How?
i see
Eh, I have Privileged Status, i just need another cc boon.
someone tell me if twin shot is gonna work as good as hera as i think it
Is that another name for Rush Delivery? or is there a legendary that the wiki doesn't have.
considering all my other hammers are for special im still probably gonna take it
Ye, is there a problem?
how can people say spear is 4th best weapon when spear has flurry jab
Guan Yu guide: #h1-discussion message
Shorthand for Hyper Sprint + Rush Delivery.
Flurry, Twin, and Triple Shot are by far the best Hera hammers.
Ah.
stygius wipes I'm afraid
yes
I got words for u
Rerolling the boon 3 times wasting 6 dice and still not getting the stupid stupid duo I wanted
indubitably garbo
don't reroll twice
silly goose
whyyyy i wanted the duo
we had this conversation yesterday
This is why Authority better/j
cannot believe u would say this
*Arguably...
i was most certainly not part of this conversation
could you maybe link a message from the conversation so I can read the facts and analysis on why I shouldnt ever reroll more than once
Trash luck, git gud
not that conversation
oh
it was about fists
Then why shouldnt we reroll more than once
But honestly that's my feel with Fated Persuasion, specially with the increasing interest.
but you're better off just hoping you get them again
generally
unless it's like styx
Styx go ham
roll four times who cares
ok but if I want a duo and I use 6 dice to reroll 3 times am I the clown or is the RNG the clown
assuming I am 100% sure I meet the duo requirement
you
damn
6 dice amounts to 6 single rerolls or 4 doubles
pools only if UC right?
20 heat is fulfilled without needing uc
I do hl1 em3 bp2 mm fo1 td2
is dio cast still good on hera
yeah but you need stygian soul
and extra casts
or td3 if I'm using an aspect I'm fast wirh
my 16 pact is em4 ri3
I guess yeah... I mean... I still want a cool duo... but yeah, it doesn't make the difference between winning or losing this run.. I guess..
I would rather have legacy than use 6 dice on a single boon
i just get the boons
Nice
Have fun man, they're just saying it's sub-optimal, but if u wanna do it, go off.
I... wasn't even.. disagreeing..
em4 perma since heat 10 bby
I'm just saying don't be discouraged.
how to never 32 heat.....
I'm at 20 bro
Lel.
20 isn't particularly far
It's double 10 tho.
Don't take EM4 until like 50 heat
It fun tho.
i take em4 at 9 heat
Lel, based.
em4 is inherently 10 heat
I take em4 for speed runs
š± š±š±š±š±
That's his point.
em4+fo2 = fun
Facts.
I focus on Middle management and benefits package tho.
More fun enemies
based
Thank you, I plan to be the most based Hades player.
i call second
Lel, let's go.
It's funny that after my worst deaths (high heat where I almost win) Meg comforts me with fun time
maybe there's intended correlation between these scenarios
Indeed.
D=
'Tis random. 
I was mad and then I wasn't
tricky game
Smart.
It gave me a new Vic screen theme right when I had my em4 5 win streak
Correct. And I can beat 32 Heat 100% of the time, which means I can beat 64 Heat 50% of the time with the same effort.
Numbers don't lie.
then why is joel -54 feet tall in all my math problems?
Lel.
since you jump from 8 to 16 and then from 16 to 32 then logically you should jump to 64 after beating your first 32
Bro, God needs to check on Joel, he needs some help
Exactly.
Hey, were u in a stream a few minutes ago?
no
since I speak the truth someone told it before
What's ur biggest gripe?
the 1/10 writing
velma is 0/10
dont get me started on that show bruh
and they actually greenlighted it for season 2
I thought nothing can beat she-hulk as the worst tv show but then they made velma
Thx
probably a lot of people watched it just to see how bad it is and wb is desperate for any traction and attention since they are in 50 bil debt
Quick question: Does anyone know the name of the accessory that Thanatos wears around his neck?
Thanks in advance
How do you get eurydice and orpheus back together
it's a neck brace 
my sense of dark humor holding back the urge to say noose
Neck brace from having nerd neck

Neck ring I believe
rama with twin shot and point blank is so nutty 
Rama gud.
perfect twin is incredible too
ā¦.
Just reset my mirror to get a vic screen theme lol.
does crystal beam have no drop animation
like as soon as you press cast, does it deploy
If it does Iām creaming.
or does zag do the funny thing
funny flippy thing he does whenever he does a standing cast
nvm zag does a throw animation
Can I see?

When I get Rush Kick, My Beloved:
Honestly might switch to persuasion for this.
Fix the lounge, u need gems.
Damn, then I guess it really is worthless, huh?/j
Sure, send a screenshot or vc.
It also might be as simple as u needing to go through a few runs to get it open.
kk.
is the demeter boon rare crop worth to get?
it makes all my current boons become common but random 2 boons level up in rarity every 3 encounters
It's uncommon, not rare, why?
for me it says "your boons become common, then gain rarity every 3 encounters"
random 2 boons
Yep.
It's always worth it tbh.
oh aight, thanks
I played a run with 1 heat
I uh
Died to alecto lol
Lel
(The heat was +20% enemy health)
Maybe i should do a different one
Meg did say she didnt want to fight with her sistersā¦
It doesnāt make all your boons common
It only makes the random 2
ohh i see
so then does it only upgrade those 2 every 3 encounters
Yes
how?
Check your settings
for the button
I donāt know what you are playing on so the easiest way is just to find the button is in the control/keybinds
oh i see it was B i kept pressing I thinking the boon info would show up but it didnt so i thought there wasnt one
it brings up like the full list of your boons, well items, hammers, heat and mirror options equiped
you have to hover over the boons to see what they do
calisthenics program is unironically one of the worst pacts in the game for how much heat it gives lol
at low heat it's fine ofc, but later on when you start increasing it, keeping that on would make things more difficult then it should be
also it should be 15% enemy hp
jury summons is 20% more enemies
Itās never free
it's free if you're using beo šŖ
beowulf doesn't see health bars
Beowulf goes into the game files and disables them
Am I going crazy or does putting on Bone Hourglass keepsake eliminate Charon wells from appearing in Styx??
that's just you
but also wells in styx aren't that common to begin with
generally if you want to benefit from hourglass, you take it into elysium so you can buy from the well right before styx
I was hoping to find Charon wells to buy things but there were 0 wells. I did all of the rooms in Styx and died to Hades from wasting time lol
since your odds of getting a 2 sack is about 50%, it's generally worth it
also i think most well items would last for a 3 sack as well? not sure about that one
I was leveling up the Hourglass so I kept it throughout the whole run
oh fair
Yea
at least you got good progress for the levels i guess lmao
But I always find at least 1 well, but I found none
Thatās crazy lol
There isnāt a guarantee you see any wells
and I think the odds for wells and pools of purging in styx are altered
Ok Iāll have to try another Styx run with it to be sure, Iām just flabbergasted lol
Wiki says itās a reduced rate but not by how much
And wiki has been wrong before
True
but Iād believe it
Since Iāve been going through all the tunnels for runs recently to maximise obol gain and I think that it rings true
because i cant heat up anymore i gotta find a weapon i like to complete the game with
making steady advancements on the quests though and now i'm friend with eurydice
Wdym canāt heat up anymore

I get what you mean

Just saying that 20 isnāt the max lol
someone dared me to go to 32 heat on another server
do it
p3p?
persona 3 (i am unfortunately a weeb)
Also imagine using em4 for 32 heat
Not me literally noticing the typo, deleting the h only to hit h again then hit send
hh
32 heat honestly isn't that bad if you have a good pact and build
def a challenge for the first time, but most people tend to have a horrible pact which leads to a horrible build, which leads to frustration and 50+ tries lmao
Non-td3 non-lc4 
going zeus with chiron worked out for me before i might try that :o
I feel like I'm generally good enough that I can reach hades with all my lives pretty consistently and not lose one fighting him so at least i consideer myself ready enough.... maybe š³
zeus has internal cooldowns so you only get like 1-2 bolts per special
on chiron
also depending on your pact, you might not use DDs lol
idk i feel like i'm spamming thunders often but maybe i just don't notice
My first 32 heat pact involved CP and JS and was like totally awful lol
Enter: Athena
it's per enemy, so if your special happens to hit multiple enemies, you'll get more bolts
I just beat 32 a few days ago after weeks of trying 
but also it is a known mechanic that you only get 1-2 bolts per chiron volley
Matty was so based ngl
i now but i guess idk i had fun doing that and i worked out for m
lmfao based matty
Jumping from 8 -> 32 heat in a matter of like 2 days with no heat inbetween
yeah it'll work for the most part
but also you probably did low heat so anything could go
didn't he also do 40 afterwards lol
after cleaning up his 32 pact
my max with chiron was 20
if you did 32 with chiron with a good pact and build, you'll probably be fine
i'll report on my folly and success/failure ten š
the fact that thunder flourish worked is probably some testament to skill lol
do you want pointers for pact/build lmao
no its fine thank u but i'd like to smash my head against that particular wall
fair enough
if i get my ass kicked tho you might see me running for advice
better win then seethe....
lmao have fun
which mirror power do you guys use more for revives stubborn defiance, or death defiance?
what is lc4
lasting consequences 4
i still have no idea, i am probably not that far ahead and discovered that ig
sadly no, i was close once i had some really good boon combo but the poison from the rats at the end made me loose too much hp so hades fight was hard to do and i died in the end
also dark foresight or olympian favor
rip it do be like that
dark foresight is always better
also i recommend you stick to #h1-for-new-players
so you dont get any more spoilers lol
me in elysium "man those guys are meanies weenies he styx will be easier tho"
me in the styx "NOOO I STEPPED INTO THE GIANT RAT POISON"
styx is generally easier with a good build lol
i feel it's the john wick map
styx is either a breeze or utter suffering
the thing is with styx is that you actually have to clear it fast otherwise poison builds up
i dont get how chthonic vitality works it only restores 3 at max how is that any good
with ely enemies, you can actually take your time because they're generally big rooms
it's consistent
and works in styx
but wouldnt the other one, dark regeneration be better? it can heal a lot more if you find the dark things
unless you're getting eclipse boons from chaos, chthonic vitality heals more throughout the whole run iirc
Because dark regen is inconsistent and the only time it does have a consistent heal is when you already have a well
well the darkness things dont inherently make you win the run while you're in it
this is like
nah yeah the rats's poison is never a problem
but how would 3 hp healed help
the satyrs are annoying
Because itās like a total of 180 by the end of the run
plus dark regen isnāt going to heal you every time
idk why but whenever i go to visit chaos without their keepsake i'm glad to see that slight +3 right before it cut to black lol
i recently found out that there was a thing that could cure the rat poison so before i would die with just stepping in poison once cuz i didnt know how to get rid of it lol
dark foresight is good because you get more boons, poms, coins, etc so you can win runs with better odds
you see less darkness and other meta game currencies because of this
dark regen doesnt work as well because dark foresight actively works against it
like yeah i took 22 dmg...
Plus you take keys and nectars over darkness
but i regenerated 3 and will regenerate THREE MORE hehe
you also get another +3 when leaving don't forget, so free 6 hp back lol
assuming you have that contractor upgrade yeah
so dark foresight works against dark regen?
yes
100%
you just see less darkness (except after bosses, that's guaranteed) and darkness doesn't help you win runs while you're in it
Even if youāre darkness farming tbh
ofc mirror is good and you should upgrade that
but in a run, you technically dont want to see darkness
fair enough
also with dark foresight i want to mention
Oh bruh babies first 32 pact was 
so rn i need a lot of darkness for upgrading mirror to max so i just go with dark regen for right now? i need 1k for death defiance
i only see like 3 or 4 darkness rooms throughout the whole run
If you're still collecting darkness it's fine honestly
not really, since the bulk of your darkness is coming from bosses anyways
HL2, lc1, js2, em2, cp1, bp2, mm, uc, fo2, dc2, td3
oh
how much does heroes give? meg and lernie give 50 and 100 respectively iirc
150 iirc
But it could be 200
Idr
What a š 32 pact lol
No wonder it took me 22 tries
lmao i wonder how long it took me
mine was silly
Mine was mega goofy
Thatās not bad for 32?
š
twere sillty
i also had hs on
nope
not uc
thats fine
hs
i either died to champs or dad lmao
oh yeah one final question, which dash ability from mirror should i use greater reflex or ruthless reflex greater reflex seems more consistent but ruthless reflexes feels more rewarding
it was beo btw
greater
greater
oh ok
Greater 23/24 aspects
ruthless isnt worth it ever
there is one (1) reason to use ruthless
and you shouldnt be doing that anyyways
oh which is
hidden fists
gilg
there are 2 reasons to actually
dodge meme?
i can get near miss pretty constantly tho not always so i thought it would be better but without greater reflexes i felt slow
Better dps and survivability
fair
or a 100% dodge chance with 2 dashes
true
also better movement
rr when they dont get hermes reflex and they are faced against one (1) dad attack:
and combining that with boons that let your dash do damage and inflict curse
ddash 4ever
more dps via dash striking or just dashing in general with tdash
more survivability by just dashing out of the way of hits or empty dashing for iframes
Better movement -> get to enemies and doors quicker
rr with nemesis
not worth
i've only ever seen rr used on beo and gilga
Since misplacing my switch charger I have learned (for reasons that are definitely completely unrelated) that my mouse charger also works to charge my switch.
lmfao
Yes
i've never seen a vid of rr beo lmao
i just see the victory screens
it's only for em4 tho
iirc
i think it's also assuming you dont use cshot
ok i am seeing why chthonic vitality is better than dark regen it helped me live on 1 hp or otherwise i would have been dead without it
also styx
I feel like styx and fountains are 90% of the reason chtonic is better
also curse of pain or divine flourish for the bow special
well i am in first layer so festive fog
and thats it
oh and hammer for 4 extra shots from special
oh
well if you have big special then Divine flourish is pretty funny
oh for aspect i am using artemis aspect because i thought with it equipped i could have artemis give me a rare boon from the start but it didnt work artemis gave me commons
but i usually use the hermes dodge chance one
oh
do you have all weapons unlocked
ok so you know aspects right
oh the ones with blood titan
like the different types of bow
yea
right no i only have shield aspects rn
For
fair
so battle rage for main attack damage boost
Those only force the god in, not guarantee rarities
But also
Rarity on artemis boons doesnāt matter
Except for hunters mark
Hunters mark is the only artemis boon that cares about rarity
hunters dash too right
oh so i found Ares boon he has battle rage and curse of pain but i already have divine flourish equipped for special so i was thinking to switch to curse of pain because it does 120 damage with doom if it hits any enemy once so i thought it could be good for chip damage but now i am second guessing
I think hunter dash rarity is literally a 10% increase per
Take battle rage
aight
fair
i mean yeah but it's still a fairly large increase tbh
wouldn't be a priority but i'd put it above other things
at a certain point
Firstly, Dad's spear plus his call is better than gy easy.
Secondly how is flaring spin not the best hammer ever?
Itās not particularly good tbh
Compared to?
I mean you have your other hades spear options of exploding launcher, charged skewer and serrated point which are dps increases
And then you have quick and massive spin which allow you to inflict the debuff to enemies faster or more at a time
And flaring in comparision kinda just lets you stand there
I doesnāt help the aspect as much as 5 other hammers on it do
And flaring spin is also
on the aspects that can get flurry jab
flaring spin is the one where you get sturdy while charging spin right
society
And there's pulse dmg ye.
āGet sturdy while charging spinā why must society do this to me
Iirc yes
Seems so, I've tried all those hammers and this one is my fav without question.
55% apparently
Ion know tbh.
either way quick spin is just better because you'd get the spin off without taking damage
Ik my High Confidence is at 5% rn.
But the dmg I get as flaring spin is meaningless tbh
and the pulse damage isn't bad i guess, but also you're still likely to get hit so i dont think it's a good trade off
Quick spin is nice but flaring spin has more utility imo
And the pulse.
Exploding launcher, charged skewer and serrated point is all better for your damage
And quick and massive spin mean you donāt have to take as long charging spin to apply the debuff
kills numbskulls and witches easily
can't you just stab them
Well yeah, but if there's a crowd this takes care of em faster.
Plus it looks cool which is the defining reason.
wouldn't quick spin be faster
it would be faster
this is hades spear right
so just like
get a fast spin off
the spin radius is prob bigger than the pulse isn't it
because hades spear
big swing
I wonder if quick spin and massive spin affect the pulsing
99% they wouldnāt but who knows
Than the pulse? nope
unless the pulse is as large as the spin, but idk if that's the case
doesn't hades spear spin cover the whole room tho
Kinda sorta?
more so than the pulses no?
Which it probably isnāt tbh I donāt remember
Not really, there's always an enemy out of range.
couldn't the same be said about the pulse
Hades spear is massive
they'd have to walk/float into range
More could be said unless pulse scale with spin size
if you had quick spin and covered the whole room in one swing, you can just dstrike the stragglers
Nah cuz when enemies attack me with other spins I just lose it, but flaring spin does dot while charging and gives me sturdy
quick spin 
yeah well
spin before you get hit
Donāt spin 2 feet away from an enemy in their attack animation
No, max every time or not worth

But it's fun
then dont do max every time lol
Spinning for lowest time possible so I can start special spamming šŖ
Fair pov.
Nanas r you done challenge of month
i saw lol
Get to 3124 obols (or 5220) by end of run
So zag can buy present for Melinoe
Is this challenge igiven nside or outside the game?
it's this server lmao
Check pins in #h1-builds-and-combat
Talos šŖ
i dont have the patience for a run like that lmao
didn't you do like all aspects
i did 1 and was done with it lmao
I said I was gonna
oh lol
But the Nyaanyaa @āed me about 40 heat and I was like hmm
Maybe I should go back to the main goal
I didnāt do it and I feel weird because I swear I see a lot of people saying they did it
Could just be survivorship bias like
probably
40 heat
Finally got past Lernie, damn
I kinda want to try zeus^2 40 heat to see if Iām just using this challenge as a way of avoiding learning that Iām not good enough for regular 40 heat
me getting back to hades after throwing in the most miserable way for 5 runs in a row
i mean it's worth a shot
So does this game just pick like 2 of the 4 gods in your loot pool to give boons for? Second run now I've started with ares keepsake and only got two ares boons total each run..
Or am I just extremely unlucky
damn, certainly doesn't feel that way
The game always feels like it focuses really hard on just two
Hmm, dire misfortune or impending doom on lucifer doom attack
Think imma go dire
What weapon do tou guys prefer?
I personally go with the fists
Trying to get the last aspect
Eh whatever
I find zag bow and zeus shield to be my favourites but I donāt think there is much of a gap between my least liked and most liked aspects
Got a question. Does choosing triple shot on Hera bow get all the shots loaded up with casts?
Or is it just the central shot thatās loaded up with the cast?
That actually says a lot about todayās economy
Central
Oh ok
Situationally. Not something you usually aim for specifically.
man I don't get why I see people all over recommending guan yu special build
I have +9 heartbreak flourish and +60% from chaos and it only does like 220 damage
With hestia I'd be doing like triple that lol
Seems nowhere near worth it for the monstrous health and healing penalty
oh actually only 200 damage, and fiery presence bumped that up to 235
Which makes me realize I have no idea how damage works in this game I guess
that's why you're just playing it as weird hestia lmao
oh also you need charged skewer
if you're playing guan yu, the best way is to treat it as funky hestia/bow with charged skewer
otherwise, if you want a safe aspect that can deal big damage, hestia is generally the go-to
Well I'm just doing it for the prophecy
Easily my least favorite aspect so far
Now that I think about it, I think I hate all of the spear aspects, which probably means I just really hate the spear lol
Weird I used to use the spear a ton when I first started because I could stay at a safe range with the special
funny enough, that's exactly how you're supposed to play guan yu lmao
The only weapon i really used the special with was the rail
For the others i always forget i have the special
guan yu actually would've done huge damage for you if you had charged skewer tbh
most of them tend to be negligible anyways
what does that one do again?
bow, shield, occasionally fists
I main the fists rn and the special is just there
demeter
yeah you never use special on fists unless you're 1) using dem fists, 2) funky talos tech, or 3) funky dstrike dupper tech mainly used at high level play
meanwhile me being a certified dash spammer anyway
you'll love the last fist aspect then lol
charged skewer?
yeah
Wait it affects the dash attack?
ah
Btw are dmg buffs from boons additive or multiplicative?
so I'd be doing hestia damage at the cost of having the charge it?
so your special becomes like a bow, except it has better aoe and damage
hestia with aoe and that stuff yeah
oh true I guess
Tbh im mainly not using the special cause the hotkey is rather uncomfortable to spam while dodging
You get +2 extra dashes and can hold dash to spam them all with no stop between
so if you hold dash and attack at the same time, you will do four quick dash attacks in succession
additive
so a +60% from chaos on top of +100% from aphrodite is just gonna be 160%
speed and damage reduction is multiplicative
can you jolt/charm hades from doing his beam attack 
yeah
jolt just does damage tho
doesn't stun like charm
also iirc dad might start the beam atk after charm is over? not sure tho
ic so its charm, i had both so i didnt know what did which
fair
AHHH I LOVE THIS GAME
it do be like that
he always starts the attack he was about to cast before being charmed after it wears off iirc
i like charming his spin attack alot and usually when the effect ends he immediately does it
Ig the habbit of spamming left click with any weapon is gonna hurt me a bit
Is athena the only god that changes theseus's main attack or am i just blind
Oh
Artemis is best girl in Hades
it's hard to notice most of the time, also the status effects I think last shorter amount of time than normal so it goes by quick
Wdym cerebus exists
I didn't even know his main attack changed
The spin
I just blast the dude
Athena makes the spin bigger
This is very noticable with the twin fists
Imagine playing as the son of Zag and Artemis
all of Artemis boons are with you from the start, maxed out
Why artemis specifically
It is a funny idea with you starting with all boons from one god but cant get any more
artemis is specifically not interested in men in the mythos
Or just one
P sure she does say that at some point in one of the dual boon dialogue
She also says if he ever makes it to Olympus, she'll probably ignore him like the rest of her family. 
(demeter on demeter fists, dionysus on talos, zeus on zeus shield)
i might do zag bow all arty sometime
and in the mythos zag is the son of zeus
this game is different from the mythos in a lot of stuff
not always actually
dont mean to bash your ships or anything but i just wanted to mention it
I don't care much about ships but using mythos is silly since the game goes against them
Not against you Abigail don't worry
No, actually
in some instances it does, they have changed stuff but not drastically
It was more a sigh of this conversation shows up regularly xD
theres a couple of really excellent videos on hades and the mythos actually
ill grab them bc theyre really interesting
The hilarious part is that, if with Zag theres little and contradictory information, with Mel we have EVEN LESS

I didn't know i was flirting with all of my friends when i invite them over
Ok ok
What are your guys's favourite interactions with other chars?
Even Zeus tried to set her up with Zag
and there were plenty of moments when she shown interest
she's either straight or bi in this game
For me its when you talk to dusa about her relatives then zag asks if he can keep slashing at them and she says "yeah sure thanks for asking"
That one was so awkward for me omg
Deka i swear i will block you
"Hey can i keep killing your relatives?"
"Yeah"
Alecto, she makes me laugh
I just loved being the relationship therapist between orpheus and eurydice haha
i will die for them!
I meant like specific pieces of dialogue
It was skelly
orpheus puts eyeshadow on and cries a specific amount of tears each day to get it like That
Well, all of her dialogue is trash talking zag
Ah autobot
I don't care about you, go ahead
Lemme rephraze
you are a weird hypocrite in my book anyway
I also like how in the true ending persephone sees cerberus and hades and ignores the hell out of hades
At least for the first few lines
its very funny
"Here's my husban-OH HELLO DOGGIE"
lmao
People tried to set me up with guys a number of times, still no interest in men whatsoever. 
would be funny if there were random moments in the styx when Cerberus actually decides to fight back (the sack is rotten or something)
and then he summons all of the enemies from all rooms at the same time and fights you together with them
Good for you but you are not Artemis
I am telling you your conclusion is very far-fetched lol.
Ngl i feel that it would be funny if you could hit cerberus a couple of times to fight him instead of giving the sack
Nothing wrong with interpreting it that way if you like, but it's not a fact.
from their dialogue you clearly see she shows interest
I don't know why some of you pushing her being lesbian so hard when the game clearly goes against that
it's okay to be straight or bisexual and a lot of characters in this game are bisexual (especially the Gods)
Bodied by Dyno. 
Keep forgetting about the autobot
No, you see that; but the premises don't support your conclusion as a fact. It's one possible interpretation.
I fluster out of being shy and socially awkward, like, no interest involved
wats goin on ova here
discussion over artemis and zag but i think we should move on
oh i also really like all the hypnos dialouge knowing full well he physically cannot be sarcastic
People trying to make the goddess of chastity have a child with Zagreus again. 
One quick question: are theese discussions common in here?
I joined yesterday and dont wanna have a repeat of the undertale comunity experience
I wouldn't say common at all, but it pops up every so often if you've been here for awhile lol.
Yeah
tbh the hades community is one of my favorites as fandoms go
especially the speedrunning side
SGG are good community leaders.
Charon
Out of always going shop xD
Lmao fair
I had formed a bond with Lady Aphrodite before I ever even started playing the game, naturally. 
Artie, literally from the moment I met her I was like: This is the one.
For me hermes
Lel.
mine was eury
You couldn't actually form a bond with anyone in the game when I started to play lol.
Ayo, I get it she's such a character
I really love the little portraits they get after bonding
I didn't get to the olympians beyond keepsake after basically finishing max bonds with everyone else
Wait with bond dont you just mean giving one nectar? Sry im just a dumbass
Lel.
I had such good rng first save.
but we mean the little icon you get on keepsakes after maxing out nectar
Finished most of my Cabinet before my 10th win
"Dumbass" isn't a problem in chat.
Yeah mb keep forgetting this is a child friendly server
I assume the bot would get rid of it if it was
yea true
lmao dw i swear like a sailor so it took me a while to get used to
alr got autobot'd twice
right sometimes I have to begrudgingly reword my sentence without swears in it
Generally when i swear its just something minor like the f word or "oh crap"
(Except crap replaced with the not ok one)
The only times my swears are offensive are when the're offensive towards myself
my friends and i say "f you" a lot but mostly jokingly
There, you can use that. 
(entirely jokingly lmao)
Unless someone pissed me off real hard
Oof, I've gotten into trouble for that
...has Hypnos ever been angry at all?
not really
How the hell did i beat charon in my first attempt but then got my butt handed over the next try
(Both tries were in tartarus)
your build and rng probably
The fight took ages the first time as well
In fact the 2nd try felt faster yet i died before even the 3rd phase
Its funny how he does more dmg than hades tho
Ig average shopkeeper in games
Maybe overconfident because your damage was better.
My overconfidence came from the fact that this time i'll likely know how to dodge better
I didnt
Btw i tried the heat thing that makes the first boss be buffed
Was the help from alecto and tisiphone just the lines of circles?
Cause if so that's free heat gauge
Yep
They have various attacks like that as supports, yeah.
I think each of them has 2-3 attacks and picks one of them at random for the duration of each boss phase.
Ngl when i saw all 3 in the room i tought i'd be fighting all 3 at once
Esp cause i had more dmg than i usually do so i tought meg's hp was lowered a bunch and that i'd be fighting them in order
They have 1 or 2 Furies as support, which gives you 9 variations.
Whereas if you fought all three, that's one variation. 
Yeah thats true
Im more used to roguelikes where the first boss is always the same so this is a nice change of pace
lets not talk about the ammount of variations hydra has
Would be awesome to fight all 3, a la champions of Elysium
Lol
LMAO
inb4 it's icarus
Pfft
Icarus salty about the death that he himself brought upon him
daedalus is the scariest of them all
imagine fighting a boss that has all of your weapons with all of his hammers
except the crappy ones
Or, he has a gimmick halfway through the fight, where he swaps your hammers for the worst ones, just messing up your build, and he takes the better ones. Only way youād get your original upgrades back is by beating him
or it's his last laugh, you will not get your original upgrades
imagine u get clockets and he just takes it away to spam them against u
and u get 2 super useless hammers
What stops him from just taking away your weapon
i would defeat him with casts and my divine dash!
hades speedrunning community is literally so awesome
i need ideas of a new hades goal. i just got 32 heat with each aspect, i just did my first 40 heat win.. im kinda getting sick of heat lol
i wana do more speedrunning but i find it frustrating bc i have no mods on xbox.. and also that would require some homework and looking at guides... any other ideas of a new challenge i can make for myself?
Inspiring
i wana do a 40 heat with each weapon maybe, or get sub 10 igt with each weapon.. but im trying to think outside the box and come upnwith somethin more creative
Boonless?
ive tried no hit runs.. i almost did onr but i usualy get hit in styx
i did boonless once that was fun, ill try that again
i definitely need to practice em4 and also get used to more used to forced overtime 2
There are weekly randomized challenges for 32 heat
Wait
Reddit last i checked
lol whaat
I didn't know that big existed XD
could try even higher heats, on the speedrunning side its not too intensive in terms of guides and stuff
since theres no routes to learn and stuff
and no glitches either
The only routes for speedrunning is if you do routed runs
ye
With speedrunning the main thing is mindset I guess
If itās IGT get used to pausing for room choices/boons
If itās real time I believe you put on tight deadline
To not allow survival rooms
I've picked up the Hades Monthly Challenges again, with help from sapphicsirens. Our latest challenge is pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat. 
yeah
more people run igt than rta, its very stress free
you just need to know the build that youre going for and how to kill stuff fast
They mean glitches you need to activate in other games
Like thereās no āleft right cast specialā input on tuesdays with a shimmy to skip 15 rooms
i mean the problems with beo are just that the numbers are wrong for a ton of stuff
yeah exactly
hades has like literally no bugs
or glitches or whatever
And the bugs we do have are features now!
double mirage 
Iāve ran into only one bug/glitch in my almost two years with this game
Iāve had the wrong god keepsake bug
?
Where I have the keepsake still active and I just get another god with no other option
it was really weord
that happens when the god on your keepsake is on an erebus gate
I was fighting Asterius as a mini-boss, and close to the end of the battle I sort of cornered him against the wall, and after I got him down 3/4 of his health, the bell rung. Except he just stood there for a solid five seconds. Then, he just walked through the wall.
Wish I couldāve thought to record that, but it was so sudden and I was laughing my ass off
Oh, I can say ass, thatās good
What's especially funny is when he dies from DOT on his way out.
I always find it funny when that happens
Hey look, a new speed run strategy!
Nah, forcing a boss to sit there is more of a time sink than anything /j
thanks, ya thats perfect i totally forgot about the monthly challenges.. im definitely gona start doin those
i couldnt believe how good my guan yu 32 heat run went. i usualy hate it but i got the hammers that makes ur spin charge faster and go for longer and i just spammed it all day and it was honestly like the easiest run ever
i didnt even get a very good attack boon, i had poseidan.. also i had support fire which seemed to actually be pretty useful
Tempest Strike spin builds can be really good.
Just like... nothing can touch you lol.
ya i had full health the entire run lol
ikr??
Dang, if you didn't take any damage the whole time and if you had on thanatos's keepsake, you would've been deadly.
I thought those words were antonyms
Eh
Thatās like
i took some damage but i always healed immediately
brb
Bruh, if it weren't for divine dash, I would say support fire is the most op boon
Not a lot of damage
so what are you having? Cocaine? meth? LSD?
cuz youāre mad high for calling support fire an OP boon lmao
i think thanatos keepsake is overrated.. even if i do it like perfectly its like 30 to 40% more damage by the end.. which is great and all but not so great to make up for not being able to swap keepsake and having to play very weirdly and safely
It is
yeah
it worked well with rhe guan yu spin move, i imagine it would also work well with zeus shield special
or maybe rama special
Even with that the damage increase is super negligible
It's not neglible.
for cast it goes as soon as u cast whether it hits anything or not
is it just me or does the basic gun attack always suck outside of like tartarus
I mean if you put nothing on it and it isnāt hestia sure
if you put zeus/dio/idk even ares on it it seems pretty good
You'll want Static Discharge and some poms on that for scaling.
but its never felt very poweful tonme no matter what
Lightning Strike on its own is kinda weak there.
Yeah
