bash skulls

terse geyser
#

dodge their attacks

bright pine
#

the boss has far wider range than you think. Far far wider

terse geyser
#

don't run into walls painted as the exit

bright pine
#

Varatha's enhanced larger spin would probably be somewhat accurate. So. Stand far away.

terse geyser
#

rakes can kill you, be careful around them

#

don't slip on banana peels

vapid dirge
#

yep, keep moving, dash when appropriate, destroy the skulls if you can, and just pay attention to what the boss is doing as much as you can. I personally prefer to keep as much distance from him as possible if I'm not going in for a strike. (I actually tend to favor Exagryph and Coronacht against him for the reason that it lets me keep my distance while still being able to attack.)

terse geyser
#

avoid poisonous mushrooms
don't fall in deadly pits of spears

bright pine
#

My friend was explosive Cast (thanks Dionysus!). Nearly got the final one with it. Nearly.

sterile frigate
#

its my 1st time fighting him, ive been using zeus aspect shield

bright pine
#

OPr any pits, really.

terse geyser
#

don't get hypothermia

vapid dirge
#

Shield is good. Play defensively in that case.

bright pine
#

Artemis's tip: You can track the boss's movement if you watch the footprints.

terse geyser
#

don't get bitten by vaguely defined, extremely obscure varieties of poisonous beetles

#

I've died to all of those in the final boss room

sterile frigate
#

also, i have no death's defiance. 3rd boss took 2 of them, poison took the 3rd

#

so this'll suck

terse geyser
#

o0f

bright pine
#

oof

#

But kind of the same.

#

In this case, do not get hit.

terse geyser
#

if you don't get em this time, you'll get em later

sterile frigate
#

seriously, those poison levels are bs

bright pine
#

Yea.

#

(TBH, poison's never been much of a problem for me, somehow)

hollow hazel
#

I managed to get halfway through the end fight with that trash run btw, I had one good thing that gave me hp when I killed an enemy with my special, so I was farming the skulls and that worked for a while, but there came a point where it was just more work than it was worth so I just went for it and got about half way through.

sterile frigate
#

alright, im gonna give it a go now

hollow hazel
#

That run can go die in a hole.

terse geyser
#

gl Hedphones

bright pine
#

i keep fingers crossed for your epic death

plush flax
#

yeah, depending on your build, the adds can make or break that fight.

#

Had a Bow (Zeus attack) run earlier that was going well, then got Armored Louts and Chariots in the last fight. No way to deal with everything at once, with that

shell lion
#

Lets talk mirrors... God's Pride vs. God's Legacy?

bright pine
#

(I am particularly proud that the last time when I got far enough to be concerned with "how to fight the last boss" I got halfway through that fight, and then somebody broke a vase and Zag fell into a pit)

brisk trail
#

I remember transistor but I didn't played it tizozzz

bright pine
#

(I was... 20 % of bosshealth away from victory.)

sterile frigate
#

i lost, but i took 2/3s of his life on the way down

terse geyser
#

legendaries and duos can be run-defining. If you're not trying to use them, though, epic chance is a nice little bonus to your build @shell lion

bright pine
#

Headphones: ||The first life, or even from the second wind he gets||?

sterile frigate
#

he's got a second wind?

terse geyser
#

bro

#

you didn't need to know

hidden drift
#

anyone else not able to give hades nectar? like the action command doesnt pop up for me

bright pine
#

I am sorry to break you world like that

plush flax
#

That was... the worst possible way to ask that

terse geyser
#

spoiling any part of the fight is just rude

bright pine
#

oh, sorry?

chilly pawn
#

the rate for Duo to appear is pure random?

plush flax
#

Hades is story locked for nectar

bright pine
#

still, CG to Headphones for making it so far!

sterile frigate
#

that explains why the fight felt easy

terse geyser
#

anyone else not able to give hades nectar? like the action command doesnt pop up for me
@hidden drift you can only give him one

#

until much later

bright pine
#

that explains why the fight felt easy
@sterile frigate Dunno, for me personaly the part you were at was the hard one.

plush flax
#

You realized it should be spoilered, but didn't think that maybe the person you were asking didn't already know?

hidden drift
#

@terse geyser in my original run i gave him one early, now on hell mode ive never had a chance that lets me

terse geyser
#

hmmm

#

do you have nectar

hidden drift
#

yea

remote moat
#

Just do more runs

#

He gets locked after the first nectar

#

Until ||much much later||

Is unlocking 4th aspects currently bugged? I've beaten the game, everyone is nectared up, I have every aspect available and have poured blood into every singel one of them and still don't have any other the 4th aspects. The conversations aren't triggering.

A wise decision

oh no

Two kinds of people ^

terse geyser

there are worse things to be doing at 1 am

but there are also better things

e.g. sleep

Why would you sleep when you could try to escape from hell

#

jk please sleep folks

quaint wind
#

i decided to get the switch version because i don't like kbm or the controller i bought and im liking the switch so far

#

also Charon has such an excellent character design

terse geyser
#

which reminds me
why don't we have a charon emote here

quaint wind
#

oh rip i died on a trap

terse geyser
#

how does it run?
fps, load times, etc.

quaint wind
#

so far pretty well, i haven't had any lag or long loadings

serene breach
#

some weapons throw me off hard

#

I have the switch version and tbh it's one of the better running indie games on switch, but it could use some improvements

#

Every indie game on the switch seems to have performance issues. That's the rule, not the exception.

#

I play mostly on PC

mellow hedge
#

so I didnt know where to ask this but i have recently finished the game and unlocked all keepsakes but the achievement for it doesnt seem to unlock anybody run into this problem before or knows a fix.

serene breach
#

Probably a me thing, but when the game's framerate dips is when you don't want the framerate to dip.

#

I haven't had issues with reloading the gun

brisk trail
#

@chilly pawn I think the gun doesn't reload automatically

strong path
#

it does reload automatically! if you're holding down the fire button you'll have to release it

#

manual reload is a keybind in settings

it reload automatically when u empty the magazine iirc

#

any plan about the mobile version?

#

here is mobile game publisher

fierce spoke
#

huh?

plain gyro
#

this game was so much fun to play. 😋 we are interested in publishing this game(android version)

bitter valve
#

Pretty sure this is not the right place for that

plain gyro
#

i thought this is the quickest way that i can contact with the devs..

coral verge
#

Pretty sure they already publish older games themselves

ebon thistle
#

My only dissappointment with this game: i legit bought towels because i thought it would change walking-out-of-Styx animation

#

Turns out they purely decorative (and no use to anybody in the house) :c

proven crown
#

that's a missed opportunity for Hypnos to throw you a towel and quip about how much you suck

ebon thistle
#

No, im pretty good, but THESSEUS CAN GO STICK HIS SHIELD UP HIS~

bitter valve
#

well if it is any consolation

#

there is at least one addition you can have for the walking out of styx animation

ebon thistle
#

Almost afraid to ask wat should i do

#

to see it

#

beat the game?

bitter valve
#

I have no idea honestly

#

I just have it and don't remember when I got it

I'll ping you with the screenshot after im done with the game

@ebon thistle wdym

ebon thistle
#

you mean you have one?

bitter valve
#

Ok so it doesn't change the animation itself

#

but it adds petals dramatically falling down from above

ebon thistle
#

i think its one of the decorations for sale

fierce spoke
#

you can also dash out of the pool to skip the animation

#

and also spill pool blood everywhere

It’s near 4 AM for me and it’s occurred to me that there will probably never be a way to turn Cerberus into a 3 headed Samoyed called Shooberus. That makes me somewhat sad.

But it just seems unlikely that’d get added in

if they ever add mod support you can kidnap a couple of artists and make it happen

@granite cove according to the channel description yes

How long does it realistically take to escape the first time xD?

#

i'm on run 26 and i still can't do it

Took me ~30 runs I think, but some were purely for farming keys/darkness and not trying to win

but i'm really close

Im at my 25th run. I am getting consistently to the last boss. But damn ist it hard

I'm getting crushed all the time

Even though I do not struggle so hard before o.O

but the ||elysium|| boss battle actually kicks my ass more than the final boss battle

obsidian lichen

about 4 runs here

north coral
#

Did you play the prerelease?

obsidian lichen
#

this was in early access yea

cloud tusk
#

Hey all - does Hell Mode just start you off at a higher base heat threshold, basically? Meaning you just never get the rewards for <5 heat and have harder time at the get go?

cloud apex
#

The rewards are shifted from 0-20 heat to 5-25 heat but other than that and a new pact option (Personal Liability), yes

#

Well, also that you get to have the pact before beating the game

cloud tusk
#

Ooooh. I didn't realize that normally didn't show up until after a victory run.

#

I started on Hell mode, then had the Switch bug.

smoky rune
#

Is Personal Liability in non-Hell Mode?

cloud tusk
#

So was debating on starting a god mode save for fun while waiting on a fix.

fierce spoke
#

does anyone else think that dusa's keepsake is very useful?

kindred spade
#

Is it just me or does the audio cut out when i attack with the Fists

fierce spoke
#

other sounds muffle a bit when you deal damage

#

but it doesn't cut out

kindred spade
#

its only with the fists

#

i sounds like the audio clip is shortened

fierce spoke
#

sounds like you didn't download the secondary hit sound or something

kindred spade
#

it may be that but the cutoff doesnt sound like muffeling

#

mmh

fierce spoke
#

try verifying game files

frozen roost
#

Is it just me that feels as if 3rd boss is the hardest?

candid condor
#

they're really tought at first but once you get a handle on them it's not too bad. theseus doesn't actually do that much so you can mostly focus on the bull man

frozen roost
#

Idk once he starts calling gods and blocking every ability hes a pain

granite cove
#

3 boss is easy after the first few fails. But the 4th one gets me every time.

limpid glacier
#

still haven't beaten #4

frozen roost
#

Same

#

I lost on the cages the 2nd time

limpid glacier
#

#3 i can normally get through with only one DD

frozen roost
#

Was playing large radius rails.. ended up killing myself

#

Lmao

limpid glacier
#

i only ever lose DDs to boss #3 and 4

frozen roost
#

Same

#

1 and 2 are simple i think

#

I just speed run the 1st one

limpid glacier
#

i can button mash my way past the entire first two areas lol

granite cove
#

Issue is that you don't really progress anymore if you fail the 4th boss all the time :/

limpid glacier
#

yeah

merry moat
#

lost a farming run. i thought i farmed enough and decided to "give up". Didn't know i would return to main menu and lose my progress lol

limpid glacier
#

it gets a bit boring

merry moat
#

hello

limpid glacier
#

i just wanna unlock heat

#

i think i'll beat boss #4 today or tomorrow

granite cove
#

Yeah me too

limpid glacier
#

i keep getting it to almost dead

granite cove
#

But I can only use the starting weapon. The one I upgraded

limpid glacier
#

ooooof

frozen roost
#

Ive just been testing stuff havent really been thinking much about killing 4th

#

But i think my first clear will be with rails

limpid glacier
#

i wish the bounty resources weren't so limited

frozen roost
#

I plan on going zeus ares artemis

limpid glacier
#

i used to really like rail

#

but now it feels so slow

limpid glacier
#

and the lack of knockback really hurts

frozen roost
#

Well ye sure

#

Lance is super fast i feel like

granite cove
#

Upgraded sword is really fast

limpid glacier
#

i like most of the weapons

#

been using fists aspect 2 a lot

#

Especially with deadalous upgrade. You just press one button and dash xD

Have devs talked about adding twitch extensions? for chat voting on boon choices etc.?

stiff jetty
#

Question...I don't think it even needs spoiler tags

#

I've been avoiding 'skipping' pact of punishment heat levels to make sure I get all the potential rewards...

ocean kayak
stiff jetty
#

so like, if I haven't cleared with 3 i won't start with 4 even though I can do 4.

ocean kayak
#

i think they nerfed the asphodel witch coven

stiff jetty
#

Now i'm paranoid if I just like, went straight to 5, i'd get all the rewards for 1-5.

#

Someone tell me this is not true

fallen violet
#

No

gusty slate
#

You can skip to a higher heat level, it'll just complete the next lowest uncleared. Doing heat 10 will complete heat 2 if you haven't completed and then stay ta heat 10, do again heat 3 will clear

fallen violet
#

You have to do heat in order

#

technically

stiff jetty
#

okay, cool

fallen violet
#

You can skip like pokeuser said

stiff jetty
#

So i'm not wrong

fallen violet
#

no point tho

cloud apex
#

Someone tell me this is not true
It isn't, you only get 1 heat level rewards per run

#

So you're safe

ocean kayak
#

so i tried my "artemis cast build" last night

#

had an utterly miserable time tbh, not nearly as fun and easy as i remember

#

gonna fall back on my nemesis builds, then

#

Does anyone know if there's some rhyme or reason to room rerolls?

#

pools of options etc?

granite ether
#

@stiff jetty

#

another thing to note, mini-boss rooms will always (except ||styx||) reroll into another god boon

fair dove
#

The game has almost 50k viewers on twitch

granite ether
#

heck yeah klinkHyper

stiff jetty
#

@granite ether Thanks man! I had no idea about the Hermes stuff. Max 2 per run? I'm trying to get his 2 legendaries to finish my fate thingy there

granite ether
#

soft cap of 2, hard cap of 3 he appears in ||the styx shop||

cobalt maple
#

hermes is weird

#

do you read the mechanics from lua scripts or is it just experience

granite ether
#

just experience, I can't read code/scripts to save my life bittieLUL

#

@stiff jetty its worth noting each legendary is tied to either infernal of stygian soul so you'll never get both legendaries in a single run

fallen cosmos
#

Hi, is there a bug with Aphrodite's favor?

viral rover
#

If I remember the codex correctly though, taking Hermes' Lambent Plume as your keepsake makes the legendaries eligible to spawn though

fallen cosmos
#

i cant finish that no matter how hard I try

5 hits from bosses often exceeds 100 damage

Privileged Status vs. Family Favorite

Olympian Favor vs. Dark Foresight

tawny light
#

Priviledge status happens more often

#

Curses are pretty common.

#

think I run Olympian favor for the sake of my boons being a bit more powerful than normal.

#

Dark Foresight is better once you have certain ||| pact of punishment stuff turned on |||

terse geyser
#

Family Favorite is good if you're going for a build from just one god, or artemis/athena builds, etc.
any time you won't just naturally get a bunch of status effects.

tawny light
#

a lot of boons already come in status effects. When you get to boon upgrades, its also really common to see the added curses too

#

exposed, jolt, etc.

tulip acorn

Thanks!
What's the best cast for hera bow? Is it just Dio?

Early on its easy to trigger priviledge status from having a dash and attack boon from different fids.

I've heard dio, aphros and Athena are good with hera.

#

Lmao, my scren got stuck, replied to the wronf thibg

tulip acorn
#

So should I save my cast for posidon? Cause athena offering epic special, epic cast, and rare blinding flash

#

I've always felt Hera bow with athena cast is lackluster

kind moss
#

epic special

#

ez

#

athena special on bow is so good

ebon thistle
#

i just died to tiny rodent

dusk night
#

Can someone explain exactly how Dire Misfortune the Ares boon works? please.

tulip acorn
#

I KEEP DOING THAT sorry

#

What is dire misfortune again?

dusk night
#

Doom effects applied multiple times stack

#

I have Cluster bomb on the rail rn with the ares doom special

tulip acorn
#

Oh yeah for every time you hit something with something that can proc doom, it does a small amount of bonus dmg

dusk night
#

but no other doom boons

tulip acorn
#

So if you attack procs doom and you have rail gun, you can quickly ramp up dmg

dusk night
#

my question is would it be worth taking over impending doom?

#

(the boon that slows down the effect but makes it stronger)

tulip acorn
#

I don't think so, considering rail special doesnt hit multiple times, right?

#

It's just one big hit?

dusk night
#

i have cluster bomb tho

#

so it hits 5 times

tulip acorn
#

Hmmm...

#

What are the rarity/dmg numbera

dusk night
#

only adds 14 damage per stack tho

#

they are both epic

#

70% damage buff for impending doom

#

but 50% - 100% slower activation

tulip acorn
#

So it would be 14x4+regular doom dmg

dusk night
#

pretty much yeah

tulip acorn
#

Getting both is the best, if you keep looking for it, bc they scale w/ each other

dusk night
#

right

#

but i may only have the option of one or the other for now

#

because im late in the run

#

but ya never know

tulip acorn
#

Ah okay, math it? That's what I do

#

What's doom dmg

dusk night
#

100

tulip acorn
#

So extra 70 dmg?

dusk night
#

so 14 x 4 would be almost equivalent to 70% bonus (70 damage)

supple field
#

i dont bother to do any math i just kill things haha

tulip acorn
#

But all clusters have to hit

dusk night
#

you're onto it river lul

#

true

#

but the slower effect rate is the thing that is throwing me with this

tulip acorn
#

It has higher potential dmg output, but impending is easier to proc dmg, but less often

dusk night
#

i feel like the stacks would be better

tulip acorn
#

Yeah, one is easier, but less consistent

dusk night
#

right

tulip acorn
#

Up to you, both very similar

dusk night
#

for sure i suppose youre right

tulip acorn
#

Sorry I didn't help much XD

dusk night
#

i might get lucky and be able to get ares boon for my main attack

potent carbon
#

what should I look to build in default no aspect spear?

#

need to beat heat 0 with that thing

dusk night
#

but nah the discussion is always good

#

helps me consider my options more or differently

#

Default spear is better with special

tulip acorn
dusk night
#

if you have upgraded it at all

tulip acorn
#

^^

#

Also fun XD

dusk night
#

for sure

#

the speed makes it very fun with the right kinda of build

#

same with the bow imo

tulip acorn
#

Yeah

#

I'm using hera rn, what daedalus should i go? Explosive, triple, or charged volley?

#

I have deflect on special, so probably not volley

kind moss
#

Charged volleyyyy

#

triple sucks

#

explosive is good if you're building for iy

#

charged volley is my fave hammer

queen frigate
#

Hey guys, not positive if this is the right channel. Is God’s Pride or God’s Legacy typically the better choice? I assume Pride is better in the early game when total darkness is under 10k

sharp fossil
#

I always run legacy

#

if you’re worried about cost, it’s actually cheaper to max out

#

and if you’re worried about builds, pretty much all the really good ones hinge on a duo or legendary

queen frigate
#

Thanks for responding. I’ll give it a shot and see if I notice an increase. Now that I don’t have much use for keys at least.

torpid sinew
#

i'm angry as hell
i can easy beat whole game with anything
boons, weapons, etc
but hades easily beats me, no matter which build i have

queen frigate
#

Feels like most of the purple mirror choices are just... better, so it’s nice to switch it up.

smoky wharf
#

Hey so Im trying to give everyone a piece of nectar in order to get all the keepsakes, but theres one person missing at the bottom of the "Others of Note" tab in the codex, anyone have an idea of what the deal is?

analog elbow
#

Keep playing

#

You’ll find out eventually

#

Don’t attack mash the final boss, it’s gonna get you killed

#

You gotta know when to dodge as well, dash attacking removes iframes

smoky wharf
#

I have an idea of who it might be, do they appear once complete a run for the first time (not saying who my suspect is as im pretty sure its a story spoiler)

queen frigate
#

Dash attacking removes the iframes? That explains so much.

analog elbow
#

Maybe Gcon, whose to say lol

brisk trail
#

How does Bad News work with Trippy Shot? On impact?

smoky wharf
#

Alright, well thank you anyways

analog elbow
#

Yes, on impact

smoky wharf
#

Also I agree, ||Hades|| is rough man to defeat, i've reached him 3 times and i've only reached the 2nd phase once

sharp fossil
#

the first phase is honestly the harder one

#

dunno if that’s encouraging or not lol

tulip acorn
#

I went with explosive mostly cause u have deflect on special and I wanted to keep the instacast full screen deflect

queen frigate
#

How is the first phase harder?

brisk trail
#

First phase is harder because of the ads.

sharp fossil
#

the adds make it more chaotic

brisk trail
#

The second one is just hiding and waiting.

torpid sinew
#

avoiding damage?
he's just dont care
i'm easily avoiding damage in whole game
hades just dont care
taking cast+lighting build
zoning him with damaging crystals at the ground
he's dont care
2 hits - u off

brisk trail
#

Really big windows to dish out dmg after this magma beam show.

queen frigate
#

The vases are my problem. Ads usually don’t cause much issue.

So yesterday I had a diamond drop from a boss. I opened up the codex a entry and read it and when I exited it was a purple gem. Is it possible for a diamond to turn into a purple gem if you don’t pick it up fast enough or did I imagine the diamond?

high island
#

Final boss is spoilers. Can you spoiler-tag the name or change it "final boss" and move the discussion to #h1-builds-and-combat? squirtnya

sharp fossil
#

oh rip forgot that was a spoiler in this channel

smoky wharf
#

Woops

young epoch
#

I read on the faq that SG is taking a break after 1.0 and it's cool, but can you guys confirm or deny that there are supposed to be 12 gods in total in the final game? (i read this somewhere and i was legit expecting the missing 2 in this last update)

queen frigate
#

Deleted my message with the spoiler.

junior current
#

People are naming the final boss in the for new players section too lol

terse geyser
#

all of the gods meant to be in the game are in the game

young epoch
#

ok thanks

carmine ravine

how much runs do u guys have before take him down?

young epoch

i will support this game for years and years

terse geyser

it's possible you haven't seen some yet, but they're all here

i beat the final boss run 20

queen frigate
#

I don’t think there will be dlc.

nice bro

torpid sinew

before version 1.0?

young epoch

70 hours of playtime

carmine ravine

@carmine ravine a man can dream

Have they ever done post release content before?

sharp fossil

no but

#

we desperately need a continuation with the olympians

#

either dlc or sequel

young epoch
#

watch the impact this game gonna have

sharp fossil
#

but i’m gonna live with the delusion that this will be the first time for as long as i can 😛

young epoch
#

no other title got these many acoolades and got that huge mainstream success

not in this scale, at least

so i hope for dlc this time

narrow hemlock
#

they've done dlc for bastion, but also bastion was published by wb. none for transistor or pyre

young epoch
#

oh i didnt actually know tatz

sharp fossil
#

also this was their first early access game... so many they’ll change it up more and drop some dlc?

#

i can dream

young epoch
#

we can dream

sharp fossil
#

they've done dlc for bastion, but also bastion was published by wb. none for transistor or pyre
wait really

#

what was the dlc

sharp fossil
#

ohh

#

yeah that’d already been added by the time i played it i guess

#

didn’t realise it wasn’t part of the base game

#

anyway, so... PRECEDENT

vale dagger
#

I imagine if enough people clamor for it, that it could happen.

torpid sinew
#

i have 1 successful escape attempt
it was when heroes was last bosses
now i start playing again
65 runs
every build i take i'm easy going one-handed to a final boss, and he's dont give a fcuk
whole game difficulty - 0.1
last boss difficulty - u dead
outrageous

narrow hemlock
#

hades is certainly lined up to be their most successful game and there is a lot they could do with that, but they've been thus far quite humble about its success and may just choose to move on to a new project

#

you'll get it soon @torpid sinew

young epoch
#

yo btw @narrow hemlock where did you find the artwork of chibi characters?

#

cool pfp

terse geyser
#

don't give up, the boss's attacks can be learned and avoided

i honestly found that once you beat the final boss everything just clicks and you can do consecutive escapes

torpid sinew
#

@terse geyser i'll get a anti-aircraft gun and shoot shoot this game soon

narrow hemlock
#

@young epoch they're from keepsakes when you max bond, I cleaned up the image myself to remove the background

young epoch
#

oh wow i thought pngs were around

#

good job then

queen frigate
#

If I clear the furies on heat 4, do I need to clear the whole run before I can get more blood on heat 5?

narrow hemlock
#

Some of them got made into animated stickers on steam, you can check the point shop and save the png files. but it's not all of them

terse geyser
#

If I clear the furies on heat 4, do I need to clear the whole run before I can get more blood on heat 5?
@queen frigate yep

torpid sinew
#

dont give up? why?
why i run this game to a final boss 65 times for nothing?

supple field
#

so im reading coronacht's codex entry and achilles says "i have a distaste for the bow" and achilles is my favorite npc and coronacht my least favorite weapon coincidence? i think not

queen frigate
#

Hmmmm okay. Blood is going to be a bigger bottleneck than I anticipated.

torpid sinew
#

why anything in this game 10 times more easy?

young epoch
#

cause it's fun
but nobody's forcing you lol do as you want

#

dont give up? why?
why i run this game to a final boss 65 times for nothing?

or 20 times more easy

what's the most recent version number
mine is 1.36032 and i don't know if steam missed an update

hello what do I do if i start up the game and the audio is stuck on mute

brisk trail
#

@queen frigate did you do all weapons on heat 4? Otherwise swap to another and slowly grind through them.

young epoch
#

@sharp fossil he says it because chiron was his trainer

#

he probably got his ass whooped

queen frigate
#

@brisk trail No, but I usually only play the weapon with Dark Thirst. Maybe it’s better to ignore it

young epoch

chiron the centaur

no achilles doesnt like bows cause he was killed by one

aw man I'm out rn and can't post on reddit bc I don't log in on mobile, guess I'll just watch the ama 🤧

the full quote from achilles is "I have a distaste for the bow, it must be said, for it was by the bow that my own life was ended early in a manner of debatable glory"

wrong

rama is not a bow
it is clearly a melee weapon

any pre requisites?

i had every other shield aspect unlocked by then but i don't really know if it's required

ahh okay

so unlocking every aspect requires npc talking to us?

ty

tulip acorn
#

Can you only have 1 duo boon at a time?

young epoch
#

only the hidden aspects

#

@smoky tundra

ocean chasm
#

no im pretty sure you can have more than one duo boon

#

iirc

young epoch
#

@tulip acorn nope, as many duo and legendary as you manage to get

smoky tundra
#

thanks

ocean chasm
#

ares aphrodite combo goes too hard

smoky tundra
#

why?

#

ares apro good combo?

ocean chasm
#

if u manage to get the duo boon

#

doom damage can keep resetting on weakened targets

smoky tundra
#

oh i rmbr that weaken doom hint

ocean chasm
#

good for bosses imo

smoky tundra
#

artemis call is weak imo

ocean chasm
#

try it on a single target ;)

tulip acorn
#

So how does this work? I have posidon attack, athena special, aphro cast, and athena dash and I got athena posidon combo, but I went to posidon after hoping to get posidon aphro duo but didn't get it. Is there a chance a duo boon doesnt spawm?

smoky tundra
#

100x10 is like 1000, a little more if crit

#

at least aphro is straight 2.5k

#

poseidon the best

ocean chasm
#

i dont have complaints with artemis call

#

its done me well

smoky tundra
#

if its not full, the arrow doesnr even kill a single crittee

#

god powers are randomly determined

chrome heron
#

you lose your boons and can choose new ones every run

smoky tundra
#

you reset every death

narrow hemlock
#

some calls are objectively better used as a greater call

young epoch
#

both artemis cast and call are strong because they pierce shields from upfront and cause of crit chance

#

they eat theseus

rugged bough
#

you reset every death
@smoky tundra That honestly sucks, takes away your freedom

chrome heron
#

no

ocean chasm
#

dont think of it as taking away your freedom

smoky tundra
#

alright, can someone teach me how artemis greater call is great in any situation?

it's a roguelite

Well, that's the point of a roguelite

@cobalt maple what is it called ?? under which tab ?

smoky wharf
#

Biomes after biomes with no health
@rugged bough If your having trouble with health then try and use money you obtain to buy max health and health recovery in shops, as well as the 2 things fireheart just said above me

tulip acorn
#

I'm in the temple, but why is one of the bluffs (poms) above a tunnel glowing?

young pelican
#

@rugged bough as you collect darkness and keys, you will unlock more parts of the mirror and more weapons. A couple of the things in the mirror deal with health. There is also a couple keepsakes you can get that deal with health. These are obtained by gifting nectar to people in the house of hades (you get nectar from the dungeon and keep it when you die)

The contractor's "Work Orders" tab is mostly not cosmetics, and add things to the dungeons, including randomly spawning fountain rooms that heal you. Also, upon completion of every boss, you move to a new biome and the start of each one has a fountain that heals you, along with a well of charon that can have healing items in it randomly.

cobalt maple

first tab, I'm not sure what it's called

you can combo a single enemy with any weapon without letting them attack

use bow first imo

#

enemies without armor stagger when you hit them
@cobalt maple Thats why I am spending my skills on dash and backstabbing, also slamming them to wall as required

#

oh if you're having an easy time with enemies, then I wouldn't worry about health then, just don't let them hit you as you figure out their attack patterns.

rugged bough
#

Its sed I loose all my godlike powers on death

#

😦

smoky tundra
#

its like dat

#

if not you'll be op

smoky wharf
#

loosing your godlike powers on death is always unfortunate, but such is the cycle of a rougelike

rugged bough
#

Thats my only grudge with the game

smoky wharf
#

one day you walk among the gods, the next you are a mere mortal

rugged bough
#

Other than Hades is lit af

smoky tundra
#

you can set godmode

rugged bough
#

young pelican
#

Yes. You're supposed to lose your powers; those being randomized is the biggest way the game feels different every run. That's, correct me if I'm wrong, how rogue-lites are supposed to work.

smoky wharf
#

no matter the run you'll get a chance at a new way to play

young pelican
#

I've always sucked at this kind of game, so health upgrades were what i went for first. Took me a full 33 runs before i even got to the end once

smoky wharf
#

The best part of a rougelike in my opinion is the experimentation that it offers

#

you go through run after run seeing what works, seeing what doesn't

rugged bough
#

oh if you're having an easy time with enemies, then I wouldn't worry about health then, just don't let them hit you as you figure out their attack patterns.
@young pelican Well I get strike once in every dungeon, no matter what, or else I woulnt have even cared and looked out for a permanent health upgrade

#

By the time I reached Meg, I was at 2HP

#

eventually you find what you like best and at that point you gain the ability to try and pursue your preferred way to play

#

@rugged bough get hammer boon as priority

what is boon ?

Is it the shelve like thing ???

do you have an ares boon

smoky wharf
#

@tulip acorn have you happened to talk to Ares recently, because i think that may be the doom effect

tulip acorn
#

No I havent

#

Never talked to ares this run

smoky wharf
#

Doom activates after a second or too and it will deal extra damage to the enemy (can be anywhere from 50-80 for starting level)

tulip acorn
#

But I have legendary posi boon, is it that?

#

Ya it's not that, that's normally a sword above their head

smoky wharf
#

oh uh well i dont know what it is (haven't played enough to know everything

tulip acorn
#

This is an x next to their hp

smoky wharf
#

Theres a way you can look at your boons to see what it may be (idk what the button may be as by probability your probably on pc)

rugged bough
#

daedalus hammer upgrades your weapon
@smoky tundra Ok

young pelican
#

@tulip acorn is it to the right of their health bar? It might be Privileged Status, if you have that active. It's kind of orange-red

tulip acorn
#

Yeah probably that, PS

#

Thanks I was thinking that

smoky wharf
#

Whats the priviliged status?

rugged bough
#

learn to recognise their icon before entering a room
@smoky tundra Is it perma upgrade upin death ?

tulip acorn
#

I'm on switch

young pelican
#

@smoky wharf it's a mirror of night bonus that adds percentage damage to an enemy with two or more of your debuffs on them

tulip acorn
#

No. But some give currency u can spend to upgrade permanently @rugged bough

lilac flicker
#

CONGRATS ON THE 1.0!!! Hades is the best!

smoky wharf
#

@rugged bough there is different ways to upgrade weapons permanently, daedelous hammer upgrades hammer for that run

smoky tundra
#

for beginners, get charons keepsake, give him nectar

tulip acorn
#

The purple tear drop, the green treasure, the key, and the orange drink thingy (nectar)

smoky wharf
#

Oh I dont think I'm using the upgrade so i wouldn't have known @young pelican, thanks for telling me

tulip acorn
#

I like to get skelly or Cerberus keepsake, free revive or extra hp

smoky tundra
#

his keepsakes increases the items duration from the well

#

buying a 10% heal for 10 turns will help a lot

tulip acorn
#

^^ true

smoky tundra
#

its like approx 40 coins only

young pelican
#

@smoky wharf it's shared with Family Favorite, which gives you percent damage based on the number of different gods whose boons you have. for me, i like Family Favorite better, just because i don't have to think about applying debuffs, but Privileged Status caps out at 40% more damage, where as maxxed out Family Favorite only gives 5% per individual god, so that one can go bad based on the rolls you get for gods

smoky wharf
#

Yeah im using family favorite

potent carbon
#

finally finished my first spear run

tulip acorn
#

Nice!

potent carbon
#

236% special damage with exploding spear that does 4x damage to armor

#

and 4 athena dashes

tulip acorn
#

Damn

potent carbon
#

first time I beat hades without using defiance

brazen marten
#

Guys please help me, I am trying to move my saving files to another PC but the new pc isn't recognized the save
what to do

tulip acorn
#

Does Hermes attack speed change how long it takes to charge bow shot?

potent carbon
#

all I had to do was use spear as a ranged weapon the entire time

#

now all I have to do is is figure out how to cheese from range with fists too

tulip acorn
#

Long knuckle XD

#

Does knockback work on bosses?

fading gazelle
#

Nope

tulip acorn
#

:( even with legendary posidon boon? Sad

fading gazelle
#

It does do reasonable damage however

cobalt maple
#

you can get a poseidon boon that converts knockback to damage on bosses

fading gazelle
#

@brazen marten What are you playing on?

tulip acorn
#

PC I assume

potent carbon
#

poseidon is really OP against regular enemies

tulip acorn
#

True

potent carbon
#

but kinda sucky on boss unless you can get that boon

fading gazelle
#

Sorry I mean Epic or Steam?

tulip acorn
#

Does anyone know If hermes attack speed affects bow charge time?

fading gazelle
#

It doesn't if I recall

tulip acorn
#

Damn

fading gazelle
#

Cause the hermes speed boon doesn't increase charge up time on shield or spear

tulip acorn
#

Let's hope I can get that last posidon boon before the boss

fading gazelle
#

Good luck!

green wave
#

Heya, so last night I asked a question about a particular character's voice line and @terse geyser said to ask again today when the person who could answer was awake. Anyone know by chance who can give me the information I desire?

tulip acorn
#

Nope, but FINALLy got the pom pom buff. Right as I have to go to the boss :(

smoky wharf
#

I'm boutta go fight the 3rd lvl boss, wish me luck

tulip acorn
#

Good luck!

smoky wharf
#

Died

tulip acorn
#

Rip

potent carbon
#

yea that sounds about right

smoky wharf
#

ugh the boss on the 3rd lvl can be really tough if you dont have a revive still

narrow hemlock
#

@green wave I was actually dm'd about this, I'm not at home currently though and can't pull up what you're asking about

tulip acorn
#

Well uh, crush shot 1->4 with one pom pom. Not broken at all

potent carbon
#

how good you deal with elysium boss usually tells how the rest of the run is going to go tbh

smoky wharf
#

Yeah

potent carbon
#

focus the big boi first

tulip acorn
#

Ya, and having athena dash makes it much easier

smoky wharf
#

Idk why but i've always but focus on big boi first without any reason

#

but one time i pulled up with the sword and absolutely curb stomped them

#

and honestly don't understand why that time they were so easy

tulip acorn
#

You can focus on theseus to remove the ranged support

#

Mino is easy solo

smoky wharf
#

ranged support isn't too much of a problem, just dodge his spear every so often

tulip acorn
#

True

smoky wharf
#

Mino has far larger attacks during the duo phase so focusing him allows me to fight the other one without too much issue

tulip acorn
#

All right, time to fight the big boi.

#

I have too many good boons, if I lose im gonna be so sad

green wave
#

@narrow hemlock Ok! Thats fine!

smoky wharf
#

Oh no, Cerebus is thinking about ravaging the lounge again

#

i've worked so hard on cleaning it up tho...

tulip acorn
#

My one shots are gonna do 1400

smoky wharf
#

Also i've gotta say getting diamonds is really annoying

#

as i've already finished everyone weapon for diamonds so finding more is hard (i think i've done everyone of them

#

Might want a spoiler tag on that one May

tulip acorn
#

Knockback totally works on bosses, shoving back final boss twice with every shot

#

Yeah I deleted it

smoky wharf
#

ik

tulip acorn
#

Sry bout that

smoky wharf
#

all good, you took care of it quick so i doubt many people saw it anyways

potent carbon
#

is Hestia viable at lvl1?

narrow hemlock
#

give me a few hours and I'll get back to you

smoky wharf
#

Hey so quick question what is ||Ambrosia|| used for (I'm spoiler tagging it as im uncertain if it is considered a spoiler or not)

fading gazelle
#

It isn't but its kind of you to spoiler it anyway. It's essentially higher quality nectar used for advancing relationships beyond a certain point and upgrading the ||legendary keepsakes||

smoky wharf
#

Oh

#

alright well i was asking as no usage for it has appearred as of yet so i wanted to ask (par for trading), also thanks for letting me know it isn't a spoiler

tulip acorn
#

NOOOO was so close to beating final boss w/o any revives

smoky wharf
#

Ooof

tulip acorn
#

I was chunking him for a 6th of his hp with every shot

#

It was gross

smoky wharf
#

How many phases did you get through

tulip acorn
#

I dodged into a ghost pot :(

#

I beat him

#

2

smoky wharf
#

Oh you've beaten him? lucky

#

granted i've only had this game for 2 days so me even being able to reach him is a feat on its own

tulip acorn
#

I had 3 death defiance but messed up before the last sjot

#

I can understand I've had it for 4

smoky wharf
#

Yeah i probably should save up and get the 2nd rank of death defiance shouldn't I

tulip acorn
#

Def

smoky wharf
#

im still on rank 1

tulip acorn
#

It's so strong

#

50% hp every revive is great

#

Adds a lot of room for error

potent carbon
#

hmmm

#

hestia, or eris?

fading gazelle
#

Niether

smoky wharf
#

I don't know whos who

#

or who they are

fading gazelle
#

Rail Aspects

smoky wharf
#

Ah

fading gazelle
#

I prefer the Zagreus aspect over both

smoky wharf
#

that'd explain it i haven't upgraded it yet

fading gazelle
#

but Hestia is a close second

potent carbon
#

man

#

I need more titan blood

smoky wharf
#

same

tulip acorn
#

That feeling when you have 3 Duos and a legendary

fading gazelle
#

Ooh nice

#

Purge them all dusa

smoky wharf
#

Also I really wish the last person from the "Others of Note" tab would show up

tulip acorn
#

INGENIOUS. Sucks I can't find a fountain now :(

potent carbon
#

hestia is only 50 dmg at lvl1 tho

smoky wharf
#

I want to get the keepsakes achievement but one person is still missing

#

Also i've been relying on the game to tell me what weapon to take and as a result i've only gotten to use the spear once

#

Rest in piece the chat in here

raven horizon
#

Yeah, I might stop chasing that 20% gem buff thing lol

tulip acorn
#

Beat 3rd run, the STORY BEATS ARE SO GOOD

smoky wharf
#

Lucky for you

#

and congrats

raven horizon
#

Some of the songs in this game are very reminiscent of Doom, and part of me always thinks Zag is gonna slap on some green armor and slap Hades in the face

tulip acorn
#

It's not luck, its skill 😏

smoky wharf
#

Still

cobalt anvil
#

OMG Gavin just replied to my question

#

I'm so happy rn

smoky wharf
#

That came out of nowhere as my name is Gavin so i became confused

cobalt anvil
#

The AMA on reddit is still on

#

Any of you got any questions?

smoky wharf
#

I don't know enough about the game to ask good questions

cobalt anvil
#

What about their previous games?

smoky wharf
#

I guess if anything is a potential multiplayer mode planned (I doubt it but it'd be cool)

#

This is my first game by supergiant

limber folio
#

Will there be support for mouse-click-move and use keyboard for skills/dash?

cobalt anvil
#

They only do this every 3 years

#

@limber folio I think you should ask them not us

raven horizon
#

If they added coop to Hades I would probably die

fading gazelle
#

@cobalt anvil They do Q&A's pretty often

cobalt anvil
#

Do they now

fading gazelle
cobalt anvil
#

Oh yeah

#

I'm sorry for the misinfo

limber folio
#

@cobalt anvil ask them where?

cobalt anvil
#

On reddit

#

right now

limber folio
#

ah, I don't have a reddit account

cobalt anvil
#

Go to announcements

knotty jackal
#

What does getting max hearts do for u

raven horizon
#

After looking at who voiced what, they have some incredibly talented VAs under their belt lol

fading gazelle
#

You made a BFF squirtnya

raven horizon
#

If Dusa isn’t your first BFF, I can’t accept your existence as factual.

remote turret
#

patent topaz
#

fading gazelle
#

@remote turret It's pure rng

#

You can only access it in the mid-biome shop

patent topaz
#

it's about 20-25%
it's secret after all

hollow onyx
#

@patent topaz There is still over an hour to ask questions

patent topaz
#

severe sierra

#

Going fast with my boy hermes

raven horizon
#

If he doesn’t make at least one sonic reference I’m gonna be big sad

#

“Oh, well Charon is calling me. Gotta go fast!”

tulip acorn
#

Which aspect for rail should I get? Eris or hestia? Not sure which is better

fading gazelle
#

Hestia is better in my opinion

#

But Eris is easier to get used to
