Smh.

latent moon
#

i haven't done heat in a while so bballs haven't been too annoying yet

mint coral
#

Big thumbs + phone keyboard being weird so I'll rather just use short words lol

tepid plover
#

Soul catchers

#

Yeah it can

#

I've been lied to

weak charm
#

TRUE

native blade
weak charm
#

i did this silly chiron run where i got zeus special and it was really insane and funny

#

90% of my boons were lightning ones

#

in other news: i am HORRIBLE at extreme measures lernie oh my god

#

i lost two defiances

mint coral
#

Get lernie taxed

native blade
latent moon
#

@stone rune is full combo legitimately never used on speedrunning arthur lmao

stone rune
#

go watch nalei

latent moon
#

because i figured that'd be good for like general room clearing

stone rune
#

shackle start means you use a lot of cast and speical

latent moon
#

oh that's kinda cursed

#

that looks like extra dashes no?

stone rune
#

where

#

on arthur if you do it right you can infinitely dash strike

#

because it has a built in cooldown lmfao

latent moon
#

oh that's interesting

#

i'll do that next

#

even in normal rooms huh

stone rune
#

it's just like

#

hold mouse1

#

let me rec

latent moon
#

i'm honestly surprised i got an 11:41 with like a typical arthur playstyle lmao

stone rune
#

takes some skelly practice to get down

latent moon
#

no need to record, i'll figure it out lmao

stone rune
#

i already did lol

latent moon
#

did you just have the game open or something

stone rune
#

they rlly need to just give us image perms

stone rune
latent moon
#

oh bruh it takes me like 5 seconds to get to the menu screen lmao

#

at least

stone rune
#

i have it on my taskbar

latent moon
#

i mean load time still

stone rune
#

i guess

#

the bigger bottleneck is the upload time

#

cause im downloading something and on vpn

latent moon
#

i'm not downloading that lmao

stone rune
#

wait that's so funny

#

if you special and then immediately dash

#

zag cancels the animation

#

but still does the special

#

so he just slams it out of nowhere

stone rune
#

but it's like

#

90 bpm

#

from my extraordinarily crude methods

#

and i assume u know about the dash strike holding m1 thing

cosmic thicket
#

ive been trying to get demeters legendary for so long

#

the games just not making things easy for me 😭

latent moon
#

yeah needing two tier twos aren't helping either lmao

#

you need to see her minimum 4 times in order to have a chance at it lmao

latent moon
#

that's incredibly based

tepid plover
cosmic thicket
#

yes 😢😢

#

aspect of hestia my beloved

indigo matrix
#

Just started playing Hades again after putting the game off for two years, its still hella fun

surreal veldt
#

90 runs, 40 clears, 1000 gamerscore and I’m DONE. Basically played nothing but this for a week. What a binge 🤪 see ya’ll for hades 2

thin hatch
#

Just refreshed Hermes' offerings three times, got the same three boons each time, in a different order each time

mint coral
#

Wait did you record that

#

Rerolls usually block 1 of the already on screen boons

thin hatch
#

Oh really? Dang, I didn't

#

Playing on the way to the airport, so I'm not streaming anything

#

The rarities were different, if that counts for anything

#

It was the dodge chance, the recovery dash, and side hustle money one

upper thorn
#

yo, any fun dash builds?

native blade
upper thorn
#

ok thank you

native blade
#

Np.

solemn echo
#

I just finished a run (a run not being the entire game, I died at the area 3 final bossfight)using the rail gun which was definitely interesting
I went in on Aphrodite like I usually do and got lucky and found Zeus, so I got Smoldering Air before the end of the run

fleet lance
#

aphro for rail?

#

for secondary?

solemn echo
#

I just always go aphro

#

I usually use spear

pastel monolith
#

imo, hades gets better the more u play.. like after uve maxed everything and completed storylines etc.. thats when u can rly focus on getting good

solemn echo
#

Ik for rail using the Zeus special Enhancement feels grwat

#

Especially when I got the rail upgrade that lets me shoot three grenades in succession

pastel monolith
#

thats a fun hammer

#

droppin bombs on ya moms

#

lol

solemn echo
#

Yup

#

Also at the beginning I had gotten the armor piercing shots so. . .

hollow violet
#

I love Lucifer with Athena special. I just can't get over how fun it is, especially in Asphodel. "Oh, yes, please throw things at me! See what happens!" 😈

solemn echo
#

Yes I am aware that us only the normal shots. But get rid of their armor then KABOOM

solemn echo
hollow violet
#

Rail

solemn echo
#

Gotcha

#

What does it do?

pastel monolith
#

turn ur gun to a laser

hollow violet
#

It shoots little balls of light as its special. These balls pulse damage until they explode.

solemn echo
#

Oh gosh

hollow violet
#

With Athena, they become barriers.

solemn echo
pastel monolith
#

lucifer special can be rly tricky to get used to.. at least in my experience.. i still cant usualy make it go properly

#

but it can be awesome, especially with the hammer where u can shoot 3 in a row

hollow violet
#

I can find my runs with it and screenshot if you'd like.

solemn echo
pastel monolith
#

i think the auto aim assist option maybe isnt ideal with the lucifer special bc its harder to shoot and trigger the special balls

hollow violet
#

I agree.

#

The laser honestly sucks and is hard to aim at all.

pastel monolith
#

sometimes it rules tho

#

supersoaker build for example

solemn echo
#

Do people use rail gun and basically just use the special most of the time?

hollow violet
#

With Luci, yes.

pastel monolith
#

typical rail mode is
zeus on attack
and somethin chunky like afro or arti on special

solemn echo
#

Gotcha

pastel monolith
#

also general tip if ur using controller.. remap the reload button to anything that doesnt require ur right thumb.. I use left trigger

solemn echo
#

Ye I can understand that

#

Thx for the tip

latent moon
#

Honestly do that with every rail lmao

hollow violet
#

I use a controller

latent moon
#

Ah

#

What range are you shooting at them then

#

Because the auto aim tends to not work at longer ranges from experience

#

Either that or it's the aiming function of like you need to look the direction you wanna shoot

#

I don't have a controller, but I'm assuming it's probably along those lines

hollow violet
#

Honestly, I probably just suck, lol.

pastel monolith
#

lucifer super soaker build is so fun.. its rly great especialy at relatively low heat.. ive never killed the tiny vermin so quickly

#

but its hard to get it going to its full potential even on lower heat

#

and its not exactly like mega damage

#

its just super fun with poseidan on attack, and a a bunch of extra poseidan boons.. if u can throw in sea storm too. omg

pastel monolith
# hollow violet Honestly, I probably just suck, lol.

probably , compared to more experienced players.. but not necessarily for where u are..
anyway.. its best to not compare urself to other players.. just focus on what ur doing and keep playing it will eventually come together

#

ive played like 1000 hrs in hades and i still suck in some ways .. its good bc i know where i need to improve

#

for example em4, im so bad at that 😫 or the charon fight

#

hades is so versatile

#

even guys like vorime.. incredible epic speedrunner legend.. he can do fresh file even.. but hes not good at high heat

#

or haelian for example.. like 3000 hrs in hades.. probably the most popular hades guy.. he can do like 54 heat but hes never done fresh file

#

it feels weird naming names.. im not tryna single ppl out or anything.. just tryin to show how even the best hades players ever have their weak spots and how hades has so many different ways to play

mint coral
#

huh I could've sworn Haelian has done fresh file

latent moon
#

I'm pretty sure he's done fftc but idk about ff

#

Tbf I haven't really tried looking lmao

formal citrus
#

What's fftc

latent moon
#

Fresh file to credits

#

So get 10 wins as fast as possible lmao

#

Fresh file is generally first run

#

Could do 2nd or 3rd run but it's timed by real time, so most try to go for very first run

formal citrus
#

Ah

#

I've done that! My time was a month and a bit I think

pastel monolith
#

its not like vorime couldnt do high heat.. im sure he could.. or haelian cant do fresh file clear im sure he could with enough time..

they just dont rly have interest in it or patience for it

#

i dont wana speak for them but it's something like..vorime thinks high heat is boring . haelian thinks fresh file is too stressful

#

everyone has their style.. even the best hades players we have arent as good as eachother in specific ways

#

for me personally i just make my own little goals.. i did 32 heat with each aspect.. i try to beat my pb igt with each aspect.. im tryna get good with different mirror settings, tryna get good at em 4....

theres so many different goals u can make for urself

#

and always ways to improve

ancient hornet
#

so

#

uh

#

trying to do mods

#

and it says it can't read my save data?

thanks!

#

Im playing on switch and for wretched broker its stuck on the first one as the selection. No matter what way i turn the joystick it doesnt switch selections

#

On what to buy

#

If there was touch screen for the game it would be easier

#

Wait hold on

#

can I set it so the right stick doesnt move on menus

#

Cuz I think thats the problem

#

On my left joycon it has drift but the joystick doesnt even work

lethal bay
#

How is Hestia Rail?

stone rune
#

very good

thin hatch
#

The hidden aspect for rail is very interesting. I like how the hidden aspects change up the whole feel of the weapon

stone rune
#

all rail aspects are good

#

very good

#

super good

#

luci is fun

#

i got a furies pb off of it

#

why does it never embed man

pastel monolith
# lethal bay How is Hestia Rail?

its my best aspect by far. all u need is a good attack boon like artemis or aphrodite. and hopefully some chaos attack %.. maybe ricochet hammer if ur lucky.. remap the reload button to something good.. and just reload and shoot all day.. its kinda boring but its how i got my 43 heat

#

u need some kinda aoe too tho like tidal dash or something.. depending on hammers ur special can do the trick nicely

stone rune
strong prairie
#

I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but I want to gift a friend Hades for their birthday, but cant because of the region difference. Is there a reliable and safe place to buy Hades steam key?

quick tundra
#

Hello I have a question, I have merciful end, ares attack and Athena special, it says any abilities that can deflect activate doom effects, but that doesn’t happen when I tap special on an enemy

quick tundra
#

Like in general

#

Ok

stone rune
#

it just procs immediately instead of the 1.1s, or 1.8 with impending

quick tundra
#

Ohhhhh

stone rune
#

it's very strong if you get divine dash with it

hollow violet
strong prairie
formal citrus
stone rune
#

i need a build to do

hollow violet
#

How about one for the magnet fists? I like Poseidon special. Reel em in, and knock em back!

stone rune
#

ok

stone rune
#

uh, apparently nyaanyaa actually got banned, is there a way we can ask to like undo that or something

gray apex
#

What for

#

Maybe the account got hacked or something

fleet lance
#

chiron, talos

#

rama

stone rune
fleet lance
#

it can work

stone rune
#

for instance on rama

fleet lance
#

athena dash with her secondary

#

that gives a status effect

#

also works

stone rune
#

assuming you have lightning special you’d need jolted and then maybe heartbreak strike to proc it

#

but that’s not permanent

#

and it also doesn’t work on first hit

fleet lance
#

same for poseidon dash with razor shoals

stone rune
#

relying on more t2s is often not festive

#

i understand liking the challenge of trying to build it in but part of the reason it’s a challenge is you have to choose worse options to get it

#

if you want to though and you find it fun don’t let me stop u

stone rune
gray apex
#

Oh they both got banned

stone rune
#

no anemone left recently

#

after claiming that modded is easier than god mode and saying arthur combo had better damage than dedge dash strikes

gray apex
#

Oh they just left

#

Oke

stone rune
#

yea

gray apex
#

Well they overreact at everything and wont take an inch of criticism from people who actually know how to play the game and have thousands of hours

#

Kinda unfair that she got banned but wcyd

stone rune
#

yea i feel like she should be unbanned she was helpful to new players for like 5 years and then got banned because of one person

gray apex
#

It doesn’t look like she’s in the wrong

stone rune
#

yea

tepid plover
#

Oh shis nyaamyaa is gone?

tropic lintel
#

hello, i have a question, what do i need to do to be able to use meg's doll against hades?

gray apex
tropic lintel
#

i alrd gave him like 4-5 nectars and meg is maxed

#

and its been like this for quite some time

tepid plover
#

Just keep going at it

#

Eventually he will let you

brisk trail
#

oh that reminded me something, i couldn't use aphro's call against hades while there were foes around but it didn't work too

fickle crystal
tepid plover
#

Maybe talk with him some more

#

He's just busy, underworld and all that ya know

fickle crystal
#

Yeah it will happen eventually as you keep fighting him more

tepid plover
#

Reminds me how you need nyx for like 90% of the stuff

tropic lintel
brisk trail
#

lmao

tropic lintel
#

am on a streak of 20

#

still nothing

brisk trail
#

i'm strict with my nectars LMAO

tropic lintel
#

ohhh i see

#

oh only had 6 with skelly

#

ty

rancid panther
#

You're welcome

tepid plover
#

Bro I was giving out my nectar to the first person I saw

rancid panther
#

After skelly informed me to not expect anything after the first one, I said.
Well, now nobody gets anything

tepid plover
#

Well skelly also fooled us before

#

Silly skeleton

brisk trail
tepid plover
#

Now only bouldy is worthy of my nectar

rancid panther
#

I just got to that point.
That was a strange interaction

tepid plover
#

I've given more nectar to bouldy than the rest of the cast combined

#

Interesting that's the only currency worth after you're done

#

Would've been cool if the rest had a purpose

#

Gameplay purpose

#

Even if minimal

rancid panther
#

I still have use for all.
except keys, well, I still use to to buy nectar and other stuff

tepid plover
#

I'm in the 4 digits of everything sick_monke

rancid panther
tepid plover
#

I think, if not pretty close

#

Except darkness, which I'm still getting grades

rancid panther
#

I beat redacted a few times, now playing for the rest of the story, after that, heats

tepid plover
#

Enjoy the journey, you'll miss it

#

Man if I could I would delete hades off my brain and play it like it wad the first time

#

No other game has made me feel what this game did

rancid panther
#

I have good news for you.
whispering
hades 2

tepid plover
#

You have no idea how much I can't wait

#

Everyday I come here hoping for news

fleet lance
#

best 20 dollars i spent

tepid plover
#

I do wish I played hades after the release, but I don't think I can't wait with hades 2

fleet lance
#

would be even cooler if they kept releasing more story

rancid panther
#

This was the first game I got myself for switch.
Basically the main reason I got a switch nyaTakemymoney

fleet lance
#

but they'd need to introduce something like ingame currency to keep it profitable

tepid plover
tepid plover
#

Do like an expansion

fleet lance
rancid panther
#

I like radio silence.
Too many times you get exposed to content that will might be spoilers

fleet lance
#

i never liked those games where you have to buy the dlcs

tepid plover
#

Nah, as a roguelike, it'd be better to have more content in one, than half in two

#

Variety is the main selling point of the genre

tepid plover
#

Trading when

fleet lance
#

hades 2

#

!!

#

nah im joking, its still supposed to be single player

brisk trail
#

lmao yea

tepid plover
#

As much as I wanted multi-player, I'm glad they kept it single player tbh

brisk trail
#

i can't wait for my exam to be over so i can play hades all day

rancid panther
#

If the dlc is worth it (witcher 3 for example) I'll gladly pay.

brisk trail
#

withcer 3 dlcs are muah

rancid panther
#

But when content is cut from the game and then sold as dlc, that's when I have a problem

tepid plover
#

Well is the same as buying a whole new game tho, you have the whole game cut

#

It just costs more

#

I'm just saying this as a roguelike player, I'm sure any other way a new game would be better

#

Hades is still a roguelike after all

#

Well lite, but that's another topic

rancid panther
#

This is my third rougelike/lite game so far.
An amazing experience at every step.
Honestly, the only other game that pulled me so much was
RDR2

tepid plover
#

That means red dead right?

rancid panther
#

Yeah.
That game will always have a special place in my heart.
If we talked about forgetting a game and experiencing it for
the first time, rdr2 would be for me.
But hades quickly gets there as well

tepid plover
#

Nyaanyaa did KateSip

solemn echo
#

About to start a new run and I want to put an aspect on the Adamant Railgun. It can be any except Lucifer. Which one is best?

fleet lance
#

hestia

#

but not if you dont have it maxed

solemn echo
#

I do not
this would be my first aspect on it

fleet lance
#

if you're asking about which aspect to start maxing, hestia is the best for the rail

solemn echo
#

Ok ik hestia is a burst shot but what does Eris do? I never got damaged by any of the special blasts

near nymph
#

Theres a cross save option?

rancid panther
# near nymph Theres a cross save option?

#hades-faq

Does Hades support cross-saves between PC and Nintendo Switch?
Yes! Our Cross-Saves feature lets you transfer your Hades PC save data to and from the Nintendo Switch version. It's easy to use, and you can learn more about it from the Switch version's Cross-Saves submenu. Note: The Xbox and PlayStation versions of Hades do not support PC cross-saves like the Nintendo Switch version.

#

There's also cloud saves

How do I get the gun?

#

I just beat meg

gray apex
#

Gun is the last one so you have yo buy everything else first

near nymph
gray apex
#

Do a run

#

And die

#

To reset the courtyard seed

near nymph
#

With the glove?

gray apex
#

With whatever you want, it doesn’t matter. You just have to die in order for the seed to reset.

fleet lance
#

is it possible to get hunting blades when having beowulf?

gray apex
#

No

fleet lance
#

rip

gray apex
#

It would be something

mint coral
#

How long does slicing flare last again

gray apex
#

Like 0.2s

fleet lance
#

i was thinking along the lines of cshot with recharging casts

fleet lance
#

its more like 0.5

gray apex
#

I’m just messing around. Slicing flare isn’t that great, it lasts a very short time compared to Slicing shot.

fleet lance
#

still has great dmg tho

#

suprisingly

gray apex
#

I mean it’s enough bouldy

#

Beowulf can dish out so much more damage

fleet lance
#

i wish there was a mechanic where you could test boons in the skelly room

stone rune
#

slicing flare as loaded cshot fodder

#

except just worse than base cast

stone rune

#

Don't try it with Beowulf 🗿

TIL that you can recall Achilles spear, lol

stone rune
#

the most useful feature ever invented

#

for when you really don't want that mobility and 150% bonus. shout out to sgg

#

it would be kinda cool if it still gave u the buff

#

because that might solve a few awkward styx situations where u cant special because it would put you out of the Good Zone™️

latent moon
stone rune
#

you can get multiple sunken treasures?

latent moon
#

Yeah

solemn echo
#

So
I think I found my favorite weapon
Chiron bow

#

I liked the weapon already and then making your special a single-target HP nuke when you want feels great

#

I even got the Special crit chance bonus from Artemis so I am feasting

native blade
#

It’s nice ta see some Chiron love.

solemn echo
#

Ye I really like it

#

Like dash strike special is very simple and effective and overall I am just really enjoying it

#

Artemis is definitely one of if not the best boon lost for it

#

eSPECIALly the special boon

native blade
solemn echo
#

You fire off. . .
Ten shots?
Each of which having a 20% chance to crit?
Sounds dope

because all that you get from bonds and stuff is a keepsake and from some characters a companion

Because if you did I apologize, Poseidon was another one of the weapon aspects I saw (ik it is sword but still) so I am sorry

#

Heart rend Chiron is one of the better builds for Chiron

#

Urge to kill is worthless

#

It's like a 10% passive lmao

#

On a base 10 arrow

#

You're not getting much mileage out of that

stone rune
#

urge to krill moment

solemn echo
#

Ok

#

Does Heart Rend apply to the special?

stone rune
#

ye

latent moon
#

Why would it not

stone rune
#

heart rend applies to all crits on weak enemies

gray apex
#

Well that’s the point of going for it

latent moon
#

Inflict weak with attack and then have Artemis special

solemn echo
#

Oh
You mean the Artemis Aphrodite duo
Sry I thought you meant the one that just adds extra damage and weak to your normal

stone rune
#

same principle as low tolerance

solemn echo
#

Ye I am hoping to get that duo soon

#

bananas i think i lied to you about the dad call

native blade
stone rune
#

because thaat would be worse

#

starts at 4

native blade
#

Bananas said it was 8 at max level.

stone rune
#

yea

#

because like

#

normal bow has 9

#

and chiron at max has 8

native blade
#

Oh

stone rune
#

i think it used to have 9

#

idk

#

let me see if its in pathc notes

let me consult the wise

#

uh i have a question, ||why my call's against hades isn't working? aphro and artemis didn't work against him but dionysus did||

stone rune
#

weak has significantly shortened duration on bosses

#

but it still exists and at full call will do the 2500

#

also you don’t need to spoiler here

native blade
#

But what about the Artemis call?

stone rune
#

idk should work

#

maybe it tracked to a skull

brisk trail
native blade
#

Ah, that’s just bad timing.

#

oooh

When his heath reaches a certain level he becomes invincible for a bit.

in p2 1/2

tepid plover
#

Nvm he becomes invisible not invincible

#

Got em mixed

stone rune
#

that’s just an attack

tepid plover
#

Consulted the wiki just in case, they might be tripping as well then

"During the first phase, he will disappear and reappear if Zagreus uses a Call, removing all status effects."

stone rune
#

oh

#

hold on

tepid plover
#

My internet won't let me watch that at the moment

#

But was it it during first phase?

#

If so idk then

#

And was it em4? I know em4 changes things a lot

stone rune
#

no

#

some were in p1

tepid plover
#

I dunno then

narrow hemlock
#

wiki is not always accurate since it is community driven and relies on the community to correct errors. idk much about the ganeplay side of things so I couldn't tell you with certainty if that's incorrect or not but like. something to keep in mind

dire tendon
#

or does it only work with like

#

charm

#

and stuff

#

since ive never seen anyone talk about calls causing darkness

tepid plover
#

Idk I never really paid attention to this, since by the time I use call the first phase is over

#

Unless I got that duo

mint coral
latent moon
#

so that might be why

#

but also yeah i'm pretty sure i've had other calls before and he didn't darkness

#

notably, smair

stone rune
#

yea

tepid plover
#

Favorite companion, ima start, shady

fickle crystal
#

Ngl battie is the first one I've unlocked and the only one I've upgraded and used
I've not used anything else so far even though I've unlocked the others

tepid plover
#

I've used every single one once, stuck with shady

#

Too much value imo

#

The hades voiceline always gets a chuckle outta me

#

Was that a blasted boulder from the sky

raw herald
#

Use shady with guan yu lc4 to heal inbetween fights

#

Wait shady is bouldy

tepid plover
#

Shady is the name of the companion

#

And yes, is sisyphus dropping bouldy on top of someone

rotund dagger
#

Ill answer you here better @tepid plover

  1. Brightsword
  • Swordman has an instant frame 0 attack without animation. Suddenly your hp gets reduced XD.
  • He is also the only normal enemy in the game that can get out of the stunlock cycle for no reason.
  • The last problem it has is that when you hit him, there is a chance that he will bounce off the screen for no reason, and he can hit you with no chance of reaction unless you are in dash Iframes.
  1. Longspear
  • When he jumps with the spear to hit you it can happen that he falls in a non-playable area, either water, the void or a bush, in that case the enemy makes retracking and jumps to where the player is, crossing the entire map if necessary to fall on your head. This can happen even in situations where you are not even close to him. This is predictable and controllable once you know how it works, but if it happens and you are not in Iframes, it hits.

Btw those situations are not intentional 100% and happens in every game you play. But is less noticeable if you play range weapons

In No-hit community we have tons of videos of those kind of problems. Just dont let those things happens on the next game becase we love it but is not posible to make no hit challenge since the enemies are not consistent ton Elysium.

tepid plover
#

i just associated those with my skill issue, good to know they are bugs xD

rotund dagger
remote tiger
#

How can I use my companion in Hades fight?

tepid plover
#

keep playing, eventually youll be able to

#

or use shady like me isaac_cool

mint coral
#

If you have bouldy or skelly you can use those while he grants you permission

tepid plover
remote tiger
#

Ah thanks

rancid panther
#

You're welcome

tepid plover
#

like said above, you can use shady or skelly while you get this

remote tiger
#

Also how I get the dialogue with dusa after I've given her all the ambrosia

tepid plover
#

keep talking to her

mint coral
#

Rng

remote tiger
#

Ffs

tepid plover
#

welcome to hades

mint coral
#

I wonder if how the dialogue system works will be changed for hades 2

#

Prob not but at least a bit more priority on this soecific events lol

tepid plover
#

probably not, is a fantastic system tbh, aside from the few issues

remote tiger
#

When will Hades 2 come out

tepid plover
tepid plover
remote tiger
#

I wonder what weapons we'll have

tepid plover
#

their priority system is actually what makes it a problem, you might not want what the priority gives you

mint coral
#

Priority system is funny tho

tepid plover
#

well in most cases, they are just in queue waiting for nyx, shes in charge of like 80% of quests

mint coral
#

Got the talk for escaping the first time with achilles after the credits

tepid plover
#

lel

mint coral
#

Bc you need him for hypnos

tepid plover
#

dont you also need nyx in that one? xD

mint coral
#

Yeah but nyx is a constant at least

#

If you dont have maxed Than yet

#

Have fun if you wanna finish hypnos

tepid plover
#

luckily for me i wasnt rushing to finishing anything at any time, so everything just came naturally

#

awesome experience

mint coral
#

The dialogue for hidden aspects can also be a pain

#

Mainly fists

tepid plover
#

yeah i can see fists being a pain, also luckily for me, by the time fists was released i was done with everything else xD

hollow violet
#

Every weapon was unlocked easily for me, except the shield. It was just a result of playing. (I always go Dark Thirst.) I think I had about 130 runs before I came here and y'all gave me the key to the shield.

tepid plover
#

glad to meet another dark thirst enjoyer

I just beat Alecto with exactly 00:00:01 of spare time on the death clock 33Stressed

btw it doesnt instantly kill you

it takes 5 hp every second you're over time

ohh good to know, still I do find it funny nonetheless

I'm on heat 6 coming back form a long break so sorry for my lack of knowledge

does the rank that you can upgrade in Hades' room give any bonuses besides the badge next to your health?

aigh, thanks!

cosmic thicket
#

why is 32 heat like THE heat that people talk about being difficult or a barrier

stone rune
#

because it's the highest heat to have something tied to it in game

#

and 20 heat is just 0 heat

latent moon
#

also some people jump to 32 heat when their highest is like 10-15 sometimes lmao

#

32 heat is extremely difficult if you take certain pacts too

#

and then at that point there's not really an incentive to go higher than 32 heat unless you want to i guess lmao

#

but most people stop at 32

#

which is why you'd hear a lot about 32 heat and no other heat level i guess

mint coral
#

you also have 25 as the last bounty reward on hell mode

stone rune
#

25 is like 32 but without two of the required secret ingredients

compact dawn
#

Does Hermes count towards the Family Favourite damage bonus?

stone rune
#

yes

#

typically you get 25% FF by the end of a run, 4 god pool + hermes

compact dawn
#

And if I wash away all the boons of a particular Olympian, I'll no longer have their damage bonus

stone rune
#

yea

#

they stay in your pool though

compact dawn
#

Ahhh, that was going to be my next question

#

So, let's say I want to avoid getting Athena boons. In Tartarus, I get 3/4 Olympians for the god pool (including 1 Athena boon I get forced into) then I sell the 1 Athena boon I received at the purging pool... Will Athena stay a part of the 4 god pool? @stone rune

stone rune
#

yea

mint coral
#

Once you pick the boon is set yeah

compact dawn
#

Ooft

stone rune
#

so if you get stuffed into ares he will be taking that slot from an actually good god your whole run

latent moon
#

i mean to be fair, you're generally only looking for 2 gods in your build

stone rune
#

but theres always good supporting gods

#

and ares is the worst supporting god possible

latent moon
#

so leaving tartarus with a 3/4 gods isnt too bad

compact dawn
#

Yeah, I just want to avoid builds that give me Deflect or Impervious abilities at all costs

stone rune
#

wait

#

what

#

why

mint coral
#

Keep in mind you still can add more gods if needed

#

No hit prob

stone rune
#

oh

compact dawn
#

Because I'm practicing for Hitless/Damageless

#

Yeah, what Noob said

stone rune
#

you can use athena in damageless

compact dawn
#

True but I'm doing Hitless + Damageless

stone rune
#

o i see

#

you're not in the hitless server

compact dawn
#

Oops

latent moon
#

i mean only her core boons deflect right

compact dawn
latent moon
#

her supporting boons don't really deflect afaik

#

holy shield relies on getting hit so that doesn't matter lmao

stone rune
#

holy shield

#

thats thed onyl one

mint coral
#

What does damageless include
Chaos/traps/that well item?

latent moon
#

it's a revenge boon

stone rune
#

yeah

compact dawn
stone rune
#

if your health goes below max

#

it is not damagelss

stone rune
compact dawn
#

Oh cool, may I have an invite?

stone rune
#

sure

#

its mostly spanish

#

but they have an english chat

compact dawn
#

Yeah, I notice there's a lot of great Spanish hitless players

#

Like PatoQuackks

latent moon
#

holy shield is kinda based filler for athena if you're doing hitless/damageless

#

it opens up brilliant riposte, which is more filler lmao

#

is divine protection allowed as long as you give up the run as soon as the protective shield disappears

#

or like

#

if the shield never gets procced lmao

stone rune
#

if you dont get hit

#

then u dont get hit

#

i feel like it would be

latent moon
#

but yeah athena kinda sucks as a supporting god for damageless/hitless

stone rune
#

oh wait

#

no

#

you cant

#

Hitless Rules
– No deflect boons. This means you cannot use boons with the deflect mechanic from Athena. However, you’re allowed to pick one if you never activate its effect.
– No dodge chance (dodge%). This includes boons from Hermes, Zagreus keepsakes (Lambent Plume) or Ruthless Reflex skill available in the Mirror of Night.
– No damage nullifiers. Examples would be the Evergreen Acorn keepsake or blocking with the Shield of Chaos.
– No invulnerable calls. Specifically the ones provided by Ares, Athena and Poseidon.
– Taking damage from traps or lava is a hit; taking damage from Chaos gates is not a hit. Since you’re entering Chaos gates by your own account and the damage is not dealt by an actual enemy, it will not be considered a hit.
– Some Chaos boons have specific curses that will cause you to get hit, and as such, triggering them will result in an invalid run.
You should be aware of the following curses:
– Maimed: For the next 3–4 encounters, each time you Attack, get hit for 3–5 Health.
– Flayed: For the next 3–4 encounters, each time you Special, get hit for 3–5 Health.
– Addled: For the next 3–4 encounters, each time you Cast, get hit for 3–5 Health.
You’re allowed to take these boons as long as you never trigger their curse effect.
The Atrophic curse (which causes your life total to be reduced for 3-4 encounters) is not considered a hit.
– Price of Midas, much like Chaos gates, is not considered a hit.
– Staggers out of combat are not a hit.

latent moon
#

oh lmao rip

#

the only useful athena boon is proud bearing

stone rune
#

SMAIR BETTER

latent moon
#

yeah you dont say

compact dawn
latent moon
#

yeah

#

like

stone rune
#

thats for defelct

latent moon
#

you can pick up phalanx shot but just never use it

stone rune
#

dp is a damage nullifier

latent moon
#

or like i guess if it never deflects?

stone rune
#

no

#

you can{t use them

latent moon
#

well that's kinda cringe

stone rune
#

why would u chance ruining the run

#

lmao

latent moon
#

because boiling blood

#

or like

compact dawn
#

Damn it

stone rune
#

i would simply not do that

latent moon
#

big cast hit

latent moon
stone rune
#

huh

#

thats 2 different rules

latent moon
#

okay well

#

as long as it never deflects it's not deflecting (duh)

#

so it should be allowed imo but whatever

topaz cape
#

Kinda sad that my save from ps4 can't be transferred to ps5 but it's nice since I can experience it from scratch again

prime obsidian
#

so uh any tips for reaching the end? I always get hand cramps fighting the big boss

rancid panther
#

Find a good build you like, practice it, don't be greedy.
You have time so no rush to get hits in.
Learn attack patterns

fickle crystal
#

Yep I'd advise getting used to the patterns too

#

It'd get way easier and chill

latent moon
#

Dashes have iframes, any extra damaging input will cut off your iframes so dash strike and empty dash accordingly

rancid panther
#

Using weapons that put some distance between you
and the enemy will help, but not necessary.
I only use stygian so you can do it with melee weapons

fleet lance
#

the crystal beam boon from arty/demeter, hunting blades from ares/arty, mirage shot from poseidon/arty in combination with beowulf/hera

#

these are some of my favourite but there many more good ones

rotund dagger
#

oh wait you are already here XD

rotund dagger
#

but yes, we dont use to play with her on no hit

hollow violet
fleet lance
#

oh i forgot to add

#

you shouldnt be mashing buttons

#

you should try to save your dodges for redacted's attacks and go full in right after his attacks when he is in backswing

#

unless you're using the time limit pact, you should try to take it slow

#

and aim on dodging everything

tepid plover
#

i be accidentally dodging everything isaac_cool

sour fog
#

450+ hours played I still mash buttons

rancid panther
#

When you have 5 dashes...
Now that's a bit crazy

#

The amount of times I ended in lava was, a lot

tepid plover
#

nah i run single dash only

#

i dont like extra dashes

sour fog
#

madness

tepid plover
#

probably the only time i use my reroll is when hermes gives me extra dashes

fleet lance
#

gilga dashes are where its at

stone rune
#

i love when my dashes have weird cooldowns and are shorter

fleet lance
#

gilga dashes with the chaos boon nerf zagluv

Is the daily isaac run ez today?

onyx ledge
#

😮 1,544 darkness from 1 run

void grove
#

i obtained the secret spear aspect and i think its dreadful

stone rune
#

it's good

tepid plover
#

its unfun imo

#

idc about good or bad, it doesnt feel fun to use

stone rune
#

just get cskewer

#

its super fun

tepid plover
#

nah

#

ive tried everything to make it fun, cant click with it

latent moon
#

charged skewer makes it like weird hestia/bow so that's something lmao

#

quick spin kinda eh but can be fun if you like spin

#

other than that there's not much else going for it

stone rune
#

its the best MEspect

latent moon
#

i mean just because that's true doesn't mean it's more fun

onyx ledge
#

man that sucked, like 80% of the boons that run were Dionysus sadcat

formal citrus
#

Getting 80% boons from any God sounds like a good time

dire tendon
#

yeah but when it's dio who's boons have active antisynergy at times...

formal citrus
#

Afterparty is pretty good scaling for fog and for hang over damage. What anti synergy do you mean?

formal citrus
stone rune
#

it's not fists and it's not ME sword

#

therefore best MEspect

formal citrus
#

I do not follow

stone rune
#

uh

#

its the best aspct you do merciful end on

formal citrus
#

I assume ME is merciful end

#

Right cool understand the statement, why is it the best for merciful end?

#

Is attack doom and special and dash deflect, like usual?

#

Are you sending out dooming spins and chucking deflecting flourishes through them?

stone rune
#

that would suck

#

it just like

#
  1. actually deals damage before you get the boon
#
  1. is fun
stone rune
mint coral
#

(also why peer pressure is so bad)

#

you really only want 1 hangover source at any moment

stone rune
#

theres only 1 lots of dio build that might be kinda decent

#

i think

#

and it would be like

#

dio atk dem special ice wine eris

#

otherwise you only rlly want 2 boons

#

the core

#

and the low tolerance

formal citrus
mint coral
#

charged skewer

formal citrus
#

I am still confused on what the game play loop to trigger ME is on guan yu that is the best.

stone rune
#

special -> dash strike x2

formal citrus
#

Because alternating between moves is faster than spamming one move over and over?

stone rune
#

well like

#

the special scales less good

#

it'll stop doing superb damage in ely

#

you need something supplemental

#

because it's basically a lower damage hestia that you have to charge but it pierces and has mad aoe

#

and hestia scales into ely with the funny hammer

#

which GY doesnt have

formal citrus
stone rune
#

but also yeah

#

its just mroe dps

mint coral
stone rune
#

to special -> dstrike x2

formal citrus
#

So what makes it the best is that is has a good thing to do between the ME dash strikes?

stone rune
#

because it's fun

#

im pretty sure its not actually the best

#

just way more fun than having to play a fists tart

mint coral
#

it's a similar argument to why use dem fists too lol
some dmg before ME

formal citrus
#

Ah

dire tendon
latent moon
#

also charged skewer helps the damage a lot before ME is online

formal citrus
#

Does anyone actually use the special to trigger ME (maybe before the dash is gotten)?

dire tendon
#

probably, as you said, before the dash is gotten

#

also can you use GY spin as zeus lite

#

to spam proc ME with spec and dash

latent moon
#

zeus shield doesn't need ddash for ME to work

#

with sword, your standard special -> 2x dash strikes -> repeat can proc ME

#

although the insta-drop doesn't really matter other than the bonus 40 damage i guess lmao

stone rune
#

i would simply not do that

latent moon
#

because the time for a dash strike, special, and then another dash strike is kinda long

#

prob more than a sec

#

or even 1.5 sec

stone rune
#

i mean

#

first off

#

you do 2 of them

latent moon
#

yeah

stone rune
#

you wouldnt get 2 procs off a rotation

latent moon
#

i never said you would

stone rune
#

and second off you dont get the impending bonus

#

wait

latent moon
#

you'd get a proc after your dash strike because of the special

stone rune
#

oh

#

i see

#

this is dashless

latent moon
stone rune
#

im illiterate

onyx ledge
latent moon
#

I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't be? I'm not a dev so I can't promise anything though

stone rune
#

dawg

latent moon
#

as long as it can get steam i'd assume it'd work

#

is that how that works lmao

stone rune
#

if they dont release it on mac i will send you 5 quadrillion dollars

rough token
#

they have a statement about platforms in the #hades2-faq , and I'd also suggest having discussion about it in #h2-discussion instead of here ^.^

stone rune
#

man

#

im gonna get so many sub6s this summer

#

like

#

at least 1

#

i rlly wanna sub6 nem

#

also i submitted my nem run

#

so somebody gets to watch my divine resolution

#

i think if cgull reviews it hed just decline it

latent moon
stone rune
#

and make a rule "you cant play in that ratio"

latent moon
#

i can't play the game longer than like 1.5 hours because i just get burnt out

stone rune
#

i mean

#

i play for like

latent moon
#

esp if most of it is resetting

stone rune
#

30 minutes at a time

#

except if im going for a Session

#

although

#

that might also be circumstance

latent moon
#

i figured if you're gonna try for a sub6 you'd have to put in a lot more than an hour a day lol

stone rune
#

because like

#

its kinda finals week

latent moon
#

i mean yeah after finals you can grind

stone rune
#

mine end tmr

latent moon
#

but that's a lot of grinding

onyx ledge
#

I've put in 41 hours in the last 3 days pcmrlol

stone rune
#

except the worst one is also tomorrow

latent moon
#

and also same on that last one lmao

stone rune
#

i got the calc 2 inal

#

if i get a 93 or higher on it im fine

latent moon
#

maybe not that much but a lot more than i do now

stone rune
#

yea i did

latent moon
#

oh yeah gl getting a seed for your sub6s lmao

#

getting shafted by bad rooms and boons is literally the biggest thing blocking low times at this point tbh

#

and also ely

stone rune
#

i mean

#

i also suck

latent moon
#

well for sub6 it's mostly rooms at that point

stone rune
#

so

#

unsucking will probably be more important

latent moon
#

skill > rng only matters until like say sub7 or 8

#

sub6 needs good rooms lmao

stone rune
#

well i still have to be decent to get the sub6

latent moon
#

i mean yeah

stone rune
#

im pretty sure that 630 i got would have been sub6 if i played it today

latent moon
#

but gl getting the rooms lmao

stone rune
#

ill just reset at the sight of a single bad enemy

#

whats the latest youve ever resat

latent moon
#

i'm pretty sure the 5:32 i got should've been a 6:xx if i had to play another aspho room lmfao

stone rune
#

did u not have hammer or something

latent moon
#

or like an ely room

latent moon
stone rune
#

i mean

latent moon
#

i just suck at aspho

stone rune
#

even a c22 is hard to be that bad

#

on beo

#

with hammer

latent moon
#

c22 big boi room

#

the uh

#

idk room names

#

the one with islands

stone rune
#

triple donut

#

oh

#

that one sucks

latent moon
#

or triple donut yeah

stone rune
#

but it's less cope

#

because you have a hope of clearing it

#

just go up

#

i got triple donut in my pb

latent moon
#

i've had aspho rooms take like 15-20 secs

stone rune
#

i thought i did it awful and then in the vod review nnevic said i did it perfect

#

oh damn

latent moon
#

i should get my 5:32 reviewed lmao

stone rune
#

i had c22 triple donut

#

it was like a two waver with like 5 enemies though

#

so yea

latent moon
#

oh yeah that's pretty clean

#

but like if that was witches

#

that's an easy like

stone rune
#

i would have just reset lol

latent moon
#

15-20 seconds minimum

stone rune
#

the times not that good

#

i didnt even have the green boon

latent moon
#

well you might've gotten it endshop

#

also rare rd

#

so like

onyx ledge
#

so do you basically need insane luck to get a time that low

latent moon
#

i'd see if i could get it at the end before lernie

#

and then reset if i dont

#

or play it out because blue rd

latent moon
#

room and enemy rng are more important than skill at a certain point

stone rune
#

well

#

you still have to be good

latent moon
#

i mean yeah ofc

stone rune
#

its not like u can just suck and sub5

#

theres no seed that cracked

latent moon
#

my point still stands tho lol

#

yeah ofc you need to be good

#

but like

#

sub6 needs a lot better room/enemy rng than a sub7

stone rune
#

or being ocke

latent moon
#

or ocke yeah

#

i mean if it's beo it's more lenient on the skill i guess

stone rune
#

dawg what was i doing

latent moon
#

if it's hera or achilles then you'd need more skill

stone rune
#

thats like 3 seconds of time save

#

i do that twice in ely whatttt

latent moon
#

beo needs vague aim, hera and achilles are more precise

stone rune
#

could have been 521 if i wasnt garbo

stone rune
#

thats kinda only kbm

latent moon
#

that's true

stone rune
#

le 180 degree autoaim

latent moon
#

if my tart wasn't 2 minutes that would've been nice lmfao

stone rune
#

WHAT

latent moon
#

what

#

i thought this was established

stone rune
#

were you actually going for sub6

latent moon
#

whenever i pick up beo i try for sub6 lol

stone rune
#

why did u nto reset.......\

latent moon
#

left tart with funny green boon

#

wanted to see how far i could go

#

also warm up run

stone rune
#

oh

latent moon
#

it was my first run of the day lol

stone rune
#

i didnt even have arty

#

i think i had sprint

latent moon
#

i think i also had sprint

#

it was like a c10 arty

#

funny green boon in endshop

stone rune
#

oh good urine it's 9 pm

latent moon
#

stone rune
#

latent moon
#
