MODERATORS
I absolutely adore how Hades is balanced across an impossibly broad skill range. With some practice, even more casual players can eek out a win and then you have these absolute top 0.0000001% players that can chase challenges like this. Very few titles have achieved anything remotely close. Kudos to the player here raising the bar and let's see if anyone can string two of these back to back.
Back to back is functionally impossible. The odds of getting the required boons to just leave the first area is very low. Getting the boons on the right rarity immediately after clearing a run on the highest heat just won't happen.
I was mostly saying back to back in jest and was more referencing the next "impossible achievement". Who knows, maybe some new exploit will be uncovered that broadens the viable builds for this particular one.
