@opal lodge i should test it

plucky shoal
#

omg

#

and then i lost heat 1 by 1 tick of poison

agile saddle
#

I would run each weapon before u start heat

#

So u can get more blood/diamonds

sterile light
#

Yeah

#

well you can do 1 heat and still do 0 heat

plucky shoal
#

1 heat with bow

#

i know i need to work thru 1 by 1

agile saddle
#

U can do each wep at 0 heat

#

For the items

#

Bow is easily a more advanced weapon cause it's stops u when attacking.

plucky shoal
#

i usually just pick whatever has the darkness bonus

agile saddle
#

I see

#

U need to add a spoiler over the last boss name

plucky shoal
#

i deleted sorry

agile saddle
#

Make sure u are picking fated choices with hammers on weps so u can complete quests

#

Explosive shot with the bow is one of the best hammer upgrades. Bow is my main wep with Spear as my secondary

Hi everyone, finally got Hades.
I'm playing on KB+M, and feel that it's missing a key feature. Perhaps it was discussed before, or maybe already in plans for future updates.
Was there any mention from Supergiant about the alternate movement scheme?
So that WASD movement maps to isometric directions, rather than screen ones.

I was honestly surprised not to have this in options anywhere, as imo it's a must for such isometric gameplay, and easy to implement.

amber garden
#

You want D to move you down right for example?

unborn olive
#

Yes!

amber garden
#

Interesting.

#

That sounds tough to get used to lol

plucky shoal
#

there heat 1 bow done

proud orbit
#

sounds unintuitive, i can only imagine that being useful for isometric grid-style games

plucky shoal
#

ez pz

#

also artemis special, demeter attack that

#

time

#

@unborn olive you could probably do that with a steam controller

#

or something like joy2key

unborn olive
#

The isometric look (especially with how rooms are built) makes my brain expect exactly that. There are 4 major directions, to which walls/columns and the rest of the world aligns. The character is in that plane, so his direction should align with the world.
Would make easier to dodge around columns, too, if I had to press 1 button instead of holding WA, SD etc.

But maybe I'm the weird one, then. And yeah, that's how I played grid-based isometric games since forever.
I don't remember how Bastion played - perhaps I had to adapt there as well πŸ€”

Don't have a controller, will look into joy2key thing, thank you!

proud orbit
#

Bastion and Transistor played the same

white forge
#

You get a "companion" when you fill out someone's affection yeah?

proud orbit
#

But yeah joy2key might help and just bind D to D+S or something!

#

@white forge only for some characters

#

||Meg, Sisyphus, Dusa, Thanatos and Skelly currently||

arctic flint
#

how the heck do I fish

#

when do I hit it

flat vapor
#

when it goes down completely and flashes

white forge
#

there's a small splash, where it just doesn't go beneath, and a big splash where its completely submerged

#

hit it on the big one, yeah

flat vapor
#

(not when it flashes the prompt button)

#

if y'all have played animal crossing it's like that kind of fishing

arctic flint
#

surprisingly havent however mr guan yu gang, how do I get that aspect unlocked?

flat vapor
#

achilles will have a conversation for you after you have, according to the patch notes, "several aspects unlocked"

#

the speech bubble will be bigger than normal ones (it's the same one nyx has when she unlocks the mirror for you)

#

personally, i already had all the aspects unlocked, so i can't tell you exactly what several aspects mean

random lion
#

I got it after having like two other aspects honestly so not many

split mauve
#

I think I had two yeah

#

think you just have to have more than zag aspect unlocked

random lion
#

Without like.. mad spoilers (if any?) do the companions matter? Like,, what do they do and are they different from eachother? I know who to get them from, just not sure which to do

vocal thorn
#

They can help up to 5 times per game, though you might have to play the game for a while before that happens

#

If you don't want spoilers, you might eventually find one or two by accident, though it might take a couple months to accidently stumble upon them

flat vapor
#

they're activatable keepsakes, basically, that do various different things for you

grizzled verge
#

Had any suggestions put out there about keeping heat settings for each weapon separate, i hate doing a high heat run on bow then having to redo all the settings for a dif weapon

flat vapor
#

some do damage, some are supportive

#

though i can say that each companion is noticeably different from each other, gameplay-wise

hot rivet
#

We need a space marine zagreus skin to go with adamant rail.... also I was wondering why sometimes mobs drop gold, other times (like chests or survival rooms) they don't

#

The price jacking wouldn't have been too bad if those mobs gave gold

modern garnet
#

Isn't it the pillars that drop the gold?

hot rivet
#

pillars?

#

no those are bouldy jr's

mental sleet
#

where do I post pre-bossfights

#

is here ok or do it go to spoilers?

prime hill
#

i would assume spoilers for boss fights, not sure though

proud orbit
#

Only the final boss is considered a spoiler

#

But if you're spoiling story elements go to spoiler anyway

#

I'm not sure what you intend to post

mental sleet
#

the boss itself wont be named

#

basically the first time the odds have stacked for me this much

prime hill
#

I havent reached the boss I think, is he/she/it actually named?

mental sleet
#

so

prime hill
#

or just called Final Boss

mental sleet
#

that is spoiler

prime hill
#

figured

proud orbit
#

We call it the final boss

#

Its identity is a spoiler in itself

modern garnet
#

Or "da final boss" for short

prime hill
#

Ah, gotcha

#

I dont think I've reached it lol

mental sleet
#

ah well just realized I cant post pics in this channel anyway

prime hill
#

Can we all agree that Cerberus is best boi though

proud orbit
#

thats not hermes

mental sleet
#

ceberus the heck doggo

proud orbit
#

cerby is a good boi

#

but hermes is best boi

prime hill
#

heck doggo indeed

#

OOF

#

I don't like Hermes all too much

#

Boon-wise, i mean

white forge
#

WAT

mental sleet
#

also it is a matter of time before that joke about Hermes' speed is made so I have to assume it is already made

prime hill
#

Ares and Wine man are fun though

modern garnet
#

Hermes is just scout from tf2

white forge
#

Hermes has awesome boons

#

@modern garnet What have you DONE?

#

I can't unsee that now

mental sleet
#

Bonk

modern garnet
#

BONK

white forge
#

But its so true

proud orbit
#

PLAY BALL

white forge
#

well, he's a non-annoying scout

prime hill
#

Replace hermes voice actor with scout's please

white forge
#

im a freakin' blur here

prime hill
#

quick, tell supergiant.

mental sleet
#

Athena is Engineer

proud orbit
#

I'm runnin circles around ya

white forge
#

I'm runnin circles around ya

prime hill
#

#

AAAA FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE

steep robin
#

You see this? I’m a force of nature

white forge
#

I got it I got it I got it

proud orbit
#

but we're getting off topic now! the point is:

#

Hermes boons are great

white forge
#

uh huh

mental sleet
#

hermes is kinda generally useful boons

white forge
#

Extra dashes make hades sooo much easier, because you now have enough to easily get out of range of his swings

prime hill
#

Are there plans to add any more Olympians?

#

There're plenty, Im just wondering

mental sleet
#

as it it's always good, but there's not really many game breaking builds with them

white forge
#

i often buy hermes boons in styx just for the chance of that one

modern garnet
#

5 dashes is a good number of dashes

mental sleet
#

yeah dash is super though

proud orbit
#

I think this is all the Olympians they plan to add @prime hill

white forge
#

and extra speed for attack/special is nice if that's your build

prime hill
#

Sounds good

#

I know there's another weapon coming, though

#

Can't wait for that.

proud orbit
#

Drift Dash is my favourite Hermes boon

steep robin
#

persephone

mental sleet
#

DEJA VU

prime hill
#

Also can't wait for the final boss lmao

white forge
#

although the extra cast speed and casts drop faster feel really underwhelming

proud orbit
#

@mental sleet did you see my video lol

white forge
#

It's a little unbalanced

fast minnow
#

i feel like they could fit in another god or two without it feeling bloated tbh

mental sleet
#

I did not

proud orbit
prime hill
#

Nice pfp @fast minnow

white forge
#

Drift dash is... extra speed after dashing?

fast minnow
#

thank you

prime hill
#

Such a happy boi

white forge
#

wait

#

are you a dog?

prime hill
#

he obviously is

proud orbit
#

for interested parties

white forge
#

Because Discord rules say you gotta be old enough

prime hill
#

uho

oak knot
#

drift dash for hydra GWunuDrakeNo

white forge
#

N Y O O M

mental sleet
#

yes

#

the video

modern garnet
#

Turns you into rukey

proud orbit
mental sleet
#

would change a few thing if it were up to me to edit the video

#

but good nonetheless

fast minnow
#

woof

mental sleet
#

oh noes

white forge
#

Bork?

mental sleet
#

probably could do pause + quick zoom on the perk itself, highlighting the extra movespeed bonus

#

yeah thats kinda it

#

can have the music to only start then

proud orbit
#

tru

mental sleet
#

damn im gonna lose

#

I took the spear with the shorter dash distance

#

and now I cannot dodge

proud orbit
#

serrated edge is neat tho

modern garnet
#

Bet you wish you had 5 dashes right now

mental sleet
#

this is the deal ever

#

I have

#

3 dash

#

πŸ˜‚

oak knot
#

3 hits on dash? that upgrade is the best

modern garnet
#

Better than one ig

fast minnow
#

i thought it was two

oak knot
#

2 is for the sword

fast minnow
#

ah my b

mental sleet
#

yes but facing da boss 1 extra hit and no dodge (on 3 dash) and I cannot dodge along side doing damage

#

his aoe swipe is massive

#

I managed with the shield to do 3/4, counting his extra health, with only 2 defiance

proud orbit
#

might as well talk in gameplay if you want to discuss the final baws

mental sleet
#

sorry

prime hill
#

one of these days i'll reach the final boss

#

today is not that day

proud orbit
#

but tomorrow could be Pog

white forge
#

^

#

Ok, I'm ACTUALLY gonna sleep now, cause I have to get up in about 4 hours

#

so goodnight

#

love y'all

proud orbit
#

have a nice sleepy sleep

white forge
#

gonna cast chill on myself

agile saddle
#

Charm is completely busted wtf

rotund finch
#

did it always cost 3 Ambrosia to gift someone?

#

OH WOW that was a bug.. XD my forced overtime was set to 100% after the update... no wonder that last run seemed harder...

#

I just reset it now

#

but wow

#

yeah attacks were almost instant

#

Especially the final bosses spin attacks, as soon as the warning showed up he used them, and just in general I couldn't do anything basically

agile saddle
#

U can dash through his spin attack and not get hit

rotund finch
#

doing another run now at the new cap of 40% and yeah... that was a lot faster

#

I couldnt really react fast enough to time it, it was too fast lol

agile saddle
#

Ahh

prime hill
#

@proud orbit i think i hit the final boss

#

maybe possibly

proud orbit
#

you can always spoiler tag it!

#

using || on either side

prime hill
#

is it ||Hades|| lol

proud orbit
#

||it would seem so huh!||

prime hill
#

i mean

#

YEAH

#

that fight did not end well at all

proud orbit
#

dust off and try again!

prime hill
#

i shall try

woeful summit
#

you got this!

hardy scarab
#

Hey devs i have a few comments from a dev perspective in game play. Like I get that the bow is meant to have an attack that charges and then shoots for power shots, but then if u have charion asspect u can't even break through the shield wielding guys in elysium or thesius unless u get really lucky in boons since the hammer doesn't allow u get get piercing. which makes the bow a liability late game unless ur lucky. And then theres the fact the bow doesn't have an attack on instant light tap, it makes dealing damage in a pinch or geting behind someone very difficut to "get around" the frontal shield. I feel the bow should should have a tap attack that is weak like 10 dmg and doesn't go that far maybe even melee, but then if u charge it it has normal bow shenanegans.

Then theres chaos boons. Like they're good personally some what... but they all reinforce base damage without adding any flair. I get it's chaotic cause u have to suffer first then ur get rewarded, but that screams more hades or even furries rather than chaotic. I think that chaos should also add elemental dmg and their various status effect as well that stack with ur other boons, but weaker or more chaotic in damage or something. Like chaos i feel as a character is amazing, as a gameplay mechanic meh unless u are tyring to get the ones where you get more items. Like buff chaos somewhat to be more "chaotic"; after all, its the primordial originator of all things.

Then theirs gift giving... i was flooding charon with gifts cause logically i figured they'd eventually in some fashion offer me a discount. Same with the Eurdicye where i wanted her to give me more food or something... or maybe it one portion for now and another in 10 enounters as left overs etc. I just feel like for a single player game, its awefully over balanced, when the best part of the game is having all these boons mix and match and cause lots of death and chaos on screen.

random lion
#

Obviously the game is still a WIP but I think it would be super cool to have some benefits like discounts or extra potion options through gifting and the like

hallow cargo
#

your mini-essay would be better placed in the #hades-feedback channel @hardy scarab, although the devs aren't really interested in such major changes at the moment

#

and the time has likely passed

#

but it's awesome to see that you're interested enough in the game to be passionate about its development

polar elbow
#

is there a log in the game to review conversations/is that a planned feature down the line? sorry if this has been asked before I'm new to interacting with the community and stuff

random lion
#

You can check the patch notes and such but to my knowledge I think that’s it? I know there’s a screen when you finish the story mission explaining some of the things they have planned

rugged frost
#

I believe if you click the major update button on the main menu it tells you some of the stuff coming in the next updaye

void nova
#

You guys

#

Fffffffff

#

I literally just accidentally forfeited the run during the final boss fight

#

This is also at least the third time I've done this, though never during the final battle until this time

#

I am butt hurt

#

I wish there was a way for me to not have lost all my progress from that

#

What a waste πŸ˜’

#

Now my hands/arms hurt and I didn't even get my titan blood lol

#

Spent nearly two hours on this one two cuz I was pausing off and on to chat with the fam, in fact that's what happened, I paused to chat for a sec, then went to start back up but accidentally pushed buttons in the wrong order and boop.

#

Stupid :[

#

Oh well

#

Feeling down about myself temporarily but .... At least I left the house in a cute outfit today lol, so I can be proud of myself too πŸ˜…

#

Blaaah anyway /vent, but really though is there an alternate saving philosophy anyone can think of that preserves the whole permadeath thing but doesn't make it quite as easy to wipe out progress? I've lost runs to crashes before too

unborn spoke
#

oopsie

night turret
#

There is atleast 6 runs in the past mounth that were canceled outright at least an hour in, because I suddenly do a -300 iq move.

void nova
#

At least I'm not alone lol πŸ’œ tho, sorry for your loss πŸ˜…πŸ’œπŸ’œ

unborn spoke
#

i botch alot myself.

sharp parcel
#

but dashing into last boss' vase is a 400 IQ move bouldy

night turret
#

Sometimes, I think "Let's get together with Dio for this run!" and just stroll by the keepsakes not changing anything

#

Realising what I've done only after Furies are sent home.

empty ferry
#

i mean you can still change keepsakes then
its how i chase my fated list duos: use one god keepsake in tartarus, use another in asphodel

agile saddle
#

why is getting Dio legendary way harder the Athena and Aphro?

#

like u need a ton of boons from him

#

seems kind of unbalanced when Ath and Aphro its reasonable

brisk trail
#

You need two from Dio.

#

Same for most other Gods.

agile saddle
#

looking at the wiki it seems like u need more

brisk trail
#

That's outdated.

agile saddle
#

ohh ok phew

brisk trail
#

People were (rightfully) up in arms about it, so now it's just a Hangover source and Trippy Shot.

agile saddle
#

sweet

#

well it made no sense to make his so much harder

#

when Aphro's charm is completely busted

sharp parcel
#

@empty ferry if you wanna do the keepsakes prophecy you could just ||equip all of em in the courtyard, that counts||

empty ferry
#

no, i meant duo boons

sharp parcel
#

ah

agile saddle
#

duo boons is a long one for sure

winter cape
#

@sharp parcel what's the condition to trigger medusa keep sake?

sharp parcel
#

@winter cape keep talking to her, then she'll give you a quest to ||repair the lounge, so you just buy some cheap lounge renovations and a bed for the dog||

winter cape
#

I've been talking to her for a while, still no other response

#

I think there's a hidden trigger

#

For skelly its to defeat him with maxed Zag aspect sword

empty ferry
#

thats not hidden

winter cape
#

For Meg it's to defeat her with all the sisters

empty ferry
#

thats the quest that skelly tells you about explicitly
dusa has the same kind
keep giving her nectar

sharp parcel
#

you need to reach the lock first

#

then get the quest

autumn pagoda
#

One narrator line sounds different about "Fancy Recliner (bedroom)". Other actor l guess?

sick gyro
#

what are the gold hearts in the codex?

sharp parcel
#

can't progress further

#

it'll be added as the game develops

#

@autumn pagoda nah, just recorded at a different time

frail remnant
#

does charges of death defiance at the mirror deplete themselves? like if i die would i have to re-purchase that upgrade or is it just a run by run basis

sharp parcel
#

you start every run with that amount

frail remnant
#

oh that's sweet

#

thought it depleted and i'd need to get it each time

#

thanks!

sharp parcel
#

mirror upgrades are permanent

frail remnant
#

good to know

sharp parcel
#

but you can tweak up and down as you please

frail remnant
#

that's perfect

#

i expected some sort of penalty

#

pleased to see there isn't

sharp parcel
#

there is a pact modifier that limits the amount of darkness you can have in your mirror

#

if you want an extra challenge

merry narwhal
#

Honestly it'd be nice to have 'Mirror Sets' so like, A B & C.

#

So you could have one set for no limit. One set for a level of limit and another for max limit.

#

And not have to manually change them. :x

sharp parcel
#

eh, I suppose

#

but once you try playing with the mirror limiter, you'll never want to turn it on again

#

that's my experience, at least

merry narwhal
#

I can imagine.

main venture
#

I wonder what legends they'll choose for the other weapons final aspect πŸ‘€

sharp parcel
#

John Rambo for the rail

#

King Arthur for the sword

#

probably some Babylonian or Mesopotamian for the bow, no idea about the shield

#

could be someone northern european, a viking

oak knot
#

the shield is clearly tower knight from demon's soul

gentle plinth
#

How do you think the gameplay will look like? I mean after beating the hades floor, are players gonna fight some famous humans still alive? Or like modern one or some other kind of thing

#

Or maybe past the mortal world some plot twist will happen, like gods kidnapping persephone and zagreus discovering his godly aspect (for example zeus with thunders) will stand against them with the help of important ones from hades?

#

Like total 180, boons from charon like death bonus, achilles + strenght etc

#

And boons related to that, is my idea any good or impossible, what do you think?

empty ferry
#

There is nothing planned after the final boss

gentle plinth
#

There is

#

After the hades there will be something and we dont know what

sharp parcel
#

I think there will be a playable sequence, you just walk and talk

#

and then it sort of ends

gentle plinth
#

Anyways you know what i mean

mild kettle
#

hi, are there any achievements planned in the game in steam?

oak knot
#

they plan to add achievements after early access phase for now

white forge
#

noice

empty ferry
#

*by the time early access ends

cosmic heart
#

Well, when the remaster of a game(from AAA) are worse then early access of the indie game 🀣 (F for WarCraft3 and Blizzard company)

Huge love to Supergiant Games and Darren Korb Personally gilmanlove πŸ’ž

stoic quail
#

I'm surprised that people are surprised. AAA games are just corporate machines, there's no love in it. If you want the real good games always go for small company or indie devs.

cosmic heart
#

Also Guys or @tacit lodge @vale drift

#

About Demeter, please someone confirm that she will change outlook from season to season with effects of boons ? Like Winter, Spring,Summer, Autumn themed boons and looks. It will be outstandingly good

empty ferry
#

she wont change

#

the reasons are spoilers

tawny patio
#

that would be too much dev work for just one god I guess

night turret
#

Imagine making powers for a god every season, and then fix bugs every season?

sterile light
#

well

cosmic heart
#

I thinking about it like creating each season hardcoded bundle with effects and outlook and make d script that will check date and depending on that change goddess outlook and boons

#

And this goddess is deserving that, She is goddess of seasons cmon ) Its not a lightning Zeus or Ares )

empty ferry
#

theres a story reason why she will always be how she is now

#

and that reason closely matches her myth

cosmic heart
#

@empty ferry oh then I will have my eye on it, thanks!

sterile light
#

and as long as zag can't leave I don't see how things will change lol

#

Studying classics at school was spoilers for me.. πŸ˜†

#

Incase the rest of the world outside England doesn't call it the same, classics meaning Latin and Ancient Greek

dapper flume
#

We learned roman and greek in my electives.

#

So every test you had to write Mars and Ares

sharp moth
#

does anyone know are at least some of the upcomingℒ️ achievements gonna be retroactive? or is it clean slate?

#

as in, when the achievements are released, will i have some of them completed as long as i have already achieved them as long as i trigger the check for them? or do i have to do everything from the start to get any achievements? thinkUpsidedown

sharp parcel
#

the achievements will probably mirror the prophecies from the fated list

white forge
#

yeah

sharp parcel
#

so they'll be retroactive based on the list

#

you boot the save, bam, gottem

sharp moth
#

that's reassuring to hear

white forge
#

Some can probably be done retro, like beating a certain number of runs/bosses, or in a certain time

#

but some might be you have to do it in a run

#

like beat a floor/boss hitless

sharp parcel
#

yeah, all of that stuff is stored in the save already

okay cool, i'll take your word for it

Demeter special
Zeus call w/jolted boon
Tipsy shot cast with damage resist while in the fog, Demeter-dio duo, and Zeus-dio duo
World splitter and double dash hammers, plus some chaos boons I don’t remember right now

#

Nothing hit me and everything just melted as I dashed around spamming attack and tossing out fields of death

#

Oh, and the Demeter boon for increased damage done and decreased damage taken while empty on bloodstones

amber garden
#

Is it decreases damage taken on that boon? I must be misreading it =\

proud orbit
#

"take 10% less damage and deal more."

vale kite
#

when you're out of cast you take less damage and deal more

sharp parcel
#

it decreases the damage you take and increases the damage you deal

proud orbit
#

Where are you misreading it

sharp parcel
#

damage reduction is the same regardless of rarity, but damage bonus increases with rarity

white forge
#

hmm

#

not sure about this one

there was something about it in a patch, i dont think it does

main venture
#

Keys for me are now only a trade good for Nectar :p

#

And yeah, sorry >>

white forge
#

"Convenience Fee: no longer raises cost of Bounty resources sold in Charon's shop in Styx"

#

It was just that it was 10 gems for a key, which is just the reverse of a key for 10 gems

main venture
#

I tend to get a lot of keys with the contractor upgrade :p

#

So I just swap for other stuff since I have everything unlocked by now.

bounty resources what does that mean

@trim surge diamond/blood available in the final biome's shop

how about deleting darkness from charon shops

I thought so, but then they remove the mirror limiter from hell mode

What encounter mean?
1 room , 1 run , or 1 enemey ?

1 combat room

As a result, Styx is very good for levelling trinkets

Of course, you have to get to Styx first lol

Well items however are worse because of that.

what exactly does godmode change anyway?

Maybe if there was some way to prolong the Chiron autoaim

static wadi

yes

#

attack again

sleek obsidian
#

I typically use the lob on the rail. In the run where I cleared it I had Zeus attack with jolted which helped a lot and also the cast recall on wide enemy sucking blade rifts

#

Which was handy

teal patrol
#

also anyone else finding new dio dash to be really really good

sharp parcel

they buffed dashes across the board, which is nice

haughty raptor

I just wish they worked a bit different, affecting enemies at the start and end of the dash

It does a lot less damage than the last iteration of nasty dash.

Hm so basically in godmode, if you die a buncha times, you slowly gain damage resist buffs till they cap at a whopping 80% eh?

Do you start at zero?

teal patrol

10% i think

love the rail, once I figured out how to reload while firing the special it felt way smoother

though I have heard that the rail is harder on gamepad because of aiming the special

Im not sure if its been answered before, but are the Hades devs okay with being a little less realistic to lore for the sake of the story? Like not staying true to greek mythology for the sake of the game?

#

i assume so

#

also @chilly stump we love you!

chilly stump
#

Hey @latent light, we have! Our general approach to Hades is with the perspective that a lot of mythology retells stories differently, and that mythology has been interpreted countless ways over time. Our Hades is just another interpretation of mythology in line with that tradition. πŸ˜„

For anyone curious:

Greg05/17/2019
@cedar hinge 'Did the Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller play any role in how Achilles and ||Patroclus ||'s relationship was written?'

I read The Song of Achilles during development and really enjoyed it. Achilles and the setup for his storyline were already in our game at that point, as I have a long-standing fascination with The Iliad and Achilles -- let's just say this was not the first time I tried to get a character based on Achilles in a game. Though I think The Song of Achilles did reinforce to me that my reading of Achilles' relationship, and I was glad to experience some of the surprises in the book since I had a sense of how the story would end. Anyway I have nothing but praise for Miller's sharp prose and her ability to conflate the natural and supernatural in such a believable way. Some of the side characters in the book were really excellent, such as Thetis and Chiron.

vocal thorn
#

I mean like, The Iliad could have been enough inspiration by itself.

opaque nexus
#

I was in school for the q&a did anyone ask the devs what their favorite aspects in hades were

lusty stump
#

kind of but not really. was asked what's their least favourite aspect was and what's their work on making the aspects be well different themselves.

opaque nexus
#

Did they answer any

shrewd blade
#

guys what is due boon and how can i get it ?

opaque nexus
#

@lusty stump

opaque nexus
#

Yeah I had a feeling they would mention zagreus spear

lusty stump
opaque nexus
#

Sword better be something medieval

#

Rambo aspect for gun kek

#

Ok rail 4th aspect better be something American

bold sluice
#

colonel colt aspect

opaque nexus
#

I’m assuming each of them are gonna be from different regions

#

Sword = Medieval Europe
Rail = β€˜MURICA
Bow = ???
Shield = ???

bold sluice
#

i'm interested if any weapon can be tied to slavic culture (me being a slav)

#

maybe it's for the 6th weapon

opaque nexus
#

The scythe weapon they’ll add

#

Kek

bold sluice
#

like a huge axe

opaque nexus
#

I feel like final weapon is gonna be pure melee

#

So we have 2 of each weapon type

#

2 pure melee, 2 hybrid and 2 pure ranged

bold sluice
#

just get a hammer xD

opaque nexus
#

My guess for final weapon is a big slow super strong weapon or a fast dual wield short range melee

bold sluice
#

so hammer or... nunchucks?

opaque nexus
#

Big melee would be the scythe

#

We would have 2 aspects free

#

Demeter and Thanatos

unique river
#

Thanos

bold sluice
#

true true

#

for harvesting

opaque nexus
#

Yeah

bold sluice
#

i mean, the 4th aspect doesn't need to keep it a scythe

opaque nexus
#

Thanatos could be a combo counter type thing

bold sluice
#

just as guan yu isn't a spear strictly speaking

#

so we could have an axe as a reference to scandinavian/slavic

opaque nexus
#

Big sickle

#

It gets more powerful if you have a hammer boon on it

bold sluice
#

oh god

#

sickle and hammer

#

LENIN ASPECT

opaque nexus
#

Let’s go

bold sluice
#

seize the boons of production

#

Ok we can all agree sword 4th is probably gonna be medieval

bold sluice
#

seems logical

winter cape
#

lightsaber

bold sluice
#

i was thinking energy barrier for a shield, actually

opaque nexus
#

Camelot aspect?

#

Idk lol

winter cape
#

Captain America aspect

bold sluice
#

that's just default shield lol

opaque nexus
#

Guan yu was a real dude tho

#

Wouldn’t fit exactly

bold sluice
#

maybe bow could actually be medieval

#

crossbow aspect

opaque nexus
#

Who is a famous crossbow user though

bold sluice
#

huh

#

i mean, robin hood would fit into the normal bow aspect

opaque nexus
#

Wait

bold sluice
#

bonus gold reward yknow

opaque nexus
#

You know phalanx where a bunch of shield dudes stand around a bow

bold sluice
#

true

opaque nexus
#

Nvm that’s Athena

#

And no Greek stuff for 4th aspect

bold sluice
#

native american aspect for the bow?

opaque nexus
#

Nah bro we need America for the gun

bold sluice
#

i mean, there's a lot of americas

#

or some kind of aztec stuff for bow or shield

#

i'm not strong at their mythology tho

brisk trail
#

which weapon its better to kill the final boss?

bold sluice
#

i'd say shield, if you just want to kill him once

brisk trail
#

i tried

bold sluice
#

but all are more or less viable

brisk trail
#

yeah, i can just like camp and waiting he attacks me (while protecting with shield) then speed and attack, but he keeps spawn enemies and is so annoying

bold sluice
#

i can recommend fishing for athena's aid with her keepsake

brisk trail
#

how do i fish?

bold sluice
#

helps a bunch when you don't have time to dodge or have to go in

brisk trail
#

i bought the fish thing for a diamond

bold sluice
#

i mean, get an athena's keepsake to increase the chance of getting her boons

#

not literally fish

brisk trail
#

uhh

bold sluice
#

i guess, that goes for all the gods, if you're able to construct a build you'll have easier time

#

also, hermes' boon for bonus dashes helps a lot vs final boss spin

brisk trail
#

so i can get a weapon from different gods?

#

wait

#

what is the boon

bold sluice
#

gods can gift you keepsakes that basically force next boon you find to be from them

brisk trail
#

maybe i know it but i have the game in italian

bold sluice
#

i mean the bonuses that gods offer

brisk trail
#

oh

bold sluice
#

athena's active ability gives you invulnerability for a second of 2, which comes in handy

brisk trail
#

yeah ik athena's boons are rly usefull

latent light
#

her dash is so good

echo sluice
#

I still want a Transistor aspect for sword. Not sure what it would do, perhaps replace your call with a time stop

bold sluice
#

yea dash is good when clearing levels, call i find very useful against bosses

#

also, broken spearpoint and lucky tooth keepsakes help

brisk trail
#

but i just find the winter witch and other useless things

echo sluice
#

I prefer the bracers for defense

bold sluice
#

demeter is quite useful

#

slowing down the summoned monsters and kiting away with cast is one of the ways you can play

echo sluice
#

The slow seems pretty inconsistent in my experience. I wish it would show stacks

bold sluice
#

true

#

but at least it counts as status curse

raven spindle
#

yeah

#

its the easiest status for that extra damage imo

echo sluice
#

I once had the frost nova on cast with Aphrodite cast, it was amazing

#

Also I love the Dio and Demeter duo cast

brisk trail
#

im not uderstanding

#

what are the cast?

hoary sandal
#

right click

#

the red stones

brisk trail
#

oh

echo sluice
#

Red stabbey bois

brisk trail
#

i dont use them so much

hoary sandal
#

they are really god

#

use them

brisk trail
#

i always forgot

#

i keep spamming with speed attack

bold sluice
#

get the upgrade in the mirror so you have more charges for cast if you haven't yet

#

and get the upgrade that gives you bonus damage against enemies with 2 curses

brisk trail
#

get the upgrade in the mirror so you have more charges for cast if you haven't yet
@bold sluice alredy did that

hoary sandal
#

they give damage, bonus damage, and depending on your boons, they almost one shot some enemies

brisk trail
#

mines just do 50 or 80, i never find some good boons for it

hoary sandal
#

like they turn the game kind of easy thinking of it

#

i like zeus' boon for it perfect

#

bc i always end up in a group fight

bold sluice
#

dionysus cast with hera's bow aspect tho

hoary sandal
#

i never liked dionysus cast, so thats a big oof for me

bold sluice
#

i mean, on its own it is kinda clunky

#

when you load it into the bow tho, it's a different story

hoary sandal
#

ok that sounds really fun for my skelly boys down on Asphodel

#

i'll try it

bold sluice
#

it also explodes multiple times if you load up multiple casts

#

so breaks thru armor

winter cape
#

how do u guys play cast build?

bold sluice
#

i mean

#

get cast synergy aspect, find good cast and go win

winter cape
#

not enough dmg

bold sluice
#

press hard on artemis and demeter keepsakes for cast synergy and pray for hermes' reload and recall

hoary sandal
#

i always search for long range and quick damage, so Artemis and Zeus are my favorite boons

echo sluice
#

Ice Wine cast is residentzag

hoary sandal
#

but i LOVE Athena's deflect on anything also

bold sluice
#

athena is generally real good yea

winter cape
#

I wish fully loaded was more common

bold sluice
#

you gotta get another cast-based artemis boon for it to appear

winter cape
#

just had a perfect cast run with athena cast and fully loaded

#

Just spam all 8 of them and hades melted

#

hard to replicate though

hoary sandal
#

wait how did you get 8 casts

#

i forgot the boon

brisk trail
#

Fully Loaded, Chaos Grasp boons.

hoary sandal
#

oh yeah

#

Chaos is a really nice dude

winter cape
#

I bought 2 from shop and used the +8 encounter keep sake

#

fully loaded gives 3 too

brisk trail
#

Wait, bought two?

winter cape
#

yea

#

I switched to the +8 encounter keep sake before styx

#

then I got the shop during dungeon

#

I mean I saw the shop twice

#

so I bought the cast item twice

#

it lasted long enough till Hades

hoary sandal
#

ok that was a beast of a run then

#

8 Athena casts are just absurd

winter cape
#

yea it was so satisfying watching Hades killing himself

#

btw how do you skip hydra?

sleek obsidian
#

Skip?

brisk trail
#

Bless you Greg for using the phrase "go full Mass Effect."

quasi sleet
#

you can skip the second hydra head phase by nuking him to 0 hp right before it triggers

#

i've only done it with aphrodite wrath but I figure theres some meaty crits or something that can too

Hey everyone, I haven’t played in a very long time cause my computer seppukued itself a few months ago and I’ve seen mentions of things I didn’t get to discover yet in the recent Q&A: what are weapon aspects and legendary keepsakes?

shut plover
#

I'm having a difficult time getting billowing strength from Zeus, any tips?

wraith cipher
#

weapon aspects are variants you can get tthat change how the weapon plays
Sword has Nemessis Aspect with a chance to crit after using special and Poseidon Aspect that buffs cast damage and knocks bloodstoness out of enemies after being hit with speciall

#

||legendary keepsakes/companions/summons are giftss given by (atm) Than, Meg, Skelly, Sisiphus, and Dusa that can onllyy be used a limited amount of times per run|| spoilers

royal hamlet
#

Cool thanks!

#

Can’t wait to play again...

I thought this genre of game was over when Dead Cells was released. What could possibly live up to how good Dead Cells is? Well as it turns out, Hades doss. Absolutely superb gameplay and still lots more to come looking at roadmap. Very impressed. Looking forward to escaping again.

#

@shut plover the wiki contains the requirements necessary for different boons

#

can links be posted here?

#

From what i can see there's no requirement for that one, so it's pure rng i think

unique river
#

I found Hades a lot more enjoyable to play than Dead Cells. Dead Cells is still great but it's a lot more hardcore than Hades and Hades puts the choice of difficulty in your hands, which I think is great

#

5 boss cells in Dead Cells was an absolute nightmare

agile saddle
#

Dead cells was fun but once u unlocked all the items it got repetitive fast

#

Like cell 3+ became unfun difficulty

opaque nexus
#

Well the hardest possible difficulty in this game may not be possible lol

agile saddle
#

Just kinda silly

opaque nexus
#

We need someone dedicated to beating 49 heat

agile saddle
#

Like I love Dark Souls and Bloodborne but some games have unfun just plain stupid difficulty

stoic quail
#

Some people just love that kind of pain influcted upon them

vocal thorn
#

Dark Souls and Bloodbourne were super fair though, and no-hit playthroughs were possible. There wasn't any "cheap unavoidable damage" in the games; it mostly just punished button mashing

yo what's the chair the house contractor sells that hypnos can sit in i wanna buy him a chair

vale kite
#

Divine chaise

winter cape
#

I mean if you dodge everything, it's doable but its gonna take a long time

#

having random boon (-2 options) is a huge turn off though, I think it shouldn't be part of the difficulty

trim surge
#

well high pact makes the game frustrating as it removes a lot of options

#

increased difficulty is fine but as soon as you take away options whether it's -boon choice, more expensive shops or having to sell boons it takes away a good chunk of what makes roguelikes fun

#

Extreme measures on the other hand add content

winter cape
#

yea some of them need to be revised

#

I dislike the timer and removing boon options the most

#

timer is just dps test which you often lack at high heats

#

also doesn't make sense with how random styx is

#

removing boon options is literally anti-drafting

trim surge
#

timer is really random

#

thanny = dead run

calm laurel
#

heh, bc death

cloud belfry
#

looking through and i dont see it in my catalog. when do you unlock the chair?

#

Guys can I ask a story question?

#

Hey why is Demeter not appearing anywhere for me?

#

Do i have to do something to unlock her boons?

hexed smelt
#

you have to reach the final boss at least once

primal cypress
#

Thought so

#

Thanks

#

i want to offer some feedback but haven't done so before and i dunno if theres a reliable way to word things such that i can weed through old feedback to make sure im not duplicating stuff. is it ok if i end restating prior suggestions?

flat vapor
#

there’s been plenty and plenty of repeated suggestions, go for it

rare mirage
#

thanks!

flat vapor
#

just if you’ve seen any recent ones, go ahead and give them a thumbs up or down

rare mirage
#

right ill at least browse those

brisk trail
#

Hey there everyone I'm new to the server! How do I go about being able to post in the feedback channel? I have a topic I'd like to bring up.

timber quartz
#

The instructions to give feedback, that is

brisk trail
#

Thanks!

#

Guys, I'm struggling with the blade past 17 heat ever since the Divine Dash nerf. You guys got any builds to recommend?!?

sharp parcel
#

Nemesis, Aphro attack with Demeter special

torpid kindle
#

Bronze Skin - "Resist damage from foes' attacks"
Reduced Damage from Foes: +x%
Different League - "Resist some damage from nearby foes' attacks"
Reduced Damage from Foes: +x%

#

Is there any reason why these are worded differently?

rare mirage
#

i assume aphrodites only applies to melee range foes? but i dont actually know

torpid kindle
#

damage vs some damage

rare mirage
#

thats just how ive been trading them off

#

oh that part

torpid kindle
#

foes' vs nearby foes' makes sense

#

Epic Bronze Skin is 18%
Different League vanilla is 19%
Makes sense if one is Melee vs Non-Melee

#

damage vs some damage doesn't

plucky isle
#

ty for the advice

brisk trail
#

I don't want to spam the Feedback channel so I thought I'd post this here as well so a discussion can be had:

#

Pact of Punishment: Budget Cuts
I personally disagree with the design decision on this modifier, all of the others I'm fine with. I find it lacks QoL constantly having to reset your Darkness after you remove it, and I don't really like the whole "budgeting your Darkness" feel of it. Instead of giving you a budget, I think it should just make the effects of the mirror that you have active less useful by a percentage per Budget Cuts level, maybe 20% per point, with a maximum of 4 bringing it to 80% less mirror effectiveness. This would make things like Shadow Presence only give +10% backstab damage when at full rank. Obviously just throwing around numbers here, but I feel this would be a more QoL way of implementing this mod.

#

Would probably have the rename it if they did change it based on this feedback, but what are your thoughts?

plucky isle
#

I like that Idea

brisk trail
#

Thanks! It's not that I find the current Budget Cuts difficult, I just hate having to use it. Going back and forth between the mirror just feels awkward. I've just finished Heat 11 so it's not from a difficult aspect that I dislike it if that's anything to go off.

rare mirage
#

i upvoted it but really just some level of good qol improvement would be enough for me. if they wanted to drop it in favor of something else thatd also be fine

#

but yeah i agree with the sentiment that its the most unwieldy modifier to toggle on/off

brisk trail
#

I think the only other mod I dislike is "Underworld Customs", due to it kinda being anti-fun how it can rupture a vital synergy in your build. I'd be fine with it just reverting one of your boons to Common tier or something instead. I'd rather it made something much less powerful than take it away from me.

rare mirage
#

is that the forced purge one?

brisk trail
#

Yes

vast junco
#

i like how this idea keeps the same philosophy of forcing the player's boost/survivability from darkness to be less pronounced (which is definitely a heat modifier i believe will remain in the game through to v1.0), just in a less tedious manner

rare mirage
#

i actually use it baseline as my first few heat haha, as its not really a penalty given that you also get gold and usually have some boons you dont need/actually dont want influencing future god rng

#

but yeah

#

you can get bad rng with it where you get 3 vital components

brisk trail
#

Exactly @vast junco, I wanted to keep the feel of limiting the mirror but in a less awkward way for the player to constantly deal with.

rare mirage
#

its also more punishing specifically zone 1 than elsewhere

brisk trail
#

I had an interesting idea for a new modifier should they be open to suggestions of additional mods. Something along the lines of in a Trial of the Gods room you anger the god you don't pick and remove them from the pool entirely from the run.

#

Obviously you could ignore those rooms so maybe force the player through that room if/when it shows up due to the mod's effect?

rare mirage
#

i kind of feel like there should be a greater penalty baseline to those rooms so maybe just add that as is with some sort of additional benefit to help offset it is?

#

trial of the gods rooms are auto picks for me every time they come up

#

i never care about offending a god

#

maybe that changes in higher heat runs? (i only run around 5 at the moment)

brisk trail
#

Yeah they are kind of a no-brainer when they show up regardless of what build you are planning.

plucky isle
#

Never anger Athena while doing the deadline heat challenge. It soaks up way too much time if your build isnt strong atm.

brisk trail
#

This can be shortened to never anger Athena. Her revenge terrifies me with the constant deflects.

plucky isle
#

agreed

proud orbit
#

I don't like the Budget Cuts change idea, having to pick and choose what suits you better is more interesting gameplay to me

brisk trail
#

I mean at max rank you basically can't spend much anyway.

static wadi
#

witg ranged weapon Athena is not a big deal. Poseidon may be a real problem

vast junco
#

having to let a baby exalted respawn because it's immune via athena trial πŸ˜”

proud orbit
#

I can get max Privileged Status, 25 extra health, a death defiance, an extra cast and an extra dash

#

That's all I need

#

I like that more than a pointless 10 hp, pointless 10% damage buff, pointless 10% back stab damage

#

If you want a lot of useless bonuses you could always just turn on budget cuts and put a single point in almost everything

#

But there's a reason why that's a bad idea

brisk trail
#

I mean the idea was that it was for QoL more than anything.

proud orbit
#

QoL maybe since you wouldn't have to go back to the mirror to change

#

But it would make the condition even more difficult than it currently is

brisk trail
#

Yes, that was the point of the idea

proud orbit
#

Which people already complain about

brisk trail
#

Well like I said, the numbers can be tweaked. Maybe only 50% less effective at max rank.

#

The point was to make it so you didn't have to keep revisiting the mirror everytime you go between using Budget Cuts and not

north bane
#

If it's only qol, you could just have two separate darkness profiles

#

One restricted one not

#

So the player doesn't have to micro it every time

#

Or let them manage it right there if you choose to turn it on

#

Put a little hand mirror next to the gate lol

robust viper
#

is there any point in giving a character lots of nectar

#

like ive given hypnos at least 6 so far to see if what would happen

brisk trail
#

Yes it increases your relationship with them. Certain characters offer things back down the line.

#

at the moment, a few of them will reward you at the max level of their relationship

north bane
#

Gives you those warm fuzzy feeling inside

robust viper
#

so you get a second keepsake if you keep feeding them nectar?

brisk trail
#

Not exactly.

#

not exactly a keepsake but yeah, altho only for a select few characters

#

like, really, a minority of the characters

cyan umbra
#

Is it me, or is adamant rail really terrible now?

brisk trail
#

I agree, I find the Rail incredibly underwhelming. I don't think I've had a run this patch I had fun with it, nor did I feel powerful at any point.

cyan umbra
#

Removing it's stun leaves you open to enemy attacks so badly

brisk trail
#

I just feel that the damage is way too low per bullet at base.

azure moat
#

Quick question, do I lose the pierced butterfly's bonus once I take it off?

brisk trail
#

I believe so yes, but I may be wrong.

vocal thorn
#

yes

azure moat
#

So i have to decide between a possible attack buff at the end, or a bonus death defiance.

#

Same deal with Hermes' trinket, right?

brisk trail
#

Yeah

#

They're for picking at the start and holding 'til the end really

azure moat
#

so they can be very useful im assuming, if you can reliably go fast/not get hit

brisk trail
#

Yeah they're for snowballing. The better you do, the better you will do.

azure moat
#

im good, but I'm not THAT good. Yet

brisk trail
#

You will be. πŸ˜‰

azure moat
#

I checked the pool and it said I've done 50 runs. It feels like I've done SO many more.
