[prisma monolith]

What caused the crash was the amount of people trying to buy

[oblique walrus]

The point is a huge portion of us have been playing Hades 2 for a year and a half

[prisma monolith]

Hades alleviated that by being available on early access

[oblique walrus]

So the amount of people flooding in will automatically be smaller

[prisma monolith]

^

Maybe it crashes who knows, but I don't think it will because of that

[loud stirrup]

this year in general has been great for games, so much stuff i wanted to play

[robust basin]

I missed the first message, yeah ofc.
Also I don't think Hades 2 will have a similar reach

[sleek oar]

I got a long day of uni ahead and then making sure grandpa never sees the light of day again

[prisma monolith]

Im sure hades will have a bigger reach

Dare I say at this point hades is bigger than hk

[bold walrus]

Doubt.

[raw topaz]

His time has come

[plain shale]

Lord please let hades two be game of the year contender so I can hear the title theme in orchestra

[loud stirrup]

also yeah Silksong was hands down the most hyped up indie game of all time, Hades 2 won't have the same impact because of their early access

[oblique walrus]

Unsure if Hades 2 has the same reach as silksong mostly because I don't care and love both

2 cakes type beat

[loud stirrup]

a take of the hotness i see

[plain shale]

Oh my goodness there’s two cake ahh type

[raven perch]

You’d be incredibly incorrect

[loud stirrup]

I wouldve agreed in the Hades 1 period, but Silksong blew HK out of the water
Either way I love both so it doesn't really matter at all

[oblique walrus]

Both have a lot of content for the price

[raw topaz]

I have no clue whether skong or hades 2 has bigger reach, both are amazing

[loud stirrup]

yeah the fact they made skong only 5 dollars more was astonishing to me

[loud stirrup]

i was fully expecting an increase to 30 at the very least

[oblique walrus]

It's honestly amazing to me that like even day one EA the amount of content in Hades 2 felt like it justified the price to me lmao

Me grimacing every time I beat a boss for the first time worrying I would get booted back to the hub

[broken glen]

Time cannot be stopped 🫡

[wide river]

can time not be stopped?

[prisma monolith]

I have stopped tike countless times

[tender river]

Maybe this chat should change to discussion-no-endgame-spoilers for a week or two?

[loud stirrup]

SGG is supremely good at polishing their games (and everything else in general tbh, this studio amazes me every time I see their updates)

[broken glen]

ANTI GOLDEN AGE LANGUAGE ❌

[plain shale]

I think it’s justified the 5$ increase like hades two made hades one look like a tutorial

[oblique walrus]

I've been playing since bastion trust me I know

[wide river]

SILVER AGE SUPREMACY 🩶

[spiral canopy]

there is #h2-for-new-players for no spoiler channel

oh wrong quote

chat moved on me 😔

[loud stirrup]

hey im not a new player 😠

[oblique walrus]

Heck the only reason I didn't play Hades 1 EA is cause I got behind on games and wanted to play pyre first

[jolly flower]

What are the strongest hexes currently?

[faint river]

total eclipse

[spiral canopy]

u wiggled and got in my way by mistake :3

[raw topaz]

I cast Time Stop

[raven perch]

Tribeam lunar ray and godsent total eclipse

[sharp nymph]

soooooo close o0

[tender river]

Hmmm. I'm not a new player but also want a no-spoiler channel? I know this says it at the top in the description now, but..... I'll be muting it anyway I guess.

[robust basin]

Hades 1 apparently sold 7 millions copies skong sold 3 millions in 3 days, this isn't that unreal after all

[wide river]

night bloom, moon water, wolf howl are good takes

[loud stirrup]

sorry they always called me the wiggler in high school

[oblique walrus]

Look as long as Hades 2 and silksong are both nominated for crap I'll be happy

[robust basin]

The chat changed to "no 1.0 spoilers"

[loud stirrup]

god i would love to hear both of their music in the orchestra

[oblique walrus]

[plain shale]

I want it in the game awards just for the orchestra

[robust basin]

With that name you clearly are! U_U

[raw topaz]

Now its time for the Balatro 2 shadow drop

[tender river]

Yeah I see the description. It's okay I guess.

[hexed belfry]

is hades 2 out?

[oblique walrus]

Wait... Wait WAIT THE BOSS THEME IN THE CITY USES FLUTES

[spiral canopy]

<t:1758816000:R>

[plain shale]

10hours

[robust basin]

10 hours 44

[hexed belfry]

oh cool

[faint river]

the only 1.0 spoilers out right now are the achievements. those are currently public

[rigid junco]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[oblique walrus]

THE FLUTE GUY RISE UP

[plain shale]

Imagine flute guy

[oblique walrus]

I see we share the same brain cell

[tender river]

<t:1758816000:t>, <t:1758816000:R> (approx)

[tiny igloo]

idk what it says about me that I legit forgot it only JUST turned midnight and became the 25th and i was like 'oh, today was the release wasn't it?'

[rigid junco]

We are getting close guys ! few more hours.

[wide river]

flute guy goes hard on sightless shepard, but i think scylla will be getting her biggest break yet

[faint river]

i just remember the orchestral balatro song went crazy last year

[plain shale]

The real question is which boss theme

[rare marten]

are acheivements really not retroactive? thats kinda ridiculous ngl, for how long the game has been in EA

[tender river]

eh? really? they're not retroactive?

[raven perch]

Some will be, some won’t

[raw topaz]

Bring in Josh Plotner

[rare marten]

I just launched the game and got zero achievements

[loud stirrup]

whats that supposed to mean...

[raven perch]

Because 1.0 isn’t screwing out yet 😭😭

[spiral canopy]

achievements that can be acquired in any run will not be retroactive, achievements that can only be done once per file, such as story related, will be retroactive. or at least this is how h1 worked

[rigid junco]

we get them after the 1.0 patch for sure.

[oblique walrus]

Legit I had that dang theme stuck in my head all weekend EA came out and couldn't play because in the marathon I had done I had just managed to get to the first surface boss lol

[rare marten]

so we can see the achievements right now but not get them??? why even bother putting them up then

[prisma monolith]

I have nothing to back it up, just a hunch from what i see onlinr

[spiral canopy]

achievements arent live until 1.0 drops man

[robust basin]

It was sarcasm, I realise now it can come off as stuff hate. I made a mistake sorry

[merry whale]

ragebait used to be believable

[spiral canopy]

just because you can see them rn does not mean they are live

[prisma monolith]

But yeah I say hades is bigger than hk

[loud stirrup]

lol no worries i know, was just keeping up the joke

[prisma monolith]

Who knows how steam works

[raven perch]

You’d be wrong

[raw topaz]

Its so good, thankfully I was able to displace the earworm with the clockwork theme from skong

[rare marten]

thats literally my point, why are they there when we cant get them

[raven perch]

Because reviewers get 1.0 copies or whatever

[prisma monolith]

You can't prove it since h2 isn't even out

[robust basin]

😅 I had a hard time following that one up!

[rigid junco]

My brother in christ chill, you will get them in a few hours when the patch drops ^^

[spiral canopy]

am i being pranked rn

[prisma monolith]

Some people work on mysterious ways

[oblique walrus]

|| The emotional damage though || mild silk spoilers

[prisma monolith]

Why not

[rare marten]

why do you think im not chill? I just asked a question

[oblique walrus]

Can't wait to turn the game on and maybe get 30 achievements at once

[tender river]

Silksong dropped to 5th in active players now on steamcharts.com.

[faint river]

idk how exactly steam works, but adding the achievements AS the update drops, idk it would be messy. silk crashed steam briefly, so take no chances

[raw topaz]

I was so ready to ||fight||, not to ||cry||

[oblique walrus]

I mean most of us have beaten it or are taking a break like I am ... It gets hard man

[tender river]

i heard it's long and difficult

[prisma monolith]

That's the problem when comparing them, since let everyone at the same time, hades 2 had players from over a year now

[oblique walrus]

😭

[loud stirrup]

||choral chambers|| is so damn good, best song in the game imo

[raw topaz]

Rolling credits means you've beaten it :^)

[merry whale]

it wasn't really the achievements that broke steam, it was ppl crashing the servers from everyone trying to buy silksong at once
anyway i think the legitimate answer is that they need the achievements available on steam rn to actually playtest and make sure they work lol

[prisma monolith]

^

[oblique walrus]

Ok technically I have but ... || Act 3 is some crap man needed a breather ||

😭

[faint river]

that's not what i meant. i know the rush to buy crashed it

[prisma monolith]

Not to mention there people who already have 1.0, so thats probably why they're there

[loud stirrup]

completely fair, i was surprised when so many people were bandwagoning because of the hype, the game is much harder than HK imo

especially early game, it can get brutal

[oblique walrus]

Oh I'm loving getting my rear kicked. Im not even currently stuck on a boss I just beat one and went... Yeah I'm getting a little burnt out lol

Gonna 100% it eventually tho trust

[loud stirrup]

also fair, cause its also longer and its only base game currently lmao

we dont know what dlc they have planned

[oblique walrus]

I think the funniest part of song is talking. To friends and they 2 shot the boss that took you 20 attempts and vice versa

[oblique walrus]

|| bilewater 3||

[versed sleet]

is the full launch of the game out? i see achievements on steam

[oblique walrus]

In about 10 and a half hours

[versed sleet]

got it i shall play megabonk tn then

[tender river]

<t:1758816000:t>, <t:1758816000:R> (approx)

[loud stirrup]

megabonk is also goated

[faint river]

it's silly to use the leaderboard to gauge popularity. the life cycle of a game exists after all. people beat it, take breaks, are busy. only games like minecraft or fortnite will have a consistently high playerbase

[versed sleet]

ill be at work/class thats a tragedy

real only multiplayer games can be judged by steamcharts accurately imo

[oblique walrus]

It's always hilarious to me when people are like single player game fell off

And it's like ... People finished it what do you want???

[loud stirrup]

wow almost like when ur finished with a game u stop playing it, shocker

[oblique walrus]

Like Hades 2 is a bit more replayable than most but even then I have other games I will put Hades 2 down to play eventually lol

Delicious media

[spiral canopy]

what do you mean you guys dont play single player games like a live service

(this is a joke pls)

[oblique walrus]

You will be cursed to be a spider for this crime of bad sarcasm

[prisma monolith]

I really hate today's brainrot mentality of "no updates dead game"

[spiral canopy]

[prisma monolith]

Is that mf elise

[oblique walrus]

Like damn silksong will probably get free updates but even if it didn't it's SO MUCH GAME for $20

[spiral canopy]

yeah

[loud stirrup]

that was me with hades 1 ngl lmao

[spiral canopy]

i like her (:

[prisma monolith]

I love her

[spiral canopy]

i should disable my server icon

[loud stirrup]

frick Elise, stupid camper jgler >:(

she do be kinda fine tho

[spiral canopy]

there

[prisma monolith]

She fine as hell

[loud stirrup]

🙏

[prisma monolith]

I know probably wont happen, but I'm still crossing my fingers for charon fight

Or some sort of shop related event

[cerulean lake]

If not charon, then im hoping nem

[prisma monolith]

For an extra discount

[finite talon]

I'm going to lie in bed, and be unconscious for a bit. H2 better be out when I'm up

[prisma monolith]

The problem with nem is the surface, she can't be up there

[raw topaz]

Investorhead-type beat

[loud stirrup]

proper Nem fight would be cool... they have a lovers quarrel and duke it out

[cerulean lake]

But i love her...

[prisma monolith]

I love her too, but it is what it is

[raw topaz]

Think of it as the only dancing Nem would agree to

My eyes

[prisma monolith]

Have been blessed, you're welcome

[pallid cradle]

Hey, no horny for Nem

[lost thorn]

anyone knows update when?

[raw topaz]

In 2 hours

[cerulean lake]

In 10.5 hours

[oblique walrus]

Wow I just realized we finally get to find out what the heck is going on with zag

[pallid cradle]

Wasn't 1.0 supposed to drop an hour ago?

[lost thorn]

2 or 10.5?? :/

[cerulean lake]

2 hours????

No its in 11 hours

[spiral canopy]

nope. <t:1758816000:R>

[oblique walrus]

Midday not midnight

[prisma monolith]

No

[cerulean lake]

#announcements

[bright fern]

1.0 was actually 10 days ago

[loud stirrup]

thats why im so EXCITED

[bright fern]

can’t sleep bruh too excited

[spiral canopy]

it'll be like 9am california time

[loud stirrup]

1.0 came out rn hop on

[pallid cradle]

[raw topaz]

Sorry, wrong server
On Fabtcg discord we just always say 2 hours when anyone asks time

[supple parcel]

Wait, she is? I thought that being bound to the underworld was just a Hades bloodline thing, I figured she just doesn't want to go to the surface because she sees deviation from "the task" ™ as a waste of time

[oblique walrus]

Me when I lie

[prisma monolith]

California isn't real

[wicked mason]

cant wait for tomorrow's release, I have a question tho if anyone knows, do we unlock the achievements if wehave done the game in early access or do we need to start again to get them?

[loud stirrup]

i love lying on the internet for fun

[cerulean lake]

It's midnight for me idk what its gonna do to my sleep sched 😭 but im sleepy now so maybe ill pass out early n wake up early for h2

[spiral canopy]

oh. supergiant fades out of existence

[prisma monolith]

Some yes

[regal pivot]

I am taking a road trip to the beach tomorrow which i am obviously excited about and while i'm on the road, the game comes out. So safe to say, i cannot sleep 😭😭 i went to bed at like 9:30 and woke up an hour ago and can't go back to sleep from excitement

[oblique walrus]

Read somewhere they should unlock though I don't know if it's gonna be in boot or might have to like interact with things to trigger the checks

[pallid cradle]

Welp, back to NMS till noon.

It ain't much but it's an honest living.

[loud stirrup]

best of luck on the road then, stay safe >.>

[raw topaz]

Also, h2 stands for 2h, so game comes it in 2 hours
Trust

[prisma monolith]

Some achievements will insta unlock like "reach x area for the first time" others wont

[wicked mason]

wait, does it? 2 hours? what?

[prisma monolith]

Get baited

[wicked mason]

i have been fooled

[oblique walrus]

People are memeing in delirium ... Forgive them

[scarlet dew]

does anybody knows when are we dropping?

[wicked mason]

well played sir

[loud stirrup]

i wanna see the satisfaction of all my achievements unlocking when i play the game again

[pallid cradle]

Trasgo was fooled

[prisma monolith]

In around 10 hours

[wicked mason]

9 am Pacific time

[loud stirrup]

and then ill get unsatisfied when i see theres probably like a couple im missing

[final token]

Have you seen all the 50 achivements ?!

[prisma monolith]

Hopefully my ap2 mod doesn't break

[wicked mason]

i have all 3 skelly statues, thats my pride and joy

[pallid cradle]

I hope it becomes a permanent file in exactly your game.

[robust basin]

So many games coming out doesn't even feel real

[final token]

GARAMA

[wicked mason]

dont wanna lose that

[loud stirrup]

thats what im saying

[prisma monolith]

I wish it did, I can't play without it

[raw topaz]

Hades 2 releases <t:1758816000:R>

[prisma monolith]

And I got the third when it was harder 💪

[pallid cradle]

Bro lives for that rush of not being able to pick anything good.

[oblique walrus]

Bro I just got spoiled on minor new content looking at the achievements and I'm not even mad

[scarlet dew]

jesus thats brutal

[prisma monolith]

I live for the rush of winning because of me and not because I had a strong build

[raw topaz]

Not the Fates!

[oblique walrus]

|| outfits for familiars !!!||

[merry whale]

10 hours for me to spend an all nighter trying to complete a 62 axe run before 1.0

[wicked mason]

i miss the old Umbral Flames 🙁

[raw topaz]

Wait, is there 62 fear in the game?

[prisma monolith]

THATS WHAT I SAID

[pallid cradle]

How old we talking? There was definitely a point in time I liked them and that time is not now.

[prisma monolith]

I loved release torches

[merry whale]

ye

[wicked mason]

when you Omega until you ran out of magick, not every 3 attacks

[merry whale]

then they decide to kill the new umbral flames,,

[wicked mason]

that was the GOAT

[oblique walrus]

Y'all remember that period when posideon staff ( I forget the aspect) was a free win

[pallid cradle]

Oh, aspects of fine line and Eos. Yea I miss those too.

[merry whale]

like i don't get reducing power on flame spec like that just makes scorch spec way more meta

[wicked mason]

i dont, how was that?

[raw topaz]

O that one, ye, magik spendy boons went hard with it

[wicked mason]

whats your go to Boon at the start? Mine is either Demeter Hestia or Zeus

[oblique walrus]

I hope they buff ares a bit he still feels a bit wonky to me atm

[pallid cradle]

Moros with fine line was almost on Medea tier.

[raw topaz]

Ares gon' need some help from Damocles

[oblique walrus]

Like he's not .. terrible or anything but... I never go out of my way

[raw topaz]

Cause those falling swords ain't duin nuffin

[oblique walrus]

Glad that my pyro grandma is good because I've liked her even when she was bad

I find burn DoTs pleasing to me ...

[pallid cradle]

The only thing good with Ares is praying you get grievous blow proc chains.

[raw topaz]

I like collecting plasma, it's not great, but it's fun

[oblique walrus]

I remember the first time I played after they came out with plasma and I was so confused lol

[candid nimbus]

Ares Plasma builds with the Legendary are neat... But without it, I find Plasma builds miserable

[oblique walrus]

Like thank gods because blood droplets were hell on the summit but still

[pallid cradle]

I wish that mechanic would be removed tbh. The attack speed caps way too early and then you just turn into uncontrollable Mel.

[candid nimbus]

Also, why is it called Plasma? Doesn't seem pretty thematic for the God of War of all things?

[radiant pivot]

Blood plasma ?

[pallid cradle]

It was called blood before. Idk why they changed the name.

[oblique walrus]

Plasma is in blood and the red blood droplets were too hard to see

[raw topaz]

You slippery slide like mad on torches

[candid nimbus]

Ok, the red part is fair

[oblique walrus]

They changed the name for flavor and because calling it blood when it's not red would confuse people

[scarlet dew]

The double hit?

[oblique walrus]

Yeah that mmmm

[pallid cradle]

My first like 3 wins were just mashing the special button on staff on release.

[oblique walrus]

It was really bad on the summit cause everything is red up there lol

I kept dodging my own blood droplets 😩

[scarlet dew]

It was also before they reworked the staff, I think Asmongold or Charlie had a first time experience with it it was funny too see

[raw topaz]

Remember when Momus AoE restored you even if you spammed it into an adjacent wall?

[pallid cradle]

Step 1- Poseidon Special
Step 2- You win

That was release Staff.

[oblique walrus]

Yeah I used that thing exactly once and then never again because it literally just deleted chronos and it wasn't fun more than once lol

[glossy shadow]

Does "your attacks also do 60 damage to does around you" hammer proc nergal heal?

[raven perch]

[raw topaz]

My middle finger still hurts thinking about old staff runs

[scarlet dew]

I rly wish they changed the colours on brainwashed enemies (like the charmed ones and the hex ones)
Cuz when I do it fe, to medusas, their lightning is the same and I keep dodging them xD

[pallid cradle]

Keyboard player?

[oblique walrus]

I still hope they do I still dodge my charmed allies in the sirens battle

[raw topaz]

Ye

[pallid cradle]

Gotcha

[raw topaz]

I'm glad there is way less button mashing overall

[oblique walrus]

I play most games controller but Hades 1 and 2 just feels right on KB to me

[pallid cradle]

Oh, slow mode buff. We're up to 15 seconds. Damn.

[oblique walrus]

Actually really happy about this lmao Hades 1 was hard on my hands

Gilgamesh actually made my hands hurt

[raw topaz]

Hades 1 was also based tho

[prisma monolith]

Is*

Game is still there

[scarlet dew]

Yea I kinda hate Scylla... top 3 opp in the game for me with Eris and the Guardian back in the forest with shadow servants on... I f hate screechers

[pallid cradle]

I was an Eris Rail main. My life consisted of throwing a special in the air at the start of every room then holding the attack button.

[raw topaz]

Hades 1 was removed alongside California in the last patch

[oblique walrus]

It's not fun if you don't get the giant hazard bomb and almost accidentally kill yourself constantly

[prisma monolith]

Damn my meds take effect

[pallid cradle]

We can only pray Florida is next.

[simple nest]

I thought it released on midnight in 6 minutes so I got my snacks and everything bro…guess I’m sleeping.

[sleek oar]

Me and my 130 nights 🧍‍♂️

[oblique walrus]

Rail seems like it would be way more annoying to use on controller though

[pallid cradle]

If anyone here is from Florida just know, I'm not sorry.

[prisma monolith]

Midnight mfs when they release timezones exist

[raw topaz]

It locks your movement while shooting am pretty sure, so you can aim with left stick

[scarlet dew]

I only have ~500 I kinda feel depressed now...

[raven perch]

You could say I enjoy the game a bit

[pallid cradle]

I actually thought it was midnight too. I thought I was an hour late to the party.

[sleek oar]

Just a little bit

[raven perch]

Not too much

[oblique walrus]

Fair I still love having a mouse for aiming bombs though

[raven perch]

And in all those 1000 nights I have never, not once, done a run with Persephone skulls

[oblique walrus]

I didn't know how those worked the first entire run I did with them lmao

[pallid cradle]

... Really?

[scarlet dew]

I played both mk and con, I feel better with mk weirdly enough

[raw topaz]

Oh no, that is only top 0,5% of players, I'm sorry but you must hand over your gamer badge and your Wii Zapper

[sleek oar]

Not even the chaos one?

[scarlet dew]

[simple nest]

Yeah I wasn’t alerted to what time zone it was releasing in. If I see 25 I imagine I have access to it as soon as it is the 25 where I am like on PlayStation.

[pallid cradle]

Not the Wii Zapper. Anything but the Zapper.

[oblique walrus]

Looks at my 120 something nights ...

[raven perch]

Well maybe that one I forget

[sleek oar]

I have never done a charon axe run

[oblique walrus]

[raven perch]

But I do not remember consciously taking Perse skulls

[pallid cradle]

... I don't wanna talk about my early access save run count...

[scarlet dew]

But its fun T-T

[oblique walrus]

I'm honestly not a huge fan of axe in this game other than || nergal||

[raw topaz]

I have barely touched the funny stone, are chaos trials fun? I remember their difficulty early on was wack

[raven perch]

Everybody pack it up and go play silksong

[sleek oar]

My controller is not a fan of any omega attacks, the buttons stick 😭

[raven perch]

They’re alright, cool if you wanna try something you’d never try before. Otherwise naw

[raw topaz]

You friggin now it

[scarlet dew]

|| Nergal ||goes dummy hard tho with ||| Aphro|| |

[pallid cradle]

I've been playing No Man's Sky. Only survival game I can vibe with.

[raven perch]

You guys don’t need to spoiler hidden aspect names, just 1.0 stuff

[oblique walrus]

Beat the love into them

[raw topaz]

I don't think that's where you put the spoiler tag

[scarlet dew]

Try silksong xD

[oblique walrus]

I know I don't have to I'm just being hyper polite in case new people wander in cause launch is soon

[pallid cradle]

I have a feeling this chat isn't gonna be very spoiler friendly in about 10 hours.

[oblique walrus]

And I feel like hidden aspects are a higher tier spoiler than most stuff

[raven perch]

I already know everything that will happen I prophesized it in my scrying pool

[raw topaz]

Silksong is not a survival game, cause you won't

[sleek oar]

The chat is about to look like a censored fbi document

[scarlet dew]

xD RELEASE THE FLIES

[sleek oar]

Did you make a bingo card

[oblique walrus]

I'm abandoning this server till I see whatever the ending is lol

[raw topaz]

We about to look like the opposite of War Thunder forums

[scarlet dew]

tru

[raven perch]

I did not but some friends have

[sleek oar]

I saw pizza’s only, was thinking of making one

[scarlet dew]

Do we have a 1.0 Bingo card?

[pallid cradle]

I'm probably not gonna restart unless they outright make the early access saves not work. I just scrolled the whole cauldron... I am not doing that again if I'm not forced.

[raw topaz]

What would you even Bingo

[scarlet dew]

same

[oblique walrus]

Can I have a bingo card but every single space is just make the cat work with strength

[raw topaz]

||Cerberus|| as a rideable mount?

[oblique walrus]

Please let me use the cat im dying here

[sleek oar]

I fear youre not gonna bingo

[scarlet dew]

Make frinos actually absorb the shots instead of them getting over him

[raw topaz]

Sounds like strength will work just fine for you 😎

[oblique walrus]

Running DD just cause I cannot catch the last chronos fish for the life of me

[brave urchin]

I just realized how SG could end the story for Meli in the underworld. She actually frees her family finally, but its also a groundhog day situation where she always has to go back 1 day in time to beat Chronos again.

[oblique walrus]

It's the only thing I need for that auto collect thing

[brave urchin]

And Oympus could be just plainly stuck forever in the war on top since they kinda deserve it lol.

[sleek oar]

I like the nightmare theory

[raw topaz]

I'm so afraid of a groundhog day endgame

[pallid cradle]

How do we end the story for the surface tho?

[brave urchin]

The issue i have with that is, why would that nightmare nost just bein Tartarus.

[oblique walrus]

Nightmare theory makes the most sense to me especially since dream I carnate is apparently very plot relevant

[raw topaz]

You stop time and the game just freezes,
grats

[brave urchin]

You don´t. Since the Olmpians treated mankind so bad for decades, they actually stuck there now as punishment. 😄

[sleek oar]

Wellll its the whole night i guess

[scarlet dew]

idk I thought the whole point is gonna be freeing Olympus so the 12+ gods help seal chronos and thats it

[pallid cradle]

I'm actually curious if it's gonna be the 10 runs route again.

[dry cipher]

Afternoon

[sleek oar]

Theres no way olympus ends up in permanent war 😭 i dont think itd make sense at all w the themes

[oblique walrus]

I feel like I'm gonna have to force myself to make the FINAL run at both bosses be max rivals

[brave urchin]

yeah but how do you excuse fighting Chronos AND Typhon still post credit?

[oblique walrus]

Just for the cinema of it ...

[brave urchin]

Then how you excuse Typhon runs?

[pallid cradle]

... If it works like Hades 1 we're not gonna have to fight them in run 10

[scarlet dew]

Nah, you seal Chronos and Chaos just gonna pop up and be like "I'm wandering how these other outcomes would go down"

[empty abyss]

Nergal somehow is so smooth to play with

[slow gulch]

yall is it out tomorrow or what

[raw topaz]

Chaos keeps resetting it because they find it funny

[oblique walrus]

Look Hades and chronos are very different final bosses lol

[brave urchin]

Even better: What if we have to fight A NEW BOSS (level 3 Hecate , or the Fates)???

[sleek oar]

Im telling u im a full nightmare theory believer. The incantation will trap both routes in a dream

[prisma monolith]

I'm so ready to be disappointed at the whole nightmare loop

[raw topaz]

Hades 2 releases <t:1758816000:R>

[oblique walrus]

Granted that could happen but I doubt it

[empty abyss]

@slow gulch

[slow gulch]

i lit thought it was out today rip

[prisma monolith]

They can't let me down if I'm expecting dissapointment

[brave urchin]

yeah i dont like it. What about the other CHARACTERS in the dream? Prometheus? All the story related things?

[raw topaz]

It is today, just waddle over to a better time zone /j

[empty abyss]

you gae?

[oblique walrus]

I mean I feel like nightmare is a better ending loop than just having the game revert to before you ever beat them or something

[prisma monolith]

I don't like either

[slow gulch]

help 😭

[oblique walrus]

Games that don't let you save post final boss make me irrationally mad

[brave urchin]

I would top side just kep at war so humanity can thrive.

[slow gulch]

wdym

[brave urchin]

I am so PRO-Metheus. :3

[sleek oar]

I think just hating on olympus is gonna get you disappointed

[scarlet dew]

I needed to both at the same time... T.T

[raw topaz]

Lol, Luna said water'd top

[pallid cradle]

I don't think this game can have a clean ending that's actually satisfactory.

There's too much of an actual end goal/purpose. Hades 1 at least had a... Tbh pretty comical story to the point where the continued runs made sense.

[brave urchin]

water'd top?

[keen moth]

in 10 hours is the patch ? damn

[raw topaz]

Water/melon in your bios

[brave urchin]

[prisma monolith]

That's why I'm expecting dissapointment, they wrote themselves into a wall

[brave urchin]

🍈

[raw topaz]

I'm taking all pronouns at face value until they learn

[junior hollow]

I just saw the new achievements on steam looks sick

[brave urchin]

Who knows. The press already could play it and rating it 10/10

[prisma monolith]

The press also called it a rougelite

[sand dew]

im sure this has been answered 100 times but when will V1 drop? noon tmr??

[scarlet dew]

I rly think its gonna be either chaos runs or you need to beat Ch+T on fear 60 3x to vanquish them

[sleek oar]

In 10 hours 😭

[prisma monolith]

So my dissapointment already began

[pallid cradle]

It'll be a cold day in hell before I take an IGN review seriously.

[raw topaz]

That is correct tho

[brave urchin]

No no, they woun´t skill-wall the ending from people.

[prisma monolith]

No is not, the game is a roguelite, not a rougelite

[raw topaz]

Tomato tomato

[brave urchin]

LOL

[robust basin]

A red light

[brave urchin]

Minor spelling mistake.

[oblique walrus]

When you best hades 2 melinoe comes out of the screen and punches you killing you instantly so theirs no need for the ending to have replayability

[brave urchin]

oh gosh i have to finish my Supergiant fanart for the release! 95% done!

[spice mauve]

Good god i have to wait 10 more houres until the release

[raw topaz]

Spelling mistakes?? In a game about witches? How on-theme

[brave urchin]

[oblique walrus]

Which witch is which

[scarlet dew]

there is hero mode tho... tho I never used it ...

[brave urchin]

I don´t think 80% damage resists helps much for 60 fear for a casual player.

[sleek oar]

Idk why we are doomtalking the ending 10 hours before release but, i got hella hope

[oblique walrus]

I mean god mode is there but I'm gonna try and do the final run on unrivaled lol I've beaten both paths on it once but only once lol

[robust basin]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? You need to beat 40 fear 10 times to get the better ending, and 50 fear to get true ending

[raw topaz]

Feels like it'll hit different than some of their previous games' endings

[brave urchin]

Honestly, its healthy to stay doubtful about thinks. I'd rather be pleasently surprised than disappointed.

[pallid cradle]

I can't stand unrivaled Typhon. That final phase is so unfun to me. Unrivaled Chronos is cool tho even tho he wrecks me fairly often.

[brave urchin]

You overestimate the avarage players skill. Most people dont even beat 32 fear.

[sleek oar]

Just feels unnecessarily pessimistic to me

[oblique walrus]

No no you have to push the truck with melinoe using strength arcana and then underneath the truck is mew Arachne who will give you a secret item wh-

[keen moth]

was it possible to managed to completely solve the hypnosis puzzle to get the archive?

[brave urchin]

Whatever they do i will still love the game. The Early Access felt so much like a complete game.

[robust basin]

I am most players!
I still find it insane that I beat 32f

[prisma monolith]

Its ok, he stands on his own

[pallid cradle]

The achievement for beating Hades 1 on 8 fear was apparently low af. I think someone said it was like 13%.

[prisma monolith]

What

[raw topaz]

Under the truck is Arachne who makes you a dress so you can go to prom with Nem

[brave urchin]

and there is a nother for 16 fear....

[oblique walrus]

I think it definitely helps that you've encouraged to jump fear levels in this one

Hades 1 making you have to do each increment one by one was ... Yeah

[pallid cradle]

The fact so many people never experienced those glorious statues is truly a crime.

[raw topaz]

The system helped me push my limits way more than H1's

[keen moth]

wake up hypnos, i found 2 of that items to enter the dream world but hes still sleeping

[robust basin]

That sounds like a lot!

[brave urchin]

I have all of the muscle Melis

[sleek oar]

Completing 32f is worth just for that

[oblique walrus]

I'm also significantly better at weapons other than rail and Beowulf in this game. In Hades 1 those were like the only two I could deal with heat on

[robust basin]

Lol. I gave up the third statue

[prisma monolith]

Yes, we waiting for 1.0

[arctic nova]

does anyone know if there were any major narrative/dialogue changes for supports at hades 1 release? i’m in the middle of a few characters questlines and i don’t want to start a new save file yet

[raw topaz]

I love Hera Bow in H1 sooooo much

[prisma monolith]

For supports?

[pallid cradle]

Also you can claim this, but the fact you're in this discord puts you above the average player in terms of investment in the game.

[keen moth]

ah okay thanks

[sleek oar]

Lowkey in hades1, i have like no titan blood bc i couldnt be bothered to get 1 more heat every single run

[brave urchin]

I stopped all relationship after the first none-nectar items.

[raw topaz]

Only a voice actor change for Athena

[dense mirage]

I made sure to exploit pre-nerf momus to get all the statues 👍🏼 I never exited Hades so it wouldn't update until I got the last muscle Mel

[arctic nova]

relationships sorry i forgot what the game calls them

[prisma monolith]

I am so not starting a fresh file

[pallid cradle]

I exploited Medea to get all my statues and my first 50 Fear win.

At least it felt like an exploit.

[sleek oar]

Lmao help i just remembered i had a dream that they added a similar thing to the plushies in h1

[brave urchin]

Skelly is so based for creating these. Perfect taste in women.

[raw topaz]

They didn't change content but they are definitely extending the relationship meters on some characters

[prisma monolith]

And men, did you see the h1 ones?

[robust basin]

Hmmmmmmm... I beat Celeste and hollow knight, but my point is that these games made it so pleasant to continue playing that even if it took me double the time it took for other people, I spent that time willingly! Better player achieve what I did in 50 hours, and not 300 hours

[brave urchin]

Those were just self portraits.

[oblique walrus]

Oh crap we can FINALLY get a keepsake from Hades himself

Assumedly

[covert badge]

revert natural selection pls

[robust basin]

Nem approves

[dense mirage]

If Icarus likes big Mel (Circe) then he should go to the training grounds

[brave urchin]

AND ZAGREUS! PLS!!

[raw topaz]

hands over bouldy

[arctic nova]

can’t wait for the artemis extension ty everyone for the answers!!

[oblique walrus]

Look at that point we better get one from the whole family or else

[sleek oar]

Ppl that 100%ed celeste scare me

[brave urchin]

Yeah no way the three spots are NOT Hades, Persephone and Zag.

[raw topaz]

Could be Cerberus

[sleek oar]

I saw a guy do it for a youtube video and he was actively losing his sanity

[robust basin]

Finally we really achieve buff Melinoë

[oblique walrus]

[oblique walrus]

The mythical Cerberus pet I've been waiting a year and a half for...

[pallid cradle]

Celeste is the least rage inducing precision platformer ever. The music and instant respawns make it impossible to rage quit imo. I'm sure there are plenty of YouTube videos/shorts that would prove me wrong but I refuse to acknowledge them.

[oblique walrus]

🐘

[robust basin]

I am still missing the moon berry! T_T
And I did not get many goldens.
Still that game made failure enjoyable. Peak!
It is similar to Hades, although Celeste is ofc different

[uncut galleon]

nah i managed to rage quit celeste

[covert badge]

what if bouldy's keepsake is actually his mustache moss patch lol

[oblique walrus]

I need to get around to Celeste one day lol

[pallid cradle]

If I treat them like I have the object permanence of a 1 year old they simply don't exist if I can't see them covers eyes

[oblique walrus]

I pretend I do not see it

[arctic nova]

shaved bouldy…

[oblique walrus]

They peeled my rock

[robust basin]

And you do very well to not acknowledge them.
Celeste brought wholesomeness to the genre after supermeatboy and the end is nigh, and it is the greatest successor to those games.

[sleek oar]

The story did seem really nice tbh. I wanted to play for trans rights lol but im so bad at platformers

[raw topaz]

Enemies just don't attack you, you just have to talk them into putting down their weapons, like some sort of quick time event where you have to move a heart to dodge....

[uncut galleon]

downloading h2 on the switch rn... i'm gonna cry. i'm crying

[pallid cradle]

Super Meat Boy is the game that creates men

[long totem]

Alrighty guys, Hades II in a few hours, gonna sleep them away! (And school them away lol)

[sleek oar]

Naruto style

[oblique walrus]

Your taking too long with this analogy

[robust basin]

Nuuuuuuuu! The game is so well crafted both story and gameplay and the learning curve is so well tuned!
Yet I understand 😅

[robust basin]

Yet people give up when they play the woman

[oblique walrus]

God I forgot deltarune song and Hades 2 all this year

[sleek oar]

One day 🙏🙏

[long totem]

YES PLS

[oblique walrus]

Delicious Indies directly into my brain

[raw topaz]

Women create soft men, and women create hard men,
and women create women

[uncut galleon]

and nonbinary ppl

[sleek oar]

Damn women create so many things

[raw topaz]

YES

[raw topaz]

Big true

[oblique walrus]

Women also created || you losing the game because you unspoiled this ||

[robust basin]

These women be doing lots of creating around these parts ey?

[robust basin]

Wow... You are ||old||

[uncut galleon]

angel1c beating h1 64 heat inspired me to play the game. women ❤️

[sleek oar]

I deadass was like “what game? Hades2?”

[robust basin]

Wow... You are ||young||

[oblique walrus]

True but also ouch

[full estuary]

I'm sorry to interrupt this very correct thread of truth, but I was wondering if any of y'all have been able to get the 1.0 release of Hades 2 on steam, I haven't been able to get it on my steam deck yet

[robust basin]

We are all there. T_T

[oblique walrus]

10 hours

[raw topaz]

Oh no, don't send me to the beach, y'know, the beach ||that makes you old||

[oblique walrus]

Despair until then my friend

[raw topaz]

Hades 2 releases <t:1758816000:R>

[full estuary]

Oh did I read the release time wrong

[sleek oar]

I am 21 😞 i dont think thats super young for the internet

[raw topaz]

Ye, its in 2 hours ||/s||

[robust basin]

Yeah, but that is young enough to not know about ||the game||

[oblique walrus]

Look if you weren't born before 2000 you are a fetus I don't make the rules

[sleek oar]

I dooo know, i was on reddit during my formative years 💀

[raw topaz]

loses, dies

[robust basin]

Or the beach ||makes you social and strong|| you need to swim against ||Poseidon|| after all

[raw topaz]

My condolences

[sleek oar]

Yeah wasnt super good for me im ngl

[oblique walrus]

Look as bad as reddit is or isn't depending on the sub... There's worse dens you can grow up in

[raw topaz]

California, glad it got removed

[oblique walrus]

4...

[oblique walrus]

Arnold removed it after he left

[vagrant mauve]

It's 25th Sept. i can't wait

[robust basin]

9 hours and 23 minutes. We can do it

[versed sleet]

wait so how are there steam achievements rn

[vagrant mauve]

Gotta skong

[zealous cove]

will be recommended restart the game or start a new save?

[raw topaz]

Hades 2 releases <t:1758816000:R>

[raw topaz]

Its just prepped for full release

[versed sleet]

ah ok

[red ravine]

is it better to spend the boss currencies like the z sand and eyeball rn or just wait till it gets transformed to currency?

[raw topaz]

I usually start a new save for full immersion in the lore-tank

[willow forum]

Keep your save, unless u really want to start fresh, I’m keeping my save

[last inlet]

I have a similar dilemma, I’m def starting new game but don’t know if I wanna start now (at work with steam deck when I get a chance to play) and get a head start for release or wait to start when 1.0 actually drops

[willow forum]

But I’m tempted to start fresh

[oblique walrus]

Up to you. If you've only played a little I would recommend restarting but I've played far too much to restart lol

Personal choice and neither is wrong

[raw topaz]

I mean nobody has to delete their previous saves unless they want to

[oblique walrus]

No yeah I just don't wanna restart to each their own

[willow forum]

Same, I’ve put in 39 hrs lol, too deep to restart

[raw topaz]

It likely gets converted at broker rates

[zealous cove]

🙁

[willow forum]

Yh don’t delete, either do a new save or continue

[oblique walrus]

Yeah I one last surface run cause I was at 6 drops for that boss and wanted to get that upgrade for rerolling done before they thanos snapped my mats

[red ravine]

I forgot what currency it gets conerted to
I just know it was mentioned before but it was the decor currency or something else entirely?

[oblique walrus]

Prestige

The stuff for decor yeah

It's slightly annoying if you have uses for it but it would assumedly very much break the ending path for people that don't restart otherwise lmao

[idle cypress]

I already have 13k and like 30 z sand, i better be able to unlock everythingg after the conversion

[vagrant mauve]

10pm for us 🥹

[unkempt zodiac]

Considering new stuff is definitely getting added... prob not? Idk

[idle cypress]

If they add themes for the ui like the first game, those will definitely cost a lot

Also, i bet that the return from the olympus might feature an Apollo song, since there's been multiple lines about his talent

[restive axle]

I believe things like zs sand will be reset

[idle cypress]

Well yess, i meant that i'd have like a ton of prestige

[restive axle]

What is prestige?

[idle cypress]

Umm.. you'll see at the right time

[restive axle]

Oh wait nvm I remmeber now

[wispy storm]

hey gang just checking rq, if i open my game up rn and go into my main file i won't start earning achievements even though they're visible on steam right?

[tame turret]

I think it's when it's updated to version 1.0...

[wispy storm]

i figure the functionality to earn them isn't present in the non updated version but better safe than sorry since I wanna start from scratch when v1 drops

[stuck horizon]

If they're visible, they're probably earnable. Might be a question for a supergiant dev honestly

[idle cypress]

Nope, rn they don't work

[wispy storm]

good to know thanks for the confirmation

[idle cypress]

Tried and tested on a new save file..

[stuck horizon]

Aye thanks for clarifying, I was curious too

[shy charm]

tried to sleep couldnt sleep

hypnos is hogging all the rest tn

[wintry canyon]

T-minus 9 hours

[idle cypress]

First thing i'm doing is wake his ass up

[raven perch]

FAQ:

• Achievements are not earnable until 1.0, even though you can see them on the Steam page. Whether or not the achievments will be retroactive depends on the achievement itself, though some definitely will be.

• Your progress will be saved once you update to 1.0, but your Z-Sand and Void Lens resources will be converted to Prestige (decoration currency).

• The game comes out at <t:1758816000:f> (accounts for your personal timezone).

[wispy storm]

i think most of all i'm super hyped to potentially hear some of the old voice cast back in action in this new context

[raven perch]

It'll probably be less than you think + a significant portion of the og cast also voice characters in H2

[void sinew]

Is the game out yet?

[wispy storm]

i know, i'm just looking forward to maybe seeing a character or two return, seems reasonable we might see a few familiar faces

[raven perch]

We're not even going to see Zagreus. not on my watch.

[tribal delta]

gotta wait 9 hrs buddy

[long totem]

Chat I can't sleep😭

It's four am and I'm just thinking of waking Hypnos

[wispy storm]

i'm only betting on zagreus, if we get like nyx dialog i'll be surprised, megeara, thanatos, achilles? i'll be floored i do like to keep my expectations low but the possibilities are pretty cool even if they end up being cameos i'll be hyped for anything (and its no dealbreaker if theyre not there as well ofc)

[long totem]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-gif-18890916

[raven perch]

We're likely getting Nyx dialogue considering she already has voice lines in H2 + she shares a VA with Artemis + she has like, 4-5 children present who demand her attention currently

only half-counting Hypnos cuz he's dead

[wispy storm]

Maybe, but like, I can totally see them having only Zagreus as the front and center returning character and Nyx is left being the cameo at the altar of night

[long totem]

Dude every message I read from you causes me emotional damage

[raven perch]

No Persephone?

[pale aspen]

Any chance we’ll see Persephone?

[raven perch]

if we don't see Persephone I'm returning the game at gunpoint

What on earth is the point of the game if we don't see Persephone. the story is critically about motherhood

[tame turret]

guys, if we ask Chronos to move up the game's release time, I really can't keep waiting so long... I did my best to speedrun the day but the time hasn't come yet....

[pale aspen]

Retweet

[wispy storm]

I mean there are equal chances of seeing anything it's literally shrodinger's

[long totem]

Yess and we're supposed to sit still for NINE HOURS MORE RAAAAAH

[prisma monolith]

We already saw persephone, in a block of ice (time?)

[covert badge]

funko pop*

[slim pike]

Personally I'm waiting for the story beat where Zagreus tells Mel how to correctly pet Cerberus

[wispy storm]

im talking real raw conversation would be the hype moment, on screen model is a bit too low a bar for my excitement though it is appreciated xD

[raven perch]

i'm waiting for the story beat where cerberus eats zagreus whole and he's gone forever

[void sinew]

How many hours left for the game?

[slim pike]

Because come on they've been teasing us with not being able to pet Cerberus since EA1

[prisma monolith]

I can't wait for zag to be be all cocky "heres how is done" then gets whooped by nem

[slim pike]

I SEE DOG I MUST PET

[raven perch]

forget the Dog I want to talk to Bouldy

[long totem]

MUST OET THE THREE HEADED DOG

[slim pike]

New replacement Zone 3 boss confirmed

[wispy storm]

yeah it's kinda strange they haven't actually told anyone, it's like completely secret, the info isn't anywhere online or anything
-# (i'm kidding it's in 9 hours from now )

[sleek oar]

Kinda silly that the only hades fam member who has an aspect is persephone

[slim pike]

Hades already had one

[raven perch]

well to be fair. Nyx has a favorite

[sleek oar]

Well in this game 😭

[prisma monolith]

Does nyx not count?

[slim pike]

Zagreus had 6

[prisma monolith]

Or charon, or thanatos

[void sinew]

9 hours still left? 💀

[slim pike]

Thanatos is also RIGHT THERE

[sleek oar]

I was counting just mel’s immediate family

[raven perch]

They’re not technically part of the nuclear family

[tame turret]

Here where I live it's 3am and I still have to wait... although... I can sleep and that way I speedrun faster... when I wake up the game will be complete, it's not a bad idea..... HmMmMmMmm

[prisma monolith]

Charon is more family to mel than zagreus

[sleek oar]

How so

[slim pike]

Also kinda funny to imagine Charon just giving Thanatos his old oar and it's like "Oh cool, a scythe, now I can actually be death"

[prisma monolith]

Mel never even met zag

[sleek oar]

Like blood immediate family is what i meant

[slim pike]

Artemis is rather using her bow and Mel isn't a fan of them anyway

[prisma monolith]

Family doesn't end with blood

[raven perch]

Nyx goes to Charon all like “share your damn toys with your younger brother”

[slim pike]

but hey, we have an Aspect of Artemis too

[sleek oar]

Girl i know i was just saying

[slim pike]

And Moros, what do you really want here? Aspect of Wretched Broker?

[wispy storm]

Artemis gets to reveal two hidden aspects for two different sets of legendary weapons so if we find the fates im asking them what's up with that

[prisma monolith]

Yes

[raven perch]

She’s the people’s princess

[long totem]

Omg it's 4 am here. And I could speedrun the night too, but I also need to be up by 11 and be at school TILL SIX I'M GOING TO KMS!!!!??!????!!?

[sleek oar]

Artemis is just built different

[slim pike]

tbh, Artemis would probably enjoy the black coat. Support Fire and her old Artemis Aid is like coat Ospecial

not exactly a hunting weapon, but still

[sleek oar]

I have an artemis inspired tattoo hehe

[wispy storm]

which aspect is her favorite then?

[prisma monolith]

Prove it

[slim pike]

She used to use Lim and Oros, but I recall she shunned Coronacht in the first game for some reason?

[karmic wadi]

Pic or didnt happend

[tall spoke]

how long do we have to wait, because it’s 8.21am here and idk i was kind of hoping to actually be able to play it today

[slim pike]

8 hours, 40 minutes

[prisma monolith]

I cant wait for h2 merch, I love my cerb hoodie and charon shirt

[wispy storm]

oh do we have confirmation artemis wielding lim and oros is past not future?

[sleek oar]

Its kind of in my stomach idk if i can swnd that 💀

[tall spoke]

seriously? that’s 5pm for me.

[slim pike]

you're in the same timezone as me, it goes live the instant I finish work at 5pm

[prisma monolith]

Lim an oros is the the weapon itself not the aspect

[raven perch]

No she begged to use coronacht she was sooo jealous

[tall spoke]

i kinda do not like that we have to wait until 5pm

[slim pike]

I believe Artemis commented on once having them

[raven perch]

Yes

[tame turret]

NAAAH man, anyway, when you get home from school you can play. Try not to miss any spoilers. I really had a scare... today in my country it was shaking all the time.

We had 3 earthquakes XDD I don't know if it's a sign of fate, but I think they want me to not sleep so I'm ready for when the game comes out

[wispy storm]

true? (not what i was getting at haha)

[prisma monolith]

Yeah my bad you fixed your message

[idle cypress]

Hmm, maybe after first/second uw run, we free zag and he waits in the room with hades
Would be fun to see them banter some more

[slim pike]

Not to be confusd with Dim and Moron: The brother clubs

[raven perch]

Moron is Moros, because his name is the origin for the word

[sleek oar]

Zag is in his room trust, the three fates revealed this to me

[long totem]

Omg Venezuelan? I heard Colombia, Caribe and Venezuela had earthquakes :( hope y'all are okay tho

[slim pike]

Or the word Morose

[raven perch]

That too but it’s less funny

[slim pike]

Ever looked up Prom's brother, Epimetheus?

Titan of Afterthought, and an idiot

[sleek oar]

Hes just like me fr

[slim pike]

(Not actually joking, this is canon)

Surprised Dora hasn't mentioned him

[raven perch]

She has

[slim pike]

not by name

[tame turret]

Venezuela, yeah! But everything's pretty calm here. The last earthquake was a few hours ago, so everything's back to normal now.

It was pretty hot, but everything's cool now loool

[raven perch]

Well nobody’s mentioned him by name

I do imagine he’d kinda be like Padparadscha from SU

[wispy storm]

so if we just got epimetheus to come with on surface route they'd cancel out prometheus and we could avoid losing like 2-6 minutes worth of health each run

[slim pike]

But you'll only think to do that after each run, then forget

[wispy storm]

ah, fair point, i should have thought of that

[idle cypress]

"oh no, prom! Mel is going to defeat you!"

[prisma monolith]

Didn't know i was the brother of prometheus

[strong grotto]

Get hype for tonight gang!

[spice mauve]

Ngl I shed a tear when I saw the date

[covert badge]

i kinda imagine him as prom but derp out lol

[sleek oar]

Yesterday when i got home from uni i wasnt sleepy cause ppl pissed me off all day, i need that to happen again

[limpid oar]

Oh wow for once I could say the game is coming out today and actually be right!!

[sleek oar]

Cause i feel like im gonna fall asleep two runs in

[raven perch]

Just think.. you can blame hypnos for all of it

[sleek oar]

So true actually

[limpid oar]

@sleek oar what's your favourite h2 weapon?

[sleek oar]

Uhhh daggers

[spice mauve]

I'm almost considering cancelling my appointment tomorrow morning to play all-night 🤣

[limpid oar]

??? What's wrong with you, that no range thing is unplayable because you have absolutely 0 safety

[sleek oar]

😭

Howwww dare youuu

[zealous cove]

Will be hard mode in hades 2 like hades 1?

[limpid oar]

Honestly reconsider your life choices if you're a dagger player || yes I'm trying to piss jon off so that they stay up ||

[sleek oar]

Thank you thank you

[spice mauve]

Not all heroes wear capes

[sleek oar]

I may be on the wrong bus so thats definitely also gonna help

[fringe cloak]

we are so back

[modest dune]

Working night shift for 10 hours

FAQ:

• Achievements are not earnable until 1.0, even though you can see them on the Steam page. Whether or not the achievments will be retroactive depends on the achievement itself, though some definitely will be.

• Your progress will be saved once you update to 1.0, but your Z-Sand and Void Lens resources will be converted to Prestige (decoration currency).

• The game comes out at <t:1758816000:f> (accounts for your personal timezone).

[solemn frigate]

is it a good idea to start over for 1.0?

[frank eagle]

oh my its today

[raven perch]

No

[limpid oar]

It seems to be a popular choice here, i advocate for just playing your save

[modest dune]

Darn! Looks like I will have to stay up forever. Also it's my birthday tomorrow -- thank you Supergiant!! (170 hours in the early access so far 🙂 )

[frank eagle]

my save already has most everything completed so getting the story unlocked wouldnt feel as rewarding

[solemn frigate]

ok thanks

[prisma monolith]

Elaborate?

[idle garnet]

what time is da update? :D

[frank eagle]

8.5 hours from now

[prisma monolith]

In like 8hrs

[limpid oar]

H1 had a thing called hell mode where you started with heat unlocked and some of it always enabled I think they're asking if h2 gets the same

[idle garnet]

Oh 🥀

[vast abyss]

I'm probably play my save first and if I feel like it do a new save start to finish after

[prisma monolith]

Oh hell mode

[solemn frigate]

i thought they had that already

[idle garnet]

gotta stay awake

[prisma monolith]

Yeah gotta stay awake (I'm literally at work rn)

[idle garnet]

i shoukd be at school but im lowk so exhausted today I. probably Not Goinng to go

[prisma monolith]

Bros readying up for hades

Gotta rest up for 1.0

[idle garnet]

tru !

day before silksong i slept literally all day 🥹

[limpid oar]

If they add hell mode I hope it only unlocks after you finish the main story, it always felt like more of a ng+ in h1 to me

[final apex]

how long until the update?

[prisma monolith]

8 hrs

[lucid bronze]

will be ready for when I get back from work

[idle garnet]

do u guys thibk gherea gonna be any new stages, like after olympus?

[prisma monolith]

For story, yes, for fighting, no

[raven perch]

There will not, besides Elysium

[lucid bronze]

going to try and refrain from checking this discord i need to experience this spoiler free

[hallow vault]

So yeah many call that Game a Goty contender now

[idle garnet]

i see

[prisma monolith]

The run still ends on typhon/chronos

[idle garnet]

tuff

idk how you could top typhon tbh typhon is so cool

[prisma monolith]

I coudl top typhon ez

[meager garden]

typhon with a hat

[covert badge]

cant wait to watch olympians go evangelion congratulations clap to mel and she's just like thats it?? before back to the crossroads lol

[idle garnet]

Wait..youre right

[prisma monolith]

This is part of my ready to be dissapointed list

[lucid bronze]

just remembered we will see zag’s room

[mellow inlet]

typhon but with a gun

[meager garden]

I hope its better than the mass effect 3 ending

[idle garnet]

mel gotta be so pissed fighting literally the father of all monsters for like An Artifact and no ttue resolution

[prisma monolith]

Oh hi

[lucid bronze]

not ready to see what’s through that door after chronos

[terse bay]

[idle garnet]

[mellow inlet]

[prisma monolith]

You kidding, this is my fav game

[meager garden]

[peak moat]

i hope the discus throw victory message becomes canon 🙏

[vagrant raft]

[mellow inlet]

I just wanna see zag again

[lucid tartan]

The patch will be out in like 8 hours from now, right?

[mellow inlet]

yup

[raven perch]

Take a guess

[meager garden]

I cant read sorry

[raven perch]

Read these nuts

[meager garden]

whoa they spell "gullible"

[craggy oriole]

Time zones continue to be weird. But yes, about 8 hours left, night of the final day and all that!

[meager garden]

I'm tryna go to bed but theres lightning going on bruh

[craggy oriole]

I wish we had a thunderstorm going on, thunderstorms are fun!

[covert badge]

I can totally see this as a moment that plants doubt in Mel, like, “all of that effort, and I just get a quick ‘thanks’ and get told to go back?”

Sure, she knew it was a thankless job going in, but still, you’d expect a little more than that. Some kind of recognition or care, not just a pat on the head and a dismissal.

[mellow inlet]

also getting to the end with arachne's silk achievement sounds like torture

[meager garden]

just use arachne keepsake and heph boons, I think

[edgy ore]

so around 8 hours left.

[craggy oriole]

Getting the Heph boon that gives you armor each room would help.

[limpid oar]

I may start Heph for that one and do the keepsake region 2

[meager garden]

yeah thats what I'm thinking

[limpid oar]

I want to rarify my first Heph boon

[meager garden]

I would do it just because I want heph guaranteed in my pool

[wide river]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1340423316342571011/1420680920930844682/Screenshot_2025-09-25_at_3.58.15_AM.png?ex=68d647b6&is=68d4f636&hm=7e08ee343e184c258bd7bb70bc3d231aecccb11e34006a389a4e1634210342c9&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=3264&height=396 this is gonna be a pain

[dim gorge]

what do heph boons even do

[mellow inlet]

LIKE ACTUALLY

[dim gorge]

does he give the like 400 damage occasionally

[wide river]

sit there and look pretty

[dim gorge]

or is that hera

[wide river]

its 400 damage on hit with a several second cooldown

[mellow inlet]

I lose my silk after like oceanus XD

[dim gorge]

thats not too bad

[lucid bronze]

go 0 fear Arachne keepsake and keep it on the whole run + pray you get heph

[meager garden]

heph core boons are kinda bad

[wide river]

goes down by like 1 second per pom level and usually starts at like 7-10+ seconds

[lucid bronze]

until they’re not

[wide river]

if you get heph youre better off with non core

[dim gorge]

i really dont like hestia boons tho idk why but it doesnt work with the axe well and i almost exclusively use the axe

[meager garden]

heph is a support god usually, yeah

[meager garden]

hestia wants fast hits to apply more scorch

[wide river]

heph core with ||persephone|| aspect might be decent with the bonus pom levels

[meager garden]

hestia and poseidon are similar

[slim pike]

Kinda

[dim gorge]

yeah apollo attack is still the best boon for me ngl

[slim pike]

Hestia also likes wide area attacks to apply scrch to lots of enemies, you get more scorch DPS if more enemies are burning

[meager garden]

thats what axe does, yep

[lucid bronze]

hestia is fine on axe

[wide river]

hestia was always a daggers god to me tbh, and ||anubis|| hidden aspect too

[dim gorge]

with max apollo attack you can damn near one hit an entire room at once

[slim pike]

What Posideon doesn't tell you is that, while splashes don't scale with the weapon damage, the splash size does change depending on which move you use on which weapon

[covert badge]

hestia with axe special doe

[meager garden]

poseidon waves look goofy on axe

Still not good tho

[lucid bronze]

her cast is always good gain is ok on some builds and she has good secondary boons

[dim gorge]

i love the big chop hammer thing it makes you feel so powerful in the game

[wide river]

hestia axe feels bad to me since the axe base damage is begging for % boons

[slim pike]

20% bigger radius, or 44% more coverage if you prefer

Thanatos splash and burn is okay. Mel axe does rather want big +%

[meager garden]

not a huge fan of hestia cast anymore since the numbers arent that great

[dim gorge]

do yall like analyze dps numbers

[slim pike]

AHahah, let me tell you a thing

[meager garden]

it just cant keep scorch up without sputtering out

[wide river]

when i cast build i end up going with zeus cast

[slim pike]

Smolder ring is lying to you, sorta.

[dim gorge]

i just use what seems more fun ngl

[viral topaz]

yooo how many hrs till 1.0

[meager garden]

8

[slim pike]

The amount of scorch smolder ring applies is amplified by your cast, olympian and global damage bonuses (this is NOT true of flame strike/flourish)

and the damage scorch does is amplified by olympian and global bonuses (No matter the source)

[covert badge]

this might be fixed in 1.0 and im sad now

[slim pike]

So if you get origination going on smolder ring, you will quickly stack up scorch

[lucid bronze]

i didn’t even know this 😭 (the first part)

[jagged mirage]

yall how long

[mellow inlet]

8 hours

[meager garden]

#announcements message

[lucid bronze]

hestia go 1 patch without being bugged challenge (impossible)

[slim pike]

It's pretty recent, it seems to be a way to make cast bonus damage actually benefit smolder ring, but it goes a bit far

But hey, if you have the Furies? +30% more scorch, guarenteed

[dim gorge]

im hyped to see the story ending

[slim pike]

Get strength, origination and the furies? You get +100% scorch added, which is also doing +100% damage

for 4x the benefit overall, assuming you keep them in the cast

You can very quickly max out scorch at 999 with smolder ring and only some modest investment

This all may change in 8 hours, who knows?

Oh and lol, this effect interacts with the bugged aspect of Medea for +80% more scorch from just existing

[hallow vault]

In 8 hours

[mighty mica]

Ah man, thought the game unlocked at 3am eastern lol

[dim gorge]

i wanna play as chronos in like a flashback or something

[slim pike]

the achievements are there, but nothing in the game actually tells steam to unlock them so yeah, whatchagonnado?

[mellow inlet]

I honestly thought it was 12am

[wheat fog]

alice in borderland s3 right before hades 1.0 im eating so good

[viral topaz]

will 1.0 release today on switch 1 aswell? or 2 only

[hearty fog]

1 and 2.

[raven perch]

And 3 and 4

[viral topaz]

how about u make it 5

[wheat fog]

can i play hades 2 1.0 on my DS or nah

[viral topaz]

and add ps infront of it

[slim pike]

yeah, it's 1.0 on Steam Deck too

[viral topaz]

what about my tamagotchi

[prisma monolith]

Will it release on my Samsung fridge?

[astral lichen]

are steam achievements retroactive or do you need to fresh file

[serene stone]

Samsung Fridge is probably more likely than the DS at this point in time.

Nothing like paying 450 gold to get 90 gold

[sharp cosmos]

And that's Greater Chaos Below done, finally

[prisma monolith]

Below? Oh bro buckle up

[sharp cosmos]

Shoutout to Vampiric Cataclysm, gotta be my favorite Vow of Scars Cheese

[sharp cosmos]

I'd say, in my arrogance, that it wasn't so hard, but that's difficult to judge, because my 2 previous attempts were cut short by ✨ White Antler ✨

[unkempt plank]

Quick question to all. When 1.0 releases would I be best continuing my save that I've had since the start of Early Access or would I be better off starting a new save?

[sharp cosmos]

I hate White Antler, I'm not good enough to survive on 30hp

[raven perch]

You’re better off continuing your save

[limpid oar]

Have you played Nergal yet?

[sharp cosmos]

Since the 1.0 is heavily focused on story, I'd say start a new one in parallel to enjoy the main story progression as part of the gameplay. But that's just me

[sharp cosmos]

Actually yes, I can't decide if I like it or not (like the rest of the axe tbh), but I didn't play Vow of Scars outside Chaos Trials yet

[prisma monolith]

Great chaos below is easy pz, way for the above

[limpid oar]

https://youtu.be/diNqTwAtbrI

(this is max scars)

[sharp cosmos]

I don't see the issue

I'm also legally blind :v

But ngl, scars as a "new" modifier, and frenzy all the same makes for a hurtful combo (Altho I got frenzy on the last greater trial)

[kind gull]

hi guys i know this question probably been asked already so im sorry but is there a time today that the 1.0 drops listed anywhere?

[prisma monolith]

In 7 hrs

[kind gull]

thank you

[raven perch]

#h2-discussion message

[spiral isle]

as a hidden aspect I think it's passable. do be crazy tho

[kind gull]

im sorry

[raven perch]

Don’t stress, but do make sure to check the announcements channel

[kind gull]

yes i did check there and the readme first and also the steam page for the time but i couldnt find it :( thank you though

[hasty depot]

Got all the decor and stuff offered by Dora! From the cauldron to the decks.

[sharp cosmos]

Also, I must admit, a fully random run, with no meta ressources, and only for 50 gems so half of what you'd get with the thristy weapon is a proper shakedown. Chaos is one stingy being

[prisma monolith]

I mean you don't have to do them

Just there for the funsies

[raven perch]

But prophecy

[kind gull]

i played about 6-7 hours probably a year ago at this stage and dropped the game until the 1.0 release comes out, im really looking forward to getting back into it, i hope that characters that werent there last year might be in the game now, like some people from hades 1 perchance

[sharp cosmos]

That's true, but it doesn't offer a great incentive tbh

[kind gull]

have they explained why they changed some of the gods?

[prisma monolith]

Fun is the greatest incentive for me

[viral raven]

i dont mind it tbh, just something to do after youve finished everything. i dont think id enjoy having to do them if I needed it for something

[prisma monolith]

Time has passed, plus they are at war

[kind gull]

fair enough fair enough

[queen arrow]

Anyone know by chance around when 1.0 will drop?

[kind gull]

7 hours

[queen arrow]

Ty

[sharp cosmos]

Maybe that's because I'm a control freak but I don't find those fun.
Having no control over my run is a terrible feeling

[prisma monolith]

I personally don't do things that I don't enjoy in games

[velvet condor]

wait so whats gonna be in the 1.0 update

[sharp cosmos]

I enjoy the sense of completion of having done them and see the crossed line in the list

and i'm off for a few minutes, don't want to get spoiled

[raven perch]

Final story, new keepsakes, secret boss

[velvet condor]

oooo secret boss

[viral raven]

the only thing i kind of dislike about those runs is getting the ||artemis|| in the last area

[raven perch]

Its me

[arctic fog]

One must imagine Sisyphus happy one must imagine Sisyphus happy one must imagine Sisyphus happy one mu

[raven perch]

Sisyphus is happy! He’s free

[kind gull]

sisyphus is one of the characters i hope we get to see again

[arctic fog]

I am Sisyphus and I am imagining myself happy that way I don’t give up now

[kind gull]

him, thanatos and zagreus are the three i really want to see again

[kindred shard]

TODAY.

[arctic fog]

I need to see new Zagreus art desperately

[raven perch]

He’s never coming home

[arctic fog]

I feel like we might end up seeing Sisyphus. I mean Hades is in his room hanging out with bouldy

Does that set a solid precedent for us to see all of the special encounter folk? I hope so

[prisma monolith]

Secret boss???

When did they say that

[arctic fog]

When we try to pet Cerberus in 1.0 he fights us again, lucid this time

…/j but it was revealed when the achievements were leaked on steam

There’s an achievement for prevailing in the secret fight and that’s how we know there is one

[prisma monolith]

Oh the champions thing?

[arctic fog]

Yeah at least I’m 99% sure that’s what everyone’s referring to

[prisma monolith]

I'm assuming that's tied to the secret ending, but it will just be story

They did say no more encounters

[arctic fog]

That’s why people think it’s intended to be a surprise

[prisma monolith]

My assumption is just story

[neat kettle]

anyone know when will the update drop

[arctic fog]

You’d have better luck talking to someone else abt it I know everything through hearsay lol

[prisma monolith]

Yes everyone but you, since it was announced

[arctic fog]

Which is to say I know nothing

[neat kettle]

i mean hour i know its today

[prisma monolith]

Yes, it was announced

[arctic fog]

They also announced that! Check Twitter or the announcements page
