Hades speedruns are incredibly difficult

Today we’re speedrunning Hades from a fresh file, and this makes a hard game even more painful…

Here’s a great resource I used to learn the run: https://scientific-paprika-b40.notion.site/Hades-Fresh-File-First-Run-Guide-2d647029f5c34252acbd38ad5e54b221

My channel generally focuses on a more casual side of speedruns. With these videos I want to show off cool speedruns, explain how they work, and entertain. Hopefully you enjoy the content and maybe even take up speedrunning yourself, because it is truly a lot of fun!

  6. You shouldve mentioned that taking shops is almost always the best option in a speedrun. They arent a bonus room, they replace a room that wouldve had enemies, so not having to fight makes the shop the faster choice. You would only not take it if the other option was a fountain room or something.

  8. In my opinion ares and artemis are the best combo for rushing through boss fights, especially since ares' charge attack makes you invulnerable while dealing damage as well, but his strat for athena and ares makes sense given that you usually recieve more athena boons on your first play through. I also don't speedrun but play the game a ton so Speezy might've gotten the strat from another speedrunner and it might actually have better chances of being a successful run.

  13. Love this game. Fun facts 1 and 2, taking the boss routes in Styx is generally faster, since those areas stop spawning new enemies once you kill the boss, whereas the normal ones will just spawn continuous waves until they’re done. Also, when hades does his first 3 laser version of that attack, you can just dash through him and smack him from the other side. He can turn around, but it’s real slow so you’ll be fine. Also IMO Athena special is not the best in the game in its entirety. Usually it depends on your build, and Athena usually isn’t in the running. Probably the best for this speedrun though. At least the first iterations. The more you play the game, the more you go for big damage numbers rather than safety

  17. I think what you've not quite explained (or if so, I missed it) the important part about your dash (and getting a second dash in later runs) is that the only invincibility frames you get are actually during the dash.
    But that is the only thing that kept me from freshfile runs, it's so damn hard compared to anything else 😀

  24. 40 to 50 hours of playing the game wrong for little payoff and loads of stress.
    Speedrunners, man. At least this is actual skill and not rule breaking RNG manipulation or "lol I skip everything" fake speedrun shit.

  25. I remember this game quite well, definitely better game than the allegedly GotY. I remember beating this game in LESS THAN 12 MINUTES, (better than that phony speedruner at GDQ who got erased since). Also 32 heat aka all 3 statues, 4th Hades, all achievements and chibi, bar the Messager (Never got good against Charon, not enough room to practice).
    Don't like the poison nor the autosave putting me with backdoor shenanigans with my stepbrother though (I'm way too innocent of a guy at times).
