You can directly measure that without getting into weeds that make objectivity harder to measure.

stone rune
#

it is objective to say that zeus is the best aspect for heats above 60

calm zenith
#

No it isn't

royal widget
#

HESTIA 💪

calm zenith
#

It's true to say it is the most relied on for high heat

stone rune
#

are you trying to imply that people are sleeping on gilga for high heat

calm zenith
#

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.

stone rune
#

what are you talking about

#

hades is very established

calm zenith
#

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

stone rune
#

are you being intentionally obtuse

calm zenith
#

No

#

Meta isnt an actual thing. It's how some people default to playing.

stone rune
#

hades is a rather studied game

calm zenith
#

Usually from community learning

stone rune
#

people have tried most everything in it

#

there are certainly subjective things

calm zenith
#

Yeah same with other games. That doesnt mean much still.

stone rune
#

but there are also objective things

calm zenith
#

It's still literally a game.

stone rune
#

objective things include that gilga is a bad aspect

calm zenith
#

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.

stone rune
#

yeah this is pretty intentionally obtuse

calm zenith
#

That isnt what objectivity is.

stone rune
#

you know precisely what i mean and you're misinterpreting that

calm zenith
#

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.

stone rune
#

yeah i’m not doing this

calm zenith
#

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.

raw herald
#

No high heat player has even mained gilga for pushing 50+

calm zenith
#

Missing the entire point. Good job.

raw herald
#

I made 1 comment

calm zenith
#

One that had already been answered and is irrelevant now

royal widget
#

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?

calm zenith
#

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.

i find them yucky

latent moon
#

If someone wants to play gilga just let them play gilga bouldy

#

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)

normal marlin
#

is this "gilga" everyone is talking about the hidden malphon aspect

rustic vale
#

Yea

normal marlin
#

oh

#

I guess I assumed it would be called the aspect of asterius

rustic vale
#

well

#

That’d be like calling lucifer aspect of zeus

normal marlin
#

true

rustic vale
#

Or guan-yu aspect of achilles

stone rune
#

did u see

#

lol

#

from cherry

#

shoutout to discord curse

stone rune
#

it was posted

#

22 minutes ago in speedcord

rustic vale
stone rune
#

in a run which promptly turned to a 2;15 ely bouldy

#

with no impending until 2nd styx

stone rune
#

yeah

normal marlin
#

yeah I just noticed that

stone rune
#

there's lucifer, arthur, guan yu, gilgamesh, rama, beowulf

normal marlin
#

is rama the coronacht aspect

rustic vale
#

Guan-yu = chinese
Arthur = roman
Beowuld= some european
Gilga = idk
Rama = indian iirc?
Luci = christianity

stone rune
#

yeah

#

arthur is not roman

#

it's english or british or whatever

rustic vale
#

i’m

normal marlin
#

isn't arthur english

rustic vale
#

P sure it routes from roman

#

First

#

Maybe I’m crazy

normal marlin
#

like
king arthur

rustic vale
#

Yes

#

I know

stone rune
#

no

normal marlin
#

the guy who pulled the sword from the stone

rustic vale
#

yes

stone rune
#

oh maybe

#

it's kinda far back though

#

because it's originally celtic

rustic vale
#

It’s from england I think but it’s really far back

stone rune
#

which was originally italic

#

so kinda sorta roman

normal marlin
#

so what does rama do

stone rune
#

same as all except lucii

#

you hit slower

#

and attack more damage

rustic vale
#

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

normal marlin
#

I see

#

I wonder why they made that choice with aspect of lucifer

stone rune
#

well

#

luci is the most interesting

normal marlin
#

it is

#

can confirm

stone rune
#

oh

#

idk

#

they thought heavy attack was boring

#

and also hestia exists already

normal marlin
#

um
what is the 3rd statue
The 32 heat one

royal widget
normal marlin
#

it is just another skelly statue right

royal widget
stone rune
#

no it is not

#

it's something else

#

you'll see

normal marlin
#

i can't tell which of you is joking

#

that's what skelly would say

rustic vale
#

Do you want the spoiler

normal marlin
#

actually

#

no

rustic vale
#

It’s skelly again

#

because

royal widget
#

every copy of hades is personalized

rustic vale
#

Oh true

#

The supergiant from supergiantgames actually comes to your house and modifies the game himself

rustic vale
normal marlin
#

I figured

rustic vale
thin cipher
rustic vale
#

I

#

The later message is more accurate then mine anyways

#

Take it up with them

thin cipher
#

nah

#

i just did some research

#

some say nordic some say old english

calm zenith
#

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

royal widget
#

it's certainly a much more different playstylr with each

#

they can all be quite fun

calm zenith
#

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.

stone rune
calm zenith
#

Yeah

stone rune
#

more different id argue than most other hidden aspects

#

arthur is just sword but worse

calm zenith
#

Fair yeah

stone rune
#

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

dire tendon
#

gilga is dashspect

#

and i respect that

#

shorter dashes = better splash dash chains

stone rune
#

longer dash delay = less often

signal aspen
#

shorter dashes + longer dash delay = get hit more

dire tendon
#

hold down button = funny

stone rune
#

ok but imagine

#

pressing button in rapid succession

junior leaf
#

couldn't be me

toxic trellis
#

Could be me

#

In theory

junior leaf
#

imagine just getting some Athena boons and skelly tooth and just mashing everything to win

#

couldn't be me

#

ever.

rustic vale
#

Imagine using skelly tooth ever

junior leaf
#

true

junior leaf
#

couldn't be me for half my runs

rustic vale
#

was me when I was getting it to 3 star, haven’t touched it since

stone rune
#

useful at em4

#

not much else i think

#

me personally i would just not take the damage

royal widget
#

and high heat asph

rustic vale
signal aspen
#

safety tooth is good

#

ely can get poopy sometimes

stone rune
#

but i need to take athena into ely for the heroic replacement dash

junior leaf
#

my only problem with running before was the big guy himself

#

tooth helped

rustic vale
#

Acorn helps more then tooth

#

unless you’re on em4 where he can just shred the acorn

royal widget
#

does toothe get buffed by ToS

rustic vale

no

#

it doesn’t do % hp

i do love touch of styx

junior leaf
#

Hermes the goat with that one

#

once you go Hermes you can't go back

#

everything feels slow

royal widget
#

honestly SD is so fun to play with

#

maybe because it's more "buffable"

dire tendon
stone rune
#

i play geometry dash

royal widget
#

common jazz w

dire tendon

i can beat the first level of geometry dash

#

does that count as playing it

everyone did that

Whats the cue that hades is about to use death beam cannon?

latent moon
#

he stands still and his spear starts spinning around him

#

iirc

#

also he yells "fire" i think

short pawn
#

Aha ty ty

#

Is bow best to use for first win?

#

I have 44 failed runs

latent moon
#

lol that's fine

#

any weapon is fine tbh

#

as long as you learn it enough

#

bow is pretty good tho

#

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

short pawn
#

Cheers

#

I am mostly struggling with hades himself and the shield creeps in third atage

#

Stage*

latent moon
#

do you have aspects unlocked yet?

short pawn
#

I find them tougher than the shield boss

#

I do but i messed up with my picks on them

latent moon
#

eh that's fine

short pawn
#

I got chiron dor bow

latent moon
#

what did you level up

short pawn
#

And i think spear or shield

latent moon
#

which shield and spear

short pawn
#

Honestly dont remember im at work

latent moon
#

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

short pawn
#

I just figured out on run 42 or something that i can actually block with shield

latent moon
#

lmao happens to the best of us

short pawn
#

Fists are actually pretty strong i found out

latent moon
#

they're alright

stone rune
#

bigp moment

latent moon
#

lmao i love bigp

stone rune
#

he wasn’t lying when he said it happens to the best of us

short pawn
#

Triangle attack the one where you pull and upper cut is too good for skulls and as a main attack pattern

#

Haha

latent moon
#

talos kinda funky

short pawn
calm zenith
#

For shield creeps focus a hammer that says Piercing really

short pawn
#

What does bigp stand for tho if its okay to ask

calm zenith
#

Piercing ignores shields

stone rune

top speedrunner

latent moon
#

yeah

short pawn
#

Aha

latent moon
#

he didn't play the game btw

stone rune
#

who also i think hasn’t seen the end credits or something

latent moon
#

he just got a maxed save file and started speedrunning

stone rune
#

lmfao

latent moon
#

so he straight up did not know a lot of basic stuff lmfao

calm zenith
#

The weirdest people to me

stone rune
#

should play fftc

latent moon
#

there was one really bad one but i dont remember exactly what it was

latent moon
short pawn
#

Honestly this is the one game i am enjoying the lore and conversations

#

I am so invested in the bard and his waifu

calm zenith
#

Yeah its funny

#

Just a very specific way to play video games

#

Like you are just a speedrunner

short pawn
#

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

stone rune
short pawn
stone rune
#

my goat

#

what

latent moon
#

nice message link

latent moon
#

yeah lmfao

short pawn
#

Also dusa for prom queen

calm zenith
#

How do you not figure that out by playing

#

2fast

latent moon
#

i mean he did play

#

idk what his thought process was lmfao

stone rune
#

goat thought process

calm zenith
#

I legitimately just think the process of thinking about the game exclusively like that leads to just not thinking about mechanics

latent moon
#

so like

#

plenty of time

calm zenith
#

Of course that falls off when you need to know how the mechanic works

stone rune
#

bigp is also better than all of us here by a long shot

calm zenith
#

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

latent moon
#

he was shooting for a sub8 at that time and he didn't know how dad phases work this is amazing

short pawn
#

To reconcile the bard i have to finish the boulder guys quest first?

calm zenith
#

Yeah sounds like a tendency to just phase smash Hades

latent moon
calm zenith
#

Yeah I dont think they are

stone rune
#

“sub 8 is only top 100 now”

#

ye olden times

latent moon
#

now he's one of the few with a sub5 lmao

calm zenith
#

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.

short pawn
#

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?

graceful flicker
#

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

empty swallow
#

Why does no one talk bout curse of drowning the duo is so underrated

royal widget
#

because it's more of a meme

empty swallow
#

But its so good ngl

latent moon
#

It's not lmao

#

It's got a niche on Achilles and a secondary duo on fists after ME

#

But that's about it

rustic vale
#

it is not underrated

latent moon
#

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

stone rune
#

ok but like

#

you need doom somewhere too

#

for it

#

and

#

if you got ares

#

just like take slicing shot???

latent moon
rustic vale
#

I require the context

latent moon
#

you're not guaranteed slicing shot

latent moon
stone rune
#

you're guaranteed after 3 rolls 🤤

latent moon
#

on achilles

rustic vale
latent moon
#

you start tdash

#

so it's not great

rustic vale
#

Ez exchangep

latent moon
#

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

stone rune
#

is this in speedcord

latent moon
#

yes

stone rune
#

where link

#

i think it might just be achilles gud with cast

latent moon
rustic vale
#

Also

stone rune
#

also lol sea storm

rustic vale
#

No other aspect wants it as a cast

latent moon
stone rune
#

achilles crush shot 🤤

latent moon
#

zyru also got cod on pos sword

#

but it also had ME lmao

#

but hey basically free braid

stone rune
#

lmfao

latent moon
#

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

short pawn
#

First hades kill lets gooo

#

Only took 46 attempts

latent moon
#

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

stone rune
#

50 yeah

latent moon
#

some take more

stone rune
#

drk so based

latent moon
#

feels wrong that croven doesnt have either wr tbh

#

speaking of speed, speedrunning 40 heat kinda difficult

stone rune
#

so do 9 heat

#

:croven:

latent moon
#

that's too boring

stone rune
#

man i might have to cave and get nitro classic

#

i want to be able to :croven:

latent moon
#

skill issue

stone rune
#

maybe ill find someone to give me nitro

#

ill go ask cruscord

stone rune
short pawn
#

ok this one is on me

#

the first heat modifier i picked

#

was make bosses harder

latent moon
short pawn
#

i was expecting they get more dmg or something

latent moon
#

do you wanna grab me a nitro while you're at it

short pawn
#

but first boss, i am fighting all 3 sisters

#

totally did not see it coming

latent moon
#

oh that's one of the better ones to take first lol

stone rune
latent moon
#

for 1 heat it's honestly not that bad

short pawn
short pawn
latent moon
short pawn
#

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?

sour fog
#

you need to increase

latent moon
#

increase heat as you clear said heat

royal widget
#

could i beat 20 heat 20 times for 20 rewards though?

sour fog
#

yes

stone rune
sour fog
#

you could either do 20 runs starting at 1 and ending at 20 or just do 20 at 20 the result will be same

normal marlin
#

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

calm zenith
#

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

normal marlin
#

no no

#

the prophecy

#

about conditions

calm zenith
#

I'm replying to someone else

normal marlin
#

oh ok

calm zenith
#

You can have them active at different times

#

For your question

normal marlin
#

thank you

calm zenith
#

Just use them once

normal marlin
#

yeah

calm zenith
#

For a successful run I think

stone rune
#

yeah it’s escaping with them

normal marlin
#

and
I just got the lyre
can you sit there until you've tried it like 200 times and eventually get good

calm zenith
normal marlin
#

or does it have a limit each escape attempt

calm zenith
#

You can just sit there

#

Or take breaks

normal marlin
#

ok

#

Do styx encounters not count towards the pierced butterfly

#

just the final room does, of there is one?

normal marlin
#

damn

stone rune
#

same with plume

what about blossom

#

question about the lambent plume do i keep the dodge and move speed bonus from it if i switch the item out?

royal widget
#

nope

short pawn
#

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

rustic vale
#

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”

short pawn
#

i got it at the very start of my run

#

i think i might as well stick to it?

rustic vale
stone rune
#

please

#

I HATE YOU

short pawn
#

i got 7.9 bonus on it

#

in 14 chambers

#

though it wasnt full upgraded on start

Besides that I've put it on to aim for Hermes's legendaries.

latent moon
#

Plume has a niche or two but it's not a great pick most of the time

calm zenith
#

Yeah I'd mostly use plume if you just know what you're doing or arent building.

lapis harbor
#

What was the very first early access like? What content existed?

#

Used to end on the hydra?

stone rune
#

yea

#

haelian probably has somerthing up from back in ye olden times

rustic vale
#

The patch notes do go all the way back to early access

lapis harbor
#

That’s what I did but it only lists changes

rustic vale
#

You can kinda trace back what was already in the game

lapis harbor
#

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

latent moon

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

bruh i just checked the patch notes

#

march 21?

muted glen
#

Probably idk

latent moon
#

there's been no content updates

upper thorn
#

bruh

#

how do I get chain skewer

#

stuck on this for a year lmao

void vigil
#

You can’t combine it with exploding launcher, or aspects of achilles or guan yu - if you take those try running something else

muted glen
#

Zag spear basically

upper thorn
#

and how to do the lyre learning minor prophecy

void vigil
#

Play it a lot

upper thorn
#

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

void vigil
#

You can also catch a fish in a previous run and not turn it in, then talk to him

upper thorn
#

OHHHHH

#

so i can't sell it

#

bruh

muted glen
void vigil
#

Yeah, rarity is tied to catch time

upper thorn
#

so the faster the better? or the other way

upper thorn
void vigil
#

Faster means rarer

upper thorn
#

so the point is not selling it

#

ok gotcha

#

is there a tips to fishing lol

#

a tip

void vigil
#

Just for the one prophecy, yeah, after you can sell

upper thorn
#

ok

#

thanks for the info

#

couldn't have known that you can't sell the fish

#

the fishes

void vigil
#

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

calm zenith
upper thorn
#

so just play it

calm zenith
#

Like it will take longer than a run

upper thorn
#

but continously or each in a run?

#

can i put turbo lol

calm zenith
#

Either or doesnt matter

#

Yea

void vigil
#

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

calm zenith
#

If you have turbo that works

latent moon
upper thorn
#

I thought that i have to talk to orpheus lmao

#

Its his instrument

calm zenith
#

Yeah

latent moon
#

well you have to play his instrument

calm zenith
#

Yeah

upper thorn
#

Okay thanks for the infp

calm zenith
#

You get better at it

upper thorn
#

Info

#

This discord is gold

latent moon
#

the easiest way is to just like, play it 2 or 3 times before you do a run

#

"easiest" meaning like

void vigil
#

Yeah so it’s better to do it over multiple runs imo and not stress about it

latent moon
#

less brain dead lmao

calm zenith
#

They have turbo on their controller

#

So literally just leave it afk

latent moon
#

the other option is sit there for a while and spam it

upper thorn
#

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

void vigil
#

I did it like 5 times between each run and it went by quickly enough

calm zenith
#

Np

upper thorn
#

And why does approved process exist 😭

latent moon
#

i used to do 1 each run before realizing i had to do it 210 times lmao

calm zenith
#

At 5 times it would take 22 runs

#

Not bad

latent moon
calm zenith
#

That's like a week even if you go slow

upper thorn
#

And I can't get in bed with dusa even after doing everything, giving ambrosia and all that

latent moon
#

i've been speedrunning 40 heat a lot recently and oh boy the amount of times i had mirage shot crossed out

calm zenith
#

She is platonic love

upper thorn
#

The bond bar is full, and there are 3 hearts after the love arrow

calm zenith
#

She has a friend crush on Zag

upper thorn
#

So no bed?

latent moon
#

no

upper thorn
#

No cutscene or anything

latent moon
#

she's just a friend lmao

upper thorn
#

Bruh sad

calm zenith
#

Nope. You'll see

#

There is a cutscene.

upper thorn
#

What about thanatos

#

Oh yeahhhhh

#

A cutscene

calm zenith
#

Yup

latent moon
#

oh yeah there is a cutscene

upper thorn
#

Wasting all of my ambrosia

latent moon
#

i'm pretty sure there is anyways

#

it's been a while

calm zenith
#

It just doesnt end up in sex scenes being a random mid-run event

upper thorn
#

Okay thanks, gave me motivation

calm zenith
#

Those mostly happen with Meg though Thanatos is busy.

upper thorn
calm zenith
#

||you can do both at once too||

upper thorn

Is there a wiki or something

void vigil
gray apex
# upper thorn And chaos?

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.

void vigil
#

but a lot of players in this server are very knowledgeable about the game from playing a lot of it shadesmile

gray apex
#

Yea I have atleast 3 hours of playtime

void vigil
#

omg me too shadeohboy

upper thorn
#

upper thorn

Longer than i expected

rustic vale

But I don’t remembee

upper thorn
#

Okay thanks

normal marlin
#

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

stone rune
#

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.

normal marlin
#

oh

#

damn

stone rune

#

normal marlin

Also and most glaringly, the dash looks and feels very wonky.

dull niche
#

this is so disorienting lmfao

rose trellis
#

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

dull niche
#

it’s a pretty significant change so I kinda get that

#

what does chaos% mean here?

rose trellis
#

That was just the name of the patch since it introduced Chaos, I didn't understand naming conventions back then lol

dull niche
#

oh gotcha lol

#

thanks for the link this is so funky

mint coral

signal aspen

#

Any super super fun cast build?

stone rune
#

beo

#

flood flare

#

deadly strike

#

mirage shot

upper thorn
#

Very nice

#

Thank you

upper thorn
#

Differences between flare and shot?

stone rune
#

flare is beowulf exclusive

#

do u have it

#

aspect of shield

rustic vale
#

Hera gets trippy flare

stone rune
#

false

#

hera gets crush shot

rustic vale
#

that

#

Doesn’t change the fact that hera does indeed get a flare

stone rune
#

nope

#

not even a real boon

rustic vale
#

and so it isn’t beo exclusive

upper thorn
#

I swore I commented a question

stone rune
#

well for 99% of purposes

#

flare is beo exclusive

#

we dont need to pick hairs about this

upper thorn
#

Wtf my discord having troubles loading messages

stone rune
#

like

rustic vale
#

Flares

#

Instead of traveling distance

upper thorn
rustic vale
#

Like immediately release and prok in an area around the end of your dragon rush

upper thorn
#

I am playing flood shot tho

#

But whats the difference

stone rune
#

wait

#

so u have it?

#

don’t play it with flood shot

#

flood shot sucks

rustic vale
stone rune
#

unless ur doing it for speedrun and it’s a flavorful addition

#

flood shot as a starting boon is bad

upper thorn
#

But why wtf

#

I don't get it

rustic vale
stone rune
#

beowulf is good with flood flare because they come out very fast

upper thorn
#

Ah yeah thats my question

stone rune
#

and also mirage shot is bugged with it

#

to double damage

upper thorn
#

Oh so that's why my build doesnt do much damage, because of flood shot

#

Ok thank you

rustic vale
#

Instead of having shots it has flares

upper thorn
#

Okok

rustic vale
#

Hera also gets trippy flare

#

Because the way it casts can’t work with trippy shot

stone rune
#

you can watch my super duper awesome amazing vod to see flood flare in action

upper thorn
#

Ok thank you

latent moon
stone rune
#

yeah flood shot is slow af to shoot out

rustic vale
#

Means they’d have to be using a non-beo aspect

stone rune
#

maybe it might work with flurry cast

#

but like

#

why

upper thorn
#

No

#

Im usding beo

#

Using

#

You have Naegling's Board, but take +10% damage

latent moon
#

Yeah that's beo

upper thorn
#

Yeah but i currently have flood shot and not flare

stone rune
#

yep

upper thorn
#

Lol

stone rune
#

that is not possible

upper thorn
#

Do you want a picture or what

stone rune
#

do you actually have it selected

#

yes i’d like a picture

upper thorn
#

Yes wtf

#

Wait

#

Lemme take one and post imgur

rustic vale
#

Uhhhhhhp

#

Floodshot on beo

latent moon
#

I mean a pic would be nice considering beo is only meant to have flares

rustic vale
#

Means your game has to be bugged

#

or broken

stone rune
#

or more likely they aren’t on beo

latent moon
#

Or another classic beo bug

rustic vale
#

Something isn’t right

#

bugowulf

upper thorn
#

Wait im posting

#

If i dont have beo why does my rush puts out cast lnao

#

Lmao

rustic vale
#

rustic vale
#

Is shooting out floodshots?

upper thorn
#

Its so slow

#

Idk

rustic vale
#

🤨

upper thorn
#

It just comes out a lot of poseidons cast

#

I never choose poseidon cast so i don't know how it acts

rustic vale
#

Flood flare is significantly larger then floodshot btw

latent moon
#

Flares explode, shots shoot out like a projectile

rustic vale
#

now

stone rune
#

yeah

rustic vale
latent moon
#

I mean functionality wise it's definitely describing a flare

stone rune
#

maybe diff language or something

upper thorn
#

No

latent moon
#

The only thing we're debating is the actual name of the boon

upper thorn
#

English

stone rune
#

ok can we see pic

rustic vale
#

If it explodes out at the end of the rush

#

It’s a flare

latent moon
