Typical Hermes

[stone sun]

L hermes in ely

nvm he gave than

Bruh

[stone sun]

abt to fight hades pom or anvil

@plush kelp

[rustic vale]

depends on if you want to rng manip anvil

[stone sun]

Well I have Ares on almost every boon power

so why not

[rustic vale]

Which weapon is this?

[jagged hamlet]

And importantly, which weapon are you 🐌

[rustic vale]

/aspect

and which hammers do you already have

[stone sun]

Dependant on my rants what do you think

also alr choose going to fight now

[rustic vale]

Scrolling up

Not a single thing

Tells me what aspect you’re using

[stone sun]

Gilgamesh

[rustic vale]

Oh

You’re playing a weapon where the hammers hardly do anything as is

[brisk trail]

Goodbye Hades family, I am going to work

Are the hammers the best upgrades?

I always get the hammers

I don’t like the poms

[rustic vale]

aside from breaching cross and breaching cross doesn’t affect your hades fight

[rustic vale]

Poms depend o. Your boons

Hammers depend on your weapon and build

Like after double edge on sword you might skip your second hammer because 4/12 remaining hammers would negatively affect you and it’s not uncommon to roll into 3 of them

[brisk trail]

Oh I thought it was 2 maximum

[rustic vale]

poms really pop off hard for most boons on the first and second pom

[rustic vale]

It is 2 max ifyou don’t count anvil but what I’m saying it

It’s not uncommon for the 3 option you end up rolling on sword

To be all negatively effecting you

[stone sun]

Beat him

What Shall it take

See... you... at.. home....

Prince

GOD DAMN IT THAN STOP TALKING TO PEOPLE

[plush kelp]

Let the man speak

[rustic vale]

Poms are build dependent, mainly doing well for just the first 1 or 2 levels of a boon. They aren’t bad, and in a few cases are extremely valuable

[plush kelp]

He needs to interact with people

[rustic vale]

Like

Hangover pops off since it’s a linear increase every time

[stone sun]

HADES CONGRULATED MEEEEE

[plush kelp]

Anyway, I'll be out for a while

Don't call me

Folclore calls

[rustic vale]

Plans ruined

[rustic vale]

Or on doom build you want poms on both your doom source and impending doom to max out your dps

or tidal dash / whatever cast you’re using for a castpect

Lots of places that benefit from a few poms

They aren’t bad/ you shouldn’t always avoid or dislike them

They have their place in your power scaling too

[stone sun]

One more full run and I get the blood required to finish off Gun Zagreus aspect and be able to get hidden aspect

Damn Hades just called himself a foreigner

How do I do rank thingy

I unlocked it but idk how to start

[rustic vale]

?

[stone sun]

The Rank

[rustic vale]

Like resource director?

[stone sun]

ill just look in wiki

[stone sun]

YE

[rustic vale]

He’s in dad’s chambers

[stone sun]

Ew

[rustic vale]

You go talk to him, give him darkness, he gives you a cosmetic title

it takes 325k darkness to thru every one

there are 50 total and cost scales

[stone sun]

ik

Scales?

[rustic vale]

Yeah it starts out costing like

500 darkness

Then 1000

I can’t remember the actual pricing to start

Every level goes up by 500 every 5th level goes down 1000

[stone sun]

https://hades.fandom.com/wiki/Resource_Director?so=search

Sigma Warden WHY IS THIS ONE

325,000 Darkness
100 Chthonic Key
50 Nectar
10 Diamond
10 Ambrosia
10 Titan Blood

[mint coral]

Lmao

Game gave me even more lvls instead

[lavish sorrel]

the best timeline

[mint coral]

My savestate was 350 doom procs vs 389~

Also one of my attempts was with hangover

That was an experience

[lavish sorrel]

Anyhow noob can I have your leftover good RNG for my winstreak plsthx

[stone sun]

https://hades.fandom.com/wiki/Companions Correct me if I'm wrong but On mort you can't use it during hades can you?

[mint coral]

Take it all

[mint coral]

You need to get permission from dad firdt

[stone sun]

And How you get that

[mint coral]

Pretty sure the same page indicates what you need

But is like nectar to dad, have 1 companion that works vs dad and 1 that doesn't then dialogue

Iirc

[formal solstice]

is 9.6% dodge from the prune worth not taking a dif keepsake?

i am not fast enough for this

[rustic vale]

Plume just ain’t worth

[formal solstice]

yeah it feels kinda like that

[rustic vale]

really every

[formal solstice]

i kept it to unlock hermes

[rustic vale]

same thing with butterfly btw

[formal solstice]

ah

[rustic vale]

They’re both opportunity cost

for too little of a bonus

[stone sun]

I need four hearts with hades

[rustic vale]

You’ll be better off with god keepsakes in tartarus and asphodel (to force in the build you want), defensive keepsakes or util (hourglass, purse) for elysium and defense or ||dad call|| for styx

So

It really isn’t worth lossing control of your build for the first 2 biomes

[brisk trail]

Nyx my beloved

[rustic vale]

And by that point you won’t be getting enough stacks to justify it over defensive keepsakes

[brisk trail]

Hades didn’t have kids with Nyx right?

[formal solstice]

i should be doing hourglass and pursue more tbh

i havent been using them as much as i should

[rustic vale]

Yeah

[formal solstice]

ive mostly been running collar and god keepsakes

[rustic vale]

Oh when I say defensive keepsakes btw

I

pretty much exclusively mean acorn

[formal solstice]

oh

i have not been using acorn

at all

which ones that again?

is that the damge immunity one?

[rustic vale]

X free hits in boss fights

[formal solstice]

ah

ill equip it for hades

it never seemed that great to me tbh

but i havent used ig

[rustic vale]

Typically means a lot more hp save than skelly or tooth

[mint coral]

Dad's weakest attack is 20

[stone sun]

NEVER INSULT A GIFT FROM CERBY

[rustic vale]

He’s not talking about cerbys collar

But

Or she

[stone sun]

Collar...

[rustic vale]

I didn’t check

[formal solstice]

ive been using cerby's collar

[stone sun]

W

[formal solstice]

like exclusively

i love my dog :D

he eats people but besides that

[rustic vale]

Cerbys collar is pretty bleh in terms of defensive keepsakes like

[stone sun]

Agreeable

[rustic vale]

You’ll get a lot more raw value from acorn

[formal solstice]

ill do acorn this run

im still on like

heat 5 tho

[stone sun]

I talked to Bouldy

[rustic vale]

Patty’s invul is fine ish for heroes where you have a lot more attacks going on but hades fight isn’t attacking fast enough for it to be worth it

Even at 40% faster

[brisk trail]

I would have kids with her

[rustic vale]

Acorn really gains value with heat when enemies are attacking for twice as much

[brisk trail]

I’m only missing the last boon

I typically use health boost, coins, and extra death defiance boons

[rustic vale]

do you mean

the keepsakes?

Boons are the in-run upgrades you pick up from gods

[plush kelp]

Last keepsake is Hades's

[rustic vale]

Keepsakes are the little trinkets npcs gave you that you choose and swap around between stages

[plush kelp]

Unless you're talking about the last one whose space appears, in which case it's Persephone's

[rustic vale]

generally speaking it’s better to start with god keepsakes off the bat to guarantee the functionality of your build rather than throwing everything to the fates

[plush kelp]

"The Fates are cruel, son"

[rustic vale]

then you take things like coins or defense for elysium and defense for styx

[brisk trail]

My bad I meant keepsakes

[rustic vale]

Mhm I still have yet to get heroic swift strike on a meme zag sword/flurry slash piercing wave run

I really just need 3 things to fall into place

Flurry slash, purple swift strike prior to finding eury, and finding eury

[stone sun]

I SWEAR WHEN I NEED A CHARACTER THEIR TALKING TO SOME1

[plush kelp]

Let them

[rustic vale]

This is too much to ask thou

apparently

And so is the stars aligning for me to actually get dps boons when I run spear 32 heat

Like

I have the dumbest skissue with spear

[lavish sorrel]

Have yu tried guaning

Play it like bow

[rustic vale]

Yes

I did

I said I needed the stars to align for dps boons no?

The closest I got was guan-yu with charged skewrr and 0 special boons

I can’t remember what was on my specila but it was

not enough

I timed out in hades fight

with him at like 1/4 of second phase

since I had no damage

[stone sun]

24 heat when only 13 needed lets goo

[rustic vale]

Also how am I getting away with crap like this

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/725021639506526249/1218635230811000982/IMG_7595.jpg?ex=6635dd40&is=66348bc0&hm=65198f4e15bb0c985c232b5fad7525ee6ea04ec53f022ecafe80566a6796f732&

and yet no spear 32 heat clear

[fervent radish]

thats a build wdym

[rustic vale]

Idk it’s a meme in my head when I play it

[stone sun]

EM4 is activated

wish me luck

[rustic vale]

Good luck

You’ll need it

It’s a very different fight from what I remember

[stone sun]

Eh I beat him almost every time I try it so ye and I beat it first try it's just SLIGHTLY the hardest challenge in the game

Smash or Pass Aphro

[rustic vale]

It’s a completely different fight

Iirc

[stone sun]

Ik

[rustic vale]

I don’t run it often because 40 heat is kind of

[scarlet ember]

can i upgrade my weapon? before entering tatarus

[stone sun]

I've fought him before

[rustic vale]

Once you have all 6 base weapons you’ll unlock aspects

which are

weapon upgrades but you can only choose one at a time

[stone sun]

https://hades.fandom.com/wiki/Infernal_Arms

[rustic vale]

some are straight stat boosts others completely change how weapons function

You don’t necessarily need to drop a wiki link the second something is mentioned

especially when I’m in the process of explaining something that doesn’t require a full wikipage to spell out

[stone sun]

It's helpful

[rustic vale]

.

[stone sun]

Should I give necter to Bouldy?

[rustic vale]

Yes

You get a boon

[stone sun]

What does it do

[rustic vale]

depends

[stone sun]

is it helpful

[rustic vale]

depends

[stone sun]

god

fine

[rustic vale]

Bouldy can boost Atk damage, special damage, cast damage, damage reduction, obol gain and movespeed from 1-10% and ambiguity by 2%

[stone sun]

You believe in Bouldy, Bouldy Believes in You.

[rustic vale]

it’s a random stat and a random +% from the above options

Hence the double “depends”

[stone sun]

Heart Of Stone

[rustic vale]

I did not mean to come off passive agressive or anything there I was just typing fast

[stone sun]

Meg, Alecto, Tisphone time

[rustic vale]

Most useful of these is typically movespeed (get a larger universal boost to damage from rush delivery)

[stone sun]

Don't you love using the well and rerolling to get the same things in a different order

[stone sun]

Bro loves his Bouldy Boon

[lone carbon]

hi guys i just started the game (yesterday) and i bought the second life with the mirror but now it gives me another green option and i revive with 30percent of my hp so is this better or not ?

like i dont really get the difference excpet the hp u gets when u revive

[stone sun]

for Me the life is better

Do you mind if I tell you what the max version of that does

?

[rustic vale]

The second one lets you die every room

[lone carbon]

tell me

[rustic vale]

and recharges every room

[lone carbon]

so this is overcheat right ?

[rustic vale]

Death defiance has more max uses and restores more max hp

[twin thistle]

For the base difficulty, regular death defiances matter more since they give you a larger health pool against bosses which are your main worry

[lone carbon]

ok

thanks

[rustic vale]

But they don’t recharge every room like stubborn defiance

[lone carbon]

i see

[rustic vale]

Stubborn defiance gets a lot more relevant at a later stage in the game where you have a difficulty setting on that turns all healing aside from it to 0%

[stone sun]

Honestly Stubborn Defiance is boring to me

gets rid of some of the thrill

but that is just me

[rustic vale]

Stubborn defiance is way more relevant when you can’t heal at all and enemies are dealing 2* the damage

So the game has a lot more danger anyways

At that point if you’re keeping your death defiances you usually aren’t meeting the times for tight deadline

[brisk trail]

Who played the hades 2 demo?

[stone sun]

I always meet max Deadline except for sometimes in Styx but thats abt it

[rustic vale]

Are you running lc4 hl 5

?

[stone sun]

Please dont shorten things I don't know what those all meannn

[rustic vale]

[twin thistle]

This

[rustic vale]

hard labour 5 (enemies deal +100% damage)
Lasting conditions 4(you heal 0% normal values)

[stone sun]

Oh, Ye

[rustic vale]

oh and I should have mentioned

Forced overtime

For 40% more attack speed

On all enemies

At that point in the game

keeping your dd’s is usually playing it a bit too safe to meet deadlines unless you’re quite skilled

[stone sun]

I usally always meet it

no matter what

unless again

your Name is the temple of styx

[rustic vale]

you are running

those heat options?

[stone sun]

Ye

[rustic vale]

[brisk trail]

Bouldy is the hottest hades character

Both in looks and the personality department

[stone sun]

WHAT THE

[stone sun]

TARTERUS

[rustic vale]

Idk it’s just s little odd to me that someone who doesn’t even know like standard abbreviatikns is balling that hard

[brisk trail]

Bouldy just has a way with words

[stone sun]

Idk this server

[brisk trail]

No wonder Sisyphus is always happy, he always gets boudly to himself

[stone sun]

I joined like two days ago

[stone sun]

Please stfu

[nocturne kelp]

Someone tell bouldy abt this

[rustic vale]

Still like

[brisk trail]

Damn

[rustic vale]

Thats even crazier tbh because

Getting that good on your own (or even worse, with reddits help) is

To be sitting fine on hl5 lc4 fo2 td3 with dd’s

is something I would not expect

[brisk trail]

So Melinoe is the younger sibling?

I wonder where she was this whole time

[rustic vale]

yes

[rustic vale]

Not born yet

[stone sun]

also, remember, I like using Gilgamesh

[rustic vale]

That’s unreasonable

[brisk trail]

I like that in Hades 1 you can ask Hades if he had other kids and he’s like “wtf would I do that?”

Poor Melinoe not acknowledged

[rustic vale]

do you have a victory screen I could see because that seems outlandish to me

[stone sun]

Let me get one rq

itll be hard tho since I play on my swtich

[rustic vale]

I play switch too

[stone sun]

and you have

[rustic vale]

I typically just turn off the liggts and take a photo with my phone

[stone sun]

to y'know

[rustic vale]

Or I connect my phone to my switch and send a ss

[stone sun]

don't own one for me

I use my laptop

[rustic vale]

I guess you could also connect facebook to your switch

Post it there

[stone sun]

ew

[rustic vale]

I did that with a burner email when my phone wasn’t working properly

[brisk trail]

Lol

[plush kelp]

What's happening here?

[brisk trail]

I want to see Persephone hug Zagreus and Melinoe

[jagged hamlet]

I wanna see mama birb Nyx cover the two of them with her hair like hens sometimes cover their chicks with their wings

[brisk trail]

Nyx has great hair

I need to know her shampoo routine

[plush kelp]

L'Oréal

[rotund heath]

It's magic

[stone sun]

I haven't done it with EM4 yet

[rustic vale]

Not an issue

[brisk trail]

I was going to ask how you would feel about a song with vocals in hades but then I remembered there already was

[stone sun]

Thats what Im trying rn

[rustic vale]

I’m more interested in just hl5, lc4, fo2, td3 with dds

any more heat is just a bonus

[plush kelp]

There's like four lyric songs in Hades

[brisk trail]

Does the heat reward you anything?

[rustic vale]

Bounties up to 20 heat

Past that it’s just flex

[plush kelp]

Skelly's statues, which is a mission

[rustic vale]

and Skelly statue at 32

[brisk trail]

So much to do in hades

I don’t get how supergiant games can afford to put it on sale for $8

That price is a steal!

[plush kelp]

It's called a discount

[stone sun]

it's called not enough people own this game

[brisk trail]

It do be their best selling game I assume

If you could change anything about Hades what would you change?

[stone sun]

That you have to wait a whole run just to gift multiple necter

one per meeting

I hate that

so much

[mint coral]

Getting specific dialogues less annoying

[brisk trail]

I would add one more location or make it easier to get more gems, darkness, ambrosia, etc

[stone sun]

those are all easy to get

Actually no the one thing we must add is Bouldy Dialouge

[brisk trail]

I know 3 ways to get those things

I should look more into though perhaps there is a way it is less grindy

[brisk trail]

I won’t

[rustic vale]

The part where you can’t romance arte- I mean fix up a few hammers and add more

[jagged hamlet]

Artemis is fun. She has super "girl next door" energy

[brisk trail]

I love her

I like Aphrodite too

How flirty she is

And her pink hair

[jagged hamlet]

Aphrodite frightens me

[brisk trail]

Why?

[jagged hamlet]

Because she seems like a bloodthirsty, vengeful menace under a thin, flirty veneer

[plush kelp]

She is

Lmao

That's her whole deal

[brisk trail]

Makes her hotter

[jagged hamlet]

Also also also it's like that thing where someone charging at you is much more menacing when they're buck naked

It’s just whoever gets ME or mirage first

[jagged hamlet]

Sounds as fun as PvP in Magicka!

[brisk trail]

How many times did you fight him already?

[mint coral]

this is a fresh file so it'd be the first lmao

decided to just skip it tho lmao

[hot bloom]

Charon scares me more than em4 hades

[brisk trail]

I love Charon

[hot bloom]

I mean like his fight is more scary

Charon is my fav boat guy

[plush kelp]

Once you know how to dodge his moves, it's all fine

[hot bloom]

He still scaryyyy

[plush kelp]

It's all in your mind

[mint coral]

charon is funny

fight him in tart or nothing

[brisk trail]

Dusa is too cute. Her voice is just.

[plush kelp]

[brisk trail]

We must protect her at all costs

I also love when she flies off screen after talking to you

[hot bloom]

I dont wanna make him mad 🥺

[mint coral]

he likes the sparring

[brisk trail]

He will forgive you

[plush kelp]

He likes it

And gives you a discount!

[brisk trail]

Spoiler

[plush kelp]

It's not like you actually kill him anyway

[hot bloom]

But he yells at me when i do itt.. he goes Hrrrrggggghhh!

[plush kelp]

And?

He's always like thay

That's how he talks

[brisk trail]

I like chaos

[hot bloom]

But now its angry at mee

[brisk trail]

I always go into the chaos gates

[plush kelp]

Sparring with him can have Zag imitate his speech

[brisk trail]

I feel like chaos is non binary

Idunno why

[plush kelp]

If you complete hermes bet

[hot bloom]

Oh i knoww, i screenshotted the convo xD

[plush kelp]

Everyone feels that

They're a multi-individual

[brisk trail]

Chaos existed before gender

[plush kelp]

Whatever you wanna call it

[hot bloom]

Also Nyx refers to chaos as “they” in conversation

[plush kelp]

Yeah, they're a multi-entity

[hot bloom]

“It” is insulting.. just saying 🙂

[plush kelp]

Not just one, but many

That "it" wasn't for Chaos

Was for the other word I used

[brisk trail]

“For the last time Zagreus our pronouns are they/them not because we are non binary but because we are literally multi individual”

[hot bloom]

Oh okay good lmao

[vague rivet]

I beated Hades once again!

[plush kelp]

Nice

[hot bloom]

Poor hades

[brisk trail]

Oh look a hellfish

throws fishing rod into the water

[vague rivet]

It is the 6th time now

Did it four times in a row

[hot bloom]

“ i caught a slavug!”

[plush kelp]

Flameater~

[vague rivet]

So um

[plush kelp]

Ooooh
Awesome

[vague rivet]

Sooooo About the whole ||war on Olympus thing...||

[plush kelp]

Nice going there

[plush kelp]

What about it

[hot bloom]

Undercase that “about” 😭😭

Improper captilizationnnn

[vague rivet]

I didnt expect this game,s lore would be this deep

[plush kelp]

||there's no war, what are you talking about||

What do your words mean

[vague rivet]

Persephone said something about a ||war|| if the gods found out what Hades and Persephone did

[plush kelp]

||but who says it will happen?||

[brisk trail]

How the heck did hades make a kid with Persephone?

[plush kelp]

||no one said it happened||

||it doesn't happen. They manage to make it not happen||

[vague rivet]

That's also another thing I keep thinking about

[oak olive]

Why she keep hiding

[plush kelp]

You guys aren't serious.....

[plush kelp]

Play the gme nd find out

Or watch on YouTube

Whichever you prefer

[oak olive]

Yeah i will but spoil it for me

[hot bloom]

In some cases… like Athena, i believe she just popped out of zeus forehead… in another story, zeus swallowed his wife and then emerged from his forehead fully grown

When gods are concerned.. conceiving a child doesnt involve…. Action

[oak olive]

Zeus also became a duck and grope some one

[plush kelp]

||because she got devastated with Zag's birth. He was stillborn, but Nyx managed to convince the Fated to bring him back. Perse doesn't know of it, already gone by then||

[hot bloom]

Zeus is the cosmic F boy… so ya know

[oak olive]

I mean why she hide from the olympians

[plush kelp]

Are you people seriously wondering how Hades and Persephone got a kid?

[oak olive]

I know that already

[plush kelp]

Because Olympus is vengeful

[oak olive]

Hades is like 3 times the size of persephone

[plush kelp]

||especially her mom||

[oak olive]

Oh

[plush kelp]

||and Zeus was involved in the whole ordeal of bringing Persephone to the Underworld. Demeter finds that out, it's an all out war||

[brisk trail]

Oh I see

[hot bloom]

Its really weird

[brisk trail]

Lol

[plush kelp]

Surprisingly enough, Hera is the one said to randomly just hve Heoh, without a father

[hot bloom]

Like Nyx for example… if she is the daughter of Chaos

[brisk trail]

Y E S it’s the number one thing I question in that game

[plush kelp]

Just Hera

[oak olive]

Zeus is defo a gooner

[hot bloom]

And chaos is the very start of everything

They just kinda.. hey you my daughter and poof nyx appears

[plush kelp]

Nyx's children are mostly just hers. They don't have a father either. Only later accounts have Erebus as Nyx's husband and father to her children, tho that's mostly the Roman version

Similar thing

[brisk trail]

Nyx the Goated single mom

[plush kelp]

Hermes also has a daughter that he just created out of thin air. Angelia, Daimon/Spirit of messages

It wasn't entirely uncommon

I mean, do you know Aphrodite's birth?

Or the Furies?

Or Pegasus?

[brisk trail]

Can the gods teach me how to asexually produce?

[plush kelp]

Pegasus can still be said to have a father, Poseidon, but he was still born out of Medusa's blood after Perseus killed her

[hot bloom]

Wait so if… if a child is born out of nothing… would it be considered || incest || considering everything basically starts with it

Or no?

Since there is no action involved

Ya know ima pretend i didnt ask, this weird lmao

[plush kelp]

When a child is born of nothing, there's just one parent

Not two

So the answer is no

[hot bloom]

I thought soooo

[brisk trail]

Greek mythology is pretty dope

[plush kelp]

Like I said, some myths have Hera conceiving Hephaestus alone, mostly as a retaliation for Zeus having add Athena with Metis

[hot bloom]

Aphro was born from sea foam after Kronos took Ouranos’ nuts and threw them in the ocean

[plush kelp]

Hermes just randomly created a daimon of messages out of thin air one day

[hot bloom]

🙂

[plush kelp]

The Furies were born from the blood of a Titan

All similar scenarios

[hot bloom]

Its atleast one version i heard of her birth

[brisk trail]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[plush kelp]

It's her birth

I don't think there's another

Wait, I think there is actually

One where she's a daighter of Zeus

[hot bloom]

I would just feel uncomfortable… imagine traveling the earth just holding onto your dads nuts like tf

[hot bloom]

Yeah i believe there is one where she is just naturally conceived

Idk with who but

[brisk trail]

I feel like making YouTube channel just to post hades memes

Hades players when they realize the final boss has a second phase

[pine vortex]

back when i played for the first time and i got to hades and then hit the second phase

i was so madge when he merked me, since it was my first time fighting them

[brisk trail]

I wish you could practice fighting Achilles

Like an upgraded skelly

[pine vortex]

lol

[brisk trail]

Hello Murph

What made you want to play Hades?

[pine vortex]

girlfriend wanted me to play

and i really enjoyed it

actually i have the clip of me beating hades for the first time, ill send it in victory boasting

[brisk trail]

Based girlfriend

[pine vortex]

after that first victory, i went on to get a 21 win streak too

i locked in

and and, the free win saved my streak

that run was so bad

the heavens aligned oml

[brisk trail]

I only won twice

With the rail gun

[pine vortex]

i think rail gun was my least used weapon

I was a hard bow fan

like half of the wins was bow

[brisk trail]

I don’t like the bow

Needs charge up and spread fire doesn’t work well for me

[pine vortex]

yeah I hardly ever used charge unless i got the home upgrade

not the charge, the spread

charging i did constantly

[twin thistle]

Main thing with the bow is you always want to dash before charging an attack

[pine vortex]

yeah

[twin thistle]

And the special sucks unless youre using chiron

[pine vortex]

if you get a couple good special boons, specifically the art ones, then it can shred

but you have to spec into it with the homing special

[brisk trail]

Maybe the real dusa romance route were the friends we made along the way

I bet you there’s a dating sim mod for the game somewhere

[lavish sorrel]

And rama, for casual slow-strats

[pine vortex]

whats the highest heat that each weapon has beat i wonder

[violet sail]

Everyone came from Titans

[pine vortex]

I know 64 with shield was done, but what about the others?

[violet sail]

But yes, including me

And my disappointment.

[plush kelp]

Everything came from Chaos
Big deal

[violet sail]

You might want to speak to Nyx about that

[mint coral]

Bow/spear also have 64

[brisk trail]

Meg stop whipping Sisyphus

[pine vortex]

oh nice

bow gang rise up

[plush kelp]

It's her coping mechanism, let her be

[brisk trail]

Pretty unHealthy coping mechanism

[violet sail]

[pine vortex]

hey, its hell.

[plush kelp]

Never said it was healthy

[brisk trail]

Lol

[plush kelp]

Coping mechanisms can be unhealthy, in fact

[brisk trail]

Maybe She could whip me instead

[violet sail]

No.

You might want to speak with one of my sisters.

[brisk trail]

Alecto for sure

I like her energy

It’s a treat to see Meg smile too

[violet sail]

hmpf

[brisk trail]

Tsundere

[lavish sorrel]

and in one

[brisk trail]

Hypnos is underrated

He annoyed me at first

But I like him now

[lavish sorrel]

I think he's perfectly rated where he is, he is designed to be trying to be helpful but comes across as annoying, but actually really funny

I get that

[brisk trail]

Any of you ever get jumpscared in Hades?

Hypnos is cute

I shall make him my boywife

[lavish sorrel]

Mfw I'm doing hitless runs and I watch a projectile fly at zagreus at freaking light-speed

😔

[brisk trail]

We need a mod that lets Zagreus sleep

He deserves his rest

[lavish sorrel]

||the two in-game flashbacks already do that||

[brisk trail]

Oh

Anyway

I will free Sisyphus! Some day

[lavish sorrel]

One Must Imagine Zagreus Happy

[plush kelp]

Imagine freeing Than's capturer

[old bluff]

Me playing Beo

[plush kelp]

The necessary evil one must go through

[brisk trail]

I only play hades with controller/steam deck

[fervent radish]

Being at <150 health and stepping in a HS pot is a jumpscare

[lavish sorrel]

Suddenly:

CERBERUS!

[fervent radish]

real

[brisk trail]

I wonder how well it would go if I looked for voice actors for custom fan made hades scenes

You know for the meme

I just need stupid stuff for them to say

[plush kelp]

Hermes: I got my eye on you, Coz. Don't forget, I'm always watching

[lavish sorrel]

[brisk trail]

Was he watching Zagreus in the bedroom with Thanatos and Megaera?

💀

[plush kelp]

He definitely knows what's going on

But I wouldn't go that far

[brisk trail]

I love Hermes

[plush kelp]

Hermes is best character

[brisk trail]

Just buy the game yesterday kinda

The offer was too good to lose

[stiff obsidian]

Good choice

[eager magnet]

tnx

Been playing for a while and is really fun

Cant belive this is a rougelike

[copper igloo]

My thanatos has dipped twice after an encounter immediately. He also has a lock on his next heart. Am I missing something?

Also Achilles bf has been absent from like 3+ runs in a row

[sly bobcat]

How do i send image

I mean how to get image perms

Ok

[stiff obsidian]

Send the media link of the image

After sharing somewhere else

[cyan pike]

The flame wheels release is so funny to me

[indigo inlet]

Nah the lock is normal

And if he dips immediately it just means he got more kills than you

The lock on the heart is there with every character at some point btw

[indigo inlet]

That’s also normal

He’ll show up in a bit

[mint coral]

why is the give nectar to a friend still there

[umbral anchor]

Because friends > family in priority

[mint coral]

also while going through the credits, didn't know nyx and arty shared VA

[pliant pecan]

Hades, Poseidon, Achilles, Charon, Asterius and the narrator ||Homer|| are all voiced by the same guy

Also I think Orpheus and Zagreus have the same VA

[plush kelp]

Orpheus singing VA is the same as Zag's and Skelly's, yes

but only the singing

done by the great Darren Korb

[oak olive]

Damn they def use voice change

[plush kelp]

VAs often can sound different

not all, but some do manage to speak in various voices to the point you would never guess the characters share VAs

[tepid light]

Wait, that's who the narrator is?

A quick search informs me ||yep, that's exactly who he is based on a scene in Hades 2, goddamn||

[plush kelp]

||not to mention literally every other time Mel refers to him as Homer||

[tepid light]

||I haven't watched any of the Hades 2 gameplay to avoid any sort of spoiler, but I guess that's my first spoiler||

[plush kelp]

it's not that big of a deal

could've been something much bigger

[tepid light]

Sure but it's still something I would've liked to be surprised by on my own

[steep condor]

it was implied in hades 1 but tbh i also freaked when i heard melinoe ||actually calling him that||

[copper igloo]

What if I got more kills and he still did that?

[brisk trail]

I love Zig Zagreus responding to the narrator

[plush kelp]

Max hearts already?

[copper igloo]

No he's got a lock atm

[plush kelp]

That's dialogue with him

Mostly at the house, I believe

[copper igloo]

Maybe I'm missing some dialouge. Wouldn't be a problem if he stuck around

[copper igloo]

He hasn't been at the house for a while

Only time he came back was when redacted came back

Not big redacted but small redacted

[plush kelp]

Usually after encountering him in a run he'll appear at the house

There's a big chance of it happening

[brisk trail]

https://tenor.com/view/hades-game-hades-gif-24067499

What# do you guys think cerberus# eats #from the #satry sack?

[copper igloo]

Hasn't happened for me unfortunately:/

[copper igloo]

Freaks

[plush kelp]

Vermins

I think they even make a slight mention to it

[cosmic violet]

I always assumed it was satyr remains, but I guess that was me misunderstanding satyr sack.

[brisk trail]

Does the Zag man get married and have kids in Greek mythology?

[plush kelp]

No

He barely even exists in Greek mythology

[brisk trail]

Melinoe too I assume

[plush kelp]

His most famous myth is the one where he is killed by the Titans and reborn as Dionysus

[plush kelp]

Melinoe is more known

Has more mythology to her

Actual domains and stuff

Zag doesn't

[brisk trail]

I can’t believe Hades was already going to be about someone else, I think it was going to be about Midas or Thesus I can’t remember

[plush kelp]

Theseus

[brisk trail]

Thesis

[plush kelp]

My bull bro

[brisk trail]

Asterius is so cool

He would be the perfect gym bro

[plush kelp]

I like how they focused more on his human side and not his beast side

Even tho every other rendition of a minotaur pretty much focus on the beast side

It's funny really

His myth involves being an uncontrolled beast, full of hunger and stuff.
But there's also the part where his sister Phaedra was inside the labyrinth and even Ariadne was said to often interact with him

[brisk trail]

I liked learning about Greek mythology in school

I had to cosplay as Atlus

Who originally thought you would have to fight Cerberus?

[plush kelp]

Pretty sure everyone did

[graceful wadi]

absolutely devastated when i saw cerberus in that room, and immediately relieved when i didn't have to fight him

but MAN EM4 threw me off guard ||when cerberus ran across the screen||

[brisk trail]

I wish I could play Hades in first person

[stiff obsidian]

i want to play hades in 2nd person

[brisk trail]

I wish you could do that

[cold isle]

I was taming Asterius in a run I did

I had rare aphrodites aid pommed up to lvl 10 🗿

[cold isle]

It was long enough for Asterius to start attacking Theesus

[plush kelp]

nooooo, the bull bros.....

[sly bobcat]

why is there no vc in hades?

[cosmic violet]

Is jumping from 16 heat to 32 heat (because you just platinumed the game and only have the statue left) a stupid idea?

[mint coral]

Pain to moderate

[sly bobcat]

ah

i see

[mint coral]

Not really?

[sly bobcat]

you are mod yes?

[mint coral]

I've seen worse jumps

[mint coral]

Nah, but I've seen various mods mention it before

Great thanks.

dionysus is op with bow'

[brisk trail]

Okay. Her skills are a bit annoying to use..

I am playing Chaos Shield only for now (reverted to pre-update nerf).

Ares was too handsome so I kept picking up Doom until I felt how op Hangover is.

[mint coral]

Eh, I wouldn't call it op

Is consistent at least

[brisk trail]

It feels op to me because I am new.

I bought the game yesterday lol.

[mint coral]

Lmao fair

[jagged hamlet]

Off to #h1-for-new-players with ye! Unless you don't mind spoilers

[brisk trail]

I bought the game because I saw Chaos on youtube and immediately was like "YES DADMOM-MOMDAD I EMBRACE THE CHAOS".

And then I played to give Ares all the nectar.

And then just played.

[mint coral]

Chaos design is great

can't say the same for the aspect

[brisk trail]

I use a mod to revert it to the pre-nerf state.

It's really not useful to me without that.

[mint coral]

Now you have it shoot in like star shape?

[old bluff]

Chaos kinda got nerfed into the dirt

it's sad really

[brisk trail]

Yes, and all shields bounce.

I was like "there is god mode already, why can't I have fun when there is literally godmode haha"?

So I got the shield, not the god mode.

[mint coral]

That does sound a lot more fun at least lol

[brisk trail]

YES

And I get to hear dadmom-momdad 24/7.

That's amazing.

EXTINCTION

ANNIHILATION

[hot bloom]

Does anyone else have that one enemy thats just the bane of their existence? Cause chariots and the tiny bomb chariots are the worsttt for me idk why

[sly bobcat]

so whats so good about the aspect of rama?

[brisk trail]

raman

https://tenor.com/view/naruto-ramen-eat-gif-17993554

[mint coral]

Flamewheels you can keep dashing back and forth through a wall/obstacle to make them blow up

Big chariots are a menace tho

[brisk trail]

Also I still can't get over Chaos looking like James Charles.

"HI SISTERS! RESPOND."

"I FELT A SHIFT, SISTERS!"

[mint coral]

Tag every enemy in the room then just power shot one to clear the room

[sly bobcat]

bro your actually right 😭

[mint coral]

Weong reply damn it

[fervent radish]

Massive damage and crowd control

[mint coral]

It was for this

[sly bobcat]

i can spam the

[mint coral]

Special only rama is unarguably-

[fervent radish]

Wait nah but this is true as well

[brisk trail]

Also crit + hangover + nausea is just so easy omg.

You can have an entire room die in one shot

[sly bobcat]

also how do i get aspect of lucifer?

[brisk trail]

Hangover generates heat??

Omg.

Is there a use to Chill in regards to damage btw?

Or just CC?

[jagged hamlet]

There's Arctic Blast, which causes a little explosion at 10 stacks of Chill, but eh

[stiff obsidian]

theres that boon that does dot if all are chilled

which is always in bosses

[mint coral]

Killing freeze my beloved

[stiff obsidian]

ah thats what its called

[brisk trail]

Oh okay! I will look out for it.

Hangover + Killing freeze can probably feel good with the +40% on duo statuses dmg.

I am going to give ambrosia to Ares because he is 🔥 . But are there any benefits to this?

[mint coral]

Cool sticker in the keepsake when checking the cabinet

And also progress towards the epilogue

[brisk trail]

Oh! There is that okay thanks.

I thought it could increase his spawn chance.

[plush kelp]

Keepsake message also changes to reflect the bond

[brisk trail]

Okay, Curse of Longing seems to be very strong.

[narrow kraken]

I stg hades is the ONLY game in years to make me actually stop and listen to a specific song…. It’s such a moving song like omg

[plush kelp]

Let me guess, Lament of Orpheus?

Or Good Riddance?

[cosmic violet]

Oh my goddd 32 was sweaty. Barely managed the last stage, but I finally have all the statues and they’re so beautiful it brings a tear to my eye 🥲

[narrow kraken]

Good riddance

It genuinely moves me so much I love it, even got both versions of it in my Spotify playlist

But I genuinely stop and listen in game lol

[brisk trail]

I love the idea of duo boons so much.

I should use something like that in my project.

[eager magnet]

Note for myself: The bow with Artemis boons... Is broken

[brisk trail]

Does giving up reset dialogues?

I am trying to get Ares to trigger his 10K kills quest.

[mint coral]

Giving up keeps the same seed

Need to die to sdvsnce dialogues

[brisk trail]

Okay thanks, I will use the kill button mod then.

[hot bloom]

Guys! I found thanatos and he said hi to me 🥰🥰

Hehehe

[mint coral]

just realized I haven't got either of the flashbacks yet lmao

and nyx please give me the green side already

[brisk trail]

I see. So I need to exhaust Ares' dialogue until he gives me the 10K kills prophecy.

does arty's dash strike boon count for Sisyphus' keeps sake?
