So they're almost tied?
Only marginally
Yes, i let my pride blind me
yeah zag sword can take plume as a valid choice
although it mostly relies getting hyper sprint + rush delivery
I see, thanks
beat hades with zeus shield, pretty fun but i wanted to try other weapons, any suggestions?
all 6 hidden aspects are pretty neat
how do i get the hidden aspects
not entirely sure actually
but they each cost 3 titan blood
and can only be found after a certain NPC gives you the phrase to unlock one
ohh ok
There are more specifics pinned in the story channel but you’ll get there just by playing more anyways
You can wiki each one individually
But you gotta get the spear one first
Had a thought about this game
I remember giving Artemis some nectar, and when I claimed her boon she told how she enjoyed one of the nectars I gave
Yeah npcs react like that
Yeah, but I got confused as to if she was talking about a previous one or if she just downed the one I gave 3 seconds ago
Hidden aspect requirements are pinned in #h1-story-discussion, yeah.
Honestly 2nd option is the more funny one
heard here and there that if you reach Hades without having any boon on you there would be special interaction on that
Though I have been stuck in the Temple of Styx for 8 consecutive attempts where the sack is in a boon room
and Fated Authority reroll always roll a boon into another boon.
Is there anything I can do for this, I've been stuck here for 3 hours already folks
You still can get it if you only have boons that cant be sold
So if yoj are forced into gods try to at least aim for one like that
(dem/dio/pos/athena but that needs another athena boon)
I'll look into that, thanks for your response

Does Touch of Styx have any specific requirements to spawn, aside from having SD enabled?
Need it for the prophecy and the one from Patroclus doesn't count, and no luck in wells, wondering if it's just rng or if I'm missing something
It doesn't have any other specific requirements
You may want to try using fated persuasion to reroll the pools if you're fishing specifically for it
yeah, been doing that
thanks
hi, idk if i'm at the right place, but i'm looking for informations about a specific dedalus up for the shield. i am french (and have the game in french) and i can't figure out how it is called in english (and i did'nt found anything about it in french). i can't get this specific up from dedalus and i don't know if there is any requierment to get it. the french name is "disque d'assault" (si y'a des francais qui passent par la, aled x))
ooow I see
just say what it does
might be a different sspelling
i would love to know xDDD
cant you change the game language to english
that might be dashing wallop
might try
i know i kept the assaut in the name to reference the dash attack
yes in french this is assault x)
but no i already ot this one
i will try put the game in english
Hello hellos
it's either dashing wallop or the other one i forget the name of
so it was the other
Tryna get past hades himself rn
got it after two rooms, lol
Nothing you can do about it if you're forced into a boon right before dad. Just gotta do another attempt. 
I needed a few attempts for boonless mirrorless WR because of that. 
anyone got the duo/legendary boons page please?
Duo Boons are a type of Boon which combines the powers of two different gods for a unique effect. Duo Boons can only be obtained when you have the prerequisite boons and, like all boons, are lost when Zagreus dies and returns to the House of Hades.
There are 28 Duo Boons in Hades, shared between 8 different gods: Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena...
This is the discussion about surpassing the pact's options, I wonder what Hades is implying. Any thoughts? https://imgur.com/a/81aAOvh
does deadly reversal require deflecting a projectile or will ddashing proc it?
Every atk in the heroes fight can be deflected but they're not all projectiles lol
Yeah they won't do anything
isn't this after EM4?
Dunno what the trigger for this convo is
My guess is that since Zag overcame Hades at his titan-slaying power level, Hades is implying that Zag is a force to be reckon with. But Zag being who he is, just takes it sort of for granted.
yeah I think it triggers with EM4, altough kinda unfair as Zag still gets help from Olympians where as Hades is just Hades, so I don't think they're actually on the same level
Zag being able to convince everyone to grant him their boons is also a power.
Plus, you can do the fight boonless.
lol no thank you
Let us know how that went for you lol
does having Lord Chaos keepsake equipped give a higher chance for Chaos gates to appear
No.
Not necessarily, just negates damage taken when entering through
Usually only recommended to switch to Cosmic Egg when you see a Light of Ixion in the Well of Charon.
And even then only sometimes.
Good luck!
what's your cast
do you want damage or do youw ant protection
if you're on crush shot i can imagine splash dash going poorly but otherwise it's probably fine
I think you can still make tdash crush shot work on pos sword
I'd take it because it's good damage and opens mirage
idk the exact range
the zeus cast with inflicting chill everytime i use cast
do you have arty boons
artemis? no i dont
i have posidon, athena and zeus i think
and demeter
full god pool?
Also assuming your cores aren't full
5 god pool is fine tbh
Doesn't look like any other duos would open up other than rod
i mean like full god pool before aspho?
If sea storm is also open then I wouldn't
Very possible
i am in elysium rn
Just get the duo
speedrun mod but instead of giving you 4 options first boon it gives you the 8 duo options first boon
i believe i cant get artemis in styx because i already have another boon with posideon
hydraulic might
you cant bc full pool
yeah
You can get arty in Styx if you force it
god keepsake styx
aw man was so close to beating hades but died
does hestia not affect aspect of lucifer
i mean the aspect of hestia which makes manually reloading exygryph do more damage on the next shot not work with aspect of lucifier
you need to select aspect to make it active
you don't get bonuses from any other aspects other than the one you have selected
so hestia bonus only works when you select hestia
They're functionally completely different weapons, not a bonus you stack
oh i thought you could have all aspects active at once
no
Its would be cool to have a built in mod menu to the game
It was js3
js3 cp2 dc1
I didn't want em4 so I needed dc1 ap2
Everything else is maxed but no RI, no em4, no dc2 basically
Yeah lol
Is it possible that I can get queens plan after doing the bonds with the gods
I need two more fated tasks things and I finish all the fated things
And I'm not getting the convo from demeter and I think that's bec of that
you need 6 bonds
I have all the bonds with all the gods
Wot the fu-
does beo take passion at high heat normally?
Already have 9 of the 9 gods bonded with
im an anti beo truther
But didn't get the queens plan just did it before that
yeah
uh
mostly at 45+
Do I keep killing hades with em
Already did her
so then you did epilogue
Nope
bonded with as in past locked heart?
Yes
demeter stays locked until after epilogue
How
I get the convos after doing the family reunion correct?
I did the family reunion but got 0 of the things I should have
The only fated task I have left is queens plan
Confusion
Did you do the Family Reunion quest?
I just didn't get the dem talking abt kore and zues talking abt kore
It's done yes
But I don't have queen plan
Not uncomplete
It's not even there
I've asked the guy or girl in the hades tech support channel
And he told me some stuff that idek what to do with
But didn't wanna be rude
So I just
Quit the game for a couple of days
Hard to guarantee mirage shot with AP2 lol
On ap1 it's doable tho
Just comes with a lot of game experience and knowledge lol
or luck
Also luck yeah
And skill
Looking at ocamls 7:30 50 heat run
My 51 heat build was so much better than my 50 heat lol
Comes with game experience lol
some of that experience is 1erf
I did a good chunk of speedrunning before getting into high heat so I sunk a lot of hours into that and learning the game
I don't reset that often lol
Does woodland theme disappear from work orders at some point regularly
Once you buy it it'll be gone
I got all themes and woodland just disappeared
Same thing with theme infinite
What's that Like what
Work orders
Same thing with sonorous aswell
I remember reading the wiki and there was some weird extra requirement for current darkness for some of the themes
Should be under work orders in the contractor
I'm looking at a website and I see things that I don't have for some reason
Oh you prob didn't get the prereqs then
So only woodland I can do so far
The other two have no prereqs
They just say all other non theme items in work orders
You're probably missing some other work order then
Infinite and sonorous
Ima try getting queens plan and leave hades for some days weeks maybe months
So ye bye
noooo olympian keepsake + refreshing nectar + 2 rerolls wasn't enough for a duo boon 
dont roll twice
it was a trial room
Trials can't give duos
Lmao
You're pissing them off they don't wanna give you duos
And other gods don't wanna get more involved
i wasted my nectar...
Lmao rip
lesson learned 🛐
Its so cool that these exist! I don't think I've ever seen those before. Do they just change the overall aesthetic? The ability to customize on such a grand scale is a fun concept.
that is the boon view menu isnt it
the first time when i read it i thought boon view menu was viewing boon selections
that makes sense, still a cute detail, like the side bar during runs boon menu or the extension of the codex boon menu?
No those don't get changed
It's mostly just the victory screen
Your boon menu also gets changed but you'll have to open it to see
the sidebar gets little theme-y accents
Wait what
Nectar makes rare boons more likely?
eurydice's buff
Oh
Is zag a homosexicle
hello beautiful SG community members, so good to be here. ive recently been lovingly crafting vids of my Hades runs for my youtube channel & plan on posting the first one tomorrow, & would love to share my joyous experiences playing this one-of-a-kind game with anybody who loves it as much as i do. would it be appropriate to link to my Hades vids here, and if so which channel do they belong on? tysm & very much looking forward to engaging with the community 💜🖤💜
#self-promotion probably
unless you want like gameplay feedback, and then you can maybe post it here or #h1-builds-and-combat but like every once in a while probably not too often
or post it in #self-promotion and then drop the message link in one of those two places and ask for advice
omg these emotes im dyin 😭 too perfect. thanks yall it's good to be here :3
holy christmas trees im terrible with aspect of beowulf I just died to the medusa boss / falling whatever thing in asphodel 😂
I will certainly take a look and give you feedback if you want? ^^
It's cool that people can reunite with a same passion ^^
for lucifer would artemis' boons benefit it more or zeus' boons
So I have 300 coins and I'm at the Temple. Do I buy 2 boons from lady Demeter or get a pom and try to upgrade my Frost Strike one last time?
It's already level 5, so I'm not sure if I should pick the pom and wish for some luck
Poms on Frost Strike don't really do too much past Lv.3ish probably.
Buy the boons and get some t2 boons from her.
Killing Freeze ideally if you don't have that yet.
Lol I got rare crop for the first
Well, probably wanna pick another one. 
I got rare crop for both pulls XD
ahh so glad someone is already interested :3 i definitely welcome feedback, im a pretty mediocre player, stuck at around 20 heat rn, i feel like ill never see that last skelly statue 😩
If you want help with 32 Heat, just ask away in #h1-high-heat-strategies. 
And I use my cast a lot
You can get your roles in #bot-commands by the way.
zeus if you already have zeus atk
I'm stuck at 10 so... But I don't really play with a kind of strategy sooo
Ravenous Will is great, yeah.
when you have zeus atk, you want to keep getting zeus for jolted + maybe a chance at splitting bolt
m stuck at 53. 
i haven't tried past 51 
Krkr good luck ! ❤️
Mainly because I haven't been playing for a few days and did speedruns instead when I did play. 
With the boons I got, I'm also going Arctic blast
I'm sure you can do it !
Me?
You all seem to be wonderful and i'm sure you will succeed !
Yep
yeah i already had that so i went for zeus and got epic static discharge its pretty nice on lucifer
awe, we can help eachother then :))) 💜 i talk a lot of strategy in my vids so maybe u will derive some benefit
Going for that final boss, wish me luck 
Yeah, just need to not get garbage AP2 boons on Chiron lol. Just a matter of time tbh.
You have been really helpful with me since i've arrived and give me tips and link that helped a lot and nah i'm interested in strategic ways.
good luck, hope you can beat it
Seems good to me !
I tried a run earlier that really got me bad
Good luck !
good luck u got this!
There's a decent guide for heat progression pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies btw. By RidiculousHat.
That might be of some help for finding good pacts.
Asking for "luck" without specifying if good or bad is risky. 
I think I did to improve and find my weapon. Understand how they all work and learn how to have a good build ! ❤️💜
But unfortunately, changing from french to english is a bit of difficult to understand strategy because I dunno all the traductions krkr
In french it's worse when you want to say good luck to someone sometimes krkr
"have luck"
Oh, you mean a good pact build?
We don't call pacts "pact builds". Build refers to boons and hammers and all that in a run.
i always found it funny that we tell ppl to break their legs before an important event in english
I used shield and really blocked all the bosses attacks forever until I memorized their actual attack patterns best I could then I went on chiron bow and it was much much easier after all that
shield kinda gud
what is this thing i have never seen it before
I was caught slipping
you bought that contractor upgrade for fated authority didn't you
i always made the most headway with the shield before any other weapon for this exact reason. now i kind of avoid the shield at all costs bc im so bored of it haha, blocking just feels so ungraceful as a play style sometimes & i end up having less fun
when you pick up keys
oh yeah i did
yeah that's what that is
is that a bad upgrade or smth
THE WORST FEELING 😩
since you haven't unlocked that prat of the mirror yet, it's fated authority, so you can reroll door rewards
nah it's good
well the contractor upgrade is

oh
fated authority isn't that great, but you dont really have a choice in the matter atm
wait so do i only get 1 reroll per run or per chamber
well it's good if you dont have any other option i suppose lol
run
oh
yeah
same, the shield was the only way I could beat the final boss the first couple of times, but now that I know what I'm doing I enjoy all the other options
Bro I was so close, Beams hitting the man for some crazy damage
those type of contractor upgrades incentivize picking up meta game rewards in the late game when you dont really need them
When you go up in heat you’ll have to mix a bunch of pacts together. A lot of newer players tend to pivot towards tougher pacts and miss some strats, although some stuff is not very intuitive, so that guide is a good place to start so you get used to the good pacts that are whats considered the fundamentals of high heat and you avoid the bad pacts that hurt your runs a lot more than they appear to be doing.
Use Fated Authority to reroll into keys to get more rolls to reroll into more keys to use to unlock the mirror and switch to Fated Persuasion. 
Rip.
i see
so thats why end game players dont like darkness as a room reward
i only ever play w fated authority. i cant stand not having the ability to try for stacking boons of a certain god, esp bc most of my builds involve only 2 gods except for maybe an an athena dash & hermes obvi
yes! the shield kind of paves the way & then u outgrow it. for me at least lol. i would prob have fun w it now tho since i havent used it for so long
Persuasion way stronger, though.
Ooooh I see, thanks ! 💜
Persuasion is just way stronger in multiple dimensions
That's why like 100% of speedruns use Persuasion and 99.9% of high heat runs use Persuasion. (The 0.1% in high heat are @analog elbow.
)
I don't play with the same weapon every time and do stupid things sometimes. Like volunterely lost a live to get chaos
well there is a contractor upgrade that makes them useful, it's just that it's a marginal bonus lol
Persuasion is changing room. The other one is bad?
authority is room change
Persuasion is changing boons
persuasion is the gud one
I gonna be honest, I never look at the name of the mirror powers, I just call em the green ones or by what they do. I've started to put up a screenshot of the mirror up when in the discord lol
aight fated persuasion is at the very bottom of the mirror and is green
the one with the funky dice and is super expensive
you can buy 4 of those things
Uber useful
omg i had no idea i was in such a small minority on preferring fated authority lmao everybody cept me is dissing it xD
we hate 🤬😡 fated authority
It kind of just doesn’t help anywhere near as much tbh
stacking boons from 1 god is generally only good for like zeus lol
typically, in most builds you want to aim for a duo so persuasion is good for that
also, rerolling chaos and hermes boons as well as well items (and sometimes pool of purging) into something you want is extremely strong
You’ll need a ton of rng and a good amount of experience to make Fated Authority work
plus even zeus builds still want fated persuasion for hermes
for flat damage soup yeah
lol it's just that after 2+ years of competitive high heat and speedruns in the game, some choices become very obviously stronger.
Yeah that's exactly what I meant. I couldnt beat heat 5 on like any weapon when I started. I got lucky with some amazing boons and escaped my first ever time with rail! Then couldnt win anymore. Then I swapped to shield, kept losing but made progress and eventually beat each attempt up to heat 11 then swapped to bow and was like "wow this is so much more fun now that I'm not getting constantly destroyed!"
Ngl you could nerf Fated Persuasion to only work with Lord Hermes boons and I'd still take it over Authority.
i always go for a combo of 2, not just one lol. im always gunning for super specific duo builds so thats why i like authority bc i only want those two
Persuasion helps to get that duo along with everything else
yeah lol
I too am considered practically royalty when talking about doing stupid stuff 😄
if authority let you roll into more then 2 hermes it would be good
would it
No
Idk

lmao
It would be better
im sure persuasion is technically better, i just have more fun w authority 😜
the effectiveness of either of the re-rolls is going to depend on weather you have the ones above it switched to better legendary/duos or more rares/epics.
true
you guys don't do hoarding slash every run?
lmao
Not really
Persuasion lets you reroll a boon that's buffed with Refreshing Nectar or Yarn of Ariadne + god keepsake (both of which increase Duo Boon odds).
i haven't picked up a 2nd sword hammer in so long 
Whether or not you have god’s legacy/pride means nothing for authority/persuasion
Yeah, not really. Persuasion just outclasses Authority by miles, unfortunately.
why would i want a 2nd hammer when i'm speedrunning sword
Authority enables my stupid builds to work on high heat
This convo has been had many many times
I do fun runs with Authority once in a while too lol.
Agreed, 100%
Breaching slash gud but too late for it to matter in ely I think
Authority is best when you want to avoid boons. So there's that. 😂
👍
i love it when the choices are cursed, flurry, and world splitter
and i'm not good enough at the game to do consistent dstrikes
The first few times, I was a little on my own arguing for Persuasion. 
oh well i just mean that if my boons are already going to be duo/legendary then choosing which god they come from makes sense, but if I boost rare/epic then rerolling the boon itself makes sense. [just how I like to play even if it doesn't make statistical sense]
Nah you want better rarity hermes
get the boons you want at better rarity
And you can’t just get more hermes
ahhh fr i see that one skinny guy youtuber who i think is the most popular hades youtuber / best player or something doing dstrk dstrk special over n over w the sword bc apparently u get the most damage that way. i tried it and was like.... how
Understanding how the god pool works and how boons are rolled will improve your decision making by a lot when running Persuasion
Which will only make it stronger
haelian prob
and yeah, standard combo is special -> 2x dstrikes
yes him lol
i can do it pretty well, but every now and then a random standing atk is slapped out, which isn't bad but if i'm forced into world splitter for my 2nd hammer then it's bad lmao
i like thrusting tho 😭 it's so satisfying
Optimal sword play is a ton of practice to get down
haelian was probably the top player for most of early access, but he's not that tryhard anymore in the game.
doesn't get affected by cruel thrust tho, so get scammed

iirc he beat 55 heat recently lol
technically lol
I’m the top player in this year of our lord 3074
56
oh damn really
Idk
Incorrect.
i remember watching the 55
As usual.
Lies and slander
he might've done another so who knows lol
exactly haha
Just remember being sad that his pb is ahead of mine
Yeah but it does get affected by dedge so

oh yeah haelian got 56 heat
Yea
Based
ginger father
Don't worry, he felt the same way when I beat his early access WR. 
Atleast at that time he probably had the motivation to fight back for it
I’d need so much practice just to get one more heat in
And more importantly
Motivation 
the motivation is to beat a youtuber
make a yt channel with the same name and exceed them in views and subs
The motivation is just a cooler victory screen
get 3 legendaries
Nyaanyaa Mewmew — 07/19/2020 6:27 PM
haelian & horheristo so, tell me, since I can't relate.
How does it feel to be second and third place? 👸🏽
haelian — 07/19/2020 6:28 PM
I have a constant sense of failure about me so it is normal feeling.
okay but what if charged flight beo
Nice segue to the messages I just quoted. 
Do it and if I’m impressed I’ll do it too 
Atleast 50
i did not know that you could get legendary boons from gods you didnt choose at the trial challenge things
The 56 pact I was practicing for was Rama
How could MiKE be honestly impressed by a Charged Flight win at 50 Heat when I did a Charged Flight win at 52 Heat years ago? 
It's 2023 now, gotta go higher than that.
Times have changed.
53 heat cflight beo :(
Yeah, but is it impressive?
see my issue here is that the option for 50 is either em4, ap2 dc1, or ap2 cp2 and those all sound horrible
Well
Just do RI if you're doing Charged Flight.
Have you heard of routine inspection
And AP.
"doable"
All you need is Heartbreak Flourish lol.
And some way to make up for the lost 200% base damage. 
so this would have to be ri2 huh
Everyone but the high heat players went quiet. 
oops
Do shackle cflight beo at 40
Probably better then icy flare
i only have time for 1 rn but maybe i'll do more tries later lol
am i allowed to play normal beo until i get cflight
sure ig
cool because common special lol
You’re gonna bleed a lot of time in lategame anyway 
Keep 4 minutes for the heroes fight
Modded into charged flight
i literally god natural arty and pos
and got flood flare
this is so cursed
where is my cflight hammer 
died to alecto lol
i blame no cflight
oh wait haelian didn't beat 56 heat he only posted it because of 2 legendaries lmao
get scammed
Unaruably
That's all you need to know about why it went wrong lol
i like him 👉👈

woah a duo boon for just 150 coins from chiron
this is the best deal
and i got lucifer with zeus attack
Just had a run with Flying Cutter with a level 5 epic flourish, 2 chaos flourish upgrades (one epic), and the epic flourish speed from Hermes. I just flew around the rooms going sheaw sheaw sheaw.
Isn't that largely pointless because you're always applying jolted unless you're playing a very long hit and run
does after party work on lc4
I don't think so
No
switch says I've played exactly 420 hours of Hades. (and I still haven't got Unseen One, granted I completed everything else first and haven't been farming darkness properly)
Where do The Unseen Ones play?
What’s a good Lucifer build
Extreme measures 4
A bear
Same as other rails basically
Slaps zeus on atk, high % special and tidal dash for dmg/help on detonating the bombs
How often do you normally use Lucifer special
Look for static discharge, triple bomb is its best hammer
nvm it was fine
Whenever possible
Is guan yu good
Yes
Lvl 1 gy with ri4, lc4 and hl5
easy
it is better than fresh file because of the range lol
even if hammers were allowed for normal ff, guan yu is just safer lol
Dear Hades I just had my easiest escape ever getting carried by aphrodite with her charm/weak stuff and flurry shot
I've never been at the end with 1200 before exiting. I just never felt the need to buy anything
i mean yours can block his rockets so i'd think that's fair
shield can block everything until dad decides to walk through it and smack you
No
Lame
Wait aren’t you in the dead cells discord
luci beam I find is pretty unreliable to detonate hellfire because it’ll just auto aim to whatever enemy is close by
Lucifer doom where every laser tick adds onto it using the doom stack boom
I personally dont use auto aim but its still not reliable
Because enemies just go in front of the beam
Maybe im just bad
But anyway a good way to make them go boom i found is using dash core boons
Divine dash is goated
whats a good amount of heat for someone who just completed their first run?
1
you might want to finish all the weapons with no heat first to get the other bounties
dashing into it or having chain lightning hit it
it's a good part of the reason why lightning strike is the best atks on luci
😭 ok
im really bad with the bow and fists.....
all the more reason to get better at them no? 
true
tbh just stick with the weapon you like and get good at it for a while for now
you'll progress farther and learning enemy patterns and movement helps you get better at the other weapons too
i used to have like no rail or spear experience and i avoided them for a long time because i was bad at them
i still avoid spear because i'm bad at it tho
relatively bad
Are there mod or way to see highest heat cleared with each aspect
For your own runs? You can check the admin chamber
if you mean like a leaderboard there’s a pinned spreadsheet in #h1-high-heat-strategies
I realise you said aspect, not just weapon, you can try asking in the hades modding discord (pinned in #self-promotion )
Thats why you grab lightning strike and tidal dash
Yo Rocket Bomb + Cluster Bomb is insane.
Clockets is insane👍
Clockets do be hilarious
Had a level 5 epic chill rocket with both epic chaos and hermes flourish boons as well.
Just repeatedly slapping Hades for 2k dmg with the special button.
how does athena's DDwork with SD?
If you lose your sd in a room before picking up the dd, you get a dd for the rest of the run
if i still have the sd?
If you still have the sd while you picktheboon you only get the extra benefits (+healing or more invul time)
So if you are gonna fetanathena boon and have either open, try to lose the sd on purpose
can i get the dd boon on my first encounter with her?
i hear the term tier2 boon, idk what that means
Tier 2 means you have to have one of her other boons
First
So you can’t get it on first encounter with her
Yep this was what I was looking for - thanks!
is there a guide to know which god is best for a weapon
Aplenty
Check pinned messages in builds and combat channel
High heat too, for advanced
i couldnt find the list for which god is best on what weapon in any of the pins
It's not pinned but if you go to #h1-builds-and-combat rn it's right there
ohh
little question, in the english language of the game, does "dash" mean the moove you do when you... literally dash xD or does is mean the attack you can you with the combo dash + attack?
thx

should i take twin shot or point blank shot, i have hera bow
i'd just take triple for prophecy lol
all are pretty good tbh
the idea is to get close and launch casts as fast as possible, and twin/point blank both boost the up close damage
i thought triple shot was bad because of the spread pattern
but triple is still good if you get right in their face
i see
Triple and Twin are much better than Point-Blank.
weird question but if you beat asterius in the elysium midboss fight, can he ever die from residual damage even after yielding? only asking because demeter decay and some other stuff seemed like it came pretty close during a recent run. and it would be funny if he exploded or something while stomping out
he can die in the miniboss fight lol
He just has his normal death animation.
he'll still appear in the boss fight at the end of ely tho
so it can happen, that's funny
ok triple shot is a lot better than i thought, its really good
Some people prefer Twin Shot, some prefer Triple Shot. But they're both great.
Quíntuple shot
Damn positive outlook is better than I thought

man taking the eternal rose, nectar and the yarn for aprohdite just give me these boons
ig life affirmation isnt that bad
:C Touch of Styx why so rare
i just need this for the prophecy
well yeah but you can't get it unless you're using stubborn defiance
oh i didn;t know that
yeah touch of styx boosts SD, if you're using death defiance instead of touch of styx you get the one for 200 to regain it, they're exclusive with each other
Had the most broken build by far
can't just say that and not elaborate lol
Pretty much every charm boom that wasn’t legendary on Lucifer special, lighting shot and storm lightning with splitting bolt attack, rush delivery+ hyper sprint epic
The biggest shame of the run is having smoldering air and not getting a call in the end
the only charm sources are aid and lego
I wanted Poseidon
not damage but it's good utility
i suck with the bow i have gotten to hades and gotten him to like less than 50% hp at phase 2, 4 times but i cant beat him
Then he gave me 4 sunken treasures
pos dont have good damage either
It’s the call I have the most fun with
rip what bow
hera
And it doesn’t really lose anything from becoming limited to one bar
if ur getting into bow use zag
you lose dps because you yourself aren't attacking
hera is fine tbh
more complicateed
not really, just hit the shot
you have to manage stones and stuff
it gets more complicated if you aren't using crush shot
could honestly just shoot them all into an enemy and take your time
Rama best bow aspect
what
using special only isn't really learning rama lmao it's just budget delta chamber rail lmao
literally just use hestia then
triple shot is fair enough tho
if you're just gonna end up charging a long time for a 125 damage shot without free 60%
I like thunder better than strike
i mean it still chunks enough without it tbh
actually is it only 125
i thought it was more
it's literally free 60% extra damage
This run is going well.
Oh you can't post images here lol.
Room one I got Hazard bomb, and I found chaos twice before getting half way through Asphodel getting a flourish boon each time. Also have a level 4 epic flourish already.
radioactive

go into another server, post image, right click, copy image url, post
i have a server specifically for this
but you can use any server
i felt revenge playing with lucifer killing dusa heads? or whatever they called
oh Snakestone their name
wait
is that hestia with dio atk?
Yeah, I'm still trying to forge my bond with Dio so I took his keepsake on the first floor.
You don't have to build around the initial attack with Hestia, have had plenty of successful Hestia runs with Dio/Zeus.
Good thunder rail boons?
I cant think of any boons that boost electric bolts
Besides storm lightning
it would be exceedingly hard to do high heat with dio/dzeus attack on hestia
clockets isn't reliable
This wasn't high heat lol
(to get)
You can see it right there
well yeah
I'm going one heat at a time.
but generally you don't want to be doing on-hit effects with hestia
With whatever weapon has darkness buff generally.
dio call is great though
cause the thing is you'd just have a better time with eris with that build
other than hazard
I haven't leveled Eris, I don't really like the idea of having to keep applying my special. If there was a button you could bind that was "cast special on self" then I'd be willing to give it a try.
i mean
you're specialing every like 1.5 seconds anyways
you just have to walk into it
Static discharge 100%
Then storm lightning purely for splitting bolt tbh
What do I need for Fully Loaded
exit wounds, pressure points and support fire, you need at least 2 of those
you can check requirements in codex
if you have the upgrade from contractor
If I’m going all out on cast I probably want exit and support right
Actually does exit work with Stygian soul
Shady and Antos.
Shady is from Sisyphus. Antos is from Master Achilles and Patroclus.
alright ty
Yes. Makes it regenerate a lot faster.
If it's common, you won't notice the effect as much.
Lol yeah if you have that many, you won't notice Auto Reload.
Can't cast fast enough to run out really.
I just need a Hermes cast boom
And the Prometheus stone
And I’ll be unstoppable
Also bone hourglass is kinda good
It's very good, yeah.
The 300 obols worth of damage boosters in my back pocket
Did a lot of work for me in my last run on 53 Heat.
The final boss did not stand a chance against what o think was like 15 cast lodges
Chaos hard carry
Gotta say this game feels different to other rougelikes I’ve played (one other)
Just wanna ask what’s your most taken Boon? I’m curious
Mine is greatest reflex
Hyper sprint
Side hustle
btw is there a place where i could for advice on builds?
i cant post images there:/
Flood flare 
What a surprise
Lmfao
Yea we don’t do that here
On my modded file I think out of the 500 runs, 450 of them are prob beo
Although it’s been since 32 heat wr that I grinded anything seriously
Just some heat and hypermodded after that
Beo 50 cflight
Yea but that’s not a grind
I’m just a real gamer what can I say
Fr tho I wanted to try 53 cflight but couldnt today so maybe saturday or something idk
Lmao fair enough
how do you get the Thorn of Thanatos achievment
Is Beowulf really good
Or something
Yes
Any reason?
So isn't hades related to zeus?
It has charged shot, one of the strongest hammers in the game. It also uses flares which are bugged with Mirage shot so if you have it you’ll do an extra 100% instead of 30%. And it’s also like the safest weapon in the game.
Gonna be honest I never used Beowulf because I leveled it up thinking the cast explosion would be larger and deal more damage
And it did not do that
Pretty sure it’s when you get at least 15 more kills than Thanatos during one of his encounters
What’s charged shot again
that's the other one
but there is another one with his keepsake
So the gist is it’s broken with mirage shot because it deals full damage with the 2nd shot
A hammer that changes your bullrush into a shot with 80 base damage
30% or something
At max level, a loaded dragon rush with cshot will do 160 base damage
And it works with cast loading?
Yes
Then it’d be clearing 30 encounters without taking damage while having Than’s keepsake equipped
Yes
damn
is that hard
You could probably cheese it somehow
Hestia is good for no hits
Also Beowulf is just a top tier weapon due to the damage output regardless, it’s still amazing at very high heat when you’re not actively looking for Mirage, you just opt for Passion Flare instead
ill try that
And also ignores the hammer
Wait does Beowulf change certain casts
Yes
Which ones
All of them
Instead of Dem’s meme beam, you get something else
My god I thought chilling flare was just a normal boon
Or whatever it’s called
So every cast just turns into an explosion
What about Ares?
His normal one fires blade rifts
It’s a bit bigger and lasts less time and it’s incompatible with hunting blades
And it’s probably the worst Beowulf cast
Isn’t hunting blades like really really broken
Atleast icy flare hits enemies
Ok I gotta try out Beowulf sometime then
Slicing also hits
It’s pretty good in the right build
Does charge shot get affected by the level up effects of Beowulf
who do you guys think has the best aid
Yes
Zeus Dio Athena Hades
@woeful trout
yeah
who is dio
I like the ones that make you invincible
athena
Zeus’ has the highest ceiling but needs a couple things, really good regardless yea
I wouldn't take it for damage lol
How do I check codex mid run
it's really good with the lightning dash
I mean it does have good damage and whatnot but I don't use it for damage so it's not my priority lol
Also don’t use it in the alecto fight
How good is hades aid
Did you not see that clip
No
what's the relation between hades and persophene by the way
arent they like niece and uncle though
yeah, but their familial relation
Wife and husband.
Turning off god pride and getting 6 common boons
Turning on gods pride and getting 6 common boons
im glad they didnt focus on that aspect too much
Cant find it
Damn
What happens tho
Wait no its on yt
hello, i was wondering how do i unlock the last aspect of the twin fists?
bull of minos
ok ty
Snurst on a noncastpect
Also what’s snurst
just try to fight him before the final mini boss fight in elysium
Snow burst
and you will eventually get special message
Does boosting attack with Beowulf increase flare damage
HAHAHA
How’s that relevant to rare crop
has anyone here completed max level heat
That's so cursed
baj?
As soon as I saw you kill alecto with the call I knew the momentum would've been funky
Didn't think that'd happen tho
Zeus shield
Could that be said the same with lernie
Launch yourself into the magma in the corner of the screen
Yea it happens in lernie too you gotta spam dash so you don’t yeet yourself in lava
Hi!
