i think that's normal

#

not everything is translated yet

#

i also get some dialogues or skills in english and others on my native language

steep vale
#

Do you guys use all the weapons, going for the boosted darkness, or have a preferred one?

clever halo
#

I rotate. I still need like 100k darkness. :p

steep vale
#

I might just be bad but I hate the shield and sword, the low range on the sword is so annoying

clever halo
#

Shield > you. :p

patent topaz
#

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

clever halo
#

Wait, you mean you still fail runs sometimes, Symbo?

#

That's not the picture I had of you at all! :p

patent topaz
#

Ey yo, i just began and i still can get past Meg ๐Ÿ˜›

obsidian pulsar
#

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.

clever halo
#

My failure rate is down to about 77%.

patent topaz
#

~~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 shadegrief ~~

clever halo
#

You are not beholden to any judgments I make. If I bothered making any. :p

patent topaz
#

makes sense that Zag is not a complete moron during the first escape attempt anyway

#

c:

clever halo
#

Heck, I'm just a knucklehead. Don't mind me.

summer kettle
#

My failure rate is like

#

near 100%

#

ORZ

velvet coral
#

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?

narrow hemlock
#

not really

patent topaz
#

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

flat vapor
#

i don't really care about the win streak so

summer kettle
#

I've gotten crazy good at running Zag into traps

patent topaz
#

i once commited suicide on a trap i hope he's not trypophobic

fringe osprey
#

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

steep vale
#

The sword is annoying to use if you're not tailoring a build, just trying to get the boons you haven't gotten yet....

summer kettle
#

The sword actually really grew on me

#

make us of its obscenely good dash attack

#

and special dash cancel

steep vale
#

Actually that might be the thing that I hate the most, the dash attack.

#

Which aspect do you use?

summer kettle
#

vanilla

#

though my style of play is vastly different

#

what heat are you playing on?

steep vale
#

Really low heat, I think I get impatient with the sword

clever halo
#

(It is bribery.)

ancient frost
#

I use the heat to have more bounties, so it's just keeps augmenting, for me.

clever halo
#

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?"

velvet coral
#

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)

sinful star
#

Special dash cancel?

clever halo
#

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.

pseudo lark
#

@steep vale sword takes a while to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it grows on you very quickly.

clever halo
#

Like fungus. And for much the same reasons.

untold jewel
#

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

solid cosmos
#

difficulty is very player based in this game

untold jewel
#

that's super interesting.

solid cosmos
#

although some weapons like the shield are generally easier or at least safer for most

untold jewel
#

I think the gun has great potential, but you need the right hammer upgrades to make it work right

solid cosmos
#

yeah, fists are much less hammer dependent than the gun

untold jewel
#

I found fists to be ridiculous with some demeter/ares combos on attack and special

#

but demeter in general I think is OP

solid cosmos
#

demeter is very extreme, her boons are either really good or straight up trash

untold jewel
#

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

solid cosmos
#

he definitely does, but do know that he's also deceptively good for most weapons

untold jewel
#

oh? I would imagine Zeus is very weapon-dependant

solid cosmos
#

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

untold jewel
#

ohh yeah I can see that

solid cosmos
#

when you do the math, they're exactly the same, but zeus hits multiple targets so he's arguably better

untold jewel
#

yeah the aoe bonus boon is amazing

#

with the uhhhh paralyz? what was it called

solid cosmos
#

jolted

untold jewel
#

if you get lucky to combo it with the lightning

#

yes

solid cosmos
#

if you get jolted + his legendary your damage just skyrockets

brisk trail
#

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.

velvet coral
#

I want them to bring these characters into the game

#

I want an intro scene with the singing about Zagreus and his plight

gritty hazel
#

best weapon to upgrade 1st?

brisk trail
#

Whatever your favorite is.

low fiber
#

cold fusion has a deceptively tame description for what it outputs

brisk trail
#

Sometimes an enemy attacks 10 times in 3 seconds.

manic bobcat
#

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.

low fiber
#

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

clever halo
#

Heck, I don't even know what the stat it shows does at higher level. I use Stygian Soul.

low fiber
#

but it requires hefty blood investment to do so

clever halo
#

Although Chaos Shield also disables Charged Throw. :p

low fiber
#

all the more reason to use it

velvet coral
#

Gun

#

Anything is solved with gun

low fiber
#

yeah, zag rail is pretty good from the get go

#

the upgrades only really let you be more optimal but it's splitting hairs

brisk trail
#

in my opinion meg is the hardest boss

#

just an opinion

clever halo
#

Alecto > you.

strong furnace
#

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

manic bobcat
#

To each their own.

brisk trail
#

yes the final boss was the easiest

manic bobcat
#

My bane is the power couple miniboss

brisk trail
#

i literally did it first try

#

and meg took me like 12 tries

#

no joke

manic bobcat
#

Well

#

Remember

#

Mirror upgrades change everything

brisk trail
#

๐Ÿ˜”

#

i still fail with mirror upgrades

#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

manic bobcat
#

Do you still have problems with Meg?

brisk trail
#

yea kinda

strong furnace
#

I'm usually good on Asterius. I don't think I've ever had a problem with Meg tbh

brisk trail
#

i hate to admit it

#

its kinda emberassing

#

since i can do the final boss

#

oooooofff

velvet coral
#

Dash attack saves me against Meg. Just never stop moving and know she does her pause before whipping all around

brisk trail
#

i see

strong furnace
#

@brisk trail Are you more ranged or close fighter?

brisk trail
#

close i guess

#

but my mom is making me go to bed

#

should i use ranged

#

or melee

#

against her

strong furnace
#

I usually find ranged and fast to be best against her

velvet coral
#

Ranged for always outside her spin attack. And know she dashed twice before spinning

manic bobcat
#

Duck don't worry man

#

Every one has their banes.

brisk trail
#

no

#

im talking aobut

strong furnace
#

That darn fish

brisk trail
#

ranged or melee against my mom

#

i dont know what is bettert

velvet coral
#

Hahahahah

brisk trail
#

:(((

strong furnace
#

Obv ranged

brisk trail
#

hmmm :/

strong furnace
#

Hah

brisk trail
#

ok

#

ty for the info

#

brb

velvet coral
#

Ranged and pray you have deflect after receiving damage

rough token
#

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)

manic bobcat
#

Lol

#

Yes

#

I find the shades of Achilles and Orpheus a bit funny

narrow hemlock
#

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

manic bobcat
#

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.

narrow hemlock
#

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

brisk trail
#

Any tips on finishing a run with stubborn defiance?

#

Going through my list of prophecies atm

clever halo
#

Don't die more than once a room? :p

brisk trail
#

Should I stock up on max health upgrades?

sinful star
#

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.

manic bobcat
#

So solo Athena

#

Got it

sinful star
#

Hey, Aphrodite isn't bad either.

#

Keeping Weak applied is essentially free HP.

#

Demeter could also work. Chill means fewer attacks coming your way.

strong furnace
#

Love me some Demeter. Enemies slow down so much

terse gorge
#

is it worth to max level aspect of hera for bow ?

brisk trail
#

Maybe last.

flat vapor
#

it can be for bosses who don't die in one hit

#

but generally, you're better off using the blood for other things

terse gorge
#

thx guys

#

@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

rugged glacier
#

@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

timber escarp
#

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

rugged glacier
#

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)

timber escarp
#

Haha well the only problem with that easy start is that then I spent a bunch of runs failing to get back there

rugged glacier
#

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

obsidian pulsar
#

Divine dash is such a crutch and I love it

#

Although Poseidon dash is very nice if Athena is feeling fickle

brisk trail
#

This game still brings me joy every time. Only alpha I've bought ever and no regrets.

obsidian pulsar
#

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.

brisk trail
#

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.

obsidian pulsar
#

I will double-dip in a heartbeat if they make a Switch version

brisk trail
#

I wouldn't be surprised after it goes stable

obsidian pulsar
#

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

brisk trail
#

Indeed. And from a fiscal perspective, more mobility means more exposure and sales (bro, whatchya playing there?)

obsidian pulsar
#

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

brisk trail
#

Waiting for a price drop, which will take awhile. Concerted to our currency, it costs more than the average monthly income of most people

obsidian pulsar
#

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

low flax
#

Does anyone have any idea if a new weapon will come in June?

patent topaz
#

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

low flax
#

Alright thanks for the info

narrow hemlock
#

new weapon aspect is guaranteed next month, there are no further weapons planned through early access

acoustic sand
#

hey guys, do you know who is the god of decorating ?

#

its ||Poseidon cause he makes you farm gems ||

sage marten
#

Nah, clearly hades because he owns all the swag in the first place

acoustic sand
#

who is the god of farming then

sage marten
#

Demeter

acoustic sand
#

nah it's still Poseidon or maybe Dio

#

cause Demeter ain't giving

brave thicket
#

posi is the god of earthquake, so he cant be the farmer man

#

dio iz more liek it

sage marten
#

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

acoustic sand
#

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

sage marten
#

oh i do

acoustic sand
#

especially when nectar equals boon level up

#

and health

#

i wish Posi was as generous as Dionysus

#

having a duo of them is hilarious

quartz rapids
#

I mean it must be Chaos right ? He is the beginning of everything after all

daring hull
#

yeah they give good farming boons... but at what cost xD

#

i love chaos tho they're just so cute

acoustic sand
#

what cost ? not that much...

#

i mean, ok, Poseidon gives not a crazy lot and his boons are pretty meh sometimes

high island
#

Poseidon's damage boons are underrated.

brave thicket
#

yes, finally someone realize that

daring hull
#

i meant at what cost for chaos xD it's usually worth it tho

acoustic sand
#

"usually"

#

i don't use chaos now, i'm fed up of him popping just before my boss fight

brave thicket
#

NEVER become fed up with chaos

acoustic sand
#

i bought his music theme at least

sour dust
#

their music slaps tbh

#

how could u not vist them smh

#

do your builds not require any % increases?

brave thicket
#

some dont tbh

patent topaz
#

guys do the pests' explosion damage the pests themselves? If they step in the bomb's range of course

brave thicket
#

yes

deep pivot
#

Apparently, people don't like cameos/Easter eggs from other games thanthink

cold wind
#

Love this game

clever halo
#

Well, cameos would make sense here. Provided the characters in question are dead. :p

deep pivot
#

They are

clever halo
#

Gasp That's more like Hurtful Peach. :p

#

All SGG characters lived happily ever after. Armcross.

acoustic sand
#

@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.

dawn tangle
#

yep, people don't really dig easter eggs that much i guess

brave thicket
#

you dont dig easter eggs, you find it

rough token
#

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

acoustic sand
#

What ? You can get chaos boon from the shop ?

rough token
#

you can buy an item that guarantees one

acoustic sand
#

it gives no damage then ?

rough token
#

nonono...uhhh

acoustic sand
#

oh ok i got it wrong

sour dust
#

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

rough token
#

definitely. and they're definitely better to get earlier

sour dust
#

oh yeah since the damage taken is lower if you take chaos in tatarus

#

chaos in Tartarus is a good start honestly โœจ

sage marten
#

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

summer kettle
#

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"

sage marten
#

Yeah, pretty much

summer kettle
#

If we want to talk

#

tasteful ways to add references

#

palette swaps

sage marten
#

Palette swaps would be hard to do in Hades due to how the game works

#

Sadly

summer kettle
#

oh for sure

#

im just theroizing

#

perhaps a song inspired from the some harmonies and melodies from transit

sage marten
#

Would be cool if possible, iโ€™ll give you that

summer kettle
#

thats not like a port of the song

#

but rather a small musical reference

sage marten
#

Yeah

summer kettle
#

the best things I could really come up with

#

are like diaologue references

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?

rough token
#

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

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.

tender cipher
#

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

low fiber
#

@stable zephyr just swap reload with codex, you don't need to pull up your codex in combat ever

stable zephyr
#

Ah codex is a good idea. LB right. I'll try that. Thanks

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

granite ether

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

@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?

inland linden
#

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.

obsidian pulsar
#

@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

brisk trail
#

You should contact Steam about that code.

sage marten
#

Weโ€™re not buying another steam card

#

Also yeah, contact steam in case of doubt

vernal void
#

crap yeah ill do that

#

i swear this is stuipd

sage marten
#

yeah it does seem odd

#

did you show anyone the code before inputting it?

high island
#

Codes from some sites can be like that. Not every seller is trustworthy.

knotty marten
#

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

ancient frost
#

yes, try to stick with specific gods

#

you'll get higher chances to have a ||legendary|| boon if not a rare one

knotty marten
#

which are best if I want to build around specials? rifle or multishield throw

ancient frost
#

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

knotty marten
#

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

ancient frost
#

no sorry i ddin't mean that

knotty marten
#

ah I see

high island
#

Maxing out an aspect makes a pretty big difference for everything except Hera Aspect.

brave thicket
#

also posi doesnt make that much difference

ancient frost
#

Maxing out an aspect makes a pretty big difference for everything except Hera Aspect.
@high island the zag ones are pretty reliable

high island
#

It does make a very noticeable difference. +50% cast damage is quite a bit more than +10%.

knotty marten
#

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?

high island
#

I probably wouldn't pick Chaos Aspect until it's a higher level.

knotty marten
#

my zag shield is not upgraded anyway

high island
#

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.

knotty marten
#

hmm, so Ares into Athena/Aphrodite

solid cosmos
#

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

knotty marten
#

why? chaos gives big buffs

solid cosmos
#

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

knotty marten
#

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?

high island
#

Yep.

#

The Zagreus Aspects require only 5 Titan Bloods to max out. The other ones require 15~16.

sage marten
#

It depends for what

#

Zagreus aspect is a better defensive weapon but yes, generally speaking chaos>zag

vapid lichen
#

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

manic bobcat
#

Just get the best Hammer upgrade Delta Chamber and you will never have to worry about reloading

solid cosmos
#

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

acoustic sand
#

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

royal spear

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

floral shore
#

Wait til you get Spread Fire and Artemis dash / attack. That thing murders the world.

rough flax
#

athena cast is kinda nice

manic bobcat
#

Yeah Suzuu have you met our Lord and Savior Spreadfire?

rough flax
#

spread fire with artemis dash yeah that's interesting

sinful star
#

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.

rough flax
#

i didn't really care too much about spread fire when i did try it

sinful star
#

Like, honestly, I prefer Flurry Fire or Delta Chamber or Triple Bomb.

#

Or Explosive Fire.

rough flax
#

special is crazy for adamant rail hehe

sinful star
#

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.

rough flax
#

well numbers don't account for utility

#

radius, speed

#

etcetera

low fiber
#

i'm pretty sure the s in dps is speed

sinful star
#

Those are still measured in numbers. I'm being a bit wider in my use of "numbers" here.

rough flax
#

sorry i should specify when i say speed i mean other kinds of speed

low fiber
#

damage per speed

rough flax
#

projectile speed

#

movement speed

#

attack animation speed

#

tracking speed

#

debuffs and defense may also not count toward dps

#

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

narrow hemlock
#

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

low fiber
#

fishing in the final level + tartarus is practically guaranteed

#

at least it feels that way

acoustic sand
#

i must improve my fishing. I rarely get even 40 gems per run from fish

low fiber
#

never look at the bobber

#

that's my only tip

acoustic sand
#

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

low fiber
#

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

acoustic sand
#

i wish i could train

low fiber
#

so you look above

#

like at the level of zag's head or something

acoustic sand
#

so high up ?

or tip of the rod

by farming the gems are we also funding the game

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

sour dust
#

@valid sluice once at a time yes

hot heron
#

what am i supposed to do in the screen right after the hades fight?

sour dust
#

also @acoustic sand you could like, do a poseidon specific run with his fish legendary

hot heron

like i can select boons and stuff but for what

sour dust
#

oh that's for screenshots!

#

and showing off haha

hot heron
#

ah ok

#

ty

acoustic sand
#

lol

#

you have to pick up the titan blood and get out

#

and say a few "tsch"

sour dust
#

also you could get some chaos fish while you're at it

valid sluice
#

I got my first win yesterday :)

acoustic sand

and remember you need to tell Orpheus about it

CONGRATZ

gg !

now to do that

#

again

valid sluice
#

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

sour dust

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

valid sluice

Also, if I give multiple orange liquid to one god, what happens?

sour dust
#

i'm hovering at 7 heat because of this with all wepeons

#

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;

valid sluice

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

sour dust
#

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

acoustic sand
#

keys are key to hum other stuff

hot heron
#

whats the best catch one could make when fishing?

high island
#

Depends on what resource you want. You can check the fishing page on the wiki.

tall fox
#

I'd say ambrosia giving fish, you can turn it into 1blood, 2.5diamonds, 250gems, 25keys, 5nectars or 500darkness with broker deals

sour dust
#

2.5 diamonds sdgsg

tall fox
#

since broker has deal for 100gems for 1 dia

prime violet
#

1 blood for 15 keys (aka 150 gemstones) is also a good deal

acoustic sand
#

ahem

#

1 blood is technically worth 1000 gems

prime violet
#

technically, yes. But I mean the special deals

acoustic sand
#

special deals are often very bad

sour dust
#

special deals are a scam but sometimes you get desperate

acoustic sand
#

sometimes they're good but scarcely, like gems for nectar

sour dust
#

oh yeah that's the only time that it's good

restive depot
#

That bastard broker, lol

sour dust
#

ripping us off like this ๐Ÿ˜”

prime violet
#

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

acoustic sand
#

oh, right

rugged glacier
#

sometimes they're good but scarcely, like gems for nectar
@acoustic sand or keys for titan blood

acoustic sand
#

i think i never got it :/

old tundra
#

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

merry harbor
#

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.

old tundra
#

hm, do i need to unlock the archives chamber to gift ambrosia?

merry harbor
#

Nope! You do need to fufil whatever quest that NPC has (varies per person), though, after giving as many nectars as you can.

old tundra
#

hm ok, still didnt unlock quests

#

thx for the help

merry harbor
#

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.

old tundra
#

oh i see, how many hearts do i need to have with them to unlock their quests

merry harbor
#

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.

daring hull
#

once you stop being able to give them nectar, so basically just gift them all until you cant xD

dawn tangle
#

Note:most dont give a companion

#

So filling the interactions with them is mostly for lore

daring hull
#

the ones that give companions are ||Than, Meg, Sysiphus, Skelly and Dusa||

brave thicket
#

companions are mostly useless, mostly bc no one remembers to use them or spare them until the last level

dawn tangle
#

most do only damage

#

and can't be used on bosses, or at least i haven't managed to summon them on bosses

high island
#

Companions are great. If you don't use them, that's your fault. squirtnya

sage marten
#

they can only not be used on the final boss, they show up for the rest

brave thicket
#

two kan b used for fboss

sage marten
#

or at least dusa and skelly do

#

yeah, ||bouldy and skelly, right?||

brave thicket
#

yea

dawn tangle
#

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

old plover
#

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?

stoic quail
#

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.

sinful star
#

Hilariously, it's the legendary I've gotten most often.

#

Demeter's was the one that never wanted to show up for me.

clever halo
#

Brilliant Riposte is required for it.

#

Which you may have been skipping.

fading bough
#

Is Demeter really Hyperion's daughter? The game references this but I can't find correlating sources online?

daring hull
#

the game changes some parts of the myths to work around the incest

fading bough
#

I see

#

thanks for replying was troubling me when I read it lol

daring hull
#

no problem buddy shadesmile

old plover
#

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

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

quaint wind

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

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

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!

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

obsidian pulsar

I almost feel like there's too many Hades symbols in the game. They're everywhere

Even the damn Charp has a Hades symbol on its head

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

obsidian pulsar
#

True dat

#

I mean we were talking about making Hades props but... Sure? I guess?

quaint wind
#

im trying to play hades for the first time since early access first started and waiting for all the updates to download is painful

sage marten
#

it do be like that sometimes

quaint wind
#

rip died on the 4th room

#

but i am loving the art and sprite updates, they look really good

sage marten
#

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

narrow hemlock
#

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

quaint wind
#

yeah

summer kettle
#

I swear

#

seeing Charon's actual model

#

is going to be weird

#

I've gotten so used to his robed's placeholder

low fiber
#

it also feels appropriate for who charon is

narrow hemlock
#

looking forward to that spiffy hat

sage marten
#

yeah, new charon is gonna be weird

daring hull
#

sameee

#

charon will be weird but god. show me the hat

narrow hemlock
#

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

radiant haven
#

Made it to second phase of ||Hydra|| on like my uhh 16th attempt?

sage marten
#

he's also getting a sweet sweet pipe

daring hull
#

nice one sloth!!

sage marten
#

if the smoke is anything to go by

daring hull
#

that's why he doesn't talk

#

the pipe would fall out

sage marten
#

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

quaint wind
#

hypnos please stop mocking me is not my fault im bad at this game

narrow hemlock
#

aw he's doing it in good fun though

sage marten
#

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

quaint wind
#

remember this is a pg server

#

also i love hypnos he's such a little snot

sage marten
#

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

quaint wind
#

oh ty for the advice

quaint bramble
#

Babs you should grab the hades role now that youโ€™re playing! Youโ€™ve earned it right?

quaint wind
#

oh good point

narrow hemlock
#

one of us one of us

quaint wind
#

this game is really reminding me how great sgg is

radiant haven
#

Can you remap your controls

summer kettle
#

you should be able to

quaint wind
#

it's also cool to see how they've changed since their early games

radiant haven
#

I'm left handed and find it kinda weird to have the dash key on space

quaint wind
#

go to the menu then press control

narrow hemlock
#

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

quaint wind
#

i haven't explored greek myth for like 15 years but im loving the interpretations of the gods

radiant haven
#

Greek mythos is basically

#

99% caused because of Zeus

sage marten
#

nah, bit less

#

poseidon and other gods also joined in reprehensible divine fun

radiant haven
#

Poseidon: God of the Ocean

#

Makes Horses

sage marten
#

poseidon was often associated with physically strong animals like bulls or horses

#

he was also the god of earthquakes after all

radiant haven
#

The Roman versions are cooler

sage marten
#

the roman versions are a mess though
t. studied latin

narrow hemlock
#

I mean there is a water horse. the hippo. fingerguns

sage marten
#

the romans stretched their gods too thin with their constant syncretism

radiant haven
#

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

narrow hemlock
#

waiting to see which god babs favours ๐Ÿ‘€

quaint bramble
#

Now that will be the tea dusa

radiant haven
#

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

quaint wind
#

made the farthest i every have heck yeah

radiant haven
#

GZ

quaint wind
#

but dio is my favorite bc he is a very handsome man, but i also like the eccentric uncle vibes poesidon gives off

radiant haven
#

Dio

#

Oh no

#

you will summon them.

quaint wind
#

radiant haven
#

JoJo fans.

low fiber
#

jojo rabbit is an excellent movie, what's the problem other than being off topic?

radiant haven
#

Not that Jojo lmao

#

|| I think they know that ||

sage marten
#

YOU THOUGHT IT WAS DIONYSUS

#

BUT IT WAS ME

#

serene obsidian
#

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

radiant haven
#

Yeah I know

quaint bramble
#

You guys are all theorizing when the stories were prob actually just talking about sea horses dusa dusa dusa

#

Or rather ||sea mares||, if this game is to be believed. Galaxy brain plot twists

manic bobcat
#

Did you know that sea horses mate for life?

#

Can you imagine that? Two sea horses meet each other and think that they can.

dawn tangle
#

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

quaint wind
#

talking about the boss is considered spoilers, so please spoiler your part or take it #h1-story-discussion thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š

dawn tangle
#

already done :p

quaint wind
#

if you could spoiler the boss's name out in your original post i would appreciate it

dawn tangle
#

Gonna edit the main line for better clarity, there was a completelly normal misunderstanding in there

quaint wind
#

ohh oops i totally misread! my bad

dawn tangle
#

yeah, don't worry, it lends to confusion,i should've made it clearer

#

better now?

quaint wind
#

yes thank you

dawn tangle
#

gonna edit a bit my answers too, i kinda gave a hint in there too

quaint wind
#

i appreciate it

broken sonnet
#

has there been anything said about the next patch date that's more specific than "june"?

brisk trail
#

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?

merry harbor
#

That's current!

flat vapor
#

the june update is gonna add those, yes

eternal dew
#

Okay! Amazing. Thanks

limpid flare
#

Pretty excited for more story events

#

Definitely the strongest story of any roguelike I've ever played

quaint wind
#

sgg is so good at narratives

acoustic sand
#

so happy to see new players sharing experiences

#

says me, very old player that started like 15 days ago

manic bobcat
#

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

acoustic sand
#

getting out of Hell < decorating your bedroom

#

i wouldn't say decent but i'm not crazily bad

#

i catch fish

manic bobcat
#

Yeah. Hades keeps complaining about Zag being lazy

#

But it takes some effort to make the house worth living in

acoustic sand
#

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

sage marten
#

I mean
Zag was kinda lazy in some of the flashbacks
Itโ€™s not until his escape attempts he pulls himself together

broken sonnet
#

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

acoustic sand
#

how many runs have you done, you think ?

broken sonnet
#

i can tell you exactly in a sec

#

94

acoustic sand
#

wow

broken sonnet
#

covid's given me a lot of free time, so...

acoustic sand
#

same

void vigil
#

woah, ive done 176 and ive been playing since the epic launch shadeohboy

#

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

broken sonnet
#

yeah, some of the "all hammers for a weapon" ones were just really mean to me

void vigil
#

to be fair prophecies are fairly new

obsidian pulsar
#

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

void vigil
#

i need one more hammer for the spear and a couple more for rail, since i never play it

obsidian pulsar
#

Rail is so fun when you get into it

broken sonnet
#

i really can't for some reason

#

rails my least favorite

obsidian pulsar
#

I do think spread shot is ridiculous though

#

That's fair, it's good there's a lot of choice and

#

Variation

finite bolt
#

btw. how many hammers you can find during one run? two?

broken sonnet
#

yeah 2

#

iirc its guaranteed that they'll show up as an option in elysium if you don't have them both by then

finite bolt
#

cool

void vigil
#

throwback to the times of 3 hammers ๐Ÿ˜”

wicked grail
#

i want 3 hammers, sounds sick

#

but obviously it was removed for a reason

#

the food really disturbs me.

#

It looks like a modern fast food menu but the story happens during antiquity?

high island
#

Does it, though?

#

Hard to tell what time it is in the Underworld. squirtnya

ancient frost
#

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!!!

#

Apologies, I deleted the message.

sage marten
#

yeah, how could you not buy furniture for the House

quaint wind
#

nw, thanks for understanding

vale kite
#

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

void vigil
#

but completionism

vale kite
#

it's complete enough for my taste

sage marten
#

think of the underworld's economy

vale kite
#

oh no what about the econony

void vigil
#

making the wretched broker happy it is then dusa

vale kite
#

exactly

void vigil
#

rn im hoarding gemstones bc i dont know what i want to buy

#

i have like 2.5k

sage marten
#

i'm not gonna make that guy happy he scams me on the regular

vale kite
#

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. squirtnya

"oh prince, why do you keep visiting me when you know i am scamming you"

Hypothesis: The Wretched Broker is Ea-Nasir, but with marginally more legitimate deals.

radiant haven
#

Tisiphone is annoying

prime violet
#

@vale kite or you can keep those keys you bought and be patient, broker sometimes sells Titan Blood for 15 Keys

vale kite
#

i'm aware i just did all that for the joke

sage marten
#

that's not how you say best girl icon

vale kite
#

(zag entering sisyphus' chamber) are ya winning sir

sage marten
#

lmao

sinful star
#

Ha!

radiant haven
#

Gun is best weapon

#

esp. with Zeus buffs

#

Wish it had more than 12/18 rounds though

#

Like this.

prime violet
#

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)

radiant haven
#

I seen the +6 ammo

manic bobcat
#

infinite ammo
Delta Chamber is kinda lol though

radiant haven
#

I didn't see the infinite one

manic bobcat
#

It's called Delta Chamber

radiant haven
#

Remember, the only thing you should feel when you shoot something

#

Is the recoil.

ancient frost
#

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)

sage marten
#

yeah, food's a chaos exclusive exit

sage marten
#

i just got heroic double shot
now if only i could get demeter/artemis

I like getting deflect on dash from Athena
