Zeus is so fun……. Id love a full zeus build. Attack, special, fire, demeter jolt, artemis Cast bolt. Dash bolt ohhhhhhhhh. Its like a rave with rama bow special lol
I actually did a few dash only runs lately! They're crazy fun if you pop off. I had one where I went splash dash and got stacked poseidon and zeus boons with sea storm. It was honestly an easier clear than some of my other serious runs 😭
- three bloodstones - Flood Shot, level it to 3 or 4 - Tidal or Thunder Dash - Shoals and Jolted - roll for Sea Storm - Hermes buffs to the Dash and Cast - Artemis buffs if available - get as many of the various boons which buff lightning and knock-away The recipie for fast, easy runs.
I remember that one time I got a shit built early in the game, my attacks literally did no damage and a simple chamber would take me like 3-5 minutes to beat. But in Elysium I got a streak of 2 zeus dash charms and 2 Hermes dash charms and I was disgusted by how quickly I began clearing chambers just by dashing. Easiest Hades run of my life.
PP vs. Dash poms: PP is good because it has a chance to crit on ANY damage you do...but in this run we're only doing dash lightning damage. So looking at the PP first, you are getting a +1% per pom chance to do 200% damage. Multiplying the odds by the effect (0.01*2 = 0.02) you are increasing your damage by 2%. The dash base damage doesn't have to improve by much to beat 2%, so in one instance dash going from 38 to 41 would be about an 8% increase in damage. If this were a regular run and you were doing all kinds of damage the case for PP would be much stronger but not so much when it is only really affecting one type of damage.
as far as i can tell PP also affects legendary bolts, heavens vengeance, lightning reflexes, and jolted damage, and each additional pom has the exact same scaling increasing 1% each time. In addition a proc of PP also applies hunters mark which is basically a guaranteed crit, often more than 1. PP had a much larger reward for continuing to pom than the dash did once he got the dash to a good level. just look at the damage numbers in both styx and especially the hades fight. all those "919!" damage numbers in the hades fight were from heavens vengeance critting, not to mention all the tons of smaller crits that add up. PP combined with hunters mark put in serious work here
PP doesn't mean EVERYTHING crits, chain lightning can't crit for example. And it's not 200% damage, a crit is +200% damage, which is 100 (base) +200%=300% damage
19:10 “Haelian is the Hellen Keller of sex” it is currently 3:37am and I don’t know what the FUCK this is even supposed to mean but it makes so much sense
Love this. I mentioned a few videos back my success with the same build. Gilgamesh with Zeus dash is Op. I feel even high voltage is a great boon for the dash. Makes it absolutely huge. P.s. how do you feel about the mod that renews god keepsakes for each biome. so you can be guaranteed to see the desired god at least once per biome. Sounds like something I wish was natively part of the game. So frustrating to plan an Arty build, and only get the one starting boon, never to see her again for that run. For example. And especially for a Zeus build, Zeus is downright bad with only one or two boons in most cases, and completely insane with say, double strike, jolted and splitting bolt supplementing the tier one boon.
I was doing a seastorm chiron run last night and around Elysium I realized I much preferred to just let my Zeus dash kill everything. Felt very gratifying harassing those shield bastards.
I did a dio chiron bow run yesterday in hell mode. Picked up Zeus dash to fill out the fated list. Ended up killing Hades with dash only after getting 7 other Zeus boons including the lego and a level 7 high voltage for thick bolts. It was so powerful I couldn't believe how quickly Hades melted. I think this was the 2nd time I ever picked up the Zeus dash cause I always thought it was bad. Not anymore.
I tried the Zeus Dash only Gilgamesh build cuz of this video. It was a slow start until I got double strike, jolted and Hermes sturdy etc. So much fun!
Imagine Zagreus in Smash. You’d get to pick one of several God’s boons before each stock, which gives you buffs and modifies your specials. The catch is that once you pick a god, you’re stuck with them and can’t switch until you lose a stock, just like in Hades where, while you have some choice, you’re more or less stuck with the boons that you get until you die.
Best dash build ive got so far was an +3 dash hermes boon, Ares vortex dashes and some boons that buffed the vortex. I was originally going for an cast build, but hermes and chaos would not give me their cast buffs, however, Hermes gave me the +3 dashes, and then Ares appeared with his dash, after that i actually speed runned through the game, prob my easiest Hades kill so far
Hey, uhh, I’ve got a suggestion for a fun run. Rush kick plus quake cutter:not only does it reduce the time for zag to land on the ground, but you can actually chase/harass enemies without accidentally doing a dash-upper
It requires major rng on room spawns. Some rooms have paused time, and some rooms you can just skip like shop. I’m also pretty sure that Thanatos pauses time when you do the contest with him. Mixed with good movement and nice dps, you can get a very fast time
When you know the mechanic and get used to pause and skip chamber like choosing chaos, mid-shop or ! room it will become fast IGT naturally. Also Erebus can make you slower if you want the reward because you have to be careful. Heat choices matter too like more enemies and more HP enemies can make you slower on time. First few days I struggle just to get sub 20 now if I can’t get sub 20 it’s slow. I still can’t get sub 10 though by best is 11.
Oh I also forgot. Most speed runs have the runner have extreme measures 2 to have a smaller Lernie aka Bone Hydra arena so you can kill the smaller hydras quicker. They also have the heat that makes enemies move 40% faster and attack 40% faster, therefore making it faster for you to kill them. Some people also use tight deadline for the memes, but it doesn’t make any difference cause it’s so fast they don’t need it.
yeah i thought lightning bolts were always supposed to crit.. guess it wasn't working huh. well, i have another question in that case. Does dot damage crit? like, does PP work with dio, beams, slicing shot, etc? it should work right? i always thought it did, but i'm not sure anymore.
Is Gilgamesh actually that much better for a dash build than zag fist maxed out? You can always try to get extra dashes from Hermes, and you take a lot of damage which dodge chance can help
I just had one of these today's I didn't even need other boons. I got the zues dash epic and the legendary boon before the furies. Got Athena attack on the fists and I must say I haven't finished a run in under 20 mins before but it felt fast 😂
You caught me off guard with your video ending, you seem like a genuine good person, I hope one day you'll find true happiness and meaning to your life, thanks for the entertainment.
10:22 i want that keepsake mod, i have hades on epic games and i looked at mod manager and they dont have keepsake mod. Really cool looking mod you have there. That chibi keepsake avatars are great.
If I were to try this myself, I would probably go for posiden dash and get a different core slot on zeus and hope for sea storm. that way I could potentially get razor shoals+jolted for priveldged status
"Grant me the aspect of Sonic"
You unlock it by shouting "Gonna go fast" at skelly
Zeus is so fun……. Id love a full zeus build. Attack, special, fire, demeter jolt, artemis Cast bolt. Dash bolt ohhhhhhhhh. Its like a rave with rama bow special lol
Gotta go fast.

Splashy Dash into Sea Storm is in no way "not serious" tbh. In fact, that's probably the latest thing devs have nerfed in this game.
@@Annokh Agreed. Tidal Dash + Sea Storm is a great combo if you want to speedrun
- three bloodstones
- Flood Shot, level it to 3 or 4
- Tidal or Thunder Dash
- Shoals and Jolted
- roll for Sea Storm
- Hermes buffs to the Dash and Cast
- Artemis buffs if available
- get as many of the various boons which buff lightning and knock-away
The recipie for fast, easy runs.
Ya'll do serious runs????
The little smile as he sees chat reacting to that scuffed pronunciation of protagonist lmao
he had to have done it on purpose
"Girth is my bang" killed me XD
I remember that one time I got a shit built early in the game, my attacks literally did no damage and a simple chamber would take me like 3-5 minutes to beat.

"I have Meg, but whatever. We'll kill them the hard way."
Haelian, sir. In this context it should be "The painful way"!
me: haelian do a gilga zeus dash stack run
haelian: um no
haelian:
Never expected a cleaning service sir haelian

i wouldn't have seen that if not for this comment. Thank you good sir, kind sir.
This is truly better than all the marvel post credit scenes

You become a disciple of Zeus for one run and suddenly you're putting out
"girth is my bang"

the outro catches me off guard every single time

I've managed to beat em4 hades just once and you're beating the pants off him doing a dash only run lol
Lol that's what happens if you get every Zeus boon
Hey a dash only run. That's nice
Artemis dash!
Artemis dash!

Hi, does anyone know if lightning bolts can crit now on Switch too, or was there only a change on PC? Thx!
Consoles are usually slower on patches I believe.
I was pretty sure I was getting crits the other day but maybe not...
The update is not live on Switch yet, I believe that console is now two updates behind?
This is no son of Hades, this is son of Zeus !
That end stinger for the stream is... uhhh. Huh....
I didn't expect it. That's for sure.
Hated poseidons boons till i started using his dash, so op
Do a high voltage run where you make the thiccest bolts possible
Alex imagine the scorch marks on the floor with like 300% area increase lol
Hey, uhh, I’ve got a suggestion for a fun run. Rush kick plus quake cutter:not only does it reduce the time for zag to land on the ground, but you can actually chase/harass enemies without accidentally doing a dash-upper
i did one of these but with splash dash i was suprised by how valid it was
big fan of that outro. oh the run was ok too i guess
How is your fastest time with the fists 7 minutes? I cant get lower than 15 mins on any weapon
He is a speedrunner of the game. He can go pretty fast when he’s trying to ;)

@@Zenith_682 using tight deadline is actually bad, because you cant get survival room with it, and timer stops in survival
Did the switch version receive the uüdate as well?

Yes, DoT damage can crit.
who’s gonna tell him about the term banger
just go for it, full south park... finger bang bang!
What a run! Great content
Why do I loose abilities when I beat a boss and ascend up a level?
I've just thought of something, stacking hyper delivery on top of this lol
The build is dope, with regards to Skul the devs plan to revamp the dark quartz system which IMO would hugely improve the gameplay loop
“Girth is my bang”
Should have gone for all chambers to side hustle and get more dashes from Hermes!
Is Gilgamesh actually that much better for a dash build than zag fist maxed out? You can always try to get extra dashes from Hermes, and you take a lot of damage which dodge chance can help
Ruthless Reflex man...

hello humid paternal figure
Artemis help a lot...
Does artemis' dash strike boon affect zeus thunder dash?
Artemis dash strike boon is a dash so you can't have zeus's or any other dashes while having it
What an insane run by an insane man.
how did he get Zeus boon at the start while starting with pom-blossom and not the Zeus keepsake?
Random boon?
@@tumultuousv Guess I remembered receiving only deadalus hammer at the start when not taking a god keepsake
Dan plays Hades without playing Hades
This run was Tart and Tasty
that outro caught me offguard
yeah but if Zeus now can crit, where's the lucifer zeus run? pog
Sorry, I'm sure this is a stupid question but, how did you have 3 dashes as the start?
Aspect of gilgamesh
That outfit doe... going to twitch rn
I did almost this exact run with tidal dash this week lol
🙏The big lightning PP🙏
SO MUCH ZEUS
man i always tend to waste all my acorn charges to the adds, especially if he spawns sneaks or doomstones.. it's such a waste D:
Skelly has you covered. Zag has many friends, each with a niche of their own.
I was expecting the build to be bad, lmao
and the ares dash build which should be good is the bad one actually. The damage sucks.
@@n317 it's not that bad actually. I did a 10:29 with blade dash only
Miss Granny Duo boon.
And then along came Zeus
Zeus mostly only is very OP. So much quicker then any of the Weapons.
You caught me off guard with your video ending, you seem like a genuine good person, I hope one day you'll find true happiness and meaning to your life, thanks for the entertainment.
Can anyone explain why he has chosen Gilgamesh for this run?
+2 dash count.
Imagine 7dashes
Around 27:01 and beyond what js the 💀 game they are talking about? Someone please enlighten me in what game they are speaking about
why does it work?
hey dad !
10:22 i want that keepsake mod, i have hades on epic games and i looked at mod manager and they dont have keepsake mod. Really cool looking mod you have there. That chibi keepsake avatars are great.
Its not a mod, the little avatars in the corner of the keepsakes are from when you become close with that character.
If I were to try this myself, I would probably go for posiden dash and get a different core slot on zeus and hope for sea storm. that way I could potentially get razor shoals+jolted for priveldged status
dont cheat by going back to check: which weapon did he use?
Pro-tih-gone-ist..... 🤦♂️
This run is zus
lesbians in dad's channel getting out of control
im sorry why did he pronounce protagonist like that??????????????
Guh

Wow im early
first
Can't wait to try a legit dash run.
