you can keep any keepsake equipped
but once you use it and then switch off you can’t switch back
cool
too hard lmao
i was SO CLOSE to beating 16
i had a really good festive fog hera build going but i got sniped by hade's laser and didnt react in time
oh well
ill get it next time lmao
screw it im going for a rama nuke build for the meme
Theseus EM3 is the least annoying part of Elysium when talking about FO2 I would say
i'm guessing Asterius' faster slash combos are more insane
but it doesn't help that i still have not gotten the good timing of distancing myself from Theseus' front when dashing behind his back to catch up to him
do a tokyo drift around him
More useful macros:
- For ME: attack, slight delay, dash. Useful on some weapons where dash-attack does not immediately proc ME via Divine Dash and requires a second dash. Eschewing dash-attacks and simply attacking before dashing can be useful. This was yesterday and I forgot some details but I think the sword behaves this way.
- For bow: dash, tiny delay, attack. Makes it much easier to consistently execute dash-attacks. If configuring this via Steam Input, switch dash activation in this macro to "start press"; this way you can also press normal dash while holding the macro key, to dash out early.
- Auto-Dash on a certain interval (currently using 300ms) while holding the Dash key. Reduces wear and tear on the button and finger strain.
Using a suitable macro is much more consistent and much easier
And reduces wear and tear on your input device (I broke a bumper earlier)
Seems like you kinda care
Game has plenty of challenges without having to contend with gamepad-breaking, hand-cramp-inducing key-mashing. I've explained the motive, which is sufficient for me and probably some other people. It's fine if you don't feel like you need this
Getting the infinite ammo hammer on Eris (what was the name?) Was a finger workout. Esp with epic greater reflex
And I highly recommend trying this out before dissing it. I think the convenience is well worth the effort setting this up
Especially Hestia auto-reload macro and bow dash-attack macro
For fists, your e aware you can hold attack, right?
Would that be a sufficient reason to not use a rapid-attack macro on sword/spear/shield?..
?
I'm just checking that you're aware of it
Not trying to tell you your way of playing is wrong
What macro are you setting on those? One for dash attacks?
On fists, I think I only use the auto-dash macro. Might have forgotten to mention it earlier (edit: added to the list). 300ms delay repeating Dash while holding the key (I really don't want to break it again)
Unless using ME in which case the ME macro becomes relevant (need to double check)
Dash strike to dash upper esp with ME I could see being the most useful
Timing that one is still difficult for me
Easier Dash-Upper is on my list of things to "fix", it requires releasing the normal attack unless using Kinetic Launcher, trying to figure out how it needs to work
On Fists I normally just hold Dash (the aforementioned 300ms auto-Dash macro) together with Attack which is already automatic, and briefly release Attack to press Special for Dash-Upper. Maybe the Special key could programmatically "release" Attack without having to physically release the button
depends on what u mean by well manips
if u mean dupes basically never
it’s usually out of lernie rich with rd and 3 rolls i believe
but u don’t need to learn it
but u should always buy healing item before rolling
Does non MM doomstone actually have an attack?
Like when it slams down on you?
The tart midboss
voidstone
whatever
the thing that summons the thing
i dont think i have ever seen it do an attack on you
does it do something to attack you
the one where with mm the room is filled with the trap things\
and it summons the guys to make a laser iwth it
oh it does a laser
MM adds the trap room
even on a slow kill it never attacks
Prob because after you meg the armor is gone so you just hit stun it
you would know this is you played em4
Lmfao true
Doomstone so goated for em4
ive only gotten bballs and the dropping guys and sneaks in em4
because ive played it like 3 times total
Hella god gauge charging.
Is for other thing
If you have enough lil crystals when dad does the 2nd set of summons he won't be able to summon mini bosses
Wait really? That's kinda messed up that you're punished for actually engaging with the summons. I usually just try to ignore them and see if my secondary damage takes them out.
Is not easy to do on accident tbh
Cuz the crystals die quick anyways
If I get doomstones I'm 100% trying for it to avoid sneaks or B.balls tho
Slammers are kind of the best option even if not running acorn. But with it, no competitopn
Did you choose healing from the Sisyphus?
why
Oh your e doing heat
Did you see jazzs health lmao
Well I guess for speed you'd still take money
But also the normal player would take hp lol
Or using DDs for heat
Apparently after SD it wasn't enough for chaos lol
You're not supposed to
Jazz took hc because she says it makes tart faster
it stays up for at least a few chambers
And then she ends up not being able to take chaos gates lmao
Oh bruh that's even worse
if u get one (1) heart it's fine
Lmao gl getting that
is there way to know current room from the safe file?
?
if you're on a run when you quit out it'll say what biome you quit out in
but not chamber number
to bad
but ig things like "ForceLootName": "AthenaUpgrade"
and
"LootChoiceHistory": {
"1.0": {
"UpgradeName": "ArtemisUpgrade",
"UpgradeChoices": {
"1.0": {
"Rarity": "Epic",
"Chosen": "true",
"Name": "ArtemisWeaponTrait"
},
"2.0": {
"Rarity": "Epic",
"Chosen": "false",
"Name": "ArtemisRangedTrait"
},
"3.0": {
"Rarity": "Epic",
"Chosen": "false",
"Name": "ArtemisRushTrait"
}
},
"Depth": 0.0
are useful but the save file in json format is about 100000 lines so it's hard to find what i want
i just have a lot of saves https://i.imgur.com/XXnotmJ.png
so having more info about the save will make it easier ig
lol isn’t this cheating 
Or to sell it
Its butt
health is a resource
I mean it's better to keep it so it doesn't get offered again lol
But 420 coins
stubborn roots saved me on my first 50 clear
If you don't need the money then it's whatever
ok bubby
Declogging duo pool

there's more duos worth far more selling
Okay
i'd rather sell curse of longing
Only a heroic attack?
L
I should do 50 heat hestia modded
Get good
good pact ill try that
it’s free
I meant unmodded oops
oh
Modded still kinda free tho
just do 54 though
No thanks
basically 50
does modded 50 take shackle tart
tdash?
whar
Aphro atk or tdash
just get ddash
Aphro atk is more common
it’s literally so easy
whoopsie
Tdash is fine
u gotta pom it and stuff
I remember someone streamed a 50 and started tdash
for just a clear ddash is free
It was for some event
It's more to deal with bad bp perks
Not for like main damage
Cloner savior numbskulls are actually doable now lmao
I remember in the stream someone asked "why tdash start" and then the dude walked into savior cloner numbskulls
Lmfao
I lied
i keep getting ghost things
?

You just gotta be fast enough to see it
Does anyone have a link to all the art assets used for each Zagreus cut-in during dialogues? I am studying the interactions and would love have these.
Thanks in advance! Feel free to @ me!
so, I was playing tonight and I had an idea: Endless Mode.
Instead of there being a final boss, the game loops on itself back to the first chamber, and each time you complete a region, you have to increase the heat count by 1, with whatever effect of your choosing.
Except there totally is a final boss at max heat and you get to take everything you collected home if you beat it.
thoughts?
that would be so free
Any news about version 2? I am waiting
Nothing
thank u sir
actually im amir and it’s coming out tomorrow
but only if u give me 2 million dollars in blockbuster gift cards
An Endless Mode sounds interesting
though i will probably still keep the Hades boss fight, just it will continue to loop
I like the idea of no final boss without max heat to really keep the snowball effect going and to incentivize players to be more careful in their decision making leading up to that point.
A quick question if i do suicide runs and keep talking to Artemis will at some point get her hidden aspect;
Assuming you have the pre requisites for it done already then yeah, that works
I'm doing it for a couple of hours now and is getting frustrating
If it's frustrating then tbh, just play like normal and just be surprised when it drops
Or be sure you have all the requidites idk 
I just need the infernal arms achievement and i platinum hades but this specific achievement is talking too much time
You mean if it's full her relationship;
Check #h1-story-discussion pins for what you need for each hidden aspect
Thanks
Thank you you saved me from wasting more time i got the remaining hidden aspects that i needed under 10 minutes
Nice 
its fun but SOOOOO SLOWWWW
its pretty fast
It's got a bit of a learning curve lmao
Dash strikes help
It has a 5:26 anyheat time and 7:30 50 heat time so not exactly slow
mhm
no im not sayinf it cant go fast
im just saying thr attacks are slow to charge and it feels slow lol
Play it more lol
it's more fun when you shout SONIC BOOOOM whenever you throw special
not it's not
also i waste a lot of time trying to get a boon that i want
i mean you can say it's "cheating" but it's not same as using a mod
but anyway doesn't it matter if i'm "cheating"?
can’t really cheat in a single player game unless you’re putting something on a leaderboard
still have to sit still for a decent amount of time
same as chiron but chiron dosent have the damage to make up for it
we can stack doom right? also does it have an upper limit like dio's hangover?
You can't
The most similar thing is dire misfortune which adds extra dmg to doom the more you re apply it before it procs
if you could outright stack it thatd be way too much damage
But each time you stack the counter doubles the previous max length
I went into charon's chamber after having bought a thing from the pool to guarantee a fish, then messed up the cast cus I dropped the controller
P a i n
Were you still able to buy stuff from charon?
Yea. Was just mad at myself for messing up the cast for the fish
I wasted like 60 coins xD
Also Meg just said "you used to be a total pushover" LIKE WOOWWWWW
i was unintentionally selective about my boons this run
so now i have a heroic level 10 crush shot
lmao got it to lvl 14, bouta fight hades now
prob gonna lose but oh well
Hopefully you have a braid
damn i died
nah but i had 5 casts from chaos giving me 2 extra
but i got him down to less than half health on his final stage, and it was at 19 heat
What aspect?
hera
so not bad i think, i just nuked him with my casts every so often. i just am bad at dodging lol
Good time to have level 14 heroic crush. Was it rate crop or eury?
rare crop
got it crazy early on
it was a great run but im pretty bad with dodging
Apparently rare crop is bugged to make hera casts do a variable amount of damage unfortunately
oh that sucks
but yeah it was a good run, i dealt a ton of damage with all 5 casts loaded up
but i just got stuck in his laser and took a bunch of damage before i could escape
i hate how it kinda stuns you, oh well i got close
@sudden patrol when he starts charging, hide behind the pillars
Or hug dad
Or use Aphrodite call
Guys what are your best times and heats
32 is pretty good for 80 attempts
my pbs rn are like
5:13 beo 6:14 achilles 6:35 hera 6:52 hestia 6:53 nemesis 7:04 zagspear and eris 7:06 demeter
6:06 at 32 heat
and my heat pb is 54
9:38, 42, at 400 some thing runs (and some giving up so even more than that runs)
i dont want to know how many attempts i have
Chiron by no means is the best but is the safest for new players like me
At least relatively new ones
hestia
Rama is an excellent damage aspect tho
the range of the shot literally goes off the screen
Wait does hestia first shot have more range than normal gun?
i think it's 50% more
the issue with the safety of chiron is that your enemies are also very safe
I'm asking about range lol. The attack does base 150
Like what aspects do we like?
The range is 150% more
No pc or what
go test it
It said on wiki
150 of original or 150 more?
Oh maybe ur right then
but it's very large
Yh I think it was 150% of of shot not +150%
Neat
Didn't know its range was increased at all but I probably should have noticed.
I still due to REDACTED all the time with it. Otherwise it feels alright for me
There be the catch
em4 it should still be fine
unless you're at the heats where you actually have to take it
Yep, just not for me
cause at high heat hestia stops doing that thing where you kill the enemies with rapidity
Fo2 doesn't help
hestia deals fine with fo2
Fo2 em4 I mean
I'd for me
not for meme beams
i never did those
too attached to my streak
and then i broke it when i did a little unmodded beo grind
My highest streak is like 14 lol
i had like 130 or something
with 1 loss inbetween my first win and the start of the streak
there were 32x6 and a 40 in there too
hestia gud
this always made me mad
Lol
it was close to ending on my first 32 though
not even close baby
collar actually saved my life
with td3 time
all 4 fist clears were special spam talos
My first 32 on each weapon were all td0 fo0 js3 em4 bp2 mm and then other stuff I'm pretty sure.
First win was 40 something minutes with beo festive styg hera I think.
beo styg hera?
Dio
Not beo
Whoops
I still can't do beo heat except with festive and special spam
mirage floodflare just oneshots everything and you arent as chaos reliant
Doesn't one shot em4
I guess that's a big asterisk
Not em4 just isn't as fun. I want to test the build endgame and go out with a bang either way
How do you rd on beo?
And in general is dashing right after you launch stuff an adequate way to get hd?
Cshot helps but yeah
Beo and rama and maybe even hera you can just dash after releasing?
Yeah
For rama you dash to release
But same difference
Dash to release gives you more time for Rd to proc when it hits an enemy
Oh, dash always overrides a held attack?
Makes sense. Just never thought about it. Probably have done it lots. Esp with hera
i just play the same whether i have rd or not because i spam dash anyways
Yeah lol
I think rama is the only one where you should adjust a bit
Or just learn to dash out of your shots lol
Endless cycle of this is kind of why flurry shot sorta messes me up on hera
Though I did just get my highest heat with it so shrug
how does anyone enjoy using beo shield it's so slow
quit a completely fine run straight in the middle because it's just clunky and unfun
you have to get flood flare and mirage shot
it’s a very fast aspect
it's slower than the other shields to charge up or even attack
i don't mean that the damage is low
sure
damage was certainly good
but it kills everything very quickly
you just have to change your approach
it turns hades into a sort of puzzle game
true if your target does not jump around
with stone management and grouping
you plan a route around a room after recognizing the enemies
i would get beo if i wasnt bored of zeus zeus shield
True
with beo you want dash strike into your charges and do so close to the enemy its much slower if you bullrush from a standing strike and/or start it from far away id watch some speedruns/high heat to see some examples
How do I... throw a Hades-themed birthday party for a 20 year old? (The 20 year old in question is me.)
is aphro good on guan yu special?
yep big damage
yeah dw i was doing that it just still felt clunky and slow comparatively
zagreus in fortnite when
Reenact an abusive relationship with father
go to greece, find the hottest people around, eat pomegranates
bonus if you fight a cow
New fav beo build: infernal trippy, to really maximize my throwing time.
Infernal trippy is awesome for precisely 14 chambers of the video game
and is also the easiest way to instaphase tis
i remember when kirrby did infernal trippy for a run
then he got cast bugged and had to wait like 15 seconds to pick up a chamber reward
lmfao amazing
took me a while to recognise
p sure it sheeted anyways tho
what's a good boon on guan yu primary??
if you have aph/artemis on special you can do the other on attack
if you have athena special ares attack
so yea artemis attack will open heart rend
and I can get a natural artemis
Nyaanyaa's Guan Yu Guide
Generally on Guan Yu, the hammers you want are Charged Skewer > Quick Spin > Massive Spin > Serrated Point. Breaching Skewer and Serpent Wing also alright. And Breaching Skewer becomes top priority for the second hammer if you have Charged Skewer already.
Charged Skewer shortens the startup of Guan Yu's Special a whole lot and lets you hold your Special for up to triple base damage.
You'll want Heartbreak Flourish or Deadly Flourish ideally, anyway, for the high % damage. Guan Yu's Special has 45 base damage, piercing, and wide AOE. Anything with % damage is good on Attack except Tempest Strike is unorthodox and requires fully leaning into Poseidon to make it work (though it can be effective and fun).
For optimal DPS, you're either doing Special > Dash-Strike x2 or Cast > Dash-Strike x2 with Guan Yu. Cast for single-target, Special when you can hit multiple enemies with it (or if you have Charged Skewer). And just your Special and reposition if it's enough to one-shot things (which it often is if you have Charged Skewer).
There are two ways to charge the spin: from a normal Attack and from a Dash-Attack. 99% of the time you want to charge from a Dash-Attack. And there are three ways to release a spin: let go of Attack, Dash, and Dash-Attack. Letting go of Attack is the safest method and how you want to release it most of the time. It's also usually the best method for keeping the spin on your enemy. Releasing with a dash gives you i-frames and a lot more range for the spin, but it travels faster. You mainly use that to quickly escape a situation or to throw your spin at very far-away enemies. And releasing with a Dash-Attack gives you the extra range that a Dash gives but without any of the i-frames, but the benefit is that you can immediately charge a new spin. This method is the most aggressive and best for DPS, and it can keep you within the Deflect spin if you happen to use Divine Strike.
I am sorry I ever doubted hestia.
I love hestia now, it makes me feel like a WW1 soldier on crack.
I think, it may overtake hera as my most fun weapon to play as
I currently run Art or Aphro and try to stack as many damage sources as I can, however, I would like to know if there are any specialised builds that shine the best with Hestia
You pretty much got the idea of it lol
Aphro attack is better for consistency and break points tho
The Ultimate Hestia Guide Version 1.2.0, By Zyruvias and viewers like you! Please enjoy this word salad describing all of the uses of Hestia. This is still a work in progress. I eventually want to gather gameplay clips, make annotations, spreadsheets, screenshots, etc. 32/40/50 heat pact discuss...
That should help lol
thanks a bunch!
hello
new seed advice please
first room Aphrodite Epic Special
third, Hammer
what to choose?
(at first it was spear but I don't like that throwing spear thing. too slow for me)
guan yu's fun
though I got lucky with charged skewer in tartarus and then aphro on special
for now, fooling around with Demeter
kicked [redacted] ass
11 heat isn't enough
I think I will stop after beating EM4
with every weapons
its not that bad
EM4?
tried one time
biggest ass-whooping I get in the game
u just gotta keep the double spin in mind
Phew, i finally finish my series of FF run, 100% all Gods and all weapons
gg
Lol, then I'm all set
stygian or infernal for dio cast on beowulf?
found out abt the pom glitch and wanna try
Stygian + hunt for more casts
alr, how much time does the fog last?
Yeah it's 5 seconds
Hello, i had a question
I'm trying to get hypno's favor
I did the autograph, i got the dialogue about the tombstones to speed up the shades
So now i think all i'm missing is the thanatos dialogue where we talk about hypnos i think? So any ways to get thanatos to show up more often in my runs or do i just pray to the RNG gods
Start praying

does bp increase the spawn rate for armored foes, i'm seeing them on room 1 of aspho lol
they make some supposed normal rooms
ones with only a few armored and multiple normal ones
into sometimes just 2-3 BP'd armored foes
in Aspho, sometimes it's ALL of them
yea i def saw less enemies but early armored ones
weirdly elysium had less armored
not a single armored big chariot which was weird
true lol
also not a single chaos gate spawned😭
Oh you do not want to wish for an FO-perked Armored Chariot
Definitely, you can even have them c1 of Tartarus lol
or a teleporting Armored Chariot
I don't know how much BP affects the spawns
but i've seen Perked enemies from the very first chamber
got teleporting mini chariots
yea it was also shield so
oh
arti came in clutch with fully loaded
beowulf
such a scuffed run, no chaos boons or stones in wells
it's only scuffed to me if there's no MS
Mirage or rd make it go fine yeah
Oh nvm it was trippy flare
Yeah that was clutch lmao

just had the worst run ever luck wise (got only a few god chambers and they were ares) but stacked so much up on poms and hearts that i still won
I mean, sometimes poms are much more important than boons. what help you scale depends on your build
What's a better hammer for shield? Dashing wallop,explosive return,or Pulverize blow?
eyy I remembered!
Also first time I beat him without shield.
I didn't take any damage.
I took hits, sure, but Athena was protecting me
If zeus shield, explosive
Pulv blow is a funny atk build that is not charged shot but it can mess you up as it takes longer to put the block up
Dash wallop doesn't hurt but is not amazing
apparently EM3 Theseus's chariot's bombs can be deflected multiple times.
There is no vertical limit on how close they have to be to deflect, or bounce off the walls of the arena.
Their speed increases with every deflect.
It's so funny watching the shadow spaz around like a pinball lmao.
That is, until it's fast enough to clip past the arena walls, never to be seen again
what
is that a mirror upgrade?
what does it do
oh yeah i have that maxed
i just kept getting poms & hearts
Do you have Tight Deadlines and if so, how much time do you have left from Tartarus?
And do you have Stubborn Defiance?
If the answer is yes on both accounts you probably wanna take it. If the answer is yes on the first but no on the second, then it depends on whether you need it in terms of time.
Might as well tbh
Yeah Rd kinda good
Rare Rd strong
Eh
Big damage is big damage
What heat is this
Gaming
5x the defeats of hades on shield vs every other weapon lol
Based
Chaos go brrr
Beo go boom
I cannot get Beo to work for me 
Tbf shield dps kinda just sucks unless you get good hammers or are playing Zeus^2 lol
Or playing beo
Are you aware of the mirage shot bug
No I am not
It does 100% bonus instead of 30%
So start flood flare, find deadly strike ideally (just open the duo) and get mirage shot
Spaghetti plate goes boom
That sounds so stupid I love it
It's great lmao
If you don't want to get a duo you can use passion flare + snow burst/frost strike/Mistral dash with privileged status
The dem boons are best -> cope
how many times do you have to beat the game until persephone returns to house
10
Ten
Bugwulf kinda good
Also btw
You want to dash strike into the charges
Puts down the shield a lot faster and makes it smoother to play
Can someone help me make a build with the claws? I don't have any aspects unlocked
(For the claw)
I'm assuming fists? Claw is a different thing inthe game lol
Standard merciful end build works best but a bit high roll
dang im close
Ares attack (rare+), Athena special (only to open the duo), get the duo, get divine dash, hopefully find impending doom from ares
I just got done with distributing nectar to all the gods so I am trying to go for a focused build now
Just dash strike everything once you get ME and the dash
If you want one with less rng there's zap fists
Zeus attack, find static discharge and pom that as much as possible
You can look towards opening smoldering air or lightning rod at that point
If you want to use smoldering air, use Dionysus or Zeus call
Ok question. Is the Anvil ever worth it?
If both your hammers suck then yeah
Or if you know you're gonna need good hammer rng to win because your build sucks
More or less a last ditch effort to win the run
There's a super high heat rama run that took anvil and got good hammers out of it and won because of it lol
Imagine using Rama 
(I hate Rama)
But thanks for the info. Just figured I'd ask before I spent all my money on it
Rama is one of the strongest aspects lol
Maybe so, but I just hate the bow and Rama accentuates everything I hate about it
Do you dash strike with the bow
It charges a lot faster
Which is the main gripe a lot of people have with bow in general
Wait really?
I thought dash strike just sent a little arrow ahead
I might be a little stupid lmao
Dw you're not the first person who's done that lmao
It makes bows and especially rama s much more bearable and usable
Makes bow a top weapon in the game
Splatana stamper best weapon
Thanks for the pointer. I've won with bow once and it was HB Hera and a complete fluke lol
If you ignore the cursed res this is a good video
hunting blades hera 
That just sounds like hunting blades carrying in general lmao
It being Hera just let you stand far away and cast it
Yeah it also carried my one gun win
this one is like doubly as tall as my current one
Smh
Bro is filming on Bouldy
Hunting baldes gun?????????
Are you using lightning strike
Nope lmao
thats the issue
Yeah try that
Are you using anything GOOD
Tbf if you don't know the meta
why r u like this
Some stuff just sucks to use
Hunting Blades/j
Sorry 😞
Lmfao true
But on gun?
I mean why not
Achilles wya
It seemed like a good idea at the time
Also btw there's a build guide pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat if you ever want to read through that
From what I remember it's pretty good
Splatoon?
That should give you a good starting point
gamescon gonna have hades 2 news or what
#bot-commands
(what's gamescon)
com
Its like
Oh it's a convention lmao
Yeah
Idk who knows
yall take care
Nah Melinoe herself is gonna be there/j
No thanks
Fair
Its fun
tony moment
Real
Is bad news glitched to affect everything
yeah is treated as global dmg
somehow i got my shield putting out 2k a hit
I've gotten like 6 Tony's within the past like 30 runs
do chaos atk boons affect dashstrikes
nice
Same goes with the self-damage ones iirc
Dangit
Died to Theseus after getting him out of the chariot and taking care of Bullman (losing all 3 dd's in the process)
valid, it's a hard fight
I've done 740 escape attempts, and I just learned that the elysian shield enemy's projectile attack goes through walls...
(It killed me in the butterfly ball room because of this)
Noooo
hi
frick that enemy
that and the satyrs
I hate the shield mfs so much
All of the soldiers suck but especially the shields
yea, their respawn mechanic is a pain in the butt
I love it as a gimmick, but they're so difficult if you're trying to go fast.
did u know
Doubly so the shield ones.
for the purposes of counting alive enemies
blue men are considered alive for 3 seconds after death
blue men?
Ah yes
Don't forget the spear guys - who always catch me off guard with how much range they have.
just kill them
solid advice
you blind and the spear exalteds will just jump through your screen and stab your chair from behind
Okay so
Is this a good place to ask for a file/vid of hades' laugh when you fail erebus
For soundboard reasons
Thanks i was able to finish the run with this
modding discord is probably better
wow RNGesus loves me today, I haven't even fought the 1st boss and I already have ares's legendary with engulfing vortex
here's hoping I'll get hunting blades, now
vicious cycle isn't useless
i mean sure if u don't get hunting blades
oh i didn't know that
I think it does the job decent enough
it does the job of lowering your dps
Being imprevious during it still means you can just pop it to get a chunk of safe damage in
why not use athena then
She doesn't always show up
Between ares and athena i choose athena
But sometimes she isn't here and i don't wanna go for the keepsake + using up all my persuasions to force the game to give me the call
id rather just actually deal damage
I like the safety of it
It's damage dealt with no downside
Because I'm not trying to speedrun, so taking health away without any risks is decent in my book
I didn't say ares was better than most other calls
Apho greater call is 2500 dmg instanty
That's a nice chunk
Explain /gen
dem:
Wait-
Holy crud, it's basically a guarenteed hit Meg that recharges
Oh
Ohhhh
Okay but
Hear me out
Lower dps against dad means music lasts longer
Therefore good
just pause for 3 minutes
Not as fun
Nah, run away and hide lightning rod strats
Which icon is that?
Gotcha 🙂
Lol
which area is easiest area to complete? the great hall or the west hall?
I feel like both are equally as expensive without looking for maffs
death slide
is there some hammer that messes up hestia's dmg?
no
I have aphro on the primary but idk something feels off
what is damage number
sounds fine
one sec
i have chaos undmg foes 58%, and at least 18% from piercing butterfly
oh and I pommed my primary to lvl 20
what level is your hestia
just one lvl away from max
what rarity
jesus christ
doesn't feel a lot for some reason
400 sounds reasonable though
it's actually 526 a hit
yea
i just did an atk
something around there
cool cool
hmm cool cool
yup
i think so
I just pommed the primary a heck lot by getting pos + aphro duo boon
I accidentally took of piercing in after asphodel
otherwise I might have had higher dmg number
but thanks anywasy
piercing isnt bad on hestia
yeah that's what i figured, since it wud hit multiple targets
Finally I can chat. There is a timer right when you join that’s 10 minutes. Which I don’t know why. Also hades is hands down the best action rpgs I’m going to start getting back into it last time I played I think was 2020
rpg?
It’s a role playing game ?
it's a roguelite
is it roguelike or roguelite
roguelite
roguelikes are super boring
if u wanna try one google dungeon crawl stone soup
99% are based on tolkien stuff
and they're all turn based
ascii but not text based
dcss is in the modern day the most popular rogue like i believe
it’s like such a different ecosystem than any other genre
because it’s basically a load of nerds who play it
so there a lot of games are forks of other games
and there are branches all coming off of the original rogue
there’s also like
tome
Thanatos hasn't shown up in 4 runs!
I still need his companion :(
This Asphodel run:
1 hammer
1 hermes
2 shops
2 silver laurels
1 chaos
and 1 singular normal god boon at the start. I didn't get my keepsake's god because I assumed they'd show up later next to a god I want less
yooo finally
Why can't you get aphro/art duo using call :(
Probably because Aphro call is charm, not weak
Just like arti dash doesn't do it
Sometimes there s rhyme or reason. If you want to complain, complain about only athena attack and special working for ME and DR
ME and sea storm were a direct nerf at least
DR prob just got caught in the crossfire
Artemis call can crit
Does not work
What are sea storm's?
Removed tidal dash from opening it
Every run I pick crystal beam I'm sad that chilling beam doesn't count for chill-synergy boons
if you want chill stacks, the best is always cast builds with the dash
but i'd rather not use dem dash
Ig tidal sea storm is good but it's no supersoaker
Nah it's pretty nice
Pray harder to the rng gods
does explosive return on chaos trigger multiple times or just once?
chaos shield 
what did u use
The plume I think
Build in #h1-victory-boasting
does sturdy stack
No it does not
You guys prefer to play on pc or switch ?
Switch bc it's easier to control. Less splitting between the keyboard and mouse
pc
u can still play controller on pc
but you can mod and also play the game in 768x1024
Playing the game in 768x1024 is not a fair argument but you could do that if you want
Hades works pretty well on a potato tbf
How bad is yours
Ten years old
my computer was good for Hades but started lagging a few months ago
I suspect an overheating issue
well, there were a bunch of issues, but I fixed them (drivers, GPU not being used because windows suck, etc) so overheating is the most obvious thing left to fix
I wish I knew someone who could clean my laptop u_u I don't want to buy all the tools and do it myself and maybe screw something up
also lazy
mainly lazy
mod question but does anyone with olympusextra know how to unlock hestia's last heart?
try the modding server pinned in #self-promotion
I actually prefer keyboard and mouse. I tried controller once and I don't know how you're supposed to dash strike with it when your target isn't in the same direction that you're dashing.
Besides me just being used to knm in general.
can i get help in this channel
didnt find any other appropriate channel
anyways
ik that there is a secret boss fight with charon, it said that i need to beat the game once, and i already did, then i need to borrow the money from him
which is 22% spawn rate ig
but i beaten the game like 7 times now and never saw it
discord is dying
Sorry internet was weird
no, its discord
yea its discord
Oh so it was discord 
ya
It can only spawn on the midshops so be sure to visit all of them
Other than that pray harder
Nope
thought maybe cuz i had maxed out the relationship with him i cant fight him
kinda dumb but was the only thing i could think of
sure
lol
i always thought skelly had something going on
when i found out there is a secret boss he was one of the ones i was suspicuos of
Lol
A Skelly boss would be so cool
||he does have some relationship with charon anyways||
Mhm
fr he's not tanky enough for me
ok i found it, probably i didnt notice it
there is a reason he doesnt hit back
sheeesh
||vip card ||
i lost all my death defiances tho
i doubt it will be of use
unless i can get that guy to replenish all of them
Buy the dds back
dds?
Death defiance
oh
already died
any idea how many darkness needed to max out the mirror?
tried to search for it couldntl find anyhting helpful
idr need it its almost maxed
just wanna know
You forged a bond with him
o thats adorable
It happens with all the keepsakes
there's also a little epiteth under the keepsake's effect on the right
it's usually very cute
i need to get gud
just post link
i dont think it would world still
it does
CUTEEEEE
Why he lookin at me like dat
hes mad at u
i could fit him in my mouth
Uhhh
yeah…
I could fit him somewhere else
whats the medium number of encounters in a run? ( im doing the keepsakes achievement )
thx
skip midshops, chaos, and story rooms to really get the most
with the keepsakes achievement I thought it was the max them all one
how
do u reset immediately after gifting bouldy
i’ve been steadily gaining and i gift bouldy every time
maybe i reset more in tart
or do u take key over nectar
boonless runs are so hard
second run in a row that dies in styx because of no 2-sacks 
fauth boonless 
Blood and darkness
I forgot fated authority was a thing
I even thought "damn, my fated persuasion tokens are useless on this run huh"
don’t use for boonless
pers lets u avoid getting bricked
wdym by getting bricked
like ur forced into a screen of boons u have to use
happens a lot with ares
curse of agony battle rage urge to kill
probably doesn’t matter if ur just going for like the in game dialogue
but if u want an eligible run for boards
ah, no, I just want the ingame dialogue for funsies
Didn't even know there were boonless speedruns tbh
i held mirrorless boonless heat wr
for 4 hours
and then that one guy came and pushed it some
and then had to do school
and then angel did like 50 and that was that 
any info when hades next sale pls?
it’ll go on sale on february 29 2021

approval process just crossed out zeus legendary
its guaranteed to get a boon of a specific god if i have his keepsake right?
Past certain story events yeah
If you want to be really specifc, you can miss on your god keepsake god
See: skiping it's door a bit too many times in aspho
and sometimes you might get a hammer or hermes instead but theyll show up soon
Hermes can also arrive faster than the other gods in aspho (with a special voiceline included)
simply outsped
is it really worth it to enter all chaos gates?
Mostly yeah
Depends in how comfortable you are with hp/how close you are to the boss/etc etc
Oh

my dash is useless now
Why are you using ruthless reflex
its bad?
i didnt plan on getting those boons
