You can’t do it based on heat because you’re forced to go for dps to compete with tight deadline

[latent moon]

i mean slap on arthur for 50 free hp, get aphro atk, get every centaur heart, and there's your tank build

but also like

[rustic vale]

It would inherently be hard to balance anything tank like

[latent moon]

since the game doesnt get updates, the meta is pretty still so certain strats are also gonna be better than others

[rustic vale]

it just isn’t trying to accomplish the same thing as the rest of the game is

[latent moon]

but that doesnt make the other strats like not viable

[rustic vale]

Like

“Improve dps” is generalisjng

an entire skillset of the game

Proper building

because certain options will improve your dps more than others

Or some may temporsrily be a boost but fall off hard later

It’s a logic and practice thing

[sleek cliff]

hi shackle

[rustic vale]

Oh my I know that guy

I recognise that pfp and that name

[sleek cliff]

im back cuz hades 2 came out

ngl idek why i joined because i dont want spoilers

[latent moon]

lmfao

[rustic vale]

Yeah I’m avoiding Hades 2 cuz I need to be productive rn

I’ll buy it later

When I’m less busy

[sleek cliff]

i already sank like 5 hours intk it today

lmao

[latent moon]

i saw the gameplay trailer it was neat but that's all the hades 2 content i've got

[rustic vale]

plus I just got back into terraria

[latent moon]

lmao it do be like that

[rustic vale]

And I don’t want to just kill this new fascination

[sleek cliff]

i should probably not be playing it but whatever

[rustic vale]

Hades Ii can come after I beat my expertmode terraria world

[sleek cliff]

thatll take awhile

i was playing a lot of pokerogue before

but i kinda just dropped everything for hades 2

[latent moon]

it do be like that

[rustic vale]

I’m sitting right before WoF with all other bosses killed

[latent moon]

if only i could drop my projects

[rustic vale]

I just need to make the arena

[sleek cliff]

are u like good at the game

[rustic vale]

I spent the other day making lakes and a hellavator

[sleek cliff]

i still havent beaten expert ml solo

[rustic vale]

Good question

[sleek cliff]

i spent like

[rustic vale]

I haven’t played in like 5 years

[sleek cliff]

a month on it

[rustic vale]

But I’ve been doing fine in

[sleek cliff]

and gave up

[rustic vale]

expertmode for the most part

[sleek cliff]

have u been buffing

[rustic vale]

It’s taken a bit of work

[rustic vale]

I’ve had to be buffing

Crafting my own potions what not

[sleek cliff]

yeah ok ur prolly screwed for ml then

tbh

[rustic vale]

?

[sleek cliff]

maybe i just suck at the game tho

[rustic vale]

Homie I’m in prehardmode

[sleek cliff]

i was gaming pretty hard in phm and early hm

i didnt struggle with anything that much

and then i just hit a brick wall with moonlord

[rustic vale]

A) this is my first time back to the game in 5 year
B) I never beat Terraria in it’s current state solo on regular mode

[sleek cliff]

so

and like it wasnt even close

[rustic vale]

I dove straigjt in to expertmode

[gloomy trail]

My kinda guy

[sleek cliff]

W

[rustic vale]

Idk what to tell you aside from “nah I’d win”

I don’t expect to win on my first attempts

[sleek cliff]

i hacked in rod and still got farmed LOL

[rustic vale]

Or my later attempts

Since it’ll be my first moonlord fight flat out

I don’t plan on giving up though

Thay’s the difference between me and him

I always respawn

[sleek cliff]

im not going back to beat it

probably ever

actually def ever cuz i lost the save

[rustic vale]

I’m running a ranged build rn never done that before

[sleek cliff]

thats what i did

lol

[rustic vale]

I was looking on the wiki and didn’t realise how little accessories there are for it

Compared to melee

[stiff obsidian]

Doremammu I've come to bargain

[sleek cliff]

i mean

theres still a solid bit

cuz stuff like celestial shell and terraspark boots are just overall good

[rustic vale]

It’s all hardmode. And a bunch of it’s just the same thing but with one accessory added

[rustic vale]

Yeah the general items

I mean like melee has a ton of melee specific accessories

A ton

[sleek cliff]

flaming quiver, sniper scope,

[rustic vale]

Ballin out with my minishark and phoenix blaster and necro armour omw to WoF

[sleek cliff]

i cant think of anything else actually

i feel like theres smth else

[rustic vale]

I need to set up an arena

[rustic vale]

Ranger emblem and you’re done

[sleek cliff]

i ran hellbat bow

i think

[rustic vale]

Like check the wiki and it’s emblem, quiver, quivers two upgrade paths, scope, scopes upgrade paths

[sleek cliff]

and just magma armor it has good stats

[rustic vale]

See

[sleek cliff]

lmao

yeah melee is def favorite child

[rustic vale]

Necro armour has bonus ranged damage and crit chance so

I kinda like it

[sleek cliff]

but ur also made of paper

[rustic vale]

I’ll check how much more armour it gives me

[sleek cliff]

like no defense

[rustic vale]

Ol but I have like +20 from accessories

[sleek cliff]

i think its smth like 20 difference

[rustic vale]

Thank you extra money from expertmode

for goblin tinkerer

[sleek cliff]

screw tinkerer

[rustic vale]

+2 from shield of cthulu as well

[sleek cliff]

shield of cthulhu my goat

[rustic vale]

So like

I think I’m looking at +22 from acces

This is Hades related trust

[sleek cliff]

whats a hades

[void vigil]

this looks like a #video-games conversation, but i cant tell anym-

i trust

[rustic vale]

[sleek cliff]

bouldeez nuts

gotem

[rustic vale]

terraria has guns Hades has guns basically the same game

[stiff obsidian]

Guys today i willl do Hades spear 50 what

[rustic vale]

terraria also has sword spears fists and shields and bows

[stiff obsidian]

Trust me

[rustic vale]

oh my

same game

[sleek cliff]

why is eris so bad 🥵

[stiff obsidian]

Wgat

[latent moon]

eris sucks

[rustic vale]

is this some Hades 2 joke I’m too Hades 1 to understand

[latent moon]

can confirm

yes

[sleek cliff]

ngl ive been loving everything abt hades 2 except for the gameplay funnily enough

[stiff obsidian]

Quiet

[sleek cliff]

too used to hades 1 gameplay

despite not havign played in like 6 months

[stiff obsidian]

Hades 2 isn't real

[sleek cliff]

ur not real

shut up

[stiff obsidian]

Oh ok

[rustic vale]

Is Hades 2 not a dashathon

[void vigil]

but what IS real is #h2-discussion

[rustic vale]

I’m gonna cry

[sleek cliff]

i hate slownode

[rustic vale]

if it ain’t

[sleek cliff]

not that i know of

we need gilga

[rustic vale]

How do you take the Dash out of Hades for Hades 2?!?

Anyways

back to Hades

[sleek cliff]

uhh

[sleek cliff]

eris 64 when

[rustic vale]

Wouldn’t it be wild if they added a goblin tinkerer to Hades

[stiff obsidian]

Eris sucks

[sleek cliff]

😭

[rustic vale]

so I could get +4 defense on my eris

or smthijg

[sleek cliff]

just highroll into splitting instead of dprot

tbh

[stiff obsidian]

I'd still lose

Also splitting sucks

[rustic vale]

This is what Zag sword was made for ✋😔

[sleek cliff]

splitting doesnt suck what

splitting is god

[stiff obsidian]

It's something

It's like support fire

[sleek cliff]

zagsword 58

splitting is like the second best zeus boon ☠️

[rustic vale]

Zagsword Mastermode moonlord win at 64 heat ✋

[sleek cliff]

Support Fire isn't so great? Are you kidding me? When was the last time you saw a boon with such an ability and damage with artemis? Support Fire puts the game in another level, and we will be blessed if we ever see a boon with its power and enhancement of the game again. Merciful End breaks records. Mirage Shot breaks records. Suppot Fire breaks the rules. You can keep your statistics. I prefer the magic.

i forgot all about the copypastas tbh

[rustic vale]

Was that copypasta made during early access or after it

[sleek cliff]

probably after

[rustic vale]

ah

afaik it was actually solid back when it was the legendary and did 40 damage

[stiff obsidian]

but i like support fire

[sleek cliff]

the way its written i feel like its when it was ass

cuz thats how the i prefer the magic copypasta goes

[rustic vale]

Yeah

Fair enoigh

[crude jacinth]

I won’t pay more that 15€ for that sht after they let us wait for way longer than necessary

[stone rune]

ok 👍

[stiff obsidian]

serrated is bad enough without the dash penalty

completely unnecessary

this is how it usually is

[tepid light]

btw false i meant to ask

why'd you end up coming back

[stiff obsidian]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/502817768513470474/1237277486652592208/image.png?ex=663b0ff4&is=6639be74&hm=276efd6f275c49dc6402d1177919f4bcc5471703f7770cf59034ceb6b8609378&

[latent moon]

damn that's a nice circle

[stiff obsidian]

Hades 2 made me want to play again but i realized I still don't want to play

But I do a run once a week or so

[tepid light]

I see, fair enough

But why is your name still white

[stiff obsidian]

Why not

https://tenor.com/view/cart-gif-1082011193125011432

[stiff obsidian]

I'm trying serrated with hangover

[latent moon]

cursed

fair enough

carry on

[stiff obsidian]

I'm green now

[tepid light]

The world is whole again

[autumn rose]

[hybrid crow]

I just got to the final boss and died when he was halfway dead (first death of him)

I even had a healing build to counter how much health I was losing

I got it like 3 days ago it feels like I get a single good playthrough then multiple mediocre ones

[tepid light]

That's just how it be

[hybrid crow]

its why i play alot in the day

question though

how much nectar do you need to give someone before you give ambrosia

[terse zinc]

hi sorry the hades 2 chats are being flooded but is there a locked role or something i can't upload images or copy paste them :(

[terse zinc]

around 5 i think!

you can track it with achilles' handbook

[hybrid crow]

oh im close with charon then... im scared

i give him some out of curtosy i rlly hope i dont romance him

[terse zinc]

no need to fear... charon is eternal

spoiler: ||charon is not romanceable||

[hybrid crow]

phew

[terse zinc]

not all ambrosia is romanceable!!!

[hybrid crow]

tbh i give nectar to the people who deserve it

[terse zinc]

its kinda like.. if you max them you get a little trinket that'll help you in the long run.

[hybrid crow]

like meg has to keep dying to us she deserves to get some

[terse zinc]

felt

[hybrid crow]

not to mention the sisters

[terse zinc]

i completed the game and contineu to play it but i refuse to give nectar to sisphus he can stay in the underworld thanks

[hybrid crow]

oh wait

does giving him some let him be mortal again?

[terse zinc]

someone help me out with this am cryin LOL

[terse zinc]

no everyone in the underworld dead, none of them come back to 'life'

[hybrid crow]

i didnt know that tbf i give the people who help me through the run nectar

i tried with hades once

[terse zinc]

its more of like, ermm most of them have contracts(?) with hades himself, so when you unlock their bonds / progress with their nectar thing you get a story quest

spoiler: ||example is if you max achilles & patroclus you free achilless from his contract to stay in the house so he can go visit patroclus||

[hybrid crow]

i gave ares and athena nectar mainly for the luck chance increase for the op merge

[terse zinc]

yep thats usually how it goes

different characters react differently to the nectar / ambrosia route. so the gods in general just give you buffs and trinkets

[hybrid crow]

i use the lil snake head girl's charm when im later in the levels to get more health

[terse zinc]

the 'side' characters are story routes and or romance routes

[latent moon]

you have to use image embeds or imgur

[terse zinc]

bless you thank you

[hybrid crow]

tbh i try meta'ing the trinkets

[latent moon]

feather duster only drops 1 thing of food per room btw lmao

hard coded

[hybrid crow]

getting the most bang out of my buck for the stuff

still every bit helps

[latent moon]

if you want a defensive keepsake, acorn is good against bosses

or use tooth

[hybrid crow]

who's acorn?

[latent moon]

which is less effective hp but can help in normal rooms

[latent moon]

eurydice

[hybrid crow]

uhh i never gave her nectar yet...

next time around ill do my best to

if i am lucky enough

[terse zinc]

i think dont rush it

hades is generally repetitive, but its very rewarding type of system. if youre in it for the story then take your time, if youre in it for the speedrun then alot of luck is involved

[stiff obsidian]

i died to lernie even with tooth i am so so bad

[latent moon]

it do be like that

[stiff obsidian]

i should not belike that

I'm happy to have a game to play when I wanna play Greek mythology

[chrome crown]

Does anyone here happen to be a member of the speedrunning discord?

[plush kelp]

this discord is n the pinned comments of #self-promotion

[chrome crown]

Thank you, I was having trouble finding it

[kindred cargo]

for aspect of lucifer can i put 5 titan blood into aspect of zag for it?

[rustic vale]

Yeah

If it’s the specific deal on nectar

Then yes

[ornate oak]

Can someone remind me the statement Supergiant made when talking about why some gods were depicted using different races? A fellow of mine is surprised, and I don't want to quote without remembering it right.

[kindred cargo]

in hadwes 2?

[ornate oak]

In Hades 1. I doubt the reasoning changed, and less people were vocal about that particular topic.

Def 2 Cwonos

[stiff obsidian]

what

[brisk trail]

Yes

[runic jungle]

Playing this game with joycons have made things difficult for me and I find that so funny ngl.

[brisk trail]

Can you play Hades in VR?

[plush kelp]

No

[halcyon cliff]

is it a waste to give hades nectar? Do I secretly unlock something if I give him enough?

[plush kelp]

He'll give you the Sigil of the Dead, eventually

[opaque dew]

hey guys

just bought hades from the sale

[brisk trail]

Zagreus needs to hug him and spend time fishing with him

[opaque dew]

any beginner tips

[brisk trail]

Always look for gold pots

They will give you bonus coins

Just destroy them

Also experiment with weapons

[barren bridge]

its been week of me trying heat 40 hope today im getting it 🙏🏻

[barren bridge]

lovely

[barren bridge]

have fun and learn about good builds

and play with weapons you have most fun not cause the weapons thats op

[oak olive]

Guys epic boon or duo boon mirror what u guys prefer

[barren bridge]

huh what do you mean theres no prefrence here everything here have it place and use

[stiff obsidian]

pride >>

[oak olive]

Epic boon right? Its more general

[barren bridge]

hmmm

[stiff obsidian]

yes

[barren bridge]

depends on the build

but i thinkg epic is mostly taken

[old bluff]

Pride is almost always better

[sleek cliff]

pride > legascam

[barren bridge]

yeah but i do use the other one when using build that needs dou

[sleek cliff]

usually rarity matters more than getting an early duo

even if ur rolling for duo

u still want rarity to do damage

[old bluff]

Still, legacy is only worth if you are going for several duo’s not just one

[sleek cliff]

what kind of build are you highrolling multiple

[barren bridge]

yeah your right

[sleek cliff]

maybe like eris with sea storm + splitting + whatever else

[old bluff]

Not worth due to clockets

[sleek cliff]

u cant always get clockets?

[barren bridge]

eris blades i need like 2 dous for that

[sleek cliff]

u can roll for splitting u cant roll for clockets

[old bluff]

But if we’re talking high rolls

[sleek cliff]

u can reroll for duos

once u get ur 2nd hammer ur locked

bar anvil savescum

i think beo uses legacy sometimes cuz early mirage saves so much time

[sleek cliff]

purple jolted is probably worth more than the extra legend tho

[old bluff]

No beo is a pride weapon for non multi runs

[sleek cliff]

i swear ive been told to use legacy

[old bluff]

You can, but legacy is a scam so few people use it

[sleek cliff]

tart mirage saves so much time

or even early aspho

[old bluff]

But that’s a high roll, so why not go for a slightly higher high roll while also getting epic cast once a year

[stiff obsidian]

the real high roll is playing with ri1

[sleek cliff]

because i consistently get ely mirages

and lernie is so slow without mirage

[stiff obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-opps-forced-him-gif-27352721

[old bluff]

Counterpoint, epic chaos shot and epic RD

[sleek cliff]

true

[stiff obsidian]

the opps forced him to wake up

[twilit copper]

Hello guys
I really love the new game and the autofire option

Just wish you can bind the Infinite skill to another button

Oh damn wrong channel lol

Sorry

[stiff obsidian]

nice

[barren bridge]

https://i.imgur.com/81sxEIm.jpeg defensive or posiden kep thats Elysium

i know the answer

which is defensive

but kinda intresting if i can servive with posiden

[stiff obsidian]

Why Poseidon

[sleek cliff]

u dont need pos why take pos

[marsh jackal]

If you want boons I would just keep going down artemis ares to get the cast duo would be an easy run

I wouldn’t suggest defensive boons till you’re on last map

[stiff obsidian]

They already have the duo

[barren bridge]

i already did get the duo bro

[stiff obsidian]

It's in the screenshot

[barren bridge]

extra dou

[sleek cliff]

you can keep on acorn for both

[stiff obsidian]

Not worth it

[sleek cliff]

it doesnt go away

[vague rivet]

Wait! Hades will let me go in the tenth attempt?

[barren bridge]

idk i already went with it it was worth it

[sleek cliff]

what duo

isnt the pos/ares one like ass

[stiff obsidian]

Man

I thought u play the game

[vague rivet]

Should I actually beat Hades 1 before playing 2?

[barren bridge]

mirage

shot

[barren bridge]

cant even get that bro i dont have posi cast

[sleek cliff]

oh

i forgor abt mirage

[stiff obsidian]

Brain isn't braining

[sleek cliff]

dude i havent played in like half a year

i dont remember any of this stuff

[barren bridge]

https://i.imgur.com/dXmN7LN.jpeg run so far

LETS GO

[stiff obsidian]

Should be a win

[barren bridge]

yes sir it was a win

[stone sun]

that goes in #h1-victory-boasting

[balmy granite]

SIgma

[barren bridge]

yeah ikik deleted it

[stone sun]

aight

[stiff obsidian]

i just post here

half the time

[barren bridge]

yeah me too bro

[low kernel]

I think they said it wasn’t necessary but there is some connection between the two

[opaque dew]

Oh god this game's hard

[latent moon]

it do be like that

[barren bridge]

😭

[tepid light]

i believe in u tho

[opaque dew]

I love how the palace of Hades is designed tho

Just sat there and watched him deny the spirits until he granted one

[robust oasis]

After the early access ends will the hades 2 price go down? (Ive already bought the game im asking for my freinds)

If anyone replies, ping me

[stone rune]

for one thing

how is anyone going to know this

for another thing

why would it go down on full release

finally

#h2-discussion

[robust oasis]

It has happend to games in the past I don't remember which games but it has.

[stiff obsidian]

why are there so many supergiant online

[stone rune]

team building exercise

[vague geyser]

guys the umbral flames are so op

just got a run with no boons at all and beat hecate first time

just use Y

it just works

(specials)

[stone rune]

#h2-discussion

[vague geyser]

ooops sorry wrong channel

[lone carbon]

after how many succeeded run should i start to put some heat ?

[sleek cliff]

as many as u feel comfortable

[lone carbon]

atm i beat ||hades ||2 times

[sleek cliff]

i started adding heat after first clear

[lone carbon]

ok thx

[sleek cliff]

lmfao

[calm cave]

Misread

[lone carbon]

dw

[calm cave]

I’m a moron

[runic jungle]

Okay I feel like I was too harsh on poseidon boons before
His call is really the only mid thing he got.
Knock away + tidal dash be coming in clutch.
Or, does he get bad on high heat and that's why ppl don't like him?

[warm topaz]

How to give feedback?

[latent moon]

#h2-feedback i assume

if you mean for hades 1 well game's been done for years lmao

[latent moon]

his atk just sucks

special does a good amnt of damage but there's just better options

[runic jungle]

His attack really depends on the weapon imo
Bow + flurry shot+ knock back attack = cheese time

[stone rune]

people dont not like poseidon

unless ur on like reddit

[latent moon]

i mean knockback is fine but that doesnt do a lot of damage unless they hit a wall and you have the wall slam boons

[stiff obsidian]

[latent moon]

so useless against bosses and most of asphodel

[spark furnace]

How can I get Poseidon's hearts unlocked? I've beaten Theseus with EM3 active, and I've fished a total of 99 fish so far. Is there something I'm missing?

[fierce aspen]

Do we know if thr soundtrack will be on spodify

[stiff obsidian]

hades 2 feedback role looks nice

nice

[latent moon]

idk dialogue rng i guess lmao

happens a lot

[spark furnace]

It's been more than 10 runs since

it's getting pretty frustrating

[latent moon]

you might need to talk to him with a fish? that might be something else idk but dialogue rng moment

[sleek cliff]

supersoaker:

[sleek cliff]

thats a diff quest

but clearing out one might speed it up

[austere burrow]

Is it fair to assume Hades is "just" a mini diablo 4'ish? Minus the loot - but the gameplay/combat loop though.

[jagged hamlet]

No. It may be isometric like Diablo, but it's a different genre with a far different pacing and rhythm and speed of combat

And different progession

[stone rune]

isnt diablo the one where you sit there for 200 hours attacking a boss

and grinding

[cyan coral]

no that's the one you grind for hours and hours and 1 shot a boss

still fun tho

[brisk trail]

Orpheus should play stairway to heaven

[cloud mist]

whats yalls fav weapon?

[latent moon]

shield and bow

[fervent radish]

Wrong game

[mighty estuary]

facedesk my bad xD

[fervent radish]

Shield and rail

[balmy granite]

poseidon sword

[cloud mist]

rail is pretty fun actually yeah

[stone rune]

live beowulf reaction

[cloud mist]

im going to try pose sward next

manually reloading is so mid

[crystal island]

I haven't played much, but I enjoy Chiron's Bow

[vapid tapir]

lies hestia is one of my favourite aspects i love it so much

[cloud mist]

oh wait exit wounds synergise really nice with that

[balmy granite]

yeah why do you think I like it so much lol

your special deals like 2000 damage

with artemis or aphrodite cast on top of that

it shreds

[vapid tapir]

hmmm should i try to get a 32 heat run on every weapon next time i play . is that an achievement worth anything

i dont have the money for hades 2 rn so im ignoring everything about it 🥲

[latent moon]

32 heat all weps is fun

[meager shuttle]

I just bought the iam8bit red vinyl set of this game's OST. $105 down the drain, but its 100% worth it.
(i am so giddy right now its not even funny)

anyway hello everyone :D

[crystal island]

Damn you type fast

[vapid tapir]

im too bad at sword i dont even know which aspect is the most usable for that

[meager shuttle]

me?

or someone else

[crystal island]

Yeah

[vapid tapir]

i assume poseidon is the best one ?

[meager shuttle]

oh. thx lol

[cloud mist]

also when do we get to meen uh thanatos

meet

[meager shuttle]

i think last i checked a few months ago i type 72 wpm (words per minute) or something like that

[vapid tapir]

but then is it really a sword build

[crystal island]

I type around 50 wpm on my computer
Mobile is significantly slower though ":)

[fervent radish]

nemesis is the best

[meager shuttle]

yeyy

[fervent radish]

pos tied with arthur for worst sword

[vapid tapir]

i may have forgotten what nemesis does
is it the uhhh just crit chance ?

[fervent radish]

yeah, but 30% crit is huge

[meager shuttle]

spamming Y until my finger breaks, fr

[fervent radish]

or however much it is

[latent moon]

ues nem

[vapid tapir]

im too poor to upgrade aspects lol

[latent moon]

crit good

[fervent radish]

nemesis lvl 1 is still better than poseidon

[vapid tapir]

but sure ill try it

[crystal island]

The only weapons I have touched are the bow and the sword, even though I've unlocked the rest

[meager shuttle]

I can't use the spear to save my life 😭 like any aspect, i just suffer. the one that mimics [REDACTED]'s old one is pretty decent tho and my favorite to use.

[vapid tapir]

idk how to play with the spear either i always just use achilles and do a cast run 👍

[balmy granite]

I type at 140 WPM

[meager shuttle]

real

lol

[balmy granite]

Im serious

[vapid tapir]

oh right i installed the speedrunner modpack which means i can force the hammer that disables spins and just makes you attack constantly

[crystal island]

Chiron is my go-to solely because the consecutive hit buff for the special + either zeus or demeter boon makes the enemy shrivel (i also dumped all of my titan blood into it ":) )

[meager shuttle]

in that case good job

[meager shuttle]

Chiron enjoyers are chads

[balmy granite]

Id send proof but cant send it here

[vapid tapir]

i mean do you actually type 140 in conversations or in like a typing test

either way its impressive

[balmy granite]

monkeytype

[cloud mist]

i dont like charging up shots smh

[balmy granite]

I feel like conversation typing goes faster because you actually know what you want to type

[meager shuttle]

yeah

[crystal island]

Also since charging a bow sucks I do the flurry hammer because getting your attack interrupted while trying to tag someone is not fun

[vapid tapir]

idk its the opposite for me because i overthink every message lol

[balmy granite]

dont overthink, out yourself like an idiot

for real

wish I could send videos here

[vapid tapir]

flurry hammer is really good on hera but idk about chiron

[vapid tapir]

you can send it in a private discord server and then copy a link

links embed here

yeah just tried

[meager shuttle]

GOD DAMN

good job

[crystal island]

It makes marking a target easier
Just x -> dodge -> y

[balmy granite]

I have 149 on 60 seconds

[vapid tapir]

damnnnn

[queen summit]

So mote it be

[vapid tapir]

someone really wants you on steam you should answer them

[crystal island]

JEEZ
THAT'S FASTER THAN MY FRIEND

gg

[cloud mist]

doe s zagreous actually understand wtf charon says

[rustic vale]

It’s a fine cope hammer if you don’t see relentless or conc

since it does decrease your time to mark

and flurry is just a solid bow hammer

[crystal island]

No
But I do (schizo)

[rustic vale]

Zag understands Charon fs

[vapid tapir]

oh i just opened monkeytype and got a 124wpm pb for 15 seconds

not as impressive but still 😌

[balmy granite]

also got this

[balmy granite]

lmao I was mid convo with them

[balmy granite]

this is over a year old tho

[rustic vale]

My wpm is in the garbage

[rustic vale]

so is accuracy (especially when typing on mobile)

I don’t want to talk about how long it took me to type mobile

[meager shuttle]

lol

[vapid tapir]

anyways this is hades discussion

bow am i right

[rustic vale]

yes

[vapid tapir]

ohhh right the special hammers

is it even worth taking them outside of chiron and maybe relentless for rama

[rustic vale]

No

[vapid tapir]

aw

[meager shuttle]

if you take anything but a hammer you're throwing (unless its like Eyuridice or a story room)

[vapid tapir]

i really like how the bow special looks i wish it was good

[rustic vale]

Chiron essentially puts concentrated volley first, then relentless, then prioritise hammers like hera if you don’t see the above

[vapid tapir]

m

[rustic vale]

Not necessarily

[lean ice]

what item do I take from the stranger?? do these even do anything?

[rustic vale]

They all tell you what they do

[lean ice]

"premium goods"

[rustic vale]

If you hover over them

[lean ice]

ooh I see

took the health one heh

[rustic vale]

if you are using stubborn defiance touch of styx dark is pretty much the go to

otherwise it just depends on what you need

[lean ice]

kinda needed health I have 33/165 hp

[crystal island]

relentless seems real good but I'm not able to find it every run unlike concentrated volley
Speaking of ghost boons I can never seem to find Glacial Glare when I need it for my demeter cast build

[rustic vale]

relentless has the same odds as conc

They are also only good on chiron*

Just to

ensure nobody jumps straight into this convo sees that and

Takes it at face value

[fervent radish]

also demeter cast is rarely a good option

[crystal island]

I like the funny lasers

[rustic vale]

Same way when I want to do a flurry pwave zag sword with heroic swift strike I can never get it all to line up

Like is it that much to ask for a purple swift strike before eurydice

I can guarantee the heroic from there

[fervent radish]

funny lasers that don't really do much

[rustic vale]

yeah

they’re both ineffectual but like

[vapid tapir]

afaik ares cast and arty duo boon (hunting blades) are just better than lasers in most ways

[rustic vale]

rng issues are rng issues

[fervent radish]

hunting blades are better usually

[crystal island]

I can never get enough boons when I do go for demeter (mind you it's only like 6 boons I need to make it work)
But when I do anything BUT The Funny Lasers™️ I get shoved boons like no tomorrow

[fervent radish]

dem cast needs rng to function unfortunately

[rustic vale]

Do you have uhhh

[fervent radish]

"only 6 boons"

yup

[rustic vale]

Blanking

Blanking

[crystal island]

I was gonna try ares cast in a bit

[crystal island]

qhar

[fervent radish]

achilles?

[vapid tapir]

btw check the mirror guide thats pinned in #h1-for-new-players

if you arent using uhhh how its called

gold laurel

dark uh foresight

[rustic vale]

That’s what I’m thinking of

Dark foresight

I was about to look for the Shackle™️ mirror guide

[crystal island]

I don't think I have that unlocked yet

[fervent radish]

too much shackle rots the brain

[vapid tapir]

ah

[rustic vale]

You’ll want it unlocked

[vapid tapir]

have you beaten a run btw ?

[crystal island]

I still need 30 keys and they're a pain to find

[rustic vale]

More like a second Hades Hiatus

[crystal island]

I've beaten the game 4 times in 30 attempts

[vapid tapir]

ah

[rustic vale]

That’s a pretty rad track record ngl

[crystal island]

this would be my 32nd rn

[vapid tapir]

yea it is

ive gotten my first win in about 27 runs and then didnt get another one for a bit 🥲

[lean ice]

bruuuh I do NOT wanna go to the colloseum

any strats??

[crystal island]

guh

[rustic vale]

the what

elysium?

Theseus and Asterius?

[crystal island]

hug pillars like americans hug cheeseburgers

[lean ice]

idk 3rd biome

[rustic vale]

Yeah Elysium

[lean ice]

hmm I guess

[lean ice]

I suck with biome names D:

[rustic vale]

I didn’t untik I was talking about Hades a ton

[crystal island]

and staying close to theseus is not a bad idea since his attacks are fairly well telegraphed

[rustic vale]

i think they mean the whole biome

[crystal island]

guh

[lean ice]

alr so stick to pillars and theseus

got it

[rustic vale]

Focus fire one down until you’re good enough tot ake them both down at tthe same time

[vapid tapir]

i think if you stay close to theseus he just does the spin attack until you go away right

[crystal island]

Would recommend taking out the bull first though

if you can't kill them both at the same time

[lean ice]

fuuuck 20 hp

[crystal island]

me personally
i treat it like the twins from terraria
there's a mid threat
And a clear and obvious threat
The mid threat is the bull and the obvious one is theseus
For me, if I target theseus too much and kill them first I start mad tweaking with the bull

[lean ice]

BRUHHHHHHHH I literally saw block in the same frame I got death defied

????????????

DEATH DEFIED TWICE

GG

now PLEASE tell me this is the last biome

[crystal island]

who's gonna tell him

[lean ice]

D:

[cloud mist]

cluster bomb is so op

[lean ice]

NOT CERBERUS WTF

[crystal island]

i don't think he knows

[lean ice]

shiiit more adventure

thought I'd have to fight the puppy

💀

[crystal island]

aren't you glad you don't?

[lean ice]

I am...

[cloud mist]

thansk hermes for the skill ooldown now i can rain fire

[lean ice]

damn these rooms kinda small

[rustic vale]

Je ne sais quoi

Are you referring to somethting in Hades as

a skill cooldown?

[cloud mist]

yeah, 30%

[rustic vale]

Or is this about Hades II and I’m just uninformed

[rustic vale]

For what though

There are multiple things Hermes boosts the speed of

[cloud mist]

the weapon skill

the q

[lean ice]

wait I gotta find it in one of the rooms? WTF

NOOO

[cloud mist]

i really wish i got more hammers poer run

[rustic vale]

Not a keyboard gammer

Is that

Strike or special

Wait someone told me last night I got this

That’s strike

attack speed is certainly one of hermes boons

[lean ice]

fuuuck I'm on 8hp 💀

guess I'll die

OMG 96 HP

I did NOT DIE

I WON FINALLY

hold tf up...

[silent pulsar]

Bro was unaware

[lean ice]

true

[brisk trail]

she/her(mes)

[lean ice]

yo this thing aint so hard tbh

[silent pulsar]

Spoilers for romance storylines: ||I never got the scene where Than, Meg and Zag officially become polyamorous… I completed the epilogue well over 30 runs ago. I completed Than’s romance first. I haven’t found anything online about this and wanted to see if anybody knew anything ||

[silent pulsar]

This is an issue I am having

[lean ice]

BRO WHY

SECOND HEALTHBAR????????

[silent pulsar]

Oh you didn’t know?

[sleek cliff]

im halfway convinced it doesnt exist

[silent pulsar]

So you’re having that issue too

[lean ice]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[sleek cliff]

i had like 100 runs past both and never got it

[lean ice]

I DIED

[silent pulsar]

wtf

[sleek cliff]

now wait till 3rd

[lean ice]

[sleek cliff]

[silent pulsar]

I just want my ||happy fictional poly partnership…||

[lean ice]

I'm never gonna go back to this bossfight tbh

I suck

[sleek cliff]

practice makes perfect

[silent pulsar]

Okay I have some builds for you to try then

[lean ice]

ight

[sleek cliff]

dps is a big thing as is timing

[red coral]

Nahhhh you’ll get him one day Ghost Michu :)

[lean ice]

I play shield btw

[silent pulsar]

So the first step is to not do that

[lean ice]

thx lol

[sleek cliff]

whats ur mirror

do u have aspects

[lean ice]

tried bow but cant rly counter anything

[lean ice]

shi idk

[sleek cliff]

shield is great lmao what

[silent pulsar]

Dash through attacks

[silent pulsar]

I’m joking, I just don’t like it

[lean ice]

yeah

stand still and wait for a laser to go out

simple

[sleek cliff]

dashing thru slashes is a pretty lenient timing

[silent pulsar]

Dashing through anything is easy when you have 2

[sleek cliff]

and u can kinda just block everything

my pb is beating the game in 5 runs

[lean ice]

yo where tf did Hades go

[silent pulsar]

He’s gotta walk back down lmao

[lean ice]

XD

[sleek cliff]

i got stubborn roots x cshot and just camped in the corner

[lean ice]

cerberus is there tho

[sleek cliff]

yeah cuz u got past him

[lean ice]

oh well yeah

[sleek cliff]

send ur mirror

[lean ice]

cant send here

[sleek cliff]

ur prolly screwing urself over with some of them

[lean ice]

maybe idk

[sleek cliff]

send the names

no images is dumb af tho

[lean ice]

so I maxed:
shadow presence
chthonic vitality
greater reflex
boiling blood
infernal soul
and have some points in
death defiance
thick skin

[silent pulsar]

Okay so you want the Aspect of Chiron for the bow
-start with Poseidon’s keepsake, take his special
-get anything (preferably attack) from Zeus
-get both of their boons that provide status effects (Razor Shoals for Poseidon, the one that inflicts Jolted for Zeus)
-keep getting their boons until one gives you the duo boon
-take anything that buffs their boons (like getting a chance of calling 2 lightning strikes)
-get pressure points and support fire from Artemis if you can

-profit

[sleek cliff]

thats good nvm

[lean ice]

oh is it? hahah

[silent pulsar]

This is a nearly guaranteed win if you get the build going

[sleek cliff]

what keepsake are u using styx

[sleek cliff]

eww supersoaker chiron LOL

[silent pulsar]

Have you tried it?? I literally just beat Extreme Measures Hades with it

On 16 heat

[lean ice]

I jump everywhere with bow tho

is it good to dash a lot?

[silent pulsar]

Turn on aim assist

[silent pulsar]

Yes

Very

[lean ice]

-_-

[silent pulsar]

Lmao

[lean ice]

goofy ahh

[sleek cliff]

ive done regular chiron 32

[lean ice]

I aint a b I guess?

[silent pulsar]

Guh

[silent pulsar]

No you want it

[sleek cliff]

supersoaker chiron is so fake

[cloud mist]

what is ambrosia used for anyway

[silent pulsar]

Believe me

[sleek cliff]

supersoaker rama is realer

[cloud mist]

is it jsut used for trades?

[silent pulsar]

Yes

[lean ice]

can I send links here?

[sleek cliff]

maxing relationships

[silent pulsar]

No

Wait

[sleek cliff]

eyah

hmm

i wonder what 32s im missing

[silent pulsar]

Trading, relationships, work orders

[cloud mist]

how many nectar does it take to reach that level for a person?

[sleek cliff]

depends

[silent pulsar]

Differs per person

[sleek cliff]

its like the lock

[cloud mist]

damn

[sleek cliff]

on the codex

iirc

[silent pulsar]

Gods is 4 or 5 I think

[sleek cliff]

i havent played in half a year so im def wrong on a lot of this

[cloud mist]

also who gives the best item?

[sleek cliff]

que para

[silent pulsar]

Keepsake?

[cloud mist]

yeah

[sleek cliff]

there isnt a best one

[silent pulsar]

There isn’t an objectively best keepsake

[cloud mist]

best offensive one

[silent pulsar]

I recommend maxing Skelly’s tho

[sleek cliff]

offensive ones are garbage

[silent pulsar]

Not how that works

[lean ice]

https://medal.tv/games/hades/clips/2bPqDURZ9aaG1N/d1337OQWrCw0?invite=cr-MSwwUXcsNzc2NzEzMzAs

[sleek cliff]

u usually run god keepsake tart -> potential second god keepsake aspho/ tooth on em2 -> acorn ely/styx

[lean ice]

acoustic aim fr

[sleek cliff]

@lean ice if ur not comfy with bow u prolly shouldnt use it

[lean ice]

I am

[silent pulsar]

Ohhh you’re on mouse

Nvm

[lean ice]

too much tbh

[sleek cliff]

every single aspect can easily clear the game

[lean ice]

I know it'd be hard on bow

[sleek cliff]

kbm bow sucks

[silent pulsar]

Didn’t realize you were a masochist lol nvm

[lean ice]

cool u noticed tho

[sleek cliff]

kbm is comfy outside of bow

[lean ice]

WDYMM 💀

[sleek cliff]

hesty is awkward and bow sucks but everything else is good

[silent pulsar]

The deciding factor for me is being able to move in 8 directions OR more than 8 directions

And more than eight wins for me

[sleek cliff]

@lean ice do u have aspect of zeus

[lean ice]

on shield yeah

[sleek cliff]

yeah

start zeus o

[silent pulsar]

Super soaker Zoos build……….

[sleek cliff]

and take special

[sleek cliff]

😭😭😭 that was my first clear

[silent pulsar]

HELL YEAH

[sleek cliff]

zeus^2 is pretty good

then aim for like jolted

get a good % attack

[lean ice]

BROO

[silent pulsar]

Dio on special on Zoos is really fun too

[silent pulsar]

And Aphrodite attack, Arti cast, Ares revenge, Athena dash

[sleek cliff]

aphro or rare+ dem/athena

[silent pulsar]

Just stack duo boons and it goes insane

[sleek cliff]

ddash is good

[sleek cliff]

u cant highroll duos esp without legacy and dark foresight

[silent pulsar]

Ah yeah forgot about no rerolls

[sleek cliff]

literally just like good % attack + zeus special + jolted + ddash is a win on its own with poms and hearts and such stacked

[silent pulsar]

Aye

[sleek cliff]

preserve your dds and run acorn > tooth > like collar ig in styx

[silent pulsar]

Was about to suggest otherwise when I remembered who is in this conversation lol

[sleek cliff]

being cursed with the knowledge of good builds 😭

[sleek cliff]

wdym

[silent pulsar]

I run ||MomPom|| whenever I don’t need a specific boon

[sleek cliff]

pom is garbage rofl

[silent pulsar]

NAH

not at all

Free pom every three encounters

[sleek cliff]

on a random thing

unless ur taking exclusively nonpommables you will def have some fodder

[silent pulsar]

Just don’t take bad boons then

[sleek cliff]

and you end up with like level 5 u2k

[silent pulsar]

Still tho that’s a level 5

Better than lugging dead weight for a keepsake

[sleek cliff]

yeah its 16% additive damage ☠️

acorn tooth spearpoint collar are all great for survivability

some better than others

[silent pulsar]

Bah

Don’t need em

Want my funny flower

[jagged hamlet]

The POM is fun for gambling!

[sleek cliff]

the only time ive used mompom was level 45 ddash

[silent pulsar]

This guy gets it

[sleek cliff]

*level 50 ddash

damn

i gotta rerun that too

i wonder if routing fauth is a thing yet

i can def get like 55+ with it

[silent pulsar]

Also idk if this is a hot take or not but ||the hades keepsake|| is my favorite thing for the hades fight unless I’m not confident in my run or if I don’t have enough DD, so I take skelly

[sleek cliff]

sigil is fine

[silent pulsar]

Phew

[sleek cliff]

good for like beo

or hera or wtv

survivability often matters more tho

[silent pulsar]

Anything tbh, it’s free damage periods

[jagged hamlet]

Big ol' burst

[sleek cliff]

anything is free damage

[vapid tapir]

i like sigil it makes me feel strong even if its not if that makes sense

[silent pulsar]

Yep I get that

[sleek cliff]

sigil x hyperdelivery beo goes crazy

[silent pulsar]

I’ve yet to do a hyper delivery run

Might have to try that

[vapid tapir]

wdym hyper delivery run

[sleek cliff]

wtf is a hyperdelivery run

its just something u highroll into

if u dont get it u dont get it

[vapid tapir]

i always try to get it no matter what aspect im playing lol

[sleek cliff]

too expensive

[vapid tapir]

one roll is fine enough

[sleek cliff]

are u really willing to burn up to 6 rolls just for not even guaranteed

[silent pulsar]

Nah like buffing movement speed and stuff, doing the speed run strats

[vapid tapir]

i dont have the mirror maxed out i barely have any rolls

[sleek cliff]

so highroll lol

[vapid tapir]

i have to reset the mirror if i want to switch from pride to legacy lol

[sleek cliff]

u can sub10 easily without hyperdelivery

[sleek cliff]

dont

pride is good legascam is garbo

[vapid tapir]

what if me

or like

idk any other funny build

[sleek cliff]

me wants epic doom

only place youd take legascam is beo

[vapid tapir]

just kill yourself until you get blue doom in chamber 1 clearly

[sleek cliff]

and even then pride is still good

epic shots from chaos go crazy

[vapid tapir]

yea i take pride for beo

[sleek cliff]

and epic grasps

[sleek cliff]

u also want rarity on whatever the thing that drops doom slower is called

[vapid tapir]

hmm true

[sleek cliff]

and even rarity on special is pretty good

i wonder if i did talos 32

ik im missing arthur and zagbow

[vapid tapir]

arthur,,,,

i played it once and didnt like it

[arctic shard]

I've maxed out Dusa's romance but I don't have the little cute head near her keepsafe, is it normal?

[sleek cliff]

uh

reload?

[arctic shard]

And I'm trying to finish Aphrodite favor but it doesn't occur I think because of that

[obsidian drum]

Game: Here are tons of weapons that you can use.

Me with the Stygian blade: (Gerald the seal.jpg)

[rustic vale]

any funny build enjoys the added boost to epic odds on their main boons and on hermes/chaos (the real star players of bonus epic odds) over +% leg/duo

Oh that was half an hour ago

What

Discord keeps showing me far back messages the second I open it instead of recent ones

[vapid tapir]

its fine discord sometimes scrolls me like a month upwards for no reason

[rustic vale]

I also have a propaganda album of screenshots of me getting 3-5 duos/legendaries with pride

[thin dirge]

This game is so good

[sick dome]

yes

[fresh rock]

Is there a speedrun category for the mobile hades?

[stone rune]

there is a tag applied to mobile runs

you can filter by ios

[static shoal]

is there a way to straight up unequip your keepsake?

[latent moon]

i dont think so

closest you can get is taking feather duster and not picking up the food lmao

or butterfly and get hit in every room

or plume and never finish on time lmao

[regal cliff]

is 18mins a good completion time?

[stone rune]

there is better and worse

[sleek cliff]

u can run egg

ig

or spearpoint

[static shoal]

hey spearpoint isn't that bad 😭

[void vigil]

distant memory has not been mentioned once where am i

[latent moon]

oh i forgot that existed

so useless it escaped the mind

that's how you know it's the true winner

[stone rune]

feather duster

[static shoal]

to be fair exactly half of the keepsakes are irrelevant

and yes that includes broken spearpoint
:(

[sleek cliff]

what happened to distant memory best keepsake

@aeoui

[static shoal]

when did i ever say that

[sleek cliff]

no

the thing where ppl were naming themsevles that

[jagged hamlet]

Begone, foul shade! Off to #h2-discussion with ye!

[shell swan]

oh damn my bad, wrong channel

https://tenor.com/view/out-disappear-bye-vanished-gif-4932063

[fervent radish]

spearpoint is nice for dad fight

[static shoal]

yeah but acorn directly outclasses it (and pretty much everything else)

[fervent radish]

there's some edge cases where spearpoint is nice

like if you have built in sustain, it's good to not get bursted down while you regain health

EM4 butterfly balls also are better with spearpoint which is an issue for some aspects

[wanton marsh]

Hoi, is there tools out there to extract the sprites of the game? Wanna try modding the game with custom textures :P

[devout terrace]

@eternal berry My dispute with tunecore through the youtube system just got denied by them.
I just opened another dispute escalating it

Absolutely ridiculous

[abstract linden]

is there a mod so i can skip asphodel?

[shadow heart]

me and all my homies hate asphodel

[calm cave]

God I wish

[shadow heart]

the lava sucks

[abstract linden]

Yea: difficult movement due to lava damage, witches circle, the look of lava i hate everything abt asphodel

[shadow heart]

witches cicle is ok if ur based (use athena)

[stiff obsidian]

It's usually the easiest biome
