flood shot hera is an interesting choice

#

easier to get Mirage but the casts run away so much (which is the case for all non crush shot casts lol)
I'm trying for 40 on all the burst damage casts

grim peak
#

wait that makes crush shot sound really good all of a sudden

#

I hate losing casts with poseidon

#

maybe should try crush then

random oriole
#

w. What were you using dusa

new pb, rush delivery carry once again lol

you didn't hit merciless end shadegrief

it do be like that

although you also dont have the dash for ME so that would've really reduced the dps

civic ingot

is merciful end typically the best dps duo boon

for melee builds yeah it is

idk man as

snow chasm
#

one of the best moments ive ever had in gaming, extreme measures to the max for the first time, entering the fight only to have hades say its still just himself, him literally using a call to get aid from cerberus, seeing his third phase as the screen goes dark and the music ramps up, being on 20 hp with death defiance depleted just as you get that final hit in
insane

#

What is the hardest infernal arm to use to beat hades with so far i have completed the game with varatha and malphon?

heavy solar
#

The hardest aspect on a weapon to beat the game with is chaos on the shield since it’s just aspectless shield

#

But none of the weapons are horrendous compared to each other except maybe sword because it has bad hammers

lunar peak
#

thanks but the hammer that allows the sword to deal 90 damage and is a big chop was very fun to use shades got bonked, bloodless got bonked, exalted got bonked they all got bonked, hades sent me all the way back down to the house though.

bold jolt

As expected lmao

world splitter moment

heavy solar
#

World splitter bouldy

#

Just use arthur

vivid sedge
#

and id rather do aspectless shield than like talos fists

grim peak
#

yeah chaos is fine by nature of being a shield with access to cshot

#

it's awful relative to other aspects but not to other weapons

rain ruin

You can do that too

#

Rama 50 is very flexible

grim peak
#

power of accepting DC2 and RI

hollow jacinth
#

Rama doesn’t care tbh

#

It needs hammers and 2 boons that don’t care about rarity

vivid sedge
#

well i mean epic attack is nice

#

but yeah rama is really nice

hollow jacinth
#

Arti attack

vivid sedge
#

oh arty attack yeah that doesnt really care about rarity

#

aphro attack def does though

vivid sedge

is it something bad:(

rich fulcrum

Cracked means that its like it is on drugs, enhancing it's performance.
It basically means it's a rly good weapon

is it good 4 a 2nd clear?

change the reroll mirror one too

on arthur you probably also want shadow presence instead of fiery presence

#

fiery can work but it's harder

random oriole

OF has a niche in certain speedruns but that's about it

okay thx for you advice

i am still new so i appreciate that

Arthur, big damage chonky sword, aphrodite or artemis strike would’ve been preferable but eh, what works works

I didnt read any build guides and just picked ones at random and it worked :D

Those are good picks

vivid sedge
#

he loves js3 to no end, to the point that hell put dc1 on instead of dc2 js2 or even dc2 js1 hs

grim peak
#

tbh I think what it is is that I'm terrified of dad no matter what the build

#

and as you can see in the vid I'm bad at phase 2 dad

#

so JS3 is nice for not making dad harder

vivid sedge
#

yeah but at least do js2 dc2

#

i mean i take an extra rank of js over cf any day of the week but dc1 is atrocious

#

if yourr going to do dc on an aspect that doesnt really care about dc at least do dc2

grim peak
#

lmao I'll be honest I probably would've done DC2 HL2

vivid sedge
#

ok thats terrible

grim peak
#

I have monkey brain

#

monkey brain hates big red number

vivid sedge
#

i agree with you that js isnt that bad until you get into really high heats but its still bad

grim peak
#

man I'm too used to JS3 I think

#

it's probably hurting me a lot and I don't notice anymore

vivid sedge
#

try speedrunning

#

it feels like rooms are empty

grim peak
#

lol yeah

#

I'm awful at speedrunning, arty clockets eris and high 8 modded

JS3 isn’t even bad if you have a juiced build

Which is very easy to get with ri0 ap0

#

my pb is 8:22 lmao

#

dont know how people do sub 6

hollow jacinth
#

Practice

#

I had 460 Beowulf attempts on pc alone before I got sub 6

#

And prob 200 more on switch

grim peak
#

switched to pc because no cheat engine on switch?

hollow jacinth
#

Yep

vivid sedge
#

well yeah but i look at a good run and they get like 1:30 elysium and my pb had a 3:00 elysium and im just like bruh how do you do that twice as fast

#

even when i get like pat and fountain

#

people just too good 😔

grim peak
#

I waste a minute per speedrun staring at an enemy while eris makes the out of ammo sound

hollow jacinth
#

Good enemies + good grouping and spawn manipulation

grim peak
hollow jacinth
#

I wasted 10s looking for one exalted egg in my pb 🗿

grim peak
#

this is why seeking fire >>>

vivid sedge
#

im trying to get into the habit of manually reloading and canceling with special/cast

#

but its really hard

#

like mechanically

#

i dont even want to imagine hestia

grim peak
#

that's why delta is best hammer

#

no reloading is such a qol for eris

vivid sedge
#

lol imagine delta in a speedrun

grim peak
#

ok fine not in speedrunning

#

but 40+ delta gaming

vivid sedge
#

well yeah but not for the fact you dont have to reload

#

free i frames

#

such gaming

grim peak
#

it's kinda also that for me tbh

#

like 30 70

little rivet
#

damn it took me 14 tries before escaping =/

#

at least I did it 4 times in a row now

vale kestrel
little rivet
#

is it?

heavy solar
#

Damn bro

vale kestrel
#

Yeah

heavy solar
#

My first escape was attempt 50 on the dot

little rivet
#

oh 😅

vale kestrel
#

It's not the most uncommon thing to hear about people taking 100+ tries to escape

little rivet
#

I thought I wouldn't be able to repeat it

heavy solar
#

Don’t worry I’m better now

vale kestrel
#

I took 30 tries myself

little rivet
#

because I cheesed the hell out of the final boss using a dodge build

vale kestrel
#

Dodge stacking ftw

heavy solar
#

I’m working up to that higher than 50% win rate

little rivet
#

but then I did it 3 more times with completely different builds

#

so I guess it wasn't a fluke?

vale kestrel
#

Knowing how to build certainly helps an awful lot

little rivet
#

my first was with aspect of chaos shield

#

and I thought it sucked

vale kestrel
#

It does, but you don't

little rivet
#

turns out it does suck when you only invest 1 blood 😂

heavy solar
#

Aspect of chaos sucks

little rivet
#

then I won with aspect of hera bow

#

honestly no idea how I won that

#

my build was complete trash

#

then aspect of talos claws those slapped everything lol

#

that one was omegaclose though, only had like 20% life left last life

#

and now with the rail (aspect of eris but only 1 blood so 15% dmg meh)

#

I got the 5x bomb and rocket hammers

#

which slapped

heavy solar
little rivet
vale kestrel
#

That certainly helps.

little rivet
#

although not really hack 'n slash (but thousands of hours in d3/path of exile)

#

I think the most similar game to hades I've ever played is a niche game called FORCED (also FORCED SHOWDOWN but didn't like it as much)

#

not all that relevant though 😂

#

which aspect would you guys recommend I try (without investing a lot of bloods)?

heavy solar
#

They kinda all get better with blood but zeus shield and then just take zeus flourish and more and more zeus boons😎

little rivet
#

now I'm wondering if I should restart in hell mode 😂

#

probably not though I wanna explore the game

vivid sedge
#

hell mode just forces you to have certain pact conditions

#

thats all it does lol

#

it adds a new one called personal liability that means you dont get invulnerability after a burst of damage like you do normally

#

it also forces you to take hl1, lc1, js1, and cp1

you dont worry about boons since you have shackle

well the thing is with ap2 you can be forced into an attack boon

which isnt good

hestia might (?) be better

theyre both great with shackle

hestia is def better

on my last run i got forced to take explosive shot and died

yeah if you really wanted to keep the ri2 i wouldve done ap0 fo1 td3

because rama needs hammers

td3 is so painful tho

also i am absolutely garbage with fo lol

you beat that run in under 20 minutes anyway

i mean its better than RI2 AP2

you seem to have times pretty consistently under 20 minutes so i think youd to fine on td3 lol

I can tell you're a newer player who's not too familiar with all the game mechanics! No worries, let me help you out on learning about Demeter's Keepsake.

The next Boon you find will be from Demeter. Her blessings have +10/15/20% chance to be Rare or better.
So this Keepsake ensures that the next offering from one of the eight standard Olympians will contain Demeter. This effect will also persist until you collect one of her Boons. It has the additional effect of increasing the rarity of her boons in terms of Rare and Epic. Note that this effect increases with level, from level 1 to 3, and has a fixed +10% chance for a Duo or Legendary Boon to appear, if you have the necessary prerequisite Boons.

I hope you enjoy the game as a new player and feel welcome to ask any questions about basic game mechanics you might have!

second run with Rama.. do you think i did too much special damage?

primal crown

Rama special only is the only way to play the aspect

grim peak
#

special only rama is unaruably the only way to make this trash weapon useable. and even then its only somewhat useable since it only has access to one special hammer. its basicially nothing compared to the superiority of chiron. the attack charges up way too slowly to be useable and shared suffering is a gimmick at best, it adds nothing to help pulling this aspect out of mediocrity. if youre lucky enough and get repluse shot you might - and I say MIGHT get the chance to actually get an attack off with this thing, and even then its simply not worth it. the attack speed is way too slow and the damage completly pales in comparison to actually fast hitting aspects like gilgamesh. its sad to say but supergiantgames design philosophy of making most hidden aspects basicially a slow and unusable version of their base weapon has backfired completly. first beowulf - now this. hidden aspects are supposed to be strong and rewarding for the sheer grind I had to go through to unlock them. I dont even know if I want to unlock hidden rail at this point

I can tell you're a newer player who's not too familiar with all the game mechanics! No worries, let me help you out on learning about Athena's Keepsake.

The next Boon you find will be from Athena. Her blessings have +10/15/20% chance to be Rare or better.
So this Keepsake ensures that the next offering from one of the eight standard Olympians will contain Athena. This effect will also persist until you collect one of her Boons. It has the additional effect of increasing the rarity of her Boons in terms of Rare and Epic. Note that this effect increases with level, from level 1 to 3, and has a fixed +10% chance for a Duo or Legendary Boon to appear, if you have the necessary prerequisite Boons.

I hope you enjoy the game as a new player and feel welcome to ask any questions about basic game mechanics you might have!
