yo
Thankfully I managed to beat 32 fear before the momus nerf, but I appreciate this videos so much, thanks <3
I don’t think your fear choice is really suitable for a guide… personally I would recommend a non-omega build with Demeter cast. Can pick Vow of Panic and Vow of Bitterness + Artificer arcana.
Is Dual Moonshot no longer viable for 32 fear?
Hopefully this curbs the number of “What should I do about X fear” that has to be redirected in Twitch. Feel like 4/5 last vids he’s had someone ask that question (that’s just the ones he’s responded to in YouTube videos specifically). I’m sure he loves talking about the game but getting the same question repeatedly can be irritating.
As a normie player, I have a wildly different vow setup. Prepare to laugh at me.
I want 50-75% healing. No vow of desperation. Instead, gimme more enemies. It doesn't make the game harder, it just takes longer. I'll make my first boon in each region an onion. It's annoying, but 3 fewer boons at the end of a run doesn't really matter. I don't want more than 20% damage from foes. I'll take 100% more from the first hit in each encounter (many many ways to deal with this).
Definitely worth rarifying Born Gain at the start there.
Hi
For this build another idea would be to keep some healing and do rebuke, BUT make sure to take Demeter/Hestia cast (or gale force) to proc the blue hearts. Lightning lance works too for damage and extra distance. I just think 0 healing feels bad.
Thank you so much! I needed this.
“How to beat 32 heat easily!”
2 minutes later
“It’s not gonna be easy!”
I beat it with Aspect of Melinoë Moonstone Axe with only 28 grasp unlocked. I'm a little proud of myself.
The hourglasses in phase 2 are reduced by Deep Dissent. Instead of summoning 12, one on each number of the clock, he only summons the first 6. It’s actually pretty clutch since you can murder the first 3 during his invincible phase.
So just saw the start of the video for the set up and got to Chronos first run and didnt get good boon luck so yeah seems good.
Do you have all aspects at max rank? Or are you using a custom modded save file?
Night Bloom summons no longer take damage from you BUT will still eat / block your attacks so bad with Demeter or any hard CC. Also they attack ridiculously faster now.
I just beat a 32 fear run last night using this aspect (I agree that it's the best for this post the staff nerf) but a completely different fear setup. Zero healing and ultra strict timer for me is just a no go. If I'm trying to kill everything as fast as possible to not get killed by the timer, I'm going to make mistakes, get hit, have no healing, and I'm dead. Instead, I did all the enemies and no time limit. This axe works really well for kiting enemies. Get them all to chase you nice and close together, then cast them (with scorch or something to chew through their hit absorption) and smash. You can take out like 10+ at once, then just dash and grab all their ghosts before they respawn. Repeat until the room is clear.
Demeter on attack and special is great for locking them down and dealing with a ton of enemies at once. Combined that with a ranged cast from Zeus or Hestia and something on it that does continual damage, and you're good. The Night Bloom Hex also made my run WAY easier at the end. Chronos' minions hit hard, and being able to continually turn one of them on him (since this aspect uses tons of magic, you can be raising new zombies constantly) massively increased the damage I could do to him. I think Night Bloom is the second best aspect after Moon Water, (and you could argue it's BETTER after the Moon Water nerf). NB requires zero additional tree options to be extremely effective, especially at the end game where if you don't have any upgrades to most of the other Hexes at that point they are entirely worthless.
The second phase of the Chronos fight doesn't count as a new encounter for Mint Condition, right?
You actually do get fewer enemies in chronos phase 2 with deep dissent. Without it, 12 hourglasses spawn, one by one, on each of the 12 numbers on the clock. With deep dissent, only the first six spawn
Thank you for the guide and build. The 5 min timer is brutal but I was able to get a 16 fear clear.
you should ratify born gain
The morph death explosion and morphed enemies appearing in Casts makes great carbombs.
Tried to beat 32 fear with 5 min deadline and keep failling, after the 4th attempt ended up taking a truck of unnecesary vows just to play it safe at 7 min and now i'm night's champion
I should have beaten 32 before the momus nerf, now I'm here trying to find out how to do it
How much Fear do I need to run before I start gaining Nightmare?
My fav setup for this run is Hephestus + Hera duo boon, since it works with Mint Condition and Born Gains. You can manipulate gods choices ad get it in chapter 2. After it's smooth sailing. Casual +200% damage on your special is great!
2 less primed magic from Born Gain is going to be better than flat 10 primed after only 5 Born Gains, and having just 100 max magic with a –6 Born Gain gives 16 Born Gains. Essentially 30% more total magic being 6 over 8.
But any amount of Born Gain is near infinite magic.
80 magick but 8 each time is 10 usage of special with giga cleaver
70 magick but 6 each time is 9 but in a long run with more magick its much better so that was an L to not rarify born gain
Thanks for this build! i was able to defeat chronos with 32 fear just now. Although i encountered a bug that may have helped me. died during chronos' slow spell and my next run was very slow
I think they changed something with your summoned creatures, they don't take damage from you anymore, but they take curses xD
My first time 32 fear actually was with aspect of pan with poseidon spec, definitely my favorite build so far
I actually feel like night bloom and twilight curse hexes are in a much better place now.
Lunar ray mainly still just needs to let you dodge while casting (I’ve said this before).
The buff to wolf howl makes it great, probably the best damage hex, total eclipse is underpowered in comparison now I think.
But I think perhaps a way to make these hexes more desirable in general, while preserving the current design is just to immediately give you a path of stars upgrade upon acquiring the hex. The keepsake for Selene should also guarantee she shows up as either a hex or a path of stars (same as the other god keepsakes) essentially.
What does adding Fear do for you besides make it harder?
I think aspect of Pan + Poseidon special is easier to win with 32 fear. The axe is just slow to get going with a 5 minute timer but Pan is really good with just a few boons and the hammers can really make a difference. Vow of rebuke isn't a problem at all with this build and taking vow of desperation to the max saves you a lot of fear points.
This is exactly the build that I used to beat Chronos for the first time. It's stupidly good.
One thing i found to be useful on charon is that u can actually dash mid omega special and keep the same channeling direction ( i think it's a shadow buff) , made the aspect feel a lot safer up close for me
I've actually started using The Unseen arcana (magick regen) over Strength for high magick consumption aspects like Charon and the torches for high fear tight deadline runs. It really eases up your boon choices to not have to hard roll for magick regen within the first few chambers or risk timing out on Hecate.
Finished 32 using Momus for easy first chambers, the hammer that heals whenever I kill with an Omega Attack to help stay alive and a perfect Wolf Howl for the later parts of the game. 1.4k damage for 25 magick with 1s invincibility is strong enough. Had the magick and health regen Arcana so I did not need any boons at all. Was fun and shows that different builds can still beat 32 without it being significantly harder.
So that's the secret for Charon axe. Get Born Gain. Profit.
You can hex curse the giant hydra mini boss in Oceanus and the Sheep Morph is HUGEEEE
haelian do you have a guide like this but for staff aspect? maybe aspect of momus? tnx and great vid always
For the math part in BORN AGAIN boon
For RARE GRADE :
max magic is 80
u prime 8 magic each time
hence, u prime 10 times
And total magic amount u get is 440
But assuming u only use your special u are gonna use 45 magic each time
so u can only utilize 405 magic i.e., 9 times.
For EPIC GRADE :
max magic is 70
u prime 6 magic each time
hence, u prime 11 times
And total magic amount u get is 400
But assuming u only use your special u are gonna use 45 magic each time
so u can only utilize 360 magic i.e., 8 times.
Hence, Rare grade was the right choice here
