This inspired me to try one myself! It was really fun, lv 10 Dash and lv 8 black metal, as well as +3 dashes and Engulfing Vortex. Highly recommend you guys try it!
I've been watching your videos since i got into Hades a week or so ago, this is the first one I've seen that isn't at least a year old. Thanks for all the fun and interesting builds i tried and sometimes succeeded with.
ive been watching you for so long. always love to chill out to one of your vids. you got me to try hades speedrunning and that was so much fun so for all that, i kinda have to be a member here and subscribe on twitch. thanks for all the countless hours of entertainment man!
I was literally *just* thinking if this was viable or not. I refuse to stand by this Gilg slander though, if you can't use it properly then it's not bad it's just too good for you.
@@nlCowlord I dont like gilga either and i do think it underperforms, but calling an aspect that has *waiting* as part of its kit bad because it underperforms in *speed* runs is a pretty weak argument
@@yannismpa3701 What other metric would you use to determine good/bad then if not top speed potential? I could see heat performance being another, but it's not great at that either. You do know speedrunners try to make the most out of aspects, right? And gilga at its best is still quite weak compared to other aspects at their best.
@@nlCowlord because it's mechanic is not entirely speedrun friendly? As mentioned before, you have to WAIT for its main mechanic to work. So in speedruns it would be detrimental. I guess another metric is consistency? How consistent is it in clearing the game in certain heat levels regardless of how fast it is? Something like that.
You had a great build to do a « vortex only » run ! Basically the same but allows you to use the slices + demeter’s call. Would also make allow you to seek for hunting blades and freezing vortex to make it more interesting
6:00 in you talk about not taking chaos but its actually good because the chaos ones can give you higher rarity boons too i believe for things like not attacking or higher hp ect
hey this is probably a dumb question since you’ve likely done this before, but have you ever done merciful end with the zeus shield? i tried it last night, and it was SO broken. if you put ares on special and athena on attack, the shield just applies doom continuously and you can trigger it as many times as you can hit attack.
Hey Haelian, for dash only chaos can still be quite good for assault boons and boon rarity. Obviously assault is better with poseidon dash tho, where the first hit is quite big. Also, in this case you were using shadow presence, which doesn't do anything. Fiery presence helps for the first chamber (in which fiery presence is global for some reason) and for getting those chaos assault boons. Getting a big assault boon allows you to one shot bigger tartarus and some asphodel (with poseidon), although it's obviously less good on ares dash. Still fun to see you rep dash only again!
the aspect of gilgamesh gives you +2 dashes and gives you rapid dash. so he takes the mirror choice where he only has 1 dash but if you time it well you get a buff. so he has 1 default + 2 from aspect for 3 total
Based on the result of this video, no. But in reality, yes. You only get the proc of seeing Ares as the next God once, but as long as the keepsake is equipped, all Ares boons you find have a slightly higher rarity %.
Dan I’ve been wondering, when I first started clearing I used hera with true shot and it becomes my favorite but I have not used crush because I saw you use true shot once. Which is better? I have this sort of dilemma for Artemis call or Aphro call too but I go either way for that decision
Update, absolutely not viable imo. Least not without seeding. The damage of the dash itself is fairly low and aiming it is a nightmare since only the gust deals damage.
@@musabjunaidi probably? I can't see how it would do anything but help. It's more so that the dash only hits in front of you, that's the problem for me. It's pretty tough to consistently deal damage with it.
I love to hear the joy in Dan's voice when he plays Hades

Nah, gilga is quite bad. It's one of only 4 aspects to never have been sub 6d.
It's pretty bad, doesn't mean it's not fun

Hunting blades and freezing vortex are mutually exclusive
finally back, re-watched the dash runs yesterday
Good build Dan fun to watch as always and would love to see you try a demeter dash only run if you're not completely bored of hades lol
6:00 in you talk about not taking chaos but its actually good because the chaos ones can give you higher rarity boons too i believe for things like not attacking or higher hp ect
3:30 I've gravitated very strongly to Aspect of Arthur + Aphrodite Attack
It's too bad that Hunting Blades doesn't apply to dashes, it would be so strong on this build
That would make hunting blades waaaay too broken tho too.
Thank you for this tried it out and I had fun using it. Keep up the good work!
7:29 Ayo, Zag man giving Andy a shoutout
Did one of those a week ago! Always fun. Also, in the talk of strongest aspects, people don't talk about Arthur and Beawulf enough
Keep being great, Hael.
"Why are you doing this?" Content, and having fun.
Out of curiosity Dan, what happens if I ask for a Hades run while you’re playing a different game on Twitch?
Dan: 26:09
lol

How does you have three dashes at the start of the run? Is it from an aspect? I thought you only get 2 dashes from the mirror

@@litapd311 Oh okay I gotcha Thanks for clearing that up! I dont have that aspect yet lol
@@Phantasmogorica it's pretty fun, it's one of my favorite aspects in the game!
ares dashes damn , u could have included his call too
The bean blades sliceth
when you keep the ares keep sake it does improve the chance of having a better ares boon?

The AoE from Crush Shot makes it better overall, damage also scales better with poms.
Oh gotcha thanks
very sad Andy did not make use of the work to make a fine* thumbnail face
heck yeah
What’s the point of highlighting the boons at the end? Is there a mechanic to show those boons more in later runs or just…cuz?
It just shows what you used in the run? Like you said, a highlight.
Ares was being stingy asf with the legendary
"Have a nice Death" had some updates, can you play it maybe from time to time?^^
I probably won't be showing much here on YT until the full release in March honestly.
Spin big
Why can he dash three times right off the bat?
Real
Why no one has attempted dash only run with Demeter, I think it's doable.
I gotchu, I don't stream or anything but I'll do it later lmao

+1 from the Mirror and +2 from Gilgamesh
@@JohnGamble90 ohhh thank you!
Yes I get his leg
acshtUaLlY the duration is pretty irrelevant when u constantly re-dash anyway, the size would make a much bigger difference cuz they csn overlap more

"There is no good time in Hades."
Heard it here first. Hades is a bad game according to Dan.
Lol I got first comment I love ur vids
