And the rail and bow aren’t melee?? I mean, idk

autumn jewel
#

bow is a melee weapon

lavish sorrel
#

It's true

autumn jewel
#

no sane individual run sniper shot as a hammer

molten crag
#

Guess I’m not sane

#

It is true though

#

I’m very much insane

#

But it works

#

Ha

#

Haha

#

Hahahahaha

#

Muahahahaa

rustic vale
#

the range you have to be at for sniper shot to work is unholy

#

or wait were you referring to generally using the ranged weapons as ranged weapons

molten crag
#

Both

#

I make it work

#

I’m built different 😎

lavish sorrel
#

confidentlyincorrect. Your standard for "making it work" means clearly is not the same as ours.

tacit ember
#

sweaty players realising they have higher standards than casual players

fossil tartan
#

In case anyone's wondering, Thanatos finally showed up for the first time on my 72nd run....the same run that Persephone decided to come home.

#

that's...an incredibly unlikely coincidence

autumn jewel
#

damn than hates you

heavy smelt
#

Thanatos rarely appearing is so freaking annoying 💔

tacit ember
#

more like thanatos appearing is annoying bruh

#

i dont want to do an extra long encounter for 25max hp and pausing in game time for one chamber

heavy smelt
#

I'm trying to get his companion for the achievements and bro literally NEVER appears

#

It's been like 20+ runs

mint coral
tacit ember
#

pc

#

mouse and keyboard

mint coral
#

Could install the Speedrunning modpack if you really hate Than lol

#

There's an option to disable him

tacit ember
#

i did concider that

#

its not a big enough deal for me ot be bothered

mint coral
#

Fair enough

mint coral
#

I love my igt pause 😌

rustic vale
#

IGT save is the sacred above all

tacit ember
#

gonna play some hader now

#

do yall think zeus special on aspect of zeus + fishing for seastorm is a good idea

#

i wana push for higher heat and i figure zeus shield would be a pretty easy aspect to do it with

#

that or beo lol

#

i think zeus is a bit more fun than beo

#

o i forgot i still have a mirro left to do for that one fates thingy lol

#

hm i think i wil do a christal beam run lol

rustic vale
#

This is just a good idea

gleaming patrol
#

Any suggestions for farming strictly materials? I’m hardly getting any it feels like

tacit ember
#

lol i straigth up lost in ely

#

wow skull issue much

#

maybe christal beam is not very epic

thick wigeon
#

chat

#

does regular attack damage also add damage to dash strike

#

been quite a while since i last played and i forgot

spice valve
#

guys i did it i made it to elysium boss heat 32 because i was at one hp and rushed to the hp items in the shop

#

That was one of the hardest things in a video game i’ve tried

tacit ember
#

explosive or perfect shot on hera

#

i picked perfect

#

i dont rly love explosive

#

but that one prolly better

vast raven
#

perfect is still really nice tho

tacit ember
#

lol aphro legendary in tart

#

i think i just take the attack though

#

but i do need to sell a boon

#

im taking the legendary for funnies

#

hehe 405 cooin

spice valve
#

ok so in 121 hours ive been able to reach elysium boss on 32 heat

#

is that good 😭

tacit ember
#

nooo gettign styxed lmao

#

im not even good at the game so i doubt i can do a 2 min hades even lol

#

third chamber no sack bruh

noble agate
#

Bro really didn't want to lose no more that he decided the total enemies in his encounter would be just 12

rustic vale
spice valve
#

but yea i get that

rustic vale
#

I’ve seen a 2 people jump straight from 8 heat to 32 heat

#

and others who have done all their bounties before they do 32 heat

noble agate
#

The biggest time waster or to keep speedrunning the run is the Styx chambers imo

#

Gotta decide how you want that run to be

tacit ember
#

lol i lost 3 dds to charon

#

but ateast i beat him

#

lol possidon kinda antisynergy

rustic vale
#

his call is decent but like his strike and special are unusable

cerulean radish
#

ive been trying to do a dionysus cast buid for 5 hours😭

rustic vale
#

5 hours is a bit crazy though

cedar crypt
#

i'd imagine dionysus cast is best on hera bow or beowulf shield but i'm not a pro or anything so idk
is this correct

latent moon
#

imo beo > achilles > hera

#

beo bc of bug

#

pom bug bc hera also gets mirage bug from trippy flare

#

but beo is kinda just beo and has big damage

heavy smelt
#

It would have been so cool if once you get the champion of elysium achievement, more shades in elysium have zag's picture in the theseus fight

brisk trail
#

bought the game too late

#

nice to know people are still active here.

tacit ember
granite musk
#

MFW I thought I killed hades and got his third phase, definitely wasn't expecting that, althought, considering everything extreme measures changes for all the bosses, I should have definetly seen it coming

tacit ember
#

if i run zeus shield with zeus special what keepsakes do i take in asph and ely

#

i dont think hourglass is super good for zeus

#

maybe coin pouch

vast raven
granite musk
#

I personally use pom blossom just to make my build stronger by the end

tacit ember
granite musk
#

although, lambent plume could be good too if you can clear stages fast

vast raven
#

and good room clear

tacit ember
#

eh ig the other artemis boons are alright

vast raven
#

and just is effected by all the stuff you are already grabbing for zeus spec zeus shield

#

also PP for crit

tacit ember
#

attack, PP and support fire maybe

vast raven
#

ye

tacit ember
#

but i woudlnt want to crowd the pool for less zeus

tacit ember
#

ill try it

rustic vale
tacit ember
#

wow amazing first zeus

#

bruh i cant get a hang of zeus special on this

#

feels like ares special is much easier

#

i think my problem is managing where the special is

#
  • demiter got offered so many times and not zeus lol
tacit ember
#

actually i dont know how this works

#

is it better to fill the 4 gods faster or slower if you are just looking for one god

lavish sorrel
#

The "avoid all gods you don't need" mentality only works from a new save file becauae for story reasons the game requires zag to have met gods in the run for them to appear in shops

#

So fill the pool as soon as possible as soon as you have all gods you need

#

(Or fill to 3 if you plan on forcing the 4th one next biome)

tacit ember
#

okie dokie

lavish sorrel
tacit ember
#

bruh also i feel like very often i just never get the god i forced with the first keepsake

#

in ely now and only seen the starting zeus and one zeus in trials

#

this is so dumb

#

skull what i got cold fusion

#

thats so dumb

#

maybe htis will blast theseus or smth

#

but my only lighting boon is the dash lmao

#

wow common zeus special pre heros

#

lol somehow beat heros

#

dont think i can do a 5min em4 hades

#

ive gon overtiem for every biome sofar

#

i dont think i actually took any tick damage for hydra, timer ran out just as it died

#

bruhy didnt evne get second chamber

#

1 min 47 for hades

#

lol

#

lol got to phase transision to third

#

died

#

lol

lavish sorrel
#

oh nvm rip

#

wait, may I have a look at your pact

tacit ember
#

yippie i got the bond thingy with dusa

lavish sorrel
#

ok not too bad actually (I was expecting JS3 CP2 nonsense, happens way too often in this server), except EM4, but I'm sure you're aware that one's kinda rough

tacit ember
#

eventually i want to see if i can do both max LC and em4

lavish sorrel
#

you will want to switch to stubborn defiance if you do that

tacit ember
#

iknow

lavish sorrel
#

lovely thumbeline

tacit ember
#

im working on getting a plush

#

i know meg is the meta but i want to use dusa

#

wow this run i got so many zeus so fast

#

and pissidon

#

seastrom erhaps

#

omg i got seastorm as my first boon in asph lol

#

ogmgomgomggomg

#

i got the zeus legendary

#

no jolted yet

#

offerd zeus legendary or rare jolted

#

i think legendary bit better lol

#

why are there like random lighting particles

#

idk what those are

#

maybe thats wha tthe legendary is doing

#

kinda looks like the zeus attack projectiels but smaller

#

amazing pool of purging wow

#

i have that bad rerol one on cuz i wanted to do it for the fates list lol

#

i jsut got rid of sprint

#

no more zeus

#

so no jolted

#

think thats alright

#

nooo bruh sack not even in third

#

easy game

#

allright all things concidered

#

i had a epic zeus attackthat got replaced with ares

#

and i onlypikced up one hammer, the one that made the attack hit twice, but i got rid of it because i figured maybe seastorm would be better

#

bruh dusa not even here

#

ooooooo i foudn her

#

yippie

stable hatch
#

Yall how many wins do I need to see the credits rn I have 9

vast raven
stable hatch
#

Alr

#

What should I use?

#

Imma use bow because it’s the only one I don’t have a win with

#

What’s a good bow build?

tacit ember
#

im very bad at the bow so i will give my input

#

idk arti prolly lol

granite musk
stable hatch
#

Ok

tacit ember
#

"dps build"

#

most builds are about doing large damage

rustic vale
# stable hatch What’s a good bow build?

Honestly aside from whoever you choose for your strike, the main thing is going to be hammers with twin shot >= triple shot > flurry shot >= perfect shot = point blank shot > explosive shot

#

like that’d be my decision making process whenever a hammer comes up

#

and then sourcing as much strike +% and dash strike +% as possible from chaos

tacit ember
stable hatch
#

I’m bouta get out of the first section

#

Now I’m in asphodel

#

Hold on I got 2 duo boons and an epic special Aphrodite what do I pick between sweet nectar, smoldering air, and epic special

tacit ember
#

if your in asph sweet nectar seems pretty good

stable hatch
#

I ended up miss clicking and pressing special

#

I’m in Elysium now

#

Alr hammer room

#

Triple shot

#

Sweet nectar again

tacit ember
#

not worth in ely imo

#

realistically you are gonna get like 3 extra levels

mint coral
#

Even before that, what do you have that's worth pomming

stable hatch
#

There was literally nothing better tbh

mint coral
#

Fair enough

#

Free 400 gold if you can sell it

stable hatch
#

Bruh my controller disconnected and I died to the minasour

#

That might be my first time ever

#

Not even thesus and the minasour just the minasour

stable hatch
#

I’m bouta fight hades with no death defiance

#

Wait he just let me go

bright gorge
iron epoch
#

Theseus's design is perfect bc to me he looks like a man with like a billion past lovers. Like 12/13 of them.

Iope, Aegle, Perigune, Periboea, Phereboea, Ariadne, Phaedra, not a lover but Minos lusted for him, Oedipus, Hippolyta (or Antiope but who gaf about her), Heracles, Pirithous, Hermes (I have evidence).

In Hades you can add Asterius but Thesterius has worn me out. Don't really like it much. My favorite of them was Hippolyta.

Well, walk out of the house, kill, talk repeat, then kill hades. Then die, then repeat.

#

I know, im a Greek mythology enthusiast too

#

But it’s not that deep

tacit ember
#

Which myth is abiut thesesus having one attack total that he cycles

heavy smelt
#

I HATE THESEUS

#

He kidnapped 12 year old Helen of Sparta to try and get her to marry him

old bluff
#

What

#

Wasn’t that Paris

tacit ember
#

why is theseus not stuck to a chair smh

cedar crypt
#

cuz heracles freed him, sadly

tacit ember
#

Does that + healing demiter boon affect stubborn defiance

spice valve
#

holy fk my current fist build is absolutely insane

#

wait does acorn work on hades

vast raven
#

its a boss

tacit ember
#

Why dusa not summoning during hades fight

#

Oh ig I need story stuff lol

#

That so dumb

latent moon
#

I mean

#

Dusa works for hades

#

You're asking the employee to atttack their boss lmao

tacit ember
#

Does that mono dash mirror boost dash boon dmg

#

Doesn't seem like it

#

That's so goofy

#

Eh idk the discription reads like a global buff to me

#

Oh you onky get the boost when you dash before getting hit me thinks

rustic vale
#

it would be so much worse if it wasn’t

tacit ember
#

Is it just me or does possidon dash aoe increase with dash distance lol

#

It's quite noticeable when dashing over pits

flint dome
iron epoch
tacit ember
#

Also I was doing a 32 heat dash only (and call lol) run and died at hades

#

#

😒

#

Hi guys

#

I am wondering if SG will make a patch for Hades 1 for Switch 2

#

I just played a chamber in Hades 1 on my newly bought Switch 2

#

And it runs very much more smoother but it is a little bit blurry on the visual's side

#

Especially Zag's model

tacit ember
#

Is there a v sync option for switch version

#

Maybe try that if there is

#

Whatever the setting is on that makes it look wierd just try the other one lol

heavy smelt
#

Helen can't take a break

#

LMAOOO

old bluff
#

Damn

heavy smelt
#

Not only that

old bluff
#

That’s rough

heavy smelt
#

But during those kidnapping attempts

#

he was also helping his buddy kidnap Persephone cos he wanted her

#

that's why Hades got pissed and trapped them in the underworld

iron epoch
# heavy smelt He kidnapped 12 year old Helen of Sparta to try and get her to marry him

There is a variation where she was sent to live with Theseus to protect her from a stalker suitor, and I prefer it as to me it connects to a trend he sort of has. He saved Periboea from Minos, and he was also sexually harassed by minos. He protected the daughters of Oedipus. He saved the youths of lapiths from the centaurs in the Centauromachy. Even if it ended up being a lie he tried to protect Phaedra.

spice valve
#

the fact that two stygian shards can make an elysium arrow trap do 21600 damage to an enemy is hilarious

granite musk
rustic vale
#

The requirement is just petting him like 20 times or smthing last I checked

granite musk
#

so now I'm working on persephone, hades and nyx

mint coral
granite musk
#

I'm assuming you need to get his 3 statues unlocked to unlock skelly's last hearts, but it requires a lot of heat

granite musk
#

let me check

mint coral
#

No achievement/gameplay related at all

granite musk
#

I don't have his prophecy

mint coral
#

@rose snow talk with persephone until a prophecy called the queen's plan pops up in your list
You need to max out the nectar/ambrosia and receive the bond of 6 olympians (demeter counts as maxed when you reach her lock so is more like 5 gods)

rose snow
#

thx\

mint coral
#

Outside of that you can also work in any other character's bond you care about

#

Or play for Speedrunning/high heat

granite musk
mint coral
#

That wasn't for you

granite musk
mint coral
#

They were asking in new players what to do post credits

granite musk
#

nvm

mint coral
granite musk
rose snow
#

also is there any good way to farm nectar

mint coral
#

I just trade from gems to nectar tbh

#

And dio can give you a free one per run

rose snow
#

with the boon that makes nectar heal you?

mint coral
#

Yeah

rose snow
#

alr

mint coral
#

(is max hp but whatever)

rose snow
#

thx

mint coral
rose snow
mint coral
#

Hmhm

#

All max hp do that

rose snow
#

centaurs soul

mint coral
#

Tbf that one specifies that it doesn't

#

also oh yeah ig that one exists

amber crest
#

Everyone forgets that one exists

rose snow
#

except for me ig

#

idk how i remembered the name

mint coral
#

Is prob the most forgettable charon well item for me lol

rose snow
#

what are the best items you can get from charons well?

tacit ember
#

Most forgettable must be that one that gives more call charge bruh

mint coral
#

Nah

#

Aether's net is goated lmfao

mint coral
#

20 coins for +50% dmg is funky

#

And 50 for another cast

rustic vale
#

movement speed

mint coral
#

More general
Hydralite/light of ixion/touch of styx/ichors/yarn are all good

rustic vale
mint coral
#

And more meme but it can work™: stygian shards

rustic vale
#

hydralite when you have hourglass is just insane healing

mint coral
#

If you have a lot of spare gold talos nail is also really good

rustic vale
#

ngl the real answer is “pretty much every buff, but some of the specifics change depending on what your build focuses on”

mint coral
#

Hm
At least in general I'm less motivated to buy attack/special lol

rustic vale
#

I’m usually playing aspects that can use them more like bow or spreadfire zagrail

mint coral
#

I haven't played 😎

rustic vale
#

Also I think more of what goes into my decision depends on where I am, since I’m pretty much only buying ixion and yarn before elysium

mint coral
#

Oh god yarn how did I forget that

tacit ember
#

💀 Lol I saw a guy with a rising sun on his bag in the train

#

Can we stop selling and or purchasing merchandise with hate symbols

spice valve
#

what is a tier two boon exactly

tacit ember
#

Boon thst has another boon as a prerequisite

#

Boon thst is needed has no prerequisite

spice valve
#

how do we know what needs a presreq

raw herald
#

The codex tells you

#

But a good way of knowing is if a boon only works if you’ve got the status effect from that god

#

Like jolted only does anything if you have a source of lightning

tacit ember
#

But some things are pretty obvious

#

Like for a boon "increase weaken duration by x" you can assume correctly that you need a boon thst weakens lol

#

The exception to this logic is jolted not unlocking double strike, and legendaries usually don't have thst much to do with the prerequisites

lavish sorrel
#

divine dash not opening ME, poseidon dash not unlocking sea storm

#

those often cause a lot of confusion to those unaware of the prereqs

tacit ember
#

What is the intended play style of the hidden fist aspect

#

Seems just kinda bad aside from the dash gimmick

raw herald
#

It is pretty bad

lavish sorrel
#

oh wait that was a typo, wasn't it

#

yeah gilga sucks unfortuntely

tacit ember
#

mybad yea fist

#

i got a rly lucky dash run with gilga, got that possidon dio duo and got 3 amazing hermes boons lol

#

3 extra dashes, hyper sprint and rushed delivery

#

also i realised hermes was why you want that mirror that gives epic chance lol

lavish sorrel
#

not the only one, but yes, hermes dashes/rd is a major part of the reason

cedar crypt
#

gilgamesh is definitely the weakest fist aspect and probably one of the weakest aspects overall

tacit ember
#

lol is that zeus and dio duo worth goin for with beo

#

i assume not

cedar crypt
#

i guess run ruthless reflex instead of greater reflex for gilg? that's my guess

#

run it once for the prophecy and never again lmao

tacit ember
#

i already beat a 32 heat gilga

#

prolly most i care to do

cedar crypt
#

damn lol

rustic vale
tacit ember
#

no

rustic vale
#

😒

#

54

latent moon
#

Esp if you have jolted already

#

You still want mirage shot more but if you can't then you can if you want but it's not like a priority or anything

tacit ember
#

i had dio arti, zeus in mid shop and a forced aphro

#

so i just didnt take zeus cuz i wanted to take possidon later

latent moon
#

Yeah that's smart

tacit ember
#

high octane hades decision making

cedar crypt
#

come on be the first 54 heat clear on gilgamesh

tacit ember
#

lol i think im getitng a visual gltich where the beo rush sometimes looks like the normal shield one

#

idk what causes it

#

im not sure how to reproduce it

rustic vale
#

Without charged shot?

tacit ember
#

just the defualt rush yes

rustic vale
#

Weird

tacit ember
#

i jsut got it again lol

#

im pretty sure it has happend alteast one per biome

#

bruh

#

that run was rpetty good

#

but i used my summon when i was blcoking

#

and it made me charge into the bulls spin lol

#

i didnt realise it would cancle my block

#

is the pom bug on beo exclusive to trippy

rustic vale
#

yes

tacit ember
#

what about trippy makes that happen

rustic vale
#

It’s something between trippy flare and beowulf combined

#

The pom bug doesn’t happen on Hera

#

Ngl some bugs are just super weird and I couldn’t imagine how they occur like the lightning dash sword bug

#

It’s just like a feature

tacit ember
#

idk what the sword bug is

rustic vale
#

essentially if you’re using thunder dash on a regular sword

#

and you dash-strike twice in a row

#

It forces the original direction for the second dash strike

#

you can move anyway you like but the actual direction the sword strikes is the same as the first

tacit ember
#

wow thats so detrimental

rustic vale
#

It’s really weird

tacit ember
#

ooh its just the sword projectile

#

thats strange

rustic vale
#

yeah, but as long as you wait long enough you’re fine iirc the problem happens if you buffer the dstrike

tacit ember
#

lol ive started another run and im still getting that visual bug with beo rush looking like the normal one

rustic vale
#

what exactly does it look like

#

like the shield itself has the wrong skin?

tacit ember
#

i dont think so, since im just playing normally im releasing and not looking at the sheild sprite

rustic vale
#

or have you just not loaded a cast for the size increase

tacit ember
#

but the projectile thingy looks like the normal sheild one

#

its like pointy and stuff

#

not blocky like the beo one

rustic vale
#

no shot you could screenshot or record that for a visual?

tacit ember
#

ill turn on screen recording and see if it shows up ig

rustic vale
#

That sounds like a new bug to me

#

and Beowulf is a really common aspect so I’d be surprised if no one caught it in 15 trillion runs

tacit ember
#

oo i think i actually got it lol

#

erm wait im not sure if the recording worked lol

#

recording didnt end up saving correctly

#

ill keep rolling and im sure it will show up again

#

hm i think it might be the first rush of the encounter

#

bruh for some reason my recording program doesnt want to save recordings of hades

#

aaaaaa

#

bruh i got zeus legendary in tart

rustic vale
#

💔

#

On beo?

tacit ember
#

i was fishing for the dio and zeus duo

#

this is so dumb

rustic vale
#

This makes me want to play eris or zagrail

tacit ember
#

why do i get so many zeus boons when i dont need zeus

rustic vale
#

Give them to me shadesmile

tacit ember
#

bruh i cant be bothered to download obs or whatever

#

but anyway the first charge attack in every chamber is the normal sheild projectile instead of beos but it still works like beos

#

and its jsut the unloaded one

rustic vale
#

Weird

tacit ember
#

i got a recording

#

how am i to send videos here

rustic vale
#

just dm it to me it’s

#

faster atm

#

oh you got it

mint coral
mint coral
#

you only get the extra aoe with a cast loaded

tacit ember
#

no i just rushed

tacit ember
mint coral
#

oh

#

oops

#

funny

tacit ember
#

🤷‍♂️

mint coral
#

beo moment

tacit ember
#

lol i just had funny hades diolauge

#

splash screen on run start

#

smth about mortals quickly becoming men and meg accelerating that for zag

#

what is he implying bruh

#

oof camber 1 hammer offered erib gate with arti and chamber 2 my keepsaked dio

#

i think i take the gate to lock in arti for the pool

#

lol gate had like one skull and one witch what

#

idk how forcing gods works exacly so maybe i just dont get the dio anymore

#

i will see

#

o dio showed up pog

#

hm one thing about charge shot i dont like is that i can no longer just release the charge into attacks and projectiles

#

lol the dusa summon is so bad

#

but ill keep using it

mint coral
#

and it stays active until you actually take the boon

tacit ember
#

nice

#

so i think i made the correct choise

#

ok i had a decision making moment

#

i coudl chose between hermes, first, heart i think, and eurydice

#

but i had 1 encounter left of chaos that damaged me when i cast

#

i get one extra stone from that

#

im pretty far into asph so i took hermes instead of eurydice so that i woudlnt have to go into hydra with chaos

#

🤷‍♂️

#

yippie and that ended up being the last chamber before the shop

#

so smart gamming

#

damn bruh i almost died to first chamber in ely

#

omg that run was crazy

#

beo is so fair aspect

#

also insane luck bruh

#

one attack of all my casts was enough to phase hades pretty sure

#

im not sure if that dem "when you have no stones" one applies here but like thats free 30%

#

its actually unclear to me if rushed delivery was applying since you have to charge the attack

#

i feel like prolly?

#

way strong regardless

#

beo is so fun because of stuff like this, but feels kinda cheap lol

#

omg unlocked fricking scene

#

o nvm she left

#

lame

tacit ember
#

wow rama with the tripple hammer is so nice cuz of the giant projectile

#

o i forgot to purchase boiling blood lol

#

free dmg im missing out on

Oh I use a controller

o lol

wanton zealot
#

Physically plugged in, not even Bluetooth.

#

I’m a refined mobile gamer lol

#

Touch screen was rough

tacit ember
#

nice first clear

#

fists is the hardest weapon for me

wanton zealot
#

Did it on Switch 2 as well.
I should play with the new pro controller more often, those back paddles would be great for dodging or your cast, or both

wanton zealot
#

Just go all in on the lambent plume from the start of the run. Get that dodge percentage as high as possible

#

The worst part is having to dodge practically non-stop

#

Whilst attacking

tacit ember
#

ive not tried it, my probelm is that im just too greedy during the hades fight when i should be dissengaging

tacit ember
#

like you should really just be counting the ammount of attacks you can get in in hades' down time but with fists its just not so convininet to count

wanton zealot
#

Just gotta anticipate his attacks

tacit ember
#

like for example you can always get in 2 sword rotations after hades spin

wanton zealot
#

My call is Athena

#

If I didn’t have Athena call though I would have to time his ultimate attack and hide behind a rock

tacit ember
#

that attack actually doesnt have a hitbox right next to hades

#

there are some details someone else could explain to you better but you can just stand next to him and you wont get hit

wanton zealot
#

That’s so scuffed lol

#

I would still get hit though as I don’t like to let up if I know I have the health to finish him.

#

And with my typical Malphon build, I need to dodge to increase my attack output

tacit ember
#

the empty dash has iframes but the dash attack doesnt

wanton zealot
#

What’s funny is I didn’t expect to like Malphon, until I seen its potential

#

Yea, my typical Malphon build revolves around dash strike

tacit ember
#

so you should try to save a dash and stuff for dodging when applicable and do the dash attack combo when applicable

wanton zealot
#

Or I can keep doing what I do because it kills hades consistently? I don’t need advice

rustic vale
wanton zealot
#

I was giving you Malphon advice since it is your worst weapon

tacit ember
#

its more just if the build is good enough hades gets steamrolled

wanton zealot
#

I’ve killed hades 4 or 5 times with Malphon in total. Most of my clears are just on a game save I can’t access

tacit ember
#

as far as FF goes though you still have to play kinda good to beat hades lol

rustic vale
#

I mean building properly is a fundemental skill of Hades

#

plus FF is a massive skill difference from regular low heat gameplay

tacit ember
#

no harm in learning the fight

rustic vale
#

I think I just have to mostly baked in as like muscle memory atp

# fringe carbon why are hera, apollo, hephaestus not in the game

'Why did you include minor deitys like hermys in hedes but not major ones like hera or hafestus'

We wanted a mix of those big iconic names from Greek myth, such as Hades and Athena, and also some less-well-known ones such as Hypnos and Megaera. Part of it is just... the canon myth around some of these characters is so fascinating that it's kind of shocking to me they're not portrayed in media more often. Primordial Chaos is my favorite example of this... the idea that everything sprang from Chaos is like straight out of a heavy metal album cover, and in a story that's ultimately about family, having the great-great grandparent in there made a lot of sense.

The game also is about a specific story, so a character like Demeter has way more of a connection to it inherently than a character like Apollo. Even though Apollo is way better known than Demeter, we opted to include characters that fit the story best. Tisiphone, Alecto, Patroclus, and Demeter were characters we didn't always think would end up in this game but made more and more sense as we moved forward.

What are the policies on the use of Hades OST for content creation?

I do not recall a single instance of someone being copyright-struck using hades music. the only case where it happens sometimes is the post-dadfight ambiance sounds

those regularly get muted in twitch VODs

damn did a 45 heat run died to hades last phase lol

i think my pact was kinda bad so i was also running out of time

i put on that one that gives those sheilds or whatever but maybe i should have used calistenics program instead since beo does so much damage already

or if i was good at the game i would just put on more hard labor lol

spice valve
#

why did it say bounties still available at 0 heat, and the second term is you wont earn any more bounties

mint coral
#

So you can "skip" it

#

If you finish your bounties (20 heat) the game will remind you if there's 0 heat left

spice valve
#

well it says no more bounties for this weapon

#

so after 20 heat there's no more?

mint coral
#

Correct

#

It caps at 20 in normal mode, 25 on hell mode

spice valve
#

oh

spice valve
#

like why is 0 heat still there for styx

Normally you can't get heat 2 bounties if you haven't cleared heat 1 right

The same doesn't apply from 0 heat to heat 1

#

anyone know how to beat hades 1 have defeated the main bosses of 2 with umbral flames

cedar crypt
#

anything in particular you struggle with?
hades 1 earlygame is definitely rougher than hades 2 earlygame so don't feel bad if you're progressing slower than in hades 2

cedar crypt
#

elysium sucks yea

pearl moon
#

by the time I reach hades I don't have any revives anymore

#

also the fcking poison

cedar crypt
#

uhh idk tips for every single elysium enemy but
for the elysium champs, hard focus asterius before going for theseus. if you're not using shield, the best way to avoid asterius's bull rush is to dash straight through a pillar to bait him into running into it. if you have a greater call or spare summon, save it until theseus calls down a god.
as for poison, keep track where the antidote wells are whenever you encounter enemies with poison and rush to them asap if you do get poisoned. pause if you need a second to look around

mint coral
#

The other styx solution is poseidon dash or cast + breaking wave

#

Also take the miniboss tunnels first

cedar crypt
#

keep a healthy distance from chariots and flame wheels obviously, but also from brightswords cuz they have an unreactable melee attack

mint coral
# pearl moon elysium for the most part

Archers just play around the pillars/walls nearby if you see the target on you
Shields = bait attack and dash through them
Flamewheels = lead into walls so they explode or use your casts

cedar crypt
#

athena's deflecting abilities, especially divine dash, make splitters wayyy easier to deal with
take voidstones out asap ofc

mint coral
#

Usual copypasta for heroes

cedar crypt
#

divine dash in general is goated

granite musk
cedar crypt
#

most people regard the miniboss chambers to be generally easier than the regular encounter chambers so definitely take both minibosses first cuz there's a good chance you'll agree lol

not to mention the better rewards

#

oh agreed
satyr miniboss sucks and i hate him

granite musk

so I try and avoid him at all if possible

I mean, I can handle the rat miniboss, the vermin one and the crystal one easy-ish, but that satyr is the bane of my existence

for tiny vermin i hang out on the opposite side of the hole in the center from where he is and he usually only reaches me when he burrows. in which case i just dash to the other side lol

I’ve restarted Hades for the third time and it’s really interesting because instead of “playing Hades” what I’m really doing is playing a meta game of seeing how quickly I can condense everything so as to get all of the end game stuff as quickly as possible. Like I’m routing a speedrun in real time

knotty crag
primal compass
knotty crag
tacit ember
#

you get like 14 or smth blood in total

#

there is one for escaping with every mirror and one for escaping with eveyr heat option

knotty crag
#

Oh wow, please share

tacit ember
#

i dont remember what the names were called but just take a look at the list of minor prophecies

#

the mirror one is way easy, just turn the mirror options to the side that you dont usually use

#

assuming you have cleared atleast one run with your usual set of mirror thingies you will get the prophecie if you just turn everything around

#

and the other one is escaping with every heat option

#

do note that there is one heat option that turns off your mirror so you wont get the ones that got turned off for the mirror prophecie

#

so i would do 2 runs

#

one with cover the mirror prophecie with half of the heat options on and another run with the other heat options

knotty crag
#

Also, do I get any combat buff maxing friendship?

tacit ember
#

or rather

#

with a bunch of options at lv 1 it isnt that bad

primal compass
#

In addition to what they’re saying, if you run Dio you can overstock on ambrosia fairly easily and make the broker a good source

tacit ember
#

in this settup above i think if you take away the 20% + speed it would be alright

tacit ember
#

you would pick the + speed option with stuff that doesnt buff enemies, like idk minibosses have a friend, clear bioms in 9 min, items are more expensive etc

tacit ember

gonna do a 50 heat attempt lol

Aspect of Rama, but that was a year ago, I returned yesterday and trying to get the blood to max the rail gun

tacit ember
#

i would get aspects that work well at low levels

#

well i did do this

#

i would suggest getting the aspect of zeus on the sheild

#

levels boost the damage the sheild porjectile itself ticks for but that is a very low part of your actuall damage

primal compass
#

Have you tried dodging?

tacit ember
#

if your running eris or whatever the damage bonus is too significant to not level it

Tbf if you are gonna attempt 50 I'd expect you to have a few maxed aspects dusa

do take into consideration that the highest heat I ever got was heat 15

#

I'm just curious

tacit ember

Bruh am I not supposed to have em4 on lol

granite musk
#

I just like putting it on because it makes the end fight epic as hell

lavish sorrel
#

Some aspects handle it better than others for sure

granite musk
#

to be fair, I agree that it's probably not optimal, but I'm not an optimal player

tacit ember
#

If I turn off em4 I would have to chose so many stinky things

tacit ember
#

Like the anti mirror one

granite musk
#

I would much rather have em4 than anti mirror

lavish sorrel
#

It gets viable from like 50 onwards. But this "requires" the consistency settings (AP, RI) to stay off to give the player a build quickly and to stay ahead of the curve. If you're running AP0 RI0, run EM4 all you want. Otherwise, you may have trouble keeping up with timer or beating EM4 even time-constraints aside (due to the fight's difficulty and occasional unfairness).

granite musk
lavish sorrel
#

Well, what is the rest of your pact?

#

If you have calisthenics or jury summons on, I am not surprised you are struggling on time.

granite musk
#

I'm building up to more of each, but right now I'm doing heat 15

lavish sorrel
#

Oh. Ok yeah you need some practice then. Soon™ wmicletsgo

granite musk
lavish sorrel
#

That first and last point feel related, combine them into 1 smugBoi

Also, meg is the summon to look for when going fast. Skelly's companion has a niche (hitless/damageless), but heat (in the majority of cases) or speed ain't it.

granite musk
#

btw, quick question, but if I have an erebus gate that will increase my health, does it give me more than +25?

lavish sorrel
#

Ere heart gives 50, yes

#

Like the styx miniboss versions, and same goes for all other erebus rewards

granite musk
#

welp, I haven't seen meg in the house in a while, so that's an issue

tacit ember
#

With em4

#

But I'm not sure if my pact is that bad actually

#

It's ap instead of ri

#

And max convinence fee and calisthenics

#

I'm kinda just rolling rng to be able to steamroll hades with beo lol

granite musk
#

calisthenics is max health and jury is enemies per room right?

#

I need to stop going into erebus rooms when I have the fists as my weapon, I keep messing up by getting hit

lavish sorrel
#

You have no idea how much harder you're making it for yourself by making rooms harder and having less rarity/rolls

tacit ember
#

how i get to 50 heat bruh

tacit ember
lavish sorrel
#

I suggest HL5 LC4 CF2 EM4 BP2 MM UC FO2 HS TD2, and then pick between RI2 and AP2

tacit ember
#

😳

#

ri and or ap 2 bruh

#

thats so stinky

#

i think ri2 seems less stinky

lavish sorrel
#

If you were on an aspect that can handle Damage Control you could just DC2 to get +2, then like +1 from JS1

lavish sorrel
tacit ember
lavish sorrel
#

To be clear you can also JS3 C1/2 but this causes a lot of BS in rooms so I'd advise against it

#

And this being high heat, rooms are often more dangerous and time-consuming than bosses

tacit ember
#

my issue so far has been not having enough damage to beat hades before deadline

lavish sorrel
#

Well, RI0 will help with that a bit

#

And NOT HAVING JS3 CP1 (the ultimate timewaster heats) even more so

tacit ember
#

maybe i take off 2 levels of jury and put on approval lol

#

prolly not a good idea

#

rng would be crazy though

lavish sorrel
#

one can also technically AP2 RI2 and run aphro cast (high rarity- and pom-scaling), but that does not pair too well with the EM4 idea.

#

^ to be clear, there is more than one way to play high heat (below like 53), this is just the theory I have the most reasons to believe in
