Probably
HE IS A TRICKSTER
i hate normies sometimes
Why are we talking abt this in #h1-discussion
btw wht ur fav myth based yt channel
apollo and hyacinthus...
yep, this conversation is better to continue in #off-topic-discussion 
Thanks
what if i can link pjo to hades?
Well, it’s greek myth, conversations about them will be somewhat linked in this context
so no/
Still, it’s about Percy Jackson :P
aight fair nough
There’s also #books-and-comics
BP2 needs to stop givijgnme the js clone
More clones got it
Me “oh I’ll just do a nice crit focused zag bow run”
Full god pool of Aphro, Ares, Pos & dem by sisters
None of it was optional

3:20 tart exit is on wr pace right
Just create a way too specific category and sure
Zag bow 32 heat w/ this specific god pool
ez
I just realised I turned em3 instead of like mm and uc
we’ll see how that goes
Trying to figure whether I force arte anyways or I roll with my current pool
Think I might grab arte anyways
Chaos is offering HS for dash strike damage 
Guess I’ll take it and just not touch the magma
And then I died to my own hubris
stubborn defiance gaming 
imagine dying in a regular chamber lol - DD gang
@echo scaffold #h1-for-new-players message
Since we’re talking about stuff that is a spoiler in new players
Or actually I guess we can stay in new players
Nah it's fine
Just use || these around you message to spoiler things||
It tanks your max hp, makes the entire moveset a bit heavier
And makes your spin throw out a lifestealing beyblade
Is it worth it?
Yes
How much lifesteal?
A flat amount
Also is the beyblade act like Ares cast?
And the spin isn’t really what gets focused on for the majority of higher tier use
A little
I'll check it out
1hp per hit
Oh yeah that
It has built in pierce and big damage
That's how I got my first clear
Isn’t it 2 at max spin
Twas kinda free
Is it?
It's 1
So you slap on charged launcher and just have a 1 hammer nuke arrow
I have the wiki
I could’ve sworn it was 2 at max charge but I’m misremembering ig
Charged skewer gy is basically a glass cannon
Glass cannon rama
Does it work with quick spin?
Yes
Hmm
There's also the 60 heat massive spin athena attack run lol
I could take triple now, or perfect shot and hold out for twin
Idk if I want to play melee bow with em3 on
Triple on zag bow is fun
Hopefully
I have athena in pool at this point
Now I just pray that parting shot doesn’t get in the way of HR and DR odds
Tf when you mess up with SD and now you have to intentionally get hit to reset it
I don’t have the right distance from the furies to properly shotgun them without getting hit back 
This is why I like twin more
Bruh Than giving me the heart just messed up my audio que for fishing
I took flurry because it was the best option for hammer 2 but goodness do I remember now why I don’t like it
It feels so much less satisfying
Something about powershotting just feels right
And flurry takes that away
Mind you it’s fine on hera and chiron
not on Zag though
With Hera I’m too focused on casting because it’s not second nature for me yet
So flurry helps
whats the requirement to complete any of the sisyphus/ orpheus/ achilles quests
Work orders pop up for them
eventually
this comes from dialogue with
nyx
I believe.
It’s been a while
i only done sisyphus and orheus rn and progressing on achilles quests
u do runs and talk with nyx,meg and hades i think
needed dialogue pops out after talking them about the matter after a while
u go to administrative chamber and it pops out to buy in contractor
lmao i killed a miniboss and zagreus said " ugh, that thing " inmediately while i got an aphrodite blessing
imagine if she heard that
So who's everyone's favorite and least favorite gods to get boons from?
I think Athena is probably my #1. Not sure who I'd put as my least favorite. I know a lot of people say Demeter but I actually quite like the freezing debuffs for attack/special/dash and also the crystal cast
when i see demeter i die inside a little bit and when i see zeus it gives me a little high regardless of my build or aspect
Honestly, my least favorite might be Zeus??? Idk the lightning stuff has never been that great imo. Also not huge on Poseidon bc I use Talos Fists a ton and it's really annoying when I pull in enemies and my boon pushes them away immediately.
I die when I see ares most of the time
Ngl, after doing a bit more thinking
Maybe Dionysus is my least favorite?
Which hurts because he's one of my favorites in terms of personality and character design
Artemis is 1 and dem is last for me
did i get a 2% bonus on everything or?
i don't 😭
its up for interpretation
😭
It has another meaning
i Didnt know even this existed lol
Does anyone know that maths behind call charge?
i think it counts based on hits and not based on damage dealt...?
Nope
Hits matter more
But damage factors in to an extent
large hits will chunk the bar a bit more then a small hit but faster hits typically prevails
iirc
yeah i also heard that somewhere
Favorite would be ares and least would be Zeus
favourite is athena, and dio's the worst in that preference tierlist.
Lowest is def pos unless I’m darkness farming
Or ig if I’m using beo
Tdash is based
splash dash isn't real 
it goes like
divine dash though
But most of the builds I’ve been playing recently have needed ddash or
a different dash
100%
mirage???
pride???
cod and blizzard
I directly recognize the ZAP users 
But I find myself quite a bit w/ my more recent builds taking dashes to fill duos
i dont think ive completed more than 1 non beo run this month
ZAP dash is unbelievably based, as someone who used sword often enough 

But imagine having a dash that is interchangable with a t1 boon
even I as a poseidon sword enjoyer I dislike picking zeus dash
that should tell you how bad it is
?
This makes no sense to me
Also my prior statement was a joke about the zap dash sword bug
actually ive only cleared 10 runs this month
poseidon sword has LP as a possible strategy, and one of the possible prereqs is zeus dash
Yeah…
and?
It’s not like I say I dislike taking zap cast on zeus shield for smair builds
even though zap cast is a prereq for smair
because 90% of aspects would just rather have zeus on a different core
Like sword would nab lightning strike
And then prereq is met
idk many aspects of rod do well with zeus cast
arthur or chiron to name two
my point being
Just because a boon has a prereq
Doesn’t mean you should enjoy taking that prereq because you build it
idk I play merciful end both ways around

I wouldn’t say “oh I don’t like taking ares special on zag rail, even though I play ME”
Because it’s not even in the question
There are just different options to put it on
I’ve lost my own plot
Anyways
I’m kind of just sitting here without a build in mind
The game didn’t want to give me spreadfire for shackle zag rail
So I’m thinking a different build might be a good thing
Oh I’ve got inspiration
Bad inspiration
Thank you TheGamer
The perfect Lucifer build is now within my grasp
Honestly whoever let TheGamer cook with Hades builds needs to be fired
I just found the article and it has more builds for other weapons
full athena luci 
Yeah lets just tell them every pos boon and then a dash from a different god and a duo… and then a dash from a third god just because.
Oh guess what’s directly after full Athena Luci
“These are some of the best Hades builds for every weapon.”

“Boons hardly matter with this weapon, but Athena’s buffs are solid - they basically mean you can melt or deflect every projectile that comes your way, allowing you to be offensive and defensive at the same time.”
That’s what they said about Luci
Ty thegamer
“However, if you can get Boons from Demeter and Dionysus you’ll increase your healing potential and overall survivability, meaning that as long as you balance aggression with evasion, you’ll be able to put down enough damage to annihilate mobs before they can touch you.” -notes on GY
Wait wait wait

“The Eternal Spear is an excellent hybrid weapon, but one of Hades’ most difficult Infernal Arms to master. To be honest, all of its Aspects are good, but if you want to be an expert you’ll need the hidden Aspect of Guan Yu.”

this almost looks written by AI
“You’ve got a lot of options for Boons here, but if you can get Poseidon knockback Boons with Ares’ Doom buffs, you’ll be able to mitigate incoming attacks while relying on ongoing Doom damage to slowly incapacitate your enemies.”
-on Beowulf

AI could pull off guides from actual players so it'll probably end up better 
please stop, my singular braincell is hurting
So uh
If you’re lucky enough to find a Daedalus Hammer with Explosive Shot or Triple Shot - which increase damage and the number of projectiles fired, respectively - every single mob in the Underworld becomes an absolute breeze.

Hold on hold on
triple + explosive on bow is a good heat option, so they have a point
I’m going to destroy this singular braincell
“However, the Stygian Blade’s strongest form is Aspect of Arthur, which provides you with a heavy attack designed to increase damage output within a certain radius.”

good night world, this comment was too much for me to handle
The Stygian Blade is the first weapon you unlock in Hades. It’s pretty reliable, dealing consistent damage and having a decent amount of control in terms of how you want to engage your opponent, but two of its forms stand high above the rest.
The first is its Aspect of Poseidon, which allows you to dislodge Cast shards from your opponents by attacking them. If you combine this with Artemis’ Boons - specifically Exit Wounds, which deals 100 damage per dislodged shard - you can rack up astronomical amounts of damage, with bosses becoming far easier to handle.
dw that’s the last line
Oh
Turns out there’s a “complete Hades guide and walkthrough”
Shall we take a gander there as well
NO
What should I buildv?
play freshfile uh I mean do a routine inspection 4 run
(the latter is pretty free ngl)
that doesn’t exactly answer my question
RI4 by itself maybe
anyways what am I cooking with
I mean, for the former the build is pretty obvious
For the latter though
My last run was ME
not exactly trying to do it again
always the option of doing some random arthur run or whatever
hera or rama if you're into that
Any work I’m just lacking inspiration
Hera but with lightning rod 
(my braincell has embraced the build stupidity, sorry about this)
My controls should probably be changed for hera but
I’m so used to regular play
There isn’t a button that feels right to remap cast to but I can’t have my thumb control dash, attack and cast
Muscle memory is hard
Do you aim for 1 or 2 casts / dash strike?
I can’t imagine hitting more
That TheGamer article singlehandedly demonstrates why you should pay attention in school, especially English >.<
Yeah but that's because most stuff dies on 1-2 casts
If I have more I'll load enough to kill whatever I'm shooting
Mechanically speaking I don’t think I can hit cast more than twice before I shoot off my dstrike
it just feels unnatural
My thumb just won’t
Maybe that’ll come w/ time
I’m typically loading from the start of the dstrike to the dfiring so maybe I should be loading earlier?
no cast buuld is good
FO2 Tis
tf was that
why’ve I never had this issue before
Time to make my pact like a psycho
other meaning you say?
Btw Ambiguity bonus literally just increases your ambiguity by 2%
is that randomised hk profile?
“Ok I’m about to pop my sd to poison I guess I’ll kill them”
Room clear w/ 1 hp and sd remaining
Classic
evergreen acorn or skelly tooth?
In my case it was cuz of heaven's vengeance 
What should I try to do I just completed 32 skulls
The big sleeker on hydra was annoying
Do it again on a different aspect
Get consistent at it
And then shoot straight for 40
no be a slow but chad person and go for 47/45
1.04444444 heat doesn’t exist last I checked
Then my 40 heat would’ve been done by now
idk man
just like ignore all the stupid restrictions I put on myself when I was running 40 heat
🗿
the only environment where 40 heat is significantly harder than 32 is speedrunning
32 sub6 is free while 40 heat sub6 is the most painful experience imaginable
… is one step away from idk man as
someone with
about 10 miliseconds in the game
i can confidently say that geometry dash is better
Like why can’t zag jump? Clearly inferior game
Zag should've been in Among Us Indie Collab... 
Merry christmast supergiant and hades fans
Zag can jump to place arthur special
But apparently he still takes lava damage while in the air
Dash nova is a pretty significant jump
Also I think the guan Yu standing strike combo has a jump
Yeah but it's sad it's only visual
I died to lernie a few times because I thought the jump would stop the lava damage
And it’s a very graceful one
Zagreus pulling up the ballerina jumps mid fight
and dies violently
The meaning is unclear
What’s the fastest way to get diamonds?
Hydra won't like this
If u beat hades at least one time,with heat level u gain more dia,titan blood etc
but first u have to beat the heat u chose so u can gain from other heat level
There is shop in front of zags room too u can trade 10 nectar to a diamond
basically killing hydra everytime with heat level or trade or u can do fated list in zag's room there are some things reguire u to do excange of dia
HK sprite with references to many of my favorite games built in. Try to spot them all :]
I only see zags sword and hk can't tell others sorry lol
The what?
no ?
oh
where did you get nova from ? 
why is the special called nova smash
special was called nova smash 😭
the sword's proper name is the Stygian Blade
that's like saying the name of the protagonist is "cast" because it's one of your attacks x)
oh
But you can just call it the sword
whats the best aspect of the stygian blade
Stygius's best aspect is nemesis
nemesis is generally regarded as the best one
Nice, sped up armored 40% tight deadline chariot in elysium is fair and balanced nice one supergiant games
crits go brrr
special gives 3 secs of chance to crit?
yep
is that it
sometimes the simplest bonus is the best
cool
guaranteed crits is big
indeed, now wait 'til you see tartarus fast splitters witches
Thanatos spawns 3 thats nice
what are the best daedalus hammer enchantments on the stygian blade
double edge and breaching slash are nice
double edge and then whatever strikes your fancy other than hoarding slash and huhhh a special hammer I forgot
lunge nova or something ? Idr
hoarding slash and cursed slash are the two hammers i'd never take
yeah
cursed slash is one with upside and downside, sometimes the upside is worth it but most of the time it isn't
world splitter on nemesis is entertaining because it basically turns you into weird budget arthur
idk with more than 1 dash you end up not even using the regular strike anyways
2+dash sword combo (except arthur) is special -> dashstrike (x how many dashes you have)
counterpoint: i enjoy standing in one place and clicking to watch the cool combo animations
i never said world splitter nemesis was 'good'
i said it was 'entertaining'
am I talking to a thrust user
yes, but also see above
i am a thrust user
congratulations on fulfilling my expectation that someone would come in and bring up the optimal sword approach though
unintentional though
yw yw 
world splitter on zagsword is great
i don't think i've ever used a zag aspect once ever since unlocking other aspects
zaggun with spread fire is amazing
and significantly different from the other aspects
kinda melee weap
yeah i should give the zag weapons more of a chance
i haven't even put any titan blood into them yet lmao
ROOM 8 EXCLUSIVE ACCESS LET'S GO
Wasn't fishing for it
What is supposedly the most broken things you can do with that?
hyper delivery
Well, we're all fishing for that...
I mean, something more like Zeus double strike and other stuff
rarity only rly matter on hermes chaos and doom i think
anything else should be fine with poms
Tbh I never really understood the "rarity doesn't matter" thing
Like sure you could 'manage' when only having common boons or somesuch
But I don't think anyone could seriously make the argument that a common Aphrodite strike is just as good as an epic one
(To use Aphrodite strike as an example)
that was one of the boons i was thinking of adding to the list
otherwise other stuff should be alright
Secondary effects, everything you sell is making you money
Well aphrodite strike is just what immediately popped into my head
There's never a situation where you would want to have a common boon over an epic or whatever
yeah but theres not always a reason to roll a common boon for an epic one
Low damage stuff
such as ?
dio, zeus attack
but assuming it's a boon you want, then no one's gonna turn their nose up at having it be epic instead of common
i never said that or implied that
maybe, but that's the impression i always get whenever someone says "rarity doesn't matter"
rarity doesnt matter as much*
if what you mean is that "rarity is not a thing worth bending over backwards for when it's a good boon anyway", then sure, i can agree with that
Rarity do matter when you are using very high damage multiplicative
That 3 difference become a fierce 72 later
I mean at least in my opinion, even with things like zeus or dionysus strike, rarity still helps a lot
+15 damage rather than +10 damage on every single attack with something like fists really adds up
the majority of the boons you get cast, dash (except tdash) aid etc doesnt really care about rarity at all
Exactly
especially dio strike pomssscale linearly so you can just add 2 poms to make up for it
but if you got an epic dionysus strike from the start, that makes you less reliant on poms because you don't have to 'make up' for anything in the first place
yes
that doesnt contradict what i said about rarity not mattering much
it does matter a bit but not much
and in the context of exclusive access dio strike wouldnt be the first thing you think of ' ooh now i can get epic dio strike'
well, i guess all i can say is that mattering a bit is much different from not mattering at all
and yes, i am aware that is not what you yourself said
but again, the "rarity doesn't matter" thing always throws me for a loop when i hear it
well yeah at this point i'm just speaking about rarity in general

||

The gods like me today
Don't use your special for 3 chamber and get +1 life
I'm using Beo
I'm god chosen one today
So far we have
Chamber 8 exclusive acces
+1 live with easy condition
Rush Delivery
Blood Frenzy
Last Chamber give the choice to purge exclusive acces for lots of money
And now I'm choosing double pom between Athena's Aid and Trippy Flare Lv. 6
Also, Beo Mirage Shot
||possible doom: clicking give up instead of quit to save||
Athena call poms aren't good
And you aren't charging fast enough with beo anyways
For darkness farming, do you just grab Poseidon at the start and hope for Chaos? I'm guessing you also want Favor and Pride in mirror, anything else you can do to increase the amounts?
Take Poseidon in Aspho
At the start take something to get a solid build so the run doesn’t take you 40 minutes
shouldn't I run 0 heat though? you can do that with anything
why em2
Lernie heads spawn closer
huh
Non-em lernie arena is biiiig
I wouldn't have ever thought about that
true
alright thanks guys, I'll see you in a year when I'm done with resource director
I tried darkness farming for 2 runs
Before giving up because it's unfun
Now I'm just speedrunning normally instead
Trying to get sub10 IGT on every aspect
... Currently stuck on arthur
darkness gonna end up useless at some point after maxing the mirror after all
İ think it gives u 100-150 darkness every time u clear the boss previously cleared i remember
It takes a long time to make darkness useless
@stiff obsidian how many hours do you have in Hades rn
I know you got unseen one recently
Ohh okay
Just forgot about that
I spent most of my hours playing heat so I almost never cleared, I'm not the right person to ask tbh
Either way
You got to 325k darkness
So how long did that take you?
We can take it as the extreme
If we compare it to someone actively darkness farming
Assuming 500 afk hours I have 950 hours
Why do you have that many afk hours
I don't close game after playing usually
500 is a guess, not an estimate, it could be the other way around for all i know
Hello
You should go to #server-roles and get your roles
Got it
Welcome!
so i had 12 hours on steam playing hades right?
and then i got the biggest crush on hypnos
like 3 days ago
now i have 40 hours on hades

that one's cursed
How
Dusa ♡

Hi
Hello
My friend said that they wanna punch that emoji
Me too
amazing!
I'm in the middle of a fight with Tisiphone rn lmao
Good luck
Ty
Yw!!
is the one dash thing from the mirror actually good?
It's used for Gilgamesh and very high heat shield for dps
Other than that it sees no use
oh, didn't know about high heat shield
scratch uses it for high heat fists stuff 
doesnt very high heat shield just use ri3 instead of rr

Block kinda good lmao
You can kinda get away with not having a second dash because of bull rush
why havent i gained poseidons favor? i done the 25 fish prophecy so the 18 requirement is done, i got a fish rn if not multiple
talk to him more, you mightve gotten a different dialogue blocking the favor
and also you need to not talk to him before getting the fish i think
since dialogue only appears on gifting, shop, trial, and first pickup
oh cuz wiki says it can be from a prior run
well that also works i think, but if poseidon's not giving generic dialogue, then keep talking
Yeah is just rng issue
i kinda dont like rng because of characters not being at home
or not saying something important
but i also like it
because it kinda gives it more realism
mfw I have to farm my grandma to get cookies (I need to exhaust her pool from all the racism)
i'm trying to do hypnos' favor and i can't seem to be able to talk to thanatos? like the dialogue doesn't get initiated thanatos just keeps talking about other stuff
The wonders of rng
oh boy i sure hope this character talks to me about the current situation important to the lore
the character: hey i like that new weapon you are using
What does the Arthur sword actually do
press special, deploy aura that slows down enemies projectiles and gives dmg reduction
also disables traps
And wait 2-3 business day to swing the sword and obliterate everything in its path
Now I wonder if Arthur would be good if 3rd swing literally instaphased everything (or, y'know, just kill) and the second swing did enough to kill common enemies up to asphodel
are there any requirements for unlocking the secret aspects?
i dont even remember how did i got guan yu
Yesh. They're all pinned in #h1-story-discussion
oh crap if it is lore related then i cant check it
i dont wanna spoil myself
guess il find it by my own
They're all individually spoiler-tagged too!
You have to like
Talk to specific people
With certain requirements met
But yeah you can definitely find out on your own
I did that way
Post getting gy, ||you need 5 blood in a weapon and, aside from sword, to get a voiceline while using the weapon from the God who gives you the final voiceline, to finally be able to get a 2nd voiceline (can be acquired while using any weapon) to unlock it||
It’s not really lore
why does unlocking all the secret aspects need aspect of guan yu 
But I figured I’d maybe spoiler it anyways
you need GY to get the rest of the hidden ones
It’s the first one you can get
that’s just how they (Super Giant Games) decided to go about it
how to get ruthless reflex
i just got the game today and i have already been to the boss of elysium lol
cool
is it just me or is Poseidon dash and Athena special together kinda op
on what weapon
the sword
thats how i got to the elysium boss on literally my first time there
it could be
i had never made it to elysium and literally got to the boss first try with that combo lol
im not new at all but i dont know the game much myself 😭 🙏
nice
tbf with that combo all i do is just spam dash and occasionally special and win easy because dash iframes
so real
its kinda stupid that it works but whatever idrc
i think ill just mainly play the sword a lot of the time because i have 5/6 of the weapons and its my favourite

my fav ones r def the spear n maplhon fists
varatha
stygian is good too
i hate the bow 😭
too hard to use 👽
yesh
Y'all need to dash strike with it
Charges faster and makes it smoother to play
Turns into a rhythm game
Makes bow easier to play
character development:
from bone hydra to lernie
press the other dash talent in the mirror(i forgot name)
whatg
all mirror talents have 2 sides, a yellow-green and a purple.
click on the name of the talent to switch sides
the second dash is the purple side, ruthless reflex is the yellow green side
purple side?
oh okay
looks like the decorations of an exit
Learn it earlier
Learning it later will only be harder
And it makes it 1000* better
Wait that responded wrong
Even though you may get ruthless reflex, just ditch it after you get your win for the prophecy
Poseidon dash is one of the best boon in the game. Great damage that scales well with poms
And divine flourish is nice. Deflect is really cool against projectiles
Still, getting to heroes in less than a day is really damn impressive
Someone wana give me a random challenge in mood to play again
spin guan yu
flip your regular mirror (each upgrade for their counterpart)
and then do spin guan-yu as Bananas suggested
Play blindfolded
Ok I will try 😆
Blindfolded Hades is a thing
the blindfolded modpack was made to be more accomadating for them iirc
60 heat guan yu was a spin build
just ignore the rd
but honestly like it was pretty baller
sd wasn't used until ely
athena attack with massive spin
huh
well, i won't deny the results
i just personally would rather eat broken glass than play that
||is it possible for theusus to not have any god take his side if zagreus has a boon from each god in the game||
i mean it might pick a random one, but i'm pretty sure it's impossible for that to have happen
@wispy sinew #h1-victory-boasting message
Didn’t feel like linking to avictory in new players
But this run
Had like not that much technically skill
By that I mean spawn manip
And spawn manip alone
I was 100% doing enemy grouping
Which is a lot more core
But I was also just focusing a lot on mechanics at this point
So no you don’t need spawn manip for sub10
spawn manip is, like, going to a corner of the map to have mobs spawn closer together ?
more or less
Ish
that's like a very basic understanding of it but at the same time it's kinda all it is lmao
welp time to make a new one then
yes
Idk
I’ve managed to repick up heat
I think I may even be more consistent with heat then before
So I might shoot for higher heat rather then a speed pb
like 40
that works too
This build
Or this one: #h1-discussion message
Shoot
either way, TY the gamer for these “brilliant” builds
That’s like every boon lol
Disciple of athena
Incredible
bone hydra ❌
lernie ✅
blessed be her name
Which boons are seen as best for beowulf shield? Especially regarding the cast since it works differently
Poseidon and Dio are best.
Just don't pick Zeus or Ares and you're good
Alr
Mirage shot
(with crush flare and thunder flare seeing some use in heat gameplay too. these two are however quite niche.)
Thunder flare in high heat???
yeah like rn im doing it with rama 
Mysterra did 50beo with thunder flare lol #787779476888354816 message
they did it because it sucks lol
''vanquis ||hades|| bearing cosmic egg'' like wear cosmic egg before the fight?
Yeah
just have it equipped when you fight dad
Mysterra does whatever they want in high heat lmao
Doesn't make it good or useful
They did 59 non hell mode slicing flare
Still garbage tho lmao
hello, i had a question, if I have a boon that affects attack damage, would it also affect my spin attack, or just my normal attack?
It'll also affect the spin
kewl
The punishing sweep from hades spear doesn't affect spin damage tho
it was just a boon from chaos n then i got a daedelus upgrade on the spin attack
is it unusual that i have 160 hrs and had the game since 2020 and yet have only gotten past elysium and no farther lol
i see a lot of ppl talking about heats in this game and demeter and i still have encountered none of it
i figured
no yea i still haven't gotten to the final boss lol
i don't even think i'm Bad at the game i just... go at a slow pace i guess
not like in the gameplay but as far as trying to get further along
i never thought about this but what is the criteria for getting a duo boon?
like can both gods offer it at the same time or is there a formula to it?
Both gods can offer it
You just need certain boons to even be able to get them
Requirements are viewable in your codex
i figured sometimes that maybe you get it from the second god you got the prerequisite boon for
yeah i know that much
i just didn't know if there was an order to it
you can get it from either god
okay thanks
is there any reason for why i havent seen the legendary boon of every God yet?
or just bad luck
Could be luck or that you didn't pick the requisites to open them in first place
Are ya meeting the prerequisites?
As long as you’re meeting the prereqs it’s just a matter of rng
I don’t know the requirements
Do you have the codex upgrade yet
If you have the codex you can check
Otherwise the wiki page for each God has them
https://cpecific.github.io/hades-wiki/ also this cuz fandom is dumb
the thing where you can check the bio of people?, the upgrade that gives you a list of the boons?
ooooooooooooh
i see
ugh but paying attention to all of this is kins of a chore
maybe i should just try to get them naturally
You can open the codex even while picking up boons
You'll memorize the requisites with time but for now just open it before selecting what to take
This is so blessed
(also no need to memorize everything, just the good duos/legendaries)
You probably won’t get them any time soon if you just try naturally
Especially for like Divine Protection where there is only one boon that even opens it
Or arte legendary where you need 2 of 3
yeah i think im just gonna ignore it until completing the codex is the only thing left to do
i dont wanna overheat my brain
Just opening your codex to check whether any of your options open up a legendary shouldn’t overheat your brain, hopefully
You just pick up a boon then chekc the god’s list and be like “huh oh brilliant riposte is an option and lets me get divine protection, I think I’ll take it”
Guys what is the ''God mode'' in the settings
maybe since i have autism
when a game gives me choices i die inside
20% dmg reduction, goes up by 2% each time you die. Caps at 80%
oh
useless for me
Isn’t it 4#
Wanna test it?
W/ family rn, won’t
Classic
but atleast i beated it first try
( i have no revives left )
Your reaction was way less thanif should’ve
Just keep your hp above 0 while reducing enemies hp to 0 and you'll be fine
oh
em3 is mostly just asterius shockwave and spin
i was so scared when i first saw them tho
and the occasional bomb simulating hs
boiling blood moment
idk what to do
heat moment
Just don’t get hit by his skulls
i did manage to beat em3 but died before the clear
so i guess that means im not ready for winning with em3
Rush Delivery seems really fun to use
and super good
How would I build around it
you don't really built around, it supports any build
just take hyper sprint from hermes and hope rd shows up at the 2nd hermes
free 50+ percent damage
Top tier Hermes boon
Especially with hyper spront
I think you mea +100%
greater recall better smh
just get a purple rd
is there any other pact for dummies?
Also since movespeed is multiplicative
Td is super simple
smh its 125%
middle management is fun, benefits package 1 is fine, as mentioned tight deadline is pretty much fine
depends on your average clean time but still
"average clean time"
hades is about housekeeping???!!?!?!?!
Is heavy knuckle good
not really
depends on god/aspect
you usually build for on hit effects like zeus due to your low base dmg
if youre using talos, its fine
if demeter, horrible
if youre using zeus on attack, horrible
Not really
oh wait I was in the past
Eh somenoobdying had the saeme thought process
if you wanna build it is better to keep a c1 heavy knuckle seed so you can force aphro or arte
fun fact:
i was in the process of typing not really
Heavy knuckle is really just worse spreadfire zagrail
i dont care about time i care about win no matter how long
yeah tight deadline prob not for you then
TD is just win faster
bruh i already said im bad at making choices
and now you want me to do them under time pressure?
and yes i know time freezes when you have to make a choice
but my point stands
I think that very point makes it not though
because you have infinite time to make decisions
It’s just about playing a bit more efficiently when you’re in combat
and you can just try td1 out first
Then work your way up once the time crunch is less of a crunch and more just second nature
@opaque fable for heat there's a pinned guide on what's recommended in #h1-high-heat-strategies
oh nice
is a common feeling
I don't have to spoiler stuff in this channel right
yes, its spoiler free
getting to dad seems way easier after the first time around
probably because i got better? i hope so
extreme measures is the extra boss mechanics one right
yeah
not in game
I can consistently just not die
So that's good
you should try heat 32, itll boost your confidence
No
Where Skelly??
Nvm
How many runs did it take everyone to beat Hades for the first time
45
My confidence is now though the roof
something something one of the top players took 50 and some attempts
Took me 19
I mean they improved
Alot
Still, the reason I did it somewhat quickly is probably because I have experience with other roguelikes
speedy
And didn't have to learn EVERYTHING
I've played Dead Cells, Neon Abyss, Dungreed, and Risk of Rain 2 before
hades was my first roguelike
50
Although
I sucked at video games when I started playing
Like all of them
I think roguelite experience may make you better at other roguelites
Yeah uhh
I played them ALOT
Thirty runs!
dam
ive had 0 experience with rogues or non web/mobile games, aside from vampire survivors(doesnt really count)
and a lot of experience with dead cells on mobile but we dont talk about that
around 30 for me
now that I think about it, I still have that save file, isn't there a quick way to check in game when I got my first win ?
spread fire upgrade on rail sucks
half range and half max bullets for a damage upgrade that is not even worth it
is fun on zag rail
not as fun as ricochet
ricochest is nice for hestia and that's it really
records
I don't feel like going through my 400+ record to see when I first won tbh
maybe if one day I'm bored out of my mind
just mash until you get to 1, then go from there
auto clicker
Hades idle
then go to your tv and watch something
what if tv sucks
go outside
... you got me there
take a shower
I feel like taking a shower outside would be a bit challenging
Never tried though, maybe I'm wrong
build a outside shower
got dynoed
dont they suck
swear filter is pretty harsh in this server
whoops
blood and darkness
Best hammer in game
It’s way worth it
on zag rail
i like money=damage if i get lucky with chaos
Don’t curse on the server dude
Hoarding is like
A bottom tier sword hammer
hoarding is useless
almost useless
Yes
hoarding does suck unless you are trying to do a hoarding run
and only on standing strikes iirc ?
The amount of obols you have to have are too much
i guess you could say its fair enough
So it is better than at least 4 other sword hammers
I made a monster u_u
fair
But the obols you need for it to be worth it should be spent asap
Btw even with 3000 obols, dedge, and 3 dashes
It’s not enough damaage
my favorite hammer has to be Exploding Launcher
It’s great
even on a hoarding slash run the increase in damage is pretty low. Plenty of other hammers would give you more, even in such a run
just did a Artemis hydro Exploding Launcher run and it was crazy
Exploding launcher is amazing. It should be baseline on spear (except arthur) because the special is sooo clunky otherwise
~~actually hoarding slash is a subtle critic on greed and not intended to be good 🧠 ~~
I personally put it above 6 other sword hammers
hydraulic might i mean
spear except arthur?
also exploding launcher is built into guan-yu
That’s the best part of Guan-yu
you just need charged akewer alongside exploding launcher/GY
I meant achilles. They both start with the same letter, it's confusing !... o/-<







Confidence Stonks (I got absolutely wrecked on heat 10)
