There's a tiny delay between getting hit and explosion with the flame wheels

#

But yeah, kiting is probably your best but not fastest option

#

Its easier if you have a dash boon that damages enemies, just be sparing with your dashes

#

I feel like that's not very good advice haha...

keen talon
#

does deflecting strike give you flamewheel immunity

sick folio
#

sometimes when using fists, i get a hammer that allows my special to deflect. i can kill those little chariots to deflect the explosion

keen talon
#

it feels like it does

urban forum
#

I feel like the deflect dodge at least doesnt give immunity

potent salmon
#

Hi

#

When there are achievements, will those I made in early access be added?

#

sorry if my english is not correct

sharp parcel
#

there has been no mention of achievements so far

#

however, the game does keep track of the various things you've done, including fulfilling the prophecies

#

which basically act as in-game achievements

narrow hemlock
#

im sure if theres steam achievements for any prophecies and such, many of those should be retroactive, since theres no getting them again without starting a new file. im sure stuff like that has been under consideration by the team thanthink wont know til 1.0 though

sharp parcel
#

I've no doubt they'd be retroactive

fiery pebble
#

So, one of the buffs the benefits package can give is speed, huh

#

And of course, the hot wheels get it

#

Fun

sick folio
#

the binding of isaac makes nearly all achievements retroactive when they release expansions. the only ones that aren't are ones that can be completed again (beat a boss x amounts of times). i'm sure thus will be the case with hades

narrow hemlock
#

wouldnt be surprised, many prophecies were retroactive

amber valve
#

is anyone else getting small hades updates whenever they restart steam?

narrow hemlock
#

theres been periodic fixes, yes

amber valve
#

ok just wondering, thanks

narrow hemlock
#

theyve been sending out a few small patches a day since the update went out

river zinc
#

on 103 runs and Chaos' legendary boon is the only thing in the prophecy list I haven't come across yet. And (searching on reddit etc) looks like it's random without any prerequisites unlike the rest boons

#

How long did it take for those who got it?

thorny patio
#

lol, beat ||asterius|| with ||lucifer|| gun + frost attack and he just got stuck in death animation

#

and took some chill damage for a while

#

until he like walked into a wall, the door opened, shut again, and he the phased through the door

carmine pecan
#

use spoiler tags please

harsh onyx
#

Do you have to be using the respective weapons to get the conversations to unlock their new aspects?

clever solstice
#

you have to invest some blood into them, i think 5 for each? and then just get friendly (give nectar) to the respective person that initiates the conversation and wait for them to talk about it

#

make sure to have || guan yu|| before all this tho

harsh onyx
#

Hmmph. I've met all those conditions. No luck yet though.

clever solstice
#

im actually not sure if || anybody but the gods|| needs nectar for them to tell you but i do remember for sure || artemis || not telling me jack until i gave her stuff

#

just keep playing and youll eventually get it if youve met the conditions, sometimes it takes a while because of RNG or other convos they have that get priority for whatever reason

narrow hemlock
#

the aspect dialogue are not locked behind affection whatsoever

fiery pebble
#

Does the random swap from the hammer count for the achievement?

raw cape
#

What are the new requirements for Artemis's Legendary

thorny patio
#

gun seems pretty jank with controller

#

sometimes I can't even aim at my specials

sharp parcel
#

@fiery pebble for hammer prophecies? They do

#

@raw cape check the patch notes

fiery pebble
#

Huh, looks that way

#

Neat

#

Thanks

#

Damn, I think I played Hades for so much already that I still am a bit burnt out on it

#

Even though I havent played in a while

sharp parcel
#

they added stuff but the game is mechanically the same

#

I feel the same way

#

at least the new rail aspect is fun

carmine pecan
#

Is a rogue like

trim surge
#

Poms feel pretty weak

fiery pebble
#

I need to unlock them first

#

And Im not sure how

sharp parcel
#

it's in the patch notes

carmine pecan
#

What

fiery pebble
#

Yeah but

carmine pecan
#

Poms?

fiery pebble
#

I was playing bow, I had aspects unlocked, and I still got nothing from Artemis

carmine pecan
#

Are y’all talking bout those pomegranates

sharp parcel
#

you got a bunch of other dialogues queued up

carmine pecan
#

Or something different

sharp parcel
#

have to squeeze those out first

fiery pebble
#

I guess so

#

I guess Ill at least get the new aspects first

sharp parcel
#

once the queue is empty you meet the requirements, she'll drop the line

harsh onyx
#

Yeah I dunno, I've gotten generic dialogue from Zeus and Artemis about 8 times from each

sharp parcel
#

are you 100% sure it was generic?

harsh onyx
#

"Hey Zagreus, your not alone down there!" was the one I just got

sharp parcel
#

that is generic

thorny patio
#

I had to meet the gods several times as well to clear up new dialogue options before they gave their passphrases

harsh onyx
#

Plus I've had repeated lines

sharp parcel
#

have you met the requirements outlined in the patch notes?

harsh onyx
#

I've gotten all the other aspects unlocked

sharp parcel
#

if you still can't get em after a few runs, hit F10 and report it

#

I got em right away myself but who knows, maybe a particular trigger is borked on your end

#

it happened before

harsh onyx
#

Lucky me FeelsBadMan

carmine pecan
#

I need to catch up

#

I only got one 3rd aspect

narrow hemlock
#

make sure you meet the minimum titan blood requirements per weapon

#

sometimes that bit is overlooked

carmine pecan
#

Is aspect of zag good for some wraps

#

Wraps

#

Weaps

thorny patio
#

I maxed zag aspect on gun

#

but I mostly hate the gun, so eh

carmine pecan
#

I hate the guns reload mechanic

#

If you keep clicking with no ammo

#

It won’t reload the ammo

crisp spruce
#

hey how do I get a ||Charon|| fight? his gold bag doesnt show up anymore after i beat him once

devout bridge
#

@carmine pecan Zag aspect is pretty good across the board for all weapons and is the cheapest to level since it only takes 5 total Bloods to reach max rank. All of the zag aspects don't change how the weapon is used, but gives a more passive buff to each. Certainly the double ammo for Exagryph is nice

thorny patio
#

We used to play with only the zag aspects

carmine pecan
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fiery pebble
#

Id argue the Zag aspect on bow is the best one

carmine pecan
#

Nah but ref now special

#

Regular

#

Now

#

Bow

#

It’s garbage

devout bridge
#

@fiery pebble I certainly used it more than any other. Simple +10% crit. But the bow was always my least favorite weapon. Having fun now with the 4th aspect

daring hull
#

same xD

fiery pebble
#

Its my personal favourite actually

carmine pecan
#

Like why is the bow special so Dudu

fiery pebble
#

And I think the base one is best because I think the gimmicks make the weapon worse

#

Regular bow does more damage than special bow

#

And I prefer having the utility of the casts

deep pivot
lament canyon
#

Uhh, question. Does the speed boost from the Lambent Plume stay with you after you swap it out? Or do you only get the speed while you have it on you

fiery pebble
#

Only why you have it on you

#

Same as the damage stacking one

lament canyon
#

mmm, gotcha

raw cape
#

@sharp parcel unless I'm blind the patchnotes just say cast bonus ammo is reduced and the reqirements have changed. Not what the required boons are.

carmine pecan
#

How to get roles in this server?

devout bridge
#

@deep pivot My apologies. I didn't think I was being explicit. Will be more careful in the future.

carmine pecan
#

Like the hades role

alpine mural
#

is there a way without physically counting to tell how many rooms in a set floor you have gone through?

carmine pecan
#

No

alpine mural
#

:/

deep pivot
#

is there a way without physically counting to tell how many rooms in a set floor you have gone through?
@alpine mural Open the boon menu. Chamber number will be on the top right corner.

spare harbor
#

Can just open up the boon menu to see the chamber number

alpine mural
#

oh nice 🙂 thanks

sharp parcel
#

@raw cape you used to need Exit Wounds and Dual Shot for the legendary

carmine pecan
#

Oh damn

#

I never paid attention tot hat

#

Oh well

sharp parcel
#

Dual Shot is a duo boon now, so you only need Exit Wounds for it

alpine mural
#

is there a set number for when each boss is?

#

of rooms

#

where could I find that info

carmine pecan
#

Isn’t there extra rooms?

#

Idk

crisp spruce
#

i feel like there should be, I seems to be able to tell how close am i to a boss after a couple hundred run

#

boss is always before a shop too, and there are only 2 shop per zone

deep pivot
#

where could I find that info
@alpine mural They are in specific room numbers but I can't remember quite well the numbers. I will do a run and update you on that 👍

carmine pecan
#

Lol

alpine mural
#

i'm checking out the wiki right now

#

give me a bit

sharp parcel
#

14/24/36

#

that's the boss room

carmine pecan
#

What if there’s a room disguised as a different room that auto kills u

#

😳

sharp parcel
#

the number could go higher if you pick Chaos/Erebus instead of the pre-boss room

crisp spruce
#

what if there is a disguised room that just take you to hades

carmine pecan
#

Nah

#

Not fun

#

Having to redo the whole run tho

sharp parcel
#

you mean a room that takes you...home?

carmine pecan
#

😳

#

Basically

#

Ok that sounds less fun now

crisp spruce
#

i for once would like a Erebus room that has every single boss that cost 30 heats to enter

hollow heron
#

Pls no

deep pivot
#

By the way, for Fully Loaded to appear now you'll need 2 of these:

  • Hunter's Mark
  • Exit Wounds
  • Support Fire
    @sharp parcel @raw cape
alpine mural
#

did they nerf fully loaded btw?

#

I only got +2 casts

sharp parcel
#

yes, -1 cast

hollow heron
#

Yes

deep pivot
#

It gives +2 bloodstones now.

alpine mural
#

hm

thorny patio
#

Too strong with the regen cast variation I take it?

sharp parcel
#

well, I suppose mark and support fire are decent options if you're not using Poseidon or Hera

#

variety!

alpine mural
#

so in that count of chambers before the boss room chaos is included in that number?

crisp spruce
#

chaos and erebus should not count

sharp parcel
#

Chaos is a room, so yes

crisp spruce
#

nvm then

sharp parcel
#

same with Erebus

alpine mural
#

I always felt it was a specific number it's good to confirm finally

sharp parcel
#

it replaces a room, but if you take either of those before the pre-boss room, then it extends the number of rooms

alpine mural
#

nice so a kind of free room

sharp parcel
#

cause you can't skip the pre-boss room

alpine mural
#

but can you skip the boss room? thanthink

sharp parcel
#

yes, by selecting Give Up from the pause menu

alpine mural
#

haha

sharp parcel
#

it's a shortcut back home

alpine mural
#

thanks for the info

carmine pecan
#

Bruh

#

Does anyone main sword

crisp spruce
#

Arthur for life

dawn tiger
#

Sword is pretty dope

#

Zag aspect Stygius is honestly my most played weapon

#

Even though it’s the pumpkin spice late of aspects

hollow heron
#

Zoom aspect is dope

#

It's nem that's the zzz sword one

carmine pecan
#

4th aspect for gauntlet

#

Thanos

#

😳

serene obsidian
#

I think my favorite new boon, going by names only..... .side hustle

sharp parcel
#

it's just so good

carmine pecan
#

I read that wrong

sharp parcel
#

provided you didn't buy it with gold

carmine pecan
#

Thanatos random encoubters right

#

Encounters

sharp parcel
#

yep

crisp spruce
#

i wanna fight cerberus, damn it

narrow hemlock
#

but why

steep nymph
#

wow the heat timer is rude ! forced to finish the run to 24mn . stressed entire run

fiery pebble
#

I still think fully loaded is a very boring legendary

final grail
#

Is there a way to check which boon abilities you have in a run at any given time?

safe yoke
#

oh boy i LOVE it when i just do a run for poops and laughs and hen i somehow get 15+ boon and end up at the final stage

carmine pecan
#

you could fight cerberus?

crisp spruce
#

@final grail it's the button bound to Boon Info in the controls setting

safe yoke
#

who would want to?

#

why would you fight goodest dog boi

final grail
#

Oh sweet

fiery pebble
#

Dont think of it as a fight

#

Think of it as playing ... fetch

#

You throw arrows, and he catches them

#

With his body

#

Jokes aside, you cant fight cerberus

#

Yet

narrow hemlock
#

its not gonna happen lol

safe yoke
#

if we ever fight cerb we riot

narrow hemlock
#

rigging cerb to perform in a fight is a lot more difficult than having him sit or ||animating charon for his fight||

crisp spruce
#

ok then I want Cerberus as a summon

safe yoke
#

i STILL have yet to fight him

narrow hemlock
#

all summon slots are taken already

crisp spruce
#

when you summon him he do nothing except sitting there like a good boi

dawn tiger
#

He sits there and looks cute

#

Best dog

deep pivot
#

@amber rampart I was thinking about the same thing! Great feedback in my opinion shadethumbsup

carmine pecan
#

@narrow hemlock pretty easy to expand it and add a new one lmao

narrow hemlock
#

but thats not planned for 1.0

fiery pebble
#

Well, Hestia appears to be busted as hell still

narrow hemlock
#

whats the issue with it 0:

fiery pebble
#

No issue really

#

Its just really really good

carmine pecan
#

hestia?

fiery pebble
#

You basically trivialise bosses

#

I mean

carmine pecan
#

you mean the aspect?

fiery pebble
#

Yeah Hestia

#

Yup

carmine pecan
#

i was like

#

they added hestia boons?

dawn tiger
#

Plz add grandma Rambo

carmine pecan
#

what is that

fiery pebble
#

I believe its a humerous way of describing Hestia

#

Since she is a grandmotherly figure who happened to use a rocket launcher/machine gun hybrid

narrow hemlock
#

oh i wouldnt know, havent used hestia in ages lol. i dont really run rail much bc its not enjoyable for me on controller

#

i have to switch to kbm when i wanna do rail runs

fiery pebble
#

Huh

#

I use it on controller

carmine pecan
#

huh

narrow hemlock
#

i just dont like the way it controls, too janky for my liking

fiery pebble
#

Its just easy all the way through

#

Yeah thats fair

#

I just like that I need 1 boon

#

And the run is already won

crisp spruce
#

i wanna fight nyx
i wanna fight Chaos
i wanna fight doggy
i wanna fite

carmine pecan
#

fight the chef

safe yoke
#

why

fiery pebble
#

Like, get an Aphrodite Attack boon on Rail, and youre set

safe yoke
#

why is it on the run i dont feel like trying i make it to the end

#

now i gotta fight him

fiery pebble
#

I just had a run where its basically the only thing I got

#

Still finished the run with 2 death defiances left

carmine pecan
#

why aphro on rail u set

fiery pebble
#

And I only lost the one because I forgot what button Call was bound to

carmine pecan
#

what boons

fiery pebble
#

Aphrodite attack boon, thats all you need on maxed out Hestia rail

#

Aphrodite specifically because she has the highest % upgrade from the attack boon

#

Artemis is probably slightly higher DPS at max, but its unreliable

#

But yeah, one attack boon and you hit easily upwards of 300 per reloaded shot

carmine pecan
#

i love the aphrodite call

fiery pebble
#

Just attack, reload, attack, reload

#

Oneshots most mobs til Elysium

dawn tiger
#

Yeah, Hestia rail is basically Eris but way less jank

#

Turns out reloading is much easier than having to explode yourself with your own special

fiery pebble
#

Way more powerful, because it changes the base damage

#

Which means its multiplicative

dawn tiger
#

Wait, damn

fiery pebble
#

150 base damage, so 100% extra damage is 300

dawn tiger
#

No wonder Aphro is so good on it

fiery pebble
#

Yup

dawn tiger
#

Like some of my faster rail times is with it

#

And it never struck me that it was why

fiery pebble
#

The biggest increases in damage are ones that affecte base damage

crisp spruce
#

haven anyone saw poseidon since the patch

#

i havent encounter him even once

fiery pebble
#

A few times, yes

#

Thats RNG for ya

safe yoke
#

anyone know what im missing from this list or where theyre located at:
||dire inferno bomber

wretched sneak
dire voidstone
megagorgon
dire skullcrusher
dire spreader
dire soulcatcher
???

dire saytr cultist||

fiery pebble
#

Oh yeah, were missing the fist aspect

#

Hopefully its a good one, I dont like the fists right now

safe yoke
#

thems fightin words

#

fist imo best weapon

nimble ocean
#

i don't see Poseidon much since previous update

#

Zeus, on the other hand, became much more common

hearty torrent
#

@safe yoke You're missing three Dire encounters in Styx. Just keep running those Elite wings.

fiery pebble
#

Fists are just less interesting sword tbqh

#

I wished they would be a big comboing weapon

#

But nah

safe yoke
#

Just keep running those Elite wings.
failbag

#

oh boy.....

#

you combo them with your dash

fiery pebble
#

Thats not really a combo

#

I wanted something like attack attack special doing something different from just regular special

#

You know, various combo-strings you can flow between

safe yoke
#

man you actually count your button presses? i just spam and pray for stunlock

#

late game consists of not only spamming attack but

#

ALSO dash

#

high level gameplay right there

#

and lol i JUST got a Poseidon drop

fiery pebble
#

I mean right now I dont

#

But if the weapon had that, I would

#

I just think the weapon as it is is kind of half-baked

safe yoke
#

so should i get RAZOR SHOALS or EXCLUSIVE ACCESS

desert nebula
#

(Bow it was.)

sharp parcel
#

which bow?

#

actually, it probably wouldn't have mattered, that's just a bad room

desert nebula
#

The first one.

fiery pebble
#

Thats why I dont like the "x hits negated" heat option

desert nebula
#

The default bow.

sharp parcel
#

yeah, nothing to be done

fiery pebble
#

Your best bet was probably to just spam uncharged dash attack til you get rid of the damage shields

sharp parcel
#

maybe having Dio would've helped a bit to stave off the shields

fiery pebble
#

Then try to line them up with a charged dash attack to kill em

desert nebula
#

Damage control was off tho.
@uno

sharp parcel
#

well, yes, the shields came from the Benefits Package

trim surge
#

imagine this but with even more blue hearts, more enemies and you have to sell your boons
high heat simply aint fun for me

#

32 heat is something you do out of curiosity for the trophy and probably never touch again

north nymph
#

Someone help me. I've spent maybe my last 20 or so runs trying to get fully loaded and cant. I get multiple of the boons required for the multi-shot boon but it never shows up.

desert nebula
#

I never had it either actually.

fiery pebble
#

I like high heat, but not all options are equal

#

I tend to not use anything that makes enemies take longer to kill

#

Since that just makes them bullet spongy

#

I prefer maxing out on enemy damage and speed

light estuary
#

after this new steam update, i need hades avatars

desert nebula
#

That's actually the opposite of what I take 😄

fiery pebble
#

I mean, everyone has their own preference

#

I just think challenge is at its best when its just the same length, but more intense

#

When every error can get you killed quickly

sick folio
#

my game has updated like 3 times today, anyone else's?

desert nebula
#

I had some few recently, yes.

narrow hemlock
#

small fixes

#

theyve been doing that since the update dropped

brisk trail
#

guys to i get Rama Aspect i need to have all bow aspects maxed?

hollow heron
#

No

crisp spruce
#

now I really want an MMORPG version of Hades

manic bobcat
#

Well I can see a racing mod in Hades tbh

#

2 players, same seed, racing to the end.

crisp spruce
#

co-op hades would be the dream, but sadly that's not Supergiant's style

manic bobcat
#

How would coop work?

fiery pebble
#

Thats odd then, because I have the requirements for the aspects

#

But Im not getting the dialogue

crisp spruce
#

Zagaerus and his long lost twin brother, obviously, unless we're going the full alternate character route, you can have the 2nd player be Thanatos

fiery pebble
#

Other than shield I guess

sick folio
#

imagine a coop where Zag and Thanatos are in an arena fighting infinite waves of enemies. Thanatos could be reworked to be less op since he would be a player. every couple waves, charon would appear selling items, then after 30sec or so, he disappears, and the next wave would begin. it goes till the players die

fiery pebble
#

I dont think Ive invested any titan bloods into shield because none of the aspects are worth unlocking or upgrading

amber rampart
#

I would love a SGG co-op game to play with the friends who got me into these games in the first place, but I don't really see Hades working for that tbh

sick folio
#

aspect of zues is good unovven

crisp spruce
#

@fiery pebble Beowulf aspect with charged flight one-shotting every is pretty fun

#

make me feel like a sniper

fiery pebble
#

Well Id have to unlock it

#

Aspect of Zeus is ok I guess

hollow heron
#

Zeus is pretty dece

fiery pebble
#

I just didnt want to unlock it because its pretty meh til maxed out

#

And I only have so many titan bloods

hollow heron
#

Fair

#

It's definitely not great at low levels

stable jungle
#

I am a big fan of the Chaos shield

hollow heron
#

Chaos shield is just busted

fiery pebble
#

Also I would probably still forget to use the special while zoomin around

stable jungle
#

The AOE is fun. And Chaos occasionally talks to you through it!

brisk trail
#

Aspect of Chaos is widely considered in some parts of the community the best in the game.

hollow heron
#

Busted as in "crazy strong"

#

You get shields innate safety and movement and control

fiery pebble
#

And I have always disagreed with that opinion

hollow heron
#

And also loads of damage

fiery pebble
#

Though I have heard its optimal in speedrunning

flat vapor
#

it's very strong but it's not as busted as it was

fiery pebble
#

I just think shields special is worthless

#

And even having 5 of them doesnt make it worthwhile without specific combinations

sharp parcel
#

put Dio/Ares/Zeus on it

#

bam, killer

fiery pebble
#

Ive played with ares special shield before

#

Tiny bit safer than regular build, way slower

sharp parcel
#

then you'd want Athena attack with it, and then the duo

fiery pebble
#

I think that was the only time I had a 40+ minute run

brisk trail
#

I much prefer Dionysus and Zeus than Ares, but with Ares you just get Merciful End with Divine Dash.

sharp parcel
#

at which point you're a pain train

hollow heron
#

Shield special is honestly pretty good

fiery pebble
#

Yeah with specific boons its good I imagine

brisk trail
#

But Merciful End is silly on anything that can quickly apply Doom.

fiery pebble
#

But thats too much of an investment and highroll

sharp parcel
#

lol no

fiery pebble
#

For something that isnt very fun

sharp parcel
#

you have rerolls

#

you have god keepsakes

fiery pebble
#

I know

sharp parcel
#

you can force stuff, man

brisk trail
#

Tell you what, UNOvven. I'll stream an Aspect of Chaos run, we'll see how long it takes me.

fiery pebble
#

I still fail to get the builds I want quite often

#

So Id rather have an aspect I know is guaranteed to be good

#

Rather than one that is good with the right boons and awful without them

#

Though I guess, its still the baseline shield without the boons

sharp parcel
#

have you tried using Fated thing that allows you to reroll boons?

fiery pebble
#

You can just build for bull rush and be effective there

#

Fated Authority?

#

Ive not used the flipside yet, no

sharp parcel
#

I don't remember which one it is

fiery pebble
#

Dont value it as much

sharp parcel
#

the one that rerolls boons

fiery pebble
#

Thats the flipside

sharp parcel
#

I used to be like you, a non-believer

fiery pebble
#

Fated Persuasion

sharp parcel
#

rerolling doors

brisk trail
#

Fated Authority is still good.

sharp parcel
#

thinking my salvation lies behind em

fiery pebble
#

I prefer rerolling doors

sharp parcel
#

but I saw the light as I started rerolling boons

fiery pebble
#

For my playstyle, its better, especially since you get more rerolls at max

sharp parcel
#

you get more door rerolls because boon rerolls is the nuts

#

I want Zeus attack on my rail

#

I start with Zeus keepsake, get his boon, reroll until I get attack, I won the run

deep pivot
#

@fiery pebble @brisk trail I had a run with Aspect of Chaos + Underworld Customs + Approval Process 2. So overall, it is a great weapon shadethumbsup

fiery pebble
#

I mean, if works for everyone else, thats cool

deep pivot
#

I was about to send the links to Pear just now shadesmile

fiery pebble
#

Some people also enjoy fists, and I dont

sharp parcel
#

say, are you also using Privileged Status over Family Favorite?

fiery pebble
#

But I think shields special is far and away the worst attack out of all of them

#

Hm

#

I think I picked Family Favourite?

sharp parcel
#

you're better than me in that regard

carmine pecan
#

what is a weapons dark thirst?

sharp parcel
#

took me a looooong time to realize that FF was better

fiery pebble
#

Gives you more darkness I believe

carmine pecan
#

ah

brisk trail
#

They nerfed Family Favorite recently.

deep pivot
#

It's a buff that gives you +20% Darkness in your whole run.

brisk trail
#

There's plenty of reason to take Privileged Status still.

fiery pebble
#

Oh, thats what gave me dodges

sharp parcel
#

it's still good tho, even at 25%, which is the standard amount with 4 guaranteed gods + Hermes

fiery pebble
#

I was wondering why I kept dodging attacks

#

I forgot about Ruthless Reflex

#

Yeah, of course.

and you can force a couple more gods on top for that 35%, if you feel like it

#

or even 40% if you get 4 gods in Tartarus

fiery pebble
#

I used to run High Confidence as well

#

But I wasnt sure if it was multiplicative or additive

#

And I kept getting hit

#

So Im back on thick skin

sharp parcel
#

nah, I wrote that one off on the spot. HP is just too valuable

fiery pebble
#

Maybe, but more damage is fun

#

And I like high risk playstyles

Guan Yu teaches you that HP > damage

rough token
#

I've been running HC recently, because I forgot to switch it back after a challenge run. It's not too bad

#

Nah

#

I did a min-health GY run

fiery pebble
#

Guan Yu teaches you that trading HP for damage is awesome

rough token

sharp parcel
#

but losing the damage bonus from the talent in one hit, along with your Death Defiance, certainly isn't

rough token
#

I mean

fiery pebble
#

Just dont get hit?

rough token
#

That's why I got a perfect clear on final boss xD

I did lose two DD to the new boss

sharp parcel
#

that's too big brained for my shielded mind

rough token
#

Oh, I definitely prefer shield

sharp parcel
#

I've played so much Chaos shield that not getting hit feels wrong

rough token
#

Hahaha

sharp parcel
#

hit and block, that is

rough token
#

Chaos Shield has been my most consistent No Core Boons weapon

#

and they added a hammer that grants you a 20% damage bonus to everything for 10 seconds on block

I stand by Minotaur Rush + Charged Shot

I've neither the patience nor precision to time that

Does a lotta damage if Chaos likes you

I think I got up to 500ish damage Power Shots?

That was a while ago though

Actually, does anyone know if high confidence is multiplicative or additive?

No idea

#

Yoo

fiery pebble
#

I tried looking in the files to see if High Confidence is multiplicative

#

And I realised I forgot how to read any of this

carmine pecan
#

hm god gauge 1% per 2 seconds is pretty useful

#

just dash and avoid enemies and when gauge full attack with calls

safe yoke
#

ph i had that

#

i also had increase starting gauge too

#

i was spaming god gauge during boss fights

#

or even normal fight

fiery pebble
#

Ok I think its multiplicative

#

Which is good

sharp parcel
#

just check on Skelly with a weapon that does 10 damage, with the talent on/off

fiery pebble
#

Well

#

That doesnt actually help

sharp parcel
#

High Confidence is what, 20% bonus?

fiery pebble
#

Since multiplicative and additive would be the same on an unmodified weapon

#

Although

#

I have an idea

sharp parcel
#

oh, I'm dumb

#

Fiery Presence is additive, right?

fiery pebble
#

Its additive

#

If I use Distant Memory, a powershot does 78

#

If I add High Confidence, its 93

#

Thats a damage boost of 15, which is 25% of the base 60

#

So its just legitimately not good

sharp parcel
#

well, there you have it

fiery pebble
#

Science!

#

Does mean its a bad option though

Do you guys use weapons based on dark thirst?

Depends

Usually yes

#

But sometimes Im in the mood for a particular weapon, and sometimes the weapon that has dark thirst are the gauntlets

#

In that case, no

vapid grove
#

When you take a boon for a special/cast/attack is the next boon = chance to have an option to take over that other one?

#

Like if I take Ares Special is it less likely to get Aphrodite Special after that?

#

or same chance of getting Aphrodite Attack

vapid grove

Hunters mark with ||chaos aspect for the shield affect everyone hit by every shield?||

While I believe it might be less likely, they can still be offered as replacements for +1 Rarity. Especially so in Trial of the Gods rooms.

is there a hard cap on how many times you can upgrade it

I noticed for mid range people too.

It almost feels like the opposite of the old hitbox lmao. Narrower than the indicator rather than larger

manic bobcat
#

Yeah you are not the only one who notices. Some others and I myself did as well.

Just F10 in game, SGG is very responsive with fixes

I wouldn't be surprised if it was fixed already with the latest 20MB something patch

Nah, I think it's fine to be honest.

It's still very good.

I'm sad but I thought it was by far the best especially when you get those darkness chests, if you happen to have a chaos boon for darkness increase or dark thirst it had hte potential to heal for over 100 hp

Oh what happened to it?

marsh jackal
#

Has a lower hp convert rate so it's less strong

60% instead of 80%, iirc

AFAIK there are (at least) 3 scrolls for Zag's room though they might be tied to relationship levels or something? I know ||aphrodite|| has a scroll and I think ||dionysus|| too - definitely have one hanging in my room and 2 offered by the contractor.

@high island had to grab athena boon and she only offered attack/cast/dash boon 😦

You give the ambrosia to NPCs

does it do any different?

It unlocks more dialogue with people

is https://hades.gamepedia.com/ still the most up to date wiki site?

and can you even get that again?

#

also does that included in the fated list?

ive been trying to get it again for the ||chaos fish|| but it doesnt appear often... and when it does i dont get them shadegrief

at least i caught the slavug i was missing for the codex at last

i feel like i never see fishing points in asphodel

dang rare they are

oh right when i got it i spammed chaos gates

also, yeah you can get it again, the requirements are oceans bounty or sunken treasure

got to fish in one and got the jellyfish

i have got like 2 seamare in 20+ asphodel run

#

also, yeah you can get it again, the requirements are oceans bounty or sunken treasure

does the wiki have an updated boons requirement list for rare boons or duos/legendaries

Is it possible to beat meg on the very first run of the game?? or Is it meant to fail? 😛

sand stump
#

yes, but really hard hahaa

safe yoke
#

i think i beat her.

#

but had low health and no mid region fountain so i died quickly in lavaland

marble viper
#

@sand stump yes it is LUL I think i replayed like 12 times before I almost did it No luck so far haha

hearty torrent
#

@safe yoke The wiki's boon charts for the various requirements are not current. They were created for the patch just before the Technical Beta, and therefore the Blood Price, launched
@marble viper It is possible to complete an entire run on the first attempt. @terse geyser made it their mission for quite some time previously and managed it.

sand stump
#

when i first started, it took me ~ 10 runs to start to beat her 50% of the time

safe yoke
#

yeah didnt take me as long cause i got used to her but then they really mixed it up when ||her sisters decided to drop by|| and that really threw a curveball for me

marble viper

@hearty torrent oh, Well i gues I havea goal to reash then 😛 hehe

hearty torrent
#

I don't think the requirements for the duo boons listed on the wiki have changed (except for the Athena x Aphrodite on that got reworked to Athena x Dionysus) but the new Boons, new Duos, and many old Boons have different requirements now.

#

Is it just me? or does anyone else get only atheana on first run?

#

hehe

safe yoke
#

im just trying to finish my minor prophecies list. i finished athena all the way

so much athena i RARELY saw zeus or dio

#

@safe yoke same.. I restarted 10 times and 8 out of 10 onlt atheana haha I don't complaing but I was like damn 😛

#

On the First Run Athena is guaranteed to spawn as the first boon. While a few gods won't appear on the first run (the ones listed on the wiki as such are not accurate) some of them appear too, like Poseidon and Dionysus.

safe yoke

best begining run boon is hammer

marble viper

If I picked up Zeus special and I got a special damage bonus from Chaos, would the special damage bonus apply to the zeus damage or only to the special?

safe yoke
#

yeah but the barge ride is fun cause if you are decked out in boons it becomes a "im not trapped in here with you. youre trapped in here with me" moment

hollow heron
#

I always thought it was easy even when everyone thought it was hard winemerchant

safe yoke
#

yeah alot of people are stating that this newer update is "more difficult" and im like. naw it aint my skin it was bad boon rng

hollow heron
#

New update is more difficult

#

Like lol it's just buffs to enemies

#

It's objectively harder

safe yoke
#

that and ive been basing my picks off of minor prophecies so any boons that never syngergized with me before im taking

#

tbh i never noticed a spike in difficulty. but ive noticed im dealing more damage. specially to hydra boss heads

hollow heron
#

Hydra is more fun and probably easier imo

#

But Ely got even harder

safe yoke
#

naw elysium got chariots and bomb chariots. and THATS what makes it harder.

hollow heron
#

Nah lol Ely is hard BC exalted

#

And EM3

safe yoke
#

bomb chariots are ez if you have ranged

hollow heron
#

Just buy the well item that ||specifically prevents flamewheels||

safe yoke
#

what does a favor do?

safe yoke
#

okay so i got best girl dusa so many nectar now her progress hearts has a keyhole on it. how do i progress?

livid cargo
#

@safe yoke that means there is an event that has yet to happen between you and dusa

#

just keep talking to her after runs

hearty torrent
#

@carmine pecan It's essentially a Quest you unlock once your Affinity with that character has reached its maximum before the Locked Heart.

carmine pecan
#

do you gain anything or more lore and stuff

safe yoke
#

just keep talking to her after runs
for dusa. anything. best girl

hearty torrent
#

Certain characters will grant you a new item, and it unlocks gifting them Ambrosia to eventually max out their Affinity meter.

i think ima just keep dying and playing to find sisyphus

Hey, i have a weird question, but there was an item i was saving up for before in the contractor item list, then i took a break until this past update, and i think its gone? It was titled "Portrait, Lady" i think, but i don't rightly remember. Have they taken out items from the Contractor?

safe yoke
#

yeah i noticed soemthing too. i think i had an option for a aphrodite poster and thats now gone

hearty torrent
#

That item has been replaced yes. I believe it is the only one to have done so.

#

Aphrodite poster should definitely still be there, though its requirements changed so you might not meet them yet.

void vigil
#

wow, i bought the aphrodite poster back when it was 500 obol in a charon well

hearty torrent
#

Same shadesmile

#

Cosmetics have come so far since then

void vigil
#

right? sooo far... i have 8k gems and i dont think i can come close to buying everything...

safe yoke
#

i need more diamonds

#

GIB DIAMONDS

hearty torrent
#

oh definitely. Several items got a decent whack cheaper this update, but with all the new cosmetics being so expensive in their own right...

safe yoke
#

if only titans blood and diamonds werent so hard to come by i wouldnt be so afraid of using them

ancient tundra
#

Do you have to upgrade the contractor's table again to access the higher tier construction again? Like the diamond purchasing darkness gives +5 max health line of upgrades

hearty torrent
#

Ohmigosh the House Contractor can be Employee of the XXXX now! zagluv

ancient tundra
#

Aww they deserve it

hearty torrent
#

Yes you need to purchase the Deluxe Desk to purchase the Greater Room Rewards and Infernal Gates now, but it doesn't prevent the option from benefitting you if you had purchased them before the update. (though they will be hidden until you buy it)

safe yoke
#

idk i think he didnt really deserve getting employee of the XXXX when that belongs to cerby

ancient tundra
#

Urgh... I was scraping together my diamonds for the nectar upgrade...

#

Best boy is always the best employee, the Wall just shows second best

safe yoke
#

i honestly dont know what upgrade to get. i got the dark thirst upgrade giving me more gems ontop of more darkness but after that i dont know what to get and im scared of wasting gems

hearty torrent
#

Vintage Nectar is, imo, definitely the best option among the five. Though Darker Thirst is so nice for resource grinding...

safe yoke
#

yeah thats why i picked it up cause i like avoided gems almost altogether cause i got SO LITTLE of them before

hearty torrent
#

A free Pom for each Nectar (also works on Dio's boon nectar, though not bought nectar i think) is a true blessing.

#

I do really wish they would increase the amount of gems you get from each room reward.

ancient tundra
#

That feels a touch op in the beginning of the game tho so I get why it's so few

#

Maybe scale them according to heat/number of runs?

safe yoke
#

number of runs sure. but maybe let it cap, then increase cap by using heat?

#

granted i have yet to get heat maybe cause i havent beaten final boss yet

rugged glacier
#

can someone explain to me how the ask-supergiant event works? Will the #ask-supergiant channel be open when the time comes, and then we're supposed to put our questions there before it is closed again? Or do we put our questions somewhere else, and only the Supergiant team puts the answers there, after they take our questions from somewhere else?

hearty torrent
#

Just looked through the chatlog, looks like it gets unlocked during the Q&A, we send our queries into the void, it gets locked again, and the Supergiant staff team go through each question and ping the asker.

MAKE OFFERINGS TO THE PANTHEON OF SUPERGIANT FOR THEY MAY HEAR OUR PLEAS FOR DUSA PLUSH

Hey, I've been meaning to ask someone, the symbol on Charon's Obol, and many other places, I can't find anything on what it's called or if there's any significance to real world Greek mythology, anyone have any idea?

delicate crow
#

It's Hades' moustache. That's it

safe yoke
#

its hades beard

#

wait no stache

tribal silo
#

the stache that’s on everything in the underworld

#

he really likes that stache huh

safe yoke
#

do you know how hard it is to do a crisscross mustache?

#

and to keep it that way

copper adder
#

I should've known. If I had such a glorious mustache I'd definitely have it commemorated on any surface I could find

safe yoke
#

see thats what supergiant doesnt want you to know. weve already know the true ending and the reason zag is trying to escape.
hes trying to run away form the fact he'll never be able to sport such a glorious olympian mustache and attempts to leave hell.

copper adder
#

He can try all he wants, but being deprived of that mustache is a hell in and of itself

sooo I just pressed f10 thinking it would still bring up the bug report screen

#

it tabbed me out of the game and when i tabbed back in it made the screen a light blue just light blue I can't see anything

#

oh besides the save icon

#

did I crash the game?

#

bug reporter did pop up

hearty torrent
#

if you close the bug reporter i think it might fix itself?

patent topaz
#

send the report then everything is normal it happened to me

alpine mural
#

yea it fixed itself

#

sooo whats the chances of getting halting defiance?

#

or specifically defiance from chaos?

hearty torrent
#

As Chaos' Legendary, it's quite "rare" to get it to spawn.

alpine mural
#

lol

#

I'm talking specific % but thank you

hearty torrent
#

As someone who has been scouring the game's code for wiki editing purposes, I can definitely tell you that specific %s for getting Rare, Epic, and Legendary boon spawn chances is not readily available.

alpine mural
#

interesting

#

would you happen to know how to unlock guan spear?

#

asking for a streamer i am watching now

Started to do 32 heat for the first time after >100 hours of the game for the Skelly challenge.

Can't get out of Tartarus. Feels just like the beginning when I kept dying to Megaera.

It will take some time to get used to faster attacks. The weapon of choice (the spear) doesn't really help either.

Am I the only one fighting this new doomstone elite like blobfish

#

Those lasers

hearty torrent
#

The community has been loving the new difficulty from the Doomstone mini-boss from what I can tell, yes. Especially with how quickly the other new mini-boss can be taken down.
