Ah! Thanks! I went through the steam community forums and couldn't see it.

narrow hemlock
#

searching through greg's posts is simpler since he posts infrequently 😂

merry harbor
#

smart, didn't think about that.

narrow hemlock
#

steam's forum search is pretty awful. I do have that link bookmarked though since it comes up enough, and I think it's interesting information in general ✌️

Hey did anyone's Shield ever work like a ranged weapon at some point? On my first run with the Shield, instead of bull rushing, the charge would just release as a ranged attack(it was incredibly OP). Is this a bug? It's fine now though.

sinful star
#

There's a Hammer mod that does that.

#

Did you pick it at some point?

amber valve
#

Oh wow, I did. Just read the wiki about it lmao.

#

Does that upgrade only last for that one run?

manic bobcat
#

Yes

quaint bramble
#

Yes. Basically anything that doesn’t show up in the bottom right of the screen when you pick it up gets reset at the end of the current run.

amber valve
#

Thanks!

#

How does one develop close friendships with friends?

#

I have gotten Charoun, Chaos, Ares, Athena, and Hermes to the max nectar given. But, I seem to not be able to do anything at this point with them.

dawn tangle
#

there are some, with a heart with a clock embedded on them when viewed on the codex

wary cargo
#

Yep.

#

Chaos is one of them I think.

dawn tangle
#

those aren't available anymore after that point

wary cargo
#

Chauron too.

#

Ah.

dawn tangle
#

there are some that have a lock

#

those require doing certain things

wary cargo
#

So I am stuck with all those ambrosia.

#

How do I find out about those?

dawn tangle
#

experience mostly, i think they ain't listed anywhere

#

aphrodite is one

wary cargo
#

I see.

dawn tangle
#

and i think artemis is another

wary cargo
#

Looks like I will have to do more runs.

dawn tangle
#

artemis unlocks by talking with her i heard

#

aphrodite by romancing

#

and that's as far as i know

wary cargo
#

At least I get to unlock Skelly puzzles.

quaint bramble
#

Some have a lock on their heart which means you have to get a quest for them. The ones who haven’t had their quests implemented into the game yet will have the clock symbol. I don’t think they tell you which is which in-game.

wary cargo
#

Interesting.

#

Thats the fun part!

#

I enjoy this game.

#

Greek mythology.

manic bobcat
#

99% of narrative problems in Hades can be solved by simply playing more of the game.

wary cargo
#

A lot more clearings for sure.

quaint bramble
#

I think some gods require you to get a specific kind boon to proc their important dialogues after enough nectar FYI.

wary cargo
#

Thanks for the info guys!

#

Back to gaming! xD

novel wasp
#

Hm, that guide is msising something tho

#

like they should mention the fact that charon's shop is incapable to roll into anything

#

so its easy to see whether the new room is gonna be shop or what especially when you are blinded by chaos

#

owait they did mention it

Joined the server to say just how much I love this game. My friend recommended this game, I got it on sale and I already have almost 50 hours.
This is definitely the game with the most "alive" characters I've ever seen. So many interactions and they're always so different.

deep pivot
#

What is missing is Demeter's icon ❄️

#

But that's a trifle. It still teaches what is supposed to teach shadesmile

#

Welcome to the server! Glad you are enjoying the game friendly

slate jetty
#

thanks

#

Gameplay is very addicting too, replayability is massive.

patent topaz
#

Zagreus told Nyx he's happy the contractor has the option to buy orpheus' release
But i already released him, he's back
is this a bug or bad rng?

sage marten
#

outdated dialogue, it happens every now and then

#

sometimes both the gods and the denizens of the house will have dialogue for stuff that has already happened just by virtue of there being so many pieces of possible dialogue at once that they just step on eachother

patent topaz
#

oh ok thanks

sage marten
#

np

#

It is pretty odd i’ll give you that

patent topaz
#

Oh wait i think it was normal, i think he was talking about being happy about because now orpheus is back. It was normal sorry

torpid pine
#

#

I've a need

#

For more Hades

#

Also for the Aphro side story, mine bugged out GWseremePeepoLife

sage marten
#

yeah, looks like aphro's hearts bugged for a lot of people with saves prior to nighty night for some weird reason

#

Fret not, fellas

Greg: Hey, there is a bug in the live branch preventing some players from unlocking Aphrodite's affinity gauge. It will be fixed in our next update slated for June. We apologize for the inconvenience.

final grail
#

So I'm curious, is there a good reason to give the golden flasks to the same person multiple times over?

#

I accidentally gave Dionysus a second one because I forgot I had already given one to him even though there's a ton more people I haven't gifted yet. But it doesn't really show any future unlockables listed from giving him multiple flasks, so is it worth pursuing?

rough token
#

Some people, yes

narrow hemlock
#

theres 5 (eventually to be 6) non-olympian chara you can receive a summon from with high enough affection, but beyond that raising affection doesnt serve any purpose besides giving you more narrative (besides the initial gift you get). theres dialogue thats locked behind certain levels of affection, but i cant think of anything offhand that affects gameplay thats locked behind affection, beyond the summons

#

if you like the characters, go ahead and gift them, if thats not your thing, you'll probably inevitably get it done later on anyway once you hoard a bunch of resources

#

there are quests locked behind high affection, i should note........ not sure any of the aspect quests are, i dont think so....

dawn tangle
#

there is one companion that asks of you to upgrade zagreus sword to lvl 5

#

but that's it i think

narrow hemlock
#

i was thinking more in terms of the 4th aspects but iirc the requirements for those are all related to gameplay

#

though thats 2 out of 6 so we'll have to see what sort of reqs the remaining ones have

wind nest
#

@final grail it's like stardew valley or harvest moon. You're unlocking their relationship overtime. That's the primary motivation

dawn tangle
#

i wouldn't be surprised if Ares quest was to be related in some way to any weapon aspect

final grail
#

Oh ok

#

So I should start with getting everyone's gifts first

#

and then move on with the ones I like the most

narrow hemlock
#

probably the best way to do it! a lot of the trinkets are useful in different situations so it certainly doesnt hurt to collect them first

sturdy elbow
#

aspect of demeter good on fists?

sinful star
#

I know at least one person here who loves them!

#

If you've got a good flow going with the fists, I couldn't see them being bad.

#

Essentially you'd wanna focus on your Special's damage more than otherwise.

sturdy elbow
#

im coming back to this game after about 2 months

#

so i just gotta get back into it

sinful star
#

Enjoy your journey!

sturdy elbow
#

thanks :))

#

this is so refreshing from brawlhalla discord

#

nice to not see toxicity every 5 min

granite ether
#

It's usually nice and wholesome here ^_^ I love it

brisk trail
#

Bouldy Best Boi prove me wrong

wind nest
#

@final grail I think that's a reasonable approach first yeah. Give a gift to everyone once.

brisk trail
#

i gave all my gifts to charon straight away cause hes dad D:

nimble ocean
#

now to think of it.. Bouldy do represent a personality of a nice guy.. he is silent, ready to listen, never quarrels over insignificant things.. he is strong, always there to protecc.. and most importantly, he believes in you.. and your belief in yourself

brisk trail
#

the moment i was given the option to gift bouldy

#

was a good day

#

that boi may have atleast 30 of my gifts for the most troll boons ever but

#

he believes in me so what else can i do

#

but give him my everything

long pelican
#

Hey all, I've sunk 23 hours into Hades so far and just jumped to sink some more, and it's reset my save and all my progress. Anyone else had this issue?

brisk trail
#

Any nice tips for 32 heat runs? I'm struggling like hell(no pun intended)

narrow hemlock
#

@long pelican uhhh hm maybe try the If Your Game Crashes and You Lose Progress one and see if its recoverable? https://steamcommunity.com/app/1145360/discussions/1/1753520467359788156/

On behalf of all of us at Supergiant Games, thank you for choosing Hades. If you're experiencing any issues with the game, please check this post as a starting point. If you don't find a solution to your issue, please browse the topics here, or feel free to create a new topic....

long pelican
#

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

narrow hemlock
#

if that doesnt work im not sure if theres another method to revert the reset :/ might try poking around #h1-tech-support perhaps

dawn tangle
#

wait that happens?

#

damn, now i'm worried, epic doesn't even have cloud save yet!!

narrow hemlock
#

i dont think its a terribly common issue, but technology tends to be as fickle as the gods themselves at times

#

could not speak for epic though since i dont use it

#

manually back up your save files periodically i guess just in case

dawn tangle
#

will have to

#

i love the game but just wouldn't have the heart to farm it all up from the beginning again

granite ether
#

from the #hades-faq cloud saving on the epic launcher is something SGG are looking into ^_^

dawn tangle
#

yeah, but until now this is dangerous as hell XD

sturdy elbow
#

beat the game for the first time with fists 😄

#

hammer upgrades are truly amazing

brisk trail
#

Fists are awesome. Get pretty OP when upgraded

sturdy elbow
#

shame they disabled sending images or i'd show what i was running with

#

had a legendary and heroic athena boon tho

#

shes great

final grail
#

So how does Titan blood work?

#

I think it's for upgrading weapons and I have my sword upgraded once I think, but Idk how to use it

#

I upgraded accidentally if I did

brisk trail
#

Titan Blood upgrades your weapons after you enable their aspects

#

The Zagreus Aspects are enabled by default, you must have upgraded one of these

final grail
#

hmm

#

but I have two more, so how would I use them?

brisk trail
#

You enable the aspects with keys

final grail
#

Sorry I know this sounds stupid but where do I go to do that

limpid crown
#

i dont remember using keys to enable them

brisk trail
#

Well, you should try the weapons and start upgrading the one you like more, maybe

final grail
#

No I mean where do I go to actually enable it

brisk trail
#

Oh, i didn't see your last msg, sorry

final grail
#

because when I go to equip the weapon, I don't see an upgrade option anywhere

brisk trail
#

Sorry, i don't remember so well, it's been ages lol Try going to the sword, since you said you upgraded it once. The next upgrade costs a little more, iirc

final grail
#

alright, I'll figure it out I guess

brisk trail
#

The upgrade option is right next to the weapon when you click on it. It says the cost and the effect(what upgrade you get)

final grail
#

The sword just shows a little (+20 purple stuff) next to [E] Equip

brisk trail
#

It's a shame we can't attach imgs. I could show you

granite ether
#

you can upload images to imgur and post the link

final grail
#

I'll just play with the sword for a while and look around a bit

granite ether
#

have you unlocked all the weapons Wiggle?

brisk trail
#

Yeah, i guess that's needed. Didn't remember

#

you can upload images to imgur and post the link
@granite ether Nice. It's my first time using Discord lol Tks

granite ether
#

no worries ^_^

final grail
#

Oh no I haven't

#

But what's the thing on the sword then

rough token
#

Many servers do allow you to directly upload images, for future reference

#

What thing? could you send a screenshot?

final grail
#

It's fine, I've got it

brisk trail
#

It's fine, I've got it
@final grail For upgrading, guess you need to first unlock all weapons. You did that already?

final grail
#

No I'm missing gloves and whatever the last one is

#

So I'm gonna unlock those first before asking any more questions

brisk trail
#

No worries, ask anytime

cosmic geyser
#

1 titan blood for 250 gemstones beginners trap or good offer? brand new to the game.

rough token
#

not a great offer. might be technically worth it, but blood is a lot harder to get

#

or wait

#

which way is the trade going?

#

trading blood for gems, or gems for blood?

cosmic geyser
#

1 blood for the 250 gemstones

#

like blood into stones

rough token
#

then yeah, don't think that's a good trade

cosmic geyser
#

i was thinking that honestly seemed unlikely to be as good as it looked. like they dripfeed you gemstones earlygame so it seems super good but i just assumed it would be allot harder to get bloods later so made more sense to see if it was bunk or not

brisk trail
#

It's a terrible trade. The other way around would be reasonable

dusty ledge
#

Hi all!

#

quick question

#

Does damage to armor affects bosses?

rough token
#

only if the boss has armor

brisk trail
#

Afaik, no. Just yellow bar mobs

dusty ledge
#

ok, that's what I thought

#

(any bosses have armor??)

rough token
#

|| yes, but not all ||

dusty ledge
#

which one has?

rough token
#

|| some parts of the second boss, some parts of the fourth boss ||

granite ether
#

the only boss that has armour ||is the heads that spawn off the hydra once you hit the hp gates||

dusty ledge
#

ah ok 🙂 those are easy 😄

brisk trail
#

How do i use these spoiler tags? Haha

dusty ledge
#

no idea how to put spoiler messages 😮

rough token
#

||

#

on either side

#

|| like this ||

dusty ledge
#

||no idea who is the fourth boss||

#

||hades?||

rough token
#

do you want it spoiled?

brisk trail
#

||oh i see||

dusty ledge
#

I've finished it a few times 🙂

cobalt kettle
#

if you're on pc, you can also highlight the stuff you want to edit

rough token
#

then || yes ||

cobalt kettle
#

and a little thing pops up

dusty ledge
#

interesting... I don't recall

rough token
#

was referring to || the dudes he summons ||

dusty ledge
#

I've been reading a lot, and I see lots of people doing well with the shield. Funny enough, I can finish it with all weapons, but not with the shield 😦

rough token
#

making use of the charged attack with the shield is super useful

brisk trail
#

Shield was my first succesful run. The blocking is pretty good to start

dusty ledge
#

maybe that's why. Does it block everything?

#

I rarely use it

rough token
#

if you angle it right, yeah

#

it's directional

dusty ledge
#

I love the chiron aspect with chill. It's so easy

brisk trail
#

Chiron Aspect gets really OP

#

It's awesome

dusty ledge
#

just got flurry shot as well, so it's so easy to just shoot once, special, special special, dead

brisk trail
#

This is the one that adds extra arrows? I forget the names some times

dusty ledge
#

no charge attack

#

then extra arrows, chill explode at 10 stackis

brisk trail
#

Pretty nice indeed

dusty ledge
#

and I just got a chaos for 40% more special dmg 😮

brisk trail
#

Chaos boons can be really awesome when RNG cooperates

rough token
#

yeah

#

I've gotten a run with over +500% special damage

brisk trail
#

I love it when i get like Zeus boons, that don't have bonus damage and then i get a Chaos for extra damage. Becomes a beast

rough token
#

definitely

dusty ledge
#

I would love a way to see my total stats...

#

Like crit %, etc...

#

Another quick question, Pressure points (critical chance 5%), would it apply to every row of my bow's special?

limpid flare
#

Lol, I was charging the spin attack for the spear and the doom effect killed the hydra. Then afterwards I was still in the spin attack charging pose but I could move around freely. It was pretty funny

rough token
#

yeah, I think they know about that bug

brisk trail
#

A looong time ago there was a bug with Flurry Slash that had you attacking like 20x per second that would run after a Hydra kill.

#

Slowly glide across the stage with a buzzsaw in front of you.

cosmic geyser
#

is it always worth switching to the weapon with the bonus darkness earlygame?

brisk trail
#

Yes.

rough token
#

🤨

terse geyser
#

exactly

brisk trail
#

Accelerates early-game Darkness grind and makes you better learn every weapon and what works with them or not.

#

So you don't get stuck at 20 Heat on the Shield and 2 Heat on everything else because you crutched Blocking for 20 hours.

cosmic geyser
#

well the shield has gotten me the furthest by far 😂

high island
#

You don't need to be switching constantly to learn every weapon, and you don't, in fact, need to learn every weapon. Just focusing on the ones you like most is perfectly fine, too.

manic bobcat
#

Rotating Darkness is fine. Usually you will have a couple of weapons that you really like using anyway, so Dark Thirst is a neat bonus. But you don't have to rotate everything just for the sake of doing it. You will have enough resources.

empty turtle
#

gloves, sword, and arrow are currently what has gotten me the farthest with 16,14,and 12 heat. spear, shield, and gun are like at 4-6 heat at the moment cause i only really use them when im bored and want to try something new just cause i personally dont like em that much except for the guan yu spear. that spear is fun

#

i would personally enjoy that the next aspect will be for gloves or arrow just because i use them the most but i wouldnt be mad if it was shield or gun just cause there is a chance the 4th aspects of those weapons might make me like me more

novel wasp
#

i go heat for all weapon together

#

and they are all currently 21

#

leave no one behind

zinc locust
#

OMG GUYS I DID IT!

#

First Hades clear

floral shore
#

Congratz man.

tender crown
#

Good job

#

I just can't beat the final boss myself

zinc locust
#

It was the fists... The fists with the right boons and Talos' aspect are just great

floral shore
#

Was the same for me, first clear with the Talos fists. Although admittedly fairly hard carried by the Demeter cast.

tender crown
#

Don't really like the fists, they're too close range for me. The Rail seems to be the one with the most results for me

#

I'm using zagreus aspect on them though so might check out the other ones

zinc locust
#

See that's the thing, I had the range upgrade for the fists, so it was no problem

#

And the Talos grip certainly helps

heavy parrot
#

my first and only clear used the raik with the short-range hammer upgrade lol

zinc locust
#

But yeah I also... Kinda got carried by Demeter. And Athena's deflecting attacks.

floral shore
#

Fists with Ares attack + Athena dash + duo just absloutely flat out murders. Don't know if it'd be 32 heat viable, but on mid-tier heat at least it just slaughters.

brisk trail
#

It's very 32-viable.

#

Every Aspect in the game is.

tender crown
#

The poseidon + dionysus duo might just be my favorite

#

Do you guys know a good build for the spear? Never manage to get as far with it

brisk trail
#

Aspect of Hades, Serrated Edge, crit attack. Look for Dash-Strike damage-ups.

#

You'll rarely need to use the spin buff against standard enemies, but it smokes minibosses and bosses.

floral shore
#

In the beginning I liked Achilles aspect with a cast build.

tender crown
#

I tested the damage and Dash-Strike didn't seem to affect the spin damage, maybe I just did it wrong

brisk trail
#

It's the other way around.

#

Spin on enemies with Hades and you deal additional Attack (but not spin) and Special damage.

#

So your poke and Dash-Strike and Skewer get the bonus.

tender crown
#

Oh ok that makes sense

#

Thanks

brisk trail
#

Good luck.

empty turtle
#

im a big fan of the fist especially the demeter fist, i like the 5x uppercut.

#

i usually go hard on it with solo demeter attack boon and then try to get decay or exploding chill to finish things off fast, getting the legendary boon is also wonderful. zeus attack and demeter special is nice especially cause it sets ya up for there duo boon which is nice

brisk trail
#

Fun fact, that's additional hits.

#

Standing uppercut deals 7 hits, dashing is 6.

#

You should try Zeus Attack into Artemis or Aphrodite Special.

tender crown
#

The only legendary boon I ever got was poseidon's and it usually was more trouble than it was worth

#

What's the best attack boon for fists? Zeus'?

empty turtle
#

zeus is good cause you hitting fast, im a big fan of demeter and athena just cause i am bias when it comes to chill and athena is nice because you hit so fast you can deflect anything

tender crown
#

I almost never even see demeter

empty turtle
#

makes hades a weenie cause you deflect all of his attacks into him and you dash away when he does a spin attack

#

if you get athena attack and athena dash with the fist you will be untouchable

tender crown
#

Huh, might finally bother to get her keepsake and run with it then

floral shore
#

Demeter can only show up after you've seen the final boss at least once, it's why you see her less than the others in the first couple hours.

tender crown
#

No, I mean, I've already "unlocked" her, she just appears way less often

empty turtle
#

ive let her and artemtis own me. going full chill runs or full artemtis cast runs can be very fun

#

i think my next run imma do athena attack artemtis special for the fist

floral shore
#

I did my first run with Heightened Security yesterday, just a low heat darkness farm to get it off the fated list. Goodness gracious, that is some serious business.

#

#

Can somebody check my math. I'm very tired so I dont know if I'm messing up and I'm doing it from memory. The dude that sells keys for gems or nectar for keys or etc. At his store its pretty much 1000 gems to get one titan blood, 100 keys to get one titan blood, or 20 nectar to get one titan blood right?

#

Then of course 2 diamond for 1 blood and 1 ambrosia for 1 blood

sage marten
#

you can always also get 1500 obols and go up to styx

granite ether
#

there's also sometimes special deals for titans blood sometimes too

#

(which is your best option for straight buying titan blood imo)

high island
#

The wiki should have all the info for the broker. squirtnya

#

Selling Ambrosia for it I think is a good trade early on. Later, you'll get a lot just from clearing, so that you won't really need to trade for it at all.

sage marten
#

problem about special deals is that they're generally a scam

#

and usually not worth the price

low fiber
#

1 Titan Blood for 15 keys is an absolute steal

sage marten
#

i have never had that one
the broker seems more keen on ripping me off than giving me good deals apparently

The new design of charron looks sick though

Hello there, im new here :d I have been playing hades since last year. Super fan and cant wait for the june update

vague perch

Also, my prediction is that the new weapon aspect, if there is one, will have to be bought from Charron

brisk trail
#

There should be at least one new aspect, according to the roadmap, iirc

vague perch
#

The roadmap said plural, so I'm hoping for 2, but it might just be a "we're working on it, but we won't have it ready for the new update"

i'd love it they just add all the 4 remaining aspects lol

REally? Huh, let's seeeee

granite ether
dawn sierra
#

No, it just looks like a silhouette to me

#

What did you mean?

brisk trail
#

I can't see anything else either

vague perch
#

I can see they icons on the coins on his neclace, I can see his face faintly, the lock on his hat

dawn sierra
#

OoooooooooooooooooH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

granite ether
#

open up the image and look around the centre

#

of the silloutte

dawn sierra
#

I put it in photoshop and changed the Curves

#

I CAN SEE IT!

#

O MY GOD THAT'S SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!

granite ether
#

ikr!?

vague perch
#

It looks REALLY dope

dawn sierra
#

any way I can link it here?

granite ether
#

imgur link is your best best

brisk trail
#

Oh please do post it here

dawn sierra
#

can you see this?

vague perch
#

thank you, I can see it way better this way

#

I only saw it very faintly since I just put my eyes close enough to see stuff

granite ether
#

probably best to spoiler tag that just in case ^_^

dawn sierra
#

how do I do that?

sage marten
#

Charon*
He’d only be charron if he was standing in Phlegeton or something

granite ether
#

|| before and after the thing you want spoiler tagged

merry harbor
#

You put || on each side of the message.

sage marten
#

I think they mean the image

#

Not the message

merry harbor
#

...though the quote message reply rather defeats the purpse

dawn sierra
#

there you go

merry harbor
#

Oh. yeah, but same principle, right?

dawn sierra
#

It's so cool! ^^

sage marten
#

Oh huh
I did not know spoiling links also spoiled the pic

brisk trail
#

I deleted my quote just in case lol Wow, Charon looks awesome

sage marten
#

Pretty neat feature

#

Yeah, Charon’s portrait is one of the best we’ve gotten imo

vague perch
#

Dusa is still my favorite, she's adorable, but this Charon looks dope

dawn sierra
#

He looks so cooooooool!

#

I am so hyped haha!

granite ether
#

yo spoiler tags please when talking about potential spoilers ^_^

fresh blade
#

This is soo awesome, hypeee * Q *

dawn sierra
#

I tagged it now, don't worry ^^

granite ether
#

I'm including general talk about the thing too

dawn sierra
#

ah I see, sorry! I didn't realize

sage marten
#

We’ve known about Charon getting a new portrait since the nighty night trailer though
Plus sgg dropped the non-brightened pic in #announcements , it’s far from a secret at this point

granite ether
#

I mean, it may be "obvious" to you who it is, but it's not to everyone ^_^

dawn sierra
#

there, I dropped it into Spoilers ^^

#

I didn't notice it was a separate chat

sage marten
#

It’s been talked about even prior to the announcement being dropped since, as mentioned, the first time it was shown was technically the nighty night trailer

#

And even then everyone assumed (correctly so) it was him and has referred to is as such
I can understand spoiling the pic since you can see the full portrait but spoiling any talk of it seems like too much imo

fresh blade
#

I´w been wondering, is there a chance I could ask supergiant if they would consider someone for a voice over job. (probably not open, but hey let a man dream)

vague perch
#

They probably have a voice over agency for it. But I'd love to get in contact with that voice over agency. Although they might do a lot of it in house

granite ether
#

from memory yeah, they do quite a lot of voiceover work in house

#

but I'm not 100% certain on that

fresh blade
#

Interesting, where are they located ?

granite ether
#

can always check the credits of their games to be certain of who voiced which character ^_^

sage marten
#

Yeah iirc they rely a lot on in-house talent

#

A surprising amount of NPCs are voiced by the same person

fresh blade
#

I just looked it up, San Francisco

granite ether
#

it helps cut down on extra hiring costs that way

sage marten
#

Aye

#

Ssg being an indie study means they don’t have a AAA budget so having talented voice actors probably helps

granite ether
#

mmhm definitely ^_^

vague perch
#

If they're looking, I'd love to do a singular npc for free or cheap, lol

granite ether
#

there's a tonne of good talent on the SGG team

brisk trail
#

The voice acting is superb. And it really surprised me that the same person did like Poseidon and Hades. Both chars have very distinctive personalities, and their voices have a lot of personality and identity. Really good job

vague perch
#

Definitely, every part of their games are amazing imo

granite ether
#

they've certainly improved a metric tonne as well from bastion as well bittie3

brisk trail
#

They did

vague perch
#

And Bastion is still a great game, so that says a lot

fresh blade
#

Yea, the voices are absolutely stunning

brisk trail
#

But Bastion is like one of the best games i've played in the past years, and it's their debut. It's an amazing feat

fresh blade
#

Its too bad im over the pond, I would love to do some work for them

brisk trail
#

Transistor is also truly amazing. It looks better than most AAA games i've played in my entire life, it's just VERY gorgeous. And the mechanics are also great

#

Never played Pyre, tho, but it's already installed, so shall play it soon enough lol

vague perch
#

All I can do is make very avarage mspaint fanart and voice act, and since they're voice acting is inhouse I won't really be able to do much for them

fresh blade
#

I have never played Transistor though. I have played Pyre quite a bit.

granite ether
#

it definitely helps that individual members had experience from elsewhere before starting up SGG
Pyre is a very unique experience I will say that much

fresh blade
#

@granite ether its quite Unique, I must say

brisk trail
#

Yeah, i read on Steam comments it's something you might actually like or not like at all, because of how unique it is haha And i love these kind of things

fresh blade
#

Is very ballzy 😆

dawn sierra
#

I've played the heck out of Bastion and Pyre. I have Transistor but I need to sit down and play it someday. Right now, hooked on Hades hehe

brisk trail
#

So many games, so little time

fresh blade
#

Btw. they are no multiplayer plans for this game ? It would be kinda Isaacy if they had something with the companions you get.

brisk trail
#

Co-op Hades would be amazing

fresh blade
#

Yea, the second player would be able to play as Dusa

  • Q*
dawn sierra
#

That does would be awesome. I doubt it would be a thing though, it just doesn't seem like something this studio would do, at least in my impression

fresh blade
#

It would be possible though. Instead of an AI controlling Dusa, you could take control of it.

raw moth
#

Considering how chaotic the game already is I can't imagine coop working at all, especially with how fast the camera is flinging around to catch up with you

dawn sierra
#

True, though it would take a lot of work, not to cheapen the experience for the sake of multiplayer

granite ether
#

Yeah, hades is being built as a single player experience, so I highly doubt co-op aspects will be added to it

dawn sierra
#

Though I would love something like challenges or shareable scoreboards you can compete with friends on

fresh blade
#

Yea, that would be awesome.

brisk trail
#

Considering how chaotic the game already is I can't imagine coop working at all, especially with how fast the camera is flinging around to catch up with you
@raw moth Yeah, i don't know how it would work out. But SGG is so talented i think they could manage lol

@void vigil Haha no big deal. I love it the way it is

ivory mortar
#

You could add a combat mode where you run through a dungeon, get some boons, then fight the other hades with their individual build

#

then you keep going through rounds of 3, oh what could be, but I totally see why its a single player experience

fading gazelle
#

Multiplayer would have been nice though sigh

ivory mortar
#

I could easily see the screen getting too messy

#

imagine both guys having the azaroth or whatever the gun is and then fog bombs with 4 crystals

#

I was spamming that like crazy with blade shhift,

lol

agile saddle
#

The game is way too small for multiplayer. Like most rooms just aren't that big to support something like that

fading gazelle
#

screams in temple of styx

ivory mortar
#

thats why I suggested a combat mode instead, that way you fight with someone that is not like any boss but yourself

#

but even then

#

lol

fading gazelle
#

It sounds cool but also pretty messy

agile saddle
#

Temple of Styx completely ruins the game for me I absolutely hate that area and I think it's poorly designed and the enemies are probably the worst in the game

Bastion and Pyre are pretty family friendly

ivory mortar

I can definitely see why Bastion

#

Oh well

rough token
#

They also don't go into the darker side of the myths, imo

sage marten
#

setting all companies trying for their official sites to be as pg as possible for the sake of looks aside, the other two games are things a younger person could probably play without any issues

#

so i can understand why'd they'd be a bit more restrictive on the official discord

ivory mortar

Which is sad, cause part of the myth is the dark side

It stops you from idolizing them

is that a season name?

But essentially India has an entire region of the year dedicated to rain

ivory mortar

jesus

so like seattle

fading gazelle
#

Pretty much

manic bobcat
#

They should add weather as new effects in Hades

granite ether
#

Pineapple, there's no one interpretation of greek mythos, just because those dark themes exist doesn not mean they should be in the context of Hades; Supergiant have downright downplayed or in some cases outright changed mythos is some aspects to ensure the game is more suitable for an audience of a wide range of demographics

fading gazelle
#

Ooh like how though?

#

Oof

#

The wall of text

ivory mortar
#

Im just saying they are there and are part of it as a whole, thus the game is raising kids to idolize people who shouldnt; im not against the pg filter.

fading gazelle

What idea did you have in mind for weather? @manic bobcat

manic bobcat
#

Sandstorm made it hard to see (already a thing with certain heat options, but quite limited)

in all seriousness, maybe you're not as clear minded today
quick paced games like Hades do require quick reflexes and stuff like being more or less well rested can really influence the way you play

maybe cause im in lava

yeah don't stand in lava either

the phlegeton can really eat your hp if you get careless

How long have you've been playing for?

sage fog
#

Hi, when is the June Update?

tender crown
#

June

low fiber
#

so nothing concrete yet

sage fog
#

Ok thank ! = )

cyan cloud
#

ah yes

#

I have impulse bought this game

#

random qs, will it ever have co-op?

#

and also, is the story complete?

quaint bramble
#

The story won’t be complete till the 1.0 release from what devs have said, and I also don’t think co-op is intended for the final product.

cyan cloud
#

ah makes sense

#

perhaps I should wait till 1.0

tender crown
#

Yes, it's intended for it to be a solo experience

#

No, just go ahead and play it, you won't regret it

#

At least give it a try, the story is already well-developed

quaint bramble
#

I agree, and I don’t know if they plan to raise the price after Hades exits early access but a lot of roguelites tend to

cyan cloud
#

aah aight will do, thanku lads

tender crown
#

It would make sense for them to raise the price

cyan cloud
#

riight, prices, I slightly regret getting it from steam instead of epic because less of a cut goes to the devs

#

but oh well

warm radish
#

every day in june i’ll be respectfully looking in the discord lmao

low fiber
#

i don't know what the grand total story content is, but currently it feels almost complete

#

also, by design, it takes quite a few playthroughs to flesh out all the story beats

#

so it wouldn't necessarily be a waste to play now

cyan cloud
#

I love the replayability, was a turn off in pyre (I still love pyre)

#

mhm, Ill give the game a shot

low fiber
#

but also you wouldn't be wrong to wait for the soon-to-be final product

cyan cloud
#

oh right, is it soon?

#

or very far into 2020 due to pandemic

low fiber
#

i'm not one to say but they've announced that they are still "on track"

#

and that the pandemic has not led to any significant delays to the next update. Not sure about the final product.

tender crown
#

Pretty sure it's still a few months from now, most likely late 2020

rancid quarry
#

Duos don't have rarity scope, correct?

I'm offered a choice between:

  • Deadly Flourish (Epic)
  • Deadly Reversal (Duo)

I might not get offered Deadly Flourish at Epic again, but I'll probably get offered the Duo again, right? (I'm in Tartarus.)

sage marten
#

Duos do have their own rarity scope iirc

tender crown
#

Duos are considered Tier 3 aren't they

rancid quarry
#

So take the Duo, don't be confident I'll see it again?

dreamy roost
#

If you don't have the increased legendary/duo boons from the mirror, I would not be confident in seeing it again

#

If you do have that, then you can have confidence that you might, but you still might not. Honestly, if it were me, it'd depend on how far into the run I am for which one I'd pick

rancid quarry
#

I do have that at Max (while I level up the increased likelihood of getting good rooms).

low fiber
#

i would also consider how often you think you'd be able to make use of deadly reversal

rancid quarry
#

Tartarus.

low fiber
#

vs deadly flourish

tender crown
#

Btw about the mirror upgrade of % increase on legendaries and duos

rancid quarry
#

I have Athena Dash with Fists, so often?

tender crown
#

Is it a multiplicative or additive increase?

low fiber
#

i've definitely turned down deadly flourish for another boon that i thought would be more useful

dreamy roost
#

oh, if you're in Tartarus, I wouldn't mind taking flourish, especially if you can force the gods via keepsakes. It really depends which you value more then

low fiber
#

and never saw it again (also in tartarus)

tender crown
#

Like if the mirror perk is at 10%, does the chance become for example 1,1% or 11%

dreamy roost
#

And I assume additive

tender crown
#

If the original chance is supposedly 1%

low fiber
#

but also i've turned down duos and gotten them to reappear so it's ultimately up to you

#

different door types can help you game the rng a bit too

tender crown
#

Never had the balls to turn down a duo

low fiber
#

since you're in tartarus, you have at least 2 miniboss doors that up your rarity odds

#

in the next two biomes

#

and then any door or any buy from charon in the final biome

tender crown
#

Would be nice if the game had more biomes

floral shore
#

Imo turning down duos is only worth it if a) you get it offered very early, b) it's not build enabling (like there is not a snowball's chance in hell I'm gonna pass up Hunting Blades for anything) and c) the replacement is very worth it.

tender crown
#

Maybe Islands of the Blessed a side area

low fiber
#

that's a solid breakdown

#

b and c, definitely the more important decision questions

tender crown
#

More often than not they're the best stuff you'll be able to pick from

floral shore
#

There's also the Poseidon + Aphro or Dionysus boons that you either take early or don't bother.

low fiber
#

a, i think gets thrown out the window if it enables you a really strong build that you can take advantage of early

rancid quarry
#

I don't think I'm going for a build. I've already used one keepsake (to get Artemis), so I could force Athena and hope for Duo again.

tender crown
#

I got the Poseidon + Dio boon in Elysium and it was still worth it

#

Helps in Styx and Charon Shops

#

Made me get a legendary in Styx

floral shore
#

It does help there, not a question, it's just that they become exponentially more valuable the earlier you get them.

tender crown
#

Oh, indeed, I agree

#

Getting it in Tartarus would be the dream

floral shore
#

Well, maybe not exponentially, but still. A lot.

low fiber
#

linearly more valuable squirtnya

high island
#

Getting any Duo and selling it later is still better value than any Epic.

low fiber
#

gotta pay those charon debts lest he break our legs in styx

patent topaz
#

sometimes i feel like i never improve in the game... now i always beat up the furies but i always take many damage
Or sometimes i take very unecessary damage that i could have easily avoided if i had just been more careful
It's demoralizing, i don't even want to do the run anymore, i'm gonna die early because i'm stupid and i can't do nothing about it. Also will i ever be better at this? Everyone is better than me it seems etc. Was it also like this for some of you?

Relax, you'll get better

#

Pay attention to the right boon combinations, too

#

Go in with a build in mind and try to get the right boons, it'll make life a lot easier

patent topaz
#

right now i just pick the boons i like the most, i wanted to wait before startegy building since i suck at it lol

rough token
#

I'm coming into this with a lot of hours in other, similar games. That being said, it took me a while to get good at them. It can be a slow process, for sure. My best advice, something I learned from martial arts—slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Practice timing dashes instead of constantly dodging, waiting to use attacks until they're in a good position.

ivory mortar
#

I mean, I knew I was getting better when I on;y beat the first fury with fog

tender crown
#

The game isn't THAT strict with combinations, since it's rng based

fading gazelle
#

Don't worry about getting far in the run, the beauty of rougelites is that you get better after every run. Just keep at it and you'll get there

ivory mortar
#

Master the craft

#

except everytime you get far, you get wiped out by something you couldnt expect

#

/s

fading gazelle
#

Its a learning experience XD

tender crown
#

You gotta think about synergy, y'know? For example, a weapon that hits really quick would be good with Zeus' boons, while a slow one not so much

fading gazelle
#

A weapon that can stack on a lot of damage, but it slow, could use something like artemis who enhances critical damage

patent topaz
#

the thing is that i'm 40ish runs in the game and i still need to cling to the lucky tooth like my life depends on it
And the Hydra is painful
And Alecto, listen, she's cool but BOI take some anger management lessons you can't always be angry

ivory mortar
#

I definitely decide gods based on weapons but all gods seemingly have a spin for it

tender crown
#

Alecto you can bait into the spikes, she'll kill herself

ivory mortar
#

whether its good or bad

tender crown
#

Focus on 2 or 3 gods, it'll help

ivory mortar
#

I expected the kick to be a dynamic entry

#

😦

fading gazelle
#

If you are ashamed of using the lucky tooth, don't be. I'm running 20+ heat and I've almost used the lucky tooth in my runs. Its just that good of a keepsake

tender crown
#

And yeah the hydra can be a real mess I got destroyed the first few times I went up against it

patent topaz
#

Sometimes i realize i chose a good boon, but later
Like "huh, Dionysus'special is cool on the spear bc i give hangover 2x on enemies, didn't notice that but cool"

sage marten
#

nah, lucky tooth is a good failsafe trinket if you got unlucky and lost too many DDs before styx

tender crown
#

Keep moving, dashes are lifesavers. Get the +1 dash mirror uprade asap

patent topaz
#

The 2nd phase is a pain
I can't even imagine EM

sage marten
#

yeah, dash and DDs ought to be your priority mirror upgrades

patent topaz
#

but i already have that dw

tender crown
#

Good

patent topaz
#

I'm saving for the 3rd DD

ivory mortar
#

I max my lives and still use lucky tooth

tender crown
#

Realize that delay between "consecutive dashes" is pretty small

fading gazelle
#

EM Hydra is indeed pain

tender crown
#

Wait what does EM mean I'm trippin

ivory mortar
#

theres almost no delay tbh

fading gazelle
#

Extreme measures

tender crown
#

uh

ivory mortar
#

like its not worth even noticing

low fiber
#

just to be clear, lucky tooth is usually mathematically inferior to several other trinkets such as myrmidon bracer and acorn

ivory mortar
#

not to say its non existent

tender crown
#

That extra life tho >>>

fading gazelle
#

Yeah

low fiber
#

so it is worth trying other defensive trinkets

manic bobcat
#

Acorn is the superior lucky tooth

rough token
#

The thing is, acorn only applies to boss fights

#

Keep that in mind

ivory mortar
#

thats why you switch trinkits inbetween lands

#

duh

low fiber
#

you can't think of it as only extra life

patent topaz
#

The thing is, sometimes i just let numbskulls gnaw me or louts or witches or skeletons, and it's frustrating because i could have easily avoided their attacks but i'm impatient

fading gazelle
#

I use the acorn in elysium and the tooth in the final area

manic bobcat
#

Imagine dying in normal rooms smh my head

rough token
#

So if you're struggling with more than that, it's worth trying other ones

low fiber
#

extra life represents a finite amount of hp

tender crown
#

I usually go with God trinkets until Elysium or Styx if my build is great

low fiber
#

which you have to weigh against damage reduction/negation

tender crown
#

They really help when you're trying to get a duo

#

@patent topaz Thankfully, that's easy to fix. Just be more chill, might want to try ranged weapons too

fading gazelle
#

Well the extra life helps me stay calm in the final boss and overall I usually don't need it but it helps me destress and not be impatient

manic bobcat
#

The acorn has that effect for me

#

I play the how long can I save acorn game

low fiber
#

nothing can take away from how a keepsake can make you feel

manic bobcat
#

And actually focus more on dodging lol

tender crown
#

I don't remember what the acorn does can someone remind me

patent topaz
#

Maybe those times i'm just burned out from playing too much, i admit i'm a bit addicted to technology etc.

ivory mortar
#

rifle + zeus attack chain residentzag

manic bobcat
#

Acorn negates up to 5 boss attacks

fading gazelle
#

The acorn gives you free hits

manic bobcat
#

Depending on level

tender crown
#

Bruh I played this game for 18 hours in like 1,5 days it's ok I'm addicted too

#

Oh right I remember

manic bobcat
#

Hey bro me too when I first got it

#

Lol

tender crown
#

Acorn looks hella OP on final boss ngl

patent topaz
#

i have 45 hours ahah i'm a mess

tender crown
#

Damn

rough token
#

That being said, taking it slow (the bow or the spear are good for that) will help you practice timing dodges. Trust me, I still get hit by louts sometimes :P

manic bobcat
#

Yeah I almost auto equip it for Elysium and Styx

fading gazelle
#

I usually take unneccessary hits with Thesus's 2nd phase so the acorn really clutches over there for me

empty turtle
#

I personally do god trinkets first 3 levels and for the 4th level I just take the cerbus trinket for more health or coin pouch to help me buy stuff. Sometimes I do pouch for the 3rd level if I messed up and lost a death defiance to help me buy one. But typically doing that method helps you focus on 3 gods that either synergize well or that you simply like and make the game pretty easy. Like I personally love demeter so I sometimes just start each game with demeter. Today I wanted to do a deflect crit build so I just did athena and arthritis trinket to help out. Usually getting the gods ya want makes the game a bit easier

tender crown
#

Oh god I hate Theseus' second phase so much

empty turtle
#

I hate theseus in general

patent topaz
#

the acorn looks amazing i'm giving nectar to my girl next time, could use it on the Hydra to prepare myself for Elysium

tender crown
#

The entire arena blows up

low fiber
#

bone hourglass is the real winner

rough token
#

That was my first one, actually

manic bobcat
#

Yeah acorn is a real life saver

fading gazelle
#

I agree it is such a carry

low fiber
#

why block damage when i can just outdps the boss?

ivory mortar
#

how do you get acorn?

manic bobcat
#

Despite its innocuous description

empty turtle
#

You give Eurydice nectar

patent topaz
#

It's Eurydice's keepsake

Meg best girl, fight me

those should probably be spoilered in the discussion section

meg is definitely the better fury

sage marten

manic bobcat

sage marten

@patent topaz i think you may have developed stockholme syndrome's from all the whipping

ivory mortar

does she come later on in the story

#

or where do I find her

manic bobcat
#

Who?

ivory mortar

eurydice

manic bobcat

She is in Asphodel

Meg is that one girl who I hope ends up liking me in the end ok

ivory mortar

Why start a waifu war when poligamy exists

manic bobcat

Nah

fading gazelle

Ashley's voice is amazing

manic bobcat

She is before that

ivory mortar

oh

tender crown

I'm sorry Meg >>>>> Artemis, she's more mature and her voice is residentzag

sage marten
#

because ares and aphrodite demand so

manic bobcat

You don't meet her in every run

sage marten
#

WAIFU WARS FOR THE WAIFU WAR GODS

yeah, meeting eurydice is pretty rng-based

tender crown

I don't even care I'm spitting fax

fading gazelle

Artemis is so awkward and adorable and that's just my prefered type of trope in video game girls

manic bobcat
#

If you are in Asphodel, you can find her in the ! room with the grey background

sage marten

you may have been spitting fax but you forgot to spit logic with it

#

You'll get her in a few runs

Artemis' tried to shoot me with arrows after I picked Zeus over her or something like that

Big burn

Hey your fault for not picking best girl

ivory mortar

Maybe you have already but didn't pick the correct room

fading gazelle

I understand why she got pissed

ivory mortar

I only say that so I get her next run

manic bobcat

That's night impossible not to see her lol

sage marten

it'll eventually happen with all the olympians once you get enough trials of the gods rooms
AVOID PISSING OFF ARES LIKE THE PLAGUE, IF YOU GET ARES AND SOMEONE ELSE CHOOSE WHOEVER IS NOT ARES

what was said 😐

empty turtle

Literally got her cast and I'm like oh this is cool and then I got every cast boon from her including her legendary and I was like so this is what it feels like to be a god. Demeter got me my first 16 heat win with demeter fist as well so I respect her as well. Still havent got 32 heat yet but I got an idea that involves athena artemtis and demeter fist

Don't piss of Athena

literally I had to deal with aphrodite on my first trial

aphrodite's trial is surprisingly manageable imo

I had no clue what the hell was gonna happen

sage marten

just keep an eye on the hearts and dash away from em

just don't piss off anyone, got it 😂

Too many people typing too many things ahhhhh

Athena's is the only one I actively avoid facing

See NotVolty and I are like on the same wavelength. Never piss off athena

fading gazelle

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

sage marten

that was painful

athena's not that bad since she only makes things briefly invincible

manic bobcat
#

Athana is fine

empty turtle
#

NO if you ever have a chance to take two boons over one I say take it

sage marten
#

ares summoning blenders on your ass is painful though

Nah Meg is a good waifu, she's a mature working woman who's tired of Zagreus' antics but still treats him not that badly and calls him "Zag". And her voice. B e s t G i r l

Athena is my lord and savior in asphodel, now i'm addicted to deflect

Artemis is best girl since she doesn't go crazy when you have her trial.

Tight Deadline and pissing off Athena is a big no-no

manic bobcat

She is nice about it

sage marten

@patent topaz you are doomed
there is no cure for athena addiction

She does though

because deflection memes are too fun to not do them
