yeah on your 1st death hypnos says you died to redacted

summer forge
#

Ah I'm on the last boss but haven't been able to reach him again

#

Ahh I remember her saying that

#

Makes sense now

narrow hemlock
#

@forest grotto idk what you were looking at but sun tzu and guan yu were two entirely different people, there's literally hundreds of years between them. the spear is guan yu aspect.

quartz knoll
#

Guan Yu should be used as a ranged weapon

#

don't try to melee with it or get absolutely annhilated

brisk trail
#

It's really powerful with Serrated Edge.

honest breach
#

Hey can you unlock the song that plays in Sisyphus' room at the music stand? If so does anyone know the name of it?

brisk trail
#

Wretched Shades.

#

Not sure if it's on the music stand, though.

brave thicket
#

Nyx has been disappearing for 4 runs now after i fixed the altar, but she isnt with chaos

#

where is she?

#

is this a bug?

cinder lichen
#

It’s RNG.

#

RNG that she’ll not be in the house, RNG that she’ll be with Chaos.

wide stream
#

is it me or are dash builds really strong?

brisk trail
#

Depends on your weapon.

#

Dashing Wallop is cool, but it doesn't really do anything Aegis couldn't already do.

#

But Double Edge Nemesis, Serrated Edge Hades/Guan Yu, Zag Coronacht, and Spread Fire Exagryph? Those are all world-enders.

when are we getting percy jackson

#

percy jackson

inland shell

demi gods are eh

lost parcel
#

yeah

#

but it would be cool wouldnt it

#

also percy is basicly a godling

#

he has the power to level mountains

inland shell
#

not really. a children book made him popular but he's hardly good source material

lost parcel
#

yeah true

#

or maybe leo

#

hmmm

#

that,d be cool

#

btw

#

do all the weapons have a hidden aspect ?

#

noice

inland shell
#

looks like a good place for outside-story lore, such as we have already

lost parcel
#

i have the spear and sword rn

#

the spear is kinda weird

#

its realy not that good on lvl 1

#

but from what ive seen lvl 5 is more than making up for that

#

anybody got a build for arthur

inland shell
#

Guan Yu only makes it slightly easier to live, its a super strong weapon that heals

#

Arthur carries itself, overtuned so anything works

#

you even get a massive 50 bonus health on it

#

Artemis alone boons make it crit for over 700

#

Then fish for Hermes atk spd

lost parcel
#

fish ?

primal whale
#

Yeah, slap a few knuckle heads on there and you're slashing and dashing

west chasm
#

Geeze i'm trying to explain someone that Hades and Darkest Dungeon are different games

brisk trail
#

Do they understand that they launch from different .exe files?

west chasm
#

Nah like

#

In how the reward/risk/progression works

brave thicket
#

how good is darkest dung eon

west chasm
#

Eh

novel wasp
#

very depressing

#

if you love savescum

#

it doesnt exist

west chasm
#

It's like DnD meets weirdness

novel wasp
#

ive beaten stygian and i didnt play any games after a week

brave thicket
#

why?

#

is it that bad?

west chasm
#

As a lifelong rpg fan, Darkest Dungeon is just... weird to me

brave thicket
#

im thinking of pirating it, should i?

west chasm
#

It goes pretty low on sales often

brave thicket
#

i just pirate it to test before wasting the cash

novel wasp
#

Do not talk about piracy here

#

before you get nuked by mods

brave thicket
#

yarr harr

novel wasp
#

Darkest Dungeon is fun if you like challenge

#

and you like permadeaths

#

also pray to rng because this game has a lot of rng elements

#

its less guaranteed than hades

#

hades is easy when it comes to rng

west chasm
#

The games gets "make the best out of a bad situation" talk a lot but honestly, isn't every RPG ever like that?

#

Damage ranges, miss and dodge chance, crits

#

DD's only real extra layer of RNG is the way buffs and status effects are also based on RNG

novel wasp
#

the traits are one annoying

#

you simply has too many things to worry from so many angles

#

bad or good

west chasm
#

Yes that too, i simply despise everything that has to do with trains quirks and such

summer forge
#

btw how many attemps has it taken some people to defeat the last boss and make it to the top..

west chasm
#

EVEN the good stuff

primal whale
#

steam does have a no questions asked refund policy if you've played less than 2 hours

west chasm
#

Like, this hero has +X% more damage

#

Also they refund you a game if you bought it for full price some days before a sale on that game

primal whale
#

Well, they do ask questions technically, but your response doesnt matter

#

Really? that's good to know

brave thicket
#

i played a game for 5 hrs, wanna return it, cant

#

thats just sad

west chasm
#

I agree some games can't be tested fully in 2 hours

#

Hell some games can be completed under 2 hours

primal whale
#

There are very few games out there that I can't tell if I want refunded or not after 2 hours, but i suppose that'sfair

#

But you can always try even after 2 hours

#

the 2 hour cut off is just guaranteed

west chasm
#

I played some games for like 24hs before i said "yeah i don't think this is good"

primal whale
#

That's a generous amount of time to give a game before making that decision

summer forge
#

I'm usually picky when buying any game that is over 20 dollars

#

I was hesitant to buy octopath traveler since it was 60 bucks but I bought it half off for 30 bucks.. overall a pretty good game.. I just don't really think it's worth 60 bucks??

west chasm
#

My biggest issue is when i play an "universally praised game" only to run into literally all the bad things it has by the hour i play

primal whale
#

It's hard to gauge a games worth

brisk trail
#

I actually burned my refund time in Dragon Ball FighterZ just trying the combo exhibition, which doesn't actually teach you how to play the game.

summer forge
#

hades though I don't regret buying it at all price

#

I bought the rest of supergiant's games on sale though

#

because I just can't afford games for full price

brisk trail
#

Supergiant is literally one-of-a-kind, though.

brave thicket
#

i lost 1 tenth of my savings on hades 😦

brisk trail
#

To expect all games to match up to their virtually perfect standard is folly.

brave thicket
#

regret it not tho

primal whale
#

Oh yeah, I'll refund a game rated with "Overwhelmingly Positive" if I find myself at all frustrated due to UI issues or unclear directions on how to play the game

west chasm
#

Supergiant's thing is that they make way too many kinds of games

summer forge
#

I've never seen a company produce so many good games

#

like ever..

brisk trail
#

They've made 3 kinds of games.

west chasm
#

And how many games have they made?

brave thicket
#

4

summer forge
#

supergiant can take my entire wallet if they want which i'm fine with because I don't have much to begin with

#

4 including hades

brisk trail
#

2 action RPGs, 1 visual novel, 1 roguelite.

west chasm
#

Exactly

primal whale
#

I'd pay a hundred dollars for this game if I knew how much i'd end up enjoying it

west chasm
#

My point is most people could potentially play one of their games and not enjoy the others

summer forge
#

mate i'll buy this game AGAIN once it's released on platforms

#

that's just how good supergiant's games are

brisk trail
#

That's true of any developer.

#

One data point is not enough.

#

Ever.

west chasm
#

There is a lot of quality, but can you say someone with 100hs on Pyre will like Hades the same way?

brave thicket
#

i dont have mutiple platforms

summer forge
#

i'd buy them again just to have them on other platforms.. hopefully the switch

brisk trail
#

Period.

summer forge
#

I bought bastion and transistor on the switch since they were on sale

#

isn't pyre a visual novel

brisk trail
#

90%.

primal whale
#

Yeah, but I knew I'd like this game because of how consistent these devs are in their aesthetic, even though the only other game I had played was Bastion

west chasm
#

It's a weird rugby thing too

brisk trail
#

The remaining 10% is a sports thing.

primal whale
#

I've since bought Transistor and loved it, thinking about Pyre next

west chasm
#

You just yeet yourself into their... well, pyre

brave thicket
#

is it a funeral pyre or a sacrificial pyre?

west chasm
#

Yes

summer forge
#

I'll admit I haven't played pyre enough to rate it.. and i'm not the type of person to enjoy visual novel games but i'm going to say since supergiant games has created it.. either way it's still a good game if it's coming from them

primal whale
#

It's a pie, er....

summer forge
#

even if it's not in my personal interest

#

I trust the games made by supergiant

west chasm
#

Eh, i dunno

#

I don't really let popular critique define my opinion

summer forge
#

transistor is a good game too I've played only like a couple of hours on it though

primal whale
#

It's also normal to just dislike a genre of game, no matter how well its made

west chasm
#

If i think a game is bad, idc it has 95% like ratio on steam

summer forge
#

well that's just from my own personal experience of playing 3 of out of 4 games that supergiant currently has

primal whale
#

Transistor is fantastic but I wish it was like 10x longer

summer forge
#

even though it's not a genre I'm into.. it seems like it's a good game

brisk trail
#

10x longer might be an exaggeration.

primal whale
#

Not for my wish, I'd love to expand that game out to epic proportions

worthy egret
#

Idk i didnt mind Tran being that short. maybe if it was like an hour longer i dunno

brisk trail
#

I'd like 10x the OST.

west chasm
#

It's an issue tho, sometimes some games commit so much to their story they can't allow more content

worthy egret
#

oh worm

primal whale
#

But the size that it is works for how they made it

brisk trail
#

Just a billion different tracks that are all as good as The Spine or Gateless.

#

I actually had this discussion with a friend years ago; Neither of us wanted SGG to get any bigger than an indie studio if it ever meant their games would drop in quality.

primal whale
#

It's true that knowing when to end a game, even if it's a few hours long, is something to be appreciated

brisk trail
#

Knowing when to end any work.

primal whale
#

yep

#

Which is a very hard thing to do

novel wasp
#

End Me

brisk trail
#

Breaking Bad ended after 5.5 seasons because extending it any further compromised the story arc.

summer forge
#

It's also one of the reasons why I bought both bastion and transistor on the switch and not buying pyre

west chasm
#

Thing is, the gameplay is good too

worthy egret
#

god gateless and the spine are my favourites

west chasm
#

Imo the best way to balance this out is lower stakes

summer forge
#

can't wait until hades is on the switch though 👀

brave thicket
#

how good is transistor?

worthy egret
#

@brave thicket VERY

novel wasp
#

It transist your reality

#

it feels like transistor

primal whale
#

Yeah, it's extremely tempting to want to draw out something that's immensely popular, but knowing when something has run its course gives that work of art a far better legacy

west chasm
#

They allow for more freedom and space to move in the story, and thus more levels and stuff

im honestly glad transistor was my introduction to sgg

Quick reminder that while this conversation is totally kosher for #off-topic-discussion, we really should stick to Hades for this chat.

brave thicket
#

yes

summer forge
#

idk about you but when I was in HS all I wanted to do was stay at home

brave thicket

i need to have a drive to study

summer forge

I only invested like 30 hours on hades because I have other stuff to do in my life

brave thicket

finals is still not cancelled

otherwise I wouldn't mind sitting on my PC and spending the whole day trying to escape hell

i cant because pc is dusty af and i cant fix it for the time being

so no games or else it goes brrrr

I'm lucky enough to have a gaming pc..

#

dw it's not your typical rainbow with water cooling system gaming PC...

novel wasp
#

i hate rainbow colored

#

those are for children

#

I wish a gaming pc can stop advertising rainbow bs

#

water cooling is good tho, better than air ones, easier to clean, just a risk of installing but find someone to install for you you are gucci

brave thicket
#

rainbow colored pcs existeth?

summer forge
#

it's mostly just the LED lights that people install in their fans or anywhere else in their coputer

#

I have water cooling parts I can install but i'd rather not

#

there isn't enough room in the computer for that

#

honestly I'd rather just have like a color or two lighting up in my computer

#

I think i'd go with purple or pastel green

novel wasp
#

i go with none

summer forge
#

👀 oh well

wide stream
#

guys

#

thunder dash or blade dash

primal whale
#

woof that depends on your weapon, aspect and current boons andhammers

#

But also it doesn'tmatter much

jade grove
#

#h1-builds-and-combat, depends on your build, but in all honestly unless you REALLY despise the skullcrusher miniboss, go with thunderbolt and save yourself the irritation of blade dash's inability to get status, hunting blades, or anything you'd really want to make a dash attack build worth it

wide stream
#

i have normal engulfing vortex but idk if its any good

#

i dont mind selling it

jade grove
#

Blade dash is for shredding blue shields and that's most of it, but with engulfing I GUESS it has some very minor CC ability.

primal whale
#

id go blade dash then

jade grove
#

that said, it does at least have some CC. but personally, I prefer building for status if you use Privileged Status instead of Family Favorite.

#

Lightning dash is mainly a jolt application tool if you get jolted

wide stream
#

i dont have those since lightning is my main build

primal whale
#

Still would need static discharge to get a status effect

wide stream
#

i have level 3 thunder flourish with rare static discharge

jade grove
#

Hmm? If you already have lightning as your main attack, I guess you can take blade for some CC, since you're already spamming enough jolts

primal whale
#

okay if lightning is your main build then just stick with it

jade grove
#

Wait, what's your existing blade rift? Cast?

#

And what's the third boon?

wide stream
#

i think it makes sense to take the epic thunderdash and swap it out for my current rare blade dash

primal whale
#

also, neither dash will have a big impact unless you're heavily invested in lightning or blade rifts

wide stream
#

running pretty hybrid

#

i even have greatest reflex

primal whale
#

what weapon?

jade grove
#

What are the other boons in the selection, though?

wide stream
#

sheild of chaos

#

normal electric shot and billowing strength

#

seems bad wiht my build

primal whale
#

Honestly, neither dash will strengthen you much, but you might get zeus legendary so might as well zeus dash

wide stream
#

ok thanks then i guess i will get the thunder dash

#

yeah i think it will be good with static discharge

primal whale
#

The times your dash boon makes a big impact are: Athena always, any dash that will apply a status effect if you are running privileged status from the mirror, artemis dash if your main damage is dash-attack, ares dash if you're heavily invested in a ares-cast/blade rift build, and then maybe demeter dash for the chill effect

jade grove
#

*a status effect if you have priv stat and don't have that status on another slot, at least

#

Demeter if on controller. On KBM it's a bit... pants.

primal whale
#

yeah, I should have added that

jade grove
#

Blade dashes... I GUESS they work if you're already at his legendary and fully decked out, like, DPS is DPS is DPS

primal whale
#

Oh, also aphrodite dash for damage reduction

#

or so you can take advantage of heart rend

#

but athena dash takes priority over everything almost 100% of the time

jade grove
#

tbf, Aphro Dash is kinda annoying to hit with.

primal whale
#

Exceptions being nemesis aspect on sword

jade grove
#

Nasty is actually quite good in and of itself, bit more reliable/lower investment comparable effect to Ares dash, but ramps up significantly less unless you run black out

#

Or whatever Dio's dash is called this month :p

primal whale
#

or, uh, I guess a fully invested blade rift build

#

Stagger dash maybe

#

lol

#

idk tbh because the wiki needs some updating. Drunken dash

#

is whats up

wide stream
#

lol just got splitting bolt lmao

jade grove
#

👌

primal whale
#

That's great, that was the reason to take zeus dash

jade grove
#

yeah sounds like good rng there

wide stream
#

yeah i think i have been quite lucky haha

primal whale
#

This game also gives you a lot of ways to manipulate rng, which I love

wide stream
#

yeah i feel its intentional all i am getting is zeus and ares boons

primal whale
#

Can everyone agree that Zag loves knuckle heads way more than any other fish?

novel wasp
#

come on you knuckleheads

I caught a knucklehead!

Hi all, a quick question about Hades (which I bought because I should be working on my thesis instead). How does the EA model works with story? I.e. I start playing the game now, I'll progress somewhat in the story, they'll add new things -> I'll miss it?

#

Story is one of the biggest parts of supergiant experience for me so I'm perfectly happy waiting on 1.0 if it's the only way to get the full story 🙂

Hi all, a quick question about Hades (which I bought because I should be working on my thesis instead). How does the EA model works with story? I.e. I start playing the game now, I'll progress somewhat in the story, they'll add new things -> I'll miss it?
@true tiger Nope, it gets retroactively placed in.

Often if you have passed where it would normally come in, then the next time you talk to that person it is what they talk about

abstract fable
#

From what I understand, most of what is going to be added is late game and/or the actual ending

steel ledge
#

at least that's been my experience

abstract fable
#

You shouldn’t miss much or anything at all

#

And yeah what he said

#

There’s also multiple save slots available so you could easily start again to see things if you want

steel ledge
#

It does sometimes mean someone will mention something that is dismissive after you have befriended them, which can be jarring.

#

But that's only on massive changes

true tiger
#

I know, but somehow I can't replay games even (or especially) if I really like them.

#

There's something about the first experience 😄

steel ledge
#

Basically, as you go on, and keep playing, you will constantly get new stuff

spring plaza
#

There's something about the first experience 😄
@true tiger Then wait for the final built. Hades is an amazing game but somehow limited in how you can play. For now, there are only 4 biomes, hence once you unlocked and tried all combinations of boons and weapons, the novelty is off. Yet, if you are a completionist or a competitive player, you will have lots to do. Some quests are based on specific actions and a numbers of runs done and once the game offers a vast range of challenges which increases the difficulty in many ways.

worthy egret
#

Tbh

#

Im 83 hours in and still not bored

true tiger
#

Also, what about the games length when you want to see most of the story but aren't literally 100 % person?

#

i.e. how quickly can it be finished if a person isn't super good at these types of games and wants to see most of the world but not necessarily all

#

(i.e. a person who did all normal challenges (incl. all Sandra's) in pyre, but played it just once, or tried to unlock all combinations & read them in transistor but ... again didn't play new game plus)

steel ledge
#

I mean, a run, if you do well and beat the final boss, takes 35 mins, but you start again. I mean, I've seen a lot of story, complete 10 times, have about 102 attempts, average at about 26 mins per run so I've done about 44 hours

(when you get better, a run to beat final boss will be about 20 mins)

Oh yeah, the guy below reminded me, you need to upgrade youself, so you won't win first try. It will be about 30-40 runs before you get to end boss, and probably another 10-20 runs before you beat it

spring plaza
#

@true tiger There are only four biomes for now. You can finish the game as beat the final boss (as it is now) under 10 hours if you are an average player and do not spend time collecting things around. Even when you have beaten the final boss, you won't have unlocked all the weapon and tried all the boons.

#

Now, the fun is to try many combinations of weapons and boons and try the challenges offered on the run

true tiger
#

Cool.

spring plaza
#

It really depends on you and how you play games and how you enjoy Hades. See @worthy egret sank more than 80 hours in the game and is still far from being bored. Myself, I am a lame player so at high difficulty I find the game more tedious than fun. Some other players will seek those increasing challenges.

true tiger
#

To be perfectly honest, I'm not a superfan of rogue-like type of games...

But then again, despite being a HUGE bastion and transistor fan I was putting of playing pyre because I'm absolutely not into sports game... and when I finally bought it a week ago I finished in 3 days due to how awesome it was. Not only the story (Red is still the best character, but overall Pyre is probably the best from supergiant and one of the best overall, especially given its progression) but even the gameplay grew on me after few hours (later rites were blast to play through).

So I thought I might give Hades a chance despite not liking the genre 🙂

worthy egret
#

Should also mention that

#

It took me much more than 10 hours to beat the final boss

#

Which has not much to do with the 80 hours and not being bored but that like

#

There are vastly different times people take to finish it

#

I think i took like 30

spring plaza
#

@true tiger But, the next update is in June, not so far from now. So work on your thesis then in June enjoy the game updated with even more content

worthy egret

And also, this is my first rogue like so i was learning the ropes too

Why does this one server's announcements channel always bug out

cinder siren
#

it's discord, not the server itself

narrow hemlock
#

cause of the mass amount of people the announcements go to

chilly stump
#

I think it's related to server size but I'm not positive. 🤔

cinder siren
#

It is. Too many people checking @ one time basically locks people out.

brisk trail
#

so it's because it's one of those special feed channels?

cinder siren
#

No

brisk trail
#

I mean I don't see why a channel would stop loading just because lots of people look at it 🤔

chilly stump
#

No, this occurred before that feature was implemented.

There's "too many people" and then there's literal thousands of people checking it at once

They are! they're VERY different from their base forms (practically their own weapon), but they;re really strong

waxen ice
#

i can unlock spear with one more blood

#

how do i deal with the minus to health though?

flat vapor
#

the upgrades to the weapon are about reducing the hp loss

#

you regain hp by hitting foes with your spin attack, which is now a moving projectile

#

@olive escarp I think [Redacted] is the final boss. But we'll see come June

waxen ice
#

oh, i did not know you can charge the spear round-swing and dash mid charge to unleash it as you move forward

#

i thought to copy the final boss' move and it works

unique igloo
#

Oh yeah, that's a thing...

#

It had been a while since I used spear and I was like, I guess the spin is alright for hydra

#

anyone know if there's a way to cheat engine for titian blood?

#

or mabye edit your save file?

brisk trail
nimble ocean
#

titan blood and ambrosia are an issue only before first time beating the game.. well, if not beating is a requirement, maybe ppl from Hades modding know something..

olive escarp
#

oh nah, just too much grind

#

i have the same problem as this dude

#

i just wanted the blood to test upgrades

#

but cant refund them since it s not a feature yet

brisk trail
#

yeah its a bummer

slim thistle
#

Ya, when I unlocked titan blood for the gun I didn't notice that I could do it for all weapons, since I had just gotten the farthest I had ever with it, I thought it was a reward, so I put all my titan blood in that and I barely use the gun, so that was a big oof moment

#

I sank 6 titan blood into a weapon I rarely use

#

yay

olive escarp
#

X.x

slim thistle
#

yeah, thats probally more so my fault

#

still mad at myself for not noticing

nimble ocean
#

opposite problem.. i've been always afraid to spend titan blood, if i don't know yet if it'll be worth it.. and ended up with everything unlocked and almost nothing upgraded

olive escarp
#

mabye something to ask the devs?

#

for refundable titian blood

slim thistle
#

Ya, it could be cool, like how you can refund your darkness in the mirror at the cost of a key

olive escarp
#

meanwhile, if you really want to get back that blood

#

there's a mod to just add anything you want

I'll make a secoind file just to experiment and have fun

what is the best fist aspect atm?

#

Probably Demeter.

flat vapor
#

waxen ice
#

what is so good about the final aspect of spear?

radiant tangle
#

Lifesteal

waxen ice
#

i only have 50 life atm

#

it cuts it in half

#

idk how i am supposed to survive things in the final area, especially the boss

merry harbor
#

Because your HP's so low it sets off one-shot protection really easily and lets you heal even if you do take a big hit

waxen ice
#

one-shot protection?

merry harbor
#

the spin attack does decent damage and the special is essentially an on-demand explosive skewer with slightly recued damage

#

yeah, anything not a trap will not take you from max hp to 0 in my experience

#

you take a fraction and are invul for like a second

waxen ice
#

what keepsakes are best with it?

quaint bramble
#

Prob broken spearpoint right?

waxen ice
#

i just got that, it seems decent atm

merry harbor
#

That i'm lesss good about because I'm a pierced butterfly diehard, but I've heard artemis is great with it.

waxen ice
#

which one is artemis? spearpoint?

merry harbor
#

Arrowhead. Spearpoint is invul if you take damage.

#

Also if you're antsy about being lower life than usual on the final boss, acorn is way better bang for your buck with spear than the DD from Skelly.

waxen ice
#

acorn?

merry harbor
#

Eurydice's,, um. Gives you free hiits against bosses.

#

Up to 5 at max rank.

waxen ice
#

so artemis boons are really good for spear i guess?

#

do you normally go with the coin purse in the beginning?

flat vapor
#

arty boons are generally just good

merry harbor
#

Gonna let other people step in for like, keepsake tal, though,k because... again, I'm bad, just go with the flow of RNG, and keep Pierced Butterfly on the whole ways through.

waxen ice
#

how do you get that one?

merry harbor
#

Thanatos' keepsake. Gives damage up if you clear a room without taking damage. It's not everyone's thing and isn't optimal to do, but it's fun.

waxen ice
#

ha, i got 2 duo boons in one run so far on the second area

#

Poseidon and aphrodite, and artemis and aphrodite

ah wait no

I'm sure there's a variation of the Greek mythos made by someone that's... hormonal that everyone's a young woman.

umbral sigil
#

I just had a crazy run, and have come to the conclusion that Bull Rush is op af.

lethal fog
#

shield is OP

umbral sigil
#

I've only ever beaten ||hades|| (finally boss spoilers) once, but have reached a point where I can usually reach them... and I only took 50 damage against them this time, because of the shield + deflecting attack and special + divine protection.

#

And with the hammer upgrade to make bull rush a lot faster, I just zipped back and forth through the boss till they died.

lethal fog
#

the blocking is nice but the real value comes from chaos aspect special. you can use it to trigger things like zeus boon, or ares/athena duo a ton for good DPS on bosses, and also get good room clear so you dont take a lot of damage

umbral sigil
#

True, though my chaos aspect is still level 1 soo... sticking with zues aspect till I get more blood.

lethal fog
#

just do zag aspect then

umbral sigil
#

Nah. I'm not a fan of it's special, even if it is really strong.

lethal fog
#

I guess. blitz disc just seems so bad though

umbral sigil
#

It's great for stacking things like chill, hangover, or doom (when you get the stacking doom boon)

#

And it's such a large area, if you give it deflecting, it's crazy. Since you can throw it out reactively without any end-lag, it doesn't make you get hit by follow up attacks.

lethal fog
#

if you are doing that then the best option would be deflect on it and get ares/athena duo for all the extra damage if you can get an enemy to stay still for it

umbral sigil
#

Yep. My previous win was similar- though I just used the athena dash instead of the shield, since I didn't have it unlocked yet.

#

The zues aspect of the shield, I mean.

lethal fog
#

athena dash is best dash

primal whale
#

no doubt. There are like 3 cases where you would consider a different dash

#

but taking athena even then is still great

lusty stump
#

athena dash is great no matter of what rarity it is

#

that what makes it the best dash next to Poseidon's dash I feel like

novel wasp
#

Poseidon dash is okay

sharp parcel
#

take Poseidon dash and walk into Erebus

#

your opinion will change on the spot

lethal fog
#

I hate Poseidon dash on melee weapons, but I do tons of dash attacks so it makes it really hard to keep doing damage

primal whale
#

Poseidon dash destroys most enemies but is pretty useless against bosses

novel wasp
#

^

#

@sharp parcel I defeat erebus with no gimmicks i doubt i will change anything

lethal fog
#

I mean it does good work against most enemies, but the way I play it just makes it hard to get damage on enemies or im at range all the time anyways. I could be dashing through enemies for damage but no

west chasm
#

That's what i don't like about poseidon boons

brisk trail
#

I'm pretty sure I've eaten Flamewheel blasts or had enemies tank the knockback and still hit me in Erebus.

west chasm
#

They are not good vs bosses, which is 50% of a boon's effectiveness

#

How does they pose boon for knock away on bosses even work?

lethal fog
#

the legendary or the extra damage ones?

sharp parcel
#

are you talking about Wave Pounding, the one that increases the damage of knockback boons?

brisk trail
#

You get 10, 20, or 30% extra damage against Underworld Bosses.

#

The damage is additive, not multiplicative, and is generally representative of Poseidon's kit: shadeugh

lethal fog
#

there are 3 or 4 that affect knock back. the extra damage, the second knock back, the extra wall slam damage. isnt there one for an aoe on wall slams?

lusty stump
#

man imagine if Poseidon kit got a rework

lethal fog
#

there is, breaking wave does an aoe stun and damage on wall slam. also razor shoals for the dot, and sea storm for the lightning damage

sharp parcel
#

just remove knockback and make rupture a built-in effect

#

there, fixed

#

enemies move around all the time, no need to push em

lusty stump
#

doesn't it make it Dio 2.0

#

or I am fairly wrong

lethal fog
#

yes. some knock back would still be good like on cast

sharp parcel
#

rupture doesn't stack

lethal fog
#

it would be similar to Dio but rupture is every 0.2 seconds

brisk trail
#

Gotcha, Dio v0.4.

lusty stump
#

Zeus is really just Dio v0.5 tbh

#

I had to say it

brisk trail
#

You'd be wrong.

sharp parcel
#

rupture also pierces shields

lethal fog
#

ooh nice

sharp parcel
#

not that it's relevant outside of Elysium

#

or even in Elysium

#

and it doesn't so much pierces as it procs on knockback

#

so even though the action might be blocked, the knockback still triggers rupture

#

I got an idea

#

what if Poseidon boons created an AOE knockback explosion around the target (a la Poseidon cast) which pushed surrounding enemies and procced Wall Slam on em

brisk trail
#

Back before Long Winter, I was thinking that Apollo could have an AoE effect on his boons, but then we got Demeter instead.

sharp parcel
#

and Wave Pounding would be changed to inflict Wall Slam damage on the primary target, with rarities being 25/50/75/100%

lethal fog
#

I really like that aoe knock back idea

sharp parcel
#

Slam also procs stagger by default, so you won't run into a situation where you knocked someone back and they punched you while sliding

#

these changes would also make Typhon's Fury and Breaking Wave finally useful outside of Styx

#

cause the AOE hit is a Slam

#

S Y N E R G Y

lethal fog
#

it would just make me want to pick up his boons on most weapons

sharp parcel
#

I mean, that's the point

#

make him useful. Obviously, the numbers would need some tweaking

#

can't have 2k slams in Elysium

lethal fog
#

I would be ok with that. elysium is way to long

primal whale
#

Ive always seen poseidons main theme as a smaller enemy destroyer, but severely lacking in boss fights

#

His call is pretty high priority for most of my builds, and then outside of that, the increased gold boon is handy and anything else Ill pickup to sell for underworld customs

brisk trail
#

I actually used to hate poseidon

#

But with the golden bow and rupture effect he's so good

#

Then if ur lucky enough u can get bonus damage vs bosses to compensate for the uselessness of his boons against bosses

lethal fog
#

I really like him with chiron bow. knock back on attack and special is great, rupture is a nice bit of DPS, sea storm adds a ton of damage to the special, and the special does knock back redacted, and champions in Elysium

#

I had a run with legendary, tempest flourish, and sea storm which just melted redacted

sharp parcel
#

but consecutive arrow hits just push the target out of arrows' range, no?

brisk trail
#

Chiron.

sharp parcel
#

yes, consecutive arrows hits off the special

#

the special has max range after which the arrows just disappear

brisk trail
#

I've never seen that happen, I'll have to give it a look next time I play.

peak berry
#

is there a way to transfer my saves from epic launcher over to steam if i bought hades on steam?

lethal fog
#

yeah Im rarely even close to max range with bow

#

copy the files from epic directory to steam directory

sharp parcel
#

we must play in very different styles, cuz I'm at max range most of the time

brisk trail
#

Saves automatically transfer, but I don't know why you're bothering since you can just stick Hades on your Taskbar and it runs flawlessly without choking your computer.

peak berry
#

ah that easy?

brisk trail
#

You don't need to do anything.

sharp parcel
#

have you already created a profile in your Steam copy?

peak berry
#

fair just like having things in one place, especially since all of the other games are in steam for me

#

i dont have a steam copy yet, was asking for future reference if it was even possible

sharp parcel
#

it's possible, and from what I'm seeing you don't actually need to move anything

#

Hades uses its own save folder

#

just install whichever version and it'll pick up the save

peak berry
#

ah thats cool

thanks:)

brisk trail
#

What are the best ckmbinations for shield

lethal fog

I really like zeus on special since it gets lots of room clear and does good damage to bosses, but doom on attack, and deflect on special is really good especially with the duo boon

I've only used it twice so far, but I tried to play around the spin attack and releasing it into a bigger group of monsters to heal + get hammers that make it faster or bigger

Lucky tooth seems to be a good bet later on, also spiked collar, I really just tried my best to get some deflecting boons up in there. Also do be careful when to use the spin, you can easily get dunked while you're charging it

ORANGE JUICE

real question is has anyone tried drinking Titan Blood?

nimble ocean
#

guess it's just a blood.. salty and has a bit of metal taste

worthy egret
#

dont do it you turn into a sword

#

i dont think its just blood

#

but it would probably taste like that

Hey guys, I just picked up the game last night, I played bastion when it first came out so I have some experience with this kind of combat. I was able to get to the hydra and almost beat him!

#

I'm having a difficult time with the bomber skeletons. Particularly the green and orange ones. I can't seem to dodge the bombs very well

I'm having a difficult time with the bomber skeletons. Particularly the green and orange ones. I can't seem to dodge the bombs very well
green is a slow shot that can follow you, and the orange one is a grenade.
usually is preferable to try and predict the orange one, and just dash left/right of the green one

sterile fiber
#

I just spam dash. Its really useful if you have athenas dash boon

hoary sandal
#

or, if you're close to them, just dodging to their sides alredy saves time

sterile fiber
#

high tech strats brought to you by my single braincell

brisk trail
#

Orange skeletons, Inferno Bombers, also have a move where they drop 3 bombs that all go off very quickly.

hoary sandal
#

I just spam dash. Its really useful if you have athenas dash boon
or you can spam dash like a maniac, like me and most of the server

brisk trail
#

Green skeletons, Burnflingers, also have a line drive throw in addition to their homing bomb.

sterile fiber
#

spam all ur keys its bound to work sometime

hoary sandal
#

if you have shield, bull rush like you're going to try smashing someone

#

bc that's actually what you're going to do

wind nest
#

I've been enjoying the sword so far

#

Any tips for the spear too? I couldn't beat the first boss with it.

#

I couldn't get an aoe charge up with it and I got a hammer upgrade that made the spear aoe MASSIVE

lusty stump
#

generally for usual spear it's best to focus on the basic attack due to how fast it is.

#

suggest trying to get Dionysus or Zeus for it

hoary sandal
#

I think an Artemis fits like a glove with the Special

brisk trail
#

ok so i discovered sth by accident

#

the assist shot from artemis paired with boxing gloves is op

#

you can send like 8 arrows at the same time

hoary sandal
#

oh yea forgot about that

#

shield assist shot is also op

#

like bull rush anywhere and spam damage with it

#

I love bull rush so much

brisk trail
#

what do you use titan blood for?

lethal fog
#

upgrading weapons

hoary sandal
#

store as much as you can

#

you can use it to unlock/upgrade new weapon aspects

#

and some of the aspects are really fun to play with

autumn siren
#

could someone exactly tell me how to meet thanatos, pls? this is probably not the most original question, i know. i did 30+ runs... still no thanatos :/

nimble ocean
#

he just.. comes

#

when not awaited

#

most probably after some times visiting Elysium

flat vapor
#

it's doing a certain number of runs, he should come fairly soon

late zephyr
#

I think I unlocked him after run 30 something in Elysium

wind nest
#

Hey what does titan blood do?

late zephyr
#

You prob need to trigger a set of conversations before unlocking Than cutscenes

#

When you get further in the game, Titan blood is used to upgrade weapons

wind nest
#

I just best the hydra

#

Is there anyway to get more besides beating the first boat?

late zephyr
#

First and final boss each run give titans

#

You can also occassionally buy them for 1.5k gold each run right before final boss if you have it.

autumn siren
#

which conversations?

late zephyr
#

I'm not sure. Just remember to keep talking with the npcs each run

autumn siren
#

i had one cutscene with than and nyx but still didn't meet him. so weird...

flat vapor
#

@wind nest titan blood is a fairly mid-late game resource, after you beat the last boss for the first time

chilly maple
#

any fun new updates in hades?

#

O:

chilly stump
#

Hey there! Our last major update was in early March, and our next update is planned for June.

chilly maple
#

oh

#

Thanks Caitlin 👏

#

time to freeze my self again

merry harbor
#

This is probably a silly question but which channel would jokes about the Illiad go if they pertain to characters in Hades? Off topic?

#

Or here?

lost parcel
#

just found out nyx is a snowbunny

chilly stump
#

Probably still off-topic overall @merry harbor 😄

merry harbor
#

Thanks!

flint fossil
#

@chilly stump Ooh I got a question while you're here! I'm not certain where to uh ask this or put this since I just saw it in a stream and I can't F10 someone else's stream

#

But is the team aware the tiny vermin still breaks the game's music

#

It no longer completely breaks the game but the music is still gone

chilly stump
#

I'm not sure, I'll check!

flint fossil
chilly stump
#

I have been informed we are still aware! Our patching period for the most recent update has ended, so a fix for it will likely come with the next update (along with a ton of other fixes as well).

flint fossil
#

Its a minor bug I was just curious if the team knew!

#

If they didn't I was about to try and get vermin and F10 it

#

❤️ ty for checking

chilly stump
#

Yeah of course, thank you for checking if we'd heard about it! We don't have a ton of reports on it overall.

wind nest
#

With the bow cluster shot + explosion shot does a lot of damage. Like 6x more than normal

#

I just got to the minotaur and only got him about half down. What can I do to avoid his charge?

#

Do I dash through him?

lethal fog
#

dash through the pillars

wind nest
#

Ah clever!

lethal fog
#

if you get him close then dash through the pillar he will crash into it and stop. you can do something similar with the walls but its harder

flat vapor
#

his tracking can be finicky sometimes, especially if he's faster for any reason

#

having faster movement speed or extra dashes usually means you can avoid it no problem, but it's a tricky move to avoid

smoky rune
#

Man, this game. So frigging good

#

How many hours and how much dark before I finally am able to escape? I've logged about 20 hours and have 2000 dark

deep pivot
#

I’d say it depends more on how you fare throughout the escape (luck with boons and such) as well as how well you have familiarized with the game (knowing how each boss attacks, some mechanics, etc)

#

I wish you good luck with your escape 🍀

lethal fog
#

I think I got my 1st escape about 30 hours in

smoky rune
#

Yeah I'm still learning the different synergies. This is one of those games where every loss feels like you're learning something

flat vapor
#

everyone moves at their own pace! take as long as you need to make your first escape, there's a whole lot more content afterwards to be had

smoky rune
#

Just solid design all around

#

@flat vapor makes me happy to hear you say that

#

I finally "beat" BOI Afterbirth olust

#

So this is a great follow up

flat vapor
#

it took me around 100~ tries to make my first escape, and this was around the time when there were only two bosses in the game

smoky rune
#

Oh wow. Ok, cool

#

I'm not in any rush, just more curious about the scope of the game

flat vapor
#

now there's a lot more content, before and after the first escape

brisk trail
#

Holy wtf

#

I got 900 darkness from one run

golden skiff
#

One run I got three Chaos boons that upped my darkness and wound up with nearly 3k, lol.

primal whale
#

If you get athena on dash, you can always just charge Asterius back

regal junco
#

Anyways this game is absolutely amazing

muted coral
#

dumb question but how do you get the fishing pole i know you buy it where you get renovation stuff... i have bought everything i can so far but haven't escaped yet do i have to escape first before its available

i love the ending of this game

slender sonnet

so say we all!

idle marlin
#

Say, what year is it for the humans during the event of Hades?

lusty stump
#

I tried guessing, but it's really hard to tell.

idle marlin
#

It would be pretty funny if Zag just comes up to the human world to the 1900s or something

lusty stump
#

well it's definitely before when there were legends of Arthur and such.

#

since there is mention of that

idle marlin
#

That's... pretty early.

lusty stump
#

and it's definitely around time guan yu after or at the moment of.

sharp parcel
#

they don't have guns yet, according to Ares

lyric fog
#

really liking the dialogue triggers of this game

#

even taking a random item like the yarn triggers a different dialogue from theseus

deep pivot
#

They mentioned ingame that Arthur has yet to be heard of so I'd say before Arthur's time

#

(That is if memory serves me well)

sharp parcel
#

doesn't Guan Yu predate Arthur?

#

he does, yeah

#

oh, I guess Da Vinci could be rail's 4th aspect

lyric fog
#

can aspect of arthur deflect anything?

#

or is it the animation that deflects?

sharp parcel
#

Arthur doesn't deflect anything

#

Athena's boons deflect

deep pivot
#

Aspect of Arthur gives you damage mitigation but doesn't deflect squirtyay

sharp parcel
#

the special's aura slows down projectiles

deep pivot
#

Or was it damage reduction? Either way, it reduces damage taken

sharp parcel
#

both, actually

deep pivot
#

Yes! It also slows projectiles!

#

I just wasn't sure if damage mitigation and damage reduction could be considered the same, that's all

lyric fog
#

goddamn arthur sword hits like a truck

vapid grove
#

Keyboard or Controller?

#

Good idea to start right off the bat on hellmode?

sharp parcel
#

play with whatever you want

#

Hell just prevents you from replaying on lower heat and forces certain modifiers

#

you can practically simulate hell on normal using the same modifiers

primal whale
#

No i wouldn't say it is a good place to start for two reasons. Hell mode starts you off with a few mandatory heats (the things that increase difficulty level), which will make progressing through to the end take longer, which makes unlocking the things that will make you stronger take longer. This is in turn will make learning all of the nuances take longer. Secondly, as you raise heat level in normal mode with any given weapon, you're still given the option to go to a lower heat, or no heat, to practice or try different things out. In Hell mode, you are not allowed to play at a heat lower than the last one you beat for any given weapon.

#

----- I prefer controller, others prefer mouse and keyboard. I'd try both

vapid grove
#

Thank you very much @primal whale ❤️

primal whale
#

I decided to dip into hell mode when I felt like I had accomplished everything I had wanted in normal mode (which provided me enough incentive to still feel like I was making progress and made playing more gratifying). But once you've really gotten the hang of the game, the two modes will honestly feel identical

vapid grove
#

I played dead cells and that just felt like I wasn't gaining anything for my runs ;__;

primal whale
#

Yeah I ran into a similar situation with Hades, but having Hell mode provided me a reason to keep doing runs (albeit a very superficial one, but it worked nonetheless). However, I do still enjoy just doing runs in order to try out certain builds or just see how absolutely over powered I can create a build. And there's also always speed running, which has a very nice community and is definitely another way to set goals

#

I've got 500+ hours in Hades already and I still love playing it, not to mention there is a lot more content scheduled to be released in the future

sharp parcel
#

you do stop gaining cells at 5BC in Dead Cells

#

that's not an issue in Hades, you keep getting stuff to unlock for a very long time

vapid grove
#

So I can select? these abilities i'm getting

#

is that basically taking them away? cause they are active right now but if I hit A on them they light up? lol

latent pine

Hi guys is there any info on how soon the game's coming out?

brisk trail
#

Not until Q3 at the earliest.

vapid grove
#

Slicing shot or Curse of Agony?

brisk trail
#

Spawn?

#

Sorry, I need more context.

vapid grove
#

Your attack inflicts doom
your cast sends a blade rift hurtling ahead
after you take damage, inflict doom on nearby enemies

brisk trail
#

No, I know what they do.

#

I need to know the rest of your build.
