World First Blindfolded Hades Run | Haelian

[@jeremybuckets]

"For the next 4 Chamber(s), chamber reward previews are hidden." Joke's on you, Chaos.

[@drakkenmensch]

The ONE CHAOS CURSE that has absolutely no effect on this run!

[@LloydTheZephyrian]

Zagreus: I decided to gouge my eyes out to make this more interesting, but thanks.

[@ArariaKAgelessTraveller]

@@LloydTheZephyrian CONSIDERING he would just respawn with both of them after the run/death lmao

[@shaekelley6500]

Me anytime ab Bissell shows up as a curse

[@shaekelley6500]

Sorry in shouted. A Bissell is another curse

[@waitingonamonabel]

17:32 "Wouldn't it be easier if he took off his blindfold" had no right to be that funny 💀

[@Sonar009]

Imagining how devastated Theseus would be watching Zagreus walk into the arena literally blindfolded and then not taking a single direct hit gives me life.

[@shoeless1137]

"I swear the door was on the left" Said after dashing right for 2 minutes straight and opening the well 5 times

[@Gatsuuga16]

What is insane is while, YES, dan did get some lucky pulls... Each time he was going for a boon he was (mostly) making an educated guess for where the best boons for that offering could be. the amount of skill and game knowledge to actually be able to USE the lucky pulls is bonkers! You sir are a maniac. well fucking done.

[@chanlekho]

I didnt realize there were so many sound effects in the game. You could tell the difference of so many things from sound alone... Like the raft, the trove, the items in the shop and etc.. SGG did an exceptional job...

[@pumbaa667]

Yeah, that proves the sound design is - like everything else in this game - more than well-polished

[@James-cj1kl]

This man avoided the inferno bombs better blindfolded than I do with full 20:20 vision.

[@jacobsamson257]

🍝🦆

[@GeorgeChacon2112]

Yup

[@billnye8760]

this comment is so cool because it thinks its a timestamp for 20:20 in the video which is the first fight with inferno bombs. you made a double entendra joke that acts as a quick way to get context for the joke

[@31tbrown]

Crying at him going into the choice room guns ablazing 😭

[@jarmakey1]

Then his confusion as he realizes that he isn't killing anything lol

[@anonymoususer188]

45:55 It's funny. I normally would agree with Haelian that the Arty dash is stupid. However, with how much he dash strikes during this run, it may actually have made a big difference to his dps. He genuinely makes better use of it while blindfolded than I normally would playing normally.

[@squiddler7731]

And that's not even accounting for the fact that he unknowingly picked up a chaos boon to boost his dash strike damage even further. Actually optimal

[@happygilmore2137]

Works very well with the aspect as well

[@floryan1087]

@@l.n.3372 I think it's because other dashes, in comparison, are not so weapon- and playstyle-dependent and can impress with large damage (e.g. Poseidon) or status effects (e.g. Aphrodite, Demeter) independently. Also Artemis dash (and many Artemis boons in general) scales badly if you level it up. However, maybe the crits are able to make up for the smaller increases in percentages in comparison to other gods.

[@qwex4244]

​@@l.n.3372 tbh i dont think he likes any of the dashes except for poseidon and athena XD

[@squiddler7731]

@@l.n.3372 it doesn't actually give you the ability to crit, all it does is increase dash strike damage. So on literally any build where you don't dash strike constantly, it's useless. But yeah this build was the opposite of that, so I dunno

[@filip-sm4no]

This, ladies and gentlemen is how we the blind played hades before the accessible mods were created. However, screen readers and OCR, (Optical character recognition) were used to choose boons and buy items from wells. This is very, very impressive. Congrats for beating hades blindfolded!

[@Ninetales1616]

this gave me me nostalgia, I revisited this video and saw this. totally agree.

[@jolynesbuns4765]

Whoa That's really cool. I'd love to have a deep dive into this. I didn't really know there was an accessibility mod.

[@ismathers]

congratulations! I felt more tense watching you try an exist some chambers in Tartarus than I did watching the AFK Hades fight lol

[@Jingoa]

God I bet this was hilarious for Haelian to watch afterwards Sick achievement!

[@ethanlee8307]

I can't believe half of the lernie section is trying to find the chamber exit

[@jdavisbacon]

one of the most entertaining videos I've seen on yt in a long time... congrats!!

[@Haelian]

Thank you so much! It was surprisingly fun to figure out too.

[@mmanultra0000]

Congrats! Is this actually a world first? That's so cool!

[@RyanC232]

Who would actually try this other than the guy who plays this 19 year old game everyday???

[@Voremaster420]

​@@RyanC232i'd tried practicing it for months a few years ago and fell on my ass everytime at elysium massive respect to haelian

[@RyanC232]

@@Voremaster420I could see some blindfolded strats just from watching Haelian. If you have the patience it might be worth revisiting. I mean it can't be harder than Mario 64 blind runs can it?

[@Voremaster420]

@@RyanC232 It would be fun, I'm just too busy these days to play that much Hades. This was a very informative run though

[@Haelian]

I asked around and did a bunch of googling/searching, couldn't find anyone else who has done it without some kind of assistance (I've done it in the past assisted).

[@CSmyth-]

You know, if someone had told me "I used Aspect of Hestia and it took me over an hour to win" I'd have assumed it would be a pretty unimpressive run. But this? Masterful.

[@TiZ_HugLife]

It was great to be there live for 90% of this. Shame I had to leave right before Dad, but I'm so stoked that you completed it! And not even using any DDs on Dad?! You're nuts, my guy. Great stuff! :D

[@Andytron5000]

Really appreciate that you streamed this to KZbin too. I was able to catch the end of the winning run because of that.

[@sockpuppetqueen]

This was so fun to watch live! I haven't been that excited watching a Hades run in ages. I love that the community is still finding ways to make this game new and exciting, even after all this time.

[@Gender_Ascender]

Genuinely chuckled when you went and caught the fish in Elysium. Blessed by the Charp, clearly.

[@ggoodsir]

This was super entertaining and fun to watch, your game knowledge is incredible and also the sound design of the game that makes a run possible wow. Kept thinking that this is a game that could recommend for people with sight disabilities. Great stuff!

[@HARISHBV-sc4yg]

2 years of learning from your youtube vids to the first time catching your stream, is this run, couldn't get any better! I was rushing to hit the sub button on twitch, least I could do for all that you taught me about the game! cheers man!

[@lvparm]

Congratulations Hael!! 🎉 You’re a legend for this one.

[@brianstorey8452]

The title made my click the video, skipped to 31:30 ish to see how this could genuinely be possible & watched u MAJESTICALLY shuffle to the boat. This should be in history books

[@KatelynGadd]

I can't believe the winning run was cursed with Dio Dash and Chaos, incredible achievement

[@LunaK-423]

Legend! Really impressive, congrats for the worlds first!. Thanks for the explanation at the start

[@tercma]

Mad lad! Big congrats ❤ Can't believe you are still finding new ways to make this game so fun to watch after so many years! Made me appreciate the sound effects more too!

[@hmcastles]

fucking crazy. i haven't been so invested in a dan run since the no hit extreme measures hades-congrats dan!! god gamer.

[@fishermancy7719]

Was watching this live! Really sick challenge and great job!

[@0Dodt0]

Can't believe you actually managed to do this! What a run! Congratulations

[@Mochila03]

Happened to catch the KZbin livestream and saw this run. It was fantastic.

[@Arion661]

A testament to your knowledge of the game and your patience, as well as SG's brilliant sound design. 10/10

[@nuubirl]

First!! Just wanna say I love watching your runs, I got introduced to hades from one of your videos a year ago and this game has quickly become my favorite thanks to how fast i’ve learned from watching you! Chasing 32 heat right now but got a 16 heat clear. Happy gaming mate!!

[@nuubirl]

Also this blindfold run was insane, I was around for the stream but I always check back for when you upload the videos!! Kuddos to you, this was remarkable!!

[@Yoderz]

That's incredibly impressive. Good job!

[@sudokucoach]

Your knowledge of the game is insane! Congrats!

[@justarandomdood]

Holy moly, the meme runs are getting complicated xD This is like adrenaline junkies doing more and more dangerous things to get the same rush but with like... Hades runs LMAO

[@LloydTheZephyrian]

Now we wait for some madlad to do 64 heat blindfolded.

[@janosrock]

holy sh*t i cant believet.... i was wondering if this was possible. amazing! congrats!

[@shaekelley6500]

I think it's cool that he's able to do this as a challenge play through. Meanwhile I just played the game completely blind and whenever I do end up stumbling across a bone/palm/hammer I can break out a screen reader on my phone and bam pick which one I want. Also this does prove the theory that blind people will listen to people who aren't blind play games blind both figuratively and literally

[@DrMorganstien]

so cool to watch, congrats!

[@pumbaa667]

Holy Molly, I don't know if there is words who can describe how glorious this run was ! But again, my vocabulary isn't exceptional. The amount of knowledge he has is unfathomable ! The Chaos curse ending, the Holy Shield guessing, Zag standing right before a pillar in Lernie room.... insane.

[@brenopaiva7969]

This is ridiculous but also extremely impressive

[@MaxHaydenChiz]

Congrats! (But I'm also surprised that you hadn't already done this. Could have sworn I had seen you at least attempt this before. But might be that I just assume you've already done everything b/c you mostly have.) Edit: finished watching and holy shit that was an amazing run. (Also, looked up the other blind fold stuff and that was with a helper, but it did exist!)

[@leosteinmetz]

This is the single greatest piece of streamer content I have ever seen

[@BluethunderNo1]

Watched the second half live and am really hype to see the rest here:D Amazing achievement! Congrats hael!

[@joelromoaguiar4772]

You are a monster bro, well played

[@sweazey48]

This is so crazy and impressive! Kinda makes me wanna make sure sound cues in games I work on are good enough to play blindfolded.

[@littlebumgorf]

this was so fun to watch live. your content is great

[@Paddyjd11]

Well done. Reaction video sped up would be a hoot!

[@Paddyjd11]

As always watch to the end…..

[@v4n1ty92]

Truly an incredible achievement. Congrats!

[@Grimmessmcdonald]

I was here live for this!

[@abrahammer7219]

I saw this live and watching you struggle with the doors, and magma was a little frustrating 😅 epic run and extremely lucky at the end there.🎉 congrats 🎉

[@LunaK-423]

Oh fuck, i did not even consider Asphodel, this looks so scary.

[@jarmakey1]

Everyone is pointing out the dash-strike, but I think the hammer also helped him clear rooms easily, especially in elysium. Amazing run!

[@gregw_]

Incredible run!

[@NathanxLaMontagne]

Holy shit. The best run of all time.

[@katharinaneumann9342]

insane! i am so so so impressed. this was amazing. i was so sad to have missed it on stream, happy you uploaded this. i would love to watch it again with a commentary from you, watching this for the first time 😊 edit:// watched the stream recording incl reaction. extra fun 🎉

Wow he pretty much always got what he needed, pog

Awesome run!

Such a hard challenge, well done on completing it

Close eyes for 1st person perspective.

[@gilgabro420]

bro is better blind than me when i see.

[@BucketCapacity]

Saw this happen live, it was incredible!

[@davidbrickey8733]

Super impressive. You clearly had to know this game inside and out to even attempt this.

9:46 "you really missed an easy shot" 💀

[@theoboetti]

Bro plays better blindfolded than I do when I can see

[@nadavshabat1823]

bro no way he does meg no hit blinfolded and im here sweating to not waste a death defiance on mrg after beating hdes countless times

[@MrYoin11]

I recently got a robot vacuum, the behaviour is surprisingly similar haha

[@TheSilentVictim]

So sick, world first again!

[@robbie15211]

What not getting Hades2 does to a man

[@prdprdprdprdprdel]

This man has some sort of sixth sense.. He does 10 small steps to the left directly in the direction of the next room door, but one step before he'd hear he's on the wooden thing, he goes up, down or dashes away... Multiple times in this one run...

[@radioragdoll1870]

Blood and darkness!!! God-tier play!

[@nicholasgallant5905]

I would love to see the reaction vod if you post it

[@Haelian]

It's in the description with time stamps and all!

[@nicholasgallant5905]

Thanks Dad!@@Haelian

[@MrRaui]

You should do this for Hades 2 however many years from now.

What a legend.

[@ponerleunfin]

thats increedible

[@davidawakim5473]

No way he beat Meg without taking damage BLINDFOLDED 😭😭😭

[@sirefirefly]

I love the happy slaps

[@thecheck968]

I know this is insanely impressive and shows just how vast his game knowledge is. But that won’t stop me from making fun of him for not finding the door.

[@serafimb2319]

I hope you make a reaction video of yourself watching this 😅 but i guess that doesn't make sense since you already saw it when uploading/editing

[@gardian06_85]

at the end he has a caption to check the description for a twitch vod because he reviewed/reacted to it live right after.

[@egress8445]

Is there a video of him watching this run back on stream? Would be a lot of fun i bet

[@adrianalexanderveidt344]

Awesome stuff! Now do it on max heat!

[@vertfle]

Чел буквально доказал, что игра проходит сама себя и тебе, как игроку, ничего делать не надо. У меня нет слов

[@MrBenigi]

This is insane 😂

[@Fledermausmann]

So far it's been about 6 minutes and I think I can safely say that this man does a run better blindfolded than I do. Though to be fair, I have maybe 100 hours where he probably has a few thousand...

[@BoooBoooKaaa]

Dude casually did a no hit Meg BLINDFOLDED

[@OneWingedRose]

Amazing.

[@Derekki]

Crazy!

[@bob-hp1lr]

Why reroll and select the bottom boon from athena? Does it change the odds somehow or is it just superstition?

[@inaciobarbosa9396]

The very first boon you get on a run will always offer core boons (attack, cast, call etc) exclusively, unless you roll, then it becomes a normal boon

[@Haelian]

^dis, looking for Sure Footing

[@LSapio]

That's it. That's peak human evolution,

[@yoshiro324]

Bird box challenge

[@phil1530]

this is so fucking sick

did i ever tell you the time i beat an army of bloodless blindfolded and hopping on one foot?

[@seyproductions]

Never thought I'd see a BLD in anything except Rubik's cube tournaments.

can you do a fresh file clear on 1st attempt guide ? or maybe you already did one ? i keep dying to heroes even if i have merciless end 😢
