GOING FOR BOON LEVEL WORLD RECORD! Just get lucky. | Hades 2

[@TheBitingBat]

Considering we don't have mom pom, purging well, sweet nectar, and the other stuff from hades 1 to level boons this run is even more impressive

[@celestialTangle]

We do have sweet nectar now!

[@prisma.]

Zeus had a bad day.

[@michaelsnickers3910]

Might be a small thing to acknowledge, but Haelian showing the „final result“ at the start of the video is such a nice gesture. Most KZbinrs would tell and not show it to gain watchtime

[@tobiasaugustodeoliveiradia9417]

I feel like you can take the expunge boons curse, take commons, take enhanced sacrifice on hera and switch boons at least 3 times on top of the duo

I once lived with a navy recruiter for a few months. Nice guy, but he would go to the bars at 2 AM to pick up guys and bring them home, and I could hear them going at it all night. In the mornings I would find sex toys and crystal meth all over the bathroom. One time he left the remnants of an enema bag in the bathtub.

[@Haelian]

wot

[@levipeterken4020]

I got Hera's attack boon to 17 once. That's the highest I've gotten. Think the number was in the 200s for percent

[@Weraptor]

heroic level 23 flourish buffed the special by 315% for me

[@VoermanIdiot]

34:29 Honestly, I'm not even sure how you can possibly get a bruise that looks like you had a fist fight with a sheet metal press and somehow won - from bicycling. He must've hit a guard rail or something. And yeah, it's bicycling. Gordon used to be a massive athletic-head. He's done like 15+ marathons, multiple half-ironmans and ultra-marathons and 2 Ironman World Championships. He also used to be an absolute menace at Squash (the sport), as in one of the best in the world but when he absolutely ripped a ligament, he couldn't play it anymore.

[@Its2for1]

The timing on this video is so funny to me. I just rewatched your Hades 1 boon level record last night and tried to recreate it hades 2. We had the EXACT same ideas, but I messed up by picking a duo prerequisite and then concave stone picked Hera’s duo boon, which gave + 4 levels to like 6 Hera boons rather than +24 levels to one Zeus boon ooooof I was using the torches, and the real nail in the coffin was picking the random hammer keepsake in Tartarus and having it pick origin coils. My insane ass build became useless within like 3 chambers lol

[@scwintz101]

it was a bicycle because he had said he likes doing triathlons which is three events consisting of running, swimming and cycling. its an endurance challenge.

[@tomhendriks8304]

oke so.. i just found something kinda broken..? hera, 'blood line' but than u take torches and just spam their auto attack special, it costs 18 mana but you spam the bloodline like booom boom boom, trying to make this work with chaos and/or born gain atm .. edit: and ofc im trying this with a zeus sacrifice :D

[@calincoza7490]

this build with heartthrobs also is insane

[@tomhendriks8304]

@@calincoza7490 didnt even think about that :0 brain kinda fried made this one up after like 10h of playing.. xD

[@seeker_of_knowlage3568]

That schot story was very fun, thanks for sharing.

[@tomhendriks8304]

haha i did this today aswell, 21 stacks on the attack blitz combined with the aphro sprint and it was still bad xD... 85 dmg static shock was kinda cool tho :D

[@DangerforBrunch]

wish you were in a ocean side city like me, you can get fresh raw shrimp from the docks or a local shop for an like 3-4$ a pound in peak season!

[@ryaaannnn]

So do we know if the chance for duo boons to be offered is evaluated per roll/re-roll, or only once when you accept the initially boon offering?

[@Haelian]

It's definitely per reroll, I don't remember the exact science behind it because it gets quite complex.

[@ryaaannnn]

@@Haelian Good enough for me, thanks!

Supergiant exec here. The fans demand September. So, update's release will be in March of 2025.

I personally like Zeus but I’m just a casual

I love how you use Young Mel in thumbnails

Brit here. “Cycling” is not motorcycling.

[@tshvahn]

I JUST GOT 44 IONIC GAIN!!! i recorded the run so i'll post a video when i have time to upload such a large file.

[@tshvahn]

Thank you doing this run, ik there probably aren't really many people doing this run and i'm sure you could easily beat my 44 but i've never done anything like noteworthily good in a game so this was so exciting for me i like almost threw up

[@tshvahn]

omg i accidentally had obs recording all computer audio and so you can hear the audio from your video i was watching

[@yadamspiezer]

Good God, blitz is dogshit. I feel like a level 2 Aphrodite boon would out DPS this level 37 Zeus boon. Sad that blitz didn't get more help in the third patch. Still hoping Zeus just gets fully reworked.

[@yadamspiezer]

@GoXDS You're ignoring all the other ways you can add to attack power. Aspect, chaos, hammers, other boons, infusions, etc. I was doing almost 2000 damage per attack with an aspect of Mel axe build and it wasn't anything unusual.

[@yadamspiezer]

@GoXDS You've done the math, so I'll trust you. I'll just leave it at blitz doesn't ever feel worth it, compared to other options.

[@UnBR0k3enAngel]

​@GoXDS this may be the "erm, actually" I've ever read. I'm afraid of you, commenter

[@dodang_9147]

@@yadamspiezer Zeus attack and special is support boon. the biggest reason why zeus blitz is terrible is because you need to APPLY the curse than PROC the curse then reapply curse. The best way to think of Zeus is he is like hephaestus attack and special with no cooldown but he has inherent drawback of needing "double hits" and "unlimited attackspeed" to use it. So what in this game has continuously attack application to utilize blitz? so let go over places it can be selected for each weapon Aspect of Momus staff. You can cast special or attack omega and now, you apply blitz passively. So for example you can put special blitz, cast omega orb and then put your favourite attack... like poseidon for example. While you proc poseidon boon, you are triggered blitz. that is how you use Zeus attack. Most of the time, your either using special only or attack only in between your spell uses. Aspect of Moros Torches: You put Blitz on special. you channel your omega and now you put favourite attack like i don;t know, appolo. You can techniclaly use blitz on all the torch aspects because all of them have special continuously attack spell. All torches have access special so all of them are candidates for blitz effect. Axe: Let's compare aphrodite boon of 150% damage increase raw to see what level we need for blitz to be worth it. An axe spin at base does 50 damage. a 150% damage increase would be adding 75 damage per hit. Due to how blitz works, every 2nd hit procing blitz would need to do 150 damage at min for blitz to equal a aphrodite boon. There is another caveat for Axe to use blitz. The amount of damage needed to proc blitz is 130 damage. So at base, 50 damage would proc blitz every 3rd hit. you can see how inefficient blitz is for omega axe. Because Blitz takes an attack slot, it removes potencial base damage to default axe spin. So we need other sources of damage increase to deal 150 base axe spin damage to be blitz do anything. Demeter has boon called "Weed killer" which increases cost of spin by +10 mana but increase damage by 50-75-100% damage. If we say that weed killer is 100% damage(Epic). 100% is still not enough to proc blitz consistently. that is only 100 damage per spin. we need 130. Arcana cards Huntress increases damage by 50% when your mana is below full mana and Origination is a boon that adds 50% damage when 2 curses are applied. adding another 100% would equal 150 damage. Now you can proc blitz every 2nd hit. This require ton of setup and probably isn't worth it for the axe. Haelian was not using huntress or origination in the video which is why his Lvl 34 blitz boon was useless. He was having trouble procing blitz because of his crap base damage. Dagger: It is never worth it because.... dagger has lower base damage so it can never proc 130 damage in 1 hit outside of critical hit and there is nothing in the game to gain 100% critical rate. The only meaningful way to use Blitz on daggers is Scorch. Thermal dynamic is duo boon where every time you proc blitz, you do 90 scorch and scorch damage counts towards triggering the blitz. There is also another boon called Master conductor which makes static shock do 20% more damage and allows lightning to bounce towards you. Anvil cast is the best way to get it since anvil also procs blitz. Overall i would not bother to use Zeus on dagger. too gimmick. not worth it. Aspect of medea skull can only use blitz if it put on special, you charge 3 skulls then rush through with special. you'll get 1 blitz proc. not really worth it unless it is heroic but it is an option for filler boon. Otherwise skull doesn;t use blitz very well at all.

[@HerMi.T]

Blitz is not that bad kiddo especially with mel axe which can activate it pretty fast.

[@ricardohernandez2954]

Wao, level 31 heroic attack zeus and still sucks 😂

[@Haelian]

Much like in Hades 1, pomming 1 boon a ton and ignoring everything else is not a solid strategy if you just want a strong run lol.

[@WrenKainIV]

"Can attack during special" Literally never attacks during special. Classic haha
