but ||they already adding more, check #test-branch-updates ||@sharp fossil
is naively hopeful
that's less additions and more balance/performance tweaks
tho i guess its not impossible they still add in a list of hammer upgrades
one can hope
I mean, adding a Boon list for Daedalus seems like a QoL change not a gameplay change
Which, if the 10/2 patch is anything, it seems that's the kinda patches they're doing, QoL
demeter cast build is insane
my game keeps crashing lately, is there a known issue ?
so, do I really need to ||die to asterius a few times to advance the Hypnos favor?, he already has bettered his ways and got praised by Thanatos, but no prompt towards Zagreus yet||
Yes you do.
rip
Oh wait.
Sorry, I misunderstood.
That's for the autograph.
Entirely unrelated to his favor.
Just keep chatting with Hypnos.
No chats from him in the last like 20 runs or so
And I already did everything else :D
You sure you don't have his favor already?
aight thx
Is there anywhere I can find icons for keepsakes with max leveled characters? I wanna use them for avatars in Steam
I mean I could crop them from in-game, but I'm not very good at Photoshop 8(
You might be able to ask in the modding server
Now that the game is full release will there be updates or expansions to the game or is it mostly bug fixes
"Now that Early Access is over, what's next?
Once we're sure our v1.0 launch has settled, our small team will be taking a break to recharge, and plan what's next. We'll be excited to say more about what's in store for us just as soon as we're ready."
from #hades-faq
Caught a Sturgeon
anvil might be bugged, u keep your previous upgrades as well
isn't it supposed to switch them out?
I'd love to have skins for Zagreus
I want to buy dlc for hades
^
Just for varieties sake I'd like to see Zag in some new duds
@hushed frost nope
EVEN MORE VOICE LINES
zag dressing up like achilles
zag getting gaudy golden armor like theseus
zag dressin up like dionysus and getting drunk wobbly sprite animations
shield nerf? 
I'd love if fishing was like, a bit more generous to people with how hard perfect catches are
That's about it
no shield nerfs
shield's definitely the best weapon, but I dont think it's so much better than the others to the point of needing a nerf
Chaos Shield specifically maybe
@hushed frost just to be clear, everything Zag does is a hand drawn animation composed of hundreds of frames. To make cosmetics for this game, the dev's would need to go back and redraw EVERYTHING Zag does from scratch to add ONE cosmetic for him
no chaos shield nerfs
they already nerfed it and i cried tears of joy when they un-nerfed it
Helloooo everyone. First time here. Very much in love with the game. My GPU died a week ago so I've had no Hades love for 7, ENTIRE, days. Phew...
I can't play the Test Branch as a result, and while I know SGG aren't always going to detail patch notes, I'm wondering if someone else has, maybe? Thanks! x
Alternate colors wouldnt need that much work IAmPhase but, any kind of new costume would be really rough yeah
@ivory walrus "Not much work" nice joke
So if I'm reading the test branch update correctly fiery presence doesn't work at all right now?
isn't it supposed to switch them out?
@ocean kayak anvil takes 1 upgrade, not all of them
Aww dude test branching the game!? That's gonna be awesome!!!!
@elfin breach on live, Fiery Presence is adding +50% damage instead of +100% damage at max. So it is working at the value it was pre-v1.0.
On the Test Branch, it's updated to be +75% damage, but actually functions properly. We are still testing that there.
does anyone know if there's an approximate timeline on when cross saves are getting released? bought the switch version day 1 but have been waiting to boot it up until i can port my PC save over
Aww someone removed my meme
Ah ok thank you
@latent kernel we are aiming to have Cross-Saves out in a patch this month.
Does test branch and live share progression?
awesome, thanks @zealous timber!
@lament blade -- we now have notes from some of the changes in the Test Branch in #test-branch-updates.
will mute sound when game in background ever get added? š
It wasnt needed before, since if you tabbed out the whole game paused, now after 1.0 the sound keeps going even tho the game still pauses
Bit of a weird interaction
Interesting question
@zealous timber Thank you mate!
yeah I alt tab or leave the game on alot, but yeah the ambient sound just keeps playing so I have to mute sound everytime
but if you said it worked for 1.0 maybe its just an bug atm then @tepid plover
Is this the right place to fanboy over these awesome devs? If not, can somebody point me to the right thread?
This is the right place
They are amazing aren't them
Such beautifully crafted games
yeah this game is amazing, legit the only singleplayer game ive played in the past 5 years
I play a few, this one is easily my favorite tho
I just want to give a big hug to all of them. I've been a fan ever since Bastion, but Hades is what made me finally want to communicate with them. What a stunning achievement. Beautiful, magical, and mechanically sublime.
Is it okay to ask a gameplay question that has a spoiler?
@earnest remnant & @tepid plover thanks! Glad you are enjoying our games!
I like how zagreus is calling the bone hydra Lernie at this point lol
hey all, I have a small question: what do the decorative themes do (from the contractor)
what are keys used for after having all the weps/mirror upgrades?
they are kinda expensive and I am afraid i ll waste the resources
oh thanks
@zealous timber All of you deserve a big, long holiday. :) Also, if you'd care to answer, what weapon do you default to in your runs (when playing casually)?
will not get them then
Any one of them is fine, I usually use the sword or the spear
The shield is fun tho
hey all, I have a small question: what do the decorative themes do (from the contractor)
@hardy blade is basically a cosmetic hud for your boon menu
what are keys used for after having all the weps/mirror upgrades?
@crude sorrel you can buy themes in ||Hades Room|| or house decorations for a boatload of them (I believe 200 keys)
Otherwise you can trade up at the Broker
Anyone else obsessed??
Me
Lowkey one of my favorite games of all time.
Same
Dude, it's ruined my productivity.
Me
@tepid plover You have excellent taste in gods.
Depends on who you ask
||Is it intended that damage dealt to enemies is bigger when standing in top-right quarter area of them? You can try it on Skelly. Don't know if I should report it||
Well top right quarter of skelly is his back
I like the way Dionysus has been written and painted, but Hangover always feels weird to me. Why choose it over something like Rupture from Poseidon or Jolted from Zeus or even Doom from Ares?
Well rupture and jolted are both extra boons
Hangover is a basic one you can get from start
Fair enough. But if I recall, Hangover damage can't be increased by a secondary boon. You can only upgrade it or mix it with a duo.
I'd love to know about them.
If you were to simp for one of the gods in this game who you simping for?
Def dio
hi sorry if this isn't the place to be asking this, i don't really join discord servers for specific games so i don't know the etiquette. am I allowed to promote my stream here if I am playing Hades?
Dio is at the very least gay if not fluid
In mythology he was raised as a girl so people wouldnāt know of his existence
ty ty
Thats the place
Also he is a god of fertility which is typically a goddess thing not a god thing.
Plus heās very feminine
And?
I would simp for Meg even though sheās not a god. Lol
No Iām just saying something about him
Ah
Nothing wrong with it
I'd simp for Nyx and Ares.
I mean, just look at Ares. How can you not simp for him.
honestly you could say everyone in the gameās gay and iād buy it
I just found this out about Dio because I did some research on him
I wanted to know more about him
ngl iām not gay
Well zag is ||bi|| for all we know
but ares tho damn
Ares and Aphrodite are a thing in mythology
yup zagās that for sure
Iām okay with Zag being Bi
whoops
I'm trying to date both Meg and Thanatos right now and someone told me Meg gets pissed off if you do that. Is that true?
i guess you canāt say poopoo
Ancient Greek attractions were more a matter of "Yes please" or "No thank you", with some nuance like "No and now I will turn you into a deer that gets ripped apart by your own hunting hounds"
...
No she doesnt
Zag loves all equally, ||men, women, floating heads...||
Thanatos was raised as a brother
Zagreus is just impossible for either sex not to find super attractive. š
Lmfoa that last one

especially the latter @tawdry flower
Wasnāt he?
for mot people at least
Thanatos was raised as a brother
@brisk trail so was meg, she's our stepsister technically

Not really
oh God
||She considers nyx her mother||
Zag was raised as one of Nyx's children, but it was clear they aren't related
I said step
Spoiler tag that Von
Ancient Greek attractions were more a matter of "Yes please" or "No thank you", with some nuance like "No and now I will turn you into a deer that gets ripped apart by your own hunting hounds"
or, in the case of zeus, possibly āyes and now i will turn you into a deer that gets ripped apart by your own hunting houndsā
Iām trying to date both Meg and Thanatos right now and someone told me Meg gets pissed off if you do that. Is that true?
@earnest remnant Meg and Thanatos are basically like ||cool, sweet, we a poly triad now?ā||
||neither is meg, but she considers nyx her mother as well||
i never even thought of that
I'm trying to date both Meg and Thanatos right now and someone told me Meg gets pissed off if you do that. Is that true?
@earnest remnant what I'm going to say is a major spoiler, click at your own risk ||you get to have a threesome||
||i just picked meg bc sheās cute||
No lies detected. Meg is cute as hell.
Lowkey all the gods, goddess and the characters in general are super shagable.
ye
Good pals, although in some aspects some don't trust each other
Guys how do I spoiler tag stuff.
use || on both sides or highlight your message
Put || either side of the statement
Make sure you put 2 on each side
highlght message and apopup shows you crossouts and spoilers etc
||Like this? ||
Yes
Cool, thanks.
good talk
||Not sure how many of you noticed, but Meg gets this super goofy smile on her face when Zag's mom praises her. I don't think that expression is repeated in the story. ||
She has the weird smile sometimes
Guys, how to unlock Poseidon's last heart? Also, for Demeter's last heart, ||it can only be done after Epilogue, right? But after a couple of runs, still usual talks, and her last heart is still locked, it's normal, right?||
@earnest remnant ||I saw her smile a couple of times too when having conversation with Zag on max hearts.||
Guys, how to unlock Poseidon's last heart? Also, for Demeter's last heart, ||it can only be done after Epilogue, right? But after a couple of runs, still usual talks, and her last heart is still locked, it's normal, right?||
@brisk trail for pos ||you gotta fish||
||Poseidon's favor requires using theĀ Rod of FishingĀ and successfully fishing up a minimum of 18 fish, and having caught at least 1 fish for that run prior to encountering Poseidon.||
Did they change this?
I remember it used to be ||beating theseus or something like that||
||But... I've fished like usual, 2-3 fishes each run, even accepted his boon on last 2 regions, but still no unlock. š ||
Ask in #h1-story-discussion
Yeah, ||there's a prophecy in which that that Pos requires me to beat EM Theseus too||
Alright
For Poseidon, ||itās 25 fish, 1 must be Legendary.||
Interesting, then then wiki is outdated
||25 fishes in total? But I've caught 120+ in total, and some Legendary too||
Mine might be a ||4th aspect then... hmmm||
||Is there a way to guarantee being able to rob Charon?||
So how much did you guys play of this game? Im already at 60 hours after like two weeks 
Is rng, and it ||cant spawn in the shop prior a boss||
I'm at 160 hrs, 90% of it was in alpha
i have like 315, but iāve been playing since the steam EA release
93.4hrs. 3 achievements left to go.
be me
be in menu
power flicker
lose all progress of run
rage
There was a way to recover a run during crash, in #h1-tech-fixes not sure if it still works
Holy crap I just realized how much I've been missing out with the secret weapon aspects
||It turns out you have to unlock the spear's weapon aspect first. I almost NEVER use the spear. I've finished the game and done like 20 runs after that and was still wondering when the hell I'll unlock them and it turns out I should've upgraded the spear.||
||I didn't realize you only had to unlock all weapons to unlock the aspect system. I thought you had to beat Hades at least once. Since I focused on upgrades with keys/mirror I didn't unlock all weapons and could've been using aspects for a while by the time I realized it||
Yeah
I didn't find much use for them hiddens, cuz they're too slow
like you set up a rather fast paced game and you tell me this ||excalibur|| does fine?
XD
I like legendary sword
It ||Does very high damage, slows down projectiles, and disarms traps||
I guess the trick is to use dash attack more and only go for the big slice on slow targets?
I usually shoot for Athena so I can deflect and defend my castle
Although, Artemis big damage
Some of the hammers get pretty redic...
I very muhc enjoy the spear, especially hades aspect
Just spin it right round
Give me flurry jab or give me death.
||Hades > Guan Yu||
Theseus is running some quick spin hammers
I said it the first time i joined this discord and will say it again. Goddammit this game is good. Thank you guys.
50+ hours of just smashing the enemies in hades
Hades is my game of the year.
Hades, "smashing enemies in WHAT, BOY?"
I'm kinda torn between Hades & Ghost of Tsushima. š¦
What weapon and aspect work best with Demeter?
Isnāt GoT $60?
Get Hades.
@brisk trail any weapon can
@brisk trail depends on your playstyle. Personally I like going after Demeter boons when I'm using ranged weapons. haha crystal beam go brrr
in proper build
Dem works on every weapon tbh. Some of the duos are applicable across
Can't really go wrong with chill
I saw some dude on Twitter already got the sword from Hades tattooed on his arm.
I mean the game has been in EA for... awhile
the bow, with chiron's aspect and special inflicting chill combined with 10 stacks exploding is how I beat the final boss for the first time

@brisk trail yeah, but the story and the details on that game puts other AAA to shame. Ah well, both games are my Games of the Year 2020.
@brisk trail https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETFo7GGWkAAMnYR.jpg that one?
Honestly I wouldnāt mind a tattoo from this game. Plus I love mythology Iām gonna pursue history and mythology as a career.
They really could use more gameplay content tho, then again this is Supergiant
@static wadi no I saw a different one
I want a collection of pins for the chibis
That is one dope tattoo
well this one is good too imo
How did you send an image?
link
link only
Oh
A cool fact about Hades! The Aspects werenāt even part of the game initially.
Makes sense, they were starting off
I mean, T-pose Zag was a hilarious screenshot to see
intially, Hades didn't exist!
i dont see
The year is 2050 I will be 48. I will have a career based in mythology and history. I will have a Hades tattoo on my arm from when I was young and foolish. I will have been waiting for more Hades content or anything for the past 30 years because itās my favorite game, but it never comes. I will forever feel this void thinking about the good old days when Hades was first released.
Darkest timeline.
Lol.
intially, Hades didn't exist!
@edgy bear At first, there was nothing, only Chaos!
nope
Probably wonāt happen
SGG isnāt known for making sequels
SGG tends to do one offs
They haven't confirmed or denied
Also the team is taking a well deserved break
Itās only a group of 20 people
They do a lot of work
VERY WELL DESERVED MY FRIEND
WHAT A GAME
Agreed Iām still playing
Itās my favorite game now
You just missed it but I posted this a few minutes before your arrival lol.

@finite orchid language dude
Agreed Iām still playing
@brisk trail i met this game yesterday and already reach hades, but i already know how it ends. And i rush here to know about news of a 2nd game. I really need.
That's why I put the *
Mods don't like dodging the word filter
also i'm sure his duck will strongly disagree
@brisk trail iām taking my time with it
Aahaha apologize I will delete it lol
Savoring it
I still stand by my words
Zagreus is probably one of my favorite if not my favorite game character ever.
Agreed!!!
His personality is so good lol
ok guys
pls explain me math
i have lvl 5 hestia
150 base dmg
i have mirror 1st alternative perk
+100% dmg
How are you supposed to dodge ||the green wave attacks when fighting hades?||
i have aphro attack +50 dmg
I try and i always get hit still
why it's 300??
Ah hmmm
Shield blocks them, or break them
@arctic umbra dash or destroy skulls
Isn't it base damage still
u can dash through them
what about || when hades himself gets to his 2nd phase and kicks out a huge wave across the screen?||
Hey everyone! What is considered 'quickly' with Hermes' keepsake?
Be prepared
@quasi olive u have timer
I've been able to dash over them, takes a bit of a timer
near keepsake
I must not time it right. they always hit me
For Lambebt Plume there is a timer under it
@arctic umbra yes you are
Do you dash into them or away from them?
into
@quasi olive u have timer
@static wadi oh, never Pais attention to it, thanks a lot! : )
I dash towards them straight, might be dashing at an angle and getting hit
*paid
@gusty slate if i have base damage 150
isn't 2x 150 = 300?
Ah I see what you're saying hmm
Imagine if this game got a comic/graphic novel adaptation. I would die and then empty my wallet for Supergiant once again
Roguelike isn't really good for comics I think, maybe if it's side stories
I mean it's fine if you just do the overarching theme with a buffed up Zag
Oh nvm I see
Pacing would be the greatest issue yeah, but a creative writer could do some miracles? beats me
21 dmg with fiery presence and basic aphro attack and 16 after that
so base rail dmg is 10
so fiery presence add more 10 damage
and
or not
afro adds 5
why the hell FP adds 50 only
not 100!!!!!!!
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/764191939896541184/764197026430713907/image0.jpg
I hope they release something similar to this for Hades. This thing came out 5 years after its release for $80. Or I hope they do a limited physical copy run of the game like they did with their past games. That would be years away though similar to the other titles if they did decide to. I already have a copy of the game but Iād be willing to buy it again itās that good.
Can you guys see the picture? Or does it not show it.
I crave Hades content 
@gusty slate lol
Weird, is fiery presence only 50%?
@sick folio You wanna know my dream? A Diablo-like ARPG sequel where Zagreus gets out of the underworld and travels through the world of Greek myth.
Holdon need to test a bit
i just did
spear Q deal 45 damage without any boon
and with FP it does 68
45+23
23 is 50% of 45
Yes, FP is currently bugged as it only raises dmg by 50% instead of 100%
............
Gotta be fixed to 75% actual value in next update, I believe
Good to know
why 75
Probably 100 was deemed too powerful once it actually worked
Hi! Could there be a specific feedback channel maybe?
I feel like it could be cool and less lost in the general chat š
@arctic quest it closed
oh
@arctic quest 2) Having concluded our Early Access development and launched v1.0 of the game, we will soon be closing our #hades-feedback channel. We will be locking and archiving this channel at around 5pm PST this Friday, October 2. Until then, we welcome you to leave any parting feedback about the game or even the feedback-giving process itself. From our standpoint, this channel proved to be a vital part of our Early Access development process.
lol i have Erebus gate, chaos gate and hammer next door
in 1 room
i wish i can split myself
@pure hamlet i don't know if you of SGG will read this, but i want to stand up and congrats you all for this WONDERFUL game, i just met it yesterday and im already a fan. And say i'm really happy to be alive to play such masterpiece. Congratulations you all. I haven't had so much fun with a game in years. If i can ask you something in the world is Hades 2, i will be very happy to play it. Anyway, thank you guys again for create it.
What's everyone's fave aspect for fists?
What?
it empovered only based damage are not empovered shot
was it nerfed that bad
shoulve choose chaos
cornado i like demeter aspect the most and you?
I like them all tbh
I've only chosen the magnetic one so far and it was ok
as usual I can wreck the game until I get to ||hades||.. then I get wrecked.
@brisk trail pls call him as redacted or final boss
im sorry
I haven't gotten to him yet but I think it was quite obvious
There are some Chanel to put ideas for future updates?
i beat the final boss, with the sword and the standard aspect
Magnetic fists are god tier. Sure, there are weapons that do more damage, but nothing feels better to play.
Ah ok thanks
||Hades is just too fast for me to dodge. I don't stand a chance without shield.||

And yes I try to get some Hermes boons to help lol
Y Will sugest they to put skins for zagreus and quest to obtain the skins
I always get the Hermes boons personally
i don't like Hermes boons. I usually get Dionisis, Athena and Ares
||Hades is just too fast for me to dodge. I don't stand a chance without shield.||
@arctic umbra make sure you get extra dashes from hermes. And dash into him, not away. Unless he's doing the 360 punishing sweep, which has a long tell.
I think the devs already explained why there'll be no skins, on Steam.
@brisk trail iirc they refused this
Demeter is my favorite Fist aspect
My favorite Fist aspect is talos
i don't like Hermes boons. I usually get Dionisis, Athena and Ares
@brisk trail I love Hermes boons. Extra dashes, higher speed specials, attacks etc. can win a run
I have my time rƩcord with It, 17 minutes
i got a 14:12 once with demeter
LoL so speed
my second fastest was with the hestia rail lol
I think artemis is the most op god in the Game
aphro is better imo
best scales
lot's of defencive options
like status
like def
like more hp
also her call is burst so hard
Yeah but i like artemis crĆtics š
I think artemis is the most op god in the Game
@brisk trail imo is Dionisis, that poison is so OP
i mean why do u want CHANCE for big numbers with Artemis when u can have 100% big numbers with Aphro?
But aphrodite is the only godess i have quasi in full hearts
sorry i'm kinda bad with english
i mean why do u want CHANCE for big numbers with Artemis when u can have 100% big numbers with Aphro?
@static wadi but aphro power isnt make enemies damage lĆder?
i dont understand last
Well yes but no
But is Closer than rusian
How i can do yo make Big numbers with aphro?
yes she makes enemy damage lower which is great def option
@brisk trail well for example
you base Q damage is 50
if u take artemis boon for Q
it become 60
Aphro has highest damage increases on primary boons
with chance of crit
I'd assume if you just want big numbers artemis
and if aphro - it become 75
Cause of crit multiplier
My time rƩcord is with artemis talos fists
i didnt say artemis is bad
i think DoT is better than DPS in Hades. You can apply the debuff and keep doing damage while you evade attacks or heal on Daedalus perk
i had some dirty runs with her
but artemis only gives you dmg
aphro gives u not only dmg
I'd assume artemis is less dps and more burst damage
i think DoT is better than DPS in Hades. You can apply the debuff and keep doing damage while you evade attacks or heal on Daedalus perk
@brisk trail what is DoT and Daedalus perk
but lots of def options
I have the Game in spanish
Damage over Time
Dyonisus
But dyonisus poison do so low damage
You have have to build around it
if you stack 5 is a pretty decent damage i think
@brisk trail pom it u
But that goes for almost anything in any game
@brisk trail or even 8
Hi guys, why the Switch version is not updated to 1.36211?
Sucks when you lose like that
For curiosity what are your Max Heat level, mine is 16
It's a pc game forst
lost only cus of|| EM4|| with bow is horrible
Console updates usually take longer to roll out
Hi guys, why the Switch version is not updated to 1.36211?
@wispy terrace this versión exists?
Because they have to be adapted and approved again
@brisk trail yes, on PC
And what is new in these updates?
Just small bug fixes
Ah well
Look at #hades-patch-notes
And what is new in these updates?
@brisk trail go to hades-patch-notes
But i think they have to put all the editions in the same update
Dyonisus
@quaint hatch im sorry here in brasil his name is Dionisio, and i type it wrong
Here there isnt any english native speaker XD
I'm german
It's also written differently for me
@quaint hatch how is it called?
his name
?
Dionysos
I don't even know it right in my own language rip
Aphrodite duo for more stacks
@quaint hatch that boon i dont know about it, how it works?
if someone wonder it will be ŠŠøŠ¾Š½ŠøŃ in russian)
dionis?
It just let's you stack 8 hangover
pretty short
@brisk trail weaked enemy can have 8 stacks
if someone wonder it will be ŠŠøŠ¾Š½ŠøŃ in russian)
@static wadi i POV i Dont know read russian
@brisk trail it's just Dionis
if someone wonder it will be ŠŠøŠ¾Š½ŠøŃ in russian)
@static wadi Dionysus
but not daionis but like deeonis
More stacks are more dots
@brisk trail also ares dio duo make poison ticks faster
i really love that poison on my Sword basic attack
But you want a weapons setup that lets you regularly apply all stacks
Chaos shield f.e.
Nvm I can't read
@brisk trail also ares dio duo make poison ticks faster
@static wadi and i like DOOM damage on Special attack
@brisk trail it may be good status
The wiki says that Hermes's boons can't be first chamber rewards, but some of us have seen elsewise. Is the wiki just wrong, or was that a patch?
@crisp zodiac wdym you saw hermes in 1st chamber?
That should be to introduce HermĆØs
They are talking about the first area
Tartarus
Hermes can't be a first chamber reward
Because the first chamber in tartarus is the first chamber
cus he is not fast enough)))))
?_? Wait, the wiki is referring to the first chamber that isn't the entryway, or . . .?
'Cause my friend just started a run with Side Hustle, and I've done that too, so then, that's just wrong.
What do you mean by start a run
If I switch to a God keepsake in the middle of a run, will it cause that God's boon to spawn next, or does it only work at the start of the run?
You leave the courtyard, potentially see a cutscene, and then teleport into a chamber.
Only at the start, Succubus.
Yes
Damn. I wish that was clarified.
It is
When you enter that chamber from the courtyard, you are immediately given a boon or hammer.
yes
My friend and I have witnessed said boon to be Hermes's.
I doubt that
what is bs?
Pretty sure you can start with Hermes as like once ever as an introduction to HermĆØs
My friend and I have witnessed said boon to be Hermes's.
@crisp zodiac
That is bs
Wow, screw you guys.
Three of us have seen it.
"seen"
I don't know you guys
Eye witness from people I don't know gives me nothing
hey all, please remember to keep it civil.
@crisp zodiac please don't try to evade the word filter
But I'd like proof
All three of us are helpful, civil, long-time members of a good community. I can't blame you for not knowing that, but defaulting straight to "that is bs" is rude.
ok enough
hermes can spawn in the first room of a run as part of the scripted event of his introduction once, and in the first room of asphodel instead of the boon you forced from a keepsake
it's sensless
Thanks, Alma.
How you formulated it it sounded like you meant it outside of that scripted event
I never said anything of the sort.
All three of us are new players.
One of us is on his, what, sixth run?
You're not exactly setting a good example for the community. This is why I came here as a liason, rather than blindly suggesting we all check the same Discord.
Tf
Woah what is happening here
hey let's all move on, this isn't a productive conversation
Yeah, it's over. I've stated my piece.
As I said multiple times
I don't know y'all

I'm not trying to be personal
š okay, so?
So, Zag can't lift rite
Well, rather that the weights he ordered are a lil' overboard for him
Man can dream
Some weapons look like a good 80kg and zag swings them like crazy, let alone lift
Don't need muscles when you got a giant f off laser
Wait. So if you switch to a god's keepsake in the middle of a run, like going from floor 2 to floor 3, you'll get that God next? (Hermes aside)
Should be
Yes
(or you purposefully skip some of them)
Okay, because someone else just said it only works at the start. I know each run has a pool of Gods, I was curious if the keepsake allows you to 'escape' the pool if you're not getting the God you need.
Yeah you can. The gods pool will be still messy but you can always force the gods you want like that
If I recall it kicks someone out, I forgot I needed to test that
A lot of runs feature tartarus and asphodel using 2 gods keepsakes
If you were at cap
hey, and you know why force a god doesn't work sometimes?
When does it not work exactly?
I think that the confusion in my observation, @void mural, comes from the appadent fact that a keepsake won't refresh its affects on a regional basis; you have to explicitly switch to one for it to work.
Hermes is 2 fast
Sometimes hermes is faster
sometimes hermes get first and i hate it
or i equip Ares item, and i get Coins and Heart
Ah yeah the keepsakes have 1 use, which is denoted by the counter under it in your boon menu
@brisk trail trinket doesnot gurantee you 1st room is boss
aaaaaahhh
it guarantee first god is one u picked
Yeah as long as the counter is still at I/1 you're good
Yeah that happens
I start Athena keepsake in Tartarus usually if I really want her
So Fastboi can't interrupt
i always start with Dyonisus, so if i get a Pom i can upgrade it damage
i always use Hangover basic attack and Doom special.
I try to avoid athena dash now
Usually only use her for me now
Cause that's all she's good for kappa
Lightning Rod go zap zap
Yeah, that doesn't change the core gameplay of "zap zap" however 
My core gameplay is press L2 for cuddly boulder
i never use shot or call hahah
@brisk trail cast u mean?
Missed opportunity
only dash, special attack and basic
I've gifted Hades once and didn't realize I needed to do it a second time for his boon. His second heart is now locked in the codex and I don't have the option to gift him again. Do I need to do something to unlock it, or is it locked after your first successful escape? Wiki wasn't helpful for this
Story progression
Thank you!
lads, any reason i havent gotten the "get all keepsakes" achieve yet? ||does hades have a keepsake?||
Aka just do runs
||Yes||
thats it then thanks
Also how many times have you escaped the underworld?
It's fun because it's extra secret
Me? Once
Hmm I think like 20
and beat the final boss?
Did you get to the part where ||Persephone returns||
yessir
@brisk trail Thats escaping the underworld
if you dont beat the final boss it isnt an escape
Then you just need to keep talking to him
okay, thanks!
Hades is rng dialogue the game
what chamber is the champions?
yeah yeah u are right
champions is the ||final boss for elysium||, no?
yes
Yes
36?
Around 40
Maybe 34
lovely
Really?
xD
Huh
3 numbers
Indeed
Well nobody knows xDD
I usually think of 34 as last encounter
Then preboss rooms
Assuming you haven't gone into Chaos/Erebus before other prebos rooms
wiki says 36
Yeah it's got to be 36
Tartarus is 14 (12 encounters)
Asphodel is 24 (8 encounters)
||Elysium|| is 36 (10 encounters)
ok 36, thank you
Note that erebus rooms and chaos rooms can frick with this.
Yes that i know
Can I beat the crap out of the house contractor for a loyalty card?
Please I know you're the ||strongest|| shade around
Why else would I give you a table upgrade!
No one touch housie
i love the chef he blushes when i bring him fishies
You know what else is mean? Diamonds for soundtracks
GOD
i get a diamond like every few runs how am i gonna get the 5 million i need for all the soundtracks
Also broker
And why 5 diamonds for a bland shortcut to lounge? At least make a fancy door frame
I'm wiping my ass with diamons lmao
I hate/love this game
Bat cage is my favorite
I must be the only person who thought the poms look like pizzas

Oh I never read them lul, I just said oh pizza gives +1 ezpz
no i meant visually read
reading in that context just means looking at smth and identifying it as something
tho to be fair the pom slice does vaguely resemble pizza
i thought you meant the whole pom like ???? its just a pink circle i am so scared
Oh I did that too
The slices were added later, thought the big ones were full pizzas
incredible
finally unlocked spear aspect
Pink pizza c:
I bet they'll try that sometimes
Nice, I struggle with the legendary spear
pomegranate on pizza honestly doesnt sound that bad
Heh, even more incredible is that I still call them pizzas to myself
i fear no god
so question
how many diamonds do you need to unlock everything
but this little thing in Styx
either sonic is god or could kill god
you only get 126 from ||pact heat stuff|| so if stuff requires more than that how the heck do you get it
@raven lava 50 only for 1st
Less than 126 though I believe
Although you get some from prophecies
I never kept track 
no?
||20 heat levels of bounties plus initial clear, multiplied by six weapons||
||that's 126||
Oh, I meant the total required
You can trade for those
50 1st 0 2nd 11 3rd 16 4th 1 5th and 55 for music
???????
133 i guess
Would make sense then, full bounties and prophecies
thats such an amount
I'm more of a disco ball guy
Isn't there also ||prophecies|| for diamonds
Yes
@raven lava if i count it correctly
i was worried because i heard you end up having to trade for the last bits of titan blood
133 is enough
wish me luck on ||champions|| with little a bad build
and i was hoping it wouldn't be the same for diamonds or ambrosia
Or I could just ice out my shady
Good luck, you got this! š
thank you!!
You don't need to censor champs btw
I think Titan Blood is the worst one, the others aren't too bad
Also best of luck
Theseus is a cool guy
every time he opens his mouth i consider destroying him
one of these days ill permanently destroy him
i enjoy using greater artemis call on theseus and shutting him up right after he gets divine aid
I think he's a fun shade 
him going
you really think you can defeat m
and then before he finished i had killed him
like
burn him down to half health
wait for him to call on a god
use greater artemis call
he dies
it was very satisfying
@quaint hatch u cant(
theseus always gets a god you don't have
he always use god u have no
he walked out of my summon
sad I actually like Theseus noises
Jk obvs
Does Hermes' keepsake scale depending on the 'difficulty' of the room, or number of ennemies, or both? Do we have a detailed explanation regarding how the time allotted is calculated?
I'd think so too
Would be unfair if it didn't
All I'm told is I gotta go fast
All I'm told is I gotta go fast
@gusty slate haha, yes I know, I'm just curious about the calculations behind it.
speed go fast!
It probably has set times for each difficulty of the room
Normal, elite, miniboss, boss, that is
I think it is my favorite keepsake of the moment though...
It probably has set times for each difficulty of the room
@cloud apex don't you think that it has to take into account the number of ennemies spawni g too, rƩgion etc too?
Sorry, autocorrect...
I do, but it certainly doesn't take in account 15 witches that spawn 1 by 1 so might as well not consider the rest
But if it doesn't then it becomes unfair compared to rooms of the same 'level' with arguably easier monsters to defeat all spawning at once, because this room would be much easier to clean faster...
I know I'm splitting hair here, but I'd just like a mathematical explanation, or something, although I realize I probably can't right now... xD
Doesn't look like someone has looked into the code for that
?
Is it actually possible to check the code?
Some things have been checked apparently
like the fishing time
<0.34 s for perfect catch
Oh cool! I'm new to the game, and the Discord, so I'm kind of discovering everything! : )
I actually thought that fishing rewards were based on the region... xD
So it's mainly based on how fast you react?
And some RNG
I think it's 5% for legendary at perfect catch?
that number might be wrong though
OK, I didn't know, thanks! : )
Holdon,
Less than 0.34 second: Perfect catch. Guaranteed to catch a Rare fish. 5% chance to catch a Legendary fish
0.34 second to 1.0 second: Catch. 5% chance to catch a Rare fish.
After 1 second: fail with a "Too Late" message.
The % might be off though
Rewards are based on region and rarity
Awesome!
And as new player chat says, max of 3 nibbles, the 4th will be a catch you don't want to mis
Favorite weapon?
So dad I have unlocked the spear, shield, bow, and sword. I have tried them all, I much prefer the shield.
"So many weapon... The deadliest is you faith"
Spear was my first clear on my new save though lol
currently eris and bow are my favorites
I had ricochet spear, hitting through walls is great
I like that the shield can block but I wish it did more damage
currently eris and bow are my favorites
@flat vapor ranged weapons players WeirdChamp
I like that the shield can block but I wish it did more damage
@brisk trail it does a lot of damage with good build
Merciful end or hangover chaos shield
Does a lot of damage
Explain
Depends on aspect too
@brisk trail Choas aspect max lvl
I just did
I like Zeus aspect
Chaos shield elites
u charge attack, and release ur Q after that
I believe in chaos shield superiority
but for base shield, there are some nifty hammers
I identify as chaos shield
if u have enough skill ur insta proc 5 poison stack
Is that a fetish?
No being his wine glass
What are the conditions you need to be able to purchase the anti flame wheel selection from charon's well?
nope it only pops up in elysium wells
Guys whatās the best keepsake?
Last one I need for the thing and it's been driving me crazy for like 10 runs lmao
What do you define as best?
Guys whatās the best keepsake?
@brisk trail acorn
Zeus really just told me he tried to help my dad find a more wholesome type than Nyx and how sheās the closest to a Queen (the others are ugly heās implying) down here. Tf. Stfu Zeus your the biggest ho in Olympus.
What does Zeus know about being wholesome 
Dude canāt keep it in his pants.
Have you hit the Artemis Zeus duo dialogue?
No.
i did)
It's amusing
most of duo dialogues are funny
Ah, yeah the duo dialogues are hilarious in general
Wholesome my ###
@brisk trail relax dude there may be children in this channel
so you have chosen to perish, theseus
