im a coward and im not skipping any heat lmao its gonna take a really long time
unless i like get to 8 or whatever and then just go to 16 then 32
3 heat too hard

1st time meeting Hades, 75th attempt, and I DID IT!

finally done all aspects at 32 heat! last run was a Zagreus Sword, with 30% hermes attack speed, Athena attack, the shockwave slash, and demeter/artemis duo... that's a lot of damage

Good job!

Unless you are doing rta they don. Putting the timer on makes survival rooms go away which pauses the igt
For rta it doesnt matter
slate geyser
was gonna say exactly that yeah lol
summer geyser
Bcs if your trying to speedrun a this game 20 min isnt exactly fast
slate geyser
for igt, you probably want tight deadline off for the chance of a survival room
since the timer pauses for those

First time trying chiron bow and let me tell you it was more fun than I expected

why not aphro dash though? you couldve applied weak much more efficiently with that

||i got a sick build but Hades let me pass without fighting so no victory screen T T||

divine dash is my safety net, also I had empty inside (+10 seconds on weak duration), so it wasn't a big deal using 1 special in the beginning of fights
and with divine dash (+blinding flash) i get easy access to privileged status

This run just sort of... happened.
I got an Epic Zeus attack boon, Epic Festive Fog, got the duo in Tartarus, and then it just went up from there.
I got Exclusive Access in Asphodel/Elysium

my first 16 heat it was pretty easy because this build is so easy to controll

no deadly flourish 😔

you don't need it
the only thing you need to do with this build is to get as many afrodité boons as possible and second curse

my first 16 heat it was pretty easy because this build is so easy to controll
Also benefits package 2 at 16 heat?
wary bobcat
my heart is beating so fast
even my hands are shaking a bit
by god this is a good run
I never had this much luck in my life
vale sierra
I think it's almost free heat
god no, if youre unlucky it will actually ruin you
like homing attack up baby hydras that are all armored, jumping everywhere, and you dont have a deflect
its scary
or duplicating speed witches
full heron
Oh I didn't know that. It never ruined my run
full heron
or duplicating speed witches
I hate duplicate speed in Elysium

yea, i jot duplicating speed brimstones in tart and lost a dd
like yea it was 40 heat, but if i got any other combo i wouldve been fine

I'll try 32 heat tomorrow I'm still very bad at higher heat runs

yea im not too great either, i was only able to win 32 cuz i got lucky tbh

I still can't go higher than five with other weapons than twins

With which weapon do you have highest heat?
full heron
I can't even do 4 with bow 😢
wary bobcat
Bow is overall a great weapon
But if you have problems with bow maybe use gun it makes stufg easier too
vale sierra
I can't even do 4 with bow 😢
it takes a lot of time and patients, and im sure youll be able to due time

Cold embrace is uhhh unique
Maybe in the far future when the devs add like I dunno 60 new aspects and from all of them this one aspect needs cold embrace
lunar peak
All of my best builds today i died on 2nd phase hades its so lame
Except for when he let me pass that build was good too
elder heath
have you tried shield of zeus?
wary bobcat
Zeus shield is really hard
lunar peak
Not yet
wary bobcat
I never had good expirience with it
obtuse arch
if u wanna DPS with the special properly it requires a bit of micromanagement u might not be used to
wary bobcat
Maybe Ill try again sometime
obtuse arch
if u just wanna toss and forget it's definitely not difficult
lunar peak
Everytime I've died too it was his AOE sweep + slight lunge
elder heath
you just need to dash through his spin. You can time it so you invul frame through it
lunar peak
Like you know how it shows a slight telegraph circle before hades sweeps? Well it can be bad to use that as judgement if ur safe cause he lunges a bit when he AOE sweeps sometimes
Yeah i know that lol
elder heath
i suggest getting near miss boons or athena's dash
lunar peak
The times i got hit i was dashing away into a wall but didnt time it right
elder heath
your best option is to just stay away and be safe
obtuse arch
it's best if u aim at him when u try to dash with i-frames
elder heath
without FO he's very easily telegraphed
obtuse arch
if u dash far behind him his spin takes enough time where u might still get hit after the dash
lunar peak
Yee ive killed him with HS on multiple times
The AOE sweep is the trollest thing he does for me
BLEGHBHH
I saved videos of him killing me to see where i messed up
lunar peak
Cause a few times i was like nah he telegraphs the move wrong
But if u watch close he lunges toward you
obtuse arch
he lunges wherever he pleases, if we're being exact
elder heath
he lunges in two scenarios: When he throws the two boiling blood projectiles and when he charges for a bit then thrusts
obtuse arch
my point is, he doesn't lunge towards u, necessarily, sometimes he predicts u
mostly it looks funny, but sometimes he can bait u like crazy
lunar peak
Yee true
elder heath
btw, hades phase 1 is harder than phase2
lunar peak
I notice if i get too frantic and just clumsily dash he just AOEs at the perfect time everytime
elder heath
yeaah you just have to be careful
obtuse arch
@elder heath how so?
elder heath
Too many hords, hard to focus + projects so there's a lot of things to focus on
the only hard thing about phase 2 is the traps
obtuse arch
that's the only thing that makes the fight hard for me in general
phase 2 is usually where i lose hp at
sometimes i lose too much hp there
one time i got blood-boiled cause i was trying to avoid an urn, then i stepped on another urn, because i got blood-boiled, then hades triple-slapped me
cause i panicked
obtuse arch
the funniest death i've seen, though, when it comes to urns, was a streamer i was watching, not my own run
his curse of vengeance (ares revenge boon) + zeus duo (automatically activating) kept hitting urns
which killed him, while he was hiding behind the rocks from the lasers
obtuse arch
made me realize I never want that Duo
he didn't even realize what was happening, but I did and I was wondering the whole time "honestly, ur just dead here, u can't avoid all these urns with this thing activating all the time"
elder heath
you can just hug dad

okay now you have me curious, @summer geyser
why would increasing enemy speed help me?
grave totem
Enemies also spawn faster with FO2 on
cloud ruin
aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

So you're saving time having to wait for the enemies to spawn in
cloud ruin
That would have helped SO MUCH
hearty surge
ooh thats my new record by over a minute
cloud ruin
Nice!
summer geyser
Yeah fo2 helps
And turn off td
It removes survival rooms
But fo2 shouldn’t be a problem if you’re speedrunning right. Enemies should be dead a second after they spawn

It removes survival rooms
Wait... It does?! Then how did I get a Than room in Elysium?

generally people don't take EM4 until very high heat

Or just wanting to see EM4 Hades for themselves
umbral forge
for sure! very cool fight, and the song alone is worth it
crisp ginkgo
how high is very high? 32 is a personal best, and i've also done a LOT of 10 heat EM4 runs so i am way more scared of lasting consequences than EM4
vale sierra
well 32 is half
so like once you start hitting like 40 is when i say its getting dummy high
imo but depends on the person
crisp ginkgo
yeah, i mean i got a zeus legendary in asphodel's first room
so i think i just won the RNG gods' favor this time
vale sierra
yea one time in early access i got zeus legendary out of tart but ive never gotten that luck again
crisp ginkgo
and smoldering air is one of my favorite builds
crisp ginkgo
had poseidon, also have had success with zeus and athena
vale sierra
but arti/aphro i prefer having max guage
crisp ginkgo
dite is great vs hades, but otherwise not that useful lol
umbral forge
when to take EM4 really depends on the weapon and your familiarity with the fight
weapons like beo boss really easily, so even when don't know the patterns (like me) you can take it without too much trouble
crisp ginkgo
my EM4 criteria is literally just how spicy i'm feeling
umbral forge
some weapons (like sword or something) might struggle much more
crisp ginkgo
i dont think about it that much
vale sierra
i generally run em2 cuz i hate theseus and asterius
umbral forge
in general, people start taking it in the 40s usually
vale sierra
i sholud probably start running fo2 em3 so i can get used to them
cuz fo2 em2 i can do easily
crisp ginkgo
gotcha. yeah im scared of convenience fee and lasting cosequences the most

Your speed is incredible for how many runs you've done
And 11 win streak
I'm impressed
heavy nacelle
New to the game but not the genre haha
ashen gazelle
Hm, I started out being real bad, though I suppose there are some who are good from the get-go.
heavy nacelle
In my first run, I got knocked down to 1 HP by traps and beat Meg without being touched.
I ended up dying to lava.
heavy nacelle
So, with the shield, whenever I spam left click, it flings me across the map.
When I reload my save, this usually disappears.
I have no idea how to trigger it.
ashen gazelle
What in the world
heavy nacelle
Trying to get it to show up again but it seems to be a really inconsistent bug.
ashen gazelle
You should report it
heavy nacelle
I got it to work in Elysium but then it didn't work in the Satyr section.
I want to figure out how it even works first haha.
I still don't know how to make it happen but I will record it next time I see it.
heavy nacelle
The other glitch is that for some reason I had persistent gold in the House of Hades between runs.
Didn't disappear or reset on new run but did when I finished the 2nd run
ashen gazelle
Weird
heavy nacelle
Only happened once and I don't know how to do that again either. I got lucky because my 2nd run had hoarding slash in Tartarus.
ashen gazelle
Hoh
That's good
Still a bug though
Good idea to report it, but I guess that could be hard if you don't know how it happened.
heavy nacelle
Yeah. If there's someone to report it to, I'll gladly report those bugs. No idea how to substantiate them though.
ashen gazelle
If you press F10 you can report bugs
heavy nacelle
Oh?
ashen gazelle
Yeah
heavy nacelle
Oh, in game.
ashen gazelle
Yeah

ashen gazelle

Only happened once and I don't know how to do that again either. I got lucky bec...
I'm looking at these high heat records now and I think I beat the record with that luck.
I had 63 in just under 14 minutes.
Spent all my gold at Charon before Hades fight but still had >1k. Do glitched runs count?
heavy nacelle
Darn
ashen gazelle
Nuts
That's real fast, but it was glitched so it doesn't count for submissions unfortunately
Though that's almost max heat
heavy nacelle
I thought 63 was max heat.
heavy nacelle
I've beaten the main story afaik, so I thought that was the limit.
Ah. Hmm, looks like I need to make a new save for that.
ashen gazelle
Hell mode has an extra condition
heavy nacelle
What's that condition?

Removes the immunity the game gives you after taking a big chunk of damage

apparently its heroic life aff
ashen gazelle
Yeah you need to teach us

I'm just high APM in a lot of games. I don't know the meta and apparently I don't even know all the boss fights lol.
ashen gazelle
I really need to work on my speed
heavy nacelle
I really need to avoid Poseidon. I really dislike push.
frigid bay
Zeus Shield Merciful End is pretty fun, would recommend
did this man really just say poseidon dash is bad
heavy nacelle
Poseidon's attack boon that adds push + damage is not that good.
I do like his effect on the zag special
vale crest
heavy nacelle
I really like Aphrodite's flurry slash thing + hoarding slash and then I just grab every gold coin, reroll for gold if I can.
frigid bay
bow its solid if you dont have artemis dash
heavy nacelle
Artemis' stuff feels super OP. I got dash + attack + special deflect from her one run iirc.
vale crest
Poseidon dash is like objectively the best boon in the game
ashen gazelle
I think what Noa meant to say is that Poseidon dash is the best boon in the game
heavy nacelle
That with +3 dashes from Hermes and I finished most of the Satyr rooms in seconds.
vale crest
im just clowning lol
smoky bough
idk seems kinda bad, you don't even need it to do 63 heat obviously
maybe aphro dash was better all along
ashen gazelle
Pash dash stinky
grave totem
you stinky
heavy nacelle
If I roll a new save, I'll have nothing unlocked, right?
frigid bay
yeah
ashen gazelle
Yeah
heavy nacelle
Bah
All I have for unlocked aspects is the really crappy Chinese spear that only pierces.
simple zenith
try recording
ashen gazelle
Uh
simple zenith
👍
ashen gazelle
That one is good though
heavy nacelle
That one is good though
It is?
heavy nacelle
I don't see how it can be good. It just pierces.
heavy nacelle
How did you end up using it?
Daedalus for triple hits with it seems like the only thing I can think of that would redeem it
ashen gazelle
Serrated point with Arty dash is real good
That's what I did
And the special is really good too
I like Guan Yu special with Poseidon
And if you get Sea Storm you're in the biz
Though I could just be bad at the game
I mean, I'm still a noob as far as I'm concerned
heavy nacelle
I will give it a go on low heat just in case.
ashen gazelle
I mean, I'm still a noob as far as I'm concerned
50 wins means nothing in this world

Are these accurate? Looks like best Zag sword is literally 3 minutes better - RIP

Yes, but please move general discussion of the game to an appropriate channel, not #h1-victory-boasting. I would recommend #h1-builds-and-combat or #h1-high-heat-strategies

Good idea

A brisk jog.

Zeus Shield Merciful End is pretty fun, would recommend
If you aren't running aim assist Poseidon is bottom tier 99% of the time.
Knockback is a bad mechanic in this game.
frigid bay
disagree
i have aim assist off mkb, never really struggled with knockback as long as im not running fists or sword
ashen gazelle
I always have aim assist on
frigid bay
styx also becomes a joke with any poseidon slot apart from call
ashen gazelle
But I play gamepad

So disappointingly close to 100%

Yeeeah that was pretty dope, smoldering air was one of my last styx rooms. I think I was still attacking fast enough to never not have second wind active but it was nice to be sure
Got hit only once during hades fight, when I forgot to call for a while at some point. Just held down attack button xd

That's the way it should be, Crepes.

Wait i thought the game used to just display like less boon choices (similar to that of a pom screen when you have less than three boons) when you have all boons of a god

Not sure why it would do that when it can offer replacements
So many purple Artemises

An Aphrodite 32 heat for @lime bane , for being such a help to me in my initial goal of 32 heat on all weapons, and for bringing a bit of the "punishment" side of the pact to the high heat channel 😄
lime bane
Awwww! Thank you! 💗

Working on a viable 32 Heat set-up for speedrunning without FO2. Dad spins too fast.

Ah, the tried and true Dem Fist ME

Zag Fists, actually.
I never tried it before last month, it really is kinda crazy to me how strong it is.
summer geyser
For the monthly challenge!! I was constantly showering my love with my call. I had smoldering air as well as the Zeus boon that charges up your call faster. Love for everyone! Dio is one of my favorite gods and lucifer is one of my favorites(i dont have a favorite). I dedicate this victory to everyone at #h1-high-heat-strategies for helping me push higher in heat and overall becoming a better player. Thank you all!!
placid gulch
my own slightly more modest achievement (compared to some of you crazy skilled people). Decided I would increase heat 1 each run to gather materials but I wanted to see if I could keep the streak going to 10 heat on all weapons. Worked out! I guess now on to starting to finish the achievements.
Also happened to be the run that I got my first 4k crit on. So that was neat.
lime bane
@autumn spindle Happy Valentine's Day, Lady Aphrodite! I hope you like my very courtenberry run (including not getting the Disciple of Aphrodite by just a little ). 💝
lime bane
@ionic nest I dedicate this victory to you, my good shade! 💝
ionic nest
I see you through the eyes of the crimson phoenix! Thank you, your run is perfect 
lime bane
@night hornet I remember you said Talos is one of your favorite aspects, so I dedicate this Talos AP2 run to you. I got good AP2 boons. Thanks, Amir! Happy Valentine's Day! 💝

This (very lucky) first try nemesis 40 heat goes out to @tame shore for believing in me not just being a beo one trick

My first 16 heat clear, It went reasonably well I think.

@ashen gazelle I dedicate this run to you in reciprocation of the time you dedicated a run to me when I failed my 5-heat entry for the Do A Barrel Roll challenge! This smashing 5-heat run was a blast, with plenty of Valentine's Day duos. Thanks for being a cool bro!

Oooh. Brotherly love~! 💕

I dedicate this run to the everyone here for fostering a welcoming and positive community. This is where I @everyone right?

Rare crop 👀

Ah, I forgot about that. But yeah, unsellable

barely counts as a boon tbh

I only had Strike when I took it, so I didn't feel too bad
fair gate
dedicating my first 50 to all my follow players who, despite all logic and reason, insist that beowulf is a good weapon for high heat
umbral forge
it is btw
fair gate
there are worse weapons, to be sure
also, congrats on your beo wr!
only just got around to watching it
umbral forge
thanks! for 50 I actually legitimately believe it's top 5. For 55 it's trash though
fair gate
the AP/UC/CF that's obligatory at 50 hurts beo a lot
but the EM4 is way easier, so i guess it evens out a bit
fair gate
Whats the WR btw
6:47 is the speedrun, but pseudo has the heat record at 52
speed record is by ananke
umbral forge
soon (tm) I'll do 53, and get a sub 15 50 heat with it
umbral forge
yeah just second DC (and hell mode from your pact) DC2 can be painful on the timer in tart, but other than that it's not toooo bad (elysium unarmored swordsmen rooms are pain though)
fair gate
i defs would've timed out on this run with DC2, but beo can go faster for sure

Problem with Blade Rift is that if you're going for one Blade Rift effect, you gotta go all in.
Otherwise it'd all be pretty mediocre overall
