Speedrun Modpack

Speedrun Modpack

Unrelated Mod to the Hades 1 modpack. Just slightly inspired by it is all.

This is a modular Hades II modpack. Every module here can either be installed individually or part of the pack. It brings together first-hammer selection, in-game LiveSplit-style timing, quality-of-life options, and gameplay-flow quality-of-life adjustments under one shared Speedrun settings window. Optional modules (Boonless, InfiniDD and Quick Pause) are installed separately and join the same window when present.

How To Open The Settings

In game, open the mod menu from Mods -> adamantSpeedrun-Speedrun_Modpack -> Show Modpack Menu.

What the pack brings instead of individual installs

Unified UI

Have a single unified UI panel to manage all module toggles, settings, and shared options.

The Quick Setup tab gives each included module a compact enable toggle so a profile can be configured without jumping between separate mod menus.

Profiles

Save different configurations, such as Any Fear, High Fear, RTA, or multi-run practice, into profiles and load them with one click in game.

Profiles store the shared Speedrun settings state, making it easier to swap between routing, practice, and submission setups.

Hashing

While the pack is installed, a unique fingerprint will be shown on the side. This is simply to confirm the uniqueness of the configuration in the pack.

Included Modules

Select First Hammer

Choose the guaranteed first Daedalus Hammer for each weapon aspect.

Instead of taking a random first hammer, you can assign a specific opener to every aspect in the game. Leaving an aspect on None (Random) preserves vanilla behavior for that aspect.

The module provides a separate first-hammer selection for every aspect across the full weapon roster. UI layout is grouped by weapon, then by aspect.

Hammer Panel Options

LiveSplit

In-game splits and timers for Hades II. Built on Museus's Timer mod.

Timing

• IGT: the game's run timer.
• RTA: wall-clock time.
• LrT: RTA with map loads removed.

Show any combination. Splits are per biome on Underworld, Surface and Dream Dive routes.

Categories

Category — Goal

Single Run — Splits for every run until you stop recording.

All Regions — Clear the Underworld and the Surface, either order, same aspect.

3 Weapons — Clears with 3 different weapons.

One Weapon — Clears with all 4 aspects of one weapon.

All Weapons — Clears with all 6 weapons.

All Aspects — Clears with all 24 aspects.

Custom — Your own rules.

Multi-run categories time the whole session: RTA runs from the first run's start, including time in the Crossroads, and IGT is the sum of every run. Deaths are logged as failed runs and the session keeps going. Repeats and rule breaks are shown but don't count.

Custom can reproduce any preset (Settings → Copy to Custom) and change it:

• up to 50 runs;
• which of region, weapon or aspect must be new or stay the same;
• which regions count;
• whether a death ends the session;
• whether to keep biome splits for every run.

Long sessions

• Pause (F6) between runs to take a break. The session clocks stop, and the break shows up as

a Paused split, so the total stays honest.

• Sessions survive a game exit or crash. Time with the game closed isn't counted.
• The overlay pages through finished runs with F7/F8.

All keys can be rebound under Hotkeys & Advanced. Conflicts with other mods' keys are flagged there.

Quality of Life

Thanks to Pony for their QoL mod. This is a port of many of their features into my modpack for hashing/profiles, alongside my own QoL.

Adds practical speedrun quality-of-life options for cleaner menus, faster resets, and better keyboard-and-mouse handling.

Direct ports from PonyQoL

• Always Show Location: Always displays the current location in the UI.
• Skip Death Cutscene: Skips the death cutscene and returns you to the main menu faster while still showing the death screen.
• Auto Skip Dialogue: Automatically skips dialogue prompts during gameplay.
• Skip Run End Cutscene: Skips the end-of-run cutscene and returns you to the main menu faster while still showing the victory screen.
• Spawn in Training Grounds: Spawns you in the Training Grounds instead of next to Frinos pool.

Speedrun QoL additions

• KBM Escape Fix: Makes Escape work during boon and pom selection, Hex selection, Path of Stars, and death sequences.
• Rerolling Saves the Game: Saluting the Oath statue now triggers a game save.
• Arcana & Fear on Victory Screen: Displays Arcana and Fear on the victory screen.

Gameplay QoL

Adds run-flow and routing helpers for speedrun routing and practice.

Current options:

• Skip Gem Boss Reward: Stops bosses from dropping gem rewards when using Grave Thirst.
• Prevent Echo Scam: Blocks both Fields minibosses from spawning in room 3 to prevent Echo scam.
• No Selene in First Room: Removes Selene from the reward roster of the first room
