warm nimbus
#

i get why ri0 to ri1 is bad lol

devout terrace
#

RI1 AP2 is always done on aspects that could do much better with AP2 RI0

#

because of DC0

#

sometimes you have to RI2 AP2

#

so you lower JS to 1

#

and that makes the run a lot easier

warm nimbus
#

wtf that sounds terrible

#

js3 seems way better than ri2

devout terrace
#

Its only 50hp

#

and keep in mind you only have to do RI2 AP2 for a handful of aspects

warm nimbus
#

50 hp a lot in tart tho

devout terrace
#

like arthur/hestia/zag bow for example

#

and those aspects are safe

warm nimbus
#

idk

#

what do you think about ri1 ap1 for eris

devout terrace
#

I wouldnt

warm nimbus
#

but i feel like its a reasonable pact

signal aspen
#

Em4 better

warm nimbus
#

my reasoning goes
ri2 bad because tart hurt
ap2 bad because you need boons
em4 bad because em4

#

so why not do ri1 ap1

Aww dad comments on mom trinket

#

Dad spamming adds when I’m using Chiron AAAAA

foggy lark
#

Yeah that's annoying w/ Chiron. I love Chiron otherwise.

#

Bad for spread out enemies though.

rustic vale
#

Ez just don’t use chiron

#

Won’t have problems then

twilit lodge
#

🧠

rustic vale
#

I’m being 75% serious

#

Perhaps even 80% serious

signal aspen
#

Hello fellow chiron haters

rustic vale
#

I don’t hate chiron I just like every other bow aspect 100000000000% more

#

Guan yu? How about guan me, buddy

rustic vale
#

Lies

signal aspen
#

Guan yu goated

rustic vale
patent mesa
#

average underdrive fan

latent moon
#

Guan Yu is based I'm just bad

twilit lodge
#

Ayye you can quit and choose a different door if you open the wrong one

#

Saved me from a cursed run just now

foggy lark
signal aspen
#

Yeah it falls off at high heats and speedruns

latent moon
#

Chiron is fun to play casually

swift inlet
swift inlet
rustic vale
twilit lodge
#

Don’t think so

#

Or if it does it’s v short

swift inlet
#

It isn't as bad as zeus if it does

twilit lodge
#

Even without Chiron you can support fire bow special point blank and see the brrrrr

swift inlet
#

Not as fun

#

I have a very funny chiron run saved

#

Splitting bolt, smair, low tolerance, double strike, support fire, zeus dash = funny vfx go brrrrrr

foggy lark
#

Haha.

swift inlet
#

Smair low key didn't do that much bc hangover + the other damage sources would charge call in less than 5 seconds anyway

latent moon
#

Chiron specials are faster than others besides rama because it has less arrows

latent moon
#

And it'll never happen again

swift inlet
#

Chiron specials have the benefit of range yep

swift inlet
latent moon
#

High special % and splitting headache

#

And conc volley

#

And rd

#

And ps I suppose

swift inlet
#

How much does conc volley boost by anyway

#

Like, 4 extra arrows seems like it'd be better but idk the exact values

latent moon
#

Shackle had a spreadsheet that did the damage

swift inlet
#

Link/screen where

#

Actually I could probably just use damage bar to find out

latent moon
#

Idk where it is

latent moon
#

Lmfao

warm nimbus
#

thats relentless conc relentless+conc

#

so thats why you start conc

latent moon
#

Relentless is only good if you have like a lvl 1 or 2 Chiron bow

swift inlet
#

Wait, how does the +3 damage boost work

latent moon
#

Each arrow does +3 from the previous

swift inlet
#

10, 13, 16, 19, oh-

#

It's building

rustic vale
#

I have a spreadsheet give me a second

swift inlet
#

I was confused for a minute because my brain didn't think of the stacking

#

Monkey brain thought 8 shots x 3 damage boost to get 24

swift inlet
#

And not what is apparently 108

rustic vale
swift inlet
#

Ah

rustic vale
#

with both its 318

swift inlet
#

Imagine if they extended it to include 3 volleys

#

Since one chiron target gives you time to special 3 times

swift inlet
#

What would the boost on that be

rustic vale
#

with epic swift flourish...

swift inlet
#

Knowing hermes it probably doesn't help dash specials

rustic vale
#

you can not only get 4 volleys in... it's fast enough that they chain

rustic vale
swift inlet
#

Well he doesn't help dash strikes on bow

#

Rude mf

rustic vale
#

yes but there literally isn't a dash special on anything other than fist and maybe shield with dashing flight if you count that

#

Anyways with epic swift flourish you can get 4 volleys in that keep the concentrated chain going between them

swift inlet
#

But like

#

Does it actually work like that

#

I was just saying it would be cool if it did, assuming it didn't

rustic vale
#

does chiron with concentrated and epic swift flourish actually keep the concentrated chain going between volleys? yes!

swift inlet
#

Separate chiron volleys stacking conc volley

rustic vale
swift inlet
#

Holy chiron

rustic vale
#

or heroic swift flourish

swift inlet
#

So without either it just resets back to 10 at the start of each volley?

signal aspen
#

I think so

swift inlet
#

Sad

#

Eury high roll for the chiron build of all time

rustic vale
#

but if you get all 4 volleys in with concentrated and epic swift flourish you should be doing 1798 base damage if I did my math right

signal aspen
#

I haven't played chiron in over 4 or 5 months so idk if it actually resets or not

rustic vale
#

and if you do the same but also have relentless volley you should be doing 3713 base damage if I did my math right

#

I know it resets but epic swift flourish makes your specials fast enough to keep the chain going

#

without reseting

swift inlet
#

Holy moly

#

Speedrun highroll

signal aspen
swift inlet
#

Heart rend art special conc+relentless + epic rd

#

You need both hammers + 3 hermes

swift inlet
#

Yes I know

rustic vale

#

Instructions unclear, I didn't instaphase with 1 arrow

Reported

#

Oops I see the issue now

#

I wasn't using rama

swift inlet
#

What's with the stuff in this game that advertises itself so awfully

#

Sigil and guan yu especially

patent mesa
#

for gy I kinda get it

#

lifesteal is flashiest part and I bet devs assumed it would also be strongest part

#

but yeah gy only advertising lifesteal and not megacracked special hurts general perception of it sooo much

swift inlet
#

It just says explosive special but like

warm nimbus
patent mesa
#

yeah I fixated on lifesteal as a new player

swift inlet
#

Every other thing sounds way better because they actually tell you what the effects are

snow skiff
#

Special is only megacracked with ckewer

#

No ckewer gy is ☠️

patent mesa
#

fine

#

megacracked vs vanilla special

swift inlet
patent mesa
#

recall ☠️☠️

warm nimbus
#

wait

snow skiff
#

Is gy standard attack slower than standard spear attack

warm nimbus
#

isnt the whole point of gy to lifesteal?

snow skiff
#

Or have i been corrupted by too much flurry jab

warm nimbus
#

the special seems useless, its only a spammable 45 base damage attack with super wide aoe that goes way past its visuals

warm nimbus
patent mesa
#

it does explicitly say that gy attack is "heavy"

lean timber
#

first hit is identical to normal spear, 2nd and 3rd hits are extremely slow almost as bad as arthur

swift inlet
#

I really wish they didn't make every hidden aspect but lucifer slow fat moveset

#

Honestly

#

Hot take talos would be a better hidden aspect than gilgamesh

#

Shut up matty don't make me get a sub7 hera

patent mesa
#

wait third hit of gy attack combo is 100 damage?

#

that seems absurdly high

lean timber
#

have you guys literally never played with guan yu

#

it's arthur levels of power

patent mesa
#

I've never tried to standing strike

swift inlet
#

you shouldn't

#

standing strike is gross

lean timber
#

don't talk to me

swift inlet
#

He just

#

Hops

#

He hops in place

patent mesa
#

but 100d

#

that's a max hellfire

swift inlet
#

wtf is a min hellfire

patent mesa
#

I think it's like 50

#

if only I could do h!a lucifer 1 in here

#

but sgg won't respond to my email

snow skiff
patent mesa
#

same effect?

snow skiff
#

No

#

It did what calc risk does now

patent mesa
#

bruh

lean timber
#

awesome.

#

need tbh

patent mesa
#

I would unironically prefer calc risk over parting shot

#

since most my runs force aphro athena

lean timber
#

even on hera

#

i would take calc risk

#

parting shot is awesome tho

swift inlet
patent mesa
#

yeah calc risk is underrated imo

swift inlet
#

Is that like heat arthur or something

patent mesa
#

it's pretty nice

signal aspen
#

But parting shot makes your attacks backstab without shadow presence except they don't deal the extra damage

swift inlet
#

calc risk is super good when heat is involved

lean timber
#

yeah it's epic

patent mesa
#

esp gy tbh

swift inlet
#

You only need that for heat

patent mesa
#

but I'm a ddash slave

signal aspen
#

I remember dashing into a skull because I thought it would be faster with calc risk

swift inlet
#

I just don't use dash

#

Also

#

I just remembered

patent mesa
lean timber
#

aphro athena? why would you use the two most powerful and useful gods thonking

patent mesa
#

wdym aphro

#

EDTTOAAMO

swift inlet
#

Aphro is weird

lean timber
#

enough. d

swift inlet
#

Speedrun like her for big number

#

And smair very nice

#

otherwise she doesn't do much

patent mesa
#

smair sucks, nerfs arty call

lean timber
#

erm? weak? highest % multiplier?

signal aspen
swift inlet
#

Weak lame simply chill them

#

You don't need damage reduction if you don't get hit 🧠

#

In other news

patent mesa
#

hypnos is 100% an aphro hater

swift inlet
#

I had an eris pb the other day and clockets did less damage than tdash to heroes

terse geyser

absolutely crushes styx at least

Funny safe chiron build

Sobbing in no heroic swift flourish

rustic vale
#

From what I’ve been told

swift inlet
#

sad

lean timber
#

rare crop cannot, refreshing nectar can

#

or more specifically they didn't bother to give it an exception because for standard play it's unlikely to have any before eurydice

snow skiff
#

Pretty lame if there was no way to get heroic hermes

latent moon

Heroic sure footing is so based

#

7.5 damage pots on HS idk if it rounds down or up

80% faster casting mmm

Yo that's almost the dodge chance from zag fists

#

Best boon in the game right there

#

Basically 2 aspects combined

grand fox
#

i have question regarding keepsake

#

i have that bond thimgy with charon

#

what does that m e a n

rustic vale
warm nimbus
#

its just cosmetic

grand fox
#

this game explains nothing

warm nimbus
#

means you maxed out your relationship with him

rustic vale
grand fox
warm nimbus
#

doesnt affect functionality of anything

lean timber
#

YOU HAVE IT

warm nimbus
lean timber
#

IT CANE FREE WITH YOUR F

#

AMBROSIA

rustic vale
#

Were you just not paying attention to the game

warm nimbus
#

its the tiny icon on the keepsake

grand fox
#

is it just the icon

#

ok

warm nimbus
#

yeah

grand fox
#

this happens a lot

rustic vale
#

Just like me fr

#

Except I already know everything about the game

grand fox
#

i got like 2 layers into the contract before i unlocked aspects

#

I'm not smart

latent moon
#

When you finish a bond you sorta finish their story line
I say sorta because I don't remember what ares' favor is but you have to hook him up with Nyx or something at some point and I'm pretty sure that's not needed for bonds

grand fox
#

🧠

warm nimbus
#

bruhh

rustic vale
#

I should try talos heavy knuckle

latent moon
#

been there done that

#

not fun

#

heavy knuckle is just bouldy

rustic vale
#

heavy knuckle is just worst spreadfire zag ik

#

But I want to do something interesting with fists

latent moon
#

you can do arty strike aphro dash for heart rend and pull a retrash i guess

#

my guess is the best way to go around heavy knuckle talos is just get your 3 hits in, and dash out

#

maybe conc knuckle might be good if you dont dstrike lol

rustic vale
#

Heavy knuckle plus concentrated is like

#

40, 45, 50

#

Would probably like long knuckle or breaching cross or something instead

latent moon
#

i mean

#

yeah those are probably a lot better lmfao

rustic vale
#

Or maybe I could try for another special only sword run idk what to do

latent moon
#

do heavy knuckle talos

#

do what i couldn't

#

i died twice to heroes, once to dad, was about to die again, then hit give up because i wanted to save epic atk and c1 chaos lmfao

#

seeded run gaming

#

he already did it with super and double nova

#

dash nova actively harms you lmao

rustic vale
#

I’m not trying to torture myself here

#

I do fun things like flurry fire swift strike pos attack zag rail which definitely aren’t a pain to use

#

dash nova is where I draw the line

warm nimbus
#

heart rend = heart rend

#

retrash = good

grand fox
#

what about playing with shackle at least partially active the entire run

#

but without shackle

swift inlet
#

retrash orz

#

tailesque orz

grand fox
#

what's beo

#

i need to play this game more, I don't remember any of the names

grand fox
#

grand fox
#

i just noticed your name

swift inlet
#

I don't remember who this used to be

grand fox
#

shackle is fun

#

i need to level it

rustic vale
grand fox
#

1* is already pretty big innit

latent moon
#

I still need to do shackle beo at 40 heat residentzag

grand fox
#

like 50%

rustic vale
latent moon
grand fox
#

anyways pierced butterfly is best keepsake fite me

rustic vale
#

Pierced butterfly is negligible damage %

latent moon
#

Butterfly sucks lmao

rustic vale
#

it sucks

grand fox
#

yes

rustic vale
grand fox
#

the point is you get it to like 70% by hades

latent moon
#

imagine not having control of your build

latent moon
grand fox
#

imagine being good at hades bouldy

#

couldn't be me

rustic vale
latent moon
#

thing is, you always want to take a gods' keepsake into tart and aspho, and taking butterfly into ely isnt worth the bonus at that point
you can make a case for some builds where you can start aspho with butterfly, but asphodel is literally 4 chambers lmao

grand fox
latent moon
#

i mean you can win with anything with enough skill

rustic vale
latent moon
#

it's just how easy you want to make it for yourself

#

also

rustic vale
#

64*

latent moon
#

retrash's builds are so horrid but he can clear at what 50 or whatever lmao

#

i haven't watched any of his runs but they exist

grand fox
#

i beat transistor without using turn() until the last boss and i beat bastion with multiple idols whilst forgor shield, i can take hades without paying attention to builds

latent moon
#

i mean we never said it wasn't possible to beat hades

#

we just said it's bad

rustic vale
#

rather than

#

Not

latent moon
#

there's a difference between something working and something being bad

rustic vale
grand fox
#

what

#

isn't fists the big risky dps

latent moon
#

like yeah sure, you can run tempest strike talos and beat, let's say, 20 heat, but that doesn't mean it's good

rustic vale
#

fist is not the big risky dps

grand fox
#

w h aat

rustic vale
#

fists is the big risky no dps

latent moon
#

it was an example

grand fox
latent moon
#

fists are cringe tho i agree

hollow urchin
#

so why do some of the random gods blink in the pngs
its only like one or two of them that do it but still creepy when it happens

rustic vale
grand fox
#

fists are my favorite

rustic vale
#

they feel so good to use

I love fists

merciful end moment

rustic vale
grand fox
#

what's the best weapon then

rustic vale
grand fox
#

please don't say rail the rail sucks

latent moon
#

i like the idea of punching the crap out of everything, i just hate all the builds lmao

grand fox
#

ech

#

bow is cool

rustic vale
#

I wouldn’t say any weapon is the “best” sike beowulf

grand fox
#

fists, bow, and sword are fun

rustic vale
#

It’s not op

latent moon
grand fox
#

the rest is eh..

hollow urchin

i like the fists that suck enemies towards me the most even if its one of the weaker ones

i spent titan blood on chiron, worst mistake ever

rustic vale
#

The multiple specials are useless

grand fox
#

chaos shield funni

rustic vale
#

Zag gives damage and zeus lets you just throw it around autonomously but chaos is just eh

grand fox
#

chaos is absolutely more based than zeus tho

reef glen
#

so then what wep should I work towards just for general runs?

rustic vale
latent moon
#

the best hammer for shield is charged shot, and never touch the special
none of what i just said applies to zeus shield tho

hollow urchin
#

ive had the most success with the gun

rustic vale
#

I like every weapon

rustic vale
#

They are all the best weapon

latent moon
#

sword also doodoo

hollow urchin
#

like im on my 7th gun win and only like 1-3 wins on all other weapons :c

grand fox
#

ranged weapons are lowkey cringe

rustic vale
rustic vale
grand fox
#

i can't figure out how to use the ranged weapons against bosses effectively

swift inlet
latent moon
hollow urchin
#

mainly because the hammer upgrade that gives you 3 bombs is like instant win

tons of range and damage

grand fox
latent moon
#

then stop shooting and dodge

#

idk what the issue is

grand fox
#

and ranged attack dash strikes do jack all

swift inlet
#

Pommed it a ton and it still did less than the actual special

latent moon
#

with bow you literally have to dstrike

swift inlet
#

Rama stocks fall to 0

grand fox
#

with melee i can just fly across the screen and win

rustic vale

#

with ranged weapons your projectile can fly across the screen and win bouldy

well i got one run when i randomed on the cerberes rooms anvil

how is eris busted?

lean timber
#

big damage is big

rustic vale
latent moon
grand fox
#

nothing's busted unless you gaming on that stank ass windows 95 puter

also clockets, cluster bomb and rocket bomb, deals base 400 damage at point blank

rustic vale
swift inlet
#

Moves to 700 with eris buff

reef glen
#

im not looking to do high end runs just yet, just looking to fill out the prophecies and looking for something I can unlock early on just to play with

#

ive only had the game for a week

grand fox
#

I'm used to blowing things up with a giant musket in bastion this game makes no sense to me

rustic vale
grand fox
#

what the hell does that m e a n

rustic vale
hollow urchin
rustic vale
latent moon
#

eris is one of the top aspects to invest in so you could do that if you like rail

#

with bow, hera or zag is great

grand fox
#

why is gun good

#

gun needs reload

#

fist no relaod

latent moon
#

gun has range and better room clearance

rustic vale
hollow urchin
latent moon
#

also with enough practice you can learn to time reloads and reload cancel

latent moon
#

spreadfire zag:

rustic vale
#

clusterbomb and rockets goes mega hard on all aspects

latent moon
#

#

rail is the only weapon that has 4 great aspects

rustic vale
#

Spreadfire zag rail goes mega hard on zagreus rail where extra ammo

rustic vale
latent moon
#

true

hollow urchin

i ran out of bloodstuff and havent been able to purchase any of the hidden aspects

and its skellies fault >:C

rustic vale
#

Good attack speed, good damage, good existing 👍

hollow urchin
#

"waste 5 blood on your sword for me uwu"

sure thing skelly!

latent moon
#

rail has the fastest one weapon only speedrun by 4 minutes (rta) so that's like a whole region that's not styx lmao

grand fox
#

so this is about speedruns

latent moon
#

not really

rustic vale
#

Not really

#

It’s just showing that

#

They are gud

reef glen
#

so you play eres as meele?

latent moon
#

it just shows that every aspect of rail is good
even so, speedruns showcase how good a weapon can be

latent moon
grand fox
#

i probably should not delve into hades meta

rustic vale
grand fox
#

I'm gonna get my head blown off for heresy

rustic vale

Will make you better 👍

#

Will make your clears faster and more consistent if you know what you are doing

grand fox

what do meta mirrors look like

hollow urchin
rustic vale

forget weapon, that's a massive playstyle thing, what do the raw stats say

What does that even mean

#

Routine Inspection max rank

#

fear it

latent moon
#

For the most part tho, it's fiery presence, greater reflex, dark foresight, fated persuasion, cthonic vitality

#

Idk what else there is

#

Deep pockets

#

Thick skin if you're not speedrunning

#

Boiling blood

swift inlet
#

High confidence if you're not speedrunning because you read the talent name and are highly confident 💪

grand fox
#

i use the one that boosts duo boon rate

rustic vale
#

Most weapons take fiery presence, cthonic vitality, dd till you have to run lc4, greater reflex, boiling blood, infernal soul or stygian is personal preference unless using a castpect, deep pockets, thick skin unless your are confident for runing high confidience, family favourite, dark forssight, gods pride and fated persausion

lean timber
#

you want pride

grand fox
#

what

#

why

lean timber
#

you heard me

#

it's a scam

grand fox
#

i get duos every run

#

it's great

latent moon
#

I've found more duos with pride than legacy

lean timber
#

run pride and see how little that changes

rustic vale
grand fox
#

duos have fun animations

latent moon
#

You can still see them with pride

#

Maybe even more so because legacy is a scam

grand fox
#

wha

#

why is legacy a scake

#

sam

#

scam

rustic vale
#

I have seen 3 in the same screen before without it

rustic vale
grand fox
#

how is pride not a scam

rustic vale
#

pride is just more benefit

grand fox
#

legacy 4ever

lean timber
#

because it boosts your duo chance that's already pretty high so you don't need the boost. you want epic boons instead, which are harder to get without a boost

latent moon
# grand fox scam

It's not like you can't find duos if you don't take legacy, it's just that not every build actually needs it and you're still somewhat likely to get duos

rustic vale
#

Your boon rarity is more important than a very small increase in the amount of duos and legendaries you see

lean timber
#

i encourage you to try a run without legacy on and see how much better the purple feels

grand fox
#

doesn't duo also boost legendaries

lean timber
#

the purple... consumes us all...

rustic vale
#

You are still very likely to find duos without it is the thing

lean timber

If you find it it's nice but not worth using legacy over

Okay buddy

#

Imagine not having maxed aspects already

rustic vale
#

imagine not having like 30+ spare titans blood

#

Smh

lean timber
grand fox
#

I'm not spending thousands of hours on this game i already gave my soul to stellaris zagsnooze

grand fox
#

i don't have another

rustic vale
#

Or to me I accept them as a warlock patron

Imagine spending hours to max aspects

lean timber

latent moon
#

Maybe take the advice of people better than you and maybe you'll improve lmao

grand fox
#

I've gotten like 4 actually complete runs total

grand fox
#

i need advice like "force as many chaos gates as possible"

latent moon
#

I mean I would do that

grand fox
#

I'm not sure how or i would every run

latent moon
#

Only time I wouldn't is at high heat

latent moon
grand fox
#

every time i take egg, i get no chaos gates til elysium

rustic vale
vital tapir
#

egg doesn’t affect gates i believe

grand fox
#

and every time i do something not egg i get 5 in a row in tart

latent moon
#

Yeah egg doesn't force chaos

rustic vale
grand fox
#

it's really annoying

rustic vale
#

Doesn’t force one though

vital tapir
#

well true

latent moon
#

Just take all of them

grand fox
#

is chaos boons actually good

vital tapir
#

depends

rustic vale
latent moon
#

I'd kill to get at least 3 chaos gates on tart

latent moon
rustic vale
#

I’d kill for a chaos gate

lean timber
#

Each Encounter Chamber will have a Chaos Gate. Receive 1 Chug Jug now.

latent moon
#

Free room and free buff depending what it is

rustic vale
#

I’d kill matty for a chaos gate

lean timber
#

approved

grand fox
lean timber
#

you have to wr tho or i come back to haunt you

#

Only if you’re bad

grand fox

#

Now it’s time for super soaker 2 zag bow boogaloo

lean timber
#

it's 24 hp max

#

you're fine

short glen
rustic vale
#

If no flurry fire in tart I’m giving up the run for hera because super soaker hera with pos attack and pos cast sounds funnier

twilit lodge
#

Why revive at 30% Hp when you can revive at 100% Hp 📈

short glen
#

lkdsfkjsdf

#

tfw revive 4 times in one battle at 100% hp

#

stonks 🧠 🧠 🧠 🧠

vital tapir
#

imagine touch of styx being completely useless

latent moon
#

I just realized that touch of Styx makes your well rng worse because it's always an option to be bought unlike kiss of Styx

rustic vale
latent moon
#

Based

rustic vale
#

Chain shot explosive shot and sniper shot are all

#

Not fun

#

Instead of tempest strike zag bow now it’s going to be tempest strike tidal shot hera

lean timber
rustic vale
#

Is first hammer seeded if it’s in asphodel

#

Like will it be the same

lean timber
#

not unless you play exactly the same up to that point

#

any change in rng will change it

rustic vale
#

Oh

#

First hammer in tart

#

Bad options though

#

No flurry

lean timber
#

if hammer is c1 or c2 just kill yourself, rng probably won't fix it

hollow urchin
#

whats c1 and c2 mean?

latent moon
#

Chamber 1 chamber 2

hollow urchin
#

ah i usuall get a hammer c5 or so or randomly c1

rustic vale
#

I won’t

lean timber
#

have fun being stuck with your garbage hammers lol

#

maybe you can get a hammer c33 or something

hollow urchin
#

ill probably start a suicide spree soon just to unlock more of the god quests

apparently i need the stupid god trinket and meet the god many many times to unlock future god dialogue

rustic vale
lean timber
#

i think dad should drop a hammer

rustic vale
#

C(peresphones house) hammer

hollow urchin
#

its hilarious that you get Aphrodite poster in your room

#

and the narrator is all "hopefully this gives Zagreus a positive boost to his moral" but with a very disappointed tone

#

for the achievement that is like "take 0 damage for 30 rooms with the than trinket" whats the best weapon for that?

#

i feel like its the gun

latent moon
#

hestia

#

specifically

latent moon
#

1%, 1.5%, 2%

hollow urchin
#

mines at max because i forgot to take it off

latent moon
#

so 15 encounters

hollow urchin
#

took damage in every room so i never heard it do the ping

latent moon
#

based

#

hestia rail should be easy if you take your time

#

assuming hestia is at a good level

hollow urchin
#

level 0 ._.

#

havent gotten much blood :c

#

so max out hestia and spam reloads to oneshot a ton of early game enemies from range

latent moon
#

i'd say lvl 3 hesty is good enough if you want it asap

#

but pretty much yeah

hollow urchin
#

nah not a priority

#

just was curious about it

latent moon
#

aphrodite atk since she has largest modifier

#

chaos you want dstrike and atk bonuses

#

although special buff isn't bad either

hollow urchin
#

unrelated but Artermis is best girl

latent moon
#

make sure to use fiery presence, and since you dont want to get hit i'd use high confidence too

#

and with fiery presence you can get first atk bonus from chaos

latent moon
hollow urchin
#

her nerdy bashful fluttery tone when i gift her the goo is cute

lean timber
#

the goo???? whar???

hollow urchin
#

yellow goo

#

i dunno the name

lean timber
#

nectar.

hollow urchin
#

ye

lean timber
hollow urchin
#

a cute quote she had was "oh the other day i was frolicking and i yelled your name to all of my friends is that weird?"

latent moon
#

i dont remember seeing that one

hollow urchin
#

its not on the wiki which annoys me

latent moon
#

lmao

grand fox
#

is there a modding community for this game

hollow urchin
#

she mentions her frolicking's among her satyr friends or something

grand fox
#

h u h

latent moon
#

wdym "h u h"

#

are you surprised it exists

hollow urchin
#

checked nexusmods and 99% of the mods were lame "infinite damage items godmode easy unlocks" and other lame things

hope that mod discord has better things

latent moon
#

there's a mod that fuses all aspects of a weapon, the previews look pretty sick

#

also the speedrunning mod ofc

#

idk what else there is tho

hard viper
#

the more i play the more I've come to realize I enjoy just about every weapon

#

except the bow that's still ass no matter what lol;

#

but ones like the shield and gun which I couldn't use well at the beginning I've come to seriously enjoy playing

latent moon
#

it's 33% faster than the standing charge

warm nimbus
#

zyru is working on a content mod rn tho and it looks pretty cool so far

lean timber
#

hey guys! did you know that with epic swift strike, standing bow shots become within two frames of the time of a dash strike, which means almost nothing in terms of timing? "dash strike" away!

#

this fact brought to you by rama gang™️

warm nimbus
#

hey mattyboi (loser arc)! did you know that standing strikes make you get hit? please just dash strike.
this fact brought to you by the dont get hit and positioning = damage gangs

latent moon
#

hey mattyboi (loser arc)! did you now that gods' pride is a scam and you're never gonna get epic swift strike?

latent moon
hard viper
#

One time I got this thing where I gained hp whenever I hit something with the sword. Never come across it since but it was OP

latent moon
#

cursed slash moment

hard viper
#

yeah i think that is what it was called

latent moon
#

you also lose 60% of your hp lmao

hard viper
warm nimbus
#

its also adding bill gates as a god which is an interesting design choice

hard viper
#

and cerberus thing

latent moon
#

i would love to see bill gates in this game

warm nimbus
#

i wish it wasnt

#

thatd be hilarious

latent moon
#

damn

#

time to go to #mod-request

warm nimbus
#

lmaoo

hard viper
#

Idk if I am getting better at the game or just getting better buffs, but over the last few days I've gone from needing to use 1 revive on meg/first boss to being able to beat it without taking damage most of the time

twilit lodge

Lost my streak despite lv10 heroic crystal beam with CC

#

Oops

latent moon
#

it do be like that

#

On Achilles

#

I blame no chaos cast buffs

hard viper
# warm nimbus its both

makes sense. I'm way more cautious when fighting but I also know which boons are actually good now which makes a difference

#

The biggest obstacle to making progress in my runs is irl responsibilities

latent moon
#

lmfao it do be like that

#

simply avoid them

#

play hades

#

there is no escape

twilit lodge
#

Play on switch

#

Sleep mode at a moments notice

hard viper
#

fr though, I've played roguelikes before but this one feels much better than some others

twilit lodge
#

SGG make good game 👍 📈

hard viper
#

My favorite before playing this was Streets of Rogue. Def a good game but feels way more rng dependent compared to Hades instead of skill based, not to mention how good the graphics are

#

def gonna be playing this for a while

#

Are there any interesting places to explore that aren't obvious to check? I feel like I've searched everywhere there is to search in the main area

latent moon
#

hades' room, records room, lounge, garden, and the halls

#

not much else

hard viper
latent moon
#

play the game more lol

#

actually the answer to that is to reach the credits

#

both of them

hard viper
#

lol I haven't even reached the 4th area yet

latent moon
#

ah welp

hard viper
#

I'm not a god at this game but I do enjoy it a lot

latent moon
#

you'll get there eventually

hard viper
lean timber
#

you can't just save and quit??

hard viper
#

that's a thing?

lean timber
#

why would you kill yourself

latent moon
#

finish the room and then hit quit

lean timber
#

bruh...

latent moon
#

if taht doesn't work then get your reward then quit

lean timber
#

how do you fools not know about the pause menu you've gotta be trolling

twilit lodge
#

Suicide prevention hotline tech discovered

lean timber
#

just clear the room or pause as soon as you enter and save your progress

#

bananas can you believe this. they don't know how to save their game

#

i will go RESETTI on you all

#

SAVE YOUR GAME

latent moon
#

isn't there a thing that says "this icon shows when your game saves" or something

twilit lodge

Give the guy a break on god

Does anyone happen to know what instrument Darren uses for the main riff in Out of Tartarus starting at 0'16"?

#

Also, curious if anyone else has analysed the metre(s) used in Out of Tartarus. Main riff sounds like 15/8 (2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3) + 3/4 (2, 2, 2)

raw herald
compact dawn
buoyant harbor
#

Now I'm gonna take a listen too. That sounds interesting!

#

never listened quite that closely

compact dawn
#

The electric guitars coming in at 2:59

buoyant harbor
#

So the main riff sounds like 11/8 (2, 2, 2, 2, 3) to me tbh.

#

No wait that doesn't line up

#

It sounds like 11/8, but the 9 comes in just slightly early.

#

Okay yeah splitting the groups in 3s instead of 2s, it comes out to 15/8 + 3/4 as well.

#

So essentially a 21/8?

#

Actually no splitting it in two meters makes more sense, bc then at the end of the riff it's one more 15/8 instead of 3/4.

compact dawn
#

But I feel like 15/8 + 3/4 is easier on the eyes

buoyant harbor
#

And after that there's a short section of 12/8 meter (from 1:05 to 1:17) before returning to 15/8.

#

And another section in regular 4/4 after that..

#

The meter changes quite often it seems.

compact dawn
#

I'm not really hearing the 12/8 in that section with a cursory listen

#

I assume you're thinking 12/8 (3,3,3,3)?

buoyant harbor
#

Either 12/8 or 4/4.

#

Yes.

compact dawn
#

I'm just not feeling the triplet groupings of a 12/8 but I could be wrong

buoyant harbor
#

After grouping the main beats in 3s in the section before that, it feels hard to hear them in 2s again.

#

But it could just be a regular 4/4.

compact dawn
#

Hmm, I reckon it all comes down to what ends up looking most intuitive on the page

#

Currently transcribing it all because this is one of my favourite tracks off the OST

#

Also, Darren often switches between 3/4 and 6/8 for the bars that intervene the 15/8

buoyant harbor
#

Okay I tried to split it again and I think I hear (3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2) in the aforementioned mid-section.

#

So basically a more rhythmically interesting 8/8 if you wanna write it in 16ths.

raw herald
#

It’s a great track

compact dawn
#

I wonder what music Darren listens to a lot

buoyant harbor
#

Yeah I can see that as well.

#

I hear 3/3/2 splits quite often bc that's my default strumming pattern, so maybe that's why my brain went there. '^^

compact dawn
#

That's a super common rhythmic grouping plus it's like the default for 8/8 generally so that makes sense

#

In latin american music, they call it tresillo rhythm but think of it in duple time

#

can you play hades without a mouse?

#

can i play it with just keyboards

Yeah you can

#

There are some kb only players

#

Its like clunky controller

compact dawn
#

Has anyone here cleared an escape attempt (w/o God Mode) without taking damage? I know UnholyPancake has

#

I'm strongly considering trying for it

rustic vale
#

you’re still going for hitless either way

#

The damage reduction won’t matter

formal sinew
#

Ah ok

#

So how would you manage hitless

terse geyser
#

you can dodge most of the time, right?

#

so the idea of this challenge is to put forth the extra effort and dodge EVERY time.

formal sinew
#

Yeah I suppose. I can do all of them hitless except hades

rich gulch
#

Hades himself is a cakewalk. Rats on the other hand...

swift inlet
#

What would be the optimal build for that anyway? smair athena call shield?

#

smair ddash shield ez

raw herald
#

For Hitless, deflect and dodge aren’t allowed

#

Or block

#

An ideal build would be rod with all the Zeus and RD and styx shredder

#

Basically how you build Rama but probably on hestia instead

swift inlet
#

lmao

#

Unfortunate

swift inlet
#

Ig you could get clockets hestia

raw herald
#

Unsafe

compact dawn
# formal sinew Question. Can you do it with acorn or no

No. There are actually very specific rules for hitless/no damage runs if you want to submit your run to Team Hitless' website. If I remember correctly Athena deflect boons are forbidden and you can't use Calls like Ares' that make you invincible while they're in use
