Speedrunners don't like him much
yeah hes real slow
oops
I once had 2 chaos curses
thats what morts going to do in 20 patches, just kills half of the enemies on screen
and the pact for extra enemies
And it was a thanatos room
I killed 57 enemies
thanatos like 21 or something
i had a thanatos room similar once too
and my 32 heat try i got demolished in his room
i couldnt compete with his dmg at all and the mobs just ran over me
Yeah it can be scary
also does anyone know what rarity actually does to a boon mathematically, i was trying to figure out if levels or rarity were better from eurydice but i was finding it hard to tell what rarity was doing other then just increasing the base value slightly
i think it improves scaling slightly?
1 more day until SG says the update delay was an April fools joke
@young smelt Did you drop an F10 in-game?
How good is Aspect of Hestia? Since I tend to pick up unlimited ammo a lot.
Or should I just stick to the second aspect?
Arguably better than Eris.
Unlimited ammo will nulify the effect right?
Hestia lets you still manually reload.
Hmm, I will unlock it later and try it. But does the effect apply to the first bullet only?
Yes.
ok, thanks mate
I like eris more
So do I, but Hestia is arguably better.
Sadly yes
Btw I think I was too harsh on Family Favorite
I use it a lot now
Definitely see why people prefer it over PS
I’ve found some creative ways to get PS though
Like aphro cast with the Demeter boon that adds the slow status whenever you cast
That's a good one-button way to trigger it.
Also for nemesis I usually go aphro attack and Demeter special anyway
You should go for Artemis for Heart Rend.
So maybe put arte on attack in that case
I prefer Heartbreak Strike, Deadly Flourish, and either Divine or Hunter Dash.
Yeah that too
I think Eris is better in the context of doing a typical run because it increases all sources of damage. Even your cast and call can become a main source of damage with Eris
Eris is extremely flexible
laffs in hestia
apparently according to the mythos, ares is really weak
he can be hurt by a mortal diomedes
Sounds like super classical myths that aren't relevant to the story being told in Hades the game.
They're still immortal
Also he got humiliated hardcore in titanomachy
by being trapped into urn by titans for 13 months
until hermes save him
also btw when ares goes back to cry to his dad zeus zeus did a chastise on him
its almost like Ares is literal dumb war god while Athena is a much revered hence smart war god
though, I do question Zeus IQ because in the passage zeus said he barely is able to control hera. then why keep trying so hard to challenge her by yknow sleep around greek
ohhh man, i had the most hilarious as hades run today
i thought, ok i'll go farm things, i'll slap on poseidon's keepsake, and thought to try guan yu again
1 heat, just to get at least a titan blood and diamond
... i didn't think i'd actually go on to beat hades with only 50 hp max
ares in myth was arrogant, whiny, and pretty much universally disliked by mortals and olympians alike, so im glad that was not the approach sgg took with him. his deceptively polite demeaner is vastly more interesting
the game still comments on how ares is a bit of an outcast in the family but its more off-handed commentary than an actual part of his characterization like ares of myth
Maybe they find him creepy for being so posh sounding about violence and death
upload it somewhere else and paste the link
like imgur or another discord server, or using steam if you're a steam user
:(
huh
Ares is a little unsettling as a character. Seems like the kind of guy to inspire a netflix crime documentary
🎶Show yourself🎶 step into my blender 🎶
🎶throw yourself🎶into bits of goo🎶
haha
Maybe the hades player base and the frozen 2 demographic are somewhat disparate >_>
i wish i could do this build for the heat 32 run i keep failing
Hey at least Demeter likes both!
I consistently find that the higher my heat goes it feels impossible until suddenly I get a build that works and then it feels trivial
pray to RNZ
I had a ludicrous arctic blast build for the fists yesterday
I’m running out of things to comfortably tick the heat up haha
27
Is there a way to make the game harder
goddamn
Think im getting too used to the game xd
Yeah, the pact of punishment, hell mode... arbitrarily limiting your mirror talents...
I guess I could let theseus and asterius have their fancy toys back and tick some other thing down 1
@quaint bramble i mean hes literally the god of war. there is just some level of blood and violence that is inherently expected with such a role. that was why in myth he was disliked by everyone, because he represented the brutality of violent struggle.
Yea I know. I think he plays the role perfectly?
I was just saying the way in which he is portrayed as disquieting understandably is reminiscent of a serial killer almost.
If you want to be technical he is :v
it was definitely a neat way to approach him, when most depictions of him tend to focus more on like. violence, brute strength, thoughtless arrogance. the usual
ares here still has arrogance but it comes off more calculated rather than him trying to throw his weight around just because he's basically war incarnate
it's a lot of why he's my favourite olympian in the game, despite the discourse over whether his boons are useless/outclassed or not lmao.
Maybe it’s symbolic, somehow, that Ares boons on their own aren’t that great, but with Athena or Artemis duos they are amazing
The part about him that’s most creepy to me is how he identifies Zag with himself in killing things to escape the underworld. Makes me wonder if we’ll get to see him react to Zag’s more friendly amiable side and whether that will disappoint him.
And meanwhile we’ve got Zag agonizing over ||killing a few rats||
i am sure most of the olympians are aware to varying degrees over zag's more good-natured demeaner, the gossip has to get around
we already know the olympians DO gossip about him
But they can’t hear him respond, other than while gifting nectar and ambrosia
Playing Hades and reading Lore Olympus on Webtoons has me feeling like I'm experiencing a second chance romance. Of the couple falling in love (in an inspired way) and of their son ultimately reuniting them after a separation based on misunderstanding (yeah, a bit romantic here)
i find the whole 'the gods cant hear zag but he can hear them' thing inconsistent personally. for the most part its firmly established they drop their boons, tell him something and move on, because they can't hear him even if he did respond. but the gifting kinda comes off as they do hear him sometimes. idk its up to interpretation i guess
but either way there is definitely a lot of gossip happening on olympus, especially with aphrodite and dionysus lol
there is no way aphrodite is not gossiping about zag's love life 🤧
@safe lodge I read lore Olympus too
Ah, a fellow Webtoon reader! 😁
i love how Ares and Artemis are so deprived of actual kills from zag that when he actually kills something, a rat, they're super excited
I am wondering about the story implications of Hades.
If Persephone left because she's not a good person, then roguelike aspect breaks because Zag has no reason to go to her repeatedly.
If she is a good person, then either circumstances (aka Fates) or someone made her stay away from Hades and Zag for so long. Demeter also, for that matter.
I think final rogue-like aspects would be to get a reconciliation between the estranged couple
No spoilers (I believe) since everything I said (except conjecture) is basic Greek mythology.
Let me know if there's any violation
Unrelated but looking at what is Zag god of, at least in mythology, got me that he's the god of rebirth and... hunting. like yes. zag and artemis tagging along hunting stuff yes please
@worthy egret Have you unlocked Thanatos' Codex entry completely yet? There's a mention of what Zag may be a god of
i HAVE!
oop caps
and i mean
it sorta correlates with the mythology so like
i'm happ
but the hunting thing was just something that gave me a cute thought, nothing more
Yeah, until recent updates, I liked Artemis. Now, especially after some of her comments during run (both in Trial of the Gods and outside), I'm indifferent to all
that's totally them when you also get Hunting Blades tbh at the final stage.
@narrow hemlock he creepily enjoys blender blades for some reason
If there were a Duo between Demeter and Aphro it should be Cold Hearted
Or frozen heart
hades super wide screen support seems... like an odd choice.. https://i.imgur.com/4cUSsas.jpg
Lul @brisk trail
ok I'm so confused, how do I unlock the last aspects?
I've got 3 of each weapon, but 4 on the spear and I have no clue how I got there.
There are only two of the legendary final aspects in the game at the moment. The rest will get added over time. The other is on the sword. You usually have to invest more titan’s blood into a weapon and/or experience story conversations.
@restive minnow theres a guide on how to unlock the final sword aspect in the spoiler channel's pins
Unrelated but do you think thats an actual eye on Than's scythe
Like is that thing alive that would be a dope parallel with Zag
Alternatively: he can also see through the thing and every time he's brooding and not talking to anyone he's watching through it
Than and Zag make the cutest couple
Bois 😔
@restive minnow anything that says ongoing underworld renovations is key for "this isnt in the game yet." only spear and sword have final aspects. if you need sword, check pinned messages in #h1-story-discussion

I did check it, thank you all.
Bruh
Bruh indeed.
Cael hammer is starting to look a lot like the ban hammer

Does anyone know if the word count in this game is listed somewhere?
Man I wanna get me a mallet now 
I just realized that this game reminds me of the Stanley Parable in a strange way
@primal whale because the narrator reacts to what you’re doing?
And also you're in a loop
Does than get angry if you try to romance someone else???
I may have made a mistake :(
Nope
than and meg deliberately make it clear that they aren't mortals and thus don't hold the same conceptions and ideals towards such things as mortals do
polyamory is ok
O ok
what is polyamory>
i am not polyamorous so i don't want to speak too much on things i don't know much about, but in the game you can pursue multiple romantic relationships without consequence if you want to
That's a question for Google, but 3+ people being in a romantic relationship at the same time.
So, akin to medieval Chinese?
Little more healthy, equal and willing participation.
the question arised: nymphs are mortal, is it safe to assume that they share human conceptions of love and romance?
um.. doesn't this count? okay
So nymphs never die of old age, but are very much able to be killed?
as far as established lore
yes
so, if they are careful enough, they can live forever
technicaally
Yeah but the chance of being murdered or accidentally killed just increases
they can also die if their vessel dies
like their tree dies or their rock destroyed
but that doesn't mean they are careless about with whom to become close with, either as friends or something
What lore is this from anyway?
greek myths, inferring from several paragraphs about nymphs
they do not actually say so
So voldemort is sorta like a nymph
go to hell
lol
don't speak his name out loud
no
charon is the son of nyx and erebus/tartarus
chiron is the son of cronus and some other titanides/nymphs/goddess
You know which one came first?
charon
Chiron was the centaur
his parents are fricking protogenoi
So after my google search of protogenoi, what is the dynamic between the titans and cyclopes?
cronos freed cyclopes
and then threw them back to tartarus because he finds them ugly
the cyclopes and hekatonkheires are the predecessors of the titans
ouranos threw them down to tartarus
and gaea was sad so she told cronos to kill ouranos
@primal whale
Gaia and Uranus birthed both the titans and the cyclopse right? Did the cyclopse come after?
cyclopes come before
oh yeah you said that
also nyx is a hooker
tartarus
ironically the cyclopes later became the guardian of tartarus to keep the titans in
what a loser
Fun stuff, this game has definitely got me more interested in greek mythology
i got into this game because of the mythology, reverse of your reason
I kinda wonder how all of this lore was created. It kinda feels akin to the lore that LotR created
as far as its impact on culture
not that ironically to think of it..
Ouranos: throws cyclopes down to tartarus
Cronos: frees cyclopes
Cronos: dam you ugly
throws cyclopes down to tartarus
Do you know if most of it comes from a single source or if it was developed by several people?
there were several centureis of development..
but i know a bit about the creation of egyptian myths
Yeah you'd think Chronos would have scoped out the cyclopes before freeing them
Chronos is the god of time, cronos is the titan lord of harvest
get your being right
and then cyclopes are like "who's laughing now?"
Well to relate the historical mythos to our modern times, Tolkien was a pretty big influence on our modern day fantasy lore and I was curious if there was a similar figure for greek mythology (or egyptian, which I know little about but would probably make for an awesome sequel to this game)
Man these gods really like to have similar names
homer and sophocles are like the tolkien of greek
point is, modern fantasy lore is restricted to authors and right owners. if there were no any of this, all the universes could've just come together in one, given time
also, most of the details came from tales of different countries
yea, like sparta and the rest of greek worshipped diferent forms of aphrodite
right, exactly. I know tolkien wasn't the originator of most of the lore laid out in lotr but he certainly brought it front and center to the main stream culture and became the main influence for what that whole fantasy world has developed into
Boy, that'd sure be strange if all fantasy genres were blended into one universe, although i'm sure someone has attempted it
Well I was studying Chemical Engineering but I ended up dropping out a year from graduating, so I technically don't have a major
oh ok
I know very little about all of this but I've become a lot more interested in the how different fantasy universes have developed throughout history
It's fun to find a point of relation with people that lived hundreds of years ago
people who lived hundreds of years ago are still people, the base genes are the same, the structure of body is also the same. Isn't that a point of relation?
I mean, there are plenty of ways that we can relate to people from ages ago, but with how technology has developed, it feels like the lives we live today are drastically removed from how people lived even just a few decades ago. The fact that fantasy lore is something that is still very much in common is pretty cool
well, there are other things, such as weird fetishes
i saw a few medieval manuscripts that depicts scenes so obscene that i cant describe and it would fit right in some people's fetishes
If analyzed from a physiological point of view, we have a lot in common with a lot of other animals, but the cultural similarites despite the very different living conditions is what I find interesting
Yeah fetishes too, I'd love to learn more about fetishes from hundreds of years ago
that actually sounds wrong
From an intellectual point of view, for research....
Isn't this off topic now since this doesn't relate to the game
Zag and Meg
iesous

that feels even more wrong now
lol
I heard Meg I am here
I mean not to disrupt the convo but yknow
no you're right, I feel like staying on topic gets a little lax at these hours
.
LOL
The secret boss
I really gotta go
That is some seriously bizarre lore right there
perhaps not a thing to discuss on an all ages server
^
i wonder if zag and meg inspired that manuscript
insert its time to stop meme here
so Hades, pretty good game eh?
Anyway all this talk of greek mythology and mention of egypt but no mention of how the greeks basically smashed theirs and egypt's myths together? imagine if that lil reference snuck into the game somewhere. anyway I'm out
im a fan
well there is harpocrates....god of silence...anyone...has he blessed this server?
silence insues
ensues
im sorry : (
i took a 50/50 on that and i missed lol
Technically insues is also correct but it's an outdated spelling
what art thou saying?
Hades, good game eh?
ive never heard of it
the Stanley Parable
You're a dude where despite what you do, you restart from the beginning and the narrator is cheeky
ohh, sounds familiar
Chill mods,
i feel like being off topic at this hour is fine
If we weren't having this off topic conversation, there wouldn't be a conversation
I agree
but maybe avoid fetish and phallic trees
yes
But that is the topic were not talking about
we would never
we are not that daft
im off to bed now, i hope you peeps sleep well
Goodnight
and there we were talking if the nymphs have same love ideals as human mortals
now i can't get rid of image of dryad of that tree in my brain
which tree?
**that ** tree
oh no, not THAT tree
well, i guess it's someone's thing as well
we better stop before whole topic gets it
Clearly you guys mean the boon tree
.......what on earth did i walk into
A disaster zone.
Guys April fools joke the update isn’t delayed
mods literally asleep break server rules huh lol
well good morning guys PLEASE keep the chat appropriate for all ages!!
🧹 there that should be better
wait, we broke which rule? there were no curse words there?
all of them
Rule two- safe for work language goes beyond specific curse words, and into general topic choice as well.
okay sorry
thanks!
Mods awake post pictures of zag smiling
PLEASE do 
zag always smiles
@foggy kiln I made a feedback post about how stubborn defiance doesn’t do a good job of being a new player crutch. Sure, it stops them from dying on normal rooms, but it doesn’t teach them about playing carefully to save the defiances for later in the game. It gives bad habits by making it sometimes optimal to play reckless, well, because you can. I suggested that it should get better the more rooms you go without using it, such as giving you more health or maybe even adding a chance to revive you without consuming the defiance
I also suggested a change for high confidence that gives you more damage until you take a certain amount of hits in a room
@opaque nexus Excellent suggestions on all fronts, to be honest. I'd support all of that.
Also fiery presence is useless, so maybe make it give the damage if the enemy has above 80%
I'm not as good as I used to be on keeping up with all the suggestions in Hades Feedback
I've been experimenting with Fiery Presence with high-Alpha-Strike builds and it's... okay? I feel about the same towards it as I do to Shadow Presence.
But I wouldn't say No to an improvement there
Agreed that dark regen is too strong btw
Fiery Presence with Excalibur and any +% damage attack boon makes Tartarus laughably (and delightfully) easy.
it gets harder after that, but the initial is a TON of fun
just one-shotting EVERYTHING
Problem is if the enemy gets hit by chip damage, it doesn’t benefit anymore
Absolutely
Which is why it should give the damage if they’re above 80%
I actually don't know if it procs when an enemy goes from having Armor to the start of its second health bar
but that would be a nice addition
I actually love playing with Family Favorite... I like just having a complete mess of boons and talents that somehow add up to a workable whole at the end of a run.
and getting a damage buff from that just makes one of my preferred playstyles better
Some weapons kinda need it, like rail
my most-fun run ever was actually before Family Favorite went in (Superstar update) and I had a 5-Olympian build on the Rail
Poseidon Attack with the Zeus/Poseidon Duo boon that strikes lightning when a foe gets knocked back... and then a lot of Lightning Boosts, Rupture, Jolted, etc... instant Priveleged Status on any attack. Then had Ares on Special and Athena for Cast and Call. It was a SLAUGHTER.
What's the max number of hearts currently available for Achilles? I have 6 but not sure if more are possible
Achilles affection locked rn
you're maxed until a further update adds more
there's a like greyed heart with a clock in it, if you see that, that's all there is for now
Thanks
Also, I miss the other loading screens. Hope that one day, we get a chance to revisit them (maybe randomly decided upon every visit to main screen when v1.0 launches?)
Has there been any info teasing what is a part of the next update?
There’s a development roadmap in-game on the starting menu.
ok. Will take a look. Thank you.
Is there any specific channel you're supposed to go through for bug reports?
bug reports are done in game pressing F10
ah got it, thanks.
Dash-Attack Chaos bonus doesn't seem to work for the bow.. Really killed my build this run 😢
...What if we swapped worlds' regions' mythologies around, as well as their style?
I just kind of thought of Thanatos wielding instead of a Scythe or Sword, he uses a Misericorde and Crescent Sickle.
No I mean like
If we could draw Greek Gods in the stylization of Japanese Gods, or vice versa, or other,
what would that look like? What fundamentals of an appearance would change?
In what context.. 😛 Like in Hades or just in general?
Just in general, really.
This mainly just came from the idea of "Misericorde, a merciful death tool + Thanatos, god of (peaceful) death = ???"
Well.. Im not sure god pantheons generally has a "style".. I mean the "style" in Hades (the game) is mainly derived from.. Hades the game :p
Also are there any Japanese gods really?
Amaterasu, goddess of the sun.
I think goddess of the sun. Probably one of those multi-definition pantheons for all I know
She dueled some other god, I think god of storms or something chaotic idk in a contest of "who can make the best gods"
I figured the 'styles' associated would probably be just historic regional/national styles from basically as far back as possible
so uhm...yeah Japan has a lot of Japanese gods if that's anything to tell by.
Yeah basically
I was gonna call you on there being a Japanese pantheon really.. But this is what I found:
Ares in greek armor would have some skin exposed with non-obtrusive plates and stuff like that. But if he had Japanese armor, he could be decked out in full wooden/iron armor, complete with a mask of a demon.
"Japanese gods and goddesses, called kami, are uniquely numerous (there are at least eight million)"
so that makes you the clear winner in that argument 😛
I...didn't think there was THAT many
Wow I guess those god-making contests happen often, huh?
ya 😛
lmao
I mean.. That must be like 20 times the number of people alive in Japan around then
I suppose it covers a lot of time though
so plenty time to come up with gods 😛
Oh and the contest ended (and the plot begun) when no one really defined what the "best god" was. A bunch of tantrums happen before the sun (goddess) hides in a huff, and her competitor is banished because everyone has to figure out how to get the fireball back out of the cave.
I imagine that Norse-style would have more capes, horns and helmets, and maybe axes and hammers.
...so uh, Hades himself isn't very far from that, heh.
yea
...Say, did Rome have a different style from Greece, or did they just kind of
osmose them like they did their gods?
i feel like norse mythology would be like heavy metal album covers
yeah I think it was similar styles all over these
Some place so cold has such blood-boiling music tied to it, that's a strange mix.
maybe like some regional additions or specificities but like largely similar.
Oh yeah. Weird.
Neat!
My street is literally called (translated) Odins Hall Street :p
Wait are you from somewhere in (former) rome or scotland?
(North Sweden)
I'm the big genius brian
What weapons are associated with Norse mythology anyway? What could they counterpart in the Greek Pantheon...?
Really not very sure... I mean hammer is obviously associated with norse mythology whereas Greek I feel are more swords and spears
whereas spears seems unheard of in norse
If you wanted to pick one signature weapon for each i'd say spear or spear/shield for greek and hammer for norse.
axes
yeah axes
and norse ud have leather/fur type stuff and greek would have armor or cloth type stuff

long live shieldbug 🎉
zeus cut and orphy singing off key is sending me
god, if i still had my old programs the urge to make an orpheus singing slightly off key edit is overwhelming
OH! I deleted your feedback because I thought it was about the joke but if you actually want US to bring it back you can....... say that?
Though I don't know if we're going to replace Thinh's awesome animation. 😄
maybe don't pin the thing that can be mistaken as actual notes
.....fair
fdkgjkdfgjh
we'll just have to remember how GOOD this was
pepperidge farm remembers
i just wanted to make sure people would be able to see it if we were still talking in here
Maybe unpin it....... on April 2? :3c
plus, in fairness
it's april 2 in europe
Is That Not The Point, also belgo looks nothing like greg
Alma will remember this.
Ah dang.... that means my April Fool's Day is done I guess. 
"zeus: cut from the game" GOOD IT'S WHAT HE DESERVES
Eight more hours... no more foolings.....
We will forever remember this. It's just that good
nobody calls my mama a courtesan and gets away with it 
my April fools day is done but I’m a jester all year long
"skelly now ||actually dies for real||"
i'm giggling at how the shield's entry is just.... exactly how it used to act.
it'd be cool if skelly were the character that does event stuff, like he'd have a santa hat or a costume or something small-ish like that on holidays
the theseus summon is just him being offended every time zag calls on him, and zag wondering why he bothers
Off-keypheus got me 😂
you can tell it's not real because of zagsit 
wait i just realised, people who are newer to the server won't Get the shield joke,,,,
...imagine if you could equip one aspect on each fist
luckily theres a reeeaalllyyy old pinned message referring to the shield bug
Petition to rename Bone Hydra to Boneheaded Hydra
Some of those updates would be awesome. 😄
@vale kite I want you to know that the community-requested icon on removing Zeus really hurt me.
its honestly what perfected the comedy aspect of it lmao
Galaxy brain would have been for april fools day armor went back to the old way it functioned
The reason for my death at the end of the game is getting more and more ridiculous
true april fools would be to bring back old dash

The game is good
Although with that new update the way to go on about upgrades with the mirror shOOk things up too much for me lmao
disappointed that zeus was cut from the game but poseidon wasn't
Right?
Woo! Just beat the game for the first time. And beat hades my first time actually fighting him. Turns out getting a billion high synergy boons with two duo boons is pretty good.
am i doing something wrong or is it hard to hit the dash-q with the new fists
nevermind, I just needed some practice
no final boss spoilers in this channel please 0:
On Epic Games Store, game + soundtrack is cheaper than game itself. Bug?
I can't

April Fools? For normies to be mega memelords for a single day
heyo! could I ask what descending does? :0
I'm in the middle of a pretty good run and dont want to make a mistake if I dont need to, this is just my first time seeing it
@languid anvil You will meet someone very interesting, and you'll be given a choice of their boons. You have to survive their curse for a few encounters but its usually v much worth
Petition for Demeter to clock Zeus in the face
Poseidon cast :(
it's a full substitute for weapon
Do you think Zeus boons make Zagreus staticky like he touches Than and gives him a zap
definitely
both zeus and poseidon are
identical in their boon progression
"we put thunder in your thunder"
"we put knockback in your knockback"
the difference is that Zeus' flat attack damage is actually good on a fast low attack weapon, like the rail
but it scales terribly on the opposite with bow
but knockback is garbage, and Poseidon's % bonuses are 2nd lowest in the game
I don't know why zeus is flat
Aphrodite boons make Zag slightly more charming and it makes up for some very confused enemies questioning their alignment
that's because bow and shield would've been busted otherwise
but that creates useless boons
it's bad because bosses exist but it's not the first roguelike to have this issue of stuff being good at clearing small enemies and falling off a cliff against bosses
dead cells has the same issue
weapons that do "x after you kill an enemy", but bosses don't summon enemies
DC has much bigger issues than Hades
here bosses barely feel the knockback
in that a large chunk of their items are garbage, along with mutations
slow weapons, but mostly shields being way too good
so you basically play shield + a weapon
all the time
wait shields are good in DC?
I mean i find them fun
And some chip damage is always neat
Or you can just take ares and play Will It Blend
also, almost never used shields in DC, they don't always 100% block, and parry is not that convenient..
most of the time you just trying to kill something from a distance
I need to update my boon review for hades since next update is far far away
DC is a good roguelike, one of a few i can tolerate, but comparing to Hades mechanics it's kinda plain and straightforward
DC and Hades share something: the meta grind
the key is always to find something that deals terrible terrible damage, and then try not to die as a fool. usually all the working combos are the same
it's particularly egregious in DC where it costs thousands of cells for better weapons
hades hides the grind by drip-feeding content
when you die in Hades, you're waiting to get new content, new story, new something and always rewarded
to be rewarded in DC you have to make at least some progress
so, when you die, you're like "aw jeez, here we go again"
in other roguelikes when you die, you want to ragequit
mostly
i'm all out of content in hades though
laughs in murdering ||Hades ||with blender dash
Its the funniest thing ever
You can’t have a game based off of Greek mythology without Zeus or Poseidon lul
tbh, I hate Poseidon Boons beside increasing and gaining loot
what's wrong with loot?
For Poseidon to be good you need like 7 poseidon boons in the same run
lol the zeus cut joke has nothing to do with boons guys, idk why it turned into zeus vs poseidon utility discussion. the joke was obviously referring to zeus shenanigans
like I think it's pretty much unanimous that zeus boons generally have more utility than poseidon. the zeus is cut joke with the community icon is more pointing at how zeus can't ever keep it in his pants
wait are we still talking about the patch notes
I scrolled back and yeah lmao
yeah the joke was about zeus being zeus
that's why poseidon is being discussed
it was pretty good, one of the first ones I skimmed across and chuckled at
Okay but Chaos mode could be hilarious
You enter a new chamber, check the random boons you got and
oh no
On a new computer and don't have Hades installed yet - what's the #no of days til the next update?
It just says next update June, lately
I think
Unless lockdown has changed things
I doubt it, greg said in last qa most of them are used to working remotely anyway
Yeah I just didn’t know if there might be something office-specific for actually pushing big updates
when does this game release
Hey @sour nebula ! Hades doesn't have a set release date for v1.0 right now, but we expect it to hit its full release sometime this year. It's currently available to play in Early Access on the Epic Games Store and Steam. 👍
@worthy egret thanks!! I ended up not goin down yet, but next time it shows up I'll try it
ok thanks i already own it just wondering if any news
Hot dang, what did that?
Looks like the Poseidon demeter duo cast
yes, and chaos cast damage boons
and 2 chaos casts
i killed ||hades|| in like
20 seconds
this was an insane run
Niiice
i wish this was the 32 heat run i keep failing at :(
Last night I tried 29 and got stuck in the top left corner with ||hades|| lasering me in phase 2
Should probably move your screenshots to spoilers though
i always hide behind a pole when he even starts to casts
Or mark them or whatever
Yeah I normally do but there was a lot going on in close quarters and I didn’t catch the animation happening until it was too late
I used to run broken spearpoint before it got nerfed, so it’s only recently I’ve had to learn how to dodge the lasers lol
I use acorn now
It used to activate on any hit.
It didn’t have a cool down
wow
Then was nerfed so it could only activate every 10 seconds.
damn
At that point I had already nursed my broken heart over it and moved on
I’m a better player now though
I had gotten up to like 20 heat with it? And then everything felt impossible when it was taken away
I still run BSp almost exclusively in Styx.
snakestones
Satyr/Rat poison, mostly.
lets take a sip from the poison curing fountain babes
Yeah I wonder if I should give it a try again now that I’ve gotten better. It was giving me a false sense of security before, right after it was nerfed, and then I just died repeatedly
So I JUST started playing hades finally yesterday (I have this weird anxiety starting supergiant games, pun intended, since they tend to make me cry like a little baby) and I
am in love with Chaos>>>?????
but I'm also, as the kids say, really BAD at the game
- same
- SAME
Hey, you'll improve, don't worry about it
that's a huge part of the game and like
nobody is going to laugh at you for dying
Good thing Im great at it
I'm having so much fun with it and unlike a certain hack and slash based game I am not CRYING yet so thats a plus
Which game makes you cry?
Transistor
every. single. time.
Oh right, been meaning to play that.
Transistor nuked me
i cried like a BABY
I have it installed, but Hades has me by the railgun
def do give it a try
Transistor is my favorite, and pyre had second place until I finally started hades
now they are head to head
I haven't tried Pyre yet but I've been meaning to
nba purgatory
NBA PURGATORY
WELL IT IS
ah yes i love the sgg games. nba purgatory, sword boyfriend, daddy didnt love me
(i forgot what bastion was. xD)
ZULF DID NOTHING WRONG
OH YEP
they are probably my favorite weaponmITTENS
Zulf did one thing wrong but boy was it a doozy.
HSHSHS
my favourite is probably Rail
though once I started playing all of them i dont think its first place is as solid anymore
I don't like the reloading mechanic but that might be bc i don't like guns
I would rather PUNCH
Still just barely Rail, with Fists in second place.
i wasnt too sold on it until i realized i can just bomb things
RIP Infinity Chamber.
Rail makes me feel like I'm a bossfight myself
xD
with all of those telegraphed aoe
i was ONE BOMB away from killing the hydra first try and i died while it was midair
the PAIN
oooouuuffff
i once killed the hydra with like 2 hp left
stepped on lava when trying to get out
and died
My first fight with meg I got out with 1 HP
oh she must have been so SALTY
god I can't get over how dorky Z is when he meets the minotaur for the first time
Zag is such a great protag i love him
also props to supergiant for using the right form of heracles
genuinely i dont think there is a character i dont like?
i wasnt too much of a fan of Theseus but I've warmed up to him
ALSO WAIT CAN I MENTION THE ABSOLUTE SHOCK WHEN I SAW DIONYSUS FOR THE FIRST TIME
I WAS LIKE WAIT THATS LEON POKEMONE SWSH
NOT DRUNK UNCLE
.
why havent
i thought
of that
LISTEN MAN NOT EVERYTHING WITH PURPLE HAIR AND THAT PERSONALITY IS LEON
the fact that leon would absolutely wear that leopard print cape makes it even worse
HSHSH hahahaha
Idk who my favorite god is I just know I reached max hearts with chaos and am upset
you give me a NB character I am GOING to try to romance them even if it isn't an option
Give the trickster space God the love they deserve 😔
their graNDCHILDREN DON'T CALL THEM
so soMEONE'S GOTTA
they'd probably BLOCK ME
Me, sending my 10th bottle of nectar:
Choas: I don't even have a mailbox how are you doing this
reminds me of that comic where a woman calls the devil himself
"Heyyy! It's cathy, just soaking in the tub, how was your day?"
Cathy, I have no idea how you got this number... but yo wouldn't BELIEVE the day I just had.
just imagine it with Zag and Chaos. xD
makes me want to play damn
I don't realize how fast time goes while playing. the game i usually play goes by so slowly. every second counts and that makes it really distort how long it feels like im playing meanwhile here im like "oh four attempts to escape? aaaaaaaaand its dinner. wasn't it JUST 9 AM??? wasn't it JUST-"
this has one (1) curse word in it but speaking of dio this is hands down my fav reaction to him i've seen https://twitter.com/YoungSnackPack/status/1210651936736923650
Not only am I addicted to #HADES now..... I think I might be in love with a God. 😳
i hope that dude had a good day
THATS BASICALLY WHAT I DID OH NO
I JUST SAT THERE WAVING MY ARMS AROUND
my cat was v concerned
curse zags weird tunic cape why doth thou be a pain to draw
when i first met than i thought I had to fight him and i almost cried bc he was my fav PJO character
what im learning is a cry a lot
when I first met Than I was scared cause I thought i was gonna die
i havent even read pjo, is thanatos in there as well?
like once i think
its been a while since i've read it but i used to be like a superfan
@sterile fiber What is he like in it? just curious since he's one of my fav gods
i don't know what I was expecting-
there is a single way to write thanatos as a character
shadow the hedgehog incarnate
Than isn't edgy, he's a tsundere.
now, I once saw someone edit Vergil's coat and Yamato onto Shadow, and that was just weird
honestly when you're death you can't really be sunshine and rainbows
or wear pastels
Fair enough
He's not.
but also
whos stopping him
himself
he needs to get his act together and be the man he feels he is
deep down inside
decora kei thanatos. next update.
I still cant get over him painting his nails black
i have to go eat dinner and all im gonna be thinking of is thanatos in pastel hightop sneakers and a frilly dress with pins in his hair
gods help me
no need for help you've ascended beyond mortal comprehension
OKAY but
meg than zag manicure night
thanatos 
dusa is there also and they style her snakes
thinking abt in the ama when than was said to be detail oriented and taking care of his looks......
i am absolutely convinced that than has hypnos' poofy hair and just irons it daily. and absolutely he and meg should style dusas snakes 
headcanon that Than loves jewelry and accesories and thats how he got his hands on the pierced butterfly in the first place
the nail polish will forever kill me, by the way
it's my favourite character design detail.
"Death... at last... you've come for me... Uh is that black nail polish"
"Yes it is. Now perish."
thanatos would probably do zag's nails for him if he asked but zag will never sit (still long enough)
Meg has to hold him down
death getting a manicure.... "if i was here on business i would'nt've called first. i just want a little butterfly painted on"
GREAT NOW IM THINKING ABOUT THAN WITH A LITTLE BUTTERFLY ON HIS PINKY NAIL
ISNT IT CUTE???
hell YES IT IS
zag doing THAN'S nails tho...gives zag something to focus on
"dontmessupdontmessupdontmessup"
hello Zag is absolutely a restless sleeper and throws himself around in bed at the speed of 24 rotations per minute
hgfjfhjfhj zag do you know the trust i place in your hands right now
hes a little messier than than likes but he does surprisingly good stamps!
jhfgjhfhjfhj
it's why he and Meg broke up the first time
😂
"zagreus son of hades I SWEAR on my mother and chaos before us all if you MOVE ONE MORE TIME I'LL MAKE SURE YU WON'T MOVE EVER AGAIN"
[smacked]
the first time around zag watched meg do her makeup and was like do mine too please!!!! and she got halfway thru lining one eye before going "okay youre wiggling forget it" and he was just, stuck like that
mark of shame
Tisiphone mumbles "muuurderer" in her sleep
also
"Zagreus. You move one more time and you'll wake up in Styx. I have to get up eARLY TOMMORROW"
- Than probably
does than hover in his sleep....
falls asleep and rises directly into the air. takes the blanket with him
Thats an actual historical fact
okay but levitating sleeping Thanatos reaching out, wanting to hug something, he grabs Zagreus and pulls him up
They have to keep helium ballons in the underworld so they can stick tape to them and reel thanatos in
I bet thanatos's favorite drink is chocolate milk can any supergiant staff confirm or deny
why does that fit
hot cocoa...
I really wanna cosplay fem!zag and i wanna turn my dog into cerberus no one can stop me
Or maybe my cat since hes more like cerb
do it. live ur dreams
Its not even a dream its an excuse to cosplay more supergiant
hfhjfjh zag actually managing to fall asleep in than's arms and he wakes up and hes still in than's arms! but on the celing! and than is still snoozing and hes like. [tries really really hard to not fall]
death indeed is possessive but not in the way zag expected
Give zag a bunkbed 2020
he tries to move and than is like :((((( and just squeezes harder
Hypnos laughing in the distance
tfw you will never get to cuddle thanatos 
why live
Dont say that
😔
wHY ALASKA
go to any hot topic and just Wait
MonkaS
Considering
than in sunglasses
also consider: zag's green eye is fine in sunlight! his red one is not. eyepatch like a pirate
I bet THATS were he is

Thonk
reverse the eyepatch at night
This just in zag cant drive
Zag achieves his true potential at dusk and dawn
WITH HIS ATTENTION SPAN I DONT THINK HE COULD DRIVE EVEN IF HIS EYES WERE FINE
HDNFHDJ
this just in, hypnos and than cant drive either because their feet levitate and cant reach the pedals
hypnos falls asleep every five seconds also
Im always scared joining big dicords but i feel like this is already the best decision ive ever made
Omg
Thanatos cant play ddr :(((
Zag and Hades can't either unless you give them a heatproof pad
Hades would hate ddr lets be honest
this just makes me imagine Hades as a ddr master
Zag cries bc he cant play
Hermes is a master at ddr
hjghjfhjfhj underworld ddr is orpheus singing and zag stomping in rhythm
JFUHGHRIUE
The real plot of hades. The rift between father and son. Ddr master and ddr wannabe.
Supergiantgames hire me now im a genius
you guys have no idea how much raw willpower it takes me to save my diamonds and not buy a disco ball for the lounge
I have a whole three braincells and all of them are commited to ur company
Im sorry you can do WHAT
ur 3 braincells are actually just what freud always theorized! the id, the ego, and the supergiant :))
Oh my god.
Hes rolling in his grave rn
GOOD
Nice
good
Also you HEARD ME
Also Crail, do it. Follow your dreams. Diamonds may be forever but disco is now
Zags favorite band is abba
BUT spoiler ||SISYPHUS||
You'll get more! Probably!
disco ball in lounge, rainbow shifting filter, muffled carameldancen video
This is gonna turn into me spitting out my hades headcannons and eventually getting banned somehow
Hades: Why do you keep punishing yourself for bounties, boy.
Zag, bloody and half dead: MUST. HAVE. DISCO.
jhghjfhjfhjfhj
Can "diamonds are forever but disco is now" be the tagline for hades
I feel like is really captivates the soul of the game
Greg supergiant do u hear me
Disco is NOW
everyone stare at his icon really hard
I mean Thanatos has a green filter. Hades has an orange filter. Both have their theme music. There is nothing stopping Zag from having a rainbow filter and carameldansen playing every time he appears
greg....its about the disco,
@ Greg
DISCO-pointed that there is no disco ball emoji
Greg. Its disco time.
what is happening her--[sees kam] that explains everything, hi kam
HJGJHFJH am i truly that chaotic 😳
you cannot escape what you've brought upon yourself greg
You cannot escape the disco
KJSHFDKSJHGKJD USUALLY WHEN I SEE U INVOLVED IN CONVO THERES SOME SILLY SHENANIGANS GOING ON
You are the dancing queen young and sweet only seventeen, greg
greg kasavi-sco the fans demand the disco
Hey, this time, it wasn't entirely their fault >.>
darren korb...we love the disco orb
I caused this. 😂
you know one thing that disappoints me about the disco ball, no one comments on it
No, actually
we keep saying light of ixion this and that...maybe its a disco ball
i did not scroll back to get the full context of the convo, i am just thinking about how everyone walks into the lounge with a disco ball and not a word is said about it. zagreus what is this contraption why is it hanging here why are there so many colours. nothing
sadness
Putting up a disco ball to spite Hades is honestly its own reward
Even if he stubbornly refuses to actually look at it. Potentially in fear
All i can imagine rn is Than, sipping his drink with a :[ expression while a disco ball is spinning above him
thanatos got the hood entirely pulled up and just has a curly straw sticking in
THAN WITH A BENDY STRAW
Trap Hades in his own prison dimension. There's a mess, his brothers are there, and there is a disco ball above them. Poseidon is singing karaoke
IM BACK my internet died for a second and i actually thought i got kicked
i was like "thats faster than normal huh"
JGKJGJ OH NOOO
it was kam
how dare
You like disco you get the kicko
jk kam is like a chaotic teddy bear
GET THE KICKO
Theres a party and orpheus is absolutely shredding that lyre
goddd i was trying to google a pic of someone pulling the strings on a hoodie to close the hood but i got this instead and tbh? also than https://image.shutterstock.com/image-photo/man-dark-figure-hooded-sweatshirt-260nw-1036407646.jpg
Ah i see what you mean
Than is a Decidueye
Honestly yeah I can see that
[i pull the strings on than's hoodie closed] who fears death now
death does not want to be here death is NOT APPROACHING
thats what sisyphus did
sjahfuisdghksdj
JHGVHJFHJFHJ
KAM
THATS EHAZ YTSYYSIPHAUD DID
i am LOOKING AWAY cursed emoji but "death is NOT APPROACHING"
"I DO NOT APPROACH THIS"
Nobody can die because Than is too embarrassed to enter
thanatos: i only handle peaceful deaths. if im embarassed thats not peaceful, and that means-
hermes: snap! you get put on my cringe compilation!
Hi I Just Wasted Five Minutes Of My Life: A book by Charlie
hermes: by which i mean, i take your soul instead.
who wants an edit of than in that hoodie picture
ME
oh
because thats what I just made
Thanatos: violent deaths are handled by Keres. We uh. Don't talk about Keres
wait whos that
Not in hades, but its a god supposed to handle violent death
i thought ares did that lmao.... i dont know any myth thats not in hades
I think the name was Keres at least
ahhh

DEATH IS NOT APPROACHING
DEATH IS LEAVING THE AREA
