Best my first 10 heat run
Going to try 16 next
Hopefully extreme measures 4 isn't something crazy
At low heat em4 is fun
btw an old trick from playing smahs I forgot and I might use. I was watching a clip of my heat 32 spear run. and I put it in speed 0.75 or 0.5 and try to understand why you got hit etc
Is this still worth? Also wym convo is over don't bring it back
oh uh sorry, wrong messsge
anyways i'm later in the game now, and I can confirm you can do it once or twice without feeling any damage
because when ur playing... everything is going fast, you dont have the luxury to study habits since you have do a lot of work to get back to try the fight a fight again @somber star
but titan's blood is pretty abundant after you start doing higher heats or getting enough money to buy the blood in styx
Considering you can get 6 ambrosia for killing Theseus with each weapon, I think you're fine trading an Ambrosia one time for a Titans Blood, early on
ahhh do you mind deleting this gif, i am epileptic LOL
Sorry
yeah i have like 20 something ambrosia saved but i don't really care anymore lmao
no worries :)
hording it
like here around 0:33 I slowed it down. I realize I got hit to the spin atk because I though I was safe from the spin move because I though I was safe there since im out of the indicator but failed to remember he actually moves forward
thank you stickybot
i found myself with a lot of titan blood even after upgrading and buying everything, but it was a lot of broker trades and styx money runs to get there to begin with
and 0:44 I really should try to attack hades from the back and side more. Because I notice that he will do the skull move in place and will pivot in place to face you to do it. Thats my cue that stop attacking and try to dodge to the side and create some distance
I would have some tips even tho I didnt won yet ( I probably could but I wanna win with my current meta progression to sorta match the other first one to win ) But spoiler and channel rules
Personally, I would ping them in the appropriate channel, and just move there
so anyway. what I was going to say is if you can start a recording on whatever ur playing. do it before a fight from time to time to record the whole fight and see where you mess up or what ur missing since you dont have the luxury to observe patiently
yeah but it also full on spoiler and there is probably a lot more better peoples then me to answer that. I was just trying to be kind about it
Be like StickyBot: relentless and merciless
wait is there a system behind how often it updates
like message count?
i guess I can test?
It posts at a min of every 2 min to stay near the bottom of this chat
Cool thanks!
If nobody moves, it stays docile, but if it detects so much as a whisper of activity after its 2 min cooldown, it'll be out to bite butts
I should also thank you because it help me remember something I used to know but I was lazy about. Also smash ultimate replay system was garbage
also if you put it on youtube and delist it for privacy sake
you can pause the video and go frame by frame with the comma and dot button on pc
This channel (and category) is for discussing the first Hades game. Please go to #h2-discussion to talk about Hades II.
i just saw it wait for 6 min while nobody was talking
If nobody moves, it stays docile, but if it detects so much as a whisper of activity after its 2 min cooldown, it'll be out to bite butts
ah i see, that makes sense
meow
stickybot i summon thee
should i sell my fishes instantly after atching them or should i keep them for an x reason ?
9 more achievements to go, almost there :)
no point to keeping, just give them to the cook
ok thx
Poseidon's favor requires you to have a fish with you on hand but you can just catch another for that
ok interesting thank u guys
I feel so silly, I need the purge a legendary boon achievement but I could have legit done it in my last run but I was trying to get the charon well achievement 
Are fish for anything? or do I just turn them into bones?
Is thanatos cool with you freeing sisyphus
sisyphus kidnapped him and kept him chained up for ages
yes and no. he dosent like it, but he's "cool" with it since Sisyphus wants to remain in tartarus and he's a changed man
When will I be able to unlock the gods 7th hearth?
Depends by god and some dose of rng, while most favors can be solved by "just keep talking" I suggest checking the wiki for each individual favor
Ok, I've got to the epilogue so there are only a few more things I wanna do before starting hades 2:
- Max out all aspects
- Beat the game with every aspect
- Max out all relationships
- Get all steam achievements
- Complete all minor prophecies
Anything else I should do?
Unseen one rank 
There any really good mods for this game?
The Speedrun modpack has a lot of nice qol stuff that makes runs more consistent and is also good for heat
OlympusExtra adds in Apollo, hestia, and I think Hera? Into the game with custom boons, effects, and voice acting
Oh whoa I wonder how close they got the designs
hades ee
wait what ?
does jsut typing anything similar to hades II trigger the bot?
no? wierd
It posts at a min of every 2 min to stay near the bottom of this chat
If nobody moves, it stays docile, but if it detects so much as a whisper of activity after its 2 min cooldown, it'll be out to bite butts
What's that?
Resource dump in dad's chamber
Heat
Takes 325k darkness (+ abunch of other stuff)
Get the skelly statues
Ah yes that
Ahyes forgot to say that
Currently fighting for 32 heat
Played every heat to 19 with the bow
And trying to get a 32 heat run now
i got my save as maxed as possible for me, so im content
i dont want to uninstall though.... hadesgame i love you.....
Charon
Hmm Hades just told me something about the administrative chamber but I still can't go in
Stonkybot
try to sleep, or you can buy a pass later on
You can't sleep though
you can 1 more time later in the game, just check the top left corner if a task appears
There are 2 flashback sequences where you rest
Prob just do another run and try again
Is that sequence truly resting or just on the bed
You know,
Some of the decorations are such a scam
How am I supposed to know some of them take up the same spot???
How much is the upgrade?
2 diamonds I think?
is dash strike damage affected by attack damage, or is it entirely its own thing?
It is affected, but dash strike bonuses don't work on attacks
Some sword hammers don't work on the dash strike tho
Shadow/cursed slash
okay awesome actually
Dash strike bonuses also affect the dash upper of fists
Late AF but I'm doing runs trying to unlock the aspects. Got unlucky with conversations where I didn't trigger the unlock conditions
I had sleeples nights waiting for that answer. Nah, did you manage at least? xD
I'm sorry 😭 and yeah. It took a few more tries. Found out that the first encounter immediately starting a run with trinket locks the conversation that doesn't trigger the unlock conditions and doesn't change even with resets.
So you was reseting your runs over and over again, just to get greeted by the same god? Unlucky, but at least you figured out... eventually.
Em4 is definitely way harder haha
That was crazy
Where do I find the upgrade for the eldest sigil?
I can't find it in the house contractor
I think is mentioned by nyx or have to interact with it in the admin chamber?
Or just do 1 more run
Yeah zag suggested to Nyx she put it in the house contractor and she agreed
I probably just need another run though, that makes sense
Came back home from a long work, laptop turned off, check Hades: My very long 6 heat run at final boss: disappears
Worst of all is that the seed of the run is now gonna repeat... it would be nice if progress had an autosave... I mean I suppose it does, but for some reason if the game closes the wrong way it just- poof back at the house of Hades
Anyway Hewwo all
ok ok im digging the axe fighting style lately ive been using the staff for my runs sadly i haven't beaten chronos yet but im almost close to beating him every run lately
Look, at what Sticky bot says
ooh my bad
automatic response, don't mind it
ok
also what's the question
so basically i got this really op build like 7 attempts in where whenever you hit an enemy you gain 2 health and my max health was 90 so i was pretty invincible
and i got to like the world 4 boss
and died
and when i respawned i had to start from the first world again
so does your progress not save
like when i eventually beat it am i gonna need to go start to finish in one run
the run has to be done in one go yeah
Welcome to your first roguelite game. Run progress is temporary, but you can progress your character and weapon between runs and also improve your own skill as a player until you win win win
do run, die/win, upgrade what you can and go die again
wow this is gonna take a while then because that run took zero skill
i literally just stood there and held attack and blitzed everything
Whoa dere save some skill for the rest of us, eh? 🫎
What does Hades say when you buy the Aphrodite wall scroll? Unfortunately I bought mine when he was out, got a funny Zag line but no Hades
Cursed slash isn’t a great hammer tbh, especially because as you progress, enemies will do more damage than you can realistically recover by striking
Am I the only Theseus enjoyer?
He's fun to hate
10/10 love fighting this guy
He is hilarious
I vibe with Theseus
Apparently you can't pronounce Guan Yu with English sounds
Guan is easy, it's Juan but with a G sound
Yu is like... Yer/Yi but try saying it with your lips pursed like you're about to whistle/straight up cannot write this in English. It is not like "yoo" at all but it's close. Not even gonna try to explain how to implement the third tone lol
german speakers can do it
the pinyin syllable for the word is mostly the same as a german letter
Ü is a menace
yeah that one
now I'm wondering what other sounds don't exist in English because it never occured to me until now that Ü isn't a thing
funny how for the hidden spear aspect they made it into a blade
the red child literally wields a fire spear and is an actual mythological deity
Extreme measure theasus just being legit unfair to melee
Wait till you see EM asterius
beyblading just locks you out of doing anything
Yeah thats including the minatour
best way i would describe it as a chinese speaker is guWan yÜ
it's trippy being able to make a sound, trying to translate it into english, and just not computing
all i'm saying is that it's it absolutely nowhere close to guan yu pronounced in english
doesnt look very possible
for an english only speaker
or any other language without y
insanely annoying sound to make
@ english speakers, it's like trying to represent C (the music note) in text
关于(guan yu)
This video tells you how to pronounce the above characters in Modern Standard Mandarin Chinese.
Maybe a singer or voice actor could get it reasonably quickly
I wanna hear Señor Korb pronounce it
So many people familiar with the phoneme 👀 and possibly Chinese to some extent
Or maybe linguists, those clever rapscallions
Grr
aspect of arthur is slower than normal i assume?
ngl its kinda just like when ur whistling
i have watched every episode of conlang critic so that counts right
So the only thing that I'm wondering is why does the Quarter Century clear message show up at 250 clears instead of 25
the epilogue quest requires you to have max hearts with all olympians right
no
you need to be at max with 6
or if demeter is one of the 6 then you need demeter at lock
Oh hey, it’s been a while, having fun with other game?
Man, that’s gonna be hard to get used to lol
i stopped playing becuae this game sucks
no idea how i ever enjoyed it
waste of like a year and a couple months lol
Oof, that sucks, just here to gove advice and vibe ig?
sure
YESSSSS!!!! I got Aphro Call
I think it's funny how people are automatically made out to dislike hades when they first meet him but they forget that he literally spent the majority of his childhood in a titans stomach only to be forced into a deeper darker place in the underworld right after he got out. It's no wonder he's so grumpy all the time
Within this game I have ran into smth and have a question
You don’t gotta read all of this but at the end it tells you the dps that I encountered
The crystal beam
Does 14 damage every 0.2 seconds.
I have a chaos boon that increases this by 50% so 21 damage every 0.2 seconds.
Plus I get 35% damage bonus when they hit him from behind so 35% of 21 is 7.35.
Therefore 28.35 damage every 0.2 seconds.
This equates to 140.35 damage per second.
Then with the help of two other boons we can get 90 extra damage for each time a full stack of chill is reached, each attack equates to one chill therefore after 2 seconds it adds 90 damage each crystal, which is 45 damage per second therefore 185.35 damage per second total.
Now with other boons active we can keep 8 of these crystals out at a time which means 1482.8 damage per second in total.
I feel like 1482.8 damage per second is impossible so am I missing something lmao
It’s not impossible but you’ve calced parting shot damage as if it is multiplicative, but it’s additive
Could you elaborate?
The damage per cast per 0.2s is 14*(50% + 35%) which is 25.9 not 28.35
I always do.
Man, I need to shake the rust off, I’m so bad.
excellent
Can’t be getting the next game at this level
I see netflix has hades for IOS but as an android user is there any chance Google Play gets the game available through netflix?
guys how do i get secret aspect of the twin fists ? i was trying to play the game without any spoilers but i can't get it, like i think i went to the last boss about 9 times 'till now and beaten him 2 times, do i have to kill him like 10 times to get it or something ?
You have Guan Yu rii?
Have you fully upgraded fists?
wdym by fully upgraded
You need to spend at least five blood on the fists
??? I didn’t even mention the other game
Then you need to fight Asterius alone
does the zagreus aspect count
if it does i already did it
if it doesn't i didn't
I think it doesn’t because I feel like you should’ve beaten Asterius with Fists already and it should unlock then
asterius is the boss before hades right ?
Yuh, but I mean the Elite room before you fight both Asterius and Theseus
Room with the skull on it before the boss fight
After you beat him with the fists continue on and on the next run when meet you meet him again he’ll tell you the waking phrase
Yuh
Why do I feel that after beating boss 1 time, it gets easier
Because it does
Athena has a canon list of prophecies from the three fates, doesnt this pose a problem for Zagreus and his family in the future?
are spoilers allowed?

Is there a reason the game isn't offered on Android and only ios
I'm ngl I can't help but feel so awesome when I'm on my last life and I beat hades despite having only 15 hp left lol.
Strong drink + high health be doing wonders for me istg.
I think the sticky bot needs to be in every h1 channel 
It should only work if someone is actually off topic tho it's annoying asf when it pops up after every message even if you're talking about the first game lol
This channel (and category) is for discussing the first Hades game. Please go to #h2-discussion to talk about Hades II.
It is a bit annoying but there isnt really a way to for a bot to detect it accurately
And id rather be annoyed than have the game spoiled for me
anyone that actually has purchased all the titles given to by Resources Director, how many hours do you have in the game?
yeah id much rather the thing just stays
given that like at least 25% of the messages now in these channels are people talking about h2
I mean that much is a reach ngl
i have never watched hades videos
habitually
really early on i watched some haelian but idk i cant stand watching people play the game for very long
Gotta say its fantastic timing to release early access right in the middle of exam season
yeah
After the 17th im free
im free after wednesday
but they also timed the release perfectly to when i got so mega burned out on hades i dont even want to play 2 anymore rn
in the ytd ive ground for like hundreds of hours and gotten a total of 1 good result and its just so tiring
I took a break from November to march pretty much
i didnt play that much during winter break
because i was playing other games
mostly crystal project
but then i picked back up when school started again
Classic
but since like mid april i havent really been playing
for one thing i startd doing like actual things
got back into reading and going on walks and stuff
ive been watching my friend play and its been fun but also making me clutch my head in agony a little. he got to dad with talos fists and died to heroes with hera bow
is ur run still the only mobile run on the boards lol
Yeah lmao
im too entrenched in op builds and optimized play
sometimes i pick the game back up for a couple runs and without fail it tells me to go away rapidly
Watching new players is fun
like that 1:19 tart exit with mirage and epic shot and no cshot
i used to go on twitch and try to find new players to watch
but its so boring
and i dont wanna be the one whos giving loads of unwanted advice
Oh id only do it in person
lol i also do that but a lot of them have a vibe im not interested in
And i would basically shut up about what boons to take
and also nobody has ever fallen for my twitch BackseatGamingAllowed tags
which makes me sad
Gonna backseat your stream and tell you to roll past rare rd
Hey I've been wondering
Who are the other summons in the game?
I only know about Than and Meg.
Also follow up question are all the summons romances are Than and meg just coincidences
Achilles/skelly/dusa/
Wait fr
Now I feel bad for kinda neglecting skelly and achilles lol
I give everyone nectar like once and then drop them 😅
Same
Alright I "beat" Hades 1 after playing it in preparation for 2
35 attempts, 10 escapes
I think I have carpel tunnel now
103 attempts, 80-smth escapes
Gilgamesh is kinda broken ngl team
yeah they should repair it so it can deal damage
yeah I got it after 20 or so runs and after that I can just do it consistently
cringe bot
nice nice
gun best weapon, surely they will bring it back in 2 (clueless)
What's the boon of artemis in hades 1 where when she attacks arrows shoot?
support fire?
whenever you attack, special, or cast, an arrow fires
or do u mean her aid
ofcofc
hey folks, quick question, to uninstall mods, do i just delete the mods folder and modimporter?
easiest is to rename the mods folder to something other than Mods and then run modimporter
to anything else? and then after i run modimporter i can just delete it?
if you just want to permanently delete it then you can delete the mods folder and run modimporter
alright, thanks
if you just rename it that makes it easier to reinstall
update: he got his first clear with rail

I swear i pressed F when Meg said to Hypnos "stop being an Idiot"
Good luck with your exams, students!
Died to the Hydra again
Is the different head color in each fight a cosmetic thing pr does it mean something
They mean stuff
Pink = projectile
Orange = lava
Green = summons enemies
Blue = spams headslams (+falling rocks)
And I am forgetting one idk
Never knew that before WOW
-w-
just died to the king and the bull on a fresh file run -w-
just wanted to complain about it somewhere
first time ever getting that far too, wasn't really used to dodging theseus' attacks with only 1 dash
plus he hits like, twice?? so unless you get fully out of range you kinda get hit
how did the VA for asterius make that snorting sound? im trying to do it and i cant
Weak feels like the worst effect out of all of them NFL.
You can also dodge in time, but its tricky with him, since he just sometimes doesnt care about your dash xD
Yo get this sticky bot outa here, he just yapping silliness
Would you rather have people spoil stuff in the second game more often then
We got Packrat, the best bot to protecc this area
So how do the god boon keepsakes work
When do they trigger and force the god I want
Do they only trigger once?
Or influence the first god of each region
If you wear them the first time, they will appear at your next encounter
And they only trigger once
Next boon will be your keepsake god
Unless you get a hammer or hermes is faster
Doesn't apply to shop/your keepsake can get erebus'd
But yeah thanks for clarifying
What's the highest base damage combo weapon?
Arthur if you want the raw number at 300
Highest DPS to be precise
For dos you want hestia (150) or rama (forgot its numbers rn)
Ah
Load cast > release when using the rush
The thing is, its bugged to hell and back
Ah.
Mirage shot on flares (casts when using beowulf) doesn't reduce the dmg of the 2nd cast
So it just doubles your dmg
Duo boon of pos/artemis yeah
Your cast creates a 2nd cast at reduced dmg (which as mentioned, beo doesn't care)
Is solid
Not a big fan of manually reloading all the time tbh
Without clockets styx can be a bit of a chore tho
I've been using nemesis
I suppose all weapons play style are kinda really different
I guess I like high mobility weapons more, might try the fists
So what do I do after getting banned from the lounge?
i killed hades for the 4th time
i think i'm getting used to it
is 19.33 a good time ?
Did you just start playing the game? You'll unlock it in a few runs
I should've taken Demeter's aspect..... The magnets don't even work on bosses....
Wait what
How did this happen
i think you have to talk to some characters as a required story thing
talk to nyx and whoever else you can, do a run, etc. if that doesn't work, prob a bug
Ooh I like the fists
I can dash strike holding down m1
Yeah. I should've done Demeter's aspect.
I still don't have the option to unlock the administrative chambers????
why do we not have a :zagrizz: emote D:
Is that me or the aspect of Hestia is either hard to master or underwhelming? I struggle with this weapon, and I was following a guide concerning the build (artemis on attack+aphro on special, and some zeus). But even with that it feels underwhelming. But as I said I am far from mastering that weapon, maybe i need practice with the very odd mechanic he use (attack->reload->repeat)
What level is your Hestia rail?
Maxed out
Arte attack isn't that great on hestia if you don't get chaos
Or other buffs to your attack
Cuz you either hit like wet noodle or overkill a poor rat
Mmmh, aphro might be better then?
yeah i had this problem 😛
anyone selling a hades key? didnt manage to grab one during the sale
WHEN CAN I GO IN THE FUNNY ARCHIVE ROOM TOP LEFT
hey everyone i've got a question, does hades have an art book? I've been looking for one but I didn't fnid anyrhing
i have some keys to trade too
Nope
I think there was smth along the physical release of the game but it wasn't an art book entirely
oh damn okay
I'd love something like an art book with concepts and everything
istg i'd buy it instantly
Mood
Anyone?
You should be able to buy the admin chambers from the contractor
no. way.
its been 4 rooms.
its the last room and i still havent gotten the satry sack
Get sacked 
Also wow the exploding uppercut gets multiplied by the Demeter aspect too

I have one question about this game
How do I give bouldy nectar?
I keep trying but the option doesn't pop up
you need to have high enough relationship with sisyphus
idk at what point you can do that but it takes a bit
ohhh ok I thought it was a switch thing
okay I never thought to level up my relationship with sisyphus
the laser turret is pretty op 😮
Gahh I just traded my keys for titan blood accidentally
My brain was on autopilot and I thought the trade was give 1 blood to get 15 keys and not the other was around
Keys are plentiful, titan blood is not 🙏
That’s the best broker trade imo
I have used blood on everything I can
And I have saved up enough for the resource director
I don't need more blood
I still need 200 keys for the theme
Holy cannoli
What happened to the heat leaderboard site?
Well I started the epilogue quest and somewhere after that it appeared
Upd: it disappeared after unlocking aspect of gilgamesh
I have a question, which of the weapons is the best one in a long term-game?
after ignoring many peoples recommendation to get hades i finally bit the bullet
and i see the why now
depends how "long term" you're talking about
if you want to get like 32 heat, which is the highest heat you get reward for, then anything works
if you want to go past that or start to speedrun, then it'll narrow it down a decent amount but there's still options
like the highest heat I mean
if you want to clear 64 heat, you'll need to put in a couple hundred hours of work into that
but if that's the case, you'd probably want to use the speedrunning modpack
if you can't/don't want to do that, then zeus shield
64 heat clears with the modpack are still considered valid and would cut down on the amount of hours you spend getting a viable run by a significant margin
and you'd have to practice save states
if you do decide to use the modpack, rama and guan yu can also clear 64 but need to rng for the 2nd hammer
for the record, only like 5 people have cleared 64 heat
and only 2 have done it vanilla
so good luck with that if you wanna do that lmao
how many weapons are there
i know
smh
6
Does hangover get buffed by weapon aspects like Eris?
How many hours until finding persephone btw?
whats the name of the abbys god in hades 1
do keepsakes expire????
How does this game work I have no idea 😭 someone help
just beat the game more
6 weapons, 24 aspects
4 aspects per weapon
like variants, they change up how you use them
the hidden ones change playstyle a lot
also gives you 40% damage reduction at max upgrade
thanks
ZAMN
how much does it give you at base i just unlocked it
did you upgrade it
why is there no tutorial in Hades ?
because you learn by going through runs
the basic mechanics of the game are simple
the rest is just practice
no I mean what about like buttons though, I didn't know I could DASH until like 3 runs
the game does show you what pressing certain buttons do when you select a weapon
also, you could just look at the settings and the buttons
what are all these currencies and damage stuff ? how do they all come together ? is there a weapon inventory to switch weapons mid game or when I choose the weapon at start I stick to it forever
So many questions, unanswered
I mean if u have to go settings to learn controls it's probably not the best idea 😭
You can't switch weapons during a run, but before hand you have the pool with all weapons available as you gradually unlock them. Ashes are used to unlock Arcana Cards, Psyche used to unlock Grasp, the other reagents you find and are used throughout the cauldron to unlock more tools - Which also go into your log where you can check to find where to locate said reagents.
(Hades 2 fanboi here in the wrong turf.)
all i can do is repeat that you learn these things through doing runs and practicing
boons tell you exactly what they do, and currencies are clearly indicated
and no, you can't switch weapons during a run
HADES 1 CHAT
OH
GO TO HADES 2
To the shadows I return.
does the healing get upgraded
nope
oh
the 'optimal' way to play guan yu is to stand far away and repeatedly toss your special at enemies
the charge attack is so finicky to pull off
what about enemies ? I keep walking those weird things that shoot spike for some reasons and there are also sometimes where accidentally a bunch of things fall down to damage me, I have no idea what's going on most of the time 🤔
oh that would explain my pain
using the regular attack/charge attack is not what you're supposed to do on guan yu
because the lowered max hp makes close-range combat really risky
practice, practice, practice. and observation.
what does the upgrade do
if the game feels hard either play more or go god mode
no shame in that
lessen the hp/healing debuff
but even at max upgrade, you have -50% max hp and healing
ok but to practice I need to understand where all the enemies are coming from, why are there random spikes and why does stuff fall down randomly right ?
oh ok
that's how I can practice to get better at them ?
you can see spike traps and stuff falling from the sky can't hurt you unless they flash red
you can't expect the game to spell out literally every detail and mechanic for you, there's a lot of things in hades
it shouldn't be as hard as you make it out to be: standing on certain squares triggers a spike trap, standing on other squares triggers an arrow trap, etc
you can break pillars to crush enemies, very fun
I figured that one out yeah, turns out there are special, visibly distinct squares where standing on them will get spikes I still couldn't get falling things though
then try to discern exactly what causes the falling rubble, and play around with it
how much playtime is usually normal to get the epilogue
sure the game (or people in this server) could just tell you, but it's far more effective for learning if you realize it yourself
Game can be fully understand without wiki, and help of others. For some it will take a bit longer but it is specific for those types of games. Lerning on uour own and getting better is what makes game fun. Game helps you from time to time with conversations
right, skelly will walk you through some general tips on strategies
don't spam dash though that's not good advice
Spam dash might work in bullet hell
hey i played this on release for the switch and beat it, has there been any post launch content since then or no? getting tempted to buy it on steam rn and replay it, just curious
don't mind the bot
was demeter around when you first played?
i only played in the first week or two
i dont remember tbh
well, no harm playing the game again and seeing if there's anything new for you
Hello ! Im digging through hades the first since the release of hades II early access.
I'm curious about how the game handles the encounter and rewards of the rooms ? I know some parts of it are dynamic (like hammer being able to show up again if you skipped it, or god boon pool getting limited to the ones you picked up) but i wonder if the rewards and elite room / founrain rooms follow some rules
I think when it comes to notable rewards its just how the region bosses drop certain items that will only drop again if you change your weapon or add heat level
Im talking about the general door rewards like boons, coins and stuff
Not the currencies you get from bosses
Uhm good question, I have not recognized any pattern. I am pretty sure it's random. @sand sorrel
Not sure if it is what you are asking, but there are 3 rooms with rewards. Common elite and miniboss.
Miniboss always are after certian number of rooms and always have boons for reward.
Elite and common rooms are random, you have chance to get them, as well as the reward that is inside. In elite rooms you can have only boons and pomegranate, hammer. In commons there is everything else and boons.
Boons are limited to some gods and there is 100% chance to get Hermes i belive
Okay so you get some guaranteed biggies out of miniboss rooms
There should be one at zone, so if you miss it the second one wont show if i remember corectly
Oh my gods
I realized I never "Finished" Hades 1
I was playing the game since before that Blood and Money (I think) update. Kept killing shades over and over and stuff. Then I appaently forgot to play when the final update happened. I load into my game and i'm suddenly flooded with a ton of Achievements. XD
how do I complete the gift of song prophesy, the one about learning to play the lyre. I purchased it and got orpheus to offer me to teach it but it doesn't properly play when i interact with it
Use it every run. And some day maybe you will learn
sooooooo i decided to do a non serious run with the bow since i needed the bounties on it for wep upgrades
ended up beating dad for the first time
O_o
got a bunch of demeter boons in the first area so nothing could catch up with my dodges
yeah
Alright thanks
is using it once enough or will it progress faster if I spam it like 10 times each run?
Once is enough
coronacht is really good
once you get some aspects it does mega damage
ah ok
also a cool thing i just found out
the screenwide laser attack hades does has a blindspot
Hug your dad strats
walk right into him and he can't hit you
i dashed into him by mistake and went "oh hey free damage"
the entire laser attack and the pot summon is free damage
Wait hades using lasing full screen u can hit him?
Oh
Yeah right next to him you can just hug him lmao
for phase 1 just get behind him
Never thought of that
he can't turn around fast enough
Sucks for dash striker tho
Is used often for speedruns/fresh file
yeah sheesh he spams the laser spin a buttload
And is even funnier when you unlock EM4
It feels so good to suffer from a run because you have rusted in hades only to return and hear orpheus singing
Lament of Orpheus no less, my favorite
Extreme Measures or EM for short is a challenge condition which gives harder variants to each boss.
EM1 changes only the first boss
EM2 changes the first two bosses and so on
EM4 is the highest you can turn it. It changes all the bosses in the game including the final boss.
spoilers are allowed here, but ty i did not know what EM stands for either
hello
what is the optimal attack boon for hestia rail?
sorry confused it with hestia
but its weird and kinda bad
on hestia u have options
basically just anything with a good %
obviously epic aph is optimal
Hi! A bunch of characters don’t appear on my in game codex, is this an early access thing or am I missing something?
aph is better than artemis ?
is this for h2
yes its more consistent
Yes sorry
theres a h2 suite of channels
but yeah aph will be better most of the time on hestia
you can take arty but it can mean missing out on breakpoints
what are the easiest conditions on the pact of punishment?
check pins in #h1-high-heat-strategies
One thing I wish was possible was to actually fight Hades when he gives you the free pass. Like, he just leaves you at 1 HP, so you can still go see Persephone, but it would be cool if it gave a taste of EM4 without the third phase.
I'm up to 80ish runs and 40 something clears on my 2nd playthrough and I have never not used dark thirst
yooo hi
Yes
Yo, can I request a feedback for Hades in general (as I the request/feedback is for both Hades 1&2)
If you get Charged Skewer on GY, you can pretend to be Zeus! 👀 ⚡
Highest lvl Drunken strike you’ve seen or used?
I’ve gotten 11
You can definitely get higher because I’ve seen lvl50 divine dash legit
I have to try this
And this
This too
Why does your thing have chaos on it?
Themes unlocked after you get all work orders
Ahhh okay
gg
damn elysium got hands
How did you post pictures? I want to attach a video because I have a question for the last weapon aspect, but I can’t attach any media
embed with links
send the file to a different discord and hit copy link
I like to DM bots with my screenshots
yeah same lmao
does anyone know how do I unlock the aspect of arthur, and if it is worth investing in?
blud didn't even talk about hades 2 😭
Have guan yu revealed, place 5 blood on sword, talk to nyx
Is automated
in terms of heing worth it it is not
Poseidon is nice too if you like to cast but are too lazy to juggle casting around the unique Special of Achilles
when what about beowulf for the shield is it a similar case as with the sword?
Most broken aspect in the game 
when what other shield aspect should i put the 5 titan blood minimum in?
beo is the best aspect in the game
Beowulf more like bazooka
beo with posiedon cast 
Is a portable tsunami
isn't it just hera bow with extra steps?
Yes but actually no: it's significantly stronger, especially if you can grab Mirage Shot and Charged Shot
yeah but it's a lot better lmao
the only "extra step" is getting charged shot, but even without it it's still hella strong
I love using Arthur for no boons runs. +100% dmg from chains and Hammer for double dash dmg. Last hit deals massive dmg i you can fit it in fight
i assume you cant but can you transfer your save from switch to netflix hades? XD
Stickybot ate another 'un!
Oh my gosh Stickybot is on a killing spree
HECK YEAH DARREN KORB
I have 2 death defiance and I’m about to go fight hades again
Do I stand any chance LOL
should be right
I beat him with only 1 revive used
Any advice
I havent even gotten him past his first life yet
if he spawns the skulls then rush and kill them if u can
u will get used to his moves and the visual tells for them
you probably into the fight already but make use of the columns, his lasers can't get you if you're behind the columns
if you have a melee you can hug him during the lasers and keep meleeing him
his big swing has a wide arc, get outta there if you're not confident dashing into him
Okay update
Got his first life by mainly running away and spamming Demeter’s laser thingies
Still have 2 death defiance but I’m on 9 health
Pray for me! I’m probably bouta die!
Noted
❤️ I love stickybot
I DID IT BOYS! I GOT THE ZAG X MEG X THAN CUTSCENE IN HADES
BRUH
This ain't even about the sequel!
Is automated 
Ugh
confirmed the same cutscene is in Hades 2
This is a skill issue of the highest order,but...
I've probably attempted at least 20 erebus gates, and maybe got 2. I SWEAR 15 of those i missed by a single hit
just dont do them lol
I'm greedy
Quick question: does maxing out your relationship with a specific character alter the keepsake in some way? (Aside from getting their little chibi portrait on the keepsake screen, that is)
no
Excellent, thank you.
hi all i "finished" the game (ie beat the final boss) twice but now i want to go for epoligue. i also want to play around with pact of punishment, what settings do you reckon i should try tweaking?
i am talking about the first game yes
Thanatos is so hot
real
but yeah idk what i should do now in the game
also how do i open those nectar bottles
like the ones you get from defeating theseus and asterius
the credits are at 10 wins so you gotta win more before you get a chance at the epilogue lmao
yeah i know
Extreme measures is the most fun pact
Adds a lot of variation/dialogue
how do i make it more fun
they're basically necaar+ so you gotta get a character to a locked heart and then do their favor
right i'll have that
right, i've got achilles maxxed out, what do i need to do now
right
Bad idea for this one in specific lmao
Need to have done orpheus's or Sisyphus favor (or both I don't remember)
And talk with Patroclus
The reasoning is bc achilles fears getting in trouble
is that orpheus's quest?
So if you solve either of those first is like "oh this can work"
ah that makes sense
Reunite him with eury
you're like 2 wins in lmao you've got a considerable amount of dialogue to get through before you even consider actually using ambrosia
maybe i should just befriend meg instead?
that works
sure
thatd be my secondary goal then
also one thing
(why does this bot keep spamming this)
it makes sure that message is at the bottom of the channel so everyone sees it
i get more titan blood/ambrosia every time i turn heat up and use a new weapon right
Yeah
now i want to ask
To keep climbing the heat with a weapon you need to win the run tho
say i use spear at 1 heat and win
then i use machine gun at 2 heat
in the second run, do i get 1 titan blood and 1 ambrosia, or 2 of each?
if you skip heat it'll claim the bounty for the lower heat
right
so you can't "skip heat" for more rewards
clearing 5 heat will claim the 2 heat bounties
Heat is per weapon too
yeah i know it's per weapon
and then after that if you clear with 5 heat again it'll claim the 3 heat bounties
wait
oh
ic
right so i'd want to use 1 heat for each weapon before going on to 2 heat etc
Yeah there's no benefit to go higher than needed
But if you want more fun pacts and can win with it
You can just repeat that until bounties catch up to your heat lvl
yeah ic what you mean
also a question - do yall just go with whatever weapon gives more darkness when starting a run
i like doing that
Nah
cos idk i dont like thinking about builds
20% ain't much for me
nah but it just helps me select a weapon
And some weapons I just don't like
i dont rlly have favourites
do renovations actually do anyth apart from making the place look diff
apart from stuff like the admin area & orpheus
Nope, just cosmetic
i want to ask something demeter have a boon that up damage when you have no cast does it work when you store your cast like in weapon like the bow and shield
yep, it works.
nice boon to have for hera and beowulf because of it.
im playing the most op build ever
Elaborate.
Dot range weapon
The god of wine is broken
using the lucifer aspect all i need to do is spam special and dodge they just die idk
until they stomp you lol

hades?
ignore the bot, it's just repeating itself randomly
I'm about to have my 10th successful run. I've been told that ||Hades doesn't fight you in this one||. Does this mean I won't get a ||Titan Blood|| either?
you do get it, dw
guys
uggghhhh i am at the end of elysium
this run is the first time i made it to elysium and thus this far
i have no idea what im against
i faced off this guy named thanatos but i couldnt understand what happened
For gameplay is a kill contest
Thats not elysium specific, right… now its not anymore
The first time it is
Get more kills = free centaur heart
Less = no reward
i just killed enemies and i think he was also attacking me but he stopped and gave a heart
ohhhh i thought i would immediately die if i killed less
He does no damage to you dw its his aoe
gl xD
Good luck beating the second boss again
Recently got back into Hades, trying to complete it in preparation for Hades 2, and I’m wondering if anyone likes the shield. I can not figure it out, is it good? Or am I just playing it wrong?
Don't use the special unless it's zeus aspect
I like shield, but the basic throw is bad
I'm trying to wrap up the "fully upgrade all standard keepsakes" achievement, any ideas which weapons would be the fastest for clearing?
The shield is my favourite weapon, I use the hidden aspect on it :)
Default shield/chaos shield just wanna pick up charged shot and win
I like slow sword wep
One shot gun maybe
Prob something like hestia/rama where you only need first boon + hammers to make it work w/o much issue
So then you can use the other biomes with whatever you wanna upgrade
Yeah I'm using rama rn just try try it but not a huge fan so I'll give hestia a go
pins in #h1-story-discussion
I've killed so many enemies and still haven't gotten the ares prophecy or unlocked his last heart
Why?
Hey about boons. There is 1 that allows your God gayge to charge faster when you take damage. Does dodging count as getting hit? Otherwise it would say it charges whenever you take damage
Can someone explain
good game
Just started playing yesterday and it’s incredible. Can’t wait to get home from work and keep grinding.
Oh, thanks
How is Varatha supposed to be spelled in Ancient Greek? Is it Βαραθα? Or maybe Ἀραθα, from earlier Ϝαραθα?
is lernie a male or female because what the hell i don't know if i call it a he she they or whatever 😭
They
Prolly a dude cuz Lernean Hydra was one tho
noted
Pretty sure lernie is female
Pretty sure Lernie is a pile of bones and a big pain in the butt, especially with slammy heads
Lernie is a they them not because they're nonbinary but because they're straight up 7 guys (real)
not great
it's a low % and you're only taking it bc you dont have anythign better to take

My bad
thanks 👍
Which weapon do you advise me to max next? I already have the bow of Chiron fully maxed
Idk which weapon to max now
I think I’ll go with the shield of chaos
don’t
it sucks
it’s really bad
as in
the aspect bonus is useless
I’ve been using it and it’s been doing me well
it’s actually not that bad in terms of shield being good
but chaos aspect is just completely worthless
Which shield should I use then
any other one
zeus is really good
and the hidden shield is the best aspect in the game
Hm interesting
Yeah I don’t have that one yet
But I’ll unlock the Zeus then
Ty
granted nearly every aspect is better than chiron
Oh his shield is pretty
For the bow?
yeah
It has been amazing for me
No
I’ve been using Chiron and it’s been amazing for me
Idk why you think it’s bad
It deals so much damage to every boss
It's indeed pretty slow and low on damage
it deals next to nothing (compared to numbers almost any other aspect can accomplish), what are you on about 🗿
i mean they’re a new player
i don’t think they have the framework on what a lot of damage is
yep, figured as much as soon as them probably being new was brought up 
What is your opinion on the spear of Guan yu? Is it worth investing?
I invested a bit into it but I just can’t get accustomed to it
It feels really slow…
just make sure ur using special mainly
and dash strikes
not the attack combo
which is clunky and slow and bad
I haven’t used the spear all that much, is it even the best aspect for it?
achilles is
Spear is overall kinda weak
Yeah I got that feeling.
It’s the one I’ve been using I just can’t get used to the other one
I already finished the main quest of the game, but I wanna do the post game so figured I’d ask for help regarding weapons and aspects
To make the job a little easier and fun
Have you tried the gun?
The rail? Yeah
I used it a lot
With the aspect that increases damage when we stand inside the explosion
Forgot the name
No
I would recommend it then, just get it to a high enough level
Hm I figured the Eris one was better no..?
And I want to unlock the hidden sword aspect, I’ve been enjoying the sword a lot lately
Uh, both are very strong and different people will give you different answers, but I like Hestia more
Yeah I figured the rail is overall pretty nice
seconding this, hesty and eris are about equal for most things
Hestia is so much safer
eris has a bit of an edge for obnoxiously high heats due to firing quicker, but hestia is safer, precisely
Is the hidden sword one good?
I haven’t discovered it yet but I hope it’s good
The sword is one of my favorite weapons to use
The hidden sword is one of those "fun but not great" aspects
it's hard to use, but it's very good
it's very facetanky, I'll say that much. not the greatest
I second this
Ehhhh
not great, but very good
That’s good enough for me lmao
That’s the one I always used
pos sword is my personal favorite sword
for heat, false, poseidon sword still has the lowest heat wr out of any aspect. for speed, poseidon sword is one of the best RTA aspects, since all you really need is a good cast
Me when I want sword wins w/o sword
...is this bot working as intended?
Sword is on the weaker side of weapons, but fun
the sword and fists are mediocre for most things
but I like them 
rta?
Yeah it tries to keep the message at the bottom
wuzzat
Real time
Nah, but it’s underrated as hell.
Real Time Attack speedruns @static shoal
It’s pretty well balanced.
Rail is my GOAT
