We have pronoun roles if you click on our icons ^^
in any case, when i see ch in writing i tend to pin it as gutteral out of habit mvmgmgjgj
reflex from learning hebrew thruout childhood
Gucci
oh god.
Guxy...
GUXXY
Please stop
I thought the major update would be coming on my birthday but it's actually a couple days off ๐ข
๐
what awwwww ;0;
When's your birthday then?
the 10th ๐ญ
hi old fogie
๐
... Anyone here good at baking?
I can do bread but not cakes
ok im late to this but im here to wheeze laugh at charon with a guttural ch
๐ฐ
dfjghkd its an actual word in hebrew but like no one uses it bc its so fancy
oh my god it just turns into charan like.....the biblical location kfmdmxncmvmvnvn
but initially ive been reading it as sharon
sharon
Man, I really love the shopkeeper Chakram
deactivate your charons
wait, is this what they mean by char-ity? giving money to charon?
mission success!
AAAAAA CHHHHARITY
the guy just wants some money okay do him a chesed alma kdnxnxncnvn
oh i thought of a great idea
what if SGG makes a boss in Hades and it uses quotes from this server as battle banter
** clearly we should be shade dialogue**
have a toggle where all dialogue is replaced with mod quotes
Oh, slight tangent but @olive jungle - I only found out about the pronoun tags about a week ago, and I know another person online who goes by 'Ven' who's male
So until recently, I've been reading all your messages in super burly man's voice ๐
... Sorry
You're the third person in the past two days to say I have Dude Energy so i'm starting to think maybe it's just my vibe. ๐
๐
as an aside, please read all my messages in a very high pitched voice, thanks
Man, now itยดs no wonder that he wont do me a sale afrer so many Ambrosia bottels. Poor man ,I had no idea that he need to use charity. ๐
I think his classical description mentions him being filthy and wearing rags so......
I hope you don't take it personally~, I really liked the manly persona I accidently built around you, it was just very charming and funny
๐
Nah I think it's funny. ๐ The pronoun roles are there for a reason though
It's probably just because you're slightly older than most of the other users, so you give off an authoritative vibe
Wow assuming we're all young
I know
@livid cargo But isnยดt it nice from hin thta he thinks most people here are under 23 ? 
He's probably right, as well
out of curiosity how old are you guys? :))
17
"he" is still right here...)(folds arms dramatically)
21, myself
20
@sick tree ........And?.......
I thought you were kinda older, 25-30
not really, I just thought this server was different
I assumed the average was 17-21
since it has a lot of older fan of SGG
People on discord can be old, but probably not on a new video game discord
18 myself so yeah
#off-topic-discussion please btw!
I think ages depend on the server
fair enough
But ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
do we have a solid age for zag?
18-23 I guess
not that i know of? i think of him 19-20 myself
He reads like a young rebellious teen so around there most likely?
yeah thats a good range sherp
my gues is 100 and few (ยดcuz gods and stuff)
Let me read my mythology in peace!!! ๐
On this discord server, yes, but go on a retro gaming discord and the average becomes 30-40
i get the reading of him as younger too tho i just personally see his getting out as like, the fruits of his teenage labor (w achilles training etc)
Im 28 btw
I think 100 years in teenagehood would be a nightmare
I guess
Well to thanslation on human age itหs cca 18-21 so itยดs at leasst at its end.
*translation
*itยดs
man me and my grammar
Yeah, @red coral - you just know he's reading Twilight, The Hunger Games and all those other angsty teen novels~ ๐
proabably why he's so formal and cordial with dusa :))
Lol. Now I have to go on a quest to find Zagโs favorite book.......
oh, i dont like where youre going with this.
I uhhhhh not sure we can let that kinda comment slide here
lmao, sorry
Now Kam is concerned about my book choices for Zag haha
that would be a strange romance don't you think
If I'm right about her just being Medusa, post head chopping
You know, 'cus, the name...
I'd say, she probably got cursed at around 16, will have lived for a few years, to get a reputation as a monster before Perseus killed her so.... 21 physically?
Maybe just 18?
you cant get round like that, sorry!
She can't have been in the underworld that long, or at least not in the House or she wouldn't be so insecure about losing her job
(sidenote- its fine to hc dusa as young obviously, my problem is exclusively with making any sort of not ok joke or reference about it)
I mean like, time probably doesn't flow normally in the underworld anyway
True
soo yeah
That doesn't make it less creepy
Letโs just avoid that topic overall for now folks
More importantly who is excited for the next update
!!!!!!MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
The only thing coming to mind is 5th Wave haha but I feel like I could do better than that....
I... I own a signed copy... that I won at a meet the author raffle fam...
Well
Let me have my fun............
Do you think he'd enjoy reading the mortal accounts of the Greek Gods activities?
I imagine he'd avoid all the myths involving his creepy uncles, which is most of them, so probably not...
not the main characters?
Yeah I donโt think heโd be into Greek myths haha
@red coral Wouldent Hamlet be enough?
maybe he really likes Roman Myths Weekly
U right Zag is definitely an edgy Hamlet fan
I can't decide if he'd love or hate Disney's version of Hades...
to choose shield or not to choose shield
I feel that
Pche, Sword an any DPS stuff is the best
Bow is blessed but when I want to have a good time itโs sword time babey
I also. Die a lot in those runs haha
I wonder why.... (the sword is terrible at dealing with armoured enemies is probably why)
I kinda hope the armor change gets reverted, but i don't think it will
The best time with swod is (foe me) when I cam apply tactic fast demage fast retreat
^Yeah thatโs how it be haha
And abou the armeo, you got that hammer upgreade
*armor
...
I wish they limit the number of spawners that can... Spawn at a time so you don't get this situation where 3 or 4 of them pop up in a far corner of the room you can't see and by the time you notice them, there's a gigantic hoard of angry skulls charging at you
*swarm
If I remember right those are the sceletobs with bombs.... purple once?
*sceletons
*one
Nah, I'm talking about the skull spawners
Never been swarmed by larger enemies that bad
Not when they're 4 all clustered together in a hidden corner and by the time you find them, there are, like, 25 skulls all dashing at you at once
Well I never had that luck. At least I never had the need to search fot them sine most of the time I dash thrue whole room like mad man. So no hiden crook or craney in front of me.
*through
So I just got killed by a lout and went to see what the broker in the lounge had to offer, at which point Zagreus said "You remind me of a guy who got me killed once or twice"
does anyone else have the feeling that the game tends to become tedious once you get to the later stages? i feel like having all enemies spawn with armor in addition to having multiple spawn waves is a bit too much unless you get a really really glass cannon build. bosses tend to be a bit long in the tooth as well, especially when going for bow builds, which tend to have weak damage output in my experience
on the topic of the skull spawners. having 4 armored ones spawn close together and them spawning skulls with armor effect is really unfun for bow. i had to run around for 7 minutes or so getting 1-2 hits in before i had to run a whole lap around the area for another go. meanwhile more and more skulls spawn which take additional time to clear once the piles are done.
yeah, I agree, ashphodel feels overcrowded
I dunno how much this is attributed to ashphodel being the last area in the game atm
maybe once the game is longer they'll smoothen out the curve a bit
This question hit me form the clear sky and I need to know answer. Zag is god of what?
If itยดs spoiler......
Who wants to discuss it? Man I got some theories.....
Talking back to Hades, apparently
Well, we have little indication
like what?
Well, none really
He is a Cthonic god, we can see that much
And his powers are related to fire and darkness
Right
He seems to just be a god of the underworld
Its quite possible he is Hades' eventual replacement
Yeah, gods in greek mitology have overlaping (war- Ares/Athena II sun- Helios/Appolo II .....) but I never heard of replace mant. Not to mention that gods are immortals.
True but Zagreus in the myth was an odd case
*look at the Wiki True
Yo let's take this convo to #h1-story-discussion, for now!
It'll give you a better space to explore all potential answers anyway aha
@lethal shoal - A while ago, I heard from someone on here that he's the God of Domesticated animals,
Representing things like hunting dogs and house cats
Rather than wilds wolves, bears and so on
But they didn't cite their sourse and I've not been able to find anything to confirm it
So I donno
I look ad the discution goes on spoiles sooooo joine in. 
Hey guys does Hades support ultra wide monitors? Im running 3440 x 1440
21:9?
NVm just brought it anyway ๐ if its as awesome as Bastion im sure ill enjoy it ultrawide or not
hi, noob question here. i have not bought the game, but i plan to in a few days. they say that the game will be in early access for more than a year. do you feel the game has a lot of things to change and improve? dunno how to ask this, but you feel the game has a long way to go or it feels like is almost finished and they are just in the polishing stages? you think it will change much until launch?
from what i understand, it has a long way to go. a lot will be added! what is there does feel very polished already tho
@obtuse crater If you have a similar experience in other roguelikes, like the Binding of Isaac, I would compare it to having the game go only to the Depths 2, instead of all the way to either the Chest or Dark Room like it currently does. It has a long, long way to go ๐ I still think it is worth the purchase, I love it
yeah the thing is that love supergiant. love bastion, transistor and pyre. i just kind put this one on hold for being in early acces and because i don't quite like the epic store haha. but've seen a lot of positive feedback and that's why i want to try it
the game is on another level compared to usual roguelikes allready, maybe only dead cells has similarly polished features, and if they keep going strong like this then it will be among the best roguelikes to be found for a loooong time
I* love supergiant
I think if you have the available income to spend on this game it is worth it. Worst case scenario is if the game doesn't have enough content, you play it each patch until you feel you have done all there is, and then a month later you get another patch with more!
also get in early, so you can enjoy the permutations of the game over the course of the development
And also to help shape the game as it gets further along in development.
uhh dead cells that was one of my favorite games last year. ton of hours in that game xD
i think i would have missed out on a lot by waiting for the final release. the first patch already feels like fresh breeze again
did you play dead cells in the betas as well?
i feel like i played 5-6 different dead cell games over the years
no, i started dead cells on 1.0
man, you missed out ๐
Slay the Spire perhaps?
That game just came out of Early Access, so if you want to try and compare the game a year ago to today, that would be apt.
Then my work here is done 
if you have the money, you owe it to yourself to play roguelikes in their different developmental stages, you get a multitude of "games" that way^^
ok ok , thank you guys for the response ๐ . think i will hang out here until launch then xD
Good choice 
If you want classic and easy to 'carry,' there is an android port of Nethack, a classic.
people are talking about roguelikes but no one is mentioning the classic Dungeons of Dredmor
when is the cutoff for classic
Good question! ๐
(I admit that I'm biased; I couldn't get into it, something about the control scheme just turned me off.)
I think I played enter the gungeon or spelunky the most
I don't think there was much else other than that that I really stuck with
ooh, binding of isaac, I got the golden idol for that one
then they rebooted it which was entirely understandable and I lost everything
there's probably a metaphor in there somewhere
#off-topic-discussion for further discussion not related to hades, please!
lol
Is there something I'm required to do before having access to the feedback channel? It won't let me type in there. ๐ค
Please check out the pins in the feedback channel
Oh my bad - I had only read the top one. Sorry!
no problem!
I never ever knew we had legendary boons
I'm stupid LOL it should've been obvious but I flipped
Hello all. Just a noob looking for some gameplay tips
I can relatively reliably get to Meg but haven't managed to get past her yet
what weapon do you use
She has a specific pattern of attacks, some of which she apparently only uses below half hp.
She's easier to kill at range than up close, so bow and spear are better than sword and shield to start with.
The new mirror ability that increases damage based on casts stuck in an enemy really makes the boss fights easier.
Also, poseidon, zeus and aphrodite arent as useful as say ares or athena.
For the bosses, they're as good as anything else otherwise
zeus's uhh it's like chain lightning? and then ares' curse where they take dmg afterwards can be really nice
at some point I had leveled ares' curse to 6 so I was doing +161 dmg after every atk kek
deals more dmg than actual atk
idk with meg at first I think I went a little wild trying to kill all the enemies around her as well but at this point I just kill a few of them, and then lead meg away from the herd so I can focus on her
I'm struggling to find a "best" weapon for me
I tried a couple runs with the bow and foundit awful
most success probably with spear
sword gets me killed nice and early on generally
I am just losing too much to chip damage if I'm up close with enemies
oh gr8 uhhh I use spear to, you know how early on she doesn't really spawn any enemies?
*too
I take that chance to just kinda get a little closer to her, deal some dmg before she spawns her cronies
and how about keepsakes?
I'm not really finding any of them impactful
I'm mostly using the shaul or the collar
ohhhh
I like zeus and athena's keepsakes
hypnos' is good too, once you level it
certain gods' boons can be quite strong depending on the level? ie epic and rare
so if you wear a specific god's keepsake so that you can get that boon you want that can be nice
i wish the keepsakes could stack
eh, that'd be way too powerful
personally i tend to go with a god's keepsake in tartarus and then switch to skull earring for asphodel for that sweet damage boost
collar is good early on when you need a cushion of hp to learn the game better
Hey everyone~
I just got the kid's bandana from Bastion, in the post~

I am extremely happy~
:3
the KID!
do yall have a favourite enemy? like, enemy type?
all mages aside from the asphodel ones, it'S fun to hunt them and to destroy/deflect their projectiles
I also find witches the most "fun"
it's a bit counter intuitive that while they're most vulnerable on melee range, they are also most dangerous
because they can shotgun you
that part is not the bad part about them in asphodel imho. i usually spawn 3 at the same time in addition to other enemiesand they just fill the screen with projectiles ( which would be fine if they were the only danger, but with hazards and usually 2 additional enemy types present it just becomes unfun)
depending on weapon it feels "unfair" in that i have no way to counter/ avoid getting hit there
bow is the worst offender in that regard unless you have instant charge
i wish i could stop wanting to play with coronacht <.<
using the other weapons in between always feels like a breeze
maybe i like the witches too because they don't have massive amounts oh hp ^^ almost anything else feels like damage sponges
i also want the bow to be fun, but it's so slow
and while the primary is not bad, i hate the multishot
because of the like half second where you can't do anything when the bow finishes shooting
yeah it lacks the oomph to keep you safe while shotgunning enemies or it needs less delay
i've done like 10 runs with it, and the last run i did, i got some upgrade that made me shoot fast with my regular attackk, but i've not seen that otherwise
i might just be bad at the game though, so take anything i say with a grain of salt
yeah the instant charge combined with extra flat damage is workable until right in front of the hydra. then the amount of enemies just becomes ridiculous at times
so if you get that one again, use zeus or ares
on standard attack
The triple shot boon for the bow is super good
I find it really difficult to dodge projectiles with the bow because the basic attack animation is much longer than the other weapons so, even when I hit dash in time, Zag won't move until a fraction of a second after the projectile makes contact
i usually destroy them by shooting them with an uncharged shot rather than dash at the last second
only times this doesn't work is with the witches in asphodel who just vomit projectiles en masse
but man do i hate the homing function of the dusas
with the need to charge attacks on bow, you can hardly attack any more when dusas are combined with other enemies
Gorgons
yes
๐
with the guys that shoot three purple balls
and die
and there's always like 6 of them
shoot through the balls
like, shoot them when all 3 are fired and hit the balls at the same time as the enemies
the bow pierces
yeah, destroying the balls is really effective
well, there's usually like 18 on screen at once, and i can't do much about it lol
Try and shoot the ones on a direct course to hitting you
like, i have zero problems with those rooms using aegis
And don't try to dash like crazy away from them, more often then not you'll end up running into them
but aegis seems really good
They're called Witches, you'll get the hang of dealing with them pretty quickly,
the elite ones that show up in the second half of the game can be a huge pain though
when using to bow, at least
mostly because at that point every single enemy has armor while being upgraded to a stronger type in addition to getting more enemies at the same time and more spawn waves...
bow special can kind of be used to clear the screen of projectile spam
i think my most hated room in the whole game is the "boat cruise" through asphodel where elite bombers spawn with the shielding enemies and that with 3 or 4 waves
Unless they end up just slipping through the gaps...which happens a pretty frustratingly often
@broken tide i just died on that stupid boat
and quit playing because it was frustrating
lol
yeah i find the special too risky to clear projectiles with, because you are stuck if one does get through
yeah
i consider my runs over if i get the boat with a weak build
the only one that had no trouble was the spear special with back crits in the first build of the game
charge-> teleport behind them and crit them for 400+
Murderboat is definitely a challenge
is the spear any good? it also seems a little slow, but i like the idea of the aoe attackk
casts are really important in murderboat
Spear is the weapon I've been most successful with
for focusing the soulstones
I think I've only managed 1 boat ride without getting hit
but I haven't yet beaten Megh
yes it's awesome, but they took the ability to back-crit with the aoe away to balance it
So I can't talk ๐
so far, my favorrite is the sheild
my best runs have included some kind of OP shield special boon + cast boon
I think spear is probably the "best" weapon
or dash boon
the bull rush combined with throwing it with homing
has anyone had any success with the spear throw? i find myself never using it
i love shield bounce as well, too bad it is so weak for bosses
maybe the buiff to return speed alleviates that a bit
The only success I've had with the spear throw has been with the armor% boon
I've had success with spear throw, but I personally hate it
i usually just pray for one lightning upgrade for shield toss
I only really use spear throw a lot if I get the 500% armor shred
very clunky compared to other means of doing dmg
also, did they make hydra more difficult? it feels like the monoliths are smaller and the homing shots can curve around them easier
you should consider using ares for shield special, it's really good
I think hydra is easier as of the chaos update. due to projectiles being destructible
i didn't even try that!
damn i could have beaten it first try <.<
thanks a lot Icathios!
realistically, spear and bow are most effective at destroying them
i just tried to hide like before
hey np 
and got shredded
you can hide but you'll have to move for the last ~5 shots
Why do so many people hate the shield?
I know it's not the most powerful weapon but it's so adaptable and, imo: the best choice for new players or people who just struggle with precise timing, like me
I think the shield is one of those that grows on you over time
yeah, shield was my first win
the ability to just turtle when pressured is so strong
my weapon ranking from best to worst is Spear Sword Shield Bow
i rate them: Shield, Spear, Bow, Sword
i freely admit i may be biased
Bow>Spear>Shield=Sword
My clear chart is very similar to sparrow's, except lower overall numbers because I haven't been playing a lot, sitting at 92 or 93 runs
@hexed smelt do you use controler or KBM?
controller!
i used a controller for pyre and transistor and bastion too, i'm just way more comfy playing these kinds of games with a 360 controller ^^
damn, i had hoped for some pro control layout
i'm still convinced that shield clear was an absolute fluke btw
BOO!!~ Shield hater!!
(เธ โขฬ_โขฬ)เธ
It's ok to like different things 
Shield Gang
I swear I just cannot get behind the bow
it's too slow, has a terrible special, doesn't do enough damage compared to how long it takes between shots
I agree on the Special, but the rest I disagree
(เธ โขฬ_โขฬ)เธ
the bow can be slow if you take the wrong hammer or if you're not dashing enough
i'd argue it should work without dashing
rather than rely on it's damage / charge increase as a crutch
it's a delicate balance
other weapons work without backstab dash-attacks
i mean clearly neither of us are going to convince the other here :P
we don't have to
it's just a thing to keep in mind if they plan to balance the weapons later
rmb dash didn't work for me, btw. when charging attack, releasing and dashing it seems my rmb doesn't "unlock" fast enough
the other weapons have things you're able to do with them
sword has knockback and you can build for either fast attacks or slow but powerful chops
spear has either quick, low-damage stabs, a ranged throw, or a devastating spin attack
shield can block, be thrown as a chain attack, and has a knockback effect and a charge
bow can...be combined with dash
it doesn't work as long as lmb is pressed
any boon that isn't artemis or sometimes poseidon isn't good for the bow since most rely on per-attack
unless you go for instant-charge
but that kneecaps your damage
even if you get 4 pomegranades
i reached hydra with that and the damage was still weak and it took forever
Artemis is good for bow, yes, but getting any +%dmg on Attack is great because math
added bonus of reflecting damage by shooting them
you know I see athena so little I forgot she was an option lol
which is fun with projectile rows
witches get slammed with a barrage of shots in addition to your own โค
yeah it's kind of ridiculous
poseidon and athena are also useful utilities you can have on bow special
athena special on bow ๐
oh, a room full of asphodel witches? let me just send every single one of your shots back at you
๐
Honestly, bow Special is my dump-stat when I get a boon that I don't want ๐
until that one shot gets through and you are still stunned by aftercast-delay
happens way too often though @prisma wind
ok, these stompy dudes
have like a huge aoe radius when they land
i can't dash fast enough once the white flash happens to get out of the way
try dashing directly up or down to get out from under them
what's up folks guess who's back!
Hey, it's the Doc! You've been out of touch lately 
How did you move go?
Did you get your computer set up/arrived safely?
Murphy's Law in full effect
computer just got working again today
it arrived with a fried motherboard so I had to do some surgery on it
So have you booted up the Chaos Update yet?
but, I'm back in business and I'm updating Hades
I've been avoiding spoilers like the plague until now, I'm ready to get my ass kicked
You almost missed out on it entirely
Next update is in what, 10 days?
yeesh
It's very good, Doc! There have been some changes though
Please, go explore and report back 
Doc, have you killed the Asphodel boss before as of yet?
||Not entirely, but it's taken a hit||
acceptable
Hunter Dash is probably the biggest change to bow meta
TL;DR Quick Temper was removed, then Hunter Dash went through a couple iterations and now is a boon equivalent of QT
Fair warning though, it's bugged to reset to common rarity once you exit the room where you picked it up
s p e a r g a n g
I noticed they slapped backstab damage off the spear AoE, which is nice
Makes it consistent with other AoE effects
I think it still penetrates walls while Sword Special doesn't? Not sure 100% though
She's delightful 
@trail raven no spoilers in this channel please! could you edit your message?
also, for tips theres always #h1-builds-and-combat !
i can talk about SPOILER there right?
yep!
ty !
Does the lava in Asphodel count as a 'trap'?
yes
so as it turns out the one chaos picture i have saved on my phone works as a snapchat filter and the result is very disturbing
share this i beg you
Reading through the discussion when I realised that the weapon preferences are like the exact opposite from The Rising of the Shield Hero since so many love the shield here XD
i could just be terrible at the game
(i'm really bad with the bow. can't even get meg to half health)
Bow takes a bit of practice and timing/muscle memory for the dash attack-power shot routine, but once you get the hang of it, that's all you'll do with bow and it's quite effective!
I'd say of all the weapons, the bow is the most technically challenging to pull off, but also the most rewarding when you do
Oh, the skeletwins do you in, eh?
This would be a better conversation for #h1-builds-and-combat though if you want to continue over there
Cant believe the next major update is less than 10 days away
Wait really?
yup
Oh wow

Scythe in next major update?
I want to know who writes the little quotes for the shades, they seem to have some fun times.
Oh is the scythe the next weapon we are guessing?
Guessing
Risu would be happy but I doubt we'll get a scythe in the next update, if ever
That sounds like a possibility. We have speculated a lot about the possibility of
||Thanatos||
being a character, and when I think about it i picture scythe
I think it is a holdover from Golden Sun 2 for some reason.
I want a fist weapon to show dem gorgon heads real spacejam.
God it reads as awfull as it was in my head.
I think Zag is a little too weedy to fight with his bare fists but I wouldn't mind a pair of gauntlets or claw weapons
Some caestus
dual-wielding sticky hands toys
I wish there was a room where we can test out builds
Like a room where you chose your own boons , hammers and stuff
hm, I just got a trial of the gods room, but it was just labelled as an "aphrodite (difficult)" room
Sometimes it can be hard to see the second symbol behind the first
I mean, usually they're smaller and offset, but I'm almost certain this was a dead-center big aphrodite icon
I'm honestly not complaining though because I thought it was going to be a boat but instead I got two boons
everybody wins!
nightmare scenario where you actually get a trial of the gods on the boat
"how dare you pick sides!" boat starts moving
that boat has ended more runs than the twin bombers
oh definitely
it just becomes so cluttered
I had the choice between Poseidon and Athena on the boat...I chose Poseidon...and chose poorly.
Honestly Choosing between Athena and Poseidon near the boat ride is almost a choice of "Money vs Money health and some darkness"
so, i almost never lose to twin bombers when i am using shield
every other weapon, on the other hand, pretty much ends in death
I don't know how early you are in your runs but they become significantly easier when you have enough darkness to max out your casts and dashes
@night turret either of them. The smaller ones are even easier with the shield
since you never have to move out of the center of the room
and you get a poseidon pushback buff on your main attack? they stand even less of a chance
Hey, is anyone knows if there will be cloud save support?
Not at the moment!
Does anyone know how do i get refund of the money's difference because of the game's price reduction?
Regional pricing refunds are done automatically by the Epic Store, you shouldn't have to do anything
Cloud save support is also up to Epic to implement
Hello everyone have COOP mod in HADES?
@trail raven -That would ruin the exploration aspect of the game, going out to discover new boons and experiment with them on the fly,
I donno, maybe if you could only test out boons and upgrades you'd already acquired in previous runs so there's still a reason to go out exploring and picking up new boons, rather than just your old favourites
but still meh
and no @neon ocean - there isn't a co-op mode, I'm afraid
๐ฆ sad face
If the next update is a new zone, Iโm 110% sure itโs elysium. What do you guys think elysium will be like?
It's sure to be a spirited area
It would be cool, if any room in Elysium contained a boss or mini-boss (-es), presented as the fallen Greek heroes, in place of countless mobs.
my save file is gone
I went to go play hades and I got 3 empty save slots
im about to cry

uninstall
yo that is a bummer ๐ญ could be a fun to start from scratch and grind up
I've been thinking of doing that myself
@pliant hound Quit is available before you've taken damage or after you've accepted the reward. Give up after you've taken damage. Just go to a room and take damage and then hit escape to Give Up
@brisk trail first time playing since the chaos update?
how much have you played on that save? :(
also, @brisk trail did you move to another computer?
//so, how do these spoiler tag thingies work?//
you put those || at the start and end of your spoiler
|| like this?||
yeah!
theyre working fine in my browser?
actually hey wait this isnt #off-topic-discussion lets all go there
Anyway, now I've figured out the spoiler tags;
@solar coral - I high, high, highly doubt we'll see a whole new zone this quickly after the last one, I imagine we'll see a new God, weapon, more room designs for the current levels, or enemy type, hopefully a selection of the above in the next update and finally see Elysium a few months down the line,
As for what it'll look like: I honestly have no idea, considering how they handled the last one
Spoilers ahead for the second zone: || I mean, Asphodel is meant to be a beautiful expanse of green fields and meadows, occasionally broken up by the various rivers of the underworld and the odd lake, but in game, it's just a fiery hell-scape... ||
|| Granted: they justify it by saying it was flooded by the river Phlegathon (AKA: the river of fire) so they're not just spitting in the face of the original descriptions of Tartarus, Asphodel and Elysium, || however: in order to maintain a sense of escalating steaks, they'll presumably contrive a reason to make it even more treacherous and hostile than the previous two
That's just the kind of compromise you have to make when your character is fighting their way up and OUT of hell, rather than fighting their way down into its deepest and darkest depths
Personally though: I'd love it if they did make it look beautiful and idealic, as it's meant to, just to create an effective contrast with Zags mood at that stage of the journey and the fact we'd ostensibly be fighting some of the greatest soldiers and warriors Greece has ever had, since Elysium is reserved for heroes and other extraordinary figures (and sometimes their families but whatever, I don't wanna slice up any innocent women or children, thanks)
Idk though
Could be nice to have Elysium be exactly like described
But since only the greatest heroes get there, the shades totally kick your ass
bc the Elysium shades have more brains probably itd be fun if they thought of it as a challenge
"lets see what you can do, prince!"
"I wont hold back cause youre alive, so dont hold back bc were dead"
Oh god imagine shades that can deflect
shades with shields....
"Nice bow you got there nerd"
"yeah dude i was an uhhhhh general"
Is there just a nearly identical Hades II called Pluto nearby?
Or do they share underworlds?
If the latter, we could fight Caesar
As a miniboss
see also: an alternate universe where you go to fight caesar but he ends up being a giant bottle of caesar dressing
Eh, theyre pronounced differently
u get to the end of elysium
theres just....a guy
"Never was much of a fighter, but I cant let you pass, my apologies"
"Cmon, pleeeease"
"Haha..... I wish I could, lad. But if I make you give up, there's someone your father will let me see."
(DUN DUN DUN PATROCLUS REVEAL)
Then he rips off his fake skin and it turns out it was Skelly all along
thanks!
sorry, just deleting that bit
oh NOW were talking
hades: go to your room, boyo
zag: excuse me?
hades: (LOUD COUGH) boy.
AAAAAAAAHHH
||And thats how the statues mixup happened||
YOURE ME FROM THE FUTURE............
spoiltag that bit pls
This one you mean?
Ya!!
"Look, Boyo, Im the future version of you"
JDKGMG ZAG IS....PAYING HIMSELF....TO GO BACK IN TIME....AND TEACH HIMSELF
"Spoiler: You dont age well"
jdjdmvmvmgmvn
Maybe his accent is just a diversion from this truth
no, zag drops his voice. skelly is the real one. PLOT TWIST
Wait, Zag always says "mate"
When he gets older, everyone is like a kid to him
So he starts saying "boyo"
It all makes sense now
yyyup
@fiery pebble - in answer to whether only Greek people go to Hades, probably yeah
It's easy to forget, since modern religions are all pretty much mutually exclusive (only one can be true) that, for much of history:
People didn't typically argue "My God's real, your God's fake"
Rather, it was closer to "both our God's are real but mine is better than yours so nah nah nah nah!!~"
So which afterlife you went to would depend on where you're from, what God('s) you worshipped and where you died
The Egyptian Goddess of child-birth shows up in a Greek myth so... Yeah... There were crossovers
They just didn't reach a large scale because... Well, can you imagine how controversial it would be if someone wrote a story involving religious figures from two modern religions?
It has been done in a hand full of satirical series and books but it's still pretty rare
@fiery pebble
Can't remember the name of the myth in question unfortunately but it's an interesting one
Short but interesting since it arguably involves a Transgendered person
Which is EXTREMELY rare, even today, let alone ancient times
in greek myth alone there's several trans figures like tiresias, caeneus, and leucippus
Iphis and Ianthe
and a bunch of gods like phanes, hermaphrodite,and agdistis
Iphis being a girl, raised as a boy then magically transformed into a man before her wedding day to her lady-love
@tulip lava -I didn't say they were the only one, just that they're rare
:)
still your viewpoint on modern trans narratives being vanishingly rare doesn't mean it was nonexistent in ancient myth
and i also wanted to throw some names out there so anyone interested in them can look it up
Cool~
re: myth crossovers
I better not have to link every rick riordan book in here, they're basically canon
so, erm... I just started my first hades run, and im kinda trying to figure out what all the reward symbols on the exits mean
is there a comprehensive list on a Wiki somewhere?
I've tried searching the gamepedia Wiki but had no luck so far
which ones are you unsure about?
i could help myself
though im pretty sure theyre all on the wiki in some capacity
I mean most are just the exact same icon as the pickup icons
The exception are the black circle with an exclamation mark, thats a special area (Sisyphus if its not an exit after a boss)
And the bag with a skull, thats Charon
yeah, sure, but other than watching Covert Muffn, I havent had much exposure to Hades yet
but consider this, what if you dont know what the pickups do ๐ค
Orange bottle is Ambrosia, thats a resource that doesnt affect your run, the black tear is shadow, also a resource that doesnt affect your run
most are pretty straightforward but there are a few exceptions
The coin is Obols, you can spend them in shops or wells, getting either temporary boosts in wells, or any of the pickup items other than obols (Buying Obols would be odd)
hammer upgrades your weapon and pomegranate upgrades your boons
Obols are coins you spend as mentioned above
heart gives you more health, coin gives you coin
is that a heart on the left?
Also effectively heals you for 25
okay
I just thought, maybe someone has made a comprehensive list with all exits where I can just look up which symbol means what
ahhh, right
the wiki main page is just that, with the exception of an exclamation mark with 3 different colored dots on a rock
I must be blind, cause I missed that on te frontpage entrely
okay
I will get into this at some point
okay... I expected harsh curse words to be censored, but not this
I got hades yesterday and maaged to finally get it to run on this really old and slow laptop
sorry, gotta keep your language squeaky clean in this server haha
congratz on getting it to run tho!
Anyone know why the game went to 10 dls?
To 10 what?
Dollars it seems.
regional pricing it seems, at least it's the reason given for reimbursement by epic game stores
is it possible that in the future we will be able to use more than one keepsakes?
I don't imagine it being a thing, on account of just being able to do Keepsake + getting 60hp from the collar
As well as the overlap issue with having two god-specific keepsakes, which would limit which other ones you would be able to take
y'all I just got 69 obol from this treasure trove and zagreus said "nice"
AAAAAAAA
sorry if that humor is too adult, I don't want to toe that line
but also I'm losing my mind
hes in on the memes
Is not logic a boss have invocation and invocation have invocation juste WTF. What are u doing xD
I don't follow, sorry 
I don't know where to say it but damn this game is amazing
The voice acting, the art, the gameplay
The soundtrack too
Zeus' voice is just ๐
Poiseidon's my favorite because he has the attitude of a proud puppy
which is to say he's so happy and boastful even when he's just brought you garbage
||so are they going to add big chungus as a god to get boons from or is he gonna be another boss||
to anyone i may have offended with my pfp, i am sorry, I was simply trying to show how with the power of friendship and magic, we can overcome any terrible ordeal :(
hey i love how poseidon just calls things n people โcrustyโ
itโs so funny i like him
poisedon eating a sandwich: crusty!
It probably has crab in it, so crusty seems accurate
ooo what if he says that while eating sisyphusโ sandwich and sisy picks it up from him
...good one wight
omg.....
zag is like mmm crusty but he means its good bc he likes the crust so sisy starts using it to mean good and then when zag gets to olympus hes like OH RIGHT
YEAH IT WAS A BAD THING
Crusty will always be endearing in my heart, you can't take this away from me
i hope you have a smooth crusty death prince z
me too..
because itโs from poseidon no less
SMOOTH CRUSTY DEATH.....MAY UR DEATH BE LIKE SAND WHICH: NOT IN LAVA AND CAUSED BY WITCH
pinseidon
I'm partial to Poseipin, myself ๐
pinseipin
the cerberus of pinne
she scored a dash attack crit on my heart
Artemis is life

i ve got nothing constructive to say other than, i get so happy when i encounter her
shes such an eyecandy
What sort of birds are on Artemis art?
Artemis, to my mind, has some of the most versatile boons out of them all, in that they can actually work with other gods' boons
definitely true
@patent umbra Quail, I think
Iwant them as plushies
@gray pilot regarding your feedback on bronze skin and aphros migitation boon, the reson bronze skin has a lower rating is because it blocks all damage, aphrodites only blocks close range attacks
iirc
i dont know if its just me, but compared to the spear and shield, i really reallllly dislike the sword. i dont know what exactly is the reason tho. is it just that its underpowered or is it something in its playstyle? thoughts?
If i had ti guess, its because the sword has the highest risk involved in its use. You have to get in the enemies faces, and with witches and Gorgons... Thats a terrible idea.
The other three weapons all have something that makes them good to use. The Bow has great range and a wide spraying special that combined with reflection can be almost unstoppable. The shield can block almost every attack in the game and boasts impressive damage while also manouvering you across rooms fast while damaging enemies and protecting you, and its special can act as a sniper aimbot of sorts with the right boons. The spear does the least base damage, but also has the greatest base attack speed and impressive range, allowing you to keep enemies at bay (and also has a surprisingly op projectile hitbox, making witches easy to block) while whittling down their health. Its special is... Pretty meh, and i never use its chargeup attack because it takes too long to charge.
If i had to say anything good about the sword, its the special. It can handle basic (and elite with the right boons) numbskulls with ease.
With that over, how can I make a suggestion to the feedback channel? Im not authorised to comment there and im wondering if I just haven't been in here long enough or if there's another requirement.
check the pinned messages
Thanks
I personally wasn't a fan of the sword either until I tried out a few Daedalus upgrades - specifically the ones that change its attack. either the one that attacks faster but removes the thrust, or slower but does +400% damage. both are much more fun than the base sword combo, IMO
the rapid attack upgrade for the sword combined with Zeus attack boons makes for a really cool light show.
the world splitter upgrade for the sword plus Broseidon boons makes it feel like you are using a baseball bat to slam enemies into walls on the other side of the room.
I wanna wall slam the hydra
Poseidonโs boons can still be useful against the bosses. I once got a knockback plus 84% damage increase on the attack, with a few poms it was at 114%. It just absolutely melted the boss
OH BOY
newupdatepog
... already?
DYONISUS COMES
I know it's a while away but I'd really like it to come out of EA :c
there's liquid
Dyonisus?
welp, next god is Demeter for sure
OMG Demeter!
looks more like smoke
that silhoulette nailed it
Demeter
scythe incoming
Excitemeenntttttt
whoยดs that?
Could very well be Demeter or Morpheus
Not happy with Hades
I'm pretty sure that's Tim the sorcerer joining the fray
Yeah it looks like smoke, which is why Im not sure its Demeter
I said Morpheus because of the smoke
Mmm
Dionysus boiz!!!!
Dionysus is unlikely
you can see the vines and wine floating
Owl- please lets not talk abt heavy subjects w/o warning here!
its obviously Spoon Man the famous demi-god
Or really, at all
He'll be coming eventually.
Eh, why not stick the big 12?
guys its obviously Pikachu
OMG WHOS THAT POKEMON
Dionys buff - make everyone drunk
Its almost certainly Dionysus
i cant believe its been almost a month already wth xD
Nyx maybe?
Born now you're getting me excited about teaming up with Demigods
The vines are grape vines, and the liquid/smoke in the air could be wine
Well, in that specific case it's not about a sexual rape, but it's the terminology used for the abduction of Persephony by Hades, coming from the greek word for rape, ฮฒฮนฮฑฯฮผฯฯ (vee-a-smos) which if literally translated means "by force" - not necessarily sexual.
Mobs start walking in circles and falling over
It's also the name of the epic about it.
Isnt Dionysus trapped in hades wine cellar
Then call it an abduction
maybe we'll have to free him first xD
The word has morphed in its meaning
I have been trying to get in that dang wine cellar all game. It would be great if he was trapped in there
yeah
there are other words you couldve used
i doubt everyone here knows greek, ya know?
Besides that would be latin, actually
if its demeter
p sure she'll just
hate us and want to see us die
cuz we're hades' spawn
morpheus could be cool tho
personally i like the idea that dionysus will be a post-game unlock god since there's actually a bit of an etymology link between dionysus and zagreus
hades' brother
not necessarily, we are also her grandchild
and yeah, we might be hades' spawn, but we're also trying to ditch the old man
i think she'd be down for anything that spites him
since Zag is literaly running away like his mom did
I'd like to think we free Dionysus from the wine cellar just to piss off hades
i feel as if zag is just running away cuz it's boring down there
i don't feel demeter would want hades' runt on her
i think we will see zag kiss a man
fair green earth
um...zag is explicitly running away to meet his mom
Well, in the actual mythos, Zagreus was the son of Zeus and Persephony
they were both equally unhappy with Hades
Do you mean the Aeschylus myth?
from what i read there's actually two zagreuses, most commonly, as part of the same exact myth
one that was murdered
zag was the son of hades and persephone, then zeus and persephone cuz zeus is just another aspect of hades in some place
and then the one that wasn't is persephone' schild
Two Zagreuses.
Uranus is the sky god is the husband of gaia thou
Zagreus: Don't trust anyone, including yourself.png
Aaaa
I am Greek and have spent an extensive amount of time reading mythology ๐ The most widely accepted theory about Zagreus is being the son of Zeus, and in a way Hades, as Zeus' katachthonius. The theory that he's the son of Hades came from Gantz and is considered a misinterpretation of Aeschylus by archeologists and historians.
At least locally.
Well it's not like this game even attempts to be accurate
Which is completely fine in my book
I think they put great care in the way they craft the story, and it think for the sake of that bending the various interpretations is perfectly fine yas
Ye it's their own story, and I'll treat it as such
can't tell if it's Pan or Gaia
@wooden quartz if zag genuinely n lovingly kisses a man in patch #2 i fly over to california to hand out flowers to them all
or maybe it thanatos god of death
true
@alpine stratus jo I come with ya
we haven't seen him in a while
GAY TRIP โ
Well, more like Pan
its amazing
Thanatos wasn't a god. Thanatos is the personification of death.
Greek mythos were more like
If it moves, a god screwed it
And I don't even mean that it has to be living
Zeus impregnated sea foam
Zeus basically sexually anything that had a hole
especially zeus, if it moves, zeug probably screwed it AND they had a child
He impregnated the sea, out of which Aphrodite (literally translating to "the one that came from foam") came out.
hey guys, tone it down, this server isnโt for this kinda discussions
whops sry
how bout back to the topic who the new charatcer might be ?
my friend still hopes its Demeter
Dionysus is probably the safe bet
Grape vines around him, liquid in the air and what looks like a wreath
happy birthday in advance ! you get the best gift
hey thanks!
Looks like im not you from the past with different bdays icathios ๐
:0 it all adds up
so who is the teaser person? what are people speculating?
Wine boi
Dionysus and Demeter are the most common guesses
I believe its Dionysus for reasons outlined above
that'd make sense. then again most people were wayyy off the mark with chaos
My money's on Demeter
Well, with Chaos a lot of people didnt expect them because Chaos in myth isnt really a person
I mean, not as off the mark, but hardy anyone guessed
This is wild but
Tbf chaos doesnt have distinctive features like grape vines
What if it's Persephone
Theyre more of a force of nature
true. chaos was more of a concept really, less of a deity
Persephone is end game i reckon
Ye but what if he does an appearance after you beat the second boss or something
Yes she I dropped a very strategic letter e.e
The whole point, ur run would end when u find her lol
I doubt it, really
