Yeah exactly you basically have to save all your rolls for this so your build is gonna be garbage, you have to run early Athena so again basically getting nothing out of your keepsakes until Biome 4 and you have you hit Hades. I think on high fear a less degenerate version where you only go for realistic stacks could still have potential but I would just think you're probably lacking too much damage for most of the game to get to Hades on high fear and will run out of time.
When I realised you can get Athena in the underworld with her keepsake, I immediately thought of this but I was also never going to attempt this so I was happily surprised to see this video!
For the Shadow Spiller mini boss, when using the vow that makes mini bosses harder, the Banshees REPLACE the root spawners. Shadows in those fights always vanish when the mini boss dies, and those banshees are shadows
Yay! You took my idea from the other vid. Probably other people's too, I really don't think I'm the only one who thought of it. Shoutouts to the person in chat roasting you for not paying me lol. Looking forward to this, hope you have fun :) Edit: Ok, this is exactly why I suggested turning up enemy damage and health lol
@@shortslaboratory And get as many things that replenish DDs as possible. Toula; Kiss of Styx in wells; Luckier Tooth; Echo Survive Survive Survive; and Narcissus Life Savings are some things that help you stack DDs for Hades Last Gasp
I'll miss the comedy when we get his art and model. There's something very very funny to me about him talking up his looks and how much he loves staring at himself when he's generic and faceless
here's a run idea you might like: Queen's/King's Ransom highest level you can + Echo's bew Pom boon. I managed to get a rare thunder flourish at lvl40, doing 950 blitz damage. Honestly the most fun I had in a run
Not sure if you've done this yet, but you can also get a lvl 30+ boon for either hera or zeus if you grab the sacrifice duo and get the "Double the level of your highest level boon" from echo. I'm sure this DD thing would be pretty nuts with it as well, if you could get 2 rewards from echo but sadly no work around other than the trinket. I've had a single Hera boon that gave me 400%+ damage on my attack
I think the plot of Alien Romulus is decent, there are issues with it but my biggest complaint is the lack of generational diversity in the cast. I think it would have really helped the credibility of the story to have a wide range of ages amongst the cast members rather than a bunch of 20 somethings.
What a nice run Dan! Could I make a suggestion? Try a run using that new duo boon that's deals damage when you recover magic with tranquil gain (demeter's magic recover boon) and to spend magic, use zeus' sprint. Awesome video like always!
I've tried to make good use of that duo but it has been rough to be honest (it didn't work with Brave Face + Fixed Gain). Promise I'll find something interesting with it though!
Fun fact about Aliens. That knife tapping scene with Lance Hendrickson was REAL. He practiced doing the knife dance for like 6 months before hand so the reactions are real. They did speed it up a little to make it look like an android did it super fast but he really did that. Crazy.
I wonder if this is actually a Narcissus finished art? Like we are not suppose to see his face or we fall in love too. Or maybe they will make him utterly ugly just for fun.
Maybe after the hidden aspects come? He's already made a Xinth explanation video and a video about the updates, so they're separately talked about already. The hiddens will be here in a few months probably anyways and there's gonna be some balance patches too, so no need to make a video now that could be quickly out of date.
It didn't apply only to the cast, it applies to everything. Look at Divine Vengeance for example, it was doing 400+ damage after he got Last Gasp instead of the 100 damage it's supposed to do in the boon description
Is someone able to explain (or Haelian yourself if you see this 😂) why he wanted Echo’s DD boon so bad? Seemed to just replenish all 5 for him to lose it all again so Strength is activated again without any other benefit that I’m seeing 😅 Am I missing something Edit: paused and read Last Grasp more…. Is it based on each time you lose a DD through the run?? Oh hot damn, too bad Circe can’t give u an extra life with cat familiar to spend if that’s the case
The fact that it doesnt come online until Tartarus means this is totally fine but also imagine not getting the Hades boon after all that LMAOOO

Yeah, his "palm" had a welt for three weeks.
Dry ice 9 months after that: 🫃🧊

Divine Vengeance stocks after this video 📈📈📈
One of those runs I'm glad to let you do. It's funny to know it works and not something I'd like to try, lol.

Hey, can you please explain the build and which boons should I take? Because from the video it's not completely understandable
@@shortslaboratory the only thing that matters is Athena's boon Stalwart Stand near the beginning and Dad's boon Last Gasp at the end

12:58 I just realized the charon wells still have the old gold coin sprites.
Maybe they can’t use unfinished art for narcissis because he HAS to beautiful
I'll miss the comedy when we get his art and model. There's something very very funny to me about him talking up his looks and how much he loves staring at himself when he's generic and faceless
I'm 100% sure Narcissus doesn't even have a placeholder art yet because the most beautiful man being a featureless cloaked figure is funny
I hope the final art of him has a paper bag over his head, TBH

Also shoutout to everyone else thats crazy and patient enough to try this run
It was way cooler than I expected, thanks for the rec!

the sekiro shadows die 45 times run 🤣
Sekiro mentioned, Like given
I recently had a Thanatos-Aphro-Demeter run where the last hit of the attack sequence did 2300 damage on its own 😅
"so to start this run we gonna die 3 times" lol

Hello friends and lovers
*Ahem* (clears throat)
I've never skipped the middle 40 minutes of a video faster in my life
Fun fact about Aliens. That knife tapping scene with Lance Hendrickson was REAL. He practiced doing the knife dance for like 6 months before hand so the reactions are real. They did speed it up a little to make it look like an android did it super fast but he really did that. Crazy.
Bruh
I know the perfect title for this run "The Masochist Mel Build"
Crazy ideas are the best ideas
am i the only one that finds game way more manageable now after the patches?
Me too but also maybe we've gotten better
very cool run
oh nooo I missed this run live...
FUCKWORK
The end was awesome
You’re right, it was a crazy idea.
With a lot of vengeance boons and enough health, it could be perfect for a pacifist run..
This is how I learn last grasp is retroactive 😮
I wonder if this is actually a Narcissus finished art? Like we are not suppose to see his face or we fall in love too. Or maybe they will make him utterly ugly just for fun.
@@2admie nah bro, they should make him look like handsome squidward
What if they make his face covered by a bag
Imagine if you had the Antler on top of your 300+% global damage buff
This would be pretty good for the afk vengeance run
I thot daddy Hades was holding a glock... sorry Its early here and I just woke up
idk the state of the record on the chronos fight speedrun but might be "viable" for that i guess
YES I HAD THIS IN A RUN AND I GOT 80% EXTRA AND MELTED CHRONOS
Requesting a new aspects video, given that the last nocturnal arm was released and a lot of aspects were reworked since the last 😁
Maybe after the hidden aspects come? He's already made a Xinth explanation video and a video about the updates, so they're separately talked about already. The hiddens will be here in a few months probably anyways and there's gonna be some balance patches too, so no need to make a video now that could be quickly out of date.
I'll probably do something but it will take some time! Here's hoping not too much changes while working on it...
We'll need that with a strong Aphro attack or the duo boon that gives you 200% attack damage if not empowered by a boon, if those works
duo got replaced and turned into a well of charon item that only lasts 10 rooms, you’d have to get absurdly lucky for that to work out sadly
@@chrisw_b damn really ? That sucks
Die every time, win prizes.
but why did the damage bonus apply only on the cast?genuinely asking
It didn't apply only to the cast, it applies to everything. Look at Divine Vengeance for example, it was doing 400+ damage after he got Last Gasp instead of the 100 damage it's supposed to do in the boon description
I was entertained

Purely for Last Gasp which is retroactive, so that was 5 extra triggers on it.
now do this with hera and heph's duo LOL
Why not Mel aspect? Scales with damage and max HP..
Huh? It doesn't scale with max HP it just gives you a little more. Than is quite a lot better than it just because of the attack speed increase.
Absurd
"I don't think you'd do this on purpose" after doing it on purpose...
