Haelian: “64 heat is probably impossible” Angelic: “And I took that personally”

[@dr.popping8560]

The concept Haelian talks about where you need to act like something is going to happen because you're screwed if it doesn't is pretty common in high level play of card games. It's a concept called "playing to your outs" and basically you get lucky by giving yourself the opportunity to get lucky. You look at the state of the game and recognize that the logical best possible move at best only stems the bleeding and will almost certainly lead to a loss. So you make a "suboptimal" play, because if you are going to stand any chance of winning very specific things need to happen. (which in card games usually involves gambling on a draw or maybe a coin flip/dice roll, and in this case gambling on a reroll) If you hit it then that's great you might have just saved yourself, but if you miss well you were going to lose anyway so it's no big deal. It's not nearly as simple as it sounds though because first you need to be able to recognize that the optimal play is still a losing move, and second you need to know exactly what needs to happen for you to win so you can constantly be moving towards making it happen.

[@Eidenhoek]

I'd say it's more that optimal play does not equal "lasting longer". Optimal is "greatest chance of beating the run". Playing to one's outs *is* the optimal play because it's the highest chance of successfully beating the whole thing.

[@Haelian]

This was a very interesting read, thank you.

[@matthewgagnon9426]

[@natanaru]

Yep i learned this playing a ton of magic thr gathering. Recognizing how you win and lose in a matchup and playing to the outs wins you more games than playing conservatively trying to just eek by a survival. Its very complicated ofc and takes years of learning for most normal people. It is just a testiment to the absolute greatness that angel1c is

[@afluka]

I'm almost certain that Haelian's video and the fact it got traction outside the Hades community was the major push AngeL1C needed to attempt this feat. Beating a 64 heat run? No one except for the high-end Hades players and the niche community around them would understand how hard that is and how big of an accomplishment it is. Why go through the pain of trying it if barely anyone will recognize it... Beating an impossible challenge on the other hand? Now that's something anyone can understand and be intrigued by. That level of bragging rights is much more irresistible.

[@That_One_Pancake]

This is actually true! A new person came into the speedrun discord after watching his vid and inspired AngeL1C to do a couple of runs 'just for fun'. then she got it in an hour because she is a. lucky and b. incredibly fucking good at the game

[@pumbaa667]

[@tysufa]

@@fomori2 well yes when it actualy require skill like she did for the modded 64 heat, it's recognized by only a few peoples and a lot of person say that it's cheating because they don't understand how much skill it requires. But spending hundreds of hours to just have some luck ? your better off using that time on something you will be proud of for real : once you've beaten 64 heat modded, beating it "legitly" will not really make you extra proud of yourself, at best you will be happy for being lucky because the new thing you got is just luck, the skill part was already completed. So yes I believe that in this case the initial factor may be the video of haelian (but it's just a guess I'm not in her head)

[@nin2494]

@fomori2 it was more of a rhetorical question, it's true that Angel did it because Haelian pronounced the challenge impossible (a newcomee told her to do it after watching the video- for fun); if he hadn't it would've been unlikely for anyone to feel motivated to do so I.e. 'Why' (most people wouldn't, hence why would you?) would you do such a niche challenge? We are a social species my guy, nothing wrong with pointing out that social influence is important especially for personal accomplishments. There's a reason Cummingham's law (If you spread false information on the internet, SOMEONE will correct you) is probably better at getting information than asking a question

We love our high heat queen, major congrats to Angel 👑 Here's a couple other small things that might look confusing but make total sense if you run at this level a lot: 7:36 Special damage is REALLY GOOD on Zeus with Explosive Return, and relatively cheap. If the necessary pieces of your build have survived the post-Tartarus purging pool then you will get plenty of sell boons/money from normal room rewards in Asphodel and Elysium. Other Charon items you almost always buy if possible are a Nail of Talos for armor damage (Lernie coming up), Stygian Shard for lava/trap damage, or a Night Spindle for an extra Meg. 8:00 Hermes is really almost useless at this level, and even harmful in some cases. Swift Strike/Flourish can mess up your input cycling, and even hyper sprint removes the ability to shield-slide. You take whatever he gives you as a non-pommable to sell in the purging pool if needed. 9:01 Dionysus boons are THE best source of secondary damage for heat. Zeus/jolted are for the active damage, and hangover is for passive. Dio's call is almost better than jolted because it can provide i-frames, and builds very quickly. Extreme heat runner Mysterra has been experimenting with non-Zeus-special runs at 60+ heat and Dio attack or call feature heavily in a lot of them. This is also why Angel sells Demeter's call after Asphodel, she wants Dio's call. We have all loved Dio since Retrash cleared 60 heat Eris with Dio attack instead of Zeus attack. 11:24 "Why not take the poms?" 50% chance Ambrosia hits one of two Zeus boons, extremely good odds. She also WANTS heroic special. *Without a heroic special, any time you pick up a god other than Zeus for the rest of the run you are at risk of being forced into a god replacement by AP2.* The damage increase from the rarity boost is also fairly large, I think almost two poms worth. She didn't get it, but it at least it hit one of her two Zeus boons. 13:44 Charged shot kills the run outright. You need your normal bull rush for i-frames. Angel also doesn't like sudden rush, and other hammers take away a couple i-frames in certain scenarios. You 100% dodge second hammer if at all possible. 15:03 Double strike is actually bugged on zeus shield, visually you see two bolts but the second bolt doesn't do any damage lol

[@diethylmalonate]

For those trying to argue "but math": the probability of getting epic special + explosive return was calculated to be 1/240. When looking at this odds, people tend to say "oh so you'll need to reset 239 runs to get a viable start, which should take hours", but in practice it's different. If you run simulations, you can see that yes, it averages out to 240 resets between runs, but the actual data shows that most trials need much less than that. The 240 comes about because there are a handful of trials that need much, much more resetting, and it's this tail that drags up the average. I simulated 100,000 trials, and roughly 30% of the time you get a viable run within an hour, and 15% within the first 30 minutes (assuming 45 seconds per reset). So getting a viable run within the hour is much more possible than the 1/240 number makes it look. If you are in any gacha community you see it in practice a lot. A new banner can have around 1% odds and there are always people getting what they want within the first few pulls.

I don't follow Hades or speed running in general, but I watched and subscribed apparently to watch you eat crow a week later. Kidding obviously your previous video points are all valid as far as I can tell.

[@phenex5190]

It's actually hilarious how I haven't watched any Hades videos on youtube in over a year, or even played the game recently, and yet all three of these videos have been on my recommended page in sequence. First was your video being picked up by the algorithm and reaching a lot of people, me included, and like 3 days after that, Jade's video also got picked up by the algorithm, and now this one was instantly in my recommended after watching those two videos just days apart. Crazy timing on all fronts, makes for a better storyline in my opinion and shows how even if something is HIGHLY improbable, it's never "impossible" because all it takes is one lucky streak and one mad man to capitalize off it.

[@cantrip7]

Major props to Angel1C. Thank you for the commentary-I didn't understand how impressive the run was without the commentary.

[@psionicoculus6093]

You mentioned that each weapon, however unlikely, has the potential to be viable for 64 heat. I'd love to see a video series explaining the setups and strategies for each weapon

Pretty much off-topic, but there's that Hammer offered again in the first room of Elysium. Am I insane, or does the Hammer appear VERY frequently at this location? I swear I've seen it here more often than not...

[@solarsailor973]

I'm pretty sure it has a higher chance to spawn there, aye

[@Haelian]

Ya I think it has some kind of increased chance but I dunno the math.

[@blueyandicy]

Your second hammer is always guaranteed to be in Elysium, and in my experience the first chamber of Elysium is almost always a Hammer, Hermes, Coin, or Heart, with a rare chance of anything else.

[@draculactica]

Next Haelian vid: "The odds against curing cancer. Why it may never happen."

[@lektik2941]

I've recently been getting back into Hades, and since discovering this channel about a week ago I feel like my gameplay, and how I put together a build has been improving. I've managed to start clearing 20+ heat on a second weapon, and I even cleared a run last night where I got 2x Duo boons. (Nemesis with Splitting Headache and Vengeful Mood) Now I'm feeling inspired to go for more ambitious "high roll/no roll" builds like this; syngergizing boons from 3 or 4 gods to hunt for 2x specific duo boons.

[@lektik2941]

I just had some really nice RNG again in my next run after posting this comment. I was spinning to win with Aspect of Zeus, Hunting Blades, Mirage Shot, and Vicious Cycle! accompanied of course by thunder flourish, and a constant stream of seeking arrows from support fire. This was a very fun run. I love this game.

[@TheUnlocked]

I think the key takeaway is that extremely good play can do a lot to help make up for bad odds. I was very skeptical after seeing the run pop up on my feed, but then I saw just how well angel1c was playing in this run, and then I saw their past videos of high heat runs, and then it became a whole lot more believable.

[@nobodysbusinezz]

I love that you posted that vid and then this happened. The stars aligned. Hades has been defeated right on time (:

[@aslpelinsuozturk3106]

I was casually playing Hades with heat thinking i would get to the max heat at some time in my lifetime. I DID NOT EVEN KNOW IT WAS CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE and SOMEONE JUST MADE A SUCCESSFUL RUN AFTER YEARS OMG

[@litapd311]

32 heat is the highest heat you get achievements at, getting to that level takes serious skill but i think most good gamers can do it eventually. getting above that will take some hardcore dedication, let alone maxing out heat!
