[sage marten]

profit

[sinful pine]

throw on the zapping boon from zeus as well

[lavish locust]

i think my most annoying enemy is the ||satyrs|| i hate them sooooo much

especially if there's more than one

[sinful pine]

the what

[sage marten]

shh

[sinful pine]

hmm

haven't seen those yet

[sage marten]

you still have not found those yet

[lavish locust]

late game enemy

[narrow hemlock]

i just bait flamewheels into blowing up on obstacles

[sage marten]

those come after elysium

[sinful pine]

hm

[lavish locust]

if you want spoilers you can clicky click

[sage marten]

they're really fun to fight

[sinful pine]

i shan't clicky from now on

[sage marten]

artemst, you can ||deflect their poison projectile back at them||

[lavish locust]

if there's more than one, the timing is off and i keep getting statused argh

[patent topaz]

I also hate the bloodless tartarus minibosses how do i miss their waves cALM Down

[sage marten]

it's really, really satisfying

[sinful pine]

minor random thing: the track that plays on the boat in phlegathon

[lavish locust]

Im aware, tho i usually dont run athena

[sinful pine]

i love it

athena is great wdym

deflects 4 days

[lavish locust]

oh i like statuses because of a perk

[sinful pine]

stygius special and deflect is easy but not quick and needs some timing

[lavish locust]

so id prefer aphr over athena

[sinful pine]

though slamming deflect on your atk is solid as well

[lavish locust]

also im bad at timing leave me a lone

[patent topaz]

i love the minibosses tartarus track jesus the hype

[sinful pine]

yess

also on the next q&a i'll ask darren

that bass tone

gimme

[lavish locust]

nods vigorously

[patent topaz]

good riddance instrumental anyone??

[lavish locust]

i am very gay for so many of the characters because of the voice acting

[narrow hemlock]

ares 🥴

[patent topaz]

Is there an ugly character? Even the thugs are hot

[sinful pine]

imma switch to phone brb in 5

[lavish locust]

nah i think supergiant artstyle means even if they're in game unpleasant to look at, they're still pretty

Ares +1

Ngl zagreus slapped me so hard in the attraction meter once i heard him speak like whoops

dionysus too, but more like platonic attraction

Meg tho

Meg

[sinful pine]

I want Poseidon as my dad

ocean man

take me by the hand lead me to the land

[lavish locust]

i don't want any of the elder gods as my parents

you're almost guaranteed to have parent issues with any of them

[sinful pine]

Poseidon?

[sage marten]

cygnus
go poseidon dash
trust me that thing is great

[lavish locust]

have you not read the holy tomes of Percy Jackson

[sinful pine]

I uh

[sage marten]

cygnus, you don't want poseidon as your dad
remember minos?

[sinful pine]

Know my mythology from class

Uuh

Not quite

[lavish locust]

it's fine i haven't either, i only know about it second hand

[sage marten]

percy jackson bad

anyway

[narrow hemlock]

i do not forgive pjo for depicting ares as a bully

[sage marten]

i mean
he halfway was one even in the myths

back to it

[sinful pine]

What about Zeus and his ahem tendencies

I love how even that is referenced

[lavish locust]

i think all the parents in pjo are semi-antagonistic as a default because Adults, but ive only read the first... 2 books? nearly a decade back

[sage marten]

long story short minos went back on his pact with poseidon and in return posi made his wife fall in love with the divine bull he gifted minos to
one wooden cow disguise (courtesy of daedalus) later and the minotaur happened

[narrow hemlock]

sgg's ares interpretation is frankly more accurate than a lot of variants that just make him some angry violent jock, given that wasnt his only quality but everyone seems to think it was

[lavish locust]

greek mythos is messed up as a default, ergo

[sage marten]

you do not mess with any of the olympians, and getting their attention is not always a good thing

[narrow hemlock]

i feel like getting into other interpretations ventures into off topic tho

[lavish locust]

i like SGG ares better too

[sage marten]

getting their aid is nice, but their personal attention? that never ends well

[lavish locust]

more nuance, more hannibal

still murdery

[sinful star]

Terrible idea: Zag gets the ability to play custom songs, a la Big Band in Skullgirls.

[flat vapor]

more hot

[sinful pine]

Greek Mythos is just a giant family drama, with the family being half of Greece because some God was feeling it

[sage marten]

yeah, we need the ability to play actual songs with the lyre

[lavish locust]

Personal attention of olympians is a bane

[sage marten]

i just want to play despacito for the underworld

[lavish locust]

Oh sweet hyacinth

[sage marten]

is it that much to ask

[patent topaz]

gimme keeping up with the olympians now

[flat vapor]

is there ever an ancient greek related piece of media that doesn't involve family drama

[sage marten]

no

[sinful pine]

No

[sage marten]

well there's a couple

but they are very few

[patent topaz]

nuh uh

[sinful star]

HECK Zag just...strolling out of his room while Hades is trying to paper-push just playing and singing Despacito.

[sage marten]

the vast majority of them involve heavily family drama, more often than not between the gods, mortals or both thanks to zeus

[sinful pine]

As a descendant of the people that worshipped these gods I can confirm

[sinful star]

And Orpheus just shrugs and joins in

[lavish locust]

oh interesting thing, the mythos of gods in each culture can show to a certain degree of accuracy how a culture views certain aspects of society

Greek mythos in particular is very family oriented

[sage marten]

we already tricked orpheus into making the hymn of zagreus
we can sure as hell trick the poor sod into playing despacito with the lyre

[lavish locust]

yes

please

despacito on the lyre - Zagreus s/o Hades 2020

[patent topaz]

and astronomia

[sage marten]

i kinda feel bad for the poor lad
we're just messing with him but he takes it all so seriously

[patent topaz]

the coffin dance song

[flat vapor]

there has to be a pun involving despacito i can make here

[sinful pine]

Zeus is also considered god of hospitality sometimes (Ξένιος Ζευς, the word Ξένιος comes from the word Ξένος, foreign)

[sinful star]

Or he strolls up to Meg and just plays that one Vine like "I love thee, wench. And I shalt not ever stop loving thee...wench."

[sinful pine]

Coffin song is fitting for the game rly

[sage marten]

yeah, there's actually a myth regarding zeus and hospitality iirc
Baucis and uh
i forgot how the other one was called

[lavish locust]

it was funny the first time, but then Zagreus realizing Orph is taking it seriously and being like "oh, im an a**hole"

[sinful star]

Baucis and Philemon?

[sage marten]

yes!

[sinful pine]

Me playing Hades for the first time: oh look megaera
The 3 furies: coffin dance

[sage marten]

dude basically turned the whole town into a lake because they were not hospitable with people except the two elderly people who were actually hospitable with him, which he granted a free wish to each basically

[sinful pine]

I just remembered

Zeus would often disguise himself as an old man and ask for hospitality at random homes

[lavish locust]

I have just posted the astronomia that would fit in here

in the off-topic

[sinful pine]

Back in ancient Greece hospitality was a big deal, people would believe any visitor could be Zeus himself

[sage marten]

yeah
baucis and philemon is basically that, and another tale also involved zeus being disguised and cannibalism

and some guy getting lightning'd for it

[lavish locust]

that's why hestia was such a big part of the pantheon until it was ceeded to dionysus innit?

[sinful pine]

Something like that

[sage marten]

even then she remained an important part of it
iirc it hestia was less about hospitality and more about the house proper instead

[sinful pine]

Basically

[sage marten]

tending to the hearth and the family etc

[sinful pine]

Fun fact: Hestia is written Εστία in Greek (modern)

The H is because of an obsolete system

A tiny symbol on top of a vowel that indicates how to pronounce

Polytonic it's called iirc

[lavish locust]

it's the stressed 'eh' sound yeah?

[sinful pine]

Not stressed

We still have that

A small c symbol on top of the vowel

[acoustic sand]

TIME TO PLAY HADES

[clever halo]

Wait, this can be played???

[dawn tangle]

btw now that hestia was mentioned

she ain't in the game right?

i haven't seen hestia, hera, demeter and apolo

although i have heard demeter is in, but it's unlocked later on

[lavish locust]

hestia, hera and apollo are mentioned but they aren't directly in the game afaik

[dawn tangle]

hope they add them

well, i know the blessing pool is already a bit crowded, but would feel weird not having those 3 appear in some way

[acoustic sand]

what do people often say to Hestia ?

[dawn tangle]

ok, what do they often say to hestia?

[acoustic sand]

gurl, you're 🔥

[dawn tangle]

yep, expected no less

[acoustic sand]

[sinful pine]

My head canon is that Poseidon listens to ocean man

I don't think ssg should make a multiplayer game

[patent topaz]

[sinful pine]

The resources needed to keep it running would hinder future games

[acoustic sand]

[acoustic sand]

i was about to go for Die Young

[patent topaz]

aw yeah that was my jam
but that's also a bit creepy than you ok

also
transistore

[clever halo]

Y'know, if I knew who the Greek god of wind, I could almost make an argument for that song being about the Greek pantheon.

[acoustic sand]

why

[clever halo]

Seasons (Demeter) don't fear the Reaper (Thanatos) Nor do the wind (?), the sun (Apollo), or the rain (Persephone.)

[patent topaz]

eeh there were a lot
Eolus, Zephyr etc, depends on what wind
also Eolus wasn't really a god?

[clever halo]

Demigod, as I recall. I don't even remember Zephyr. Google time.

[sage marten]

zephyr was a god proper iirc

[clever halo]

Ah, because it was Zephyrus.

[sage marten]

emphasis on iirc anyway

[patent topaz]

yeeted a disk on apollo's bf's forehead bc he was jealous

[acoustic sand]

I'm so bad at jokes this game actually did a miracle in inspiring me even one bad pun

[clever halo]

...Also Zephyros, Zephyr, or...Anemoi.

[acoustic sand]

i'm waiting for more aspects added to joke on them

that's a big project of mine

[patent topaz]

the chaos one was so good

[acoustic sand]

lmao

do you know which god is the most terrifying ?

[patent topaz]

😐

[acoustic sand]

[clever halo]

I find the lore here interesting. We're literally playing a game about dying and Hell, but they're trying to keep the gods PG-13.

[acoustic sand]

[acoustic sand]

good Hypnos date

[proper tree]

This has probably been asked before, but is there potential for a console release for this game?

[vast junco]

Will Hades ever come to other platforms?
We expect to bring Hades to a variety of other platforms once Early Access is complete. We haven't decided on all the platforms yet.

from the #hades-faq !

[flat vapor]

the next update is actually focusing on getting the game compatible with other platforms

[proper tree]

Ah okay, cool! Thank you!

[dawn tangle]

i was celebrating i had beaten the final boss

but that

that was a cheap shot

[minor stone]

Any reason there is no way to view Boons in some sort of tree for each God?

I'd love to be able to open up Zeus and see what all the Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, and Duo Boons are.

I'm picturing a simple tree that the user can select a Boon from. The Boon information would show up on the right side of the screen. The tree itself would be on the left side of the screen.

Otherwise I'd have to leave the game in order to learn about the different boons for each god. This is especially time consuming when I want to see what is required for a given Duo boon (or simply to check what the Duo boon does). It breaks the immersion for me.

It could also be something where it only shows boons that you've previously seen in the rewards screens or perhaps boons that you've selected.

[lavish locust]

could leave that in feedback, i personally think it'd be cool if there was like a log with acquired boons that included their stats

[minor stone]

Okay. I will write up a piece of feedback for it.

Any suggestions for it?

[lavish locust]

cause right now the only in game list of boons is the ||fates list|| but it doesn't include the specific stats or even their description

[minor stone]

Yes that isn't sufficient for me personally

Since it is essentially just names to a newer player

That is actually what prompted the idea

Since I couldn't click to see what those boons do!

Same goes for duo boons because they require specific boons to unlock and the only way I find them are by accident (which is fun) or by looking online because I want to finish that task for the 8 Ambrosia reward.

[lavish locust]

i getchu

tho i think it'd be fun if maybe it's an unlock thing by increasing relationship with a particular god

or even maybe a work order

[minor stone]

Screen that let's the player view the boons for each god. The player can select a boon to see it's description, tier, stats, and prerequisites. Boons could remain hidden until the player has seen (or acquired) the boon in one of their runs.

How does that sound?

Hmm I like those unlock ideas

Screen that let's the player view the boons for each god. The player can select a boon to see it's description, tier, stats, and prerequisites. Each boon can remain hidden until the player unlocks the ability to view it.

Some ideas for how boons could be unlocked:
Seen (or acquired) the boon in one of their runs.
Work order.
Reach a certain relationship level with the god.

[novel wasp]

so far the story of the game is very much separated from gameplay

[barren ember]

I just got Poseidon's aid, but I can't figure out which button it is asking for on the controller, or what the god gauge is

[minor stone]

God Gauge is a bar that fills up in the bottom left of the screen

[novel wasp]

except the companion but you are still able to beat the game without hte companion

[minor stone]

Each encounter, it starts empty (unless you have a special boon)

I don't know which button it is for controllers since I'm currently stuck on PC lol

Without a controller to connect

There is probably something in the menu that would tell you

The term for those Aid abilities is: Call

@barren ember ^

[high island]

L2/LT on pad for calls.

[barren ember]

Yeah I see that it says call. Does any other move use it?

Left trigger?

[minor stone]

No

Each god has a Call

But you only have that one button for it

[barren ember]

Oh cool!

[high island]

Wait no, R2/RT for calls. L2/LT is ||companions||.

[barren ember]

Probably don't want to look at that lol

[minor stone]

What does everyone use? Controller or mouse & keyboard?

[winter river]

Anyone know how to access the boon/weapon upgrade icons in the game files?

[barren ember]

I got a steam controller for sale when they were discontinuing them (?)

[high island]

Yes. Everyone uses controller or mouse & keyboard.

[barren ember]

Is there a way to ask the game to save?

Either in the journey or while at base

[winter river]

@high island Not me, I play with an abacus.

[high island]

Can't save manually.

I play on an Xbox One pad.

[minor stone]

I think the game auto-saves after each room

[winter river]

If you quit it saves from the previous room (don't press give up though)

[minor stone]

Quit != Give Up lol

Give Up is when you are in an encounter and wish to resign the run

Quit just quits the game and preserves your save state

[winter river]

Ya, there was a bug at one point that I think made the game automatically give up if you crashed mid encounter when give up was available instead of quit. I was pretty sad when that happened.

[barren ember]

I'd there a quit button somewhere? I see give up

Oh hmm I see it now

Where give up used to be

Not sure how it changes lol

[winter river]

ya, one or the other is available at a given time. Quit is only available outside combat.

[barren ember]

Oooh ok

[minor stone]

They don't let you quit mid-combat

Because players could quit before dying

Then restart

Which would defeat the purpose of the game lol

[novel wasp]

uh oh chaos sister

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/690142427218313323/699747838090805339/Screen_Shot_2016-08-01_at_12.png everytime I see the chaos boon strike thumbnail it reminded me of this

[flat vapor]

give up appears when you first take damage in a chamber or are in the middle of choosing a boon

give up resets to quit whenever you autosave

[dawn tangle]

there is currently no use to lvl up god's friendship other than filling the codex right?

they don't give companions i mean

[flat vapor]

lore, story, and dialogue

but yes, no mechanical benefit

[upper meteor]

I really wish there was a better "give up" button

Like... just a button to die and return to the House

[neon jackal]

Is there a place where you can see which bugs they are aware of, regardless of being worked on them or not?

[narrow hemlock]

they dont list those to my knowledge

as far as i know much of the team does keep an eye over the discord and some of steam but theres no telling what theyre aware of unless they directly address it, like aphrodite being broken currently (affection).

[neon jackal]

It's just that it has happened twice that if I summon battie in the Theseus fight the lower left part of the UI dissapears

[narrow hemlock]

you can f10 ingame to report bugs

[neon jackal]

So I didn't know if there was a place to let them know. Or see if there was no point doing it because they were aware.

[granite ether]

if you come across a bug report it with F10 even if you think the dev team are aware of it

[narrow hemlock]

even if theyre aware theres no harm in reporting stuff. the more reports they get of an issue the easier it is to track down the cause probably

[neon jackal]

Do you know if a boss rush mode has been mentioned or if there is an answer when someone suggested it?

[brisk trail]

I'm sure someone's asked for it or put it in #hades-feedback at some point, but it sounds like something that will wait on v1.0 before it starts being explored.

[pseudo lark]

Has there been any discussion on how buggy Meg's spin is

[minor stone]

Which keepsake is best for farming?

I'm thinking Dionysus or Poseidon

Or maybe it makes more sense to just go for a more powerful god to clear

[paper coral]

Poseidon

[deep pivot]

I like to take Poseidon's so I can eventually get Ocean's Bounty. Chaos' can make his Eclipse boons higher in rarity so that may help too.

[paper coral]

Poseidon might also net you his legendary

[minor stone]

Poseidon it is

Does the shield weapon's attack knockback count towards Sea Storm?

[deep pivot]

No. You need Poseidon's knockbacks

[minor stone]

Okay

Not all knockbacks are created equal lol

All knockbacks are equal, but some more equal than others

Heh

Thanks

Poseidon will be fun to farm with

[chrome nymph]

does anyone know if hades supports gamecube controller?

[patent topaz]

"Does Hades have controller support?
Yes! The game should automatically work with PS4, Xbox, Switch Pro, and other XInput controllers. If you run into issues, try disabling Steam Controller support in Steam."

so hmm i don't think so...

Or is the gamecube controller an XInput?

[narrow hemlock]

assuming you're running on steam, since that's the largest playerbase for the game, any controller you've got configured to work with steam should be picked up

beyond that is a bunch of dependencies like the controller, your own pc, ect and will require additional user tinkering.

the switch variant and the adapter for the original gcn have usbs don't they? I don't own a switch so I'm not familiar with any of it. I would assume the switch gcn controller can be used on pc

[chrome nymph]

i'll try it later on with the gamecube controller, thanks!

[narrow hemlock]

you might need an xinput wrapper or something but I would think someone's already got something up for that controller by this point 🤔 I use a ps3 controller but I have to use scarlet.crush for it to get picked up

But again I'm not familiar with the gcn controller so take what I say with a hefty grain of salt

I just think the general rule of thumb is if you got a controller working for other games, hades is likely to read it

[brisk trail]

Thinking about it, the GameCube controller may not have enough buttons for every input.

You're lacking stick clicks as well as a fourth shoulder button.

[upper meteor]

Who would be some famous gunslingers fit for the titan rail's hidden aspect?

My mind went to Billy the Kid or Wyatt Earp

Old West types

[sour dust]

john wick

[pseudo lark]

For a regular run you really only need move, attack, dash, special, item pickup, maybe summon. I feel like like a Gamecube controller would definitely have enough buttons

[upper meteor]

John Wick isn't really "legendary" sadly

With the previous aspects being ||Guan Yu and Arthur|| I think the trend is set for historic or mythical figures

[sour dust]

i know i was joking but like IMAGINE THOUGH

[upper meteor]

Hey, hey

You have to give the shades -SOME- fighting chance

lmao

[patent topaz]

alexander... hamilton...?

or aaron burr, he's the damn fool that shot him

maybe they're too recent tho

[upper meteor]

Actually you know who's a legend among men who used guns

[paper coral]

Simo?

[upper meteor]

If we're goin back to the revolutionary war

George Washington

Absolute Unit

Big general in the revolutionary war

Best president we ever had

[patent topaz]

yeah those people are the most ancient people i can think of using guns

[upper meteor]

Guns haven't been around for too long, yeah

[paper coral]

I guess Nobunaga perhaps?

[upper meteor]

You -COULD-, however, allow flintlocks and cannons to fit the description

[brisk trail]

Legendary weapon itself is also necessary.

"Legendary".

[paper coral]

He was big on guns

[upper meteor]

Was Guan Yu using a legendary glaive

[brisk trail]

Yes.

[upper meteor]

I thought it was just the man

[brisk trail]

The Frost Fair Blade.

[paper coral]

Yeah

[upper meteor]

Ah okay

What

[patent topaz]

or! Leonardo da Vinci? I don't know if he invented some gun prototypes but it could work?

[upper meteor]

That's Arthur

[brisk trail]

Excalibur?

[upper meteor]

Oh the name of it is

I see

nevermind you're right

[brisk trail]

👍

[paper coral]

What about the gauntlets

[upper meteor]

Oh

Well as far as finding a famous pair of gauntlets

[patent topaz]

those are also GUNS

[upper meteor]

All that I could turn up in that regard was Thor's gauntlets

[paper coral]

That might work

[upper meteor]

His gauntlets were a pretty big deal though

Like they were held in the same regard by him as his belt of strength and mjolnir

[brisk trail]

Thor's gauntlets being named weapons makes them very possible.

[patent topaz]

yeah they are probably that then

[upper meteor]

They are named

Jarngreipr

[paper coral]

What other weapons are left?

[patent topaz]

ooh boy poor voice actors

[upper meteor]

There's...

[brisk trail]

Shield, Bow, Fists, Rail.

[upper meteor]

Yes

For the Shield I think it appropriate that we give it to El Cid

[paper coral]

El Cid?

[patent topaz]

at first i thought the 4th rail aspect would be egyptian because exagryph has an horus-like design
then i remembered gryphons are a thing

[upper meteor]

El Cid is the national hero of spain

He was the basis for the idea of chivalry in western europe

[brisk trail]

Did he use a legendary shield?

[patent topaz]

ooh i remember him he was such a good guy

[upper meteor]

One of the most common relics you could find of him is his shield

[paper coral]

The shield was legendary for him using it

[upper meteor]

Though it sometimes is and sometimes isn't depicted in art

[patent topaz]

or someone roman? The shield were very used among them

[upper meteor]

Roman is too recently

Like, for Hades

[paper coral]

The last aspects seem to be from mortal wielders too

[brisk trail]

Not really.

[upper meteor]

Remember the greeks came after the romans

[brisk trail]

Incorrect, Romans were after Greeks.

[paper coral]

Guan Yu, Arthur

[upper meteor]

Are you sure

You are right

Ancient Greece was 800 BC

[brisk trail]

They were concurrent.

Ish.

[upper meteor]

I'd say that Greece lasted longer though

[patent topaz]

The 4th aspects are from the future

[upper meteor]

I mean

[brisk trail]

But Greece's mythology extends further into the past than Rome's.

[upper meteor]

At any rate it wouldn't work

Even if they're concurrent it has to be a future human who wields it

[brisk trail]

Yeah, but the game takes place some time after the Trojan War.

[upper meteor]

Yeah and the Trojan War was 1260-1180 BC

is that the great war everyone keeps referencing?

[paper coral]

Probably

[brisk trail]

Not if it's currently happening, I don't think.

Achilles has been implied to have been in Hades for a long time and he died towards the end of the war, I think.

[paper coral]

I think so too

[upper meteor]

So it may not be that

[brisk trail]

Persian invasion of Greece?

[upper meteor]

Well... at any rate it's hard to name famous guns outside of stuff like

The Thompson

That was an infamous gun

But no single gun is really -that- famous or infamous

Same with shields I'd wager

[brisk trail]

Definitely, not on the level of Excalibur.

👏 ASPECT 👏 OF 👏 STEVE 👏 ROGERS 👏

[upper meteor]

please

[sour dust]

ASPECT OF STEVE ROGERS LETS GO

[brisk trail]

Lemme dream for a few more weeks.

[upper meteor]

Well you know

[sour dust]

im so excited for june update

[upper meteor]

Technically a house crest could be called a shield right

[sour dust]

pls

[patent topaz]

next update there will be another 4th aspect let's hold on lmao

[upper meteor]

So technically you could just have a house crest be what's famous about the shield

And El Cid did in fact have a coat of arms

[patent topaz]

is there an angel that used a bow?

[sour dust]

cupid ashifibdsihgsb

[upper meteor]

Why an angel?

[sour dust]

yeah why an angel

[paper coral]

There were a lot of people who used bows

[upper meteor]

Yeah

[paper coral]

There is Arash

[patent topaz]

a-
a coat of arms?
human arms?

[upper meteor]

Nono

[paper coral]

A guy from persian mythology

[upper meteor]

A coat of arms was a show of your family

See here is a coat of arms

[paper coral]

Shot a bow and died

[upper meteor]

ignore the crown

[patent topaz]

idk just wondering, they do count as myths?

[upper meteor]

Well El Cid certainly counts as a legendary figure

He was the model for medieval european knighthood and chivalry

and he fought a lot of wars to reunify spain

[patent topaz]

and drank respect women juice

[quartz rapids]

I there a teaser for the next content drop?

[paper coral]

Is there?

[upper meteor]

Don't think so

[acoustic sand]

who is Steve Rogers ?

[upper meteor]

Captain America

[paper coral]

I mean the regular shield is that

[patent topaz]

the development roadmap on the game menu is all we have

[brisk trail]

There was a video that teased Charon's final in-game appearance.

[upper meteor]

what does he look like

[brisk trail]

We just got a silhouette, like we did for Demeter and Nyx.

He's probably carrying and oar and he might have super long ears.

[upper meteor]

Could you post a link

[brisk trail]

I don't have the link, sorry.

[patent topaz]

that was an hat not the ears i think lol

[brisk trail]

It might be a hat.

[upper meteor]

Well... I dunno

If you can find a link I'd appreciate it

[patent topaz]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YihXPvZHcTQ

1:11

[upper meteor]

Ah, there we go

Yeah

It looks like he has a wide brim hat and a pipe

and the oar, obviously

[acoustic sand]

MOAR

[patent topaz]

it reminds me of the hat hermes was usually represented with i don't remember it's name
an hat for travelers

[paper coral]

New weapon aspects boons and updating the shop

[acoustic sand]

it makes me sad thinking i has missed so much history of updates of this game

[patent topaz]

and fourth aspect probably

[brisk trail]

Part of me wishes I could experience the game fresh from 1.0.

[patent topaz]

don't worry me too i think three more and then v.10?

[brisk trail]

There's no count on updates remaining.

[upper meteor]

I hope the fourth aspect of the bow is either Robin Hood or Genghis Khan

[patent topaz]

i can't wait lol

[sour dust]

time to delete this game from your mememory to experience it from v1.0

[patent topaz]

maybe not robin hood cause we already have arthur so probably gengis khan

[upper meteor]

Half the world can claim heritage to him

That’s gotta be worth something

[patent topaz]

yep lol, 1 on 200

i read, because he was a ladies man

[upper meteor]

He was a man’s man and a ladies man

[patent topaz]

gen-jeez khan

[upper meteor]

Nah it’s like gang-giss

[patent topaz]

gen-jiz- NOPE
proxy don't me pls

[dawn tangle]

Wonder what aspect adamant rail will get

There arent many myths with a gun

Maybe a soldier or mafia boss like alcapone?

[upper meteor]

There are more myths with wielders than their weapons

Al Capone, Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, John Paul Jones, Blackbeard

[dawn tangle]

Maybe billy the kid? They might be able to make the fanciest look with him as inspiration than the rest

[upper meteor]

He did use a rifle for sure, which is some help

He was a pretty bad person though

Same with Al Capone or Blackbeard

[dawn tangle]

Yeah.... But we are in hell so... Might work

Also, on another unrelated note

Thanatos' scythe looks similar to our weapons, wouldn't be surprised if it became a dlc weapon or something

Or at least if thanatos became playable some way

[patent topaz]

did someone in history actually use a scythe in combat or it was just iconography for death?

[dawn tangle]

Iconography, there are war scythes, but they don't look like that

[paper coral]

They're more glaive like if I recall

[dawn tangle]

.... The more i think about it, the more i realize thanatos campaing might be a good dlc

They can use him to flesh out hypnos, add scythe weapon and even the missing gods

Without diluting the boonpool too much

[paper coral]

Eh, I can do without a scythe weapon

They're pretty overrated

[dawn tangle]

And he is also going through hell, even if its running after zagreus

They are in the sense of them not being an actual weapon

But they are what thanatos uses, and honestly, people love them

[patent topaz]

i don't know sgg never made dlcs but it would be cool
i don't want the content to finish after v.10 ahah

[acoustic sand]

me neitheeeeeer

i mean every game needs to sell, that's all right with me, if there are new ideas but they need to sell them in DLCs thats perfectly ok with me

as long as the DLCs are not bad or forced like many Paradox DLCs for example

i think there needs to be a global coherence, that's always what's lacking when people are fed up with DLCs

good morning btw 😂

[patent topaz]

good morning!
yeah idk if it's their style
one new way to do a game at a time, they already need to keep up with their first early access game, let's give them some room to breathe lol

[upper meteor]

I mean

If there is a Thanatos campaign hypothetically speaking

It would be best served as being the resolution of Demeter’s winter and the war going on at the time

If those things aren’t resolved by Zagreus himself that is

[upper meteor]

Zagreus dying there is a placeholder

[dawn tangle]

they aren't into dlcs

and i don't really like DLC's that much

but asking them for a new character might be off the game enough to merit a dlc content instead of asking them to add Thanatos as playable character with all that implies

[night arch]

hey 🙂 i just bought the game today and ive been playing for hours, i cant stop its so addicting

[lavish locust]

Ayyye!! Welcome to the club

I played 14 hours straight once lol its so good

[sour dust]

hades is lovely

you can't stop and wont stop

and it's still somehow in early access!

[night arch]

yeah! my husband bought it 3 days ago and he's beaten it like 6 or 7 times. i haven't beaten the hydra yet

i only bought the game cause he was like "its so good you wont regret it" and im like "okaaay i'll do a run or two" and.. cant stop wont stop

[lavish locust]

It drags you in

[night arch]

i should have known. i love roguelikes, and i love bastion

[sour dust]

Sgg doesn't dissapoint!

[lavish locust]

It lured me in with the hack and slash and then trapped me with the lore

[sour dust]

and i didn't like rouguelites-- hades changed my mind completely

i thought i'd hate the continuous dying but turns out i dont at all

especially with the in between lore you get

[night arch]

i've put hundreds of hours into binding of isaac and cadence of hyrule

i just like, looked over my husbands shoulder in asphodel and was like "idk his looks a bit too bullet hell" but after playing for a few hours, its not nearly as bullet hell as binding of isaac can be

and the lore between deaths, each death being canon, that's super interesting!

but tbh they won me over before i even started playing. there was a "mouse lock" setting in the options screen. i've never seen that before and it's what i've always wanted lol

ok so you know how i said i havent beaten the hydra yet? GOTTEM 😄

[sour dust]

NICe

good job !!

tbh most of the bosses are something you'll get used to

[night arch]

yeah, meg was really difficult the first time and i still have trouble with her but it's easier now

[sour dust]

yeah!! you'll run into furthur road blocks like that but after a couple of runs you usually pick it up !!

good luck!!

[night arch]

i just encountered some really mean butterflies

it didn't go well

[sour dust]

oh butterflies suck

those balls of >:((

just dodge around the room to lead the butterflies away from you

[floral shore]

It's something the game does exceedingly well. You get just enough of a boost between the runs to keep you getting further and further bit by bit.

[sour dust]

yeah! the house of hades really helps a lot too, bcs runs progress plot threads and that pushes you to play more

[night arch]

yeah

i feel like i get something new every run, and i need to do another to try it out

it's been like 5 hours

[sour dust]

the drop off for content is like at...

70 hours i'd say?

so like.....

yeah

and it also depends on the speed of which you unlock things too

[brave thicket]

is this june or may?

[sour dust]

may

you can go back to sleep

[brave thicket]

yes, thanks

[upper meteor]

Also when you get to the champion butterfly room

kill the ball first

[floral shore]

I've only bought the game like a week ago and still have a ton to see and do. I got through three times now, now it's about getting out with each of the weapons.

[sour dust]

pink ball badddd

[brave thicket]

try to kill bol and enemies at the same time

[sour dust]

if you have zeus it's ez

[brave thicket]

pff demeter call

[sour dust]

oh that's valid too

[night arch]

kill the ball first
@upper meteor
yeah, tried that.. i survived, but barely lol

i just gotta git gud

i'm trying to decide who to give my next nectar to. i've given to charon, cerberus, athena, and chaos

[upper meteor]

The main thing is

The exalted never stop spawning until the ball is dead

Or at least it takes a very long time for them to stop spawning

[floral shore]

Skelly is a decent one to have as well.

[night arch]

yeah. i aimed for the ball first, i just was not doing enough damage to kill it quickly, and i was surrounded

[upper meteor]

It is something of a DPS check

There are a few of those in Hades

[night arch]

yeah. i was doing really decent damage that run, at least better than i have before. but not good enough lol

i think i will give the nectar to skelly

[upper meteor]

Skelly's trinket is good

Starting out it is

[high island]

You should do like me and gift all your nectar and everything you have to Lady Aphrodite. I'm sure that's the right way to play the game.

[sour dust]

where's love for bouldy 😔

[uneven lintel]

What do I do to get suggestions unlocked for me?

I have a cool idea

[distant flume]

All my nectar goes to dusa and meg

[high island]

#hades-suggestions is locked for everyone. But read the pinned message in #hades-feedback on how to post there.

[upper meteor]

simping for aphrodite

Artemis is best girl

[sour dust]

everyone out here simping for aphro and artemis WHAT ABOUT ATHENA

[high island]

Who?

[upper meteor]

What -about- Athena

[night arch]

cerberus is best boy and my mind will not be changed

[upper meteor]

He's not best boy

He's goodest boy

[night arch]

that is also acceptable

[uneven lintel]

@high island is there a simplified version plz?

[high island]

Simplified? Well, the pinned messages explain the rules and guidelines for posting in the channel, and also how to be able to post in there. So it's just best to read that first.

I still don't understand why the game is named Hades even though it's all about Lady Aphrodite. It's very confusing.

[uneven lintel]

Why is Suggestion locked? They don't talk about it there

It talks about feedback not suggestions

[high island]

Oh, #hades-suggestions is only open temporarily whenever they want to gather suggestions from the community on a specific area in the game that they're focusing on.

#hades-feedback is the channel for general feedback and suggestions.

[brave thicket]

do you mean lady aphrodite, goddess of prostitution? i dont see any connections?

[night arch]

soo ive been using spear exclusively for the last few hours. i dont like charge weapons so i havent touched the bow. then its like "heyy we'll give you extra darkness if you do" so im like okay fineee. then in the first like 3 rooms i get an epic aphrodite boon (+93% attack dmg, inflicts weak) and a chaos boon (nerfs my cast for a few rooms then +30% attack dmg) so i'm doing like 130 damage just a few rooms in and now i feel like ive been sleeping on this bow haha

[upper meteor]

The usefulness of all the weapons isn't immediately apparent

It takes an expansion of your knowledge on what boons are capable of to really understand what works best

[clever halo]

Wait until you get Hera Aspect. :p

[night arch]

ive seen a couple mentions of aspects on the subreddit but im not really sure what it means yet? im not avoiding spoilers but i figure i'll find out soon enough

[clever halo]

The game won't quite force you to learn what they are, but let's just say you will find out unless you avoid doing something obvious.

[upper meteor]

Like for example on the bow

The special is really hard to use, but it's amazing for dealing with champions if you build around it

[sour dust]

tbh bow takes a while to get used to

[night arch]

i just took curse of pain for the bow so i'm not complaining about the special lol

last run i had curse of pain level 3 on the spear, with the daedalus bounce effect, and it was great. looks like it's just as good with this burst shot on the bow, hitting a ton of enemies at once

[sour dust]

honestly anything that can apply doom to enemies quickly is super spicy

[upper meteor]

Doom though

Doom isn't a great mechanic

I'd advise against Ares in general if he didn't have the blade rifts

[sour dust]

it works pretty good if you get some duos

He's not horrible

just not as good or safe in comparision to others

[clever halo]

Ehh. Doom is okay with the right weapons. Specifically, Chaos Aspect thrown shields and Bow flourishes - stuff that's hitting multiple offscreen enemies periodically.

It's just not great on stuff you're hitting 5 times in 2 seconds.

[upper meteor]

Which is the case for most weapons

But blade rifts...

hoo boy

With mirror upgrades and the aspect of Hera

The final boss can't even handle that

It just gets dragged along with the rifts if you aim it right

[clever halo]

Or, more importantly, a certain person's shield can't handle Blade Rifts.

[upper meteor]

That too

The shield's piercing shot daedelus upgrade also goes through that guy's shield

That's a tip as well

Daedelus upgrades are what you should be building around

Depending on what daedelus upgrades you get should dictate your objective for boons

[clever halo]

Honestly I rarely take deity keepsakes for Tartarus any more. I seem to start with a hammer fairly often if I don't.

I start with the coin pouch, which gives me a start on Golden Touch.

[upper meteor]

More often I've been kind of miserly with my gold

Just so I can buy the shop item in Styx

[clever halo]

GT usually gets me 200-350 gold per run.

[sour dust]

is gt worth it more than deep pockets

[clever halo]

Consistently for me, yes. But it means not buying deity boons in shops until last area.

I only buy life/darkness and maybe a Light of Ixion or two.

And usually with life I hold out waiting for a life or darkness trove.

When I start stepping up into higher levels, I'll probably switch back to deep pockets so I can spend more freely early.

[acoustic sand]

extra darkness does make you try new weaps and it's very cool. As for Than as a playable character, idk...I like Than but just up to a certain point, he's a little...too...somber ? He doesn't have Zag's charm.

but i could certainly imagine the game being extended by Zagreus different adventures

i would die for thanatos, which is convenient

[acoustic sand]

D:

I mean do we really need other playable chars ? Sure, its always a nice perspective in principle, but Zag is already full of endless possibilities, he's basically just starting his adventures

[sour dust]

I want more of zag tbh

Than is nice but zag is such a refreshing take

[acoustic sand]

I like the bromance with Than but i wouldn't say i like Than per se. He's always...sort of...unaffectionate to everyone except Zag in his good days

same, MOAR ZAG

[sour dust]

Zag and than romance is incredibly soft though so

I like them together but I still want more zag

[high island]

Golden Touch is really good for Convenience Fee 2. I don't think it really matters much otherwise.

[acoustic sand]

we want more Zag hot action allright

we are frustrated teens like this boyo

[sour dust]

Let's be honest here zag is probably nicer than most teenage angst phases

[acoustic sand]

i mean, nobody wants to stay stuck with Skelly, right

||"stick it in me boyo"||

ok ill stop

[high island]

When is ||Lady Nyx|| romance?

[hexed smelt]

yes you will :)

[acoustic sand]

noooo Nyx is not romanceable

She's Than's MOM

[clever halo]

||Bouldy|| romance when??

Stag, uh...read up on your Greek mythology. That's not an obstacle. :p

[sour dust]

OK but like

[acoustic sand]

I know, but...

[sour dust]

Someone else is interested

And do u rly want to get in their way

[clever halo]

Greeks let nothing get in the way of their lustful whims.

[acoustic sand]

i also love when Zag says "Alas" in a sarcastic way at Hypnos complaints he doesn't catch Meg's eye

we love a jealous Zag

[high island]

||Persephone|| is his mom.

[strong heron]

it's not happening.

[high island]

Oh wait, you wrote Than.

Anyway.

[clever halo]

Tee hee.

[high island]

Make it happen.

[acoustic sand]

in Witcher 3 i wanted Geralt to be like a faithful monk but here with Zag i want to seduce everyone

well, not everyone. In fact, def not

not skelly and not my family

and not Achilles sir even if Zag has a poster of him near his bed

[clever halo]

But def ||Bouldy!||

[acoustic sand]

yea

he's t h i c c

[clever halo]

||Bouldy|| has to top though. Otherwise he'll just fall down. :p

Also, I really am quite terrible.

[hexed smelt]

guys, different topic please

[acoustic sand]

sorry 😭

[sage marten]
