How Speedrunners Beat Hades in Under 3 Minutes By Conquering RNG
If you've played Hades you know that no run is the same, but speedrunners actually want the game to be as consistent as possible. Join us today as we explore how RNG works in Hades, how speedrunners manipulate it, and see just how low the record can go.

I believe that the probability(1/2.95E-68) is written incorrectly, since 1/2.95E-68 is larger than 1. Therefore the correct probability should probably be either 2.95E-68 or 1/2.95E+68
@@biratuba it's 99% written incorrectly, blame Google sheets, that's where I did the math
@@Abyssoft Given the type of error, my guess is that the math is correct, but the result was interpreted as odds instead of probability(on is the inverse of the other).

“The Adamant Rail is the most historically accurate.” Took me a second.
Would you be able to explain the joke to my friend? He doesn't understand it. I totally get it, but he doesn't like my explanation.
@@snakeatwar Just the purest of sarcasm, dude.
@@snakeatwar Extreme sarcasm. It’s the gun weapon. It’s not historically accurate at.
@@sunstonespice Of course! That's what I told my friend but he thought there was something deeper to the joke.
@@sunstonespice what do you mean it is not historically accurate? do you not remember that poem where zeus pulls a railgun out of hefestus buttcheeks to blast off thyphon? it's my favorite D:
12:30 for those of you who want to understand how small that number is, just think of the number 4, and think “oh shit it’s way lower than that.”
We can hear it on our own. No need to quote it? Somehow braindead?
Actually, due to a type that number is actually way bigger than 4. It should be E68 and not E-68 So that number is like, at least bigger than 7
uhh... can you explain that in shinies?
Like, in this notation, 1 is equal to 1E0. As the number after E increases, it represents the exponent in 1x10^n. Therefore, 1/1E-68 is equal to the division of 1 by an exceedingly small number. The division represents the same value as 1E68. A shiny digimon has a 1/4.096E3 chance of occurring in the new games, but the chances are halved in the older games.
@@MellowNova its a bit lower than getting a shiny 19 times in a row with 1/4096 shiny odds
6:14 feel it's worth pointing out here, that 75% extra damage isn't _just_ on your special. It applies to literally all your damage IIRC, which is made especially absurd by the fact that it's one of the only aspects on any weapon that do this. Nearly every other aspect specifically increases attack, special and/or cast damage, leaving out a lot of extra damage sources you can get from boons.
You would be mostly correct. Most other weapons hit only 1-2 damage types (usually attack/cast or attack/special). Bow hidden *technically* hits all damage types but deals it only to the debuffed enemies instead of to all enemies
@@UHavABadConnection they are entirely correct, they said nearly every other aspect.
One little detail, you got the abyssoft constant wrong: if you put a minus in the exponent of the denominator, you are actually getting a number higher than 1 (which doesn't make sense as a probability, you are writing something like 1/0,0001) Therefore, either it is 1/2,95E+68; or 2,95E-68 is the result of the division, not its denominator
Thats what is was wondering, i am pretty sure he meant it as seprate numbers (1/2.95)×10^(-67) (Which is 1/2.95E+68) Which is 3.3898/10(67)
At 3:48, the math you show is very wrong. The idea in the voiceover is correct, but you can't multiply 5% by 5% and get 25%. What you're actually multiplying is 1.05 and 1.05, which only gives 1.1025, barely different from adding them together. A better example would have been adding two instances of +100% (yielding [1 + 1 + 1] = 3x damage) and multiplying two instances of +100% (yielding [1 + 1] * [1 + 1] = 4x damage).
as a Math teacher, I came to the comments to say exactly this. The scientific notation at 12:14 is also wrong, since E-68 represents a negative power of 10, which makes the denominator a very small number and, therefore, the fraction is huge.
As an engineer, I came to the comments section, to say exactly that thing about the exponential number. :-D Thanks Francisco
Am I just stupid or would 5%×5% give less? If we write that in another way we get 1/20×1/20, which gives 1/400, or 0,025%. But I don't think I ever multiplied percentages so there is probably some math rule which says I have to do it your way.
@@landerdepoorter2824 You are correct regarding the 5% * 5% equaling 0.025%. BUT: In this case, it's not 5%, it's +5%. So if we have +5%, then we actually talk about 105% (the base value is always 100% and we want 5% more). Therefore, just as Caliburn said, we have +5% * +5% = 1.05 * 1.05 = 1.1025 which shows us that it would be +10.25% in the end.

To put that number into perspective, the current best estimate of the number of atoms in the observable universe is 10^78 to 10^82. The likelihood of you getting the world record RNG for this game without any kind of manipulation or seeding is only 10 billion to 100 trillion times more likely than you randomly picking out one specific atom in the universe via RNG; which might sound like it's a lot more likely, but compared to the scale of the numbers we're talking about, the odds are virtually identical.

The cluster-rocket special is insanely powerful. I used Artemis with it and use it like a shotgun, fire it at close range. The crit and damage is astounding.

@@kenmoretoast but it's stupid fun 😁
@@SuchIsLife424 it absolutely is!
we love clockets :DD I personally like putting Aphrodite on special, then grab pressure points and hunters mark so that those can crit. I've cleared Styx room in one button press because of this, it's broken Lol
Couple of things left out (for those finding this vid now that Hades II has been announced): 1. Routed is one of the least popular categories. People usually start running one of the many non-routed categories. There are a ton of them. There are even official modded categories to reduce the number of resets and rng. (E.g. The number of Styx paths becomes fixed so you don't lose a good run at the very end.) 2. The key to any routed run is actually getting the right room tiles. You want to have the minimum number of combat encounters since the in-game timer only runs for those rooms. This means you hit all the story rooms, all the shops, all the fountains, and as many chaos rooms as possible. The bottle neck for finding a seed is the first well in Tartarus where you have to get an item that makes chaos spawn in the next eligible room, then you reroll the well to refill it with new items and buy another chaos room. So you have to find one specific tile, at one specific room number, and with a well that has exactly those items. If you find a seed that lets you do that, the rest of the routing is comparatively easy since there will be multiple ways to get everything else that are roughly equally fast. But getting that one specific combination is the needle in the haystack. (If anyone is interest in this stuff, the discord is super welcoming and helpful).
This is all really cool, thanks for sharing! If anything this reminds me the sheer amount of content they put in Hades, and it's amazing that you're able to sift through all that stuff to find the most optimal combinations.
What Discord is that ? I'd love to join !
1 / 2.95E-68 is bigger than one, I think you just mean 2.95E-68
Agree with that
"one in this number", maybe they did mean "1 in 1/2.95E-68"; though I agree it's an odd way to say/show it visually; it's something like a 2.95E68 magnitude difference, isn't it? Either way, one is astronomically large and unfathomable, the other is beyond astronomically large and unfathomable
Or maybe they meant 3.39e-69 = 1/(2.95e68), regardless, it's the kind of number that's unattainable without RNG manipulation.
@@Aidiakapi I don't know how you got this number but it's absolutely wrong. By definition 1/e-1 = e1 That means 1/2.95e-68 = 2.95e68 Also what was probably meant was the opposite as 2.95e68 is a comically big number and obviously bigger than 1(being 100% chance). So it should be 1/2.95e68 (=2.95e-68) and it's a ridiculously small number. To put it in perspective the chances that Dream was not cheating on Minecraft and that he was just hella lucky is the size of the solar system if this 2.95e-68 was the size of a grain of rice, maybe even more than that
@@raphael122 I can tell you how they got this number: sure, 1/1e-69 is 1e69, but this 3.39e-69, which is 3.39 * 1e-69, so its inverse 1/(3,39e-69) will be 1/(3.39) * 1e69 = 0.295 * 1e69 = 2.95e68 Hope this made sense!
12:28, I have a feeling you have added a stray negative sign in these numbers. e# just stands for •10^(#), so 1/2.95E-68 would be an insanely large number. Just another example 1/2E3 is 1/2000, which is a 0.05% chance, but 1/2E-3 is 1/0.002, which is a 50000% chance
I am so happy someone else saw that
Well, since 1/x is inverse the 1st number, that'd be 2.95E68, but still. We are searching for E68 at the bottom.
The E means exponent 1.23E456 means 1 and roughly 456 zeros after it So 2.95E68 means roughly 3 and 68 zeroes (and as noted in other comments, either write 1:positive E, 1/positive E, or negative E without division) To give some scale to the number Consider picking 6 of 49 lottery with odds 1 in 13,983,816 this a measly 1E7 to win usually ~ milions $ 2.95E68 is like winning roughly ten, hi prize lotteries, in a row, each on a single guess with that much luck you can just be a milionare by going out of the house and tripping over a bag with millions of dollars :)

Basically, getting perfect RNG in an unseeded run would be the equivalent of randomly hiding a single atom within the first 95% of the entire observable universe, and blindly choosing the correct atom on your first try. speedrunners: *finally a worthy opponent.*
THE EDITING IS SO GOOD
Great research ! I have been playing hades for a while and i have never found any pattern (im not really looking but some things just pop out sometimes) The only thing i have realized is that if you start with one god boon the same god will keep appearing. Maybe this is just coincidence.
great video invested whole way through
I saw that summoning salt reference. You are very cheeky.
I like how the idea of speedrunning is to do the game fast. But it takes ages to accomplish
Wait so you have a 2.95e70% chance of getting the right RNG? usually it caps at 100% but I like those odds.
never tell me the odds
I'm barely into the video and I've already looked at the comments and most of them are correcting your errors in the video. I'm not even bothering to continue the video. Thanks for compiling it.
My guess is that the weapon boons stack out of order, meaning the one is designed to lower your base weapon damage, but it gets offset by the rockets, which the mechanics don't apply the -30% to. Otherwise, idk, maybe hidden bonuses for combinations or something?
Maybe because damage of rockets is really fixed

The fact the unseeded run is only 3 minutes longer is far more spectacular in my opinion. Like how is that not considered a perfect run?!?! 😲
I mean, the seeded run is also under 3 minutes so 3minutes is a big difference. But yeah 5:50 is also a crazy good time. My best time is 10:30 with the fist and overall I get times around 11min with every weapon (except spear where I haven't been able to do better than 14:00) and those are like, actually pretty ok, like, I've got 250hours into the game I've beaten 32 heat I'm fairly decent at the game. So yeah cutting 5 minutes from that is pretty darn impressive. (and bear in mind I've given my best time but a less perfect and more relaxed run can last about half an hour, 10 minutes is allready like, getting all the right boons and having a crazy run where everything melts) It's legit hard to wrap my head around a 3 minute run. I'm not even out of tartarus at this point typically lol
Assuming you actually meant that the odds are 2.95E-68 (which itself is microscopic, not its reciprocal) then it is approximately 29½ duovigintillionths.
Google sheets gave me the wrong scientific notation, my out of practice mathematical mind just copied the number into After Effects
@@Abyssoft No problem. If you find the correct number, I can provide its name in arcane naming conventions. :-)
@@DavidWonn The number is correct, I've been getting a lot of comments about the notation being incorrect, which is what I thought you were referring to as well. But yes, I did mean that the odds are 2.95E-68
For clarification to the 2.95E-68 being "lower" than 4.9E-34 at timestamp 12:23 the "E" stands for exponential. The number in the front is called the coefficient and the number after the E is called the exponent. So for example 10E5 means 10 times 10 to the power of 5, or 1000000 And if you put a minus sign before the exponent it's the same as saying 0.001% or saying it 1 in a thousand. Cool vid
Hades's RNG reminds me of how RNG works in TWWHD explained here-kzhead.info/sun/ZMysZJlph5h8rYk/bejne.html TL:DR static seed, everything increments the RNG call over the period of the game even the lights in a room is RNG based, you can roughly estimate where the RNG seed is at in a run given a couple of RNG calls you can find in this case a battleship board layout. Hades is similar in how you have to increment each RNG counter each time which makes it very tedious to run hades seeded runs since even voice lines are put into the RNG calls so that is why in seeded runs you continuously click a reroll button despite being out of attempts. I don't know if it can work for Hades but I'd love to see the RNG seed changed to a more static approach where all the calls are made off of the RNG seed alone and not how much it has progressed since it was created, numerous other games use this approach, Minecraft world generation and Slay the Spire are two examples, and I think could make running seeded Hades runs a lot more bearable. Also, new subscriber.
Welcome aboard, always happy to have such detailed comments from subscribers
That's it. Abyssoft Constant will now be in gaming history.
Nice vid well produced.
basicly they broke the game
Damn. I’ve never played Hades but this is a super interesting one.
Highly recommended game
I like the subtle sarcasm
Another heat speed runners use is tight deadline. They use this because it stops the hades “fight against the clock” rooms not spawn.
Love the Summoning Salt reference 👌
3:48 I know this is just for demonstration, but two multiplicative 5% buffs aren't 25%, they are 1.05x1.05 or 10.25%
3:48 No! That is not how percentage multiplication works! It should be 1.05 * 1.05 = 1.1025 = +10.25%
As for that number, the way it's read is: "One in two-hundred ninety five unvigintillion" Unvigin means 21. So where a million is one (6 zeroes), billion is two (9 zeroes), an unvigintillion is (21+1)*3 = 66 zeroes.
5:14 literally lol'd. Good delivery
As an interesting tidbit, the odds of shuffling a standard 52-card playing deck and getting a specific order is about 1.24 x 10^-68, so a perfect Hades run (by your estimate) is under half as likely as that.
Some people think rogue lites are about runs where you have to work with what you get. In reality end game you will usually get the build you want. It’s about cutting out that randomness.
So Hades is a more complex Binding of Isaac? Sounds really fun. Boutta get on gamepass
eh in a way i guess
They're both roguelikes, but that's about the end of the similarities
Hades has more of actual gameplay beyound pressign arrows to throw tears,
About the "constant" mentioned later in the video... it is said that in an average galaxy like ours there are roughly 2,4x10^67 particles. Hence, the "abyssoft constant" is a larger number than this by 1 magnitude therefore it equals to the number of particles in 10 average sized galaxies. It's "yuuuuuge".
2:14 that's wrong though, heroic boons don't appear randomly for the most part. except the main slot ones if you already have the epic version of another god boon. All the others have to be obtained through upgrading them (typically with eurydice). So you can exclude the heroic boons from that for the most part I'd say.
I definitely had to take some liberties when calculating everything. The functions that determine how the game generates random events were quite complex (and available for access in the games lua files) So rather than spend an exorbitant amount of time calculating every possibility with the functions I opted for an easier calculation using the pool of possible items for each event speedrunners need to go in their favour. As an example the enemy spawn waves are weighted based on what you've encountered, and a few other factors, it makes for a mess when you're trying to calculate speedrun perfect odds
@@Abyssoft Yeah, I get that, thought I'd just point that one out cause it's actually useful for people to know =p
1:59 can't believe you forgot my boy Hermes 😭 talking about speed runs 😭😭
12:23 its 2.95 * 10 raised to the power of -68. Basically divide 2.95 with 1(68 zeroes)
I'm a casual player. My all time record is 11 minutes with Heart Seeking Bow. Got Aphrodite's special, 2 or 3 chaos boons that raises special (can't remember how many), Hermes' +30% quicker special and both hammers that raises the special's power, of course.
8:19 correct me if i'm wrong but you seem to be comparing 1st seeded to 6th unseeded. why not use 1st unseeded?
There are a few errors beyond the statistical inaccuracies, there are also legendary and duo boons to factor in to the equation, as well as how some loadouts or boons prevent other boons from spawning altogether.
“Day-dahw-lus” hammer lol
"Never tell me the odds!"
It looks like this speed run is for a category where you start with all the upgrades available to you. What about for a new game speedrun?
the most popular new game category is fresh file, which is start a new game and get a win. The fastest weapon for that is the sword since you start with it, take the guaranteed Athena Dash and build towards Merciful End. You can also run other weapons but they're slower since you need to take intentional death(s) to earn enough keys to unlock that weapon. The other official category is Fresh File to Credits (FFTC), which needs 10 wins from a new file. The route can either start with a regular Fresh File approach where you get the first win with the sword, or take enough intentional deaths to buy enough upgrades (usually +1 dash and 1 revive) and clear with the bow, which is safer but slower. Then it's a matter of balancing winning runs and farming ones to get enough keys and Titan blood to upgrade your weapon of choice, and get the remaining wins with that weapon. As of now people have used Hestia rail, base bow, Hera bow, base sword and Eris rail. Might have more since the last I checked. For unofficial categories, there's Fresh File to any weapon of choice, Fresh File all weapons, which is 1 win with each weapon for a total of 6, and Fresh File All Aspects which is 1 win with each of the 24 weapons available, which is quite long because unlocking 6 of them is up to dialogue RNG.

Quick question How does a person figures all this “seeded” or the “rng” stuff? That’s gotta be some sort of bs. How do you figure out that creating rubble or better yet however many times you get Charon to growl it’s gonna affect the run?

This vid is a bit old, does the effect still work as described or has it been changed since?
If you meant to say 1/2.95E+68, a very small chance, I think that’s 1 in 295 unvigintillion. (21-illion)

Preface: I seriously mean what I'm saying, not coming from sarcasm land. You know, I have to give you props on self naming that constant at the end. Yeah, I chuckled once I saw what you did there, but, that's pretty much a tradition in various STEM disciplines.
zamn. if i remember, in lore, this is all security tests, right? a mere three minutes, guess theres quite a few particular flaws for hades and the contractors to resolve
I appreciate the video, but you left a lot out, you didn't mention what the charms are or what they do, the odds of getting a hammer, or what boons to take when clearing a room, the mirror buffs
great vid that i had to stop after you said daedalus hammer
Great video! You did a great job breaking it down for us normie non speedrunners :)
2.95e68 is several orders of magnitude larger than the number of atoms in the solar system (baiscally the sun because that's where the mass is). Hitting that probability would be like, if a million million of our suns were gacha machines and their atoms were the gacha balls, you have to pull exactly one of those atoms.
Assuming that you meant the Abyssoft constant to be 1/2.95E68, That'd be 1 in 295 unvigintillion or 295 vigintunillion. If you meant 2.95E-68, that'd be roughly 1 in 33.8 unvigintillion/vigintunillion.
You would need Dream luck to get a perfect Hades speedrun
Great thumbnail bro
Thanks, I was quite happy with how this one turned out
