@buoyant harbor Oh no, it's like all the monologues of the narrator. I missed some (Charon fight). What i call 100% is buying all the things you can, complete all bonds and finish the epilogue i think
So was just thinking that 2 of the 3 romances come from nowhere. I'll complete the bond, but it's weird ^^
Fyi i think some stuff cost 30 k darkness to buy
25k for one house contractor thing, and then many thousands of darkness for the ranks (post game)
Yeah
I know, I'm farming the former atm xD
Im guessing its picking dark thirst conch shell and then going for chaos?
With bouldy
With that if u get rly lucky you might be able to get 1k darkness
I don't see where you can spend darkness. I can only spend it in the mirror
Nah I'm passively farming while doing speedruns. Never was a fan of grinding for resources.
Yeah its boring when its only for grinding
Unlocks in post game
Ive also gotten some extra darkness from speedrunning but im just throwing that into bad mirror stuff
But i think i won't do that part too. The game is really fun, but i won't keep playing only for that. Maybe i'll try to do 2nd and 3rd statues of skelly
@buoyant harbor I finished the story. I need to finish epilogue for that ?
it's in the mirror and the resource director, that's really it. sometimes you can buy 50 gemstones for 300 darkness or 3 keys for 25 darkness from the wretched broker. those are the only places to use it
There's a theme you can buy from the work orders guy too, right?
325 000 darkness for all titles
Lmao
How much darkness do you get from a 10 minute run when all the bosses drop darkness? like 500?
That'd be like 110 hours of nonstop very quick runs
a 10 minute run is probably more like 18 rta
Use chaos and poseidon for more darkness
I just realized something
And did you take back ambrosia from Dusa ?
when you think about it
I’ve gotten 1000 darkness from Hades alone one run thanks to darkness additive
lv0 zag shield is just chaos/zeus shield when you get cshot
Zeus at least can use it’s special for autonomous damage
why special when you can cshot
Why? Because you can do both
time spent using special is time lost from cshot
it being out on the field is potential extra damage
i-im joking
I’m not
i see that
I mean don’t use it if you have nothing on your special but
shield kinda meh in fun for me
Well with all what you said, i think i'll just complete side stories, taking back ambrosia from Dusa and finishing epilogue
Is it easy to farm ambrosia ? and titan blood
Wait till you realize Charged Shot is just bow attack but with block, faster charge (compared to standing bow shot), no need to charge for max damage, unblockable, always pierces, and much better base damage. 
They should have make the epilogue easier. I know most of rogue like players love doing again and again the game. But with or without the story they'll keep playing. It's not like it's a reward. I'm a bit disappointed about that
No i mean the epilogue, not the ending
i mean frankly
you can keep playing and not know about the epilogue at all, and get it accidentally
which is what is supposed to happen tbh
10 runs is okey. But farming ambrosia ect to access the ending. Even if the game is fun, i would like to finish it faster
I gave them to Dusa, but i'll prob let them to her. It's not like it's hard to farm them. Just that it's long for no real purpose.
well the issue with epilogue is dialogue rng
Yeah, i'll prob let them to her (i'm not selfish ahah). But it's more about the number of runs and the RNG. Like how to farm nectar/ambrosia ect
You still get new dialogues all the time while progressing towards the epilogue.
It's not like there's no content between ending and epilogue.
@brisk trail And you spoke about variety of builds but i have a question. Am i doing my builds badly ? It feels like the fastest build or always base on attack or assault. With all gods

More in-depth guides for the top DPS builds for different aspects here: https://www.speedrun.com/hades/guide/1i726
That's a book ^^
The video is good for learning the basics of speedrunning and getting some sense of the speedrun build meta for the fastest aspects for each weapon. Lee Reamsnyder's guide is great for getting a general sense of the meta (not just speedruns) for every aspect and some other popular builds and interesting ideas to try out, without going too deep into each. And the guide compendium is great for when you want to dive deep into any particular aspect of speedrunning and learn from some of the very best speedrunners. (And you can expect there's still a lot more fine details beyond what's in the guides there.)
Also btw getting to the epilogue isn't really RNG heavy, since like... you'll be done with or nearly done with all of the other storylines by the time you reach the epilogue anyway. RNG basically just decides the order of events before you get the epilogue but not how long it takes for all of those events to happen.
Ok, i'll check that
what exactlyt does upgrading chiron do
i dont see a difference
i get 3 specials in
then it tpots
upgrading it increase the amount of arrows
goes from 3 to 8
ah ok
reroll?
Reroll option shows up at the bottom of boon selection screen
Or if using room rerolls you press gift/call button at the door
you mean fated authority or persuasion?
only 3 per run right
It doesnt come onto its own.
But you can get more by taking key reward rooms if you have the fated keys upgrade
no? none of them cap out at 3
also you can get more from keys with a certain work order
Number 1 chiron hater 💪
ok
Idk chiron was pretty good when I used it a while back
granted I played it exactly like zag bow

Zag bow is cool
Chiron ez
zag bow is my main weapon rn
because I got told maining weapons would be better for hitting 40 heat
Rama and eris are mine
Chiron haters have napoleon complex energy
Literally 195cm
I don't hate chiron
I just acknowledge that everything else is better
19.5*
Metric doesn’t exist
Im just saying
I’m 5’9 I think?
Coincidence ≠ mutually inclusive
can confirm
i hate chiron very much and i am about 5’7
Ah
Yup Guan Yu is just as unwieldy and difficult to pull off as I remember
God I wish this aspect was better
Yea, Charon was the character I was talking about
The thing i rly hate about it is that even maxed out it fires less special shots than a standard bow
I mean if it fired as many shots as a regular bow that'd be rather strong
Nah
Given that they're all going into the same enemy's face
I don't feel like chiron is as bad as you're making it out to be
But different strokes I guess
Atleast for speed it seems rly bad
And while im still a scrub
Based of there being no rly super fast clears with it i dont think my hate is unjustified
So just because something can't be used at the highest/fastest levels, means it's objectively bad?
Indeed it does
If ur talking about how it feels to use
I suppose it's really hard for me to believe things are 'bad' when things like chaos shield and gilgamesh claws exist
Its impossible to say objectively if its good or bad
Is there a reason to let Ambrosia to Dusa except for "RP"
she has a summon
chiron is quite good for most players looking for clears, but starts to struggle quite a bit when you try to push the heat or speed
Irrc its very bad
Yeah, a lot of my friends got there first clears with it
dusa summon isn't great no
but completion and story stuff
It’s bad because it’s not as perfect as everything else
Hades is a perfect game with no flaws
Sotrue
Damn u right
Theres nothing wrong with beowulfs mechanics
Especially not mirage shot or trippy flare
Everything in hades is perfect it’s just somethings are less perfect
Trippy flare is fine because of the rng it needs to work
most likely because it was one of the last aspects added and the one that required the most fundamental changes, since it’s the only aspect that fundamentally changes all casts
but even then p much all of its bugs most ppl won’t notice unless someone specifically tells u
Yeah even tho i ran mirage shot on it before i never noticed it until ppl told me about it
There's so many damage amplifiers in the game that a normal person wouldn't bother calculating or looking at the numbers
They'll just be like "haha big number"
Yeah
That’s how for the longest time I figured that all damage was multiplicative
If your goal is just 40 and not 40 with a specific weapon or aspect, then focus on practicing with whatever aspect you think is best for the job for you.
If you think that's Zag Bow, then use that. If you want to get to the point where you can do 40 consistently with it, then just keep doing attempts regardless of how good the run is going. If you want to do 40 asap with it, then reset for a good build out of Tartarus with Twin Shot or Triple Shot, good Attack, and at least 1x Strike or Lunge from Master Chaos or a great Dash, something like that.
Zag Bow with low damage is much harder than when you're killing everything in 1-2 shots and can quickly phase bosses.
Consistency means you need to be able to clear with the aspect at its worst. Just clearing means you can just reset to play with the aspect at its best.
With it at it’s worst huh
I will admit not having twin or triple is quite crippling for zag bow
Zag Bow consistency is kind of mid since bad hammers will be bad.
Hera seems like it’d be consistent enough once I remap cast then
DPS can still be enough, though. And having range is good.
Nah, Hera isn't good at 40+.
What is consistent at 40+?
Anything if you have the skill.
True but I also haven’t got enough skill to be consistent with everything
Hestia, Rama, Beowulf, Zeus, Eris... All of the top tier high heat aspects are also very consistent.
B e o w u l f
Eris you get Lightning Strike + Tidal Dash and from there you already have so many ways to scale your damage... Beowulf, you only need Passion Flare + Snow Burst or Frost Strike (can also still go for Flood Shot and Mirage). And the others you could basically just use Shackle and your build is done.
Not that I recommend Shackle start, but you just need like 1-2 boons and you're already fine with DPS because the base is so strong.
Big difference between Beowulf and Hera for high heat is Beowulf casts still drop right away even when you don't one-shot an enemy. Hera suffers a lot more when you're not one-shotting enemies.
Also block gud.
shackle hera:
Makes sense
Where's your shackle Hera 40
Hera buff: if the initial hit doesn't kill the enemy, the cast damage keeps proccing on them until they die
Fair and balanced
If you want a similar approach to Zag Bow but easier... Hestia loses piercing but otherwise has basically the same range but the shots are instant and you can move more freely... and way better single-target damage.
Alternatively, take any shield that you like and reset for Charged Shot and you have a better Zag Bow that can block while charging, doesn't need to charge for max damage, can't be blocked... 
Doesn't scale with Dash-Strike damage is the one downside compared to Zag Bow.
Basically curse of longing
Hera speedrun buff: Croven takes your controller.
coward
sorry i would rather not spend three minutes in every biome chasing casts
Matty actually bad at hera?
Firing your bloodstones into the void with Hera is like missing your power shot timing with Zag Bow.
Takes practice to be consistent, but ultimately it's an avoidable error.
so let me get this straight
mirage shot doesnt shoot out another cast that deals 30%, but a duplicate of ur original cast (so 100%)
?
it only deals 100% with beowulf
Only on beowulf
On every other weapon it works as it says it does
oh ok
idk if it's an exact duplicate of the flare for beo, since i can't tell the size of the mirage flare but that bug only works on flares
i mean it is coded to be just another cast, but at .3x power, right? is the size something that ever changes?
no clue

For Underworld Customs (sell a boon to get to next biome), do you need to do it in the area between biomes, or can you sell a boon before that and it still counts?
pretty sure it's in between biomes
Thanks
Are demeter boons bad? I dont really see any use for any of them (besides rare crop or stubborn roots)
ravenous will's good with cast aspects
they're not bad
snow burst is good for castpects
arctic blast isnt bad either if you inflict chill a lot
and it's a good % as well
I like the Call to generate the whirling blizzard thing and the Cast with the Crystal Clarity Duo boon is fun and easy peasy
she's a pretty average god tbh
none of her duos are that great or necessary unless you're doing meme beams
Yeah definitely more popular ones
so she's generally never one of those core gods you actively look for unless you're playing pstatus beo
but like, if you're playing something that doesn't need a duo and you find an epic dem atk/special boon for the appropriate core, then i'd take it
like if i'm playing zeus shield and i see epic frost strike in tartarus, i'd just take it
Yeah, that was a big lesson for me, that the rarity matters a lot. A build might want me to pick up aphrodite or artemis attack/special, but an Epic Demeter attack/special might do just fine for some builds
yeah if you need a specific god for that core then obv dont take it, but if it's just a free slot then sure why not
you wouldn't want dem atk on heart rend or low tolerance chiron bow, even if it's epic
So I understand Rush Delivery (bonus dmg from move speed) + Hyper Sprint (+100% move speed after dash) is popular. Doesn't seem like dash-strike triggers the bonus move speed though, so do people not take it for dash-strike builds/adjust to attack? Or am I just dashstriking incorrectly?
you're doing it too slow
if you dash strike and immediately go for the attack, it should hit with most weapons
things like rama may need some strategy adjustments
depending on your playstyle
Ah okay. My test was probably invalid. I was dashstriking, then trying to run around to see if it triggered the move bonus
Just doing eris
yeah that won't do anything lol
try shotgunning an enemy with rocket bomb special with rd, that will always hit and deal the 100%. it takes some getting used to. it really forces you to go fast
Since I have Delta Chamber, I am just holding down attack and periodically hitting dash like I normally would
Hmm, okay so dash-strike, then immediately special?
basically as long as the little rainbow shield is up, you are dealing your rush delivery bonus damage
Ah that's what I hsould look for
no just dash into an enemy and immediately hit special
pretend it's a dash strike
but with special
it should blow them to smithereens 👍
Okay that'll require some practice. My dash-strike method is to mash both buttons together atm
Thanks for the help!
guys, how much probable do you think is to see an Hades DLC?
0%

Its been 2 years with no teases, and supergiant never releases extra content for their games
indeed
Dunno
I don't think that's likely. They seem to always want to push their creativity in new ways.
yeah they do diffirent stuff every time
i do really like the gameplay and world they created for hades so would love a hades 2 or dlc but chances of it hapening are close to zero
Hades 2: Electric Boogaloo: Zeus
maybe they'll do one where zag goes completely beserk
they could call it hades: nuts!
or maybe one where humans wanna slay the gods because olympus messed up and you have to kill all the godslayers who invaded the underworld
Hades: Underworld Tower Defence 
But seriously doubt dlc or a sequel, SGG has other games to work on
sequel has chance but not holding my breath
as for hades i dont expect much more they are working or some kind of making of dvd or something in theire merch store but after that think even that ends
did sgg announce what they are working on next or not yet?
So what exactly do those songs do you can unlock for diamonds?
i dont think dlc is super likely or a second game, atleast right away
but the massive success of hades makes it more likely than other games theyve done
If they ever get close to bankrupt they have hades to go back to
So those music sheets is it to play in the house of hades?
Ok great was afraid i was missing out on music in runs its if its only for house
yeah i havent touched them yet
for diamonds i only got upgrades only need gate of erebus i think from that only cosmetic i got from them was harb might go for songs next and after having them all go for diamond decor
why would you not go for all the music first
fair point
maybe should just pick a nice track and decor first
orpheus you mean yes
oh no not yet
i think i have 4 i was doing upgrades was saving for gate of erebus its the last one i need
looked at hades merch that ost and cerberus plush do look tempting
If only I could use my in game currency to buy the hades merch from housing contractor

i dont think the devolopers would accept though you could try asking them
theere are also hades netodroids i just saw
are they even alive?
foolish mortals dont disrespect gods
they release new merch like every 3 months
milking the fanbase for all its got
just check #announcements
just make new game
lmao
..
guys
anyone here
srs quesion
how to use keys if u unlocked the mirror AND the weapons
other then exchaning them for nectar?
exchanging yeah
and reseting the mirror
and late game picking them up can give u benfits mid run
resetting???
explain pls
uh so
ur last mirror unlock
were u can alter room rewards or boon options by rerolling them
keys give u a extra reroll
1 for every weapon maybe
every SINGLE 1?
which point out what gods are the best
no some aspects are bad enough there arent guides
ex?
???
how to reroll
like the dice
are those the things you do from keys
and if so how??
you need to have the bottom mirror unlocked
and for fated persiuan
fated authority sucks
and then buy the key upgrade from the house contracter
any guide on yt
cuz i dont really get most of this stuff
been a while since i played
also why does demeter appear so late
some of the guides are videos
because she doesn't know you exist until you reach the surface
probably merciful end, although not every aspect can use it well
every melee build basically uses ME for top level speedruns
mirage shot is broken on beowulf so that's neat
like actually get a win or get to hades
get to hades
it barely appears
it has the same appearance rate as other duos 
you just need a lot to go with it
mainly divine dash
but you also need impending doom
imo its mirage shot
beo was already a top tier aspect before the mirage shot bug was discovered
top 4 right?
yeah
it still probably would be there even if the mirage bug wasn't discovered tho
pstatus passion flare does a lot of damage
Brilliant Reposte wrecks the projectile Lernies so, so hard
Cshot is busted either way
i think its crovens current time rn
oh sorry
i want to know about beo
damn
It was the first unmodded beo sub6
yeah mirage doesn't make beo good, beo is just already busted lmao
mirage just makes beo literally broken
butterflys are so annoying
i forgot how annoying they were until the rama run i just did
true
VISIBLE
i like them more than normal esylum enemies
they are visible
it's pretty easy with companions yeah
first time getting to elysium
i dont remember what it's like to not have a companion against big butterfly ball
I always forget about my companion when I'm fighting Charon
Finally unlocked Meg’s favor on hell mode, slightly less suffering now
based
Now sub3 on hellmode
true
Subhell submode
subsub hellmode
Aspect of Subbingus
aspect of subway, eat fresh
lmao based
Any tips on getting Chaos to show up multiple times in a run other than spending rerolls on wells?
Trying to get his legendary, and no luck on even seeing him a 2nd time yet
Would rather keep at least 3 reroll charges for his 2nd time if possible
Reset as in die?
yes
make sure you're running legacy
I'd rather keep my run record accurate, so I'll just wait
It almost feels like to me that Ixions show up in wells more often if you've not already been to Chaos that run
Question about High Voltage. Does the AoE it talks about refer to the AoE damage range of an individual bolt, or the area within that bolts can target after a trigger?
Oh man, Hera + Greater Recall + Flurry Shot
*their
Too bad I don't have Athena call just so I can sit there and shoot nukes constantly for 10 seconds
AoE of bolts
Okay, thanks
If you have it you can see the bolts get bigger
I am regretting not feeding Orpheus full of nectar earlier in the game
Now that I've advanced the Eurydice subquest as far as I have, he's singing 70% of the time he's present and I can't gift him
Can you get to 0 dash length by stacking stuff like dash length down boons and chaos penalties?
Bro i cant gift meg nectar it nevers gives me the option
Maybe I should take off Dark Foresight so I get more key rooms
that’s a bruh moment
Just get keys by using gemstones you get from clearing your runs
That won't help me get rerolls
Getting more boons is like rerolling… but you don’t lose the 3 options
what are you dojng
Trying to get Chaos's legendary for the prophecy
Check wells for light of ixion; the only prereq for chaos legendary is to already have a chaos boon, so you just want to see them several times in one run
Well, you just gotta keep at it
chaos legendary do be like that
remembering that time when i got 2 in one run and still failed
Running with God's Legacy and Chaos Egg after Tartarus, so hopefully I can find it if I can just get a 2nd chaos in 1 run
e g g
i disagree
Welp, got 2nd chaos, but 2 rerolls and nothing
I wonder if there's any combination of Pushback and Movement speed down boons that could get you to make Asterius to be pushed back faster than he can charge at you
no lucy attack
Have you been avoiding chaos up until this point or something?
No
Shouldn’t take too long to see it if you actively take chaos portals whenever possible
I'm at over 100 runs and have never seen it
My hellmode save is only missing it for the prophecy because I take other things over defiance lol
Seen it three times though
I wouldn’t suggest rolling more than once per chaos though
I am finding Ixion/second natural Chaos so incredibly rarely that if I don't blow all my remaining rerolls on it i'm likely to waste them
I'm only doing 1 reroll per well, though
Since there's lots of wells
ixion is quite rare
Just got my new distro, trying to download mods now
Then you guys' luck is very different from mine
Ixion was the second last well item I saw in general for the well prophecy
ordered a hades Nendoroid
Based
wonder if i can get my hands on the upcoming thanatos one too
Complaining about rng in the SGG server fixes 87% of my hades rng problems
Pride fixes the other 13%
sometimes rng hates you with a burning passion in this game but we deal with it
I really like Skelly's companion for Hades
Too bad he's not quite as good for most of the rest of the run
do we have any channels we can post pictures in?
weird
Send the image link
Do I need to reunite Eurydice and Orpheus to finish the music training subquest, or have I just not strummed enough?
You have to wear a cat boy maid outfit and show the mods
Not strummed enough
To get image perms
oh like this
Not front facing Thandoroid 
Yeah you did it right 👍
i ordered this one
Zagshield based
pre order windows closed for thanatos so gonna need a grab it from another more expensive store i think
Than with mort hecka cute
i likely order but that one is only releasing in january
Also since you asked about channels to post pics, #h1-victory-boasting is the only channel where you can directly post images
Zag minifigure with all aspects when?
But they have to be victories
Or “accomplishments”
never

I’m thinking of like one zag minifigure and then a bunch of aspects that would fit into his hand
if they would be real nice they would release a hades one and give him other aspects we can use on our prince
also amiami still had our reaper boy so got it ordered might do a unboxing of it when its out
wonder if we are getting meg next
and im a idiot already announced that
https://special.goodsmile.info/whg_2022_spring/gallery/images/products/7.jpg
Lmfao
I am keeping track; I've now gone through 36 Chaos boons with legendary possible with no luck since starting looking (3 boons per look, 2 rerolls per visit, 4 eligible Chaos visits)
Do Aether Nets stack? I've got one with 1 encounter left, and my one encounter is going to be the final boss, but I'm at a Charon well and can buy another. Would it stack and do 15% + 15% + 20% from Zeus?
Oh yea also partway through this I realized I didn't check if it was stacking with Zeus +20% starting
Additively for the most part
Bro this is a free run
I literally sold Athena's health restore on losing Death Defiance twice because the coins were so worth it and they've helped me not need to lose all 3 lmao
And yes she offered it back to me one chamber after I sold it
Cuz she wasn't offering anything I wanted and I figured it'd sell well lmao
You mean the duo?
Stubborn roots?
Other then that I can’t think of athena health restore
And I don’t think you can sell her dd boons
yea those are unpurgeable
I think EM Asterius is programmed to do his repeated spin attack when you summon Skelly
Has happened right after I summoned him 3 times now
so bit back on merch i was wrong we are also getting a pop up parade figure of or prince in the future too
so what happens with chaos's legendary boon and stubborn defiance?
it's just an extra dd that gets used after your sd
once you use the dd it's gone forever
Ah same as the tooth keepsake
sword doesn’t have dash special unless you mean dash nova hammer
and i think it still happens you just don’t just twice in that case
no idea whats going on here but yes
It’s easier if you special and then dash
You don’t jump twice*
Like dash nova lands and on landing sends 2 novas
Rather than dashing twice
I believe
I had gotten confused about what you meant by dash specialing on sword
Because to my knowledge only fists has a specific dash special type thing and sword has it’s hammer
are you sure you’re not dashing before the second special hit
Poseidon is underrated for how much power he has over the world
i think they meant like
in the real world
how they think other people consider poseidon not great or whatever
Global warming is making sea levels rise? More like we haven’t been paying attention as poseidon grows stronger
It's just some guy splash dashing all over the place
poseiden mostly used for dash and farming i think
well and its dueo meaning you have to pickup his what where it atk/special/call/cast for it
The flood shot duos are honestly some of the cooler Cast duos in the game
im wondering did sgg every release a hades artbook?
what does the bouldy emote even mean y does everyone use it


It's versatile, and doesn't have a fixed meaning
No.
ok maybe in the future
I remember from an interview or Q&A that they have no plans for an artbook for various reasons, but they're aware there are fans who want one.
makes sense will see
enough merch ateleast
oredered figures considering cerberus plush and cd soundtrack not sure yet
No but there’s a poster that’s going to be restocked eventually on fangamer
And a making of documentary
A documentary of the real stories of the ancient greek gods
For too long we've had confusing and mutually contradictory myths, it's time to find out what actually happened
it depends on your understanding of myths yk
I'm not talking about mythology
We're going to finally find out what the actual greek gods did back then
also wdym actual greek gods
how is that diff from myths
(they're joking)
hopefully
they did your mom (you are a demigod)
child of zeus, no doubt
The hades staff will be directly interviewing the cast to ask them
Is there any reason to play a spear other than Zags?
Achiles feels bad, Hades feels slow, Guan Yu feels underwhelming
achilles has insane movement and damage
hades has good damage
and guan yu has good damage but at a cost
all of those are better than zag spear
Really? I though Zag's safety to be better than Achilles' dash stuff
what safety does zag have over the other spears
not including guan yu 
gaun yu is anti saftey
Span special, never engage, sniper build
hades does that but better
Hades special is so slow tho
the extra 25% special speed and range isnt gonna do much
just take the 150% special damage from hades
(Locked behind charged strike)
Alright, gonna run Achiles
Wait
Achilles special is chargeable
What
kekw
Wait, you can recall Achilles with strike
What
Kekw
Achilles is pretty much best spear because +150% to the next 4 casts and attacks is huge
Zag spear isn’t nearly as strong, but it can go flurry jab or explosive launcher plus charger skewer I guess
Hades is pretty much only good if you hit explosive launcher -> charged skewer (or quick spin I guess)
Guan-yu is like zag or hades but with a built-in improved explosive launcher
Like
Also idk what you mean by the safety of zag
Sidenote: Spear is pretty hammer dependent overall tbh
I understood incorrectly that you were locked into dashing towards the spear
Never once did I press strike lol
Dashing towards the spear isn’t really an issue for the most part
Unless you throw it on top of the (lava?magma?) in asphodel
for achilles you just have to get used toi the playstyle
Also achilles may feel underwhelming due to how you’ve been building it… idk how you’ve been building it
how u jackhammer in rhythm games
zag is the worst
only achillies is good
Zag spear is better than hades spear
Well it's harder to get the right hammers
But assuming you can it's better
Just anvil into flurry explosive charged
True
you basically need quick spin to make hades spear better than zag spear
but if you do have it, you can apply the debuff pretty easily and get some nice extra damage
zag spear op
weak bait
but yeah as much as i like spear in general, it's kind of sad that achilles is the only really worthwhile one in most cases
What
I take that back that was not called for
i wasn't offended at all, that was just kind of dumb
If you have quick spin you’ve gotta anvil for explosive and charged as well though
Or only have the one
I use spear and i don't even think about it very much oh my
I need to start doing that probably
you assume that i'm relying on my special
I never use my specials
when i play hades spear, i just apply the debuff and then wail on them with my attack
Same tbh
Hades zag and guan-yu kind of rely on it
I mean zag can get flurry jab thoug
and guan-yu you could take quick or massive alongside charged
spear special just feels so bad unless you're running guan yu
hades spear without chain skewer is so sad 
I dont use any specials really
Spear special feels bad unless you’re running guan-yu or have explosive launcher

hence why i don't even bother using it aside from guan yu/achilles, and just stab enemies to death directly
demeter:
But if you hit the hammer in question
well sure, but between just stabbing them directly to death without need for a hammer, and relying on special and a hammer, i usually go for the former
i imagine the latter
You imagine incorrectly it is the former
aspect of hades
You mean how the debuff doesn't apply to further spin attacks?
yeah
Yeah it's unfortunate, but usually spamming spin attack over and over isn't very efficient anyway
The only time I really do it is during dad fight so I can just get some free damage on him while he's lasering
For a 40 heat pact for zeus^2 is dc2 a bad pick?
it is when RI exists
Dc2 is fine yeah
i imagine a decent chunk of your damage is jolted anyway
It's just annoying for Zeus shield but you should be fine
no
non rama bows
not close to almost everything
Start thunder flourish
dash through them
idk man as
Says you
just rng manip so he never casts
shackle
you could reset for zeus
And you pick up the first % you see that isn't tempest strike
Based
my thoughts exactly
Yes
Anvil was changed but I still hit cshot
mfw routed anvil
anyone thought about how cool duo calls would be?
I've just heard eurydice and orpheus duo and i think i didnt hard Orpheus solo good riddance or didnt notice it, even if Zagreus spokr about it with Eurydice xd.
The story has so much voice lines that sometimes you hear one that you shouldnt hear, like from past event
how does the game determine which pins to pin on the victory screen
There is a formula
1 hammer is guaranteed I think
And perhaps 1 legendary or duo if applicable
Aspect or companion
I don’t remember it all
It’s cuz companion is legendary
anything over lv. 6 almost always gets pinned, rarity is a good factor in determining pin chance, a hammer usually makes it on there
“Weapon aspect, at least 1 hammer, at least 1 duo/legendary, leveled up boons. If I remember right, the priority was something like this.” -nyaanyaa
is it possible to get 100% critical chance or dodge chance
Yes, with hunter’s mark
And yes, temporarily
So “yes temporarily” to both I suppose
Happy Halloween folks, have the first video for my fresh new channel! This video was sped up from my stream on Twitch, which explains the weird mini pauses in the beginning.
To see the drawing in real time, hop onto https://www.twitch.tv/zakudoodles for the video highlight!
I've only recently started playing Hades, and am currently stuck on A...
Not mine just wanted to share
Welp, bounty limits reached on all weapons
Guess I'm truly in the for fun part of the game now
Nvm shield has one more bounty
charged shot beo, aka the hidden railgun weapon
I am still trying to get Chaos's legendary with no luck
Well over 100 boons offered with the prerequisite enabled and nothing
yes
also cosmic egg
don't worry you'll get it as soon as you give up and remove both legacy and egg
Another 3 rolls
Do 40 heat afterwards lol
is bull miniboss also em3
Yep
at that point it just depends on the weapon tbh
beo makes the main fight pretty easy imo
but if you're using something like chiron, then miniboss should be easier
it's just an example 
you're already taking lc4 at 32 tho
the 8 extra heat is from hl1 to hl5, js1/cf1, ap1, and hs
you can avoid ap1 with like js2 cf1
welp
if you're taking hl5 then you should hardly be getting hit lol
just dont get hit idk man
cf and uc be like
Yo support fire or lightning rod?
i dont like it since i have to do so much around it you can just not take it for a good amount of heat imo
are you playing hera or beo?
rod is actually free damage 
Demeter
rod is better free damage
Artemis on attack
take rod
rod for gigantic coin
arty call do be like that
call v call
It looks like I also got a double crit on Double Edge
That cerberus plush from fangamer store is looking at me
Its really cute i want one
Gotta love winning a run with no deaths
Want it might ost too not sure anuthing else
True i also like the posters and pins tho
Oooo those do look good too
aspect of chiron
broken kinda
is it possible to guarentee first god?
like the first boon
purging weird
Yes, that’s what the keepsakes from the Olympians do
Y…yes they do
they guarentee them appearing im pretty sure
in tart keepsake guarantee first god
damn i didnt know that
hermes can get in front of keepsake tho after tart/ starting aspho
I mean someone told you that and you said NUH UH
It guarantees them first chamber unless you get hammer first chamber, then it guarantees them the next time a god would offered
Was that world splitter lmao
let my friend play today with dio keepsake took him to mid area 2 to to finally get his special boon think he hates him
unmodded moment
No, I had Flurry Slash and Piercing Wave that run
I used to thing dio was amazing and then I wised up
He’s still best boy, just not strong boy
he was using zeus shield
aight, i'm boutta head out
Wdym
Dio is amazing
Oh flurry slash I missaw
Like I would take his boons over anything else when I was new
I remember thinking dio special on spear was busted because you applied it twice 💀
hmm, what did i used to think that was embarassing
well for one thing i hated dio, which... yeah ok that still applies
hated demeter, thought athena was the best thing since sliced bread
never ever took shops or bought anything from them
skill issue
I want to stop having to use all my persuasions to get chaos boons and use normal keepsakes again
Yeah I used to skip midshop all the time
Bc spending obols stinky
Gotta save for well DDs
Having more then one source of hangover 🧠
Correct opinions
-zeus
Six more hours today and still no sign of Defiance
I'm getting close-ish to finishing with the game and I've never seen it
So I don't think that's true
\o/
i have played lots of hades i think i have seen chaos legendary less than 10 times butidrk i dont keep track
It's the last prophecy in the game for me, and I've got all the substories done but Nyx's and just have to finish off heat after that
Not planning on doing resource director stuff
most of the time you get what you want in this game without ever trying for it lmao
game's weird
That has not been the case for me
Was at >50 clears and still hadn't seen about half of the duo and legendary boons, so had to purposefully seek them out
Never saw flame wheel release until I started looking for it and spamming rerolls and wells
Oh, and I have to finish the last 3 fish journal entries left too, forgot about that
i mean i've never really sought out any boons/hammers/well items and got the prophecies completed
just a lot of time and curiosity got them for me
Then you are significantly luckier than me
Or have done many, many more runs than I plan to
i got chaos legendary at probably around run 225
but like i never tried to get it
all the duos and hammer stuff i finished a lot earlier tho
some i dont even remember completing
legit dont remember ever using crystal clarity or cold embrace but apparently i did
I'm planning to try to finish at around 150 clears or so
Currently at 90 clears or so, working on heat while searching for this last boon
I finished her quest a bit ago
There's still unique dialogue, but the events have finished
I wonder why they don't let you exchange companions at the rest stops even if you haven't used them yet
hades cant get flurry jav
It has an easier time getting explosive charged without flurry in the pool I guess
Stick to #h1-for-new-players Matty

have they fixed the frozen cursor problem on mac when it slides over to the menu bar?
Worst patch ever was this one
“+ Fully Loaded (Artemis): rarity set to **Legendary **
- Support Fire (Artemis): no longer Legendary; effect now scales with rarity”

What was Support Fire's potency when it was legendary?
Splitting bolt on striking specialing or casting
i have dun goofed so now i have to dash for iframes on like 300 td damage
this will be fun
Should I "borrow" from charon?
why not test it out? It’s definitely free money charon is giving you to help you during your run
And he was never heard from again
is pressure points a good boon?
Yes it’s a good boon
Gets very good when you have hunters mark also
And a source of fast hitting DPS (shoals, hangover, Zeus)
Yes
dead cells is getting more crossover weapons and skins hopefully i see bouldy in there
nvm i just read that they revealed their last one zagcry
Just had two runs in a row with a truly obscene number of enemies. At least 3 waves in every room, often 5, even in the very first floor of Asphodel. 20+ non-skull enemies in regular Tartarus rooms.
I triple checked, and Jury Duty is definitely off. Timer is on, and forced overtime is on.
It almost seems like some pacts must be "stuck" on or something?
yeah, that's what I thought too. and yet, here we are. very weird.
and yes chaos, but inferno bomb and pauper.
lol
Someone just got a sub 6 off a 2:25 tartarus
that someone was me
damn!
Bruh damn
Damn
Should I do each heat with every weapon or use one weapon for each heat and then move to the next
Distant memory best keepsake actually playing Hades 
Either way you want
Smh
smh my head
Smh my head my head
+1% damage
i equipped butterfly in styx and then got hit in one styx chamber
then got a 2 sack
so i had +0% for the dad fight
pretty good
should've taken more tunnels
How do you unlock the locked heart ?
Do things
I tried that
you can check the favors for each character in the wiki
Favors
Completing their favour
Faaaaayyyyyyvor
Each NPC requires that you do something in particular (and then have the unlock conversation with them) to unlock their locked heart and start being able to gift ambrosia
So without knowing what npc you meant
“Do things” is about as specific as we can get
because that channel used to not exist
what's heat
@mods
Favour
In how many time did you get the codex completed for fishes (so long to have a sport in chaos area)
Zag sword: divine dash or lightning dash?
both are good
Divine dash 100%
Lightning dash is bugged on non-arthur swords to mess with your dash strike
divine dash for survivability, zeus dash for offensive
i lean zeus dash but divine works if you're scared
Zeus dash messes with dash strikes on non-arthur sword matty
The bug will make consecutive dash strikes go a bit like this https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/795659377755422742/1003950297665781830/zeus_dash_bug.png
So take divine dash
I always miss Charon boss fight ... I see the bag after i click on the door xD I need a dialogue in there lel.
You don’t need to pick up charon bag for runs it’s just convient
Unless you’re trying to get the card entry of the codex maxed
then it would be a problem
Did an urn take my money
