Hades, first clear of 32 heat, overall clear #78, escape attempt

After farming Titan Blood up to about 10 heat on all the weapons, clearing 10 heat w/ EM4, I tried 16 heat for skelly and it wasn't that bad, cleared it first try.
So I figured... why not just go for 32 heat?
First I tried Hestia with Shackles and a very random assortment of stuff on my punishment pact, had the 7 minute per biome timer... and ended up running out of time on [REDACTED] which was kind of distressing since it's been a long time since the 7 minute even felt like a factor. I saw the 30 second warning come up and I was crestfallen. Had enough health left but I was still on phase 1. Probably didn't help that I hadn't ever actually used Hestia so I practiced on Skelly for a few seconds and gave it a try.
Then I looked at some guides for other ideas and tried Chiron with Stubborn Defiance and maxed out Lasting Consequences. Long story short, I hope that dude retires from guide-writing and offering advice. I tried twice, I think once I died at Heroes and.... the second attempt I died at Furies. Nope. No more. Not even making it out of Tartarus? I can't handle that kind of shame.
Dropped SD for Death Defiance, and pulled out Talon... which... well also isn't something I used a lot, and had to launder some materials into enough TItan's Blood in order to max it out. Video has the tail end of my first attempt. Strategically starting just a bit after I lost like 90 health for no good reason, when the run might have still been salvageable. I was going for Merciful End, never got it. In Elysium I was low on health so I put on the Tooth thinking I would save a DD from it, but forgot it takes your DD instead of your Tooth on death. Pretty sure had i just gone straight to Acorn at that point I'd have saved a DD and had a shot of clearing it. As it was, I was just nervous and sloppy.
I really didn't like full convenience fee so I tweaked it such that I'd have some effective money, and some effective healing. Went for Merficul End again, this time got it, and despite playing pretty badly and losing mulitple DDs, I got the gay dudes in Elysium to replenish them (along with an, in hindsight, unnecessary Athena replenish.
Somewhere in Styx my DualShock 4 started.... leaking lubricant? I don't really know. I've gone through like 10 DS4s via Rocket League abuse and not once has this happened... but I mean... it didn't come from my hand, and it didn't come from the sky... so... something... popped and gushed out of the controller?
What I do know is that by the time [REDACTED] came around it was a total mess but I didn't want to pause and try to clean it up in case the controller outright failed. Plus, with full DD, an Acorn, and over 300 starting health, I could just DPS race him for the most part and get the win.
Which I did. And so now I'm going to treat myself to some food befitting a Greek God: Chick-fil-A
