tall turtle
#

yo can someone explain to me what winters harvest means when it says "shatter"

#

demeter legendary boon

high seal
#

they die

tall turtle
#

does it just kill the thing below 10%

#

ok

#

thats actually busted

past mirage
#

Let's say the odds for epic are 25% and rare 85%. Is it capped to 25:75 or relativized to 22,7: 77,3?

high seal
#

yeah its pretty busted

tall turtle
#

it legit just wiped final boss man off the face of the arena

#

actually now that im thinknig about it that might be my fav legendary

past mirage
#

It carries a lot of impact indeed. I have seen the argument that it equals x1.1 damage increase, which isn't necessarily superior to other legendaries, but it doesn't require any further prerequisites to work.

worldly sierra

So @deep pivot

What happens if I'm on a challenge run, and I never see a chaos gate, never given any of the Charon well items to buy, and the anvil does not show up... And I have video proof of it?

@worldly sierra You could try again if you'd like.

worldly sierra
#

☹️

#

This is such a good run too

past rune
#

@worldly sierra had the same thing happen to me. This is a very luck-based challenge so it'll happen sometimes

astral folio
#

I brought ||Redacted|| down!

#

THERES MORE?A

#

Welp

#

Feck

gusty slate
#

Brought who down

#

||Hades or Redacted pls :(||

astral folio
#

Ope, sorry. I was very excited

gusty slate
#

πŸ™‚

#

gj

astral folio
#

But then there was more

#

Even Hypnos doesnt know what killed me πŸ˜–

strange junco
#

what happens when i take a keep sake that gives me a god boon spawn in between the regions?

#

is my first boon of that god/

past rune
#

The next room reward option you get that includes boons will include that god's boon

brisk trail
#

you could get hermes instead though

#

in the next room that is

past rune
#

that effect of the keepsake will last until you pick up a boon from that god

strange junco
#

ok i just got hermes so i was confussed

past rune
#

yeah hermes is an outlier

strange junco
#

ok question.

#

granted i took his keepsake, but why has EVERY boon so far been dionysus

#

minus the one hermes

narrow hemlock
#

once you take a god's boon, they have a higher chance of popping up. sometimes they dont come back up again, sometimes its all you find

#

its all just chance

worldly sierra
#

The game is setting you up for his legendary when that kind of stuff happens @strange junco

cursive onyx
#

hey, where can i report a typo?

uneven dagger
#

how do I get the "Hades" role?

hearty torrent
#

Hit F10 in-game @cursive onyx

#

check #bot-commands's pins @uneven dagger

uneven dagger
#

ok

#

thanks :)

cursive onyx
#

oh thanks!

#

aw i have f10 mapped to screenshot

#

ah well, ill try and get it reported!!

buoyant merlin
#

Glad my feedback suggestion is being recieved well so far.

#

Hopefully it'd work well

#

I have to wonder: Whats gonna happen to all of the amazing forced death lines at the end of the runs after we get a real ending? I will miss them

hearty torrent
#

Narrator berating Zagreus for dying stupidly would be very much missed.

strange junco
#

so is buying titan blood going to be one of the main ways to farm it (from the 4th region)

#

titan blood seems really hard to get

brisk trail
#

I'd say climbing Heat is the main way of earning Titan Blood.

strange junco
#

i just unlocked heat

#

any suggestions on what to apply for my fist heat levle

#

was thinking boss move

brisk trail
#

Your favorite/best weapon.

#

That or work on clearing 0 Heat with all of your other weapons.

strange junco
#

i was talking about what heat modifiers

#

i was thinking new boss move

buoyant merlin
#

Traps is an easy one.

#

The first speed modifier is also not that bad and leaves you a fair amount of time

#

I never take the enemy health one because I hate giving ||Hades|| more health at the end personally

brisk trail
#

Identity of the final boss is a spoiler.

torpid walrus
#

does curse of drowning even work with exit wounds? why is it being offered while you have it

buoyant merlin
#

I really don't think it is when it's ||the title of the game|| and the entire premise is that, but sure. Why the hell not. (no pun intended)

flat vapor
#

final boss isn't named in the patch notes, and what is be obvious to you may not be to everyone

buoyant merlin
#

I mean who was it gonna be. Dusa?

#

Actually.. that'd be amazing

strange junco
#

do you get bounties from killing bosses with heat or is using heat the bounty

hearty torrent
#

Killing each boss on subsequent full clears nets you the bounties.

#

If you kill a boss with 1 Heat you get the 1 Heat bounty reward. But if you fail to full clear 1 Heat, you only get Darkness from that boss until you kill the Final Boss with 1 Heat. So on and so on.

#

If you haven't fully cleared 1 Heat but set the Pact to 2 Heat, the game treats bounties as if you're attempting 1 Heat on the current run.

main dawn
#

so that heat work for us to get the bounty again right?

brisk trail
#

Yes.

worldly sierra
#

You'll see what bounties you can earn on the pact itself

#

On the left side

#

Under the heat bar

main dawn
#

so you can just reset the bounty but with harder run then

worldly sierra
#

Only once you've fully cleared the previous heat level

#

You can't just keep grinding blood from the first boss by raising the heat

#

You can only earn the bounties after that

#

Until you've fully cleared that heat

main dawn
#

yeah i thought so, because the char keep telling me it's useless to increase the heat lol

worldly sierra
#

You can choose a different weapon and get bounties at the same heat though

#

Heat level is for each individual weapon

buoyant merlin
#

You can do it for fun, and don't worry it doesn't forfeit subsequent lower runs

main dawn
#

alrightt

worldly sierra
#

For example, you can raise the heat to 10, and if you haven't cleared heat 0, you can fully clear 10 times and earn all the bounties each time until the pact catches up with you

raw cape
#

Woo got my first sub 13 minute run on the fists

#

Funny how throw away runs can sometimes shape up to be the best runs

hearty torrent
#

Damn nice

raw cape
#

Fun weapon but easily the one I'm the worst with

main dawn
#

yeah the fist basic attack range is bad until you got it upgrade from daedulus

#

but that uppercut tho

raw cape
#

I struggle with forced overtime and benefits package

#

Extreme measures 3 too. I just cant dps hard enough without running out of time or I die trying to lol

worldly sierra
#

EM3 is the showstopper.

Very tough, even for seasoned players without the right build

raw cape
#

I'm gonna try and do a curse of drowning 32 heat run with fists. Might be the way.

worldly sierra
#

Middle management as well, if you roll the power couple miniboss in Asphodel

raw cape
#

Curse of drowning is so much fun

worldly sierra
#

They are arguably as tough as some main bosses

raw cape
#

Thanatos helps if you can time it right and get a little luck

hollow halo
#

winter's harvest is just fun to see demeter yell at redacted

raw cape
#

Does anyone know how curse of drowning works with Hera?

worldly sierra
#

With some cast weapons, certain duos are unavailable

#

For example... No lightning phalanx will appear for || Beowulf ||

#

Dunno about Hera

raw cape
#

I imagine it wouldnt show up then

#

Would be pretty broken if you could make curse of drowning ranged

worldly sierra
#

Or for all we know, when you Load the bow, you get curse of drowning, and when you fire the bow, you still get flood shot

next escarp
#

So knockback isn't very good in this game, not complaining it's just a break from most rogue-like games. I think the legendary of Aphrodite, her charm ability, needs an internal cooldown. I had absolutely no damage output but was able nearly stun lock almost every boss I encountered. If it wasn't for boss I-frames I would have made through the 65th level with only a 30% damage increase

#

from the base damage level

buoyant merlin
#

@sinful canopy I think thats the point. It's fun to "break" games sometimes sure, but I think Super Giant wanted a more collected and controlled kind of feel for builds so that players weren't constantly trying to rail in the rng to one broken strategy

misty girder
#

Hi, where do i report bug? 😦

sinful canopy
#

@buoyant merlin Hey thanks for the response! I get where you may be coming from, but in the games I mentioned, aside from Dead Cells during a few patches and maybe Binding of Isaac because I haven't played a lot of it, you can get busted in a ton of different ways. It was balanced because almost everything can be broken with the proper investment. So not sure about the "railing one broken strategy part".

buoyant merlin
#

You can press F10 in-game @misty girder

misty girder
#

Ok, thanks will do it tonight πŸ˜„

worldly sierra
#

Dunno why ppl call for nerfs in a single player game.

It ok to have legendary boons be op.

You don't get them often, and even when you do, you don't always have all the support boons to make full use for them

next escarp
#

The RNG is kinda of a nightmare when it comes to boons though. Although I can say every Duo power has been really GOOD but nothing totally busted as of yet, granted I've seen like 4 of them so far

fading gazelle
#

cough Ice Wine cough

sinful canopy
#

And that is the thing, their individual power level feels fine. I think once you learn how boons interact with each other though they should work together in some pretty disgusting ways, but right now it seems like there are too many caps on what boons are able to do with each other and hammers and aspects.

buoyant merlin
#

Doesn't one of them just make you take 5 percent less damage and not get stunned

#

and it's only from bosses no less

worldly sierra
#

@buoyant merlin that's || unshakeable mettle || and it's way better than you think it is

#

On high heat, it saves you many times

buoyant merlin
wind nest
#

There are busted combos in thei game but not every general combo of stuff is effective

next escarp
#

Charm locking bosses into their attacks not hurting at all is pretty busted

#

let alone just randos

worldly sierra
#

Yeah, with high ROF weapons I agree it's kinda busted

sinful canopy
#

Is there a specific boon/hammer/aspect combination you could mention that is actually busted? Because I am not saying the combinations are weak, like sure they are strong, but in comparison to every other roguelite I have played, the peak of their strength feels fairly tame.

#

The charm with any rapid-fire attack is the closest I think yes in terms of "Bustedness".

worldly sierra
#

But the chance to charm is only 15%.

Feels busted because of how many hits you can land with fists/certain bow aspects, rail

white monolith
#

zeus feels pretty busted if you can get all the synergy up

worldly sierra
#

Mono Zeus is indeed super powerful

next escarp
#

Both times I've gotten Aphrodite's Leg I had the Boon that makes yout basic attack into 3 strikes. Once with the Spear, the other with the fists

worldly sierra
#

But again... It doesn't happen often because of RNG

fading gazelle
#

A full synergised Arty build on Hera is extremely broken

next escarp
#

the entire screen was charm locked with the spear

worldly sierra
#

|| Lucifer rail || + Zeus attack is borderline busted

#

Chaos aspect shield is straight busted with everything

#

Take any boon on special except Artemis and you roll just about any heat

next escarp
#

i HAVEN'T TRIED THE SHIELD. i'M TRYING TO GET EACH ONE OF THE rEWARDS FOR THE WEPS, VIA THE HAMMER UPGRADES

#

sry caps

fading gazelle
#

NP

worldly sierra
#

ALL GOOD BRUH

#

TASTE THE FURY OF CAPSLOCK

next escarp
#

Can you always avoid the Floof fight?

sinful canopy
#

I think you guys keep hearing "Can it clear high heat?", when I am actually saying that I think the game should be more lenient with how you can combine effects and powers, not because I think the game is too hard, or that builds can't compete, I want the potential for sheerly broken disgustingness like you can experience in other roguelites for the pure euphoria of it. At my absolute strongest sure I beat the boss, but the game isn't about beating the boss.
It's chasing that high. I want them to raise the potential ceiling on what we can accomplish. Not because we need to. Because we can.

worldly sierra
#

Fists with ares attack and Athena dash + merciful end is very strong

#

Can do the same with the sword if you get flurry slash

next escarp
#

I mean specifically with this game, sometimes you just get unlucky from the RNG and Boons. When you have no Damage upgrades but a ton of reduction, it just gets super tedious

#

I had like a 45% damage reduction on one run from abilities I was a tank with a nerf bat

worldly sierra
#

Athena call + Hermes second wind if you use the Lambent Plume trinket is insane strong

#

You can facetank everything

sinful canopy
#

@worldly sierra Mudamuda Fists with Lambent Plume is definitely one of my faves.

worldly sierra
#

Lol... Mudamuda?

white monolith
#

zag aspect?

next escarp
#

The Fists feel like Monk builds from d3. High IAS and Dodge chance

worldly sierra
#

I use Demeter aspect most times

next escarp
#

Chill is super good

#

but not like. broken

worldly sierra
#

I can show you a || Beowulf || mono Demeter build that is auto win if you get it

#

Was so strong

buoyant merlin
#

Thats why i love the fists

brisk trail
#

that one sword improvement that gives damage based on money is pretty great

raw cape
#

Pretty meme-y low heat hammer tho

#

But yeah it is fun if you build around it

severe owl
#

Hi everyone, new to this server, so this question may have been asked many times before, but here we go. Dont you think shield's defence is kinda against the game design? In my point of view battles in Hades are close to those in the latest Doom - they are about constant movement, and everything is built around it, but defence allows you to just calmly stay and rest, with shooting hammer's upgrade it's even worse. Is it so, or I am wrong?

raw cape
#

You can add time restrictions later on after you complete your first run

#

Forces you to be more aggressive.

#

And if you have fun playing defense then more power to you. It is a non-competitive single player game after all

severe owl
#

Yeah, I know about timer and play-how-you-want-to, but this detail just feels wrong

raw cape
#

Well it feels fine to me. Nice to have a weapon that is a bit easier to play even at higher heat.
I've personally never felt the mechanic to be game breaking or make it much better than the other weapons

#

I also dont think it encourages defensive play if you know what you're doing

#

(As in you shouldnt need to camp behind your shield)

white monolith
#

i think the shield helps you learn a lot as well

strange junco
#

is the 4 aegis aspect in the game? I've talked to chaos like 6 times with chaos shield no luck

azure jasper
#

do you have 5 titan bloods sunk into upgrading the shield aspects and the 4th spear aspect?

strange junco
#

i have chaos shield to level 4, I don't have the spear aspect

azure jasper
#

you have to unlock the 4th spear aspect before you can get any of the others

strange junco
#

how do you get the spear aspect?

azure jasper
#

same way, but with achilles

#

5 blood into upgrades

glad cobalt
#

shield
nice to play a weapon that is a bit easier to play
be me
shield is the toughest weapon to play with

strange junco
#

ugh really turning me off how slow you earn titan blood

azure jasper
#

speaking of which, what happens if you skip heat levels? do you get the rewards for the lower ones too or does do you have to lower it to get the bounties?

glad cobalt
#

...cough ||Mods|| can help with that, Mike. >_>

strange junco
#

is there a save editor i can use to just tack on blood

glad cobalt
#

IDK, I get too worried that I'd miss out, so I've never tried it, Shadow.

azure jasper
#

same. i don't want to lock off bounties by skipping them

glad cobalt
#

Nah, but there's one that has the option to increase resource gains by multipliers, Mike.

strange junco
#

guessing nexus?

flat vapor
#

you only earn bounties one heat level at a time, but there's nothing stopping you from doing higher heat runs

glad cobalt
#

For Titan Blood, I think its default setting is x3. Yeah, you're looking for MagicGonad's, uh.. crap, I forgot the name.

flat vapor
#

you're never forced to increase your heat level

#

you can adjust how you wish

azure jasper
#

so if i skip 1 and 2 on a weapon and do heat level 3 i get the bounties for 3 and then can go back and get 1 and 2 by clearing on those specific heat levels correct?

flat vapor
#

no, you get the bounties for heat 1

#

if you clear successfully, then you can go and get the bounties for 2

azure jasper
#

oh i see

#

cool

flat vapor
#

bounties can only go up the next heat level if you clear a run, btw

azure jasper
#

ty

flat vapor
#

πŸ‘

glad cobalt
#

@strange junco The name is Magic's Edits. You'll need a couple of their other stuff to get it to work, though.

strange junco
#

yeah that's why i was asking if there's just a save editor

#

i found it, a lot of stuff to do

glad cobalt
#

The process of getting it working sounds complicated at first, but it's really just a few downloads put in the right spots and running the Python script.

strange junco
#

is there any other way? i don't like install python just to use it to mod hades

#

it's a waste

glad cobalt
#

Not that I know of, no, sorry.

#

Python isn't a big install, though. Should only take like 5min, max, if you go that route.

brisk trail
#

@strange junco use cheat engine. the value type for this game are double

strange junco
#

wont' some online games like lock up if cheat engine is even installed on your pc

brisk trail
#

iv never had an issue. just don't use it during multiplayer

shy jolt
#

I was once offered the Hermes boon that boosts your attack alongside your speed "Side Hustle" when I had no buffs to speed available. The only other Hermes boon I had was healing after a botched dodge. I did have the plume, although that seems a little overpowered if the buff would be applied 100% of the time.

white monolith
#

just wanna make sure, but delta chamber bricks hestia right?

coarse junco
#

Nope

white monolith
#

how does it work?

flat vapor
#

you can still manually reload

white monolith
#

oh that's cool

#

now i wish i tried it out

flat vapor
#

eh, delta chamber itself isn't great anyways

#

a lot of the attack hammers for rail don't affect the empowered shot either

white monolith
#

i had piercing shot and it was amazing haha

@mystic arch , this channel might be better

#

I really like it too. I love games where you dodge fast and attack fast, so after I saw one gif of Hades I was sold. 110 hours later and I'm all in.

mystic arch
#

Ohm, youre right, sorry about that

high island
#

All three of your feedback posts are fine, actually.

raw cape
#

Does chaos's +%special damage affect Zeus's lightning bolts?

#

I assume no but just double checking

high island
#

No. It only affects your Special's base damage.

raw cape
#

That's what I figured. Thank you!

buoyant merlin
#

How? They weren't feedback.

flat vapor
#

positive feedback is still feedback

buoyant merlin
#

Fair enough.

#

Though if I started posting positive feedback I'd just flood the channel. It's really tempting to put it in my top 5 indies, but I'm restraining myself until it's had longer to simmer in my mind

#

and of course for an actual 1.0, though the game feels really complete already

rough token
#

Ah, Boss Door, you might want to specify "Attack" and "Special", since people often use different keybinds, or like me use M&K and don't know the Controller bindings

On basically anything except shield or 4th sword, without Athena those things are a nightmare

topaz crystal
#

I feel like that it's not fair that the Volcano-spittting main hydra head basically covers the entire back area with lava when the smaller heads are spawned.

#

It's an invitation for 'get stuck and reach the dps cap for Zag' me at least.

buoyant merlin
#

so for the longest time I thought Zag had a black eye piece over his face similar to phantom of the Opera until I realized it was just the shading

cobalt anvil
#

It's not that bad imo. You can always trick the head to shoot lava at a spot then leaves. I play with mouse & keyboard and move only with keyboard but I've never had any problem with it

topaz crystal
#

It's a particular attack. It either covers the area under it or in the inner area w.r.t the pillars or the entire area outside the pillars.

buoyant merlin
#

Anyone here played Children of Morta? It looks really good and it's on sale. Looks like Hyper Light drifters combat

So you know already. Yeah it's way easier so don't get discouraged. Try a few more times and I'm sure you'll do better

sturdy oasis
#

can anyone explain how rare crop works

#

it selects a single boon to ''cultivate''?

worthy egret
#

Resets a few(?) of your boons to common, and they go up in rarity every few encounters

fading gazelle
#

It gets better and better

#

Like it drops it to common and if you go through enough chambers you have a heroic boon on your hands

sturdy oasis
#

is it random if it selects a single or multiple boons? it says ''boons'' in the description but it only says 1 in the description

buoyant merlin
#

depending on the rarity of cultivate itself

#

I think is what determines how many it effects

sturdy oasis
#

ah i see, so text isn't the most descriptive ^^

buoyant merlin
#

@cobalt anvil I like your profile picture. Can you send it to me? I have a folder of fantasy landscapes

sturdy oasis
#

is there a difference in naming between ''ability'' boons and passive perk boons?

buoyant merlin
#

I do not think so

sturdy oasis
#

ok thanks!

buoyant merlin
#

Though the ablity ones appear on the black bar

sturdy oasis
#

yeah

buoyant merlin
#

Anyway:

Calling it now. Hades 2 cover art will have Zag and Anime Reaper back to back with mount Olympus in the background because the second game will be about climbing it.

sturdy oasis
#

thats why i thought they were maybe called something else

buoyant merlin
#

The second game always has another playable character and that character always appears on the cover

Hey guys I was wondering do any of you know roughly when the games next update will be?

buoyant merlin
#

Wow people really don't care for my thoughts on the bow in feedback.

#

It's planned for this year, that's all we know so far. It'll be 1.0 though

kind field
#

Hmm alright thank you!

buoyant merlin
#

yep yep

cobalt anvil
#

@buoyant merlin I have tried Children of Morta before. Loved the art style and the narrator's voice but not a fan of the gameplay

buoyant merlin
#

Noted. Thanks!

buoyant merlin
#

I thought I was still able to do the three part standard attack combo for the sword after I got the "hold standard attack to strike rapidly" hammer upgrade

#

or at least I could've sworn

#

unless the latest update changed something

cobalt anvil
#

No it has always been the first two attacks in the sequence

buoyant merlin
#

Thought that if you still pressed them rapidly it'd do the normal sequence and if you held it down it did the first two

cobalt anvil
#

Interesting. I have never tried to pressed rapidly. Guess I'm not eligible to answer your question

twilit void
#

question - if I have to go to work is my only option to leave the game running and paused? or can i quit or something and save where I am

zenith rune
#

You can quit and it saves as long as you quit in a room after an encounter or without enemies. May be wrong though

#

In terms of the scenario

hearty torrent
#

When you enter a chamber, before taking damage you can choose "quit" from the pause menu. It'll make a temporary save from the start of that room you can come back to later.

zenith rune
#

I think @hearty torrent 's explanation is more accurate

twilit void
#

Ok I’m in the shop before the third area boss

#

So I can enter the boss room and quit?

hearty torrent
#

You can probably quit and it'll set your save to the beginning of that room. It won't save what you've bought, but it's a save.

twilit void
#

The quit is grayed out

#

I should have enough time to beat the boss though

#

So I can quit after

zenith rune
#

I think u can quit when u first enter the boss

#

room

hearty torrent
#

Then yeah, go into the arena and see if you can quit as soon as the dialogue is over.

twilit void
#

First run with zags fist I didn’t think I would like them this much

hearty torrent
#

Or before the dialogue starts if it'll let you.

twilit void
#

Thanks guys

#

Thanks people

buoyant merlin
#

Guys AND people

#

Double whammy

hearty torrent
#

guh, finally got enough information to add new Sneak to wiki

twilit void
#

Lol

#

So if I get offered a β€œcall” boon and I don’t believe I have a call, can I still pick it up and does that give me the ability to use them?

#

I guess I don’t get that part

#

It feels like I’m being offered a boon for an ability I don’t have

#

Is that a summon?

worthy egret
#

Picking up a Call gives you the ability to use it

#

It's basically asking a god for help, it makes sense that you cannot use this until you are given the option to by a god

twilit void
#

Ahhh so that’s like a one run thing

#

But a summon is what you get by building relationships with people?

#

Does that take the place of your regular keepsake?

hearty torrent
#

Chthonic Companions are summons you can use a specific number of times per run.
Call boons are offered by Olympians, and can be used once they've charged up. The "God Gauge" increases as you deal and take damage, allowing you to use your Call after it fills each bar or when you've maximized the gauge for a greater effect. However the gauge depletes fully after you clear a chamber.

worthy egret
#

Companions do not take the slot of your Keepsake, they have their own slot.

#

Also, only a few characters can give you a Companion

twilit void
#

Ok so I should try and get one ASAP? I have three ambrosia

ornate wyvern
#

You need to exhaust a log of dialog and feed them multiple nectars

twilit void
#

Oh well

ornate wyvern
#

So it's not like you'll have on after 5 runs

twilit void
#

I can start working on it now

worthy egret
#

And then exhaust even more dialogue

twilit void
#

I want Thanatos

worthy egret
#

don't we all πŸ˜”

ornate wyvern
#

Thanatos best girl

twilit void
#

Ahh I didn’t even realize I just had to get a call boon to be able to use a call

#

I thought I had to unlock an ability

glad cobalt
#

TFW people gunning for Thanatos companion when I've yet to meet 'em even once. shadedisgruntled

worthy egret
#

I knew i was supposed to meet him 'somewhere later in the game' from a friend so i just forgot about that and played

#

And then it happened

glad cobalt
#

cries in at least one clear with all weapons Later into Heat?

worthy egret
#

And i may have had my wig taken

#

oh damn youre p late

#

I think i met him like

#

Uhhh

glad cobalt
#

Uh, ye. XD

worthy egret
#

About 40~ runs in so depending on how fast you were?

glad cobalt
#

I only met Eurydice for the first time like... after halfway through clearing with each weapon, I think?

worthy egret
#

Cause i beat the game at 50 because i was scared of the ending and didnt exactly aim to beat the final boss

glad cobalt
#

But that one may've been me not realising I had the chance before then.

worthy egret
#

You need to get some luck on your side

#

You'll meet him im sure

glad cobalt
#

Yeah.. and I've yet to see Eurydice since the first time, so no Keepsake from her yet.

worthy egret
#

Soon enough

Well, I don't exactly play flawlessly.. xd

I wonder if other gods have a specific aura to them like Than does

glad cobalt

"Death approaches"
Oh, you're approaching me?

Or maybe its just Zag who can sense Than before he arrives

Anyone else’s least favorite weapon the gun?

worthy egret
#

puts hands on the gun so it can't hear

#

:(

#

You're speaking to a gun main

glad cobalt
#

..I like the gun, but I've been loving Sword Aspect 4.

worthy egret
#

Sword aspect 4 is great

twilit void
#

So far my favorite runs have been the spear with flurry jab, bow with twin shot and some Zeus boons

worthy egret
#

Spear is my least favourite weapon coincidentally lmao

twilit void
#

I unlocked the Chiron bow but I don’t think it’s very good unleveled

glad cobalt
#

The Shield has to be my least favourite weapon, tbh, and then the bow.

twilit void
#

I think shield and gun are my least favorite because shield is so weird to mainhand and gun is just eh

sharp parcel
#

@twilit void try Zeus attack with the rail

glad cobalt
#

...mostly because I'm not very good with them, to be frank.

twilit void
#

I’ve only done one attempt with the gun so I’ll definitely be trying it again

torpid folio
#

i hate the shield but have the best record with shield

#

...

worthy egret
#

I enjoy Chaos/Zag shield, Zag/Hera bow, All rails except Hestia who i didnt have a chance to properly try out yet, and Talos and Zag fists

glad cobalt
#

RIP Aurry? XD

worthy egret
#

I dont play spear but when i do its Hades aspect for spite points

twilit void
#

I need more Titan blood to level the Chiron bow

glad cobalt
#

For my favourite Rail, of the ones I've tried, it's the reload-for-damage-boost one.

worthy egret
#

Sword i like all aspects

glad cobalt
#

Because.. I'm a habitual reloader.

worthy egret
#

Posei i didnt have a chance to try out properly

#

Ill get to Hestia once i level L

glad cobalt
#

I tried Poseidon Sword when I built Demeter cast.

twilit void
#

What’s the fourth bow aspect? What does the suffering do or whatever

worthy egret
#

All the affected get damaged for a bit if you hit one of them

#

Just keep shooting pins like a porcupine

twilit void
#

Ah so like aoe/crowd control

#

Is there a tier list anywhere

worthy egret
#

Ive only played Rama twice though so dont take it from me

twilit void

Chiron bow was pretty meh at level two

hello . heyred i just download the game and after i opened it i read a message unable to save

Tbh rama feel like ||lucifer|| lite to me.

twilit void
#

Is there a tier list anywhere?

fading gazelle
#

Tier list of weapons and its aspects?

outer comet
#

Why do you need a tier list? I think, with how aspects and such work in this game, it might be redundant :P

fading gazelle
#

I don't mind makin one for fun tho

void vigil
#

there is one you can make yourself, but its a little outdated (from the long winter update)

fading gazelle
#

Im on it

hearty torrent
#

with the exception of Aspect 2 Shield, any tier list will be fully subjective.

#

Aspect 2 Shield is just OP.

outer comet
#

... Kinda.. Ish

#

I don't think anything is downright OP in this game.

fading gazelle
#

cough Ice Wine cough

void vigil
#

id say its still subjective, bc some people might not be good with the shield as they are with other weapons? thanthink

hearty torrent
#

It's very very good maxed out. But yeah, On a weapon scale it's preference.

outer comet
#

I certainly aren't.

#

Pretty sure my first victory was with Stygian xD

hearty torrent
#

Just among shield aspects Aspect 2 is the best, though Aspect 4 seems like it's got a mixed reception for a 2nd place?

fading gazelle
#

Same

void vigil
#

my first victory was back when hydra was the final boss, but im pretty sure it was also with the sword

outer comet
#

Fair

fading gazelle
#

I whacked the final boss before I unlocked anything dusa

hearty torrent
#

I've yet to use it myself, but I've seen both positive and negative feedback on it.

outer comet
#

Aspect 4 shield might be my favourite, but that's my cast bias.

void vigil
#

i play fists almost exclusively now tho, theyre so fun

#

i used to be a bow main.... ;__; i suck now

hearty torrent
#

Sword is my favorite though yeah.

outer comet
#

Sword is just so versatile

#

It's great

#

Also Alma, Athena Fists..

hearty torrent
#

Every Aspect of Sword feels good to play, even though they have very different playstyles.

outer comet
#

The way every word in that sentence is capitalized

hearty torrent
#

alma ought to be lower case

outer comet
#

I agree Yuki.

void vigil
#

lmao i feel it though

fading gazelle
#

Poseidon aspect feels so bland compared to the others

outer comet
#

Hah.

#

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

#

+50% cast damage would like to have a word with you

fading gazelle
#

I mean comparing it to Truck and Zoom it really isn't that great

hearty torrent
#

Exit Wounds build for Poseidon is crazy as heck. Poseidon + Full Artemis built is nutso.

fading gazelle
#

Ahh

outer comet
#

Absolute crazy

fading gazelle
#

I should have specified imo

outer comet
#

Yeah

hearty torrent
#

Fully Loaded Arty Cast, into Exit Wounds, then Poseidon Special, rinse repeat.

outer comet
#

I've never gotten Fully Loaded ;~;

fading gazelle
#

Sad

hearty torrent
#

I managed to spec straight through the Arty Cast -> Exit Wounds + Dual Shot -> Fully Loaded before Blood Price dropped.

outer comet
#

Yeet

hearty torrent
#

now i dunno how to grab fully loaded anymore...

fading gazelle
#

Lol same

#

I used to get it so consistently with Hera

hearty torrent
#

I can kinda read the game code for boon reqs now but I needs Peach's charts shadegrief

outer comet
#

Fully Loaded with Arti cast and Hera...

#

Anyway I should stop thirsting over builds given I had to refund my mirror for || a certain 8888 darkness upgrade || so I have very little to play with xD

#

One death defiance ;~;

worthy egret
#

Love sword aspects

fading gazelle
#

Sword is so balanced that makes its so fun to play

#

Zoom is so much

hearty torrent
#

Lol, I got lucky this is my pre-Beefy update save, so the mirror respec only lost me Fated Authority

worthy egret
#

The Zoom, The Angery, The Shotgun, and The Truck

outer comet
#

Lucky Yuki

#

When my electricity comes back I'll show what my mirror is like atm

hearty torrent
#

Sword Aspects:
Zoom
Crit
Exit Wounds
Truck
All are fun in their own right.

outer comet
#

Poseidon with Stygian Soul is totally valid

fading gazelle
#

Really?

#

I feel that it would make it super under whelming

hearty torrent
#

Same cannot be said for any other weapon, though I think the 3 for Fists are pretty good.

outer comet
#

If you manage to get multiple casts it is pretty beast with the recharge, yeah.

hearty torrent
#

You can still Exit Wounds with Stygian Soul.

outer comet
#

^

hearty torrent
#

unless that got changed

worthy egret
#

I love the zoom part of zag aspect because just. The thought of Zag picking up his fully awakened weapon and immediately his urge to run around and never sit reaches its maximum

outer comet
#

And if you manage to get multiple casts you stack bloodstones faster and better for one, and if you have Fully Loaded and Artemis you are literally just... SPRAYING.

hearty torrent
#

but yeah, Hermes cooldown plus maxed Stygian can sometimes put more Bloodstones in a foe than pre-Fully Loaded Infernal Soul

autumn pagoda
#

Get all Revenge boons in one run is lovely. tianLove
Btw, rarely taking them - so probably missed one, l have: Athena, Aphrodite, Ares, Demeter, Zeus - that all right?

outer comet
#

It's my dream build but it needs so much luck.

worthy egret
#

Hades: How do you know that weapon would fully bond to such a little brat.
Nyx: He's been zooming around the house for ten hours without stopping once.
Hades: ah truly is his aspect

hearty torrent
#

I kinda wish Zag's Aspects were more focused on his Hyperactivity Disorder, rather than just: Minor improvement to base weapon.

worthy egret
#

I mean

#

Fists and sword are

hearty torrent
#

Yeah I basically just meant the ones where his aspect is kinda bad.
Like make it so Zag Shield's Special flies faster.

worthy egret
#

I kinda like the damage reduction on it tho like. Boy's tough

hearty torrent
#

Zag Sword and Zag Fists are good Aspects, but the others are really lackluster.

worthy egret
#

Makes me curious why all of zag aspects are just stat improvements

#

I mean gameplay wise i get it

#

But story wise scritches chin

hearty torrent
#

p much

worthy egret
#

Zag:
Zag: are my weapons calling me basic

fading gazelle
#

Infernal Arms: Yes

hybrid tangle
#

do people use the special on fists? seems really lackluster

fading gazelle
#

I use special alot

#

Its a good combo ender

#

Also when using Talos Aspect with Poseidon its hilarious

brisk trail
#

Talos aspect special is very good

fading gazelle
#

Yeah

hybrid tangle
#

ah

high island
#

Dash-Upper, yes. Regular Uppercut, not really.

hybrid tangle
#

whats dash upper

high island
#

If you dash and press Special.

#

It's faster with less recovery than the regular Uppercut, so it's a lot safer to use. Lower base damage, but it's affected by any Dash-Strike damage +% you get, so the damage can go very high.

hybrid tangle
#

ah

lofty dragon
#

I love dash upper, gets pretty spammy though

fading gazelle
#

I just love imaging how Darren recorded conversations with Zagreus and Skelly. He just talks to himself back and forth

topaz crystal
#

I think they take a bunch of dialogue of a character and do multiple takes until they're happy. There isn't an actual dynamic conversation going on. Or so I think.

dusk maple
#

hi guys, can somebody tell me how to unlock new rail and bow aspects?

fading gazelle

@dusk maple 5 titan blood into each weapon and talk to zeus for rail and artemis for bow

brittle blade
#

Just picked the game up on steam sale. Wew it’s fun. However, it’s making me realize how badly I want this on switch and rougelikes are... rough to restart. Is there any chance that if (when?) it comes to switch that there will be cross save support somehow? I’d double dip in an INSTANT.

winged bear
#

@brittle blade when the 1.0 release comes, a lot of people may want to restart to make sure they didn't miss any narrative arcs or changes that may have occurred since early access

#

so if you're planning on making a restart, might be worth saving it for a platform change?

gusty slate

Fresh v1.0 save will be quite a fun time to relive the story

Still hoping that I will kept my save from bΓͺta.
Will be sad to loose Γ  save worth 300h

Hm, I don't see why our save wouldn't be kept

hybrid tangle
#

theres no rough date on when v1.0 is coming yet right? just this year

#

well depends on whether the save is cloud or on your desktop, if its on your desktop you can make a copy, though not sure if this is against tos

narrow hemlock
#

@nocturne rampart #hades-faq states that devs aim to not wipe saves

worthy egret
#

Yessss

hearty torrent
#

Beowulf and Rama Aspects are fully listed in wiki, tried and tested for damage numbers against Skelly.

hearty torrent
#

YES! finally got a second Chaos fish

jaunty marsh
#

is there a limit of titan blood u can earn on each save?

novel wasp
#

Not really

#

you can farm indefinitely

#

but the heat challenge stops giving you reward at around 20 i think?

quaint bramble
#

Not as far as I know, since you can buy and trade for them. There is an upper limit to what bounties give you.

floral shore
#

Yeah, after 20 no more bounties.

#

But you can always trade up with the broker, get stuff from Styx shop or Chaos fish at an incredibly poor chance.

cold hinge
#

How much titans blood to max the aspects?

floral shore
#

51 per weapon (minus fists).

jaunty marsh
#

depends on weapon and aspect
from 5 to 20

#

51 per weapon (minus fists).
@floral shore wow really?

floral shore
#

It's 5 + 15 + 16 + 15 for every weapon except the fists, where the final one is missing yet.

cold hinge
#

Well that obviously goes over the 20 heat bounty cap

#

And very likely over my skill level

floral shore
#

Yeah, but you also get a fairly large chunk from prophecies, plus you get way more Ambrosia than you need from the bounties and prophecies, so you can trade up there as well.

#

I maxed out all the weapons and have enough blood stashed to max out the final fists aspect immediately, and haven't completed all the bounties.

cold hinge
#

Oh wow

#

I always feel like I’m gonna be needing more resources, suddenly I have no use for keys

floral shore
#

Keys is generally the resource that you run out of uses for the earliest, Nectar too at some point.

#

You can always trade them up though, so there's that.

brisk trail
#

Excited to see what they do for the ending

floral shore
#

100 keys is a blood.

hearty torrent
#

(mostly)

cold hinge
#

Timed deals for keys need to increase based on # of clears or something

hearty torrent
#

very rarely you can snag a blood for 15 keys

floral shore
#

Yeah, that right there is a reason to never drop below 15 keys, it's a killer deal.

#

85% off.

#

Have to admit I'm close on completing the bounties though, so I'm not miles off. Shield and Fists are done, Rail is one off from done, Sword two, Bow and Spear four each.

hearty torrent
#

easily best deal the broker can offer

floral shore
#

So you need to farm a fair amount of bounties.

#

But it's entirely possible to max out everything well before you run out of bounties.

cold hinge
#

I’m still picking whatever weapon has dark thirst

#

Bc I have so much to max on mirror still

floral shore
#

Yeah, I just pick whatever I feel like running now. And I've mostly given up on the bounty running, I don't really need much and I just suck with bow in particular.

cold hinge
#

The bow doesn’t feel as fluid as the other weapons to me but it was still my first clear and I am consistent on it

floral shore
#

I just stink with the bow in general, very much unable to both aim and dodge. Also either the game got more difficult with the last patch or I just got worse, can't exactly tell.

#

It has always been my weakest weapon though. First clear was with the fists.

cold hinge
#

Only one I haven’t cleared with yet is Varatha, which is surprising bc that was my first big break up to Elysium

floral shore
#

It's worth trying it, getting out with each weapon once fulfills a prophecy that gives you 10 blood straight up.

#

For Varatha... what you do with that thing tends to depend on what hammers you're getting.

cold hinge
#

Ngl some hammer upgrades seem antithetical to a certain weapons play style

#

Like fists slow 3 jab

coarse junco
#

I find Hades Aspect the aspect that I find the easiest to use

#

For spear

hearty torrent
#

yeah, the hammers dictate varatha's playstyle more than boons. at least until you get the hidden aspect.

floral shore
#

Zag aspect has it's perks too.

#

Achilles plays quite differently than the others.

cold hinge
#

Hidden aspect seems bad unless you’re really good/ wanna be in all the time, or unless it’s maxed

floral shore
#

You need GY maxed out, otherwise you're in for a hell of a ride.

cold hinge
#

I use Achilles bc I’ve put 0 blood into Zag so I get no buff from it

floral shore
#

Achilles can't get the Exploding Launcher hammer though, which is really, really good.

cold hinge
#

Didn’t know certain hammers were locked behind aspects

#

Maybe I’ll try Hades

floral shore
#

There's a few that are incompatible with certain aspects.

cold hinge
#

Even though I hate charging

floral shore
#

Like Exploding Launcher doesn't work on either Achilles or Guan Yu, as the first one needs the bull rush thingy to function, and Guan Yu essentially has a built-in Exploding Launcher anyway.

cobalt anvil
#

I have never used Hades even though I've play for over 50 hrs4

#

It just sounds so bad in theory

hearty torrent
#

There's a learning curve to used Spin Attacks well enough to benefit from Hades without leaving yourself open.

cobalt anvil
#

Yeah I prefer Guan Yu. It's just so good overall. It's base damage is enough even in Elysium and that's crazy

#

Best special pre-nerf

coarse junco
#

I’d say the only point where it’s not ideal is during the final boss. But by then you should have enough options to make it work

cobalt anvil
#

I don't think many people realize that the only way to increase your base damage is through Daedelus Hammer upgrades

#

Everything else scales with base damage

#

So the reason Charged upgrades and Explosive Launcher are so great is because they essentially triple or even quadruple the base damage

coarse junco
#

Huh... so that’s why my special seemed to be hitting for harder once I got the charged bow special hammer.

raw cape
#

New consecutive hits special hammer for bow is fantastic on Chiron

cobalt anvil
#

Beowulf's special is also nuts with Charged Throw. +400% increase base damage makes it insane

#

I once crit for 5k damage with it

lavish comet
#

I have a question on game save wise

#

I have passed Asphodel and I want to exit the game, will the save return me to the same place before I quit (in passage between asphodel to Elysium) or throw me back to my home?

old plover
#

It will save you in the most current room cleared or hallway between

#

from my experience

floral shore
#

If you press quit you will return to where you are, if you press give up you will be yanked to the house.

old plover
#

just don't select give up

#

you have to wait until it lets you choose quit

lavish comet
#

Alrighty, and thank you! 😊

#

I am fired up for real to fight Theseus (again lol)! 😑 But gotta take a break for my eyes lol

gusty slate
#

Good 'ol Elysium best area in the game..

i think the most annoying thing about elysium is having to kill exalted twice, so it adds to how much longer it is. though i have my days id rather suicide a run in elysium than go trudge through satyr tunnels and finish a run

at first I thought L was going to be T.E. Lawrence and I was like "no that can't be it, surely not a 20th century british soldier"

worthy egret
#

Elysium is just

#

Shield dudes

#

Bow dudes

#

Those make me so mad

#

And while spear dudes have their moments the rest of the stuff is fi-

I just remembered chariots and flame wheels

#

Nevermind

azure jasper
#

The enemies of the zones come with the attacks of the boss from that zone and those guys are buttholes so

floral shore
#

Chariots are just something my monkey brain cannot handle. I have no idea how to evade those dudes properly. It's crazy.

azure jasper
#

Use the shield and hold left click at them. Its the only way that works more often than not lol

floral shore
#

Yeah, but on average I'd say I can do that in slightly more than 1/6th of the run, on account of lacking the shield in the others.

fading gazelle
#

Oh we shading on Elysium?

#

Yo Elysium SUCKS

floral shore
#

I do kinda like the challenge it presents, it's just too long imo.

They could snip a room and that would be perfectly fine.

flat vapor
#

i will also agree that elysium sucks

#

shield dudes aren't even that bad anymore, i've learned to hate elite spears and elite bows now

narrow hemlock
#

the most common complaint about elysium is that it is indeed too long

azure jasper
#

I think its just the types of enemies are hard to handle quickly

narrow hemlock
#

honestly my complaints about greatshields tapered off significantly after they got nerfed january, the biggest issue with them was their extremely limited vulnerability period

fading gazelle
#

TD whoops your butt

flat vapor
#

at least the minibosses aren't really that bad

floral shore
#

Asterius can be fairly terrifying.

fading gazelle
#

Yeah Asterius and Butterfly ball are pretty consistent

#

Unlike a certain power couple in Asphodel

flat vapor
#

asterius can be terrifying but there's no chance of being stunlocked by 5 ranged asteriuses

#

elite bows on the other hand...

floral shore
#

Power couple is a bit annoying because it's the only miniboss fight that becomes significantly more challenging with MM active.

flat vapor
#

i'd say MM megagorgon is the hardest miniboss in the game rn

fading gazelle
#

Absolutely

flat vapor
#

or, at the very least, the most frustrating

fading gazelle
#

Do the witches change on MM?

lavish comet
#

Ah yes, the megagorgon... -SOBS VIOLENTLY-

fading gazelle
#

I haven't noticed the difference

floral shore
#

Don't think they do, at least I haven't noticed.

flat vapor
#

maybe? i haven't turned off MM this update yet

fading gazelle
#

Lol same

floral shore
#

Wretched Shade becomes a little bit harder because he doesn't spawn the wringers without MM.

flat vapor
#

they probably should though, i doubt sgg would just skip over them

fading gazelle
#

Yeah

#

Doomstone is such a pushover

#

And he looks so scary

floral shore
#

Ton of lasers though.

gusty slate
#

Nice spiderweb of lasers to get caught in

fading gazelle
#

You can usually smash them pretty easily and he just becomes a megasnake stonte

flat vapor
#

oddly enough MM can make doomstone easier, since it has the turret in the middle

fading gazelle
#

Wait that's what MM does?

#

That is so underwhelming

flat vapor
#

non-MM doomstone is just a big room

fading gazelle
#

Still

#

sgg should spice up MM Doomstone

#

That'd be nice

#

Cause he looks super cool

rough token
#

Oh yeah, I should actually see what the new minibosses look like without MM, I turned it on before the update and haven't turned it off xD

fading gazelle
#

Ikr

#

It's just a custom for us at this point

rough token
#

Ooh, does it affect || Charon ||?

fading gazelle
#

||Sans|| is treated as a boss if I'm not mistaken

#

So I don't think it does

rough token
#

Aight

narrow hemlock
#

counted as a boss and not a miniboss/elite, yes

rough token
#

Still, I think I'll do a 0-heat run just to get a feel for the base game xD

#

Because like, 5 heat wasn't much of a difference, Just a bit harder

#

But 12 is a noticeable difference

fading gazelle
#

32 is an interesting difference

rough token
#

XD Yeah, I remember that from the 36 I ran a month or so ago, died to the Heroes

gusty slate
#

Only on 15/16 heat here lul, 32 going to be a tough cookie

fading gazelle
#

I just died in Tartarus so many times until I found a good set of punishments

#

All the Best!

rough token
#

Yeah, for the most part I'm sticking to 12 rn

#

Once I'm solid there I'll bump it up to 20 or so

floral shore
#

After pushing bounties for a long time I've found it to be quite relaxing to just go down to like 5 heat, farm some darkness and just absolutely destroy the jerks. It's carthatic.

narrow hemlock
#

sometimes having fun is just relaxing and being overly powerful

gusty slate
#

Do the bounties cap at a certain heat?

narrow hemlock
#

20

fading gazelle
#

Yes 20

gusty slate
#

Mhm, gotta get 20 on all weapons first then for me

fading gazelle
#

That gives about a maximum of 252 Titan blood from the bounties alone if my math is correct

gusty slate
#

Sounds about right, want to max all the aspects

narrow hemlock
#

its not enough to max everything from bounties alone though

gusty slate
#

Well of course, on the way there I'll pray dealer has 15 key for blood deals xD

#

Always a pleasant surprise after dying stupidly

fading gazelle
#

its not enough to max everything from bounties alone though
Is it not?

narrow hemlock
#

p sure its not

fading gazelle
#

Its about 242 titan blood to max out all aspects if I'm not wrong

past mirage
#

The total (including the not-yet-released fourth fist) comes up as 306.

fading gazelle
#

No?

#

It's about 41 on each weapon

floral shore
#

5 + 15 + 16 + 15.

fading gazelle
#

Oh shoot lemme fix my math

#

My bad

narrow hemlock
#

lmao

flat vapor
#

basically we need more blood

fading gazelle
#

AH shet

#

Make it up to 32 heat pls

#

we need more blood

#

Charron isn't enough

past mirage
#

Prophecies give a decent amount, 26 if I recall it correctly. The rest has to be procured by other means.

floral shore
#

Don't forget you also get a chunk from prophecies, and you get more ambrosia than you need from bounties and prophecies.

narrow hemlock
#

just use the broker like the rest of us that arent gonna climb high heat for one reason or another :v

fading gazelle
#

Lol fair

floral shore
#

I mentioned this a bit earlier but I didn't fully complete the bounties and still fairly comfortably managed to get more than enough blood and ambrosia for all there is to do with it.

#

And I didn't buy from Styx shop once.

fading gazelle
#

Ooh?

#

Broker I assume?

floral shore
#

No, for the blood mostly trading up Ambrosia, don't underestimate the metric ton of Ambrosia from the prophecies. You get so much.

#

Broker gave me like... four blood-for-keys deals or so total?

fading gazelle
#

So it's pretty balanced

#

Fair I guess

floral shore
#

I completed most of the bounties though. Missing one on the rail, two on the sword and four each on bow and spear.

fading gazelle
#

So just shield is maxed

floral shore
#

Fists too.

fading gazelle
#

Oh yeah

#

Damn I'm bad at remembering stuff

gusty slate
#

Never enough blood

#

Are there plans for another weapon?

rough token
#

Don't think so

floral shore
#

Fists will get another aspect at 1.0, otherwise no further weapons.

gusty slate
#

Mhm okie dokie

fading gazelle
#

Please don't murder me because of my opinion

rough token
#

Is that Chiron in D tier or have my eyes stopped working? :p

#

(it's quite possibly the latter, by the way)

fading gazelle
#

Nope your eyes be good

rough token
#

Hmm

#

Then I disagree with that, but otherwise looks reasonable

fading gazelle
#

Why so?

flat vapor
rough token
#

Chiron has really high single-target damage and doesn't require perfect aim

vagrant hinge
#

hello sorry i'm new n i don't wanna intrude on any conversation but y'all keep sayin "high heat" n stuff n i don't know what that means? have i jus not played far enough yet or is that like a pro gamer term?

flat vapor
#

heat is a difficulty system you'll unlock later

rough token
#

It's a term for something after you beat the final boss

vagrant hinge
#

ohhhhhh

#

thanks, sorry for interrupting

rough token
#

No worries!

#

We're pretty chill here

fading gazelle
#

Anyways

rough token
#

Hahaha

fading gazelle
#

Back to the topic at hand

#

I mean comparing to the other aspects, Chiron is really bland man

#

That auto aim ain't that cool after you try out Hera or Rama

rough token
#

Haven't tried Hera yet so that's fair, I'll a bit split on Rama. I can't get the special do really work, unless they've fixed the dash bug with it

flat vapor
rough token
#

Where you dash in the direction of aim, instead of input

More chaos fishes!!!

fading gazelle

What did Ruin do?

DOUBLE NOVA BUFF????

LET'S GOOOOO

#

ruin was +% trap damage

wind nest

So does anybody know what the chaos drop rate is now?

sage marten
#

Higher than before

#

Still nothing about Tight Deadline/Styx.

fading gazelle
#

Oof

#

I'm more concerned with TD on Elysium more than Anything

rough token
#

And on that note, time to go get breakfast xD

#

Cya!

fading gazelle
#

But yeah not 3 cycling on Styx is essentially a dead run

vocal thorn
#

The Elysium TD question, from the recent Q&A session got ignored too. It's not a priority. shadegrief

fading gazelle
gusty slate
#

Hm, haven't tried using TD lol. Kicks in my anxiety

fading gazelle
#

I got used to it early

vocal thorn
#

But I guess they felt the need to make it even more difficult for controller users to hit the urns with ranged combat, because they removed all the auto-aim from them??

fading gazelle
#

Yeah that is sad

#

Why?

sharp parcel
#

the issue was that the AA would auto-lock on em when they spawned

fading gazelle
#

Oh

#

I see

sharp parcel
#

there's nothing stopping you from blasting em yourself

cold hinge
#

Yall hatin on Eris> the design slaps

#

?*

flat vapor
#

the design is ugly but in a pretty way

#

but it's still ugly

fading gazelle
vocal thorn
#

Except if the boss is somewhat near the urn, and the boss auto aim overrides my attempts to hit the urns from ranged

sharp parcel
#

utility > looks

fading gazelle
#

Yo my boy Lebron James got Both

sharp parcel
#

I used to run Eris a lot but time has shown that extra bullets beat gimmicky buffs

flat vapor
#

rail has better designs, like zagspect or L----

cold hinge
#

currently nothing I have is upgraded so having some buff is better than straight nothing

flat vapor
#

hestia is.... ok

fading gazelle
#

ITS SO NORMAL

sharp parcel
#

I know some people like Hestia, I don't

gusty slate
#

I pray for shotgun rail with hestia

vocal thorn
#

It my most used, since it doesn't need as many in-game upgrades

fading gazelle
#

More ammo is much better

flat vapor
#

hestia isn't like ugly but it's...

gusty slate
#

It's a bit awkward for me

sharp parcel
#

Hestia doesn't need any boons or upgrades

tardy tendon
#

Hey guys, it seens i have already all the requisits to get the Rama aspect, but for some reason i'm not being able to get it, can someone help me?

gusty slate
#

May take some time to get through required dialogue, also RNG

#

Took me many failed attempts to get Excal because of required dialogue lol

#

As an example

tardy tendon
#

wow, i see, thanks

gusty slate
#

If only I could bribe the keywords out of them with ambrosia

#

Although that would then infer that I get them so drunk they have their visions

tardy tendon
#

that would be both funy as also nice

gusty slate
#

"Hey Achilles, here's 3 ambrosia.... want to have a drink?"

#

Although. Everyone in the game can really hold their alcohol...so probably won't work

rough token
#

@torpid walrus (from #hades-feedback ) I don't think sarcasm is going to help get your point across, I had to read that a couple times to understand it. And if it wasn't sarcasm, then I'm even more confused

#

Sarcasm has it's place, but I don't think it belongs in feedback

quaint bramble
#

It was lol, OP was throwing shade at the style of balancing SGG has gone with. I agree with OP that some past decisions have been dubious but it’s an iterative process. The game still has many months and many patches until it ships.

torpid walrus
#

Tbh this has been the style of balancing for everything so far. A boon is overpowered in one particular scenario? Let's nerf it across the board to make it okay in that scenario, even if that boon starts being terrible in all other cases.

#

Also, sorry you got confused swan dragon

does hermes attack boon stack with gun's secret aspect?

It should

its not very clear from gameplay thats why im asking

Faster ticks?

i have infinite chamber so i cant really see it

Oh it might build up faster

lost jasper

it doesnt build up with infinite chamber

More chaos fish thank god! I think I've seen like 2 and the first one was from the fishing patch where everybody got the (at the time) new legendary Poseidon boon pretty much automatically

gusty slate
#

Chaos fish no existo 😦

lost jasper
#

and i think it wouldn't affect ticks directly

crimson canopy
#

10% might be hard to notice thanthink

vague zinc
#

How does the reward from chaos fish change though? No more titan blood, diamonds, etc?

worldly sierra
#

@torpid walrus you may be unaware, but they already nerfed Zeus lightning proc rate to 5x per 1s.

If they reduce it further, it loses value. The only solution is to reduce the weapon aspect abilities

#

Prior to the lightning nerf you should have seen that thing go.

vagrant flint
#

Where can I find portraits' files in the game folder?

torpid walrus
#

I've used it post beta nerf and it still machine gunned everything to death in seconds on a level far above any other god special, which were far from nerf worthy, clearly the answer was to address the Zeus special instead of making the other gods worse for no reason.

#

There were more issues with other god boons on that weapon than just Zeus

@torpid walrus the developers of the game, of which I am one, read every line of feedback entered into the channel. Can you clarify your feedback? Did you try the changes pushed recently and found some aspect of them falling short?

The autolock change is not a β€œnerf” β€” it is a usability change.
