h1-victory-boasting

[gentle folio]

Yes

Especially at 13 heat

[quiet atlas]

pause for every decision making

if you're not that quick in tart, don't take trove, and take mid shop

past tart and asph, td3 should be a breeze

[white saddle]

I have no cast boon but I just bought fateful twist and an atlas braid and now I have two atlas braids

[quiet atlas]

lol that em4 casual flex

[white saddle]

Sorry I sent the wrong one

[quiet atlas]

hl with shield sounds not too bad right

[gentle folio]

hl not too bad with any weapon

[quiet atlas]

true, I just never turn it on unless i need to hit 20-32 heat

[gentle folio]

For 32 I have hl5 on and that kinda sucks

And lc4

[white saddle]

I used three rolls, have met her twice, and Aphrodite won't give me her cast

💔

[gentle folio]

wow

[quiet atlas]

my setup usually goes for MM, FO1, BP1, DC1, TD3, EM1-3

ouch that hurts

[gentle folio]

I should probably do fo

Its not terrible

I never have bp on except for 32 because of how annoying it is

It just sucks

[white saddle]

WHAT DID I DO TO DISPLEASE YOU MY QUEEN

[gentle folio]

reroll

[quiet atlas]

you never simped for her

[white saddle]

but I diddd that's my entire thing I'm a succubus I WORK for her 😭

I accidentally chose against her once in the trial and it is my greatest shame

yes it was an accident I inputted from the wrong place

[vale sierra]

WAIT NO SWEET NECTAR IN TART IS GOOD

[white saddle]

I got exclusive access 3rd room once

and then my game crashed and I lost the run

[gentle folio]

yeah sweet nectar + exclusive access in tartarus is epic

[white saddle]

what did I do?

oh I used the word

I don't wanna type all that out again

[heady portal]

"I restarted the run because I was deadlined in the fury fight, had no cast, and everything was gone to hell basicallyyy
this time I qualify for arty lego in last tartarus shop :>"

replaced what the filter caught for you

boon discussion can go to #h1-builds-and-combat though, please mind this channel's pinned message and only upload run victories

[fallen frost]

18:010.00? Is that a glitch?

[white saddle]

oh damn you're right

it is

:0

[fallen frost]

Do you mind if I take your picture to the tech support channel? It’s not a big deal, obviously, but might as well.

[white saddle]

yes please!

[cloud ruin]

Wew

How do you even get a time like that?

[frank jay]

https://i.imgur.com/wFm23N4.jpg

one more hit from the swing would have done me in. X_X

[vale sierra]

i mean i think you had 2 hits left but yea thats scary

[frank jay]

his wide swing does 40

[cloud ruin]

Oof

Then again, you do have greater haste

So like

[gentle folio]

This was uhhh interesting.... @slate geyser

[cloud ruin]

Just walk out of the way 5head

🙃

[gentle folio]

Also perfect plus twin chunks

[slate geyser]

lol nice

[white saddle]

do you get this from playing on a wide screen?

[cloud ruin]

perfect twin shot
Yeah, that makes se-
Rama
You literally got the perfect pair of Rama hammers.

[gentle folio]

Wasn’t as bad as i thought it would be

[white saddle]

wouldn't that take literally forever to charge up

[slate geyser]

i never did get sea storm 50 because sea storm refused to ever show up. but i did get... feast rama. where the feast only showed up before fighting dad

[white saddle]

I think that's what I had last time tho

f i f t y

W o w

[cloud ruin]

Not if you Dash-Strike a lot. Rama's the bow where you basically have to do that.

[white saddle]

and you didn't even burn your SD in the Hades fight

[white saddle]

I just didn't lmao

[gentle folio]

Power shotting in rama is like a must

It does so much damage

[slate geyser]

for sure

it's not as slow as you might think after getting used to the timing compared to other bows

[cloud ruin]

Or, of course, use Rama Special and just zeus special spam your enemies to death

[frank jay]

@white saddle yeah, those side bars are from playing in 21:9 instead of 16:9

[gentle folio]

I got much better at it this run bcs i had to. 56% damage kinda sucks

The hard part of rama power shot is the timing

[cloud ruin]

^

[gentle folio]

Its so easy to get hit while doing it

[vale sierra]

epic, ||now do it 9 more times||

[white saddle]

GOOD JOB GIRL!!!!

you know what you're getting

get ready

headpats

[vale sierra]

i mean thats one way to say congrats

[white saddle]

(it's our culture)

[vale sierra]

understandable

[white saddle]

I see the flag in the back of your profile picture but I'm extremely colorblind, but I see the presentation and the cat ears so that's what I'm assuming

uwu

[white saddle]

oh wow

[dawn egret]

Vengeful mood was funny, but all it really did was proc Privileged. most of my damage was Ares Special w/ Cluster Bomb and Impeding Doom and Privileged

fun run tho.

i had no attack boon until the last floor of styx

should've taken the common zeus attack from floor 1 lmao

[white saddle]

bahahha nice

[frozen lava]

you read me like a book

[frank jay]

https://i.imgur.com/GQ01akl.jpg

4 streak, let's go

[white saddle]

I was really scared I made 90% the wrong assumptions from cues I got 😅

[white saddle]

Hey good job! :3

[gentle folio]

I was not supposed to win... FIRST 40 WOOOOO. I was so scared all of second phase because i was one shot to a pot

[white saddle]

Is that patty helping in the Hades fight :0000

[gentle folio]

Ohhhh yeahhh

[white saddle]

frickin awesome

[gentle folio]

I wouldve been screwed if not for patty

FO scary

Hades was by far the hardest part of this run

[sand hearth]

always impressed w high heat wins

[gentle folio]

ye I was shaking when I finished

[reef aurora]

Got my first two today!

[sand hearth]

way to go!!

[white saddle]

HERA WHOOOOOO

FIVE STONES

STYGIAAAN

[dawn egret]

jesus

2 chaos boons for capacity?

[white saddle]

I had to sell my crush shot in styx because of UC but Artemis had a door and two store boons in Styx and she just dumped two duos and a cast on me

[white saddle]

👍

[white saddle]

this was actually really good, I could string dooms together to get up to about 800 doom damage

[sand hearth]

[white saddle]

too bad I didn't have pressure points but

It was really good on its own

[slow gazelle]

nice

[dawn egret]

Practice run

Soon™️

[vale sierra]

lmao only green

[dawn egret]

yee

[white saddle]

:>

my first sub 16 run

not accounted for here: Smoldering Air, and Billowing Strength I'd mention Athena's Call but I kinda got it in Styx because I was forced to sell my Zeus call when I left Asphodel

but it helped a lot in the Hades fight, but couldn't carry me through any other area

[zinc lintel]

That's a lot of purple

[slow gazelle]

How does one get so much purple? Also why no dash boon?

[worn pollen]

fairly happy with this run

[mighty marlin]

this worked... surprisingly well quite honestly

[mighty marlin]

and niiiice that looks good

[empty agate]

so close to sub 20

i was halfway between chasing prophecies and going fast so i didn’t really optimize boss fights with euridyce’s keepsake

but still hope to get that sub 20 soon

[mighty marlin]

youll get it soon!

[lavish ibex]

Finally beat Extreme Measures 4! Thank you Merciful End and Aphro call

[left wren]

[languid fog]

finally got a win with every weapon

[left wren]

👏

[autumn bear]

I had to satisfy chaos' wish so i beat hades with the cosmic egg instead of my usual acorn or tooth

[left wren]

Chaos is amused

[empty agate]

i’m also uber pissed at this run since i misclicked and didn’t get world splitter because i was going too fast

the only hammer upgrade i needed for stygius prophecies

[severe jackal]

What does it mean, 5-oh

[lunar peak]

Phalanx Shot is pretty neat

[verbal oasis]

I would like to thank my drunk uncle, hunting aunt (?), sleazy uncle, and grandma.

[autumn bear]

THIS WAS ABSURD

THE DAMAGE OUTPUT WAS LUDICROUS

[winged shoal]

i have gained a healthy appreciation of the zeus shield. onwards to 32 heat with the bow and spear i suppose

[quiet atlas]

zag was fun

beside the anvil that changed my flurry fire to targeting system and spread fire... how do you play spread fire with hazard bomb smh

[novel dragon]

got the literal best chiron hangover build

didnt force any of the gods too btw, all were natural

[quiet atlas]

ez heartrend pog

funny thing is support fire dealt 3k dmg

[flat trout]

you’re pretty neat

[severe jackal]

First time Super Dad

[novel dragon]

heroic greatest reflex is good

[white saddle]

question 1: git gud
question 2: git gud

[white saddle]

I didn't even know you could get a heroic reflex whaat

is that a rare crop only thing??

[novel dragon]

eurydice

[white saddle]

I thought she couldn't hit Hermes boons

[novel dragon]

she can

[white saddle]

:0????

nice speedrun though :))))

[grave totem]

she can hit all boons except heroic and chaos boons iirc

[white saddle]

love Euridice

[grave totem]

her singing is great

just stood there and listened the first time

[white saddle]

🥺

me tooo

eeeeeee

wrong image holdon

last clear of the night

I got defiance from Chaos and it was pretty snazzy

[lavish ibex]

Got my first win with Tight Deadline 3! It was my only heat factor that run but still impressed with myself 🙂. Got a new time record too!

[white saddle]

I had less than 190 hp until styx haha which is why I have no defiances left

and I ate 80 damage of Hades Laserbeam to the face because I wasn't as behind the pillar as I thought I was

[white saddle]

heyyy nice heroic strike

that's awesome

Targeting System is underrated too

it makes Meg do over 3000 damage, it's awesome

[white saddle]

why do some of your boons have a tiny little pom symbol?? why is there a bass fish in your cast slot?!?

[quiet atlas]

its modded

[white saddle]

what does it mean :000

[quiet atlas]

tiny pom shows its a pommable boon

fish is from the mod that makes head chef give you a choice of 3 fish, so like additional boon

that fish makes your cast have a piercing aura of 100 but only 1 cast regardless of mirror choice

[white saddle]

still wanna do a huge catch run again :

but Poseidon won't hand it to me until Styx

repeatedly

[quiet atlas]

lets go em4

[winged shoal]

em4 with fo1 😰

[winged shoal]

i'm in love with this weapon

not pictured: lightning phalanx, static discharge, double strike, greatest reflex

i cant believe i've never trusted privileged status before

[novel dragon]

aspect of baj is a majestic thing tbh

i fell in love with it when i saw baj's speedruns with it

[novel dragon]

when youre trying to go for a chill achilles spear build but hermes says no

[fallen frost]

Drunk laser shenanigans:

Also, infinite ammo, Demeter Aid, etc.

And this is where I learned that Festive Fog trips Hellfire. It actually made it much more useful for me.

[novel dragon]

epic support fire on lucy is always amazing

[severe jackal]

@novel dragon

Can I ask advice on this before I delete

Chiron - Artemis keepsake

[novel dragon]

yeah thats decent

but you havent even cleared 7 heat chiron yet

how do you expect to clear 32 lol

[severe jackal]

true...?

hahaha

By hoping for the best and God mode? 😄

[novel dragon]

also you can just link screenshots in normal channels

by uploading them to something like imgur or pastebin

[severe jackal]

How is this, with God Mode

And okay, noted for future reference

[tidal juniper]

haha funny ares go doom

[winged shoal]

i gotta try that build

[novel dragon]

zeus ME is a thing btw

athena attack or special

dont even need divine dash

[winged shoal]

i think ares on special and divine dash would work better

im gonna do that

[gentle folio]

That’s a very good 32 setup

[severe jackal]

thanks

[gentle folio]

Maybe switch js and fo for bp but if you’re not comfortable it’s fine

[winged shoal]

yeah i dont know if i like this build as much

i'll stick to zeusing it up

[oblique pecan]

Low tolerance build that didn't have low tolerance lol

[severe jackal]

Hero 32 heat CANNOT DIE

[gentle folio]

Wait how is your first clear 32 @severe jackal

[winged shoal]

its probably a modded save that has every aspect on max

mmmaybe. it has 53 total clears

[novel dragon]

god mode

they used god mode

and with god mode, your other clears dont count

[winged shoal]

ah really?

that's pretty cool

[oblique pecan]

Again, aiming for a merciful end build but ended up with a crystal beam build. RNG isn't on my side today 😂

[novel dragon]

turn on god's legacy if youre going for a specific duo lol

[oblique pecan]

Yeah but in the end, I wanted more epic boons than common ones so I took god's pride

[autumn bear]

crystal beam is damn good

i best not hear anybody trash talking crystal beam

unless youre using beowulf or hera, then i can excuse it

[oblique pecan]

damn good with artemis duo

borderline weak without it tho

[cloud ruin]

Beat 16 heat!

[novel dragon]

billow with arty call is eh, but otherwise pretty decent build tbh

[cloud ruin]

i literally only got arty call because i didn't get any other calls until styx

but the fast charge of arty call does help with procing billowing strength

[vale sierra]

bruh i wish i could post my runs but i had one last night at like 4:30

am

i was up late

and like

i used achilles spear

with aphro cast

[cloud ruin]

just use f12 4head

there's also an inbuilt screenshot feature with f10 iirc

[vale sierra]

im on switch

[cloud ruin]

there's a dedicated button for it

[vale sierra]

and i got like blown kiss, parting shot, heart rend, the ares legendary, unhealhy fixation

[cloud ruin]

and you can easily transfer media from switch to pc via social media or micro sd card

[vale sierra]

and i dont have either 😎

[cloud ruin]

turns out there's a wireless way as well

https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/53138/~/how-to-transfer-screenshots-and-video-captures-to-a-smart-device-wirelessly

[somber coyote]

very sadge couldn't get ares x zeus

[violet bloom]

16 heat run

[lunar peak]

My Highest Heat Run Yet!

[fierce spire]

That’s great!!

First sub 20! I'm finally getting faster

[lunar peak]

Nice Man!

[lunar peak]

Nice Job! I'm On Switch Too👍

[cinder crescent]

I Just cleared the credits! how much postgame content does hades have?

[fallen frost]

Plenty. I’ve done twice as many runs after the credits as before, and I’ll still be going for a while.

[outer junco]

This might sound dumb but i'm pretty new to Hades and was wondering how you get those various frames for the victory screen

[elder heath]

Buy them from the contractor. At one point he gives you cosmetics

[crisp sigil]

Not the prettiest victory but my first successful clear.

[rain ruin]

Well done!

[fallen frost]

Nice!

[white saddle]

is the princely theme the default one??

[candid tendon]

Finally did it !

[cloud ruin]

yeah

[eternal gust]

Good job!!!

[limpid iris]

Was constantly stuck on 15 mins, tried demeter fists and nearly immediately bested my record

Pretty fun weapon too

I know i can knock down the time by at least 0.5-1 minute too

[white saddle]

:0000

woah!! good job!!

[limpid iris]

Yooo thank you

[white saddle]

here's mine... gonna try again..,, gotta go.,, faster

pEW PEW PEW EPW

[limpid iris]

Hey thats pretty nice!

To be honest, it felt pretty liberating to get past that 15 min wall

[white saddle]

I'm still only at sub 16 gang

botta go *speeed

[limpid iris]

Id give suggestions but i dont use hestia so am not entirely sure, though you might prefer a different keepsake

[white saddle]

I still haven't unlocked being able to use meg in the Hades fight

[limpid iris]

I still havent unlocked meg period

Im stuck trying to time thanatos'

[white saddle]

you gots to **** to get Meg

[limpid iris]

Still a good solution but yeah

[white saddle]

😎

[limpid iris]

Yes but she isnt willing

[white saddle]

consent is very important

wait until she's ready I suppose

or look it up

I've gotten the heart prompt in the lounge before

my poor gay heart was not ready

just killed myself on a line of traps because Aphrodite was only handing me common attacks after all my rolls

ayyyy it happened again

after such a teasing prompt too

what did I dooo goddess

I move to #h1-builds-and-combat now

[tight adder]

poseidon rocket spam is my favorite build

[white saddle]

wrong one

here :>

I beated my time from yesterday but still no sub 15

[vale sierra]

damn just havent touched the other 3 weaposn

[white saddle]

I was church of stygius for my first 23 clears
1st clear, heat 1-20 for bounties, then 32 heat clear, total 23

[vale sierra]

oh nice

yea i have that sort of dedicatin for bow

[white saddle]

it was painful, to hell with high heat stygius

[vale sierra]

yea, high heat bow isnt as bad as high heat anything physical

[white saddle]

I didn't realize how bad it.. sucked until I went ham with the bow

[vale sierra]

yeaaa

i mean like tbh

i enjoy sword

feels great

but in terms of me just having tastes i like bow

like i started a new file and ive been using like only sword

[white saddle]

Hera is the funnest but the hardest to come online with imo

Chiron isn't as good as it feels

except with poison/doom stacking builds hell yeah

[vale sierra]

hehe yea im not the only one that likes doom on chiron

like i get the appeal of heart rend, i just like dire misfortune more

[white saddle]

you don't feel what you're doing with heart rend imo

I mean yeah it's statistically good but like you're not really feeling it

unless you stack chaos damage on there

then you'll see 300 crits and stuff

[vale sierra]

but like

1k doom

thats a trip

[white saddle]

I KNOWW RIGHT

It's awesomeee

But Ares won't give me a dire misfortune before last shop elysium, and then it's common

[vale sierra]

hehe lmao

pos on special is nice too

funny to just bully bosses

[white saddle]

#h1-builds-and-combat :>

[vale sierra]

ye

[crisp sigil]

First time I used it definitely was a fun one

[frigid bay]

so much bonus cast damage, but no bonus casts

insane boss damage but really struggled in rooms

[cosmic kernel]

I present to you all one of the broken runs I've ever had

[novel dragon]

Hera slicing shot?

I thought that didnt work that well

Huh

[winged shoal]

heroic divine dash

grats on the heat pb

[wind temple]

For @jade rock -- Thank you for being our most treasured Orpheus, and for giving us the fruits of your talented labors. <3

(also, ty for answering my question about tuning on twitter!! :3)

[white saddle]

I was about to type "I dedicate this run to Nyaanyaa" again but I realized that's against the rulless so.....

I dedicate this run to my best friend Jupiter :)
Sadly they're not on the server but that won't stop me from pinging them
@young parrot uwu love u ❤️ ❤️

first sub 15!! I mercilessly beat the boons I wanted out of Chaos

[gentle folio]

Against the rules?

[white saddle]

wait what???

OH THAT

you can't dedicate to the same person twice

I did a 32 heat Chiron in my nyaanyaa simping quest

[brave fulcrum]

GL on your quest I guess

[grave totem]

You can still dedicate it to her in spirit

[white saddle]

@lime bane I can't offer you my runs but I can offer you my heart

[gentle folio]

Oh ok

Lol

[brave fulcrum]

did someone order a mozzarella? cause that sounds cheesy

[gentle folio]

Why

Just why

[brave fulcrum]

cause why the heck not

[gentle folio]

No

[brave fulcrum]

you gave me an idea

[gentle folio]

Why

[brave fulcrum]

[gentle folio]

Time for 33 heat seastorm

[white saddle]

oh my gods nyaanyaa

i-impressive

but seriously nice job!!

[lime bane]

Thanks!

[languid fog]

new record yay

[brave fulcrum]

flurry jab ftw

[winged shoal]

poseidon. good

[zinc lintel]

This is a victory right

[white saddle]

as far as I'm concerned surviving past meg is a victory on 32 heat

good job Unova :>

[zinc lintel]

Danke

[elfin goblet]

dipped my toes in speed running today... this is good right?

[white saddle]

sub 14!?!? 13 minutes, wow yes!!

that's amazing!

[elfin goblet]

lmao

thank you

[grave totem]

Thats pretty good yeah

You'll get even faster the more you play

[gentle folio]

If that was your very first speedrunning attempt👏

Very impressive

[grave totem]

Took me a long time to get a sub 10 so you'll def get faster

[gentle folio]

^^^

At first i thought it would be impossible

[elfin goblet]

not really my first attempt. turns out speed running is both very stressful and very frustrating lmao

ive been playing like all day trying to do it but ig i got lucky lmao

[gentle folio]

Nice

[grave totem]

It can def be frustrating trying to get that one run where you get all the good boons and rng

But when you do the payoff is great

[elfin goblet]

yes

if only i got zeus legendary

[gentle folio]

For less rng dependent runs use eris

[elfin goblet]

yeah ive grown to really like using eris

[white saddle]

Chiron Doom run kills it again hehe :>

I got 5 sacked tho -,D,-

[grave totem]

That sucks

[white saddle]

but it still carried me through quickly 😌

[autumn bear]

oh this was fun alright. I finally found these two legendaries ive been chasing forever

[white saddle]

Hey that's awesome >:D

[fair gate]

dedicating this run to @gentle folio and @lime bane so thankful to ya'll for teaching me how to build rama

[gentle folio]

Well then 35 heat time

Oof

But ❤️

[fair gate]

i believe in you

take back your record

teach us dirty usurpers

[autumn bear]

that username is a mouthful

[compact needle]

the spikes was broken, and pls see my life, MY FCKN HEART!

[novel dragon]

1 health left oof

also thats weird heat setup there

[winged shoal]

why is the name of the boon and the level number so weirdly kerned here

[novel dragon]

you should take extreme measures, the one which makes bosses harder. it isnt too difficult. hard labor can be a bad pact to start with

[winged shoal]

it's like there's no space between them

[novel dragon]

translation stuff probs

[winged shoal]

ya ik

but imo it should be better

[winged shoal]

grats though

[brave fulcrum]

this was fun

[white saddle]

[slate geyser]

50 heat poseidon sword!

[winged shoal]

woo poseidon!

[slate geyser]

and 50 heat beo

[winged shoal]

i've never thought about phalanx on poseidon, that's really good esp with lightning

thanks for the indirect suggestion

[white saddle]

This has given me the idea for a doom special athena attack merciful end Chiron run

Stacking doom

[brave fulcrum]

I've tried that

rama is better for the job imo

since you don't necessarily need to lock onto a target

[grave totem]

50 heat only tail? Thought you were better than that smh /j

[gentle folio]

Lmao

[brave fulcrum]

it's commendable

but

we expect more

[heavy mulch]

First em4 run without a single dd used

athena + zeus + artemis is insane

support fire arrows were flying everywhere, splitting bolt would proc an insane amount with ricochet fire and storm lightning, and phalanx would bounce between enemies

At one point there were 3 doomstones clumped together, shooting near them made storm lightning the only thing I could hear with their fragments

[brave fulcrum]

satisfying right?

the sound they make when they die?

I sound like a psycho

[zinc lintel]

Well I tried 32 heat speedrunning and uh

This is a good start I guess

[brave fulcrum]

that's a really good start

[zinc lintel]

I need to get better at not needing Athena crutches if I'm gonna get good times tho

Run would have ate complete ass if not for Last Stand in Styx

oh and that was a 3 sack

[brave fulcrum]

you would benefit a lot with tidal dash

yea

[zinc lintel]

Eris is cool cause with Athena Dash I can just turn my brain off and mash the hell out of my space bar m1 and m2, occasionally reload (optional) and profit

[brave fulcrum]

they can't attack you if they die

classic tactic

[midnight compass]

Thank You Hermes

[winged shoal]

...

[grave totem]

That sucks

[brave fulcrum]

welp

[winged shoal]

shouldnt have taken that trial boon when there's a shop right there

[lime bane]

You'll get it another time. It's fine. It was still good practice and a very good time.

[winged shoal]

thank you... it's also pretty dumb of me to not use lightning rod in the hades fight lol

[main frost]

Had an insane run today

Aspect of hera + fully loaded is so dang good

[winged shoal]

5 hera casts 😳

this was... slow.

didnt even beat theseus until 10 minutes in

didnt get much luck with boons

[novel dragon]

didn't get much luck with boons
has 4 heroic boons

[winged shoal]

i mean number of boons

rare crop was a clutch at late elysium

thank you demmy

[novel dragon]

32 heat easy lol

[grave totem]

anything is easy with eris

[white saddle]

Eris felt really bad for me tbh

It just wasn't comfortable at all

Neither was Lucifer or Zag

Hestia just feels so good and I love the rhythm it creates

[elfin goblet]

hestia is one of my favorite aspects

it feels good doing thousands of damage

[fading raven]

Rama op

[fallen frost]

Went through seven Death Defiances. I thought I would try Stygian with anything but Arthur. I was wrong, I guess.

Only got one hammer, traded it at Styx for Flurry Slash and Hoarding Slash that gave me a big 1.25% Attack increase.

[glad drift]

Really good Crush Shot run.

[fading raven]

Beowulf op

[shut ruin]

no scint feast 😔

[fading raven]

What feast?

[winged shoal]

zeus/dio duo

[brave fulcrum]

dio+zeus dio

[fading raven]

Oh

This boon that does lightning damage in clouds?

[brave fulcrum]

yes

[fading raven]

Hmmm

Still op

2K damage at full charged attack

[fierce spire]

this run was fine I suppose, mainly collected Artemis boons lol

[gentle folio]

That cursed smile

[fallen frost]

There are creepier smiles in this game.

[fierce spire]

such as Than's

that blursed symmetrical smile

[gentle folio]

Nah i was talking abou it in this context

Its kinda cursed

[fallen frost]

That’s fair.

First time trying Hestia. Beat my best rail time by over 4 minutes. This is WILD.

[fierce spire]

nicee!!

[brave fulcrum]

now that's what I call full package

[quiet atlas]

what a luck

sea storm and billowing too

[brave fulcrum]

I recorded my fight with dad

don't think I can put it here since it might be over 8 mb

[quiet atlas]

there's always youtube

[fallen frost]

Run #100 down. I just barely made my goal of 60 wins in 100 runs.

[fading raven]

You know what I would say

[tranquil sun]

50 heat Lucifer! All these runs and resets made me lose some brain cells, this is madness. I don't think I can achieve another 50 heat run with the insane luck I had with rooms and AP1 not denying the boons I want.

[stiff notch]

Boonless GY run

[static lion]

After trying half the day I finally managed to get sub 8 🥳

[gentle folio]

Seastorm rama but no seastorm @lime bane and @fair gate

[fallen frost]

Beat my overall best time by a minute. Hopefully sub 15 soon.

[lunar peak]

Been a few days, was a GREAT run

[weary forge]

got this fun dirty build with point blank Q doing 1.3k damage

[gentle folio]

Sword 32 done!!! 1 more left

[somber coyote]

good luck fisting!

[gentle folio]

Thx

I’ve only have tried fists once at 32 and timed out at the heroes

So I’ll have to try a few more times

[cloud ruin]

Man, I'm trying 32 heat Fists rn and it is no joke.

You need lots of health to make up for the fact you are in such close quarters and to maximize your SD healing

It's both the most stressful and the most exhilarating experience I have had in this game.

[real grove]

destroying him with the last chance!

[cloud ruin]

Damn

Kill Hades with his own weapon

[autumn bear]

I finally tried out a mainly aphro build

[burnt lantern]

"I'm gonna beat you with the power of love!

And this sword I pulled out of a rock!"

[strange token]

53 heat zeus shield... literally got saved by aphrodite's call iframes

[grave totem]

Nice

[shut ruin]

well this build was quite something, woulda been nice to get chain skewer so i can finally not worry about the fated list but it was a fun run

[burnt lantern]

Boonless run complet-o

I finally figured out how to avoid having to get a boon in styx

Also I beat up hades with his own beyblade

[jovial kayak]

:0 without using up any of ur dds either?

nice

[winged shoal]

massive quick spin hades

such good hammers

[burnt lantern]

I somehow managed to not lose my dd despite coming really close with learnie and theseus

I accidentally set off theseus' second phase with asterius still alive,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[mild scroll]

first 32 heat baybeeeeee

[burnt lantern]

congrats!!!

[gentle folio]

Niceee

[zinc lintel]

Pog!

[atomic plume]

let it rip

[winged shoal]

i was a glass cannon throughout

i wish i'd gone a bit faster but it was still fun

[eternal gust]

a bit faster???

[winged shoal]

i went 9 heat because i wanted to beat my time pb

[brave fulcrum]

This was fun

[shut ruin]

is that even a cast build?

[brave fulcrum]

yes

and no

yesn't

[eternal gust]

I didn’t creenshor it, but I got my first shield win w/ Zeus shield :)

[brave fulcrum]

ah yes, beyblade shield

beyshield

[eternal gust]

It’s way easier on first blood then Chaos was

[novel dragon]

1 blood chaos shield sucks lol

[brave fulcrum]

Zag shield > current Chaos shield

[fair gate]

wow so much slander against my boy chaos shield

it does suck with 1 blood tho lol

[shut ruin]

unlike beowulf

beowulf doesn't care for titan blood 💪

[barren vessel]

chaos shield still sucks with 5 titans blood send tweet

[fair gate]

depends on your definition of “sucks”

it’s the safest aspect in the game

it sucks at dealing damage

depends on your perspective

[barren vessel]

my perspective is the correct one and it says that chaos shield stinky

[fair gate]

lol

i mean, pretty understandable ngl

[oblique pecan]

Chaos shield is pretty OP with Dio or ares on special

[quiet atlas]

i bless the lightning down in hades

[burnt lantern]

"Made friends along the way"

Sure looks like it

[winged shoal]

made friends along the way actually refers to the npc rooms, not the boons

which is kinda weird

[quiet atlas]

yea seeing all 3 npcs rooms

[burnt lantern]

Ah ok

[quiet atlas]

which i will always take over other rooms

[burnt lantern]

That's kinda cute tbh

I always take npc rooms because I like the characters

[quiet atlas]

also i just upgraded all aspects to lvl 5 thanks dad

[burnt lantern]

Also you can talk to a rock and zi think that's just swell

[winged shoal]

i always take npc rooms to save time lol

[burnt lantern]

I would normally do the opposite because zagreus wakes up and chooses violence, but the characters are all neato

[fallen frost]

I’m still trying to get the little text at the end for shutting out Thanatos. Hasn’t happened, but I’ve gotten close.

[elder heath]

i tried doing something wiith this

no luck with dem

good damage though

[violet bloom]

talos is good

[frigid bay]

92 runs, 60 clears. another sub 13 :)

[hardy widget]

I was wondering if there was special dialogue for that. I had a 34-1 attempt once and I was pissed Than beat me to one.

[gentle folio]

I have never gotten anything for not letting thanatos get any kills

[fallen frost]

Allegedly, it shows up on the victory screen.

[gentle folio]

huh

I was speedrunning I think when I did that so hermes would be jealous probably came first

[fallen frost]

It’s so variable. Probably the best chance is in a small room in Tartarus with some crowd control boons/Specials.

[flat trout]

@livid radish here you go, happy valentines day <3 eternal rose start, js3 chiron, no special

[solar wind]

6th go at Hades himself, i finally managed not to play like an idiot.

[cosmic kernel]

What's the best way to melt Hades? Ice apparently.

[gentle folio]

Been a goal of mine to get all weapons 32 and just got fists today and it feels really good. The entire hades fight was just me abusing i-frames. All weapons 40 now...?

[cloud ruin]

I DID IT!!!! MY FIRST 32 HEAT RUN!!!!!!

[burnt lantern]

Congrats!

[cloud ruin]

If I got a run as good as this it'd easily be a PB

[winged shoal]

yummy deadly reversal

[cloud ruin]

ME + DR = mwah

Best part is, I recorded the entire thing!

I'm uploading the footage now and it'll be posted here in like

30 minutes

[gentle folio]

I literally went into elysium with no attack boon and was considering resetting. I’m glad i didn’t 🙂

[cloud ruin]

hestia

went into elysium with no attack boon

[barren vessel]

look at the pact

ap2

at 40 heat

[gentle folio]

yes

ik

[cloud ruin]

you're a bold one

[gentle folio]

Well it worked out

Hazard bomb carried through elysium

Also somehow got deadly reversal

Like how

[cloud ruin]

here's my run

[gentle folio]

Nice

I wish i could record

[cloud ruin]

windows can actually record games natively

win+g

wait

I just realized I did the entire 32 heat Hades fight completely hitless

of course the acorn took all the blows

but i didn't lose a single health point to Hades

[gentle folio]

I’m on switch 😦

I can’t even be on the actual leaderboards for high heat

[cloud ruin]

get a capture card 5head

[gentle folio]

I guess

[cloud ruin]

(in all seriousness though if you want to get on leaderboards then there are plenty of options out there)

[gentle folio]

I’m not anywhere close but just yeah

[lavish ibex]

First 32 heat victory!

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/326960641124335626/813578108404891668/unknown.png

[cloud ruin]

Yay! Welcome to the club!

[fair gate]

congrats Bacchus!

[gentle folio]

Nice

Next you know it it’s going to be 32 heat all weapons

And then 40

👍

[livid radish]

Video's up. Current WR Chiron 51 heat. Didn't get the death screen from the previous run as this was my first run of the day, and I thought there was a 100% chance of me losing. Take that, me.

This run is dedicated to @flat trout, who inspired me with his unwavering faith in the power and potential of this aspect.

https://imgur.com/a/P6QRTg9

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFSDaZEXiOc&feature=youtu.be

[flat trout]

this is proof ledger is good because chiron is bad

ledger = 60 heat chiron = -9 heat weapon

[shut ruin]

stronger than heart rend?

i wasn't so sure if this was gonna work out on td3 but i got both duos in asphodel and i just breezed through

if i at least went for the miniboss tunnel in styx first i could have potentially gotten sub 13 but i'm no speedrunner and this is a decent enough time lmao

[lavish ibex]

That’s what I’m hoping to aim for, 32 all weapons, I’m really glad you have faith in me! Glad I joined this server 🙂

[hearty surge]

ooh my new fastest time by over a minute

[drowsy vault]

finally got my first 32 heat finished!

big relief

[vale sierra]

i-

thats borderline boonless

how the hell

[drowsy vault]

i got god tier hammers

perfect shot and twin shot

[vale sierra]

oh yea thats amazing

and arte attack

yea i can see now

[drowsy vault]

yep!

[vale sierra]

but still, im very impressed, only 6 boons 0_0

[drowsy vault]

only thing i would have liked is bonus DD health from athena

thanks! haha

turns out i didnt need the DD for hades anyway

also just realized i dont think i used meg in the fight either

i was just so focused on not dying because ive died to him on 32 before

[vale sierra]

0_0, you are so much better than i might ever be tbh

and ive been playing since early access

[drowsy vault]

nahh, just takes practice, you can do it too!

[drowsy vault]

just realized theres a steam achievement for getting skelly's second prize, but not third

i feel robbed

[vale sierra]

lmao

[heady portal]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1145360/discussions/0/2841165820084105169/#c2841165820084191302

[drowsy vault]

makes sense that they arent big fans of achievements, but comparing completing 32 heat to completing 50 with every weapon is a little ridiculous

cant think of many people aside from tailesque who would even have that

also since its rewarded in the game, youd just sort of assume that there would be an achievement for it, but i do understand their reasoning for it

[midnight compass]

this was a fun crit/blade rift build :o) almost didnt make it tho

[midnight compass]

good lord! nice work!! chiron is my fave bow aspect

[brave fulcrum]

that build looks... confused

[midnight compass]

im always confused

[shut ruin]

is it a generic zag bow build or is it a hunting blades cast build

make up your mind

[muted narwhal]

Qhat a coincidence

Just finished a crit/blade rift build too

[brave fulcrum]

No twin shot

Sed

[shut ruin]

triple shot + point-blank

empty inside heart rend

deadly strike

[white saddle]

I've done at least 8 chiron clears (actually using the special) and not once have I gotten relentless volley, here it is this time

[novel dragon]

fun stuff, i get concentrated and relentless literally every chiron run i do

out of like 15 runs with it, only about 3 or 4 will not have relentless concentrated

[white saddle]

you little-

gimme my luck back

[grave totem]

Mine now

[brave fulcrum]

I got both on my very first 32 heat

thus why I succeeded

[rugged cypress]

Finally got my first 32 heat!

Thought I would die from having ran out of time.

[gentle folio]

That is a very interesting pact

[winged shoal]

js2 with td3 😳

[zinc lintel]

HL0 and LC1 at 32 heat

[livid radish]

I don't think there's an issue with HL0 at 32

[gentle folio]

I cant really say anything bcs my first 32 pact setup was JS2 and CP2

So do whatever

[livid radish]

I do that all the time (or at least HL1 with hell mode)

[zinc lintel]

I just can't imagine taking BP2 over extra HL or LC4

Although I've never really touched BP2 cause it scares me too much so

[gentle folio]

I have Bp2 on for all my 32 because i dont want to deal with fo2

[livid radish]

I pulled the bandaid off and started early with BP2 FO2 because it takes a ton of time to learn

(you die a lot, I fully understand not doing this)

[gentle folio]

I have fo2 for 20 ish heat and I could probably do it at 32 but I dont really want to

I do have it on for 40

[zinc lintel]

I turned on fo2 to get used to the timing more

I think I used it for my 20 heats

[livid radish]

Yeah, for instance, the timing behind dodging FO2 Speeder enemies is very unique, and always scary

Gets less scary each time though, by a bit

[zinc lintel]

fo2 speeder firewheels

[livid radish]

Doesn't stop me from facetanking offscreen FO2 Speeder Louts each time, but hey

I like speeder flamewheels, they run into obstacles a lot quicker lol

You get used to kiting them between barriers/water features

[gentle folio]

The only thing that I dont like about Fo2 is asterius and hades

everything else I can dodge and avoid

[livid radish]

FO2 Asterius is big game, for sure

[gentle folio]

hades I can still dodge his spins and attacks

But asterius

I just cant

[livid radish]

I'm actively bad at Dad now if it's not FO2 lol. I see the spin animation, muscle memory kicks in, I dash, and then get hit by the sweep

Ever. Tim.

[gentle folio]

Lol

[zinc lintel]

I turned off FO2 once and Asterius felt so slow

[gentle folio]

Thats why I dont have it on at 32

If I dont have to do it why do it

But at 40 I do because I have to

[livid radish]

Superdad is different. FO2 EM4 is obscene

[gentle folio]

Im doing a super dad run later today

em4 fo2 hl5 cp2

Its going to be interesting

[frigid bay]

we heard you liked duo boons so we put duo boons in your duo boons

[cerulean hinge]

not enough duo boons. smh

i’m calling the manager about the distinct lack of duo boons

[potent crescent]

just got my first 40

[livid radish]

Nice 🙂

[gentle folio]

yayy

Thats a very interesting pact tho

Like very interesting

Ridiculous Hat (@RidiculousHat)

hestia done

Twitter · Feb 23, 2021, 6:04 AM

[slate geyser]

hat this is ridiculous

you are simply a ridiculous hat

[gentle folio]

is that seastorm with hestia

[slate geyser]

the meme disease spreads

[gentle folio]

yass

Keep it going

[barren vessel]

LOL

this is glorious

[gentle folio]

Its time for seastorm arthur now

brb guys

[fickle knot]

Pay no attention to the epic jolted, or the hyper delivery, or the level 3 billow

It was 100% sea storm ricochet fire hestia

[gentle folio]

Definitely had nothing to do with it

totally

yup

[fickle knot]

That big bullet went boop boop

Hit two things!

[gentle folio]

wow

[fickle knot]

That's twice as good as one boop

That's just math

[acoustic crypt]

thanks to the people in #h1-builds-and-combat I was finally able to take down Hades after 60 hours! My build at the end was definitely pretty absurd.

[gentle folio]

grats!!!

[cobalt blade]

I've only beaten EM4 FO1 twice and the one time it was because I had near 50% dodge, the other I had more than 500 health

he still kills me sometimes with only FO1.

[white saddle]

20 heat FO2 EM4 because f*ck it

also I just realized

the Billowing Strength icon looks a lot like the Jotaro vs. Dio scene

Zagreus is approaching

[solar wind]

uhm, i'm bad enough at Rail to miss the deadline in Tartarus, but Cluster Bomb and Epic Athena kinda overwrote the whole rail thing for me.

[white saddle]

you survived almost 30 seconds after the deadline, damn nice

[calm quail]

I was excited to post in this channel but didn't realize I was supposed to snap the victory screens and that the administrative room didn't show the same thing...now I'm sad. I guess I will remember from now on. Clears #1 and #2 was a streak and now I'm on a losing 3. lol

[violet bloom]

haha zero boons

hangover damage is insane

[cobalt blade]

With the crystal beam and killing freeze I was doing 816 damage per second to Hades

I had rush delivery so all damage is +40% ravenous will +30

the magnetic cutter gives +50% to cast

and glacial glare applied chill (and killing freeze)

oh and I had a 4th stone

like you can really use crystal beam against Hades even without crystal clarity

[thorny wraith]

First Hestia run and only lost one dd to the champions! Bit slow to use but that was fun.

[gentle folio]

Pretty epic GY run

Did zero heat to see how much pierced butterfly i could get

[ember igloo]

The bow that will pierce the heavens! Or 32 heat in 12:30 anyway

[barren vessel]

twin point blank

poggers

[ember igloo]

Every shot is a critical

And it does DAMAGE

[smoky jackal]

Can bosses mark themselves if no other enemies are present? If they can, I've really been sleeping on Hunter's Mark

[ember igloo]

No, but there's often something Markable

Like the skulls or the bozo in a chariot

[weary glen]

For that reason, it can actually be a good idea to ||keep Hades' summons alive to rack up Marks||

[teal hare]

gotta love the claw ❤️

[cloud ruin]

Gilgamesh is so underrated

It's just a shame Demeter Fists outclass them so hard

[vale sierra]

WAIT WHAT THE HELL MAIM CAPS AT 400!!

i didnt know thats where it caps

thats kinda scary

[cosmic maple]

First time sub 20 with Eris! If I can do it, anyone can.

[gentle folio]

The sweatiest fight I’ve ever done. 40 HEAT SPEAR DONE

[cloud ruin]

40 heat guan yu

You're a bold one

[gentle folio]

It was scary

The hades fight

[gentle folio]

It felt like the easiest spear

[cloud ruin]

It probably is

Since it's the easiest weapon for healing

[cosmic maple]

How much healing did you leverage out of that run?

[gentle folio]

Wdym

I used the spin when enemies spawn

[cosmic maple]

Yea that's what I meant, so like in most chambers more or less

[gentle folio]

Idk like 10 health

[cosmic maple]

I forget about the special when I use it too often

[gentle folio]

The special is like really good

That’s what carries guan yu

[cosmic maple]

I mean I don't use it too often

Yea, um maybe I should use it even when I'm not that low to not forget

[cloud ruin]

What is it with Spears and having the Special carry them hard?

[gentle folio]

The optimal thing to do is special and the two dash attacks

And then repeat

[tranquil sun]

I wanted to do 40 heat Arthur another time for the memes, then got cursed. No patty, got 4 sacked, timed out at Hades.

[weak anchor]

I need to make this happen

[snow coral]

im so sad i didnt get merciful end but i didnt use any death defiance anyway because the fight really wasnt very hard without extreme measures

i had 15% dodge chance with the aspect and another 15% with hermes so i was able to make a lot of mistakes lol

but come on man level 10 heroic curse of agony and divine dash (and divine flourish which is required for the duo) but no merciful end :(

[gentle folio]

F

[frozen lava]

4 winstreak, increasing heat by one each time. latest run was 5 heat, we'll keep on going

[ionic nimbus]

first sub 15 minute run! a personal goal of mine, cant wait to start getting faster

[gentle folio]

Put on fo2 to go faster @ionic nimbus

Enemies spawn faster👍

[ionic nimbus]

im workin my way up to FO, everytime ive put it on ive died. altho im probably ready for it with rail/fists

[gentle folio]

Yeah

Go for it!

[ionic nimbus]

thank you 😸

[gentle folio]

Also consider removing tight deadline

It makes survival rooms go away

[winged shoal]

@vale sierra first 32 heat on bow with chiron + zeus special (it sucks)

if you don't remember, you mentioned zeus special didnt work that well on chiron

and it doesnt.

i only got lucky with my boons this time

[brave fulcrum]

yep

there's cool down for zeus on chiron

[winged shoal]

other things of note during this run: pp, support fire, point blank + triple + chain shot, double strike and high voltage

i melted through daddo

[winged shoal]

ahh i see

the early scint feast really helped me a ton with meg

onwards towards 32 heat spear!

[gentle folio]

Nice!!

[vale sierra]

oh damn, you got good ass boons tho

[winged shoal]

looking in the records, it took me 11 consecutive tries with this chiron-zeus special thing

[vale sierra]

yea its not a great setup, the cooldown for the bolts is too slow for chiron to work with it

[winged shoal]

thanks uncles and aunties up in olympus

[vale sierra]

hehe yea

[solar wigeon]

After 64 attempts, finally beat 32 heat.

Not even 4 boons on the victory screen lol It was all on Lightning Rod ⚡

[fickle knot]

Fifth weapon down!

[novel dragon]

technically a no-hit dad fight with zag bow

[dim prairie]

my fastest run yet, and i was zoning out

[smoky jackal]

Flurry jab with Zeus attack? Nice

[hollow ferry]

I’ve reached a very important milestone teehee

[novel dragon]

i thought 10 heat was the milestone

but then i realized

[drowsy vault]

Finally got sub10

Even after the 3 sack

[novel dragon]

woah, congrats

[drowsy vault]

Tyty

[river dagger]

imagine if i had an actual build

[winged shoal]

you really like fists huh

[river dagger]

lmfao

[winged shoal]

long knuckle with divine strike isnt too bad of a build especially with no heat

you can just stay back and deflect everyone

[river dagger]

yeah but i couldve had a higher rarity divine strike or aphrodite's version for the weakness, and artemis' +60% dash strike damage

[winged shoal]

true2

[clever pendant]

traded an early divine strike for heroic curse of agony, and managed to rare crop a divine flourish. This is filthy good. Two seconds over my previous best clear time, and I even decided to hop back into the satyr chambers one time to grab enough money for a diamond.

[solemn pine]

I FINALLY BEAT HIM

I would like to thank @winged shoal for enlightening me on how broken zeus special zeus aspect shield is

[novel dragon]

your first clear and that too with aspect of baj

congrats

[fallen frost]

The first of many, indeed! Congratulations!

[solemn pine]

thanks

[winged shoal]

woo!

i love zeus on zeus so much

it's a shame that you don't have any t2 zeus boons but congratulations nonetheless!

[solemn pine]

thanks man

[livid radish]

Wow, first clear on Zeus aspect. Nice.

[solemn pine]

thanks

[gentle folio]

Correction- Baj aspect

[autumn bear]

yeah no **** sherlock thats amazing

[polar moth]

there is no meme
die

[oblique pecan]

1st attempt at a one shot Hera build

[hardy coyote]

pb...first sub 15

[drowsy vault]

Grats! And not even fully upgraded eris, thats pretty darn good

@solemn pine You should try out Athena special with Ares attack. Try and get the merciless end duo boon, you'll SHRED bosses

[calm quail]

didn't think I'd make it, a lot of work done hiding behind the rocks just lobbing specials (which also inflicted Weak)

[cloud ruin]

Tip for you: Rail typically does better with Backstab

[gentle folio]

I think fiery is better

Special does mad damage

[calm quail]

was just going for the fated list clears, hah

agreed though

[strange token]

53 heat zag shield!

[lavish ibex]

First victory with Forced Overtime 2

[quiet atlas]

so daring to take that anvil eh 😂

anyways goodjob mate

[solemn pine]

i'll try it out in my next run then. thanks!

[hardy coyote]

another pb for the night

[teal hare]

excalibur hits pretty hard 🤔

[gentle folio]

No special or dash boons👀

[fair gate]

hoarding slash coming in clutch with an extra +1.9% damage there

[gentle folio]

Lmao

[cloud ruin]

ERIS BEATEN ON 32 HEAT

Scint Feast and Lightning Rod? good stuff

[winged shoal]

good boons

[cloud ruin]

yeah, decided not to even try with Sea Storm
