thank you so much ^^
||Tisiphone murders Zagreus||
Ur in thw wro g channel for that
I think Hades 2 is meant to be able to be picked up
Without plauing Hades first
Haven’t played it couldn’t say
(I’m waiting since I still have things I need to get done elsewhere before hand)
It really isnt
The story makes no sense without playing 1
not sure if this is where to post this but does anyone know how exactly to get the incantation "Consecration of ashes" I'm like 20ish hours into game beginning to think its just bugged bugged and I've been rocking the 10 cap hands. 😕
Hug
I mean tbh I've gotten them confused too
Cuz they look so similar and have same names
Besides a 2
haha my bad thx
Still it’s like quite the length on the screen
One day when we gain the knowledge to pipe education directly into our brains we gamers shall! be! literate!
dang
Literate is a mighty fine task
I know quite a few gaming communities that could use it

Its still an easy mistake when your not playing the most attention lol
Or someone may just not have the channels active
I've definitely posted in the incorrect channels before. Maybe not on this server, but certainly elsewhere. Even tiny baby servers I'm perfect
I mean yeah I’ve
Had my fair share of mishaps sending stuff into #h1-for-new-players
WhebI thought it was builds

Cuz I wasn’t paying attention
Whebl case in point
Oh true
That’s what I’ve been saying
SGG UI/UX peeps, get on it!
How do you get all the way down here looking for Hades II
The Hades II stuff comes way before this
Yeah it’s just
Not even that big of a deal
a ton of people
Kinda bewildering tbh
Systemic issue or a bunch of people who need sleep?
Yes
💀
Oh wait oh wait. So excited for Hades 2 that brain is deprived of oxygen
All the blood has gone els-
Well look at you with all your brain oxygen harumphhh
Im replying hades 1 on my PlayStation rn cuz I miss playing on my PlayStation
I want to go grind out 150k darkness to hit unseen one but at the same time
Im gonna get 50 clears with each weapon before I go back to Hades 2 probably (i just want to fill time while I wait for PS5 release of 2
I really don’t
Me: Uses Charm to distract Asterius.
Also me: Expecting to Asterius to hug and kiss Zagreus.
Cannot help it, I laughed hard at the idea.
Using a duelsense on pc and L2 and R2 keep triggering even when not pressed. Anyone else have this issue?
i ship them
I haven't found someone to ship Zagreus with ||except with me lol||
Right you are
Artemis is pretty cool ngl
ik you spoilered it but still #h2-discussion
dynisys is the goat for not bieng (toO) mad
dusa
it's the greek mythos
besides zag can technically be in a relationship with 2 siblings and all 3 of them go to bed at the same time
than and meg are technically siblings
- zag hits it on with a gorgon head
Also Nyx is Zag's adopted mother.
so?
So Than is techincally his brother
Yeah, if you summon Than against charon, he says "back off brother"
persepohny is canonically hades cousin (hades is her uncle)
Yeah, greek myths have weird family trees.
than why cant i ship artimis?
what spear aspect do you guys recommend
people are touchy
?
achilles or hades
im sorry i dont get that i am severly stupid
many don't react well when incest is mentioned
just leave it be
Hades personally
alr i'm giving it a go
Remember to use spin attack much more often
Specially in the final fight, whenever hades goes invisible start charging.
Haven't checked anything about 2 yet so please don't give any spoilers here.
Same
I’ve yet to try some of the spin spear hammers but even the one that speeds up your spin feels slow to charge
yes
i gtg fast
no time too be a target
Its defo underpower
I personally like the spin to charge it while the enemies are spawning, so they get massive burst of damage and the punishing debuff right as they spawn.
yes but
Its like 2 stab
Dps wise the serrated edge deadulus upgrade is the best honestly.
Hmm yeah that reminds me I have to try out the hades aspect after hitting 10 clears
Going beyblade mode sounds fun
I usually keep Ares on attack so it is pretty good in my case.
Takes out the witches, skulls, flame wheels etc
zues aspect shield
Yeah I’m attempting a full clear with that rn
Hii
So far I have found it easiest to clear with Achilles spear and Demeter fists though
Bow is okay
Rail is unusable if you have skill issue
One of the last pre-run Hades scenes I saw was about him teaching Zagreus how to swear
not much else to say, I love that it exists
more parents should teach their children swears if you ask me lol
BLOOD AND DARKNESS
its mostly the shock value of having a gun
Say, when I delete a file and confirm (ok) but then I go back and the save file is still there undeleted? Is this a bug?
Flurry is best dps on spear yeah
i almost beat hades with a dodge build with like 40% dodge but i couldnt get any higher
i lost unfortunately
I think dodge from each source is calculated separately.
So like if you have dodge from a boon and an item
The game will first roll for the boon dodge, and if it doesn't apply then roll for the item dodge
im surprised i nearly beat hades with a dodge build and with every other build ive tried ive never gotten that close
might do aspect of gilgamesh run when i get it
Probably means you aren’t watching out for your own health enough normally
and just spam Zeus boons and pray
…that’s certainly an idea
I usually go in with 300 hp from centaur hearts but based on my weapon of choice idk what boons to use
If you want to try that try using shield instead.
the shield is so annoying on mobile its the bane of my existence
I see.
I don’t mean pumping your max hp higher
I mean how carefully you actually play
well then idk how i do cuz i can last a while i just end up dying anyways lol
tip #1 is reduce their hp to 0 while keeping your own above 0
Take divine dash and double dash and just spam the dash button. He will be dead in 14 million or so years.
I’d sure hope you have greater reflex on at all times 
funny enough athena actually hates me i usually dont get divine dash unless i reroll (i only have 1 dice atm)
i do lol never take it off
It’s more reasonable a time span then that
At least if you pom your divine dash with 30 pomd

Yeah only 13.9 million.
i would need sweet nectar for that
what do yall think is the best aspect of Achilles build? Ive tried ME but i never got divine dash during all 4 runs so i just gave up
Not ME
hunting blades or lightning phalanx
ive also tried hunting blades (i also lost i think im just bad at the game lol)
Route it
Or just keep throwing yourself at attempts
It’s less damage than a level 10 epic tidal dash 
which companion do you have in the gilgamesh run?
Battie
Battie for every run typicslly
Companion choice is pretty universal because your choice of aspect doesn’t change it’s ability
huh? Who do you give nectar and ambrosia to to get it?
Megaera
ahhhh 👍
Guys how do I send feedback
i forgot how to unlock the last aspects i just randomly got guan yu that i havent unlocked yet
guan-yu is different from every other one
The last ascpects will always be unlocked by random dialog.
Chaos for shield, achillis for spear, Nyx for sword, Asterius for fists, zeus for gun
Every other weapon you’ll need 5 titans blood total in aspects of that weapon, talk to a specific npc with that weapon to have them mention it, then after that you can get the waking phrase by talking to them with any weapon
Idk about bow
Artemis 
Nice, need to talk to best girl to unlock it soon.
Exactly
Only aspect I have left.
would aspect of achilles have a better special prioritized build or atk prioritized build
Achilles special is better for moment that damage.
Yeah, not saying it isn't
flurry jab and cast damage boosts
I need like the quickest build possible cuz i only get an hour a day on my phone to play games lol
But you normally want to special once and then attack normally
Arthur aspect Gang
Dash strike*
Not standing strikes
Flurry jab speeds that up too
Yeah, serrated edge is the one which does three times dash strike right?
and it’s also a +150% cast bonus so typically you focus on both attsck and cast
Flurry jab > serrated point
It’s the better version
automatically standing strike on each dash strike but you don’t have reduced dash range
You get 2 hammers a run typically. I try to take serrated point + flurry jab if possible.
Greatest reflex usually counters that, no?
you’re essentially shooting yourself in the foot
because you have reduced dash range, an extended amount of time staying in one place for the spear to do all the hits, and lose your dash iframes
it’s pretty taxxing all thrown together and greatest reflex can’t fix that one
should i try to do a sweet nectar run with aspect of achilles?
Would not recommend it sinc ethat just seems like
Random boons thrown together
for your core boons
hmmm how about like an ice wine build? Cast based
can it be created using either dionysus cast or demeter cast or can it only be unlocked using one of their casts?
Yeah ive never actually used demeter ever lol
what other boons (duo legendary and any kind rlly) should i use
Onlg dio cast
It’s… fine
ish
wouldn’t recommend it
ever
If you get strong drink in tartarus, take it. I wouldn't recommend searching for it though
Swap your mirror to stygian soul from infernal
And
Look for extra casts from chaos
If you get the boon that makes her cast aim faster it’s crazy for bosses
If you get crystal clarity it’s usable against bosses
Multiple placed down and increasing damage gives a lot of damage
It’s never enough to outperform other casts on equal footinf (or often less than equal footing)
and it’s single target
Great for bossing
still doesn’t outperform other casts in single target damage even
even when compared against other aoe casts
Thoughts about Aphrodite cast btw? Personally feels the worst to me, except if using Beowulf shield.
Lmao, I forget about the existense of Bow sometimes.
And yeah, the range is the main problem
Hera solves all the problems since you can make use of the great base damage and area
What demeter boon would i need to activate ice wine?
Either attack or flourish I think.
i should start with dionysus keepsake right?
Yes
Are fish and mushrooms just for trading for bones?
can i have ||icarus|| stay in crossroad??
No dusa in hades 2, is it even worth playing then? :<
brutal
but there is frog at least
"Put on the maid dress Dusa"
Super giant games should make a 10 hour Dusa ASMR video just saying
You can not compare a frog with the dusa how dare you
I'm about to slam my credit card onto the table, someone do this xd
i mean
they are both green
Dusa cleans your house ASMR 10 hours
Dusa violently using the vacum cleaner [10 hours ASMR]
You know what, yo face is green
dusa gets STUCK in the vacuum cleaner (10 hour asmr)
idk i used it on achilles 40
its a lot less interactive so u can focus on dodging
if u get the highroll its pretty good
obv u have to get both glacial glare and crystal clarity
just did my 25th run
it was my first time fighting the final boss
got him to half hp but died
does impending doom work with merciful end?
yes
im trying to tell but i have so many damage numbers on my screen i literally cannot tell if it went up or not 💀
its basically just free dmg

Out of sheer curiousity, is there any way to reroll conversations with the Gods during runs?
I dont think you can
Ripperonis
Why would you want that anyway tho
I have to use 2% of my will power to not post a gif of anime hestia
lol
She is also a goddess isnt she
Goddess from wish
best bow build?
Is Artemis the best for bows?
Better off with aphro, arty attack is more of a win more when you have more external damage increases
I would say so, what is crazy is that it is at an all time high
It’s a little to broad of a question, would you mind clarifying what you would like answered
I was just thinking because she is a bow hunter maybe her boons would be best for a bow
hey these
Her crits do feel nice though, not only on the bow but on all weapons. Not spectacular but very fun one shooting enemies
I use seeking arrow on the twin fist alot
A winner is you!
damn I love the lore
Ghost Michu please turn of yo hacks
Have you checked under your skin?
Everyone got a skelly deep inside of us
real
oh noo
Bet I will get some good boons for my skelly collection
is there a way to open the doors in the back?
I need help with the Hypnos mission, for unlock his heart
What I need to do for unlock it?
Back of the House o' Hades? Just keep on playin'
ah
how about the locked golden heart shaped locks in keepsakes?
Those are more specific, but a lot of them just involve talking to people. Sometimes under specific circumstances or after some condition has been met
Keep on talking to him and brother Thanatos
I didn't know the conditions either but unlocked most of them just playing organically and fishing and such. Completing quests too
Hypnos is the last I need haha 
they should make people sending their first message in this set of channels confirm that they are actually talking about hades 1
WHat is the best Keepsake?
theres not really a singular best keepsake
like first off you can change keepsakes between biomes for a reason
generally people will do god keepsake -> god keepsake -> something else -> something else
in ely common choices are
hourglass for castspects or if you have rd or some other situation that might benefit
acorn if like you're at heat or if you cant think of anything else
or are on rama
god keepsake if you still want to force something for your build
i feel like the most common god to force into ely is most likely zeus
for the call
ngl i dont think there are like any other real keepsakes into ely
dad call maybe
or shackle
but most of the time you'd only take shackle into ely if you alreayd had it into aspho
and then for styx its basically always gonna be either dad call or acorn
or shackle again if you still dont have something in the slot
very occasionally people might force a god into styx
but yea
if i had to pick a single "best keepsake" i guess itd be hourglass
but if i could only pick one keepsake to use for the rest of my life itd be conch
other options for the first 2 biomes are like
shackle start on a few aspects
plume start as a meme
and if you get the gods you want and dont feel the need to force into aspho you have a few other options
you can hourglass if something good is in the well or u dont know what else to do
you can purse if you are broke and want money
you can plume if you're on pride without first hermes and want to help your rd chances slightly
ix if you're a baller
jazz oh my goodness isn't it a school day?
no i dont have like classes left
Oh okay 👍
i had 2 days of class on monday and tuesday
but now we have nothing till next week when exams start
well if you're on the east coast and have an early class i think you have an exam today
but im west coast best coast
West coast pal!
piercing volley or concentrated volley for a hangover aspect of chiron build
i fought the final boss for the second time
i thought i killed him, didn't know he had a second phase 
Good job for getting this far tho 
i bought the game yesterday so i think its good progress
Do you have a favorite boon you enjoy? 
the gods ?
Yuh
i think my favorites are the poison and the war gods
i really like the hunt one too
cuz of the criticals
Interesting taste, the poison grenades are lots of fun and super broken if you combine them right.
Yeeee when a crit hits it feels incredible xD
and i use fists
as my weapon
i love close combat
btw hades has 2 phases right ?
i can't handle a third phase
Yeah poison with fast combat is a good decision. Though thunder is also good with it. I wont tell you though how many phases he has, you gotta figure that on your own xD

Its all gonna be alright when you see him charging up for his third pha- .... 
btw i killed the first boss with every weapon to get fists to level 5
so i got 15% dodge chance
was that a good decision
Play however you want to play the game, who cares what is good and what not, play what is fun
There are more than enough resources in the game to upgrade all of the aspects to max
You must needs beat the game first then
You have to beat the final boss
i'm trying to do that
got him to second phase so far
Hurry! Hurry! The party balloons are losing helium
Chronos isn't like Uber Lilith hard but it's definitely hard
At least it feels like I'm learning how to dodge each move each time I go at it.
Hades 2 chat in my Hades 1 channel! I'm going to steal your potato chips!
jesus christ how does this keep happening
whoops
delete pls
It's not really a spoiler. They tell you right at the beginning lol
Yeah and I'm moving
i don't even have hades 2
Wait wait pack up your Hades 2 message and take it with you too
Guys
i'll buy hades 2 after i'm an expert on hades 1
I unlocked the lucifer aspect
And tbh is kinda boring
Do you know which secret aspect is better?
You should still delete since it’s a spoiler
It really actually isn't. The whole entire theme of the game is about killing Time. And they tell you right off the bat. We've gone over this a million times over there.
you're putting in more effort justifying it than just simply deleting it
🥱
I understand your point. Still, any talk about hades 2 doesn’t go here
It's coming off like an ego thing
This is harassment
Geeze the hades discussion crowd needs to chill out. Complete 180 from hades II discussion crowd.
I mean you put a blatant spoiler in the wrong chat
Almost like this is for hades 1 🤯
and now you are gaslighting
Which isn't exactly welcome here lmao
???
This reads like the type of driver who gets really salty at other drivers' mistakes but is "just kinda tired" whenever they make a mistake of their own 
Beowulf or Rama
or you are just being rude. Simple as that
People might not want to know about the difficulty of the fight or even that it is a fight in itself. Respect the wishes of people who want to go in completely blind.
I got harassed and attacked the moment I said anything and have been pleasant about it the whole time
I already said I'm leaving. Now leave me alone
😃
Sword and shield are also good
Probably bow, actually
Close range?
Triple shot bow at close range is nuts
True
i did not defeated the final boss yet so i don't think base shield is that good
Base shield is pretty good
Yeah
Yeah. Chain dash-strike into Bull Rush
Take charged shot and Aphrodite
Yeah the base spec isn’t great
Special isn't worthwhile except on Zeus
i'm not planning on changing fists but if i ever get bored i'll give a chance to shield
I spend most of my shield gameplay going back and forth between chaos aspect and the hidden aspect
can i unlock those hidden aspects without beating the final boss ?
yeah you just have to MAKE it to him
You don't need to beat him. Need merely fight nooooo too slow
do i have to do a certain thing to unlock the hidden aspects
yeah
like can i unlock them by just playing
Technically yes
and not knowing what to do
You SHOULD be able to get most of them just by doing various things with all of the weapons
That’s how I did it yeah
Just talk to as many people as you can and keep upgrading stuff
alr
Like one of them is literally make it to a specific place while just having a specific weapon equipped
Man someone explain to me why I went into a quick psyche run with the skull without having any expectations and somehow I'm at the final boss with a super broken setup. I don't know how I woke up here
the only rule is you have to get guan yu first
elaborate
I just blacked out and suddenly there were 5 aphro boons, so much psyche gathered and I have a tattoo I don't remember getting
what aspect
oh
but i won't spoil it to myself
Is kinda freakin nice with it.
Are you in the right chat, @plucky sail
I didn't think much of it but OH BOY
I think so?
oh
OH
Sorry
Hades 1 chat, my bad
See this is what I mean I blacked out and just appeared
thank you I'll go elsewhere
people are pretty divisive about it
I like this one. Very cool about the mistake
Hidden fists you either absolutely adore and defend them, or hate em passionately
Objectively they're not terribly strong, but they can still be fun
damn since hades 2 came out like 99% of the time i check this channel i see hades 2 discussion
im so normal about it
Yeah just keep playing the fists and it should trigger naturally as you do certain stuff
Honestly i cant even remember what the other hidden aspects’ requirements are, the fists are the only one that i remember
Can always check the pins of #h1-story-discussion if you need to look them up too
How long did it take after full release for Hades to be put on PlayStation?
Im just curious
I was under the impression that it was a Playstation game from the jump and got ported to pc/switch afterwards ngl
It being better on controller does give that impression lol
But ik it came last i just dont remember how long
Cuz I wana play Hades 2 on my PlayStation more then my Steam deck
I like being able to back record
No fr it's actually wild how much better it is on controller lmao
It came out on pc and switch in september 2020
And other consoles in august 2021
I believe that would be tech support
Also, do you mean Hades or Hades 2?
and iphone via netflix gaming earlier this year
Do you happen to be using Hera or Beowulf
If you pick up your casts then it'll fix the problem
So in other words, unless they are prioritizing a simultaneous release on all systems this time around, it might be safe to assume a similar release pattern, with nintendo’s system (whatever it is at the time) and PC getting it first
Nintendo tends to be a bit more open arms with indy releases and getting them at the same time as PC
Bruh
I KNEW IT
especially with them putting a ton of them into smash bros as a spirit as bit of a bonus
The amount of hades 2 people going here is getting absurd
Please delete the spoiler btw
im not gonna lie
i didnt even realize that many extra tabs were added for hades 2
So its not just them lol
Were the tabs already your screen, K1d? Just curious
I’m on mobile, i just havent scrolled up to see that the extra sections were added
Until like two seconds ago
I haven’t been in here since early access officially started
it has right?
I wanted to know for Hades 1 so I could have a rough estimate of how long it would take for 2 :)
Oh but you didn't have to take any special actions to populate the list with the Hades 2 channels, right?
No i didnt
Thanks
well i think it was in early access for like two years
but that was also when they were building a whole fresh game
My comment was directed at someone posting vague requests for Hades 2 help in here. Sorry for the confusion
its possible that Early access could be shorter than two years because they already had an engine and some stuff to be able to port over
Ye
And a whole lot of experience with roguelikes!
In the meantime I shall suffer with my stupid commitment
But maybe thats just me being optimistic because im a console player and wish we got some sort of early access demo of sorts
50-100 clears with each weapon or I will stop when Hades 2 fully comes out 
youre crazy
Anyone able to tell me what these blue arrows on a portal indicate (blue arrows going up on a boss portal in my case)
If hades 2 isn't out by the end of that I will be surprised
I'll likely be doing that until I get confirmation about zagreus in hades 2 lol.
I love him sm he's one of my favorite protags ever
Hades or Hades 2?
Hades 2, sorry
Only problem w that is that shield
Shield is so garbo I swear.
It mainly feels like the hammers are terrible
I have EA on my steam deck I m just not liking the incomplete story and core gameplay im used to
shield puts me to sleep unless im on chaos
mb, clicked wrong channel
Im gonna suck with the bow
I hate it
in whcih case my eyes only close a few times per run
No problem, Gyasa
i love hands but they feel too easy a lot of the time
shield if it’s bugowolf for sure
https://www.gameleap.com/articles/hades-tier-list-best-weapons-ranked
This is the one im using
Bow is hit or miss with me lmao.
Flurry shot is the only way I can be good with bow
And if I don't have that one
Then the explosive shot one
besides that gotta give the fav slot to nemesis sword or hades spear
Gaming articles about Hades trying not to
be idiotic challenge
Actually let me take a look at this one before I say that
Did you even look at it lmao
they’re usually 4 iq
Looked at the very top of the article. Huge mistakes already
Yeah bruhhh
i dont blame him gaming journalism is usually turbo ass
Rng gives me the biggest middle finger sometimes when choosing shield I swear.
Like ik people say spear has the worse hammers but imma have to object to that claim
Shield is worse imo.
They ranked chiron high opinion discarded
Im not going to do super high heat so 🤷♀️
yo either a ton of new people started playing and unlocking new aspects or people’s opinion changed, i never hear people talk good on hades aspect
i dont really care how good it is i just like it
You don’t need to be at super high for this to be wrong chiron just ain’t it chief
i have every aspect for everything
The guan-yu ranking is solid
Idk what that even is
Weapon aspects
For what one tho
my favorite bow is the cast one
you unlock em once you have all 6 wrapomd
Bow
i feel like a few weeks ago i was talking about what aspects i prefer and everyone was like ”dude why” but now everyone is playing everything
this is not a game where i care about being optimal i just play whatever i feel like at the moment
They put Chaos in S rank 
Yeah but the tried and true method of just
a ton
If play
Shows which ones just work
love chaos shield with the hammer that makes the shields bounce more

Of course you can make a good aspect bad with a bad playstyle but the peak of a bad aspect is a lot farther down
hell yeah
Do you have a list then?
Chaos aspect gets so much hate here
But i dig it
ngl bro on this topic i hate the gun
That hammer only lets one of the Special shields bounce. The rest just vanish after one hit
it just feels so much less cool and fun to me
Oh god the gun
I used to love it, now i always die in tart with it
ive never had as much fun on a gun run as i have on my worst hands runs
Its my main
My first CLEAR was with the gun, but now i struggle on the furies with it
And every moment I feel like unleashing chaos with zeus attack + delta chamber 🔥
I have a list for aspects within their own weapon but
It’s harder to rank weapon to weapon and I wouldn’t go for that
whats your thoughts on the fists hidden aspect
havent played it much tbh
i like either demeter bc its good or playing zagspect and building stupid levels of dodge chance
not dememter i meant uhh
the mag cutter one
Talos
you should try it, its probably the most controversial weapon aspect in this server
demeter is fine too but i dont play it much
Demeter is the one where the special gets charged after the weapon hits 12 times right?
Or is that talos
yup
hidden fists will either become your favorite thing ever or you’ll absolutely hate it, there is nearly no in between
gilga or talos or chiron?
yeah dem is 12 special
Gilga
Bugowolf is like hera for shiekds
I'm ngl I don't like demeters aspect that much.
Zag fists ftw
Nah it’s just mid
gilga is the most controvercial aspect here
zagspect hands is peak
There’s not much to talk about gilga
you either absolutely hate it and dont see the point or hate the moveset
or you absolutely adore how different it feels
i dont remember what it does besides feel kinda weird
Do you have a tier list for the spear? Cuz thats the one im best with
See I can seperate the fun from ghe function
Gilgamesh can be fun, but I'd be careful about calling it good lest we accidentally cause unnecessary struggle 
You can have fun with aspects regardl ess of their functionality
Yes
Just don’t @ me telling me it’s good
Gilgamesh is only optimal for dash%
Can gilga BE good? Maybe
It it GOOOD? No.
Depends what you quantify “good” as
my thing with tierlists when it comes to a game like hades is
who cares
just play what you feel like and get good at it and youll win
Unless you're jazz, then you can only have fun on good aspects
some are kinda harder yea but itll still be fun
For speed:
Achilles > guan-yu > zagreus > hades#
For heat:
Guan-yu > achilles > zagreus > hades
It's good 😀
No sarcasm: people trying to clear, speedrunners, and people climbing Heat
except the shield the shield should be upgraded with nyquil instead of titan blood
My bar is low. Good just means Not-Arthur-levels of unredeemable
thats tru actually fair enough
Pretty much everything can do that
excalibur is so cool though
So you see where a few of us are coming from then
ya
I’m not out here trying to clear high heat, and be optimal, i’m here to feel like a mad scientist with the dumb synergies i create
If you ask me what’s good I’m going to tell you what has documented good history
rather than
what feels fun
im not high enough heat to need to optimize things so i just be playing whayever
so thats fair
and can work in a game where anything can work
occasionally rack up a win, other times go out in a blaze of “thats fine i shouldnt have been able to make that work anyway”
you can’t make something in Hades that doesn’t work you can just make things that are more functional
more potent
than others
i think you can
incredibly good game design on their part
everything is doable if you just try hard enough
guys, there are items in the cauldron that says duration: x encounters. i am not native english speaker so i am having hard time understanding it. does it mean, the item lasts x encounters or item lasts forever after x encounters ?
It lasts that long
not asts forever
lasts x encounrers
okay, thanks
If it’s chaos it’s different
Scorch dmg needs to ramp up. Just put 5k scorch dmg on a boss and then had to dodge for an enternity till they died.
Maybe something like tick rate increases every 5 seconds its already burning
Idk
its called well of charon i guess
Oh NVM the right place then lol
Sry
when i play hades 1 and want to be optimal i just go to town with flood flare mirage shot beowulf 
The benefits only last for those numbers
okay, thanks you all
Maybe rebind some stuff
Your "About Me" on your profile is amazing 👀
Same with hera

Honestly, I think the only thing I ever really change was putting load cast on a bumper or a trigger and putting interact on a face button
yeah
because otherwise you have an unholy
Thumb configuration
to do
my controller has paddles so if my hand hurts i just put something on there
I bet Mr. Korb is behind that button configuration. He seems like he has powerful thumbs
but that doesnt normally happen less i play for hours
Hi before i send anything i just wanted to make sure that the #h2-tech-support is for bug reporting correct?
I used to have my attack as right trigger and my special as right bumpper till hades 2
Should ask maybe in #h2-discussion
Or press F10 from the game window
Honestly, me being a controller player is the big reason that I really wish that console players would also get some sort of early access for Hades 2
Because i know feedback from controller players could be slightly lacking in a pc-only early-access community
oh bet thank you i didnt know there was a built in bug reporter
i found one while using the Hex that turns you into an impervious thingy
but then theres the struggles of getting EA working on console, so obviously thats not really feasible
essentially if you spam special when the ability is abou to end you get stuck and cant walk
Am I bugging or is it way easier to dodge with a controller compared to joycon
Please Hades 2 channel for Hades 2 chat
This is for Hades
Honestly i dont think that’s an entirely inaccurate statement
ive gone back and forth from joycons and regular controllers and only seem to have problems with any inputs on joycons
Then EA would take 5x longer tbh
thats the problem
Honestly same.
It's so strange idk if it's bc I technically started out as a controller player and only recently came back to joycons after I got my replacements
It just feels so much smoother with controller lol.
but theres a part of me, a part of me that is wrong and i will admit it
that thinks if console players have to wait, EVERYONE should
I wouldn't go that far
Cuz EA is to make sure things go smoothly on full release
Can fix bugs as they happen instead of having 500000 on release
and obviously i know that eliminates the possibility of an early access, and early access is a privilege a lot of games dont get,
but at the same time, so many games come out just fine and they dont get an early access
Roguelikes and CRPGs probably benefit from a billion sets of eyes because of their numerous and often complex systems
i used to think a lot stronger on the subject
i used to think it was just kinda outright unfair because the combined console community would likely be larger than the PC one
And in that context, it makes no sense to only have one third or fourth of your community testing your game
Doesn't matter what community is bigger for games when it comes to EA its what is easier to develop on
Consoles have more things you need to work with than PC
Maybe it helps to focus on a single platform to get the in-game stuff sorted before tackling system-specific stuff
Also that
Im just playing Hades 1 while I wait for it lol
Like it sucks
I gotta come here and hope people dont talk too much about it, partially out of not wanting spoilers, partially out of being bitter that i have to wait cuz i play on console
While a good chunk of the community gets to play the game, albeit unfinished, like a year or two earlier than me
I want a complete story and gameplay, I do own EA on my steam deck but im waiting to play it till its fully out
The only thing that i as a console player can hope for is that Early access isnt two years like last time
Then i'd just stay away from the hades 2 channels and try not to look at fanart?
Absorb the powers of the shades waiting in line to see Hades! Absorb their mighty powers of patience
Cuz like its out and available, you can plug in a controller to a pc if needed
Its steam deck verified so it works on controller I can confirm as well
I played the Technical test and still have it in my library
im pretty certain my computer is too trash
i cant even play single player minecraft
Minecraft is open world lmao
Hades isnt
And you can always refund it if it doesn't work
If you really wana play theres no harm in trying
i suppose its possible
I've decided that before I jump back into Hades 2, im gonna finally finish getting all the steam achievements in Hades
if its anything like the playstation trophies, then its not all that hard all things considered
Im gonna try and 100% the game on PlayStation then I may do that since I own it on there too
Its exactly the same lol
I havent platinumed it but the list is pretty easy from what i know
I also have a much further save on my steam cuz cross save from switch
sadge that there were technical issues so they couldn't add cross save to PlayStation but oh well idm replaying
Honestly, even though there are times where I purposely get the switch version of a game to avoid trophies or anything of the sort
I kinda wish nintendo would stop acting like they’re better than the concept of achievements or trophies
Because so many games would track them within themselves if nintendo would LET them
Lmao im the opposite, I hate playing games without achievements
Like even the netflix mobile port of hades has built in achievement tracking
Good thing is when you link up your save to steam you get all the achievements right away
On steam
So I got like 20 when I opened my old save lmaooo
I think the problem is Nintendo sees it as like another thing they have to develop
Like if they implemented it for other games, theyd kinda have to for their own for it to not be weird
or that theyd have to come up with their own like gamerscore or trophy system or whatever
I dont like Nintendo anymore so idc really anymore
honestly though, if they do it any time, they should do it with their next system cuz they said that the switch’s account system will carry over onto the next device
Hey quick question I completed all the work orders. Is the rest only cosmetic or do they unlock anything of importance?
I believe so?
If you completed the first page and you’re out of all the diamond stuff on it, then yeah, remainder is just cosmetic
Tbh they will never add achievements
I dont think they will either, but with the next system leaning towards like ps4 and xbox-one level power on a portable platform, there isnt a better time to do it
but they wont
Still doesn't change that its a Nintendo system
out of curiosity, what made you give up on nintendo
fair
so its more like a power thing
switch is weaker so you go to something better?
What im probably gonna do speaking of that is 100% hades on my PlayStation and then 100% on steam and do the 50-100 clears on my steam deck
Steam deck is 100% better
Has achievements, can run up to 120 fps (tho recommended is 90)
You can pirate it on there
Ive seen ppl do it
I actually still need to cancel my switch membership eventually
Actually wait a minute I just realized something..
I have more achievements on my steam of hades
Compared to PlayStation
Maybe I should 100% that first...
I have 30/49 on steam and 14/50 on PlayStation
i mean usually im 100% on board for saying “pirating nintendo games is always okay”
But they seem to care WAY more about that than they have in the past, to the point that they’re taking down emulators the second they’re put up
So like MORALLY, yeah you can, but they’re actively trying to stop people from it
Playstations extra one is just the platinum, right?
Yeah
Hmmmm
Maybe i will just go back to steam..
I have a save with 89 attempts and 19k darkness
Oh uh steam deck question
What's the highest damage combo for the gun
1280 x 800 is the normal but doesn't fill the oled screen bur 1280 x 720 does but also stretches everything, is there a mode that doesn't do that?
Oh i looked it up and they did it for a reason :(
But Hades 2 is the correct size...
https://fixupx.com/kaithefaee/status/1789065295178367120?s=61&t=IhJ8GIqK-u4yKZMDkkXWCA
This is what i mean
Like does Zag look a bit longer then normal or is it just me?
Definitely looks longer to me
||Guys. I think I did everything in the current build. Unless if everything on the Fates list is doable|| redacted
hades 2 chat?
just checkin
Mobile client opened me to here for some reason lmao
honestly i think that might be whats happening to everybody
LOL
That would explain so much except for why the one person got uppity
Okay so the mirror
||you know how you can go to the left and there’s this thing >|<||
||does it add onto the previous upgrades or does it replace them?||
replace
Thanks
Do the relationship hearts add increase chance to better quality boons?
No
Sad, feels like a missed power progression... So the hearts are meaningless beyond the first 2 then?
No, not quite. You get the following:
- Cute chibi portrait on their respective keepsakes at max hearts
- Progress toward epilogue
- More dialogues, I think
And companions
Oh true. I thought the question was just about boon givers
Companions?
So I've been giving the gods heavily when I should have focused all my gifts on the people in the hideout... Smh
I don't care about cosmetics or dialogs, just power progression
Wait till like what 70% discount lol
I'm ngl
Sturdy seems like the most useless thing in the game
helps against getting stunned on pots tho lol
and also reduced damage from that if you have hs
but that's like the only good usecase i've found for it
It really isn’t
Is like permanent uptime on 30% dmg reduction thru hyper sprint
the only thing thats useless is demeter stank ass
you also get || summons from some specific characters if you max their hearts||
Oh true. I thought the question was just about boon givers
so close!
you saw nothing

I misremembered the spoiler tag lmfao
.............
Dyno whyyyy
Hades 2 spoilers! I'm going to steal your potato chips!
#h2-discussion
30% dr is nice

@brisk trail, mate? I just wanted to say thanks for always being there. Not just for me, but also for Sisyphus. This
is for you.
I hope you enjoy it.
I can only use one side of the buff in the mirror in each run? Like fiery presence and shadow presence
yes
is there ones that is better than the other?
yes
mostly use the normal side
the ones you want sawpped are
fiery presence
family favorites
dark foresight
fated persuasion
Stygian soul with extra cast from some source(like chaos or shop pool) is good
stygian has mostly one purpose and its like not impactful for a lot of people
how am I here again 
do you know how I can solve this problem, I changed my PC and reinstalled hades but the game cannot connect to the cloud?
