stone rune
#

charon i guess

latent moon
#

Did you reach the credits

dreamy flume
#

dreamy flume
#

when i walk up to hades

#

the mother is at the desk

stone rune
#

yeah

#

thats credits

rustic vale
stone rune
#

dreamy flume
#

i thought there would be like

upper thorn
dreamy flume
#

a hardcore version

#

that empowers all the bosses

stone rune
#

if you wanna keep playing

dreamy flume
#

and gives them new abilities

stone rune
rustic vale
stone rune
#

there is precisely what you are describing

rustic vale
#

I’ve said this in like

stone rune
#

it is in the game

dreamy flume
#

oh ok

#

what about hell version

rustic vale
#

3 different messages now

stone rune
#

do you use the heat pact

latent moon
#

@upper thorn flood shot is just a visual thingy that doesn't matter lol it's supposed to be flare

dreamy flume
#

i will

rustic vale
latent moon
#

It'll act like a flare tho

upper thorn
#

Okay thank you

latent moon
#

Beowulf is a buggy weapon lol

rustic vale
stone rune
#

hades is remarkably not buggy now i think of it

#

like

upper thorn
#

Hera too

stone rune
#

there are the bugs we use for speedruns

#

and then like 2 visual bugs

rustic vale
#

Hera isn’t very buggy

stone rune
#

walnut

#

LMFAO

rustic vale
#

Sworb has

stone rune
#

wallbug

rustic vale
#

zap dash

stone rune
#

but like

rustic vale
#

uhhhh

stone rune
#

nearly every fps game i’ve played has way more bugs

latent moon
# upper thorn Hera too

That's like a very specific thing that can happen, I think it's if you load and collect a cast in the same frame or something

rustic vale
latent moon
#

That doesn't happen often at all

rustic vale
#

But it should be

stone rune
dreamy flume
#

Is there a way to get more than 6 weapons?

latent moon
#

No

stone rune
dreamy flume
#

the sword feels very weak

#

other than excalibur

#

the other 3 forms are kind of rubbish

stone rune
#

there is more to a game than surface level content

latent moon
stone rune
#

poseidon:

dreamy flume
#

it took me around 10 hours to get all of the fourth aspects

rustic vale
#

Nemesis

#

Is the best sword aspect tbh

dreamy flume
#

is that the one that smacks the red crystals out of the mobs

rustic vale
#

No

#

It’s the crit chance one

stone rune
#

no it’s crit chance

dreamy flume
#

special

stone rune
#

yeah

dreamy flume
#

does that give u guranteed crits?

rustic vale
#

Special -> crit chance

stone rune
#

that is the best one by far

rustic vale
stone rune
dreamy flume
#

what about the spear

#

what is the point in Guan Yu's spear?

stone rune
stone rune
dreamy flume
#

just the special?

#

so u never use its regular attacks?

rustic vale
#

achilles > guan-yu > the other 2

rustic vale
stone rune
#

the attack is useless and the dash strike is the same as the others so it is fine

rustic vale
#

But not standing

dreamy flume
#

ok

#

is there a way to get zeus' attack boon to duo with another boon?

rustic vale
#

Not spinning unless you find quick and massive spin and no charged skewer

dreamy flume
#

the wiki didnt mention any duo boons that involved zeus' attack boons

#

like

#

for poseiodon

rustic vale
#

Wdym

dreamy flume
#

i can get sea storm

stone rune
#

oh wait

#

yeah

dreamy flume
#

to electrocute people who get pushed back

stone rune
#

there are plenty

dreamy flume
#

but zeus' lightning attacks

#

cant be buffed by another boon

#

like

#

theres no boon

stone rune
#

well yeah

latent moon
#

RUSH DELIVERY WOOOOOO

dreamy flume
#

that deals bonus damage or additional effects to an enemy hit by lightning

rustic vale
#

Zeus lightning attacks all get buffed by his own support bokns

stone rune
#

jolted

#

lol

dreamy flume
stone rune
dreamy flume
#

i find that single boons are worthless

rustic vale
latent moon
#

Static discharge does big damage

dreamy flume
#

need duo boons to deal damage

stone rune
#

static discharge is cracked

stone rune
rustic vale
#

You don’t need duo bokns for damage bouldy

stone rune
#

to an immeasurable degree

#

most duos are not good

rustic vale
#

Hunters mark, static discharge,

latent moon
#

Eris doesn't need duos it needs jolted

rustic vale
#

both great support boons

latent moon
#

And the 75% global buff lol

stone rune
#

hestia doesnt duo

#

hera kinda doesn’t duo

latent moon
#

Well hestia doesn't go for Zeus cores

#

Except like call but that's different

dreamy flume
#

you mean demeter?

stone rune
#

the only truly immense duo in the game is ME

dreamy flume
#

demeter is hestia right

stone rune
rustic vale
#

what

#

hestia is a rail aspect

#

Demeter is a fists aspect

dreamy flume
#

oh you mean the gun

rustic vale
#

uh

#

Even in the myths hestia and demeter aren’t the same

stone rune
#

the only weps which are actually reliant on duos are MEspects and beo and to a degree achilles

#

but like 75% of weps are MEspects bouldy

rustic vale
#

support boons are really important for damage

stone rune
#

yea

rustic vale
#

Even ME cries without impending doom

dreamy flume
#

so which summon is the best?

rustic vale
latent moon
dreamy flume
#

the rock?

rustic vale
#

No

latent moon
#

Epic haste kinds impending

latent moon
rustic vale
#

megaera

#

the bat

latent moon
#

Should be far left one

dreamy flume
#

yeah she disappeared once her sisters started appearing as the first boss

stone rune
#

2500 dmg in a line

rustic vale
#

She doesn’t stop being a tartarus boss

dreamy flume
#

strange that apollo dosent have any boons

#

i guess hes too similar to athena

#

and artemis

rustic vale
#

Apollo isn’t in the game

dreamy flume
#

he should be though

#

hes like a major god

rustic vale
#

No

dreamy flume
#

?

#

hes equivalent to hermes at least

rustic vale
#

He

#

There isn’t any space for him

dreamy flume
#

rip

rustic vale
#

I know mods donit

#

But like

#

Hades is fine without him

dreamy flume
#

shouldnt have demeter

#

should either have hera or apollo

rustic vale
#

It should have demeter

dreamy flume
#

or hephasteous

#

cause shes zagreus' granny?

stone rune
#

apollo hestia and hephaestus are the missing olympians

latent moon
dreamy flume
#

yes she looks very old

rustic vale
#

The game is perfect

dreamy flume
#

i thought she was Zagreus' grandmother

#

instead of his mother

rustic vale
#

Hades has no flaws

dreamy flume
#

when i first saw her

rustic vale
dreamy flume
#

No

#

i mean

#

persephone

rustic vale
#

Oh wait did you mean persephone

dreamy flume
#

Also why cant u kill thanatos

#

to get his sycthe

rustic vale
latent moon
#

Also I'm pretty sure the devs mentioned why Apollo wasn't in the game

dreamy flume
rustic vale
#

Hmm I wonder why you can’t kill the god of death

latent moon
#

He is gonna be in hades 2 so that's neat

dreamy flume
rustic vale
#

Kratos is definitely in Hades guys

dreamy flume
#

He was in tartarus

#

he escaped

latent moon
#

Omg kratos from Fortnite??!!?

rustic vale
dreamy flume
rustic vale
#

Bringing up someone from a different game is just bouldy

#

and Hades plays loose with actual greek myth as is

dreamy flume
#

Hopefully in Hades 2

#

i will get to kill thanatos to get his sycthe

stone rune
latent moon
#

You're playing as zags sister that's not gonna happen

rustic vale
#

I remember someone coming into the discord and having issue with them changing greek myth to not include incest in the hit video game Hades

latent moon
#

Oh yeah lmao

rustic vale
#

Time to google

#

“Official statement hades devs apollo”

latent moon
#

I'm pretty sure it's in the q and a

#

It was like

#

They wanted to use less popular gods or something

dreamy flume
#

Zagreus is very ugly

#

hopefully his sister isnt such an eyesore

rustic vale
rustic vale
latent moon
dreamy flume
latent moon
#

She really doesn't lmao

stone rune
#

i’m convinced u don’t like the game

dreamy flume
#

They both have grey skin

rustic vale
#

Speaking of not liking the game remember the dude who came in complaining Hades had no checkpoints

latent moon
#

Don't a lot of the characters have grey skin

dreamy flume
#

just the furies

latent moon
#

Like hades has grey skin doesn't he

#

Than

rustic vale
#

Hades

dreamy flume
latent moon
#

What

dreamy flume
#

They both wear the ashes of their dead wives as face paint

latent moon
#

Kratos isn't even in the game what are you on

dreamy flume
#

but Hades is

rustic vale
#

I’m convinced this dude played God of War then bought Hades assuming it was the sequel

latent moon
#

Hades wife literally exists

#

She's alive

#

What are you on lmao

dreamy flume
#

Yes but she was dead

#

or else

latent moon
#

What

dreamy flume
#

how did she come to the underworld?

rustic vale
dreamy flume
#

Hades killed her

#

same way Kratos killed his wife to become the god of war

latent moon
#

Bruh that's not how that works lmao

#

Forget about kratos man

dreamy flume
#

I know this is hard for you to understand

latent moon
#

He's completely irrelevant here

rustic vale
#

Bro’s trolling

dreamy flume
#

But Hades takes place in the God of War universe

rustic vale
#

De about it

#

true

latent moon
#

._.

rustic vale
#

Hades is a direct prequel to God of War

dreamy flume
#

Yes

rustic vale
#

Also

dreamy flume
#

In Hades 2

#

Kratos will kill Ares

rustic vale
#

Using Hades reddit is a red flag

dreamy flume
#

and become the new god of war

#

He will give you the blades of chaos

rustic vale
#

Hades reddit is like stone age last I checked

dreamy flume
rustic vale
#

That

stone rune
rustic vale
#

Doesn’t change anything

#

They’re playing the game like it’s still in beta

#

And hasn’t had any changes since beta

#

In terms of Hades game knowledge

#

They are in the stone age

dreamy flume
#

Also

#

Hades dosen't actually have a beard

#

he only has a moustache

#

shaped like a bident

rustic vale
dreamy flume
#

He can't grow one

rustic vale
dreamy flume
#

thats why he was jealous of zeus

#

I shall try beating Hades without using any weapons

#

lets see how this goes

#

Also

#

I think the Hades devs should sue the Blood of Zeus director for copyright infringement

#

Its clear that they ripped off the story

calm zenith
#

Hades with just cast isnt impossible

rustic vale
#

Hades devs should actually just

#

sue the ancient greeks

calm zenith
#

Hades devs cant own most of the Hades property

rustic vale
#

They clearly stole inspirarion From Hades

calm zenith
#

Not yet

dreamy flume
#

Ye

calm zenith
#

Wizards of the coast does it lmfao

#

Owning monster names when you base your lore on mythology

dreamy flume
#

The Ancient Greeks stole all of their culture from the Hades Devs

rustic vale
#

Wizards of the coast 💀💀💀💀💀

#

Such an L company

dreamy flume
#

No they are the best

calm zenith
#

I love that they leaked Beholder

dreamy flume
#

One D&D will be the best TTRPG to date

rustic vale
#

They

#

Are making

#

A worse version of a horrible game

dreamy flume
#

idk about that one chief

rustic vale
#

5e but 12 steps back for every step forward

calm zenith
#

Some stuff sounds promising but idk

dreamy flume
#

D&D 5e is the most successful ttrpg ever released

#

It will only be overtaken by ONE D&D

#

you wanna know why its called ONE D&D?

rustic vale
#

It’s also unbalanced and janky as hell

calm zenith
#

All dnd editions have been

dreamy flume
#

It's because its the only one TTRPG to become undisputed in sales for all of the foreseeable future

rustic vale
#

4e

dreamy flume
#

4e was the very epitome of garbage

rustic vale
#

Sounds relatively balanced compared to 5e

dreamy flume
#

but 5e is good

calm zenith
#

4e is still unbalanced

rustic vale
#

But less

#

unbalanced then 5e

calm zenith
#

Earlier editions are janky as hell

rustic vale
#

Where casters reign supreme and there isn’t any reason to ever been in melee

calm zenith
#

It's not a bad game because it has flaws. Good games always have major flaws.

rustic vale
calm zenith
#

What

dreamy flume
#

Most mobs later on all have magic resistance in addition to legendary resistance

#

They released dragon's wrath weapons

rustic vale
#

and?

dreamy flume
#

which deal 3d6 additional damage in additional to being a +3 weapon

rustic vale
#

That doesn’t change antthing

dreamy flume
#

you deal way more damage than a pure spellcaster

rustic vale
#

Ranged martials are vastly superior to mele eones

rustic vale
#

Yes

#

You have nothing over a ranged nartial as a melee martial

calm zenith
#

Not really

#

Wrong

rustic vale
#

Literally nothing

calm zenith
#

You havent played much then

rustic vale
#

You are putting yourself in an area to take more damage

calm zenith
#

Idk what else to say

dreamy flume
#

Not if you use Curse Bringer, Claw of Acamar or Mace of Dispater in additional to divine smite and eldritch smite

rustic vale
#

For no benefit

dreamy flume
#

not on and off

#

consistently

rustic vale
#

I’ve been delving into the depths of optimisation for the last 2 years

calm zenith
#

This is really blockheaded gamer logic kinda. It doesn't really work.

#

Sure you have

dreamy flume
#

You can create a greatsword forged from silver, with black runes etched into its blade, using your Pact of the Blade feature. If you reduce a target cursed by your Hexblade's Curse to 0 hit points with this sword, you can immediately change the target of the curse to a different creature. This change doesn't extend the curse's duration.

When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can expend a spell slot to deal an additional 2d8 slashing damage to the target per spell level, and you can reduce the creature's speed to 0 feet until the end of your next turn.

rustic vale
#

tell me

#

Any advantage melee has over ranged

#

please

dreamy flume
#

you can divine smite

rustic vale
dreamy flume
#

why are you using the cactus jack emoji

#

this isnt wwe

#

this is wwf

rustic vale
#

Melee literally doesn’t have an advantage over ranged

dreamy flume
rustic vale
#

Divine smiting is terrible

dreamy flume
#

You can also use reckless attack with melee

dreamy flume
#

most dnd campaigns

#

take place between levels 1-5

#

at level 2

rustic vale
dreamy flume
#

paladin is the strongest

stone rune
#

two nerds fighting

dreamy flume
raw herald
#

H

dreamy flume
#

You need to be smart to posture as a nerd

calm zenith
#

No clearly just the meta is good and is viable at all times

#

Everyone plays lvl 20 campaigns will full inventories

rustic vale
#

Oh my

#

It’s

#

No

#

No

#

Don’t even

dreamy flume
#

Take a deep breath

rustic vale
#

At all tiers of play

calm zenith
#

Could you be more condescending

#

Jeez man

stone rune
#

three nerds fighting

rustic vale
rustic vale
dreamy flume
#

come to term

calm zenith
#

You're why I dont talk about dnd

dreamy flume
#

with your misunderstandings

rustic vale
#

I’m

calm zenith
#

People like you ruin the game for others.

rustic vale
#

It’s 4:49am I should be asleep

calm zenith
#

I would suggest you stop alienating people.

#

Yes

rustic vale
#

Why am I arguing with people

#

About a game

calm zenith
#

I do this often. I get it.

dreamy flume
calm zenith
#

But its dumb

dreamy flume
#

If you sleep now you convey defeat

stone rune
#

three nerds still fighting

dreamy flume
#

I will not have my victory proclaimed so easily

rustic vale
#

It’s dumb that people don’t want to put thought into their characters

raw herald
#

Hades 😊

rustic vale
#

that’s whats dumb

stone rune
dreamy flume
#

Anyways

calm zenith
#

Some do. Some dont play games like that.

dreamy flume
#

You can use polarm master and sentinel with melee

stone rune
dreamy flume
#

you can use divine smite with melee

rustic vale
#

Sentinel sucks

dreamy flume
#

you can use reckless attack with melee

stone rune
#

three nerds continuing to fight

dreamy flume
#

you can grapple people in melee

rustic vale
#

And the entire time

#

You are in melee

stone rune
#

three nerds never relenting in their battle

rustic vale
#

Where you are taking more damage

dreamy flume
#

take 3 levels in barb

#

ur damage problem is solved with bear totem

rustic vale
#

You’re still taking more damage

calm zenith
#

Yeah sounds like a skill issue

rustic vale
#

Besr totem isn’t solving that issue

dreamy flume
#

So enemies dont have range?

calm zenith
#

You can recover damage it's how the game is designed

raw herald
#

Me trying to validate using abyssal blood at high heat

stone rune
#

three nerds fighting till the end of oblivion

stone rune
#

sucked

#

because it’s chiron

raw herald
#

I tried it on eris

rustic vale
stone rune
rustic vale
#

so it’s much more punishing to be in melee

dreamy flume
#

Goblins and bandits are the most common mobs at low level

rustic vale
#

Literally any enemy from the gamepl

stone rune
#

oh yeah why isn’t eris used at heats like 60

#

it seems suitable for it

raw herald
#

Because 60 heat sucks

rustic vale
#

I’m throwing in the towel

stone rune
rustic vale
#

I wanted to go to bed back at 3:00

dreamy flume
stone rune
dreamy flume
stone rune
rustic vale
#

And I’m not sacrificing more sleep just to have an arguement with someone whose mind I won’t change

stone rune
rustic vale
#

We’re clearly both very deepset in our own respective opinions

raw herald
#

Real

rustic vale
#

What

dreamy flume
#

We are more alike than you'd like to admit

stone rune
rustic vale
#

I’m very deepset in mine

dreamy flume
stone rune
#

ok

rustic vale
#

Night

#

Or morning I guess

#

4:57 🙃

upper thorn
gray apex
upper thorn
#

Is there anyway you can control which side meg's companion aim?

#

Or its completely random

#

I feel like it is always against me lol

gray apex
upper thorn
#

wow didn't know that

#

And is there anyways to hit 1 target with 2 circles?

#

So 5000 dmg basically

#

With the small overlap hitbox

gray apex
#

No, the circles come out too fast and enemies are slow in comparison

upper thorn
#

Sad

#

Okay thank you

gray apex
#

There is a guide to using it in minibosses so you can hit both bombers/ all 4 witches etc

halcyon girder
#

I find it funny that companions are called out like stands from jojo

#

Also I am like really close to the true ending getting the boons are the hardest

halcyon girder
#

Well not hard tedious

hollow ore
#

Does double edge not have a unique animation?

#

I got it with the aspect of nemesis sword and I'm not seeing two attacks when I dash?

gray apex
#

Maybe it’s slightly different I don’t actually recall

hollow ore
#

It doesn't seem to do more

#

tbh

#

I mean it's doing more I'm not sure it's double hitting

#

I'm seeing animations of a double hit on the other weapons

gray apex
#

It is the best sword hammer by far

#

Should be pretty noticeable in terms of damage output

hollow ore
#

maybe it's just not animating it

latent moon
#

There's no animation for double edge afaik

#

You'll hear it hit twice I think tho

#

But it will double hit

#

It's not like double nova where you can dash out of the second hit

rustic vale
#

It’s not 2 parrallel shots like twin shot

#

They’d overlap since they come from the same place

void vigil
#

i believe its just the noise and a bit more hitstop mayyybe

#

no animation

rustic vale
#

If you had like

#

Pos strike

#

You could easily tell the second hit happens I believe

void vigil
#

im not a double edge connoisseur

#

oh also, do you have damage numbers on

#

maybe they will show up twice

#

since it might be counted seperate

rustic vale
#

If

mint coral
#

Dmg numbers are fake
Just feel the dmg increase

rustic vale
#

You really want to check

#

Use hangover or chill on strike

#

it’s quite obvious in both cases

void vigil
#

but i like my violence in numerical form

rustic vale
#

I’m trying to remember

#

Pretty sure dedge is like

#

The numbers merge

mint coral
#

Remember to never trust what the game tells you

#

Trippy flare beo moment

rustic vale
#

Idk man I just feel the dmg increase on trippy flare rather then checking dmg numbers

#

same with mirage shot on beo

mint coral
#

I will always love when people found trippy flare poms glitch lol

#

"wait why im doing 500 on meg with 1 cast"

rustic vale
#

And like

#

If you try to run the numbers

#

It doesn’t check out

#

cuz the base doesn’t double

#

The 1 thing I want to know is how

#

for a lot of these bugs

#

Mirage shot on beo makes sense

#

but the rest are like

mint coral
#

Trippy flare beo will never make sense

rustic vale
#

I’m sorry how does zap dash interact with sword dstrike at all

mint coral
#

(and for whoever is wondering the hell we mean)
-trippy flare on hera doesnt get the bug so is not the flare
Other casts dont get the bug so its also not beo???
Combine both and now there is an issue

rustic vale
#

How does

#

peer pressure glitch even happen

mint coral
#

I love peer pressure having that ridiculous bug yet it still so bad

rustic vale
#

The dmg multi literally changes from regular enemy to boss

mint coral
#

Bc of how hangover works

rustic vale
#

which is why

#

I’d get it if it was 8* for all enemies

#

But why is it only 2* for bosses

#

And how

#

How does that happen

mint coral
#

Iirc pseudo said that bug used the same multiplier traps use?? So same thin for x8 on enemies and x2 on bosses

#

It was something like that

rustic vale
#

Bosses take double trap dmg?

#

Interesting

mint coral
rustic vale
#

I can see how the clockets bug would happen

#

How did shadow slash and cursed slash get bugged to not apply on dstrikes

mint coral
#

Tbf we also dont know if that was just a deliberate choice or no

rustic vale
#

That was the joke

mint coral
rustic vale
#

Just like how chaos has been bugged ever since the game exitted beta

#

The shield spread isn’t right anymore

mint coral
#

Oh yeah
There is also armored numbskulls on tart trials

#

(they arent supposed to spawn there)

rustic vale
#

How fun

mint coral
#

Classic

latent moon
#

lmfao that's horrible

rose trellis
#

I think so, then they nerfed to 2 when they revamped. Heat was the boss reward before there was titans blood, ambrosia or diamonds. When the pact was first introduced, Heat went up a lot higher but scaled more slowly. 120 Heat back then equals 32 Heat now.

royal widget
#

that's pretty weird

#

crazy how much it's changed

dire tendon
#

the trippy bug works on hera flare just not mirage

#

or is it the other way around

#

it might be the other way around

mint coral
#

but yes hera uses trippy flare so it has the mirage shot bug

#

but not the pom bug for whatever reason

armored numbskulls arent supposed to spawn in tart trials

#

and their low difficulty rating made the wave take forever

normal marlin
#

it didn't seem like it took that long

#

unless there was more before the clip starts?

mint coral
#

Its also during a speedrun

normal marlin
#

idk me personally if I was speedrunning and that happened I would think nothing of it

mint coral
#

a "normal" trial could have taken way less

stone rune
#

LMFAO poor cgull

#

this is the game cursing him for finding too much tech

what are all the characters that can give you companions

#

I have meg, than and dusa
I know skelly is one

oh yeah

honestly I haven't seen that guy in ages

#

his room doesn't come up for me very often

latent moon
normal marlin
#

ngl I don't remember the last time I even got a trial in tartarus

latent moon
#

they happen

#

it's generally in like

#

c10ish

normal marlin
#

I usually get them in elysium

latent moon
#

they have like a 15 chamber buffer so most of the time you'll see it in ely

#

or at least notice them

normal marlin
#

do we agree that Athena is definitely the easiest trial to go against

mint coral
#

if its on tart-aspho yeah

#

Athena in Ely trials is ew

normal marlin
#

unless you're speedrunning then that could be a major annoyance

mint coral
#

or in heat were tight deadline is at play

calm zenith
#

It's often preferable yeah. People say Artemis is bad but I find hers managable

#

If you're moving around enough you wont get caught in it

#

Zeus is harder imo because it tracks you better

#

It doesnt follow you but like it triggers when you enter it

#

Then Demeter is just trash

#

Love it when the last enemy for the chamber jumps into the vortex right as it spawns

do i choose chaos or the daedelus hammer?

stone rune

chaos

i am using the spear and im pretty early in

stone rune

90% of the time

foggy oxide
#

ok thanks

stone rune
#

oh wait

#

spear

#

what aspect

foggy oxide
#

base

#

idk how to use my blood things on it

stone rune
#

probably hammer tbh

#

hope for flurry jab

#

or serrated point

foggy oxide
#

flurry jab is the dash one right#

stone rune
#

flurry jab is the one where you attack quickly but you cant spin

#

serrated point is the one where you have 3 dash strikes but they have less distance

foggy oxide
#

oh no

#

vicious skewer, chain skewer or extending jab are my options

stone rune
#

extending jab

foggy oxide
#

ok thanks

Romancing Meg should you escape to progress or will lava runs work for her to show up in zags room

latent moon
#

you prob just have to beat her i guess

#

idrk if any of her romance dialogue is dependent on escaping

#

but i also dont know if you actually have to beat her lmao

calm zenith

You do. It's based in that.

Possibly a certain number of times

Uh

bruh i don't get the icons

am I supposed to search the icon

so demeter goes well on the weapons that hit hard because she’s a +% scaler

#

ok thank you

rustic vale
# upper thorn ok thank you

I think spreadfire zag rail is one of the times she gets to shine on strike because it hits fast enough for multiple chill stacks but also gets 40 base damage to work with

#

She’s also just good for beefy specials

upper thorn
#

lmao the demeter/aphro duo boon

#

is my last one in the prophecy

#

i tried to avoid it for so long

#

it is time

calm zenith
#

The hidden aspects are good for that too

#

Primarily its decent on Gilga lol

#

If Rail is better Fists then Spread Fire must be better Gilgamesh

Spreadfire is better heavy knuckle

hollow ore
#

does borderless fullscreen mode not work?

#

I still have to press the windows tab to escape the game, and the game still minimizes

sour fog
#

disable fullscreen

#

keep just borderless

#

if you have proper resolution it will stay fullscreen

hollow ore
#

AHA

#

thank you

#

that is unintuitive

#

that one setting being on disables another setting but still allows you to select it

sour fog
#

Technically yes they should be exclusive, as borderless means borderless windowed, so you can't have fullscreen at the same time. In most games this is set under one setting, so you have to pick one of them, in Hades it for some reason isn't. As far as I know the borderless setting does absolutely nothing while fullscreen is set

hollow ore
#

I was looking at the wiki for artemis and her rare cast listed a damage that was like 40 less than I have on her rare cast right now

#

as the base damage

#

is the wiki known to be outdated?

rustic vale
#

Uh

hollow ore
#

was there ingame balance adjustment that never got added?

#

OH wait I'm on lvl 2

#

nevermind, heh

hollow ore
#

yep!

#

was trying to decide on upgrading boon rarity or next 3 boons

#

I only have two upgradeable boons so it would have for sure hit artemis cast and artemis special

rustic vale
hollow ore
#

which would have been kinda nice...

#

even when there are literally only two solid boons it can upgrade?

raw herald

are the npcs around the house being available or not random?

havent seen meg in 5 runs

hollow ore
#

I have an odd situation

#

does every single satyr room count as an encounter?

#

I have one single room uncleared back at the start and am wondering if the boon where demeter delevels my other boons will mean I have 3 fights to level them in.

mint coral
#

Small satyr rooms count each as 1 encounter iirc (for rare crop)

#

They also count for well items/pom blossom/side hustle

#

But they dont count for plume/butterfly/hydro might

hollow ore
#

THAT EXPLAINS WHY MY BUTTERFLY WASN'T GROWING

#

I thought there was a cap on how good it could get!

#

I got it to like 20 or so and then on the final area it never grew

mint coral
#

Yeah for those last 3 only the big room counts

hollow ore
#

rough

#

I guess if each room counted as its own those rooms without damage buffs would get hilarious

#

still

#

kinda lame they mostly count for a room when it will hurt you

#

and not when it will benefit you

mint coral
#

I still wouldn't use but yeah gotta balance it lol

hollow ore
#

I mean it can be cool?

#

you can get pretty big damage boosts

#

I did a clear with it

#

low heat tho

#

not trying high heat yet

mint coral
#

The thing is
The weapons that do better at not getting hit prefer % boosts

#

And bc they add additively the 40% you can usually get is like a common chaos boon

hollow ore
#

oh that's a fair point

#

you're better off with a solid build than a single chaos boon

mint coral
#

If you get lots of different flat dmg sources then yeah is a pretty big boost (basically constant weaker eris buff for example)

#

But then there is the biggest weakness
You cant force the gods you want

#

Bc you cant use their keepsakes and unequipping butterfly will lose all your dmg bonus

hollow ore
#

I tried to do a fist run

#

but I got the artemis cast build

#

and the fists became kinda pointless

#

heh

hollow ore
#

Not sure I understand the distinction

#

Oh, I guess you mean like if you had a lot of weird boons and hammers throwing out bonus attacks?

#

like extra arrows from artemis (the one thing I didn't get sadge) or multi-hit hammer attacks?

#

Butterfly needed to be a boon you earn from the keepsake that you can swap out...

#

an alternate to chaos/feather duster when you're okay letting your first floor plan your build for you.

mint coral
#

For example of global dmg boosts being amazing on flat dmg (and fast hitting weapons)
Eris gives you a +75% global boost for 4 seconds after standing in your special explosion

Now both your attack and lightning strike get that boost

hollow ore
#

ohhhh

#

cool

#

I'd always felt like zeus was pretty much the weakest god

#

because most of his lightning relies on their being another enemy

#

not always true in boss fights from moment to moment

#

and the enemies arent' always near enough the boss for the lightning

#

and the lightning isn't really a lot of damage

#

compared to +crit chance and damage, or doom

mint coral
#

Zeus gets better the more zeus boon you stacks

karmic shadow
#

hey what are the BEST mods that adds content ?

#

Olympus Extra ?

mint coral
#

Thats like the only one that really adds content so ig

karmic shadow
#

ok

mint coral
#

Fusion aspects/final aspects I dont remember what is called is pretty fun too lol

#

If you want broken things ofc

karmic shadow
#

oops

#

forgot about that

#

i don't want broken stuff, moreso content at the end ya know ?

mint coral
#

8f you cant barely see on the screen because you are shooting so much lightning around then you are doing good

#

And as I said before it also depends on your weapon

#

A slow weapon wont benefit from lightning strike

#

Where a fast weapon will create easily even more lightning

Getting Eury and Hermes at the same time is painful

mint coral
#

Hermes/hammers get pushed into you if you ignore them

#

The game wants to make ur yu get the 2 hammers and 2 hermes boons

#
  • eury first means you can get increased rarity on his boons BocchiHehe
hollow ore
#

do they really???

#

I wondered why it felt like I always saw hermes showing up more and more later

#

and hammers in elysia

mint coral
#

2nd hammer can only show up from ely and onwards

hollow ore
mint coral
#

Really happens

hollow ore
#

and can you get more than 2 hammers?

mint coral
#

Not normally/same for hermes

hollow ore
#

other than the anvil I mean

mint coral
#

Only anvil/3rd hermes boon in styx shop

#

question, if i do like heat lvl 10 but i';ve only beaten heat 5, does it give me all the bounties from 5-10 or no?

hollow ore
#

huh

raw herald
hollow ore
#

wait it will???

strong dune
#

wait what

raw herald
#

If the highest you’ve beat is 5, then yea

hollow ore
#

I've done higher heat levels and only gotten darkness?

#

or do you have to full clear

#

for the other rewards?

strong dune
#

oh

mint coral
#

You only get the bounties for your current heat and yeah full clear

strong dune
#

I c... so it doedsn't clear me for 10 heat but only the next level?

hollow ore
#

wait...

mint coral
#

So ifyou do heat 10 but your next reward is 6 then it counts as escaping with 6

#

Then do it agan and it will count as 7 heat and so on

hollow ore
#

so if I do 10 heat while I only need to do one heat will the next level of heat be 2 or 11

#

ahhh

mint coral
#

Till you reach 10 then you need to increase further

strong dune
#

Ah gotcha

#

Does someone have a heat list from easiest to hardest?

hollow ore
#

some of that is probably preference.

mint coral
hollow ore
#

Shop or Hermes?

#

Hermes, right?

#

basically always hermes?

mint coral
#

I dont know your build but assuming you arent speedrunning/dealing with tight deadline (and really short on time) then yeah hermes is good

fierce shard
#

@calm zenith so like Meg romance dialogue dependent on escaping eh thx

hollow ore
#

did they patch the shop so that two boons appearing is much rarer?

#

I feel like it used to happen a lot and now I hardly ever see it

#

or does that only happen when the game detects you are low on boons and what's happening is with the mirror filled out I have a much higher chance of boon rooms than I used to?

#

anyone know how to use RNG manipulation i keep on failing to get cluster rockets

latent moon
#

the only way you can rng manip would be the anvil in styx

#

unless you route a whole run from start to second hammer

#

if you mean like to guarantee clockets from hammers alone, then that's not feasible unless you have an rng manip mod or are using the eris route

#

if you mean the anvil, you'd have to cast/summon/use voice lines to rotate between options before you buy the anvil

gray apex
#

Or just play hypermodded

latent moon
#

or that

#

mod the game such that you can only get clockets

gray apex
#

Might be able to just use hammer control

Sea storm is fun. Do you use controller? Try it in Lucifer attack (or special) with Eternal Chamber.

#

Funny stuff happens. Your attack will alternate between targets which I believe should release more bolts than usual.

#

Because the attack is pushing back constantly, auto aim will constantly search for a new, closer target

royal widget
#

does sea storm proc splitting bolt?

calm zenith
#

If the bolts work the way I think then its actually a really cool exploit

#

Should

#

Plus sea storm on Lucifer special is just great

#

You get high % but also a proximity bolt to trigger the special if you dont.

#

With triple bomb and auto aim they just automatically burst on enemies

#

Sea Storm is like a B tier duo that can be quite good

#

Depends on how much you get out of it bolts wise.

#

Like it gets way better with more Poseidon and Zeus boons

lethal bay
#

Is Coronacht any good (Wondering if I should pour titan blood into it)

calm zenith
#

Bow is like the 2nd best weapon

#

Arguably the strongest all around for damage besides some Rail builds

#

Power shots + dash strikes

#

Damage comes out fast and strong with solid aoe and range, great hammers, and the ability to stay away from enemies

calm zenith
#

Just has a certain skill requirement. You gotta learn a skill to use it. I suggest pouring some blood into the Zagreus aspect of bow, do a crit-heavy build, and see how you like it.

stone rune
calm zenith
#

Well I did say Rail

stone rune
dire tendon
#

i mean damagewise bow seems a solid number 2

#

overall

calm zenith
#

Beo is an exception among shields

stone rune
#

bow highest dmg aspect is just beo but bow

calm zenith
#

Bow does more dmg than shield does baseline

dire tendon
#

considering chaos and zagshield vs chiron and zagbow idk

#

zeus is als not the fastest compared to rama

calm zenith
#

Yes but Beo has stronger effects

#

Beo is just kinda unbalanced as an aspect

dire tendon
#

i mean its certainly balanced just heavily bugged

stone rune
#

bow is like 3rd behind ME and rail

calm zenith
#

Idk. It's very easy and has huge dmg for something so defensive.

stone rune
#

if you don’t count castspects

calm zenith
#

Even without optimizing it, most people find it carries them for most relevant heats

stone rune
#

well yeah it is objectively a good weapon

#

just not the 2nd best damage

#

well

#

i guess it is the 2nd best if you count hera

calm zenith
#

Bow overall when actually used right has really good dmg across all aspects

#

Even Chiron has an early player niche at least

#

Can familiarize people with bow without relying on power shots

stone rune
#

chiron isn’t an early player niche it is a single target niche

calm zenith
#

And without needing a hammer

#

True

stone rune
#

as single target as single target gets

calm zenith
#

Hera also is easy and doesnt rely as much on power shots tbf

#

I recommend Hera as a first unlock usually

#

Zag bow is just also good and cheap

royal widget

Call? Zeus or Dionysus

inland charm
#

Ah yes, call

raw herald
#

Zeus

inland charm
#

Zeus or Artemis is powerful when fighting Hades but Artemis only powerful when it reached the greater call

#

I've never used Ares aid, what does it do

raw herald
#

Turns you into a blade rift

tulip quartz
#

i like zeus and aphrodite calls lol

raw herald
#

It gives you invulnerability but the damage is low

And you cant attack normally with it

maybe somebody here can answer this for me

the spear with the zagreus aspect upgrades that cost titan blood says "Special damage, range, and speed"

is that range and speed of the special attack, or is it special attack damage increased, overall range and speed of attacks are increased?

royal widget

only affects the special
