[green goblet]

First attempt at Zues ME and got a PR with 14:36! Didn't even have great supporting boons. What a nutso combo

[inner plover]

For like one burst every 40 years on a boss perhaps lol

[solar wind]

Mirror is scam.

[violet bloom]

Nice

[lime bane]

This build was ridiculous. I don't think I've ever built god gauge that fast on sword.

[hollow jacinth]

Retrash build

How much base damage was the call doing?

[lime bane]

120ish?

People could learn a lot from Retrash's builds if they weren't so biased.

[hollow jacinth]

I think this build would have benefited a lot from sweet nectar, unironically. Loads of pom targets

And who needs Athena anyway

[lime bane]

Proud Bearing did a ton of work. I got that in Tartarus.

First boon I took from her.

[twin karma]

Heart rend Nem with Arty special and aphro attack

It’s a good build just backwards

[hollow jacinth]

Aphro attack is still really solid, still a lot of damage

But that dash strike chaos would have been a lot more beneficial for deadly strike

And epic RD

[lime bane]

Order barely matters tbh.

[open onyx]

Hey all, I'm sure this is often asked but ||has sgg said anything about the post credits deaths and if they'd ever patch it so we can skip the early access thing and get to return to the garden ||

||I miss the green and the serenity but playing all over again just to get that again is exhausting||

[sweet radish]

oh that would be nice

[open onyx]

Right?? I've seen people on reddit suggesting a mini farming sim but that might be too much, post release imo

[sweet radish]

probably too much

[open onyx]

sigh

[sweet radish]

just kinda going over there and listening to narrator talk about 1 or two things before death

[lime bane]

That discussion is better suited to #h1-discussion. This channel is for sharing victory screens and 100% achievements.

[light bough]

fastest time with aegis yet~

• got a 30% butterfly for the 1st time~

[sweet radish]

Finally finished 40 heat on Hestia! Didn't even need the Athena dd, though only by a sliver.

[violet bloom]

Nice

[light bough]

Nice

still trying the summer challenge, still didnt get it

[ember moon]

Somehow, even though i killed asterius and theseus with only dashes

i got a new spear PB

[violet bloom]

Nice

[near glade]

Arthur at 40 Heat! Only Guan Yu left. I started Epic Aphro Attack but just kept seeing Poseidon (Sweet Nectar in Tartarus)

[mystic wren]

Poseidon's Boons are so fun.

[twin karma]

Was practicing high heat EM4. Got three sacked out of my touch of Styx I got from an Ely well but I had an Athena DD so I could make it. Got carried by clockets though. Also tried divine dash over splash which worked pretty well but I’ll have to see how it goes with JS3 TD3

[sonic lagoon]

Trippy shot at it's best!

[winged fiber]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858481768271970304/868023625884794900/Screenshot_121.png

crit build

[lime bane]

Sick Cast build.

[hollow jacinth]

Nice

[lime bane]

Look at all the poms in that Cast build, too.

[hollow jacinth]

I should really try heavy knuckle some time

Never used it because everyone (well, haelian) says it's bad

[lime bane]

It was bad when they introduced it, but I quite like where it's at now. It allows for a better variety of builds.

[hollow jacinth]

That's a lot of duos for god's pride

[lime bane]

And Fully Loaded as her third boon.

And an Elysium Erebus win.

[ember moon]

Hera is so fun

Easy EM4 win

[tight fulcrum]

yes

hera is best

[dim citrus]

First EM4 win

[real heron]

Yeah!

[void prairie]

aphrodite for the win

[inner plover]

Flurry and serrated together kinda ruin each other

[void prairie]

ik

[inner plover]

Just picking one will serve you better

[void prairie]

i didnt really have a chioice

i used serrated mostly

[sweet radish]

Classic ME build but without the ME ... Or athena special

[slate geyser]

55 heat hades spear

[hollow jacinth]

What are the chances of charged + exploding with AP2? That's gotta be pretty rare

[slate geyser]

definitely rare yeah

this was my first time getting the combo on AP2 ever

[hollow jacinth]

I got the combo for the first time on AP0 recently lol

Was a fun time

[slate geyser]

yeah it's a blast

[twin karma]

an explosive blast

[hollow jacinth]

If exploding launcher was first, then it was about a 1.14% chance? Correct me if I'm wrong lol

[solar wind]

[violet bloom]

nice

[winged fiber]

[wintry dagger]

concentrated volley + relentless volley is really nice with chiron

[fiery sigil]

pretty good

[violet bloom]

nice

[lunar peak]

was trying out special/attack combinations and accidentally ended up with a broken build and my highest heat run so far

[violet bloom]

nice

[lunar peak]

privileged status carried me the whole game

[winged fiber]

You play only with coronacht

Nice

[solar wind]

Sloppy Fight, probably stopping here today.

[violet bloom]

nice

[tight fulcrum]

u doing all aspects no mirror?

[solar wind]

well there's only like 3 left now.

provided i continue the streak with Demeter i'm probably going for a repeat of Zeus and GY to have a allwep Streak.

[tight fulcrum]

i see

nice nice

[twin karma]

Gaming

[ember moon]

there it is

I've had a very similar build, same duos and legendary

It was so good

ME zeus was alright

Chiron is also very fun

Might not be the strongest

but def one of the most fun to play

[sonic lagoon]

100th victory!

[light bough]

nice!

[lunar peak]

nice

[violet bloom]

Nice

[sweet radish]

nice

[hollow jacinth]

MEris lmao. Absolutely ridiculous damage

[violet bloom]

Nice

[hollow jacinth]

Over 900 damage per doom proc towards the end. I wish I could have afforded the Hermes in the Styx shop

[fleet halo]

rare crop be like

[violet bloom]

R E D

[fleet halo]

also funny 1700 deadly strike crits

[glacial hinge]

25 minutes babey!

[viscid copper]

My first sub 15 🙏

[ember moon]

1st hestia run

[sweet radish]

noice

that is a very good attack

[ember moon]

yeeees

I went for all 5 chambers in styx just for fun, coulda shaved off a few min but I wasn't speed running it

[random oriole]

FINALLY
Demeter legendary after trying forever

[ember moon]

nice, it's so damn annoying to get

[lime bane]

I took 5 hits that run.

[ember moon]

nice one

[lime bane]

Thank you. I made it only thanks to Lady Aphrodite!

[ember moon]

Of course...

Sweet surrender is goated tho

[random oriole]

I thought the Lady Aphrodite heart emoji was on the server for the longest time

[lime bane]

It's from Lady Aphrodite's Twitch channel.

[ember moon]

the what.

[lime bane]

Her Twitch channel.

[random oriole]

well that was sure a thing

[winged fiber]

cursed slash is good

[dim citrus]

Extreme Measures Hades on Heat 11 (+1 from Convenience Fee).
Was just bored, so decided to record it.

[ember moon]

My first attempt at speed running and I got sub 11!

Gonna work on getting a sub 10

and I'll be happy with that time

[void prairie]

aphrodite run

mostly

[half turret]

1st run with beowulf, feels weird, find the bow more comfortable

[void prairie]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/826796295204372492/868463198267928606/unknown.png

INSANE Aphrodite+Poseidon run

199% damage increase with a heroic level 10 damage aphrodite boon

[inner plover]

I think on achilles that damage would have been even crazier had you put the levels on the dash

Maybe try that next time

[lunar peak]

i guess aphrodite/poseidon works on everything

[magic willow]

accidentally started without heat, but although i hadnt played in a long while i managed to beat hades first try

although i did considerably worse

[sweet radish]

Guan Yu charged skewer on 32 Heat - Also finally got 32 heat on all weapons!

[mossy meadow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/840294985177759761/868506080433549412/unknown.png

first 32-heat for 3rd statue

[violet bloom]

nice

[random oriole]

Run 2/2 trying to get Chaos legendary and running into nuts builds instead

[void prairie]

another aphrodite run

[violet bloom]

nice

[inner plover]

Heroic strong drink

[sweet radish]

Tried to make a hades build replicating Hades - Aphrodite for high damage, Artemis dash for dash spins, boiling blood and the sigil of the dead

[violet bloom]

nice

[real heron]

That's awesome. I love it.

[sweet radish]

Pretty fun build to play, but it was not good at dealing damage lol

[dim citrus]

Hangover build

[stark wing]

Flood Flare Beowulf with the occasional Dio-powered crits~

[violet bloom]

bruh

[slate geyser]

diagnosed with can't stop turning into a blade rift disease

[sweet radish]

Chill run on low heat to level up feather duster and aquire more bounties. Also bought the titans blood in the shop cause why not.

[solar wind]

not playing that well tonight, lost the streak in the run before

[sweet radish]

Might have gotten a new PB if i didn't stop to fish in several places and didn't get a 4 sack. Also meg would have helped. As well as Eris. Ok, maybe I wasn't that close to a PB but still.

[tiny abyss]

Jeez, here I am excited I beat it on 3 heat lol!

[ember moon]

How did you get three defiance slots using stubborn defiance?

[lime bane]

DDs from Lady Athena: Last Stand and Deathless Stand.

[ember moon]

How does that work

on stubborn

[lime bane]

If you lose your SD before picking up one of them, she will "replenish" a DD, and then you get your SD back in the next chamber.

[primal crown]

em4 for the 10th bounty really fits, and didnt expect my call to do as much damage as the beo + mirage

[ember moon]

What a close call

Such ass at Em4

[fickle moth]

1st win whit 10 Head

[ember moon]

Merciful end really does work on anything

[ember moon]

Chaos carried

[twin fulcrum]

New PB!!!

[hollow jacinth]

Well done! I'd recommend turning on fiery presence on the fists (and most weapons actually). The fists struggle the most in Tartarus when you don't have ME, and fiery presence helps a ton with that. Also, it's probably faster and safer to do EM2 FO1 instead of EM0 FO2, especially if you are using thick skin. But good job, looks like you had a dope build

[inner plover]

lol this was like jaw droppingly easy to do compared to achilles

[hollow jacinth]

Eris PB by 2 seconds, but the build was absolutely insane. Sub 1:30 styx + dad

[tight fulcrum]

n o i c e n o i c e

[dim citrus]

Heat 20. Gonna heat up the other weapons next, starting with the Fists.

[violet bloom]

nice

[atomic plume]

this was fun

[delicate wagon]

goddammit i was so close to a sub 9

[violet bloom]

Nice

[inner plover]

jesus christ the perfect build

but with stygian soul

?? lol

[lime bane]

Why not? Hunting Blades works better with that. With 4 Casts, you can just keep pressing your Cast button forever.

[hollow jacinth]

Stygian soul is a high-roll with Achilles. But if you get even one extra cast, it's way better with hunting blades

[twin fulcrum]

Oh wow

That’s incredible

EM4 too

Phase 3 must’ve been a breeze

[stark wing]

This is the dream

[inner plover]

bc not every run ends up looking like that lmao

[near glade]

All 24 aspects at 40 Heat are done! I’m so happy

[violet bloom]

Nice

[atomic plume]

It ||skipped cerby|| lmao

[twin fulcrum]

Oh man

[lunar peak]

started off with a normal zeus eris run, ended up with this amalgamation

surprisingly it worked very well

[lunar peak]

this was a lot of fun, i used to dislike beowulf but this tore through everything, asterius died in like 3 hits

Nice

it happened again

[inner plover]

nemmy

[ember moon]

ME Chiron is pretty damn good

It's really good with flurry shot, every ME proc would do about 700 damage cuz I would just alternate attack and special

[formal dock]

less than a second under a half an hour. 4th win too

[crystal geyser]

I managed to die over 100 times!

[glacial hinge]

getting even closer to my sub 20 goal! lady Artemis' boons help so much

[formal dock]

my first streak

heartbreak flourish and with the double hit from dae shredded everything

[fallow oyster]

I know it’s not much but I got my first sub-20. Barely any damage taken either

It also got me enough Titan blood to unlock my 4th hidden aspect

[lime bane]

Nice! Well done!

[subtle coral]

A very aphrodite build

[void prairie]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/826796295204372492/869199389955092500/unknown.png

very chill run

[lunar peak]

my fastest run so far

[tight fulcrum]

[gusty salmon]

scuffed run but it kinda worked

[mild jacinth]

Fastest run

[dusk comet]

sub 15!

[violet bloom]

bruh

[fallow oyster]

Every aspect successfully unlocked:)

[lunar peak]

pog

[inner plover]

funny meme build moment

@sweet radish worked first try like a charm

[sweet radish]

nice

actually looks pretty decent

[forest osprey]

you saw nothing

[violet bloom]

bruh

[rich wagon]

bruh indeed

[severe jungle]

Oh I love those builds! May I ask why Achilles spear? I always either used fists (Demeter or Gilgamesh) or Lucifer rail for merciful end builds.

Lucifer isn’t too good with that but it’s a ton of fun, especially because the reflecting special can do some hilarious stuff with projectiles

[inner plover]

It was a meme build

[severe jungle]

Yeah I know

[inner plover]

If I could get em4 w ME achilles first try

[hollow jacinth]

ME basically works on every aspect at least decently

[severe jungle]

Oh ok got it

[inner plover]

Achilles is my best aspect so I tried the most universal build on it for fun after several resets of not getting flurry in 50 heat

[severe jungle]

You ever combined Crystal beam, glacial glare, and Arctic blast? Add in a mirage shot, Crystal clarity, and (maybe) fully loaded? It’s an inconsistent build but it’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen when it goes off, and is best on Achilles spear

[inner plover]

Yeah I have done 32 on it a couple times

But hunting blades better

[severe jungle]

I agree

[inner plover]

We should go to #h1-builds-and-combat

[severe jungle]

Ok

[solar wind]

Phew.

[violet bloom]

Nice

[near glade]

Are any of these recorded?

[solar wind]

a handful is in the mirrorless tab of the high-heat leaderbord.

[near glade]

Ah, cool, thanks!

[sweet radish]

To finish of the very last achievement I had left in the game, I did an em4 with the same aspect i used on my very first clear.

[violet bloom]

Nice

[twin karma]

nice

[fallow oyster]

Nice job. I cannot use the rail for the life of me

I got the hidden aspect today just to complete my collection. Never using it again lmao

[tiny abyss]

I was digging it towards the end, I have trouble with the dual fist one

[sweet radish]

that zeus attack hestia is cursed

[tiny abyss]

what does that mean?

[rich wagon]

that zeus attack hestia is cursed

[twin fulcrum]

Sub 9!

0 frees in elysium too ;-;

But great rng the rest of the run

[hollow jacinth]

Hestia has very high base damage on the empowered shot, 75 in your case, 150 if the aspect is maxed. Therefore a % damage increase boon such as Aphrodite or Artemis would result in more damage. Since Zeus attack does 10 damage at common level 1, it's only a 13% damage increase, however when compared to Aphrodite, which is a 50% damage increase, it's not a lot. Hence why people are saying "Zeus attack on Hestia is cursed"

[lime bane]

No, that's 9 Heat exactly.

[lime bane]

Lightning Strike is probably the best choice for DPS at 75 base damage tbh.

[hollow jacinth]

Only assuming you get jolted

[lime bane]

That's not too hard.

[hollow jacinth]

@lime bane see? TD3 is free.

This was so painful

[lime bane]

lol nice.

Now do it again with EM4 and a 5-sack.

[hollow jacinth]

This was a 3 sack, and probably could have been EM4, but not on a 5 sack

[lime bane]

EM4 CP2 with that time left? You're pretty confident.

[gusty salmon]

first time tryna speedrun achilles

[twin fulcrum]

Sub 10 spear woulda been sub 9 but I ruined my build with serrated point

[rough pond]

Had a little giggle on a 0 heat run. ‘Twas a blessed run

[ember moon]

2nd 32 heat win on hera bow lesss goooo

[lime bane]

Lovely Cast! Congratulations!

[ember moon]

Thanks! Not too many poms on it cuz the pom luck was sour and I tried to get lots of max life

[lime bane]

Yeah, HP is nice to have.

[mint palm]

Huzzah! My first sub 20 run! I just wanted to see how quick I can do with zero heat and this beat my previous best by quite a bit 😄

[lime bane]

Nice! Congratulations!

First sub 20 feels so good.

[lunar peak]

i just got my first sub 20 as well :D, i knew i was faster than usually but i didn't expect 16 tbh

[twin fulcrum]

Nice

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

[tiny abyss]

@hollow jacinth Ahh I see that makes sense, thanks

[primal crown]

32 heat bow done! Cant believe i would say it but, thank you anvil (and ofc the people in the high heat channel)

[inner plover]

Wow thats bright

[primal crown]

i play with full bright

[inner plover]

[violet bloom]

shield pb

i got a 4 sack

[hollow jacinth]

Abyssal blood gaming

But gg

Proud bearing???

[violet bloom]

i took dad keepsake in elysium but i realized that i should have taken hourglass after i left

and i got proud bearing from athena

[hollow jacinth]

Nice

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

[lime bane]

Epic.

[violet bloom]

shield pb

[tight fulcrum]

poggies

[dim citrus]

Will run again. Windows kinda borked out and made the game think the mouse cursor took over, SO NONE OF MY GRENADES WENT WHERE I WANTED GODDAMMIT

[violet bloom]

nice pact

[inner plover]

Thats a brave pact, you can def do 45 if u can do this

[dim citrus]

Hard Labor on EM4 is just

For me

[violet bloom]

turn off em4 lmao

[dim citrus]

I'll save it for last, I guess

What, no!

EM4 is super fun

[violet bloom]

bruh

[inner plover]

I believe in you

[hollow jacinth]

32 heat PB and second place Hestia! I have no idea if ME is the meta for high heat speedruns, but I would definitely died without divine dash lmao

[violet bloom]

Nice

[lime bane]

I mean with only 2-3 people speedrunning Hestia at 32 Heat, it's meta now lol.

[hollow jacinth]

I think I'm going to watch cgull's run to see what build he goes for

[sweet radish]

Messed up in Elysium and got a 3-sack with a tiny vermin. Still pretty good for me however

[round dome]

fun fog run

[lunar peak]

second sub 20, 2 seconds faster than the first one lmao

[tiny abyss]

Jeez, just barely won that

[sweet radish]

first sub 11. might be able to get a sub 10 soon if i grind a bit

[violet bloom]

nice

[royal perch]

lvl 12 aphrodite boon

[violet bloom]

nice

[lunar peak]

lv12 goddam i didn't even know that was possible

[ember moon]

Barely made it with a crap build but did it in the end

[violet bloom]

nice

[coral yarrow]

Zero Athena spawns, thought I'd be done with.. but I did it, somehow

[violet bloom]

nice

[coral yarrow]

and I had to pick Flurry fire because nothing else better spawned. bleh

[steel sleet]

i had the timer off so i dont actually know how long it took LOL but i think this was the fastest final boss fight i've done??

[lunar peak]

OH MY GOD THAT MUSIC IS SO GOOD

I need to turn on EM4 now

[inner plover]

That was 3 days ago

4*

[lunar peak]

Ye

I like looking through this channel every so often :/

[sweet radish]

Hestia the bestia doesn't need more than 10 boons

[violet bloom]

Nice

[dim citrus]

Did another 32 Heat run. Got really lucky

[lunar peak]

Big pog

[steel sleet]

new pb & i think i am starting to finally like shield :3 with chill stacking + athena call + snowy background it was rly hard to tell what was going on in the last fight tho

[candid harbor]

tfw killing hades fast enough to get plume bonus
B)

[gusty salmon]

pride gaming hasnt been nice 3 runs and no duo boons at all smh

[twin karma]

Super soaker 32

[gusty salmon]

oh ima try that now

[ember moon]

4th 32 heat win

SUPER close call

[toxic flume]

wee new best heat and best clear time... eris is nuts

[severe jungle]

SUPER SOAKER POG

[coral yarrow]

How do you guys get such low times? What's your secret? I can barely get sub 30 sometimes.

[lime bane]

Mainly just play a lot more aggressive.

[coral yarrow]

I mean.. i am always trying not to take any damage. Maybe that's the problem.

[lime bane]

Probably. My early clears took about as long as yours.

[coral yarrow]

Nothing to worry about then

I mean, I only have 50 hours-ish in the game

[dim citrus]

Took me like 6 retries, but I got it.

[hollow jacinth]

Goodness me. With an optimised pact/mirror, you'll be doing 50 heat no problem. Well done!

[brave fulcrum]

Thanks hermes

[mint palm]

Damn, I honestly thought I did better than my zero heat best. Still, Skelly's first prize awaits!

[inner plover]

Companion Shady

[hollow jacinth]

7 second 32 heat PB. Not gonna lie, I prefer ME to the anyheat build

[lunar peak]

i can't believe i got through 32 heat haha, my highest on the rail was 7 before that lol

[hollow jacinth]

Well done, that's quite a jump! Was that 16 -> 32?

[gusty salmon]

congrats if so, that was a big jump

[lunar peak]

yep :D
i'm proud of myself haha, although i did cheese hades a bit with the zeus-artemis boon and just running away from him lol

or wait is that a spoiler here?

[hollow jacinth]

You beat him, and that's what matters

No it's not a spoiler

[gusty salmon]

somehow this build worked out lmao

and it was like a 30-50 second hades fight somehow

[ember moon]

Insane meme run

Surprisingly one, one of my best chiron runs

[dim citrus]

First EM4 on Gil

[sweet radish]

45 heat

[violet bloom]

nice

[tulip marsh]

got my 5th 32-heat!
did it with EM4 and FO2

also forgot to change my keepsake out of elysium, which was actually a very intentional and not accidental self-imposed challenge

also got my first hitless em3 fight on this run, which i was not expecting at all

[mint palm]

Yay! My first sub 15 run! Hated that there were so many little rat spawns and I almost died completely to Hades as I got too excited but I'm super stoked 😄

[sweet radish]

New PB by 10. Might have been sub 10 if I had gotten cluster-rockets

[tiny abyss]

Again I... you...

Ignore the clear time... I left it paused

[hollow jacinth]

Just fyfi, having hangover from multiple sources is usually a bad thing. New stacks of hangover will remove the old stacks, and if the old stacks were from your call/special and the new stacks were on your dash, you'd get a DPS loss

[tiny abyss]

ahh I figured multiple sources was bad because it doesn't stack all that much but didn't know it erased the old ones... good to know, thanks!

[raw swan]

damn that's a hot jolted

[raw swan]

You should try thunder flourish with zeus, especially at low levels because the white damage doesn't really matter

[raw swan]

The only reason I ever tried high heat was because of skelly's rewards lmao

I think that might be true for a lot of players, hence the jump

[random oriole]

aaaaaaa I beat the secret boss in Tartarus wheeeeeee
(Arthur sword pog)

[ember moon]

Insane EM4 zeus special rama run

[lunar peak]

improved my spear time by 12 minutes

[lime bane]

Nice! Big improvement!

[dim citrus]

I have no idea why I did this.

[snow pendant]

congrats

[hollow jacinth]

Wow, well done!

[dim citrus]

I close my eyes and I can still see the death screen

[hollow jacinth]

How the heck did you only take 78 damage during superdad?!

[dim citrus]

Lotta dodging

And the blessing of RNG

That's Lambent Plume + Second Wind

[hollow jacinth]

Also fyi attack damage on Eris adds basically nothing

From chaos I mean

[dim citrus]

It was the only good ones

I kept getting Chaos Cast boons

[gusty salmon]

Wow

[ember moon]

Pretty good zeus meme build

[royal sphinx]

Who needs dds anyway

[ember moon]

Great Poseidon sword run with zeus cast

[tight fulcrum]

not a good run but first time getting dem legendary

[sonic abyss]

@lime bane @rough kite @random oriole I finally did it!!! thank you so much for your advice and insight, man it was a really good choice for me to start my first playthrough on hell mode

[rough kite]

[sweet radish]

50 heat without using stubborn and not losing a single death defiance? While fighting em4 cp2 dad? howww

thats insane

[rough kite]

15 minutes no less!

[lime bane]

100% dodge chance with Ruthless up.

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

I find your lack of boons disturbing, however.

[ember moon]

Been a wait since I played chaos sheild

[sonic abyss]

I didn't see any along the way, sadly

But you're right, Athena to win!

[lime bane]

Start with the , obviously.

[sonic abyss]

Oh that's a tough one to do for me on the Rail 😓 the damage debuff seems rather inefficient since it doesn't stack its affects with 11 other bullets?

[fallow oyster]

My first mid-heat clear

[sonic abyss]

But I'll look into it!

[lime bane]

@sonic abyss regardless, m in no way to thank for such a blasphemous build.

[sonic abyss]

but...

[twin karma]

[lime bane]

I didn't say to not have any boons.

[sonic abyss]

[wise yarrow]

first 40+ heat clear! Although in my head I'll count it as a 44 heat victory since I got sub-20 and the timer never went below 5 min per area

[inner plover]

Lol

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

But if you'd done TD3, every chamber would have had Saviors. You know how it goes.

[wise yarrow]

ssshhhh we don't talk about that, I'm already fragile from the 20+attempts this took

[strange token]

New GY heat record, in record time too

[violet bloom]

nice

[inner plover]

Nuts

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

How many resets for Charged Skewer?

[strange token]

Only 3, surprisingly

[lime bane]

Oh wow. Did you play it out until second hammer or reset at first?

3 resets for 1st hammer is mad lucky.

[strange token]

I played it out but you can't get very far with only winged serpent

[lime bane]

Lol yeah.

Sad hammer.

[fallow oyster]

I cannot use Guan Yu for the life of me. There’s a reason I always optimize for survivability lol

I’d rather use a dumb meme build than a solid GY build

I just got a clear with the greatest meme build I’ve ever used.
Beowulf with blade rift cast. I call it Beoblade

[lunar peak]

that is certainly an unconventional build i think

[blazing tusk]

hi all, first time post - got my first em4 clear today after 3 tries, followed it up with a second (gilgamesh fists) not long after 🥰

[hardy trellis]

First win that I've got on Hades me and my friend were on a discord call freaking out bc we're both pretty new to the game

[violet bloom]

Nice

[dim citrus]

Was sloppy this time. Just need more practice, I suppose.
But still, Heat 50 clear again.

[violet bloom]

Nice

[hardy trellis]

Thanks

[near glade]

Wow! Are these runs recorded? They’d be top 10 at 50 Heat: https://www.speedrun.com/hades/full_game#50_Heat

[toxic flume]

Trying to learn FO1 a bit, tried EM3 and got blasted by them lmao.. went back to EM2 for this fun ME run

New top heat/fastest speed for me!

[brave fulcrum]

This build was an accident

[royal sphinx]

https://imgur.com/a/K6yujqB

FINALLLLYYYYYYY

definitely close by the way

[dim citrus]

32 Heat Fists on Demeter

Decided to go 32 Heat on Arthur, just picking Lambent Plume at the start and never changing.
I was like
RNG GODS, TAKE ME!
First boon is Aphrodite.

[lunar peak]

69th clear

[hollow jacinth]

Nice

Deadly strike as well

[lunar peak]

and hunter's mark :p

[hollow jacinth]

Very nice

[lime bane]

Nice!

[dusk comet]

Zeus on fists is quite nice, but safe to say bouldy carried this run

[violet bloom]

how did i get a sub 10

[zinc lintel]

Through gaming

Sick Anvil btw

[violet bloom]

thank you

[hollow jacinth]

Do love a good dread flight

[lime bane]

Passion Flare, Mirage Shot, Grasp, Deadly Strike.

Oh, and Lv.6 Tidal Dash.

That's how.

[violet bloom]

i think it was bouldy and dread flight

[lime bane]

No. It was actually entirely thanks to Passion Flare.

[violet bloom]

or maybe it was the flame wheel release

[twin fulcrum]

Most fun build I’ve ever had

[violet bloom]

nice

[dim citrus]

lmao

All that dodge

[twin fulcrum]

I didn’t even get greater evasion

I could’ve reached 100% dodge rate if I had

[violet bloom]

use ruthless reflex from the mirror

free 50% dodge chance

[twin fulcrum]

Also I got my first 32 heat bow and spear runs and did my first boonless run

[twin fulcrum]

Oh snap

Time to redo it and become invincible

[hollow jacinth]

32 heat sub 9! I will not be using ME anymore

[lime bane]

2s slower than me.

14th on the leaderboard. Nice.

[hollow jacinth]

Really liking this category

Should probably start taking jerky from patty

[lime bane]

Yeah, that would have beaten my 32 Heat PB with Cyclops Jerky Select.

I also feel like you have too much HP lol.

There must have been some opportunity cost there for DPS.

[hollow jacinth]

I'm playing this like high heat

Instead of speedrunning

[lime bane]

Yeah.

[hollow jacinth]

I did have health from chaos though

And vintage

That ate up my nectar from Eurydice

[lime bane]

Ambrosia Delight, you mean.

[hollow jacinth]

No, I took refreshing nectar but I got a Dionysus boon the next chamber

[lime bane]

Oh, for some reason I saw that Heartbreak Strike as heroic lol nevermind me.

I took 9 damage with Divine Protection and 3 Acorn charges remaining.

Beat that.

[winged fiber]

[violet bloom]

Nice

Me over here with the occasional 400hp nervous

[inner plover]

New channel #hades-fail-complaining

[ember moon]

32 heat hunting blades run

[hollow jacinth]

Nice! Shame you only had 1 cast

[ember moon]

There was a high rarity ares boon in the shop which probably woulda given my vicious cycle, but then my touch of styx would run out and it just wasn't worth it

[hollow jacinth]

Only sword remains!

[ember moon]

Worth going back for coin I mean

yep, just sword left

[lime bane]

Those actually have slightly reduced chance for duo/legendary.

[ember moon]

oh, really?

good to know

[lime bane]

Although it barely makes a difference.

[ember moon]

Reduced compared to regular boons or higher rarity boons?

[hollow jacinth]

Regular boons

[lime bane]

Only 10% base chance per slot instead 12% like normal.

[mint palm]

Huzzah! First try at EM4 was successful! First use of cold embrace also. Weird but wonderful!

Also did this run afterwards. Making an infinite super soaker sounded like a good idea at the time 🤣

[lunar peak]

not sure i understand cold embrace, why would i want my cast to fire at me?

[winged fiber]

Better aim

[tight fulcrum]

crystal clarity?

[winged fiber]

What

I mean cold embrace

Easier to aim cast rays

[tight fulcrum]

but crystal clarity aims them for you

[mint palm]

@winged fiber @tight fulcrum @lunar peak Yeah Crystal Clarity I thought was miles better at first but then if you're right on top of your enemy anyway, or better yet get behind them then Cold Embrace is quite awesome.

If push came to shove l'd probably pick Crystal Clarity though.

[inner plover]

Cold embrace might be the only negatively impactful duo lol

Its genuinely so bad

[fervent night]

Is that the one that targets you?

[lunar peak]

yep

i have absolutely no idea how this was my fastest run, the boons are so bad and don't work with demeter fists at all lol
i didn't even get hunting blades

i guess the hammer upgrades and the 2 sack helped

got 750 from the last chamber

[random oriole]

agreed. it let me ||skip the whole dad fight|| the first time I got it :P

[sweet radish]

triple beams and triple bombs on the satan blaster

So proud of my subconscious OCD

(20 heat Excalibur heart rend, but that’s the more important part)

[violet bloom]

Nice

A man of culture

[violet bloom]

Nice

[tiny abyss]

I lost my streak 😭

[violet bloom]

Nice

[shell void]

YOOOOO

First EM4 clear with 1.7 SECONDS to spare

[violet bloom]

Nice

[shell void]

I also didn't get crystal clarity until the shop before Asterius and was down to zero DD but managed to grab a Kiss of Styx Premium

[tiny abyss]

woot finally beat it with twin fist

[lime bane]

Curse of Agony is the best Attack you can get on Malphon for DPS, and Hunter Dash is amazing on Malphon, too. You also have the two best hammers, Pressure Points, Support Fire, an epic Hunter's Mark, and +3 dashes and even a Rush Delivery to top it all off with some global damage bonus. That's a lot of DPS.

[fervent night]

update on this scenario and me mentioning 400 hp. I'm about to enter the second chamber of Eleysium and I'm at 338 hp. Epic level Life Affirmation good.

[random oriole]

spent all rerolls on Chaos and never got more casts. At least auto reload came through

[zinc lintel]

How are you going to tell me you got 406 health but not a second Hermès boon on Dio Beo when your first one was Auto Reload

With Legacy on

[random oriole]

Chaos gave +76

OH I got Side Hustle but sold it because UC

(it was either that or something I needed for a duo and I was out of rerolls)

[zinc lintel]

Ok I feel significantly less bad about only seeing one Hermès boon when you had potential Bad News open

[random oriole]

Yeah I got auto reload at Tart shop then side Hustle in Asphodel

[twin karma]

Bad news is pog

[random oriole]

It's global, right?

[twin karma]

Yes

Because of a bug

[random oriole]

that's now a feature?

[twin karma]

It’s not intended

[random oriole]

But they're keeping it?

[snow pendant]

probably

[lunar peak]

hm i guess.. but i didn't even have any boon on my special because i kept hoping for something better than demeter or ares!

[ember moon]

And with that, I have 32 heat on all 6 weapon types (not aspects though that is a future goal)

[brave fulcrum]

Ok I expected worse out of uncle fish on fist

This is... decent

[inner plover]

Ap 1 instead of last levels of HL and LC

Instead of JS and CP

Interestinggg

[ember moon]

EM4 melter

[primal oasis]

you guys are pros XD

[zinc lintel]

There’s a few bugs they are aware of that they are not fixing, Rocket Bomb doesnt get reduced damage from Cluster Bomb and Mirage Shot’s second cast doesn’t have reduced damage on Beowulf

[lime bane]

Pretty sure most of those were reported when they were on vacation, and they all affect game balance a lot. Changing the description to fit the effect might be better than changing the effect at this point. And they're not minor bugs they can just fix without a decision from the top, either.

[primal oasis]

not as great as you guys, but this is the craziest run ever for me

ice wine + trippy shot is simple devastating

[severe jungle]

It really is, especially on Beowulf

New heat PB kinda carried by Rama

Tbh I have very little Rama experience so it amazes me how easily I did that. Genuinely that was never even close. I could have had HL5 and I still would have been fine

[twin fulcrum]

Nice

[near glade]

Level 16 Drunken Strike?? Did you sell Sweet Nectar in mid-biome?

[dim citrus]

Yep. Every pom to Drunken Strike, too, aside from the random ones.
Ran into Eurydice in Asphodel as well.

Part of running UC is having to pick really good boons just for their short-term gain and then dropping them later

[dusk comet]

healing time

also had 30% attack speed from hermes

[dim citrus]

[violet bloom]

haha beowulf go vroom vroom skrrt boom woosh

no sub 8

[hollow jacinth]

Fast

Probably close to insta-phasing dad?

[violet bloom]

i was insta-phasing him

for the first phase

it took two shots to kill his second phase

[dim citrus]

All the dodging lmao

[hollow jacinth]

How are you entering Hades at full health?

[dim citrus]

I save my reroll stones for any shop I run into at the end and buy whatever healing I can get. Hydralite, etc.
It's all random, of course, but that entire run was basically me throwing my hands up and saying "F IT, I'LL JUST GRAB THE PLUME! DO YOUR WORST RNG!"

[wintry dagger]

the fountain in styx

[dim citrus]

Still mad about this morning

I gambled on the Anvil, and hoo boy

IT DID NOT GO WELL

[hollow jacinth]

Can't believe you're getting all these 50 heat clears with DD and LC3

It's pretty impressive

[dim citrus]

It's masochistic. Could probably do better if I stopped twitch dodging and actually paid more attention. But ehhhhh

I want to think that much, I'll play XCOM instead

[hollow jacinth]

Also I bet if you played an anyheat run you'd comfortably beat 15 mins

[dim citrus]

Yeah, that wouldn't be unreasonable. Should do that sometime.

[hollow jacinth]

It would be a walk in the park

[wintry dagger]

what's with that doom damage bruh

[dim citrus]

It's Exagryph + Impending Doom + Dire Misfortune

That's a lot of stacks

[wintry dagger]

ohhh

i see

lovely

[ember moon]

The damage on this is absolutely ridiculous

EM4 hades just melted

[primal oasis]

that's like 500 damage of doom

and one dash = doom

badaboom bam bomb

hades dead

[dim citrus]

Yep. Sounds about right, lmao

[near glade]

Do you mean RTA?

Eris Bunny already has 15:xx IGT at 50 - sub-15 IGT any heat would be a breeze

[hollow jacinth]

Not RTA, but I did say that igt would be a walk in the park

15 mins RTA is basically as hard as 7:30 IGT

[near glade]

Maybe I’ll try HL4 LC3 JS3 EM4 CP2 (but RI0) with DDs seems to be working

[lime bane]

Don't say that. Getting your first wins is just as exciting as somebody getting their first 20 Heat win or first sub 10 or whatever else. The channel is to boast your cool wins and fun builds and all that, not to compare, after all. It's not #hades-victory-comparing.

Also that looks a lot like my old go-to build on Zag Fists that some people called "Mewmew Special" lol. Divine Strike is a lot of fun on Malphon.

@dim citrus are you submitting your runs to the high heat leaderboard?

[hollow jacinth]

You could also submit the videos to speedrun.com, a few of them are probably in the top 10 in terms of clear time

Yep, you'd currently be 8th in the world

[lime bane]

8th on the leaderboard, not necessarily 8th in the world, but yeah.

[hollow jacinth]

Very likely, I think if most people were beating 50 heat in 15 mins, they'd be submitting their runs

Imagine if there was a random person that was quicker than 5:49 and they never had a clue

[near glade]

Maybe if this legendary gamer only did it for Reddit clout but yeah seems unlikely

[lime bane]

Some people just don't really care too much about one leaderboard or the other.

[dim citrus]

I appreciate the offer, but I'll pass. I stay away from any sort of Leaderboard.

[lime bane]

There lol.

[dim citrus]

I have a bad history with Leaderboards and Rankings. Brings out the worst in me.
I only run Heat 50 for the thrill of it, nothing more.

[lime bane]

Yeah, makes sense. No pressure.

[dim citrus]

[inner plover]

[spring ingot]

first time using gilgamesh, i really like it

[slate geyser]

55 heat Guan Yu!

[violet bloom]

Nice

[hollow jacinth]

Hmmm. If you'd got this on the second or even 10th try, especially with the pact that reduces your choices, I'd think you're cheating!

[slate geyser]

lmao

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

Perfectly normal AP2 build.

[hollow jacinth]

Classic smoldering Zeus call jolted

[slate geyser]

definitely no good boons here

[lime bane]

Is that new WR or tied? I think Retrash's was also around 55.

[slate geyser]

ah this was a seeded run, for skewer

[lime bane]

I see.

Seeded WR since Retrash's was unseeded?

[slate geyser]

my unseeded is still at 53

lol i suppose so yeah

[lime bane]

I wouldn't want to do AP2 unseeded with Guan Yu, I feel you.

[twin karma]

you will be forever haunted by that copypasta

there is no escape

[dusk comet]

Zeus attack on guan Yu pogU

Rng was on your side clearly

[slate geyser]

i legit like zeus attack on GY for the double dash-strike into skewer

[hollow jacinth]

Hey, it's probably not awful since it procs jolted

[slate geyser]

and yeah jolted carrier

[lime bane]

#h1-high-heat-strategies

gave eris bunny's build a shot and just got possibly the luckiest run ever

[dim citrus]

[vapid sluice]

@dim citrus thanks for the build idea it was really interesting!

[violet bloom]

Nice

[brave fulcrum]

Unconventional heart rend build

The pin icon on Fidi looks like it’s eye

[lime bane]

[brave fulcrum]

This was unexpectedly good and fun

[random oriole]

What's that black X above your screen

[toxic flume]

First time trying FO2, confirm all I learned trying with Eris, is that Eris is busted.

[tight fulcrum]

u trying to speedrun?

[lime bane]

They're practicing for high heat.

[toxic flume]

^yep exactly this

[random oriole]

Is that Poseison's aid

[tight fulcrum]

demeter's

[random oriole]

ae

[spare blaze]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/809634679456137226/871251056749850684/unknown.png

Got a couple of Eris bangles

[tight fulcrum]

just a couple

[brave fulcrum]

That's a lot of items

[spare blaze]

Roll your wells, kids

[lime bane]

Nice one!

6:23 is with Beowulf? So not a PB.

Great time, anyway.

Could have been sub 7 with Passion Flare, obviously.

[lime bane]

Aspect of Hestia is dumb.

[inner plover]

Fidi 0-0

[lime bane]

Fidi is great.

[lunar peak]

first time using a controller

[dim citrus]

[hollow jacinth]

@dim citrus the next time you do a 50 heat run, would you mind recording it? I want to get to the point where I can reliably streak 50s, and I feel like watching your runs would really help me

[dim citrus]

lmao it only looks like a streak, my friend

I had to hit GIVE UP like 5 times for Excalibur

3 for Lucifer

[hollow jacinth]

Ah

Yeah Lucifer is extremely unsafe

And Arthur is a pain at high heat as well

[dim citrus]

I tried DC2 with Hangover

OHHH THAT WAS A MISTAKE

[hollow jacinth]

Yeah I tried a JS3 CP2 DC2 Arthur run and was barely able to beat it in 18 mins, to beat that with EM4 as well is cool, given that I pretty much only focus on speedrunning

[dim citrus]

I had to fight the Erinyes with TD ticks draining me

[inner plover]

So many 50 clears

Already

Ur cracked

I wanna this LC lowering once I clean up the house

[hollow jacinth]

I'm gonna try a LC0 run at 50

[sweet radish]

New Spear PB

[inner plover]

flurry and serrated

ruin each other

ur run would probably have been quicker

had you not gotten one or the other

whichever was the second one

nor r u using tidal dash, or a good cast

if u got 13 w this u can get much lower w a better build

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eAOEli9KqJOVyPD7U-6D1o1yZx1tDMQWLDcMJr8G84E/edit?usp=sharing

[twin fulcrum]

Yes

My spear pb is 9:19 but it could’ve been sub 9 if I didn’t take serrated point

[snow pendant]

why take serrated with flurry lol

[twin fulcrum]

I didn’t realise it ruined it ;-;

[hollow jacinth]

3 sack lmao

[violet bloom]

nice

[ocean plank]

Best blade rift run I've had. Only way it could've been better is if I had the dash

[violet bloom]

nice

bruh

[severe jungle]

Effortless 26 Chaos shield also 6 dashes

[violet bloom]

nice

[hollow jacinth]

2nd weapon at 50 heat done! Got really lucky with everything in this build... Except poms. Didn't even get a pom into my cast until mid elysium. And everything else wasn't even close

[slate geyser]

holy hell this smoldering build with the hermes boons

beautiful

[hollow jacinth]

Completely lucked out in that aspect

Still lost loads of health because I had 0 damage and was pressured from the timer

[severe jungle]

00:00.00
6 HP

Very impressive

I can only imagine how fast my heart would have been beating

[hollow jacinth]

Probably the most excited I've been after a run since my first sub 8

[twin fulcrum]

Oh man 6hp

Also 50% dodge rate you love to see it

[hollow jacinth]

120% at max, but that wasn't full uptime

[wintry dagger]

@lime bane FO2 was scary but not as scary as i thought it would be after a while

i did struggle a bti with the bowmen in elysium

and the witches in erebus at the start

but i think it's managable

[lime bane]

Excalibur is the one aspect that doesn't like FO2 at all.

Anyway, good job!

[wintry dagger]

thank youu

[shell void]

what does this mean

both EM4 victories have been meme builds

[tight fulcrum]

meme build=gud

[shell void]

it's a vengeful mood build though

of all things

[tight fulcrum]

meme build=gud

[fervent night]

vengeful mood is fun

[twin fulcrum]

32 heat on fists, shield and sword! I’ve now done 32 heat on all weapons

Also I beat my highest heat with this hestia run

[violet bloom]

Nice

[hollow jacinth]

Close one! Well done

[fiery sigil]

this run was great

dashing to make the shield follow me inflicting hangover

tons of damage

[violet bloom]

Nice

[fiery sigil]

dire misfortune stacking too

and there was smoldering air which let me use call a lot and with billowing strength i just kept getting damage boosts

i got curse of longing at the end of the run but damn it's good

[twin fulcrum]

New PB! I put my switch down and went on my phone mid dad fight because my casts got stuck off of the map where I couldn’t retrieve them

[violet bloom]

Nice

[shell void]

why battie if I can ask?

[hollow jacinth]

Does damage instantly

And it's enough to strip armor off of minibosses

[shell void]

ah, makes sense

[sweet radish]

finally unlocked the full mirror

[spring ingot]

@sweet radish How long did that take you

[brave fulcrum]

This was pretty nice

[ember moon]

Well done!

[brave fulcrum]

First zag sword run in a while

[heady portal]

@sweet radish hey friend, impressive mirror but that should really go in #h1-builds-and-combat ! this channel is exclusively for victory screens or 100% cheevos

[brave fulcrum]

I beat the challenge

Just not on the right weapon

[rich wagon]

[brave fulcrum]

I intended to do the challenge

But I got carried away

[royal sphinx]

hm I like this

definition of melted hades

chaos likes me

[sweet radish]

Well as in gameplay time, about 180 hours, though I probably could have finished it a lot sooner if I started focusing purely on it earlier

[sweet radish]

Alright, thanks for the heads up

[lunar peak]

hot damn! i was aiming for my first sub 15 and the fists outdid themselves again

[twin fulcrum]

Nice

If you want to go really fast merciful end with divine dash is amazing

But 11:41 is still really good

wrong

imagine my reaction as i press summon and dusa appears

[tight fulcrum]

nah im still put into depression witnessing zeus dash and +3

[fleet halo]

[twin fulcrum]

PBd again even though I had bad free room rng because Achilles

[violet bloom]

[hollow jacinth]

PBing consistently is always a good sign

Even if it's just a little at a time

Keep at it!

[random oriole]

3rd 32 heat clear whee

[violet bloom]

Nice

[vital token]

My first sword run when i was trying to hunt for Aphrodite + Demeter duo for the achievement

Aight then i take wins when i can

[steel sleet]

hunting blades <3

[sweet radish]

Achilles 32 heat. Pretty good build and got lucky with flurry first try, though looking back I probably should have gone for more poms. Still worked out though

[next badger]

who needs high level boons when you have cluster + rocket bomb

[mental rapids]

tried 32 heat multiple times just for the unlockable (w/ a lil bit of tearing up somewhere in the middle ) and immediately went back to 0 heat ☠️

[lunar peak]

accidentally got curse of drowning on this run. pair that with privileged status and cluster/rocket bomb, [redacted] didn’t stand a chance

[inner plover]

I like this achilles trend I am seeing

[lime bane]

No one can resist Brad Pitt.

[lunar peak]

interesting build, but i wasn't as fast as with the mr freeze build

[plush harbor]

Not sure if it belongs here but... Damn Thanatos was slacking!

[tight fulcrum]

that is a long than

[plush harbor]

I had the max "Extra foes" from the pact and I think I had a curse that increased it too. most of the enemies were low health ones so killing them before him was easy

[stuck lagoon]

I just dash around let than do the work

And he'll be like you're not helping

i should've been much faster with these boons :/

[hollow jacinth]

Wow, that puts you up to 6th. Good job!

[violet bloom]

bruh

[random oriole]

bruh?

[hollow jacinth]

Playing like he had UC and RI2 on

So few boons

[dim citrus]

also 8:41

[lime bane]

More like playing free poms everywhere.

Speedy.
