[meager garden]

because I beat her

[crude dragon]

🅰️

[rapid osprey]

godhome in fromsoft games is mandatory atp

please Michael Zaki

[oak ivy]

elden ring is rough to replay because collecting all of those crimson tear flasks and golden seeds every time is so tedious 😔

it feels like homework........

or those things in the DLC too

[meager garden]

this is why sekiro remains my favorite, I don't gotta collect nothing basically

[oak ivy]

true true...

[rapid osprey]

I've replayed it like 20+ times so I can get everything collected within like 30 mins. My average ER replay takes like 18-20 hours including dlc and all optional fights

[oak ivy]

that still sounds like a lot..

[meager garden]

yeah I want like a 2-3 hour clear

[rapid osprey]

I also don't bother collecting every single upgrade at the very start of the game and play it more linearly like the other souls games so the progression feels more natural than front loaded

[oak ivy]

I don't have everything memorized in Elden Ring.. I only played the one character the entire time haha

[rapid osprey]

plus I don't need them healing upgrades when I don't plan on getting hit at all 😤

main thing that keeps me coming back to ER is boss and build variety. There's always something new for me to try in that game whereas in sekiro and ds3 I have already played with everything multiple times

[oak ivy]

true true!

[rapid osprey]

That's why silksong is so ideal for me too. Build crafting is like my favorite thing in games

and of course Hades 2 as well

(and we're back on topic now!)

[oak ivy]

omg hades 2, we circled back!

[oak ivy]

haha yes

[rapid osprey]

HAVE ANOTHER

[mossy shuttle]

I’m really curious if Silksong will break the mould for me and I’ll actually do a second play-through

I didn’t for ER or hollow knight or nine sols or blasphemous or any other metroidvania I’ve played

[meager garden]

I've ran it again in streamlined speedy runs, but nothing like 100%ish

I think doing EVERYTHING again would be a bit much

[mossy shuttle]

But I really wanna try playing other crests since I can’t really get used to switching on my main save (reaper crest downward slash my beloved)

[rapid osprey]

I have 2 100% files and am going for the 3rd so I'm probably the wrong person to give an opinion here lmao

[rapid osprey]

also daily reminder that reaper is the most mid crest in the game and is genuine noob bait. Please stop using it and get used to literally anything else. Thanks 👍

/j

[mossy shuttle]

I spent > 70 hrs before I got the first ending so I think it’s perfect for me

[rapid osprey]

if you want a downward slash that bad just use wanderer, witch or shaman

[shell canyon]

Is the v1 update gonna have achievements?

[rapid osprey]

yes

[shell canyon]

That is electric

[rapid osprey]

imo reaper legit makes the game harder lol. lowest dps crest with no cool gimmicks like architect or shaman. I think most of the disdain that people have for gauntlets is because of the fact that reaper is the most popular crest in the game and it is by FAR the worst performing crest on gauntlets. It's almost impressive in a way to beat the game while using nothing but reaper

[merry whale]

whenever u get an achievement chronos will personally show up to ur door

[proud swift]

So excited for 1.0!

[rapid osprey]

Tl;dr: reaper mains please seek help

(daily reaper slander over)

[main lagoon]

So it's true Hades 2 is $30 digitally but somehow $50 physically

[oak ivy]

This is phrased rather aggressively but yes fraud is unfortunately right... 😔

[merry whale]

the physical edition comes with some bonus goodies inside

[main lagoon]

Still not bad but it's the same thing ain't it so why more expensive when it's not limited-run

[merry whale]

like there's a physical art compendium or smth like that

[mossy shuttle]

Aka beating the whole game without using up attack 💔

[rapid osprey]

It's like being a strict parent. I'm being aggressive for your own good

[warm osprey]

is hade 2 v1.o, the final release version? As in no more early access?

We don't have plans for a full CE at this time though appreciate the interest! For what it's worth the physical edition of Hades II has some bonuses including a full-color Character Compendium booklet, downlod code for the original soundtrack, and reversible cover.

[main lagoon]

I remember getting ori will of the wisps for the same digital price and I got a few pictures + the full soundtrack, same price btw

But at least it isn't $70

[oak ivy]

Correct!

[merry whale]

yea still better than whatever nintendo's doing

$80 games then makes a $20 dlc that's ass

[warm osprey]

oo that's quite fast

[oak ivy]

Yeah SGG worked their magic pretty quickly this time

[main lagoon]

Hmmm feels very tempting. Do we know what the "reversible cover" looks like or is

[mossy shuttle]

They started it in 2021 I’m pretty sure?

[rapid osprey]

bananza dlc is so mid. crazy that its the same price as fking silksong

[merry whale]

no idea about that i've never owned a physical edition tbh, tho i did preorder one cuz i want the goodies inside and will prob gift the game to a friend

[oak ivy]

The early access was launched like a year and a half ago

[merry whale]

it comes w downloadable soundtrack too so big plus

[mossy shuttle]

I’m talking about development

[oak ivy]

Well silksong is the exception here in many ways

[oak ivy]

That person was talking about early access time I'm pretty sure

[main lagoon]

I did get sonic frontiers physically and I got a metal disc case but it's basically useless as it was the switch edition, but still cool nonetheless, so perhaps it's something similar

[warm osprey]

👍

[mossy shuttle]

The point is that even if we had a year and a half of EA its been in the works for quite a while

[merry whale]

it's prob a collector's thing then

[rapid osprey]

naw bananza dlc is genuinely a scam lol. like the game is good but that dlc adds like no value to it

[meager garden]

I heard it was pretty fun though

[main lagoon]

It will be hard waiting for physical edition cause it might be like totk or silksong where I'll wait too long and the spoilers will consume me

[merry whale]

like if ur only interested in game then yea go digital, cuz making physical editions naturally will cost more

[warm osprey]

wonder how the storyline gonna reach an ending and tie up all the characters from hade 1 and 2 together

🤔

[main lagoon]

I can play it because my sister thankfully bought it during early access so honestly I might just wait, and maybe even up till Christmas cause I'd probably beat it by then

[merry whale]

fair ye

i'm also hoping the soundtrack download means direct music files,,

[main lagoon]

Probably or hopefully. I would think so

[merry whale]

mhm, they already post their music on bandcamp so i'll assume h2 soundtrack download code will apply to bandcamp

[cursive kayak]

btw red what is ur pfp from?

[candid flume]

Will Hades 2 have cross platform progress with Steam and Switch 2 kinda like Hades 1? Also, does the physical release come with anything other than the game?

[meager garden]

Yes.
I don't think anything special is coming with the game. It is not a keycard, though.

[merry whale]

knights of guinevere

been working on a wip digital fanart for it based on a sketch in my sketchbook

unfortunately college assignments

[oak ivy]

I thought it was katara..... 😭

[merry whale]

how tf

[oak ivy]

Idk why haha

[merry whale]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-say-bleh-gif-26378492

[oak ivy]

That's not a good reaction 💀

[rapid osprey]

how? she doesn't even have the hair loop thingies 😭

[merry whale]

it cuz the skin color /j

[oak ivy]

The style reminded me of avatar I guess....

[merry whale]

not beating the racism allegations

[oak ivy]

I'll just leave 😭

[rapid osprey]

come to think of it, where is your pfp from?

[merry whale]

sry lmao it's just super funny seeing it and going katara

[oak ivy]

no no it's okay haha

[merry whale]

i do recommend watching the knights of guinevere pilot tho, it's really rad and dana terrace is one of the co creators

[oak ivy]

nowhere, it's just a random sketch lol

Every time I have a pfp with a character I like I either get too attached to it or start hating it quickly, so I decided for it to just be a random sketch!

[rapid osprey]

its a pretty good sketch tbh. Is there a reason you haven't colored it?

[oak ivy]

Thank you!
And it's because it was mainly done for some lineart practice etc

[rapid osprey]

I see

[merry whale]

as a digital artist i'm dog at coloring so i just don't

or rather i still do but i hate how i color lolol

[oak ivy]

Fair lol, it is a huuuge rabbit hole to get into

[rapid osprey]

my pfp is just ganondorf bc haha funny face

[lost wing]

unless going for the 100% 30H achievement or something after a casual 100% take-your-time first playthrough

[oak ivy]

Why not have something more.... Personalised? Idk haha

[meager garden]

sigh, I might do this...

[merry whale]

i'm so enamored by nintendo in game design cuz they'll create the most incredible game with the most questionable choices

[meager garden]

totk is one of the games of all time

[merry whale]

i mean i still prefer botw's raw vibes but totk was still cool, i'm just annoyed by how they handled totk's story LOL

[meager garden]

it like, 80% pretends botw doesn't exist lmao

[rapid osprey]

I might eventually! I haven't been using discord or any social media until fairly recently so I never felt the need to actually have a profile

[meager garden]

it's such a weird design choice

[merry whale]

like there's a way to make totk work as a standalone game without making it literally a standalone game

idk at least totk had more uniquely designed dungeons

[lost wing]

have you tried ||Wanderer||? It's very similar for the down-pogo, but a lot faster (like having Quick Slash charm in HK) and a bit less range

[meager garden]

also stuff like ultrahand and your inventory and fuse are so janky

[rapid osprey]

totk was a marvel from a game mechanics perspective but had such a mid story

[oak ivy]

Fraud already typed a whole ass essay about the wanderer earlier there. 😔

[merry whale]

the inventory system has to be under some spaghetti code given how it interacts with the world lmaoo

[meager garden]

why is fusing something to my arrow SO HARD

[rapid osprey]

especially compared to some of the past zelda games like botw and TP

[meager garden]

why do I need to drop something to fuse to my melee??????

[sleek oar]

Wanderer genshin impact?!

[meager garden]

why is mass cooking still so hard?

[sleek oar]

Sorry.

[lost wing]

hadn't scrolled yet

[oak ivy]

🍅

[sleek oar]

I dont play the game anymore leave me alone 🤧

[rapid osprey]

I still can't decide what my favorite zelda game is. I love the story of Twilight princess and skyward, but the gameplay of totk is probably my favorite. Botw and wind waker I just love all around

[sleek oar]

Its too early

[oak ivy]

The original first zelda!!

[rapid osprey]

awe hell naw

[meager garden]

my favorite zelda is hollow knight

[oak ivy]

Wdym?? It pioneered so many cool things

Deltarune Ch. 3 is even inspired by it so much

[rapid osprey]

so did demon souls

[oak ivy]

Okay fair point haha

[rapid osprey]

also deltarune chap 3 version of zelda is much more streamlined and polished compared to the 30 year old first game lol

wind waker is the only old game that still amazes me with how polished it is

[oak ivy]

[rapid osprey]

like even its art style still looks so good to me despite being so graphically outdated

and the game is just fun to play

[sleek oar]

My favorite zelda game is hades 2 comping september 25th

[rapid osprey]

mine is silksong where you play as zelda

[lucid shadow]

melinoe x hornet otp

[oak ivy]

Iselda*?

[crude dragon]

Sigh Bapanada

[marsh spear]

It's this week

[marsh spear]

My brain immediately generated the sound

[modest quartz]

give me a scylla album and my life is yours

[idle cypress]

Can't wait to see "+300 new Scylla songs" in the patch notes

[limpid oar]

They are doing a worldwide Scylla tour after the release right

[oblique basin]

right now h2 is 15 dollars, would it change on 25th? should i buy now or wait 😅

[wooden spire]

15 what dollars ?

the game is at is normal price currently, while I don't think the base price will change on release there will probably be a discount

[sleek turtle]

hi i doing a hades 2 fanart and i was wondering if anyone got a staff image or reference like the weapon

[merry whale]

iirc the 3d model is shown in the aspect selection menu per weapon

it also slowly rotates i think

[marsh spear]

It's just them doing covers of literally every group

🎶 It's raining men🎵

(sailors sinking)

[oblique basin]

i most likely have regional pricing, its 15$ for me on steam

[steel tide]

i really want them to change how the umbral flames omega attack works, the old one use to rapidly fire but they’ve changed it to a 3 hit combo now it’s boring 🙁

[lofty vale]

Yeah but dashing interrupted your omega attacks and often times you couldn't afford to just stand there and fire them without dashing, the new one allows you to both dash around and fire omegas, which I like

[merry whale]

3 days

[muted olive]

Question will the price increase when the game comes out of early access?

Or any discounts planned on release?

[empty abyss]

the price will stay 30 dollars

[empty abyss]

Give it a year or 2 and Steam will prolly have 50% discount.

If you have weak currency issue you can always rent out Hades 2 in your local country store site

[wooden spire]

I meant is it us dollars, canadian... ?

[muted olive]

I cannot wait that long ahaha ill just buy it on release

[empty abyss]

prolly 3rd world discount. The Game is also 15 dol in vietnam

[wooden spire]

ooh okay thanks

[empty abyss]

Hades 2 is literally an 12 hour shift with our currency.

[oblique basin]

oh i forgot there are different breeds of dollars. I meant usd

[empty abyss]

the country with the ugly Zeus ruling it.

[cobalt sorrel]

Do we know if there will be reviews at launch?

Not like it’ll sway my choice but I am curious what the rollout will look like

[empty abyss]

Glazing like crazy

[merry whale]

def will be crazy amount of reviews i think

[steel tide]

no you could dash and it would keep your omega attack constantly firing, it was so satisfying

now it’s just like all the other weapons with a 3 hit combo and lost what made it unique. i really want them to change it back it was the most interesting and satisfying weapon

[lofty vale]

No, it wouldn't, you'd have to start firing normal attacks for a while after a dash

is how it used to be

[buoyant matrix]

it was problematic because most builds just came down to magick drain with fine line and righteous pike and born gain

[steel tide]

why’s that a bad thing though?

[steel tide]

nope you are wrong, look up any gameplay with it

[buoyant matrix]

weapon became boring to play very fast

it's just the same build over and over again, other options were objectively MUCH weaker

the current torches can run a high variety of builds that are strong and fun

yeah there are people that enjoyed the old ones but the current torch is just more popular

you're not alone in hating them now

[lofty vale]

Ok, you're right, I missremembred, dunno why they changed it then. I like the small omega attack it currently has though.

[steel tide]

yeah but the only way they balanced that (what your saying they were basically too OP) was just to make the weapons more similar to all the other weapons. instead of building upon them to balance them they just removed what made them unique

[buoyant matrix]

idk i think they're still very unique in playstyle

[steel tide]

surely more variety in how the weapons play is a better thing?

[steel tide]

they might be but it’s definately less so

[limpid stream]

Just made it to the third realm for the first time and how DARE they make me fight ||Cerberus||

Things just got personal Kronos

[steel tide]

why would you play the game for the first time less than a week before 1.0 release

why wouldn’t you just wait

[acoustic ruin]

if you go further you will despair even more regarding him 😔

[limpid stream]

This isn’t my first time playing, it’s my first time getting this far in

[limpid stream]

No no no no you can’t do this to me

[acoustic ruin]

well im not doing it EA is doing it 😔 but if you need the time until thursday you might not despair that much

[buoyant matrix]

chronos is very well capable of doing this to you

yet another reason to want to "vanquish" him

[slim pike]

But it did solve a lot of wonky interactions. And secret info: You can still get a scenario where the torches just repeatedly omega attack

Don't take any attack speed ups, take Clean Candle, Sorceress and Racing Thoughts

(And then question why you thought cardio gain was a good idea)

[nimble inlet]

Heavens wrath

[steel tide]

wait whaaaaaaat

so it’s like it used to be?

[slim pike]

even faster

[buoyant matrix]

only if you take those three upgrades

[slim pike]

since you start firing omegas after one normal

[steel tide]

welp that kinda limits which builds i can do then if i want to use that weapon the way i want to even smaller

still i will give it a try

[slim pike]

I mean, cadencing one normal and one omega is still pretty good

you don't have that 3-5 shots of normals before you get to the good stuff like you used to

so it's more flexible

[buoyant matrix]

daiyu used it for his 62 fear mel flames run. took phial into ephyra and reset until hermes gave him common racing thoughts in c2 and made it heroic with the city fountain

[whole palm]

Hi

[buoyant matrix]

hello

[tribal delta]

how much did the game change since EA started?

[buoyant matrix]

a lot

every single aspect in the game has changed

[merry whale]

ye it's why i dropped attacks entirely lolol

[buoyant matrix]

nearly all enemies and boons were readjusted

[orchid acorn]

+2 regions
+1 weapon(and all of its aspects
+6 aspects, one for each weapon
extensive reworks to the gathering system
regular balance updates

+3 familiars

few equivalent of pact of punishment additions/reworks

[cursive nacelle]

+3 gods with boons

[rare marten]

do we know what time the update is dropping?

[craggy widget]

<t:1758816000:f> (shows local time)

[orchid acorn]

3?

i guess you are counting athena and dio which sure technically

[limpid oar]

It's so convenient that the update drops right after work for me

[wooden spire]

All VoR variant of bosses (thought it would be worth mentionning by itself), expanded system for hexes (godsent), iirc all of the og gods recieved 2-3 extra boons at some point

[west fossil]

Drops literally as I start work, which is annoying.

[orchid acorn]

sorry boss i got the surface curse

[west fossil]

At least I have Friday off, so I can do a bunch then.

[limpid oar]

Easy, just finish off the boss and get to playing

[orchid acorn]

all gods recieved reworks to boons but the boon count is the exact same, file it under regular balance

[dire sand]

Gonna tell your boss you lied

[buoyant matrix]

yeah update time randomly aligning with my schedule was great

I'm just worried about how long it'll take to download 😂

[acoustic ruin]

there's way more than text

there will be a ton of models and voice lines

[empty fractal]

i wont even describe what just happened.

[wooden spire]

audio doesn't weight that much compared to visual assets, as far as I'm aware there aren't THAT many models that aren't already in the game (e.g Zag is technically already present)

[buoyant matrix]

you don't need to

[wooden spire]

we might have a lot of sprites, but considering the art style and the current size of the game I assume it's not gonna weight a lot either

[buoyant matrix]

nyx, the fates, chiron, all the gods in the fotress

[wooden spire]

the installation time will take way longer than the download for most people

[brave urchin]

3 days and 5 more hours till Hades 2 release!!

[mossy shuttle]

wanderer and ||evolved|| hunter are the two I'm thinking about switching to, I like using them it's just when I hit a platforming section and I go to do a pogo and totally whiff I just end up going back to my default

[long adder]

Hey folks, does anyone know if the music in the launch trailer can be heard/listened somewhere, what's the title?

[buoyant matrix]

it's on youtube, titled "olympus aflame"

[mossy shuttle]

I'm curious how much faster it is, you get +6% from crits but idk what the damage bonus is from the attack speed (it also means more silk and it makes it easier to parry which is probably harder to factor in)

[long adder]

oh thanks, that's it.

[orchid acorn]

your math is off sis

3 days 3 hours 6 minutes

[mossy shuttle]

petition for !Pronto command that prints the time till release

[pulsar osprey]

I've run 115 nights in H2 Early Access... and was wondering if it's best to start over for v1.0, or continue. What is everyone else doing?

[orchid acorn]

I advocate for restarting if your EA journy started like a year ago

[buoyant matrix]

I'm keeping my current save because upgrading everything again is gonna take too long

[limpid folio]

about how long are we expecting a "full" clear of the story to take

[orchid acorn]

if you started anywhere recently, like say unseen update and still have the initial dialogues fresh in your mind then don't restart.
if you don't care for grinding, don't restart
If you think you have a good enough grasp of the plot and don't want to the refresher of the minor plot beats and only care about the major plot beats you already know about don't restart

[limpid folio]

5 runs underworld 5 runs surface?

[robust basin]

Yeah i have been thinking about that, but it would really be too much

[orchid acorn]

entirely depends on if entropy is a real resource and how we obtain it, but its likely a fake resource since its been removed from everywhere else it was used throughout EA

[robust basin]

I would refund

[orchid acorn]

if they just remove it, it'll probably be 10 runs

5/5 split, though typhon needs both zsand and void lens

so probably like 3/2 split for typhon

[robust basin]

You couldn't even if you could. The screen was black wasn't it?

[orchid acorn]

that hasn't stopped AO3 writers

[robust basin]

Never

[robust basin]

H1 was 8 runs if I remember correctly so in the least we can expect 8+8, but maybe that would be boring.

[orchid acorn]

you remember wrong

[limpid folio]

hades 1 was 10 afaik

[orchid acorn]

it was 10 but the 10th dad let you skip him so debatably 9.5

[robust basin]

Good. Art must never die

[limpid folio]

9 full runs and a last one where hades is free

[robust basin]

Still 10 runs then

[limpid folio]

which is prob not gonna happen here lmao

[robust basin]

Well 20 runs then

[orchid acorn]

which is why i think it'll be split between the two runs to not overinflate

[limpid folio]

yeah

[orchid acorn]

maybe a midpoint like 6/6 or 8/8 but i dont think it'll be like 20 runs just to get the incantations

[lilac sundial]

hi yall :)

just started playing hades 2 today after getting addicted to hades 1 a couple days ago XD

i cannot for the life of me beat the sirens and Scylla

[limpid folio]

that said i think 20 isnt entirely out of the realm of possibility

[robust basin]

Yeah, but 10+10 is more realistic than 5+5

[orchid acorn]

hi friend, this channel is open spoilers so if you don't want to be spoiled i'd reccomend going to #h2-for-new-players and using spoiler tags.

[limpid folio]

try to focus on the drums siren (the one that isnt jetty) first, it works for me

[robust basin]

10 runs in total is bs

[empty fractal]

i could hear them.

[covert valve]

Been there my friend. The songs were too catchy for me to concentrate at first. I eventually got used to their attack patterns though. Helps that I refused to git gud and enabled god mode from the get go lol

[empty fractal]

🦆

[fathom lake]

iit gets worse :)

[orchid acorn]

but yeah general advice for the siren fight is to rush the drummer and try to hit as many of them at once, since they all share a hp bar. AOE abilities and stuff like hitch can work really well.

[robust basin]

Well, since pizza recommended I will advise you to go and search AO3 fanfics about it to have more explicit renderings of the acts

[orchid acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/macaroni-and-cheese-mac-and-cheese-mac-n-cheese-mac-and-cheese-day-pasta-gif-18165085

AAAAAAAAAAA

[robust basin]

It will happen, but in the beginning it is hard

[lilac sundial]

ty for the heads up <3

im someone who doesnt care for spoilers tho so its all g i dont mind

[buoyant matrix]

i did NOT recommend any of that

[robust basin]

Too late

[buoyant matrix]

nah some of these spoilers are mega spicy bro you should mind

[orchid acorn]

we (yes you specifically) cosigned that

[robust basin]

So much cheese with pasta should be illegal

[buoyant matrix]

||so much|| cheese ||with pasta|| should be illegal

[lilac sundial]

oh yeah ive been thinking about it probably would be better to focus on the sirens first🫡

thanks yall :D

[robust basin]

I don't want to imagine fanfics with Arachne... But I suppose you would be happy...😢

[orchid acorn]

did you see the meme i made yesterday

[lilac sundial]

fr god mode is my safety net 😭

i struggled so hard in the first game as soon as i saw it in the second im like ":D yes"

[buoyant matrix]

??? they do NOT share an hp bar

[orchid acorn]

share an overall hp bar

[robust basin]

I am scared.😭 I will try to search for it

[orchid acorn]

they have individual hp threshholds but the hp bar above is shared so hitting them all at once is good

question

is the surface finished? is it just the underworld that is getting finished with the full release?

[orchid acorn]

nothing is finished

[chrome plaza]

apologies if its a dumb question

[orchid acorn]

gameplay wise the game is like 99% done

Story wise the game ends after both final bosses

[covert valve]

You're good. Both the surface and underworld lack an ending as of yet.

[orchid acorn]

but you don't get any plot that results from it

[chrome plaza]

right, right

[marsh spear]

Oh gods the day approaches

[chrome plaza]

think i will play to get goodies then so i cna just launch into the plot stuff with the full release in like what 3 days?

[robust basin]

Oh god... (Btw I couldn't find it)

[marsh spear]

Reeling

[buoyant matrix]

good choice actually

[orchid acorn]

for the record all final boss resources are nuked at 1,0

so you literally can't launch into plot stuff

[robust basin]

So you enjoy the manga "so I am a spider, so what?"

[orchid acorn]

you will have to rebeat the bosses again for another 5-10 times each depending on how many resources are required

[robust basin]

Plus bonus bosses!

Plus Hypnos!

[limpid folio]

the silly hidden room after typhon:

[orchid acorn]

you want to beat hypnos?

fair enough we all need a stress ball

mine is named @oak ivy

[buoyant matrix]

ayo

can i start shipping pronto and lilac

[orchid acorn]

no

[buoyant matrix]

or is that immoral with real people

[robust basin]

God it took me so much time to understand that to get Charon I needed to take middle shop and I never took it...🤦‍♂️

[orchid acorn]

actually yes cause it will make lilac angy which is funny

[robust basin]

They are like brother and sister

[chrome plaza]

by that i mean. get like upgrades and stuff for weapons

[limpid folio]

are we expecting keepsakes for zag and persephone

[buoyant matrix]

woah like zag and thanatos

[limpid folio]

based on the inventory layout

[orchid acorn]

We are expecting MAYBE one of those

[buoyant matrix]

hypnos, hades and the fates

[orchid acorn]

2/3 of the remaining keepsakes are spoken for

[chrome plaza]

and then by launch into plot stuff i mean ive beat chronos 3 times so im getting pretty good at it

[buoyant matrix]

zag will have 0 dialogue in 1.0

[orchid acorn]

and its questionable if we will even fill out the 3rd slot

but the first two of hades/hypnos is like 99% likely

could be a fakeout but gameplay already supports their gifting just we get rejected

similar to hades 1 gifting dad but not getting it until post story

[limpid folio]

surely we're getting zag and persephone over hypnos

[robust basin]

We have a name for that.
RPF.
And yes that's bad... (99% of the time)

[orchid acorn]

Hypnos is likely integral to the story, and already has gifting logic set up ingame

hes also literally in the crossroads

[limpid folio]

its not that i dont love hypnos and that i dont think hes important to the story

but missing out on the family keepsakes would be weird

[robust basin]

Thanos isn't the son of Hades nor the son of Persephone

[orchid acorn]

Persephone is also like the lowest of the lowest likely keepsake givers

since her keepsake from h1 was made into her skull

[robust basin]

She had a skull in H1?

[orchid acorn]

[robust basin]

The champions may be inside Hypnos brain

[limpid folio]

tbf none of the h1 characters use the same keepsake in h2

[fathom lake]

It was a Pomegranate blossom smh

[orchid acorn]

i mean the god keepskaes are basically the same just now with a new rarify system

[lucid bronze]

inb4 this is the hidden boss fight

[limpid folio]

oh you mean mechanics-wise

gotcha

still, they could easily just give her smth else

[cursive kayak]

tfw u go back to h1 and try and right click a boon to increase rarity

[robust basin]

That would be boring...

[fathom lake]

I cant be normal anymore after the rarify system

[orchid acorn]

anyway the likely 3rd keepsake(if we get one) is almost assuredly one of these 4

• Persephone. Least likely due to her keepsake given to her aspect, could get something else but other characters have more story priority over her

• Zag. Protag from h1 extreme fan service being the last keepsake fits for almost all games bringing back something from the previous MC

• The fates. Extreme story relevance even as far back as EA launch with the only uncompletable fated list. Likely integral to the story and is an arcana card.

• Nyx. You would think she isn't that relevant, but mel follows the will of night and guess what nyx is. Thats right, night.

[lucid bronze]

changing how god keepsakes work was the best h1 to h2 change by far

[orchid acorn]

Of course they could just flip the board and expand the keepsake cabinet.... again

but that has logic against it by bringing EVEN MORE untested gameplay elements into the game at 1.0

[cursive kayak]

page two baybeeeeeeee

[buoyant matrix]

only the fates

it's on the bingo board. it WILL happen

[nocturne zenith]

given the manner in which we get keepsakes, i'm not sure the fates will have one since that would mean us giving them nectar. i can absolutely see them being a cutscene presence, but an npc we can give gifts to? pressing x to doubt.

[limpid folio]

a nyx keepsake would be neat

[buoyant matrix]

persephone was a cutscene presence until she wasn't

[orchid acorn]

This is also an important factor to think about, cause how would we keep visiting them

[limpid folio]

and im sure they could write an interesting dynamic between her and meli

[orchid acorn]

Which is why fates are 3rd on my least likely list

[haughty hill]

did you write these in order of increasing likelihood on purpose

[orchid acorn]

Nah i think its Nyx=Zag>Fates>Persy

if i put money on something i'd say zag

[buoyant matrix]

bro imagine a nyx keepsake that just says "you have +2 fear this night" and max fear is now 69 and you have one less effective keepsake 🤑

[cursive kayak]

if they were to do a zag keepsake it would probably be bloodstone I would guess

[nocturne zenith]

it makes narrative sense for persephone to move in and become a persistent npc becausee reuniting with her is zag's explicit goal. i can't see the fates deciding to chill at the crossroads, they have better things to do.

[haughty hill]

I'd say it's vastly more likely to be Nyx, personally, she's just so critical to like

a bunch of characters' stories

[orchid acorn]

I agree she has story relevance, but i only see her being giftable in a post underworld route at the mirror maybe

[haughty hill]

Zag basically only matters to Mel and even then it's unclear what he offers narratively that Hades doesn't

[orchid acorn]

which is the only reason i have her at =

[nocturne zenith]

obviously sgg can still throw a curveball at us but still

[orchid acorn]

I used to have her alongside persy until i think you went over the whole will of night and i went oohhhh tha makes sense

[haughty hill]

oh yeah Nyx does have voice lines in

[limpid folio]

nyx keepsake turns all enemies invisible 🔥

[orchid acorn]

So now i can justify both nyx and zag

[buoyant matrix]

what if chiron is an npc and HE gives us a keepsake huh how about that

[orchid acorn]

biggest curveball ever

[haughty hill]

chiron finally showing up would be funny

[orchid acorn]

we open up the door to zags room and chiron is just chilling there

[haughty hill]

I don't think it's gonna happen but it would be funny

[orchid acorn]

"is rent due already?"

[limpid folio]

idk abt that

[nocturne zenith]

chiron is the only arcana character that hasn't been shown in either h1 or h2 i think

[buoyant matrix]

b-b-but i put it on the board 🥺

[nocturne zenith]

something something game theory

[orchid acorn]

and i have zag on MY board

only one of us can win

[limpid folio]

meli has to learn the value of humanity, something zag already knows arguably way more than any other god in 2's roster

[orchid acorn]

https://imgur.com/1dGVgPS

[haughty hill]

Yeah but something he knows way less about than than Dora

[buoyant matrix]

your board is cringe, mine is based, it's that simple

[orchid acorn]

[cinder gorge]

3 more days

[limpid folio]

2 different flavors of the same thing i feel

[orchid acorn]

3 days 2 hours 23 minutes

[limpid folio]

bc clearly dora hasnt been hitting meli's head hard enough

[wheat fog]

whats a hidden helix lol

[haughty hill]

like there's a tonne of characters that can do that and do do that - it's brought up by Dora, Nemesis, Prometheus, Dionysus, Arachne and even Eris

[orchid acorn]

hammer to add in the 3rd special is blacklisted on eos

[haughty hill]

Zagreus being The One Guy Who Can Talk About It would feel kinda risible given how many other characters that Mel knows and trusts better have waxed philosophical on the topic

and also he was never mortal while a number of those characters were

[limpid folio]

i never said he would be the one guy talking about it

but meli still has a big god complex even after meeting all of the characters you listed

[haughty hill]

• like

mel doesn't need prompting she's already there verbally throwing hands with Athena over Arachne's curse

[wheat fog]

also since hades family tree is different from the original greek myth is zag and meli demigods since demeter got with a random farmer

[haughty hill]

no

[wheat fog]

why not

[limpid folio]

zag was barely considered a god by his own father and one of his closest connections was achilles

[haughty hill]

because they were born gods idk how else to explain this

persephone is also a god

[limpid folio]

then he helped sisyphus, eurydice, orpheus, patroclus

[uncut galleon]

i want nyx to not be a giftable character with dialog because she's dead to me (she left us her will)

[lucid bronze]

the real feature we need in 1.0 is those start of run cutscenes you would sometimes get in h1

[haughty hill]

she already has dialogue in the game

[orchid acorn]

you're SO right

[lucid bronze]

where hades would give a small speech with a word in red in front of him

except this time it’s hecate

[uncut galleon]

that doesn't count 🙁

[limpid folio]

out of the chars you listed dio is maybe the closest example since hes also a god who knows abt this already

[wheat fog]

why not chronos taunting mel or something

[uncut galleon]

(ugh why did that turn into an emoji)

[lucid bronze]

could be either

[limpid folio]

but hes playing a fool

[lucid bronze]

but he already does that sometimes when you die or after erebus

[orchid acorn]

she has multiple lines tho

in two different unique instances

• flashback
• testament

[limpid folio]

isnt it like 3 lines 💔

[uncut galleon]

yeah but like, you don't really talk to her

[oak ivy]

[uncut galleon]

as mel

[orchid acorn]

mel responds thats close enough

o god lilacs here

[wheat fog]

i miss asterius man

[orchid acorn]

go back to sleep

[orchid acorn]

he doesn't miss you

[lucid bronze]

i don’t know if ive ever seen this mentioned in the feedback channel before

[wheat fog]

did he tell you that

[lucid bronze]

although it would probably not fit into the game as well

[limpid folio]

didnt know his aim improved since 1

[honest plank]

I miss that one shade during the 3rd bossfight

[limpid folio]

guess he doesnt hit pillars anymore

[oak ivy]

It's literally in the game though!

i feedbacked it but i yap too much and cant figure out the keywords

[cinder gorge]

you know what I mean 😔

[orchid acorn]

to find it in my history

[honest plank]

Ive played enough i just aint know abot my homeboy

[oak ivy]

Smh these fake fans (/j)

[buoyant matrix]

whenever you defeat cerb he's standing next to the exit

[honest plank]

:0

[limpid folio]

only after the 1st clear i think?

[orchid acorn]

you just ignored your homeboy for the past bunch of cerb runs?

[buoyant matrix]

talk with him a few times and ||you can compel him to come to the crossroads||

[oak ivy]

You can help him get to the crossroads too, he'll be next to skelly

[limpid folio]

nvm it might be bc they added it later into the EA development

[uncut galleon]

mel (and zag) talk/s to homer yet he's not a character that shows up with a portrait and everything

[orchid acorn]

thats crazy and you call yourself a friend

[honest plank]

well hes Zagreus homeboys not melenoes and uhh

[wheat fog]

where will zag be in 1.0 i wonder that

[buoyant matrix]

dead

[wheat fog]

nah

[orchid acorn]

dead for sure

[wheat fog]

come on no

[orchid acorn]

didn't you see the leak? /s

[limpid folio]

meli sees him in the distance for the first time

he slips on a banana and cracks his head

[orchid acorn]

[wheat fog]

sorry dnino
what leak

[cinder gorge]

nah, Zag made the pact of punishment cry and got isekai'd by chronos as a result

[wheat fog]

nooo

but i wanted to see sagroues

[honest plank]

every run u save 1 person from the house then the final one mel and zag beat up chronos trust

[orchid acorn]

you're gonna see corpsegreus

[limpid folio]

holy cinema

[cinder gorge]

ooh that actually sounds good

[wheat fog]

will i do 60 fear uw before september 25 😈

[cinder gorge]

no

[buoyant matrix]

i did 62 before skong

[limpid folio]

i dont think its gonna be exactly this but its nice

it might make things a bit less cathartic on meli's end

[lucid bronze]

i wonder how the game would feel if there was a mod to put zag/mel and their weapons and boons in each other’s games

[limpid folio]

meli kicking her father's ass with a lvl 87 zeus attack boon

[wheat fog]

mirage shot circe go crazy

common vsync L

peak

[honest plank]

damn

[limpid folio]

32 fear isnt too bad

[cinder gorge]

hold up, that ain't Hades 1-

[woeful blaze]

My monitor is 100hz, gpu 9060xt 16gb, vsync off still limits to 200fps, and strangely with amd overlay its exactly 100fps regardless of vsync

[limpid folio]

underworld is basically free

[nocturne zenith]

that looks really cool. i wonder how mel's power level compares to zag's.

[honest plank]

last time I tried 32 fear was like 100 hum hours ago

[limpid folio]

coughing baby (zag) vs magick bomb

hes not weak but meli is crazy strong

[nocturne zenith]

probably yeah but h1 would also have been designed around zag's higher dash spam so i wonder if mel will have a harder time avoiding damage as a result

[idle crater]

it probably comes down to if multiple dashes or a h2 cast is better

[covert badge]

we've reached peak

now it's only downhill

[woeful blaze]

I am playing hades 2 after a long time, totally skipped the current update, I did not have this vsync issue before

[buoyant matrix]

how about zagreus in h2

frenzy2 wailers = guaranteed damage 🤑

[covert badge]

i wonder how h1 2d sprite system even works with character stuff in h2

like theres a way to implement for sure but hm

[twin cargo]

Hi, Does anyone know if the trophies you've already earned in your save will be unlocked on the 25th 1.0?

Or will you have to do it all over again?

[polar abyss]

https://tenor.com/view/well-yes-but-actually-no-meme-aardman-the-pirates-pirate-gif-26563702

Some trophies will carry over, some will not, and some are not unlockable yet.

The trophies that will be auto completed are the ones where you can only do them once. The trophies that will not are the ones where you can do them more than once (such as clearing a zone or finishing a run).

[hollow lily]

Idk tbh, I play with vsync 165 fps. Flawless for me.

If I go higher in frames. Iframes and input lag is probably gonna be better

[twin cargo]

Is it worth playing now? Or should I wait for 1.0?

[polar abyss]

I feel like it would probably be better to wait for 1.0. It comes out in 3 days. And the ending moment of a run is not there yet.

[orchid acorn]

at this point you may as well wait yeah

that way you actually get the plot payoff for your first win

[twin cargo]

Ok, I said it because I don't know what to do until the 25th, because if I start another game I'll leave it half-finished xD

But I guess I'll wait haha

Thx

[orchid acorn]

im in a similar boat but thats what mindless online games are for

[wheat fog]

so clearly scylla rival is getting a huge nerf in 1.0 riiight

[orchid acorn]

its on my bingo so i hope so

somehow she has escaped nerfs

well she got one i guess

[wooden spire]

even without the story conclusion, the simple fact that she singlehandedly fought against both Chronos and Typhon at once, countered the curse etc makes her one of the strongest being in the Hades-verse

[orchid acorn]

eh

chronos is bloodline abilities, its like saying the person who is immune to cold is stronger than demeter just cause demeter can't beat them

typhon is debatable but hes weakened from fighting the olympians beforehand and keeps on crawling up each night by the time you get there.

still impressive though

[wheat fog]

melinoe can stop time against chronos, she wins

[glad plover]

what class is this for

[buoyant matrix]

advanced physics or math

[orchid acorn]

just @grok when you need an answer

thats applied math for engineering probably

why grok out of all ais to use for math

at minimum the bug is prob getting fixed

Post it in a different server, copy image link and paste here

Or go to fan works idk

[orchid acorn]

due to a bug specifically with smolder and storm ring medeas damage bonus applies to them too

its not technically a medea bug, but medea benefits from it the most

those boons call for weaponsets on their damage or something

the bug i talked about here is just a text bug https://imgur.com/6VZXDN9

specialS

[finite talon]

do we know if additions in 1.0 will make continuing early access save reasonable in terms of story continuity, or there will be new stuff from the start? I'm just so torn on whether to continue playing, or just procrastinate for 3 days and then start fresh

[orchid acorn]

Officially we don't know

Historically nothing has been outright gated story wise, it will just play out of order for you

such as when they added in dialogue for stuff you did like 60 runs ago

but it play as if you just did the thing its talking about

[finite talon]

damn, I might just go back and knock out some stuff that's left in first game. Just to get a fix

[woeful blaze]

Obviously you have no understanding, so please refrain from comments

[orchid acorn]

I will say that it will make for a more organic story telling experience to actually get the plot on your FIRST WIN of the run with natural reactions to your win that you got 200 runs ago, instead of your like 100th win where only a few dialogues trigger

[lost wing]

Might be worth pairing (blue tool spoiler) ||Longclaw|| with ||Wanderer|| if you're not quite vibing with regular ||Wanderer|| but like a regular down-pogo.

As for the speed, it's basically Quickslash from HK1, very fast compared to ||Reaper||, without even involving ||dash|| nail cooldown reset type stuff.

[orchid acorn]

but ultimately you will hear almost everything on your save file just you might've heard some of the dialouge a long time ago and don't remember since it doesn't play twice leading to you feeling slightly underwhelmed

[finite talon]

I'm not that far into h2 I think. I've finished underworld successfully like 3 times, and just go the thing to allow me to go up. So I might just leave it be till release and restart. Because as much as I love gameplay in hades what I always look forward to is more story and character interactions

[lost wing]

Oh, also iirc the ||Magnetite Dice|| can boost the ||crit chance|| but I forget how much

[hearty idol]

i deleted my save files yesterday, planning to start a new game

[orchid acorn]

yeah the thing that is most anti-restart is the grind

if you don't have much unlocked or progress restarting doesn't do much to hurt you

[orchid acorn]

isn't that literally what vysnc does

[finite talon]

so far I didn't grind. Things just kind of unlock organically. But if it's similar to h1 the further you go the more of it there will be

[orchid acorn]

Vsync matches the game to your monitor, which if you are going above it causes screen tearing.

[woeful blaze]

Vsync when off, has nothing to do with monitor refresh rates

[finite talon]

I mean, with a 100hz refresh rate monitor you won't see more than 100 frames. But, having more fps than refresh rate will present a more recent frame when possible, still having a benefit

vsync not that important these days because freesync exists

[woeful blaze]

Irrelevant comment

If anyone is typing in respone to my query, my humble request "please read what I asked originally, again & thoroughly this time"

nah that's a bit too far there

yeah you're right.. 😔

let's stay civil in this chat

My monitor is 100hz, gpu 9060xt 16gb, vsync off still limits to 200fps, and strangely with amd overlay its exactly 100fps regardless of vsync

Where does it say "vsync is on" in my question
All those quick to jump, please enlighten me

[orchid acorn]

probably in the same place it is for every other person who accidentally misses something obvious like maybe it being enabled in their nvidia control panel or not actually toggling it off ingame. Either way don't really care to help with how aggressive you are good luck

[woeful blaze]

I am precise, not aggressive, never used strong words, only politely refuted those who commented without properly understanding question

If you can't give any positive reply, then just don't
What is aggressive in this

Don't try to phrase your mistake with understanding clearly written words onto some one as their aggressiveness

[oak ivy]

Pronto calling someone else aggressive?????

[rapid osprey]

chill bro, they were just trying to help. You are the one who starting bashing others for not understanding what you mean. There's more polite ways to go about clarifying what you're saying

[light gull]

Are ya having trouble defeating Rival Chronos without Death Defiance or broken builds??? I always take 400+ damage from him😭 (without strength)

[oak ivy]

Yep that's normal, it's probably the hardest rivals fight

[rapid osprey]

he is very tough and it takes a bit to get used to him

[finite chasm]

How do you expect to achieve higher FPS if your monitor's maximum display rate is 100Hz?

[woeful blaze]

If they did not see "regardless of vsync" and start talking about vsync being on, and then when I merely state their misunderstanding, how is it bashing (correcting is bashing nowadays ?)

[polar abyss]

Yeah, Rival Chronos’s 3rd phase especially can be rough.

[rapid osprey]

like I said, there's more polite ways of correcting someone

[polar abyss]

I did clear Rival Chronos while not losing a single Death Defiances, probably once, out of 15 or so clears.

[woeful blaze]

Then please enlighten me of a more sophisticated sentence, i will gladly retype all in that way

[polar abyss]

Though at the same time, this is at 50+ Fear, and idk if that’s the context you are talking about with Unrivalled Grandpa

[rapid osprey]

man I'm gonna be so rusty when I play this game again

rivals grandpa gonna kick my ass fo sho

[finite chasm]

Please understand monitor rr first. Doesn't matter if your game runs 200fps if you can only see 100.

[woeful blaze]

Do you even know what vsync off means ?

[orchid acorn]

you just coming back in raw at high fears?

ill turn off all the fear except hordes frenzy and rivals

[dim kernel]

1.0 tomorrow

[rapid osprey]

yeah I'll do the same probably. Though probably will go for timer instead of hordes

[oak ivy]

well first of all "please enlighten me" is one of the most passive aggressive ways you can ask for help... like unironically 😭

[rapid osprey]

"Obviously you have no understanding, so please refrain from comments" idk man, if this statement doesn't sound aggressive to you, then I dont know what to say

[oak ivy]

yeah you're being overly "formal"? it comes across as condescending af

[finite chasm]

But didn't you say your monitor is 100hz? Are you expecting vsync off to allow you to achieve 200fps?

[woeful blaze]

It is not aggressive, it is just plain truth, stated in polite words

[rapid osprey]

ok 👍

[dim kernel]

i throwed up

[oak ivy]

that is one of the most arrogant sentences you could say 😭

did you learn from pirate software??

[scarlet cosmos]

tf kind of refresh rate is 100hz

[grizzled trench]

doing one last funrun before 1.0
should I equip antler in tart

[woeful blaze]

Well what can I say, they say that "truth hurts"
So I guess there's some truth in that

[rapid osprey]

yes

[frank mulch]

im glad you managed to resolve the vsync issue, lets move on

[mossy shuttle]

2% to 2.1% I’m pretty sure

[grizzled trench]

antler is on

with no armour

[mossy shuttle]

I really like the idea of getting a multihit boost though

[rapid osprey]

time for some intense video gaming

[grizzled trench]

room 1 fig leaf

absolute zaming

[fathom lake]

hades 2 countdown bot where?

[orchid acorn]

<t:1758816000:F>

[woeful blaze]

It not completely resolved, just a temporary workaround
"Vsync always off" globally
From combination of globally "off, unless application specifies" & off in application

[tidal cliff]

is circe bugged or something I’m trying to get Anubis staff and I haven’t seen circe in over 15 runs

[grizzled trench]

uh oh

[orchid acorn]

rng

[grizzled trench]

i took two (2) hits and am at 12hp

[frank mulch]

then it's good that a workaround was found, at least!

[rapid osprey]

this might be a dumb question, but since when does Hades 2 need all that optimization to run smoothly?

[grizzled trench]

hades offered unseen ire. winner

[finite chasm]

Someone give him some poms.

[woeful blaze]

The funny thing is this strange behaviour is only with Hades 2 (as far as I have seen/tested today) Sifu works fine

So should not be driver issue

Or could be / I don't know

[frank mulch]

i dont own that game so i cant test it. i tend to cap my stuff at 60 or 120 at most

[frank mulch]

get them today its the jewish new year

[woeful blaze]

It is smooth regardless of the issue as even when affected I still get at the very least 100fps & 200fps when partially affected & 350 up when vsync globally off

[grizzled trench]

easy win with 6hp left not even worried

[tight wren]

Does anyone know what time the game drops and what timezone?

[rapid osprey]

so then what's the problem here? 100fps sounds good enough, no?

unless the game is stuttering

[orchid acorn]

<t:1758816000:F>

this is localized to your time

[woeful blaze]

My gpu in those settings in question should easily give more than 350fps

[candid nimbus]

And also auto translated, interesting 🤔

[raven perch]

If it doesn’t that’s a skull issue

[tight wren]

Oh i seeee thank you!

[sleek oar]

Yeah that was throwing me off 💀

I was like when did pronto start speaking czech

[orchid acorn]

im in your walls

[vital hollow]

Why do you need so many frames, don’t our eyes already struggle just to see above 60 frames

[tight wren]

Was surprised they know what timezone I'm from

[finite chasm]

He is confused about what he can run and what he can see.

[rapid osprey]

but didn't you say your monitor is 100Hz? It can only display a max of 100 fps afaik

[woeful blaze]

If grading the issue on a scale
Sure it is just an issue and not a problem per say
But it is still strange & hence a bit distracting

[rapid osprey]

like it doesn't matter if the game runs at 200 or 300 fps, you can only see 100 fps

[woeful blaze]

Oh man, how many times did I already say, that when vsync is off (which I have set to off)
Monitor refresh rate has no hold on fps rendered

[finite chasm]

lul

[rapid osprey]

does it not? I thought that's literally what refresh rate meant?

[finite chasm]

Your monitor refresh rate can only render 100 fps.

[merry whale]

doesn't vsync force match monitor fps

[woeful blaze]

Even on a 60hz monitor, we can render (although not display) as much frames as gpu can render

[finite chasm]

That's exactly the purpose of vsync. no tearing.

[rapid osprey]

then why would you want to turn vsync off?

[woeful blaze]

To render as much frames as I can get, for lower latencies

[rapid osprey]

I see

[woeful blaze]

Only when vsync is ON
When it is off, fps is uncapped (limited only by gpu strength mostly, later by cpu)

[tidal cliff]

How do you get staff of Anubis?? I have all the requirements but circe doesn’t say any special dialogue

[finite chasm]

Whatever works for you. You asked for help, but it seems like you already have all the answers.

[orchid acorn]

Have all 6 weapons
Have all 3 aspects of staff
Have at least 1 staff at level 5

[tidal cliff]

Wiki didn’t mention having all 3 staffs💔 how do I get staff of circe

[orchid acorn]

buy it?

all regular aspects are unlocked just by doing the incantation

unless that changed, you just need the resources to buy it

[tidal cliff]

It’s not there

[orchid acorn]

are you actually opening the pool

[woeful blaze]

First, I did not exactly ask for help
I asked if any one else was seeing the same issue
And if yes, any insights, as to what might be causing this

[orchid acorn]

or are you just opening the staff menu

[tidal cliff]

I only see Melinoe and momus at the pool

[tidal cliff]

Yes

[orchid acorn]

[merry whale]

imagine the req is u have to have met circe

idk tho

[tidal cliff]

I have before

[merry whale]

hm so circe just straight up doesn't show in the aspect unlock screen

[tidal cliff]

I’m very confused on what I’m missing😭

[orchid acorn]

},
    GameStateRequirements =
    {
        {
            PathTrue = { "GameState", "WorldUpgrades", "WorldUpgradeWeaponUpgradeSystem" },
        },
        {
            Path = { "GameState", "FamiliarsUnlocked" },
            HasAny = { "FrogFamiliar", "RavenFamiliar", "CatFamiliar", "HoundFamiliar", "PolecatFamiliar" }

Get all 5 familiars

[tidal cliff]

how do I get a familiar

[orchid acorn]

give them candy and steal them in your van

wait its not all 5

its just get ANY familiar i misread

[merry whale]

it's HasAny (also prob shouldn't be directly sharing code) so should be at least 1 familiar, not all

[orchid acorn]

which yeah makes sense the weapon is about familiars

[woeful blaze]

And only when people who did not know what vsync off means & did not see the same issue as me & neither read my post properly, started commenting, did I say "please refrain from comments"
No hard feelings there

[orchid acorn]

eventually hecate tells you to get a friend and you can recruit frinos in your room

[merry whale]

best frog

[orchid acorn]

technically you can ignore frinos and get toula or raki though

[oak ivy]

You've been running without any familiars this whole time???? omg

I thought the game forces you into getting one

[merry whale]

i'll do a 62 without a pet just for u

[tidal cliff]

I never knew they existed

[oak ivy]

yeah that's what I'm surprised by

[orchid acorn]

it takes multiple runs to get them

its not some innate feature

[tidal cliff]

I saw “give skull to a beast” most my time playing but i didn’t know what it meant😭

[orchid acorn]

wait wot

yeah bro go to your room and feed the frog

bro hasn't even been petting frinos for good luck i bet

[oak ivy]

😭

[hybrid gulch]

straight to jail

[tidal cliff]

I assumed that was just a decoration like the frogs next to the pond in the town area

💔

[orchid acorn]

LMFAO bro got called a set piece

[hybrid gulch]

Frinos is no mere decoration

[buoyant matrix]

naaaah I can't tolerate frinos slander

[merry whale]

frinos is a paid actor

[woeful blaze]

Since no one else amongst those active right now, has seen the issue that I am seeing
I will try an OS reset & see if the issue repeats or not
(Have already tried gpu driver reinstall, to no avail)

[daring osprey]

Ahhhhh-

[orchid acorn]

Officially, only the story.

and any balance updates that they made in the past 3 months to aspects boons etc

[raven perch]

Some keepsakes + a secret boss

[orchid acorn]

Unofficially with evidence

• A secret encounter/fight from the achievements they accidentally uploaded
• 2 keepsakes from hades and hypnos from ingame content we currently have for gifting them

[raven perch]

More Frinos kisses

[oak ivy]

we're hoping for a secret boss... it's not guaranteed though..

[raven perch]

:)

[oak ivy]

:|

[vestal yarrow]

Thx you !

[glossy beacon]

def charon as secret boss again or artemis

[robust basin]

C'mon... Are we really not expecting it? Also even if they don't give us Charon 2 we still have the champions achievement

[meager garden]

did someone say zag secret boss?

[robust basin]

Oh god... Artemis

[raven perch]

I’ll be so mad

[robust basin]

Please don’t do this to me I haaate possessed Zag theory

[oak ivy]

omg I cant wait to meet Zagreus!!! and I can't wait for him to be BOTH playable AND a secret bossfight!!! I can't wait for him to take over the protagonist role in the game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[robust basin]

But truthfully speaking even if that is so cool, how is it even a challenge for a witch that defeated the father of all monsters and time itself?

[cursive kayak]

killing myself

[robust basin]

Actually that would be cool and scary

[meager garden]

zag isn't possessed he just wants to fight mel because that's what gods do or something

[raven perch]

Because men are inherently more powerful haven’t you heard /s
