#

orrrr it could be a bug.

crisp raptor
#

I'm pretty sure it's a glitch I've been playing this game a ton and I know that I didn't get hit by anything that should have killed me, or even remotely did that much damage.

umbral flame
#

if you're recently in hell mode, they remove the automatic invuln you get from taking large amounts of damage in short times, so that can cause oneshots that you wouldnt normally see

#

outside of that, if you recorded it you could look back at it

#

and next time, there's an in-game bug reporter, just press F10

crisp raptor
#

I wasn't in hell mode I just had heat on, and I sadly wasn't recording it but I was streaming it on discord and the three people that saw it had no idea what happened (They all play)

void nova
#

damn is the save file instantly obliterated when you accidentally hit "give up" mid room?

oak knot
#

how can you accidentally hit give up 2 times in a row

void nova
#

lol dude this isn't even the first time i've managed to do this

#

i'm talented at pushing the wrong buttons apparently lol

#

this time i was paused and just trying to continue :rip:

oak knot
#

ouch how far did you get

#

beside it's still the same seed so you can have that exact run again

void nova
#

theseus was almost dead 😭

#

last time though i was literally about to walk into the final boss fight

#

oh wait no

#

that's when the game crashed lol

#

last time was in styx tho

#

and the seed seems to be affected in ways i don't understand. one time i got ares room 2 and got +198% damage after enemy slain, and if i chucked my blitz disk then every time it struck it would strike for that 298% damage, so i was like oh i'm gonna go back out and crank up the aspect level a bit to make this better, so i give up go back and i didn't even get Ares 2nd room somehow lol.

umbral flame
#

had the game crash on me during the theseus fight, when I was almost guaranteed to win. apparently it didnt save after the boss fights, cause it took me all the way back to the start

void nova
#

yep that's what just happened to me

oak knot
#

yeah some rare occasions the seed are different after i give up too

glossy quest
#

Sad

#

I used to have thoes crashes as well but mine was at the very last fight

#

Tho to be fair its my comps fault and not the games

umbral flame
#

pretty sure my crash was the games fault

#

theseus popped off his god calling power right as I hit him with a ton of lightning bolts from a zeus duo boon poseidon special on the bow, and the game was like "nope"

stiff summit
#

Do the devs have a date/month where they plan to complete Hades? So excited for the progression of the story

green lotus
#

as far as we know it's mid to late 2020

#

nothing set in stone though

green lotus
#

Does anyone have a picture of Artemis's old portrait?

latent imp
#

So i posted my second feedback of Hades in the feedback section (only 2 hours in mind you!) and i got 0 upvotes and 31 downvotes, maybe because i honestyl told about just beeing frustrated by the "Trials of the Gods" section the first time i got there and i quit the game instead of just letting my self die.. so yeah 31 downvotes... there has to be an achievement for that somwhere.. right..right?

crisp raptor
#

Nah man the first achievement is at 69 downvotes

latent imp
#

Challenge accepted!

#

I gave myself an upvote so that it doenst look so sad...

potent sonnet
#

Which olympian gods are currently missing for the full 12? I can only think of Hestia, Demeter and Hephaestus. Anyone else?

latent imp
#

Demeter is a greek god interesting..

potent sonnet
#

Yeah, isn't she a greek god?

#

oh, and Hera is missing

candid pine
tardy apex
#

will Nyx's in-game model ever be updated to resemble the art? (or vice versa)

modern garnet
#

nyx a classist :(

hexed smelt
#

it says in #hades-faq that the hooded portraits are placeholders

tardy apex
#

ah ok

#

thought it had to do with lore

lost halo
#

is the content update in 11 days or so a content update or the full release? :O

candid pine
#

That timer counts toward the next update.

hexed smelt
#

major update

candid pine
#

Which you can check in the patch notes

lost halo
#

oh my

#

even more content

candid pine
#

New olympian, buddy.

lost halo
#

I want the whole mythology

#

after the olymp we could explore the chaos realm

#

🤤

wintry lotus
#

can anyone tell me

#

what other content is planned? and when the game will come out of EA?

hexed smelt
#

for the first one, check the roadmap ingame

#

for the second one, some time in 2020 but there's no specific date

lost halo
#

keep it in early access forever and drop more and more content

#

👀

#

like warframe beta

wintry lotus
#

oh ok

#

so we don't know if there is a whole new act after defeating Hades?

#

it looks like that should be the case, but its ambiguous

lost halo
#

Will the cosmetics for the kitchen have any effect?

#

so far it seems to be useless :(

candid pine
#

Press B and hover over the plume while equipped

#

It only works until you unequip it

sinful slate
#

what does an infernal gate do?

brisk trail
#

Takes you to a special challenge room that, if you can beat without being hit, gives you an upgraded room drop.

sinful slate
#

damn

lavish prism
#

Never seen an infernal gate...

You guys know if Hades will wait for v1.0 to add steam achievements or...?

fleet monolith
#

there are already ingame achievements

#

whyyyyyy do people care so much about achievements

potent sonnet
#

does anybody know, if you get higher rarity boons the further you progress in a run?

vocal thorn
#

steam achievements would give an idea of what percentage did certain things

#

like, if we had steam acheivements, and there were an achivement for 32 heat, we could see what percentage of the players reached it

sinful slate
#

so do you just never go against meg after first run through? I really don't like murder lady

vale pawn
#

You'll get to go against meg more don't worry

sinful slate
#

also this is kinda epic

#

are pics not allowed in this channel

#

I need to flex my 69% increase in attack from poseidon

lavish prism
#

@fleet monolith It's a fun way to remember what you did in the game when you come back to it. "Oh right, that happened, that's so cool !". And a great starting point in a conversation between 2 people about the same game. And a great indicator of how much of the game you've been through / you've mastered. (I always check my buddies' achievement before talking about a game so as to be sure I don't spoil them)

brisk trail
#

You need to get an image link, @sinful slate

lavish prism
#

It's a good indicator of how far you are from completing the game from the developers' point of vue as well.
And yes, there's already an in game achievement list, but I was wondering specifically on steam. Because hoarding achievement is one of my favourite stff

sinful slate
#

like that

#

nope

#

wait yes

steady yacht
#

Where i can send a bug screenshot?

fleet monolith
#

you can press F10 ingame

vocal thorn
#

F10 while in game

fleet monolith
#

and paste the link there

#

but bugs are best put ingame

steady yacht
#

ty

vocal thorn
#

It's best in game, because there's a screenshot, and possibly debug logs being sent if you do F10

steady yacht
#

if i describe it not on english, would it be bad?

vocal thorn
#

I'm honestly not sure what their translation abilities are like for debugging

#

The language localization team might be completely separate and/or there might coincidentally be bilingual people on the coding teams that share the language you are planning on using

steady yacht
#

okay, i'll try on english

vocal thorn
#

or they might send non-English bug reports to the language localization team to translate

olive jungle
#

@steady yacht Bug reports that aren't in English are fine - we get several like that! We just run them through google translate. The screenshot usually helps make it clear what's going on too.

#

I don't think I've ever come across a bug report I couldn't understand at all just because it wasn't in English, haha

steady yacht
#

Good, but i already wrote it on english and submitted)

#

Hope that will help

olive jungle
#

Yeah, just for future reference! And for anybody else who's wondering haha

#

Thanks for your report!

steady yacht
#

❤️

mellow cloak
#

Is it confirmed that you cannot take damage while dashing?

#

I was wondering how i died in a run as i was in mid dash, So i took the recording and looked at it frame by frame, I took damage with 8 frames of dash left. During the death camera it actually showed my character still moving a inch further before the camera zoomed in on me .

static wadi
#

Good evening people

#

@elfin kite what do you think about item reroll button?

light burrow
#

Is there any purpose to Darkness beyond 2500 in Hell mode?

static wadi
#

can u change pact points?

brisk trail
#

Nope.

#

To both questions.

static wadi
#

well idc much i'm not masochistic for hell mode)

light burrow
#

Alright. hopefully they add something for it, because I haven't been playing all too long and I'm already way past the cap

vocal thorn
#

I don't think anyone actually confirmed the iFrames on the dash, and games are sort of split on this. For example, fighting games and Dark souls tend to purposely add starting and ending lag to moves for the sake of balance... but acidotically I think Gungeon's roll was iFramed the entire roll.

#

Acidotically (again), I do think the dash in this game doesn't iFrame the whole time, with the reasoning that I'm assuming Athena's dash only deflects during a dash, but it seems to deflect way more frames than I'd expect it to

light burrow
#

It's definitely not invincible for the whole dash, it seems to be closer to the beginning in my experience, and I've also noticed Athena's dash lasts longer then the usual I frames so that probably is the whole dash

vocal thorn
#

And I think the main issue with darkness on hell mode is that there isn't a permanent trade available for it.

#

like, if I could consistently trade my extra darkness for keys (or whatever), that would solve everything

light burrow
#

Yeah I'd agree with that, I'll probably submit a feedback for it

#

It's a little frustrating to constantly be getting an unusable currency

vocal thorn
#

Unrelated, I'm still not super sure why 3 of of 4 companions are useless on the final boss fight.

static wadi
#

@vocal thorn cus lore?

vocal thorn
#

yes; that's the official reason, but I mean like, if want extra help on the final boss, there's only 1 companion I can use

#

and, for example, I would like to use Meg, but her being unavailable on 2 of the boss fights is like meh

static wadi
#

you have the point

vocal thorn
#

and trying to use companion mort on the triple fury fight would be awkward since the furies bounce around the screen so much

#

the actual point is I'm not sure why I would ever use a different companion than the boulder, since it's easy to actual damage with it, I can use it on all fights, and it gives more health/money

opaque nexus
#

Rib

#

On high heats when you can’t heal from the food

vocal thorn
#

Yeah, he sort of dies super quickly. I tried summoning him when the final boss summons monsters, and he dies well before I can kill the summoned monsters

opaque nexus
#

Idk people say he’s good

vocal thorn
#

Maybe he's good on 0 heat

static wadi
#

who?

#

Tomatos summ?

opaque nexus
#

Companion rib

static wadi
#

ah Skelly

opaque nexus
#

Isn’t meg used in speedruns

vocal thorn
#

I'm not sure. I think most the speedruns are seeded, so I haven't been paying attention to them

#

(I usually only pay attention to roguelite speedruns, when the games actually have different categories for seeded/unseeded runs)

opaque nexus
#

The update in 10 days is just gonna be the new Olympian right

static wadi
#

not only

#

but he/she is the main guest

opaque nexus
#

And the update after that will be new weapon and 4th aspects

#

I think

static wadi
#

well

remote lily
#

Im so hyped for 6th weapon

vocal thorn
#

I think meg is currently used on speedruns because of the hydra skip

#

Not sure if it would change if the skip is ever patched

opaque nexus
#

But the 4th aspects are probably gonna take like 20 titanBlood to max

#

Ugh

remote lily
#

but you will be able to get blood over 20 heat too

#

i think

static wadi
#

@opaque nexus Greg29.12.2019
I shouldn't have said more than the Development Roadmap here, which is that we will have a brand-new weapon "later". There's always a chance our longer-term plans change, and this type of 'should' statement, while not a promise, ends up sounding like a promise. Sorry about that. I'll clarify on Twitter.

opaque nexus
#

I probably won’t even be there when the update drops

#

Ob

#

Oh

#

I wonder if chaos shield will get nerfed this coming patch

#

The thing I’m excited for most is the QoL changes actually

static wadi
#

what is qol?

opaque nexus
#

Quality of life

static wadi
#

and what is this?

opaque nexus
#

Changes that just make things more convenient

static wadi
#

still doesnt get it

remote lily
#

like in diablo3 you was able to click 20x to get 20 paragons to level up an skill

#

and they add QOL that with shift you can level up 10 with one click

static wadi
#

ah that thing

opaque nexus
#

Contractor rework please

static wadi
#

i do not care much about that

remote lily
#

little but its great change

#

thats just example

static wadi
#

Yea i have some wishes

remote lily
#

for Hades it can be anything like

#

that picking up weapon pick the latest aspect

#

without clicking to choose it again

vocal thorn
#

QOL would be like fixing the hydra heads, so they can't just awkwardly hover over the deep lava for 10 seconds at a time, because even though the fight is doable, it's still sort of terrible to have sword users just stand there waiting for the head to move

remote lily
#

its rather balance

#

change

odd bramble
#

That wouldn't be just QoL though because it makes Tight Deadline easier

remote lily
#

cuz its doesnt work as it should

umbral flame
#

speed runs are all seeded off of the ares/athena boon seed yeah

odd bramble
#

It would make the fight feel better but anything that has a notable gameplay effect isn't just QoL

static wadi
#

or Supp fire actually will hit target instead of spinning around?)

remote lily
#

its bug

#

so also its not QoL if they fix

vocal thorn
#

but it's sort of awkward that the bow/rail get to not be affected by it at all

static wadi
#

i want testing room((((

vocal thorn
#

well, at least the chiron bow. The other bows still might want to shotgun the special on the hydra heads

remote lily
#

Well I think they already have tons of content locked for Early access done. As they removed the flip ( in Hades House Zag was doing an flip when we clicked attack or so.) . Now when we click attack multiple times Hades says ' not there' ' dont try' and when we click on the doors at the left he says ' get out of there' 'not now'

#

btw I miss the flip

#

||it was like the Red singing||

#

||or doing the trick with transistor sword||

knotty depot
#

I have a question about weapon upgrades.
How many upgrade levels are there and how much blood do I need to fully upgrade Zags aspect in 1 weapon?

static wadi
#

5

#

all aspects

#

all 1st aspects need 1 blood per lvl

#

2nd aspect need 1 2 3 4 5 - 15

#

3rd need 2 2 3 4 5 - 16

#

so u need 5

knotty depot
#

Neat, thanks 🙂

#

And what exactly game means in "clear quickly an encounter" in Lambent Plume?

#

1 sec per enemy or something? Is there any know formula? Maybe timer option somewhere?

static wadi
#

@knotty depot u have timer

#

under trinket

vocal thorn
#

I think the left side of the screen shows the timer

vagrant flint
#

Is there a version of the 'Last Words' track with bells in it?

#

The official SG channel only has the one without them.

raven scroll
#

Hey guys! dusa

Been playing the game for a while and have now started a fresh-new run on hell mode. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the darkness limit on the mirror. Does it ever go above 2500? And if so, when do these upgrades to the darkness cap happen?

Cheers. shadesmile

static wadi
#

@raven scroll u play hell mode?

raven scroll
#

yes

static wadi
#

so there is no way

raven scroll
#

hope they adjust this cap in the latest update, or have other things to spend the darkness on.

static wadi
#

u permanetly have Budget think from pact IIRC

vocal thorn
#

I still don't understand how to reliably handle the minotaur's charge attack if he's on increased speed. There have been so many times where I've dodged behind a pillar, and he just runs around it.

static wadi
#

u must be closer to him

#

to prevent his change os course

vocal thorn
#

that doesn't always work when he's on the advanced mode

#

because the chariot sometimes blocks off parts of the screen, and because the minotaur's slam attacks have such a giant radius that I have to be far away from him

static wadi
#

i didnt play ex t&m

elfin kite
#

I hate Theseus. Still the hardest boss for me

#

Even pumped up Hydra with increased lava damage is not that bad

stiff summit
#

It's really frustrating to play aganinst Theseus shield

static wadi
#

no it's not

#

he throwes spear

#

he calls it back

#

and goes away

#

attack him this moment

stiff summit
#

I mean ive cleared the game but i still find it frustrating lol

covert plover
#

Hydra's still more frustrating than Theseus. And most of what I do with him is kinda brute force in some hits, even if he swings his shield around in an immediate AoE attack.

#

Hydra still feels more tasking to me.

#

Theseus' boastings help me want to kill him first.

coarse junco
#

For baiting Asterius dashes. You can just bait him into the wall of the arena rather than the pillar.

static wadi
#

it's harder to make

patent umbra
#

Its tricky to pull off but you can sidestep the charge just a little and stand still and minotaur will get stuck charging in a circle around you

static wadi
#

funny

sinful slate
#

is there some bug with poseidon and giving you the same boons over and over?

#

hes been giving me tidal dash, bounty of the sea and one other every single time i've seen him

#

and i already have tidal dash

vocal thorn
#

did you sell tidal dash, or you literally still had it equipped?

echo quail
#

What do i use titan blood for and how

static wadi
#

@echo quail u need it to upgrade ur weapon

#

after u unlock all weapon

#

and do 1 run

#

u will find out

echo quail
#

Ok

#

Ty

static wadi
#

and dont waste it

#

untill u find your weapon and your aspect@echo quail

echo quail
#

Dk what that means but im i will after progressing

static wadi
#

@echo quail every weapon

#

or mb i shouldnt make spoilers?

echo quail
#

Not a spoiler dw

vocal thorn
#

The issue is some weapons are garbage at level 1, so people aren't necessarily going to know what they want their main weapon to be right after unlocking it

static wadi
#

@vocal thorn he doesnt know what aspects are yet

vocal thorn
#

being more pedantic, some aspects of weapons (even though you totes know what I meant) are garbage at level 1

elfin kite
#

@vocal thorn I agree. I feel like aspects should have their final form once you unlock them and provide an increasing bonus to cast/special/attack/whatever on upgrade

vocal thorn
#

When I first tried hestia at level 1, I was like, this is hot garbage tier

static wadi
#

@echo quail every weapon has some variations which have some specific effect which may help to improve ur style

#

Hera is good lvl 1

#

Chiron max lvl required

#

and so on

vocal thorn
#

chiron level 1 was an actual dps downgrade from the default bow, because I couldn't shotgun the special anymore

elfin kite
#

hera is awesome. easiest high-heat runs unless you have a time limit

echo quail
#

I see cool

static wadi
#

@elfin kite u dont want tight deadline with bow

elfin kite
#

@static wadi yes, it is for Chaos Shield only, I think

static wadi
#

@elfin kite sword and rail may be fas too

elfin kite
#

rail runs are too dependent on hammer upgrades

static wadi
#

yes it's true

elfin kite
#

anyone tried Hell Mode yet? I am still a bit scared to try it out

calm hawk
#

I have

elfin kite
#

how do you like it?

calm hawk
#

It's good, I got 2 issues with it though

static wadi
#

i'm not masochistic for this stuff thx

calm hawk
#

You basically start with 5 heat, and your weapons are locked unless you keep increasing heat for them after each successful run

elfin kite
#

looks like you can max out Budget Cuts right away for free heat

vocal thorn
#

Hell mode is fine, I've been using since after the first few days I played the game

calm hawk
#

Two problems with it personally

#

I don't like that you start with a maximum darkness possible to put in the mirror, 20 runs in and I already reached it

#

Makes darkness feel completely useless

elfin kite
#

ah, so you have max darkness. this makes things way easier

calm hawk
#

It does, I don't like it

vocal thorn
#

I like it specifically because it caps darkness early. The casual people can grind darkness for months on the normal mode if they want

calm hawk
#

@vocal thorn I like the idea behind it, but late game players should be able to unlock it

#

maybe after a certain amount of heat

#

the second problem is that some uh, traps are ridiculous on hell mode, due to the trap dmg increase

vocal thorn
#

The issue is if it's not a separate mode, the normal mode people basically get free heats

elfin kite
#

I still feel like Budget Cuts and No Choice are the worstconditions as they just remove possibilities instead of making a run harder

vocal thorn
#

because hell mode gets rid of the heat rewards before 5

calm hawk
#

that part is fine

#

I like it

#

Makes the game challenging from the get go

#

It's more that I can't edit the minimum, at the least the budget cuts part

static wadi
elfin kite
#

i think i will get into Hell Mode today

vocal thorn
#

You can get all the important mirror things with 2,500 darkness

calm hawk
#

although the exclusive removal of the massive damage shield kind of throws some gears into some runs

elfin kite
#

@static wadi russian locale?

static wadi
#

y

calm hawk
#

@vocal thorn eh, you can get the basics with 2500

static wadi
#

it curse me for using Q

calm hawk
#

1500 is lost just from death defiances

elfin kite
#

get used to it 🙂

static wadi
#

and will buff my Q

remote lily
#

with 2500 you get all basic things, without the % to rarity and the last one.

static wadi
#

chiron aspect

remote lily
#

so pooms are getting more important

elfin kite
#

i like how they use latin "Y" in russian locale

static wadi
calm hawk
#

get used to it? I played hell mode for 10 hours now

static wadi
#

yes i already wrote this in localiztion

#

looks like they use google translate or something

calm hawk
#

ugh language barriers

static wadi
#

or how even possible to have У instead of Y

elfin kite
#

they should use crowdsourcing for translation, as the game has tons of text

calm hawk
#

Anyway, I played hell mode for about 10 hours now, its not a matter of getting used to it

#

it just feels limiting

#

and all that darkness piling up for no reason

elfin kite
#

wait for hell+ mode

calm hawk
#

so a mode that's just unfun?

#

Difficulty is a tight rope to walk, too much and it's just frustrating

elfin kite
#

some of pact conditions are not fun as well. I hope they will find a proper solution

calm hawk
#

The traps can be fixed by either adding a maximum damage to traps, or increasing their base and lowering the dmg increase in the heat

coarse junco
#

Yeah. The fact that Hell mode with some modifiers permanently makes it not worth it since you can technically turn ‘hell mode’ on yourself

calm hawk
#

I wouldn't say that

#

For those that like a challenge hell mode satisfies that itch

#

the mode does enforce you to get better, win a run, you better increase the heat on that weapon or you can't use it

elfin kite
#

btw, last run I somehow managed to get 3 chaos curses at the same time. i think it deserves to be an achievement

calm hawk
#

5

#

sorry 4

#

If you keep buying the chaos gate item, you can easily reach 3 and a bit higher

elfin kite
#

omg, there is still a room for improvement for me

#

i got - max health, + enemy damage, + traps damage. so they synergized really well against me

calm hawk
#

vlad, trust me

#

don't use the trap one

#

it will make some fights uh, end quickly

elfin kite
#

yes, I already drowned in lava a couple of times

#

I still wonder how lava is a trap

calm hawk
#

environmental damage

elfin kite
#

I understand. at the same time, I end up tanking Hydra, as its bites are just scratches compared to melting in lava after dashing away

vast junco
#

definitely agree that traps and/or heightened security need to be tweaked for the latter to, uh

#

not annihilate zag instantly

elfin kite
#

adding +1 second delay to lava damage would help

#

not related to lava but probably it would be cool to add HP to traps so you could destroy them. Every time I deflect a giant ballista arrow, I feel like it was useless

echo quail
#

Hydra fight is aids

static wadi
#

most easy boss imo

#

if it's not extreme

opaque nexus
#

@cloud grove spear has great hammer upgrades what u on about

#

explosive launcher and vicious skewer are like top tier

#

@golden knoll about the joint pain thing, an option to hold down the button to attack would be a much better than just giving people hammer upgrades

golden knoll
#

Agreed! I kinda regret how I worded the feedback thing but didnt wanna spam with extra thoughts on it

#

In the grand scheme of things the ideal situation would be a control option to change those jabs to a Hold, and remap the Spear Spin Attack etc. to a whole other button

opaque nexus
#

that would be real nice with world splitter and I don't even have any hand pains

low phoenix
#

guys, what would you said is Zagreus's most iconic

A - Weapon (+Aspect)
B - Build
C - Keepsake (if it were visually in the avatar when you play)

alpine stratus
#

iconic is prob the zagspect sword...its in all the art

opaque nexus
#

shame it sucks

timber flume
#

Zag's Spear would be first choice for me, and then the gun

hallow grove
#

Is there a reason I can't post in the Feedback channel? :V

#

Hi everyone! As i understand its impossible to push bosses and Poseidon's mechanics usually give you only pushing buffs how even does this push build possible? If you can share some of your Poseidon builds i'd would be happy, really want to try some)

ocean kayak
#

Poseidon's knock-away buffs are hella useful for keeping ferocious enemies like chariots off of you

#

You should try to get his Rupture skill, if you can. It makes enemies take damage every time they move. Kinda like poison, except instead of every half second, it's every fifth of a second, so the damage stacks quickly.

#

Poseidon's Call/Aid is also far and away the most powerful, but since you need to actually aim it and run straight into target enemies with it, I usually pass it up. much easier to work with is Zeus' area-of-effect stuff.

#

Zeus and Poseidon also have call-affects that make your gauge fill faster each time you take damage, but Poseidon's is much better. If you're working with a troublesome call/aid that works better with a full gauge (like Aphrodite's), pick this up if you can.

steady ore
#

So Poseidon is actually more about Call/Aid effects ?

#

Any weapon preferences for Poseidon ?

#

Hey guys, I know this might be a dumb question but is the game still up for early access?

covert plover
#

It is.

#

Hey guys ! Is there a specific channel or place to report bugs ? Thanks !

flat vapor
#

the bug reporter is in game, using f10

main gorge
#

Awesome, appreciate it !

covert plover
#

Honestly, I still forget there's an in-game bug reporter.

sullen tree
#

Ohhh, Is there any way I can get a code? I'm getting my PC in a couple days and I'd love to play it! :D

By purchasing the game on the epic game store or steam

@steady ore Posiedon is definitely about the knock away modifiers. The dps output from his modifiers for wall slamming is crazy, even without his legendary boon. I personally prefer it on my cast. You can can clear the 4th biome so fast with no risk, even an elite matchup. You can one shot stuff with your dash, it's pretty broken, considering it still debuffs final boss with rupture even if he's not knocked away, and is just a high %modifier in general.

brisk trail
#

Poseidon actually has second-lowest numbers for Attack and Special.

vocal thorn
#

I still like Posiedon because his trash boons are better than most other gods' trash boons. At least all the knockback junk is useful against trash. Some gods have trash boons that are only good in combos I never seem to get

#

"trash boons" = not usually useful

tribal briar
#

That knockback junk everonyes knocking on, can obliterate elites, I don't know why people be hating on it haha

shadow trellis
#

I was hoping posiedon's knock back would stack on Hera's aspect bow like it used to do on the shield with double hit so you could yeet some enemies across the room but alas it does not. The knock back is either op or weak.

tribal briar
#

@shadow trellis Casting normally has the yeet your looking for. Hera's Aspect creates one instance of yeet, but by casting normally, you get 3x the yeet, for the low low price of just not using Hera's aspect. The yeet modifier, second yeet, or pool of yeet, will ensure those that are yeeted, will need yeeting, no more. Not a bad deal for only needing 3 boons.

summer loom
#

The nice thing about poseidon, is while despite having lower % increase on his attack/special, unlike zues, dion, and ares, at least his scales with other boosts

jolly haven
#

3 is kind of a whole lot in higher heats when you can beat the game with just hestia and artemis attack...

tribal briar
#

You can win with any boons if you're willing to try hard enough, avoiding damage is the easy part for me, so I'm always in favor of getting highest dps possible, and Poseidon can really dish it out. It's why I don't like ares/dionysus, cause it's low dps unless very specific boons come out from other olympians. If you get an early posiedon, you'll see more posiedon, vs chancing on an olympian you may never see in your run.

summer loom
#

if you turn the heat up, even mid way for many of the boons, they can't stand up to several tasks

tribal briar
#

What's midway, cause you can do like 140 heat or something stupid (jk its 45 now

summer loom
#

heat goes up to 46, and tight deadline damage restricts the use of low damage boons, especially once other pacts are thrown in

#

midway really isn't the way to word it, sorry

#

but tight deadline and anything that delays the run further will greatly restrict what's possible

tribal briar
#

I couldn't imagine doing 45 heat with the bow, haha.

summer loom
#

now that I'm satisfied with what I've done with the sword shield and rail on the current patch, I've been trying to get back into the swing of things with the bow. it's been a little rough, lol

tribal briar
#

well there's your first problem, you can't swing with the bow

summer loom
#

I just need to sharpen it's edges enough!

floral sonnet
#

i'm pretty sure hera bow is weighty enough to smack some people around

coarse junco
#

Do you think the devs put any unique messages or dialogue in the game if you beat the game on the very first tutorial escape? I'd imagine that if you were sufficiently skilled it would be possible but since the game story appears to break chronologically if you beat it in less than 4 attempts, I'd imagine not.

summer loom
#

I'm not sure, after I finished on 32 heat, zag claimed it was a win in his book, lol

#

I found it pretty funny

#

he makes the statement after respawning from finishing the run

livid cargo
#

@coarse junco i think they might do that for full launch

coarse junco
#

I can't imagine the amount of skill and luck it would take for someone to go from start to end without dying a single time.

summer loom
#

I think the hardest part would be not getting bored, as it would take a bit of time and patience

#

you'd have no pact mods going against you

#

pray to hermes for more dash though

proud orbit
#

One dash

dapper dagger
#

how do you spawn orpheus? i feel like my game just skipped it and i dont have him. i check the renovations frequently, i've beaten hades several times... i'm on hell mode if that matters

clear marsh
#

Renovations

dapper dagger
#

i have 10 gold pots, the gem costs on my current renovations is 120/300/130

#

i have a diamond

coarse junco
#

One dash, no DDs, limited god selection, no calls, no keepsakes.

#

And no renovation bonuses. That's what it means to clear on the first attempt

clear marsh
#

Just keep buying them until you eventually see it. It is somewhat random

humble finch
#

yeah the renovation stuff is random

dapper dagger
#

its been a while, ive beaten heat 8 and have aspects on all my weapons

#

i guess i just didnt roll him yet?

#

hope so

humble finch
#

that's just a really bad good luck

dapper dagger
#

how is it good? ive got gifts to give, man, relics to have

humble finch

uh

#

his item just gives you more damage to distant foes

#

didn't know that :p

||It's a good one if you like bows or hestia rails||

cloud grove
#

@opaque nexus Quick Spin, Massive Spin and Exploding Launcher are the only good hammer options. Everything else is useless at best and terrible at worst.

#

And Explosive Launcher is one of the good ones just on account of making the terrible special actually usable.

brisk trail
#

That's an exaggeration. They're definitely the easiest Hammers to use, but the others are all good if you've got the right set-up.

cloud grove
#

And if you don't, you lose.

brisk trail
#

I've lost with Quick Spin and Exploding Launchers because I got the wrong build.

cloud grove
#

And someone on the reddit won a game using only one god boon.

#

He did not do that using the spear.

brisk trail
#

I didn't say the spear wasn't the weakest weapon, just that "useless at best and terrible at worst" doesn't accurately describe it.

cloud grove
#

So if not terrible, how would you describe that Flurry Jab effectively turns off Hades' Aspect?

lament tangle
#

I like spear

brisk trail
#

Flurry Jab doesn't work well with any of the spear's Aspects, but it itself is still a strong option.

lament tangle
#

Just pretend that speen doesn't exist

brisk trail
#

Lots of ways to make the damage very good.

#

question

cloud grove
#

I can't ignore the spear if the spear has bountys to claim.

gleaming crane
#

If I am to believe this Discord and the Steam discussions:

brisk trail
#

I'm up to 17 Heat on it.

gleaming crane
#

Spear is garbage.

#

Bow is garbage.

#

Sword is garbage.

lament tangle
#

Does flurry do more than just save you from carpal tunnel

gleaming crane
#

Rail is garbage.

#

Shield is garbage.

#

Please add good weapons, SGG, we only have bad ones.

cloud grove
#

@lament tangle It does take away your Charge Swing Attack.

#

Correct me if I am wrong but I think the spear is the only weapon with a hammer boon that actively takes something away from you.

lament tangle
#

good riddance

brisk trail
#

Charged Shot doesn't let you Bull Rush.

unkempt stratus
#

yea

brisk trail
#

Flurry Shot takes away Power Shot.

cloud grove
#

Those are just replacements.

#

You lose Bullrush but earn a shot instead.

#

You don't get a differnt means to attack back for the same command input with Flurry Jab.

lament tangle
#

replace special with a dragoon jump

cloud grove
#

Now that I would subscribe to!

lament tangle
#

and come down a whole 10 seconds later

cloud grove
#

Yeah, and then win with Tight Deadline maxed out! 😄

do i have to be stingy with my titans blood

#

or can i just get new aspects will nilly

I'm almost at 20 Heat with every weapon and I've got almost 60 Titan Blood leftover.

#

But I've also traded a lot.

round sandal
#

hey I'm new here, is there a place to report bugs? I have a screenshot but I lost the chance to do the in game bug report

mighty jolt

use f10 in game to report the bug

is that ok to do even if the bug report's screenshot doesn't apply?

Yup.

Poseidon and Hermes feel like traps

#

at least Poseidon is good for farming what you need early game

onyx wave
#

hermes has some amazing boons

#

his cast machine gun is super nice

#

and so is his dash speed

#

his legendary is also pretty good (the cast returns to you)

#

as for posei

#

he can be super fun if pair with someone like zeus

brisk trail
#

Hermes is a nice supplement to whatever build you are going for, really

stiff pulsar
#

knockback just isnt reliable enough and doesnt help with you bosses at all

brisk trail
#

Poseidon is like polarizing

#

His boons for room clears are like stupid, but his damage against bosses tho, ouch

#

Oh, and yeah some weapons don't like the knockback too much

#

but for those that do, oh boi

#

You kinda need to pair poseidon with a boss-killing god to get anywhere tho lol

round sandal
#

poseidon's dash + rupture + zeus lightning duo + jolted deals some crazy damage

brisk trail
#

The wall splats alone can destroy rooms in a short time

#

but yeah

#

that's about what it does

onyx wave

Is there any consistent way to farm jewels? (gemstones)

I'm tryin to get merchant stuff

also Heat gauge is super fun but i wish I could stack the rewards instead of 1 by 1

i think the heat thing is a bit tedious too

stiff blaze
#

Yeah, the game doesn't get harder/different fast enough, so it feels like a bit of a grind

stray zinc
#

so

#

if you dont take a boon

#

do you always get a Hammer first?

empty ferry
#

no

stray zinc
#

ah weird

#

i keep seeing streamers get hammer right as they leave repeatedly

steel flicker
#

i consider these kinds of runs incredibly blessed

fleet monolith
#

yeah I always do a boon-less run to start and see if I get a hammer

#

if you're really smart, you play through to see the first two boons, then you restart, pick a boon that matches the second boon, and you get two of the same boon at the start since the first one changes to match the second

stiff summit
#

Maybe they have saves and theyre just replaying the same seed over and over

I am usually an fps person, but I've bought all the previous Supergiant games and really loving this rogue-like(?) experience so far. Just what I'd expect from you guys! o_o

i like how there's a (?) after rogue-like

the ? is there because the more appropriate nomenclature is rogue-lite

dusty cosmos
#

First time playing. Picked up a bow and it's telling me to Release {left mouse click icon} while flashing to power shot. How do i do that?

hexed smelt
#

you.... release the mouse button?

#

or whatever button it is you're pressing to fire

muted lichen
#

press and hold the mouse button and then release when it flashes

dusty cosmos
#

You mean the flash that happens after like 0.5/1 seconds of holding the mouse?

empty ferry
#

ye
if you do it right you should see streaks on the edges of the screen briefly and deal 60 base damage

dusty cosmos
#

It's not working

#

The task isn't finishing when i do that so i assumed it wasn't that, i did that before posting here

empty ferry
#

if you wait too long it doesnt do the power shot
you have to release precisely at the moment

#

it takes a bit of practice and good timing

dusty cosmos
#

ahhh, yeah

night turret
#

Worst part is.

empty ferry
#

same mechanic as in Bastion if you played that

night turret
#

There is a second powersshot

#

With a different timing.

empty ferry
#

for the dash attack, yes

night turret
#

...I was talking about the shield hammer, so I guess it makes it 3 in total

empty ferry
#

imagine if spear spin had a power shot

night turret
#

That will power-throw it in the garbage disposal.

empty ferry
#

why, its free extra damage if ur good

tiny bobcat
#

Why sometimes Zagreus bends the knee and stay in that position? Yoga practice?

night turret
#

The thing about the spin is... I usually lie in wait with it charged, cuz getting slapped while you spin like balerina in the corner is not that cash money if you ask me.

empty ferry
#

you can dash while you are charging, so that makes it safer

night turret
#

Cool posing is extra style points, and there is no way you can pass on style.

extra style is cool posing in your opponents faces, not far away, do you even DMC

I was dreaming recently about full Hades to DMC conversion. That was so beautifull I legit woke up depressed.

create a new save and tick hell mode.

need to beat the game first

I beat it at 44th try

Past of beat is still beat?

There was like literally zero information on every new patch. If you don't count the silhouettes.

Your question almost sounds philosophical. makes me wonder.

#

Hey, y'all. I require some knowledge. If I have enemies move/attack 50% faster, bonus enemies spawn, AND mini-boss encounters are more dangerous on.

Is there a consistent, run-agnostic way of dealing with Death Barge?

#

Or is it really just up to your run being good enough when you get there

indigo mango
#

nothing i can think of thats specific for death barge as opposed to just general run advice. killing the shield things is pretty obvious, the rest is just basically what you have the most trouble with

#

inferno bombers vs slam dancers etc

lusty wasp
#

you can know when it would come and try to avoid it i guess

#

like selecting other routes but they may as well not be available

vital dragon
#

Oh that's another question. CAN you avoid a mini-boss encounter

#

or are you guaranteed to have one?

lusty wasp
#

you can skip it but not always

vital dragon
#

I see. good to know

#

Yeah the bombers and slam dancers are REALLY hard to deal with when they all have armor, there's 10 of them, and you don't have space. :(

It's kind of a shame that the death barge is just absurdly more difficult than the other mini-boss encounter.

lusty wasp
#

do you really find megagorgon much easier?

#

i agree on the other ones tho

#

i mean megagorgon upgraded with max speed is crazy unless you bug it

vital dragon
#

I mean, on my personal experience, I have basically beaten the gorgon/head duo much easier

#

I almost always lose a whole defiance against the barge.

lusty wasp
#

oh - also: bonus enemy spawns should not affect mini boss rooms, right?

wise nebula
#

i think it does...

vital dragon
#

If it doesn't, then great. I was just listing down all my possible heat modifiers

wise nebula
#

for the transport in Asphodel at least

lusty wasp
#

thought i saw that in the patch

#

relatively recently

wise nebula
#

hmmm..

#

that i dunno, if it's like couple days recent

vital dragon
#

Is the answer to just "use chaos shield every run if you have those heats on" so that I don't lose a defiance at Barge

lusty wasp
#

yea i mean max a month recent

vital dragon
#

or do I just take into account that I'll always need an extra defiance to account for barge

red silo
#

am I the only one that thinks that thinks that shield is pretty damn strong vs. bosses?

wise nebula
#

affects that transport, spawn more dude with shields.

red silo
#

was easily able to beat hades with god awful upgrades using shield :|

wise nebula
#

^

vital dragon
#

Spugelo, Shield is often lauded as the "best weapon" in the game

#

So it's not surprising.

red silo
#

it's just too bad that beyond charge attack, the weapon itself it's all that... cool or fun to use.

wise nebula
#

Shield is the bread and butter but not so fun to use anymore.

vital dragon
#

It's boring but effective

indigo mango
#

i dont find it boring 🤷‍♂️

wise nebula
#

sir use more for grinding until it gets to the point of boring

red silo
#

well, whenever I'm using my shield, I always end up with the usual shield charge, dodge attack, shield charge dodge attack...

#

I bet dodge poison did almost half of my damage to hades <.<

vital dragon
#

Funny. I basically never bull rush as shield (assuming I'm not using Chaos shield)

#

but if you are using chaos shield, then yeah, I guess.

wise nebula
#

I do both. when enemy haven't spawn yet I charge up bullrush

#

and sometimes just using bullrush for the blocking

vital dragon
#

Fair

wise nebula
#

and then bullrush and wait for enemies to spawn and then toss the multiple shield.

echo quail
#

I like replacing the spin on the spear with the rapid attack

red silo
#

^

#

really liked it

#

broke a new record using it

#

a bit less than 30 minutes

#

0 heat tho...

echo quail
#

Its fun and it continues even if u dash

red silo
#

I went with tripple dash, both offense and defense in same package

#

I almost lost the run tho xD

#

used all revives and had 20% hp left

#

but hey, new record and I didn't lose so, who cares?

vital dragon
#

Yeah. We all get better

#

My current fastest run is a 9 heat sword run at 19 minutes.

I've seen speedrunners go to 8 minutes for a full run at decent heats too

#

I bow down to them

red silo
#

noticed that sword has quite powerful aspects

regal holly
#

arent they seeded runs

#

so ive been told

#

i just died to hades at 10% tho

wise nebula
#

world splitter?

red silo
#

I failed my first hades attempt when he had 1% hp left, it was my first attempt too. Ever since then it was downhill xD

wise nebula
#

i always forgot the name of that chopping Daedalus skill

red silo
#

until recently when I started winning spree

wise nebula
#

90 base damage crazy

red silo
#

90 base damage?

wise nebula
#

yeah replace your normal attack with a 90 base damage chopping thingy

red silo
#

which weapon is that?

lusty wasp
#

its world splitter for the sword

regal holly
#

that was my 2nd hades attempt

#

rough life

#

i had 0 dmg

wise nebula
#

Sword

red silo
#

oh is it some weapon upgrade?

wise nebula
#

yeah hammer upgrade

#

it's crazy with the Nemesis Aspect

red silo
#

ohh, no wonder. never seen upgrades for it, ever since I got spear never touched sword again.

narrow karma
#

such amazing Nemesis crits

wise nebula
#

brainless chopping if your lucky

red silo
#

yea noticed nemesis... MIDLY regretting spending 9 titan blood for zagreus on bow and exagryph

#

10% crit bow was nice, but... nememis. bruh

vital dragon
#

Nemesis is my fave weapon

#

You basically see a lot of big angry numbers pop up

#

it's fun

wise nebula
#

I like chopping and watch the 1k 1k 1k crits number floating around

red silo
#

although... I'll probably go with hestia on Exagrpyh.

#

*exagryph

wise nebula
#

basically special and world splitter are both just chop chop chop

red silo
#

probably...

wise nebula
#

I'm investing Nemesis sword, Chaos shield, Hestia gun, Chiron bow and Hades spear

#

I really dunno which spear aspect is better..

red silo
#

just really like AoE of Exagrpyh, just normal attack felt like a bit lacking and upgrades for it aren't all that impressive either... it's only good when you get the right boons and hammers :|

wise nebula
#

maybe zeg aspect is better?

red silo
#

all 3 aspects of spear sound very powerful imo

wise nebula
#

rooThink i'm clueless with spear

red silo
#

description of achilles aspect make it sound like it can reach one of the highest damages in the game, probably?

wise nebula
#

My best attempt at spear build is Dionysus with special that bounce around.

#

so I can cowered behind a wall and randomly throws spear around.

red silo
#

Dionysus? ohhh... is the 4th aspect added to the game?

wise nebula
#

KuonSip I'm guessing I'm really not playing it to the full potential here.

#

the poison stack boons

red silo
#

oh wait nvm. Dyonysus is a god right?

wise nebula
#

yes

inland shale
#

hey, I just started playing the game yesterday and my favourite thing has been getting the 3 bombs on the railgun and throwing them while running

wise nebula
#

^I like that and rocket on the railgun special.

inland shale
#

I suck with the spear but somehow got to elysium with it on first run

#

Oh yeah just tried rocket today

#

I literally forget the normal attack when using that weapon

#

Its special is so much better usually

wise nebula
#

so your railgun is now officially rocket launcher or grenade launcher now.

red silo
#

well, noticed that when you have enough upgrades, getting to final boss is kinda easy. Hardest part is to not lose too much hp and revives before the fight and then not lose the fight.

inland shale
#

yep

#

^xD well im stuck at styx, those poison dudes are really annoying

wise nebula
#

have enough DD(death defiance) b4 boss fight for the win

red silo
#

you can get more than 3?

#

you guys get paid?

wise nebula
#

yeah you oughta be quick and drink the antidote from the fountain when poisoned.

#

yes you can get more than 3

narrow karma
#

you can get more than 3?
refills, skelly and one extremely rare (legendary) Chaos boon

wise nebula
#

I usually need 2 b4 hades just to be safe

inland shale
#

just got the keepsake which gives invulnerability for 1 sec when you take damage, i want to get through styx with that, but recent runs have been kinda pathetic, especially since I am currently not sticking to a weapon for running

narrow karma
#

only recently found out about Chaos prophecies, that legendary boon is hard to find

inland shale
#

I am more awed by everything other than the gameplay to do some actual gameplay xDD

wise nebula
#

Had 4 DD last run

red silo
#

btw, are there any limits to boons that give you benefits by building them up? like beat a room with 0 hits or quickly enough.

wise nebula
#

Chaos +1 DD is soooo tempting.

#

and rare.

#

there are keepsakes for those.

inland shale
#

I got to eurydice room last run, was sitting there for a solid 3 mins listening to the song

red silo
#

I mean keepsakes that grow stronger

#

any limits to those?

wise nebula
#

not that I know of...

red silo
#

well even if there was a limit, doubt I'd reach it lol

wise nebula
#

it's just ||5x|| chambers in total

#

so yeah I doubt i'd reach it too

inland shale
#

I am so happy with this game, its actually the first game i bought with my own money

#

So worth within the first day

#

Also, the art seems to be made by actual olympian gods, along with the music. I literally sit in the main menu getting goosebumps for a solid minute before starting

red silo
#

Really liking the dialog. It's almost like somebody who actually knows how to write wrote them.

inland shale
#

Oh yesss, and the voice actors

#

my god I feel like an actual potato when i play the game, everyone in it sounds so cool

narrow karma
#

voice actors brought me into the game, I heard my friend streaming the Zag v Meg fight and melted

Just zagreus alone

#

New here, anyone can recommend some content creators for Hades?

inland shale

I think wanderbots has been making a lot since the beginning

dont know anyone apart from that because this is one of the few games I feel like playing rather than watching, cause atleast for the initial few days, im gonna be having fun and not focusing on actually grinding up or anything

the amount of miscellaneous conent in this game is enough to fill like 2 generic rpgs with lore

One of my favourites is the old narrator whose voice zagreus can hear xD. Actually had tears come out of my eyes in the persephone scene.

thx

red silo
#

Wish I could refund ||aspects||. Would have much better use for the 9 ||titan blood|| I successfully wasted on ||aspects||| I do not like xD

ocean kayak
#

so zaggy just said "i think i need a shave" in the mirror.
@supergiant games zagreus stubble art when

Also, when deciding what to pick for heat... I went with trap damage for first one. "Oh it's just traps. Just don't step on a trap, what could possible go wrong?" In the end I probably took half of the total damage from traps T. T

wet reef
#

Yup, final boss has an attack that counts as a trap :)

wise nebula
#

one of the worst traps.

Lemme date meg pls thnx

Lemme date meg pls thnx
SGG: I'll do you one better

tribal briar
#

I just knocked skelly to the very end of the ledge overviewing tarturus. Would be awesome if there was some easter egg dialogue there

wise nebula
#

jump

red silo
#

oh damn nice. didn't realize how many levels you can get for olympian favor. 27% and still can go higher?

bitter sable
#

for the rare chance, yeah, for epic it's capped at 25%

wise nebula
#

||50% for rare||

#

^ if you want to know the cap

serene obsidian
#

Yeah get rare and epic capped.....and then get pissed when you see normal boons cause you won't see alot of them lol

wise nebula
#

sometimes your so unlucky and the all 3 options are still just common

red silo
#

guessing with rare and epic maxed would quite easy to beat ||Hades|| even with garbage synergy boons.

wise nebula
#

in a way yes.

#

higher rarity has higher dmg boosts and better effects

candid pine
#

What is Chaos shield's max rank? Lvl 5?

wise nebula
#

but like you have a really gabbo build you're still have problems.

#

yeah

candid pine
#

Meh I'll sacrifice 3 ambro to max it ig

wise nebula
#

rooThink keep some ambrosia for later

candid pine
#

I have 10 atm

#

won't really feel 3

wise nebula
#

i guess you're ok to exchange some blood then.

candid pine
#

What I actually need are the diamonds

#

For my boi sisy

wise nebula
#

you'll grind them right back with Chaos shield anyways

#

oh yeah.

candid pine
#

What's the combo with the shield again? Charge - special - repeat?

wise nebula
#

yeah, bullrush - special

#

but you don't need to always do that

red silo
#

Haha! ||Hestia aspect|| at level 4 is god damn powerful. Takes only few seconds to kill Skelly

wise nebula
#

also bullrush when enemy spawning, toss the shields later still works

candid pine
#

As in just rush to charge the special ig

#

small distance

deft ibex
#

Hello everyone

red silo
#

Well I know what weapon I'll be using for next few runs.

wise nebula
#

sometimes bullrush - special is just overkill, normal special would also work.

candid pine
#

o/

wise nebula
#

ollo

#

also bullrush charge stance blocks some incoming attacks.

candid pine
#

I can bet middle management will piss me off hard time

#

I know that

wise nebula
candid pine
#

I have a feeling that big dusa head fight will tilt me hard

deft ibex
#

Hey, im looking around i i cannot find how to get roles, where do i need to look for that ?

candid pine
#

iirc it was #bot-commands

wise nebula
#

block and throw, block and throw if dashing doesn't work too well.

deft ibex
#

ty ❤️

wise nebula
#

type ?rank for the list of roles under #bot-commands

deft ibex
#

Boom

#

thats better

knotty depot
#

What are the chances to get normal-rare-epic-heroic boons?
If epic 10% and I have in the mirror +25% then it will become 12,5% or 35%?

wise nebula
#

probs 35%

#

I don't feel like it's that low like 12.5%

#

i have the rarity boost capped in my mirror

knotty depot
#

So, if you max out pobs in mirror then there are nearly never normal boons?

wise nebula
#

pretty much feels exactly like the cap, ||50% for rare 25% for epic||

#

with chaos boons that boost your rarity almost never common boons.

#

if you're really unlucky you still get common ones but they're really not 'common' anymore.

brave crypt
#

Does anyone else’s copy of hades freeze after they open the Microsoft game bar until they flicker the screen via alt+tab etc?

wise nebula
#

rooThink mine's fine

brave crypt
#

Hmm it shouldn’t be my computer...

wise nebula
#

maybe try fiddling with fullscreen window fullscreen and update win10 or graphic card driver something.

#

and v-sync?

rose bobcat
brave crypt
#

Oh I was looking for that channel

crystal plume
#

What's the best designed boss fight in everyone's opinion mine is Hades himself

calm charm
#

Hello everyone. I may have detected a minor bug in the game. Is this place the right place to post it at?

#

F10 in game. Just read that now. Sorry

deft ibex
#

Hey, if i wanna go back to the house of hades

#

the fastest way is to let an enemy kill me right?

#

there is no "end run" button?

crystal plume
#

There's a give up button

remote lily
#

but it doesnt shows up everytime

dry falcon
#

the meg fights are my favorite

deft ibex
#

the give up button acts like a death right?

dry falcon
#

the only boss fight with some variety

wise nebula
#

you can give up in a room with enemy i think

remote lily
#

it cancel whole run

deft ibex
#

sometimes i just wanna end a run to cash in the things

#

that i just got

dry falcon
#

then just see how far you can get

brave crypt
#

Just keep going, you’ll die eventually

dry falcon
#

exactly

#

you can collect even more

deft ibex
#

bu-but

#

;-;

wise nebula
#

die trying is the underworld way

deft ibex
#

sometimes i just get stuff that i dont like and its such a bore to keep on going knowing i will get my ass handed by the big man upstairs

inner arrow
#

You won't always get the RNG you want, the best way to make the game enjoyable is to practice with everything and get good at them

#

If you only play runs you get great rolls, you'll only have fun a third of your runs 😉

summer loom
#

well, once you get trinkets, you can influence things a lot

#

and rerolling helps too

inner arrow
#

For sure, but if you aim for very specific boons and try to get like, a Duo boon, it can be harsh

summer loom
#

oh yeah, they are something to treat as icing on the cake

inner arrow
#

For exemple I often try to get Premium Vintage as often as I can (simply love that boon) but I can't seem to get it that often

brave crypt
#

I personally want to see Hephaestus in the game

wise nebula
#

Daedalus kinda took his job

eternal trail
#

Anyone know how to get skelly to start giving u his statues?

#

beat 8 heat with multiple weapons

summer loom
#

just takes one

#

idk what it takes for him to provide them in the first place though, I started prior to them being added

wise nebula
#

beat one get the next.pretty much.

eternal trail
#

hmm maybe i haven't talked to him enough

brave crypt
#

I’ve only just met than btw

wise nebula
#

yeah probably that.

eternal trail
#

cos i've done up to 10 heat and nothing

#

i always forget that i can lol

summer loom
#

are the statues in the corner for you?

brave crypt
#

I don’t even know if Daedalus is personified in the game

eternal trail
#

nope and its' not giving me the achievement in game either

#

i'll check after 8 conversations i guess

#

for his next codex entry

summer loom
#

you might have to gift skelly a certain amount, or buy something with gems/diamonds from the guy near hades

eternal trail
#

relationship is maxed out

#

including the ambrosia

wise nebula
#

are you on heats yet, like did you beat the game at least once

#

not sure about how to trigger it, but i think with some heat level and relationship he'll just give you the first statue trial.

stiff pulsar
#

"cos i've done up to 10 heat and nothing"

wise nebula
#

that's.. troubling.

vocal thorn
#

You have to click on the statues that are in the bottom right corner of the skeleton room

wise nebula
#

i think i have my first just around 10-ish heat

vocal thorn
#

At least, I had to, at which point the skeleton was like, “oh yeah, here’s a statue”

inner arrow
#

Skelly gave me the option to get statues when I was around Heat 3, but I get heat up on all weapons equally, and I had Skelly at max friendship for a while there

wise nebula
#

oh you mean the statue is already there but you can't seems to get it done?

#

yeah need to investigate it first

inner arrow
#

Have you exchausted all dialogues with him? Like when you talk to him, what does he say?

#

For me he's always saying the same lines these days, I exhausted the dialogue options

wise nebula
#

me too.

vocal thorn
#

It’s super awkward, because I literally only knew the statues were there because I saw that other people had them. I never would have just randomly clicked on them otherwise

inner arrow
#

They're not there by default methinks

#

They only pop up after a bt

vast shell
#

super late but am i the only one who prefers the barge over the megagorgon?

#

especially when i'm running bow and/or don't have athena boons

inner arrow
#

I kinda like Barge but it messes Speedrunners

brisk trail
#

best typo ever LOL

inner arrow
#

Man that is an easy, dangerous typo

#

It's right there

vast shell
#

yeah. YEAH.

late saddle
#

Yeah I like the barge more 90% of the time

vast shell
#

plus it gets its own music! shadesmile

late saddle
#

one of my fave tracks is the barge one

inner arrow
#

I do like Mega Gorgon too, I think the fight is interesting, but it lacks a bit of unique feel

fiery skiff
#

Barge sucks with buffed elites, but buffed megagorgon sucks even more ~_~

brave crypt
#

I like the barge more

fiery skiff
#

Both ways in this biome are the reason why I hate elites in pact

inner arrow
#

Most other elite fights feel unique in their own way (Barge and Minotaur come to mind)

eternal trail
#

ya i think i've probably not talked skelly enough

inner arrow
#

I think it's something that'll change as the game updates, some elite fights show as being placeholder (Tartarus!)

eternal trail
#

i've exhausted with everyone else in the house but i forget about him lol

inner arrow
#

You forget about best boy?

#

Next time you talk to skelly, think of the fact that Zagreus and Skelly are voiced by the same person

#

It's really just a monologue with voices

wise nebula
#

I kill myself

#

for practise

late saddle
#

An impressive range

inner arrow
#

Indeed

crystal plume
#

I wonder who the new Olympian could be I would love to see Hera Queen of the gods

inner arrow
#

I assume the gods that are mentionned in the Aspects are likely to come as Olympians?

#

So Hera would be possible

#

I'm interested in something akin to Demeter myself.. especially since she is the mother of Persephone

late saddle
#

my birthday gift to myself is probably just going to be playing the new update all day

#

how did I never find the spear upgrade that causes your special to do area damage before this is amazing

cinder ice
#

I'm hoping for Apollo personally

sullen nebula
#

I don't see Hera in Hades by the virtue of the fact that Supergiant probably aren't really into delving in the fact that Hera is Zeus' sisterwife

fleet monolith
#

wowwwww

#

I did not know Zeus was Japanese

wise nebula
#

feels like Demeter is more possible.

#

and fun

inner arrow
#

Demeter would hype me

wise nebula
#

rooThink he wasn't. he's just greek.

#

yis demeter plz plz

inner arrow
#

@late saddle When's your birthday?

stiff pulsar
#

demeter with plant theme sounds awesome

#

hera is what the goddess of the home/hearth?

#

not sure what that would entail

late saddle
#

21st, Xgp

wise nebula
#

marriage and birth i think

#

ironically

#

yeah. i find charm pretty useful since it works on everyone

late saddle
#

Congrats!

brittle perch
#

The peel ending is the best so far

crystal plume
#

Triple rockets with the gun plus doom or posion is amazing

warm hedge
#

Does Hades use steam cloud or should I transfer my save files over when I switch computers?

hexed smelt
#

@light bay Please report bugs in-game by pressing the F10 key! This lets you describe the bug and sends a screenshot and your save data to the folks at SGG so they can check it out and work on a fix ^^

light bay
#

Is this an in-game feature?

hexed smelt
#

yup!

#

that is why i said to report bugs in-game

light bay
#

Wops sorry I missed that 😅

wooden flame
#

Ioioioioi

#

I want

#

Demeter

#

That is my online name everywhere

vocal thorn
#

@warm hedge My save files are on my hard drive, so I'm assuming your saved files are on your hard drive too

#

The only possible precaution is to make sure you transfer files to and from the same game version. Like, if you backup your saved files today, then pasted them into your new computer next month (and the game is a different version then), then I'm not sure if it would error

late saddle
#

Nemesis sword is the easiest aspect to work with, in my experience

#

Maybe the others are better, idk, but I do best with that one

vocal thorn
#

Nemesis sword is my favorite, but honestly it's so much easier and safer for me to hit things from afar with the chiron bow

eternal trail
#

Nemesis sword or Chaos shield are probably the easiest i find as well

lusty stump
#

Nemesis is quite insane with the damage output it can do if you get lucky with the crit and set up.

eternal trail
#

can make pretty much any kind of build work with those two

zenith carbon
#

I'm getting pretty far up on hestia rail

eternal trail
#

while others u need a little bit more specific stuff

zenith carbon
#

Don't need a whole lot to make it a useful aspect

#

(except a lot of blood I guess)

eternal trail
#

haha

zenith carbon
#

It's actually kind of funny how I completely dismissed it when I first unlocked it

#

25 whole damage on manual reload

eternal trail
#

my fav rail is still Eris though

#

seems to be an across the board 60% dmg

zenith carbon
#

I might give it a go later ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

but right now I'm having fun with 400+ damage aphrodite manual reload shots

#

dang, game froze

#

that's a first for me

humble finch
#

I had cutscenes where I'm still charging my weapon

#

So it's chill

#

Its funny looking too

zenith carbon
#

hum, I think maxing out the hera bow may have messed up the multi-cast 😦

#

I don't know if it was intended to be done or not so I don't know if that counts as a bug lol

#

Or maybe it's the no-charge shot

eternal trail
#

patrocles' trinket also makes lasers pretty trivial

granite lintel
#

Is there a place where you can talk about bugs youve seen? not sure if its been reported but I had a bug wherein after I charmed (aphrodite boon) bone hydra heads would hit me while charmed for 136 damage

light bay
#

You can report bugs while in game by hitting f10

#

@granite lintel

granite lintel
#

ty

light bay
#

No problem, "the welcome to peck update", one of the mods informed me of this earlier today actually.

granite lintel
#

huh, always seems to be a happy concidence things like that

light bay
#

Yeah. They were very useful, even though I was being a doof.

granite lintel
#

sounds like some good mods

light bay
#

Yup!

hexed smelt
#

my name's sparrow, by the way ;)

humble musk
#

Holy smokes, I didn't know that Noclip also has released videos of the development of Hades. I know what I'm watching tonight.

granite lintel
#

another thing if anyone knows it, is it guaranteed how many rooms you will get that are darkness/gemstones/keys/nectar

echo quail
#

Doubt it

bleak nimbus
#

best Rail aspect?

#

in your opinions?

granite lintel
#

Hestia

bleak nimbus
#

build you go for?

#

attack damage % increase?

#

question, is the 150 damage a separate instance

#

or can it get augmented by % damage boons

#

so if i have Aphro's 100% attack daamge boost, that means that it'll do 300 damage on first shot?

granite lintel
#

I can't quite remember, but i'm pretty sure yea

#

150 damage even if you have to just go a crit build is still insane

flat vapor
#

it just makes the first shot 150 damage, so yes

bleak nimbus
#

nice

#

cool

#

Rail crit build or Zeus build

#

is some of my favorites to play

ocean kayak
#

Rail works best with poison + support fire

#

so go for dionysus and artemis

#

everything on screen dies. everything.

bleak nimbus
#

yeah that was my Zag Rail build

#

wanna try something else

#

I found Zeus more attractive than Poison for me

#

with support fire and crit sprinkled in
