[latent moon]

No build control and no defiance

[cedar crypt]

ok those too

[latent moon]

The other stuff sucks bc you don't have a build lmao

[rustic vale]

no build is what makes js3 cp2 dc2 so baddd

[tacit ember]

🤷‍♂️ idk what im doing lol

[rustic vale]

real

[tacit ember]

i got past tart anyway

[rustic vale]

You got this twin

what weapon is this btw

[tacit ember]

give me some pointers for what pacts to chose

achilles

[latent moon]

There's a 32 heat guide pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies

[rustic vale]

written by this guy ^

[cedar crypt]

and nobody misses ap in hades 2 😊

[tacit ember]

bruh what 100% lasting consiquenses

[rustic vale]

ngl the only part of 32 heat pacts that really changes is whether your weapon can handle dc2

100% lasting consequences is stubborn defiance city

[latent moon]

Keep reading

[tacit ember]

oooh

i have normal dd on lol

anyway i will see

[cedar crypt]

so is stubborn defiance good for high heat specifically

[latent moon]

Pretty much yeah

Bosses should be consistent enough where you don't need death defiances

[rustic vale]

until you can’t use it anymore

[latent moon]

Normal rooms can be a pain so SD covers that

[tacit ember]

lmao lsot 2 dd to the start of asph

first encounter infact

im gon go redo my pact

[rustic vale]

worst part about SD is going to reset your sd and then you just die

in asphodel

[latent moon]

SD can technically heal.you more than DD over the course of the run

[tacit ember]

rapid strike hammer first room this run

so

[rustic vale]

what wep

[tacit ember]

im gonna keep this seed

[latent moon]

We do love weed

[tacit ember]

maybe i will put on forced overtime

its 6 whole heat bruh

[rustic vale]

forced overtime is something you adjust to

[tacit ember]

gonna put athena attack on and see if that keeps me safe

[rustic vale]

it takes practice

but you learn it

It will take you time to learn unless you’re insane

But you never have to turn it off after that

If you want to speedrun it’s optimal

if you want to do high heat you learn it and you’re mostly fine

[tacit ember]

maybe i should do a run with overtime to learn it but im just slapping it on 32 for now lol

does artemis not have a revenge boon btw

nor can i think of one for possidon

[rustic vale]

Only 5 of the gods have revenge boons

[tacit ember]

arti has 5 revenge boons moment

[rustic vale]

athena / zeus / ares / demeter / aphrodite

pos doesn’t have one, arte doesn’t, dio doesn’t

[tacit ember]

anyway that traps pact is so unworth for the one heat bruh lol

[rustic vale]

Traps when you get hit for 150 damage from a pot in dad fight

[tacit ember]

forgot those were traps

[rustic vale]

more like you learn they’re traps the first time you get hit by them with hs

[tacit ember]

i learned this awhile ago when i was doing ff lol

[rustic vale]

weird

[tacit ember]

hm skull earing seems kinda really good with stuborn lol

oh wow touch of styx

ive litearlly never seen this item before lol

kinda seems not super usful?

[mint coral]

you can stack a few of them

• charon keepsake has it last for 22 encounters

(patroclus's version is +50% instead)

2 normal touch of styx (or 1 + that athena boon) and patroclus gives you a 100% hp stubborn which it is fun

[latent moon]

Yeah they go pretty well together if your build uses flat damage

Doesn't really get used until super high heats tho

[tacit ember]

oh yea i never gave him a necter

[mint coral]

his keepsake is eh

I meant what he offers instead of refill all dds

[latent moon]

It's for a good handful of encounters and it's technically 20% bc of your initial HP bar and the one after

[tacit ember]

oh wow the kiss lasts multiple biomes

for somereason that didnt clock for me lol

also so far ive kinda forgotten about overtime lol

i am running spear though so lol

aaaaaaaa

should it take serrated point

seems crazy

thats such a joke bruh what

i haveone extra dash from hermes so i think i should be fine

i think it eats the achieles buff though lol

good regardless

i think

heros time

[rustic vale]

Wanna test that bc

[tacit ember]

omg the bull is so fast

[rustic vale]

I’m pretty sure it should work for 4 full dash strikes

w/ serrated

[tacit ember]

maybe since ihave rapid im seeing wrong

[rustic vale]

What you have flurry and serrated?

[tacit ember]

oh maybe its thorwing out another jab after the dash attack so i misstok ig

[rustic vale]

flurry makes it so you do a standing strike immediately after your dash-strike

So you got thru your achilles buff 2x as fast

[tacit ember]

oof almost died to heros

but didnt

hehe

what keepsake shoudl i take for hades

im thinkign just achorn?

thats one of few i have maxxed so lol

i feel liek there should be boons that give you more dash length

since there are hammers that remove

wow even hades intro animation is faster lmao

bruh hes so fast

bruhyi ran out of time

burhbruhbruhbrbuhrburhbrubh

i had liek 2 min left going into hades

got him down to the last quarter healthbar

bruh

thsi game is so bad fr

tbf i dont have a plush

gonna try a possidon run

ooo possidon

gonna try to remember to gift this time lmao

poggers

omg i got possidon and athena in tart

both gods that i wanted

i also got dio though

i wanted aphro as my 4th

maybe iwill take aphros keepsake for asph

but like feels like that might croud the pool too much and i might be better off just not taking that

idk i think i will though

bruh i lost to than

lol i rerolled an arti boon and got both heart rend and deadly reversal offered

i think rend is better

noooo

died to the bull miniboss bruh

am i like stupid or smth

i havent unlocked the records room yet

how do i do that

[woeful oak]

GADEM

[latent moon]

please dont try that pact lmfao

[primal compass]

I did it, I gifted the final nectar

Ambrosia farming here I come

[mint coral]

After another flashback sequence

[tacit ember]

time to hades

i have 5 blood rn

i could either max my paspect of pissidon or get my aspect of chilli to level 3

i think i will try for arti with aphro or athena or spear

i feel like i want to go with privilaged status instead of family favorat

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1394734947180482570/1439639944921485344/image.png?ex=691b40ae&is=6919ef2e&hm=e82ac2635b4e480d324ddffde7fee9468761d0f4d8aa502766fd84ec457cf4d7&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

looks ok to me

hm hammer first room again wow

i think extended jab sounds pretty decent

oo wow natural aphro spawn poggers

omg i got athena too

natural spawn

burh only had 16 seconds to spare in tart lol

lol actually kinda pro that i didnt upgrade stygian soul cuz i got that one demiter bon

lol died

feels liek i wasnt doing that much dmg

oh i didnt realise achilles was a cast weapon

ill try hunting blades ig

[indigo grove]

I’m trying to unlock companions and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve given a lot of nectar to a few folks: Achilles, patro, Meg, Shelly.

I can’t give out anymore nectar to them and still have no companions

[tacit ember]

OMG HUNTING IN TART

bruh i died to hydra

gon just try the same thign agian

[mint coral]

Keep talking to them basically, a few (achilles/skelly) have specific quests to unlock the ability to gift ambrosia

Meg's quest is just keep talking too

[tacit ember]

bruh i died to hydra again lmao

[noble agate]

Just got a run with almost the maximum speed I could get

50% movement speed from Hermes

And 36% speed and dodge bonus chance whenever using a call

I'M ZOOMING

THE GAME NOW FEEL SLOW TO ME

[mint coral]

No hyper sprint 😔

Btw movement speed is multiplicative

Start buying them ichors

[rustic vale]

I’ve definitely got at least 70% faster than that (multiplicatively)

[indigo grove]

Is there anything that can be done to increase the likelihood of exclamation point rooms appearing?

[noble agate]

Lambent Plume keepsake?

[gilded leaf]

i don’t think so. but there is an ability in the mirror of night that increases your likelihood of gold laurel rooms, if you have that activated it would make encountering an exclamation point room less likely since they are blue laurel rooms

[indigo grove]

Roger

I wonder if the mirror bonus for additional gods and juice also impacts this

[noble agate]

Wait

Are you gunning for npcs bond levels

That's why you asked this question?

Sisyphus, Eurydice, and Patroclus?

[indigo grove]

Yes

Patro I can’t give anymore nectar to but I’m told for the Achilles companion I gotta max out Sisyphus

[mint coral]

Npc rooms aren't affected by dark foresight

[mint coral]

That's the same skill they mentioned, and no it doesn't

Basically just pray for it

[indigo grove]

So what is the easiest first companion to unlock? I have no more nectar left to give to many

[mint coral]

Meg/skelly

[indigo grove]

Shelly won’t take more nectar and his hearts are locked and I’ve already killed him with the sword so I’m not sure what else to do

[mint coral]

Did it clear the prophecy?

[gilded leaf]

wait fr? good to know

[rustic vale]

No

hyper sprint x 3 ichors

which would be 3.4 times movespeed (2*1.2^3)

compared to like 2.04x from your plume and greater haste

[indigo grove]

Skelly, pat, Achilles, and Meg are at the lock

Thanatos too

[mint coral]

I meant specifically skelly's prophecy about killing him using maxed zag sword

[indigo grove]

Where do I view that?

[mint coral]

Should be in your minor list of prophecies

[indigo grove]

Ok it’s not complete

Need to max out sword first aspect

[crimson ibex]

Hi there

Just started the game, it finally clicked a few days ago and i'm having an absolute blast

The switch from Meg to Tisiphone was rough the first time tho

[tacit ember]

for 32 heat with the athena cast is it ok if i dont get the zeus duo

i dont have zeus keepsake to force him lol

i didnt realise this but athena cast is quite strong by default lol

[gray apex]

It's not a requirement

It'll help in the heroes fight and room clearing but you can do without it

Depending on your wep and other buffs you might have

I assume you're running achilles

[tacit ember]

man crap i only have 30 seconds left for heros

i do have 100% healing form pertroclas though

noooo ran out of time lol

[tacit ember]

maybe ill just do some runs to get more blood and stuff bruh

thats so annoying

i think i will take off a level of deadline lol

in exchange for 3 levels of jury maybe lol

idk if this is kinda scuffed byt achilles with alot of athena

cast + attack + +10% hp from dd

and i figure i could try to get that duo with aphro

with exposed and shadowpressense seems like a good idea

ooo +1 stone from chaos

[umbral geode]

Hey so ive just finished the flash back section of the game that's earlier on (the one about my not being zags true mother) and I've got a few questions

1. Is this the reason why zags trying to run away?

2. Who else knows that nyx isnt zags true mother

3. Does hades know that zag has found out that nyx isn't his mother?

[mint coral]

Yeah.

A few members of the house iirc? At least Achilles (based on post first win dialogue)

Yeah

Wait actually I'm doubting myself if he was just trying to run from hades at first then learned about persephone

I think it was that?

Or just mixing it up with what he tells to the olympians

[tacit ember]

noooo

i died lol

got the duo too

bruh

[tacit ember]

bruh i keep dying to the bull

40% speed makes the charge so fast lol

[tacit ember]

bruh i beat the bull and got theseus to second phase during the heros fight

then i crashed lmao

and i diedto bull

skull

[mint coral]

oh yeah fo2 bull is a menace lol

even worse with em3

what wep is this, hera?

[tacit ember]

chillies spear

[mint coral]

I see

[tacit ember]

bruh i lost to than lol

bruh died to hydra

serrated seems kidna not wroth taking

[mint coral]

serrated stinky

I don't play spear unmodded for a reason lol

[tacit ember]

heheh thunder phalanx in tart

damn this thing is not bad

best thing i think is that the stones seem to not get stuck super often lol

[mint coral]

lightning phalanx my beloved

[tacit ember]

ooooo parting shot

theannoying thing about athena cast is that sometiems it just runs away to the edge of the gigantic room

bruh beat hydra on 1 hp

[mint coral]

just wait until they accidentally fall into the water in dad's arena

[tacit ember]

💀

lol i remember the skulls falling behind that barrier while doing ff being pretty annoying

bruhbrhubruhbruhbr

i died to hades 2.2

bruh

i literally kept the protroclas kiss thingy had both duos i wanted and got that +50 backstab well item

just skillissued on hates lmao

hes so fast

bruh whatever ill do some runs with that liek fast pact to grind blood and to get used hades ig lol

inhind sight i was really rushing the hades fight for no reason

i had like 5 min i think lol

[umbral geode]

Yeah I think it is that cos zag and nyx don't bring it up before you find out she's not his mother

[tacit ember]

If the flashback is set before run 1 then I think it can be assumed that the motivation has stayed the same

[tacit ember]

there should be a button to reset the pact

and you should be able to save pacts

[tacit ember]

bruh i was doing a run with overtime and lsot to hades 2.2 lol

literally only that and em3 on

so bad

i think for my next 32 attempt im gon try the dem cast

hm but the "problem" with that is i wouldnt get athena for free other good bons

[tacit ember]

erm what i just did the heros fight and i swear the bull wasnt even that fast

but i just chcked and i do have forced overtime on

strange

[mint coral]

No Demeter/that one dio boon that slows?

[tacit ember]

no

[mint coral]

Might be just getting used to it lol

[tacit ember]

its very strange cuz i swear he was the same speed i woudl expect without overtime

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1394734947180482570/1440087282274009129/image.png?ex=691ce14b&is=691b8fcb&hm=b8cbeb00ccdbd7c4ec9228ffb12b33fc7035731ecc1b0755dca21c598d1bc8b3&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=263&height=525

i dont think anything slows

[mint coral]

Very niche but you aren't using the alt side of boiling blood right

[tacit ember]

no

lol

thats kinda an idea actually lmao

[mint coral]

Then yeah you have 0 slow effects lol

[tacit ember]

maybe it bugged

but idk

beat hades with over time heheh

only em3 and overtime tho

and i had vengful mood with athena revenge that did actually reflect a couple of hits for me lol

and athena call lmao

imagine the hunting blades build with vengful mood and athena revenge though

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1394734947180482570/1440091522749169745/image.png?ex=691ce53e&is=691b93be&hm=40b365a8b8b5462be50f1a6384cf655db7bf573a24a7ba52af2efe141b1afcb4&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1104&height=621

lol so much red

time to try em4 ig

what other gods do i go for while using zeuls attack

possidon duo?

[mint coral]

Tidal dash always good, no need for the duo

[tacit ember]

lol i got epic attack and epic jolted

poggers?

lol tart 3.30

pretty fast for me

omg epic possidon dash

i also picked up an epic random assortments thingy

lol

jolted and possidon dash became red from the soup or whatever

erm poggers

[gilded leaf]

🍲

[tacit ember]

6 50 past hydra

slower ely

13.3

bruh what

hades threw the spear lmao

the spera is kinda annoying lmao

its like the spin equivilant to the skull lmao

slower attack dif timing

whaat he sumons minibosses lmao

lol i didnt even get to the secodn phase

gonna cope by saying that erm fists i dont usally use + base level zag aspect

[dusk geode]

"Krrhh, hrraaaahhh ...!"

[obtuse pelican]

want to replay hades 1 after hades 2 but i have already completed it so knowing myself i know i will get bored quickly so i need some addition or a chagne

are there some staple, beloved mods to hades1 that add content? whether it be boons, bosses, idk

[tacit ember]

Have you tried playing some high heat or fresh file

As far as I know there aren't any well known content mods for hades

[mint coral]

There's olympus extra as far as new gods

[tacit ember]

Apperantly there is a modding discord

[mint coral]

There's also my fav mod

https://www.nexusmods.com/hades/mods/128

Sbeve

[obtuse pelican]

i am going to play from fresh file
and i have played high heat when it came out

sad

[mint coral]

Fresh file as in 1st run win they mean

[stray minnow]

I hate traps so much

[mint coral]

Did you turn on heightened security

[stray minnow]

I'm just starting the game so idk what that is

[mint coral]

Oops

Don't worry about it

Also welcome to the game

[stray minnow]

Wait there's a way to make the spikes worse?

[mint coral]

Yeah but is optional

[stray minnow]

More like a re-welcome. I played it before, reached a point, got tired of sucking, played Hades 2, could tolerate sucking there more and actually started to get good. Came back to Hades and I still suck

[mint coral]

Fair enough

If you've played h2 I think you can guess how to make traps worse

(post 1st win)

[stray minnow]

Yeah pact of punishment

But traps already sucks

Nearly beat meg ugh

First win over meg and I go back to finish h2

[mint coral]

I assume you know how the dash iframes work?

[stray minnow]

No...

[mint coral]

Dashing makes you completely invincible until the very end of it but the iframes are cancelled upon using any move during the dash (dash strikes/special/you name it)

So if you gotta dodge, don't attack yourself

[stray minnow]

How do I do that

[mint coral]

Just press the dash button without inputting an attack during it

[tacit ember]

Space to dash

[stray minnow]

Oh....

[tacit ember]

The dash frames are shorter than you might expect

[tacit ember]

lol got offered ares legendary for the first time

seems kinda cracked

that and hunting rifts form the same boon

but gonna chose that for fates

• prolly gon get duo later anyway

[rustic vale]

so like it’s only +2 for aid

it’s +1 for the regular cast and dash

and +0 for the bugowulf flare

[tacit ember]

lol well it felt pretty strong

maybe rifts are jsut strong by defualt

i did apply 2 curses and had chillies buff

its liek lv 4 or smth

also that hamer that gives crit and + dmg to the return special is so good on achilles it feels like

[rustic vale]

Blades are naturally strong and even at +1 per hit it’s still pretty fine

[rustic vale]

🤨

[tacit ember]

why so inquisitive

[rustic vale]

it’s just weird

to like

For it to seem that impactful

compared to every other part of your kit

[tacit ember]

🤷‍♂️

obviously compared to rifts its not significant

but it was conviniet for clearing tart and asph

oh i might have had braid of atlas for the hydra fight lol

explains why hydra melted

is it wroth ugprading black metal

prolly not since hunting

lol only 2 eye gusy coudl spawn during the butterfly mini

lmao ihappened to have dio and i just now got the arti dio duo

i have the ares dio one also

i didnt end up seeing hunting again lol

lmao im getting the dio athena dio

bro is most popular guy fr

ooh ig the pots being traps is the reason hades gets damaged by them

erm idk what was happening

hades was healing

2.2

[mint coral]

Super dad thing

[tacit ember]

but like i was damaging him at the same rate

lol cerberus

the spear thorw mixup on that 3 hit combo he does is kinda annoying lol

bruh third pahse

i cant see lol

[mint coral]

there's a cheat for that

turn up the brightness in settings

[tacit ember]

bruh

i died

lol

he was on a sliver bruh

atleast i can max out my aspect now

bruh i havent gotten the rapid hammer for so long

ooo i forgot about possidon

that arti and possidon duo pretty tasty if i somehow get it lol

[rustic vale]

I like to think so but it doesn’t have the same raw area of high voltage

the numbers are way lower so it’s not as large iirc

[tacit ember]

is the ares demiter duo worth stacking on hunting rifts build

[mint coral]

they block each other

[tacit ember]

o

[mint coral]

if you get one you can't get the other

[tacit ember]

is teh demiter dio good

ig you get to use demiter secondary boons on blade

but compared to hunting idk if that is worth lol

[cunning niche]

no

[indigo grove]

How do you unlock the/benefits package and extreme measures? I’ve beaten the game multiple times and I paid for extreme measures with the contractor, but I don’t see those options anywhere before starting a run

[tacit ember]

thats strange

[mint coral]

benefits package is always unlocked as soon as you get the pact

[indigo grove]

Where do I view it?

[mint coral]

extreme measures 1-3 needs you to have at least met all 3 furies

[indigo grove]

Yeah I’ve done that I just don’t see where to view these menus

[mint coral]

start a run and look at the pact of punishment

[tacit ember]

by the time you can buy em4 from the contracter you should have seen the 3 guys

what is benefits packedge btw

i dont know the names

[indigo grove]

Oh I see

Got it thanks

[mint coral]

armored enemies get extra perks

[tacit ember]

i think it would be fun if achiless dash special woudl activate the dash boon

since im pretty sure it has i frames like dash

imagine if that arti arow boon procked on hit instead of on input

aaaaaaaaa

i got the arti legendary

[rustic vale]

for casts?

because last I checked it proks on hit for strike and special

but it has a 0.2s internal cooldown regardless of the # of hits

[tacit ember]

its when it comes out

for cast atleast

for attack and special its on hit

[gilded leaf]

demeter dionysus duo? iirc it spawns directly underneath enemies without having to travel like a normal cast

[tacit ember]

dem and ares duo i was talking about

[mint coral]

that one stinks

mostly bc of the whole blocking hunting blades thing

[gilded leaf]

i love it

you can pop enemies so easily with that

if you add in zeus dio duo it gets even better

[tacit ember]

lol im gon get stygian shard to boost pot damage to hades

[mint coral]

oh yeah funny thing about stygian shard

trap dmg is multiplicative

with 2 of them you deal like 6.5k with a pillar on his miniboss encounter

[tacit ember]

it can be stacked?

lol thats hilarious

[gilded leaf]

hunting blades is great don’t get me wrong but the trippy shot build is so funny

[mint coral]

they were talking about freezing vortex

not ice wine

[rustic vale]

Yeah

that’s what it says it does

[mint coral]

ice wine is cool for non hera/beo

[tacit ember]

yea and im saying it would be funny if it didnt do that

mainly just ares and dem would get big free damage

[rustic vale]

not really

It’d be free damage but it’d still be held back by the 0.2s itc

[tacit ember]

blade does liek 30 dmg per hit tops

[tacit ember]

ig

lmao having 6 casts is so funny

tbh the arti legendary isnt even all that

but funny still

[rustic vale]

It does like 20 damage at lvl 1 common and you’re already using achilles so it’s at least 40

[tacit ember]

erm wait why does hades dash to his spear

bro has aspect of achilles

[mint coral]

Funny em4

[tacit ember]

i was thinking base dmg

but fair enough

bruh turning up brightness during third phase doesnt even help

jsut makes super contrasty

beat him

hehe

almsot threw lol

think i lost one em first and second phases

didnt in third hehe

[rustic vale]

Nodding along to ppl talking about the em4 fight because I haven’t used it in like 500 runs

[tacit ember]

lol im getting the guanyu thing

[mint coral]

Turn it on you coward /j

[rustic vale]

No reason for speedrunning nor the high heat levels I’ve been at

[mint coral]

Do it anyways

[tacit ember]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1394734947180482570/1440491017290780744/image.png?ex=691e594d&is=691d07cd&hm=c365bc2630e4fda8a0e836784ecf41467533071e8dbd5fdb0f722976f6580111&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=767&height=749

[rustic vale]

Nah

[tacit ember]

gonna try for 32 again now

does this look about right

[rustic vale]

pstatus

legacy

🤨

[tacit ember]

i think i want to gofor privillaged since im running ares anyway im sure i can get doom on smth and just another random curse

[mint coral]

I assume this is achilles?

[tacit ember]

yup

[tacit ember]

whats wrong with legacy

[mint coral]

Yeah swap priv at least

[tacit ember]

999358269422321774

[mint coral]

If this is your first rounds through 32 heat I'd keep legacy tbh

Non hunting blades slicing can suck

[tacit ember]

thats what im saying

[mint coral]

With more experience I'd def swap to pride tho

You get better at forcing duos/get more benefit from good hermes/can deal with the situation even if you don't roll the duo

[tacit ember]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1394734947180482570/1440491805014626444/image.png?ex=691e5a09&is=691d0889&hm=6777fcf78370cde2f3e7d7b9af89e3c1ed13aefaf6a887255b8ab5d5e5f60e44&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=921&height=749¨this is what i can afford

[tacit ember]

what is forcing duos?

are you like exausting a gods pool untill you get it

[mint coral]

Knowing what to take to not open unnecessary duos/filling up your core slots/using rerolls well alongside rarity buffs like yarn or refreshing nectar

[tacit ember]

skull i think i just now talked to skelly for the first time

💀💀

wel he introduced himself and zag said the thing about him not being on payrole

i assume that is the first convo

[rustic vale]

knowing how to fill your cores and take status curses and take rarity boosting items to ensure you get duos way more consistently

[tacit ember]

hm i reloaded so now i never had the first convo

wonder if i keep giving him necter if zag magically knows his name

bruh

i died to the bull miniboss

im actually so skillissued

erm erm zag said "whats going on skelly"

as i like walked up to him

but im pretty sure i didnt have the convo where he introduces himself

whatever ig lol

[mint coral]

why were you doing troves at 32

also do you know how to get the 2 extra defiances with stubborn + athena

[tacit ember]

bruh what

excuse me

i only know that athena gives 10% extra hp

[tacit ember]

i didnt know i wasnt supposed to be doingthem

[mint coral]

use stubborn defiance in the room, pick up either of her DD refill boons

this will grant you one death defiance and stubborn regens next room

[tacit ember]

whaaaaaaaaat

[mint coral]

and stubborn is always used first

[tacit ember]

wow thats gigagantic

[mint coral]

so you can go in with 2 dds + stubborn to dad lol

[mint coral]

there's like, 1 niche use for troves at high heat

if you ended the combat at really low hp

activate the trove, proc stubborn then leave

the doors don't close during troves

[tacit ember]

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

you can just leave?

[mint coral]

yup

zag even comments on it

[tacit ember]

the rewards only appear once you finish the room

do you mean a different place

[mint coral]

nope

[tacit ember]

bruh what

ill check it out

[mint coral]

you can even get the trove cleared and leave without picking up the stuff from it lol

[tacit ember]

yoo arti tart again

[mint coral]

also niche stubborn stuff

if the reward is a centaur heart and you are lower than 30%, proc stubborn then pick up the hp

is more hp than heart then stubborn

[tacit ember]

bruh what natural athena spawn also lol

i already have arti but i think i should take her keepsake anyway to try to get the duo

[mint coral]

could take early hourglass if it's good

[tacit ember]

❓

woudl i benifit form having hourglass in asph

i think i just take arti keepsake

bruh frick

i got a fountain room with athena in asph

[latent moon]

That sounds rough lmao but if bosses are still the only issue then that kinda works I guess lmao

You could consider using some damage control

[tacit ember]

What a name whatttt

[brisk trail]

Hi

Me too

[scenic mango]

Hey, is rhere any trick for getting Flame Wheel Release to show up in wells? I’m aware that it only spawns in Elysium

[crimson ibex]

Me with Delta Chamber, Tempest Strike and Sea Storm with Exagryph

https://tenor.com/view/i-started-blasting-so-anyway-i-started-blasting-danny-devito-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-blasting-gif-24425727

[hazy widget]

Do you think we'll ever see a switch 2 patch for the original Hades?

[mint coral]

Just bring rerolls and pray basically

If you really want to min max it ig
Turn off dark foresight if it is on and grab as many keys as possible

[royal bobcat]

trying out 32 heat and its not going well
and your guess is it's probably something to do with 32 heat but what if I told you I am in elysium and I have not been offered my 4th god (unless you count demeter which I'm refusing)
and building into a duo boon and have not been offered that boon despite having the prerequisites

another day another needing that mod that disables gods from runs that I dont want and disables boons that I dont need because the game cant do it itself

ya and from what I can see, 32 heat's not impossible, its not hard. if I got hunting blades in tararus I could do it no problem, for sure.

I'm not even shetting on the game rn, its just so impossible to get the things you need on the runs you need it on
I feel like I have to wipe a bunch just to get a decent seed

I wish this game had an edit mode, like this
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1436013405705076807/1440721671446069258/image.png?ex=691f301d&is=691dde9d&hm=bbea619eeaf7de99b7166cd2323a6e068ec2d005db8aa6d9d39a093f7870b9e5&

just beat bull of minos miniboss, ares boon reward, still no hunting blades and now they're trying to give me aphrodite

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1436013405705076807/1440724506049122304/image.png?ex=691f32c1&is=691de141&hm=55ebbbdb769daa4a8b7a1cacab25adbc87d607aa455f7c6e16aad97f923af2a1&
and no attack

[lavish sorrel]

you don't need any particular boon to beat 32 or even 40 for that matter on any aspect. if you're struggling, chances are at least one of your build-choices or your pact need improving, or you don't understand the aspect you are playing well enough, or you are facetanking too much.

no flame

[royal bobcat]

next room is a 2 god room, end up getting the attack, yay, but instead of getting the duo, I get the legendary. I'm not even eligable for any other duos.

I remember when I first started playing this game, getting through theseus and asterius was an impossible feat for me
that was on 0 heat, now I'm on 32, and while I feel the same way, its not cause I'm bad, but because I got nothing
funny how the turns have tabled

[lavish sorrel]

there are helper-guides pinned #h1-high-heat-strategies if that's what you're looking for. 32 heat allows for a lot of random nonsense, with some options obviously being easier to play than others.

[royal bobcat]

I see what you're saying, and its honestly a combination of how I intentionally ramped up the mob difficulty because I knew that hunting blades could handle it

but I don't have that boon

[lavish sorrel]

did you seriously do HL5 JS3 CP2 BP2

[royal bobcat]

I don't know some of those acronyms, and what I do know I don't know what that relates to on the setting

but, you can see for yourself https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1436013405705076807/1440727888570613850/image.png?ex=691f35e8&is=691de468&hm=f356add1df4921236bee82752510014f4c81e75e1e45ddc3f4f9bd62bff2ebe8&

lemme guess, wrong choices?

timer is free heat?

[lavish sorrel]

it's because of this type of pact that people think 32 is absolute hell. I'll say that much.

[royal bobcat]

ya. if your average clear time is just over 36 minutes, its not, since thats 9 minutes x4

[lavish sorrel]

*you can win with basically anything at 32, but some options are significantly harder than others

[lavish sorrel]

brother, maybe, just maybe, your average runtime is 36 minutes because you're running DC2 JS3 CP2

[royal bobcat]

oh no, 36 on 0 heat

or, 1-10

its a big improvement, they used to take almost an hour

[west quarry]

is tidal dash food for sword of nemesis

should I sell for 150, im in elysium, have artemis attack demeter special, ares cast

[lavish sorrel]

yes! Poseidon dash is one of the two almost universally strong dashes in the game (Divine Dash for safety, Tidal Dash + applicable tier-2 boons for damage).

[west quarry]

wait why is it good tho

it just knocks them away

I only beat the game once btw

doing heat 1

[royal bobcat]

to shoves enemies into walls, other enemies, and disrupts doomstone

its probably the easiest to use for ad clear

[west quarry]

doomstone?

[west quarry]

ad clear?

[royal bobcat]

doomstone is the laser miniboss in tartarus

[royal bobcat]

normal enemy clear

cleanup as they call it

[lavish sorrel]

think of it like this:

almost all enemies can be knocked back, though some take more knockback than others. when an enemy gets knocked into a wall, that's a wallslam. it does decent damage. when an enemy gets knocked into another enemy, that's a bodyslam, which is like a wallslam but a fair bit stronger. the more speed the enemy had before the collision, the usually more damage it will take and deal from collisions with other objects.

every non-asphodel chamber has walls. if you can force enemies (preferably multiple at once even for more collisions) into these walls and corners to get more damage than expected.

[west quarry]

oh yea that guy

VERY annoying if u dont have aoe

[west quarry]

hmm alr

thanks

[royal bobcat]

I didnt know it factors in velocity

[west quarry]

do I get shado slash
supernova or hoarding slash from hammer

does shadow slash effect dash strike

[west quarry]

ohh I see

very informative

[royal bobcat]

you're gonna have to ask him, idk what those do (or weapen those are for)

[west quarry]

thank you very much

[west quarry]

shadow slash is 200% extra dmg when striking from behind
super nova is special gets 20% more aoe
hoarding slash is bonus damage equal to 5% of ur coins

[autumn jewel]

hoarding slash is bad because it does not synergize with your boons and you want to spend for boons

[west quarry]

alr, I think jst supernova then?

I have demeter speical

[autumn jewel]

yeah super nova sounds reasonable to me
shadow slash does not apply to dash strike

[west quarry]

alr sure

[lavish sorrel]

@west quarry (for completeness)
the main tier 2 boons you're looking to get for Poseidon dash are Razor Shoals and Breaking Wave.
shoals is strong against chambers with enemies that move around a lot (as is often the case in Asphodel and Elysium), while Breaking Wave lets you demolish any chamber by making any enemy with a lot of health collide with another enemy or wall. Breaking Wave works as well as it does in Tartarus and Styx because the chambers are so small, letting enemies bounce from wall to wall.

[west quarry]

I will never disrespect poseidon dash again 🫡

thanks

I never got razor shoals tho

jus got razor shoals as I say this

[rustic vale]

It’s wholy dependent on velocity

[west quarry]

whats the best special for sword, I got the hammer where the special hits twice

[rustic vale]

any +% special should work fine

artemis/aphrodite/athena are my preferred ones

[west quarry]

I have artemis attack

[west quarry]

athena special deflects right

[rustic vale]

It’s a large amount of raw damage on each dash aside from wallslams. It starts at 35-49 depending on rarity and immediately gets a +21 from first pom and you should be dashing rather often so you can easily pump out a ton of high base damage dashes

[lavish sorrel]

double nova is generally not considered a particularly strong sword hammer, but if you were to want something on there you'd probably be looking for anything that deals %-damage, yeah. aphrodite's does the most damage, athena's is a bit weaker but makes the move more forgiving to use (deflects good)

[rustic vale]

artemis strike also means aphro gives heart rend while athena gives deadly reversal

[west quarry]

good side damage I see

I always thought the number was low and never went for it tho

[rustic vale]

Good enough that sword starts with it over a strike boon for speedrunning

[west quarry]

damn

[west quarry]

yeah since you can deflect from up close right

can you deflect melee attacks?

[rustic vale]

~yes

[lavish sorrel]

you can deflect from anywhere, as long as the thing being deflected overlaps the deflect hitbox. this includes projectiles, most melee attacks, and even some AoE attacks.

(as long as the thing to be deflected can be deflected, of course)

[west quarry]

fr??

[rustic vale]

Iirc

It’s been a hot minute

[mint coral]

The only exceptions are like ground or above traps/beams no

[rustic vale]

I mean just hit a few poms and fix it like

||https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/725021639506526249/1414352599154430164/4F57F790-8195-4F77-9F75-4F985B02F703.jpg?ex=691ed6c1&is=691d8541&hm=e5b8ae4ec22917f745f81c7fc44762e4651e4c39a07bb5e859f23c21abe1ab6c&||

even just the first 1-2 poms sky rockets your damage then diminishing pom values hits

[west quarry]

alr

[timid basalt]

Hi, does only one Vengeance boon trigger at a time? I had Curse of Vengeance (Doom) and Heaven's Vengeance (lightning), but when I got hit 75% of the time the enemy got struck by lightning and occasionally Doom was triggered. Definitely not both at once. (if so, I'll avoid doubling up in the future)

[mint coral]

Curse of vengeance only triggers in an aoe around you fwiw

[rustic vale]

They do trigger at the same time

If you get hit a whole ton at once you can watch a ton of little red auras pop out

[timid basalt]

They were the last two boons I got (from the final area), so I didn't get too much time with them. Thanks for this info! (seems like it might be OK to pick multiple if you don't particularly need the other boons being offered)

[timid basalt]

This might be the missing piece - thanks for pointing this out.

[rustic vale]

those 2 specifically are pretty strong

[tender elk]

My friend just beat his first run and the first heat challenge he enabled is increased trap damage. Poor guy doesn't know what's coming

He just hit Asphodel...

[scenic mango]

Eh, it’s not that bad as long as you keep an eye out for the traps

[mint coral]

Yeah but why gamble on not getting 1 shot by a funny dad pot tho

There are better 1 heat stuff 😭

[cunning niche]

idea: merciful end build with curse of vengeance divine dash and quick recovery

am i cooking

[rustic vale]

I mean it’s merciful end at base so it’s going to be fine

[cunning niche]

no but you dont attack

[rustic vale]

The harder part is getting CoV and Holy Shield in proper order for the funny

[cunning niche]

you just wait

and then u dash to restore hp

so u dont die

[rustic vale]

I don’t think you’re cooking

ME consistency is already bad enough

[gray apex]

You can do a revenge build if you want to afk

[tacit ember]

time to hader

lol i picked hades keep sake since i just got it for fun and i got both athena and zeus in tart so ig im going for athena cast

hades call is so lame bruh

is it just liek athena call or whatever

i googled seems the call gives a damage boost

bruh crap

i wasnt payign attention so i wanted to like reset up with stuborn but just threw the run lmao

im gon try running athena again ig

how do i unlock the heart with dusa

i dont have the option to give her ambrosia

i assume the chaos buff on casts is applied to whatever damage number it has on the current level instead of lv 1

lol than encounter had 55 enemies

i got 49

lmao i got the athena aphro duo and aphro zeus dio in asph

not the athena zeus one though lol

not been chosing boons to force that duo

[tacit ember]

athena cast lokey feels better to play with than hunting rifts lol

dont have the duo still

the base cast is just so cracked

o got the duo in styx lol

hehe

won

got one free athena dd but didnt end up using it

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1394734947180482570/1440886868286771272/image.png?ex=691fc9f7&is=691e7877&hm=3c835b69ab18eebc51c57d1bbf4f1e9de83b09b88de577d2fb85d93eff9985d7&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1104&height=621

kinda funny

[mint coral]

gamer

nice smair there lol

[tacit ember]

vital part of the build

i tried to see if i could get athena call on styx but didnt

how do i unlock the party thing bruh

isnt there a thing where you go around invting the gods to come eat

[mint coral]

Do you have the queen's plan prophecy already?

[tacit ember]

yea

oh do i need to give necter to the gods and stuff

ive not rly been doing that

[swift orbit]

is hades better on controller or mouse and keyboard?

[tacit ember]

im a keyboard fan

ive barily ever played anything with a controller but i feel like keyboard just has alot more stability + more buttons

[swift orbit]

yeah just wondering, i know some games feel better on controler, like 2d fighting games, games like eldin ring

[tacit ember]

some fighting game controllers are very keyboard like

[mint coral]

yeah
all gods take 6 nectar before reaching a heart lock, do their favor and then gift ambrosia and get their bond

[tacit ember]

i think ppl like them mostly for traditional fighting games and i think some do for smash and stuff

[mint coral]

once you have 6 bonds you can proceed

(and demeter counts as 1 of the 6 when she reaches the lock, her favor is the epilogue itself)

[tacit ember]

for instance you can pivot back and forth by just inputting the oposite direction instead of moving the stick form one direction to the other

[tacit ember]

bruh that is gonna take forever

[mint coral]

I prefer controller

for most stuff is just, pick what's more comfortable for you

[tacit ember]

can you move and dash in more angles with controller?

[mint coral]

ye

if you like playing zeus shield/hestia/hidden rail there's def a better upside to kbm tho

especially the latter

[tacit ember]

i just unlocked beo

are you supposed to load the casts after you let go of attack during the charge

or do you do it when you are running around

[mint coral]

I do the latter, is basically a per run thing/practice but you start remembering how many casts you need per enemy

[tacit ember]

im playing around with skelly and i find that if i start charging asap and release im able to pick up the stones form the previous rush and load them during the next rush lol

[mint coral]

oh yeah generally you never load all 3/whatever your max is

so you can do that rhythm of 2-1

also keeps the dmg bonus on rushes

[latent moon]

extremely personal preference, both have their pros and cons and can do things the other can't

but there are multiple top players that use kbm or controller, there isn't necessarily a "best" imo

pick one and stick with it basically

[forest bear]

Desperately need a mashup of Last Words and For Whom the Knell Tolls from Crypt of the Necrodancer. That would go so crazy hard

[rustic vale]

The game tells you as much itself

[rustic vale]

Yep

[crimson ibex]

Is it me or is Than's theme during his encounters kinda sounds like a gloomier version of Good Riddance ?

[shrewd garden]

I'm 50/50 depending on weapon/aspect lol

[indigo grove]

How people beat this game with the bow is beyond me.

I’ve beaten it with every weapon except the bow and my highest heat is 5 (fists).

I do a little better with the second aspect but I just don’t get any enjoyment playing with the bow and I struggle with viable builds

[latent moon]

https://www.leereamsnyder.com/blog/hades-build-guide

basically dash strike only with the bow

charges faster

put aphrodite or artemis for the attack

get tidal dash

twin shot, triple shot hammer

and perfect or point blank

flurry is really good

[cedar crypt]

true ending obtained!! took me 21 runs, i think that's pretty good

[lavish sorrel]

mandatory linking of this pure gold #h1-discussion message

[ivory lark]

I’ve seen some different things online and got curious— which edition of the vinyl soundtrack was more limited? The black smoke or red smoke version? I’m looking to possibly purchase either or but I’ve found both for pretty reasonable prices, figured I might as well go with the more “rare” one

[bright canopy]

I beat it first time today, with the bow so im suprised that for you its the most difficult

I’m gonna try the shield next

[latent moon]

i mean everyone's different lmao

bow tends to be a pretty common dislike but that's generally bc people don't dash strike with it

[bright canopy]

Yeah it felt natural to me, felt like kiting with kalista from LoL lmao

I know some people like the fists too and thats the most difficult for me

[tacit ember]

base bow with no hammers i think does infact feel pretty bad

atleast i cant get much mileage from it

[rustic vale]

Honestly it is

You’re working at like 50% if not worse effectiveness without access to any hammers

while bow has a load of really impactful hammers, if you’re playing without any of them your base damage output is significantly lowered and you miss out on a heap of extra additive damage

[tacit ember]

maybe people try and drop bow early without being familiar with its hammers since its the first unlockable weapon

[rustic vale]

Maybe? partially anyhow

wrapping your head around bow dash-striking with it seems to be a pretty decent hurdle as well

I haven’t really seen too many people who still have complaints with bow after learning to dash-strike and having a handle on which hammers to aim for aside from people who just don’t like the charge-up aspect of it flat out

[tacit ember]

i think i might fall into the camp of not liking charg up

if you have the explosion and tripple hammer you can kinda run up and blast enemies, thats kinda fun

but even then to me bow feels sorta unsatisfying

[boreal forge]

I struggled with some aspects of the bow, but found it super easy to use with the aspect of Chiron.
Add some extra special arrows with hammer, get something stackable on the special like frost or maybe even hangover with a duo boon with Aphrodite or Artemis, and you're set

[austere vessel]

how do i unlock the rest of the weapons?

[mint coral]

Unlock all available to you at the moment > do a run > next weapon will show up

[austere vessel]

ok thanks

[tacit ember]

😭 its 4 am and ive not finished my anki bruh

[tacit ember]

https://tenor.com/view/anki-finished-my-anki-finished-gif-13730202506328597725

[fierce umbra]

I beated Hades for the first time :)

[fluid radish]

I was fighting hades

With his enchantments

Dude spawned 2 SNEAKS and a GIANT BUTTERFLY BALL

Wtf

[autumn jewel]

extreme measures super dad moment

[indigo grove]

I was trying to figure out how to max out my relationship with a few different gods to progress the story, but I’ve had a roadblock.

None of their hearts have locks, but when I go to select their powers I don’t have the option to give them nectar anymore. Do I need to just keep interacting and keep selecting them until I have the option to give them nectar again?

Hermes, aphro, dio, Artemis, ares are the ones I’m working

[autumn jewel]

you gift them ambrosia instead

[indigo grove]

Yeah I don’t have that option it’s odd

[autumn jewel]

do you have ambrosia?

[indigo grove]

I can only select their boons

Yes plenty

So like Hermes, they won’t let me gift him anymore and I’ve talked to him with the plume equipped

Looks like I haven’t completed aphro’s requirements yet

[sonic oasis]

Guys how does one achieve the gift of song fated list thing?

[sonic oasis]

Also is there any purpose in gifting boldy?

[tacit ember]

Pretty sure he gives you a boon or smth

[rustic vale]

He gives a boon that can either be +1-10% strike damage, special damage, cast damage, damage reduction, obol gain, or movespeed, of +2% ambiguity bonus

[rustic vale]

This is the one where you play the lyre 210 times and talk to orpheus isn’t i

[sonic oasis]

Oh alr ty

[sonic oasis]

Yeah I kinda just spammed it out of not knowing so I got it lol ty

[fluid radish]

Frfr

Tbh the game feels too easy now

So im cranking up that heat

I do atleast 16 heat

[tacit ember]

skull

[tacit ember]

em 4 diolauge is kinda funny

they talk about hades being dramatically stronger while all he does is do an extra sweep and throw his spear

i think third phase is the same as 2.2 only with fog

[indigo badge]

the miniboss summons are brutal

also the constant vase spawning isn't a joke

[rancid cradle]

yeah i agree

i suck at movement so the extra hazards around hades is definitely a noticeable layer harder for me to this day

"skill issue" yes but its also a point i suppose

[tacit ember]

i didnt notice there being more pots

[latent moon]

Try it on higher heats

For 4 heat you can just take other things that don't have a chance to kill your run at the end

Either way it's a whole extra phase and a lot more hp you have to burn through, not to mention you're probably on SD and have to pray you don't get bad summons like butterfly ball

[tacit ember]

i ment from a lore perspective rather than gameplay

they talk about how em4 is the level hades was at when he could take down titans and what not

[vivid smelt]

Hello guys, which events have 100% chance to spawn?

[tacit ember]

first run athena, second run zeus, third run hammer

4th run you unlock call i think

[vivid smelt]

I mean, in regular game after beating the game a few times

[tacit ember]

clear 10 you get to skip the hades fight

[lavish sorrel]

a major waste of time is what he becomes due to the extra hp, too

[tacit ember]

999358269422321774

phase 3 hades unlocks pocket sand

[lavish sorrel]

depends. calls unlock when one has met all non-demeter olympians, which can happen at any point

as seen in the "seeded loyalty card" speedrun category extension

[tacit ember]

that reminds me that i havent beaten charon in this savefile yet

charon is so much harder than the zigzagoon fight in hades 2 bruh

part of it might be that there are many more ranged options in 2

[vivid smelt]

I already beat the game, saw the end credits. I need to understand which specific events like Thanatos encounter, Bull miniboss, rooms like Eurydice and fountain rooms have 100% chance to spawn during the run

woah there buddy maybe spoiler mark that 🈷️

[tacit ember]

did you know that the 月radial is associated with body parts

👍

[latent moon]

None of those are guaranteed in a run lol

Bull miniboss is just a 50/50 in Elysium

Any story room (Sisyphus, Eurydice, Patroclus) is just rng

Thanatos also just rng

Fountains rng

There's nothing guaranteed in a run after like the first 4/5 and Poseidon legendary when you unlock the fishing rod

And Demeter after reaching the surface

[vivid smelt]

I know all that. The question is: is there any events aside the bosses that are 100% spawn? Is fishing spots in the run guaranteed at least ones?

[lavish sorrel]

minibosses. and midshop............. usually. (midshop has some restrictions on the chambers it can appear after. if enough of those conditions are met during a biome, the shop can sometimes just not appear. it's pretty rare to miss midshop though.)
no, but given the amount of chambers where a fishing point can appear, you're bound to see at least one in every biome. note that picking up the second poseidon legendary will remove the chamber-cooldown between two fishing points.

note that from a new save file only, the bombers miniboss is the only one that exists in tartarus for a while (until the player gets far enough into the game). you could say that's the truly guaranteed instance of a miniboss in all of hades the videogame.

[hexed hawk]

[proud flax]

I beat <Redacted> for the first time

[latent moon]

try using poseidon cast and getting mirage shot

mirage shot is bugged on beowulf to have 100% instead of 30%

passion flare with priv status is still considered a lot of damage tho

[west quarry]

who is redacted

[proud flax]

How far into the game are you

[west quarry]

I just beat the game for the 3rd time rn

I unlocked the last 2 mirror of night talents which ones do I get

[proud flax]

Oh

[west quarry]

gods pride
gods legacy

fated persuasion
fated authority

[proud flax]

<Redacted> is ||Hades||

[west quarry]

oh alr, I was confused why in the security log it said slain by redacted before

[west quarry]

which ones are better

[indigo badge]

whichever gives more epic boons and whichever lets you reroll boon choices

[west quarry]

so gods pride and fated persuasion?

isnt legendary or duo boons better tho

[indigo badge]

duos are already easy enough to get and most legendaries are worthless

[lament pulsar]

HOLY SH- GUACAMOLE ZAGREUS IS GONNA BE IN INDIE CROSS

[latent moon]

eh

legendaries are too difficult to get bc of prereqs, and most of the time you dont need a duo for a good build

epic hermes and chaos is much more worthwhile

and some god boons really like rarity compared to other boons

[west quarry]

ALR

alr*

[spiral bear]

i'm listening to gluck's orfeo ed euridice right now

is this opera why orpheus has his countertenor voice?

[fluid radish]

Just bested hard mode hades hell yeahhhh

And by hell yeah i mean hellmode

17 heat

Yk stage 3

[mint coral]

Gg

[tacit ember]

Heck mode

[shell herald]

i think i can't use it properly lmao, i'm playing n keyboard and it's a ltrl hell

[rustic vale]

ah I can understand kbm being far more difficulty to aim with

than controller

Especially if you’re trying to play it better, since you’re firing off more shots per second and moving way more if you’re constantly dash-striking

[shell herald]

yes it's ltrl impossible for me to use the bow, i can barely make it to Elysium and i'm like 90ish runs in so far😓

[violet holly]

What is (in your opinion) the worst/best boss in hades 2

[mint coral]

#h2-discussion 👈

[violet holly]

Oh dang my bad I mistook one for the other 💀

[shell herald]

what are y'alls favorite boons?

[lavish sorrel]

[mint coral]

Ofc

[mint coral]

⚡ 🪄

[lavish sorrel]

can't wait for someone nicknamed "Aspect of Beowulf" to eventually come in and post emojis of the three important flood beo boons

[cunning niche]

nice FUNNYORANGEBOON

[ember sparrow]

mfw front facing than

[real ermine]

if any developer see this there is any chance that the god of blood achievement will be added in steam since the god of nightmares achievement in hades 2 is on steam

[lavish sorrel]

not a developer for the game, but this question gets asked in this channel like once per week, and it's not been done yet

so take it as a "probably not, no"
