[real narwhal]

honestly i feel like the last area is easy, to me elysium is harder

[granite ether]

that's #music 😉 @tranquil fable

[tranquil fable]

My money is on the acorn though

It's so good

[eager vortex]

guys when should I expect getting repeating diologue?

[granite ether]

acorn is good against final boss, skelly is good leading up to final boss

[real narwhal]

after 30000 hours of gameplay

[eager vortex]

0_0

[real narwhal]

(jokin)

[eager vortex]

i'm aware

lol

[real narwhal]

ehm i guess it depends like how much you repeat something

[eager vortex]

fair enough

cause ive been playing for 10 hours so far

no repeated lines

[tranquil fable]

I'm 100 escape attempts in and I've gotten repeated dialogue only in the random Zagreus lines during runs

[real narwhal]

definitely should take more than 10 🤔

[eager vortex]

how much did they pay their voice actors lmao

[real narwhal]

i wish they had that kind of voice acting in pyre 😩

[eager vortex]

pyre?

[tranquil fable]

Darren Korb deserves an award

[real narwhal]

their previous game

[eager vortex]

ah ok

[real narwhal]

Logan is also best tho

[tranquil fable]

They all deserve awards for their voice acting

Logan is fantastic

[granite ether]

agreed :3

[quartz knoll]

Did they nerf Chaos Shield

[formal leaf]

Meg voice is my fav
Followed by Skelly and Hades
Then zag

[eager vortex]

skelly sounds the best by far

he's hot too

[formal leaf]

Boyo

[quartz knoll]

The clone doesn't proc bolt multiple times anymore

[real narwhal]

I love supergiant voice acting, i dont know what it is about it, but its so specific to supergiant games

i dont know if its the directing, or the writing

[granite ether]

I know zagreus and skelly ||will never become romance options but I'd love to see Darren romancing Darren for the laughs||

[grim wadi]

hey, been a year since i last played hades. what are some major updates that happened so far? interested to play this game again but i rmb i sucked so badly i didnt win any runs before T_T

[real narwhal]

LOL

doesnt Greg voice someone?

was it hypnos?

[granite ether]

yeah it's hypnos

[tranquil fable]

@real narwhal to be fair, it's the same small pool of Voice actors every time, so they always bring that signature feel. It's great. And they're all so diverse and talented

[real narwhal]

true tho am pretty sure theres new voice actors right?

[tranquil fable]

There are

[real narwhal]

@grim wadi id say the game is easier than it was in early access

i think they did that on purpose

made the early access harder so people could play it longer

[grim wadi]

im like updating hades now and its 5gb worth of download

ahh

[narrow hemlock]

they brought on a few people for voice acting yeah

[tranquil fable]

They also added God mode which should help if you're having difficulty

[real narwhal]

maybe its just me, but it felt like easier to me

[eager vortex]

im like updating hades now and its 5gb worth of download
@grim wadi
40% of that is prob just voice lines lmao

[real narwhal]

and the rest 40% are the bajillion frames

for the character animations

[grim wadi]

any new bosses or something

[eager vortex]

yeah its really smooth

[grim wadi]

i know theres a new weapon

[eager vortex]

what the gun?

[grim wadi]

i think fist

[eager vortex]

oh thats new?

ngl I dont use the bow and gun at all

seem a bit underpowered

or is it just me

[quick marlin]

bow's really strong

[eager vortex]

really?

I should give it a chance then

[quick marlin]

i'm no expert, but i feel like bow's one of the strongest

[jolly mantle]

gun is my worst enemy

[dusk mantle]

Ngl, I hate the rail

[eager vortex]

yeah gun more like ass

[real narwhal]

shield is my worst enemy

[quick marlin]

gun is good with zeus boon

[patent topaz]

fists were introduced two updates ago but ||their 4th aspect|| is new

[dusk mantle]

Spear, shield are the only two I'm comfortable with and made the progress with

[tranquil fable]

I like doing damage really fast, so bow is my hardest weapon because it forces me to slow down

[dusk mantle]

Shield feels like cheating almost

[raw mango]

Bow point blank special so good

[eager vortex]

Spear, shield are the only two I'm comfortable with and made the progress with
yeah spear is good cause of the range

its like a bigger stygian with more aoe

[jolly mantle]

i've really got into the bow recently

[real narwhal]

idk how to make a shield build, i always do so little damage, and because you have to be very close i die easier

[dusk mantle]

Stygian is the sword right ?

[eager vortex]

yea

[real narwhal]

yeah

[formal leaf]

Shield is perfect
I like playing Tanks anyway

[quick marlin]

@tranquil fable With Perfect shot hammer upgrade the one that increases speed power shot makes it a lot easier. Also, if you get the twin shot and flurry upgrade, you break the game

[real narwhal]

thats my favorite personally, for cast builds

[dusk mantle]

I got boons like do 500% damage to armor using shield rush

And deflect boons on shield and dash is super good

[real narwhal]

i never take armor damage boons

cuz bosses dont have armor

and bosses are the main reason i die

[tranquil fable]

I got the upgrade that lets you hold to fire but no power shot, I had a great time.

[eager vortex]

I just take whatever looks good lol

[dusk mantle]

I think Athena boons are best on shielf

[quick marlin]

I got the upgrade that lets you hold to fire but no power shot, I had a great time.
@tranquil fable yeah that one, if you combine it with the twin shot upgrade its broken

[dusk mantle]

Reflect on shield and dash is also good.

[real narwhal]

yeh thats my favorite dash boon thingie

[eager vortex]

ive been playing for 2 hours jesus

ima stop

[polar jackal]

hey bois i gotta ask a veteran (high heat)

are yall controller gang or KBM gang?

[real narwhal]

i always change lol

[eager vortex]

kbm masterrace for life

[real narwhal]

i prefer controller tho

i feel like some weapons are better on different input devices 🤔

[polar jackal]

yep

[real narwhal]

like bow is better with kbm

[quick marlin]

also, getting 3k crit + extra damage with the bow hidden aspect is pretty cool

[polar jackal]

bow and Special on shield kiting

[real narwhal]

but like shield is better on controller

[polar jackal]

is much more clunky with controller..

[real narwhal]

having to mash Q with the shield kills my finger

[polar jackal]

but i do find enjoyinh it more

[real narwhal]

and it takes your fingers off the movement, unlike controllers

[polar jackal]

yep it feels like there are trade offs.

idk

[real narwhal]

if i had to choose id choose controller, but i feel like its one of those games where theres no real answer, unlike an fps or smth like that

[supple field]

ive been playing for 2 hours jesus
@eager vortex i played for 12 hours straight on wednesday

[raw mango]

New switch player here and just curious about others attempts. I first reached ||Hades|| on run #24 and first defeated him on #30

[supple field]

please spoiler final boss name

[raw mango]

How

[supple field]

| | word | | without the spaces

[patent topaz]

|| on both sides

[granite ether]

||like this||

[wind wedge]

So, I think I first reached the Final Boss around run 67? And have yet to beat them yet - currently at run 90 [and have reached them a total of 3 times between 67 and the present]

[real narwhal]

i reached them on 7 attempt and defeated them on that attempt, i think i was really lucky with the boons i had 🤔

[junior galleon]

GL you can do this

[burnt breach]

@pliant dust if you are interested in mods for hades you can find mods on nexusmods.com. There is also the Hades Modding discord, link is in #self-promotion

@potent carbon there is

@lofty dragon you're welcome to make suggestions or requests in the modding server

[dusk mantle]

I finally did it, boyos! My first escape. After 53 attempts lol I suck but I'm glad I made it finally.

Although many of those were experimenting with different weapons

Amazing game btw, best roguelite ever!

[jolly mantle]

congrats @dusk mantle!!! first of many i have no doubt

[dusk mantle]

thanks 🙂

[granite ether]

congrats
The first of many

[cinder lichen]

tfw when you take a Rare Ravenous Will and then last second you see an Epic Demeter's Call

[fleet zephyr]

is there anything that the sundial in the West Hall being always 7:48 referencing or is it just a random time for the "we're underground of course the sundial doesnt work" joke

[subtle cobalt]

How to change variation of a weapon?

[burnt breach]

@subtle cobalt if you mean weapon aspect then just interact with the weapon in the courtyard

[subtle cobalt]

Thanks, what would be the easiest weapon to use?

[meager barn]

shield

both special and attack are really good and its pretty safe

spear and sword are about equal and then bow is probably the hardest

gun doesnt exist

[subtle cobalt]

So when i interact with a weapon, i just pick it up, where do i see its aspect?

[granite cove]

What aspect is the best for cast builds?

[candid spindle]

so, what weapons do you tink its the best?

[meager barn]

personally i think shield is the easiest to build around and gets pretty stupid fast

i havent unlocked the 4th aspects tho

[candid spindle]

ye, shild is a good weapon

[meager barn]

i think bow's easily the worst and my favourite is definitely spear

[desert crest]

I think the bow is really fun so far

[meager barn]

its basically the only weapon where the special is completely useless

[candid spindle]

my favorite is shild, and the worst it is the ranged weapons

[meager barn]

i dont think gun is bad necessarily its just boring imo

[desert crest]

the second aspect from the bow can be pretty good, havent unlocked any others though

[meager barn]

i play it for the special daedalus hammer builds

spear aspects are bad except 4th which is sad

1st is ok but generally you go either attack or special, not both

[candid spindle]

its basically the only weapon where the special is completely useless
@meager barn actualy no, i tink you can use realy close to do a good damage

[meager barn]

i think gun aspects are stupid good

bow special only works when you get specific boons

[candid spindle]

the weapons aspects is aways the same?

[meager barn]

from start its very risky for little reward

yeah, aspects are the same

no rng

[candid spindle]

so how can i change they?

[meager barn]

theyre additive except the 4th one i believe

[hazy panther]

Tbh, I like the sword the most out of all the available weapons. Kind of lame, I know lol

[candid spindle]

the sword is good actualy

[meager barn]

at least its not gun

sword is fun

[candid spindle]

i tink if you get a atenas blass to reflect with you special you can do a good damage for ranged enemys

Gun is the only weapon that i wanted to kill myself for a new run

[meager barn]

gun is a snorefest unless you get the special hammers early

in which case its kind of fun

[hazy panther]

The bombard move sucks imo

[meager barn]

it kind of does yea

[hazy panther]

I haven’t finished a run with the gun

[meager barn]

if you get the 5 bombs 30% damage its a monster

with artemis or zeus blessing it does insane aoe

[hazy panther]

It’s too slow for my taste though

[steel flicker]

@granite cove consider poseidon aspect on the sword. It has +30% cast damage when maxed out.

[granite cove]

@steel flicker thank you

[meager barn]

triple bomb, rocket bomb, targeting system and cluster bomb are all dope

hazard bomb would be hype if i were good at the game

[candid spindle]

shild is a good piece, if you get a plus damage for the charge and a faster charge you can do a lot of damage

[steel flicker]

@subtle cobalt You pick up the weapon and then click to "pick it up" again (same button) and it opens the aspect menu. However, to unlock this menu you have to have enough progress in the game. I don't remember the exact details.

[meager barn]

nope, aspects are available when all weapons are bought and you pick up 1 titan blood i think

4th aspect requires reaching the final boss but the other 3 dont

almost positive

[hazy panther]

Quick question

Does giving nectar to the Olympians do anything specifc, beyond giving you the boon?

[meager barn]

yes

at a certain point you gain an additional reward but its not super game changing

mostly just gives more dialogue and story elements

[merry moat]

I never get too far with the sword

[granite cove]

I have the most escapes with the sword

dont focus on the special

just attack/ dash-attack

[willow bone]

2 runs in a row with epic dash +3 ooo baby

[cinder lichen]

How does deflecting melee hits work again? I see it happens sometimes but I don't notice the damage, unless it's mixed in with a normal hit.

[fading gazelle]

It can be done extremely consistently if you have divine dash

I don't think it can be done with anything but the dash

If you dash in sync with the attack, it deflects the damage.

[cinder lichen]

No I mean, like,

do I straight up nullify the attack

or does it get dealt back at my foe, like projectiles?

[fading gazelle]

I think it does

I prominently see it on bosses

But a but strangely

For example ||Dad's spear thrust||

You can see the visual go behind him

But I'm already dealing damage to notice if the numbers are from deflect

[cinder lichen]

Ugh, I know!

[fading gazelle]

You could always test it for yourself!

Just dodge his attacks and deflect them

See if it does damage

Oh and make sure to not dash into him

Since the dash does do damage itself

[cinder lichen]

Blargh

[fading gazelle]

I could try for you?

[cinder lichen]

Dude the new aspect has some dummy backswing

[coral verge]

how do you farm for darkness? Equip the weapon with darkness bonus and just go Heat 0? I need like 3k+ darkness for ||Nyx upgrade|| 😦

[fading gazelle]

Yup

[cinder lichen]

I mean...you can if you really want to. I probably can?

[fading gazelle]

Make sure to get posiedon and chaos

They give increased reward drops

[cinder lichen]

Poseidon would be more likely to give that stuff

[fading gazelle]

And always check Charon wells for tinge of Erberus

[coral verge]

ah, forgot about those

[fading gazelle]

I'll go test out your concern Piorda

[fleet zephyr]

nice reoccuring gag I noticed
one of the random shades lists his cause of death was "beetle"
||In one of the random deaths on a victory, Zagreus is killed by a beetle||

[fading gazelle]

I'm bored af anyways

[cinder lichen]

Kk!

Snrk

Awesome

[fading gazelle]

I wonder if anyone has done a Hades Mythbusters

[cinder lichen]

I
I think I just defeated the Rat ||King|| without taking any damage

[fleet zephyr]

has someone compiled every Bond sticker?

[hidden drift]

does anyone else have the bug where they can never give hades even a single nectar? ive cleared the game over 10 times and still cannot give him even the first one.

[halcyon obsidian]

What do the themes do in the house contractor shop, I can't tell the difference

[coral timber]

Sooo, 1 million copies sold. Well done, Hades! Here's to 1 million more!

[coarse sierra]

Hey. I have a question. I play on switch and is there something wrong with reroll mechanic. I have 2 reroll items and I don't have option to change next reward in the room

[daring niche]

does support fire works with the crystal beam?

[merry moat]

imagine being beated by || your own dad ||

[halcyon obsidian]

@daring niche only as much as the initial fire

[daring niche]

huh

[merry moat]

as a grown man

that hurt

died instantly on the second stage

[daring niche]

dont worry about it ull make it next time

[cinder lichen]

Dude, Redacted really hurts. Until you beat em once, then it's somehow a breeze every other time.

That also carries over to the other phases. Every part!

[formal leaf]

I did it

[cinder lichen]

Ayyy

[tired dirge]

Ayyy

Dad's just cross he can't admit defeat

[formal leaf]

finally. 26th attempt.

[steel flicker]

@coarse sierra what kind of room?

[halcyon obsidian]

Does anyone know what the house contractor themes does

I can't notice a difference

[steel flicker]

Changes themes

On certain UI elements

[daring niche]

the Extreme Measures 4 tho

[tired dirge]

Pact of punishment will make it spicy

[coarse sierra]

@steel flicker ill show you in a minute

[halcyon obsidian]

What UI?

[daring niche]

?

[coarse sierra]

Have hudra to beat

[granite ether]

@daring niche ||Hades fight|| is spoilers here

[daring niche]

it is

[granite ether]

yes

[daring niche]

huh

[steel flicker]

@halcyon obsidian Boon menus, victory screen

[tired dirge]

Does anyone happen to have the picture of the old avatar of Ares from the very beginning before the chaos update (probably update before). I can't remember what he looked like and google is no help

[halcyon obsidian]

Maybe I got a bad one I didn't notice the difference 😕

[steel flicker]

@tired dirge ? https://64.media.tumblr.com/4cf7dd25702919c15451e3ae446b2cc2/033b9849291df7d0-5c/s400x600/28951b3d8235831c118bd65fed9aa51647894e54.png

[merry moat]

he got redesign? i want to see

wow he got much better late

[steel flicker]

it was a work in progress portrait

[tired dirge]

@steel flicker BLESS YOUR BIG HEART

Thank you!!

[daring niche]

how do i do the spoiler thingy

where i cover it with black

[merry moat]

I like that Ares is not angry as usually portrayed

[steel flicker]

place a text in between these || @daring niche

two from one side and two from the other

[daring niche]

thats an L?

nah

what is that xd

[steel flicker]

it's a stick

it's near a + on the keyboard

to the right

you get it with shift+\

[fading gazelle]

@fleet zephyr I'm about to get every sticker

[steel flicker]

(it's not called a stick)

[fading gazelle]

Also @cinder lichen it doesn't seem to work on Asterius

[raven silo]

On my (rather old) keyboard the symbol looks like : but with much taller dots iirc

[fading gazelle]

But I might juts timing it badly

[raven silo]

Its paired with backslash still though

[coarse sierra]

@steel flicker https://imgur.com/a/Lyqk1YB See. I have rolls but I can't alter the reward

[merry moat]

About redacted, i think ||You not fighting Cerberus is more of a spoiler than the Hades fight||

[fleet zephyr]

Are you sure you have the right one

[steel flicker]

@coarse sierra well that looks like a bug

[fleet zephyr]

Authority and not persuasion

[coarse sierra]

Where should I report it?

[steel flicker]

Press F10 in the game

[rain patrol]

hey guys i have finally killed hades,what should i do now?

[coarse sierra]

I have switch version LUL

[steel flicker]

Oh

[granite ether]

#h1-tech-support (be sure to specify you're playing the switch version)

[steel flicker]

@coarse sierra Are you sure you're not using the mirror talent that rerolls the boon choices instead of rooms though?

[drifting thicket]

how do i give skully nectar. prompt isnt showing up

[steel flicker]

if not then afaik you should be able to always reroll coin rooms

so it is a bug probably

[coarse sierra]

@steel flicker I tried with both boons and not boons rooms. None of them are working

Also one of those rolls is from key room

So it should work either way

[granite ether]

can you press the minus sign and take a photo of your switch screen for me please? @coarse sierra

I just wanna confirm something

[halcyon obsidian]

How do you guys employ moderators ?

[coarse sierra]

@granite ether Sure, there you go

https://imgur.com/a/D58saBU

[halcyon obsidian]

I haven't been in official Game servers so it's interesting

[coarse sierra]

But I couldn't alter boons either

When I find one or well I can give another screen

[granite ether]

so that allows you to re-roll the boon itself, not the room reward

[cinder lichen]

Wait, Volty, just Asterius, or does it not actually reflect melee damage?

[fading gazelle]

@cinder lichen Can confirm it doesn't reflect the damage

[granite ether]

or a pom/well of charon/purging pool

[cinder lichen]

Boo

[granite ether]

Fated Authority (the purple die) allows you to reroll room rewards

[coarse sierra]

Give me a minute, I'll find well or boon and we can see if it works

[halcyon obsidian]

@fading gazelle it does with some attacks, ||father spear and asterius swipe can be deflected 100%||

[fading gazelle]

Their melee attacks do get deflected but don't return the damage

I just checked it

[halcyon obsidian]

Yeah but it does stop you from taking it

[fading gazelle]

Yeah I knew that

[halcyon obsidian]

It's a longer invincibility frame

[fading gazelle]

I was checking if it gave damage back

It doesn't sadly =/

[coarse sierra]

Okay it works @granite ether

My bad

I was playing early access and must've go with the purple one

And I thought that's how it work

[granite ether]

all good, glad to know it's not a bug

[dusk mantle]

Does Poison count as a trap ?

[steel flicker]

if only

[dusk mantle]

damn, okay

But those huge blades that fall from the ceiling those would count right?

[raven silo]

I've seen those trap kill yeah

They do a lot of damage too iirc

[dusk mantle]

ok

[granite ether]

no, poison counting as a trap would be awful

because ||heightened security||

[steel flicker]

afaik ||green poison from styx|| can't damage enemies so it wouldn't make much of a difference if poison was a trap

[raven silo]

I have deflected it back to a ||satyr|| once and it got poisoned

[granite ether]

if you deflect it from ||saytrs it can||

[steel flicker]

oh

does it stack?

[granite ether]

yes

[steel flicker]

oh

[granite ether]

also I don't want ||40 damage ticks from poison thankyou when using heightened security||

[raven silo]

Poison is already really high damage to you if you dont cure it fast

[granite ether]

||Heightened security also explicitly calls out asphodel magma||

[daring niche]

||name is jeff||

[raven silo]

Magma isnt a trap it says magma kill instead

Also not reduced by the athena boon, presumably

[steel flicker]

I wish all asphodel magma rooms were ||with purple tint like hydra room on EM2||

that would be a much more distinct look. Don't remember magma of that color in any media.

[raven silo]

Luncheon kingdom in odyssey has pink lava does that count

[granite ether]

hey you should put that as feedback in #hades-feedback

cuz I think that sounds pretty neat @steel flicker

[real narwhal]

i feel like asphodel is the hardest area to visually read whats happening

[fading gazelle]

I find Elysium hard because so many things are light blue/cyan/green

But that's just mostly because I'm color blind

[smoky wharf]

Ouch that does sound like it would be hard to deal with

Hopefully a kind of colorblind mode gets added (if there isn't one already)

[fading gazelle]

I do hope so

[hollow mulch]

omg i love this game

[fading gazelle]

I agree

I love this game too

[hollow mulch]

its as if Super Giant just made this game specifically for me

i've been waiting a rogue like game like to come out since ive heard of what a rogue like was

[smoky wharf]

Posiedon or artemis?

[fading gazelle]

ahem

[smoky wharf]

Fair

[hollow mulch]

ive just done two 48 hour play thrus of this game twice in a row

[fading gazelle]

[smoky wharf]

She is best girl after all

[halcyon obsidian]

Arte all the way

[fading gazelle]

Good

[steel flicker]

@granite ether I don't think they'll do any more significant changes like this to the game after 1.0

Like they did enough visual tweaks in 1.0 with particles flying all around, a ton of shaders and light shenanigans for it to feel complete. It's hard to expect them to go further than that.

[granite ether]

I mean, it's still worth posting there

[smoky wharf]

Oh no

Artemis and Athena just gave me an extra 20% critical chance when i deflect

but i have delfect on attack, special, and dash

[granite ether]

we don't know what supergiant has planned after their well deserved break

[smoky wharf]

Carnage time

[fading gazelle]

Nyes

Kill them all

[smoky wharf]

Gladly

[steel flicker]

They even did something to the portraits where they somehow look cleaner than before 1.0.

[halcyon obsidian]

Run them through

[smoky wharf]

oof i wasted my artemis call bc funny bone hydra summoned his pals

[fading gazelle]

Oof

Sad

Get your revenge

[smoky wharf]

He has been slain

[steel flicker]

we don't know what supergiant has planned after their well deserved break
@granite ether sure hope it's not anything related to hades at this point

[fading gazelle]

Good

[flat vapor]

Magma isnt a trap it says magma kill instead
Also not reduced by the athena boon, presumably
magma is most definitely a trap, as its damage is increased by trap +% effects and is affected by sure footing

specifically, sure footing lets you walk on magma for a little while before you start taking damage

[fading gazelle]

Isn't that just normal?

That you won't take damage by walking on magma instantly?

Or does sure footing extend that time?

[flat vapor]

yes to all

[fading gazelle]

Ahh

thanks

[smoky wharf]

Oh no artemis W H Y

she hit theseus instead of asterius

theseus has summoned zeus and i haven't killed asterius

send help please

[fading gazelle]

Take all my luck

Good and Bad

[smoky wharf]

i lost the rest of death defiances

guess its time to pull out the good ol lucky tooth

[subtle cobalt]

What is the best aspect for stygian blade?

[stuck condor]

Having trouble with || hades || I got to attack and somehow get hit with || boiling || something yet there was no animation or wave animation

[raven silo]

I like the 4th aspect but I havent tried the others to get a good idea of how good they are

[dusk mantle]

Aphrodite boons are the worst. Weak is not that good. They should probably buff her boons next patch.

[raven silo]

Her boon give the highest damage bonus

[fading gazelle]

Oh boy

[dusk mantle]

Which ones?

[fading gazelle]

Aphro is undoubtedly one of the best olympians in the game

All of them

She gives the highest damage bonus out of the gods

[raven silo]

The ones for Attack and special

[lean plaza]

Weak isn't the main appeal of Aphro boons

[raven silo]

And max charge call is a lot of damage

Also can be used to interrupt attacks from bosses

[dusk mantle]

Hm, guess i didn't pay much attention to the damage boost sections. Will try hers next.

[fading gazelle]

Her duos are also extremely good

(Except the one with Demeter)

[lean plaza]

When Theseus is doing his ||god call or whatever|| and you use Aphro call, how does that play out?

[fading gazelle]

poof

[lean plaza]

o sick

[raven silo]

He still gets the call effect if that's what you mean, I think

[smoky wharf]

God i hate rats

[raven silo]

Havent fought him with aphro enough to try

Rats be like is a rat

[lean plaza]

armored rats are the worst

[smoky wharf]

they really are and im having to deal with them rn

[raven silo]

I really hate serpent stones

And satyrs

[fading gazelle]

Sounds like you just hate Styx

[raven silo]

You're not wrong

[smoky wharf]

styx isn't that bad of a place with the right setup

[lean plaza]

Styx is actually one of my fav areas because of the abundance of gold pots

[smoky wharf]

but sometimes the poison can just be unavoidable and the damn armored large rats pack a punch

i do like those gold pots tho your right about that

[fallen violet]

Ima level with you

[raven silo]

I'm mostly fine with big rats tbh

[fallen violet]

I get hit by traps like

4 times a run

[raven silo]

They're kinda easy

[fallen violet]

but 400% damage scares me

no thank

[lean plaza]

Rats are easy to deal with but are tanky as hell

And if they're armored they spit out so much poison pools

[fallen violet]

Rats are tanky depending on build

tbh

[subtle cobalt]

Should i invest in poseidon or nemesis aspect for stygian blade?

[smoky wharf]

Its all fun and games having +400% trap damage until you walk into the ||hades boss fight and get one shot by his phase 2 traps||

[fallen violet]

if you have high damage you delete them

WAIT

THOSE COUNT AS TRAPS

??

[raven silo]

Wait redacted spawns traps?

[fading gazelle]

Yes

[smoky wharf]

Yes they do count as traps

[fading gazelle]

The ||pots||

[fallen violet]

never turning Tight security on

Never

[raven silo]

Oh the pots

[fallen violet]

Not happening

I'd rather take TD3

[raven silo]

Thought you meant the fire skull things

[smoky wharf]

i learnt that the hard way as i had a god sword run and got insta k.o.ed when i ran out of death defiances

[fallen violet]

I usually break ||pots||

Wait

So they dont cause issues later

[lean plaza]

Is there no 1 shot protection in Hades when you're at full hp?

[fallen violet]

Dont think so nic

[smoky wharf]

I broke one of the ||hades pots|| thinking, oh i guess im fine but then got k.o.ed

[fallen violet]

You can die instantly

[lean plaza]

Oof, rough

[fallen violet]

Spear prevents that

so does acorn

[smoky wharf]

also tthey don't insta kill they do 150 damage if you have +400% trap damage

[fallen violet]

KEK

150

CASUAL

What does DR cap at?

Like

[smoky wharf]

bruh i had like 88 max health that run due to using the cursed sword from hammer

[fallen violet]

80%?

[raven silo]

Is it bad that I assumed acorn was bad bc I didnt think about how it would be at max level

[fallen violet]

No

[raven silo]

How many hits is it at max level anyway

[fading gazelle]

Yes

[fallen violet]

5

5 hits

super good

[fading gazelle]

You are bad for thinking that

Acorn is amaizng

[smoky wharf]

what does acrorn do again?

[fallen violet]

Negate 5 hits from the boss

[fair dove]

Negates first 5 boss damage

[smoky wharf]

oh

[raven silo]

Blocks the first n hits from boss

[fallen violet]

here is the problem

[smoky wharf]

yeah that could be very good

[fallen violet]

multi hit attacks

[smoky wharf]

oof

[fallen violet]

can instantly use all 5

happened to me yesterday

Theseus did EM3 and bam

it went

[smoky wharf]

alright im bout to go say hi to redacted with only 1 death defiance left, wish me luck ladies and gentlemen

[fallen violet]

acorn?

[smoky wharf]

nope

[fallen violet]

Dead

GG

kek

u got it

[fading gazelle]

Nah you still got a chance

I whoop Redacted with stubborn

[fallen violet]

Depends on ||skull rng||

If he spawns a bunch you cant dodge all the ||shockwaves||

[smoky wharf]

i chose the lucky tooth bc otherwise i would have no death defiances because artemis betrayed me in the thesius and astrius fight

[fading gazelle]

You mean skill rng

[raven silo]

I use stubborn but I think it might be time to switch to regular defiances

[fallen violet]

Volty

Be quiet

[fading gazelle]

Hey man, I spit facts

[fallen violet]

That fight can be rng if it wants to be

[fading gazelle]

The only rng that bothers me is how frequently he disappears

[fallen violet]

oh yeah

[smoky wharf]

true

[fading gazelle]

ruins my speedruns

[fallen violet]

How about ||super armored greatbows||

fun times

[fading gazelle]

Pff

Easy

[smoky wharf]

its very fun when you activate a call and redacted just dips or goes invulnerable

[fallen violet]

actually true tbh

||First phase harder than second, change my mind||

[smoky wharf]

I actually agree

[fallen violet]

The enemies are a big distraction

[smoky wharf]

very

[fallen violet]

Second phase is just skill

speaking of skill

[hollow mulch]

2nd phase just does a lot of dmg

[fallen violet]

my favorite aspect is the antithesis of thiat

[hollow mulch]

if you calm down and just dodge his moves 2nd phase is easier

[fallen violet]

||Excal is braindead and super fun||

[smoky wharf]

bruh i just started the fight and redacted dipped

[fallen violet]

Depends on how you're playing

||If he spawns like 5 skulls and you're in a bad spot, you're taking minumum 40 damage||

Gotta be in the right place right time

[fading gazelle]

Yeah he dips a lot

[fallen violet]

Bruh

He left

[fading gazelle]

It bothers me that he starts with that

[fallen violet]

Like my dad

kek

I had 6k damage ares call

on him

that was fun

[fading gazelle]

He's all like ||Come face me" and then he's just "Okay bye"||

[smoky wharf]

pog im starting phase 2 with artemis call

[fallen violet]

DELETE HIM

FROM THE GAME

Ima level my demeter keepsake

I feel like artemis demeter could be really good on fists

[smoky wharf]

hes been deleted

[fallen violet]

Nice

pog

[smoky wharf]

2nd phase in about a minute damn

[fading gazelle]

Nice

[smoky wharf]

man did not get to play the game

[lean path]

My Artemis call always deals no damage cause I my dumb ass always fires it when the boss is immune

[fading gazelle]

Did you pb?

[smoky wharf]

idk

[fading gazelle]

Lets find out

[fallen violet]

I fired my entire artemis call into invuln on Asterius

So mad

[smoky wharf]

Can confirm, i did not pb

[fallen violet]

kek

[subtle cobalt]

This game is fun

[smoky wharf]

fastest run has been about 24:49.08, this run was 29:48.01

This game is very fun

[subtle cobalt]

The voice acting is great

[smoky wharf]

I agree wholeheartedly

[fallen violet]

WHAT IS THIS

[smoky wharf]

?

[fallen violet]

"Next boon you find will be from demeter"

Got athena

????????????????????????

[smoky wharf]

????????

HOW

[fallen violet]

I HAVE NO IDEA

[hollow mulch]

that happens to me if the next boon had a story element to it

[smoky wharf]

Im not gonna lie tho, demeter + artemis is a good duo if your using the demeter cast

[knotty pier]

Anyone else have long stretches without seeing a god. I have had 10 games in a row where I have not seen athena once

[fallen violet]

Nah bruh think about it this way

[coral moth]

Anything + Artemis is good if you're casting

[fallen violet]

No for regular fists

thing

think*

si

FRICK

Cant type rn

Ok so if you have aspect of demeter

which is a multihit special

And you can get artemis

Good damage and crits

So if you get demeter on basic attack, the enemies are chilled and you can charge your cutter for free

and they cant do anything

[smoky wharf]

Bruh how many runs i gotta do b4 i can ||fix these damn family issues||

[fallen violet]

Lots of runs actually

[smoky wharf]

damn

i've currently had about 10 successful runs now

[lean plaza]

It took me about ||25 in game hours||

[smoky wharf]

damn tried to talk to dusa and she just immediately said nah and disappears

Should i take a heart, money, or reroll?

[fallen violet]

Money

[smoky wharf]

i already rerolled for a pom

[fallen violet]

kek

[brisk trail]

there have been update

for the game

[burnt lantern]

Hello guys

I sold a duo boon for 440

I didn't get any money

Wth happened?

Oh wait

I have chaos boon

FRICK

MY DUO BOON I LOST IT FOR 0 MUNI

[granite ether]

yeah, that's a mistake you only make once

[oak spear]

Ooooooof rip

[granite ether]

oof

[brisk trail]

there have been updates

guys

?

[granite ether]

probably hot fixes/tech fixes

[brisk trail]

so small updates

?

[granite ether]

yeah, supergiant are working to fix any and all (that get reported anyways) bugs/crashes etc since 1.0 launched

[deft remnant]

"im free to do as i may" oxymoron?

[keen zinc]

Just came here to say this is an incredible game. One of the best I've ever played. Not sure if this is the right channel for that.

[fallen violet]

no you're right

its a 10/10 game

It could be 11/10

if we had more fishing content

Ahem

[upper basin]

only way i see this game being any better is if u could fight the olympians

[maiden copper]

I honestly thought we were gonna have to fight zeus

[smoky spoke]

Would that be a second game?!

Hades battles into Olympics

That just becomes God of War

[granite ether]

Nah hades 2 will be the fishing minigame but it's fleshed out as a full game

[merry moat]

Hades 2 could be against Typhon or the Titans

[potent seal]

yes, should be a rogue-lite fishing game, with some combat in between

[raven silo]

No just a fishing game, zag takes a vacation with posiedon

[smoky spoke]

Fighting fishes now?

The "cool" uncle

I actually would like to see Zag and dinoysis on vacation

That guy has some funny tone

[flat vapor]

hades 2 is just going full into dating sim

[raven silo]

Zagreus touring the mortal world with various gods would be a fun series

[ripe lantern]

hades 2???

i hope its gonna be good

im still playing hades

[autumn maple]

if they do that they have to make aphrodite look like this https://i.redd.it/i5e2a99wh9p51.jpg

[ripe lantern]

well i cant play right now

i broked my pc

for playing hades

gonna buy new one

[still sand]

Made it to the final boss. Got wrecked.

[ripe lantern]

rip

i was at

||third boss||

||bull one||

[burnt lantern]

Hey guys

What do Administrative Privilege do?

[raven silo]

Lets you reroll the thing inside the ball of a door, changing what the next room reward will be

Er wait

No that's the wrong thing

[burnt lantern]

Not that's Fated Authority

[potent seal]

its story progression

[opaque bough]

What do Administrative Privilege do?
the one for 2 gems?

[burnt lantern]

Yes

[opaque bough]

story progression yes

[raven silo]

Oh wait that thing yeah

Also let's you view some stats

[formal leaf]

Is there any condition there too?
Like. A key room can only roll into other "resource" type rooms
And God rooms to other God rooms
Or does anything roll to anything?

[opaque bough]

and it lets you look at run history finally

[burnt lantern]

Epic

[raven silo]

Ik shops can't be rerolled not sure what else

[burnt lantern]

Should I try to buy music or use my 2 gems for the privilege?

I want From Olympus

[formal leaf]

Privilege

I like numbers.

They keep track of almost everything, I love it

[raven silo]

I think saving diamond is better than buying music,theres a bunch of upgrades that use diamonds

[burnt lantern]

Oh really?

Like...?

[raven silo]

Uhhh

[coral verge]

you need diamonds to unlock more important stuff later on

[lean plaza]

Like almost everything late-game

[coral verge]

music is the last thing

[burnt lantern]

Probs hidden aspects

[lean plaza]

Gemstones are for almost only cosmetics later on

And upgrades use diamonds

[raven silo]

||Bosses drop gems, gems give obol, darkness gives max hp, a few others||

[burnt lantern]

Anyway I'll get the Privilege

[merry moat]

Can we still progress side stories like Orpheus after we beat the game?

[coral verge]

yes

[merry moat]

Cool

[raven silo]

Edit hades in there and make t say losing

[cinder lichen]

Heh. I think “winning” is better on par with Hades’ sarcastic remarks

[raven silo]

Yeah I guess winning works too

[burnt lantern]

Guys which is better

The mirror upgrade for epic boons or its ||legend/duo|| alternative

[lean plaza]

I use the ||Epic boons|| one

[raven silo]

I also use that one, but the alternative looks pretty good too

[jade crescent]

I've been using the legend/duo one for finishing prophecies

[burnt lantern]

@jade crescent did you notice a difference?

[maiden copper]

I use the legend/duo when I want a specific build, which is most runs lol

[raven silo]

Epic boons make for a better early game, but getting more legends & duos sounds like it would be good

[jade crescent]

I've been getting at least one every run

[burnt lantern]

Hm okay

[coral verge]

how much % does the legendary max out at

[jade crescent]

a recent run I got 3 duos 👀

[coral verge]

it's so expensive 😢

[jade crescent]

that perk maxed says 10%

[raven silo]

Epic one maxes at 20%

[jade crescent]

but I assume that's on top of the base chance, which I don't know

[still sand]

I got a duo once and it took me the farthest I had been up to that point. Aint seen another duo since.

[raven silo]

Note that you can get heroic rank stuff too, but I'm not sure that chances of that

I've seen it with the passive that ups rarity of boons, but I can't recall if I've seen heroic rank boons otherwise

[jade crescent]

I believe for heroic you need a 4+ epic then swap the boon with another

or upgrade with demeter boon or eurydice

[thick ledge]

i have not seen a heroic in the wild

outside of upgrading

[maiden copper]

Heroics don't spawn normally outside of upgrading/exchanging

[agile sedge]

(hidden inside you)
is that the game telling me if i git gud enough i dont have to upgrade those thing?

[burnt lantern]

What does the Fated Authority mirror upgrade do? Does it give me uses by default when I start a run?

[flat vapor]

yes

it lets you go up to a reward door and change it

[raven silo]

Fated authority has limited charges per run and let's you reroll the icon in door orbs

[flat vapor]

gold laurel doors only reroll to other gold laurels, and same with blue laurels

[raven silo]

Shops can't be rerolled

[flat vapor]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/520688402958516254/660997121406926849/hades_room_rewards_guide.png

it's old but the general principle applies

[queen frigate]

Begs the question of boon rarity vs gold laurel chance.

[thick ledge]

i was wondering

for Elite rooms

i notice you get 200 gold, 2 upgrades with pom of powers

when its a boon

does it increase the rarity?

i.e gurantee rare or above?

[flat vapor]

yes

[thick ledge]

im guessing centaur heart gives 50 hp too right?

tho i've actually never gotten centaur heart with elite

[sand stump]

In the codex, my Hipno is still a lock

is he have extra story?

[thick ledge]

haven't done hypno's yet, but if its locked it implies there is

might be tied to another character close to him, sometimes doing certain things with contracters will trigger it to open too

[merry moat]

Sometimes i don't know if I'm playing to farm or to beat the game

[queen frigate]

@thick ledge yes, heart is 50

[merry moat]

When i decide to farm I always get my favorite buffs and i can't resist

[hollow mulch]

@merry moat in a roguelike they're two and the same

[queen frigate]

Yeah, resource runs always turn into escapes.

[still sand]

I like that you can actively do both in this game. In Gungeon there's not really grinding since most of the big unlocks revolve around finishing the game multiple times.

[hollow mulch]

the "final boss" of a game that never ends is when you put the controller down for the last time

[merry moat]

That's the first rogue like i ever played i think

Unless I count some Nitrome flashgames

[queen frigate]

@still sand In a world of strife...

[merry moat]

God i miss flash games

[terse geyser]

wait, can you even get boons in elite rooms?
In the 628.7 hours I've played I've never seen that

[queen frigate]

Yes

[terse geyser]

not counting trials of the gods, that is

[queen frigate]

You can absolutely get boons from other elite rooms.

They glow pretty clearly.

[terse geyser]

Because it sounds like miniboss chambers in the final area are what are being talked about here, not elite chambers

[queen frigate]

I am not talking about the mini boss chambers in the final area.

Although those have increased rarity as well

[tepid kelp]

Hi I found out you could switch skills from purple to green in the mirror, and then after death my game crashed(nintendo switch) Cant load the save file. it just crashes, should i start a new save file and wait for a patch?

[queen frigate]

They are aware of that bug and a patch is in the works @tepid kelp

[tepid kelp]

okay! having a blast with the game not gone past the hydra but almost unlocked all the mirror skills just wanna keep on playing. died alot on the spikes and first boss in the begining

[queen frigate]

Glad you’re enjoying it! For future reference, it seems that bug happens when you change mirror skills and don’t put any darkness into them.

[tepid kelp]

ye did some reddit searching, its a bummer owell

[pale steeple]

What’s the bug?

I’ve spent a key on the mirror but immediately put it all into different buffs

[smoky wharf]

Why do the 4th aspects of weapons take forever to get

[tepid kelp]

corruption of save data when you dont spend point on mirror? game crashes on death and then when you boot up again it crashes again

[smoky wharf]

i want to get them so i can see what they're all about ||but goddamn achilles will not talk||

[tepid kelp]

what do you do with the boss heart the first boss drops?

[smoky wharf]

do you mean titans blood?

[tepid kelp]

yes¨¨

[queen frigate]

@smoky wharf if you’re consistently escaping, it probably won’t happen until you’ve seen the credits. Plot dialogue has priority.

[smoky wharf]

for that you need to unlock everyone weapon then soon after skelly will talk to you about it

oh that explains it, thanks flyinx

perhaps i should just head out and die a few runs and see if ||achilles will finally talk||

[queen frigate]

You can certainly try that if you’re eager.

[smoky wharf]

i mean im also eager to reach true ending as i have been escaping consistently, but i'd like to at least start to be able to get the 4th aspects to appear

[lean plaza]

Just play the game and talk to everyone you can

If you see a special room, make sure to take it too to progress their story

[queen frigate]

I didn’t get the first hidden aspect until after the credits.

[queen marsh]

guys, is there a reason why fated persuation doesnt work on daedalus?

[lean plaza]

Same, Flyinx

[narrow hemlock]

yes devs didn't want players to have complete control over their entire build and felt it would be a negative to player experience in that people would always re roll for the same things in their builds @queen marsh

[granite cove]

If a boon increase attack damage does it also include stuff like doom dmg on attack?

[queen frigate]

No

[queen marsh]

thanks @narrow hemlock

[queen frigate]

The mechanics for doom and hangover etc are determined by their boons

[granite cove]

So for a doom build dmg buffs are useless

[narrow hemlock]

@queen marsh just went looking for it, here's the explanation https://steamcommunity.com/app/1145360/discussions/0/3969311271670813573/#c2789369598118446756

[flat vapor]

doom is a separate source of damage, so an attack damage increase would not affect doom

only global damage increases and damage increase specific to doom would apply

[terse geyser]

if I could reroll hammers I would always have serrated point

which is optimal as far as builds go, but eventually would get boring

[queen marsh]

yeah i understand the devs point, although i disagree with it...i feel like if you're at the point in the game where you already farmed darkness enough to have fated persuation at a high level you already experienced the game enough to make a conscious decision

plus makes speed running it a lot harder

[lean plaza]

seeded speedruns are a thing tho

[queen marsh]

yeah i guess

[narrow hemlock]

that's a funny sentiment bc I've seen hades speed runners do some wacky things :P

[terse geyser]

plus makes speed running it a lot harder
definitely not
the whole point is that you can get ridiculous stuff in your build and just change your plan a little so you can still effectively Go Fast™️

[queen marsh]

my point is more about going like "i want to try this next" and sometimes you're simply denied xD

[queen frigate]

I don’t run FP because I feel like I start chasing the same boons over and over.

[terse geyser]

you can make supposedly "bad" boons work super well

[rough token]

What's an example of a bad boon?

[flat vapor]

freezing vortex

[bitter valve]

Backstab cast duo?

[flat vapor]

parting shot is fine

[rough token]

Freezing Vortex + any other blade Rift boons is powerful xD

[queen frigate]

I struggle to make the backstab cast feel good to use

[rough token]

Also give it the "explode on 10 chill" for extra effect

[bitter valve]

Aphro cast is also pretty lackluster

[agile sedge]

is there an option to make hades not pausing when alt tab?

[rough token]

The backstab cast is tricky, because it requires more of a cohesive build. I recommend Artemis or Poseidon cast for it, probably

@agile sedge yes, just a moment

[queen marsh]

i guess its always about preference but i really dislike every single aphrodite boon

except maybe the call

[lean plaza]

They do so much damage tho

[queen frigate]

Aphro is crazy good

Aphro/Demeter scaling with pressure points is like a guaranteed escape.

[bitter valve]

Aphrodite has really good boons besides her cast

[queen frigate]

Her cast is great with Poseidon/Hera

[bitter valve]

The ratios are pretty up there

[flat vapor]

i did have an idea of using aphrodite/athena/demeter as a build core with hera. using cold embrace with parting shot and placing it behind an enemy's back

[queen frigate]

Actually just Hera

[rough token]

@agile sedge you want to set the launch option /RequireFocusToUpdate=false. Instructions on setting launch options are in #h1-tech-fixes if you need

[bitter valve]

I wouldn’t say great with hera

[real cape]

I have Yarn of Ariadne, Refreshing Nectar, Exclusive Access, and I'm about to open a boon from skull room. Can someone tell me what to expect?

[bitter valve]

More like it makes up for the lackluster range

[rough token]

@real cape an epic boon

[flat vapor]

an epic boon

[coral verge]

Epic is the max you can go unless it's an exchange

[rough token]

Maybe a duo/legendary if you meet the reqs

[flat vapor]

with extra chance of getting a legendary/duo if you have the prereqs

[real cape]

That is disappointing

[rough token]

Also yarn and nectar don't stack

[real cape]

So if you get one, stay away from the other?

[rough token]

No, they still stack for a number of uses

[real cape]

Ah, that's a relief

[flat vapor]

you'd have 4 uses of rarity bonus

[lean plaza]

How often do you guys take support fire? I take it whenever I see it, I think it's super good

[queen frigate]

On a fast weapon, always.

[flat vapor]

i take it on very fast weapons, not much else

[real cape]

Got a duo, no legendary

[narrow hemlock]

depends on the build, like most boons

[bitter valve]

Almost always

[paper light]

only when I have a fast weapon like the fists. otherwise it isn't very good

[real cape]

But I probably didn't qualify, (can't remember what I need for poseidon)

[wild lark]

DID IT!

it's a shame you can't screenshot. i got so lucky

[rough token]

@wild lark if you just won, #h1-victory-boasting

Otherwise, you could share an imgur link in another appropriate channel

[wild lark]

ok appreciate it. first win so i joined the discord to find out more about the game

w/o too many spoilers. i'll look there. thanks!

[rough token]

No worries!

Welcome!

[wild lark]

20 runs. ffs i still suck at this game its gonna be another 10 before i do it again haha

[rough token]

Hahaha, don't stress it

[slow snow]

Are there mods for hades yet

[terse geyser]

Are there mods for hades yet
yes

[ocean kayak]

yo who knows how to get the last aspect for the twin fists?

i just thought they hadn't implemented it yet.

[slow snow]

where would I find them

[patent epoch]

How does Curse of Longing work?

[potent carbon]

help

I can't attack or dash

[jade crescent]

my (noob) friend bugged the game somehow and got 600 nectar 👀

how many do you need to max all the characters?

[terse geyser]

not 600

y'all have the nectar you need I guess....

[sleek solar]

I have a question too: once you used the tooth of resurrection once, you can take out that accessory between zones, put another one and still receive the bonus it gives?

[rough token]

Yes

[jade crescent]

yeah, you can get the buff from any keepsake other than that

[rough token]

Each keepsake is separate

[sleek solar]

oh, cool

thanks

[patent epoch]

Elysium is so hard with the shield

[dusk mantle]

Shield is the easiest weapon

To beat the game

[jade crescent]

^

shield is immune to everything except AOEs

[dusk mantle]

Yep

[jade crescent]

you can survive redacted lasers and flamewheels and boss spins easily

[dusk mantle]

Add deflect boons and you're set

[jade crescent]

plus you get toooooons of damage with the 4th aspect

[dusk mantle]

Witches in aspodel get melted with deflect and dash strikes lol

With shield. So good

I think spear is probably second easiest.

At least for me

Shield and spear are easiest to clear

[frigid scarab]

I have 2 questions

1. How the heck does anyone get past the final area without tearing their hair out

2. Why do the small chariots sound like cats?

[jade crescent]

stunlock the hell out of the satyrs

[frigid scarab]

I try

[terse geyser]

1st - tearing hair out isn't worth the discomfort for most people, no matter how hard the area is

[frigid scarab]

But then I'm getting sniped by laser rocks

[terse geyser]

2nd - why not?

[frigid scarab]

Cause it's very confusing and distracting as I own cats

[jade crescent]

the laser rocks can mostly just be nuked right off the bat

[candid spindle]

i dont tink that area 4 is that bad

[still sand]

Hold up, So I can just equip the tooth once and change it on the next chamber and I'll still get to use its revive?

[jade crescent]

nope

[still sand]

So it still has to proc then?

[jade crescent]

if you've got the tooth, you have a bonus revive, but if you swap the item, then that bonus is gone

[still sand]

and the last question. Which procs first, the tooth or the death's defiance

[opaque heron]

death's defiance

[still sand]

word

[opaque heron]

tooth is always last iirc

[jade crescent]

I thought the tooth's defiance does?

[opaque heron]

even if you add other defiances ala Anthena/Chaos, as far as I know, that tooth is always last

@jade crescent they absolutely can't, in my experience [I've had 3 of them in a room before, and couldn't hit more than 1 at a time...]

[jade crescent]

they're pretty squishy? you can just keep slamming them into a wall

unless they are shielded, but I think it's only the big purple one

[wind wedge]

I don't know how much damage you're doing by zone 4, but if you have 3 of them at once, you can't take them all down fast enough to avoid being damaged by at least 2 of them.

[ocean kayak]

nothing feels quite so good as getting two legendaries one after the other

[wind wedge]

(Poison is more annoying than them, though, definitely)

[rough token]

@wind wedge the trick for them, especially in zone 4, is to use the terrain to your advantage--focus down one of them while blocking the others with walls

[quick marlin]

I’m starting to feel getting the right duos feels stronger than legendaries

[rough token]

just get both

seriously, having more Duos/Legendaries than you can show on screen at a single time feels like Olympus in Hades :P

[quick marlin]

Also i asked this before, does anyone know of any those Shade guys art or some kind? They’re adorable and would make a great pfp

[simple zephyr]

lol I just hit redacted for 6K in 1 shot

[rough token]

@low sleet pardon the ping, but do you know? (about art of shades)

[quick marlin]

Well if there are, feel free to ping or dm me. Thanks a bunch!

[west jacinth]

Re: Shade art, I'd like to know too! Specifically anything around the Wretched Broker.

(I'm a Switch player, so it's a little harder for me to get them outside of screenshots)

[low sleet]

@rough token Heyo! What'd you all want to know about the shades?

[rough token]

They were wondering about getting art of the shades, I'm guessing outside of just screenshots from in-game

[patent epoch]

Are there more weapons in this game? Because I got all 6 bloods from the first boss

[rough token]

there are 6 weapons, yes

you'll || see something else though, once you have all 6 ||

[low sleet]

Ah, yeah! I'd like to eventually post up more of the weapons and enemy characters I got to work on online~

[maiden mulch]

there is a way to get significantly more than 6 blood though

[rough token]

yup

[patent epoch]

I do see the new thing

[rough token]

|| beat the final boss ||, Cloud

[patent epoch]

but they require a lot of blood

[maiden mulch]

i know what it is, i'm just saying it exists without spoilers

[rough token]

ah, aight

misread it as a question, mb

[patent epoch]

Alright

Also do I just spend my blood on a weapon?

[rough token]

yup

you can also trade it at the broker, but I don't recommend that

[patent epoch]

Looks like I need to beat final boss to progress from now

Oh

[rough token]

yup
