Congratulations!

Learn at your own pace, no need to speedrun anytime soon.

[inner plover]

It went from speedrun to just see how many duos and legendaries I could getr

[winged fiber]

really smooth run

spent more time waiting for dad to come out of invulnerability than fighting him

[dusk comet]

Whats the skull icon?

[lime bane]

The "boon"? That's for God Mode.

[dusk comet]

[vital marten]

This room is a win on its own, the most stacked room in the game: fishing spot + infernal trove + chaos portal

[steel pagoda]

looks like i'm about to cut hes head or something

[steel sleet]

have mercy!

[mystic wren]

Hades proud of his son for learning.

[tiny abyss]

Its a little weird you can charm your dad

[tawdry radish]

My first time! Only had to use one Death Defiance through out the whole thing.

[violet bloom]

Nice

[vital token]

First 5 heat run I love artemis and ares bro

[delicate wagon]

im actually so mad

i had so many dumb moments where i could have shaved 3 or 4 seconds off

[sand verge]

Was going for sub 10min on all weapons, after recently doing it on the rail when I've been trying for months. Surprised myself with a sub 9 on the fists!

[brave fulcrum]

Touch the beyblade, feel the beyblade... be the beyblade

[ember moon]

where erebus gate

[vital marten]

i didn't even know they existed at that point

now i know : o

[ember moon]

nvm I just saw the 1 heat

[vital marten]

ALLRIGHT, HEATSHAMING HERE

[ember moon]

I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT

[vital marten]

yeah yeah sure, sure, i'm not offended, no no

good luck with your 60 heat runs

🥲

[ember moon]

Yeah I don't think I'll ever hit 60 heat

[vital marten]

i'm super new to this, is there a current record for heat / a hard cap?

[dusk comet]

Max is 64 with hell mode, I've seen a 63 heat on yt

[vital marten]

the question has to be asked, what's the one single heat he couldn't add to his already existing 63 heats?

[dusk comet]

Hell mode forces you to have one special heat modifier you can't add outside of hell mode

Personal liability, removes short immunity you get when you take lots of damage fast

Ig a lot of hits is a more accurate way to say it

[vital marten]

doesn't sound like the harshest of debuffs out there to me, am i too newb to understand how much of a debuff it is?

[dusk comet]

Nah it's not that big a deal

Iirc you need to play on 5 heat as well from the start, although I don't remember the modifiers

[hollow jacinth]

Personal liability is pretty tough

Can't facetank lasers in dad fight anymore

[royal sphinx]

SUB 12!!!!!!!!

NEW PB LESSGOOOO

[random oriole]

HL1 LC1 CP1 JS1 PL. I think.

[twin fulcrum]

Nice

Using infernal soul with Poseidon cast is probably faster

Also you had all 3 DDs left so you seem pretty comfortable with FO1, maybe try turning it up to FO2 for a slightly faster time

[royal sphinx]

will do

[winged fiber]

first sub 20

[zinc lintel]

I'm curious do you still have the video?

Someone clearing 63 heat not on hellmode sounds like a joke tho tbf

[zinc lintel]

Also just so there's some correct info, the documented record for unseeded heat is 60 held by I think 3 people, the record for seeded is 61 I believe and one person has done 64 heat routed which basically means they used rng manipulation strats to get everything they need to get a clear

[hollow jacinth]

Seeded record is still 60 I think

[zinc lintel]

Nah there's a vid of someone doing 61 heat rama seeding for deadly strike

ri3 cp1

it's just not on the leaderboard

[dusk comet]

i might be wrong, I didnt watch it just saw the thumbnail

[hollow jacinth]

Must have missed it

[zinc lintel]

found the vid I'll through it in #h1-high-heat-strategies so that we're not clogging this channel up too much

[dusk comet]

meme build I thought would be funny, surprisingly not terrible

fat 600 damage doom hits

[brave fulcrum]

New spear PB

[snow pendant]

i thought 64 was routed

is there a difference between seeded and routed

[zinc lintel]

There is but not on the leaderboard cause it's a rather subjective distinction

[lunar peak]

starting to really like beowulf

[lime bane]

Not all seeded runs are routed, but all routed runs are seeded.

[snow pendant]

okay thanks for the clarification

[twin karma]

Dio Beo is still very strong, its 4th on the unseeded modded speedrun leaderboard rn

[hollow jacinth]

Huge 32 heat PB (modded)

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. 2 SECONDSSSS

I didnt bother to set the things I got

almost cried

[tawdry radish]

Turns out when you can chain a ton of critical hits and then up the damage on those crits, things become easy.

[dusk comet]

this was kinda fun, special only run

[tacit narwhal]

nnnyyyoom | don't ask about coinpurse i picked poseidon boon accidentally

[brave fulcrum]

This was fun

Wowzers

Do you just always go for hearts?

[fervent night]

300hp is smol. Come back when someone posts 400 hp

[hushed stratus]

yea I always had around 250-300

[static yarrow]

Took a fair number of hearts, didn't expect to use just 1 DD though

[steep jackal]

I haven’t gotten over 200 in ages

Atm my run luck is so good so I can just blow up hades without loosing all my dd

[inner plover]

messing up the sub 8 like a pro

miss the meg

[hollow jacinth]

Dad fight is hard with Achilles, good job

[inner plover]

is it? I usually get like 40 seconds him

50 was pretty poopy

[hollow jacinth]

Yeah you need a good cast

[inner plover]

couldnt get the duo

[dusk comet]

new pb! could have gotten sub 12 if I didnt afk in a room

[inner plover]

level 6 artemis aid

[dusk comet]

Got 2 poms from the final shop, her aid was the best option in both

mini nuke :D

[nocturne estuary]

yey PB

[inner plover]

if u care abt speed em2 and fo2 or fo1 will help out a bit

and hourglass or hades call in Ely and Styx instead

[dusk comet]

Wasnt going for speed on that run, just wanted to finish ||inviting the olympians||, and ended up going pretty fast

[inner plover]

I was talkin to non

[dusk comet]

oh kek

[nocturne estuary]

oh ty, i was just playing for the prophecies haha, even had god mode on 😄

but why does hades call help really

I thought it only make you invinsible

[high crater]

Celebrated my 50th clear by trying to go fast for the first time. Pretty happy with sub-15 seeing how I didn’t even get sea storm

[nocturne estuary]

saw that in a speedrun but don't know why at all

[high crater]

It also boosts your damage by 100% over its duration at full stacks

(And your first attack with lesser stacks)

[nocturne estuary]

wah-, lemme check wiki real quick

[steel pagoda]

attack stacking in arthur

[nocturne estuary]

oh nice, always thought it was the worst call ._.

[near glade]

Yeah, the in-game text for Hades’ keepsake really makes it sound like garbage

[winged fiber]

Imagine if also black shawl

[violet bloom]

bruh

[random oriole]

@high crater @nocturne estuary lesser Hades call also boost all attacks before it wears off, only the invisibility goes away after the first attack. the wiki is wrong

[twin fulcrum]

0 frees in elysium moment

[jade seal]

it was actually really easy with exagryph and hangover effects

[violet bloom]

Nice

[crisp kite]

Beat hades for the second time ever (and in a row). I literally just spammed bomb all game. Went into the final fight on last chance full health, didn't fall below half. I got really lucky lol
https://i.vgy.me/K3NJNS.png

[violet bloom]

nice

[wintry dagger]

eris with hazard bomb hmmm

[tawdry radish]

I pushed the big thunder button and Hades went down pretty fast.

[hollow jacinth]

Shield sub 10 at 32 heat

[covert breach]

First clear!!!! Hated my build and was honestly zoning out for most of the run but I did it finally

[steel sleet]

congrats!!

[violet bloom]

Nice

[tawdry radish]

Great! Good job

I have a streak going for the first time!

[dim citrus]

Last second save from Athena

[violet bloom]

Nice

[tawdry radish]

Excellent!

[minor widget]

My first 20 heat weapon done! Was Cursed Blade up until the Anvil. Got fairly lucky, probably wouldn't have made it.

(Yes I like the mirror Epic rarity buff as opposed to the duo buff. Better Hermes and Chaos stuff.)

[twin karma]

Speedy run. Def had pb potential but I missed it

[sweet radish]

14 Casts on poseidon. Also into elysium in 5 min but messed up in it which slowed me down. still got really lucky with chaos though

[nocturne estuary]

nono the wiki is right, it said that too

[vivid oracle]

Fist clear down, and that is half the weapons done.

[dusk comet]

Em4 is so fun

[nocturne estuary]

ikr, should be mandatory

imagine thinking you beat Hades when you still haven't fought Hades EM4

[dusk comet]

Hera + Crush shot

[dim citrus]

💨

[tight fulcrum]

[hollow jacinth]

What on earth

[dusk comet]

[hollow jacinth]

Why are you speedrunning with EM4 and DC?????

And RI

And BP

Lol

[tight fulcrum]

what in sams hell was this

[dusk comet]

they're a gamer

[hollow jacinth]

And MM!

[dim citrus]

I dunno

It's like 6pm, I'm barely conscious

[dusk comet]

cracked

[hollow jacinth]

Also don't have multiple sources of hangover, it's bad

[dim citrus]

I know

But it was the only Dio boon I could use

[hollow jacinth]

What about tidal dash

[dusk comet]

Ive had a bunch of runs where i have no option but to replace something with dio, happens with him pretty often for me

[hollow jacinth]

Well I guess with RI1 you can't reroll

But why would you ever speedrun with RI, it's literally the worst pact in the game lmao

[dim citrus]

I haven't cleared a run with RI

For the cheevo, I guess

[hollow jacinth]

I mean, you probably already know this but speedruns only use EM2 and FO2

And they don't use ruthless reflex

Or hangover

Just in case you want to go faster

[dim citrus]

Gotcha

[tight fulcrum]

also HC if ur comfortable

[dim citrus]

HC is what again

[hollow jacinth]

High confidence

Instead of thick skin

[dim citrus]

oooohhhh

Ok, ok

makes sense

[hidden surge]

What's EM and FO2?

[hollow jacinth]

Pact options, extreme measures and forced overtime

[dim citrus]

Extreme Measures
Forced Overttime
They're from the Pact

[hidden surge]

I know that much

But yeah I would check this stuff myself but I'm too lazy rn

[left wren]

Extreme measures changes bosses, forced overtime makes enemies faster

If only deadly strike

[lime bane]

Ew.

Heretic.

[hollow jacinth]

So much additive damage

Where multiplicative 😢

[lime bane]

I one-shot pretty much everything. What'd be the point of reducing my damage 85% of the time?

[hollow jacinth]

Because -90% ain't gonna do much when you already have 400%

[lime bane]

It would.

[hollow jacinth]

And crits are funny

[sonic lagoon]

Because big number

[twin karma]

big number good

[violet bloom]

[lunar peak]

my first victoy, fun game

[tiny abyss]

Wewt and Gilamesh! Taht's the last hidden aspect I need and a new best clear time

[lunar peak]

Hilarious run I did a while back.

[hollow jacinth]

Did this end up even working? Surely the special would keep knocking foes outside of it. If not, then thats a lot of damage lol

[lunar peak]

I can DM the vod to you if you want

This was actually a Zeus cast start

[hollow jacinth]

Oh nice

[twin karma]

Not Christ, Lady Aphrodite.

Have you tried trippy flare? Needs a bit more put into it but boy does it chunk

[dusk comet]

Hestia to finish off em4 on all weps :D

[dusk comet]

not even close

[grave vector]

just another farming run that ended up becoming a very nice crystal beam build

[random oriole]

that was really fun thank you

Been trying to get Heat 50 on Gil, on and off, for the past week.
It's just so damn awkward.

Sorry.

[minor widget]

Here you go. Eris with Rocket and Cluster upgrades and Artemis special (+PP). The dream of any speedrunner onto my normie hands.

[violet bloom]

Nice

[minor widget]

And yes, I beat Hades in less than a minute. A crit nets me roughly 840 per, so it was definitely possible to get at least 2520 to a maximum of 4200 per special. Too bad the rarity on the Hermes special wasn't higher.

And yet it still doesn't feel as powerful as when I got Poseidon Dislodge with Artemis Cast, Legendary, and Chaos

[errant notch]

first 5 heat run with rail !!!!

[lunar peak]

Neat run with a bare minimum

[violet bloom]

Nice

[random oriole]

bruh

[tight fulcrum]

i must say ur missing the rush delivery

[minor widget]

Eris Rocket Shotgun again, but with Special Speed Epic

[tight fulcrum]

sir where is the hermes boon luck

[minor widget]

Rush Delivery needs a movement speed buff or the Lambent Plume, didn't have either

[tight fulcrum]

u didnt see hyper sprint?

Sadge

[tawdry radish]

Survived with 9 health by just running away and shooting cast

[dim citrus]

[dusk comet]

Pew gun brr first 20 heat clear :D

[hidden surge]

Fastest time so far!

[dawn egret]

[dim citrus]

Had to retry since I died to Lernie, of all things.

[dusk comet]

That's a really solid build

[zinc lintel]

Dc2 on Hades Spear damb

[inner plover]

Goated

[dusk comet]

sub 11!

[violet bloom]

bruh

[marble plank]

Hey muck why is your victory screen different than the usual one?

[foggy halo]

I can't even get sub 24

[violet bloom]

I bought a theme from the house contractor

[marble plank]

is that something you unlock over time?

[foggy halo]

You can do that?

[random oriole]

You need to buy almost everything from the work orders section

[foggy halo]

Do i need to buy those stupid infernal trove upgrades?

[steel sleet]

yes

[foggy halo]

Chips

[random oriole]

They're not stupid, they're Fun Experiences :angrydad:

Turns out you don’t need Patroclus if you get literally all the good boons in a run

[violet bloom]

[thin pebble]

LETS GO

I WON A GOD RUN

[random oriole]

doing the random loadout challenge on the subreddit

[hidden surge]

Just beat EM4 on my second try! Took up all 3 of my Death Defiances, too.

[brave fulcrum]

From yest

[rich wagon]

the bruh

[brave fulcrum]

Kek

[random oriole]

that's a lot of clears

[brave fulcrum]

It's ok

I died in between those clears

[ember moon]

1st attempt at a super soaker build

was insane in styx but pretty meh for bosses

[brave fulcrum]

Flying door build

Along with boomstick build

[ember moon]

boom stick?

ah the spear special stuff nvm

[tawdry radish]

New PB! Lots of lightning and arrow jank

[brave fulcrum]

Nice

[minor widget]

Came real close to beating my Personal Best. I blame Styx for taking 3 chambers, but all in all, great run. Arthurphus strat ftw (At the highest heat I run too)

[stuck lagoon]

What's arthurphus strat

[brave fulcrum]

Arthur + shackle

[dusk comet]

I do not like gilgamesh at all damn

[brazen adder]

Frozen shotgun not shotgun +I cant die if i do not care about death it self (2 dashes + chaos death defiance)

[ember moon]

Hades straight up melted

[ember moon]

Only thing I regret was passing up on demeter boons in elysium (forgot snow burst was a thing)

Love poseidon sword, 2nd run with it and it was insane, really good build tho

[lunar peak]

poseidon sword + exit wounds

[high crater]

Try it with Ruthless reflex and lambent plume, it’s pretty sweet imo

[lime bane]

Try it with Ruthless Reflex, and think about more focused ways to build it, or maybe ask for some suggestions in #h1-builds-and-combat.

[dusk comet]

I was thinking ME but I've done too many of those, it just felt kinda clunky to me

[fervent night]

it is a bit clunky at first, but you get used to it pretty fast. Or I do at least. Much less clunky than Arthur IMO.

[minor widget]

Most unique run of mine by far. Hera + Ravenous Will. Hold casts and never use them, get free +40% Damage! So everything hinged on the special, which was loaded up with Zeus stuff, and PP. (Like seriously, a clean point blank with these made for 1600 lightning damage, which I could spam with 10% Special Speed from Hermes)

Cleaned rooms, stomped Styx, shotgunned bosses. What more in a build could you want?

[lime bane]

If you shoot all of your Casts at once, they all get the bonus damage from Ravenous Will.

[minor widget]

That as well, but as you can tell, I didn't get any good casts worth the spendature. Was hoping for something like Dionysus or Aphrodite. And I only got the Zeus cast at the styx chambers.

[lime bane]

Phalanx Shot would have done a lot of work. But you'd want Infernal Soul for anything that isn't Trippy Shot on Hera.

[minor widget]

(The proof lies in the levels as well. I only run Pom Blossom and let the game decide what I get mixed and matched with. Zeus cast getting practically no levels since it was practically late game and I had other stuff to buff)

[fervent night]

Look at how stupid this is

[ionic scroll]

first win ever, doing hell mode from the beginning has been rough lol

[steel sleet]

ambitious. nice work

[ionic scroll]

took me 35.5 hours, but its been fun ^.^

that breaching cross talent is amazing

[brazen adder]

Title: If u cant beat it: Spam it!

[odd dust]

I just don't understand how you could finish it in 10 min

Just how...

[ember moon]

Finish what in 10 min?

the game?

[odd dust]

Yeah

Your highscore is 10

[ember moon]

oh dude believe me 10 is ass

I remember when I started

I was getting like 25-30 minute clears

[odd dust]

How

[ember moon]

and thought it was impossible as well, but you get a lot better and faster as player

i think the record length is 5 min 49 seconds

[odd dust]

I once got codex mod and got ton of level 20 heroic boons for speed and fast clears

Still got 15

My fastest clear is 23

[ember moon]

well that 10 minute run, I was actually trying to speedrun

I went with achilles spear for mobility

took every shop and chaos gate I found

and yeah, it was a decent built overall which helped

[violet bloom]

You should see the world record

[ember moon]

5:49?

[violet bloom]

Lemme check

[ember moon]

oh might be 5:32 now

[wintry dagger]

wasnt there some 3 minute run that was routed or something

[odd dust]

Sigh I've been frustrated gamed for 4/5 hours straight

Came back and all the grinding was gone

[wintry dagger]

nah nvm

i dont think that exists

[odd dust]

Didn't save and save file is jot there

[ember moon]

3 min seeded

[violet bloom]

Yeah it is

[ember moon]

crazy

[wintry dagger]

damn

[odd dust]

Ufffff

[violet bloom]

Let's go to #h1-builds-and-combat

[lament furnace]

my first 16 heat win, and sub 20 mins

oof i forgot to use dusa buddy in the fight

def the most op build ive had though

[ember moon]

insane damage again

[violet bloom]

Nice

[tiny abyss]

Forced overtime is no joke

[ember moon]

Absolutely insane run

Chaos offered a plus 1 cast instead of the 69% damage but I'm pretty sure the 69% was better, and it's 69% so come on

[tiny abyss]

Wewt, I think this is the best build I've had so far

[dim citrus]

@mystic wren
Wasn't my best performance since I derped and hung around the lasers and the urns, but still pretty good showing for Doom/Hangover/Weak

[mystic wren]

Better than me by a landslide

[gusty salmon]

how in gods name did you survive 50 heat without stubborn my god

[dim citrus]

It's LC2, not LC4

[gusty salmon]

ah fair enough

[dusk comet]

My gf got the 30% pierced butterfly achievement and was really proud of it, she's a lil shy so posting for her

[dim citrus]

[rich wagon]

nice

[twin fulcrum]

There are certain tricks you need to know for going fast

https://youtu.be/z3Mmoo4oTKU

[coarse quarry]

Stinky rail

[hidden surge]

So I did this on my first run with Arthur

[lunar peak]

yay sub 20

[twin fulcrum]

I just had the craziest build ever

This will take a few screenshots

There was also cluster rockets but I forgot to screenshot them lol

Phase 3 dad lasted 2 seconds

[hollow jacinth]

Lol blade dash

Probably quite good with engulfing vortex and vicious cycle

[odd dust]

thanks

[coarse quarry]

@peak plaza ^

Or any other mod?

[tawny thistle]

maybe I would've used this service if you hadn't have put it somewhere it didn't belong

[coarse quarry]

Prob/def a virus

Should I ping aggy?

[tawny thistle]

only if you think it's important

I'd say go for it

[coarse quarry]

It's in almost every channel but I don't want to ping a second mod

[tawny thistle]

well if you already pinged a mod I guess all we can do is wait

[versed monolith]

@proud umbra

[coarse quarry]

That'll do

[keen charm]

@open leafThese guys need a mod figure parently

i tink guy gone tho

my pinion

[coarse quarry]

Yeah

[proud umbra]

ty for that

[steel pagoda]

short of 1 artemis boon for that legendary could've been 5 cast with mirage shot and stygian soul

[wintry dagger]

happy centinental

[lunar peak]

My first 'hermes would be jealous' run!

clear count still broken idk why

[lime bane]

You've used god mode in some runs, no?

They're tracked separately.

[lunar peak]

ah, that’s probably why. yeah, I used it on some earlier runs and on some beo runs.

thanks for the explanation!

[ember moon]

turned off em4 as I've never tried a crystal beam build and damn was it strong, hades didn't even get a moment to attack, he was already in his next phase

[high crater]

Yeah, it's super cool, didn't think it would be so fun when I tried it

[ember moon]

Me niether

My boons were farely standard, pretty good, but coulda been better so I think I might play it again

It's like slicing shot, on it's own it's pretty bad but the scaling is insane

[brave fulcrum]

ME works on everything

[wintry dagger]

me on arthur

[violet bloom]

Nice

[tiny abyss]

oof I just realized you can pick which boons you're showing. Here's a better view of the build I was using

[violet bloom]

Nice

[tiny abyss]

That divine strike on Guan YU's spin attack is 💋

Then just knock em away while throwing max spin attacks ftw

[marble plank]

[violet bloom]

I wanted to try something out. After gettig heroic crush shot i deccided to go my usual strat and on the way i picked up 3 +1 bloodstone boons form chaos

[brave fulcrum]

that's a lot of bloodstones

[bronze sparrow]

I am almost totally blind and never thought I'd be able to finish a run, let alone start out with the PoP. :) It's not much but I'm proud of myself!

[dim citrus]

[lunar peak]

the pain when you use call and he becomes impervious

[dim citrus]

It happens

Had so much HP that it wasn't too big of an issue, and I didn't have to play perfectly

[lunar peak]

my fastest heroes fight yet

all it took was three hits with the shield

[rich wagon]

bruh

[lunar peak]

actually had a pretty bad start on that run

but asphodel made up for it - i got mirage shot and scint feast in the space of something like 5 rooms

[brave fulcrum]

dang only 2 DDs

[rich wagon]

[rose venture]

Ack I forgot to add blade rift when I dash

[dim citrus]

Careful not to cut yourself with all that edge

[zinc lintel]

[dusk comet]

Absolutely melted hades

[crisp ginkgo]

Literally just whack things 32 heat that made me pick deadly reversal or a defiance. Didn’t need the defiance, but who cares, I won woooo

[strange token]

3-sack still got the w at 55 heat

[sleek ocean]

hit three digits

[steel sleet]

new shield PB but ;_; trying to get sub15 for each weapon if i can

[crisp ginkgo]

if you can get 15 minutes with a shield, you can absolutely get to 14 with the Eris rail. my pb is 12:27 but i average 14 or so

also, smoldering air is my favorite thing ever

[loud minnow]

Got this last night on Switch. Bow is actually pretty damn good

[crisp ginkgo]

congrats on your first win!

[rich wagon]

i was hunting for ME the entire run but failed

also i used my most unused boon in this run

passion dash

also first em3 run

[lean stirrup]

[rich wagon]

poggers

[lean stirrup]

With only 1 DD? amazing

[lean stirrup]

DD?

[brave fulcrum]

death defiance

oh

[lean stirrup]

it’s a lot more helpful for me personally

[rich wagon]

[lean stirrup]

Blade rift only, these do a lot more damage than I gave them credit for

[cobalt bluff]

gg

[stark wing]

Such a fun Chiron run~

[prime nymph]

lucky run

i bought anvil at styx and got triple bomb and targeting system lol

[ivory fjord]

So huge dmg from special/attack, but Call with Athena with 3 (if hit) boons really hurt

17 second heroes fight, courtesy of artemis on cluster rocket

the run went downhill after that - i was about to finish hades' second phase sub-10, but then died to one of his spin attacks

never been more bitter in my entire life

I would say you were never as sour in your life

cause... balsamic, haha

[burnt sky]

@thin talon how did you get that sick border on your victory screen #sojelly

[lime bane]

You can buy themes like that from the House Contractor eventually.

[burnt sky]

@lime bane oh man…what are the pre-reqs? I have been slacking there

And thank you for responding ❤️

[lime bane]

I've no idea tbh, I think you have to do all work orders and have reached the ending? Something like that.

[thin talon]

@burnt sky I have absolutely no idea of how and when you can unlock those. sorry 😛

[solar spade]

All steam achievements! Just in time for the physical release!

Aaaaah this might not mean too much since I have God Mode turned on but AAAAH STILL PROUD OF IT

MORE SKELETON STATUES

[dusk comet]

a win's a win, congrats!!

[grand cradle]

a pity I wasn't able to use Sweet Nectar all too much since it appeared late into the run where I couldn't buy anymore poms from Charon

[grand cradle]

thank you thank you

[ember moon]

40 heat zeus sheild

Really good run

[haughty echo]

It was the First time i got to the surface in like, 20 something runs

[random oriole]

Fidi, huh

[ember moon]

Started off as a charged flight built but ares kept showing up with blade rift stuff

[tight fulcrum]

it sucks that beo cant get hunting blades :C

[dusk comet]

so close to sub 10

[tight fulcrum]

rip no cshot

nice time though

[dusk comet]

yeah the hammers could have been better

[tight fulcrum]

u still got the decent one

sudden rush and ferocious are fine

[dusk comet]

First hammer was pretty meh but I had zeus poseidon and arti in my pool so I kept going

[tight fulcrum]

i dont think u reset hammer for beowulf unless ur going for like sub 6:30 LOL

[dusk comet]

nah

wasnt gonna

[tight fulcrum]

mirage shot absolutely carries having bad hammers on beo

[dusk comet]

100%, absolutely insane on beo

oh well, we go again

[tight fulcrum]

u got this

[zinc lintel]

Sea storm doesn’t actually proc off of Flood Flare 😔

It’ll proc off your shield attacks that knock enemies back tho

[dusk comet]

oh it doesnt? Got it cuz wr gets it

seemed intentional at least

gonna get zeus anyway though for billowing

[lime bane]

Only the bestest.

[ember moon]

Insane run with zag bow

[hollow jacinth]

Crazy build. Not shown is smoldering air, pommed epic jolted, pommed epic mark and heart rend.

[fluid bloom]

wow i've made it to the surface twice in 7.5 hrs of gameplay 😭

yesterday i almost won but i just narrowly missed it, hades had like 30% hp

[violet bloom]

nice

[primal crown]

Nice

[crisp ginkgo]

Onion eater?

[lime bane]

Yup.

[violet bloom]

[lime bane]

Means Zagreus at two or more onions in the run.

[crisp ginkgo]

Ah, yeah I only Erebus in the last room since I usually lose lol

[primal crown]

shotouts to eurydice hitting rush delivery

[violet bloom]

[haughty echo]

Kinda sucks i cant really post screenshot with decent quality since in on ps4.

[twin karma]

NeMEsis 32

[hollow jacinth]

Remember, all speedrunners/high heat players thought the same thing

If you keep playing the game and practicing, there's nothing stopping you

[crisp ginkgo]

welcome! I cleared 32 heat on my 231st attempt, and dont regret at all the fact ive played this much

[crisp ginkgo]

i just post photos of my tv

it works well enough

PC elitists have given me a hard time for doing that, but never on this server 🙂

[twin karma]

big number comes with practice

[dusk comet]

congrats on getting big number

[primal crown]

Should have cleared it for the 200 total clears

[jade marlin]

yessir! i started today, and i dont think i will be stopping lol, i already know i have just scratched the surface of this game, even tho i am 20 runs in

[keen vigil]

I got this game 2 days ago and get a 3 win streak after my first clear lmao

[violet bloom]

Nice

[amber crest]

best starter weapon?

[tight fulcrum]

#h1-builds-and-combat

[lunar peak]

chiron bow, probably

although you do need one titan blood to unlock it, but to get that, you just have to get past the first boss - that can be done with any weapon

[keen vigil]

Problem with Chiron bow is that it sucks when not maxed

[lunar peak]

yeah i guess

if you find relentless volley it'll sort of make up for it

[eager cairn]

my second attempt at a 16 heat run :D
skelly statue is mine!

[violet bloom]

Nice

[strong musk]

First time trying out Extreme Measures 4 and I got a win! Hot damn is that Hades fight stressful, but fun.

[loud minnow]

Thanks ^^ No luck on PS5 so far. But I've been trying for First Attempt/Fresh File clear

[crisp ginkgo]

man i should try that too

[loud minnow]

I don't care about speedrunning or doing it seamlessly so I Give Up whenever I lose too much health. I'm at the final boss right now, just can't get the timing down even though I know what to do.

[crisp ginkgo]

whats your plan? ME?

[ionic scroll]

Second clear ever 😄

[sand hearth]

[ionic scroll]

again, bow ❤️

[keen vigil]

you basically won the game after picking up relentless volley lol

[ionic scroll]

yeah, was so much easier after that one 😄

[sonic lagoon]

EM4 Perfect clear!

[loud minnow]

Yep

[keen thicket]

Idk how good this is but I passed 50 clears recently including EM4 with all melee weapons (as in all but coronacht and exagryph)

don't know how to get screenshots from my switch onto my pc

[primal crown]

Go to settings > data something (sorry dont know the word ww) manage screenshots and videos > copy to pc with usb connection

[twin karma]

You can also send it to your phone with the option when viewing there screenshot then send it from there

[keen thicket]

Ohhh yeah that's more convenient

I'll show some in a bit

[keen vigil]

FYI, doesn't work with android 11

[peak viper]

first EM4 clear and first time using lucifer aspect too, what a weird gun and clear

[brave fulcrum]

It wrecks

[vivid oracle]

And that's shield done.

[royal sphinx]

420 gold

blaze

boom stick gud

[hidden surge]

This is technically a Disciple of Dionysus run, right?

[hollow jacinth]

You need the legendary for that clear message

[hidden surge]

One of them was legendary iirc

Pretty sure Boon Purger takes message priority

[hollow jacinth]

Blackout is the legendary boon

[hidden surge]

Oooh

Wait I was mixed up

Yellow tier, right?

[hollow jacinth]

Yellow/orange, yes

[hidden surge]

That's why. Makes sense now

[hollow jacinth]

I was gonna say "so much damage", then I looked at passion flare level 2

[worldly tundra]

8 heat on the reddit random loadout challenge. Bleh, I really don't like the fists

BEYBLADE BUILD

[ember moon]

Haven't played eris in a while

it's just too strong

also huge blade dash damage

[dim citrus]

Note to Self:
Stop gambling on the Anvil.

[hollow jacinth]

Hazard flurry piercing

What a combo

[dusk comet]

hazard bomb eris

[minor widget]

MY FIRST SUB 15 MINUTE RUN LET'S GOOOO

Was one step away from literal perfection. Even got the boon combination that Haelian mentioned in his video. Cluster Bomb was the missing hammer, and the other options were not that great so I opted for the added ammo and accuracy. Side note? I see why Eris is so favored among runners, but it feels like the hammer options make or break the run, so I cannot find it being all that fun honestly.

[tight fulcrum]

hammer combinations on eris definitely dont make or break the run

clockets only matter when ur going for sub 6:30 imo

eris is probably the least hammer reliant speed weapon in the game unless ur going for like sub 6

[zinc lintel]

Clockets are just really good at dealing with awful rooms

They’ll add to the consistency of Eris but definitely aren’t required

[muted knoll]

So its not much but at 3 heat decided to turn off god mode... Got my first clear with it off

[zinc lintel]

Congrats

[tight fulcrum]

nice nice

[muted knoll]

Its a good way to start off my vacation for sure

[brave fulcrum]

This was fun

And the I lost like 3 times in a row

This means business build

[random oriole]

local boy too tanky to timeout

[dusk comet]

How much was your call hitting for?

[dim citrus]

Just felt like it

[zinc lintel]

That’s a lot of boons for Olympian Favor and CF2

Also what is Souvla Snacker

[dim citrus]

Noooo idea

It overrode Favoured and Envied tho

[zinc lintel]

I don’t remember seeing that ever before idk if it’s even on the wiki

[solar wind]

It measns 65+ Meals taken..

[dim citrus]

Ahhh

[zinc lintel]

That’s a lot of food

[dim citrus]

[solar wind]

^ Dunno where you get all that stuff in a single run again and again.

Anyway, how did 1-Dash Em4 feel?

[dim citrus]

The usual?

I don't get the question

[solar wind]

Well you don't have 100% Dodge this time. Only the occasional 50 from Ruthless and the ~30 from Second Wind. Wasn't that what carried you previously?

[dim citrus]

Ooohhh. It's alright

I mean, it's hard, but it's 50 Heat

[random oriole]

around 110? Can't remember

[winged fiber]

Should be more I think

[random oriole]

if I plugged into the pom spreadsheet right it should be 127

[winged fiber]

Maybe

[random oriole]

only 1 way to find out and I'm not trying it intentionally

[limpid carbon]

Disgusten

[violet bloom]

[tight fulcrum]

3 sack triple darkness Sadge

was like a 3:46 aspho exit

[random oriole]

nice best heats lineup

[tight fulcrum]

[twin karma]

never tried high heat?

[tight fulcrum]

once

hestia

i timed out in tart at 32 heat

wasted about 15 minutes contemplating whether to get rocket hazard or ricochet

[urban verge]

👌

[minor widget]

Merciful End + Vengeful Mood? Yes please, free Privilege Debuffs for everyone!

[vivid oracle]

And Rail clear

[minor widget]

More beyblade run. This time, Achilles Hunting Blades with Legendary Ares.

[twin karma]

I wanted to do a meme run with luci ares attack and stack a bunch of doom with fire misfortune, I did not see a second Ares

[fleet halo]

doomed ares out of the pool

[twin karma]

Decided to try out some speedy 32

[brave fulcrum]

this is the most fun I've had with Lucifer

which is funny cause I'm a christian kek

[hidden surge]

So this happened lmao

[brave fulcrum]

so uh

I got all the gods

in a run

by accident

[primal crown]

45% family favourite

[twin karma]

priv stat who

[rough kite]

rusty AF after not playing for 3 months

[dusky nacelle]

Where was this build when I was attempting 32 heat??

[brave fulcrum]

Not there apparently

[dusky nacelle]

Hunting Blades, Greater Recall AND Vicious Cycle

Shred everything

[fickle moth]

Full Demeter and Full life

[jade lantern]

wow

[brave fulcrum]

my hands are tired

[royal sphinx]

This is how you DELETE things in Hades. 1 shot dad phases, 7 second heros fight.

[tight fulcrum]

ooh

nice dio beo

[royal sphinx]

I like how Theseus said, Gods up- HOW COULD YOUU!!!

Flying door indeed is best weapon.

[ionic scroll]

slowly but steady im getting weapon after weapon to complete the run 😄

[dusk comet]

Hell mode too! Nice!!

[ionic scroll]

yeah, figured id try hell as i started this game since id probably switch over later when i learned the game. Might aswell start with hellmode instantly

[brave fulcrum]

commendable

[astral crow]

First timer, lets do it

Got him once...

[brave fulcrum]

Flying door prevails once more

[tight fulcrum]

why shadow prescence?

Hestia bestia!

[violet bloom]

[ember moon]

what mod(s)?

[hollow jacinth]

Its a modpack designed for speedrunning

Guaranteed 2 sack, no barge/Asterius miniboss/vermin, can't get "Vorimed", fountain rooms have a preview, and you can determine your first hammer

I think that's everything

[ember moon]

I'm not really in the speedrunning community

so what is: getting vorimed"

[tight fulcrum]

when u roll for the first boon

and dont get it

[ember moon]

So it's cheating without cheating

[hollow jacinth]

Getting vorimed is when you aren't offered the boon you want in chamber 1 even after spending all rerolls

[tight fulcrum]

it happened at vorimes GDQ event

[ember moon]

OOOF

[tight fulcrum]

so we call it getting vorime'd

about a 1/66 chance i think

[hollow jacinth]

Sort of, you still need to play well, it just removes some of the annoying RNG

1/64

[ember moon]

Is banana spear dionysus cast on achillies with the zeus duo?

[tight fulcrum]

what no?

its just achilles spear

the tip looks like two banana's

[ember moon]

Oh bruh, LMAO

Idk why I thought it was dio cast, someone said that before

that does sound like a fun build now that I think about it

[tight fulcrum]

keggers is quite the build

i cant aim trippy shot because im on controller and aiming hord so if im gonna take a cast and actually use it its gotta be hunting blades or crystal clarity

and we should probably move this to #h1-builds-and-combat or #h1-discussion LOL

[ember moon]

Yeah trippy shot on controller is hard af

sure #h1-builds-and-combat

[faint glade]

First run ever completed, using fists for the first time ever. I'm excited, mostly because I punched my father in the face until he submitted. Thank the Gods for + Damage to Bosses and Death Defy.

[wintry kite]

did my first clear on ps5 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E88AMw7XsAg9t26?format=jpg&name=4096x4096
