[fading ivy]

Scorch is so fun to play with

[signal grove]

does scorch work like
A stacking DoT but you stack how much damage it does overall as opposed to
Dionysius DoT where you stacked the damage per second?

[worldly pulsar]

yeah

[drowsy jackal]

BRUH

lmao i just got the double succ at the ||cerberus fight||

so - one of those big round shades spawned and did that weird vortex attack that pulls you in
and at the same time ||cerberus|| did the same thing from the other side and the game started freaking tf out and couldn't decide where to push mel
she was like

ate a crapton of damage after that but i'm not even mad
that was hilarious

[ashen agate]

I don't like ||Hestia's|| boons

[coral apex]

After i've gotten the heroic, are infusions rare ?https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1170131128678625330/1238773191153942548/image.png?ex=664080f0&is=663f2f70&hm=37ea3fb043c683c46bbae37bbf1ecca358abd005882ee898ccd2596318bacc61&

[worldly pulsar]

Not really

They seem to be weighted about the same as common as other non core boons idk

[molten compass]

I absolutely adore ||Chaos new design|| while still keeping the same sass

[muted moss]

Really? I sure do (then again I love fire abilities in general so I'm biased a bit)

[indigo vine]

Can relate

[versed quest]

I now know what it feels like to get dunked on by ||the rail of adamant||

[fallow vine]

I CAN UPGRADE HOW MUCH ARCANA I CAN HAVE????

ohhhhhhhhhhhh i thought 10 was the cap cap

well that makes making a build much easier. sadly

[muted moss]

So far she's my favorite next to poseidon (gameplay wise) . I dunno if my favorite greek god ||(Dionysus) is in Hades 2 (haven't gotten that far so idk)||

[fading ivy]

currently having a run where I have an attack that does 1680 damage😭

[drowsy jackal]

yeah last time i tried that my game broke lmao

[whole willow]

omg????

[fading ivy]

oh yeah with the hammer, right! Though so far It shouldn't do any weird stuff for me! :D

[fading ivy]

yeahhh, it's crazy😭

[drowsy jackal]

hang on lemme show you

[muted moss]

That is some Chad level of building omg

[fading ivy]

oh my god, I think I just doubled the damage of it💀

[drowsy jackal]

spoilers for zone 3, i guess
||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2zKZLbpf6g||

[fading ivy]

update, it's 2380 now LMAO

[drowsy jackal]

DID YOU PICK UP EXECUTIONERS CHOP!?

[fading ivy]

oh damnnn, yeah I see

[drowsy jackal]

[fading ivy]

nah, Iit's a run with the sister blades

[drowsy jackal]

HAVE FUN NOT-ATTACKING THE SECOND YOU RUN OUT OF MAGICK

[fading ivy]

I also have vcery fast mana regen😭

[drowsy jackal]

oh...
well then nevermind

[fading ivy]

yeahhh, this build is kinda busted😭

gonna try and crank the dmg up even more

[drowsy jackal]

you do realize this can't end well, right?

[fading ivy]

probably yeahhh😭

[coral apex]

now i got poseidon + apollo duo

[lament breach]

do the effects of arachne's outfits go away once armor is depleted?

[worldly pulsar]

Yes

[lament breach]

I guess the goal is to not get hit anyways

[icy coyote]

There are some manners to protect the dress, but yes, try to no hit your way out

[fading ivy]

I just beat ||Chronos, had him begging for his life, as I was dealing 2800 damage on some hits😭||(final boss spoiler)

[drowsy jackal]

ok this is kinda broken
in a fun way, of course

so - i've got a boon that makes my cast follow mel and freeze everyone around, right?

and now i got lucid gain which makes me restor magick when... standing in my cast

UNLIMITED MAGICK!

[woven sparrow]

build reveal

[fading ivy]

I'll send it in #h2-victory-boasting one sec! :D

[drowsy jackal]

oh the next few weeks are gonna be wild
once people start figuring out some broken builds and what not

can't wait to see this game's super soaker
or some sort of dash-only build

[fading ivy]

let's goooooo

[fading ivy]

oh god, yeah just sprint around and everything dies😭

[minor latch]

(final boss) ||ngl i kinda find it funny that Chronos as a big spoiler when "Death to Chronos" is literally the first thing you learn abt the game.||

[drowsy jackal]

OH MY GOD THEY DID IT AGAIN

||they got me again with the second phase||

||i was certain they wouldn't pull this trick again||

ok - massive freaking spoilers in this pic
||https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/638031423340806185/1238807050767700008/Hades_II_9.png?ex=6640a078&is=663f4ef8&hm=d84c7b543957a9b6ae7383092ae33d37821ab3ed434b99df1e57e015ab0c144c&||

is that... what i think it is?

[swift harness]

||Rule #1 in every video game end-boss ever made ever: There is always a second phase.||

[drowsy jackal]

[swift harness]

[icy coyote]

it's a pyre reference, yes

[white glade]

yeeessss pyre is so underrated

[drowsy jackal]

also - look at ||dusa|| here
||https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/638031423340806185/1238810443569696788/image.png?ex=6640a3a1&is=663f5221&hm=600bb74018d73083f98803cc0270acff81217e1cf9b812892835063a5e213ac9&||

my god what's wrong with your faaaaaaaace?

didn't even know she had attack/pain/eating a big burger frames

[swift harness]

I feel like Hades 2 is like all the strength of Bastion, Transistor and Hades mixed into one big game.

[drowsy jackal]

oh yeah i feel that too

i believe i called it the kind of "The Best Of Supergiant"
like a compilation album or something

there's a little bit of everything here

[swift harness]

yeah

the slowing down in omega mode feels like transistors planning mode a little

[copper jetty]

it was in Zag's room in Hades 1

[drowsy jackal]

ye
and i was looking for it in mel's tent

but instead i found a pretty picture of

||https://youtu.be/MWR3typn7XY?t=220||
i'm guessing the pop filter took a day off when they recorded this

[wind plinth]

there is a compilation album named that actually

[drowsy jackal]

oh the timestamp doesn't work with spoilers
it's at 3:40

i still can't get over how they just dropped hades 2 on us

usually there's this big song and dance about SGG releases
fancy trailers showed off and VGAs or whatever

but here it was just like "oh hey they posted a new vid on their channel"
"along with the entire freakin game on steam"

just BAM!
there it is

[versed quest]

the more I unlock stuff the more im just

[drowsy jackal]

oh hello fellow newblood enjoyer

yeah this game has A LOT of stuff
it's kinda hard to wrap my head around all of this

[timid lagoon]

I love Arachne so much
||"oh your poor heart" 😭 ||

I didn't actually know her myth. That's messed up

[white glade]

id love a list/transcript of all the spells/incantations you use at the cauldron...yknow, for writing purposes...

[little fog]

Hi, does anyone know what the last couple patches include in terms of fixes? Cant find any patch notes

[icy coyote]

some crashes, apparently

they have said it's nothing substantial, which is why no patch notes

[little fog]

Thanks @icy coyote! where are they sharing that? So I can keep an eye myself?

[icy coyote]

now, I forgot where it was, I just remember this, maybe in the annoucement channel?

[rare star]

Why are some characters not showing up in book of shadows?

[versed quest]

yeah this is also happening to me atm

[feral edge]

just keep talking to them

[rare star]

I have talked to skeleton a lot for example. He not in books

[fossil jacinth]

keep talking to your companions/the gods-goddesses and also dont forget to gift them nectar!

[open flower]

https://pasteboard.co/Udl7DkRaxRok.png
Ah, I see Melinoe is a Hades 1 veteran

[rare star]

Did that but some just not showing up

[lilac ether]

she knows what's going on

[fossil jacinth]

some possibly just takes time between runs / encounters / interactions for them to truly show up, be patient in there gamer!

[fading ivy]

who knows, maybe the last nocturnal arm is a bow👀 would be so cool

[drowsy jackal]

nah nah nah nah nah
she's a bastion veteran

[lament breach]

I thought the bow was alright

[karmic folio]

I used to main the bow quite a bit

[swift harness]

Isn´t the Flames this game's bow?

[elder bough]

Wait wait @sonic ore #h2-feedback message what’s the %

[foggy heron]

@glossy lion hello, please don’t use the feedback channel for bug reports!

[wheat pine]

I really enjoy the rhythm of the bow.

[glossy lion]

Very sorry! I thought I was on tech support?

[foggy heron]

Omg you were 😭😭😭

My bad

[elder bough]

🫣

[glossy lion]

I have the message copy pasted it's no problem!

[foggy heron]

That said! Tech support. Also does not process bugs

[wheat pine]

It’s ranged, but plays very differently.

[foggy heron]

If you reported it with f10 the devs already have a copy of what you said!

[glossy lion]

Gotcha, thanks!

[elder bough]

@flat night || is spoiler not |

[sonic ore]

for the rare boon I had it was 62%. imo it should either be 100% or more, or be an AoE

[flat night]

Merci, merci

[elder bough]

Absolutely!! I’m so frustrated at this I assumed it would be 150!

For common, and 162 for rare

[swift harness]

Am I the only one that thinks the game has a bit too much crowd control? I am stunned a lot.

[elder bough]

You could try casting more

[swift harness]

I barely remember Hades 1 stuns. The dusa head that is all.

[patent harbor]

So I have no insight, but watch Hypnos not even be under an enchanted sleep or anything

[outer solar]

Bro's just like "I ain't built for war wake me when this is over" and just puts on a blanket.

[patent harbor]

It's just that everyone who knows how to wake him is gone. My boy's taking the most powerful of naps

[royal pumice]

The second someone from the House steps foot into the crossroads he'll be up like nothing ever happened

[elder bough]

I would loooove that

[outer solar]

Hypnos is trained to wake up only when he has to check in somebody who has died. Considering Melinoe emergency exits when your HP hits zero instead of Zag's... methods, Hypnos will not wake up.

[elder bough]

Nyx walks in, “holy cow you’re back” and he pops right up

[swift harness]

Question: What does "featured Artist" do?

[patent harbor]

Powers up the artist in question and gives them new attack patterns. Not sure if a power increase is included

[outer solar]

Personally I just wonder if Chaos is too bored to fix this themselves. They're the primordial of this pantheon, right? Can't they just... make the misbehavers stop?

[royal pumice]

he hears Hades' heavy footsteps and immediately starts looking for a pen and paper

[lilac ether]

||why the hell are chaos holding their own skull||

[outer solar]

||didn't notice that. too distracted by how they can be wearing a suit in ancient greece||

[lilac ether]

well they're just built different

[candid vortex]

For dramatic effect

[lilac ether]

i mean, we also have guns in this universe 😭

[candid vortex]

Remember that gun was used by hestia , the sweet fire grandma

[royal pumice]

dunno (minor dialogue spoilers) ||they seem at most slightly bothered that Nyx is gone, and thinks Zag was funnier than Melinoe|| likely just that none of it seems that big of a deal to them

[candid vortex]

||It might come off as like slight meh but I also thinks that’s due to them being a force we can barely comprehend||

[royal pumice]

Yeah no I read it as ||"Well, Chaos is Chaos"||

[toxic girder]

||i think it might just be a flex to us mere (im)mortals, and a little throwback to hades 1||

[candid vortex]

They’re an enigma wrapped in a mystery, smothered in a secret sauce

[swift harness]

[royal pumice]

tartar||us|| sauce

[candid vortex]

We have understanding

[lilac ether]

it worked cause it scared me

[naive stump]

||gotta taunt chronos that you are beyond his time period||

[candid vortex]

||i personally found the skull to be the less creepy thing of what chaos is holding||

[candid vortex]

You know in highschool I had this insane English teacher who had us do a writing prompt of time not being real

[lilac ether]

||honestly chaos is hot so i didn't mind it that much||

[toxic girder]

its just like ||"hey look , i got a cool new suit, by the way, this is my old head from who knows how many centuries ago that your brother's familiar with"||

[lilac ether]

||and there's a weird fetus coming out of it||

[candid vortex]

||chaos is a sponge, they reproduce by budding||

[velvet quartz]

killed by final boss
eh, progress.

Cast fireball is so abusable lol

[royal pumice]

spoiler tag plz

[tribal hemlock]

sorry meant to put it in the other one

[agile siren]

noob you're back

[agile siren]

i felt like ||they are more bothered by chronos "tricking" them than the outcome of that.

idk while it makes sense in a way, that makes them seem less mysterious powerful primordial being and more... just clueless tbh|| (spoiler for character / dialog from later story progress as of current version)

[elder bough]

Chaos isn’t supposed to want to fight back against stuff he just sits and watches and does what’s interesting

That’s why he helps in this game too

[royal pumice]

I'm intrigued by that ||trick|| part, I guess I haven't unlocked that part of dialogue, and I agree, it's in line with their character from Hades 1

[fading ivy]

mark spoilers please:)

[royal pumice]

spoiler tag plz and ||it doesn't matter, do any one that interests you, both will benefit the other||

[true thunder]

So as i heard some are hating Hades for their Designs?

[fading ivy]

but to answer the question, I don't think it really matters, I personally ||beat the surface beefore Chronos but either order should be fine!||:D

[floral oxide]

either order is fine okay ty

[true thunder]

Shows who never Played Hades lmao

[candid vortex]

It’s just some online troll grifters who get attention from posting a no relevant issue to a game that now wildly popular

[true thunder]

Imagine hating on Hades 2 Designs for generic Anime Waifu nr.100000

[candid vortex]

Honestly I try not to engage because one, you’ll never win an argument with dudes who are so in need of touching grass that the brain rot is terminal, and two, I don’t want the algorithm thinking I want to see more of it

[lilac ether]

honestly this is the most reasonable way of dealing with those ppl

[candid vortex]

The internet would be alot better if people ignored a lot of the crazy on it

Not saying like straight up hate speech should be ignored, but if the necks beards want to be creepy about anime let them, as long as they aren’t harassing real people who cares

I have like taxes to pay and what not

[rapid vigil]

Also, I feel like Hades is tame compared to a ton of games 😆

Aphrodite is literally the goddess of sex and love

[candid vortex]

And then you have Eros, god of competitive ranked sex

[lilac ether]

trolls weren't hating on it because of the nudity but because the characters in this game look like actual people

[candid vortex]

Yeah

It’s real dumb

[green gorge]

I had to do a double take on this because I had to make sure I read it right

[candid vortex]

You’re welcome

I like to think I’m somewhat witty, like a halfwit

[fading ivy]

yeahh, I also saw so many people hate on the Hestia design for some reason, I love it tbh

[formal rose]

muscle mommy 🙏

[candid vortex]

It’s not big titty waifu, because it has to always be sexy. I can’t have lovely British fire grandma who has gun

[lilac ether]

well i kind of know the reason but it's better if we don't get into it

[candid vortex]

Also

Hestia as a lovely fire grandma being the og adamant rail user makes me so happy

https://tenor.com/view/call-an-ambulance-gif-20864208

Her^

[formal rose]

SHE SO CUTE THO

I legit need her to bake me some cookies and tell me stories about her childhood

[candid vortex]

I love that her hood is like inflated because the heat from her hair puffs it out

[indigo compass]

sure you all hear this a billion times a day but i cannot stop playing. almost pathologically so. send help

[formal rose]

same

[indigo compass]

and yes hestia is best grandma

auntie*

[candid vortex]

Also I kind of wish the Demeter get her hands back on the claws because I want her to punch people

[chrome adder]

nah we’re getting talos trust

[naive stump]

[brazen quest]

where do i get dark ?

[patent harbor]

Ugh, Chronos hits like a truck.

I have no idea how to approach him. I just melt

[fair niche]

I'm still trying to beat him myself but just spend a run watching his moves and looking out for tells be extra careful of his ||melee attacks as they leave a trail behind and explode shortly after||

[patent harbor]

Thanks! I think it's those ||explosions|| that were getting me. I wasn't fully sure I understood what was going on there. It's nice to get some clarification.

I just got ||into a contest with Hercules. I got 95 gold, he only got 15. He said: "call it even". You effin wot, mate? ||

[fading ivy]

hearing ||Mel talk pitched up after getting the shrink upgrade is absolutely hilarious, love that detail😭|| ( spoiler for the overworld)

No problems good luck with killing him

Does anyone know when the track of Hades 2 will hit spotify if it even will?

[stable heath]

||Chaos gathered item||

[patent harbor]

They're all currently released as singles and in one playlist. Fine a moment, lemme find the link

Here we are: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3lGuQn2a9BGDxT1BeduGmk?si=w2yeyzYLTISIgjKCuf8FSQ

[winged coral]

life saver <3

[patent harbor]

I've been listening to it at work! Such a bop

[winged coral]

So true. In game the music is so good i get distracted sometimes lol

[drowsy jackal]

So I just showed hades 2 to my buddy
He never finished a single run in h1 despite owning it on two platforms

And his reactions ranged from to

was about how much new stuff there is to learn and keep in mind

was about the zone 2 boss, obviously

[marsh ocean]

Yes, that's exactly what happened!
I suddenly woke up with 21,99zł in my Steam wallet.

[normal mason]

yep, me too

[marsh ocean]

That Greg Kasavin is a cool guy. First he hot-fixed Bastion and its demo after getting a rather rude e-mail from me in 2011, and now he's giving me free money for the misfortune of being Polish.

[normal mason]

yeah, the whole supergiant team is pretty awesome

[patent harbor]

So I finally found which weapon will lead me to victory

Moonlight Axe! Can't argue with numbers!

[ashen agate]

Death to chronos

[patent harbor]

Final boss question ||Any tips for the second phase? Are those 999 hits even avoidable?||

[opal briar]

answer to above, || time your dodge or stand in a small indicated circle somewhere in the arena ||

[patent harbor]

Gotcha! I must have missed the indicators somehow. It was a lot to take in.

[lilac ether]

i have a question too

||how do i kiss eris||

[patent harbor]

I thought maybe || having extra death defiances were required and/or it was a beat him fast enough thing ||

[patent harbor]

Legitimate question.

[oak wadi]

It's cool when your build is crowd control heaven and so you can farm ||Tartarus||

[marsh ocean]

Anyhow: I haven't even booted up Hades II, because:

1. I want to start after I finish the original Hades,
2. to get the last two Achilles-related achievements, I need to meet a Certain Someone in a Certain Zone Nth more time, after I've been near-dang-consistently skipping their encounter while concluding the Epilogue,
3. I haven't managed to get myself to do this for, like, a year,
4. I'm still on Tibia binge.

[normal willow]

I'm trying to unlock the ||ward||
I have the incantation, but the ||alchemy tab|| has not unlocked yet

so I can't get ||shadow||
Am I supposed to do something to unlock ||alchemy|| once I have the ||"permeating of witching wards"|| incantation?

[royal pumice]

what build is that?

[oak wadi]

||sister blades with zeus special and aphrodite zeus ranged cast, hammer focus on special||

[royal pumice]

i seeeeeee

[vapid acorn]

Are the in-game models for characters such as ||Narcissus|| and ||Selene|| placeholders, or are they supposed to be ||veiled|| for some reason?

[fading ivy]

they're placeholders yeah

[vapid acorn]

I thought ||Narcissus|| was just ||veiled|| for some reason, but then|| Selene|| appeared in my camp ||with the same in-game model|| lol

[fading ivy]

I mean I can't be 100% sure of course, but I'm 99% sure that it's placeholder art yeah

[vapid acorn]

yeah, makes sense

[worldly pulsar]

Its basically the same as hades 1 ea placeholders

[fallow saddle]

So one of my friend said that there's more content in Hades 2 now than in Hades 1. Is that true?

[fading ivy]

yeah, Id say so, there's no story conclusion and some stuff is unfinished but I think it has more content overall right now than Hades 1! :)

[hearty bay]

Anyone know if Hades 2 is coming to switch soon?

[fading ivy]

I think it might only be when 1.0 comes out or pretty late down the way in early access, though don't quote me on that

[hearty bay]

Ok, thanks

[royal pumice]

Nintendo is releasing another console at some point so they may wait on that, but that likely depends on how EA goes

[hearty bay]

That’s going to be a big problem if another console releases

[royal pumice]

We still have EA to get through so it's likely not something to worry about for some time, if that helps

[hearty bay]

Hmm

The only issue I have is money and space

Though I’m saving up for a pc, so I could get it on steam eventually

But that’s not gonna be for another year or two

[elder bough]

@void bronze #h2-feedback message
You can dodge the projectile just stand back and start dodging

Don’t get hit by surprise when it first comes out and you’re a-ok

[wild chasm]

Nah hades 1 with the weapons we got almost perfect gameplay without boons and augments, the animation here feels clunky but is an early acces so...

[elder bough]

@wraith furnace fire extinguisher clears all scorch after hitting 300

[wraith furnace]

yeah one guy just told me about it, but still thank you

[elder bough]

Problem is it deals 50% of the original damage at common, 62% at rare… it’s so bad for 2 boons when you could just take Poseidon and deal the full damage instantly

[swift harness]

Axe feels incredibly strong atm while flames feels like marshmallows.

[wooden tree]

I've only been able to spend 27 hours "killing time" since launch, so my progress is definitely slower than most...but does anyone else just marvel at the fact that even in this first build, the game literally just keeps growing??

[storm viper]

The axe is the only weapon that's gotten me to the final boss.

I still lost that fight, but it's the only time I've gotten that far.

[stiff hawk]

The other weapons are very bad

Axe have damage but the others Like a toys

[frail basalt]

Nothing the right combination of hammers can't remedy.

[chrome sluice]

the torches is the only weapon that feels actively bad to me

the other ones all have builds that make them strong

[winged coral]

Honestly you just need to get a decent on attack boon and they are good

I think all weapons can be good and all weapons can be bad

[echo falcon]

i feel like the torches are decent with the omega attack hammer and good mana regen

[winged coral]

Also with the torches theres this hammer where it instantly kills 80% of anyones armor with the first hit which is so good against mini bosses and elites

[timid lagoon]

there's an aspect of torches that makes them hilarious
"so anyway, I started blasting"

[winged coral]

I need to find that LOL

[royal pumice]

which one?

I need art of (weapon) ||Persephone weilding revaal|| like when did that happen?

[timid lagoon]

||the Moros one||
||fire an omega special, then start spamming attack, and you're just constantly exploding. I'm not sure if it's very good yet, but it's fun||

[loud garden]

where do you get aspects?

[timid lagoon]

you eventually get an incantation to unlock them

[loud garden]

is there something I can do to trigger the incantation unlock?

[chrome adder]

beat hecate once with each weapon i think

[loud garden]

oh thank you

[vagrant finch]

||my favorite aspect so far is moros||

[hot quail]

Hi Team, where do I get ||Dark|| please? (I'm pretty far in the game but the people in #h1-discussion are not answering me - I've been to ||Tartarus and Rift of Thessely, not gotten past Eris tho||)

[fading ivy]

I'm not 100% sure if this is correct, so someone may have to confirm this, but I think it's ||a material you can get from harvesting it while being in Chaos' realm||

[naive stump]

That's correct

[hot quail]

Thank you!

[snow swallow]

you may need to ||befriend Chaos first, i believe he offers the first Dark after a bit of nectar gifts, then it starts appearing! :)||

[royal pumice]

||Not a bit, I got one and I have only given them one nectar|| I think it might be linked to unlocking ||the crystal||, but who knows

[narrow granite]

Hi, ||after seeing the cat in the woods, Hecate should have proposed me an incantation to have familiars right?||

Feels live my save is kinda glitched out now, ||I don't even see the cat anymore in the woods||

[torn berry]

Does priming your magick meter give you a permanent boost with the Huntress Arcana card?

[royal pumice]

Not inherently I don't think ||it was some time between my first sighting of the cat, and the incantation unlock, I don't think anyone knows the triggers for anything just yet, just keep fighting her and wait||

Also ||the cat doesn't always show up, it's a random chance||

[narrow granite]

I have like 20 hours now in the game lol, maybe I am indeed not so lucky

Feels like I have unlocked a lot of things that I should have got after this mechanic

[royal pumice]

Could be that it's backlogged, it's likely not a bug, but you could f10 it if you begin to get concerned

[icy halo]

are legendary boons still a thing? I have over 24 hours at this point and have yet to see one

[narrow granite]

Yeah maybe, thanks

[naive stump]

They are

[glacial stream]

Where I got the cat... ||it isn't in the forest and stops spawning there, it's on the dock area before the boats in the above world. i had the item ready for it but never saw it at forest, and it stopped spawning there with voice saying it was "not here now" before I got the item||

[narrow granite]

||Tho I never saw it on the docks either lmao
Did you get the incantation from Hecate still after meeting him for the first time?||

[glacial stream]

|| no. i had to get consecration of ashes and abyssal insight first and then beast-loved morsel was a recipe, no idea what else was required but it was one of those two that triggered it directly after for me ||

[narrow granite]

||Weird, already got to that point and still no attending a faithful beast incantation||

[glacial stream]

|| did you get woodsy lifespring, people are saying you need to see the cat in that area or have that unlocked first. but they're also saying you "need" to pet it there, but I never did that ||

[narrow granite]

Yeah I have

||and I did pet him there||

[glacial stream]

|| next stop is the dock in thessaly, though as was said before it absolutely could be a bug/clash as a lot of people are having the same issue of getting everything else in the game done except that ||

[narrow granite]

Okay I see, thanks, I will try this out again

[primal trench]

Try bringing the ||fishing rod|| to the ||docks||

[velvet quartz]

random thought
if Hades comes back, the paperwork is waiting...

[thin crow]

||Just wondering, is it possible to finish the surface without completing the incantation that slows dying? I’m gathering the ingredients for it rn, but have been trying to see how far I can get without it as a challenge, but I haven’t made it past clearing one room in the temple. Has anyone “cleared” (or whatever happens when you finish the surface) without the incantation?||

[royal pumice]

Spoiler tag plz, you'll likely get better answers in #h2-discussion

[royal pumice]

Everyone in the house will be working overtime

[primal trench]

No lol ||you'll probably die in the main big room||

Is just too long

And the damage ramps up iirc

[primal trench]

Everyone already was

[storm scaffold]

where do we post videos of bugs?

[glacial lodge]

You can submit bug reports in-game with and include a link to the video

[storm scaffold]

ahhh

thanks

[elder bough]

@floral fjord #h2-feedback message
the timer specifically says you must clear gameplay rooms to progress it

[placid thicket]

||this channel is cool||

[mighty halo]

||When do you get the incatation that lets you pause during the fight with Chronos? I have seen him force me to unpause several times so far but still haven't learnt it||

[obsidian gazelle]

iirc it unlocks after you beat him three times

[mighty halo]

Ugh that is annoying.

[versed quest]

I almost completed my first run omg the build was so divine

[obsidian gazelle]

What made u not complete it?

[versed quest]

some groupmate from my uni had to call me

tbf it was a valid reason it was just hephaestus ring plus multiple burn build ups made all the bosses melt so bad

||I know that there is an incantation for it but I dont have it unlocked yet||

[chrome basin]

think i softlocked myself :(

submitted a bug report but sucks cuz it was a vv interesting run

[lofty ginkgo]

my death defiances aren't activating at all, has anyone else run into this bug? once I upgraded from one to two they no longer activate at all

[chrome basin]

haven't got past one myself... did you submit an in game bug report?

[lofty ginkgo]

ya i did, gonna try reinstalling to see if it fixes it

[obsidian gazelle]

Every time I see people die to the last boss it’s bc their real life got in the way 😭

[chrome basin]

oops

my bad

am I the only one who took forever to realize schelemeus ||is literally just skelly with a beard lying about his past||

[gilded reef]

LOL. ||the name and story and stuff is a reference to the fake backstory he told zag in 1||

[chrome basin]

oh yeah ||it's been a while since I played 1 but I know that was the whole joke, that he refused to say anything true about himself, where he came from etc. did we ever figure out what his deal was anyway? I never did any of the high heat post-game stuff bc my game file was lost when my hard drive died and I just didn't have the heart to restart||

[gilded reef]

||nothing concrete, we know that he was hired by charon and stuff like that. definitely lying about being a great sailor though based on discussions mel has about him in 2 LOL where people don't recognize him||

[placid anchor]

||Also ody would've said something if he really was a great sailor lol||

[chrome basin]

haven't gotten past zone 2 yet jsyk!

[gilded reef]

yeah! i think that's the convo i was thinking of (dialogue spoilers, not zone-specific), ||mel asks odysseus about skelly and asks if he knows of him since he's such a famous mortal hero and odysseus is like, never heard of him||

[astral wigeon]

Sure is some good spoiler-free discussion going on in this channel.

[swift harness]

[gilded reef]

||it's either ody or moros||

[chrome basin]

haha sorry i'm scared to look in #h2-story-discussion

[swift harness]

Same!!

[gilded reef]

just dialogue stuff, don't think it's zone-gated but spoilering just to make sure

[fierce marsh]

Related area 4 spoilers: ||Melinoe can tell Hades Schelemeus is one of the folks that escaped Chronos and Hades is like... Who? Guess my memory is failing me||

[placid anchor]

||Bouldy is the secret boss btw||

[chrome basin]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-gif-25857002

[swift harness]

They should make more rooms for each stage of the game you advanced. Maybe "Not past Erebus" / "Past second floor" / "Past 3rd floor" / "Opened the stairs up" / "Beat Chronos" etc.

[gilded reef]

||wait maybe THAT'S the interaction i'm thinking of... too many runs, can't remember 😔 either way skelly can't keep getting away with this||

[chrome basin]

thank you for tagging relevant area

[swift harness]

I find the idea hilarious that only Zag and Mel|| know Skelly.||

[chrome basin]

also i am feral for nem

god i love nem just needed someone to hear it

[swift harness]

[chrome basin]

not even! just... her

[swift harness]

I really hope she and Mel can get together.

[chrome basin]

the scunkly...

[swift harness]

Nem is sooo stuck up her a** it would feel so satisfying to make her soften up so much. Kinda like Meg in the first game.

[chrome basin]

YEAH THATS WHAT I THOUGH TOO

she keeps refusing my nectars >:(

[swift harness]

Meg is super sweet compared to Mel though XD

[fierce marsh]

Pretty sure Nemesis has no time for relationships, her schedule is only brooding

[swift harness]

If Meg was a peanut to crack then Nemesis is a coconut.

[chrome basin]

nem the literal second she sees mel

https://tenor.com/view/farcy6-farcry-anton-castillo-giancarlo-esposito-giancarlo-gif-23370999

[midnight badger]

I bet that despite their eventual good relationship, if it happens, she will keep stealing stuff at Charon's shop just to spite Mel.

[swift harness]

Besides the fact that Nemesis is a ultra-hot muscle girl - i like that Supergiant displays someone would be deemed having "toxic" behavior by society as actually being a good person on the inside (I assume at least that is what they going for).

[chrome basin]

haven't gotten far enough to make any real conclusions on her character, but I do like her so far

[swift harness]

Meg in the first game had tons of reasons to be very angry and cold towards Zag - while Nemesis has no reason but ego to be mean to Melinoe. She is just being a jerk for the sake of it. But I can see them showing that this is just fasade.

[obsidian gazelle]

It’s cuz Zag broke up w Meg right?

[versed quest]

I always saw it as more of a facade since yknow it is nemesis

[swift harness]

I have met 1-2 people in my life acting like Nem and turning out to be very decent and caring people in the end. So I like this "representation" shown. Not many characters in fiction I know of this. Usually they are the "Bad guy" and "bullies".

[swift harness]

AND the fact she has to fight him stopping from leaving underworld of course XD

[fierce marsh]

Nemesis is basically ||an attacker forced to play defense and lashing out because that shouldn't be her job at all and is insulting to her title||

[midnight badger]

I don't think it's fully a facade. She is a very proud person and seemed to be hurt. And she doesn't deal with it in the "healthiest" way which doesn't mean that she's a bad person per say. It's part of her.

[swift harness]

Yeah

[midnight badger]

Totally agree, it feels good to see such nuances characters.

[swift loom]

End game meta question

||There are only 28 testaments right? I'm not just missing 2 randomly. I presume they are for the last weapon||

[agile siren]

i think nem acting that way isn't just her hurt ego- it's also her mommy issues with nyx and not being able to or even allowed to try to save her, as well as being unhappy with how hecate runs things

[vivid flare]

That sounds right. We're still missing ||the equivalent to Extreme Measures|| ATM, so that's a shoe-in for 29

[civic sail]

I haven't beaten hades 1 yet, is it okay to play hades 2 or do I need to finish the game so I don't get spoilers

[swift harness]

When you say "beaten", do you mean beat the final boss first time?

[civic sail]

Yes I've gotten to them 3 times though....one day the zeus lightning shield combo thing will work

[swift harness]

It's so strange to say "I beat Hades 1" it's kinda an endless game. But you could say you 100% the story.

[agile siren]

you don't even have to have played h1 at all for hades 2

[swift harness]

kinda of a story-mechanic spoiler: ||Hades 1 has you beat Hades himself 10 times, before the story "concludes" and even then there is still TON OF MORE STORY.||

[civic sail]

Really? Is there no connection

[swift harness]

its still cool to do so.

[civic sail]

I really wanna click this but I really don't wanna click this

[swift harness]

I personally would recomend everyone to beat Hades 1 ten runs before playing Hades 2.

it just makes the emotional connection for Melinoé stronger.

[civic sail]

I have to beat the final boss 10 times 🤮😭

[swift harness]

you can set Hades 1 on "god mode" to make it easier to beat.

[agile siren]

there's lots of connections but there shouldn't be anything you won't understand story wise

[swift harness]

Oh hello, Electrochemistry!

[civic sail]

Never used any assist mode and I won't start now I am a......skill supremacist

[swift harness]

Then use the gun and get Devine Dash and you can beat it.

[civic sail]

I did not spend 6 hours beating farewell in celeste to then switch to assist mode😭

[civic sail]

Guns are banned in my country 😦

[swift harness]

It's no shame. I am 40 year old gamer grandma and I always use God Mode, even on Hades 2 now.

[gilded willow]

Tbh the game is designed to make you stronger even without God mode. Hades 2 is a harder game and maybe more understandable but it legit made hades 1 quite boring.

[civic sail]

You're old in the prime of your life....jk jk but I now feel like I'm a little child

[swift harness]

I highly respect Super giant for making their game's difficulty extremely adjustable for each individual.

[gilded willow]

Nah yeah true

[civic sail]

Is there a way to make the game harder rather than easier

[gilded willow]

In first game yes

[swift harness]

ooooh hohohoho yes.

[gilded willow]

You can remove some invul frames or whatever it was

[tough saddle]

anyone knows how long was hades 1 in EA ?

[swift harness]

SO MUCH harder.

[swift harness]

A bit less than a year I think.

So I assume early 2025 release for Hades 2.

[civic sail]

Ohhh I just got reminded of heat (I think it's called) I remember seeing a video apparently someone beat it on max heat which apparently is the greatest thing since sliced bread

[glacial lodge]

Hades 1 released in Early Access in December 2018 and released in 1.0 September 2020. That being said, there's no saying that this game will have a comparable timeline. SG has stated that they estimate the EA period will last at least until the end of 2024 if not longer

[gilded willow]

There is heat but there is also hell mode I think it was called which you can apply to a save file

[swift harness]

Haelian

https://www.youtube.com/@Haelian

One of the best Hades players.

He crecked the 64 heat.

[civic sail]

Is max heat really that hard...like no way its impossibly hard

[swift harness]

I mean you can watch the video. Want me to post it? : D

its insane to watch.

oh wait he wasn´t the one beating it.

But he reacted to it. someone named Jade beat 64 heat

[gilded willow]

It's everything that's harder plus no choices plus speed run and some other stuff so yea I'd say it's hard

[swift harness]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mo-kXjasZs

[raw nymph]

erm, i have a question abt how much of the story is available in early access, is there like some wall after which u cant progress futher in this patch or is it not like that

[gilded willow]

Kind of like that yeah

You instead unlock endgame to grind sort of

[raw nymph]

oh ok

[green gorge]

that person is in this discord btw :3

[civic sail]

Is there like a list of everything that's harder I can look at

[raw nymph]

howll that transfer when the games out in full, will we have to start from the beginning

or will the progress ive made carry over

[glacial lodge]

#hades2-faq will probably answer a lot of your questions

But yes, the intent is for your progress to transfer to the finished game

[swift harness]

Both of them, right? :>

[gilded willow]

Launch hades 1 idk, maybe there is a wiki or something. But off the top of my head there is usual stuff like enemies do more damage or are faster or have more attack speed or there are more of them. Then there is stuff like less choices for boons and whatnot, and then there is u either speed run game or die. So imagine all that at once.

[green gorge]

idk about the 2nd person
I know for certain Jade (Angel1LC) is in this server ^-^

[drowsy jackal]

uh-oh
folks - i think my game just softlocked :(

zone 3
i was having such a good run

[gilded willow]

In 2 there extra steps like reach this point or do this like a quest

[drowsy jackal]

gonna and send a bug raport with an email adress PleaseHelpImStuck@TheMourningFields

[swift harness]

That is the risk we all have playing Open Beta.

I play very different than my usual Hades 1 playstyle, just cus I will delete this save and make a new one on 1.0 anyways.

[vivid flare]

Don't forget alternate versions of all the boss fights, two hits of a barrier that you have to remove off every enemy before you can deal damage, no meta progression, and you get a boon deleted at random when you leave a layer

[gilded willow]

Only bugs I had so far is not being able to choose keepsakes

[gilded willow]

Oh yeah em4 is a must have, I just don't remember the rest of the stuff. I was like oh em4 sounds cool can't be bothered about the rest

[glacial lodge]

This really isn't the channel for extended conversations about the first Hades game

[swift harness]

[gilded willow]

No worries. I think there was something else I had, but consistently if u swap keepsake, quit game, then load save again and wanna swap again it the keepsake menu doesn't work for like 10 seconds

[drowsy jackal]

that's the second time i got soft-locked at ||the mourning fields||

they sure are living up to their name, huh?

[tough saddle]

why this channel doesn’t show to me in the channels selection

[drowsy jackal]

i did discover a new, never seen before Moon Boon
||Moonwalking!||
||https://youtu.be/cJIjUOGg704||

mild spoilers for zone 3, obviously

[fading ivy]

lmaooo, how do you keep finding these?😭

[drowsy jackal]

im cursed or some crap like that

guess i pissed off the fates in my previous irl run or something

and it's the second time i got softlocked in zone 3

gonna throw myself at those spiky thingys again and roll in them till i respawn at the crossroads

i hope my goofy email adres doesn't break their bug report software

unless you've got any ideas how could i get myself un-stuck from this animation

[fading ivy]

maybe going to a new room resets the animation?

[drowsy jackal]

i can't
cause while stuck in this animation i can't pick up any rewards
so the door's locked

[fading ivy]

ohhhhh

yeahhh, then I don't think it'll be possible😔

I had the same issue with the nightmare hex, where I couldn't move anymore after having used it

[drowsy jackal]

yeah this is after the nightmare hex

such a shame too cause i love this thing

lately most of my runs have been just:

https://tenor.com/view/eric-andre-eric-andre-eric-andre-show-nightmare-gif-25187817

WAIT!
I FIXED IT!

[drowsy jackal]

ok so if you happen to get stuck after turning into a nightmare
you have to find a way to charge it up and morph again

i just got close to an enemy and the thing charged and i used it and now i'm un-stuck

[fading ivy]

OH

Damn, I didn't know that, I'll do that next time!! Hope the run goes well now that it's fixed!

[drowsy jackal]

nah im still gonna get rekt

[fading ivy]

understandable😭

[drowsy jackal]

oh my god i just realized

that's ||bouldy|| right there

he's got hair and a beard now

[versed quest]

So far there's only one enemy in this game that I truly despise atm ||the harpies ||

[drowsy jackal]

ok something's really messed up with the nightmare because now it caused another build-breaking bug
i'm not softlocked, but now i can't do omega casts
and i've been relying on solar flare, so...

rip run
here goes another

[fading ivy]

YESSS!!!

[fading ivy]

damnn, RIP

[lunar vector]

ong same, tho there's an enemy in another area that I hate but I forgot the names of them

[versed quest]

honestly most of them are ok it's just them that constantly ruin my runs

[swift harness]

The screaming ones in first area? Yeah friggin those!

[versed quest]

no the second area

||Also im talking about the surface levels not the underworld ones||

[swift harness]

oooh

I am not even there, yet

[versed quest]

Besides for those I usually just do cast and attack from afar

[versed quest]

OH nvm Im a lil bit ahead in terms of content dnkvnkjfdg

[swift harness]

yeah this is complicated to handle spoilers.

[drowsy jackal]

it just keeps happening
||https://youtu.be/3xeaL6VNuwg?si=g01C3RO033q2UUnf||

so i had a boon that turns my cast into a projectile, right?
turning into a nightmare bugged it out so now my casts are back to their regular form AND i can't channel more magick into them - so no damage either

[versed quest]

What else did you add to your casts other than artemis' arrow?

[drowsy jackal]

howling soul and solar ring ||(which i called the solar flare in the - bah, they'll figure it out )||

and it worked just fine until i morphed into nightmare and used my cast
cause i've got a thing that makes my regular casts act as omega casts when morphed
i have a feeling that the root of all this problems is somewhere in there - in the way this nightmare morph works

[versed quest]

Wait how did you get howling soul?

never found that boon before

[drowsy jackal]

iunno

[fading ivy]

noooooo, rip run pt3 😔😭

[grave steppe]

I think I had this one as well this morning, I had Hestia cast and then got a Zeus boon that lets you channel cast and send it someplace else. I could do it once per foght and then it would just summon at my feet and I couldn't channel omega cast at all.

[drowsy jackal]

huh

[grave steppe]

I thought I primed too much magic so I couldn't do it but now that you describe it I realised it is the same thing. I'll report it if I manage to replicate it

[drowsy jackal]

what too much magick does to a videogame

HWAT!?
||https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/638031423340806185/1239143447517073450/whereugoingmate.mp4?ex=6641d9c4&is=66408844&hm=f8f629956022278dc8545df70650924bcb133982c6817b2c3e00c111108ee09f&||

is it... supposed to do that?
i honestly can't tell anymore

[fading ivy]

uhhhhh, I mean, maybe you took a hammer which makes it do that? Not sure tbh😭

[tribal junco]

Just beaten Hecate after 10 failures

[fading ivy]

woo, nice!!!

[drowsy jackal]

ayyy
good jorb

[tribal junco]

Scorch is my go to DoT status effect now

[misty helm]

how many areas does the game have rn?

[fading ivy]

In total it has ||6|| areas right now! :D

[misty helm]

sorry I meant biomes

like tartarus asphodel elysium styx in hades 1

[gilded reef]

same answer

[tribal junco]

6 is quite a lot for EA, imagine the full game when it comes.

[misty helm]

okay, when does the game stop, after the second biome or the third biome

[gilded reef]

||fourth biome for area1, second biome for area2||

[misty helm]

okay now Im really confused, guess I should just play more

I thought the game will end after ||oceanus||

[gilded reef]

||nope, there's more||

[misty helm]

thats insane, this is early access? lol

[fading ivy]

Yeahh, early access now probably had more content than Hades 1!:)

[fading ivy]

Yeahhh, it's gonna be crazy!!!

[tribal junco]

I’m going to beg devs for fist weapon return lmao

[misty helm]

definitely more than hades 1 EA, this game is way more complete than I thought

[tribal junco]

This is my first time playing an early access game and it’s a bomb, so good.

[fading ivy]

Oh yeah, but honestly I think it has even more than the Hades 1 full release tbh!

[fading ivy]

Haha, I kinda doubt it tbh, as it doesn't really fit the magic and witch-y theme

[tribal junco]

If they get a broom weapon in there 👀

Anyways, sister blades is fun, just figuring out how to do it without damage.

[versed quest]

scorch is so goated af

[tribal junco]

Scorch finally helped me take down first boss

Freeze was total fail

[versed quest]

They're going to put in another area as a major update in a few months

[tribal junco]

Oh my

[versed quest]

||I got stun locked so bad at the very last second of my run||

[tribal junco]

I fare worse with ||laser beams||

[crisp dawn]

Hey, what channel should be used to report bugs?

[tribal junco]

Feedback channel

[placid sorrel]

is the ||book of shadows|| progress tracking bugged for Olympians? i have given gifts at least once to lots of people but only 1 of them shows progress

[solar fractal]

press F10 in-game to report bugs!

[stiff hawk]

no, you need a certain number of interactions before they get added to the book!

[royal pumice]

It looks like the cast might've tried auto-targetting onto an enemy and just...failed

[drowsy jackal]

OH MY GOD I'VE GOT +100% SPRINT SPEED

40 from chaos, 40 from apollo and 20 from arkana cards

[royal pumice]

i won't
100 is already way too much

i mean - i won't do it
i will make a vid though

[drowsy jackal]

god damn it
i keep bumping into thorns cause im going so fast

im gonna trigger every single trap ||in tartarus||

[grizzled bear]

I started feeling that pain at only like 60%. I can imagine. 😂

[naive stump]

We need rush delivery back

[candid vortex]

Actually you unlock the secret ending by hitting speeds of 88 mph

So keep going

[royal pumice]

she breaks the time speed barrier and ||Chronos just disintegrates||

[viscid merlin]

What happens if I just walk past the ||shadowy figure without talking to him||

[candid vortex]

But then it turns out her god fusion generator is broken so we get a whole new area with Mel trying to get back to the future

[candid vortex]

I don’t know if you can, I think it’s like trying to leave without drinking the fountain/taking your boon

[viscid merlin]

Naw it gives me the option to proceed

[candid vortex]

Huh

[viscid merlin]

Like I wonder just walks on by him lol

[candid vortex]

See what happens

I hope he’s like how rude

[viscid merlin]

Diovolo looking ass

Bruh like just bye I want to know but I came too far

I can't find Schelemeus?

Sometimes you have to swap weapons for him to spawn like in Hades 1

[agile siren]

is there a way to report bugs on steam deck? i can open the bug reporter by re-binding but i can't input a description

[royal pumice]

Post the bug in #h2-tech-support I think (explaining that you're on steam deck)

[drowsy jackal]

got him!
i finally got him

man - what a ride
guess i can finally visit that one channel that has all the spoilers lol

[ripe flame]

There's always the other direction

[mint panther]

who is he even 💀

[drowsy jackal]

he's not skelly, that's for sure

[drowsy jackal]

man
i thought that with all my hades 1 experience this game's gonna be easy-peasy lemon squeezy

turns out it's difficult difficult lemon difficult

[snow comet]

Do you enjoy it tho? I really love it so far. Feels amazing to me!

[drowsy jackal]

oh yeah it's amazing

i showed it yesterday to my buddy - at first i started him off on a clean save and just handed the controller and he was like
died three rooms in, but still

...and then i switched over to my save and i was like "and now check out this cool stuff! and that other cool stuff! and this and that and"
..."don't you think it's a bit messy? isn't this a bit too much?"

"naaaah - i'ts got EVEN MORE SYSTEMS!"
and he was just

Moonstone Axe wants a taste of nectar

[narrow granite]

Tried that, ||saw the cat, but still no incantation to have familiars lmao||

I think my save is kinda bugged now

I don't have much in the backlog of incantation anymore too

[signal gull]

you have to defeat hecate 10 times to get the incantation to pop up

[narrow granite]

Already done that

[stone pendant]

out of curiosity, how many nights?

[signal gull]

and you have to talk to the cat twice after that

[stone pendant]

damn nice

[narrow granite]

Hmm, I can't say for sure I spoke to him twice after that, but it feels like I did, after like 20 hours of gameplay lol

[drowsy jackal]

idunno - i can clear a run in hades 1 in like...
3-4 attempts?
from a clean save, i mean

this one is way, way harder

[stone pendant]

Im still struggling with ||phase 2, I had a run once where I had everything I needed to beat him but the got one tapped by a phase 2 attack||

[naive stump]

Clean saves will be harder in this game anyways lmao ||thanks to the Eris "blessing"||

[stone pendant]

yeah, when 1.0 for hades came out I did hell mode in like 5 attempts from fresh save, this game is def much harder

[drowsy jackal]

||phase 2 is less about fighting granddad and more about dodging arena hazards - focus on that and deal some small damage in between||

[drowsy jackal]

oh yeah, right
i actually forgot about her
haven't seen her in ages

[stone pendant]

I think I actually got to ||Chronos|| on my 4th run of this game, been kinda hardstuck since then

Even with ||Eris being funny||

run 1 victory seems pretty impossible to me tbh

Maybe TAS, but humanly I really question it

[drowsy jackal]

oh i feel like they're totally possible

as long as you follow the age old adage of "just don't get hit lmao"

it's easy
just draw the rest of the freaking owl!

[naive stump]

Embrace hypnos's teachings

[drowsy jackal]

go to sleep?

[stone pendant]

Yeah, but the main problem is that you just don't do all that much damage without arcana so you'd have to "not get hit" for a REALLY long time against ||grandpap||

[marsh root]

is there any tutorials on how to get ||weapons aspects ||

[candid vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/viva-la-dirt-league-vldl-souls-logic-dark-souls-git-gud-gif-19856700

[plush stirrup]

I found it happens if Nightmare hex ends while you're mid animation using the special. You can't get out of it until you use special again or change rooms

it's gotten me killed a couple times for sure

[stone pendant]

||The invocation is unlocked by post fight banter with Hecate in ACT 1, seems to trigger once you've had a couple weapon specific talks with her, for me it happened after the Axe talk||

[marsh root]

ok ok

[stone pendant]

keep fighting her and they should eventually unlock

[ashen agate]

Death to Chronos

[drowsy jackal]

ah damn it
i choked on ||phase 2|| again

and i had such a strong build too

the lack of magick did me in
and hubris - on skipping the tooth on the last zone

god this game is pretty

30 hours in and i still find myself stopping and just going all at how pretty it all is

[royal pumice]

I need health, one option (second region) ||Narcisscus, other option, Aphrodite behind a mini boss|| none of these emotes describe my pain

[drowsy jackal]

||narcissus||

[royal pumice]

I finally gave Aphro her nectar rewarded with a fountain after tho

[drowsy jackal]

I, um...
i... i've got nothing for this one

make your own jokes about this

[royal pumice]

Does anyone have the numbers for locations in each region? I can't go into the other discussion channels or check reddit yet

[mortal shuttle]

Erebus: boss is 12
I don't remember region 2 but I think boss is 24
Region 3 boss is 32

(at least that was what it was on the last run where I paid attention)

[drowsy jackal]

oh god it's happening again

+70% sprint

[candid vortex]

honestly I bring evil eye for chronos

its 20/25/30 damage to last person that killed you

[drowsy jackal]

yeah currently it's ||scylla|| for me
and 9/10 times i don't need it on her

[candid vortex]

I take it at the finally trinket

[drowsy jackal]

so i have to take it and intentionally leave something else that might be useful
and then die on granddad

[somber hornet]

I felt +65% was basically uncontrollable

[drowsy jackal]

i had +100 a few hours ago

[candid vortex]

we need to go faster

[royal pumice]

Smartttt

[somber hornet]

wild drifting at higher speeds

[drowsy jackal]

AND mel was wearing a blue dress from arachne
literally gotta go fast

[candid vortex]

it plus the duo between aphro and seus is the new merciful end to me

[royal pumice]

The hex that ||summons an enemy to fight for you|| if they patch out friendly fire it's gonna be a new fave of mine next to moon water

[candid vortex]

i think I ended the run in like 2 minutes for finale boss

I really like wolf howl actually

its good for repositioning, does damage, and if upgraded can let you be invinicle for a little bit

also do extra damage afterwards

and it can be triggered twice in a row when upgraded

I slept on it until recently

[drowsy jackal]

i just nuked a tiny little spindle with a 1100 total eclipse

he was the last one left too

[candid vortex]

get eclipsed idiot

[drowsy jackal]

poor fella went everywhere

[royal pumice]

Back in ||Tartarus, dunno which keepsake I want to take, the only ones I'm missing are|| (keepsake spoilers) ||Icarus, Medea, Odysseus and 4th area event person||

[candid vortex]

evil eyeeeeeeeeeeeee

[royal pumice]

I just might go with evil eye

[candid vortex]

if it applies, and if it doesnt and || chronos kills you it sets you up for next run|| do it for nem

[royal pumice]

The other option is lucky tooth but 50 HP

[royal pumice]

DO IT FOR NEM my decision is made

[candid vortex]

think of the tsundere muscle goth

[azure sphinx]

ya'll I just beat ||Eris|| after like 3 hours and I'm just now learning that there are ||weapon aspects?!?||

[candid vortex]

yes

seems like its a bit of rng if you get the hecate convo to unlock it

[azure sphinx]

ah lovely

[candid vortex]

yeah fight her a few times and the incatation for it should pop

[drowsy jackal]

oh wait
so the evil eye changes it's target even if i die without it equipped?
interesting

[azure sphinx]

what night are ya'll at

[candid vortex]

yeah

its just whoever you last die to

[naive stump]

I love spindles
They just yippeeeee

[royal pumice]

I found the fourth area's event person all this time in the screenshots ||I thought he was beheaded||

[agile siren]

did you have an issue aiming wolf howl fully upgraded? it wouldn't let me aim after the upgrade that lets you do it a second time after 3 seconds and i wasn't 100% sure if it's a bug or a feature

[candid vortex]

I saw some fan art where is was just mel walking out to like 48 yippees and then her slowly walking away

[candid vortex]

I had some issue with it but I switched to controller and it worked better

[royal pumice]

Omg where

[naive stump]

Wolf howl my beloved purely for the guaranteed crits

[candid vortex]

oh I think it was tunblr, Ill have to search

[drowsy jackal]

ooooooooh

this is gonna be OP as hell

[agile siren]

i use steam deck... it's not that aiming was harder or something, it's that the targetting circle thing would no longer appear.

now that i'm describing it like that, i think it probably is a bug

[candid vortex]

most likely

[royal pumice]

My laptop went into low battery mode during the final boss and ||the boss undoes your pause after like 3 seconds||

[elder bough]

Wait @proven shuttle #h2-feedback message
😭 even a legendary boon can’t make scorch any better than base Poseidon splash??

[drowsy jackal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/638031423340806185/1238401235791642624/a_singular_F.png?ex=6641c986&is=66407806&hm=cfef3a14f7e2570c9281dc10da8807db795f70852cac138bcd25feb63efe56c1&

[royal pumice]

Tbf I def wasn't winning ||I haven't learned how to avoid his hits, much less the hell that phase 2 is described to be||

[proven shuttle]

The legendary? No. Takes too much work to get for something that doesn't do enough.

HOWEVER! Scorch does have curse synergy ||Especially for the Privileged Status arcana|| and Fire Extinguisher is a better Scorch payoff than the Legendary. As an off-the-cuff suggestion I would swap the current legendary and Fire Extinguisher, tweak the numbers and remove the set of required boons that have nothing to do with Scorch.

[elder bough]

Fire extinguisher still makes it deal a fraction of splash lol

Crazy how you can have the main boon from hestia, the legendary, and a “fixer” boon and it still pales versus one main boon from Poseidon

[proven shuttle]

So far the best use I've got out of Scorch is enabling other damage boosts, and even then weak, hitch and daze are my go-to curses for that task

[elder bough]

I’d rather get slip from Poseidon

Cause at least I’m guaranteed good use instantly

[drowsy jackal]

HOLY-

[agile siren]

i like the idea of the mechanic i just wish ||the unpause would happen instantly or with a much shorter delay. the way it is it's long enough to press the button, go do something else and simply not notice until you're back||

[elder bough]

Starting on his boons

[drowsy jackal]

how does ||fine tuning|| work?
i don't understand

[kindred blade]

||aspect upgrades|| just like in the first game

[elder bough]

Bruh just ignored the attempt to spoiler

[drowsy jackal]

yeah but im not using any ||aspects||
so

it's just a basic weapon

[kindred blade]

||aspect|| of melenoe

[drowsy jackal]

yeah but
if i pick it then is it going to reset after this run?

[elder bough]

Ok at this point there’s nobody that doesn’t know what we’re talking about

[drowsy jackal]

oh shush
i just don't want to get my messages deleted lol

[elder bough]

Lmao

||should give whatever leveling base aspect does||

[drowsy jackal]

yeah but i don't know that so
im getting the duo

[elder bough]

I’d do it too

[kindred blade]

yeah unfortunately if you haven’t got the right crossroads upgrade that boon is mysterious

[royal pumice]

I'm torn because the current set up made it easier for me to quickly plug in my computer but I def agree it needs a [louder] (figuratively speaking) gesture

[elder bough]

@rose portal #h2-feedback message they deal 3 not 13

But absolutely it gets annoying to get comboed for 1/3 my hp cause I messed up once in the first area

[elder bough]

He just goes HEY! NO!

Frame 1

[royal pumice]

I do hope the summon hex gets a friendly fire buff tho (third area boss) ||kinda sucks to summon a monster and it gets caught up in the spray or have to avoid shooting it, the punching monsters did crazy damage to Cerb, almost made me just put my controller down and let them handle him||

[agile siren]

huh i see your point, for me it was ||my kid going "i think i have to throw up" so i lightning speed pressed the button and jumped if i had immediately seen it didn't pause i'd have taken the additional millisecond to close the tab instead||

[rose portal]

I might have gotten hit by more than that, so it is possible that I misinterpreted where the damage numbers where coming from. But I went from 93 hp down to 54 hp and I'm pretty sure the only thing that hit me was the worm.

[royal pumice]

I went "you talking to me?" and then "oh - you are! wait "

[elder bough]

You’d have had your save wiped for that

Run*******

[royal pumice]

Noooo, honestly so fair, I wonder what he does if you F10 instead does Greg himself come down and fight him for us?/j

[timid lagoon]

mild surface spoiler
||Melinoe's voice changing with Circe's boons is hilarious
I was so confused for a second. She sounds a bit like Demeter
I hope there is some dialog acknowledging it. Like, Poseidon going,
"Ha, niece, you've grown up!
How time flies! Feels like I've last seen you just yesterday!"||

[royal pumice]

now for my reaction (fourth area event) ||Hades is just standing around dogless (if you don't make it to Cerb) with Bouldy, the poor jerk, I'm surprised a heterochromic-eyed kid walked up to him and he didn't immediately think it was his || (not asking for an answer) ||So where did Chronos put Zag and Persephone then did Nyx hoist them away?||

[drowsy jackal]

oh my GOD how tf am i supposed to dodge that spinning thing ||chronos|| throws?

this thing ends my every run

[royal pumice]

how do you dodge anything he throws

[drowsy jackal]

yeah but it's so big and goes so fast and it's just... awkward

[plush stirrup]

he telegraphs all his moves

[royal pumice]

i wasn't being rhetorical

[drowsy jackal]

yeah especially when he's off screen

this one thing is annoying af, not gonna lie

[oblique holly]

think he makes a sound when he throws it? but i dont remember

[drowsy jackal]

does he make a different sound?
cause he does the hurrrr before every scythe attack but it's barely audible under all the other noise going there

[oblique holly]

Not 100% sure but yeah i was just listening because its rlly difficult to visually see his telegraphs

[drowsy jackal]

yeah

[cosmic jewel]

God

this game is so freaking good

Anyone ever stream a game and get so hooked you wanna keep playing despite having played it for hours, only to realize since the cameras off you gotta record your playthrough?

thats me with hades 2

[unkempt marsh]

It's so so good but it's so much harder than the original my god

[peak osprey]

Its going to sound silly but, how do you play the witch staff? boons and attack/special oriented... too much of daggers for now

[wet pumice]

You gotta try ma June gun staff cast lightning build

[peak osprey]

june?

[agile epoch]

where do you get garlic😭

[naive stump]

||first biome of the surface, shovel||

[agile epoch]

omg theres a second part to the cauldron

[royal pumice]

what about iron?

[agile epoch]

im so stupid

[naive stump]

||2nd surface biome||

[royal pumice]

righttttttt

[drowsy jackal]

dear lord this is gorgeous
i just got to ||ephyra|| and my jaw hit the floor

you guys really outdid yourself with this one, seriously
there's a little bit of everything here and it's all polished to a mirror sheen

[royal pumice]

I want to open this so badly

[drowsy jackal]

it's so worth it
||it's like having hades 2 and 3 in a single package lol||

[bleak storm]

||I've been able to give echo 1 nectar so far||

[royal pumice]

spoiler tags please

[bleak storm]

am I supposed to be able to give her more eventually? cause it's been like 10 times

[royal pumice]

Do you have ||the incantation to show you relationship hearts?||

[bleak storm]

yup

[royal pumice]

Some characters have further gifting locked, likely behind dialogue

[bleak storm]

it says she'd welcome one...maybe I need to give some nectar to another individual in a different biome?

[royal pumice]

Hrmmmm, maybe?

[bleak storm]

I'll try giving one to ||captain hammer|| then

||by which I mean Narcissus (it's a reference), not Hephaestus or Daedalus||

[royal pumice]

I've had moments where it's not always consistent when you can gift, I can't imagine it being gated by anything other than story or individual dialogue

[coral apex]

How can I get ||hidden aspects|| ? I have 0 and I have no idea how to get them

[ripe trellis]

how do you increase Grasp? Ive been collecting green stuff but don't know how to increase the limit of 10

[naive stump]

Click the grasp wheel, it gets explained to you in game if you unlock more that you can fit

[drowsy jackal]

oh yeah - it's happening
30 hours in and i just ||cleared out the upper path|| on my first attempt and i gotta say...

this is my new fave SGG game
step aside, transistor
you've had a good run

[vagrant finch]

they did a superb job

Truly I don't know how they made it so perfect

[drowsy jackal]

i don't remember when was the last time i enjoyed a game this much
seriously

even if ||granddad|| kinda pissed me off

[mortal shuttle]

those of y'all playing on steam deck, what do you have bug-report keybound to?

[royal pumice]

I know this isn't inherently what you asked, but I think some players on steam deck were unable to type in the box, and so they're told to post in #h2-tech-support mentioning that they're on the steam deck

[agile epoch]

can you save and quit mid fight or what happens if you just quit?

in a boss battle and my controller passed away

[mortal shuttle]

that's honestly helpful though, since the first time I asked about reporting bugs on steam deck people were just like "set a keybind for the bug report 🤷🏻 " and I appreciate knowing that I have an avenue other than just being told "F10"!

[naive stump]

If you can press the actual quit button it should be saved, if you press give up then run is gone

[coral apex]

Ikr ?? I thought hades 1 was a 10/10 but this is somehow even better, everything so neat and perfected, and it's still a pre-release

[quick walrus]

Bbldrizzy

[vapid acorn]

Anyone know how the ||Aspect of Persephone|| for ||Argent Skull|| works? Is there a|| glory amount indicator|| somewhere that I'm missing that tells when you get ||an extended special and for how long||? Right now it feels like I just randomly get them.

[chrome wave]

Is there a way to make it possible to ||pause in the final fight? It's a neat detail but I sometimes really do need to pause lmao||

[naive stump]

||there's an incantation that requires 3 of his boss drop, so feel free to feedback that if you feel is too high|| you can just alt tab in the meanwhile

[agile epoch]

alt tab stops the game

[naive stump]

Oh yeah spoiler mark this btw

[cinder onyx]

How do these two boons interact? One says "You cannot take more than X damage in one hit" and another says "You take Y less damage in each hit". When you have both, which applies first?

[drowsy jackal]

[marble pine]

Hello! i want to make a question about the story (with no spoiler). I have reached 3rd boss and but still i don't understand why am i getting back to same place when i die? In previous game you are just bound to the underworld... but in hades 2 what brings you back? Should i learn it onwards or am i missing something ?

[desert anchor]

The frog is the best part of the game hands down

[royal pumice]

Melinoe does a casting spell to return herself to the crossroads

"return to shadow"

[drowsy jackal]

my guess would be that both of them go at the same time
as in - let's say your max X is 20 damage, that Y reduction is 50%
if something hits you for - let's say - a 100 dmg
it gets reduced by 50% - so it's 50
but that X caps it at 20 so you get hit by 20

however - if something hits you for 30dmg
it gets reduced by 50%
so you eat 15 dmg because it falls under that 20 cap

[hazy umbra]

Was looking for answers to my question in the search bar, but I'm also at 28/30, so we probably didn't miss anything

[cinder onyx]

Sorry the Y is flat not percentage. So like -5 per hit

So you're saying the Y applies first

[drowsy jackal]

well the same applies
if something hits you for 30 and gets reduced by 5 - it's 25
and then that other boon caps it at 20, in this example

[cinder onyx]

That's probably more balanced way for it to be. If you could cap your hits at 30 and then also reduce that number after the... Would be broken

[drowsy jackal]

however if something hits you for 20 and it gets reduced by 5
you end up eating 15 dmg because it falls under that damage cap

[cinder onyx]

Yeah if the cap applied first it would be op

I assume the inverse works the same. Where the boon that makes your hits do a minimum amount of damage is the last thing to apply

[agile epoch]

magic book

[marble pine]

also 1 more question i dont know if its the right channel but the Ceuntaur Card how do i awakening it ? It says Activate cards from 1 through 5

[royal pumice]

Activate a card that uses 1 grasp, one card that uses 2 grasp, 3, etc etc

[marble pine]

yes but i only have 10 point to spare

or..... it gets upgraded ?

[royal pumice]

You can unlock more space

[marble pine]

ok

[royal pumice]

scroll over to the circle in the arcana menu, on the far right

[tawdry dagger]

I had the same problem 😭

[marble pine]

ahhhhhh

[pliant furnace]

Is it posible to get all of the nightmares from a high heat run at once? Or is this game only giving one just like the first

[tawdry dagger]

I discovered it by accident when I was looking at the cards

i felt a bit stupid but also impressed with myslef reaching 3rd boss with only 10 points

lol

[tawdry dagger]

I frogot to ask it in spoiler, sorry 🤒

ty btw

[fading ivy]

guys, just wanted to check before I report it as a bug but when using the ||aspect of persephone of the skull|| (weapon spoiler ig) the doom that it's supposed to charge increases by so so little that I can genuinely never get it, and it's just like a small dot in the meter after every room, this normal or am I having a bug?

[naive stump]

Unreasonable small charge rn yeah, I'd feedback it instead

[fading ivy]

oh okay okay, so not a bug, thanks for the answer

[naive stump]

#h2-feedback message
@crystal forge the dodge card is have 3 of the same cost cards equipped, not just 3 of them and nothing else

[elder bough]

i think you're missing the point

[crystal forge]

im not talking about the dodge card..

[naive stump]

Oh oops, sorry

[elder bough]

it's the one with no more than 3 cards equipped

[naive stump]

Yesh is the duo one right

[elder bough]

idr what that actually does tho

[crystal forge]

i gives you more change for a "duo" boon.

[naive stump]

Or do you mean ||judgement/post chronos card||

[elder bough]

duos actually need to be consistently good lmao

it could be more enticing if they were as strong as in hades 1

[peak osprey]

How do you get ||moss ||and ||thalamus||? Are they both ||in the surface||?

[naive stump]

||first biome surface for moss, chaos for the 2nd||

[peak osprey]

||pickaxe||?

[naive stump]

By hand/shovel respectively

[crystal forge]

the duo card could be good if it was like at least 50% but the handikap with just 3 othercards seems way too steep for me at least.

[naive stump]

Bruh what, 50% for duos is overkill

[elder bough]

molten touch is insane LOL first time seeing it

+30% armor damage is +30% damage tbh

[naive stump]

It maxes out at 10% no? Tbh I think is fine, same odds as god's legacy (tho no legendaries bonus)

[crystal forge]

well it´s just to be able to get duos well 25% then maybe? way higher then 6 at least

[elder bough]

10 would be nice imo

[crystal forge]

but is that card really good enough to sacrifice most other card? if you are really good maybe i guess.

[elder bough]

it's good for farming prophecies that's for sure

[naive stump]

Idk the base odds for this game but I think it depends on how many duos you wanna get

[elder bough]

react if you never knew controls had another page

[naive stump]

If you only want 1 then rerolls + rarity buff from like yarn or chaos may do the trick just fine

[crystal forge]

but another question is how often do you even get a combination of boons that are even capable of duos?

[naive stump]

It gets easier once you get the boon list upgrade

[elder bough]

you need the book to show prereqs

[naive stump]

Otherwise is just kinda random

[royal pumice]

Honestly bragworthy

[crystal forge]

aha, so there is a boonlist? well it should be at least more worth it to get that card, counting how much you sacrifice for it or they could just change so you get to keep more cards instead i guess.

[elder bough]

@whole path you reposted my request three suggestions down without voting on mine 😭

silly

[whole path]

oh chat is moving so fast let me find it ^^

[naive stump]

Need to get all keepsakes from the gods for the upgrade to show up

[elder bough]

@raven coyote double tap to charge omegas! :D #h2-feedback message

well i thought that worked, now outside of combat it isnt. cast omegas are still easy

hold on

ooh found a bug

[solar fractal]

you can report those with F10 in-game

[elder bough]

yup

hold attack and special with autofire on, you get first attack spam

@compact crow #h2-feedback message dash away during omega cast startup!

[elder bough]

why can chaos ask for over half of your default max hp 😭

#h2-feedback message @gloomy bane you're describing a stupidly long tap buffer, it's incredibly big in this game 😭

that's the name of it, now you know!

[gloomy bane]

Huh. I was about to google it. Thank you kindly. Out of curiosity: do you agree with my observation?
Also, why the response in the no spoiler section? Did I miss something?

[elder bough]

nah i just live here

[naive stump]

Feedback channel is not for discussion, the bot message mentions it a lot (and I think the other channel just goes too fast lol)

[elder bough]

and yes i definitely do, the tap buffer is unforgivably long. 9f is pretty good imo, this is like 30+.

and dashing should indeed cancel more animations than it does

[naive stump]

Also yeah axe/daggers finisher is so easy to get locked into lol

[royal pumice]

I wonder if it will be patched

[elder bough]

I pray

opinions on furnace blast from hephaestus? adds 300 damage to the blast effect!

[fading ivy]

Yeahh, it's why I'm personally not the biggest fan of the axe tbh

[royal pumice]

I sure hope so, I click the buttons way too recklessly, dashes are my instinct to cancel the attacks but it often follows through and I just gotta watch Melinoe eat metal

I've reached (vague spoilers) ||both final bosses now I just need to git gud||

[elder bough]

im fighting boss 2 with no arcana am i good at this game if i win :3

(I will not win)

[royal pumice]

I almost managed that but alas

killed the ||featured artist|| in ||second phase|| but died, oh well

i only had 60hp to start so im proud

time to play with arcana again! so exciting

[peak osprey]

any recommendations for ||running the skull||?

[graceful nebula]

The omega special is what I would focus on buffing

[hot quail]

[Late-game] Is there any way to get ||animal crackers|| without sacrificng a ||stardust||?

[worldly pulsar]

Nope

[elder bough]

@willow perch press b to see your loadout including hp cash and boons

It works at wells too

[willow perch]

Good to know, but honestly would still like for it to be on screen at the time. Also as far as I can tell there is no way of accessing the codex list of what possible boons a god can give you

[naive stump]

if this is about charon wells and gold it should still show up during the actual well imo (also yeah codex on boon menu)

[elder bough]

Later on you get that

[naive stump]

no, you can get the boon list but if you are in a boon menu it can't be opened

[elder bough]

Oh I didn’t read close enough

Actually no, I just didn’t assume he meant on the boon choice menu

[willow perch]

My fault, I meant it as a tag on to my original post talking about being unable to see the list while selecting boons, but didn't include that in my reply, so I can see it being confusing

[elder bough]

Ah I see

[dim laurel]

nothing like the hades 1 fight

[oak wadi]

Do you think this is intentional

[naive stump]

Considering you could do that in 1? No

[timid wave]

Do we know if Hades 2 will be reset on full release, I just 100'd the current content

[naive stump]

#h2-feedback message @red ivy the duo actually does that, just not to every keepsake (had lvl 4 tooth for example)

Heph's legendary also can give you rank 6 aspects

[red ivy]

I litterally just watched that same boon fail to level up a rank 3 luckier tooth so I guess I found a bug

[naive stump]

did you already have tooth equipped?

[red ivy]

yep - rank 3

it was a few runs back so I can't really bug report it properly....

[naive stump]

I think you need to swap into it after the duo, was using embryo when taking the duo, didn't level up, swapped into tooth and it leveled up

[red ivy]

ohhhhhhhh

[naive stump]

ig there's still feedback in that it should work on your current keepsake if applicable lol (or explain at least)

[red ivy]

I dont really like that design tbh - it makes that boon null on the last region of either path. they should make it so it doesnt appear in those regions I guess. I think I got it on the ships so that kindof makes sense

If you start playing Hades II Early Access, we are committed to making sure your save data works all through development, including once we launch v1.0.

[timid wave]

Thank you

[inner cairn]

how many hours did it take you??

[timid wave]

Like 30ish hours?

[hazy umbra]

I don't think that's enough to 100% the current content

[timid wave]

I may not have but the game hasn't seemed to progress anymore no matter how much I've done

[inner cairn]

i have half that and i’m not even halfway

[naive stump]

@waxen aurora #h2-feedback message yeah your special does some dmg at close range (like 20) and base cast binds enemy in place

also the chaos boon should work on your omega special anyways

[primal trench]

They said they will try not to reset saves if possible

Hades 1 didn't reset, but you never know, maybe some update does require it. Just know it's in their intentions not to

[topaz bramble]

you did not 100 percent it in 30 hours they said there will be at least 200 hours of content

[worthy ocean]

I dont think that's what 100%ing the game means tho...

[worthy ocean]

Well, its far away in the future, might as well just start fresh again!

[vagrant knoll]

Looking forward to extreme measures being added

Beat ||Chronos|| for the first time with a build I didn't even think would take me past ||Scylla||, very satisfying feeling

[primal trench]

I'm definitely starting a new save, but not everyone is me
