maybe it might help?
old tusk
as it's not something I cant really represent in that screenshot it sends
but k I'll do that anyway
terse delta
Well you can describe it and it also sends them your save file
near canopy
I’ve done so many runs and still haven’t gotten boldy XD
noble tulip
same 😦
terse delta
tbh it took me good 100 hours to open all the companions
they really take quite a while
near canopy
Too long imo
noble tulip
whats the best companion in your opinion?
terse delta
I generally use bouldy for heals tbh; but most of the time I simply forget they exist
reef brook
not sure if this is where to put this but i downloaded the new update just now and restarted steam and i dont see the new weapon available to be equipped. Do i have to unlock it somehow?
knotty epoch
die once
terse delta
and well it took me 100h mostly because of Thanatos being a binch before the previous big update and appearing once every umpteen runs or so
knotty epoch
then you can buy it
terse delta
rancid crown
Big props to the devs for the new weapon - it's insanely fun to play! Really reminds me of certain playstyles I loved in other games
terse delta
it should take you however many runs it will take you to max out Sisyphus' relationships
noble tulip
bet it feels like playing doomfist
near canopy
I have it maxed
harsh fulcrum
SO does the dual shot artemis perk not work with other casts?
terse delta
what
noble tulip
huh thats weird
rancid crown
More like monk in Diablo and Y like rising sun Kick in wow (monk) @noble tulip :D
terse delta
Reynolds, you eventually will get a dialogue in which you'll discuss how to set Sisyphus free from his punishment
mint pendant
yo, is it just me, or is thanatos OP as hell now
terse delta
you'll need to get 10 diamonds and buy out his contract
harsh fulcrum
I got offered to change it to Aphrodite, I did because I needed the aoe damage, but now it is not dealing the extra damage from dual shot
noble tulip
thanny always felt op before the update
mint pendant
he had like, 3 enemies in a single moment marked for death
then spawned the circle of death around 4 enemies BEFORE they even spawned
terse delta
That do be like that sometimes
noble tulip
i wonder if they nerfed those guys in the river of styx
terse delta
which ones
mint pendant
so i couldn't even damage them before he nuked them
noble tulip
the spitters and rats
terse delta
neh
noble tulip
the lil rats are fine
rancid crown
I have Skelly at the point where I can't give ambrosia anymore and I don't know how to proceed with him. He's my highest rep
And first
terse delta
vernal wagon
bruh I thought the patch was only gonna come out in 2 days
this is a wonderful piece of news to get home from work to
mint pendant
oh, how do you actually get the arthur blade?
oh wait, probably better to ask in the spoilers section
pastel nacelle
someone talk me out of commissioning hades!nyx and smite!nyx together
cause they both got bomb ass designs 
opaque nexus
I will commision them more for a blank piece of paper
pastel nacelle
but money
I just spend 90 bucks on doom
and 50 on arknights
I just want gun angel goddammit
opaque nexus
wait, that many people think deep pockets is better than the alternative?
wispy lodge
How can I know how many successful escapes I've had?
harsh fulcrum
doesn't the pool in Zag's room tell you?
knotty epoch
maybe they added it to the reflection pool thing?
wispy lodge
Oh right
knotty epoch
i know people mentioned that as feedback but it only mentioned attempts before
mint pendant
nah, it just tells the number of escape attempts and kills, I thought?
might have added it though, didn't check
stray jay
the new update has been so much fun 😄
trail void
I am running Aspect of Zagreus on Fists and Lambent Plume, oh boy!
dark widget
gloves together with doom is hilerious
stray jay
gloves are fun as well the new sword aspect
stray jay
dam thats nice combo
dark widget
oop
rustic imp
Hey does anyone else not like the new boon look when you pick them up or in the shop?
dark widget
I had the gun with extra ammo, zeus lightning and artemis arrows yesterday
the room became such a mess lmao
trail void
Hermes: How fast do you want to go?
Zagreus: Yes.
stray jay
i actually like the new boon look
brazen linden
the rest is just passive buffs
dark widget
@rustic imp lotsa people agree, me included
brazen linden
oh yeah and the shoryu-kick combo is good for the gloves too
dark widget
too cartoony/mobile game-esque
dark widget
I liked the mystical look they had
brazen linden
so yeah ora-ora my dad until he installed the skulls, then ora-ora those for a couple seconds, then back to dad, the shoryu-kicking to get to places
dark widget
sometimes you gotta ora-ora daddy
rustic imp
Honestly the boons now looks like it could've come out of sly cooper
brazen linden
never got to use the calls, and almost forgot to use my cast
won it anyway
and in record time
trail void
15% Bonus attack speed and dodge chance on Aspect of Zagreus + The added 17% Dodge Chance and Movement Speed I have on Plume. Plus Doom Affects on Attack. Literally punch shades into oblivion before they can even fathom what happened.
azure moat
am I the only one having serious volume issues
I can't hear anyone's voices. Just Zagreus.
If i press my ear to the speaker i can BARELY make out Hades' voice, but I'm stuck reading text boxes for everyone else
graceful summit
Hi, guys. The readme doesn't list the requirements to be ale to post in feedback - can anyone tell me if it's gated by time or if only certain people can post there?
I joined this discord because of a major issue about the last patch I wanted to bring to the dev's attention.
blissful monolith
you have to add the role in the bot-commands channel
graceful summit
Thanks!
azure moat
would a serious audio issue go in the tech support channel?
proud silo
Is there any reason I cannot unlock the new aspect of the blade?
I did unlock the spear aspect and all the blade aspect
azure moat
i'm having the same problem
im stuck reading the text boxes. Which would be fine, but I'm missing the voice acting and I'm not going to see that dialogue again
drowsy arch
alt tabbing in and out fixed it :P
azure moat
seriously
that's it
i'll fire the game back up in a bit
im taking a break
i wanna unlock the new weapon
I love gauntlets
Now I can punch Theseus right in his smug face
I really want the third aspect of the gauntlets to be Cerberus. Give me puppy paws
proud silo
got a really broken combo
With the gauntlet
I got weaken on them
And then I got the 15% chance to charm when i weaken
It's funny to see the hydra fighting itself
grave hearth
literal ouroboros
chrome heron
wait i have the update but i dont see the gauntlets
theres just an empty slot there
knotty epoch
you have to die once first
chrome heron
i did
knotty epoch
did you have the bow unlocked?
outer path
I cant really get the arthur aspect
chrome heron
found them
outer path
I just finished a run with a sword
Am I like, unlucky or Am I still lacking something
I have all aspects already
finished a run with a sword
loud thunder
Is there any news on the dev stream? Why didn't they do it this time?
knotty epoch
you have the aspects levelled?
outer path
which aspect though?
knotty epoch
the sword ones
knotty epoch
you need ||at least 5 titan blood spent on the sword aspects||
outer path
more than 5 already
knotty epoch
if you've done that then, rng ¯_(ツ)_/¯
outer path
do I distribute it
knotty epoch
it doesn't matter which ones
jovial nimbus
Chaos really like to see us this update, hah?
I see them like 6 times in a run right now
half cobalt
where do i submit bugs?
knotty epoch
in game
void dock
My game crashes when I enter the administrative room in the new flashback
Is anyone else having this problem?
gentle cipher
I just want to say I LOVE the Aspect of Arthur. (Also love Guan Yu on the spear) Completely changes the playstyle and it's a lot of fun.
I don't love the change to the boons appearance so much, but I might just need to get used to the difference.
Love all the extra aesthetics to wells of charon and on the pact of punishment screens.
The Mirror changes are really interesting. I tried my first run today with all the new options aaaand promptly died quite early haha. Definitely mixes up the game in good way though!
Great update!
trim surge
Fists are
crystal plume
very fun to use
trim surge
awkward to use, but that's an issue with how unsafe short range is vs long range
brazen sky
Yes, the Well of Charon looks amazing now, but i am not so happy with the boon appearance either :<
trim surge
fighting swarms of chariots is almost impossible with fists
proud silo
I still don't know why I can't get the new blade aspect
rustic imp
But besides that ehh everything takes way too long
proud silo
help
rustic imp
Nyx gives it to you
proud silo
When?
rustic imp
Idk I won 1 run and I got it
proud silo
Cause I keep talking to her and she doesn't
chilly stump
Check the pins in hades-spoilers for some other instructions. 👍
proud silo
I saw that you need to unlock all the other sword aspects and the spear one
but I did
and I just don't have it
Do I have to level up to level one the baseline aspect of the blade too?
rustic imp
And then talk to nyx she has to have a exclamation mark that's not like the normal ones
chilly stump
Go ahead and and share your experience on the bug reporter, if you have the time! If something wonky is going on we'll have to figure out what it is. 👍
sudden pike
what do you guys think the best aspect for the fists are
rustic imp
Magnetic imo
rustic imp
Yeah first one is really solid as well
elfin pagoda
does anyone know what needs to be done in order to give artemis the 6th heart ?
proud silo
and the dodge chance can get pretty high, again, with the right build
@elfin pagoda What does the heart look like?
rustic imp
My favorite is still shield since it's super broken
elfin pagoda
its locked
proud silo
I think you need an ambrosian thingy?
scarlet jolt
So how does fists place so far?
rustic imp
Pretty bad
elfin pagoda
I know with the other characters you had to do them a favor
scarlet jolt
And can we romance artemis yet
frigid canopy
fists 's deadalus upgrade are pretty uninspiring too
rustic imp
Yeah the third upgrade shouldn't even be upgrade worthy
tight pawn
what does the new gods chosen do?
tropic brook
Yooooo Moros hype! Can't wait to see him
I imagine he'll play like Thanatos as a random encounter. Maybe he makes the room smaller and smaller so you have to hurry and clear before it kills you.
grand oasis
Is there anything Darren Korb can't do? I just found out he voices Zag.
frigid canopy
spoiler ? @tropic brook
grand oasis
Oops.
tropic brook
At the end of the patch notes, I think they more or less leaked it. They've been saying they have one more character they'd like to add before 1.0 and it's not an olympian.
grand oasis
I didn't mean to spoil the VA.
strange crypt
Is there a cap on dodge?
tropic brook
but I'm just speculating, no confirmed spoiler here!
oblique ivy
I speculate that zagremus will punch hypnos in the throat
cold wraith
after reading these patch notes I never realised chaos boons weren’t active on a boss, played a few of them as if they were

Hey, does anyone know if stubburn defiance stacks with regular defiance?
Or can I only use one at time?

only one at a time

How long until Hades is completely done? I ask because my friends only want to start playing until its finished
brave zinc
There's a lot of stuff you can do to 100% the game
flat vapor
sometime later this year
brave zinc
oh, you meant in terms of development
cursive onyx
is the update called the nighty night update or the night night update
rotund finch
The only think we know is 2020
But probably a while yet, cause the next update is in June, and after that who knows? That might be the last one before 1.0 or it night not
cursive onyx
steam shows it as night night
rotund finch
Nighty night
tropic brook
@cold wraith I did not realize this either and feel they in no way make this clear.
@cold wraith Actually I think they do affect. The roiling buff specifically mentioned is about number of enemies and it just means we won't face multiple bosses.
grand oasis
I wanted to make a suggestion but I can't post in there. How come
cursive onyx
they lock it so its not a constant stream
grand oasis
Oh.
cerulean iris
#hades-suggestions is closed to everyone for now, #hades-feedback requires you to assign yourself the early access role & read the guidelines
brave zinc
Anyone have a list of the benefit package's buffs and what they do? I'm guessing not
what the hell
I just got a legendary Huge Catch boon from Poseidon that increases the fish chance in rooms
...
cursive onyx
oh thats a new one
brave zinc
GIMME THE REGULAR SMASH ON ATTACK INSTEAD YOU STINGY UNCLE
proud silo
when they say "Unlock blade's aspects first" they don't mean like, all the aspects to max level?
brave zinc
I LITTERALLY HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS
proud silo
Right?
brave zinc
I HAVE TO PICK IT
proud silo
It's just the first time L.K btw
brave zinc
Alright
proud silo
just to show it off
brave zinc
I was hoping they wouldn't lock me down each time with single-option-only boon in the first room
phew
proud silo
also am I seriously the only one that can't freaking unlock the sword?
This is insane
No matter where I look people just, get it
cursive onyx
i know how you feel
frigid canopy
nope same problem
cursive onyx
havent updated the game yet, but im sure ill not be able to get it
ab+ wont run for me either
brave zinc
For anyone wondering about the benefits package
It's very strong
very, very strong
becareful when you mix this up with the one that speeds up enemies attack
proper hull
fav twin fist aspect so far guys?
brave zinc
ah man Chaos is giving me low rarity boons
Did they make it so he's not affected by Mirror?
coral heron
Omg did demeter used to use the fists
limpid bough
is there new punchy thing
latent quartz
Ye
limpid bough
where can i get new punchy thing
coral heron

latent quartz
She smacked Kronos(?) with em once
frigid canopy
Hyperion i think
latent quartz
@limpid bough just start a run, they’ll be there when you get back
coral heron
Badass
halcyon radish
It is because of Dionysus and the new gauntlets that I can finally realize my dream of being a drunk punching maniac
midnight bay
gauntlets are fun
proud silo
Gauntlets feel like playing Kharazim in Heroes of the Storm
brave zinc
bruh I used to main Lharazim
proud silo
Does anyone know if stuff affecting the special also affect the... New effect of the sword
like special reflecting
real fiber
Only the initial hit from what I can tell.
real fiber
I'm really enjoying the new move set and the low but stupid hard hits of excalibur
(Its really just a reversed moved set from the normal aspects>.>)
rocky crater
Oh my I like the new weapon. The magnetic aspect plus the zuess + festive fog. Pulling them into a thunderstorm and beating the eff out of them
real fiber
Gloves and excalibur are amazingly fun so far. I'm licking them way more then guan yu tbh
rocky crater
Although I think I did find a bug, I got the "exclusive access" boon making every boon a minimum of "epic," then I got the boon from Euridyce that upgrades the next 3 boon's rarity, but they were just epic
It still proc'd the ambrosia boon
or whatever it is
real fiber
That's weird>.>
rocky crater
Maybe it's intended, this run is crazy. The DPS is...crazy. I think the hammer boon for the gloves is a typo, dash attack does +1000% armor damage? with that and the lightning festive fog boon I absolutely REKT hydra
real fiber
Anyone else trying to figure out if infernal or Stygian is better with hera?
proud silo
@rocky crater ever got the one that ramps up damage on the fists?
leaden portal
@flint phoenix Hey, just wanted to let you know that you and your art team knocked it out of the park on Nyx's design. She is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks so much for the amazing work you do.
leaden portal
Do a run and it should show up aftr.
carmine pecan
oh aight ima die fast
proud silo
I got that, + the one that increases the range and damage of the attack, and it got really stupid when I got hangover on attack and frost on my cast, combined with zeus' call + the thing when I cast a call I deal more damage, AND I got the thing to charge call faster AND since I could put 2 curses I was dealung even more damage
let's just say... I may have melted hades
Look at those devs
really hard at work rn

Damn I love how the new weapon feels to play with

Does anyone know how to get the new sword aspect?

i think it's in the aspects menu? dont remember atm
oh wait, go down to #h1-story-discussion , they have how to get it in there

How can I get the access to the feedback chat? thx.

@plush dagger thx dude.
mild needle
update drop at 1am and i cant play, now im stuck at work for another 8h
grrrrrrrrrrr
timezone sucks
proud silo
@round light if you're stuggling to get it, make sure you have upgraded the sword's base aspect to level 1, as that may not count as unlocked, do the same for the spear if you're not sure, and then... Die, Die and die and die
It took me like 7 runs killed at the first room until nyx was willing ti speak to me about it
mild needle
storm wraith
soft cove
Wait
The patch notes don't mention that they increased Chaos shield zues aspect damage by 50%
soft cove
It went from 30 damage ->45
mild needle
i ran a athena chaos build with deflect special and dash
pretty much invunerable all the time
soft cove
Oh I like he zues aspect a lot haha
mild needle
i did the first run with zeus aspect yesterday
its kinda slow
i guess
but the damage is there
west chasm
Just play Arthur
mild needle
still at work for another 8h

Best weapon EASY

Weak

Excalibur is cool

ok stop
west chasm
Why
mild needle
hmm
west chasm
🤔
mild needle
ok, so what do you have
plush dagger
AFAIK you're free to talk about it in #h1-builds-and-combat or #h1-story-discussion @west chasm
opaque nexus
So what do you guys think of this update
west chasm
I mean i ain't talking about stuff if want me to not
opaque nexus
My thoughts are similar to what last major update was like
plush dagger
LMAO
mild needle
what happened to guan yu
opaque nexus
Very promising but they need a few days to balance everything
mild needle
oh the phasing
opaque nexus
Spin doesn’t go through walls
opaque nexus
No
plush dagger
it isn't in bug fixes section so, it wasn't
mild needle
the zeus aspect on shield doesnt phase through walls
opaque nexus
I wish they made the spin projectile last longer to compensate
opaque nexus
It was intentional
mild needle
either way i hate playing with spin on spear
plush dagger
so you can't take massive spin for extra dmg now?
mild needle
so idc that much
plush dagger
because that'd make your smaller charges get stuck too
mild needle
i never use the spin
opaque nexus
Fists need a little more damage
fair prairie
My only win with fists (12 heat) so far has been with dots
opaque nexus
What’s the best attack boon for fists
plush dagger
doesn't do that much damage for the ammount of time you're left flying in the air
quiet lake
I agree with the special, but I do really like rush kick
plush dagger
yeah fist hammers are sick
opaque nexus
What’s the one people are raving about?
Guys wanna know the absolute best part of this update
plush dagger
anything Hypnos related is the best part of every update
opaque nexus
BUDGET CUTS IS GONE
plush dagger
oh right
opaque nexus
That was probably the worst designed pact effect
brave zinc
It's replaced with something else
plush dagger
No Choice though
opaque nexus
You lost like 85% of your mirror with a single upgrade
No choice yeah
New reroll kinda helps ig
plush dagger
everyone : ''I don't like No Choice as a pact condition''
SGG: ''We heard you loud and clear. We changed the name of it!''
brave zinc
I liked the old budget cuts
opaque nexus
That’s my only issue
brave zinc
Had more of a choice aspect to it
Also why does your name say RIP Guan Yu? Did it get nerfed?
Speaking of nerfed dionosys dash common is 2 damage per tick :/
opaque nexus
Aspects that make the player worse<aspects that make the game itself harder
In terms of enjoyment
brave zinc
hmmm maybe it'll be good for the tryhards
opaque nexus
If you get what I mean
pliant dagger
Did anyone get Poseidon legendary fishing boon on their very first run after the update or was it just me
plush dagger
totally intentional
plush dagger
I don't understand what it did though
is it... permanent? or will I have the chance to roll that god-awful boon in the future?
opaque nexus
Gotta love poseidon always looking out for the new fishermen even if it kills us
And no it’s only that once
brave zinc
ah man, you can't combo the last hit with the fist weapon with Q
pliant dagger
Does it mean he has two legendary boons then??
brave zinc
But you can do it any time before that
pliant dagger
plush dagger
yesn't
opaque nexus
Guys I got insider info from SGG
The last weapon is a fishing rod
All the aspects are poseidon in different shirts
plush dagger
I want to post in feedback about the new weapon but it isn't positive feedback and I'll probably get downvoted to hell for not waiting at least a day
opaque nexus
Nah people have issues with the fist weapons
mild needle
dont worry we got chu
knotty epoch
There's a bit of not positive feedback about the weapon in there
I'll upvote it if it's not an unreasonable thing
opaque nexus
zero 6.8
plush dagger
8 for me
quiet lake
8
plush dagger
good gameplay-wise, lackluster design-wise
knotty epoch
7; Man, that special slow down
opaque nexus
Give it a bit more deeps and we got ourselves a deal
mild needle
So whats the 10 weapon in your opinion so far (or like, aspects)
opaque nexus
Guan Yu poseidon in terms of concept and design even though I don’t enjoy it much
plush dagger
objectively? chaos shield
personally? Hera Bow
knotty epoch
hard agree with keeper
opaque nexus
Personally guan yu obviously
brave zinc
I like this weapon but I have to test it out more
swift quest
stygian nemisis aspect, that crit chance man
brave zinc
I give it a solid 5/7
opaque nexus
It’s okay boy you will still be the best in my heart
even though guan yu was never the best
But yeah poseidon sword is just such a cool idea of making a melee weapon into a cast weapon
Absolute genius
I’m not the biggest fan but I appreciate it
plush dagger
I give it to Chaos Aspect shield becaue Block +BIG AoE & range damage + multiple hits
basically everything you'd want for high heat
opaque nexus
Oh I was talking best designed not best for winning
knotty epoch
I can't remember how chaos special works in this regard. Can you start attacking again after any shield returns or does it need to be the main one?
mild needle
yeah chaos is super strong, i agree
plush dagger
poseidon lacks defense but its probably the second best just because of sheer amounts of damage
swift quest
dont need to defend if u just kill everyone before they hit you
junior wave
I finally beat Hades without dying once!
opaque nexus
Given it a unique attack
junior wave
I usually go through two defiance easily
opaque nexus
Made it so the best strat isn’t ditching spin entirely for rapid jab
plush dagger
I don't think its that bad imo, people tend to assume that is Spin-based when all you really need is one uncharged spin and that's it
opaque nexus
Hades aspect gets a 0.66/10
junior wave
And I did it using all of the alternate mirror upgrades
mild needle
i still gonna do a run with hades because i want to hear the interaction
swift quest
congrats purble
junior wave
Thanks butters!
plush dagger
I feel the same way you feel about Hades Aspect, but with Twin Fists weapon
mild needle
whats the best weapon for forced overtime and tight deadline
opaque nexus
Oh I’m actually gonna have to lower my fist rating
To a 0
Because no hadouken input
opaque nexus
Helldouken™️
swift quest
my first thought was that the fists were just doomfist 2.0.
opaque nexus
Patent pending
swift quest
very fun
knotty epoch
I really still feel like a 1,2,3,4 light attack combo should've been the attack and like a 1,2,3 heavy attack combo should've been the special
brave zinc
bruh
knotty epoch
imagine if they made the fist require a fight stick
mild needle
that would make kbm less playable
opaque nexus
Wait this gives me an idea
plush dagger
as I said, gameplay-wise? Great
Design-wise it didn't live up to the hype
I feel like everything it should have in its base design is locked behind Hammers & Aspects, and they didn't do anything remarkable besides adding a Dash-Special (Which has the right idea, but that's about it)
mild needle
opaque nexus
Do you guys know the game rivals of aether. It’s like smash but indie. However, there’s steam workshop compatibility. Somebody could make Zagreus in that game and give him a full moveset
mild needle
make your opinions heard
brave zinc
It feels like Malphon is what the sword SHOULD have been
knotty epoch
You can just discuss them first and then we can tell you if you sound stupid
If not, then you can go through with it worry free
uncut gull
aspect of hades is my fave spear aspect tho
is it an unpopular opinion to hate guan yu
because i hate it
plush dagger
just in case you missed my previous rant, I talked about how the BASE Twin Fists lack any rule-breaking mechanic besides dash-special, and how some of the Hammer Upgrades should've outright been part of the kit instead of locked behind Hammers/Aspects
I'm glad they went for the fast melee weapon. That's what I wanted. But it doesn't feel like it does anything new to the game (its OBVIOUSLY new and it plays different, yes, but ignoring Dash-Special, when does it do something that we hadnt already seen?)
Combo-oriented melee weapon with different inputs would've been innovative, for example
knotty epoch
I think literally the first thing I said about it was "it's flurry sword with a cone nova"
plush dagger
as soon as I picked it felt like Adamant Rail 2.0
but technically better at base since you can't miss and you stun
mild needle
brave zinc
Does Chaos have a legendary boon?
brave zinc
What's the condition?
uncut gull
ive literally never gotten it lol
plush dagger
it's a free Death Defiance slot, with the Death Defiance included
you need at least 1 Chaos boon
mild needle
and buy portals from shop
livid phoenix
Oh no new Nyx is gorgeous
uncut gull
new nyx has no right to be this hot
livid phoenix
I support it
swift quest
hades could quite easily and comfortably turn into a dating sim at this point LMAO
knotty epoch
game idea: hades high, the prequel dating sim featuring petty high school romance of zag, meg, than, and more maybe

escaping hell is just a metaphor for ditching class to see ur friends from other schools

Ok well out of the update my goals are to get orpheus his wife back and to see what the admin room is
And not sure how to do either
mild needle
permanent record pog
brave zinc
Didn't someone say you can chain special with dash attack on Malphon? How exactly do I do it or maybe I just don't have the muscle memory?
mild needle
i can see my past runs now?
brittle iris
im mighty fast
20% speed from well + 40% from hermes and another 100% after dashing from hermes
swift quest
yep, some stuff appears redacted but i think thats just when u use zag aspects in runs
oak knot
hades, ori 2 and halo combat evolved, oh boy overloaded
oak knot
it comes out today
oak knot
have you done the purchase of the game ori 2 yet
oak knot
fair fair but i don't see any difference if you buy the game day one, or you're gonna wait a few days
narrow hemlock
gonna be honest, it makes me kinda sad that everyone is so divided on the new boon looks. Seeing people say they look "cheap" now, which I disagree with, idk. At the end of the day it's all personal preference but I kinda prefer the idea that the boons the olympian gods send to the underworld, underneath the earth aren't necessarily some solid, weighty looking item like how they came off previously. I guess if we can compromise on a mix between the old and new 🤔
brave zinc
I'm looking at the aspect of Talos and I can't help but think of the guy that shouts in Skyrim's whiterun
lucid sequoia
new is best, done
brave zinc
Anything that's mostly better?
I was looking at the new dodge, thought it's a massive improvement
alpine stratus
i suspect were all just like AAAH CHANGE IS BAD , myself included 😂
knotty epoch
some of it definitely needs getting used to, but i feel people have brought up some pretty valid complaints
alpine stratus
like, its not always bad!! but its always uncomfortable-to-upsetting, depending on your personality. i hate the new boons too but i suspect ill get used to them.
narrow hemlock
Honestly I liked them from the moment I saw them, but again it's personal preference. But nosing around steam forum and feedback channel here, it's definitely something everyone is heavily divided on currently
lucid sequoia
yeah, I'm in love with the new ones
brave zinc
New boons were added?
knotty epoch
shoutout to the cutest shades: construction shades on the side of the blueprint in the new contractor UI
lucid sequoia
idk
vocal thorn
Boons have a new graphic that makes them easier to see
oak knot
does anyone have a pic of the new boon, i can't access the game rn
nimble ocean
something that I want to pick up
lucid sequoia
exactly
nimble ocean
juicy colors are good
brittle iris
i like the boons
opaque nexus
I wish you could toggle it
Or they made all pickups look like that
A 3d rotating daedalus hammer for example
placid dagger
Just finished a very long session...the fists seem janky and broken in an OP way, the special attack hitbox is gigantic. Getting deflect on Fist Special makes the game an absolute breeze because youre basically in god mode when you mash the special attack. I beat the minotaur and the minotaur+1 fight without getting hit at all for the first time cause of it
lucid sequoia
the idea of a floating rotating hammer does put a smile on my face
mild needle
isnt rotating pickup icons
traditional style
like even in arcade games
and snes i think
opaque nexus
Better than a png of a hammer
lucid sequoia
i also thought about that
mild needle
his sprite was the standard shade with a hood
i havent opened the game so idk if his model is updated
olive lake
Hey, does anyone know what the "triathlete" tag means?
it's on the victory screen (like "close call" when you win with 1hp etc)
stiff ruin
How do you guys feel about Nyx becoming a milf?
lucid sequoia
tricky question
modern garnet
Tread carefully
iron heron
She looks vaguely more sinister now and the first dialogue I had with her since the update was her being mean to Dusa.
lucid sequoia
yeah she does that

Hi, I was just wondering if there has been any updates on hades coming to console. The game looks fun but I’m not sure if I should buy it now or wait for a console release. The FAQ says it should be released sometime in 2020 so just wanted to see if there is any more info.
unreal falcon
mild needle
it should be coming to console after it comes out of early access
supergiant titles tend to be on many platforms
with controller support in the game right now too
porting it should be expected
finite ember
how do you get the new excalibur aspect?
tame star
uh sorry if the question is dumb but how does one unlock the excalibur aspect
west chasm
@finite ember ||Get Zag aspect complete and then you'll be able to unlock it||
@tame star look at spoiler
finite ember
thanks!
mild needle
if i progress the storyline with orpheus
that takes priority over the lyre
and because i can only talk to orpheus once every run
the lyre quest got pushed down
i tested it
and intentionally died
before meeting his spouse
and i advanced the quest
west chasm
I have 15 blood ready at all time
tame star
im a crazed rat as soon as I get enough for something I buy it
currently I have all the rugs much to my regret
lucid sequoia
if I had the time to play a full run on one go
mild needle
i have all the portraits
lucid sequoia
west chasm
@tame star may i DM you an image that fits this
tame star
sure
mild needle
question: How long do you have to play the game to have enough darkness to max the mirror
just an estimate is fine
finite ember
I have around 33 hours and almost everything in the mirror is maxed for me
lucid sequoia
about 48 seconds if you're not a casual
finite ember
missing around 450 darkness to max
mild needle
did you max reroll
tame star
@mild needle well starting out you will want to hound darkness at every chance but after a while you lose track and gather it naturally
mild needle
i mean, you only need like 3-4k darkness to get everything essential
buut the boons and reroll
mild needle
needs like 200k darkness to max
stiff ruin
Basically more than you can farm in one run
tame star
plus in the new patch more darkness options are there so more darkness
mild needle
fated authority alone needs 165k to max
last 5 levels are 10k/20k all the way to 50k darkness each
plush dagger
wow it took me like an hour to write something that didn't surpass the 2000 character limit
tame star
oh I have a question I had something happen in a game but not sure what channel to post it on
I had a fish in asphodel be behind the boat and I couldnt see the bob
lusty stump
Oh yeah you can talk about that in #hades-feedback with provided screenshot.
dawn pumice
what are you gamers thinking about the new patch
lusty stump
I am honestly liking it so far.
dawn pumice
the new boon look throws me off lol
but games great as always
did rate of darkness appearance go up in chambers?
west chasm
Nah
It's the same
You actually get a lot of darkness when you go for dark thirst and focus more on actually getting it with troves and chamber rewards
blissful monolith
That seems to be the general consensus 😛
mild needle
In before Charon turns out to be a super hot guy equal to thanatos
worn glade
I just wanna say that I didn't think I could love this game more than I already did but boy was I wrong! Hades is turning to be one of my most faviroute games ever 
blissful monolith
Charon is super swole from always rowing that boat
mild needle
and mega rich
brisk mulch
wonder where charon wouldve got his money if not for zag
mild needle
the dead needs to pay him
blissful monolith
shades have to pay him, yeah
mild needle
to be able to go to the underworld
blissful monolith
the real question is what he does with all that gold
Does he have a lair somewhere where he can swim in money like a dragon?
stone marsh
brittle iris
make charon happy
mild needle
or sleep
blissful monolith
it's to stop poor people getting into the gentrified parts of the underworld
what a grift
mild needle
you still have to be seperated by social class after you die
what a tragedy
and here every philosopher is like
only death is equal to everyone
blissful monolith
there's a conversation between Orpheus and Achilles where Orpheus expresses happiness at having a stable job even after dying and that struck me as pretty sad
not even death can free you from work apparently 😛
oak knot
Orpheus just sitting around and chilling all day, he can sing whenever he is in the mood
rotund finch
@fast cove ruthless reflex adds a dodge chance as well as damage for 2 sec, so you might have still had effect from the last dodge
blissful monolith
until Hades gets bored of him and puts him in the pits for fun
oak knot
Hades is pretty chill tbh, he only scolds Hypnos a bit for sleeping while on duty and that probably happens every single day
blissful monolith
Hades is certainly better than Zagreus makes out; he's a bit of an unreliable narrator
He's not exactly a great dad but hardly a tyrant
rotund finch
Though Hades seems to be much harder on Zagreus on top of that, and much more consistently so at least towards Zag he can be a bit much
oak knot
yeah he treats others quite fairly i must say
blissful monolith
I totally agree on him being hard on Zag in particular
lost wren
Thoughts on Nyx redesign anyone?
blissful monolith
😍
lost wren
I personally didn't visualize her in that way when I heard her lines but I'm sure I'll get used to it!
I guess that means Charon is also due for a design change as he has the same profile that Nyx used to have
blissful monolith
there is a bit of a disconnect between the voice and the portrait now, yeah
the new portrait feels like it could do with a more expressive voice to go with it
oak knot
i still remember Nyx's laugh
rich yacht
they made nyx unreasonably hot and i'm here for it
void vigil
the hooded portraits are placeholders, so any characters that have them will have a finished portrait eventually!
i think charon is the only one left though
oak knot
makes me wonder why Nyx's portrait took so long
zealous timber
@knotty epoch yes, we're still working on the models for some of the NPCs.
knotty epoch
ooh thanks for the reply!
deft cypress
woah
knotty epoch
I'm really excited to see some of those portraits model-ized then :)
deft cypress
Remembered Sisyphus was also hooded guy with a big stone-buddy before 😄
jade grove
Charon got teased
lost wren
Have you get the image @jade grove?
I'm curious as to what they look like
Also, the grunts honestly do match the hooded figure
lost wren
I see
Alright, caught the tease at 1:12
I would send a pic but I don't have permissions
knotty epoch
I can't believe they're adding Cad Bane to the game
jade grove
Bloodborne-ass hat he has
lost wren
Also, is there a general agreement that Artemis has the best boons? I haven't discussed it with any Hades* players but in my experience the crit chance is definitely a really powerful tool
void vigil
blissful monolith
sweet hat
uncut gull
i know thats like an oar
knotty epoch
alma abusing that mod power with a direct upload 
sweet badge
Artemis has very versatile boons that fit with basically any weapon.
She also has some of the best caster boons.
void vigil
im helping!
blissful monolith
Artemis is definitely among my favourite boons
lost wren
Ah definitely @sweet badge, the Greater call does so much damage to bosses
knotty epoch
you are! it's just jokes 
void vigil
i know i know
sweet badge
I actually almost never pick her Greater Call. I find it too unreliable.
onyx meadow
its a really great damage nuke if you save it for the right time
lost wren
In small encounters I never get the* chance to charge up a greater call but in boss encounters it's crazy good
sweet badge
If I'm looking for a nuke, I just feel safer with Aphrodite.
jade grove
Artemis is the best support god, but not that amazing by herself
lost wren
@sweet badge What's Aphrodite's Greater Call? I've never used hers
sweet badge
So which Aspect are we maxing on fists?
void vigil
only true artemis fans remember.... old artemis dash......
sweet badge
It's a charm, but it does a huge nuke on bosses.
blissful monolith
What did the old dash do?
lost wren
I know the current Artemis dash just gives you a flat damage boost on your Dash attacks
lost wren
What don't you like about the new ones?
sweet badge
Also, am I the only one who finds Artemis' cast underwhelming?
void vigil
i dont even remember what the old dash did but i just remember it was a must pick
i think maybe it made every dash-attack crit?
sonic sentinel
Teaser could be Hecate with a torch, though Charon's definitely posible. Alternatively, Gungeon gunslinger with a broom. That's also a gun.
rotund finch
Wasn't it a crit chance?
scarlet jolt
Just dont like the weird overview angle they have, they are way too bright for that
lost wren
I think this is a classic case of being used to something @scarlet jolt
void vigil
i dont think there are any new gods upcoming, raze
lost wren
Give it a few days and you might warm up to it
sweet badge
Yeah, I also prefer the old ones. But, I can see the appeal with the new ones.
scarlet jolt
The symbol is enveloped in the light, maybe I'll get used to it
blissful monolith
the new boons look like mobile game icons - it's the 3D revolving effect that pushes them over
scarlet jolt
Rest of the update seems great
blissful monolith
they're a lot harder to read than the old icons
scarlet jolt
Just that one thing erks me
rotund finch
I dont like how small the new boons are and the ring looks weird to me lol
I love the fire and the trail towards the sky + the colors shifting in it
scarlet jolt
I'm really hyped for reunited orpheus with his wife though
Just need to figure out how
lost wren
I saw that in the prophecies too @scarlet jolt!
void vigil
its nuts how much the game changed
scarlet jolt
I'm assuming someone will have figured it out by tomorrow
lost wren
I assumed that we could connect them by talking to both of them and following the chain?
void vigil
and keeps changing
scarlet jolt
Yea thankfully they only slightly nerfed chiron bow
lost wren
Yeah, it's insane @void vigil
A benefit of being on Early Access is that we're here for the ride
scarlet jolt
But I was never really comfortable with charge shot hammer, even if I have to admit it was probably really good
void vigil
i have this video from december and just like, visually, it looks soo different
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpHzyKGoG2c
scarlet jolt
So a nerf to everyone who used it properly
So how good are the fists?funny enough I actually dont have the keys for it yet
void vigil
i remember when you could have so many boons they would go off the screen lol
scarlet jolt
That sounds glorious
sweet badge
The fists are pretty good. I'm just not sure which Aspect to go for.
scarlet jolt
Still not sure how to unlock Arthur aspect
rotund finch
Talos aspect for the fists is really fun in my opinion
lost wren
Yo! Josuke
deep pivot
Nice new avatar and name, alma!
blissful monolith
Talos brings back memories of the Loader from Risk of Rain
the old one-two punch
void vigil
ty, i love nyx's new look :]
scarlet jolt
Yea but I dont think they will just hand the new one over like they did with spear
lost wren
Btw what are your go-tos for Keepsakes everyone?
I personally like the Artemis keepsake, the Eurydice keepsake, and Skully's keepsake (In that order usually)
scarlet jolt
The effects look cool but I dont know the moveset
blissful monolith
the artists have really outdone themselves; all of the portraits in this game are gorgeous but Nyx's is especially so
scarlet jolt
I like artemis and aphro, and broken spearpoint
sweet badge
The models also look fantastic. I hope they won't have to go back and update the older ones.
scarlet jolt
But with chiron bow dionusys is a fun start
blissful monolith
I tend to overuse Broken Spearpoint
although I usually use god keepsakes in the first two chambers if I want specific gods
uncut gull
i used to only run nyx -> skelly in the last area
right now im just doing than all the way through
void vigil
i go for spearpoint in styx usually
void vigil
im using them for prophecies rn
scarlet jolt
I just like confirmed opening
void vigil
and to level them up, since i dont have all of them yet maxed...
scarlet jolt
Also does swapping them confirm the next boon will be what I swapped to
uncut gull
the only boon i like enough to want to try and guarantee it is athena dash
scarlet jolt
Or is it only first floor
blissful monolith
the Athena-Ares duo boon still eludes me despite getting the requirements several times
sweet badge
It's the next god boon you encounter is guaranteed to be that god (minus Hermes who is still too fast).
lost wren
@void vigil Psst, if you just equip them then run back and forth to the lobby it counts for the prophecy 👀
scarlet jolt
Say I swapped to Artemis boon in fields would that work for second floor?
lost wren
Unless they patched that this update
void vigil
i know lol, you dont even have to run back and forth 👁️ 👁️ i did it when the prophecies were introduced
i was like.... will it...? and it did
lost wren
Same 😂
scarlet jolt
So yea I'd say my favorite combo is aphro main into diyonisus or artemis special then spearpoint onwards
rich yacht
i didn't realize it worked like that until the last one
void vigil
funny...
rich yacht
"well time to use the aphrodite trinket next then i'll be done- oh i already got it"

i used to be a much better played before i took a long break to rest my hands though :(( now i swear i am dying on purpose to see more narrative events
midnight bay
So how exactly does the unlock for Excalibur work?
void vigil
||i want that autograph!! for hypnos!! i would like it||
midnight bay
And guan yu for that matter, I just got the unlocks for both as soon as both respective updates came out but I don’t know ||how to trigger the dialogue with Achilles/Nyx||
outer path
I have been playing for awhile now but still no sign of arthur's aspect
pls help
I already have the guan yu aspect, and maxed out one of the swords
still no arthur aspect
Am I doing something wrong?
broken sail
all of the people in this game are so attractive
crystal plume
So how does everyone feel about the fists so far?
midnight bay
Magnet hands are fun
I don’t have a good feel for how they stack up against the other weapons though, I’ve only played 2 runs and the first ended up being more of a cast build
spring plaza
@midnight bay Just play and talk with everybody after each run. It will unlock new dialogues and hint at what to do around...or in Hades's house or through hell
novel wasp
im uh not sure abotu the new mirror
some of the skills are now objectively worse than before
midnight bay
I have them both unlocked, I just wanted to know the specifics of how the unlock actually works, though maybe that’s a question best suited for #h1-story-discussion
novel wasp
also as much as i am a fan of damage. I think losing +50hp with no condition whatsoever to a 25% damage increased but needs to have 80%+ health isnt worth it, it worth more on bows i mean they already are good but for sword it mega sucks
I think the reason i won this game the first time is because i have 100 hp instead of 50 in the beginning lol
also without the 50hp you actually gets hurt a lot using chaos and im just bruh
jade grove
@broken sail With Aspect of Talos, you too can be attractive
lost wren
@scarlet jolt I was just playing Hades and I think I know how to reunite Orpheus and Eurydice
scarlet jolt
How so?
novel wasp
didnt chaos portal scaled before, now they take flat 21 hp damage
karmic oasis
I dunno how I feel about the new defiance.
autumn hornet
Sorry if this was asked before but is there a way to view which weapons you’ve earned titan’s blood with?
lost wren
Hades says a line about "Contracts with me are binding until such a time* that they dig themselves out of the archives and tear themselves up" when referring to Orpheus not being allowed to see Eurydice
karmic oasis
I lost to ||Tisiphone|| at 1 heat....
lost wren
So to let them see each other we need to get into the archives
And rip up the contract
novel wasp
@karmic oasis right? some of the choices are objectively worse
scarlet jolt
I'm assuming that would be a contractor thing then
Like his confinement papers
Its 12 over here I'm going to bed
lost wren
It's 1 AM here and I'm still up ☠️
autumn hornet
Oh it’s in the contract lol never mind
lost wren
Good night @scarlet jolt!
scarlet jolt
Hopefully someone will have this figured out
midnight bay
Yeah most of the options feel kind of weird
scarlet jolt
Gnite
midnight bay
Especially the darkness heal over cthonic vitality
novel wasp
new or old
also the fact that i can no longer degrade or upgrade at will kinda piss me off
also, my god, I still hate EM Hydra infact it gave me 4 pink heads
shadow mist
Boy do I despise the new Boon graphics
novel wasp
same. I love what it was before, maybe keep the beam i guess?
i mean chaos is from below why cant the beam be from below though
shadow mist
The rotating 3D symbols look like 90s advertisement CGI
novel wasp
lol im more not the fan of not a round boi anymore
now it looks like great value hershey kisses
stuck comet
I feel like using the gun in this game is just too good
Mmm all the splodeys are great to watch
lost wren
Sorry to digress off-topic but this just came to mind:
I along with most people like the Artemis/Zagreus dynamic but I think it's also worth mentioning that technically Artemis and her followers are on a strict no romance/no men policy
(In Greek mythology)
marsh jackal
Have you tried the eris aspect?
stuck comet
Which one is that, the one that buffs you if you run into the explosion?
lost wren
It's like +1 damage boost(per shot) when you unlock it 👀
stuck comet
It’s good for the occasional bullets in between the bombs
novel wasp
its still meh
if you want real damage go hestia
or be like me who likes more bullets go original
stuck comet
Which one is that?
novel wasp
Hestia gives you more dmg if you manually reload
stuck comet
And also, how do I get more titan blood because I’m super stuck with lvl one
novel wasp
im sorry but ||gitgud||
thats the fastest way
or if you arent a fan of heats, time to play farm simulator 2020 greek edition
and farm those from the trader
lost wren
No but actually, are there any other ways to get Titan Blood other than beating the furies with each weapon?
stuck comet
I’m new and dunno what the heats are
lost wren
And trading
