you can only get flares on beo
hera trippy flare gaming
twilit lodge
Is trippy the only flare that Hera gets?
twilit lodge
Does that mean mirage shot is bugged for trippy Hera?
Never quite understood what is and isnāt affected by mirage bug
latent moon
yeah it should be bugged
twilit lodge
Is it beo specific or flare specific

if the only boon from a god is a duo, is that god still in your pool? i'd assume it is but i want to fact check

Is c1 flurry a good start for hera
latent moon
Flurry is technically Hera's best hammer but it's difficult to get used to
high island
I don't think it's very difficult tbh, it's pretty straightforward at least on pad.
I prefer Twin start usually tbh if it's c1, but either one is good.

i thought maybe it would have some saving grace in hammer upgrades
rustic vale
It doesnāt 
I wouldnāt recommend playing into aspect of chaosā special
Literally yes
Itās basically aspectless shield
Imagine leveling up fated authority just use the darkness on resource director instead, itās way more value
Nope itās just end the run w/out olympian boons iirc
So you can pick up chaos blessings
And you can pick up boons so long as you sell them before dad fight iirc
I think itās no hermes yeah

You still can keep olympian boons if they arent to be sold too

Is gods pride or legacy better
latent moon
pride 99% of the time
twilit lodge
Legacy because mirage op

that's literally only for beo lmao
the only other case where legacy is better is for a full meme beam build
twilit lodge
Legacy but it guarantees a duo or legendary will show up if open

Get special dialogue if you roll up to hades w/ no olympian boons

Is gods pride or legacy better
Pride unless you want like at least 4 duos for your build

Pride unless you want like at least 4 duos for your build

maybe ill just play speed instead after i get a decent heat on all weapons
latent moon
that's also true lmao
rustic vale
I have a lot of anti-legacy propaganda photos
hardy spear
i only run legacy when my build needs duos to actually work like mirage shot, merciful end or hunting blades
rustic vale
Even then Iād still run pride
I should start legit darkness farming for mr resource director
Perhaps legit run legacy to hunt for exclusive access to guarantee purple eclipses 
latent moon

Yup then get a bunch of purple eclipses from chaos

Aphro attack
Demeter special
Poseidon cast
I donāt plan on beating final boss just third boss
rustic vale
That isnāt a build tbh
Thats just random crap thrown together
barren nymph
Im pretty new just got my first clear yesterday with a very mediocre set of boons
Aphro weakens demeter freezes and Poseidon knocks back seems pretty good to me
Idk what else I do
Maybe Dionysus special
latent moon
you're putting a % modifier on arrows that deal base 10 damage
the only instance of this working is if you have artemis special with aphrodite atk for heart rend
rustic vale
Artemis special is like the exception
latent moon
yes
literally because heart rend conc volley is actually strong
not to mention you can get more % damage off of chaos or wells
rustic vale
and you practically need concentrated volley for arte flourish chiron
latent moon
yeah
barren nymph
So instead of demeter special Artemis
barren nymph
Imma show you my ābuildā ideas so far
Most of these were from Reddit of self experience
rustic vale
Most of these were from Reddit of self experience
Donāt go to reddit for hades advice
Or gaming journals for that matter
barren nymph
If you could suggest builds Id gladly use them
Especially for the aspects Iām using
rustic vale
Why are you using chaos?
latent moon
eris rail is fine
chiron bow just fix the dem special to what we just said, and tdash is gonna be better than flood shot there
chaos shield is pretty bad, but if you wont to build around the special you're better off using aphrodite for the atk than zeus
nem is fine
achilles, curse of drowning is unironically one of the worst duos in the game. use hunting blades instead
talos, either ME or zeus/dio on atk
rustic vale
Is like practically aspectless
barren nymph
Because its cheap and I saw it on a good tierlist
twilit lodge
absolutely chaos

twilit lodge
Unleveled zag sword or bust
rustic vale
Chaos is only A tier at level 5 because itās a shieldā¦ I think?
twilit lodge
absolutely chaos. chaos is by far the best shield aspect and dont let anyone tell you otherwise. chaos has no downsides, while zeus does have a downside, and its that your special moves slower. being able to actually deal damage with your special is completely irrelevant if its slow and impossible to use, but having more specials is clearly better. what even is a "blitz disc" anyway? what a terrible name. "bonus shields" is the stuff im after. just think how much cooler it is to be able to throw 6 shields at once like captain america compared to just lazily sliding your shield along the ground. and dont even get me started on the design of the shields. the aspect of chaos' design on the shield is clearly surperior, because it is one big eye, while zeus has two small eyes. who doesnt like big eyes? not me! and also, chaos (the character) is just objectively cooler and more egg than zeus, who is neither cool nor egg. this is why the aspect of zeus on aegis, the shield of chaos, is clearly worse than the aspect of chaos on aegis, the shield of chaos. i mean, the aspect is even named after the original owner of the shield! it clearly gets bonus points for that. beowulf is even worse. its way too slow and doesnt deal any damage whatsoever. i tested the dps of beowulf vs chaos shield on skelly and determined that chaos shield was actually way faster and was clearly easier to use. and realistically, the size of beowulfs cast makes it almost impossible to use. its so small that youd never see any real use of it. chaos shield on the other hand is so versatile with its shield throwing ability that goes much farther. the special on beowulf is absolute trash in comparison, and thats something you should really consider when choosing which aspect is better. the best cast, normally (slicing shot) is somehow terrible on beo and i dont even want to try any of the other casts for fear of how bad they are. zagreus is just boring. who thought adding more damage would be more fun?

Why does West Hall not have the mark above it in the house contrator in my game when there's nothing available left to buy for it?

All I have left to buy are the menu themes and 1 last song
That's it
Any other guesses?
quiet lily
I thought the chibi emblems didn't do anything?
old belfry
theres a whole furniture set that I think needs max hearts or mostly max with than
that goes in west hall
quiet lily
I got enough hearts with him and Dusa to get their cthonic companions, but I'm not going to romance them.
old belfry
yeah, you'll need 4 ambrosia to than to unlock his whole set
twilit lodge
Guess youāre not gonna get all the west hall furniture then
quiet lily
So to get everything, you need to romance all 3 of the "romanceable" npcs?
twilit lodge
Thereās a bond that requires you to max the bond with all 3 romance npcs
But if youāre not interested in the bonds/chibis you can ignore that i suppose
old belfry
all the other furniture that needs bond is only from nectars, only thans requires any ambrosia to even unlock the option to purchase, looks like
but yeah to complete west hall you will need 10 heart thanatos
rustic vale
Why does West Hall not have the mark above it in the house contrator in my game ...
You have to buy some specific stuff in the other tabs to unlock some things in west hall

magic fern
true, I should just git gud
lean timber
tbh
high island
When they added the main head variants originally, the summoner variant didn't have a cap on how many Bloodless could be on the field at a time.
So if your DPS was too low, you'd just get overwhelmed because bloodless would spawn faster than you could kill.
That was fun.
twilit lodge
Sounds like my first fight against the butterfly ball
lean timber
i don't think there should be a cap tbh
buoyant harbor
I'm always annoyed by the lava head. There is already little room to stand in the EM2 fight, and the lava doesn't make it easier.
latent moon
trans lernie head slams also cover like 1/3 of the available area and then the falling debris covers another 1/3 lol
And also can't be hit while in the air for the head slam
buoyant harbor
Okay yeah that's worse.
lean timber
lava is by far the easiest head, then summons, then wave makers, then trans lernie
buoyant harbor
A combo of lava and Slam on the smaller heads is what gets me. Or lava small heads with a trans Learnie.
latent moon
oh yeah that sucks
buoyant harbor
Also, why are we calling this head in particular trans? š¤
buoyant harbor
I see.

I mean yeah it's a similar light blue to the trans flag. I can accept that.

Keratin bleaches with exposure to the elements right? Maybe the unique colourations of the hydra head are due to noxious gases and other debris in the Phlegethon staining them-

In all fairness Matt, Rick barely described a lot of the fantastical elements in his series (the Kane Chronicles was the best in his multiverse in my opinion) - you don't really get a gauge for how dangerous a lot of these entities are, to say nothing of the gods. I'd know how loosely written it is considering I waste my time rewriting Heroes of Olympus lore for obscure AU fics that no one asked for.

depending on the aspect you can take dc1 or dc2

if you trust yourself on rama it can work

Also (I might be a bit biased) but what I like with Rick's work is that he chiefly set out to make kids with mental impairments feel like heroes in their own stories as well as giving a very workable introduction to mythology for millions of kids around the world. In that regard, I respect him more than JK and that's disregarding her views on trans individuals.

isn't there an actual death dialogue saying he choked
lean timber
no i don't think so
pit of spears, fell of a cliff, vipers, just waiting around, goat, but no choking i don't think
latent moon
banana death
rich gulch
Though seemingly futile, the Prince adds yet another victory to his belt using nothing more than a simple pomegranate found in his mother's basket. The taste is made all the more bittersweet when he fails to avoid a breathtaking demise upon ceremoniously devouring the very same legendary weapon that could defeat a god.
acoustic bolt
oh man i just got sea storm on a talos run that's relaly just aspect of tdash
i have hyper already but not a second hermes boon
do i take chaos or eurydice
lean timber
taking tdash makes your weapon aspect of tdash
that is a loaded question, need context
lean timber
i disagree if you play well chaos curses have no effect on your run
lean timber
if you're doing 40 you're decently skilled
acoustic bolt
it's still the third eury option even if i already have sea storm right
lean timber
yeah
latent moon
yes because no 2nd hermes yet
rich gulch
i disagree if you play well chaos curses have no effect on your run
that feeling when you're running a specific attack build and the chaos book you need hits you for 4 points for that exact attack.
acoustic bolt
if you're doing 40 you're decently skilled
ok yeah but i'm no where near where i should be. i'm not going higher than 40 it's already too painful
latent moon
if you're doing 40 you're decently skilled
also it's his first time doing 40, and it's ap1
it's way too risky rn
lean timber
nahhhh ur fine. here let me find my 40 pact, it was really good
latent moon
and his goal is clearing heat, not going for like time or anything
dont really need a chaos buff to clear 40 tbh
what weapon btw
acoustic bolt
talos
latent moon
oh dear god yeah i'd take eury lmao
latent moon
ngl dem would've still been the right play
latent moon
charged special gives you added dps
lean timber
lol
latent moon
the casts you might end up with still require an extra input, and talos special is sticky
lean timber
mmm stick
acoustic bolt
sticky as in you use it and you can't really move for a second?
rich gulch
the only good fist
Gilgamesh turns you into a hairy monster of destruction.
lean timber
sticky as in you are stuck in place as if hit by a petrifying shot from a gorgon
latent moon
charged upper does such a large amount of damage that it's better to just use that
lean timber
exploding upper is the best dem fist iirc but charge shot special is also fantastic
latent moon
legitimately, if you get stuck with a bad build, charged upper can carry a good chunk of it
latent moon

lean timber
you know me so well

rich gulch
Intimately, it seems.
acoustic bolt
true enough
high island
Breaching Cross best.
acoustic bolt
Intimately, it seems.
yeah there's a weekly mixer+pansexual orgy
don't you know what game we're playing?
high island
Err... Keep it clean.
rich gulch
As a pansexual, I do like my pans clean indeed.
latent moon
lmfao
acoustic bolt
ROFL
lean timber
now tell me this, why would breaching be any good if long knuckle exists? get your 12 strikes from a distance, then dash up and blow them to hell. don't need to break armor when your special does it for yo7
acoustic bolt
anything that can take 1 second is better if it takes 3 seconds. obviously.
high island
Un-nerf Breaching Cross. Give me +1000% back.
lean timber
what's an extra 100% gonna do on a 40 damage hit. lol
high island
It makes no difference, no.
acoustic bolt
only if you think about it
latent moon
"hm 1000 makes the text look too long. bring it down to 900"
lean timber
"this doesn't fit in the box on the mandarin translation"
acoustic bolt
it's not like your eyes see 1100. but they do see 1000. therefore, 1000 is better even if the code reads a yucky number
latent moon
lmfao
acoustic bolt
that makes more sense than any other possible reason
rich gulch
Too many numbers triggers my dyscalculia.
high island
Breaching Cross changed to +1000% damage, but it's binary now.
acoustic bolt
Too many numbers triggers my dyscalculia.
you may be playing the wrong game
latent moon
just dont look at the numbers when choosing boons. let ap2 decide for you
high island
Too many numbers triggers my dyscalculia.
Just take the pink boons.
rich gulch
Don't worry, I'm used to it. My schizophrenia is much worse by comparison-
high island
That's what I do.
latent moon
Don't worry, I'm used to it. My schizophrenia is much worse by comparison-
have your buddies pick the boons for you
rich gulch
Just take the pink boons.
And nice try there, I see what you're doing.
rich gulch
have your buddies pick the boons for you
They do tell me to do some silly things to be honest.
high island
Mental disorders are not a punchline for a joke, though.
rich gulch
True, my apologies. It's in poor taste, even if I'm diagnosed.
lean timber
if it's yours and you think it's okay, who cares?
latent moon
yea my bad
rich gulch
You know, about raising numbers, I'd like to play a run with Hazard Bomb where it does +1000% damage but getting struck removes 100 health.
lean timber

That should be very easy to mod. Ask for help in the modding discord if you want to do that.
rich gulch
would hard labor affect this
Yes. And huh, maybe I shall one day. Thanks Hellenes-
latent moon
imagine critting yourself for 600 damage on HL
high island
I am not a guy. 
rich gulch
Ah yes.
You know, the game is missing a flamethrower - you could have a nifty Aspect of Hephaestus with it too.
lean timber
pyro tf2
twilit lodge
True we have super soaker
We need flamethrower
Hephaestus dlc when??!
I guess Hestia would be fire
acoustic bolt
I guess Hestia would be fire
check out the mod discord. hestia was already added with olympusExtra
Apollo too
Hephaestus is on the list
twilit lodge
Alexa how do I install mods on my switch
acoustic bolt
you crack it
twilit lodge
Ok I broke it now what
acoustic bolt
find a goat and sacrifice it
acoustic bolt
honestly i have no idea how jailbreaking the switch works, but i know thats how you mod hades on it
@rustic vale might know
twilit lodge
acoustic bolt
either way that's the only way you're getting hestia as a god. supergiant isn't adding anything
if i was playing hades on the switch i think i'd still be inclined to just buy it on the computer too for mods anyway. assuming i had the money i mean.
acoustic bolt
well next time you're inclined to buy like a ps5 or whatever, just build a budget tower. even like a low end PC will play most of the games worth playing that exist.
and then upgrade it on the next console purchase. it's worth the investment.
twilit lodge
I donāt always have a cursed seed but when I do you know itās got a dad monologue at the start
acoustic bolt
so when trying to speedrun what are the common heat settings?
i know there's a 40 heat leaderboard, but i'm not sure what others are popular
is anyheat basically just EM2, FO2 and nothing else?
twilit lodge
Seems that way
acoustic bolt
without hard labor and EM3 you can almost just face tank the game
lean timber
is anyheat basically just EM2, FO2 and nothing else?
yeah
twilit lodge
TIL you can trigger Pstatus with Artemis
acoustic bolt
with only artemis?
acoustic bolt
i mean there's hunter's mark but i wasn't sure if i was forgetting another thing
twilit lodge
Hilariously
acoustic bolt
jolt also works
twilit lodge
And then it goes away after one hit
high island
is anyheat basically just EM2, FO2 and nothing else?
Yes. Some aspects, you might go FO1 instead.
twilit lodge
Tfw you take hourglass and never see a well
high island
Add TD if you're doing RTA.
acoustic bolt
Yes. Some aspects, you might go FO1 instead.
which ones and why?
vital tapir
my dumb ass trying to figure out why reload wonāt work when i donāt have it bound to a button
twilit lodge
Moment
buoyant harbor
Every god can give you a status curse, but Hunter's Mark is probably the most unreliable way of triggering PStat. xD
high island
Don't take Privileged Status, problem solved.
twilit lodge
Aw
buoyant harbor
Some builds just make sense with PStat. Like Chiron hangover for example.
twilit lodge
Pure Aphrodite legendary boon Pstatus build
high island
Yes, some builds work well with Privileged Status.
acoustic bolt
does trippy shot count?
buoyant harbor
No
vital tapir
i only take pstat if iām starting with dio
high island
Each god only has one status curse.
buoyant harbor
But you want Aphrodite's or Ares' attack already with a hangover build.
vital tapir
i only take pstat if iām starting with dio
or when i forget to switch it
twilit lodge
Mfw I try to copy shackleās darkness farming build and get EA offered in c55

oh so targetting system doesn't actually wwork?
vital tapir

twilit lodge

high island
oh so targetting system doesn't actually wwork?
No.
I mean it works, but not for Privileged Status.
twilit lodge
God this seed truly is cursed
5 sack on top of everything else
And dad monologue at start
twilit lodge
vital tapir
wtf deflecting satyr attacks doesnāt trigger pstatusā¦
high island
Weak, Hangover, Chill, and Doom are t1. Jolted, Ruptured, Marked, and Exposed are t2.
high island
Get some distance between the rock and Zagreus, easier to stand in the safe area. The closer to the rock you are, the more narrow the safe area.

Any tips on how to remember to use your companion plushie?
I use ant because its a guaranteed hit, and yet I usually only use it 2-3x per run š
twilit lodge
Every time you finish a run, you have to do 5 pushups for each use of your companion left
Use it on every miniboss and dad
And hydra
And heroes
Wait thatās too many
I use meg so I use her on tart mini, asphodel mini, hydra+6 heads, heroes, dad
lean timber
tart miniboss, asphodel miniboss, elysium miniboss, heroes, dad. if you find an extra use, use it on the first styx miniboss
(i don't use it on asphodel unless it's megagorgon honestly)

Hello! I was just wondering if anyone has any play throughs you like (if you watch them, I like to have them on while I get boring tasks done) where the person ||reunites Pat and Achilles and Orpheus and Eurydice|| instead of stopping when they first reach ||Redacted or defeat him ten times?||
Or just anyone where the person is particularly into the story
tired karma
what is the best boon to use on demeter fists for special
next sphinx
Iāve read that Artemis special on Demeter fists is excellent, especially if you have the Heart Rend duo with Aphrodite to maximize critical damage
Since youāre most likely in melee range anyways, Aphrodite cast with Artemis special and then Dionysus attack would be a great combo - huge damage over time and then nuking anything thatās left
Unless youāre asking what is definitively proven as the best special for that (if anyone has done those calcs), donāt know about that
tired karma
how would I get all three of them though
at best I can guarantee only one of them
also I was thinking using ares attack instead
is dionysus better
next sphinx
Ares attack with Athena special would be incredible!
Dionysis and Ares are both good, but I suggested Dio because his duo with Aphrodite allows him to inflict hangover more times, which makes a big difference with such fast attacks
Duo boons and which gods you get are luck based, but you can control them somewhat if you use their keepsakesā¦ and later in the game there are ways you can increase your chances to get duo boons
rustic vale
Ares attack with Athena special would be incredible!
Especially when you have athena dash as well
next sphinx
another excellent contender for Demeter special would be Poseidon, since one of his upgrades is that his boons deal bonus damage to bosses and they can get other crazy modifiers too, so Artemis (with Aphrodite), Athena (with Ares), or Poseidon (with Zeus) would be my top three suggestions
rustic vale
Dionysis and Ares are both good, but I suggested Dio because his duo with Aphrod...
If you do this youād want dio attack aphro special, curse of vengeance from ares
rustic vale
another excellent contender for Demeter special would be Poseidon, since one of ...
I would put dio over poseidon
next sphinx
in that case Artemis wouldnāt be able to Super Crit on special, I was picturing Aphrodite cast
Which I usually hate because of the short range, but youāre using fists so youād be in melee range either way
rustic vale
in that case Artemis wouldnāt be able to Super Crit on special, I was picturing ...
Aphrodite has the biggest % modifier anyways
so she and artemis are kind of interchangeable on the weapons that want them
kind of
next sphinx
I disagree in this case, since Demeterās special hits multiple times Artemis is almost guaranteed crit, and with heart rend she has +150% crit damage - I think you might be underestimating the scaling on that
rustic vale
I disagree in this case, since Demeterās special hits multiple times Artemis is ...
āAlmost guaranteed to critā 79% != 100%
one special critting out of 7 isnāt that much when aphrodite is a huge boost to all their damage
But if you really wanted to
Dionysus attack, artemis special, ares curse of vengeance, aphrodite dash
would open
Splitting headache(more crit chance per hangover stack), curse of nausea(hangover ticks faster), low tolerance(more max hangover stacks against weakened foes), heart rend(+150% crit damage against weakened foes)
next sphinx
Ooh that looks fun
rustic vale
Btw the chance of at least one crit on demeter special is 79% is standing upper and 73% if dash upper
so not practically guaranteed
Youāll need +% from elsewhere
Turn on priviledged status
Hope to get rush delivery from hermes and flourishes from chaos
next sphinx
I feel like youāre being a little pedantic there, I just meant āthereās a great chanceā (and Iād still take those odds), sorry to exaggerate. I agree that Aphro special and Artemis special both have huge potential, depending on how lucky you get with everything - thanks for those calcs!
rustic vale
Would recommend dash uppering over standing up though because dash upper is 240 damage compared to standing upper 210
high island
They're both fine. Tempest Flourish is not great on Demeter, it knocks enemies out of the later hits.
high island
I would put dio over poseidon
