congrats
gg!!!
What was the build that did it
i did it with the hex cape
i SUCK at making builds tho tbh
i dont really get how to get good synergyes to much
i luck into it sometiems
Understand the underlying systems and builds become more apparent
and the second one was skill with zues
yeah there is a LOT to understand really
but it also is just gonna be playing i guess to learn
ive been watching some vids and stuff to see how people decide what to do , but i dont wanna just copy X op build, cos its not reaaaly goona teach me much
Understand how power, function speed and additive percentage multipliers work
Then what the stats of your own functions are
I just had a build that gave me +40 attack power. With the axe that would be decent, but I had it with the blades and it wrecked face
Selene first clear? Huh didn't think it was that beginner-friendly
yea tbh as someone who never looked into guides at all, best thing u can do is just lucking into "oh wait this build works really well i should keep note of this" or "wow this boon sucks ass i'm never taking this again"
selene does stupid damage surprisingly
annoying to actually charge up usually and it'd be nice if it was usable on skelly for practice,,
Do we know when on the 25th the full game drops? I wanna know if I need to stay up late on the 24th.
Lance of Ares go violence and bloodshed
officially we have no idea
very likely its the same as literally every other update which is gonna be like 12-1pm EST
i just got him again with the selene with aphro and Here and demi - i can build the first part of a "build" but my issues are trying to tie the supports/duos/legendaries in - so far is 90% luck based. i need to spend a lot of tiem reading the journal now its all unlocked
will be ready gmt for when im back from work
perfect timing
Depends on the switch release. Aren't they usually around midnight?
Do they delay those?
I’m mildly disappointed they aren’t releasing on a Wednesday actually
why?
isn't it better to have it be closer to the weekend?
Because it always used to be on a Wednesday 🥺
Whatever happened to narrative symmetry
chronos moment
It's gotta be narratively significant, Chronos is messing with the timeline!! it means the incantations WONT work!!!

Cant wait for the battlepass
6.99 subscription to reduce charons shop prices by 30% permently
24 dollars to make 1 item free in charons shop once per night
there should be an option to let me pay to refill on health during a run
Yeah it’s called buying Fresh Sustenance
watch an ad for 50 gold
is this new? "Testament marked. Fear exceeds requirement, not that you care."
Except for when it was Tuesday
it happens when you exceed the fear by 10 points, dunno if it's new
nah that's been around since at least warsong
I recently started the game and I got Burning Desire... Is it just me or is it pretty good? The DPS can go fast
Not sure if I'm missing something 😅
All 3 Scorch duos are pretty good
Burning Desire's the least good of the 3 because it's not as much of a power spike on its own, but it's still solid
Silksong, JJk S3 trailer, Hades 2 1.0 the 25th, MC Live the 27th we eating so good
Yeah this is DEFINITELY my game of the year.
Battle beyond the Underworld starting September 25, 2025 on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
Nintendo Switch 2: http://supergiant.games/hades2switch2
Nintendo Switch: http://supergiant.games/hades2switch
Steam: http://supergiant.games/hades2steam
Epic Games Store: http://supergiant.games/hades2egs
Website: ht...
The 25th can't come fast enough.
absolutely my game of the year as well and im a hardcore utdr fan
so many good games this year
sooo many bangers this year it's unbelievable
chat do i replay the game on release
yo ive beaten typhon multiple times now my record on 20 fear and i still havent unlocked the animal familiars??? i only have the frog and the cat someone help
the balace has changed so so much since i last played
wait no which update was typhon
i think warsong
has another update come out since then
ye, unseen
ah i havent played that one
is prometheus the most difficult boss in the game for anyone else
takes like 2 death defiances sometimes 🙁
you need to visit the erebus fountain room
@atomic river raki (bird) is in erebus fountain, hecuba (dog) is in mourning fields NPC encounter, gale (polecat) is right outside prom. iirc you can just pet raki multiple times to get him but for the other two you have to give them treats
lowkey i use the one that buffs me but i have no death defiance
it used to be, until you learn his moveset
is that the first level
first region in the underworld
idk how like ive not seen that place is it just luck i swear ive nevber been in that fountain
it took me forever to get it too because i was never on low enough health in erebus for the fountain to spawn
oh fountains spawn based on health? thought they were just pure random room generation rng
i mean, you never get fountains at full health
nah fountains can drop at max hp
really?
nah you def can get fountains at full health
iirc mel has voice lines for it too
not getting hit is surprisingly hard
nah i ran armor spam for all my low fear, so i was always at full health
pure randomness to my understanding so you really can't control how fountain rooms spawn don't think, just gotta be lucky for themn
bro WHAT i beat chronos like 7 times in the past 3 days and a fountain never spawned on any of those how rare is it
dw my recent surface clear had zero npc room besides one heracles
well you've done the incantation for them to exist right?
tartarus has no fountains, oceanus fountain is extremely rare, i don't think fields even has a fountain
tartarus has a fountain
no thats my problem diont you have to get the bird first for it to happen, thats what it says on the wiki
ig that makes sense
it def does, it’s the fountain room from the old game but dusty, it seems to be pretty rare
i wish tartarus reward rooms were meta in high fear
also how do i feed the frog treats i go to him in the little weapon area i got like 4 of them n i cant
I don't think so but I'm not 100% how accurate it is on WIki, I thought that as long as you've unlocked the incantation for fountain rooms, it's possible for them to spawn
u need all the pets first
otherwise frinos starves
omds bro
incantation also iirc? I don't have dog pet yet still can upgrade the animals
i js want the bear lookin thing bru
i just checked my cauldon and the only pet incantation i have is the faith of familiar spirits, am i missing something or am ijust unlucky with fountains
nvm i forget spawn of typhon exists
how does one typically avoid his entire room smash
either iframe it or go in between the marked pink areas
always feels difficult to read since you have so little time to react
speaking of rare instances, how rare is artemis singing in crossroads?
51 nights on this save, only 2 have had artemis sing
no idea but i know it was added in warsong
I do wonder how rare it is
Wait why does only the Switch 2 version get a physical release 💀
I think it'll have the same trigger as (H1 spoiler)||Orpheus' Good Riddance|| once you beat the underworld run Artemis will appear and after that she's random
Because it's console exclusive to Nintendo
For now, anyways
But why not Switch 1?
If you're asking about Switch 1, they're the same
Switch 1 is also getting the game
Switch 2 is just the box facing art. The Switch card is the same for both systems
So you can play the Switch 2 version of the game on the Switch 1 but no using the upgrade pack right?
That's my understanding.
I see that certain other games like Pokemon Legends ZA and MP Beyond contain includes the Nintendo Switch game plus the Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade pack
8 days
So I assume that the cartridge in that box works on the Switch 1 as well but you can't use the upgrade pack
@RanciOgrO @PAABLOO64 Yes! The physical edition of Hades II is compatible with both the Nintendo Switch 2 and original Nintendo Switch, with both versions of the game on a standard game card. Also includes a full-color Character Compendium booklet, soundtrack download code, and reversible cover.
I think it just runs the game at 720p/60fps on Switch 1
yeah, on both handheld and docked
In handheld mode right?
Both
Weird considering the first game ran at 1080p in docked mode
Hades II takes advantage of the new Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, offering up blazing fast 120 frames-per-second performance at 1080p while playing in TV Mode. In Handheld Mode, the game runs at 60 frames-per-second at 1080p, while the Nintendo Switch version runs at 60 frames-per-second at 720p in both modes. Players who purchase the Nintendo Switch version may download a free upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 version if they have both consoles.
i wonder what percentage of the game's sales will be on switch
maybe because switch hades performance was a bit shaky
I think they want it at 720p so it stays at 60fps
I played it in docked mode before and it didn't have any issues
It stayed at 60 FPS for me in docked mode when I played the first game
probably quite a bit
esp since it’s been in nintendo directs
Maybe they ran into issues with this game and felt this was the best way to handle it?
yeah hades 2 has way more stuff happening on screen
First game sold well on Switch.
I go to the Eshop and check best sellers. Hades popped up there quite a bit
I'm sure it'll sell really well considering how many people have a Switch if not a Switch 2
Welp that is a downgrade from the first game
the game itself is a big upgrade so it's fine 🤑
could try at least 800 or 900p docked
it's kinda funny that Galaxy 1+2 is selling better than Prime 4 on amazon rn
no idea what any of those are
Well at least the Switch 2 physical version works on Switch 1
I don't know that it's locked to 720p, it may just be that that is the most consistent with 60fps and if you go above you'll see frame drops?
Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime Beyond
galaxy 1+2 is a rerelease of 2 Wii games
metroid prime 4 is the newest release in the metroid prime series, after 8 years of development troubles
Definitely not made by any company worth any money
oh right, nintendo games
Prime 4 doesn't come out for months and Galaxy 1+2 are available right away, right?
Idk the first game had no issues running at 1080p.
sorry i only play fairly priced content
I think I saw some reddit posts calling for boycotts of galaxy
too bad people love mario too much
Galaxy comes out in October
it had some framedrops at busy rooms of later regions
yeah but the first game had way fewer stuff happening on screen at all times, hades 2 is way more chaotic and visually stuffed
I kinda feel like its the opposite
Zag's model alone is noticably ...lesser than Mel's
Well at least the physical copy of Hades 2 works on Switch 1. Maybe I will just get the physical copy (since I have Hades 1 physically)
with exceptions of course
Hmm, well I hardly notice it
nah imo the backgrounds for 2 are much more detailed
I've played both games at a high level and hades 2 is significantly more visually cluttered
Any frame drops in the first game for Switch is barely noticeable unless you are really really sensitive to that kind of stuff
That's what I did, even though I already have it on PC. I like having the physical versions.
Plus it's all cross-save anyways so it doesn't really matter
👍 ok
H2 is probably better optimized even with more on-screen stuff
Yeah Im gonna get a physical copy for my Switch 1.
And hopefully when I get a Switch 2, I'll upgrade it.
it's coming out in November so prayers that it gets on sale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday
yeah
Also I do kinda want to buy Super Mario Galaxy 1
Buy it on Dolphin
don't have emulator
Will get both digitally. SMG 1 for 40 and then SMG 2 on the MAR10 sale
Yeah not gonna happen. I am gonna get SMG 1 first for 40 (I am buying it individually) and SMG 2 later on.
Hades 2 will have to wait because I am buying it physically
fair nuff
galaxy 1 did come with 3d allstars a few years back though
though that was limited time, probably pricy now
yeah I didn't get that
Plus if anyone DID get that, they only need Mario Galaxy 2 then
So much stuff coming out 😭
Hades 2
Absolum
Terminator 2
Marvel Cosmic Invasion
Mortal Kombat Kollection
At least you can buy it indivdually AND indivdually wise, they're not full price
the pricing is pretty ridiculous though
Kirby Air Riders releases the same day as physical Hades 2.
Shinobi was great
I am gonna see if I can get my hands on the physical version of Hades 2 for my Switch 1. And then when I get a Switch 2, will use the upgrade pack.
So I am holding out on Hades 2
I have the first game physical.
Gotta have the 2nd game physical as well
I'm not sure if you need the upgrade pack if you have the physical, that might just be for the digital
Physical copy comes with upgrade pack iirc
and physical copy works on Switch 1 and 2
I keep seeing them say on social media that it comes with both versions on the card
@Ai_iki86 Hey thank you! The physical edition has both the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game on a standard game card (not a game key card). Also includes a full color Character Compendium booklet, soundtrack download code, and reversible cover.
Only certain games have that: Hades 2, Pokemon Legends ZA, Metroid Prime Beyond
Not a game key card is a W really
The pricing for the MK Kollection physical is insane:
Switch 2 version is more expensive than the PS5 version
I get the idea behind the keycard, allowing for it to still have resale value, but I don't think people are into it.
depends on the game I think
for a game like ff7 remake it'd be hard to get it onto a gamecard
especially since they're pricing it at 40
But time itself is against us
it's kinda how like switch 1 would have cloud versions of AAA games
yeah but then again CDPR managed to put CP2077 + PL on one cartridge
Time is always against us no matter what (Hades 2 wise and real life)
I saw it on Steam for $45 right now, but it's not physical.
No clue why Switch 2 is so expensive compared to 1 considering the games are almost as old as me and Switch should be able to run it just fine
yeah but 50 dollars for that? Yea gonna have to wait on sale for that
yeah idk how they squeezed it on a 64 gig cart
Super Mario Galaxy is priority number 1 for me
I never played SMG even tho I had a Wii
No, time is not against us irl nor with us, it’s just there because that’s how it is, and you can look at the limit of time or the positive things you can do with your time
Oh, yeah there's a lot of games on it, though, tbf and that's been their pricing even for the TMNT collection.
But I getcha. I'm sure it'll be on sale soon enough.
perhaps
no it's strictly against us, it makes us wrinkly and old...
Damn
That’s air
And it’s also not against us because we need it to live
no it's time, not air
Old yes but that’s the point of the last one, wrinkly it’s air
Depends. If you already have All Stars, then SMG 2 is enough. Thankfully you can buy both individually and individually, its not full price.
For me I am gonna buy SMG 1 first and then get SMG 2 on the MAR10 sale (Mario games get discounted on that day, physical (and digital too iirc))
Time and age
what's age if not time????
I thought it was the sun???
What’s time if not age? It’s pointless
time is nothing at all buddy
Multiple factors
y'all 😭
nothing is real and nothing matters so just give up
Time is a reminder
einstein said so
Nothing does matter, the void between atoms seems pretty important
Philosophy is when edgy and semantic:
theres no reason for those atoms or the space between them to exist 👿
on the internet everyone is a philosopher
Maybe there is, that’s something we do not know
searching blindly for greater purpose is foolish
but on the other hand foolish cleared 67 fear so maybe its a good idea?
Idk
I don’t believe in any upper being I just can’t really deny all of their beliefs
But they do lol
Was struggling to understand what you meant there for a bit since SMG auto-translates to submachine gun for me
what fear?
lol
Does max Void allow for Judgement?
no
If you have an enemy charmed or resurected and they kill someone in a Nemesis encounter, they should have their name pop up under Mel and Nem's as visual gag. Then if they somehow get the most kills, Nemesis just calls it off.
Familiars should also get their names by Mel and Nem's, but their score just gets added to Mel's at the end.
Is there ever a reason to not B-line hephaestus if you can? lol
Heph is not even that good what do you mean?
A lot of heph propaganda has been pushed forward in this past update
Security system and trusty shield are nice
Especially if you have scars/haste and/or a skill issue (like I do)
okay, weird. so this is how i originally thought it worked, so i thought it was pretty good. but then last night when i used it, i felt i kept getting stuck at 0 magick, hence my message. i must have been tripping (i was... a couple bottles of ambrosia in)
his boons can be fun sometimes but most of the time i avoid him yea
i did a circe build with his cast and just stacked other gods omega cast effects and it obviously wasnt some optimal meta build but it was honestly very fun lol. i ran toula and just stacked my casts on top of each other as frequently as possible. i killed chronos with a venn diagram and it was very satisfying LOL
even if u get stuck at 0 magick, once flood gain reactivates u get to use magick again anyway
so having more max magick ends up basically being a buffer for when flood gain is down
yea i understood your first message, i was tripping
Hey everyone, can I get some help on how to unlock hidden aspects? I have only unlocked 1 - the staff and don't know what to do next?
if you've already unlocked one, you're on track. just keep playing like normal and you'll unlock them. the main tip i could give you is that you get every hidden aspect by talking to a character that has an aspect. for example, you got the hidden aspect of the staff by talking to circe, because one of the aspects of the staff is the aspect of circe. for the daggers, it will be artemis that unlocks it for you. for the axe, charon. etc. etc.
trusty shield??!
Okay that one too yes!
"i am going to bed soon"
Not my fault I keep being tagged 😭
Let me sleeeeep
could you tell me the exact requirements or its not allowed because of spoilers?
you have to unlock the three base aspects, upgrade one of them to max level, then ||speak with the owner of the second aspect||
why does you phone make noise
Because I like it 😔
what @buoyant matrix said ^^ i forgot that part
I'll turn it off then ❤️
lilac house but it mansion
😭 I wish
Hades has Hypnos..
But who's the sleepiest character in Silksong?
darren korb in the studio watching louis cole grow two extra arms to play the end of time
lace has been spotted sleeping multiple times
True but she doesn't give off a sleepy vibe..
me bro this game boring af 🤣
in hollow knight it's obviously cornifer
idk man . when u arnt fighting her she is sleeping
lowkey this might sound like blasphemy but i like shakra more than conifer
The courier guys often sleep!! You have to smack them to wake them up
I agree, Shakra is so freaking cool
poSHANKA
Oooooshkaroooo
kalailailai
is thay deku
What's rage bait?
In this conversation
Shakra is wife Cornifer is bug uncle
buncle
Hollow Knight Silksong SHAKRA SONG
#hollowknight #hollowknightsilksong
bunc trippin
Odysseus kinda gives duncle vibes
dead?
Ry you need sleep too
Dad-uncle
i slerep sdoon
I was sleeping until i got woken up by the sound of amateur saxophone playing in the nearby vicinity
i went to bed at 5 am
Lmaooo yes
priss chratt
Kratt or Mario
Who would you play in the silksong movie?
Trobbio????
maybe
TROBBIO 🎆 !!!!!!!!!!
is this VA or live action
VA I guess
grindle
Great answer too!!
Mild question here do we think the keepsake container will ever be completely full? My OCD want it to be full
Probably
Yeah it's likely
No they’re actually gonna add one more over the limit so it’ll be slightly off
Eris would gift you a second keepsake just for that
Oh jeez okay it's 1 am
Goodnight!!
Nighto
bankai
the new companions gon be crazy. I wonder what it will be
Imagine Hades giving you Cerbie plush so now you can do the Santa Air Strike
I don’t think we’re getting companions, they said no new abilities
i like all the custom familiar resting locations
trobbio my goat 🙏
It feels like they added base kit stun when hit, so that with frenzy you can be locked in place for a full half a second taking BARRAGES of damage, neither able to walk or dash away and not allowed to attack or cast or hex
that only happens with a few specific attacks
The soggy shamblers' pathetic falls over on u attack in biome 2????
they did not add base kit stun when hit lol
who the hell is soggy shambler 😭
rare miniboss, only have 0.1% of encountering it
I know the basic zombies get different encyclopedia entries, i know both surface and underground biome is water so the biome 2 shambler is named something about wetness
But the basic-est enemies in biome 2 sneaking up behind me when I'm smashing the big biome 3 mechs (vow of next biome enemies) and interrupting my hammer smash so I can't dodge the other big mech's ten thousand rapid lasers attack
Which holds me in place long enough to eat the first mech's light saber tornado attack and a dragon spewing fire over me
Extended duration stunlock from a whole cluster things that, like, shouldn't stun in the first place? In a run where I never saw a chaos gate so didn't have the "stunlock my whole situation up fam" curse
bro has a cursed version of hades 2
It’s just sea-shambler I believe?
Huhh? Did I read something wrong -
I had a different curse just a couple days ago 😭😭😭 I already reinstalled over never seeing the mini shops mid-biome for like ten runs and I've consistently seen one(1) across whole runs since
On steam deck
Gave me the dark souls 2 poise instead
Frr man I keep counting days like a toddler excited for their favourite movie
days until we can pet the damn dog
true but we’re pretty much guaranteed 2 new keepsakes
hopefully a 3rd to fill out the cabinet
they're gonna release 4 of them, and the extra one just gonna lay around the crossroad, gonna have to do a scavenger hunt every time you want to equip it
eris keeps moving it around whenever mel is gone for the night to annoy her
peak game design
wish they would also put patch notes out
patch notes will drop at the same time as the update itself
i want them now
😡
now would be the good time
Close the entire discord first
log out too
the one with the 67 all weapons will be given the 1.0 build before all the others
When the v1.0 will be released, all our progress in the early patch we have till now will be deleted?
No. Only zsand and void lenses
Ok thanks a lot for the info!!
If they leave empty slots in the cabinet again ISTG I'll appear on the news
ban everyone, then post the patch notes on the discord only
outstanding move
"Florida man runs naked through neigbourhound, firing a gun and screaming about" WHY DID YOU LEAVE IT EMPTY" More on that in the 5 O clock news"
Or, alternatively, appearance in the city news bulletin gamer enjoys a release of a new game "I wish they'd completed this menu to look neat, but whatever, I'm having fun". And now, on the topic of the neighbourhood granny, who's cat is lost, once again
good ending 🥹
is Hades safe for work? The premise of the game is to defeat yo dad also being your boss
(I dont think the workplace will think this is safe for them)
She is so beautiful
Especially when she's flustered
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1385897089460076597/1417823262892757062/image.png?ex=68cbe24f&is=68ca90cf&hm=96bf5e1716daadb152e54363f1930ae3f52bf04323c13eda91e49c5d1255ac57 I swear this lass laughed so much when shes cursing our ahh like she defly enjoys doing it
If you think about it that forehead must be huge 
have you seen The Ghoul from Fallout amazon show?
No I didn't
they nerfed Poly's command grab
Hades 1 is that, yes, however hades 2 is different
Hades 2 is qhite safe for work id say
Hades 2 is overthrowing an evil guy who stole his son's company to turn it into a war hunger organization
Yes, fulfilling your duty, performing the same near impossible task until you get the result you want
Think about it, add a few deadlines, like the fear, and suddenly it is not only safe for work, its recommended
yes protecting your family whos are known to destroy human's life for their own entertain and fight against the people who wants to make a change
Olympus: Toxic workplace
Chronos: Union
Yup, so hades 2 is definitely sfw
How much of hades one should i have played in order to play hades 2?
ideally you'd have beaten the game, but hades 2 is set up so that you don't have to play hades 1
I did beat the game
Got the main ending, is that enough?
more or less yeah. All you really need from h1 is that mom is home and back as queen
epilogue has some implications in h2 but its mostly fluff
like the olympians came to visit etc
but its mentioned in h2 anyway so who cares
so I just noticed something
why was Ares not shown in the trailer if all the other gods were? (excluding Hades obviously)
My queen
spoilers since he is a lategame unlock
More than enough
hmm, so is Athena
by the time you get to her you're usually a few runs in
tinfoil hat theory, they heard our feedback that ares sucks and just like the familiar incantation we complained about they are just gonna cut him from the game
Or maybe he is switching sides in the 1.0 story stuff
"his boons all suck cause he was sabotaging us"
since when does ares suck. is this a high fear thing
pretty much since launch and repeated nerfs after new toy syndrome wore off
the one good thing he has currently is HA
Sword drops have been nerfed via the duo, as they now drop less swords innately so "doubling" the swords is less damage
Blood drops are ass, and now are capped
I dont think they will rework ares, but if they do, id be so happy
His sprite and his voice r so good but most of the time id rather getting any other boon
wounds are .... ok? but are more of a means to an end to get stuff like double damage going
Ares exists for his minicrits and thats about it
huh
Overly reliant on his legenday to make blood drops playable
His magick is a joke, reused and nerfed one of the worst magicks in the gmae that got reworked for a reason(flood gain, but worse)
his posiedon duo boon was nerfed
his aphro duo boon was nerfed, cause hearthrobs can't have anything remotely viable apparently
his ares-demeter duo boon was nerfed for circe cause it was too strong to have double casts following you
Hey, so I just started my run and got steady growth as my second boon, and now have the option to take bridal glow, having a 50% chance of making it heroic. I read somewhere that the heroic version of steady growth was bugged, this should be fixed, right?
And beside that, it already is epic. Would you consider it worth it taking this risk or should I just go for hitch on cast? 😄
I don't recall steady growth being bugged at heroic
BUT i do recall something along the lines of rarifying steady growth resetting the countdown
so if you were like 1 room away it would reset to 3 or 4 whatever heroic countdown is
It would go to 3, and it currently is at 3, so nothing to fear there
then no real reason to not take it unless theres a big im not aware of
Hitch on cast is very good for cc, especially for oceanus
But at the same time, if you're at the beginning of the run, like location 3, upgrading to heroic will snowball so much it'd be a waste to not do so
Well I could instead just take hitch on cast to get my second debuff on enemies, which is the safe way. If I take bridal glow it could also just upgrade my attack from epic to heroic which is not bad of course, but worse than just going the safe route
Yeah that was what I was thinking
Oh well, I will go for it. Wish me luck it upgrades the right one haha
Nope. I got the attack upgraded 🫠
Wait, can steady growth upgrade itself?
That'd be weird, but I've no concrete answer to that question
I believe so.
Well I am in the first region on the surface, so I can take 3 encounters giving me no boons, so after this I still only have two boons, one of which already is heroic, the other being the epic steady growth
So I would think it should upgrade itself then - let's see
Okay nope, it just gained levels 😅
So it wont upgrade itself
not since the last balance patch
(unless its the only option)
· Steady Growth (Demeter): now will only Rarify itself if you have no other eligible Boons
what was the other options it had
flame flourish, already heroic
I think it granted flame flourish leves though
I do not think I upgraded it with anything and it is on lvl 3 now
you said you gained levels, that means it rarified bridal glow
which gives another pom
its not just core boons its ANY boon
I forgot bridal glow still stays as a boon, even though it technically only has an effect once
you can sell it for cash, thats why
fair enough
Ohh man, I was so hyped to not only get my first epic steady growth, but also even getting it to heroic
Well I guess I can still be happy about it activating every 4 instead of 6 encounters
Just 8 days lol
I might be dumb, but how good is slow cooker? +2 power per fire boon does not seem all too much
I have 5 fire boons atm, and can either take this or freeze burner
if you asked 3 months ago it was the most broken boon in the game due toa bug
man , ive always avoided the kings ransom , untill this run, ive never had such high lvl boons lol
but as intended slow cooker is just... kinda ok? its flat power based on fire but fire people don't really.... WANT power.
Well if it is a bug, then it does not really count, does it? 😄
it counts when it added power to EVERYTHING in the game
so +2 flat damage to literally anything
fire walk? +2 damage per power.
Gusts that tick every .2 seconds? +2 damage stacking
etc
Okay but would quality air not be even more powerful then?
I mean they removed its dmg upgrade from scorch, but still in combination with gusts it works, doesnt it?
*Air quality I meant
no because air quality is the literal last thing in the damage step
Air quality is "if the damage isn't 50, make it 50"
power is before ANY % damage boosts etc
Ah so you could go way higher than just 50 with slow cooker?
more that you can get 50 damage with like.... any number of variations of % damage boosts
But like, assuming you got like 8 fire boons, with slow cooker that would be +16 power
16 flat damage added to the calculation yes
You would need to at least double or even tripple this to get over the 50 dmg
You're forgetting % damage boosts and the base damage of the abilities
of course neglecting the starting dmg
avoiding damage in this game is so freaking hard. fighting Prometheus just now I had a good fight, but I still took 180 damage. even on the memory game, I couldn't get from top to bottom fast enough, and there were some attack combinations I just couldn't dodge out of fast enough. like a circle of fire where he then kicked into the only space I could run.
Lets take a epic demeter sprint
16 base damage + 16 power =32.
Origination is VERY easy to activate so thats %50 damage.
Furies is VERY easy to activate, so another 30%
That alone is 80% damage, so we're doing over 50 damage already just off arcana, let alone literally anything else you get that run
If you struggle with moving across the map you should stay close to the top / bottom since the distance is shorter
I guess I will just take freezer burn then?
which yeah now slow cooker is just back to being mid. Its ok but like most infusions its just supplemental stuff t your run
I mean I am ridiculously strong as is, everything else is just win more at this point
now I'm fighting ||spawn of typhon|| and it's 10x worse. how tf are you supposed to avoid these attacks? you're in a tiny arena with fast attacks that cover the entire room and there's nowhere to freaking go. I always end up losing 1 or more DDs to the stupid minibosses in the final region.
In order
1- The memory game failure is a skill issue. When i tested it to myth break you literally have enough time(assuming frenzy zero) to walk with one singular dash across the arena when the memory game is on opposite sides
2- You can avoid every single one of proms attacks, most involve dodging through him not AWAY.
like a circle of fire where he then kicked into the only space I could run.
Sounds like you should've known that he spawns the circle of fire at your location and yknow.... not corned yourself.
now I'm fighting spawn of typhon and it's 10x worse. how tf are you supposed to avoid these attacks? you're in a tiny arena with fast attacks that cover the entire room and there's nowhere to freaking go. I always end up losing 1 or more DDs to the stupid minibosses in the final region.
I too used to think spawn was BS. Then i saw how other players did the fight and realized that he is timing based and has incredibly easy tells. He does a 3 hit sequence, dash through him, dash through him. dash through his AOE stomp, punish during his animation CD
UPLOAD JUMPSDCARE
i actually found moving away from DD into strength gave me way more many wins due to the extra dmg being so muchb
in fact i hadnt even got to typhoon b4 i swapped to str
the game does an incredibly bad job of teaching players how to approach the fights. if you try "dodging through" some bosses and attacks like polyphemus or, yes, Prometheus, you get hit for huge damage. and how do you "dash through" his aoe?
if you're talking about using the iframes on dodge to avoid damage, that's honestly kinda garbage.
You dash through the boss before their animation finished and they are attacking the side you arne't pon
NEW SONG DROPPED
so you're saying that the game demands you learn every animation down to the frames for every boss? that doesn't seem reasonable...
99% of games today involve using dodge iframes to avoid damage??
No, im saying that the game expects you as a player to learn what bosses do.
You don't need to perfectly iframe dodge these things
lmao. sweaty tryhard souls games maybe, sure.
He only has so many moves and they slowly expand as the phase changes
Dude
have you tried godmode
He does 1/2/3 moves in a row in phases 1/2/3
Prometheus is tough! He moves incredibly fast, he has a huge variety of attacks, he cuts off large chunks of the arena by lighting it on fire, he summons that gosh dang bird…
BUT he has some patterns! And once you know the patterns and how to properly dodge his moves, he's not so bad.
0:00 Preamble
2:15 Phase 1 (Flashy move, then pause)
3:57...
You can either play at a distance waiting for them to resolve, or be more aggressive like you seem to want to be and punish him
but if you aren't good that latter strategy won't work
play safer, learn the tells of the bosses like... most games this age
I'm not talking about what bosses do. I'm saying if the only way to avoid an attack is to dodge through it on the exact right window, and the game doesn't really teach the player how to do that, that's lame. and very different from the first game.
I compensate for my bad dodges by seeing it as a life tax. I'm not kidding
Its not, im telling you how i tend to solve it
Like, i plan and put aside HP as a way to go through Prom
the first game also included iframing through a lot of attacks idk man
most bosses with an AOE type dash move that follows u want u to be pre dashing so u get caiught in iut, if ur patiennt u will see the pause just b4 it fitres and can dodge out i t
Dad spear spin
excuse my typing 🙁
For the move you are describing from prom you can either
A- bait out his attack and run away
B- dash through him
C- poke from range until hes forced to do the attack and you can dodge it normally
etc
and that totally works. I've cleared 8 fear on both routes by just stacking enough health. but in H1, I could actually avoid the damage. taking away the double dodge and then making the enemies faster and giving them more aoes was certainly a choice...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HADES FIRST OF THE NAME
i just want Eurydice grotto back and my life would be complete tbh
PLEASE
For the move you're describing against the spawn of typhon you can
A- bait him into walls
B- dash through him to punish the attacks(NOT iframing, literally just dashing through him when his attacks are cose
C- use the breakable terrain
D-dash last second to the left/right
etc
and more depending on your weapon and build
Yeah but now there are no mini self destructo chariots coming to chase after you
Eeeewwwwwww
he destroys all the walls, no?
eventually yes
I legitimately don't understand how "it is WAY harder to avoid damage now that enemies are faster and we don't have a double dodge (or 50% dodge chance) and reliable Athena" is a spicy take.
but its good to keep distance for the first half of the fight
its more that you are refusing to engage with the game as designed. Yes, it IS infact harder now that you can't just sit in a corner with shield up 24/7, or athena deflect everything thats not a spicy take
also is it just me or did they just not list a time in #announcements
they don't seem to be live right now so...
They did not
2.0 tomorrow
ugh. got stuck in a corner. tried to dash across to the right, and it turns out she can't do that. the room design definitely compounds the movement problems. https://imgur.com/a/mxJxzeI
You are right and wrong imo. You are right, in that Hades 2 IS harder than Hades 1 mechanically. You are wrong for complaining about said difficulty (imo). Plenty of video games are praised for trial and error learning, and just because you cannot damage trade a boss, does not mean it is bad.
Fixed the language. Sorry for the more judgmental nature of correct and incorrect
yeah this is a valid complaint
you should absolutely be able to dash over the fountain
woohoo! I'll take it! one valid complaint let's goooo
i would argue however that cornering yourself was a problem on your end in the first place, but i originally expected to dodge there too
(granted i did it to try and move to the other door exit)
god damn why are you so rich
got a chaos boon and poseidon boon I didn't actually want for more money, and then haven't had anything to spend it on.
i'd ask if you didn't buy at the hermes shop but you clearly did 😭
bro is mr moneybags
oh god this damn fountain has repeatedly pissed me off
we pray that this is actually the midfountain in disguise at 1.0
🙏
i just remembered, did the game have an incantation for a tartarus midfountain?
yes
its side room only
i know
on suface i have en empty shop spot in the mid areas after bosses, is this an unlock im missing?
i always took every sideroom before seriously grinding fear
idk what the chances are but its like >3 depth or something and can't be the 1st side room
we're expecting it to be added in 1.0
theoretically yes at 1.0
now currently no.
aha ty 😄
shop slot will just be Zag sitting on a sofa chair asking if everything is going well
its actually dio when we bulli him into taking part in the war
"fine but im not leaving this chair"
there's a video called something like "Let's Not Get Hit by Prometheus" that's pretty useful
goes through his whole moveset and how to avoid
what would you say is the most forgiving/beginner friendly build and weapon?
Oh, should have scrolled, someone already linked it
depends HOW beginner
ive gotten to chronos in the underworld with with the small staffs
not beaten phase 2 though
Like if you don't have hera unlocked fine line o-attack spam on torch isn't gonna work for example
hera ?
Shes unlocked after you're able to play on the 2nd route

Lyrics:
Fates
We...
Simple enough then
Take Mel torch(Or moros, but that gets a bit more complicated weaving in o-specials)
Take hera keepsake
Take born gain first, fine line as soon as you can get it
Take as much magick pot rooms as you can to increase your max magick
Take any of the following gods in the pursuit of their omega enhancement boons: Posiedon(also has a duo boon that makes this better)/Ares/Demeter/Athena
Hold down attack button in the general direction of the enemy
win
i dunno if anything else is more braindead than that, it used to be pan which was simple and strong but now just feels clunky
Circe maybe? borderline melee playstyle is more risky though
You can take Zeus keepsake though for Lightning Lance + Storm Ring
I mean I only had issues with chronos and promethius 😛
yeah fine line magick spam is literally the i win button since its ranged and high damage for the most part
I think a big issue with my playstyle overall is I never use that spell on Q button 😅
I assume this is the non-Rivals versions?
Ive never beat them
yeah for general rooms literally just spam that button 24/7
Ah. Ok. How far have you gotten into the fights?
there is never a downside to using it basekit
it has near zero animation, zero cooldown(other than it not being allowed to spawn twice) and is INSANE levels of mob cc
And also is there a specific attack that is troublesome?
chronos I got to phase 2 I think its called
With the clock arena?
And for Phase 2, I’d recommend as a start that you recognize the two instakills (if you haven’t already). One has a golden circle safe spot at one of the 12 hour marks, and the other has you stand around the middle ish of the arena.
Ok. Don’t try to rush Chronos down. You can put him into Phase 2.2 during the Instakill duration, but it’s very risky, and more often than not requires White Antler as a keepsake (which I would really not recommend doing for your first clear).
Play it safely with the instakills
would the sash be the best?
Make sure you have some DDs when you reach him if possible
nah, just facetank it, trust 
Oh wait not everyone plays with DDs
Armor can protect you from the instakill, but for a first clear, I’d recommend you take Pin if you have Death Defiances, or Knuckle Bones if you have Strength.
so what ways are there? the cat, a keepsake anything else?
NPCs can give you DD refills
forgot to gift athena 😭
||Narcissus, Echo, and Athena are the characters with DD refills||
Yeahh she can refill all DD
also if you have enough gold, charon's shop can have DDs
Errrr two keepsakes, one you will get later on I think? The cat works well too if you have her level up
||how to get the echo one? Ive met echo like 5 times atleast but no gift option||
Ah- is not her keepsake its the boon
You need to have at-least 1 empty Death Defiance
what are the thoughts on strength vs dd with the current values? I've been playing with strength but I'm not that confident in the choice
Strength feels pretty bad as a defensive option but the dmg increase is still great. Overall its gonna be your confidence in how much damage youll be taking
i would say usually supay, especially since it's easy to pick up. moros has the best damage output if you understand how the aspect works though
Theoretically strength is always better if you just don't die 4head cause its free damage
In reality, DD's are almost always better now post nerf to strength
supay? is the the mel ones?
I still use strength cuz i like it more. So sad that they've nerfed it so much 💔
At low fear + low experience, you need the safety dd's provide you
At higher fears scars nuke strengths relevancy and almost every bug that bypasses scars has been fixed
It depends on Fear level and type of run.
Speedruns prefer Strength
But for fear for the average player…
- Death > Strength for first clear up to like… 8 fear, maybe.
- Strength > Death all the way up until around 50 Fear when you have learned and can basically clear a 0 fear run 100% of the time
- Death > Strength from about 51 to 62 Fear when you are forced to take Pain, and Scars 3
- But Strength > Death on some aspects because some aspects don’t do enough damage to go through the Time Gates of Erebus, Rival Eris, and Olympus / Rival Prom
- Strength > Death at 65 Fear, because Judgement will roll Death eventually, and you can get that extra damage in.
dw about it yet if you don't recognize it
at low fear + high experience strength is better cause well you're not dying anyway
if you find yourself winning runs with 2-3 dd's and didn't athena refill them its time to switch
I got rank V on aspect of mel but I can unlock the Moros ones
you could use mel torches, although moros is quite a bit better if you know how to use it. just... stay away from eos
for the mana dump i was talking about?
no what aspect is better
Eos was my favorite aspect before torch rework 💔
Eos and Moros are probably the two strongest torches right now
Debatable, but moros is likely the best torch
Eos if they buff it at all might have a claim at 1.0
like giving it hidden helix back
Yeah, I think literally any semi-meaningful buff to Eos will make it the best torch.
Like some people say that Night cycling is required for Eos, but it isn’t. You can just play the aspect straight with Hera / Zeus Attack + Scorch Special, and kill everything (Pyro Technique + Burning Desire later on for boss killing).
Perhaps. I just don’t usually like changing my setup. I’ve had to only change my setup once now for 62 clears (my most recent Artemis traded Boatman for Artificer Huntress just to get out of Erebus)
And I still kept the kitty
Oh, speaking of.. I’ve been stuck for the past 30 minutes trying to figure out a thumbnail for this thing. I don’t care if it’s memes… any suggestions for some Artemis video?
go yoink some artemis fanart
I don’t want to just plaster her on the thumbnail. Though I did do that with Charon, and somehow that was the best performing video for me as of late.
It was a 62 Fear clear, wherein I didn’t take Trick Knives.
an artemis boon or huntress
Ah.
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS03e0Br1ir0ZKf62TXd6YeYXLFoAwXI6Op8A&s
Replace this with chronos on the left and a frame of artemis parrying an attack on the right
Ah. Perfect
Does anyone know when the livestream is?
I was thinking of just taking the Eternity picture of Chronos though
clickbait the new 1.0 trailer
with him all fangy
assume its gonna be like the livestream a year ago, so like noonish EST
What about the day it’ll be?
or like 30m give or take an hour
presumably.... literally today
aka the anniversary
Aight so I can watch the vod when I get home 😌
Give me a few minutes
I wish there was a satisfying parry mechanic in this game 🥀
Closest we got is Athena
do we know when this anniversary stream will happen?
Nope, which is annoying!
I don't see a time on their youtube page
https://imgur.com/4aeC4oz https://imgur.com/H3wsY3r possible frames
twitch title just changed
so i confirm its today, likely soon
That second picture is what I need I think
I got a terrible idea.
Yeah they said it's today, or at least heavily implied it was today for the anniversary of Hades
clearly you dont own an air fryer
So scawy- ACHILLES IS MORE THREATENING THAN YOUUUU
Also hi everyone
or if you want him cool https://imgur.com/fEgUqqV
I do like his fit tho
This gif here, and others make me kind of cringe
I had an idea to do something like this for that second photo
Man I can’t wait for the 1.0 cooking minigame where we make tasty meals to help grandpa put on some weight
He looks like he hasn’t eaten since the last century
Uhh question, does Island Getaway affect Glamour Gain Magick regeneration effect too? I see the Weak is applied, but did not notice if the Magick regen gets affected too
Probably because he hasn’t eaten since the last century
Yep
Dude skipped breakfast, lunch, and dinner to be the chef that “serves revenge”
You still have mana regen cooldown when you spend it
Well… wait would they have.. WAAAAIITTT
GUYS GUYS GUYS
Chronos when he sees the child shaped steak: 🤤
IF KRONOS IS BASED OFF EGYPTIAN THINGS
WHEN THE OLYMPIANS TOOK HIM DOWN, DID THEY MUMIFY HIM? LIKE TAKE OUT ALL HIS ORGANS ETC?
Ohh, neat!
Which in both Egypt and Greece was taboo because the culture and religion said it would prevent the cut up one from going to the afterlife
I do love the kintsugi too
Well that’s kinda what they wanted haha
The Egyptian practice of sealing broken pottery together with GOLLDD
I found sources that it was both
Huh guess i was wrong, thanks for the correction:)
also do trials give any benefit other than the dust?
Not really
a sense of achievement
they unlock other incantations and stuff but its all chaos trial related
and stardust is used in recipes, such as making more pet treats or moondust iirc
so... yes
I mean there’s other aspects of his design that are Egyptian
its unlocks stuff?
behind the scenes bascally everything unlocks other stuff yes
It’s kinda crazy how I’ve done speeds and high fear but I still haven’t gotten around to knocking all the trials out 😭
what exactly i couldn't tell you for sure but im fairly sure its just more chaos trials, replaying chaos trials and like bonds for chaos
wouldn't be shocked if theres something else tied to chaos trial completions though
There’s prophecies
Ok, I am done with the video thumbnail, I think
Lowkey i find chaos trials (minus the completely random ones) boring
they are neat little excursions
certainly a worthy addition to the game, but not exactly replayable
which kinda sucks but w.e
I think i have about 8 that i didnt complete
i had hopes for a seed system for sharable community chaos trials but i doubt thats happening
Because they feel like the same biome run
A good old "sense of pride and accomplishment"?
But maybe thats just me being picky idk
Oh wait… I just saw a better thumbnail idea. Hang on…
i think chaos trials are good for the casual player to see like the sorts of builds they intend to work
cuz yeah making your own builds and figuring it out on your own is best, if there’s aspects you don’t use or are unfamiliar with, it could be a good starting point
I havent looked at all the steam achievements tbh so ive been assuming therell probably be one tied to the chaos trials
I just hope they update the ones based around stuff that doesn’t exist anymore
they already did.
Just.... not as good as i would hope
Sad
the golden rule trial for instance now has paid dues
nevermind the fact that has nothing to do with posiedon/hera
or they removed the boons that give more money
theyre fun for vets too because they're usually "dream" builds that you might have been chasing for several runs and just cant get lucky enough for
but it IS still money focused
Sasuke has bong water??
yea
Crazy
Ok, no. I’ll go with the first one, I guess.
I’ll upload the video I guess on the hour, and share the thumbnail here.
that would be so sick but sg seems to have their hands full already 😭 theres sm more i want from 1.0 which is crazy because h2 already has so so much more content than h1
IF ONLY you could farm specific resources from chaos trials like when you need 12 marble or iron for hidden aspects 😔
At least it provides a good place to put the entrance for modded content
8 dddddddaaaaaayyyyyysssss
I draw him so much
AWeeesooooommmmeeee
Okay hear me out, the song “whats my name” from descendants
The lyric “no ones gonna stop us so the world will be ours” is so lionflame coded
@orchid acorn Thank you, and You are welcome
https://youtu.be/elEevKSimag?si=mRJplwPMXhYL8wbo
So somehow this is my fastest 62 Fear clear, ever. This is probably because Reaper Knives + Hera Special is super strong, and the two duos I get between Zeus, Demeter, and Apollo (Hail-Storm and Tropical Cyclone) are fantastic supporting damage tools.
I did have to trade Boatman out for Artificer and Huntress like Boated did because the base ki...
lmfao
me when someone mentions olympus aflame and i have no choice but to listen to olympus aflame again its compulsive
LMAO
a
I was torn between this frame, and the one where he had all his teeth out, but that felt a bit much
This one is just right into showing Chronos be mentally stable /s
What keepsake should i give for the nectar?
Lionflame art
Lionflame art
My actual hades oc’s keepsake after im done drawing it
Or lionflame art
I love how animal-esque Chronos looks in the trailer we never get to SEE how terryfying he is but the trailer really sells it as Melinoe Paralysis Sleep Demon
Omg he is a sleep paralysis demon
Yes
Somebody draw him as the spot and my 62 fear run is yours
I see it now
BET. Which scene
True, but I also really was hoping for snarky Chronos. Like yeah, he’s an evil monster who shaped Mel into a child soldier, but like…. His dialogue isn’t often that
Pelase dont make do a 62 fear run
THE scene
The final one??
Yes
There’s like 3 bits of dialogue I can think of where he acts a bit more up to par. 1. Is his flashback with Hades, and the other two are his anger outbursts of moments like “WELL THEY FAILED!”, and “Why did you not prevent it?”
The “fill the holes with more holes?”
Which scenee
I mean like in that style
THATS THE SCENE I JUST SAID, NO?
No. That’s a scene where he figures out his powers
This scene I believe is when he tells Miles “It’s our future” ominously
See you back home Spiderman
Spot is gonna get miles home, i bet
I do not remember those frames from Across the Spider-Verse.
But I also wasn't wearing my glasses when I saw it.
I just want to see Chronos as Mel Paralysis Demon
Ares or Artemis chat
B e t
Artemis.
Were you saying you were gonna do a 62 Fear run for the artwork? 
OH god please dont do it 
Anything but the 62 fear
62 fear no Arcana lets gooo
Well that’s just 67
You don have to win the run
I just want want to see you try
Ouh, why not on the surface?
IM dying to hecate f
Welll 5 points "for free" to reduce to 62 fear lmfao
I have my own biases against 62 Surface. Typhon can take a DD off in a single hit, and Prom is a meaty wall of HP
No. If you were to die, it would probably be to Timer
OHHHHHhh yeah
62 UW requires you get like… 3 room skips or a sacrifice of all DDs with a near perfect Hecate
I hate timer so much
And then you have the rest of UW, which isn’t as tight on Timer except for probably Cerberus and definitely Chronos
And even with 3 room skips, you have to still get solid boons early on
In contrast, Surface has an Erebus of its own in Mount Olympus
I see I thought Circe is like- extra bad there, which I misunderstood
No. I said Circe staff, because it’s like… the best weapon to try 62 with for a newcomer.
Medea does more damage, but it’s much less safe imo
I see I see got it
With Circe do you do the "same combo" as witch one? dash strike into a special?
In fact, I named myself this username, cause Circe staff was the weapon I used for basically every benchmark past 32. 40, 50, and 62.
Yes, but you do want to position the cast well enough
I have two videos of me clearing 50 Fear with all rivals, and I do have a 62 Fear clear, but compared to even some of my less clean 62s, it by far is the least clean.
I said I’d stop after Nyx 62, and Artemis 62, but maybe I’ll do a redo of Circe 62.
But also plenty of others have done Circe 62, included Boated who just uploaded a Circe 65 clear.
If anyone wants to do a 62 before 1.0 releases therefore, Circe is the best weapon to attempt it imo.
Hmmm if so on the surface route, what would you say its the most consistent/safest weapon/aspect?
I am trying something stupid with 50 fear surface but I doubt I can do it before 1.0 
Hmmmm… Circe or Medea again feels right. Surface requires you to get a higher peak of a build, so Medea may be better just for damage against Timer.
Though for the few who have done it, I still think Circe may have more clears at 62
Gotchaa maybe I will seriously give Circe a try then
Medea feels hard to use, very
Actually… at Surface, the aspect that has the most clears at 62 is Mel Staff, at 3 players
This is assuming that there is no duplicate player runs counted
Imo you should play Nyx
Why’s that? I never knew you were a fan of that aspect. Never used it personally
/s.
medea isn't safe for someone that doesn't know all the enemy attack patterns
the aspect feels braindead easy for us but you have to realize it's actually tough to use for casual
I don't know if anyone else feels like this, but what stops me from taking most of artemis's boons is the "chance" that it might inflict critical damage. - it either is or it is not. - I don't really like being forced to take a boon that has a "chance" to activate or not.
I know. But also I feel like an exception because I keep dashing in a bad way..
the "chance" will still occur regularly throughout your run, it's a good addition
Like I’ve done so well with Persephone, but somehow Medea is just not it for me.
Medea is probably the hardest weapon for me, but that's a huge skill issues on my part
if you pick a boon room in the last part of underground instead of a number one, does it get harder?
Saitama or Mel with 100% Dodge Chance lmfao
watching that run or ateris daggers really shows how trash i am at this game lol
i feel like Nemmis probably did after that zone 1 encounter
If I saw their coding for the boon, I'd probably understand it more and it will make sense. - because then I'll be able to work out how often it activates and how they work out that % chance in the coding. but we aren't privy to any of that information so I guess i'll never know lol
like whats the difference if I pick a poseidon room or the III room?
Tartarus gets harder the longer you stay in it.
chronos too?
all regions get harder the longer you are in them
I don't know, but I think he doesn't.
the boss doesn't, its just a roomdepth mechanic that spawns more enemies
oh then Im not skipping boons
5 rooms in a row = roomdepth6 (cause the starter room is room1)
Vs if you do like 3 side rooms is 9depth
technically.. but even when I have maximum fear on hordes it still feels easy to me lol
Hades side room also increases the depth, or did
ALL rooms do
full rooms anyway im not positive on how ephyra side rooms interact with depth, let alone rerouting through crossroads and the room again
stream is live btw, not like doing anything yet but live
Kinda. He certainly tops Than, but Meg tops everyone.
Miss me with that bisexuality
sound on stream noway
Thanatos is fugly
thantos looking like hes part of a kpop band and about to drop some bars
You’re so right. We should kill him
Wait they got his chiton wrong where’s his right tit
He’s not showing enough skin
This is a weird question, I'm trying to make something but I can't find transparent pngs for Xinth or any of it's aspects, the wiki has them for every other weapon but not that one, is there anywhere I could find them?
you should show them how its done meow, do a cosplay with full tit
Cosplay meg then
I remember seeing Thanatos front facing portrait in hades 1 for the first time and It scared me lol
Ha!
I wanted to date hypnos insread in h1 🤧
YOU GET ME
Not even like, for me! I feel that Hypnos and Zag have so much more in common, and they kinda sorta flirt, and there was such great potential there
And then Zag had to be such an ass
Tbh, I have no idea where they got the PNGs (I assume the game’s files), and I was hoping to also do something with them.
I guess go ask the specific users who made the other PNGs, because there are names listed in the wiki
that sounds like an exercise in futility to track down wiki editors ngl
Found with a quick search
Hypnos in H1 was my greatest disappointment because you have this story about generational trauma and parental abuse and emotional neglect. And then you have Hypnos, a character affected by generational trauma and parental abuse (Nyx goes out of her way to socially isolate him because she views him as unlovable to an extent) and emotional neglect, and you make fun of him
not at home so i can't find more but ill keep digging in other areas
what did you search thank you
integrating this into my lexicon btw
other servers that shall not be named
fair
but there should be a file with all the icons transparent
wot does the glitterball that shows up sometimes do? is it just like "lets party?" lol
you took figleaf
ah actually after looking at the aspects thats where that came from, I need the actual weapon like how I can find witch's staff and it's 3 reskins 
it skips the encounter for that room, like 33% chance
aha ok ty
Yesss i felt bad for him bro, i think he was one of the more sympathetic characters 🤧
you mean like. the model?
I hope whatever happens with him now is like, very interesting, im very excited
It definitely does not make up for how the story treats him at the start, but at least Zag, Than, and Hades all have the stance of "We were wrong about him, he's good at what he does and it's okay he is who he is," by the end of the game.
I don't remember Nyx ever moving past "I gave up on him."
yeah sorry, the in game model. Like I said on the wiki you can find it for every other weapon, including their aspect reskins
Hades is actually the only character that actually compliments Hypnos and sees value in his individual personality and not just his work ethic
you'd have to extract it with the tools shown in the modding server, or you could ask there for them to do it for you afaik. See the pins in #self-promotion
Which is also interesting! Zag’s abusive dad sees value in the black sheep of Nyx’s family
Aw, okay.
She says she’ll check in again in a few millennia
Which. Ouch
im just watching that arti 62 fear run and he ditches his DD after Cerby? why would he do that?
Damn, Nyx.
If that was me, it’s because of Renewed Faith
Renewed Faith DDs are more powerful than regular DDs, to trigger the Gorgon Amulet I need all of my DDs gone, and I lost the DDs after Cerberus instead of in Tartarus to save time on the Timer
oh ok 🙂 so much depth to this game lol. TY really fun to watch this run
Spoiler alert, though I do clear it, my Chronos fight was not as clean as the rest of the bosses and regions
I genuinely did not expect to have such a good set of boss fights prior to Chronos. Usually I may lose all of my DDs to Hecate or Sirens.
Yet I held onto 3 by Cerberus.
yeah just watching the end of it now, the hecete fight looks so BUSY, i could hardly see what was happening just watching it let alone playing it
The hex I got for that run is probably one of the easier ones to avoid. The worst of them is probably the Lunar Ray, because you have 3 laser walls that spin, and 3 very fast Twilight curse balls chasing you.
im still trying to get my second statue 🙂 keep failing at sorting out a decent gain
With enough practice, I know you can do it! 
I remember when I felt like it was impossible to get 32, or 50, or 62.
Now I feel….. semi-competent at the near-highest difficulty
ive gone from my first typoon kill 2 working on second statue in a couple of days, so heres hoping
or not even fuirst typhoon first promethus , he is hardest boss while learning him but his not bad now
