not everything is translated yet
i also get some dialogues or skills in english and others on my native language
Do you guys use all the weapons, going for the boosted darkness, or have a preferred one?
I rotate. I still need like 100k darkness. :p
I might just be bad but I hate the shield and sword, the low range on the sword is so annoying
Shield > you. :p
mmmh i have a love hate relationship with the bow
sometimes i pick the darkness boost weapon, sometimes the one i'm better with so i can go on with the runs or the one i suck the most so i can train
Wait, you mean you still fail runs sometimes, Symbo?
That's not the picture I had of you at all! :p
Ey yo, i just began and i still can get past Meg ๐
I'm on about 15 heat now and starting to struggle a bit with sword and fists, but tend to do fine with the rest.
My failure rate is down to about 77%.
~~that's why i'm restarting the save file, seeing how many runs i wasted on one fight hurts me also don't judge me please it's just a quirk of mine i promise it's the last time
~~
You are not beholden to any judgments I make. If I bothered making any. :p
makes sense that Zag is not a complete moron during the first escape attempt anyway
c:
Heck, I'm just a knucklehead. Don't mind me.
Does anyone else struggle with constantly wanting to see the new dialogue in the House of Hades and not losing on purpose to keep a win streak or just the death count low?
not really
something similar, sometimes i just give up and you know what? Just end me. I put Zag repeatedly over a trap and i feel so sorry now
i don't really care about the win streak so
I've gotten crazy good at running Zag into traps
i once commited suicide on a trap i hope he's not trypophobic
Win streaks don't really mean anything, it's not like it's difficult to win when you tryhard. High heat is where it's at for impressing people
And by people I mean myself
The sword is annoying to use if you're not tailoring a build, just trying to get the boons you haven't gotten yet....
The sword actually really grew on me
make us of its obscenely good dash attack
and special dash cancel
Actually that might be the thing that I hate the most, the dash attack.
Which aspect do you use?
vanilla
though my style of play is vastly different
what heat are you playing on?
Really low heat, I think I get impatient with the sword
(It is bribery.)
I use the heat to have more bounties, so it's just keeps augmenting, for me.
None of the rail's Aspects really sound appealing.
Zag sounds like they just couldn't come up with anything else. "Eh, more ammo. Why not?"
I like the standing in explosion does more damage.... more passive than first shot and more ammo
Although definitely would love to see different stuff. Feel like there is a ton of potential
Like single shot before reload but does mega damage, and if you hit reload at the right time you get an empowered shot kinda thing (like gears of war)
Special dash cancel?
I mean I can read the descriptions. They just don't sound fun. "More ammo, go stand in my explosions, or manually reload for a minor damage boost for a single shot."
Notably, said damage boost is the same base damage as Spread Fire.
And I'm sure it gets higher with more bloods, but meh.
@steep vale sword takes a while to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it grows on you very quickly.
Like fungus. And for much the same reasons.
wait, are the fists considered hard? I was using the gun for the longest time on 3 heat, now on 7 I switched to the fists and I'm finding it much easier LOL
difficulty is very player based in this game
that's super interesting.
although some weapons like the shield are generally easier or at least safer for most
I think the gun has great potential, but you need the right hammer upgrades to make it work right
yeah, fists are much less hammer dependent than the gun
I found fists to be ridiculous with some demeter/ares combos on attack and special
but demeter in general I think is OP
demeter is very extreme, her boons are either really good or straight up trash
ohhh interesting! I can see that
Zeus works better with the faster weapons too ,especially if you speed them up with hermes
from my experience anyway
he definitely does, but do know that he's also deceptively good for most weapons
oh? I would imagine Zeus is very weapon-dependant
for example if you're doing a spear dash attack run, you might think a 75% damage boon is better than zeus' epic 15 damage attack
ohh yeah I can see that
when you do the math, they're exactly the same, but zeus hits multiple targets so he's arguably better
jolted
if you get jolted + his legendary your damage just skyrockets
Zeus is very weapon dependent unless you get Thunder Dash, a high-powered Static Discharge, and Cold Fusion.
Or really anything to reliably set Jolted with Cold Fusion, that boon is scary.
I want them to bring these characters into the game
I want an intro scene with the singing about Zagreus and his plight
best weapon to upgrade 1st?
Whatever your favorite is.
cold fusion has a deceptively tame description for what it outputs
Sometimes an enemy attacks 10 times in 3 seconds.
Can't comment on best, it depends on your playstyle. But, Hera Bow has its power fairly front loaded. You don't really need much other than just unlocking it.
So not best, but for good power with minimal blood investment, you can look to Aspect of Hera.
hera bow indeed can be used at full power from lvl 1
chaos shield is probably the easiest bounty farmer if you're itching to get a bunch of blood
Heck, I don't even know what the stat it shows does at higher level. I use Stygian Soul.
but it requires hefty blood investment to do so
Although Chaos Shield also disables Charged Throw. :p
all the more reason to use it
yeah, zag rail is pretty good from the get go
the upgrades only really let you be more optimal but it's splitting hairs
Alecto > you.
Even counting the final boss?
Not counting the final, for me it'd be theseus because if I, or RNG, messed up my build, he becomes the hardest for me
To each their own.
yes the final boss was the easiest
My bane is the power couple miniboss
Do you still have problems with Meg?
yea kinda
I'm usually good on Asterius. I don't think I've ever had a problem with Meg tbh
i hate to admit it
its kinda emberassing
since i can do the final boss
oooooofff
Dash attack saves me against Meg. Just never stop moving and know she does her pause before whipping all around
i see
@brisk trail Are you more ranged or close fighter?
close i guess
but my mom is making me go to bed
should i use ranged
or melee
against her
I usually find ranged and fast to be best against her
Ranged for always outside her spin attack. And know she dashed twice before spinning
That darn fish
Hahahahah
:(((
Obv ranged
hmmm :/
Hah
Ranged and pray you have deflect after receiving damage
I just discovered that I can't post pictures here (which seems reasonable) but I have to just get it out: Orpheus looks like a fish in the lobby view (when you're not talking to him)
hoping at least achilles gets his model next update since they added pat's in a patch a few days after last update went out
So models are not final?
I was hoping that's the case but wasn't sure.
Zag model can also use some love. He is a blurry boy right now.
the models are placeholders
hypnos and pat also had those shade models up until the last update
i foresee eurydice and orpheus getting done at some point too
who is left still, those two and achilles? and charon, i suspect his will be next update as well to go with revealed design
Any tips on finishing a run with stubborn defiance?
Going through my list of prophecies atm
Don't die more than once a room? :p
Should I stock up on max health upgrades?
Would be useful, I think.
Aside from that, working your dash is there too
And focusing on buffs that let you stay alive.
Say, boons that up your healing percentage.
Or let you take less damage.
Or let you avoid damage more easily.
Hey, Aphrodite isn't bad either.
Keeping Weak applied is essentially free HP.
Demeter could also work. Chill means fewer attacks coming your way.
Love me some Demeter. Enemies slow down so much
is it worth to max level aspect of hera for bow ?
Maybe last.
it can be for bosses who don't die in one hit
but generally, you're better off using the blood for other things
thx guys
Quick gold or Athena boon
Boon
@inland linden sandbox variation Hades would take away from the inherent mechanics of the game (and what i consider SGG's design philosophy of player failure) but if it's really giving you trouble God Mode exists/watching youtube playthroughs which would be similar? There's many builds that you can discover that can give you considerable tankiness or damage sink to buy you time to learn/figure out Hades' moveset. I think that's half the fun of Hades, good luck : D
@timber escarp hey. Regarding the cursed slash, yeah I do admit it looks a bit overpowered at first, and when I got it, that was the first time I ever had a successful escape attempt, but it does have the issue where it lowers your max hp and healing from other items, which makes you more prone to getting one shot (that's basically the trade off for lifesteal). It may seem overpowered now, but it will seem less so when you increase the difficulty.
P.S.: Even though I got to the last boss with cursed slashes, he still managed to take away a few death defiances from me cuz he cold 2-hit me
Happy to start discussion! While the trade off is a fair one, I personally think that lifesteal health restoration is out of place in the early game considering that health is found rarely, like with fountains and upon death (or in a trickle with the 3 health per room mirror upgrade). I totally agree that it would be balanced with runs with more heat, but it was jarring to get it that early
yeah, that's true. if you get it early on in tartarus for example, you clear that place in a breeze
and honestly, at this point I don't mind that so much. after all the runs where I kept increasing the heat, sometimes I think "man, I miss the time when I could clear every room with no worry in the world", lol
I mean... it's a single player game, sometimes a few runs that make the game look easy aren't so bad (at least when you first start playing the game)
Haha well the only problem with that easy start is that then I spent a bunch of runs failing to get back there
yeah, I know. the game is rng when it comes to what boons and upgrades you get.
and sometimes when you dont get the stuff you want, you have to learn to play with something else, which could either result in finding new ways to achieve victory, or more often failure I guess
sometimes I dont get my divine dash at all while having run into athena several times, and used fated persuasion, and I'm like "god dammit ,game"
then again, it does get boring using divine dash all the time
Divine dash is such a crutch and I love it
Although Poseidon dash is very nice if Athena is feeling fickle
This game still brings me joy every time. Only alpha I've bought ever and no regrets.
I remember it feeling pretty rough when it first hit early access. But honestly now it plays better than some finished and patched games I've played.
Ya. In particular, certain graphical elements have really improved like the deity orbs or whatever they're called
Gotta say, it's been so stable though. Even with me running Linux.
I will double-dip in a heartbeat if they make a Switch version
I wouldn't be surprised after it goes stable
Yeah, I'm still kinda hoping for Pyre on Switch at some point
Would be nice to play in the living room or on lunch breaks (once working in an office is a thing again)
But considering people are running Hades fine on some pretty mediocre hardware it shouldn't be difficult
Indeed. And from a fiscal perspective, more mobility means more exposure and sales (bro, whatchya playing there?)
Switch is a very popular console, to the point where I thought about buying a second one during quarantine and couldn't find one.
My other half got animal crossing and that was me done with Switch games for a while
Waiting for a price drop, which will take awhile. Concerted to our currency, it costs more than the average monthly income of most people
Yikes!
Yeah it's about 10% of my post-tax monthly income so I was tempted to grab one, but they're now more than double the price due to scalping
Does anyone have any idea if a new weapon will come in June?
No, probably not
The weapon slots in the courtyard were always there and never changed iirc
And those are the weapons the original six gods used to defeat the titans
so nope
Alright thanks for the info
new weapon aspect is guaranteed next month, there are no further weapons planned through early access
hey guys, do you know who is the god of decorating ?
its ||Poseidon cause he makes you farm gems ||
Nah, clearly hades because he owns all the swag in the first place
who is the god of farming then
Demeter
in all fairness dio is more about what you do with your sick crops rather than growing them
demeter is still the goddess of farming imo she's just
holding an embargo on everything that isn't murderous winter
give sunken treasure a small boost and ill show you who's god of farming
don't you love also getting a nectar from Dionysus mate
oh i do
especially when nectar equals boon level up
and health
i wish Posi was as generous as Dionysus
having a duo of them is hilarious
I mean it must be Chaos right ? He is the beginning of everything after all
yeah they give good farming boons... but at what cost xD
i love chaos tho they're just so cute
what cost ? not that much...
i mean, ok, Poseidon gives not a crazy lot and his boons are pretty meh sometimes
Poseidon's damage boons are underrated.
yes, finally someone realize that
i meant at what cost for chaos xD it's usually worth it tho
"usually"
i don't use chaos now, i'm fed up of him popping just before my boss fight
NEVER become fed up with chaos
i bought his music theme at least
their music slaps tbh
how could u not vist them smh
do your builds not require any % increases?
some dont tbh
guys do the pests' explosion damage the pests themselves? If they step in the bomb's range of course
yes
Apparently, people don't like cameos/Easter eggs from other games 
Love this game
Well, cameos would make sense here. Provided the characters in question are dead. :p
They are
Gasp That's more like Hurtful Peach. :p
All SGG characters lived happily ever after. Armcross.
@sour dust i was a little disappointed by Chaos bc it pops up right in the middle of an interesting streak of rooms, before a tough boss, it kicks me right in the health or attack / special or is not useful and sometimes it's not that great.
yep, people don't really dig easter eggs that much i guess
you dont dig easter eggs, you find it
Chaos is really good to get when you're just starting a new floor (getting that item from the shop), because then you can also get Chaos' item and not take the damage
What ? You can get chaos boon from the shop ?
you can buy an item that guarantees one
it gives no damage then ?
nonono...uhhh
oh ok i got it wrong
eh that's true, sometimes chaos can kill a run and i've had experince with that tbh but when you need them they can make you hit like a truck
definitely. and they're definitely better to get earlier
oh yeah since the damage taken is lower if you take chaos in tatarus
chaos in Tartarus is a good start honestly โจ
I think cameos would be kinda cheap and/or immersion breaking, especially seeing how Hades would likely take place earlier chronologically speaking if we set up some sort of timeline
I'd be cool for at most like
palette swap options or -very- subtle references through easter eggs
but drawing attention to a cameo through soemthing like voiced text... idk it just feels like its a bit too immersion breaking
if the worlds were remotely similar or at least similar in scope/design I'd get it
But most of the suggestions for cameos are not much better than "hey remember this game we also made? xd"
Yeah, pretty much
oh for sure
im just theroizing
perhaps a song inspired from the some harmonies and melodies from transit
Would be cool if possible, iโll give you that
Yeah
HI all - new hear - just want to share the LOVE I have for Hades
I've completed about 60 runs, and two final boss kills
welcome!

My bad.


Dusa's back at it again with the perfect reaction emoji~
is the worst.
god why the dusa emote so PERFECT

@clever halo you're the worst both in-game and here. 
The artists made a perfect creation ๐
Pretty much.
what emotion does
signify? i'm not really sure, but she's how i feel most of the time
That's why I'm a knucklehead.
All the emotions.
Dusa is the Essence of Derp.
Her emotion entails anything and everything ๐ฎ
Or, as we used to say back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, "Duh."
Except ||romantic love||.
The emote is simultaneously arrogant, amazed, sarcastic, embarrassed etc
Truly one of the most elegant
perfectly captures my emotions about dying on 32 heat when I literally only needed a couple more hits . . .
Perfectly ๐
Not sure where to place my feedback - but I absolutely love the art style of this game - Dusa is so evocative of anime - I love that character
@solemn pike Oh, I forgot to greet you to the server! Welcome! We are happy that you enjoy the game as much as we do 
I really relate the attitude of Zag too
Check the pins in #hades-feedback regarding rules and posting permission. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! 
Rule breaker but with a heart and a cause
rebel with a cause
zag is a soft boy
@deep pivot TY for the tips and direction
is my emotion when Inferno-Bombers drop a bomb on me from off-screen that explodes immediately.
"Oh no, there's a boโBOOM!โmb, I gotta dasโugh, nevermind."
Caustic Flamewheel-packed chambers be like "You get a ๐ฅ and you get a ๐ฅ EVERYONE GETS A๐ฅ "
I actually don't have that much of a problem with them.
Inferno-Bombers and Longspears, though . . .
When I said Caustic, I meant the curse where every slayed enemy drops an inferno bomb at you 
Oh that lol.
I gotta ask something. What's up with those little chariots that meow at you?
that's a good question
They want to hug you
๐ฅ
I hear that too
Zag is just too fiery for their short temper so they go ๐ฅ
I wondered if it was a temporary sound
It's their way of saying "Meow! Here I come! Hug me plz" 
They want pets.
i love that they meow
why do they meow when they want to blow you up i hate it
I suppose they also knock coffee mugs off the edge of elisium?
So that's why the Exalted can dash 8+ times in a row: too much caffeine 
This is what they sing when they're alone: https://youtu.be/i92uMLZAIt8

๐ค 
the chariots are actually cats and the exalted are the ones taking care of them
Yes, that is correct. That is canon.
my cats chase you.
found an interesting bit of dialogue
hmm
not like the trojan war started like that or anything
Quick Dionysus or Demeter boon
I agree, but I feel like The slowdown from frost can be equally as helpful, especially since Iโm using the fists of malphon right now lol
Couldnโt desire between the two so I let the fates decide lol
That reminds me, at first I was thinking why Aphrodite's keepsake wasn't a golden apple but then I saw that Eris was mentioned in game so I thought that the apple would be more of Eris' thing.
I want Hercules' shovel as a keepsake
Aphrodite is a goddess of love and its a western thing that love = hearts and pink valentine colors.
eris was the one who threw the apple, so i would say its more associated with her than aphrodite. its referred to as the apple of discord and such
there's the story of the hesperides apples, but i always forget what they're supposed to be
immortality apples maybe
in the secret heavenly garden in the north or somewhere
guarded by these divine sisters
I love that story from the Greek mythology. How Aphrodite basically started a war, just for an apple ๐ 
Eris did
Well, yeah, she's the true culprit but Aphrodite shouldn't have gone along 
If Aphrodite didn't bribe Paris into picking her, or if he picked a different goddess... it would have been a different story altogether. Oh, Eris, why are you so mischievous? ๐
it's not all clear tho, is it. In the Iliad Zeus is pretty biased towards Troy, Hera, Athena and to a lesser extent Poseidon want it destroyed. Apollo defends it for unknown reasons. Zeus is pleased to see the other gods fight. So it's more than Eris making the decisions for the war
hi friends, what would be the best channel to report a bug i encountered?
if you press f10 while in game, it'll take a screenshot and open a bug report window
ah cool, Hydra head got stuck outside the map so figured someone might want to know that's a thing. thanks
yup lol
It's going on a journey.
Has anyone found a good binding for reload on the Hestia Rail, with an xbox controller? I tried right bumper, which was a little better than R3 but mucked up quickly changing rooms or picking up clear items.
Hey, I'm not sure if I should report this as a bug or not because it seems kinda small but I've found an issue where charging the spear (at least with Aspect of Guan Yu) will glitch Zagreus into places he shouldn't be, I'm not sure if it's purely a visual problem or not, but it stops soon after I release the charge and execute the attack
@stable zephyr just swap reload with codex, you don't need to pull up your codex in combat ever
Ah codex is a good idea. LB right. I'll try that. Thanks
Aphrodite gives zero damn about the consenquences
thats her personality
she can sometimes be very kind or very cruel, very chaotic and unpredictable, p much analogy of love Ig
hmm wonder when we're gonna get those more details greg mentioned earlier in the month, next week perhaps? the month is nearly over :/a
we'll have to wait and see, they'll surely release more details once they're ready to announce them ^_^
Oh I'm aware
It's just current events tend to make time feel like it drags on more than usual
feels like this month has been two already :v
Greetings! Just finished the other 3 games by SG. Now for this one..excited lol
Thought it says early access..judging from the past titles..it seems well-worth
Thoug*
Yikes...Though* lol
it's really fun already!
have fun with hades! 
ty!
@stable zephyr I'll try L3, feels like the most optimal bind tbh
hi guys i have 3 diamonds now is there a certain upgrade i should buy first?
Does anyone know the base health of each of the bosses you end up fighting with? By base I mean their starting health without any modifications to it by pact of punishments etc.
@stable zephyr I personally use LT for reload and R3 for summon. Feels natural and works well for me.
Hey guys i got a steam card for my birthday to buy this game but the code didn't work.
could someone get me a steam key because my parents said they wouldent buy another steam card
You should contact Steam about that code.
Codes from some sites can be like that. Not every seller is trustworthy.
what're easy ways to beat the game, if I'm struggling to do so (mostly dying in elysium)? I like shield because I always feel far more survivable with it, and building around rifle special seems good, but are these really weapons I need to upgrade, or is there something I'm missing?
also boons, should I try to focus on some specific gods? going in without some sort of plan tends to result in my damage fizzling out towards the end
yes, try to stick with specific gods
you'll get higher chances to have a ||legendary|| boon if not a rare one
which are best if I want to build around specials? rifle or multishield throw
i don't usually make builds around the special so i can't tell, but i know that zeus special on the shield is strong? also use the keepsakes
also hermes has various srong boons so i'll recommend to pick them when you can
also use the keepsakes hey give you when gifting nectar
you mean if I want to gift zeus, I have to have his keepsake at the time? What's the point of gifting gods beyond 1? I'm currently dumping nectar on sisyphus for companion thingie
no sorry i ddin't mean that
ah I see
Maxing out an aspect makes a pretty big difference for everything except Hera Aspect.
also posi doesnt make that much difference
Maxing out an aspect makes a pretty big difference for everything except Hera Aspect.
@high island the zag ones are pretty reliable
It does make a very noticeable difference. +50% cast damage is quite a bit more than +10%.
so let's say I go with chaos shield (only +1 shield right now though), pick ares to get doom on special early, then just chain bullrush into special. Is that a good strategy? If so, which boons should I try to get next?
or maybe just enhance attack with Artemis/Chaos and spam bullrush?
I probably wouldn't pick Chaos Aspect until it's a higher level.
my zag shield is not upgraded anyway
But you'd do Curse of Pain, Divine Dash, and aim to get Merciful End (the Duo Boon).
Either Divine Strike or Heartbreak Strike on attack.
Ideally Divine Strike really because it will trigger Merciful End, too.
hmm, so Ares into Athena/Aphrodite
so let's say I go with chaos shield (only +1 shield right now though), pick ares to get doom on special early, then just chain bullrush into special. Is that a good strategy? If so, which boons should I try to get next?
as said, you probably want chaos only on higher levels, but that's pretty much the playstyle
why? chaos gives big buffs
and chaos is very versatile on your boon choices, zeus, demeter, dio and ares are all good without any additional support
why? chaos gives big buffs
i meant chaos shield, it's pretty lackluster at +1 shield thrown but amazing at +5
I mean I just started the game, I only have basic weapons and some forms unlocked
zag shield lvl 0 is inferior to chaos shield lvl 0, right?
Yep.
The Zagreus Aspects require only 5 Titan Bloods to max out. The other ones require 15~16.
It depends for what
Zagreus aspect is a better defensive weapon but yes, generally speaking chaos>zag
Is there some trick or issue with reloading the rail? Sometimes I'm able to move while reloading, other times I'm only able to dash, I haven't been able to figure out if there's any reason why this happens
Just get the best Hammer upgrade Delta Chamber and you will never have to worry about reloading
from what i've seen, if you reload mid-dash you'll stand in place after you finish dashing, so the best is to reload while moving between dashes
in my nightmares, i see it...A small jewel, standing atop a House of Hades column...I approach, and then i see it..."cost : 1300 gems"
its not a nightmare
The gun is by far my least favourite weapon
I love every weapon, but I really don't like gun
The Nuke Build is kinda fun, but that's it
Wait til you get Spread Fire and Artemis dash / attack. That thing murders the world.
athena cast is kinda nice
Yeah Suzuu have you met our Lord and Savior Spreadfire?
spread fire with artemis dash yeah that's interesting
Don't count on Spread Fire as the be-all and end-all. There's plenty of good options. Honestly, all the hype is turning me off of Spread Fire just from being tired of the oversaturation.
i didn't really care too much about spread fire when i did try it
Like, honestly, I prefer Flurry Fire or Delta Chamber or Triple Bomb.
Or Explosive Fire.
special is crazy for adamant rail hehe
Like, people can crunch numbers at me all they want. I enjoy my style, so anyone telling me it's suboptimal or just shoving The Best Build at me doesn't help.
i'm pretty sure the s in dps is speed
Those are still measured in numbers. I'm being a bit wider in my use of "numbers" here.
sorry i should specify when i say speed i mean other kinds of speed
damage per speed
projectile speed
movement speed
attack animation speed
tracking speed
debuffs and defense may also not count toward dps
...bbq shrimp
gems are really too hard to get, its insane i need like 2500 minimum to just add a few decos i MAY fancy, do we earn more gems at high heat levels ?
Orpheus, please sing the Complaint of the Gems
room rewards do not scale to heat, so no the rate of resources you earn at higher heat does not increase
which is why fishing and troves remain the best way to earn gems
fishing in the final level + tartarus is practically guaranteed
at least it feels that way
i must improve my fishing. I rarely get even 40 gems per run from fish
yea, ive read that, one must look at the surface...but do you have to click BEFORE the bobber plops in ? cause it takes like 1 half second to disappear in the waters
you're still looking at the bobber from that description
you look for the upward splash
it's a bright white spike that flashes up
i wish i could train
so high up ?
or tip of the rod
I love this game
@acoustic sand the grind for gems is harsh and unforgiving,,,
i just want the house of hades to be pretty!!!
let me live and give me that fancy 3k gem fountain
renovations cost, what can you do
by farming the gems are we also funding the game
what happens when you combine cluster bomb with rocket bomb?
on rail
oh nvm some nonsense happens. lots of regret
what do you mean nonesene ;^)
friggin flaming chariots, lol
its great.
well that combo is great for clearing styx I'll give it that
is this the gun
shotgun with 5 rockets
spreadfire but rockets
ok it does chunk even with dionysus special regret completely gone 
the buff from the Pierced Butterfly goes away when you unequip it, right?
yeah
i hope we hear news about the next update soon!~
Do Chaos, Hermes and Daedelus boons count for "family favorite"?
Hermes does, Chaos and Daedelus do not.
Thanks
Are only certain people allowed to post in -feedback?
check the pins to know how to post there!
Ah thanks. Never occured to me to actually check the pinned messages
bouldy is top tier companion
Seconded
bouldy is bouldy
(I would put that question in #h1-story-discussion because of who you're asking about, or spoiler tag it)
I can read them but they have no voice acting.\
That sounds like a bug, to me
yea
hey I can't find Zeus anymore since many games. Is it normal ? I want to gift him
get luckier
Yeah, that's just bad luck. He'll show up again.
alright thx
finally got it !!
Woohoo!
Can you only apply 1 stack of doom per enemy?
@sour dust way too harsh, it's like the most precious resource by far for me at the moment, i'm lacking gems to the point it's insane and it's my 23rd clear in a row
at least you can farm darkness anytime you want, but gems ? Even poseidon runs don't give that much. I really need to improve my fishing, that's the only way i guess
@valid sluice once at a time yes
what am i supposed to do in the screen right after the hades fight?
also @acoustic sand you could like, do a poseidon specific run with his fish legendary
like i can select boons and stuff but for what
also you could get some chaos fish while you're at it
I got my first win yesterday :)
and remember you need to tell Orpheus about it
CONGRATZ
gg !
Thank you.
for a few couple times
i think i'm getting worse at the game, my last runs each time i nearly failed against final boss or took tons of damage
until you exhaust all dialogue options and or get bored
dont worry
i regularly lose to final boss because i'm always half playing the game lol
Also, if I give multiple orange liquid to one god, what happens?
next run i'll play zagreus sword for old times sakes, i enjoy the swiftness of it
And I still don't know what the bigger version of the orange liquid does lol
that's what you get, friendship ;v;
Oh, but it doesn't impact the game?
it does
for the bigger bottle, some may give you another keepsake
it's good to have friends in hellish places
what can i do with the keys after unlocking all the powers in the mirror
and weapons of course
you can trade it at the broker for other resources
that can be traded for other resourcers
that can be traded for other resources...
you get the drift
keys are key to hum other stuff
whats the best catch one could make when fishing?
Depends on what resource you want. You can check the fishing page on the wiki.
I'd say ambrosia giving fish, you can turn it into 1blood, 2.5diamonds, 250gems, 25keys, 5nectars or 500darkness with broker deals
2.5 diamonds sdgsg
since broker has deal for 100gems for 1 dia
1 blood for 15 keys (aka 150 gemstones) is also a good deal
technically, yes. But I mean the special deals
special deals are often very bad
special deals are a scam but sometimes you get desperate
sometimes they're good but scarcely, like gems for nectar
oh yeah that's the only time that it's good
That bastard broker, lol
ripping us off like this ๐
well yeah, 2 titan bloods for ambrosia does seem like a scam
but a blood for 15 keys, that have no use after unlocking the mirror and weapons, seems like a good deal too
oh, right
sometimes they're good but scarcely, like gems for nectar
@acoustic sand or keys for titan blood
i think i never got it :/
how many hearts do i need to have with an NPC to get their summon
I have like 5 with Dusa and still no summon from her
You need to be able to give that person ambrosia, instead of nectar. After the first one gifted, if they can give you a companion, you'll get it.
hm, do i need to unlock the archives chamber to gift ambrosia?
Nope! You do need to fufil whatever quest that NPC has (varies per person), though, after giving as many nectars as you can.
Yeah, for Dusa in particular, when you've started her quest (also called a favour), you'll get prophecy VAGUELY telling you what to do. Once you've finished that off, you can give her ambrosia and get a companion.
oh i see, how many hearts do i need to have with them to unlock their quests
Uhhhh, I don't know the Exact number. But once you stop being able to give them ambrosia and their heart gauge gets a lock on it.
once you stop being able to give them nectar, so basically just gift them all until you cant xD
Note:most dont give a companion
So filling the interactions with them is mostly for lore
the ones that give companions are ||Than, Meg, Sysiphus, Skelly and Dusa||
companions are mostly useless, mostly bc no one remembers to use them or spare them until the last level
most do only damage
and can't be used on bosses, or at least i haven't managed to summon them on bosses
Companions are great. If you don't use them, that's your fault. 
they can only not be used on the final boss, they show up for the rest
two kan b used for fboss
yea
wonder what they will do with the rest of characters you can befriend but won't give a companion
for example you can't summon gods into the underworld cause... well, they can't go in there to begin with, they need to to come up
although i would actually want a cerberus companion
Does anyone know why I can't find the final boon for athena on the fated list? I've been doing runs with her owl for so long. Do I have to just pick her boon every time I see it?
You mean the legendary? Did you know that certain boons have pre-requisites? i.e. you need to take certain boons in order for them to even have a chance to show up. Athena's legendary is probably the hardest one to get. It seems very rare.
Hilariously, it's the legendary I've gotten most often.
Demeter's was the one that never wanted to show up for me.
Is Demeter really Hyperion's daughter? The game references this but I can't find correlating sources online?
the game changes some parts of the myths to work around the incest
no problem buddy 
Oh no I did not know that I thought it was all just random chance @stoic quail maybe they could put a list or something in the game idk either way I know what to do now.
and thanks @stoic quail
@old plover I don't think there is anything in the game itself but if you check the wiki there are some decent diagrams and flow charts that will help you work out what you need to take to get certain boons.
i often forget to use companions, except in some tricky fights in the last rooms
@wicked grail About your message in #hades-feedback, Kiss of Styx already does that
I hate to be that guy, but...do we have an inkling as to the post-launch roadmap for Hades? I wanna have money ready for any DLC or whatever the devs decide to do, lol
they haven't indicated anything about post-launch yet, besides they plan on bringing it to different platforms, although we don't know which ones yet
historically sgg hasn't done dlc so they probably won't for hades, but they will very likely have merch
excellent, merch will do nicely
hi everyone maybe this is not the right topic to ask my question but how can i get permission for feedback?
check the pins in that channel!
merch.... they will prob do the same kinds of merch for hades post launch as the previous titles have gotten.... sgg please consider trading figures, i would kill to have some mini chthonic gods on my desk ๐
Yes please
I would legit pay for thanatos dlc
would need to make him much more dynamic
but id be down
his moveset is literally just aoe / targeted instant kills LOL
when next update?
I've never noticed a visible timer
there was a timer before that counted down the days before update
Oh that timer.. Don't think I've seen that either? Less sure about that
theres no timer for the june update due to the scope of the update. theres a lot of internal stuff going on to set the game up for post 1.0 platform porting
@rough token its something that displays on the title screen in the bottom right corner. normally it would count down the days to the next update
Ah, thanks
Does anyone have a clear picture of the markings on Zag's sword? I can't make it out clearly.
https://twitter.com/volpinprops/status/1167133090273288193 this was a prop made for their booth at pax, so i assume the markings are accurate to the original design
Excited to try out Hades at @SupergiantGames' PAX booth? Make sure to scope this out while you're there! Our Stygian Blade will be at booth 1515 in all its skulltastic, shiny, glowy glory. We're really proud of this and honored to be part of Supergiant's 10yr anniversary!

from the noclip docu https://gyazo.com/09b51095be572764da93c600270258af
i dont think there has been a full ref posted publicly
no i know, but i threw in the noclip screenshot for the commentary on the markings
You 2 may now embrace each other in harmony 
you are always around when i throw some kind of ref out somewhere lmao
the prevalence of the "hades" symbol throughout the game just about almost everywhere really has been neat
i hadn't really considered it to also be one of the stygian blade symbols too
I almost feel like there's too many Hades symbols in the game. They're everywhere
i mean, it's his domain
Even the damn Charp has a Hades symbol on its head
its his way of reminding you that hes watching ๐๏ธ ๐๏ธ
Has he been branding the fish?
O_o
mannnn
I should make a Zag sword
once quarantine is over
its a really clean design
Thanks everyone!
Zagreus looks like it'd be a difficult cosplay
Or at least one involving a lot of foam and thermoplastic
huh you think so?
The skull on his shoulder
All the skulls on his shoulders and belt? Yeah
The skulls are hardish but other than that, its not too bad
True
working out is a part of the gig most of the time
But plenty of cosplay doesn't have half your chest bare
I really want to make his glove and weapons alot
Obviously some do
They look really clean
Me and my Mrs still plan to do Hedwyn and Stowaway cosplay at some point
ohh nice, you should totally show us if/when they're complete!
Oh I will. Guess there's plenty of time to work on one before the next time we'll actually be able to go to a con
yeahhhh
this lockdown I've been able to make 1 prop
but i have no resources to make another
def guna do zag's weapons once stuff reopens
No online stores still selling materials?
I've got a good place near me for mats that I'd rather wait for; not like theres any conventions going on now anyways LOL
True dat
we're a little off topic right now, so would you mind switching to #off-topic-discussion ?
I mean we were talking about making Hades props but... Sure? I guess?
im trying to play hades for the first time since early access first started and waiting for all the updates to download is painful
it do be like that sometimes
rip died on the 4th room
but i am loving the art and sprite updates, they look really good
can't say much on that regard since i started playing like a month ago but from what i've seen the portraits did go through some serious cleaning up
most of them used the generic robe portraits iirc. ares was the only one i can think of offhand that had a non-robed placeholder
yeah
I swear
seeing Charon's actual model
is going to be weird
I've gotten so used to his robed's placeholder
it also feels appropriate for who charon is
looking forward to that spiffy hat
yeah, new charon is gonna be weird
you think new charon will be weird, go back and look at early ea footage where some of the gods were still using robed portraits, thats weird as hell now
Made it to second phase of ||Hydra|| on like my uhh 16th attempt?
he's also getting a sweet sweet pipe
nice one sloth!!
if the smoke is anything to go by
he's too busy with that sweet underworld kush
don't forget to romance dusa babs she is best girl
this message was brought to you by the bureau of dusa propaganda
hypnos please stop mocking me is not my fault im bad at this game
aw he's doing it in good fun though
yeah, hypnos is just there to relentlessly mock you
zag also gets on it
don't hold it against him he's ||probably|| not doing it in bad faith
if you're struggling a bit i suggest giving cerberus a nectar for the collar
his keepsake gives you extra hp so you can basically just crutch on it until you unlock the mirror of night's hp upgrade
oh ty for the advice
Babs you should grab the hades role now that youโre playing! Youโve earned it right?
oh good point
one of us one of us
this game is really reminding me how great sgg is
Can you remap your controls
you should be able to
it's also cool to see how they've changed since their early games
I'm left handed and find it kinda weird to have the dash key on space
go to the menu then press control
granted I still haven't done pyre yet bc I have the attention span of a pea but honestly the moment I booted up hades I knew it would be my fav. adore bastion and transistor but every thing about the world hades creates is just so up my alley and rekindled my love for myth
i haven't explored greek myth for like 15 years but im loving the interpretations of the gods
poseidon was often associated with physically strong animals like bulls or horses
he was also the god of earthquakes after all
The Roman versions are cooler
the roman versions are a mess though
t. studied latin
I mean there is a water horse. the hippo. fingerguns
the romans stretched their gods too thin with their constant syncretism
Comes with conquering of the known world
At least, the Greco-Roman pantheons are far more interesting than the Semitic religions we got saddled with after
waiting to see which god babs favours ๐
Now that will be the tea 
Hinduism is also pretty cool
Shame Greece and India are both far smaller than they should be.
Unrelated, looking at historic maps and looking at today's maps makes some countries just look weird
made the farthest i every have heck yeah
GZ
but dio is my favorite bc he is a very handsome man, but i also like the eccentric uncle vibes poesidon gives off
?
JoJo fans.
jojo rabbit is an excellent movie, what's the problem other than being off topic?
Not that Jojo lmao
|| I think they know that ||
Horses are all over water mythology, most likely do to riding rivers and other currents like riding wild horses...Kelpies (Celtic water spirits) are also horse related
Yeah I know
You guys are all theorizing when the stories were prob actually just talking about sea horses

Or rather ||sea mares||, if this game is to be believed. Galaxy brain plot twists
Did you know that sea horses mate for life?
Can you imagine that? Two sea horses meet each other and think that they can.
I was listening to the theme of the final boss of Hades
it's really cool
there is something that worries me about it though
talking about the boss is considered spoilers, so please spoiler your part or take it #h1-story-discussion thanks ๐
already done :p
if you could spoiler the boss's name out in your original post i would appreciate it
Gonna edit the main line for better clarity, there was a completelly normal misunderstanding in there
ohh oops i totally misread! my bad
yes thank you
gonna edit a bit my answers too, i kinda gave a hint in there too
i appreciate it
has there been anything said about the next patch date that's more specific than "june"?
Nope.
Hello! Just beat Hades for the first time. Amazing game. It might be good to generalize the final message for first-time kills though? I think this refers to a previous update: "Our next Major Update will add more Boons, Well of Charon Items, Weapon Aspects, and story events, among many other enhancements. Until then..." -- or is that current?
That's current!
the june update is gonna add those, yes
Okay! Amazing. Thanks
Pretty excited for more story events
Definitely the strongest story of any roguelike I've ever played
sgg is so good at narratives
so happy to see new players sharing experiences
says me, very old player that started like 15 days ago
Tbf the learning curve for the game is fairly smooth
So if you started 15 days ago, now you are probably really decent at the game
getting out of Hell < decorating your bedroom
i wouldn't say decent but i'm not crazily bad
i catch fish
Yeah. Hades keeps complaining about Zag being lazy
But it takes some effort to make the house worth living in
well, he's not the one paying for all the renovations
i suspect this is all a clever plan on dad's part to make his son useful
and punish some of the staff
ill forever remember one of his lines
but i won't say it cause spoilers
I mean
Zag was kinda lazy in some of the flashbacks
Itโs not until his escape attempts he pulls himself together
i started a little under a month ago, and i've gotten to the point where i have no prophecies and no house contracts left
learning curve is pretty spot on imo
how many runs have you done, you think ?
wow
covid's given me a lot of free time, so...
same
woah, ive done 176 and ive been playing since the epic launch 
i have a few prophecies left, i want to finish them before the next update... or as many as i can. rng is kinda mean lol
yeah, some of the "all hammers for a weapon" ones were just really mean to me
to be fair prophecies are fairly new
It took me forever to get the charged special hammer for the bow
Like I was around 80+ runs at the time. Obviously not all coronacht but still
i need one more hammer for the spear and a couple more for rail, since i never play it
Rail is so fun when you get into it
I do think spread shot is ridiculous though
That's fair, it's good there's a lot of choice and
Variation
btw. how many hammers you can find during one run? two?
yeah 2
iirc its guaranteed that they'll show up as an option in elysium if you don't have them both by then
cool
throwback to the times of 3 hammers ๐
chew
the food really disturbs me.
It looks like a modern fast food menu but the story happens during antiquity?
well, during ||one of the death narration after beating hades, there is a mention that zag is killed by a char that runned over him|| soooo
It's definitely before the time of certain weapon aspects.

today i will convert all of my gemstones to titan blood with the help of the wretched broker
i currently have 7847 gemstones: first step is to buy chthonic keys for 10 gemstones each -> i end up with 784 keys
second step is to buy nectar with these keys: one nectar costs 5 keys so i manage to buy 156 bottles of nectar
third step is to buy diamonds with all that nectar: one diamond costs 10 nectar, so i can grab 15 diamonds
fourth step is to use these diamonds to buy ambrosia! one ambrosia is 2 diamonds so i can only buy... 7 ambrosia bottles
fifth and final step. i trade the seven ambrosia bottles for titan blood. since it's one for one i get 7 titan blood
resources well spent!!!
how dare you not buy furniture
unstonks, by demeter_ebooks ๐

please keep mentions of the final boss either in spoiler tags or in #h1-story-discussion thanks
I mean it's pretty obvious
Apologies, I deleted the message.
yeah, how could you not buy furniture for the House
nw, thanks for understanding
now yes i could buythe last 2 column types and the hero statue but the divine columns are the best and the hero statue is ugly
and even if i bought all of these i would still have around 3,6k gemstones
i would rather spend 1,5k gems to get a single ounce of titan blood than buy this monstrosity
but completionism
it's complete enough for my taste
think of the underworld's economy
oh no what about the econony
making the wretched broker happy it is then 
exactly
i'm not gonna make that guy happy he scams me on the regular
thats his reason to live
or well. the equivalent of living down there
zag x broker slow burn
Maybe it was the reason he died. 
"oh prince, why do you keep visiting me when you know i am scamming you"
"to see that lovely smile on your face, my good shade"
Hypothesis: The Wretched Broker is Ea-Nasir, but with marginally more legitimate deals.
Tisiphone is annoying
@vale kite or you can keep those keys you bought and be patient, broker sometimes sells Titan Blood for 15 Keys
i'm aware i just did all that for the joke
that's not how you say best girl icon
(zag entering sisyphus' chamber) are ya winning sir
lmao
Ha!
Gun is best weapon
esp. with Zeus buffs
Wish it had more than 12/18 rounds though
Minigun in slow motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeyVrLK03mc
The General Electric M134 "Minigun" is essentially an electrically-powered Gatling gun - the conceptual operation of the gun is identical to Dr. Gatling's original creation. What has changed, however, is the ...
Like this.
You can get a hammer upgrade that gives it infinite ammo or +6 ammo and increased fire rate (for a total of 30 with Zagreus aspect)
I seen the +6 ammo
infinite ammo
Delta Chamber is kinda lol though
I didn't see the infinite one
It's called Delta Chamber
When rerolling a chaos exit I had food as a reward. Never seen this before, and when finishing the room, I had food + a voiceline that I never heard "hey it's food" (or something like that)
yeah, food's a chaos exclusive exit
i just got heroic double shot
now if only i could get demeter/artemis
?
