This guy took Trials twice, took Side Hustle over Hyper Sprint, and even took Exit Wound over PP (after repeatedly saying it was bad) . Is he the real Haelian or a doppelganger?
Thoughts from the LOTR discussion: you’re thinking of Denethor (you were pretty close). Also the concept of having a “cutscene” in a movie is really funny. Lastly, super impressive that you managed to never mention Legolas during your bow run
With 3 casts, +1 cast is 4/3 damage, so it’s a 33% damage bonus. This diminishes, with it being a 25% bonus (5/4 damage) with 4 casts and 20% (6/5 damage) with 5 casts, so it’s effectively always worse than +Cast damage unless using Stygian Soul, where it’s an 100% damage boost then 50%. The only advantage of extra casts without Stygian Soul is extra flexibility in where to distribute the damage between enemies by splitting how many casts are shot in each way, but it’s also just a lot funnier to have a ton of casts than a ton of cast damage imo. EDIT: In terms of Fully Loaded, it’s a 3/1 = 300%, so +200% damage bonus with one cast (base Stygian Soul without Chaos) with, and 5/3=166%, so +66% damage bonus with 3 casts (base Infernal Soul without Chaos). It’s ((New No. Casts/Old No. Casts) - 1)*100 to get the percentage bonus for any specific addition of casts, for future reference.
@@swagdillydopa578 since the crit damage calculation is multiplicative with the damage increase by number of casts, crits will not change the conclusion. It will be somthing like: (No. of casts)×(Average Crit damage)
I love how True Shot and Support Fire fills the screen with green silly sparkly arrows but I also love Crush Shot's sound effect and explosive damage this game is great overall no matter what choice you make
RTA originates from racing games and irl racing. The objective is that a group of competitors compete against each other to score the fastest lap. IIRC Time attack is a real motorsport, originating in Japan and differs from Time trial events with the rules and formats they have. Nowadays you can say RTA stands for real time attempt if you want a little Crystal Clarity on the name.
technically, maimed shot is a better deal (from Chaos) because you only have 3 casts, so an *extra* is +33.3%, but the 1st one was giving you +36% damage this is just me doing math, I don't know the game mechanics that well, so I dunno about extra crit chance or other boons being proc'd or whatever, this is just math :P
Hi haelian, twin shot vs triple shot hammer? What's the verdict and does it matter which bow you are using or what type of run you are doing (cast vs attack)
I think Haelian tends to take triple shot over a lot of other bow hammers. Seemed weird to me at first, but he has a speedrunner mentality, which means throwing yourself into the midst of the enemies and going crazy with dash-strikes rather than camping them out. If you have enemies on all sides, triple shot is pretty good for crowd control even when you're focusing on one enemy, whereas I think twin shot only really helps with single targets. (Take this with a grain of salt because I don't play Hades, I just watch a lot of it.)
To me, it depends on the bow. (Disclamer: I’m no pro, just someone who is giving a little insight from their own runs) For Zag either one works fine, it just comes down to preference since the special works just fine for spread damage. With Chiron, you almost always want twin shot since (not 100% sure) your outward arrows might lock your special on the wrong enemy. For Hera, I’m pretty sure triple is better since all your arrows get empowered by the cast even though only the middle one lodges the cast. For Rama you always want to go triple shot since the arrow’s aoe is just so much bigger making point blank shots easier and you can chunk without an attack boon with damage that rivals Mirage shot Beowulf.
It doesn’t give money, so there’s no reason to collect it since waiting to grab it in speedruns actually wastes a bit of time, because they time it by irl clock and not the ingame clock
Darkness rewards from bosses give max life but gems dont drop coins like chamber rewards do so there is no practical reason to grab them once you buy everything you need from the contractor and dont need trades with the broker.
I have a random question because I'm a nerd. Would you be interested in doing a video on the numbers of Hades? Things like the chances of Hammer and Hermes rooms, Miniboss spawn possibilities, and actual drop rates of boons.
For exit wounds to actually do damage you need that hermes boon that makes enemies drop blood faster and it needs to be epic. So not really worth going after.

A trials when you don’t want posideon versus poming the cast? I’m worrying about him now
Even the most hard-boiled speedrunners get tired of the meta once in a while

The best combo is arty legendary and cast dmg bonus from chaos lol
What about accounting for crits
Dont forget he has mirage shot!

@@GardenBoatsame goes to Mirage Shot which can be seen as a 130% multiplier after No. of casts. (Read reply above)

"Were you not listening? There was a whole battle..." jeez, that got a laugh
I love that you still upload Hades stuff
this was such an entertaining run and lotr rambling... haha. nice. of course now inshall attempt this built too

I’ve also heard multiple speed runners say that RTA stands for “run time actual.”
I think they should just agree that it stands for "real time a"
KEKW - just checking how it comes through in TH-cam comments
That commentary was top notch, mate.
I only really like exit wounds on Poseidon Sword. Any everything else it feels like a trap.
4:40 don't even remember the last time I cleared an Erebus.
ooh wow I'm early :D
true shot build is wild, it's such a strange cast :P

I really enjoyed this video throughout. ^_^
Perfect timing
24:05 "Hold on-" we'll continue our lord of the rings discussion video after this run or whatever
Ohhhh baby I just finished lunch and was hoping this was here
Just happened to be playing Return of the King on the PS2 with my mother, seems like there's a LOTR mood going around.

What was happening with Theseus call there? It looked like it was just going off on top of him over and over?
I'm guessing the invis from Hades Aid fucked with the tracking
hello haelian. is there a chance to see more content of god of weapons here? thanks in advance
why have the last few videos not been on stream? I really like you talking to twitch chat, it's mainly why i watch
Did a month long event on stream where we played a bunch of Souls game. Will be back soon.
why he doesn't take gems dropped from bosses? Is there a reason
It doesn’t give money, so there’s no reason to collect it since waiting to grab it in speedruns actually wastes a bit of time, because they time it by irl clock and not the ingame clock
All the reasons above, plus I think he said he just doesn’t need them anymore. That’s pretty much the only reason why I’ve stopped taking them too
Darkness rewards from bosses give max life but gems dont drop coins like chamber rewards do so there is no practical reason to grab them once you buy everything you need from the contractor and dont need trades with the broker.
No chat?
