if charon swims me swells up like one of those cheap dinosaurs you put in water

[mortal copper]

GKGKKDKD

[slender spruce]

question!

for Igneous Eden

is infinite ammo or faster ramp up better

[mint coral]

What's your third option

But I think either of them blocks the other so you have better triple bomb odds

[lavish sorrel]

triple bomb is the only luci hammer that matters, after all 😌

[slender spruce]

the 3rd one is the slow

on special

sounds bad

[mint coral]

Targeting system?

That's still more decent I think lol

[lavish sorrel]

targeting system is damage 😌

[mint coral]

Unless you really want triple bomb odds

[slender spruce]

30% seems weak

went for the faster ramp up

so far Igneous feels weak

[mint coral]

We are mentioning triple bomb for a reason

It kinda is its best hammer

[tepid plover]

^

[mint coral]

Also the thing about this is that is a global buff

So zeus effects or your dash for example are also buffed

Is kinda a lvl 2 eris

[lavish sorrel]

the buffed meg

[slender spruce]

I am yet to read what 3bomb does

[mint coral]

You can shoot 3 specials quickly

Max lvl luci would be 300 dmg for the explosions w/o boons

[slender spruce]

what does faster special do actually?

Hermes boon

should I get it for luci gun

[mint coral]

For rail is cooldown between shooting iirc

What are the other boons

[tepid plover]

yep, exactly what it sounds like, youre basically tripling the dmg of the special, as well as any sort of boon it has

[slender spruce]

bad boons

20%ms and buffs on call

[mint coral]

Ouch

[slender spruce]

I can reroll

if special cd is bad

2nd hermes

[mint coral]

What was your first

[slender spruce]

coin generator

side hustle

i'll just reroll

ah dammit

[mint coral]

I'd probably greed for +dashes but idk

Could just take whatever

Stupid data

[fervent radish]

This is one reason why it’s advised to not take calls before Hermes unless you want a Hermes call boon

[slender spruce]

didn;t knew that

but probably would've still went and grabbed Athena call early

[fervent radish]

I mean

Second wind is actually kinda nice to have for heat

[sleek cliff]

i meant nobody calls it static discharge

[fervent radish]

Alr

[brisk trail]

What is the worst boon in your opinion?

[fervent radish]

Peer pressure

Maybe the aphro/demeter duo

Unbuffed crystal beam

Hold on

Anything in D is pretty bad

[jagged hamlet]

I can barely read the table at 100% size, but boy what a table

[reef zodiac]

Fully loaded in D is something

I mean sure, you may never see it, but it isn’t BAD

[jagged hamlet]

Nooo, not dear Fully Loaded!

[reef zodiac]

Idk why I looked at D tier first

There’s a lot of questionable things

[jagged hamlet]

Probably because Dragonappendix mentioned D

[reef zodiac]

Yeah

Who puts battle rage in S

[fervent radish]

Hestia players

[fervent radish]

Prereqs are all pommable

[reef zodiac]

Wait billowing strength, greatest reflex, pressure points in C…

Is this an aspect of Hestia tier list wtf

[fervent radish]

Nah just my tier list

[reef zodiac]

I guess

[fervent radish]

Billowing strength is ok but everything else from Zeus is just more preferable

PP sucks without HM

[reef zodiac]

It’s alright

It’s the ideal Arty boon if you don’t want her cores

There’s literally not another boon I hope to see over it

[tepid plover]

Stubborn roots

[reef zodiac]

So I would certainly put it higher personally

[reef zodiac]

Peer pressure

[fervent radish]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1217110989242241094/1240483130859720744/image.png?ex=6661c031&is=66606eb1&hm=029643e49396d1420e04aa3a7fbc6558bb24402629d08605d1bc3b36c17fbc25&

Pressure points being pommable nearly ruined this run

[tepid plover]

In my personal tierlist stubborn roots is all the way down

[reef zodiac]

I also play ideally below 50 heat, and if I go above 50 it’s with Beo and not by much

And I’ll run AP0 whenever possible

[mortal copper]

Honestly the boons depend on what heat you’re playing, and how far you are in the game

[mint coral]

peer pressure is just really bad yeah

[reef zodiac]

It doesn’t actively hurt you

[mortal copper]

Like Poseidon’s resource boons are okay when you’re an early player, but go straight down to the worst boons ever once you have all your resources

[fervent radish]

It’s ok

Oceans bounty is sellable

Not pommable

Wait I think it’s sellable

Anyways it reduces the chance of getting Poseidon cores which can be annoying sometimes

[tepid plover]

Hurts my soul

[reef zodiac]

Except Ocean’s Bounty became the best Poseidon boon I could get when I was playing AP2 Beowulf

Lmao

[mortal copper]

Hmm true, I’m mostly talking about Sunken Treasure

One time I picked that just to fulfill the prophecy and it gave me like a measly 5 gems

[reef zodiac]

I mean it still isn’t useful but it has a chance to do slightly more than any of his other boons

[mint coral]

money is money (at least doesn't mess with poms)

[reef zodiac]

In that situation

AP2 Beo is horrible, do not try it

[mint coral]

smth smth lvl 7 dem attack

[reef zodiac]

Whether you leave Tartarus with an 80 damage cast or a 200+ damage cast is just a series of coin flips

[fervent radish]

It’s ok

[reef zodiac]

If I ever go back to 55 Beo, I will do RI2 AP1, I do not know what I was thinking

[fervent radish]

Just don’t take other boons

[reef zodiac]

I’ll be sure to bring fated authority

[sleek cliff]

wdym 450 gold is op

[sleek cliff]

flood beo on ap2 is crazy 😭😭

[reef zodiac]

Wym

I started passion flare

And I didn’t want to see Poseidon

Because literally the best thing he had to offer me was Ocean’s Bounty

[tepid plover]

I'd rather have something I don't need to sell

[sleek cliff]

ohhh

nvm

ap2 beo is so bad

[reef zodiac]

AP2 is so bad

[sleek cliff]

it should not be that hard to get 1/3 dem boons, 2 of which are literally cores

[real night]

i love it when i make literally the slowest catch i can without losing the fish and i still get a scuffer

[tepid plover]

is that supposed to be bad?

scuffer is the rare one

[dull elbow]

Hades 2 release iss killing me , just a quick showerthought, did the pandemic ever hinder the progress/production of Hades considering the 1.0 version was released quite late into 2020?

[jagged hamlet]

Per the documentary, it did! SGG even had a little break-in at their studio

[dull elbow]

Damn where can I read/watch this documentary? Did they managed to do everything they wanted to do?

[bright harbor]

Hi

So question, been playing for like a week or two -50ish runs and done with the main story(20+ escapes), my question is if thats the norm cause i have seen so much about people not having a single escape even after 100s of attempts and youtube guides like "how to get ur first escape"

[tepid plover]

There's no "norm". Each person progresses at their pace

Not right or wrong

[mint coral]

For the average I guess is faster lol

[fervent radish]

i've seen someone escape at run 4/5

[mint coral]

I mainly see around 30-50 for first attempts?

[fervent radish]

and i've seen over 100 attempts without an escape

[tepid plover]

Did they ever release any sort of numbers

[fervent radish]

so there's a huge range. in my eyes, what matters is what you do after that first clear

[fervent radish]

i imagine not, since all of that data is stored locally

[mint coral]

Is just vibes (nah)

32h clear rates sounds interesting tho

[dusty charm]

Does Billowing strength buff the damage of calls like artims and aphro?

[tepid plover]

Cloud saves exists so there's a cloud with info

[mint coral]

Yes

If the buff says "do more dmg" it buffs everything from zag

Same for "enemies take more dmg" and that includes stuff like traps

[dusty charm]

yea was wondering cause "after using your call"

So did not know if it counted the calls damage

[tepid plover]

Not the triggering call I think

But the next if within time

[dusty charm]

Well some calls deals their damage after you activating it, which is what im wondering about

[rustic vale]

Dionysus definitely, zeus probably

Aphrodite is easy to check

Easy aside from needing 100% call gauge

[dusty charm]

Artimes?

[rustic vale]

No clue

It’d be easier than aphrdite what am I on

You just pop a 20% one and watch the damage

make sure you account for any other global additive

[dusty charm]

I see

Oh well back to the Darkness grind.

[rustic vale]

Tbh though

[dusty charm]

I see you all in 4 years when i got the last security rank

[rustic vale]

It doesn’t really matter aside from zeus and dio bc the other ones aren’t getting anywhere near as much value

[dusty charm]

Artmies call is one of the biggest nuke damage tho?

[rustic vale]

that’s the issue

“Nuke”

Zeus and dionysus far out perform it and are consistent damage over your fight

[dusty charm]

Really?

I awlays find Arti burst damage to be better. Unless im doing specific builds or higher heat runs

[rustic vale]

You get great value in regular rooms, you have less investment if you pop them and hit a bosses break points

Pretty sure you literally get better damage overall from 4 zeus/dio mini calls aside from that

[dusty charm]

I hold it till the firs shield drops of a boss fight. Then I pretty much skip a phase.

[rustic vale]

being able to use your calls in regular rooms, you aren’t reliant on needing 100% charge for that damage, and you can get value from smouldering air

[twin thistle]

Kinda pointless when you can deal with each phase in 5 seconds with zeus call

[rustic vale]

holding onto that charge for extended periods of time is wasted charge gain that zeus and dio wouldn’t have

[dusty charm]

And to be clear. I get other calls might be better for heat runs. Im mostly doing no heat and rush through to grind darkness.

[rustic vale]

yeah

Exactly

It’s faster

[twin thistle]

In that case zeus call is defo better

[rustic vale]

You can get great value in every single room instead of only getting value in bosses

and the value you get in bosses is just higher

[dusty charm]

...Okay No swearing..

Honestly I really only build for Darkness with posidon and chaos. I never really use calls in rooms as I just rush through them anyway without much problem (Apart from specific times were I goofed up and played badly) Otherwise I just builda round Hades

[rustic vale]

Yeah but the calls add to how fastbyou clear rooms

[dusty charm]

Yea that is fair

But often I started to just rush in brain off. get to the end

[rustic vale]

There’s only one real boon to nab from poseidon

I guess 2 if you count exclusive access

[dusty charm]

Two*

[rustic vale]

Nope

[dusty charm]

x% more from darkness and ocean bounty

[latent moon]

the % more from darkness is oceans bounty isnt it lmao

[dusty charm]

.. You might be correct

[rustic vale]

Oceans bounty is what matters

[latent moon]

sunken treasure is the random assortment one lmao

[dusty charm]

The one which increased how much darkness. And the one that just drops resourcers.

[fervent radish]

zeus/dio call are good bc you can basically spam it on cooldown

[rustic vale]

Sunken treasure is a bad boon

[dusty charm]

Not for me

[twin thistle]

Sunken isnt a lot

[latent moon]

i'd roll over sunken treasure to get ocean's bounty or the duo

[dusty charm]

Cause I ony care about Darkness.

[dusty charm]

Oh I do. But i still go for sunken as well.

[rustic vale]

you don’t want to focus on taking it because taking boons for your build will enable you to clear faster, and what you really want is more darkness over time

so you get +% darkness boons but not sunken treasure

[dusty charm]

Eh im not that concerned about speed.

I consistently do sub 20's anyway

[twin thistle]

Speed is how you get more darkness

[latent moon]

i mean chances are you're starting with poseidon at the start of the run anyways so you'd already ideally have tidal dash

[fervent radish]

biggest darkness gain is from bosses and any boons except high rarity chaos darkness boons that you take to get marginal amounts of darkness will hinder your overall darkness gain

[jagged hamlet]

You could easily halve your clear times 👀

[rustic vale]

The minimal darkness gains are not worth the potentially huge speed gains from getting a good build in order

[dusty charm]

Yes but that is assuming I spam many games every day

I do 3 games now and then. Cause ADHD

[fervent radish]

not rly

the darkness you get is the same regardless, and you're less likely to die/can fit more runs into a session if you have a good build you can go faster with

[dusty charm]

Im aware. Not trying to speed run.

[rustic vale]

Your overall darkness gained is going to be nearly identical thanks to how low the darkness gains from treasure are

[dusty charm]

Yea but its a small edge that builds up

and again im nto to concerned with fast clears here.

[rustic vale]

~

[jagged hamlet]

I'm saying you can halve your run times even without being overly concerned with fast clears

[dusty charm]

I mean, I already am talking here while afk.

I mean I know, I get what you guys saying. I know about tons of ways I could improve it.

[rustic vale]

You’d end up with more time to do whatever else your adhd wants to do

[dusty charm]

THis is more about how I as a person approch the game. I rather try to maximize darkness per run.

[fervent radish]

i'm gonna say that your goals are your goals, but having a mindless grind is going to be harder to stay focused on than having some more tangible goal like speedrunning or heat

Just my input as someone who would get bored of a darkness grind really quickly

[rustic vale]

real

[dusty charm]

Oh I do speedruns and heat runs to.

And sometimes I only do darkness runs. Like right now

[fervent radish]

(join hades speedrunning)

[dusty charm]

Best run is sub 14

[rustic vale]

and tbh putting a decent build together doesn’t have to sacrifice the darkness gain

[fervent radish]

nice

[rustic vale]

If you’ve got somehing cohesive in mind

[dusty charm]

But I am cursed. Whenever I am recording, I get awful RNG and dreadful runs. When I am not recording and doing practice runs for speed

yea okay what if I just got everything just perfect

[fervent radish]

the solution is to always be recording

[dusty charm]

One day ill post on speedruns.com

[rustic vale]

You don’t need everything just perfect to put a decent build together

[fervent radish]

also you might be aiming for too many boons. the best builds don't need that much

[rustic vale]

that’s the idea

[dusty charm]

yea I need to imrpove my speed builds when doing that.

[rustic vale]

my darkness runs quickly transformed into a lot of hangover builds as I aimed at getting exclusive access early to guarantee purple eclipses from chaos

[white scaffold]

yo question, I just saw hades had a download on steam, what got updated

[fervent radish]

hades 2?

[dusty charm]

My darkness runs are usualy. "Im bored, im extremly tired from work and cant be bothered to do anything else. So lets get 3 runs in"

[rustic vale]

Hades update? For the first time in years? No shot

[rustic vale]

Fair enough

[fervent radish]

they added a new weapon

[white scaffold]

hades 1, it's why I got in here lol

[jagged hamlet]

Crypt of the Necrodancer got an update after years and years. Why not Hades 👀

[fervent radish]

just making sure, lots of people end up here talking about hades 2

[tepid plover]

cause

[rustic vale]

They added Melinoe

[fervent radish]

you can now play as the hollow knight

[twin thistle]

We now have hex start in h1

[rustic vale]

Risk of rain Hades crossover

[fervent radish]

they removed calls

[rustic vale]

they fixed mirageshot beo

[tepid plover]

silksong x hades

[latent moon]

there goes half the leaderboard 😔

[dusty charm]

Yea. I know I could improve my darkness grind. But eh. Ill get there when I get there. I mean ive been doing it on and off for over a year

Eventually..

[fervent radish]

they removed chiron and replaced it with an aspect that loads your cast into your attack

[rustic vale]

@hadesdevs when is the risk of rain 2 crossover

[fervent radish]

what are you at rn

[dusty charm]

I just need to do Securiuty ranks..and those damm chaos fishes.. and we got he pure 100%

[rustic vale]

Update Hades with Jonesy from fortnite after they added Hades to fortnite

[dusty charm]

Darkness: 2370
Security rank: Delta Agent

[rustic vale]

Oh

You’re so far

[fervent radish]

oof

[dusty charm]

I saved up darkness while grinding all the other rescources. When I finally had all of them I spamm bought Security ranks

aand did not even get half way

[rustic vale]

It takes 325k darkness total

[fervent radish]

yeah it's a really big grind

[dusty charm]

There is nothing else left for me to do

Well those dammed chaos fishes..

[rustic vale]

I think I’m exactly 15 off?

[latent moon]

speedrun and high heat lmao

the fun stuff :)

[rustic vale]

64 heat clear where

[dusty charm]

SPeedruns are every now and then when my ego is good

My best heat was 34 for the statue

Or was it 32..

[rustic vale]

32 is the highest stature

[latent moon]

32 is the statue lmao

yea

[latent moon]

doable

[rustic vale]

Have you completed your pokedex yet?

[dusty charm]

How many has beaten 64 now?

[dusty charm]

Come again

[latent moon]

unmodded, 2

modded like 8 or something

[rustic vale]

Y’know that thing that updates everytime you catch a new enemy

[dusty charm]

Oh the codex? yea the only thing I got left is 2 fishes I havent found. Everything else is done

[fervent radish]

yeah i would pick some other goal to focus on and just let the darkness pile up

[dusty charm]

Yea

there is none left

[fervent radish]

as you get faster, darkness gain will increase

[dusty charm]

I did them all

[twin thistle]

just do the 40/50 heat grind

[latent moon]

easy

[dusty charm]

https://prnt.sc/e8ZVsT8cYdmF suffering

[rustic vale]

oh y’know what

the

[dusty charm]

I havent done a zero damage run yet..

[rustic vale]

You could rng manipulate chaos fish

[dusty charm]

Oh I know

[rustic vale]

if you want it that badly

[dusty charm]

But heres the thing

I am really stupid

[rustic vale]

And that’s the most easy thing for your darkness grind

[dusty charm]

[latent moon]

that's fairly difficult lmao

[rustic vale]

Bc a voidskate is like 500 darkness right there

[dusty charm]

All these years. And now the last fish been spoiled.

Its so over

[rustic vale]

My bad

I meant like

Scyllascion

Fr

Trust

[dusty charm]

Also

I had the posidon boon for more fishes

But kept forgetting to go to chaos

Let me repeat my self

[dusty charm]

This

[rustic vale]

Homie

Chaos is the most useful thing for your darkness farming runs

[dusty charm]

I know

[tepid plover]

and pos

[rustic vale]

Even if you don’t get darkness boosts you’ll get damage boosts

[dusty charm]

After that run I just looked in the mirror

[rustic vale]

Unrelated we already talked a out him

and you can’t get multiple oceans bounties

[tepid plover]

just jopined, oops

[rustic vale]

You can get multiple eclipses

[rustic vale]

Fair enough

[dusty charm]

What comes first

Lst security rank for me or hades 2 1.0

it is gonna be hades 2

[rustic vale]

idk

I just remembered another speed thin

That doesn’t require you to do

anything with your build

[dusty charm]

The heat set up?

[rustic vale]

Yeah you probably have it

Em2 fo2 td1

[dusty charm]

Dont remember it on top of my head as it has been a while

But I do remember when I comapred my bets run to speedrun.com

[rustic vale]

Td1 is an rta thing rather than igt you might not have it

[dusty charm]

I think I would have had place 14 or so

[fervent radish]

huh

[latent moon]

if you think it's gonna take you like 6 months then maybe lmao

[rustic vale]

Wasn’t your top run sub14?

[dusty charm]

Tho it was specifically for that aspect and not the over all best runs but sshhh let me have my ego boost

[rustic vale]

There are a lot of sub5 clears

a lot

[fervent radish]

ah fair enough

which aspect

[latent moon]

arent there like

[dusty charm]

I cant recall..

[latent moon]

20 total maybe

[rustic vale]

yeah

[latent moon]

is that a lot lmao

[rustic vale]

20 is a lot

[dusty charm]

Think it was one of the sword once

[latent moon]

arthur bc no ones speedruns it

[fervent radish]

arthur?

[rustic vale]

poseidon or zag or arthur

probablt

Arthurr

[dusty charm]

also I noticed that the in game run trackers are scuffed..

as I wont see my best run at some places. But others it will.

[rustic vale]

The in game trackers work very specifically

and most categories use them

A few categories track real life time insread and those are often significantly higher

[dusty charm]

Oh yea might be why

[latent moon]

yeah most of my speedruns are always like 20 mins rta even tho the runs are like sub9

[dusty charm]

Fastest run is 13:30 zag aspect sword

Okay light shot decided to not work. But it put me at place 17 on speedrun.com for THAT SPECIFIC aspect

[fervent radish]

makes sense

[rustic vale]

Makes sense nobody runs it

[twin thistle]

it cant be that unused

[dusty charm]

delete

[rustic vale]

Depebds on the category

I wonder if most zag runners run modded or not

[fervent radish]

it actually is

unmodded unseeded

14 minutes places at 17th

[latent moon]

i mean zag sword is another ME aspect so no one really wants to run that lmao

[rustic vale]

Not to dash your hopes or anything but everyone who would run zag sword just runs nemesis instead

[latent moon]

and no one wants to reset for rd and hammer for plume

[fervent radish]

for comparison, my eris time is 46th

[twin thistle]

Or maybe it actually is

[fervent radish]

yeah it is

[dusty charm]

I mean. Doing all swords aspect

least would still put me in top 160

[rustic vale]

Are you still looking at unmodded

[dusty charm]

yea

Comparing with Zag sword and nemesis. I would be 97

Huh

[rustic vale]

And it’s not like every speedrunner is posting every run

[twin thistle]

Yo my random 36 heat 5 sack zag spear run is 15th place for anyheat https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/725021639506526249/1236789012723929088/Hades_176.png?ex=66617ec7&is=66602d47&hm=56a3727f0710126c122e9627466a98daf5e07038d3fe4c360378178198c6b3aa&

[dusty charm]

Comparing my zag run with nemisis I would be 79

and to be clear. I am assuming people post their best runs on speedruns.com. So im comapring to that. And I do relize a lot of people might have gotten better runs that they dont post. Either cause I did not know how fast it was, or care about postin gon there.

[rustic vale]

Guys why is speedrun.com do unoptimised

[devout terrace]

the site sucks

[dusty charm]

However. I am a egocentric boi and enjoy jerking my own ego.

[rustic vale]

I know it sucks but who decided to never fix it

[dusty charm]

So I will take what I can and assume the best option for me

[devout terrace]

can we go back to SDA

on god

[dusty charm]

[devout terrace]

gods even

[devout terrace]

i used to care about that a lot

you prolly werent around for this but the leaderboards used to be ranking every individual person

not every individual run

the current system is really demotivating imo

[rustic vale]

yikes

[devout terrace]

but it was forced because of site changes

not our choice

[dusty charm]

Yo, your the person who beat 64 heat

[rustic vale]

Angel kinda crazy with it

Holy I just want to check zagbows 40 hest clears could

Could speedrun.com load any slowrr

[devout terrace]

ever heard of the boon exclusive access

[twin thistle]

Literally only 3 unmodded submissions

[rustic vale]

No

[devout terrace]

i literally had to fill out zag sword and pos sword back in the day

[dusty charm]

With all respect a you deserve it. But whats with trans woman being gods at games. Keep finding you girls being on top in different games

[devout terrace]

because no one bothered to play something that boring

[rustic vale]

I wonder how many top10 speedruns for their respective aspect include a bathroom break

Given it’s igt

[devout terrace]

really not sure why its so common

[dusty charm]

At one point the worlds best Kata player in LoL was a trans woman as well friend of mine

Well you would need to ocmplete the run to

[rustic vale]

Guys it’s time for me to sub 7 on 40 heat zah bow

[dusty charm]

I belive in you

I do not belive in him

[rustic vale]

my best zag bow run is sub10

[dusty charm]

I can not speed run the bow

brain no allow

[twin thistle]

Skill and a lotta chaos and skips and not having to do c34

[rustic vale]

I just need to be 30% faster while accounting added heat

ez

For sure.

It definitely didn’t take me a lot of hours just to get my sub10

[dusty charm]

I want to do a run. were I lower my HP as much as possible.

[rustic vale]

just run guan-yu at level 1

[dusty charm]

Saddly I maxxed it ages ago

[devout terrace]

latt is famous for grinding zag bow

in pretty much every difficulty category

Everyone here with their high heat

and im here with god mode, no heat spamming runs without even thinking.

[rustic vale]

The higher heat is just one aspect of that screenshot

[dusty charm]

I really dont have the patience for heat runs anymore

I got my statue im out

[rustic vale]

That build was so cursed

[latent moon]

speedrun high heat

[rustic vale]

Zeus zag bow

[twin thistle]

Just get to a point where you just do 32+ by default because you dont die anyways

[rustic vale]

Just run hl32

[dusty charm]

Im not skilled enough for actively doing above 20 heats

Also no reason for me to do it as it dont give more darkness.

[rustic vale]

Tbh at your goal anything more than 10 heat is unnecessary difficulty and anytjing lower is just slower

[dusty charm]

Yea

I do wish there was other things I could work towards while I grind

[rustic vale]

speed and heat

[dusty charm]

I do speed and heat now and then. But then I am dedicating runs to it.

[rustic vale]

It’s still darkness at the same time

[dusty charm]

Yea

I do it now and then to break up the patterns

Actually there might be one other thing left.

[rustic vale]

could work towards taking off the godmode? Idk

[devout terrace]

50 heat speed my beloved

[dusty charm]

Ive been starting to get new lines for Achiles and his bf

[latent moon]

i haven't done 50 heat speed before lmao every time i try on beo i just die

on like normal 50 heats

[dusty charm]

Oh I can play without it. I am just putting it on so I dont run the risk of losing a run and missing out on hades darkness

[rustic vale]

~ ig

As someone who regularly plays heat, no heat leaves you unreasonably tanky

[dusty charm]

Your right

but like I aid. I often play when im barely alive after work.

[rustic vale]

Fair

[dusty charm]

I dont have energy to think. I press button and numbers happens

Tho admittedly. As ive done so many brain off god mode runs

Ive gotten worse at the game

[glossy lynx]

So I'm on the cusp of 100% completion. All that's left is the Keepsake achievement.

... Does the bot always do that?

[rustic vale]

It’s semiregularly

Tries to keep it at the bottom of chat so the hades 2 players see it and stay where they’re supposed to

[glossy lynx]

Ahhh, I see.

Feels like I've triggered that with every post I've made here.

[dusty charm]

But I will however be a complete egocentric and say that I might be the only person to have this

So long as you don't make any sudden moves, you've nothing to fear from StickyBot. Do not sneeze

[devout terrace]

skill issue

its the best category

[latent moon]

True skill issue

Lately I've been messing around with ri bc I thought it'd be funny

I'll do 50 heat speed next time I play

[glossy lynx]

I'm not attempting higher than 32

[mint coral]

that's what we all said

[jagged hamlet]

There is no escape

[latent moon]

I went past 32 bc after speedrunning so long I found 32 to be too easy

[dusty charm]

I escaped the high heat runs

[latent moon]

And so was 40 so I did 50 lmao

[dusty charm]

Its better

Its mentally happier

And then I went and ruined that by playing LoL

[devout terrace]

based

[rustic vale]

I went to my switch to play Hades and came across my pokemon sword game where I’m grinding out a modest toxel

Guys it’s only 1/25 chance how long can it take

I was gonna say (but I triggered the swearing filter), that I had two reactions, separated by 15 seconds.

The first, was to say "oh hey, trans pride flag PFP, based".
The second was "oh wait, that's the chick who did 64 Heat!"

[devout terrace]

hahaha

[mint coral]

Angel's pfp is really good

[rustic vale]

I was about to say something about what a really good pfp would be then remembered mine

[jagged hamlet]

I'm just a humble squirrel with an apple, I am

[brisk trail]

I like Skelly’s voice

And Dusa’s

[jagged hamlet]

Boyo.

[plain junco]

is snow burst good w aspect of hera

[jagged hamlet]

Yes. Very

[plain junco]

or do you have to replace it with other casts

okay ty

[reef zodiac]

It isn’t a cast boon

You can still use another cast (crush shot)

[brisk trail]

Is ambrosia supposed to be like honey?

It’s like nectar right?

I never ate any

[plain junco]

okay so should I go concentrated volley, pb shot or explosive shot

w Hera

[plain junco]

yeah

[jagged hamlet]

Take Point-Blank

Or Peanut Butter. Whichever's relevant

[brisk trail]

Mmmmmm peanut butter

Will go perfectly with my embrosia

[regal epoch]

What are the requirements for the second ending

[rustic vale]

6 olympians locked heartsp

[regal epoch]

How do you get that much Ambrosia?

[rustic vale]

By just doing runs? It’s also only like 6 ambrosia

[regal epoch]

Oh ok

[rustic vale]

and you don’t need them gifted with ambrosia

[regal epoch]

Ohhhhhh

[rustic vale]

you just need to complete the fsvours

Either way it’s not a lot of ambrosia

[twin thistle]

You can get at least 1 ambrosia every run by upping the heat

[regal epoch]

BC I need the Ambrosia for than and cerebus

[regal epoch]

I know

I've got 4 Ambrosia so far

[queen monolith]

are these kinds of commisions essential for progress? like for the chaos quest in this case?
https://ibb.co/Pmc2cTw

[next ledge]

No, that’s the chaos “theme”, talk with them more to unlock the actual progression

[jagged hamlet]

It's cosmetic

[queen monolith]

Ok thx

[queen monolith]

All I know is that I asked nyx to unlock the commission and that it costs a lot of darkness and then this thing appeared as new option xD

[stoic summit]

what is that thing that shows time split for each section? is that a mod?

[jagged hamlet]

Yes

Speedrun Modpack, as it turns out

[stoic summit]

is getting mods difficult

[jagged hamlet]

Dunno, not having tried it myself, but I've heard that it's not terribly difficult

[stoic summit]

ive gotten mods for a few other games so im not completely clueless but games are different and i forget easy

[brisk trail]

Day 1 of waiting for family guy to make a Hades reference

[old bluff]

Getting mods for Hades it pretty easy, Jawlesspaul has a video on youtube on how to do it

[regal epoch]

How do you get the titan blood to max out every aspect

How do you get that much?

[woeful spruce]

anyone can help me out with nyx locked heart? ||ive done the whole convo between nyx and chaos but im suppose to buy an item from contractor but theres no item to be bought? nyx hasnt given me any new dialogue for atleast 10 runs already same with chaos|| what am i missing?

[latent moon]

completing bounties

[regal epoch]

?

[latent moon]

you need to go into the administrative chamber and do a thing if you haven't already

[latent moon]

have you cleared once yet

[regal epoch]

I've got to the credits

[latent moon]

before you clear you're prompted with the pact of punishment

[rustic vale]

If you do 0-20 heat with every weapon you’ll get 252/30x blood needed

[latent moon]

you have to keep beating the previous heat difficulty to get bounties

[twin thistle]

Same way you get ambrosia

[latent moon]

oh bruh lmfao

[rustic vale]

The rest come from prophecies, trading and fishing

[regal epoch]

Ok

Ohhhhhh

I've had it maxed out on one heat

[regal epoch]

What fish?

And wdym trading

[rustic vale]

Trade broker in the lounge

[regal epoch]

Oh yea

[brisk trail]

Love that you can trade

Traded in my kid for some titan blood

[rustic vale]

The only issue is that trade broker doesn’t let me sell everything for darkness

[brisk trail]

Hades: “Darkness”

[queen monolith]

after hours i realized that i probably couldnt finish all aegis hammers because i only use the zeus variant. can the beowolf variant get the remaining hammers that zeus variant cant get? i supposed they are related to shield throws.

so i can try to get 2 fates in one

[fervent radish]

Any of the other aspects should be able to yeah

(But also based Zeus shield user)

[rustic vale]

I think chaos missed charged

[fervent radish]

Oh good point

I’ve never played chaos special that much so I wouldn’t know

[rustic vale]

And anyways beo is a stronger charged flight user 💀

[fervent radish]

Yeah

Realistically you shouldn’t be using the special on a shield that isn’t Zeus

[queen monolith]

zeus just hits so hard when you get the positioning right

its one of the easiest runs

[fervent radish]

Real

You should up the heat

One of the most ideal aspects for pushing heat

[obsidian drum]

You can use Chaos if you want to hear his sassy mouth lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyPBQPEwinc

[stoic summit]

so....32 heat run, should be easy right?

[rich fjord]

What is the base chance to get a duo or legendsry

[old bluff]

12%

[rich fjord]

Man

[twin thistle]

Its per slot btw. If you have all your cores filled and arent offered a replacement its 12% rolled 3 times

So more like 32%

[fervent radish]

Yeah

[twin thistle]

Or 23% if you have cores unfilled

[rich fjord]

Wait if i have zeus atk, special, dash and cast for example

Is the percentage 4 times?

[latent moon]

it's not as bad as most people think

given good pact and build

there's a guide pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies

[fervent radish]

It’s rolled once for each boon choice

So if a core is not filled it will offer that core, and then any remaining choices will be eligible to roll leg/duo

[rich fjord]

Oh i see

[stoic summit]

is cold fusion good?

[sleek cliff]

not really worth fishing for but its pretty damn good

cuz like jolted is already good af

and being able to keep it active for especially like multi attacks is even more damage

[fervent radish]

It’s good if you’re applying jolted with something infrequent, since it’ll stay applied between uses of that thing

[steep gate]

is the number of encounters on a floor random? sometimes my keepsakes will say it completed 11 at the end of tartarus, and sometimes it says 14

[rustic vale]

well

the boss fight for tartarus is always at chamber 12 iirc

but the number of encounters in tartarus is lower

[rustic vale]

bar you take a chaos immediately before chamber 11

then you extend tartarus by 1 chamber

but chambers are distinct from encounters, where encounters are fighting rooms

[steep gate]

yeah I know

might be mistaken about 14 then

[rustic vale]

almost definitely

I may be off by 1 room for tartarus for tartarus but not more than that I know that for certain

same thing with the rest of the bosses

they're all at certain chamber #'s unless you extend areas via chaos right before the last chamber

and Hades is always a random amount given when you get the sack and how many rooms were in your tunnels

although the earliest you can get Hades and the latest you can get Hades are both real numbers

[steep gate]

it always feels like 5 + final for non mini boss tunnels and 3-4 + final for mini boss tunnels

[obsidian drum]

buying one thing for the west wing

3 doritos later

the thing is on sale, like if I have never buy it.

[rustic vale]

... that shouldn't've happened

did you happen to quit the game?

[rustic vale]

can't properly remember

afaik the max chambers in your styx is 33

minimum is like

9 or 10

[obsidian drum]

No, I kept playing

I bought the Contraption, Intricate and then I saw it wasn't there when I started the game once again.

[rustic vale]

are you sure you purchased it

[jagged hamlet]

Did you enter any other room after purchasing the thingy?

[obsidian drum]

Yes, Zagreus said it would bring something about intricate things

[rustic vale]

huh

[obsidian drum]

IIRC I spoke with some characters before to step into his room

(Cannot screenshot it because I'll fight with Charon)

Thinking about it, if Charon kills me, I'll make sure in see if the aquarium is there as well.

Me letting Charon kill Zagreous

I'm so sorry, babe, I love you.

Oh the exit to the Loungue and the aquarium are there, but the Contraption isn't

And I know I spent 300 gems on it, and was placed next to the bone statue

ok, I found a weird bug while petting the good boy

⛔ @obsidian drum Whoops! You need the Manage Messages permission to use this command.

[rich fjord]

yeah okay 8 miniboss chamber rerolls and i get every god in my pool except the one i need

but thats my fault its a skill thing

[rustic vale]

the real skill issue is using fated authority at all

[rich fjord]

Hey i thought it was okay if im going for one god build

I read a guide that was not my original thought

[rustic vale]

where was this guide

is this

oh gosh

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/845087924717486140/1018858873735610418/Screenshot_20220912-082117_Chrome.jpg?ex=66625284&is=66610104&hm=b3a61fac94bec65f359c4739b382d58c8b4b35702ddc7518c6a96cb35369359a&

[rustic vale]

most good builds in Hades aren't just one god. Even the best god to take more of, zeus, still wants other gods, like aphrodite for smouldering air and to just put something that makes sense on special, etc etc

and it's way more valuable to be able to control which boons you get via fated persuasion then which rooms you get via fated authority

[rich fjord]

NONO it was more of a have fun build

It told me to spam zeus om zag rail

I DIDNT GET DISCHARGE UNTIL ELYSIUM

Not even common

[rustic vale]

yeah putting zeus on zeus is good but not

not fated authority to try to get more of him good

[rustic vale]

. thoughts on zeus

[rich fjord]

My fault

Im honestly js tryna get used to saving rerolls for chaos or hermes

[rustic vale]

and zeus is the best case scenario for wanting to take more of the same gods boons because there are so many good useful options

[rich fjord]

What better way than to rempve rerolls completely

[rustic vale]

I think that's counter intuitive

you'll end up forgetting you have them for chaos and hermes

[rich fjord]

I guess so

[harsh geyser]

Going for fun builds is pain in the a for me but if you enjoing it, go for it. You would get exact this build like nearly never tho. If you dont mind, then reroll for only one god.
But since it is so random i usually reroll god that i dont want than searching for one that i want. Fated persuasion is better if you want specific boons rather that one god boons.

[sleek cliff]

we love thegamer

[sleek cliff]

ngl use rolls when u want to use rolls

4 is a lot

but sometimes like an aspho roll into purple jolt can be game winning too

[rustic vale]

and... tbh most of the time

you want specific boons

rather than just

gimme something that isn't a heart or an obol

the pool you can grab from on gold laurels is so broad

rather than quality of the options for boons from gods you know you're getting

[jagged hamlet]

Everyone's faces have such striking cheekbones! Except maybe Artemis and Hermes

[harsh geyser]

Like if they are family

[mild hemlock]

Hey I need help I want to 100% the game but right now it seems impossible. I have over 100 escape attempts with maxed out relations with majority of the cast in the game only missing Patroclus & Demeter not maxed out while Meg & Aphrodite still having a locked heart (I know I need Meg to unlock Aphrodite). I've looked at a few guides and it says I just have to get lucky with unlocking Meg's heart but I don't understand with over 100 attempts it not being available yet. Is there something I need to buy from the construction shades, use a specific weapon/boon on a run? I have no idea what to do please help me.

[rich isle]

can anyone give me some tips on how to beat elysium without taking damage/ as less damage as possible? I'm doing fresh file runs so its stygina blade no matter what

[harsh geyser]

Dont know whats the issue here, but you can try to fight her with hexagryph attemt the 32 heat run, she have specific dialogue options for this.
If you have extream measures all the time try witouth them for few runs, there are some dialogues about her sisters
If you are doing no extream measures(one is enough) then try with for few runs

Maybe some other characters are blocking you, but shouldnt as far as i know

[rustic vale]

@mild hemlock You don’t need any heat nor specific weapons used to progress with her dialogues

It is literally just random rng dialogues for when she shows up in your room and a) takes her stuff back, then b) a second dialogue where she’s in your room again

rng dialogue happens to have been the bane of quite a few Hades players over the years

[slender spruce]

waht's a good Dionysus build

[mental turret]

I frankly use god mode at 80. The only wayI can play and havr fun

[tepid plover]

is there for a reason

[slender spruce]

how does damage reduction stacking works?

additively?

Bronze Skin + Positive outlook for example

[rustic vale]

Multiplicatively

You cannot hit 100% damage reduction

[tepid plover]

you can get very, very close with god mode, but yeah

[rustic vale]

You can easily get 51% damage reduction with just weaken and hyper sprint

70% damage taken * 70% damage taken = 49% damage taken = 51% reduction

Sidenote but broken resolve is the only boon that doesn’t do this, as far as I know it purely adds to the reduction of weaken

Meaning it’s a lot stronger than it may appear at first glance

[gusty cave]

why is hestia mid

i have it at level one and it ain't doing much

[tepid plover]

thats probably why

[spring lotus]

Because it really sucks when not at max level

[gusty cave]

oh

[tepid plover]

lol

[gusty cave]

so like it's a max it or die

[tepid plover]

sort of

[spring lotus]

^

[tepid plover]

most weapons are like that

[gusty cave]

am struggling atm

then what aspcets do you guys suggest for early game?

cause my special is acrring me

[fervent radish]

Hestia should be level 3 at minimum

[fervent radish]

Nemesis, any of the shields, Achilles, eris, zagbow, Hera, Rama, Lucifer

[gusty cave]

kk

[gusty cave]

How do you kill chiron

[mint coral]

Something something a penny for each time the typo happened

Joke aside, just keep trying the fight whenever it shows up

Charon patterns are really telegraphed

If you want the wins for the hermes prophecy you can wait for the bag to show up in aspho or elysium

Where you'll have more hp/some semblance of a build

If you wanna win it early do hestia or similar weapons that only need 1 or 2 boons for their dmg

[ripe plume]

is haylien not on this discord server?

[rustic vale]

Never seen him in 2 years ( I did take a hiatus this past year though)

Unless he goes by a different discord user name

It looks like his account is on the server

Last message sent 6 months ago I was still in hiatus from Hades atp

[latent moon]

he very occasionally comments/replies to something here but not often

same with speedrunning discord

[tepid plover]

yeah hes here, just not active

[grand mirage]

if early game personally always nemesis/chiron, then i move on to zeus or eris/hestia

demeter used to be my personal favorite, also strong but i dont really like it anymore for an early game prio

Hello

💀

[jagged hamlet]

So long as you harbor no malice or impolite thoughts, you've nothing to fear from StickyBot!

[left fox]

Is there any point to ||resource director?||

[mint coral]

Nah

[left fox]

I didn't think so, thank you

[sacred pecan]

cosmetic on ui

[left fox]

Yeah was just wondering if there were any other added benefits, thanks for answering though!

[tepid plover]

There's nothing else to use darkness on, so might as well

[left fox]

||what do Erebus gates do?||

[mint coral]

Requires 5/10/15 heat to enter and offers hitless challenges for upgraded rewards

Erebus rewards work like styx minibosses so double hp,coins, poms or upgraded rarity on boons

[tepid plover]

But if you get hit once, you get an onion instead

[rich fjord]

xdd this game actually isnt real

not even enough gods to fill my pool by the end of elysium

just give me money or hearts for all of second and third world please ☝️

[left fox]

Are the rewards worth the risk?

[left fox]

That's quite funny

[tepid plover]

they are upgraded

so long as you dont get hit, of course is worth

[jagged hamlet]

Don't even think about bothering to think about bothering with Erebus in Elysium though. Basically guaranteed to get

[mint coral]

I only do tart erebus

[left fox]

Ah good to know, thank you!

[rustic vale]

If only you could get trial erebus

[undone inlet]

made it to elysium for the first time

[brisk trail]

You love how green it is huh?

[thorny mural]

finally done with achievements!! getting bad call was the worst T_T

[brisk trail]

I am confused

I’m killing bosses but not getting titan blood or fancy ambrosia anymore

Just darkness

Do I have to alter the heat gauge?

Or change weapons?

[jagged hamlet]

Yep. You get rewards once per boss per weapon per level of heat from 0 heat to 20 heat (21 levels total)

[brisk trail]

I’m just trying to maximize my runs because I know see how grindy the game can get for the ghoul worker stuff next to where hades sits

I forgot what it was called

[brisk trail]

So if I did 8 heat before I can do 1 heat and get the titan blood titan reward?

[twin thistle]

No, if you do a heat higher than the bounty itll count for the minimum heat you didnt do yet

Like if you skipped 1 heat on a weapon and did 8 heat instead you need to do 2+ for the loots next time

[brisk trail]

Hmm I will see what I can do

[subtle needle]

did em3 fo2 champions hitless for the first time, first the peak now the felled off

[brisk trail]

House contractor that’s what it is

[plain junco]

if I go from beating hades with two heat to like for example fourteen heat will I still get bounties?

not saying that I am, too hard for me atm

[jagged hamlet]

Yep. You'll get the bounties for 3 heat upon your first clear of 14, then 4, then 5, etc.

[grand mirage]

there are 20 bounties per weapon so yeah

its not like you will not get any bounties once you do more than 20 heat, but afaik if you havent cleared a bounty but you cleared a run with a higher heat than what's the bounty is recommending you can still get it

[jagged hamlet]

21! Can't forget heat level 0

[grand mirage]

oh true

[plain junco]

asking bc it says “heat gauge too full” and like you can’t earn extra bounties

[latent moon]

you can't get "extra" in the sense that you dont get double the reward if you do higher than the bounty

you just get the same reward

[plain junco]

oh ok

[gusty cave]

guys what diamond upgardes should i get in the house contractor?

[split sand]

I'm almost done and thats the one I'm just absolutely not looking forward to

[split sand]

nectar, vintage and Darkness, pitchblack are really good. Chthonic keys, Fated is goated if you have that part of the mirror unlocked

[next ledge]

Vintage?

PREMIUM VINTAGE IS THE BEST BOON! And that by far far far. If you dont know what boon the ultimate premium vintage is, its the one that makes it so that if you pick up nectar you gain more max health. AND ITS AMAZING! These moments when you got the chance between a centaur heart and nectar, and your like “why not both”. BUT THATS NOT ALL! Premium vintage also gives you a nectar instantly, where the effect already applies. So you have moments where you can choose between a centaur heart, nectar or dionysus and your like “why not all three”. Or when you give Dionysus nectar and he is a real bro, the dude gives you back your nectar, gives you health AND makes it so future nectar also give health. Shout out to the best boon EVER! React if you are smart and know that premium vintage is the best boon, and makes Dionysus the best god! I really hope they make something like that in Hades II.

[tepid plover]

you really should edit the heart and nectar part, since thats not possible, otherwise 10/10 copypasta

[mint coral]

The real premium vintage buff is that now troves can rarely give you max hp and a pom

And sunken treasure too I think

[gusty cave]

guys any recommanded fist builds

[queen monolith]

i dont understand how learning to play the harp works :x

talking to orphy doesnt work, spaming the interaction with the harp doesnt work

buying songs also didnt seem to do anything

[mint coral]

You need to play it 210 times

And at some thresholds orpheus will talk to you

[queen monolith]

each time after a run or just spam the button 210 times at once?

[mint coral]

Your choice

[queen monolith]

nice

[mint coral]

If you have the time and wanna do it in one go, go for it

[queen monolith]

too bad i cant keep the button pressed

i could try to configure something but too lazy :x

[mint coral]

technically is better cuz after talking with orpheus zag takes longer between plays

But also 210 times, lol lmao

[fervent radish]

Some circuit shorted in my brain when I tried to imagine choosing between nectar and a heart

Yeah dialogue post epilogue

[rustic vale]

Yep

[mint coral]

She counts as one of the 6 gods needed for it when reaching the lock for that reason

[rustic vale]

Gold Laurel vs Blue Laurel choice

[fervent radish]

The chaos curse will only bring you down to 1 health. It can’t be a killing blow

Still a tough situation but yeah

[stoic summit]

oh yeah im super good at not taking 1 single hit in the hydra fight when there are tons of attacks lol

[fervent radish]

What were the other chaos curses btw

[mint coral]

Or what was the boon for the attack curse

[ripe plume]

210 interactions with Orpheus genuinely

[reef zodiac]

Wait what

[stoic summit]

i think it was strike, it was -5 health per attack

[fervent radish]

yeah but you had 2 other choices right

[stoic summit]

yeah but i kept getting the stupid rooms that didnt count as encounters so by the time i reached bone hydra i needed 1 more encounter

[fervent radish]

ig, but i wouldn't take that curse on the sword at all. so the other two options were prob better regardless

[stoic summit]

nah im pretty sure they were some like coins and darkness trash

not that those are trash but i was needing dif boons

[fervent radish]

ig, but sometimes you have to just pick the least bad curse

[stoic summit]

well i didnt think it would last all the way to the stupid boss fight

i ended up dying to hades anyway

[fervent radish]

it's painful to go through any room with that curse tho

[grand mirage]

i just got ares prophecy recently, do i really need to do 10k more kills even though i alr exceeded it or do i just need to seek him out?

[mint coral]

Just seek him

[still pivot]

I am replaying Hades and trying this time with Hell Mode. Hoping I don’t regret it later!

[heavy burrow]

ive burnt myself out on the game again

i do that way too easily

i returned to the game and played an extra like 40 or 50 hours and ofcourse now i dont wanna play it anymore

im glad i managed to complete the main story though

[mellow herald]

whats the best music u guys always listen in hades ?

[mint coral]

Always listen is prob god of the dead lol

Fav tracks also include bloodless/unseen ones/in the blood for me tho

[reef zodiac]

Scourge of the Furies and On The Coast

[grand mirage]

on the coast my beloved

[jagged hamlet]

Scourge of the Furies is great!

[fervent radish]

I mute the in game music…

[jagged hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/then-you-are-lost-obi-wan-star-wars-episode3-well-then-you-are-lost-gif-11609928

[mint coral]

Oh yeah on the coast is beautiful

[tight cloak]

Why it’s so damn hard to farm Gemstones

Jeez there is only one that gives like 1k

Kinda suxx ngl

[grand mirage]

Poseidon's Ocean Bounty and Chaos' Eclipse are your only hope

[ripe plume]

Orpheus lament is dope tho

[mint coral]

It is

[ripe plume]

You can do prophecies fast, but you need to keep dying fast as well

I just spent the last 3 hours looking at documentaries of supergiant games.

Esp the art music and story

[rich fjord]

do miniboss rooms outside of styx have higher rarity boons?

[mint coral]

Tartarus is guaranteed rare, beyond that is like a close to guaranteed but you'll still get the odd common boon

[rich fjord]

huh thats weird

[rich fjord]

do you mean a single guaranteed rare of the 3?

[mint coral]

Minimum rarity is rare

And higher odds for epic/lower for duos and legendaries

[lethal matrix]

Did anyone see the new Hades merch that supergroupies is selling?

[cunning pecan]

I did, but they only ship to the US and Canada

[lethal matrix]

Oh noooo, my condolences

[cunning pecan]

Also kinda really pricey ngl

[lethal matrix]

Call me cringe if you want but I saw it and had to get the jacket and watch

Yeah. Definitely

[cunning pecan]

The watch is fire but again, only us and ca 😭

[rich fjord]

do i need to fill out the 3 extra hearts after max nectar on the three lovers for aphro's favor?

[lethal matrix]

You need to have all hearts maxed for all three

[brisk trail]

I feel the same brotha

Getting only 5 gemstones at a time

However I think the house contractor and prophecies can help

I don’t know how far each of us are in the game either

[tight cloak]

😭

Man you finish a whole run for 70 gemstones

Darn it

[grand mirage]

[brisk trail]

I just want titan blood and gems

[grand mirage]

better than nothing though

[brisk trail]

Bouldy my beloved

Maybe there are gems inside bouldy

Like he’s a geode

https://tenor.com/view/shagarita-gif-23774668

[grand mirage]

if you really want to grind you have to roll for chaos

since he gives the best buff for grinding

[tight cloak]

Like now I need to have Varatha Flurry Jab to complete the prophecy but I can’t find it 🤣

[brisk trail]

I wish you could cook the cosmic egg so binging with babish would have to make a hades cooking video

[tight cloak]

how can I get the flurry jab

[brisk trail]

Time to grind for gems at work

[mint coral]

play with zag or achilles aspect of the spear

and don't take any of the spin hammers

[tight cloak]

i did and got a hammer firt thing. But with no Flurry Jab

and didn’t get a hammer yet

[mint coral]

well, be luckier

[tight cloak]

ok just got it

[mint coral]

lmfao

[tight cloak]

if I give up it won't fulfill the prophecy?

[mint coral]

correct

pressing give up reverts the save before the run happened

so anything done mid run doesn't count

[tight cloak]

Jeez

[tight cloak]

So I just need to die

[mint coral]

ye

[rich fjord]

does splittng headacho work on damage sources with 0% crit

[mint coral]

no

[rich fjord]

unless pressure points right

[mint coral]

yeah pp makes splitting work with everything

[rich fjord]

can hangover crit

with pp

[mint coral]

yeah

pp works with any dmg from zag

except explosive return cuz uh

yeah

[brisk trail]

Pp

Hehehe

You guys said Pp

[split sand]

yes, it's story locked tho

[split sand]

I always get dogged on cause I do this in every game and just listen to my own music

[fervent radish]

I usually don’t, but hades is the first game I’ve played so much that I’ve gotten tired of the music

Gets annoying to play a reset/death heavy run and listen to tart music for an hour

I keep sfx on though

[rustic vale]

Real, @Hadesdevs release a patch that makes the game music just as captivating when you’re a couple hundred hours in

[undone inlet]

yup

looks nice

[rustic vale]

actually I can’t say much, I’m not normally a game music listener, since I typically listen to video essays at the same time
