I've been tryna find good cosmetic mods but haven't found any i trust

heavy glen
#

NOOOO ||right as i was talking to hades my switch ran out of juice||

hearty fog
#

We did get an incantation to halve the time it takes to level up Keepsakes, so it can't be that weird.

teal zephyr
#

Annoying to have to run them a while before they're at their full potential, at least they added an incantation to shorten it

shy leaf
#

ya especially if you are leveling a keepsake you just dont like (to have them all maxed)

teal zephyr
#

I have the 1.0 keepsakes rotting at 1 star still for that very reason, while everything else is 3 stars

#

At endgame I don't really want to be leveling keepsakes ngl

heavy glen
#

i feel like the incantations kinda pad the gameplay, i don't remember a lot of stuff taking quite as long in hades 1

covert badge
heavy glen
#

though i did stop at 620 runs

iron sonnet
teal zephyr
shy leaf
#

i think its partially just the number of different items that make things seem longer
cuz u might need to do multiple runs to get enough of a specific rock or whatever for 1 thing

hearty fog
#

I've got a number of early game keepsakes I still haven't leveled at all, that incantation makes a not small difference.

Brother, I hate when I need a specific resource and now suddenly it refuses to appear 💔

heavy glen
teal zephyr
#

Oh yeah Eris is also at 1 star for me, that I don't know if I will ever level

shy leaf
#

its like 1.5 full runs at the halved time so its not too bad if you just speed a couple runs

iron sonnet
#

the final three keepsakes are kinda yum
yum good keepsakes

shy leaf
#

as someone who loves being at the fates whims they are super nice

I have a question, is it normal for all 3 of your starting boons to start out without the persephone +6 lvl up in a run? I was wondering because out of 5 or so runs with persephone, I didnt start a single run with options of leveled up boons unless I used a reroll

iron sonnet
#

yeah it's only a chance to get the + level
not guaranteed

honestly a mod that nerfs surface would be super nice

i like charon tip jar because it feels nice to do lol

#

surface gets a lot easier with practice imo

#

regular enemies are quite harsh though i will admit (in comparison to underworld runs)

heavy glen
#

ohhh, this is why you meet icarus on a boat

hollow stratus
#

just lost 2 death defiances in a trial of gods from ares 😂

#

multiple b2b runs where mobs just shred

iron sonnet
#

surface definitely gets easier with practice
I still consider surface to be much harder than underworld though

hollow stratus
#

i think im just having a terrible night on the game anyways regardless

iron sonnet
#

just get to the third stage and pray for that one Athena boon 👍

hollow stratus
heavy glen
#

is ares surface-only or can he appear underground too

iron sonnet
#

rift does have a couple poop enemies
the casket that shoots the three burst projectiles AAAAA AAAAA AAAAAAA

shy leaf
#

he can appear underground yes

#

once he joins your pool that is
you have to meet the requirements from reaching a point in a surface run

heavy glen
#

I have met him, but only on surface runs so far (and me without nectar)

shy leaf
#

sometimes you just dont see a god for like 5 runs and forget they exist until you get them again

iron sonnet
#

sometimes you do a suface run and Ephyra has like eight thousand Hephaestus boons and like you don't really want him but you don't wanna reroll everythi

Is it possible to brew nectar in the cauldron?

Poseidon has some solid boons
I don't really like his attack boons though, unless I'm using Xinth
I think it's really satisfying to punch a guy and then just 🌊 🌊 🌊

vapid igloo
#

Its annoying have to run after them

iron sonnet
#

I just keep punching and it keeps you close enough to keep attacking

Having tried all the aspects and weapons i think the first games ones were better for the most part

spoilers for arachne’s plotline: ||im like 99% sure that there isn’t a good outcome for arachne, am i correct? feels like a hella missed opportunity not to have an incantation that at least gives her the option to turn back to human… maybe i just haven’t played far enough?||

iron sonnet
#

I'm pretty sure that's just how it ends
because after that encounter the prophecy is fulfilled so

Still its better than the Chinese weapon in the first game

I think I have more fun with the Hades II weapons and aspects
in the first game I did not like the bow or the rail but all the weapons here are pretty fire

it's probably just a skill issue tbh
but like I cannot bow to save my life

gotta say i like every weapon in both games except for the skull, i just can’t figure it out

#

when you talk to athena afterward, ||mel apologizes to her for arachne telling her off and is curious about athena's side of the weaving contest, and is surprised arachne insulted her, suggesting it was cause she was young. athena says this time she did know, and for mortals such as her they can only make examples of them||

hmmm. I found Hades a lot harder but I was also worse at this sort of game when I first beat him, I think Chronos is harder overall.
I also like the Chronos fight more I think, Hades doing "darkness" spam and disappearing got kind of old and I prefer dodging time bubbles and oneshots over waiting for dad to reappear so I can hit him. both great fights tho

shy leaf
#

i think that because a lot of ppl already have experience with hades 1 its hard to compare the boss fights
because you cannot play both without having some prior experience with 1 of them

Oh i also miss the shield

Oh and the Thesius fight is so much more enjoyable than Promethius or Cerberus

lowkey I just forget to use Skyfall

simple sierra
#

tbh i like aspect of selene

sour flower
# paper torrent yeah aspect of selene seems… interesting

imo selene is just for turning your brain off and omega special spamming. if you get the right path of stars upgrade you don’t even have to use your hex to get the damage buff (but you might as well anyway for the hex damage itself)

simple sierra
#

free dmg buff? don't mind if i do. I also mainly spam the special when i coat

iron sonnet
#

like I don't think it's bad, I just like Nyx more

Aurther felt like an entiarly new weapon

thin laurel

I find the hex system overall more fun than aspect of Nyx, but the Selene coat hex is kinda bland tbqh

simple sierra

Hel was the only slightly disappointing aspect for me, felt too close to torches. would love if it was old torches

"hit +2 targets" and "fire one when you Ω" are... fine?
but they don't feel as fun to me as some of the other hex upgrades do! they don't change how you can play it/build around it

Is it possible to miss an animal companion? I used to encounter Hecuba all the time in the fields but now that I have the cookies she doesn't appear anymore...

i dont think so
has hecate ||given permission for them to join you yet?|| because if that hasnt happened then it may just not spawn hecuba until then

She did. After she did I was able to ||make more cookies on the cauldron|| but when I visit the fields she isn't there anymore... I got ||Gale on Olympus tho...||

after a quick google she only has a chance to spawn in ||echos room|| so you could just be getting unlucky on that
75% chance so should happen eventually

Put him on attack/special depending on which one you use less and you have 1/2 origination, get some sweet boons like grievous blow after that

I haven't played Hades 1 in a few years, but it feels like it's a lot more painful to unlock the hidden aspects this time around. I've been trying for days, and all I've got is Nergal, and I can't even unlock it because the last two times I reached the summit, the game decided not to spawn serpent scales! And then as soon as I get Momus up to level five, Circe just decides not to show up in Thessaly.

not entirely sure, just more variation from run to run. more varieties of bosses/ within routes perhaps. or more so, even though we have the different aspects, they tend to play out fairly similar most of the time. like the aspect that buffs the special, you tend to use the special etc.

There are just less duo boons and legendaries that trivialise the game and you actually have to get good at making builds

and rightfully so. but i think it would be cool if builds developed more organically. like for example in slay the spire (if youve played that) you can have decks with similar themes, but theyre different enough to feel distinct. a lot of my runs in this blend together a little bit, upon recollection

rightfully so. its definitely tough, and some of it is (inentionally so?) not explained well in the game. such as how to make a good wand, kinda requires a bit of research to get the jist of it in my experience. but its fun once youre in

at least for smash it seems to be a mix of some new players n a lot of old players

smash makes sense. You often play nintendo games when you're young, and smash has momentum going for it, with a long and old scene

#

I suck with platform fighters because I'm so unused to precise movement with a stick lol

#

I just play kb

crude dragon
#

Like, the entire reason that platform fighters exist is because Masahiro Sakurai smoked a young couple in KOF '98 so badly that they left in tears, so he thought it would be a good idea to make a fighting game type for more casual audiences

i'm happy w where my skill level is cuz i'm not like thirsting for blood but also good enough to take a couple losses on occasion

platform fighters exist partially to also support stuff like items, weird maps, 4 player free for all, custom gamemodes
stuff that the online scene tries to remove as much as possible

there's apparently a niche jp comp scene setup where they use certain custom smash rules that change character weights etc.

Is it just me or is ||Field of Mourning|| significantly easier than ||Oceanus|| not necessarily the bosses just the realms as a whole

underworld zone 3's structure is what really does it I think. Hazards aren't that dangerous, you have wide open space, and enemies have to spawn in, and approach you to attack, with relatively few ranged enemies

limpid stream
#

Yes I literally use it as an irl rest zone to have time to stratigize for chronos

meager garden

the only enemies I hate are the occasional fat shade that sucks you, and the splinter enemy that sprays thorns at you from off screen if you dont' kill it fast enough

the structure of the zone is really cool, just maybe not appropriate for the final proper biome

you're not taking it for the boons, it's mostly for the free lvls

i may be too used to rerolls lol although i never end up using them all

the boons are just a cherry on top

I never liked the idea of rerolls nor forcing gods, goes against what I like about roguelikes

but i have to say the runs have been more fun since i started using those keepsakes

prisma monolith

Pom is my must start with

Never taking it off

bleak scarab

same tbh

#

the only problem with those keepsakes for me is that if you take pom, you might as well take the other two, which makes each run a bit too samey

solar tulip

I miss being able to reroll but it is quite nice, looking at you dash

prisma monolith

Nah, I dont like the other 2

Rarify is too specific, and it kinda beats the purpose of the random imo. And gold, too much gold i dont need thay much gold

I stick with my circe and icarus

Just range him and run away the only thing that hurts is the || whirlwind ||

hey guys, may i ask two h2 related questions:

  1. if i get the skelly tooth in the 2nd location and i don't die, will i keep it if i select a different keepsake in the 2nd location?
  2. is there a way to get more mana if you prime all of it during hera's born gain blessing? this happened to me with typhon 💀

I've never died to him even when I find him first region

#

Also I hate ranged fighting

#

Okay so for high fear, we go Pom, Rolex, Icarus, knuckle bones and or something similar?

#

Well I guess it's kind of a skill issue bc I rushed at him, the fight seemed fun. Also I was so confused bc I was trying to pick up my cast before realizing that it's zag's

Can you still brew nectar in Hades 2 or was that only for beta access

How do i get the Incantation for it? I have had ||boons of Aphrodite before defeating Eris, am i supposed to equip the beautiful mirror after the Rift?||

You might just have a lot of priority dialogue queued, I got mine on a random run meeting Aphrodite in Ephyra

high steeple
#

Oh ok

elfin heron
#

I got mine run 92. Is that late?

high steeple
#

Thanks!!

wispy storm
#

Took a while for me as well because I reached the ending before she could give it to me, which added a lot of new comments for her to say

#

I have the incantation for Ambrosia but not for Nectar rip me

Hi guys, i finished the main story today (not the end game), I did it in 80 nights, and I just want to ask, can I somehow make a bigger droprait for darkness? I think I get like 2 in the whole playtrue, and I didn't skip Chaos rooms.

for those who're already in end game, does the decorations has the same amount / much more than Hades I?

dull crow
wispy storm
#

Hard to say but I think there are generally more because there's so many places to decorate

#

And it's much more fun to get kudos than it was to get H1 gemstones imo laugheline

hearty idol
#

i see, alright then thanks ppl melsalute

for Odysseus bond, it says ||he has to "settle up with old acquaintances" or something||, what exactly am I supposed to

elfin heron
#

He'll ask you to do something. Eventually.

#

Will Ashes and Psyche forever be marked as "still needed for something" in the convert to kudos menu just because of the repeatable shadow incantation, or am I still missing something with them?

elfin heron
#

Shadow Extract.

woeful oriole
#

have I missed this something because I swear I haven't progressed his bond for the last like 3 patches

elfin heron
#

He'll give you a prophecy.

dense zinc
#

Basically I'm asking if those repeatable incantations count

buoyant matrix
#

if the thing you can make with them is no longer needed in any incantation, they'll no longer be marked

#

i still have the materials for brewing ambrosia marked as needed because i have a few bonds left to fill

dense zinc
woeful oriole
#

oh right speaking of prophecies, what is the familiar confidant prophecy, I don't have the achievement for that one

buoyant matrix
woeful oriole
#

I swear I've done that already. isn't that how you unlock him in the first place

buoyant matrix
#

it says "confide" on the button input

woeful oriole
#

ah got it

high steeple
#

I think it needs u to do that 5 times

buoyant matrix
# woeful oriole ah got it

it's extremely unfaithful of you to ignore your most loyal friend night after night. you should be ashamed 😤

dense zinc
#

I do it after every run to this day :p

He‘s got things to hear!!!

#

After being done with the story, does ||Tartarus slowly turn back into what it used to be?||

#

Or does the overall ||sand and gold|| stay

#

I gift nectar to characters, and i get a + heart but then in the char log, nothing is advanced on the hearts, or is it just bugged atm

elfin heron
#

For me it appears that way and then updates itself on the next room.
