hoary quiver
#

Hello, does anyone know if Supergiant maybe plans to release an artbook (even digitally) for Hades? Would love to learn how the characters are sketched and stuff like that >_>

sage marten
#

shrug

#

probably still too early to tell since the game (and as consequence, the art) is still being made

#

hell, the next update's still introducing portraits for new NPCs

hoary quiver
#

im just so in love with the style every time I see them ._.

#

since last year its still my personal fav purchase made in a looong while

#

also I just realized that Charon's look is visible so I kinda spoiled if for myself

sage marten
#

yeah, the artstyle's great

hoary quiver
#

i only wish I could get the pet from sisyphus, I think only one more conversations is needed with Thanatos for it but he just keeps avoidin me

void vigil
#

theres some stuff you can see in noclip's documentaries about hades if you havent watched them yet! @hoary quiver

#

though i think theyre out of order here? but they have the numbers in the titles

narrow hemlock
#

you can see meg, asterius and theseus in part 3 and theres a zagreus reference on jen's twitter

#

i cant recall anything else off the top of my head, id have to skim the other noclip docs again to see if there was anything else

void vigil
#

yeah part 3 is focused on the art but i do recommend all of them in general! theyre super interesting ^0^

narrow hemlock
#

oh yeah for sure

#

def hoping for a collection of concept arts and stuff post launch though because those are always fun to see

void vigil
#

i think artbooks have been the most popular request

#

and i definitely would love one as well

#

i love concept art... love seeing it

narrow hemlock
#

wish they had shown off more in part 3, alas

sage marten
#

Look at that anime theseus

#

That’s half a joey

#

He just needs the derp face now

narrow hemlock
#

or having it thrown at him i guess, squints

#

Asterius is so tall

#

Hi guys. Sorry if this is the wrong chat for this, but I would like to report a bug. Where can I do it?

narrow hemlock
#

if youre still ingame, f10

#

alright, thank you

sage marten
#

Man, theseus’ arms are long

#

asterius' arms are out like that bc hes ready to hug you

1 day closer to the June update

narrow hemlock
#

rattles the bars of my cage, soon

sage marten
#

inb4 delayed

buoyant frigate
#

@sharp parcel I can't wait!!

patent topaz
#

wake me up until september the wait ends

#

btw i started playing after the nighty night update, they said the wait for this update was longer than the previous, is that true? Do updates take this long to come out?

sharp parcel
#

the June update took twice as much time as updates usually take

sage marten
#

Probably the whole porting and fiddling with the code bit

brisk trail
#

They did say they were working towards multi-platform support

#

And from what I've seen, this always takes some time

humble pulsar
#

updates have historically been on a 2 month schedule

#

this one was an exception due to some code refactoring and working on multi-platform support (I believe what they're working on is actually detailed in the game's main menu if you click the button in the bottom right corner)

sharp parcel
#

yes, aside from technical stuff they're adding tons of new content

narrow hemlock
#

oh seems new chambers are actually confirmed for this update, interesting

brisk trail
#

please don't be new Asphodel rooms with tons of lava

#

PLEASE don't be new Asphodel rooms with tons of lava

vast junco
#

lol oh no

narrow hemlock
#

idk greg just said new chambers, nothing specific

#

In that update we will be adding new foes, new Boons (godlike powers) and Daedalus Hammer enchantments (weapon upgrades), new chambers, new weapon Aspects (i.e. alternate versions of our weapons), new items, new cosmetics for the House of Hades (your hub), a bunch of new story events, and other content, fleshing out some of our game systems and adding more variety.

#

from there

brisk trail
#

New foes 👀

vast junco
#

five new asphodel chambers, all bigger than previous existing ones

#

90% lava

brisk trail
#

oh no

narrow hemlock
#

the floor is literally lava

vast junco
#

lmao

#

huh, wait yeah i don't think i paid attention to the new foes part before

#

that's exciting

flat vapor
#

moving platforms on lava when

vast junco
#

technically we have the barge

#

ba dum tss

narrow hemlock
#

new foes was mentioned in the nighty night trailer

#

chambers wasnt though so thats why that part interested me

flat vapor
#

i don't they've ever explicitly hyped up new chambers lol

#

they've just been always part of the updates

narrow hemlock
#

yeah i dont expect them to but im just wondering what these chambers are going to entail. is it just adding more rooms to the biomes, are they going to be chambers with specific purposes, ect

vast junco
#

I doubt they'd be anything super noteworthy, probably just more general use biome encounter chambers

signal goblet
#

U N D E R W A T E R L E V E L

akshually that's not part of the underworld

sharp parcel
#

Ten Thousand Leagues Under the Styx

signal goblet
#

that's the update name

#

new biome. kraken boss. poseidon plotline. abominable clunky ass 3d controls

flat vapor
#

#

#

gonna have fun with my liquid justice

signal goblet
#

HOY NEPHEW i see you've met my little pet the kraken whathodontmindhimhistempestuoustemperis

tender crown
#

Oof that'd be cool

#

Sadly they don't plan to add new biomes

sharp parcel
#

technically, Styx wouldn't be new

solar coral
#

supergiant doesn't want you to know the truth. when they said no new biomes, that was a red herring, the next update will add a open world on the surface to explore and search for Persephone

manic bobcat
#

Open world Hades

past rune
#

I'd love to play as persephone escaping the underworld

#

or even be forced to escape from the bottom of Tartarus

nimble ocean
#

stealth-action prequel DLC

#

hype

brisk trail
#

Maybe the sequel could be called Zeus, with Heracles trying to escape Olympus or something like that lol

#

Then you would get boons from Nyx, Hades, Thanatos, etc.

sharp parcel
#

you play as Persephone who must escape Hades while evading his goons. Nyx is your companion.

solar coral
#

^^^^^ this would be great

#

stealth, distracting shades, help from hermes to "deliver" you from the underworld

signal goblet
#

i think a high octane game like hades culminating in a stealth minigame would be a big bummer

rapid raft
narrow hemlock
#

i dont think so

#

the intent was never to add/represent all of the olympian pantheon

sage marten
#

Yeah, in this case the runes indicate less the gods that were going to be there and more the olympians that were present during the titanomachy

nimble ocean
#

well, stealth DLC can be a completely new story in another save, unlockable only after a flashback in the main story, it doesn't have to be a culmination

sinful saffron
#

Right but it's an odd decision to include the other five gods but not Hestia

rapid raft
#

Yeah, I also thought that if they would add an other God, it would maybe be Apollo. But this art made me think about Hestia instead

narrow hemlock
#

lets get to 1.0 first before we theorize about dlc lmao, they may not do dlc after all

nimble ocean
#

not like it will ever be done anyway

sinful saffron
#

Or I guess Hera isn't there either think

sage marten
#

I got it
The stealth DLC will also be the one introducing Hera
You gotta move around without her noticing because she thinks Zeus is into Zag now given all the attention he’s giving him and decided a smiting was in order

rapid raft
#

huuuu good point about Hera!

sage marten
#

It’s less about hades not noticing and more hera not noticing

#

Booya, DLC done now where’s my royalties supergiant

rapid raft
#

How many empty boxes do we have left for the gifts :')?

sinful saffron
#

Uhhh 6 I think?

solar coral
#

supergiants probably the only devs who could actually convince me to buy a dlc

sinful saffron
#

7

#

Er, no, 6, I was right the first time

#

...no 8

#

God I'm going to bed lmao

signal goblet
#

do i hear 9? 9 boxes?

sinful saffron
#

Shhhhhh

narrow hemlock
#

its okay no one here can count, if they say they can theyre lying squirtheh

sinful saffron
#

I'm old and tired

rapid raft
#

We don't know what's after the current final boss... if there is a lot to discover after that, it would be ok to have even more gods I guess

sinful saffron
#

No I'm dumb it's 7 take me out back

#

I forgot there's 3 in the bottom row, not 2

sage marten
#

What about
10 boxes

signal goblet
#

I'm not sure they're adding any playable content after the final boss

sinful saffron
#

I'm so sorry Master Chaos

narrow hemlock
#

we have to remember the story is focused on zag's quest specifically though

sinful saffron
#

I mean, the way the Narrator at the end says things, it is strongly implied there's going to be content past the current final boss

signal goblet
#

the wording is sort of ambiguous right? just says they're making an ending. but who knows, things change.

sage marten
#

You mean this wasn’t Dusaquest all along?

narrow hemlock
#

unless its a separate chamber i dont see how. theres stuff in qa about no further biomes

#

🤔

signal goblet
#

Hades DLC: Dusaquest: Dusa's Revenge: Live Free or Dusa Hard

sage marten
#

Hey, we did get Erebus as a tecnically separate biome

narrow hemlock
#

its not a biome though its just a single chamber...

sinful saffron
#

The narrator's got a few voicelines talking about Zag continuing on... except his tale will have to continue at another time

nimble ocean
#

what if the surface is not counted as a new biome, since it's in the game aready?

sage marten
#

You know what would be cool
A Chaos Realm exploration expansion

#

time to fight greek shoggoths in Chaos’ turf

signal goblet
#

i want to fix this narrative right now he is not "the narrator" it is clearly and abundantly Dante

sinful saffron
#

Uh? Okay? Source?

narrow hemlock
#

source for what

sinful saffron
#

Dante being the narrator/old man

signal goblet
#

the statue is of a great poet. the statue responds in the narrator's voice when you poke it. dante is a poet who wrote much of the source material for the game's universe.

narrow hemlock
#

oh i missed that completely lol

signal goblet
#

ipso bingo bango syllogismo it's dante

sage marten
#

That’s him joking probably

sinful saffron
#

I'm bad at picking up sarcasm/jokes

signal goblet
#

i'm like 80% serious

sage marten
#

for shame

#

The narrator is probably an ancient greek poet or a rhapsode

sinful saffron
#

Dante was fascinated with the Greeks

sage marten
#

He doesn’t speak too rhytmically so probably not a rhapsode

sinful saffron
#

So there's some merit there

signal goblet
#

dante or virgil @ me

sinful saffron
#

asdkljaskjdasd

signal goblet
#

dev confirmation 2021 or bust

sage marten
#

Yes but if this were dante Hades would read as christian fanfiction

#

And not the current greek fanfiction

sinful saffron
#

True

signal goblet
#

I think I meant to open that can of worms with virgil i'm just a little rusty on my lit

rapid raft
#

Huuuuu, I can't wait for the next patch and see what's after the boss if no region 😢

sinful saffron
#

as we do not have plans to add more regions akin to Tartarus or Asphodel.

The akin in there makes me side-eye this response a bit hahaha

sage marten
#

That may have been a reference to Erebus since it tecnically counts as a separate biome

#

Or at least it does for on the Codex

sinful saffron
#

True

nimble ocean
#

or Chaos' realm

narrow hemlock
#

its in the codex as a separate area but yeah i dont count it as a biome since you only find it as a single chamber per each biome

#

thats why i dont really think theres too much past the current ending either. we know they wont add a whole new area, so at most if theres further content its probably a few extra chambers or whatever thanthink

rapid raft
#

At some point I'm sure we'll get to Olympus. Maybe that's what they meant.

nimble ocean
#

maybe some cutscenes?

narrow hemlock
#

zag's goal isnt olympus?

#

the olympians are helping him escape but his goal was never to get to olympus. the olympians think it is

charred bronze
#

it is better they dont know the true i think

#

if they knew all about it, they might do crazy things

sage marten
#

Yeah
Don’t think we’ll get to Olympus in the story proper or just get to olympus flat

rapid raft
#

Exactly. And I don't see what or why we would be fighting at the Olympus

sinful saffron
#

The only areas of the Greek Underworld we haven't seen is the Mourning Fields and the Isles of the Blessed, but the Isles are a part of Elysium, and the Mourning Fields... I don't even know where those would go

narrow hemlock
#

its implied multiple times that if the olympians knew what was really going on there would be dire consequences, yeah

sage marten
#

Isn’t asphodel the fields?

charred bronze
#

they are already forcing you to choose between two if them, get mad about it, and inmediatly forgive you

sinful saffron
#

Asphodel Meadows and Mourning Fields are listed as different

sage marten
#

Oh yeah

sinful saffron
#

Then again Erebus is commonly considered interchangeable with Tartarus, and is the name of Nyx's brother

#

So who knows

#

Nyx's brother in actual mythology, I should clarify

rapid raft
#

If we always go up... do we have to get to the mortal world before Olympus?

sage marten
#

Unlikely that we’ll see the fields since that’s more Aeneid territory and not greek stuff proper

rapid raft
#

Like Athens or something

sinful saffron
#

Yes, mortal world is between the underworld and Olympus

rapid raft
#

Hu, I wonder how exploring the mortal world would be in Hades

sage marten
#

You tecnically get to get to the surface

#

Also if we go by Hades lore the mortal world is ||pretty frosty atm||

sinful saffron
#

True true

rapid raft
#

The Elysium is called as "the surface"... But what's after the Styx looks more like the mortal world actually

sinful saffron
#

Elysium isn't the surface

#

Zag just wonders if the surface looks like Elysium

sage marten
#

Yeah, closest it gets is Zag wondering if the surface- yeah

rapid raft
#

Hmmm right

#

I also wonder what's up with the seasons. Demeter is not only winter but all of them and Persephone brings Spring back if I ain't wrong. But winter seems to be at its gold time, makes me wondering if we will actually see Persephone soon (Like, is she actually that close?)

charred bronze
#

well i have the feeling that demeter is holding a gruge

sinful saffron
#

That's treading into spoiler territory I think

sage marten
#

You’ll see what’s going on as you progress with Demeter, yeah

sinful saffron
#

A god? hold a grudge? unpossible

charred bronze
#

well considering how fast the get angry at you for making a choice between them then forget about it?

rapid raft
#

Yeah, I'm being careful on this topic :'), but this doesn't reveal much I think?

granite ether
sage marten
#

The ||eternal winter|| is a pretty big wham line though

#

#

Any estimated time period, e.g. 2020 Q3

sage marten
#

We dunno

sinful saffron
#

Uhhhh not as far as I know

#

They're being very careful not to give end dates so they can be sure to not inadvertently make promises they can't keep

brisk trail
#

Gotcha. Thanks.

sinful saffron
#

Especially with the pandemic and everything right now

brisk trail
#

Yeah, I totally get that.

narrow hemlock
#

they havent indicated pandemic has affected anything, when the march update came out they were already saying the next update would be some time in june with no specific date

#

its largely the scope of the update itself thats taking a while

granite ether

All we know is "later this year"

#

We'll get more once the devs can announce more

Besides the next update hasn't dropped yet

OK so.... question time! If you could adopt one of the gods to be one of your relatives, who would you pick?

narrow hemlock
#

i do think poseidon's comment feels more like a hate against hades and what he represents rather than like... actually hating the dead... ||he refers to hades as "crusty" a few times and claims hades has tried to "poison" zag against the olympians, so i kinda feel thats related to the filthy dead remark||

granite ether
#

I'd adopt artemis, but I'd also be happy with it being the other way round too

manic bobcat
#

Dionysus

#

Can be my brother

deep pivot
#

I'd pick Artemis as my cousin because she's chill and adorable :3

#

We would get lost in the forest and I'd make fun of her in many ways lol

narrow hemlock
#

and that was the last we heard of peach, tragic

past rune
#

I'd probably pick Artemis myself, cause she seems like a chill introvert I could high five and then not talk to for a week without any loss of friendship

manic bobcat
#

Idk how to characterize Aphrodite

vast junco

artemis' affinity meter never goes down

past rune

I would not recommend that as family fox

@vast junco except when you don't pick her in a Trial squirtheh

Aphrodite is friendly...most the time

Dionysus or Aphrodite?

manic bobcat

Arte trial is he easiest one

I'd have Dionysus as my cousin 🍷

Yeah Arte barely even tries to kill you

everyones saying arty so yknow what i want hermes. gonna bro it up with hermes

manic bobcat

That's why I spurn her so often, despite my aching heart.

deep pivot

I meant her remarks. She sounds soo sad and betrayed failbag

Dionysus sounds like the guy who parties way harder than you, and is always drinking, but very rarely seems wasted or unhappy

Or rather the whole week

Dionysus is fun times all the time 🎊

deep pivot
#

I get the feeling Hermes is that relative who's never around your house.

#

"Hey, got places to be. See ya around!"

dense torrent
#

Oh the always busy relative

manic bobcat
#

That's Ares

past rune
#

Would Ares still be Hermes' boss?

#

is Hermes the underpaid intern?

narrow hemlock
#

i wanna believe theyre actually fairly close but thats just my preference pulling off the 'if hermes hadnt saved ares from the bronze jar he would have definitely perished there' myth

deep pivot
#

Speaking of relatives, why is the Aphrodite's wiki page stated as "?" in the relationships section? thanthink

#

Shouldn't Zeus at least be listed as her dad?

manic bobcat
#

Probably Nyaa's doing

deep pivot
#

Hermes saved Ares? 😮

vast junco
#

i think @narrow hemlock knows about this? i saw this being discussed a little while ago

narrow hemlock
#

is aphrodite even referred to as a relative in any dialogue?

#

and yes

dense torrent
#

Didn't Aphrodite in myth just like come out of the ocean?

deep pivot
#

No, I meant the gamepedia @dense torrent

#

The SGG Hades wiki page 😋

On that note, I'm gonna head off for the night. Sleep well everyone that's relevant to!

Oh okay

deep pivot
#

Goodnight!

vast junco

gnight!

dense torrent
#

Night!

deep pivot
#

Hug Hypnos for us!

#

So Aphrodite doesn't say anything of the sort in her Duo conversations?

#

Nothing about "My sister Athena" or anything at all?

#

Hm... that's weird thanthink

narrow hemlock
#

ares was imprisoned for 13 months in a bronze jar by the aloadae giants. he had tried to stop them from storming olympus iirc? but they overtook him. like everything greek myth there are variants to this story as well but one of the more known ones is that hermes was told by the giants' stepmother ares's whereabouts and he saved him.

deep pivot
#

Isn't that nice of Hermes? Getting out of his courier services' way to help a relative in need squirtyay

vast junco
#

ares' greatest weakness: jar

narrow hemlock
#

i think he was bound or something as well lmao. either way he was considerably weakened by the time hermes found him and it would have been a death sentence if no one had come for him

deep pivot
#

Hey, Fox, if you could adopt one of the Greek gods from the game as a relative, who would you adopt and why?

vast junco
#

me fox or other fox?

deep pivot
#

Star Fox

#

(That means you)

vast junco
#

hmm, i know several others said artemis already but

manic bobcat
#

I already answered :D

vast junco
#

artemis would def be one of my main picks i think

#

i'd vibe with her i feel

deep pivot
#

Doggo said Dionysus can be their brother squirtnya

dense torrent
#

I think Athena because she's responsible

narrow hemlock
#

glancing around i dont see any of the olympians refer to aphrodite as anything beyond aphrodite, lady aphrodite or goddess aphrodite. id have to do a more thorough look later but i cant recall off the top of my head any instance where she was referred to as a sibling, half sibling or cousin like many of the others

manic bobcat
#

But Aphrodite does refer to other Olympians as her family

deep pivot
#

We have homework! To notice if anyone refers to her as something, blood-wise 😋

manic bobcat
#

I'm assuming that means relatives.

deep pivot
#

Yes.

#

Or if she refers to anyone as a relative.

narrow hemlock
#

yeah like I said I'd have to do a more thorough look later, it's like 3 in the morning as it is lol I was just checking through how the other olympians refer to her

deep pivot

Because that "?" is a bit unnerving failbag

omg, sleep

deep pivot
#

Go hug Hypnos 💤

narrow hemlock

it takes me a long while to fall asleep so hence why I'm still around failbag

deep pivot
#

How does Hypnos put everyone to sleep around the house, I wonder...

#

Hypnos yawns >>>everyone is asleep

narrow hemlock
#

in some descriptions in classical texts he used his wings but he doesn't have wings here

dense torrent
#

I mean that's the most effective way to do it

#

ONe and done

narrow hemlock
#

maybe he just snaps and everyone is down for the count lol

vast junco
#

slaps you with a wing and knocks you out cold

narrow hemlock
#

he had tiny lil head wings!

vast junco
#

a tiny gentle slap from his head wing

#

sends you into comfortable slumber

deep pivot
#

Knocking people out cold lol

vast junco
#

hypnos: incredibly chill except for when he puts you to sleep

dense torrent
#

Hypnos decks me to put me to sleep

narrow hemlock
#

I simply think thanatos and hypnos should both get their wings back bc that would be sexy and cool, wings are nice

vast junco
#

true

deep pivot
#

Thanatos gives me the impression he'd have dark wings while Hypnos would have white wings shadesmile

vast junco
#

i do at least appreciate the wings around that effect surrounding than when he enters a chamber

manic bobcat

What influenced the one winged look of the Furies?

bird wings, that's what he had in classical art

also you get the added dramatic aesthetic of him leaving behind feathers when he poofs

Yes, Thanatos is definitely the drama queen in the family.

dense torrent

He definately seems like the type to have that moody teen phase

vast junco

Hypnos would eventually have enough pillows to start a buisness

now he simply owns it

oh peach you gave me a cute thought and then it immediately went to angst, I made myself sad.

now I will inflict it on everyone. hypnos collecting his brother's loose feathers since than won't talk to him

granite ether
#

Chaos is a pretty great being ngl bittie3

topaz nimbus
#

I wish we could fish in Their realm

#

would be pretty interesting

dawn tangle
#

you can

#

it's just that is rare as hell

topaz nimbus
ancient frost
#

I fished 3 times in chaos with a total of 100 runs, very rare indeed

#

I wish we could fish in Their realm
@topaz nimbus why plural? Chaos is a single entity.

wicked grail
#

singular they

#

its a gender-neutral pronoun

#

as chaos is neither (both?) male or female

daring hull
#

i'd assume neither

#

i think gender happened after them xD

ancient frost
#

I wonder what gender will Supergiant give to Chaos in languages without gender neutral pronouns

daring hull
#

i hope they use neopronouns if they find fitting ones

wicked grail
#

in german theyll probably us "es" which is pronoun commonly used for objects

#

as the other 2 are gendered

#

or just refer to them by name

daring hull
#

there's some good neopronouns for german, tho idk about other languages

nimble ocean
#

now to think of it, i can't remember in my game version Chaos to be reffered by pronoun

daring hull
#

tho the name thing would probably be easiest

nimble ocean
#

there is a neutral one in this language, but most probably it's still "he", bc almost all nouns in my first language are gendered, even inanimated things and abstract concepts

#

like.. space is he, universe is she

#

nothing to do with actual gender identity

daring hull
#

yeah it's similar here, tho we have neutral objects as well

#

personally it would bother me if they used "it" in any language for them, but i doubt they will tbh

sage marten
#

I don’t think it would be so bad so long as they used it to draw the point of how alien chaos is
I still think their more humanoid form his him getting presentable so others won’t freak out when they see them

nimble ocean
#

that was an issue back when they tried to translate Detroit Become human.. in english many people referred to androids as "it", like it's an inanimate object, in my language that detail got lost..

daring hull
#

I don’t think it would be so bad so long as they used it to draw the point of how alien chaos is
I still think his more humanoid form his him getting presentable so others won’t freak out when they see him
they xD

sage marten
#

woops

#

Just woke up, brain’s at 50% capacity

daring hull
#

it's just something that would personally bother me bc i'm nb so like, representation is rare

nimble ocean
#

if someone would call a nonbinary person in my language, using neutral pronoun, it would sound like a straightforward insult

#

unfortunately

daring hull
#

yeah same in mine that's why neopronouns

ancient frost
#

Oh boy that's a lot of neopronouns

molten nymph
#

Oohh what's everyone's native language? And how many noun classes do you have?

ancient frost
#

French.
There are no gender neutral pronouns xd

daring hull
#

i'm german and we have three kinds of pronouns, basically he/she/it, but given recent law changes a neutral one should be considered soon

#

well and we also have a plural pronoun

brisk trail
#

Portuguese. No neutral pronouns either

nimble ocean
#

same here.. he/she/it/they (for many), and considering how poorly minorities are represented, there will be no neopronouns anytime soon.. i've never even heard unofficial ones

daring hull
#

tho i think this may need to move to off-topic

nimble ocean
#

yes

ancient frost
#

yes

molten nymph
#

Oh true lol

nimble ocean
#

moving back to recent topic though.. my friend said, she'd like to be Dio's niece, or Artemis' little sister

ancient frost
#

Ah yes, a drunk uncle

nimble ocean
#

like.. Artemis could be that kind of sister, who can protect from bullies, maybe even with force.. brother-like sister

#

they have something in common.. distant, like bows and wildlife..

wicked grail
#

i wanna go vibe with artemis, she seems like the god you're most likely to have a nice time with (sry dio but i dont take wine well)

nimble ocean
#

so, atm Artemis is most likely candidate to be someone's relative.. Dio gets silver..

#

guess, that makes sense, 'cause both are somehow differ from the rest of olympians.. they're somehow less fickle

molten nymph
#

Hermes is like a hyperactive younger brother though we can't forget him

topaz nimbus
#

Might be fun to have a run where you only get hermes boons

ancient frost
#

Gotta go fast

molten nymph
#

One of my favourite things to do right now is ramp up the speed on the twin fists to see how fast Zag can punch. Add Athena deflect for an (almost) Impenetrable Wall of Pain

ancient frost
#

I wonder how fast the sword can get with flurry slash and Hermes boons

#

Using aspect of nemesis and deadly strike

charred bronze
#

I have try that, it blends things that don't move much like hydra

Hi guys. I've had like 15 attempts to escape but still couldn't beat the second boss. Is this normal or am I playing not good enough ?

daring hull
#

fifteen attempts and you already faced the second boss? i personally thing that's pretty good

#

the first few runs are mostly to get a feel for it and gather some basic resources

manic bobcat
#

It's normal. Play at your own pace.

daring hull
#

plus, if you ever feel like it's too hard or that you're not making any progress, god mode gives damage resistence and can help you out

I don't excatly know what to say but thank you all. I'll keep playing to enjoy :)

you do you buddy! the only thing you should have with games is fun ^w^

@brisk trail as you play you will gather more resources that will make you stronger still and help you on for fights and while doing that you also get some practice at learning the patterns that the bosses attack so you will be able to get to the end in no time just take your time and have fun!

brisk trail

@thin ibex so it's basicly git gut and die xD Thanks btw I'm sure as Hades that I'll have some fun!

boreal pulsar

wonder what the divide of people who play with keyboard/mouse vs. controller are

jolly lodge
#

I'm sure that the majority prefer controller

#

(biased)

sage marten
#

the divide is between objectively right people and people who use controllers

floral shore
#

I don't even have a controller, so KB/M it is.

boreal pulsar
#

yeah i play kb/m and feel like i'm doing something wrong LOL

jolly lodge
#

lol

karmic maple
#

do different sources of hangover stack?

cobalt kettle
#

I just generally default to m&k since I'm more accustomed to it

#

no, they overlap TTD

boreal pulsar
#

feel like i'm beating the hell out of the mouse too

steady lantern
#

I use kb/m, it just feels better than controller for me

cobalt kettle
#

each stack can be from a different source, but the max remains the same

jolly lodge
#

kbm does allow much better aiming, and you can have aiming strategies rather than pray to the auto-snap

karmic maple
#

so is just the 5 best hangover stacks?

cobalt kettle
#

if a new stack is applied from any source, it replaces the oldest - which can be from any other source

karmic maple
#

oh ok

steady lantern
#

So yeah, having 2 sources of hangover kinda sucks

karmic maple
#

so it's the 5 most recent stacks

#

damn, that's lame

narrow hemlock
#

I play most steam games via controller unless it's like board games or smth but I do have exceptions like assassins creed where I actually prefer kbm. I play hades via controller though. it's more noticeable who prefers one or the other when it comes to weps like rail

karmic maple
#

thanks for answering

jolly lodge
#

I prefer controller because I like the feel of it

low fiber
#

i started mnk and switched to controller because heightened security

manic bobcat
#

Take it from me

#

I'm very partial to MKB on most games

steady lantern
#

it's weird to say, but even if the feeling with controller is better, I'm better with kb/m, idk why

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

cobalt kettle
#

Also, on an unrelated note, I caught a bug with a screenshot, but didn't realize f10 saved the current screen. Is there a way to attach a different screenshot to a bug report or am I SOL?

manic bobcat
#

But controller on Hades to too good to pass

low fiber
#

360 degrees of movement freedom + aim assist over mouse aim

#

@cobalt kettle you should be able to change it in menu

tender crown
#

KBM feels so weird

cobalt kettle
#

which part of the menu?

narrow hemlock
#

this is just my own personal observation based on commentary here and on steam boards but I mention it's more noticeable with rail bc more people who play controller find rail to be lacking, while more who play kbm find it their experience quite different. but again that's my own observation

cobalt kettle
#

Oh, do I have to literally save an image to my pc and link the file?

low fiber
#

i liked rail more on controller than mnk, tbh

#

but i don't use the special that often

narrow hemlock
#

honestly rail is my weakest weapon

tender crown
#

I tried a single run with KBM and instantly switched to controller

#

Rail might just be my strongest

#

Since I don't have upgraded aspects yet

cobalt kettle
#

personally, I'm just so accustomed to m&k that I can be a lot more precise in dodging with it

narrow hemlock
#

a lot of the high heat runs I see uploaded to yt are rail kbm too

low fiber
#

that's interesting since most of the high rail ones i've seen are controller

cobalt kettle
#

whenever I try to play say Isaac with controller, I die way more often cause the stick just feels weird to me

manic bobcat
#

Bow 46 and 47 heat are done on Pad

narrow hemlock
#

yeah like I said it's just my own observation from what I've seen. obvs it's subjective

low fiber
#

only shield 46 is mnk

manic bobcat
#

Mnk = many naked Krashercorr?

maybe i should make a column for that

quarantine, baby

manic bobcat

Lol true

sage marten
#

Yeah the ranged weapons are the hardest to get used to

narrow hemlock
#

I actually enjoy bow, it's just rail that I can never find a comfortable setup with

boreal pulsar
#

i guess the controller people are mostly those who have used controllers their whole life

manic bobcat
#

Not me

boreal pulsar
#

don't think i could ever get used to a controller, too much mouse

I suck at controller. RTS player since the dawn of time

Also we are using anecdotes

#

it's all preference

The sample size is 5

Never had the money to buy a good pc

manic bobcat

I don't think there is a competitive edge between MKB or Gamepad

Bow feels great on kb/m

boreal pulsar
#

wouldn't think there would be either, but interesting to see what people prefer

#

glad to see i'm not doing it wrong playing kb/m

low fiber
#

bow does feel great on mnk

#

the game is well optimized for input set ups

cobalt kettle
#

You're never wrong playing with a certain input, it falls down to if that's the best setup for you

manic bobcat
#

For me?

cobalt kettle
#

hell, if the best way for you to play is mapping attack and special to a set of bongos, and dodge to a gas pedal, you do you

There was this dude who beat Dark souls 3 using bananas

manic bobcat

I'm sure if Hades gets popular enough

Reminds me of the various people that played Overwatch on crazy random things. Widowmaker with a baguette and all that stuff.

manic bobcat
#

People will beat the game with weird controller

#

Like how they do it as a meme in Dark Soul

tender crown
#

Maybe the game is too fast paced for it

#

Nobody will ever beat the dude who beat DS3 with bananas

cobalt kettle
#

never underestimate the dedication of people on the internet

sinful star
#

I dunno, there's the guy who plays in fighting game tournaments with a steering wheel.

#

And does pretty darn well, apparently.

manic bobcat
#

Imagine being beat by a dude using a driving wheel at a tournament

floral shore
#

That's insult to injury.

Odds of the blood price update getting delayed
Hopefully it was already planned for mid to late june to avoid it getting pushed even further 😭

narrow hemlock
#

do wish discord would provide a preview of the message being linked but as of last week the update is still proceeding as planned

sage marten
#

what if the delay was already planned

#

the blood price delay was an inside job

narrow hemlock
#

well i think it best we not spread assumptions about delays unless theres been official word of one, so we dont confuse people....

Thanks for the link

This is a fun game

Hello everyone! squirtnya
I recently met with one ... bug?
When I took the bow with the aspect of Hera, I collected in Cast. I took Cast Dionysus and later paired improvement with Zeus, and then, when I charged Cast in the bow and shot, for some reason one shell exploded beneath me. Is this a bug or what? The fact is that this happened very rarely, but I watched it with myself and my friend.

#

Or maybe I'm missing something? Or dont know 🙂

void vigil
#

bugs can be reported with F10 in-game f10

past rune
#

Honestly all I want for the 4th bow aspect is a mix of the blocking of Charged Shot shield and the damage radius of ||Guan Yu|| spear special

crimson void
#

A shieldbow would be cool. I think that instead, though, the main attack will fire homing arrows at targets, acquiring more targets the longer it's held down

#

Source: wild guessing

past rune
#

Charged Shot is always fun, it's just very very slow

patent topaz
#

ook, i made it to redacted, now let's see how many attempts it will take me to beat them down
Also Temple of Styx is disgusting and i love it, what i don't love is the satyrs and the motherflopping poison

past rune
#

Consider picking up Patroclus' keepsake for styx

#

It helps with both styx and redacted

obsidian pulsar
#

Yeah, Patroclus and Euridyce keepsakes are both good for the last area depending on what you struggle with

patent topaz
#

ok 👍 i want the spear to reach two stars so i was gonna use it anyway
Also i just used the blood for Hestia's aspect, i find it cool

cobalt kettle
#

Patrocles is reaaally good, I just ran it to help me while trying guan yu for the first time and it was a major help

#

although, side note, I hate that there's a couple of frames after using a call where you can't act but enemies can hit you

#

cause it got me killed against redacted ;-;

sage marten
#

yeah, the boomer doomer is our lord and savior
the redeemer of doomed runs

desert lark
#

Is there a fishing bug ? I find only the same spots in the first and last level

limpid crown
#

are the guan yu aspects all released? I just have the spear for now

terse geyser
#

Is there a fishing bug ? I find only the same spots in the first and last level
@desert lark No, there just isn't very much variance either

#

@limpid crown there are two secret aspects currently in the game

cobalt kettle
#

Yeah, I was using the spear

#

mr. final boss charged up an attack right as I hit call, and there was a delay before I could actually dash out of the way, and it killed me

#

not the first time I've taken damage right as the call animation finished, and it irks me every time

charred bronze
#

i wonder if they would/could add another weapon

#

maybe a hammer with tremor attacks and heavy knock away effects

narrow hemlock
#

i think 6 is all that was planned for 1.0 but you never know beyond that

sage marten
#

wouldn't be surprised if they added either a weapon or something else entirely, there's a conspicuously empty spot next to Exagryph

tender crown
#

I'd be very happy with a new weapon yes indeed

sage marten
#

kinda sad how sketch-y cerberus' ball looks ngl

tender crown
#

I have no idea what you're talking about

sage marten
#

haven't you bought that from the contractor?

The Ball Major Update

sage marten
#

Turns out we’re chasing ||persephone|| because she took the only good ball the House had when she left

dense torrent
#

Turns out everything was for Cerberus this whole time

calm laurel
#

What a twist

molten nymph
#

If the last update just let you play fetch with Cerberus I would not be complaining

dense torrent
#

There doesn't even need to be anything else in the game

dusty ledge
#

True shot, does it provide a 10% increase for it's damage for any damage done while the enemy has the mark?

past rune
#

The 10% crit damage on true shot only applies to true shot

#

If you're referring to boiling blood, it applies to attack and special damage done to an enemy with bloodstones in them

dusty ledge
#

thanks @past rune

amber moss
#

is hades good?

#

what's the gameplay like?

manic bobcat
#

is there a particular thing you would like to know?

#

since you are asking a Hades Discord, of course we are going to recommend it.

#

but I can go into some specific details if you are interested.

dusty ledge
#

@amber moss I had my doubts, but it's amazing.

amber moss
#

is it a very grindy game?

dusty ledge
#

I love roguelike games that each run you're a little bit stronger

amber moss
#

ahhh

flat vapor
#

ish

amber moss
#

i see

#

I'm just really into Greek mythology so I thought it looked really cool

dusty ledge
#

there are so many combinations of weapons, upgrade, that makes each run feel different

flat vapor
#

you gain resources naturally, you generally don't need to go out of your way to grind

manic bobcat
#

is it a very grindy game?
yes and no. For pure gameplay purposes, it's not grindy

#

for completionist purposes, yeah it's super grindy

flat vapor
#

you can, if you want to, but you don't absolutely need to

amber moss
#

ahh

manic bobcat
#

basically you have bunch of comestic stuff locked behind a rather large grind wall

#

but for combat and "tech trees", weapons, etc.

#

it's not that grindy, at least not as bad as many other games I have played

flat vapor
#

advice, if you do get it

#

dying is okay

amber moss
#

is there like a penalty or something

manic bobcat
#

nope

flat vapor
#

don't place as much importance on dying as you would any other game

manic bobcat
#

actually dying is how you progress the story

flat vapor
#

^

amber moss
#

like literally?

manic bobcat
#

yes

amber moss
#

oh haha

flat vapor
#

as a roguelike, dying is expected and part of the experience

dusty ledge
#

yes :d

amber moss
#

ahh

flat vapor
#

like binding of issac

amber moss
#

I'm a bit new to roguelike games

dusty ledge
#

SPOILERS: ||even finishing it is dying||

flat vapor
#

the whole point of BoI is to die and play again

manic bobcat
#

I think Hades is a good entry to roguelike games

#

And I do play a decent amount of that myself

#

Of course, there is also a 2 hour period on Steam

#

if you absolutely hate it, you can get a refund.

flat vapor
#

as for the gameplay itself, very smooth and fluid

amber moss
#

i don't think I'd refund it, it looks great

#

I was thinking of getting on the epic launcher since it was on sale there

manic bobcat
#

I see

flat vapor
#

a lot of complexity that gets more complex as it goes on, and supports a lot of different playstyles

manic bobcat
#

fwiw, I sunk 48 hours into the game in the first week

amber moss
#

like weapon classes or more ability leaning?

#

what about in total?

manic bobcat
#

you play as one character, Zagreus

flat vapor
#

uh... kinda both

manic bobcat
#

you can use different weapons, each weapons can have "sub-class"

flat vapor
#

the weapons in this game are more akin to classes in other games

manic bobcat
#

so in some sense there are classes, or even sub classes, just different names

amber moss
#

ahh

flat vapor
#

you'd get what we mean in its entirety if you buy it dusa

amber moss
#

yesyes

#

it sounds awesome

#

thanks for your help

this review came out dec 2018 so a lot of visual things like ui and stuff are outdated (also only 3 weps existed lol) and have since changed but much of this review still holds up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbiEbGyQVVU

Hades is an early access roguelite developed by Supergiant Games. This is probably one of the greatest early access builds I've ever played. Tight combat, interesting dialogue and story progression, and stunning visuals. Just about everything you could want, really.

MUSIC: Ha...

narrow hemlock
#

a year and a half!

amber moss
#

will do

#

yesyes oopsie

flat vapor
#

also if you like stories and great characters, this game has loads and loads and loads

amber moss
#

do you know when the updates will end?

narrow hemlock
#

theres an update scheduled for this month

#

and theyre aiming for 1.0 this year some time

flat vapor
#

v1.0 is sometime later this year

narrow hemlock
#

based on how far along the game is so far i would think we're like 2-3 updates out from 1.0 maybe? 🤔 but thats 100% speculation and not factual in the least

hollow heron
#

Whoa it's been that long since first release
