Hades player beats unmodded 64 Heat difficulty run - "arguably unachievable in thousands of hours"
Hades player beats unmodded 64 Heat difficulty run - "arguably unachievable in thousands of hours"
This Hades player has accomplished what no one could in three years
Haelian published a video a week or so ago setting out the probabilities for why it was so unlikely that this difficulty configuration would ever be beat: https://youtu.be/S-VUzcJHWF0
Which of course was taken as a challenge, with runner Jade clearing heat 64 yesterday, using an unseeded and unmodded run: https://youtu.be/0mo-kXjasZs
(For context, the seed is the way a particular run is generated, and players can meticulously generate seeded runs to ensure certain things do or don't spawn by taking very specific sets of actions. Dying and respawning - rather then reloading from the menu, which is quicker - resets the seed. That's why challenge runs always start with a death and respawn to show that a pre-configured seed isn't being carried over from previous runs.)
Here's Haelian's reaction to the whole situation: https://youtu.be/5L7_3MrG_08
Insanely impressive, and I don't know if we'll get to see it again.
Website has a link to a Reddit post which is just a link to YouTube. How many jumps did I need to make to watch the video at the source?😂
Aren't all the videos linked directly from OP's post?
Yeah, OP's videos in the posts were the exact ones I would have linked. Go watch those.
Haelian's reaction is more informative than just being an average reaction video, because he describes the decision making in the choices Angel1c made.
I think he was just criticizing the journal website not op
Brb, gonna play hades and then watch them all in order to understand everything that's going on
And then he never returned as for he was forever trapped in an infinite loop of rogue-like gaming....
Farewell stranger, may the RNG be good to you...
See you in 200 hours, enjoy!
Also, if you're playing for the first time maybe don't watch those videos until you've completed at least one run for spoiler reasons.
Bouldy believes in you!
It's important to understand that Angel1c (Jade) and Baj were the only two players with the skill level who could have possibly had a chance to beat unmodded, unseeded 64 heat. They already beat 64 heat runs with mods or seeds, so it was a matter of getting that insanely luck RNG to reach the goal.
God damn that's an insane run
Those last few seconds were absolutely hair-raising, even if we already knew how it was going to end!
Yeah I watched it on Haelian's stream and he was so anxious in the third phase even though he knew how it was gonna turn out. That fight was absolutely wild.
They got really lucky with that Zeus special boon at the beginning.
Jesus, Jade makes it look so easy.
I'd be dead within a minute at most.
Absolutely nuts!
