well can someone explain the joke or nah

#

|| Orpheus shouldn't've looked back when rescuing Eurydice, that's why he and Eurydice were stuck in the underworld ||

tepid plover
#

oh

swift falcon
#

Just finished a run where I used up 4 death defiances and ended with 29 health

#

šŸ˜…

rough token
#

Eyy, but you finished!

swift falcon
#

Tru that

rough token
#

:3

swift falcon
#

I don’t haha

rough token
#

No worries ^.^

swift falcon
#

I think the bow has the least interesting hammer upgrades

#

Maybe just me, but none of the bow upgrades feel satisfying or change the playstyle too significantly compared to other weapons

#

Especially the damage bonus ones for being close or far away

tawdry turret
#

which gods should I focus on for the sword :3 ?

agile saddle
#

Bow has less range then spear special XD

swift falcon
#

Idk it just feels underpowered to me I guess

#

Maybe I’m playing wrong

#

But by far I have had least success with the bow

#

Every other weapon I am comfortable with

agile saddle
#

Bow is slow and hinders movement but Hera bow can deal some harsh damage with good cast boons

rough token
#

Bow definitely takes some getting used to

swift falcon
#

When using stuff that consumes your cast is it better to have the recharge? Instead of multiple casts

#

I think that might help me

agile saddle
#

Recharge?

swift falcon
#

One of the mirror perks

#

Instead of cast dropping out it just recharged

agile saddle
#

Well if u are playing Hera bow as u level the bow the cast drops out faster so you can charge up again

swift falcon
#

I find it annoying to keep picking up casts

#

When I use Hera

agile saddle
#

I wouldn't play Hera bow then but there are 3 other aspects

swift falcon
#

I think the problem with Hera (and other cast weapons) is that it limits your boon choices, you can’t pick up Ares, Demeter, Dionysus casts

#

It messes up the synergies

agile saddle
#

Every cast works with Hera

rough token
#

Except you still can? And they're not bad

swift falcon
#

Really?

rough token
#

Dio is really good on Hera

swift falcon
#

I guess I never tried it because it didn’t seem like it would work

agile saddle
#

Dio cast is better with Hera then to actually cast

rough token
#

Ares is solid on || Beo ||

swift falcon
#

because those casts transform it

cloud apex
#

Recharging cast is 1 per 3 seconds
Regular is 3 per 5 seconds + whatever it takes for you to pick them up
So regular is more dmg unless you are really uncomfortable with pickups. Or if you get bonus casts from somewhere

agile saddle
#

Last bow run I had 5 casts. Was fun

swift falcon
#

So what makes Hera better than just casting and shooting one after the other is my question

#

Does the combo just do more damage than the two separately?

agile saddle
#

Cause u get cast + attack damage

#

And more range

swift falcon
#

Right but on other aspects you could just cast+attack one after the other

#

So I don’t really see the full benefit from that

#

It’s maybe half a second faster?

agile saddle
#

Hera casts don't proc till they hit an enemy. If u just cast a skill it happens right then

cloud apex
#

It is faster, and you can load casts while being in uncomfortable to shoot position

agile saddle
#

Arming 3+ casts at once is damage

cloud apex
#

Something like crush shot and trippy shot get better deliverance, too

sweet hawk
#

Hi, is there a full list of minor prophecies and/or how to finish them?

agile saddle
#

Wiki has a list but doesn't have how to finish them

sweet hawk
#

I am particularly stuck about the bosses needed to be killed for wanton destruction prophecy

#

Don't know whom I am missing or where to find them

swift falcon
#

I think some bosses don’t show up until you’ve done a certain number of runs or fulfilled some other conditions?

#

I remember some bosses didn’t actually spawn until later on

sweet hawk
#

Perhaps. I simply have no clue

#

I only have a glaring ????? in middle of the prophecy

agile saddle
#

Have u killed all the bosses in Styx? There should be 4 I think. 2 in Tarturus

#

2 in Asphodel

sweet hawk
#

I killed 2 in Styx

#

Big rat and funny satyr

swift falcon
#

Oh yeah I know which one you need then

agile saddle
#

Rat/giant rat/giant laser thing/Big Satyr/big bomb thrower

swift falcon
#

Keep doing those boss rooms up there

sweet hawk
#

Will it be in Styx or Elysium?

agile saddle
#

Styx

sweet hawk
#

Okay thanks

agile saddle
#

If u haven't fought the small rat it's probably that

sweet hawk
#

So Styx has 3 bosses on that list?

rough token
#

Should be 5, I think

brisk trail
#

small rat too

#

fast rat

sweet hawk
#

Okay

agile saddle
#

Small rat/Satyr/Bomb layer/laser head I think

cloud apex
#

Giant rat is also a thing iirc

agile saddle
#

I finished that proph a long time ago I always forget about the larger rat

rough token
#

For the sake of clarity:
|| Dire Vermin (giant vermin), King Vermin (aka Tiny Vermin), Dire Bother (bombs), Dire Snakestone (lasers), and Dire Satyr ||

agile saddle
#

I absolutely hate Styx and feel like it brings the whole game down

sweet hawk
#

Styx feels unfinished. But I guess this is still early access?

crude hazel
#

This is pretty much what Styx is. Barring post final boss stuff.

agile saddle
#

i wish there was a way to sell a hammer upgrade and not the anvil from styx since that takes a random one. like i just took a knuckle upgrade and it was so bad like it ruined my special

coral epoch
#

hii

steep mulch
#

Styx is definitely pretty meh

#

this is why i was hoping for there to be something like a Surface biome, but based on responses on Steam forums, that seems unlikely

alpine sequoia
#

There's actually a neat trick to that. Assuming that it's your first time entering that room (Or so), you cna choose to quit (if it isn't greyed out) and try again. However, you can only do it once, because if you quit again, it will just play out the same way upon you're first re-load. @agile saddle Although not much of a actual fix to your special, but still.

#

Oh? What do you mean Fuzz?

steep mulch
#

no characters to meet, no special encounters

#

Satyrs are really annoying with the poison

alpine sequoia
#

That's why I always have some sort of deflect on me.

agile saddle
#

@alpine sequoia well I had no idea it was straight up trash fire

alpine sequoia
#

?

agile saddle
#

I didn't know the upgrade was garbage when I took it

steep mulch
#

Heavy Knuckle is super trash

#

actually makes you deal less damage

granite ether
#

Heavy knuckle is a complete playstyle shift

agile saddle
#

It wasn't heavy knuckle it was charge special. It's extremely buggy

steep mulch
#

Flying Cutter?

agile saddle
#

Like my special would pass through people

#

No the ranged one

steep mulch
#

Kinetic Cutter is crazy good

#

(assuming you are using Demeter)

#

sorry, Kinetic Launcher

alpine sequoia
#

Demeter best girl.

#

šŸ‘

steep mulch
#

but yes, it sometimes misses when it feels like it shoudlnt

#

Autoaim helps with that a lot, though

agile saddle
#

I was using poseidon and literally I would shoot it and it would just not hit unless I was point blank

steep mulch
#

if you just press the button, it has short range

#

you have to hold it a little to give it more range

#

btw, you can Power Shot with it too

agile saddle
#

Yeah but it also had a power shot and it would literally just not hit or the first hit would and the enemy just kept walking

#

Like I had a good setup for special and i took that and was like forget this

steep mulch
#

shame. It has been kicking ass every time i pick it

agile saddle
#

Cleared the run and now I know to never pick that

alpine sequoia
#

Oh yeah, quick question. By maxing out the aspect of Zagreus, does that count as bonus speed for the perk that increases damage based upon bonus speed?

steep mulch
#

zag fists give dodge and attack speed, not movement speed

#

which, btw, might be bugged

#

because i didnt see any difference in attack speed

alpine sequoia
#

I meant the sword lol.

steep mulch
#

no idea about the sword. That boon you mentioned I have very little experience with

alpine sequoia
#

Huh. i wonder now.

#

Time to experiment!

steep mulch
#

i wonder what the 4th aspect of Fists will be

alpine sequoia
#

I saw this cool concept for a Vlad one actually. I think it was for the fists. Fan made of course, but

#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

steep mulch
#

Vlad/Dracula is an interesting candidate

#

some kind of life-steal motif?

tired axle
#

@alpine sequoia where did you see that/.'//.>?

alpine sequoia
#

@tired axle It was in the steam thing, right next to some questionable content as i scrolled down the page

#

Also

#

Yes Fuzz

#

It was awesome! They had full descriptions, possibel combos

#

Even an explanation on why it should be picked.

#

I could try to find it?

tired axle
#

found it

#

it;s nice

alpine sequoia
#

Post pls?

tired axle
#

1 s

alpine sequoia
#

You have one year to post it lmao.

tired axle
alpine sequoia
#

ah, I was wrong about the health drain

steep mulch
#

one year? Hades is supposed to finish this year, right?

tawny light
#

Yep.

#

Aspect of Dracula?

steep mulch
#

its fan-made

#

but seems like a good candidate for 4th aspect of the Fists

#

though, its gonna be hard to compete with Demeter

alpine sequoia
#

Screw that, this is my jam.

#

It would encourage more trap based things.

#

I don't know about y'all.... but I mostly just beat the ever living crap out of my enemies. Usually don't use traps.

tawny light
#

Traps are like wallsplats

#

They're about situational awareness.

steep mulch
#

game says "8 Boss fights" but i only counted 7

#

4 act bosses, Charon, Solo Asterius, and the Tiny Vermin. Did I miss one?

past mirage
#

I think that the furies count as three separate bosses, and solo Asterius doesn't count as a boss on his own.

#

But there is room for discussion.

steep mulch
#

counting Furies as 3 bosses seems a bit generous. They more like Variants

#

most interesting is that there are more Keepsakes

#

i mean, besides Hades himself, who else could give you a keepsake? Alecto?

granite ether
#

probably ||Persiphone||/whoever the final story character is in 1.0

gusty slate
#

Spoilers Redacted

#

Final boss is obviously dusa though

granite ether
#

||Hades|| fight is spoilers in this channel

steep mulch
#

well, over to the other channel i guess

tired ether
#

So I wanted to give feedback on something. That section tells you to "check pins" to get permission to type. I read the pinned messages but am still not able to type and don't see how to. Maybe I'm just dumb idk

past mirage
#

You have to join the Early Access role over in the #bot-commands channel

tired ether
#

Thank you for your reply

steep mulch
#

small note to the devs: Steam page lists 24 Keepsakes, currently, when actually game has 23 (in case this matters at all)

ember sun
#

Is Dark Thirst broken? My last 7 runs or so have all alternated between the fist and the sword.

gusty slate
#

RNG just really loves your sword and fist

silent pumice
#

Does Flurry Cast no longer work with Trippy Shot?

#

I've had it two or three times where holding down only displays the targeting point with Zag's arm outstretched.

gusty slate
#

Wonder if that's a bug

old palm
#

Haha I died and alt tabbed at the same time and the game crashed on me, my death must of been painful.

gusty slate
#

Even Chaos could feel that one

#

Charon is shaking his head

#

Good luck on your next run!

twilit sigil
#

hey guys I have something cool to share

#

wait nvm

silent pumice
#

What is it, tell me!

twilit sigil
#

oh gosh well I tried to take a screenshot but it won't let me paste it here

#

I had 666 coins during a run B) I tried my best to get no more coins for the rest of the run but it can't be helped because some shades drop coins :(

Hi all. I'd like to play hades using Geforce now. Are there plans to optin nvidia service? Thx

narrow hemlock
#

wont know anything until after 1.0, I'd guess

sage sigil
#

Imagine in 1.0 after beatin hades, it starts another run to get to ||your mom||, but now you need to beat Gods to see her, you lose your boons but now you gettin boons from underworld from Dad, Skelly and others.

gusty slate
#

Be nifty to beat the game and that happens

#

but we'll see

#

DLC!

#

Boyo boons

void vigil
#

@sage sigil the final boss is a spoiler in this channel, please edit your message accordingly!

gusty slate
#

What final boss, the game is named hades dusa <-- most recent mugshot of the actual final boss

#

and bouldy is the one watching from the shadows making sure we get out of the underworld safely.... most of the time... sometimes... well who knows.

vast junco
#

watching over zagreus with... ambiguous eyes

tepid plover

bouldy is the red shade

One of many disguises, a trickster

Ambiguity is OP
you can never lose

this is the luckiest run of all time

prisma tapir
#

Is upgrading aspect of Guan Yu worthwhile? it seems pretty stinky

brisk trail
#

It's very good at max level.

prisma tapir
#

So it will just half your health/ gains at max?

brisk trail
#

Yup.

terse geyser
#

That's enough health, with the huge damage GY deals across its truck-sized hitbox

brisk trail
#

@prisma tapir yeah but it heals you every time you hit things with the spin attack

#

you end up leaving every encounter on full hp

#

guan yu is the only time i can get a perfect clear

#

i.e full hp after kiling the final boss

terse geyser
#

if you go for a special build, you can just throw it across mobs from a distance and never take damage anyways

Anyone used to get those worries that their bloodstone would just fall into the pits in Styx?

narrow hemlock

put leashes on them squirtheh

viral rover
#

Into the pits? Nah. Outside of the walls next to the Snakestones that also failed geometry so hard they don't know what the shape of the room is? Yes.

tepid plover
#

Each of the mini encounters in styx count toward leveling up keepsakes right?

crude hazel
#

Yes.

fading gazelle
#

Yis

viral rover
#

Also Rare Crop, item tick downs, and Chaos curses (Except Shrouded which auto clears if you still have it by the time you beat Elysium)

hades : greek gods speak in an english accent and use english slang

it's great

cloud apex
#

Tbf for omnipowerful beings like that adjusting the language and accent shouldn't be a huge trouble

#

(aside from chaos, but its... accent is oddly soothing)

agile saddle
#

does support fire have a CD or does it proc off each hit of chaos shield?

#

0.2 seconds, supposedly (same as zeus special)

ahhh

Also, CrabBar, you can use they/them for Master Chaos ^.^

Does anybody know when the next update is? The patch notes say this year but they mightve posted something somewhere else

They've not

#

It'll be within the next 5 months, if all goes to plan ;)

sweet hawk
#

How can I access the files to free certain characters from bound contracts? I have those two max nectered until lock. Gave to Nyx too who mentioned admin room. Got access to admin room but nothing there.

#

Nyx has also reached a lock. Same as Dusa.

#

How to progress the story?

rough token
#

You'll need to keep progressing dialogue with them

#

They have a lot of talking to do

#

|| Nyx will tell you where the contracts are in the Admin room soonish ||

sweet hawk

Yeah seems so. Thanks.

#

Also do their partners need necter too?

tepid plover
#

Dumb question, bone hourglass doesn't affect the Jerky from patroclus right?

rough token
#

Don't think so

#

Haven't tested it though

past mirage
#

I would expect no effect, since you don't get it from a well.

#

But I haven't paid attention to that yet

lapis harbor
#

is there a way to tell if I'm fishing right? haha

#

like if I'm making the timing

past mirage
#

Watch what the banner says after getting your fish. It's either catch or perfect catch, and you will want the latter.

flat vapor
#

if you want the codex entries, you’ll need both types of catches

lapis harbor
#

I figure I'll get all the legendaries first

#

missing 2

#

thanks tho

tepid plover
#

paul out here flexing

rough token
#

Nah, you want a real flex? The only fish I still haven't gotten is one of the common fish

#

:3

tepid plover
#

lmao, call me ash, i have them all

#

Chaos fish, amirite

tepid plover
#

can't you get a common fish from a perfect catch?

#

Nope

cloud apex
#

You can't

i got all chaos before i got the rest

It should

@errant storm

#

ok kool. i tried loading up my new game on a new system and i gotta star AALL over lol

#

steam still knows i have 400 hours played thoiugh

rough token
#

Well, you can manually transfer the files if you still have the old device

#

But that is weird that it didn't cloud save properly. Maybe check in with #h1-tech-support ?

lapis harbor
#

cloud saving seems... iffy

tired mirage
#

Can I respec titan blood upgrades or are they permanent?

lapis harbor
#

permanent 😢

tired mirage
#

rip

#

I wanted to just try them out but nevermind, thanks tho

rough token
#

You can, kinda

crude hazel
#

Eventually you will have everything blooded.

#

One day.

rough token
#

If you unlock them, then start a run, if you hit give up it'll revert to before you unlocked it (at long as you don't leave the courtyard before starting the run) @tired mirage

#

So you can kinda test them out

tired mirage
#

oh sweet

@rough token thank you

Sure thing!

tired mirage

Last time I played the game was december last year, there's quite a few new things that got added

the demeter boons and the twin fists are pretty good

Yup

#

I just beat the game so I'm gonna try out this whole heat thing

tepid plover
#

I refuse to level up my weapons dusa

errant storm
#

Speaking of weapons are all the variations in the game? I have T4 of some but not all

#

Did I just not complete random requirements?

flat vapor
#

the only weapon without || a legendary aspect (4th aspect) is the fists ||

hasty nexus
#

I know it's a silly question but is there gonna be post release updates or release update will be the last update for the game?

flat vapor
#

we don't know, rn the focus is getting the game to v1.0

#

i'm assuming we're getting post update balancing patches like every other update so far, but as far as content updates there's been no word i've heard from the devs

brisk trail
#

If I had to guess we'll likely see a beta update or something of the sort before the Official Launchā„¢ļø.

covert siren
#

Do we have any thoughts on when the next update might come out? :)

brisk trail
#

Before 31/12/2020.

flat vapor
#

sometime in the Futureā„¢ļø

#

real poetry would be releasing it on the same day early access was released

brisk trail
#

Kanassans: "GOTEN AND TRUNKS BECOME A GUY." "CELL REACHES HIS PERFECT FORM." "SUPERGIANT GAMES RELEASES HADES AND EVERYONE LOVES IT."

narrow hemlock
#

debatable on there being a beta before launch, they only did it for blood price to test all the performance changes. unless theyve done a bunch of under the hood stuff again there shouldnt be any need before launch

brisk trail
#

I suppose I'm thinking more in terms of "Once we say we've hit 1.0, we don't want to put out any more updates."

marsh rivet
#

I think they mentioned that for all of their games, there were important patch things that happened after 1.0, so we shouldn't expect differently for Hades too

#

I have no source for this, I may have heard it on stream from Amir

crude hazel
#

They've made relatively big post release changes before.

#

Like in Bastion.

#

But generally, don't expect anything insane.

cyan idol
#

I'm pretty sure hades has cloud save?

rough token
#

It does for Steam, not for Epic

cyan idol
#

Mh.

#

Still kind of wanna expand on my weapon idea, since a weapon that functions similarly to the dueling pistols from Bastion would be nice.

#

But I also kind of had the idea of a scepter that you wield like a club.

#

But can also unleash magical energy from it as well in some fashion, or buff the regular attacks with said energy release.

#

I think I'll think about my ideas and come back later when I have full concepts.

crude hazel
#

Hey, there's a Hades modding discord.

#

If you want to put in the work, I'm sure plenty of people would appreciate it.

nimble sinew
#

is it me or is the hermes trinket kinda garbage

rough token
#

Not really

#

Just have to play fast to get the rewards

#

And by the time you get closer to the end, 30% dodge chance is nothing to laugh at

flat vapor
#

it's a keepsake meant to kept through the whole run

rough token
#

@fierce ice from #hades-feedback , the Broker would still be making a profit (1 blood --> 1 diamond is still a net loss for the player) but it would be less of a mark-up

candid glen
#

do we have an idea of when 1.0 comes out?

rough token
#

Later this year

candid glen
#

tm?

rough token
#

Nope, actually later this year

candid glen
#

nice

sullen holly
#

What is the point of ranking up keepsakes?

crude hazel
#

They get better.

sullen holly
#

oh ok

brisk trail
#

xd

tepid plover
#

perfect catch should always be legendary

#

change my mind

rough token
#

That would make legendaries worth far less, unless perfect catches were then much harder

flat vapor
#

there shouldn't be a perfect catch, just a catch with chances for all 3 fish on it
change my mind

rough token
#

That would reduce the amount of engagement generated by fishing, since far less reflexes would be needed, unless they made the entire time window smaller (which would hurt slower players)

steep mulch
#

maybe have 3 windows then?

#

so if you hit very close to the timing, you get legendary fish?

flat vapor
#

why does fishing need to be so skill based

#

slower players are already hurt because they can't hit perfect catches

#

meanwhile there are people here who are so fast they can't get regular catches, which also locks off a fish type

steep mulch
#

other than flavor in codex, you dont really need regular fish

rough token
#

Also a valid point. Technically there are three windows already

0-.32 : rare, 5% legendary
.32-.64 : common, 5% rare
.64-1 : common

#

Though the last two don't have different banners

steep mulch
#

5% seems really low, tbh

rough token
#

Yeah

flat vapor
#

people have different interpretations of what "need" is

steep mulch
#

the way it should work, is if you miss getting the 5%, next time its 10%, etc...

flat vapor
#

i can say you don't need to fish

steep mulch
#

so each time you get a perfect catch, you have a higher and higher chance of getting legendary

#

until you do, and the chance resets

#

same could work for a regular catch

flat vapor
#

imo a side minigame that's designed to give a break doesn't need to have this much depth involved

rough token
#

Similar post was made in #hades-feedback a while ago

#hades-feedback message

Though I also agree that it doesn't need to be very complex. Maybe just a sliding scale instead of three time windows?

tepid plover
#

question about the contractor, will the nyx painting in the west hall replace the one I have of Zagreus?

#

or is it a different slot

rough token
#

You can swap them around after, but it does replace it

tepid plover
#

alright, thanks

brisk trail
#

god the rail is so bad

#

clearing 35 heat runs with stygius then going back to do 0 heat run on rail and actually lose

#

an amazing 30 dps

cloud apex
#

Man, you just literally told my story

#

High heat stygius, then lose on 0 heat rail

brisk trail
#

guess ill go do 36 heat stygius

#

and win without using a single death defiance

#

but the rail

#

ofc not man

lapis harbor
#

woah. I find the rail basically the easiest weapon to excel with

#

you can just do whatever and everything dies, as long as you remember to reload

brisk trail
#

lol wdym

#

it does like 30 dps

lapis harbor
#

that said, ther eload mechanic is crap and doesn't belong in this game, having a unique button for it is crazy

brisk trail
#

stygius does like 1k

lapis harbor
#

use more specials

brisk trail
#

yeah that 60 dmg bomb

#

thatll save the dps

lapis harbor
#

by Stygius do you mean Arthur?

brisk trail
#

or nemesis

lapis harbor
#

I don't think any core Stygius does 1k dps, or even close

brisk trail
#

nemesis can get 1k

#

with a few decent boons

#

range has value, though, a LOT of value

brisk trail
#

hell no

#

im watching a high heat vid

lapis harbor
#

I mean the gun can hit significantly hard with boons too?

#

idk about high heat though, my highest is 8 šŸ˜›

brisk trail
#

not rly lol

#

im watching a vid of a guy doing 40 heat rail

lapis harbor
#

it... certainly can, and Lucifer hits harder

brisk trail
#

he gets the rocket from hammer

#

and never left clicks again

#

based tbh

#

i guess ill have to do that

#

he literally doesnt shoot a single time in the hades fight

lapis harbor
#

link it here?

brisk trail
#

he only uses special

lapis harbor
#

yeah ,the special is hugely important, like I said

brisk trail
#

no

#

man

#

the base special does 60 dmg

lapis harbor
#

I only use attack when special is on cooldown

brisk trail
#

he has like every good hammer upgrade for the special

lapis harbor
#

yeah, rocket does 80

brisk trail
#

except the enemies dont just slowly walk out of the way of it

#

and it has 5x speed

#

of base bomb

#

because it doesnt take ages to land

lapis harbor
#

right, hammers and boons make weapons better man

#

I'm not very good and I find the gun the second easiest weapon (after the fists)

brisk trail
#

yeah sure, just saying that rail without lucky hammer upgrades is awful

lapis harbor
#

losing with it requires... dumb stuff

#

I... don't know that I'd agree

brisk trail
#

losing in the first place requires dumb stuff

lapis harbor
#

if you're losing at heat 0, then... you're just not good with it and need to learn

#

which is totally fine

brisk trail
#

i lost because i was doing 60 dps to the final boss

#

XD

#

i was like 15 mins in

#

and died

#

pathetic weapon

lapis harbor
#

yeah, cuz you chose bad boons or played poorly

#

no offense

brisk trail
#

not rly

lapis harbor
#

if it was heat 20 and your experiences were totally different to mine, I'd defer to your greater wisdom

brisk trail
#

my boons were decent

#

my dps was just so pathetically low

lapis harbor
#

okay, then YOU played poorly, and have some practice to do

rough token
#

Rail is definitely a tricky weapon, and I would actually agree that it's more hammer/boon-dependent than other weapons

brisk trail
#

yea sure i wasnt really paying attention because i didnt expect to lose on a 0 heat run

#

but that doesnt mean i wasnt doing

#

10% the dps

#

of any other weapon

rough token
#

The advantage that rail has is that it fires fast, which means it's better with multi-hit attacks like Zeus or Dio. The main DPS isn't meant (as far as I understand it) to come from your base damage

#

In terms of the special, it has a large area at range, and has several hammers which greatly change how it functions

lapis harbor
#

yeah, absolutely not. you need to be firing a ton of specials, dio attack or similar, getting privileged status and keeping the shard up, etc

brisk trail
#

yeah sure it can clearly be good based on that video

#

but if you dont get the lucky hammers

#

guess you just do 30 fps

#

dps*

lapis harbor
#

I've never had a problem with it and I've used literally all the hammers

rough token
#

I would respectfully disagree with that. I had an insanely high DPS build with it recently, using almost exclusively the attack. The two hammers I got simply enhanced that, but it was the build that did the main damage

brisk trail
#

lol dafuq

#

no way it would even deal 25% dps of a decent weapon

#

with 15 base dmg

#

even if you got like +400% dmg

#

you would be doing 60 dmg per hit

rough token
#

Lemme find it, I recorded a brief clip

#

Just a moment

brisk trail
#

cool

lapis harbor
#

it does way more damage than the bow haha

brisk trail
#

nah

lapis harbor
#

and range is value, need to spend less time dodging

brisk trail
#

not a chance

#

bow does tons more dmg

#

especially if you can get pointblank and the double shot

lapis harbor
#

you're comparing best cases to worst cases I think

brisk trail
#

and some +damage

rough token
lapis harbor
#

anyway, like I said I'm terrible and I'm beating it with the rail ezpz

rough token
#

This was on 16 heat

#

Very short, sorry

lapis harbor
#

oooh I love the artemis shot with it

brisk trail
#

i mean its like

#

decent dmg

#

but a lot less than any other specced weapon

lapis harbor
#

built in good aoe and range, more mobile than the bow, etc

#

dps is not the only thing to count

rough token
#

Of course it's a bit less damage, that's the range trade-off. But with this build, I also shredded every room in Styx because of how much damage spread it had. I'm not saying it's the best (I don't think it is) but I do think it's a powerful weapon in its own right

agile saddle
#

Lol rail stronger then bow. Sure maybe the Rama bow and Zag bow but no way higher then Hera bow

brisk trail
#

ikr

#

??

lapis harbor
#

I mean I've used a lot of Hera bow

#

the Hera bow has great burst, but crap DPS outside of that

granite ether
#

Every weapon can be incredible if you know how to use it

brisk trail
#

i mean yea sure the vid i linked shows if you get the right boons it can be really good

granite ether
#

I would suggest watching some speedruns or high heat runs with gun

brisk trail
#

just saying it seems giga rng related

#

unlike every other weapon

#

where everything works

lapis harbor
#

and we're saying it isn't that bad at all, a lot of things work

rough token
#

Okay, how about this:

As someone who has cleared with every weapon with not a single boon, some of them at as high as 12 heat, each weapon is good

brisk trail
#

and some are better than others

rough token
#

Sure

#

In that scenario

brisk trail
#

and the rail is the worst

rough token
#

Not particularly, no

lapis harbor
#

"worst with no boons" isn't the same as "worst without the best boons" anyway

rough token
#

Fists were actually harder, iirc

granite ether
#

That makes sense

lapis harbor
#

yeah, both of them really want a good attack boon

granite ether
#

Especially zag fists

tepid plover
#

Haha athena call go brr

granite ether
#

Anyway i suggested watching high heat and/or speedruns with rail so you can potentially appreciate what is possible with the weapon

brisk trail
#

yeah i know

#

theyre all going full special

#

so thats what ill do i suppose

lapis harbor
#

full special or dio/zeus on attack... I think Demeter might be good too, but I haven't explored it as much

brisk trail
#

nah theyre all full special

#

they barely shoot lol

radiant harbor

#

Technical Questions: Does Hades use a capped frame rate, and if yes what is that rate?

brisk trail
#

Nope.

nimble ocean
#

it's not ported on other platforms yet, so it's not nessesary now

sage finch
#

That doesn't mean it's a good idea. I'm wondering exactly what criteria Hades is using to clock the timing on Fishing.

#

Specifically, when EXACTLY does the clock start on the catch timer? Is it triggered by a frame, or is it triggered by the same instruction call that DRAWS the frame?

nimble ocean
#

that's probably a question to programmers

radiant harbor
#

pretty sure it's the big white flash?

sage finch
#

For sure it's the flash, but the flash is on screen for many frames.

nimble ocean
#

i'm not sure that frame itself can trigger anything

sage finch
#

@nimble ocean There are frame triggers.

#

I absolutely can NOT catch the rare fish. My response time isn't amazing, but its range includes the .34 second response time listed on the wiki. I should catch a rare fish once in a while.

#

Well, I do, but like 5% of the time.

nimble ocean
#

i kinda envy people who can tell 59 fps from 60 and perform frameperfect actions

#

and don't understand them at the same time

sage finch
#

Uh, be careful.

#

No one can perform frame perfect REactions at that rate.

#

You can make a frame perfect input, but not reactivel.y

#

In other words, you have to know within a very narrow margin EXACTLY when the input check is coming, and even then the best players in the world will miss it most of the time.

radiant harbor
#

lol how is it hard to tell the difference betweeen 59fps and 60fps

#

just count the frames lmaoooooooooooo

sage finch
#

Humans can't, reliably.

nimble ocean
#

there are some tricks people use.. like, only listen to audio.. or put a finger over the bobber, so sudden movements won't confuse you

sage finch
#

I might try that last one.

#

But I should have more than the I think three rare fish. I'm not that slow.

nimble ocean
#

also the fact that 4th movement is always a bite, if three already happened

radiant harbor
#

you could practice on stuff like this

sage finch
#

that's why I am wondering when the count starts. Because if it doesn't start on the actual frame, I may have a LOT less time to make an input than .34 seconds.

narrow hemlock
#

if youre using a controller, use the vibration to indicate when to reel. that and the finger method are prob the best imo

nimble ocean
#

i believe it also can end later in that case

sage finch
#

I'm M+K.

nimble ocean
#

do mice with vibration exist?

#

mouses

narrow hemlock
#

controller is most comfortable for me but i keep controller on hand even for my kbm runs just to fish

sage finch
#

No.

nimble ocean
#

idk

sage finch
#

That would be a disaster.

narrow hemlock
#

but as far as when the timer on fishing starts im not sure anyone could tell you for sure

sage finch
#

Controller is great, but it ain't my thing. I like to be able to aim.

narrow hemlock
#

you do you, i only gave you a suggestion.

nimble ocean
#

my friend can't use vibration, it makes her fingers go numb for some reason

sage finch
#

I'll try that finger tho. I'm looking for the flash above the bob, right?

nimble ocean
#

right

sage finch
#

Force feedback is great! but I'm sort of wired into PC play now.

#

Rumble is only really workable in slushy control interfaces like analog sticks, buttons, and triggers.

nimble ocean
#

keyboards?

sage finch
#

Because they aren't held by the player, most of the rumble energy would be absorbed by the surface they are on.

#

Also keyboards don't have analog input, so you can;t deadzone to compensate for artifact inputs from the rumble.

#

Just did the test. I

#

'm at the end of a day, but I'm still getting 274 ms, which is WELL within the official margin.

#

So either I'm inputting on the visual que, or I have a lot less than .34 seconds to make the input.

#

Are the fishing stats in the hall of records?

hey guys, i recently got a new computer where i can actually play hades properly without downgraded graphics but a big roadblock to me playing the new patches has been the sheer level of aversion i have to restarting the whole game when i would just like to simply progress the story at this point. does anyone have any experience with transferring their epic games store save files between computers?

I am baffled and amazed at the sheer volume of voice acting in this game.

The level of passion put into this game is mind boggling.

brisk trail
#

Hello everyone! I started the game today, and I'm not sure what to do with the Chthonic Keys, should I use them to unlock weapons or upgrades at the mirror?

high island
#

Both.

#

You can get Chthonic Keys very quickly, so just spend them as you see fit.

#

I guess balance how many keys you spend on the mirror with how much Darkness you actually have to spend on your mirror talents.

#

So when you don't have extra Darkness anyway, just unlock another weapon.

#

And then by the time you have more Darkness, you'll have keys to upgrade the mirror, too.

carmine ravine

i used my keys now to buy diamonds

That's also viable I guess

ayyy i started playing hades yesterday and had a pretty good binge from 10 pm to 5 AM

tepid plover

it is

brisk trail
#

Is there any way to save a run and continue it later? Some people say it saves after each encounter, some say they lost all the progress they've made.

#

Is there any way to save a run? and if yes, how long is an average run?

analog elbow
#

So you can save and quit before you start an encounter, or after you finish one

#

It saves automatically, and you won’t lose progress if the QUIT button is clickable. If only GIVE UP is, then you’ll lose the progress.

rough token
#

@brisk trail To add on to what Radish said, whenever you see a red icon flash in the top right, you can then pause and hit Quit to exit and save. Once you do something (like interact or take/deal damage) you can no longer save & quit until the encounter ends

tepid plover
#

runs are usually around 30 mins depending on your build

#

thats my average clear time at least

i dont speed run or anything

Maybe most myths were written by the ancestor of the Pimp my Ride guy.

lapis harbor
#

is it just me or does fishing feel like it gives very few resources almost immediately? I almost wantto just skip them all

radiant harbor

depends on the zone you're in

#

and the rarity of the fish you catsh, which you can affect by catching the fish asap after the flash

#

you can quite reliably catch legendary ||stonewhals|| for ||150|| gemstones in the final zone, which adds up very quickly

cyan idol
#

Hey, if Hades gets costumes for Zagreus to wear... Will Arachne be the maker of said costumes?

crude hazel
#

Uhh. Maybe?

#

She's a spider now, so it might be hard.

cyan idol
#

And Dusa's a head. Your point?

crude hazel
#

My point is she's a spider, that's all really. They probably aren't adding more NPCs to the game.

cyan idol
#

Arachne is still a fantastic weaver & in some media is a demi-god of sorts.

#

I still believe.

granite ether
#

according to the roadmap there's only 1 more story character that's gonna be added to the game

#

I highly doubt it will be Arachne

crude hazel
#

I mean it's a nice idea, but we don't even have a reason to think Zag is going to get outfits.

#

I'd probably be a lot of extra work for the devs.

granite ether
#

it is a metric tonne of extra work

#

there's a steam thread somewhere that explains why

cyan idol
#

Just a thought really.

granite ether
crude hazel
#

There we go! I thought it'd be something like that.

brisk trail
#

Is Hades more like Children of Morta, so grind to win with bits of story, or more like Binding of Issac, skill and practice + RNG?

granite ether
#

kinda both; it really depends on what you want to get out of hades most

prime fox
#

question about one of the items in the game: the shattered shackle. does it lose its effect if you get a boon thats unrelated to attack or special, like a dash boon?

high island
#

You have a lot of control over the difficulty. So, you can just do low difficulty and speedrun through it, or you can turn on every option and have a serious challenge ahead of you.

#

@prime fox no, you only lose the effect on Attack if you get an Attack boon, Special if you get a Special boon, or Cast if you get a Cast boon.

crude hazel
#

Though keep in mind.

#

Binding if Isaac is way, way easier than Hades.

#

It takes more effort to luck into a good build, and even the luckiest build can't just instantly clear rooms without any concern.

nimble sinew
#

issac shouldn't be compared to anything as issac is garbage

granite ether
#

klinkShrug Isaac is far from garbage, it's incredibly high variance and that's not for everyone

Well, it's not too difficult, but it most definitely will not win itself, gotta put some effort through the whole run

vale acorn
#

Hey I have a screenshot of a bug, where should I post that

crude hazel
#

Most roguelikes/lites are pretty hard.

#

Isaac just isn't one of them.

brisk trail
#

Is Hades harder than for example. Enter the Gungeon or Children of morta?

cloud apex
#

Roughly equal to EtG as far as I can tell

#

it's a bit hard to compare since i played etg when only starting roguelite career and was real bad at it, hades was approached with experience and beaten in a dozen runs

granite ether
#

the difficulty of Hades is also hard to quantify because of ||the pact of punishment||

brisk trail
#

I mean, let me put it like this. I got to the 2nd boss on my 4th run without any issues, and I was surprised that it was so easy

#

I thought there is some huge change in the word or difficulty, like a difficulty spike later on I will not be able to overcome

#

But apparently I'll be ok with the experience from roguelikes I already have

cloud apex
#

If you reached 2nd boss that early, you definitely will be okay yeah. There is only a final boss that you may get stuck on for a good while, but nothing that some eventual luck can't fix

brisk trail
#

And just out of curiosity, are there any items or important elements that are missable? And I should know about them beforehand?

granite ether
#

none that I'm aware of

Just talk to everybody and gift them a nectar whenever possible, most of the gameplay will be explained along the way

first of all thanks, didn't know that, never noticed that, even though I am on roughly 130 attempts. Secondly though, that isn't really what I mean. More sex is great, but I was more talking about their usual hangout shifting from meg always in the longue and Than always in the westhall to sometimes they are at your place because they just want to chat or maybe challenge you in that damn game? Im going to look really stupid in a moment when you tell me that you can actually challenge them, but believe me I tried it hasn't worked out yet.

Nectar from troves still dont give +1 to a skill when you have it unlocked

They don't count as chamber rewards, which is the trigger for the level up. They do give health with Premium Vintage.

||v1.0: Heracles becomes your new personal trainer||

then change the wording on the upgrade.

Premium Vintage nectar for some reason counts as chamber reward then

"Collecting Nectar gives a random Boon +1 Lv."

cloud apex
#

not that i mind too much
No idea on that one tbh

agile saddle
#

that doesnt specify

marsh rivet
#

Yeah idk either. But the nectar phrasing should definitely be more specific

past mirage
#

Hm. Feedback time, I'd say - it would be fairer to always give the level up. If a nectar from a trove is supposed to be jackpot, better go all the way.

agile saddle
#

Darkness from Poseidon sunken treasure doesn't give health either.

marsh rivet
#

Lmao, you could win a small jackpot and get a full Centaur Heart or 100 obols from Sunken Treasure

past mirage
#

Do you mean Mirror Healing or maximum health?

marsh rivet
#

mirror healing?

agile saddle
#

yeah but again specify the wording.

#

Collecting Darkness also gives you +5 Health.

it needs to say " Collecting Darkness as a chamber reward also gives you +5 Health."

marsh rivet
#

Yeah, agreed. Or you know, change the functionality to make it accurate heh

past mirage
#

You're absolutely right.

marsh rivet
#

It's already pretty underpowered as it stands

(i know it's free lol)

cloud apex
#

Le shrug. Over the course of run it nets like 30 max health which is pretty huge for permanent upgrade

marsh rivet
#

You open 6 Darkness rooms in a run?

cloud apex
#

No, but bosses give darkness too

#

It's their chamber reward

marsh rivet
#

Oh, right. Yeah I guess that's fair. Though it's funny when I'm repeating a seed on a weapon without maxed bounties at high heat

#

Unnecessary handicap I guess

cloud apex

I use his darkness for healing quite often, and it doesn't give maximum health.

@urban heron gotcha that makes sense. Now I want them to be able to play the tabletop game...

#

I would like to give my feedback based on my experience in the game. However i seem to be unable to type in the feedback section, so ill say it here.
Basically, im unable to catch a legendary fish (rip reaction time xD) and would love if the devs could include a practice fishing spot so i could practice before every run.

marsh rivet
#

They used to have one :3

#

I'm not entirely sure why they got rid of it lol

#

(Room 1 used to "always" spawn a fish, so it was easy to practice by just giving up the run)

past mirage
#

You can give feedback by joining the Early Access role in #bot-commands.

marsh rivet
#

Gotta keep that gemstone economy balanced

past mirage
#

The scarcity of the first room fishing spot also has the side effect that when you get an early Chaos gate, the chances of a spot there increase.

#

So it's not all bad.

marsh rivet
#

You mean the chances of missing it because you hear the ding after selecting a door, gotcha

past mirage
#

That too

#

@open mesa To be able to post in #hades-feedback , read the pins in that channel

This method is sort of obtuse, to be honest.

It's like an aptitude test.

Lol, yeah I thought so too. Where does your fancy yellow name come from?

Yellow comes from the All the games! role.

soooo, as a person debating on getting the game, how close is the game to completion, and ending early access? cause i saw that there was a lot of story out already.

rough token
#

it'll be out later this year

merry harbor
#

As far as we're aware, the next major patch is going to be it exiting early access (the 1.0 version), which will have the conclusion of the story and a lot of other little goodies. Aside from that patch, everything major is here and all buut one aspect of the weapons is useable.

rough token
#

and it's pretty close to complete

red ore
#

i see, then maybe its better to just suck it up and wait till its out to get the full package in one go

merry harbor
#

You could! You wouldn't be losing anything by picking it up now, but if you're the kind who can get burned out by playing a game a lot that might be a good idea.

#

It's pretty low on bugs (most of which are cosmetic) and there's... a lot of stuff here if you change your mind.

red ore
#

yeaaah, but it bugs me that ill get to a certain point in the story and not have a closure before waiting you know

rough token
#

they did it very well

red ore
#

imagining if halfway through transistor you had to wait a while

rough token
#

so it doesn't feel bad

#

though I do understand that

#

I'm not gonna say what they did to patch up the ending pre-full release, but I enjoyed it

merry harbor
#

The way they did the early access ending feels like, fitting to itself, luckily! it plays off the fact that the game, in universe, is going through changes up until a certain point (i.e, end of EA). So it doesn't feel unsatisfying.

#

plus most of the actual story content takes place not during an escape attempt, but back at the pre-run base, so you'd still be gonig back there a LOT, early access or no

red ore
#

hmm, i see

#

dang, im sold, as long as i dont hang off of a cliff

you'll have to do like 60 runs before you get close to a cliff.

#

so, about second-to-last feedback on elysium eyes respawning at their weapons - what's wrong with it? is the information incorrect or people just disliked the proposition?

#

genuinely curious

past mirage
#

I think that most people think the respawn mechanic is already obvious enough as it is. I understand your point - comprehending the mechanic isn't that trivial - so I abstained, but I think there needn't be said more then there already is.

#

The "One's respawning" line really says it all.

#

As for the visual indicator - the game already has a problem of visual cluttering, and the lines of light wouldn't make it easier.

#

What's more, the souls can change the weapon they were going for when hit, so it is not predetermined what weapon they will spawn into.

crude hazel
#

I thought it was pretty clear.

past mirage
#

The many dislikes are probably a "don't change what needn't be changed" opinion.

crude hazel
#

Pretty much, yup.

#

Like I think the ghostly weapons left all over are a pretty good visual tell to begin with.

#

And Zagreus says they're re-arming all the time just in case you don't get it.

granite ether
#

the change if made also takes time to implement such time that's taken away from focusing on 1.0's launch

past mirage
#

There was a somewhat related feedback earlier about why the exalted all look the same. The reason is that they can actually change weapons after being reduced to their soul form, is my explanation. As for why they are black and blue - beats me.

granite ether
#

why they're the colour palette they are, no idea. However at this point changing the colour palette is a significant amount of work, same reason why we won't see any alternate skins for zag

crude hazel
#

It does make them distinct enough.

cloud apex
#

I do wonder what would be the alternative palette if one was to be designed

Does this mean no new weapons are going to be added in future?

granite ether
#

only one new aspect is going to be added according to the roadmap

crude hazel
#

No new weapons are on the horizon for the time being.

@past mirage it wasn't my suggestion, it's just my mind blown about that respawn mechanic. I was sure eyes were on timer

I did know that the feedback came from somebody else.

Best to keep any final boss fight discussion to #h1-builds-and-combat because that's spoilers in this here channel, too.

i don't get it, with the fist i haven't had the more range for at least the last 10 runs, is that upgrade still in the game?

high island

It is.

i guess i'm jsut super unlucky

high island
#

Well, it's to be expected over a large number of runs that you'll have some stretches where you don't see a particular hammer or boon.

candid glen
#

i was used to gettting it like 2/3 of the time, so no seeing it at all for this long was a surprise

brisk trail
#

Are there any guides/tips for bosses in the game?

probably?

@brisk trail I compiled all the final boss strategies that I've shared here in the server in a document awhile ago. I'll link it in #h1-builds-and-combat.

@past mirage
Wait they can change weapons

past mirage
#

The souls seem to have a preference for their original weapon, but if you interrupt them and let them get away, they will go for the nearest weapon, even if it makes them change. I saw that on numerous occasions.

What I haven't figured out is whether BP mods transfer.

Chaos Aspect and Zeus Aspect can't get that upgrade.

It lets you charge your Special for up to 5x damage.

am I correct in assuming that if you enter a Trial of the Gods chamber, you can't get a duo boon from both gods? Like, a Dio/Ares trial can't give you a Dio/Ares duo boon?

Hey, something I noticed and I am not sure if it is a bug or me being blind: not all the boons are showing up in my permanent record.

I am definitely missing Supporting fire and festive fog and with those two not on there it could be that I am forgetting some, but with supporting fire being one of my favorite boons, I thought I should check out just how often I got it, definitely not on there.
