#

Hades is definitely one of my favorite rougelikes, but my opinion is extremely biased because I just love Supergiant games

final lagoon
#

Well you love em for a reason right?

compact pine
#

This is my first game from SuperGiant, pretty damn good first impressions

sterile frigate
#

ive got another hades question, but it's involving the soundtrack. i wanted to get all the different versions of good riddance and i can't find a download of good riddance orpheus solo. it's not on itunes or bandcamp. anyone know where i can purchase it?

manic bobcat
#

Is there a good riddance Orpheus solo?

#

I don't think I've heard it or am I wrong?

granite ether
#

There is in game

minor crystal
#

||Orpheus does sing it in game||

manic bobcat
#

Ty!

sterile frigate
#

its on youtube, and there is a non downloadable/unpurchase-able verson on bandcamp.

muted valley
#

is there a way for you to seed a run??

#

excluding routing

fading gazelle
#

Nope

#

Since the way hades creates seeds differs by each room rather then run

#

I think it'd be complicated

muted valley
#

was confused since on speedrun./com there are two options for any heat, seeded or unseeded

fading gazelle
#

I assume that is via routing

muted valley
#

hmm

fringe garnet
#

IIRC there are mods that let you change rules on the fly

#

Consider seeded like TAS - a theoretically base-possible outcome

compact pine
#

New name check

#

There we go YTB

limpid glacier
#

thanks

manic bobcat
#

I think seed vs unseed really means route vs unrouted.

muted valley
#

hmm thenks

limpid glacier
#

I'm kinda at the point where the first two biomes are kinda like easy-boring and the third biome is reasonable difficulty but i still can't beat the final boss so I'm just kinda... mindlessly smashing buttons for half of a run

minor crystal
#

Yeah I know that feeling

fading gazelle
#

Elysium is always a vibe check

limpid glacier
#

Can't wait to unlock heat

fading gazelle
#

No matter the heat

minor crystal
#

You got this

compact pine
#

I was pretty pleasantly surprised with how difficult the final boss is, bit too used to playing Izaac and destroying mom

#

Also love how there never seems to be a stage where your too op

manic bobcat
#

I recommend heat ||Extreme Measures|| for a 5 gum experience.

fading gazelle
#

Stimulate your senses

muted valley
#

lol

limpid glacier
#

I'm normally not a fan of mirror-like mechanics in roguelikes but I think heat balances it out

fading gazelle
#

Yeah, since there is a literal pact that just removes the mirror

limpid glacier
#

ha, yeah

fading gazelle
#

Routine inspection has me crying 😔

minor crystal
#

Does it also remove keepsakes and stuff?

fading gazelle
#

Thankfully no

manic bobcat
#

No

fading gazelle
#

I'd throw hands if it did

manic bobcat
#

RI4 is arguably the hardest 12 heat you can do.

fading gazelle
#

Slap on stygius and its almost a fresh-file run but with extra steps

manic bobcat
#

True, although you get dash distance attack speed

#

God I will miss the broken mess that was old Zag Sword xD

fading gazelle
#

Haha, sword go brr

manic bobcat
#

Not that I ever use it

fading gazelle
#

🔫 dusa

#

Say sike right now

manic bobcat
#

I used it ||to kill Skelly||.

limpid glacier
#

is there a way to report bugs from the switch version?

#

because ||than|| is invisible rn

manic bobcat
#

He's shy today huh

granite ether
limpid glacier
#

I'm progressing too fast on my switch file for the dialogue to keep up >.>

#

"i heard you beat the bone hydra" you don't say

fading gazelle
#

Lmao I had Poseidon say "I heard you made it to Asphodel last time" after my 50th escape and I'm just like bruh

limpid glacier
#

YEAH

manic bobcat
#

Technically corect though

#

It's like saying I used to suck at this game. I mean I still do, but I used to, too.

limpid glacier
#

does last stand give you a death defiance if you haven't used one yet?

fading gazelle
#

No sadly 😔

limpid glacier
#

lame

manic bobcat
#

Replenish. Can't replenish if you don't lose none.

limpid glacier
#

yeah that's why i asked

manic bobcat
#

I was being facetious also :D

split swift
#

Ngl I do miss the old t-pose animation for the sword

nooooi think my game just bugged

Nice

#

Hey

#

I find funny that Dusa and Aphrodite have one voice actor.

hazy ivy
#

Wait really?

steep mulch
#

quite a few characters share voice actors

hazy ivy
#

Huh, I’d wondered about that especially with Zeus Poseidon and Hades

valid citrus
#

Well Brothers, right?

hazy ivy
#

Guess that makes sense

hearty dock
#

Zeus and Chaos are voiced by the same actor, but he didn’t do Poseidon and Hades’ voices

tired mirage
#

does giving nectar to hades still do nothing?

mellow summit
#

hello, can someone explain the Decorative Themes from the house contractor to me? i dont see where they come into effect O_O

agile crypt
#

MacBook pro...Why does i see only very low resolution options? Like 1200x800? In bootcamp i used to see also 3k x 2800 (something like that....)

viral rover
#

Skelly and Zag are both voiced by Darren, and have conversations with each other

fading gazelle
#

Yo I'm so not used to seeing so many white names in this server shadeembarassed

#

So many new people

#

I'm so happy

marsh jackal
#

How come the final aspects for the weapons are almost always one of the best aspects except for bow?

fading gazelle
#

I mean that's debatable

tawny light
#

Rama isnt bad at all

#

Its just tricky to use

#

Havent tried new Rama.

fading gazelle
#

4th aspect names are spoilers here?

marsh jackal
#

Did they make changes to it?

tawny light
#

Only....L aspect IIRC

novel wasp
#

||Rama|| makes me cry

marsh jackal
#

I haven’t tested since it’s release

tawny light
#

And probably thr nee fist

steel flicker
#

My most successful runs have been with rama recently

marsh jackal
#

I wouldn’t call it outright bad but it’s power level is on par with the other bow aspects

tawny light
#

Yeah, the thing about 4th bow aspect is that ability triggers on the enemies that have it, including the one you shot

#

So if you hit a single enemily with the special and then shoot them, you do attack damage +70% from shared pain

marsh jackal
#

If you go to other weapons like spear and try to have as successful of a run on final aspect as the others (at high heat) would be noticeably more difficult

steel flicker
#

Just shoot special at one enemy, but use attack against somebody who's in the opposite corner of the room. ||Rama|| has a unique ability to damage dangerous enemies without risking coming close to them

tawny light
#

When you say high heat, whats your ballpark figure of it?

fading gazelle
#

40

#

That's mine

tawny light
#

I meant for Ex

marsh jackal
#

At least over 30

tawny light
#

There was a poster who ran Rama at high heat and swore by it.

#

One way to approach Rama is to think of it like a melee weapon

#

Hit them with special, dash up and shoot

#

Get some good famage started early

marsh jackal
#

How close would you say it’s damage potential is to basic bow?

mellow summit
#

hello, can someone explain the Decorative Themes from the house contractor to me? i dont see where they come into effect O_O
@mellow summit
i would still love to know this 😅

gleaming crane
#

UI changes during runs.

tawny light
#

@marsh jackal I wouldnt know how to answer that question. Check out the higj heat channel. People there will give you better insight.

fading gazelle
#

@mellow summit It changes up the UI for your runs and thus the victory screen as well

coral jewel
#

I was using the shield

#

Had such a good run so now Im savin for that xtra 3rd life

oblique socket
#

man, it's weird having to play through on a new save file. got to the third zone on my second run this time, but by that point i was just way too weak to have a chance since i had basically no base upgrades

#

I feel ur pain

fading gazelle
#

There is still a chance to save it!

#

The run or?

#

The run

Which file should I rename

Does the butterfly have a limit ?

brisk trail

@fading gazelle

fading gazelle
#

Do you have multiple?

fading gazelle
#

The most recent one so Profile1.sav.bak

#

How is it you do the spoiler thing? Not sure of something happening to me in my game towards the end is a bug and I'm currently on mobile and can't find the pinned discord commands.

fading mortar
#

Put your words between the characters in the following parenthesis:

#

" || "

#

Right in between those two slashes.

#

Wait

#

I stand corrected.

#

You need two sets of the symbol

#

Im bad at explaining

spare harbor
#

Cool, gonna test ||test||

#

OK, so end game spoilers ||I'm at the point where the queen is back and you can give hades nectar. However, hades is currently stuck at three hearts. There's no lock on the next heart, I have nectar in my possession always, but never seen to be able to give him this. Do I just maybe need to progress the other characters more? This is a fresh save on the switch version. ||

unkempt flax
#

I don't know who implemented this feature, but thank you @cloud arch, @stoic surge, @main magnet... for letting the game pause automatically when your controller disconnects :D
That must be new for 1.0 and has saved my butt a few times already

dusk mantle
#

Heh. Whenever Rama is mentioned, I think of Rama U80-A. 😔

spare harbor
#

Nevermind me, a full game restart fixed it.

astral moat
#

I have to say EM4 is so brutal. I was like "how bad can it be... Where did my health go" Definitely a true stepup, it was amazing

twilit isle
#

||Man I got to hades but I cant beat him prolly coulda with an extra life but dang||
@coral jewel
Uhhh spoiler?

coral jewel
#

Is it tho?

native orbit
#

I wonder, if you played all the voice lines in this game, one after another, what the runtime would end up being. I'm blown away by the sheer amount of content in this game, how little things repeat after so many runs.

plush raptor
#

15 hours into 1.0 now, game still won't give me the final encounter to unlock the hidden fist aspect. I don't know who thought this was a good idea.

native orbit
#

I'm personally a fan of delayed gratification.

granite ether
#

Yes @coral jewel final boss is a spoiler in this channel

carmine ravine
#

have u got the fight me barehanded dialogue? @plush raptor

granite ether
#

@twilit isle please spoiler tag the quoted line. Ty ^_^

plush raptor
#

Yes, I already got that.

#

But I'm just not getting the encounter anymore. Just the other one. For hours. And hours. And hours.

fading gazelle
#

It's just rng, it took me a while too get it as well

#

just got it on the last run T_T

plush raptor
#

And I'm saying it was a bad decision to lock this behind an encounter that just might not happen for 10 or 15 or 20 runs.

#

At least skew the odds while the unlock hinges on it.

frail forum
#

Oooo

#

Volty

#

Yos are a Man of culture i see

plush raptor
#

Also, there's a special place in Asphodel for people who think typing "it's just rng" is in any way helpful or clever.

granite ether
#

Welcome to rogue-likes and rogue-lites as a genre

#

Where like it or not, RNG is a thing

#

Though RNG manips are possible, I don't undersrand how they work nor am I gonna pretend I do

shy pasture
#

Anyone have tips for doing a successful run with the fist weapons? I'm mainly used to the bow and rail so fighting up close is something I'm not used to.

granite ether
#

@shy pasture

astral moat
#

Try to keep on the move, dash through opponents to target their backs. Personally Talos Aspect is my preferred for the ability to pull enemies targets to make up for the lack of range

shy pasture
#

Oops. I'll post over there then.

astral moat
#

Also, Athena Attack is arguably broken

#

What are we supposed to do with the excess darkness now?

Did I miss something?

Hi, been watching this game on Twitch maaaaaan its cool!

Hi. Anyone has the latest boon relationship infographic?

#

There are specific gods one but there is no overall view

spare ridge
#

not that i’m aware of mate

#

someone might have it tho

topaz tangle
#

Where do I use titan blood at? New to this game haha

spare ridge
#

you can unlock weapon aspects that change how weapons are used in a little bit

#

won’t take too long really

topaz tangle
#

Ahh and do I have to unlock that in some way??

spare ridge
#

nope, you just have to do like a couple more runs iirc

#

then they’ll give you the ability to mess with aspects

topaz tangle
#

Gotcha thanks

spare ridge
#

np man

#

Who are the romance options in the game

spare ridge
#

idk about that

#

if it’s a thing i’ve never done seen it

||megaera, thanatos and dusa||

if i were to guess these would be the ones

idle cloak
#

Just picked up the game over the weekend, didn't play in early access. Gotta say this is one of the most amazing games I've played in years. Everyone at Supergiant should be super proud of what they've done here!

terse valve
#

yeah

#

i picked it up saturday afternoon

worn cave
#

I know, right? I'm not usually a fan of these games, but this is amazing

terse valve
#

played all sunday

idle cloak
#

So did I!

prisma sigil
#

i bought it as soon as it launched on steam. really good game.

spare ridge
#

i heard about it from sin

terse valve
#

i actually bought it after getting bored from mario 3d collection

worn cave
#

Nintendo made a good deal with the limited exclusivity on this game

#

When I first saw the trailer, I wasn't impressed, but it just grew on me

terse valve
#

oh it's a timed exclusive

#

ok

spare ridge
#

FOMO i guess

#

they play on that a lot

prisma sigil
#

Hades caught my eye since it was announced at E3 2018. that art style...

worn cave
#

Art style and voice acting is top notch

idle cloak
#

Definitely

prisma sigil
#

yup, voice acting is so good too

#

So, with the Switch version. Has anyone else noticed this weird graphical quirk in docked mode where it looks like the resolution is constantly shifting up/down?

#

It's especially noticeable when characters are speaking. You'll see the text and everything else on the screen toggling between being soft and sharp every second.

brisk trail
#

Not on switch but I swear zagreus’s resolution is soft at times but the rest of the game is sharp

idle cloak
#

No it's all good on my Switch. Only thing I've noticed is a bit of slowdown when there's a lot going on, but I guess that's to be expected.

hidden drum
#

All of the character sprites look soft compared to the environment @brisk trail

brisk trail
#

do they? kinda bugs me

hidden drum
#

Must be the way their pre-rendered sprites are compressed or captured.

#

It's not ideal, but it has always been that way even on PC.

limpid glacier
#

oh i've been playing this game like a full time job since the switch version released

#

and now i am burnt out

#

oops

hidden drum
#

Did you notice the soft/sharp toggling thing I mentioned on Switch?

#

Keep an eye out for it when characters and their speech bubbles are on screen next time you play docked.

potent carbon
#

hey, how is poseidon aspect for sword?

tawny light
#

Pretty fun.

The basic build is Artemis cast boon and then going artemis until you get exit wounds.

#

With exit wounds, cracking an enemy with poseidon will trigger exit wounds forcibly. Good times.

potent carbon
#

do you know how to unlock superior trove?

#

I got plunder, greater but contractor won't offer it

tawny light
#

I wanna say its in the wiki

potent carbon
#

according to the wiki it should be unlocked

tawny light
#

You'll get either a dialogue RNG that opens up a new buy optio

#

Or the new buy optiom for higher end contractor stuff shows up. Been a few 100 hours since I did all that.

potent carbon
#

yea it needs the deluxe

#

and it costs 500

tawny light
#

Gotta make your way through all the upgrades

#

If you bought all of the early stuff and it hasnt shown uo, just do a few runs and it'll eventually kick in.

#

I had a question about getting the Friends Forever achievement at the moment. I know it's been bugged the past few days and people were getting it for free upon starting a new game.

However I am wondering if you're still able to get it the legitimate way by maxing all the keepsakes? It's one of my last achievements left and I have every keepsake (including the 2 new ones that dropped with 1.0) at 3 stars. I do not have maxed bonds with ||Persephone|| or ||Demeter|| yet though, and do not have their chibi icons by the keepsake. Can anyone confirm if that is a requirement for the achievement?

Interestingly, it seems maybe Supergiant patched the bug that was giving it to people for free? I started a new Hell Mode save file earlier today and there wasn't any popup when that happened. Was curious if anyone else could corroborate.

lilac mason
#

I got both the something from everyone and friends forever achievements yesterday without any issues

#

the first achievement popped when I got the second new 1.0 keepsake on room transition and I got the second achievement upon maxing out that keepsake

rancid sedge
#

the archievement of ||pet cerberus 10 times|| is not working. any ideas?

#

ok, now is working

#

sorry guys

brisk trail
#

Nyx is hot, yeah?

#

yes.

#

Also the second strongest character in the entire game behind Chaos?

spare ridge
#

“is [hades character] hot?”
do cows moo?

brisk trail
#

Hell mode first time playing hades????
@fair dove Hardcore gaming is the only way!

wide stream
#

hey guys i need explanation

#

what does fated choice mean

spare ridge
#

it’s like from a list of things you do like “get all boons from artemis” or stuff like that

brisk trail
#

I wish more Hades characters were straight up ugly.

spare ridge
#

if you take the fated choice you’re checking one of the items out of the list

wide stream
#

ohh isee

spare ridge
#

and you’re closer to getting a reward

brisk trail
#

Also, the game looks great, but one very mild criticism I have is the character designs of the game.

wide stream
#

so i should pick them?

spare ridge
#

I wish more Hades characters were straight up ugly.
@brisk trail i mean most of them are deities so

#

so i should pick them?
@wide stream well not always

brisk trail
#

Some look like they could maybe be in a gacha game, others look way more cartoony.

spare ridge
#

if there’s a better boon then no

brisk trail
#

A lot of deities are ugly.

#

Like Haephestus.

spare ridge
#

otherwise do it

wide stream
#

i see thank you

spare ridge
#

np

brisk trail
#

Speaking of, why isn't Haephestus visually represented in the game?

spare ridge
#

don’t know

brisk trail
#

depends on which depiction of Hephaestus we're talking about, saying this as a Greek.

spare ridge
#

they don’r represent a lot bc there is a lot

lone jetty
#

not really game related but can anyone tell me if the main folders within Hades (steam) are "Content", "x64", and "x86"? steam kinda messed up my download progress, thank you!

brisk trail
#

True.

#

just validate the files

#

Still, I kinda like Nyx's first appearance more?

spare ridge
#

but yeah in terms of ugly character per se there’s like tisiphone

#

and uh

#

yeah

lone jetty
#

i still havent finished downloading so im trying to recover the progress via the remnants of past downloads, basically replacing folders and files huhu anyway will try again, thanks!

spare ridge
#

charon is beautiful before anyone asks ok

#

hey, can someone explain to me what

brisk trail
#

i still havent finished downloading so im trying to recover the progress via the remnants of past downloads, basically replacing folders and files huhu anyway will try again, thanks!
@lone jetty Just let it download and see if it plays 🙂 it's small in size anyways

mystic arch
#

are Themes?

brisk trail
#

I dunno, her understated appearance and hidden eyes really clash with the overstated designs of everyone else and create this sense of humble, restrained power.

#

Also I don't like the gold highlights on Charon. Too gaudy IMO.

spare ridge
#

dude’s gotta do what he’s gotta do man

#

he got the cash he’s gonna show it

#

are Themes?
@mystic arch Do you mean the music

dusty spade
#

@mystic arch they are ||something you can purchase from contractor to make the boons screen and victory screen more beautiful||

spare ridge
#

ooo

#

anyway let’s talk about the hottest character right

mystic arch
#

@dusty spade oh, its for the Boon screen, got it. Was a bit confused when I bought them but nothing changed about the Hades house

brisk trail
#

The hottest character in the game is clearly Bouldy.

#

Or Skelly.

spare ridge
#

clearly Skelly is the absolute undeniably hottest

quasi grotto
#

hades in number 5 of metacritic 2020

spare ridge
#

bouldy is a close second imo

#

hades in number 5 of metacritic 2020
@quasi grotto damn

#

good job supergiant you lads deserve it

quasi grotto
#

wow a solid 92 even higher than animal crossing

mystic arch
#

yeah, great game. Did they say, if they are thinking of working on the game more, like new content?

spare ridge
#

bouldy God yes

brisk trail
#

Hades would be better if you could fight other weirdos, and not just Greek mythological figures.

spare ridge
#

yeah, great game. Did they say, if they are thinking of working on the game more, like new content?
@mystic arch it is a roguelike, so most likely

brisk trail
#

I want to beat up the great Rikidozan dammit!

#

And also Helio Gracie.

#

Who else do you want to beat up in Hades?

mystic arch
#

Im not yet through the main content, but it would be cool if the Olympus story got a resolution, with some new levels and bosses

brisk trail
#

Hi "We'll be considering opportunities to bring the game to additional platforms down the line. Thank you for your interest." means it's not even sure right ? Cuz if it's not coming i'm going to have to put money aside to buy a PC or a nintendo switch 😦

spare ridge
#

would be cool to see like actual daedalus beyond just mentions

brisk trail
#

Yeah.

spare ridge
#

what was that

brisk trail
#

Imagine Zagreus getting beaten up by a professional wrestler.

limpid glacier
#

supergiant has been putting out new content for the game for three years

#

i think they're gonna work on something else next

brisk trail
#

It was a joke.

limpid glacier
#

the game feels done to me

spare ridge
#

they said themselves they put their all into hades so they won’t be going for anything else anytime soon

granite ether
#

close to 2 years, Hades entered early access in december 2018

brisk trail
#

I don't actually want them to put a pro-wrester in Hades.

limpid glacier
#

time is fake

spare ridge
#

time is convolluted

brisk trail
#

They worked on the game for some time before 2018, though.

#

Also, I want to see what else Studio Grackle puts out.

dreamy quail
#

Im going to buy hades within the week and was wondering if anyone here uses a switch pro controller on the steam version and if so, have you encountered any issues (mainly wondering about input lag/connection issues)? That's the only controller I have lying around and I really dont want to buy another one so it would be great if the pro controller works well with the game.

spare ridge
#

i don’t remember where, but they said they’ll take an understandable break

brisk trail
granite ether
#

#hades-faq is where they mentioned they'll take a break once this 1.0 patch settles

@dreamy quail haven’t gotten any problems myself

now that i think of it it was probably twitter

limpid glacier
#

idk I'm excited to play a new supergiant game in three years

brisk trail
#

I just think Hades would be better if it went full Keisuke Itagaki and made all of it's characters beautifully ugly.

#

Beautifully ugly in the sense that these are all ugly people whose ugliness was rendered with a great deal of artistic craft.

spare ridge
#

so like

#

just ugly

#

because the artstyle’s already on point

warm hedge
#

Given it’s supergiant, I feel like it makes sense for them to work on something else after this

#

But who knows really

spare ridge
#

i mean of course

warm hedge
#

And yeah, a break is definitely warranted haha

spare ridge
#

but not immediately

#

correct

cunning kelp
#

it will be interesting to see what they do next

calm loom
#

they may have plan to add paths and differents ending

#

like in deadcelll

cunning kelp
#

They've never done dlc before so idk

warm hedge
#

Main thing I was referring to was that I wouldn’t necessarily expect more for Hades to be the next thing down the line

#

I think there’s a pretty good chance that what we have right now is everything Hades will ever be, as Supergiant moves on to other projects

silk mortar
#

I just hope whatever they do they take their time and make something lovely

hollow halo
#

if i had to guess therell probably be at least one more patch just to patch everything up but after that its probably something new

warm hedge
#

Oh yeah, getting a patch to fix any holes seems likely for sure

#

I’m just not sure I would expect any more major content patches

hollow halo
#

especially i think theres one a lot of people are asking for, ||a way to go back to the final area||

wide stream
#

hey guys i am so happy

warm hedge
#

But given how well Hades has been doing on switch apparently, who knows really

cunning kelp
#

that's true Hades has been a hit

||i beat this game yes! i BEAT Hades. I am so happy right now.||

i would be on to pay 5 or 10 bucks for more content

#

Hades ended up being kind of an anomaly to me, as far as Supergiant games go

calm loom
#

& find tour play style buddy

warm hedge
#

I really like it, and it’s probably the one I have the most hours in

#

Well, it definitely is

cunning kelp
#

I've enjoyed all of SG games but this one is most def peak

warm hedge
#

I’m a rougelike fiend

cunning kelp
#

^

calm loom
#

it s my first supergiant's game . i discovered it thanks to Bricky's play on youtube

warm hedge
#

For me, there is a direct progression between Bastion, Transistor and Pyre

calm loom
#

the fact that is a rogue like with actual story is insane

warm hedge
#

Hades borrows from all of them while not really feeling like it’s part of that trifecta for me

#

Bastion, Transistor and Pyre all blew me away in various ways at various points of my life while Hades ended up being more of a slow burn

#

Which, is kind of the nature of Early Access

cunning kelp
#

It feels like they really "graduated" and made the biggest leap in quality in this one

warm hedge
#

Hmm

cunning kelp
#

I've really enjoyed all of them but this is by far the best

calm loom
#

i agree they were big improvement between patches

warm hedge
#

I think Early Access makes a game inherently less impressive to me because the experience becomes a lot more drip-fed

cunning kelp
#

It was also just really nice to have these updates to look forward to throughout 2020

cold mantle
#

but playing in Early Access was such a nice experience as well

warm hedge
#

On the other hand, Hades undoubtedly ended up extremely well-baked as a game due to Early Access

cunning kelp
#

Its one of the better EA games I've played

warm hedge
#

I think it was able to refine a gameplay loop to a mirror sheen more so than other Supergiant games

#

I can point to specific moments in Bastion, Supergiant and Pyre that absolutely floored me

#

Moments that at the time were just unbelievably impressive to me

#

Hades doesn’t really have that for me, but in return it has a extremely solid gameplay loop I end up wanting to come back to

#

As well as all the regular high points of a Supergiant game

ancient frost
#

Runs

warm hedge
#

Before Hades, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what a “Supergiant Game” was

untold coral
#

I have got Hades yesterday and it's such an amazing game and I have watched all the videos of Developing Hell Documentary by NoClips on YouTube, you guys an incredible bunch of people in Supergiant!

warm hedge
#

But I really have no clue what to expect in the future out of this studio after this

#

Either way, I’m really excited

untold coral
#

I highly recommend this documentary series to everyone if you haven't seen it!

idle cloak
#

I highly recommend this documentary series to everyone if you haven't seen it!
@untold coral Watching it right now, on the last episode now. It's very cool and interesting.

warm hedge
#

I should watch that documentary

limpid glacier
#

historically they've released games three years apart

warm hedge
#

I’ve been eyeing it for a while

untold coral
#

@idle cloak , so good! I am looking forward to the next one (I think they mentioned there will be one more - the last).

limpid glacier
#

and they've said it takes them three years to make a game

#

so I'm assuming they're already working on something new

warm hedge
#

Hades must be a bit of a special case though

limpid glacier
#

or will be soon

#

why do you say that

warm hedge
#

Well, I wouldn’t begrudge them a break haha

hollow halo
#

supergiant bros and its sequel supergiant bros melee

warm hedge
#

The EA aspect

limpid glacier
#

well

#

not really

warm hedge
#

Look, eventually they’re going to have enough franchises to do that mega

limpid glacier
#

it still took three years total

#

counting EA

warm hedge
#

Well yeah I guess that’s true since Pyre released in 2017

limpid glacier
#

breaks are good but like, they do this for a living

warm hedge
#

When Hades was announced I was definitely like “what??! Already?”

limpid glacier
#

gotta keep making money if you wanna stay afloat

warm hedge
#

Sure, sure

limpid glacier
#

gotta stay afloat if you wanna eat 😛

warm hedge
#

And breaks/vacations are probably included in that 3 year metric

limpid glacier
#

mhm

warm hedge
#

Given how well Hades is doing, I don’t expect they’re in trouble

#

But yeah, I wouldn’t expect a break out of the ordinary or whatever

limpid glacier
#

mhm

warm hedge
#

We’ll see what the future holds

steel flicker
#

@warm hedge I share your sentiment regarding Hades' place in SGG catalogue. What I found surprising in this solid "loop" is how resource based Hades is in terms of player incentives. That was pretty disheartening for me.

amber cloak
#

Has Supergiant said anything about future updates/dlc for Hades? The player base is definitely big enough that dlc can be very successful

meager oriole
#

I'

viral rover
#

They've said there's nothing planned

tranquil summit
#

How long do think it will take for hades to get a patch since I’m on switch and can’t play because of glitch

meager oriole
#

i wanted to ask if the Olympions Keepsakes have any real worth after the beginning boon you get at the start of a run

viral rover
#

Thinking about it and how cross-saves might work, I don't think paid DLC is likely

#

Yummi, they still give you a higher rarity chance for boons of the relevant god but you won't "force" the same god again for the rest of the run

meager oriole
#

welp

limpid glacier
#

bastion and transistor sold similar amounts iirc and didn't get dlc

carmine ravine
#

even if they want to do dlc, they already said they taking a break

steel flicker
#

Well in 2012-2014 DLCs were still a controversial decision. Especially from a non-AAA.

#

Service games didn't exist

#

but now it's pretty much normalized

#

to pay $400 for pieces of a game over the span of two years

carmine ravine
#

before that they are called expansions, what makes them controversial is just the outrageous heorse armor

cold mantle
#

i wanted to ask if the Olympions Keepsakes have any real worth after the beginning boon you get at the start of a run
@meager oriole definitely, specially if you are looking for a specific boon from a specific god for builds or synergies

carmine ravine
#

and you know, mmorpg subscription exists for a long time, thats literally a service game @steel flicker

steel flicker
#

Yes. But for a system to exist solely within one genre vs across entire industry makes a difference.

#

Now a single player game can declare itself a service game and nobody will be surprised.

meager oriole
#

Another thing i wanted to ask is if that keepsake gets locked during the near end of a run? Artemis Keepsake got locked before i entered the Satyr place

carmine ravine
#

if u already used it once, u cant equip it again

frozen roost
#

wait what they are giving us expansion ? GWvickyKannaPeek

rigid grotto
#

Ok sorry to interrupt, but I have a friend looking to get hades on switch, shes worried that the text might be too small in handheld mode, can people here confirm or deny?

steel flicker
#

@frozen roost no

carmine ravine
#

no clue @frozen roost

idle cloak
#

I have it on Switch and the text is small but perfectly readable both handheld and docked.

carmine ravine
#

that sounds nicee

#

switch is getting scalped so not getting one for a long time

frozen roost
#

well lets just hope they give us content eventually. Game seems to be healthy rn though

amber cloak
#

Yeah, Supergiant games have been historically one and done with no dlc, but Hades has already broken the mold with EA and an update based development. That would leave it more open to future updates/dlc

carmine ravine
#

yeah we cant say yes or no since they dont exacly confirm it

cold mantle
#

Ok sorry to interrupt, but I have a friend looking to get hades on switch, shes worried that the text might be too small in handheld mode, can people here confirm or deny?
@rigid grotto saw some people on the feedback section asking for an option to increase text/ui elements on Switch but not that it was unreadable, sounds like it's big enough

rigid grotto
#

alright, thanks frens

frozen roost
#

dont see why they wouldnt update the game eventually, it came out yesterday and its top1 on steam charts

#

already

#

for new games *

amber cloak
#

I mean, number of sales has never been a factor to Supergiant on whether to release dlc or not. Transistor and Bastion sold similar numbers.

frozen roost
#

top 5 in top sellers

granite ether
#

Supergiant in the past have moved on to new projects after the release of their current one
however, what they'll do after Hades no one knows at this time, all we know is they deserve a well earned break

carmine ravine
#

i hope hades become those iconic games such as dark souls etc

paper granite
#

Hey you all :3
I like making foods from all kind of shows and in celebration of the Hades full release, I've been thinking of making something from the show, currently I'm thinking of making the Pom Porridge that Eurydice makes <: (The picture of it on the wiki is a little unclear so I'm still working it out X3)

Anyone got any other ideas for foods from the game?

amber cloak
#

Funny thing you mention that, Dark Souls created its own genre and hard core game play style. Supergiant has done a similar thing with all their games around a certain game play style that they've polished over all of their games leading to its current iteration in Hades

carmine ravine
#

then why the witcher is well known

analog elbow
#

You could make the Gyro and fries Anita

steel flicker
#

What's that? O:

ohhh

yeah that would be awesome!

amber cloak

That's the one I'm using <:

amber cloak
paper granite
#

I already have a recipe written down for it

#

Maybe I will make a hades special, with all the 3 items from Eurydice

carmine ravine
#

dats looks like donuts

#

or cookies i suppose

amber cloak
#

Besides poms of power and ambrosia I think those're all the food items in the game

paper granite
#

It honestly looks like sugar cookies

amber cloak
#

It does

paper granite
#

Im thinking of making my own pom jam to top it, gonna be awesome

analog elbow
#

Good luck! Share with us your results!

carmine ravine
#

_make the fishes _

paper granite
#

Even though I'm still most puzzled about what's in the middle of the Porridge, maybe apple slices?

#

Will do : D

mystic nexus
#

So I have max affinity on Dusa but I don't have a blurb on her keepsake. Is this a bug?

carmine ravine
#

same here

paper granite
#

I got it after she ||friend zoned me ;-;||

serene beacon
#

I'm new to Hades, and is there blessings for Demeter,apollo, and Hephaestus ?

#

I haven't gotten those yet

carmine ravine
#

no apollo and hephaestus

serene beacon
#

:(

#

I've gotten Gaia

carmine ravine
#

wot

mystic nexus
#

I think you might be confused.

idle cloak
#

No Apollo seems like an odd omission. Probably thought they'd be too much similarity with Artemis.

patent topaz
#

Gaia's treasure is just an item, Gaia isn't an actual character in the game

serene beacon
#

Yeah I meant her blessing

#

Wait

mystic nexus
#

I think there was only room to develop so many of them in the scope of the game and they wanted a good mix of men and women

serene beacon
#

Who is in the portal in the floor then :/

mystic nexus
#

You mean Chaos?

serene beacon
#

That was chaos ?

patent topaz
#

ooooh you meant chaos

mystic nexus
#

Our favorite softly-spoken gentlebeing.

serene beacon
#

I like how all thee gods aren't just white

idle cloak
#

I think there was only room to develop so many of them in the scope of the game and they wanted a good mix of men and women
@mystic nexus Yeah makes sense. Can't have all of them as there'd just be too many characters. Apollo is a pretty major player though so just surprised he's not there.

mystic nexus
#

I know, right? 😄

#

It's pretty nice.

#

Were you aware that Zagreus is an actual mythological figure? I wasn't when I first played the game.

serene beacon
#

Me either

#

I thought you would play as hades

idle cloak
#

No I assumed he was made up for the game!

mystic nexus
#

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Zagreus (Greek: Ζαγρεύς) was sometimes identified with a god worshipped by the followers of Orphism, the “first Dionysus”, a son of Zeus and Persephone, who was dismembered by the Titans and reborn. However, in the earliest mention of Z...

#

He's rather obscure.

patent topaz
#

If by Gaia you mean a strange hindu-like fusion between Astral from yu gi oh and Ashura from Soul Eater if it came from the Berserk universe then it was Chaos

carmine ravine
#

ah yes, kratos the totally legit god

brisk trail
#

the "first Dionysus"

mystic nexus
#

I'm not gonna spoil anything but they tie some of this lore into the game in a fun way.

narrow hemlock
#

@idle cloak they've said in past qa that as they developed the story someone like apollo became less relevant, demeter originally wasn't even considered

mystic nexus
#

Really? That's surprising.

serene beacon
#

Whos your favorite god to get blessings from

patent topaz
#

I found out about the game because i was looking up references to make the underworld family in the sims 4 0-0

mystic nexus
#

All things considered, Demeter would be a really odd ommission.

brisk trail
#

Whos your favorite god to get blessings from
@serene beacon it's a hard draw between artemis and poseidon

narrow hemlock
#

Yeah demeter is important now but she wasn't an original choice

mystic nexus
#

Athena for me.

serene beacon
#

I like Poseidon

brisk trail
#

i love poseidon

#

when you get his power bar thing

#

and it's full

#

sometimes he goes

#

"GET OFF MY NEPHEW!!!!!!!!"

serene beacon
#

I have only gotten to the second stage with the lava , I immediately walked into the lava and died

carmine ravine
#

dissapointed you cant ||romance artemis||

serene beacon
#

You can date characters in the game???

narrow hemlock
#

she's your cousin

patent topaz
#

I think Amir said something like they legit forgot. Then they realized that "omg this game talks about family and we haven't added || Persephone's mom ||

brisk trail
#

im not gonna click that

#

spoilers ahoy

serene beacon
#

You can date in hades ???

carmine ravine
#

she's your cousin
@narrow hemlock i mean so does thanatos

brisk trail
#

well, kinda

#

lol

narrow hemlock
#

no

serene beacon
#

I like giving gifts to the gorgon head

brisk trail
narrow hemlock
#

sgg avoided incestuous relations where they could

#

hence why some god heritage is altered

idle cloak
#

That's not easy with Greek Mythology! They're all related to each other somehow!

serene beacon
#

Is there only 4 weapons ?

narrow hemlock
#

There's 6

serene beacon
#

oH

#

I only have 4

#

My favorite is the sword you start with

narrow hemlock
#

And yeah if you want to be technical about it everyone came from the titans anyway

serene beacon
#

Do you get blessings from Hera ??/

narrow hemlock
#

but you can be tactful about how you present it

carmine ravine
#

u see the empty spaces right @serene beacon

serene beacon
#

Ye

#

Does hera bless you ?

patent topaz
#

No, she isn't a character in the game

serene beacon
#

:(

narrow hemlock
#

not all of the olympians are represented

patent topaz
#

but she is acknowledged with her bow aspect

paper granite
#

I want to see best boy Daedalus in the game ;v;

serene beacon
#

I like how every time you die there is new dialogue

#

There is a ton of voice acting :V

patent topaz
#

Same with Hestia
Hephaestus and Apollo aren't mentioned in the game at all save for some lines by Aphro and Arti
And you do know they exist anyway because... well, greek myths amirite

carmine ravine
#

i mean theogony is already a long list

narrow hemlock
#

I think at this point there's like over 20k lines of dialogue lol

serene beacon
#

O:

#

Is that factual ??

narrow hemlock
#

Pretty close

#

There was over 18k for blood price and greg mentioned there was like about 3k lines coming for 1.0

carmine ravine
#

isnt 20k is fallout 3 level

fading gazelle
#

Very close to be honest

narrow hemlock
#

granted a big chunk of lines are short quips but all the same everything is voice acted

patent topaz
#

Honestly how did they manage to think about every single possibility? They even considered the option of you picking a pom with no boons, it gives you obols

mystic nexus
#

Good foresight.

serene beacon
#

Hades is one of the best games I have played this year

carmine ravine
#

isnt thats how game design works

rigid grotto
#

lots of player feedback

mystic nexus
#

You want to hear some good voice lines?

rigid grotto
#

combined with good forsight

mystic nexus
#

Try using a God's Call during a Trial of the Gods where that god is mad at you.

carmine ravine
#

theres an achivement for that

narrow hemlock
#

the gods will comment if you die in their trial too lol

patent topaz
#

Maybe the fact they're gamers themselves helped, they know how they can be thirsty for trying out everything and testing the game

#

or they watched a lot of top 10 easter eggs

mystic nexus
#

You ever played Undertale? I think that game might be the king of "I can't believe the developer accounted for somebody trying this".

serene beacon
#

The level design is so good and visually appealing I love it

carmine ravine
#

games like undertale is passion project

mystic nexus
#

You get an acknowledgement in Undertale if ||you go the whole game without equipping armor||

patent topaz
#

oh god
i swear i love undertale but i forgot it was also that way
i remember the 4th wall breakings

#

Toby fox did everything by himself and so he permanently damaged his wrist :(

i mean most of the sounds is free sounds but yeah

My favourite is when after || dying 10 times by sans he says something like "hey it's your 10th time! Congratulations! Let's have a party, we can eat food and hang out with your friends... oh, right, i almost forgot ||

|| you have no friends ||

Ya know, I don’t know if this is a spoiler or no

#

||but I’m kinda wondering if Tiny Vermin is actually a minor god||

carmine ravine
#

no

#

||they just had a rat infestation up theres, and hades acknowledged it||

nimble ocean
#

which means either ||there are lots of tiny vermins in the temple of Styx||, or ||tiny vermin is immortal||

#

and i'm not sure what is worse

smoky halo
#

I for get how to spoiler

warm hedge
#

I think there’s a chance it became one

maiden copper
#

Didn't the codex entry say it was their king? Or am i mistaken

warm hedge
#

The collective will of all vermin eventually ascended it or something, perhaps due to being so near the underworld

#

Possibly it just became immortal

#

Wait

#

A Pom with no boons gives you something?

#

What does it give?

carmine ravine
#

gib coins

smoky halo
#

Ah

strong jewel
#

Do this game come out on ps4? Do any know any thing?

carmine ravine
#

no

#

only pc and switch

noble moat
#

Having trouble identifying the “flash” on the charging ranged attacks. I had no problem with it in Pyre. Is the showing on the pointer right after it reaches max range? Or is it a flash on Z himself? Thanks!

carmine ravine
#

on z

maiden copper
#

Theres a small flash on the prince himself, and the aim indicator will also briefly flash white
It also doesn't flash at exactly full charge, I believe a power shot is just before a full charge

noble moat
#

Ok thanks to you both! I’ll have to look out for those. Was staying away from abilities involving those because I couldn’t figure it out.

carmine ravine
#

yeah i have a hard time doing powershots so i just take the hammer that makes arrows rapicly

smoky halo
#

You can test it in the in skelly area

carmine ravine
#

thats not the problem, its just the window is small, kust like dash upper

smoky halo
#

Yea

#

Personally I prefer to not use the bow

I like the spear, fish shield and sword

the gun is nice if u got the rocket

SIGH

Asterus I hate him

Also my waifu betrayed me in that fight im so heartbroken

carmine ravine

It feels as easy as any dash attack imo

why does everyone like my waifu dusa

hushed hamlet

oh what am I kidding, she has the best boons over horny lady

speaking of the gloves, i thought zag aspect gave like

attack damage and move speed

astral flume
#

*our waifu

hallow cargo
#

that they changed it from dodge chance

#

did that not happen?

hushed hamlet
#

I cant find a good way to use heart boons

carmine ravine
#

i mean aphrodite is literally naked so thats an advantage i guess

hushed hamlet
#

im sorry but they all seem lackluster

hallow cargo
#

aphrodite boons have the best damage scaling

carmine ravine
#

aphrodite boons i sawesome

hallow cargo
#

(unless they changed that too)

winter shuttle
#

Not that i remember. Could you be thinking about sword instead?

hallow cargo
#

and weak is nice

hushed hamlet
#

am I looking at this incorrectly then?

#

well im at run 10, so maybe I'lll give her another chance

#

but right now im all about best duo

#

Athena and Ares the A-team

winter shuttle
#

What is the athena ares duo?

hallow cargo
#

carups: i thought it was changed from dodge chance based on some post on the reddit

#

athena ares duo is that your deflecting attacks auto-proc doom

rigid grotto
#

instantly

coral verge
#

I don't like Athena or Ares 😂

rigid grotto
#

its nuts

carmine ravine
#

athena got big burst

rigid grotto
#

or at least it was

hallow cargo
#

so if you have like...chaos shield, and you went doom on special

winter shuttle
#

Athena dash is kinda too good imo

rigid grotto
#

being able to deflect is just incredible

hushed hamlet
#

only reason I got the farthest is with Athena

#

I just have bad habits

carmine ravine

athena call is just crushing bosses

Ares bow is just easy mode plain and simple

#

athena dash, zeus attack, ares special on ||Gilgamesh||-fists is nutty

unreal vine

the sword

is low tier for me

stygius is one of the weapons i like

athena sword special is amazing

i had my absolute fastest run at just below 13 mins with the sword

the gun's easily my least favorite weapon

||gilgamesh|| is just a faster smaller ||arther||

i do like railgun

all u need is some dmg

i honesty hate you!

hallow cargo

it does feel clunky

i mostly use railgun for the special

and poke with atk

hushed hamlet

I like fists I just dont know how to use em

lol

coral verge
#

the 4th aspect railgun is crazy tho

winter shuttle
#

I never bothered learning the gun either. 30 runs so far and only 1 gun run

unreal vine
#

oh so you use the rail gun for rail gun activities

#

🥴

hallow cargo
#

i also don't know how to use the gloves

hushed hamlet
#

im so used to Sword special Deflect everything

hallow cargo
#

i assume you run zeus or dio on em?

#

because of the hit chain

coral verge
#

if you get the unlimited ammo hammer upgrade for railgun, it's easier

hallow cargo
#

same as aa-based gun

unreal vine
#

i have a hard time dealing with low dmg

#

with all weapons

astral flume
#

yeah i like zeus attack and ares or artemis special on fists, usually

unreal vine
#

sucks going through the first level without something

rigid grotto
#

shield is the top by far for me

winter shuttle
#

@hushed hamlet i just beat heat4 yesterday with fists, it was my first fist clear. grabbed zag fists and the zeus keepsake for the chain lightning on attacks, then athena for divine dash

hallow cargo
#

i haven't fully upgraded any shield aspect

carmine ravine
#

i tried all of them, only need the last 3 hidden aspect yet

winter shuttle

Rest goes as expected

hallow cargo

and apparently shield is only good with max rank in something

hushed hamlet
#

Carup ooh

coral verge
#

some weapon aspect just don't click with you

hushed hamlet

maybe I'll do that

Chaos Shield is top tier

huh... odd. but thank you!

hushed hamlet
#

Is there a reason to give more than one nectar to an NPC?

carmine ravine
#

depends on which npc

amber cloak
#

Speaking of Dusa, in 1.0 does she still ||reject you at the end or can you actually romance her now?||

winter shuttle
#

I like how meg keeps downplaying you even after you mop the floor with her thousands of times

hallow cargo
#

i mean, alecto is way worse about it

carmine ravine
#

its her work, have u tried ||romacing her||

hallow cargo
#

yo what?

#

what language?

#

wack

hushed hamlet
#

Im 1-2 vs alec

smoky rune
#

@hushed hamlet once there's no reason to to give them a nectar, it will not give you an option anymore

hushed hamlet
winter shuttle
#

It's pg2 in here

carmine ravine
#

which npc are you thinkingof giving nectar to? @hushed hamlet

hushed hamlet
#

im just checking the tome

#

and see hearts not filled

#

so idk

winter shuttle
#

There can be a reason to, yeah

hushed hamlet
#

there is like 8 of em

unreal vine
#

is there someone to give gifts to more than the others

winter shuttle
#

There is

unreal vine
#

cuz i’ve been dumping them in hypnos or whoever i see next

carmine ravine
#

some npc u can ||romance|| with ||ambrosia||

unreal vine
#

romance

hallow cargo
#

not even that

unreal vine
#

greek mythology sus

hushed hamlet
#

Well, im still mad at Artemis

#

That fight with Cowbell was dead to rights

winter shuttle
#

i dont think the "boon-gods" have any benefits for multiple gifts

carmine ravine
#

||no romance for artemis since she already had calisto||

winter shuttle
#

someone correct me if i'm wrong

hushed hamlet
hallow cargo
#

some npcs, even ones you ||can't romance, you can give ambrosia to after maxing out their hearts with nectar. if you do, they'll give you active items||

carmine ravine
#

not every one

hushed hamlet
#

lol

winter shuttle
#

how do you even spoiler tag?

carmine ravine
#

||persephone fonet give anything if u give her nectar||

winter shuttle
#

gj

surreal adder
#

How much do infernal troves give when upgraded?

carmine ravine
#

now u know how

winter shuttle
#

at least now i know

#

yeah

hallow cargo
#

||text||

#

oops

winter shuttle
#

||and i also know not to close them with "

astral flume
#

either you use "||" before and after the spoiler part, or you mark and right click what you want spoiler-tagged

carmine ravine
#

too much work using the mous

astral flume
#

nvm just mark, no right click needed. the thing pops up on its own

carmine ravine
#

do u know u can spoiler a picture if u name any picture with SPOILER_

tiny sage
#

short question real quick: The Heat Timer stacking instead of resetting with every biome - is that a new 1.0 thing or did I just not notice that its doing that before?

jade kindle
#

New 1.0

narrow hemlock
#

It's new

tiny sage
#

gotcha. thanks :)

#

my time-constraint-panic self is pleased with that change haha

jade kindle
#

big same

narrow hemlock
#

also related to spoiler tagging, you can post links to images without the link showing a preview thumbnail by putting the link in angle brackets, <link here>

just make sure you mention it's spoiler content. when you ||link here|| it will still show a thumbnail but the thumbnail itself is spoilered

hallow yew
#

anyone know how to f10 without crashing?

#

oop i figured it out

brisk trail
#

I play with mouse but does this game support controller?

tropic zodiac
#

In fact, the game Recommends controllers on the title screen

#

Personally I swap between controller and kb/m depending on what weapon I'm using

brisk trail
#

oh

#

controller doesn't work for me

#

that's why I was thinking that only kb+m supported

sand stump
#

is this a new room?

#

I believe this room always have wallls

#

never seen them empty like this

potent egret
#

Chaos cant keep a single fish alive?! man i just want those fishes!

mellow finch
#

It might have been added last patch (blood price update), but I don't think it came with 1.0

sand stump
#

i thought it always have a squre wall

mystic nexus
#

Someone do the math for me:

#

How many gems translates to one titan blood?

sand stump
#

ok so no bug here

#

carry one guys

potent egret
#

10 gems makes 1 key, 5 key 1 nectar so it goes 50 gems, x10 to get a diamond so 500 gems, x2 to get an ambrosia there goes 1000 and with that you make a Titan blood

carmine ravine
#

or u know, u can just do ||higher heat||

mystic nexus
#

I mean, i can do both 🤷

#

@potent egret thanks tho~

potent egret
#

NP

terse geyser
#

and you can trade a titan blood for 250 gems, which is a good deal and definitely not a scam at all

carmine ravine
#

damn bro what a steal

terse geyser
#

which also means that you can trade 4 titan blood for one titan blood

#

what a steal

sharp fossil
#

a bargain

potent egret
#

the giant guy in the house is rick

#

STONKS

sharp fossil
#

theft is indeed happening

carmine ravine
#

you lose gems by not getting it id say

mellow finch
#

isn't there also 2 ambrosia for a diamond, which is the same kind of GREAT DEAL

sharp fossil
#

i mean, to be fair unless you’re doing something weird you’ll run out of blood upgrades before you run out of gem stuff

#

at which point the price of blood plummets and the economy crashes

#

or something

carmine ravine
#

i mean how many titans did they actually killed

mellow finch
#

Something totally weird like farming for gems on lower heat that you've already beaten?

sharp fossil
#

very weird yeah

#

imagine playing less heat than is required for bounties 🤔

#

jks i just like heat, it’s prolly not that weird idk

mellow finch
#

Imagine doing it for something even weirder than farming gems, like progressing the story that was added with 1.0 or something.

carmine ravine
#

jks i just like heat, it’s prolly not that weird idk
@sharp fossil are you always on heat

mellow finch
#

On a more serious note, there's nothing wrong with focussing on heat, I'm just memeing.

#

Question for the room, what changes do the hades mode make occur, and is there a way to enable it after the game has been made.

sharp fossil
#

you mean hell mode?

#

you can’t enable it later sadly

carmine ravine
#

inb4 "but hades IS hell"

terse geyser
#

hellmode makes you start at a higher difficulty setting
you can for all intents and purposes get to that difficulty in normal mode, so it's not really much of a difference after your first few runs

sharp fossil
#

insert obligatory rage about personal liability

terse geyser
#

PL is free heat change my mind

carmine ravine
#

wats pl

sharp fossil
#

not free ‘cause you gotta grind that hell mode save

terse geyser
#

not free ‘cause you gotta grind that hell mode save
you're right, it's more effort than literally any other 1 heat

brisk trail
#

omg the ||spear reach|| is ||long||

topaz tangle
#

How do you unlock the hidden aspects??

carmine ravine
#

hmm yes the spear is indeed long

topaz tangle
#

Ty @carmine ravine !

sharp fossil
#

wats pl
Personal Liability is a hell mode only heat option which disables the short period of invincibility you get after you’re hit for more than 20%(i think?) of your max hp

brisk trail
#

I'm mostly controller gamer but in hades you really lose the ability to choose direction to move and direction to attack independently with controller

carmine ravine
#

i think the 1 hit immune for all enemies is free heat but that just me

sharp fossil
#

try it with arthur

terse geyser
brisk trail
#

lol

#

but

#

that's true

carmine ravine
#

try it with arthur
@sharp fossil i already didzaglol

coral verge
#

woah, what

terse geyser
#

woah, what
yeah, you can use both at the same time

brisk trail
#

that will give you more smooth movement direction choosing

coral verge
#

that seems funky

mellow finch
#

I just use mouse and keyboard even though I play some other games with controller 🤷‍♂️

coral verge
#

I can see how that would work but I would miss out the key bindings more

carmine ravine
#

hades is far easier with controller, can confirm

shell lion
#

Hey sorry to interrupt but can anyone explain the mirror skill Dark Foresight to me? I just unlocked it, alongside Olympian Favor, and wanted to know which I should go for.

terse geyser
#

dark foresight makes gold, health, boons, and hammers more common

#

olympian favor makes boons stronger

shell lion
#

Worth? Or stick to Olympian Favor? I saw a video that had a different one that made legendary and duos a little more common... Was that too powerful and they removed it or something?

sharp fossil
#

i generally use favor, but idk what the meta is

topaz tangle
#

Is there a tier list for aspects??

manic bobcat
#

Anyone plays Hades on a hitbox?

#

That sounds fun tbh

carmine ravine
#

wats hitbox

terse geyser
#

there are some tier lists, but they are 100% subjective

split swift
#

Question about the Pierced Butterfly achievement: is it actually 30%, or supposed to be 30 rooms? I did the former and the achievement didn't pop

topaz tangle
#

Ahh I see

coral verge
#

@shell lion that's another mirror upgrade

manic bobcat
#

Like a arcade fighting controller

split swift
#

Also I've had endless thoughts of Hades in an arcade cabinet

smoky halo
#

lego and duo more common is 250 dark per 1%

shell lion
#

It is? Oh okay.

manic bobcat
#

With a large stick and like 6 buttons

carmine ravine
#

sounds retro stuff

brisk trail
#

hades is far easier with controller, can confirm
@carmine ravine why? with mouse u still get aim assist

coral verge
#

Epic and Legendary are on 1, the hammer/health and rare are on 1 IIRC

carmine ravine
#

@carmine ravine why? with mouse u still get aim assist
@brisk trail its just the feel you know, i dont even use controller for any other game since its hard to aim with controller

sharp fossil
#

omni directional movement is generally the argument

brisk trail
#

that's relative

sharp fossil
#

strike that, better cerberus petting experience is the argument for controller

#

and it’s a strong one

#

i still use KBM, but it’s a tough call

terse geyser
#

you haven't pet cerberus until you've pet him with a controller

carmine ravine
#

superior fishing with controller dusa

manic bobcat
#

Petting Cerb is the real reason Controller >> MKB

terse geyser
#

even when I was using KBM I had a controller on the floor and would switch to it when I wanted to pet cerberus

#

this is not a joke

carmine ravine
#

i only pet cerberus exactly 10 times for teh achievement, yes im a monster

proven crown
#

you are unworthy of cerberus

terse geyser
#

you need to pet him moar

proven crown
#

dad was right to hate you

carmine ravine
#

or does he?

sharp fossil
#

i make sure to pet him every time i’m in the house

#

it’s the law

carmine ravine
#

lets be real, cerberus is just a 3 headed clifford

terse geyser
#

cerberus is spikier than and therefore superior to clifford

carmine ravine
#

isnt spike is bad for petting

terse geyser
#

no

brisk trail
terse geyser
#

a lot more would miss

sand stump
#

i am sorry, but the dash is better

terse geyser
#

@sand stump yeah, especially with that brilliant riposte

carmine ravine
#

just take the third one residentzag

terse geyser
#

"you cannot be stunned" is actually awesome tbh

carmine ravine
#

stunned from what

terse geyser
#

literally anything

#

you cannot be stunned

sand stump
#

weapon need channeling like bow and rail

terse geyser
#

so enemies hitting you, urn procs

sand stump
#

can be stun easily

terse geyser
#

possibly even wringers?

carmine ravine
#

so its like sturdy but permanent?

terse geyser
#

right

sharp fossil
#

wringers don’t stun, tho, right? they grab

#

there’s a graphic for it

#

i’d be surprised if it cancels that

carmine ravine
#

thats assault and battery sir

exotic flame
#

Hades: God of the dead.
Thanatos: God of death.
Zagreus: God of deaths.

carmine ravine
#

archilles call us ||god of blood||

I know, it was a joke thanthink

carmine ravine

no joke allowed here

Charon: God of the death river CAPITALISM

Zagerus, God of Snark

brisk trail
#

idk I feel like with mouse I have more control and even if it's harder (idk is it) it's more fun

sharp fossil
#

it’s harder to move precisely, easier to aim

proven crown
#

i don't think mouse is harder by nature, it is all about which you have more experience in imo

terse geyser
#

just use a mouse AND a controller

#

sheesh

sharp fossil
#

i don’t think there’s really any agreement as to which is “better”

carmine ravine
#

i mean if u like using bow its spuerior i guess

terse geyser
#

why does no one listen to me

proven crown
#

i have a lot of hours using M+KB in other games so it came naturally

sharp fossil
#

unless you’re lysol ofc

coral verge
#

I played with controller in EA, stuck with K&M at launch

sharp fossil
#

why does no one listen to me
@terse geyser look, we just can’t handle the truth okay

brisk trail

I like shield, it's rush ability
