Hades 2 speedruns are already out of control | Haelian (Old Patch) 

with all those sand, Grandpa is definitely a ground type so of course water would be super effective--

And yeah he looks dirty af too.. look how shiny he is after 😂

TIME for a bath

Its even more Ironic considering when he taunts you after act 1 when you have Posaidon boon , Chronos says "What are you gonna do? Pour water on me?".

@@PuppyShooter”Yes, yes I am.”

The moss also looks like beard and hair

How do you get bouldy instead of cerb in that room?

@@thekidhaku4910just keep visiting hades

@@thekidhaku4910 Bouldy is always there he's just kinda hidden by Cerberus, and i'm pretty sure Cerberus not being there is a random occurence.

@@dratini4036 Weird I'v had many completions on different fears and I never knew Bouldy was there.

​@@phaerlax what they produce is giant of the super variety

Damn wait really? That's a wild mechanic :O how'd people confirm that lol

@@justarandomdood Melinoe mentioned it at random when I was waffling between express route door or triple coin door. Something about having to face more enemies with each non express door

@@aichmalotizo9873 damn, awesome that the devs put that in the game, thanks for letting me know :O

is it confirmed that Melinoe meant that more enemies spawn, or could she have just meant that more rooms = having to kill more enemies?

Actually did not know this.

Just saw a fresh file today actually. I think it was posted 3 days ago. I don't have the link atm, but should be easily discoverable with a quick search

@scatmanjohn15 I've seen a couple fresh file runs, but I haven't seen a first run clear yet. Can't find one, but I was also only lazily searching and RU-vid search function is ass so who knows

Someone did it, it's on Reddit.

@@Kelmort That one on reddit used cheats to have infinite health. It was made to showcase the first run dialogue lines.

Bro I'd be happy with a sub 20 😂

The builds are definitely good insights for just good builds for an easy run instead of just trying new stuff out or doing fated tasks

What frog?

@@justinritchie282 The familiar

Oh yeah there's gonna be Underworld specialists and Surface specialists

Yeah if it was percentage it would be absolutely broken

Those armored skulls keep me awake at night

Leaderboards are opening soon, speedrun dot com will have an official rule set when they're open.

We're not sure yet it it seems.

Mouse scroll macro maybe?

He plays controller

@@UsernameXOXO it's not that fast (double moonshot gives you 2 shots for 1 Button press)

@@quintengames3576 I'm not the one who said it was especially fast.

Numeral just progresses to Chronos (the numbers count down). The other doors are additional boons or power ups you can pick up, but don't get you closer to Chronos.

going to numeral gates is how you get to chronos, other chambers make it take longer to get to chronos

the longer you stay in Tartarus the more enemies spawn. so you can detour for boons and stuff or just take the numbered doors so you don’t have to fight as many enemies at least, that’s the impression i got about how it works. could be wrong

The numbers are the “express route” and you must take them to make it to the final boss. Anything else is basically you fishing for more rewards.

@@oQuaad Thank you so much. Thats as clear of an explanation as it gets. Much appreciated.

What build? This is pretty much considered the top build at the moment.

Yes it is built into the game and pauses during certain moments, same as Hades 1.

It's just slightly more valuable than the other options me thinks but it's early days so nothing is set in stone.

Still trying things out, this was only our 3rd completed speedrun.

The lovers arcana for resist the first 3 hits against bosses

The messenger arcana for miss chance and The lovers arcana for resist the first 3 hits against bosses

arachne along with all story rooms and a few others are considered free rooms because they pause the in game timer. for speedruns you almost always take them because you basically get to skip an encounter

Nahhhh it's fiiiine. But pls give us hammer re rolls

Evil eye is still less damage than antler. +40 crit rate is just really broken.

He explains it at the end but certain Fear effects actually help the run. Faster enemies means they also spawn faster. No healing means he's better able to keep his health under 30 to activate Artemis' keepsake for 40% crit chance. Vow of Forsaking helps thin the pool boon for a better chance at Poseidon Lengendary (which didn't appear this run, but that's the idea)

This is early access

big damage plus aoe on top of being spammy with the hammer. kinda just covers literally everything.

good casts are also great but optional. hestia/(spoiler blessing) homing are pretty great!

His boons work really well with weapons that hit fast

Frog give you bonus health

I found the core of this in tech test and loved it, pos special and double special hammer is just free wins, haven't used it much since launch though as staff rarely is the "thirsty" weapon for me, it's always axe or flames

@@JamesRoss-ro8fj i got a 5 min and 1 second surface run with it tho i wasn't ready for such luck so could be a lot better.

@@Gokublakc-lv6lv Damn I imagine you'd of got a 4 min timer if you had the seed to retry same luck

You didn't reply to him you just commented, either way it's clearly a bait comment from someone that hasn't played the game with them takes XD

@@JamesRoss-ro8fj LOL oops, well then this is a comment for the algorithm 😉

Splash damage goes big and doesn't require you to be close.

It stops thw in game timer. He is running the speedrun using that timer instead of real time.

It’s early access, friend… don’t hold your breath for a Switch release til early 2025, judging by the Hades 1 release timeline

If the switch can even handle the game with its garbage processor. (Played hades 1 on switch, switched to pc since a few months)

@@quintengames3576 the switch ran BotW... Boom roasted

@r00fles idk man... botw was crazy optimized and has way less amount of entities (enemies + projectiles + objects) on a screen at a single time. My previous laptop (tried it for fun) (Intel i3 + 8GB RAM) which is still more powerful than a switch struggled a lot and dropped a ton of frames playing some of the busy areas in this game. (On the lowest graphical settings) So idk I don't think the switch could handle the game in its current state. Maybe supergiant can make it work but then there def. Needs to be some performance optimization if they want to.

@@quintengames3576 even though fewer entities they're 3D in BotW... Boom roasted
