I'm more impressed by the fact you managed to get 3 hammers without using the anvil at the end shop.
I haven't even thought about how echo could make that possible.
I don't know if that's even an intended possibility, but it feels hella broken, especially if you've played tf out of Hades 1 and think about all the new possibilities.
On Cerberus, when he chases you with the ground pounds, just drop your cast, it completely stops him from chasing you
Big chop doesnt prevent spinning, you can still charge the omega spin from the dash attack
you can dodge the sheep on hecate by kiting it long enough for a minor timesave
The first time I used the axe I probably ended up getting double your speed
Love the voice over explaining you thought process, please do more videos like this. Awesome run.
Just a tip for speedrunning, if that was your goal from the start of this run – you always want to take the first shop (aka mid shop) of the biome regardless of if you have money or not. The reason is it is a free room you don't have to spend time clearing. You can skip the second shop of each biome though, since the last room will be a free reward (no enemies). I noticed you skipped the mid shop in the first zone. Nice run though!
Edit: Big chop doesn't prevent you from spinning. The way the spin works, is it starts charging after your attack finishes, so if you keep holding it you can spin. The best way to spin with the chop hammer tho, is to dash strike and keep holding attack button down, way faster to get to the spin that way.
I am not at all a speed runner or for that matter, good at hades. That being said, my first attempt at chronos i did his first phase in about 60 sec and then died to the one shot mechanic in 2nd like a dumdum. I think if you had my build you probably would have cleared 18 min pretty easy. The main focus of the build is smithy sprint with poms to lvl it ( i was doing 500 dmg per blast ever 1 sec or so) vent for another 500 dmg when u cant hit the boss and gotta do "avoid mechanics" nitro boots for an instance of dmg immunity while sprinting ( this is the hardest boon to get since u cant force hermes out with a trinket, and i forget the name of the last boon but it regens mana while u are in ur cast. Getting smithy sprint early is most important so you have time to pom it up and any dmg u can add to your cast is great if you find a good boon for that. I think you could also get zeuses lightning dmg sprint boon too which would really speed things up but im unsure if theres a limit on how many boons can affect sprint. I was not trying to be fast at all and i dont pause to stop the timer, but i failed that run at 27min to chronos 2nd phase 1 shot mechanic… normally i take about 45min or more to even get to cerberus, so this was crazy fast for me.
There are trees in that you can activate that will show you the path. Not the ones that lead you out of the room but more in the center so you can ignore the golden road.
Can yo do a video guide on all wepons pls. Great content i am suscribing.
Crazy good run, gonna have to try this for my next run. Btw, you can still use the spin with big chop. You just need to hold down the attack button for the entire duration of the big chop animation and the reset until it activates. It’s really bad lol, but possible.
I actually think the big chop is really bad exactly because of armor. It doesn't matter if you can hit for 9999 damage if you have to hit even basic shit twice to kill it.
I think you actually could just keep hitting chronos at phase 2 when he channels the 999 hit no matter where the safe spot is, you had 3 lives and you've got the dps so it's kind of worthy to use one of you lives
Can always go the glass cannon route using artemis keepsake for 40% crit chance when its max rank – but you cant have more than 30HP for it to be active so very squishy
i mainly run axe with apollo. nutty aoes
My last run was 17:46:69 with Sister Blades, but i guess there are some folks who cleared faster
Axe is good but daggers Artemis aspect are just sooooo broken compared to everything else
golden petal lead to golden bough which in turn show all boon location. need incantation to unlock that
So do candles suck, or just not a build video yet?
Scylla first phase is done like 10x quicker if you run between Roxy and Scylla and spin
This should phase them both or at least roxy
21:56 "we got really really lucky with the rooms not being super giant" but… they're all Supergiant
I also managed to get a 18 min run with the aspect of pan with the twin blades. Using the Aphrodite special with the right hammers makes it super strong
