hades is missing currently from my game, not at his desk. has been for 10-15 runs or so
anything i can do to get him back from the store buying cigarettes?
Stop losing to him
In my experience if you lose the final fight he often doesn’t show up at home after
have beaten him several times
When I said IDK where it lands I didn’t not mean it in the literal game sense
ok then
well time to get a static discharge
I meant in terms of power since I personally think it’s a cope pick
It lands where you started dashing
But am not sure about what actual good players think about it
If only there were any of those here
In terms of sound effects it’s definitely at least A tier
damn aphrodite call does a lot of damage
Maxing a call 
whats wrong with that
Most of the time it’s better to just spam the minicalls
I mean I figure that but I also have a curse of Nyaanyaa Mewmew being able to correct everything I saw so
does that mean that smoldering air is a good boon
Yesp
Extremely
Zeus and dio are the good dps calls
It’s also good for spamming defensive calls like athena amd aphro
charm against bosses is good enough
Still good for survivability
it would be the same if you skipped c34
does hades only have 3 phases in EM4?
im running EM3 rn for the elysium achievement and about to fight dad
Yes
Each level in em only affects 1 boss fight
drunken dash is kind of lol
it's an absolutely terrible source of hangover for real dio builds and it really does nothing for flat damage soup, unless you're actively trying to avoid knockback from posideon
for high heat, it busts down dc quite well, and it's at least something, but it's still garbage
Hades achievements 💢
i’m sick rn and not doing much so should I try and get the third skelly statue?
Im also a charon fan
very based
Agreed
What? Literally charms every time you use her call, how is that unreliable?
Smair + Aphrodite's Aid carries.
"foes"
omg I'm a moron, CP1/2 applies to bosses (EM4/champions/whatever)
the reduced length vs bosses results in situs like: charm hades -> he starts a spin against his adds -> charm wears off -> it hits you anyway
or it just messes up attack patterns
it’s fine to dodge a hit last second but it doesn’t buy you meaningful free time the same way athena call does bc you have to dodge the attacks anyway just in case
isn't there another thing for titan blood or is it just wep unlocks nope those were keys
unlocking + upgrading aspects, then I can throw them at ambrosias for maxing bonds?
I forgot I did this
god I love this game
does throwing specials before enemies spawn let you keep the erebus treasure?
(yes I know I should ignore them for the TD1)
I threw it both right before enemies spawned + like not even a second after I killed the last one and I got super scared the drop would suddenly transform into a onion or smthn ._.
You can keep Hades charmed for essentially the whole fight if your Call is leveled a bit. Charm application is basically instant, and the charm duration doesn't count towards call duration, so you can build back god gauge right away. Athena's Aid doesn't build god gauge over its duration. Overrated call, was much better before its pom scaling got nerfed.
I don't think your own inexperience with Charm duration makes the Call bad. The time it wears off is predictable.
chiron counts as "chamber rewards" (life affirmation)?
Charon. And yeah, the Centaur Hearts you buy count. The one you can get from Thanatos doesn't count, though.
mm
ayyyy lmao trove gave me nectar after I already had vintages, nice
not bad, TD1 killing heroes w/ 5 minutes left and a fair amount of screwing around (I think I did two erebus?)
no
(I mean yes, but this is my first run back in like, over a month hiatus)
haven't said this before but I'm chosing to do EM4 FO1 again as my first run back mostly because blitz disc, yes I know that's probably insane considering I'm not that good at the game yet
p sure I've done EM4 FO1, I... don't remember if I've accomplished EM4 FO2 yet
at minimum I've gotten w/in like a quarter of the 3rd health bar attempting FO2
it still feels like complete BS that sneak will eat your invuln alive
just over 5 minutes for 2 & 3 + some like 900+ health, wish me luck :PPPPP
b r u h
https://imgur.com/a/t5MHG20 mfw I got this message on a defy-less run
doesn't make much of a difference but its kind of funny that I looked at my mirror and realized I wasn't using the family favorite/privileged slot (it was flipped to family w/ 0 darkness) xd
Considering the high heat pacts some of us here have done, that doesn't really sound so insane, no. 
You can use Lucky Tooth instead for EM4.
Also.
Congratulations! 
I meant for the “first run in over a month”
Yeah I’ve kind of wondered on tooth vs acorn on like, sneak/soul catchers lol
can hestia empowered shot be the special thats boosted?
It’s just your bullets
Good rule of thumb for EM4 is Acorn if you have very high damage, Broken Spearpoint if you have very high HP, and otherwise take Lucky Tooth.
tfw you get to em4 dad with neither high damage nor high health
High Heat life.
can someone tell me how ppl actually get sub 5 runs
ive tried so hard and i cant get sub 10
my fastest clear is 12
There aren’t many sub 5 runs tbh
ok well how do i get my first sub10
i already do the pausing thing
do i just keep playing and hope i get it eventually?
i seem to break my record every 2 days or so
Actually for unseeded and unmodded there are no sub 5’s
All the sub 5 runs are either seeded, modded, or both
ok
Unseeded unmodded record is 5:16
Unless speedrun.com is loading incorrectly for me
Tbh my sub10 run is likely dumb luck I’m not really sure if I can help you
wait so sub 10 is actually very hard?
It’s hard if you have a skill issue
Also start running fo2 em2 it will make you faster
but i wanna ddo 0 heat
Why? It’s slower
it is??

“Also start running fo2 em2** it will make you faster**”
why em2?
There is no fo4
Em2 makes lernie heads closer together so lernie fight becomes faster
wtf actually??
fo2 makes enemies come to you sooner and makes waves spawn sooner iirc
ngl never thought of that
bp1 is also an option because it can make the armoured enemies happen sooner in the biomes than later iirc
but you can get shafted rngwise by bp1 so
Did you think I was just lying when I said that it was faster?
no i just didnt know all these ingenious details
ill start doing fo2 and em2 then
thx
Also watching speedruns to pick up techniques or skills they use
Aside from that just being intentional about your build
Take free rooms that you see whenever you see them (chaos rooms, story rooms, shops)
Take minibosses in styx first
Be careful about taking those chaos rooms that you don’t take roiling because roiling is yikes(it’s the one that causes you to have to face more enemies)
Spend obols to make time
Time is money so the less money you have at the end of the run the lower your end time
The sooner you benefit from boons or well items the sooner you’re saving time
i'd reccomend that if you actually want to understand how a hades speedrun works look at the modded wr with beo
it's a low apm weapon so you can understand what they're doing and the microstrategies they're employing compared to, say, achilles
forgot to turn off ping 
learn the optimal speedrun build and keepsake route for your aspect too, decision-making is half the battle
ye the main draw to FO2 for speedrunning is that it makes enemies spawn in quicker
it also helps if you run a weapon that often gets boons like static discharge or razor shoals, as the increased atk/move speed will let those boons do more dmg

1:36 Getting Star...
two pings wasn’t necessary; i don’t think your own experience with the call makes it good
I mean results don't make something good, but they're proof.
I havent played since way back on release for the game, beat it and did ok in heat levels. is there anything new added? debating going back for more completion exc
There were a few balance changes in the first few months but no new content.
Can just look through #hades-patch-notes.
ah fair enough, ty
lol... I rerolled athena offering me parting shot twice even though I had fairly significant cast boons so I could hopefully roll deathless or last stand instead (which gratefully I did)
Just listened to Eurydice for a full hour lol
this was both really funny + I think probably more dangerous (I'd say "more stressful than my EM4-FO2 attempts" if not for the fact that hades is the last thing in your run) than p much anything else I've done mostly because I almost died in aspho because of that + 400% from traps (not HS but chaos)
Did the bone hydra with 255 max hp lol
I'm new how easy is it to get that high hp?
alr ty all
not too hard if you avoid boons and poms and the like
but boons and poms are generally more useful
its p easy if u rly wanna hoard all the hearts
i think max u can get is 400 hp
max is not 400hp
at least thats the highest i ever got
wdym
wait what is the max then
oh your personal record for hp
Thought so but it was fun.
Also Chaos's boon for more hp
I mean there is a theoretical max that idk and then probably a haelian video where he gets like 700 or 800+ Iirc
Arthur Sword being used.

found it
There's no max HP cap per se, just limited by how many Centaur Hearts and Souls you can possibly find in a run.
the only limit is chambers
me, turning on the trap + magma doing 400% damage:
me, immediately forgetting and getting hit for 25 damage by a spike trap: 🥲
oopsies
I'm good at vidya games, promise
This is why we don't take hs
the upside is if I don't blunder face first into it, Arthur sword will save me some Issues
I had 2x HS-boons from chaos in aspho earlier and on my first time really playing HL (HL3, LC2) lol
stygian shard 
currently leaving tart with 250 hp
Fatty
real
Abyssal? Chaos boons where the penalty is +400% trap damage
Does having Spread Fire hammer on Hestia Rail decrease the empowered shot damage or something? I feel like I my shot went from 400 to 300 ish
unless I'm just imagining it somehow
Spread fire doesn’t affect the empowered shot at all
yeah I realized after the fact that it doesn't actually affect the empowered shot's behavior, but it's weird that I felt like the damage decreased somehow
Do you have fiery presence
yeah
What probably happened is that you did a tiny bit of damage before the empowered shot
So it went down by roughly 100
Which is roughly 75% of 150
huh 
Warning about epic games. They have deleted my cloud save twice. So I bought the game on steam.
Never heard of that issue before
You can try asking for help in #h1-tech-fixes. They might know what to do there to prevent that from happening.
Although I guess just playing on Steam works around the problem anyway.
I tried to fix it for ages but couldn't figure it out.
I just don't trust epic games anymore
I made persephone come back, me hapi
just got 2 legendaries in one trial
gods legacy op
bruh asterius and the other guy one comboed me i hate guan yu
Unleveled guan yu moment
guan yu moment
Guanissyu moment
because a true disciple of guan yu doesn't even need hp, there are no enemies left to deal damage
it's just a skill issue on our part
real
It's not hard to get duos without legacy
And god rarities can be more important in a build
Good Hermes, chaos, doom, Aphrodite, jolted boons go a long way
Legacy won't help you there
Legacy is only good in builds that rely on getting a duo like mirage shot beo
ME as well if you reset for epic doom, but then you might not get good Hermes, and it's also just 1 duo so it's not too bad
Getting epic rd or dashes from Hermes is gonna be a ton more damage
Also if you want you can just reset for mirage shot if you don't get it early here so you can use pride for good Hermes lol
Legacy allows for more consistency
No
That just ain’t true
Rarity ends up mattering a whole lot more than duos and legendaries for most builds
ic
reset as in give up?
bruh
giving up does not reset the seed, you start the exact same way when you do that. most times.
fr!!!
no
It’s not easier to get duos without legacy
sometimes it is
It’s just that it’s not as worth it compared to pride
🤨
legacy is actually -10% duo legendary chance

but i always prioritise duos like they're the core part of my runs
i cant live without them
Most of the time duos build upon the regular boons that you have
Those regular boons being better means you can use the duos better
Like merciful end will perform better with a higher rarity doom type deal
You have a decent chance without it
Not every build needs a duo lol
A duo doesn't make the run good either
Most of the time good epic boons are gonna get your farther than duos
Like my last run I did I had +112% damage on dash strikes for hesty in tart
Without pride I doubt I would've gotten such a high percentage, and because I had such a high percent it let me cope with deadly strike because I already had such a high percent
No clearly any run is made 1000% better if you pick up stubborn roots
Fair
Oh I didn't send my hesty run here oops lol
if you dont use either you'll get it in tart
Route mirage shot c2
get a boon randomizer mod and get it c1
i mean most builds revolve around getting 1 duo, but it's never a "make or break" duo
doubt it lol
i mean obv yeah ofc it's great to get the duo you want, but if you dont get it it's not an instant loss unless you're doing high heat
but also why are you shooting for a duo at high heat lol
once ap2 or even ap1 goes on, dont shoot for duos
someone tell me how to farm again:
posiedon keepsake?
chaos gates?
buy everything?
dio keepsake into aspho for exclusive access, hope to get epic eclipses from chaos
ocean's bounty and sunken treasure from poseidon
you can get sunken treasure multiple times iirc
dont sacrifice your build to get darkness, make sure you always win
follow dark thirst, even if it's on a weapon you dont like
all weapons can use a poseidon core
poseidon
ok ty
if you want to go as fast as possible, take em2 fo2 and td
if you dont want to deal with em2, do em0
if you dont want to deal with fo2, you can either lower or just remove
td is more or less necessary so you dont get the 45 sec survival rooms in tart
td3 should be easy enough to do
👍
get vanquisher's keep, easy gems, then go for eclipses. it's entirely possible, but it will take a little bit of persistence
Why controller can't be recognized today😭
lack of skill
vanquisher's keep??
beating bosses gives a gemstone reward along with the darkness
You probably already have it
Also make sure to fish
150 gems for the middle fish in Styx
real
ok
oh yeah ihave that
bruh but everytime i kill a boss it only gives like 30 gems which is tiny
Is there any fix for blurry characters in 2k res?
thirty gems? considering that a room reward is 5 or 10 gems, i think that's a huge win
bruh but i need 10k gems to buyeverything in the game
not counting upgrading the pointless ranks
rn i have 1.6k i think
skill issue
Yup. You'll still need gemstones well after you're done with everything else.
I have like 30k gems with nothing to spend it on, you’ll be fine
bruh
Nah you need darkness well after everything else
i hate tiny vermin so much
It's probably mutual.
ye, i want to unlock everything before downloading mods
how to install them?
alr
does mods disable some things or not?
oh, that's nice :]
hades is my fav game
Mods disable unmodded gameplay
no they don't you can shut the mods off 
🤔
Does Clean Kill apply to your normal damage multiplier, or the critical damage multiplier?
what is that room in styx between the fountain/keepsake room and cerberus room?
I believe it’s additive onto your crit damage so it’s a 3.3x multi
is there anything special about it?
oof
Witches circle moment
indeed
every build is the worst witches circle build
this post was made by the anti witches circle campaign
Bonus crit damage is added to the 3× crit multiplier, yes.
Merciful End moment
it's not like deflect exists
or battie exists
or just not having a skissue with witches circle exists
No, those things do exist.
just hail marry it every single time no matter the build
just get right in there
not like you'll lose 60 hp in a second
Might as well rock pl while you’re at it
based
witches circle is easy with bow
you can break projectiles by shooting at them even without athena
I burnt out of hades before learning how to do it properly
the special on the bow makes it super easy
go to the side area from where you spawn, and i think look left if you went right
and look right if you went left
witches circle is easy with bow
i'm doing rama run now :p
Kinda low for rama tbh

unupgraded rama mind you
you literally dont have to walk into lava for it
Even so?
dash to the side and hit the direction
it's not twin shot tbf
They increase the shared suffering damage not the actual bow shot damage
then whats now low damage for rama? i have a heroic lvl 5 aphro attack and perfect shot that increases power shot damage
i was gonna say the damage is fine lol
Maybe that’s why I’m thinking that
it's dealing ~230 per hit, 500 something if pressure points decides to collaborate
690 if presspoint decides to collaborate
do you have hunter's dash
I must be misremembering
dstrike is 125
I haven’t played hades in forever, rama longer, and have had a stupid headache + lack of sleep for the last 4 days, I can’t remember things
If dstrike is 125 and you have heroic aphrodite strike + perfect shot you should be doing way more than 230
well, by face tanking and focusing on getting the power shots they hit for 400 something and it seems i was just bad at doing it all this time
even with perfect shot claiming to make it easy
166-176% for lvl 5 heroic heart break strike
That makes 10* more sense
so i'm just assuming the 230 damage is from nonpower shots
it's cos im bad at it
400 damage power shots is what you should be getting
if im dashing around i cant power shot
and that's good damage
Non-fully charged shots
idk what the other people are on about lmao
I’m tired
hi tired
but i just dont know how to power shot rama
like, it is glowing why it's not power shotting
Dash into strike charge it to full
isn't that the thing i should look out for
yes
It should glow then you release
perfect shot should open up that window
you kind of have to anticipate when it glows tho, because if you release as soon as you see it you might still be late
perfect shots also sound different
try messing around in the courtyard on skelly to get used to the timings a bit
yay got my first rama clear
rama 
Do you have to get the 32 heat statue before Skelly will tell you who he's working for?
yes
Thanks
those things are unrelated afaik
skelly statue is just that, the statue (which is still amazing to get anyways
)
you cannot react in time to power shot visual cues, even on rama, in combat. it has to be learned. it's always the same exact timing as long as you're dash striking, so once you learn the timing, you're good. but practice in the courtyard and in tartarus before you start taking it on real runs. you have to master power shots to get results with rama
Does perfect shot open the window enough for visual cue use or not I don’t remember
it might, but you have to react early regardless
How long did it take you guys to get through your first full run? I've been playing for 22 hours and I think I've only gotten to the end of a run like twice but I haven't beaten it yet. Starting to feel like I'm just not that good lmao
40 attempts, so probably a good 30 hours or more
actually specifically 46 attempts was my first escape
50 attempts for me
oh ok
50 exact for me as well
like 80
i suck at roguelikes and lites so 100 exactly for me ((:
I gave up after 60 something on PC but cleared it on my switch in 18
But maybe thats bc I'm awful with keyboard
My first win was attempt 23. Very different meta though back in Early Access.
🤝 bad at game solidarity
mkay, so you just game more
twas prolly my third or fourth
i played bastion and transistor too
I escaped on the 46th attempt
Man does Daedalus hates the sword or something? across my 150 hours of Hades I've only gotten the Double Edge hammer like once 
He made like 4 hammers that just nerf your sword so yes, he does hate it
lmao
Does it count as "getting hit" if you stepped into them?
yes because it still hit me
If you walk into a lamppost, we wouldn't say the lamppost hit you. 
i would
skill diff
No, you would be unconscious. 
How fast am I walking to be rendered unconscious by a lampost
Fast enoufg
Fair point
if the lamp post expanded at a rapid rate and began to intersect with you, i think it would do more than render you unconsious
Depends more on how you hit it than how fast anyway.
if, where x represents time in seconds, the radius of a lamp post, which is 8 inches, expands at r^[x(pi/3)] units of measure and caps expansion at 4 seconds, will the lamp post first double in size or stop after the time limit? (for size, assume to be in reference to the surface area of a cross-section of the pole.) assuming zagreus is standing 3 feet away, how close will he be to the pole once expansion ends? if he intersects, by how much? for full credit, show your work.
Yes
POV: when I got the duo Boon that I was aiming for without using a roll and before ending Tartarus.

Hacker
acorn
love getting two duos boons at once, god legacy op
now i have
to pick one
thats worse than a trial
no just lucky as F.
when i aim it i always try to get it in tart.
when you like challenging yourself yes you do mate. 
god’s pride users when exclusive access
When you are way to lucky you should start doubting about your girlfriend's loyalty...
Master Oogway 2022.
talking about me overhere
i get way too much duo's in tart no cap. once i even got splitting bolt in tart 
🤝
bruh. i don't have god's legacy enabled
wtf is CE mate ?
why are they using this? it's like totally ruining the game.
Y’all know each other or is tree just being weirdly aggressive to a rando again
Carry on
i mean it's the same odds
yeah you're not wrong but also like, seeing a legendary and duo is the same odds if you have the reqs
legendaries have more reqs that are harder to get, but technically still same odds
thank you brother.
Oh fyi memes about legacy negatively affecting your rng
Because pride is just better
facts
that wont stop me from running legacy on beo lmao
yes
flurry slash makes your dashes wonky
if you try to empty dash, even after letting go of the atk button, you'll dash strike
and goodbye iframes
do you have a source for that information???
this is the first i'm ever hearing of this
there's no way fslash removes iframes from the game
Than isn't supposed to help Zag.
Than works for Hades. And his job description doesn't entail "help my son to run away from home".
1000%
Not from the entire game no
Just from your dashes while holding down attaxk
Wait huh?
It does eventually 
@rustic vale I'm pretty sure it's on the bug list
Empty dashes 
well like
if you let go then empty dash right after
not like it permanently makes you dstrike always
i do remember seeing it mentioned somewhere
Solution never play sword
you have to do than's favor first 
i forget what it is
oh that's ez
try to catch him after seeing him out in the field. sometimes he just up and leaves first so it's annoying but it's a lot more reliable than trying to find him in the house
wdym
run to him and spam gift?
like after an encounter
yeah he'll stop and wait to talk to you sometimes
before he goes
Does anyone know why the switch version isnt on sale like the steam version?
Ik theres the cross save thing but i think itd just be easier to buy it on the nintendo eshop yknow lol
I see 👍

bruh wtf can the butterfly ball teleport with middle management
it just completely avoided than
i hate this
Yeah it teleports with mm
than needs more hermes boons his attack is too slow
Than needs hyper sprint rush delivery he doesn’t do enough damage
that's why we don't use than lol
also it doesn't technically teleport, it just moves very fast lol
if it teleported, any status conditions would be removed when it reappears
Rupture time
It won't teleport back to back. So you'd summon Than after a teleport.
the world if rupture dealt damage relative to the velocity of the enemy:
Holy moly
Aspect of eris is op
If i had gotten rocket bomb earlier i easily could have gotten sub 10
What was your clear time?
anyone else experiencing input lag with controller? (on pc)
Any controller will have input lag, the question is how much. There shouldn't be any problems like that though in Hades. See if they can help you in #h1-tech-support.
just feels like the button I press does nothing
even in menu & confirming something like a boon or going next dialog
Like I said, #h1-tech-support.
fixed it myself, works now with some adjustments in Nvidia control panel 🙂
um
hades somehow hit me through aegis while i was guarding
anyone know whats up with that
it was during phase two
there werent any other enemies or the hand things on the ground
Just unfortunate angles and hitbox interactions, pretty much.
use the dark thirst weapon every time
eventually you'll get something called darker thirst from the contractor that also makes it give gemstones
It boosts gemstones doesn’t give them 🤓
use the dark thirst weapon every time, go for chaos since they can give you a boon that makes darkness and gemstones rewards be worth more
poseidon can also give you darkness and gemstones
To get more darkness use the glowing purple weapon, aim for chaos, and also Poseidon for oceans bounty and sunken treasure
but mostly, be patient, it's intended to take long
Also the story room in Tartarus can give darkness
you'll eventually get to a point where mirror stuff costs 2k-4k darkness
And fishing in Chaos gives fish that you can turn in for darkness
im not really a patient person lol
well that's the wrong game then 🤓
kinda one of my biggest issues
That’s not the game’s problem
Dyno moment
bruh what language bot
You said a bad word
i rarely have time to play games anymore so i kinda tend to try and rush things
Pretty simple to understand
wait i cant say 𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖙
You probably shouldn’t bypass the filter either
here ya go https://www.speedrun.com/hades/guides 
thx lol
what gets annoying to farm is titan blood
Only if you level up everything indiscriminately
If you level up strong aspects first you don’t even need that much blood
Vs darkness which you need 325k of if you’re going for completion
thats counting contractor and ranks that are basically useless, some aspects are wrose than zag if unleveled
Right but you’ll get enough blood for all of them by the time you do all the bounties
Darkness is a worse grind
i havent had an issue with titan blood
for now :p
The only issue I have with titans blood is not being able to get rid of it
All the ones that matter are in one area ez
Assuming your build doesn't rely on specific hermes boons, do you usually grab the 10+ obol per chamber one if you see it early, or do you prefer battle buff ones?
Which builds rely on specific hermes boons?
Generally speaking most builds work with greatest reflex for extra dashes or hypersprint -> rush delivery
I can’t think of any that wouldn’t work with one of the 2 of these
then after that if you don’t see them it kind of depends on what you’re using and the options you’re given
Sometimes it boils down to rarity for resale later
I would avoid swift strike most of the time though since it doesn’t apply to dash strikes
dont you love it when rng just screws you over and give you none of the boons you need
Maybe Rely isn't the best word, but boons that your build really likes, like Greatest Dash for Ruthless Reflex Rama or Greater Recall for Hera
And it'd suck if you missed it due to bad luck
ruthless reflex rama. greater recall hera
hell is real and it is this person's save file
Like I said, rely probably wasn't the right word
I don’t really think I would take side hustle
to answer the initial question
Although it does depend on the other options
pretty situational decision
nice, Mirage Shot at the last possible chance
ruthless reflex rama?
oh wait i should read 
True
Nice, Beowulf w/ Level 5 heroic Flood Shot and Mirage Shot
A pity Chaos wasn't cooperative
No cuz I have rerolls 
So it’s the rerolls screwing me not the rng

if ive never played a roguelite before will i suffer too much in this game 😭
If it's really too difficult for you to clear "normally", there's a god mode you can turn on to make the game easier.
So you'll be fine really.
I never thought of the game difficulty as suffering anyway.
It's fun.
I know plenty of players who never played a roguelike/-lite or even action games before who spent hundreds of hours having fun in Hades.
ty
its not cuphead s rank nor is it hollow knight P5
its p esay after 20 hours
Some of them ended up doing really challenging content in the game. Some of them ended up playing mainly with god mode on. All of them had fun.
this is definitely a great roguelite for someone who has never played roguelites before
i say as someone who had never played roguelites before this game lmao
Clear bias
ive heard legends of a man who started hades on a maxed speedrunning save file and proceeded to claim any heat modded world record for less than a day
chiron
REAL that's literally me 😭
Bruh
Hi
what percentage of ur health do fountains heal
50% max hp
just lost a 10% move speed bouldy run

how do u get 0 boons?
You cannot get 0 boons
But you can avoid boon rooms and clear three boons at the end of the region
wait so how do u clear the game while using the sisyphus keepsake?
You just do?
bruh lmao
You can have boons and still have shackle work
the only thing is if you have an attack core then your attack isn’t getting the bonus ect
same with special same with cast
With finesse. 
Or brute force.
Having a single boon doesn’t remove the effect of the keepsake
The only thing that’ll remove the bonus will be if you have like lightning strike from zeus your attack won’t be getting the bonus
👍
what boiling blood does?
Enemies that have a cast stone lodged inside of them will take +50% attack and special damage
what did i say even that
triggered that
like ???
dyno is drunk or something
anyway japanese shmups/stg are harder than hades yea
!?
Fo2 moment
Turn it down to fo1 to practice for a bit
turn it up to fo3 so you think fo2 isn’t so bad
if you have all death defiances what you usually get on patro chamber?
depends on whether or not the weapon wants attack additive
holy shi just got to asterius miniboss with EM3 first time and the sprite is amazing
i hadn't seen it yet
finally beat hades with something other than the aspect of zeus
aspect of zeus is fun
Aspect of {insert aspect here} is fun
All aspects are fun.
why does the skull earing have megs face on it?
i recently maxed her hearts and it says intense bond
what does it mean?
It means you get a chibi
She’s the one who gave you that keepsake that’s why it has the chibi under it
what does it do tho?
Nothing
oh
Purely cosmetic chibi
I have them all 
The only things I have left to do is max resource director, 64 heat, and max out fated authority
Maybe mess around and get a world record (likely not)
Your really good at this
I’ll just pull a guiness world records and make up a new category
I started this year but my switch controllers broke so yeah
I started… this year? Last year? I don’t remember
i started three days ago
I think im good at it but once i start back up i might as well just started
Nice!
see whenever I come back to a game after not playing it forever I do the opposite of be rusty
I perform better
I have to constantly do something or else i get bad at it
Except for writing it comes naturally to me
Ayeeee me too
idk if youd count the elysian realm in honkai as a rogue lite
its pretty close to hades tbh
with the door, shops weapons and stuff
I plan to start playing more rogue lite games
but its just an aspect of the larger honkai game which is a gacha and not rogue like at all
i have impulse control issues
I had one 5 star it was mona
i still pseudo play it tbh, but not enough to fall back in to bad habbits
i have all but like five characters
Nice
Why the heck am I doing a trippy flare beo run what the
Now let's see who finishes hades first with complete completion
My new controllers come the first of next month
Idk why
Asking myself the same question
Whos boons are your favorite?
No preference
Makes sense
It’s based solely on aspect
define finishes hades
Peer pressure
Have everything done basically every collected and maxed
i have hyperfixzations that make put all my time and focus into one that for like 3-6 months and then i just dont care about them, so i wouldnt bank on my getting 100%
besides i have a val addiction to keep up
bro, can i get one single good hammer for this stupid spear
I've gotten all the hammers for the spear it was the first weapon i beat redacted with too
what aspect?
Almost did with the bow but failed miserably
the one that lets you dash as the special
all but one of my clears are with the aspect of zeus
thats achilles
I need to try more aspects out
i dont remember the names unless i use it a ton
breaching skewer, vicious skewer and serrated point are all good for achilles
Have fun grinding 325000 darkness for resource director
🤨
I will
I have fun playing no matter what
got the name wrong, chain skewer cant achilles :p
ik the good ones, its just bad rng this run
You can’t even get chain skewer on achilles
Serrated point is just discount flurry jab
Vicious skewer doesn’t do much unless you just avoid using achilles gimmick
You know who id like to see in hades?
Serrated isn’t bad it’s just a cope pick
chain i know, i got the names mixed up, i meant breaching
serrated does more damage on the dash strike that is really good on the spear and the movement from the special can make up for the shorter dash
vicious applies the bonus to the charge as well
they make the attack pattern flow better imo
No no no no no
You do not want flurry and serrated
at the same time
just go for hades flaring spin
Hades spear when explosive launcher and charged skewer 
Oh vicious applies it to the rush? Then I misremembered
Still not great on account of it being regular spear special
but i mostly like vicious cos with achilles i tend to go aphro special for sweet surrender and the bonus damage on top of a thicc aphro can one shot some things
Breaching skewer is good I think on achilles althought I haven’t picked it up in a hot minute
but i guess charged would be better for it

Wait wrong reaction
whatever
can you even get charged with achilles?
You can’t get charged or explosive on achilles
idk, flurry and serrated lets you chain dash attacks into each other near endlessly
it just feels good
It’s so bad for you defensively
There's a bug between those iirc
Oh is it that
I thought it was a bug that made it bad
dash striking is better than normal attacking 90% of times
No dash range + iframes go bye bye thanks the flurry
plus it takes forever
That’s why you only grab 1 of the 2 iirc
True
Idk why you brought that up though
serrated makes flurry irellevant cos you should be dashing instead of attacking
Flurry is better than serrated
Because flurry improves your dashes without drawback
sincd you automatically standing strike immediately after dash striking with flurry
also why is hermes keep sake the only different one compared to the rest of the gods?
cos hermes has different mechanics compared to the other gods
Because hermes isn’t the same as the rest of the gods 
Because Hermes boons are different
you only get 2 hermes boons per run and they are "guaranteed" but in a weird way
i love hermes one
Just got a 2:43 asphodel exit 
find the nearest bag of coins and grab it 
True
Hmmm
I could throw any hopes of sub10 this run for tart charon bag
Or I could take a goddess I don’t really want rn
Thanks for 300 obols charon
i can already tell this run isnt going to end well
going into the hades fight with 25 hp and not amazing boons
also im still not used to using the spear lol
Same
3:07 at c8 
Left charon into sneak noo
True!
Actually this whole run is a skissue
Zeus^2 just doesn’t want to cooperare
Nooo
Uber skill issue
No rush delivery
Screw it this is a darkness farming run now
Huh
idk what about it i just dont like the spear tbh
Trade off a lvl 4 epic thunder flourish for a heroic deadly flourish with +133% additive 
I haven’t got any zeus supporting boons anyways
imma just go back to crutching aegis
Crutching?
its easily my fave weapon and makes the hades fight easy as hell
i use weapons that feel better better than the others
and it just feels good to use the aspect of zeus
it fits my playstyle
I suck at the fists
i can use the other weapons half decently, but i just love the aspect of zeus
im not even kidding when i say all my escapes but one have used the aspect of zeus
Shield is beyond broken yeah
I seriously just considered taking a trial over a midshop for the zeus boon because I have no zeus supporting boon s
What if we took Athena core boons and just made them into a weapon
I mean if you're not speedrunning you should be fine
Even speedrunning you can probably take it unless you're going for really fast times
also aspect of zues is my first and only maxed weapon atm
My time is abysmal right now I don’t want it to be worse
will hades be getting any dlc?
f
Been so for a while now
With a finished story
Are you actively tryna speedrun though
I’m trying to get back into Hades after not playing for like a month or something
i know its finished, i just feel like more gods would be fun
Mods if you’re on pc
I mean I think you can mod on console to but it’s definitely easiest on pc
pcmr
And anyways I’m pretty sure the devs were just like
“The story is finished and if we added more stuff it would be like why wasn’t any of this mentioned earlier” iirc
they could do what other games do and have a second story that takes place after the first and is locked until you completely finish the first one
There is a specific message on this discord server I just don’t remember where it is
Plus sgg has other games to work on as well
when do yall deem it necesary to reset a run
thats what im dealing with rn
Or if it’s like asphodel or elysium and you’ve a really bad time but that’s more speedrunning problems
im trying to get merciful end and every god ive gotten aside from the one i forced has been messing with my god pool
zeus dionysus and artemis dont like me this run
its really anoying
merciful end op
just did a run with it, hera bow, athena cast and ares attack
the cast triggers the doom from the attack instantly
The best part about hidden is you don’t even have to pause to think about which chamber
i like to keep betting myself to guess the type of reward
Doing a bunch of setup for another save, how much titan blood do I need in total to get every weapon's (Buyable) aspects?
306
To max them all
Not to max, no, just to have everything unlocked
oh uh
Throwing a guess out of 60
Hidden aspects cost 5 to unlock I think?
So (2+3+5)*10
Wiki confused me, iirc the first number is just the buy cost and it goes to level 4, I think, been awhile
Can't send images, sent one to you via DM
I'll see if that's enough and come back
Meant *6
You can send images
For some reason I though initial upgrade was 5 but my memory is baddd
Won't let me, probably considering I literally just joined to ask this
I'd assume a hidden flag for anti spam
Oh that'll do it, I tried to post a screenshot
Nah send image links
that’s what the image is supposed to show
The image literally has the image link getting sent in it
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046603815589269574/1046603854411730954/image.png
Using nemesis as an example, the wiki just confused me because I don't know if the first number for titan blood is the buy cost or the first level up
Buy cost = first level up
You wouldn’t unlock nemesis to have 0 levels in it
Unlocking it is the first level
a little clarification for this would be nice, maybe making the number bold and putting a footnote on it
Would be rad
I don’t make edits to the wiki even though I probably could to make the wiki more accurate
Some parts of it are 📉
As fandom wikis usually are lmao
I think I have the game knowledge to make some meaningful edits to it but idk
Did the math via the wiki, right on the money here
But
If you want the hidden aspects included in that uh
41
since you need at least 5 blood in that weapon to get that aspect
-guan-yu
41 to actually get them all since you need 5 titans blood in each other than spear to get it’s respective hidden aspect
No?
Oh wait if you need to include zag aspects
I FORGOT ABOUT ZAG ASPECTS

CAPS
either way
To get 5 titans per
you’ll need 46 at least
Could be 2 levels in the zag spect could be levels in other aspects
