wow, before even acquiring rail...

lunar peak
vale sierra
#

yea cursed slash is good if built correctly and in the right hands, what were they talking about

winged shoal
#

it is kinda bad though if you dont have a high enough hitrate

#

but i get hit a lot so thats probably why im biased and use zag fists

dawn egret
vale sierra
#

a very wet and shocking zoom

winged shoal
#

jury summons at 5 heat 😳

dawn egret
#

seems like the least intrusive to me tbh

lunar peak
#

I mean calling anything in the game a "noob trap" is just misinformation, because maybe I just like the life-steal mechanic cause it's fun?

winged shoal
#

it wears down your time because enemy spawn time

vale sierra
lunar peak
#

I mean if you play the game avoiding "noob traps" you should just use the same weapon and boons every run

vale sierra
#

i play on hell mode an always deal with it so its become a norm for me

shadow needle
winged shoal
#

hell mode has PL so i would die every time

shadow needle
#

But to hell with anyone who hates on cursed slash

lunar peak
#

no such thing as a "noob trap" its all based on how you want to play...

#

you could say the punishment contract "are noob traps" cause they make the game harder lol...

winged shoal
#

people call hs a noob trap but i still use it so go off

shadow needle
#

A β€œnoob trap” I define as something that sounds great on paper, but isn’t actually a great idea for a new player lol

lunar peak
#

you could say anything that isn't high DPS or highly defensive is a noob trap lol

shadow needle
#

Things like butterfly, say, that require consistent execution to make the most of

lunar peak
#

still not a noob trap, if you're good enough to do encounters without getting hit its one of the best keepsakes in the game lol

shadow needle
#

That a lil nubblet is going to think is terrible the first time they use it because they take a hit every room and throw it back in the closet to never touch it again

lunar peak
#

no such thing as a noob trap other than in fact, being a noob.

#

if you have enough skill nothing is a noob trap cause you cant be trapped

winged shoal
#

well.

#

yeah.

#

at that point you're not a noob anymore

#

hence cannot be trapped by the noob trap

lunar peak
#

i'm gonna just keep beating the game with "noob builds" to prove myself to strangers on the internet i'm good at games

winged shoal
#

i think we have very different interpretation of what a noob trap is

shadow needle
#

Have....... fun?

winged shoal
#

anyway zag fists are fun with max dodge

#

im gonna try to get it again

shadow needle
#

Stand in lasers

#

Never get hit

#

Feels good man

lunar peak
#

someone tell me the worst possible keepsake and weapon combo i can use and ima beat the game with it

#

for my 3rd escape

shadow needle
#

fists butterfly. Have fun!

lunar peak
#

okay i got you

shadow needle
#

Actually better yet, fists distant memory

#

You’ll adore that

lunar peak
#

now thats just not fair lol

#

ill do it tho idgaf

lunar peak
#

i just need to listen to this dialogue for my last escape i paused ot

vale sierra
#

itll do literally nothing

shadow needle
#

Or that

lunar peak
#

i think it would be fun to try and make a build that works with the fists and distant memory tho

vale sierra
#

kinetic launcher

#

and take like demeter fists

#

You'd need to get Kinetic Launcher, yeah

#

It took me 4 hours of 0 heat runs before I got the sell-a-legendary-boon one tonight |3

#

The game just refused to allow the cards to line up correctly. Kept giving me the legendary(s) in Styx and then no opportunity to sell

dawn egret
#

I sold the fishing boon that you get from a scripted posiden convo

grave totem
#

It kinda sucks anyways

dawn egret
#

kind of?

grave totem
#

Sorry

#

It sucks anyways

I did 32 heat on rail and I never plan on doing it again

#

My stress levels were through the roof

jumping directly from 14 to 32 :O

Finally completed a dash-only run! No attacks or specials were used. I did use Athena's aid for protection.

winged shoal
#

thats wild

novel dragon
#

dash only with zeus?

#

youre insane

#

no wonder you have a 52 min clear time lmao

#

but congrats though

short cobalt
#

Could have been much faster if I got all the boons I wanted. Still, I feel accomplished.

grave totem
#

zeus dash without the t2's? tuff

brave fulcrum
#

poseidon fits more for the job dusa but zeus is cool

short cobalt
#

Zeus dash can be super effective with double strikes, plus the legendary. I wasn't so lucky.

#

I also wanted more dashes from Hermes, but he wouldn't comply

brave fulcrum
#

it do be like that sometime

short cobalt
#

Yeah. 3 Hermes boons, and no extra dashes, haha

#

I'll have a lot of editing to do, but this may be the first run I make a video from

winged shoal
#

im gonna try that sometime

#

seems like fun

brave fulcrum
#

it is

short cobalt
#

It's mostly fun. Some chambers get tedious.

winged shoal
#

ive been trying more 32 heat runs lately so this would be a nice breather

brave fulcrum
#

same

#

and fail dusa

short cobalt
#

I had been planning that build for a while. Figured EM3 would be a fair difficulty level for such an absurd run. Once I got Zeus' epic dash in the first chamber, I knew it was time.

#

Then, I stupidly went for a hammer chamber, realizing too late it wouldn't help

winged shoal
#

daedalus should build some shoes for zag

short cobalt
#

Right? Gotta run all that way barefoot

#

I wish we could meet Daedalus in the game. He is my favorite character

novel dragon
#

i beat dad in like 40 seconds with this lol

short cobalt
#

Dang. That setup could clear a much higher heat, for sure

novel dragon
#

yeah it very easily could

#

i was one shotting most things

static bolt
#

Beat Hades for the third and fourth time tonight. Only got twin fists and Stygian blade left to do!

@brave fulcrum Dang. Just constant shoving and zapping?

Sadly didn't get the +whatever% vs. Bosses boon

Still very powerful

Only HS but i plan to go harder

#

i made it all the way to styx

#

but..i died to a rat

#

lol

#

a really giant rat.

fickle halo
#

Only my second victory, but proud nonetheless

#

Cursed Slash is a godsend

#

Gilgamesh is quickly becoming my favorite weapon to play with.
I also had the +900% to armor dash-strike thing.

good for u pal

orchid heron
#

Winter harvest + killing freeze(chill with decay leading to instant death at 10% health combination with festive fog [duo boon combination which inflict chill and deal lightning damage (also has jolted as lightning is on my special)], frost strike level 8 for maximise damage from archilles spear after 150% damage which also applies on the festive fog that deals 500 plus damage per impact... Don't need any ultimate boon or any good keepsake... This is extremly potent on boss for the 10% instant ko

novel dragon
#

you didnt need to describe what each of your boons do/are lol

#

but eitherway, amazing build there

orchid heron
#

every run is calculated for me

#

But thanx

brave fulcrum
#

Appreciate the explanation

orchid heron
#

Also I use that keepsake because I wan to get 3 star for all the keepsake... Trying to 100% the game... Only left increasing rank and maxising weapon with titan blood, everything else done

How do u get the different victory borders??

So fun

#

poseidon with a non-lodging cast residentzag

violet bloom
#

yes

#

i just used it for the cast damage

winged shoal
#

thats fair

#

+50% is powerful after all

violet bloom
#

i wish i got mirage shot

winged shoal
#

i find an epic exit wounds with a heroic crush shot better though

violet bloom
#

but didn't get poseidon

#

but i was lucky enough to get this run

winged shoal
#

jesus lv 8

#

too bad its a common but still

violet bloom
#

this build melted hades

#

i think it was a 1 min hades fight

winged shoal
#

try it on em4 hades

#

i think im gonna start with em3 and get used to that

and then do em4

very fun

fair gate

or um

#

that's my excuse anyway

simple zenith
#

dang that clean kill sittin there doin absolutely nothing

fair gate
#

oh lmao that was hilarious

#

it was that or hunter instinct, so i rerolled

#

got clean kill or hunter instinct again

#

even funnier because it could have been mirage shot

tranquil sun
#

Finally 40 heat all weapons ! I was taking my time, being safe, but didn't expect a sub-20min clean with JS3 + CP2. Had to lower to FO1 bc i suck with melee weapons.

atomic cargo
#

should have recorded this run, new PB with nemesis thanks to starting with 3 artemis boons in a row

last violet
#

shoutout to wump for the build idea !!!

static bolt
#

Just beat Hades 6 times in 54 runs. Is that good? Probably not. But damm was the last run terrible. I had to do all the styx satyr tunnels, lost all of my death defiance and relied on that one boon that allows you to regain health.

#

(And i casually forgot you have to do it 9 times)

summer geyser
#

Yes thats pretty good

wet hill
#

just the festive fog doing about 1200 damage just from the explosions

#

it could get to like 2000 with the ice and the electric

Wow that build would have been even better on beowulf or hera

oh nice, fast

i might do an attack speed build with zag sword

but ive done an evade build with zag fist and got to lie 60% evade

#

since i like chiron

#

and might try it out

opaque crown
#

It takes a long time to pay off

#

my build wasn't finished until before the Champions and as a result I lost all of my death defiances on the bull and butterflies

vale sierra
#

oof

#

well ill try it out when i can

opaque crown
#

as opposed to Specials like Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, etc that make your Chiron chew through rooms very early

but don't be afraid to try it out and see if you like it squirtnya

Thank you sir. If I would have dodge all her attacks I would have impressed myself even more xD

#

This isn't a run obviously, but after 250 hours and over 300 runs I finally got this chaos boon that let me finish the fated prophecies lol

#

I was beginning to think it didn't exist. Finally got those 30 keys I can't spend on anything because I have all of the contracotr stuff done

It was my first run with a summon and ||I saved it the entire time like I can make it through the rest, but thisll come in handy for Hades πŸ‘€||

Silliest zeus shield run i think I've ever had. All by accident too!

Idk, but this boon randomness is hilarious, i'm off hunting them to fulfill the prophecies, 10+ runs i don't get anything, and then the game gives me three legendary boons at once, like why? xD

I actually only used 2 DDs the entire run!

Only one dd used total, on the last phase of final fight like 5 seconds before ending

The most powerful Beo run I've had yet! Didn't even lose acorn on Hades fight, though I still haven't gotten Black Out.

I got a lucky eurydice and upped both of my early lightning boons to Heroic

There was... a lot of lightning

I love when that happens

#

Eh, he's not my fav

But I wanted to test the eris zeus combo

ashen gazelle
#

Yeah, it's good

heavy mulch
#

And damn does it do damage

ashen gazelle
#

Yep

#

Zeus is good at room clearing

plus I had Lambent Plume and Rush Delivery with a 75% bonus damage mod

and Lambent Plume stacked on ALL encounters to 35%

fastest time yet, but I'm small potatoes

ooooh we're half way there

uneven cedar
#

actually got pretty lucky this run

#

got Heart Rend as early as the Tartarus Miniboss

brave fulcrum
#

Been there

#

So gud

uneven cedar
#

i actually plan to just jump straight to 32

#

there isnt really any point in doing the in between levels is there

#

apart from titan blood and stuff

brave fulcrum
#

Oh gud

#

I did that too

#

Though I jumped from 18 to 32

#

Just uh

#

buckle up

scenic nymph
uneven cedar
#

yeah i even picked FO2 at 16 heat instead of free heat like CF to prepare myself for the inevitable 32

novel dragon
#

didnt get extra dashes from hermes so serrated point ended up being dangerous against bosses, so i had to play it safely

simple zenith
#

fwiw flurry and serrated dont mix well

#

usually if you get flurry you avoid serrated like the plague

uneven cedar
#

was getting 2k+ crits on the special lmao

#

Battle Rage actually really good with it

#

since you 1 shot most mobs

#

didnt even use SD on hades lol

novel dragon
#

sd on 9 heat?

#

for the prophecy?

shut ruin
#

considering your hp is pretty low with guan yu you're quite likely to get killed

novel dragon
#

huh, i never considered that

#

but couldnt you always just heal using the spin

shut ruin
#

they're not using quick spin, so that's not even much of a good option

#

since they're doing a charged skewer build the enemy is too far away to heal off of anyway

brave fulcrum
#

and the heal is pretty unreliable imo

uneven cedar
#

yeah

#

also I just use SD on pretty much any heat now since its pretty much mandatory on high heat due to LC4

Fastest Run yet.

#

I got Dio call AND Naus both inside of styx lol

#

double nem crest from a rerolled pool was nice at the very end there

Maybe they're just trying to make shackle work

they dont have shackle though

#

and had a lvl 9 attack boon

My very first no darkness

#

Guide to beating it, by me: double dash as if you never had lost any mirror upgrade

novel dragon
severe jackal
#

lol

#

Is this a low heat setup?

shut ruin
#

no mirror upgrades
rl1

severe jackal
#

Dash Nova is the mvp

#

I mean

#

The sword heat level is literally at 2

#

So I figured why not set it at 2

#

since it wont make a dang difference

#

unless it unlocks straight up to 8

uneven cedar
#

tbh you can run pretty much anything at low heat

#

it doesnt make too big of a difference

shut ruin
#

ap2 residentzag

quasi aurora
#

turning off defiances and second dash is a big difference though. props to Xate

winged shoal
#

press spacebar to win. did a dash-only run where i only allow myself to do damage via dashing. unfortunately did not get sea storm because im an idiot and didnt realised that tidal dash doesnt qualify for a sea storm prerequisite.

#

i have no idea how this qualified for a TD3 time.

#

theres not even a greece fish residentzag

my binds for all other attacking have been moved as far away from wasd as possible

apart from q which i forgot

It was quite hard to achieve this since i had no aspect (zagreus)

Also i had the underworld customs pop, which made it even harder to get such a good build.

#

how did you do this with UC

lunar peak
#

UC?

winged shoal
#

underworld customs

#

thats insane

lunar peak
#

Yeah i don't know man 😐

#

I was really gifted i guess

#

The beams damage was insane, if only i had another cast... Damn chaos i had to select extra cast curse instead of special damage curse.

#

Btw there was 2 funny thingz about this build:

#
  1. doom damage 😐 it was insane, like 700.
#
  1. exagryph upgrades. Shotgun (spread fire*) + explosive rounds made it quite fun.
#

Also i did not used any of my death defiances so yea 😎

winged shoal
#

thats well wicked, grats

#

Dire Misfortune saved me, i think.

#

new heat and time pb on the spear

lunar peak
#

Huh really good sir though my build was cooler buuut your heat is 20 so i guess i must shut up 🀐

winged shoal
#

your build is severely cooler

lunar peak
#

If only i had another cast

winged shoal
#

idk how you managed that with UC of all pacts

lunar peak
#

I have no idea how i am alive! [sonic meme]

winged shoal
#

i dont think i can ever play another run without fo2 on

#

everything feels so slow without it

lilac fog
#

something I call the "hold LMB and jump around like you listened to too much House of Pain" build

#

didnt get curse of nausea or low tolerance despite seeing dio like 6 times after enabling them :(

lilac fog

#

i was usually close into enemies tbh

#

but curse of nausea was my main goal

cloud ruin
#

this is my first actual hades speedrun

#

can't submit it to the leaderboards because I didn't record myself dying/completing a run beforehand in order to refresh the seed

#

but NOW I KNOW and i'm probably going to go demeter fists for more speed next time

#

(also i didn't even have a companion, so that probably makes things somewhat more impressive)

recharge cast is good

but only if you get more casts at some point

I managed to win my second time with a weapon I only used once prior (fists)

hollow ferry
#

I beat Lernie without using up a Death Defiance when I entered the room with under 30 health left and I just had the thought... Am I actually good at this game?

#

(I ended the fight with 2 left but I had Strong Drink so I got totally refilled in the next fountain so its good)

eternal gust
#

Good job!!

hollow ferry
#

I didn't even have divine dash I was just dashing constantly

gray flint
#

What kind of build tho

winged sundial
#

now do that with em2

gray flint
#

Im starting to think Shield is a bit cheating XD, also hydra kinda easy ngl

#

Should have had 3 phases

dark crown
#

There were times when the hydra fight had three phases. It was way more tedious.

gray flint
#

Eh i guess yeah

vale sierra
dark crown
#

More invincibility time for the main head made the fight a slog.

vale sierra
#

there also used to be walls instead of pillars

#

and hp pots

#

it was very interesting

gray flint
vale sierra
#

i played back in the chaos update so its really wholesome to see the game grow

gray flint
#

There was no Chaos back then XD

#

No way

vale sierra
#

there was nothing past asphodel

#

only 4 weapons

#

artemis had no art

#

and neither did a lot of the cast tbh

#

the rooms werent nearly as populated

gray flint
#

So early access you mean?

vale sierra
#

what is the records room used to be hades's room

#

mhm

#

very early access

#

it was still super fun tho

#

arti had a different dash that was busted

gray flint
#

Obviously the mechanics are cool

#

Lets go to hades discussion tho

vale sierra
#

ight

cloud ruin
#

Because now it's literally inferior to all of arti's other options

vale sierra
#

it used to be guaranteed crits for x seconds

cloud ruin
#

guaranteed crits

#

WHAT

vale sierra
#

mhm

#

just free crits

#

and pair that with even more busted athena and dash spin

#

you could break 1k so easily since the damage scaling was crazy

cloud ruin
#

Wow

#

Never in my life would I imagine there was a dash legit superior to modern Athena Dash

vale sierra
#

yea and athena dash was garbage

#

it used to have the same efffect but made the dash slower

#

so it was poopy

cloud ruin
#

...Then what was the point of the dash?

#

Dashes make you go faster and dodge attacks

vale sierra
#

idk, ig it was the drawback for having deflect on it but still

#

was poopy

#

and most other gods were more of the same

cloud ruin
#

Athena Dash probably best boon in the entire game

#

Or at least one of them

#

So much versatility in a single boon

vale sierra
#

yea but back in early access and i mean very early it was garbage

cloud ruin
#

I remember hearing about Hades back then

#

Never got it tho because EGS

#

Also because back then I believe I was still on an Isaac kick, but I can't say for certain.

vale sierra
#

ah, but yea early access was wack

#

nyx used to not have art but now she πŸ₯΅

cloud ruin
#

night mother

vale sierra
#

yea, nyx and charon's art are much more recent

#

like one of the last few updates was their art

#

and fists was the last weapon introduced

cloud ruin
#

Really?

vale sierra
#

mhm

cloud ruin
#

So it was Sword (obs) then Bow (probably), then Shield/Spear, then the GUN and then Fists

vale sierra
#

sword, bow, shield, and spear were the base weapons for early access

#

they always exsisted

cloud ruin
#

Ah

vale sierra
#

then gun then fists yea

lost fossil
cloud ruin
#

Yooooo!

#

That's a nice Beo run!

but like rib tho??

#

thats where its at

wheat vapor
#

I want to get good at the game so I can do 32 heat with rib

#

He gotta see the world

vestal wraith
#

got Blizzard shot for the prophecy, it was pretty useless

#

but I got +53% attack from Chaos and +30% attack speed from Hermes, so Artemis attack + shadow slash did enough damage to get me through EM4

winged shoal
#

hey blizzard shot is good

vestal wraith
#

well my problem was I was always pressing the left mouse button

#

no time to press the middle mouse button

#

how are you supposed to build it? obviously you want Poseidon sword and cast buffs, but do the shards proc any effects?

#

and how does it work with Beo?

hehe only hl1

#

ooo nice

#

god it looks so much less cluttered than what i have

#

i cant get a picture but like, geez

grave totem
#

I have like all the decorations and it looks like a beautiful mess

summer geyser
#

Ive put so much gems into the house that at this point its just flowers and carpets and you cant even see anything. I should probably try and make it look nicer

we love maximalist aesthetic

I just love the total blue motif

How did you get 3 sd’s?

those are 2 dd's and 1 sd

summer geyser

I’ve only gotten max 2 from athena

1 sd, 1 athena dd and skelly tooth

Maybe 1 skelly

Ok

oh i didnt realise the skelly tooth

Nice first clear

#

With the rail as well(rail gang)

fringe wyvern
mystic fiber
#

Felt good to do it with his own spear

fringe wyvern
#

Hardest boss is theisus not even hades

summer geyser
#

I felt that way too

#

But hades just gets annoying af

fringe wyvern
#

I managed to die once during that fight. Hades was easier to manage

#

If you keep your distance and kill the ads he spawns he's manageable

brave fulcrum
#

yea screw theseus and his shield

summer geyser
#

Just whale on thesues when he summons the god

fringe wyvern
summer geyser
#

And his spear is vert easy to dodge

#

Hades is not always that predictable

fringe wyvern
#

It's that are attack and his God summon that gets me

#

Aoe

summer geyser
#

One moment he is shooting skulls at you and the next moment he spin attacks

summer geyser
mystic fiber
#

Honestly the Theseus fight was pretty good once I treated it like Spade & Farley from Dank Souls

fringe wyvern
#

I always pick up dash defect because of theisus

mystic fiber
#

Just rotate around the pillar. Pop em with what you can based on your build. Cast or special

#

pillars*

summer geyser
#

When you see theseus red target run behind a pillar

dawn egret
fringe wyvern
#

^

mystic fiber
#

I just kind of generally run around the outer ring, but yes when he targets just kind of linger as long as it is safe

summer geyser
#

And also use acorn if u have trouble with theseus

#

Also kill the minotaur first

#

Its easier

fringe wyvern
#

I do like the hydra fight

#

Makes feel like I do alot of dmg

summer geyser
#

Its annoying at em2

#

Like extremely annoying

winged shoal
#

its only annoying with sword or fists

fringe wyvern
#

Fits is where it's at

summer geyser
#

At higher heat its annoying

fringe wyvern
#

Big burst

summer geyser
#

Bcs of how much damage the heads can do

#

And there are so many of them

fringe wyvern
#

3 spawn then 5 then 8 right

winged shoal
#

its 3 then 7

summer geyser
#

There are only 2 phases

fringe wyvern
#

Save call for the final phase

winged shoal
#

or does it have 4 phases in emless

fringe wyvern
#

Oh my bad it's two XD

winged shoal
#

doing a summon or call at the final phase for the hydra is amazing

#

just poof

dawn egret
#

i once had like 3-4 of the spawner heads on EM2, it was great.

winged shoal
#

bye-bye lernie

summer geyser
#

Pos summon in hydra clutched so many times when i was at barely any health

#

For speedrunning em2 is great

frigid bay
#

not only did i get my first sub 15 but I was also super close to sub 12 which was my other big goal!

#

only used acorn cus i went in down 2 defiances, im not a nub i swear

#

if i hadent choked on the meg i would have had sub 12 ez

summer geyser
#

πŸ‘

summer geyser
frigid bay
#

oh i know

summer geyser
#

Ok

frigid bay
#

i have em1 only cus im trying to squeeze the most titans blood out of heat as i can πŸ˜…

summer geyser
#

Lmao

frigid bay
#

im only gonna deal with fo2 once im going for like sub 10 or something

midnight compass
frigid bay
#

overall it only saves a few seconds and im honestly not even that good

summer geyser
#

Overall it saves a lot of time but yeah

frigid bay
#

dont even have 80 runs yet :>

summer geyser
#

I had like 2 minute drop form 11:30 to 10:40 after em2 and fo2

frigid bay
#

i usually run em2, it defo would have helped with that run since i lost some time running around

summer geyser
#

Also if u use eris fo2 wont even be a problemdusa

frigid bay
#

i follow the thirst

#

unless its shield i dont like shield

summer geyser
#

I’ve started doing that now

#

I just use eris for speedrunning

frigid bay
#

i did also have a like 5 sword runs in a row thing where i tried poseidon sword and dropped my time from over 20 mins to 15:40 or so

#

but apart from that mostly just following darker thirst lol

#

i enjoy all the weapons so

summer geyser
#

Same except shield lol

frigid bay
#

i might try a zeus shield merciful end but idk how good it'll work

summer geyser
#

I enjoy using spear, bow, rail significantly more tho

frigid bay
#

if thats the order in which you enjoy the most

#

there are spear fans? huh?

summer geyser
#

It goes rail, bow, spear sorryshadegrief

#

Although i love aspect of hades

devout dragon
#

Nearly got under 10 minutes with the bow, just need to shed a little bit off. Hera with aphro cast is crazy nice.

frigid bay
#

i've tried hera and i just couldnt manage, thats insane though

summer geyser
#

I love hera bow

#

Its genuinely fun to use

frigid bay
#

i really struggle with cast aspect shield too

#

dunno why, id say im solid with everything else

devout dragon
# frigid bay i really struggle with cast aspect shield too

Trick with Hera is just loading the cast and firing fast instead of going for the perfect shot evey time. Trick with the shield is to load the casts during the shield bash instead of before. Both of those things will save you a ton of time.

frigid bay
#

i've heard that about shield, im just bad with it lol

#

thanks for the bow info though, im used to crit build bow which is dash attack everywhere

devout dragon
#

I love all 4 bow aspects, just treat Hera like its a shotgun basically

frigid bay
#

i tried a chiron zeus build and it was pretty fun but not very fast, dont have much experience with sharanga

summer geyser
#

Chiron Zeus is not great

frigid bay
#

fun tho

summer geyser
#

Do chiron dio or artemis

#

Zeus doesn’t hit for each shot

frigid bay
#

oh that explains a lot actually

summer geyser
#

There is a cooldown

frigid bay
#

i mean it would be p op tbf

summer geyser
#

Yeah

dawn egret
#

if only he hadn't played hard to get, I could have had Cold Fusion here too

vale sierra
#

oooo, still a great build tho

dawn egret
#

Pom Blossom really popped off

#

just, like, upgrading Wave Pounding 4 times by itself or something

vale sierra
#

nice

#

whenever i take mom pom it only upgrades my useless boons :3

dawn egret
#

I've been taking it almost every time I enter styx at this point.

#

5 free poms or something if you take all the paths

vale sierra
#

yea, very cool

#

and sometimes i take it through elysium

dawn egret
#

if I'm lucky with boons I get to do that, but usually i have to take a boon trinket to make sure i get a duo

frigid bay
#

tried fo1 and hades decided to dodge my meg :)

#

fo1 was p easy but hades was rough

grave totem
dawn egret
#

@vale sierra right after we talked about fully loaded lol

#

exit wounds is straight nasty here

brave fulcrum
#

fully loaded, exit wounds and poseidon aspect

#

nasty combo

dawn egret
#

flurry cast too

#

only common but

brave fulcrum
#

even at common the diff from not having it is pretty big

dawn egret
#

yeah being able to hold down cast is nutty

orchid heron
#

The combination is awesome

#

Mirage shot + fully loaded + exit wound...artemis cast would lead to insane damage too especially if u have marker boon(2nd target get crit target)

#

@dawn egret how much is the damage per cast shot, especially with those chaos boon

dawn egret
#

i think i did have marked, i just had the other cast

#

idr

#

500 maybe

#

maybe a bit less

orchid heron
#

Cast I think would be better if artemis too

#

500? I thought it would touch 600

#

But yea nice combo... Also archilis spear max level is probably the best caster weapon in game

dawn egret
#

maybe 550. It's hard to remember honestly

elder heath
#

7 casts go brrrr

dawn egret
#

i dont think i was offered from chaos, but i didnt reroll

#

I did reroll wells and didnt get any stones

elder heath
#

damnn

dawn egret
#

For my next trick, 400 max hp

elder heath
#

this would be crazy on arthur

dawn egret
#

I will simply just walk in to the hades fight with 1000 hp as my wincon

shout out to @summer geyser and @fickle knot for giving advice on 32 heat config. Third time's the charm squirtnya

#

also I didn't intend for cast build

#

I had no cast by elysium

#

and uncle fish gave me mirage shot

#

was like "screw it, if I somehow won, this would be a miracle"

What's your fastest run with rail?

grave totem
#

Not him but 11:03

fringe wyvern
#

16 mins omg

fair gate
#

ah, blizzard shot+mirage shot

#

a classic cast build

#

hmm

#

we need a catchier name for that than β€œblizzard shot+mirage shot”

fringe wyvern
#

I wonder what I could do with the right doom boons from.hades and electro multi shock from zeus

fair gate
#

i propose β€œblirage shot”

brave fulcrum

Blizzagraja Shot

fair gate

it’s perfect

Mizzard shot

i kinda like mizzard shot

#

my phone thinks i’m tryna write mozzarella tho lmao

fringe wyvern
#

Wait you can get freeze and slow effects on rail attack?

fair gate
#

yes

#

works just the same as anywhere else

fringe wyvern
#

: puts down phone and runs to their PC:

static bolt
#

like 24 minutes

#

I'm bad at this

fair gate
#

24 minutes honestly isn’t that bad if you’re not explicitly trying to go fast

grave totem
#

i cant get any faster than 10:47

#

anger

fair gate
#

i can’t break sub 10 lmao

#

i’ve got like, 10:19, 10:49, 10:otherstuff

grave totem
#

well neither can i

static bolt
#

i just break all the pots for the satisfying crunch

fair gate
#

i keep getting weirdly close but i can’t crack the threshold

grave totem
#

almost did a sub 10 with ME gilga but got 5 sacked

fair gate
#

i barely sub 12’d with gilga once and that’s enough for me

#

i can’t play that aspect at all lol

I guess this counts, I got a victory (first time with bow), and I got a great image of zag

the shield just is cheats XD

#

honestly surprised that the second most wins are with the sword, which builds?

lunar peak
#

A lot of it was when I was messing around with the base sword, learning the game

#

Afterwards, I did a few runs with Arthur. Crit stuff with Artemis attack for the most part

gray flint
#

hmmm yes, it would take me a lot to get accustomed to the sword

#

whats your favorite shield build tho

lunar peak
#

... Freezing Vortex

gray flint
#

πŸ˜› youre gonna have to explain, im new

lunar peak
#

For real, Heart Rend

#

Artemis special, Aphrodite attack or dash

#

Get the Heart Rend duo. Get a lot of rapid-fire crits

gray flint
#

ahhhh gotta love the artemis special

lunar peak
#

It's pretty solid on Zeus shield

gray flint
#

what about chaos?

#

what special do you recommend on chaos shield

lunar peak
#

Chaos shield ? I legit don't like it much, personally. The best/fastest times I've seen on it involves the Zeus special

#

... And a ton of Zeus

dawn egret
#

I understand why people like it so much.

gray flint
#

i heard zeus aspect was slower...

dawn egret
#

Even though its similar to Hera, I like it a lot more for some reason

gray flint
#

might still go for it, im curious now

lunar peak
#

Oh, Chaos aspect was faster for a while. Until 1. It got nerfed to the ground, and 2. I got times with zeus aspect that are actually decent

gray flint
#

doom inflict on my special was my first win, and it was easy af

lunar peak
#

The shield angles used to be in a circle. Now it's in a cone

#

much harder to use effectively

#

Also not as many bounces ?

gray flint
#

as i was saying, shield is cheat XD

lunar peak
#

Shield is safe

grave totem
#

its a very beginner friendly weapon

gray flint
#

"god mode? i think you mean shield"

#

even temple of styx is easy with shield

#

barely get poisoned if you can just stay and spam shield on giant rats

#

and im bad at curing

lunar peak
#

That was so fun i would have been so sad if i died lol 5hp

gray flint
#

bruh

#

when did you get exclusive access

lunar peak
#

Somewhere in Elysium

gray flint
#

dammit

#

imagine getting that early on

lunar peak
#

Funny too this run at the start Poseidon decided to over write my Athena keepsake to give me the legendary catch boon even tho ive had the fishing rod for ages

#

Got a decent hual of fish

gray flint
#

GG

dawn egret
#

wtaf

gray flint
#

i know XD

lunar peak
#

I just wish there was one more optional area you could do to keep having fun with your boons if u wanted

gray flint
#

yeah like a sandbox..

dawn egret
#

NG+

lunar peak
#

Like I got pretty much exactly what i wanted then had to frantically utilize it on hades i didn't get to test it out much

gray flint
#

cause on Skelly you can only test boonless and he doesnt fight back

lunar peak
#

Cause most duo boons i got in styx

gray flint
#

guess it pays good attention on the player to do as many runs

lunar peak
#

Yee its also a good thing

dawn egret
#

You start back in tartarus, but with a permanent curse that makes you take more damage, or do less damage.
Or maybe just a random chaos curse that never transforms

lunar peak
#

I just hope they do dlc so bad

#

But hades is also making me want to go back and do a dream play through of Pyre

gray flint
#

difficulty wise heat is enough imo

lunar peak
#

I got the platinum for pyre but didnt explore anymore endings after that

quiet atlas
#

the Sisyphus mod thingy

I not surprised someone made a mod similar.

as long as you build it like this and don’t try to run it with lightning strike or whatever

#

excuse me what

#

#

just dont get hit

#

to beat hades

#

near misses helped

#

don't get hit

#

ez

brave fulcrum
#

DC1?

#

okay

#

well my last 32 heat was with eris too

elder heath
#

well

#

dc1 cuz I had lightning strike

#

it was good enough for crowd control

#

also Rush delivery helped

brave fulcrum
#

holy crap HS dusa dusa dusa

#

you bold, son of a gun

elder heath
#

which one was HS again? the one where you purge boons or the trap one?

cloud ruin
#

The traps

brave fulcrum
#

the one where traps deal +400%

elder heath
#

ah

#

lol, i needed that to heal

#

effectively anyway

brave fulcrum
cloud ruin
#

It isn't worth it 99% of the time

brave fulcrum
#

I mean if you're confident

#

why not

cloud ruin
#

Since IIRC it also counts the lava in Asphodel as a trap

elder heath
#

yeah it does

#

it helps here though with SD

cloud ruin
#

Fair enough

elder heath
#

i can just sit in the lava and heal back to 75%

cloud ruin
#

EZ heal for next room, no need for Dionysus to give that one boon that heals after encounters

elder heath
#

yeaah

#

i tried to not follow any guides for this one (despite asking)
i might do random 32 runs with a guide later

#

just for comparison

brave fulcrum
#

fair enough

#

once again, gj

cloud ruin
#

When I get to 32 Heat I probably won't follow a guide either. Makes things more fun

elder heath
#

:D thanks

shut ruin

#

Unless you want to go and put the Punishment in Pact of Punishment

And swap some of those for stuff like the trap one

#

Or even less time

#

I could see a crit build doing insane numbers. I was only doing 1300 something but i bet it can go higher

It can

If you get an Epic or even Heroic Arti Strike it'd be crazy

I find that 5 pins isn't usually enough to diplay the build, so I do some light editing to have 10.

He truly did

woah nice one @solar wind

#

are you the RI4 cast aspect guy now

#

respect

#

also yeh that’s probably the most useful a bouldy boon has ever been lol

solar wind
#

seems that way

#

i should stop actively avoiding extra dashes though

#

it's kinda cheating, but it's just so needed on most aspects

fair gate
#

idk if i’d call it cheating

#

still gotta do it without DDs, which is the main sticking point

#

but it’s more impressive with just one dash for sure

Almost a sub 9 but im not complaining

Hey so when trying to do a speedrun why do people have the time limit heat on

vale sierra
#

cuz fast

wary bobcat
#

How

cloud ruin
vale sierra
#

they also play with em2

cloud ruin
#

Probably because em2 Lernie's arena is smaller

wary bobcat
#

I know the other ones

cloud ruin
#

Reducing the time needed to get from point A to point B to kill the heads

wary bobcat

I thought time limit also gave some kind of boon

no, just to be funny
