Question: why isn’t the Heat level mentioned in a speed run? Doesn’t Heat affect the difficulty, therefore affecting the time of the speedrun (significantly, at that) as well? So heat should matter in determining the speed run’s placement on leaderboards
As far as I understand it its just any% all weapons. 12 Heat is the best for Speedrunning due to forced overtime and something else, making spawns and enemies quicker. Thus the game is harder but also faster. Dont think there is much to gain making leaderboards for different heats Edit: Also, he explains it just 3 minutes into the video, at 3:40
Chaos is good for room clear, but the damage can be mediocre on bosses until you can get some Duos (Sea Storm/Merciful End/Dio Duos). And reminder that two of the first were nerfed, making them more difficult to obtain. On the other hand Beowolf is chunky with just one decent boon and can be further amped up with just poms on the Cast while the room clears can be compensated by better movement/positioning. There's no compensating boon RNG
Is there any reason you see speed runners dying on purpose before starting a run? Does it manipulate RNG to give better boons or is it just that run was lost and wanting a reset?
@@GuiBemazo the rooms are pre determined when you die so you can go through a run see the boons and room order and then quit out if you like the seed and the next run will be the same as the previous one. One huge advantage of you could know which room in the sack is in. You could also know which boon and which rarity will be offered in the first room soyou couldforce a certain god without using their keepsake or force a specific hammer in the first room
The time save is just playing better and getting better or atleast comparable rng than the previous WR. Hades doesn't seem to be a complicated strat based speedrun. Just skill.
@@reio1951 yeah, I was asking because in most games I follow speed runs of, a 10 minute time save means some **huge** trick that breaks the game was found.
me: Wow, 7 minutes IGT asphodel clear with my main weapon, go me :D
haelian: hold my 7 minutes nemesis full clear
1:24:18 The real highlight of this run.
Fuck yeah, I can never really catch streams so I’m pumped to sit down and watch this whole thing.
Same, man. He usually streams at 12AM in my country, so it's really hard to catch it
+1, still hoping he posts his whole new-file-to-credits run at some point
Thank you for the time stamps on this.
it was so cool to see / hear you on AGDQ!!!!!! one of my favorite events, very exciting that one of my favorite streamers/speedrunners was on it!!!!!
You know it's a good run when the time in the title is 8 minutes faster than the sum of best splits
Congrats on the PB and 3rd place on the board.
29:20 Holy shit man! Haelian calm down! The dream stans are already crying! XD
The fish was hilarious lmfaooo

I was there for this stream!
Beowulf Hmmm interesting. I always thought that chaos aspect was the best aspect on shield for everything.
That’s interesting to me because I thought of the chaos shield as being one of the weaker ones
@@zak0o110 well just stick Zeus/Ares on special or posidon with sea storm and its beautiful the way it nukes rooms. BTW you can shotgun the special.

@@bruhder5854 oooo I’ll make sure to try that out always down to try things in this game
@@FreeWillMind I love all the varieties on using it I’ll need to try some of them out sometime soon :)

You have to show a death before a speedrun to prove the run isn't seeded.
@@noahbirds ohhhh I assumed it was just a popular editing choice for speed runners lmao that makes far more sense
@@noahbirds maaaan sorry it's already an year, but what does seeded mean in that context? I'm no english native speaker xD

Dampdad does it again! Also, where can I find that art in the thumbnail? So cool!
The hades wikia has the game art for most characters.
@@GrandHighGamer thanks!
Do you really think Heart Rend is that much better than Deadly Reversal? I feel like I would've just taken the Athena Special.
It would be fun if somehow you could ad the Channel point bets for the RUclips viewers to follow along
Even the game thought his no call joke was lame so it killed him.
29:19 OMEGALUL
Really nice! does anyone know if you can use meg on the meg fight? how does that work?
No meg on meg action allowed
@@noahbirds so sad
@@noahbirds wait a minute
Speed
on the first run why did you use your special when the chaos effect hit you every time you use it?
Cuz he’s got BIG stones bro 😂 in all honesty that made me really anxious watching it too.
So what was the 10 minute time save? Are you just built different?

13:31 WTF????? it seens that i'm unable to do damage to these two fuckers and the guy just demolishes them
