[worn radish]

i cant figure out if this is because i keep trying new weapons

or because things are somehow tougher

serton guy with an oar killed me 3 times

certain guy iwht an oar

[fading gazelle]

I am datying like a lot more
@worn radish Nice name you got there

[worn radish]

and yesterday i havent died once to him

not sure

[safe yoke]

i only take what where i get more darkness out of cause im a penny pincher like that. also i kinda forces you to try new weapons and thats actually a really cool incentive

[worn radish]

seems like dodging is harder somehow

[safe yoke]

and good on supergiant for making Sisyphus such a nice character cause if you read anything about him oh boy is he a butt

a BIG butt

like BOI

[hollow hazel]

Artemis is my fave. Followed by Dionysus, then Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares is pretty cool (even if his boons could be better), Zeus is probably about the same, then Demeter, and then Athena, and then Poseidon.

that's my rankings.

[safe yoke]

Dusa. followed by Dusa again, then everyone else can all in place where ever they feel like

[jade grove]

Well

Sisyphus' former character is a big deal in his story arc

keep playing and you'll see how it's handled

[safe yoke]

sir you had my interest now you have my attention

good boy rockboi getting a character arc. alrighty.

so far all ive seen happen is everyne being mean to him from magera and others.

[vague frigate]

is it possible to use my hades save on a second steam account or is it ID locked? does anyone know or have tried?\

[analog fog]

is demeter already in the game?

[chilly stump]

@analog fog She is!

@vague frigate Hades saves can be shared across Steam accounts, as far as I'm aware. Hades automatically reads the saves on your system. If your saves are only in Steam's cloud save, it won't pick it up, but if you have the files on the computer it should read them automatically. 👍

[vague frigate]

thank you, i was thinking of buying it on my second steam account, i just didn't want to replay 200 hours!

[chilly stump]

Entirely understandable. 😄

[fading gazelle]

I mean it was on every run for me but that was during the beta

[narrow hemlock]

it doesn't appear on every run. and only mid-biome shops, not the ones right before boss. also maybe mention of that boss should be spoilered since this isn't the spoiler channel

[nocturne scroll]

F

i deleted potential spoilers

[sand stump]

hello

[fading gazelle]

Hiya!

[sand stump]

for some reason, my Rail Special doesnt show the target

[fading gazelle]

Did you try ing that?

By target I assume you mean the giant marker that shows where the special drops?

[narrow hemlock]

@nocturne scroll You could have just edit rofl 😅

[sand stump]

how to I put a screenshot here?

[narrow hemlock]

upload elsewhere and link

[sand stump]

https://ibb.co/LzngdLD

oh ok

thanks guy

[fading gazelle]

No problem my dude

Have a nice day/night!

[sand stump]

I just thought the new update change the Rail special

[hollow hazel]

Lernie is my soulmate.

[sand stump]

he have many form now

[hollow hazel]

Unrelated to what was being talked about, but I just had to get it out there

[sand stump]

it was refeshing haha

[hollow hazel]

Yeah, I originally just thought it was like, aesthetic, a design choice, I think I only JUST made the connection about the different things when I saw him just now lol

Admittedly I've only done three runs since the update so I'm lacking a lot of information lol

[sand stump]

I keep reading meme about the dangerous shopkeeper

[hollow hazel]

Oh wow, I just did 1356 damage with a single shot from the bow.

[sand stump]

Havent been about to recreate that

[hollow hazel]

Neither have I lol

That's what I like about the bow, is that the damage out put can get out of hand and be crazy good.

[sand stump]

I cant seem to get the bow

The starting time for each shoot feel too sluggish

[fading gazelle]

That's what I like about the bow, is that the damage out put can get out of hand and be crazy good.
@hollow hazel Wait till you get the aspect of TRUCK

[hollow hazel]

I have the new aspect lol, if that's what you mean.

[narrow hemlock]

not everyone knows the meme aspect lingo around here haha

[fading gazelle]

That's the best part

They don't know

So when they do get it

It's beautiful

And they shall laugh for attempts to come

[hollow hazel]

Like, I do nearly 200 with a barely charged shot lol. that's crazy when I can just dodge shoot dodge shoot rinse and repeat, and it has added range, so rarely am I too far away to hit something.

[fading gazelle]

Try a certain sword aspect

You'll find the damage MASSIVE

[narrow hemlock]

eh I still don't care for it personally, but the playstyle just doesn't jive for me

[sand stump]

Have the sword special always “cancelable”?

[fading gazelle]

eh I still don't care for it personally, but the playstyle just doesn't jive for me
Its a nice change of pace, I agree, Nemesis holds up in higher heat for me

Have the sword special always “cancelable”?
No...?

[hollow hazel]

I have all the sword aspects as well, and they can do reasonably good damage, a bit slow for me though. I know a lot of people aren't huge fans of the bow because you can't hit multiple targets as well, but I actually enjoy it. I don't think it's good for goign fast, but maybe I could be using it better lol

[sand stump]

No...?
I mean like if you press Special, you have to give it like half a second to exxecute

[flat vapor]

you can

[sand stump]

if you hit attack too fast, it cancel the special

[flat vapor]

attacking while in the middle of the special will cancel it

er, before the special goes off but after the button is pressed

[sand stump]

Just that i didn’t remember it the last time i play, which was a few months ago

[flat vapor]

you can dash after the special is pressed though, which is fun

[sand stump]

Anyone know the total number of Titan blood require to fully upgrade your weeapon?

[flat vapor]

Totals for each aspect:
Zag - 5 (1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 1)
2nd - 15 (1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5)
3rd - 16 (2 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5)
4th - 15 (3 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 3)

[sand stump]

That would be 51

Quite a lot then

[light shadow]

why are all hidden aspects all about being slow

[clever solstice]

not including the shop, and assuming you clear each heat level systematically with every weapon, that would take up to roughly 9 heat to get all that titan blood

[sand stump]

51 for each weapon, meaning 306 for all of then

[clever solstice]

i wasnt counting the original, thought you counted for all of them

so thats like 45ish heat

[flat vapor]

on v1.0 yes, but currently fists' 4th isn't available

[clever solstice]

which is impossible im pretty sure

guess thats why the shop is there

[light shadow]

there will be an incremental game within the game

where you can farm resources

[sand stump]

If you clear heat 1 , but not heat 0 for a weapon

Can you go back to get that Titan blood from Hades ?

[flat vapor]

yes, just set the heat to 0

[sand stump]

Oh that is nice

[hollow hazel]

Wow, I have over 400 max HP this run lol

[crimson canopy]

@rough token re: your skelly keepsake feedback suggesting ||its defiance proccing before others||, feel like that would make it much less worth bringing if using ||stubborn defiance|| mirror upgrade

[rough token]

Ah, a good point. As is, it is less worth with || Death Defiance ||. So maybe before with || Death ||, and after with || Stubborn ||?

[sand stump]

I would agree with ||the tooth proc first||

[crimson canopy]

Out of curiosity why is it bad as is? Haven't really thought about it but it's just ||another 100 hp/life|| no?

[rough token]

It's not bad, but it || triggers after Death Defiances, which means it could very likely not be used ||

[sand stump]

It is mostly for the new game guy who have ||only 1 DD||

[rough token]

Nah, I've used it a few times recently--hence why I brought up the feedback

And I'm definitely not the new guy with || only 1 DD ||

[river walrus]

I'm rather fond of the keepsake myself.

I usually pick it up for the last stretch

and its def responsible for my first few wins!

[crimson canopy]

Hmm - still not seeing why the order matters for normal DDs . It's true you might never use it but seems like the point is to add that ||extra life buffer in addition to any mirror DDs||

[rough token]

Because if I'm choosing to bring it, I'd like || to have that buffer first, instead of doing nothing ||

[crimson canopy]

Ohh I see now, because you can ||swap it if it gets used and keep your other DDs|| - now I see why it'd be useful to have first.

[rough token]

yup

[chilly stump]

Hey all! If you're worried about spoilers, you're welcome to talk about gameplay aspects in-depth and spoilers-welcome in #h1-builds-and-combat

And thank you for spoilering so diligently!

[rough token]

ah, fair enough o7

updated my feedback, btw

[hollow hazel]

Those pots and those lasers combo so well against Zag. Can easily do like, 60-90 damage if you miscalculate.

[rough token]

discussions about fights should go in #h1-builds-and-combat

[wanton goblet]

I love how Hermes comments on you enabling/disabling the timer in the settings.
Asks if disabling the timer is a cry for help 😁

Quite meta but very funny

Also, loving the way all the characters are portrayed. Beautiful in every way.

[hollow hazel]

Yeah, the style of the game is beautiful, honestly never seen anything like it, and it's sort of just fits, with the aesthetic.

[crimson canopy]

Help I have 300+ screenshots because I love so many dialogue lines/conversations

[flat vapor]

in this household we love jen zee

[alpine silo]

Is there any decent guide on Rail Legendary Aspect? I can’t use it properly

[flat vapor]

i've heard good things with zeus attack

[fast marlin]

The style is good but not perfect imo

[hollow heron]

ares attack + stacking doom is really good

[fast marlin]

My one particular gripe is that the blending of 3D models with the handrawn needs work, for Zagreus at least

[alpine silo]

The rail always good with Zeus Attack

[steady lantern]

Get zeus, win

[fast marlin]

Other than that

It feels so Greek Myth for some reason

[crimson canopy]

I'll tell you one thing that doesn't work - frickin ||big AOE self damage|| hammer -_-

[fast marlin]

Which is awesome

[rough token]

Nah, I like that one

it's just tricky to use

[alpine silo]

I'll tell you one thing that doesn't work - frickin ||big AOE self damage|| hammer -_-
@crimson canopy Really? I think it’s quite nice

[hollow heron]

yeah don't use that one on L

no visible aoe

[rough token]

uhh

that was my first win with L

which was also my first run with L

using that hammer

it's definitely tricky to use though

[crimson canopy]

lol I'm salty because I got to final boss with a pretty crappy build and gambled on the ||anvil|| then lost . Maybe if I had a lot more time to get used to the range but probably did as much damage to myself as the boss did

[hollow heron]

i also won with it on L, but i got it from hammer lottery

[alpine silo]

I can’t reliably activate the Special with L

[rough token]

I started with it, so I had time to practice

[alpine silo]

That’s my biggest problem

[rough token]

I still finished with 3 HP

[crimson canopy]

Drake if you're using controller I've heard some feedback that it doesn't really autoaim at the special at all

IMO it just feels so slow to set up

[rough token]

I'm actually gonna get off now, cy'all ^.^

[alpine silo]

Yep

Controller here

[crimson canopy]

Haha you have an excuse, I'm just bad with the aspect apparently

[alpine silo]

It’s very slow setup

But all you have to do is setting up trap

Especially with Athena Boon

[quasi pebble]

Hi everyone. Today is a good day because we managed to solve the problem of game smoothness and black screen. Great respect for Supergiant Games for a good job and what I can finally play normally.

[alpine silo]

You essentially have a shield to protect against projectile

[hollow heron]

A. spoiler tag the aspect name, or move to a gameplay channel
B. no afaik

[cold mantle]

I have a question. If the highest heat level I played till yet was 10 and I would go up 15, can I get for example titan blood 5 times by the sisters or do I have to play on level 14 then?

[sand stump]

Only 1 i think

Still have to go for that 14

[deep pivot]

No. You will only get the rewards from your the highest Heat level ||(so 1 Titan Blood - 1 Diamond -1 Ambrosia - 1 Titan Blood)||

[cold mantle]

Ah well, oof. But thanks for the quick answer :)

[sand stump]

That last aspect of fist

[crimson canopy]

@cold mantle I believe if you're over your highest heat at all the game treats it the same rewards-wise but I don't think you need to go back down at all. For example, I cleared a 5 heat run and then cleared 2 7 heat runs and those gave me new rewards (i.e. didn't have to do a 6 heat run)

[sand stump]

For some reason I want it to represent Asia culture

Maybe aspect of Buddha

[crimson canopy]

I know very little about Buddha but isn't non-violence an important part of Buddhism?

[sand stump]

There are many Buddha in Buddhism, the original one (Gautama Buddha) is just one of them

Therefore there are buddha who fight evil , like Sun Wukong was named “Victorious fighting Buddha” after ascended to Buddhahood

[crimson canopy]

Oh interesting, that sounds like it could be pretty cool!

[sand stump]

I havent unlock the full game, but || Rama|| is the only Asian Entity right?

[flat vapor]

||guan yu|| is from china

[sand stump]

Oh true that, he is also regard as || God of war||

[buoyant merlin]

Latest update wants me to do a first time install for some reason? Been playing the beta and then the normal game yesterday

nvm works now

[safe sand]

Have fixed a bug that did not allow blocking damage with a new shield?

[alpine silo]

Is there any purpose to the Administrative Room? Other than to see your stat, that is

[sharp parcel]

nope

[rough token]

Well...a little bit

That's into #h1-story-discussion though

[alpine silo]

Okay, thanks

[fading gazelle]

@halcyon void Did you try ?

I recall someone had a similar problem

[rough token]

(what was that in reference to?)

[fading gazelle]

https://discordapp.com/channels/456889434672201729/525022184280948736/725642875496562768

[rough token]

Ah, right

o7

[hollow hazel]

So uh... probably ran into a bug in the game, or presumably a bug. I don't see how it could be a mechanic, already reported using the F10 feature, but for everyone, beware when using the new shield aspect and Hunter's Flare with bloodstones.

[jade grove]

Why so, what does it do

[halcyon void]

No, I didn't think it would be clear what was happening from the screenshot. Guess I might might as well go ahead and f10 it just in case.

[rough token]

You can annotate the screenshot

To add details

[hollow hazel]

Seems to make you drop a second bloodstone when charging your bull rush with bloodstones

Like, it'll charge your shield and then drop another of your bloodstones that you'll then have to pick up to use.

[rough token]

Huh, something similar happened with Dio's flare earlier in the beta, but that got fixed

[crisp spruce]

apparently I cant call Perseus a male genital in this server 😦

[rough token]

Nope

#readme-first mentions keeping it clean

[hollow hazel]

Figured I'd at least mention it here as a warning for anyone who might accidentally grab it. It's entirely possible it's due to a mixture of two boons, but what triggered it for me is purchasing it from charon on the temple of styx, and prior to doing that my Bull rush Bloodstone charge was working fine. Time to take on [REDACTED] with this bug, I'll let you know if I succeed

[rough token]

Ayy, name in spoiler tags or say Redacted

@hollow hazel

Thanks ^.^

[hollow hazel]

Yep, thanks for letting me know.

[rough token]

Hahaha o7

Sure thing

Best of luck though!

[hollow hazel]

I was shocked from the bug, so I let my guard down lol, I had been trying my hardest not to spoil anything for anyone here. Lol

Okay, so I went into the boss room to take on [REDACTED] and the bug no longer occurred, so it might be less of a problem than previously expected. It might be due to swapping out some form of bloodstone boon for another with the new shield aspect, only a guess though

[rough token]

Okay interesting

Because same thing happened with the Dio bug

In the next room it was gone

[hollow hazel]

Well, it's nice to know about anyway, too bad I can't add it to my bug report for more context lol

[eternal umbra]

Maybe this is on me, because I haven't played for quite a while now, but did the aim assist on Coronacht become kinda weird?

[hollow hazel]

What does "Farthest Chamber Reached: ##" mean, when looking out from skelly's area right before starting a run?

[fading gazelle]

Its... self explanatory...

The furthest is always going to be 68

Missed 69 smh

[hollow hazel]

For me the number IS 69 though

[fading gazelle]

Oh wait what

Nani nani

Tell me how

HOW

HOW DO I ACHEVE GREATNESS

[past mirage]

More or less what it says: How far your best escape attempt went. There is a potential to get bonus chambers, if you take a chaos or infernal gate in the second to last chamber before a boss.

[hollow hazel]

That's why I was asking LOL It seemed weird to end on such an odd number. I thought it might be like a specific number, but 69 seemed to convenient, I was thinking, "does it really stop on 69 and not on an even number like 70?" lol

I was thinking maybe the final boss room counted and that made it odd, but I knew there was the same amount of chambers per floor, so I wasn't sure.

[fading gazelle]

I need to work harder

I need to acheive greatness

[hearty torrent]

My Farthest Reached is 70. It depends on how many bonus chambers you get in, like letran said.

[placid breach]

I saw a Youtuber play Hades w PS4 controls; is there a setting for this? If so I can't seem to find it

[sand stump]

Getting ||legendary boons||

Is it more luck or more planning?

[abstract fable]

my furthest is 71

no idea how

@sand stump there is a mirror talent that slightly increases the chance, also god keepsakes

[sand stump]

So both luck and prep i think

[past mirage]

Also, legendary and duo boons have prerequisites of varying difficulty. Some of them can be gleaned from online resources, but especially the new stuff hasn't been put into neat graphics yet.

The ability to reroll is key if you hunt for a specific boon, but no guarantees.

[fading gazelle]

@sand stump If you want I can send images for each boon tree

I forget who made them but props to them

It was one of the mods I think?

[sand stump]

I would love to

[fading gazelle]

https://discordapp.com/channels/456889434672201729/525022184280948736/725673726653497394
@high island Why do think this isn't that great of an idea?

[high island]

@placid breach using a DS4 with Steam should automatically change the button prompts to DS4 buttons. No idea about Epic. If that's not working for you, try asking for help in #h1-tech-support.

I disagree that it's tedious, and I choose my keepsakes on the fly during a run depending on need.

[agile saddle]

are we allowed to talk about the update in discussion yet?

[fading gazelle]

But of course

Just keep the new boss and aspects spoilered

[agile saddle]

Just wanna say how busted the new elite mini bosses in Tarturus are. It's the first area like wtf

[sleek raptor]

Can someone explain to me how to get the Lucifer aspect I maxed out Zeus gifts

[high island]

Spoiler tag new aspects. Also, you can check the pinned messages in #h1-story-discussion for that.

[knotty marten]

it's just random chance to get the right conversation with the right god when you get their boon

[sharp meteor]

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I've been playing my furthest save after the new update, and Orpheus hasn't been appearing in his seat at all, despite me having unlocked the "Court Musician's Sentence" and purchased it at the Contractor. Is there something I missed after the update that made him not appear? lol

[boreal fiber]

Any idea what the most recent mini patch fixed?

[fading gazelle]

it's just random chance to get the right conversation with the right god when you get their boon
@knotty marten Yes

[high island]

@sharp meteor you probably just need to do more runs.

[patent topaz]

Any idea what the most recent mini patch fixed?
@boreal fiber i heard it was for some crashes, they usually release patch notes when it's more than that and we need to know

[sharp meteor]

I'm already through about fifteen since the update, I think. xD

[fading gazelle]

Do you mean the contract to get him or the one that ||lets him see eurydice||?

[sharp meteor]

The contract to get him.

[fading gazelle]

Ah then just give it a few runs

[high island]

Hmm. He showed up sooner than that on my new Hell mode save.

[fading gazelle]

The distribution of events is really weird

[sharp meteor]

Well I've unlocked him and interacted with him before the update, but when it updated, he vanished entirely and hasn't come back

[high island]

Did you clear your runs? Maybe it's related to how far you make it. Beyond that it's probably just RNG.

[fading gazelle]

It took me a while to unlock the new events for ||Sans|| event though I had everything for it

[sharp meteor]

He's been here, and I've even got the stuff he can give, but just pewf. Gone. lol

[fading gazelle]

The occurrence of events is one thing that we don't know how its determined

[high island]

Oh. Hmm. No idea. He doesn't always show up. But if you think something is wrong, report it with F10, and you can ask for help in #h1-tech-support, too.

15 runs without seeing him once sounds like a lot.

[fading gazelle]

True

[sharp meteor]

Yeah, I've been meaning to see what else he has to say after the update, but he's just not showing up, so it's really frustrating. And without him showing up, I'm afraid to do the next step in the contractor for him.

[fading gazelle]

But I went through 21 runs before ||Sans|| even let me finish his bond

[vague zinc]

How to get the new fated list? Just do runs?

[fading gazelle]

New fated list as in?

There are a few pre-requisites for each thing on the list

[vague zinc]

Like the one where poseidon ask you to defeat theseus

[sand stump]

Who is ||sans||?

[high island]

Perhaps he's not supposed to show up until you take the next step for him?

[sand stump]

I know ||Thans||

[fading gazelle]

@sand stump Its a double spoiler for those who don't know who ||Sans|| is

If you know you know

[torn pawn]

Do you guys recommend any Youtubers or Streamers to watch if I want to improve at the game?

[sharp meteor]

Submitted a bug report, somehow forgot I could do that. lol

[sand stump]

I know ||Sans|| as in ||Undertale||

[safe yoke]

yall cant be disrespecting skully like that

[fading gazelle]

Nah I be talking bout another boney boy in hades

[safe yoke]

another boney boi

[fading gazelle]

Do you guys recommend any Youtubers or Streamers to watch if I want to improve at the game?
You should try spending some time in #h1-builds-and-combat . I learnt A LOT from there

[safe yoke]

is it post final boss ||if hades even is the final boss|| content?

[torn pawn]

You should try spending some time in #h1-builds-and-combat . I learnt A LOT from there
@fading gazelle Ill try that.

[safe yoke]

tbh i jsut wanan know where these 3 hidden boss fights are. im trying to finish these minor prophecies

[fading gazelle]

tbh i jsut wanan know where these 3 hidden boss fights are. im trying to finish these minor prophecies
@safe yoke ||There are 3 new minibosses in Tartarus and 1 in Asphodel||

[safe yoke]

@fading gazelle ||in tatar sauce ive fought the bouncing bomb boys, mega crystal, and the assassin wizard. in lava land so far all ive found was the freakin mega gorgon and thwomp||

[undone portal]

I can't see the target mark of the special of Exagryph since today. Am I the only one ?

[safe yoke]

question. are we ever gonna get outfit cosmetics?

i wouldnt mind looking like the guy from bastion, or the chick from transistor, or whoever is the main character from pyre since i have yet to play that game i will but sadly hades has taken up all my time.

also what are the locked boxes for in the trinket case. ive unlocked all trinkets but those big boxes are still locked

[daring hull]

skins won't be a thing bc of the way it's animated

the other keepsakes are ||companions, you'll get them from some of the characters who's hearts you can unlock||

[fading gazelle]

@fading gazelle ||in tatar sauce ive fought the bouncing bomb boys, mega crystal, and the assassin wizard. in lava land so far all ive found was the freakin mega gorgon and thwomp||
@safe yoke ||We have Bomb boys, Wave Boys, MegaStone, Magic Assassin in tartarus and Power couple, Death Boat and witches in Asphodel. Sorry there are two new ones in Tartarus||

[safe yoke]

oh yeah i forgot about ||wave boys|| havent seen them in a min. but ive fought all those are there newer ones in ||Elysium|| other than the ||Megabutterfly orb|| and the ||Minotaur||?

[fading gazelle]

Yeah there are only new ones in Tartarus and Asphodel

[sand stump]

I still haven’t got to fight ||Charon||

How to unlock him?

[safe yoke]

me neither. i heard ||theres sometimes an item behind him you can steal? and that triggers a fight against him||

[sand stump]

I thought it was like ||Kecleon in Mystery dungeon||

[fading gazelle]

Oh you mean ||Sans||

[sand stump]

||steal and you get killed||

Oh...

[fading gazelle]

Its just like QasimC said

[safe yoke]

aw crap what did i say

[summer aurora]

man isnt a pushover tho

i got him in tartarus

[sand stump]

So... || he play differently when encounter in different zones||?

[summer aurora]

no

on tartarus u have no boons and stuff to make u stronger

and im not sure about this but i think he doesnt scale with region so he has quite a large hp pool

[frozen hemlock]

If someone can help me, how do I unlock the new legendary aspects?

[fading gazelle]

[safe yoke]

@summer aurora twin fists dont need no boons. tell big bone boy if he aint gonna slide me that stuff he gonna catch these weaponized hands

[fading gazelle]

@frozen hemlock

[summer aurora]

granted it was my first time fighting him

man hits for 60 per tap

[safe yoke]

bob and weave son.

[sand stump]

That is heavier than ||Hades himself||

[frozen hemlock]

@fading gazelle tyvm

[safe yoke]

ooooof why did you remind me ||i got to hades last night. beat him. only to realize that theres a second phase to the fight after the first "death"||

[summer aurora]

oh think its 50 cuz i had damage pack on

but his attacks are relatively easy to dodge once u get the hang of it

[safe yoke]

hades gets that perfect blend of rouglite. enough intense action to keep me pumped and jsut the right level of grindy where its not too easy to unlock stuff but it doesnt take an arm and a leg.

[patent topaz]

is it just me or the game became more difficult?

[sour dust]

Yes

I got worst at the game after the new update I'm fbsjsbd

[safe yoke]

if anything i havent noticed a increase of diffculty. but ive noticed ive hit harder

either that or ive gotten better

[patent topaz]

i also got worse

[safe yoke]

also does dodging give you iframes?

[patent topaz]

• we buffed strongbows, brightswords and greatshields!
  Me:
  you what

[sour dust]

MY REACTION HONESTLY FJSBSBF

[safe yoke]

oh. ive never noticed a diffrence in them cause theyve always been diifcult.

[past mirage]

New minibosses, Lernie buff, exalted hit harder, that definitely contributes to the challenge.

[sour dust]

That's the most trouble I have is with them tbh

[patent topaz]

*we cut concentrated fire!
Me:
y o u w h a t

[safe yoke]

but theyre NOTHING compared to the hell spawns that are the ||Chariots and bomb chariots||

[past mirage]

Meowing intensifies

[patent topaz]

tell you what, i like flamewheels
but i despise nemean chariots

[safe yoke]

@past mirage C E A S E

[patent topaz]

now i'm in Elysium, let's hope i don't get absolutely clobbered

[safe yoke]

if you havent gotten an absolute cheese boon build youll loose a death defiant or 2

[sour dust]

I hate elysium

I rather do styx than elysium tbh

[safe yoke]

also who evers bright idea it was to give those ||exploding chariots|| armor needs to fight a room full of them.

WITH MELEE ONLY

[patent topaz]

just kidding i hate flamewheels now

at least i saw best boy

[past mirage]

There’s a new item in the Well of Charon to remove them for X encounters, but I have yet to see it on offer.

[fading gazelle]

It is so unneccessary

[safe yoke]

@patent topaz are flamewheels the bomb chariots?

[patent topaz]

yep...

[safe yoke]

oh yeah hate all those chariots with a PASSION

inb4 supergiant makes a chariot boss for the next update

[past mirage]

A chariot that spawns flamewheels whilst chasing you through an arena

The crowd cheers with every explosion

[ancient tundra]

Flame wheels are fine if you have a damaging dash, you just run around and they explode on their own practically

Though I guess it's not a good method for timed runs

[safe yoke]

well a dash that leaves something where you originally dashed from

so do you guys just play a single weapon back to back or do you just pick whatever currently has dark thirst?

[ancient tundra]

I usually dark thirst, I haven't unlocked the entire mirror yet

[fading gazelle]

I tend to go with a weapon until I die with it

Mostly because all my weapons except shield and spear are really low heat

[safe yoke]

havent beaten a run yet so no heat yet.

[fading gazelle]

Oof

You'll get there

[safe yoke]

also ive unlocked all the mirror so what are keys used for after that?

[fading gazelle]

If you ever wish to change things up

[ancient tundra]

I feel you, I only just beat a run and then stopped

[fading gazelle]

There are two sides of the mirror

[safe yoke]

oh i know about 2nd side already

[ancient tundra]

Eh?!

[safe yoke]

ive mixed and matched

:L

oops

[fading gazelle]

Is that spoiler?

[ancient tundra]

I mean... I didn't know...

[fading gazelle]

Its nighty night so I didn't think it'd be spoilery, plus it was on the trailer

I'm so sorry...

You should get it within a few runs

[ancient tundra]

Ahh it's okay

[fading gazelle]

[ancient tundra]

I'll be back to playing it soon, I'm sure I'll see it haha

[fading gazelle]

Hopefully

[ancient tundra]

I haven't really watched the trailers past the release trailer tho

[fading gazelle]

Oh when did you join?

[safe yoke]

ive seen the trailer thats when i knew about the sheer size of the mirror

[fading gazelle]

I remember seeing you before blood price so I thought you were an oldie

[ancient tundra]

Ummm I got the game a few weeks ago i think

[safe yoke]

ooof

[ancient tundra]

I joined long after nighty night haha

[safe yoke]

ive gotten it a few days ago and binged it so hard

[ancient tundra]

It really is a fun game!

[patent topaz]

what the hell i lost two dd against the heroes what did they do to the difficulty level it's impossible

[fading gazelle]

It is so good

Lol what weapon?

I tend to lose dd with bows

[safe yoke]

honestly i wish there was a way to get ||diamonds and titans blood|| that isnt just getting them from ||first time boss kills with select weapon||

@fading gazelle dd?

[ancient tundra]

Death defiance

[fading gazelle]

Death Defiance

We use A LOT of acronyms

So be prepared lol

[frosty heron]

Just stay far away from spear-chucker until his boi is dead

[ancient tundra]

It took a while to figure them out for me too dw

[fading gazelle]

Also Charron's shop in Styx sells Diamonds and Titan Blood for 1000 and 1500 gold respectively

its either one of them in a run

Not both

[safe yoke]

ah mine is spear. im bad with spear

need way to get lots of gold and survive

[glad cobalt]

I've beaten them several times, and I still have no clue how to read shieldy-shieldy-spear man.

[ancient tundra]

Spear is one of the easier weapons imo

[fading gazelle]

Agree

[ancient tundra]

Good stunlock

[fading gazelle]

But I'd say spear is the hardest

[frosty heron]

If his boi is alive, he's unpredictable. I've literally had him switch attacks on me mid-swing

[fading gazelle]

If you want to do more damage on Theseus make him use his throw more often than his spin

[glad cobalt]

I usually end up killing the Minotaur first bc I have a grasp of when I can smack him, lol.

[frosty heron]

anything that gives back attack damage absolutely SHREDS both of them

[ancient tundra]

But also agree, focus Asterius first before dealing with Theseus

Long range Theseus attack is generally easy to avoid

[safe yoke]

Asterius first before dealing with Theseus
@ancient tundra
this. cause i tried the other way and fight both at the same time. worked until that moment when it became a BIG MISTAKE

learned that the hard way

[frosty heron]

the one run I reliably killed Thesieus first...I was so OP I killed the final boss in 45 seconds, so, y'know

[ancient tundra]

Oh gosh yeah I remember getting wiped the first time I versed them

I've heard their priority order switches if you turn on extreme measures

Haven't seen it myself yet though

[umbral coral]

I was killed by the two of them the first time in SECONDS. Accidentally dashed into both of them attacking at the same time and took something like 50 damage all at once. Took me a second to understand why I died so quickly.

[frosty heron]

yeah, that's accurate. In THAT case, get Thesius to half HP first

[ancient tundra]

What build did you have @frosty heron ?

[safe yoke]

as far as weapons i love the fists cause ive always liked fisticuff fighters, next is sword cause it has a good attack coverage. the rest are okay in my book nothing is the worst weapon just varying levels of difficulty depending on boons taken or recievied that run

[frosty heron]

Had the sword's 4th aspect, hoarding strike, and about 1800 coins with the upgrade that gives +200% damage on backstabs

[ancient tundra]

Whoaaaa

[frosty heron]

my full combo took out about half of Thesius' health

[ancient tundra]

That's terrifying I gotta try it out!

[frosty heron]

the backstab upgrade with the thicc sword is a monster. Even without my broken build your backstabs do something like 400 damage

[vague hornet]

Can't you use a Summon during Boss fights? It always says Summon Unavailable

[sand stump]

I struggle with spear and bow haha

The spear special and bow attack

Always feel sluggish to me

[frosty heron]

I've always been able to, as long as I don't waste all my charges

[fading gazelle]

Had the sword's 4th aspect, hoarding strike, and about 1800 coins with the upgrade that gives +200% damage on backstabs
If you had hoarding slash...

hoo boi

[frosty heron]

@fading gazelle Yeah...Again, I killed the final boss in 45 seconds

[sand stump]

Then, would you want to go for Mídas, or the Titan blood

Oh Mídas it seem

[ancient tundra]

I found bow easier and fun to use as a close up weapon (3 arrow attack + Artemis crit is fun for melting enemies)

[frosty heron]

of course, the way I play, sword #4 is by far the easiest way I can win

[fading gazelle]

You should try Nemesis

[safe yoke]

i go no brain fist mode. which is straight DBZ mode.

[frosty heron]

I am absolute garbage with the bow/spear

[safe yoke]

i punch fullcombo finish with uppercut dash then repeat.

[fading gazelle]

Aspect of TRUCK is an absolute unit but gets hard to use at higher heats

[ancient tundra]

Except that method did NOT work for FB 100% got creamed in 30 seconds lmao

[frosty heron]

Spear #4 pretty much requires you to be a god to win with it though

[umbral coral]

I know I really like spear #4 but I always die so easily

[sand stump]

^same man

It need to be upgraded first

[safe yoke]

oh i havent tried any diffrent weapon variants.

[sand stump]

Otherwise the side effect is hard

[safe yoke]

just zags version

[frosty heron]

you need to. That's when the fun starts

all the #4 aspects completely change the playstyle of their weapons

[safe yoke]

yeah but that costs TITANS BLOOD. and i already upgraded all of them with zags. cept spear which i acidentally with with zues's

and honestly i regret using it on zues's since the dash is so mush worse that the spear recall

[glad cobalt]

Sword 4 is the only sword I usually take, lol.

[umbral coral]

The gloves don't have a 4th aspect yet, do they?

[sand stump]

Yup, not yet

[umbral coral]

any who gives the 4th aspect for the sword?

[safe yoke]

RIOT

[glad cobalt]

The only exception is if I want to try out a different build, like when I picked Poseidon(?) Sword and built Demeter Cast.

[frosty heron]

and with the exception of sword #4, all of them have freaking sky high skill ceilings

[safe yoke]

thats cause fists are op

[sand stump]

I am wishing for an Asia one, maybe Aspect of Buddha for the fist

[safe yoke]

cant perfect perfection

naw aspect of asura

||Yeah, I think so.||

[ancient tundra]

I'm hopping off, good day or night to everyone!

[sand stump]

But..

Dang it.

Or maybe we can help another continent

Hades: So, youre approaching me boy?
Zagreus: I cant beat you unless I get closer father.

<===To be continued

[glad cobalt]

Oh, yeah, there's one thing I'd like to ask. I know Thanatos is someone you can bump into, but I haven't yet. Are there any requirements for that? ..err, I think it's Thanatos, at least.

He's the only NPC I've just never bumped into yet. :c

[safe yoke]

tbh i got him in elysium i think.

[past mirage]

I think it takes a few runs, but then you will meet him almost every run. He approaches in Asphodel on most occasions, at least for me.

[glad cobalt]

I've seen people bump into him in Asphodel & Elysium.

[safe yoke]

yeah same

[glad cobalt]

I've had several victorious runs. :c

[safe yoke]

have seen him in tartarsauce

[glad cobalt]

Maybe I need to die more, idk.

[safe yoke]

i have yet to beat ||big daddy Haddy||

[fading gazelle]

I feel aspect o Asura seems to make sense

[glad cobalt]

I've actually beat ||Hades with every weapon at least once||, iirc.

Though, most of them, only the one time. Sword main.

[safe yoke]

@fading gazelle exactly. and i say that cause im totally not a HUGE fan of Asuras Wrath oh no sir

[tropic panther]

i want to kill hydra, not redneck lernie

[trim surge]

lost a run cuz the game kept throwing me Ares boons and my DPS ended up being ass

ares, poseidon and a sprinkle of athena

[glad cobalt]

As soon as I got Sword 4, I basically exclusively devoted myself to it. ||It helps that I'm kind of a fan of Arthurian legend, to some extent. Like, in the sense that I just like it a lot, not that I'm well-versed in it.||

[trim surge]

timer ran out on boss fights

[glad cobalt]

Wait, there's a tim– oh, yeah, Heat.

TBH, I think I'm going to avoid the timer until I have no choice. xd

[safe yoke]

@tropic panther redneck lernie?

[trim surge]

timer isn't that bad, the 9 min one

but it's very RNG dependent

do you have good DPS? does the game throw unkillable elites at you?

[glad cobalt]

LoZ: OoT has conditioned me to break all of the pots.

[fading gazelle]

Oof

I suggest you start off with the really problematic heats first so you get used to them later

[glad cobalt]

Fair, but I've already probably not done that.

[safe yoke]

my best, well what i think the best was, dps i had was having Fist weapons. Dionysus boon for attack gave me on hit poison, Ares doom boon for skill. Zeus dash skill that had lightning strike enemy near my dash location. Athena god rush for invuln and reflect.

[tropic panther]

i got a duo boon look at my gauge, blacklivesmatter

https://imgur.com/a/XU7fNkA

[safe yoke]

did you mod your game @tropic panther ?

[tropic panther]

no, this is a new feature, new duo boon

[safe yoke]

then mind explaining how tf you got over 600 nectars?!

[sand stump]

Just run after run after run

[safe yoke]

i had a hard time getting 10

[sand stump]

Like Helian have 300k darkness

[tropic panther]

i play since the game started

[fading gazelle]

Damn that is still a large amount

[tropic panther]

and i dont get nectars, i always get keys

let me show all my stuff

and here i am scared to use my like 4 ambrosia

which should i choose

using default rail

[brisk trail]

flury ofc

[carmine pecan]

alr

[brisk trail]

the shotgun upgrade is best though especially with backstab ^

%

absolutely trucks boses

[carmine pecan]

you mean deadalous upgrade for rail?

[brisk trail]

btw are the fist weapons meant to be a jojo reference

[fading gazelle]

Lol no

You can think of it as one if you want though

But its not a direct reference

[safe yoke]

i got for more ammo.

[wind nest]

I actually think targeting system is underrated. Slowing enemies down is the equivalent of removing a force overtime from them, so it makes the game 2 heat easier. Otherwise I think it's tracking shot, as it's helpful to hit ALL your shots, rather than spam firing and missing some.

If you got perfect aim and perfect reloading, then it's flurry fire, but I think the other two options are viable here too

[safe yoke]

more blessed more god emperor blessed ammo to purge the undead shade heretics

[tropic panther]

@trim surge I dont know how many hours I have

[hoary ore]

Do I need to equip the specific weapon to get the new weapon aspects?

[carmine pecan]

what are some good duo boons?

[hoary ore]

Like if I want Rama do I need to do a run with the Bow or can I just trigger it by seeing Artemis with any weapon?

[floral shore]

Merciful End (Ares attack or special / Athena any), Hunting Blades (Ares cast / Artemis any), Blizzard shot (Poseidon cast, Demeter any), Ice Wine (Dionysus cast, Demeter any).

There's way more really good ones, but those are still very strong.

[carmine pecan]

ty

[past mirage]

Sea Storm (Poseidon x Zeus) is quite decent.

[floral shore]

Merciful end is particularly good if you pick the Zagreus aspect Fists, with Ares attack + Athena dash.

Yeah, Sea Storm is superb too.

[daring hull]

Like if I want Rama do I need to do a run with the Bow or can I just trigger it by seeing Artemis with any weapon?
@hoary ore you can go see her with any weapon

[carmine pecan]

what are the god summon things called?

[past mirage]

Calls. They are named XY's Aid.

[carmine pecan]

oh

[hoary ore]

I've already seen her a bunch of times, same for chaos and I have everything else unlocked, do I need to max the basic nectar first or is it just rng?

[floral shore]

RNG. The requirement you need is having unlocked Guan Yu and having five blood total invested in the weapon you want the fourth aspect to unlock for. From that point on it's just RNG.

[hoary ore]

Thanks!

GIB FIST ASPECTS

[junior wave]

Does Stubborn Roots only work in combat?

irt some recent feedback: even though Than's voice lines commenting on you entering the administrative chamber get cut short, i also think it's super funny for what it's worth

like "wait you're really gonna go in th-" bye

@junior wave yeah

you don't get any regen outside of combat

Wwhat would you chooses?

Hammer or Chaos?

[safe yoke]

HAMMER

[carmine pecan]

duh

hammer is op

[safe yoke]

HAMMER BEST BOY

[carmine pecan]

how to check

what boons and stuff you have equiped

[safe yoke]

slect on controller

select*

[carmine pecan]

pc

[safe yoke]

not sure on K&M

been playing exclusivley on controller

backspace maybe? maybe "I"

"i" not "L"

[crimson canopy]

IIRC it's 'b'

[safe yoke]

B for baller loot

[past mirage]

It actually depends. Chaos gates are rare, but if you don't take a hammer, it will often be scripted into a later chamber.

[tough oracle]

just downloaded the game and looking forward to playing it! the art style is already mind blowing to me. kudos to the artists!

[safe yoke]

yes but hammer stands up to the primordial entity of chaos.

@tough oracle make sure you check out thier other games too. specially Bastion

[tough oracle]

oh yes have already played Bastion and Transistor - loved Transistor! @safe yoke

[safe yoke]

[tough oracle]

Pyre i'm not sure about yet cos of the type of game it is but I'll probably check it out in the long run haha

[safe yoke]

bastion was my first game. ugh the memories.

played transistor but never beat it

own pyre but havent played it.

own Hades and am currently on a rougelite drug run.

just one more escape attempt!

[sand stump]

Man i am suck w bow

[safe yoke]

you get any hammer upgrades @sand stump ?

[sand stump]

150% attack to nearby enemies

[safe yoke]

no auto fire?

[sand stump]

54%attack comming in 2 encounter

No, havent seen thay

[safe yoke]

i perfer the autofire on bow since otherwise the playstyle is just too slow cause the draw on it

[sand stump]

That is what i dont like about the bow

It is the only weapon that “charge” it attack

[safe yoke]

yeah. i need the S P E E D

more speed means more enemeis stunlocked

[sand stump]

Yup

That why i said bow feel sluggish

[safe yoke]

yeah but the tradeoff is the bonus damage

will we be getting newer weapons?

[carmine pecan]

What is a favor do?

Like I saw

In gamepedia for Charon it says 10000 coins

For his shop but doesn’t say what it does or gives u

Butterfly got nerfed?

You gatta be kidding me

That's a major rip for me

[unreal lance]

I am super curious as to what the new fist aspect is gonna end up being... not a whole lot of heroic figures have a special pair of gauntlets that I know of

[safe yoke]

wasnt butterfly increase dmg for clearing room untouched?

[brisk trail]

Wasn't it 2% before?

I am super curious as to what the new fist aspect is gonna end up being... not a whole lot of heroic figures have a special pair of gauntlets that I know of
@unreal lance Excuse me, Muhammad Ali

[amber valve]

do you lose pierced butterfly bonus damage when you change the keepsake?

[brisk trail]

Ye

Pretty sure

[amber valve]

:((

[unreal lance]

I don't think he had a special name for his gloves. But yeah that would be cool.

[amber valve]

so its really only useful for clearing early stages?

[brisk trail]

Oh, I was just joking about him

[safe yoke]

pretty much

[brisk trail]

And at this point yeah

Well

Unless you are really good at dodging

[amber valve]

hmm yeah

[brisk trail]

I used to use them exclusively but now that it's just a 1% dmg boost

meh

Seems like more trouble than what it's worth.

[safe yoke]

while i would like a aspect of asura cause of reasons i think unless there is already one. the fists could be aspect of hercules@unreal lance

[safe haven]

Does the pierce butterfly have a limit?

Because most of the levels are around 15 rooms right?

[nimble ocean]

1%.. let's pretend you can clear all the 67 rooms untouched.. seems like it's not worth it anymore :c

[safe haven]

^ that's what I was thinking too

Hercules is greek/roman

I know he was very famous for wrestling while... everything...

Who dat tho

Asura isn't a singular deity, really, though.

And I think Rama is already Hindu.

[sand stump]

Hercules, I only remember him with a big club

[brisk trail]

Oh

There was a game about that guy, wasn't there?

[vague zinc]

Honestly with beowulf shield the fist can be anything

[sand stump]

Asura's Wrath

yep

Hindu mythos, right?

[vague zinc]

Beowulf is known more for his fist and sword

[safe yoke]

yeah

[sand stump]

put the aspect name in spoiler, guys

[safe yoke]

if youre putting herc with a club youve been playing too much smite

[brisk trail]

Yo can anyone spoil me the aspects for the shield and the bow? Haven't played the game in months lol

[safe yoke]

herc has been known for strength

[brisk trail]

kinda too lazy to get em rn tbh

Im just wondering what they are

[safe yoke]

strength also good for grabbing wrestling and punching

[sand stump]

Asuras (Sanskrit: असुर) are a class of beings or power-seeking clans related to the more benevolent Devas (also known as Suras) in Hinduism.
from wiki

[safe yoke]

Asura from asuras wrath is jsut lots of arms and punching

that game deserves a port

[sand stump]

i am still hate that game for making player pay extra for "true ending"

[brisk trail]

I did hear about that part somewhere

I think

bit of a big drama from what I remember

[safe yoke]

EZPZ. Aspect of Ravana. you smite players will know

[mystic nexus]

Hello!

I would like some advice on how to not get completely shredded while using Aspect of Guan Yu, please and thank you.

[vague zinc]

Use the spin to gain health, kite enemies

[sand stump]

upgrade it first

Any particular Olympians I should be cozying up to?

this works be better in #h1-builds-and-combat

Oh, thank you

But basically what I'm hearing is maybe hold off until I have some blood to spare?

[sand stump]

that is my 2 cent

[mystic nexus]

Thank you

that might be my problem

I'm not AMAZING at this game but I can consistently at least reach Styx on low heat

I've yet to clear Lernie with Mr. Fancyspear.

[vague zinc]

What's the prompt to get the fated list where poseidon ask you to defeat theseus?

[sand stump]

i have to problem with spear, just dash strike all the time

i have problem with bow though

[mystic nexus]

I meant with ||Guan Yu|| specifically

Though, since you mention it

Does anyone here not have problem with bow? >_>;

[narrow hemlock]

bow is fun to me, so long as its not zag aspect

[vague zinc]

To me it'a fine, but a bit slow

[daring hull]

i love the new bow aspect

but i also just go special

you don't have a slow attack if you don't use it

[safe yoke]

would letting us try aspect before purchase be game breaking?

[thorn spruce]

Is it some intended change or just a bug that you no longer seem able to aim festive fog? It's been a while since I've played.

Like, there's no aiming circle for it anymore

[devout bridge]

@mystic nexus yea, that spear aspect is one that does need to be upgraded to shine. there is a very noticeable difference between -70% and -50% for HP and Life Gain. In general, I tend to cozy up to Athena for her attack deflect since the spin charge can also deflect. Also remember that the special pierces foes and deals pretty good damage (it was just nerfed a little bit in the patch) if you need to kite enemies.

[spring plaza]

@carmine pecan its common courtesy for new players or players just generally avoiding spoilers to keep certain things like aspects and story details spoilered. the channel description says no spoilers here

[carmine pecan]

oh cuz it says ????

on the thing

i see

[mystic nexus]

@devout bridge Thank you~

also that's a great username

[spring plaza]

The game becomes a bit grindy, since only higher Heats reward runs with good prizes for upgrading weapons...

No way to trade Darkness for other items?

[mystic nexus]

Sometimes there's a special offer

but usually no

[spring plaza]

That is sad... I feel the game moves towards being very niche and core gamers oriented when it is about gameplay. Yet, the appeal to new players with relationships, storyline and collectibles or unlockable might be too grindy.

Anyway, there is no perfect way to do it

[devout bridge]

@unreal lance Yes, in my runs that aspect's spin attack does still deflect if you have Athena's attack boon. Though it seems it is the inner center that does it now and not the bladed edge.

[void vigil]

@thorn spruce that sounds like a bug, please report it with F10!

[carmine pecan]

i wish someone could add a more indepth guide in the wiki

for how to get companions

[narrow hemlock]

i was actually talking about that yesterday

that thats a thing that needs to be done

so we'll probably tackle that at some point

[rough token]

We could do something in #h1-story-discussion for now, like what Peach has for the aspects?

[safe yoke]

Peach? @rough token

[rough token]

HeartfulPeach, one of the mods, and a very helpful person

[carmine pecan]

i wish there was a setting to make the game lower quality

[rough token]

#hades-feedback !

Or did you already...?

[safe yoke]

AH. i thought peach was a item or weapon or nickname for god or something lol

[rough token]

XD

Peach is the nickname for the god of moderation and helpfulness

:P

[trim surge]

oof, purging boons of low rarity is 35 coins

[carmine pecan]

OOF

some of my progress reset

😢

whelp time to grind again

[rough token]

Okay so how does the Q&A work here?

[solar scarab]

immediate reaction to the announcement

is nice

[safe yoke]

DUSA PLUSH WHEN

[solar scarab]

yes

[safe yoke]

[narrow hemlock]

the channel opens, you have a 10 minute time span to submit questions, then the channel closes and sg picks stuff to answer

the #ask-supergiant channel i mean

[rough token]

Any limit to questions per person?

[narrow hemlock]

no

[safe yoke]

DEMAND DUSA PLUSH

[narrow hemlock]

just submit one question at a time

[pale lantern]

why do people like dusa so much

[safe yoke]

JUSTICE FOR DUSA

[rough token]

o7

[pale lantern]

i always despised any chat with her

[narrow hemlock]

shes not my fav but shes not unlikable, shes trying her best

[carmine pecan]

no idea

cuz she stammers like hinata maybe

🤷‍♂️

[quaint wind]

i imagine some people would relate to her anxiety

[carmine pecan]

not anxiety lmao

[rough token]

Babs you did not need to call us out

:3

:D

[carmine pecan]

its like shyness

and scared to talk to someone she likes

[safe yoke]

liking someone WAY out of your league

[rough token]

True, Zag is way out of her league ;)

As in,

Bleh

Words are hard

[carmine pecan]

what

[rough token]

I'm trying to words and I'm too sleepy xD

Nevermind lol

[carmine pecan]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/704794145167769771/725781109807513620/unknown.png

what are these do

and are they useful

[rough token]

Yes

[safe yoke]

really the ||privilege|| is 3 diamonds. hades made it sound like itd be ALOT more

deff go for the desk!

[narrow hemlock]

you need those to proceed with certain quests

[carmine pecan]

alright

both?

[narrow hemlock]

esp regaining access to the admin chamber

there are quests that involve things inside the chamber

||if you want more companions it is required||

[carmine pecan]

oh

[safe yoke]

I still suggest table first ||the stuff it unlocks helps with the grinding and escape attempts which imo trumps||

though REAL quesiton

what happens when i turn on the "easy mode" in settings

anything mechanic wise changes?

[hoary quiver]

easy mode? o_O

i know about "god mode"

but what is easy mode ._.

[safe yoke]

yeah isnt that the easy mode?

[hoary quiver]

well the way it works

[safe yoke]

what it describes wounds like easy mode

[hoary quiver]

the more you die the more resistance you get in %

against damage

so basically it's a demage reduction thing

[safe yoke]

other than that does it affect progression or do i just get a pit of shame in me that ill never recover from

[hoary quiver]

*damage

[rough token]

I mean, you can turn it off

[vale kite]

the deluxe contractor table allows you to unlock pickup bonuses

[hoary quiver]

i never experienced any negative effect in progression with god mode

all it does that it makes your character withstand more damage

i guess at 100% nothing can hurt you

i only got to like...49%?

[rough token]

Caps at 80%

[hoary quiver]

ah

[safe yoke]

no i mustnt be tempted with such foul desires. I MUST BEAT IT PURE AND TRUE

[rough token]

Eh, it's not a bad thing to use God Mode, even just as a practice tool

[hoary quiver]

yeah like who will judge you xD

[safe yoke]

HADES WILL

[daring hull]

about the whole Orpheus thing xD ||https://66.media.tumblr.com/393a54d51edce8047e7aaab481959baa/c2a1d8a28cfa5515-71/s640x960/2aee78df43c9f63c6acfe637c6b2563292002827.jpg ||

[safe yoke]

[daring hull]

fixed uwu

[safe yoke]

no "UwU" $500 fine

but i really like thier story line

THIS GAME IS CHALKED FILLED WITH STORY LINES

also can we get a bastion and bastion narrator cameo?

[narrow hemlock]

the narrator for both games is the same person, thats technically a cameo 🤧

[safe yoke]

[vague perch]

Might be a bit of a weird question, but does hypnos have autism? They seem to have some traits that I find myself relating to a lot and I got curious. Might just be self projecting tho. In any case, they're an awesome character, along with all the others

[daring hull]

to me hypnos seems like he might have add? than seems more autistic coded to me, but tbh i could see both

[vast junco]

you can ask SGG in the upcoming #ask-supergiant session, if you like! they might give an answer

[daring hull]

hypnos is very baby, in any case

[carmine pecan]

ara ara

[vague perch]

I will definitely ask it there then, yeah

I hope I remember, lol

[safe yoke]

hes a sleepy boy.

[carmine pecan]

huh a 20 second update'

[clever halo]

Yeah, I came looking for patch notes.

[dusky lark]

Hey I've heard that they've not decided when they're launching v 1.0 but since the trailers out I wanna ask if they've maybe updated their release schedule

[flat vapor]

v1.0 is sometime later this year, which is all we know currently

[sick folio]

weird how ive had so many small little updates since the blood price came out but there havent been any patch notes for them

[spare harbor]

I'm F10'ing it, but has anyone else encountered the bug with the rail whereby while aiming the special it doesn't show the targeting? Just wondering if it's only me. I've scrolled up and not seen anything.

[flat vapor]

if i had to guess dooclan, they're probably hotfixes for various bugs

[sick folio]

probably. i'd just like to know what bugs are being fixed in the hotfixes

[flat vapor]

I'm F10'ing it, but has anyone else encountered the bug with the rail whereby while aiming the special it doesn't show the targeting? Just wondering if it's only me. I've scrolled up and not seen anything.
i haven't heard anything about this, glad you're f10ing it!

[dusky lark]

Hold on blood price isn't out right?

[sick folio]

it is

[flat vapor]

it is, the current update is blood price

[dusky lark]

Wait I only started playing the game today and in the 8 hours I've played I haven't run into demeter

And the last weapon I received was the rail

[flat vapor]

you need to ||reach the final boss once, no need to win||

[quaint bramble]

I thought I saw one of the SGG devs say on here that most of those smaller updates were for on-start crashes. @dusky lark that’s because Demeter isn’t unlocked by default

[dusky lark]

O h h

Same goes for rama and beowulf or whatever that stuff was right ?

and how do you piss off charon ;-;

[quaint bramble]

I believe #h1-story-discussion has the pinned that explains ||legendary aspects||.

[vale kite]

you can only piss off charon ||after beating the final boss at least once||

[dusky lark]

Ty guys

Final boss isn't theseus right?

[vale kite]

it's not

[flat vapor]

nope!

[dusky lark]

There's 1 more after that if I'm not wrong

[patent topaz]

oh boi prepare you innocent soul

[dusky lark]

Or was it 2

[vale kite]

only one way to find out

[flat vapor]

keep playing!!!

[dusky lark]

@patent topaz I'm looking forward to it!

uwu

Ilyall

[patent topaz]

ohohoh

[flat vapor]

we'll be waiting for the reaction

[dusky lark]

xD

[patent topaz]

you sweet sweet summer child

[dusky lark]

I gotta get to sleep for now but I'll be sure to come here and start yelling like a baby on meth when I see it

[clever halo]

The depends on if any New York sized lifeforms show up, as to whether it's one or two bossy types. :p

[oak lantern]

How do we participate in #ask-supergiant ?

[flat vapor]

when the q&a happens, the channel will be open to the public for a little bit for us to ask questions

after a while, the channel will close and sgg will answer some

[carmine pecan]

woah deflect is really good with rail

[merry falcon]

yeah deflect primary is real nice

[spare harbor]

Ohhhhhhhh ohhhhh ohhhy, was there an update that fixed a known bug with a particular god and a particular fated list item? ||Just encountered Ares and he gave me a "you killed 10,000" foes line! I'm looking very much forward to getting new lines and characterisation from him. My fav part of this game is all the dialogue and characters.||

[vale kite]

i think they fixed ||aphrodite not letting you unlock her last heart||, the ares thing is new to this update

[spare harbor]

i think they fixed ||aphrodite not letting you unlock her last heart||, the ares thing is new to this update
@vale kite ||I recall from the Beta that someone at Supergiant, I forget who, said the Ares thing was bugged; I had slain over 100,000 foes and pretty sure I had killed 10,000 more after the fated list item was given. Ares just wasn't giving the voice line for the slaying. Not sure if I'll be able to give him Ambroisa and unlock the other hearts just yet as still in the current run where he gave the dialogue.||

[vale kite]

oh yeah youre right

[narrow hemlock]

hey ive been the one reporting ares as bugged, because he was, but he is fixed now and you can complete his hearts

greg acknowledged the other day he wasnt working as intended but one of the patches yesterday fixed it

all of the gods can be completed now, save for ||demeter||

[spare harbor]

Awesome! I mean, all of the gods are my favs, but Ares is also my favourite. I don't think I've ever seen a more interesting, or even just interesting, "war god" character concept ever before.

[manic bobcat]

Found tatz alt account

[narrow hemlock]

oh god my first alt tatz comment

incredible

[sick folio]

how many people can you give ambrosia to?

[manic bobcat]

All of them

The ones you can talk to that is.

[sick folio]

oh, i thought it was just the ones that you could get summons from

[manic bobcat]

I mean you won't get any reward from most of them

But you can give them Ambrosia

[narrow hemlock]

most of them will cap out at one ambrosia. some you can give multiple ambrosia to

the only ones you cant give ambrosia at this time ||are demeter and hades||

[urban forum]

Can u give ||bouldy|| ambrosia

[narrow hemlock]

okay not that one either

i mean you sorta do through the companion? but otherwise no

[dawn tiger]

you should be able to tbh

Bouldy is a real G

[urban forum]

Yea

When do we get to ||release bouldy’s contract||

[trim surge]

first enemy of erebus challenge: little chariot, instantly explodes in my face as I swing the sword

[narrow hemlock]

yeah dont melee those

if they spawn you can try to kite them around to explode into obstacles

[trim surge]

literally the FIRST enemy to spawn, tried to hit it before it appeared

it was impossible to tell

not sure how I feel about the nature of no-hit challenge to begin with

[sick folio]

in erebus, it's usually not a good idea to swing at small spawning circles for this reason
