Once Hypnos gets to that on his list, Zag and Than will drop unconscious where they stand

swift falcon
#

I have to admit Than is a bit less skully than I was expecting after seeing Skelly lol

#

I was expecting more bone

worthy egret
#

I mean thanatos as a god was never skully iirc

swift falcon
#

Yeah I’m just thinking of most popular media depictions of death

nimble ocean
#

well, it's just modern representation of Death with a scythe

swift falcon
#

As a hooded skeleton

nimble ocean
#

Charon-like look and all that

worthy egret
#

i wish Than had his wings and torch

#

At least he sorta has the wings when teleporting

#

And has his sword

#

huh, playing hades with controller amkes it easier

white monolith
#

the game does say controller is recommended on the main menu lol

brisk trail
#

I can’t imagine how much harder it would be with Josue and keyboard shadeembarassed

#

Mouse*

nimble ocean
#

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

brisk trail
#

Yeah, the cursor can be hard to track in the insanity of some encounters

worthy egret
#

Me who plays w a mouse n keyboard:

flat vapor
#

there's a bright cursor option in settings

#

i kept track of my cursor more after turning it on

worthy egret
#

I dont usually lose sight of my cursor

tepid plover
#

can you not fish in elysium

flat vapor
#

you can

#

it can be hard to spot though

tepid plover
#

ah alright

#

this might be a dumb question, but exactly is dark foresight

gusty slate
#

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

tepid plover
#

ahh ok

full lion
#

Man just encountered a weird glitch (already f10 ) 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

burnt lantern
#

Now that I beat the game once what do I do?

#

Do I just farm for cosmetics

brisk trail
#

do you have max level aspects

#

Do you have mirror regular and green maxed out

rough token
#

You || make the game harder || xD

brisk trail
#

and that? I guess

burnt lantern
#

I don't have what Goldre mentioned

#

I'll aim for those then

brisk trail
#

aspects?

burnt lantern
#

I don't have all the aspects nor do I have the mirror fully unlocked

brisk trail
#

You have to unlock every weapon(also gl with the mirror, maxing out everything is 177,000+ darkness)

rough token
#

To be fair, neither do I xD

burnt lantern
#

I have all the weapons

brisk trail
#

Nice

rough token
#

I don't have them all maxed

burnt lantern
#

I prioritized them when I first started

brisk trail
#

I still don't know what these ||4th aspect's|| are

#

same

burnt lantern
#

@brisk trail nah

manic bobcat
#

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

burnt lantern
#

I don't like the mirror upgrade alternatives

brisk trail
#

heat it up

#

@brisk trail nah
@burnt lantern nah on what

#

heat it up

burnt lantern
#

On upgrading all the mirror stuff

brisk trail
#

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)

burnt lantern
#

I'll just focus on the default ones. They're the best from what I've heard.

manic bobcat
#

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.

rough token
#

Hahaha

#

Yeah

burnt lantern
#

I'll max them out in the future. Thanks for the recommendation.

full lion
#

Follow up to the f10 apparently Wretches and Theseus have the same problem as the Greatshields did

brisk trail
#

Yeah max out the ones you are using first

burnt lantern
#

Yep

#

I like the favor of the gods one

manic bobcat
#

There are a couple weapons that you shouldn't max out though

#

Because they are good as is

brisk trail
#

The only green one I use is family favorite, the rest are kinda bad

burnt lantern
#

@manic bobcat what shouldn't I max?

manic bobcat
#

Some others need maxing out asap

burnt lantern
#

Oof

#

Titan Blood is hard to come by

#

Which is the problem

brisk trail
#

Yeah how do I get more blood

#

I be craving for that blood

burnt lantern
#

By beating bosses I'm pretty sure

#

But Idk why I don't get it often

brisk trail
#

Well yeah, but I've battled out of tartarus with every weapon

flat vapor
#

after first clear you’ll understand better

burnt lantern
#

First clear?

manic bobcat
#

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

brisk trail
#

okie

burnt lantern
#

I did my first clear already

flat vapor
#

beating the final boss for the first time

brisk trail
#

What weapons do I want to max

burnt lantern
#

Is it something about the Pact?

flat vapor
#

up to you

#

and yes

burnt lantern
#

Oh okay

rough token
#

Weapons like || Chaos and Chiron || aren't good unless they're maxed

flat vapor
#

what play styles do you like

manic bobcat
#

Max ASAP:
||Hades Spear, Cabos Shield, Chiron Bow, Demeter Fists, Hestia Rail||

brisk trail
#

The only weapon I don't like is gun

#

gun bad

flat vapor
#

max asap asap: ||zag sword||

burnt lantern
#

@manic bobcat I wasted most of the blood I got on Zag spear by mistake

#

I'm the big R-word

#

Misread the description

brisk trail
#

btw you can reload a save to get it back(as long as you haven't gone in the room afterwards)

burnt lantern
#

The spear thing is a while back

#

Maybe 1-2 days ago

#

I was very new to the game

brisk trail
#

F

#

I just gave each weapon one blood in zagreus aspect

burnt lantern
#

I thought it gave range and speed to attack

#

But nope it was for the special

#

Anyway I already said this before

manic bobcat
#

Well then climb those heat ;)

#

You might encounter a lot of new things

burnt lantern
#

Is heat the one where Theseus ||rides a chariot?||

manic bobcat
#

For funsies, try ||Extreme Measure 3||

#

And yes

brisk trail
#

What is heat and all this

burnt lantern
#

It's like a "hard mode"

#

From what I've seen

manic bobcat
#

Spoiler, obviously, do you want to hear it?

#

You are close to it Goldre

flat vapor
#

post first clear unlock, ||difficulty system||

brisk trail
#

nah I don't want to hear It, I'll find it(hopefully)

manic bobcat
#

Honestly just make it past your first run and everything will be crystal clear.

flat vapor
#

||provides a stream of late game resources||

brisk trail
#

Like I'll ever beat the game smh

manic bobcat
#

Lol you will

burnt lantern
#

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

flat vapor
#

one of my walls starting out was the tartarus miniboss lol

brisk trail
#

I got some crazy boons once, but it was on my 3rd run so I died to theseus

flat vapor
#

you’ll get there

manic bobcat
#

Theseus 3rd run is like really good

brisk trail
#

I've gotten to theseus and bull 3 times in 20 attempts

worthy egret
#

My big walls hmm i remember Meg, Power Couple, Asterius and elysium boss

brisk trail
#

I found a thing that I never have to reload

#

That's nice

burnt lantern
#

My biggest walls were Hydra and Theseus

worthy egret
#

Deltaaaa

burnt lantern
#

Now they aren't that hard

worthy egret
#

Hydra didnt wall me that hard i mean i died to it but i dont remember dying to it that much

burnt lantern
#

I hated it because I didn't know its attacks and it kept changing forms

brisk trail
#

I die to it a lot

worthy egret
#

Last phase roughy

burnt lantern
#

Now it's not hard

#

Especially the purple one

brisk trail
#

when there's no safe space is when I die

manic bobcat
#

The changing form is new actually

worthy egret
#

I had an issue w hydra where i just started panicking

manic bobcat
#

Previously Hydra only has one variant

burnt lantern
#

It's cool that the main head switches with the others

worthy egret
#

Once i got myself to focus it was fine

burnt lantern
#

Each one has different abilities

simple swan
#

Hi where do I report a bug? I have softlocked my save file and it doesn't work on reload

worthy egret
simple swan
#

ty

brisk trail
#

Every time I get to it I have no death defiances(maybe I should get a second one?)

worthy egret
#

If its a minor bug, f10

burnt lantern
#

@brisk trail second death defy is really good

#

Get it

simple swan
#

F10?

worthy egret
#

Do get a second Death Defiance

brisk trail
#

I will then

flat vapor
#

bugs go to the f10 bug reporter in game

#

major issues go to tech support

worthy egret
#

Or if you only have one defiance anyway invest in Stubborn

burnt lantern
#

I got the third one today cause they give you 1000 darkness for beating the game first time

simple swan
#

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

worthy egret
#

1000 darkness felt enormously much once and now it feels like nothing

flat vapor
worthy egret
#

When my mirror is asking for 10 000 andjd

brisk trail
#

got used to the subborn defiance

flat vapor
#

yeah that sounds like a tech support issue, good luck

He gets funnier

burnt lantern
#

Then finally the ||narcissistic god of the underworld||

Theseus is Asterius' stand

manic bobcat

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||

IM ALREADY HOT ENOUGH THANK YOU

burnt lantern
#

FO and EM are pact only?

worthy egret
#

Yee

burnt lantern
#

What does hell mode do then?

#

Die and that's it?

flat vapor
#

very little

#

you start out with 5 forced heat conditions, one of which being a hell mode exclusive option

manic bobcat
#

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

flat vapor
#

normal saves start at heat 0, hell mode is heat 5

#

except you can emulate most of hell mode in normal mode anyways so

gusty slate
#

Isn't hellmode the hazing initiation?

manic bobcat
#

Past 1 clear, Hell Mode is basically Normal Mode save for Personal Liability

worthy egret
#

Whats personal liability

flat vapor
#

personal liability and less flexibility in how to choose heat options

#

and you also miss out on an entire level of heat rewards

gusty slate
#

Wait really?

#

I'm already on a blood shortage

manic bobcat
#

Whats personal liability
@worthy egret it removes Mercy Invincibility

flat vapor
#

normal mode has heat 0 bounties and ends bounties at 20

worthy egret
#

I'm already on a blood shortage
@gusty slate Please see a doctor

manic bobcat
#

Aka the shield you have when you receive heavy damage

burnt lantern
#

When you get hit you basically don't become invincible for a second or so

flat vapor
#

hell mode starts at 5 and ends bounties at 25

#

you don’t get the extra heat 0 bounties like normal mode does

gusty slate
#

but @worthy egret there are no quacks in the underworld shadegrief

burnt lantern
#

I'll go sleep now guys

#

Goodbye

gusty slate

Good night!

No need to see a doctor in the underworld

Just die and let Styx sort it out

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

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

You are good

Check that first before you make another save

don't know why it didn't show up in the first place lol

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

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

manic bobcat
#

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.

thanthink can I request an estus flask for that soup

manic bobcat

I swear if someone says Hades is a "Soulike" game I'll explode

#

It's a cliche and inaccurate

gusty slate

God-like is a better term here!

Wait why would people call this a soullike

manic bobcat

That being said, Estus flash for healing would be nice

gusty slate

That's why I have ||Shady||

manic bobcat
#

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.

flat vapor
#

it's souls-like bc there's swords and stuff, and it gets dark sometimes

rough token
#

Ahh, okay

#

I follow

manic bobcat
#

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

vapid grove

ah nice

And they keep the pom level, too

is the dash-strike affect by "attack bonus" boons?

I see a thousand more hours in this game, easily.

@manic bobcat Oh I so will.

manic bobcat

For funsies try Extreme Measure 3

tepid plover

em3?

#

is that a punishment?

manic bobcat

Yeah

#

The most fun one imo

tepid plover
#

darn it, i really need to beat the game

manic bobcat
#

No pressure

#

First run is the hardest

I really underestimated how good Poseidon Call can be if you get the supporting boons

Does artemis dash strike dmg bonus affect dash-special using the Fists?

tepid plover

"each time you attack, get hit" thanks chaos

manic bobcat

Apparently yes.

Dash Upper is considered Dash Strike

#

Who knew

hollow lagoon
#

for me id say that i like the hermes keepsake

manic bobcat
#

Adamant Arrow

#

Hunter Dash is a drug

#

Same for Deadly Strike

hollow lagoon
#

kinda is with dash

tepid plover
#

i feel like evergreen acorn is sooo good, at least until i get good

hollow lagoon
#

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

manic bobcat
#

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.

hollow lagoon
#

what is ever green acorn?

#

i think i got it

manic bobcat
#

Block 5 Boss attacks

tepid plover
#

the eurydice one

hollow lagoon
#

i got it

tepid plover
#

whats the difference between a boon going up a rarity and gaining +1

hollow lagoon
#

i think rarity makes it so it is stronger and has better upgrades i think but im new

manic bobcat
#

So rarity is tier

#

+1 makes it better with that tier

#

Example

#

Common Hunter Dash is +50% Dash Strike damage

hollow lagoon
#

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?

manic bobcat
#

+1 gives say +15% (not real number) for common

#

Epic Hunter Dash is +100% damage

hollow lagoon
#

yeeet

#

op af

#

XD

manic bobcat
#

+1 gives 40% for epic

flat vapor
#

think rarity as the base number and level as an increase calculated off that number

manic bobcat
#

If this makes sense

flat vapor
#

levels give diminishing returns as well

manic bobcat
#

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

tepid plover
#

So on eurydice is worth getting rarity instead of +1

hollow lagoon
#

i always go for rarity

rough token
#

Frequently, yeah

tepid plover
#

When would you go for +1 instead?

rough token
#

When you have several boons that will benefit from a bonus level, or you already have your core boons high rarity

tepid plover
#

makes sense

rough token
#

also when you're trying to get a boon to level 10 because why not

manic bobcat
#

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

rough token
#

Also if you have a guaranteed chaos gate coming up, you could take the next 3 +rarity

tepid plover
#

||once youve given 5 nectar to someone, does it still give you the option to give them more?||

any benefit to hell mode other than higher difficulty

gusty slate
#

Bragging rights

manic bobcat
#

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

cyan cloud
#

is there a handy duo boon guide to learn their prereqs

rough token

the wiki should be mostly up to date

tepid plover

is there a limit as to how many boons you can have?

rough token
#

nope

devout flame
#

Is there any tips or tricks to aiming the gun special with a controller? I can never aim it right

tepid plover
#

isnt there aim assist

devout flame
#

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

cyan cloud
#

can you get duo boons through cycling with the fated stones

#

assuming you have the prerequisites

rough token
#

yup

cyan cloud
#

whoa thats super dope

especially with the contractor upgrade

gusty slate
#

Hades smashes desk BOI wasting my gems

high island
#

+1 gives say +15% (not real number) for common
Epic Hunter Dash is +100% damage
+1 gives 40% for epic

think 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.

tepid plover
#

so the red border of the screen is just telling me im low hp or?

brisk trail
#

Correct.

tepid plover
#

alright thank you

hollow lagoon
#

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

brisk trail
#

is delta chamber good

#

for gun

#

seems like it lowered my damage last time but maybe not

flat vapor
#

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

brisk trail
#

welp just took it

#

Uh, is this a bug

flat vapor

but tbf, reloading is annoying

brisk trail
#

The eyeballs in elysium don't respawn enemies

flat vapor
#

wdym

brisk trail

like

#

the eyeballs just float around

#

But they never respawn as enemies

#

no matter how long I wait

flat vapor
#

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

brisk trail
#

aight

#

Also there is weapons on the ground

#

They just aren't attracted to them

flat vapor
#

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

brisk trail
#

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

flat vapor
#

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

brisk trail
#

Already tried

#

I'll try restarting my computer, then reinstalling the game

flat vapor
#

honestly i'd just take the easier elysium that place sucks

brisk trail
#

well yeah

But it makes it less fun to just kill sitting duckse

the true ending won't be released until full launch

ik sadly

from watching others

I'm curious, what made you buy Hades

i saw others play

I saw Northernlion play

#

Or thereabouts

manic bobcat
#

Now I want to play a similar game 👀

quaint bramble
#

Yooo, same, roguelite streamers introduced me here too. Plus I already loved Bastion

manic bobcat
#

Yeah Bastion helped.

#

I thought oh so this is just Bastion combo in a roguelite game

rough token
#

Still haven't played any of their other games. All of which are on my list

manic bobcat
#

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

buoyant merlin
#

is the billowing strength icon a reference to "your approaching me?"

manic bobcat
#

Bastion is really fun.

hollow lagoon
#

lol i just used stubborn thing because my max hp is 150 and my hp was 44 so i gained 1 extra life

manic bobcat
#

But I can't get back to it now that I'm used to Hades combat

hollow lagoon
#

lol

manic bobcat
#

is the billowing strength icon a reference to "your approaching me?"
@buoyant merlin i never noticed tbh

hollow lagoon
#

is it bad i find the stubborn defiance or whats its name really good

rough token
#

Nope, not bad

hollow lagoon
#

why do people use death defiance

rough token
#

Because they're less worried about dying in individual rooms and more worried about bosses

hollow lagoon
#

i die in rooms alot and iv lost because i couldnt regen my hp in aspo

quaint bramble
#

Reviving more than once in a room is more flexible than only once, even if that once is infinite.

hollow lagoon
#

but i can fix that easy by dying each room\

manic bobcat
#

Well I choke hard in boss fights

hollow lagoon
#

and restoring more hp

manic bobcat
#

So I default to DD

hollow lagoon
#

XD

rough token
#

There's nothing wrong with SD, just a different playstyle

manic bobcat
#

But I use SD exclusively under certain conditions

#

Spoiler so I'm nor getting into it.

hollow lagoon
#

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

rough token
#

With less than 3 DD, SD is better

#

Imho

hollow lagoon
#

XD

quaint bramble
#

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

rough token
#

I used it even after I cleared the FB for a while

hollow lagoon
#

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

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

||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||

My best feedback yet. (minus being able to pet the other 2 cerebus heads)

tepid plover
#

pls let us pet the other 2 heads

shell ice
#

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

tepid plover

i also remember a line saying something about ||the other heads getting jealous||

buoyant merlin

Second best cerebus in games

My lawyer said I don't have to reveal the first.

tepid plover

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 f10

rough token
#

Still worth the f10

high island
#

I F10 every bug until I'm told otherwise.

granite ether
#

even if it's known it's good practice to f10 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

tepid plover
#

makes sense

#

I'm literally more scared of ||Theseus|| than ||Hades|| lmao

Yes.

tepid plover

Which one goes down first?

past mirage

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

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.

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?

still shard

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.

Ares only has those 2 ways to primarily inflict doom, so the other part of the duo, just need a way to apply weak

brisk trail

My broken combo was being able to make the eyeballs in elysium no respawn

gusty slate
#

What wombo combo did you use, Germz

#

For research purposes ofc

empty veldt
#

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)

brisk trail
#

and?

#

what happened

gusty slate
#

Ah the activations don't work as well does it?

empty veldt
#

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

gusty slate
#

00f

empty veldt
#

i reported it as a bug but I feel like it may be working as intended, not sure honestly ¯_(ツ)_/¯

gusty slate
#

I don't recall specific wording, one continuous application one ends I think ;-;

empty veldt
#

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)

gusty slate
#

pls SGG give us that big damage 😦

empty veldt
#

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

gusty slate
#

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.

Huh, that is weird

high island
#

If you notice a bug, you should report it with F10 in the game. dusa

humble flax
#

let me see if i can get it to happen again and screen shot it

gusty slate
#

Might be confusing dash strike with normal attack. Oh poor ||Arthur||

humble flax
#

actually i should restart game next room before reporting

tepid isle
#

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

humble flax
#

thats not the fastes if you just get a crit with hestia

high island
#

My fastest was something somewhere under 20 seconds probably with Blizzard Shot in Nighty Night lol.

humble flax
#

if you max hestia and get high level artemis cant it go up to like 4k?

gusty slate
#

Yeah I don't think a screenshot can really capture that one 😦

humble flax
#

#

i mean i can hotkey steam's screenshot setting but meh

high island
#

Don't need to capture it in a screenshot, just F10 and describe the bug. squirtnya

humble flax
#

hm ok

high island
#

If you explain it, they'll be able to recreate it.

humble flax
#

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.

back to hydra slaying

brisk trail
#

Did that with Lucy once, back during beta.

#

You're right, it was worth it.

humble flax
#

however i am on hydra fight and that means the other 3 encounters will be in elysium

brisk trail
#

Ah.

humble flax
#

oh well, im prepared to totally not waste 2 death defiances

#

:>

brisk trail
#

I did mine in Tartarus with just Bloodless to make it interesting.

humble flax
#

just bloodless? as in the enemy?

brisk trail
#

Miniboss fight.

humble flax
#

oh those 2

#

#

flat 9 seconds heroes fight with meg's help

brisk trail
#

Died 21 times to elysium bosses in a row

#

Oof

#

You good there?

brisk trail
#

Just annoyed

fading gazelle
#

What are you running on?

#

Which weapon?

brisk trail
#

whatever weapon has dark thirst

fading gazelle
#

You going for another run?

brisk trail
#

Probably

fading gazelle
#

Alright All the Best!

brisk trail
#

thanks

fading gazelle
#

Just kill the bull first and you'll be good

Just grinding for a third death defiance while I do my runs

#

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

brisk trail
#

if I can get to theseus with 2 death defiances I'm good

#

I sometimes forget about it

narrow hemlock
#

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

brisk trail
#

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

narrow hemlock
#

sometimes it doesn't work bc asterius, despite being so large, can turn on a dime

brisk trail
#

fair

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.

gusty slate
#

Darn Asterius and his drifting skills...

outer comet
#

You're not taking time to adapt to each weapon before switching to another.

brisk trail
#

Well what's a good way to go about it then

#
  1. I need more darkness and extra gems are nice
  2. I like variety and don't want to main one weapon
fading gazelle
#

I think going with a weapon until death is great

brisk trail
#

I can't switch in the middle of a run

gusty slate
#

Are you utilizing more of the specials in your playstyle?

brisk trail
#

only specials I use are gun special, sword special, fist special

outer comet
#

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.

brisk trail
#

fair

outer comet
#

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.

brisk trail
#

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

outer comet
#

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

brisk trail
#

They don't look like there doing something

#

They just don't feel like using nova smash, or rocket, or uppercut

gusty slate
#

There is more to them than their initial stage

Boon combinations, hammer upgrades

fading gazelle
#

Just spamming special alone isn't enough as well

outer comet
#

^^

#

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.

fading gazelle
#

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

outer comet
#

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.
