i need to get temper of zeus godsent duo. i have the zeus prerequesite now i need to get a hex from selene. if the initial boons she gives dont include a godsent option is the run over?

okay wait what if i no diff VoR polyphemus with frenzy 2 on what if i'm actually goated (with the sauce)

shrewd geyser

I get the misinterpretation of the visual, but at the same time that’d be a pretty weak sauce attack to kill that tiny circle lol

To fix the issue with players complaining that chronos instakill is unreadable, supergiant should add a big "stand in the circle" indicator

Is there a trick to getting the last weapon aspects? I think I have fulfilled the requirements, but seemingly ||Moros, Selene, Artemis, and Medea|| want to talk about literally anything else.

Or do testaments give enough to max these days

you're missing the point lol

they give enough for weapons, but not enough for the pet skins on top of that

ah, that makes sense

I am working on nectar progress, and that one time nectar and brew is NOT helping

Hades 1 is totally fine with nectar, it's my choice

i still think it sucks that nectar is no longer infinite supply

I mean if you are really desperate you can always just buy nectar/chaos trial/buy nectar/chaos trial/buy nectar...

why? the old broker sold them indefinitely if you have enough gems

if anyone is still reading this: rivals typhon just tossed an egg that overlapped 2/3 of chronos' instadeath ring precisely as I was arriving at it, knocking me out of the circle and costing me a run. guys. that's just an unfair mechanic. i had been hit twice the entire fight. you really need to fix this.

Have DD’s on if you’re new to the game or are running exceptionally high fear. Run strength if you’re a bit more confident, as it really does make your builds excel. It makes every hit point more valuable, and the damage bonus is great

there's no way you think that running judge and then for example getting all the omega move aracana cards on your build that never uses omega moves is somehow optimal

i gotta hit the slots EVERY single run man

bronze marlin
#

judgement makes you stronger in the 4th zone and makes you considerably weaker for the first 3.
the last zone is not the hardest part of the run. that's why people call it bad.
and you don't even get that much stronger

graceful badger
#

Having no damage scaling on the contract boss on zone 2 is dumb.

neon isle
#

judgement isnt really that weak

meager walrus
#

Objectively, you are weaker early game with judgement

You may be stronger late game if you hit the correct arcana but you are only at best stronger by the "next best arcana" that you wouldn't have taken

Since rolling credits and waking Hypnos, I have three tasks left to do:
1: Find the Fates
2: Bond with Arachne
3: Bond with Icarus

For the first task, the hints I've found involve ||exploring both the Under and Overworld, while also getting contact with an envoy||. I'm guessing Moros/Mr. Doom is ||the envoy, and he has mentioned searching the void for the fates||. But the only location I can think of that involves ||void|| is Chaos. Is he related in any way?

also transistor’s gameplay gimmick is really unique and rly cool and I love it, the combat overall is kind of slow paced (red walks around like she has a permanent chaos curse) but the level of build control reminds me a lot of hades tbh, you have SO many options and the world is weird and neat

# runic glade Target the cast? What’s lets me do that?

hestia and zeus both have boons that let you use your cast at range instead of dropping it right underneath you
one god NPC on each route also offers a boon like that (||dionysius and hades||) but they're a bit harder to utilize at times

craggy totem

Yeah, I would say the spoilered two don't let you target it directly. They give you range, but not full control over the rangedness.

also with pan if you get lucky and get offered trick knives from an early Daedalus hammer you can change your build path a lot, and do something like blitz attack + aphrodite special (or another % special boon), altho poseidon is still fine

# nocturne grove Air quality is so disgustingly good

Now, I will say: it doesn’t work on a lot, but when it does work, it’s crazy. This is because the damage boost from air quality is the very last buff applied (for some reason)- past Olympian boons, global buffs, etcetera. So it oftentimes won’t have any effect on core boons once you Pom them enough, as their damage will exceed 50. However, on things like Demeter’s arctic gale, and static shock, it’s a lot harder to get damage above 50: making it perfect for air quality

  3. ||look for something new in mid-shops and interact with it during 2 runs|| more explicit spoiler ||that will lead you to a secret optional boss fight, beating it twice rewards the keepsake||

I've heard a lot of people discuss mods like this, but I don't think anything like this will come out for a long time, if ever.

moros is a good idea tho, while my best run was with supay I think it was just so rng dependent since supay damage is ass without good boons... I've been driving myself crazy trying to recreate my best time and I think a weapon with a stronger start will be less annoying.

Since you float above the ground while wielding the Torches of Supay, you should be immune to Burning Oil and Spike Traps

I can beat 20 fear or 32 fear

#

Anubis is my weapon rn but I usually win with Medea and I won a few runs with Anubis

#

Persephone actually not Medea and shiva

#

You gotta stop going straight for 52 then, work your way up to that getting used to each new vow you tack on over time

honest solar

NYX used to be go to

#

if youre used to 32 and then junp straight to 52, thats too big of a jump haha

#

Idk it's mostly the burning effects and the gren shades that turn to enemies
