I mean I don't think he's physically wearing it like that. I think it's a belt.

crude bolt
do you guys know how can i unlock 4th aspect of blade?
worthy egret
invest blood into stygius and wait for nyx to speak about it i think
normal wraith
Honestly give zag's style he could literally just reference the fact it increases his health. "They say it keeps your guts where they should be, you should try it sometime."
crude bolt
it like 3 or 4th run but i couldnt find nyx anywhere
normal wraith
Beat the game with sword post update.
worthy egret
o
normal wraith
It's the same as spear, you need both other forms unlocked though before it counts.
worthy egret
thought: zag getting attached to the cosmic egg and talking to it like to a tamagotchi cause he's never had a pet or anything to take care of that wasnt cerby
chaos hears everything.
normal wraith
I mean he has the little pets people give him, so that's not really necessary.
worthy egret
had this thought before i knew anything about those
i havent gotten any of them yet
guess im shoving nectar into wrong peoples faces
normal wraith
Oh, well they're pretty cool. Adds an entire option to the game you'll completely forget about by the time you could ever have a reason for using it!
(Seriously sometimes I walk into the final chamber and see I haven't used ||batty|| at all.)
worthy egret
i dont know who the companions are yet
im trying to not read the names or anyhting ;.;
normal wraith
Ah, sorry. Anyway do you want a hint on characters you should be focusing nector on for them?
alpine tulip
I don't know if this is legal but sone kind of doom guy aspect on Exagryph would be really cool lul
worthy egret
plus i know about 
plus my way of giving nectar to people is
character: makes me smile
me, immediately: DRINK UP
meg makes me smile by simply existing
normal wraith
Nah, exagryph is definitely a harder weapon to give a hidden aspect but from their explanation of the 4th aspect it's supposed to show where the greek gods go in the future as well their influence. Since they are the actual gods of that world. So making their aspects something to do with a movie or a reference to another video game really wouldn't fit.
alpine tulip
Fair
normal wraith
I've personally hoping for the hidden aspect of the gun to be something to do with WW1
Though I wouldn't be particularly hopeful on it since it's a literal reference to how chemical weapons and flame throwers terrified those in the trenches.
worthy egret
lets not go that way yeah
alpine tulip
I was actually hoping for an Arthur aspect, and I was pleasantly surprised :)
worthy egret
i dont want to be shooting the hydra with a kalashnikov
normal wraith
To be fair under my version of it, it's more like your special releases a bunch of poison traps similar to the 4th floor and your primary fire is a literal flame thrower that can make them explode.
mellow vessel
I don’t really want realistic modern weapons involved but I feel like with exagryph it’s inevitable
normal wraith
The idea being you cover the battlefield in moderately damaging bombs that slow enemies near them, then set them all off in a very explosive chain reaction.
I feel like that'd be a really cool take on how the weapon already works, but it might also be a little op. (But then most 4th aspects are intentionally a little stronger than normal.)
worthy egret
gangplank from league of legends?
proud orbit
Make it aspect of Oda to suit your name, make it closer to a musket than a repeater and make the special through barrels of black powder which can be shot to detonate
Yes essentially lol
normal wraith
I mean I guess there's always, "We have no good comfortable options, so why don't we go with the aspect of the guy who INVENTED the gun."
Which gives them a lot of wiggle room with what exactly it does.
worthy egret
BARREL
brazen isle
Maybe make it a pirate flintlock? Could use Blackbeard. The two hidden aspects we have now are of semi-mythical figures, and Blackbeard was one of them. The special can be a cannonball or smth
normal wraith
Could be interesting but how would the special work exactly?
proud orbit
Guan Yu was a real person
worthy egret
make zag sing a sea shanty and i will accept it
brisk trail
Guan Yu was 300% a real person.
Deified, some stuff was smudged, but he was a real person through and through.
proud orbit
I think it would be similar to rail special with a higher fire rate since you need to detonate them yourself
worthy egret
so youll basically be the urn enemy
brazen isle
Yeah, that’s why I said “semi-mythical”. He was a real person, but a lot of him got mythicized via Romance of the Three Kingdoms
normal wraith
Eh, maybe with a weapon like that they completely shift the special to be throwing out a plum of black power and detonating it.
heavy pendant
Streaming Hades right now
mellow vessel
Maybe it can be a firework launcher
normal wraith
I think they're avoiding repeats on regions.
mellow vessel
Ahh
proud orbit
I thought they would probably try to choose different regions yeah
mellow vessel
Okay then... like some future sci fi weapon or something haha
brisk trail
Okay, but while I would love Aspect of Jayne, can you think of any other famous named guns?
normal wraith
Not going to lie, they could say the weapon got hooked up to a battleship.
normal wraith
I mean if you think about given the 'heavy' style the hidden aspects has I could imagine the weapon having a mechanic where after firing his special Zag gains a 50 point shield over his spot for a few seconds. (Naturally there'd be a cool down.) The idea being while firing he can't move but he can just stand there and take it.
No idea how well that'd play out though, a flat shield that's worth anything against redacted would be op against both the hydras and the furies.
GRANTED, it's not like 40% DR and healing attacks already don't practically nullify their early stages, but still.
jade grove
I still stand by the safe option for Rail being Davy Crockett, and the out there option being Nikola Tesla's death ray...
Davy Crockett is one of the most famous owners of a named firearm
normal wraith
...Actually Tesla could be a great option.
jade grove
Where the name itself is remembered as special
Tesla has the Teleforce particle beam attached to his name, and oh so MANY legends
proud orbit
Zeus has entered the chat
jade grove
Oh. It blocks that but allows ass.
Bot pls
Particle beam can just be stolen from FB or the stone enemies
And recharging battery...
brazen isle
Sometimes I wonder if the supergiant people ever just ghost around the chats when they need ideas and see something they like going on here
jade grove
I wish
brisk trail
Occasionally we see something like that in patch notes.
jade grove
Crockett/Nobunaga would work similarly, I believe. Some kind of bolt action rifle.
normal wraith
I could see the special being something that fires out a marker that releases a shock wave when your beam hits it. Basically giving you an option for the highest damage aeo in the game with a little set up.
jade grove
That said, I don't see a single shot rifle being added, as it steps on Hestia's toes
Flamethrower is a thing, but it's not really associated with any myths, just terror
Ares may like it, but there's no legendary figure.
normal wraith
I mean I'd argue they're pretty legendary, we still have images in the media of plague doctors with them.
jade grove
Crockett, Oda, Blackbeard, Lyuda, Hayha... all options for conventional firearms
vast junco
was thinking of blackbeard as a possibility myself, yeah
jade grove
Well, no, I mean, there's no one person associated with being some kinda folk hero of the flamethrower.
vast junco
some blunderbus action
normal wraith
Tesla may be the best option then, I mean... In this universe he would probably be a son of zues anyway wouldn't he?
brazen isle
Aspect of Reinhardt
normal wraith
I'm kind of hopping for an aspect of artemis on the bow. I get it doesn't fit in theme, but it seems like a really fun way to suggest Zag and Artemis keep in touch after he gets out.
Though it would be more fitting to find a semi-mythical hero instead.
jade grove
Spanish hero who bore a golden dragon shield.
stiff trellis
Wow, I'm incredibly salty
jade grove
And apparently loved Greek and Roman military strategy classics, so the comnection is there
stiff trellis
So I like running the chaos keepsake because chaos boons are interesting
You want to know how long it took?
For a chaos gate to show up
Even though I checked and rerolled a number of shops trying to find the item?
normal wraith
Oh, yeah that one needs to be fixed so it's more likely you find chaos stuff. I get he's supposed to be rare but I never run his trinket for a reason.
jade grove
Elysium?
stiff trellis
The second to last room in elysium
normal wraith
Ouch
jade grove
Oof. Figured though
stiff trellis
And I didn't get any attack boons until that point either because I guess I just don't get those
normal wraith
Yeah I feel like the god trinkets should make it so that god is the first one you meet on any floor.
stiff trellis
It was without question the unluckiest run I've ever had
I think the chaos trinket should at the very least
Make the chaos item gauranteed in the charon wells
Because that was the most frustrating thing
But at the same time
One run does make a game bad
normal wraith
Continuously, so that way you have a reason to keep 1 the entire time, chaos appears in the start of a zone, and the 20 to 30% increase to boon rarity chance isn't wasted constantly.

Hello every time Zag says anything with an excited happy tone years are added to my lifespan

Counterpoint: Anytime that anyone in the house of hades other than hades himself says anything with an excited happy tone, years are added to mine

you just kinda get used to it with hypnos
worthy egret
Counterpoint to your counterpoint: therefore hypnos adds years every time he speaks
stiff trellis
you're right
mellow vessel
Hypnos 🥰
normal wraith
Man I wish I could like hypnos as much as you guys do. I got a little sour with him when I was first playing the game and getting real mad with how I died.
jade grove
TIL two people in this server are named crail
normal wraith
Followed by his exclamation point little just making fun of me.
worthy egret
I mean i did at first too but he's grown on me
What also helped was how calm Zagreus was with replying to him
Like of i just died a fiery death and someone made fun of me i would explode on the spot but frickin zagreus just says 'haha maybe!!' and goes about his day
What a legend
mellow vessel
@normal wraith just imagine everything he says is 100% sincere and well-meaning
Not snarky
worthy egret
HaVe yOu tRiEd NoT dOiNg ThAt
normal wraith
Okay you know he's a snarky guy, you can like that about him or hate it, but I recognize the snark a mile away.
mellow vessel
I mean I have a whole 22 chapter fanfic called Instead Of Getting Hit, Don’t
normal wraith
GRANTED. Zag is literally asking for these deaths to happen.
mellow vessel
But it’s a my hero academia fusion so not REALLY Hypnos-Hypnos
normal wraith
So I can't fault him too much, if is wasn't hypnos doing it, I'd be the one on the other end of the hall asking if they've tried walking on solid rock rather than magma.
I'd also probably have nick named zag Rug-be-gone.
stiff trellis
I just find him hilarious sometimes
normal wraith
Because flaming feet + rugs do not mix.
stiff trellis
I wanna see if he has dialogue for the tiny vermin
normal wraith
...I would but if you've gotten that far already-
worthy egret
I also find it interesting Zag cant feel stuff with his fire feet
mellow vessel
Or like... an actual vermin too, I wonder what he says
stiff trellis
But rn I'm cooling off from that last run because hoo boy I'm still super salty
worthy egret
Or so narrator commented on a rug i bought
you know what i need,,,, sibling than and hypnos stuff where they actually get along that would be an instant k o
normal wraith
Oh, well I mean if your feet were permanently on fire I imagine they wouldn't be able to feel much.
It might also be the explanation for how he runs on magma without screaming.
worthy egret
Poor Zag. Every time he showers or enters a pool he fills the room with steam
normal wraith
Wait, head canon: The reason zag gets hit with so many traps isn't because he's clumsy, he just literally doesn't notice the holes in his feet until after he tries to dodge.
normal wraith
That might also just simply be a play on person who taught him how fight.
Given his only weakness was his feet.
worthy egret
I wonder what its like when he puts his feet in water like do they get extinguished? Do they look like solid magma with tiny molten cracks cus that would be dope? Does it hurt when they get extinguished? Does it take a while for them to catch fire again?
nimble ocean
guess water just start boiling
worthy egret
Spoily ||Hades has fire feets as well dont think its a play on achilles||
narrow hemlock
i can understand why people would dislike hypnos, because they feel he's making fun of their deaths but like. hypnos isnt being legitimately mean about it, and zag clearly plays along with him much of the time so to me it comes off as their way of entertaining themselves
normal wraith
Well in this case I was specifically referencing him not being able to feel through them.

Turns out dancing with Dusa, Than, Hypnos and Meg is fine because they either dont have feet or can fly/float

Addition: sometimes when death defying, Zag can see Than in the corner of his eye
jade grove
Alas, poor Zagreus. Killed by Robbie Rotten.
normal wraith
Eventually than just shows up in the middle of it and cuts off the narrator. "Already, we're going home. The shades already had to clean up plenty of your blood last time."
knotty epoch
I kinda wish hypnos would comment on those
alpine stratus
yess
worthy egret
Okay but that give me the imagine of Than solemnly walking up to Zag's body and gently picking him up while all the shades respectfully scatter out of the way
alpine stratus
ghfghfdghdgh
normal wraith
I don't think they want to comment too much on it in character. I definitely think they plan on retaining the current ending even after the game's complete. At least until you've done something that allows Zag to move past that point.
There's too many loose ends if he just escapes first try.
worthy egret
Than, staring at the absolute mess a bossfight made of zag's body: next time im bringing a bucket.

It would also cause some narrative problems, but that's why I said kinda

narrow hemlock
he only comments on redacteds if the boss kills you though
so either way, the fact hypnos doesnt have anything to say about "successful" runs is a bit of a let down haha
normal wraith
To be fair I think that's because they don't know exactly how zag's going to keep ending up back in the underworld after the game's done yet.
Otherwise they'd probably be saying something.
narrow hemlock
tbh they could do it as like some sort of quest line
worthy egret
Or they do and are keeping it secret
narrow hemlock
so that you have to unlock the finish and can keep doing runs otherwise or something
worthy egret
Owo
normal wraith
I personally imagine it'll have something to do with his direct family or some sort of connection to the underworld he has to grow strong enough to survive breaking.
worthy egret
I was still surprised and happy that people reacted to me winning though
I was genuinely afraid its gonna be like, a 'thing that didnt happen'
proud orbit
There's some ominous codex entry that suggests ||Darkness keeps you tied to the underworld||
normal wraith
Yeah I saw that bit, though I don't know if that's what'll do it.
I mean it'd make sense, but then a run where you empty out the thing that ties it to you would technically break you free.
Plus other entries, his powers, and Zag's actual instinctual desires suggest ||he's an aspect of life and rebirth, so maybe he'd have to accept that power specifically to leave for extended periods of time.||
brazen isle
||definitely makes sense given his parentage||
narrow hemlock
i have actually tried a no darkness run before and it sucked. i do not want that as the method of "winning"
worthy egret
^
normal wraith
Yeah but thankfully it doesn't feel like it goes that way. I've done zero mirror after ||meg mentions something about it.|| Didn't get any special dialog so they probably aren't trying to encourage players to take these as serious hints on anything.
brazen isle
I interpreted that comment as Meg being salty tbh
normal wraith
Same with the Olympian line of course, though I feel like that one holds more water since it could be used as an excuse to have a mode where you switch to underworld god boons instead that all have different costs. Such as Nyx eating up your darkness, the river man selling them for coin, and chaos applying curses.
worthy egret
Anyway Zagreus is one brave man for sleeping with a Huge Creepy Mirror in his room. I would be terrified
normal wraith
It'd be neat as a challenge run but unnecessary.
narrow hemlock
ive made it to the end on a no darkness run but the whole trip there was just. incredibly tedious and unfun without the buffs ): but yeah no one has any comments about it anyway so theres no point other than challenging yourself

Nah I'm pretty sure everyone paying attention to this chat right now doesn't mind talk of the final boss but just figured if my friend checks it out or something wouldn't want them to stumble on it.

i definitely didnt expect to get my ass whooped after i "almost" beat the last boss the first run with 10hp left

So uhhh

If you die from hazard bomb, are you meant to shrink out of existance?
mild needle
i think its a bug. Step on it
stiff trellis
I just assumed that was the devs laughing at me for managing it
knotty epoch
even knowing that the last boss ||has a second phase|| is a spoiler, my dudes
dark cradle
I did the same for like my first 10 runs
But now that I'm approaching 100 I'm admittedly a bit neglectful of the pets.
brazen isle
That’s fair
stiff trellis
I still pet him every now and then
mild needle
i want to pet his other heads too
brave thicket
should i do a feedback to let us pet Lernie? He's so cute
deep pivot
Well... Zag wouldn’t have the chance. Lernie attacks him from the start and vanishes once it’s beaten
brave thicket
maybe put his head in the courtyard?
deep pivot
That’s so morbid 😅
primal whale
Lernie is the greatest name for a boss of all time
brave thicket
no, not like that but like he come up from asphodel to be petted
deep pivot
Oooh
primal whale
Do you also have a soft spot for animals with multiple heads?
brave thicket
no
deep pivot
That’s a loong neck he’d have
brave thicket
skeletal ones
primal whale
What about cerb
brave thicket
cerb is cute, but hes kinda lazy
deep pivot
Gasp
brave thicket
asterius is the best pet
primal whale
He makes the trek upstairs all the time
deep pivot
Why Asterius? 
brave thicket
and he has an abusive owner too
deep pivot
And he looks so cute when he’s smiling in his golden armor
brisk trail
Uh, Asterius is not a pet.
brave thicket
i want him to be
brisk trail
He's a person.
deep pivot
Oh, Asterius. Why you so good? 
brisk trail
Only if they want to be, and I think Asterius is quite comfortable in his normal personhood.
brisk trail
And Asterius clearly doesn't want to be a pet. He's a warrior.
deep pivot
Asterius would probably freak out if Zagreus told him he sees him as a pet
brave thicket
asterius: i see. Prepare to die, short one.
deep pivot
But yes, Asterius makes it clear he’s a warrior time and time again whenever Zag speaks with him. He even denied a bottle of Ambrosia out of honor

Krillin would love Hades since he dies all the time
brisk trail
Wait, I thought Hypnos gave tips on how to avoid a new death.
Unless he only does that for Zagreus.
deep pivot
I think he does that only to Zagreus (and maybe Meg since she keeps coming back from the pool)
brisk trail
||I bet he gives Hades tips.||
primal whale
Considering Zag can best Asterius, and a banana peel can best Zag, I think Superman would win
brave thicket
he wouldnt dare
brazen isle
Nah, he’s not. But that’s ||one of the possibilities you get as a reason you died and returned to the House if you beat the final boss||
Final boss spoilers under cut
mellow vessel
@brisk trail hence the “say hi to Hypnos for me”
brisk trail
Considering the closest we have to Hades's thoughts on Hypnos is Achilles's speculation in the Codex, I choose to believe that Hades finds it hilarious when Hypnos does say "Have you tried not standing inside Ares's Blade Rifts?" and the like.
primal whale
Hmm, is that a line triggered if you die? Maybe one die ill get to experience those lines.

has anyone noticed the only god Theseus doesn't call on is Demeter?

Oh, he does
night turret
He doesn't call on her is you haven't met her, but yes Grangran answers his pleas too.
agile saddle
guess i have been unlucky cause i have never seen him call her and i have been playing for a long ass time at this point lol
brazen isle
He only calls upon them if you haven’t taken a boon from them that run iirc
Though if you haven’t been taking granny boons that’s strange
mild needle
worthy egret
I remember when i was struggling to beat that bossfight
One time i was doing really good he actually saved me
By calling for artemis
Cause her pattern was the easiest to dodge
I was like THANK YOU ARTEMIS LOVE YOU
merry harbor
It usually feels like her and Aphrodite are like, phoning it in. It's nice
worthy egret
Speaking of ||Artemis talking about how she opened the bottle of nectar you gave her with her friends and sounding really happy/drunk made me smile so damn hard||
primal whale
artemis feels like the easiest duo god room as well
night turret
The thing about new trials... I really dont like how Dio's poison puddels are counted as enemies fro support fire.
worthy egret
I love duo boons because it always feels like a god is trying to contact Zag and then another god photobombs them
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOUNGSTER"
"DAD PLEASE NOT NOW"

||Also Demeter's HE'LL HAVE YOU THINK HE SIRED HALF THE COUNTRYSIDE||
mild needle
he did though
worthy egret
I just got it by picking up his boon 😂
novel wasp
I think after you picked up Demeter Zeus duo boon in the olympus you can see demeter gave zeus a visible slap
mild needle
i think i didnt see several duo boons interaction
i bought a boon from charon and picked the duo boon but no animation or text
worthy egret
:<
I got text when buying a boon w duo frim charon
Maybe they dont show up sometimes?
I also didnt get the interaction first time i got the artemis~zeus duo
novel wasp
when you got it before they wont show up anymore
its kinda sad cause i think theres only one duo boon interaction for everyon
because i wanna see more banters
worthy egret
I dont thin k thats true
I got artemis + zeus twice
And the interaction played the second time
Oh wait
Nvm i got u
And yes
That would be so fun
novel wasp
tbh i wonder when they said "new boons" in June update does that mean duo boon for every single combination?
Okay Hermes duo boon?????
HELLO???

He's so fast he can Duo with himself!

That's a low blow.

artemis trial is super easy when i tried it

i expected something more like spam fire similar to theseus blessing

lets make artemis harder by giving every enemy support fire xd

Artemis is a B52 confirmed?
