This is all very Gauling, I'm sure 
😄
Hey guys, in how many days is the next patch again? 😃
March 12
ty!
Spear autocrit on return feels like cheating.
meg says i only win cuz nyx helps me with the mirror
beat her with no mirror upgrades
no witty line
feelsbadman
"Lets just pretend i never said that"
I'm saying thank you now for such a fun game. I am now binging it. It's fun. It's so fun. Never been so mad at a game before. Never. And happy. This is a strange feeling. I love it.
Welcome to the club, comfy_bruh 
Thanks!
I gotta say I really like how much I don't like Zeus 😄 the writing and sassy voice acting for him just really nails that "I'm better than everyone" vibe
Well he is the leader of the gods 🤔
Zeus is also kind of a... not so stellar figure in general. No matter what interpretations of myth you read, he's noooot a great dude. XD
remember that one time zeus impregnated someone as a cloud
Zeus I love greek mythology
And as a swan
And as a bull
And that one time he just incinerated this lady and decided to sew her unborn child into his thigh
lmao he's so random uwu
that was dionysus!
and it was dionysiyus! and were still friends today
according to most versions he goes to the underworld and saves his mom anyways so it's cool
puts her in charge of parties
What We Do In The Shadows was ahead of its time
if hades(2019) dio barged into the HoH looking for his mom i think hades (hades) would be like, take her just please leave immediately
youre not wearing tights i cant look at you
one of the requirements for entering the underworld is you have to be wearing pants
little known fact
watch out he's going to bring good times into the house and we can't have that
cover your legs so the shades don't feel bad about not having legs anymore
Ombre tights with a gradient from shade green to makes your legs disappear
no pants no service
Shirts are optional though, judging by how Achilles is dressed
if he wore a shirt how would anyone see his arms
sleeves are illegal but tights are required
he can't use intimidate with sleeves on
achilles in an i flexed and the sleeves fell off top
oh wait this is newp

delet
someone convince me to buy hades, cause i'm hesitating
why not come down to HADES? we have
-dogdogdog
-daddy issues
-stylish grandparent who gives you cursed blessings and calls you son of hades
-meg
-the skelltroclus theory
"meg"
needs no explanation
We also have a good lout who sells you overpriced things
We have actual gun
ONE OF US
Dying over and over
a reward?
dude
I guess you better buy the game to find out
i have sunk so many hours into isaac and gungeon
i've got this in the bag
i've been listening to darren korb all day so now im a supergiant mood
correct
Proxy pls
haha
look man, i just want the dog
You can't have the dog
dog³?
He belongs to all of us
gun
-arm,,,,....
just lemme pet the good boy
Hades will teach you that the under barrel grenade launcher was invented by the greek gods
dog³
The greeks were the first noob tubers
Good news! You can pet Cerberus!
Specifically Hestia, the god of the hearth, architecture, and the home
72% on the hades install
Yeah but you cant pet hades
She was the first nade spammer
the game is holding out on us
can we PETition SGG to let us pet the dog³
We already can pet dog³

Nor without RUS

Now I want Cerberus to have one of those Russian winter hats
I have doomed myself
actually if you look closely you can see that erebus is in his name rearranged
so clearly hes playing both sides
cerberus = bringer of communism?
HMM 🤔
yus
Petting is coming Soon
it is installed
IT BEGINS
Cerberus Grooming Simulator
Wait no
🤔
Whats the word
Yes grooming is the word where you take care of the dogs fur and stuff right
🤔
Ya
Thats the next game from SGG
Yes
Lets see we can groom cerb, ti'zo one of those whales from bastion
and uh
the transistor
Groom the sword
yeah gotta make its coat shine

No you groom the hair
swords have hair correct
?????????
The hair from the man
Aren't we all
If you really think about it
How does one know where they are in the internet
🤔
Were all actually just AI programs
. . .
I knew it
The Man enemy from Transistor that spawns the Hair
that seems like a pretty hairy situation
Why would a man spawn hair
this is most likely talk for #transistor but i always thought it was refeerencing the 'shave and a haircut' thing?
The moderators have caught us in our vile scheme
We just need to make Zags sword spawn hair

What
i've not touched this game for a while, have we yet a third zone?
nope
darn, alright, time to let it sit a lil longer. :p
Yeah I know
But I had a chat with Achilles about Exagryph
And he said something like 'may it serve you as well as it served the fire goddess Hestia'
The ones I'm hoping for are Hephaestus, Hera, and Hermes
I would assume so
And that Hephaestus is gonna be relegated to solely god of smithing
He's gonna give us our next weapon upgrade
Or armor 🤔
The game has so many things to add to it
But how many things are gonna be added 
That's what I was thinking. If he doesn't do boons he'll probably be like Daedalus 2
And he might just be like Sisyphus and show up randomly
Or like after the Hydra you step into his forge or whatevs
That would be pretty amazing
[raises hand] actually it's a common assumption that hestia specifically abdicated her place among the Main Olympians to give it to dionysus but there's nothing to support that (whether that's true in hades is up to sgg of course)
I just find it odd that they've made her the goddess of fire
Fireplace, sure
that's basically what a hearth is, right?
The real answer is that Achilles was having a bit too much of that ambrosia youve been giving him
Maybe she's the goddess of firepower
Makes sense if she made an assault rifle/nade launcher
stop saying soup its scaring me
soap
Sheep
guys.....
Ok ok.
hestia will be in a random room like Sisyphus, and give you some soup, to heal you
How did hestia get into Hades?
[raises hand] the hearth was symbolic of the home but also the symbolic center of the state, so as the hearth goddess, hestia was not only the goddess of family, but also of the state and government
Hestia just walked in
Turns out that while security is quite tough on trying to break out
but gun is cool too
They have no idea how to handle someone trying to get in
as long as we're window shopping for deities i'd love to see hecate
she lives in the underworld
i imagine she just got her own place somewhere, doesn't have to live in the soapbox drama set that is the house of hades
Ok so how does hestia get out then?
From the Chimney ofc

How to tell the next update is approaching? All the SG folks are playing Hades 😆

Does the screen that appears sometimes before a run that calls me a oaf mean anything ?
They are called remembrances, and are just a bit of background lore
Ah ok
Flashes of presumably significant memories Zag has of his childhood/adolescence
ooo, time to scroll back thru the feedback channel 👀 👀 👀
I really hope Hephaestus's blacksmithing powers turn our Cast into sentry turret seeds.
7 days until the day

Wait what's the date in America
I just messed up my calender
oh wait I can just count backwards
It's the 5th
im tired
I blame Hypnos
Shouldn't we get a Twitter teaser for the new update today?
maybe!
Hm. It seems they did the tease for the Good Times update a week before release but the one for the Chaos update was when there were just five days left to go. I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be today, then.
Teaser would be great
welcome!
Been a big Supergiant fan ever since i bought Transistor as my second launch title for ps4 besides Watch Dogs, great to finally be amongst friends!
🤝 Transistor was my first game too! What do you think of Hades so far?
It's great! I love the story and art as always, gameplay is superb again.
Coming as a fan and also as a long-time noclip backer it's really everything i've expected it to be and more.
So far i've cleared what can be cleared currently twice with the shield, and also somewhere between doing it with the sword and the gun next.
👏
which gods have legendary boons? i only got legendary boons from artemis and zeus only
They all have legendary boons, they're just rare to receive .
It took me 44 runs before I finally saw a legendary Artimis boon.
to be able to get a legendary boon from a god you need certain other prerequisite boons
if you don't get them, you will never, ever see the legendary
quick question, when theres like two boons in one room, and it says the other god "grew displeased", does that mean anything?
it means they'll spawn enemies to attack you and then get over it
it has no lasting effects
Oh ok, i thought it like, removed a heart from their codex thing.
that'd blow
this might have been asked before but if the game is released and we would like to add it to our steam account will we have to buy it again?
(as there is no steam early access)
Yes
oh well. i don't mind. transistor is still my favourite game and has one of my favourite soundtracks. so i feel like they deserve the money. let's hope hades is just as good. i'm going to buy it when i get home
when will it be published on Steam?
check #hades-faq!
thanks
Oooh dev response to #hades-feedback for next patch
One guy has a sickle. That should be Chronos, if I am not mistaken 😄
Thanatos, calling it now
well thats thanatos
Fury update
My theory: the three new voiced characters are statues
the 3 fury sisters
you know which ones
THREE?
Fury, maybe Charron
hello there meg's sisters!
fate sisters
thanatos and the two other furies are my bet
I think meg is in the back
furys
FURIES
YESS
Thanatos and the Furies look like freaking PILLARMEN
Ah, how lovely! It looks like the rest of the Furies!
hahaha plz add pan
spider man
we need more furry
You know we be getting the other furies
you can see the two in the back holding whips and they have a wing each
Furries!!
2 harpies and boat dude
Also, possible face reveals too?!?
Hype
Do yall know who the new voices are? 👀
Maybe Charron
cant help but hope its something like this
yay furies time 
Im a bit surprised about the scythe though
But fire would be dot right
FURIE HYPE
Charron VO? No more "Eeeerrrrgh"? I don't think so. It's too perfect
We already have a dot
Where would they put the harpies
Since thats not usually Thanatos thing And we need to be the ones wielding a scythe later
Furies*
the guy in the front ahs a sickle/scythe. That should be Chronos., cause he is the only Greek god really known for having a sickle
But yeah, its Thanatos, he even has his standard sword on the side
My money is on a new area
Tbh, Thanatos would fit the bill as a new boss imo
so, furies and thanatos?
and then having the furies as part of the boss fight
My bet is on Bouldy voice over
lol
Heh imagine if the only thing they added was the three characters and you can only speak with them

MAssive trollage
Hecate 
Bouldy boons when
Bouldy: . . .
Yeah Thanatos is likely the new boss
A new voice: the boulder stares at you.
All the boons are named ". . ."
seems like the two fury sisters will join in, i wonder what their purpose will be
Thanatos and Meg's sisters
i hope for new bosses
i believe it may be the other 2 furies... and perhaps.....death himself
isn't it thanatos tho?
OR maybe itll be a random chance between those 2 and meg for a fight before asphodel
If Thanatos is in, the new Furies could be like a miniboss room in a new area
I wonder who that could be
when i google greek myth and scythe i find cronus/kronos
the god of time?
. . .: Your attack deals +40% damage to pillars
. . .: Your special deals +60% damage to pillars
. . .: Your dash spawns a pillar where you were
. . .: Your cast is replaced with a pillar
Yeaht the Scythe is unusual for Thanatos
But he was already namedropped a bunch in this patch
And he has his sword with him
Id say its a safe bet that its Thanatos
Bouldy's new boon for dashing, that instead of dashing you roll like a boulder, the longer you "roll" the more damage you deal. Sounds possible
It is very likely that it's the god of death though, since the skeletal appearance is a pretty western approach to the grim reaper
And last patch, Meg was like "Lord hades is getting upset with me"
Maybe we get the Scythe weapon by stealing it from him
Sooooo
What if
yes
Thanatos the grim reaper
Megs boss fight gets replaced by 2 of the furies at random
"This is getting out of hand"
Yeah i heard it from ||hypnos|| a bunch of times the thanatos one
"Now there are two of them"
I think with all the new dialogue I'm gonna start an entirely new save file so I can experience it at the right pace
Thanatos and the other two furies
seems pretty obvious to me tbh
👀
risu
Mini boss fights maybe?
the scythe is coming
hello
well in the background is definitely the fates
Yugioh harpies
i saw!
Like big Gorgon head
didnt people ask for hypnos brother too? that being thanatos?
imma yoink the scythe
its almost time
probably from the boss xD
Not the fates, the furies
Unfortunately this makes it more likely that we wont get a scythe
Which sucks, I want a scythe
i get them mixed up
Fs out for the scythe
Yeah, I wanted a scythe as well
idk I feel thanatos would prolly be opening a new area in the lobby
scyFe
F
@wet reef there isnt really a god of death in greek mythology besides Hades. Only Chronos comes to my mind when we talk about guys with sickles...
The scythe is cool, but Not really greek but more medival?
Hypnos' brother is Thanatos, yes, and Thanatos is usually depicted as a grim reaper-type character
wings, scythe, etc.
But thanathos will be so great
I just want the two doors at the start to be open 
the current fury has one wing and a whip, the two in the back have one wing and whips and the guy in front has a scythe...
pretty obvious i m o
neither are guns
I mean i hope we get a scythe
oo good point
With aoe dmg or smth
But, yes, Thanatos wielding Cronus' scythe along with Meg's sisters...fighting them all at once?
we better
it doesn't even look like he wields the scythe as a weapon
maybe just for intimidation or by adoption of beliefs
it's a floating scythe
lol
The scythe is actually a character
:D
Anything from the dialogue that could help us about thanatos?
He lets go of his scythe to flip through his book and the scythe just floats there
omg the scythe has a face and is Bouldy's cousin
Bouldy likes Rock music. His cousin Scythu likes Metal
We only know that Thanatos is a busy man and kinda lost
dont tell me about soul eater or im gonna start screaming
those are some badass silhouettes
anyhoo I am saddended that we won't get any Orpheus or Sisyphus art in this patch
one day we will
Kronos used a sickle, not a scythe
one day
A scythe is just a longer sickle
have hope
well I mean
bigger handle
When thanathos gets back to Hades house hypnos and nxy could be a happy family again
the front figure in the announcement has a scythe on its back but they also appear to have a sword, which thanatos is ascribed as having sheathed on his belt
the scythe is purely for aesthetics
Sword? Lost? Is Thanatos Zoro?
"KINGS GET THE SWORD"
Thanatos isn't traditionally depicted with a scythe but the whole "winged humanoid" and "bringer/entity of death" fits with the current depiction of the grim reaper, so he's usually given one
ooooooo more Furies
Yeah the Scythe is definitely aesthetic and a modern interpretation
what about the other two? if that's thanatos then perhaps they're the keres?
The sword is the important part
the other furies
you can see the shape of one wing each, they have ponytails, and a whip
and ponytails
Its a shame he wont have a row of coffin-wings tho
I wonder if they be like meg
lmao uno
Thanatos is usually depicted as a cute guy
well you're in greece
So dont rule him out
where all the men are burly and gay
So lets take a quick wiki dive and
Alecto – Punisher of moral crimes
Megaera – Punisher of infidelity, oath breakers, and theft
Tisiphone – Punisher of murderers
Which makes sense why Meg is always after Zag
technically we murdered meg
is killing dead people considered murder?
Can you truly murder an immortal?
Pfff
Only because they are dead
doesn't mean we killed them
Gods don't die when they are killed
oh i thought it might be charon
🤔
they did say "new" fully voiced characters
nah the announcement states it's three new voiced characters
but appearantly Charon and Thanatos are related
2 other furies?
And yeah, Id say new Zone has a pretty good chance
Well in the game, Thana is meant to be Zag's bro
So he'll probably be more like him than Charon
If the new zone is Elysium
I hope that, at some point, we will get Heracles as a miniboss
But
With every room having a chance to turn into his miniboss room
Including several times in a row
I think that would be last zone?
maybe thanatos and hypnos will be switching on the lobby
Like you accidentally walk into a room and find a bunch of dead stuff already
because there are times where hypnos isn't present
Isles of the Blessed, or the Overworld are likely
Oh, thats true
And Heracles is just there like 'sup dude'
Heracles just comes in crashing through the wall
Killing the enemies already in the room
Before flexing and challenging you to a fight
It's confirmed next biome is Elysium, but it hasn't been confirmed when we're getting it
At first Zag is taken by surprise until he gets annyoed by just hearing an enemy getting beaten up in the distance
I need more biomes , more levels , more floors , more everything 
Btw, they said they only want to add one olympian, but they have to add Apollo and hermes
"have to"
Elysium gets three miniboss rooms and all of them are the murderboat
Hermes late game .. for speedrunners?
Bouldy no
Hermes would make sense

And i picture him to be pretty funny in Hades
@frigid tide like the one in the disney hercules?
2 new fury sisters and thanatos
Hahahahaha
I think the big gods that are left are Hera, Hephaestus, Hestia, Hermes and Apollo. I think in Coronacht's lore it says that Hera's got better stuff to do, and in Exagryph's thing it says how Hestia is all reclusive
Meg's sisters time 8D
Hephaestus could totally be like Daedalus 2 as a random NPC, same as Sisyphus
Imagine a Titan update where we dive deeper in the lore
they were just born with ponytails
Or its's mandatory dresscode, cant have your hair floating around everywhere when on duty whipping people ^^
but I kinda like the born with it idea :D
Maybe they were born with, but maybe it's Maybelline™
I just want to see the pantry/bar full with everyone drinking because they've been killed by zag
and then Zag gets there and at that point everyone just cheers
and Hades just goes
"all right everyone, back to work it is!"
cheeeeeeeeeeeeeers
and off in the distance you hear Hynos gasping and his Notepad falling on the floor as the shattering glasses woke him from his daydreaming^^
Oooohhhh Heracles intro idea
You go into a room and it starts off normal but then some giant miniboss creature thing comes slamming down from the sky at half health or whatever and you have to kill it
My bet is on Thanatos
And once you do Heracles just comes jumping down with one of the bosses in each hand, slams them together and challenges you
New update coming up HYPE
Goth update
zag gets heavy eyeliner
Gothest update
Zag becomes a silhouette
Bring me to life plays in the background
wake me up, wake me up inside
wow i cant believe supergiant is copying marvel and adding thanos to the game
whip me up (whip me up inside)
thanos time babey
I'd say from the silhouettes that those are the other two harpies and a grim reaper
do we get a new weapon that is the glove?

my favorite harpy is 
New weapon: just use your fists
the special kills half of the enemies in the room
Punch weapon
zag decides weapons are for losers
"So you're not going in with a weapon eh boyo? Wanna be a pacifist?"
"No I want to punch them"
Punch skelly's head off
Float and punch
Float and punch
ah yes the ol float and punch
Can I get a weapon that is just more casts?
special is pull out a cast for minor damage
And the special is just Zag T-posing and spinning really fast
ekfhskjfks
Lmao
It's like ares´ blade rift
good evening, somewhere I heard that 80 gods are planned for the game
you ARE the blade rift, zag
LOL
8
zag vs meg fistfight
oh my 80 gods
I would pay to watch zag and meg fist fight
Zag gets knuckle dusters?
Zag uses the hammer instead of first for +50% damage
lmao
Hammer time
Special is Zag spins with the hammer, increasing range
Strap hammer on fists
Instead of upgrading your fists you just grab the hammer and swing it at people
^^
Yes
We all open up Hades after the patch
"Hey, kid.
Wake up."
ghsdkgj
Suddenly: Bastion
It al circles back in the end

kjhfsfjs
I love it
a while ago lmao
omg
Smack
whenever you die you just fall thrugh the floor
bastion 2
Bastion but Roguelike
this is how zag arrives in olympus... a bastion reference...
no bastion 2 is just ||when you decide to rewind time||
And then suddenly, Zag is pulling his sword out of Meg
And a voice in his head as the sword glows
New weapon: Trusty Hammer
When playing with that Rucks actually becomes the announcer
And we have Batisistordes
Sword is ||persephone||
Bastransispyredes
Maybe skins for the weapons 🤔
Uuuh hammer for...shield?
Transistor for Sword
Orb for Rail
A carriage trundles along the desert, and the members look out to see someone laying in the sand

Absolutely cheeky message passing between sisyphus and thanatos is a requirement
That is all I want
That sweet sweet literary reference
Also, since the Cthonic guys are supposed to be british
Please make Thanatos the most posh boy possible
Greg should voice him
And make the other 2 furies as scottish as possible
thanatos, seeing sisyphus slacking off with zag: roight wots all dis den
Thats not posh
im not british
Hey. Is it just my aging computer, or does the game really struggle to keep up with command in certain situations?
I notice it expecially with dashing, with notable variance in the time between them.
jojo reference!!!!
im still watching jojo please don't spoil ;P
Dashing is far less responsive in current state I've noticed
Plot Twist: Thanatos is an angry scot
OCH YE BLIMEY BASTERD YER GONNA MEET THA BISNESS END A MY STICK
Ok discord is glitching out on me
The new announcement on this server specifically perpetually gives off a notification, regardless of how many times i mute or see it
yea some people were having the same issue in #off-topic-discussion earlier, not sure whats up with that
So, most people are pretty much agreed that the new god we're getting is Thanatos, god of death, since you can clearly make out a scythe in the picture. However, I find it unlikely that a cthonic god so close to hades would be so quick to help you. However, there is a different being in greek mythology that is linked with the scythe. Chronos, the titan. While I believe this is also unlikely, I find it more likely that Chronos would help you than Thanatos helping you. Chronos has motive, being that he (most likely) resents Hades, and while he may not have the means via greek mythology, rules can be bent since it's a video game, and doesn't follow strictly to greek mythology.
I'm just saying that the being isn't confirmed, and while it may be likely that it is Thanatos, we shouldn't count our chickens before they hatch.
Chronos resents all Greek gods, he wouldn’t help Zag if any others were. And how would he even be able to communicate or know who Zag even is and what his situation is?
“Oh sure I will help you get to Olympus while I am still stuck down here”
Definitely not Chronos if it is an ally
new characters doesn't necessarily mean they're gonna give boons, tho
or even help you at all
Wasn't there a line somewhere alluding to Thanatos
Fair enough, but rules and situations may be slightly different than in Greek mythology, in order to allow for fun expansions and stories. Yes, they would have to jump through many hoops (and I confess it is terribly unlikely) for them to put in Chronos, that's not the point. The point is that the god isn't confirmed, and that Thanatos isn't known for using a scythe, he's known for a sword.
There are a couple yeah
Yes
Like in Hypnos' journal log or something
I’m just saying, if it is Chronos, he is not helping Zag
To be fair, SGG has been lifting heaven and hell imagery heavily
Like associating hades and zag with fire
Which is a distinctly christian-hell thing to do
But yeah this morning when I saw the image I immediately thought Thanatos and the other two furies
So if they decided to swap thanatos' sword for a more reaper-like weapon I wouldn't be shocked
Oh absolutely the two furies
it hasn't been swapped, assuming that's him in the image - there's a shape on his hip that seems distinctly like a sheathed sword
sgg: "both is good"
he's pulling a taako
maybe zag gets the scythe, who knows? (before y'all call me dumb this is a joke)
using a super-powerful weapon as a fashion accessory
I don’t expect a new weapon already
I feel like if we're due any kind of weapon it'll probably be some big heavy thing
Either a hammer or some gauntlet-y things
Is it just me or what? I sort of hope Thanatos is the boss in Elysium 
That way, Zag has to defeat death in order to escape death.
That being said, adding a new biome isn’t impossible for the new update, it’s just very unlikely 
yeah, seems unlikely for sure ^^;
he could still be a final boss...maybe they're just doing something different with him for now
why are we assuming he's on zag's side?
[defeats thanatos] guess ill never die
I still don’t know why many people just assume all new characters will help zag and give him boons
(Death Vanquished)
gkjdfhgkjdfhgdf we just lock him in a box and can't die until he gets out, sisyphus style
time trial 😂
@void vigil yeah me too, where’s the challenge in that 
@limpid goblet drunk strats
Ez
wait no i know this isn't happening but i'm very much in love with the idea now of a time trial where you try to fight your way out of an area before thanatos gets out of the box and murders you gdkjhgkdf
"thatanos naptime"
zag: hey sisyphus, thanatos has really been kicking my ass recently, do you have any tips on dealing with him
sisyphus: do you have a wife?
zag: ...i have an....ex.....
sisyphus: hm. would they be willing to throw your corpse into an agora somewhere
zag: absolutely.
sisyphus: they'll do
hey there's an upside of having thanatos in the game even if he's not a boss - sisyphus has some history with that dude gfkjfhgkjfdg
"do i get to kill you first" "uhhh sure" "deal."
OH MORE SISY CONVO???
sisyphus invented death defies
zag: do you ever just use a death defy
sisyphus: haha i do that...
it would be funny if death defies actually work by like distracting thanatos instead of just being like a last boost of willpower or something gkjdfgfd
one of these is a shonen anime trope and one of them is a cat with a laser pointer
hjgfhjfhjfhjfhj yes
purble bath,,
@alpine stratus did someone say more sisy CONVOS?! 
I HOPE SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah, Death Defies are just you punching Thanatos in the face and scurrying off
What if Death Defies are just Zag going "No U" to Thanatos
zag gives thanatos the finger and dashes away and thanatos has to spend a couple minutes deciding if he really wants to keep doing this
death defies are like when you're playing a pretend game with your friends and they're like "and then you DIE" and you're like "nuhuh i had super mega armor on i'm not dead so THERE"
HJFHJFHJ
Just imagine if during the Thanatos boss fight
If you defy death
Zag goes "nuh uh, that one didnt count"
And Thanatos just says "why do I have to put up with this"
hell smarts
too bad it most likely wouldn’t be the case
R.I.P. boss
i imagine zag is the youngest of the "siblings" so everybody at all times is somewhere between like genuinely frustrated and "be like that"
it do be like that sometimes
IT do
I just want Hypnos to tell me to win so he can see his bro
i reckon its gonna be thanatos and 2 furies
You meet Thanatos and he turns around, T-Poses, and starts singing The Confrontation from Les Mis (how I greet my siblings, older and younger)
Zagreus, at a reasonable volume: Hello, brother
Thanatos, shouting at the top of his lungs: Valjean,
poseidon: hello, my favorite nephew!
me, thinking about how many sons zeus has: heheheheh
so the 3 new characters are the remaining Fury sisters and Thanatos, right? That's a scythe right there if I've ever seen one
yea, i think that's what everyone will guess just based on their silouiettes, the females in the background have wings and claws after all so they'd have to be harpies, and the only ones we know will be voiced for certain are the other two furies, wonder if this means we'll meet up with Meg in sisiphysus's room from now on?(they are the ones who are supposed to be forcing him to push the boulder uphill after all)
oh. oh dear.
youre right, if shes not away in the boss room......she'll be watching him.....
poor sisiphysus, no more breaks except for when zag comes to flirt with meg
*with Sisyphus
meg watching over his shoulder like "zag used to talk to me like that"
#MegOnelove.
and as you leave you hear him scream in pain as she decides the break is over
😱
noo
I don't like that at all
well it is the underworld, Grim things like that would just be par for the course heh
Sobs
if he wasn't dead he'd probably be covered in scars anyways, cause odds are when you get past meg she takes it out on him
I bet one of the other two characters is one of the other furies.
Either Alecto or Tisiphone.
@dull iron why not both? the devs said they’re adding 3 characters right?
they both appear to have one wing, same as meg
We're living on a wing and a flayer
Whoooaa-ohh
I wonder if the meg boss will be switch betweent he 3
yea im curious about that as well
I could see it something as
after x amount of losses hades retires meg
because she failed so much

and the others take over
yep im very fearful for that
from strictly a gameplay perspective that would be super cool tho
hey maybe it means after she gets the boot she can be more buddy buddy with zag
gets rid of that workplace romance problem
or friendship
or whatever
i want the other two furies to be extremely condescending and/or extremely murderous to zag
it's just that, if meg is supposedly the nicest one
yea it would only make sense
"look, it's meg's boytoy! let's rip him to shreds >:D"
ahhh i love it but also poor zag :(
the other furies may be thanatos' backups too
like meg's mob spawns, or the hydra's extra heads
ohhhhh thatd be really cool too
of interest: thanatos's groupie girls are a thing
but i'm still 99% sure it's the furies anyways
what if the other two furies are a complete 180 from meg and are like super nice but then become extremely murderous
like they're always happy to see zag and meg and then they team up to destroy him
(on ellen)
ellen: so i heard you want to escape from hell
zag: yeah
(thousands of wretches show up on stage)
zag: omg ellen you didnt
So it's 2 furies i guess : Allecto & Tisiphone. And the 3rd one is probably Thanatos
Wait so is there a new Boss? o:
@bright wolf nah, we’re just guessing
Plot Twist: The three new characters are the two other Furies and Bob the Farmer. That's just his regular scythe he used to cut the wheat.
the shade of bob the farmer is a central character in zag's drama
check the pinned post in #hades-feedback
Wait wait wait wait
What if instead of Thanatos the first one is a Keres?
I'm like 75% convinced it's Thanatos but
Keres were like all female reapers
Man, Thanatos’ arm is looking kinda weak, I was expecting him to be buff, but check out his right arm, he doesn’t even lift
Unless that's a girl
What if his left arm is alot stronger than his right arm 
he's Tryndamere?
Thats the other way around though
he's Aatrox prerework?
since the old lore was that Aatrox cut off Tryndamere's arm and replaced it with his own
No this is on topic!
What if he like
heals
Now Aatrox is just really pissed and yells at everything
okay I'll go to off topic, but
Just a question do we know when the new update will be live?
March 12th. The actual time the patch goes live varies. The past few times it's been in the afternoon.
Revert Aatrox
cmon bruh, new aatrox is at least satisfying....until they removed his second e charge.......
give aatrox a gun
#off-topic-discussion , please!
alright xD
I have like 3 different things happening on March 12th
it's gonna be great
got a test, Hades patch and probably apex legends update
Still tho, more indications that Thanatos is a boss: there's an interaction between hades and hypnos, where hades says something like "If only you were more like your brother, at his post dutifully" or something
👀
the unfavorite child FeelsBadMan
[ orpheus on ellen ]
ellen: so i heard you want to get your wife back from the underworld
orpheus: omg you didn’t
eurydice comes out
orpheus: turns around
eurydice disappears

Oof
fave
no bulli
oof :((
So any proofs that we will get a new boss? I cant find any of them if they exist
it's all just speculation right now
we know nothing
gonna have to wait until the update drops!
We are all John Snow now
yea
ah I found it
It's highly likely that the shadows are the ||furies|| so I'm assuming theyll be enemies since that's kinda what they been referred to as in the game
Does anyone else find it weird that Hades is listed under the Chthonic gods rather than Olympians?
He doesn’t like to refer to himself as Olympian
I guess
And he's isolated himself downstairs so he's not really an Olympian anymore
It just feels weird not seeing him as part of that list
I think the two in the background are the 2 remaining furies, But the guy with the scythe could be Cronos maybe? He's probably the person most commonly depicted holding a scythe
But who knows xD
Also Cronos has close ties with the Furies in Greek mythology (They came from his genitals), So It's possible
Although Thanatos is still a safer bet
I don't know if we've heard Cronos mentioned at all in the game yet have we?
one theory is that ||the logan narrator is kronos or some other titan trapped in tartarus and trying to get out||
If that is the case, why would ||we still get narration after we leave Tartarus?||
we do
||like, he's physically trapped in tartarus but can reach his influence beyond it. like how the olympians can send boons down to you||
how do i put spoilers?
||like this||
so i put the
thingys on each side?
||test||
okay cool i can do this now
||kronos is the titan of time, it only makes sense for him to be capable of reaching everywhere, even outside of tartarus||
||kronos is the titan of harvest and the one who did the baby eating thing, chronos is the personification of time. different entities with coincidentally similar names @_@||
||aren't they often depicted as the same though? I recall reading something about how even the greeks mixed them up||
||well chronos is latin for time right?||
guys, if you're conducting entire conversations inside spoiler tags, it may be a smart idea to move to #h1-story-discussion ;P
||but spoiler tags are fun||
|| Not that fun 😄 ||
I just beat the current game for the first time. yay
yay!!!
Congrats

Is there a way to make Hades click to move and keyboard to attack? Or is that not how the game is meant to be played?
I'm literally only like a second into the game
But thats how i played bastion and transistor
There's an option in settings to rebind controls, yes
5 days
yeah it’s 5, IF you’re in certain time zones 
ahhh the new update
it seems that it currently is testing time. alot of SGG are playing hades right now
cuteee
i can never remember if its thatanos or thanatos and i better learn before he shows up hjfhjfhjfhj
speaking of thanos, time to share this thing someone else on this server made when hades first released https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/456936596227358720/536041840638558258/unknown.png
I don't remember who did this but they are cursed forever

WHAT
"Perfectly balanced, boy."
I hate this
I honestly wish I remembered who made it
I believe this is the one you're looking for https://discordapp.com/channels/456889434672201729/456936596227358720/536041842072879104
final boss fight
Zagreus finally defeats Hades, free to escape from hell
"Any last words before I leave, Father?"
"Y-... You should have gone for the head " * snaps fingers *
That's great!! Please keep final boss discussion to the spoiler channels though ^^
meg: WHY. WONT. YOU. DIE.
zag after picking up 3 death defiances before her fight: heh, i already have 6 alternative lives!
i have been offered a death defiance at every well so far
every single one
What if meg just wants zag to dye her hair
So how early access is this game actually? Is there a proper ending to it and they're just adding characters and items and stuff? or are they also adding more areas and plot
I'm not very far in rn
You can see a roadmap for development by clicking the major update button in the bottom right hand corner of the main menu screen
#hades-faq also has an FAQ
in short, it's got about a year and a half to go, probably, with most of the emphasis during EA being on polishing gameplay systems and getting all the art and music finished
Ahh ok i see, so asphodel is the last zone rn
Yeah
@olive jungle sorry, I forgot not to mention the name of the boss, got too excited ^^;;; apologies.
I deleted it
Okay, so I am offically in love with this game
I got all the weapons except for the last one
What is everyone's favorite weapon?
Shield!!
Gun
Bow 
Not a popular choice but I think all the others are a smidge too specialised, great in X situation but awful in Y,
A lot of Bastion's weapons were like that but in that game; you could switch weapons fairly frequently so you could adapt to suddenly fighting a different array of enemies fairly quickly, But in Hades; one weapon has to get you through the whole thing,
so Shield is my favourite and probably best over all, for players at my middle-of-the-road skill level, because it's so adaptable
Spear
Adamant Rail since it rewards positioning and ammo management, and I love every single Daedalus upgrade
Shield and Sword
Spear! I love the hybrid melee/ranged playstyle!
Spear
Def the weapon you can do the most with once fully optimized
20 million animation cancels, and a decent enough damage output for all skill levels
I've been hearing a lot about cruel skewer and havent got it once

I don't think weapons are skill capped
Spear is no easier nor harder to use effectively than shield
Spear
