[full fern]

Ofc!

[west jacinth]

Congratulations for your run, really great time for such absurd conditions

You will easily get a sub 15 with easier 8 heat

[full fern]

Oh thanks, I appreciate that!

It really was tough lmao

Oh dang we cleared the same heat actually, nice

[hollow jacinth]

Level 3

Apart from that nice

Nice build nice time

[grim peak]

bad build, no stygian trippy flare

[violet bloom]

not a nice time if it isnt a sub 6 😔

[vivid sedge]

not a nice time if it isnt a sub 5 😔

[heavy solar]

It wasn’t sub 0 smh

[full fern]

So you know how I said I'd throw?

I didn't.

[chilly silo]

It’s been a while friends, but just wanted to drop by, say hi, and share my overall 2nd sub-10 run and 1st with Dem fists!

[full fern]

Congrats! :D

[violet bloom]

cursed

[heavy solar]

I had much fun

[full fern]

LOL right?

Literally the most disjointed run ever yet it worked

[full fern]

That looks like fun!

[heavy solar]

It was

[full fern]

I'm glad! Congrats

[heavy solar]

The bosses kind of just died

but I spent a lot of time in individual rooms

[full fern]

Yeah, some builds just do that

[heavy solar]

Super soaker was my fast boss kills yet I think… I just took my sweet time in styx chambers

[vivid sedge]

32 eris was much easier than 32 rama even with the bad build

maybe ill try 40

[primal crown]

Thats certainly a sad build

[vivid sedge]

yes it is lol

doesnt even have jolted

[heavy solar]

Beyblade shield=best shield 😎

[grim peak]

that's not beo

[vivid sedge]

chaos best shield ngl

[heavy solar]

🤨

[grim peak]

🤨

[vivid sedge]

it has highest dps out of all shield aspects

[heavy solar]

are you ok?

[vivid sedge]

what?

thats just a fact lmao

[heavy solar]

is it?

[grim peak]

🤨

[vivid sedge]

yes

[heavy solar]

it's always seemed really really bad to me

[vivid sedge]

zag shield, zeus, and beo dont take nearly as many dumps per second as chaos shield

[heady portal]

please keep the discussion to a minimum in this channel friends!

[primal crown]

Huh, what boon is below the eris bangle? Chaos boon?

[vivid sedge]

yes

assault

[west jacinth]

Another failed ME, to understand how bad my luck goes with ME, I forced Ares in Tartarus, and I get curse of agony in the first Styx route, but with this run I have defeated 8 heat with each weapon

[warm notch]

getting fated persuasion gunna help a huge amount with that tbh

[west jacinth]

Had 2 fated persuasions

From keys

Used them

[vivid sedge]

imagine 4 more. thats like an extra 3-4 rolls at ME

[west jacinth]

That wasn't even an option I got curse of agony in styx

Like I didn't have the chance to use the rerolls

[vivid sedge]

oh i mean if you got curse of agony in styx then you were never going to get ME lmao

[west jacinth]

Was trying to get Beowulf but got Gilgamesh instead, although in terms of luck the run went so smoothly, Zeus legendary in early Elysium

[heavy solar]

I got hugely lucky

Jolted alongside weaken, hunters mark, and rupture, I was almost always having privileged status active

[violet bloom]

is that thunder dash sword

[heavy solar]

Perhaps

[violet bloom]

https://youtu.be/0-QqarqzzRo

[heavy solar]

Interesting

My main damage source was my cast anyhow

Nemesis and the special were really just there for easy hunters mark application

[violet bloom]

nemesis cast build

[heavy solar]

It should’ve been poseidon sword cast build, but I hit the wrong aspect

[night meadow]

just got my first win then another one

🙂

im at 27 escape attempts now

[heavy solar]

you really hit everything for ares cast

[night meadow]

yup

and right after my last attemp (27th) w the ares cast im now in thje administrator chamber

for the first time

[night meadow]

do streaks matter?

[heavy solar]

don't think so, it's really just how many wins you've gotten in a row

[night meadow]

thirds time the charm

this time i didnt lose a live throught the entire run

[hollow jacinth]

Nice one

[grim peak]

corngrats!

[hollow jacinth]

🤣

Nice

[grim peak]

🤣

[violet bloom]

🤣

[random oriole]

the fact that the emoji looks different in the name compared to in the text is sending me

[floral void]

WOOOOOO
FIRST WIN WITHOUT GOD MODE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[west jacinth]

Aspect of Hades?

Does anyone use that

[floral void]

I
I do

[heavy solar]

The only spear I can use without wanting to die is guan yu

[floral void]

bruuh the guan yu spear is ass

[west jacinth]

I am tired can't get that chaos to give me Beowulf, the only aspect I miss and the best one

[floral void]

heal's nice and the firework is cool but you get so little health

[west jacinth]

Guan you is only used at higher levels

Like 4 or 5

It isn't ass at that point

[heavy solar]

It’s not about the healing

[west jacinth]

But guys Achilles is better

Like go hunting blades or crystal clarity

[heavy solar]

I wouldn’t be running pos attack on it if I wanted the healing

[bold jolt]

just dont get hit lmao

[floral void]

touché

[hollow jacinth]

swagbow 32 heat

[grim peak]

guan yu is op

[violet bloom]

Nice cheat engine

[violet bloom]

getting wrs is so easy no cap

The lucifer 32 heat unmodded speedrun wr

[winged iron]

lol

[twin karma]

🤣

[vivid sedge]

😂

[vivid sedge]

clockets will never cease to get old

i think ill try 40 now

[primal crown]

Thats a lot of dmg

[heavy solar]

Yup

Hades died fast

Like 1 rush per phase

[primal crown]

Was that ea before RD or nah btw

[heavy solar]

Rush delivery was before exclusive access unfortunately

I went back and found a really fun chiron run I had

Only thing that was missing was the artemis+aphrodite duo boon

[dusk yacht]

Let's go heat level 15 absolutely destroyed with almost 9 minutes to spare!

[mighty moat]

ayyy nice

congrats

[dusk yacht]

Ty ty

[west jacinth]

First 16 heat run, I had to go through all Styx tunnels

[ebon berry]

Wait

So you're saying It does get old

[floral void]

woo

[night meadow]

how do u make ur thing look like that?

[ebon berry]

house contractor

[west jacinth]

Really

When does he offer that

[ebon berry]

dont remember

he will eventually tho

they're called themes

[true imp]

First 32 at last.
Pretty anticlimactic with hestia just feeling way stronger than any other aspect at my skill level

[west jacinth]

Ggs

[zinc lintel]

After you buy the rest of the work orders

[grim peak]

yep that's an epic hestia moment

hestia lowkey broken

[slow stream]

practicing Mirrorless, chaos shield

[lime bane]

Nicely done!

[heavy solar]

3 duos mirrorless? Wow

[violet bloom]

That's a lot of boons, health, and poms for mirrorless

[grim peak]

dark foresight users in shambles

[vivid sedge]

er- oh yeah. hm

[random oriole]

Not if you don't mod

[west jacinth]

Yh I checked the wiki ty

But the prices are absurd

[heavy solar]

The doom damage really carried it

If only I had gotten relentless volley over concentrated or explosive shot

[primal crown]

Dire misfortune gaming

[heavy solar]

It was chiron bow so much hits + impending doom

[west jacinth]

Finally managed to get the shield dialogue from choas (not Beowulf unlocking yet)

[heavy solar]

zeus zeus shield is the best build in the game, definitely, definitely

[west jacinth]

It becomes even better when your attack is zeus

[true imp]

2 down...

[heavy solar]

Not quite as fast as when I was doing beo with dio cast but hades died fast

[slow stream]

that came from taking refreshing nectar

from eurydice

eris 40 done on 3rd try. the amount my skill in the game improved from 3 runs ago to now is quite amazing lmao

sadly i didnt get clockets until the end of elysium

[mighty moat]

[primal crown]

hunting blades at sack room/shop?

[heavy solar]

Around there I think

[true imp]

Despite low poms this felt like easy mode.

Had a good feeling about artemis/achilles

Main thing was I managed to not get hit too much

3 down 3 to go

[slow stream]

holy moley do you upload your runs?

[ebon berry]

I do yeah

Can stop spamming this chat with my 32s now

[grim peak]

smh spam more

[true imp]

2-sack, 5x athena dash (!!) and tods are what carried me

I've had much higher damage boons with nem but always died

[grim peak]

patty rng moment

[true imp]

Ye

Tosd not tods

TIL

[mighty moat]

finally broke out of the 10+ minute curse with this super scuffed, conch start shackle end splash nem run

[grim peak]

nice work

I feel like stygian is better than infernal for speedrunning since chaos is less likely to murder you and RD is even more important

but tiny nitpick

[rain ruin]

Infernal is better for Tart

[mighty moat]

i like infernal better though, combos well into dash strikes and for early rooms it's pretty helpful

[grim peak]

very true

I'm not sure how much stygian actually improves RD chance, let me check

[mighty moat]

got c2 chaos and ix in tart

so i just played without any attack boon in aspho and managed to get a 4:35 exit lmao

[grim peak]

double chaos tart nice

[mighty moat]

greatshields still the bane of my existance

[grim peak]

so with infernal and no rolling/plume you have a 7.34% chance of hyper delivery

with stygian it becomes 8.86%

nice

[mighty moat]

that doesn't look like a big difference?

or is the increase amplified with rolling

[grim peak]

it's probably decreased tbh but I'll check

assuming you can spare a roll for each hermes it becomes 21.95% infernal, 25.68% stygian

[mighty moat]

hmm

[grim peak]

which means stygian means you'll get hyper delivery 17% more often

which isn't nonnegligible tbh

[mighty moat]

i just don't feel comfy with stygian

[grim peak]

yeah me neither, I much prefer infernal for boiling

[mighty moat]

because i usually use them under a span of 3 seconds

[grim peak]

and I've gone back to it for high heat

[mighty moat]

i also need to run high conf

[grim peak]

lol yep esp if you're running arty

[mighty moat]

that run i had gave me all health pickups and no poms

i had 300 health wtf

[grim peak]

can't take any risks

[mighty moat]

i was trying to dodge hammer beause i don't want to get the leaping special/flurry/cursed combo

and the game just gave me health throughout ely

lmao

[grim peak]

sword moment

[mighty moat]

yep

what other weapon has hammers that make you play worse

[grim peak]

eris hazard lol

the other downgrade hammers are like

eternal chamber, spread fire, explosive shot?

[true imp]

Dread flight?

[grim peak]

yep that too

[true imp]

Why explosive shot?

[grim peak]

slows down charge time

[mighty moat]

hazard isn't that bad

i mean

it is

but still

ok maybe you're right

[true imp]

Ah.
I was thinking on hestia where I find it pretty good

[grim peak]

oh oops

I meant bow

love it on hestia yeah

[true imp]

Ooooooh.
I still use it on rama but I probably shouldn't

[grim peak]

lol same

bad habits but explosive shot just feels really nice

for some reason I feel like I do no damage with non flurry shot zag bow but actually do damage with explosive shot

maybe the area effect gives me peace of mind

[west jacinth]

Huge damage with 5 casts

[true imp]

5x heroic lv6

[mighty moat]

crunchy damage build

[west jacinth]

Another failed attempt for ME

[hollow jacinth]

Maybe try gods legacy?

[west jacinth]

Why do sword runs go awful always, I use like 5 DD replenish this run

[rain ruin]

Because this is not a safe build lol

Look for Athena on your Special

[west jacinth]

I have looked in the administrative chamber for my boon stats, turned out that the most three boons I have taken are curse of agony, divine flourish and divine dash, I only took Me 2 or 3 times, compared to other duos that I aimed for once or even never aimed for, I took them like 4 or 5 times

[stone zodiac]

JUST BEAT ||EM4|| FOR THE FIRST TIME LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO

[mighty moat]

sword hard

that's a good build though

no HR

[west jacinth]

Yh didn't manage to get it

[graceful mirage]

my first 32 heat win :))

[primal crown]

Fat jolted

[west jacinth]

Zag fists?

Is it any good

[fervent night]

Moderately good

[grim peak]

worse than dem

[carmine mesa]

Finally got the story finale!

[grim peak]

epic first try

[heavy solar]

High roll game right there

[grim peak]

you bet

blue RD with hyper and purple haste

[violet bloom]

Nice cheat engine

[grim peak]

cheat engine op

[slow stream]

practice practice

[grim peak]

lol imagine getting ultimate highroll and not even sub 8

[violet bloom]

Did you force hazard bomb in a speedrun

[grim peak]

I am not smart

[violet bloom]

🗿

[finite yoke]

first damageless hades fight with juuuust a little bit of acorn

also insane cast damage

also new record on that second run

[grim peak]

ME is bad because it makes you so power hungry you tank two boiling dad lasers in a row

[mighty moat]

sub 15 40 heat, that's pretty good!

dem as well

[grim peak]

I didn't get sub 15, ME ddash tartarus did

[mighty moat]

ME in tart

which chamber?

endshop?

[grim peak]

bought ME in endshop yeah

actually wait wtf no

got it from c11 fountain https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/nvZttnWnuQcfOZoko_cOgpj0wFFotaAjUlUCjdK5YuY/https/i.imgur.com/SqxZnx4.png?width=720&height=405

[mighty moat]

epic

no rd tho

sadge

rd doesn't exist

also technically you would be 11th on the leadboards

[grim peak]

wait what

surely not

this was my third try after realizing I was missing fists 40

[mighty moat]

because nobody plays modded 40heat runs except the goombas

https://www.speedrun.com/hades/full_game#40_Heat

very interesting leaderboard

(it's all just OckE)

[grim peak]

lmao that's hilarious

[mighty moat]

all aspects 40heat runs

[vivid sedge]

i would be 13th on that leaderboard. guess that means im the 13th best hades player in the world

[hollow jacinth]

9:08 unmodded 40 heat?

[vivid sedge]

no

[hollow jacinth]

Oh nvm this is modded

[vivid sedge]

like 16:xx modded 40 heat lmao

[hollow jacinth]

Uh I have an unsubmitted 9:xx time

14th!

[grim peak]

what was your beo 50 time again

[hollow jacinth]

Heroic DIVINE DASH

[west jacinth]

Useless tbh

[hollow jacinth]

102 damage at level 40 😩

[mighty moat]

now that is a lot of damage

divine dash only runs when

[west jacinth]

Tidal dash:

[night meadow]

got it from rare crop

:/

the special speed was alr a heroic

[royal turtle]

Talking about Tidal dash (build). Extra dashes from Gilgamesh and Zeus legendary makes this so much fun

[west jacinth]

First Beowulf win, after following advices I have just realised how incredible this is, with a bit of luck ofc 😉

[sturdy shard]

one of my best runs

[primal crown]

Fully loaded on my cast build?? Impossible

[west jacinth]

What is your cast build lol

During Elysium I was 8 casts

Parting shot gaming

[granite wolf]

beat it 60 runs in, I know it is a suboptimal build, but 3 death diffiances left was good for hades (not even any taken from theseus for once)

Thank the gods for artemis' crit and aphrodite's weak effects

[subtle adder]

God god didn’t even pop the SD that’s incredible. Nice job.

[random oriole]

How much work did that L3 exit wounds do

[bold jolt]

exit wounds hard carry obv

[random oriole]

imagine if that was infernal soul

[true imp]

5 down one to go

Had decent damage here but again the defensive boons saved me

Also this was first attempt at td2 after many failed at td3

Suited me much better with dio fists able to counter dc2 and js3

[primal crown]

Dc2 js3??

[true imp]

Yeah

Just lightly tapped everything with dio fists and ran away

Arty special and zeus call for when damage was required

[primal crown]

I wonder why you were getting time out
Anyways R o d and ggs

[true imp]

Haha

Thanks

I only did js3 and dc2 with td2

With td3 I had heat elsewhere but kept dying (including sometimes to timeout)

Having said that, this was the first time I managed to get spare dd from athena, and I got 2

And yes - good spot in the blur - R O D

[true imp]

Like the london bus

Many thanks to Poseidon for this one, plus a smattering of defensive items

[west jacinth]

First 32 win, quite happy now to see what silly statue skelly has to offer

[violet bloom]

Nice

Lvl 4 storm lightning

[west jacinth]

Random poms

[heavy solar]

My heart is pounding from how close this run was, gosh I didn’t hit rushed delivery, mirage or blizzard shot

[grim peak]

nice

flood shot gaming

[heavy solar]

Oh yeah

Floodshot allowed me to clear all the styx rooms in about 3 seconds flat

[grim peak]

PS sus

non base status cast builds should always run FF

[heavy solar]

Every action I could take was inflicting status effects either way

[grim peak]

hm

I guess if your end goal was blizz shot then PS is fine

[heavy solar]

That too

[grim peak]

that purple wave pounding though

you're the envy of beo speedrunners

[violet bloom]

Wave pounding is decent

Nice to have but you never go for it tbh

[heavy solar]

Didn’t go out of my way for it, it just showed up

[grim peak]

I don't even know what to say

[violet bloom]

Cheating

GG

[grim peak]

I will never get a luckier run

418 hp, god tier poms

[violet bloom]

Where second hammer

[grim peak]

I skipped hammer in case AP2 gave me hazard

[violet bloom]

🗿

Imagine not setting hazard to first hammer

[zinc lintel]

Fr

[grim peak]

by the end I started skipping boons too since the only thing that could've killed me was forced replacement

stupid stupid highroll

[zinc lintel]

Also guys it’s not that hard just get epic jolted on AP2

[violet bloom]

Get the boon

[grim peak]

forgot to showcase lvl3 tidal dash too lmao

AP2 is a fun and competitive heat

[violet bloom]

Smh no bouldy boon horrible run

weirdest run ive had in a long time

asphodel was literally like 15 seconds if you dont count lernie

i got offered hermes legendary (which i havent got yet) but didnt take it because epic reflex was also offered

and i didnt get most of the boons i needed until elysium where every room had like all armored greatshields backed up against walls

not to mention losing 2 dds to lernie because chaos gave me hs on 50 hp and then getting offered defiance by chaos lol

[violet bloom]

thats one big clocket

[primal girder]

did you just skip the whole biome lmao

also wow big damage clockets

[vivid sedge]

pretty much lol

[primal girder]

true aspho moment

[true imp]

I had nice synergy on boons here. Very satisfying run.

Thx athena for 2x dd

[zinc lintel]

Skull earring into Styx

Incredibly based

On zag bow no less

[true imp]

Ye I was super slow in asph and ely so I needed to be quick

Plus having a spare dd meant I felt more confident having mostly permanent +40% dmg with crits

[ebon berry]

Cant imagine that mistral dash is helping with damage

[heavy solar]

Perhaps they just forgot they didn’t have priviledged status on

[zinc lintel]

I mean it procced KF

KF with Earring and Blood Frenzy

[random oriole]

ehhh I guess it's viable?

hangover still feels better

Mark was in sack room

[true imp]

Actually it was really helpful.
It wasn't planned and previously I've avoided mistral.
But this time, combined with the extra dashes, it was really easy to apply chill and killing freeze to everything

But sure if I'd been offered pos dash I would've taken it

[ebon berry]

Was thinking hunter dash

Or Athena's

[true imp]

Would've taken them too

I've had great runs with all 3 recently which then ended when I horribly choked vs dad

[west jacinth]

Finally did it, 3 weapons to go, struggled to get this for some reason

[true imp]

Nice

Being able to handle fo2 is nice for reducing heat elsewhere

[zinc lintel]

Based build

[west jacinth]

Yh I am kinda getting used to it although I always need to get a refresh of how fast they hit at early Tartarus, like that guy that hits you with his tummy I always get hit by him thinking that he will take longer

i afk'd without pausing the game for about 3-4 minutes so the time is a bit long

[dim vale]

i went from 2 heat to 8 heat today felt great when i won

i did a tiny bit of damage

[bold jolt]

butterfly gaming

[dim vale]

what do you mean by that?

[bold jolt]

your keepsake isn't a great choice lol

[dim vale]

eh

what would be better

the one from hermes?

[grim peak]

nope

[bold jolt]

tartarus and asphodel, you generally use a god's keepsake to guarantee boons from those 2 gods, by elysium you can either pick another god's keepsake for another boon if you really need it or go defensive like acorn or skelly
before you enter styx, you want a defensive keepsake for the upcoming hades fight so acorn or skelly at that point

[dim vale]

huh i thought gettin like 30 or 40 percent damage/dodge chance was better

[bold jolt]

you wont have control of your build from the start, so you're more likely to pick up gods and boons you dont want to see with your build, so it's better go use a god's keepsake at the starting 2 biomes

[dim vale]

fair point boons are pretty important

[bold jolt]

the bonuses from the feather is good, but it's better to control what your build is

and by the time you get the build you want, the feather wont be worth it

[dim vale]

i usually just roll wth what i get

[bold jolt]

for low heat that works fine it becomes more of an issue the higher up you go

[grim peak]

that can help you learn but in the long run meta builds are so strong that you want to force them

[dim vale]

aight ty for correcting my mistkaes

ok being honest i never even look at anything meta related for hades

[bold jolt]

you'll pick some stuff up here by reading through the chats every so often

[dim vale]

ok ty

[random oriole]

I once went to do chores without pausing and ended with a 90 min run

[bold jolt]

where does that fit onto the speedrun leaderboard?

[random oriole]

953/953 on any heat

[bold jolt]

solid

top 1k nice

[random oriole]

47/47th place for Arthur which was what I used

[hollow jacinth]

Top 50 niceee

And rare deadly flourish lv.8

Entered hades fight with 1 chimeara jerky buff also

[grim peak]

oh my god finally

turns out the secret is to turn off AP2 which is vile

also shoutout to poseidon call which lowkey carried me especially in phase 2 dad

[heavy solar]

smh not water gun

[grim peak]

ah yes RI2 AP1 super soaker

[hollow jacinth]

Nice one

[grim peak]

time for new profile picture

[primal crown]

[grim peak]

epic

[rare oracle]

got 16 heat finally.

[heavy solar]

My merciless end run secretly became a cast build (and I finally got enough darkness to get the infinite theme)

[grim peak]

dreversal fully loaded true shot exit wounds bruh

I don't even get that on poseidon sword builds when I'm going for that

cracked

[ivory fjord]

I never realized how destructive casting can be with Zeus

[heavy solar]

Guess who did massive damage? Anyhow I think the new theme I bought matters more, unfortunately no Heart Rend though

[random oriole]

ah the flex theme

[heavy solar]

This monstrosity of a run gave me the darkness for it

[vivid sedge]

damnnn nice

[random oriole]

True shot is overhated

[heavy solar]

I think with this run I’ve hit the peak and everything after this point is downhill

[random oriole]

Have you gotten mirage Trippy Flare

[heavy solar]

Oh true

Gonna pull up a spread sheet to figure out how much damage I was doing on average

from each special

I think weakness was giving +19% damage as well 🤔

Probably additive though

I think I’ve gone wrong somewhere in my math

[sweet thunder]

defeated hades for my first time!!! I hope he doesn't have a third form

[heavy solar]

actually he has 905834073287098259239^22432^2224234^0059743092 more forms

[sweet thunder]

gulp

beOwOlf

[heavy solar]

ay

that's a truly epic run

was no core boons deliberate?

wait it'd have to be because you have mirage shot

straight up menace to society

[violet bloom]

i tried really hard to get core boons but they never offered me them 😭😭😭

[heavy solar]

sure

Mr. Has Mirage Shot And No Core Boons

sigma grindset right there

[grim peak]

lmao red flare

[violet bloom]

nice pfp

3 rails then beowulf

[heavy solar]

Where is zag sword on your pfp 🤔

[grim peak]

I should've had more diversity but threw a god guan yu run at dad :(

[heavy solar]

Why isn’t it there

[violet bloom]

skill issue git gud

[grim peak]

facts

kept getting boilinged in phase 1

[violet bloom]

pro tip ||dont do that||

[grim peak]

oh okay

I'll try that, thanks!

[violet bloom]

😄 👍

[grim peak]

zag sword is too cheese, 50 heat isn't an achievement

[heavy solar]

Weapon diversity is propaganda from big Infernal Arms to sell you more aspects

[grim peak]

rail good

sword bad

[heavy solar]

Swingy stick good, and pew pew good

[vivid sedge]

the only weapons are rail bow shield and guan yu tbh

[grim peak]

what about the epic zag fists plume build smh smh

[vivid sedge]

mbmb i forgot

[fervent night]

Arthur is the superior weapon

[pallid abyss]

🥳 This place is awesome! Seeing fast times makes me feel better because I can do my best!

[hollow jacinth]

Nice! Lots of health leftover, might wanna switch to tidal dash for the damage 👀

[pallid abyss]

Poseidon's dash is so strong! The build didn't rocket this time, maybe it will work next time. Thanks!

casual run on the side

[slim garnet]

At laaaast

[coral scroll]

I had a very good run, except the game decided to give me mirage shot on the literal last boon i got.. but it was still nice! Charged shot on starts of my run, first hammer

And i got better at dash -> cast 'ing on beowulf

Also, the demeter boon that resets the rarity and then upgrades the rarity decided to do it on the weirdest boon ever..

[coral scroll]

[heavy solar]

Exclusive Access? Never heard of it.

[vivid sedge]

pride doing its job right there

[grim peak]

it's pride month not legacy month after all

[west jacinth]

You have that theme, wierd

[heavy solar]

Wierd how?

[west jacinth]

Like I see it only with people that have much more progression

[hollow jacinth]

HEROIC DIVINE DASH

[heavy solar]

So sad it isn’t level 40

[vivid sedge]

whens that?

[grim peak]

never, legacy sucks don't use it

[vivid sedge]

is... is that beo i see in your pfp?

hmmm

[tawdry root]

chaos theme goes hard

[grim peak]

cheat engine

why not JS3 tho

[violet bloom]

js3 can die in a fire

[grim peak]

smh

[vivid sedge]

...no hell mode?

[violet bloom]

me when no hell mode on normal mode file 😔

[vivid sedge]

shouldve invested in a cheat engine

[grim peak]

oh shoot that's unmodded

clockets on unmodded AP1 damn

wait wait

you took CP1 over JS3

[violet bloom]

im not a cheater i dont use mods

[vivid sedge]

yeah wtf

[violet bloom]

technically second try btw

[vivid sedge]

if you arent doing hell mode no need for cp

[violet bloom]

my first try was about 2 months ago

[grim peak]

CP1 just looks normal at this point that it didn't even catch my eye

bruh

[violet bloom]

i always use cp1 for some reason

[vivid sedge]

wtf is wrong with you

[grim peak]

eris zeus attack arty clockets, takes CP1 over JS3

gaming

[violet bloom]

IM BUILT DIFFERENT 😤

[vivid sedge]

i swear i get clockets 80% of the time i play eris

[heavy solar]

BUILT BETTER

[violet bloom]

cheater

[vivid sedge]

cant wait to ap2 myself into clockets

also i really need to learn em4

[grim peak]

there's probably some poor unmodded r/hades user desperately trying to AP2 clockets because they read the sub instead of just going delta

[vivid sedge]

ive been spoiled by rocket bomb

i cant ever go back

[grim peak]

is eris rocket actually good

[vivid sedge]

idc if delta is better for high heat i just like rocket bomb so good

[grim peak]

I remember having a hard time keeping buff up

[vivid sedge]

play it like a melee aspect

i have it up like 90% of the time

[grim peak]

smh that's just eris in general

[heavy solar]

Why rely on rockets and bullets when chiron is right there

[vivid sedge]

well especially eris with rocket

[heavy solar]

🤔

[grim peak]

so I guess you dash up and special enemies point blank

[violet bloom]

yeah get spread fire

[grim peak]

hey we're talking about good aspects here

[primal crown]

Anvil said to play bad zag bow
Also wanna guess how i almost timed out in tart

[vivid sedge]

anvil gaming

charon gaming too

[violet bloom]

legit thought this was zagbow until i looked and saw chiron

[heavy solar]

I saw level 8 special and the hammers and was like

[grim peak]

chiron is bad zag substitute because you can't run the meta charged volley build

[vivid sedge]

i thought the meta build was rr zag fists plume

[grim peak]

only on unmodded since modded is cheating

[vivid sedge]

oh right

no difference between modded and seeded, gotta remember that

[heavy solar]

This is both the meta and also super easy to get consistently definitely

definitely

[vale kestrel]

I feel so small every single time I come into this channel bc I was just excited to beat EM4 without any other heat and then y'all are in here doing like 50 heat stuffs

[violet bloom]

beating em4 is a big accomplishment

dw about 50 heat there are only like 2 people who beat it

[barren osprey]

This was such a fun run to go back into. I call it Bouncy

[grim peak]

hera greater recall is epic

[west jacinth]

Phew, sword and fists to go at 32 heat but I doubt I can do them

[bold jolt]

1 hp lmao nice

[ebon berry]

Not even close

[primal crown]

Wait i didnt notice the acorn lol

[violet bloom]

cheating

[primal crown]

build doesnt even look bad, how did it take that long

ggs

[violet bloom]

cp2

js1

dc1

[heavy solar]

Decided to go through every styx room

Wanted to have most possible power walking up to hades

[violet bloom]

🗿

[vivid sedge]

this was a really strange build idea

4.5/10, but i also suck at and am not a big fan of chiron

its not great at aoe

[west jacinth]

Wtf is this pact

My 32 pact is easier lol

[coral scroll]

I decided to try and "speedrun" in my own capacity, after getting mirage shot in tartarus..

I did break my record by almost 2 minutes!

if i took the right chambers it couldve been a 13 minute one..

It was still fun, though

for the first time ever, I went ahead and killed the heroes both at the same time!

[heavy solar]

?

[west jacinth]

You are putting JS1 CP2 DC1 LC2 HS for 13

You could sty much much easier

Unless you r doing the harsh conditions prophecy

[heavy solar]

Already got that a while back

I have… uh… no clue how to build pacts

[true imp]

Low heat but still quite fun to finish in 1 second

[ebon berry]

Nice cheat engine

[violet bloom]

owo

[rain ruin]

OwO

[primal crown]

Mate you spend so long here in discord just ask they will help you a lot

You will get much better records if you adjust your pact

[true imp]

Unmodded too

Superb

[lime bane]

@primal crown @west jacinth I understand the intent, but you know... it's victory-boasting, not victory-screen-critique.

[west jacinth]

Uhm

One thing that I like about this channel is the people that give there opinions "critique" about my run which helps me a lot

I understand that like maybe some of my comments where a bit more than normal comments, but yh I was trying to help

smh stygian dio flare is better on hera

[heavy solar]

Everything worked so so well together I don’t know how to explain it

Arthur= best sword

[primal crown]

heroic aphro attack

[violet bloom]

where second hermes

[heavy solar]

Didn’t find rushed delivery 😭

Oh I purged the second hermes boon I got because I didn’t want to throw my aphro attack or the other option

[vast birch]

oh wow, two duos, one epic and heroic, lucky you

[shut ridge]

My second time beating hades

[true imp]

Nice well done

[shut ridge]

Didn't take long to do it again

im getting so lucky with the boons today

yet that was a close call

[heavy solar]

Unfortunately no Low Tolerance but even still everything worked excellent!

Plus 3 minutes off my pr for fists so double ya!

[lunar peak]

how did you get the chaos thing

[heavy solar]

For the victory screen?

[lunar peak]

yeah

[heavy solar]

It’s called dropping 25000 darkness on the housing contractor

and so I haven't upgraded the d4 or d20 past level 1 yet due to my quest for it

[hasty nymph]

I'm on a roll, 3 escapes in a row

[heavy solar]

[primal crown]

heroic nasty dash gaming

[heavy solar]

heroic drunken dash level 2 is 6 dmg what the

that feels very underwhelming tbh

[hasty nymph]

Yeah it was pretty bad, without cursed slash's sustain the run was doomed

I just got into this game and I can't stop playing, I'm fully addicted

[heavy solar]

He says with 2 death defiances and a skelly defiance

[formal merlin]

Lvl 8 Crush Shot

[heavy solar]

so uh

talk about a lot of cast damage

[primal crown]

beeg cast

[hasty nymph]

fair enough, since I kept healing on hades with cursed slash I didn't need them after all

[hasty nymph]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/975400832080171079/989364382687445042/unknown.png

flurry shot and twin shot just melts

[vivid sedge]

MEra???

that was a terrible idea

[bold jolt]

well phalanx shot on hera isn't a bad option so at least it wasn't too terrible lol

[vivid sedge]

idk its pretty bad

especially on kbm lol

[rich zealot]

good builds for starters? just to beat the game, no heat and stuff

had already like 30 runs and only got to minotaur and that other guy

they killed me pretty fast...

[rain ruin]

#h1-builds-and-combat or #h1-for-new-players if you don’t want spoilers

[coral scroll]

Woosh! This was one hell of a run if i dare say

I left it yesterday after getting mad at myself for wasting death defiances on asphodel

I got back at it today, mirage shot after charged shot and tried to be quick as possible because i had 5 minutes to get styx bag

and even worse, the first 2 miniboss chambers didnt have it

so i went through 3

I actually ran out of time in heroes fight but luckily killed theseus before dying, so no death defiances used

And dad died because i spammed everything i had

[true imp]

Nice.
I remember one of my best higher heat runs I ran out of time before the thesius fight, but had enough health that I didn't die (as I managed not to get hit much for once) and just spent my acorn killing asterius asap

Casual sub 6

[rain ruin]

what a joke

[violet bloom]

nice

[heavy solar]

nice

rookie numbers for clears though

[violet bloom]

cheating?????

[rain ruin]

Imagine getting hit on normal dad

cringe

[lime bane]

Okay but why is there a mirror though?

That's the joke?

[rain ruin]

Indeed

[lime bane]

Easy Mode gaming.

[violet bloom]

you are gonna do mirrorless lvl 1 guan yu 50 heat next right

[rain ruin]

Yes

[heavy solar]

zagreusless lvl 1 guan yu 64 heat gaming

[vivid sedge]

time for 50 heat

[hollow jacinth]

Yee hee ass build

[heavy solar]

Gods legacy was just cranking duos out

demeter gauntlets are almost as cool as gilgamesh

[grim peak]

oh wait that's fists?

then calculated risk was 100% the right choice imo

[heavy solar]

well uh

I got them all

like

[violet bloom]

Abyssal blood gaming

[heavy solar]

😎

[heavy solar]

I got calculated risk... and stubborn roots, and parting shot, and heart rend, and splitting headaches, and low tolerance... so I think in the end it was a win

[grim peak]

bruh

too bad no curse of nausea

[heavy solar]

I was going to go for it but I already had 5 gods so I decided that trying to force more was bad

plus all my duos really came at the end of the run and forcing ares would've messed that up in retrospective

plus uh... majority of damage was the special, it was demeter gauntlets after all

oh and I did end up with kinetic launcher. guess I got to see God's legacy working at full power after not using it forever

[primal girder]

curse of nausea is the doom happens when weak right

[heavy solar]

no

curse of nausea causes hangover to proc every .35 seconds rather than .5 seconds

so it deals damage faster and the damage happens 11 times per stack rather than 8 times per stack

it needs a hangover core boon from dio and a curse from ares: be it the attack, special, or revenge doom effect

[vivid sedge]

thats curse of longing

[grim peak]

I think it's the only non core/call boon duo besides cold fusion

[heavy solar]

not counting vengeful mood?

[vivid sedge]

does that make vengeful mood a trio boon

[heavy solar]

potentially

just like smair right? it needs a call iirc

so smair and vengeful mood are trio boons I guess

cold fusion and curse of nausea are outliers

or not

I guess smair doesn't need a call? I just checked the wiki

[grim peak]

it does but that can be filled by zeus/aphro

but yeah vengeful mood is the other one

[nova apex]

these are from the same run. I summoned Artemis three times against Hades, once each round. I've never had such a quick kill on the final form, too.

[bold jolt]

got pretty lucky with tartarus mirage shot then got shafted by 4 sack rip

[rain ruin]

sadness build

[vivid sedge]

modded gang 😎
also try hc, you have absolutely no issues with health

[grim peak]

yeah HC good

[left ridge]

1 HP left, aphrodite's legendary and 0 kills for Than

[primal crown]

1 hp but 3 dds

Gg

[cyan nacelle]

Bestia

[bold jolt]

that's only true with beowulf low heat but yeah i'll do that next time

[true imp]

Heart rend cos why not

[cyan nacelle]

Wtf

I didn't resend the image

Why is there a copy of that message?

[fervent night]

Discord glitches sometimes

[spark breach]

My first heated win

[heavy solar]

yay

[rain ruin]

Nice

[rich fulcrum]

Love support fire absolutely love it

[agile stream]

Especially love it with quick firing stuff like Delta Chamber Exagryph

[heavy solar]

support fire has an internal cooldown

so I'm not sure about delta chamber exagryph, but I think flurry fire exagryph doesn't shoot nearly as many support fires as you think it would

if I recall correctly

[primal girder]

not a bad build at all!

Obviously heart of stone is the most important boon there

[rich fulcrum]

How the hell

[heavy solar]

1% damage reduction really carrying

[primal girder]

how the hell what

[heavy solar]

we don't talk about not getting rushed delivery

[rich fulcrum]

Bouldy boons?

[primal girder]

[heavy solar]

[rich fulcrum]

Bouldy Olympian God confirmed?

[primal girder]

someone doesnt give bouldy nectar..

no hes better

[rich fulcrum]

YOU CAN GIVE BOULDY NECTAR

[heavy solar]

yup

eventually

[primal girder]

gotta talk to sisyphusy a lot first

[rich fulcrum]

I talked to bouldy on my last run

[heavy solar]

now it's time to play what I thought was the best possible exagryph build when I started playing

[primal girder]

should be ablr to give him nectar soon then

[heavy solar]

for memes

clearly zeus strike support fire hoping for extra attack speed from hermes and flurry fire will turn out well

[rich fulcrum]

That's just plain attack

And not the best attack either

[heavy solar]

it's not like zeus strike and support fire have internal cooldowns

oh wait

they do

[rich fulcrum]

Hermes is ez to get and if u reach elysium it gonna get daedalus hammer

So why not

[heavy solar]

because it doesn't work

whichever ares boons which makes doom stack more per hit would actually work better I think

since it doesn't have a cooldown

[long gale]

trying my best to get good again

[true imp]

Butterfly op

[heavy solar]

it definitely added so much damage

it's not like it

uh
