“Poseidon decided to abandon us like my father” Came out of completely fucking nowhere lol

Loved how you were able to cover most things about the game in such a simple and understandable way. Very helpful for newbies like me :)

[@dyno9415]

3:02 ah yes, of course the death defiance Animation must be the reason i cant get under 10 min runs

[@erak7]

Same same( i just managed to beat 4 Heat XD)

[@FreelancerWells]

I've been giving nectar to bouldy, thinking it had something to do with helping my relationship with Sisyphus. But then I saw you give it one and thought, wait a minute. I looked it up and realised it gives a small money increasing boon. You know what, I'll continue giving one to round boi. 😙 It's up there with greeting the happy little supporter shade after the 3rd boss.

I love the speedrun content

[@danielstar9458]

Wait, this was a new video?!?!?!? Wow, this was the first time i actually saw a fresh video about hades.

it's nice to see that your IGT for speedruns are about the same as my rama runs. I have done that weapon a ton though, I'm up around 400-500 runs with just that weapon, but I can typically get sub 10 easily and sub 9 on a lucky run. I've gotten sub 8 twice, but sadly didn't record either time

[@SammyEsq]

Shackle can be a nice start here until you get something decent, which you did early anyway, although hard to beat splash dash. Chaos can be really important cos his dash strike damage boons are minimum 50s and can go up to 110s+ iirc. If you do end up with double edge, honestly extra dashes from Herms become quite viable but hard to beat hyper delivery I guess. Nice run, ggs!

[@Oggi02]

I just beat hades for the first time and watching your gameplay is like watching a completely different game 😂😂 what the hell

[@Saracen93]

Nice run! Is there a reason not to pursue Artemis boons in Asphodel, to increase the crit stuff? Just thinking especially since the other gods didn’t matter as much.

[@Haelian]

It would be nice, not positive it's totally worth when you already have an attack boon. Not sure on what's correct there honestly.

[@Malacite]

@ 15:10 yep, this is probably my biggest gripe with an otherwise phenomenal game. Holy hell it can be all too frustrating to get the God you want reliably. I think the keepsakes should have been an increased % chance to run into that god on all applicable chambers - even if that came at the cost of the extra boon rarity (as in they took it away) because the consistency alone would be worth it.

[@ellrolo]

Just done this as an inspirational run on heat 13. Knocked it out the park with seastorm, tidal dash and lots more easy

[@hh126]

the fucking poseidon line happened when i drank my tea. needless to say i was glad i stifled the chuckles using hundreds of newtons of biting force, but unfortunately as a side effect, it caused the tip of my tongue to swell up twice, nor thrice the size it had once previously been. karma in action.

[@philchou3034]

how did he get those icons on the top right corner of his boon when he's first selecting what boon to start the run with?

[@BiRatQueen]

Why do you use aspect of nemesis if you're not using the special very often? Wouldn't Zag sword be better for the damage boost?

[@littlebumgorf]

i finally got a sub 14, a 13:36 Hera... sub 10 would be a dream for me

[@wuschu6116]

Beowolf with Dio on cast and Zeus on attack with duo is quite disgusting.

[@JohnCollinsIsAWizard]

what's the advantage of Extreme Measures 2 here? it's been so long since I've faced standard Lernie that i can't recall that arena, but I'm guessing E.M. reduces the distance between Hydra heads?

[@Haelian]

Yep, exactly what you said.

[@DanielVCOliveira]

Do an only Hermes run pleeeeease

[@wolfnails666]

More Hades woot!

[@Berryturtle1]

Hey I would like to get into speed running, what weapon do you recommend to get into the flow of things?

[@Marcus-oj9xw]

Eris, Beowulf, or Hera

[@Haelian]

Beowulf is the most popular (and strongest probably), here's a video where I cover a lot of the basics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mInThX2Xr5eliZo

Speed…is…life

[@YalEnglish]

what exactly is his "usual" combo that hes doing so fast?

[@HU-iv1ns]

more please :)!

[@MaxDamageDA]

Meanwhile there's me nuking the bull and gay shielder for 1 minute seeing only 'block block bolock...' just to realise theire just 1/3 hp down... ffs.

[@Zinyzany]

Bro really complaining about his luck when it's better than 95% of my runs smh
