Ngl I have no idea what robow monkey is.

you will when hades 2 comes out

snow skiff
#

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.

🌰 🌰 dusaHeart

#

Ok am I tripping or is charged skewer + exploding launcher absolutely broken

latent moon
#

Those are the ideal hammers for spear lmao

#

Other than flurry jab

long marten
#

Flurry jab is amazing

#

Oh my aim is slightly off? I gotchu fam

vital spade
#

Every time I exploding + skewer it’s basically game over I already know I won the run lol

latent moon
#

It basically becomes a bow

vital spade
#

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

latent moon
#

Yeah it happens

vital spade
#

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

latent moon
#

For the most part it kinda is yeah

vital spade
#

Whenever I tried to make a build with multiple attacks it just had low DPS

latent moon
#

it depends on the aspect tho

vital spade
#

Then again I’m still probably in early game since I’ve beat hades 7 times

latent moon
#

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

vital spade
#

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

latent moon
#

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

vital spade
#

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

latent moon
#

guide is pinned in #h1-story-discussion unless you want to figure it out yourself, and then in which case just play more

vital spade
latent moon
#

you only cleared 7 times, and most people dont unlock hidden aspects until later

#

not sure how much later, but generally later

vital spade
#

I’m not talking about the hidden ones tho

#

But the locked ones u can see

latent moon
#

wait what

#

you should just be able to

#

have you been talking to skelly

vital spade
#

It has a lock symbol and when I click it just does a weird noise

#

Yeah I talk to him

latent moon
#

i'm assuming you unlocked rail already right

vital spade
#

I have enough bloods too so idk

#

Yeah

latent moon
#

and i'm assuming you did a run after you did so

#

idk then

vital spade
#

Yep several clears

latent moon
#

weird

vital spade
#

Maybe it’s a glitch

latent moon
#

lmao possibly

#

maybe achilles has something to say idk

vital spade
#

Idk if I talked to him yet

latent moon
#

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

vital spade
#

Dang I’ve done like 4 clears after and it won’t let me unlock

latent moon
#

wack

woeful finch
#

You are clicking the button on the right and not on the weapon itself right?

vital spade
#

Ye

#

It makes a weird kind of noise and does nothing

manic kraken
#

does chaos attack % boon count with dash strike?

latent moon
#

yes

vital spade
cosmic berry
#

I DID IT

#

i speedran the game

#

15 mins

#

low heat doe

#

but still 15 mins

high island
#

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.

cosmic berry
#

was it a good first speedrun doe?

latent moon
#

it works for now lol

cosmic berry
#

rate it

#

from 0-10

high island
#

15:15 is a good first attempt, yeah.

latent moon
#

for a first attempt i'd say like a solid 5 lol

cosmic berry
#

🙂

high island
#

What?

cosmic berry
high island
#

That's like 10/10 tbh for that pact and incomplete mirror and how new you are to the game.

latent moon
#

oh it's an incomplete mirror lmao

#

i didn't even notice that

high island
#

Well, 9/10. 10/10 would be not getting your first clear until your 50th attempt just like Croven. tizomg

cosmic berry
high island
#

I think he just died a lot.

cosmic berry
#

oh

#

also

#

i fumbled

#

i found a fish in greece but fished it too early

coral prawn
#

whats everybodys favorite weapon and least favorite weapon

rustic vale
brazen aspen
cosmic berry
#

does fated authority let you reroll boons if thats whats on your mirror?

cosmic berry
high island
tired karma
#

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

subtle sinew
#

Bro i just escaped with guan yu first try zagluv

#

That’s what you love to see

subtle sinew
#

(Level 1 guan yu as well)

#

Im honestly shocked that i did that

cosmic berry
#

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

high island
#

That's the true ending. tizomg

#

After that is the epilogue.

cosmic berry
#

i managed to get the achievement where you get to 30% on the butterfly

#

i barely got it

#

last room of styx

subtle sinew
#

I got to 20% on hermes’ thing

subtle sinew
jaunty sonnet
#

So damn good

cosmic berry
#

my goal is to 100% this game

subtle sinew
#

I was so sad when i bought it at orpheus and there was no lyrics

cosmic berry
#

i want this game to be my first 100% achievement game

jaunty sonnet
#

dude I cannot find ares anywhere

subtle sinew
jaunty sonnet
cosmic berry
#

is there an achievement for getting all house decor?

jaunty sonnet
#

not sure

#

hahaha

#

3 ares boons in styx shop

#

One tunnel

cosmic berry
#

also guys

#

how quick does a room clear have to be for it to count for the plume?

jaunty sonnet
#

dude

#

Never doing an ares build again

cosmic berry
#

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

jaunty sonnet
#

Don't know about the community's opinion on him but doom is great

#

if you build it right

cosmic berry
#

try hangover

#

hangover is way better in most circumstances

jaunty sonnet
#

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

rustic vale
rustic vale
jaunty sonnet
#

I'll keep it in mind

latent moon
rustic vale
#

Otherwise it just takes too long to drop

jaunty sonnet
cosmic berry
#

just unlocked my first hidden aspect

#

is the aspect of guan yu good?

gray apex
#

It’s good at high level but needs some practice

#

At lv1 it’s pretty hard to play for most people

north shell
#

and it also takes a bit to get used to it cause of the missing health i reckon

carmine cloak
#

Just tank the Beyblade.

latent moon
#

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

gray apex
#

Yea with melee it’s a death sentence

#

It’s already hard enough to do with ranged aspects

high island
carmine cloak
tired karma
#

I am going to attempt 60 heat on zag's malphon

high island
#

You also say hi to Hypnos for me.

carmine cloak
#

I'm fairly sure I tanked the Beyblade once.

#

I didn't even die.

tired karma
#

Full athena build

carmine cloak
#

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.

latent moon
high island
#

It's funny that you think you'll have a build on 60 Heat.

latent moon
#

Just because slicing flare worked at 40 heat doesn't mean it's good

gray apex
#

No it’s good

#

Trust me

carmine cloak
#

You mean "doesn't mean it isn't not a good idea".

latent moon
#

But also it was bad

tired karma
#

Some form of build

latent moon
gray apex
#

Seriously tho it’s the worst thing ever bouldy

latent moon
#

It was funny

gray apex
#

I had an easier time with no flare

high island
#

Like.

gray apex
#

Ares call

high island
#

Chaos Aspect.

gray apex
high island
#

That too.

tired karma
#

60 heat on chaos shield

latent moon
#

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

gray apex
#

Boonless Beo kinda fun

carmine cloak
#

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.

gray apex
#

You’re probably dash striking

latent moon
high island
gray apex
#

After a bullrush

high island
#

We can't rule that out.

carmine cloak
#

And Beo doesn't work properly if you dash straight through them.

tired karma
#

His special barely scratches enemies
Even with Aphro
Did the devs forgot to add few zeroes to it's dmg

gray apex
#

Because it’s faster to start the next

gray apex
#

I died to heroes lol

#

But it was 50

high island
#

You don't take damage after a Dragon Rush if there ain't nothing alive to hit you.

latent moon
#

Ah mine was 40

#

Understandable lmao

gray apex
#

I tried some boonless Hestia too

#

Died to heroes so many times bouldy

latent moon
#

That sounds more manageable than beo at least

high island
#

Boonless is such an endurance test because you do no damage. tizozzz

#

Eventually you get hit because you fell asleep. tizomg

gray apex
tired karma
#

What aspect is more boring

Arthur or guan yu

gray apex
#

Beo with cshot is strong

latent moon
#

I got potted when dad had 1/4 hp left on boonless lmao

high island
tired karma
#

The concept of chaos is fun

zealous sparrow
#

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

tired karma
#

If they just tweak the dmg

latent moon
#

Or ddash for safety I guess

#

Or more damage with Aphrodite strike

tired karma
#

Zeus aspect is kinda boring
With the constant need of focusing on the trajectory

high island
#

I'd take an Attack start on Hestia for no-hit. No need to get close.

gray apex
#

I did mine with Guan yu but you’d want Charged skewer

latent moon
#

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

high island
#

I think Hestia and Guan Yu are the best for that, yeah. Hestia doesn't rely on a specific hammer.

gray apex
high island
#

The most boring runs I've done were boonless mirrorless 32 Heat with Hestia.

#

Just utterly bland.

gray apex
#

Very rewarding weapon

high island
carmine cloak
gray apex
#

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

carmine cloak
#

Wait Arthur isn't boring.

high island
#

It's not easy to figure out broken builds anyway.

carmine cloak
#

?!?

cosmic berry
#

guys

#

yall sleeping on the plume keepsake

#

its kinda op

carmine cloak
#

Nobody is sleeping on it we know it's pretty good.

latent moon
#

Not really

carmine cloak
#

It's just that you have to keep it on from start to finish which hurts the utility of the keepsake system.

latent moon
#

Zag fist and sword with plume is a thing but other than that it's bleh

high island
#

I've done more Lambent Plume runs than you've done runs. Who's sleeping on what? tizomg

latent moon
#

Even those builds are kinda mid unless you luck into a good build and RD

carmine cloak
#

But for a change of pace I prefer plume over butterfly.

cosmic berry
#

do yall keep the shortcut to the lounge?

high island
#

100% dodge chance isn't mid tbh.

cosmic berry
#

imo its mad ugly

#

waste of 3 diamonds

carmine cloak
#

Chances of getting rd are ok if you plume and can win without it.

high island
#

Yes. Saves time.

latent moon
cosmic berry
latent moon
#

But also having a high dodge chance but low damage kinda sucks

high island
carmine cloak
#

You don't need to pray for good hermes

latent moon
carmine cloak
#

There's every chance to get something good from Hermes.

high island
gray apex
#

Bad hermes is so sad

cosmic berry
high island
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

carmine cloak
#

Like chances of getting 3 things of which none is good is fairly low. And that's without rerolling.

latent moon
#

Last 2 are only relevant for certain aspects

carmine cloak
#

What do you mean? What about second wind?

latent moon
#

Dependent on call I guess

carmine cloak
#

Hyper sprint is good on its own.

latent moon
#

But also swind isn't a priority in speedruns considering hyper delivery is stronger

brisk trail
#

Hey I'm on 10/150 health should I choose kiss of Styx premium or hydralite gold

carmine cloak
#

There's also that 20% dodge chance boon.

latent moon
#

How many DDs left

#

Only relevant if doing a dodge build

#

Which again

#

Kinda mid

brisk trail
high island
#

20% dodge chance is great.

carmine cloak
#

100% dodge chance is mid. Ok.

latent moon
latent moon
#

And also you don't have control of your build

cosmic berry
#

guys who is the narrator of the story?

#

or is that a spoiler?

carmine cloak
#

Wdym who?

high island
#

You don't need 100% for it to be good.

cosmic berry
brisk trail
#

Also I'm really close to the Elysium boss and I'm scared lol, any tips? I'm using aspect of chaos shield

carmine cloak
#

The narrator is the narrator.

cosmic berry
#

is it hades?

#

oh

#

so its just breaking the 4th wall?

carmine cloak
#

No? Narrators talking to the audience is a thing literally every narrator does.

#

It's kinda hard to narrate without doing that.

high island
#

Narrator is hinted at to be Homer.

carmine cloak
#

It is?

cosmic berry
carmine cloak
#

How what?

brisk trail
#

Does anyone have tips on the Elysium bosses

carmine cloak
#

Don't die.

#

In all seriousness, practice.

cosmic berry
#

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

carmine cloak
#

I just dash to avoid the spear throw.

cosmic berry
#

and when he starts phase 2, abuse that and hit him as much as you can while avoiding the hits from the gods

carmine cloak
#

I sometimes kill both at the same time.

high island
#

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.

cosmic berry
#

oh

carmine cloak
#

And yeah when he "calls" it's a good opportunity to hit him as counterintuitive as that sounds.

high island
#

But it's not directly stated that the narrator is Homer.

carmine cloak
#

We know what Homer looks like?

cosmic berry
#

guys

#

i have all the keepsakes

#

why havent i gotten the achievement?

carmine cloak
#

Eventually I just learned to take a little damage, provided I had some sort of damage reduction by then.

cosmic berry
#

do companions count towards the achievement?

carmine cloak
#

Maybe you're still missing one?

cosmic berry
#

no

high island
brisk trail
#

Should I take Poseidon's boon with chaos shield or do I take the pomagranate

carmine cloak
#

What was the last one you got?

brisk trail
#

last posieson boon?

carmine cloak
#

Yeah you're missing one.

high island
#

History is a lot of maybes. tizomg

brisk trail
carmine cloak
#

Sorry I was talking to the screen shot.

cosmic berry
brisk trail
#

Ooh

carmine cloak
#

Yea

cosmic berry
#

let me guess

high island
#

The screenshot won't talk back to you.

cosmic berry
#

i gotta beat the epilogue

carmine cloak
#

Nah

cosmic berry
#

to unlock it

carmine cloak
#

You'll get it soon.

cosmic berry
#

is it literally just playing the game?

brisk trail
#

Can I send to dms or smth

cosmic berry
#

honestly'

#

idk what to run for any weapon other than the bow

carmine cloak
brisk trail
high island
#

Nobody does. You can upload it to imgur or something and link that. Image embeds are fine.

brisk trail
#

ok

carmine cloak
#

I wonder why embeds are fine but uploads are not.

cosmic berry
#

idk

high island
#

I guess so you can't upload malware. Idk. Because the devs decided them's the rules.

brisk trail
#

I mean the only thing from Poseidon I have rn is flood shot

high island
#

No other boons?

brisk trail
#

No other boons from poseidon

high island
#

That wasn't my question. tizomg

carmine cloak
#

I remember passing on a hammer for a pom once.

#

I really wanted a pom.

brisk trail
#

I really don't wanna install imgur just for this one thing, so I'ma list em lol

carmine cloak
#

I think I passed on a chaos gate for a pom as well.

high island
#

You can also just make a private discord server rq and upload it there and link that.

brisk trail
#

Oh shoot ur right

high island
#

Skipping hammers can be fine. You'll see it again.

cosmic berry
#

from what ive seen

#

you get 2 hammers max a run

carmine cloak
#

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.

high island
#

Yes. But you'll keep being offered them until you pick 'em up.

brisk trail
#

Ignore the god mode LMAO

high island
#

3D Hades. tizomg

carmine cloak
#

Getting some flat damage shenanigans to level 5 before furies is neat.

cosmic berry
#

i didnt know

carmine cloak
#

And yeah that's why passing on a hammer is not always bad.

high island
cosmic berry
#

also people

brisk trail
cosmic berry
#

the cutscene that played on my 11th escape

carmine cloak
#

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.

high island
#

Still not a guy. tizomg

cosmic berry
#

will that play on every time now?

brisk trail
#

i use the spear exclusively

high island
carmine cloak
#

There are a bajillion different quips for winning a run.

brisk trail
#

what other weapon would i use to switch things up a bit

high island
carmine cloak
#

I never had that problem. I let dark thirst decide what I play.

high island
#

Hydraulic Might is fine.

brisk trail
carmine cloak
#

Hydraulic Might can be ok.

brisk trail
carmine cloak
#

Just let dark thirst decide

brisk trail
#

i refuse to touch the bow

carmine cloak
#

10 seconds feels like 5 minutes in Hades.

#

I would stop refusing to touch the bow but it's your decision.

brisk trail
#

okay now imagine 45 seconds

#

Alr guys wish me luck I'm entering the chambers of Elysium boss woo

high island
#

If my encounters last 45 seconds, I'll retire. tizomg

brisk trail
#

i feel like I'm too overpowered this early in the game

#

Thesseus kinda fruity fr

carmine cloak
#

That just means you made good choices.

brisk trail
#

should i just stack on heat

carmine cloak
#

Do in you know the myth of Theseus?

brisk trail
#

i want more of a key spamming experience

high island
#

If you want more of a challenge, use more challenging pacts, sure.

brisk trail
#

what would you suggest my approach would be for pacts

#

idk them very well

#

i have mods

carmine cloak
#

Theseus in the myth was a dude who very much let his hero-ness go to his head.

high island
#

Try everything to get more experience with all of them.

#

Whatever sounds fun.

carmine cloak
#

He pretty much thought he could get away with anything because he was just that awesome.

brisk trail
carmine cloak
#

A samurai with a mechanical arm?

brisk trail
#

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

carmine cloak
#

In the end Theseus caused his own downfall by angering a few women.

brisk trail
#

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

carmine cloak
#

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.

brisk trail
#

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

carmine cloak
#

Depends

brisk trail
#

theres a full fleshed out story

carmine cloak
#

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.

brisk trail
#

it has progression, and i love it because of that

#

Why is Cerberus here 😭

carmine cloak
#

For starters the whole point of a Roguelike is to play it again and again. Being too 'long' would work against it.

brisk trail
#

you shall not pass

#

that is why

carmine cloak
#

Nobody wants to play a 20 hour game over and over.

#

Also it's literally Cerberus's job to keep people from leaving.

tired karma
#

He does a bad job

brisk trail
#

So is temple of styx hard?

tired karma
#

No

carmine cloak
#

Keep going and find out.

brisk trail
tired karma
#

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

carmine cloak
#

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.

haughty bloom
carmine cloak
#

I'm not sure it matters which door you pick.

tired karma
#

Non skulls take longer and have lower chances

carmine cloak
#

How do they take longer?

tired karma
#

99% of time I need only 2 when I pick skulls

carmine cloak
#

And do they really have lower chances?

#

So your evidence is purely anecdotal.

haughty bloom
#

Sounds like a random fact he just made up

brisk trail
#

Oh no I'm on 41/150

tired karma
#

Because you just need to kill the mini boss and few mobs
Which is faster

Instead of having tons of mobs spawn in waves

tired karma
haughty bloom
#

I’ve only done one boss room and it was a tiny rat that took longer than mob waves

carmine cloak
#

Is this true, experienced players reading this?

#

Tiny vermin takes a long time.

tired karma
#

He is the only issue
But he is rare
Most of the time it's weaker mini bosses

brisk trail
#

Noo I died :(

#

Anyway

#

How do I unlock Aspect of Beowolf

haughty bloom
#

I think you need to invest 5 points into an aspect that isn’t zag

#

I was about to ask the same q

zealous sparrow
#

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

carmine cloak
#

The key to killing the Satyr Cultist is to not get hit.

cosmic berry
#

also

#

try to stun lock him

carmine cloak
#

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.

tall trench
#

does "swift strike" from Hermes ("Your Attack is faster") increase the draw speed of dash-striking with the bow?

flat bloom
flat bloom
tall trench
#

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

mike did u end up editing ur mirror guide in the new players channel?

gray apex
#

I did not because I want to make a more elaborate one

tall trench
gray apex
#

And maybe change the format a bit so it’s not a wall of text

flat bloom
#

i see, glhf ig

brisk trail
#

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?

flat bloom
#

not always, sometimes u want ur casts back bc they deal the massive damage for u

#

in a cast build

brisk trail
#

Oh so which boons should I aim for with it?

gray apex
flat bloom
gray apex
#

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

flat bloom
#

ive also seen aphro added for parting and smair

gray apex
#

Yea that's the other route

#

I like that more

#

But I'd take Snow burst over both

#

Easy to get and really good

flat bloom
#

im not a fan of snow burst on poseidon

#

for some reason

haughty bloom
flat bloom
#

talk to chaos

haughty bloom
#

is that the person offering dodgy deals for hp

flat bloom
#

umm… theyre a god who gives benefits if you are cursed with a curse mid run

cosmic berry
#

guys

#

can you reroll hammers?

north shell
#

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

haughty bloom
#

do i need to unlock guan yu before any other hidden aspects

north shell
#

don't think so

flat bloom
#

just a one time thing i think

flat bloom
carmine cloak
north shell
#

well that kinda messed up my build a little but

#

we'll see how it goes

#

still got my epic zeus cast right after

carmine cloak
#

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'?

haughty bloom
#

who hurt you?

carmine cloak
#

Nobody? It's just a question.

haughty bloom
#

you seem awfully upset at people asking questions on a public discord

carmine cloak
#

Upset how?

haughty bloom
#

passive aggression in most things ur typing

carmine cloak
#

Is it?

haughty bloom
#

'same way you get anything else' 'just play more'

carmine cloak
#

Sorry I guess? Wasn't aware.

haughty bloom
#

if theres a specific requirement its hardly answering a question

carmine cloak
#

Is that passive aggressive?

haughty bloom
#

yes

#

if not, obnoxious

carmine cloak
#

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.

gray apex
cosmic berry
#

i just faced em4 hades

#

for the first time

#

i died.

brazen matrix
#

Fair enough

#

He's very hard

cosmic berry
#

how many times does he do the heal move?

brazen matrix
#

Twice i think?

gray apex
cosmic berry
#

bruh thats op

carmine cloak
cosmic berry
#

so what am i supposed to do?

slow meadow
cosmic berry
#

out damage his heal?

gray apex
#

Usually you dont want him to come of the darkness very far away from you

brazen matrix
carmine cloak
#

What's passive aggressive about that?

gray apex
#

And yea if your damage is good enough you can also do that

cosmic berry
gray apex
#

But generally speaking it's not

brazen matrix
#

Now, the question is : How to outdamage that thing?

gray apex
cosmic berry
#

so really the only thing you can do is outdamage his heal

gray apex
#

He wont keep swapping

#

He'll only try once

cosmic berry
#

does he have a healing cap
?

#

or can he heal to max health if you let him

gray apex
#

I don't think so

hardy spear
#

outdamaging his heal isnt very hard on low heat tho

gray apex
#

Yea

#

It's doable even at high heat

silent willow
#

yay, new pb AmagiSpeeeeeen 13:07

hardy spear
#

yay

gray apex
#

Nice

cosmic berry
#

whats the point of doing the game high heat anyways

gray apex
#

fun

silent willow
#

wasn't even hurrying until I got to styx and saw I'm below 12min AkagiLUL

carmine cloak
silent willow
#

got lucky with a sack in 2 and there we are

gray apex
#

When you get enough practice and experience even doing upwards of 45 heat becomes trivially easy

brazen matrix
cosmic berry
#

is there an achievement for beating the game high heat

carmine cloak
hardy spear
#

you get a skelly statue in the courtyard for some milestones up to 32

silent willow
#

there are statues for up to 32

#

yeah exactly

hardy spear
#

achievement for 20 heat

silent willow
#

I'm still pretty low personally but, it's a fun climb

cosmic berry
#

what are all the achievements?

hardy spear
#

theres 49

silent willow
hardy spear
#

you mean like heat achievements?

gray apex
carmine cloak
#

Unless it's like a Poseidon Zeus combo then I mysteriously kill everything in no time flat.

hardy spear
carmine cloak
#

At least by my own standards.

silent willow
#

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

carmine cloak
#

But the moment I start relying on a single build to do anything is probably the moment I quit the game altogether.

cosmic berry
#

also guys

#

i just saw

#

i have one of the 3 rarest achievements in the game

#

getting the butterfly to 30%

hardy spear
silent willow
#

EM1 barely changes things, EM2 makes lernie easier, and TD is what I do anyway AkagiLUL

cosmic berry
#

only 7% of people have it

#

let me be proud for a sec

hardy spear
carmine cloak
#

I don't think EM Lernie is easier at allm

#

I'd rather fight EM heroes.

hardy spear
#

lernie ends my runs sometimes at high heat

silent willow
cosmic berry
#

is there a reward for beating em4?

silent willow
#

super chaotic

hardy spear
#

theres just a lot of attacks going on and not much space during his second invincibility phase

silent willow
carmine cloak
#

Bunching them up together may make killing them faster if you're good but it's also much harder.

flat bloom
#

em2 is hard to get used to

silent willow
#

yeah trans lernie is the hardest one imo, just cause of how many rocks fall

carmine cloak
#

EM heroes are easier than Lernie.

hardy spear
cosmic berry
#

do yall play with em4?

carmine cloak
#

I don't understand the question.

hardy spear
#

em3 is spicy

carmine cloak
#

I what what does that mean?

flat bloom
gray apex
silent willow
#

can't wait to play em3 after I beat 5 heat, pff

carmine cloak
#

It's spicy but Lernie is harder.

silent willow
#

sadly I can't play much

hardy spear
silent willow
#

uni stuff keeping me busy, and soon I'm going back to uni and will be unable to play for a couple weeks SelenDead

carmine cloak
#

No it's literally melee aspects that kill me during Lernie most.

hardy spear
#

isnt melee more of a problem for em3

silent willow
#

and thus begins the vicious cycle of getting rusty in 2 weeks and failing to get back in shape over 2 days pff

carmine cloak
flat bloom
silent willow
hardy spear
carmine cloak
#

How is EM heroes bad for melee?

gray apex
#

Bow? bouldy

hardy spear
carmine cloak
#

What about it?

silent willow
#

I barely ever use specials with bow tbh

hardy spear
silent willow
#

ah, I use hera

#

rama is the only hidden aspect I don't have yet pff

flat bloom
carmine cloak
#

Look, EM Lernie makes me lose defiances, EM heroes do not idk what to tell you.

hardy spear
carmine cloak
#

Idk how one spin to win move makes a difference.

hardy spear
carmine cloak
#

Just wait until it's over or tank it?

silent willow
#

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 AmagiSpeeeeeen the curse of the spear is lifted

hardy spear
gray apex
#

Yea but it shreds them

carmine cloak
#

Or wait until it's over, I said.

hardy spear
#

i-

carmine cloak
#

You?

silent willow
#

how bad does TD get at high heats?

carmine cloak
#

I'm sorry am I being passive aggressive again?

silent willow
#

so far I'm playing with EM1-2 and TD1 and usually end with ~15min left

hardy spear
flat bloom
#

u hv to get sub 20 w td3

silent willow
#

I'm guessing stuff like FO gives you less opportunities to attack?

flat bloom
#

fo makes times faster bc enemies spawn faster

silent willow
#

oh FO speeds up spawns?

#

yes please

brazen matrix
#

Yeah, just tank it

carmine cloak
#

EM heroes just doesn't have a stage that is 99% lava.

flat bloom
#

its that easy

carmine cloak
#

Yeah ok it's 99% magma sorry for using the wrong word.

silent willow
brazen matrix
#

Don't go in the red liquid that's very dangerous
Yeah, sounds easy

flat bloom
#

plus experience

carmine cloak
#

Actually I think the Phlegethon was supposed to be made of fire but what do I know?

flat bloom
#

u got this

silent willow
#

should get to uni work now but hoping to continue this streak in the evening pfff

carmine cloak
#

I mean I don't know what to say. Do you think I don't know the red liquid that's everywhere is dangerous?

flat bloom
#

just dont sleep tn

silent willow
#

got to 5 right now, which is usually the time it gets ruined by spear, but this time spear gave me pb AmagiSpeeeeeen

flat bloom
#

congrats!

carmine cloak
#

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?

silent willow
#

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

carmine cloak
#

Isn't that a normal thing to happen?

#

It's like facing coven and never taking any damage.

silent willow
#

13:07, almost 2min faster than my last

#

prouds c:

carmine cloak
#

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.

silent willow
#

KianaShrug 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

north shell
#

gg tho

carmine cloak
#

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.

silent willow
#

yeah but you take what, 2-3 damage until you can get back on solid ground

carmine cloak
#

Like why do I even need to explain this I don't understand.

silent willow
#

and you can dash through attacks AmagiSpeeeeeen

#

you don't need to dash away, you have all 360 degrees of directions

silent willow
#

the magma isn't all around you

carmine cloak
#

There's magma in every direction.

silent willow
#

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

carmine cloak
#

I'm sorry for not being super epic at movement like you people but why is it so criminal?

hardy spear
#

who said it was criminal

carmine cloak
#

That seems to be implied.

hardy spear
#

shes just trying to help

flat bloom
#

i think ppl were just incredulous when u said u can tank asterius beyblade

carmine cloak
#

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'?

haughty bloom
#

manock why are you still beefing people

carmine cloak
#

Also this embarrassing to ask but English is not my first language.

#

What does incredulous mean?

north shell
#

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"

carmine cloak
#

I mean idk what to say I did that like one or two times because I had mad damage reduction?

brazen matrix
#

Oh, with damage reduction
Yeah, it can work then

carmine cloak
#

You'd think that'd be implicit.

hardy spear
#

do you have god mode on?

carmine cloak
#

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.

silent willow
#

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

carmine cloak
#

Not much experience using that weapon, but I frequently lost count.

silent willow
#

Cause I forget and just throw it every few hits pfff

carmine cloak
#

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.

silent willow
#

I forget cast builds exist, pff
I always just use cast as free extra dps + boiling blood proccer

carmine cloak
#

It seems to me that cast builds are the main reason to use Achilles.

silent willow
#

well, artemis attack + poseidon dash achilles just got me pb AkagiLUL

carmine cloak
#

The attack is too fast to warrant interrupting your flow every 4 attacks.

silent willow
#

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

carmine cloak
#

Why is that so offensive?

silent willow
#

I remember hammers by their functionalities more than names pfffff

carmine cloak
#

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.

carmine cloak
#

I mean not that I'm great at EM heroes either but I never unintentionally lost defiances to them.

silent willow
#

also gosh, seeking fire fixes so many of my problems with rail HEFSAmeWheeze grabbed it for the prophecy the other day and it felt so smooth

#

no more misses

hardy spear
#

are you on mouse and keyboard?

carmine cloak
#

I just use aim assist.

silent willow
#

I was told to disable attacking at cursor but it's just

#

it feels weird to use imo

north shell
#

does Impending Doom have a stack cap?

carmine cloak
#

I would assume it doesn't since it has a hard non refreshable timer.

silent willow
#

could never get used to it

carmine cloak
#

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.

silent willow
#

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

carmine cloak
#

My brain isn't the fastest.

#

Sometimes it takes me 3 seconds to process something a person just said.

silent willow
#

today I did it without thinking, wasn't hurrying with this spear run until I'm clearing a styx path and suddenly go SuiseiRaisedEyebrow when I see the clock is only at 12min

left scaffold
#

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).

carmine cloak
#

They do.

north shell
#

i assume

silent willow
#

not fully certain though

north shell
#

yeah

left scaffold
#

Thanks @north shell @silent willow

carmine cloak
#

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.

brisk trail
#

just finished another run

#

woo

carmine cloak
#

GG

brazen matrix
#

GG

silent willow
brisk trail
#

i think this is like my third or fourth

silent willow
#

gooood c:

carmine cloak
#

You'll notice that once you break the barrier the game gets a little easier.

brisk trail
#

yeah

#

it seems like i saw through everything like butter

silent willow
#

ah

brisk trail
#

i cannot live without divine strike

carmine cloak
#

Hangover boons are worth noting since the increase can't go below 1 per stack, so...

hardy spear
#

rarity increases the base number, pom upgrades always increase by a fixed amount regardless of rarity

brisk trail
#

i main the aspect of hades spear

carmine cloak
#

Rarity bonuses are significant enough to make a notable difference, but never so great that a common version is outright bad.

hardy spear
#

rarity matters different amounts depending on the boon

carmine cloak
#

Epic rush delivery is kreygasm

#

Common is still amazing.

#

Pressure points just doesn't matter XD

brazen matrix
#

Side Hustle is great no matter the rarity

silent willow
#

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

carmine cloak
#

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.

hardy spear
#

arty is pretty good for rail special

carmine cloak
#

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.

brazen matrix
#

I'm not a big fan of Artemis to be honest
Critical hits are good, but i can't really play with them

north shell
#

I GOT ME IN TARTARUS

carmine cloak
#

Or use a weapon with natural crit and Aphrodite/Artemis.

brazen matrix
#

YEAH, ME !

north shell
#

that's so lucky lmao

#

shame i'm first time shield so i prob will throw the run

carmine cloak
#

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.

brazen matrix
#

Which ones?

carmine cloak
#

Merciful End, the thingy that gives crit rate after deflect, and Heart Rend.

brazen matrix
#

Good luck getting that

carmine cloak
#

You also need a way to weave Weak into the rotation.

#

I guess the easiest way is with the cast.

gray apex
#

Getting all of that is both unreliable and overkill

carmine cloak
#

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.

fleet belfry
#

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?

shrewd cradle
# fleet belfry 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.

rancid panther

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.

Yep

north shell

you'll get him next time

north osprey
#

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

north shell
#

god mode is easier

#

you mean the other one you select when you create a game file?

#

forgot what it's called

willow wedge
#

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

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

vital spade
#

Kidnap

north shell
#

sort of but like

#

the girl went there by her own will apparently, they just forced her to stay

vital spade
#

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

north shell
#

yea some of his points are reasonable but then the other 90% is just bs

vital spade
#

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

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

Wait

#

Wdym then

vital spade

It wont let me unlock the second and third aspect

cyan jolt

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

You gotta press in the button on the right

On the +

vital spade

I am that’s what I’m saying lol
