Yes lol, she's hilarious, she's very earnest about being strife, I love it
How do I get circe to deepen bond?
Eris is probably the worst character in both games. No motivation, no regrets, no development. Just being rude and impatient throughout the entire game with no change to her behavior
that's kinda the point i think
Being a bad character is the point?
not changing, having no regret for her action
yeah pretty much
That doesn't excuse her actions though
Why would I want to deepen my bond with someone like this, let alone allow her to be at the hideout
she is "made" to create discord 😅
Anyone got a list of what Hestia's Heat Rush protects against?
That still doesn't excuse her. The point of the game is "you are your own fate", and even after the epilogue Eris still decides to change nothing
Also very one-sided discord dont you think
so yes, she accept herself and decide to not change
So why would I like her and build relationships with her
There's no redeeming qualities or reasons for her to be the way she is
cause "I can fix her" :^)
She tells multiple times you can't
you never can fix them
Also as far as I remember she also says doing what she's doing is her choice and not her nature, she enjoys being an ass
Nemesis is also very annoying but at least she has a deep personal reason to be this way and she actually DOES change throughout her social link
also shes a mommy
Consider the following: Eris is fun to be around and that's enough reason for Mel to pursue her. "You can't change people if they don't want to change" is also a pretty big life lesson for Mel, so if anything Eris is doing her a favour by making her realise that
Based
How is she masculine lol
Aside from the haircut she's traditionally feminine, even wears makeup
True lesbian GOAT is Artemis
Am I missing something about Aphrodite/Demeter duo Hearty Appetite, or is it just the most worthless duo in the game?
+10% weapon damage for every 100 max health.
Ya its pretty bad you'll probably get like +30% at most
I wonder if it's the most worthless, but yes very barebone in general
I think the most hp i got was shy of 400, though in hades 1 I remember getting around 500
Even if you go all out and get something crazy like 500 hp, it's still really bad, a weapon based build should easily hit 300-400%, this wouldn't even be noticeable.
I've hit 1000 hp once before, and even that wouldn't save it
Pick aphro mirror > rarify passion strike > win
this could be global damage rather than weapon damage and it still wouldn't be anything crazy
grievous blow is better than this duo 
It would be solid if built for then
What is transistor role
You're not the sharpest lightbulb in the shed are you
Transistor is another one of Supergiant's games, in this server there is a role for every game
Ah okay, i see thanks
Far from it tbh
I traded math and science autism for roguelike autism
Ive 100% like 10 of them and hades 2 is next
You really can't make s**t like this up 😭
I can make far greater stuff up just you wait and see
Does someone know how work the lvl upgrade from Persephone weapon please? :[
It's random
do aspect of moros explosions count as specials or attacks?
Attacks
figured as much, just wanted to confirm. Thanks
Is there a way to fish for it at the start?
random chance to give lvl to each boon proposed, the more lvl, the least chence to get it (like +6lvl is very rare). Stack with hades pom
If you have the incantation, you can spam resets until your boon is highly pommed
what incantation?
Uhh there's a late game incantation that lets you salute the oath to reset the seed before the run
I don't have that
it's unlocked after the epilogue
Acceptance of another fate
Then if you really want to, you can just die in room 1 and try again until you get your highly pommed boon
Okay thanks
Just unlocked every achievement in hades 2, my last run was shiva with apollo attack, weed killer and apollo legendary
Also night for good measure lol
Shiva mentioned
Shiva is awesome and very powerful
I agree
Okay, for anyone who doesn't know why the ||nightmares|| doesn't appear in ||charon's stash|| it's because you now need to ||maximize ||your ||relationship ||with him + have 8 ||nightmares ||with you
imagine not having the greatest gift of gaia
what do i need to do to see kiss of styx at charon shop? im 90+runs in and have yet to see it. same with last gasp from ||hades||
Bad luck
So what wound up happening is eventually I ordered some other stuff through the stash and eventually had a conversation where Charon promoted me to 'silver rewards status' or something and that unlocked the nightmare
So it seems to be either spending a certain amount or getting a certain number of orders through the stash first, not linked to how much nightmare you've gotten elsewhere anymore
I absolutely didn't have a maxed out relationship with him, though I'm not sure how many nightmare I had on me
is there a bug report feature on this discord?
I found a small but kinda funny thing
wait i thought it was global damage this whole time lol
Press F10 ingame
10% weapon damage is pathetic
I figured it out, you need to have a certain amount of hearts with charon, and at least 8 nmare
what was the bug?
it was just something small and funny, got stuck behind the wall in the final area of the underworld by punching it
Hello,
I don't know if this bug is related to Alpha or so.
I played in Early Access for like 30h, then I came back after full release. I have ompleted "Deathly Fortune" Incantation, but I am only able to sell fishes, I can't sell greeneries, can't buy Kudos. Is there a fix for this? Ngl this is a bit frustrating. I don't wanna start over with over 70h in.
Description at the Cauldron also states I can only sell fishes
for born to gain, take the embryo keepsake to chaos 2-3 times
for arachne, i haven't done it myself yet but i heard at some point you have to take athena's keepsake to her
I see, thanks
Do y'all listen to the game audio or your own music when you play
Game audio, both because audio cues are a thing and because the audio is just nice
audio cues, sightless shepherd, olympus aflame, the end of time
Damn what audio cues am I missing out on
ok guys i think im done with hades, i did the fear i want to do. anything i can do to spice it up?
more fear
Uhhh speedrunning
i dont like speedrunning tbh me too slow and more fear would be unfun.
any way to tell what fish I'm missing to make Uncle Poseidon love me? 😔
You should take a break and play other games
Or you can decorate the crossroads, I'll suggest getting the figurine shelf
check your inventory for all fish types you've already found. each region should have 3 fish, for a total of 27 fish types
yeah they're all there ☹️
but it still says he wants me to prove my prowess with the fishing rod
may take a while to get the dialogue
i was catching fish since early access and he still took a while to say it after 1.0
thanks
im done with the game story an decoration wise
if you don't like more fear or speedrunning then there's nothing left really
all good things eventually come to an end
unless sgg makes another game or dlc
see you in 5 years soldier, good luck killing time 🫡
lol, just done a full run with Athena keepsake without any proc (chronos run)
H3: Prelude
You play as Chronos in his fight against his father Uranus, and later on against his sons
Did u have dd's
Nice one
H3 gameplay: you play as persephone and she gets to actually raise her kid this time for once
H3: Epilogue. You play as Frinos and he becomes OP asf
you say that as if frinos isnt already OP...
What fear you on rn
I'm on 12
Wanna up to 20 once I'm done with Story
Then go up to 60
After 20. The hunt begins for 60
Bet. Do all my uni assignments for me and I'll do it
I got a fcking degree to finish dawg
I was kidding dw 😈
i just beat 48
Mooooods bring back gifs and pics to this chat. The game is out already
I kneel
im not that good the keepsakes and boons carried
I'm the opposite
wdym youre super good and keepsakes and boons make you bad?
dont think those were ever allowed, hades1 chat never had them either
does anyone know why everytime i die i return to the crossroads with the calling card equipped even if that wasnt the keepsake i had when i died
also why when the eris fight is over the black gooze turns into fire when i stand in it
are these bugs or intended its getting annoying
there is an incantation that let you lock a keepsake to begin the next run with (there is a little yellow pin in the top left of the "favorite" keepsake)
literally any black ooze turns to fire even if the encounter is over
ok ill see
ok yeah its prioritized i am foolish
the black ooze though?
the black thing in the boat during second regions in surface
ik why does it ignite even if the encounters over
I'm the opposite
They were
Is there a certain way you're intended to unlock the hidden aspects of the daggers and skull? I swear I've been pounding my head against a wall for the past 7 hours trying to get them unlocked and Artemis and Medea refuse to give me the waking phrase. Have at least 1 aspect for either at max rank, tried interacting with them with any weapon, their weapon, only thing I have yet to try is interacting with Artemis with the daggers with her aspect, with Artemis have done it both on the surface and underworld. What else am I missing 
you max rank them and talk to selene a lot
when you said "at least one aspect at max rank", is it melinoe weapon or another one ? (need non-melinoe max rank)
I can't believe people are impersonating Foolish in this very discord smh my head
What triggers Chaos Trials incantation? I beat Main story and I still don't have access to it.
Has anyone completely finished the game full + full ? i wanna ask a question about late game
nearly 100%, you can ask
can we talk spoiler here?
got it ty so much im doing now
summary i cleared the game i saw credits i completed all prophecies fulled all decorations i fulled the rank || unseen 1 || all familiars weapons bounds aspects all done. still in shop there is 2 item || shaderot and iron || its says u need it for future upgrade
may be for the tartarus purging pool restoration incant that was added in unseen patch
if you've been playing before unseen and had already seen the pool, that incant will never appear
ye i play game since day 1 early acces
oh yeah it's that then, just ignore it
idk if this is the right place but is there any guides on how to unlock all hearts
does scorch cap at 999?
yes
is the wiki up to date in terms of poseidon cast still being bugged with cast % upgrades?
damn :(
the wiki is outdated with a ton of things so don't count on it
hey everybody
hades 2 on 95% sale when?
can one of yall update the wiki pls
fr
supergiant's first game that came out like 13 years ago recently went on sale and it was -80%
basically, never
just be glad its not Factorio
alr ty u. i feel relieved. coz that '' Needed Resource'' icon killing me
does anyone know when the soundtrack will be released on spotify?
no, it's all available on their youtube though
there's a full album video on their youtube too
oh yeah right mb
i mean hades 1 was basically free a few weeks ago
anyone got a detailed guide on how to ||cure arachne? i cant seem to get athena to talk about her||
i think you have to take the gorgon amulet to her
any reasoning behind the change in character art?
which one in particular?
from 1 to 2 most of the gods look a lot different in the steam trailers
oh lol yeah everyone got updated designs for h2 if they are returning
it's war time, after all, some of them try to look like it
well they can't just reuse the same art lol. the gods will have obviously changed a lot over the years and also have geared up for a full blown war against chronos
In 5 years
i saw like zeus looked a lil weird, maybe my eyes are bad
Aphrodite looks as breedable as ever
Nah he’s just wearing armor now and has extra effects in his hair
aphro didnt really change her outfit
she's probably actually wearing slightly more in h2 but, ya know
if you beat max fear surface she should be on mt olympus with her hair in a ponytail
how to get "he who rebels against the gods" in the three fates quest? im assuming its prometheus but ive run into him a lot of times already and nothing happened
just gotta keep goin to him
does oath of rivals matter for it?
he looks good in-game
I'm wiling to pay for multiplayer option that connects hades 1 and 2
I don't think so
the best voice line in the game is "HAVE ANOTHER!"
Anyone knows how exactly surface closed doors work? I just noticed that after clearing the room and destroying "cubic soul cotainer" one of the door suddenly opened. Is there a mechanic for that?
so I noticed some green damage numbers during a boss fight, does anyone know what that represents?
my best guess is hitch ^
That’s exactly what it is
Red is Wounds, Blue is Poseidon splash, Yellow is Blitz, Green is Hitch, and burgundy is Circe’s laser effect
that makes a lot of sense, thank you! I guess it's more like aquamarine like Hera's dress so that tracks
haii guys does anyone have tips in completing the surface im struggling a bit :3
speaking about hera: can we all agree that her dash is a very good boon since 1.0?
I often prefer this one over other stuff now. damage might be a little bit too high even, now that the range is great.
i was able to kill chronus multiple times but cant seem to do it with typhoon im assuming its cuz im using aspect of medea and its quite harder to do it on the surface but im not sure
It is absolutely ridiculous on Supay
me: "pomming a dash, what am I doing? wow this is good" 
Thing about the Typhon fight is if you’re stilling learning it is, it is more prudent to fight defensively than just going full DPS Chungus on him because he does have phase shifts where he becomes invincible for at least 30 seconds each
thats true
Typhon has attacks that cover the full arena, so stay out of the zones or dodge depending on the location;
Lasers: Left to Right (and in later phases, a second laser from Right to Left)
Chim Slam: Up
Exploding Balls: Down
Tentacles: Down -> Middle -> Up
Early on with fighting Typhon I did get a bit spooked about getting up in their face but got a lot better with it later on
for the first few phases of typhon it's also important to know that he can not do the same attack twice in a row and will always headbutt if you are close. so it will be headbutt -> random -> headbutt -> random and so on.
being able to dodge the headbutt consistently is the most important part, as he does it the most
Feel like I hit the money shot:
- use energy on hit (5)
- regain energy on hit (7)
- attack hits 3x (hammer)
- lightning bolt on energy spend
Death To Chronos.
It’s supposed to be harder than the underworld, for whatever that’s worth to ya. Highly recommend doing side rooms in ephyra, you can usually net out three or four medium rewards (hearts mana etc) on top of the six you get. That’s gonna go a long way especially early
you can see which doors will open before it even happens. it is a bit hard to see at times, but the ones that will not open have an X on the door or on the wall next to it. if you use headphones you can also hear the doors opening if they are off screen.
And if you beat the crap out of Prometheus comfortably, you’re gonna beat typhon too just don’t get complacent
thats good to know!! i died multiple times without knowing what hit me 😭😭
also the arcana that allows rerolls of bad rewards into decent ones makes the second biome WAY more productive
oh i get u i was especially struggling with that since i was rocking aspect of medea (a really close range fighting style) aspect
oh hell yea i was not aware of that
ill make sure to do so tysm :3
oh my god, is there a way to increase the chance of seeing circe
always have to lose at least a life or two on him 😭
just think about it like this (that's how it went for me for a long time):
you dodge every headbutt and tongue attack and you will win. the rest still deals a ton of damage, but it isn't enough to kill you fast enough 😛
I have to credit Hades II for requiring bosses to require more attention as such than they did in the original, felt like a nice ramp up
thats fair 😭
RIGHT?
Don't dash sideways on the chin slam trust me
The one typhon attack I still haven't mastered is the one where he spits a projectile that splits into 3
help im use lightning king item and its not giving me at least epic for attack even tho i keep undoing night for like 5 times
Yeah obtaining a speed/dash buff is always a good thing to have when learning it imo
Losing to typhoon with 500hp sucks 😔
Thankfully never had any close call deaths this time, I did get put down to 40 health on my 5th Typhon kill
And Prometheus nearly got me a couple times
I had so many close deaths against Hades and Theseus before finally getting them in the first game haha
prolly gotta reset the seed, die and try again
I think dodging that one is dashing forward with a precise timing
i planted wheat and mystery seed but i didnt know it affects
Thanks for answering, but I swear the door opened long after I collected award. Normally it happens instantly after. I just destroyed soul container and door suddenly opened then.
my bad, seed in this context refers to the random set of boons you get at the beginning. If you start with Hera keepsake and are offered epic attack common special and common cast, should you reset it’ll be the same boon rarities and types for a different god. so you’ll need to finish a run to get a new starting “seed”, that’s the term that’s used for the rng that decides how your run starts, planting seeds is unrelated but I see why it was confusing
If you undo night it’ll be the same seed resulting in the same non epic boon
oh dude that one sucks so much >~<
It has received a much-needed glow-up, its only downside now is that it doesn't play very nice with other sources of hitch and the hitch tier 2 boon that increases damage and duration of hitch
which is the minimum level of fear I need to play to unlock all the rewards? 20?
like contracts and so on
I think I never took the increased hitch duration before using this one heh. I can see how it is a little bit of a anti-synergy here, but MORE and bigger number 
and yes, 20 fear is the highest testament in the oath
32 if you count cosmetic rewards
I don't even do the testaments, I just max out all my credit cards on nightmare
Also uh holydr4gon are you a high rated WoW PvPer by any chance? The name sounds vaguely familiar and I see you've got holy light as your icon
hi guys, sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place - does anyone have any insight into progressing the ||Icarus|| romance? I've been stuck at ||"Icarus is reluctant to accept Ambrosia until you've had more time to reconnect"|| for 20+ runs now :/ I've passed the credits scene.
sadly this is another case of: just do more runs.
he has a ton of dialogue if you encounter him in thessaly/olympus. need to get more of those
Keep doing surface runs is all you can do unfortunately
thanks all!!
dude does anyone who has done the epilogue know what i need to hear from ||heracles|| to finish|| his part of "melinoe seek us"||
i have done a million runs, finished his bond, talked to him a trillion times
I believe it's ||some vow of rivals Prom specific dialogue||
||i kick his ass on vow of rivals every night||
god almighty is it like 30 times fighting him then or something?
just getting frustrating that im being separated from the epilogue by one bit of dialogue ive done a million runs to try and find
uhh if that's the case then idk what it could be, sorry 😭
||could try playing without rivals 3 a few times.|| I doubt this changes anything, but this seems to take way too long for you.
yeah i am unsure what that would change
but i have beat ||prom and heracles on rivals|| at least ||15-20 times||
**since the bond was formed
all I know: I did like 4 runs with it on, then turned it off for like 8, turned it back on and got the thing.
that's the only reason I suggested it hah
I never turned off rivals 3 and still got it
good, then my suggestion is nonsense
i only realized dionysus has that big thing under his waist because it meant lust and degeneracy in ancient greek lol
and small pps meant self control and civilization but dionysus clearly doesnt have that
||I have already beaten the main story (I think) and defeated cronos and typhoon with cronos, did another full run in underworld but nothing, so how to get zagreus/hades/cronos keepsakes?||
need help but heavy spoilers above
keep meeting them and itll happen
zag || beat his minigame bossfight twice, you can gift him ||
hades || meet him at tartarus, you can gift him and persephone ||
cronos || after you finish erebus, he'll be there next to charons well and keep talking to him and you'll be able to gift him ||
Guys does anyone know how many ||ranks|| are there after beating the game ?
||is cronos a thid time visit needed? cuz I was making sure I could gift him but the option didnt appear||
what ranks
just keep talking to him, you'll eventually get it
alright thanks
Specters, Nightmare, etc
do not waste your kudos and mats on that unless you have nothing else to do lmao, it does nothing and is very expensive and only shows in your inventory and victory screen
the ranks are wraith, specter, revenant, nightmare, unseen tho
I don't have nothing else to do 🤣
ok so 5 times 10 ?
50 ranks ye, total of 95000 kudos, 15 of each boss items and 15 nightmares
JUST finished the ranks myself, its a pretty hefty grind. I pretty much just ran Raki with Grave Thirst for hte gems thanks to some advice in here. Pretty just went Shiva Coat with Apollo, Circe with either Storm ring or Arctic ring with the Zues Duo, Pos-Pan knives, Supay with Hera, Pos, or Hestia dash, Charon Hammer with Lucid, and ofc my fav, Medea with Zues Special. I also almost soley did surface runs, since builds come together much faster up there 9 times outta 10
which hidden aspects are considered good? I'm not feeling the blades', but the axe seems good though I need to try it out
So I'm close to 100 hours into the game, and was wondering why I don't get more tiers on vow of rivals. I've read requirements, and defeating Charybdis is one of them. I have never encountered this boss. What gives
the rift has two minibosses and they're kind of stupid rare to encounter, just gotta grind it until you find her 🙁
how many times do i need to do this? she never once mentioned arachne and I brought the amulet like 3 times to her
The other one being the pirate fella, right? Which I see often
yeeeeep.
Supergiant really should have made Charybdis a guaranteed encounter once you beat the first tier of the vow of rivals
It's funny how most questions can be answered with "keep playing" and "interact with everyone and everything"
I wonder if it's a bug at this point. I fought him probably dozen times now
Yeah but it's sad you can spend 100 hours and never encounter one of the minibosses
...that gates progression
I mean, I'll keep playing. It's just weird that after finishing the story, getting all the night's champion statues, unlocking almost everything there's still a miniboss that never appeared just because of rng
RNG is a vitch yea
probably gotta get through all the story related dialogue first, which she has ... a lot. And is rarely seen.
it's bad design in this case, full rng should never be applied to something key for people to find/do
Stop talking Moros and give me the prophecy thanks
at least that can just be done by X runs and you're guaranteed to get it, full rng has no guaranteed X you'll ever see something
And some people are just that unlucky
1 in a million odds will still be expected to hit a few poor people, given how many units have sold 😛
Is there a way to sync icue rgb lights with hades 2? I've been using a PS controllers and it's way more fun seeing it sync the colors on the controller than I expected
just curious, any idea when we will get hades 2 (from fangamer) merch or no?
how do i unlock the improbable outcomes prophecy for the achievement?
I took off the eris bell why is it still active in the next region 😭😭😭😭
that is how it works, it lingers the whole run
GG this run is cooked
Eris when I get my hands on you 
spoiler ||i just unlocked that shiva aspect of black coat and its literally chuging nukes at mobs idk if its not game of the year, idk what game needs to have to be||
They changed it to be that way in the last major patch
Silksong
didnt play it yet but from what i heard its peak too like expedition 33
Uh , ok thanks I didn't connect my laptop to internet in quite a few days
I didn't even knew there was an update
i find it funny that people delayed their games to not deal with silksong only to have to deal with hades 2 and dying light the beast
Lmao
I mean back when the Unseen update dropped
Oh it was pre release update thing ?
Yeah
Do you get any incantation by doing that Medea quest of ||collecting Cerberus' tears||? I completed it and got nothing
Oh right I didn't partake in early access to know
TBF, it makes sense that you wouldn't know about it since Bell's such garbage that no one wants to equip it :3

You are supposed to talk to medea again
Do any of you have tips on how to make Howling Soul work?
I don't mind the other aim your cast boons but this one usually feels kinda hard to aim/use
Is there anything that could save me at this point ? ||I was going for 5th death of Typhon||
Well, I'd suggest looking for defensive boons like stuff from Hephaestus, Demeter, and Nitro Boost from Hermes
My stupid butt used this keepsake at first region 🥲
Wallahi I'm cooked , none of them will be in my run if I don't use another keepsake
it has innate tracking and goes the wrong way 90% of the time so either treat it as a melee range thing or get winners circle so you can cast again sooner when it misses
It's so joever
I have had the sell well for ages now. Is there a second sell well incantation?
Fig Leaf just skipped the Jellyfish midboss room for me 
Fig Leaf just raised an entire tier in my keepsakes tier list lol
I do have the incantation. I just paused in the rivals 4 fight.
It can do that
?
Imagine being able to do the same thing in Thessaly
Charybdis just takes the day off
Walk in on Charybdis enjoying a martini and ignoring you
where can I find the bank file containing my incantations?
Does anyone have any theories who the one pig with sad eyes and an anchor painted on his side is on circe's island
if there is such a thing
its one of Odysseus' crew members which were turned into Pigs by her
The Enchantress arcana card actually shows her turning several people into pigs aswell
Ok I can't decide on this one
||Dionysus|| Or ||hammer||
||Hammer|| 100%
Oh man, Circe is a master gaslighter ngl
Unless your build is already "complete" maybe
On the staff
Bro I'm getting cooked I'm far from complete
quick question, how does back burner interract with the moros torch explosions, like i assume i can just try and position my omega special bnehind enemies to trigger backstabs with the explosions?
Dio
You can get the hammer again, you can't get the drunk again
They nerfed strength 😭
True
Yeah, back in Unseen
Well, uh, hmm
it being staff does change things I think. I personally feel like most hammers for staff are less impactful on your build
If you're really hurting now, I think Dio is a bit better odds to get something that could help turn things around
I've been running strength with jeweled pom , so good
Alright Dio didn't have me anything health related it's so over
Grape juice it is I guess
I can think of a joke here
Chaos' Inferno-Bombs-on-death curse on an Oceanus room with swarming fish:
https://tenor.com/view/white-light-death-smiling-died-with-a-smile-final-fantasy_xiv-gif-25336896
Grape juice do be rather funny
That was mistake
Could this run get any worse 
probably
only if you're running axe and get the hammer that turns your attack chain into just one big smash
||LADY ATHENA SAVE ME||
Oh
Icarus could show up in a room with those big robot sentries
He takes at least two attempts to kill them and wow do they swarm in his encounter
wait, why does the wiki show that the arcana cards can be upgraded further?
Circe's incantation can upgrade them further for that particular run
ohh, forgot that since well I NEVER SEE CIRCE IN MY RUNS 
that happens
Rank 4 pig will also pull cards at rank 4
anyway to guarantee medea to spawn?
||I bonded with gale so this run wasn't a total waste afterall||
Nope. Suffer
But my god in already at taking 18% more damage now 
ok. I'll just undo night and change my weapon each time
with a mod you can
could just keep resetting the run
as in dying during the run if you dont see medea in the start
nexusmods?
use r2modman, the mod is called PonyAO
ahhhh they need to bump up the chance to meet narcissus
i suppose trhat's better than resetting the run
guess r2modman is the new mod hub. first time I heard of it was during ror2. have people stopped using nexusmods?
it reworks Ephyra to instead have every single room in the hub open, 6 random rooms are selected to have the pylons in them which are marked for you, when you take extra rooms it spawns extra enemies from Tartarus to make it more difficult
which also means Medea is always available
the mods hosted on nexus are just, not that great, installation is jank and has a high liklihood to cause file corruption issues. r2modman just, doesnt have any of those issues for Hades2
is r2modman the same as thunderstore.io?
Thunderstore is just r2modman but with ads
i recomend just downloading r2modman itself
always interesting to see what kind of mods people will think of. tipping charon seems like a fun idea, but not sure what that's supposed to do
lets you dump extra money into charon so that you can get the rewards cards things
that way no money goes to waste during a run
yeah, some runs I have a lot of money left over but can't spend it because I don't buy anvils and you can't buy food at full health
in such runs it would be nice to just give charon the money so I can at least get more credit cards
you could get way too many cards that way haha
true
yep. one was to activate it in tartarus, if you use that one multiple times you get a well in every region (underworld)
sometimes I have 4k gold at the end because I went overboard >.>
there will probably be some unhinged modded bosses
speaking of which. just had a fun run where I sold natural selection twice and got it a third time hah
silksong got an unhinged modded boss mere weeks after the game initially released
ah, then I have them all. anything else?
IVE ACTUALLY DONE IT , WITH THIS STUPID KEEPSAKE I ACTUALLY DONE IT PHEWWWWW
Good thing I only had 4 fears but like taking 25% more damage was not cool at all
Eris I hate you so much
if you have that one, I'm out of ideas. 
i just encountered a bug where i can go out of bound in a hades 2 summit room. where do i report it?
I've been out of ideas for a long time...
||finally got the entropy|| 
Actually no , thank you eris , you garbage keepsake made this victory much more exciting
press f10 to report bugs ingame
thanks! doing it rn
Is there dialogue if you beat the game with no boons?
...is that possible?
use moon beam to start with a hex instead of a boon and if you're forced to take a boon, purge it at the start of the next region
||do the asphodel sequences still happen in post game, and if so how do they explain it?||
Yeah there is
The flow of time itself is convoluted; with Titans phasing in and out
timetravel bs
Do they say that though
nah i was quoting dark souls but that's the idea
I mean do they bother to change the dialogue on that part or not
||so I have 17 pages + 1 incantation. if you have that too, you should have it all. so 86 incantations total and I can sell every resource without having a "you need this later" marker next to it||
Mel says something like "This can still happen?" and I think she mentions it to another NPC iirc
i'm paraphrasing
||yeah but does a Bad Chronos taunt you through a time tunnel or w/e or does he not talk||
and || yes it's still chronos||
|| but since those chronos don't know they are in some weird time split dimension they act as it's normal ||
I have only 17 pages... this'll take a while to check
man i dont know why they kept the asphodel bs in the game after TE
NOBODY enjoys being warped to asphodel guys 😭
Anybody knows how to unlock "Seek to know he who labors for the gods"?
I don't like them that much either but eh
Heracles?
it's not Heracles as far as I know
And I maxed out everyone except Hecate who is not opening up fully yet
it is heracles, but no one is sure how exactly you do it lol
It's Heracles
30 grasp yeppers 
So he is both "he who rebels" and "he who labors"?
Rebels is Prometheus
rebels is prom, labors is heracles
oh, ok, that's strange but might explain it
Do I have to activate rivals for Heracles then or without?
you know, the 12 labours of heracles and all that
i thought you needed to but i've seen some people say they never activated it? it seems hazy
I activated and beat rivals 3 and then it unlocked it
so there's my anecdotal evidence
not sure what i am missing. when i go to the broker, it keeps showing only shaderot and iron as a needed resource. I have gotten to the epilogue. was not sure if its just bugged or if i am still missing some incantation.
do people read the codex? it says "prove your worth on a fearful night". I presume it's rivals, but I did it a long time ago
To be very helpful, I don't know either lol
That's for maxing out bond with Heracles
But not unlocking "he who labors"
I still have no idea what that means because I already beat him multiple times on rivals 3 and the bond is still locked, but that doesn't matter because it's not required for epilogue
huh? that's strange
I thought "seek to know" means deepening the relationship?
Bruh
||Eradicating Typhon|| has such a lame animation
He needs to acknowledge it when you talk to him in ephyra encounters or somewhere else I think
nope, atleast not for him
or in the case of prometheus, just chatting with him
encountered him multiple times, with rivals 3 on and without it on, most of the time he just says "see you on olympus for the fight"
Yeah I dunno unfortunately
My guess is either beating him in rivals 3 is needed, or rivals 3 and a certain fear threshold, cuz "frightful night"
those conditions are weird
but yeah you don't need to unlock Heracles' bond to complete the Fates's quest
I unlocked his full bond by rival 3
is it me or vow of rivals 3rd boss of surface so damn unfair
you'd think it would be enough with 24 fear
But I'm pretty sure the hearts unlocked eventually in an encouter in either ephyra or olympus
oh you have not seen rival 4 then yet
lol yeah
Absolutely it should be, I don't think supergiant is expecting the average player to dabble into higher fears
I got all statues but it was such a nightmare task
im scared
it's one of the easier rivals, kill heracles first for an easy second memory game, also he's very slow and is most of the time just spinning blindly across the room trying to hit idk what
you better be
oh right, i forgot that i was playing on frenzy level 2 to get used to it, i should disable it
I strongly recommend the other way, ||Heracles can't stick to you so ignore him and just do Prometheus like normal, then finish Heracles from nearly full||
pretend he's just a particularly muscle bound bird
Is there a reason to gift to Nyx?
is ||nyx|| this game's version of bouldy in that shes a nectar sack that gives small bonuses?
dialogue
funsies
my entire gameplan revolves around the memory game cuz i'm bad at that but this works too if you are not memory challenged
Idk but I gifted her a couple times
same braincell
the memory game gets much easier if each time it warns you, say out loud the safe spot
no
Hades 1 has the Infernal Arms
Hades 2 has the Nocturnal Arms
Elden Ring has "The Sword of Night and Flame" so if that came to greece, would that not count as both an infernal and nocturnal arm? 
why is that an option then D:
||she gives it back||
i do that, heracles being there just distracts me too much. No big deal though I don't think the fight is hard
yeah and youre using an aspect of cheeselord
hum
Just autopilot dodging back and forth avoids him so easy though 😛
on patch 1.0 that is
it would count as, in Hephaestus terms, "piss-poor craftsmanship"
My roommates love hearing me with my controller and saying outloud top, middle, bottom etc lmao
I just always found if I tried to target ||Heracles|| first, then Prommy would keep nailing me out of nowhere
i mean yeah, but Hephaestus has a very high standard due to his very high skill, and he could probably improve it by simply spitting on it.
Hephaestus would look at the Mastersword and call it "pretty decent for some backwater kingdom"
he could also improve it by taking an actually good eldenring weapon instead
i mean, with some weapons in that game it's pretty obvious they are not made for the player
who else here misses when the axe had the block ability?
Definitely dont
😔
prob better than however the hell coat blocking works
coat can block?
coat slander is always appropriate, so the block should go on a real weapon 
legit i never feel incentivized to learn to block even with that weird ass hammer
What cast and familiar is best with aspect of circe?
i just got the third statue, what is it even holding, is it a head? whos heade is it
Hey does removing silken sash get rid of all the armor it acrued?
Schelenemnon
ig it does look a little like him
They all have their uses honestly but some more than others, some use toula because when active she's always near an enemy but not necessarily the one you're targetting (crowd clear), and gale tails behind you pretty effectively in case you want to go for getting the same enemy in the overlap of both rings
I'm currently doing a gimmicky engagement ring circe aspect run with Hecuba, who also stays near enemies, or at least tries her best to 
does it get rid of any of the armor it acrued?
no
must be memory of a previous patch then (thanks for letting me know!)
yoo what odessey guy walked over to the plants, first time ive seen that
the walking technology goes crazy
-# imagine your most famous story being named after you and people still refer to you as like "the guy from Steve" 
hmm maybe heph is a good god for the morgning knife
LOL
Just won an encounter by being afk
Nice :D got that on video?
i change my mind on morgning feeling bad to play also, pretty fun on bosses
maybe blood triad isnt wroth using on groups lol
I wish
I didn't even plan to xD
I tried to die in fact
So I can increase my encounters with Heracles
Is there a proper way of getting all godsent powers (for prophecy)? I'm getting the same 2 - 3 every time; it's been about 70 nights.
is infernal contract only offered once per run
are you on steam? use steam's game recording in background :]
Yes. And only at midshops.
I think it can be offered multiple times per run, but you can only take it once
not really into making recordings
I am trying to reach the epilogue
But "he who labors for the gods" is so hard to get
I have not experienced this yet. When I don't take it on an earlier biome it does not appear on the next mid shop.
could just be unlucky. but yeah idk
Just keep encountering Hercales I guess? With rivals 3 you get to talk to him a lot.
afaik the dialogue only pops in ephyra. and for me it only worked without vow of rivals
I see. Then maybe you need to gift him more?
yea probably, but at least you don't need to max his relationship
I actually realised the opposite
With rivals 3 it's even less
already maxed him D:
i dont thing rivals effects heracles chances as far as im aware
yea I meant more for his dialogue rather than chances. but the requirements for some of the quests in this game could be explained a bit more
it is a lot more confusing than H1
does dashing apply sprint boons
Just keep going to the surface? haha. It just happened for me around my 80-90 run.
I thought I'd FINALLY get that darn requirement for the epilogue but it's just not popping up
HERACLES
WHY DO YOU DISLIKE ME SO MUCH
at least it's only one dialogue from him you need
aaaaaaaaaaaa Crystal Figurine just gave me The Queen and Judgement at the same time and idk that feels so 
like mom and dad are with me on my way up y'know? feels so story coded, it was so cool to draw those 2.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
As far as I'm aware most only apply to the Sprint, a couple exceptions only apply to the Dash (The boons specify with the relevant keyword)
Can Athena not appear in Tartarus?????
Actually Zeus's says 'Rushing' is Rushing the 'Special__s__' of Dash/Sprint? 
She should if you have 0 dd and take the keepsake
or the heph +armor for the first 7 seconds maybe?
Or does the keepsake only work if you had no DD's before you equipped it
she can
It works if you lose the last of it after, but I'm pretty sure it needs to be a multi-phase encounter, and then the game rolls a chance (afaik)
What the hell bruh I'm getting scammed out of Renewed faith
Going for the true ending tomorrow
I don't wanna believe in all the mean things people say about the true ending, it can't be that bad man 
i know i had a run were the leaf didn't trigger all three times
hold up, is Eris a romance option???
yuh
I GOT SCAMMED WTF
yeah its still a bit rng, sometimes you get scammed
I just unlocked that half lmao, Melinoe is just collecting Nyx's children at this point
is there a way to get a different ending? Cause seem like the only one is Cronus re thinks things
by true ending you mean epilogue?
it says she may appear not that she wil
theres an Epilogue ending for when you complete a certain thing on the fated list
I swear it was a 100% chance
Ah that mist be what the ment by true then
Time for Chronos with only 4p HP and 15 armor I guess
FINALLY
I GOT THE REQUIREMENT
i mean for me she always shows up
also I need ||Dora to stop having a crisis after remembering because I want to decorate||
Hades 3 in Persian, Mesopotamia or Egyptian Underworld?
Idk , I just know that I finally eradicated the TY
So chronoss's end is next I think
how would it be hades then
It wouldn't 
if they do i hope its norse
Cause Hades got lost getting milk
oh my gods, I can locate the three fates now
But the requirement is kinda wow
and your playing him
Pluto, it's just Hades but all the characters have Roman names
you're going for the basic ending then. good luck! I personally enjoyed it a lot
Gigantomachy with Macaria sounds doable
I am so fricking pissed man wtf
This is just God of War
And Skelly becoming Schelanemnon to guide us
Norse is to far away for my liking
it would attract the most people
I suppose it the most pop culture of them
I truly hope skelly is not agamemnon
lol, definitely not
what's a relatively scandal-free greek hero he could possibly be?
bit of a shame there doesnt seem to be a line acnowledging the hecuba cerberus look, unless something just took priority over it here 
yo quick question abt chronos in hades 2, ||what happens when you interact with the yellow thing where his throne was after he dies? not the item he drops||
nothing, mel just makes a comment on it
(it's meant to be ||chronos reforming|| basically)
so it won't take me back to spawn right
nope
nope, going into the chambers on the right is what does it
aah ty
is there any way to stop the game from wiping my forget-me-nots at the end of my run? It's really annoying
I've literally never had a time where Athena didn't appear at all
Is it somehow because I used Toula and only lost the DD 3 rooms in?
It's supposed to work like that, if you mean the boon tracking
Yeah i know, i just don't understand why :(
Alternative do Japanese Underworld playing Izanami trying to get to hee Husband cause she is pissed about being abandoned
forget me nots for boons don’t persist through runs, forget me nots for items/incantations do
Because you normally don't do a run where you want the same things twice in a row
heck doesn't even need to Hades just sometimes with that as the plot sounds cool
Ok ... So what you think of actual true ending?
Yeah yeah i get why it could be useful to wipe it, but i don't get why there's no option not to. It makes completing the last few duo and legendary boons so much more annoying
man now i wish we got Izanami as a weapon aspect.
Weathering all storms
I think it makes sense
how on earth does aspect of sheva work
VoR 4 goes crazy on Chronos holy
OH MY GAWD
I GOT TO THE THREE FATES
Their designs are AWESOME
guys is dagger hidden aspect bugged? im spamming artemis on surface and she doesnt give me the waking phrase
I still didn’t understand how to, I used moros׳s keepsake 3 times in Oceanus
Boom boom charge kabooom
You have to use it three times in a row in three chambers in a row
And at the fourth one, you die
K
Special, Special, Attack?
Very specific, anyways will I get straight to them?
guys my arachne dres is at 29 and i just entered tartarus
Well each time a special hits the ground and you’re in it (omega special I’m pretty sure) you charge 1 power thingy for the omega attack, max is 12 i think or 6 Ik not sure and each omega special gives you 3 if you’re in it the all time, there’s also an hammer that gives it 3 more levels or something
Nice
achievement almost, huh?
@odd crag no
Apollo Lunar ray with the triple beam is so fun. Just make sure to save the last godsent charge for the bosses final stage so they aren't impervious to it all.
Do all keepsake effects stay after you change them or it's just Eris that wants to FW me ?
if the keepsake says "this night" then it will stay with you after swapping
Ah that makes sense
so I ||told arachne hecate knows who cursed her, but hecate is not meeting her in erebus and she's not coming to crossroads, do i just need to keep trying or do i need to do sth else?||
keep trying
Keep playing
I think she says she’s ready the next time you meet her and then you’ll see her in the crossroads when the run ends
yo how do i not have the denizens of the depths achivement? ive caught all three types of fish in every biome to get the max bond for posiden
I'm a little lost on how to trigger things now. ||I have End to Dumbest Slumber but cant find soot, I keep winning runs but nothing much is happening. Who should I focus first? Zag or Olympus? ||
spoiler answer for soot: ||just gotta talk to Hades in Tartarus a few times to get it.||
lmao got it right after the message
It is written it can be found somewhere in the house of hades I haven’t gotten it too yet but I think it’s through plot
Nice
Oh he explained it
#h2-victory-boasting message
wtf just happen?
sometimes the timer is merciful
I hope hades 2 get tga for this year 🙏
Same, same
it's also very good. I especially liked talking to hecate and prometheus afterwards
Alright, am I missing something? (Melinoe, Remember Us prophecy) ||I had the conversation with Moros, and the single item in the prophecy is checked off, but it won't let me collect the nightmare and it still hasn't given me any in game idea how to find the fates? (Not asking about the method, I got spoiled for that already, but I don't want to meta and I do want the nightmare lol)||
do you need to use all the uses of the calling card while you have it? or does it last the entire night like the description implies
you can switch and still rarify
cool
What’s the calling card?
Oh maybe I didn’t get it yet, I ended the main plot line and straight away went on vacation
What are your best gods for Momus staff guys? 🤔
Wouldn’t spoil it for myself
Tho I’m afraid I know
Hera maybe?
what are ppls "biggest change" boon x weapon combo? for me it's hera attack on anubis. Changes the game
Just beat Nemesis to another room hehe
Mel says „no, you don‘t“ hehehe
Any character we can have six with?
Hehe (I’m tired of trying to get the gif work)
||Moros, Icarus, Nemesis and Eris||
does the jeweled pom last the entire time you are at fates whim? or do you need to have it equipped for it to take effect?
entire time
gamer
So i pretty much finished the game, missing 1 achievement (great chaos below), but my recycling service is missing like almost 3 pages of items, how can i know what enchantments am i missing?
fairly sure a lot of things just can't be recycled
although on that note, kinda confused why i still have moly listed as a resource i shouldn't recycle. i've bought all cosmetics and finished all achievements, and incantations etc. as far as i'm aware. so presumably there's just some cosmetic lying around that i don't have access to for whatever reason
ohh cosmetics are also take into consideration in this calculation... that might be it
aah i misunderstood what you meant
can someone give me a small hint how to progress further without spoiling im assuimg doing the 'Melinoe, seek us' phropesy is to progress the story more but ive been stuck at having done task nummber 2,3,4 and ive done atleast 15 winning runs and havent gotten progress on any of the other ones?
Wait until a special dialogue with Moros only if you have completed most of the game, and by most i speak of almost all the game
i have done most of the game ive beaten both the surfface and bellow on max rivals so ive done atleast 20 winning runs for each
and im almsot full hearts with moros into the romance tree
and what of the other 2 ppl i need to "seek" i can assume who they are but i havent gotten the dialoge needed
Tips for ||Prometheus’ memory game?|| I can’t burning death defies
say the safe zones out loud to yourself as they appear and repeat them. stand ready in the first safe zone
taking boons that increase sprint speed (ex. apollo rush) can help a lot
you can also try to memorize the timing between each flame, and dash right at the start & end of the time in between to maximize distance
also most patterns you can stay in just 2 zones and ignore another one
I try doing that but I suffer from a severe case of skill issue 💀
The skull is me because he kills me
unrelated but just discovered that paid dues comes before security system... blasted
You can pause the game if you are willing to
True
I paused the game because my hands were getting numb in the Kronos fight and ||Kronos yelled at me for it ||
he used to unpause you for doing it 
That's his thing yeah
i thought he still does if you dont have the encantation
|| only for rivals fight ||
^ same
when was that changed lol
I don’t have the incantation because I never use Selene so there’s no point
.?
Selene is one of two gate rewards I will reroll
sorry how does selene relate to incantations lol
Both the boons the incantation mentioned are Selene ones
selene has one of the few slowdowns in the game
there's an incantation for time slowing Hex, there's also one that || allows you to pause during the rivals fight, he still doesn't let you, atleast in rivals typhon ||
alongside eternity
just use demeter 
Oh I didn’t know it affected a boon from a useful god /lh
Holy mother of god
I reached the epilogue
My jaw is dropped
I can't wait to get there myself
I lost my marbles
I did NOT expect that ending
The prophecy that says to clear ||two random chaos trials successively||, does it mean I need to ||clear a random chaos trial for two nights in a row||? Or is that a typo and it's meant to say 'successfully'?
could you confirm for me cuz i feel like im stuck not getting to the epilogue do you have to do the Melinoë, Seek Us prophecy to get there?
has to be either chaos below or chaos above. can also be two great chaos below/above trials successively, but it's easier to do the regular ones
yes
like for example I did great chaos below and then chaos below
Two nights in a row, though?
oke ty il keep spamming the last ppl i need hoping for the dialogue i need x)
um I'm not sure. I don't think it would matter, but just to be safe it's better to do it in a row
How many attempts did it take you ?

granted, I also did every other achievement possible
Like the 3 statues
so it took longer
Can I force the game to run a different seed? I wanna try a specific boon
Does Rivals 3 need to be off to be able to gift ||Heracles|| to finish the Seek Us prophecy?
there is an incantation called acceptance of another fate, but it's a lategame one
What is the best god for medea?
I think you need 7 zodiac sand and 5 void lens. there's probably more hidden requirements as well
Zeus?
zeus on special
I GOT ALL TROPHIES NOW
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
to proc origination
i think hitch is probably the best effect, but any curse will do
It’s ideal, yeah
demeter's curse is also good if you're struggling to aim your specials
Medea is best on mouse and keyboard
Everything is best on mkb
Just started playing silksong today btw!!
controller medea is very comfy
eh, i just don't enjoy games like this on mkb
I do
can just slide your fingers along the buttons and it does the combo perfectly
also there are very good players who play with mkb and very good players who play controller, it's ultimately just up to preference
True
But come on all max fear clears have been on mkb
Got 2 chaos gates in a run and got chaos to the number 1 highest damage leaderboard
all 2
not a good sample
WAIT SCYLLA JUST COMPLAINED ||i turned off the music in settings|| LMAO
Does Rivals 3 need to be off to be able to gift ||Heracles|| to finish the Seek Us prophecy?
i love this game
Fr, I need to try that too
I turned it off and then it worked for me
how many levels can i upgrade the crossroads? just raised to 3 stars, the cap is 3, 5 or 10?
I’m only disturbed of how you found that out, who turns off the music in hades?
valid concern, im listening to music with friends in vc
3* but yeah
Ohhh k
She's working on new vocals for another Scylla feature, cannot be bothered to fight you right now.
did you or anyone else figure this out? I'm stuck with the exact same thing. I don't really want to romance moros and it seems insane if its required to get the epilogue. I've been stuck on this for at least 10 hours worth of gameplay, and now I'm doing suicide runs with 0 luck...
not required
you get a chance to decline after it's offered, that should still progress things
i get a penalty for choosing the phial while having vow of scars on?
Oh thank god someone with an answer
I just figured you couldn't walk it back after you passed the cupid arrow, but thats a relief, I will give him some juicey thank you!
I'd note I haven't declined, but it gives the option and I can't see Supergiant forcing people to go into relationships like that they don't want
no the phial healing is penalizes
How do I get to the epilogue?
Any tips for Trial of the Supreme? first one that's really kicking my butt
Yeah, I really hope so. It's confusing and misleading if its telling you romance is optional, but you have to do it to get the ending...
that one is terribly designed and they should be rethinking how Ares' gain works solely based on it
My tip is: Don't rely on the coat. Force heph with a trinket and try to push him down to a decent cooldown for attack or special and just cheese that way.
Or any similar approach, you've got some options since you can bring in whatever trinket you want.
If you want to do it "proper", push for Ares legendary because otherwise the gain is useless and then just hit and run with charging the coat attack but not trying to make use of its mechanic because it's so clunky
the base game is easy, it's when you start stacking fear that things get exciting
There's kinda no reason to stack fear
unless you want a challenge 😛
There's kinda no reason to beat the game without weapons
is supreme one of the standard "clear one biome with a specific aspect"?
because those all sort of blended together for me
yeah but it gives you a terrible boon loadout for the aspect
it's the shiva coat + ares gain with hera on special and then you're starving for magick vs Prommy at the end
can you not just play it aspectless?
like coat can already be played as a generic button masher and work fine
it has very few damage boosts so you can just play it base but it's ... ugh.
It forces you into using coat attack/omega attack honestly, the special setup is so weak in it
and you'll still run dry because Ares' gain is sooo bad when you're trying to focus on omega attack (block -> counter)
im pretty sure shiva's base moveset is not bad
bond
it is when your only magick recovery is ares' gain
so i beat the game and im wondering ||who do i have to give nectar to in order to get trinkets for the endgame||
That's a very vague question
well i dont know man, i have three empty slots and i dont know who i have to go to fill out my trinket box
||dad, zag, grandpa||
which slots? Tell us the count from the right or something
probably these yeah
I'm guessing based on who I was missing lmao, I have yet to find ||zag|| though
The number is empty slots is already more info that your first question
thanks
oh wait i just loaded the trial up to check it and I see whats going on
||He's like fighting Charon in Hades 1||
just play it mostly aspectless
shiva's standing attack is better than base coat and the game gives you attack speed and a hammer that gives +power on attack
let me try to run through it now to see how it feels
-# lowkey don't think I ever ended up beating charon lmao
But back to throwing myself at this Chaos trial so I can go back to having all the ones I've unlocked done
yeah I'd never played coat in melee and you feel like you want to use shiva's aspect in the trial for it so the setup is ... really bad for that
sadly (imo) ||zag is easier; but how you get to the fight with him is similar||
oh god I'm hitting the point where chaos is like "uh hey buddy, maybe take a break from this trial" BUT GOOD NEWS I just got a heroic heavy metal B)
i mean coat is a close range weapon most of the time and shiva's basic attack is actually better than base coat
its a weird build to give you but I can see what they're going for
I've always just focused on omega special and it works great when not Shiva >.>
coat with burn on special + freezer burn triggered elsewhere pops big numbers fast
or even just burn on special + scorch deals damage faster works pretty well
finally finished basically everything there is to do in the game
another 10/10 game from supergiant
honestly I think they just need to rework Ares' plasma effects anyway and then sure whatever setup they want for the trial
anyone else having trouble with that incantation which gives gemstones for vanquishing guardians? doesn't work for me anymore
would have been done a few days ago but icarus bond takes 1 million years for some reason
you're using the selected weapon?
yeah you gotta use the bonus bones weapon i think
okay I just did the trial first try
Hades 3 co-op
it does feel harder than some of the other weapon trials but still doable
if you want to be super safe you can immediately go into the hestia/ares duo and then just play keep away with your cast
vs prometheus I used that a lot when it wasnt safe to hit
thank god. I just managed it
it's only rated 3 eyes
That's my other problem with it 😛
I could redo it now easily
vs regular enemies it feels like the game wants you to do basic attack a lot, you get attack speed, have the hera/ares duo open immediately
can also take slow cooker immediately and have it be good
managed to get ares legendary too alongside some other good stuff
the game doesn't really give you good tools to omega spam but it gives you other tools that are strong
why great trials don't increase improbable outcomes count 
the +30% enemy hp is pretty annoying though, took me 6 minutes to clear whereas most trials go by a lot faster than that
yeah the dragon mini boss is what kept killing all my death defies originally because I kept trying to block and the armour was just so much I couldn't get to a stun lock point
do you know how to dodge that boss?
I finally just shelled it to death across the nest
50/50 depends on the day lmao
if so worst case you can just play safe and use regular special + cast
its a very slow way to do the fight but its completely fine if you dont care about timer
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3585227957 the final build that won it thank god
if you care about timer just run until you don't get the dragon, I'm pretty sure there's paths even in the trial that avoid it
now I can make more treats for Raki
my biggest issue with it is the trial feels like "Here's a focus on a hidden aspect to learn how to use its unique features. Don't use any of them."
actually, i'm looking through older messages and people say it's ||great trials, but wouldn't be normal random trials?||
how do I progress relationship with Chronos for the epilogue do I need surface or underworld clears?
||one of each, then find him at the end of erebus||
is that the only thing u need to do for the epilogue?
I love that they gave melinoe a Kamehameha in this game it's pretty cool
there's a prophecy that tells you what you need to do
oh right forgot about that although its worded in riddles
you guys know the boon from hephaestus that gives you 10 armor every match? I slept on that, I thought it was armor that only lasted the match
Man artemis dagger might not be great at higher fear or anything but it can get some decent damage with a good % attack boon to go with the crit damage
I have a lot of fun with it honestly
Ares attack boon + sweeping ambush goes hard
blitz attack on moms skull? does it work?
Im just not sure the cooldown on the riposte thing is really necessary? Single target focused weapons are just not that great in this game to begin with since they gutted Pan aspect
Hmm i need to learn how many poms it takes to get cooldown cap with heph attack/special/dash
Imagine permanent crit and a permanent block whenever you hold your Oattack
The cooldown is absolutely required
Probably the most frustrating ones for epilogue are ||Herc and Prom||
No i mean you would still have one block per oattack charge
Maybe it could just be shorter cooldown
Really? I got those automatically when the prophecy finally popped up. If anything, ||Hecate|| was the worst
Yeah, but you can just put it back up by charging again…
Makes the game super trivial when you can simply just parry everything.
Youd be vulnerable between blocking one thing and the time it takes to release the oattack, play the animation and start charging again
any specific boons are good on morrigan?
||Herc is frustrating|| because it’s intentionally vague how fearful the night has to be
The cooldown is fine imo as is. Any shorter and you have permanent crits, and any longer is just bad
Iirc you just need to do ||Rivals 3||
Aphro or Apollo attack are really fun on it, or Demeter IMO, since easiest combo is O Attack, special, attack
Big Attack, pretty much Zeus on special, and winner’s circle is a nice bonus
I dont think its very close to 'permanent crits' if you compare 15 sec to the time it takes to get 9 attacks out with the dagger
Or O Attack, Attack, Special so it has time to proc twice for a big hit soon
winner's circle? big attack?
Special -> dash strike (hold to trigger o attack) -> o attack is the best most seamless one
The combo is usually Ospecial, attack special
Idk, I’m usually very conservative with my crits, so I usually do stretch it out over almost 15 seconds
Like, I pretty much only dash attack into Oattack
I think the really short range melee weapons deserve to be kinda silly against bosses
Its a massive limitation in this game
And phase change shields are a thing
Rivals Prom with knives is genuine pain
well gg, 100% the game but couldn't form a bond with icarus xD
“Guh”
Any percent attack boon, winner’s circle gives you your cast as a combo option for the blood triad
I used to try special, attack O special, but it felt too clunky, so I switched to special, attack O attack
who does winner circle belong to?
I "finished" the game, saw the credits etc. but even after all these many hours I am still missing Danaid Dagger from the minor prophecy regarding the Wells of Charon... I always check and never see it offered.
Am I just unlucky?
Hermes. It lets your cast expire faster
are you picking up special and attack boons early
Don’t have a boon for attack or special and you’ll get it eventually
Morrigan dagger highlights the issue pretty starkly, give the dagger a reasonable attack range and arc and suddenly its great
it will only appear if you have no boons in at least one of the two slots
Mel blades get clowned on by Typhon. Can’t even use the backstab mechanic
yo HOW do you dodge rivals scylla shell attack where she rushes you i swear bro
her hitbox is slightly ahead of her ive noticed its not fully accurate
I found him at the end of Erebus and it didn't complete the fated list goal
She lights up as she is about to slam so dash then
i do and she tracks me
I dont really count the mel weapons as comparable to the ones that cost nightmare to upgrade
Gotta keep talking to him until he mentions the Fates again (and you have to gift him stuff)
Pretty sure theyre deliberately 'beginner' versions of things
i-frame it, or dodge opposite direction maybe, idk
Mel Staff is pretty up there, as is Mel Skull and Axe, so I wouldn’t quite count them out
mel axe is its own unique playstyle too
Yeah i was about to mention mel staff since i did just watch boated's 67 fear clear
What smash, smash and smash harder
yeah
Best Aspect for Big Chop
as opposed to swish swish and swish faster. or 'just get lucid gain'.
Takes multiple meetings to max out the relationship
Just git gud?
Mel Axe genuinely makes you play like it’s dark souls on the surface
best trick to the axe, is that you can use the special to cancel out of the combo so you don't get stuck with chop
UW can be facetanked, but Olympus is not doable unless you dodge
Frinos and Mel Axe combined makes for a really funny early biome too
I can dash and chop to avoid attacks
how much hp does that give you
100
Is there a way to consistantly get heracles?
Pray?
What boons and hammers work well with Aspect of Mel Skull?
what happens if I choose a fear level that doesn't give you a bounty/nightmare. Do I get anything extra for that
No, it's not like boss rewards in H1 where there's something for every point.
Though you do have the Fear statues (8, 16, and 32/24) again.
Also, I've collected like 3-4 nightmare, why aren't they showing up as an item in the Broker's store?
Hey, so I’m running into a problem with getting my hidden aspects. For some reason, I can only get three of them. I have the aspects of Shiva, Hel and Anubis, and I’ve tried talking to the characters associated with the other ones, but they’re not triggering. Does anyone have any helpful advice for this?
is there some trick to quickly throw out an Omega special? Sometimes I end up throwing an omega special even though I tried for a normal special, and it's instant. I don't have any boons that do that
how many testaments in total? I have 48/48, will i get more
nice try chronos, i know you do damage but i have like 12 moon waters left with max hp
keep pushing the stone, youre almost there old man
can't put images here but ||I finally completed the "melinoe, remember us" prophecy because its marked as yellow, but I can't claim the reward?||
Gotta unlock all the other aspects and fully upgrade one of the non-Melinoe aspects.
It requiring non-Melinoe upgrades was a 1.0 change so not all the guides are caught up
What happens if I force shutdown mid room?
It might set ur run back all the way to the beginning
I wonder why so little people have the chaos challenges achievement
send the image in a priv discord then right click and copy link. then paste the link here
Atleast it did when i crashed
might? So it might not?
Try it and see 😁
It is saying proceed to next room to safely quit D:
so do that then
Yes if u quit when it doesnt allow u might regret it
I mean so many of them are a lot easier than normal gameplay
whole lot grindier though
I took the pom double boon from Echo on Hephaestus attack boon that had 3 sec cd. It doubled my 5 poms to 10 and cd is now 2 secs -.-
Yeah Heph cooldowns are capped to 2s, 1.3s if you have the Poseidon+Heph duo
Yeah but it's needed for important resources
Learn something everynight
still doesn't make it not grindy
The whole game is grindy, this shouldn't be a suprise
idk about that. it's only grindy to get 100% achievements. the story and epilogue itself is fine
Whatever you can slap together by the region 1 or 2 midshop lol
His moveset isn't crazy, so just gotta learn it and whittle him down. Upgraded Morrigan blades probably have the best damage right out the gate
am, I did ~20-30 fear runs and couldnt complete some of the challenges, like the ||30 health oceanus one||
not saying they are hard but most of them are definitely not easier than basic gameplay
I th ink I did the final thing with Eris, and uh....||I didn't expect for there to be literal sex in this game||
yay i finally cleared the surface.. I found the area 2 and 3 boss harder than the last one
Any fear is going to be harder than base game
I got lucky with that one with heph armour lol
i beat T the first time i made it to them
was talking about challenges being easier than base game, so I compared being able to complete ~20-30 fear runs but not being able to complete some challenges
also the ||olympus one with fel and hecate/zeus boons|| is a pain in the ass for damage as well but more manageable
Ooooohhhhh that makes much more sense. I upgraded my mel aspects thinking that was enough. Okay thank you
Achievement only requires 20 challenges though and you can easily find 20 with broken build. And so far my best run is 20 fear. And I only did it with my best weapon so theoretically I would be less skilled than you
random 20 fear with abysmal keepsake/arcana choices is definitely no joke. but yeah, gotta get that off the checklist guys/girls 😛
