dodge their attacks
the boss has far wider range than you think. Far far wider
don't run into walls painted as the exit
Varatha's enhanced larger spin would probably be somewhat accurate. So. Stand far away.
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.)
avoid poisonous mushrooms
don't fall in deadly pits of spears
My friend was explosive Cast (thanks Dionysus!). Nearly got the final one with it. Nearly.
its my 1st time fighting him, ive been using zeus aspect shield
OPr any pits, really.
don't get hypothermia
Shield is good. Play defensively in that case.
Artemis's tip: You can track the boss's movement if you watch the footprints.
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
also, i have no death's defiance. 3rd boss took 2 of them, poison took the 3rd
so this'll suck
o0f
if you don't get em this time, you'll get em later
seriously, those poison levels are bs
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.
alright, im gonna give it a go now
That run can go die in a hole.
gl Hedphones
i keep fingers crossed for your epic death
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
Lets talk mirrors... God's Pride vs. God's Legacy?
(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)
I remember transistor but I didn't played it 
(I was... 20 % of bosshealth away from victory.)
i lost, but i took 2/3s of his life on the way down
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
Headphones: ||The first life, or even from the second wind he gets||?
he's got a second wind?
anyone else not able to give hades nectar? like the action command doesnt pop up for me
I am sorry to break you world like that
That was... the worst possible way to ask that
spoiling any part of the fight is just rude
oh, sorry?
the rate for Duo to appear is pure random?
Hades is story locked for nectar
still, CG to Headphones for making it so far!
that explains why the fight felt easy
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
that explains why the fight felt easy
@sterile frigate Dunno, for me personaly the part you were at was the hard one.
You realized it should be spoilered, but didn't think that maybe the person you were asking didn't already know?
@terse geyser in my original run i gave him one early, now on hell mode ive never had a chance that lets me
yea
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.
anyone else around?


You're a fool if you think a Than wall will scare me
I have more tools at my disposal than you could ever imagine
low-quality MS paint edits
I've assuredly won this time
DGDFSGFHAG
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS
I have more tools at my disposal than you could ever imagine
@terse geyser ahah, than
oh no
oh yes
anyways, hades
so i was a fouél and had a cold brew at 2 so here i an, 1 am, playing hades
A wise decision
oh no
Two kinds of people ^
there are worse things to be doing at 1 am
but there are also better things
e.g. sleep
you poor man
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
which reminds me
why don't we have a charon emote here
oh rip i died on a trap
how does it run?
fps, load times, etc.
so far pretty well, i haven't had any lag or long loadings
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
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.
Probably a me thing, but when the game's framerate dips is when you don't want the framerate to dip.
lmao alecto killing herself on her own trap has to be the most hilarious thing i've ever seen
Can we get a hades artbooks?
I haven't had issues with reloading the gun
@chilly pawn I think the gun doesn't reload automatically
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
spoopy font
also W O T
picked up aph keepsake with GY
immediately get hammer + charged skewer out of the gate
mfw
S P E C I A Lhi
Is that a resident evil font?
3 rooms in, build complete
o_0
got charged skewer out the gate, then darkness, then aph special
gg
Wow, I'm kinda in disbelief...I'm on a 17 win streak.
guys can help me in tech-support?
Came for some motivation but seeing people beat the game 17 times...

if it became too hard for you, its fine to activate god mode
God mode? I used to play Diablo on hardcore...
Now I can't get to the final boss after 12 hours
Ruthless reflex or Greater reflex?
being able to dash 2 times in a row really saves you sometimes
use hidden aspect of fists gives you free 2 dashes
what a chump
i got than on run 20 and i'm on 26 right now
do you have to do something for him to appear?
for some reason he only appears for me when i have chaos boons
huh?
this game was so much fun to play. 😋 we are interested in publishing this game(android version)
Pretty sure this is not the right place for that
i thought this is the quickest way that i can contact with the devs..
Pretty sure they already publish older games themselves
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
that's a missed opportunity for Hypnos to throw you a towel and quip about how much you suck
No, im pretty good, but THESSEUS CAN GO STICK HIS SHIELD UP HIS~
well if it is any consolation
there is at least one addition you can have for the walking out of styx animation
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
run*
If you want
i'll go back to being depressed in the meantime
cause tfw no megaera gf
tfw no customizable dusa hats
cause tfw no megaera gf
@ebon thistle wdym
you mean you have one?
Ok so it doesn't change the animation itself
but it adds petals dramatically falling down from above
i think its one of the decorations for sale
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.
wh
why not?
if they ever add mod support you can kidnap a couple of artists and make it happen
Sounds like a plan
I could probably bring this up during the ama they’re doing today 🤔
Correction: I should probably bring this up
every weapon feels op when you use it for the first time
choranocht would like to have a word with you
Hi guys is this channel free of spoiler?
unpopular opinion
What would be the popular opinion?
What would be the popular opinion?
gun shoot good but has flaw
Hi guys is this channel free of spoiler?
@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
same
but the ||elysium|| boss battle actually kicks my ass more than the final boss battle
about 4 runs here
Did you play the prerelease?
this was in early access yea
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?
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
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.
Is Personal Liability in non-Hell Mode?
So was debating on starting a god mode save for fun while waiting on a fix.
does anyone else think that dusa's keepsake is very useful?
Is it just me or does the audio cut out when i attack with the Fists
sounds like you didn't download the secondary hit sound or something
try verifying game files
Is it just me that feels as if 3rd boss is the hardest?
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
Idk once he starts calling gods and blocking every ability hes a pain
3 boss is easy after the first few fails. But the 4th one gets me every time.
still haven't beaten #4
#3 i can normally get through with only one DD
i only ever lose DDs to boss #3 and 4
i can button mash my way past the entire first two areas lol
Issue is that you don't really progress anymore if you fail the 4th boss all the time :/
yeah
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
it gets a bit boring
hello
Yeah me too
i keep getting it to almost dead
But I can only use the starting weapon. The one I upgraded
ooooof
Ive just been testing stuff havent really been thinking much about killing 4th
But i think my first clear will be with rails
i wish the bounty resources weren't so limited
I plan on going zeus ares artemis
How
and the lack of knockback really hurts
Upgraded sword is really fast
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.?
Do attack dmg buffs also affect dash-attack?
yes
Ty
The current version is 1.35966 right?
omg ||when u use shield rush ability (hold lmb) you have projectiles protection||
1.36032
is this the most powerful weapon?
Oh there was a small patch?
axea || it blocks all attacks from front not just projectiles ||
whoa
What did it patch?
most likely just some hotfixes
holy crap, I'm near the ||hydra|| and I don't get damage
or if I do get damage I quickly restore it
I'm a god
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...
so like, if I haven't cleared with 3 i won't start with 4 even though I can do 4.
i think they nerfed the asphodel witch coven
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
No
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
okay, cool
You can skip like pokeuser said
So i'm not wrong
no point tho
Someone tell me this is not true
It isn't, you only get 1 heat level rewards per run
So you're safe
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?
@stiff jetty
another thing to note, mini-boss rooms will always (except ||styx||) reroll into another god boon
The game has almost 50k viewers on twitch
heck yeah 
@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
soft cap of 2, hard cap of 3 he appears in ||the styx shop||
hermes is weird
do you read the mechanics from lua scripts or is it just experience
just experience, I can't read code/scripts to save my life 
@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
Hi, is there a bug with Aphrodite's favor?
If I remember the codex correctly though, taking Hermes' Lambent Plume as your keepsake makes the legendaries eligible to spawn though
i cant finish that no matter how hard I try
is there a way to force the game to give me the codex? I finished the game and achilles still didn' t give me the codex 😩
@steel lintel you should write this in #h1-tech-support
thanks
How many runs have you done total?
around 40
That's certainly a lot with no codex... I assume you've talked to most people and given nectar to a few at least?
right, probably a bug, or i might have progressed too far without speaking achilles and skipped the trigger? I wrote it down to the tech support.
i just want to learn ||patroculus||' name ingame so i can him a nectar
@hushed hamlet please don’t make those jokes
Congrats! Woooo!
54k viewers on Twitch! Are we eSport level yet?
@limpid glacier way to kick ass, now do it again!
cohh brings in such a huge audience
broooo. i jsut played after months of not playing and the 300gold boss is so much harder than the final boss
wtf
lol
i lost like 2 DDs on him. when i can usually beat the final boss without dying
Is it possible to make it through asphodel without getting one regular Boon door? I have Dios cup equipped and didn’t get one use out of him
First time I think this has happened to me
yeah it's a hard fight especially if you fight him in tartaros
holy crap ||Elysium bosses (two dudes)|| are tough
It’s crazy how their are huge streamers I’ve never heard of before with big audiences
yeah they are, just focus on the big guy first
Who is this corr guy? Why is he so popular?
oh ok I was focusing on small one first
what game engine?>
originally microsoft XNA that they rewrote, noclip has a documentry series where they talk about it
highly recommend
Lucky Tooth VS Evergreen Acorn?
And I get replenish one use
Does it add one
Or not
Lucky Tooth VS Evergreen Acorn?
@sinful spruce acorn
afaik it doesnt add one
What's your reasoning?
5 hits from bosses often exceeds 100 damage
And u can use it on all 4 bosses
That’s easily 400 damage resisted
i usually use the broken spearpoint
And if it's just for the last boss?
@sinful spruce yes it’s worth
Aight, thanks
This Zag dialogue with Theseus is too much
he also has multiple new lines if you bring the yarn of ariadne with you when u fight him
YOOO GOTY CONTENDOR https://twitter.com/michaelphigham/status/1308188178277228544?s=20
^gamespot writer
any switch players?
Why do I have the "friends forever" achievement when I definitely have not fufilled its requirements
any switch players?
@severe sierra yep
Why do I have the "friends forever" achievement when I definitely have not fufilled its requirements
@floral belfry bug
odd for a bugged achivement to be obtained by only 3.1% players, maybe only cus 1.0 doesn't have most playerbase compared to total lifetime of the game
Will Hades Be Multiplayer at some point
No
that's answered in #hades-faq , essential the game is built from the ground up as a single player experience
cool any exclusive content on the switch?
who has a pc copy
sorry for the questions..
cool any exclusive content on the switch?
nope
hmmm im going to try something later
is back to work bugged? i have access to, and have entered the administrative chamber but im not getting the achievement
just wondering if i need to do something specific to trigger it
i've discovered that some achievements dont register until you enter a new area
like the one with petting cerberus 10 times, i did it close to 40 and it didnt register until i went into zag's room
yea, cause game saves after each room i think
but i have entered and left
a bunch
i'll do a run and then re enter it
I just unlocked more mirror perks, but not sure what I should dump my points into. Help?
Privileged Status vs. Family Favorite
Olympian Favor vs. Dark Foresight
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 |||
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.
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.
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.
poseidon
Athena and Aphros stick to enemies so you get them back faster than trippy shot
Aphro is good for pure dmg but sometimes spawns the cast behind the enemy
i also love posi cast
SGG wanted to thank you for purchasing Hades
Lmao, my scren got stuck, replied to the wronf thibg
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
i just died to tiny rodent
Can someone explain exactly how Dire Misfortune the Ares boon works? please.
Doom effects applied multiple times stack
I have Cluster bomb on the rail rn with the ares doom special
Oh yeah for every time you hit something with something that can proc doom, it does a small amount of bonus dmg
but no other doom boons
So if you attack procs doom and you have rail gun, you can quickly ramp up dmg
my question is would it be worth taking over impending doom?
(the boon that slows down the effect but makes it stronger)
I don't think so, considering rail special doesnt hit multiple times, right?
It's just one big hit?
only adds 14 damage per stack tho
they are both epic
70% damage buff for impending doom
but 50% - 100% slower activation
So it would be 14x4+regular doom dmg
pretty much yeah
Getting both is the best, if you keep looking for it, bc they scale w/ each other
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
100
So extra 70 dmg?
so 14 x 4 would be almost equivalent to 70% bonus (70 damage)
i dont bother to do any math i just kill things haha
But all clusters have to hit
you're onto it river lul
true
but the slower effect rate is the thing that is throwing me with this
It has higher potential dmg output, but impending is easier to proc dmg, but less often
i feel like the stacks would be better
Yeah, one is easier, but less consistent
right
Up to you, both very similar
for sure i suppose youre right
Sorry I didn't help much XD
i might get lucky and be able to get ares boon for my main attack
what should I look to build in default no aspect spear?
need to beat heat 0 with that thing
but nah the discussion is always good
helps me consider my options more or differently
Default spear is better with special
if you have upgraded it at all
for sure
the speed makes it very fun with the right kinda of build
same with the bow imo
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
Charged volleyyyy
triple sucks
explosive is good if you're building for iy
charged volley is my fave hammer
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
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
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.
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
Feels like most of the purple mirror choices are just... better, so it’s nice to switch it up.
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?
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
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)
Dash attacking removes the iframes? That explains so much.
Maybe Gcon, whose to say lol
How does Bad News work with Trippy Shot? On impact?
Alright, well thank you anyways
Yes, on impact
Also I agree, ||Hades|| is rough man to defeat, i've reached him 3 times and i've only reached the 2nd phase once
I went with explosive mostly cause u have deflect on special and I wanted to keep the instacast full screen deflect
How is the first phase harder?
First phase is harder because of the ads.
the adds make it more chaotic
The second one is just hiding and waiting.
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
Really big windows to dish out dmg after this magma beam show.
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?
Final boss is spoilers. Can you spoiler-tag the name or change it "final boss" and move the discussion to #h1-builds-and-combat? 
oh rip forgot that was a spoiler in this channel
Woops
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)
Deleted my message with the spoiler.
People are naming the final boss in the for new players section too lol
all of the gods meant to be in the game are in the game
ok thanks
its kinda obvious who he is
hoping for dlcs then
how much runs do u guys have before take him down?
i will support this game for years and years
it's possible you haven't seen some yet, but they're all here
i beat the final boss run 20
I don’t think there will be dlc.
already bought 2 copies in 70 hour lol
nice bro
before version 1.0?
70 hours of playtime
olympus dlc yes 
@carmine ravine a man can dream
Have they ever done post release content before?
nope
no but
watch the impact this game gonna have
but i’m gonna live with the delusion that this will be the first time for as long as i can 😛
no other title got these many acoolades and got that huge mainstream success
not in this scale, at least
tartarus dating simulator 
so i hope for dlc this time
they've done dlc for bastion, but also bastion was published by wb. none for transistor or pyre
oh i didnt actually know tatz
also this was their first early access game... so many they’ll change it up more and drop some dlc?
i can dream
we can dream
they've done dlc for bastion, but also bastion was published by wb. none for transistor or pyre
wait really
what was the dlc
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
I imagine if enough people clamor for it, that it could happen.
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
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
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
@terse geyser i'll get a anti-aircraft gun and shoot shoot this game soon
@young epoch they're from keepsakes when you max bond, I cleaned up the image myself to remove the background
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?
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
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
dont give up? why?
why i run this game to a final boss 65 times for nothing?
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
Hmmmm okay. Blood is going to be a bigger bottleneck than I anticipated.
why anything in this game 10 times more easy?
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
uh quick question
what's the most recent version number
mine is 1.36032 and i don't know if steam missed an update
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
@supple field spear is just bow with extra steps change my mind
5min to AMA on R/NintendoSwitch
hello what do I do if i start up the game and the audio is stuck on mute
@queen frigate did you do all weapons on heat 4? Otherwise swap to another and slowly grind through them.
@sharp fossil he says it because chiron was his trainer
he probably got his ass whooped
@brisk trail No, but I usually only play the weapon with Dark Thirst. Maybe it’s better to ignore it
chiron the centaur
no achilles doesnt like bows cause he was killed by one
also that
paris killed him with an arrow to the heel (with help from apollo ofc)
no achilles doesnt like bows cause he was killed by one
yeah i always thought it was this
spear is just bow with extra steps change my mind
this conversation has happened already. Every weapon is bow
Is there any way to share seeds with a friend? I would love to do "daily runs" with a bunch of my friends?
maybe i have a bug or something?
i throw a lighting damaging crystals into middle of arena, running away, and heroes dies just by lightings
but not the last boss
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"
this conversation has happened already. Every weapon is bow
wrong
rama is not a bow
it is clearly a melee weapon
nah bruh
maybe when i setup list of punishments, boss difficulty is drastically changed?
How is the last aspect of the Twin Fists gets unlocked?
I can't "talk" to him
Okay, thanks
he will mention it eventually
I see
i see, nobody cares
boss difficoulty means everything and nothing
lmao the AMA is just flooded with DLC requests
how is the last aspect for the shield unlocked also
others affect you for the whole duration of the run
@ocean chasm talk to chaos
it will come up
any pre requisites?
i had every other shield aspect unlocked by then but i don't really know if it's required
got hunting blade in first boss room. too soon? lul
sometimes you just gotta play more, it will come up eventually
ahh okay
so unlocking every aspect requires npc talking to us?
ty
Can you only have 1 duo boon at a time?
@tulip acorn nope, as many duo and legendary as you manage to get
thanks
ares aphrodite combo goes too hard
oh i rmbr that weaken doom hint
good for bosses imo
artemis call is weak imo
try it on a single target ;)
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?
100x10 is like 1000, a little more if crit
at least aphro is straight 2.5k
poseidon the best
if its not full, the arrow doesnr even kill a single crittee
god powers are randomly determined
you lose your boons and can choose new ones every run
you reset every death
some calls are objectively better used as a greater call
both artemis cast and call are strong because they pierce shields from upfront and cause of crit chance
they eat theseus
you reset every death
@smoky tundra That honestly sucks, takes away your freedom
no
dont think of it as taking away your freedom
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
^
every run is a new challenge
That's a core part of the game design
U keep a lot more than other roguelights tbh
Death isn't meant to be seen as a negative in the game, and a lot of the narrative is built around you dying
ur meant to die
@rugged bough please dont evade the swear filter
speaking of narrative holy cow i literally bought the game twice because of it
dont think of it as taking away your freedom
@ocean chasm Freedom with regards to choosing your weapon, yes
i want a longer hades game
there's chance for dlc
more room design
If you kept boons, you would eventually have every single boon at the same time and would basically clear a room with one attack
let supergiant know though twitter or ama @smoky tundra
that you want more from this game
I'm waiting for Hades DLC
twitter? i reply or @ them?
i encourage everyone else to do so
what aspect is good for the stygian
stygian what now?
i just want some dlc for this wonderful game
the base weapon
i want a long game like metroid/castlevania but with hades
all of them are good tbh
If you kept boons, you would eventually have every single boon at the same time and would basically clear a room with one attack
@maiden mulch I would love to now, but imagine a situation with little to no life bar and encountering a boss with all the special powers you equipped to get here, no one is God like, this is not souls or bloodborne, although I am enjoying it very much
@steel flicker yo that's against the fates will
@smoky tundra maybe one where you play as meg or Achilles?
Nemesis is most people's go-to for the crits
i found something'
lots of dps so you can Go Fast ™️
but poseidon aspect is good for cast builds
@rugged bough for some reason my response to you is in the new players room
@rugged bough for some reason my response to you is in the new players room
@wheat pecan I am not new to difficulty but bad design choice nvm
I don't think rogue lites are for you then man
So I found something :-P
yeah it's not a game design choice, that's literally how the genre works
You actually keep more resources in Hades post death than other rogue lites
I don't think rogue lites are for you then man
@proven crown Oh I gonna get to the end game, you bet
dying and coming back to the house of hades is the only way to advance parts of the story
dying and coming back to the house of hades is the only way to advance parts of the story
@young pelican I see what about health pool ??? Does it gets passively stronger ?
Even if you miss the chance to upgrade ?
yes
have you checked out the mirror yet?
have you checked out the mirror yet?
@young pelican I did, I am ignoring decoration chart, the guy next to hades, is it important ?
otherwise, you need centaur hearts
Says all cosmetics
No the mirror in the bed room
Also the contractors have more than cosmetics for sale
in the mirror of night, you can increase your hp
@chrome heron Yes I am aware of it, I am coming from souls/Sekiro, enemies are easy, but I am dying due to less health pool and no flask to regen health
That sucks
Biomes after biomes with no health
you can buy upgrade from contractor that puts in random health regen rooms
Yeah, no, the best you get is Dusa's Harpy Feather Duster keepsake, which gives a small chance at finding food when breaking pots
and yes, the contractor can put in fountain rooms as well to restore health.
you can buy upgrade from contractor that puts in random health regen rooms
@cobalt maple what is it called ?? under which tab ?
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
I'm in the temple, but why is one of the bluffs (poms) above a tunnel glowing?
@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.
first tab, I'm not sure what it's called
@rugged bough work orders
Its hardcore flashing
@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
@smoky wharf Cool, thanks
Much appreiated
I'm in the temple, but why is one of the bluffs (poms) above a tunnel glowing?
@tulip acorn
two level pom
I will look for fireheart
Ah okay ty
Enough with dying
dont stand still
I dont lol, enemies are easy peasy\
just dont get hit
get 4x dash hehe
If i get into traps
also
also what in hell
enemies without armor stagger when you hit them
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
get flurry shot
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.
loosing your godlike powers on death is always unfortunate, but such is the cycle of a rougelike
Thats my only grudge with the game
one day you walk among the gods, the next you are a mere mortal
Other than Hades is lit af
you can set godmode
♥
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.
no matter the run you'll get a chance at a new way to play
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
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
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
imma be honest im surprised how quickly i've been going in the game
boon is the blessings
Is it the shelve like thing ???
oh, I thought when you said enemies were "easy peasy" you meant that you were just ramroding through the dungeons and just getting hurt by bosses
I got one from posedon
daedalus hammer upgrades your weapon
learn to recognise their icon before entering a room
picked up the game and i've done about 20 runs and each time i reach elysium at the very least quite often and i've reached the final boss about 3 times
When I hit a monster, a glaring red X appears next to their hp bar, what is that?
yeah @smoky wharf you're going way faster than i did lol, it was well over 20 runs before i was able to beat the third boss
do you have an ares boon
@tulip acorn have you happened to talk to Ares recently, because i think that may be the doom effect
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)
But I have legendary posi boon, is it that?
Ya it's not that, that's normally a sword above their head
oh uh well i dont know what it is (haven't played enough to know everything
This is an x next to their hp
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)
daedalus hammer upgrades your weapon
@smoky tundra Ok
@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
Whats the priviliged status?
learn to recognise their icon before entering a room
@smoky tundra Is it perma upgrade upin death ?
I'm on switch
@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
No. But some give currency u can spend to upgrade permanently @rugged bough
CONGRATS ON THE 1.0!!! Hades is the best!
@rugged bough there is different ways to upgrade weapons permanently, daedelous hammer upgrades hammer for that run
for beginners, get charons keepsake, give him nectar
The purple tear drop, the green treasure, the key, and the orange drink thingy (nectar)
Oh I dont think I'm using the upgrade so i wouldn't have known @young pelican, thanks for telling me
I like to get skelly or Cerberus keepsake, free revive or extra hp
his keepsakes increases the items duration from the well
buying a 10% heal for 10 turns will help a lot
^^ true
its like approx 40 coins only
@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
Yeah im using family favorite
finally finished my first spear run
Nice!
236% special damage with exploding spear that does 4x damage to armor
and 4 athena dashes
Damn
first time I beat hades without using defiance
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
Does Hermes attack speed change how long it takes to charge bow shot?
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
Nope
:( even with legendary posidon boon? Sad
It does do reasonable damage however
you can get a poseidon boon that converts knockback to damage on bosses
@brazen marten What are you playing on?
PC I assume
poseidon is really OP against regular enemies
True
but kinda sucky on boss unless you can get that boon
Sorry I mean Epic or Steam?
Does anyone know If hermes attack speed affects bow charge time?
It doesn't if I recall
Damn
Cause the hermes speed boon doesn't increase charge up time on shield or spear
Let's hope I can get that last posidon boon before the boss
Good luck!
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?
Nope, but FINALLy got the pom pom buff. Right as I have to go to the boss :(
I'm boutta go fight the 3rd lvl boss, wish me luck
Good luck!
Died
Rip
yea that sounds about right
ugh the boss on the 3rd lvl can be really tough if you dont have a revive still
@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
Well uh, crush shot 1->4 with one pom pom. Not broken at all
how good you deal with elysium boss usually tells how the rest of the run is going to go tbh
Yeah
focus the big boi first
Ya, and having athena dash makes it much easier
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
ranged support isn't too much of a problem, just dodge his spear every so often
True
Mino has far larger attacks during the duo phase so focusing him allows me to fight the other one without too much issue
All right, time to fight the big boi.
I have too many good boons, if I lose im gonna be so sad
@narrow hemlock Ok! Thats fine!
Oh no, Cerebus is thinking about ravaging the lounge again
i've worked so hard on cleaning it up tho...
My one shots are gonna do 1400
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
Knockback totally works on bosses, shoving back final boss twice with every shot
Yeah I deleted it
ik
Sry bout that
all good, you took care of it quick so i doubt many people saw it anyways
is Hestia viable at lvl1?
give me a few hours and I'll get back to you
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)
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||
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
NOOOO was so close to beating final boss w/o any revives
Ooof
How many phases did you get through
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
I had 3 death defiance but messed up before the last sjot
I can understand I've had it for 4
Yeah i probably should save up and get the 2nd rank of death defiance shouldn't I
Def
im still on rank 1
Rail Aspects
Ah
I prefer the Zagreus aspect over both
that'd explain it i haven't upgraded it yet
but Hestia is a close second
same
That feeling when you have 3 Duos and a legendary
Also I really wish the last person from the "Others of Note" tab would show up
INGENIOUS. Sucks I can't find a fountain now :(
hestia is only 50 dmg at lvl1 tho
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
Yeah, I might stop chasing that 20% gem buff thing lol
Beat 3rd run, the STORY BEATS ARE SO GOOD
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
It's not luck, its skill 😏
Still
That came out of nowhere as my name is Gavin so i became confused
I don't know enough about the game to ask good questions
What about their previous games?
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
Will there be support for mouse-click-move and use keyboard for skills/dash?
If they added coop to Hades I would probably die
@cobalt anvil They do Q&A's pretty often
Do they now
We usually have them in the discord at #ask-supergiant 
@cobalt anvil ask them where?
ah, I don't have a reddit account
