I have to admit Than is a bit less skully than I was expecting after seeing Skelly lol
I was expecting more bone
I mean thanatos as a god was never skully iirc
Yeah I’m just thinking of most popular media depictions of death
well, it's just modern representation of Death with a scythe
As a hooded skeleton
Charon-like look and all that
i wish Than had his wings and torch
At least he sorta has the wings when teleporting
And has his sword
can someone join a server for me
huh, playing hades with controller amkes it easier
the game does say controller is recommended on the main menu lol
well, walking only in 8 directions hurts
on the other hand, it's easier to aim and shoot
...untill you start to lose cursor in all this mess
Yeah, the cursor can be hard to track in the insanity of some encounters
Me who plays w a mouse n keyboard:
there's a bright cursor option in settings
i kept track of my cursor more after turning it on
I dont usually lose sight of my cursor
can you not fish in elysium
You get a higher chance of the roomset listed appearing as opposed to resource rooms
I believe
boons/poms/hammer rooms instead of darkness/gems/nectar chances
ahh ok
Man just encountered a weird glitch (already
) where the Greatshields are moving so slowly either they don't actually walk, or they stutter step menacingly like a Silent Hill creature towards you

Hello there
ahahahahahahaahhaahaha
I just gave the house contractor a new table and he has such good stuff
for diamonds tho
You || make the game harder || xD
and that? I guess
aspects?
I don't have all the aspects nor do I have the mirror fully unlocked
You have to unlock every weapon(also gl with the mirror, maxing out everything is 177,000+ darkness)
To be fair, neither do I xD
I have all the weapons
Nice
I don't have them all maxed
I prioritized them when I first started
@brisk trail nah
Now that I beat the game once what do I do?
@burnt lantern you have two options, stop playing and wait for 1.0
Or you can climb heat
I don't like the mirror upgrade alternatives
On upgrading all the mirror stuff
I don't like the mirror upgrade alternatives
@burnt lantern Same, but it looks nice to have them all maxed out(plus there's a prophecy for using them)
I'll just focus on the default ones. They're the best from what I've heard.
Post game stuff are not for everyone, but if you are playing a roguelite then post game is where people hang out more often.
Try Forced Overtime 2.
I'll max them out in the future. Thanks for the recommendation.
Follow up to the
apparently Wretches and Theseus have the same problem as the Greatshields did
Yeah max out the ones you are using first
There are a couple weapons that you shouldn't max out though
Because they are good as is
The only green one I use is family favorite, the rest are kinda bad
@manic bobcat what shouldn't I max?
Some others need maxing out asap
Well yeah, but I've battled out of tartarus with every weapon
after first clear you’ll understand better
First clear?
Shouldn't max:
||Nemesis Sword, Arthur Sword, Hera Bow, Lucifer Rail||
If you don't know what the above weapons are then don't worry about it yet
okie
I did my first clear already
beating the final boss for the first time
What weapons do I want to max
Is it something about the Pact?
Oh okay
Weapons like || Chaos and Chiron || aren't good unless they're maxed
what play styles do you like
Max ASAP:
||Hades Spear, Cabos Shield, Chiron Bow, Demeter Fists, Hestia Rail||
max asap asap: ||zag sword||
@manic bobcat I wasted most of the blood I got on Zag spear by mistake
I'm the big R-word
Misread the description
btw you can reload a save to get it back(as long as you haven't gone in the room afterwards)
I thought it gave range and speed to attack
But nope it was for the special
Anyway I already said this before
Is heat the one where Theseus ||rides a chariot?||
What is heat and all this
post first clear unlock, ||difficulty system||
nah I don't want to hear It, I'll find it(hopefully)
Honestly just make it past your first run and everything will be crystal clear.
||provides a stream of late game resources||
Like I'll ever beat the game smh
Lol you will
I haven't started a run since I beat the game today
@brisk trail bro the spheres will align trust me
You'll get some CRAZY boons one run
Ez win
I got two duo boons same run lmao
one of my walls starting out was the tartarus miniboss lol
I got some crazy boons once, but it was on my 3rd run so I died to theseus
you’ll get there
Theseus 3rd run is like really good
I've gotten to theseus and bull 3 times in 20 attempts
My big walls hmm i remember Meg, Power Couple, Asterius and elysium boss
My biggest walls were Hydra and Theseus
Deltaaaa
Now they aren't that hard
Hydra didnt wall me that hard i mean i died to it but i dont remember dying to it that much
I hated it because I didn't know its attacks and it kept changing forms
I die to it a lot
Last phase roughy
when there's no safe space is when I die
The changing form is new actually
I had an issue w hydra where i just started panicking
Previously Hydra only has one variant
It's cool that the main head switches with the others
Once i got myself to focus it was fine
Each one has different abilities
Hi where do I report a bug? I have softlocked my save file and it doesn't work on reload
ty
Every time I get to it I have no death defiances(maybe I should get a second one?)
If its a minor bug, 
F10?
Do get a second Death Defiance
I will then
Or if you only have one defiance anyway invest in Stubborn
I got the third one today cause they give you 1000 darkness for beating the game first time
Oh, I have screwed it up in a way that none of the buttons work, so I think I'm going to head to #h1-tech-support. Thanks
The only thing I can do is Alt+F4
1000 darkness felt enormously much once and now it feels like nothing

When my mirror is asking for 10 000 andjd
got used to the subborn defiance
yeah that sounds like a tech support issue, good luck
My mirror is demanding ||25k|| darkness...
@worthy egret what costs 10,000...
Don't scare the new people please
Who's your favorite person to give nectar to
everyone
@brisk trail Sisyphus
Cause they best girls
@burnt lantern very late late not even important stuff that works as a darkness sink, dont worry
Hades
ares
looks directly at my name
I like giving it to sisyphus because he gives nice dialouge
@worthy egret I ain't worried
Who is tatz
the broker
Is that new?
Best is ||Bouldy||
fox sleep with one eye open
Bouldy. He will always take your nectar. No "maxing out" nonsense.
xD
sgg pls ban ares
Best is ||Bouldy||
@gusty slate I can only give it to sisyphus tho

@brisk trail keep on doing that. Sisyphus' companion is clutch
^
1.0 update: we feel like Ares doesn't fit in our narrative
So we removed hin and put Apollo in instead
@brisk trail you get ||Bouldy|| from Sisyphus
Bad
good bye doom effect
apollo is worse
@brisk trail don't worry just give him nectar and then ambrosia
I want ares to tell me to keep fighting
See what happens
||Shady|| is pretty RNG though... took me forever
Goldre you will be spoiled if you hang out here long enough xD
Something VERY epic
i want ares to give me impending doom
Ares asmr
aresmr
Guess I'll leave until I beat game once bye
Lmao
My first bond was Than
Yeah, come back though
than was my second
We love you
xD
@brisk trail we love you man
Good luck!
asmr: ares tells you softly to kill dead people
Dw I'm just going to move to #h1-for-new-players
Ares ASMR mixed with some Chaos
spoilers: zag ||dies||
Moving on from royce bracket asmr to ares and chaos asmr i really leveled up didnt i
I dont even like asmr
Chaos has the coolest design
I jist like jokimg about it
Onyx, that's the endgame spoiler omg
fav ares line: ||"May all the death you bring become the stuff of legends told in fearful mortal whisperings around the world, my kin."||
Why did I look at that spoiler
How do yall sleeping on Meg ASMR?
MEG ASMR
Like how
I LOVE HER VOICE
because while i love meg, she simply cannot compare
@manic bobcat LMAO I SAW THAT
Honest typo xD
ironically enough the only person not sleeping on meg is hypnos
Megaera is the only villain Zagreus can relate to
But funny nonetheless xD
I want chaos to softly tell me to drop myself into the abyss
The rest are all weirdos
loveable weirdos
theseus 
I will not stand for this tisiphone slander
theseus!
Stay true to her
THESEMAN
Theseus is insufferable (though I heard he gest better)
i was a theseus stan since his inception 🤧
THESEMAN MANSEUS
A fricking bull
theseus has some of the funniest dialogue in the game
He gets funnier
Then finally the ||narcissistic god of the underworld||
Theseus is Asterius' stand
If Asterius doesn't swing so hard I would like him
backwards
theseus grows on you
But he is my run ender
@manic bobcat shield
Companions are Zag's stands
it’s a cycle of loving and hating tbh
Try EM3 for the ultimate Theseus experience
Uses Battie STAR PLATINUM
em3 is just theseus but manic
They look too cutesy for stands lmao
FoxHope that's not ultimate, you gotta slap on extra damage and hp too
Come Blackguard
You havent lived until ||you are run over by a chariot while youre also being shot at out of two golden miniguns. And theseus is laughing like a happy child the entire time||
I'm scared
woah woah woah, spoils much
nononon you have to join the cult
Come we have nectar
I'm tempted...

Ah yes onions, the best item ingame
Schnitzel...
No swearing in the cult
I will join the cult tomorrow

I'll do my first pact run
Join the pain
The elite in the cult do Hellmode though
Hopefully I don't get my arse handed to me
Just go straight to Forced Overtime 2 Extreme Measure 3
NO
That's da way
This is the way
The maximum I take to clear encounters is 4mins
Am i not in the cult until i have done that
Pact is cult initiation
sweats intensely
If it's not boss
FO scares me
It's the intiation process
max js max cp max td
NO
Let the heat flow through you
Cults are for satyrs with rat hairdo and sinus infections.
Lords of Cinder...
IM ALREADY HOT ENOUGH THANK YOU
FO and EM are pact only?
Yee
very little
you start out with 5 forced heat conditions, one of which being a hell mode exclusive option
Hell mode makes you run with at least 5 heat, remove Mercy Invincibility, and force you to increase difficulty level for each successful attempt
Tldr it's not very different than Normal
normal saves start at heat 0, hell mode is heat 5
except you can emulate most of hell mode in normal mode anyways so
Isn't hellmode the hazing initiation?
Past 1 clear, Hell Mode is basically Normal Mode save for Personal Liability
Whats personal liability
personal liability and less flexibility in how to choose heat options
and you also miss out on an entire level of heat rewards
Whats personal liability
@worthy egret it removes Mercy Invincibility
normal mode has heat 0 bounties and ends bounties at 20
I'm already on a blood shortage
@gusty slate Please see a doctor
Aka the shield you have when you receive heavy damage
When you get hit you basically don't become invincible for a second or so
hell mode starts at 5 and ends bounties at 25
you don’t get the extra heat 0 bounties like normal mode does
but @worthy egret there are no quacks in the underworld 
Good night!
screw yourself up to go back to status quo basically
Styx: how. How are you missing an arm. How is there a hole in your chest.
Zag: i had a rough one
Rail doeswonders
Theoretically yeah
kaboom
Yup
You can do 1k damage easily
Zag is a glass canon confirmed
His defiances tho
The easiest way to actually one-shot yourself is || Hazard Bomb after getting a Chaos Bane to drop your health to almost nothing ||

they fade out after a while
hehe ty
Ancient Art*
No no that's cave man stuff
Well I am not, what are you going to do about it
That's not hope
disappeared because my lizard brain gripped me with a sudden primal urge to do something terrible and i present it thusly: 
Hahaha
Man, anytime I see Theseus I jus get flashbacks to Brave and the Bold Aquaman.
all of my trash posting here has culminated to this very moment
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀🗨️

"Hold, fiend! You'll walk not one more step toward the light of day, so long as I am here."

now i feel at peace
To respond to that...
hahaha

wait do limited time offers change when you exit and re-enter the game?
don't think so? should only change inbetween runs
I exited the game after purchasing a diamond and it changed
i will give you my theseus png 😂
Sponsored by Pauper's
BRUH another bug I have no proof of
I mean, at least they updated the tooltip so you know
lmao no joke
BRUH another bug I have no proof of
F10 it still, describe the bug
What happened?
The description sometimes can be enough
And yeah, do that
I mean, at least they updated the tooltip so you know
at least i read tooltips now, earlier i opened a healing chest while i was full
I had exited the game after purchasing a limited time offer and it was different when I came back

Did you walk into another room before you quit?
for some reason when i play the game today almost all the voices aren't heard. except hades which is oddly disconcerting
Audio bug
Also check #h1-tech-fixes
Hit that
and smash that submit button if you encounter a bug
hey guys generic youtuber here be sure to smash that
buttom
Scratch that, I definitely didn't enter another room
I just did a factory reset... is there a way I can get my save back? lol
Like a disk wipe?
Whoops
Factory Reset
Wrong message
did you backup files?
usually documents are backed up if you do make a backup,hopefully?
If you wipe your hard drive then uh the save is gone locally
I've factory reset my PC before and all the games I play are saved
Steam Cloud might have it though
That might just be because I play Blizzard games lol
Oh then yoy are good

games that keep your save data locally do not retain that data though, because you've deleted it
Check Documents/Saves Games/Hades
If there is a profile1.sav in there
You are good
Check that first before you make another save
So you don't accidentally overwrite anything
i like. obsessively back up everything before i do a wipe bc im not taking that risk to lose anything, cloud save or no rofl
Well I really only play games on my PC
I accidentally deleted all my memes clip for Hades
Now I need to cut them again zzz
Same tbh
and school websites but ya know those have servers
yeah most of my gaming is pc too though but like. i use my pc for many other things as well. im just saying i back up everything i find important just to cover my bases
but also being locked out of my pc and nearly losing everything on it one year did wonders in instilling a healthy cautiousness of 'i need to keep everything backed up' rofl
I have a laptop, a desktop, and an external drive
I have copies of all the things I love in there, save games memories, etc.
It's weird that 30GB of stuff contains info about the last 7 years of my life
whats this for
it's better than trusting internet clouds, when everything can happen to them
If you get ||poisoned||, you drink it
It's to give Zag his missing vitamins
Also please mask that image just in case it's spoiler
can I request an estus flask for that soup
I swear if someone says Hades is a "Soulike" game I'll explode
It's a cliche and inaccurate
God-like is a better term here!
Wait why would people call this a soullike
That being said, Estus flash for healing would be nice
That's why I have ||Shady||
Wait why would people call this a soullike
Well this is kind of a made up concern, but comparing games to Darksouls has been a trend, especial last year.
it's souls-like bc there's swords and stuff, and it gets dark sometimes
I love Darksouls (really I love Bloodborne)
I'm crap on controllers so haven't tried Darksouls
If a boon gets replaced does it get replaced by the same rarity every single time?
exchanges? they should always be a rarity higher
ah nice
And they keep the pom level, too
is the dash-strike affect by "attack bonus" boons?
yes, it's considered an attack
Square rectangle situation
༼ つ ◕‿◕ ༽つ
Aw man, I'm a big kid now.
i couldve last round but got greedy in the temple, and died to some ||satyr||
Now I need to play even more. 25 hours in and I did! I'm excited for the full release.
Climb those heat
For funsies try Extreme Measure 3
darn it, i really need to beat the game
I really underestimated how good Poseidon Call can be if you get the supporting boons
whats your favorite keepsake
Does artemis dash strike dmg bonus affect dash-special using the Fists?
"each time you attack, get hit" thanks chaos
for me id say that i like the hermes keepsake
kinda is with dash
i feel like evergreen acorn is sooo good, at least until i get good
i like hermes keepsake because of the buff u get from murderring rooms fast
makes u want to go fast saves time and get a buff if u do it righ
right
i feel like evergreen acorn is sooo good, at least until i get good
@tepid plover lol fun fact literally every best player I know use Acorn from Elysium onward
Or at least from the vids they posted
Every. Single. Run.
Block 5 Boss attacks
the eurydice one
i got it
whats the difference between a boon going up a rarity and gaining +1
i think rarity makes it so it is stronger and has better upgrades i think but im new
So rarity is tier
+1 makes it better with that tier
Example
Common Hunter Dash is +50% Dash Strike damage
oh also boon points per rarity i saw on wiki like u need a certant from each god and then u can get a duo
right?
+1 gives 40% for epic
think rarity as the base number and level as an increase calculated off that number
If this makes sense
levels give diminishing returns as well
Yup, exponentially decreasing, 40% of the previous bonus.
oh also boon points per rarity i saw on wiki like u need a certant from each god and then u can get a duo
@hollow lagoon yes. You need certain requirements for Duos to show up.
For example for Heart Rend you need some sort of crit from Artemis (not Pressure Points) and a weak from Aphrodite
So on eurydice is worth getting rarity instead of +1
i always go for rarity
Frequently, yeah
When would you go for +1 instead?
When you have several boons that will benefit from a bonus level, or you already have your core boons high rarity
makes sense
also when you're trying to get a boon to level 10 because why not
So on eurydice is worth getting rarity instead of +1
It highly depends
Both are good.
You kinda need to know what you want and what you have to use the higher rarity option
Otherwise just click +4 level
Also if you have a guaranteed chaos gate coming up, you could take the next 3 +rarity
||once youve given 5 nectar to someone, does it still give you the option to give them more?||
dont know if it was a spoiler so i marked it anyway
what was the keyboard shortcut to send a bug report again?
got it thanks
o7
any benefit to hell mode other than higher difficulty
Bragging rights
Personal Liability
Hell Mode is not that much harder than Normal Mode due to how the Pact system works
But you gain exclusive access to Personal Liability, which removes Mercy Invincibility.
That's the biggest difference
is there a handy duo boon guide to learn their prereqs
the wiki should be mostly up to date
is there a limit as to how many boons you can have?
nope
Is there any tips or tricks to aiming the gun special with a controller? I can never aim it right
isnt there aim assist
It sorta locks onto someone but if you're moving or aiming at all when you shoot it it feels like it just kinda goes wild to me
can you get duo boons through cycling with the fated stones
assuming you have the prerequisites
yup
Hades smashes desk BOI wasting my gems
+1 gives say +15% (not real number) for common
Epic Hunter Dash is +100% damage
+1 gives 40% for epicthink rarity as the base number and level as an increase calculated off that number
@manic bobcat @flat vapor @tepid plover that is not how that works. Rarity and pom levels are additive. An Epic Hunter Dash will always give exactly +50% more than a common Hunter Dash of the same level. The first pom on a Hunter Dash will give +15% regardless of rarity.
so the red border of the screen is just telling me im low hp or?
Correct.
alright thank you
lol when i went to elysuim zag said is this what the out side world is like i was like u are sadly mistaken if u knew what was going on you would be crying in your bedroom
is delta chamber good
for gun
seems like it lowered my damage last time but maybe not
not really, it's a dps loss in exchange for infinite ammo
once you really get into the rhythm of reloading and watching out for your ammo, delta isn't as great as it seems
but tbf, reloading is annoying
The eyeballs in elysium don't respawn enemies
wdym
like
the eyeballs just float around
But they never respawn as enemies
no matter how long I wait
huh, there should be weapons on the ground that they're eventually attracted to
could be an unintended behavior resulting from some factors
i'd go ahead and f10 it just in case though
yeah they should be trying and moving towards them to respawn
they can be a little floaty but they shouldn't be straight up ignoring them
oh and same for the elite butterfly room
you know how it just spawns a bunch of eyes
They don't turn into anything so it makes the room way too easy
Makes the floor not fun
definitely a bug or some unintended behavior
in my experience those eyes respawn really quick
could close and restart the game and see if they fixes them
honestly i'd just take the easier elysium that place sucks
do blade rifts work with the aspect of rama
Will reinstalling wipe my sav
No, Goldre
cool
oooh
@hollow lagoon please spoiler the last boss's name
| | spoiler | |
no worries!
delete the spaces of course
just fought ||hades|| for the first time
thanks for spoilering it! and congrats on your run
thanks
i failed miserably
i got him down to || second phase || and then under half hp this time and it was my first
😉 did you notice the connection between ||the new god|| and the ||end stage||?
hades undead beauracracy stimulator
😉 did you notice the connection between ||the new god|| and the ||end stage||?
i did now
yup, at least according to mythology, SGG might take some liberty with the story, idk
yay
the true ending won't be released until full launch
i saw others play
I saw Northernlion play
And I was like I'll bite
I saw a trailer for when the fists came out, and then a saw a friend playing which reminded me
48 hours in first week
Now I want to play a similar game 👀
Yooo, same, roguelite streamers introduced me here too. Plus I already loved Bastion
Yeah Bastion helped.
I thought oh so this is just Bastion combo in a roguelite game
Still haven't played any of their other games. All of which are on my list
Ik it's much more
But it sure resemble Bastion a lot
Still haven't played any of their other games. All of which are on my list
Having tried all of them, and finished Bastion and Transistor twice, I can say that Hases kinda spoiled you xD
is the billowing strength icon a reference to "your approaching me?"
Bastion is really fun.
lol i just used stubborn thing because my max hp is 150 and my hp was 44 so i gained 1 extra life
But I can't get back to it now that I'm used to Hades combat
lol
is the billowing strength icon a reference to "your approaching me?"
@buoyant merlin i never noticed tbh
is it bad i find the stubborn defiance or whats its name really good
Nope, not bad
why do people use death defiance
Because they're less worried about dying in individual rooms and more worried about bosses
i die in rooms alot and iv lost because i couldnt regen my hp in aspo
Reviving more than once in a room is more flexible than only once, even if that once is infinite.
but i can fix that easy by dying each room\
Well I choke hard in boss fights
and restoring more hp
So I default to DD
XD
There's nothing wrong with SD, just a different playstyle
But I use SD exclusively under certain conditions
Spoiler so I'm nor getting into it.
XD i mean if u have like 2 dd imo i find it worse than sd partly because of the reason if u are low in aspo u are gonna have trouble staying alive if u are not that good at the game really and can heal to a thresh hold or save your self each room
XD
Yea I’ve heard more than once that S.D. is helpful in the early (earlier) game because it’s much cheaper than all three DDs
I used it even after I cleared the FB for a while
i also choke much less
with it partly because i dont have to worry about my hp or death defience
which keeps me calm
by hp i mean like im high hp alot until i hit hard hard room bull or just bad
nuuu
i crashed
Profile1.sav
Nope, delete the old Profile1.sav
why do i have less darkness?
Because it reverted your save because you didn't do it right
it has 1 less escape attempts
Exactly
The temp save you renamed needs to be exactly Profile1.sav, so delete the old Profile1.sav
ty fixed
(social links spoilers)
Wait I can ||romance death? Oh geez how will the furie take it||
very well actually
was the game just updated?
likely bugfixes
when you boost the shield so its special can hit an enemy +4 times does that ever cause it to hit a single enemy more times like in a scenario where there's only one enemy?
good question not sure
I'm curious, what made you buy Hades
Supergiant Games are making it.
I'm curious, what made you buy Hades
roguelike with mythology? count me in
Supergiant Games are making it.
@high island I literally have never heard you say anything about other games
Hm?
You don't talk about other games so I didn't know how much you like them
why are exchanges heroics
Exchanging increases rarity by one.
oh
that should trigger a ||trial of the gods since you're picking a god over another|| 
I bought Hades because I love games where you dash fast and attack fast
Bayonetta, Senran Karuga, Splatoon to a degree
@wet slate please report bugs like those text issues with f10 in-game
@manic bobcat why would I talk about other games in the Hades channels? lol
I'm pretty sure, yeah
Yes.
Additively yes
is there some sort of match history somewhere?
||You have to buy it from the contractor, but yes||
||You have to buy it from the contractor, but yes||
can you dm me whats the thing called
||Administrative Privilege|| @tepid plover
||to unlock it, you have to see a cutscene where zag gets "fired" from an administrative job, not sure what triggers the cutscene - probably just generic story/dialogue progression||
||where is it? lounge? west hall?||
||Administrative Privilege unlocks access to thte administrative room from the leftmost door in the west hall; accessing the top-right shelf in that room, beside the water cooler, shows you your run history||
||Don't worry if you don't have it unlocked yet btw, it records runs from before you purchased it too||
||Mine has my first run that lasted like 5 minutes from way back when||
My best feedback yet. (minus being able to pet the other 2 cerebus heads)
pls let us pet the other 2 heads
they gave zag a voiceline along the lines of "you don't like when i pet your other heads, do you, boy?" or something like that
but this is a CLEAR COVER-UP ATTEMPT
for the INJUSTICE plaguing this game
i also remember a line saying something about ||the other heads getting jealous||
is there even a point on reporting the no audio bug
pretty sure they are aware of it by now right?
or should i still 
Still worth the f10
I F10 every bug until I'm told otherwise.
even if it's known it's good practice to
all bugs you come across
as it then potentially gives the devs more info on said bug as well as an idea of how frequently it's showing up
I wonder if Ares' Aid description rendering with weird monospaced font is a known issue (it reads "Your call turns you into an ImprerviousBlade Rift for 1.2 Sec")
forgot to screenshot it with F10
My lawyer said I don't have to reveal the first.
@buoyant merlin ||I‘m going to take a guess here and say you mean Cerberus from Helltaker.||
Yeah, that's common. Just F10 all the text font errors when you see them.
Wow. You should be a detective.
my skelly doesn't show until a switch weapons :c
Also, does lucky tooth stack with the 3 defiance?
Yes.
Which one goes down first?
The regular ones, provided Death Defiance is used. Skelly's Defiance will always be the last one. It will also disappear if the tooth is unequipped.
I'm not quite certain how it works with Stubborn Defiance.
In case of getting a Chaos Legendary, their Defiance is consumed first, by the way
Its kinda funny, skelly last, chaos first
hi im , i would love to know if the beta is still open ?
The beta branch has been closed (or rather, merged) with the release of the newest update. There will probably be a new one preceding the full release.
ok ty
I laughed too hard at Nyaanyaas feedback.
Same
It has no discernible effect.
It does nothing, although you're left with the question whether it does something and you just don't notice. Hence, ambiguity.
You asked for it.
Besides, it is entirely valid to come up with explanations that it does something after all in the most obscure ways.
Yes. I was of course being serious.
Hey, can someone answer a question regarding one of the Prophecies, the one where I have to beat Thesseus on Extreme Measures and talk to Poseidon? Im pretty sure Ive beaten him, but the next Poseidon boon doesnt say anything relevant and the Prophesy remains unfulfilled. Do I have to get the boon on the same run after I beat Thesseus or what?
You just have to keep on trying to talk to Poseidon. Same thing happened to me; I just kept on forcing Poseidon boons until he recognized my kill.
RNG dialogue is RNG
What aspect do you guys use for each weapon
I swap around, sword I use nemesis/4th, spear I use achilles- use cast build, shield I use them all (chaos easiest), bow Hera/4th, fist zag/dem, rail all (I like 4th)
They're all maxed out though
Imagine having titan blood for any of that
big grind
I can beat with Hera unleveled though, doesn't change too much
Shield is my no stress play because the charge attack blocks everything
rip zeus aspect
How are you doing today, @brisk trail ?
Is the requirements for the curse of longing duo spell on the wiki incorrect? I've been trying to get it for hours
||Aphrodite: Heartbreak Strike, Heartbreak Flourish, Crush Shot, or Passion Dash
Ares: Curse of Agony or Curse of Pain||
it's all i need and then I'll have 12 super nector
Yeah that's correct
@buoyant merlin i saw a few things incorrect on the wiki. i dont think its keeping up to date
Thank you Conan.
Ares only has those 2 ways to primarily inflict doom, so the other part of the duo, just need a way to apply weak
The current boon requirements have been posted as graphics and pinned over at the #h1-builds-and-combat channel.
Forgot that existed, it's a nice graphic
That happens, but you're making progress!
You know a game is good when I swore I wouldn't play this game until v1.0, and yet here I am
Mhm, have you tried Athena call on a melee against him?
Thought I found a broken combo but it's literally broken as in the bugged sense so I can't abuse it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
My broken combo was being able to make the eyeballs in elysium no respawn
I tried to use two duo boons in tandem, Curse of Longing (aphrodite/ares, causes doom effects to repeat continuously on enemies that are weak) and Merciful End (athena/ares, causes attacks that deflect to also instantly trigger ongoing doom effects)
Ah the activations don't work as well does it?
So I'm sitting here with a ludicrously boosted attack speed adamant rail that can deflect hoping I'd be able to repeatedly doom blast an enemy while they're weak right
But Merciful End removes the doom effect when it triggers, ignoring the Curse of Longing
00f
i reported it as a bug but I feel like it may be working as intended, not sure honestly ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I don't recall specific wording, one continuous application one ends I think ;-;
my kit is still strong enough to take the final boss at this rate but it's a bummer that it doesn't work as expected
Well Curse says that doom repeatedly strikes Weak enemies, which in practice seems to just reapply the doom effect after it hits (though with reduced damage)
pls SGG give us that big damage 😦
Merciful End says it immediately activates doom effects, to be fair saying it removes the doom effect is redundant as that's the way doom normally works but it might still be programmed that way
Guess we'll see what SGG does
Never had both of those duos before, although truthfully I don't think Ares likes me that much
That's been known behavior for a minute.
But is it intended behavior? :^)
Asking the real questions
what's the name of the boon from Dionysus that gives extra damage when 3 or more enemies are affected by hangover?
Bad Influence
thanks
Fitting name too lol
is there a way to see your fastest boss kill?
dont believe so
Don't think so, only runtime
i swear, ||arthur aspect|| has bugged hitbox
How so?
the stab has the range as 3rd attck
@tepid isle that could be a good idea for #hades-feedback if you want to post it. 
and 2nd or 3rd attack both randomly have range of stab
i swing in front of 7 enemies and hits 1
You can check the pinned messages in #hades-feedback for how to post in there.
Huh, that is weird
If you notice a bug, you should report it with F10 in the game. 
let me see if i can get it to happen again and screen shot it
Might be confusing dash strike with normal attack. Oh poor ||Arthur||
actually i should restart game next room before reporting
i think i had around a 90 second elysium kill but i cant prove it xd
dropping 1k+ damage artillery on both bosses stacked on each other
thats not the fastes if you just get a crit with hestia
My fastest was something somewhere under 20 seconds probably with Blizzard Shot in Nighty Night lol.
if you max hestia and get high level artemis cant it go up to like 4k?
blizzard shot
well iwas using non upgraded rail xd
there is no way i am able to get a screenshot of this
but it happened again
i just want to inflict 500 dmg on meg damnit game
Yeah I don't think a screenshot can really capture that one 😦
Don't need to capture it in a screenshot, just F10 and describe the bug. 
hm ok
If you explain it, they'll be able to recreate it.
maimed strike with ||arthur||, the hardest choices require the stronges of will
Alternatively, if you have recording software, you could upload a clip and link that in your bug report.
however i am on hydra fight and that means the other 3 encounters will be in elysium
Ah.
I did mine in Tartarus with just Bloodless to make it interesting.
just bloodless? as in the enemy?
Miniboss fight.
Died 21 times to elysium bosses in a row
Just annoyed
whatever weapon has dark thirst
You going for another run?
Probably
Alright All the Best!
thanks
Just kill the bull first and you'll be good
take your time and pay attention to the target reticule theseus puts on you. since he mostly keeps to himself that's really all you gotta worry about while asterius is breathing down your neck
understandable, utilize pillars haha
also sometimes it's more reliable to kite asterius into a wall rather than a pillar when he charges
since his turn radius is so. on point
See, everyone says zag is positive
Also, I just bait him to a pillar, then dash through the pillar
And yet he says how I feel, "Well, time to go get killed again"-Zagreus
sometimes it doesn't work bc asterius, despite being so large, can turn on a dime
fair
physics
Is it bad that whenever I see poseidon, all I want is oceans bounty(or the call)
I have a feeling you running whichever weapon has Dark Thirst might be to your detriment.
Darn Asterius and his drifting skills...
You're not taking time to adapt to each weapon before switching to another.
Well what's a good way to go about it then
- I need more darkness and extra gems are nice
- I like variety and don't want to main one weapon
I think going with a weapon until death is great
I can't switch in the middle of a run
Are you utilizing more of the specials in your playstyle?
only specials I use are gun special, sword special, fist special
It's not maining so much as it is exploring a weapon and finding out what clicks with you the most. Sure, you need the Darkness and Gems, but it is just a meager bonus, when you take into account that you can get bonuses mid-run that go beyond Dark Thirst.
fair
only specials I use are gun special, sword special, fist special
All specials are good, though. Spear and Shield offer ranged capability, with the Spear's callback allowing for a backstab. Say you pair that with Aphrodite? You're inflicting weak with the first attack, then you call back the spear and not only backstab, but get the bonus from weak.
Also for the people that wanted to know, I don't use shield special, spear special, or bow special, because they all feel too weak/they don't look like there doing something
Bow special? AoE. Pair it with Poseidon and you're pushing enemies back. Pair it with Zeus and you're making lightning bolts on all of them.
Shield bounces between enemies too so you could very well use those two gods with it aswell, though all of them are viable.
Exploring weapons allows you to discover these techniques organically, which you otherwise aren't developing due to the constant switching. It's healthy to switch of course, but you're still new :P
They don't look like there doing something
They just don't feel like using nova smash, or rocket, or uppercut
There is more to them than their initial stage
^
wdym
Boon combinations, hammer upgrades
Just spamming special alone isn't enough as well
^^
Now, I don't think many share my view, but I do recommend you start taking your time developing a feel for weapons and their capabilities.
With Stygius dash strike is usually the what I go for, ending the combo with a special is long enough for both my dashes to refill
Basically.
And ofc you have Daedalus boons that allow you to, per Volty's example, empower your dash strike to hit twice, or empower your special. For the bow, you could get a boon that adds the amount of arrows shot by your special to cover more ground, the spear and shield can get empowered, charged up specials etc.
