WE DID IT! Full No Hit Run! | Hades 2 Olympic Update

[@mzk4193]

Chronos : planning for eons him revenge Melinoe on crack : Can't touch this..... Stop hammer time

[@nishenperera720]

Moonlight guided you a little too well gawdayumm..

[@Fragmaster01]

I think the "too easy" argument is a bit shallow for two reasons. One is that the difficulty once you've progressed is entirely up to you, and I find that trying to beat the 32 heat level of "this is as much as the game expects you to be capable of" is significantly hard and something to strive for. The second is that there Will be more heat. There's no extreme measures yet, and there definitely will be because that was some of people's most favorite part of Hades 1. Just because max heat has been beaten by multiple people doesn't take away that it's stupidly hard. Also there's some merit in having 0 heat be a gentle romp. Maybe you want to relax for a night. To be unchallenged for a bit, and turn up the heat some other night. Even this no-hit run you're playing on 10 heat, just because that's what's comfortable for you. Give people choices.

I really hope Hecate has a unique Dark Side for Extreme Measures

[@LoudmouthedCrow]

Twilight Curse actually does work on bosses, sort of! Anything hit by it, whether successfully morphed or not, gets a glowy ring effect around it for the duration of the effect that makes you deal 50% more damage to it (additive, same bonus as Origination). Whether it's worth the slow animation to get +50% damage for like five seconds is questionable, though.

[@coldfanta4963]

Does that work initially or from the path of stars?

[@LoudmouthedCrow]

@@coldfanta4963 It's part of the hex with no upgrades. For some reason, it is not described anywhere in the game, but it does work. Unfortunately, Roxy's model seems to obscure the ring effect (edit: actually, you can see the black fringes around the base of her drumset), but you can observe it on other guardians pretty easily and see your damage go up when you hit them. Just remember that +50% is off your base damage, so for example, a 30 base damage hit will do exactly 15 damage more. In the run, we see Glowing Coal hit Roxy for 105 damage right after the hex: That's 60 base damage times (1 + 0.25 strength + 0.5 hex) = 105 (since Slip was not applied, we don't have to worry about Slip or Origination adding on).

[@Sonar009]

My experience with Night Bloom (the 'raise a dead enemy to fight for you' hex) is that it has never done anything substantial for me, except for one specific Cerberus fight relatively early in my playtime where I rezzed a rapid puncher from Cerberus' add phase and it solo'd Cerberus in half a second. (And I guess the bug with Circe's keepsake and the Sirens, but that doesn't really count.) I can't recall Twilight Curse ever being useful in a run, despite multiple attempts trying to include it in my build.

[@memsketch]

I’ve never been able to do a no hit run in either of the hades games but now I lowkey rlly wanna try it out now haha tho maybe with one of the other long range attacks besides the dagger specials

[@wendywatch3386]

I finally beat Cronos Yersterday night. I feel Proud of me

[@jo40p3dr0]

Congrats bro, keep going 🔥🔥

[@RoboSparkle]

Congrats! I did a no-hit run in the old patch using Charon abusing Lucid Gain with Demeter Cast and Hera Special, although I didn't ban dodge, stun, daze or mint condition (I think my dodge boon from Echo activated but can't remember exactly). Might have to give it another shot in the new patch with your rules :)

[@fishermancy7719]

Twilight curse actually is great in a high fear setting imo, incapacitating 5 enemies is really good and it’s got a cheap magick cost

[@theformation3781]

Holy shit congratulations! That was so dicey in tartarus lol also imo twilight curse is fine simply because it needs no upgrades to provide a sense of safety at higher fear and it makes miniboss encounters *really* easy since you sheep the boss and that's rhat; it has a bright upgrade where it deals 250 damage to guardians but the => shape path of stars is the absolute worst since not only does it give you only one sublime upgrade, it gives you only 2 bright upgrades as well so you can get scammed out of the good stuff.

[@cannonsword1]

others playing no hit run while I play no heat run

[@josephemory228]

What % of people complaining about the difficulty have even cleared 32? Or just watch KZbinrs do it and then complain haha? I've struggled to clear 32 heat in Hades 2 far more than Hades 1. I feel Hades 1 had easier to achieve completely broken builds. Basically anything that loaded casts and blew them up

[@NOTYOU0BVIOUSLY]

For someone who isn't great at games, Hades 2 is not too easy lol. At 12+ fear I'm fighting for my life every chamber

[@wrathybear]

Gamers often forget that there are casuals taking majority of the playerbase.

[@unathleticremi]

Good work amigo

[@joonseochoi7180]

Goated

[@shamansupreme9165]

Badass bro

[@salchipapa5843]

All the congrats, dude. You're a master at this game. On a completely unrelated note, do you think Supergiant will add a 3rd phase for Chronos on release? Or whatever the equivalent is for Prometheus?

[@ResonanceRetroData]

Max heat impossible vs max fear possible meaning Hades 2 is too easy is insanity Sorry the designed their systems to make the game playable this time, you weirdos lmao (also fear isnt done yet, at max 55 we're still missing potentially 9 future fear in the form of extreme measures and whatnot compared to hades 1) Now i DO think Hades 2 is a little too easy atm, but its nothing to do with max fear nonsense. the difficulty was pretty much perfectly balanced at launch imo and the subsequent series of updates providing way more buffs than nerfs has slowly powercrept your runs, and the reroll rework to allow door AND boon rolling in the same run makes tapping into that power too consistent for the current enemy strength. I think just increasing the enemy stats a bit across the board will be plenty to even it out

[@dieltolo6112]

Hey Haelian, any tips for Surface 32 fear? I cannot for the love of the gods win those, but the underworld are no big

[@Janovjev]

Honestly, I did it with the aspect of selene, and just spamming special from afar. Used hex's stacking boon to kill the bosses.

[@dk2157]

I did it recently with Moros, put Hera on the recovery and Zeus on the special. For the rest it doesn't really matter much, just dash around a lot and keep your specials up while you're firing

[@Platinum_Imp]

Did you choose Frinos only for Hecate fight?

[@skone_aseema]

When you play a game for 6 months straight I'm sure its gonna feels easy especially when the groundwork for this game is the same as H1

[@CamTheGalaxy]

Yeah, like. Highly skilled and experienced players absolutely have important things to bring to the EA discussion, but I’m just not really sure if they’re able to properly judge things like game pacing and ease cause there is a certain point where they are just no longer the target audience in regards to difficulty

[@asdfasdfadsfasdf]

Anyone else think Haelian looks like the Reviewbrah guy who reviews fast food

[@keerthan7558]

wouldn't arctic ring be better? Makes the run safer
