so anyone knows how to mod the game so that it can drop only 1 god's boon?

There's a Hades modding Discord server, I think I saw someone post about it in #self-promotion

thanks
flat vapor
the seed stays the same, but rewards will branch out if you go to different rooms
plus there's a lot of minor rng manipulation you could accidently do as well
@lusty stump
lusty stump
did try, but the run completely changed past the second chamber
should have kept the heat on 9
had a good set up of Poseidon cast, Zeus dash, Aphrodite special and Demeter damage boost if you don't have casts.

I have a question about stacking slows. I have Demeter’s Chill (slow up to 40%) + Killing Freeze (20% slow if all enemies are chilled) + Epic Numbing Sensation (enemies are 33% slower if they have hangover). Does that mean I can make them up to 93% slower or is there a cap?

Anybody has some Zagreus or Hades gif ?

Charon is actually willing to take Zagreus back to the surface but he doesn't because Zag doesn't stop mocking his manner of speaking?

Hello :3 is trading the Elyssian bottle thing for titan blood a good idea?
coral axle
you can buy titan blood from styx shop and you get 2 per heat
while you can't get ambrosia other than trading
mint marlin
and you will already be getting way more titan blood then ambrosia
coral axle
unless you're totally stocked up on ambrosia, i'd say no
and by then you usually should get enough of both already
fallow laurel
I see..
Are there uses for the ambroisa now?
Or it will be useful in future updates?
fallow laurel
Damn..

How to get the role of "Hades"?

Cool, thx : 3
tribal sapphire
@fallow laurel eventually you won't be able to do anything with Ambrosia in the current patch; and if you're upgrading all the weapons- you'll need way more Titan Blood than Ambrosia currently
but by continually playing higher heat runs, you'll get double the amount of Titan Blood than Ambrosia.
If you think you want the big guns first while you're waiting on fuller releases, I would say wait until you finish gifting Dusa stuff and then you're kinda free to trade in Ambrosia for Titan Blood as you see fit
oh, worth noting that you'll also get items that Ambrosia upgrades too though, so if you're trying to max THOSE out too; maybe chill out on trading Ambrosia there until you've got what you want upgraded
fallow laurel

I've talked to Meg, have him and bouldy at both max affection, but can't get any text about it from Hades or the thing to spawn from the contractor. Do I need to get specific lines from Sisyphus enough after talking to Meg about to get dialogue with Hades and then the contractor will have it, or did I somehow break something? ||

They should make it so that, if you buy the disco ball for the lounge, Theseus also gets one for his fight.
Just to make the third biome Disco Elysium.

Make Theseus to dab when he win and there will be the disco ball then xd 😂

So I had a couple questions about the pact since I just unlocked it. Whats the easiest start into it and if you go at it at ranks higher than you need, do the bounties below it stack?
oblique tulip
I personally did the damage increase. If you almost never take damage it's rarely an inconvenience
Besides on hydra D:<
opal mason
Oh no, I take lots of damage
jade grove
The bounties do not stack
vernal wagon
personally I take the boss one
opal mason
I needed all 4 dd's plus god mode to beat my first round
oblique tulip
Also they dont but you can go on lower heats to get those rewards if you want
jade grove
you're just abusing the heat gauge for no real reason
vernal wagon
cause if you take it at level 1, then really all it means is that the fury fight is a bit harder
but everything else is just like a standard run
jade grove
@oblique tulip "if you almost never take damage" heh nice joke :p
oblique tulip
If I'm going shield I never have to use dd
Provided I also have butterfly and a build that shreds mobs with little effort
To be fair though
I'm not high on heat
opal mason
I actually beat it with rail for my first time
oblique tulip
It might be way different later on~
jade grove
well, if you're good enough to use butterfly, your experience is completely unlike those of us who get shredded and come out of fights with <25% health
oblique tulip
I can stack butterfly relative consistently if I'm not doing a dash build or if I have deflect on bow b4 I get to hydra
jade grove
hell of a lot better player than me then, lul
oblique tulip
W/ dash builds I always mess up in asp because i briefly dash into the lava long enough to take one point of damage :/
jade grove
lul
oblique tulip
Tbf it's easier for me to use butterfly if I'm doing a special spear or special rail run
jade grove
me in Extreme Hydra: lose 80% of health to dashing into lava and dashing into heads

is it just me or is the fishing kinda hard? I've tried like 15 times but always messing it up
viral flicker
okay good to know
dang
they should make it a little bit easier in the next patch, it would be a more relaxing break during the attempts
oblique tulip
A little advice with that is that I found that most fish wont go for a bite on the first try
oblique tulip
Bites also have a slightly different animation where they make a splash
viral flicker
ohhh really
oblique tulip
Test bites (aka fool bites) just dip slightly
viral flicker
next time ill just watch for a long time haha
oblique tulip
A lot of it is reflexes tho
I feel like i have pgood reflexes just from playing stepmania
jade grove
I have pretty bad/inconsistent ones.
oblique tulip
This game is actually really forgiving in a way reflexes wise
Enter the gungeon is
Worse i wanna say
But it's not easy either
viral flicker
yeah I wasn't as much of a fan as enter the gungeon
oblique tulip
*Hades isnt easy
viral flicker
normally i hate these type of rogue like repeating games
jade grove
I mean... Gungeon is hard as nails, it's not exactly a fair comparison
Hades can be pretty tough.
viral flicker
but Hades actually has a good feeling of progression and great story in my opinion
oblique tulip
Yeah hades has more replayability compared to a lot of other roguelikes i've played
The best part is, is that it's solo oriented
knotty epoch
how many roguelites aren't solo oriented

there are a few

I just think it's a little weird to say when majority of them are

There isn't. But it seems like a good idea for a wiki page though.
silk warren
What's EA for if not for piling up work in one place 😋
tawny patio
I believe the devs sure has some kind of issue tracker. But most issue trackers are not designed to be viewed publicly. And it's a lot of work to maintain a separate issue tracker for the public
lusty stump
they probably have a database of every 
ever

Yea, i've sat at both ends of this table and since then i check if my issue has been reported, before submitting it myself, or not. But makes sense its not public too. Thanks
runic herald
Which bow aspect is better? Hera or chiron?
I play with hera mostly but I’m starting to find chiron a bit more fun
tawny patio
That's just, um, different play styles.
I don't like Hera's Aspect simply because I find it less reliable. Also you can shoot Bloodstones out of bound, which is not fun.
jade grove
What is the advantage of Hera, anyway?
tawny patio
Detonates Dionysus' cast ASAP without a bachelor's degree of ballistics
lusty stump
Hera also let's cast drop faster
lusty stump
with Hermes apsect usually you get always 5 sec or 3.5 sec
I think
that's my experience with Hera
jade grove
Huh
lusty stump
but really, if you want to do cast build, could just do Poseidon's aspect of sword.
jade grove
Don't they reduce it to the same value
lusty stump
Hera bow isn't much good to say Chiron
oblique tulip
hera is okay if you stack a bunch of artemis
but so does poseidon so your choice honestly
also, poseidon cast on hera too
deep pivot
Poseidon’s Aspect increases the damage of the cast so I prefer it more than Hera’s (besides the point of bloodstones being out of bounds with Hera)
jade grove
Yeah, I'm struggling to see the main advantage of Hera, other than being a bit easier to hit Dio shots with
Because what it does is basically identical to a Hermes boon.
lusty stump
it's really just a free Hermes boon, which you would have gotten anyway tbh
oblique tulip
they could make it so your casts apply on each arrow for attack or special
with diminishing returns when a target gets hit by multiple
lusty stump
thing is, compare it to say Poseidon's sword, the later is more likely to actually do something with the cast
tawny patio
It should also work well with Aphrodite's / Ares' cast, making it work at a longer range.
lusty stump
and it's less relied on the boons you get, since if you don't get right boons with hera, the run is kind of ruined
tawny patio
Yeah. Hope it gets fixed with the next patch
lusty stump
Asphodel is just hell for cast builds.
lusty stump
if hera had a quick return to casts then yeah it can work as good as Poseidon sword, since it covers the "returning cast back" aspect that makes cast build so great.
oblique tulip
it'd have to have it with the reduced drop timer though for it to viable
deep pivot
If Hera recalled Casts quicker, it would be so much better + it would fix the out of bounds problem
Like a mini Hermes legendary haha
Like “Cast drop & recall timer: 5 seconds”
jade grove
Yeah, agreed
deep pivot
At rank 5
jade grove
That would solidify its niche
tawny patio
On a different topic: seeing that many questions of "how to fish", I just put all the info I gathered from various sources on the wiki: https://hades.gamepedia.com/Fishing
Hope this could be helpful.
deep pivot
Cheers! 😊
I need to catch 2 of Chaos’ fishies to get them all but 2% chance to the random Chaos gate chance (and another small % for the legendary) is just too low 
Someday, maybe~
tawny patio
Also, with the 10-rooms-between-fishing-spot condition, it's harder to find fishing spot in Chaos room among Tartarus while Tartarus has the highest chance to spawn its own fishing spot.
deep pivot
So the best bet would be to find Chaos gates on Asphodel or Elysium and cross fingers
I find it amusing that the legendary Chaos fish gives Ambrosia instead of Blood. I thought Blood would be more valuable but, then again, you only get 1 Ambrosia per bounty-run
tawny patio
As many as you can give out.

As a Hera bow one trick, trying out Guan yu is so funny
One shotting everything whilstbhealing all my hp back
Tbf I did have Artemis attack and dash with heart rend , clean kill and double status effects on
narrow inlet
how is Guan Yu's special different from the normal spear special? Is there a difference other than the lack of press-special-to-return? Description says "explosive" special but I'm not sure what that translates to
Seems to be a wider hitbox as well, unless I'm imagining things
patent umbra
Its a large wave of damage
deep pivot
And fireworks 💥
narrow inlet
as in, it does more damage as well? or more ticks of damage on a target?
yeah the sound effect is pleasing
agile saddle
ok i am super over the last boss skull spamming. just had one where they threw 7 at once. like one after the other
flat vapor
it does damage over the flight path
in an area, for a pretty high amount too
it's basically a long cylinder of damage that can get crazy high with the right upgrades
narrow inlet
how does "over the flight path" differ from normal? doesn't the spear always deal damage all along the throw path?
it doesn't seem like a hitscan-type ability, if that's what you mean
Agh. I should have expected that Charged Skewer would be the same as the charged special volley for the bow. The gimped range without charge would be less bad if it were indicated properly in-game.
flat vapor
the main draw is that it's in an area for high damage
imagine explosive launcher except the aoe damage happens along the whole path rather than just at the end
regular spear special does damage on the flight path, but only along the spear (i.e. very narrow) and easy to miss, for less damage as well
you can throw guan yu between two enemies and still hit them both for 75 dmg
narrow inlet
ah - so it's higher damage along with higher range. got it, thanks!
narrow inlet
Yeah, should have said wider range. Got it, thanks 🙂
flat vapor
👍
narrow inlet
so uh... this guan yu build turned into a cast build accidentally
3 legendaries, 2 duos... 60% cast speed with 6 ice wine'd heavily bursty casts, along with a charged skewer high level aphro special. dash and attack stacked chill further, which burst for decent damage as well. this was madness
also, just realized that half of my 26 clears have been a part of this 13 win streak. things have been so, so much smoother after switching to controller for me

Also, controller is better for melee, but KBM is far superior for rail...
Because you can strafe and aim your bombs
narrow inlet
I’ve found controller far better for both melee and non-rail ranged (for me).
Rail I don’t feel as good with... so I just force attack or rocket builds on it instead to keep playing on the controller lol
jade grove
Yeah agreed, but I will switch for rail because I love it
novel wasp
i love keyboard mouse tho
agile saddle
I use controller
sleek juniper
Controller; it's much better to move around and much better to dodge. But for attacking; MK is superior. That's my experience so far. I played controller 2 hours and MK for 100 hours.
vocal thorn
I’m ok with using a controller with the rail, because if something is moving around so much that it’s difficult to aim the special with the controller, then it’s probably moving so much that it won’t get hit by the special regardless of it’s aimed well
primal whale
Yeah I feel like the decision between MK and controller is pretty dependent on whether you want to play offensively or defensively. I prefer the controller because I feel like dodging damage is more important than the extra precision.
In fact I encourage everyone to give both a shot and see what works best. You may find that one is a lot better for you than the other and things will become easier
stable forge
lol the game just crashed
desert nebula
When I use Athena's dash boon and her Combo Boon with Ares, I somehow fail to trigger Doom by dashing through foes. Is this by design, am I missing something?
jade grove
I feel like the Rail benefits more from MK depending on which aspect and hammers you use.
Namely: If you use Eris, the one target you should always aim to hit first is yourself, and Controller cannot do that easily due to autotarget.
Hestia needs it less because auto targeting is beneficial for the railgun.
Meanwhile, Cluster Bomb is massively superior on KBM, because you have effortless switching between carpet bombing and saturated bombardment (the latter being also in front of your face).
Also unique to rail is the ability to strafe fire with the primary attack, so KBM wins even defensively.
I personally struggle with melee weapons on keyboard though, and bow doesn't really have any handling traits I would prefer it for.
brisk trail
I tried playing this game with controller and I felt it was uncomfortable for me. I've always played this game with just keyboard and find it quite easy.
vocal thorn
On high heat, I don’t think the keyboard would help me with the default special. I can’t imagine being able to target myself with the special, and then continue standing there until after the special lands. It sounds very unsafe, and I’d probably get whacked by enemy attacks if I was standing still for that long. It would be much better for me to just press the special button, and then dash under the targeted circle right before it lands.
jade grove
I mean... that's also easier to do with keyboard, I figure, because on controller you can only target the things that are trying to kill you unless you hide.

high coral
What do people think the next weapon will be?
Have there been hints I've missed?
plush dagger
no hints, the only thing we know is the release date
high coral
Any guesses or wishes?
plush dagger
the most popular are a ranged weapon like a crossbow or throwing knives, a fast-paced melee weapon like fists or daggers, or a slow weapon with superarmor/slight invulnerability like hammer or scythe
high coral
A staff would be cool
proud orbit
But that's unsubstantiated
I can't think of anything distinct to what we have already ranged aside from that
Probably a charge weapon
Laser attack, charged blast for special
high coral
A staff could have so many cool possibilities. But as keeper said, a fast pace weapon would be awesome as well
proud orbit
But it almost ends up just being another version of the rail like that
high coral
True
proud orbit
I'm too creatively bankrupt to think of anything unique lol
high coral
Maybe a club or something. Plenty of characters have wielded some variety of blunt weapon
But it could end up too close to the sword
plush dagger
I mean they can work around that, currently the game doesn't have anything similar to superarmor/invulnerability, and since the game only gets faster and faster, superarmor is probably a good way to make a slow weapon work
high coral
A weapon where each hit is a commitment does sound interesting
Big swings, could have stun on the special.
Though, after talking with you lot, I kinda like the concept of a magic staff more 🙂
plush dagger
I mean it doesn't have to be a staff to be magic
proud orbit
Relying on super armor is gonna be bad for any heat above like 5
High commitment attacks are in the game already actually
Spear spin attack and it sucks because it requires such a commitment
plush dagger
people make Guan Yu aspect work on 32 heat, and its charge ability doesn't even have any sort of invulnerability
proud orbit
That's because it heals you
Also because its ranged, and you can fire it through walls
plush dagger
think about sword special
it goes through even if you get it, but instead of losing half your hp you'd be fine
brisk trail
What about a magic Trident like Poseidon one ?
plush dagger
I don't think it's a bad idea
proud orbit
What about sword special?
It can be cancelled by enemy damage
And it is also not very good because of it
plush dagger
only at the start of it afaik
proud orbit
Partway through as well, becusee there's also a point where you can accidentally cancel it yourself which is annoying for dash spammers like me
plush dagger
instead of being a 'magic staff' it could also be just Zagreus' inherent god abilities
plush dagger
that's one way to make it fit in the story
proud orbit
Or a blood based weapon
plush dagger
you can cancel special with dash? I thought it only made you use your special as soon as you stop dashing
at least that's what I get when I use special+dash
proud orbit
Maybe it was basic attack then
I don't play sword much but I'm pretty sure it's cancellable in some way
plush dagger
I see
I'm trying to imagine how a magic/god powers weapon would work but I can't think of anything that hasn't been done already
proud orbit
I was thinking a charged ball which can be charged while moving
plush dagger
The special should definitely be his ''Call'' for example, but what would it be? Zagreus is supposedly ||The God of Blood/Life|| , but I don't think it can be something directly related to his HP
What would Zagreus' Call be like?
what if his special didn't directly do damage, but instead binds 2 or more enemies, so if one of them is hit, the rest of them take a percentage of that damage
that'd be new... I think?
karmic oasis
I think a callback to Bastion's Bellows would be fun. A short range ranged weapon. We pretty much have everything else from that game. It would also match Zag's fiery disposition.
I have 0 idea how it would work in actuality though lol
jade grove
@proud orbit A staff would be very very easy to make unique. Splitting projectiles, which is actually what happens with staves in game.
proud orbit
Like the elysium ones yeah
jade grove
Actually @karmic oasis that's a great idea as well.
Bellows? Easy aspect - Hephaestus
Another one: Aeolus or something
Aspect of Aeolus, allows you to blow enemies around and deflect projectiles... Hephaestus, something to do with molten metal, acts like those fireballs maybe.
sharp parcel
brisk trail
Is the version number in any way indicative of the amount of content that is intended to be in the release version?
tawny patio
If I have to guess, the now-five-digit version number is just the number of SVN commits.
karmic oasis
I imagine the bellows to have a shorter range than the rail gun yes.
rail gun hammer that makes it shorter*
the base attack would be easy (stream of fire in the direction you are facing), with maybe an ammo limit, maybe it slows your walk so you can keep pressure on (unlike rail). Maybe the damage increases the longer the attack is held, but reload from zero takes longer. Honestly, I am not sure what I would do with special, because the bow and sword have a nova-ish effect already, rail has the bomb. Maybe a straight forward fireball like projectile that penetrates? But then again that's too similar to a large degree of casts. Thats where my imagination ends. I just imagine burninating through Tartarus and my mind stops worrying about stuff like "how will this actually work" after that.
@jade grove Actually your Aspect of Aeolus would be a cool special move for it, another defensive weapon to go with the shield on top of being a "ranged" weapon. A bit more twitchy than the static defense of the shield.
jade grove
Spin special
karmic oasis
Oooh, or it could plant napalm mines
though that would also be a cool aspect change
jade grove
Aeolus aspect: Changes it to a force blast of wind

this run is really only great for crowd control, but not bosses
deep pivot
RIP
When Artemis and Ares give you boons but Ares doesn’t want to give you his cast
Worse, when he does give you his cast but they keep trolling you into not giving you Hunting Blades
lusty stump
I really want to get hunting blades, really only thing that I haven't gotten yet for duo boons
jade grove
I mean, I got it, but Hunting Blades spawned in Styx and made the Theseus fight miserable
Hunting Blades is just such a pain to get, because if you're not lucky and only have slicing shot to rely on, your run is boned
I figure at this point, start with Artemis instead of Ares.
Because at least if you get a crit attack or special and nothing else, you're not helplessly relying on just slicing shot for a biome
lusty stump
you have to have Artemis for something except the cast and ares for cast, right?
jade grove
Yes
I did Ares start, had only bloody Slicing Shot for all of Tartarus and half of Asphodel.
Never again.
lusty stump
what I learnt is that once you have picked your Ares position be it blades or doom, the second won't show up or at least if it does it's very unlikely.
jade grove
Yeah, I noticed...
lusty stump
also about to throw the run (hopefully) at the final boss, I am not going to stand around, but I will hope this ends sooner or later, because this amount of damage pains me.
jade grove
therefore, start with artemis, don't cripple your starting
lusty stump
I swear if I somehow win this, I don't know anymore
deep pivot
@lusty stump I recommend you get Slicing Shot + Artemis’ dash or Call (and fill your attack, special with other gods’ boons)
With that, Artemis won’t be offering you her other boons that need progression
jade grove
Oh, that's a good idea
Does Poseidon sword buff the blade cast @deep pivot
Or does it only work on embeds?
deep pivot
It should empower the ticks
jade grove
So you just slam special and get shreddier blades?
Neat
I'd say that works
Also Eris rail with shotgun dio attack
or shotgun demeter, actually, with cryoblasting
shotgun demeter would benefit from the +damage stack on arty dash by a lot
deep pivot
Oh, the special just dislodges the cast. When you cast the shot, the shots damage already have the damage bonus
No need to Special prior to casting
deep pivot
Yeah
jade grove
no wonder people like it
deep pivot
Yeah. Poseidon aspect is my go to for Cast builds
lusty stump
quick question.
Is titan's blood okay to trade for 250 gemstones?
because so far I have stuff I wanted upgraded already on that line, just wondering.
jade grove
Hm?
deep pivot
Remember that there are still future aspects to be unveiled so you might want to have a good supple of bloods just in case
lusty stump
okay time to roll back then
coral axle
trading anything for gems is a big meme imo
jade grove
keep in mind you'd need 31 blood for the new weapon at LEAST
36 if the zag is actually good
coral axle
if you do all gem troves you'll eventually wind up with a crap ton of gems
jade grove
and then another 15 for whatever new aspect debuts
coral axle
and it's pretty easy to get gems now with fishing

Thank goodness they put fishing rewards
deep pivot
I dont remember who mentioned it but combining Sunken Treasure and his other loot boon together into 1 boon would be much better
coral axle
it's pretty easy to farm gems now so personally i wouldn't trade away titan blood for gems
i also do all gem troves
deep pivot
Besides, Blood serves a more practical use while gems are merely for esthetics
jade grove
Sunken Treasure and that together would be a little nuts, tbh. You'd guarantee the boosted lootsplosion on that same pull
coral axle
you don't boost the lootsplosion
jade grove
that said, if you're farming, you can take sunken multiple times if it shows up afaik
coral axle
it's only room rewards
lusty stump
man imagine if there was a boon that would double the effect of all other boons
coral axle
the splosion is kinda crap as well unless you have a lot of darkness boosting boons
jade grove
deep pivot
I only take that loot boon when other Poseidon options are uuuh
coral axle
well i'll take sunken treasure over wave pounding anyday
lusty stump
Is Dio's special on chaos shield meh?
coral axle
pretty strong
lusty stump
okay tried it out
my expectations were quite low considering I didn't count how many times special hits the enemy with doom on top of it.
coral axle
eh, i personally always use the same few builds for high heat
it's pretty much necessary because most other combos are just not that good
broken dragon
What amount of heat is considered high? I am new to the game.
jade grove
20/32
broken dragon
Oh, wow. I am just getting to 5 heat. That is a ways off.
coral axle
personally i'd say anything from 15-20+ can be considered high in general
broken dragon
Good to know. Thanks.

do you know when the teaser trailer usually comes out?
lusty stump
quick question. Is Demeter wrath worse than Artemis's wrath?
loud spire
I like it, it's got a huge AoE
lusty stump
as in the god's trial room
loud spire
@analog elbow I'm just sitting here like, "... y'all got any more of that [HADES UPDATE INFORMATION] ?"
analog elbow
hahaha oh yea
loud spire
ohhh I see, nevermind then :-p
if you're using a melee weapon, demeter often ruins my life, and the reverse is true with ranged weapons for artemis
loud spire
demeter's wrath puts those vortexes underneath enemies so it's hard to get in range of them with the sword without taking a ton of damage. and IIRC artemis has those fast moving circles that basically track you, so standing still at a distance with the bow is tough
jade grove
Oh, wrath, right
lusty stump
okay demeter wasn't that bad as I expected and thankfully reacted in time.
also thanks for the recommendations on Artemis/Ares build! Haven't gotten hunting blades yet but I got combination of Ravenous Will, Quick Reload, Slicing Shot, Fully Loaded and Black Metal.
and Snow Burst.
and dual shot

Nice.

well dang 1st time i cleared with dd's left and not just 1 but 2/3 , didnt lose one on final boss
lusty stump
Yeet indeed.
deep pivot
I just had an idea for a Dionysus + Artemis duo boon. Since Dionysus is about being drunk and Artemis about precision and criticals, their Duo boon would be Drunken Aim: “Everytime any attack fails to crit (if it has a critical chance), raise it’s crit chance by 1%. Stacks are lost once a critical hits.”
It would be funny 😆
deep pivot
Woo! You did it! 🎉
latent gulch
oh dang I've just passed 50 myself.
Does anyone have any tips for filling out boons for certain gods? I got most of them through natural gameplay. But I can't seem to get some final ones for Zeus, Athena, Artemis and Dionysus.
I've even looked up which boons I need to get to the ones I'm still missing. And I just never seem to get enough boons offered from the one god I'm going for to get to the ones I'm missing.

latent gulch
Thank you very much.
However I've already found some of these charts on the wikia? I looked up how to get them.
I just never seem to actually encounter that particular god often enough. Or they don't offer me the boons.
And I've tried at least ten separate runs now? I've lost count.
serene yarrow
I encountered a bug the other day, and took a screenshot, but didn't realize there was a bug report in game. Is there a way to use an old screenshot for the bug report instead of it taking a new one?

One of these runs I'll get it.

Do revenge boons work if you're invincible?

Does the Eris aspect buff refresh if you get hit with the blast while already buffed? Or does it have to run out first?
vagrant flint
It refreshes.
radiant tangle
It refreshes
I think Raging Rush is the only kind of buff like that which doesn't refresh
vagrant flint
It doesn't?
analog elbow
@jade grove there is some incentive to kill enemies in challenge rooms as they have a chance to drop gold. I always go for them.
jade grove
not enough, imo
analog elbow
but enough to matter, for me every bit helps cause there are times when i'm 5obols short
i used to destroy the pillars before hand as well for a bit of gold lol
maybe it'd be cooler if enemies became stronger the more the timer was closer to running out
jade grove
eh, that'd just make you run away harder
jade grove
no, I want a real reason to fight
jade grove
not just a random chance of "how good is this room for cheesing them"
well the game's atmosphere suggests you should fight back
the game mechanics do nothing to make you
or if you do, you get nothing from it
analog elbow
eh.. true
i mean the same could be said for than
you can easily get overrun in some of the rooms
for a centaur heart
jade grove
it's something
and if you get a huge lead you can piss off and wait
at the bare minimum it's a symbolic something
humble pulsar
i feel the gold offered is honestly reason enough, making the rooms more difficult would actually just discourage me from attacking the enemies, cause rooms have a "maximum amount" of enemies that can appear in them, or at least they appear to, and that's usually not hard to dodge.
But since a theoretically infinite number of enemies spawn within the time, killing as many as possible means I can earn lots of obols and still buy something in Tartarus without necessarily needing an obol room.
jade grove
I didn't suggest making them harder...
I suggested making it a bit better to kill them, rather than just the RNG chance of obols
deep pivot
Pear just read my mind. I love to shop and killing enemies for extra obol is a bit of an incentive (unless I’m not liking my current build, then I just wait lol)

I was wondering, what's the extent of the Demeter dialogue? I got to when she talks about Kore, but then it stopped. Is there just nothing else for now?

Is there a reason why Piercing Wave (from sword) doesn't apply on-hit effects? Would that be too broken? I've never done a good run around piercing wave unfortunately
serene yarrow
Has anyone ever had a run where they got 5 Death Defiance from 5 different sources at once?
brisk trail
Only seen a screenshot of it.
serene yarrow
I don't know why, but I'm trying to do that.
narrow inlet
wellp. set up a heat/keepsake build for poseidon sword, accidentally picked the rail.
serene yarrow
If you quit in the middle of a run, does Steam not sync it?
narrow inlet
it already saved my progress unfortunately
I also picked artemis attack, which may not be ideal on rail. RIP
ah well, let's see how I can make this work
as for 5 DDs - someone mentioned getting 6 DDs
merry harbor
If you take damage in a room and select Give Up, it puts you back at the House and keeps the starting room layouts, so if you wanted to, you could go back and try with sword.
narrow inlet
I think I'd lose my ~15 win streak though, which I'd be sad about
merry harbor
Nope!
narrow inlet
wait, what? really?
merry harbor
Yeah, Idunno why? But it doesn't.
narrow inlet
is "give up" an option on the pause screen? I've never seen it
serene yarrow
I was asking about Steam syncing because I'd quit in the middle of a run, and if I changed computers, I can't resume that run from there.
merry harbor
Found out on accident when I forgot to switch back to butterfly once and it just. stayed
It only shows mid encounter if you've taken damage that room. After completing it it goes away, but that's easily solved by going next room and eating a hit.
serene yarrow
But I can resume the run if I don't swap computers.
merry harbor
It's actually surprising it DOESN'T take off the win streak, but I don't like to use that to keep them. feels kinda cheap, y'know
narrow inlet
well would ya look at that! thanks 🙂
yeah, I feel like it should disrupt the win streak
this means you can reroll that first boon until you get something you want from a keepsake god, maybe? or is that seeded?
serene yarrow
I think it's always the same boons. But you could reroll for different Chaos boons
narrow inlet
ah, definitely the same boons, yeah
attack/special/dashstrike from artemis in a cast build
merry harbor
Seeds change by changing uh, god keepsakes, leaving the room, and coming back in then switching back, but I never looked into seeding too hard?
A speedrunner would be better about that.
But if you don't do that the seed stays the same.
narrow inlet
I got that on my first run with rail, second run was sword with wrong keepsake (when I gave up it switched it), third run with correct sword and keepsake gave same options as the first run
all three options are epic. but I want none of them!
attack is the least problematic, I guess
serene yarrow
This game is addicting. I got it exactly 1 month ago, and already put in 105 hours.
humble pulsar
kinda wish EGS put how much time you've played a game like Steam does but given runs take about 20-40 minutes and I've done likely around 200 of them (some of them I've done on saves which weren't "permanent" so I don't have access to them) I'd say I've probably put close to 100 hours in this game.
but granted that's been over a year
narrow inlet
I keep my game on overnight in the background, so my "time played" is all off
proud orbit
EGS does have time played tho iirc
humble pulsar
does it? I'm just blind and missed it then
it didn't when I first bought the game and in all fairness I didn't really bother to look for it cause I didn't really care lol
narrow inlet
does anyone know how long Chill lasts? can't sem to find the info on the wiki
nevermind, found it
chill seems to last so much longer than the other status curses. interesting
proud orbit
Probably cause it needs to be stacked a lot
narrow inlet
I thought its duration refreshed as you stacked it
rather, I assumed it and hangover operated that way
ah, they're probably separate stack durations now that I think about it
delicate arrow
I thought its duration refreshed as you stacked it
@narrow inlet that's not how it works?!
narrow inlet
yeah, I corrected myself two sentences later lol. thanks
delicate arrow
No as in
narrow inlet
oh I misunderstood
delicate arrow
I also thought that's how it works
narrow inlet
I honestly am not sure
delicate arrow
Thinking about it, doom doesn't work that way
narrow inlet
I'll test next time I have hangover, but someone else will probably swoop in and answer
well, doom is not a stackable debuff, though
narrow inlet
sorta. it means extra hits makes a doom stack more potent, but it doesn't add extra stacks
delicate arrow
To be honest, I have noticed Dio stacks go down one by one, rather than all at once
narrow inlet
yeah that's the thought that makes me think they're on separate timers
delicate arrow
Makes no difference if theyre a seperate timer or if it's the same, but constantly refreshed
Does it not?
narrow inlet
aaagh. 50% gold chaos boon is great! an extra DD is also great! 35% cast damage on a cast build... also great! I want all three of these!
narrow inlet
ah, when I say separate timer, I mean that each debuff is independent and does not refresh
yeah I went for the DD in the end
delicate arrow
What build are you running?
narrow inlet
poseidon sword + artemis cast
serene yarrow
Is there any certain prerequisite for Aphrodite Legendary? or just any of her Weak boons?
narrow inlet
...I had not realized I was so close to a boss room. the drawback was getting hurt whenever I used special. this is going to be interesting...
delicate arrow
Oh lord
@serene yarrow no prerequisites, but god gauge doesn't apply with it
Naturally
1 tier 1 that's not god gauge + 1 tier 2 boon
serene yarrow
I'm doing some runs specifically to finish the fated list, and missing her legendary and one Artemis boon somehow.
delicate arrow
Go Artemis Aphrodite
serene yarrow
Missing Hunter Instinct from Artemis. Does that need her Call or any Call?
narrow inlet
agh. I leaned into healing/health at the shop to survive this special-less hydra fight. that was touch and go
serene yarrow
God Gauge charges faster from cits.
serene yarrow
Any call? or hers specifically?
delicate arrow
Any
serene yarrow
Alright haha
I have probably seen this boon many times but never bothered taking it
delicate arrow
It's too trash
I only take it when my options are her cast, her god gauge or that
Cos I usually run hunting blades
serene yarrow
Yeah, I did a bunch of that build.
desert nebula
Lol, I usually avoid Ares' boons.
delicate arrow
Hera bow hunting blades too op
serene yarrow
I hate when I get every piece except the Duo.
delicate arrow
@desert nebula all his tier 1 boons are great though
serene yarrow
Like both legendary + Hermes too
delicate arrow
I'd argue only urge to kill is bad
desert nebula
I think otherwise tbh. Or I'm just bad with them.
serene yarrow
But then no Hunting Blades lol
delicate arrow
@serene yarrow I feel you
@desert nebula ever tried slicing shot with Artemis attack ?
desert nebula
The cast?
delicate arrow
Build around your slicing shot and hope for hunting blades with whirling vortex, vicious cycle, black metal , dual shot , fully loaded
The cast?
@desert nebula yes
Build around your slicing shot and hope for hunting blades with whirling vortex, vicious cycle, black metal , dual shot , fully loaded
And watch everything melt
desert nebula
No, I find Ares' cast the worst of it all tbh. I prefer Poseidon's or Bacchus'.
desert nebula
Yes.
desert nebula
It is fun, especially with Demeter's and Zeus' combo.
delicate arrow
And I only take Poseidon cast if I got myself stuck in an Artemis Aphrodite build with Aphrodite on special
narrow inlet
some casts are solid standalone (I really like poseidon if my build is single target focused)
serene yarrow
I've never actually used the Hera Bow. lol
serene yarrow
I'm focusing on maxing Aspects before even trying them.
delicate arrow
I'm telling you, a cast build around hunting blades one shots Hades in 4 Hera bow rotations
desert nebula
Try them first. I maxed Guan Yu just to discover that I still suck with it.
delicate arrow
I've never actually used the Hera Bow. lol
I pretty much only play Hera bow. Have been trying out Guan yu because I'm stuck on 11 heat
delicate arrow
Speaking of which , how do you get 4th bow aspect?
serene yarrow
Is there a 4th?
desert nebula
Is there even any so far?
delicate arrow
:((((
desert nebula
Just be patient.
delicate arrow
Oh well I'll probably stick to Hera bow anyways :)
But Chiron bow seems quite broken tbf
everything is broken with Artemis thinking about it
serene yarrow
Does anyone else thing Spread Fire is kinda broken?
delicate arrow
Does anyone else thing Spread Fire is kinda broken?
What is spread fire
desert nebula
Does Demeter's Ravenous Will affect Cast damage in a fully loaded Hera Aspect Bow?
delicate arrow
Does Demeter's Ravenous Will affect Cast damage in a fully loaded Hera Aspect Bow?
Yes
serene yarrow
It makes the Rail shoot 5 short range shots
desert nebula
Oh, that's neat.
delicate arrow
It affects both the first attack and cast damage
serene yarrow
But it makes it fire slower
serene yarrow
But if you dash, it still does 2 shots really fast
So you can just dash back and forth killing everything
basically a dash = 10 hits against an enemy
narrow inlet
zeus attack doesn't trigger 5 times on spread fire, does it?
delicate arrow
It should
serene yarrow
I don't think it does.
I usually go for things that increase base damage or Artemis for crits
I had a build once that somehow was getting crits near 100% of the time.
delicate arrow
Hunters mark
serene yarrow
yeah
delicate arrow
That's a 70% crit + 25% crit
serene yarrow
It was with triple special + rockets on the rail too
delicate arrow
Yeah so guaranteed grits
serene yarrow
And this was in a run with No Choice and Tight Deadline so
delicate arrow
Crits
serene yarrow
I don't even know how I got that build in that setup haha
I'll probably max Hera Bow next.
My favorite weapons have been the Rail and Shield so far.
narrow inlet
I really like hera bow. but it's not something I prioritized maxing, personally
serene yarrow
I just have Nemesis, Hera, Hades, and Achilles left.
narrow inlet
poseidon sword and hera bow work quite well at lv1. while things like chaos shield and chiron bow really need levels to work well
guan yu needed levels before I could pilot it reasonably, but that's because I'm trash
on the other hand, I'm finding that I really like poseidon sword, so I'm pouring bloods into it before it's "ideal" from a progression standpoint, just because I know I'll run it a lot
serene yarrow
One interesting thing with Guan Yu not being maxed yet, is if you are going for Fated List for using all keepsakes
I setup the mirror, used Guan Yu, and added extra damage with the pact so I'd die in one hit
and started a run with each keepsake that way
delicate arrow
Wtf
serene yarrow
Might take 2 hits to die if Guan Yu is maxed. haha
delicate arrow
Imagine having a winstreak
serene yarrow
But still very fast method
I did this outside of a winstreak haha
My highest winstreak is just 7
I think it was probably 7 in a row with the rail going up in heat each time, then I swapped to the Spear and died.
delicate arrow
Mood
Got 1-8 heat in winstreak with bow
Then got to 10 heat , swapped to spear and died
serene yarrow
Spear is my worst weapon by far.
delicate arrow
Mine is shield
delicate arrow
Actually, sword would be my worst
Cos I never tried shield
But sword I just suck at
narrow inlet
Poseidon blade
Guan Yu spear
Chaos shield
Chiron bow (I love hera, but the out of bounds cast issues are a dampener)
Hestia rail I guess
normal sword I cannot play. poseidon blade I sure can
serene yarrow
Idk which Rail I like the best
delicate arrow
What does Poseidon blade do?
serene yarrow
Extra cast damage
narrow inlet
when you use your special, dislodge casts stuck in an enemy
well, extra cast damage too, sure, but that's not the main benefit at all
delicate arrow
Oh ok
serene yarrow
That too, but I always use it with Hunting Blades. haha
narrow inlet
it works in a cast build
serene yarrow
So the cast doesn't get stuck in enemies in that build.
narrow inlet
achilles spear would be great with hunting blades, I would think
delicate arrow
Hera bow
narrow inlet
the buff is a bit more unwieldy, but way way higher
hera bow would be fine too, but the more it's maxed the more the benefit is wasted
doesn't mean its bad
delicate arrow
Hera bow is by far best for hunting blades
Yeah , naturally
In my eyes, Ares arte and Arte aphro Ares are the two best set ups for Hera bow
serene yarrow
I really love how everything works with regards to the pact / weapons / rewards.
Because you get more rewards with each weapon, and if you don't like the weapon that much, maybe a different Aspect works for you
narrow inlet
what does aphro add? a status curse?
I really need to try more hera bow builds. I want to try dio with hera bow
narrow inlet
hoe does heart rend help? I didn't think ares cast would crit often enough for it to matter
delicate arrow
Much better casts for hera bow
serene yarrow
@delicate arrow You haven't played with the Shield at all?
narrow inlet
like what? I thought the fog at range would be fun
delicate arrow
@narrow inlet no, when you run Ares aphro Artemis, you go aphrodite cast with Ares attack and Artemis special
Or ares special and Artemis attack
@serene yarrow nope, never
@narrow inlet you can cast fog at range just the same
serene yarrow
You know if you beat the game with each, you can get 10 Titan Blood from the Fated List
delicate arrow
Or to spread doom
narrow inlet
I've just never used special as a main direct damage dealer (artemis) on a non-chiron build
fog can be cast at range, but I play on controller and it's a bit unwieldy (like rail special). that's most of the appeal lol
serene yarrow
I've never managed to use special for main damage with Sword / Spear
delicate arrow
So that when you'll get Ares aphro as duo and heart rend , you'll deal the heart render crit immediately, then you special for consistent doom stacks
serene yarrow
But it's great with the other 3
delicate arrow
fog can be cast at range, but I play on controller and it's a bit unwieldy (like rail special). that's most of the appeal lol
So do I, doesn't it auto aim?
narrow inlet
it does, but it doesn't always aim at the target I want it to
also sometimes I just want to drop it near me for the damage reduction/bonus/area control/etc
delicate arrow
With Hera bow you can't drop it near you
narrow inlet
interesting. these are all hera builds I haven't thought of
yeah, was just listing an annoyance with controller
delicate arrow
I've tried everything with Hera haha
narrow inlet
wait I thought you could by not charging the arrow much?
ares cast on hera bow felt like it worked like that
delicate arrow
Bow starting distance to actually fire is quarter distance
narrow inlet
it would have some minimum distance, sure, but still way closer than auto aim would allow
delicate arrow
Not on you directly
But yeah I guess
But then again
What would you rather take, building something around that or building something around hunting blades?
narrow inlet
hunting blades for sure
I wasn't listing things that I think are amazing, just fun
don't have a good sense of what casts are good on the bow
delicate arrow
Ah, I don't know I find Dio cast really boring
narrow inlet
as I haven't run it since I got slightly better at the game
I do too, but I've never leaned into it as much as I should before dismissing it
the dio/dem duo was fun though
delicate arrow
What does it do?
quiet berry
ice wine is possibly my favourite duo
delicate arrow
Ice wine, is it not?
Yeah
ice wine is possibly my favourite duo
@quiet berry hunting blades
narrow inlet
yeah. just a lovely amount of burst
delicate arrow
Heart rend on Guan yu
quiet berry
festive fog launches faster, has a different snowy effect, and has an additional burst of damage
narrow inlet
I assumed it chilled, but I don't think it did
delicate arrow
So basically dual cast
quiet berry
@delicate arrow favourite, not most powerful :p imo hunting blades needs to be reworked and at least part of it needs to go to the base cast
basically dual cast that stacks with dual cast
narrow inlet
^
delicate arrow
Ah, I see
narrow inlet
I got dual cast, swift cast, and the artemis legendary that run
7 casts in quick succession
all dual casted
with ice wine
everything melted. everything
delicate arrow
I would try it, but the fact it has no status effect is a huge turn off for me
As my utility usually goes in my cast
I'll either have a status effect or hunting blades with snow Burst
quiet berry
I want to get ice wine and scintillating feast on the same run
you can still get snow burst :p
delicate arrow
Yeah I guess
narrow inlet
yeah, snow burst + dash was how I got status around. worked out well
this was a guan yu build, too
was not supposed to be a cast build
until it accidentally became one
delicate arrow
With Guan yu I usually toss Poseidon cast with rupture and aphro special for heart rend
narrow inlet
walking into the last boss room with 5 DDs. heh
delicate arrow
@narrow inlet how
narrow inlet
chaos legendary + tooth
narrow inlet
presumably with artemis attack on that guan yu build? doesn't cast knock enemies away? seems counterproductive no?
didn't even use a single one of the 5 DDs. wellp
I've been liking athena and demeter attack on guan yu builds
have yet to try aphro special + artemis attack. that might be fun. aphro special is great in case you get charged skewer

It's on the title screen. 17 days, to my recollection

a little over two weeks 👀
solar coral
thanks, didnt feel like booting the game just to check
serene yarrow
The first update since I started playing 😄
stiff sleet
Ayyy, this'll be real neat for you, then
I'm so hype for the new update
New weapon
New aspects
serene yarrow
Yeah, I got it like 3 days after winter update
narrow inlet
yeah, pretty hyped for the new weapon. I didn't think new aspects were confirmed as coming this next update t hough
only been playing for 2 weeks or so, but have gotten 65 runs in so far wellp
stiff sleet
I'm assuming there's probably another aspect on the way with the weapon
narrow inlet
@quiet berry I appreciate your post in -feedback if only because it taught me that reaction time affects fish quality. thanks for that :p
stiff sleet
I could very well be wrong
narrow inlet
assumptions build unnecessary hype
you should see the amount of times SG steps in on the subreddit to correct people saying things like "yeah we should get a new biome/god with the next update"
stiff sleet
We should be getting at least ten thousand new Boons, a new weapon, seven different palette swaps, and Zag for Smash Bros next patch
I think all of those things are within reach
stiff sleet
...Feel like we already kinda have Zag in the form of Byleth, actually
They're kinda close
A bow, a lance, a sword
...New weapon's gonna be an axe, I can feel it
serene yarrow
I'm at 151 attempts haha
west chasm
Punching your way through Hades
stiff sleet
"Come here and say that to my face, boy."
"I'll do you one better." PUNCH
serene yarrow
Have escaped 30 times. so 1/5 lol
But of course it took a lot of runs before escaping once
narrow inlet
axe, fists, whip are good guesses
but I think it might be a ranged weapon
if only because the weapons on the left are melee, and the ones on the right are ranged (so far)
serene yarrow
whip could technically be some range
stiff sleet
...Meg gives Zag one of her old whips
narrow inlet
a medium range weapon I guess. normal attack is directional, special is an aoe whip around
stiff sleet
...That's a thought
What if, on maxing out a relationship tree, you could get a skin for one of your weapons?
Based on the character
stiff sleet
I feel like it'd be a bit much to unlock aspects, but cosmetic differences would be neat
west chasm
While wielding the whip, Zagreus' voicelines are replaced with Johnny Test quotes

No

Yes

merry harbor
Bounties max out at 20.
wispy lodge
@merry harbor Wait, really? Is that enough stuff to power up all the current (and future) aspects and relationships? Wouldn't stuff like Ambrosia not be enough for everything?
merry harbor
If you accidentally lose some ambrosia, you can always trade in at the vendor, but it's 20 levels per weapon.
that's a LOT of stuff
proud orbit
After you exhaust bounties there is several other ways still to get every resource
wispy lodge
Oh right, PER WEAPON
proud orbit
Fish, broker, you get some from prophecies and you can infinitely buy from charon
merry harbor
Yeah, much more reasonable with that in mind. If it was 20 total ever then I'd be worried
wispy lodge
I maxed out all relationships and I'm about to max out companions, and I'm at about 5 heat with each weapon. Yeah, there's more than enough for everything
I'm visiting my grandparents in southern Italy, and I realised I'm super close to where "historically" Persephone ended up after escaping Hades. I'll let you know if I see her lol

Nice.

"I have two common boons and an Epic, so I'll grab the rarity upgrade from Euridyice!"
Upgrade: Hits one of the unleveled commons and the Epic
At least it was the one for my special but, jeez
primal whale
Geez 20 per weapon? And I still have too much of the stuff...
Oh wait i misunderstood XD
hallow cargo

Ideally, yeah, because both had gotten a level up from nectar.
instead of the already good special
Worked out though, considering I got two Chaos rooms with special damage but at the time it just felt sillly.
Wait, no, it was the epic that had gotten a nectar, I'm smart.

A brilliant idea came to my mind now :D What do you think about making a bonus mode where you could play for Thanatos? ☠️ 😸

A truly wonderfull Idea would be the Underworld Tycoon where we play as Hades himself managing the dead and building mazes for your son to die in.

The underworld sure have lots of people with weird fetish
alpine stratus
um, this really isnt the server to discuss that, though
serene yarrow
I saw Thanatos do 12499 damage before. Not sure what status effects or whatever were in play.
tawny patio
That's +25% bonus damage. I guess it's 1 rank of Privileged Status, or maybe Sweet Surrender?

@warm dove play the harp repeatedly after each run. Several times each time. Eventually you'll get it. Don't forget to talk to Orpheus - he provides some tips once or twice.
warm dove
thanks alot
patent umbra
Shattered shackle boosts thanatos damage too
serene yarrow
Does a Trial of the Gods count for your keepsake boon?
latent gulch
You really need to play the harp a lot for the Gift of Song. Like.. a lot.
I only just finished it and it takes a lot of playing. It seems each time the playing gets better Orpheus will have something new to say. (After another run that is. At least so it seemed for me.)
