although i wouldn't recommend gy without mod, its too hammer dependent

is it bad to have 33 hours without having defeated hades?

play at your own pace :))

I have like 1500 hours in counter-strike and I’m still only silver-gold nova depending on what map and gamemode

Tho I did better in GO, ranks do seem to be bad in CS2 rn. My buddy was MGE and now he’s gn

Chat just curious, as a fist main what is the best aspect in yall's opinion? I usually do Demeter but I've been wanting to try out Talos

keen mortar
#

talos is fun to try out but dem is probably better

#

not that I know anything about it

toxic trellis
#

Talos is insanely fun
Magnet uppercut go brrrrr

oak beacon
#

Might give it a try then, only need one more level up so I got +40% damage rn

#

What's the worst that could happen? I die? zaggrin

stone rune
#

demeter is the only answer

#

zag bonus is useless

#

talos is actively detrimental

and gilga is gilga

Nice, glad to hear people saying Dem is good

I wish hades for ipad:

  1. supported keyboard and mouse (I use an HHKB Pro Hybrid and a wireless mouse with my 12.9” m1 pro)
  2. didn’t leave black bars on the screen and utilized its full resolution
  3. had cross-save with PC
#

that’d be real nice

#

I play on my iPad when I’m away from my PC but I don’t like lugging a controller whereas I need the keyboard and trackpad/mouse to use the iPad fully

#

it’s the only game I actually like that has a currently supported iOS port (except Machinarium iOS but I already have it on PC and I don’t wanna pay extra for it)

#

oh and Minecraft. mobile games I like are pretty much exclusively minecraft, monument valley, hades, and Machinarium

#

amogus somewhat, badland is OK but I haven’t touched it in ages… etc

#

and the angry birds franchise. Wish the classic ones weren’t moneygrabs now

#

I miss angry birds starwars

other than supergiant, amanita is my favorite game studio

really had to mention the hhkb

my only complain with this game, literally the only one

is that the credits are not repeatable

fervent radish

just FFTC

I mean especially the fact that you can't see the sun or the garden again

what prevented them from keeping it, it's not extra work? idk man that's my biggest complaint honestly

which hammer

rocky solstice
#

the best one for your q being the 300% dmg

the nuclear bomb

stone rune

hazard is not the best rail hammer

rocky solstice
#

not rail in general

but the best one for the special

stone rune

it is not that either

#

rocket is better especially with cluster

rocky solstice
#

i have demeter atk, and i have the choice between athena and demeter which should i go

#

(eris rail btw)

stone rune
#

choose to not have demeter attack

#

you really really really want zeus

it’s worth restarting the run and changing keepsake

i have zues keepsake active rn

then why do you have demeter attack

Does god mode increase ur dmg resistance by 1% per death or 20% to 21% n so on

mint coral

Starts at 20% and caps at 80%

Im gonna use god mode since i alr reunited the fam

brisk trail
mint coral
#

Just keep in mind there's no way to decrease the dmg reduction

#

I think turning it off before dying should prevent that?

Or counter with the hard labor pact

I will allow that

Had such a great build and run going but decided on charon at 40bounty

#

Bad choice

brisk trail
chilly zephyr
#

Does the extra speed let him turn around when doing the sword because I Don't recall him being able to 360 that thing

#

Also great start on new run, chaos -4hp when attack and I nearly instantly kill myself with laser-gun

mint coral
#

Just don't get hit

#

Or why did you take that curse

rocky solstice
#

What's the best Demeter boons

#

Not counting legendaries or duos (yet)

lavish sorrel
#

Ravenous will

#

Snow Burst on castspects

#

Nourished soul if lasting consequences isn't on

#

I probably forgot a few

#

Anyhow, her cores aren't great, but her support boons are usually quite handy

true oak
#

also she has lots of unpommables, so it won't eat up your pom pool

#

rare crop is funny

#

but i don't think she has many good boons at all

feral charm
#

i thought zeus' special attack boon would be once per use

#

but no, its once per hit

#

so on the bow's special i can hit someone with lightning like 7 billion times for free

upper wolf
#

No

#

There's an internal cooldown

feral charm
#

im definitely seeing a lot of lightning strikes though

upper wolf
#

Yeah

mint coral
#

Focus on the dmg number

feral charm
#

my regular attack does a good enough job at that

#

i kinda assumed daedalus hammers were the best upgrades you could find and i havent been wrong yet

mint coral
#

Bow is built different for hammers lol

#

So many great options

feral charm
#

ive only tried one

#

i picked up the exploding one the first time and just took it again now because i know its busted

rocky solstice
#

Is there a way to target farm keys?

true oak

i wouldn't worry about it

rocky solstice

Im tryna farm for the trader guy AND the mirror rn

rocky solstice
#

I think when I get some I'ma try to do sword runs, learn how to use it

proven lichen
#

I thought I was good at this game and I tried it on keyboard and mouse for the first time

#

I am SO bad at it without controller auto-aim

rocky solstice
#

Bro it has auto aim?

#

Well auto tracking but still.

mint coral
#

kbm also has it but you only use it on rail really

proven lichen
#

it's aim at cursor so you have to actually keep track of what's going on lmao

rocky solstice
upper wolf
#

but ofc without the joystick it's still harder to aim with auto-aim than on controller

celest shell

Came back after not playing for a year, can confirm, Hades is still fun

upper wolf
#

mood

desert tundra
#

It will always be fun

feral charm
#

i didnt know people played this on controller

celest shell

I've always played it on mobile switch

#

Feels the most right to me

proven lichen
#

assuming you're eligible for both, are you more likely to get a legendary boon or a duo boon?

stone rune
latent moon
#

Same odds

stone rune
#

both

#

whatever

#

they generate the smae

#

the game rolls on whether to give u a duo/lego and then picks from the eligible ones

rustic vale
#

I mean

#

Tbh

#

It’s really the duo

#

Since

#

You can find it from either god

#

Odds when you pick up just one boon are equal but if you’re talking over multiple boon pick uos

good job on the timing there mate

#

"House contractor(dad) I got something for you. Surely this will be a daily reminder for the real life shades of the Underworld to see sunlight more often!"

proven lichen
#

this doesn't happen that often, but it has happened multiple times by now - what's your analysis on choosing between free rooms?

#

chaos vs midshop? sisyphus vs midshop? eurydice vs midshop?

#

I guess I just go based on vibes or the amount of gold I have but idk, I feel like sometimes even if I have a lot of gold chaos is probably better?

#

it's basically difficult to judge the average value of a midshop

true oak
#

eurydice is always best

#

midshop if there's a specific boon you need

#

chaos is best for cast builds

normal hazel
#

is there a good build dedicated to just resource collection (gemstones, nectars, keys) or is that too rng dependant?

real bough
#

rng

void vigil
upper wolf

still mostly rng

that helps ig

zeus attack eris rail, first hammer rockets, second hammer: explosive fire or triple bomb?

Less good than clockets of course but goodenough™️

i'll try it thxshadethumbsup

vivid lynx
#

Does revealing aspects count as using the requiered titan blood to have the hidden aspects unlocked?

mint coral
vivid lynx
#

I upgraded Aspect of zeus on the shield

#

Thats enough then

mint coral
#

Just remember that you need hidden spear first

#

(not unlock it but have it available)

vivid lynx
#

Yeah i got it

#

First chaos gate too

#

Good thing i dont have to do ti many times

wary iron
#

so there are people out here who get them in first try huh

flint pollen
#

I forget, can Chaos give you more than one extra cast?

#

Like, over the entire run

#

As in can you get multiple boons with an extra cast from chaos during a run xd

upper wolf
#

yeah

#

not very likely, but it can happen for sure

flint pollen
upper wolf
#

They heard you

#

chaos the jokester

flint pollen
#

Im on a beowulf run and was deciding whether i should take a second chaos gate

upper wolf
#

oh, you always take chaos on beo

#

even if you don't get a bloodstone, you can get +%dmg on cast, which is either as good or even better

keen mortar
#

is stygian or infernal better on beo, i usually take stygian on anything else but beo seems special

#

same question with hera

flint pollen
latent moon
#

After you get 4th cast, %damage on cast is almost always better

latent moon
flint pollen
latent moon
#

The burst damage is more important

keen mortar
#

fair

latent moon
#

Hera beo and Achilles all use infernal

#

Most aspects use infernal actually

flint pollen
#

I lucked tf out on the boons this run tho lol

latent moon
#

Even if they're not cast based

upper wolf
#

I take stygian on some ranged weapons where getting the stones might be annoying, and on dio cast builds

#

well, not even all dio cast builds

keen mortar
#

oh interesting i always liked styg for less hassle, seems i need to reevaluate

latent moon
#

Infernal for rod lmao

flint pollen
#

Im playing on 0 heat just trying to get back in, so i was like "eh its 0 heat and im just getting muscle memory back so ill level a keepsake" and am now using lambert plume, first item i get is epic poseidon cast, then dionysus attack (meh except for duo potential), artemis dash (again meh except i got the +50% dash attack dmg hammer lol), but then got hermes legendary boon and 2 extra casts from chaos lmao

keen mortar
#

nice nice

latent moon
#

Artemis isn't meh

flint pollen
#

And im still in asphodel

upper wolf
#

artemis is literally broken xD

latent moon
#

Mirage shot is necessary for beo lmao

flint pollen
#

Just got past halfway in asphodel

upper wolf

mirage shot goes brrr

flint pollen
#

Mirage shot?

#

What slot is that

#

I dont remember the boons as well as i used to xd

latent moon

Duo

upper wolf
latent moon

Pos Artemis duo

flint pollen

Ohhh right

upper wolf

but yeah, double damage goes brrr

mint coral

They are both 30% 🧠

flint pollen
true oak

how's phalanx flare guys? sorry to interrupt

flint pollen
#

Ive not done super high heat levels but yeah im a big fan of beo

true oak
#

175-232 dmg is tempting

latent moon
#

Might be a smaller radius

true oak
#

its a swap

latent moon
#

From what to Athena

true oak
#

pos cast

#

already got mirage

latent moon
#

Do you already have mirage shot

#

Ah

#

You can if you want then yeah

#

Just mind the radius nerf

true oak
#

ok it'll be interesting

latent moon
#

Pos radius is absolutely massive

#

Athena is one of the smaller ones iirc

true oak
#

i've got splash dash so styx should be ok with breaking wave

upper wolf
#

yeah, should very much be x)

flint pollen
#

Oh yeah i forgot i also got the demeter boon that gives you extra dmg when you dont have casts at epic rarity xd

#

I forget again, how does charged shot hammer interact with beo?

#

The casts fire off where youre standing right?

#

I remember it being something dumb like that

mint coral
#

Release at end of the shot

flint pollen
#

Oh, so its very very broken

mint coral
flint pollen
#

Thanks

#

Ah

upper wolf
#

not where you stand, not where you hit the enemy, but at the end of the shot, like with normal rush

flint pollen
#

Yeah ol

#

Ok

upper wolf
#

and yeah charged shot is incredible

flint pollen
#

So its very very good with greater recall

#

Lmao

upper wolf
#

best hammer for beo by a wide margin

#

it's very very good without greater recall too zaglol

mint coral
stone rune
#

greater recall bad

flint pollen
mint coral
#

The idea is that you barely charge the shot

flint pollen
#

Hm

#

Why?

mint coral
#

So you can just dash to the casts anyways

mint coral
#

Also you want to start a rush through a dash strike anyways

upper wolf
#

there's no reason to charge anyway

mint coral
#

Standing beo attacks are slow

upper wolf
#

you get the full 80 damage even with minimum charge

flint pollen
flint pollen
mint coral
#

Also to get greater recall you need to use hermes' keepsake

flint pollen
#

Oh true

#

I didnt even remember that

#

I was just leveling it up

#

Lmao

mint coral
#

From hermes you pretty much always want hyper sprint + rush delivery

flint pollen
#

Yea that i know

#

But greater recall seemed less like a gamble on getting the other boon

oak beacon
#

Hyper Sprint + Greatest Reflex is also a combo I love especially if you've got something to boost your Dash-Strike

fervent radish
#

hypersprint does not boost dash strike by itself

oak beacon
#

I understand, but it's nice to have as a synergy so you can dash around a bunch while you attack

fervent radish

well, full bi, but y'know

steep condor
#

i mean being bi is kinda gay

#

also i've been thinking about this lately because some people are so surprised by the than romance thing

is it just me or... doesn't zag seem gay anyway. like, i thought he's intentionally created to seem that way, before i knew of the romancing options. like, the way he's voiced, the things he says, idk

#

or am i just being weird again

tepid light

Well admittedly I'm not gay, but it seems a bit weird to say "this person has to be insert sexuality here because they have insert personality traits here"

Dad is too in a rush to trap you 🧠

#

Realistically idk lol

flint pollen
#

Anyone remember what you build with Hades aspect spear?

upper wolf
#

If you get explosive launcher, you build special

flint pollen
#

Yeah but like in general, i don't remember basically anything on what's good with it xD

#

Haven't used it in AGES

upper wolf
#

Otherwise you go with strike, preferably dash strikes with serrated edge

flint pollen
#

OK

upper wolf
#

In any case you'll usually want Artemis on your main damage dealer

flint pollen
#

The only thing i remember is that the hammer that gives you extra sweep attack range is real funny with it

upper wolf
#

Yeah, Hades spear already has a bigger range by default. So with the hammer it gets silly

#

Bad hammer on the aspect though

#

You really want exploding launcher and charged skewer, or quick spin and/or serrated edge

flint pollen
#

Remember what the dps attack combo is like?

#

Spear is by far my weakest weapon lol

upper wolf
#

Spin to apply the mark, then dash strikes with special in between if you have exploding, or just standing strikes if not

flint pollen
#

OK

#

Thanks

#

Yeah i never really got the spear tbh

mint coral
#

Achilles can do cast builds if you want spear wins w/o actually playing it

flint pollen
#

Other weapons i can reliably do clears at like 12 to 15 ish heat, spear i dont really get the moveset of

#

Well, yeah, but i also do suck at cast builds other than with hera / beowulf xD

#

My strongest weapon i think is probably nemesis aspect sword lmao, just bc of the sheer dps, either that or beowulf bc the blocking and burst combo is so good

#

Highest heat is beo, but thats only bc blocking is a thing xD

upper wolf
#

Blocking do be kinda good

stone rune
#

me on social media platforms seeing a user who i find disagreeable

flint pollen
#

Oh yeah also i forgot

#

Serrated edge might be the most bs thing in the game

brisk trail
#

Does god mode really make u resistant permanently?

flint pollen
#

It doesnt actually hit 3 times

#

Actually scammed

upper wolf

Unless you turn it off

fervent radish

#

huh

#

it doesn't?

mint coral

It should

#

Tho I wonder if they tried it with like zeus/pos attack

tropic condor
#

does attack damage increase dashstrike damage with the sword?

mint coral
#

Yeah

tropic condor
#

thank you

mint coral
#

Though shadow slash doesn't work on D.strikes

tropic condor
flint pollen
#

For zeus, dio, demeter, ares, i dont think it counts for artemis thingy either

mint coral
#

Zeus is prob running into the cooldown

#

And ares doesn't stack

upper wolf
#

I just tested

#

(and didn't get my hammer before aspho bouldy )

#

serrated point does apply 3 stacks of hangover, so it does hit 3 times

#

Also I'm surprised at how much damage I managed to do with a random dio attack zagspear

#

I even had the opportunity to get tdash but turned it down to be sure to see the 3 stacks before the target dies

mint coral
#

Dio attack always comfy as long as you have your poms/global dmg

upper wolf
#

oh yes, but what surprised me is how good it was without it

#

caveat : I did get epic dio attack, so that's a few poms ahead

#

but still

#

The spear is quite fast but nothing too crazy. I didn't get flurry jab since I wanted to test serrated (and no escaped after I got the hammer)

flint pollen
upper wolf
#

when

#

I just tested it right now

latent moon

Why would it not lmao

upper wolf

and the game hasn't been updated in like 3 years

I'm banking on another ICD befuddle

Trying Extreme Measures 4 for the first time shadefear

flint pollen
#

Like, when i first started playing this game

#

I dont even remember when that was but like, i remember the game getting a few updates on steam so its possible that was patched

#

Or i might just be misremembering

oak beacon
#

Also I have 130+ hours in this game and didn't realize until now that you can listen to "Lament of Orpheus" at any time by just going to the music settings and toggling it lmao

flint pollen
#

Also, does bonus damage from for example aspect of eris apply to stuff like hangover?

#

Hangover or doom are the main examples i can think of

#

Mostly asking bc idk if eris dio build is viable or not

mint coral
flint pollen
#

Nice

#

In that case definitely going for dio eris build

mint coral
#

If the buff says "do more dmg" it works for anything from zag

#

If it specifies the source then it is just for that

#

(and also there's "enemies take more dmg" which also buffs non zag stuff)

flint pollen
#

Yeah, i just wasnt sure whether hangover counts as "from zag"

mint coral
#

Like traps/summons/Than

flint pollen
#

What about Chaos boons that buff "attack"? If you have hangover on your attack does that get boosted or is it just the direct damage?

raw herald
#

Just the attack

void vigil
#

same goes for doom

#

it doesnt boost it

flint pollen
#

BTW, if the Wiki is correct Athena cast deals more dmg than Aphrodite cast? Is there a reason i see Aphro cast being preferred for hera bow even though it deals less dmg?

latent moon
#

Athena cast should be less than Aphrodite

flint pollen
#

Well, according to the wiki its not xD

#

Crush shot is better at common rarity, but at every other rarity it already starts off better

upper wolf
#

The fandom wiki is not 100% trustworthy tbh

latent moon
#

Oh yeah at different rarities phalanx shot is higher

#

But that doesn't matter too much lmao

#

Phalanx shot flies off into the sunset when you miss

upper wolf
#

but to answer you question : even if the damage is better on athena, crush shot has the advantage to drop the stone at the end of your shot and not fly into the sunset

flint pollen
#

Ohhhh right i forgot about that

upper wolf
#

try using athena cast with hera in asphodel

flint pollen
#

Yeeeep

#

Its awful

#

I forgot that athena cast does that

true oak
#

also i think aphro cast might pom better but not 100% sure

flint pollen
#

Ngl, its a real shame that dio cast doesnt drop faster

#

The direct damage it does is HILARIOUS

fervent radish
#

Stygian moment

flint pollen
#

Dio cast with beowulf aspect and fast cast regen would be so busted xD

#

Or hera ngl

true oak
#

trippy beo is ok

#

its quite fun

flint pollen
#

Yeah ive played it

#

I just wish the casts would be a bit faster

#

It does become very funny if you get the zeus duo boon

#

And as many extra casts as possible

#

Bc you can stack like 5 festive fogs in place, which basically keeps the enemies completely still inside that area, and then they also get zapped

mint coral
#

Try mirage shot for instant nuke instead

#

Gotta abuse it + pom bug

flint pollen
#

Pom bug?

mint coral
#

Trippy flare poms are double of what's shown

mint coral
flint pollen
#

Rip

#

And also that's wonky lol

mint coral
#

Beo is a work of art

#

Thunder flare has 0 cast dmg

flint pollen
#

Wait what

mint coral
#

And iirc slicing flare doesn't work with mirage either (somehow)

flint pollen
#

Lmfao

#

Thats so dumb

mint coral
#

You can see if you get offered a swap

#

It'll show like 0 > whatever the other cast dmg is

flint pollen
#

Kekw

mint coral
#

Or reverse if thunder is the swap

#

There's also tiny flare

#

Where certain options (often selling attack/rare crop hitting atk) reduces aphro's flare to your base cast aoe

#

Or universal to shield where crop can revert cshot dmg to normal

Furies

The Furies (sometimes referred to as the Erinyes) are the boss encounter for Tartarus, as well as the first boss encountered in every run of Hades. They are always encountered at Chamber 14, the final Chamber of Tartarus. Initially when encountered, only Megaera will oppose Zagreus. After enough runs have been attempted, eventually her sisters, ...

(th was bro saying)

upper wolf

you're missing the ref

real bough
#

so can you please explain

void vigil
#

i also, and im very confused

storm imp
#

wait, heat rewards are not retroactive? i mean, if i beat heat 4, but not 2, i have to change to heat 2 in order to get heat 2 rewards? cant be obtained retroactively in heat 4 like in Astral Ascent? Oo

upper wolf
#

Yes you can

#

Basically

#

By clearing heat 4 when you only cleared heat 1 before, you get the rewards for heat 2

#

iirc

#

actually maybe you should wait for someone who actually knows what he's talking about zaglol

#

but basically it somehow works 🤷‍♂️

real bough
storm imp
#

mm weir so... seems like i dont get the interface heat menu so x_x

upper wolf
#

and the joke reference is that earlier someone came in and asked how to not romance thanatos because it was gay

real bough
#

mess around and find out such ancient technique originated since Prometheus made us himan

void vigil
#

the rewards are not retroactive, you gain them one by one. though you cant miss anything by doing higher heat, itll just give you the reward for the lowest level youve done

#

i hope that makes sense

storm imp
#

if the icon of the reward appears, it means i wil lget it or i wont ? cause i just beat heat 1 with the spear, but in heat 4 icons still appear

real bough
#

this isnt June yet

void vigil
#

iirc, the symbol showing is a sign you got it already - the question mark is when you didnt

#

you need to clear a run fully in order to get the next level of rewards

#

its also per weapon-per heat level

upper wolf
#

"I'm only gay during pride month" zaglol

storm imp
void vigil

👍

real bough
void vigil

well, if you dont want to romance thanatos you really dont have to. the game states it, probably multiple times
