So dissapointed you didnt play on cinder 500 while blindfolded and telepathically controlling the game with your brain waves while you were in a different continent.

This man really saw one item that said "jump through these hoops to make a weapon you don't have better" and then dedicated his life to getting a level 4 cold weapon. Never change haha.

Man that ending kept me at the edge of my seat. 10/10 episode. The game winning decision to re-equip the emblem too was just perfect.

Hey man, play on whatever cinder you feel comfortable with. So long as you’re having fun and dishing out new content I won’t complain.

48:33 *"But I- I really do like when I- when I can hit somebody and uh.. it just kills them(?). It's a very enjoyable situation."* Oil-axe-uh, 2024

"Why are you so big my guy" that's what I ask my homies at the gym

When you open up a gift box, they sometimes drop items, and those items can hide under santa. I'd recommend stepping away from santa to open the box, or running around him to see if the items pop up. I also think that your burn aura applied the cold damage bonus from your accessory.

best perk in the game imo is the one that makes every blacksmith able to upgrade to level 4. btw absolutely clutch finish haha.

Chill runs with no cinder are welcome breaks from cinder madness.

you can make regular blacksmith upgrade any weapon to level 4 using mastery point

I'm so happy you forced a cold run in this episode, I've never seen anyone do it before. :D

It's 23:27 now, Olexa. Thanks for making me remember to drink water.

This was so tense i could not sleep

I loved it! Also, play with what you're comfortable with my guy! Also you've inspired me to force a poison run due to your dedication to a cold run.

You were finding stuff in the tavern because of santa. Bombs and keys autocollect but consumable items have to be picked up

Woo, I was sweating at those last few moments. Fantastic job =)

You got 3 follow up crits at the end,pretty Lucky haha

You have to play the upgrade you get from beating Bandit, Pirate can throw up some DMG like BAM and once you know what you are doing (which can vary for each stat) he goes insano mode.

I usually sit at Cinder level 8. I think you should *TRY* a single run on Cinder 16. There's an achievement for it too. But the sweetspot for fun and difficulty is around Cinder 6-9-ish imo. Nice.

It took me a bunch of resets for good RNG and slight soul scarf abuse to beat cinder 16. It's just for a steam achievement. Up to you if it's worth the grind. I personally don't think so since it's not as fun.

I've only fought amon once, and i was so OP i never saw that second phase attack. I'm horrified 😂

Remember that a lot of weapons change their attack speed/distance based upon how far away the mouse is from you

I like cold build since it have up to 3 different debuff which is slow, frostbite and snowbrand.

Great video olexa

Phoenix Feather came in clutch.

Books bleed, because the ink bleeds.

If it’s more enjoyable, you should play on a lower cinder! Try-hards are gonna nitpick, no matter what.

Olenky, there is upgrade at firepit on the right that allow smith to upgrade Your weapon to 4th lvl 😁

Can my boy Olexa get some likes. Homie def deserves it

To the games credit I haven't found any of the elements to be unplayable. They all do different things but those things do function well for the most part.

Honestly, you shouldn't feel the need to keep Cinder level high to appease some members of your audience. Another streamer I watch occasionally is more than capable of doing near-max Heat runs in Hades but he usually does low-mid Heat runs instead and his audience doesn't give him shit for that.

Tiamat is a dragon. she is queen of the evil dragons in DnD or something if i recall correctly.

What a final fight

Do cinder down. Enable only fun ones like new enchants and automaton big boyo

This vid ab to hit with my breakfast 🔥

well played!!!

Tyler you are playing sooooo nice keep up. Love the runs

I just recently finished beating the game with every character, and have taken alacrity on almost every dex run that I've done, without realising that it was bugged.

I found from watching another guy play this game that on the lower floors (not sure which specifically) some blacksmiths can upgrade a weapon to +4. so your aversion to ranged weapons because its hard to get them to +4 is slightly unwarranted (might be something from the skill tree though?)

there is an only aura run?

hey i second the comments of you going to lower cinder if that's what is fun for you but whenever you can, you should absolutely do a cinder 16 episode, It would be a great olexa video, even if it's a 20/30 min episode !

Everyone saying Tylor is not good and alll but man... I would like to see you trying those doges in the last boss fight x)

You can get things to lvl 4 or higher like bows, its just harder to do so

Fricked up and on high

Yessssssss

13:55 tiger WHAT

Dex is pretty busted in the beta. It’s always been good but a lot more consistent now. My favorite combo is starting with Poison Jar, getting all the infusions and forcing the game to give me Harmony for 50% attack speed on elemental hit.

The game feels like it's built to be played casually at the 9-10 cinder range. You can pick one or two moderately annoying ones, take all the easily-mitigated or ignorable ones, and dodge the truly obnoxious ones like 'can't see your first traits'. You'll win more often than not at that level as long as you can survive till the background algorithm throws you whatever your build is missing to take off. Above that, the average player will probably have a sub-50% win-rate just because if you get a weak start with bad early weapons/traits, you won't survive long enough to level out. Obviously there are a certain type of player out there who insists 16 cinder is the only way to play, and more power to them - but I play games like Isaac and Tiny Rogues for the fun and hilarious builds, not to hone my skills in preparation for an apocalypse where I can only obtain water and food by playing Fromsoft games naked. If they did tweak cinders, I'd want two things - remove the blind-trait cinder for something with more player agency, and add a small scaling multiplier per cinder - perhaps 3% more HP per cinder on all mobs and twice that on bosses? So at 16 cinders bosses would have almost double durability, sure, but on an average run they wouldn't instantly die because any run strong enough to get to floor 12 will flatten everything there (as it seems currently). Oh, and I still love all your videos and this is my favorite series from you in a while. It's a good match for your style of narration and analysis!

That Meteor enchantment (and the similar battery one) just... don't work, with some of the endgame boss patterns. Especially, as you saw, the one that disables your ability to dash. Probably needs some minor modifications for balance purposes, if the dev wants damage to be 'fair' in all cases.

It is the first time ever I got to write the first comment!!! Thank you for the video!

honestly.. crazy random runs > higher cinder level.

You should remove the automatons and boss enchantments

No shame in turning down, or even off completely, the Cinder levels. Mastery 30 will happen soon enoough even without it.

real

Wow, edge seat florp face nice bro holy fup

how is the alacrity skill buged?

Skill issue did not lower the cinder level because of how he this be will react

Comments, do any of you know id you can check why things get not very effective or super effective runs?

5 seconds in, I just know you’re going to miss a secret room 🥹❤️
