Yeah they're both just placeholder Shades rn
egg salad
Iirc even Sisyphus was a shade model at one point
Me too!
what do you guys think about any surprises we may get with the new update? Last time nobody could even guess fishing would be in
I have no idea tbh
yea, im always excited to see what SG will do
I'm at the point where I'm done speculating and more just shivering in anticipating
hahaha same
haha fair
there sint much more they can do that i can think of but they are a great company so idk
I wouldn't bet against them
id be satisfied with more dialouge, nyx art, new weapon
and id love more of an ending
Artemis, Charon, Sisyphus and Nyx were all shades, Patroclus was one but with a beard haha
some new enemy variations could be cool also, to spice things up
but im just waiting, in a lot of anticipation
But the text says « a new olympian is coming »
hera, apollo and hestia(??) are all that are left i think
because Artemis doesn't give her brother the time of day
Nice
dio took hestia's place so idk
That was nuanced.
It’s not Hera or Hestia as Demeter says at some point that they won’t help us because they’re mad or something so yeah maybe Apollo 😍
Since Apollo would be the one giving her the time of day
we can only get hera and apollo because they are all that is left
Hephaestus too
sadly I'm going to say Hestia is unlikely, as much aa I hope it would be someday
And Hestia
hephestus
Yes unfortunately :’(
isnt he just forge/fire
Heph would be nice because we could get 4th aspect of Vulcan
Or metalwork, he can be a support booster like Hermes
Increasing armor
Giving you armor even
armor
think about that
i see that as a bit much
i could see fire, but thats about it
I mean a dedicated armour god wouldn't be bad
or he is just daedalus^2
he's also the god of stone
Maybe you get a blue heart and there’s special effects when you lose it
So it’s not overpowered
stone
so could do with some environmental elements
bouldy is heph in disguise
He’s not a stone god :( that would be gaea
FENRIS
well specifically stone masonry I guess x3
What if he is
He’s also the god of volcano so maybe his effect leaves lava on the ground
Bouldy does give you blessings as if he were a sentient being
I honestly am more surprised Hera isn't in yet
Well apparently she's too busy being angry
wouldn't put it past her
If I had to guess, it's related to the whole Persephone debacle. ||She isn't on Mt. Olympus because the other Gods don't know where she is either. Maybe Zeus turned her away and peeved her off?||
Exactly my point
id like to think that olympus is actually dysfunctional and she doesn't like that so she left
but idk persephone's relations to the other gods besides she is demeter's kid
who is her father??
i forget
It's Zeus.
That's just the OG myth tho
wait, does persephone have dad issues like zag??
Not really.
nah
darn
zeus just goes around
Zeus even stepped in to help during the whole thing
I don't think they would go with the original myth here
besides maybe Zeus having a more keen interest to help find her
Yooo
Side tangent
Related to new weapon
I haven't seen it mentioned
But Persephone frequently carried a sheath of wheat AND
A scepter
I'm putting all money on it being a scythe
aspect of than here we come
it's the last og titan weapon
I just don't know if they'd do a scythe since it's so clearly Than's weapon
aspect of than!!
well Demeter is the only one without an aspect
And who wants the weapon that ||castrated a Titan|| lol
we have a spear and thats what ||hades|| usea
and she's part of the original titan slayers
so tah obviously has no bearing
Yeah but Hades' spear is a different spear and the one we're using is his OG so it's explained away as such
I just don't know what else Demeter could use
we're not getting a Hestia rail situation here x3
@dark cradle it being thans staple thing still shouldnt be a bearing
we need a "heavy" weapon and that leads to things like axe or scythe
and scythe has a bit more opprotunities
Hey, I'm not going to complain if that's what it is.
It's just not what I think it is.
I don't know what I think it is.
maybe a staff of some kind if we wanna play with it
hello everyone, is it a known bug that the final spear aspect special doesn't trigger support fire?
just noticed this
I'm not saying it's not possible
what could you do with a sceoter besides hitting people/ magic
i dont want a ice/fire rod situation form zelda
Magic would tie into it being a possible third ranged weapon.
god if we do get a magic based weapon, I hope it references Hecate
it's such a shame she didn't make the cut being one of the more prominent cthonic gods
I wonder if we'll ever see any of the Titans that are still kicking around.
Like Oceanus.
I doubt it
Styx is technically one.
just because titans are a huge thing
zag just says "my turn to fell a titan"
I expected Cronus to show up at some point because he's pretty well known
also for some it really wouldn't make sense
Saw a theory that maybe the narrator is a titan but I can't really see that
I totally could buy into that
I think the narrator is somebody like Homer
especially if it's someone like Prometheus
Tiresias
who's always had a bit of a soft side
I don't think it could be just a poet or prophet because of how omnipotent he is
Maybe it'll be kept ambiguous
i mean, tiresias would make sense
honestly they don't really have to answer it
Actually wait
GUYS
what if
the narrator is bouldy all along
That's it.
totally canon now
Damnit now I spoiled it for everyone
banned
blood and darkness
xD
we should be able to!
same thing as bouldy
dedicate the victory to the shade
random small buff
just made a feedback comment about it
Haha.
That shade in my headcanon is Marcus Aurelius, who despite being a Roman Emperor was raised and taught by Greek tutors so he gets a pass into Elysium.
if the surprise for the update is we can gift the supportive shade, I would die happy
I hope they don't ever hint on who it could be
and we can leave it up to interpretation of the various possibilities that have made to Elysium
Right.
Whoever it was likely a great leader, though, considering they're up on the Podium area of the Colosseum they're in.
or they just got their ticket early xP
Hahaha
I'm just saying
i cant wait for the supportive shade to be a romance option
just
romance the shade
if they were so excited about supporting Zagreus despite being hilariously outnumbered
This is a pipedream but I wonder if they'll ever do anything like an event that references the more, y'know, Roman side of Greco-Roman mythology.
@grand crystal You wouldn't want that
ight
it'll be a tale of forbidden love
Even though the Roman side is technically the Greek side since they stole most of it.
id love a zag/suppoortive shade romance tbh..... celebrity smooch 
i dont think heracles is in elysium
yeah good point
that is said in game
forgot
he's up on olympus because of zeus or something
(also sorry mods)
but like, wouldnt heracles be in tarturus anyway
i think he ends there in his myth
Yeah he became a God upon his demise
BUT
He still had a mortal aspect.
So they sent that part of him to the Underworld.
Its phantasm is said to eternally roam the Elysian fields.
going back a bit, I don't think they would touch on the Roman aspect, we're not even sure of the timeline of the game
That's literally what I said lol
I just like the concept of the Greek Gods having like, alternate personas for their Roman counterparts
but it isnt alternate personas, they are just renamed
besides apollo
thats just lazy
they do have difference
generally being tougher, warlike and organised
And Apollo's name stayed the same because he's probably the most important God, arguably, and the God attributed with most descriptor phrases.
Apollo's just a good name
don't wanna mess with what works
I'm excited to see what SGG does with him.
Don't all of any of the Gods' lovers die in their myths lol
don't people die period
but i mean, especially apollo
xD
Well.
man I would want Apollo just to see the Apollo/Artemis duo boon interaction
There was Cassandra.
He cursed her so really that's on him.
Because she rejected him.
lol
i fell like apollo is desperate at this point
There was Daphne who was a water spirit and Apollo was being a C R E E P and constantly sexually hounding her so she begged her father to help.
And he turned her into a laurel tree.
i wouldnt be suprised if apollo made moves on zag when he gets introduced
but i wouldnt like it
And Apollo was often depicted with a crown of laurel leaves so after that he clearly was still a creep.
There was Cyparissus, who was this beautiful young man.
And Apollo liked him so much that he gave him a cute deer for a pet.
But then Apollo slipped and accidentally killed it with a javelin as it slept under a tree.
cant believe that zeus is better then apollo at "relationships"
And Cyparissus was super sad and begged Apollo to let him cry forever so Apollo turned him into a tree.
The Cypress tree, no surprise.
Which has sap that looks like tear drops.
why so many trees
Apollo just needs zeus as his wingman
proceeds to pick up zag
Then there was also Acacallis who was the daughter of King Minos.
She had two kids with Apollo but since they were from Crete and Apollo was a foreign God, her father banished her to Libya.
And then she later had another kid with Zeus.
And then another kid with Hermes.
he's a god of poetry
With Hermes her kid was Cydon who went to Crete and formed the town Cydonia.
not good poetry
And on Crete there's a flower named after Acacallis.
BUT
Apollo definitely sowed his seeds.
He had over a hundred children.
Orpheus is one of them.
then orpheus went and died
Asclepius and Aristaeus too.
because he messed up with eurydice
he turned around
at the last bit
that dummy
real talk Eurydice best girl
eh
I can see why Orpheus would go to all the trouble
I mean cmon, making boons better is the best
than best girl tho not gonna lie
Artemis is best girl
no but it will fuel the ship wars
x]
because she's cold
You right
I mean.
He had hundreds of successful romantic encounters.
I don't think the dude is too hung up about it.
In most of them he was actually kind of being a pressuring ***hole.
So don't feel bad for him.
Because of him being a jerk at least two people got turned into trees.
dating apollo = 10% chance of being turned into a tree
Other plants included.
You may have died, but at least now you get to be a pretty flower!
alteast he believes on going green
instead of the bodies of people lets have plants
he breaks up with you in an eco-friendly way
plant a tree, transmogrify your romantic partner into a tree... same thing
its his arbor day routine
@sonic sentinel there's a visual??
i just go off of normal timing
and muscle memory
i didnt even know there was a visula and ive been a bow main since before chaos
The line that extends when you charge. It stops extending with the bouncing shots.
there's a flash of light on the indicator for a very short amount of time when it's ready to powershot
i know the flash
but i never pay attention to the line unless im actually trying to snipe
i just aim for like 1/2 a sec and then shoot
i always time it to the flash and not when the range reaches the end since there's a small delay on that iirc
i just time it to the flash but now i dont even need that
i just know the timing
ive been playing thi sgame for too long
The only common factor in apollos failed relationships is apollo
Is there a bug report out for the collision on maps?
Finally get a decent build with Hera Bow, and my bloodstones straight up disappeared.
Makes Hermes' Recall Boon basically mandatory, but it's a legendary -_-
Feelsbadman, robbed of what could've been my first victory against the final boss 😦
does anyone have the font of the text boxes of the dialogue?
so I have played nearly 200 hours of Hades and I just realized Artemis's hat/hair cover thing is actually her hair. I'm a special kind of stupid.
Thank goodness I thought I was going crazy because I still can't unsee it being a hat or headcover.
it's her hair?!
TIL

Anyone having problems with updating Hades? When I try to play it say contents are still encrypted
@coarse junco you should post that on #h1-tech-support
Got it fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling
Update hype train. New weapon 😮😮😮

Exactly
I forgot, how many days left before update?
6 days
👀
Man, the people who dubbed This game made an incredible job, I mean god
I love when they chat
Also, I'm really hoping that Patroclus and Achilles get to see each other someday
Meg's voice makes me melt tbh
So does Than, just in general
The audio work is so, so good
I find it perfect
I think my favorite voice so far is Hades himself
It's really imposing, and strong. It fits well, haha
Hades' voice is really good
@lean cloud Don't dodge the swear filter please! And no, they are still available for me.
Perhaps you are having connection issues?
Another channel just disappeared.
I took a screenshot. Give me a sec.
Tech support just disappeared.
Ah, that would be because you have the category for Hades minimized. Click the > arrow above where you see #hades-faq
Woah.
Apparently, I clicked something on my keyboard that made that happen. Weird and trippy.
Thanks.
Sure thing!
i hope to god Achilles and his lover are reunited like their ashes are in a gourd.
But strangely...isn't the point of the lore of this rogue-lite to never escape and a never changing much situation...like stuck in fate? If the game does have a real ending, does that even make sense? Unless it is unlocked in Hell mode, maximum heats as you beat the ultimate odds and become a true hero...
I may say in such case, I will never see the ending though
The ending is not complete, as not all components of it are out so we have to wait what they will offer.
Hey, who is the "supportive shade"?
Supportive Shade is... Himself!
I'm trying my hardest to remember who on tartarus is that
I don't know if I'm tired or just confused, but how come I have never reached them? I have over 60 hours of gameplay, oof 
Wait
Theseus's arena in the top corner
The red supportive shade! They actually can be seen even preparing Zagreus posters in Bull's chamber.
Oooh
Detais!
Man, next time I'm on a run, I'll definetly play close attention to that
I'm usually hella focused on giving my best shot
They can't be seen, but the poster is up there!
UPDATE HYPE
A week has never felt so long
Are you ready for the new update just utterly wreck everything untill you cant even play this because so much things changed?
Yeeee me neither.
Is there a consensus opinion on what the new weapon will be?
No.
Aah okay
I'm not sure if they're a significant weapon in Greek mythology but I'm hoping for some gauntlets
Do some punching
But then again we do have exagryph so sticking to the Canon doesn't seem top priority lol
if it's a melee weapon i hope it's either really fast or cant be canceled by getting hit
the sword special tilts me
Sword special with Athena's deflect boon makes you almost invincible
Then ya add a hermes boon for faster specials and it's game over super fast
Wait what Sword special and Athena's deflect work well together? I always assumed they had bad synergy lmao
bare hands would be a fun final weapon
punches, kicks, maybe even a grapple
let me suplex the elysians
a whip?
Meg would not let us smear titan blood on her favourite whip i'm like 147% sertain.
@wet reef it’s actually a defensive synergy. Makes clearing crowded rooms a bit safer and you have a deflect AoE 
maybe we'll find the secret fourth whip that belongs to the fury sister who would have punished people with an attitude but kinda lost her job because she would have had to punish everyone in the underworld
actually the last weapon belongs to the final god who fought against the Titans right?
maybe Nemesis?
just checked its on the blade
Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon i think. that was from a quick wikipedia scan
Hades took the Spear, Poseidon the Blade
wait that would leave one weapon open then right? Probably the Bow I assume
Zeus has the shield
right the bow belonged to his wife
Nemesis aspect is on sword
Demeter has a scythe or sickle since she is the god of harvest which was apparently molded from cronus' scythe
Oh woops didn't see your message harbor
Apparently Demeter also had a torch...
Either way, I hope we can float.
I'll accept a scythe that we can float with, like Than, and throw at things.
i require update
Don't we all?
@jade grove You dare stray from our fire torch wand agreement?
I'll be slightly disappointed, but it's the next best thing
Never surrender!
6 days is plenty of time to force SG to utterly change all designs if its not a floating flamethrower device thing
As long as I can burninate the countryside while moving, I will be happy
I dont care if it looks like a my little pony
Have mercy on those guys who need to playtest all that.
Aren't WE the playtesters?
...neat
Kinda, but I'm pretty sure there is some hidden circle of nerds who get to play something utterly broken and report on that.
we need to find their parent's basement
AAA studios typically hire specialized companies that provide playtesters, if not done in house
Not sure how a smallish studio like supergiant does it though
They usually hire playtesters, or invite community members to play test it.
very small indie devs usually do it themselves, and then have friends do it, or put it up online and have suckers like us hardcore fans do it.
Now we have the concept of Early Access, but back in the day it was Beta testers. But to get to that level, its already been playtested to death
having a game early access gives the developers more freedom when it comes to changing mechanics because the 'early access' term means that a large amount of the content could be subject to change.
Right, we aren't "playtesters" in the strict definition, we are more like beta testers back in the day. God that makes me feel old.
we are determining how the make the game enjoyable, and our feedback represents a more balancing effect, sometimes picking off bugs etc etc. Playtesters are actively trying to BREAK the game. Not just, Dionysus is OP, nerf please, but "When I got to step 10 on the dionysus playtest checklist, when I used poison on X enemy while in Y position, the game crashed. I was able to repeat this 10042 our o 11054 times
Yikes, professional playtesting sounds intense and kind of tedious too
any playtesting is intense and tedious
Its not a pleasant job. Its not really: here play this game and let us know what you think!
its, here is this small portion of the game, Mr/Ms Playtester ID#40054, follow this procedure and checklist and meticulously write down every reaction (not your opinion, just write it down), and do this THOUSANDS of times
AAA game playtesting is usually the worst, but if you are a small but significant indie studio, I would imagine it might be even worse due to budget constraints raising the overall amount of gameplay responsibility you might have a playtester.
there is scaling though, AAA games get ripped to shreds for bugginess, but smaller dev teams bugs are considered a natural part of the evolution of their games. All games are judged by their bugginess though.
Maybe SG will chime in on that aspect, its always an interesting subject to me. I never playtested, the most involved I got in development was beta testing (one time an alpha-ish test, I barely remember the experience). But I do know people who have, and their discussions (that they can have at the time) were very interesting. Not interesting enough for me to quit my job and do that instead though lmao.
How would you rank spear aspects?
My own personal tastes is literally in the order that it appears in, with Zag being the best aspect for me, and Guan being the worst.
yh, that would seem stressful for both playtesters and developers because one is under a heavy microscope while the other party has to blaze through entertainment to meet a deadline. also i dont have all the aspects so i cant be the judge on which spear is best.
I like Zag>Achilles>Guan Yu>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hades
Guan Yu might get better when I play with it more, but I have too much fun with Zag and Achilles so far.
Guan Yu is only great at level 5, otherwise yes it is sucky. You learn to dodge more with it, stick to special and use other attacks only if you need to replenish health.
hmmmm I might pick it up again my next run and slap some titan blood on it.
guan yu > the rest
I haven't tried guan yu yet but so far I like achilles > zag > hades
achilles damage boost allows your attack to actually pack a punch/your cast without risking that much if you throw a spear you can wait for enemies to throw attacks at you then dash right next to them and unleash a flurry of attacks the only thing I don't like about it is I wish the buff lasted longer than it does
While the range and animation speed is nice on zag, it still has that awkward hiccup when you retrieve it which causes a poorly timed retrieval to make yo uget hit, the damage boost isn't much of an increase either especially when you have other special increases at 60% and those weapons have higher base damage
hades requires you to charge the attack which takes a while, and has typically puny range which makes taking fast enemies from heat a terrible choice and usually that's an easy 3 heat
Achilles is good for cast builds too; it gives higher damage bonus for your casts than poseidon or eris.
I don't like the special on spear that much other than applying status; and guan yu.
Guan yu special usually is my main dps. It makes the spear fun for me.
And i agree with the hiccup. I wish that was eliminated; then i would like the spear much more. Something responsive like rail attack. It would make achilles work like i would like it to; for long range dashing.
Also; for all aspects i think the spin attack is not bad. It's a little bit too slow even with the hammer upgrade. I would be fine if spin damage was cut in half and the base chargeup time was half too.
Guan-Yu special is super strong, not only for it’s base damage and AoE, but also for the fact that it ditches the retrieval part, making it much more spammable. The spin is healing, occasionally.
Also Achilles LOVES Athena, either for the cast or the attack for spins
Quick Spin Aphro/Athena/Artemis builds are all totally viable on Guan Yu.
Yeah, but you need the hammers
If anything, hybrids are an option
also the one hammer I really wanna try on achilles is triple dash attack, especially if I get artemis dash
Triple dash is iffy on higher heats, but on the lower ones I could see it being fun
Sorry if this has been asked before but what is the current state of the game? Is it pretty balanced right now? Are their massive important segments of the game missing? Or is it just additional content being added on? Should I wait until it's out of early access or just hop in now?
I've done Serrated edge with Hades Aspect on 15/20 Heat before.
The full game structure is in place, the story is still pretty far-from-finished.
^
But the last few updates will probably be devoted to putting the story into place, so the game is very close to finished.
Also the upcoming update adds more stuff
The balance is pretty fair the only time you have hiccups is when you mess with really high difficulties which are 1 completely optional and 2 aren't likely to be content you'd choose to experience early on into playing hades
Thanks for the responses I appreciate it. 👍🏿
Like the heat system needs some adjustement, and there are debates about the aspects of the weapons, but outside of that balance is ok

I reflect the sentiment of @marsh jackal regarding issues in the game; most of the time not worth bickering about but technically you should since you are a beta tester now. The game is a great game; the storyline is developed well (up until where they say more content will come) and the gameplay is already the best roguelike i played.
Serrated Edge is fun but you've gotta have a good understanding of the dash distance and it's reduction to use it without getting yourself killed.
It's a big damage buff though
Hunter Dash, Deadly Strike, Aspect of Hades.
If you're lucky enough to get Greatest Reflex, rejoice in your hilariously busted run.
Otherwise, pray for Drift Dash, and learn to use it because you are stuck in the triple strike for a hot minute.
Any guesses on the new weapon? I think it will be a big and slow hammer
its my turn on asking the new weapon
What if we get a wand?
Eh, but I don't really see Demeter wielding a hammer though
Plus the shield already kinda fills the niche of blunt force trauma weapon
My theory is still that it'll ranged, probably a Torch/flamethrower
Well if we're basing it on the OG Titan slaying weapons and it specifically says another 'Titan slaying weapon' in the update teaser, then it's likely a scythe.
I want it to be a scepter but I'll be happy with whatever.
I mean, I don't recall the legend of Hestia with a machine gun
No, but you can stretch the whole 'flame of the hearth' and 'fire coming out of a pot' thing and say that's essentially what a gun is.
Don’t like it
I love it lol
It's fantastic but could use an in-game explaination about the reroll possibility being split between perma rewards and ones for your current run.
Does anybody know what the mirror cap on them is
I’d suggest saving it for styx (i tried it after someone mention it) you can gurantee a solid amount of boons that way
I saw somebody that had 7 and I wasn't sure if it was modded or not
It’s not
I’m currently at 6 and I could upgrade it to 7 but it’s like 50k to upgrade
Yeah I remember back when I thought the god rarity was a darkness sink
It's not too bad once you get the upgrade that has Key pick ups give you one.
I typically save it for Styx as well then burn them all trying to get Boons on every door
I usually save Cerberus heart (if elite door) everything else boon town
How is everybody doing on Streaks?
I'm on a streak of seven rn and almost too afraid to do another run.
I got up to 9 once, realized I was running out of dialogue because I hadn't died often enough, and shelved my pride to go do risky stuff and forget about keeping one.
I wish I had tried for Streaks earlier lol I'm getting into high heats now and it's making it 2spook
My highest is 12 and I’m somewhere around 10
I lost my streak with sword
What heat are you at right now cale?
I'm only at 8 ;;
i have managed 10 streaks then lost it on next run with those damn
satyrs
middle management in the styx tunnels /stares into distance
My trick is burst first one as hard as possibly and then use companion on second
I had a streak of like 25 back when heat became what is it now
Yeah that’s what’s happening to me right now
That 12 streak was the heat change lost once and now I’m on about 10
Guys, daily reminder that if youre going to invest in a cast build, make sure a tier 1 cast is obtainable
I'm at Elysium with nothing but hunters dash, fully loaded, dual shot and snow burst
F
Didn't manage to get slicing shot
2nd Ares boon, still nothing.
Got ravenous will.... Still nothing..
At this point I'm just going to go true shot
With no crit on me
Finally found patty
I believe in you, friend
I'm so done.
Going to Hades with 2 DD kekw
Oh now I find 2 Ares boons
At STYX
Honestly if I get heroic cast all this hassle was worth
Nope
Lost all dd
I FOUND SLICING SHOT
FINALLY
JESUS CHRIST
But do you have Hunting Blades yet?
@delicate arrow last boss is spoilers
Good luck!
Gonna need it for sure
Imma get Demeter boon and leave
Hopefully legendary
Oh nvm can't get Demeter boon kekw
Will just get pom and gas
I died
ah quick question
so Meg came into my room
and said something about her sister
sisters*
some crap
and some hearts started to shoot
what does that mean
like the hearts at the top
went pew pew pew
You can now romance Meg if you so desire.
oh so now
those pew pew pew things
meant its all cool
and i didnt blow it up?
and that is the reason to stay till 3 am?
There is no blowing up
||huh is Demeter Zagreus' aunt ingame?||
||she is sibling to zeus-hades-poseidon||
||also she is mother to persephone with zeus apparently||
oh boi weird family tree
@terse holly the actual answer is a big part of her story and also a spoiler, but in case you don't mind ||she's the mother of Persephone, and Zagreus' grandmother, but she's unaware of the latter. She's also the foster sibling of Zeus/Hades/Poseidon, so she THINKS she's Zagreus' foster aunt. And no, she's mother to Persephone with an unnamed farmer, who was mortal.||
i got it from wikipedia but okay
forgot to mention that this is all ingame, I don't know the actual myths 
||so that makes zagreus...3/4 a god||
||yeah in myth zeus is married to hera who is also his sibling||
||and athena is an autonomous head protuberation from zeus||
||They navigated the whole incest thing with Persephone being the child of Zeus and Demeter and had her instead be the daughter of Demeter and a mortal fisherman.||
Yeah...
👀
Five days actually, in PST! Tuesday March 10th. 💃
Crap. Update in five days, Nioh 2 in eight
And I'm hip deep in FF 14 right now -.-
Do i get pyre if i purchased Hades?
I don't think so
i thought i read something like that here, but steam says otherwise so i guess no
There was a promotion a while ago about that, but it's been gone for a while
Oh, thanks
I had the game at the time of the promotion, but I guess I didn't understand how the promotion worked, because I never got the copy of Pyre
You should have received a giftable copy in your inventory.
oh, it's there lol. Thanks
Coffee can spread some Pyre love 
4 more days
Got 50 keys and like 30 blood ready for the weapon
Wait I just looked up the rewards for fishing did you know you can get diamons/titans blood/ambrosia if you do it in Chaos?
Yeah. I mean no wonder. Chances of fish spot in Chaos place are quite rare.
Wait I just looked up the rewards for fishing did you know you can get diamons/titans blood/ambrosia if you do it in Chaos?
@marsh jackal I got a Titan Blood last time!! But I've already made over 50 runs and I've only managed to get a fish from there literally once
It be like that 
It’s not my run and it also hurts me
That would be an extra OOOF and a half if it had a Fated List scroll-mark.
Can someone tell me, what to do, if I found a bug, but did not know I can F10 and so just made a foto? O.o
ehhh I would try to recreate it, because then you F10 it apparently sends a savefile with it.
sounds like the best I could do, ty
Anybody received an email today for the translation/localization?
@quaint sundial tfw chaos legendary should be an exception when you got full defiance
it should reward you for getting the rng in the first place, and being good enough to not spend the defiance aka experienced players
tbh what if for a fun hidden buff of if you have 3 defiance each boon roll has a hidden 0.1% increase in getting the legendary
0.1% is really minor 
About no-choice; the game is seeded so the crossed out choices show you what it would be without the no-choice; so you can restart with lower heat if you want.
Is it normal some characters no longer have voices? Or is it a glitch?
only my character actually has a voice anymore
no choice shouldn't be a thing
same goes for customs (although you get some gold back) and increased prices
those aren't about increasing difficulty as much as they are about substracting content/fun imo
the loss aversion kicks in
no choice is only less fun because you can see what you lose out on
if you don't see it, you don't actually lose anything, and it's just RNG
well you lose one option so yes you're still losing
it won't feel like it though
it'd feel about the same as getting 3 random choices, but yk with only 1
it's getting 1 "choice" vs losing 2 choices
I'd rather have some sort of "chaos curse" downside (drawbacks) rather than less stuff in general
through pact
boons of blue/purple/legendary/duo would have chaos drawback for X encounters
you realize that chaos curses are still technically "less stuff", right?
-5 hp on attack = don't use attack, etc.
ye and they're bad, they should have cooldown instead of hp cost
there's a cooldown on chaos cast downside
should be that instead of -hp on attack which translates as "don't attack"
u cant get killed by that though, so just atk normally and dont get hit

Hi, I have a question regarding the OST in general
I was wondering what instrument were used in songs like Good Riddance/From Olympus/Lament of Orpheus
My guess would be an acoustic guitar but the sound is so peculiar, I'm kind of doubting it's right
It doesn't really sound like an actual lyre, maybe a bouzouki or something, does anyone know ?
@river socket you play bow don't you
i try to use all weapons
when i tested that i was using bow yea
i had hera aspect and couldnt use atk
had nothing for special

@olive lake @drowsy jungle I think they use a lute
That's what I thought at first too but it doesn't really sound like one imo
If it isn’t a lute I’m tapped out of older sounding guitars, haven’t gotten to that point in my music class
This is why I was suggesting an actual guitar, which it does sound like most of the time haha, thanks anyway!
I mean they very well could be using a lute and a guitar for songs
Yeah they could, it just doesn't sound like a lute to me, there's a certain "sharpness" that isn't typical of the lute but I could be wrong
other than typical instruments there are a 12-stringed guitar, a mandolin, and a lute-type instrument
It’s possible they modified the lute sound to make it sharper so it doesn’t clash with a guitar too
I don’t know pm darren korb
We embed with the art and music teams at Supergiant Games to examine what it's like creating the visuals and soundtrack for Hades, while the game is still in early access.

Oh, well that kind of answers it lol
Now I need to determine which ones are used in these specific songs, but at least that narrows it down, thanks
Edit: Sounds like the instrument I was looking for is a Tanbur
thanks for your answers
how many days til update again? i cant open the game rn to check
im not an ezreal main
Oh lol
The updates on Tuesday
ty
Looks like the new weapon are some kind of throwing daggers /shurikens according to the pic?! Cool
Aspect of Samurai Jack
@radiant dune according to the pic?? where on the pic??
what pic
in the announcemnents right
u see a hand on the right with something she's throwing in the air
@river socket in announcments
or am i going crazy xD
no thats nyx i think
the nyx art
because the only major god that they have not denied and that is left is apollo
but her hand thats just her hand
yeah but above it u see something like she's throwing up in the air
or is that from her robe or something
xD..
it looks like its connected to her robe
looks like it's from her robe
the shoulder bit
yea it's similar in both sides
inb4 skelly, but with glowing eyes
The devs said Hera wouldn’t be one of the Olympian gods in the game?
I mean she doesn't really have any abilities associated with her? would be kind of hard to come up with a boon concept for her
What, family values and bearing children isn't powerful enough for you?
they're adding a weapon this update, right? it was stygian poseidon, varatha hades, aegis zeus, coronacht hera, and hestia rail, so that leaves the last weapon to be demeter's?
I mean there are still a few gods they haven't touched on so if they end up adding another Olympian they have options
The powers of guilt are the strongest in all the cosmos
Not every God has a weapon aspect
No, but 5/6 of the OG olympians do
no, i'm listing out the gods who originally fought the titans in hades
all thats missing is Demeter
ok, so it is demeter
the rest are their children... sort of
And then Guan Yu
Except Aphrodite... sort of
just trying to imagine what weapon it'd be
I really hope the final aspects for all the weapons are gods from different pantheons I think that would be cool
the aspects don't have to be gods though, as demonstrated by achilles and guan yu
nemesis is also not a god right...if i remember right
I guess it's more like mythological beings
if we go by the pattern so far, the god aspect is the third one (and the "original") while the rest just seems like choices they pick
The aspects seem to follow this naming trend (fourth one is of course a sample of one so who knows):
if they do go elsewhere with the fourth one it'd be cool, yeah
Zag > Minor god/major hero > OG Olympian > Non-greek mythological figure
Like Rama aspect for bow or Arthur for sword
i feel like guan yu was kinda shoehorn in though; like if they did it for every weapon at once it wouldn't feel so weird personally (though i guess that is the downside ofthe game being in early access)
although idk how they’ll fit in a gun with a mythical hero
Aspect of Schwarzenegger
i guess it depends on how far back you're going, right?
gunpowder and guns have been around for a while
Billy the Kid rail aspect XD
Also, this game does not have to follow a timeline. The gods are eternal after all
gunpowder sure, but guns themselves are a bit muddy depending on how you define gun
oh sure; guan yu does not come before the ancient greeks
like does a fire lance count
the issue is how far back (from us) we're looking at here
Guan Yu is from like
it's very hard to narratively prop up a recent figure as mythical
It could be modern, the weapons themselves are ethereal, unbound to time and space
1000 years after Greek
I mean I totally agree with that, theres not a lot of mythical heroes who have wielded a gun lol
We do have plenty of legendary gunslingers though
they could maybe have it skinned as a crossbow for a legendary crossbow user
there was not so many legendary crossbow user's
Aspect of Skurge lmao
Robin Hood Bow XD
that seems too close to the bow side then
Aspect of Guts
robin hood bow aspect would be super cool
A bow that has a chance to take gold from enemies
repeating crossbow would still be distinct i guess but that’s chinese again so less variety
i assume guan yu is chinese at least
Aspect of Skurge: The Rail is now two handed, Left hand is Des, right hand is Troy
Just make all the aspects Chinese will just turn into dynasty warriors
Miyamoto Musashi aspect of Sword
dual wielding on special
there are so many great heroes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_of_Brahma this would be neat for the bow, could unleash the sun on enemies or something
tbh wikipedia's list of mythical weapons has a ton of good stuff
also realising just how much fire emblem rips off myths, knew they had some but didn't realise it was everything
they have nearly unlimited possibilities
patch today?
nope! tuesday
cant wait
still think the wep is going to be a scythe
unless we get like a gun sword or something
it would be cool if the different weapons could have skins from the other sggs
like the sword gets a transistor skin
There could be the Chronos and Thanatos aspects
Oh yeah right, no idea if she actually uses one but it does make sense
im still going to never forget that you threw the machete in bastion
and i still think why the sword for hades cant do that
Because with the Poseidon aspect, it's already a cast/ranged oriented weapon I guess lol
Well, you have the option to go ranged at least
but i want zag to chuck the sword
even though its almost the size of him
id love to see him just throw it
fist weapon but it makes your fists like rayman so you can punch from across the map
Only half a week left
Does anyone know if Athena legendary boon is bugged or if you need a prerequisite boon to get it? Been trying to get it for about 8 hours of game play with her keepsake maxed out the whole time. Just had a run where I picked her up 8 times through the run and still nothing. Dont know if im just absurdly unlucky or what
you need a basic deflect boon plus brilliant riposte as the prereqs to her legendary
that would prolly be it then. Never take that boon. Thanks for the info 😄
can we get that update now im like waiting
the wait never ends
Imagine if SGG made plush toys/keychains of the companions..like a little battie or mort
They could have my money if they did that
So i just noticed that Than's shoulder accessory, 3 wings, is made as a counterpart to Zag's cerberus skull shoulder piece
You learn something new everyday huh
@west chasm do you mean pauldron
Yeah that
The devs were pretty cool to look up Greek myth and implement it into their designs.
Yeah, the greeks surely did not make those iterations as flashy tho
We’re talking about merch and I just want a nice figure of Zag for my desk or something
I wonder if anyone's mocked up a zag funko
I know there's been some funko mock ups of... other characters but
Imagine buying funkos
I’m not too big on the funkos either. They have their place but I think the aesthetic kind of ruins a lot of cool character designs. I’d prefer something more akin to a Zagreus amiibo
amiibos are pretty legit even if you don't have a switch, IMO
They make for decent figures on their own, especially for the price they go for
I like funkos cause they have them for SO many series and things that might not have figures otherwise and they all match too so completely different things like an anime one, and game one and a movie one can all go next to one another without looking as crazy. Though I agree the look isn't the best and the designs can get butchered they at least of recognizable for the most part LOL
Do we know how many more updates the devs have planned before leaving early access?
Funko's issue is that they don't work with most human shaped characters nor anything with a naked human-like face
@pliant dagger nothing specific, just that 1.0 release will be the latter half of this year
Funkos come down whether you like the design or not, by simplifying it like they did its super easy for them to get as many characters as possible. Personally not a fan of the design, feels like they cut too much emotion from the figures, I'd rather get a nendoroid of Zag. Nendoroids even with their chibi design still feel like they captured what the character is about and not just what they look like
Hello everyone, I need help from a fellow Hades player. My PC crashed, and apparently Epic store doesn't do cloud saves. So I've lost my save that I put 67H in, and that hurts badly. 😦 I had pretty much everything unlocked. I had unlocked all abilities in the mirror (except for Fated Authority which had i unlocked but 0 darkness on it), I had spent quite a lot on lounge renovations, had 2 familiars and several weapons aspect maxxed out, ...
So I'm asking for help, would anyone be willing to share their saves with me so I can copy it on my drive ? I can't see myself grinding for 67h again
and in case anyone think I'm lying and just want to skip the grind, I can prove what I'm saying, since I was streaming myself playing the game this week, so I can show you a VoD on Twitch of me playing at heat 16, with a familiar and a lot of decorations in the lounge
only 4 days left till the new weapon drops!
it's a flail, but with bouldy attached to the chains 
Bouldy? Chained? Impossible 
Bouldy is chained, and should it come unchained then olympus itself will quake at its fury
is anyone elses game suddenly locked at 60PFS?
did vsync get turned on or something
But the vsync still does lower to to 60. I turned it off and have 90+, it lowered frames to 30
Bouldy off the string what crimes will he commit
seems strange cause i havent changed any of my settings
only just started happening today
ive fixed it now tho
when you equip it the music slightly changes and gets louder the more enemies you kill with the boulder special "roll up"
Aspect of the Prince: After rolling up a certain number of enemies the special will summon the King of all Cosmos to be very weirdly condescending towards you

hi guys : )
i love this game so far wow
the main characters voice is making me question my sexuality 😳
wait until you find out he also voices skelly
Is it too soon to ask patch when?
uh in 4 days I think it is?
And yeah Zagreus is voiced by Darren Korb, the same guy who voices Skelly, makes the music and such!
wow lol
I'm sure I'm not the first one to suggest this, but when Hades is complete can we rally for a spinoff dating sim?
Yes!
Welcome to the party 
pretty sure Pyre was a dating sim of sorts already
maybe, but Pyre didn't have 
pyre dlc for dusa
dusa spinoff game when
Pyre didn't have Artemis or Aphrodite xD
what time today is the patch?
Not today, in a few days.
i was being surprised there for a minute.

when the day comes, probably some time later in the day, there's no specific time
Hades already is a dating sim
The best dating sim I've ever played! Its also apparently a roguelite dungeon hack and slash but meh 
So we have
An endearing humming simulator with a new tactics oriented action game attached to it
A great visual novel with some fantasy rugby elements
And now a dating sim with a few roguelite elements
in what way will SGG surprise us after Hades?
A narrative driven shopkeeper simulator with elements of jet-ski surfing
An FPS with chess elements
I'm very probably going to buy Hades when the update drops. I really want to play it instead of just watching people, lol. I love the greek themes and the gameplay just seems really fun. And I just love roguelites
I'm hyped to see the new content
I say buy it now and enjoy!
Don't have the money 😅 getting my allowance soon.
sank over a 100 hours now, it's great
That's fair!
I can imagine
Also the designs are great, so I make drawings of it a lot currently
Trying for at least 1 per day right now. But did some more than that at first
oh? Maybe drop some of that good stuff at #fan-works !
oh yeah, I see it 
you mean the good ms paint ones? i see no bad ones
I have made zagreus, dusa, bouldy, magaera, red shade and now artemis
That's actually why I bought Hades, I am a huge sucker for the Greek Gods and when I saw what Zagreus and Dionysus looked like, I smashed that purchase button!
Thanks
Also, it was on a 20% sale or something so that helped
nice
your
is on point
Your art is amazing Simpire! I love your Red Shade!
thanks :)
I'm thinking about maybe making red shade with some zag merch, or wearing like the belt of Theseus and axe of Asterius as if they've been defeated and zag gave them to red shade
I can do that, though I'm afraid it would look too much like my original drawing. So I'd probably add some more stuff, like one of those soda hats or something
People seemed to like red shade so I wanted to join the love
I'm very curious what the new weapon will be
And I'll also probably draw some art to go along with new designs added in the update
There’s been talk all over the place to what the new weapon could be! I’ve heard things like scythe, staff, flamethrower. Even a bag of bombs!
Stuff like a bow could be fun
A slow but wide sweeping scythe could be fun
I'd also like something like a boxing glove or brass knuckles where you could maybe get some combo attacks going or something
i'm a supporter of the Big Ol' Hammer
Bastion doom cannon
Aspect of Yzma: Put the enemy in a box, then put that box inside another box, then mail it to myself and when it arrives AHAHA I’ll smash it with a hammer!
hm, yes, it's all coming together
I know it turned into the repeater, but since supergiant wanted to have a weapon that you could fire whilst moving I'd like something like the orbitals from kid iccarus uprising. Like 2 turrets flying beside you and shooting where you aim. you wouldn't have to have many more animations on zagreus himself. Maybe they'd fire slower than the repeater and as special you could leave one of the turrets somewhere. It would still shoot at where you were aiming, but you could leave it somewhere and recall it for more area coverage
That's my brain machine thinking of a quick idea at least, don't actually know how plausible it'd be
It just sounds fun to me now
throwing knives could work for something you could shoot while moving but it's not a very godly weapon
They were thinking something similar to that! A lot of the talk against it was how Zag would look hovering with a gun
A spear is just a stick with a dagger tied at the end
basically
hey pretty new, but was wondering when I can use titans blood on weapons? I have 12 escape attempts and 950 darkness gem things
still cant it seems
have you unlocked all the weapons?
no not yet
you need to do that, i'm pretty sure that's the only requirement though
oh okay thanks! 🙂
no problem
