[full radish]

I kept getting centaur hearts, so I had 110 max

I used all 4 of my death defiances lol

[next forum]

I got my first clear with cursed slash on zag sword

Used every dd and almost had a stroke

[full radish]

With the default ones only giving me a bit of hp, Hades' big spin attack insta-killed both of my remaining default dds

I love how strong aspect of Poseidon is with exit wounds and max-level mirror upgrade that gives you more casts

Cause it stacks with each cast stone in the enemy

300 bonus damage per nova smash

[shrewd sail]

the hidden aspect of stygius is soo cool. without spoiling it, i cant say much

[full radish]

How do you unlock it?

Okay google had enlightened me

[shrewd sail]

first, you have to unlock the spear's hidden aspect, which is one of the random dialogues of Achilles. then, eventually, nyx will reveal the sword's aspect

oh

theres also a youtube vid, i can send you a link

its for all of the hidden aspects

[full radish]

It says that to get the hidden aspect for the spear, I have to invest 5 titan blood into non-zagreus aspects and then talk to Achilles

[shrewd sail]

pretty much, yeah

just keep progressing, and it will all come in time

[full radish]

Ye

[primal crown]

is on #h1-story-discussion pins anyway

[shrewd sail]

oh cool

ima check that out

[random oriole]

tried getting a meme build, didn't get it, got this instead

I’m doing egg run now

[random oriole]

Lady Aphrodite's Love Roulette. Could possibly be even more intense with Smoldering Aphrodite's Aid

[random oriole]

pretty sure this run had more luck than some of my non-AP2 ones...

[primal crown]

[random oriole]

Tartarus Exclusive Access. not kidding.

[hollow jacinth]

Why do I always get good builds and 2 sacks on my hellmode save

Hyper delivery with no rolls

[zinc lintel]

That’s a lean build

[brave fulcrum]

I assume those chaos curse were hidden chamber preview

[zinc lintel]

That’s without UC too wait you just never picked up any boons lmao

You also only have 245 health what did you pick up

[primal crown]

they are also running olympian favor

[zinc zephyr]

almost 2 weeks since ive been playing and i got an under 20 min run 😄 need to start running with more conditions but i havent even unlocked any final aspects for the weapons

[lunar peak]

Beat the game for the first time. Only done 17 runs.

No aspect on The Fists either.

[rich wagon]

nice

[lapis whale]

Tried out Hera aspect for the first time. The damage you can rack up on the blade rifts is INSANE

And my fastest time yet!

[shrewd sail]

blade rifts are cool, but what about six of posiedon's cast along with double shot

https://discordapp.com/channels/456889434672201729/725021639506526249/879868895840862218

[lapis whale]

Damn, that's nuts!

[lunar peak]

lmao this is only my second clear without god mode! i didn't realise that

[hollow raven]

Was practicing Forced Overtime and got my first sub 20 by accident

[violet bloom]

Nice

[livid ibex]

getting better yet

sorry i love the shield 😭

[crisp ginkgo]

No apology necessary kill your dad however makes you happy @livid ibex

[dusk comet]

sub-15 32 heat :D

[primal crown]

[dusk comet]

I thought fists would take longer/more tries

especially considering I got ME in the shop before the heroes

[violet bloom]

nice

[rich wagon]

rama moment

[dusk comet]

pretend the message is perfect clear cuz 0 damage taken

just hades fight, took damage in other places

[severe jungle]

First personal shield 34 heat, second 34 I’ve ever gotten. I got insane luck this run, including an epic greatest reflex and epic deadly strike that wouldn’t even fit in the victory screen. Also it was a 4-sack. @nocturne creek

I’m definitely enjoying Beowulf, although I’m still pretty bad with it

Lmao

[nocturne creek]

Sweet dude

[severe jungle]

Thanks

[median bloom]

this was a fun one!

[crisp ginkgo]

if you beat 34 heat you arent bad at it

[severe jungle]

Maybe that’s true, but I still am pretty slow and I feel like my insane boon and hammer luck kinda carried me (along with the absurd power of Mirage Shot on Beo)

[zinc lintel]

reminder that the game devs only made an achievement for 16 heat because they thought 32 was unreasonable for most people

so if you're doing more than 32 heat you deserve a pat on the back

[crisp ginkgo]

yeet

[vivid oracle]

And yet they added a statue that requires 32.

[zinc lintel]

But they made the conscious choice to not put a steam achievement that requires that statue

[hollow jacinth]

No steam achievement

[zinc lintel]

only the second one

[vivid oracle]

Oh, I didn't know that (I play on Switch)

[severe jungle]

Well the devs also didn’t intend for Mirage Shot to double your cast damage with Beo, since afaik that’s literally a bug

[hollow jacinth]

They are aware of it and haven’t fixed it, idk if its a bug at this point

[zinc lintel]

That's not really relevant tho

[hollow jacinth]

Same with clockets

[severe jungle]

Yeah I was a bit of a joke lol

[zinc lintel]

I doubt if they knew it existed that they would be like "oh 32 is free then just play beo and get mirage shot lol" and then add an achievement for it

Ok that's fair

[severe jungle]

I know it’s relatively impressive to get 34 heat with Beo, I just feel that I’m not very good with the aspect right now. Not in a self-deprecating way, just that I have a lot of room to improve with the aspect

[hollow jacinth]

I know what you mean

You feel like your general hades skill carries you to victory rather than your specific Beowulf skill?

[severe jungle]

Yeah

Same with my Rama runs

I’m not very good with specific aspects since I never really specialized

Although especially with Beo I’m very very slow even though it’s a fast aspect

[lavish locust]

I’m pretty bad so I’m genuinely shocked I got past ||Cerberus|| with this. (Idk if spoilers are allowed 😅)

[median bloom]

I feel like I'm getting better and enjoying the game so much lately 🙂

[dusk comet]

32 heat all weapons done!

[violet bloom]

Nice

[shrewd sail]

how do you get that border around the stats?

[dusk comet]

From the contractor, not sure when it unlocks

XD ended up alright though

[shrewd sail]

tidal dash? mirage shot?

why pos so low

also that should probs go to #h1-builds-and-combat along with this convo

they posted that list like, everywhere lol

[crisp ginkgo]

my dude has yet to Eris rail with Zeus I see

[dusk comet]

I sed you're not a melee guy

[primal crown]

i just dont like eris rail enough to do more than the sub 10/32 heat lol

i like them but not enough to push more than casual runs

[violet bloom]

Nice

[hollow jacinth]

I've basically never played Eris casually

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU DID IT!

[simple atlas]

i love that drawing

thanks i got it from tumblr

[dark jewel]

Bro thats amazing lol

[steel sleet]

congrats dude!

@keen steppe please post fanart in #fan-works, and dont forget to credit the artist with a link if the art is not yours!

[keen steppe]

OH WOOPS SORRY

[dark jewel]

You done goofed up

[next forum]

I have the wrong ones showing but I got sea storm and beat my fastest time

[stable kestrel]

maxchill. i'm just glad i managed to win with Guan Yu for the first time

[steel sleet]

aa first fists sub 15! i took over 4 minutes in tartarus and no god boons at all so i was just planning to go slow. i had good luck!!

[stable kestrel]

damn, that's a ton of call synergy

[solid comet]

First sub 20 the hangover was ticking for over 150

[real heron]

Really, this was "Aspect of Smoldering Poseidon's Aid with Rip Current, with a topping of Aphrodite's dash-strikes against armoured enemies"

And this is about how the quest for the summer challenge has gone. 😆 I did get Poseidon't legendary recently... on Chiron. I keep meaning to switch to Authority and forgetting.

[crisp ginkgo]

this is how i beat my first ever 32 heat run

its so fun

its like, mario kart, except you have a star for like 2/3 of the time

[real heron]

Nice! That's awesome.

Yes, Smoldering Rip Current is super fun. I'd never done it with Gilgamesh before (I don't do a lot of Gilgamesh), and combining it with Maim really put out a ton of damage on bosses...

[crisp ginkgo]

mine was Eris rail, same concept haha

i ended up using it more as a panic button than offensively (especially because i took em4 like a dingus)

looking back on it, wow, i was more afraid of LC4 than EM4 lol

[real heron]

Eh, you had fun and you did it!

[crisp ginkgo]

yeehaw

[real heron]

Also, I love EM4. 🙂

[crisp ginkgo]

i blew it v dad with 40 heat achilles w hunting blades

tried again

lost to meg

feels bad

i should try it w blizzard shot

[real heron]

Dying in Tartarus is a fact of life, in my limited experience. Nothing to feel bad about.

[crisp ginkgo]

yeah, i was holding out for a demeter or ares to show up

neither did

then got stuck with a dionysus attack

just didnt work out that time

[rich wagon]

might wanna move to #h1-discussion

[nocturne creek]

This was a little while ago but it’s some cool zag bow action

With point blank, twin, and flurry shot

[severe jungle]

Yeah that’s pretty funny

Flurry shot twin shot actually looks really fun

[severe jungle]

Really proud of this one. It’s my first ever 36 heat run with one of my favorite aspects (and imo the strongest in the game). The best part is that it wasn’t even very close. There were a few Elysium rooms with armored speeder chariots (that’s where I lost the extra DD Athena gave me) that gave me some trouble but even then I never really felt like I might lose it. Champions fight usually gives me a really hard time but I breezed through it without even using a Stubborn Defiance.
Not highlighted in this image but very helpful to the build were:

• 45% double strike
• 50% rush delivery with hyper sprint
• 34% attack from Chaos
• 36% life affirmation that I picked up real early
• 4% attack damage from

[royal sphinx]

32 isnt that bad, it was my 4th try?

I have a long way to go

23's pretty good, especially if you're starting out

[zinc lintel]

23 is pretty great for

checks build

Lightning strike Arthur

[hollow jacinth]

Oh I just saw that lol

Actually lightning strike anything is solid if you just get jolted

I have a 8:5x Hestia with lightning strike the whole way

[zinc lintel]

He did in fact find 0 more Zeus boons after lightning strike tho

[hollow jacinth]

Yeah, that's not ideal

[zinc lintel]

Olympian favor moment

Anvil gaming

That’s a really good anvil tho what was the hammer that stayed?

[violet bloom]

oh yeah thats a really good anvil

[nocturne creek]

Rocket

[zinc lintel]

Man gambled on an anvil with rocket bomb that’s crazy

Respect

[slim mesa]

You're a madman and a legend for doing it

Very nice clear my man you have my respect

[nocturne creek]

Thanks everyone

[runic breach]

First clear with Arthur, first time not using any defiances

[slim mesa]

Holy Excalibur is insanely strong

[dusk comet]

yay 40 heat!

I only died twice too I think, went super well

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

[wintry dagger]

seeing lightening strike on arthur pains me

[lime bane]

There are plenty of viable builds.

[runic breach]

works well with the legendary 🤷‍♂️

[violet bloom]

Nice

[severe jungle]

[dusk comet]

congrats!

[severe jungle]

7:55 is pretty sick even if it a small improvement

[nocturne creek]

Lighting attack is good for weapons that get in a lot of hits like fists or rail, for weapons that do a lot of damage in slower hits, percentage based damage are your best bet

[zinc lintel]

They didn't even get jolted 😔

[hollow jacinth]

Might want to use fiery presence, rail special cannot backstab and the bonus to attack is negligible, with fiery presence you can one shot enemies with rocket bomb more easily

Congrats tho, that's some Asphodel exit time

[primal crown]

congrats

[nocturne creek]

Ooo idek that, I’m definitely gonna switch it going forward

[hollow jacinth]

Congrats! Plenty of time to spare as well

[keen steppe]

Guys how do I learn how to swim fast five easy steps

[hollow jacinth]

Maybe ask in another channel

[keen steppe]

It’s to late I already drowned

That bit was really dumb

[desert lava]

Most overpowered run ive ever had with no heat

[severe jungle]

First-tried Zeus shield 32 heat! I barely ever play this aspect! This was actually my third ever Zeus shield run (3 for 3 btw). The best part is that it wasn’t very close either. The closest I ever got to death was in Asphodel where I was at 22 health with no DD. Took me until Styx to get Smoldering Air but it helped an insane amount for the Hades fight. Another aspect joins 32 heat gang!
Not highlighted in the image but very helpful to the build were:

• 35% double strike
• Sudden rush
• 24% billowing strength
• 68% heartbreak strike

[crisp ginkgo]

Yeeeeet good stuff

Did you notice fiery presence or not really

[severe jungle]

Nah, I should have went with shadow probably but it wouldn’t have made a huge difference

[hollow raven]

Very nice

[crisp ginkgo]

Yeah, that’s what o was thinking. Congrats!

[hollow raven]

Did the Summertime (aka broseidon) Challenge 🙂

[craggy musk]

32 heat done on every weapon! finally

[severe jungle]

Yo that’s sick!! Congrats!

[lapis pendant]

Fun run

[mortal briar]

Just cleared for the first time on attempt 15! Feeling pretty good :D

[median bloom]

it was so sloww but i felt good, didnt even use up my acorn on final boss 🙂

[median bloom]

Thank you very much

[median bloom]

another one bites the dust

[random oriole]

hell bow bounties done :3

[crisp ginkgo]

So that just happened

[wintry dagger]

bruh

[fleet halo]

imagine getting pranked by poseidon and getting 0 mirage shots

also first 32 🎊

[primal crown]

Congrats!

[simple atlas]

my first bow clear ever!

heat 1

[severe jungle]

Rama 38, new heat PB! I know I’m posting a lot here but I am absolutely on a roll! Yet another Smoldering Air run, because that boon is absurd. Also another run where Touch of Styx Dark helped an absurd amount (and another run I would have lost if I had gotten a 3-sack since I wouldn’t have been able to have ToSD for Hades).
Not highlighted in this image but very helpful to the build were:

• 50% rush delivery with hyper sprint
• 22% billowing strength
• 60 damage static discharge
• 10% broken resolve
• 20% sweet surrender

[severe jungle]

Nice BotW poster

[crisp ginkgo]

Thanks 🙂

[worldly tundra]

so Poseidon SHREDS

[simple atlas]

congrats!

[crisp ginkgo]

im seeing a LOT of heroic boons here - am i making a mistake taking poms over rarity upgrades from eurydice

i basically never take rarity and only get heroic when i get a rare crop

[dusk comet]

nah, rarity is usually just a pom or so difference. I only really take it if I have few boons/build is mostly done

nectar stronk

[severe jungle]

Don’t take rarity from Eurydice unless you’re trying to get it to hit Greatest Reflex but even then it’s usually not worth it

[worldly heath]

I'm so sorry about send not final screen but i cant send photo in the diffrent channel. What is this?

Charon room?

[subtle adder]

Erebus Gate. You can get in them when you crank up the Heat

[worldly tundra]

Specialised build (which this was - I wanted to hit True Shot) = Rarity

Diverse build (most builds) = Poms

Build needs something else to come alive = Nectar

and it hit Side Hustle, which, cool, cash

I think I hit attack like four times in the entire run

[primal crown]

Needed to get hermes lock so why not
100% dodge chance build
(Rip my dio cast bc i mashed and artemis exchanged it)

[ember moon]

[vast thistle]

beat Theseus and Asterius with the sword for the first time! it was suprisingly easy. although i do have a good setup and know the fight very well from other weapons

[vast thistle]

eyy first victory with the sword. its my least favorite weapon but i barely managed to beat hades. lost my last death defiant just before i beat him lol

[twin karma]

Decided to try 32 speedruns on Talos 4 sack :(

[rich wagon]

hmm

[fossil jewel]

Got a bad photo

[rich wagon]

ah

[fossil jewel]

I'll have it posted again

Playing on switch so the process of moving screenshots is REALLY slow and annoying

Better to legit just take a photo of my TV

yes

Decided to try a cast based build with the Dio/Dem duo boon. The results were gloriously brutal.

Played on EM3, no other mods

Ice Wine is BUSTED

Did you anvil with triple shot?

[azure hornet]

Super fun, super easy build, just hit walls with cast , throw out special and return it and run up and down each room!

[zinc lintel]

level 5 double strike 👀

[brave fulcrum]

lightning doesn't strike twice

but when they do

you sure as hell it's from Zeus

[severe jungle]

I did, since my other hammer was something useless (I think sniper shot)

[zinc lintel]

Well you anviled into sniper chain so that kinda sucked but at least you kept triple

[severe jungle]

Yeah I was looking for relentless volley

[half turret]

2nd attempt at heat 32

[hollow jacinth]

Wow sick build

[violet bloom]

Nice

[ember moon]

Barely did it

[hollow jacinth]

Wow sick build

[ember moon]

Thanks, started off as a heart rend run but when zeus showed up with a heroic thunder flourish it was too good to pass up

[violet bloom]

Nice

[half turret]

also 100% achievements 🙂

[violet bloom]

Nice

[vital kayak]

you have to change your handle to perfect now 😔

[half turret]

i'll change it if i beat heat64 which i'll nvr attempt xD

[severe jungle]

This one was really absurd. I’ve been on a roll of Smoldering Air runs recently, and this one is the most carried of all. My damage output with pretty bad (partly because I put 6 poms onto a non-damaging call), but my call was so incredibly strong. This build was truly hilarious. Also a new heat pb with Zeus because why not?
Not highlighted in this image but very helpful to the build were:

• 30% second wind (actually a huge help)
• 70% heartbreak strike
• 20% sweet surrender

That’s some gaming holy hell

[violet bloom]

yeah, im a gamer

[zinc lintel]

Are you gonna do 50 speeds?

[violet bloom]

absolutely not

[zinc lintel]

I mean that pact can probably work if you can get a 12:29 with JS3 CP2 you could throw on hell mode and put it down to CP1

You don’t need to do the AP2 RI2 suffering

Big still gaming nonetheless

offensive dash helps in Styx

that's for sure

but game turbo trolled me by only offering demeter boons

only got to finish heart rend in styx 🤏

[wintry dagger]

chiron in styx isnt that bad(?)

[fleet halo]

special keeps hitting walls

[lavish locust]

Got my first win with heat and stubborn defiance

[fleet halo]

nice

[crisp ginkgo]

If your special can be dumbfired and one shot rats, or you have a strong dash, but it’s not the most friendly

[twin karma]

If your too close special arrows will miss

And Styx is very small

[lime lark]

Finally beat 32 heat on all weapons!
B E A M

[violet bloom]

[lime lark]

Other critical boons were double-edge and a ton of dashes

[lunar peak]

my first sub 20 I feel like god

[crisp ginkgo]

Handheld is basically 7 heat so yay me

[violet bloom]

Nice

[brave fulcrum]

this was fun

[crisp ginkgo]

Just bought the 25000 darkness cosmetic yeet

[sinful locust]

Definitely most fun cast run I've ever had. Poseidon aspect, 6 casts with Flurry Cast, Phalanx shot bouncing everywhere, 720 dmg from Exit Wounds when I special, Casts automatically come back so they dont get stuck stupidly

Like I literally can't think what could make this a more fun cast run

[crisp ginkgo]

naisu

[lunar peak]

my first victory

[brave fulcrum]

a very zeus run, a nice double strike

[crisp ginkgo]

What aspect? Good stuff! Em4 too!

[primal crown]

I see chiron aspect

[crisp ginkgo]

Good eye thanks i have not the best vision plus phone screen

[brave fulcrum]

Don't actually use zeus on chiron

It's pretty crap

I just did it for fun

[fervent night]

Use zeus+posideon tho

Sea storm stronk

[severe jungle]

I finally did it. 40 heat Rama, and my 100th win in my streak. Nyaanyaa was telling me that Ares special and Curse of Vengeance are actually good and I was stuck with Ares so I was like “fine I’ll try it” and then I won but I do not attribute it to those boons. I honestly think I just played really really well, although Divine Dash was also very helpful and I don’t often get that. Anyway, super sick run. I’m really pumped about it. That is all

[primal crown]

Congrats!

[paper creek]

Beat EM4 for the first time

[hollow jacinth]

Good old 3.456× movement speed

And no RD

[violet bloom]

[rich wagon]

how does one even get this fast

with beo

[hollow jacinth]

Use very strong casts very frequently

Beowulf holds the record for nearly every speedrunning record, and is also consistently used in multi-wep categories

[rich wagon]

time to watch some speedruns with beo

becuse i suck with it

[violet bloom]

git gud

[rich wagon]

on it

[worldly heath]

Splash poseidon + zeus combo is a little disgusting, 0-5 heat, for sure.

[violet bloom]

nice

[rich wagon]

nice

[zinc lintel]

Thunder Flare

[nocturne creek]

Beat my PB !

[hollow jacinth]

Might be the greatest Tartarus end shop I've ever seen

[nocturne creek]

Yeah I didn’t even have to roll!

[sharp kestrel]

I DID IT!!!!

That last fight is intense hahaha

[nocturne creek]

Nice!

[sharp kestrel]

That was my 1st clear 🙂

Only my 24th attempt. I’m pretty happy with that

[nocturne creek]

Wow…. I think it took me 89

[sharp kestrel]

You beat it though, that’s all that matters 👍🏻

I personally think playing Diablo3 helped me with this game. Demon Hunter was my favorite class and all I’d do is vault around.
As weird as it sounds

[severe jungle]

How does he do it

[violet bloom]

lmao

[dusk comet]

[runic breach]

Cast much?

[zinc lintel]

Lookin like routed there

[violet bloom]

Shut

[zinc lintel]

No charged tho

[crisp ginkgo]

@lime bane I guess lady Aphrodite has forgiven me

Also cluster bomb and delta chamber off an anvil didn’t hurt

[lime bane]

I don't see a Disciple of Aphrodite title.

[crisp ginkgo]

How do you even get anything besides death defier running SD lol

[lime bane]

It doesn't have priority, so it's just RNG.. or just don't die so much.

[ember moon]

Finally got my 40 heat fists win with good ol' merciful end

[worldly heath]

Auto-drunk-attack-crit

[crisp ginkgo]

gotta go fast-ish

[lean fulcrum]

semi broken laser run

[sharp kestrel]

Put on the 9 minute time limit, I cant believe I was able to do this lmfao

I just wanted to see how I’d do 😂

My 2nd clear! And both today

[dusk comet]

Congrats! What were you up to in those 68 minutes?

[sharp kestrel]

Clear wise? That was my first ever

[dusk comet]

Congrats, hope you enjoy the game :POGGERS:

[sharp kestrel]

I absolutely LOVE this game. The Greek Gods and all the lore with this absolutely fascinates me. Hands down my favorite part of history

[dusk comet]

Oh yeah, it's really interesting. There's like a 3.5h video that goes into depth on all the lore for all the characters and everything, but it does have a lot of spoilers for the game so I'd hold off on it for a little bit

[sharp kestrel]

Ooo, thanks for that! I’ll definitely check that out eventually 🙂

[mystic wadi]

First clear pog

21st time’s the charm

[dusk comet]

21 is pretty quick, nice!

[latent narwhal]

First clear today + 2 more in a row on different wep wow

[tiny abyss]

Beat it on Hell mode on my 4th try 😁

[steel sleet]

first em4!

[primal crown]

Got 4 sack

[violet bloom]

Nice

[fickle moth]

is a victory for my

[sharp kestrel]

OMFG

I GOT A CLEAR WITH THE 4 !!!

First try!!!!

My hands are shaking so bad

[lunar peak]

Second victory, this time with the bow

[brave fulcrum]

congrats

[spring ingot]

Close call i had from back in the day

[random oriole]

hell-EM4 - just out-DPS dad

[tawdry radish]

I took a break for 2 weeks and came back and shook off the rust with a few deaths and my first Exagryph clear.

[lavish locust]

This aspect was really fun

[twin karma]

Use Stygian of your going with trippy flare

Waiting for the fog to go away takes forever

Stygian takes half the time

You just need to get an extra cast from chaos

[fervent night]

Doesn't artimes also give extra casts?

[random oriole]

yes but it's layers of rng

[twin karma]

Yeah but it’s not great to bank on

Especially on Beo because you can’t get exit wounds which is one of the three prereqs which you need two of

[crisp ginkgo]

Artemis legendary is a myth

but like, even in the context of a game about gods

[vast thistle]

I got it once. 5 demeter Casts with dem/arty duo on Hades' fight is AMAZING lol

[crisp ginkgo]

haha that sounds super fun

i try to shoot for mirage shot if i hit glacial glare and arctic blast (effectively like, doubles to triples your beam power based on how many beams you have up)

that one run where i had stygian and a level 8 glacial glare (12 seconds more) and mirage...mmm

the thirty i didnt, less awesome

[iron sparrow]

I got a really funny meme beam run 4 casts on stygian soul lasers never ran out

i also got a rare boon from hermes that recharges my casts a lot faster

[random oriole]

that theme always makes me think of beer froth

[iron sparrow]

looks like tree sap to me xD

[random oriole]

tree sap beer

[vivid oracle]

Posseidon + Exit Wounds is fun.

[severe jungle]

This is a crazy one. @nocturne creek was urging me to speedrun, and when I saw my current seed had Chamber 1 Spread Fire, I said I’d give it a try. This my my second run on the seed, and it beat my old PB by more than two minutes. I got absolutely absurd luck. 3 Chaos gates, 2 fountain chambers, all 3 story rooms, 2-sack, timer room in Tartarus, Thanatos. I also got Barge. Anyway, absolutely insane run. I’m not amazing at Spread Fire Zag Rail (I definitely lost some time attacking nothing or forgetting to reload). I’m still really really happy about it.

Oh btw this was my second run on the seed

[hollow jacinth]

Congrats! Love to see zag rail spread fire

[nocturne creek]

Congrats man super prouda u

[severe jungle]

You gonna one-up me with an even faster time? You can’t let me stay on top with my stupid spread fire zag rail run

[nocturne creek]

We’ll see

[severe jungle]

I’d genuinely love to see it

[grave vector]

just a good farming run. i got 1273 darkness only from hades

[dusk comet]

[tiny condor]

First 32 Heat, 1HP, & Personal Best Time (21:04.92)
My heart can't take any more runs today

[lapis pendant]

Over 800 damage in one hit thanks to doom

[broken hill]

Shield doom special build

[violet bloom]

bruh

[worldly tundra]

My goal for today was to go sub 14 with Poseidon and I did it!

[crisp ginkgo]

fully loaded is real wuttttt

[worldly tundra]

Can't get Chaos Gates, can get Arte legendary

[primal crown]

Chaos moment (taking the attack hurts me curse wasnt the brightest option but i wanted that cast)

[violet bloom]

Nice

[thorny canopy]

it was slow, but im pretty happy i went through wit ha run on it finally. definitely go more into the swing of the weapon at the end of the run

[lean fulcrum]

first bow win!!!!

[dusk comet]

@ember moon used this for spear fists and bow

[ember moon]

FO2... my nemesis

I didn't run any FO for 32 heat

[violet bloom]

3 sack no mirage

[lunar peak]

437 CLEARS????

You're nuts

[violet bloom]

i play this game too much

[lunar peak]

I've been getting addicted recently

This was my first clear

It was an absolute god run

[violet bloom]

nice

[violet bloom]

idk how im streaking sub 10s

[dusk comet]

Just too good

[violet bloom]

and i got vorime'd in the next run

no more sub 10 streak 😔

[woeful sandal]

First win on hell mode

[violet bloom]

nice

[woeful sandal]

Thanks

[rich wagon]

we do a little dodging

couldve potential pb of not for 4 sack and tiny vermin

[spice moth]

32 HEAT RUN BY THE MERE SKIN THAT IS LEFT ON MY TEETH

Almost went to time, as well

[hollow jacinth]

Goodness me, well done

Heres a quick tip, don't take routine inspection at 32 heat at all

But congrats anyway

[spice moth]

Yeah, in hind sight that wasn't the best Idea

[dusk comet]

Ri3 damn

Ap1 alsi

[hollow jacinth]

And EM4

[dusk comet]

Made that really hard on yourself

[spice moth]

Yep

Christ I had no right to win that

Thank god I took Last Stand from Athena

I got it early on when I hadn't lost any DD and knew it'd be useful later on down the road

And damn I was right

[primal crown]

thats a hard 32 congrats!

[severe jungle]

That’s probably harder than most 44 heat pacts goddamn

Hades has 66,300 health with that pact

It’s usually 34,000

Unless I’m doing the math wrong or I am misinformed

[pliant shadow]

yooo first sub 14

[agile blaze]

Mainly bc of the no FO

And the 9min tight deadline

[severe jungle]

No, because RI1, CP2, EM4, JS1, AP1

Also what’s the point of DC1?

If your aspect can handle DC then you take 2. Otherwise you take 0

[agile blaze]

Sorry i meant they had to take the hard ones you mentioned bc of not taking the ones i did lol

[severe jungle]

The biggest thing that makes that an insanely bad pact is that Hades has 66,300 health

[severe jungle]

Yeah true

[agile blaze]

Yeah gotta make up the 11 heat somehow (no FO and only lvl 1 Tight deadline)

[crisp ginkgo]

Total flex on the pact, but that’s awesome, if you can handle this pact you can probably do 40 heat

[tranquil sun]

Chiron derusting with sea storm build. Now I'm sure that the special does not trigger 8 bolts

[crisp ginkgo]

wut it doesn’t?!

[tranquil sun]

I recorded my attempt and I only see 1-2 bolts on my special

[primal crown]

Zeus bolts have a 0.2 secs cooldown

[crisp ginkgo]

Gotcha

So Chiron Zeus is suboptimal then

Not super big brain like I thought

[tranquil sun]

It's still a decent build if you want a clear

with Sea Storm you also want Static Discharge, and if you're lucky enough, you can get splitting bolt

[lavish locust]

I was able to complete a few prophecies in this run

[twilit crag]

your rng is exponentially better than mine

[zinc lintel]

That's a pact

[tranquil sun]

not a pact that I would recommend tho

[zinc lintel]

LC0 with SD is interesting

were you just practicing EM4 with one DD?

[tranquil sun]

I wanted a 32 heat pact but when building it, I was already above 32. I ended with this funky pact

LC0 was just because I wanted to lower to 32

[next forum]

When you want to just face tank hades

[severe jungle]

5 vengeance boons? damn

Woah. 40 heat (my second ever), and only got hit 3 times to Hades in total. Also first try (although I did reset a few times in order to get chamber 2 Charged Shot). If this taught me one thing, it’s that Jury Summons is a really rough pact. But I’m also not sure if there was a better option. Either way, I’m quite proud of this one.

And to think I was sad about my 3-sack because it didn’t let me bring my Touch of Styx Dark into Hades lmao

[primal crown]

CF2 jokes aside, well done!

[crisp ginkgo]

Em4 or (can’t believe im saying this) calisthenics

But yeah, that’s awesome

Congrats

[nocturne creek]

Nooooice

[severe jungle]

I can’t tell if the CF hate is a joke or not. At 40 heat, what else would I have taken that could conceivably be easier?

[primal crown]

i took cf1 and dc1

[severe jungle]

DC1 on Beowulf? Ewww no way that would be worse than CP tbh

[primal crown]

Wasnt that bad

[severe jungle]

I was one-shotting enemies with castless charged shot

I couldn’t have done that with DC1

The convenience fee basically didn’t even hurt me. I had more than enough boons and poms by the end of it

[next forum]

Im getting all the prophecy stuff done and I thought might as well go full vengeance

[severe jungle]

Yeah that’s pretty cool

[next forum]

It worked out way better than I thought when I got pretty much every duo I was looking for

[crisp ginkgo]

AFK Hades fights are so amusing to watch

Not even close

Big doom coming in clutch

[dusk comet]

absolutely zooming

[worldly tundra]

this was fun as heck

[zinc lintel]

CF is just a pact that weakens your build, imo Beo can deal with pacts like EM4 and extra JS and CP with the right build and I’d rather have easier access to that build with cheaper boons and poms

[lunar peak]

What a weird run

[royal sphinx]

meme beam best boon

[lunar peak]

Yes

[zinc lintel]

Eris is a castpect

[royal sphinx]

uhhhhh

well

objectively yes

[lunar peak]

Damn it… 2.33 seconds away from a sub-10…

Still my proudest run

[dusk comet]

Quite literally did not see any of hades' attacks

[shrewd sail]

my tenth win shall be with the spear

i swear it

also

new best streak

[dusk comet]

Gl!

Congrats on streak too!

[shrewd sail]

thank you

[severe jungle]

That doesn’t really make sense to me. I always find enough gold to buy the things I need even with CF2. I’d never want to make it harder to win just to make it easier to buy extra boons when I’m already able to buy enough boons. Maybe that’s just me, but I’ve literally seen people take DC2 and CF0 and 50 heat Beowulf which is actually mind blowing

I just can’t imagine a world where needing to hit every enemy twice before dealing damage is easier than just buying a few less boons

DC2 and no other pacts would be harder on Beowulf for me than 26 heat, at least for me. I’m not even joking

[zinc lintel]

That was me

[zinc lintel]

I did dc2 cf0 Beo at 50 heat

[zinc lintel]

More money better chance at getting snow burst

Snow burst makes dc bearable

I’m just saying you should try a cf0 run

[crisp ginkgo]

I’m with ya uno I like having a big economy

[zinc lintel]

Money = good

[crisp ginkgo]

Epic chaos money boon in Tartarus

is almost always a dub

[zinc lintel]

Affluence is cool but almost always copium

All the money in the world can’t buy you a permanent extra cast

[random oriole]

so how did you pop the DCs

[zinc lintel]

Snow burst

[random oriole]

dash + attack?

ae

[zinc lintel]

In tart you can use traps and walk slams to strip dc before your cast

[random oriole]

like tidal dash slams?

[zinc lintel]

Like dash attack slams

[random oriole]

ah

[zinc lintel]

If you’re curious how I played dc2 Beo my clear is in the spreadsheet

But ykc also did dc2 Beo at 60 heat

And he’s like way better at the video game than I am

[random oriole]

that was my wallpaper for a while

had to rearrange all my desktop icons to get them away from Cerberus' heads

[severe jungle]

True, I didn’t think of Snow Burst but you wouldn’t need Snow Burst if you just took CF2 instead of DC2 lmao

I mean I’m sure DC2 Beo isn’t impossible but I can’t imagine a world where it’s an easier pact than CF2

[zinc lintel]

Snow burst helps for more than just dc2

It unlocks killing freeze which is a nuts boon

[severe jungle]

Sure

But you don’t need CF0 to get Snow Burst

[zinc lintel]

Sure but it helps

[severe jungle]

I get Smoldering Air with CF2 all the time

Same with Mirage Shot

[zinc lintel]

I’m not saying CF is like AP2 or anything

[severe jungle]

I really don’t find that CF2 is a very big hinderance

[zinc lintel]

And I’m saying you should just try a run with CF0

[severe jungle]

I often take it over Hard Labor actually

[zinc lintel]

You don’t find it a hinderance because you’re used to it

Ok that’s a sin

You’ve grown complacent with atrocities such as 270 gold boons

I am offering you a brighter alternative

A world where you’ll almost always have the gold to buy something at every shop

Not just once per biome

[severe jungle]

Being able to take a ton of extra hits makes 32 heat runs with weaker aspects incredibly easy. Even with CF2 I had enough gold to buy two boons from Styx shop before even entering any of the passageways

I mean I know it would help, but I don’t think it would help as much as people think it would

[zinc lintel]

CF0 shines in making sure you have excess boons to sell for Tart and Asphodel

Because you’re basically guaranteed at least 4 boons unless you skip midshop

Also this is still victory boasting lmao

We should probably move to like #h1-high-heat-strategies or something

[severe jungle]

Ok

[median bloom]

way too slow but got it done

[hollow raven]

First 32 Heat clear!!

[lapis whale]

Scintillating feast is pretty good huh

[primal crown]

congrats! and with em4 too

[static torrent]

44 minutes

that's some... patience you got there

[shrewd sail]

lucifer doesnt do much damage on its own, and i did all of the styx tunnels, only to come up 20 short of the titan blood

[crisp ginkgo]

try zeus attack on it

but yeah

eris > luci 😦

[shrewd sail]

Incorrect

Zag > luci > eris > hestia

[tight fulcrum]

just

h u h

eris > hestia > zag > lucy

all rail aspects are very solid

but eris is definitely the best rail aspect

[shrewd sail]

I like max zag aspect

24 bullets

[tight fulcrum]

75% global damage at max eris is better than 24 max bullets imo

zag is still really solid though

[shrewd sail]

Gimme a sec, ima do maths

How much damage does the rail do base per bullet?

[tight fulcrum]

that doesnt matter

its very terrible

[shrewd sail]

I still would like to know

[tight fulcrum]

which is why for crit zag rail builds u need spread fire to increase the damage of it and the optimal builds for eris involves lightning strike

uh

i got no idea homie

also #h1-builds-and-combat

[shrewd sail]

Aight

[random oriole]

10

[vast thistle]

I dont have the screenshot i forgot to take one but... i just did my first ever speedrun. It was only 6 heat tho. I wanted to see if i could beat it with TD3. My time was 15:15

Im making a YT video of it. Its just a raw video tho. I was focused so i didnt really talk at all besides a few coughs xD. I shouldve just muted my mic but i wasnt planning on uploading it

[runic breach]

First time with the rail, this was a fun one

[crisp ginkgo]

[brave fulcrum]

Let's just say the battle with dad was swift

[severe jungle]

Bro how do you have 500 clears? That’s crazy! You’ve probably build up enough skill to easily clear 40+ heat, so why don’t you? Just not a fan of high heat?

[agile blaze]

And a streak of 105!?

But fair enough on them playing they're own way. Hades is a pretty good way to chill at low heat

Just killing monsters without really thinking lol

[severe jungle]

Hey I mean my max streak is 100, and I intentionally killed it on my 101st run because I didn’t want to worry about it anymore and 100 was a nice enough number for me

[agile blaze]

Nice!

[severe jungle]

I also only have 211 clears

[agile blaze]

Once i finished the main story i soft locked myself into 20 heat bc i didn't really understand the bounty stuff

So my longest is 15 ish

[hollow jacinth]

My highest streak is 14 and I have like 400 clears

[severe jungle]

Yeah but what’s your speedrun PB

[agile blaze]

Oh hey dude! I knew i recognized that user

[brave fulcrum]

Cold Drunk Passion build

[marble plank]

so i got this seriously overpowered gun run.....

I got like 4000 dmg in 3 seconds with my 4 casts

[brave fulcrum]

hunting blades is one of the best build out there

so yea

fun wasn't it?

[marble plank]

vicious cycle made the numbers I saw.... become interesting

yeah right now im on a 6 win streak and its really starting to get interesting

[terse loom]

my first bow clear no heat, holy that was close

[brave fulcrum]

that heartbreak flourish 👀

[terse loom]

at some point had a choice from aphro: either heartrend or change my deadly flourish to heartbreak flourish. Still not sure if it was correct choice.

[zinc lintel]

Definitely not the optimal choice but it was the funny choice and I respect it

[brave fulcrum]

heart rend is always the choice

[primal crown]

big number on the tooltip fun tho

[terse loom]

ye, that number got me drooling

[minor widget]

AFTER SO MANY ATTEMPTS I FINALLY DID IT OH MY GOD

[rich wagon]

nice

[minor widget]

I've tried to Rama Special Zeus so many times it hurts.
6 times I had gotten Zeus + Hermes Epic Special + Relentless Volley
Only this time did I win

[brave fulcrum]

this was a meme

if you guys ever watched "wanted"

it felt like it

[rich wagon]

wanted that angelina jolie one?

[brave fulcrum]

Yes

[gaunt sleet]

Iv not really had a time that I wanted to flex outside of my friends group with until last night. I started playing a few weeks ago when it was released on PS, was already in love before I played it. The love grows with every escape. My initial escapes were in 20+ mins and now I'm heading towards 15 min times. I'd love to make it to sub 10 but I never believed I could do it. Now I think I can

during the hades fight

[severe jungle]

Cursed slash Arthur

[slate urchin]

had this neat run while messing around

[severe jungle]

No double edge

[slate urchin]

yeah ikr

i was looking for it

no wait i have it

nvm

completely forgot lol

[severe jungle]

Oh is that double edge? Idk the images

Oh well then double edge

Yeah that’s pretty absurd

[slate urchin]

oh yeah

i was looking for hermes boons for more dashes

not double edge

that would have been even more OP

oh well

[crisp ginkgo]

Double edge is a hammer not hermes

Cool run tho! And you don’t need it to succeed as you’ve shown haha

(doesn’t hurt)

[slate urchin]

yeah ik, i mean i was hoping for hermes boons for that extra dashes perk

so i can dash-strike more

and yeah it was a fun run

[crisp ginkgo]

yeet

level 10 dash strike that’s hilarious

Seeing level 10 boons always gives me a warm fuzzy

[hollow jacinth]

Done and now i can use comapions vs Hades~~Yay

I live life a little on the edge

I will admit, Hades had my head handed to me many, many times
I'm really happy I kept 3 DDs at the end of it though

[crisp ginkgo]

[crisp ginkgo]

okay hestia

[strong parcel]

EM4 is not good for my heart

ever

[clever marsh]

Lol good job

That's a not even close baby run

[strong parcel]

LOL

I had 292 health cap

3 revives

and it all got deleted

Demeter legendary coming in clutch with the 10% haha

[fervent night]

...does billowing strength apply to ares aid damage?

[strong parcel]

i think it does

[primal crown]

is global damage so yes

[strong parcel]

it specifically says dmg right?

[agile blaze]

No middle management too 😯

[coarse quarry]

How much did a level 3 aphro attack do on the 3rd swipe

[languid mural]

Is MM just free Heat or something? I never really tried to adjust my Pact; I stuck with what I thought would be "fun"

[coarse quarry]

I'd argue it is except for gorgon head and rock man and big butterfly ball

[warm notch]

definitely easier than having forced overtime 2

[coarse quarry]

^^^

Especially with Hestia where you're trying to get away and reload

[agile blaze]

Personally w

This is my usual go to for 32 heat

I just changed damage control for higher shop prices depending on the aspect

[ember moon]

And with this really good poseidon run, I finally beat hades at 40 heat with all weapons

[agile blaze]

Congrats! Which bow did you use?

[ember moon]

Honestly can't remember, I think chiron but might have been hera

Rest was poseidon sword, achillies spear, zeus sheild, demeter fists and eris rail

[agile blaze]

Oh damn w hera?

I cannot get familiar with it but someone on here gave me some tips that helped me get so much closer

[dusk comet]

that was kinda scary, thought Id lose

[ember moon]

32 heat hestia with spread fire and clockets (took the anvil and lucked out)

[agile blaze]

Does spread fire act different on hestia?

Also no FO?

[ember moon]

Spread fire doesn't apply to the empowered shot

The empowered shot stays completely normal

[ember moon]

Nah, I avoid FO on my 32 heat runs, I play FO2 on 40 heat but 32 heat is my comfort zone

Rama's attack can do so much damn damage

[ember moon]

I don't really like running FO, FO1 is fine but FO2 is a pain, there's just so much going on in the room it's hard to see the windups cuz of particle effects and it just forces me to play really passive and idk, I don't like it

[agile blaze]

Nah i understand

[agile blaze]

Oh I thought something happened but lucky you one get cluster rockets

[ember moon]

Yeah, it's weird

but it makes sense

[lunar peak]

Beat my first 20+ heat for the last statue! Took me so many tries but just my second attempt with hestia blessed me with a fat 72% Attack damage Chaos boon and explosive fire.

[minor widget]

I wasn't expecting this but AYO WHAT
Arthur EM4 FO2 Let's gooooo

[fleet halo]

32 rail 🎊

also holy aphro aid is bussin

[lunar peak]

styx kinda screwed me over with the rng, but still a fun run - boss fights were over in seconds

also got epic rd due to exclusive access in tartarus mid shop

yeah exclusive access is really good if you get it early

Trippy shot rarity doesn't matter a jot since poms are busted

This trippy shot probably had ~450 base damage

Not 296

🥴

[lunar peak]

3078 damage i think, with all boosts from duo boons and rdv (not including boosts from strong drink)

just from the blast, not the dragon rush with deadly

my math may be wrong though

[dusk comet]

should be around 500 base damage per trippy flare, before any buffs

And I refuse to calculate with buffs because I am lazy!

Going through keepsakes to level them and ended up doing a shackle run ^^

[teal cargo]

One day I'll learn what these terms mean lol. Good job tho!

[harsh swan]

Shackle give you a base 50% damage increase if you don't have a boon in you attack, special, or cast respectively

[teal cargo]

Gotcha

Keepsakes are gotten by giving nectar to the npcs
