Major thanks to Vorime for permission to use his video and consulting on some questions about the run. Check out the description on his video for a list of all the people who helped achieve this amazing new WR.
FAQ:
Q: “How do they know what to do in each room?”
A: Trial and error where the person who routed the run has to find out what enemies/chamber type/rewards are in the next room one seed increment at a time. They have to reload savefiles to keep using the same seed also. (I’m a little behind on what tools are available now so it may be slightly easier than I indicate here)
Q: “Is this allowed?”
A: This type of run has its own category on speedrun.com called Seeded so yes it’s allowed there but not in the Unseeded categories.
Q: “Why Eris rail?”
A: Some other routes have been created with other weapons such as Beowulf, you’d have to ask the router (pseudonym7777) why exactly they chose Eris. Eris is considered a very strong aspect though so it seems natural.
Q: “Where can I learn about speedrunning basics?”
A: I have an overexplained speedrun video on my channel but some great runners have put together this video that explains things really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bxwSsTPubI

My good friend and prolific Hades speedrunner Cgull has a more in depth video about seeded speedruns and how they work here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHdt35TDvNY
It's… Just… Is it even fun to play at this point 🤣🤣🤣
watched this live and now watching on Youtube… we're built differently
I don't know if it's accurate to say the seed changes. The seed just determines what sequence of values the RNG will pop out. The reason you perform certain actions is to skip values you don't want.
For example, lets say my seed makes the RNG pop out 3, 7, 4 as the first few values. 3 was used to determine my current room. I want the next room to be generated based on 4, so I trigger something like random dialogue, so the game will ask RNG for a number and burn through the 7 I wanted to skip.
This is what happens when Zagreus becomes one of the Fates by means of Chaos.
Light mode? You absolute heathen
