h2-discussion

[cursive kayak]

im chatting here to get a lot of my excited energy out.

also it is currently 8pm and it comes out at noon so i will likely be sleeping for a good chunk

[wise ledge]

Sleep

[candid nimbus]

I noticed something on IGN review (spoiler about Nocturnal Arms). ||Aspect of Thanatos got buffed||

[little mason]

speed run hades 1 in 15 hours

[cursive kayak]

can u spoiler tag that please

[candid nimbus]

Ohhh right, my bad!

[little mason]

Aspect of spoiler got buffed

[peak pike]

night shift for about another 6 hours, then decision, sleep or hades 1...can one experience the whole story of 1 in 15 hours?

[little mason]

usually u go to h2 new players for no spoilers

[dim kernel]

I'm spoiled

[raven perch]

New rules say 1.0 spoilers get tagged no matter what

[little mason]

oh ok thanks

[little mason]

how do i tag you as a spoiler

[candid nimbus]

So, regarding what I mentioned about ||Aspect of Thanatos||

||Increased attack speed and Mortality buff is now at 20%, not 16% ||

[pulsar frigate]

||spoiler||

[wise ledge]

Pls don't delete Icarus, who will make us hammers then

[little mason]

pretty sure its 30

[raven perch]

||isn’t that bad? You need more hits to get Mortality no?||

[indigo cypress]

Heph premium service every run

[candid nimbus]

||Pretty sure you gain the same buff per hit, the cap is higher now||

[candid nimbus]

[cinder gorge]

1.0 in 18 hours I think?

[bleak viper]

Less than 4 hours for me

[cinder gorge]

ah okay I read it wrong, 15 hours let's go

[peak pike]

where are you? in their HQ ventilation?

[wise ledge]

<t:1758816000:R>

It releases in 16 hours for everyone regardless of the timezone

[bleak viper]

Yall

Imma be honest I’m blind

[finite talon]

alright, epilogue in h1 reached, ||family reunited||, only a couple of gameplay-related prophecies left that I might not have patience for. I'm ready for tomorrow

that was good 100 hours for money spent, and I'm sure there's still a book worth of voice lines I may not hear after all that time

[cursive kayak]

i currently have like 250 hours in h1, very worth

[little mason]

400 acrosss switch and pc

[wise ledge]

Rookie numbers
https://i.imgur.com/GRe8xRS.png

[burnt forum]

dude its crazy that its coming out finally... no more updates or huge overhaul patches, its just there, the whole game

[cursive kayak]

damn gg LOL

[little mason]

u just left it on idle

[finite talon]

I'll probably keep coming back to it here and there, maybe knock out those last few achievements. But I think I'm mostly done with the game

[wise ledge]

Nope, genuine play hours

[little mason]

NOO WAY

[finite talon]

no other roguelite can boast to have new things in it after 100 hours. There's really so much happening between runs that I'm still seeing new dialogue basically every other run

[hearty idol]

https://tenor.com/view/blink-wtf-confused-huh-shocked-gif-10304352405531683529

[little mason]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-shades-off-infinite-seriously-what-gif-15628445

[wise ledge]

And I wasn't even there for EA, I've picked up the game in October 2021

So yeah, until the hades 2 the first one was my go-to game

I now also have 386 hours in hades 2

[hearty idol]

did you get the last title in hades 1?

[little mason]

321 for me

[hearty idol]

i forgot what it called, its the cosmetics in hades room

[little mason]

prestige

[wise ledge]

Nope! Still need ~170k darkness

[latent sun]

What time does version 1.0 come out?

[hearty idol]

yea that, it took so long for me i think im still on my 3rd prestige

[little mason]

just refund all ur darkness and dono it

[wise ledge]

I did :)

[little mason]

[wise ledge]

You need to REALLY grind darkness to get there. Like optimise runs to get more darkness.

[willow dagger]

Hey so do we know what time the update will happen for full game release?

[wise ledge]

<t:1758816000:f>

In 15 hours

[pulsar frigate]

[wintry dagger]

I am happy to report that for one day (until speedrun.com probably wipes the boards tomorrow for launch), I have the world record time for the coat

[wise ledge]

Congrats!

[wintry dagger]

https://www.speedrun.com/hades2 no need for omega attacks, just mash to win

[wise ledge]

I mostly played the coat ever since it released (and until they added Morrigan), and I don't remember ever using omega attacks in battle

[blazing spruce]

Will the price be the same after the official launch?

[wise ledge]

IIRC yes

[olive coral]

Mere hours.

[neat frigate]

I cannot lie seeing all the critical acclaim the game is getting is making me emotional

10 from ign and a (temporary) 100 on metacritic

It makes me so happy

[finite talon]

well, ign scores usually have a coin toss of a chance of being true to reality. That doesn't mean anything

[neat frigate]

Goty nomination next 🙏

[peak pike]

I mean hades is near if not the perfect game Im not surprised Hades 2 continues that

[bleak kestrel]

WTF the steam achievements are there but I can't play the 1.0 version?

[neat frigate]

I’m so proud of supergiant they deserve this so much

Choosing between silksong and hades 2 for goty is gonna be like Sophie’s Choice

[olive coral]

It's held back until release tomorrow.

[bleak kestrel]

Ok:(

[wise ledge]

For like two days now. Release <t:1758816053:R>

[neat frigate]

I can’t believe we made it

[bleak kestrel]

Ok

[olive coral]

Look on the bright side. It's giving you time to go buy snacks and adult diapers for when the full release happens.

[lyric matrix]

1.0 release tomorrow guys? Believers rise up!

[modern sonnet]

Hades 2 tomorrow for me yay

[shy charm]

15 hours

and like 8 of those are going to be sleep. so really 7 hours of consciousness

[radiant apex]

had a great day at work, going to have a better day at work tomorrow (a product i've been awaiting for a long time is finally arriving!, the crew we have scheduled is my favorite, i'm leaving work at 4pm!), and I get to experience H2 story when I do get home. Chat, can I get a hell yeah

[shy charm]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/809098194880430080/1420577259831558225/image.png?ex=68d5e72b&is=68d495ab&hm=0d287123ce89ac45cf4f5ffc8b3531cd015770e3d5e33067bc0c7a670922c396&

[wise ledge]

Finally someone who gets it

[cursive kayak]

for h1?

[shy charm]

:P

[wise ledge]

Hell yeah

[shy charm]

h2

[cursive kayak]

procrat’s was for h1

[shy charm]

ohhhh yall were talking about h1 gd

myb

[cursive kayak]

but oh my god 925 hours in early access 😭

I bow down

[shy charm]

334 on H1

[wise ledge]

Yeah I heave meager 386 in h2

[shy charm]

I play it on silent sometimes while i watch shows or hang with friends

[strong nymph]

35 or 36 for me lo

[strong nymph]

365 for me, and those hours are combined with Switch and PC

[primal marsh]

hola muchachos. i stopped playing after first win on big monster boy. so fukin stoked for 1.0

[shy charm]

I really have to admit that at this point I am a much much bigger H2 fan than H1 - and I loved H1 and spoke really highly of it - but H2 is like one of my favourite games of all time

[strong nymph]

I bet the current all-time high 103k+ player count will be double or triple on v1.0 launch day for H2

[spare hearth]

1.0 is coming today, atleast in the uk. so hyped.

[shy charm]

EA has been really fun. Cool to be here at the end and feel the culmination of hype

[radiant apex]

the UK buff 😔

[wise ledge]

I'm still a bit confused on that tbh. I love how polished the h2 is, but still prefer h1 gameplay slightly more

[solemn fractal]

it's the number one most bought game on nintendo

[spare hearth]

Haha, but not sure if the update did come out here. idk

[strong nymph]

Sure, but on Steam tho

[solemn fractal]

the downisde is living in the UK

[cursive kayak]

same here

[solemn fractal]

oh it will do numbers on steam too trust

[strong nymph]

I'll hold out playing on the Switch until the physical version releases

[wintry dagger]

Coworkers invited me to two more meetings tomorrow, shame they don't realize that tomorrow I'm way to sick to work

[shy charm]

totally valid - they have a really different feel, and H2 is missing certain "gamefeels" from H1 - I completely understand the diehards.

[cursive kayak]

and I only have 415 hours

(“only”)

[spare hearth]

timezones form everwhere, so yeah.

[strong nymph]

Hopefully Silksong numbers

[solemn fractal]

while i do think it deserves skong numbers, there's no way

[snow jolt]

what time does hades 2 release?

[spare hearth]

today or tomorrow. depending on timezones.

[cursive kayak]

noon EST

[strong nymph]

12AM tomorrow in here (Philippines)

[solemn fractal]

skong was an interenet phenomenon more than a game for a couple of years

[civic charm]

wdy guys think is the best offensive duo boon rn? thermal dyna?

[faint river]

there is an image in #announcements

[raven perch]

<t:1758816000:f>

[solemn fractal]

freezer burn fr fr

[faint river]

that's up there. maybe romantic spark

[civic charm]

is stronger than scalding vape still?

[shy charm]

in 15 hours approximately

[spare hearth]

uk timezone or idk

[raven perch]

It’s your timezone. The magic of Unix

[spare hearth]

welcome to life.

[odd escarp]

My internet had to go out before the release I've been grinding in the game all day

[civic charm]

romatic spark is good but it's only efficient for supay i think

[faint river]

efficient for just torches in general

[solemn fractal]

fair but think about it this way: new content

[shy charm]

Woahhhh Unix....
so.. how did you do that? asking for a friend

[velvet hearth]

DO we know if they modified more art in Hades 2? or was it only moon goddess

[odd escarp]

yes true, I swear to god if the internet isn't fixed by tomorrow Imma crash out

[raven perch]

https://r.3v.fi/discord-timestamps/

[civic charm]

i'd rather go for offensive duos on other torch aspects imo (mel, moros)

[raven perch]

||They changed Moros’ bath sprite||

[iron steeple]

I work on the night shift. If there was a midnight release I would have called in for the day

[velvet hearth]

that it?

[raven perch]

Of course there will be more we just don’t know yet

[velvet hearth]

Aprho's boob size increased by 30%

[solemn fractal]

is it just me or does anyone else think melinoe has massive crashout energy

[odd escarp]

I spent all day yesterday working on school work so I could get it done early for Hades

[spare hearth]

Who is planning on doing a fresh save, and who has beaten the underworld boss on the first run?

[solemn fractal]

Bravo Supergiant Games, the Apollo-Aphro duo was insane

[velvet hearth]

apollo aphro duo?

[faint river]

nah, the olympians during boon trials literally crash out

[solemn fractal]

i got to cerberus and died

[ripe sparrow]

Our Zodiac Sand and Void Lenses are going to poof when the full release comes, right?

[cursive kayak]

yep, they’ll turn into prestige/kudos

[solemn fractal]

apollo's boons make ur attacks bigger... aphro... apollo god of medicine... aphro...

[agile island]

I really hope there's some hell mode equivalent to hades 2 on launch

[odd escarp]

||I defeated typhon when he was first introduced on my first try||

[radiant apex]

the funniest thing is ||using their godsent hex during the trial when you spurn them. so far i've only seen Zeus with a voiceline for this, the rest just have an empty text box so I assume the lines havent been recorded yet||

[radiant apex]

same i felt like a god LOL

[solemn fractal]

could you imagine how funny it would be if melinoe just immedeately dissolves chronos tho

like mission done guys let's go home

[odd escarp]

Same I was like pssh easy

[solemn fractal]

haha yeah i can definently relate to that

[faint river]

I saw a video for all of the gods' lines. Of course, the game isnt finished so there were just a few lines per god

[spare hearth]

How could we beat chronos hmm, maybe a spell which allows us to kill either of the final bosses?

[odd escarp]

I'm going to cry if I see Zagreus again like bawling

[empty abyss]

really? I remember Moros being high as hell in the bath

[spare hearth]

I assumed since of the trailer we got for 1.0 with melionoe's eyes blazing red.

[odd escarp]

I was originally going to chose Moros then I saw Icarus and was like

[empty abyss]

for real like hes the first main character. Hes just aura

[odd escarp]

and he's so so handsome

[shy charm]

I wish there was a way to snag the timestamp number from within discord that would be so useful!

[raven perch]

You can just copy the text of the thing I sent

[wise ledge]

For "In N hours" <t:1758816053:R> - <t:1758816053:R>
For a full datetime <t:1758816053:f> - <t:1758816053:f>

[shy charm]

but if you want to use that feature for a new different time/day for another use you need to use that website to generate that string of numbers right?

[raven perch]

Or this one https://www.unixtimestamp.com/

[cursive kayak]

also https://www.hammertime.cyou

[wise ledge]

Yup. This string of numbers is a date in seconds.

I use this one: https://sesh.fyi/timestamp/

[shy charm]

gotcha - I will definately use it - but I don't think I convince my friend who lives in a different timezone to use it because he would just calculate it and find that faster, which is fine

[unreal hare]

Good night everyone

[cursive kayak]

I mean you don’t need to find it yourself if you’re talking about using it for the release date, we already sent it

but yeah I mean it automatically adjusts which is nice

[unreal hare]

ITS SO CLOSEEEEEEE!!!!!! IM SO HYPED

[long totem]

I'm so nervous😭 my stomach is turningggg

[wise ledge]

Discord really should make an interface for that instead of coming up with yet another useless shop feature

[shy charm]

chamomile tea maybe?

[raven perch]

Drink sleepytime tea so you pass out and wake up just in time

[wintry canyon]

So, what kind of changes are we anticipating?

[solid wind]

Anyone wanna make bets to what they'll nerf/buff

[wise ledge]

Endgame and familiar skins!

[wise ledge]

I hope they don't nerf Morrigan

[cinder prairie]

anyone know whats the criteria for the greatest gift of gaia incantation?

[twin apex]

absolutely fixing the medea bug, which would technically be a nerf

[wintry canyon]

I hope we get to make Chronos cry

[radiant apex]

god me too

[wintry canyon]

Stuff him in a locker maybe

[wise ledge]

Basically fish every fish, collect everything there is and unlock everything else. Something like that.

[radiant apex]

i want that dude punching air

[solid wind]

I hope they'll buff the axe and sister blade base m2, always felt like you had no reason to use it unless y'know specific aspect

[twin apex]

tbh really just all of the mourning fields enemies. the punchers, the boulders that will get guaranteed damage if you try to melee them, the stupid monsters that drag you across the entire room every 3 seconds...

[plain shale]

Well guys tomorrow is 1.0 day

[wise ledge]

Greatest Gift of Gaia (auto-collect resources when leaving a room)

• all 5 familiars at max rank
• caught each of the 27 fish at least once
• have owned all 10 seed types (you don't need to still have them)
• have owned all 9 ore types
• have owned all 9 hand-picked resources
• have gathered shades at least 51 times
• have dug at least 101 shovel points
• have pickaxed at least 101 outcroppings
• have caught at least 51 fish

[broken glen]

They’re gonna buff Medea

[empty abyss]

does Grek know that Discord also have time translation? Why didnt bro do that. Now I gotta figure out my timezone

[covert badge]

#h2-feedback reopen pls 🙏

[cinder prairie]

ah alr

[plain shale]

That’s the ultimate new game plus man

[wintry canyon]

So I'm assuming that 1.0 will require a new save and that it would be verry foolish to start a new game right now?

[raven perch]

<t:1758816000:f>

1.0 does not require a new save

[wintry canyon]

Yo for real?

[cerulean lake]

No, Progress carries through

Most ppl are starting new saves just to join hype

[empty abyss]

aw. Its 11 pm for me.

[raven perch]

When 1.0 releases I will open the same file I’ve had since day 1 and play with my millions of resources and completely unlocked weapon set

[wintry canyon]

So all thats really missing is the endgame at the moment?
This changes everything

[empty abyss]

Chronos staring at my throbbing, hungry for blood secret aspect Axe

[covert badge]

freaking dazzling display of all the things they decided to keep… of course it had to be this one

[twin apex]

i have no idea what i'm gonna do in the few hours tomorrow between waking up and the game drop

[cerulean lake]

🤝

[raven perch]

The only additions for 1.0 will be the final story, some keepsakes, and a secret encounter

[wintry canyon]

Yeeeesss

[cerulean lake]

I think the final story includes a lot of the side character story right?

Everytime i talk to Odysseus he has nothing interesting

[covert badge]

ody & circe might be heavily tied to the story progression stuff yeah

[raven perch]

Based on the achievements yes

[wise ledge]

Yeah, for now his biggest role is to say "Oh, what have we here" when you plant something

[cursive kayak]

“our garden flourishes”

[wintry canyon]

This is because Odysseus is dumb and boring

[cursive kayak]

mf who is “we” that’s my garden.

[wintry canyon]

I read Odysseus' book and man do I hate that guy
They should let me feed him to Charybdis

[cerulean lake]

Im like. 50% more excited to just see side story stuff, like in h1

Ive held off progressing the main npcs a bit, just for v1

[wise ledge]

Would be also cool if they buffed the auto planter to allow for planting of all seeds you have at once, not just the seeds of the same time

[cerulean lake]

Yeah ngl

• random other books w him sorry odysseus buut

Though in h2 i am slowly tolerating him

[shy charm]

also hidden aspect card backssssssss

[wise ledge]

Would be peak if they introduced inverted arcana, but sadly no chance

[raven perch]

Yeah there’s no chance

[covert badge]

might be too much for balancing

[twin apex]

patch 1.1 trust 🔥

[wise ledge]

A DLC

[shy charm]

yeah there's no way - that was an early dream of EA - I still think about it sometimes

It honestly could help fix arcana alot - but also would be a disasterous thing to balance

[wise ledge]

Zag fs up arcana and has to play instead of Mel to fix everything

[wintry canyon]

Who needs balance when you have More Features?

[shy charm]

I just wish arcana was a bit more "different aspect = different optimum build" than it currently is

[wise ledge]

Yeah, would be cool

I don't think I felt a need to change my arcana setup even once after unlocking and upgrading everything

Except the time I switched from DD to strength

[shy charm]

I change it but only ever 3 cards change

most of the board is locked in to it's off/on state

[spare hearth]

I got to ask, who has beaten chronos on there first run? would be a challenge thanks to eris but still would be fun to try.

[shy charm]

I have tried
I have failed

[raven perch]

I’ve beaten Chronos on run 3

[spare hearth]

Is it possible to beat chronos on run 1?

[shy charm]

I got past cerb on my first run once but not cronos

[spare hearth]

It would basicly have to be hitless.

[wise ledge]

In theory if you do it completely hitless

[shy charm]

yeah it definately is possible - you have to know how to dodge eris curse (for one thing)

[spare hearth]

wait you can dodge the curse? but what if you didnt and beat chronos with eris curse from zone 2?

[cobalt flint]

Many people including me have fresh filed h2, its most definitely possible

[shy charm]

yep its replicateable I think you just need to be under a certain health threshold when you beat each boss - completely worth it if you can pull it off imo

[covert badge]

beach ball be like

[shy charm]

I mean you could do this by just never getting hit I suppose

[gusty fjord]

Finally bought it, should I wait til tomorrow or play some of it now so I can get the 4th wall breaks I've heard the early access has

[shy charm]

honestly just wait

[gusty fjord]

Ok

[shy charm]

no one can be 100% certain that some stuff right at the beggining of the game won't change for 1.0

[gusty fjord]

True

[shy charm]

might as well get the intended experience at this point

there may be early voice lines that get added in ect

[devout cairn]

to start a new save or not to start a new save, that is the question

[spare hearth]

When was hades 2 released in early access?

[shy charm]

you could also play a bit now and start a new save tomorrow, but honestly why spoil your first experience of the game

do you have the willpower tho? I have such a low tolerance for that kind of thing

[spare hearth]

wait and just look up the 4th wall break on youtube

[gusty fjord]

Okays

[gusty fjord]

I am getting kinda sleepy so like

I probably won't be able to enjoy it rn

[cursive kayak]

may 2024 i think?

i started playing in july 2024

[spare hearth]

was it may 6th?

[cursive kayak]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[spare hearth]

dam 1 day off the early access release date.

[shy charm]

oh hell ya my "final feedback" message finally hit exactly 100 👍 !!!
THIS IS A GOOD OMEN FOR TOMORROWS LAUNCH

#h2-feedback message

[spare hearth]

from when I bought hades 2 in early access.

[shy charm]

instantly went to 102 lol
amazing even better omen not worried at all

[spare hearth]

thanks to me getting it to 102

[late steeple]

At what time is 1.0 expected to be released?

[raven perch]

<t:1758816000:f>

[late steeple]

Tyty

[spare hearth]

Definatly not ready for good fear runs, or idk.

[tender river]

14 hours from now

[shy charm]

I think im going to play one last EA run - what aspect should I run?

[spare hearth]

supay.

@rose canyon Pfffft.

[rose canyon]

I saw a Reddit post about how to optimize a fresh save file. Now I'm wondering if I should do one or continue with my pre-1.0 file 🤔

[spare hearth]

Should of types when no one was typing or someone would of not noticed.

[cursive kayak]

im gonna finish my current file then start a fresh one

granted i have 415 hours in my current file so i wanna have them not go to waste

[rose canyon]

I forgot I had this nickname lmao

[spare hearth]

It's hularious if I am being honest.

[shy charm]

I'll make a poll of my fav from each weapon:

Last EA Run Aspect?
Medea 🔴
Supay 🟡
Nurgle 🟤
Pan 🟠
Momus 🟢
Shivas 🟣

wow the pan love is strongggggg

[cursive kayak]

oh i misread as “least”

[bronze oak]

Pan the weapon that you once were... 🥀

[shy charm]

we love what we love

[cursive kayak]

probably momus out of those, but not bc it’s my fave. just happened to do it recently

[shy charm]

momus is so fun

[cursive kayak]

momus is fine. i find it really hammer dependent to be honest.

omega casts are fun on momus though. sometimes I’ll just go for that

[tepid sandal]

I'm currently doing a ||Surface||run with ||Aspect of Thanatos||

[bronze oak]

Momus gets crazy with hammers but it can melt with just boons. Its just so good

[shy charm]

I wish more boons that effected boons would effect momus than currently do, but I understand it's a balance issue

[spare hearth]

spin to WIN

[tepid sandal]

no curses this time, tbh I did it just to unlock ||the second incantation for Hypnos|| but I'm having a lot of fun anyway

[tepid sandal]

SPEEN TO WEEN

[shy charm]

Oh wow so did they just delete the channel for no-spoilers?
that's alot of text that just vanished :P

[spare hearth]

I mean it isnt a 1.0 spoiler so yeah

[tepid sandal]

I know but chances are new players will be joining the Discord server soon

[cursive kayak]

no it got turned into the new players channel

[tepid sandal]

made it my own rule to hide as much as I can

[raven perch]

They just renamed it

[shy charm]

oh thats great

[blissful flame]

idk if this is the right place to post but dear Supergiant Games, I am once again begging you to make a Scylla and the Sirens band shirt with tourdates on the back. and i think it would be really clever if the tour locations were references to other Supergiant Games games. please!!!!

[tepid sandal]

at least for right now

[cursive kayak]

my favorite of each aspect is:

• staff: anubis (though i need to get better at using it)
• blades: morrigan
• torches: moros
• axe: charon/nergal
• skull: medea
• coat: nyx

[covert badge]

bruh imagine medea attack reload icd

[tepid sandal]

I would def buy this

[spare hearth]

I do need to unlock some aspects but the resources are a bit iffy.

[bright fern]

oooh fun we’re all putting our last EA runs on here… probably gonna do a quick nergal or morrigan surface run before bed, see you on the flip side gamers o7

[tepid sandal]

what was the release time for 1.0 again?

[spare hearth]

I might not do a final run, but I am not sure.

[shy charm]

ending voting at <t:1758767040:t>

[cursive kayak]

<t:1758816000:f>

[tepid sandal]

gotcha, waiting for noon to come is gonna kill me on the inside

[faint river]

Ah yes, pan my favorite axe aspect

[cursive kayak]

I MEANT CHARON SHOOT

[shy charm]

looks like ||supay ||wins - ||medea ||and ||pan ||tied for 2nd

alright im booting it upppp lets go last EA run <3

[woven herald]

will there be new aspects or gods for the full release?

[gusty tangle]

patch drop when

[shy charm]

nope

[spiral isle]

damn, that's exactly midnight for me

[cursive kayak]

<t:1758816000:f>

[spare hearth]

Hmm, now I am wondering if mods will add a hecatate aspect, would be funny if they do.

[hasty depot]

Ooh, fave aspect of each arm, i wanna go!
The scepter - Momus
The blades - Pan
The flames - Moros
The axe - Thanatos
The skull - Persephone??? Least used of all the arms..
The coat - Selene, w/ moon beam trinket

[spare hearth]

Dam wish I suggested that.

[atomic river]

how can one not like nergal as the best axe

[spare hearth]

but it's way WAY too late for that.

[shy charm]

I actually love pers and selene aswell - good runners up for medea and shivas for me

[spiral isle]

I like the circe staff a bunch, though all the staves are cool in their own ways for sure

I could never really get a good feel for the coat... didn't find something I liked for long

[cursive kayak]

maybe I’ll change my staff answer to Circe, hers is also very good

[faint river]

the coat special makes that weapon my least fav

[wise ledge]

Really? I like coat special

Also, Morrigan is the best aspect period

[spare hearth]

I CAST MAGIC MISSILE!

[covert badge]

My favorite aspects for each weapon:

Staff: Anubis (was gonna say Mel but autofire changes rip Aetheric/Controlled Burn)
Blades: Morrigan (was gonna say Pan but Splash ICD )
Torches: Honestly love all 4 (even after the rework ), but if I had to pick? Supay.
Axe: Charon, 0 doubt. Peak.
Skull: Mel & Pers (totally braindead autofire hold-button-and-win build yippee)
Coat: Not a fan of any tbh, but if I had to pick? Nyx, I guess.

[cursive kayak]

i do love mel skull

[last inlet]

Does anyone know if saves will carry over from early access to full release?

[idle crater]

Staff: Circe
Blades: Pan
Torches: Eos
Axe: Nergal
Skull: Persephone
Coat: Nyx

[wise ledge]

Yes, but they will remove sands of time and void lenses from your inventory

[faint river]

staff: anubis
blades: morrigan
torches: moros
axe: charon
skull: hel or medea
coat: selene

[outer bronze]

It has been so fun watching this game grow with y'all. The best early access experience I've had. I've been playing and lurking this whole time and I'm so excited for folks to play this game. Cheers all

[mossy shuttle]

Man I’ll miss h2 being a live service game with quarterly content updates, but it is what it is

Can’t wait to experience the story in full

[spare hearth]

@cobalt flint How is it being a frog? and how is it meeting mel everytime she spawns back?

[wise ledge]

The only other EA I've been a part of was Below Zero, and it was... Not that fun lol

[wise ledge]

Mel confides in him

[hasty depot]

-# (This is my one and only early access experience i think lol)
It's really nice to see how,, sorta varied peoples picks for the aspects are.
I cant wait to accomplish the monumental feat of entering Zagreuses room...

[spare hearth]

I know was asking the frog on how is it being him, in charater.

[outer bronze]

yeah, that one was interesting lol

[spare hearth]

That is gona be insane.

[wise ledge]

Yeah. We're all jealous of that guy because we want Mel confide in us too!

[dense light]

I’m assuming it’s been addressed but I’m assuming ot drops like midday tomorrow or smth?

[wise ledge]

<t:1758816053:f>
<t:1758816053:R>

[spare hearth]

Was curious as hell. but still would be nice, but I am more of a dragon type of dude than anything else.

[golden horizon]

yes i get to play before work

[dense light]

How badly are they nuking resources again

[fair scaffold]

why god, why it's so dificult to find icarus

[golden horizon]

been counting down this game and digimons release

[dense light]

Thought I saw they were doing that somewhere

[spare hearth]

He is mainly encountered in zone 2 of the overworld, and it's rng

[hasty depot]

Sand and Lenses will be turned into prestige on loading a save once 1.0 launches. I'm praying the payout for killing Time repeatedly will be handsome...

[faint river]

just the end boss item drops

[thorn basin]

do we know if schievements will unlock on my early access save when 1.0 comes out or will i need to make a new save

[spare hearth]

what will prestiege do?

[cursive kayak]

ones that can only be done once will likely retroactively be unlocked. ones you can do multiple times will probably have you do it again (like, if an achievement is getting to oceanus)

[cursive kayak]

prestige is what u use to buy decorations around the crossroads

[spare hearth]

You mean the spirits we collect using the tablet right?

[cursive kayak]

nope, different thing

[faint river]

no that's psyche

[cursive kayak]

i mean maybe u haven’t unlocked the decoration thing yet, idk what u need to unlock it and idk how many hours u have. but it’s the thing that dora allows u to do

[spare hearth]

Dora uses phyche which is why I asked.

[cursive kayak]

no she doesn’t, she uses prestige. they look similar but they are different

[spare hearth]

im dumb as hell.

[cursive kayak]

go to the fourth shop slot on the trading guy, that’s the slot you trade things for prestige in. psyche is one of the things you can trade for prestige, you can see the icon differences there

[spare hearth]

checked my file.

[cursive kayak]

no you’re good LOL. they do look similar

[spare hearth]

Now I forgot how to obtain prestiege.

[cursive kayak]

go to the trader guy and go to the fourth shop tab. that’s where u trade resources for prestige

[spare hearth]

Ah that's how, god why am I forgetting stuff like this?

[cursive kayak]

it’s all good. i just happen to have no life and play a lot of the game lmao

[spare hearth]

Yeah 76 hours here, not alot for a year of early access but still.

[spare hearth]

Ever played get to work, ik off topic but just curious.

[cursive kayak]

ive heard of it!

[spare hearth]

Every played it?

[cursive kayak]

nope! it doesn’t seem like my kind of game but i have friends who have, and they like it

[spare hearth]

Still nice thoe.

[potent charm]

less than an hour away !

[slender cosmos]

is the 1.0 release today or tomorrow (australian) so it is the 25th for me

[wise ledge]

It's the one with Connor, right?

[cursive kayak]

not quite, about a bit less than 13 hours

[spare hearth]

cdawgva yeah.

[cursive kayak]

<t:1758816053:f>

[potent charm]

DAMN it drops 12p not midnight that’s crazy

[spare hearth]

5pm here, while it's 4 12am here.

[neon thicket]

I'm so hyped

[boreal rover]

Is H2 on the Xbox I can't find it in the microsoft store

I know it isn't fully released but there isn't even a mention of it

[wise ledge]

Nope, PC and switch only

[vernal canyon]

the game's getting some crazy good reviews. can't wait

[wise ledge]

Except the polygon lol

[spare hearth]

why, show.

[vernal canyon]

should i know who the polygon is?

ok nvm. found their review

[potent charm]

polygon gave a bad review ?

[spiral isle]

polygon? who's that

[lyric matrix]

My favorite part of the reviews is how despite playing the game (allegedly) no one can pronounce Melinoe's name correctly.

[potent charm]

just a game journalism channel/site

[spiral isle]

it's funnier when the game itself does just that, loud and clear for the player to hear

[wise ledge]

https://i.imgur.com/SxDqkto.jpeg

[spiral isle]

what are some of the wrong pronounciations you've heard?

[lyric matrix]

Mel-an-oi

[potent charm]

some people have said melinoe while others pronounce it like melinoe

[idle crater]

i've even heard melinoe

[vernal canyon]

funny how we have companies that release slightly modified versions of the same game every year and no one bats an eye. but god forbid they make a hades 2, how unoriginal of them!

[tepid sandal]

my run unfortunately ended in me losing to ||Typhon||

[boreal rover]

https://tenor.com/view/jake-crying-gif-15896901980625544793

[radiant apex]

I'm so sorry 😔 is it too soon to point out that your evil eye is now set to him tho

[spiral isle]

a release for the rest of the consoles would definitely be... a matter of time

[lyric matrix]

Someone has to be the odd man out to get the attention

[vernal canyon]

the only thing i care from 1.0 is that they give a satisfying development to zag' story

[shy charm]

I have beaten my last EA run using ||Suppay|| it was fun and relaxing thank you all for the suggestion

[viscid surge]

first run of 1.0 im gonna run staff of melinoe with frinos and silver wheel just like god intended

[spiral isle]

I kinda wonder how they plan to epilogue melinoe's story... and if it's not a happy ending, if the community can take that or be really salty

[tepid sandal]

that is true, maybe I'll do another ||Surface run with Momus aspect tomorrow and sweep him||

I expect it to be bittersweet

[tropic axle]

You don't have to put spoiler warnings in this channel

[dense light]

Oh so if we have like 40 we’re losing some

[shy charm]

you actually do now! they changed the rules I believe

[tepid sandal]

I'm aware, it's more so for the new players who join the server and want to discuss something in this chat

[tropic axle]

When?

[agile shoal]

Will the game have a happy ending?

[lyric matrix]

It says to Tag all 1.0 spoilers and be sensitive to new players at the top

[shy charm]

the no-spoilers channel was changed to be "for new players" and they added the new rule like a few days ago

[lyric matrix]

They announced the changes on the 23rd

[shy charm]

in the channel description it says "(BEWARE: Tag all v1.0 spoilers! Please be sensitive to new players.)"

[covert badge]

they lost me on thalamus rant

[shy charm]

not as happy as the first but there's plenty of room for some twists in the story when 1.0 drops

[charred pulsar]

Hello, does anyone know if the achievements will be given to us if I have already completed them?

[smoky scroll]

The final few hours are upon us everyone.

[tepid sandal]

even if it wasn't a rule I'd still be using tags, I imagine new players will use this channel occasionally despite their progress so the more safety they have here the better

[shy charm]

it's the final countdown

[bright fern]

final EA run was exceptional talent + psychic whirlwind with nergal on the surface

[shy charm]

omg i didnt see the chicken nuke... i do not approve of this chicken nuke i only wanted the clock

[spiral isle]

12.5 hours left

[smoky scroll]

It was fun being a part of the EA

Never was part of one before until Hades 2

And it's been an amazing ride seeing how far the game has come since then

[bright fern]

yes, achievements will unlock retroactively

[smoky scroll]

I think the only thing left is just finishing up with Narcissus

[shy charm]

yeah it was a good ea. not all ea's are built equal. This and DRG were the best for me so far.

[spare hearth]

Just what??? why polygon? but eh, it is polygon.

[shy charm]

EA DRG experience > post EA DRG experience

[lost wing]

https://tenor.com/view/europe-the-final-countdown-80s-music-new-years-eve-hair-band-gif-19757498

[tepid sandal]

1.0 players will never know the joy of seeing the placeholder assets in the game

[lost wing]

placeholder Narcissus, rip, you were a real one

[spare hearth]

unless you revert your game so you can see the placeholders.

[smoky scroll]

It's gonna be a shame I'm gonna be at work all day when it comes out 😔

[tepid sandal]

I'll never forget the "pigs"

[smoky scroll]

I kinda miss placeholder Narc

[bright fern]

rip placeholder narcissus and silver sister Icarus, you were as ephemeral as you were beautiful

[smoky scroll]

It woulda been fun to have him be the "Unseeable Beauty"

[agile shoal]

I loved the "pigs"

[shy charm]

bleh - what narrow-viewed take

[tepid sandal]

placeholder narcissus was so iconic that I associate him more with that than his official sprite

[solemn fractal]

i really do wish they kept him in a cloak for the entire game ngl

[slate flame]

Man I was so excited for the v1 launch, but a supertyphoon decided to make its landfall on the same morning

[spare hearth]

ouch.

[hasty depot]

I miss the steering wheel blowing up

[vernal canyon]

lol can't wait to see what zag's reaction to schelemeus is

[shy charm]

does anyone else feel like narcissus sounds like nicholas cage?

[agile shoal]

Yeah it was like he was too beautiful for the player to see

[solemn fractal]

and it actually was super hype seeing the surface levels slowly unlock

[shy charm]

you cant even imagine his splendour

[spare hearth]

Oh wait it's typhoon season?

[solemn fractal]

so much discussion and waiting went into it it was really fun

[tepid sandal]

yeah exactly! he had an allure that feels too defined now

[solemn fractal]

keep urself safe bruv the game shall be waiting

[agile heart]

Where can people see old placeholders?

[lost wing]

curse you, Typhon, bringer of storms!

[agile heart]

same voice actor as Skelly and Zag!

[agile shoal]

Also his ||old sprite concept|| was really cool as well

[slate flame]

Yup, they come especially strong in ber months typically lol

[agile heart]

(I joined in Unseen Update, a month or two ago)

[agile shoal]

Didn't fit the VA tho

[slate flame]

Yeah, I hope it passes quick🙏 thanks for the concern

[solemn fractal]

a disco elysium dev actually touched on this, essentially one fo the main reasons why there wasn't a romance between the main characters was because desire is stronger when you don't get to have it.
i kinda wish we didn't get to heave it

[smoky scroll]

At this point in the EA, Typhon and Chronos are just my punching bags. Can't wait to finally put a nail in 'em both.

[slate flame]

Irl fighting him

[agile shoal]

You need to finnish the game to save the world

[tepid sandal]

uhh tbh I don't really know, sorry 🙁

[solemn fractal]

chrono unironically is the lamest mf ive met

[bright fern]

just read and it seems like the writer’s main gripe is the resource management/systems which, tbf there are a lot of resources, but the interconnectivity between all the resource systems feels so good that I really don’t share the same problems the writer has lol

[lofty hawk]

thanks everyone, i only saw announcements on youtube and steam page so i assumed it would be the same in #announcements

[bright fern]

i’m excited for defeated chronos art, since prom got one last major update

[raven perch]

Technically his defeat portrait is different from his combat portrait

[flat anchor]

Do we know if there will be more lore/story added to the beginning of the game once 1.0 comes out? I've completed going up and down a few times and want to know if I am good to just continue my save or if I should start a new one.

[olive coral]

I LOVE that timer bot, I use it often to tell people when megagames will start, but I don't think I've seen it used this way before

And it's perfect for it, so I don't know why not.

[agile shoal]

He fits melinoes personality well because melinoe is an ~autistic saphic~ and chronos is like that one conservative uncle who is extremely flamboyant for no reason

Its a battle of the woke

[willow pike]

The sudden burning desire to buy HAdes II again on Switch and transfer my PC save.

[solemn fractal]

don't ask chronos why he has a Grindr account

[willow pike]

"I thought it was a website about gears for my clockwork masterpiece. I swear."

[solemn fractal]

bro gets 0 ***es and stacks NO obol

I’m sorry for asking, if I already have the steam version and purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 version, can I fully transfer saves across the two? Like if I play on my switch, then PC, will it be the same save file?

[wise ledge]

Alright, I've set the alarm to 18:30, 30 minutes before the launch. Time to sleep. Good night everyone, see ya 30 minutes before launch

[solemn fractal]

im willing to sacrifice zeus for him
tbf im willing to sacrifice zeus for a saltine but still

[willow pike]

Chronos has every date.

[shy charm]

I know what I'm changing my profile description to

[willow pike]

January 1st, January 2nd, January 3rd...

[olive coral]

Icarus is too sweet. Melinoe is bad news. She deserves Eris.

[wintry path]

is there a consensus on whether to start a new save or not if you've been playing early access? (i haven't played since feb but have like 60 hrs)

[bright fern]

option to give him the potion more than once Please Amir Supergiant

[covert badge]

bless those 17 pixels

[willow pike]

He even has June, July, and August, despite those probably not being invented yet

[solemn fractal]

you know, meli beats up up and coming singer, a shepherd and a dog
while chronos supports a single father
who is the real evil here???

[cursive kayak]

it depends on whether or not you’d find it worth it to continue. my friend who has 40 hr is playing fresh. i have 415 so im gonna finish mine then start a fresh file

[agile shoal]

||rivals typhon|| is just interrupting a gay date change my mind

[willow pike]

And ||rivals Prometheus|| isn't?

[cursive kayak]

TRUE

[broken glen]

So is ||rivals Prometheus||. And || eris|| is YOUR gay date.

[agile shoal]

Exactly

[solemn fractal]

im so worried he's gonna overdose on the draught and die in meli's arms or smth but tbh, worth

[agile shoal]

This

[cursive kayak]

i mean he already dead

[wintry path]

fair enough, i guess i'll start fresh then

[agile shoal]

Melinoe is very homophobic tbh

[solemn fractal]

like dead dead
deady dead dead or smth

[solemn fractal]

both her and zag have eyes with homophobia so obvs

[broken glen]

I mean, Poly has you over for dinner, but… I’m not sure if that counts as a date.

[frank igloo]

Is my math wrong or are there 12 hours to go until 1.0 releases?

[cursive kayak]

about twelve hours yeah

[fading knoll]

Roughly yeh

[agile shoal]

Also chronos wants ||a better age for mortals apparently||

[solemn fractal]

im fully shipping poly and medea ngl

whether platonic or romantic is fine

[agile shoal]

So she is against the rights of minorities prob

[shy charm]

and 8 of those will be unconcious for me. So like 4 hours till release basically

[broken glen]

She’s his doctor

[solemn fractal]

they have a really cute thing going

[willow pike]

Do we know how big the download for the 1.0 patch will be? I'd like the game on my SSD, but that drive has limited space, and I'd rather not have to move it over to the other drive again when downloading the patch

[shy charm]

essentially the game is already out

[fading knoll]

Probably not much bigger than it is now?
So like what
It's like 8GB right

[candid geode]

Shes his plug

[olive coral]

I thought we got the update three days ago.

[cursive kayak]

wait you’re so right 😭

[thick crane]

I haven't played since the first pre release version is there anything I should know playing 1.0

[shy charm]

hades 1 is 11gb

[candid geode]

Pluh

[solemn fractal]

and he's a shepherd
can they make it work?
find out on ABC's new hit premiere, Blindly in Love

[cursive kayak]

1.0 releases in about 12 hours

[solemn fractal]

i wonder if this will crash steam

[agile shoal]

Jekyll and mr hyde situationship

[candid geode]

THIS IS ME 12 HRS BEFORE MY SHIFT

[willow pike]

Yeah. So probably it won't hurt too much; I should have room

[fading knoll]

Basically zero chance lol

[solemn fractal]

plz it would be so funny

[willow pike]

"Baby, I swear, that guy is nobody to me!"

[broken glen]

Not if I have anything to say about it

[thick crane]

bro will singlehandedly make it happen

[candid geode]

Gonna do that "guys I'm going to get a haircut" but its v.1

[olive coral]

Yeah, but I thought they were ahead of the game. I've been hearing about people getting achievements and such for the past couple days.

[agile shoal]

If hades 2 didn't have an early access maybe it would crash steam

[candid geode]

I'm not mentally ready

[warped linden]

I know you guys have probably gotten this question a million times but when does the game drop

[agile shoal]

But i dont think so

[solemn fractal]

"My ex is coming over for dinner" isn't narrative tension, it's just Medea telling Poly to get ready to beat the s*** out of Jason

[cursive kayak]

achievements are available to look at but it hasn’t released yet (they probably did it for the sake of reviewers)

[candid geode]

But my stomach is,
I got some snacks to fit the theme for the big day

[fading knoll]

Check #announcements

I am ok with that, I have to work out, eat, and get at least 1 more ea run in before v1

I did until Reflecfion Affection came out

I don’t think I’ve gotten far enough to get music selection yet or maybe I’m just unaware of it

[shy charm]

I will try this

[candid geode]

Frinos sitting in the chair like in the Godfather

[shy charm]

you gatta unlock it with an incant

[olive coral]

Hey, just so you know, the sand and lenses all get converted to prestige.

[solemn fractal]

we keep beating time, but who beats time off?

[candid geode]

The what

[willow pike]

Excuse me what is this one achievement.

"Slay a sister of the dead while afflicted with Twilight Curse"

[gusty lily]

Any estimation on when that would be revealed? I’ve beaten Chronos like 8 times now

[solemn fractal]

prestige is the currency that allows u to buy cosmetics for camp and such

[candid geode]

Kill one of hecate's sister while being a sheep

[willow pike]

Do I have to like, set up an omega cast ahead of being cursed or something?

[agile shoal]

I need the second game to finnish as an opposite to "in the blood" as in , you cant choose your blood relations and cant escape them, but you can choose your family. If melinoe just goes home with hades and the rest I'll cringe really hard. Only justifiable if Hecate pushes her to do so. But even then I'll be salty

[solemn fractal]

get a minion in hecate battle near death, get hit and transform into animal, kill minion

[willow pike]

I know what it is, but I'm wondering how

[candid geode]

[faint river]

and the ship gates sounded like energy cannons

[olive coral]

Yeah, the notes say that Z sand and V lenses are going to become prestige.

[agile shoal]

Melinoe should stay in the crossroad and should just be able to visit her family somehow

[solemn fractal]

u deal like 5% of their health per hit

[shy charm]

if you have any unlocks you can get with z-sand or void lenses you should do so now

[olive coral]

So spend them while you got them.

Nah, let her actually be the Princess of the Underworld for once. The Crossroads stuff is Hecate’s domain, just let her rest in peace if the mission succeeds. She’s done her part.
But Mel clinging to the Crossroads like “I’m not leaving” is so in character though, absolutely predictable from her mindset.

[shy charm]

yeah wiki says 7 lenses 7 zsand and 7 fated fabric - that honestly sounds right to me

[solemn fractal]

yeah no it's correct i still have to do it

[shy charm]

it's for sure the most expensive incant

[candid geode]

Let hecate smoke that Crossroads moly

[agile shoal]

Conveniently hypnos in the crossroads, the father of all MONSTERS and the god of TIME. Also the goddess of ghosts and NIGHTMARES

[cursive kayak]

worth it though ngl

[solemn fractal]

i mean it makes sense it allows u to rig ur runs

[crude dragon]

What it does is the polar opposite of that

[olive coral]

It might just be get any aspect topped off, and doing the aspect of Melinoe is the easy way to do that. I also got aspect of Selene to the top because I want to advance her relationship.

[solemn fractal]

doesn't it change ur seed so u end up getting a diff run, thus allowing u to restart a run u don;t want

and giving it some rigging potential?

[crude dragon]

That's... not rigging

[olive coral]

But yeah, I haven't even seen seven void lenses, and I have the aspect of Shiva

[agile shoal]

Its giving ||endless nightmare timeloops where you torment chronos and typhon (replayability post ending)||

[solemn fractal]

fair enough i don't know enough about rigging

[candid geode]

I wonder if there's going to be two different endings
I think its already implied that we can choose to go either the Underworld and Olympus in the trailer

[dreamy phoenix]

Holy shit IGN dropped a 10

If it's not Silksong or E33, GOTY might honestly be this

[crude dragon]

That'd be more like gambling until you get a specific outcome, rigging would be more like using a set seed

[shy charm]

does anyone here think that the final parts of the story will unpack mel's loved ones basically turning her into a weapon. She's low key a child soldier. I'm curious if they will kindof challenge this "bad guy cronos" motif and introduce more nuanced expositions of cronos's tyranny. I feel like they might be leaning that way reading the dialogue with Prom and Herc - and how they might influence Mel's point of view

[candid geode]

Yeah but || remember that one incantation that makes chronos mortal or smth||

[potent current]

i really wonder the end of the story

[candid geode]

Ah yes, the sacrificial lamb motif

Stellar - I broke my ankle a few days ago, so I got nothing but time once it's released

[shy charm]

sorry that happened, hope you mend fast

[jolly flower]

Hi guys, I have some questions because I haven't played early access in a while. I know things will change tomorrow, and I know most of my questions are things a lot of people will tell me to play with whatever I have the most fun with, but I wanted to clear up some doubts. So far, what's the easiest weapon to consistently beat the run as early as possible on a fresh save? It used to be Umbral Flame, and which aspects are stronger now? Has there been any change in the blessing meta or any significant rework? I'm out of touch with which blessings are strongest.

[shy charm]

and that you enjoy H2!!!!

[shy charm]

yes, the boons are very different

[tender river]

So I'm planning on starting a fresh save to experience it from the beginning, but if it starts to feel long I'll switch to my old primary I guess....

[shy charm]

I would say the easiest aspect is ||Suppay|| and the strongest aspect is ||Medea||

[jolly flower]

ty

in the beginning what is the strongest initial aspect

[shy charm]

going over all the strong boons is kindof such a big conversation that im not sure how to even start it here really. it depends on the aspect.

But hera is still strong, still has one of the best Gains

[shy charm]

i guess that depends on what you mean by the beggining - because you get to choose what aspects to slowly upgrade so it's hard to make those comparisons honestly

[broken glen]

Mel staff is great for beginners, but I’m partial to the torches. I liked moros a lot at the beginning!

[shy charm]

this is a good answer

[prisma monolith]

I miss old torches

[broken glen]

Ultimately it’s gonna take some experimentation to find what you find fun- but that’s the point of the game

[shy charm]

I really like Hestia with any of the torches, for obvious reasons

[shy charm]

the old special?

[broken glen]

https://tenor.com/view/i-miss-my-wife-tails-i-miss-her-a-lot-sonic-the-hedgehog-snapcube-eggman-gif-27436480

[shy charm]

the new special staggers, which i think is a bit more interesting. but honestly I miss the old special too, it was alot of fun to spam the map with so many orbs

[hasty depot]

The one where the circle wasn't as big, and the fireballs were chunky! But i get changing it. It was kinda powerful...

[shy charm]

they kindof used to "spiral out" and also were not tied to your model like they are now - but they didn't stagger

[jolly flower]

I mean when you start a fresh save what is the most consistent and easiest weapon to win the first runs

thanks for the help guys

[oblique walrus]

Finally Hades 2...

[shy charm]

I think go for the staff until you are comfortable and then start trying new ones

[oblique walrus]

I would say coat because I love coat but I'm pretty sure you can't start with coat ... Alas...

[shy charm]

you can't start with coat

[oblique walrus]

Ive been using it a lot recently trying to unlock selene's heart but she just has so many other things to say ...

[jolly flower]

I played for about 150 hours at the beginning of early access and Umbral Flames was stupidly easy to win the first runs on fresh save

[shy charm]

i forget the unlock pace
it's like

1. Staff
2. Torches and Knives and Axe
3. Skull
4. Coat

is that right?

[oblique walrus]

Sounds about right I think

Skull and coat are a bit out there weapon wise so then coming later makes sense

[autumn tartan]

12 more hours right?

[idle crater]

more like 11

[shy charm]

yeah for sure. The wiki only has the unlock cost - it doesn't tell you the preconditions for them showing up. I think it's just number of runs played? Maybe theres something special for Coat?

[jolly flower]

I wanted to know because I wanted to do a speedrun but nothing too serious, but I wanted to be able to win runs as soon as possible to get more resources and complete 32 fear with all aspects as quickly as possible

[autumn tartan]

It's finally here

[prisma monolith]

The old everything

[prisma monolith]

Not yet champ

[plain shale]

Bro bro this run I had || in the surface was so good I met Circe and eris betrayed me and Prometheus and Athena?!?! || (again put spoiler tag since new players are here and 1.0 is coming)

[prisma monolith]

First time surface?

[plain shale]

First time I went that far

[prisma monolith]

I see

[plain shale]

I was so close of beating || Prometheus ||

[prisma monolith]

Yeah i remember seeing athena in the trailer and being hyped, then I remembered zhe probably wasn't going to be a boon giver and got sad

Prometheus is a hell of wall if you don't know the moves

[autumn tartan]

He is fairly easy once you understand the timing. It's can be annoying to deal with so many things on the screen tho

[icy halo]

I don't think any of those are 1.0 spoilers, are they? I assume the thing in the channel description means "things that are newly in 1.0"

[plain shale]

Better safe than sorry

[prisma monolith]

Yup^

[silent cedar]

what time is full release

[shy charm]

she ||gives you the only boon that anyone truly cares about||

[plain shale]

Well for the east coast it’s 12 pm est

[oblique walrus]

Honestly it's probably better to spoiler tag anything huge for a few days because this server is about to get a lot of new players

[autumn tartan]

she gives 1 boon, that's lovely enough. I still remember her saving my ass the first few times I first go to surface and lose all my lives then she just revive all back

[silent cedar]

I have class then 😭

[prisma monolith]

I was never divine dash enjoyer so for me it was just a let down

[hearty trout]

Hades 1.0 today!

[shy charm]

nahhh i think it's just like "try not to spoil new players coming to the game for the first time"

like we should start being considerate of people who were not in EA

Because there's no other space rn for no-spoilers

[prisma monolith]

Yes there is #h2-for-new-players

[oblique walrus]

They probably should really make a non spoiler chat...

[plain shale]

Hence why I put spoiler tags

[prisma monolith]

We literally have a chat for new players

[oblique walrus]

Didn't notice this was here that's good

[plain shale]

What year are you this isn’t the pandemic

[silent cedar]

still better to be considerate

[hearty trout]

2020?

[oblique walrus]

Still might spoiler tag things a bit for a few days just in case... Imagine if someone spoiled the Goku boss fight ...

[plain shale]

Yes

[plain shale]

There a goku boss fight?!?!

[hearty trout]

I cant wait to see ehat happens when zag finally gets to the surface omg

[shy charm]

yeah i mean you aren't harming anyone with adding spoiler tags so use your best discretion

[oblique walrus]

I'm harming myself, I find it annoying

Do you think that hades two will have the “silksong crash event”

[sleek oar]

Probably not since its been in ea for so long right

[bold walrus]

I just know I ain't getting enough sleep. Imma be ruining my sleep schedule and killing time!!!

[loud stirrup]

I will be ready tomorrow, prepare yourself Chronos.

[oblique walrus]

Probably not because all the madmen like us did early access and they didn't go radio silent for almost 7 years

[plain shale]

And there was preorders

[wild temple]

It’s 1 am on the 25th for me! What time is 1.0 dropping?

[oblique walrus]

Man I got a finish silksong too ... But Hades 2 first now ig

[sleek oar]

In 11 hours

<t:1758816000:R>

[oblique walrus]

About 11 hours from now

[wild temple]

Damn I was hoping it was a “drops at midnight” kind of release…damn 😔

[prisma monolith]

No, because unlike silksong a vast majority of players already owns it

[oblique walrus]

Probably was easier to do multiplatform release at midday

[spiral canopy]

i dont think supergiant has done a midnight release on anything, as far as im aware

[plain shale]

https://tenor.com/view/come-on-man-cmon-man-ugh-stressed-gif-17640173

It will probably be midnight somewhere

[plain shale]

It would be hilarious

[loud stirrup]

you might want to change your bio lmao

[bold walrus]

I don't care about what time it releases. I just want it released!!!!

[plain shale]

It’ll be midnight in Asia and Australia

[robust basin]

Unlike silksong? Silksong also dropped at the same time for everyone

[oblique walrus]

Look part of the reason silksong crashes everything was waiting 7 god blasted years for it. Granted it's peak but like I'm happy Hades 2 didn't make me suffer lol

[sleek oar]

Drops at midnight id youre in hongkong lol

[prisma monolith]

Im talking about early access

[hearty trout]

Why?

[prisma monolith]

A large of numbers of players already owns the game

Cause silksong is out? Idk

[uncut galleon]

we missed out on everyone camping in front of the steam store in cosplay

[loud stirrup]

"currently waiting for silksong"

[hearty trout]

OOOOOO

The waiting for silksong part xD

[robust basin]

Yeah, but skong dropped at the same time for everyone even without the EA

[oblique walrus]

EA released the day before I wasn't gonna be home for a 4 day weekend so that sucked lol

[bold walrus]

Will Hades II have cross saves too? I wonder if it's worth it buy it on Switch too

[prisma monolith]

Yes, thats my point, there was the entire world waiting, hades already let a large numbers of players in

[sleek oar]

Theres cross saves

[bold walrus]

Very good.

[oblique walrus]

2025 really is the year of goat indies huh

[wet echo]

yes 🙂 i believe they said it in the announcement on steam

[robust basin]

It doesn't make any sense...

Yes it does
