I figured earlier

[warm notch]

okey

[visual thistle]

[upper tangle]

Somehow that worked.

[warm notch]

stubborn defiance at low heat

[elfin quiver]

stubborn at low heat bad

[upper tangle]

why

[warm notch]

are regular rooms even giving you trouble?

[upper tangle]

Not really

But I will always have one chance at hades

[warm notch]

then youre better off with dd's

[upper tangle]

Its possible something bad happens and I lose my defiances before hades

[warm notch]

well you could also use acorn against him

[upper tangle]

I do

[warm notch]

also theres lots of ways to refill death defiances

[upper tangle]

Yeah but they are all RNG

Theseus fight almost always kills me

[warm notch]

well stubborn defiance doesnt help with that either

[upper tangle]

what

but it does

[warm notch]

getting almost killed by theseus

uh youre just going in with less backup health though

[quaint bluff]

yoo, i just started this game

can anyone tell me the best weapon

[warm notch]

preference

[quaint bluff]

i am comfortable with the bow

but bow's is not enought damage

i need something that can clean dungeons

[upper tangle]

probably we should all change channels

[elfin quiver]

this is not the place to ask weapons guys

[warm notch]

probably

[quaint bluff]

then where do

where do i

spoilers are allowed there though, I'd stick to new-players until you finish the story

[lunar peak]

Aspect of Zeus on the Chaos shield

[chilly silo]

They just started the game…so they will likely forget that suggestion by the time they unlock it 😆

[lunar peak]

It's fine, they may forget Frisbee but frisbee won't forget them

[severe jungle]

That’s not even true

[lunar peak]

Foolish mortal, you dare question F R I S B E E

[severe jungle]

Yes

[severe jungle]

Unless your only criteria is the highest heat wr, then Beowulf beats Zeus shield

[lunar peak]

Beowulf more like Not Aspect of Zeus

[chilly silo]

Big crits here…no hitter versus heroes, almost against dad…point blank trip shot was lit 🔥

[opal shoal]

rama chunks

[severe jungle]

Yoo! That’s actually a super good build

[severe jungle]

Tempest Strike fists

[lunar peak]

Don't you like the tempest strike fists 😉

[severe jungle]

Not exactly

[lunar peak]

😭

[severe jungle]

Definitely the worst possible attack boon for fists

[brave fulcrum]

you gotta try it

it's fun

plus heavy knuckle

[severe jungle]

Fine.

[drifting saddle]

Tempest is not terrible on its own like you really want rupture or sea storm fast 👀 💦

[grand yacht]

huh, I had some really good RNG on this one

[opal shoal]

Splitting bolt and double strike pog

[grand yacht]

and lightning bolts in festive fog and from my shield of zeus

with an extra cast from a chaos boon

and I got the hammer that adds an extra attack and removes knockback, while using the hangover on attack

I think the synergy could have taken on double the heat, at least

[opal shoal]

spicy

Christ two legendaries? pog

[grand yacht]

three, actually

and two duos

[opal shoal]

[severe jungle]

Greater recall is super hard to get actually. You had god’s legacy so it had a 11% chance of showing up

Without legacy that chance would be 1%

[grand yacht]

I love God's Legacy.

[severe jungle]

I prefer Pride

[opal shoal]

I hate pride

[severe jungle]

That way I can get epic boons from Hermès

[opal shoal]

literally never works

[severe jungle]

Epic boon chance is 3% without it, 23% with it

[opal shoal]

yeah well

[severe jungle]

I notice it doing a ton for me

[opal shoal]

when you get three gods in a row with only normal rarities

You hate prid

[grand yacht]

that's what boon rerolls are for

[opal shoal]

either that or rngjesus hates me

[severe jungle]

Pride is great

Epic greatest reflex

[opal shoal]

Is there a heroic greatest reflex

[severe jungle]

Yeah

With Eurydice or crop

[opal shoal]

[grand yacht]

Is Greatest Reflex the automatic dodge chance boon?

[opal shoal]

no

extra dashes

[grand yacht]

Eurydice is a good one. Had her elevate quality nicely before. Another way to elevate quality nicely is to get lucky with Demeter.

She has a boon that resets three other boons to common, then raises their quality once per so and so many encounters.

[opal shoal]

That’s only epic rare crop

Rare does two, common does ond

[crisp ginkgo]

Common rare crop is a waste

Need it early tho, that heroic support fire uh….neato

[elfin quiver]

got my fastest clear yet!

[crisp ginkgo]

Super soaker meme

[scenic granite]

first EM4 FO2

not proud cuz i cant do the same with nem sword yet

[grand yacht]

god damn, I was this close to having Hades KO me to a sick metal riff

build worked very well in bursts of fighting, but it struggled on bosses

[crisp ginkgo]

gilgamesh ice wine is super based

[viral elm]

First win, shield is broken

[severe jungle]

Very true

[upper tangle]

Slowly but surely increasing heat

[lapis pendant]

Fun build

[severe jungle]

No flurry jab

[lapis pendant]

Went big spin quick spin

Kinda fun

[severe jungle]

I guess

[lapis pendant]

Big spin also does a lot of damage with crits

[lunar peak]

Do I end my 21 streak and focus on grinding out gemstones and nectars?

[severe jungle]

[crisp ginkgo]

If you beat dad you get 50 gemstones base so easier to just keep doing runs to farm gems fast

[grand yacht]

I should have gone full security measures. Hades is just not as fun without it.

Power Shot attacks could crit for 2,4k.

Special was fast and could spam artemis support fire arrows.

And the crush shot cast was extended, boosted and had a demeter cold explosion on top.

[lunar peak]

MOAR VICTORY

[ebon berry]

Paws up

[grand yacht]

Get your daisy dukes up! Marquis of Queensbury rules!

[lunar peak]

The streak grows

[upper tangle]

Stronger than I expected

[zinc lintel]

Well it is Beowulf

With Mirage Shot

[hollow jacinth]

And poms

[opal shoal]

You should like

Upgrade your aspects

[severe jungle]

Why are you using Damage Control there? That looks like a real unnecessary added difficulty

[opal shoal]

Prolly for bounties

[severe jungle]

Right

But that’s a really hard pact for 2 heat

[opal shoal]

Eh not really

[severe jungle]

For that build?

Some weapons can handle it fine, but even on Eris and Rama I don’t suggest taking it until 32 heat

But with a build like that, DC2 is one of the worst pacts you could have for 2 heat

[lunar peak]

WOW I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT!!1! You"RE SO SMART

[lunar peak]

Damage control is superrr easy. 2 total extra hits per enemy?

[severe jungle]

That’s a lot!

Like a lot

[hollow jacinth]

It's like giving every enemy a 2 charge acorn

[lunar peak]

Not really, it would be an issue if I were going for speed, but like everything is fine

Haven't had any trouble with it

[opal shoal]

I mean that was a 40 minute run

[severe jungle]

I strongly disagree with you, as someone who has a lot of experience with DC

[opal shoal]

I think that’s just a bit too much

[lunar peak]

I strongly disagree with you seeing as it's been perfectly fine, and continues to work out

[severe jungle]

I could pick RI4 for 8 heat and win, but that wouldn’t make it a good idea

[lunar peak]

I normally run EM4 for heat levels just to get my bounty up, and from there make the enemies tankier and tankier

[severe jungle]

So what you’re saying is you intentionally use the worst pacts (beside RI and AP)?

[lunar peak]

Worst? They're super easy, considering I take more hits I don't want enemies to have extra damage, I like my mirror of the night upgrades, I like my boons, I don't want to deal with extra speed enemies, etc

[hollow jacinth]

They become harder once you combine them with other pacts

[severe jungle]

I don’t know why you’re so sure that you couldn’t be wrong even when you have much less experience with this stuff

[hollow jacinth]

Such as tight deadline

[severe jungle]

Calisthenics Program is a very bad pact

For reference, ykc’s 61 heat run used CP1 not CP2

[lunar peak]

I don't know why you're so certain you're right when you don't play my playstyle, or have my experience of what I enjoy, nimrod

[severe jungle]

I’m not arguing you don’t enjoy it

[lunar peak]

Then stop arguing

[severe jungle]

But those are the worst pacts

[opal shoal]

can you also not call people nimrods

Pretty rude

[lunar peak]

Okay and?

[opal shoal]

Have you read rule 1

[lunar peak]

I don't tell you what you enjoy is objectively the worst

I don't care about rule 1 lmao

Ban me

over "nimrod"

[severe jungle]

Nobody is banning you chill

[opal shoal]

you wouldn’t get banned dude. Just like, don’t insult people?

please?

[lunar peak]

Imagine getting upset over nimrod, what a numbskull 🙂

[severe jungle]

For real dude?

[opal shoal]

mate can you genuinely not insult me

please

[lunar peak]

Can you literally just let me post my wins and not have to dissect everything about my runs?

[severe jungle]

I didn’t. And more importantly, Joker didn’t

Don’t be a prick to him just because he doesn’t want you to insult people

[hollow jacinth]

Can we keep this discussion out of #h1-victory-boasting , and preferably not at all?

[opal shoal]

yeah

fair enough

[lunar peak]

Whatever, don't comment on my wins about my choices, and instead maybe a congrats on the streak if anything at all

[opal shoal]

congrats on the streak

[lunar peak]

Thank you 🙂

I'm going for 100 wins without ever taking a non-bounty run

[crisp ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/only-game-heff-be-mad-gif-5038541

[lunar peak]

If I fail I'm gonna start a new save

[twin mist]

ik its not much but just cleared my first em3

[opal shoal]

nice!

[mystic wadi]

Clear 8

[upbeat spear]

insane crit build

[severe jungle]

Take notes new players! This is what an optimal pact looks like

Also flurry cast with a single bloodstone and blood frenzy with no DDs (beside Skelly which I didn’t end up needing)

[primal crown]

ap2 moment

[warm notch]

[severe jungle]

But it also gave me tidal dash and charged shot so I can’t really complain

[zinc lintel]

Could’ve done TD3 smh

[severe jungle]

Yeah I could have

But I kinda didn’t want to risk it

16 heat looked pretty good anyway

[nocturne creek]

📝

[severe jungle]

[empty edge]

throw on TD3 and HS and you can get all of your bounties

[severe jungle]

True!

But TD3 is hard why not do EM4

[zinc lintel]

RI4 EM4 AP1

[nocturne creek]

No td3 is too much to think about I’d rather have JS3, CP2, and dc 1 instead

[severe jungle]

Exactly

[severe jungle]

I did this but I died to EM4 because the build was so insanely bad

I had sea storm and second wave

And don’t say skill issue because I did fine against EM4 in my 3 back-to-back dash only runs

I think heavy knuckle made it a lot worse

[mortal axle]

Does it count as victory boasting? 🤔

[grave compass]

Sure :))

[brave fulcrum]

Kek, I was fine with it on EM4

[grave compass]

To get all 49 you probably got tons of victories along the way

[mortal axle]

Can't remember exact number but something like 70+ I think

[lofty sonnet]

Beat the final boss in 2 minute with coronacht

[grave compass]

Coronacht can dish out consistent burst damage

[lofty sonnet]

It's insane.

Plus a good run just demolishes bosses

[crisp ginkgo]

[severe jungle]

Huh??

Bro get outa here

Potassium

[warm notch]

5 sacked boonless 32 heat hestia rail

[grave compass]

what does based mean :))

[grave compass]

intense!

[lofty sonnet]

Based is a term coined by the based god, which means "based upon itself." As in, say you're wearing a shirt. And someone walks up to you and says "that shirt looks like crap on you" if you don't care and still like the shirt, you're based upon yourself, making you based

[grave compass]

I see(?) I gotta study this lol thanks

Why is it the antonym for cringe tho?

Or did i get that wrong

[lofty sonnet]

Because cringe is almost entirely unbased

If you do something that you will look back on later and regret, it is not based, and also cringe

[grave compass]

i see

[grave compass]

holy nuts

I'm absolute trash at the Beowulf shield. I need maybe 15 more runs to get familiar

[brave fulcrum]

was it bad? yes
did I almost not make it? yes
why did I do it? idk

[grave compass]

190 life with Beowulf :))

[brave fulcrum]

Thank you, Lady Artemis. For the legendary in my non-cast build.

[chilly silo]

Not too shabby a Guan Yu run tho I failed to get Sea Storm as I’d wanted…but more importantly, now all my weapons have a sub-20 time…now to reach all sub-15!

[lofty sonnet]

Why does everyone use battie here?

Mort let's you use it on the furies, if you want to speedrun them

[warm notch]

mort is slow af is the problem

so stuff can just run out

[lofty sonnet]

I scarcely notice it taking any time at all

[chilly silo]

I find the furies to be easy to handle without too much hassle and Battie is quicker…but I have only used Mort 1x so might take him for a spin when I fully charge him.

[warm notch]

probably more noticeable with forced overtime

[chilly silo]

Yeah Battie is a third faster than Mort, but it does seem to work fine against the heroes…with practice, all the companions are pretty viable…

[crisp ginkgo]

I use Battie because I can consistently hit the champions with it even on em3

Tho than is an extra 1000 on dad that’s reliable (laser attack)

[warm notch]

imo better to use your summon during the first phase

hit both dad and his summons

[brave fulcrum]

did ya get hunting blades?

[crisp ginkgo]

If you’re on controller, remapping cast to left bumper is straight up life changing. Also snow burst super based, especially on beo

[elfin quiver]

idk I did my first run with beo

with default controls

and won

trippy flare run

[crisp ginkgo]

its not required, but it feels way smoother

load your cast while charging

rather than preload it

its hard to push cast button while holding attack to charge your rush

but do what works for you 🙂

[elfin quiver]

I can do it with the face buttons too, that's how I played

load while charging rush

I guess it helps that trippy flare is kinda op with beo

[random oriole]

bruh
Nearly no-hit too

[mystic wadi]

Cast build overkill

[elfin quiver]

there's a screenshot feature

[mystic wadi]

I’m aware

I play console, so I’d have to upload it then save it on my phone

Don’t really care for the process

[crisp ginkgo]

I recently got a controller with back buttons and am super spoiled lol but hey if it works for ya, based

[crisp ginkgo]

Yeah I do the same because five steps is worse than one step

[mystic wadi]

I could use back buttons but my default controller has wayyy better ergo

[crisp ginkgo]

I use it specifically for beowulf lol I play normal otherwise

[brave fulcrum]

thank you, once again, Lady Artemis. For another legendary for another non-cast build.

[crisp ginkgo]

Tho it would work on hera bow

I have cast and special mapped back there so I never need to move my thumb

But beo trippy flare is super based

Oh wait that was a different guy saying beo wasn’t working for him my bad

and the original point, nifty little 32 Chiron go brr

[elfin quiver]

lol

[grave compass]

Spinny effects run :))

[grave compass]

About to crit dad to death with the reload buff and he's distracted by a fibsh.

Yep I punted him easy

[slim ridge]

yeah 1 st i got past him .

[steep jackal]

Without an attack boon!

[cold helm]

Extreme measures 4 is the only way to play the game

[slim ridge]

attack boon = call on an olympian ?

[lofty sonnet]

No, it's like Poseidon's knockback

[opal shoal]

a call fills the last slot above your keepsake

[severe jungle]

Attack boon = Boon that affects your attack

[slim ridge]

ah the main attack .. yes . with hauntlets i mostly used special and cast . vs the specials/ bosses

gauntlets )

[grave compass]

Maximum zappy spam build 😄

[austere gate]

How did you get that btw

[grave compass]

wdym?

[lunar peak]

Just got lots of Zeus boons

[austere gate]

I mean how long did you take to win

[opal shoal]

It says it right there

[austere gate]

@grave compass

[grave compass]

The bouncy lightning + aoe from jolt are really helpful in crowd control

[lunar peak]

It says it on there

[opal shoal]

34 minutes

[grave compass]

or do you mean how many tries to get a win?

[austere gate]

Ye S

[grave compass]

oh uhh

Lemme check when I get back to the hades office :))

[austere gate]

Lol ha

[grave compass]

But my first clear was with the Hera Bow

[austere gate]

Noice

[lunar peak]

I beat ||hades|| on my 17 run, ik I suck

[grave compass]

lemme check with admin

[severe jungle]

I beat it on run 48

[austere gate]

No way I have I tried 100 times

😭

[lunar peak]

Dang

Nvm what I said then

[severe jungle]

[austere gate]

Ye

[lunar peak]

U can try gm if you really want to win

[grave compass]

Or farm and farm and farm like I did LOL

[severe jungle]

It’s alright though. Took me 48 runs to get my first win but 500 runs later and I’ve beat 45 heat with 3 aspects, and 40 heat with all but 5 aspects

[austere gate]

Yea I am trying everyday

[austere gate]

Ye

[austere gate]

That’s crazy

[lunar peak]

Dedication man

[austere gate]

True

[grave compass]

Shoryuken build! Done for the day, good night 😄

[grave compass]

Took 54 tries, finished first with the spear not the bow my mistake 🙂

But to my eternal shame this was after days of playing form morning until night. I actually wore my thumb smooth from playing :((

[austere gate]

That’s flippin tea insane

[austere gate]

😞

[grave compass]

No worries, really the most fun you can have with the game is just fighting, not winning

It's like fighting in a cartoon dust cloud 😄 after enough tries (and good nights' sleep) you will eventually get a feel for the patterns 😄

[opal shoal]

Dad: boy, can you stop hitting me with that foolish wine god’s blessing
You: sure you can.
blasted with lightning

[austere gate]

@grave compass I guess you really like hades

Nice winter harvest

[austere gate]

Yes true

[upper tangle]

got it too late to matter

[austere gate]

No way

[upper tangle]

Got it hjust before hades

[primal crown]

As long you get the epic line is never too late

[upper tangle]

What epic line

[austere gate]

Yes

[upper tangle]

I skip

[primal crown]

Grandma says a 1 liner before finishing a boss

[upper tangle]

I have gotten it numerous times and I have legit never paid attention to what she says

[opal shoal]

“You are stinky”

[severe jungle]

Why

[elfin quiver]

this run was pure joy

my dash rifts were as big as base cast rifts

imagine if chaos gave +1 cast that bugger

i'd have won wayy quicker

[primal crown]

hunting blades moment congrats

[viral elm]

second win

[opal shoal]

Noice

[viral elm]

definitely much harder with rail than shield but gameplay with rail feels faster

[opal shoal]

Yeah shield is much safer

[viral elm]

also my hades fight is rough everytime

I used 3 defiance on that fight and none on the rest of the run

[severe jungle]

It takes experience to i-frame his attacks

[lunar peak]

Run #55

Fastest and easiest run so far. Big swings lol

over 1800 damage on a combo finisher backstab

[hollow jacinth]

That's a lotta HP

[lunar peak]

Doing the math rn on what the swing would be

1810 on a big swing for a backstab on a shielded enemy

I think

I could've gotten bigger if I dumped levels into my boons

[warm notch]

wait cp 2. no wonder

plus js1

[zinc lintel]

lol

[hollow jacinth]

1 question!

Why?

[zinc lintel]

Attack replacement in Styx after I already had Unhealthy Fixation

Plus I thought it was funny

[hollow jacinth]

True

I haven't got an Eris sub 10 with aphro attack yet

I might go for it

[zinc lintel]

Spread Fire Aphro attack? 👀

Or just Tidal Dash Simulator 2021?

[severe jungle]

That’s actually great

Aphrodite attack on Eris is really bad except with UF

[zinc lintel]

Yea I know

But no jolted meant it wasn't really a dps loss

[hollow jacinth]

Yeah it's basically level 2 common Zeus attack with no aoe

So, pretty bad lmao

[severe jungle]

But constantly charming Hades is actually quite strong I’d imagine

[zinc lintel]

Actually no he just keeps repeating his attacks with little to no wind up when he's charmed

[severe jungle]

What?

I’ve done Aphrodite’s Aid + Smoldering Air against Hades before

It was pretty good

Almost impossible to actually get hit

[zinc lintel]

Whenever charm wears off on dad he repeats his previous move but with no wind up, it's just something you should be aware of

the same thing applies with Sigil call

It's a neat way to stop him from using Darkness by having him repeat other moves

[severe jungle]

I noticed that if I charm Asterius during the spin, he just spins again

[chilly silo]

Can someone explain how Hades Sigil actually does anything to give you an advantage in the Hades fight outside of the fact that you become invulnerable or invisible for a certain amount of time. The description says nothing and honestly, I do way better with the Acorn or Zeus' call or even Aphro's call...and yet so many speed-runners and high heat people say to take the Sigil...

[severe jungle]

It’s good for speedruns

Because it gives +100% global damage

For 2 seconds

[ebon berry]

Biiiiig burst of damage

[zinc lintel]

I wouldn't use Sigil at high heat

It's good for speedruns because global damage good

Also Darkness Cancel lol

[severe jungle]

Yeah it’s not good for high heat. You need defensive keepsakes for that

[opal shoal]

yeah

there’s a lot of things that the game doesn’t say cuz it wouldn’t like, fit on the screen

[chilly silo]

I don't understand why there is not indication of that on the item description as it does for the other keepsakes and calls....is this just something that people have deduced by recognizing the damage output...has Super Giant actually spelled this out officially?

[severe jungle]

There’s an indication on the call itself

[chilly silo]

https://tenor.com/view/community-ken-jeong-ben-chang-cant-see-squint-gif-5056034

Alright someone's gotta do it

[severe jungle]

Ayy I did 45 Hestia the other day!

Congrats!

[steep jackal]

why did you choose dem on attack?

[severe jungle]

My guess is they started tidal dash

[ebon berry]

yeah

artemis denied attack and got epic dem at miniboss

big % good

[chilly silo]

% is def good...and I could see it working well with Chilling the bosses and them moving slower for better evasion and overall increasing your hits vs their hits ratio...

[ebon berry]

chill didnt stack too well actually

since I was just firing one shot then reloading

while cancelling the animation but still

[chilly silo]

True...but still some chill/slow down is better than none

[chilly silo]

Nice 26 streak and victory!

[upper tangle]

That went well.

Was there a switch between god, normal or hell mode? Those track separately...

[long owl]

ohhhhhh

I had no idea that was a thing

also that's not mine, I was just wondering

[hollow jacinth]

No, they used a maxed savefile from speedrun.com, it starts with 50 clears that aren't shown on the victory screen

[lunar peak]

SUB 20 AND THE STREAK CONTINUES EVEN THOUGH MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS THROUGH THE ROOF AND AM SHAKING

Previous best speed was 23 something

I am literally shaking so bad

i dunno how ppl enjoy guan yu lmao

[severe jungle]

Not even close! Congrats!

You said that’s your last aspect for 40 heat? I have 5 left myself

[upbeat spear]

10 minutes!!! how the heck...

[severe jungle]

10? Bruh

[upbeat spear]

teach me the ways 🙏

[severe jungle]

https://discord.gg/3Wr3NV7m

Now that I think about it, would have been better to DM that. Whatever

[chilly silo]

Did the Talos Yo-Yo build with a side of Trippy…pretty fun and made me feel like a bull in a china shop…stumbling on the trippy Mirage shot was fun…could have had scintillating feast but opted for Billowing Strength…

[warm notch]

40 heat boonless reeee

and ofc i get minotaurs toughness instead of 100% olympian free

[grave compass]

This build isn't bad at all. I feel like burst damage is really valuable in Hades, all the more so if it's AOE burst damage. Definitely getting triple bomb next time I play with the eden 😄

[grave compass]

I'm gonna try this on my 16 heat run 😄

[snow jacinth]

first try 10 heat not bad

[warm notch]

sloppiest dad fight to ever exist

[past sedge]

boonless??

[warm notch]

idk if this is cracked gameplay @severe jungle

[warm notch]

as in i throw away any boon i get and generally try not to get em

not counting hammers and chaos though

[past sedge]

is there unique dialogue for doing boonless?

[warm notch]

yeah

[past sedge]

Ferb, I know what we're going to do today!

[severe jungle]

N TITLE

I mean

Congrats!!

That’s hype dude!

[warm notch]

when you grab too many centaur hearts so olympian free is overidden

[severe jungle]

Wait but you didn’t even get that title

You actually got nothing

[warm notch]

wait a sec

[warm notch]

screenshotted too early

[severe jungle]

Ah

[warm notch]

i like how i lost more health to dad than from literally everything else in the whole course of the run

[lofty sonnet]

Same thing happens to me most runs

I almost never die to anything but hades

I also rarely die to hades, but still

And I'm quite frankly debating turning god mode back off

[random oriole]

monthly challenge done - tbh my starting kit kinda broke it so hard that I felt kinda bad

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

[austere gate]

Nice one dude

I couldn’t have done that in million years…. Maybe

[random oriole]

yellow Lernie melted all my DDs but Pat was merciful

[lunar peak]

can i ask why you took flurry fire?

[warm notch]

ap2

[lunar peak]

didnt see that

i guess for boonless thats a good pact to take

annoying in that situation though lol

[warm notch]

yeah kinda annoying for hammers and chaos

but rnjesus provides

[lunar peak]

oh yeah chaos would have some doozies

[warm notch]

like double chaos flourish

[random oriole]

Is AP2 really that free for boonless since it might force a core boon

[warm notch]

im forced core boons anyways cuz i have none

well itd be annoying af if i was forced like drunken strike on attack

[random oriole]

ah true

yeah at least you can pick a less painful one

[lunar peak]

first 32 heat run done 🙂 no merciful end because i have terrible luck

[grave compass]

If I ever complete a shoe on head run I'm posting it here LOL

[agile blaze]

No dds lost tho so congrats!

[grave vector]

50 run streak! nice hunting blades run

[lunar peak]

i've gone for hunting blades 6 times and all 6 times never got the duo

[austere gate]

Nice one

[lunar peak]

did a crystal beam build, didn't get artemis legendary or demeter+aphro duo which i wanted, but did end up with heart rend and aphro special + artemis attack for backup damage which is something. crystals are fun

https://gyazo.com/c2964f3453e20ea9256152defd30ede7

[viral elm]

poseidon sword cast build

[ebon berry]

Thousands

Over 1700 sword runs

[grave compass]

Poseidon sword with cast + exit wounds is really enjoyable!

[viral elm]

apparently curse of drowning is terrible for everything else but destroys hades

[ebon berry]

hera 40 done

flurry very safe

[royal sphinx]

MY FIRST SUB 10 IS A SUB 9!!!!!!!!!!!!

[upper tangle]

NICE

[ebon berry]

poggies

[upper tangle]

Rama special best thing in the game hands down

[severe jungle]

Nice! My first sub 9:30 was a 7:30

[primal crown]

you cant get both crystal beams related duos at the same time btw

[upper tangle]

Interesting build

[zinc lintel]

Sir your attack boon

Where is it

[opal shoal]

They just used the special

[lunar peak]

chonky arthur build was fun, new best time too

[severe jungle]

Why power shot for 500 when you could special for 30 damage?? Checkmate

[zinc lintel]

Frost flourish with killing freeze is great passive damage while you use your attack to deal the big active damage

[opal shoal]

they just like special spammin

[zinc lintel]

When you lose killing freeze dps from arctic blast 😔

[viral elm]

i thought arthur is a slower playstyle?

[severe jungle]

Who said it wasn’t?

[zinc lintel]

Slow attack but it chunks

So it can be zoomin

[viral elm]

i just expected the time to be much higher for arthur i guess

[severe jungle]

16:44 is not fast

[zinc lintel]

Magnil got a 7:47 at 32 heat with Arthur

Ok pancake man

[severe jungle]

Magnil goated

[upper tangle]

You really have to talk smack everytime you type right?

[severe jungle]

They asked

[upper tangle]

Who asked you though?

[crisp ginkgo]

[severe jungle]

You really have to be offended every time someone says anything relating to the way you choose to play?

[lunar peak]

not saying kat is in the right here

but you do come across very abrasive a lot of the time

[severe jungle]

I wasn’t even talking to Kat

[upper tangle]

This is very easy to solve.

[severe jungle]

They chose to read it and get offended by it

That’s their problem

[zinc lintel]

Alight fellas

Let’s not

[crisp ginkgo]

[zinc lintel]

If y’all got a problem with each other that’s what DMs are for

[crisp ginkgo]

[opal shoal]

also limit the convos here since mods prev said to do so

[crisp ginkgo]

This is a prime example - you felt the need to one-up here. The point of this thread is to share wins, not listen to how you’re better than we are

[severe jungle]

No??

[zinc lintel]

.

[severe jungle]

I was not one-upping them!

I was relating to what they said!

Wtf

That was not a flex

[zinc lintel]

Fellas please and kindly move elsewhere

No one else cares

[crisp ginkgo]

It read as one, as does most of your comments of that nature. I’m backing off uno

[chilly silo]

(Awkwardly inserts victory screen to get things back on track)

[brave fulcrum]

divine dash level 4

[chilly silo]

Starting of Merciful End-centric runs…this was a good start, but Guan Yu woulda been better in hindsight

[chilly silo]

I got 3 poms before getting any other boons 😆 so it was the natural result

[brave fulcrum]

I feel like GY is wasted potential on ME

[chilly silo]

Maybe it is, but the rhythm of special+dash strike x2 is better…Zag felt off using the same combo

[lunar peak]

i can't deal with that hammer that reduces dash range

[brave fulcrum]

same

[chilly silo]

Same…it was tough at times but the doom-stacking made up for it

[upper tangle]

So strong

[primal crown]

heroic hunter mark doing wonders

[upper tangle]

I don't even remember why I picked that

Probably no other choices

[primal crown]

hunter mark is great, was laughing about rare crop picking it

[hollow jacinth]

Nah hunters mark is great

[zinc lintel]

Mark is nuts with cast builds

Lets your casts potentially crit

[upper tangle]

I guess that was a crit on bull

started the fight and he fell to 40% first combo

[zinc lintel]

That’s a cracked ass build too god damn

Mirage, rav will, Chaos Shot and Grasp

Charged shot

Shoals

[upper tangle]

Yeah the stars aligned

[opal shoal]

You got mirage in elysium right

[upper tangle]

I had it yes
yes

[crisp ginkgo]

Yeah seriously poggers

[royal sphinx]

g

g

[severe jungle]

To be clear, I was not trying to flex

Some people said it looked that way

[royal sphinx]

Ah

issoke

[severe jungle]

Seriously congrats on your PB

[royal sphinx]

I jest of course

[severe jungle]

That is a very good time

[royal sphinx]

Flurry

is

..........Balanced

[severe jungle]

[royal sphinx]

zag spear

man

Spear really is a different weapon after flurry jab

[elfin quiver]

first time 10 heat and trying em 3

and somehow still got my fastest hades kill yet

epic glacial glare lvl 4 is just...

chaos being nice and gave +1 cast

[opal shoal]

Meme beam

[crisp ginkgo]

glacial glare is super based

[lunar peak]

Much faster than my normal clears, but not fast enough, satyr tunnel rng sucked

[opal shoal]

Heroic dash pog

[lunar peak]

Heroic: 22 damage

[opal shoal]

Stonks

[ember gull]

I finally did it! https://i.imgur.com/KZlmZxi.jpeg

[primal crown]

congrats! not even close

[ember gull]

i had two more DDs!

haha

[primal crown]

didnt zoom in so i didnt notice them lmao

[ember gull]

i kept trying it with Poseidon attack thinking wallslam and rupture would help me a lot more, but aphro was definitely the play

bigger dam, bigger crits

[elfin quiver]

question: why did you go dd in high heat?

[ember gull]

is that a bad idea haha

[primal crown]

most people use lc4 with stubborn instead

[elfin quiver]

wait I read 52

[primal crown]

but 32 heat with DD is not that bad

[elfin quiver]

it's 32

I read it 52 my bad

[ember gull]

oh god i could never do 52, i just wanted that skelly statue lol

ive never been that good at video games, so im pretty proud nonetheless

[brave fulcrum]

I did my first 32 heat with DD

almost didn't make it

had to do hitless hades fight

[primal crown]

i did 32 with DD and lc3 lol

[ember gull]

my first couple tries were with em4
i quickly realized that wasnt a good idea lol

[crisp ginkgo]

Beating 32 is a hell of an accomplishment

See what I did there

[ember gull]

[viral elm]

i wanted to do a funny talos + poseidon special build that someone here suggested but the game didnt offer me poseidon special after like 4 poseidon boons so i ended up with this

[opal shoal]

Sad

Exclusive access tho

[viral elm]

yeah exclusive access is pretty cool

shame i got it only at the end of elysium

[chilly silo]

Dang, good job regardless…bummer the special didn’t show up…I’ve def had dozens of runs where my main goal boons just never show up…

But, I did the Talos Yo-Yo yesterday and it is fun, so def try again sometime!

[lunar peak]

Just tried Aspect of Rama, I like the special, which would go great with Zeus Special I think, and now I have 30 wins total and 30 losses total ever.

[viral elm]

30 wins and 30 streak, very impressive

[lunar peak]

Thank you 😄 All on different heats for bounties, maybe since it's low heat it helps, that and having godmode makes it less impressive

I'm at 25 prophecies done

Grinding more

[chilly silo]

No shame in god mode my friend…I used it for the first 70 runs, until I got a little bored cause finished with practically full life/DD’s a lot…and then I switched to “normal” mode…and now after 50 runs with that, within the increased difficulty, my skill and understanding of the game and nuanced builds has grown a lot, so I def recommend it, over building up a 100+ win streak…but play it how you want and enjoy it!

[austere gate]

I dont use god mode I think it’s a bit easy

[chilly silo]

If you max it out at the 80% limit, sure, but at the beginning, it can take off that edge or help you progress certain aspects of the game faster…so if time is a pretty precious resource to you, it can help make your playtime more efficient than anything else.

[upper tangle]

That went well

[crisp ginkgo]

yooooo sub 20 and didn’t lose a defiance let’s goooooo

[upper tangle]

Lighting Strike + Splitting Bolt = win so far for me

[crisp ginkgo]

Hahaha yeah if you get splitting bolt on Eris you win

[upper tangle]

Not just on eris

Fists too

[gleaming moth]

praise the lord i love your name my guy

[crisp ginkgo]

Haha cheers. Cat’s name is Lando I just went with it

[gleaming moth]

UNLIMITED POWAHHHHHHHHHHH

worlds collide when 2 star wars fan meet 🙏

[lunar peak]

Hehe attack speed go brrbrbrbrbrbrbr

[upper tangle]

Arthur very fun

[opal shoal]

another lady aphrodite run

[lunar peak]

Pog Gilgamesh run

[lunar peak]

The boss took less than a minute

[primal crown]

Huge catch gaming

[opal shoal]

When huge catch carries a run

[warm notch]

huge catch in sack room and no greece fishing spot gaming

[prisma tree]

third escape (barely)

wasnt sure i was gonna make it through styx even lol

[sage plank]

congrats!

[warm notch]

that mirror be kinda cursed. for the prophecy?

[opal shoal]

personally I’d be using death defiances rather than stubborn at this point

[past sedge]

congrats! but... olympian favor?

[warm notch]

well a lot of things other than those. i hope it was for the prophecy

wait nevermind

it not for the prophecy

[past sedge]

[warm notch]

that is cursed

[past sedge]

cursed

[warm notch]

you might want to change your mirror a bit

[prisma tree]

yeah lol im researching it rn

[opal shoal]

Wait ruthless reflex too?

yeah change that to death defiances and greater reflex

[warm notch]

also high confidence

also olympian favor

that mirror is probably making the game twice as hard as it should be for you

[prisma tree]

will do!

[past sedge]

is high confidence bad?

[wintry dagger]

not bad for speedrunning

[warm notch]

its just not worth it compared to more health unless speedrunning

[opal shoal]

What does high confidence do again

[past sedge]

25% damage bonus when above 80% hp

[warm notch]

high confidence is like what its called. for if youre confident in your dodging ability

its a win more type of talent

also that 25% is additive so it wont matter much unless youre doing a cast or status effect build

[hollow jacinth]

Its mainly used for breakpoints in Tartarus

Same with fiery presence

Those things don't really matter outside of speedruns

[chilly silo]

This build was nasty…most of the duos arrived in Asphodel…had a 19 sec fight against “Taurus and the Tool,” and then 1 min, 11 sec against dad.

[prisma tree]

YOO IT DID AGAIN!! (also forgive me for not changing some of the mirrors, i walked away from my computer before doing all of them and forgot to do it ghhgffdj)

[past sedge]

aspect of achilles + flurry jab + Zeus attack Based Congrats!

[warm notch]

32 zag sword ree also does like hypersprint and dash nova sturdy like stack or something. dad was doing less damage than i thought he would

[past sedge]

zag sword 32 heat cursed

[warm notch]

well. merciful end

[past sedge]

merciful end=free win

[heady portal]

Just as a forewarning, I am going to start removing any media uploaded to this channel that is not related to a run victory or 100% achievements. The chat and meme images are getting excessive, please heed this channel's topic and pins, thanks!

(This is not related to the above messages, but a general remark after skimming through today's content fwiw)

[lunar peak]

0 heat darkness grind run, still works for streak shenanigans

Satyr temple sucked, bad rng wasted 2 death defiances there, but the main boss fight was 🍰

[severe jungle]

Charged Shot best hammer

[warm notch]

........

was forced 2 boons in styx

close enough

[crisp ginkgo]

Still hella impressive

[warm notch]

still was more fun than 32 heat guan yu

i like how dad near murdered me at the end

[lunar peak]

Continuing the darkness grind 🙂

[grave compass]

Gotta love killing the boss of world 3 by deflecting the spear back at him for the last hit. So much dopamine

[grave compass]

Whew. The attack charged up so slow but with shared suffering, backstab, full charge and crit the DPS was enormous.

[lunar peak]

i love going for cast builds...

no mirage shot
no fully loaded
no flurry cast
no greater recall
no cast damage or +cast chaos boons
common cast boon

[lunar peak]

shield pb

[lunar peak]

special rama is fun

[chilly silo]

The ME builds continue and this one actually wasn’t bad…except I got the duo in Styx and the parts were better than the sum of them…and that point-blank, trip shot damage was chuuuuunky!

[upper tangle]

That was stressful

[brave fulcrum]

You could put other points into other than HL2

Especially when you're using fist

But I gotta admit

That build is pretty crap

Gj powering through

[upper tangle]

Yeah I am gonna follow someone's advice on better heat levels now

And I am gonna use Beowul so I should be fine

Notice the hp and defiances

so so close

[chilly silo]

Nothing like a point-blank, trip-shot from Rama to the face...while in the eye of the storm!

Rama and Dad have never been so close...

[upper tangle]

I liked Poseidon cast more on Beowulf

[upper tangle]

Bro, tell me you are an experienced player doing a fresh file, and you didn't literally streak your first 37 clears ever

[chilly silo]

Agreed…at least for speedrunning sake and with mirage shot…without it and when not in a hurry, I prefer trippy with scintillating/ice wine…

[lunar peak]

I'm a new player, first file ever

I'm on run 67

[upper tangle]

Bro, 37 streak is amazing

gj

[lunar peak]

I mean my godmode is 62% damage resistance, so I don't think it's that impressive

The impressive part is some of the heat runs that I chose

My main goal is a funny number streak

Then get to that streak on the other save files I guess?

[upper tangle]

godmode?

what

[spare cove]

Lol

[lunar peak]

The option thing in the settings?

[upper tangle]

Never noticed it

[lunar peak]

Starts you out at +20% damage resistance and the more you die, the more damage resistance you get

I stopped dying at 62% And got my first win on run 31, and from there, just never stopped

[crisp ginkgo]

69 or 420 haha

[lunar peak]

69420 streak? Dedicate my life to it?

Become a literal god and legend of Hades?

[crisp ginkgo]

Would be super based if you did

42069 may be a bit easier for the same result

[lunar peak]

Maybe, but 69420 would be cooler 😉

[zinc lintel]

Fun fact: Mirage Shot doesn’t work on Thunder Flare

[wicked notch]

God mode cringe?

[upper tangle]

What?

You sure? I noticed a huge damage spike when I picked it up

[zinc lintel]

Yup Thunder Flare doesn't benefit from cast damage increases

[opal shoal]

mirage shot is the second weaker cast thing right

[zinc lintel]

The cast itself does nothing

It only benefits off of global damage and other Zeus boons

You probably noticed Double Strike, which behaves weirdly with Thunder Flare and gives you more bolts than it should

[zinc lintel]

Mirage gives you a second cast that's supposed to deal 30% damage but on Flares it deals 100% damage

Because lol Beowulf moment

[opal shoal]

holy heck

guess I know what I’m doin after I finish my guan yu run

[heady portal]

Additionally, please keep commentary brief. Extended discussion can be moved to appropriate channels, to keep the victory channel open to others to share their own victories without interrupting conversation.

as per pin

really hate to keep reminding people of this but the discussion is excessive as of late

[lunar peak]

"Better than you" attitude cringe?

[upper tangle]

Man that was strong

[crisp ginkgo]

Wooo fully loaded when it’s actually useful!

[wicked notch]

God mode ruins the difficulty of the game

[lunar peak]

Well, it's optional, and there to help if someone needs it! :D Nobody is forcing you to use it

[tranquil sun]

How about you talk about god mode somewhere else ?

back to the purpose of this channel

[lunar peak]

Who cares? It's a game, I'm not playing it for its difficulty, drop the attitude for how others enjoy the game

[viral elm]

couldnt get the boons i wanted but it worked out i guess

[crisp ginkgo]

Being able to win ugly is an important skill my dude, congrats

[viral elm]

yeah but cut it a little close on the last fight there

[crisp ginkgo]

Based either way

[upper tangle]

I have the crits

[crisp ginkgo]

nyaa will be happy so much pink

[subtle adder]

Never been so happy for the EM4 adds to trigger Bad Influence

[lunar peak]

I beat hades and theseus/asterius with nothing but gilgamesh autodash with tidal dash

And a lil ares aid for fun

[warm notch]

@lunar peak try it with zeus dash and call with smouldering air

[lunar peak]

I JUST SMASHED MY OLD SPEED PB HOLY COW

Also 40 streak pog? And also Merciful end pog?

[grave vector]

congrats! so many boons :0

[lunar peak]

Thank you! Also got 2 prophecies fulfilled when I got back 😄

And 2 ambush boons from Chaos 🙂

[lunar peak]

Hermes even noticed my PB

[crisp ginkgo]

I guess my thing is meme beam on weapons it doesn’t belong on? @lime bane you were right, greater Excalibur aura super based

Basically turned Excalibur into Achilles w dad call lol

Not pictured: getting five sacked

(or aphro, sorry)

[lime bane]

Terrible.

[crisp ginkgo]

No room if i go meme beam 😦

also kinda mad I forgot to turn on em3 lol

[subtle adder]

Had my cast still remapped from running Beo for like 2 weeks so I dusted off Hera

[lunar peak]

Funny dash

[prisma tree]

rlly proud of this one! hope i can keep the streak going

[warm notch]

will the ruthless relfex and stubbon defiance ever be switched

[agile blaze]

Poison fists not too shabby

[sleek halo]

Thank you, Chaos

[crisp ginkgo]

Based

[tardy sluice]

My smoothest 32 heat run so far.

[winged moss]

i wish i was you

[sleek halo]

It was a super lucky run!! Good rerolls too

also idk if you can see but I definitely DID lose all my death defiances I was doing ||em4||

[chilly silo]

Merciful End Eris was weirdly effective…not recommended but was still worth experimenting

[twin karma]

Monthly challenge done! One dash fees like a different game but luckily hyper sprint. Surprised by the damage on this build tbh

Now I want to play more sword lol

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

[agile blaze]

Doom Guy tribute(1k doom dmg avg)

[warm notch]

monthly challenge dunzo . probably shouldve put in the heat modifiers

[random oriole]

one of the more unga bunga 32 clears

[twin karma]

Super soaker pog

[random oriole]

Mega soaker with triple beam

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

[grave compass]

Empty out the 7-11 XD

[random oriole]

Where's that person with the gotta go fast gif when you need it

[crisp ginkgo]

Im here don’t worry

Also calling the wells 7-11 is hilarious

[twin karma]

Itch scratched

Featuring chaos DD and the worst second hammer: cursed slash, cruel thrust, and dash nova lol

[random oriole]

oh cruel thrust

[twin karma]

Also chaos attack buff was attack maim in tart lol

[loud minnow]

I got the Platinum. It didn't take me nearly as long as I expected. Very fun game, may get the PS4 Plat as well

[warm notch]

not bad. also smh 5 sacks

[agile blaze]

Duos for days

[brave fulcrum]

thought of doing killing freeze buff

then got rocket bomb hammer

then cluster

[brave fulcrum]

smoldering artemis aid is just a bigger support fire

[lunar peak]

new best time 🙂 (last was about 16:40 with arthur)

[chilly silo]

Well done…I am working on the PS4 plat now and will def get both! I honestly can’t wait to go through the story again and see how much faster I can clear it with the experience and knowledge that I now have.

[vapid hawk]

HO YEA BABY! First 32 heat win (previous best was 16), didn’t use either of my defiances against Theseus OR Hades. Absolutely textbook, destroyed the run. Best setup I’ve ever had by far.

[low remnant]

no rockets

[upper tangle]

EM3 done

[viral elm]

with that ive won once with all the weapons

[dusk comet]

[lunar peak]

hermes would be proud

[lunar peak]

My quickest time thus far... No heat tho

[grand yacht]

I had jolted and the duo that makes jolted stay for ten secs, too.

I've also found that Zeus' god gauge boost when dealing damage is AMAYZIN' on fast attack weapons sporting the zeus attack boon. Those two plus support fire just makes you stack god gauge like crazy.

[dusk comet]

yay monthly challenge

[lime bane]

Ooooh, you have the Master Sword. Congratulations! (I don't think @fickle knot has added a checkbox for the Master Sword yet?)

[fickle knot]

I have not! Put it in the notes for now

[dusk comet]

Ye! Got lucky with the anvil and got flurry slash

[lime bane]

Nice!

I've added a note to your submission.

[dusk comet]

Thanks!

[lunar peak]

Merciful End Ares Special Athena Attack was all that I hoped for and more, for the 3 minutes I got to use it -_-

And that 3rd satyr tunnel screwed me from a sub 20 run 😢

[chilly silo]

I had the same thing happen with my last ME run with Zag shield...I guess better late than never? 😅

[upper tangle]

YES EM4 DOWN

[zinc lintel]

With fists nonetheless congrats

[upper tangle]

I think I did because it was fists. Demeter fists are my most successful runs

[zinc lintel]

That’s fair, typically fists are one of the riskier weapons to play so using them against EM4 takes quite a bit of skill so nice job

[chilly silo]

Unless you do Merciful End fists...

[candid quiver]

wait what build is that

[warm notch]

@candid quiver

[candid quiver]

thank u

[violet bloom]

im not gonna do 32 heat on this challenge so i used the speedrun pact even though im not speedrunning

ill do em4 later

[lunar peak]

Merciful end is made for Zeus Aspect ngl

[violet bloom]

kinda

[lunar peak]

Special for Doom effect
Attack for Deflect

[violet bloom]

but its mostly used on fists

[lunar peak]

But you could get the most triggers with zeus aspect special, and get the pulverizing blow for quick triggers

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

[violet bloom]

ty

[warm notch]

dashless lol

[random oriole]

how in tartarus did you live with no dash FO2

[violet bloom]

idk

ME is broken

i also got dash nova

which helped a lot
