Cursed run idea: listen only to chat

Interesting how "Make Worst Choices" isn't the same as "Pick Worst Door". There were a couple rooms where both a good run and a bad run make the same door choice, simply because of the further options inside.

I love how Chaos just was like "this is a cast build now"

If you ever have a guest on the show, you could have them adversarially make all your choices, and that'd allow for more complicated stuff like fated authority usage and pact setup (for higher heats). Could be fun!

honestly this was pretty funny, i'd like to see more of these until you can actually win one LOL

For all the hours in this game you sure made some bad choices this run.

A bad choices run feels just like when I was learning to play.

Rules as I would have done them: - Fated Persuasion but only to use 1 roll if all your options are good for a pick one - When purchases are available, you can buy as many things as you want (money permitting), but you must start with the worst deal. Goes for both the well and shop. No spending persuasion. Same for purging pools, you can choose how many boons to purge but must start with the best. - If having Persuasion to be sure of no good boons is too hard, you could throw in some number of "cheats" where you can pick what you actually want. Probably just one or two Choices I would have made: For the first hammer I would take world splitter and then refuse to take a multiplicative attack boon. Maybe even switch to Dionysus' keepsake to guarantee drunken strike. For the first Artemis I would have gone with pressure points. It's only a 6% effective improvement as long as you don't take anything to reward you for critting. Not choices, but commentary - I find it funny how you complained about how bad a room was when flamewheels are like the one challenge you're decently equipped for. - Butterfly ball would be hellish with this build. It's like the four kings from dark souls, where low DPS is way harsher than it should be because without damage the fight gets worse on a time-based schedule instead of by HP. - I find it hilariously fitting how proud of himself Theseus is for winning a fight against someone who spent the whole run setting himself up to lose.

What about doing a "suboptimal" choice run? You pick any option that you don't consider to be the best in that choice, for example taking either flourish OR flood shot because splash dash was the best. This way it'd be an easier run that can be done on higher heat and still be pretty fun, maybe?

What's funny is that even with no heat you died in exactly the same place lmao better luck next time Dan

How about a slay the streamer like frostprimes slay the spire format where chat votes for your boonchoices and has to try to kill you but also make content That'd be lit!

Skipping the chaos fish literally broke me.

This was far more entertaining than I expected it to be, haha.

Do this run again, but with Talos aspect; your favorite.

This was fun, but having most of the choices be around “what’s worse for me” takes some of what makes Hades cool, focusing instead only on gameplay. As an alternative, you could have a hard rule on worst choice only when given a boon or hammer option. Everything else you can then decide the best for you, for instance, picking a god instead of chaos because it would be less painful to you. This would also allow you to use the mirror and pact.

As someone who’s never played with stubborn defiance, I’m curious what the soldier in the [!] room of Elysium gives in replacement of Kiss of Styx? Can’t top up your lives if you have infinite right?

plays making every wrong choice possible, still gets out of asphodel in 10 minutes, just like me. feels bad man

It would be fun a mod where the doors are hidden all the time and the boons too

Wait can’t you turn off work orders? You should do that next time you attempt this

I personally hate World Splitter just because of how it totally changes the flow of sword. I tend to rely on the special-dash-dash attack pattern and I feel like Splitter just makes things weird. But, I can see how if you adjusted your playstyle it might not be too bad.

tfw this is how you play hades

Artemis dash is best dash. Big numbers make brain release happy juice

I don’t know why I thought Haelian was bald?

This is how I play real life

This looks like one of my runs xD

What... this is how I normally run

Considering how often you used special in this run, idk why the first hammer's "worst" offer was something to increase special range and damage tbh. I would think big chop was worst, since you mainly use dash strike attacks with sword.

Single dash gets you extra damage, sometimes damage is weak in runs and that extra always helps, you can always get an extra dash with a few rolls

Is the infinite death defiance from a MOD?

boy im the first one

Damn that build sukkkkkkd
