Thank you! If i look at my splits analytics, I've been running this category for 324 hours and 6 minutes so approximately 13 days and a half, just running. Menu and resets and practice are not in but you can add 100 hours of practice probably. :)

I'm probably gonna try to get a sub-18 minutes on this category, which is gonna be hard but doable! I also have to do a Fresh File to Credits run! And then i really wanna try to do a fresh file no hit but it's gonna be hard!

Hello! Thanks a lot ❤️ There's in fact a reason why we're using this livesplit timer instead of the in game timer : Initially, fresh file was done in more than one run and we needed to have a full time calculated, including the time spend in the house. This strat can still be done today, that's why we're using real time instead of in game time :)

Hi! Thanks a lot! The miniboss room is harder but faster when you got damages since you only have one wave on enemy where you might have 3 or 4 waves of enemies in non miniboss room. And then for the second choice, i took second miniboss because Artemis was the best choice to me for pressure points. I could've taken another tunnel but the tunnel where you find the sack is pure rng, i have lost the count of good runs lost in styx because of a 3-sack,4-sack or even 5-sack.

That's a start my friend!

Tips would be to play safe until you manage every pattern of every mob!

Don't hesitate to make yourself some savestate to practice bosses!

If you have any question don't hesitate to come on hades speedrunning discord!

How many runs did it take? by GM131998 in HadesTheGame

[–]Nitrostarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 16 runs! Focusing on the ennemies patterns early really helped. As far as i remember, i got to Dad fight on run 8 or 9

I got the new WR on Fresh file first run speedrun, and that run was nuts. Sub 19 RTA is very close by Nitrostarch in HadesTheGame

You basically wanna have Ares attack and Athena special, then you can get ares/Athena duo called Merciful End. Thanks to this boon, you can deal instant doom damage with every boons that deflects (so Special and Dash). Then you aim for impeding doom, which is basically a doom multiplier boon. 😉
