Hades - The Highest Damage Number Ever (24,381 Damage..)

Literally the highest damage number possible (outside of traps).. It was actually 1500 more than you should be able to get because Hades glitched out and healed a bit extra.
I've done this fight a bunch of times and never seen that happen before.
There's no overkill damage in Hades and I managed to hit using only Trippy Flares with no crits, which actually took a few tries because I kept getting random crits from Pressure Points which broke my tally.. I also didn't need Hyper Sprint which was nice because it's a bit awkward with Beowulf. It works better on the Aspect of Hera with other cast.
Apparently I didn't even need Blackout or my Call to overkill him so I went a bit overboard with this build. I didn't even have that many damage buffs or any extra cast items.. Unfortunately we'll never know how much damage it would actually do.

Hades: "I CAN STILL FIGHT!!!"
Zagreus: "No you cannot"

Zagreus: " STAY DEAD OLD MAN"

"Unfortunately we'll never know how much damage it would actually do." If you reply to this comment with all the boons/hammers you had during this run and their rarity, I will personally calculate the maximum amount of damage this strike could do

Ice wine, mirage shot, legendary Artemis, 2 casts from chaos, level 5 trippy flare, ravenous will heroic, epic chaos +50% cast damage, pressure points,epic clean kill, crit on every cast

[@Warden_Boi]

Probably over 50,000

[@maseywat]

The highest I've seen is thanatos hitting a hunters mark enemy before that I didn't know he could crit but for some reason it dealt 23999

[@kamilslup7743]

My top damage count is 1815 as of now:
Shield (not beowulf), power rush, piercing shot, deadly strike, clean kill

[@007Living]

I’m had the bow with Deadly strike and automatic firing and a few chaos attacks boons, got like 1100 shots every other bow strike, another great one was with Athens’s cast and a few upgrades with chaos and Hermes and the sword that dislodges cast every strike was 750 x4 and the dislodge damage was 300 with each cast so over 2700 damage every 3 seconds lol I loved that one too

[@sopianwahyudi]

Once I managed to get 4800, using stygius aspect of arthur + artemis boons

[@AnhnotAnn]

How? Which weapon? What boons?

[@justunnam3d]

Also either chaos boons for extra casts or artemis legendary boon, potentialy chaos boons for cast dmg aswell

[@samurae7370]

The aspect of Beowulf makes it such that when you cast it instead is applied to your shield rush, so when you add piercing shot with that, it applies the cast effect wherever the piercing shot hits. Combined with Artemis' legendary for +2 casts and ultra high damage from lvl6 festive fog, possibly the fountain damage buff and chaos boons and this is the result
And also maybe crit? Not sure

[@thecactusman17]

Here's my best guess:
Firstly, Festive Fog is broken on Beowulf. specifically, it doesn't scale at the same rate as other upgrades and increases much higher with each Pom of Power. For this reason the Epic Festive Fog is at amuch higher boost than most Lv6 cast boons could achieve.
Second: Pressure Points. We don't see the Crit Chance here, but 5 casts without Stygian Soul is almost impossible without the Artemis Legendary Fully Loaded, and we must assume that he's also gotten Chaos and Charon cast bonuses. When using Abyssal Soul, the only 2 Artemis boons available to trigger Fully Loaded are Pressure Points and Support Fire. Pressure Points is a multiplier, not an addition, so it triples the damage of anyhting that gets a critical hit.
The Legendary Dionysus Boon Blackout adds 50% damage multiplier to anything within Festive Fog. This is also a multiplier effect.
Without seeing the full run or the boon list, I also have a suspicion that he somehow has Mirage Shot on. Like Festive Fog, Beowulf also breaks Mirage Shot in that the second cast from MS does not have any damage reduction.
So we're looking at 24381 total damage dividied by (Festive Fog Cast damage) x 1.5 (for Blackout) x (3) (for Artemis crit damage) x 10 (5 casts x2 for Mirage Shot)
Or roughly 500 damage per cast give or take a few percentage point bonuses from other sources,

[@tiagoj8020]

It's the beowolf Dionysus bug. Plus he has Dionysus legendary blackout. I'm gonna guess that he has Hermes legendary too because his recharge time was faster

[@ter9799]

dionysus cast, mirage shot, fully loaded, black out, bad news, hades call keepsake, charged shot, raveous will, 2 cast stones, maybe even more cast damages from the well or chaos

[@Warden_Boi]

My highest is over 5,000 with a similar build

[@uyintelligent]

I made 17000 damage with arrow

[@aizen3396]

[@IShootHalfCourts]
