you will when hades 2 comes out
dw about it
wait it's 6?
I thought it threw 5 shields ngl
and l1 chaos didn't do anything
*rare
you can't even do 32 with SDs
why do you still lurk the server then
index user behavior
It's not lurking if you're actively chatting.

Haydeez
Deez nuts
Every time I exploding + skewer it’s basically game over I already know I won the run lol
It basically becomes a bow
Especially with swift and divine flourish
Basically just rapid firing 600+ damage
Balance in this game is so weird
Can go from an absolutely busted build to a useless build
Yeah it happens
Every rely strong build I’ve made relies on spamming one attack
Wish the game rewarded more being more resourceful but it seems like it wants you to just go hard on upgrading one of your attacks
For the most part it kinda is yeah
Whenever I tried to make a build with multiple attacks it just had low DPS
it depends on the aspect tho
Then again I’m still probably in early game since I’ve beat hades 7 times
hestia rail wants a good attack, special, and dash level
luckily you can sorta go around the levels with chaos boons so you dont need as many poms
Rely? I used rail and got the boon with the explosive that does 300% damage and just Uber leveled that and demolished everything in one hit
well you can do that
but the attack is also useful lmao
well depends on the rail i guess
like i said, hestia wants a good attack level
but the others use lightning strike most of the time
and you dont need levels into those
because you mainly want jolted, and put levels into that

How do u unlock the locked aspects?
It’ll say like I need 1-2 blood thingies
But I have like 8 rn and I can’t unlock the locked ones
guide is pinned in #h1-story-discussion unless you want to figure it out yourself, and then in which case just play more

you only cleared 7 times, and most people dont unlock hidden aspects until later
not sure how much later, but generally later
i'm assuming you unlocked rail already right
Yep several clears
weird
Idk if I talked to him yet
Each weapon has a number of "Aspects" that can be unlocked using Titan Blood. Aspects become available one run after the Rail has been unlocked and the player has collected at least one Titan Blood.
from the wiki
idk lmao
wack
You are clicking the button on the right and not on the weapon itself right?
does chaos attack % boon count with dash strike?
yes

I DID IT
i speedran the game
15 mins
low heat doe
but still 15 mins
Speedruns normally use EM2 FO2 btw.
TD only in RTA speedruns because it disables survival rooms... which cost a lot of RTA but pause the timer, so it's good for IGT.
oh
was it a good first speedrun doe?
it works for now lol
15:15 is a good first attempt, yeah.
for a first attempt i'd say like a solid 5 lol
🙂
What?
?
That's like 10/10 tbh for that pact and incomplete mirror and how new you are to the game.
Well, 9/10. 10/10 would be not getting your first clear until your 50th attempt just like Croven. 
Did he just do a lot of farming runs?
I think he just died a lot.
whats everybodys favorite weapon and least favorite weapon
Damn I’m just like croven fr
favorite is hestia rail bc i like seeing big numbers. least fav is sword bc melee 😢
does fated authority let you reroll boons if thats whats on your mirror?
fav is bow least fav is shield
Authority lets you reroll chamber rewards.
That is a funny coincidence that happened after our conversation
There were news like a month ago that the allegations were dropped
Dude took an L from a 19 year old girl and got caught in the dumbest way possible, lmao
guess who just got the ending
i beat the game 10 times
now to get the true ending
but ngl
i was surprised you dont have to beat hades for the 10th escape
also
i managed to get the achievement where you get to 30% on the butterfly
i barely got it
last room of styx
I got to 20% on hermes’ thing
The credits song is such a banger
So damn good
i need to do that too
my goal is to 100% this game
I was so sad when i bought it at orpheus and there was no lyrics
i want this game to be my first 100% achievement game
dude I cannot find ares anywhere
That was me with aphrodite for a while
not even that, if I do find him I'll probably have to spend all my rolls because I'm definitely not getting what I want
is there an achievement for getting all house decor?
ares is like bootleg dionysus
unless ur going for ares's cast duo boons he is worthless imo
the only good boons he has that work singularly are
the one that gives more strength when dd is used and the one that gives u a % boost to basically all damage for free
Don't know about the community's opinion on him but doom is great
if you build it right
meh
got bored of chiron/hangover
thank everything
had to do every satyr tunnel to get enough money
last boon
well
the fun didn't last long
1000 + damage on the doom though
Have fun grinding like 325k darkness for resource director
Doom is great if you have merciful end + divine dash
I'll keep it in mind
the only good build for doom is ME lmao
Otherwise it just takes too long to drop
I'm not touching it with a 50 ft broomstick atm
Smh
It’s good at high level but needs some practice
At lv1 it’s pretty hard to play for most people
don't touch it til max level
and it also takes a bit to get used to it cause of the missing health i reckon
Just tank the Beyblade.
Sounds like a terrible idea frankly
Normally when you face tank bosses you can actually get some hits in
Against the beyblade you can't really get damage in with melee aspects because of how frequent the hits are
Yea with melee it’s a death sentence
It’s already hard enough to do with ranged aspects

Not sure if it has been answered alrdy but it sounds like you were pressing the aspect instead of the upgrade button.
I am going to attempt 60 heat on zag's malphon
You also say hi to Hypnos for me.
Full athena build
Speaking of the heroes idk if I wasn't paying attention before but it feels like the non-EM heroes started using new attacks for some reason.
Just because you didn't die doesn't mean it's not a good idea
Just because slicing flare worked at 40 heat doesn't mean it's good
You mean "doesn't mean it isn't not a good idea".
I'm bad with words but you know what I mean lmao
Seriously tho it’s the worst thing ever 
It was funny
I had an easier time with no flare
There's worse things.
Like.
Ares call
Chaos Aspect.

That too.
60 heat on chaos shield
I tried boonless beo at 40 and I never managed to beat that so slicing flare is better than that at least
Very low bar to pass
Boonless Beo kinda fun
I dislike bull rush. I can't handle it. There seems to be this moment of vulnerability at the end of the animation. Even if I quickly dash after I just take hits.
You’re probably dash striking
I've always died to dad lmao it's kinda upsetting so I gave up
Or you could be worse when you have a better build.
We can't rule that out.
And Beo doesn't work properly if you dash straight through them.
His special barely scratches enemies
Even with Aphro
Did the devs forgot to add few zeroes to it's dmg
Because it’s faster to start the next

I died to heroes lol
But it was 50
You don't take damage after a Dragon Rush if there ain't nothing alive to hit you.
That sounds more manageable than beo at least
Boonless is such an endurance test because you do no damage. 
Eventually you get hit because you fell asleep. 
It might be idk really
What aspect is more boring
Arthur or guan yu
Beo with cshot is strong
I got potted when dad had 1/4 hp left on boonless lmao
Chaos.
The concept of chaos is fun
What is the best weapon and starting room for a run that aims to utilize the Thanatos keepsake and get the achievement while at it
If they just tweak the dmg
Hestia and tdash start probably
Or ddash for safety I guess
Or more damage with Aphrodite strike
Zeus aspect is kinda boring
With the constant need of focusing on the trajectory
I'd take an Attack start on Hestia for no-hit. No need to get close.
I did mine with Guan yu but you’d want Charged skewer
I think I did mine with fists somehow
I don't remember using hestia for that
If I did I don't remember at all
I think Hestia and Guan Yu are the best for that, yeah. Hestia doesn't rely on a specific hammer.
I think that’s whats fun about it lol
The most boring runs I've done were boonless mirrorless 32 Heat with Hestia.
Just utterly bland.
Very rewarding weapon

Sorry, I guess I didn't get the right duo boon or something.
If you have a solid passion flare build you don’t need duos
With flood flare it’s not as nice in ely and beyond so yea you want Mirage but the weapon is crazy strong regardless
Wait Arthur isn't boring.
It's not easy to figure out broken builds anyway.
?!?
Nobody is sleeping on it we know it's pretty good.
Not really
It's just that you have to keep it on from start to finish which hurts the utility of the keepsake system.
Zag fist and sword with plume is a thing but other than that it's bleh
I've done more Lambent Plume runs than you've done runs. Who's sleeping on what? 
Even those builds are kinda mid unless you luck into a good build and RD
But for a change of pace I prefer plume over butterfly.
do yall keep the shortcut to the lounge?
100% dodge chance isn't mid tbh.
Chances of getting rd are ok if you plume and can win without it.
Yes. Saves time.
Fair but also praying for good Hermes is such a pain
can you at least decorate the shortcut?
But also having a high dodge chance but low damage kinda sucks
Tbf that's literally every speedrun lol.
You don't need to pray for good hermes
Doesn't make it less of a pain
There's every chance to get something good from Hermes.
No.
Bad hermes is so sad
its soooo ugly doe
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Like chances of getting 3 things of which none is good is fairly low. And that's without rerolling.
The only relevant ones are hyper sprint -> rush delivery, more dashes, casts reload faster, and the one where casts drop faster
Last 2 are only relevant for certain aspects
What do you mean? What about second wind?
Dependent on call I guess
Hyper sprint is good on its own.
But also swind isn't a priority in speedruns considering hyper delivery is stronger
Hey I'm on 10/150 health should I choose kiss of Styx premium or hydralite gold
There's also that 20% dodge chance boon.
1+Athena DD/3
So 2/3
20% dodge chance is great.
100% dodge chance is mid. Ok.
Prob healing, refilling a DD is only 75 compared to extra healing
It's not easy getting dodge that high
And also you don't have control of your build
Wdym who?
You don't need 100% for it to be good.
the "old man"
Also I'm really close to the Elysium boss and I'm scared lol, any tips? I'm using aspect of chaos shield
The narrator is the narrator.
No? Narrators talking to the audience is a thing literally every narrator does.
It's kinda hard to narrate without doing that.
Narrator is hinted at to be Homer.
It is?
how?
How what?
Does anyone have tips on the Elysium bosses
so basically
the bull is
2 swings and a leap
attack after he leaps
and when you see a crosshair on you
hide behind a pillar
and when you beat the bull and have to only fight theseus
hit him from behind so he cant block you
I just dash to avoid the spear throw.
and when he starts phase 2, abuse that and hit him as much as you can while avoiding the hits from the gods
I sometimes kill both at the same time.
You can get a statue in the House that looks like Homer and if you interact with it a lot of times, the narrator basically implies that statue is of him.
oh
And yeah when he "calls" it's a good opportunity to hit him as counterintuitive as that sounds.
But it's not directly stated that the narrator is Homer.
We know what Homer looks like?
Eventually I just learned to take a little damage, provided I had some sort of damage reduction by then.
do companions count towards the achievement?
Maybe you're still missing one?
no
Well, I guess we don't know if any of the busts are accurate depictions. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Homer_British_Museum.jpg
Should I take Poseidon's boon with chaos shield or do I take the pomagranate
What was the last one you got?
last posieson boon?
Yeah you're missing one.
History is a lot of maybes. 
Flood shot😭
Sorry I was talking to the screen shot.
hades?
Ooh
Yea
let me guess
The screenshot won't talk back to you.
i gotta beat the epilogue
^
Nah
to unlock it
You'll get it soon.
is it literally just playing the game?
What's your build now?
I don't have image perms
Can I send to dms or smth
You'll get it soon trust me.
Try shield
Nobody does. You can upload it to imgur or something and link that. Image embeds are fine.
ok
I wonder why embeds are fine but uploads are not.
idk
I guess so you can't upload malware. Idk. Because the devs decided them's the rules.
I mean the only thing from Poseidon I have rn is flood shot
No other boons?
No other boons from poseidon
That wasn't my question. 
I really don't wanna install imgur just for this one thing, so I'ma list em lol
I think I passed on a chaos gate for a pom as well.
You can also just make a private discord server rq and upload it there and link that.
Oh shoot ur right
Skipping hammers can be fine. You'll see it again.
I never thought I'd be passing on anything for a pom tbh but I suddenly learned that the value of things change depending on circumstances.
Yes. But you'll keep being offered them until you pick 'em up.
Ignore the god mode LMAO
3D Hades. 
Getting some flat damage shenanigans to level 5 before furies is neat.
oh fr?
i didnt know
And yeah that's why passing on a hammer is not always bad.
Get the boon for Breaking Wave, I guess. Will help a lot in Styx.
also people
Isn't it just luck?
the cutscene that played on my 11th escape
It CAN be bad. Early hammer can be run defining and if you're unlucky it shows up at a shop when you do want it.
Still not a guy. 
will that play on every time now?
i use the spear exclusively
Somewhat, but that's what you're hoping for anyway.
There are a bajillion different quips for winning a run.
what other weapon would i use to switch things up a bit
A different one.

I never had that problem. I let dark thirst decide what I play.
Hydraulic Might is fine.
yes but which one
Hydraulic Might can be ok.
10 seconds kinda sucks tho
Just let dark thirst decide
i refuse to touch the bow
10 seconds feels like 5 minutes in Hades.
I would stop refusing to touch the bow but it's your decision.
okay now imagine 45 seconds
Alr guys wish me luck I'm entering the chambers of Elysium boss woo
If my encounters last 45 seconds, I'll retire. 
That just means you made good choices.
should i just stack on heat
Do in you know the myth of Theseus?
i want more of a key spamming experience
If you want more of a challenge, use more challenging pacts, sure.
what would you suggest my approach would be for pacts
idk them very well
i have mods
Theseus in the myth was a dude who very much let his hero-ness go to his head.
He pretty much thought he could get away with anything because he was just that awesome.
do you know of jetstream sam
A samurai with a mechanical arm?
yeah
his ideals were that he fought because he wants to
i relate more to that
he just wants to have a good old time and rid the world of bad people
In the end Theseus caused his own downfall by angering a few women.
the jetstream dlc is literally him trying to take down world marshall hq all by himself
he fights armstrong and manages to slice off his nanomachine infused arm but this mf turns the stub into a knife and stabs his arm off
But I guess all things considered him being in Elysium makes sense because Greek afterlife rewarded people for doing great things, not for being great people.
YES I KILLED THEM
Phew
Time for the final biome right?
he then says "the job is yours, welcome aboard" as he reaches out his hand to shake sams remaining arm
This Is a rather short game
Depends
multiple runs, pacts, heat, bounty, furnishings?
theres a full fleshed out story
If you think the game is over when you beat the last boss and all those times you died don't count then sure the game is short, but that's not how any of this works.
For starters the whole point of a Roguelike is to play it again and again. Being too 'long' would work against it.
Nobody wants to play a 20 hour game over and over.
Also it's literally Cerberus's job to keep people from leaving.
He does a bad job
But he's my friend :<
So is temple of styx hard?
No
Keep going and find out.
depends
Just do the two rooms with skulls on the icons
This will give u the best chance to only need 2 rooms to get the sack
The thing about this game is different parts of the game present different problems and the question is do you have answers to all of them.
I always do the non skulls first and tend to find them there
I'm not sure it matters which door you pick.
Non skulls take longer and have lower chances
How do they take longer?
99% of time I need only 2 when I pick skulls
Sounds like a random fact he just made up
Oh no I'm on 41/150
Because you just need to kill the mini boss and few mobs
Which is faster
Instead of having tons of mobs spawn in waves
It's an actual fact any experienced player will back up
But whatever
I’ve only done one boss room and it was a tiny rat that took longer than mob waves
He is the only issue
But he is rare
Most of the time it's weaker mini bosses
I think you need to invest 5 points into an aspect that isn’t zag
I was about to ask the same q
The boss satyr gives me the most trouble out of all skull rooms in styx
Because of poison. Any tips against him?
Especially on builds without Athena
It can be Zag.
The key to killing the Satyr Cultist is to not get hit.
Continously dash attack him
also
try to stun lock him
He'll probably say he has armor.
Which he does.
Anyway the poison dart attack has a long windup, just don't be in front of him when he does that.
Or if you're used to it you can just dash or slash the projectile.
does "swift strike" from Hermes ("Your Attack is faster") increase the draw speed of dash-striking with the bow?
talk to chaos
i dont think it affects dash-strikes, someone else would need to confirm though
What I've seen on a couple of forum posts is it doesn't affect dash striking, so I'm inclined to say that's correct, bow seems like it might be an exception as its dash strike isn't instant, but seems less than likely to me
could just be wishful thinking on my part
ask someone more knowledgable in the community like bananas or nyaanyaa
It does not
mike did u end up editing ur mirror guide in the new players channel?
I did not because I want to make a more elaborate one
Thank you for letting me know, and you too aka
And maybe change the format a bit so it’s not a wall of text
i see, glhf ig
Hey I don't rlly understand why the Poseidon blade is so good
Isn't the whole point of casts that you deal more damage to folks with shards in them?
not always, sometimes u want ur casts back bc they deal the massive damage for u
in a cast build
Oh so which boons should I aim for with it?
No, Cast builds are the hardest hitting builds in the entire game when optimized properly
i think ive seen a phalanx lightning build w poseidon, you could try that
Yea you can start with Phalanx from Athena and try to get Lightning Phalanx later down the road, can force Zeus in Asphodel for it
ive also seen aphro added for parting and smair
Yea that's the other route
I like that more
But I'd take Snow burst over both
Easy to get and really good
i have 5 points into zag on aegis now, how do i get beowulf?
talk to chaos
is that the person offering dodgy deals for hp
umm… theyre a god who gives benefits if you are cursed with a curse mid run
no
is it supposed to give me Huge Catch from Poseidon as my first boon despite having zeus' keepsake equipped?
last run i had poseidon say something about fishing
do i need to unlock guan yu before any other hidden aspects
don't think so
that happened to me too
just a one time thing i think
no, just revealed
Same way you get anything else in this game.
ah i see
well that kinda messed up my build a little but
we'll see how it goes
still got my epic zeus cast right after
A certain conversation happens and then you get it.
I haven't been here very long. How often do people ask questions to which the answer is 'play more'?
who hurt you?
Nobody? It's just a question.
you seem awfully upset at people asking questions on a public discord
Upset how?
passive aggression in most things ur typing
Is it?
'same way you get anything else' 'just play more'
Sorry I guess? Wasn't aware.
if theres a specific requirement its hardly answering a question
Is that passive aggressive?
Idk sorry for being curious.
And sorry for trying to be helpful.
I guess I'll never tell people the answer to their questions again because apparently that's passive aggressive.
Well this isn't an answer to their question
how many times does he do the heal move?
Twice i think?
He will always do it at p2.2 but he can do it whenever afterwards
bruh thats op
No it's half of the answer the other half I also gave.
so what am i supposed to do?
you're really good at this passive aggressive thing
out damage his heal?
Usually you dont want him to come of the darkness very far away from you
yes
What's passive aggressive about that?
Break the pots, there is a mark on the pot he's using to heal
And yea if your damage is good enough you can also do that
he only uses one pot to heal?
But generally speaking it's not
Now, the question is : How to outdamage that thing?
When it breaks he'll swap to another and it'll also be marked
bruh
so really the only thing you can do is outdamage his heal
I don't think so
outdamaging his heal isnt very hard on low heat tho
yay, new pb
13:07
yay
Nice
whats the point of doing the game high heat anyways
fun
wasn't even hurrying until I got to styx and saw I'm below 12min 
Why us that passive aggressive? I try to help people then people give me flak for it so I guess they don't want me to help and then I say I'll stop doing it but apparently that's bad too. Which is it?
got lucky with a sack in 2 and there we are
When you get enough practice and experience even doing upwards of 45 heat becomes trivially easy
Fun and suffering
and then 50 heat strikes
is there an achievement for beating the game high heat
I don't think I'll ever be that good. ^^ I still struggle at like 4 heat.
you get a skelly statue in the courtyard for some milestones up to 32
achievement for 20 heat
I'm still pretty low personally but, it's a fun climb
what are all the achievements?
theres 49
you mean like heat achievements?
It's actually easy to some
Unless it's like a Poseidon Zeus combo then I mysteriously kill everything in no time flat.
yeah but most of us are mortals
At least by my own standards.
I've only done 4 heat at most so far (since there's no point in skipping and I've only been playing for a few days), but it hasn't been any harder than the base game tbh
But the moment I start relying on a single build to do anything is probably the moment I quit the game altogether.
yea heat achievements
also guys
i just saw
i have one of the 3 rarest achievements in the game
getting the butterfly to 30%
one for 20 and one for another one below 20
EM1 barely changes things, EM2 makes lernie easier, and TD is what I do anyway 
em2 gets hard with fo2 and lc4 imo
lernie ends my runs sometimes at high heat
honestly FO2 lernie does sound like hell
is there a reward for beating em4?
super chaotic
theres just a lot of attacks going on and not much space during his second invincibility phase
The heads are more bunched up, which makes them die faster since you can kill multiple at once pff
Bunching them up together may make killing them faster if you're good but it's also much harder.
em2 is hard to get used to
yeah trans lernie is the hardest one imo, just cause of how many rocks fall
EM heroes are easier than Lernie.
you what
do yall play with em4?
I don't understand the question.
em3 is spicy
I what what does that mean?
will do it one day
Sometimes in high heat
can't wait to play em3 after I beat 5 heat, pff
It's spicy but Lernie is harder.
sadly I can't play much
how
uni stuff keeping me busy, and soon I'm going back to uni and will be unable to play for a couple weeks 
No it's literally melee aspects that kill me during Lernie most.
isnt melee more of a problem for em3
and thus begins the vicious cycle of getting rusty in 2 weeks and failing to get back in shape over 2 days pff
I don't understand the question, by being more difficult?
slowly the time u take to get back into shape will lessen
seeing the shockwaves asterius makes, I imagine em heroes will be terrible with melee 
asterius goes sicko mode with his moves
How is EM heroes bad for melee?
Bow? 
you dont play bow using just point blank specials?
What about it?
I barely ever use specials with bow tbh
good the only good special is on rama
unless its chiron i dont either
Look, EM Lernie makes me lose defiances, EM heroes do not idk what to tell you.
how many times have you done this
Idk how one spin to win move makes a difference.
suboptimal tbh
Just wait until it's over or tank it?
also funny how spear was the weapon I used to struggle with even at 0 heat and ended all of my streaks thus far, but now it gave me pb
the curse of the spear is lifted
tank it?
Yea but it shreds them
Or wait until it's over, I said.
i-
You?
how bad does TD get at high heats?
I'm sorry am I being passive aggressive again?
so far I'm playing with EM1-2 and TD1 and usually end with ~15min left
td3 is free most of the time up until very very high heat
u hv to get sub 20 w td3
I'm guessing stuff like FO gives you less opportunities to attack?
fo makes times faster bc enemies spawn faster
Yeah, just tank it
Uh, a few times?
EM heroes just doesn't have a stage that is 99% lava.
magma.
its that easy
Yeah ok it's 99% magma sorry for using the wrong word.
I'm usually ending somewhere in that range, my weapon pbs range from 13 to 22, so I'll probably manage once I finish upgrading mirror and aspects 
Don't go in the red liquid that's very dangerous
Yeah, sounds easy
yea its sm easier w max aspects and mirror
plus experience
Actually I think the Phlegethon was supposed to be made of fire but what do I know?
u got this
should get to uni work now but hoping to continue this streak in the evening pfff
I mean I don't know what to say. Do you think I don't know the red liquid that's everywhere is dangerous?
just dont sleep tn
got to 5 right now, which is usually the time it gets ruined by spear, but this time spear gave me pb 
congrats!
It doesn't make any sense.
Why would I mention it costing me defiances if I didn't know it hurt me?
Like what is this weird logic?
Is this like a punishment for me being 'passive aggressive'? Just not being taken seriously?
I sometimes take stupid magma damage in normal asphodel stages when I try to dash to the boats to go fast and miss the boat miserably
Isn't that a normal thing to happen?
It's like facing coven and never taking any damage.
Like do people think I just willingly stand on the lava in a game that's just hard to control?
Like I don't understand any of this.
spear underrated 💪
I for one barely take magma damage during lernie, since I can just dash out of it, and the existence of dash attacks means I don't lose out on dps doing it
gg tho
Like is it that hard to believe that I lose control of where I'm going and end up in the lava that way?
And after a dash there's a moment of immobility.
And enemies also attack and the only way to go is into the lava.
yeah but you take what, 2-3 damage until you can get back on solid ground
Like why do I even need to explain this I don't understand.
and you can dash through attacks 
you don't need to dash away, you have all 360 degrees of directions
into the lava
the magma isn't all around you
There's magma in every direction.
looking at an image of the em2 arena and it's 3 very big patches of solid ground separated by some magma
more than enough space to dodge
I'm sorry for not being super epic at movement like you people but why is it so criminal?
who said it was criminal
That seems to be implied.
shes just trying to help
i think ppl were just incredulous when u said u can tank asterius beyblade
Unless you make a habit out of making fun of people who haven't done anything.
I did say 'or wait until it's over'?
manock why are you still beefing people
Also this embarrassing to ask but English is not my first language.
What does incredulous mean?
probably when a person doesn't believe something?
i assume
yeah
incredulous
/ɪnˈkrɛdjʊləs/
Learn to pronounce
adjective
(of a person or their manner) unwilling or unable to believe something.
"an incredulous gasp"
I mean idk what to say I did that like one or two times because I had mad damage reduction?
Oh, with damage reduction
Yeah, it can work then
You'd think that'd be implicit.
do you have god mode on?
You wouldn't go tank heavy attacks without it.
No.
It's a bit uncomfortable because of the hitstun and I lost like over half my hp bar but I could power through it.
Other times I just avoided it.
I don't see the big issue.
I just don't understand why having trouble with EM Lernie is so controversial.
Is it so weird to be bad at a videogame? I don't understand.
I'm still at the stage where I mash buttons like crazy.
I'm not super epic at reaction times.
I suck at fighting games and high speed action games.
Speaking of mashing buttons I have a question to the chat in general
When using Achilles spear, do yall count your attacks
Before refreshing the buff
Not much experience using that weapon, but I frequently lost count.
Cause I forget and just throw it every few hits pfff
Also I think you need to use up the whole buff before you can refresh it.
Counting is probably easier if you use a cast build.
If all else fails you just watch for the graphic to go away.
I forget cast builds exist, pff
I always just use cast as free extra dps + boiling blood proccer
It seems to me that cast builds are the main reason to use Achilles.
well, artemis attack + poseidon dash achilles just got me pb 
The attack is too fast to warrant interrupting your flow every 4 attacks.
it's fun with the uhhh
that hammer.
flurry something? dunno
the one that just lets you chain super fast dash attacks by holding attack and dashing
yeah probably that c: thanks
Why is that so offensive?
I remember hammers by their functionalities more than names pfffff
I mean I'm sorry for being bad at one thing but not the other thing.
I still don't know what that means I'm sorry.
nope
I mean not that I'm great at EM heroes either but I never unintentionally lost defiances to them.
also gosh, seeking fire fixes so many of my problems with rail
grabbed it for the prophecy the other day and it felt so smooth
no more misses
are you on mouse and keyboard?
I just use aim assist.
does Impending Doom have a stack cap?
I would assume it doesn't since it has a hard non refreshable timer.
mhm mhm, I was told to keep aim assist on and turn attacking at cursor off but attacking in the movement direction just feels so weird to me pff
could never get used to it
Like, how do I put this?
Heroes and Lernie present me with different problems.
The problems presented by heroes are less of an issue than the lava everywhere.
I just don't have as much control over where I'm going that some epic speedrunner does.
I don't know why that's so weird.
With Heroes I can just dash around.
speaking of, I kinda wanna try speedrunning once I'm better. I never speedran a game before but going fast in hades is just so fun
My brain isn't the fastest.
Sometimes it takes me 3 seconds to process something a person just said.
today I did it without thinking, wasn't hurrying with this spear run until I'm clearing a styx path and suddenly go
when I see the clock is only at 12min
Hi! What is the difference between a Boon's Level and Rarity? As far as I can tell, they both increase the Boon's stat(s).
They do.
if a boon has a higher rarity the levels scale better
i assume
I believe rarity makes it scale better, since I noticed lower-rarity boons start getting reeeally tiny increases at higher levels
not fully certain though
yeah
Thanks @north shell @silent willow
There is no 'difference' so to speak they're just two different ways to achieve the same thing.
High rarity and high level are both good.
Just that rarity only goes up to heroic and doesn't suffer diminishing returns. Leveling does have diminishing returns but there's no relevant cap.
GG
GG
congrats
how many escapes so far?
i think this is like my third or fourth
gooood c:
You'll notice that once you break the barrier the game gets a little easier.
ah
i cannot live without divine strike
Hangover boons are worth noting since the increase can't go below 1 per stack, so...
rarity increases the base number, pom upgrades always increase by a fixed amount regardless of rarity
i main the aspect of hades spear
Rarity bonuses are significant enough to make a notable difference, but never so great that a common version is outright bad.
rarity matters different amounts depending on the boon
Epic rush delivery is kreygasm
Common is still amazing.
Pressure points just doesn't matter XD
Side Hustle is great no matter the rarity
I like pressure points cause mmmm big number sometimes
also artemis
I love artemis

I end up taking either zeus on fast hitters or artemis on slow hitters most runs. Poseidon and aphro are also common guests pfff
Artemis is ok. I'm starting to understand her core boons are only ok for the most part.
If you can get crits from a different source you can exploit her support boons tho.
arty is pretty good for rail special
Oh?
Also Hunter's Mark has some silly pom scaling.
I think one of the greatest ways to use Artemis is through her duos with Athena or Dio.
They add crits to already powerful attacks.
I'm not a big fan of Artemis to be honest
Critical hits are good, but i can't really play with them
I GOT ME IN TARTARUS
Or use a weapon with natural crit and Aphrodite/Artemis.
YEAH, ME !
You know what works well with ME?
Artemis. 😛
Critical Dooms.
The dream build is A/A/A/A lol.
It's hard to get that build tho.
But you can get ridiculous numbers with it.
It requires 3 duos.
3 specific ones too.
Which ones?
Merciful End, the thingy that gives crit rate after deflect, and Heart Rend.
Good luck getting that
You also need a way to weave Weak into the rotation.
I guess the easiest way is with the cast.
Getting all of that is both unreliable and overkill
I'm sorry, I thought I already implied that when I said "It's hard to get that build"
I still think it's fun to mention.
And that it's all gods whose names start with A. It's funny.
I do think that if you want to run ME you have to be prepared to run a regular Doom build.
I can see the trap of fishing for ME and never getting it and then having a bad doom build that makes you lose.
hey um i was curious, is it possible or dmca free to use the hades ost for general streaming?
also whatz the lowest specs possible to run hades?
Well, according to Steam’s Hades page, the lowest specs for optimal gameplay are:
OS: Windows 7 SP1.
Processor: Dual Core 2.4 GHz.
Memory: 4 GB RAM.
Graphics: 1GB VRAM / DirectX 10+ support.
Storage: 15 GB available space.
Lower than that, it’s tartarus to play, would not recommend.
Are there any self-imposed challanges you have and want to share?
Maybe you have, or know, of a weekly challange thread somewhere?
I'm still pretty new to the game so I have lots to find out, but it would be nice to have new ideas after finishing.
There's a monthly one in #h1-builds-and-combat pins c:

Wait so I just invested 5 titans blood into my shield how do I unlock Beowolf shield
check the pins of #h1-story-discussion
wait so if i go ME, what else do i need on the build? just as much Arty as i can?
look for impending doom mainly
hyper delivery combo from hermes is good too
i see thanks
Wait for Chaos to give you the waking phrase.
i think the aspect of dheeze is the best
but do I need to have guan Yu unlcoked
deez nuts.
sadge
Yep
you'll get him next time
What doesnt help is that i had wasted 2 revives tanking hits to kill him faster
I cant imagine playing it on god mode with the heat bar all the way up
god mode is easier
you mean the other one you select when you create a game file?
forgot what it's called
If there's a god in shop/door, if i dont pick them will they be removed from the pool or stay in the pool?
idk if i understood that correctly but if you skip them you can still get them later
I mean if i skip em on purpose, will they come back or nah
Damn
Nope
i've been beaing up bad dad more consistently recently even with a build that i felt was pretty bad so i'm pretty glad
No
You need to have it revealed.
i feel my fav weapons are the spear, the gun and the gauntlets but i remember being humiliated by thanatos when i was running a bow build once
I really wish the game would let me unlock the aspects lol
Whenever I click the locked button it doesn’t work and yes I’m clicking the aspect unlock button and not the aspect lol
Well now that he's arrested, is he still a "G" to you?
Baldy got arrested?
yeah
Oh no are there Andrew Tate fans in this server
Disappointed ngl
human trafficking and uhh idk how to. say it in english
Being a cringelord?
but basically held like a girl hostage or. something
that's what i heard on the news at least
Kidnap
sort of but like
the girl went there by her own will apparently, they just forced her to stay
Some of his quotes are actually decently intelligent but like then he ends the train of thought with something ridiculous and it makes what he said completely invalid lol
Yeah hostage is the right word
yea some of his points are reasonable but then the other 90% is just bs

He’s a prime example of ego-unchecked stupidity. Often highly ambitious people that are so much of it that their mind is just in this mode where they think they’re god and can’t think clearly
yah
do you have enough titan blood 
I have 9 
dunno then
Game just hates me bra 
I never had an issue like that
try #h1-tech-support
Ur username is intriguing tell me more
trade your ambrosia away like a gamer 
I’d actually give u some if we could trade items
i am doing that
Do you have the final aspect?
currently just doing some low heat runs for free titan blood
the first thing that came into my mind when I first saw "Lernaean Bone Hydra" at 2am
I haven’t gotten any of the ??? Aspects nor have I unlocked any of the locked ones (since it won’t let me) but I’ve spent like 10 titan bloods on the default aspects
weird
It wont let me unlock the second and third aspect
Because the 4th aspect of every weapon is locked untill you beat the final boss once
The second and third aspect are visible but locked and the 4th one is just “???”
But it won’t let me unlock and use the 2nd and 3rd ones
Or idk what it is when you haven't unlocked it yet
It just does a noise as if I don’t have titan bloods but I do

speaking of, how do you get embed perms in this channel
