  1. Can someone link the speedrun.com page with the Gilgamesh times. I can't seem to find it with the filters. Also why is Aspect a filter three times? And I can't find Haelian's zag bow or zag fists times either? Have they just not been verified yet? And how long does that take?

  2. i feel like something that made it possible for me to beat the game the first time was getting hermes to boost move speed or dash so that you can dodge hades attacks much more easily.

  3. One newbie tip I would definitely give is to figure out how damage calculations work. Namely, that almost all damage boosts are additive regardless whether it comes from your internal buffs or from statuses on enemies.
    For example, Hades spear look much more realistic when you realize that its +100% damage is just +20/25/30 damage to your attacks/specials no matter what else you have on your enemies or with yourself. This also eventually makes you realize how good is +% damage to everything because It can affect things with base damage many times more than base damage of your attack/special. And this is why, for example, Eris is ridiculous. Which, in turn, is a gateway to mixed builds which do their best when you don't focus on a single move. Or to understanding when to switch your building focus. Not typical, but it's a way to salvage some runs. And all that sets in once number game isn't a black box to you anymore, so that's why I'm throwing it all here together.
    I may sound like a broken record at this point, but it's really one biggest thing that has changed my outlook on what you can work with and what you shouldn't try if you expect to struggle.
    Although this makes me think that it's less of a newbie tip and more of a level-up tip. When you're a newbie, making controlled inputs, suppressing panic responses and learning timings is the biggest thing out there. But pointing that out isn't honestly very helpful, so…
    I guess knowing that inputting attack cancels dash invulnerability (I think that's how it works?) is also helpful, but it goes hand in hand with one of the points above.

  4. Can you please please PLEASE make some kind of speed run basics guide? I've found a lot of fun in using no heat except the 5 min tight dealine, but I'd be interested in knowing some overall basic mirror set ups / weapons / boons / etc that you consider a must have for a speedrun in a single vid.

  5. What's wrong with Trippy Shot? I've always loved having an AoE cast.

    Also, I think that Rending Claws hammer at the start was the savior of that run. It made the Hades and Theseus fights go really fast with the 50% bonus damage

  6. I just got into this game maybe a week or two ago and your videos have been super helpful with learning the game faster. I’ve played other roguelike’s but this is my favourite!
