This run uses a 4th run route instead of First Run. It’s almost surely faster, because of the forced Hestia start, having both hammers, and the decreased risk from pushing Eris back a biome. First Run is definitely doable and might compete for speed eventually, but since it only takes about 3 minutes to get hammers, cthonic vitality, and a hestia start, I’d expect 4th run to be the fastest for a while. That said I think 3rd run (Poseidon start) could beat this once people get better at the game, since you get all the buffs and a stronger start but have to deal with Eris.

You are the GOAT!
Do you think it is possible to beat chronos on the first try?
Speedruns are so funny to consider from a canon perspective
Hecate is at the cauldron and Dora floats up to her like "MISTRESS HECATE!"
She's like "Let me guess, Melinoe died in the first room again?"
And Dora is like "NO. SHE FUCKING BEAT HIM"
I know you skip straight through it for the sake of speed, but it's still pretty cool to know that there's unique dialogue if you reach Chronos without meeting him beforehand
do you think this speedrun could go down to 25mins?
What boon was it that was giving you that steam animation again? It’s not vent from hepatitis is it?
Why the first death? couldn't you had go straight through the whole game right away?
Awesome run! Wish poseidon special spam wasnt meta tho lol. Question, why take the extra chamber in tartarus for poms? Did you feel like you needed more damage for chronos?
Awesome run, and a fun spin on "Fresh Start". Do you think it could be worth farming some arcana cards to get one of the damage buffs?
pro tip, if you try using a locked exit in the 3rd region, it'll give you the arrow towards any unclaimed rewards needed to unlock them so you don't have to wander around looking for it
Zeus on a pogo stick! Amazing job my man!
What does death farming do?
please follow the gold leaves on the ground in fields of mourning lol
Dude this is sick!!! Congrats on getting a Fresh File run!!!
Congrats!
Firstly, I’m very well aware of you and I’m a fan. I would’ve never considered an Eris push, I love that idea. I also love this run because I’m a big fan of the Poseidon/Hestia duo. But holy bleep is Fields a wild card. I’m guessing you would’ve loved to not see the phantom? And then you had to have been nervous as all hell the last 6 seconds. My god. G fucking G, man.
Why do you get kill 3 time before start The run ?
Carple Tunnel speed run
Do you think that a night 1 would ever be possible? You have to beat the 2/3s of the game without getting hit.
I made it a few room in to level 2 on my first night but got hit once and died.
20:51 such bad luck to have all replacement boons hahaha. can see you taking a beat to figure out which one is the least shit
30:46 I would have shit my pants, on god fr fr
