but thats a whole other discussion
i kinda like nyx! She is nice to me
but the darkness stuff creeps me out a bit
Hades Needs Moms
^
But too be vaguely mysterious is a dislike is a no no in my books
yea thats understandable
But yea i hope everyone is having a great time with the game
i just love everybody in the house of hades
never thought hell could be so wholesome
thats something i always liked about hades opposed to hell
its not particularly a place where evil people go when they die
Yea
Thats why in a sense of religion of not Christian belief where it seems not so bad if you didn't do anything wrong
Like most of the time i see the sprits they diead of old age
lol
that reminds me of norse Hel
a lot of old people get sent there because they didnt die an honorable death
but im getting off track here
Yea theirs two types of hel in norse myth
Theirs one for normal people and one for warrior's and kings
I could be wrong tho
Cause its hard for norse myth to be 100 fact
So you always have to take it with a grain of salt
Hel is like, typical underworld
And then there are the great halls Valhalla, and another one I cant remember the name of
The great halls are the ones people who died an honorable death go to
Yea
Aphrodite is T H I C C
I hope so
chimera too
I’m thinking we’ll run into typhon
Curious
Is the next content update thing (30 days or so) the next major patch, or the next patch in general
oh god
typhon is literally impossible to depict visual without making him much less cool haha
would still love to see it though
in fact I think it actually fixed a bug I was trying to replicate xD so its going well
those seem like safe bets
Major patchs include new content and such, minor ones are just for balance and bug fixing
I wonder how many more areas there will be
same im curious as well
Hmm
any other monsters?
oh
harpies
idk if theyre already in the game im not to to far
hmm yeah
maybe an enemy gorgon
Or an actual medusa
Ah sorry i don't know much of greek stuff
all good haha
Medusa, whose gaze could turn anyone to stone.
Stheno, most murderous of the sisters.
Euryale, whose scream could kill.
they knew
the greeks were setting their myths up as video games enemies
does the "next boon" effect of the god keepsakes only affect the beginning of the run, or does it refresh after each section when you get to switch keepsakes?
Or you could have two perks at a time
also we could see a griffon? Or a Hippogriff, Manticore, a satyr or any of those other multiple animal in one types
definitely some of those
its somewhat more unlikely than if they had went with the original Labyrinth theme
scyla
scylla?
not sure how you spell it
would be cool to see sirens as well, and nymphs
since we are in Hades it limits the amount of creatures that will show up
not really haha
Hades has to call in professionals to take care of his son
most of what we've seen isnt exactly hades related that much in terms of enemies
Well its dead enemies yknow
dead witches n stuff
and then literal skeletons
not to say we still couldnt
i dont think the hydra was every explicitly stated to be part of hades
but it depends on how they will portray elysium
so i think that shows our options arent limited
i thought the implication was they were mostly ghosts and such
and im okay with them breaking the lore a bit if it means we get more enemy variety
Yeah
for the pedants out there
enemy variety is one of the most important things in a game for me
especially rogeulikes
if im gonna be repeating the same thing over and over i dont wanna see the same enemis over and over
then we MIGHT be seeing it
honestly uou shouldnt worry about the lore
as its clearly not meant to be accurate but a supergiant spin on it
so I think its pretty much anything goes if they can think of a reason for it
im okay with them doing their own thing
I mean yeah, but from what I kinda get from it it almost seems like they have the starting point
mythos can have a lot of dumb stuff
and then they expand past it
I get the impression that as long as it fits within the general framework of greek mythology, perfect accuracy is probably going to take a backseat to enjoyable gameplay and mechanics
the hydra is a bone hydra, so its sort of like "undead" I guess
is dusa dead?
yeah killed by perseus
And also didn't Hercules kill those monsters?
a lot of the rest of the household isnt dead
hercules killed hydra
perseus killed medusa
iirc
but i guess if she is actually medusa and not just a meme name reference haha
correct kimo
a lot of the house hold might not be dead
but they are already chthonic deities
like achilles, a human warrior
deadzo
hypnos? not dead
meg, not really dead
umm
yeah and monsters dont go to the same place as people either I think
the game is pretty fun, i thought it would be more annoying with the constant dying but with the way the story kinda continues with it its pretty cool.
meg is one of the most different from the source material, which is fine
cos she is doink
Well my boy Z says stuff like "You want to kill you again?"
so i think the monsters we kill are the same as us
i think using the shield with a few of the dashing abilities is kinda cheese though
they are made to come back and keep roaming tartarus
like zeus lighting can quicker recharge on shield
rougelites are all about the cheese tbh
first rougelite so i wouldnt know any better
be cool if you could have two weapons for strategy though
the ammo magic to me feels kinda week, since the best way to kill is to hit them into a wall
Casting is broken with the right boons
two weapons would be too much
they'd need to gut them all and rejig the mechanics to make two weapons the default
sigh, i guess
boons wouldnt work well with it either
Yeah as the game is right now it’s kinda balanced around certain weapons being better in certain situations while worse in others
That too yeah
is there a better way to use the magic ammo stuff though or am i right
Artemis cast is downright absurd with the right boons
posidon can be amazing aoe too
And Zeus chaining
had it doing like 190 damage to everything in a massive area
Base cast is pretty weak yeah
so good at dealing with those dumb skulls
But the boons can be great
zeus lighting and dash for me is the best, hard to hit and fast
Yeah, that's his best boon
aphro is the only better one imo, espcecially if you have the do more damage to weakened enemies
But you can have his boon one more than 1 thing
Artemis cast with proper luck can one-shot most everything that currently exists in the game
can someone explain the heart mechanic when you are in the hub world. i get that you get gifts from them if you give them a gift but do the more heart they have for you mean anything?
Well, technically it’s multiple hits but whatever
I'd rank Athena, Zeus and Aphro dash boons to be roughly equal
With Artemis being maybe the best boon for spear
Since that crit on spear special is really nice
I’ve never actually taken Athena dash come to think of it
its nice on everything lol
especially power shot on the bow
so much single target damage
mhm
Athena dash is really useful against witches and bombers
Yeah Artemis dash crit is nutty with bow
god i hate those bombers haha
Deflecting bombs back is so satisfying
the fat guys are the worst
yeah, the pots, i believe, are wretched thieves or something like that
mhm
with that said, you can use epic Zeus dash as your primary source of damage
definitely up until hydra at least
Yeah
My first hydra kill was with Zeus dash
Just upgrade it a bunch and take the keepsake that lets you dash though enemies.
Which one is that? I believe there's one that lets you walk through enemies, but I assumed that you can dash through enemies by default
also, I'm pretty sure you can even dash through walls
Yeah'
Certain enemies will block your dash
Like the Hydra
Nyx allows you to dash through those enemies
artemis dash makes dash-attack bow stupid good
I guess the game treats hydra as a big piece of furniture as well as an enemy
oh sure, I'll take a 250% damage boost when I power attack after a dash! why not?
Eh, I had some trouble getting used to artemis dash / attack with bow
especially when you actually dodge an attack by dashing and game enters bullet time for a moment
really hard to get your charged shot timing right
needs better picture though
I mean, what's up with all these people wearing the same kind of wavy cloak - Charon, Artemis, Sysiphus...
Orpheus, too
Yeah I think most of the cloaked figures are placeholder
Just finished the early access! Thanks to Aphrodite OP Boons!
is the max number of hearts you can have 75?
oops then I should have reported a bug a while ago ig
I think I got two centaur hearts but it stayed at 75
don't remember when it happened 😂
ty 🙏
Is there a wiki up for this game yet
there is but it’s a little bare-bones atm
Could you link me please so i can bookmark for later, googling it doesn't give much since the name is rather.... common.
Welcome to the Hades Wiki! The online encyclopedia based on the rogue-like dungeon crawler video game Hades currently under development by Supergiant Games.
Tyvm
Bought the game yesterday and I've had tons of fun so far. Made it to Hydra this morning but got absolutely demolished :<
dangit the epic launcher wont sign me in
lol
Does the game end after asphodel curerently?
Ask this in spoiler channel
That one garmfield video but with zag and hades
"Jumping through the window as usual" "I escape hell father, its what i do"
almost made it to boss in asphodel 😦 so close!!!
Hello 




Excuses in advance, but: are there Ashley and Darren in OST?
Ashley will almost certainly show up in some of the songs at a later date
If not we'll all riot
They are already there (on youtube) or will apear in game/ost later?
Darren composed the songs
Asking in case of spoilers in OST XD
The music is porbably not all done yet
As I met with Pyre (my fault, but still)
The full OST isn't out yet
And I haven't heard any music with speaking parts yet, so being spoiled isn't an issue as of right now
Got it, thank you!
Have y'all ever played Herc's Adventures?
the most mythologically accurate game tbh
I have some speculations when it comes to Ashley. I don't know if speculation is right word for that though. It's more of a hope than speculation right now
Also Lament of Orpheus has vocals, if that's what you mean by speaking parts in song, but there are no spoilers in it as far as I know
Well, they did change Pyre OST to contain the most spoiler-less versions of the lyrics on youtube
what happens when you give the npcs more than one gift?
it makes them like you more and will eventually trigger additional conversations for some of them
some of them don't have all that dialogue/progression written yet though
Thought so
Skelly best boy
Meg best girl and I will die on this hill haha
You are valid
Is there any point to all the ghost rambling?

morning everyone 
zagreus is my boyfriend
in Tartarus it should be around that too! Eu after all 
Nah there's no time there
Its 11:24pm at my end
Howdy Y'all
Howdy patner
Fellow Aussie?
oi oi oi
Yea im aussie
Brunch is a real thing though
so is dinfast if you believe
and thank goodness for it
HFHFHG
@vestal lodge you need to know my phone tried to fill in "thank goodness for morgan" here
Dinfast is just a speedrunner eating dinner during a 30 second cutscene
dinfast is when its 3am and youre Hungy
SAME 3AM......ITS THE UNKVERSAL DINFAST HOUR
I actually have a sleep schedule so I'm never awake at 3am unless I'm sick
I've never had a midnight snack tbh
@small nest Yes, currently the game is only available through Epic.
awh, I'll have to wait a bit then :( thank you
3AM is the perfect time to have a krabby patty
I havent watched spongebob but meg has some squidward vibes
lool
Wow I uninstalled he epic launcher temporarily because it wasn’t working and it automatically deleted the jades game files too without telling me so uh
Watch out for that one
Jades is my new favorite SSG game
Hopefully it didn't delete the save files
cuz no cloud
jades......
Cerberus is a massive three-headed dog, charged with guarding the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from escaping. He is a household pet and companion for Hades and Zagreus, and he is a...
Any Hades fanart around? Dusa is just crying out to be my new favourite meme!
can I provide constructive criticism ven
check #fan-works
In #fan-works !
ok so basically. I’m fanworks
we have matching shirts that say "check fan-works" and "i'm fan-works"
oh my god you're right
you guys are genius
it's done
yes......
I'm out of time for tonight but the wiki's up from like...10 pages to 19, all with codex text and images
👏 👏 👏 NICE
Thank you very much. I'm going to check that tonight 👍
some of the boon charts are missing but i didn't make those in the first place lol
i have screencaps of all the enemies and items in the codex too that I'll........get around to. someday
u mods are nais gais
Is it just me or does Zag sound like Trevor Belmont
tfw you have 500+ obol
and you want to spend it all on that one particular item
but an armored skelly just boops you.
i know the feel all too well 😔
it just didnt spawn for me for the longest time
and turn on a dime haha
coinpurse and deep pockets sure do help tho
Did it without both of those even, so slightly salty about it. Ah well, another run.
In the meantime I got the rose to remind myself.
Do any of you know whether the Coronacht(Bow) has a life regain ability like the sword on thrust?
the only HP regen thing i've seen is the one on the sword
I feel the sword has the least interesting moveset, significantly prefer the others over it.
I haven't played with it much, how does the regen ability work? Cos that sounds very interesting 😮
i think sword can work well with hyperchop and certain zeus+athena boons
but it won't be a spear-level cakewalk
regen is on every thrust i think?
not as good as you would think
Hmm, alright, thanks.
Currently trying to get used to the bow still. Just hasn't clicked yet, but hey.
I still can't decide if Dusa being so moe is annoying or not.
oh my god, Moedusa
is that intentional
maid dusa
i have no idea what moe means to be honest
like anime cutesy
shes just shy i like her
esp. when they have a big ol' stuttering crush on the protagonist
ok but have u looked at him, who wouldnt
i mean, fair
she can't have him he's mine
Zag just said "I feel fabulous". Sry but his ship now is Achilles.
I like that the representation of medusa in this game has her being constantly petrified when she sees you rather than the other way around
bold of you to assume there was a point where i didn’t ship that
it always was!
the wiki says there's a total of -1 editors
Huh, it said 7 earlier
unfortunately the negative eighth editor showed up and now you owe one editor
I gotta get around to adding info boxes to the wiki
uh
whats aphrodiotes relation to zagreus?
cousin?
aunt
aphrodite is an OOOLLLDD deity
time of titans deity iirc
Ah nice
she was also a warrior goddess in sparta
So is Aphrodite Hades sister?
i think the sibs are aphrodite, zeus, hades, right?
just from whos said what in game idk myths
nyx+hades i assume? so theyd share a father by blood
i can only assume hypnos gets his being super annoying from his dad
I dont think Hades is his father
Moreso just like, brothers because theyve lived together and were raised by the same person
Wiki says Hypnos father is Erebus the god of darkness
ohhhh
It’s weird because aphrodite is technically the daughter of Uranus
Which would make her Zagreus’s great aunt
I'v seen some pictures from my friend which describe the relationship of greek gods.
And it is really a complex network…
Trying to find these pictures but they are not in English version.
God I wanna post that Zeus meme so bad right now but I can’t
thank you for your restraint 🙏 hgjhghj
There are six gods descended from the Chronus and Rhea, the titans. They're Zeus, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, and Demeter. Aphrodite is generally assumed to either be born from seafoam, or a descendant of Zeus. Hope that's helpful!
Probably a good idea haha, she is a tricky one
Until supergiant maybe confirms a family tree or something of the sort
His job in myth or in game?
I'll take both
hfhfhj the sleepytime tea but its hypnos on the cover
in the game his job seems to be seeing to the shades lined up in front of hades
I guess he was a bit of a jester in the Trojan war
his clipboard has people’s cause of death written on it
Did some trickery on Zeus that the latter never found out
Hypnos is basically the April Ludgate to hades Ron Swanson
The best assistant because they get nothing done
his job is sleeping on the job
😂
hypnos os my beautiful son
i feel like this is excellent advice for all of us https://i.imgur.com/5sBRpdP.png
i say that cause I am hypersomniac
truly the best advice
zag is the college kid inside all of ud
strong contender https://i.imgur.com/pLCdJYG.png
DONT TEST ME BOY
hades likes one (1) Olympic god and its dionysus cause he brings him vodka
also dhshsbabsbsbsb
Oh I really want transfer student gods from other religions
Just imagine some Norse asking Zag why is he not wearing armor during combat
thor: why do you fight shirtless little man
zag: i am a demigod, I do not need armour
slurp slurp
Puts them in his chest
because cerberus on his shoulder?
aphrodite calls him godling
im not too far
sorry physics are messing up my thought process
mild spoilers yes
Dionysus is a demigod
cerberus is lonely because all dogs go to heaven
i aim to please
Lol
its fine......... he has zag at least...... wait... :(
cerberus is in the house of hades but what’s on Zag’s shoulder?
not serious
though tbh i hope i dont need to fight cerberus to escape
belgo nO 😭
Im not gonna be ready for that feels trip
like MAYBE he'll appear as a boss but like. have the option to just get past him peacefully
somehow
or just don't meet him at all
I remember he is the son of Zeus and a human princess?
And he is another Zag.
as he was growing up except for his heart
Zagreus was killed by titans
And Zeus put Zags heart in a women who gave birth to Dionysus with it
Not sure if that woman was a god or not
But Zagreus was originally born to Persephone and Zeus
sgg was brave enough to dip into greek mythology and now they must pay the price
lmao
Can it be the ending of the game?😭
I'm fine with them doing whatever they want with the mythos
Greek mythos is reaaal messed up
So they can mold it to their preferences
Yeah, Greek mythology is frigging bonkers.
Zag‘s body died but he revive
at least they got it down
wtf

She died because Hera gave her the idea to ask to see Zeus in his full glory.
And it reduced her to cinders, so he had to put the not quite born child in his thigh for a while.

Welcome to Greek mythology, it be whack.
Perseus was born because Zeus seduced an imprisoned princess in the form of a shower of gold.
🙄
But mythology in general is weird.
Like, not just Greek. Norse mythology has not just Loki and the eight legged horse, but how Frey gave up his sword for a lady.
you: explains whack greek mythology stuff
me: oh this sounds like gmod videos on crack
it's ok i think it's fascinating but in an undescribable way
as long as I get Dionysus and Apollo I’m happy 
It took until my late teens to realize how NSFW and what the heck it can be.
hades is going to be the veggietales of greek mythology
If we get Dionysus, he better be sleeping in at least one of the boon dialogue boxes
... horsepucky.
With how much DEATH happens?
No, Titan Quest is the veggie tales of Greek mythology.
I never learned about the amount of gay content until I was teen but I was always aware about how wild it was
Yeah, same here, Tina. But I was also reading children's books, which colors it.
I have this super professional book by a professional dude that is like dictionary of all Greek myth name and i read like? All of it and was never bothered by the amount of of violence but he NEVER talked about lgbt stuff
Right?
like he called Hyacinthos Apollo's best friend
... just guys being dudes.
JUST A COUPLE OF GUYS BEING DUDES
I dont even remember ganymedes
Just a couple of dudes being GUYS
but it was also very straight
Show me your [REDACTED] Patroclus
show me your fighting skills patroclus haha were straight
xmajjahekjqjznsjdysnwbska
Oh God, I remember referring to Ganymede, I didn't question 'Zeus liking him so much he picked him up to be his cupbearer.'
he carried those Plates well
Good posture
I need to reread the book but 8 have two books on evolution I wanted to read
I visceral remember one uuuh puzzle my classmates were doing on free class and they asked me about lover of Poseidon. And when I said I only remember his male lover name they just..... died.
I remember there was a korean animation about greek myth when I was a primary school student.
I live in acutely homophobic part of conservatic country
I collected all of the comic series because I want the bonus washable tattoo.
these tattoo are really beautiful
Nice!
they are symbol and figure of the god in the animation
and the most special thing is
when you spill water on the tattoo, it is white symbol of the god
Oh, neat!
But when the tattoo is dry, it is the figure of the god, the symbol will disappear
Magic tattoo
that sounds cool as heck!!
I still remember it for more than ten years!
Neat!
Considering there's a spoiler room, what specifically isn't allowed in this room?
uuuuuh what do you mean
Probably plot related stuff?
see I got this sudden urge to talk about how much I ship two characters
LOL
yeah plot stuff goes in spoiler room
nice
I'm just scared to go there because I've only just beaten the first boss for the first time and I don't want the rest of the game spoiled.
i mean it depends i guess
Achilles is a human right?
if it's a spoiler character
It depends yea
not a demi god?
I would say heart events shouldn’t be discussed here
Half nymph, but yes.
but like the two characters can be talked abt
Achilles is a human.
so long as like belgo said it’s not a spoiler character
His mother dipped him in the river Styx to ensure he would be safe, but couldn't fully dip him, hence his heel as weakness.
which so far is only [REDACTED]
Not defending.
oh i remember that part with the styx
Bleeding to death from an arrow piercing your heel is one terrible way to go out
Fighting Troy, he got killed by Hector, who was defending Troy.
@lime hinge high school was a few years ago okay
I think we’ve mentioned the first boss here before but idk
Nah I appreciate it.
you can go to #h1-story-discussion if you want to discuss it!
Yes that was the discussion, mod. 😃
But yeah, Achilles was human, his mother a nymph Zeus made SURE married a human so she wouldn't have a baby that could be stronger than him.
i know, ive been silently lurking :P just reminding you can just elaborate there instead of being vague here
I don't need to elaborate really. I just felt the urge to express it, lol.
that’s a mood
he was killed by Paris actually
apollo guided his arrow
Oh, my mistake then. Did Hector kill Patrocles?
Hector killed patroclus and achilles killed Hector and Paris killed achilles
idk how Paris died
he caused this whole mess and then was too much of a coward to fight or do anything
Yep, he just hid and canoodled.
oddysey and Hector are the most sympathetic figures of trojan war
also the dudes who Helen was stolen from?
they got happy ending i think
house of hades
Dope, thanks
I might have partially confused Paris and Achilles.
should we have a "tastefull (hades) memes" channel?
I do remember more context for Achilles now, though. I remember a single scene in the entire tome that he showed a shred of humanity. 😛
The meme channel should be called Chaos lmao
lol
Or just 'hell'
The Abyss
memes from the abyss
memes are banned
gAsp
I know it will be probably after the complete release, but could I expect a switch release?
I'm looking for a list of voice actors, and I havent stumbled across it yet
Anyone know where I should look?
@edgy field Available in the Credits section via Hades' main menu! 👍
What does the Pom of Power do?
upgrades a boon
Lets you upgrade one of your current boons, specifically the stat increase I think
I'm just gonna wait for someone to add that on the wiki xD
Also is there a specific name for the food healing item thingie?
im not sure but it looks tasty
i know ambrosia is supposed to be the food of the gods but
id prefer what appears to be fries and a flatbread over a bottle of orange liquid
it's the orange juice that goes with your happy meal
What is the spear called? Havent unlocked it yet
I need to know
eternal spear
I know the shield is Aegis I believe
A chaos variant I guess?
Varantha the Eternal Spear or something
Has there been a fastest completion time posted yet? 😂
yes
Awesome, thank you guys
The last I saw was 10:30ish?
Since they already had all the info
then u have stygius thats the stygian blade
coronacht the heart seeking bow
word thanks
I wonder if Cupid will show up 👀
and aegis the shield of chaos
Skeleton Key page is done!
For now
Until someone can get all the skeleton keys and update the second part of the codex
Do you have a link to that reddit thread? I'd like to see that run
from @burnt pond himself
Thank you friendos
Ye, Jedi Knight runs are the best
I have so many memories of that game from my childhood
Always fun to see speedruns of games like that
Whats the exact name of the hammer and health boost?
@brisk trail You can check in your codex
Does anyone know if the "perfect landing" you can do when starting a run does anything?
Well alma gave you the closest answer without knowing what it is off hand
looks super cool
It's just cool
press dash
Tap space at just the right time
when falling out of the window
Falling with style
zag does a little spin
Or alternatively spam space when falling haha
can i just...... mash dash instead
Yup
yep it works
but sometimes itll just say perfect landing without the animation if u do that, which i know bc i spam it aha
Great, now the devs will patch so that mashing it will have Zag fall flat on his face
Mashing will have him land, run forwards, and fall on his face
Zag, standing up: Cheers mate
poseidon is the fun uncle
Any update or eta on a steam release?
Please check #hades-faq for our answer regarding additional platforms!
Anyone know what the blood gates do?
Give you an item in exchange for HP
Cheers mate
maybe steam release
Please check #hades-faq for our answer regarding additional platforms!
Hep
Useful
Holy feces, a year?
Hahaha
The early access period is planned to be around a year
So when the game's done it'll release on other platforms
Ouch
Unless of course Epic Store somehow nukes itself and Supergiant jumps ship
me when epic games announces a store: eehhh ill pass
hades will be on epic games store: nvm
Don't know if I can post the video here but Greg Kasavin from GDC was playing Hades
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LykrwmUu8I
The GDC team sits down with Supergiant Games creative director Greg Kasavin to discuss Hades, the company's new roguelike game! -- Watch live at https://www....
Zeus for dash.
I've found virtually no use for blood gates so far personally.
i sometimes take them if the only other choices are like a key and ambrosia
why is Dusa all alone in the corner?
not a party without skelly
Dusa is being a creep.
no!!!!
she's just shy
shes cleaning!
such a hard worker that one
any ideas for other weapons we could get in later patches?
big hammers, double daggers, whips, maybe a scythe if the greek people used those?
a staff would be cool
a little out there but some kind of hermes boots that let you dash around and do some kick boxing 🤣
Oh man, kickboxing/wrestling throws would be fun.
some kind of fist fighting
omg
what if you just wield dusa into battle
and show her to everyone
if only she had the stone gaze
she only petrifies you with adorability
she tries to look at the enemies but she gets nervous and petrifies herself 
I have joked my favorite idea for a comical ending is Zagreus giving her a kiss and her blushing so hard that she pchoos though the roof and you can take the rooftops out of Hades.
truly, showcasing the power of love :V
More like the power of squee.
How would you guys compare this combat to either dead cells or bastion?
In terms of similarity to bastion and in terms of how well done the combat is to dead cells
if we could wield dusa
I greatly enjoyed both
so cruel
I'd put it much more toward bastion, since you have a limited number of weapons that you choose at the beginning of each run
and of course from the isometric perspective vs. platformer
it does put more emphasis on dodge rolling
(depending on your build and style)
I would call Hades well... A lovechild between Bastion and Transistor.
oh I'm sure, but I doubt it'll work like Dead Cells where you pick up different weapons as you go in each run
Like Transistor because of the stacking of different modifiers and passives on your skills?
the best of both worlds
Yeah.
I guess if I wanted to be silly, it's like Bastion and Transistor had a baby and they are playing dress up with Greek mythology.
rogue likes have always interested me
but i could never get into them
because there wasnt really an emphasis on story and characters
this game fixed that
It's amazing what a good VO and some ancillary conversation can do to flesh out the skeleton of rinse-and-repeat gameplay
exactly
its not just
die, go out, die go out
theres new stuff each time you return
I mean, I really like how Dead Cells is now starting to weave story into the little side passageways and interactable items, there's definitely a place for that, but it's still never going to have an enormous amount of story engagement
I started liking Zagreus within 5 minutes with his little world-weary quips
despite looking like a huge edgelord
he's wearing those cool light up shoes
RAD
Seems legit
Oh okay, that's fair
i think i saw another char call him fire-stepping at some point so maybe his feet are actually on fire lol
i dig the lil fire footsteps they're fun
if he's a fire stepper why do I take so much damage from lava smh
I've died more times in asphodel to the lava then to the enemies, probibly because I charge headfirst into it with the shield...
does anybody know what is a chance of legendary ability ?
Depends on what rank you have of Olympians Favor or God's Pride
i guess by base
@brisk trail +7% , never got ot even after beating the game. Lirik just got it without any Olympians Favor or God's Pride
Interesting
Welcome to the Hades Wiki! The online encyclopedia based on the rogue-like dungeon crawler video game Hades currently under development by Supergiant Games.
Ohhh got, the zeus's legendary is just destroying everything
thank you
guess gonna try to get legendary
What do you mean?
Where to get all the keepsakes?
yes
You have to give every character a gift of Ambrosia at least once
once you encounter a character, you can check the codex to see if giving them ambrosia will give you a keepsake or not by the little gift icon
do some give multiple ones, also do some need multiple gifts?
I believe each character only gives one?
Right now, only one gift
yes
And you can give Ambrosia to the olympions before you accept their boons
am i the only one who feels posydons boon is underpowerd?
nah i never go for poseidon:p
@lofty ravine give gifts to gods before accepting power ups
i have almost all of that
which ones are you missing? I could tell you which characters they are if you want
@lofty ravine than evryone in hades house
maybe take the "how to unlock stuff" to #h1-story-discussion ? 👀
have u given cerberus?
yes
so about posydon . I just feel his power ups should be on par with zeuses
Meg is a goddess right?
~making wiki pages is hard when you havent met the character yet~
@brisk trail not really . she's a fury
the erinyes are technically chthonic gods aren't they
i'm not sure how that translates wrt their videogame power rankings
And furies are Chthonic Deities, yes
she is listed under chthonic gods in the codex iirc
ah yeah
@lofty ravine You can figure it out pretty easily for yourself. If you consult your codex, every character who has a heart, is a character you've given a gift to and gotten a keepsake from, with exception to Hades who does not give a gift at this point
Hey guys just played Hades for the first time and had a total blast with it. Well done, i did not experience any issues and was a smooth experience. Will be returning to this forsure.
It would be fair to list Darren Korb as composer right?
i think though the yt descriptions dont mention him
wich wa kinda weird to em
was* me*
He's listed as Music & Sound in the credits
true
He basically did Everything about the music, and also directed the voice actors, as far as I believe
Oh and sound effects
also voiced 3 characters
Darren Korb is basically Orpheus's muse stuck on the surface.
lol
Is there any word on a Mac release?
the faq states that other platforms will be available ocne it is out of early acces
once*
👆
I took that to mean platforms other than the Epic Games Launcher.
Wait I don't see the correlation to what you just said.
feel free to read the hades-faq , might be better worded or something, i am not native english speaking:p
No, the FAQ is clear.
Er, sorry, no it's not. That's the point I was trying to make.
The Epic launcher is for both PC and Mac.
So when the FAQ says it'll come to other platformers after early access, I thought that meant platformers other than Epic.
Which does support Mac.
But Hades doesn't.
ahh yeah ok
Please check #hades-faq for our answer regarding additional platforms!
I know that Hades is probably coming to Steam eventually, but if I get it now, can I transfer my file over to Steam later?
not sure! i can't see why the save format would be different but that's the kind of thing you'd need to wait-and-see, i think
thats an interesting question
unless there's some update that makes EVERYONE have to restart their save files down the line (which i doubt), i can't imagine that it wouldn't!
but i'm not a dev so maybe that's a better question to pose at one of them?
i know my pyre save data transferred from GOG
I believe it will carry over as the save files are in your documents.
Under \Documents\Saved Games\Hades
This is in reference to the on-fire shoes discussion earlier - I believe in Rastafarian/Jamaican slang a 'hotstepper' is someone on the run from justice, is it not?
and Zag does seem to spend a lot of time escaping his comeuppance
why does hades say "TRESPASSER!" when he decides to ruin your run if you're trying to untrespass? 🤔
I guess it is technically trespassing if you are under house arrest 😂
room arrest:p
Hey guys I was thinking of starting a youtube channel where I showcase odd and fun builds, do you guys think there would be an audience for that or is it not worth it...
AAAAA IM SO MAD I BEAT A ROOM BUT A BOMB WENT OFF AND KILLED ME

That is bad. but next time you will beat the room and Survive the bomb @alpine stratus I believe in you
@alpine stratus getting in the true Hades mood i see? 
i just realized that hypnos has a little sleeping mask on his head complete w the eyes and im trying not to laugh at work gjfklhg
