raw quiver
violet bloom
#

i got sub 13 with beo so i just gotta go faster

#

how hard could that be bouldy

raw quiver
#

Sounds hard tho, I haven’t even done sub 20 with any weapon yet

analog spade
#

been trying to get chaos's legendary for a while and the first time i get it i get two of them 🤦

#

ignore the death to the gosh dang furies, its for variety in my death defiance icons

violet bloom
#

shouldve taken skelly keepsake to styx

analog spade
#

pardon?

violet bloom
#

skellys keepsake gives you another DD

#

take it for the funny

analog spade
#

OMG

raw quiver
analog spade
#

UR SO RIGHT

#

I FORGOT IT DID THAT

#

I did run out of acorn on hades and went in with half health so i probably would have lost a defiance which wouldn't have been nearly as satisfying as ending the run with 5 full death defiances lol

#

also eris+hazard bomb is optimal i swear

8 heat on gun berryKAWAI squirtyay

#

no gun run is complete without rocket

shy quiver
#

I decided to do a exit wounds build but forgot to do fated persuasion

#

I had everything you could possibly need, including epic flurry cast, support fire, and +4 bloodstones, but my stupid 5 artemis's never gave me exit wounds

#

And Hermes leg and bloodstone drop time decrease

#

Luckily I had splitting bolt/double strike to go with my thunder flourish Zeus shield

so when is it normal for my hands to stop shaking?

Stacked Chiron run

vagrant ice
#

the run with the more core common boons got me my pb on this save file bouldy

hollow spruce
#

Damn. Tried to force smair, got literally everything that would have made smair broken, no smair. Still beat up my dad though

#

I was reduced to spamming sword special in his face and occasionally, slowly, throwing call

hollow spruce
ebon berry
#

mirrorless too

#

I did 60 with this strat not too long ago

hollow spruce
#

I hate how much I like that

#

How much damage are you realistically doing

#

And how did you do it in 19 minutes

#

If that were me trying to do that I'd just be stuck in block mode in the corner crying

ebon berry
#

Normal attack-charged shot is about 350 damage

#

You can repeat this very quickly for absurd damage

hollow spruce
ebon berry
#

you just want the first hammer+boon

hollow spruce
#

Yeah for the ballista experience

#

Why aphro?

rain ruin

Big% and damage reduction is good

That looks close to my 54 lol

After dying a ton to em4 i think ive got em3 dad pretty locked down

ebon berry
#

Waiting for your 58squirtdevious

hollow jacinth
#

still took a few stupid hits but nowhere near as many as em4

rapid fern
#

First try with EM3 \o/. I rly love Plume + Zag Fist, i think i found my fav gamestyle there ^^

#

But i loose too much health because of traps (they caused 1 death, and the other one was because of poison, as always :p). I should be more carefull about traps. I sometimes move/dodge too fast and then do some stupid mistakes

#

but i suppose knowing where we fail is the good way to get better

indigo juniper
#

my fastest run!

crimson osprey
#

There we go

#

Hoarding slash with caustic affluence and side hustle

Actually not bad

#

Couldnt get caustic affluence tho

And purged side hustle at the end

Frost strike is pretty good tho

hollow spruce

What were you angling for

violet bloom

no kf shadegrief

hollow spruce

KF?

rain ruin

killing freeze

lunar coral
#

Tried to force Sea Storm Chiron, it worked pretty well except for the part where Poseidon didn't offer Sea Storm until Styx (even though I met the conditions since the beginning of Asphodel)

#

Would have loved to have thrown in Zeus legendary in here too for maximum funny but RNG is a cruel mistress

hollow spruce
lunar coral
#

It is fun indeed. Do get Double Strike if it's offered, but that's typical Sea Storm advice lmao

hollow spruce
#

imagine getting that duo that gives you a second cast projectile on this build

lunar coral
#

? Casts? Why would you be using those

#

You must be thinking of Hera

hollow spruce
#

oh wait im stupid lmao I thought you were using posi cast

#

nvm

lunar coral
#

Nope, posi special to maximize the amount of shots lol

hollow spruce
lunar coral
#

Maybe, but I prefer Hangover on Chaos shields. Speaking of which, it's the build I'm running right now

hollow spruce
lunar coral
#

Thank you very much to Aphrodite for not offering the Duo boon that would have made this run infinitely better <3

warm notch
#

peer pressure bouldy

lunar coral
#

increases the amount of hangover stacks i can apply to weak foes

#

i had passion dash

hollow spruce
lunar coral
#

Anyways, Crystal Beam meme dream. Athena saved this run, and my winstreak with it lol

hollow spruce
lunar coral
#

Oh trust me I shouldn't have, but a Divine Dash lucked into the the Athena + Demeter duo which made survival of the Hades fight without Death Defiances possible. Also Athena's call saved me, like, twice.

#

if Patroclus wouldn't restore my Death Defiances, had to make do somehow lol

#

I also decided to crank up the Heat to 8 instead of the 6 I actually needed because apparently you get 5 diamonds from it. Gotta unlock that music, no thanks to capitalism.

Oops, I Did It Again

#

Tbh, I hardly used the actual Aspect of Chaos itself except when Chaos said "no attacks >:("

primal crown
#

Nice priv status

lunar coral
#

I didn't pick up Privileged Status wym

violet bloom
#

"didnt pick up privileged status"
has privileged status

lunar coral
#

No really I didn't pick it up

violet bloom
#

its a mirror talent

lunar coral
#

oh right

violet bloom
lunar coral
#

I would have gone for Family Favorite, but I started the game like a month ago and I still don't have enough Darkness to max out the mirror

#

mostly just getting stuff like Fated Persuasions / Authority and whatnot

#

so i usually just stick to ones that I know I can usually pull off

#

If I had gotten, say, Dying Lament I absolutely could have used Priv Status to its fullest but I never ran into Aphro

rapid fern
#

First Gilgamesh Run and first try heat lvl 9. Start of the run wasnt that easy, took some serious damage but then it ended well :). My fav weapon for the moment i think. Now i need to upgrade them and start to do higher heats 😄

primal crown
#

Sir i think your special-attack are swapped

rapid fern
#

yeah i realized that xD

#

but it worked somehow

#

they attack slow so yeah, athena attack isnt very effective

daring edge
#

This build was fun

primal girder
#

finally beat dad with all weapons

hollow spruce
#

also respect the 325 HP

hollow spruce
#

Here's the result of that horrendous spear run

#

The only reason I won that game was Lightning Rod

#

Aphro cast into empty air, and I just let the lightning hit with my stacked zeus secondaries

#

hit call when i could, kited Hades with the odd attac

warm notch
#

zeus stonks

hollow spruce
#

idk why hadestubers keep saying zeus is the worst boon

#

hes actually busted

which ones thanthink

hollow spruce

and im like bro they dont have to

#

also, smair, seastorm, lightningrod

#

idk i got into it in the comments with some guy yesterday lmao

#

Wow. Have they played the game?

hollow spruce

yeah idk

#

also i just realised shield with lightningrod would be so stupid

literally brainless gaming

#

i just played the game a bit i guess

lunar peak
#

But 6 mins?

#

It s ~8 sec per chamber

rain ruin
#

Well it's not exactly like that

hollow jacinth
#

A lot of chambers take 0s

#

Story rooms, transition rooms…

#

Chaos, fountain, than, survival take 2-5s as well

viral elm
#

basically a combat especially when BF decides to take a stroll around the room at the end

grats on the run! a v nice milestone to hit

cold creek

vocal axle
#

zeus/poseidon eris with the 5 attack special is bonkers

ivory kernel
#

in fact, there comes a point where once your build comes online and you arent choking your gameplay, the only thing stopping chambers from being being 5-10s clear is when some random straggler enemy happens to spawn/run to the opposite side of the map and you end up spending time chasing the fker down

#

that and enemies taking forever to spawn

#

and both these issues are somewhat mitigated by taking forced overtime pacts

#

but I guess that's also a skill in itself-- optimizing your gameplay to account for things like mob AI and spawns

#

with stuff like trippy shot and rail special, you could effectively spawncamp enemies by pre-firing the nukes at the spawn circles

#

you could also do stuff like luring a bunch of enemies into a single cluster so that they all die to AoEs

cold creek
#

almost all of my boons are rare lol

ivory kernel
#

ayy new PB for speed

#

maybe I should up my game to forced overtime 40% lol

Zag shield gaming

high flint

I finally beat 32 heat, and even got an artemis legendary in the process!

Em4 fo2 shadeohboy

zinc lintel

hot damn

#

That is a build

high flint
#

with the shield i don't hades to be too bad, actually

#

well, he did take 2 dd's off me

ivory kernel
#

still, that's helluva more brave pact choice than I did for my 32 heat clear lol

primal crown
#

Also yeah spicy build

zinc lintel
#

Well when you have 4 casts with Trippy Flare Beo I don't think Dad even exists for too long

high flint
#

i often lose dd's to lernie, random elysium stuff, and mini bosses in styx so i didn't want to remove em4 to make those harder

zinc lintel
#

Stubborn Defiance helps in that case

#

lets you get a DD per room

#

more overall health for the whole of the run

high flint
#

i might try it. I've seen people use it with full lasting consequences. I just get scared how it only heals you up for 30%

ebon berry
#

rama mia

#

here I go again

primal crown
#

Angw games too hard

#

Love to see it

high flint
#

well i tend to reroll kinda hard until i get a good early tartarus, so when i do get a run it usually ends well

#

oh wow

nailed 32 heat finally

Interesting pact

fiery frigate
#

yea, the one i got to the daddy fight had EM2 and hard labour 60% but dmg was too high

#

also EM4 is too big of a struggle for now

primal girder

had some terrible reroll luck so it could’ve been significantly better but

yeah I'm perpetually 1 heat behind my max runs 😅

because of the zero-heat run

raw quiver
#

True

shell void
#

aaaaagh yeah losing the 50 streak made me quit the game for a month hahaha

#

I was h o p p i n g mad

#

game gets too hard above like 18 heat for me to get consistent clears tbh

raw quiver
#

I only have a streak of 2 out of 15 clears so far

shell void
#

I mean I think most people don't do the thing I do where I go one heat at a time

#

the almost-50 heat streak was between heats like... 5 and 13, I think

raw quiver
#

Im probably going to go up by 2-4 heat when practicing for 32 heat to feel more of a gradual difference in difficulty

shell void
#

I think the only thing I stand a chance at 32 heat with is zeus shield

#

my clear rate with that thing is absurd

raw quiver
#

I love the Zeus shield

#

I haven’t actually cleared with it more than twice I think, but I love how I can just run and watch the special do all the work

winged iron
#

i beat hades twice after 64 runs :D

hollow spruce

the first one was way earlier but i upgraded exagryph to be a bazooka and shredded everything without moving and i don't think that counted

you ever get an unarmored elysium bouldy

ebon berry

Were you not carried by the HEROIC artemis attack? thanthink

viral elm
ebon berry
#

Just run BP

lunar peak
#

what is unarmoured elysium

ebon berry
#

Too many unarmored fellas

#

They have low difficulty value

#

So the rooms take substantially longer

lunar peak
#

wouldn't unarmoured mean that they take less time to kill = less time to clear the room?

rain ruin
#

Well when you have a strong build it doesnt actually take any more time to kill armored stuff

hollow jacinth
#

Unarmored enemies spawn in one by one which takes ages

rapid fern
lunar peak

yeah, spin hammers

#

especially quick spin and massive spin

rapid fern
#

with Guan Yu? The spin is stealing life and that's the point of the build then?

ebon berry
#

I recommend charged skewer, its a lot more damage

lunar peak
#

yeah but spin is fun

ebon berry
#

Especially if you put aphrodite or artemis special on it

rapid fern

ah yeah i saw a Haelian run with that. He's just using his special and that was working very well

i got a cool spin attack build :)

is that drunken dash?

yes

primal crown

ouch

twin karma
barren osprey
#

swapped thunder dash that was rare to epic drunken dash

twin karma
#

The most recent application of hangover is the damage used. So if you applied hangover with your attack and then an enemy is hit by your dash you get the weaker dash damage instead of the attack

#

Tldr don’t take multiple instances of hangover

barren osprey
#

noted though i wasnt dashing alot

zinc lintel
#

Yea just in general you want one main source of hangover and no others

#

Dio is a social butterfly he wants other gods on your core slots

i wanted to do a flood shot build and ended up here

I also got the legendary boon on that one :p

And the run i did just before. I love that legendary too 😄

#

Nothing related to the build but i'm now more confident with the mirror (im talking about the questions i posted a few days ago about Gods' pride/legacy and Privileged Status/Family Favourit). As i start to know some builds, i know what i'll be looking for and then adjust my mirror to it. A big thanks to all of you because you rly helped me :).

#

Im close to having all my aspects maxed (i need to finish the shield/bow/rail hiden aspects) and then will be able to focus on higher heats :D. Can't wait !

From the screenshot looks like every pact option is maxed, what is missing for 64 heat?

swift chasm

It basically removes all mirror boosts, right?

ebon berry
#

correct

#

anything that isnt shield cant handle routine inspection 3 without also resetting for dashes from hermes

#

(which is awful on approval process2)

The top unmodded run is Hera

Pulverising blow works too

Also you want to turn off tight deadline

to get the survival rooms right?

ebon berry

It disables the tartarus survival rooms, and those pause the ingame timer

speaking of which, the timer mustve hidden itself when I click out to take the screenshot

there it is

ME

#

Specifically the first one

raw quiver
#

Alright I get it. I thought Athena fists was supposed to be good, but I get the problem

#

The problem is I didn’t proc doom when specialing

zinc lintel
#

I’m sure it’s fine but doom attack is definitely the better choice

#

Cause you attack then dash

warm notch
#

athena fists just do no damage

zinc lintel
#

Then do that over and over again

raw quiver
#

Bc most of the time I’m finishing off the enemy when specialing

zinc lintel
#

Yea fists wants a % damage on its special anyways

warm notch
#

you can also dashstrike into a dash special by quickly pressing attack, dash, and special

raw quiver
#

I’ll remember that next time

zinc lintel
#

Also for context “Nice ME build just missing one thing” is my favorite thing to say about ME builds with no ME

Pretty damn spicy build imo

swift chasm
#

So Flurry Show is actually pretty good? I used it once but I wasn't sure

hard solar
#

Slightly depends on the build, but generally very worth it.

hollow spruce
#

this was another highly silly run
Tried to force Seastorm early, then got Artemis cast and heroic special so went Lightningrod, then actually got Seastorm midway through elysium

swift chasm
#

I think Rama doesn't have that upgrade?

ebon berry
#

correct

#

its also great on zag bow if you also get twin/triple shot

rain ruin

Spicy dmg I feel

rain ruin

It was good overall

Start with Poseidon keepsake Tart
Get Ares attack, Athena special and dash

Lost all my death defiances but found Patroclus right after I lost it 😉

and a fountain in Elysium

What a luck residentzag

broken quartz
#

I knoww

#

It’s great

#

Seriously though there was one run where I had Stubborn Roots and barely survived

#

And one where I was using the bow and made it with just 7 health left

broken quartz
#

My call regenerated on that one so I waited to use it at full strength because it was Aphrodite

707th on src apparently

hollow jacinth
#

WR is exaclty half that

rain ruin
#

It's less

broken quartz
#

My runs usually take a little over half an hour

#

I consider that pretty good

rain ruin
#

It's a fine time but if you're consider getting into speedrunning or high heat you have to bring it lower by quite a bit

broken quartz
#

High heat?

ivory kernel
#

cuz of tight deadline

broken quartz
#

Ohhh yeah

#

Not doing that till later

ivory kernel
#

at 30something minutes, you effectively can't run tight deadline past 1 point (9minutes per floor)

#

you'll eventually want to bring it down to like less than 28minute runs or less than 20minute runs in order to survive tight deadline with more heat put in them

broken quartz
#

Ok

rain ruin
#

more memeing

#

OMG EM Hades is no joke first time facing him almost didnt make it

ivory kernel
#

new PB dusa

#

hilarious how I somehow got seastorm even tho pulverizing blow removes the knockback

ebon berry
#

Maybe try the meg companion instead? Its more widely used for speedruns

ivory kernel
#

yeah I'm gonna learn battie soon enough

#

tho antos works surprisingly well in some minibosses, and is functionally almost identical to meg in a couple others

#

i.e. since 2 attacks come out of antos, it can 1 shot the sneak's armor, then immediately kill him after

hollow jacinth
#

The speed of Battie is what makes her good

ivory kernel
#

yeah I might spend a couple of runs to learn how to aim her tho

hollow jacinth
#

Hardest ones are sneak, bombers and witches

#

I think the others are not too bad

ivory kernel
#

I've seen the video, but I'm just hoping its not too tricky especially since I'm not using a joystick lol

ebon berry
#

Theres a kbm specific one

#

For bombers

hollow jacinth
#

Auto aim/mouse makes them mostly straightforward

#

Bombers just kinda suck

#

There’s no real reference point

#

Just have to wing it

ivory kernel
#

for me, the biggest weakness of antos is that it almost does nothing against the witches lol

#

it can do a similar gorgon head + strip armor off the rock in the power couple fight like meg, just slight slower

#

and it consistently strips armor off both bombers without the aiming mechanics of meg, tho again, just slightly slower

warm notch
#

bombers is just praying the second will jump into your meg

ivory kernel
#

does alright against solo bull and buttlerfly since you can get it to do 3000 damage (in the case of the ball, it breaks armor, then KOs the ball after as long as you can stop it from targeting one of the minion spawns)

#

and is 1000 damage weaker compared to meg in the champion fight lol

#

but yeah, most of these are tolerable for me, but the witches fight is atrocious with antos-- so I might need to learn meg just for that D:<

warm notch
#

i only use antos if im like doing 50 on sword or something and furies are killing me

ivory kernel
#

yeah thats the one fight that battie straight up doesnt work

#

so what I learned is with my current setup, asphodel is probably the biggest factor as to whether I feel like resetting a run

#

if I get barge or witches, that's a huge time loss right there- so I have to pray for power couple

#

if I get charged shot early, I might be able to save myself in the witches fight by sniping them when they inevitably get knocked into a corner of the screen cuz haha shield knockback gaming

#

(pulverizing blow also helps a bit against witches since you dont donk them around into the magma corner)

winged iron
#

i won by so much this time, wow
never even came close to using a death defiance

rapid fern
#

Well, a big thanks @warm notch :D. I followed your tips (and have been a little lucky too lets be honnest ahah) and i managed to make that crazy build. I think i've never seen craziest damages with all the others builds i tried ahah. Im very bad at managing my casts and take them back but with some training i think i may love this build even more :D.

#

Seriously, i think i ve 3/4-shots Asterius/théseus xD

warm notch
#

actually getting arty legendary on a cast build lmao dusa

rapid fern
#

lol yeah i got it at styx in my first sack room

#

(was a 4 sacks but i dont care, i destroyed everything xD)

#

i got +1 cast with chaos too

warm notch
#

if youre confident about the amount of dps youre putting put enough to not worry about dying, id also put on charon's keepsake

rapid fern
#

Yeah i took the skelly keepsake at styx (dont know why, probably just a habit) but that was totaly useless

warm notch
#

multiple extra casts or +50% damage from wells can be pretty big

rapid fern
#

yeah ^^

#

the start of the run was hard, i died stupidly in the first rooms because i had +xxx% dmg from traps because of chaos :p

#

but after mirage shot and athena dash, np lol

#

this kind of build is absolutely not the type of gameplay i do the most but now that i understood how that work and what are the go-to gods/boons/hammers/etc.., i will make more runs with it for sure 🙂

ivory kernel
#

god sometimes I facepalm at the kind of mistakes I make when I forget about chaos drawbacks

primal girder
#

same

ivory kernel

takes +dmg from traps, walk into an exploding egg in elysium, woops there goes like 50HP

i hate +% traps damages but if i wanted the +1 cast... had to deal with it ^^

would have been even worse if their was lava at that moment

Yes, but 3 crush shots deal enough damage to one shot each enemy most of the time

I got 3 crush shots anyways sooo

hollow jacinth

So you get them back instantly

Instead of waiting 3s

Don’t the casts come out slower and take longer to come out of the ground?

you only need 2 casts, but 3 is a huge damage boost

So if there are two chaos boons

For casts

#

You will only see one of it in victory screen?

ebon berry

they both show up

Oh i see

ebon berry

main thing is to get +1 cast then mirage shot and poms

everything else is optional but helps

Yep, I know

Beo dio is harder at the beginning
