#

good job getting that far though!!!

balmy valve Jun 19, 2019, 2:26 AM

#

I don't think I'm going to use the Restrict Powerup Options pact again

#

It was brutal

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 2:26 AM

#

Yeah, that's a rough one

balmy valve Jun 19, 2019, 2:27 AM

#

I was like 'hey this is worth 15 heat altogether, and I think I could deal with it'

#

NOPE

quasi sleet Jun 19, 2019, 2:56 AM

#

IMO putting 30 heat in the limited darkness one really makes 60 heat way easier

#

tho arguably less fun, epic boons are pretty sweet

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 2:58 AM

#

limited darkness is fairly easy to run with

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 3:18 AM

#

In non-heat runs if you just get dashing wallop on shield, divine dash, and then doom on special, the whole thing becomes an absolute face roll

#

I was just mashing left-click/q/space and didn't care about damage at all

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

This game is freaking great though

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

Tenebrous Veil is the toughest Pact, change my mind.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:03 AM

#

What about capping out healing reduction or damage increase?

#

I feel like those will always be hard, whereas tenebrous can vary so much depending on luck

#

Though I will say I never really play Tenebrous because it seems so unfun. I'd play low darkness runs any day over Tenebrous

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 4:05 AM

#

Even with healing reduction and damage increase, if you've got good boons and your DPS is good, you can have an ok time

#

Tenebrous practically removes the option to have a good loadout except in the most fortunate of cases

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

I have found 100% healing reduction to be unplayable, but maybe I haven't tried it enough

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

Though I will say: whipped frenzy Sucks

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:07 AM

#

Yeah, playing no heat runs again was so pleasant

#

So much less of a frenetic pace

flat vapor Jun 19, 2019, 4:07 AM

#

whipped frenzy alecto is a run-killer

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:07 AM

#

Seriously

#

whipped frenzy and 300%-400% damage increase on her

#

Hellish

#

So nice when you get a meg spawn

#

She is the easiest by far

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:08 AM

#

Oh, that's why I hate Whipped Frenzy so much.

#

I think Tisiphone is solved.

#

I just never actually fully take over from muscle memory so I don't read her tells every time.

flat vapor Jun 19, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

i was actually having a good run earlier doing a joke heat build; whipped, tolerance, and vicious all maxed

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

I guess that's only with a ranged build, though.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

Do you all find bow special to be way too slow to contend with max whipped frenzy?

vapid drift Jun 19, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

tisiphone is really easy, tbh

flat vapor Jun 19, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

because dashing wallop is literally S-tier

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

I can never make it work

vapid drift Jun 19, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

she has like three attacks and 100% predictable patterns

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

I got Dashing Wallop with something nutty recently.

#

What Joan said.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

dashing wallop is the absolute best

livid cargo Jun 19, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

preach, zane

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

If she doesn't start running at you, you're basically 100% safe instantly.

flat vapor Jun 19, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

i figured out tisiphone pretty early on, bc when the other furies first came out she appeared like 70% of the time

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

Huh, I must just suck and not pay attention against Tisiphone, is she the green or the red one, by the way?

vapid drift Jun 19, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

if she's running at you she's trying to dash-dash-whip

#

green

flat vapor Jun 19, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

she still does

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

Rail destroys her, and then you can even lure out the thrash easily to put her in place for Bombard.

vapid drift Jun 19, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

and all you do is get near her then dash away and liiiiike... nah. she's no trouble at least if you properly respect the range on those dashes like I don't

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

Ah okay, yeah I think I just suck when I face her

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

Is it weird that I'm more excited for story elements whenever Meg shows up than for the easy boss fight?

vapid drift Jun 19, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

not really!

#

the story is a lot of hades's draw.

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

The Supergiant writers are so good.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

Yeah, after playing so many games without voice acting and then playing Hades I had so much more respect for all of the voice acting

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

And the devs are so nutty, too.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

It has so much

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

zane Dude, Avalon Penrose's voice does stuff.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

And it's not terribly written like most video games

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

Imagine if it got full-tilt animated and "shot" scenes.

vapid drift Jun 19, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

yeah. there's just... there's so much here? it's wonderful. it has amazing writing. it's not finished but it feels finished. smooth. excellent.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

I have no idea who that is 😃

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

It feels like a very short but well-made game.

#

zane Meg's voice actress.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

Yeah seriously, other than some balance it really does feel finished

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

Darren as Zagreus is perfect.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

Oh okay, nice

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

Stinking. Perfect.

flat vapor Jun 19, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

i want zag to sing

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

The pace is just so great

flat vapor Jun 19, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

give it to me

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

onyx Yo.

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

Zag's Soft™ voice kills me

#

It slays me dead

#

darren corn pls

vapid drift Jun 19, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

on so many levels hades is excellent to play...

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

venspeediss You mean when he's talking yang under his breath?

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

Do any of you get some weird mouse feel sometimes though? Mostly I notice this with ranged weapons

#

Like, I don't think anything is wrong with my mouse

#

It just does not feel like it snaps properly at all

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

Okay, let me see if I can explain this.

#

Your cursor is marking the spot geometrically above where your shot lands.

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

nah like, mostly it's when he's talking to Than, he does it once when he's talking to Achilles
the Concern™

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

Effectively, aim at their feet.

vapid drift Jun 19, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

^

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

Huh, not sure if I can picture that, but thanks for the suggestion

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

No, really, just aim at their feet.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

Though even beyond actual aim

#

I am saying it feels sluggish

vapid drift Jun 19, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

for floating enemies aim at their shadow.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

Like it is not properly tracking, and I don't have issues in other games with my mouse

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:17 AM

#

Heck floating enemies, especially armored Brimstones when I'm running the Pierced Butterfly.

#

Just make them not attack from off-screen.

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

I wonder if it's mouse acceleration I am experiencing...

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

You ever run into Brimstones on a joke 500% VT run that spawn due north?

#

Okay, I'm done, it's out of my system.

tulip lava Jun 19, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

maybe turn down the dead zone setting?

#

in controls

#

if that's what's interfering with your aim

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

Oh, can't say I ever noticed that 😬 , what even is that?

tulip lava Jun 19, 2019, 4:22 AM

#

🤷

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:22 AM

#

hahaha, well maybe I will mess with it and see what it does tomorrow

#

Thanks for the suggestion

#

From google: "areas at the center of the joystick that count as zero"

#

So it may very well not have a place for M+KB

#

Similar to aim assist

tulip lava Jun 19, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

yeah idk if it's just a controller setting or what i just noticed you said mouse

#

maybe it's just regular lag?

elfin sparrow Jun 19, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

Yeah, thanks for the suggestion, that may very well solve my problem, so I really appreciate it

#

Off to bed. Nice talking to you all.

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 7:23 AM

#

Just got windmilled by a Greatshield on 100% VT and then it fired its Wind Scar through a pillar.

#

Blood.

#

And.

#

Darkness.

#

OH. HYPNOS JUST ASKED IF THEY DIDN'T LET THEIR GUARD DOWN AT ANY POINT.

#

Cheeky, SG. Very cheeky.

#

I guess that's my first GS death.

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 7:40 AM

#

i'm a fan of the lines zag has about how stupid it is to have a door lock tied to a fountain lol

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 7:42 AM

#

Any time Zag is sarcastic is amazing.

||"Oh no, not the flame of righteousness"||

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 7:44 AM

This is honestly a new contender for my favorite game of all-time.

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 7:45 AM

#

sgg's bringing their A-game for sure

#

i feel like pyre laid a lot of the groundwork for how the story is put together here, with the big cast and everything

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 7:46 AM

#

Ooh, that's a good point.

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 7:47 AM

#

and the fact that events can happen out of order - like the massive amounts of conditional convos just surrounding ||achilles and patroclus||

#

i've seen a combo of four or five friends and streamers each come across that set of interactions in different ways, which has been a treat

foggy kiln Jun 19, 2019, 10:49 AM

Aaaaaaaaaand I'm running late to work because I posted PARAGRAPHS in the feedback channel instead of... eating breakfast.

Is there a maximum number of times where the Eye of Llamia (not sure of the spelling) can be triggered in the same room ?

#

Posted it on another channel but maybe someone here knows

hexed smelt Jun 19, 2019, 12:06 PM

i think it might be three?

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 12:07 PM

Man the wait is gonna suck

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 12:09 PM

feral leaf Jun 19, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

Hmm I feel like hermes' boon where you touch enemies and they slow down is way better than his legendary

lapis mirage Jun 19, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

I got my first clear with my 15th run! slapHYPERS

#

I was using Shield with Doom Special and somehow stacked up to 6 Death Defiances at Theseus and Asterius. Somehow. I knew I nabbed 2 from Charon's plus the three from the mirror. But I don't know how I got more. Any other way that you gain more of them?

unkempt sleet Jun 19, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

NPC in Elysium, Athena, and Chaos.

lapis mirage Jun 19, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

Didn't run into any of them/their boons. So I probably nabbed three from Charon's shop without noticing.

#

But yay! First clear. Doom Shield is so much fun.

topaz lake Jun 19, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

finally beat game on 15 heat

#

and all i get is

regal pagoda Jun 19, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

I have proven that the game can be beaten using nothing else but the spear special

#

I lost my will to keep going a couple times on the long rocky road though.

feral leaf Jun 19, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

Good job tho! That must have been hard as Hell

regal pagoda Jun 19, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

It was.

#

I recorded it, the video is on the Self-promo channel.

#

At least I managed to get THAT out of the whole situation 😄

lean ferry Jun 19, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

now for 30 heat @topaz lake

and then 60

and then 120

topaz lake Jun 19, 2019, 7:28 PM

#

dude

#

after that run

#

i did a first time spear run

#

and i won

#

no heat tho

#

i run butterfly on heat runs

#

and big enemy dmg

#

so i can't get hit

#

or i die

lean ferry Jun 19, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

butterfly is just such a good addon tbh

if you are good enough you get a significant buff to all damage by the time you get into asphodel and elysium

#

but yeah the spear is a solid weapon

#

i usually go with the shield or the rail myself, but sometimes ill use the bow or spear

brisk trail Jun 19, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

Universal 30% damage up (even on stuff like Doom, Poison, and Cast) is amazing. The sword is starting to coalesce as a high skill weapon to me, which I think is awesome.

#

Aegis is definitely the easiest weapon to use, and Dashing Wallop is definitely one of the best Hammer upgrades, but everything else is capable of matching its DPS with the right build.

#

A Strike Chaos Boon, Cruel Thrust, and Deadly Strike mean I'm putting out well over 300 damage any time I crit. It's great.

lean ferry Jun 19, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

i feel like the sword is a high risk high reward kind of weapon because you have to get very close to use it, but it does solid damage

rigid grotto Jun 19, 2019, 9:47 PM

“Aegis is the easiest” would you like to be a part of the church of Sudden Rush

I wonder what the most number of rerolls anyone has

#

It’s 8 or 10 I forget

hexed smelt Jun 19, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

max is ten

#

takes 165,000 darkness to get all 10 though so i don't think anyone's done it Legitimately yet

lusty wasp Jun 19, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

i legitimately got 8 but the rest, yea - only gets worse

#

but its certainly possible for some to have all

Is there anywhere they have more wallpapers of the various Gods? I've only seen Hermes super small rez but the art is GORGEOUS

olive jungle Jun 19, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

For wallpapers, I think the only stuff is what's on the Hades page of the official website

lean cloud Jun 20, 2019, 1:46 AM

#

165,000 darkness to get 10 rolls on Fated Authority?

split swift Jun 20, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

I'm working on a project, does anyone have a good reference image for the twisty symbol that shows up all over the place?

#

Hades's beard, the gold, etc.

#

I believe people refer to it as the mark of hades, if that helps

I thought it was Hades's mustache

vapid drift Jun 20, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

it is, but hades's mustache is also very pliers-shaped

radiant tangle Jun 20, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

I think that's just how his mustache is

olive jungle Jun 20, 2019, 5:18 AM

it's like a spear, isn't it?

i never seen thanatos in my save (23 runs) 😦

#

someone have tips for kill Theseus ?

Yesterday i have good stuff but i die when he have 30% hp 😦

olive jungle Jun 20, 2019, 12:22 PM

#

Thanatos only starts showing up after your 23rd run

#

If you're having trouble with Theseus, it might be good to try shield? It's safer

#

Hermes' automatic cast + hunting blades (artemis/ares duo) is also very good

#

Piercing upgrades on bow and gun now go through his shield, so if you can build a strong bow special or gun attack and get that hammer, that could work

brisk trail Jun 20, 2019, 12:25 PM

#

Okey i save that for my next try, thanks !

PS : i just see the 23rd run for thanatos x) on wiki

finite zodiac Jun 20, 2019, 2:25 PM

hey does any1 have a save file i can download, i just lost mine thanks to an os reinstall and an epic games launcher issue

#

doesnt have to be 100% or anything but i had 10~ hours in the game, most of the mirror upgrades but very little heat really

brisk trail Jun 20, 2019, 4:43 PM

Alright, who are the monsters who ask Hermes to be quiet?

it feels really counter to the usual wholesome vibe of hades. being able to be nice to people and everything

hexed smelt Jun 20, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

here's a sad fact

#

if you tell hermes to be quiet, he won't even talk if you give him ambrosia

brisk trail Jun 20, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

I just want to talk. 🔪

#

I’m a spear and now and arrow main and I’ve gotten to Minotaur and Theseus I prioritize Ares and Artemis encounters what’s do I need to change to beat them

vital belfry Jun 20, 2019, 5:34 PM

#

Bow? Dash attack and crit attack Artemis builds. More importantly? Learn their movement/attack patterns. If you want to play Ares, play shield special for a safer clear.

brisk trail Jun 20, 2019, 5:36 PM

#

Ok

sterile peak Jun 20, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

why is it an option? many other characters are a lot more talkative than hermes and he doesn't even speak outside of taking his boons afaik

#

if anything, I'd like artemis to stop going on about how she knows how I feel every time she gives me a boon

granite pecan Jun 20, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

the dialogue is already easily skippable! it feels unnecessary and mean to just get rid of it entirely

sterile peak Jun 20, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

if he was making constant background noise like Falcon Ron, sure
but it seems odd to single out one character

granite pecan Jun 20, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

if only we could make hades shut up

#

but yeah i would really like if they removed that option from the game...it feels jarringly mean

hexed smelt Jun 20, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

i mean, if you think it feels mean, then.... don't tell him to be quiet?

granite pecan Jun 20, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

i know, but it feels weird that it’s even an option, and just for that character

#

why not have an option for everyone to be quiet, if that’s going to be a feature?

hexed smelt Jun 20, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

because none of the other characters 'work' for you? hermes seems to consider zag his boss

#

like, look me in the eye and tell me you think poseidon is going to be like "you want me to shut up? sure, okay! :D"

#

i get the feeling hermes is quite used to other people telling him to be quiet, which is why he asks zag about it

granite pecan Jun 20, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

now i hope that when the game is complete, there’s a bad ending, but only if you told hermes to be quiet

void vigil Jun 20, 2019, 6:23 PM

the game ends, nier automata style, and you’re brought back to the menu

Runners already time in-game timers AND total time. I assumed this was like, a way to make a little fun out of such things as a few mouse clicks.

they eventually got conflated as the same thing kinda

#

mythology is murky and prone to change so you just kinda have to accept the maybes and could be's

hexed smelt Jun 20, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

In Homeric literature, Apollo was clearly identified as a different god, a plague-dealer with a silver (not golden) bow and no solar features. The earliest certain reference to Apollo being identified with Helios appears in the surviving fragments of Euripides' play Phaethon in a speech near the end... [...] By Hellenistic times Apollo had become closely connected with the Sun in cult and Phoebus, the epithet most commonly given to Apollo, was later applied by Latin poets to the sun-god Sol.

halcyon heron Jun 20, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

So in terms of this game, we would probably see Apollo and no mention of Helios?

flat vapor Jun 20, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

basically helios was the first sun god and apollo was god of [other things] (like healing)

#

and then apollo just kinda. took the sun.

I'm guessing this enters the Spoiler channel territory

red coral Jun 21, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

What are the questions?

foggy kiln Jun 21, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

1-What have been some of the benefits or challenges of working with existing characters from the Mythology rather than creating entirely new characters like in previous games?
2-A major concern in all types of game design these days is the somewhat nebulous term of "Balance". What are the overall goals for the Design Team in terms of Balance? How will y'all know the game is in a Balanced state?

#

Thank you!

#

Meeting time!

weary ice Jun 21, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

I dont know where else to say this so ill say it here
Idk how many other god boons you plan on doing but I thought about some of them and I'd like to say it very briefly
Apollo: attacks debuff enemies making them take more damage from other attacks (this stacks) and a sleep effect
Demeter: roots and some form of increased healing/regeneration
Hephaestus: attacks make enemies burn (damage over time like dyonisius but ticks much faster) and some form of deployables (maybe a turret instead of a cast?)

#

Couldnt think of anything for hera or hestia (the two remaining major goddesses)

What Gods would you want next in Hades
Hephaestus, God of fire and the forge giving a fire/burning effects
Asclepius, God of medicine giving healing and lifesteal
Apollo, god of music and light/sun giving a new effect called distress where they get stunned from load noises or because of a bright light
Nike, Goddess of victory she can give something like Thanatos’s keepsake where we get stronger the more chambers you clear without taking damage of dropping under 40/30% heath
Nemesis, Goddess of revenge her keepsake is you do more damage to a boss or foe you died to last escape but for her boons I don’t know at the time
Janus, God of beginnings, choices and doorways he can make shortcuts threw the chambers, give special boons at the beginning of your run if you use his keepsake

regal pagoda Jun 23, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

@elder beacon It isn't really needed though. The game tries to force a hammer into your run between Tartarus and Asphodel and always gives you a second one in the earlier chambers of Elysium.

#

(Which can actually end up being troublesome if you don't care about hammers for whatever reason)

dull trench Jun 23, 2019, 8:09 AM

#

hi, I seem to not be able to post in #hades-feedback . I seem to have encountered an inconsistency between the Hades - Wiki and the actual game, and I was looking for clarification.

#

What happens when you get a Pommegranate through erberus? The wiki stated that it would also upgrade the rarity of the boon? but during on of my runs, it didn't upgrade my boon from epic to legendary?

olive jungle Jun 23, 2019, 9:03 AM

#

@dull trench "legendary" isn't a rarity level - legendary boons are special boons that build off of or add to earlier boons you received from the same god. They have prerequisites to acquire, which you can check on the wiki.
There is a rarity level above epic, which is "heroic", but you can only get a boon of this rarity by exchanging an epic-level boon for a boon of the same type given by a different god.
Additionally, Poms from Erebus no longer change the rarity of a boon - this was patched out as part of the High Speed Update on 6/11. The wiki may not have been updated to reflect that change yet.

Worth note you have to unlock what are basically skill points in increasing the difficulty. It's very similar to the previous supergiant games in that regard. You also get some bonuses for higher difficulty runs.

unkempt shore Jun 23, 2019, 7:51 PM

Hey, I'm quite new to the games made by Supergiant. Do they usually add content post final release? Like after Hades reaches final release, is that it? Do they just move on after or will they keep on adding stuff?

flat vapor Jun 23, 2019, 7:51 PM

#

the last three games have had no post-release content (outside of additional soundtrack albums)

#

there's a high chance this game will be the same, but since this game is the first early access game for SGG, who knows!

unkempt shore Jun 23, 2019, 7:55 PM

#

Hope they'll add more. Got the game yesterday and took me under a day to beat it. Read through the roadmap that they plan to add a form of endgame later on which I hope will add more replayability because the increase difficulty skull thingies are cool and all but they're not extending the replay value by that much.

hexed smelt Jun 24, 2019, 1:55 PM

if it's completely locked up you'd probably have to force-quit the game and load it back up again

ancient spear Jun 24, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

ok ! well ... guess I will have to start again a run ( is there an "in between" stage save ? or floor save ? last time it happened I had to start all over the run )

hexed smelt Jun 24, 2019, 2:01 PM

#

it depends on when it crashed and whether the game feels like being nice. worst-case scenario, it'll drop you back at the house courtyard as though you hadn't gone on the run; if you're lucky, it'll go back to the last autosave while on the run

#

the game autosaves when you enter and when you complete each room of a run

ancient spear Jun 24, 2019, 2:02 PM

Hope it will set me before Hydra when it froze, I had a cool crit run, first time I was going that way. I cross fingers !

hexed smelt Jun 24, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

yup, if you reset a run then the seed is the same - it only changes when you die, iirc

unkempt sleet Jun 24, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

Neat, so next time I crash I just need to remember everything I chose up until that point and the run will be the same. In theory.

brisk trail Jun 24, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

I like that they gave Aphrodite and Poseidon big damage ups, but I kinda wish they'd just fix Poseidon.

#

I feel like bursts of damage on knockback and triggering knockback-triggered effects against enemies normally immune (bosses) is enough.

#

Especially with Sea Storm and Second Wave.

topaz lake Jun 24, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

what are those

brisk trail Jun 24, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

Just... Two lightning bolts, when they would normally be triggered by KB and then Second Wave.

#

Poseidon Legendary and Poseidon/Zeus Duo.

#

Second Wave triggers a second knockback about a second after the initial push, and Sea Storm strikes the target with a bolt of lightning upon knockback.

topaz lake Jun 24, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

wait poseidon only has like 5 boons

#

compared to artemis which has like 11

brisk trail Jun 24, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

So you hit something with a Tempest Strike sword attack, and they get hit with lightning once and then again when they get pushed back a second time, plus Rupture damage.

#

He's got enough.

using wrath, do you just not get to often?

topaz lake Jun 26, 2019, 2:05 AM

#

to do what often

flat vapor Jun 26, 2019, 2:05 AM

#

assuming you don't get hit very often in tartarus, you should very rarely activate it in tartarus, not even against the boss

#

by elysium though, you should be reliably getting it at least once per room

#

maybe more

valid badger Jun 26, 2019, 2:06 AM

#

really

flat vapor Jun 26, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

unless you've got one of the boons that increases wrath gain, but they recently nerfed those

#

and ofc getting hit with high heat on will speed up the process a lot

teal dagger Jun 26, 2019, 10:20 AM

#

Not really a feedback, because it's more of an anticipation

#

But I'm afraid the game, especially on 60+ heat, is going to be way too difficult when the fourth biome is implemented

#

It really feels like the Asterius/Theseurs fight is the endpoint of the run, I think there would only be like 1/10th of my heated wins (not even talking about runs) where I could keep going (in terms of HP left or death defiances left) more than 2/3 rooms in a biome that could be harder than Elysium

#

Not even talking about fighting another boss

#

Do you guys have any opinion/experience on how the game will adapt to the fourth biome?

sterile peak Jun 26, 2019, 1:24 PM

#

if it stays at the same difficulty as it is now, I think it'll be alright

#

I don't want the game to be too easy, especially at what should be the hardest point

flint gust Jun 26, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

^^

#

Actually, I'd argue for making Asphodel harder

#

Since at some point its just mechanical and boring

#

You cant stop for a second because of the wave bois

#

And you pretty much cant hit any of the bomb bois since they just jump away immediately

#

So its an exercise of being patient enough to eliminate the enemies in order and not take damage in the meanwhile

lusty mirage Jun 26, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

honestly if the difficulty keeps ramping that sounds awesome, though i think that would need new interesting ways of increasing your power beyond number increases. dont know how they would do that or anything

sterile peak Jun 26, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

exactly
this is a roguelike, roguelikes are not meant to be easy

red coral Jun 26, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

It’s a roguelite aha, the use of the mirror and permanent upgrades make it so. Roguelites have a lower difficulty ceiling in general compared to roguelikes.

lusty mirage Jun 26, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

thats really splitting hairs, i think there should be an incentive to go mirrorless. I made it to the hydra without the mirror and it was one of my most favorite runs

red coral Jun 26, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

||Meg has dialogue regarding mirrorless runs,|| and running with high heat to gain the reward bonus for low darkness encourages the player to go that route as well.

#

On a personal level I just mainly like the difficulty as it is though

hexed smelt Jun 26, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

not to "well, actually" this, but i'm going to "well, actually" this

#

||meg's dialogue about the mirror does not depend on you having low darkness, it's just two conversations that trigger after you've collected a certain amount||

lusty mirage Jun 26, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

i enjoy the double reward rooms for high heat run, can really boost a run

#

anyone know if rooms like chaos or the challenge rooms count towards progression in the floors

Chaos rooms no, but challenge rooms definitely used to

is the bow just terrible in compariosn?

olive jungle Jun 28, 2019, 2:20 AM

#

I quite like the bow, personally; it's a matter of taste i think

brisk trail Jun 28, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

Bow's got lower DPS than most other weapons, but you should be able to attack from afar enough that you can safely kite, which plays into the bow's innate piercing.

#

Personally, I think it and the spear are still underpowered. Vicious Skewer really hurts DPS against single targets if you're a Special build, which is normally one of the spear's crowd-clearing tools.

#

Massive Spin and Quick Spin together with any half-decent Attack Boon will do work, but that's relying on two Hammers, so you're getting that at-earliest in Elysium.

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 4:34 AM

#

I thought I had read somewhere there was a reward or something for heat runs, with the first threshold being 15, and I just got that for the first time. Is it faulty info or what's the change?

olive jungle Jun 28, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

Check the weapon room

#

You should have had a conversation with Skelly about the rewards, I think

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 4:41 AM

#

I did, he was just asking me to hit him 😦

olive jungle Jun 28, 2019, 4:41 AM

#

There may be prerequisites to the rewards showing up - beating the current boss a certain number of times for example?

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 4:42 AM

#

might have to try it a few times. Exagryph + Chain lightning isn't too hard to set up and worked okay

olive jungle Jun 28, 2019, 4:42 AM

#

Not with heat on, just in general

#

How many times have you cleared the game?

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 4:43 AM

#

I think that was my 6th clear

#

I just want Skelly in all his glory 😛

olive jungle Jun 28, 2019, 4:43 AM

#

Might need more than that, though I can't check right now...

#

Wiki is saying 15/16/120

#

*60

olive jungle Jun 28, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

Wait wait, so do you have the rewards in the weapon room, or no?

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 4:45 AM

#

I didn't see any. I'll relaunch tomorrow and check again I suppose

#

but Skelly didn't mention it

olive jungle Jun 28, 2019, 4:45 AM

#

I think there may be a "you must have completed this many runs before you'll have the option to get the rewards at all" prerequisite

#

Is what I meant

#

But I can't go in the game and check right now because I'm at work and my laptop is dead, lol

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 4:45 AM

Gotcha. Could be. I'm still getting the hang of it

digital yacht Jun 28, 2019, 10:19 AM

#

Oh OK that's fairly decent content wise.

#

Have you played it?

brisk trail Jun 28, 2019, 10:20 AM

#

yes..! i could be wrong though, what i’m certain of, is that it’s over halfway through rn

olive jungle Jun 28, 2019, 10:28 AM

#

It's hard to say what percent "done" it is, they have a roadmap for this year that they're obviously making progress on so you can always compare to that I suppose...but if nothing else, there's a good 10-15 hours of content, being modest. There's a lot of replayability, as you might expect, so even once you burn through story stuff it's still fun

onyx sigil Jun 28, 2019, 12:40 PM

#

To be fair if you’re bad at the game like me you can confidently get double that time :D

digital yacht Jun 28, 2019, 12:50 PM

#

Haha cool - yeah I do anticipate having some sort of artificial extension due to being bad. :p

#

I'm finding the current Steam sale a little lacklustre, my entire Wish List other than 3 titles is on Coming Soon and out of those 3, 2 are pre-orders. :/

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 2:21 PM

#

The game's length is really in replaying and likely will still be the same after release. But we've got 3 out of 4 game areas, all weapons but 1, all gods but 1, and all bosses but 1 right now - pending any extras they might add.

#

so its definitely close to finished, and its already pretty polished

fallen violet Jun 28, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

I wonder what kind of weapon the last one is 🤔

hexed smelt Jun 28, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

i want it to be magic-based to contrast the Gun™

red coral Jun 28, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

I want it to be cerb

hexed smelt Jun 28, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

no i will never shut up about wanting the magic weapon

red coral Jun 28, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

Riding ur doggo into battle tho

elfin sparrow Jun 28, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

I almost think cerb could be the last boss

quaint wind Jun 28, 2019, 5:31 PM

#

i feel like that's a little too dark tbh

onyx sigil Jun 28, 2019, 5:33 PM

#

So far all my theories are either stupid or heartbreaking

red coral Jun 28, 2019, 5:42 PM

#

Hoping for ||double fury fight|| for final boss tbh

alpine stratus Jun 28, 2019, 6:31 PM

#

i think a hades boss fight would break my heart most of all tbh

#

but like in a cathartic way i hope

#

but to really round off the like....cyclical stuggle HHHHHHHH

vale kite Jun 28, 2019, 6:32 PM

#

not that id be against it but like

#

the final boss fight being against hades would be kind of anticlimatic like

#

without the plot elements and stuff

#

instead youd be like ooOOO imma fight the bIg BaDdIe

flat vapor Jun 28, 2019, 6:48 PM

#

but then we'd have to deal with hades' sarcastic comments every time he beats us to the ground

rough ivy Jun 28, 2019, 6:48 PM

#

true

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 8:26 PM

#

For what its worth I managed to get my statue after a second 15 heat run win (in a row no less, go me). Think the real issue is the lack of visual cue. I kept clicking around the covered statues until Skelly gave the speech about impressing someone etc. Suppose need to put that in feedback.

acoustic plaza Jun 28, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

I still don't know how to or am able to post in the feedback channel so i'll do it here again. I think the bow is really bad and clumsy. This could be fixed by having you do melee damage at the start of animation to stun like you would with melee

sterile peak Jun 28, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

pins

acoustic plaza Jun 28, 2019, 9:55 PM

also this game would sell like fire if it was on theSwitch

flat vapor Jun 28, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

obligatory: have you tried the dash attack

vital belfry Jun 28, 2019, 10:00 PM

#

Easier to build for one platform before polishing and optimizing for a bunch. Also, dashing makes your bow charge faster. Play with Artemis' dash attack boon on bow. Find the rhythm.

acoustic plaza Jun 28, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

@sterile peak thank you!

tardy grove Jun 28, 2019, 10:28 PM

#

So I'm a little tired of playing ||with the pact of punishment active|| and I'm looking to just mess around

#

What are some of your favorite sets?

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 10:28 PM

#

Huh. Never knew there was a working dash attack for now, yet.

#

As a newbie, what's worked for me (outside of hunting blades, which is difficult to get but shreds)... Rail with Zeus attack+cast, +jolted+double lightning.

#

Flurry fire for hammer.

#

And I haven't tried it but a dionysus attack with aphrodite special and their duo boon on rail could also be pretty nuts. 8 or more stacks of poison...

#

I actually used that with dionysus wrath on my last run, using shield.

#

(with poseidon attack for ridiculously fun and powerful room clearing knock back. Was pretty hilarious in Elysium)

tardy grove Jun 28, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

The most stupid run for me; because I know where you're coming from; was with the rail

#

I had the hammer for the cone shot (5 shots at once) with Dionysus's poison
ANOTHER hammer for 3 specials w/ Artemis's crit
My wrath was Ares AND I had his legendary boon

flat vapor Jun 28, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

heavy slug artemis, become the sniper you always wanted to be

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

Yeah, heavy slug Artemis and triple bomb Artemis are how I got my first hydra kill. And cleared Elysium up to theseus with it

#

Triple bomb Artemis in general is pretty silly.

#

Such fun. But not a guaranteed kill for me yet.

tardy grove Jun 28, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

The thing about A&T is that you need to RUN

#

Most of the run you're playing aggressively, but for them you have to be more defensive, otherwise you're just gonna die

vapid drift Jun 28, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

that's more true for heat runs imo

flat vapor Jun 28, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

^

#

i've definitely out-offensed A&T to death before

vapid drift Jun 28, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

because I usually just rush them down with sword - even if my build is bad they have trouble hurting you if you're spamming dash

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

Yeah am learning that about them, no matter how much offense, I can't pull it off. Ironically my first kill on them was with sword, which I almost never use. Forget the load out.

#

I forgot best part of my Shield with poseidon attack... I also had dashing wallop. Dash attack had people flying in all directions.

flat vapor Jun 28, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

i prefer to out-offense things, which is why artemis is my favorite god

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

... Or right into the wall for massive damage.

flat vapor Jun 28, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

the damage she can build up melts bosses

light thistle Jun 28, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

Artemis has been mine too at first, but now I'm drifting to Zeus

#

True. It's just hard on theseus fight to get hit with his near perma blocj

#

I generally get him down with poison, shatter shot from behind, or blades.

#

But then again I have less tjan 10 kills so far so I'm not a good stat. Lots of close but no cigar with artemis

flat vapor Jun 28, 2019, 10:47 PM

who thinks a Daedalus labyrinth would be cool addition kind of like chaos gate, but symbol could be hammer can be you get special weapon after defeating the boss . The boss could be Daedalus using clunky machine or something that u slowly have to destroy pieces off of and as u take pieces off he get faster but loses attacks as it goes on and instead of killing he help on next runs like secret random passage way thro like skip 1 or 2 rooms but room u come back to is slightly beefed up cause hades angry boi or am i just a fan boi over Daedalus ?

Random Question: are Poms more effective on Common Boons vs Rares/Epics?

#

Was doing a low-darkness run for the first time since Murder/Death/Kill and my Poms seemed NUTS.

#

Whereas usually they're... fine.

#

But I didn't have my increased chance of Rares/Epics...because... low Darkness.

void nova Jul 2, 2019, 7:23 PM

i'm having probably my best run so far, if i actually manage to beat theseus and the minotaur this time will that go away or will i be able to somehow continue on this run when the next biome is released?

radiant tangle Jul 2, 2019, 7:29 PM

If you get an end screen, you won't keep your current build into the next biome update. If you hold yourself from finishing, I honestly have no idea what will happen

It looks slower, but hold down a movement key (or stick) and I'm pretty sure you can move at the same time. I could be wrong, but I think it's just visual.

does Triple Shot split your total damage across the three shots?

also in Sniper Shot, how far is “distant”?

I'm not sure how distant is distant but I would wager about a spear length

l thinking over "Boon Replacements". They often not worth it, even Heroic. What if make they additional 4th option to choose (only them)? Make replace reduces strength grow, so... if player really want boon of specific god - then sacrifices +1 boon to collection in run. Heroic usually = Rare+3 or Epic+2... meh.

KBM and controller each have their own benefits so its kind of personal preference, but a controller is technically recommended

There are very high level players on each control scheme

I prefer mkb because I'm a staunch advocate of the Adamant Rail and I refuse to be anything but monogamous :kappa:

Poseidon can override your God keepsake if he's offering you wrath for the first time. Hermes doesn't count as the 'next god you'll see', and has his own identity (just like a hammer). You can even find shops with both Hermes and another God Boon.

Fun sword builds?

#

World Splinter is awesome!!!

#

Why would it be "technically" better to use a controller? Why is that the recommended route?? 🤔

radiant tangle Jul 8, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

Easier on the wrists, I think

hexed smelt Jul 8, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

controller gives you a wider range of movement, also

#

kbm limits you to WASD

radiant tangle Jul 8, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

And I'm glad you like World Splitter :D

poseidon special sword build

I prefer KBM because I really prefer aiming with a mouse (though Greg "Aim At Their Feet" Kasavin has... ideas), and I've never been in a situation where losing the other 352 degrees of motion hurt me that much. Indeed, being able to freely aim while still maintaining attacking posture (aiming at the Brimstone in the middle of a bunch of Thugs and Louts in Erebus) has always been helpful.

hexed smelt Jul 8, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

honestly i just find it way more comfortable to use a controller for these kinds of games

#

i've used a controller for every other sgg game, so

brisk trail Jul 8, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

That's what it needs to boil down to.

#

"Is it functional, and is it comfortable?"

#

I've played everything on PC, though I'm tempted to go back to Pyre and trying it on a controller. That was the only one where I had doubts about KBM.

#

Hey, Onyx, speaking of.
