it is objective to say that zeus is the best aspect for heats above 60
No it isn't
HESTIA 💪
It's true to say it is the most relied on for high heat
are you trying to imply that people are sleeping on gilga for high heat
Look I saw people take a brand new game and completely misunderstand its meta. Now I am even more distrustful of the meta.
Cause those players were struggling way more with the game with their "meta" than I was with the bad characters.
My theory was they just didnt understand scaling in a roguelike
But that's besides the point. The real issue with meta is, it's more like the easiest way to get the best results.
Nothing objective about that.
It's just a route
are you being intentionally obtuse
hades is a rather studied game
Usually from community learning
Yeah same with other games. That doesnt mean much still.
but there are also objective things
It's still literally a game.
objective things include that gilga is a bad aspect
Like I think you're missing the point
Interesting how you cant prove any of this.
Totally objective though.
Meeting an arbitrary goal in a game is totally objective.
yeah this is pretty intentionally obtuse
That isnt what objectivity is.
you know precisely what i mean and you're misinterpreting that
No you just dont know what objectivity is. You're applying it to what is convenient or what fits how you play.
Instead of realizing it's literally a game lmao
Like lots of stuff is well studied.
yeah i’m not doing this
Lots of stuff is also incredibly wrong and based on bias.
Like do I need to go through the history of scientific development.
They all thought they were objective.
And now you're saying this video game that is like 5 years old, somehow people found objectivity in it unlike in any other game where it is clearly impossible.
Like I have 2200 hours in a game and that includes modding it, so I know how the game works from the ground up. Some comparisons can be objective in some contexts
If I said there were some objective right way to play I would be lying.
In fact people recently proved there are alternate ways to play completely opposite to how my community usually played. Our meta. The Korean community had their own distinct meta.
I really want you to try to prove there is some objectivity here instead of just group thinking about how a game should be played.
Because I've seen this lots in the past and trust me, the meta you worship is probably just 1 meta of many.
Now you have to deal with the real implications of deciding which community who plays this game is "right".
Or you can just simply not be a nerd and pretend video games can be objective.
Like let people have fun and just explain how things work.
No high heat player has even mained gilga for pushing 50+
Missing the entire point. Good job.
I made 1 comment
One that had already been answered and is irrelevant now
aspects such as beowulf and hestia generally outperform aspects like talos and arthur
would it be wrong to say beo is objectively stronger than arthur?
Yes because it's a game
That's my entire point.
Like explaining it as "there can be multiple metas" is just one way I'm trying to debunk meta.
This game is just as old if not older than Hades
And there is an entire meta just alien to NA/European players.
Like literally opposite to how those players play.

Lyrics:
Fates
Weave their threads
Our lives are sewn
Born
To a life
All but our own
We feel i...
The paws are fun
yes
i find them yucky
If someone wants to play gilga just let them play gilga 
The average player isn't gonna go past 32 and everything works for 32
And the average player isn't gonna care much about speed either
Just give them a build or whatever and guide them
If they just want a certain number like sub10 or 32 heat and they're struggling on gilga you can suggest something else but if they want to do it on gilga that's fine
(have fun grinding for ME tho lmao)

is this "gilga" everyone is talking about the hidden malphon aspect
Yea
true
Or guan-yu aspect of achilles
btw this is not my screenshot
it was posted
22 minutes ago in speedcord
Plus none of the hidden aspects are based in greek myth
yeah
yeah I just noticed that
there's lucifer, arthur, guan yu, gilgamesh, rama, beowulf
is rama the coronacht aspect
Guan-yu = chinese
Arthur = roman
Beowuld= some european
Gilga = idk
Rama = indian iirc?
Luci = christianity
i’m
isn't arthur english
like
king arthur
no
the guy who pulled the sword from the stone
yes
It’s from england I think but it’s really far back
so what does rama do
Special is a 3 burst that ricochets and inflicts shared suffering so your attack deals extra damage to all inflicted
Attack is slower heavier and wider
um
what is the 3rd statue
The 32 heat one
chinese
British
old English
mesopotamia
india
christian
it is just another skelly statue right
no it's actually Zagreus this time
Thnx
Do you want the spoiler
every copy of hades is personalized
Oh true
The supergiant from supergiantgames actually comes to your house and modifies the game himself
Sorry I’m impulsive at times
This is why I avoid #h1-for-new-players
Wasn't Beowulf Scandinavian?
This one
Beowulf is both effectively tbh
Both cultures had connections to the other, especially in story telling, which lead to the development of the modern English language (well, Old and Middle English).
Tolkien has an interesting but of course very old academic translation.
Gilgamesh is a very interesting story if you really study it. Did a pretty good paper on it in my 1st year and would have had the chance to see a tablet piece, but the museum in Berlin didnt have it on display when I was there.
The Hidden aspects are all myths that are sort of scattered in time and space. Future or past or distant forms that weapon has taken.
Instead of literally more familiar forms, wielded by your family and other more distant relatives.
They're neat and challenge the weapon's meta for the most part. I like that. I get that isnt for everyone though.
Lucifer doesnt but is still quite fun and different
Yeah. People struggle with Rama the most, which I imagine is having to learn it, and maybe some unoptimal bow play.
Standing strikes, improper use/measurement of distance, the fact it requires setup and payoff in certain timeframe
It can punish hard. If you mess up and dont get a good enough shot out before Shared Suffering expires, you lose so much dps.
i mean the build sure is just eris but the playstyle is significantly different
Yeah
more different id argue than most other hidden aspects
arthur is just sword but worse
Fair yeah
guan yu is like if exploding launcher was good
rama is still dash striking but you press q now
beo is beo whatever
and gilga is fists but if they sucked even harder
longer dash delay = less often
shorter dashes + longer dash delay = get hit more
hold down button = funny
couldn't be me
imagine just getting some Athena boons and skelly tooth and just mashing everything to win
couldn't be me
ever.
Imagine using skelly tooth ever
true
couldn't be me for half my runs
was me when I was getting it to 3 star, haven’t touched it since
and high heat asph
Same (because of acorn)
but i need to take athena into ely for the heroic replacement dash
does toothe get buffed by ToS
holy crap
Me omw to post a vaguely related victory screenlike usual
town of salem
touch of styx funnip
i do love touch of styx
Hermes the goat with that one
once you go Hermes you can't go back
everything feels slow
carpal tunnel
i play geometry dash
common jazz w
everyone did that
have u beat
Touch of styx my beloved
hardest parts are the click at 26, the blue orb at 70 ish in the ball, and the 3 timings at 82-83, cruel
i dont think so
necropolix
stereo madness
i beat that one
congratulations on your achievement Menaxelum#6550
thank you
i dont think i can beat that one
No it’s stockholm syndrome
it only took me like 15 thousand attemtps
I don't think i have 15 thousand of anything
i have 15 thousand cents

Whats the cue that hades is about to use death beam cannon?
he stands still and his spear starts spinning around him
iirc
also he yells "fire" i think
lol that's fine
any weapon is fine tbh
as long as you learn it enough
bow is pretty good tho
also i recommend sticking to #h1-for-new-players
just make sure to spoiler the boss hades in that channel
i guess for the boss fight you can ask here so you dont have to spoiler anything tho, but anything else i recommend staying there
Cheers
I am mostly struggling with hades himself and the shield creeps in third atage
Stage*
do you have aspects unlocked yet?
eh that's fine
I got chiron dor bow
what did you level up
And i think spear or shield
which shield and spear
Honestly dont remember im at work
ah that's fine
could just stick to bow, shield is also good
for spear, if you got achilles then you could use that too
lmao happens to the best of us
Fists are actually pretty strong i found out
they're alright
bigp moment
lmao i love bigp
he wasn’t lying when he said it happens to the best of us
Triangle attack the one where you pull and upper cut is too good for skulls and as a main attack pattern
Haha
talos kinda funky
For shield creeps focus a hammer that says Piercing really
What does bigp stand for tho if its okay to ask
Piercing ignores shields
player lol
one of the better speedrunners in the community lol
top speedrunner
yeah
Aha
he didn't play the game btw
who also i think hasn’t seen the end credits or something
he just got a maxed save file and started speedrunning
lmfao
so he straight up did not know a lot of basic stuff lmfao
The weirdest people to me
should play fftc
there was one really bad one but i dont remember exactly what it was
i also find it really weird but it's honestly extremely funny
Honestly this is the one game i am enjoying the lore and conversations
I am so invested in the bard and his waifu
Yeah its funny
Just a very specific way to play video games
Like you are just a speedrunner
Kinda sad i cant waifu her, but getting them to reconcile is a close second choice
It is sooo hard to bring myself to leave her room

nice message link
yeah lmfao
goat thought process
I legitimately just think the process of thinking about the game exclusively like that leads to just not thinking about mechanics
his first message in speedcord was 5 months before this
so like
plenty of time
Of course that falls off when you need to know how the mechanic works
bigp is also better than all of us here by a long shot
Yeah thats why it's funny to me
Literally just not considering Hades as anything but a fancy hurdle
(The boss)
Like you can kinda ignore stuff and kinda need to when you're going fast
he was shooting for a sub8 at that time and he didn't know how dad phases work this is amazing
To reconcile the bard i have to finish the boulder guys quest first?
Yeah sounds like a tendency to just phase smash Hades
those shouldn't be related
Yeah I dont think they are
now he's one of the few with a sub5 lmao
You must bring back Orpheus to the house, then I believe do some make-up work between them, then allow Orpheus to leave the house, then more make-up
Basically between any quest you'll have some dialogue to follow
Exacts can be hard to determine because there are so many event triggers.
Aha i was checking the wiki
It said the pre requisite to making them reconcile was to have the boulder guys quest completed
I got both nyx bard and his waifu to 5 hearts
And talking to them at every chance
But rng is making it difficult to see the waifu
Not sure how to get orpheus to sing tho
Just convos or need to get him more drinks?
I have some of my quests stalled out right now too
Been basically handing out drinks at random since
Also played with the final sword aspect for the first time, hits like a truck
Why does no one talk bout curse of drowning the duo is so underrated
because it's more of a meme
But its so good ngl
It's not lmao
It's got a niche on Achilles and a secondary duo on fists after ME
But that's about it
It isn’t
it is not underrated
i think zyru said it's the second best cast for achilles and it's underrated lmao
but like in general it's pretty eh
ok but like
you need doom somewhere too
for it
and
if you got ares
just like take slicing shot???
🤨
might not be offered lmao so you just slap it onto the special
I require the context
you're not guaranteed slicing shot
trying to find it but i do remember him saying it's good
you're guaranteed after 3 rolls 🤤
on achilles
Then just build ME 
Ez exchangep
It is very good, it’s probably second best or maybe even best cast for Achilles imo
Hunting blades is probably better for rooms
-zyru
i dont want to screenshot, post somewhere else, and grab image link
so you're just getting it that way lmao
is this in speedcord
yes
Also
also lol sea storm
No other aspect wants it as a cast
yeah that's why i said it's got a niche for achilles lmao
achilles crush shot 🤤
zyru also got cod on pos sword
but it also had ME lmao
but hey basically free braid
lmfao
but yeah, it's got an achilles niche but idk how easy that is to actually use in practice
bosses are a lot easier, room clearing kinda funky
on paper anyways
gaming
everyone progresses at different rates so don't feel bad if you take longer lol
also i'm pretty sure the former wr holder took like 50
50 yeah
some take more
crazy that it's actually former now
drk so based
feels wrong that croven doesnt have either wr tbh
speaking of speed, speedrunning 40 heat kinda difficult
that's too boring
skill issue
bruh lmao
i was expecting they get more dmg or something
do you wanna grab me a nitro while you're at it
oh that's one of the better ones to take first lol
i mean i prefaced htis with 3 days of like meeting these people
for 1 heat it's honestly not that bad

yeah that was my reasoning too
wanna grab me one anyways
but just so i understand, i can stay at one heat and repeat it with the same weapon and i still get rewards?
or do i need to increase the heat as i go?
you need to increase
increase heat as you clear said heat
could i beat 20 heat 20 times for 20 rewards though?
yes
if you're also a suicidal trans person i can shoot u an invite but you also gotta be terminally online to a degree
you could either do 20 runs starting at 1 and ending at 20 or just do 20 at 20 the result will be same
👉👈
For the conditions prophecy
do you need to have them all active at the same time or can you split them into a few runs
Every time you unlock a certain heat's reward you get darkness instead next time
So yes you need to increase heat again to get new rewards
you can split
I'm replying to someone else
oh ok
thank you
Just use them once
yeah
For a successful run I think
yeah it’s escaping with them
and
I just got the lyre
can you sit there until you've tried it like 200 times and eventually get good
But you need to complete a heat's rewards to get the next tier iirc
or does it have a limit each escape attempt
ok
Do styx encounters not count towards the pierced butterfly
just the final room does, of there is one?
only final
damn
same with plume
what about blossom
it works
oh nice

what do you mean by that
mom pom bad
Working != working well
question about the lambent plume do i keep the dodge and move speed bonus from it if i switch the item out?
nope
ah sadge
so gotta keep it to maintain its dodge buff, hmm seems like it could be strong
but also limits your building path if you want to hunt for specific god powers :"C
booo
That's why it's bad lol
That’s what makes it bad
In reference to all the stacking keepsakes:
“because taking it early (tartarus or asphodel) is opportunity cost and taking it later (elysium or styx), you don’t get enough stacks to make it worth it”
I mean if you’re routing your runs why not take plume or butterfly
i got 7.9 bonus on it
in 14 chambers
though it wasnt full upgraded on start
lets see if it helps or not ;-;
i actually thought opheus was a girl for a long time
It'll make routing much harder than it already is lmao

I used to do Plume gilga runs a lot
Besides that I've put it on to aim for Hermes's legendaries.
Plume has a niche or two but it's not a great pick most of the time
Yeah I'd mostly use plume if you just know what you're doing or arent building.
What was the very first early access like? What content existed?
Used to end on the hydra?
Tbh you can scroll at the way back to the very begining in patch notes
The patch notes do go all the way back to early access
That’s what I did but it only lists changes
Yeah but based on what got added
You can kinda trace back what was already in the game
Yeah, but that’s a lot of work lol
hitting "give up" makes it as if the run never happened
it's not an insta-death button, it's a reset button
You die
if you feel like the run is gonna suck you can hit give up
mainly if your first boon/hammer is good
could also hit give up to keep your win streak

Probably idk
hasn't been
there's been no content updates
You can’t combine it with exploding launcher, or aspects of achilles or guan yu - if you take those try running something else
Zag spear basically
and how to do the lyre learning minor prophecy
Play it a lot
and the poseidon catch one
i am so sure that i catched enough
and I am just curious but does the timing of fishing matter?
or is it purely random
You can also catch a fish in a previous run and not turn it in, then talk to him
Caught*
Yeah, rarity is tied to catch time
so the faster the better? or the other way
yes sir im sorry
Faster means rarer
Just for the one prophecy, yeah, after you can sell
ok
thanks for the info
couldn't have known that you can't sell the fish
the fishes
Main tip is it can only false bob 3 times, so the 4th will be a catch for sure, but otherwise just learning the patterns and improving your reaction time maybe
For the lyre one you just need to do it a LOT
so just play it
Like it will take longer than a run
You can also do it by catching a fish in the run and then using poseidon keepsake for the next biome, but then he might talk about something else
If you have turbo that works
210 to be exact, and you have to talk to orpheus once somewhere in the middle or something
Yeah
well you have to play his instrument
Yeah
Okay thanks for the infp
You get better at it
the easiest way is to just like, play it 2 or 3 times before you do a run
"easiest" meaning like
Yeah so it’s better to do it over multiple runs imo and not stress about it
less brain dead lmao
the other option is sit there for a while and spam it
I have three left
Chain skewer (all varatha hammers)
Fish
Lyre
So im gonna do it lol
Thanks, its been a pain in the a for a while
I did it like 5 times between each run and it went by quickly enough
Np
And why does approved process exist 😭
i used to do 1 each run before realizing i had to do it 210 times lmao
to make life bad
That's like a week even if you go slow
And I can't get in bed with dusa even after doing everything, giving ambrosia and all that
i've been speedrunning 40 heat a lot recently and oh boy the amount of times i had mirage shot crossed out
She is platonic love
The bond bar is full, and there are 3 hearts after the love arrow
She has a friend crush on Zag
So no bed?
no
No cutscene or anything
she's just a friend lmao
Bruh sad
Yup
oh yeah there is a cutscene
Wasting all of my ambrosia
It just doesnt end up in sex scenes being a random mid-run event
Okay thanks, gave me motivation
Those mostly happen with Meg though Thanatos is busy.
Yeah ik I've seen the meg scene
||you can do both at once too||
Yeah definitely a spoiler
hey what's up?
1% base chance moment

Its actually 1%???
I got lambent plume with + rarity from well and quick reload and the +10% from the mirror
How
Base is 1% yea
Plume does not affect rarity, it only makes you eligible to have it offered
Go on pls
If you have plume equipped you can see he legendary from the first hermes boon basically
Most of the time you'll get offered 2 throughout the run. The maximum is 3 but you'll have to buy the third in Styx.
there is, https://hades.fandom.com/wiki/Hades_Wiki
There is technically no cap on how many Chaos you can get in a run but after each gate there is a cooldown before another gate can spawn naturally. It varies depending on your current biome. 10 chambers for Tart, 8 for Aspho and Ely.
but a lot of players in this server are very knowledgeable about the game from playing a lot of it 
Yea I have atleast 3 hours of playtime
omg me too 
30 hours you meant
If you want the real answer it's actually closer to 900
A lot of playing lol
Why
Would you choose to suffer
Fr
Wtf level 40 divine dash
It’s fake dw

Yeah 900 hours very nice
I spent like 2000 hours on smash so i probably can't judge lnao
Lmao
Do you play any other rogue lites?
im at only 202
im at 250
im over 900
approaching 1000
i wonder how long before i get bored
maybe when hades 2 arrives
Last time i check I had like 700+ hrs
But probably closer to 500 due to the switch sleep function
im at 692
nice
Neither
How to see it?
See what
Hours played depends on your system
Go to your profile
It also may display it in the save file menu in game
Longer than i expected
For time on that save
But I don’t remembee
Okay thanks
for a prophecy, I need to reunite Eurydice and orpheus
I guessed that I need to bring Orpheus's keepsake to Eurydice?
is that right
uh
hold on
As you deepen your relationship with both Orpheus and Eurydice, Zagreus will ask Eurydice for a copy of her song, Good Riddance, which he will share with Orpheus. After receiving the song, Orpheus will begin singing it in the House. After several more conversations with both, Eurydice will begin a meeting with:
What happens now, hon...? What I mean is... now you got me thinking about Orpheus again, so... what am I supposed to do with that?
To progress further you will need to have:
Both Orpheus and Eurydice at a minimum of 5 hearts.
Access to the Administrative Chamber.(purchased through the House Contractor)
A conversation with Nyx (who must be at 5 hearts) about the Admin Chamber (which can also be triggered by starting Sisyphus's liberation quest).
A conversation with Hades about Orpheus' contract (which requires Orpheus to have started singing again).
A followup conversation with Nyx about Orpheus's sentence, in which she tells you the location of his file in the Admin Chamber.
After finding the document in the Admin Chamber, speak to the House Contractor to purchase the Singer's Gamble for 3 Diamond.
The next conversation you have with Orpheus will earn his favor and complete the Musician and Muse prophecy in the Fated List of Minor Prophecies.
Ok I recently got the "what happens now hon" line
I know
gotta get them both to 5 hearts
hold on what's nyx's favor
just like talk to her and give her nectar and stuff itll pop up eventually
ok
I looked it up too
thank you
I have actually heard multiple lines about reconnecting with chaos

If you're still interested, here's an ancient speedrun of mine from the 2nd patch of the game during early access. TLDW: no fists, no weapon aspects, no demeter, no hermes, Lernie is final boss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ_9WzpyzBs
Old patch, visit channel for more updated runs.
sorry no sound. v0.13019.
Also and most glaringly, the dash looks and feels very wonky.
this is so disorienting lmfao
Ya it was really weird LOL some runners from way back when hated when they changed the dash to its current form and said they were gonna quit.
Change scary
That was just the name of the patch since it introduced Chaos, I didn't understand naming conventions back then lol
The next patch is when stuff got cool kinda and I got some cools runs using, of all things, spear special spam because the damage was legit
no fists 🤤
imagine allweps without fists
i forgot that lernie arena normally looks like that
was 3 dashes from mirror and then nerfed to 2?
also how can you collect heat skulls
that was the old heat thing
look through the history of the heat page on the wiki it was funny
distant memory best keepsake
Any super super fun cast build?
Differences between flare and shot?
and so it isn’t beo exclusive
I swore I commented a question
well for 99% of purposes
flare is beo exclusive
we dont need to pick hairs about this
Wtf my discord having troubles loading messages
like
Yeah
Like immediately release and prok in an area around the end of your dragon rush
the difference is that beowulf gets flares instead of shots
unless ur doing it for speedrun and it’s a flavorful addition
flood shot as a starting boon is bad
They act differently
beowulf is good with flood flare because they come out very fast
Ah yeah thats my question
beowulf specifically has a different set of cast boons because the way it casts is different
Instead of having shots it has flares
Okok
you can watch my super duper awesome amazing vod to see flood flare in action
Ok thank you
Flood flare on beo damage wise is fine until like elysium-ish but even then it's not bad
They have floodshot
Which
yeah flood shot is slow af to shoot out
Yeah that's beo
Yeah but i currently have flood shot and not flare
yep
Lol
what
that is not possible
Do you want a picture or what
I mean a pic would be nice considering beo is only meant to have flares
or more likely they aren’t on beo
Or another classic beo bug
Pls just wait
Is shooting out floodshots?
🤨
It just comes out a lot of poseidons cast
I never choose poseidon cast so i don't know how it acts
Flood flare is significantly larger then floodshot btw
Flares explode, shots shoot out like a projectile
I have a feeling this is actually just flood flare
now
yeah

I mean functionality wise it's definitely describing a flare
maybe diff language or something
No
The only thing we're debating is the actual name of the boon
English
ok can we see pic
Yeah but do I want to give Jazz views
@upper thorn does this look like your experience of the cast
Sub10 40 heat kinda based. Very messy and whatnot but oh well.
rude
Lmao
Does imgur really take this long lmao
Yes
It being slower is sus
It says browse while its something
do u mean no charged shot
I don't remember
usually it uploads literally instantly for me
it’s about the cast itself
If u want i can post to drive
Not the charge up for the bull rush
put in victory screenshots if u need to
Might be internet issue then?
watch them have cod
Exclusively the cast happening is slower? The faster bullrush speed is thanks to charged shot
It won't be long now!
Please hang tight while your post finishes uploading, or browse while you wait. We'll notify you when it's done.
Lmao
I swear imgur
Literally on a sidequest rn before I fall asleep and your internet speed is keeping me awake in anticipation
Anyone else here feel that hades shouldnt be an overwhelmingly positive game?
Ive just finished it completely
no
this is 7/10 at best
👍 ok why do you need to say that here
This is quite literally flood flare
that is literally flood flare
Problem solved
what is slow about it
We can go home
Idk I've never seen played beo with flood
what the hell
Tf is up with your game
That shouldn’t say flood shot
can i post this in speedcord
i’m gonna
Yeah sure
Look at this lmao
Ok gotcha
I didn’t use imgur at all
I just ripped the media links straight from what you sent me
Is there anyway to make this game better?
isnt it supposed to become more fun after youve beaten it
idk man play it better
and everything is unlocked?
Yeah? It does
theres only 4 levels
Yeah sell the game and go buy minecraft or smth
Smh
