i meant heroic not legendary whoops
still, can only get heroic through those 3 cases
yarn will still increase chance for legendary/duos tho
You… don’t have to use all your revives on one boss?
Plus there are numerous ways to get your dd’s back
Charon wells
Athena boons
Patroclus
If every chamber was equal difficulty and equally likely to kill you, then SD would be great. However, chamber difficulty is very lopsided, so being able to have multiple stronger revives in a single chamber is much more useful
SD’s main utility comes from being your main healing with lc4 tbh
Hades is usually the hardest fight in a run, and if you have 3 DDs that's more than 150% extra effective HP
first half of the sentence is basically high heat 
no healing + whatever benefit package decides to mess with you do be scary
I don’t remember the last time I played Hades
Time to be rusty
Nyx telling me some bs about achieving the mirrors full power sooner then expected
I guess I finally caved last time I played and maxed fated authority
authority gaming
How do u gift thanatos
I met him twice and there was no option to despiye me having nectar
He'll eventually start showing up in the house after you encounter him on escapes enough times
Murder him
meet him at the house and pray he isnt talking to someone else
He was talking to Achilles but he hasn’t showed up fully anywhere lol
Ah gotcha
Also gift him before you talk to him when you see him alone
Yeah ikik
Sometimes he teleports away at the end of the conversation
Ig it’s time for
Try to do funny flurry slash meme run
Dusa taught me well
Not hoarding slash meme run?
No shot
Flurry slash c1
I already did hoarding slash meme run a while back
But I’ve been striving for heroic swift strike zag sword flurry slash
God flurry slash by itself is horrid
Rng manipulating for +10% movespeed bouldy
It’s necessary
I'm trying to do a no core boon run for Hades's alternate voice line, and I'm hoping to get a cooperative pool in Styx
Hades has an alternate line if you have none of the 5 main boons when you fight him
Have to minimize your boons, then sell them before fighting Hades
I thought if you had no boons of any kind
He only checks your main boons for the line
So there is one for no purgable boons and one for no cores
oh
Is what you’re saying?
Screw it we take +3% movespeed, a win is a win
Actually
Noooooo
Rng manipulation doesn’t work for next chamber I am in shambles
both are good
They’re both decent
One gives a suitable amount of gemstones on boss kill
The other lets you access erebus gates if you have the heat to, which have better rewards then normal chambers but only if you clear hitless
I would say erebus gate first because iirc they boost the rewards that you get so they'll be better than normal rooms in terms of rewards but they re a lot harder
If you care about getting codex completed you need erebus
ye i dont clear hitless at all
i mean biome one sure
i guess
maybe 2
the gems are good for completing the house contractor
Nevermind I literally just can’t deal with flurry zag sword it’s so ew to use 
getting rerolls from keys is good
i'd get that or vanquisher's keep first
the gems you get adds up a good amount
Foresight or
Aight
Spreadfire zagrail boonless time
Oh wait
The real make or break of boonless is styx tunnels
They’ll be fine
authority and hope you get a low sack
Usually you have leftover rolls still
Aight
You’ll probably need 1-2 rolls for Tart and 1-2 rolls for Aspho, in Ely it’s all 2 exits except 1 room, unless you get into a tight situation you might not even need a roll there
C8
Purple strike from chaos (pretty sure thats ok for dad dialogue)
1:12.28
Spreadfire zag w/shackle
zooming
Just rerolled 5 times only to be force to take athena 
f
If you just want the Dad dialogue you can also take stuff like Vintage, Nourished soul etc lol
remember that you can still sell stuff afterwards
Forced to take dem
rta uses bp1?
Idk
isn't bp1 a scam if you get bad perks lmao
I know bp1 because it makes armoured enemies spawn earlier yeah?
It was tested for a while but it’s not worth it overall
yeah that's what i figured
I mean
Spreadfire zag is killing things with minimal issue
For now
Sub20 second meg fight
+163% strike damage pushing damage high
Any tips for elysium and the elysium boss?
That’s my only roadblock in this game so far
Focus fire 1 of the pair
If you're still learning the fight, I suggest killing Asterius first, on the opposite side of the arena from Thesius
Hide behind pillars when he's targeting you (or just move laterally if you have movement speed or lots of dashes)
Dash dash dash
Save any damaging keepsakes or calls for when Theseus goes into phase 2
Can often kill him instantly if you have a greater call and a keepsake
by keepsake you mean companion yeah
yeah, that
than is geat for killing him off as well
really?
Yup
I may try it out
Than is good for that fight specifically since they stay still for predictable amounts of time
Meg is good in general
Than is too slow
Meg is better for the rest of the run, though
I mean than is fine for heroes fight specifically because it’s like the entire arena that it hits
I just have than to deal with hades and theseus
Thanatos is also overkill on most enemies
Either overkills their shield or phase changes and wastes damage
Only Heroes and Hades have enough HP to really benefit from the higher damage
yea
and Hades jukes Thanatos much easier than he does Meg
I find it best to use than while Hades is using the laser wheel attack
for keepsakes that manipulate who gives me a boon, does that effect ones from shops too? last area?
It doesn’t affect shops
If you equip a god keepsake in styx or brought one over from ely without proking the one from ely then yes it’ll force them in styx
If you already have a god pool of 4 and you use a god keepsake, does it make it a 5th in your pool or replace one of the ones you already had?
It doesn’t replace any in your pool
A 5th in your pool
Or a 6th
Or a 7th
Or and 8th
No rerolls entering styx so
Fingers crossed 2 sack
Could also do a god boon or 2, then hope for well in last 2 tunnels instead
so what do i have to do in erebus gates?
Not take damage
first time i've found one on high enough heat
take damage once and you lose the reward
don't get hit
i got hit
well, you'll still get the reward but it's useless
now i get 1 hp
a not the
Does the physical version of the game for PS4 have the cool little booklet?
so i currently have a hera build with aphro cast, posideon attack, and dio in my pool
is there a god i should force in for asphodel
snow burst from demeter?
ah yep
or hourglass if u have anything good item wise
Yeah that is what I was doing
Any tips for the actual level tho?
dont let the exalted souls respawn
the little egg things
and attack the shield ones from behind
Ok
they always spawn facing to the right
I hate the shield mfs so much
yeah theyre annoying as hell
pinned in self promo
oh youve already joined
is your pfp real?
sadly no
lol
Bought a 300 obol Pom at the Styx shop with no boons
Got 295 obol from it
Zagreus: Stronger still.
if you have a god keepsake equipped, use it, complete the region, will it proc again for the next region too?
yo ive been trying to get the gaunlet hidden aspect but cant seem to get it no matter what is it 5 upgrades or 5 titan blood into the upgrades cause aasterius still wont say the line
Unless you didn’t pick up the god it granted, no
Just finished Hades to my satisfaction. Finished everything except high heat and the Resource Director
did u get the ending where all the gods meet up aswell?
oh nice
This was my last run, for the boonless run
i still gotta do that
166 total escapes
hi, i am new to the game
hey people i have maxed out dusa's hearts by giving her all the gifts i could but i still haven't got the scene in the bedroom i was told about, it's been about 20-25 runs and i had both meg and than in the house at the same time, to no avail
than and meg are both already maxed out, am i missing a trigger?
Did 20 x6 +32 heat, finished all journal entries, finished all subplots (as far as I can tell), finished all prophecies
Completed all work orders, filled out the mirror
Escaped at least once with every aspect and every boon/hammer
I’m working on 100% achievements and I have all except maxed out all keepsakes
I did the math and it’s gunna take another 5-6 hours of grinding…
is razor shoals or wave pounding better?
My current strat is to only do the Tartarus level because it gives you 12 level clears and all the monsters are easy and then die in the lava at the start of asphodel
Rinse and repeat
My strategy is use god keepsakes tart and asphodel to get an actual build, then use the keepsake you want to level in ely and styx
And do all tunnels if feeling froggy
Pos attack 
got forced into taking someone
Found this while searching. Aged like a fine wine.
is fated authority or persuasion better?
Persuasion
Authority only for memes and boonless runs during Styx
In general you wanna use purple mirror for everything except mirror talent 1, 9, 10, 12
so in my pursuit of avoiding spoilers in this game
i had remained unaware that theseus had guns
Blame Poseidon
why
If it’s keepsake.. ig same thing? But I don’t remember the keepsakes having rarity
Because it’s not that strong
And other keepsakes are better

i usually go pierced butterfly for the first two floors and lucky tooth for elysium and styx
cus im bad
You know when you unequip the butterfly the bonus damage goes away
Get all of the keepsakes from the Olympians
And the keepsake from Eurydice
oh lol
i have all the keepsakes except the mom
i havent beaten the game yet its hard
Using Olympian keepsakes is best for area 1 and 2 because you get to pick two gods to show up guaranteed
as i was told by about 10 different people, using olympian keepsakes to force in more gods is better than butterfly
😿
So you can actually make a build
And then for Elysium and Styx you can use the acorn so the bosses are safer
yes
ill try that
Ares is not great to use “just because”
WHAT
He’s mainly only good with a certain duo boon setup
If you’re using a weapon that hits a lot of times, Dionysus or Zeus is best for attack
oh
If you’re using a weapon that hits hard, you’re better off with Aphrodite or Artemis on attack
i like dionysus cus of the extra damage you get from the two effects thing
For your dash Athena and Poseidon are best
i like the spear the most
The two effects thing is a bad mirror choice for general use
how do you get secret aspects?
Family Favorite gives you damage that is always active and has no requirements
i like the flurry jab
flurry jab is good
my favourite is the bow, it's got two really good aspects
and idk about the secret yet
Check pins in #h1-story-discussion
i use the first aspect because i wasted all my blood on the stupid sword
thanks
can someone actually explain underworld customs for me?
i dont get it from the wiki or in game
You have to purge a boon in the room after a boss
To keep playing
So you have to sell one
what’s that
Have you ever opened a pool of purging?
It’s not really worth using at low heat unless you’re doing a boonless run or something
It’s not that bad
How often do you have to take boons that don’t really help, after all? Easily every run
Which guide?
Nvm I know which one
As long as you’re using dark foresight you’ll be fine
Don’t sell off cores if you still need to get your duo though
Open core slots means you are guaranteed to get one core boon each offering
Less chance of duos
for thunder fluorish on zeus aspect, does thunder come down every instance of damage, or only when i catch / throw shield?
hmm, thanks
i think im gonna keep drunken then
Zeus special on Zeus shield is a very strong build
The pulses are slow enough that the cooldown isn’t an issue
the last 3 times i've started going for a merciful end build i've forced ares and athena has shown up within 2 chambers
That’s good luck
yea
I like how the wiki doesn't mention that skelly's favor is a prank
it did for a time I think
does cthonic keys fated work with fated persuasion also?
Yes
When you only have 3 core boons and still win😎
can you continue to stack on lambent plume in styx after finding the sack?
yes
Yes
big number
why cant i go back to greece?? i want to fish after the mini end game
you can still get overworld fish after bringing back persephone due to the small ponds of water in the final bosses arena.
start a new save file lmao
wdym
well its wonderful going to green pastures
and fishing areas
on surface
............
ah yeah you can't go back up there once you reach 10 wins
¯_(ツ)_/¯
because you die anyways after a period of time so it'd be a "waste of time" i guess idk
most likely that
but there are many fish spots 😦
there's 3 fishing spots in the dad fight lmao
You know you get less fish since you cant visit the fishing spot beyond dad when you finally get the ending
yeah
I wonder how a backstab build will do
kinda a pain to do because they're kinda inconsistent, but you'd still be stacking damage anyways
so itd be fine
i dunno i wanna try aspect of nemesis since she appeared in hades 2 trailer
for nem you could do heart rend, ME, or deadly reversal
wait
shadow slash doesnt work on dstrikes
aspect of nemesis isnt backstab?
no
now what
arthur
i dont have 4th aspect
ah welp
im gonna go achilles spear
oh yeah achilles can backstab easily
i have no titan blood
it do be like that
Not true because you can’t get fishing spots in the dad arena until after 10 wins
The 3 spots in Greece and the 3 spots in dad arena are the same three spots
false i got it before
Did you ever get a fish in dad’s arena and in Greece?
not both at the same time but yea
So doesn’t sound like you missed out on anything :v
I’ve never seen a fishing spot in dad room before 10th clear so
you can get them before 1 win lmao
i lost a fish in greece because i lost dad fight lmao
Guess I’m unlucky
hi yes, i am here for the bisexual gods
ohh i thought nemesis blade did backstab because nemesis crest
does lernie have no backside
nope
butterfly ball and lernie cant get backstabbed
prob some other stuff too
thwomps maybe
well thats my build out the window
there's other enemies 
i lost a dd at lernie
lernie tax
rip
I mean your build should be able to hold up despite that
^
you should still have other good sources of damage anyways
well my build is arty strike reflect flourish and 2 chaos backstab boons
what do you think
aspect?
magnet fist
ah yeah this isn't gonna end well then
more backstab on a base 10 atk isnt exactly noteworthy
its just 1 heat should be fine
yeah probably
It’s like 20 base
or 25
for fists?
I believe
it's 15 lmao
Oh yeah those too
They're a rock that shoots lasers they don't have a back lol
Arty strike fists 
https://prnt.sc/DL6bLA6stUaG Surprised top left has more % than right and bottom
using a greater call in a trial is difficult tbh
and the than one, it's not too difficult but also some people just aren't fast enough lmao
Need some proud bearing or something to pull that off
js3 as well prob
Also lots of than rooms don’t even have enough enemies
Meanwhile anyone can turn on god mode and get a clear if they bang their head against it long enough
hey is the gun good
yes
ye
lightning strike, aphrodite/artemis special
tidal dash
assuming eris or zag
or luci
Oh I love tidal dash
for hestia (assuming you have hestia at a good level), start tidal dash then pick up aphrodite atk when you see it
I should probably be in the new players chat lol
yeah probably
yes
Everything is good
Some things are just more good then others
that's true
gooder
for sea god's spite
do you need to find poseidon in the same run as you beat Theseus and Ast?
Can’t wait for Super Giant Games to team up with Epic Games and let everyone experience Zagreus default dancing
I guess you are not making progress on Hermes?
gotta encounter him while having his keepsake
lol, I never used it before the prophecy as well so I was just so confused as to why his bond progression is locked for so long
And it has to be max level
gdi
now I gotta do a bunch of fist runs
time to become speed
damn
plume doesn't proc on troves
is rush delivery any good (got plume)
Yes
how does it math out?
Best hermes boon (only if you get hyper sprint too)
does it just add your speed bonus to the damage bonus?
However fast you're moving, you deal that much extra damage
If you're moving 100% faster you're doing 100% more damage
I think
Well
100% more damage assuming epic rd
If it's common, 100% faster is 50% more damage
Nyoom
I'm also rolling for merciful end but it just never shows up these days
Got Ath on Strike and Ares on special
:/
Holy backwards ME Batman
The % on rush delivery is how much % of your extra movespeed is used for the damage boost
Common rd is 50% of your extra movespeed
Heroic is 125% of your extra movespeed
Movespeed is multiplicative
whats a fun guan yu build?
Charged skewer + aphrodite or artemis on the special
I was about to say the very same
or quick spin massive spin pos strike sea storm
thanks guys
ME guan-yu 
is 16heat hard for guan yu?
That’s more about your skill level then about the weapon
got charged skewer on the first chamber <3
and about how you build your pact
wtf that's crazy
Since you can make some really scuffed pacts or some really nice and tidy pacts
<3
705 damage with crit chamber 3
Sure wish my phone would stop autocorrecting boons
it seems alr
died on hades lmfao
My 10 year old brother is fighting Meg this is hilarious 😂
did 3-4 runs, lambent is maxed
I got a run where I wound up with Quick Delivery, Hyper Sprint, ME and Curse of Longing, as well as Greater Haste
im thinking about getting hades, is it worth it?
I say yes
Yeah
Hades is one of my favorite games that I've ever played due to all of aspects of it and I think all of the awards it has won is well deserved
oh ok im gonna get it!
is it ok if i dm u with questions about the game if i have any later?
go ahead! you can also ask your questions here in the server as well and you'll still be able to avoid spoilers, for the most part
okk
I would say yes
It’s taken like over 300 hours from me at this point so I figure it has to be somewhat good y’know
okk
i just got it
So I know Artemis requires ambrosia for her last heart, do the other Olympian gods require ambrosia as well?
I bought the game for my brother
nor just gods but for everyone
Ok, thanks!
It's funny how weak is zagreus without the help of gods
Who can he even beat on his own
Hades
He would die against some random mini boss
Uhh
Started playing the game again and almost won against Hades on my third try cuz i got the healing boon for the sword.Too bad i didn't have enough health.
It's crazy how good that boon is
i am pissed
when i was doing to lyre sidequest i was always one off so when i return and was going to play once before going i hear a new sound
it happened twice now
out of the two possible times
ya
hello everyone
hello
Hellooo
Hiya
I feel like I know you from somewhere 👁️
I already have 1 key, should i save it and get a better wepon or get the bow?
well he's not exactly a fully-fledged mature god, he leans more towards a juvenile one that doesn't even know what his godly powers are, not to mention what "god of" he is
He also grew up in a very unhealthy environment.
His dad constantly scolds and shuns him, he gets assigned to do a job that he's very much not suited to and gets fired, he had a very rough and bumpy romantic relationship with meg, etc.
If zag didn't discover that letter from Persephone, he'd be doing nothing on the house and just gets scolded by dad for any reason he can or cannot find.
it's amazing, esp in conjunction with ||the athena/demeter boon that gives you regen if you have no death defiance|| (minor spoilers about one of the gods that appears)
i just got nector for my first ever time, who do u guys recon i should give it to?
im in the shop rn
Hypnos is a good first gift
Hmmmm 
Definitely feels like Hades is a step above all the bosses prior to him
I keep getting to him but then dying, sometimes not even before getting him to phase 2
I've beaten him once and the build was truly godly (and now im using EM1 and cant seem to kill him again)
Quesiton - am I able to get the 2-heat rewards before I collect all the 1-heat rewards for a given weapon?
No
If you do 2 heat while you have 1 heat rewards left, you'll get the 1 heat bounties
Is there a way to force the Achilles Hidden Spear aspect interaction? I killed myself 20 times and it just never showed up. I invested 3 levels into the Aspect of Hades spear
No
you need to unlock 5 aspects i thought
so you dont meet the prereqs
It’s 5 aspects for gy, not 5 titans blood in the weapon
for me, theseus and asterius is the step up
Tiny Vermin solos all three of them
You can beat the game w/o boons. I think the mirror is Zagreus' powers.
that's Nyx's power
Considering the mirror has two faces and is said to reveal Zag's true powers, I read it as what he inherited from both chtonian and olympian lineage, but is his to keep
did that and the next time I reseted I got the interaction
thanks for helping
i have 5 keys right now, and i am using the bow. Do i buy a new wepon or should i get the next mirror thing with the keys?
if anyone can pls help that would be great 🙂
I mean it's pretty simple
do you like the bow?
If you like the bow then feel free to focus on the mirror
^^^
you can unlock the weapons fairly quickly
do the wepons get better the more keys the cost?
also when do wepons go into the empty wepon spaces? or do i need to get all the wepons before them
no, the increasing cost is only there to give the player a sense of progression
while it is possible to upgrade weapons, the key cost doesn't necessarily mean they're better
It’s not correlated
as you unlock more weapons, new ones will appear in the empty spaces
oke
I wouldn't say any weapon is particularly better than the others, they all have a different playstyle
so whatever fits your playstyle should be the "strongest"
ok
the weapons are split between top half and bottom half lol
each run one weapon will be chosen at random to receive extra darkness, so it might be worth it to switch even if it's not your "favorite"
but they're all pretty viable anyways
I've always been running whatever weapon has Dark Thirst until only recently
my game just really loves giving it to the 5th weapon for some reason, which makes my run count on it the highest amongst all weapons by like 15%
https://prnt.sc/IUfgeqPbofMV SECOND EVER CLEAR LETS GO
Charged shot practically singlehandedly won me the run, blitz disc def helped tho
Cshot moment
nice job! 👍
which weap is the run done with
I should maybe try to play something else besides bow today
Shield + athena is a super easy clear
how do i get the final 2 wepons to appear in there places?
Have you bought the bow yet
I somehow just killed asterius & theseus on the same frame
Blitz disc is my fav so far but I only have 4 clears total
It's so much fun and with thunder on the special it's absolutely nuts
I prefer minotaur rush + quick charge, charged shot is good but something about it is just weird that I can't explain
should i give my nector to hades, zeus or posidon?
Zeus and poseidon give keepsakes for the first nectar, they're my two favorites for boons too
okk
Also, does acquiring more boons from a certain god make it more likely that more from that same god will appear later on?
no
I feel like it's a yes but not sure
no
Bunch of things you can do
Keep leveing up your stuff, pick better synergizing boons , play better, get luckier
Just play better 4head
I mean a few of my first deaths to certain bosses were just because I wasn't familiar with their moveset
Is hades ur fav game of all time
bro
i am trying my best
i keep dying at the champs fight
You didn't fight the golden armor champs with tornados and rockets yet
?
I got stuck there for a while too
Theus and minotaur have busted form on extreme measures 3
I've only done EM1 so far
em3 is a bit difficult lmao
not too bad once you get used to it
em2 sucks at high heat tho
yeah ranged stuff is great for em3
Who is more badass for u
Zagreus or Dante from DMC
why can't i send images here?
U can
Send image URLs
Like so
I should edit that image so the URL within it is the url of the image
Sounds like someone who joined the server a month or 2 ago
Just turn on God mode
If you manage to die with God Mode on idk
Just joking about him
Joined, asked if Hades had checkpoints or not, didn’t understand the concept of a roguelite, refunded the game and left the server
63 heat with god mode 💪
Free win
true
I get not liking roguelites but saying it’s useless because it has no checkpoints is 
The concept is very fun and unique
Especially when it's your first roguelite
But can be confusing at first
almost as if they didn't realise the very point of a roguelike/roguelite
lmao
Do you get anything if you gift Thanatos multiple times
love
also a companion you can use in battle if im not mistaken
a limited amount of times
first save run attempts on a 4k tv yay or nay
is that where you start a new game and beat it in on the first run
Triple bomb vs. Delta Chamber vs. Targeting System?
I'm forced to take Targeting system this time for prophecy
But In general, what do yall like? I've beaten my first ever run with Triple Bomb before so it does have a special place in my heart
Which rail
thats how i usually am lol. take the one that has a prophecy
makes run unpredictable sometimes
Zag, I don't like the description of the other 2 rails and havent unlocked the last (despite beating hades 3 times by now, not sure what I need to do to get that damn weapon form)
i forgot what rail i used, which ever one has the extra ammo, but i had the hammer upgrade that made it a shotgun basically, and with poseidon's boons, it made it so powerful. basically slammed enemies against the walls and did so much damage
Sf zag thougg
That’s zag rail
It makes spreadfire viable
why sword hard
ive found it really fun with the Arthur aspect
i would sooner win a run blindfolded than with arthur at 50 heat
oh idk about 50 heat lmao. i think my highest heat is only 12
my sword is only at 3
What is the best one at the mirror gods pride or legacy
Usually pride, but depends on the build
I usually get clockets
Cluster + rockets
Put 200 hours in it since I got it in Early Access.
Damn good purchase.
And that's even more than Hollow Knight
my first 32 heat clear was with zag's rail
it's pretty good
Agreed. And I love HK
I used to use Hestia Rail
hazard bomb is the most fun thing for rail
the first 4 is free on GY practically since it already slashes your healing down
what
y'know
the pact that reduces the effectiveness of healing
GY basically negates it
You can get fish in the overworld yeah
Going to try and do one run per day until hades 2 comes out. I want to reach max heat b4 then
64 heat has only been attained with a routed run as of right now
Unless I’m behind in hades news
Best of luck to you with that
I’ve lost my drive for playing Hades
even if I haven’t 100%ed the game yet
Resource director escapes me I still need 200k darkness
GY doesn’t make LC4 free lol
Guan-yu doesn’t slash all hp regen
Just some
I'm talking about the fact that GY's regen isn't affected by LC
Guan-Yu regen also just isn’t good though
You use guan-yu for the based special
it's situational
ideally you won't be getting hit in the first place
grab charged skewer, aph/art on the special
👍
quick spin with athena attack is great for witches
I like to have it as a backup for dealing with projectiles
Then charge spin between waves
^
Spin is viable without quickspin if you aren’t using forced overtime 2
can get you some nice regen
Ehhh
styx rooms are great for massive spin tho
esp the ones broken up into two sections
You know what else is good for witches?
Actually good builds
zag fist
Hades II. 
meg
lol, now WE are the witches
you still running fists?
Hopefully Nyaanyaa Mewmew isn’t going to correct me on everything in Hades II as well
no chance
More like “you still running fists?”
I haven't mained Malphon since Blood Price patch in early access. 
I still remember when Hades bossfight wasn't a thing
is there any way to get fish easier without the posidon boon?
Well item
styx boons
Also I've done like maybe 10 Hades runs this year.
I’m on an indefinite vacation from Hades
till I get drive to play more
Talking about the game makes me want to play it again but then picking up my switch and starting a run just doesn’t feel right
Also still the most active chatter in the server despite only chatting in Hades channels and not really playing anymore. 
If I replace a core boons will I keep my duo boon?
Yes
replacing boons doesn’t get rid of any of your other boons
But replacing a cast boon which you have a specific cast duo for will make that duo obsolete
Lightning phalanx won’t do anything if you replace divine phalanx et cetera
If that makes sense?
Ok thnku
This kind of only applies to cast specific duos though
god the spreader encounter in Asphodels in so damn annoying
I finally managed to kill Hades with the spear. Thank the gods now I will never do it again
Cthonic vitality or dark regeneration
I see a roughly equal amount of both in #h1-victory-boasting
chthonic vitality
you get a fountain after a boss anyways, and healing per room is much more consistent
and if you want to win runs, you dont want to take darkness rooms anyways
most of the people using dark regen in #h1-victory-boasting tend to be newer players
also with dark regen, once you hit styx you dont get any hp back
chthonic vitality is just way more consistent
yeah, i've found to find good mirror upgrades you're usually better to look at the people doing 50 heat clears
if anything you just ask the 50 heat clear players lol
it's a bit rough at first but it's really great for taking off 4 heat from the pact
when you stack other pacts on top of it ofc
bp2, fo2, etc
i'll probably get better at doing EM3 before i even consider using that one
that would be ideal
also, would a dio hangover build be good for zeus aspect?
if you're using lc4 you should probably be using em3, and lc4 sd needs to be good at boss fights
i mean it works
but not recommended
ah ok, what's a good build for it then?
oh ok, that makes sense
pref aphrodite atk and then zeus or dio call and hope to get smair
best hammer is explosive return
other good ones are sudden rush, ferocious guard, breaching rush
prob others im missing
oh wow that deals a lot of damage
yeah
just from the first room
oh first room damage is bugged iirc lmao
really? hadn't heard of that
how is it bugged? just higher numbers than it should be?
Fiery Presence only: Applies global first hit damage instead of just applying it to the attack and special (only in chamber 1)
well i guess you used the special anyways
so it didnt matter
true
but yeah c1 damage is bugged, which is hilarious tbh
i mean cast builds are strong to begin with
true
stuff like tdash doing a ton more damage is great for c1 lmao
breaching guard or ferocious rush? got both offered
charged shot
oh boy
cshot is strong on its own and you can probably ignore the special if you take it lmao
i just had to get 3 good ones offered
lmfao yeah
breaching less so tbh
issue here is that zeus shield wants the bull rush
i'd prefer to do a special run to fully try it out, so i'll try ferocious guard
that's fair then
this, 100%
you also eventually get the modifier upgrades that cause darkness to also increase your max HP
yeah that's neat but it's also whatever lol
i accidentally got into the habit of taking darkness over gems in speedruns because i would always need more hp, but i've recently realized that gold is more important lol
I beat hades on… z-zero heat? that has to be wrong, right?
because i cant be that new
idk what point you're trying to say lmao
true
Well, I guess they're trying to say they're new here and they beat Hades in that... Difficulty?
finally unlocked giving ambrosia to than
I'm new as well and must say I'm having fun, even if losing. Seeing those places... Somehow, I feel happy. Even happier with a certain something we can do every run. ^^
I mean, petting Cerberus.
pet cerby any%
that's not controversial
Uh...?
that's a cold take
Also, I'm finding it weird I can't find Megaera anywhere lately
rng moment
Guess she got tired of the beatdowns and let her sisters take over(?)
used all three death defied's on charon, probably not worth but i got a card
just win
also I’m tired of my runs i keep manipulating rng with my god trinkets for the same build
well then do a different build
not every aspect builds the same anyways
and some aspects can use different builds
i will in a moment
When I started I did heartrend on everything
Every deity spins around a concept.
do love myself heart rend fists
Also, I just... Couldn't stop laughing about Poseidon's rejection call
"The sea spits back, you know?"
At any rate, I usually reject "picking" rooms. They make me uncomfortable. ^^"
trials suck yeah
I mean, I'm more like "Why can't you all get along? Geez..."
But I said, I usually AVOID this kind of room.
If there's that and a room worth Gold, I'm going for Gold.
i pick whatever god is cooler in dou boon rooms not which one will help my build more
Eventually both help you and make up, so that's that.
I just saw two gimmicks, as of now.
Artemis(the aimed "ceiling terror"-esque arrows)
And Poseidon(Floor waves)
you generally pick the god that shafts you the least lmao
or you'd want to anyways
As much as there's curiosity about the others, I often avoid to make a scene.
yeah i find posideon is irritating to dodge in that one, especially in elysium. i can never keep track of his thing
athena moment
I'll only do it if it's the only option.(also, when the game does that... Shame on Daedalus.)
Literally never have seen a trial as the only door option
I don’t think it’s even possible
Happened twice on me.
yeah it's not possible
i mainly find dionysus and aphrodite and i always pick dionysus because hes the goat
the game wont force you into a trial
So... I was sort of blind to the other door.
yeah probably lmao
That sounds more likely
that can happen in tart
Some Tart rooms have two exit and one exit layouts
Easy to miss a second exit sometimes if you’re not used to double checoing
based
hades is currently my second favorite rougelike... i know its a rougelite but shhh
SGG in shambles upon hearing this news
i actually dont know what keepsake i should use, man im so carried by these gods
SGG?
supergiant games
rotation should be god->god->util/defensive->util/defensive
The.. company that made this game
Ah.
The company whose discord server we’re on
I'm not really good with acronyms.
i just dont want to use gods keepsakes this run
It’s not an acronym it’s the initials
WRONG! distant memory->distant memory->distant memory->distant memory

feather duster is ok
Feather duster works on one jar max per room
But I was being honest about the gift part - Simply, it has more mythological content than I'd ever think about.
It is in no way okay
wait really
yeah
No I’m just saying random things (/j)
ok then i got it

im running feather duster this run
also not doing extreme measures 3 that fight is... its something
Yes it only works on one jar per room
It is bad
The reason why the only suggestions you’ll get here are god keepsakes, coin purse, hourglass, acorn, sigil
Is the other keepsakes are bad
and shackle
You can use whatever you want but nobody is going to recommend a bad keepsake
haha yeah i use those
nah bro distant memory goes so hard
esp on fists
kinetic launcher
idk if it even reaches that far for it to proc lmao
full feather duster run will go crazy i promise
The feather duster at least acts like boosting your cthonic vitality mirror by 300% if you get the jar every room
Distant memory is just
Pointless
Bad
Subpar
Not detrimental, is the best thing I could say about it
Using it won’t actively make your run worse (other than due to the fact you’re not using a better keepsake)
feather duster has done nothing
break more pots
fair
The text of the effect is "Broken urns have a 3/5/6% chance to contain healing items.", but this is false; a maximum of one urn per room can have healing in it.
you might actually not get 1 in a room lmao
that's amazing
when i attack i get hurt now!
It’ll be worth it when you open that jar with a sandwich in it
For a whole 10 Hp heal
attacking is overrated anyways
but chaos offered me 50% extra damage on my m1 so i had to
You in fact did not have to
it feels so good when you get a sandwich tho
i had to
chaos curses cant take you past 1hp so just dont get hit 😃👍
i got a sandwich but... it was in a fountain room...
i was max
yoo sandwich healed me to max
why dont more people use feather duster
the goal of the game does appear to be not getting hit ngl
but i get hit
If you kill things quickly with a real build you got by using god keepsakes
Then you don’t get hit as much
but im bored of putting on dionysus then aphrodite then artemis
Then put on different gods
no
do hades' vase things count as traps?
Yes
i'll take athena's boon then
Yooo I beat charon
