Turns out the real strat is forgetting to lose your SD in an Athena chamber like a dummy and going into EM4 with just the default SD (and then not taking Sure Footing for some reason. Seriously, Deathless Stand without the actual extra SD is a waste, I needed to slow down and actually use my brain there)
Super ideal hammers here, though. Great phase 1 dad summons, too; I’m always thankful for a distinct lack of butterflies. Killing Freeze acting as a Forced Overtime downgrade for most of that final fight was REALLY nice. Finally changed to Battie and still forgot to use it for the entire Hades fight.
Sorry for the pauses in phase 3, I had some trouble actually collecting myself and keeping calm for obvious reasons.

new WR? wow!
So the only conditions you don't have maxed are routine inspection (2 out of 4) and approval process (1 out of 2), right? It's kind of hard to make out from pausing the video because you go through the pact so fast. I think that's slightly different from your 55 heat clear where you didn't max out calisthenics program. Are you going to keep trying to clear higher and higher heats after this, and if so what condition would you add next? Really impressive work here, I'm kind of in awe of it to be honest. Congrats on the new world record!
That's just incredible man, congrats again! I knew you could do it!! That last fight against full-powered Hades with only 1 DD, just … wow!
Tailesque, fantastic run. You were on another level in elysium. It's as if you entered a flow state. You were playing melee style amid the waves of enemies but still avoiding damage. Incredible. But in styx room miniboss room #1, shouldn't you have purposefully lost your stubborn defiance in the athena room? That way you would've had 2 defiances. (Edit: I just read you video description.) Also, either you were either getting super lucky against hades' spins or you've figured out a damage-free zone in them in phase 1. I'm inclined to think it's the latter after repeatedly witnessing your virtuoso skill. Also, you didn't use meg against hades. (Edit: Also mentioned in video description.) Finally, rama's damage numbers occasionally don't make sense to me. Ex: 2 rama dash-attacks before final rama dash-attack of phase 2. Why are there 3 numbers? Also 1307 vs 1232? Neither is 60% of either. Another ex: final rama dash attack. The damage calculations are unusual sometimes. Also, does triple shot have some kind of hidden negating ability similar to repulse hammer upgrade? At times, it feels like it stops enemy attack animations. In any case, congrats on the new world record.
Hades on extreme measures without bonus dashes and death defiances… Damn, very impressive!
Doing this without the Athena DD cheese is insanity to me. Well done man! Max heat one day I reckon
This is insane!
clearly the hardest decision in the run was choosing between rare crop and crystal meme
Is it even possible to reach this heat level with other aspects? Seems that Rama is the top tier weapon with its AOE dmg for clearing rooms.
Crazy skill level. I liked the brightness trick at the end.
huge. and the sturgeon. you musta been sweatin. props.
Oh thank hell you got the fish. The whole thing wouldn't have counted, otherwise!
Awesome run, could you share your mirror setup please?
When Zagreus said "NO NO NO" in Hades Phase 3 I felt that
Well done.
Would be very awesome if you had catched an epic fish in the end 😀 gz
Crazy.
I can't really beat Hades 4 if 100% damage and 40% speed are both included.
It's too much XD.
I would've been really upset if we didn't see what fish you caught, fishing is the true endgame
It's amazing. Can you upload with chaos shield with high heat level? I want to see what you play with chaos shield but there is no video.
Does anyone want to explain the pauses for me? Is it game manipulation or just thinking time?
* No Duo boons
* No legendaries
* No extra DD
* No extra dashes
* Max boon only lvl 3
and you managed a 56 heat clear ?????????? Holy molly
9:15 could open up the codex after picking up the heart. the animation will still play in the back without the clock ticking.
Impressive
GG man!!!!!!!!!! I loved it, no gimmicks just pure skill, the only thing you really got lucky with was the hammers, Amazing use of Rama.
that Cerberus call Hades used was straight up BS and it cost you the death defiance, usually that spot were you stood is safe but even when you backed out it got you, unlucky but still pulled it off.
Holy powershots Batman, I needed those pauses too and I wasn't even playing. Ridiculous run, congrats!
