#

just talk to some people more and eventually you should be able to I can’t remember exactly how

sour fog
#

you haven't revealed his name yet, you have to check his codex entry

#

or talk to him while you have keepsake from achilles equipped

spring rain
autumn rose
#

currently have Slicing Shot, Blade Dash and Ares' Aid with:
Quick Favor
Flurry Cast
Black Metal
Engulfing Vortex
Hunting Blades
Vicous Cycle

#

It's beautiful shadegrief

spring rain
#

Patroclus didn't show in my run and now I'm with this useless achilles item for no reason

#

:)

#

i play hades on switch, is getting it on pc worth it

stone rune
#

yea

hybrid hedge
# stone rune yea

hybrid hedge

just whatever you like

latent moon
hybrid hedge
latent moon
#

there's also the speedrun modpack, which is neat

#

apollo and hestia

hybrid hedge
#

Sick

#

are there like new weapon mods?

latent moon
latent moon
#

there's one that combines all aspects of a weapon into 1

hybrid hedge
latent moon
#

another gives you old chaos shield back, which makes it better

hybrid hedge
#

old chaos sheild?

latent moon
#

yeah i'm pretty sure data can transfer

#

idk how it works but i heard it's possible

latent moon
#

shoots in a star pattern rather than in front

#

might be some other smaller things but idrk, i didn't play early access

#

the star pattern made chaos good from what i heard, now it's kinda bad lmao

#

"bad" in the sense that the gimmick sucks, it's still good because it's a shield

hybrid hedge
#

cool

#

after beating the game with every weapons best aspect. sheild definitely feels the best

#

not cause of dps, but being able to throwout aspect of zues then just block all damage

autumn rose
#

chain shot or twin shot for aspect of rama

latent moon
#

twin shot

#

easily

stone rune
#

twin is best rama hammer

latent moon
stone rune
#

triple also is good but is generally less consistent

hybrid hedge
hybrid hedge
latent moon
latent moon
untold crown
#

yeah twin shot is the best hammer by far

hybrid hedge
#

whats the best special boon for aspect of zeus?

hybrid hedge
untold crown
#

I meant on the bow

main talon
hybrid hedge
#

hazard bomb best hammer

latent moon
hybrid hedge
latent moon
untold crown
#

and as far as the rail goes I obviously want clockets or triple bomb if it's lucifer

latent moon
#

zag/rama hammers are mostly identical tho

hybrid hedge
untold crown
#

but hazard bomb is the next best

hybrid hedge
#

hazard bomb + artemis

#

best build

latent moon
#

but zeus^2 is generally more consistent

hybrid hedge
latent moon
#

zeus special on zeus shield

hybrid hedge
#

thats silly

latent moon
#

it's good damage lmao

#

used to clear 64 heat

hybrid hedge
#

I meant name was silly

latent moon
#

oh lmao

untold crown
hybrid hedge
#

also big damage

latent moon
#

beo has bigger number

#

funny mirage bug

hybrid hedge
#

what weapon is beo and what it do

latent moon
#

hidden shield

#

basically hera but the cast explodes whenever you charge

hybrid hedge
#

i like that

latent moon
#

mirage shot is bugged on it so that it does 100% instead of 30%

hybrid hedge
#

i like

latent moon
#

well mirage shot is bugged on all flares, so it extends to trippy flare on hera

hybrid hedge
#

how do i get beo sheild

latent moon
hybrid hedge
latent moon
#

beo casts are unique and they're called flares

#

with normal casts, you throw them and they hit and do their effect or whatever

#

on beowulf, at the end of your rush the cast explodes around you

#

they dont shoot out of you, so they're called flares

hybrid hedge
#

aight

#

so does the bug work on hera aswell then?

untold crown
#

beo has 100% mirage shot damage bug and a bug where trippy does way more damage than advertised when you pom it

latent moon
#

hera gets trippy flare instead of trippy shot because trippy shot you kinda just lob it at enemies, but if you're shooting it out of an arrow it doesn't really make sense so it just explodes on impact

latent moon
hybrid hedge
#

so is dio cast better than aphro for hera bow

latent moon
#

nope

#

dio cast stays on the ground for too long

#

you have to use stygian soul for the regen cast and get more casts from chaos

#

a lot less reliable

hybrid hedge
#

aight

latent moon
#

same thing with beowulf, you still want to use poseidon/aphrodite cast instead of dio because of that same reason

untold crown
#

pommed up trippy flare on beo with ice wine and/or scintillating feast is very fun even though it's not as good as flood technically

latent moon
#

oh yeah for sure

#

if you want to run trippy beo then go for it, just don't expect it to always go to plan

#

i've had quite a few good trippy beo runs

spring rain
#

guys if you unnequip a item mid run

#

if can you equip it again later?

untold crown
#

nope

mint coral
spring rain
#

lame

#

imma just reset the run lmao

ionic hemlock
#

Also, this is specific to than/Hermes keepsakes, but do you keep the buffs you get from them if you unequip it later in the run?

latent moon
#

nope

#

boosts begone

ionic hemlock
#

N o o o o o o o o

spring rain
#

both sound amazing

ionic hemlock
#

Where are you

spring rain
#

right at the start

stone rune
latent moon
#

strong drink then

spring rain
#

okay thank yoou

stone rune
#

after party is a nothing boon

latent moon
#

after party is funny for taking -hp per atk/cast/special curses tho lmao

ionic hemlock
#

Oh yeah

latent moon
#

that's the only time i've found it useful

ionic hemlock
#

Never thought of that

stone rune
#

i just take the dd loss

latent moon
#

skill issue

#

after party is still an unpommable so it's not like horrible

stone rune
#

yeah

latent moon
#

granted it wont give you the free % boost but it's fine

stone rune
#

for some reason positive outlook is pommable though

#

why

latent moon
#

yeah lmao kinda cringe

spring rain
#

Theseus and Asterious are dating and no one can convince me they're not.

autumn rose
#

They're not

#

Anywho

spring rain
#

they do be dating

autumn rose
#

If I punishing sweep some boyos for the 150% damage buff if I have a zeus lightning bolt does the bolt itself get that damage buff or is it only the hit with the spear

autumn rose
#

😵‍💫

#

Okay:(

mint coral
#

if it specifies attack/special/cast then only the base effect is buffed

#

if it says "do X% more dmg" or "enemy takes more dmg" those will buff extra effects like zeus/ares/hangover/etc

autumn rose
#

okii tysm

rough breach
#

Alright em4 attempt 2 i have modified my strategy

#

Hera run with the funny beam and abyssal blood lets see if it works out

mint coral
#

what's abyssal blood doing there

rough breach
#

To assist in my cowardly avoidance

mint coral
#

you are using beams

#

you can't lodge

rough breach
#

Well good thinf i didnt pick up beam yet

#

Better idea, aim for anything else but still get chill effect boons

mint coral
#

grab aphro cast and get snow burst from dem

#

or if you rlly wanna play it safe, athena cast

#

just don't throw it out of bounds

hybrid hedge
#

i just accidentally got aspect of rama lmfao, how do i use it well?

mint coral
#

tag everything in the room with special, and power shot through a bunch of enemies

hybrid hedge
#

aight

#

what are the best boons and hammers

rough breach
#

Anything that hits more things iihtg

mint coral
#

explosive is more of a meme

hybrid hedge
#

aight

mint coral
#

if you pick it say goodbye to power shotting

rough breach
#

I wonder if artemis cast does crits for hera

hybrid hedge
mint coral
#

wait a bit

#

A beefy % attack, Aphro is very good (ideally not common), or you can go for Artemis because crits, any high rarity % attack can do except Poseidon (avoid that one), for the Special you want flat damage, it's not hard to come by, usually not worth forcing tho, Ares Dio Zeus are the main ones, you can go for Demeter and try to get Killing freeze, it can work pretty well, for the Dash there arent many options because most of them are either anti-synergy or just dont do anything, Artemis however is probably the best in slot dash, because Rama relies on dash strikes and getting dash strike damage is just good, Athena is a good one too because deflecting is nice, another important thing for Rama is hammers, ideally you want Triple Shot or Twin Shot for your first hammer, if not offered you can go for Perfect or Point Blank, and for the second hammer you usually want Perfect or Point Blank (assuming Triple or Twin first) but the order can be the other way here, if you get Perfect Shot as first hammer then it's fine too, hammers to avoid are Sniper shot (blocks Twins shot) and also doesnt do anything, and Repulse shot, Explosive is a bit of an odd one, it's nice in some scenarios but hard to play, Chain shot is okay, wont do much in bosses. Rama is difficult and needs practice but it's really good when it comes to heat especially, it's a good idea to watch vods of people who are good at it and try to implement their movement and decision making in your runs

#

credits to Mike for the guide

rough breach
#

Does switching to a new god charm midrun guarantee them

rough breach
#

Nice i have aphro cast

autumn rose
#

hey guys
if i sell flood shot

#

will blizzard shot still work

#

:)

mint coral
#

no

autumn rose
#

:(

rough breach
#

Borrowable money right before patroclus event you know what that mwans :)

latent moon
#

yo wont be killing anything and the casts will get stuck unless you one shot with crits

latent moon
#

the exit of the charon fight doesn't guarantee you the exit you see on the current doors

#

especially story rooms since those can only appear once in a run

#

so if you skip it you'll never see it again that run

rough breach
#

Ooh yea

#

Well i mean my build shredded charon and i only took one hit so

#

Nice

#

Got parting shot im so winning this

ionic hemlock
#

I somehow beat heroes 20 heat without using DD

#

Acorn or tooth for hades

latent moon
#

acorn

ionic hemlock
#

K

#

Purge epic Artemis aid or sweet nectar

latent moon
#

prob sweet nectar at this point

#

you're going into styx and prob dont need any more poms

ionic hemlock
#

Sure

#

Shame the coin is mostly useless

#

Of course

#

A +2 Pom in styx

latent moon
#

i mean it's fine lmao

#

sweet nectar gave you the money to buy it

#

if you think about it that way

rough breach
#

I swear every time i equip the hourglass i get no wells in any paths

latent moon
#

into styx?

#

yeah i hardly ever seen wells in styx in general

#

granted i have guaranteed 2 sack, but even so i've hardly ever many lmao

ionic hemlock
#

I DID IT

#

Shield is over

rough breach
#

Em4 complete

#

That was cruel

hybrid hedge
#

is hidden spear good? it feels absolutely horris

stone rune
#

but you need a specific hammer

hybrid hedge
#

what hmer

stone rune
#

charged skewer

hybrid hedge
#

ok!

hybrid hedge
#

best weapon and worst weapon in ghaeme?

latent moon
#

weapons is a bit more broad, it's generally divided into top half and bottom half

#

in no particular order
top half is bow, rail, and shield
bottom half is fists, sword, and spear

hybrid hedge
#

i htae sword

#

it feels so bad

latent moon
#

the optimal damage rotation is special -> 2x dash strikes -> repeat

#

it feels less awkward that way

#

but still has pretty sad damage output lmao

#

you either run ME or a crit build on nemesis with double edge

hybrid hedge
#

is nemesis best aspecxt

latent moon
#

for sword yeah

#

crits are pretty strong in this game and because of the optimal damage rotation, you always have a 30% crit chance on the attack

hybrid hedge
#

wis beo wulf best shield

latent moon
#

yeah

hybrid hedge
#

epic

#

are any other hiddens good?

latent moon
#

rama

#

luci is pretty good if you get triple bomb

#

same with guan yu and charged skewer except it needs the hammer a lot more

#

arthur is pretty player dependent, some hate it some love it

stone rune
#

gilga is gilga

latent moon
#

arthur is pretty okay tho, not really bad but also not that outstanding

#

and yeah gilga is pretty bad lmao

formal citrus
#

Isn't there an argument for Zeus best shield of trying to not account for personal preference

#

64 heat and all

stone rune
#

eh

latent moon
#

i forgot what amb said

#

but beo still handles extremely high heat pretty well until you turn on routine inspection

#

zeus is still good tho ofc

stone rune
latent moon
#

yeah pretty much

#

dc1 isn't too bad tbf

#

dc2 is kinda hell

stone rune
#

also its crazy how little damage zagbow does

latent moon
#

ri1 isn't too bad either

#

ri2 removes pstatus so there goes your damage

stone rune
#

but also how much chaos i get on every run i do with it

latent moon
#

ri3 is no casts so beo dies

latent moon
#

tdash is carrying a lot of the work tbh

#

i think i had a run where i didn't get a hammer until ely

#

and i had another where i had flurry start and i swear it was just tdash doing the majority of the damage

stone rune
#

the attack eventually became fat

#

oh and it took 7 arty screens to get attack

latent moon
#

with enough chaos lmao

#

incredibly based

#

oh zag bow is aotw that's why you played it lmao

#

i'll give it a shot later tonight i guess

stone rune
#

i got my sub8 im done

#

also its not eligible cause it was first run i did lmfao

#

oh nvm it wasn’t

#

wait

#

i didnt stop the recording

latent moon
#

Based

#

If I get a sub9 I might call it a day lmao

#

My aim sucks too much to try for a sub8 bow

#

Sword unironically easier than bow for me

#

Bow might actually be my worst weapon for speed lmao

stone rune
#

rama pretty simple

latent moon
#

i'm still bad at aiming

brisk trail
#

could thy get a steam code

#

i have bought it already on switch

main talon
#

fiery presence on hestia is great

night mountain
#

where do I post a question about a spolier related prophecy?

night mountain
#

ok so I'm currently doing the ||queens plan|| prophecy and I need to 'grow closer' with more Olympians - only problem with that is I already have friendship at max with all the olympians but I can't progress the quest. I might be missing something but idk what it could be at this point

night mountain
night mountain
gray apex
#

Probably some dialogue/rng

night mountain
#

ah ok

#

Idm anyway its fun to grind, just making sure I haven't soft locked myself out of this quest unless it was a common issue haha

#

ty for the help <3

gray apex
#

Nah you cant softlock yourself. But sometimes the dialogue rng doesnt cooperate. I think you only need to gift 7 gods ambrosia (or for Demeter just get to her locked heart) and that should be it, the rest is dialogue.

white path
#

my 3rd boon is a duo lol

young moth
#

I keep skipping Aphrodite’s dialogue because my parents are in the room 😭😭😭

uneven cloak
#

Seems like beating Hades the first time is the big wall since you can get a ton of Titan Blood from just beating the Furies from different aspects?

stone rune
#

yea

#

well

#

different weapons

uneven cloak
#

Before first clearing, it was only per arms. Once heat is unlocked, each aspect can now get their own boss drops

#

Right?

#

Or am I getting it wrong?

stone rune
#

no

#

it's still per weapon

#

but you can do each weapon 20 times

formal citrus
#

Beating that heat is still a limiting factor, but if you can beat 0 heat you can probably beatt 1 heat

stone rune
#

20 heat is basically 0, hl1 lc1 em2 bp2 mm uc td3

autumn rose
#

honestly

#

wq5 fi8 wi4 pm5 ah7 xh0 ai5 si6 🙏

ionic hemlock
#

LC1, JS2, CF2, EM3, MM, UC, BP2 was my sheild 20

spring rain
hybrid hedge
#

is aspect of beowulf better than zeus

stone rune
#

yea

formal citrus
ionic hemlock
#

I use dark regen

formal citrus
#

Ah

formal citrus
stone rune
#

no js no cp

#

no ap/ri

#

the only thing that could possibly stretch it would be bp2

#

but like

#

thats only maybe 3 rooms that are actually bad

hybrid hedge
stone rune
#

it's definitely not chess notation

autumn rose
#

its a joke

stone rune
#

hey can you move my w piece to q5

formal citrus
#

I don't think I'm alone having my first clear take like 40 min

stone rune
#

well yeah

#

but your first clear isn't the clear where you're doing your 20th bounty

formal citrus
#

Right, cause there's a difference

#

Between doing 0 and 20

stone rune
#

not rlly

#

there's a difference between your skill level when you're doing 0 and your skill level when doing 20

#

and your build making ability

#

so there's theoretically a difference for your first few clears afterwards

#

but once you get like 10 or 20 clears they become identical

#

other than sometimes getting annoying bp combos

#

which wont rlly kill u anyways

red elbow
#

how much total darkness is needed to completely max out the mirror

stone rune
#

depends

#

do you want to max just the important options

red elbow
#

every skill

stone rune
#

or do you also want the useless ones

#

35365

#

you can lose 11000 off that by not doing fated authority

stone rune
#

another 2000 by not doing olympian favor

#

another 550 by not doing privileged status

#

300 by not doing abyssal blood

#

90 by not doing dark regen

#

75 by not doing ruthless reflex

#

so it's more like

#

21900

#

a lot of that is from fated persuasion

#

but you also kinda need that

#

if you just wanna get 2 dice it's 14900

#

3 dice 17900

#

you can also ditch legacy if you're real desperate which would make it 2500 lighter

autumn rose
#

if i put swift flourish on zeus shield will ghe damage tick faster

stone rune
#

p sure it's just throw out time

#

like time it takes to shoot it

still python
#

how do you use hangover it just feels so useless whenever i use it

#

apart from call

stone rune
#

you need to pom it a lot

still python
#

a lot?

stone rune
#

yea

still python
#

doom just seems so much better

stone rune
#

well

#

doom needs ME

#

hangover doesnt

#

hangover is mostly a high heat thing

#

because you just need to pom it

#

without relying on many other boons

main talon
#

I now have every weapon aspect

stone rune
#

i still dont on my personal save

#

never got hades or gilga

main talon
#

Ok

stone rune

what do u have maxed

Hestia

HESTIA BEST ASPECT 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪

and zag sword cus skelly was being a bit of a troll

mint coral

it was funny

main talon
#

It was admittedly pretty funny

#

I also now have every keepsake

#

which is cool

#

speaking of which what was the first keepsake yall got?

mint coral
#

I'm gonna guess either coin purse or cerb's collar

main talon
#

I believe mine was bone hourglass

mint coral
#

Charon was my first bond instead

stone rune
#

yeah me too

#

charon was my first max heart as well

main talon
#

Mine was dusa

autumn rose
#

Mine was Poseidon lol

main talon
#

broseidon

autumn rose
#

zeus aspect was fun af ngl

mint coral
#

it is

autumn rose
#

tho i did manage to get 4 zeus boons before asphodel so i probably won't always be that lucky

ionic hemlock
#

Recently I’ve been getting barely any boons at all, and the game decides to make my rng even worse when UC is active

autumn rose
#

what's best weapon for merciful end

stone rune
#

well

#

sword you can do it well

#

spear you can do it wellish

#

fists is like the primary one

spring rain
#

I beat the game for the 5th time now!!!!

#

also I love dusa with every cell of my body fr fr

latent moon
formal citrus
#

I accidentally got Lucifer merciful end once. Was pretty effective esp with the doom stacker

autumn rose
#

lol that sounds wild

latent moon
#

I think that was more doom stacking rather than ME lmao

languid ruin
#

Lucifer merciful end ?

hybrid hedge
#

how do i easily unlock beowulf

formal citrus
#

Tbf I guess it's not unlikely when I like anthena balls so much

sharp stone
#

Any time I play Hades, I'm compelled to have a thesaurus (not him theseus) nearby because at any moment, the narrator could just use those long fancy words I didn't learn

#

Like a codex of my own has been expanded

red elbow
#

why do i find beowulf dash so underwhelming

stone rune
#

what

red elbow
#

it feels tedious to use

stone rune
#

beowulf dash

red elbow
#

beowulf cast

stone rune
#

u dont have enough damage then

red elbow
#

whats a good shield dash attack build

stone rune
#

uh

#

there is no shield dash attack build

red elbow
#

damn

stone rune
#

the zag/chaos shield build is called getting cshot

latent moon
stone rune
#

its basically just dash strike into rush

latent moon
#

"relatively novice beo gp" sends a sub6

stone rune
#

there are like 1500 sub6s

latent moon
#

that doesnt make you a novice

#

at all

red elbow
#

sudden rush feels like a must have on beowulf to me

stone rune
#

cshot is better

#

sudden rush is like a bandaid on the gaping hole that is no cshot

latent moon
stone rune
#

well yeah but the average playtime is probably like 10 hours

latent moon
#

does that matter?

stone rune
#

in terms of people who actually play the game im probably bottom 25%

latent moon
#

give yourself more credit than you think lmao

#

bottom 25% is a bold statement for someone who has a 5:27

stone rune
#

you see the guy who churns out the sub7s every aotw

#

no matter what aspect

latent moon
#

1 person

stone rune
#

thats wya more impressive

uneven cloak
#

Never underestimate how many casuals play the game

latent moon
stone rune
#

there are like 10 sub5 s

latent moon
#

okay and

uneven cloak
#

10 people at best better than you

stone rune
#

also the gp in the 550 is way better than in my pb

latent moon
stone rune
#

pb was basically just gacha gaming

latent moon
#

i'd say at most there's 75 people better than you lmao

uneven cloak
latent moon
#

like unironically if you just take the active speedcord members + high heat players you're still in the top 5% guaranteed

#

calling yourself a bottom 25% doesn't make sense at all lmao

stone rune
#

im not rlly that good though i only play like 4 aspects

uneven cloak
#

By joining a Hades discord, you're already top 25% just from filtering casual players

latent moon
#

you still have good game sense

stone rune
#

and im only passable at 1

latent moon
#

"passable"

#

you have like 4 sub8s or something

stone rune
#

and its the easy one

latent moon
#

and if you wanted to you could probably do all aspects sub8 pretty easily

stone rune
#

im trying but i realized i have all of the easy ones

#

i have to play like

#

zagspear

latent moon
#

also getting a sub10 is above average lmao

stone rune
#

and gilga

#

you would not believe how many aspects there are

#

24

red elbow
#

shiiiiiit i spent hours trying to get beowulf to realize its too slow for my playstyle

stone rune
#

i mean thats just too many

latent moon
#

i mean that's fine

#

but you need to stop underselling your skill level lmao

stone rune
#

could have gone without like 10 of them at least

latent moon
#

you need to start recognizing that you're leagues better than the average player

latent moon
#

dash strike into the dragon rush

#

that should help a bit

#

getting charged shot is a god send

#

sudden rush is decent cope

stone rune
#

fero guard 3rd for first hammer

#

otherwise rip

red elbow
#

how does the beowulf explosion work on charged shot

stone rune
#

goes where the cshot goes

latent moon
#

end of the cshot

stone rune
#

shrimple

latent moon
#

basically hera bow

#

but bigger

stone rune
#

and more damage

red elbow
#

do the stones spawn at the end of the shot

latent moon
#

yeah

#

you kinda want to do low-mid charge shots

stone rune
#

usually min

latent moon
#

you also ideally just blow up the enemy with the casts so you're not in danger while picking them up

red elbow
#

I see

stone rune
#

and get buff from wells

red elbow
#

giving up a run doesnt save any resources you collected on that run right

stone rune
#

yea

#

and keeps ur seed

red elbow
#

yea i figured and started killing myself instead

#

in lava

tranquil dawn
#

Does Nyx give the Arthur blade?

uneven cloak
#

Am I overselling Boiling Blood's value against bosses? It's making me not get Dio, Deme, Ares' cast boons.

latent moon
stone rune
tranquil dawn
#

Ok Ty

stone rune
#

dem cast is useless

#

dio cast is situational and requires good build sense

latent moon
#

small depending on aspect

uneven cloak

+50% dmg just from lodging a cast is huge for me

stone rune
#

ares cast is good if u get hunting blades and additive

latent moon
#

sometimes it's pretty big like on hestia or something

red elbow
#

gon try merciless fist i heard its a good dash attack build or something

latent moon
#

but it's just free damage lmao

latent moon
red elbow
#

excellent

stone rune
#

every build is a dash attack build if you just mean doing dash attacks

latent moon
#

very boon hungry and you might not get it going lmao

#

you need 4/5 of the necessary boons to make it usable

#

the 5th boon you kinda want for bigger damage

stone rune

#

I'm still new to Hades but its nice seeing where it got its elements from past works. Concentrating Bastion's many weapons into just 6 arms (some being integrated as normal-altering hammer boons). And the multiple boon applications coming from Transistor's extensive way of applying the same boon into either attack, special, dash, call, cast, passive, etc.

stone rune
#

the other ones didnt enthrall me

hybrid hedge
#

how do i make Lucifer good, same question for beowulf

latent moon
#

lucifer is zeus attack, some % modifier on the special that isn't poseidon, poseidon dash, and triple bomb hamer

#

the dash is a bit flexible, you just want to be able to proc the special bombs with it

#

triple bomb is pretty important for dps tho

red elbow
#

does unlocking aspects with titan blood count towards the 5 titan blood requisite or do they have to be upgrades

latent moon
#

for beowulf, start poseidon cast, find artemis attack/special/call, get mirage shot, and win
find charged shot hammer ideally, sudden rush can work as cope

#

mirage shot is bugged to deal 100% instead of 30%

latent moon
red elbow
#

i hope so

latent moon
#

because that counts as investing titan blood

red elbow
#

ye

chilly jasper
#

aspect of lucifer is so much fun

#

but im confused about how the orb things work

#

sometimes they explode and sometimes they dont

stone rune
#

you have to hit them

chilly jasper
#

is there a titan blood farming strategy. or just do heat

#

Trade

or 1200 with Chiron in Styx

#

takes luck though

since he sells all boss drops

33%?

I have yet to see him sell Ambrosia

Is armour damage good?

uneven cloak
#

if you got no other good choices

it's always good to remove armor asap so they can be staggered and bullied easier

I like armour damage especially for Elysium

Why has the terms changed on the pact for me
With Aegis, Exagryth and Malphon it says bounties still available at 0 expect none beyond this choose conditions at ur discretion

No wonder some topics I read mentioned it to be the true endgame resource

#

to the point that older players mentioned never to trade it

I traded it a bunch to max aspects

Nbd if you do

uneven cloak
#

Can I just pick a Fated boon then sell it afterwards?

#

does it still tag it as done?

sour fog
#

yes

#

I finally got the mother of all Eris runs!

#

Cluster + Rocket!

#

It's not bad getting Rocket first

#

I kinda like the in-your-face application of it if you have T.Dash

#

faster damage too

This game is what made enjoy those heavy metal stuff

#

Before I played it I only enjoyed the deathcore, death metal, grindcore etc

#

Basically the extreme metal stuff

#

But now I really like heavy metal riffs

pastel monolith
#

lol usualy ppl start liking heavy metal in the opposite direction.. like they go from pop to rock to punk to metal or something along thoae lines

u started harder and heavier and now u learned to like just regular heavy metal haha

#

hades soundtrack is awesome.. especially em4 music.. always gets my blood flowing.. also makes me scared and slopppy when i do that fight haha

#

anyone have random basic tips for phase 3 of em 4.. i find lately that where my game falls apart.. i dont have enough experience with it and i usualy lose 2 dds

rotund nexus
#

Many people get stuck in a tempo when playing

#

So when you are doing something new it can be hard to break that tempo

#

My advice would be to focus more on slowing down vs trying to hit during openings

wispy monolith

Is there a way to know exactly when I should press the button when fishing? It seems entirely RNG to me and it's more than a little frustrating.

rotund nexus
#

I press it the moment the bobble goes down, you have a decent window. If you find it difficult to hit you may be dealing with some type of input lag

mint coral
# wispy monolith Is there a way to know exactly when I should press the button when fishing? It s...

Nyaanyaa's Fishing Guide
There can only be three fake bobs, so the fourth bob is always real if the first three were fake. Fake bobs have an interval of 2-5 seconds while the real bob has an interval of 1-2 seconds. So if it takes more than 2 seconds, it should be a fake bob. Meaning you should look for the real bob within a short time after you start fishing or within a short time after a previous bob.

Personally, I just look for the white flash above the bobber and ignore the bobber itself. Some players have said they have better success when putting their thumb on the bobber to not get distracted by that, so maybe you could give that a try.

A Perfect Catch means catching a fish within 340ms. Perfect Catches are 50/50 on being a legendary or rare fish. Any other catch is 50/50 on being a rare or common fish.

i could be wrong on this because i don't run em4 but isn't the 2nd and 3rd phase basically the same but the 3rd phase is just darker

rotund nexus
latent moon

specifically from phase 2 to phase 3?

rotund nexus
#

But it’s like literally 2

latent moon
#

i know em4 adds some

upbeat walrus

@latent moon just jumped from 10:45 to 8:59

very nice

rotund nexus

Yes I believe so

upbeat walrus
#

bro

#

I am shaking

latent moon
#

lmao beowulf right

#

beo kinda be like that

#

pb jumps happen quite often for beowulf afaik

#

good boon and room rng certainly helps a lot

gray apex
#

beowulf very hard aspect

#

never really liked it

upbeat walrus
#

I was shooting for sub 10 going into elysium but the tunnels took no time

#

I didn’t even get Charge Shot either

#

that was the only negative thing. the room rng was like, pretty good

raw herald
upbeat walrus
#

I honestly don’t know what made the time so fast

#

Beowulf has always been my best weapon. I want to start climbing Heat with it

latent moon
#

what time did you enter ely

upbeat walrus
#

that’s like the only split I’m not 100% sure about

#

I’m pretty sure it was about 4:40

#

oh yea

#

it was

#

2:20 Tartarus

#

2:20 asphodel

#

then 2:30 elysium

#

I was at 7:09 entering Styx, I knew unless I got 4 sacked I had sub 10

latent moon
#

7:09 styx entry is pretty good yeah

#

2:30 ely is pretty standard for like sub 8/9

upbeat walrus
#

yea

#

I didn’t get patty

#

actually

latent moon
#

c33 and c34 combats kinda shaft you

upbeat walrus
#

I didn’t get a single story room

latent moon
#

lmao nice

#

free time save

upbeat walrus
#

I got 3 chaos gates tho

#

I think I got all 3 mid shops too

#

so overall pretty decent rng

#

a huge time save for me was I started taking the mini boss rooms in elysium

#

I didn’t get asterius but butterfly ball took 0 seconds

latent moon
#

Butterfly ball vs bull time save is so large lmao

#

Tbf bull can be faster than some standard encounters

upbeat walrus
#

the last run was like 14 minutes, it just would not give me mirage shot

latent moon
#

Namely unarmored blue men and flame wheels

upbeat walrus
#

what

#

I didn’t even curse

#

I said I had charge shot and quick charge

#

but yeah the DPS just wasn’t enough

latent moon
#

You might've misspelled shot lmao

upbeat walrus
#

perhaps

#

but yeah that felt absolutely ridiculous

latent moon
#

And yeah flood flare without mirage kinda has no damage in ely

upbeat walrus
#

yeah

latent moon
#

You need a full volley of casts to kill a single enemy if you don't have chaos juice

upbeat walrus
#

this run I got mirage shot in Tartarus lmao

latent moon
#

Based

upbeat walrus
#

final shop in there

latent moon
#

I got that as well in my sub6 lmao

#

Which is the only reason why I kept a 2 min tart leave

upbeat walrus
#

oh nice

#

hahah

#

I wish it kept your splits

#

totally my fault for not writing them down

#

though I’m pretty sure I’m correct in those

latent moon
#

Recording your gameplay is budget saving splits

upbeat walrus
#

it might’ve been 2:30, 2:10, 2:30

latent moon

asphodel was fast

#

well, it felt fast

but yeah lernie with and without mirage shot is absolutely crazy

2 stone vs 3 stone is huge

latent moon

Esp when you only have 3 stones lmao

upbeat walrus

lol I’m looking at my permanent record

I’ve used Beowulf 64 times and cleared with it 51 times

#

and it’s my best time and Heat by far

#

in second place is hestia with 18 uses and 12 clears 💀

latent moon
#

Lmao mood

#

I have a couple hundred runs on beo on my modded save

#

My second most used aspect probably has 50 at most

upbeat walrus
#

I haven’t downloaded a single mod. though the Apollo and Hestia one looks very cool

#

and the instant death button would be nice

latent moon
#

Speedrun modpack tracks your splits

upbeat walrus
#

but yea other than the speedrunning ones there aren’t rly many others

#

yeah

#

it’s sad. seeing games that are also awesome like hollow knight getting full content packs and multiplayer mods

#

whereas there’s basically one content mod in this game

#

which is tbh pretty small as well

#

that’s my main hope for hades 2

latent moon
#

There's one that combines all the weapon aspects into one

#

Another has better balance for the game

upbeat walrus
#

better balance?

latent moon
#

I remember watching grandpoohbears video or something about hades and it said there's a multiplayer mod in the works

I know there's one that gives you early access chaos shield when it was good

upbeat walrus
#

I strongly dislike chaos shield

latent moon
#

upbeat walrus
#

lol record says I’ve played it 4 times, cleared 3 times, with the best time being 29:44 with 0 Heat

#

no idea when that happened 💀

#

I bet those were like really early clears

latent moon
#

Probably

upbeat walrus
#

there’s definitely some aspects I’ve outright never played

#

looking at this

#

yeah there’s 4 I haven’t played…

#

oh they’re all zag aspects

mint coral
#

I didn't have a zag sword past like the first mandatory one lmao

#

Nor a win for that matter

upbeat walrus
#

zag shield, bow, fists, and rail

#

never even touched em

#

and I’ve never cleared with hades spear, Lucifer rail, Gilgamesh fists, Chiron bow, or nemesis sword

#

now that I’ve done sub 10 (and sub 9 ig) maybe clearing with all aspects could be my next goal

hybrid hedge

in styx is there a way to tell which gate has the foods

uh

gimme a sec

upbeat walrus
#

I just did that with TD2 and jury summons 40%

#

it was very not difficult

#

I guess I could keep jury summons 40 and do damage control 2 also

latent moon
#

the cursed part is cp2 and dc1 tbh

#

and em4 kinda

#

well em4 is fine actually

#

no lasting consequences?

upbeat walrus
#

I don’t like it

latent moon
#

convenience fee?

upbeat walrus
#

I take stupid damage

#

oh yeah I could do that

#

I bought max health twice tho and a boon

#

I thought CP2 was fine

latent moon
#

wait this is 40 not 50

upbeat walrus
#

yes

latent moon
#

you should learn lc4 sd

#

you need cleaner boss fights but your room clearing will be a lot easier

upbeat walrus
#

what’s sd?

latent moon
#

stubborn defiance

upbeat walrus
#

oh

#

hmmm

latent moon
upbeat walrus
#

yeah that makes a lot of sense I’m just scared of EM4

#

I think there’s no reason to fix the non-broken thing, I basically just did 39 Heat

latent moon
#

get rid of em4

#

take lc4 for that

upbeat walrus
#

hm

upbeat walrus
#

true

latent moon
#

quite literally double damage for em4 lmao

upbeat walrus
#

got it once can get it again zagluv

latent moon
#

true

#

my first 40 heat got mirage

#

but i started flood flare

upbeat walrus
#

what’s the % increase between Poseidon flood flare and passion flare

latent moon
#

this is generally pretty standard for the basis of a 40 heat pact

upbeat walrus
#

what’s the remaining 3?

latent moon
#

i typically do ap1 and js/cf

#

i'd do that for beo

#

beo isn't boon hungry so ap1 isn't a big deal

upbeat walrus
#

hmmm

latent moon
#

not getting cshot or sudden can kinda suck tho

upbeat walrus
#

I didn’t get either of those lol

latent moon
#

the other option is some combo of js and cf

upbeat walrus
#

my hammers were like meme worthy

latent moon
#

you'll be fine then

upbeat walrus
#

I bet my setup should get 40

latent moon
#

esp since you got through the em4 time sink and you wont take it this time

upbeat walrus
#

it’ll get complicated after that

latent moon
#

40 is still pretty flexible

upbeat walrus
#

yeah

#

it’s basically 40/55 because no hecking way am I taking the mirror one

latent moon
#

lmao yeah it's kinda bad

#

hestia deals with it pretty fine tho

#

some others as well

upbeat walrus
#

yea that’s why hestia is best for stupud high heat ig

anyways gtg ty for help

I’ll update you on it

BTW as someone who plans on getting everything, how should I use the trading system?

#

which boss resource should i be prioritizing?

formal citrus
#

I always traded up when the special deal was better than the always on deal. Sometimes did the others too mostly to get blood to unlock aspects faster. You'll always have more of everything is the nice part

#

I still haven't gotten all the badges. Not sure if I have enough, maybe

last veldt
#

Basically if you want everything, including getting to rank Unseen One, then nothing matters. You'll end up severely starved of darkness for a few hundred runs anyway.

#

You'll run out of things to spend gems on directly fairly soon too.

#

I mostly never trade with the broker for the normal deals unless there was something I wanted right now. Only the special deals are worth it (and not all of them).

Eg: triple shot, long distance increased by 200%, short distance increased by 150% ect

#

That would be for the bow

main talon
#

Yeah

#

in that example you wouldnt get extra damage

calm glacier
#

You mean the damage multipliers won't stack? (But triple shot will?)

#

Even tho they aren't "stacking" since they are for different distances

main talon
#

cause you cant hit the same enemy at both ranges

calm glacier
#

Yeah, i get that. I didn't mean damage stacking. I meant having both equipt at the same time

mint coral
#

Some hammers prevents others from appearing

calm glacier

But the damage ones can still stack with triple shot. I swear i did that a couple runs ago

I’m actually so mad rn it was such a not lucky run too room wise

boon wise was fine

it was so close that I genuinely didn’t know if I had died or won when I died

I’m gonna switch off the blue shields one. turning on one convenience fee

upbeat walrus

yep. I think I’ll prob run family favorite

I used it on that last run

you should still use pstatus

dont try and go for mirage shot

upbeat walrus

is a 25% buff not huge?
