The most broken boon combo in the game is a speedrunner's dream. | Hades

Hello friends and lovers welcome back to Hades for personal computer and yes I am in the middle of the run because we need to show a death cuz today we're going to do something little special we're going to do a speed run and we're going to try to speedrun the game you know I can't promise how fast the time's going to be we're going to do what they call an RTA run which stands for Real Time attack it just means you measure your time in real time instead of the actual in-game timer the major difference between this style run in using the in-game timer is the fact that your decision- making does uh affect how slow or quick your run is going to be so it means you got to pick those Boons very quickly it's just a fun way to play I think I highly recommend checking it out we're going to use the aspect of Nemesis so that way you can get some tips on how to go quickly with the sword hopefully here we're going to start with Poseidon's Keepsake uh in order to try to get Splash Dash just because that Boon is incredibly powerful and allows you to clear small enemies very quickly early on I had these packs on so that we could show a death because if you're going to submit a speedrun on to speedrun.com or even on YouTube in order to verify that you didn't you didn't know what was going to happen in the first few chambers of the run you got to show that death it's sort of a way to they call it unseated so it's sort of a way to kind of prove that you didn't know uh what's at least going to be in chamber one and then possibly after that when it has to do with C the Hades that's a very complex and indepth topic to get into so it's kind of hard for me to explain it all but let's hop into the Run see how well we do we're going to have to make these decisions quickly again we're looking for Splash Dash here hope we get a decent Rarity we did not get a decent Rarity that's okay though it's not the end of the world we're going to we're going to be Dash striking all over the place uh with aspect of Nemesis here the hope is to get the double edge Hammer because it doubles your dash strikes and your dash strikes just are much more fluid and deal a lot more damage we're definitely going to want Pals we would like an attack Moon eventually of course but ping this Dash is probably the best thing that we can do for quite a while there's a couple of combinations we're really going to be looking for namely hypers Sprint and Rush delivery I'm not even going to look at doors that just have a single exit we're just going to mash the button and enter Because you know it doesn't matter ideally you would actually take fewer menus and you would not ever have to roll anything that's probably not going to happen you know not now okay we are going to take this chaos gate it does mean that we have to skip the hammer but that's pretty much always worth it because taking a chaos gate over a regular combat chamber means you don't have to spend time fighting enemies these are not very good let's see what else we got attack damage but I take some damage myself we're going to try it we might get very injured here chaos uh curses cannot kill you though but we might end up losing a Defiance or two which is still bad for a run like this because the animation for losing a death Defiance does cost you time okay that was pretty quick we do throw Meg out there just cuz we're kind of low on the damage at the start a decent attack from aphroditi will do us pretty well here wites are pretty scary with this curse you got going on just because it's easy for them to get like a shot off on us didn't happen yet one more chamber with this curse getting the chop here is [Music] great uh we don't want Aries really at all oh I probably should have bought that Health in hindsight ah maybe not actually hard to say okay there goes one it was bound to happen it's okay we plan to get powerful or the hope is to get at least powerful enough to we this shouldn't really happen too much after this hope you like uh chaos noises here right now by the [Laughter] way this is a hard run uh where you I have to spend a lot more time focusing and potentially a lot less time actually discussing I'm not supposed to give boldy there by the way because that costs time we have a lot of money like seeing Baldi at all is great though wow into a fountain that is actually quite lucky and it's right before the end we don't really want demer I will buy pretty much everything in here I think we still hit Splash dash for now we don't really care that much about Athena so we'll take that our in game time is actually pretty good A 158 is decent you know honestly we didn't get a hammer which is too bad cuz that's kind of what we really want and but the problem is there's really only one hammer that is important here that is the double edge Hammer which doubles our Dash strikes so if we don't get that then it's probably not going to be a super quick run no way now I don't have our timer out here you might be wondering what is a good time in Hades and RTA well I mean it's kind of just whatever you feel is good there is no like bad time so to speak I'm just going to go straight for this I think at this point those are not very useful let's go we're going to try to get some attack jerky basically that was the hope at least there's not really any other bonss we desperately are seeking besides Boons from Hermes honestly now um to give you some kind of frame of reference though I think my fastest time oh God I can't remember off the top of my head I have a command that says these things for me my fastest time is with aspect of Hera and I believe it's a 13 minute something Run in real time now Hera tends to be faster not just on average but almost in the sum of total really than uh something like aspect of Nemesis aspect that Nemesis can kind of have a hard time keeping up in that regard something like uh Hera is just very reliable since you just it's kind of like a it's borderline a one Boon build you just get a cast Boon and you're pretty solid this actually requires a few moving Parts there's a lot of different things here that you really want to have happen though like this was kind of bad luck where we got this one enemy jumping around right all right here's a really important part here ooh all Epic interesting hypers Sprint is the main thing we got it we didn't get forced out of the mid shop which is what can happen here in Asphodel especially this is nice for movement um no I don't think you buy Zeus there I don't think you do what are we being forced into here deer that's bad and the barge of death is also the worst mini boss you can get here it's probably the biggest mini boss effect in the game because it is just much much slower than all the other mini bosses here in Asphodel and none of the other mini bosses are like very important you'd rather see the butterfly ball in elisium but it's not the end of the world if you do get them in aour this is quite a difference though it's always hardge for me though let me tell you what can you do about it literally nothing it it happens or it doesn't happen you know roll with the punches kind of situation here oh my God whatever I just didn't really care I don't really want to roll there there's 's nothing much we could get ah we did get Ury this is actually really important we are definitely going to take refreshing nectar with the Hope being that it'll affect the next Hermes bonss we get very soon so that we can get a high Rarity Rush delivery from from him and that's going to be a huge portion of damage if we can get that to happen we do actually want more Poseidon Boons namely too razor shols breaking wave would be nice those would be the things that we want but Poseidon is decided to abandon us just like my father Parting Shot doesn't really do anything I'm not even going to take it I'm just going to take something that feels a slot here I think at this point we're not using our cast damage at all all right Hermes we did not get Hermes unfortunately I do not want to buy that Deiter cuz there's not much we want from her we still do not have our first Hammer as well so there the the rim Luck's actually been quite good this run but the the build luck is a bit on the mediocre side side so far kind of uh just didn't really get anything strong there but the fact that we were able to get idy and we got a pretty good pattern in tardus for the chambers it's enough to where I'm not going to ditch this entire video for you all don't worry consider this your everyday man's Hades run perhaps maybe in post I'll let you know what the time of this run was exactly best I can okay if you want to know the world record for a category like this oh God so you they we kind of separate it by weapon and aspect because each weapon aspect just has a different amount of potential when it comes to something like this nowadays we will take a chaos gate I guess I'm going to leave this Keepsake on and I'm not certain what it is for a sword but I know the world record for um any% RTA and I think the record is held by Era or bolf one of those two basically I'm just going to take that that's fine there's Hermes okay Hermes is more important now I think it's in the 12-minute range it's incredibly quick ridiculously quick I do think we take Hermes here and instead because otherwise refreshing nectar will run out from youry obviously we want the hammer but there's only so much you can do we tried and we failed all right calm down everyone for Bo nectar I mean delivery 75% good enough for me then there's there's the hammer okay come on double edge so Rush delivery damage the extra damage from Rush delivery will affect both our attack damage and our Dash damage so that's going to be a really big increase here it's going to feel really nice now especially since we're Dash striking everywhere we kind of don't even got to think about it right okay very nice and we got nothing piercing wave is probably the best case scenario there nothing you definitely don't want those other ones piercing wave like you might get like a couple wave out here and there it's not good though that this is sort of the problem with the sword hammers where either you get double edge or you don't and there's really no no realistic runner up that is very helpful unfortunately okay you know what just give me the death Defiance here I think uh check this well really quick move speed is helpful it actually gives us more damage here and we go to the shop I will buy the Palm just this once I think think give me that Health too ooh Patty very nice we can take the attack jerky from Patty now you don't want to menu too much so like buying that pond might have been wrong cuz it required me to open a menu you know you avoid the trial because that's just a lot of menus and trials just take much longer and yeah all sorts of issues oh dang that trap stung there goes all that health I just bought huh we have extra trap damage from uh chaos right now that was one of the reasons why I didn't really want to roll that chaos Boon that we saw like we had the rolls right but partially I wanted to make sure we had as many rolls as possible for Hermes number two rolling just kind of costs time you know not huge amounts of time obviously okay here we go now we're going to get double Ed right guaranteed literally doubling more than doubling are attack damage output if we were able to get it trying to go near the doors so that the enemies spawn closer to the doors as well and hopefully we can leave the chamber more quickly that way okay my friends yeah I kind of saw that coming okay and we still didn't get it none of those are actually good they're all pretty lousy what should I buy here if anything I'll buy that stuff partially just to get high confidence up in running now I think now there's obviously going to be a big piece of RNG here at the end of the run and that is where will the sack appear and you've probably heard me discuss it many a time before it is just luck that that there's nothing else to really say about it no they're don't believe the superstitions where if you take a certain door like the leftmost door you're going to get it at this or that time that's just not how it works we've seen the code for how it does work and long story short it's a 50 something per chance of getting the sack on your second path no matter which path you take um and if you're forced to do all five then the odds are very low actually beuse maybe I should have bought that Meg there honestly we didn't really get anything useful there I tried to spend a roll maybe I should have rolled that well again honestly in hindsight what can you do though now speedrunners and myself will be taking the uh the mini boss rooms here first and sticks the skull Chambers because they tend to just be a lot faster let's see what's to get through the mini bosses are actually much quicker than regular bosses man it really is a shame we never got an extra Poseidon Boon huh typical Hades run you put on a God's Keepsake at the start and then you never see that God again after chamber one right what can you do though okay got to line up the Meg potentially the boss should be in this chamber here okay we don't have to think too hard about it I'm a little late on that Meg we probably could have summoned her earlier but that's okay we didn't get any extra spawns or anything besides The Wretched Tony that's probably the is that the worst mini boss um I don't know it has a lot of Health the Doom Stone has a lot of Health too it's definitely not a the good mini boss the best mini boss is the the bother the pot that throws bombs around second best has to be the Seder I would imagine all right come on show us that sack baby show me that sack yes okay thank you foul I holy Shield I guess it's something that deals damage I guess blind no blinding flash is pretty weak we're not even going to go to the shop oh Anvil Anvil who they let me Anvil now piercing wave is gone flurry slash and Supernova got do so useless literally useless I tried I tried oh thank God we didn't get curse slash though you know what I mean oh how I tried this was a decent run actually it actually had a some some good RNG in here I got to say I there was definitely some small things I could have done better I don't know if I could have uh done it significantly better though we're just going to make right away and try to deal as much damage as possible we're putting we put on Dad's keeps by the way cuz it it allows us to deal some extra damage unfortunately he got away now that [Music] moment okay I'm trying to just use the special Dash strike special Dash strike over and over again oh man double Darkness it's just bad luck see yeah yeah yeah yeah cool story daddy you kind of don't want to build up a greater call here because there's a little cut scene that plays when you use it then you are invincible during it though yeah yeah yeah woo there it is there's the time 9:04 ingame time it's honestly nothing too special RTA I'll have to show you on the screen after the point I'll do go ahead and do a measurement for y'all it was fun though it is fun this is a fun way to play the game it's also incredibly challenging you saw actually how close that fight was the luck here was kind of not good overall I would say I would call it not very good um and it's possible I made some mistakes there we did get Rush delivery in hypers Sprint which is kind of just a requirement depending on how quickly you do want to go uh for something like this we had aspect of Nemesis we had that attack uh bonus and then after that I guess you might just want to highlight if anything uh that juicy attack damage bonus we got from chaos early on which was definitely really nice was that a requirement no it definitely helped a lot though uh normally you would just hope for a lot more Poseidon boomes to help you out breaking wave razor shs those are sort of the bread and butter for this it might not do do that much to the bosses so we did okay on the bosses I think there but yeah also double edge not getting double edge is really really painful here but you know depending how hard you want to reset and how fast you want to go uh this is probably like a good starting point for it honestly good thing we took that extra death defience from Athena though huh I know we kind of blazed through that but uh let me know what yall think like comment subscribe if you got questions about the run about speedruns about Hades about whatever feel free to let me know in the comments thank you all so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video [Music]
