rustic vale
#

Asterius just trashed me but that’s thanks to everything stupid I’m trying to do bouldy

plain junco
#

this might be my first hades win??

#

prob not

#

but hey

rustic vale
#

4 dd’s

#

You’ve got quite a bunch of hp to burn through

plain junco
#

last time I used three of my dds against hades I couldn’t even get him to phase 2 😭

plain junco
#

poison time

rustic vale
#

Just avoid them

plain junco
#

okay

rustic vale
#

Use your special to clear out small rats and shield to deal with

#

the bigger guys

plain junco
#

I won’t be talking much

rustic vale
#

both your special and your shield rush have great aoe for styx

#

use the special to clear out small rats ahead and damage bigger guys as you defend yourself

plain junco
#

Zeus and Pom or Hermes

rustic vale
#

Well actually

#

It depends on what you already have from hermes

plain junco
#

couldn’t afford it

#

took Zeus and Pom

#

I got double strike

#

full health and 4 dds going into hades

rustic vale
plain junco
#

rustic vale
#

Best of luck

plain junco
#

NO DEATHSSSS

#

first deathless run and victory

rustic vale
#

Is where it’s at

plain junco
#

nah it’s too late

#

I already quit

#

I’ll do that tmrw

#

shield is op

#

and also the plus one dash

#

I just blocked the attacks

#

and when he stood still I used festive fog

#

ngl the summons did more dmg than him

#

27th? attempt I think

gusty cave
#

Why is the lifesteal blade/ revenge combo so stupid op

#

I am talking about hades 1

#

Is the bot broke

latent moon
#

it refreshes the message every 2 minutes

#

so that it's always visible

gusty cave
#

Damn

latent moon
#

so people don't just walk in and drop spoilers

latent moon
#

it's a pretty common new player trap

old bluff
#

New players and cursed slash goes together like peanut butter and jelly

latent moon
#

cursed slash isn't good bc it doesn't apply to dash strikes, which is what you want to do on sword

gusty cave
#

I can't send images here?

latent moon
#

and you dont really want to use standing strikes

#

use image embeds

gusty cave
#

Excuse me?

mint coral
#

send img to other discord, right click, "copy link"

latent moon
#

yeah

#

or use imgur

mint coral
#

or use a bot's dmg or smth like-

#

yeah that

gusty cave
#

I'm so comfy that I'm doing all the chambers before hades

latent moon
#

i mean you can still make it work but that doesnt make it good lmao

old bluff
#

Have fun with the 4 min Hades fight

latent moon
gusty cave
#

Which channel then?

old bluff
#

you can just DM a bot and post it here

latent moon
#

some other private channel/server for yourself

#

or that

gusty cave
#

Ah kk

#

Anyways yea this build will take so long to kill hades

#

Gonna stack on revenge damage

#

Oh never mind I got 4 different s boons to help with my god guage

old bluff
#

Btw a defensive keepsake is better going into Styxdad rather than a damage keepsake

gusty cave
#

Btw whose boon should I go to now?

old bluff
#

options?

gusty cave
#

Athena or hermes

#

I'm currently doing a god gauge/revenge/ lifesteal build

jagged hamlet
#

Oh my goodness please explain your profile picture. I am very curious

gusty cave
#

Cause I have 4 boons that help recharge my god guage and it's Athena

old bluff
#

prob hermes for mobility

gusty cave
#

Also I'm taking quick recovery

jagged hamlet
#

Thanks!

gusty cave
#

btw can you fight charon in the final plane?

rustic vale
#

You can only roll the bag at midships in non-styx biomes

gusty cave
#

bro i'm off by 8 coins to buy a pam

#

alright hades time

gusty cave
#

LMAO IT ACTAULLY WORK

stoic summit
#

can i just string the lyre 210 times to complete it or does it only progress a certain amount each escape attempt?

jagged hamlet
#

I'd do a bit each time and also talk to Orpheus

mint coral
#

you can do it in one go but still need to talk to orpheus a few times

#

is technically better to do it in one go cuz zag stays in the playing animation longer after each talk but for sanity purpose just spread it between runs

jagged hamlet
#

Or set up a Steam Input macro 👀

tepid plover
#

I used to play it like 5 times between runs

grand glade
#

Maxed out Forced Overtime can get really out of hand, jeez

#

Learned that the hard way

grand glade
#

I think I also had a few ranks of Hard Labor in that run

#

Didn't even make it to Hades

#

Died to a Snakestone

normal torrent
#

hiyo

grand glade
#

And of course, Hypnos had a specific quip for that death

#

He sure is good at rubbing it in

normal torrent
#

it be hard smtmes

grand glade
#

No, the green floating laser crystals

normal torrent
#

oh

grand glade
#

They're nasty with certain pact conditions

stoic summit
# grand glade No, the green floating laser crystals

those guys are mad annoying you cant even stop their attack when they have that stupid sheild and then they have like 18 zillion lazers around you hitting you for 9999 damage every 0.000000001 seconds like goodness chill already

austere burrow
#

Is there a "hidden" reward system for not gettong hit or clearing rooms fast?

austere burrow
next ledge
#

No “hidden” reward. Only two keepsakes that rewards fast clear and no hit

tepid light
austere burrow
#

It says in the game

austere burrow
tepid light
next ledge
austere burrow
tepid light
#

The keepsakes

next ledge
#

A keepsake, the things you get for gifting one nectar

austere burrow
#

Thanks❤️ so only keepsakes for clearing rooms / no hits?

tepid light
#

Correct

latent moon
#

if you finish the run fast you get a unique run clear message on the victory screen

rustic vale
austere burrow
rustic vale
#

And

#

Clearing rooms without getting hit will likely lead to you getting your victory screen because you notably aren’t taking damage and dying tizomg

#

Aside from that the game doesn’t really keep track of hitless or speed (aside from the aforementioned keepsakes)

austere burrow
#

I see... its just a thing Enter the gungeon does, thought there is a similar thing here

restive cave
#

what build is the easiest to beat heat 32 with?

next ledge
tepid plover
#

my first 32 heat win was with zeus shield

next ledge
tepid plover
#

i dont even remember was the boons were, since i didnt even pick them, sorry

FSR 3.1 and Frame Generation Support ?

You may ask why because hades/hades 2 is not high end hardware demanding games but many people playing this games on steam deck.

These technologies are increase battery time well because device using less power while maintain same performance.

FSR and FG are must technologies in these days.

#

and i love how it sends them to the spoiler allowed channel

rustic vale
#

It’s most often just doing it after a few messages were sent to ensure

#

That nobody from h2 gets stuck here

tepid plover
#

so should i leave?

rustic vale
#

since it does a way better job at the bottom of the channel

rustic vale
#

Then stay here

tepid plover
#

i wasnt really complaining, just thought of a funny meme

rustic vale
#

The main thing is to get confused h2 gamers out of here so h1 gamers can talk about h1 in peace

#

if you’re a h1 and h2 gamer you’re fine to be here just talk about h1

tepid plover
#

im a h3 gamer

#

EM4 ||I managed to beat Hades phase 2, sighed with relief that I was done, then the music kicks in. Who let Hades have a Phase 3 and why was the music so good that it almost managed to distract me and cause my death?||

rustic vale
#

You let him have a phase 3

#

You chose EM4

tepid plover
#

asking darren to not cook is like asking a baby to not cry

#

its in their nature

fading haven
#

I didn't know EM4 had that, it was awesome. So good I didn't got spoiled before locking in that EM4

tepid plover
#

is a nice surprise

runic jungle
#

I have a question for tight deadline.
Does it apply to bosses too?
That's the main thing I'm concerned about

tepid plover
runic jungle
tepid plover
#

yes, tight deadline does indeed run thru bosses

runic jungle
#

Oh boy.
Not using that one then lol

next ledge
next ledge
#

Sad… gotta do more damage and less speed heat then

reef zodiac
tepid plover
#

also, just because theyve done it, doesnt mean they can constantly do it

mortal vortex
#

hey guys, i FINALLY got ares to give me the war gods bloodlust prophecy after exactly my 100th run. i have about 15000 monsters killed but it didnt say i had completed the 10000 needed to fulfill the prophecy. do i need to get a new 10000?

tepid plover
#

theres no 15000 prophecy

#

so you got the 10k one

reef zodiac
tepid plover
#

ok, anyway yeah, do you currently have the prophecy listed as incomplete? @mortal vortex

mortal vortex
#

yes

#

despite haveing more than 10000

#

when i look at the pool

tepid plover
#

talk to ares again

mortal vortex
#

ok

#

ill try that and get back to you

tepid plover
#

it might not be complete right away if ares got other dialogues queued, give couple tries

mortal vortex
#

👍

#

i just had to talk to him a few times

#

so thank you

tepid plover
#

sweet

mortal vortex
#

one more thing

#

i have all of the olympians and persephone at the locked heart

#

how do i get the epiologue of the story to happen

tepid plover
#

you need maxed out relationship with them

#

gotta do their favor

#

6 of them i believe

#

not all

mortal vortex
#

oh ok

#

can i just look those up?

mint coral
#

All on the wiki

tepid plover
#

yeah, all of it should be in the wiki

mortal vortex
#

ok cool

mint coral
#

Also for the 6 gods, dem counts as one when reaching the lock

tepid plover
#

each character has the favor

mint coral
#

Cuz her favor is the epilogue

tepid plover
#

right

mortal vortex
#

do i have to give them ambrosia after

#

or just do the favor

mint coral
#

Yeah you need the bond

tepid plover
#

you need ambrosia to max them

mint coral
#

Aka the sticker

mortal vortex
#

ok

tepid plover
#

cant max them without ambrosia

mortal vortex
#

which 4 are the easiest to do

#

i already have dem and zeus

mint coral
#

Hermes is ez

runic jungle
#

Okay I legit think this game is messing with me.
I have been getting the same witches mini boss in the 2nd area for the past five runs I've done.
I am sick of them I miss the power couple so bad man

tepid plover
#

remembering all of them right now is a nono from me

mortal vortex
#

fair

mint coral
#

Pos/ares/athena

#

Arty is rng but it can be fast

tepid plover
#

id have to recheck the wiki to refresh my memory

mint coral
#

Don't bother with aphro if you haven't maxed even one of the romance candidates

tepid plover
#

i do remember pos being pretty easy

#

is fishing

mint coral
#

Dio might happen naturally, especially if you are doing dusa's bond

tepid plover
mint coral
#

Do you know the meg setup?
It makes them a lot easier when you destroy all their armor at once

runic jungle
tepid plover
#

if the witches circle is really giving you that much trouble, consider bringing any athena core boone

#

i still have no idea wtf is the meg setup xD, is it related to battie?

mint coral
#

Bow special is pretty nice at clearing projectiles

tepid plover
#

that explains why, shady for life

mint coral
#

You can line them up to hit all of them with Meg

tepid plover
#

i actually have zero recollection of me using anything but shady

#

i know i tried the others at least once, but i truly do not remember using them

runic jungle
tepid plover
#

slap athena on the special KekLEO

runic jungle
#

I swear on my next run imma scream if I get witches mini boss again lol

tepid plover
#

lmao

mint coral
#

Shady is hilarious but not having to play the miniboss is so good

tepid plover
#

i just like the healing

#

gold is also nice

#

night spindle basically pays for itself as well

hardy lantern
#

How many hours does it take to farm until the last rank

tepid plover
#

depends on how fast you can clear lol

hardy lantern
#

I am planning to get it but I am a bit discouraged by the sheer amount of darkness

tepid plover
#

but a while

#

it wasnt really meant to be completed, it was just something more for those who needed to dump resources

#

thats why the sheer amount of darkness

fervent radish
shrewd igloo
#

9 mins is doable..but 5 mins is brutal.

runic jungle
shrewd igloo
#

maybe typically, I reach the Satyr Temple at around 19-21 min mark

tepid plover
#

isnt impossible, but it does require you to be cautious with the build

#

cant just pick anything, you need a good dps

shrewd igloo
#

yep.. you gotta pick between Attack, Special or Cast. and build around it

tepid plover
#

just had a run where i was offered 1 hermes

#

second was the 500 in the styx shop which doesnt really count

fervent radish
tepid plover
#

yeah is def doable, is just tied to personal skill

fervent radish
#

I think with good build knowledge most people can get a sub 20 minute run

#

On any aspect

tepid plover
#

indeed

#

too much effort for my little brain

fervent radish
#

Nah, not at all

#

What aspect are you on

runic jungle
tepid plover
#

i just cant bother to quickly run to the door or pausing at exits

fervent radish
#

Probably build concerns

tepid plover
#

i like taking my time

fervent radish
#

Fair enough

tepid plover
#

that rush stresses me out

#

can i do it? absolutely.
do i want to? no

#

all my runs are sub36 and i still dont run td1 xD

#

i just hate knowing im on a timer

rustic vale
rustic vale
#

A) that’s nothing zany or unusual
B) you can totally clear sub20 with a dash focused build

#

and quite a few builds are split between attack/cast like achilles/hera/beo

#

I mean they overall focus on casting but easily incorporate and build their attack as a part of it

brisk trail
#

hey

#

the game's story progresses after you die in a run

#

is it a good viable thing to die on purpose repeatedly to progress the plot?

#

or is that bad and wastes time that could be used to get resources?

tepid plover
#

it will progress if you win too

#

dying isnt really necessary

#

it will just happen most of the time, especially early on

ruby pike
#

mfw i died just before killing the final boss

tepid plover
#

F

ruby pike
#

i think i kinda rushed it at temple of styx

#

got lucky and only needed 2 rooms to get past cerberus

shrewd igloo
#

plus getting a "+dmg to armor" hammer upgrade really speeds up your run.

fervent radish
rustic vale
#

ofc it depends on your mechanical skill atp but

#

builds aren’t everything

shrewd igloo
#

i guess. and maybe your luck at satyr temple. I always spend 10 mins on that area

rustic vale
tepid plover
#

lot of people use the speedrunning mod, which guarantees the sack at 2

rustic vale
#

not everyone though, and getting sub20 is definitely not something you ever need to know about speedpack for

tepid plover
#

yes, i did not say everyone

subtle needle
#

i dont know how people spend long in the satyr area when its so enclosed and risky, it feels like the last place i want to try and be all methodical in

rustic vale
#

It’s more of

#

It’s so enclosed how’s everything not dead already

subtle needle
#

you dash twice and 40% of the mash in rats dies on the spot

tepid plover
#

pos dash my beloved

shrewd igloo
#

idk man, the trap placement is kinda of malicious there. if you dash through a pressure plate, you almost always land in guillotine. and the enemies are quite tanky.

subtle needle
#

i find myself not trying to be cheeky with the traps and just moving around them as fast as normal

rustic vale
#

You get a feel for it & something needs to trip the traps for them to fall anyways

tepid plover
#

not to be dr obvious here, but perhaps avoid dashing thru the trigger then?

jagged hamlet
#

Is not terribly difficult to run every zone sub-5 so long as you know how to build and have some mechanical competency

rustic vale
#

Mfw when the traps are placed maliciously (they’re traps)

shrewd igloo
tepid plover
#

comes with knowledge, knowing where the traps are in each room

mint coral
#

Simply don't use HS dusa

tepid plover
#

they still hurt even without hs

#

so that aint it

mint coral
#

Also I can't hate styx traps cuz they make anthony in FF not take forever

shrewd igloo
#

i spent 2 defiance on a chamber (with the trap pact) once.. was not my best moment. lol

tepid plover
#

i dont run hs specifically cause of hades lmao

#

i always get hit by the damn vases

mint coral
#

Yeah pots aren't fun

tepid plover
#

that HE triggers with the lasers

mint coral
#

At least is faster stubborn procs in the rest of the game (cope)

tepid plover
#

2 forced gold rooms while cursed by chaos for no gold, game really hates me today xD

ruby pike
#

man i came to hades again but i never got a god call so im relying on chiron q spam

#

sometimes the rng in this game really hates me

tepid plover
#

yeah it be like that, refer to the message above yours xD

ruby pike
#

as does my pinky.

tepid plover
#

what do you use your pinky for

dusty charm
#

Am I missing something or is the darkness grind for security rank one of the most extreme grinds in any games?

tepid plover
dusty charm
#

I got everything finished. I got enough recourses for every rank apart from darkness at 300+ hours

tepid plover
#

is just something else you can aim for while you play the game, not a "i need to finish this now" type of thing

dusty charm
#

Well

#

I finished everything else

#

The only things I got left to do.
Blood for weapons levels.
Darkness fish

jagged hamlet
#

Did you find out who hired Skelly?

dusty charm
#

And darkness for security rank

#

Long time ago

#

Codex nearly complete apart from the last fishes. 32 heat runs. Every achivment, every song and the entire trader

#

and im at security rank 12. Gamma agent

west mist
#

burns through 8 death defiances on 32 heat
dies to 5 sack anyways

#

man i can't keep up with +40% overtime

#

old man reactions

tepid plover
#

Welcome to the club

subtle needle
#

8, is that 3 from pat, skelly and a bought one?

tepid plover
#

Add athena here and there I assume too

teal oracle
#

Started a new save file for h1 in honour of h2 and escaped on my 21st run 💪 new high score!!

tepid plover
mint coral
#

I mean it works for a reason lol

west mist
#

how much heat is lc4 again

mint coral
#

4

#

What even is your pact actually

west mist
#

CF2, JS3, EM4, BP2, MM, UC, FO1, DC2, TD2

mint coral
#

Em4 moment

west mist
#

lc4 would cover EM4 tbh

tepid plover
#

We love em4

mint coral
#

Was gonna ask, do you want em4 for the challenge or for the heat

tepid plover
#

Challenge

mint coral
#

If it's the latter just turn it off

tepid plover
#

I'd use em4 even if it gave no heat

mint coral
#

Yeah ik

#

Was asking exam

tepid plover
#

Love that thing

#

west mist
#

doing rama bow

mint coral
#

Like I asked
Do you want 32 em4 win or just a 32 win

west mist
#

32 win yeah

mint coral
#

Yeah turn em4 off lol

latent moon
#

use the guide

west mist
#

yeah i should...

dusty charm
#

i...I just lost to hades phase 1 at 0 heat.

mint coral
#

Also yeah, bananas's guide good

west mist
dusty charm
#

I havent done that in. god knows how many runes

west mist
#

i started h1 again this week

west mist
#

thank

west mist
#

turns out not playing for a year kinda suck

dusty charm
#

Can't even remamber when I last lost to him first phase 0 heat

#

I was not even doing a challange run or anything. BUild was not good but still. Brb gonna re consider all my life decisions that lead me here

misty fiber
#

Hades 1 feels so easy nowadays

dusty charm
#

And now. I feel like I might be the only person with a foil badge on steam

#

Got the hades card badge to lvl 6

I strongly dislike those hand things.
Especially when they have armor they be moving too fast for my liking >_>

What’s the best aspect for every weapon?

Which combo do you find to be the most fun or most OP?

rustic vale
old bluff
#

Btw for both speed and heat rail can go either way. Hestia and Eris are both stupid good at both speed and heat

mortal vortex
#

i cant get patrocles or achilles to talk about each other anymore

#

its the last acheivement i need

jagged hamlet
#

How 'bout that RNG, eh? Just need to keep talking since it sounds like you've met the prereqs

stoic summit
#

why is this serrated edge spear deadules hammer making my dash minus like 60% its supposed to be 25% no way this is 25 %

plain junco
#

that’s what I said when chaos decreased my dash distance by like 30% 😭

brisk trail
rustic vale
fervent radish
#

unless you have a shield

torpid geyser
#

Hey i just had a idea for aspect of nemesis, would athena special and ares attack work so you could have merciful end?

fervent radish
#

Since sword hits first and then dash

torpid geyser
fervent radish
#

Yeah ares attack, Athena special to unlock merciful end, and Athena dash to make it better

reef zodiac
#

Yeah that’s what I used for Nem 45

torpid geyser
#

I e never used sword before lol i got spear and cleared with that

stray solstice
#

do u guys know any mods or admins from the hades modding discord

torpid geyser
#

From using zagspear i got so used to my special being godawful

rustic vale

#

I asked discord support

#

They said I might be banned

It wasn’t working the last time I told someone to use that link

But I never joined it

stray solstice

I need to ask a mod or admin to help I guess

twilit shore
#

Does anyone know why that if your on phone and listening to music or any other audio it crashes the game

jagged hamlet
#

I don't, but I wanted to ask whether you've submitted a bug report

#

Didja? Didja?

twilit shore
#

Turning off the game volume

#

Or flicking this setting or that setting

#

Before I did

jagged hamlet
#

You're the first person to report it here in this channel since the Netflix release. Though I've not been keeping an eye on #h1-tech-support or #h1-tech-fixes, both of which I'd completely forgotten about until just now

Same, same ✋

Oh what the heck happened to my URL copy+paste

#

Fixed

faint ruin
#

Bah orpheus... Cant wait till ill nvr need to gift him anything again...

next ledge
latent moon
#

and idk if there's a thing for bug reporting in the game

tepid plover
#

Oh Oops, didn't read they were on mobile

faint ruin
#

Except for unknown last keepsake hes the last person i have to give nectar to

#

Kinda like dusa, she reminds me of well me when i was younger

next ledge
faint ruin
#

Wasted about 10 on bouldy... Before i realized he dont have an entry in the codex

next ledge
faint ruin
#

That is true, but would of preferred giving those nectars to other characters first. Want to mark things off the check list

#

So why dont you like dusa?

next ledge
next ledge
faint ruin
#

Guess yeah i did notice she required more ambrosia than other characters. But work hard, play hard

tepid plover

Pardon me for prioritizing lore

tepid plover
subtle needle
#

reconsidering going back to fo2 because fo0 feels off now, are there aspects other than arthur sword which have a very bad time at fo2?

latent moon
#

rama can be pretty difficult if you're not experienced on rama and fo2 together

#

but it's totally doable, just gotta get the hang of it

#

it's less of a problem on rama compared to arthur bc rama actually has damage to back up the slower charge

#

beowulf in asphodel can be a pain in the ass without charged shot

subtle needle
#

gotcha, i'm convinced

#

only played rama for the first time yesterday so it's not like i'm acclimated to fo0 with it yet luckily

west mist
#

died to hades because a trap went off next to me

#

last 50% too

funny, i even set a new best time

warm moss
#

i swear mid point asterius does not exist

west mist
#

why you looking ?

warm moss
#

fists

#

also i heavily prefer his fight to the butterfly ball

west mist
#

oh you want to unlock gilgamesh

warm moss
#

yep

yo guys quick question but what boon pairs well with aspect of Eris ?

paper wedge
#

Hypnos is my favorite character and I have to say I like his advice everytime I die

# dawn cave yo guys quick question but what boon pairs well with aspect of Eris ?

Lightning strike is a pretty straight forward pick for eris (and rail in general). Tidal dash is good damage by itself, but include the buff from eris and you have a menace of damage option. Aphrodite special adds more damage to those specials while openning smouldering air if you pick up zeus or dionysus call for yet more dps

#

with zeus strike you’re going to want static discharge from zeus for more dps, it’s really a massive boost but it’s hard to tell that it is without a dps meter installed

brisk zephyr
#

is there a prerequisite i need to do to reunite Achilles and Patroclus?

mint coral
#

Needs orpheus and Sisyphus quests done iirc?

brisk zephyr
#

that havent done because idk how to zageyes

mint coral
#

Keep talking basically

brisk zephyr
#

i bought the lyre a bajillion years ago and gave orpheus like 3 nectars idk what else i need

#

orpheus is always mid singing when i talk to him. That or not there at all and hes always like “im singing atm talk to me later”

rustic vale
#

The lyre needs 210 plays for you to learn how to play it but it’s not necessary for that part of the story

brisk zephyr
#

given im only allowed 10 minutes a day for me to play on my phone im screwed beyond belief

#

ill just spam the lyre for those 10 minutes ig-

timid vessel
#

is there any point in farming resources that arent darkness once i max out everything else?

tepid plover
#

you dont "farm" them anymore, just stockpile them

timid vessel
#

is the special trades for the wretched broker too slow?

tepid plover
#

i dont think i ever used broker

timid vessel
tepid plover
#

maybe a few titan blood, but thats it

timid vessel
#

or exchanging titan blood for darkness

#

or wasitng time fishing

tepid plover
#

if you need the gems then yeah do the trove

timid vessel
#

not at this point

#

ive done them all

tepid plover
#

then dont

timid vessel
#

but i didnt know if its worth it for special trade in the broker sometimes has for darkness

#

cause you swap titan blood for 500

tepid plover
#

eventually you gon need darkness for the ranks, but thats so irrelevant i just ignored it and bought whenever i could afford it

timid vessel
#

no im strictly farming for the ranks rn

#

got everything else

tepid plover
#

if you care about ranks then yeah focus on darkness

brisk zephyr
#

for some reason i have beaten the game twice with the twin fists and i still havent gotten aspect of gilgamesh and have had countless encounters with asterius using the fists and i still dont have it

rustic vale
rustic vale
#

That’s the extreme of bad dialogue rng

brisk zephyr
#

i mainly use the fists cuz its the easiet weapon aside from varatha for me to use on mobile so im just unlucky

#

Also does unhealthy fixation apply to all aphrodite boons that apply weak?

#

Cuz im tryna do like a chiron aspect aphrodite build with weak applying most of the dmg

dawn cave
rustic vale
#

I would hard push for lightning strike due to the straight damage and aoe it gives rail strike where hangover doesn’t really achieve the same results at all

#

unlike other fast hitting weapons, rail strike is almost a little too fast and a little too single target to make use of much else

dawn cave
#

hmm ig thats fair

#

but it pairs reallly well with aphrodite or Ares boons since its mostly a hugge damage increase

neat cedar
#

Hey kinda new around here but I already finished the main story
Any tips for beating high~ish heat (30-40)?

#

I don't have much technical knowledge of how the game works I'm just kinda balling atm

reef zodiac
mint coral
neat cedar
#

Right now I'm enjoying Zeus and Beowulf shields

#

As well as the cast bow

reef zodiac
#

Beowulf is my personal favorite

neat cedar
#

I can reach em4 hades with full revives but either I don't have the damage or the time to beat it

reef zodiac
neat cedar
#

Yeah but it's cool

reef zodiac
#

Beowulf has the easiest EM4 fight of any aspect tho

#

The best Beowulf builds are flood flare + deadly strike + mirage shot, or just passion flare

neat cedar
#

Sounds about right

#

Last time I got really close with Zeus using dyo special and aphro attack +the duo

reef zodiac
#

The best build for Zeus is Thunder flourish and static discharge

neat cedar
#

But I ran out of time since I wasted time setting up the build

fervent radish
reef zodiac
#

Yeah

neat cedar
#

Sounds right in theory but I couldn't get it to do that much damage

old bluff
#

And then look for ER

reef zodiac
old bluff
#

It’s has beaten 64 heat

reef zodiac
#

Damn

#

Shows what I know

neat cedar
#

I thought the Demeter special + frost explosion can be good

neat cedar
#

How does blocking work with circular attacks?

old bluff
#

Nah, you good pancake Zeus special build is a far more popular build and I believe a little stronger

neat cedar
#

They feel like kinda weird

#

Like asterius beyblade move

reef zodiac
neat cedar
#

Same for the dad spin? I just face the direction he started?

reef zodiac
#

Yeah

#

However, spear throw can pierce your shield since the attack will appear behind you

fervent radish
#

You need to block towards the center of the attack

#

Works for aoe circles in the Meg fight too

reef zodiac
neat cedar
reef zodiac
#

Block OP

fervent radish
#

99% sure

neat cedar
#

So it seems

old bluff
#

You can just about anything

neat cedar
#

I was just using it as a dash that deals damage mostly

old bluff
#

Except the stupid shield enemies in Ely

#

I hate those things

reef zodiac
#

Elysium enemies ron

neat cedar
#

Does the special speed boom affect the rpm of the Zeus shield?

reef zodiac
#

I believe it only affects the speed that you throw it out

#

So it’s basically useless

neat cedar
#

Yeah that's what I suspected

#

Sadge

reef zodiac
#

What weapon is special speed best on

#

Triple bomb Lucifer maybe?

old bluff
#

Chiron?

twilit shore
#

I just spent 20 keys on the mirror then came back and it was 15 keys for titan blood at the shop

neat cedar
#

I once got x5 rockets from an anvil on eris

#

And then a red aphro special

twilit shore
#

very sad day

neat cedar
#

So that maybe

twilit shore
#

also how do you get the last ares thing

old bluff
reef zodiac
# old bluff Chiron?

Does Chiron reach a level of speed/heat where it just becomes bad zag bow? Or is the special always worth using

fervent radish
neat cedar
#

I'm still surprised you don't take em4, it was the first thing I thought to add

old bluff
#

Em4 is really hard

fervent radish
#

Both Chiron and zagbow are at 60 with a special and attack build respectively

twilit shore
#

Engulfing vortex, how do you get that ares boon

fervent radish
#

Chiron is pretty much exclusively played like bad zagbow for speed

neat cedar
#

That 4 heat is nice though

old bluff
neat cedar
#

It's the difference between + 0 and 80 damage no?

fervent radish
#

I regret not taking em4 earlier though since I have to learn it now

old bluff
reef zodiac
fervent radish
#

🗿

fervent radish
reef zodiac
twilit shore
#

Also what hammer things are best for the shield

fervent radish
#

If you like the fight do it, but just be prepared to die

reef zodiac
fervent radish
#

Explosive return on Zeus

#

I personally prefer sudden rush on Beowulf heat to preserve the mobility but your preference

old bluff
reef zodiac
#

Beowulf handles EM4 better than many aspects handle regular Hades

reef zodiac
twilit shore
#

I’ve been using charged shot/explosive turn on Zeus shield

fervent radish
#

You don’t want cshot on Zeus shield

#

Unless you’re ignoring the special

twilit shore
reef zodiac
#

Bull rush iframes are very nice to have

fervent radish
#

But then you’re not triggering explosive return

#

Atleast for heat, it’s better to preserve mobility and crowd control afforded by normal bull rush

neat cedar
#

I thought for sure it's a must

twilit shore
#

I haven’t even finished the base game yet

#

(I have no idea what a heat is)

#

farthest ive gotten is the bull in Elysium

next ledge
tepid plover
#

is safe to assume is the miniboss yes

twilit shore
tepid plover
#

yeah the miniboss

twilit shore
#

then died to a trap…

#

My runs usually end with me on a spike trap or a witch kills me

fervent radish
tepid plover
#

yeah gotta get better at that

fervent radish
twilit shore
#

Last question probably

#

What boon (for special) is best in zues shield

fervent radish
#

Zeus

#

Look at 20:00 for what I kinda mean. That room is really bad with cshot

neat cedar
#

It's also not really harder than the second one

#

If anything it's p1 that's hard because of the adds

fervent radish
#

I thought you were talking about cshot

#

EM4 takes a lot of time so a lot of high heat runs time out there.

reef zodiac
#

I love 100 damage spear throws from off screen

fervent radish
#

Shield makes it safer but it’s still rough from stuff like Cerberus and more pots

#

You also can’t always see the lasers off screen

neat cedar
#

Oh also how big is the difference between white and blue boons?

old bluff
#

Depends on the boon

#

Something like doom is 50 to 75 while flood flare is 60 to 72

neat cedar
#

Mainly for dark foresight vs the other one whose name I forgot

old bluff
#

Oh, only ever use dark foresight

neat cedar
#

Huh

#

I'm using the other one since I still need the resources but I guess I can change it for runs above 20 heat

#

Speaking of, is the early speed bonus of family favorite worth the damage loss in the second half?

fervent radish
neat cedar
#

15% is quite a lot

fervent radish
#

Eh

#

Not really

#

Measly compared to other global boosts

neat cedar
#

So I guess the opportunity cost of taking boons with statuses can be worth more than the 15%

neat cedar
twilit shore
#

I love Zeus shield

fervent radish
#

If you know for certain you’ll get 2 curses you can take pstatus

fervent radish
twilit shore
#

I just sat in the corner blocking while my special shredded the fury on the first fight

fervent radish
#

Real

twilit shore
#

Definitely not the most efficient way

#

But it was funny

fervent radish
#

Zeus shines with a more active playstyle but yeah

vernal jungle
#

are there any tips for going faster

#

i can't pass the 15 minute mark

fervent radish
fervent radish
mint coral
fervent radish
#

Ngl I don’t know how damage is calculated

mint coral
#

pretty much everything is additive

neat cedar
fervent radish
#

Alr

#

I didn’t think pstatus was additive tbh

vernal jungle
#

idk my monkey brain sees 40% and goes bonkers

#

isn't family favorite 5% per boon

mint coral
#

crits/move speed/trap dmg/dmg reduction are multi

twilit shore
#

Also like what should I do with nectar once I’ve gotten all of the keepsakes that I can get

vernal jungle
#

keep giving them

old bluff
fervent radish
vernal jungle
#

you get to know the characters better

mint coral
vernal jungle
mint coral
#

you also get your boost from god 1

fervent radish
#

It’s not much worse

#

Or

#

Yeah 5% per god maxes out at 5

rustic vale
#

You also have it on every hit

fervent radish
#

So 25% is the used value

vernal jungle
#

so 15% always + 40% sometimes

fervent radish
#

No

mint coral
#

25%

#

4 gods + hermes

vernal jungle
#

why would you intentionally go for 25%

reef zodiac
vernal jungle
#

is that a thing people do

rustic vale
#

You aren’t dancing around gods and leaving your pool empty

mint coral
#

if you leave your pool empty you can find every god during the run

#

if you cap it you only find the ones you need/were forced into you

twilit shore
vernal jungle
#

you can romance 2 of them(4 technically, 2 are one-sided)

#

you can also start story sidequests revolving around the 3 special rooms

#

ones with the exclamation mark

fervent radish
vernal jungle
#

they give you nectar and cool items as reward

vernal jungle
twilit shore
vernal jungle
#

also for completion's sake

stoic summit
#

bro why am i so bad, i seriously cant beat 16 heat ghahha

vernal jungle
#

at the very least 20 nectar -> 1 titan blood so if you don't like story progression farm to that

void vigil
#

16 can be relatively easy but it always depends on what you choose to take

vernal jungle
mint coral
#

blaming the pact is always true

stoic summit
#

bruh i want that stupid second skelly statue

void vigil
#

it is tho, 32 is a huge jump in difficulty but 16 heat is still very very doable

reef zodiac
#

Shadow / Fiery presence and PState / FF are probably the most balanced things on the mirror where both sides have significant utility for similar challenges (unlike DDs / SD or Thick Skin / HC which do both see use but always for different purposes)

vernal jungle
#

i have not touched enemy health damage or healing after i did the achievement

mint coral
stoic summit
#

thats the only ones i up....

vernal jungle
mint coral
#

speaking of, what's your current pact @stoic summit

reef zodiac
#

There are some really bad conditions that will seriously mess you up lol

vernal jungle
#

i don't wanna torture myself by grinding out god mode for heat 32

reef zodiac
#

As long as you know which conditions to avoid, you can get creative for the rest of your pact imo

#

For the lower heats

vernal jungle
#

i got jumpscared by em4 a few times, i'm now grinding darkness and achievements

#

what are the things you wanna avoid?

#

the random enemy buff thing or stronger elites?

stoic summit
#

uh like max on hard labor, 1 on lasting consequences, 2 on jury summons, max on calisthenics program, middle management, 1 on forced overtime, heightened security

mint coral
#

enemy hp/disable mirror/trap dmg/less choices

#

oh bouldy

stoic summit
#

is that bad...?

vernal jungle
#

maxed hard labor holy

#

em3 is 6 heat for free

mint coral
#

start learning extreme measures yeah

stoic summit
#

how tf do you do extreme measures!

vernal jungle
#

em4 is actually pretty fun i have to turn on my brain for hades again

stoic summit
#

i see the stupid achievmewnt but idk where that stupid thing is

vernal jungle
#

i die to the dog too many times

stoic summit
#

or how to do it

#

and i notn there yet in the story?

mint coral
#

oh you don't have it unlocked yet?

vernal jungle
#

it's just buffed bosses

reef zodiac
vernal jungle
#

wait you have to unlock em?

mint coral
#

how many runs you have?

mint coral
#

you need to meet both of meg's sisters

stoic summit
#

wait no i have extreme measures

vernal jungle
#

it's 4 heat to learn a boss fight

mint coral
#

oh lol

stoic summit
#

ive beaten it with that but i didnt get the achievment

reef zodiac
stoic summit
#

do i need to max it actually?

twilit shore
#

I really need to pay more attention in the hydra fight

vernal jungle
stoic summit
#

i hate alecto oh my goodness

mint coral
twilit shore
#

I keep dying to just me being stupid

mint coral
#

aka buff up theseus fight

vernal jungle
#

half my screen is ads by the time she perma-rages

void vigil
#

i only beat EM4 once and i was satisfied. but i also never went past 32 and only really did a lot of 20 runs

vernal jungle
#

em3 difficulty is purely from the bull ngl

#

the chariot is a joke

twilit shore
#

Achilles won’t let me give him any more nectar

mint coral
reef zodiac
#

I definitely understand if you enjoy EM4 because it makes the final boss really feel hard on every run. I always do EM4 for my regular runs

mint coral
#

is built for 32 but the pact for 16 works well

#

tho idk what your times are

mint coral
#

they are prob way better once you turn off +enemies and +hp lol

vernal jungle
stoic summit
#

so what should i do just to beat 16 heat? should i just do extreme measures also and do both?

vernal jungle
#

runs up into my face and hits me for 40 twice

reef zodiac
mint coral
#

100 dmg spear to the face is pretty nice

vernal jungle
#

28 minutes is a lot of time

#

unless your build really blows

mint coral
reef zodiac
#

I love 105 damage right through my 200+° block

void vigil
#

with the power of rerolls and keepsakes, you can guarantee a good build most of the time

stoic summit
#

wait is there no 64 heat? or do i just not have it for some reason its only at 63

vernal jungle
#

i can go down to 15 minutes with arthur/nemesis

mint coral
#

hell mode exclusive pact

vernal jungle
#

just playing normally

stoic summit
#

oh fr fr

vernal jungle
#

why is it exclusive

mint coral
#

to make it "harder"

vernal jungle
#

does the 1 extra heat signify something

mint coral
#

(the pact is often free)

reef zodiac
#

Hell mode is worth using for like 40+ heat iirc

stoic summit
#

i recently saw that person beating 64 heat, mad impressive

reef zodiac
#

The bad part is the required JS1 CP1

mint coral
#

it disables the bubble that pops up if you take too much dmg quickly

vernal jungle
#

oh

mint coral
#

and yeah its main use is at 40+

#

cuz you are already gonna use js1/cp1 so might as well take the free heat

stoic summit
#

bruh i thought i was good at this game lol

vernal jungle
#

people beat 64 heat with guan yu

stoic summit
#

i mean ive barely played ik ik

reef zodiac
#

Yeah it’s absolutely insane

vernal jungle
#

you get 75 hp the whole game

reef zodiac
#

There’s a reason people almost never take RI1 alone

#

The first level taking DF is way worse than the second level

stoic summit
#

isnt that one shot?

#

or can be

vernal jungle
reef zodiac
#

So if you take RI1 you might as well take 2 for the full 4. RI1 for 2 is almost never worth it because of how insane DF is

stoic summit
#

wouldnt acorn be better then?

reef zodiac
#

Yes

rustic vale
vernal jungle
#

or the special

stoic summit
#

bruh dying is mad annoying because if your alive then you can theoretically win but then you die because you're bad

latent moon
reef zodiac
#

Angel used acorn for Ely and Styx in their 64

stoic summit
#

yeah thats the video i saw, didnt realize it was 9 months ago lol

rustic vale
#

The special is great up until the highest heats

vernal jungle
#

athena attack and just stand in the spin

rustic vale
#

Then you need the spin

vernal jungle
#

they made a hack-and-slash weapon into a javelin

stoic summit
#

they made a rushing shield into a frisbee

reef zodiac
stoic summit
#

spinning disk then lol

vernal jungle
#

guan yu's blade was massive

reef zodiac
#

No I mean

#

The special is borderline useless

stoic summit
#

angel mad used it

#

it seems good

vernal jungle
#

and i can't believe they just dropped the "mythical hero" theme for the gun and just went with the devil

vernal jungle
reef zodiac
#

I mean, you’d use it in speedruns or very high heat runs in some situations to save time

#

Ohh

stoic summit
vernal jungle
#

guan yu is mostly special spamming

reef zodiac
#

Wait you mean Zeus

#

I’m dumb

#

No Zeus special is insane

#

That’s my fault lmao

stoic summit
#

is it just me or when i re-roll boons i get like MAYBE one changes

reef zodiac
#

Are there only a few boons that god could offer you?

stoic summit
#

i dont think so, do certain boons go off limits?

vernal jungle
#

yes

stoic summit
#

...

vernal jungle
#

some boons are barred behind others

stoic summit
#

well yeah but thats like 4 or seomthing

vernal jungle
#

you can't get jolted without electric damage for example

stoic summit
#

gods have like 8 others

twilit shore
#

There is only one thing I wish the Athena attack boon did

reef zodiac
twilit shore
#

When you’re holding the shield to block I wish it could reflect the beams from the gem things

stoic summit
#

i try to change ares boons and i never get stupid curse of pain

vernal jungle
reef zodiac
#

In that case you may want to avoid opening his other boons before you get curse of pain

stoic summit
#

bruh like only one will change and its mad annoying i dont want your stupid no rarity aid ares!

reef zodiac
#

Sometimes it just takes a few runs before you get the build you wanted

#

Lmao

stoic summit
#

getting unlucky is the only thing im good at 😭

reef zodiac
#

Not to say that you don’t have a right to be annoyed by that

vernal jungle
#

ares aid is cringe

#

right

reef zodiac
#

Yes

vernal jungle
#

yeah figured

reef zodiac
#

But actually I had it in my highest heat clear so it must be the best call dusa

stoic summit
#

is dionysus's aid actually good? it seems trash every time i use it

reef zodiac
#

It’s one of the best calls, along with Zeus’s aid which I would probably prefer but idk which is better

stoic summit
#

oh dang

#

is Aphrodite's aid not good? it does mad damage

tepid plover
#

is good for spamming

reef zodiac
#

It does hardly anything in regular rooms

stoic summit
#

yeah true like the charm sucks and all but against hades

reef zodiac
stoic summit
#

maybe?...

reef zodiac
#

That would be the problem

stoic summit
#

whats the difference?

reef zodiac
#

The greater call is a waste

#

a lesser call gives a boss a full stack of hangover on its own

#

or an enemy

#

So a greater call is just using 4 bars for the effect of maybe 1.5

#

For most calls, you should not bother with greater calls

neat cedar
#

Oh is fiery presence even useful, on many weapons I feel like both it and backstab are useless

reef zodiac
#

Also, if you didn’t know, every single call gives you a couple of iframes right when you use it

reef zodiac
#

Hestia for example

vernal jungle
#

the greater call ones are for the single target stuff

#

aphrodite or artemis

#

demeter is also nice but demeter call is terrible from my experience

reef zodiac
neat cedar
#

But on stuff like Beowulf both seem useless

reef zodiac
#

Nah

#

Fiery is good

neat cedar
#

Why?

reef zodiac
#

Especially for speedruns

neat cedar
#

Isn't it extra damage against full health enemies?

reef zodiac
#

Adds an extra 60 damage to my charged shot

neat cedar
#

And you hit with the shield before the spell

#

So the bonus is wasted on a bad attack

reef zodiac
#

Or even just extra 38 on my rush is pretty good

neat cedar
#

I guess

reef zodiac
#

Or extra idr how much on my dash strike

#

saves precious time in Tartarus

#

To one shot an enemy instead of two shot

#

Literally half as many hits

neat cedar
#

Oh so it's a time saver in Tartarus

#

That's good enough of a reason

reef zodiac
#

Exactly

#

It still matters into Elysium with Hestia tho

#

113 extra damage per attack on undamaged enemies

ruby pike
#

brah

#

aspect of chiron run and i only get attack boons

#

im only in tartarus but fr

#

also only got bow for the last 3 chosen weapons

#

alr i got drunken flourish

#

hangover run time

fervent radish
neat cedar
fervent radish
neat cedar
#

yeah that's the plan

#

plus I can always switch to LC4 and the other revive

fervent radish
#

Oh I would automatically take that yeah

neat cedar
#

routine inspection sounds absolutely horrible

fervent radish
#

Just learn to play safer

neat cedar
#

I mostly take damage to bosses

fervent radish
neat cedar
#

I don't think I'll ever use it

fervent radish
#

1 is losing build control which you don’t need a whole lot of on Zeus

#

2 you mostly have to play safer in tart since no thick skin

#

3 is quite rough since you lose casts(no boiling blood) and either second dash or RR damage/dodge

#

4 you have to clear on one life

fervent radish
neat cedar
#

only dying to bosses

fervent radish
#

Fair enough

neat cedar
#

I often get past lernie hitless and only then start thinking about damage

fervent radish
#

I would use ruthless reflex and learn to play with monodash

neat cedar
#

for real??

fervent radish
#

50% dodge and damage is huge

#

Yeah
