Have you gotten all achievements?

oh so i just realice that if time runs out you start losing heal xD

#

bro i need a god rng run... i start so bad wasting 3 rerolls in the 1º pick xDD

upper wolf
#

unmodded gaming be like bouldy

upper wolf
#

because in "good action game with stellar writing and art" you can hardly do better than bastion and transistor

brisk trail
upper wolf
#

so an action roguelike ?

#

well, Binding of Isaac is the first that comes to mind

brisk trail
#

Alr imma try it out

last veldt
#

It's got a ... unique ... art style.

upper wolf
#

and story

#

and items

#

and lot of things

#

but it still manages to be fun 🤷‍♂️

#

it is one of those games that if you parents are asking you "so, what are you playing ?" you go "uhhhhhhhhhh"

storm imp
#

is there any way to configure a music theme for hades home and play it always i come back ?

mint coral
upper wolf
mint coral
#

Ok tbf I mostly went on the christian themes but still it was fine zaglol

storm imp
#

if i have 4 gods already and pick a god keepsake will it appear anyway? it dosnt right?

mint coral
#

Keepsakes will force regardless of pool (and the god will be added to your pool)

#

So now you have a 5 god pool

last veldt
#

And with a bit of luck you can get every god in the pool. I don't think it leads to anything interesting happening though (I wish Theseus ended up with nobody answering his call in that case).

mint coral
#

You get +45% from FF dusa

#

And theseus defaulting to artemis is kinda interesting

storm imp
#

yay did it

#

heat 32 done >0<//

I love the conversation where Skully reveleas for who he was hired, but being smart enough you can guess sooner than that conversation, he have a coin on his mout zagplszagplszagplszagplszagpls

congrats on coming to the right conclusion out of error though x)

jagged hamlet
#

Oh wait you were probably being sarcastic

rose roost
#

There are actually pretty heavy Christian themes in Issac

#

(I forgot about them now since I played the game ages ago)

jagged hamlet
#

Oh, I missed the context. There's a lot of imagery but almost no themes

upper wolf
#

yeah there's a lot of religious trauma in Isaac

#

Indoctrination, hell, influence of satan, whether god is loving or abusive, kindaaa forgiveness ? and absolution

jagged hamlet

I can get behind that statement

Who needs a giant tv, if you can play hades in a vr headset. Too bad it only works as a giant screen, and not fully immersive

final folio
#

oh for sure it’d have to be retooled, if it was as fast paced as regular hades it’d be one hell of a motion sickness causing workout

#

it won’t happen, but it’d be neat. maybe when vr-ar tech advances

jagged hamlet
#

Imagine getting swarmed by poxy rats in VR

mystic lark
jagged hamlet
#

Cuuuuute 😄

mystic lark
#

Other weapons would transition more or less alright

final folio
#

maybe a timeslow on the dash would prevent nausea

mystic lark
#

A shield throw would be a challenge, to get right direction. Maybe aim assist, so that the shield corrects its trajectory on the fly to hit something close to the original path

final folio
#

or point in the general direction with one hand while pressing the throw button

mystic lark
#

Fists and rail would be the easiest. Sword is ok, except for that launch hammer

#

Hm, rail special aim though...

final folio
mystic lark
#

Yeah, or a trajectory projection. Would be a bit trickier with a hammer for x5, but doable

final folio
#

would be a hard playstyle to optimize for, very new tech too

#

my friend is a VR-AR dev at concordia working on creating a breast visualization program for her thesis, I could ask her for a demo maybe

mystic lark
#

Nah, I think that would take too long to make a demo, I don't think she would have time

#

I will try to make one myself

#

I'm a programmer and worked with unity a bit before

final folio
#

bruh

#

hate that cringe ahh filter

mystic lark
#

Yep

final folio
#

anyway it’s for post breast cancer reconstructive surgery

#

to minimize post surgery regret

mystic lark
#

That's awesome honestly

final folio
#

so you can see what your chest looks like after the surgery- I tried it out and it’s amazing

#

not finished yet tho

final folio
mystic lark
#

Imagine a smart mirror with that tech :D

final folio
#

all they need is a half decent computer and a cheap VR headset

final folio
#

maybe she should implement that too- I’ll talk to her about it. Since you look different in a mirror vs looking at yourself

#

since she plans to work on it further after her thesis

mystic lark
#

Nice

#

Funny that I just today installed unity on my new pc, opened it, and thought that I do not have any doable project to work on

#

Hades vr demo will be fun to try making

I just bought an x570 dark and 5950x to replace my 7800x3D system I sold to a friend

#

pairing it with 1080ti kingpins in SLi

This baby runs cyberpunk on ultra, but I'm playing hades instead, lol

#

Cyberpunk is temporary, hades is eternal

mystic lark
final folio
#

1080tis can still run SLI but not on newer games

#

it’s a nostalgia system, my main is gonna be my 3070 system with a 5800x3D

until I upgrade to 9800x3D itx

mystic lark
#

Nice!

final folio
#

gonna try and grab a noctua 4080 super

#

but not for 1600 lol

#

I help run hardwareswap so may run into a good deal later in the year

mystic lark
#

Nvidea prices are insane. Iirc 4090 was double the price of 7900xtx

final folio
#

$1650 plus tax. more than a 4090 FE

standard 4080 is like 1k brand new

storm imp

Extreme measures Hades should be a trophy or something x,x is like the real final boss and a worth challenge.
There is one faith for minotaur and teseus with em, but not for hades 😦 ... weird

#

i wont do it again anymore xD

mystic lark
#

At least you get banger music )

#

But yeah

compact crystal
#

may i ask which hidden aspect or not should i max first??

stone rune
#

beo

true oak
#

Beo is fine lvl1

#

Others benefit more from blood

stone rune
#

yea but beo

true oak
#

playing beo all the time is boring

#

save it for the speedrun attempts

#

use an actually interesting aspect meanwhile

true oak
#

zagbow is good for low blood to max

mint coral
#

For hiddens I'd say rama/luci benefit the most from levels

#

And gy depends on your dodging skills

true oak
#

overall hidden aspects don't need them too much, guan yu excluded

#

but yeah luci is nicer with more blood

steep condor
#

couple days ago, ad said sandra's orb is in zag's room which made me go ??? today, i finally found itzaglol

it's... surprisingly not obvious

wary iron
#

||it's on the shelf there right?||

compact crystal
#

i just have 12 titan blood and dunno which to lvl up

#

probaby i go for lucifer! it seems fun!

#

but beo looks great too

rotund heath
#

Personally I love aspect of Zeus

compact crystal
#

i think it is a bit slow as it spins..

rotund heath
#

That's the part I love

#

Pretty much just throwing a hazard

compact crystal
#

Haha indeed! Personally I like chaos shield, hera bow and beo with aphro/dionysus casts and mirage shot! Also eris with dionysus attack! And liked Arthur too with shackle! I want to try more fun builds! Oh yes also Achilles spear with hunting blades was nice too

stone rune
#

beowulf is the best aspect in the game

#

luci is ok

compact crystal
#

Beowulf is great indeed! I really like it! I just unlocked luci and I want to try it out! Just want to spend my titan blood at aspects that really benefit from it

upper wolf
#

luci does like levels a lot

#

hestia too

#

Demeter is muuuch better with levels

keen mortar
#

level 1 hestia might as well just be aspectless rail

oak beacon
#

I think I've heard that claim before but I suck ass with shield lol

latent moon
# oak beacon Do you mind explaining why? Just curious as a casual player

it being a shield gets access to charged shot, which makes the bull rush a piercing shot with 80 base damage, which already makes it extremely strong. it's part of the reason why shield is so good (zeus doesnt want this for heat but it's good for speed)
in general, cast builds (on the right aspects) are typically pretty strong, since with proper scaling and builds it can have insane damage. for example, achilles can get a 150% damage boost to say hunting blades, which can basically play the game for you
mirage shot is bugged on flares (all beowulf casts and trippy flare on hera) to deal 100% damage instead of 30%, so you can blow up rooms pretty fast with flood flare, which has a massive aoe

#

also being a shield you get a lot of safety from blocking

oak beacon
#

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I might have to revisit Beo and try it out more

upper wolf
#

Yeah it basically can consistently one shot bosses

north pollen

Yay got 10 wins, moms back home

woop woop

welcome back persephone

muted geyser
#

I had a run with aspect of posdion then i used anvil in Styx it gave me the lung special and cursed slash 😭

mint coral
#

why did you anvil on sword

keen mortar
#

sword is the worst aspect to anvil on

#

lol

muted geyser
#

Never used anvil before that

storm imp

wasnt there a boon to make ares rifts bigger ? i remember some creazy videos with it but i dont know wich boon is x.x is a duo ?

I hate the characters, stop talking about Persephone being back I NEED TO UNLOCK THE HIDDEN ASPECTS ACHILLESSSSSSS

storm imp
#

Bru... i use 2k yewels in the constructor for a new hades trone.... and i like more the original than this 2k trash xD

#

shouldnt it be way more epic for 2k and a trone for the gof of tartarus ? X_x

upper wolf
steep condor
#

maybe a couple times more for 100% codex completion

storm imp
#

any way to check my movement speed % ?

#

dash +70%, feather +24%, speed to damage 100%, chaos dash +99%, dash hammer +50%, spped/damage after block +20%, sped after dash +100% >_<

#

btw im never going to use chaos shield again xD ... didnt like it at all

true oak
#

Also speed is multiplicative

#

And yes, chaos shield sucks

storm imp
#

for 0.7 secs tho xD enough cause i just spam dash

true oak
#

Rush delivery works the opposite way

#

Wait idk what you're saying

storm imp
#

srry my bad, wasnt rush delivery xD idk the name i play in spanish

#

i have epic rush delivery and epic whatever is name +speed after dodge

So about *3

eternal wyvern
#

is there a way to reset my titan blood on a weapon?

storm imp
#

i think because they didnt find more uses to keys xD

eternal wyvern
#

how can i fARM titan blood?

storm imp
# eternal wyvern how can i fARM titan blood?

doing runs with with diferent weapons. each heat lvl with each weapon are 2 bloods +1 ambrosia that can be traded for blood... but if you didnt maxed all npcs relationships or maxed meg pet i suggest to save ambrosia for now

#

also some challenges in the book of your room rewards you with a lot of blood

storm imp
#

lets do a Guan yu run xD hope i dont regreat breaking my win strike >0<

north pollen
#

First deathless run :3

north pollen
#

Aww, I wish we could actually tend Persephone’s garden :<

steep condor
#

I kinda doubt SGG are ever going to give us that Persephone garden sim even if we ask really nicely, so maybe someone should just mod a farming game to add Hades characters insteadzagpls

last veldt

I'd play it

north pollen
#

So uhhh how does one use Guan Yu, I need to escape with that aspect for the prophecy

#

It just seems… bad

void vigil
#

I think most people build around the special

#

Over spin builds

north pollen
#

I see

mint coral
# north pollen So uhhh how does one use Guan Yu, I need to escape with that aspect for the prop...

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.

north pollen
#

Still, I don’t see how Guan Yu is overall competitive against other spear aspects, but then again I’ve played it a whopping 1 time and died at Elysium before the boss

mint coral
#

Is basically a weird bow

#

Or hestia rail

#

(also obligated to mention is one of the 3 aspects that has done 64 heat)

north pollen
#

Ah

north pollen
#

For now I’m gonna do 0 Heat runs cause I just realizied I forgot to do these with the other weapons

north pollen
#

The spin feels so weak

mint coral
upper wolf
#

I'm watching this video, finally

#

and bruh

#

Can you get a swap for a core if that core is already heroic ? Because the swap ares attack on the last boon of the run would have been so bouldy

upper wolf
#

good to know

#

but yeah damn that run is nuts

#

unsurprisingly

#

I swear I would have shat a whole house in the EM4 fight with the pots

storm imp

mystic lark

Damn, the sword's special pose looks hella uncomfortable. Tried to roughly reproduce it irl, even ignoring the spin the final position with the sword in the ground is tough

Will this game ever be on android? :(

if i take off hermes feather keepsake i keep the bonus i have till this point right ?

oh so is a forever keepsake D: does the same happen with the butterfly ?

latent moon

Yeah

storm imp

glad i ask, i did change them previosly in other runs xD ... what a waste >0<

is blizzard shot good on poseidon aspect

can you choose your rank icon somehow (prestige Resource director icons) ... i'm lvl 4 but looks worst than lvl 1 or 2 😦

#

i need like 5k darkness to make it look cool again T_T...

mint coral
#

the only way is up

storm imp
#

o well... guess ill stop with the next blue or bone icon so

#

5k is not that bad

#

350k for the final one is goat tho, totally worth >,<

#

there is no way to trade items for darkness right? i only see poor special offers sometimes

#

but like 50 darkness

mint coral
#

there's 50 for 1 nectar/500 for 1 ambrosia

storm imp
#

ok, not a big deal but is fine... i dont need much more ambrosia/blood

#

im not going to use the weapons i didnt lvl .... i even leveled to max chaos shield and i totally regreat xD

#

i have the good ones already maxed x,x

#

@mint coral any point on keeping a god keepsake if you already have it in your pool? (besides the 20% rarity) will him appear more ?

mint coral
#

oh wait

#

nah

#

misread as swapping to one you already got

storm imp
mint coral
#

yeah you don't get more forced boons

keen mortar
#

i'm wondering if it's worth to not have a god keepsake for tartarus and just match whatever god you get to get another boon from them

#

because most god's second tier boons synergize with the core boons

stone rune
#

on some aspects you can start shackle and do that

storm imp
#

i just become the thunder lord >,< missing the legendary tho 😦

#

120 excape attemps and Nicte keeps talking >0<

#

bro floor 32 and still no hermes boon, wtf x,x

did it get erebus'd or smth

storm imp
#

get the 1º in floor 34, skip a couple of hermes cause chaos, aiming for %matrials X_X need toons of darkness :))

mint coral
#

yeah chaos makes sense lol

#

also are you actually going for maxing out ranks

storm imp
#

i dont think i will play so much, im pretty much done

#

i have companions i like maxed, others at 3, weapons i like maxed with a couple of extra cause why not xD, all music buy, and all decos... indeed im wasting crystals already in things that i can not put cause overlap with others xP

#

need 1 more extra rare fish from hades arena for the codex T_T ... idk why i manage to keep ultrares in other places but always mess it up in the last map

#

im so adicted tho... xDD i love it, i did hate 32 and some under 10 runs, now i just play ffun

limpid ocean
#

does deadly reversal allow crits with everything, or only stuff that already has a % chance to crit?

latent moon
#

iirc there's like certain things that can't crit, but i dont remember what those things are
but otherwise it's basically just pressure points

#

pressure points with a bigger number and a caveat

limpid ocean
#

NICE

#

well I took it and finally cleared elysium for the first time today

#

like 3 hours of playing poseidon on 40 heat

#

ended up doing lighning phalanx build

#

if I can roll mirage shot in styx I am GOOOOD

storm imp
#

repeat heat lvls dosnt reward with more darkness from bosses right? heat 0 to farm darkness is the way to go ?

latent moon
#

yeah but it's better to run a couple of pacts for a faster run

#

em2, fo2, and td1-3

storm imp
#

why make it faster?

latent moon
#

em2 since the arena is smaller, fo2 bc enemies spawn faster, and td to remove tartarus survival rooms

#

so you can do more runs

#

to farm more darkness

rose roost
limpid ocean
#

somehow no artemis in styx, 3x zeus in the shop lol

storm imp
#

whats is fo2 ? and td 1-3? srry im spanish xP

latent moon
#

forced overtime and tight deadline

storm imp
#

em - extreme measures, didnt know about the others <,<

limpid ocean
#

but i got a hermes and 2 rerolls to get either greater recall or rush delivery

latent moon
#

the abbreivations are just the first 2 letters of the pact names

limpid ocean
#

i got greater recall LETS GO

storm imp
latent moon
#

oh lmao that would make sense

#

forced overtime is the +20% speed for enemies

#

tight deadline is the timer per biome

limpid ocean
#

styx tunnels with lightning phalanx + greater recall lmao "hold right click simulator"

storm imp
#

Fo dosnt make they do more damage too ?

#

and it apply to bosses, idk if i will run it xD

latent moon
#

they dont technically deal more damage

#

they just attack faster

#

so you have to react faster

storm imp
#

i see, i missunderstod the description i guess

latent moon
#

it does mess up your internal timings that you already have, but it can be nice to learn

#

so you would get hit more while getting used to it lmao

storm imp
#

i get hit a lot usually, specially in bosses xD ... elites and other stuff are not a big deal but i like to spam attacks hard xD

#

i wish that chaos egg keepsake garanted a chaos spawn 😦 ... so i can aim for those % materials runs easy...

#

i dont wanna break my win strike tho xP so w/e ...

limpid ocean
#

sigh. I lost to hades

#

couldnt get special to hit when all my bloodstones were in like three times in a row while i framing off call

#

he did like 150 damage to me during that time

#

was so close too

storm imp

120 runs and still no trio romance in my room :(((

trio romance?

how does "Rush Kick" hammer interact with "Demetter" twin fists ?

Idk the damage numbers tbh

FO2 is the best pact in the game

the thing with the animation and hitboxes no clue

i want to start Re4r but i cant stop playing hades T0T

#

i have 122 excape atemps, over 90h, around 60k darkness... and the last title ask for 350k darknes in total xD will be awsome but i think is to much T_T

#

half or more of that runs were geting materials, no farming darkness tho... with good rng and %materials from chaos and poseidon you can make 2k per run x,x still a hell lot of runs

#

the more i get once was 1200 darkness just from hades >3< wish was always like that xD

steep condor
#

i also never farmed darkness, getting the title doesn't matter to me, and i still have... well last time i checked it was 300-something hoursbouldy it's a good game, dw

#

Hey guys

#

I maxed out every dark skill in the mirror of night except FATED AUTHORITY and PRIVILEGED STATUS

#

Should i max them or max out yellow skills?

#

And if i max out yellow skills what should i max first?

#

?

#

Also im very bad at the game

#

I die on stupid things

#

Like the first boss or second one

#

I did reach hades second phase tho:)

rustic vale
#

Fiery presence, cthonic regen, death defiance, greater reflex, boiling blood, infernal soul, deep pockets, thick skin, family favourites , dark foresight, gods pride, fated persuasion

#

let me

#

mentally

#

double check that list

#

Fiery presence > Shadow Presence
for room-to-room damage, you can consistently one or twoshot more enemies and no “just positioning better” is not a good alternative to just hitting them from your initial direction

#

Cthonic regen > Dark Regen
Cthonic extremely consistent, meaningful hp regen where dark regen is almost always little to nothing inconsistently or a huge chunk when you already have a fountain immediately after a boss fight

#

Death defiance > stubborn defiance (for now).
If you are consistently getting through most regular rooms without dying, death defiance is your friend (for now), extra lives against bosses tend to become more important (for now)

#

Greater reflex > Ruthless reflex.
You have a better shot at avoiding damage by just having a second dash rather than relying on the 50% chance post nearmiss, and a 2nd dash is a dps double on 90% of weapons alongside the extra mobility and positioning potential

#

Boiling Blood > Abyssal blood
because killing enemies faster is a great form of defence, and it’s a minor time commitment to cast that will greatly reduce your time spent in the tankier fights

#

Infernal Soul ≈ Stygian soul.
Unless you’re using a castpect, then you want to use infernal soul unless your casts last >3s (trippy shot, trippy flare, dem cast)

#

It’s personal preference whether or not you want to be able to shoot 3 or just have 1 recharge you don’t have to chase on weapons/aspects that aren’t cast focused

#

Deep pockets > Golden Touch
Money early >>> money later.
Tartarus is the place to solidify your build, and so being able to make purchases from tartarus shops is super valuable. You also want to spend money soon after you get it to get the most value as possible, with the exception of holding out for 500 obols on a 3rd hermes from styx or well items

#

Thick Skin > High Confidence.
High confidence probably won’t ve doing much for you for now, so I’d just take thick skin so you survive longer. High Confidence is useful for speedrunning but right now you’re just trying to figure out Hades at all & that damage boost isn’t going to get much mileage this early

#

Family Favourite > Priviledged Status.
Family favourite is immediate, and applies to every hit, and isn’t even that much lower then priv status when you hit your 4 olympians + hermes

#

where priv status only applies after 2 different status curses, meaning the enemy has to survive 2 hits and have 2 different status curses in your build for it to be viable

#

works with hangover builds & that’s about it

#

Dark Foresight > Olympian Favour.
Dark Foresight may be unclear in what it does, but essentiallt what it does is increase your odds at seeing gold laurel rewards (in-run boosts and upgrades), and decreases the odds of seeing blue laurels (out of run currency) by the same amount

#

This upgrade is stupid powerful

#

having loads more boons, obols and hearts goes a lot farther than 20% rare chance

#

Gods Pride > God’s legacy.

Duo boons are plenty common as is, rarity on your important boons (and particularly chaos and hermes) goes a long way

#

This is build dependent but typically even duo reliant builds take god’s pride for the rarity boost

#

Fated Persuasion > Fated Authority.

Hermes alone makes rerolls super valuable. Throw in chaos as well, and you’ve got a deadly arguement for persuasion. And then you remember that you could theoretically use the rerolls to reroll regular boons, purging pools, and charon wells so monopolise your build

#

Wherr

#

Authority just says “hey you get a random shot in the dark at a new room if you didn’t like this one I guess”

#

so

#

That’s me concluded

#

I hope that insight helps but I’m honestly worried about how cohesive it is when it’s this late at night for me

rustic vale

#

It takes time to get better

#

that’s how skills work

oh based carry on

#

Well like I initially missed them in the morning

#

And then realised about half an hour before I had to go to work

#

That I hadn’t taken them

#

So I weighed my options and decided to take them

#

And so I decided to come back to my favourite pastime of spreading Hades information

#

Although I figure there won’t be much info to spread

#

Given

#

It’s like 2:24am for most NA residents

and that’s likely the largest chunk of active ssg discord users

if its too late i think its recommended to not take them and just wait for the next day/time

oh this was definitely an abnormal case

#

but I wasn’t about to make it 2 shifts in a row without my adhd meds

#

Last one was rough without them and I figured I’d rather take them late & suffer the consequences post shift

Also, is posideon the only castspect that uses infernal soul instead of stygian?

fervent radish
#

Beo and hera do

Unless trippy flare

#

Achilles usually uses infernal

limpid ocean

I thought beo was always only trippy? As in no other casts being near as good as trippy on beo

I'm trying to clear 40 with achilles rn

fervent radish

Trippy has a higher damage ceiling but takes mega rng to reach

#

Stones upon stones

limpid ocean
#

I got 40 done with shield, rail, sword, only spear and fists remain

#

I don't think either will be as hard as poseidon was for me

fervent radish
#

Beo likes flood flare best since it’s a mirage shot prereq so you’re close to 2x damage anyways

mint coral
limpid ocean
#

in the past my strat for achillies was to go stygian, start artemis and take ares or demeter cast (whichever shows first), go for duo, get as many extra stones as possible

fervent radish

That’s fair

Hunting blades probably safest

No clue, but it goes on sale relatively often so you shouldn't have to wait too long

but like do you have any estimated idea

prob the summer sale

#

so maybe like a month and a half ish

its gone on sale on steam 9 times in the last year

last year it was on sale for spring sale (march), a random sale in mid april, and summer sale (june)

expected price?

my guess would be $25-40

Thanks. For zag bow, is art or aph better for primary attack?

#

with art dash strike

fervent radish
#

Generally aphro>arty because crits are inconsistent and arty base % isn’t great

#

Arty mostly useful when you have a strong base damage already and your crits become disproportionately stronger

#

PP+HM is very strong though so arty in the build is gaming, esp with hunter dash

true oak
#

I much prefer artemis zagbow start because it's easier to get HM, and doesn't need to be high rarity

Dash can be aphro dash for heart rend, athena for deadly reversal, or just arty

Arty atk bow ain't that bad bc you have twin/triple

What heat would you guys say "high heat" starts at?

stone rune
#

32

stone rune
#

32 is the generally agreed upon value for high heat

oak beacon
#

A few months ago I would've never thought a 32-Heat clear would've been possible for me, but I was able to do it by practicing a lot with conditions that weren't as difficult imo

fervent radish
#

32+ is pushing past what the game recognizes so it’s a good blanket answer

stone rune
#

32 is easy

#

40 as well

#

above that it gets like exponentially harder after a point

upper wolf
#

what do you mean by "easy" tho

#

100% winrate ?

stone rune
#

yeah

#

i guess

#

its a lot harder if you have a bad pact/build/aspect

#

but with the right setup it can be harder to lose than win

upper wolf
#

fair enough

fervent radish
stone rune
#

thats probably how good heat players feel about 50 heat lol

#

in terms of what the community recognizes its always 32

#

even if most of us here find it easy

upper wolf
#

I still think you need at least good knowledge of enemy patterns and skill at avoiding their attacks

fervent radish
#

Not with a shield

#

Td0 stubborn roots type build

upper wolf
#

if you've got time to do that run, you've got time to learn enemy patterns on TD3 FO2

stone rune
#

the immortal td2 first 32 with a td3 time

#

i remember being so sad about the 1 death between my first win and the rest of them

#

what streak did i get to anyways before swapping profilse

#

thought it was like 130 something

#

oh man i remember when i would run smair every hestia run

#

because nyaanyaa said it was the best duo

stone rune
#

going through these old victory screenshots is crazy

fervent radish
stone rune
#

i thought i was so good after that first sub6

fervent radish
#

50+ is high for me

stone rune
#

oh yeah i started an all aspects 40 heat project

#

i got through a grand total of 2

#

i have more aspects at 50 than 40 lol

#

at 40 i think i have beo hestia chaos and zagsword

#

anyways sorry for derailing everything

upper wolf
#

bruh

#

we're in the hades discord

#

in the discussion channel

#

how the hell do you think talking about your past runs derails anything ? zaglol

autumn rose
stone rune
#

im not going to finish it lol

#

its a drag

autumn rose
#

i wanted to 45 on as many aspects as possible but it's such a daunting time commitment

#

i settled for one 45 clear per weapon

#

Guys do you know the name of the river of Asphodel in game?

stone rune
#

isnt it phlegethon

finite thorn
#

That's what I thought, not sure :x

pure dawn
#

Interesting thing, is that after i beat a boss, beating it again is 5x easier
is this intentional or is it more confidence or something like that?

#

like i beat the game once after 2 months, and then 3 times in 4 runs

stone rune
#

you got better

finite thorn
#

And something I noticed in this game is that you often get better without knowing how

void vigil
#

moved recently and i thought i somehow lost my hades shirt
it has been found smilingsealion

latent moon
#

I mean just unlock the mirror with keys? Like you did with the rest of the mirror lmao

hollow salmon
#

he tells me he blames the pact

#

and ritual inspection

void vigil
#

remove that heat modifier and try again

hollow salmon
#

already done

upper wolf
#

routine inspection locks off the bottom 3 skills from the mirror.

hollow salmon
#

how do they unlock?

upper wolf
#

I mean, remove the pact, then it's same as any other skill

#

fwiw the two you listed are the very last line of the mirror

hollow salmon
#

How do you remove the pact?

sour fog
#

you go to the pact and just disable the routine inspection option

That’s how beo bosses so quickly

i genuily cant tell if its a lie or not

fervent radish

We’re dirty liars

stone rune
#

i wonder which is more tolerable, 32 heat sub530 or 40 heat sub6

pure dawn
#

its so satisfying to 5s kill theseus. Because it was the main cause of me temp quitting the game

#

Accidentaly made a strong cast combo

#

Help when I try to open Hades on steam deck it says to choose a launcher

"Play Hades (DirectX - Default)"
"Play Hades (Vulkan - Steam Deck)"

#

What do i do

#

I dont know pc stuff i dont know what either of these are

jagged hamlet
#

Just pick either. Doesn't really matter

plain dove
#

But why do i have to choose then

#

What is the difference

jagged hamlet
#

They're different graphics APIs. If you don't know, then don't worry about it

#

Only switch if you encounter issues with whichever you choose

plain dove
jagged hamlet
#

Not necessarily. Ideally no differences

plain dove
#

Hmm

#

The fan is going a bit loud for how low graphics this game is

#

Yeah it never made my switch this hot

#

And theres no graphics settings

#

Maybe i should change the resolution in the steam settings?
