[quaint hatch]

Alright

Sry

[wary whale]

so, quick question; just unlocked all weapons, where can i spend titan blood to upgrade them?

[quaint hatch]

Yes

[wary whale]

as in, where should i go
or is it daedalus hammer?

[teal badger]

What do the hearts with the locks on them mean

[quaint hatch]

You can upgrade them in the courtyard

This means you have to fulfill a characters quest given through random dialogue to progress the relationship

[worldly flare]

keep talking to Skelly and he'll make a comment about your weapons acting weird

[novel spindle]

so, quick question; just unlocked all weapons, where can i spend titan blood to upgrade them?
@wary whale go to the weapons and hold the select button, in the list of weapon aspects next to each aspect you can upgrade

[quaint hatch]

After that you can give them ||Ambrosia||

[teal badger]

How do you go about accepting their quests

[quaint hatch]

You get them from random dialogue from them

[novel spindle]

What do the hearts with the locks on them mean
@teal badger means you have to fulfill a requirement, like a quest, to continue improving the relationship

[worldly flare]

Aside: Once I unlocked all the weapons and the mirror aspects, is there any use for keys except turning into the trader for Nectar?

[quaint hatch]

Usually you'll get a prophecy to show that you have the quest

Yes

It's a cosmetic use

[coral verge]

keep 15 keys for limited time exchange

[teal badger]

I've gotten prophecies before where do i go to access them

[quaint hatch]

You'll find it out if you get far enough

Next to your mirror there's a table

[novel spindle]

Aside: Once I unlocked all the weapons and the mirror aspects, is there any use for keys except turning into the trader for Nectar?
@worldly flare some contractor acquisition uses keys but imo more worth trading them

[wary whale]

you can trade keys at the wretched broker AFAIK

[worldly flare]

Well Ill keep an eye out then

[quaint hatch]

If you interact with it you should see your prophecies

[teal badger]

Thanks

[quaint hatch]

Np

[ionic hamlet]

They absolutely destroyed me

[novel spindle]

?

[ionic hamlet]

Some minotaur and a guy with a shield

[floral shore]

Those are the Heroes, also known as Theseus and Asterius or the Bull and the Dull.

Welcome to Elysium, my dude.

[quaint hatch]

They're a big barrier at the beginning

[worthy egret]

the bull and the dull

[quaint hatch]

Zing

[novel spindle]

Theseus is super annoying

[ionic hamlet]

I hid behind the pillars to stop his attacks\

[coral verge]

wdym, Theseus is clearly the protagonist of Hades

[ionic hamlet]

But it was annoying to have to do that while fighting the bull

[quaint hatch]

Defeat the minotaur first

[terse geyser]

@floral shore No. The champion is many things, but dull is not one of them.

You will see for yourself soon enough.

[novel spindle]

He is dull in the head

[floral shore]

Let's be real, Theseus is kind of a dunce.

[novel spindle]

Asterius instead is best bro

[worthy egret]

Welcome to Elysium! We have:

• CROSS THUNDER SPIN ATTACK
• MEOW
• NO MORE GREAT SHIELDS PLEASE
• 10 damage times 4 from offscreen
• [thomas the tank engine theme]

[novel spindle]

Meow?

[terse geyser]

Meow.

[worthy egret]

MEOW! explosion

[terse geyser]

The flamewheels meaow

[novel spindle]

Ahh

[terse geyser]

and explode

[wary whale]

TBH
i've so far only been able to reach elysium with that +2 health per attack daedalus thing
which is insanely OP just saying

[floral shore]

EXPLOOOOOOSIONS?!

[worthy egret]

They also rrrrr

[mortal wadi]

to get the 6th weapon, do i need to get the 5th one first?

[worthy egret]

I love them but i hate them

[terse geyser]

@mortal wadi yes

[quaint hatch]

Yup

[mortal wadi]

okay thanks

[novel spindle]

I found out how to get a green nick XD

[thorny apex]

||Meh, i finally got to the final boss, died twice to phase 2.|| Any tips? Im progressing really quickly, so i dont think im stuck per se, but when it takes so long to get to him, losing aint fun.

Im maining the spear atm, the spin aspect that gives extra damage

[novel spindle]

It took me many tries to first beat the final boss

You just gotta learn his movesets, or get lucky with the boons

[thorny apex]

First time i got the 70 damage duo thing, which was great

second time i didnt really have a big boon

Btw, any boons that are noob traps, or some boons that look bad but are actually great?

[opaque bough]

with enough practice his attack pattern is very predictable. Just don't rely on dashing through them unless you're really confident, just run away from the spinny slashes for instance

[void vigil]

@thorny apex ||second phase|| is a spoiler, please spoiler tag your message accordingly!

[quaint hatch]

Also don't get too greedy with dealing damage

[thorny apex]

How do you spoiler tag?

[void vigil]

||like this||

[quaint hatch]

|| ||

[terse geyser]

|| ||

[thorny apex]

Fixed i think

[terse geyser]

Pog

[void vigil]

thank you!

[novel spindle]

|| spoiler? ||

[thorny apex]

So, any clue on the boons thing?

[novel spindle]

I think almost all boons can be useful

[thorny apex]

I havent seen any streams, so far ive figured i should stack a small amount of gods and athena is op.

[novel spindle]

Mostly a matter of preference and playstyle

[thorny apex]

Not much above that

[novel spindle]

Maybe look at high heat strategies?

[thorny apex]

Is head like ascendacy?

heat*

[novel spindle]

Its pretty much newgame+

[thorny apex]

Figured

[novel spindle]

Makes things more difficult in order to get more rewards

[thorny apex]

Is there really a lot of strat building you can do? I mean most of the time youre offered only a single path, and seldom are you offered two boons

[novel spindle]

I think you eventually learn to adapt depending on what you recieve

You cant choose which gods you get

[terse geyser]

you can force a lot of your build

[novel spindle]

The mirror upgrade, the last one with the die of fate, is pretty usefuel for improving your chances of getting what you want

[thorny apex]

Using god trinkets? Are they good? Ive mostly been using collar and tooth

[brisk trail]

Btw what do Hangover and Weak do to the enemy?

[novel spindle]

Hangover is poison dot

[thorny apex]

hangover is like poison, weak makes damage smaller

[novel spindle]

Weak makes enemies do less damage

[brisk trail]

I see

[quaint hatch]

You can at least limit your boom pool to a certain extent

[thorny apex]

Weak seems very noob trappy, idk, unless you can apply it very consistently

[brisk trail]

Can I ask you all a honest question

[coral verge]

Weak has a very high damage multiplier

[thorny apex]

Also are specials good? i fing myself almost never using my spear special except to deal with a single non aggro enemy

[novel spindle]

Weak usually gives high base damage to compensate

[terse geyser]

weak is a very good debuff, and comes with the highest damage increase on attack and special in the game

[brisk trail]

This mostly is only for people who have been playing this before 1.0

[opaque bough]

Weak is good partly because its upgrades just give a ton of attack damage

so it's a safe pick

[ionic hamlet]

||So I just ran into a nymph? ||

[thorny apex]

Hmm, i guess i never went too deep

[brisk trail]

||did any of you guys get either really sad or happy when you finally were able to get out of the underworld and talk to mom||

[thorny apex]

On the tree

[opaque bough]

oh she's barely a spoiler right @ionic hamlet

[brisk trail]

^

[novel spindle]

||did any of you guys get either really sad or happy when you finally were able to get out of the underworld and talk to mom||
@brisk trail holy mackerel yes i got emotional

[thorny apex]

I havent seen a ||nymph|| yet

[brisk trail]

||did any of you guys get either really sad or happy when you finally were able to get out of the underworld and talk to mom||
@brisk trail Kind of sad

Absolutely

Also if any of you got the secret ending

I havent seen a ||nymph|| yet
@thorny apex ||Eurydice|| on Asphodel

Oh my god that was a bromance moment

Loved that

Also if any of you got the secret ending
@brisk trail Not yet, working on it, currently on 7th escape

[thorny apex]

Oh shes there? Never seen her and i freed the counterpart

[brisk trail]

Well wen I tell you this

It’s worth it

Absolutely

It’s great

Oh shes there? Never seen her and i freed the counterpart
@thorny apex Yep, I've met her quite a few times already. She gives lvl up to boons.

[thorny apex]

huh

[brisk trail]

I personally like the boon rarity up

[opaque bough]

I mean there's no harm to using their names, it's pretty early content

[brisk trail]

heroic booze cast

It’s worth it
@brisk trail I believe that. Will be goin after the true ending tomorrow. 😄

You got this

||dad really ramps it up for the 10th one||

[quaint hatch]

Most difficult yeah

[viral bane]

Just caught my first ||scyllascion and sturgeon|| both in the same run! FeelsVeryGoodMan

[brisk trail]

Also what do you guys think of the ||arthur sword aspect personally I just don’t think it’s that great||

[quaint hatch]

I like it

Big numbers

[brisk trail]

Btw does anyone think the song sang by ||Eurydice|| is beautifully sad? Wonder if we can get that on great hall's music list later

||its good but I just don’t see the hype||

[viral bane]

It's so damn stressful seeing the fishing node in the redacted fight

[coral verge]

4th sword is great, chunky damage

[quaint hatch]

What hype lul

[brisk trail]

Why people like it so much

[coral verge]

cause huge damage

[brisk trail]

It’s good but I like the one with crit

Also what do you guys think of the ||arthur sword aspect personally I just don’t think it’s that great||
@brisk trail How to unlock it? So far I only have ||Guan Yu|| for Eternal Spear

Invest titans blood

[rigid oriole]

When is Supergiant Games going to come out with the Artemis merch? 😠

[viral bane]

||after you unlock guan yu, spend at least 5 titan blood in the other weapon to get their hidden aspect||

[zinc shore]

What's the general consensus on triple shot for the bow?

[brisk trail]

It’s good but I like the one with crit
@brisk trail You meant the second aspect?

Yea

[zinc shore]

I kind of hate the three arrow spread

[novel spindle]

Also what do you guys think of the ||arthur sword aspect personally I just don’t think it’s that great||
@brisk trail i love it

[brisk trail]

||after you unlock guan yu, spend at least 5 titan blood in the other weapon to get their hidden aspect||
@viral bane Alrighty! Thanks

Honestly I’m a weirdo

So take my stuff with a grain of salt

[novel spindle]

It's so damn stressful seeing the fishing node in the redacted fight
@viral bane i never got a fishing node there

[brisk trail]

Also it’s probably that I hate sword the play style just isn’t my thing

i never got a fishing node there
Same

TIL there's a fishing node there, I thought that area is purely for boss fight

[opaque bough]

I like sword but my main strategy is slamming my fist into the buttons to win so I guess it fits

[novel spindle]

I also never got a naturally occurring fishing node in chaos, is that normal? I only got one once thanks to charon item

[brisk trail]

I like sword but my main strategy is slamming my fist into the buttons to win so I guess it fits
@opaque bough Same, even when playing Rail, almost always go haha button mashing go brrrr

I love shield

Ik I’m that guy

I also never got a naturally occurring fishing node in chaos, is that normal? I only got one once thanks to charon item
@novel spindle Purely RNG, I've gotten there 3-4 times I think

[coral verge]

fishing spots can spawn normally in Chaos

[opaque bough]

I can't stand rail actually, if only bc I actually need to dodge instead of flinching enemies to death

[brisk trail]

Hades rng is special

[novel spindle]

Than fudge am i unlucky. Hundreds of runs and no naturally occuring fishing node in chaos??

[brisk trail]

Honestly I’ve grown a love for shields because of dead cells

Than fudge am i unlucky. Hundreds of runs and no naturally occuring fishing node in chaos?? M
I feel your pain m8

I love shield
@brisk trail 4 out of my 7 escapes were done by Shield. It just so good, especially ||Aspect of Zeus|| + arrow boon

[quaint hatch]

Chaos seems rare
For me also

[brisk trail]

I’m a ||sheild of chaos fan||

[quaint hatch]

Yeeees

Come to me brother

[brisk trail]

Especially when you get Athena deflect on that

[quaint hatch]

Shall we throw our eyes upon our enemies

[brisk trail]

That thing rips through the hydra

I mean the shield also with grandmas chill is nice

Messes up the ||cow man pretty nice||

IMO ||Guan Yu|| playstyle is very high risk high reward with its notoriously low health

Lmao I’ve gotten used to that stuff

I mean the shield also with grandmas chill is nice
@brisk trail Grandma's Cast is the best

Dead cells cursed sword runs is pain

[coral verge]

the low health is a non issue since you can get health upgrades very easily, I've gotten up to 180 by end game

[brisk trail]

But makes me have lightening fast thumbs

[opaque bough]

hidden spear is too weird for me, I kinda need the Spin charge pulse Hammer for it to do well

[novel spindle]

I don't really like grandma cast, too slow to turn

[brisk trail]

||darkness health perk is a life saver||

[opaque bough]

I don't really like grandma cast, too slow to turn
there's a duo skill for that

[brisk trail]

the low health is a non issue since you can get health upgrades very easily, I've gotten up to 180 by end game
@coral verge There gotta be a hammer-boon thingy that speeds up the Spear charging, right? I rarely use Spear and Bow.

[still sand]

grandma cast is my favorite cast in the game.

[coral verge]

there are like 3 hammer upgrades that helps out a lot on Spear charge attack

faster charging, bigger AOE, longer range

[brisk trail]

I don't really like grandma cast, too slow to turn
@novel spindle I like to spam them very close to bosses. Placement makes all the differences.

I’m a festive fog cast person

Love the duo for that

[opaque bough]

I barely pick cast boons and when I do it still keeps them targeted

boiling blood too nice

[brisk trail]

Grandmas cast is fun especially with the 5 bloodstone crazy cast damage builds but I prefer festive fog

[opaque bough]

is it called boiling blood? I forget

[brisk trail]

Boiling blood is ||dads debuff||

[opaque bough]

I mean the mirror upgrade

[brisk trail]

we also have Boiling and/or Abyssal Blood on mirror

[opaque bough]

+damage on enemies that are red Sims

[brisk trail]

Btw how to unlock the god's specific prophecies? Not the boon lists one, but the ones featured on Steam achievements.

[novel spindle]

Nectar

[brisk trail]

I've completed a lot of their boon list ones

Oh

I see

So, give them 2nd nectar each? Or more?

I’ve only maxed out Artemis and wave daddy

[novel spindle]

You improve relationship and then they will give quest

[brisk trail]

^

[jade crescent]

so basically max them :/

[brisk trail]

Yup

I've dumped a lot of Nectar on House residents, particularly Meg and Orpheus

[jade crescent]

which is good... it's nice to have endgame achievements

[brisk trail]

||i feel likes dad’s call is going to be used for speed runs||

[novel spindle]

Give nectar to all the characters you like

[thorny apex]

Wait is dumping nectar after the first one good? I thought you didnt get any trinkets

[jade crescent]

I'm finally down to a single page of achievements on steam

you get prophecies

[brisk trail]

|| i also love how when you trigger it when your fighting him he sometimes says shut up or something like that||

[thorny apex]

Really? Any worthwhile characters to max?

[brisk trail]

2 or 5 nectars each?

[novel spindle]

||i feel likes dad’s call is going to be used for speed runs||
@brisk trail i still need to unlock that. I was so confused when i didn't achieve the full keepsakes achievement

[jade crescent]

why is the ||invis|| that good?

[brisk trail]

I haven’t unlocked it either I gave my pc away so doing switch runs

[opaque bough]

||"Father!!!"

"WHAT!!!"||

[jade crescent]

max skelly, than, meg, dusa, achilles, and the boulder guy

[brisk trail]

But I’m aware of it

[novel spindle]

Wait is dumping nectar after the first one good? I thought you didnt get any trinkets
@thorny apex you mostly do it for the dialogue, eventually you unlock quests and stuff. And some give something extra at the last heart

[brisk trail]

||it makes you do double damage||

[jade crescent]

they've got cool stuff after maxing

[brisk trail]

I like megs max

[coral verge]

||dad's call gives 100% extra damage||

[jade crescent]

but only on the first hit

[coral verge]

seems like it's for the entire duration

[brisk trail]

I like megs max
@brisk trail How many more should I give her? I think I've given 5, but there's still some unfilled hearts on her profile

[viral bane]

||you get companion thingies after the 6 nectars, a favour and ambrosia for certain characters (the ones @jade crescent just said)||

[jade crescent]

I thought the duration ends after the first hit?

[viral bane]

I'm using meg's too atm

[brisk trail]

||you get companion thingies after the 6 nectars, a favour and ambrosia for certain characters (the ones @jade crescent just said)||
@viral bane I see

Im right now trying to max out dad, Achilles, Tartarus dude, and than

[jade crescent]

same, than's is hard to hit

[viral bane]

Bouldy is good too I've heard

[floral shore]

Meg's is my favorite as well. ||Than's and Achilles'|| are also pretty awesome.

[brisk trail]

I’m almost at 6 for a couple of people on switch

[viral bane]

Since you get some heals as well

[jade crescent]

I don't have ||bouldy or achilles|| yet

[brisk trail]

Is Achilles and than a spoiler

[jade crescent]

eh prolly not except if you mention what they give?

[brisk trail]

You meet than after your 5 run

[coral verge]

||Dusa|| has some pretty funny dialogue even if useless damage

[novel spindle]

Bouldy is good too I've heard
@viral bane i only gave a couple nectar to bouldy

[brisk trail]

eh prolly not except if you mention what they give?
Of course

I just don’t like dusa

[viral bane]

@novel spindle the companion comes from sisyphus actually

[opaque bough]

by that logic eurydice is also a spoiler but we can't only chat with spoiler bars

[brisk trail]

I also pretty much ignore skelly

[jade crescent]

dusa only ||petrifies||, and I don't assume it works on bosses

[brisk trail]

I’ve given them 3 nectar

[novel spindle]

@novel spindle the companion comes from sisyphus actually
@viral bane i like sysiphus even less

[viral bane]

||it just drops bouldy on their head for 1000 dmg plus drops some supplies||

[brisk trail]

dusa only petrifies, and I don't assume it works on bosses
Doesn’t work

[jade crescent]

oof

so garbo

[brisk trail]

||it just drops bouldy on their head for 1000 dmg plus drops some supplies||
||just drops bouldy Bouldy is not a just moment||

[novel spindle]

Im slowly doing every characters nectar so I'll eventually get to sysiphus

[brisk trail]

@viral bane bouldy will be comming to visit you tonight for that comment

[jade crescent]

[opaque bough]

are ||companions|| a one time thing or does it recharge?

[jade crescent]

if you max them you can get 5 in a run

[brisk trail]

^

[opaque bough]

huh

[jade crescent]

only 1 per engagement though

[opaque bough]

looking forward to it

[wind nest]

There’s a Charon shop item to increase their usage by 1

[floral shore]

You also can buy additional charges from the well.

The five baseline charges are mostly enough though.

[brisk trail]

I mean those anyone here ever the take the cyclops jerky select

I’ve never done it

[floral shore]

Oh, quite often.

[brisk trail]

I play defensive and take hydra light

[wind nest]

Many times I get to pat with full health and all lives

[viral bane]

[opaque bough]

from Patty or the well?

[viral bane]

I'm sorry bouldy

[floral shore]

It's a good thing to have when you don't really need the healing or the DDs and use an attack. If you don't need either, why take Patty in the first place?

[opaque bough]

I've taken the well atk bonus often enough

[viral bane]

Bouldy has always been supportive and I appreciate him

[brisk trail]

Because you get one trigger at the end of ||womder twins||

[zinc shore]

Just had ||hades laser beam|| clip through the rock pillar and end me

Rip

[brisk trail]

I feel like asphodel is the only area that I actually die in

[viral bane]

I always take jerky from pat unless I'm low hp or missing DD

Or not an attack build I guess

[brisk trail]

Tarturus I don’t

[jade crescent]

can't waste DDs on the first two realms unless you've got heat cranked or a chaos deboon

[brisk trail]

And by the time your at elysium you usually can melt minions

[jade crescent]

bows have a really hard time against shields

[brisk trail]

And the labyrinth is kind of just easy tbh poison is annoying but not that bad if your fast

[novel spindle]

I feel like bows are too slow for high heat fights

[brisk trail]

bows have a really hard time against shields
Fair enough

[jade crescent]

poison

[brisk trail]

I feel like bows are too slow for high heat fights
||nah Charon aspect||

[glass oak]

question -- I'm thinking about buying the game, but from reading steam reviews I'm worried about the long-term replay value. Is there some sort of new game+ or "start over fresh" mode for a balanced late game run

[jade crescent]

yeah, some enemies can completely keep stunning before you get full charge

bruh, charon over hera??

they have a hell option if your initial save is too easy

[brisk trail]

I feel like asphodel is the only area that I actually die in
@brisk trail Styx rat holes are bane of my existence

[novel spindle]

question -- I'm thinking about buying the game, but from reading steam reviews I'm worried about the long-term replay value. Is there some sort of new game+ or "start over fresh" mode for a balanced late game run
@glass oak hades has a lot of replayability, its the core of the game. I still haven't finished everything after almost a year of playing

[glass oak]

what percent of runs can you expect to win with a maxed out character?

@novel spindle

[zinc shore]

I saw someone with like 100+ win streak

[brisk trail]

I saw someone with like 100+ win streak
@zinc shore Mad lad

[zinc shore]

I'm not maxed out or even that good and I'm on a 10 win streak

Once you start upgrading via the mirror (and you don't enable harder modes with heat) it really isn't that hard to win if your familar with boss patterns

[indigo nest]

yah

[coral verge]

there are difficulty settings you can set for bounties

[terse geyser]

what percent of runs can you expect to win with a maxed out character?
@glass oak assuming you know how to build during runs, and are good at the game, as many as you want

[void vigil]

that depends - there is a system that lets you up the difficulty however youd like with many modifiers, so even with a maxed out character, the game can be as challenging as you make it

[glass oak]

oh good thank you

[zinc shore]

Early game when I started I won maybe 15-20% of my runs.

[robust socket]

the only bad thing about this game is that it takes too much attention for me also to watch godzilla while I play

[viral bane]

Game is good you should buy

Very worth

[novel spindle]

what percent of runs can you expect to win with a maxed out character?
@glass oak im not a great player, i have maxed out mirror, and maxed out the weapons i think need them. Wins really depend on the weapon and the heat (newgame+). I just recently reached the credits (official "ending") and haven't managed to surpass my current heat (aka i haven't managed to beat the boss at a higher difficulty)

[brisk trail]

Totally. One of my best game purchases this year.

Beside Desperados 3 & Tsushima

[zinc shore]

It's good though. Dying pushes the story along so even if you die you're not punished, really

[novel spindle]

@glass oak i really recommend the game, as long as it isn't a genre you hate, this is a great game

[opaque bough]

kinda hard to hate roguelikes tbf

[novel spindle]

And some people that even don't like rogue-likes (or is it lite?) love Hades

[opaque bough]

if anything the main qualm would be that it's not roguelike enough

[novel spindle]

There is some debate on the whole rogue-like/ rogue-lite thing, but to me they are pretty much the same

[mystic goblet]

I'm not generally huge on roguelikes/lites but the presentation is so polished it's like

incredibly hard not to love lol

and yeah dying never feels frustrating since the hub area has so much flavor

it's like oh now I can talk Dusa again this rocks

[drifting summit]

Roguelikes = you don't carry over anything, versus roguelites where you do carry over stuff so you get more advantages over time, iirc.

[novel spindle]

Yeah i mostly prefer talking to the characters than fighting so honestly dying is sometimes a relief

[opaque bough]

thing with roguelikes is if it's bad then you've never heard of it, so we get this confirmation bias thing

not just a bad thing but to keep in mind

[brisk trail]

when will there be an actual bouldy rock to buy from the merch store

[quaint hatch]

Hell yeah

Bouldy plushy

[errant stump]

|| trying to get hidden railgun aspect but Zeus never talks about it. Any help? i invested 5-6 blood into guns ||

[quaint hatch]

But it's actually made out of rock

First mark it as a spoiler please

Second the dialogue when it appears is rng

Just do more runs

[maiden mulch]

many experienced players have a 100% win rate on low heat

[quaint hatch]

Also ||you need to have unlocked spear hidden aspect first, then invest 5 blood into non zagreus aspects, unlocking doesn't count||

[opaque bough]

|| on both sides so two bars

[errant stump]

ok ty, so i just wait

[tulip ocean]

I'm tearing through the game with Hera Bow

I've succeeded last 3 escapes

[distant totem]

I'm gonna try hera bow next I think

my first bow run with zag aspect did not go well

kinda just want to get my bow clear out of the way so I can go back to ||hestia|| aspect lol

[brisk trail]

Is it good compared to Chiron Bow?

[distant totem]

from what I hear hera doesn't need to be fully upgraded to be really good, unlike chiron

[brisk trail]

I see

[tulip ocean]

Hera Bow is nuts imo

[maiden mulch]

there are even potential builds where upgrading Hera makes it actively worse

[distant totem]

oh cuz of the dropped bloodstone boon?

[maiden mulch]

i guess it's suboptimal to run Stygian Soul Hera anyway though

but higher level is strictly worse in that case

unless you have a dislodge boon I guess

[tulip ocean]

Yeah gotta find that hermes boon for optimal damage

[novel spindle]

Some of the hera+casts interactions are a bit wonky

Like grandma cast

[willow swallow]

So i dont think ive ever asked but why no apollo?

[brisk trail]

What was he the God of again?

[granite cove]

What happens in this case? No additional dmg and just a crystal at the end of your arrow?

[willow swallow]

The sun, Artemis's brother

[opaque bough]

apollo is the god of "literally everything else" iirc

it's... a lot

[willow swallow]

Seems like a weird exclusion considering Demeter seems more obscure

[brisk trail]

The sun, Artemis's brother
@willow swallow Won't god of sun be Helios?

[opaque bough]

I mean in the end the game is just an adaptation of existing mythos, so they're free to pick and choose what fits or not

[coral verge]

Apollo is just Helios

[brisk trail]

Seems like a weird exclusion considering Demeter seems more obscure
@willow swallow But Demeter is kinda needed tho, for narrative too, because she's the mother of Kore/Persephone

Yeah, that's the Roman name, I think.

Apollo is just Helios
@coral verge I see

Oh, no.

Wait.

[novel spindle]

Seems like a weird exclusion considering Demeter seems more obscure
@willow swallow demeter is directly tied to Hades and Persephone myth so it would be weirder if she wasn't there. And few gods are as obscure as zagreus. I first thought he was a made up character

[willow swallow]

Just wrote a quick answer, but still just seems like a weird exclusion considering id consider him one of the most known.

[brisk trail]

I don't know, I shouldn't have tried to answer.

Zagreus, the God of Talking Back to His Father

[opaque bough]

I thought he was ||the god of feast and wiiiine||

[worthy egret]

Depends.

[willow swallow]

Apollo is god of sunlight and prophecies basically

[coral verge]

wait... is that why Dionysos always call Zagreus bro?

[worthy egret]

Thats the orphic Zagreus, who is more just a beta Dionysus.

[opaque bough]

Honestly out of the entire OST, Hymn ||to Zagreus|| has fascinated me the most

[willow swallow]

And im not saying Demeter shouldnt be there just weird to not have Apollo i guess is my main point since hes more known

[opaque bough]

it's just so GOOD

[worthy egret]

Sgg went with the ||rebirth|| side of Zag

I mean im nkt really missing apollo

[coral verge]

Zagreus being sort of Dionysos makes so much sense now

[worthy egret]

Wouldve been cool but eh

[brisk trail]

I don't know, I shouldn't have tried to answer.
@brisk trail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo

In Hellenistic times, especially during the 5th century BCE, as Apollo Helios he became identified among Greeks with Helios, Titan god of the sun.

Apollo and Helios/Sol remained separate beings in literary and mythological texts until the 5th century CE.

Sooo... Both right and wrong, depending on the timeline? LOL

[opaque bough]

a lack of burly Haephaestus also makes me sad

but hey there's always later

[worthy egret]

Dont think therell be a later for Hades

As the game is out

[coral verge]

https://greekmythology.wikia.org/wiki/Zagreus

[opaque bough]

Me neither but there's so much outcry for it that we'll at least get a "we're not gonna" response

right now it's not confirmed or unconfirmed

[brisk trail]

a lack of burly Haephaestus also makes me sad
@opaque bough Yea, when I saw "Daedalus Hammer", I was like wait what?

[opaque bough]

there's totally potential for some sort of fire status effect

damage ticks but it increases enemy move speed or something

then again ||gilgamesh|| sorta does that

[brisk trail]

Btw, if I already have ||Guan Yu Aspect||, and to unlock other 5 hidden aspects, does the initial cost of 1 (for 2nd aspect) and 2 (for 3rd) for unlock, counts toward the total required 5 each, or do I need to spend another 5 bloods on each after unlocking?

[coral verge]

||just 5 bloods on each weapon total||

[brisk trail]

Thanks

[novel spindle]

Theres "overlysarcasticproductions" on youtube that has a video about Dyonisus that mentions his connections to zagreus

https://youtu.be/5brAr51ip_k

They also have a video about Theseus and Sysiphus that really alter how i see the characters in-game (much worse)

[void vigil]

@fair dove @pastel flume please dont discuss feedback in the feedback channel

[lament canyon]

Oh man I love OSP

[raven silo]

I'd like to note on that OSP video that it doesn't really talk too much about zagreus himself, just dionysus' connection to him via orphic dionysus

[pastel flume]

I just wanted to nominate my suggestion for the admin chamber is all

[zinc shore]

I just used the anvil and gain the same hammer ability I lost

Didn't know that was possible

[hearty forge]

how do i do spoiler tags

[zinc shore]

You surround your comment with ||

So, || in the front of it and in the back

[brisk trail]

Can I get a mostly spoiler free tip on how to upgrade my relationship with hades outside of giving him 1 nectar

[zinc shore]

Beat the game, basically

[fair dove]

Just give him more

Lol

[brisk trail]

It doesn’t let you outside of the one

[fair dove]

Oh you need to beat the game first

Then some story stuff

[zinc shore]

You have to beat the game to give him more

[fair dove]

And then u can gift him

[brisk trail]

I’ve beaten the game, but I’m assuming you’re referring to ||some secret boss fight. Haven’t seen it just heard about it||

[fair dove]

No, just beating redacted

You need to get ||the credits||

||which is achieved by beating the game for a lot more times||

[brisk trail]

I’ve seen ||mom once on switch so far, and twice on pc.|| how do I get ||the trinket I need to do the secret boss fight||

[fair dove]

I can tell u the actual number if u want

[brisk trail]

Hmm

No need

Thank you!

[fair dove]

Ok

Just keep beating the game

You’ll get there

Yep you’re welcome

[potent carbon]

Ye just gotta keep going

[ionic hamlet]

||How do I unlock the other side of the mirror of night? ||

[robust socket]

oh I was actually just talking to my friends about all like "heyyyy where's Apollo :("

but considering he generally does a lot with archery and plagues, that's kind of Artemis and Dionysius' wheelhouses

[brisk trail]

tbh i would have wanted helios would have been cool too i think

[feral sky]

dont yall think we should have the option to change weapon when we reach a stage check point ?

[robust socket]

Nah, bcuz hammer boons n stuff. I'm ok with it the way it is

Helios/apollo sort of conflation would have been good. I'm just not sure what it'd do

[feral sky]

i suppose so

but ye ajust a thought that itll be cool

[robust socket]

maybe like, radiant AoE stuff? Dazzled curse?

[feral sky]

doing dmg without attacking kinda op aint it

i guess its similar to ares's dash buff with sword spinning

[robust socket]

I mean, you kinda can with some of the zeus powers, and I mean like, you tag an enemy and they do AoE damage around themselves

or maybe their cast is like, a radius around you, idk. I'm sure actual devs could figure out what to do better than me, some nerd online

[mystic nexus]

Does Support Fire and Aspect of Chaos interact the way I think it should?

(i.e. I get a shot for each shield that hits?)

[scarlet helm]

do the small rooms on the top floor each count as an encounter

asking for the feather keepsake

[quaint hatch]

I'm split on that
They don't count for the ||Flower|| but do count for the crops boom from dem

[scarlet helm]

im confiused

[quaint hatch]

Me too

[ionic hamlet]

||Anyone know how to flip the Mirror? ||

[charred turtle]

good lord I love this game

[robust socket]

they count as rooms but not encounters I don't think

so you can still get the 3 health for entering a room, or side hustle cash per room

[quaint hatch]

Weirdly enough rare crops triggers of them

To the left of the mirror options there should be arrows
So go on an option and press left/click on an arrow

If you have not yet unlocked it ||Nyx will tell you MORE||

[ionic hamlet]

I'm on switch lol

[quaint hatch]

Same

That's why I said press left

Or click

[ionic hamlet]

||I might have to talk to her then ||

[quaint hatch]

Yup

[calm bone]

what happens if you continue to romance a character?

I romanced Charon like 6 times already and he's still not giving me any signs of affection

[quaint hatch]

You can't romance everyone

As far as I know only ||Dusa, Meg and Thanatos||

[calm bone]

alright not bad

I'll start with thanatos and see where he takes me

[quaint hatch]

Oh he takes you

But you know about the stuff with the hearts with locks right?

[calm bone]

not exactly

[mortal swift]

those are familiars right?

[quaint hatch]

Not in all cases

||When you give a character enough nectar they might show a heart with a lock. That indicates you have to finish a quest before being able to progress I'm their relationships. This is usually activated through random dialogue and you'll get a prophecy for it. Once it's completed you can gift them ambrosia. In some cases that gives you Companions||

[ionic hamlet]

@quaint hatch || How do I unlock hidden aspects in weapons?||

[quaint hatch]

There's a pinned comment in story and spoilers

If you still have questions just ask ofc

[ionic hamlet]

@quaint hatch Thanks

[fleet zephyr]

You know it just clicked for me how to properly use the ||Zeus Aspect|| of the Shield
Youre supposed to recall the thing when its starts entering an area with no enemies back to you to deal more damage instead of it awkwardly sitting there

[robust socket]

Bingo! I just got it and I'm excited for having this sort of AoE area control dealie to play around with. I haven't used the shield throw that often before (Although the multibounce + ares was pretty fun)

[quaint hatch]

Zeus or what?

[silk forge]

so my switch game got an update, anyone know what that was about?

i see that there is a way to change around items at the trader. is there any way to make use of excess darkness currency?

[quaint hatch]

Yes

[urban drum]

ok

[quaint hatch]

You'll unlock it just by doing runs

[urban drum]

that's all i needed to know, thanks 🙂

[quaint hatch]

Hope you'll be having fun

[shut flicker]

does anyone know if they r gonna add more content

[quaint hatch]

No

They're doing a pause right now

Further plans not yet known

[brisk trail]

Any big feature you guys would like to see in the game ? For me that would be online coop (I know it's never gonna happen but still)

[shut flicker]

god fights

like u vs zeus

[brisk trail]

Nice one

[shut flicker]

or heucules

[brisk trail]

All npcs as bosses 😓 and dusa as the last and strongest of them

I think your idea is somewhat realistic if they ever decide to make a big DLC/free update

[rustic juniper]

Choice of double boon or second hammer in elysium

[fleet zephyr]

Minigame cabinets at the npc rest stops

[rustic juniper]

which do you go for?

[fleet zephyr]

Double

[rustic juniper]

try to get hammer at charon?

[fleet zephyr]

I mean if you dont at all you can always wait until it appears in styx

[rustic juniper]

jk got hammer in the next room

[mental fog]

Hmm did an update just come out for the Switch?

[arctic umbra]

How can you see what fish you've caught on the run so far?

Cheers!

[barren ocean]

there needs to be like a rage channel where i can just scream about how i messed up fighting a boss or something XD

I misjudged my damage and the opponents health

And i literally was one hit away from finishing it

[hollow lark]

just finished getting all the achievements woot :o

[stiff root]

I

[barren ocean]

ayyyyyyyyyyy

nice

[stiff root]

I set shift to reloading and always meet autowalking in a direction without WSAD,have anyone met the same problem?

maybe shift+space+wsad will make the problem,or my chinese input method make it

[barren ocean]

You can ask in #h1-tech-fixes to see if someone can help

[stiff root]

thx

[deep gulch]

I don't know if this is the right channel but as a suggestion, add 5 sec timer after you pause before the game resumes so you can get ready if you have to pause the game mid-encounter.

[granite ether]

That goes in #hades-feedback be sure to read the pinned messages there first @deep gulch

[tawdry flower]

5 seconds seems a bit much and could be easily abused

[distant totem]

my first hera bow run went a lot better than my zag bow run last night

carried by aphro cast lol

still feels hard to deal with swarming enemies compared to melee tho

[steel iris]

I've played like 40 plus hours of the game and I still can't tell if doom is good or not

[sturdy pier]

I died with final boss on literally 40-50 hp, my last attack mid air, and boom got decapitated.
So sad

[round wraith]

Is there a late game use for keys? I got the mirror all unlocked and wondering if I should just spend them all on nectar

[flat vapor]

kind of?

there's definitely late-game cosmetics and unlockables that use keys, but the mechanical gameplay stuff you've already used up

[round wraith]

Gotcha. So keys for nectar is prob worth

[flat vapor]

yep, plus it's not like there's a shortage of keys

[round wraith]

I kinda avoid em cuz they don't give me dice yet

[buoyant merlin]

It seems with the first ||pact of punishment you can overide the rewards of a pactless run. Are those still there after the fact? How does that work?||

[flat vapor]

||heat 0 is an unusual case in that you can save those bounties for later and are not forced to get them, since the pact always starts at heat 1 (or 5 for hell mode players, but you can't get heat 0 in hell mode anyways). this leads to weird situations like people not realizing that they are even missing heat 0 bounties||

[buoyant merlin]

Ah so you can always go back and get them

[stuck condor]

Why does every interactable has a huge hit range but the poison cure wells? What bs is that lol

spend more time trying to click it the one time I get poisoned and by the time it pops up even when spamming the button too late your run is screwed!

[hollow lark]

ive never had an issue with clicking em idk

[stuck condor]

ts soo tiny

everything else has huge so I got use to that

welp time to fight hades with 51 hp

[hollow lark]

it seems the exact same to me idk

[stuck condor]

its not I tested

this always happens lol

you have to be on the most like southern tip of it

you can't be right or left

[hollow lark]

oh yea you hav to be below

[stuck condor]

its annoying

make it like 1% wider

[hollow lark]

you can tell from the visual of it that its kinda pointed downward

[stuck condor]

not even the trinket I maxed for not taking damage doesn't help

[hollow lark]

satyrs usually are really slow to attack tho

[stuck condor]

yea but usually I can't see the well itself half the time because too many glowy stuff on screen covering it lol

[hollow lark]

and rats are predictable

[opaque nexus]

Arthur aspect is so fun

[round wraith]

Just stand next to poison wells the whole time

[opaque nexus]

I haven’t used it in a while

[hollow lark]

you can also try to fight next to poison wells if youre having issue with them

[fossil spire]

Stun lock them before they can poison you

[stuck condor]

I get poisoned once usually because dodging away into a pool

but "get gud" is a horrible excuse for a well

its literaly a well, not a key hole

[hollow lark]

it takes a while for the poison to deal a lot of dmg in styx anyway

and theres not really any other enemy in styx that deals much dmg

[round wraith]

I think the poison sucks

[stuck condor]

yea and I can't see the bottom with the rave going on lol

its a lame mechanic yes but the well should be usuable from all sides its just a big ass bowl in this game

[round wraith]

It's just so soften your health bar before big guy

[stuck condor]

they should change it to a coconut with a straw

[flat vapor]

isn't it fun when giant rats spread poison right around the fountain, so when you cure yourself you immediately get poisoned again?

[round wraith]

Are hidden aspects good before upgrading?

-70% hp seems bad

[stuck condor]

235 useless hp points after that one poison lol

alright hades no lifes and 51 hp lets go

[flat vapor]

sword - yes
spear - yes-ish, if you can deal with the hp loss (but really, no)
shield - yes
bow - yes but you want to upgrade
fists - the jury's still out on this one
rail - yes

[hollow lark]

bep im not a big fan of that aspect personally

the bow once upgraded is sick

sword is like the only one that doesnt gain much from upgrading it i find

[stuck condor]

even hades knows the poison well hit zone sucks by his dialogue upon entering the room

how come I can't see the boil blood stuff

[hollow lark]

what?

[stuck condor]

unless his hits do it on contact

[hollow lark]

its his green skulls that apply it

[stuck condor]

I thought boil blood was a circular wave

yea I never see those

I see yellow skull enemies he spawns

[hollow lark]

no he shoots out green skulls

[stuck condor]

never seen that in my entir eplay time

[hollow lark]

and then they sit on the ground if you dodge em and they explode after 5 sec

[stuck condor]

was wondering what was happening

[hollow lark]

the circular wave is from the skulls

[stuck condor]

I only seen the yellow/orange dudes

skull dudes

[hollow lark]

are you on color blind mode or something?

they dont move they sit there and have a countdown

[stuck condor]

no but usually I get hit when I go in for the backstab

wait no not there at all

this happens before any skulls get spread out like that

unless he only shoots one and I happen to get hit while on his body

but no circle comes out

[hollow lark]

a circle wont come out if it hits you

the skull gets consumed

[stuck condor]

so I am literally getting hit by him when he is facing away

lol

[hollow lark]

no he turns towards you

[stuck condor]

it says backstab

[hollow lark]

yes

[stuck condor]

then I got the debuff

[hollow lark]

yes he turns when he shoots the skull

it has a fairly long animation

[stuck condor]

as he was doing his lunge opposite way

with his cool looking spear

[hollow lark]

boiling blood also makes you take increased dmg from his swings

[stuck condor]

he was going opposite way of me

[round wraith]

I like shield a lot. Interested to try hidden aspect once unlocked

I don't like normal boss at all but heard the hidden aspect is pretty different

[zenith pollen]

I want to say that from the day I started playing early access to now this game has been amazing and still is

[hollow lark]

normal bow you mean?

^^^^^^

[round wraith]

Oh ya

[stuck condor]

I love it only gripe is the giant cure wells are more like tiny straws lol

[round wraith]

Normal bow

[hollow lark]

hidden aspect bow is really fun

[round wraith]

I've never had a problem with the cure wells

[hollow lark]

it plays different so you may still like it even tho normal bow you dont like

[stuck condor]

I can't see them usually because there is a rave going on

[round wraith]

Just look for em right away

Or try

[stuck condor]

yeah I have an issue getting the interactable to show up

I think it should be bigger its a well. Not a coconut with a straw that can only be drunk from one spot where the straw is in.

[hollow lark]

idk ive never seen people hav an issue with em

they can be slightly hard to spot sometimes tho

if you dont know where they are in each room already

[stuck condor]

I can see them

but trying to dodge and not get hit cured then poisoned again amongst a rave

it's more like an above ground spring then a well, should be able to dive right in lol

I dont' even see it spawn

[opaque nexus]

Umm spoiler bro

[flat vapor]

remember that this is non-spoiler chat

[stuck condor]

I dont' see pins or thigns on top on mobile sorry. mobile ui so bad

I mean you can but you have to open memberlist

then click on stuff to see more

its like the poison cure well, bad ui design xD

[terse geyser]

the poison cure wells are fine

they are 100% visible both while poisoned and healthy

[stuck condor]

I should stop callign them wells, they only look like them but they behave more like straws

i may just try to bind e to one of my attack buttons if not switch to controller you can assign mutiple buttons to one that way on steam

[round wraith]

Can you? I play mostly on switch. Would like redundant buttons for a few of em

[stuck condor]

I don't know about switch, but with steam you can use any controller and bind it as you will

you can even do macros and bind multiple buttons

and it works with non-stema games if you add it to client so it can use the api

[brisk trail]

bone-rakers are super annoying

[ocean harbor]

my game froze mid run

[ember flame]

Oh Switch update?

Yep:

You can't open Twitter?

[stuck condor]

oh they prob can play their save now @round wraith

I had to copy link, discord wasn't passing the link on to browser like normal

[round wraith]

That's some caveman stuff

@round wraith From what I’ve read posted by SG folks, the save data loading issue was caused by corrupted data due to a crash. The crash was caused by empty talents.

[round wraith]

Oh the mirror stuff

[stuck condor]

Yea I know firefox sucks

[brisk trail]

how does deflect work with the rail's special? like, if deflect gets added to that ability

[hollow lark]

The projectile prob has to be in the explosion to deflect?

But def not a good idea unless ur using ||the hidden aspect special||

[brisk trail]

ugh. I keep getting stuck on || hades, especially phase 2. || I can consistently get there pretty much every run, and recently I've been getting there with full health and full death defiance, but then I just blow it. and the annoying part is that I beat it on my first try, and since then I'm like 0-15.

feels bad

[dawn iris]

it's alright! keep trying! and one tip is to actually try and clear out the grabby pot traps as much as possible

create a safe area of combat

||u dont wanna get pulled into a laser||

[round wraith]

how does artemis attack crit chance stack with vengeance blade?

[brisk trail]

it's all additive in this game

no crazy multiplication

[sullen hearth]

When yall first started playing did you enable hell mode?

After like 30-40 runs im able to kill hades everytime now

[calm bone]

I only kill hades when im not doing 40 heat runs

[jovial crypt]

Question, what's the best way to do a bug report?

I've got a clip of what happened, but I'm not sure where to put it

[glacial mist]

Hi all! I'm supernew here (and to Hades)

Can I ask something which is slowly starting to bug me more and more?

[hollow lark]

ugh. I keep getting stuck on || hades, especially phase 2. || I can consistently get there pretty much every run, and recently I've been getting there with full health and full death defiance, but then I just blow it. and the annoying part is that I beat it on my first try, and since then I'm like 0-15.
@brisk trail
Just btw you ||can sit inside hades laser circle and deal dmg to him and it won’t hit you||

[terse geyser]

@glacial mist yes

[rotund frost]

I just went through all of Elysium without a single Well of Charon or Chaos Gate. Which was pretty frustrating, since those contain things I very desperately want.

[indigo nest]

chaos gates are my life

[glacial mist]

@terse geyser ...when am I finally gonna be able to use the freaking Ambrosia?

😄

[indigo nest]

I take em whenever I see em

[hollow lark]

@glacial mist in due time

[indigo nest]

oh yeah when

[silk forge]

ambrosia is used after u unlock a char's locked heart

so keep using nectar for now

[terse geyser]

it'll be a while
you have to progress your relationship with npcs pretty far, and it's also locked behind some story progression

[glacial mist]

Ok so I wasn't wrong, maybe

oh!

[silk forge]

the game will let u know when u can gift ambrosia, think of it late game nectar

[glacial mist]

then it's locked behind some story progression for me, I already have two locked hearts

[hollow lark]

Just save it up you’ll need a lot eventually

[glacial mist]

I was just a little bit confused by almost nothing unlocking after beating hades (except the Heat)

I'll be patient then

[silk forge]

gotta play a bunch more

[terse geyser]

Yeah, beating the game is just the beginning

[glacial mist]

won't be a problem, the game is freaking addictive ahahahah

[hardy dawn]

that is true

v addictive

lolol

[indigo nest]

ive been playing it for 7 hours straight

[silk forge]

ur not even tehcnically done the game yet, cos you have yet to see the credits

[glacial mist]

to me is pretty weird too since I don't really manage to get addicted on Roguelites and Roguelites often, almost never actually

[silk forge]

same lol

[indigo nest]

my life is coffee

[silk forge]

but i like story based games

[hardy dawn]

i just want to complete the prophecies 😭

[glacial mist]

but with Hades damn, it's hard to stop

really hard

[terse geyser]

remember back in the day when the credits were available from the main menu

[silk forge]

they still are

?

[terse geyser]

now you have to do stuff to see it

or I'm blind

[silk forge]

theyre definitely there lol

[terse geyser]

that's also possible

[granite ether]

The credits have always been availible from the main menu

[silk forge]

i also havent beaten the game btw

[terse geyser]

they're hiding from me 👀

[silk forge]

but i just heard that you watch the credits n stuff happens

[granite ether]

You just won't get a sweet tune to go with em from the main menu

[silk forge]

at some point, and thats like a sign youve actually "finished" part of the game

[hollow lark]

The song is so sick Agg

[silk forge]

i should go play hades 👀 rn

what am i doing here lol

[glacial mist]

I wish I could

sigh

[terse geyser]

The credits have always been availible from the main menu :bittieLUL:
where

[silk forge]

its like when u boot up the game

before the file selection

i think

or its in the menu

[terse geyser]

right

[silk forge]

if you pause

[terse geyser]

where, in the menu, are the credits?

[silk forge]

i dont actually remmeber

but i do remmeber

seeing them the moment i opened the game

[terse geyser]

hmm

[silk forge]

i can check for u

give me a sec

[terse geyser]

thank you for your time

[silk forge]

it just brings up a huge scrolling textbox

Um I’m not sure actually I think so?

[stiff nexus]

i cleared the game many times in EA
would you recommend starting fresh ?
with 1.0
or I'll get to see all the stuff added from my old save anyway?

[hollow lark]

You’ll see the vast majority of the new stuff as far as I know

[rapid forum]

Unless you want to try hell mode

Or is that available in settings?

[blazing citrus]

Ok but how good is hades

Just got the game and its already a 10/10

[hollow lark]

I think hell mode is only available when you make the file but I could be wrong

Honestly hades is probably my favorite game ever

[blazing citrus]

It's deffs like top 5 at least insanely good

Loving the art style

[rapid forum]

Without the option to pet cerberus I'd give the game 9/10

[blazing citrus]

No more awful awful chibi cgi rubbish

[hollow lark]

The Cerberus dialogue is so funny

||the one after the party is hilarious||

[stiff nexus]

allright so no need for a fresh start then ?

[hollow lark]

I didn’t do a fresh start at least

So I wouldn’t fully know but I find that I’ve had no issues

[rapid forum]

Narrator's lines are hilarious so far

I've only beaten hades twice

[brisk trail]

@brisk trail
Just btw you ||can sit inside hades laser circle and deal dmg to him and it won’t hit you||
@hollow lark I did not know that! hopefully that helps get me over the hump!

[hollow lark]

You gotta be careful when doing that it’s pretty precise and if you mess it up you can take a lot of dmg

[rapid forum]

Huh that's a neat info

But I'm scardy cat

[hollow lark]

And using a cast pushes you backwards so you’ll take dmg

Just play shield and face tank the whole laser ez

[rapid forum]

Shield doesn't suit me ._.

I've had more successful runs using bow than shield

[stiff nexus]

i thoguht bow would be my fav

ended uo being my most disliked and shield which i thought I'd never use is my fav lol

love throwing that thing around and sadhing evrywhere lol

[rapid forum]

Maybe I just haven't had the chance to get all aspect to try which one suits me the most

[hollow lark]

Chaos is my favorite aspect

But adamant rail is my favorite weapon

[rapid forum]

That one is the most inviting really

[stiff nexus]

I actually use Zeus shield most

[pallid canyon]

@pliant flax the bot might be case sensitive

[hollow lark]

Zeus shield i wanna try more it’s very unique

[pliant flax]

ah

[stiff nexus]

i use it an keep on movement constantly

with it following me as i smash stuff

lots of fun

[hollow lark]

Definitely looks interesting I just maxed it today in preparation to try it

[rapid forum]

I wanna try dash build run lol

[tepid holly]

hm, just tried a run with the chiron bow and boy i do not get it at all

[hollow lark]

It would probably have to be Zeus or Poseidon if ur trying a dash build

[rapid forum]

Yea, though I'll prob do that when I'm bored

[ionic zealot]

on my 56th attempt I finally beat hades, I know a lot of people have beaten the game but was so excited to see what happened. Guess I gotta keep playing lol

[tepid holly]

congrats

[rapid forum]

Nice

[hollow lark]

That’s awesome dude

[rapid forum]

Um my dude, that's a spoiler

[hollow lark]

Yea pls use spoiler tags

|| on both sides of a message

[rustic tapir]

||beowulf|| is now my fav weapon

[brisk trail]

Sorry I'm not used to discord yet

||Testing||

[cinder flare]

What gods synergize well with the rail of adamant?

[brisk trail]

Zeus is great for dps

[lapis kettle]

Imma say zeus, dionosus, demeter and maybe ares?

[raven silo]

Ares needs certain boons to come online with doom but I could see it working I guess

Rail merciful end sounds like one of the better builds for that tbh

But before you hit that you would be stuck with a kinda meh weapon

[brisk trail]

Aphrodite is great for the special, she has a great damage increase

And weak is useful for damage offset

[wide gust]

are there any pre-requesites to get the npcs to talk to you for sisyphus' favour? (aside from gifting him 5x)

[left elk]

@wide gust i had to talk to MANY chatacters to progress his dialog enough for the task, and has the bounty to donit for dozen of runs before it was finally able to be completed.

[wide gust]

hm i see

yeah i think ive done 10+ since i finished gifting

[left elk]

Anyone know how flood shot works with hera bow? And duo ares for the flood shot pulse?

[sick mortar]

||>tfw artemis questions you about who's stopping you at the surface, even when you used her greater call during your last encounter with BigDaddy||

"I have him in my sights" yeah right

[brisk trail]

I feel bad

I was playing last night late

I started my last run but it crashed

Lol

[astral flume]

So i picked up Ares' cast with the Beowulf shield, and i feel utterly cheated. why does it behave so differently on that aspect??

[fading mortar]

Hades selling soundtracks when what we really want are clothes and art. I NEED AN ART BOOOOK

[left elk]

Anyone know how flood shot works with hera bow? And duo ares for the flood shot pulse?
Terrible. Would not recommend.

[lucid stratus]

so i have a heroic demeter special, cluster bomb and +30% special speed from hermes

it is a lot of explosions

[sharp fossil]

quick, get rocket bomb

then you’ll be set

[lucid stratus]

it was not meant to be, my second hammer was just attack stuff

[sharp fossil]

ah well

still plenty of explode

[lucid stratus]

i think i need to boycott the daedalus hammer on this run after it gave me cursed sword on two stygian blade runs

it will get rid of my cluster bomb and i will cry

[tired mirage]

I think I take more damage from lava than the actual enemies in asphodel lmao

[round wraith]

so if i killed the furies on one heat, do I need to kill the final boss on one heat to get fury titan blood on 2 heat?

[terse geyser]

yep

[indigo light]

I'm having a bit of trouble unlocking the rest of Thanatos' hearts

[lucid stratus]

every time i use a melee weapon in asphodel or elysium it feels that way

in elysium its the traps

[tired mirage]

just keep talking to him after every run, I unlocked it recently @indigo light

@lucid stratus those things that stab you with the spears?

[indigo light]

Alrighty, I'll keep going with that

[lucid stratus]

yeah man

they get me every time

[tired mirage]

so annoying xd

[round wraith]

jeesh

I've only gotten two real wins

[formal leaf]

Took a chaos gate that had trap DMG up condition in Asphodel.
Bad choice.

[tired mirage]

that sounds horrible

[wind wedge]

Yeah, the lava floors are probably the most dangerous thing to me in Asphodel as it is.

[formal leaf]

Yeah lost 2 of my death defiance charges so fast.

[lucid stratus]

i had sword with knockback and i kept knocking a witch into lava and i lost like 100 HP trying to kill it

[wind wedge]

I had a room reward spawn in the middle of lava once.

I lost a death defiance collecting it so I could leave the room.

[formal leaf]

[sharp fossil]

oof

that’s rough

[formal leaf]

And the way to the next room...

Overshoot the dash

Take dmg

[sharp fossil]

#everytime

[wind wedge]

Yeah, I still very slowly inch my way onto the jetties

[formal leaf]

After a few runs of Asphodel I realized that I was treating Tartarus like that too...
Uselessly trying to dash so that I won't land on "Lava".... Which does not even exist.

[sharp fossil]

imagine paying attention to where you dash and not just flailing about wildly and hoping everything dies by accident

[formal leaf]

That's for ||Styx rooms only||

Coz I just wanna get them over with

[sharp fossil]

flailing works great in ||styx ||rooms lol

until i get poisoned

[wind wedge]

Yeah, they're so tiny that if you have any dash effects at all...

[sharp fossil]

or poseidon cast

[formal leaf]

Festive fog

Permastun

[wind wedge]

Literally my first clear was Festive Fog + Ares dash [I misremembered it as Poseidon even thought it wasn't that long ago]

the ||Styx|| rooms were mostly fun

[steep blaze]

So... I am very interested in tracking down a way to extract a couple audio clips from the game, namely ||Tisiphone|| . I've managed to track down some tools that sort of work to supposedly give .ogg files but they end up being unplayable.

[formal leaf]

Murrr

[sharp fossil]

...derrrrrrr

[steep blaze]

You know exactly what I am looking for

[lament hawk]

what an endorsement! https://twitter.com/matthewmercer/status/1310842833322958848

Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer)

So, @supergiantgames’ Hades has consumed @Marisha_Ray and I’s souls. Not only is it an incredible game with a SUPER satisfying gameplay loop tied with seemingly endless narrative dopamine drips, but it’s been sooo long since I’ve played a game & crushed on every single charac...

@terse geyser Yeah same, except my controller is via bluetooth. flat out perfect control scheme- 100%

[cobalt maple]

I tried that but the game seemed to be confused about constantly changing input

and I got some weird movement

[north pier]

Works seamlessly on my machine, though i can imagine some machines would act weird

[neat crown]

@cobalt maple i am running that but it still takes forever to get 1k+ gems ;P

[cobalt maple]

try fulfilling prophecies

[north pier]

[cobalt maple]

other than that I don't think there's much to do

[north pier]

that wouldn't surprise me

darren contains multitudes

[cobalt maple]

only for singing it seems

Michael Ailshie says wiki

[north pier]

well lament of orpheus def sounds like darren

if it's not i'd be surprised

[sinful spruce]

Is Gligamesh the best fists aspect?

[raven meteor]

Depends on your playstyle

[sick mortar]

man dionysius' lines are killing me

"hey man zag I'm not angry at you, you know I'm not, but truth to be told, I am a little annoyed, I really am, so I gotta send this message man"

10/10 would drunk text

[lucid stratus]

i wasnt feeling the bow

[brisk trail]

Can someone help me?

[lucid stratus]

[brisk trail]

I cant unlock the ||guan yu aspect||

[muted geyser]

How do i fix Settings that are not being saved. And Auto save is not working either.

[thorny apex]

How to switch the target of rare crop?

[lucid stratus]

has to be 5 titan blood into a non zagreus aspect

perhaps that part tripped you up

well, it can be 5 titna blood total
