[dense grail]

DAMN that was fast || did u get all endings ||

[odd escarp]

I’m legit working on my school work early so I can get it done early so I can play hades 2

[covert valve]

Jesus, first silksong and now this? Truly this is the indie game release window of all time

[dense grail]

Me except with silksong

Bc classes haven’t started for me yet !!

[rapid osprey]

I missed one bc you get locked out of it if you proceed to act 3 but I got all the others

[dense grail]

Soooo cool, i hope u had fun!

[odd escarp]

I need to get this one pager project done before the 29 which is when it’s due I wanna get it done early

[vital pine]

Just woke up to the announcement and I'm honestly laughing?
Cloverpit: Yeah our release date September 3rd is too close to the new Hollow Knight release date September 5 so we're moving our game to September 26!
Hades: Hey so we're releasing September 25-

[dense grail]

Good luck!!!

[rapid osprey]

oh absolutely. Genuinely one of the best experiences I have ever had playing a game

[oak ivy]

Never heard of Cloverpit

[dense grail]

Supergiant and team cherry ganging up on all other indie studios LOL

[sleek rover]

What's a cloverpit

[scarlet estuary]

DAMN I gotta beat Silksong FAST

[scarlet estuary]

Too much gold is releasing lately

[strong grotto]

Who is starting a new save for the full release?

[orchid acorn]

theres a reason Edmund McMillen said the end of the year is VERY strict timeline wise and delayed his game to 2026

[analog flax]

Have you all been in a rush to finish Silksong by September 25th? I've been playing BG3 recently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it by that date. I'll have to temporarily give it up~ Imao! Because I'll be immersed in Hades2 from the end of September to the entire month of October.

[dense grail]

Same || i just started act 3 yesterday and im so excited to keep playing ||

[brisk timber]

the two weeks of pain, despair and agony of anticipation of the release

[rapid osprey]

I got a fking 70 hour save file on skong lmao

[dense grail]

Yeah

[rapid osprey]

the best one 🔥

[keen merlin]

LET'S FKING GOOOO YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW READY I AM I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT THIS UNTIL ITS TIME OMFG THIS GAME IS MY LIFE HAS MY SOUL AND YA'LL NOT READY HOW I AM GOING TO LOSE MYSELF IN THIS GAME. For real tho Hades changed my life. You cannot fathom how much this game means to me. T-T

[dense grail]

For me it was bc i wanted to avoid spoilers, but now im even more pressed for time LOL

[scarlet estuary]

||I'm still on Act 2 and i'm taking my time. Don't wanna rush through it. I still haven't even explored Sinner's Road in Act 1. There's so much to do||

[sleek rover]

I dont think acts lock off areas of the map

[scarlet estuary]

I never said that

[sleek rover]

It may progress some events tho

[dense grail]

|| Thats true, there’s still so much stuff!!! I did as much as i could before the final boss of act 2 and even then I have things left||

[oak ivy]

fraud should I not be clicking on these grey boxes? 🥺

[dense grail]

|| I did sinner’s road in act 2 as well LOL it was genuine hell honestly ||

[sleek rover]

But yea I did the same, I didnt even go to the act 2 gate before exploring all of the map

[fathom lake]

HAHAHAHAHHAAHA

[scarlet estuary]

||Thought you said Act 1 mb||

[buoyant matrix]

they're all act 2 stuff

[oak ivy]

oh cool, thanks!

[fathom lake]

TOLD YOU SO
HADES 2 today

[analog flax]

I might even keep playing Hades 2 until Europa Universalis 5 is released in November. During this period, i guess there shouldn't be any other games to distract me.

[dense grail]

Man

[scarlet estuary]

||Very clearly a "mid game area you can access very early" type of level||

[oak ivy]

If you think ||the sinner's road is awful||.... just you wait 😭

[sleek rover]

Starts with a B?

[oak ivy]

yep!

[scarlet estuary]

||I heard about Blighttown 2.0 Electric Boogaloo||

[dense grail]

|| Worst area for exploring to me so far has been either sands of karak or bile water ||

[sleek rover]

I'm now walking around there to find a flea

[oak ivy]

||sands of karak|| are apparently a lot more tolerable if you get the ||double jump|| first 😔

[scarlet estuary]

||I just unlocked the needle grapple. It's so broken lmao||

[sleek rover]

Sands is annoying, the run back especially

[dense grail]

|| Mhm! I had it but it took me a while to get the gist of the platforming, didn’t realize i had to pogo off the spiky platforms LOL ||

[oak ivy]

what's that? ||wall jump?||

[smoky rover]

this is a spoiler channel tho

[dense grail]

|| I know there are a few shortcuts connecting to blasted steps but thats about it ||

[oak ivy]

not for silksong!

[sleek rover]

Bile's run back is the worse one tho cause they decided ||to hide the benches for some reason ||

[scarlet estuary]

Not Hades 2 spoilers

[buoyant matrix]

erm guys move to #video-games ☝️🤓

[lethal wigeon]

Silk song and HADES IN THE SAME MONTH

[dense grail]

NOT THE NERD EMOJI

[civic sedge]

Coming September 15511210043330985984000000

[oak ivy]

we were hit with the nerd emoji, it's over 😔

[uncut galleon]

so in the trailer, why are dio and ares missing from the image with all the olympians? is it because they are too hot?

[nocturne wedge]

hah add borderlands 4 , yesterday

[dense grail]

I need to do errands anyway but im just so excited for all these games

[scarlet estuary]

||The thing that lets you hook onto rings and grapple onto enemies||

[sleek rover]

DIO?

[buoyant matrix]

late game gods, counts as spoiler i think

[oak ivy]

ohhh okay!! yeah that's an amazing ability!! people usually call it a ||harpoon I think||

[dense grail]

Was gonna say the same

[uncut galleon]

athena is there though

[buoyant matrix]

she was a fan favorite in h1 so they made an exception for her

[orchid acorn]

they read our feedback that ares and dio feel pretty underpowered and instead of adjusting them they are removed from 1.0, just like they did to that one familiar incantation

[dense grail]

Ive heard it’s called || grapple hook? || but take it with a grain of salt

[nocturne wedge]

i hope they make more duo songs in the game ,,

[buoyant matrix]

divine dash was with great difference the most picked boon in h1

[dense grail]

Exactlyyyyyy

[smoky rover]

||Silksong will be revealed at the next nintendo direct||

[oak ivy]

||hornet||

[sleek rover]

I though the harpoon was different than the needle grab thing?

Cause there's that charm that gives money for grappling to enemies

[dense grail]

Im rlly hoping we get to see zag in the prologue like Persephone was an npc in og hades and get his keepsake, especially if we get a duo song!!!!

[sleek rover]

But doesnt work when you use the needle

[scarlet estuary]

||Game's never coming out sorry||

[dense grail]

Ye bc it’s a tool, like the cog bugs or the drills

[raven perch]

Prologue??

[dense grail]

EPILOGUE

[sleek rover]

Yea it's the only one I'm missing

[dense grail]

Thats my bad hahah

[raven perch]

You’re definitely gonna see Zag it’d be crazy if they didn’t

[dense grail]

U get it || from the thief npc that sets up a shop in blasted steps ||

[oak ivy]

we have a whole game about Melinoe and everyone still keeps talking about Zag 😔

[dense grail]

Mhm, what’s up for speculation is the role he’ll get though

[raven perch]

He’s Mel’s cheerleader

Wears the skimpy outfit and pompoms and everything

[sleek rover]

I bought everything from him but I'll go back and see if I can do something there

[dense grail]

I absolutely love melinoe but i rlly wanna see zag in game as an npc

[oak ivy]

I know, I agree, it's just funny that there are soooo many comments about how everyone misses Zag and how everyone wants a playable Zag etc etc

[dense grail]

|| If what u meant is the grapple hook skill that lets u grab on things from a distance then u get that in a certain area, idk which one right now though ||

[raven perch]

Are you talking silksong? You should go to #video-games

[sleek rover]

No no I got all silk skills, the thing I'm missing is the tool

[dense grail]

The playable zag thing is rlly annoying LOL i love him but this is Mel’s gameeeeee and supergiant made it clear zag wouldn’t be playable

[raven perch]

Ttust me I understand but also the announcement will make this channel important

[violet rampart]

Say do we know who is handling Hades 2 physical?

[sleek rover]

I do

[raven perch]

You totally understand me

[elfin forge]

so no playable zag then?

[oak ivy]

people already kind of talked a lot about the announcement earlier, the conversation just naturally seemed to shift towards silksong somehow...

[oak ivy]

NO!!!! 😭

[sleek rover]

We dont know for sure sure

[raven perch]

Because silksong is the better game obviously /j

…/srs

[uncut galleon]

you can play as him in h1

[dense grail]

|| The tool that scrapes rosaries off enemies is bought from that guy for sure🫡 ||

[oak ivy]

all conversations lead back to Silksong 😔

[elfin forge]

but not in h2?

[dense grail]

Nope

[hearty idol]

https://tenor.com/view/gohine-hohino-no-hohineee-gohineee-gif-17792172174678204487

[raven perch]

I do think H2 has far more replayability for me it’s just more generally fun but Silksong is just so absolutely phenomenal

[sleek rover]

I'm 100% sure he didnt sell it to me

[elfin forge]

https://tenor.com/view/omni-man-omni-man-are-you-sure-are-you-sure-invincible-gif-3935116808772397515

[sleek rover]

He sold me a charm just not a tool

[raven perch]

I’ll kill you

[sleek rover]

are you sure

[dense grail]

|| Huh, weird! Sorry I cant help, good luck getting the tool though🫡 ||

Anyway imma leave for real i have stuff to do

I hope everyone has fun/is hyped for hades 2 1.0. Heheh, and to other fellow skong players have fun too!!

[smoky rover]

I hope dyno gets removed in 1.0

[restive lagoon]

Holy cow! That trailer makes me crave an animated Hades show.

[twin apex]

they chose the best songs for it too. olympus aflame is some of the best music i've ever heard in any game ever. darren korb is amazing

[uncut galleon]

i'd love to see prometheus animated in the style of the trailer

[covert valve]

Yes it is!!! It's my second favourite soundtrack in the game

[solemn hinge]

That new trailer is amazing, I can't wait! Though that trailer made me happy, I got saddened by amazon suddenly cancelling my nendroid melinoe preorder this morning, talk about a one two whammy. :/ that happen to anyone else?

[spare tinsel]

you guys gonna be starting a new save file for the 1.0 release? I know i will be

[twin apex]

they're all great songs honestly. olympus aflame is definitely my favorite as a musician, but all three siren songs (especially rock and a hard place) are amazing and the end of time where louis cole just pops off

[elfin forge]

so its not even coming on 17?????????????????????????????

[spare tinsel]

why would it???

[elfin forge]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-sanji-sanji-one-piece-sanji-crying-gif-24471024

[spare tinsel]

its release date is the 25th

[tribal delta]

what do you mean its not out today

[spare tinsel]

did you just pick a random day and decide that you were going to expect it to release on that day?

[covert valve]

Oh man rock and a hard place is a BANGER. I was on the fence about it initially but I warmed up to it FAST

[spare tinsel]

nah Typhons theme is incredible

[covert valve]

My top 3 are

1. Death to Chronos

2. Olympus Aflame

3. The Necropolis

[dire frigate]

Personally, I like the end of time with its crazy drums

[twin apex]

rock and a hard place is so great. i also love the lyrics that pretty much directly reference the vow of rivals (saying "you wanted more, but careful what you're wishing for")

[glass arch]

wow, less than 2 weeks to launch

[maiden salmon]

Will I be able to punch Theseus in the face with the 1.0 launch?

[hybrid gulch]

you can punch him now, just gotta play H1 instead

[covert valve]

I was also pretty surprised by how much I liked song of the isles too

That's honestly the most sireny songs of all the soft versions

[spare tinsel]

oh my god i dont know why but i just now realized that the 1.0 release means we're finally going to be able to meet up with Zagreus (i hope)

[glass arch]

I wonder if I should go back to the EA just to see what's different in 1.0 when it drops, or if I should just wait for the full game

[neat frigate]

So uh. Who were those minotaur guys in the trailer

[twin apex]

i'm just really excited for the full release. i've been playing since the original closed technical test

[spare tinsel]

I hope so much that they let us talk with him as an NPC and do the thing where if we try to gift him a Nectar he ends up giving us one first, so we have to give him a keepsake of our own

[covert valve]

Whoa! That's very cool! I only got into Hades recently, this March. Didn't start Hades II until early April

I think...? I don't remember

[glass arch]

same

[small bison]

Will switch version of Hades 2 have steam cloud save option?

[spare tinsel]

new Hades Keepsake, more to do with Hypnos, saving the Three Fates, meeting them and potentially getting a keepsake? oh my god there is so much im excited for

[glass arch]

I played Hades 1 for the first time this year, fell in love, and immediately bought H2 once H1 got boring (I finished the story and epilogue and was just doing repetitive heat runs)

[twin apex]

hypnos keepsake that sends nearby enemies to sleep when??

[spare tinsel]

did you atleast do the romances of hades 1?

[rose cave]

At long last

[glass arch]

yeah, and the threesome

[spare tinsel]

very ggood

[glass arch]

I maxed out every relationship... I think.

I might've missed one, can't remember

[restive lagoon]

Heck yes!

[twin hull]

I won't, but then again, I purposely left out a lot of content still when I stopped playing while waiting for 1.0 (Didn't do the chaos stuff and didn't do a bunch of high heat runs). I am curious though on how the weapons would feel if you start all over again when 1.0 drops since they changed a lot of the way weapons work ever since

[glass arch]

I'll keep my EA save, but I'm starting fresh for 1.0

[restive lagoon]

I skipped through so much dialogue during EA

[daring osprey]

Huh 25th- didn't expect to be this quick-

[maiden salmon]

I also plan to do a fresh file for launch

[viral topaz]

trailer is so hype, still kinda confused on wether other console will eventually get a release and if so what the estimate for that window is

[glass arch]

I probably won't be around once 1.0 launches 'cause I know this channel is gonna go crazy on the 25th...

[spare tinsel]

they almost certainly will, just a matter of time

[tough spade]

The animation was so good oh my god
I need to know who did the animation it’s amazing

[buoyant matrix]

I'd like to experience the dialogue and story all over again but i will NOT grind every upgrade for a third time, I'll be keeping my own save

[twin apex]

i'm probably gonna do fresh file too. i'll miss having the power of maxed out melinoe, but i've forgotten so much of the dialogue that i need to replay it (and correctly go through progression, since i did a lot of stuff that was later changed)

[spare tinsel]

i recomend just using a mod like PonyMenu for getting your weapon upgrades and stuff again

its safe to install and uninstall

[glass arch]

I like restarting a game I've been endgaming for a while. Makes me appreciate just how far I've come

[twin apex]

plus i'll go through everything so much faster since i'm actually good at the game at this point

[spare tinsel]

best part about starting a fresh save file with this game is that the bosses are just barely easy enough that you can make it all the way down to atleast cerberus on your first run :P

get to see alot of fun unique dialog for doing so

[twin apex]

no more throwing myself at the bosses for 10 runs in a row just trying to learn their attack patterns

[glass arch]

maybe... I'm probably rusty after not playing the EA for a few months

I just hope 1.0 Chronos gets beefed up a bit. The Underworld is soooo easy in the endgame

[void bear]

Is 9/25 a official, full release? I see its V1.0 so im confused lol

[glass arch]

yeah, 1.0 is the full release

[daring osprey]

Yes

[glass arch]

doesn't mean it'll be the last ever update, but it'll be the full game

[void bear]

huh, why call it V1.0 then and just game haha

[buoyant matrix]

because so far the game has been in early access

[glass arch]

because 1.0 isn't the end of the line. It's just the starting point.

[void bear]

ahhh ok, thank you i was hella confused lol

[buoyant matrix]

they won't release too many updates after 1.0

[buoyant matrix]

we're in version 0.125588 or something right now

in september 25th it'll skip all the way to 1.0

[twin apex]

just one more patch to buff my boy ares

[lament epoch]

Do yall know if it’ll have cross save on launch

[glass arch]

yeah, it won't be like EA with a ton of overhauls and new stuff, but they're not just going to abandon it after 1.0

[buoyant matrix]

please fix trick knives

[granite mauve]

poor ares being the worst god in both games

[buoyant matrix]

they very literally said they did

[buoyant matrix]

ares was far from the worst god in h1

demeter gets the honor for that in h1

[glass arch]

I still expect to see some buffs and nerfs in future updates after 1.0, just not as extreme as the ones in early access.

[lament epoch]

I fw Demeter for her cast in h1

[granite mauve]

Demeter gets a pass because of rare crop 🙏

[thick coral]

is hades 2 coming to playstation?

[buoyant matrix]

ares gets an even bigger pass because of merciful end

[lament epoch]

I was melting bosses with the crystals

[glass arch]

Dem's cast is the only good thing about her in H1. But she's the best god in H2.

[twin apex]

it's just sad that in both games he's pretty reliant on specific boons. in h1 it was duos like hunting blade (imo, i was never a top player in h1), and in h2 it's his legendary

and merciful end ofc

[buoyant matrix]

likely a few months after the pc/nintendo launch

[thick coral]

damn, thank you

[fiery meteor]

zagreo in hades2🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[glass arch]

Ares is the worst in H1? I always thought he was the best... but then, I was hardly a master at the game

[buoyant matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[fiery meteor]

XDD

[viscid badge]

i love hera but i think shes only really good if you have a bunch of her boons.... just one is kinda meh imo

[fiery meteor]

i played during the early access tho

[buoyant matrix]

out of the 8 gods he'll probably rank 6

[twin apex]

i like h2 demeter's design because she's really good for casual players because of how safe her freeze effects are, but then it changes as people get better at the game. really dynamic balancing honestly, i like it

[buoyant matrix]

h2 demeter is still REALLY good at high level gameplay??

[granite mauve]

he’s just not really a god you ever want to see unless you are building around his duos specifically

[glass arch]

I think she's a good all-rounder for casuals and hardcores. Freeze is just good, period.

[dry heart]

It's a bummer that PlayStation and Xbox may need to wait until next year to play. I get that it's a similar release strategy as the first Hades. I've loved playing it on steam, just wish my brother on PS5 could enjoy it too.

[twin apex]

yea she's definitely good, but when you compare it to the absolute powerhouses like zeus's damage, hera's hitch, and hestia's scorch damage when considering you usually have a max'd out vow of time, there's more aspects that are important

[glass arch]

Hestia's good, now?

[buoyant matrix]

she has snow queen
that's enough to always take her in high fear

[empty abyss]

Heh, close enough.

[buoyant matrix]

yeah she's a staple of high fear runs

[glass arch]

I thought she was still considered bottom-tier, even with her buffs in the last patch

[buoyant matrix]

scorch is great now and her utility is pretty good

[thick coral]

frfr, i wanted to play the game with my bro too

[twin apex]

yeah the most recent buffs to scorch (i believe it was in patch 10, but i could be wrong) pushed her into the "really good" territory

[obtuse sapphire]

Olympus, I accept this release date

[thick coral]

the ps5 store in the last couple years have been pretty horrendous

[dry heart]

If it follows last release it'll be August 2026...

[gray belfry]

Congrats guy

[thick coral]

hopefully it does not

[buoyant matrix]

hey stay positive, we're getting ghost of yotei soon 👀

[viscid badge]

ghost of yotei with my goat erika ishii

[twin apex]

people don't realize just how strong scorch can be sometimes. you can see a lot of youtuber runs (like haelian and boated) where the only hestia boon they have is like a lv.1 rare smolder ring, and scorch still ends up as like a top 3 damage source by the end of the run

[lost wing]

was your 2nd time after they reworked the resources? I'm curious how the early progression feels since those changes

[buoyant matrix]

most of us active here are very experienced players so we know quite well how strong it is 🤑

[thick coral]

ghost of yotei seemed like a strong release, but damn after playing exp33, ds2, silksong, kcd2, and splitfiction, its kinda hard for me to be excited for it xD

[frail ferry]

I hope witchbrook releases soon aswell this year

[buoyant matrix]

second time was in patch 9, the unseen update
everything is fine excluding the last few levels of grasp and the aspect upgrade grind

[empty abyss]

coughing baby versus peaks

[lost wing]

thanks. I didn't find the aspect upgrades that bad really so I'll probably do a fresh file for launch then

[elfin forge]

hades 3 when?

[buoyant matrix]

though the majority of players won't even bother maxing out every aspect so i guess that's fine

[thick coral]

ds2 isnt my fav on that list but its still a pretty great game

[buoyant matrix]

oh also the arcana upgrades may take a while

[twin apex]

i am still excited for ghost of yotei. tsushima was a really fun game imo

[crude pulsar]

ok so I just want to be sure

hades 2 just got a release date

[buoyant matrix]

1.0 is coming to pc don't worry

[crude pulsar]

correct?

[buoyant matrix]

yes, 25th September

[crude pulsar]

IIIIIIIII AM SO EXCITEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[thick coral]

me too man, i strongly hope its a goty nomination

[empty abyss]

Yea. I allow it

[humble urchin]

atleast it’s much much better than in H1. i’m on 90 odd nights (wasn’t even gunning for testaments) and i have atleast 8 aspects maxed out

[crude pulsar]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1322703693665144882/1416091751034257478/image.png?ex=68c595b7&is=68c44437&hm=254dd035899a5604e62c37c2f5d646bac64b2b2c815f1b19922370f0183c18d6&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=993&height=458

[granite mauve]

Year of the indies

[crude pulsar]

I CANT WAIT TO SINK ANOTHER 100 HOURS INTO THIS GAME

[native herald]

wait uuh guys just a quick question,so does the 1.0 release in september only for pc and nintendo? or is it consoles too?

[empty abyss]

me when Mel welcomes Chronos back into the Olympean family and Typhon too, as a pet dog. (This has truly been Hades(hell) )

[buoyant matrix]

pc and tendo

[glass arch]

September is turning out to be a very good month for gaming. Hell is Us (which nobody knows about 'cause it came out same day as a certain other game), full release of Hades 2, and we finally get the game that everyone gave up on

[twin apex]

curious, what's everyone's favorite boon to take in h2? 1 boon that you'd take whenever you could?

[granite mauve]

the end of the supergiant game

[buoyant matrix]

thermal dynamics

[lyric matrix]

Only PC/Nintendo

[toxic hedge]

Lmao the price wouldn't change

[buoyant matrix]

thermal dynamics is i think the strongest boon in the game right now period?

[native herald]

wait what,really? oh you gotta be kidding me no way,how long will consoles have to wait then?

[viscid badge]

hera boon that upgrades all common boons!!

[toxic hedge]

A year. At the most

[buoyant matrix]

hades 1 had a few months between its pc release and console release

[lyric matrix]

At least 6 months

[buoyant matrix]

so you can assume the same here

[native herald]

dammit😭 i was so excited

[lyric matrix]

This has been known for a while that it was only coming to Nintendo for consoles

[thick coral]

they giving the gta treatment to consoles 😂

[native herald]

well I havent really been following it so yea

[buoyant matrix]

they're a mid sized indie studio I don't think they can work on 4 different builds at the same time

[native herald]

true true,welp thats fair,I´ll just wait a little longer then

[empty abyss]

another 10 hadillion to the OST budget

[spare orchid]

they are pretty good with timelines to be fair, september is well within 2025 and they could've gone later and still met the goal of 2025

[whole palm]

Hi

I really wish there was a non binary romance option

[lost wing]

yeah, the underworld end shop Nightmare + delivery Nightmare + Testaments + prophecies + occasional Nightmare from the incantation/fear thing gives a pretty consistent stream ime

[empty abyss]

choose a side

[granite mauve]

In the Blood 2 will be real

[whole palm]

What do you mean?

[twilit gale]

please give us an option to romance hypnos. I BEG YOU SUPERGIANTS

[granite mauve]

he’s too eepy 😴

[whole palm]

@empty abyss just to be clear when I'm talking about a non binary romance option I'm talking about people who are non binary, ie neither a man or a woman
Not just a non 2 sided choice

[twilit gale]

we can romance every child of nyx now please please please I would cradle him endlessly and braid his hair

[empty abyss]

oh wait yea we did able to romance Than. Hypnos is on the menu

[twilit gale]

every plot twist would be forgiven if they add romancable Hypnos. Please.

[empty abyss]

no no Hypnos isnt just in the Menu. He's the bucket list

[granite mauve]

1.0 checklist: save Thanatos bury Zagreus marry Hypnos

[vast coyote]

The Prometheus v Heracles fight is surprisingly easy, granted I used Knuckle Bones though

[daring osprey]

Romancable Prometheus

[empty abyss]

real

[granite mauve]

I think Prometheus already has a boyfriend

[fathom lake]

CHRONOS LOOKS TERRIFYING IN THE TRIALER I LOVE IT

[granite mauve]

but that never stopped the gods before

[empty abyss]

yea thats me alright

[twilit gale]

yes PLEASE

if they add a marriage option that would be mad funny
truly a stardew valley then(It is a joke I doubt they do)

[brave urchin]

I think that fight feels very long

Not hard, but long. Like the health pool of them is so big.

[empty abyss]

Massive?

[fathom lake]

YEah Grit 3

MAkes it painfully [boring and hard]

[main jungle]

Will we see zagreus in 1.0?

[granite mauve]

probably

[empty abyss]

I wonder how my glorious prince Zagreus will looks like

[granite mauve]

I bet he will have hair like hades

[empty abyss]

SPoiler Alert: the september 25th update is just a hoax and SGG ran away with the money they got

[granite mauve]

I wonder if he will have the twin fists and the heart seaking bow since 4 of his weapons are being used by others

[rustic matrix]

Just as im about to start Uni, Hades 2 releases and Limbus Company's arknights collab come out on the same day
Way too much good stuff at once!!

[empty abyss]

ye ye peak on the first one but I will ignore wahtever the Hades is in the seccond one

[limpid oar]

Wait who's using the spear

[granite mauve]

Athena I think

both spear and shield

[limpid oar]

Isn't she using the shield

[empty abyss]

oh no thats differ. There's like a bajillion spears

[granite mauve]

well if nobody else has the spear then I bet zagreus still has it since hades also uses a spear

I wouldn’t blame zagreus for getting rid of the spear though…

[empty abyss]

Zagreus sees Nem using sword and just snap it back to him: " Man, gimmie this imma show you how its done" *Starts deflecting projectiles

[uncut knot]

Did we see anything new in the trailer?

[empty abyss]

another shade of the fine shawties but aside from that, no

[stray shoal]

Do we have any information about hades 2 on xbox and psn?!

[empty abyss]

Reverse ps5 exclusive treatment (No info on the 2 consoles)

[uncut knot]

I need 1.0 now

[tacit light]

THIS IS THE BEST SURPRISE EVER I JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP

[humble urchin]

isn’t zag trying to attack chronos with the spear in the first hades flashback?

[daring osprey]

He did? I don't remember even though its only been 2-ish months

[stray shoal]

Damn 🫠

[granite mauve]

Zag could have beaten Chronos but when he tried to attack… “No fighting in the House!”

[empty abyss]

oh no it was worse. His ahh was caught lacking trying to throw the blood cast

He was frozen mid hunching for the cast animation

[humble urchin]

ahhh i remember that he was frozen in the animation of charging at him, don’t know why i thought it was the spear

[humble urchin]

he was just trying to get +50% damage on him :(

[empty abyss]

I remember that pose as clear as day for how lacking he was caught. Me personally I wouldnt be caught dead doing that dumbass pose

[flat nymph]

Why didn't Zag just divine dash to deflect Chrono's time freeze? Is he stupid?

[granite mauve]

no boons in the house 😔

[empty abyss]

He couldve dashed, Dash-Strike, do anything else but naw He had to do that cast to the TIME DEMON of all folks

[buoyant matrix]

hey man that 50% damage boost from boiling blood goes a long way

[solemn fractal]

chronos a hoe u know he set it up

[flat nymph]

Imagining Zag coming home one night loaded with Dionysus boons and throwing wine around getting everyone drunk, forcing Hades to explicitly implement this rule

[buoyant matrix]

@alpine oxide the graphics for the left and right arm are the shade's pov!

[granite mauve]

Pretty sure he can’t return home without dying and the river styx removes his boons but that would be really funny

[solemn fractal]

can we appreciate whoever animated the trailer?
my god it looks so sexy

[dense light]

YOOOO

[daring osprey]

Or it was the beef he had with the Olympian lmfao

[dense light]

THIS FEELS SO UNREAL

[empty abyss]

Unreal... Engine

[solemn fractal]

in this month we got both silksong and hades 2 genuninely insane

now all we need is the katana zero dlc plz God

[empty abyss]

shivers me. Almost frighted myself for saying that suck game engine

[flat nymph]

This year got absolutely stacked in the course of like a month

[granite mauve]

Unreal modifier from terraria

[dense light]

bro last night i was super irritated and said only 2 things would make me happy

Etrian odyssey 6 and like hades 2 release

I got one of them LOL

[granite mauve]

Unreal Exagryph

[solemn fractal]

EO6 had to be sacrificed for Hades 2

[dense light]

I think its funny hades 2 release got announce right after i bought hollow knight

[solemn fractal]

it's a sign
after u buy silksong we'll get Half Life 3 ong

[granite mauve]

Chronos cursing melinoe with silksanity to delay her arrival

[empty abyss]

SGG fr dodging Silksong

[solemn fractal]

"Granddaughter, I'm silking it rn"

[empty abyss]

hey guys whats the hype with Hollow Knight anyways? Is the combat that satisfrying?

[solemn fractal]

why did i type that?
why did Chara make me type that

[alpine oxide]

right, but you left click, raise the left hand, but the visual is of the right hand

[solemn fractal]

it's a lot of things
for me it's not just the tight combat, but there's a sense of exploration- almost every new area you come across has something satisfying or a secret to be uncovered
and the sountrack is so peak

[granite mauve]

Charming and difficult platformer with fun combat and nice story and characters

[buoyant matrix]

hmmm idk i never thought too deep about it

[granite mauve]

I feel like it’s kind of like a 2d dark souls but that’s not really the best example

[solemn fractal]

anyone know how to create a poll?

[empty abyss]

hmm I will check it out on pirate bay later(funny Steam banned Vietnam)

[alpine oxide]

it's objectively not important to the quality of gameplay, i just noticed it and thought id bring it up

[solemn fractal]

nah ur on the right track it's like bug Dark Souls ngl

but we are digressing too much ngl this is the Hades 2 discussion chat

[buoyant matrix]

the first game was one of the best indie games ever made that included some revolutionary mechanics and made an entire genre so much more famous
the second game is that but on crack and steroids

[empty abyss]

hmm, a game made for gamers by creative people and is successful. THis oughta be good

[solemn fractal]

bruh icarus doesn't even show up on that cool shot of all the major allies

[oak ivy]

it IS

[buoyant matrix]

people were waiting for it for sooo long (7 years to be precise) and once it came out it actually delivered on all the expectations

[oak ivy]

I feel like it not only delivered but even exceeded all of my expectations honestly

[solemn fractal]

ngl it's so tough but everytime i get frustrated there's always something that pulls me back

like it's so genuinely beautiful and has insane depth ngl

work of passion fr fr

me on the bottom

[gilded oyster]

For anyone reading definitely do not play silksong without playing hk first

[oak ivy]

bone bottom*

[buoyant matrix]

🤯

[oak ivy]

I do agree yes!

[solemn fractal]

also chronos is way scarier in the trailer than in-game ngl

[oak ivy]

yeah in the game he is honestly not really that intimidating at all for a big villain

[solemn fractal]

but my glorious winged boy Icarus has no appearance???

[buoyant matrix]

yeah everything is so beautifully exaggerated

[oak ivy]

he's just a lanky grandpa

[solemn fractal]

yeah he just seems super lame

[daring osprey]

I was thinking why the sharp teeth and i remember he ate his children-

[solemn fractal]

yeah that shot of him opening his jaw was peak

secret EM4 phase where he turn you into a kid and digests you in full release???

[buoyant matrix]

???

[crude dragon]

That'll be a surprise for later

[gilded oyster]

the animation in the trailer is sick af

[solemn fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-sweating-key-and-peele-gif-13836847

[daring osprey]

yup it was amazing

[gilded oyster]

reminded me a lot of the castlevania anime

[solemn fractal]

hey buddy what does that mean

[crude dragon]

Please look forward to it

[solemn fractal]

hey buddy ol pal what're u trying to say

[crude pulsar]

I cant sit still

that 1.0 trailer was so good

[solemn fractal]

20 minutes of animated melinoe back please

[crude pulsar]

omg why was it so good

[summer raptor]

ayyyy we did it! we waited this whole time!!

congrats everyone

[solemn fractal]

honestly we don't need it, but i really want a hades animated series ngl

[granite mauve]

It would be amazing but also very costly and time consuming

[solemn fractal]

i feel like something bad's gonna happen to icarus ngl

[meager garden]

cant wait for Hades 3 early access to launch

[meager garden]

bros gonna fly into the sun

[solemn fractal]

we're playing as ultimate tiger mom persephone

[granite mauve]

I think something bad already happened to Icarus 😭

[solemn fractal]

valid lmao

[daring osprey]

Hahah

[gilded oyster]

yeah didn't he already fly into the sun in game

[granite mauve]

I wonder if we will meet Daedalus in 1.0

[solemn fractal]

but nah the fact he doesn't show up once in the trailer???

[granite mauve]

that’s how he died right

[gilded oyster]

why he has cool steampunk wings instead of lame wax wings

[solemn fractal]

oh that would be nice

[buoyant matrix]

he improved them

[gilded oyster]

learned a valuable lesson about materials

[indigo lava]

The emphasis in that trailer on melinoe being a daughter of hades and not a daughter of Persephone is SO GOOD

[solemn fractal]

yes, in his hubris he flew to the suns and melted his wax wings

[solemn fractal]

she's more Hecate's daughter at this point lmao

[granite mauve]

We’re definitely going to Elysium at some point and Daedalus is probably there

[indigo lava]

True

[solemn fractal]

Persephone kills the Fates so she's finally able to raise her third kid in peace

[gilded oyster]

ooh elysium endless boss rush??

[limpid oar]

Guys, the announcement about a release on 25th was surely bait, right? The game was supposed to release today

[granite mauve]

possible

[solemn fractal]

ngl the fates suck
like they always lead to some BS prophecy that just keeps on causing pain

[solemn fractal]

it released yesterday lol the ending was peak

[wintry dagger]

I'm just imagining Zag saying "wait I could've just had a drink from this soup bowl and I could freely visit the surface whenever for however long I want?" And Mel saying "..it's not a soup bowl. That's a cauldron."

[gilded oyster]

that's lore accurate (the lore is greek mythology)

[solemn fractal]

real

[granite mauve]

[solemn fractal]

"And then the hero died a horrific awful miserable death after living a painful miserable life. The END."

[granite mauve]

the fates clearly liked zagreus though

[solemn fractal]

It's da Zag man, everyone loves Zag

[inland frigate]

YES RELEASE DATE TIME!!!! cant wait for the revival of the braindead discourse about the God designs

[granite mauve]

literally everyone loves him 😭

[crude pulsar]

how so, they are all so hot they make my brain go dead

[granite mauve]

except for the other guy

[solemn fractal]

bruh Chronos straight up says Ur brother is way more interesting and fun than you

[meager garden]

why is hecate more jacked than artemis

[crude pulsar]

she is a titan

[granite mauve]

Bench presses the cauldron every night

[crude pulsar]

so she has a different body build

[indigo cypress]

Oh wow looking at the highlights this direct looks really meh, should I just skip to Hades 2 😭

[solemn fractal]

everytime she kills meli she does 10 push-ups

[limpid oar]

Hecate could bench press me

[granite mauve]

Hecate uses her clones to train 3x faster

[solemn fractal]

oh i thought for a sec u said for a sec if u should skip Hades 1

[granite mauve]

But meli uses us to train 10,000x faster

[inland frigate]

People complaining that gods can't be black/disabled/woke etc. It's really, really dumb.

[solemn fractal]

this kind of impudence leads to the gods turning you into an ethernal dumbell dawg

[crude pulsar]

Lets be real though, the main reason they made hecate so buff is cause muscle mommies are hot

It goes against the character being a mage, it goes against what a mage build is supposed to be, but NO ONE GIVES A CRAP because she is hot. And Im with em

[daring osprey]

Ah- Those people

[solemn fractal]

the best way to avoid that thing is to not talk about it ngl these mgs are attention pigs

[limpid oar]

yeah the gods, Hecate is a titan it's different

[crude pulsar]

Fun fact, hephestus was in a wheelchair even in the og greek mythos

[granite mauve]

it is technically inaccurate but you won’t catch them saying that about a game like god of war 3 so who cares

[solemn fractal]

clearly someone does not respect the mind-body link
pointdexters with muscles are peak

[limpid oar]

...hold on when were wheelchairs invented, I thought it would've been like 19th century or later

[vital pine]

Disabled yes, I think he had like robot helpers-crutches though

[indigo lava]

We ignore those people

[vital pine]

not specifically a wheelchair

[solemn fractal]

bro's tryna become Endymion from the myths lol

[indigo cypress]

Wtf how are you gonna reveal a Mario Galaxy movie but not who voices Rosalina

[daring osprey]

Yup, their opinion means nothing to me

[solemn fractal]

oh damn what if Icarus enters an eternal coma?

[crude pulsar]

Im a conservative that thinks the left is going a bit too far now a days

And still will simp for mel x nem

cause the game is well made, the characters are hot, and it respects my money

[solemn fractal]

also y'all think we're gonna see arachne as a human

[granite mauve]

maybe

[crude pulsar]

-# I hope not

[daring osprey]

On one side I am sad, on another he wont show up on the ship/moutain any moree sooo mixed feelings hm.

[crude dragon]

Maybe as a half-human

[solar harness]

im so glad that the game is coming out a few days before my classes start so i can get it out of my system before then lmao!! when the ea started i was midway through a film studies class and all i did on the bus to and from was olay hades 2 lmaooo

[indigo lava]

Okay.

[granite mauve]

a lot of the late game story will likely be about the injustices of the gods so it’s definitely possible we will turn Arachne back

[crude pulsar]

no. please no.

Dont give the furries more ammo 🤣

[vital pine]

So, arachne-drider?

[tranquil wren]

what does your political ideology have anything to do with hades 2

[crude dragon]

Furries? No, I was thinking monster girls

[indigo lava]

Ya I didn't even bring up politics dude

[crude pulsar]

Was just using it as a talking point about how politics dont matter when it comes to a fantasticly made game like this

if I worded it badly I appologize

[vital pine]

Yeah weird you need to say you think the left is going too far 🤷‍♂️

[tranquil wren]

^

[inland frigate]

I was once too. I won't engage with this past a single post cause it's gen. Get out before it ruins your life like it did mine.

[crude pulsar]

Apologies

didnt mean to ruin the mood with a badly worded comment

[granite mauve]

I hope hades 2 has a battle pass

[limpid oar]

I felt like i was going too far left lately... turns out my controller had stick drift

[crude pulsar]

thats...a worse message then mine

[crude dragon]

REALLLLL

[crude pulsar]

Ok now THATS a good reply 🤣

[acoustic ruin]

dodging is kind of a battle pass

[indigo lava]

I need super giant to be their most toxic self

[crude pulsar]

get out

[granite mauve]

Supergiant please lock all hidden aspects behind a gacha wheel

[verbal rampart]

You're the kind of polite conservative I would share a drink with. And that comes from a radical lefty

[granite mauve]

and also medea

[acoustic ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-gif-18261463

[crude pulsar]

its important to learn how to read a room

[wintry dagger]

All I need from Hades 2 DLC is a Hades 3 announcement in October and Hades 3 Early Access in November

[crude pulsar]

And if you read it wrong, just admit it and talk about something else. It aint that hard

[daring osprey]

Now the DDs has a chance to work and are no longer guaranteed

[tranquil wren]

pay money to guarantee a DD

[limpid oar]

or just make aspect level ups random. you throw your nightmare into the cauldron and a random aspect gets +1 level

[granite mauve]

Watch an ad for 50 gold

[lyric matrix]

Oh I did see Hades 2 on the Nintendo e-store for preorder
Still $29.99

[crude pulsar]

I...actually would want this

[acoustic ruin]

if we would go by actuall history the next game would be how the olimpians go through a midlife crisis cause they are suddenly know under different names

[tranquil wren]

lmao

[daring osprey]

Lets do it Maplestory style, theres a chance your weapon break when attempting upgrade and you need to craft it again

[spark vessel]

Kill me man

Hades 2 same day as sonic racing crossworlds

[crude pulsar]

Oh like The Forgotten city?

[tranquil wren]

Roman mythology

[vital pine]

Suddenly we're using Latin instead of Greek

[little mason]

Like real life

[limpid oar]

if you gift Heph before attempting an upgrade, your odds of a successful upgrade increase. also lets add scrolls that protect you from breaking the weapon

[spark vessel]

I really have to chose between my favorite roguelikes ever vs my favorite racing game ever

[crude pulsar]

easy choice imo

[vital pine]

I'm a metal craftsman in real life, Hephaestus can have all my nectar lmao

[spark vessel]

Ye in Hades server ofc it is

[little mason]

The last good Sonic game was Sonic 1 on Sega

[crude pulsar]

was waiting for a sonic bad post XD

[crude dragon]

Well, Sonic Racing is on borrowed time since they have a Persona 5 crossover :3

[lucid tartan]

Hey guys, I played the game first couple of weeks it came out then stopped to wait for 1.0.

Can I pick it up from where I stopped when it release or they doing a reset?

[crude pulsar]

I dont think they are doing a reset

[vital pine]

If it's been that long I'd start from the beginning tbh

[daring osprey]

Even when you successfully upgrade it might have been a "bad roll" so now your Anubis even at max level has +10% speed instead of the full 30-

[little mason]

There Gunna delete all ur steam saves for every game

[crude dragon]

The only thing being reset on your current save and the 25th is that the final boss drops are getting auto-sold into Prestige

[crude pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/look-stare-face-mean-bruh-gif-27645430

[limpid oar]

they are resetting the final boss resources, but thats all

[inland frigate]

I feel you man. The miscommunication is coming from a difference in perspective and fatigue from modern events. We all want to be heard right now. There will come a day where admitting we were part of something horrific will feel at once the worst days to be alive, and the hardest thing we might ever have to do. When that day comes, please don't give up on yourself.

[coarse bone]

1.0 SO CLOSE YESSS

[crude pulsar]

hey now, we moved on

[inland frigate]

took me a whole to voice something that was important to me.

[little mason]

I'm so glad 1.0 will be a free update 🤓

[coarse bone]

Silksong and h2 in the same month we are really eating this month

[crude pulsar]

agreed

[crude pulsar]

exactly

[solemn fractal]

? it costs 35 bucks brah

[daring osprey]

but its the full game lmfao-

[limpid oar]

nah they shouldve made it a full price dlc

[crude dragon]

1.0 will make you have to re-buy the game

Please look forward to it

[solemn fractal]

IT IS A FULL PRICE DLC???

[little mason]

Yeah

[solemn fractal]

did u guys forgor?

[little mason]

It's hades 1 dlc

[humble urchin]

“thanks for playing early access”

[inland frigate]

Will make you re-buy the game with a tacked on convenience fee.

[solemn fractal]

yeah if u brought the game EA, Meli will come to ur door and spit in ur face, then mug you for 35 bucks to play the full game

[coarse bone]

"Im taking back your h2 privileges buy again"

[crude dragon]

2XKO moment

[little mason]

1 dollar subscription feee every month

[coarse bone]

I know one thing. I will be starting new sew

[solemn fractal]

ok Charon

[coarse bone]

Save

[granite mauve]

Charon would never scam

[coarse bone]

Lucifer wants to know your number

[inland frigate]

"Hades 2 will be changing course to a live-service model to keep up with consumer demands. "

[limpid oar]

sounds like a good deal

[acoustic ruin]

damn i myself would have given her 40

[inland frigate]

Also I get the feeling the announcement date was probably influenced by the release of Silksong somehow.

[limpid oar]

make it 45 and you dont even get a game

[daring osprey]

hmmmm

[coarse bone]

They would delay it if it was influenced

[plain remnant]

I'm going on holiday on the 25th!!! NOOOOOOOO

[inland frigate]

Exactly. Blame Pilksong for making us wait.

[limpid oar]

what if this is the delayed date and they wanted to make it today? i believe in 12/09 release

[fossil echo]

2 things I'm really hyped for in one Nintendo direct? I'll take it!

[acoustic ruin]

they called team cherry and had a talk 💯

[fossil echo]

Why would you think that?

[daring osprey]

what? I thought it was releasing today?

[limpid oar]

it was revealed to me in a dream that the game is out today

[acoustic ruin]

is that you hypnos

[limpid oar]

the fact that its not means it got delayed to the 25th

[granite mauve]

[hearty wind]

Quick question although I am sure that there will be no issue: we can continue our saves from Early Access, right?

[native warren]

Supergiants please tell me something about Zagreus I miss him, I miss my husband Supergiants please tell me anything

[limpid oar]

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-review-eepy-kitty-sleepy-cat-sleepy-kitty-gif-15376148450942612603

[acoustic ruin]

ye there lies the problem, you thought /jk

[granite mauve]

Yeah

[inland frigate]

I hope so because I already finished all the testaments

[crude dragon]

Yeah, the only thing getting deleted are the final boss drops

[limpid oar]

I have a spoiler for you || Zagreus is actually Melinoe's sister ||

[hearty wind]

whaddya mean final boss drops are deleted? oO

[inland frigate]

Zsand and the googly eye

[daring osprey]

Next you are telling me Hades is her father

[crude dragon]

Zodiac Sand and Void Lenses will be auto-sold for Prestige once 1.0 drops, so you can't just instantly complete the incantations

[granite mauve]

Who’s excited to go on YouTube and immediately see “Hades 2 Final Cutscene” on September 26th with a spoiler in the thumbnail

[acoustic ruin]

they are getting converted to prestige, so EA players dont finish the game in 15 min

[limpid oar]

nah that would be such a reach

[little mason]

Next thing ur telling me she kissed her brother by accident

[hearty wind]

oh.... and all my farming goes to waste 😢

[crude pulsar]

what does prestige do btw?

[granite mauve]

I thought zag transitioned

[inland frigate]

base cosmetics

[acoustic ruin]

you can buy fancy stuff with it

[crude dragon]

Dionysus:

[lean quail]

GOOD AFTERNOON CHAT IT'S HAPPENING

[acoustic ruin]

THATS WHY WE CANT FIND HIM, he IS Mel now

[inland frigate]

Dionysus assuming Zagreus transitioned was the highlight of my experience.

[daring osprey]

If I remember correct- that was somewhat dio's first impression of her in the game?? lmfao-

[crude pulsar]

Gonna be real, when I heard that line from him I unironicly hurt myself laughing

[granite mauve]

yes lol

[crude pulsar]

it's just SO PERFECT of a line

[lean quail]

GUESS WHO HAS TO UNRUST THEIR SKILLS BEFORE THE DAY ARRIVES

[strange copper]

Is it available for pre-order on Switch 1?

[little mason]

They removed the line because people complained

[tranquil wren]

wait what?

[limpid oar]

yeah bro post your credit card information and address and ill order it for you

[crude pulsar]

if they actually did I'm suing

[strange copper]

I'm not that stupid 😔

[ruby ledge]

Dang I didn't realize H2 wasn't coming to Xbox when it came to Switch.

Put it on Xbox, Supergiant!

[little mason]

Nah they will put it on steam deck before they put it on xbox

[crude pulsar]

It was just so perfect of a line LMFAO. Dio sees a girl that looks kinda like zagreus, and instantly goes to "Oh it must be my homeboy but a woman now"

I love him so much

[limpid oar]

nah they wouldnt put h2 on the steamdeck

[crude pulsar]

The himbo we all need

Im going to be watching shenpai THE NANOSECOND she goes live with it

[daring osprey]

Errrrr

probably none tbh ;-;

[crude dragon]

Friend of mine

[mortal dragon]

I am going to leave this server temporarily until I hit the epilogue honestly.

[granite mauve]

That might take a while 😂

[limpid oar]

noo don't leave, at least just leave it on mute

[little mason]

Imagine having time to watch somebody play a game that you should play.

[mortal dragon]

I am nothing if not stubborn patient.

[shy charm]

is the feedback channel closed fro everyone else?

[crude pulsar]

no

[shy charm]

ah it must be because I rejoined the server

[daring osprey]

You need the role I think

[shy charm]

ohh

[daring osprey]

feedback role

[shy charm]

ty

[upper jacinth]

[lean quail]

when i see zagreus Little beepo there will be screaming . so loud. you will hear me in outer space

[inland frigate]

Why tf does Chronos hiss in the trailer

[lean quail]

scawee

[granite mauve]

drama queen

[inland frigate]

[granite mauve]

maybe his voice actor couldn’t record for the trailer

feels weird he doesn’t say anything

[inland frigate]

Chronos with the autistic rizz

randomly hisses

Chronos would be happier as a catboy

[granite mauve]

Asks the satyrs to glue some ears onto him

[humble urchin]

chronos gets freaky with the satyrs confirmed?

[sleek oar]

Yall why did i just figure out today that white antler is cracked

[granite mauve]

they had to revive him somehow

[crude dragon]

Because you were scared

[granite mauve]

It’s cracked at screwing over chaos trials

[sleek oar]

True

[humble urchin]

i forgot the exact calculation but iirc it averages out to basically double damage

[sleek oar]

I was strength+wa and chronos got 0 damage in hehe

[prisma crow]

Is Ares or Hephaestus considered weak? I have some real trouble using them, maybe just doing things wrong

[daring osprey]

One day (hopefully) I will be good enough to use White antlers🫠

[limpid oar]

I view these two more as support than something to build around

[inland frigate]

dpsing in wow classic taught me how cracked crit chance is once you have enough

[crude dragon]

Hephaestus requires pretty much all of his blast Duos and a lot of poms on his Blasts (Hestia, Demeter, Apollo, ideally also Poseidon) to pop off

Ares, yeah

[prisma crow]

Ok thanks, I was leveling up their keepsakes but didn't really like using them, they felt a lot harder to use than the others

[little mason]

Stop playing warrior

[vital pine]

I like Ares' healing and Hephaestus has some decent DR

[crude dragon]

But I like monki flip

[limpid oar]

for heph specifically, focus on his defensive support boons and he will feel like a good addition to whatever it is you're actually dealing damage with

[vital pine]

Lowkey find it hilarious I go to the god of war hoping for healing boons though

[inland frigate]

I played Shadow Priest on my main and warlock on my alt.

[buoyant matrix]

his voice actor is an official member of sgg and voices like 4 other characters in the game, it's definitely a creative decision

[vital pine]

whereas Apollo, god of healing, has basically no healing

[crude dragon]

Spartan rage :3

[limpid oar]

also i somehow ended up using Heph attack in my 58f Eos

[little mason]

Ew a caster

[prisma crow]

I like Hestia the best because Dionysus was my favorite in h1, I love poison effects

[kindred shard]

Aura

[buoyant matrix]

1.6x average damage

[swift forge]

Q) Hello everyone. Is Hades 2 EA as complete as the full release? Are there any major updates planned until release? I only ask because I want to know if I should wait for full release or not.

[inland frigate]

Our guild had the second fastest cleartimes on the server basically at all times because we didn't rely on swapping in warriors from four different raid times like lunatics.

We did the Warlock strat.

[humble urchin]

hmm maybe it was cherished heirloom antler that equates to double damage then?

[inland frigate]

Thus needed an spriest.

[kindred shard]

Only thing different is some story stuff and i assume some balancing

[buoyant matrix]

we don't have the whole story yet, you may as well wait until 25th September

[little mason]

There's dlc coming

[buoyant matrix]

yes

[humble urchin]

yeah i got it mixed up then

[little mason]

Must of been a small server

[prisma crow]

The game has tons of content already and is very polished, no reason to wait

[inland frigate]

Grobbulus

Same server as Barnybee

The guild we were always a little bit behind on was Final Boss

[upper jacinth]

You can already do a ton rn, worth starting it now!

[wide vapor]

Do I go for another playthrough of Hades before the 25th or a new playthrough of Hades II now? I can't decide

[prisma crow]

I have an advice question, I've been trying to use the Mel's staff, but I always end up using the primary attack instead of special, what's a good god for that and should I be using basic specials or Omega?

[humble urchin]

might aswell wait the 2 weeks

[upper jacinth]

maybe Hades to get hyped for whatever will happen with Zag in H2

[inland frigate]

Our warrior-core was comparitavley smaller which meant more of them were geared. And more of us had our mental health intact.

[buoyant matrix]

the best damage rotation for mel staff is dash attack, special, repeat
put any big %boost on your special like hera or apollo

[wide vapor]

Thx @humble urchin @upper jacinth I appreciate it. Loading Hades now ❤️

[upper jacinth]

Have fun!

[prisma crow]

I made the mistake of putting Demeter on my special this run thinking I could freeze lots of people but it's not working well

[upper jacinth]

maybe you can sacrifice/swap the special boon

[prisma crow]

Yesterday I put Hera on the torches special, and having the spinning balls put the curse on everyone was very fun and effective

[inland frigate]

Also might be worth mentioning that Grobbulus was a horde dominated server, so the maximum dps for Warriors was lower anyway, due to lacking sword spec from humans.

[humble urchin]

it is a very strong effect for safety/survivability, you just have to be mindful of it

don’t forget that the special attack does pierce enemies

[prisma crow]

I need to look up actual damage numbers because it's hard to tell if Omega moves are good just for damage. Like, I basically never use Omega cast it always seems to just get me hit

[merry whale]

the only enemy i regularly use omega cast on is master slicer warden

sometimes root stalker if i happen to have hitch on cast

otherwise u wanna rely on ocast boons to make them worth it, like prominence flare from apollo

there's also winner's circle that rapidly increases ocast channeling

for like general omegas, the current meta is kinda wishy washy w them per weapon

[humble urchin]

i barely use ocasts but an ocast build can be very fun

[merry whale]

staff's playstyle gets objectively worse if u try to weave omegas into it, long charge + low base cost (can't hex as easily) + certain tech w it got patched out = not good

it's also why momus is one of the worst aspects for staff rn, esp with the pulse nerf

[weary shore]

Is goty gonna come down to silksong vs hades 2?

[merry whale]

i sure hope h2 wins cuz at least it's not punishing me for wanting to play the game at my own pace

sry im just mixed on silksong personally LOL

[buoyant matrix]

it will probably be e33 just cause it's more mainstream

[weary shore]

That’s fair, yeah

[static wave]

Will Hades 2 support 4k resolution on Switch 2?

[weary shore]

Hell maybe borderlands 4

[meager garden]

nahhh that'd be a long shot

[buoyant matrix]

not even close

[merry whale]

iirc the nintendo clip said smth around 1080p or 1280p, i forgor tbh

[prisma crow]

Ok that's what it felt like but I wasn't sure if I was just using them wrong

[weary shore]

Sorry, lol, borderlands is a bit more main stream i think, they had that bad movie and everything

[meager garden]

Chat how are we feeling about the balance of the game going into 1.0

[static wave]

Yeah, it mentioned 1080p 120hz but I was wondering if 4k is also available.

[merry whale]

ye dw, staff omegas are just in a bad spot rn, hopefully it gets improved in 1.0

[prisma crow]

It was 1080p 120hz in docked mode

[weary shore]

I love circei staff omega cast

[merry whale]

prob 4k60? i'm not sure :p

[buoyant matrix]

no i meant as in, games that have realistic graphics and strong narratives are always much more favored by journalists and voters

[merry whale]

confident lol, i trust they gonna cook

[limpid oar]

I am gonna be surprised if it's anything other than e33

[buoyant matrix]

unfortunately yeah

my personal goty is skong for now

will have to see how ghost of yotei and ninja gaiden 4 perform

though with team ninja's recent history, i doubt ninja gaiden 4 will be goty tier good

[vestal gyro]

Hiii

[buoyant matrix]

gurt: yo

[weary shore]

That’s fair, yeah

[sleek oar]

Whos this zagreus guy i only now melinoe

[merry whale]

me when i get stuck in the cuphead tutorial

[vestal gyro]

I did some fanarts for these games maybe I can post them somewhere

[kindred shard]

120fps docked thats all we know

[buoyant matrix]

#fan-works

[weary shore]

I would love hades 2 to win goty, I’ve already enjoyed a ton of hours in it

[finite drum]

silksong has like five times the peak concurrent players of e33

[buoyant matrix]

oh my god don't remind me of that

[buoyant matrix]

a lot of e33 players were on console though

[finite drum]

silksong too...

[prisma crow]

Maybe silksong. Goty stuff is mostly about crowd pleasing though so people will watch again next time

[buoyant matrix]

and once again, journalists prefer fancy graphics

[kindred shard]

Even the indie category is stacked this year

[lime trellis]

THIS IS MY SILKSONGGGGG

[kindred shard]

Very happy that competition is tough because it means we got good games

[merry whale]

if h2 isn't considered fancy graphics enough ima riot tbh

[finite drum]

i dont think e33 has a chance against silksong and hades 2

[buoyant matrix]

if you ever think skong or h2 are gonna win against e33 remember that tlou 2 won over hades

[prisma crow]

Like I can't stress enough, the game Geoff keighly picks is about getting people to like his show, not about the games themselves

[finite drum]

that means absolutely nothing

[kindred shard]

Yeah when have we ever valued the opinion of geoff

[buoyant matrix]

yeah tlou 2 also didn't stand a chance against hades but it won anyway 🤷‍♂️

[grim brook]

Silksong and Hades II are going to singlehandedly tank my college marks this semester

[proud sparrow]

Ex33 is gonna win and it deserves it ngl. Even tho i find hades 2 more fun

[prisma crow]

He let us know that mountain dew and Doritos are the gamers choice 😆

[merry whale]

mountain dew doesn't particularly make me happy

[buoyant matrix]

I don't like energy drinks or any "gamer" drinks for that matter

water is my favorite drink with cola being a second

[prisma crow]

Maybe you guys are too young to know what I'm referencing, this is back from the Xbox 360 days lol

[buoyant matrix]

yeah all the mlg memes

[merry whale]

the one mlg meme i remember was in that henry stickmin game

my friend was crazy into mlg at the time tho

[granite mauve]

Funny idea; what if after completing the story zagreus has a chance to replace Dionysus on Olympus and pretend to be him in order to prank Mel

[vestal gyro]

Guys don’t be me who drank cola at night

[merry whale]

naked zagreus naked zagreus

[acoustic ruin]

with a not so prominent speedo, thats how it is you cant change my mind

[halcyon trench]

Does sending gifs from the trailer count as spoilers /gen?

[prisma crow]

This game and Hades 1 is crazy how they didn't get old for me. I normally do not like rogue likes

Oops didn't mean to quote

[wind heron]

you people have no vision smh

it should be naked zagreus and thanatos

[orchid acorn]

for the sake of this channel you can say literally anything

[glossy beacon]

its crazy its coming out early then I expected I am super excited

[halcyon trench]

I'm trying to make the ones I like from the trailer very fast, the motion is so gorgeous omfg

Been losing it to this game, just beat Chronos during his Vow, by the skin of my teeth

[orchid acorn]

the thing that is making the image for me is that it looks like her moon headband is part of an emoji too

[gilded oyster]

e33 is an Event, I don't think there's really any world where it doesn't win

[merry whale]

before today i have never heard of e33

[buoyant matrix]

oh believe me red, it's MASSIVE

[orchid acorn]

ngl i didn't really like this part.

like what the hell are they doing it looks cool but like ???

mfs are just ritual dancing

[smoky rover]

that's kind of the point, is it not?

[buoyant matrix]

exactly

[gilded oyster]

this is what I think happens whenever you do anything with the cauldron tbh

[wintry dagger]

Me when I see Queen's Ransom:
Me when I see King's Ransom:

[gilded oyster]

like they don't animate it in game but this is my mental picture

[smoky rover]

I don't want either, and would prefer if they had actual duo boons

[gilded oyster]

why bother having witchcraft if you don't RAVE

[halcyon trench]

It's just a dramatized version of the rituals at the cauldron. It's an interpretation by the artists and some of the players here

[glossy beacon]

labubu ritual to summon and find out that Trumps fecking Satan

[orchid acorn]

i mean i guess? i didn't really think it went that far tho lmao

[crude dragon]

Right, that's actually a pretty good piece of final feedback, that Queen's Ransom doesn't feel nearly as good to find as King's Ransom because most Hera boons don't scale up as nicely as Zeus boons

[smoky rover]

what is labubu

some kind of ritual?

[humble urchin]

funny ass scene

[gilded oyster]

run, run now

[crude dragon]

Beanie babies but ugly

[gilded oyster]

forget you asked

[orchid acorn]

if 1.0 doesn't have a full dancing mel as a unskippable ingame cutscene when she does EVERY incantation im requesting a refund

[wintry dagger]

RL beanie baby gacha but they remind me more of NFTs since they're all the same with different looking coats and colors

[timber lichen]

The animation for Chronos is so lit

[glossy beacon]

some weird gen Alpha late Gen-z craze

[crude dragon]

It's literally just the Beanie Baby craze from the 90s, but with way uglier plushies

[raven perch]

You understand me it’s just too directionless

[limpid oar]

https://tenor.com/view/la-bubu-gif-2634188817803217425

[halcyon trench]

good idea

[vital pine]

I know you meant "an animation every time she does an incantation" but my brain immediately went to "Ah yes a single unskippable cutscene in which she dances while doing every incantation in the game at once

[crude dragon]

Looks like something that isn't allowed to eat after midnight

[smoky rover]

I might need to learn some additional definitions

[limpid oar]

idk it just looks like a labubu to me

[halcyon trench]

I really just want Meli and Goku in the same room after that lil hop and dash. Lil greek anime character

[vital pine]

I mean Mel's been naruto running this whole time so

[static anvil]

How many hours did y'all clock in

[halcyon trench]

as of right now, 148.5

[proud sparrow]

80

[halcyon trench]

When she's using the blades, yeah I can't lie, but no I want Son Goku to be in the game as a special boss

[vital pine]

Over 800
This only represents like 80 runs though I just leave it open by accident sometimes lmao

[halcyon trench]

"Hehe, I heard you're pretty strong! You've killed Time huh?"

[vital pine]

also sometimes not by accident as much as by "alright I've done a run gonna go do something else on the computer then go back for another later"

[worldly sky]

At 1080p

[proud sparrow]

Bro spends 10 hours per run

[buoyant matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-son-dragon-ball-z-exhausted-gif-13516929

[worldly sky]

on Switch 1, it will likely be 1080p 60 FPS, and handheld 720p 60 FPS

[vital pine]

investigating every detail like it's Blue Prince

[halcyon trench]

That's real, if that's the case maybe 120 hours then to keep it safe, as I leave the game open sometimes on accident too. Not for too long but still

[gilded oyster]

one of the very few things I appreciate about nightreign is that it gives you a total game time and an in-run time

[halcyon trench]

U get the vision

[proud sparrow]

Is that worth playing btw?

[vital pine]

If you like puzzles and are okay with RNG getting in the way occasionally, absolutely. If either of those things would drive you crazy, I'd give it a try anyway but it might not be your thing.

Like in general I think most people who do roguelikes and like puzzles would like it? But I've definitely seen bad reviews from people who clearly just wanted it to be a different game

[proud sparrow]

Also i have about 50 runs i think and im at 80 hours. You must be leaving it on for weeks lmao

[static anvil]

If you like puzzle games

It's as good as it gets tbh

[proud sparrow]

Ok i like puzzles. Is it like actual head scratching puzzles?

[vital pine]

I mean I'll leave it on while napping for a few hours regularly because shutting down my computer to get a full healthy 7-8 hours sleep a night, what's that?

[proud sparrow]

Damn

[orchid acorn]

me and meow agreeing on something? this is crazy @oak ivy

[vital pine]

Absolutely. There's points later in the game where a lot of people wind up needing to get help from the community; it's possible to do it yourself but it gets Hard

[oak ivy]

yeah I agree with that too!! crazy...

[proud sparrow]

Damn. Must build up over time lol

[abstract pecan]

Does anybody know if the Gifts of Night from the Bounties of the Infinite Abyss incantation can be unlocked on 10+ Fear runs consistently?
Or does this number increase as one continues to gather them?

[orchid acorn]

thats the stuff in biome 4?

i think its just RNG and then requires 10+ fear to get, same drop rate no matter your fear

just matters if you can pick it up or not

[vital pine]

In some cases yes. in other cases it's an overarching thing. Not sure how best to describe it but like... you'll see haha

Ooh okay. Thank you both for that I'll definitely check it out

[spark vessel]

I've been blind to all Hades 2 content but if there was one thing I saw and didn't liked was the health bar UI

Why is like that

[merry whale]

what do u mean

[buoyant matrix]

it looks good

[spark vessel]

Idk it doesn't feel right

[buoyant matrix]

we're all fine with it idk

[merry whale]

prob just get used to it later ig

[spark vessel]

Probably ye

[raven perch]

It looks exactly the same as in h1 to me

[static anvil]

Yeah it's not an issue

[spark vessel]

H1 was a little thinner

[static anvil]

I've never seen anyone bring it up like ever

[spark vessel]

Maybe I'm the Only one

[merry whale]

ye h1 and h2 are stylistically entirely different

[orchid acorn]

timed exclusive to switch for consoles

[merry whale]

im p sure it's sep 25 for all platforms

[orchid acorn]

for pc, switch 1 and switch 2 yes

but ps and xbox are not announced and are not releasing

[spark vessel]

Oh thank god I was going for steam

[orchid acorn]

console exclusive, not exclusive to console

wording matters

[lyric onyx]

Thanks ! I was a bit worried since some game don't transfer the save with official release but since it's kind of a update it make sense to me that we keep stuff
I'm safe then, still have to make my way to beat typhon tho

[indigo lava]

Is chaos limiting boons to common rarity, but those boons not being upgraded in rarity by proper upbringing a bug?

[orchid acorn]

proper upbringing is one time only iirc

[indigo lava]

Okay got it ty

[orchid acorn]

not a bug, it just prevents boons from being offered at common, if possible

but since chaos curse limits them to common it overrides

Couldnt have been sep 24 for my bday eh
