Low enough heat

can u take mom pom in more than one biome

#

??

stone rune
#

but once you use it and then switch off you can’t switch back

rustic thicket
#

cool

sudden patrol
#

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

sour fog
#

Theseus EM3 is the least annoying part of Elysium when talking about FO2 I would say

uneven cloak
#

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

sour fog
#

do a tokyo drift around him

raw herald
#

i dont bother

#

its a pretty niche trick

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)

formal citrus
#

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

formal citrus
#

Getting the infinite ammo hammer on Eris (what was the name?) Was a finger workout. Esp with epic greater reflex

royal warren
#

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

formal citrus
#

For fists, your e aware you can hold attack, right?

royal warren
#

Would that be a sufficient reason to not use a rapid-attack macro on sword/spear/shield?..

formal citrus
#

?

#

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?

royal warren
#

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)

formal citrus
#

Dash strike to dash upper esp with ME I could see being the most useful

#

Timing that one is still difficult for me

royal warren
#

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

stone rune
#

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

#

Does non MM doomstone actually have an attack?

formal citrus
#

Like when it slams down on you?

stone rune
#

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

mint coral
#

Is this a joke on how you kill it so fast dusa

#

It's attacks are the lasers + kil crystals

oh it does a laser

Doomstone so goated for em4

because ive played it like 3 times total

#

If you have enough lil crystals when dad does the 2nd set of summons he won't be able to summon mini bosses

formal citrus
#

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.

mint coral
#

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

formal citrus
#

Slammers are kind of the best option even if not running acorn. But with it, no competitopn

formal citrus
stone rune
#

why

formal citrus
#

Oh your e doing heat

latent moon
#

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

latent moon
#

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

stone rune
#

it stays up for at least a few chambers

latent moon
#

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

wanton spire

is there way to know current room from the safe file?

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!

wind mesa
#

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

we can stack doom right? also does it have an upper limit like dio's hangover?

mint coral

bouldy 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

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

prob gonna lose but oh well

formal citrus
#

Hopefully you have a braid

sudden patrol
#

damn i died

sudden patrol
#

but i got him down to less than half health on his final stage, and it was at 19 heat

formal citrus
#

What aspect?

sudden patrol
#

hera

#

so not bad i think, i just nuked him with my casts every so often. i just am bad at dodging lol

formal citrus
#

Good time to have level 14 heroic crush. Was it rate crop or eury?

sudden patrol
#

got it crazy early on

#

it was a great run but im pretty bad with dodging

formal citrus
#

Apparently rare crop is bugged to make hera casts do a variable amount of damage unfortunately

sudden patrol
#

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

formal citrus
#

9:38, 42, at 400 some thing runs (and some giving up so even more than that runs)

stone rune
#

i have some number of runs in the thousands

#

maybe ten thousands

#

idk

i dont want to know how many attempts i have

#

1 in 1200

and then

#

Chiron by no means is the best but is the safest for new players like me

#

At least relatively new ones

stone rune
#

hestia

dense lotus
#

Rama is an excellent damage aspect tho

stone rune
#

the range of the shot literally goes off the screen

formal citrus
#

Wait does hestia first shot have more range than normal gun?

stone rune
#

i think it's 50% more

The by 150 percentage

#

150%*

#

I think

#

What do u guys play it in

the issue with the safety of chiron is that your enemies are also very safe

it's like

25 to 50

ok yea 50 sounds right

formal citrus
stone rune
#

increased to 150%

#

definitely not over doubled

dense lotus
#

Oh maybe ur right then

stone rune
#

but it's very large

dense lotus
#

Yh I think it was 150% of of shot not +150%

formal citrus
#

Neat

#

Didn't know its range was increased at all but I probably should have noticed.

dense lotus
#

It makes it safer for high heat runs

#

I just can’t get used to it tho

formal citrus
#

I still due to REDACTED all the time with it. Otherwise it feels alright for me

stone rune
#

hestia makes dad pretty shrimple

#

on em3

formal citrus
#

There be the catch

stone rune
#

em4 it should still be fine

#

unless you're at the heats where you actually have to take it

formal citrus
#

Yep, just not for me

stone rune
#

cause at high heat hestia stops doing that thing where you kill the enemies with rapidity

formal citrus
#

Fo2 doesn't help

stone rune
#

hestia deals fine with fo2

formal citrus
stone rune
#

ive only done hestia em4 once

#

it was my 100th run and i did like

#

I'd for me

#

hl5 em4 cp2 fo2

#

to get super superdad

#

#

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

formal citrus
#

My highest streak is like 14 lol

stone rune
#

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

formal citrus
#

Lol

stone rune
#

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

formal citrus
#

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?

formal citrus
#

Dio

#

Not beo

#

Whoops

#

I still can't do beo heat except with festive and special spam

twin thistle
#

mirage floodflare just oneshots everything and you arent as chaos reliant

formal citrus
#

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

latent moon
#

It can if you get enough chaos bonuses lmao

#

and good wells

#

And rd

formal citrus
#

How do you rd on beo?

#

And in general is dashing right after you launch stuff an adequate way to get hd?

latent moon
#

Cshot helps but yeah

formal citrus
#

Beo and rama and maybe even hera you can just dash after releasing?

latent moon
#

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

formal citrus
#

Oh, dash always overrides a held attack?

#

Makes sense. Just never thought about it. Probably have done it lots. Esp with hera

twin thistle
#

i just play the same whether i have rd or not because i spam dash anyways

latent moon
#

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

formal citrus
#

Though I did just get my highest heat with it so shrug

bright sentinel
#

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

stone rune
#

it’s a very fast aspect

bright sentinel
#

it's slower than the other shields to charge up or even attack

#

i don't mean that the damage is low

stone rune
#

sure

bright sentinel
#

damage was certainly good

stone rune
#

but it kills everything very quickly

#

you just have to change your approach

it turns hades into a sort of puzzle game

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

mint coral
#

Armored foes spawn earlier with bp iirc

#

So yeah

uneven cloak
#

you see them in Tart alreadu

#

I'm guessing BP2 makes it more prominent

rose roost
#

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😭

uneven cloak
latent moon
uneven cloak
#

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

rose roost
#

got teleporting mini chariotsbouldy

#

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

uneven cloak
#

it's only scuffed to me if there's no MS

mint coral
#

Mirage or rd make it go fine yeah

#

Oh nvm it was trippy flare

#

Yeah that was clutch lmao

rose roost
pliant crane
#

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

upper wolf
#

I mean, sometimes poms are much more important than boons. what help you scale depends on your build

wispy sinew
#

What's a better hammer for shield? Dashing wallop,explosive return,or Pulverize blow?

white path
#

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

mint coral
white path
#

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

pliant crane
#

what

#

is that a mirror upgrade?

#

what does it do

#

oh yeah i have that maxed

#

i just kept getting poms & hearts

buoyant harbor
#

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.

latent moon
#

Might as well tbh

latent moon
#

Yeah Rd kinda good

#

Rare Rd strong

#

Eh

#

Big damage is big damage

#

What heat is this

#

Chaos go brrr

latent moon
#

Beo go boom

meager basalt
#

I cannot get Beo to work for me bouldy

latent moon
#

Tbf shield dps kinda just sucks unless you get good hammers or are playing Zeus^2 lol

#

Or playing beo

latent moon
meager basalt
#

No I am not

latent moon
#

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

meager basalt
#

That sounds so stupid I love it

latent moon
#

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

pliant crane
#

how many times do you have to beat the game until persephone returns to house

latent moon
#

10

meager basalt
#

Ten

latent moon
#

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

meager basalt
#

That makes sense

#

I hate how slow Beo's attack is

tribal wing
#

Can someone help me make a build with the claws? I don't have any aspects unlocked

#

(For the claw)

latent moon
#

I'm assuming fists? Claw is a different thing inthe game lol

tribal wing
#

I mean yeah, they look like claws xD

#

Fists it is

latent moon
#

Standard merciful end build works best but a bit high roll

pliant crane
latent moon
#

Ares attack (rare+), Athena special (only to open the duo), get the duo, get divine dash, hopefully find impending doom from ares

tribal wing
#

I just got done with distributing nectar to all the gods so I am trying to go for a focused build now

latent moon
#

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

meager basalt
#

Ok question. Is the Anvil ever worth it?

latent moon
#

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

meager basalt
#

Imagine using Rama bouldy

#

(I hate Rama)

#

But thanks for the info. Just figured I'd ask before I spent all my money on it

latent moon
meager basalt
#

Maybe so, but I just hate the bow and Rama accentuates everything I hate about it

latent moon
#

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

meager basalt
#

Wait really?

latent moon
#

Yeah

#

Practice it on skelly

meager basalt
#

I thought dash strike just sent a little arrow ahead

latent moon
#

Kinda becomes a rhythm game

#

Hold it lol

#

You can power shot it

crystal star
#

Hold shoot after you dash

#

Dont let go immediately

meager basalt
#

I might be a little stupid lmao

crystal star
#

Nah reeallllly

#

Also

latent moon
#

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

crystal star
#

Splatana stamper best weapon

meager basalt
#

Thanks for the pointer. I've won with bow once and it was HB Hera and a complete fluke lol

latent moon
#

If you ignore the cursed res this is a good video

stone rune
#

hunting blades hera bouldy

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?

sword guys

shield guys

Ah yes

Don't forget the spear guys - who always catch me off guard with how much range they have.

oh i didn't know that

stone rune

and none on slicing flare

works fine on call but ares call sucks

rustic thicket
#

oh well

vocal sequoia
stone rune
#

it does the job of lowering your dps

vocal sequoia
#

Being imprevious during it still means you can just pop it to get a chunk of safe damage in

stone rune
#

why not use athena then

vocal sequoia
#

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

stone rune
#

id rather just actually deal damage

vocal sequoia
#

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

meager shuttle
#

Aphro

#

It barely works

#

In my experience anyway

basic one

but aphro's bonus is 176%

why would it feel off

that sounds on to me

rustic thicket

doesn't feel a lot for some reason

400 sounds reasonable though

it's actually 526 a hit

#

yea

rustic thicket
#

i just did an atk

something around there

rustic thicket

it probably depends on first vs second hit

if u have fiery and assault

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

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

it's a roguelite

devout coyote

I’m unsure what your asking

#

Oh my bad. I get it confused with some other games

royal widget
#

is it roguelike or roguelite

stone rune
#

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

uneven cloak
#

well that is very old school

#

considering Rogue is like....what, text based?

stone rune
#

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

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

white path
#

Why can't you get aphro/art duo using call :(

ionic hemlock
#

Probably because Aphro call is charm, not weak

formal citrus
#

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

DR prob just got caught in the crossfire
