FIRST BAYBEEE
thirdddddd boiiii
melo axe isnt bad, its just kinda outclassed
Just so you know I really like your content it has gotten me through tough times thank you❤
Fire
how about this for d-bell: it increases your attack and defence by a big number, maybe 5 or 10% per chamber, but it also disables the effects of armor and defensive boons like mint condish, athena's deflects etc. so by the end you're flattening everyone, but you're in constant danger of getting one shot with no way to mitigate it. could disable dds as well if that's still not enough of a nerf. would be fun for speedruns, massively speeding up the boss kill time while making it so you have to play out of your skin at all times
I mean given the item's name is literally "Dan-aid Dagger" i assume there's specific game code to detect @haelian meme runs and offer it accordingly.
Mel axe is my fave axe, the damage buff gives free kills on small fry off a dash attack, and the HP buff feels really good, too. The slower swing compared Than and the lack of a damage chore like Charon gives it a more focused, methodical feel, too.
The return of the boring run!
Run idea: Aspect of pan + heroic Aphro spesh.
Good old Cuckcast
no special dialogue… devastating…
I still think the way to fix Bell keepsake is to make it persistent between runs
Every encounter gives +1% dealt and taken, built percents persist from run to run, damage bonus racks up to +100% where it caps permanently. The catch? Damage received penalty NEVER caps, after a few runs you're taking quadruple damage permanently and it just gets worse and worse
This opens an entirely new way to play, Bell streaking, where players compete to see who can get the highest number of consecutive Bell wins before inevitably losing a run to a 5000 damage stray hit from Cerberus
Accumulated bonuses and penalties reset on death or on equipping a different keepsake
Today I learned that Experimental Hammer still applies even if you change keepsakes.
Not sure if you've done this before, but I've been having A LOT of fun using Torch Moros with Apollo attack and Bloodline from Hera, with Poseidon omega splashes and Apollo legendary for good measure. The damage output from Bloodline and Omega Attack on torches is abusrd, but you do need Born Gain.
So much fun to watch a million purple lasers firing, hammers also are nuts with this
Bigger whirlwind would be great
Dan, do you know what is the current patch maximum fear clear record is?
I feel like antler and evil eye fit into the same role as a glass cannon keepsake. One being good will make the other one have so much less value
He's hangry in this video I can tell
On the Fig Leaf, it depends what you mean by "playing casually". I don't speed run but I used it on my 32 heat runs. Probably wouldn't do it on a regular run though.
congrats on boonless, almost trolled by that time bubble at the end, that would've been hilarious if you couldn't survive that xD
really hoping they change Discordant Bell to be +3%/+3%, at least it'd be interesting then haha
I think you got the stone element from that Artemis boon and then it didn't go away when you sold it? I know digging also gives you stone, but I didn't see it when you did any digging, so maybe I missed it but who knows 😛
With how many well items seem to be in this game, it makes me wish they brought over the hourglass from the first game and somehow made it stackable or amplifying single use effects to almost every item in the wells. Like stacking uses from breath of Eros or more levels gained from Sacrificial Hymn
Algorithms
When will you be trying an afk final boss build? There are many good counter dmg boons 😀
I never knew you can unlock locked room in Oceanus…
Honestly, make the Discordant Bell 5% per encounter – like it is when you're trying to go too far on the first night.
Mel axe is really fun, but I like Than axe cuz it looks freaking awesome
Mr. Haelian YouTube sir, I know we as the viewer don't know you outside of your streams/videos, but seeing your chill vibes motivates me to be more relaxed towards life as I get older. Your content is always fantastic to watch, thank you.
discordant bell is gonna be so good once they buff it because Demeter's Infusion exists, bonus damage doesn't matter if it's still just 15 😛
I use the fig leaf when I have been doing my 32 fear runs on the surface. I have been running Moros torches, and I usually get Poseidon, Hestia, Zeus, and Hera, so I can often get the +1 keepsake as well.
Haven't been able to beat it though. 32 fear surface is the last thing I have, apart from upgrading weapons with Nightmare.
Did Maurader stop working once he got Psychic?
I recently did a run where I had Strength (-50% damage taken), The heph dual boon (brave face) where you would use some magic when hit to reduce the damage you took, (also -50% damage taken, but it might be worded that it reduces even more idk how it is all calculated) AND the Selene hex upgraded where you would reduce damage taken for the encounter by 10% per cast.
End of the run the most damage received from an enemy was 18 from Heph during a trial. Chronos didn't even make the list lol.
The bell can be funny in an endless mode
4:46 Charon really just said "Naaaah" 🗣️🔥
Did they remove spiteful strength?
There's a run you should do that I think would be fun. Get the hephaestus magick regen boon, as high a rarity you can get, and try to go for the duo with hera. In theory, with the strength card, you should take 110% less damage, so long as you have the magick. The magick regen will work to counteract it as well. You could also go for the self healing infusion boon, and light smite from Apollo, and divine vengeance from Zeus if you want to go further with the build, but it isn't necessary.
I used the thanatos axe and got the hammer that reduces damage by 20% while attacking, so I had 140% damage resistance, plus 30% of that damage taken being healed. Chronos did 6 damage max, but I didn't test his insta-kill move. You'll need a crapolla of magick to utilize the duo more.
Bell is the worst keepsake, yes, but Hecate says a unique voice line if you equip it. And Evil Eye is best for new players learning how to deal with certain bosses.
Edit: Hecate says something about being upset that Meilnoe relies on the Olympians. I'd like to see a voice line where we prove her wrong via boonless build.
A Haelian thumbnail with young Mel? What a surprise.
On discordent bell: i feel like there is 2 ways they can improve the way it works without making it just worse. Option 1: make it an arcana card and give the keepsake another effect. The idea of the double edged sword that stacks over time is cool, but not on a keepsake. The keepsake could also be something more befitting "strive", where it is something like "you get X bonus if you clear an encounter in X seconds" or "without taking damage" or something. Something that makes you PUSH yourself to keep playing better and better. Option 2: make it "fully stacked" from the start. I already established that stacking on a keepsake is, in my opinion, non-desirable. So just make it "You deal and take X amount more damage" its up to the devs if they want to make it crazy, like 40 or 50 each. Or it starts out with a bad split, and once you rank it up, it starts shifting in you favor. Like 1* deal 30 but take 50. Then 2* is take and deal 40 and 3* is deal 50 take 30. Obviously just random numbers but that would be some better options in my opinion.
Guys how do you unlock the thing that allow to sell the boons at the end of each zone. I only have it between field of Morning and Tartarus but apparently, it possible to have it between every zone
Hey Haelian. I just tried a pretty silly build with Thana axe, aphro attack, hell splitter and exe chop. I also got lucky by getting artemis's deal crit to enemies in my cast. Huge damage! Maybe something you could try as well.
