Drunken dash is kind of meh but I think nyaanyaa will correct me if I say that

rocky panther
#

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?

twilit lodge
#

Stop losing to him

#

In my experience if you lose the final fight he often doesn’t show up at home after

rocky panther
#

have beaten him several times

rustic vale
#

When I said IDK where it lands I didn’t not mean it in the literal game sense

rose trench
#

well time to get a static discharge

rustic vale
#

I meant in terms of power since I personally think it’s a cope pick

twilit lodge

#

If only there were any of those here

#

In terms of sound effects it’s definitely at least A tier

rustic vale
#

Because it scales well like every hangover boon

#

But it applies horrendously

rose trench
#

damn aphrodite call does a lot of damage

rustic vale
#

Maxing a call bouldy

#

Most of the time it’s better to just spam the minicalls

dio dash bad

#

don’t take it

rustic vale
#

I mean I figure that but I also have a curse of Nyaanyaa Mewmew being able to correct everything I saw so

rose trench
rustic vale
#

Yesp

#

Extremely

#

Zeus and dio are the good dps calls

#

It’s also good for spamming defensive calls like athena amd aphro

vital tapir
#

smair bad with aphro call though

#

charm against bosses is just so unreliable

rustic vale
#

charm against bosses is good enough

twilit lodge
#

Still good for survivability

snow skiff
#

it would be the same if you skipped c34

rocky panther
#

does hades only have 3 phases in EM4?

#

im running EM3 rn for the elysium achievement and about to fight dad

rustic vale
#

Each level in em only affects 1 boss fight

lean timber
#

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?

Agreed

Smair + Aphrodite's Aid carries.

dusky cypress
#

"foes"

omg I'm a moron, CP1/2 applies to bosses (EM4/champions/whatever)

vital tapir
#

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

dusky cypress
#

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?

#

(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 ._.

chiron counts as "chamber rewards" (life affirmation)?

dusky cypress
#

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?)

high island
#

Nice.

#

TD2 probably shouldn't be a problem.

dusky cypress
#

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

#

#

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

rustic vale
#

There aren’t many sub 5 runs tbh

brisk trail
#

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

rustic vale
#

All the sub 5 runs are either seeded, modded, or both

brisk trail
#

ok

rustic vale
#

Unseeded unmodded record is 5:16

#

Tbh my sub10 run is likely dumb luck I’m not really sure if I can help you

brisk trail
#

wait so sub 10 is actually very hard?

rustic vale
#

It’s hard if you have a skill issue

#

Also start running fo2 em2 it will make you faster

brisk trail
#

but i wanna ddo 0 heat

rustic vale
#

Why? It’s slower

brisk trail
#

it is??

rustic vale
brisk trail
#

ok ill try fo2

#

im p sure i can do fo4

rustic vale
#

“Also start running fo2 em2** it will make you faster**”

brisk trail
#

why em2?

rustic vale
#

Em2 makes lernie heads closer together so lernie fight becomes faster

brisk trail
#

wtf actually??

rustic vale
#

fo2 makes enemies come to you sooner and makes waves spawn sooner iirc

brisk trail
#

ngl never thought of that

rustic vale
#

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

rustic vale
brisk trail
#

no i just didnt know all these ingenious details

#

ill start doing fo2 and em2 then

#

thx

rustic vale
#

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

rustic vale
#

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

icy knoll
#

forgot to turn off ping bouldy

#

learn the optimal speedrun build and keepsake route for your aspect too, decision-making is half the battle

dull niche
#

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

#

i've only taken aphro call as a cope pick

high island
#

I mean results don't make something good, but they're proof.

sweet prism
#

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

high island
#

There were a few balance changes in the first few months but no new content.

sweet prism
#

ah fair enough, ty

dusky cypress
#

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)

white path
#

Just listened to Eurydice for a full hour lol

dusky cypress
#

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)

high island
#

Nice.

#

Now do HL5 LC4. squirtnya

white path
#

Did the bone hydra with 255 max hp lol
I'm new how easy is it to get that high hp?

rustic vale
#

but boons and poms are generally more useful

brisk trail
#

i think max u can get is 400 hp

rustic vale
#

max is not 400hp

brisk trail
#

at least thats the highest i ever got

rustic vale
#

wdym

brisk trail
#

wait what is the max then

rustic vale
#

oh your personal record for hp

white path
#

Thought so but it was fun.
Also Chaos's boon for more hp

rustic vale
#

I mean there is a theoretical max that idk and then probably a haelian video where he gets like 700 or 800+ Iirc

#

found it

high island
#

There's no max HP cap per se, just limited by how many Centaur Hearts and Souls you can possibly find in a run.

rustic vale
#

the only limit is chambers

Abyssal? Chaos boons where the penalty is +400% trap damage

sturdy nimbus
#

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

raw herald
#

Spread fire doesn’t affect the empowered shot at all

sturdy nimbus
#

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

raw herald
#

Do you have fiery presence

sturdy nimbus
#

yeah

raw herald
#

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

sturdy nimbus

huh saderthink

Warning about epic games. They have deleted my cloud save twice. So I bought the game on steam.

Never heard of that issue before

brisk trail
#

why is pride better than legacy

#

isnt it v hard to get duos without legacy

latent moon
#

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

latent moon
#

Legacy allows for more consistency

rustic vale
#

That just ain’t true

#

Rarity ends up mattering a whole lot more than duos and legendaries for most builds

brisk trail

#

bruh what actually

signal aspen
#

no

rustic vale
#

It’s not easier to get duos without legacy

signal aspen
#

sometimes it is

rustic vale
#

It’s just that it’s not as worth it compared to pride

rustic vale
signal aspen
#

legacy is actually -10% duo legendary chance

rustic vale
brisk trail
#

but i always prioritise duos like they're the core part of my runs

#

i cant live without them

rustic vale
#

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

brisk trail
#

bruh but what if i just end up not getting the duo i want

#

im just gon try pride now

rustic vale
#

You have a decent chance without it

latent moon
#

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

tepid light
#

No clearly any run is made 1000% better if you pick up stubborn roots

latent moon
#

Fair

#

Oh I didn't send my hesty run here oops lol

#

if you dont use either you'll get it in tart

rustic vale
#

Route mirage shot c2

latent moon
#

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

you can get sunken treasure multiple times iirc

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

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

rustic vale

#

it's dealing ~230 per hit, 500 something if pressure points decides to collaborate

do you have hunter's dash

i'm bad at it

I must be misremembering

#

dstrike is 125

rustic vale
#

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

latent moon
#

hades knowledge should be 2nd nature tbh smh

#

what a fraud

rustic vale
#

If dstrike is 125 and you have heroic aphrodite strike + perfect shot you should be doing way more than 230

livid pulsar
#

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

latent moon
#

166-176% for lvl 5 heroic heart break strike

latent moon
#

so i'm just assuming the 230 damage is from nonpower shots

livid pulsar
#

it's cos im bad at it

latent moon

if im dashing around i cant power shot

and that's good damage

#

Dash into strike charge it to full

livid pulsar
#

isn't that the thing i should look out for

latent moon
#

yes

rustic vale
#

perfect shot should open up that window

latent moon
#

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

those things are unrelated afaik

#

skelly statue is just that, the statue (which is still amazing to get anyways dusa)

lean timber
# livid pulsar like, it is glowing why it's not power shotting

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

rustic vale
lean timber
#

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

How fast am I walking to be rendered unconscious by a lampost

Fair point

lean timber

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

high island

#

Related rates kinda fun

#

Easier than some of the other calc stuff

lean timber
#

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.

talking about me overhere

#

i get way too much duo's in tart no cap. once i even got splitting bolt in tart DB_freezer_skull

#

🤝

#

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.

twilit lodge
#

Y’all know each other or is tree just being weirdly aggressive to a rando again

#

Carry on

sharp thistle
#

i am not.

#

where ?

latent moon
#

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

rustic vale
#

Because pride is just better

latent moon
#

that wont stop me from running legacy on beo lmao

royal fern
#

yo

#

is breaching slash better than furry slasj?

latent moon
#

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

lean timber
#

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

high island
#

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".

rustic vale

rustic vale
#

Empty dashes thanthink

latent moon
#

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

lean timber
#

big distinction

#

but yeah i understand that at least

twilit lodge
#

Solution never play sword

tepid light
#

unless it's arthur

#

arthur at least gives you haha big numbers

final wharf
#

is there a way to be able to gift than more

#

i wanna get afro favour

lean timber
#

you have to do than's favor first troll_face

lean timber
#

i forget what it is

final wharf
#

which means gigting him

#

gifting him

#

just beat him

#

thats it

lean timber
#

oh that's ez

final wharf
#

but i cant find him in the house

#

rarley

#

i need to progress hearts more

lean timber
#

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

final wharf
#

run to him and spam gift?

lean timber
#

like after an encounter

#

yeah he'll stop and wait to talk to you sometimes

#

before he goes

final wharf
#

ok

#

no mods u know of?

stoic spoke
#

Does anyone know why the switch version isnt on sale like the steam version?

#

bruh wtf can the butterfly ball teleport with middle management

#

it just completely avoided than

#

i hate this

rustic vale
#

Yeah it teleports with mm

livid pulsar
#

than needs more hermes boons his attack is too slow

rustic vale
#

Than needs hyper sprint rush delivery he doesn’t do enough damage

latent moon
#

also it doesn't technically teleport, it just moves very fast lol

#

if it teleported, any status conditions would be removed when it reappears

rustic vale
#

Rupture time

high island
#

It won't teleport back to back. So you'd summon Than after a teleport.

lean timber
cyan jolt

Holy moly

#

Aspect of eris is op

#

If i had gotten rocket bomb earlier i easily could have gotten sub 10

high island
#

What was your clear time?

cyan jolt
#

12:10

#

But I also had em4 on

#

And extra foes

faint prairie
#

just cleared heat 4

42 attempts in total

crude sorrel
#

anyone else experiencing input lag with controller? (on pc)

high island
#

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.

crude sorrel
#

just feels like the button I press does nothing

#

even in menu & confirming something like a boon or going next dialog

high island
crude sorrel
#

fixed it myself, works now with some adjustments in Nvidia control panel 🙂

faint prairie
#

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

high island
#

Just unfortunate angles and hitbox interactions, pretty much.

faint prairie
#

f

#

how do yall farm gems and the orb things?

livid pulsar
#

orb?

#

you mean nectar? or darkness?

faint prairie
#

darkness

#

i got this game like two days ago lol

livid pulsar
#

use the dark thirst weapon every time

faint prairie
#

nectar is easy so far imo

#

but im trying to max my mirror

livid pulsar
#

eventually you'll get something called darker thirst from the contractor that also makes it give gemstones

twilit lodge
#

It boosts gemstones doesn’t give them 🤓

livid pulsar
#

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

twilit lodge
#

To get more darkness use the glowing purple weapon, aim for chaos, and also Poseidon for oceans bounty and sunken treasure

livid pulsar
#

but mostly, be patient, it's intended to take long

twilit lodge
#

Also the story room in Tartarus can give darkness

livid pulsar
#

you'll eventually get to a point where mirror stuff costs 2k-4k darkness

twilit lodge
#

And fishing in Chaos gives fish that you can turn in for darkness

faint prairie
#

im not really a patient person lol

livid pulsar
#

well that's the wrong game then 🤓

faint prairie
#

kinda one of my biggest issues

twilit lodge
#

That’s not the game’s problem

faint prairie
#

nah i love the game

#

its just i like to optimize and find the fastest way

twilit lodge
#

Dyno moment

livid pulsar
#

bruh what language bot

twilit lodge
#

You said a bad word

faint prairie
#

i rarely have time to play games anymore so i kinda tend to try and rush things

twilit lodge
#

Pretty simple to understand

livid pulsar
#

wait i cant say 𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖙

twilit lodge
#

You probably shouldn’t bypass the filter either

livid pulsar
faint prairie
#

thx lol

livid pulsar
#

what gets annoying to farm is titan blood

twilit lodge
#

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

livid pulsar
#

thats counting contractor and ranks that are basically useless, some aspects are wrose than zag if unleveled

twilit lodge
#

Right but you’ll get enough blood for all of them by the time you do all the bounties

#

Darkness is a worse grind

faint prairie
#

i havent had an issue with titan blood

livid pulsar
#

for now :p

rustic vale
#

The only issue I have with titans blood is not being able to get rid of it

umbral summit
#

Oh god

rustic vale
#

All the ones that matter are in one area ez

umbral summit
#

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?

rustic vale
#

Which builds rely on specific hermes boons?

#

Generally speaking most builds work with greatest reflex for extra dashes or hypersprint -> rush delivery

rustic vale
#

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

faint prairie
#

dont you love it when rng just screws you over and give you none of the boons you need

umbral summit
#

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

lean timber
#

ruthless reflex rama. greater recall hera

#

hell is real and it is this person's save file

umbral summit
#

Er, not Rama, got the names mixed up

#

Gilgamesh

rustic vale
#

Gilgamesh not hera rely on specific hermes boons

#

It’s just some are more useful

umbral summit
#

Like I said, rely probably wasn't the right word

rustic vale
#

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

umbral summit
#

nice, Mirage Shot at the last possible chance

mint coral
#

oh wait i should read bouldy

umbral summit
#

Nice, Beowulf w/ Level 5 heroic Flood Shot and Mirage Shot

#

A pity Chaos wasn't cooperative

twilit lodge
#

So it’s the rerolls screwing me not the rng

rustic vale
#

Rerolls screwing you is rng

#

god mode is fr crazy

#

u can literally just stand still during hades laser

high island
stoic spoke
#

if ive never played a roguelite before will i suffer too much in this game 😭

high island
#

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.

brisk trail
#

ty

brisk trail
#

its p esay after 20 hours

high island
#

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.

dull niche
#

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

#

how do u get 0 boons?

slate plinth
#

You cannot get 0 boons

#

But you can avoid boon rooms and clear three boons at the end of the region

royal fern
#

wait so how do u clear the game while using the sisyphus keepsake?

royal fern
rustic vale
#

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

high island
#

Or brute force.

rustic vale
royal fern
#

ohhh alr

#

thanks bro

rustic vale
#

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

rustic vale
acoustic cosmos
#

what boiling blood does?

raw herald
#

Enemies that have a cast stone lodged inside of them will take +50% attack and special damage

old dawn
#

what did i say even that

#

triggered that

#

like ???

#

dyno is drunk or something

#

anyway japanese shmups/stg are harder than hades yea

dusky solar
#

im thinking about going back into hades but idk...

#

still have FO2 PTSD

rustic vale
latent moon
#

Turn it down to fo1 to practice for a bit

vital tapir
#

turn it up to fo3 so you think fo2 isn’t so bad

livid pulsar
#

if you have all death defiances what you usually get on patro chamber?

rustic vale
#

depends on whether or not the weapon wants attack additive

livid pulsar
#

holy shi just got to asterius miniboss with EM3 first time and the sprite is amazing

#

i hadn't seen it yet

faint prairie
#

finally beat hades with something other than the aspect of zeus

dusky solar
#

aspect of zeus is fun

rustic vale
#

Aspect of {insert aspect here} is fun

livid pulsar
#

all aspects are fun

#

except guan yu

rustic vale
#

All aspects are fun.

faint prairie
#

why does the skull earing have megs face on it?

#

i recently maxed her hearts and it says intense bond

#

what does it mean?

rustic vale
#

It means you get a chibi

#

She’s the one who gave you that keepsake that’s why it has the chibi under it

faint prairie
#

what does it do tho?

rustic vale
#

Nothing

faint prairie
#

oh

rustic vale
#

Purely cosmetic chibi

gray moth
#

Their super cute lookin

#

Thats there real reason to get em

rustic vale
#

The real reason to get them is completionism

#

💪

gray moth
#

That too

#

I have Charons and Thanatos's

rustic vale
#

I have them all shadesmile

#

The only things I have left to do is max resource director, 64 heat, and max out fated authority

gray moth
#

I believe in upu

#

You*

#

Im trying to get hypnos

rustic vale
gray moth
#

Your really good at this

rustic vale
#

I’ll just pull a guiness world records and make up a new category

gray moth
#

I started this year but my switch controllers broke so yeah

rustic vale
#

I started… this year? Last year? I don’t remember

faint prairie
#

i started three days ago

gray moth
#

I think im good at it but once i start back up i might as well just started

gray moth
rustic vale
#

see whenever I come back to a game after not playing it forever I do the opposite of be rusty

#

I perform better

gray moth
#

I have to constantly do something or else i get bad at it

faint prairie
#

its also my first rogue lite game

#

kinda

gray moth
#

Except for writing it comes naturally to me

gray moth
faint prairie
#

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

gray moth
#

I plan to start playing more rogue lite games

faint prairie
#

but its just an aspect of the larger honkai game which is a gacha and not rogue like at all

gray moth
#

Yeah

#

I used to play genshin but stopped

faint prairie
#

ive spent 3k on genshin lol

#

i had to quit for my own safety

gray moth
#

Im a f2p

#

Aka poor

faint prairie
#

i have impulse control issues

gray moth
#

I had one 5 star it was mona

faint prairie
#

i still pseudo play it tbh, but not enough to fall back in to bad habbits

#

i have all but like five characters

gray moth
#

Nice

rustic vale
#

Why the heck am I doing a trippy flare beo run what the

gray moth
#

Now let's see who finishes hades first with complete completion

#

My new controllers come the first of next month

rustic vale
#

Asking myself the same question

gray moth
#

Whos boons are your favorite?

rustic vale
#

No preference

gray moth
#

Makes sense

rustic vale
#

It’s based solely on aspect

gray moth
#

On a plain zagreus aspect

#

For the spear

faint prairie
#

define finishes hades

latent moon
faint prairie
#

aspect of zeus best aspect

#

its stupid easy to use

gray moth
faint prairie
#

ah

#

im not much of a completionist

gray moth
#

Me neither

#

But hades is something that if i don't complete I'll feel wrong

faint prairie
#

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

gray moth
#

Same tbh except for like hmmmm

#

Pokemon

#

Black butler

#

Mythology and history

faint prairie
#

bro, can i get one single good hammer for this stupid spear

gray moth
#

I've gotten all the hammers for the spear it was the first weapon i beat redacted with too

gray moth
#

Almost did with the bow but failed miserably

faint prairie
#

the one that lets you dash as the special

faint prairie
livid pulsar
#

thats achilles

gray moth
#

I need to try more aspects out

faint prairie
#

i dont remember the names unless i use it a ton

livid pulsar
#

breaching skewer, vicious skewer and serrated point are all good for achilles

rustic vale
gray moth
#

I have fun playing no matter what

livid pulsar
faint prairie
rustic vale
#

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

gray moth
#

You know who id like to see in hades?

faint prairie
#

i just want flurry jab or serrated point tbh

#

or both

rustic vale
livid pulsar
faint prairie
#

they make the attack pattern flow better imo

rustic vale
#

You do not want flurry and serrated

#

at the same time

livid pulsar
#

just go for hades flaring spin

rustic vale
#

Hades spear when explosive launcher and charged skewer zagluv

rustic vale
#

Still not great on account of it being regular spear special

livid pulsar
#

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

rustic vale
#

Breaching skewer is good I think on achilles althought I haven’t picked it up in a hot minute

livid pulsar
#

but i guess charged would be better for it

livid pulsar
#

can you even get charged with achilles?

rustic vale
#

You can’t get charged or explosive on achilles

faint prairie
#

it just feels good

rustic vale
latent moon
#

There's a bug between those iirc

#

Oh is it that

#

I thought it was a bug that made it bad

livid pulsar
#

dash striking is better than normal attacking 90% of times

rustic vale
#

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

rustic vale
#

Idk why you brought that up though

livid pulsar
#

serrated makes flurry irellevant cos you should be dashing instead of attacking

rustic vale
#

Flurry is better than serrated

#

Because flurry improves your dashes without drawback

#

sincd you automatically standing strike immediately after dash striking with flurry

faint prairie
#

also why is hermes keep sake the only different one compared to the rest of the gods?

livid pulsar
#

cos hermes has different mechanics compared to the other gods

rustic vale
latent moon
#

Because Hermes boons are different

livid pulsar
#

you only get 2 hermes boons per run and they are "guaranteed" but in a weird way

faint prairie
#

i love hermes one

raw herald
#

Just got a 2:43 asphodel exit bouldy

latent moon
#

Based

#

Don't throw

raw herald
#

Already threw

#

5:13

latent moon
#

Oh

#

Could be worse

livid pulsar
#

find the nearest bag of coins and grab it dusa

latent moon
#

True

rustic vale
#

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

faint prairie
#

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

rustic vale
#

Left charon into sneak noo

faint prairie
#

yeppppppppp

#

i died

rustic vale
#

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

faint prairie
#

idk what about it i just dont like the spear tbh

rustic vale
#

Trade off a lvl 4 epic thunder flourish for a heroic deadly flourish with +133% additive thanthink

#

I haven’t got any zeus supporting boons anyways

faint prairie
#

imma just go back to crutching aegis

rustic vale
#

Crutching?

faint prairie
#

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

gray moth
#

I suck at the fists

faint prairie
#

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

swift inlet
#

Shield is beyond broken yeah

rustic vale
#

I seriously just considered taking a trial over a midshop for the zeus boon because I have no zeus supporting boon sshadegrief

swift inlet
#

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

rustic vale
#

there it is

#

No jolted but we take double strike I guess

faint prairie
#

also aspect of zues is my first and only maxed weapon atm

rustic vale
faint prairie
#

will hades be getting any dlc?

rustic vale
#

Nope

faint prairie
#

f

rustic vale
#

Not f

#

it’s a finished game

swift inlet
#

Been so for a while now

rustic vale
#

With a finished story

swift inlet
rustic vale
faint prairie
#

i know its finished, i just feel like more gods would be fun

rustic vale
#

Mods if you’re on pc
I mean I think you can mod on console to but it’s definitely easiest on pc

faint prairie
#

pcmr

rustic vale
#

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

faint prairie
#

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

rustic vale
#

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

faint prairie
#

when do yall deem it necesary to reset a run

rustic vale
#

Abysmal tartarus rng is really the only time

#

imp

faint prairie
#

thats what im dealing with rn

rustic vale
#

Or if it’s like asphodel or elysium and you’ve a really bad time but that’s more speedrunning problems

faint prairie
#

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

livid pulsar
#

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

rustic vale
#

The best part about hidden is you don’t even have to pause to think about which chamber

livid pulsar
#

i like to keep betting myself to guess the type of reward

reef rose
#

Doing a bunch of setup for another save, how much titan blood do I need in total to get every weapon's (Buyable) aspects?

reef rose
#

Not to max, no, just to have everything unlocked

rustic vale
#

oh uh

#

Throwing a guess out of 60

#

Hidden aspects cost 5 to unlock I think?

#

So (2+3+5)*10

reef rose
#

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

rustic vale
#

Wait nevermind

#

36 to unlock all non-zagspects I believe

reef rose
rustic vale
#

Meant *6

#

You can send images

#

For some reason I though initial upgrade was 5 but my memory is baddd

reef rose
#

I'd assume a hidden flag for anti spam

#

Oh that'll do it, I tried to post a screenshot

rustic vale
#

The image literally has the image link getting sent in it

reef rose
rustic vale
#

Buy cost = first level up

#

You wouldn’t unlock nemesis to have 0 levels in it

#

Unlocking it is the first level

reef rose
#

a little clarification for this would be nice, maybe making the number bold and putting a footnote on it

rustic vale
#

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 📉

reef rose
#

As fandom wikis usually are lmao

rustic vale
#

I think I have the game knowledge to make some meaningful edits to it but idk

reef rose
rustic vale
#

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

rustic vale
#

No?

#

Oh wait if you need to include zag aspects

#

I FORGOT ABOUT ZAG ASPECTS shadegrief shadegrief shadegrief shadegrief shadegrief

#

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
