My jaw dropped.. so going to try this.. and thanks so much for those tips. I actually managed to kill Hades first time with your Shield and Ares doom special build. Thanks so much! 🎉🎉🎉
I did a run with Ares' cast for the first time in a while just the other day, but completely forgot about the Hunting Blades duo boon and the lack of homing made it a lot less effective than I remembered. Gonna have to give it another shot now.

Your best chance of finding nectar will be to reroll centaur heart or money rooms. Olympians cycle to other Olympians or Daedalus. And Darkness/gems/keys almost Always cycle between themselves. >Don't burn all your rerolls if you can help it >If you don't have rerolls, always pick a key over gems. If you have rerolls and 5 keys already, pick gems over keys. It takes 50 gems to buy 5 keys.
@@talleywa5772 Thanks for the reply mate I appreciate it. I am doing most of those things already though I didn't know about the reroll with hearts/coin/nectar. Lately I've been completing duo and legendary prophesies so I've been spending my rerolls on the Gods. I've been choosing darkness over gems and keys to boost my fated choices in the mirror again to help complete those prophesies. Once that's out the way I'll focus on nectar rerolls I guess. On top of that I forget which fish gives you nectar but that's always a welcome bonus
It isn't really something you can specifically farm for. You can sometimes get it from gem troves and sometimes from poseidons sunken treasure boon. Also, you can trade for it with the wretched broker.
Wish the boons for the massive damage cast was in the description or comments. Can't remember all of them while I'm playing. Just passed 100 runs and I'm just trying new builds and having fun, and this one looks ridiculous. Happy Gaming everyone 👍
6:55 what about just getting rid of deadly strike here because we don't really use our attack much for this build? Oh I guess maybe we need to maintain it just in case we find something good from Artemis that requires it? Her legendary doesn't require the strike though. 9:39 - this is rather large number of damage.
Nope; the boon specifies Cast, so it doesn't work with Rifts created by Blade Dash. If it did, it would be even more hilariously broken than it already is (and to be honest, I wish it did work that way, I love blade rifts).
Hey JP! So I saw this video when you released it, and had really only tried Hunting Blades with Poseidon sword. I misunderstood the Achilles Rush bonus, and thought it was like Eris, timed duration after the rush rather than attack/cast based. So I tried it today with Achilles. I got Ares Legendary + Hermes Legendary. Then even with no extra cast damage or extra permanent Casts from Chaos (stygian soul from mirror), I got one Prometheus Stone in the last available Satyr tunnel. Anyways, I managed to hit 13.2k damage in the second phase of EM4 Hades, and 11.3k to finish him off in the final phase. It was nuts. It was no 17.2k, but still PREEETTY big numbers. Thanks for the inspiration and the content! 😁
@@JawlessPaul Yeah, some rounds you get everything you need, some times... less so. But don't worry. I got the Area legendary boon the run after, and that was the goal.

You are welcome! Cheers!
Damn, I've only just finished the main story, but watching this makes me realize how much farther I have to go with Hades. Great vid!
There's a lot of secrets to plunder! :)
Is this mathematically the most powerful build in pure DPS? I can’t think of another way to hit 17K
Perhaps! I think demeter cast might be able to beat it, but I've never tested it.
Finished a game today with Artemis Ares and Artemis Zeus duo’s. very lucky and finally very easy!
Very nice!
I did a run with Ares' cast for the first time in a while just the other day, but completely forgot about the Hunting Blades duo boon and the lack of homing made it a lot less effective than I remembered. Gonna have to give it another shot now.
It really transforms that cast into something magical :)
Yeah, base Slicing Shot isn't really that spectacular honestly, but Hunting Blades is just silly.
Gooooood lord, you absolutely MELTED Hades. Didn’t know a cast could be that ridiculous
You are my favorite hades content creator. Sending love from South Dakota.
Thanks luke! I appreciate that!
Yup he is a chill guy with some great build videos. I watch him the most out of Hades clips. 👍
Hey Paul, do you have any tips on farming nectar? Seems pretty hard to stumble upon

@@CramoJJEEDC any fish caught in elysium will give you nectar.

Great tip!
I saw 17,214 at the last place I could see the number. That's INSANE. I LOVE hunting blades!
It's really a fun build to run! Always a pleasure :)
17,214 damage??? That’s absolutely bonkers! 😂
Bonkers indeed!
I think we finally figured out how much health Dad has in P3

Slicing Shot Cast, Hunting Blades (Ares, Artemis duo), Engulfing Vortex/Black Metal, Vicious Cycle (Ares legendary), Fully Loaded (Artemis legendary)
@@JawlessPaul why thank you good sir. I'm playing Hades right now, gonna work on this build next.
what were those green arrows you were launching
Support fire! It's a boon from Artemis.
Is there a video on Legendary & Duo boons and how they work? I'm fairly early on in Hades, just at second heat for my weapons but curious
You can find everything in the codex! Just go to the boon you want and it will show the boons you need
@@TheB0sss that's very helpful, thank you!
Yes! The codex is incredible!
One of my favorite builds already love hunting blades
Totally! This is the most busted I've ever had with Hunting Blades
Now *THAT* is, as the kids say, *A LOTTA DAMAGE*
Yessirree!
No way! I thought the thumbnail was click bait. Insane bro!
Haha! It was unbelievable to me when it happened!
That syergy is bonkers.
For the record I commented this before he said "bonkers" in the vid lmao
It really is! 🤣
It really just is the best word for this!
6:55 what about just getting rid of deadly strike here because we don't really use our attack much for this build? Oh I guess maybe we need to maintain it just in case we find something good from Artemis that requires it? Her legendary doesn't require the strike though.
9:39 - this is rather large number of damage.
I think the prereqs for her legendary require it
It doesn't require it, I could have sold, but I kinda like the crits for spins with Achilles :)
Yes, and yes!
I’m with you JP! Let’s go!
Didn’t even summon Cerberus. So many records broken.
Yeah!
It was crazy! 🤣
Does hunting blades work with blade dash
Great question.... I've always wondered
Yes
Nope; the boon specifies Cast, so it doesn't work with Rifts created by Blade Dash. If it did, it would be even more hilariously broken than it already is (and to be honest, I wish it did work that way, I love blade rifts).
It doesn't make the blades follow enemies around if that's what you are asking. You can certainly get the blade dash though.
JP out here making it look easy!
Haha, we found quite a few incredible boons! Cheers!
Much love from ya boy, Bloodiestfart
Hey! Thanks for the comment, sir! :)
@@JawlessPaul oh man I was just here boosting the algorithm. Thanks for the love, boss.
That's a filthy build. Want.
This build is just so safe. Shoot out hunting blades then hide
Exactly!
Shame we don't have these mini keepsake characters icons on ps5 version 😔.
You sure about that? You need to forge a bond with the character you get them from. They're not just there.
@@alexanderalfonsson5874 ooooh! So it will appear? Great!
@@Mr.BednaR yeah just keep giving out that Nectar.
And ambrosia. You have to be at MAX relationship with them.
You can get em! Just max out your relationships!
Hades never had a chance against this build.
It's true! So much damage so fast!

me trying a build like this:
See ares 1 time in Tartarus (because keepsake) and then I don't see him again until STYX!!! not my greatest run.
Bummer! That happens sometimes. You gotta make lemonade, which is never fun 🤣
@@JawlessPaul Yeah, some rounds you get everything you need, some times... less so. But don't worry. I got the Area legendary boon the run after, and that was the goal.
17, 214 😮 I think the highest number I’ve ever gotten was around 2,700. Also I suck 😂
Nah, 2700 is respectable! This is absurd damage... I got very lucky indeed!
Have you ever done voice-over work? Your voice sounds so familiar to me.
I never have! Would love to though! 🤣
Wow, my largest damage was 3-4k from Artemis. 👀
17k damage, bye2 Simp Queen lol
LOL!
Daaaayum!
The thought had crossed my mind 🤣
Support comment
Thanks for the support! 🙏
Epic
That's a good word for it! 🤣
