hollow halo
yeah i hover around 22 mins
mostly thats because i do almost every trove though
as well as takinng time for selecting rooms
manic bobcat
Just pause so TD doesn't take thinking time
reef pasture
sometimes i've taken a room and been like "wait maybe i should take the other"
also always take room skips if down on time 👍
hollow halo
almost always the room i pick is my first instinct i just like to hem and haw
reef pasture
"gee I'm low on time, should I visit Charon or should I take this Pom encounter?"
hollow halo
dont forget the classic wasting three fateds just to go with the original choice
raven vale
If you learn to insta-pause when clearing an encounter you'll have so much time at the end
Also you'll see extra gold 😄
hollow halo
i guess
raven vale
Could be easy to disable if they wanted to
You can't even check your boons with clock stopping so..
hollow halo
personally i dont do it but i wont berate you for it
reef pasture
the worst feeling is seeing a +15 coin urn in the corner of your eye as you dash and immediately exit the room to save that 0.5 seconds LOL
raven vale
It's a habit I guess
hollow halo
really wish they added the option to always see what chamber youre on
manic bobcat
We have mods for that
fading gazelle
It mentions which chamber you're on when you open the boon info
Or at least I recall something of the sort
hollow halo
yeah it does but it would be nice if its in the vanilla game
fading gazelle
I remember seeing a chamber counter though?
hollow halo
its in top right fox
manic bobcat
If you hit boon menu you can see it
hollow halo
shows what chanber number
fading gazelle
Oh thank god
native sorrel
i got meg down to a single hit
manic bobcat
It doesn't stay there though
hollow halo
i dont have the source code or anything but i cant imagine that it would be hard to code in an option to havenit always active
native sorrel
then dodged into one of her bullets
manic bobcat
then dodged into one of her bullets
Technically you didn't dodge the bullet
hollow heron
we've all been there
native sorrel
looking on the bright side, i found out cluster bombs are great for eris aspect
reef pasture
I had an Eris Aspect run with the x5 Special + Special is a Rocket upgrades. Found like a +125% Special Damage Poseidon Boon, and everything died via point blank rocket shotgun 
native sorrel
amazing
reef pasture
TIL that if you get Rare Crop (Demeter Boon which makes boons common and then they gain rarity every few encounters), then purge one of the boons that was affected, but then get the same boon back later in the run, Rare Crop still applies lmao
brisk trail
Are rerolls permanent or do they dissappear when run is over?
patent topaz
So uh... we did it boys
Hades is 1# game bought on Switch
I mean, you did it, i don't have a Switch but... whoohoo! 
🎉
brisk trail
I don't think Hades has beaten something like BoTW unless you mean #1 in the past few days or months.
raw marten
God, imagine this game on PS Vita.
viral rover
ReRolls reset to the value of the mirror when you go back to the House. So if you have only 1 reroll from the mirror, but end a run with 2 rolls that you gained from picking up upgraded keys you will have 1 roll next time @brisk trail
little pike
granite ether
that sounds like something for #hades-feedback @little pike
be sure to read the pinned messages and follow the instructions to get the 'early access' role ^_^
quartz flume
Are Aphrodite's or Artemis's Calls of any use? Weren't very impressive to me so far, but maybe I just don't know how yo use them
bright pine
I use Aphrodite's
hollow heron
aphro's is decent
bright pine
Got me through one boss (and half)
hollow heron
although worse than it used to be
artemis's is fine i guess?
it;s a call
calls are good
free iframes
quartz flume
It's like charm for 5 seconds doesn't really turn the tides
bright pine
if you are against a single opponent, it's a stun (yay!)
bright pine
if you are facing a number of opponents, it is an ally
hollow heron
all calls also give you like 5 or smth invincible frames upon use
bright pine
And don'T tell me you don't want the bull and his massive damage on your side for at least 5 seconds
brisk trail
@narrow hemlock no not steam trading cards
charons discount card in-game
I had acquired it before 1.0 but the game didnt give me the achievement for it like it did for the other achievements
do i have to acquire the card again and is it possible that charon will give the card again?
Have done like 20+ since I last acquired it, havent seen another time
wild plover
Artemis call is really good, it's actually my fav.. It can os phases of boss.. Like Theseus just gets obliterated by it c:
Find it in epic, upgrade it one or two times and you have yourself more than 2k damage when fully charged 😄
Although it's not very good unless fully charged
So less i-frames :/
native sorrel
It's like charm for 5 seconds doesn't really turn the tides
@quartz flume aphrodite's call's highlight is the full bar dmg

split venture
Hey, how much ambrosia do i need?
steel flicker
A lot
split venture
i don't see any use for it except for late game character stuff
plush flax
A lot, but less than is avalible from all 6 weapons going through each Heat
reef pasture
@split venture Ambrosia is used ||to level up late-stage heart bonding with characters, and also to upgrade Cthonic Companions||. You will quickly run out if you're trying to max everything you can with it (especially the latter). If not, you'll have plenty 🙂
plush flax
Pretty sure they only give bounties up to ~20. But yeah, character stuff, ||Companion upgrades,|| one or two Contractor purchases.
split venture
oh so it's probably worth making it into titan blood for now, relationships are low lvl for now
plush flax
I don't believe you ever need to go out of your way to buy/trade for more of it.
Honestly though, you get 2 blood per run, vs 1 ambrosia, so... not sure if that's really worth it?
split venture
fair
plush flax
Blood builds up fairly fast
reef pasture
Blood Builds up fairly fast but unlocking all aspects + max'ing them out quickly adds up too!
I would say though: play how you want! Not sure if you've acquired this House Contractor item yet, but once you get ||the Fated Prophecies list, a lot of Fated Prophecies award Ambrosia, so you'll have quite a bit.||
humble quarry
so you can ||fish in the surface! interesting, i got a trout and exchanged it for a diamond||
reef pasture
I know that I traded a lot of Ambrosia for Titan Blood, whenever I felt like I had more than enough Ambrosia to cover friendship-building for a while. Otherwise, keep running to get more Ambrosia!
rigid narwhal
@humble quarry ||I fished and got a bass, it traded for an ambrosia!!||
indigo oar
which weapon do you think is the strongest?
native sorrel
how do i get more than [amount of weapons] titan bloods
peak copper
shell crescent
rare crop doesn't drop the rarity of all my boons, does it?
merry marsh
No, just a max of 4 if it's heroic
shell crescent
aight thanks
merry marsh
To a min of 1 as common
I got it earlier as a room 2 Styx reward
Forced to finish all 5 rooms so I get heroic tier from rare crop lololol
worldly hazel
Whats better hades or death cells :D?
merry marsh
For the challenge rating definitely dead cells
But for the story and depth of lore hades hands down
plush flax
how do i get more than [amount of weapons] titan bloods
@native sorrel First and last boss both give Blood, and you can re-get these bounties for each weapon for each Heat rank (Heat unlocked after beating the last boss for the first time)
No, just a max of 4 if it's heroic
@merry marsh How does that work? Will it pick a new boon if it gets upgraded to Heroic?
carmine storm
aww game just crashed when I entered the arena
kindred onyx

is it worth giving one gift to one person ?
steel flicker
Yes
lone creek
Hello! i got a problem with the game sadly
Every texture looks like it's not fully rendered. all mobs/ncps etc looks like their corners of the textures are behind invisible walls
undone plaza
@lone creek Post it in tech-support server, so it can be seen and also press F10 while in-game if possible and describe your issue. It will help the tech team to solve it
I just noticed you posted it there already 😉 But press the F10 if you haven't already
severe flare
Finally, my Zag beat 4th boss.
I felt sad for Zag.
|| His life is such a tragedy. It had ended before it started. ||
ancient spruce
Is there any point in using higher heat than what your current maximum is to unlock new stuff?
other than giving oneself a higher challenge for the sake of it?
vale kite
the first time you do a run at a certain heat level you'll get bounties
so it's necessary to do heat runs in order to get titan blood/diamonds/ambrosia quickly
ancient spruce
I know
my question is is there a reason to turn the heat even higher
is there a reason to exceed the heat gauge
vale kite
not really no
ancient spruce
okay 🙂
jade kindle
Nope, just for fun
Btw I just noticed that Steam actually tells you what you/whoever is playing is doing in the game
For example: Preparing to battle out of hell, Battling out of Tartarus, Somewhere in Chaos
It's a really nice touch
void vigil
ikr? i love it
real storm
whats the diffrence between x64 fiels and x86 fiels?
wise kiln
do you guys think there will be more content updates or paid expansions down the line?
gusty slate
Dunno, don't think SGG has confirmed or denied anything yet- they're taking a break
I'd say higher probability to move on though, been a long time on Hades
granite ether
Once we're sure our v1.0 launch has settled, our small team will be taking a break to recharge, and plan what's next. We'll be excited to say more about what's in store for us just as soon as we're ready.

I really want to play this game but can’t because my save file won’t load and if I start a new could happen again
ancient spruce
is there an option to completely disable the HUD in this game?
mellow haven
if you stand still for long enough I think
ancient spruce
but not for normal gameplay
frosty thistle
If the heat requirement is 15 and you turn it up to 20 instantly and you clear the run, can you still get bounties for 16?
shell crescent
Is there any actual downside to using an olympians greater call against them in a trial other than being yelled at?
frosty thistle
No
shell crescent
aight
fair dove
If the heat requirement is 15 and you turn it up to 20 instantly and you clear the run, can you still get bounties for 16?
@frosty thistle I believe so yes
So if u clear 20 heat five times right after u clear 15, you’ll get rewards for 16, 17, 18, 19, and finally 20
livid cargo
@peak copper impressive
wind nest
Very impressive
sharp sluice
how many titan blood do i need to upgrade every aspect to max ?
flat vapor
you need ||306 for every single aspect, maxed||
with bounties, trades, and prophecies, this is very achievable
sharp sluice
306 ok i jsut need 246 more
flat vapor
it'll just... take a while though
sharp sluice
i am using chaos shield to get all max heat before i jump with the other weapons
robust mica
YES! I completed the game on 8th run! 😄
@peak copper meanwhile I need to make god mode resistance to %100 finish the game
warm dove
you can have titan by complete the fate too
personally i dont maxed everythings tho
sharp sluice
i am almost done with fate
i have like what....4 final fates to fulfill
early access of hades was tougher i think, specially with charon titan blood costing 1.5k coins
with release it cost 1.2k, is achievable until you add the heat feet
final lagoon
You know fellas, I love this game, but my one complaint is that the main menu music blows my eardrums out and theres no separate slider for it.
sharp sluice
you can lower the volume
final lagoon
of the main menu music only? because in game the volume is perfect
final lagoon
well, yea, but that involves lowering the in-game
sharp sluice
🤔
final lagoon
I'll see if I can find a sweet spot I guess
sharp sluice
#hades-feedback @final lagoon
that should help you out in case they want to introduce it
fair dove
Guys
Does dash upper
Count as special
In terms of boons buffs
Like would it get the same boon special effects
flat vapor
yes, in the same way dash attacks count as attacks (for the purposes of boons)
frigid scarab
Has anyone else got a random achievement(s) for just starting the game?
I got one the other day for maxing all keepsakes but I literally started my first run
sharp sluice
there's a dadelus change(forge) that makes your twin fist dash attack be part of the attack sequences!!!
cinder lichen
Wait, there was a “Perfect Landing” text?
bright pine
I've just gotten Poseidon's fishing boon the moment I rolled out of the window
fair dove
Yo guys how do I get a fishing rod?
bright pine
You slice your way through 4 zones, and tehn pay the Contractor... one or two diamonds was it?
fair dove
Also how does Olympian keepsakes work? Does the guarantee boon effect refresh at each biome? So if I keep the same keepsake at both biome 1 and 2, does it mean the first boon of each of those biomes would be the one I picked?
You slice your way through 4 zones, and tehn pay the Contractor... one or two diamonds was it?
@bright pine what does slice ur way thru 4 zones mean
Do I have to beat redacted to purchase a fishing rod
bright pine
No, you don't.
You just have to get to redacted.
Or maybe just the area that goes immedietally before.
By 4 zones I mean Tartarus, Asphodel, and hatever comes next.
gusty slate
I thought it was get to redacted, but it has been ages since I've done that
bright pine
I thought it was get to redacted, but it has been ages since I've done that
@gusty slate I am not sure, because I got to redacted on my first way in teh areay
fair dove
What about the Olympian keepsake?
bright pine
Oh, those goys there are the worst
gusty slate
I use Olympian keepsakes to cater my builds
fair dove
how does Olympian keepsakes work? Does the guarantee boon effect refresh at each biome? So if I keep the same keepsake at both biome 1 and 2, does it mean the first boon of each of those biomes would be the one I picked?
gusty slate
It's one time use and is used up once you take their boon
fair dove
Damn
gusty slate
For that run of course
gusty slate
I don't recall if the rare chance is applied after taking the boon
fair dove
But the guarantee effect is used once per run?
Meaning it doesn’t refresh’s after crossing biomes?
gusty slate
Yea it doens't refresh
fair dove
Ah ok thx
gusty slate
Apparently it also competes with Hermes so you might seem Hermes before your desired boon lol
At least that's what I obsrve from my experience
spark vale
what do i need to do to find rare fishes? i've gotten something like 150 catches without a rare apparently...
gusty slate
Gotta get near perfect timing once it bobs down with a light :/
Even then it's a chance
Lemme tell you the actual stat... sec
Less than 0.34 second: Perfect catch. Guaranteed to catch a Rare fish. 5% chance to catch a Legendary fish
0.34 second to 1.0 second: Catch. 5% chance to catch a Rare fish.
After 1 second: fail with a "Too Late" message.
spark vale
so you should get a rare ~1/20 catches then? hmmmmmm
without pressing the button quick
unlucky i guess
gusty slate
Probably 
main venture
Damn, the reaction time is kinda insane
spark vale
ohhhh wait
gusty slate
This is from wiki, so might've changed
spark vale
no i was misreading
i'm looking for legendary, not rare, i think
that's probably why
thanks 🙂
gusty slate
I think so too, legendaries are hard XD
main venture
Also, did the game get harder, or it's just me being rusty as Tartarus?
spark vale
i think its you being rusty? that happened to me after a break
gusty slate
Did you place Blood Price update? The update before v1.0
main venture
The Charon one? nope.
gusty slate
I think there was mentioning that enemies hit faster or the like
So probably
I just got used to it 
main venture
That's the problem then. I was almost thinking of dropping Forced Overtime.
gusty slate
Their animations were probably cleaned up a bit
main venture
It's the one I chose to be always on, since I have to get used to harsher conditions anyway.
gusty slate
I run FO2 at all times now
main venture
I was doing it too before I gave it a pause lol
Final boss is surprisingly faster now.
gusty slate
Zag does too if you die to it enough, he'll say a line
brittle lava
i LOVE this game!!!,just wanted to say that
main venture
Will be a pain to beat Heat 8 now, but oh well, gotta endure! Will need to beat final boss at least three times to get the final 2 hidden aspects lol
gusty slate
Good luck, you got this!
main venture
My next run will be Heat 9 with the hidden rail aspect, wanna see how this baby works.
gusty slate
Super ||Soaker||
fading gazelle
Nyes 
main venture
Also can't wait to get back to fists, man. Talos Aspect is my absolute favorite weapon in this game.
fringe lotus
Anyone else feel like Athena dash is necessary or am I just bad?
gusty slate
It's just super nice to have, can win without though
Maybe required for high heats dunno
fringe lotus
I'm just having a rough time if I don't get it in a run even if I have crazy damage
gusty slate
Yeah enemy projectiles can get pretty redic
Some of the mirror upgrades can help with surviving
I might be one of the few people who run Abyssal Blood (-dmg and speed on stuck enemies) because I like to facetank lol
fringe lotus
You're a madman lol
gusty slate
My playstyle is to flail around, it has worked up to 19/20 heat...somehow?
Although I play hit and run with the ranged stuff
carmine ravine
does this game have any 4k walpapers
inland quarry
Man got one of my best runs, but i lost it to asterios in elysium. Basicly it was charged bow special with ares special.
Also Athena dash and cast. It was a good trip, though I felt like I was gonna die every second after Meg.
Also charon's boon helped me alot.
bright pine
(I barge into this conversation with my latest accomplishment. Finally gotten to ratio 200 kills per escape attempt [200kpea?])

Gg.
inland quarry
Man, i had a bunch of lost progress because win10 is very dum when it comes to saving save data. But that was more for me to get used to the game since I just bought it yesterday night.
It's HELLa fun.
gusty slate
Is there a way to cloud save?
Never figured that out, I just manually backup my saves every week lol
gusty slate
I play steam. dunno.
fading gazelle
Oh then just enable it
gusty slate
Ah I see
fading gazelle
Right click on Hades -> click properties -> Go to Updates -> enable cloud sync
That should be the step by step
fringe lotus
Anyone know how to ugprade weapons? I had a line of dialogue when I picked up an item that said "I could use this to upgrade the aspects of my weapons" but I have no idea where to do that
gusty slate
Need all weapons unlocked and then you should have the option to do so
fringe lotus
Ohhh okay
bright pine
In Ares' eyes that's rookie numbers
@gusty slate welp, I am very bad at hack-slashing, so Lord Ares should acknowledge I am improving. Used to have, like, 13 kpea
hallow cargo
so, uh, how do you get the friends in high places achievement?
i thought it was just "use a level 5 call"
fading gazelle
It is essentially just that
fading gazelle
Level 4 for most of them
bright pine
just wait till you get the "press F for Greater Call" prompt on the screen and then on the next room the latst the achievement should pop
bright pine
sometimes these things award achievement in the next room, because the game needs to save.
i've done that like three times in a few different runs
@hallow cargo hmmm...
and.. you don't have it yet?
hallow cargo
i hadn't played until today since a few days after the malphon update, but
i don't see why i don't have it yet
i've used maxed poseidon call like 5 times in a run lol
and used maxed demeter call last run
bright pine
weird.
hallow cargo
yeah
bright pine
Mayve poke it into tech support?
or maybe demeter doesn't count, since she isn't in the list of minor prophecies?
obtuse crater
this might be too late already to sugget and they are just going to patch stuff and go to holiday. but i really think that some kind of daily chanllenge/run could be fun for highscores

It should come back I guess?
cause the ones you missed would probably be lore important

alright, was wondering
brittle zealot
I will never understand why Euridice keeps her bed and stove right next to each other
bright pine
To be warm?
old palm
Rent is expensive
brittle zealot
can't be warmth, she's stationed in Asphodel
bright pine
IDK, but in here it is a common fairy-tale trope is that kids sleep ON the stove
Maybe her spacing is on the budget
Maybe she is showing she’s not a kid
gusty slate
The warmth of an oven must beat the warmth of lava
It's a calm and caressing warmth. The lava is.. well we all know.
viral rover
It's a riverfront studio apartment, ain't much space to work with
brittle zealot
but like, wouldn't it make more sense if her bed is on one end, stove on the other end, and she can have her table in between
much less of a fire hazard
gusty slate
Her bed is graded for Asphodel heats
brittle zealot
heat and fire aren't the same thing
white merlin
whats the best weapon ?
manic bobcat
The one you like
gusty slate
Zag is the greatest weapon
brittle zealot
the best weapon is your ability and tenacity

What is the condition of meeting eurydice in ur run? I’m thinking of getting acorn
fair dove
U guys are some real 4Head advice givers
white merlin
how many areas are there ?
brittle zealot
the condition of meeting Eurydice is just keep going through Asphodel
manic bobcat
4
brittle zealot
you'll meet her eventually
white merlin
ok
white merlin
my best is 3
brittle zealot
there's no real way to force an encounter

my best is 3
@white merlin did u beat the 3rd boss?
grave lynx
Hey so quick question, and I probably know the answer but I like confirmation; is this playable offline or is it online-only?
gusty slate
Isn't it completely offline?
analog elbow
Both
white merlin
no @fair dove
manic bobcat
Offline
fair dove
there's no real way to force an encounter
@brittle zealot but are there like pre conditions?
manic bobcat
In fact the game is DRM free
grave lynx
Wait really?
gusty slate
Well unless your save is tied to cloud
grave lynx
What is DRM..?
fair dove
Wait really?
@grave lynx it’s a local game why not
viral rover
Digital Rights Management
grave lynx
Ah
manic bobcat
It means you don't even need to launch steam to get it to work
brittle zealot
@fair dove well, I believe having Orpheus in the court might speed up meeting her
gusty slate
I think it's still RNG
manic bobcat
Find the .exe folder and launch it directly from there
grave lynx
Because I was thinking if I can get it on Switch, I’d take it to work with me where we don’t have public WiFi
fair dove
@fair dove well, I believe having Orpheus in the court might speed up meeting her
@brittle zealot the musician? I just got him yesterday

is the achievement of the keepsakes bugged on steam? got it ingame but steam still there

Yesssss
fair dove
Tested by me 😃👍

@fair dove then just keep going through Asphodel, you'll meet her eventually

@fair dove then just keep going through Asphodel, you'll meet her eventually
@brittle zealot aight ty

Also as far as Orpheus/Eurydice, I met Eurydice before unlocking him so I dunno if that has any bearing

I want acorn so bad
brittle zealot
yeah it is possible to meet Eurydice before ever unlocking Orpheus

Oh whoops, I reset my game for the 1.0 launch and made it to the final boss on the second run 😢

is there anyway to tell whether youll get butterflies or Asterius

I’ve seen someone call bouldy in combat? Drop some damage and healing?

fair dove
How do I get that
brittle zealot
you have to max out certain bonds, then give them ambrosia
warm dove
@fair dove you have more relationship, bonding and unlock something ||call companion|| late game stuff

Anyone know if blood frenzy stacks?
"After death defiance, deal more damage that encounter"
viral rover
It doesn't stack, as far as I have encountered

Damn
brittle zealot
I wish the right stick can pan the camera, there are a lot of moments I wish can scout out larger rooms
manic bobcat
Yeah. One of the few faults I find in the game
Some chambers are too big while your POV is too small
brittle zealot
like it's really weird that this entire analogue stick just does nothing
gusty slate
I request a bat scout
brittle zealot
unless you use the railgun, then it becomes a manual reload
bleak gate
God I’m loving this game, it uses the genre of rogue-like as its biggest strength and makes it something very enjoyable and infinitely replayable. Literally the only thing I don’t like, is that Switch Docked looks kinda low-res, and I want to appreciate all the art assets in their full glory 😂 it looks incredible handheld though 🔥
fair dove
Is keep upgrading death defiance the good choice early on
manic bobcat
Yup
fair dove
Or should I get stubborn defiance instead
manic bobcat
Death Defiance is the more consistent choice.
fair dove
Even early game tho?
fair dove
Level 1 SD vs level 2 DD?
brittle zealot
I prefer Lv 2 DD
fair dove
Ah ok thanks y’all
manic bobcat
Stubborn is useful but I think most people vibe with Deadth Defiance more.
brittle zealot
I don't get enough Darkness fast enough to really gauge out every comparison
manic bobcat
That said Stubborn is almost strictly better with certain conditions in the late late game
fair dove
I haven’t even unlocked the second set of talent yet
With the keys
Should I do those first before level 2 dd
narrow hemlock
oh yeah you will want stubborn if you have lasting consequences cranked up lmao death defiance will not work
analog elbow
Do what sounds cool
analog elbow
It’ll all be unlocked after a while anyway
fair dove
I hate picking up the stones
analog elbow
Haiii
fair dove
I barely use casts now that I think about it
I usually just skip cast boons
Don’t find them that useful
coral verge
some casts are pretty broken, there's also a boon where you auto retrieve the stones
fair dove
some casts are pretty broken, there's also a boon where you auto retrieve the stones
@coral verge can’t u do that with Stygian souls
coral verge
not sure
manic bobcat
No
coral verge
the drunk aoe cast and Ares cast are pretty great
unkempt sleet
Stygian just makes your cast regenerate. There's a legendary that auto picks up the stones right as they're available
manic bobcat
That legendary changes based on what "Soul" you have

I just found out about the game and I love it!
Also I saw that there is a nintendo switch version, will there be coming a retail version? 🙂

Like a physical copy?

Yes! 🙂
manic bobcat
I don't think they have plans for that. I wouldn't hold my breath, unfortunately.

Lets hope the game is a hit, I'd love to have a physical copy :)
But then I'll wait for cross-save and play on PC for now, thank you mate!

For some reason i can't give her the ambrosia
to get her to max hearts
Is there just a very specific place i have to do it at?
narrow hemlock
you need to see specific lines from her first
keep talking to her, it'll happen naturally
brisk trail
Huh
narrow hemlock
unless you're unlocked already?
brisk trail
wait now you're making me doubt myself
narrow hemlock
do you have a 
brisk trail
ye
narrow hemlock
then keep talking to her
narrow hemlock
you'll want to see ||her talking about Callisto.||
rotund frost
I notice the chamber rewards feel a lot more random lately. Like getting 4 centaur hearts in a row Asphodel, or just now finishing a run and only finding one Cthonic Key. Anyone else noticing a similar increase in randomness?
brisk trail
Oh i see. I recently got her voiceline where she tells me ||she's been talking about me with callisto. Not shouting it out into the mountaintops. ||
So maybe i'm close?
gusty slate
No o.O, wish I had 4 in a row
narrow hemlock
you're close. she has multiple lines about it, you have to see them all and in your next runs the heart should unlock
narrow hemlock
really wish i could type lmao
brisk trail
lol i get the feeling
I've also been wanting to try out the ||Charon boss fight again. But the option hasn't appeared to me since losing my first fight with him. ||
^spoilers for a hidden boss fight
maybe i'm just absurdly unlucky
gusty slate
Took me a long time to do that prophecy. RNG is mean

@brisk trail || fight is only possible in mid-biome shops and not the end shop if you didn't know||

@manic bobcat +20 Stress. Hopeless

2 hard things in mirror you can cheat with your aspect
Ruthless Reflex and High Confident
carmine ravine
Wow the RNG of that happening
@gusty slate the rng is pretty common iirc, if he only took the boon other than the three and dashes
warm dove
first one with new aspect
and the second one with excalibruhhhh
gusty slate
Hm I guess that would make sense, never had it happen before probably because I pick something other than the 3

Fun fact: Thanatos can crit
gusty slate
Ruthless Dash was my goto for some time. I'm still too clutz to use High Confidence
woeful knot
so anyone knows how to unlock fists hidden aspect?
manic bobcat
#h1-story-discussion can help you with that
carmine ravine
fight asterius with fists first, then do a few more runs with any weps
woeful knot
ok i'll look there
broken pilot
is it only in my mind or is there a two player thing in hades? he is talking something about i dont have a player two oO
gusty slate
Fully single player, only 1 Zag
jovial sun
Um. Hello? I'm not sure where should I ask it, but in Temple of Styx, only the final rooms (where you either encounter enemies (mini-bosses) or Satyr sack) counts as Encounters for keepsakes from Thanatos and Hermes. Corridor rooms counts as Encounters only for items from Well of Charon
gusty slate
That sounds about right
warm cipher
Hey everyone. I hope this is the right place to ask this question. Currently going back and forth on getting the game and I have both a switch and PC. Anyone have any insight as to whether one version is a "better" buy than the other? thanks!
cyan python
PC is better
gusty slate
Down to personal preference at that point I suppose. Buying on PC Steam you get access to trading cards and such. Switch you can go mobile
warm cipher
awesome! just wanted to make sure there weren't any glaring technical issues or missing content on one version or something. Thanks
gusty slate
Welcome to the underworld!
fair dove
awesome! just wanted to make sure there weren't any glaring technical issues or missing content on one version or something. Thanks
@warm cipher no there isn’t. You’d be glad to hear that switch version is targeting 60 fps, which is a delight.
warm cipher
that's great to hear. I'm not usually one to obsess over framerate but it's always nice to see a dev making sure things run as smoothly as they can when comparing ports
fair dove
Trust me when I tell u in fast paced action games, 30 fps is not enough
Double the frames is like, 10x the experience
gusty slate
Hm. My braine doesn't work like that it seems
manic bobcat
30 fps for me is certainly a cinematic experience
even 45 fps is choppy. so glad Hades runs well on my PC
warm cipher
What hardware do you have? My gaming PC is getting a little up there in age. I have a NVidia 770 GPU. New games tend to run "ok" - higher than 30 but usually below 60 FPS
manic bobcat
my main computer has an RX580, so not exactly old which runs at ~100 fps
but I do have an old laptop with a GTX 660M
which runs at about 45~ frame
warm cipher
not bad at all. good to know!
manic bobcat
I think your 770 should be OK
warm cipher
definitely sounds like it should be
manic bobcat
given how my 660M runs
broken pilot
i think integrated graphics should be enough, right?
manic bobcat
well I also have an i3 7100u laptops, I tested Hades. it can do 720p at about 40 frames
1080p can be a bit oof
broken pilot
i just think that a AMD Ryzen APU could handle all of it
broken pilot
yeah, but only barely and the game is one of the best optimized games out there
charred grail
Just booting up my game gave me the "Friends Forever" achievement which is maxing out all Keepsakes, and the fun thing is that I don't even have all the Keepsakes
gusty slate
Yep, a known bug
cosmic rivet
Is there any benefit to turning up the heat more than you need for new bounties? (the game is getting a bit easy otherwise)
manic bobcat
not really. although at a certain point, people start doing it for personal challenges
gusty slate
Skelly boyo has rewards
carmine ravine
i guess u get the bounty for that heat
grim turret
There is, actually
Infernal gates open at 5/10/15 heat
so I'll bump up to 15 pretty often, or 10 with a weapon I'm worse with
timber topaz
So, is there a compilation of the 'and then, having escaped, Zagreus tripped and died' lines when you beat the final boss pre-1.0?
narrow hemlock
timber topaz
Oh thanks.
brisk trail
Damn, I didn't remember Minos being this though
Haven't played this game for 2 months and I'm sucking, tho to be fair that was the second run on a new save so ig it's fine.

in the boon list , the boon goes by the name Trippy Shot , but on the actual boon it says Trippy Flare.

How much darkness on average do u gain per run
Assuming u make it to like, the end of third biome
daring niche
made 540 last run i think
fair dove
I might have to take on the weapon rotations to farm for some darkness
Hmmmmm
But I hate it lol
trail raven
i pressed f10 and my screen went light blue wtf
fair dove
I hate using different weapons
manic bobcat
i would say about 200 -300?
manic bobcat
depends on dark thirst and buying stuff from stores
manic bobcat
with thirst
fair dove
I was expecting like, 50
daring niche
f10 should be the report bind @trail raven
fair dove
U hate it that much?
daring niche
tbh its kinda boring
fair dove
I’ll probably skip thirst if it’s on sword or gun
Mayyyyybe bow but I haven’t played too much now
daring niche
i like the gun

Feels clunky to me

thank you spoon

its a break from normal weapons
fair dove
No guns in MY Greek mythology
daring niche
i find it op
manic bobcat
don't buy into the Hestia hype that early in the game
fair dove
Hestia seems underwhelming on paper
manic bobcat
you need like at least 10 titan blood to make Hestia worth it
fair dove
oof
manic bobcat
just stick with your normal one with Lightning Strike
daring niche
yeah
manic bobcat
@fair dove Hera Bow doesn't need upgrade
fair dove
I don’t really like bow
manic bobcat
in fact my Hera is at level 2 rn
fair dove
I played like two runs with bow lol
narrow hemlock
chiron made me enjoy bow, hera made me love it
i couldnt stand zag aspect when i first got it

so ||how do you make the spear heal u when u hold left click||
is that the forth aspect of it?
manic bobcat
yup
daring niche
huh
manic bobcat
that's exactly it

fair dove
I enjoy spear more than bow
manic bobcat
you have half health lol
daring niche
is there a way to get back my titan blood that i spent on the aspacts?
manic bobcat
not really
manic bobcat
then your investment is irreversible
misty ruin
I like how the codex opens to the page of the god(dess) you’re about to receive a boon from
fair dove
Spear feels so good to play
I wish I knew how to use the spin so I could use hades aspect
I just don’t find opportunities to spin while in combat
sinful spruce
Totally new, what's a recommended weapon to unlock first?
brittle zealot
I wish Thanatos appears more often
dusty spade
@sinful spruce just try everything, it's all unique and you may have a favorite one
fading gazelle
Sadly his appearance is pure rng, but you should usually get him in every other run consistently after you've seen him once
fair dove
Totally new, what's a recommended weapon to unlock first?
@sinful spruce blocking damage and wall banging with a shield goes brrrr
fair dove
Spear is also cool
I like spear
And fist
All the weapons are pretty nope
They’re all tuned correctly which I appreciated
Not one is absolutely better than the other

if i switch to a 'next boon you find is from this god' keepsake after beating a floor is it meant to make their boon come next? or is it just the rarity buff
narrow hemlock
the next boon you find is guaranteed to be that god, outside of Hermes sometimes appearing before the others, since that's a trait of his. you only get one charge on the guaranteed boon

Hi people, i play hades since some month on steam and i got it today on switch. I play on switch lite and interface there look very small to me, and really small for some text. Its common issue on lite, but here its a bit annoying and i think there is enough space to make text a bit bigger. I wonder if im alone having this issue a and how report that kind of stuff about switch game.

I guess you can write this in #hades-feedback just in case!

Try talking to Asterius. He might have what you are looking for.

Does the Daedalus upgrade for sword that increases dmg and crit % for your "thrust attack" mean the third hit in the combo or the dash attack? They both thrust.

So I bought Hades on Epic when it first came out but absolutely could not play it on my Surface Go, lol 😆. So I’ve been waiting ever since and am finally playing! Just amazing. Y’all make the best games. Just wanted to say thank you!

the dash attack will be referred to as "dash attack", so don't get confused

Also that you should drop a fancy box set with all 4 of your games together on Switch or something, that would be amazing!

do Hermes attack/special speed boons drop the damage?
or is it just standard gods' attack/special/cast amp?

having a core boon in that slot to the left deactivates it

Yeah, but the game says "No bounties (for now)" message in the pact.
Just wondering if that's supposed to happen.

Once you get used to the attack patterns and such it'll be rather surprising

since when can Asterius' attacks go through shield block? I just lost a life to him and and ||Theseus ||cause his attacks just kept going through block.
reef pasture
It's a bit finicky, I think if you get hit with the tip, it'll block, but the hitbox on their large AoE swings can hit "behind" you and thus you won't block in that case.
agile saddle
he hit me with a few head on charges and the jump towards me and i know it was him cause ||Theseus ||was dead.
