For Matrim, I personally like Spec four the most, although my hand always regrets it
4 looks dangerous
yeah, this game is great. I've completely killed my switch batter 4 times in 3 days
and that's hard for me to do as I have 2 kids and school, so don't have a ton of free time
guys if i change pc my save is lost?
should be on steam cloud like everything else
ok thx mate
Say, if I have 3 things from say Aphrodite and meet her again, will I only get level up options from aphro? Should I sell what is terrible? What effect does it have on other gods?
I barely ever sell boons I have and I'm not sure if I should.
level up options? No, you only get that from Poms
I have only ever sold once, and it was last run so I could buy a ||blood from last shop||
Man they do it again in EM4 and just do ||another phase||. Super super lame. Annoying³.
Uh, there's a lot more changes to the fight than that.
Those aren't annoying. I have certain resources that I have to play around for the length of the fight (like god gauge and DD and taking risks) and just pulling that STUFF again is not more difficult, but just super annoying.
My poor winstreak.
Im bout to try em4, hope it goes well
what's best ||fist aspect||?
@tulip ocean I'm having great time using the ||second aspect||
Second would depend heavily on boons I think
True that
Heyo, does Hades support analog movement?
ok so uhh im gonna rank all the hades weapons based on fashion because why not
As in, does movement support more than 8 directions?
https://tiermaker.com/create/hades-weapons-and-aspects-82372 im also gonna plug this since I made it
can you opt into certain gods?
like, I want Athena every run so I have at least one deflect 😛
Give her nectar
nice, I will
Yeah, there is an keepsake for almost every god you get when you gift them.
the keepsake just make their boons better rarity I thought?
No
When you put one on, it guarantees the next god boon is of that god
Save for Hermes' and Chaos' keepsakes
It -also- boosts rare chance
oh nice ty
Is uh hades crashing a common thing?
I've heard of it, but haven't had it happen to me
I've crashed about 10 times now but I'm not sure if it's hardware or hades' issue
I love ||Crystal Beam|| against Hydra
I’m on Switch, so I can’t comment on crashing
it never crashes on my pc
Yee usually when it starts crashing a lot I just restart the PC and it works fine
the Cyrstal beam honestly feels OP to me, especially if you build everything around it, so I just stopped using it, its just too good for almost everything.
I felt like i made a huge mistske today when i got the upgrade for the beam to follow me
Unless the enemy is moving too much/you aim it poorly
That follow-beam is great when you can drop 3 crystals down
Once I saw that you can have it automatically return after 3 seconds instead of having 3 casts manually, I never looked back. Feels way better.
I felt like i made a huge mistske today when i got the upgrade for the beam to follow me
@brisk trail Protip: place the beams on one side of the room, move to the other side of the boss, profit
There’s a boon that does that, too (returning the casts)
did 2 runs today with the crystal beam
didn't even spec much into it (lvl 2 and chill) but still felt pretty strong
Crystal Beam + the one that makes it cause chill + the one that makes stacks of Chill explode for damage
crystal beam artemis duo makes it way better too
after playing this game for 2 days straight imo its a great game ruined by that 'roguelike' genre style or whatever u guys call it
to the recycle bin where it belongs
nerds
bye
idk how its ruined by the roguelike genre when the game was built around it and fits perfectly for the narrative the game is going for
I, too, hate it when a game is excellent and infinitely replayable
idk how its ruined by the roguelike genre when the game was built around it and fits perfectly for the narrative the game is going for
@smoky wharf no checkpoints, play for 1 hour then start from the beginning, wtf is that
I mean he's just trying to make people mad no need to respond
Uh you restart from the beginning because each run makes you stronger
so the next run it will be easier to get back to where you were
Is this grounds for calling a mod? Feels like it
no need to call for a mod I'm leaving the server
Hades is the least roguelike roguelike I know and you still slam it for that, wack
and seeing as there is only 4 overall areas it really isn't so bad
get a life nerds
You're on discord we're all nerds boyo

and nothing of value was lost
yeah...
anyway who's everyone's favorite god?
zag ❤️
Hypnos best boi
poseidon is my weird uncle and i love him
He always wants to take me fishing
I mean I love all of them in that way
but my favorite is the one that can float in his own cozy blanket
Dionysius is what we should all aspire to be
I strive to be that chill
Guys, you’re all wrong about best boy
I feel like Dionysus is more of a weird uncle than Poseidon

then again aren't they all tbh
Hey peeps. No spoilers but I got my first win! Woo. That felt so satisfying.
congrats!
Did you stop and see the ||sunrise|| on the way to ||Persephone||?
||Of course||
||20th attempt, Coronacht, no death defiance items used even!||
I nabbed a screenshot of it if anyone wants it as a PC background or similar
I'm considering maybe trying for a ||punishmentless Coronacht|| speedrun thanks to that nice in gae timer there
Also yeah I don't know what is a spoiler or isn't but I'ma play it safe
@brazen pewter congrats! 😄
Thanks. I wish I could see my in game hours but because Switch it just says "First played 4 days ago"
Man this game is gonna be so fun to run even if I can already see that it might be a little chaotic
That's the whole point xD
yeah not able to see your game hours seems like a huge oversight especially since ||the unlockable room|| allows you to view much more detailed info.
I mean usually you should see it in steam/switch profile
For switch I believe you need to wait 10 days before you see your hours
You need 10 days before Switch hours show up
So it shouldn't be an issue
But if you start playing a game on switch it only shows you game time after about a week
It'll prolly be added I assume
I’m at 70 hours on Switch
I will say a neat addition would be ||splits for the in game time between areas||
Y'know what I'm gonna go for a zoomin' run right now and see how badly I get torn apart
Yoooo bout sane
Weird
All been non stop playing huh
Pretty much.
its addicting
I think I will slow it down a bit... then again - I said the same twice already.
i like experimenting so i like seeing what works more than succeding
the wins are pleasant surprises
i like experimenting so i like seeing what works more than succeding
I hope I don't burn out too fast
13 days x 6 hours a day ish
My goal is to get the ||rare materials from Charon shop|| at the end.
Hades ye

Oh thanks game
So I can just do my own splits by ||capturing after the boss is defeated||
I rather beat the run
But there's a point in just farming for shoo
Shop
I just find farming to not be fun
Maybe I lf I desperately need blood for a weapon
Farming burned me out in warframe before
I haven’t had a problem buying the diamond/blood for Charon most runs.
I usually take most shops
So and buy stuff at the final shop
If I'd stop doing that ofc
yeh I usually don't buy anything prior to final shop unless I some kind of coin bonus
I buy boons for my build and hammers I f I'm unlucky and don't see any
I tend to buy stuff, though I do try to balance it out with going for coins.
It's not that hard.
And if you have a bonus of it, especially from ||Chaos||, then very much so - it should be okay to buy quite some things.
I wish torchlight felt as good to play as this game
He's really stingy with me
Never even saw his legendary
Although I meet the reqs every single run
Those need a boost probably.
Cause requirements is one thing.
But it's rarity is a factor as well.
And... yeah, I know your pain.
I wait for few myself, having everything.
not that boon, common also
<- me everytime that happened
Yeah.
Hi guys
Hemlo
Hey, has anybody else had the issue where the victory screen fails to show previous clear records? I just got one where it said I had 0 clears on the other weapons, and listed only 1 on the weapon I was using
How do I unlock the secret aspect of the sword?
Thanks
This actually helps me as well.
I didn't know that, but it seems my ||upgrading of Zagreus aspects|| was a good decision.
Those aspects don't count towards I think
It does not specyfie it has to be others... and I think they do.
Cause otherwise, I would have only 3 in sword and still got the 4th.
Same with ||Coronach||.
||Bouldy||

|| I mean when you say it like that, he is a good boy ||
I love almost all of them 
almost
Also by extent ||shady||
Who is the black sheep?
There is no bad character
Cerberus is goodest boy and Bouldy is best boy
You blackguard
That one dude with the boulder isn’t really my favorite
Also || Thesus ||
I hate his dumb face 
I do love Eurydice
Dusa still best girl, I mean cmon
||Sisyphus||, huh? Well, I do like him. But that's fair, everyone has their opinions and likes.
Why is there an emote for
but not for the goodest of boys ?

||Sysyphus|| is so nice
I mean the boulder
That is the goodest


You can't pet
, so not the goodest boy 😛
Fair
Hypnos still one of my favorites in design and attitude
I wonder if Switch ver. gets any in-game achievements... but probably not.
|| They probably won’t get the achievement to pet the doggo 10 times ||
That's the biggest loss
I forgot tooo
Still... perhaps
Some games on Switch do have those in-game, like Hollow Knight and Ori, so maybe.
I want I lifesize cerberus plushy
I just like achievements, yes.
Also boulder plushy
That's literally a rock with eyes
I want I lifesize cerberus plushy
I want lifesized LIVING Cerberus

Imagine the pets
You know Zag is one of the only few that can pet him and still be alive to tell it?
Never pet the other heads
If it was MY Cerberus, then I belive I would also be one of them.
ugh. I wasn't running any deflect, so of course I faced a bullet hell final boss fight.
More like spear hell
Is it really bad if I want to trade one Nectar for a Titans Blood just so I can get the ||secret aspect of a weapon and clear that Prophecy?||
I've been trading all mine for that
go for it
you can always get more
Is it really bad if I want to trade one Nectar for a Titans Blood just so I can get the ||secret aspect of a weapon and clear that Prophecy?||
@queen wharf Not really. I've traded it a few times
You should do that.
I did something similar once, with a Prophecy that would give me a "profit" in terms of total resources.
also, I think you mean ambrosia. but the advice holds.
Is it? I just don't want to be bottlenecked, you know?
I wouldn't trade all
But you can do it very sparingly
I did mean Ambrosia
you need like 1/5 as much ambrosia as titans blood to unlock everything
@wind wedge I mean I'll get there eventually, but I just wanted to ask lol
Thanks for the input, people, appreciate it!
Well tried to speedrun and made it further than I thought I would
||Death at 23:39.62 (Hades 2)||
But to be fair the assistance in that run, atleast from what I could tell, was kinda really bad.
Is there a benefit to leveling all the keepsakes, or should I just go with what I like?
I don't think so.
Keepsakes power escalates with levels
completion
But the others just ^
yea
my tip is to max out the god boon ones
also what should i do next
a zeus and drunk uncle build
artemis and ares cast
or zeus and wave man
Also max the ones you like obvs
^
went back to my god mode save after around 10 hours of my new save and beat the game at almost full health without burning any dds, kinda nice to have that confirmation that my skills are actually better even if i keep getting stuck at lernie on my normal save
gud game :)
Nice m8
Is there a trick to getting legendary fish? I've nearly completed the codex for everything and haven't gotten a single leggo fish
are you getting perfect catches?
need to hit a catch within .32 secs to have a chance at a legendary fish
oic, didn't know there were different successful catches
hey my first victory over redacted. Athena's aid + Cursed slash did the trick.
It says perfect catch when you achieve it
If that's not a victory I don't know what is
Does anyone know if Hades on Switch counts time spent in menus (like when you press + and have the option to give up) as part of your clear time? I have some hand and wrist issues so I frequently take long breaks between stages so I pause
idk if time spent on the switch main menu is counted in clear time also
Is it possible to buy a song where Eurydice is singing in the great hall?
Or are they all Orpheus?
menu pauses the timer on pc, so i would think it does the same on switch
menu pauses the timer on pc, so i would think it does the same on switch
@flat vapor Cool thanks!
hey i have a hades controller question
is there any way to change the buttom mapping for menus and such
it only seems to apply for combat
What would you like to change for menus?
generally i use circle to confirm and x to decline in games
like how it is on nintendo consoles
or B to confirm and A to decline, from an xbox perspective
Hmm I don't think that can be remapped I'm controls itself
Technically you can use external software to remap your buttons on your controller
Then they will be swapped permanently
You can find remapping software just by googling
i had some but steam controller support was overriding it
i have since snuffed steam support
Then I'm out of ideas
You might be able to fiddle around in hades files but I don't know Jack about that
You could ask in the hades modding discord
can always use autohotkey and swap the buttons
about to try out ||Chiron|| bow. I think I have enough ||blood ||to put 2 points into it
it's very good against single targets but might have some issues against mobs
Dang, I don't know what I should invest my blood in first. any suggestions?
Chiron bow
It's amazing
I'm at 13 heat right now and I'm still breezing through everything
Oh man, reduces the special from 9 to 3?
but the real question is
do i buy the 180 gram vinyls cause fidelity is probably better or the 150 gram cause the color is cooler
i bought the special edition but here's a hot take- fidelity is the exact same between heavy vinyl or not and there is literally no difference except durability if you do a good job on color pressings
durability matters too though
heavy weight vinyl is absolutely a meme
not when it comes to the grooves
the vinyl is less prone to cracks
the last what again?
but the durability of the grooves is basically the same
yeah i meant warping lol
tons of incredible music was pressed onto garbage flat as a credit card vinyl and still sounds perfect 50 years later
Can you get Flame Wheels Release from the Well of Charon in the room before ||Elysium||
now yeah heavy weight vinyl is nice and generally should last longer, won't get destroyed or warp as easily
but nah it sounds the same
it's only purchasable at Elysium
yeah, other than fidelity, which i guess i was mistaken on, i meant warping
Like actually inside?
if you treat your vinyl records with any level of respect then heavy weight will never matter
i mean yeah if they have a designated spot that's fine
starting to run out of room again lol
as long as you don't leave them in the sun or stack them you're in the top 5% of vinyl record owners
yeah sometimes when people move and it gets left in their car for a few hours
or like
near a window with sun beating in all day
etc, it's pretty hard to mess up a vinyl record
not a chance
Does anybody know how I can blow up the underworld
we used to make flower pots from old vinyl records.. you make a hole in a center of big enough metal cap, put some thick wire inside, and put record above.. and then hang above gas stove, or use hairdryer.. unless it gets soft and then you can shape it carefully..
idk if i'm able now to move to a country where death penalty is allowed after that
honestly some popular records aren't worth anything, especially if they sustained any amount of damage so that practice is largely fine. you're upcycling at that point!
well, they were pretty cheap anyways.. mostly rerecorded from tapes anyway
after most people were able to get tape recorders, noone really cared about vinyl of that kind
especially when the quality was higher somehow
yeah a perfect tape should have as good a fidelity as a vinyl record, depending on if you use metal or not
also reel-to-reel leaves every other medium in the dust
so like tape is king, but records are a lot easier to print and sell
also records are way more fun
Hades does have save compatability between Epic store and steam yeah?
yep
saves your file to wherever your computer's supergiant root file is
not in the steam or epic store file
||So I've read that I have to invest 5 blood in aspects to unlock the hidden aspect||
||how does that have to be invested?||
||5 blood in any one aspect||
||or 5 blood total across all aspects of that weapon?||
including the cost to unlock aspects?
having trouble getting ||chaos to talk about my shield||
bought each of the other aspects and invested 3 in zag aspect
so that should be 6 invested
it's just total, unlock is RNG if you already have the requirements
Use chaos shield when talking to him, i found that it worked easier
ya been doin that
met him 3 times on one run
also, the first level of time trial for the heat challenges is like, totally meaningless right? 9 minutes is way too much time
I've heard that zag aspect doesn't count but I may be wrong
well, it stops you from taking some time, enjoying the view and stuff
Why is this game so addictive? All I'm doing is fighting the same bosses and killing the same enemies and what feels like the same rooms and yet I can't stop playing
for somebody it may be pretty tight anyway.. don't know, done it only once for achievement with Hermes' plume, dashing and screaming
This game is so effin' good. Supergiant you're a bunch of damn magicians.
hahayes
Somebody get zagreus a Powerade
good rogueli[k|t]e should be addictive, and they nailed it for this one
Why is this game so addictive? All I'm doing is fighting the same bosses and killing the same enemies and what feels like the same rooms and yet I can't stop playing
@teal badger Welcome to my world
can we please just start calling them "a rogue" or something because the roguelike/lite/rogue [space] like/roguelight is really starting to grate on me
what publication do i email to make this change permanent
or
lol
we can pick second game from a genre and make a new name
like soulsborne or metroidvania
Roguades, for randomly-/procedurally-generated games with "permadeath".
in my country people just call them "rogalik".. which also means "croissant"
@tulip ocean where did you hear zag aspects don't count?
hadeslike
I feel like these weird RNG things should have some sorta official guide cuz it's impossible to know what's working
wait, in "The Painful Way", there's a synth lead drone in the background.. but like that sounds a whole lot like darren's voice in lament. is it him singing??
well
maybe that's the thing only Darren knows
i upgraded 5 zag aspect on spear
never got the achilles talk
spent 5 titan blood in other aspects
and immediately got the achilles talk after that
thats my experience with zag aspect not working
it could be coincidence, i suppose
i wonder if it's a synth lead sampled from his voice, maybe he intentionally made ||orpheus sound like a synth lead||?
just seems unlikely
i only upgraded zagreus aspect for sword and got the hidden aspect, so it might be different depending on the weapon
yeah
that is a possibility
i havent messed with that yet
i think actually that is the case
because i only had 5 titan blood invested in sword and 1 was in zag aspect
uh, spear unlock is ||5 unlocked aspects, not 5 blood spent||
it's just queued conversations
did you check the pins in #h1-story-discussion
@round wraith I heard it in here that Zag aspects don't count, but I didn't really pay much attention to it at the time so I'm not sure how far back it is
I feel like the aim assist could use a little bit of improvement. it's so important for consoles and I feel like some weapons like the rail end up being not as good as they should be because of the inconsistency with aiming.
#hades-feedback is the place for that @brisk trail be sure to read the pinned messages in the channel first
"you do not have permission to send messages in this channel"
I feel like it over compensated and want to turn it down, personally.
yeah, that's sort of what I'm thinking. it'll swing to a random pillar or something. I'm finding it really hard to target ||the hellfire ball|| for example
I did, though I'm not in early access? is the intent for people to treat all feedback as early access feedback?
I feel like the early access rank part should be removed now
Or updated to be something like Owning the game
- To be able to post, first visit #bot-commands and type ?rank Early Access
this is the most important line there
yes. did you see my question?
that's more a question for the devs, I just mod the discord
ok. I'm just saying that, from a discord perspective, it's a bit confusing to have people sign up for the "early access" role if they aren't in early access. so people like myself may get confused.
It’s not something a mod would have access to. It’s whoever created the discord or has admin rights to it
ok. I guess that varies from server to server. for example, on a couple servers I've modded, I had permissions to edit channels in that way.
anyway, I will assign myself the role and go post the feedback
I'm still getting the message that I don't have permission to post in the channel
hey guys what's the in game screenshot key on pc?
Steam is f12 or Print screen button
prtscr didn't work
i'll try f12
F12 worked cheers
doesn't save in the save folder tho
Print screen puts the image of the screen into your copy
only save in the steam folder
Then you paste it into Paint or something to save it
I thought since the save folder had a screenshots folder
the game would have a key bound for taking screenshots
I'm still getting the message that I don't have permission to post in the channel
@brisk trail @granite ether
@brisk trail sorry for the confusion, I have briefly locked the channel
ah, ok. thanks for clearing that up!
It will be unlocked a bit later today
🙏
chaos pls just give me my ||beowulf aspect|| already 
he's not even saying important story stuff
Best.. Game.. EVER!
|| Lernie Vanquished || omg that's amazing
Did something change about rules for posting in Feedback?
Locked while it's being tinkered upon.
aha, thanks
Yeah, I got a kick out of ||Lernie||
Does anyone know if dodge chance is multiplicative?
it's effectively multiplicative yes
So diminishing returns the more boosts you have?
checks each dodge chance individually from what I remember
Ah, ok
so effectively multiplicative
so I beat EM3 Theseus, then on the next run I meet Poisedon
but he doesnt mention the Propecy
is it also random?
edit: wait, no, I'm a derp.
Dialogue is random.
So it might be a while till he mentions it.
Might be quite a while.
Yeah, it might take a little bit before he mentions it. He mentioned it immediately for me, but, ye.
Wiki says 60% but I have 60% already on level 4
75%
How do I aquire ||Gilgamesh fists?||
^ same question
@teal badger check pinned
Yeah, got buffed in 1.0
ran like 20 runs after 1.0
oh ok
thanks
i m not very good with fist, the range seem too close for comfort
Eh, I wouldn't force it. It'll happen eventually regardless, so just do bounties and such
I wonder if they intended the bow to primary be used as a point blank melee weapon
the bow is more of a melee weapon than even the fist
Chiron is the way to go
I heard Explosive shot+triple shot are real good point blank, but I haven't gotten the chance to try it yet
Never been a huge bow guy.
I mostly use....Hera.
Makes the special that’s useless at range on a range weapon, actually usable at range
🤷
Speaking of ranged weapons though I've been having a ton of fun with Hestia aspect lately
Dunno why I wasn't enjoying it earlier, but I guess things just clicked
Hestia sounds amazing
One shot sniper
But I like eris better for just the neat bonus damage
Yeah I've been using Eris for a long while, but the damage has started (at least recently) to feel kinda lacking, unless I got Eris boost+Zeus Attack+something like Support fire.
I'll be honest.
Once I fully leveled Hestia... I rarely go other rail variants.
It's just so much stronger and more fun.
yeah. that's essentially the essence of what I was trying to say about an hour ago. I think the aim assist should be tuned a bit better on console. too much of a gap right now between console and pc in terms of potential for ranged weapons.
I mostly use Hestia but I'm pretty sure Eris is the stronger aspect
higher damage ceiling and broken build potential at least
Hestia does feel nice and consistent tho
no reload is probly the best Daedalus upgrade
With the way damage stacks, I don't think it's got a better broken build potential or damage ceiling.
you just hold left mouse non stop
What, Delta chamber?
delta chamber is good now
speedrunners choose Eris over Hestia for all weapons speedruns for a reason anyway
ahh yes just got the passive HP regen duo. Victory is Guaranteed now for this 32 heat run
Unless you know the reason, I wouldn't put any stock in that.
well it can only be because Eris clears faster
just run away while your HP regen 😛
and that category is unseeded so they're not mapping out perfect Eris builds either
Well, speedrunners aren't infallible. They could also be wrong.
I haven't seen any comparitive numbers or anything.
yeah they're certainly not infallible
it's just more likely that top speedrunners are right vs your hunch about Hestia actually being stronger, no offense
since you haven't seen or crunched any numbers
would be cool if there was a Extreame Measures lvl 4 and you could fight Cerberus
well....
hmmmm

I think it's used more in speedruns (eris over hestia) due to the +% damage being universal over the first shot of a round being empowered so there's more opportunity to take advantage of increase in damage, especially when you pair it with something like Hydraulic Might
There is a Hades update on steam. Any idea what it's about?
I don't see any new posts in Patch notes channel
29 MB
most probably tech/bug fixes
Yeah there haven't been patch notes for any of the little updates since v1.0 as far as I know
I know the last update made xbox icons show up for some dualshock players tho
So that might be one of the fixes
For rail, i prefer the rocket the most
that run managed to actually be my final run before I saw the credits
|| I love how you get to finally ride Charon's boat down the river||
Steam achievement "Have at least one rank in each Mirror of Night Talent" -- I suppose this means both the Green and Red talents?
Cuz it doesnt seem to unlock and I have all the red ones unlocked plus a couple of green ones
yes, you need them all
okay, thanks!
you dont need to max everything, just have something invested in each one
oh does Epic Store doesn't have achievements right? I'm wondering if I should have bought it in EGS (which gives the devs a bigger chunk?)
I didnt know it was in EGS until after I bought it on Steam
EGS doesn't have achievements, no
Aw sad, I kinda like achievements for some games
why I prefer steam, in general
if I want to support devs I buy DLC, or gift additional copies
does anyone know what theme changes from the house contractor? the boon offering page looks the same, the menus look the same
So can you not use your ||summon|| during the last boss ||2nd phase||? I never tried until just now...seems like a strange limitation
also did something change w the feedback channel? Can't post there anymore though I guess with hades being fully released it's not as useful anymore
EGS does have achievements it's just on a game by game basis
Shift + F3 in game for hades should bring em up
little silly, sorry if this is explained elsewhere
does doing a Heat 10 run make you ineligible for unclaimed rewards from lower Heat ratings?
Nope
You'll get the lowest unclaimed heat bounties
@dusk mantle I was mistaken about achievements, see above
You cant use ||summon|| against him
You can use a few
is there any post credits story?
Yes
Nope
You don't need to upgrade them to use them against final boss
Only ||Bouldy and Skelly|| can be used against him iirc
how to do spoiler tags?
Put || before and after the text you wish to spoiler
|| around text
thank you
||like so||
do you know what 'theme' from the house contractor actually changes?
It changes the in-game UI
Haven't tried it myself but I'm assuming it's the UI
it changes the boon menu and win screen
That means the victory screen and boon menu
At the begining, or required some story?
Just finished the Hades documentary and the part where Amir was watching himself on the Nintendo direct was so damn funny
At the begining, or required some story?
What context?
not the boon offering right?
no
||summon against Hades||
Oh thanks guys, I usually forget to use my ||summons|| against the final boss and the only ones I tried were the two that work apparently lol - so it's not a ||phase|| thing then?
I mean you just need the specific summon, so some story is nessecary
Yup, only those two work in his fight
@granite ether @sweet cove oh thanks !
what does Summon button do?
that's actually great attention to detail when I think about it, hell yeah super giant
Also do becoming ||warden|| mean anything?
It's cosmetic
For which part?
what does Summon button do?
@smoky epoch https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/264/842/220.png
after you beat the game ||Hades says even Zeus would not be able to stop what would oocur if they found out about Persphone||
so what's he mean by that?
I think he is referring to ||Demeter's wrath||
so basically everyone is afraid of ||demeter|| ehhh
i interpreted it more broadly as ||the potential war between olympus and the underworld||
which would be headed by ||demeter, yes, but that's the bigger picture at play i think||
A sequel with her as the final boss would be neat
Ye, like Zag head to the mountain
Might wanna move to #h1-story-discussion guys 😅
btw
I still don't have the gun's fourth aspect
what could I be doing wrong?
I have all the conditions fulfilled :x
If you've met all conditions and are just waiting for the text, then its just pure rng
I don't seem to be getting the right triggers to continue || the sisyphus quest || . any ideas? I've got the prophecy entry, but the rest isn't happening.
I randomly get stuck on certain questlines too
I'll ask in tech support
Bought switch version just to see it on handheld while waiting for cross saves
ended up just doing it all again and getting farther than I ever did on the pc version lmaaaaooo
@smoky epoch https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/264/842/220.png
@fading gazelle I read that in mickey mouses' voice. Also Aphrodite is best girl.
You misspelled Dusa
You misspelled Dusa
@tawdry flower That's an odd way to spell Meghara
when you only have 5 hp and Thanatos comes to save you in the next chamber
i was the heirlooms had a tracker to see the current buff (thana's butterfly and herm's feather)
Also, it would be really cool if the crowd in the 3ed area would slowly change depending on how many times you win (or lose) to the duo
Meg is just a yandere
yeah
Dusa cares about you for the sake of caring about you.
idk if it's jsut me but I prefer girls that have a whole body u know
I mean having just a head
isn't really appealing to me u know
So. Question: when Hades’ portrait shows up at the start of the run with a line of dialogue and a single word on the screen
Does that MEAN something for that run?
I didn’t mean for romancing Dusa. She’s just best girl.
Or ||Persephone||
Tough choice for me i'll say
I will always love her in every medium. Like Lore Olympus
Than is a Tsun
lol you guys had the same idea
He is so tsun

I don't know. With most of the characters I feel Super Giant gave their own cool spin on the mythos and then Than is just.. anime reaper
Kek
How about Eurydice?
Treeson
ba dum tss
Eurydice is already taken
Orpheus
Orpheus
Why does everyone assume best girl must mean romance?
Ikr?
His dry humor in refusing to play the songs was some of the funniest moments in that game
Why does everyone assume best girl must mean romance?
@tawdry flower Why cant it?
Also the latest post in the feedback channel has the abbreviation EM4. What does EM stand for?
Extreme Measures
Extreme measures
aaaa right right
It's a Heat pact
Cause I’m just saying Eurydice and Dusa are wonderful. I can want Meg and Zag in a ship, but that doesn’t mean I can’t think the others are more wholesome characters
hi
I was very disappointed by the (charm spoilers) ||Hades charm just making you turn invisible.||
It's fun seeing all the supergiant staff online all the time on discord . And it's extra fun seeing them playing Hades
just bought hades cant wait to try it out
Greg is just playing Hades 24/7
Well that phrase began from people talking about which anime girl in harems they liked the most.
hi hi Sonic :3
just bought hades cant wait to try it out
@signal reef It is gonna be a hell of a game lol
I didnt expect the difficult curve
its not rly a curve
There is a difficulty curve?
imavoiding the test branch so my save data wont get screwed over
It was more of a line for me
I hate it when i Call and ||Hades turn invisible||
when you're 4 thousand hours into hades and you hear your first line of repeated dialogue:
Wow this game so lazy
it was alright until i hit the first boss
im not a roguelite people and i got my first clear in like 4/5th try
the second zone was a pain because of lava
Lava is always a pain
im not a roguelite people and i got my first clear in like 4/5th try
@carmine ravine then you are a prodigy
u can overdash a little and get melted
its done installing gonna play now
smh
im not a roguelite people and i got my first clear in like 4/5th try
@carmine ravine Press x to doubt
All the best
nice meme
You should be able to prove that you won that early.
You should be able to prove that you won that early.
Are u saying pics or it didnt happen? lmao
Basically
It’s one of the more difficult roguelikes (at least of the big ones) but the learning curve has far less walls than most
I’d put it behind Dead Cells but agree with it being second or third in roguelites
I love the voice acting in this game tho
so good
dont see people talking about it alot tho
It just left early access / had the official release two weeks ago
And Nintendo had two hyped up Partner Showcases showing it off
im not a roguelite people and i got my first clear in like 4/5th try
That's impressive! I was able to get it down on my 6th try, but I have a lot of experience with rouguelites
I am on my 30+ try and a barely have any experience with these rogue likes
It's honestly #1 for me. I've played a LOT of dead cells. and I think this game is better. dead cells is phenomenal, and definitely has some things it does better than hades, but overall, I think Hades nails the "fun" a bit more, which is probably the most important dimension of all.
Yeah definitely behind dead cells difficulty and curve wise, for overall content difficulty I’d put it between Gungeon and Isaac (isaacs endgame puts it above)
got stuck on the 3rd boss
You should be able to prove that you won that early.
@tawdry flower should be easy, agreed . a simple post in the victory boasting channel (which, btw, is a better place for such comments to begin with) showing the run details
quality ranking Hades is top for me, but will definitely fall if they end up not doing post-launch content
ah. yes, it's challenging, but not as hard as dead cells.
as that’s a large part of the genre
which is one of the reasons I like it more
dead cells can be absolutely BRUTAL sometimes
got stuck on the 3rd boss
you'll get there
I wouldn't hold your breathe for post launch content Coffee (at least imo anyways)
I stuck on Meg for so long haha
3rd for difficulty, 1st for quality for now
I'd agree with those rankinga
I wouldn't hold your breathe for post launch content Coffee (at least imo anyways)
I’m not, but it’s disappointing anyway
It’s a huge part of all the big names in roguelikes
and again, I think they are somewhat related. I think they nailed the difficulty. perfect balance of challenging, rewarding, fun....
Supergiant isn't the type to go with the norm
ehh difficulty is REALLY subjective
of course
some people think it's too easy some people think it's too hard
they do their own thing even if it's not a norm for the genre
Art style is pretty gorgeous tho
I’d say Dead Cells did a better job of doing difficulty ramping
I’m not expecting them do it; just hope they do
maybe a better way to put it is that I like the length of runs and how much you do in each run. I feel like dead cells runs are longer and more involved, making it more painful when you die. also, it can be a lot harder to recover from mistakes.
Can't play Hades, library in use :<
Hades you just gradually play around with one new bad thing
Having 3,000,000%ed Isaac 2 i can’t confidently put any non Dead Cells game above it on difficulty purely cause of its endgame and secret content
Have you gotten the true ending to Dead Cells?
I didn’t enjoy dead cells too much
So I didn’t play super far
But I’ve still seen enough from others to put it at the top lol
What didn’t you like about it?
The timed aspect.
Oh, you mean the speed doors?
mainly cells and the bossfights
Have you gotten the true ending to Dead Cells?
@tawdry flower I never knew games had fake endings
hehe
There’s usually an ending, and then the final ending when you fully beat the game
Oooh wait. the game had no DRM right? That means you can run it non-steam?
meanwhile; isaac 👀
Oh hot damn you can. Love supergiant.
I've heard so many good things about Isaac, but I can't seem to get over the graphics and randomly excessive gore.
Oooh wait. the game had no DRM right? That means you can run it non-steam?
@verbal violet Yea u might not want to give them any ideas 👀
the gore isn’t really “random”, it does have a purpose; but i can see why that would turn people away
He didn't say it was random tbf
Can you tone it down in settings?
no
yea alot of people can stand nsfw stuff but gore can be nsfl
Randomly excessive is a pretty accurate description of the gore in isaac
I mean besides the level that’s literally a womb; the gore is just blood splats when stuff dies
@eager path I think they're proud of the non DRM thing (as they should)
( #video-games )
Randomly excessive is a pretty accurate description of the gore in isaac
|| it’s explained that the excessive blood is another part of Isaac’s messed up imagination going haywire as he suffocates ||
As for difficulty: Life leech on sword for me has made the game tons easier and made me beat stuff I wouldn't have beat without.
Life on hit + hold attack to fast attack is just a win on low to medium heat
What I liked about dead cells and what lead to 250+ hours in it is that it was a metroidvania in terms of movement but as a rogue-lite. But the story was kinda just you piecing it together from lore.
What I like about Hades is that it’s basically Bastion as a roguelite with Greek mythology which is so many bonus points. Plus the voice work and art direction
|| it’s explained that the excessive blood is another part of Isaac’s messed up imagination going haywire as he suffocates ||
@hard pawn that is very much the sort of disturbing stuff that puts me off of it.
Hades is so well polished. I love all the dialog, art, characters...
it's definitely so much more than just the gameplay. and I think that's what elevates it from good game to "art"
Same applies to games like Celeste
I couldn't get into celeste either!
Whoops, said the f word.
I wasn't a fan of the frame perfect button execution. I felt like I could see the right answer for each puzzle pretty easily, but then it was just getting the frame perfect button inputs.
They actually programmed a bunch of wiggle room for the “precise” stuff
that is very much the sort of disturbing stuff that puts me off of it.
Understandable
There’s a thread that Matt did that discussed the stuff you wouldn’t notice that makes the game easier and less precision-based
One issue with hades tho: If you are in the lower bit of the frame (or enemies are) the walls don't turn translucent to let you see what is going on.
But I could get if it’s too challenging not getting into it.
I always forget to use the fated persuasion and ||||companions|| every run
I mostly use Persuasion to make darkness doors something else, like nectar
they're so scarce that I end up just not using them at all
I use the one that changes the boon rewards
@calm bone ||Companions|| are spoilers in this channel
wait. Ares' aid is 1.2 second turn into a blade rift, max gauge bonus is 5sec duration. That's just 0.2 second bonus for max gauge. What a ripoff.
Also how do you get them anyway?
ty ^_^
If you increase the rank of that boon, it lasts longer
No the level increases the damage.
Yes.
Raise your relationship with six specific characters
I mostly use Persuasion to make darkness doors something else, like nectar
that's Fated Authority @tawdry flower , Persuasion is the one that allows you to reroll offered boons, well items, pom level ups and pools of purging
all good 
what should i be using fated authority on
will a boon reroll into another boon
or is it just based on the blue/gold laurels
it's RNG
it's offered by either (?) god the next time you pick up their boon
well it didnt get offered
k
there’s two pools; laurel room and normal room; laurel is Pom, Gold, Hammer, and Boon; and normal is Darkness, Gems, Nectar (and I think Centaur Hearts?) @north pier
A room from one pool can only reroll within that pool
mini-boss rooms are garenteed to roll into another god boon (sans Hermes and excluding ||Styx||)
Yeah it can’t change the actual room so stuff that is always a boon like that will still be a boon
does each god count as "boon", so there's a 8 in 12 chance to get a boon? or is "random boon" just 1 in 3
I have no clue what you’re asking ngl
oh, no it’s just “boon” afaik
Also you only get 4 gods per run
kk yeah you got me haha
*4 plus Hermes
I've been trying to finish the slashed benefits prophecy but I can't find a burner, are they rare or something?
exclusive to Tartarus @tired mirage
you can get 5 + Hermes but it ain't common
oh true
yeah it would be nuts to get all of them, some of their synergies can get wild
i always assumed there was a limit but didn't know it was "4"
I could tell lots of dynamic spawns were happening to encourage certain synergies and stuff.
Couldn't you expand beyond the pool of 4 by using the god specific boons?
er trinkets
@granite ether I think you mean Asphodel?
I’m pretty sure the fifth can only spawn in ||an Erebus Gate|| as that’s the only place I’ve ever seen an extra god
Np np 
I don't do my runs for ||mom|| I do them for ||my shade fan||
@fading gazelle yes you can get up to 7 using a keepsake each floor besides the first (Theseus needs a buddy)
Wrong @ oop
Lmao I noticed
@buoyant merlin
It's alright
saw there was an indie game that was announced recently called skelly and was sad to see that none of the comments said "CMON BOYO"
you should right this wrong by making that comment ^_^
I’m actually not sure how using a keepsake on the first floor works, but I’m fairly certain it just guarantees that god is one of the four
When you use a keepsake of a god it replaces one of the gods in the pool (unless they were already in)
it's just that, the next time it generates a god boon, it guarantees the first will be of that god
so it can give a daedalus hammer first
but the next time it generates a boon, it will be that god
@brazen fjord Don't think so
Does anyone know if it'd be possible to edit my hell mode save to a normal save?
@brazen fjord I don't think there's a way in game to do that. Possibly by modding the files, but I'm not a modder
yeah and at that point it would be easier just to make a new save
i've made a couple new saves before, it really doesn't take long to catch up
@brazen fjord why do you ask for heresy?
whats hell mode? pc only? i dont think there's different modes on the switch version
when you start a fresh save you can choose "hell mode" at the bottom
you'd know
Going to try Nemesis sword once again. Hope I can get a clear this time
gl
hell mode = hard mode?
@brazen fjord i mean if you started in hell mode just keep chugging, you'll get better. but if you restart on normal it shouldn't take long at all to regain your progress
@brazen fjord depending on how far in you are
@tribal glade yeah it's hard mode, it forces certain ||pact of punishment modifiers that make the game permanently harder||
ok!
How do we max bonds with the gods?
You’ll have to do a favor/quest for them to unlock the last steps, though
So for artemis, ||i reached the "locked heart" phase- what exactly makes the story progress? do i just take more of her boons or is that not enough?||
Do I need to escape before heat does something in terms of boss drops, or just beat that boss with that weapon?
Seems Artemis is just RNG dialogue with her
You need to get 3 whole RNG dialogs from her about Callisto.
so you get that by taking her boons, yeah?
@verbal violet you need to escape
cause I already maxed hearts with her a long time ago
That’s how you talk to her, yes
@verbal violet yeah once you clear ||the heat requirement increases, then you need to clear again, etc etc||
||I thought you can get new rewards from bosses in a higher heat as long as you've beat them in a lower heat before? Since when do you need to have successfully escaped?||
Hm I guess putting on heat on weapons that haven't cleared yet is a bit of a waste, but then again it's an easy heat.
Do I need to escape before heat does something in terms of boss drops, or just beat that boss with that weapon?
@verbal violet ||0 heat rewards are separate from heat rewards. You'll get new bounties if you use heat but the blood redacted drops at 0 heat will remain.
From 1 heat and above you need to defeat redacted before new rewards unlock.||
i dont know the heat system yet, but is it worth it to clear with that weapon and then run again with the heat?
Refer to my above message @tribal glade
It's one of the easiest and fastest ways to get blood/diamonds/ambrosia
Each level of ||heat gives a new set of rewards from bosses. So you’ll be playing each weapons incrementally with heat||
It's the main way to earn those resources, really
what are the other ways?
Diamond/Blood can be a single run up till Styx
converting lower resources up the chain?
Trading also works
I don't really see how heat is confusing, ||each time you clear the requirement increases: clear that, then the next tier is a higher heat with the same rewards||
Trading and charon sells them in ||temple of styx||
Trade with the broker if you're made of gemstones
Is charon the only NPC who doesn't need rng dialogue to get all hearts?
Surprisingly no
10 gems > 1 Key
5 keys > 1 nectar
10 nectar > 1 diamond
2 > diamond for ambrosia/blood
So they are between 500/1000 gem stones for those ingredients.
He has specific grunts @raven meteor
I love the deals that give you those later ones for 1 diamond though
i mean, i honestly cant imagine what the specific dialogue would be... "hhrrrrnnnggg" vs "hhhhhnnnngggg"??
its when he goes into italics u know he's serious
charon goes comic-sans mode when he's happy
he almost says ||thank you in his final dialogue, it’s the only time that I’ve seen that he says something that isnt a hrrnng||
The renovations outside of work orders are all purely cosmetic right?
Yes
Some of them have fates attatched to them
^
Ah dang, vendor is offering me 1 diamond for 100 gemstones and I have no gemstones.
Rip
dang 😦
I'm calling the cops
FISH CASH
i havent figured out how to actually catch the fish yet
like, my controller vibrates and i hit the button and... nothing
so i wait and it vibrates a 2nd time and nothing
either way i cant figure it out
You're hitting it too early
There's a visual and audio clue
You gotta wait till it bites
just look at the top of the pole instead of the bobber; it flashes white on the actual bite
i think i got a "too late" without seeing or hearing anything the most recent time though 😦
oh ok that might help ty!
also the audio cue is more reliable than the visual ones
Question, are different fish completely rng or am i doing something wrong? I seem to get the same 1-2 fishes per biome
Perfect catch?
There’s a common fish, a rare fish, and a legendary fish in each biome, including ||chaos and greece||
Yeah. Have to hit the perfect timing
common fish can only be found on regular catch, legendary fish can only be found on perfect catch, rare is either
What is the perfect timing?
you have a very tiny window when a fish bites to get a perfect catch
if you hit the bite in under 0.35s you get a rare with a 5% chance for a legendary, it you hit between 0.35s and 1s you get a common with a 5% for a rare
It's like, just when the water splashes when the bobber goes down
That... seems almost impossible to catch a legendary
depends honestly
Oh hi there Tatz 
I get perfect catches almost all the time but I rely on controller vibration for fishing bc I react to it faster
I don't have that kind of reaction time, especially with slight lag
Also: Ironic that you can't say the F word in this discord considering that is like... 70% of what Zeus does. The randy dog :D
I use keyboard and mouse .-.
It's a family friendly server for all ages
I know, I know. But greek gods are very not family friendly.
@raven meteor The best advice I can give, is that the 4th bob will always be the final bob
Same.
no volty is saying if you get 3 fakes the 4th will always be a bite
And 3rd seems most often the one
