read the description of that video
so how do I befriend hades
10 wins
gift
???
profit
https://ibb.co/6y2ZnrM so how do I make patric my friend? I can't give him any nectar
just talk to some people more and eventually you should be able to I can’t remember exactly how
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
https://ibb.co/0KCDr7L hades? more like easy
https://ibb.co/yFZ3qZK I already saw this dialogue before, idk why its playing again
https://ibb.co/vP6ds5N also, charged shot been carrying me
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 
Patroclus didn't show in my run and now I'm with this useless achilles item for no reason
:)
Wha? 
this is why we need endless mode
i play hades on switch, is getting it on pc worth it
yea
is it the kinda game that better on controller? or is it good on MnK
endless would be so cool
if you're interested in trying out different mods then yeah it's worth it
personal preference, some prefer kbm some prefer controller
what kinda mods are there?
just whatever you like
OlympusExtra adds in 2 new gods, i heard they're going to add in a 3rd soon but i'm not entirely sure
okay, i usually prefer mnk. but it feels amazing on joycons lmao
which 2?
i tried joycons on the switch after like 400+ hours on kbm and it felt pretty good lmao just prefernce
oh yeah there's a few
there's one that combines all aspects of a weapon into 1
And data transfers right? cause if im going on a road trip ill want the switch, but at home pc
another gives you old chaos shield back, which makes it better
old chaos sheild?
early access chaos shield
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
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
chain shot or twin shot for aspect of rama
twin is best rama hammer
yeah that's kinda what makes chaos bad lol, you can throw it out but you can't block or attack
triple also is good but is generally less consistent
you can block with Zeus aspect out
is rama the hidden?
yeah ik, i'm saying chaos sucks because you can't block while you throw the special
yes
ohhh yeah
yeah twin shot is the best hammer by far
whats the best special boon for aspect of zeus?
hazard bomb :]
I meant on the bow
I find dio good
hazard bomb best hammer
zeus easily
i was so confused for a second then i realized you meant dionysus
aspect dependent
and as far as the rail goes I obviously want clockets or triple bomb if it's lucifer
zag/rama hammers are mostly identical tho
what about like merciful end with athena dash or attack?
but hazard bomb is the next best
hazard bomb silly tho
hazard bomb + artemis
best build
i mean yeah i guess that's technically stronger lmao
but zeus^2 is generally more consistent
zeus squared?
zeus special on zeus shield
thats silly
I meant name was silly
oh lmao
crit noise, big number damage is dopamine. it's true
or aphro cast with hera bow
also big damage
what weapon is beo and what it do
i like that
mirage shot is bugged on it so that it does 100% instead of 30%
i like
well mirage shot is bugged on all flares, so it extends to trippy flare on hera
how do i get beo sheild
pinned in #h1-story-discussion
explain that, idk what that mean
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
beo has 100% mirage shot damage bug and a bug where trippy does way more damage than advertised when you pom it
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
just trippy flare, so dionysus cast
so is dio cast better than aphro for hera bow
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
aight
same thing with beowulf, you still want to use poseidon/aphrodite cast instead of dio because of that same reason
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
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
nope
if you mean the keepsakes, no
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?
N o o o o o o o o
Where are you
right at the start
strong drink
strong drink then
okay thank yoou
after party is a nothing boon
after party is funny for taking -hp per atk/cast/special curses tho lmao
Oh yeah
that's the only time i've found it useful
Never thought of that
i just take the dd loss
yeah
granted it wont give you the free % boost but it's fine
yeah lmao kinda cringe
Theseus and Asterious are dating and no one can convince me they're not.
they do be dating
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
only spear
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
okii tysm
the solution is use achilles instead

Alright em4 attempt 2 i have modified my strategy
Hera run with the funny beam and abyssal blood lets see if it works out
what's abyssal blood doing there
To assist in my cowardly avoidance
Well good thinf i didnt pick up beam yet
Better idea, aim for anything else but still get chill effect boons
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
i just accidentally got aspect of rama lmfao, how do i use it well?
tag everything in the room with special, and power shot through a bunch of enemies
Anything that hits more things iihtg
twin/triple shot then perfect/point blank
explosive is more of a meme
aight
if you pick it say goodbye to power shotting
I wonder if artemis cast does crits for hera
what are best boons
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
Does switching to a new god charm midrun guarantee them
Nice i have aphro cast
no
:(
Borrowable money right before patroclus event you know what that mwans :)
i mean it does but also it's a 10% crit chance which is pretty abyssmal
yo wont be killing anything and the casts will get stuck unless you one shot with crits
that's not how that works
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
Ooh yea
Well i mean my build shredded charon and i only took one hit so
Nice
Got parting shot im so winning this
acorn
prob sweet nectar at this point
you're going into styx and prob dont need any more poms
i mean it's fine lmao
sweet nectar gave you the money to buy it
if you think about it that way
I swear every time i equip the hourglass i get no wells in any paths
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
is hidden spear good? it feels absolutely horris
yes
but you need a specific hammer
what hmer
charged skewer
ok!
best weapon and worst weapon in ghaeme?
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
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
is nemesis best aspecxt
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
wis beo wulf best shield
yeah
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
gilga is gilga
arthur is pretty okay tho, not really bad but also not that outstanding
and yeah gilga is pretty bad lmao
Isn't there an argument for Zeus best shield of trying to not account for personal preference
64 heat and all
eh
beo is better than zeus up until like... about 55ish iirc?
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
up until ri and dc are in equation
also its crazy how little damage zagbow does
but also how much chaos i get on every run i do with it
ri3 is no casts so beo dies
oh yeah it's pretty bad
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
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
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
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
rama pretty simple
i'm still bad at aiming
fiery presence on hestia is great
where do I post a question about a spolier related prophecy?
You could here
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
Have you gifted them Ambrosia?
oh and I've had all the dialogue about ||Persephone || too
yah
Probably some dialogue/rng
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
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.
my 3rd boon is a duo lol
I keep skipping Aphrodite’s dialogue because my parents are in the room 😭😭😭
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?
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?
Beating that heat is still a limiting factor, but if you can beat 0 heat you can probably beatt 1 heat
20 heat is basically 0, hl1 lc1 em2 bp2 mm uc td3
LC1, JS2, CF2, EM3, MM, UC, BP2 was my sheild 20
https://ibb.co/vXwh38w I read this as furry cast 😭
is aspect of beowulf better than zeus
yea
I always like LC2 because it still gives you +2 hp on room exit. Feel like I'm cheating the system
I use dark regen
Ah
Lol TD3 being called no heat
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
what does this mean, this looks like chess notation
it's definitely not chess notation
its a joke
hey can you move my w piece to q5
I don't think I'm alone having my first clear take like 40 min
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
how much total darkness is needed to completely max out the mirror
every skill
or do you also want the useless ones
35365
you can lose 11000 off that by not doing fated authority
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
if i put swift flourish on zeus shield will ghe damage tick faster
you need to pom it a lot
a lot?
yea
doom just seems so much better
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
I now have every weapon aspect
Ok
what do u have maxed
Hestia
HESTIA BEST ASPECT 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪
and zag sword cus skelly was being a bit of a troll
it was funny
It was admittedly pretty funny
I also now have every keepsake
which is cool
speaking of which what was the first keepsake yall got?
I'm gonna guess either coin purse or cerb's collar
I believe mine was bone hourglass
Charon was my first bond instead
Mine was dusa
Mine was Poseidon lol
broseidon
zeus aspect was fun af ngl
it is
tho i did manage to get 4 zeus boons before asphodel so i probably won't always be that lucky

Recently I’ve been getting barely any boons at all, and the game decides to make my rng even worse when UC is active
what's best weapon for merciful end
well
sword you can do it well
spear you can do it wellish
fists is like the primary one
I beat the game for the 5th time now!!!!
also I love dusa with every cell of my body fr fr
probably fists tbh, although if you dont get the duo then specifically nemesis is better
I accidentally got Lucifer merciful end once. Was pretty effective esp with the doom stacker
lol that sounds wild
I think that was more doom stacking rather than ME lmao
how do i easily unlock beowulf
Nah, lots of gun dashing.
Tbf I guess it's not unlikely when I like anthena balls so much
Any time I play Hades, I'm compelled to have a thesaurus (not him
) 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
why do i find beowulf dash so underwhelming
what
it feels tedious to use
beowulf dash
beowulf cast
u dont have enough damage then
whats a good shield dash attack build
damn
the zag/chaos shield build is called getting cshot
the main point of beo is the cast not the dash attack, attack, or special
https://youtu.be/k2N81_s-6Zc here’s some relatively novice beo gp with good rng
its basically just dash strike into rush
"relatively novice beo gp" sends a sub6
there are like 1500 sub6s
sudden rush feels like a must have on beowulf to me
like you do realize that you're probably in the top 1 or 2% of players right
well yeah but the average playtime is probably like 10 hours
does that matter?
in terms of people who actually play the game im probably bottom 25%
give yourself more credit than you think lmao
bottom 25% is a bold statement for someone who has a 5:27
1 person
thats wya more impressive
Never underestimate how many casuals play the game
that quite literally doesn't make you bottom 25%
there are like 10 sub5 s
okay and
10 people at best better than you
also the gp in the 550 is way better than in my pb
well it's more like 20-30 ish
pb was basically just gacha gaming
i'd say at most there's 75 people better than you lmao
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
im not rlly that good though i only play like 4 aspects
By joining a Hades discord, you're already top 25% just from filtering casual players
you still have good game sense
and im only passable at 1
and its the easy one
and if you wanted to you could probably do all aspects sub8 pretty easily
also getting a sub10 is above average lmao
shiiiiiit i spent hours trying to get beowulf to realize its too slow for my playstyle
lowkey kinda true
i mean thats just too many
could have gone without like 10 of them at least
you need to start recognizing that you're leagues better than the average player
it's got a bit of a learning curve
dash strike into the dragon rush
that should help a bit
getting charged shot is a god send
sudden rush is decent cope
how does the beowulf explosion work on charged shot
goes where the cshot goes
end of the cshot
shrimple
and more damage
do the stones spawn at the end of the shot
usually min
you also ideally just blow up the enemy with the casts so you're not in danger while picking them up
I see
and get buff from wells
giving up a run doesnt save any resources you collected on that run right
Does Nyx give the Arthur blade?
Am I overselling Boiling Blood's value against bosses? It's making me not get Dio, Deme, Ares' cast boons.
yes
yea
no
Ok Ty
i mean it's a small amount but also it's quite literally free damage
small depending on aspect
+50% dmg just from lodging a cast is huge for me
ares cast is good if u get hunting blades and additive
sometimes it's pretty big like on hestia or something
gon try merciless fist i heard its a good dash attack build or something
but it's just free damage lmao
you just spam dash attack once you get the build going
excellent
every build is a dash attack build if you just mean doing dash attacks
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
https://youtu.be/J9p7P_5LoAY here’s a perfect rng me dem run
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.
the other ones didnt enthrall me
how do i make Lucifer good, same question for beowulf
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
does unlocking aspects with titan blood count towards the 5 titan blood requisite or do they have to be upgrades
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%
unlocking should work i think?
i hope so
because that counts as investing titan blood
ye
aspect of lucifer is so much fun
but im confused about how the orb things work
sometimes they explode and sometimes they dont
you have to hit them
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
I need help. Whats the gate with the option being a exclamation mark with 3 gems surrounding it mean?
Ty
Is armour damage good?
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
Never ambrosia, just diamond for 1k or blood for 1.2
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
Can I just pick a Fated boon then sell it afterwards?
does it still tag it as done?
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
Clockets baby!!!
It's so good that I didn't bother using my Attack
Never trade wot
Basically you can play on higher heat if you like but it won't make a difference for unlocking the first set of bounties
Yeah rocket first into clockets is a lot stronger than cluster into clockets
Ay imma be fr
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
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
I mean it basically sounds like you know the issue. You’re probably thrown off because majority of the game is reflex and it messes you up when you are learning again
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
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.
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
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.
ur right.. thars good advice.
especially at the very end of a run its easy to get stuck in a rythm
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
I think there are a few new attacks
specifically from phase 2 to phase 3?
But it’s like literally 2
i know em4 adds some
@latent moon just jumped from 10:45 to 8:59
very nice
Yes I believe so
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
yea beo
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
neither
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
what time did you enter ely
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
c33 and c34 combats kinda shaft you
I didn’t get a single story room
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
Butterfly ball vs bull time save is so large lmao
Tbf bull can be faster than some standard encounters
the last run was like 14 minutes, it just would not give me mirage shot
Namely unarmored blue men and flame wheels
what
I didn’t even curse
I said I had charge shot and quick charge
but yeah the DPS just wasn’t enough
You might've misspelled shot lmao
And yeah flood flare without mirage kinda has no damage in ely
yeah
You need a full volley of casts to kill a single enemy if you don't have chaos juice
this run I got mirage shot in Tartarus lmao
Based
final shop in there
I got that as well in my sub6 lmao
Which is the only reason why I kept a 2 min tart leave
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
Recording your gameplay is budget saving splits
it might’ve been 2:30, 2:10, 2:30
Sounds fairly accurate tbh
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
fr
Esp when you only have 3 stones lmao
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 💀
Lmao mood
I have a couple hundred runs on beo on my modded save
My second most used aspect probably has 50 at most
I haven’t downloaded a single mod. though the Apollo and Hestia one looks very cool
and the instant death button would be nice
Speedrun modpack tracks your splits
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
There's one that combines all the weapon aspects into one
Another has better balance for the game
better balance?
I remember watching grandpoohbears video or something about hades and it said there's a multiplayer mod in the works
more friendliness to mods
Some stuff in the game kinda sucks lmao
oh? I’m excited for that if that’s true
I’m curious, I honestly don’t have much of a problem with a lot of it but maybe it’s just because I’ve brain rotted myself past it
Ngl i don't remember what exactly got balanced
I know there's one that gives you early access chaos shield when it was good
I strongly dislike chaos shield
Based
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
Probably
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
I didn't have a zag sword past like the first mandatory one lmao
Nor a win for that matter
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
in styx is there a way to tell which gate has the foods
Just did 36 Heat in 17:10 without tight deadline 3 on :( @latent moon
damn maybe I can actually do 40 Heat
yea
what's your 40 pact gonna be
hard labor 100%
jury summons 60%
EM4
cal program max
benefits package max
middle management
FO2
damage control 1
TD3
oh that's kinda cursed
oh?
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
the cursed part is cp2 and dc1 tbh
and em4 kinda
well em4 is fine actually
no lasting consequences?
I don’t like it
convenience fee?
I take stupid damage
oh yeah I could do that
I bought max health twice tho and a boon
I thought CP2 was fine
wait this is 40 not 50
yes
you should learn lc4 sd
you need cleaner boss fights but your room clearing will be a lot easier
what’s sd?
stubborn defiance
i made a 32 heat guide that's pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies that explains why
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
hm
i mean you got mirage shot
so
true
quite literally double damage for em4 lmao
got it once can get it again 
what’s the % increase between Poseidon flood flare and passion flare
what’s the remaining 3?
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
hmmm
not getting cshot or sudden can kinda suck tho
I didn’t get either of those lol
the other option is some combo of js and cf
my hammers were like meme worthy
you'll be fine then
I bet my setup should get 40
esp since you got through the em4 time sink and you wont take it this time
it’ll get complicated after that
yea that’s why hestia is best for stupud high heat ig
anyways gtg ty for help
I’ll update you on it
aight gl
Just maxed hestia and eris aspect
If I have my spear at 18 heat to be eligible for bounties, and i do overheated run at say 32 heat, after that run will the heat for the spear be 19 for bounties?
yea
Yeah exactly
Since I started with the heavier stuff I found the lighter more uuh 90s heavy metal very boring
But now I'm getting the badass feeling they trynna give
Also sorry I didnt respond earlier
Pls ping me haha
original price should be 25 lmao
Best weapon? I've found the bow pretty easy to use for the first 3 ish floors. Wondering what other people think
rail/bow/shield
what weapon got highest dps
beo
“I would prefer to fade to nothingness far more than be required to consume one of those foul plants, which tainted too many a meal of mine while I was living, and goad me even now that I am dead”
-Achilles
😭 after 38 tries (i think) i finally beat the final boss
😭 please don't make me do it again
T h e r e i s n o e s c a p e
does anyone know why my antivirus detected and quarantined a file called "Win32:Malware-gen" ?? the game was working perfectly fine until today
sounds like a question for #h1-tech-support
oh right
I think I just finished the main story?
main story is 10 wins
||I reached Hades and he just let me pass, then I rode back with Persephone via Charon's boat||
yeah that's 10 wins
(POTENTIAL SPOILER, CLICK AT OWN RISK)
Freest titans blood of my life
what has the highest dps (not beo, its hard to use lmao)
Probably hera
Although it’s very similar to beos that playstyle
Eris is good as well
BTW as someone who plans on getting everything, how should I use the trading system?
which boss resource should i be prioritizing?
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
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).
The rewards for beating the bosses each time
Ah, 0-20 heat
how many times can fated persuasion get upgraded
Max is 4 dice
I am missing one companion
Which ones do u have
quick wuestion? If i beat meg, do i have to continue to beat her each time?
yes
thats annoying
Not too much
does she become easy after a while?
Do hammers stack?
Eg: triple shot, long distance increased by 200%, short distance increased by 150% ect
That would be for the bow
You mean the damage multipliers won't stack? (But triple shot will?)
Even tho they aren't "stacking" since they are for different distances
cause you cant hit the same enemy at both ranges
Yeah, i get that. I didn't mean damage stacking. I meant having both equipt at the same time
Can't get both
Some hammers prevents others from appearing
But the damage ones can still stack with triple shot. I swear i did that a couple runs ago
some
Twin shot and sniper shot block each other for example
Triple and sniper won't
Triple Shot Your Attack fires 3 shots in a spread pattern.
Cannot be combined with Twin Shot
Yes, because you unlock more in game buffs and also get better as a player
https://ibb.co/2t07DZR only 4 more to go :>
all of my winning runs had divine dash and I'm sure thats not a coincidence
So ladies and gents and everyone in-between
I have a question that needs a discussion
Go on
If other characters were to use the aspect of Zagreus on the infernal arms what do you think they're activate phrase would be?
Either individually for a weapon or for the weapons themselves
whats trading and good do i get it
Interesting statement
@latent moon bro.
I was 1 hit away from 40 heat
I couldn’t find him and tight deadline was out and I guessed but I was wrong
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
dc at 40 definitely is bad
40 pact shrimple just hl5 lc4 cf2 em3 bp2 mm uc fo2 td3
think
oh and ap1
sounds like em4 lmao
will say tho that you being good at em4 rn translates pretty well for a 50 heat clear lmao
that’s true. rn I’m on a run where I’m in asphodel and have all of the boons I want
except mirage
crush shot level 4, Posei core, Aphro core, and of course divine dash
are you not running pstatus passion flare lmao
I am
oh you just dont have it active lmao
wdym
well you'd need some t2 boon
yeah
considering this set up the only logical one is going to be exposed from athena
Well, I just lost the great seed to a standard elysium encounter
well
you should still use pstatus
and force demeter for your second god
dont try and go for mirage shot
40% is bigger and it's easy to get going on beo
beo can hold it's own through asphodel
wait are you running ap1
yeah but then you’re locking yourself out of mirage shot which is outright double
which one is ap
How do i upgrade weapons? The option to upgrade one has appeared but only 1
no
it's less consistent to get with ap which is why i'm asking if you're running ap rn lmao
just start flood
flood into mirage
are you running calisthenics program
yes
yeah that's why
I could do customs instead
god yes
oh…
you gave dad 5k more hp per phase
what is your pact
LOL
like straight up lmfao
no way em4 cp2
it's so cursed but honestly pretty impressive lmfao
40 is simple hl5 lc4 cf2 em3 bp2 mm uc fo2 ap1 td3
yeah I mean I did 36 Heat under TD3 time without TD3 enabled
with the em4 cp2 build lmfao
yeah, ok, in retrospect it’s not genius
50 heat is gonna be cakewalk for you i swear lmfao
imagine resetting for an em4 cp2 instaphase build
I like EM4 better than LC4
I need my healing :(
plus em4 isn’t that bad

is there anything I should go for other than mirage shot? maybe Artemis legendary?
oh and snow burst
artemis has a legendary?
