@hushed hamlet ||heat ||is a spoiler dont forget

tawdry flower
#

Camping the fight doesn’t work too well when you start doing time-limits

hushed hamlet
#

oh sorry how do spoilers work again its brackets?

karmic venture
#

||

static wadi
#

@hushed hamlet also what is your problem with that?

tawdry flower
#

|| on either side

hushed hamlet
#

|this|

#

?

tawdry flower
#

Two

static wadi
#

no 2 in both

hushed hamlet
#

oh

#

gznm ||I had such a problem with Heat 8, so upping it to 16 I would probably have to turn on, dmg control, trap dmg, super mob speed right||

static wadi
hushed hamlet
#

Thanks!

tawdry flower
#

Work yourself up to ||EM3 or EM4||

static wadi
hushed hamlet
#

Any of the non-||god trinkets, like butterfly or plumb|| that would be good for higher runs?

static wadi
#

@hushed hamlet i do not think so

#

it's hard to avoid damage or kill them fast

hushed hamlet
#

gznm thanks I'll try it out

golden lichen
#

||Who should I focus on between Theseus and Asterius?||

static wadi
#

@hushed hamlet ||tbh i didnt beat 16 but 15 was so easy so i see no way i fail it||

tawdry flower
#

@hushed hamlet ||Persephone|| is always good

static wadi
#

@golden lichen bull 1st

hushed hamlet
#

I go with Bull first

tawdry flower
#

If you want, trade out before Styx for something like extra hearts / death defiance

golden lichen
#

Hmm fair, does ||Theseus|| start his ||god aid nonsense|| after a certain time in the battle or after he loses certain amount of health himself?

static wadi
#

u stay away from theseus hiding behind columns

#

@golden lichen after 50%

tawdry flower
#

After his halfway health mark

hushed hamlet
#

There is only one time I start going after Asterius first and its when Im stocked with full bars of aid and etc

#

oops I mean Thesus

#

or err jerkface

#

I hate King of Athens

golden lichen
#

I freaking start losing it when I have to deal with essentially three sets of attacks 😂

tawdry flower
#

You don’t want a bull charging at you while avoiding God assistance

static wadi
#

@golden lichen stay behind

hushed hamlet
#

Bull Charge isnt that bad

#

though, Just lead him to the pillar

karmic venture
#

Hydra with god assistance would be dope

golden lichen
#

Yuh I at least am using shield so I can deal with the charging

#

As long as it's not the version with ||the skeletons popping up left and right||, god assistance would be cool

#

I'm censoring just about everything I consider could be a spoiler to somebody xD

static wadi
#

ok u inspired me for ||16 heat|| run@hushed hamlet wish me luck

hushed hamlet
#

Has anyone tried ||32 Heat Runs? would that be all of em on||

#

YESSH

proper quiver
#

I've been to Chaos like 50 times since 1.0 came out and I've only seen a fish there once...

#

I don't think I'll ever complete that part of the codex

static wadi
#

@proper quiver well Chaos fishes are... chaotic

tawdry flower
#

@hushed hamlet max is either 59 or 64 or something like that

static wadi
#

59 no?

#

or 67

tawdry flower
#

I didn’t remember exactly

static wadi
#

same(

tawdry flower
#

Hence “something like that”

#

The point is that it isn’t 32

static wadi
#

btw what|| does pink circles around enemies do? pact bonuses||

tawdry flower
#

You mean the ||Pact thing to give Armored enemies special abilities||?

static wadi
#

oh great no special upgrade for hammer(

According to the Wiki, that’s the ||Linker|| I think

Hades Wiki

The Pact of Punishment is a contract provided by Hades for the purpose of making Zagreus' escape attempts even more difficult while earning valuable rewards. In a regular playthrough (save file), the Pact will only appear after the Final Boss is defeated at least once, and Zag...

#

About fishing, if its a perfect catch, does the Rare with chance of legendary still apply

Mine died because he was ||so bored|| this evening for me

barren ocean

i wonder how many unique ends there are

static wadi
#

@barren ocean afaik there i||s one special when u made all of them||

#

i just had it some runs ago

hardy escarp
#

How do I learn to play the lyre

flat vapor
#

interact with it a lot

hardy escarp
#

ohhhhh my god

#

seriously?

flat vapor
#

by a lot, i mean ||over 200 times||, so i recommend just doing some in between runs

barren ocean
#

^

#

And talk to Orpheus between runs if you see a dialogue pop up

static wadi
hardy escarp
#

oh buddy

#

ur on a timer so I would say no but eh what do I know

static wadi
#

yes 1st timel

#

ah what?

#

2nd build is awfull

#

3rd it's already elisium so i have no much benefit ftom it

hardy escarp
#

Guys I think I have a problem

#

I played this game for 10 hours today

static wadi
#

see no problem here

hardy escarp
#

This game captures the essence of "Just one more run" better than any rogue like I've ever played before

static wadi
#

well it's always intresting - "what new can i find"

crisp zodiac
#

Got the credits roll sequence! Ooh, that song is blood-chilling.

static wadi
#

lol Smashed Theseus with bouldy till death

#

best death

#

@crisp zodiac good song right?

crisp zodiac
#

So good.

tawdry flower
#

I keep forgetting about ||companions|| and that I can use them throughout

static wadi
#

@tawdry flower u have tip in battles

tawdry flower
#

I just forget I have it anyway. I’ve tried making myself remember to use it at many fights. I tend to end up with 3 or 4 unused ones when I reach final boss and can’t use them all

static wadi
#

well i prefer bouldy

#

it heals

#

also there is 1 trick i use vs secret boss

#

coins and darkness blocks his purple wave

tawdry flower
#

That’s the one I use. I just forget to use it.

gray sun
#

What font does Hades use for dialogue sections?

dense folio
#

I somehow made it all the way to Styx without a boon in my attack slot or special slot

tawdry flower
#

RNG will get you every time

static wadi
#

yay ||16 heat!||

#

awful run tbh

void plinth
#

I have finished giving Dusa the max amount of Ambrosia but I haven't gotten the bond forged message is that a glitch

static wadi
#

huh Dusa voice is changing later in game

#

@void plinth mb u will have more dialogues later

void plinth
#

It's been 30+ games since I finished though

#

Everytime I've seen Dusa she just has generic dialogue

static wadi
#

rng

carmine ravine
#

do u have the badge on her keepsake @void plinth

dense folio
#

before I go into the final boss fight does anyone have advice for it?

static wadi
#

@dense folio kill him

void plinth
#

@carmine ravine what badge?

static wadi
#

and dont get killed

carmine ravine
#

bond badge

dense folio
#

fair.

void plinth
#

The icon with the cute drawing, no

#

@dense folio the skulls will be annoying

static wadi
#

lol why am i not surprised Athena dash is most popular my boon - 44times

carmine ravine
#

the skulls is the easy part wdym

static wadi
#

Pressure Points and Hermes money is 2 and 3

brisk trail
#

Yo the bounties are not the same

static wadi
#

@brisk trail ?

#

same

carmine ravine
#

yes @void plinth

brisk trail
#

I'm suppose to get ancients blood, but i got darkness when tisiphone

#

was killed

#

is this a bug?

static wadi
#

@brisk trail ||it means u alredy beat her in that heat lvl||

void plinth
#

@brisk trail ||you have to increase the amount of heat||

brisk trail
#

it's level 2

carmine ravine
#

you can only get the rewards once, per heat level

static wadi
#

dont forget guys ||heat|| is spoiler

carmine ravine
#

only for new players channel

brisk trail
#

i mean if the heat bar is full it means i haven't right?

#

new players is different channel

static wadi
#

@carmine ravine for this too

#

@brisk trail did u beat all bosses?

brisk trail
#

ok

void plinth
#

Is it though? I've seen articles about it, by that point it should be known to even non players

carmine ravine
#

if u dont beat the final boss, u still cant get the stuff before if u already got it before

#

only new players channel @static wadi

brisk trail
#

yup ok

#

let me see

static wadi
#

lol even channel description says no spoilers

carmine ravine
#

spoilers is ||hades||

#

the heat itself isnt

static wadi
#

@carmine ravine last boss and all things after last boss

carmine ravine
#

no

static wadi
#

yup

carmine ravine
#

assk the mods

void plinth
#

Can we get a mod here?

static wadi
#

well it's not my words

carmine ravine
#

yep, mods only say its only spoilers for new players

static wadi
#

well u r not mod sorry

carmine ravine
#

oaky

signal spoke
#

If I recall correctly the most recent rule of thumb was anything involving the final boss or endgame content, as well as spoiler content related to 1.0 should be in spoiler tags or the appropriate channel. However, casual mentions of ||Heat|| without spoiler tags show up somewhat commonly here in passing, so I don't think it's a big deal to do so. The more important thing is to keep in-depth discussion on the matter in their respective channels.

void plinth
#

So a discussion on how the rewards work ok?

gritty ocean
#

idk what ||heat|| is cause i have no context for it but so many people are talking about it

old tinsel
#

Do supergiant have any events scheduled? I know they mentioned taking a break after 1.0, but I just hit the end credits and it has quickly become my favorite game. I feel like the games overwhelming success they have to follow up with more content.

static wadi
#

@old tinsel lol it's not the end

signal spoke
void plinth
#

Sorry I meant, like the guy was asking for clarification, he wasn't sure if the feature was a bug, that sorta thing?

signal spoke
#

In that case a quick clarification in spoilers was the right way to go about it in my opinion.

void plinth
#

Ok

hushed hamlet
#

gznm how did your run go?

static wadi
#

well i won

#

easily

#

but i didnt like the build

hushed hamlet
#

ooh

#

whats the build

static wadi
#

i made it only in styx

#

my fav

#

Dio Chiron

hushed hamlet
#

ah

static wadi
#

wow ares Leg 13 room

brisk trail
#

I keep giving Meg all of my nectar nectar

#

I want to romance her

hushed hamlet
#

psh you should be going for Tis

#

Mmmmmmmmmmurrrrrr

dawn linden
#

Oh god

brisk trail
#

The other sisters are insane and you can’t romance them.

dawn linden
#

Not the romance

#

Oh no

hushed hamlet
#

for now

#

maybe a Supergiant patch

#

in the future

dawn linden
#

Alecto tho

brisk trail
#

I doubt it the game is pretty much complete.

static wadi
#

romance Bouldy

brisk trail
#

Unless we get DLC perhaps.

static wadi
#

romance Lernie

dawn linden
#

I’m pretty sure she would just kill you

carmine ravine
#

hmm alecto romance

dawn linden
#

Na Leanie has a family

brisk trail
#

You already know Meg is the dominant one not Zag

static wadi
#

@dawn linden same as Zag

brisk trail
dawn linden
#

True but like Lernie prob has a wife and children

#

Like look at him

brisk trail
#

Whose Lernie?

dawn linden
#

He be vibing

brisk trail
#

I don’t think I met a Lernie yet

dawn linden
#

Bone hydra

brisk trail
#

Bone Hydra is an animal

#

Who tf wants to romance the snake

static wadi
#

him? her!

dawn linden
#

This is true

static wadi
#

@brisk trail at least Lernie always waiting you in asphodel

dawn linden
#

But other snakes maybe

static wadi
#

i think she feels something for Zag too

#

Dusa is not quite human too btw

#

some ppl like her

brisk trail
#

Meg’s whip though

static wadi
#

yup it hurts

#

but easy to dodge

hushed hamlet
#

I've died so many times and got nectar that I just started passing it out to ppl

#

like candy

#

lol

brisk trail
#

I only give my nectar to people once so I can get keepsakes then I give the rest to Meg

hushed hamlet
#

ok gonna do another run

#

H16

static wadi
#

@brisk trail 2 more for chaos

#

@hushed hamlet gl

brisk trail
#

Wait what

#

I got Chaos’s keepsake already? Chaos has multiple?

hushed hamlet
#

I need to up Meg's nectar giving

#

but she's barely around

static wadi
#

@brisk trail prophecies

brisk trail
#

I skim those

dawn linden
#

Oh yeah how do you get Hypnos and Hermes heart event

static wadi
#

@brisk trail do u need keys yet?

brisk trail
#

Yes I’m past that

#

I’ll take a good look at it later

#

I usually just skim those

static wadi
#

ok no nectar for chaos

#

if u dont need keys

brisk trail
#

You know what sucks

#

Hades is always working so hard for such long hours. It’s his entire life. He deserves to get some action :/ or at least be in a relationship.

#

In my opinion Hades is the good guy.

#

In this game anyways. (I haven’t finished it keep in mind this isn’t a spoiler just my thoughts so far)

sharp fossil
#

honestly even in myth hades is fairly consistently less garbage than the rest of the gods

#

he just gets a bad rap ‘cause people scared of death or something

brisk trail
#

man, i keep dying at the same boss

static wadi
#

@sharp fossil that was i said

#

i mean he loves his wife

#

and he doesnt act like Zeus in this questions

#

@brisk trail which?

sharp fossil
#

indeed

#

lmao zeus

brisk trail
#

the champions of elesium

sharp fossil
#

ah

#

yeah that’s not uncommon

random plover
#

Try focusing asterius first

brisk trail
#

i do

narrow hemlock
#

hades isnt the only one whos less garbage and always gets a bad rap lol

random plover
#

What gets you killed in the fight

brisk trail
#

honestly? this past run was just because i picked up a bad upgrade

static wadi
#

@brisk trail try to stay away from Theseus first

brisk trail
#

(i'm trying to fulfill all the prophecies)

static wadi
#

and first kill the bull

remote forge
#

The most deadly part of Theseus is that smile, that damn smile.

brisk trail
#

theseus is garbage. i hate him

sharp fossil
#

hades isnt the only one whos less garbage and always gets a bad rap lol
oh?

brisk trail
#

he's irritating

static wadi
#

always try to stay behind the bull

remote forge
#

I'm in a similar boat though. Always manage to off Asterius and then get killed by Theseus during his last phase

static creek
#

Hey guys, someone know if the soundtrack comes also in FLAC if i buy it in the epic store?

static wadi
brisk trail
#

at least i don't break promises with women who HELPED me escape a maze

#

I'm in a similar boat though. Always manage to off Asterius and then get killed by Theseus during his last phase
@remote forge yep. thats whats happening to me

remote forge
#

I think the answer is for us to just git gud

brisk trail
#

yep

remote forge
#

And build up darkness for upgrades

brisk trail
#

i just need to git gud lmao

remote forge
#

And renovate Hades more

#

It's just hard to actually do a lot of damage when you're continuously dashing away :/

random plover
#

Fully charged Artemis call is perfect for finishing Theseus almost immediately in his 2nd phase

remote forge
#

I do save up my calls for that phase but...

#

I usually get him down to 10-25% before dying

#

Just need more practice

static wadi
#

@random plover almost any call good for handling his call

static creek
#

Hey guys, someone know if the soundtrack comes also in FLAC if i buy it in the epic store?
Nobody :( ?

narrow hemlock
#

@sharp fossil ||outside of representing the brutality of war and all the bad that comes along with it (which people inherently hate, which is fair), ares was notably not involved in the amount of scandals other olympians were. he never forced himself on anyone, he killed someone for attempting to do so to one of his daughters (which resulted in the first trial, in which he was acquitted).|| there's more but this isn't really the channel to get deep into it and I'm about to head off lol but either way I'm very glad for how supergiant chose to handle ares. he and hades both get villianized in media for the wrong reasons generally

sharp fossil
#

neat

#

yeah my myth knowledge is a bit fuzzy around the edges tbh

#

looks like i got another greek god to defend from the haters

static wadi
#

@static creek what is flac

narrow hemlock
#

Audio format

sharp fossil
#

bigger and better than mp3

#

as in, literally larger file size, higher quality

static wadi
#

i got it yes

#

i guess it's not my question

sharp fossil
#

sorry, what was your question then?

static wadi
#

not my

#

Hey guys, someone know if the soundtrack comes also in FLAC if i buy it in the epic store?
@static creek

#

this one

sharp fossil
#

oh fair

#

yeah i bought it off their website so idk

static wadi
#

oh come on ares where are my hunting blades????????????????

remote forge
#

@sharp fossil in general Ares is less god of war and more god of (individual) warriors

#

Athena is more associated with (city)state level war

sharp fossil
#

yeah that makes sense

#

‘cause strategy and stuff

static wadi
#

Ares is more about cruel part of the war

#

Athena more about strategy

remote forge
#

But also personal honor and vengeance

static wadi
#

what an unlucky run

remote forge
#

Ares is also the god of getting stuck in a jar

#

So when you can't open a jar of spicy pickles, pay libations to Ares

static wadi
#

lol Poseidon quote about he has lot of nephews thx to Zeus

remote forge
#

Greek mythology is largely the story of Zeus being unable to regulate his thirst

#

Be it as a man, a bull, a swan, ...

static wadi
#

a rain

#

an insect

remote forge
#

The rain was Ouranos impregnating Gaea

#

Not Zeus

#

That's early on in Theogony, like first couple pages

#

Not so subtle imagery of cum rain

static wadi
#

Danaia

#

or how is it written in english

remote forge
#

Oh yeah right

#

When Zeus gave her a golden shower

#

( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)

#

I've seen Danaia and Danaë

static wadi
#

disgusting

#

no Hermes leg

#

no Artemis leg

#

no Hunting blades

#

no Engulfing Vortex

remote forge
#

At least we have a sanitized version of the story of Zagreus (though there are many)

#

The one I'm most familiar with also involves a thirsty Zeus turning into an animal to seduce a mortal woman

#

(Again)

static wadi
#

@remote forge u mean hymn?

remote forge
#

Sorry not mortal I'm mixing them up, though tbh it is pretty mixed up

#

The one where Zeus tries to seduce Persephone as a snake (and she's not his daughter in that story, generally, though sometimes also yes, because Zeus doesn't have limits.)

#

And then their son Zagreus gets torn apart and Zeus sends her to marry his brother (her uncle) in Hades

#

And then again tries to bonk her by disguising himself as his brother

#

FFS Zeus...

trail copper
#

Is 15 keys for one blood still something that can sometimes show up as the one time deal for the collector. I started a new file when 1.0 came out and I did not think I have seen it yet

remote forge
#

I just cashed that in a few hours ago so yeah

#

Maybe it was only 10, I forget

#

I think it was 15

high island
#

I think so. RNG will be RNG, though.

static wadi
#

@trail copper i saw that deal

#

15 keys for 1 blood

sharp fossil
#

yeah it’s 15

#

iirc there are 12(?) deals and it randomly cycles between them, so it’s entirely possible to not get one for a good while

trail copper
#

Ok my weapons are also only at 3-5 heat so maybe it does not show up until latter, that or it's just rng. Probably just rng :p

sudden dome
#

I can't get over what a great job SGG did with this title. The replicability is remarkable. The voice acting is GREAT and it really ties you to the story. The relationships Zag has that progress with his enemies are outstanding. 10/10

any tips for not dying constantly at 0 heat with guan yu? XD

(I can beat 5 heat easily with other aspects)

@glacial zephyr special

@sudden dome only problem is Zag doesn't say "lads" enough

I can't get over Darren voicing both Zag and Skelly... great job on both accents tbh

I didn't know that

what are the most fun aspects to use?

inland leaf
#

this game is rigged

#

sometimes I need to wait for ||legendary boons|| for like 20 runs

#

but now I got two in one run

static wadi
#

i guess it was a HUGE mistake taking explosive shot for ||Rama||

vague wraith
#

Are the green projectile waves that come from the skulls in the final boss sometimes being invisible an intentional thing?

plucky ridge
#

Is it just me or do i get better boons when i give the gods some nectar during a run?

static wadi
#

@vague wraith never saw that

sharp fossil
#

it’s just you lol

vague wraith
#

It’s happened multiple times for me

sharp fossil
#

giving nectar doesn’t effect boon rarity

inland leaf
#

report it

#

it should be visible all the time

vague wraith
#

||but because the boss himself can turn invisible, I thought maybe the green waves being invisible was a feature of the fight||

inland leaf
#

no, they are always visible

sharp fossil
#

that is 100% a bug yeah

vague wraith
#

Okay, so do I just mention that in the tech support channel, or is there somewhere else to report that?

void vigil
#

you can press F10 in-game

vague wraith
#

I’m on switch

void vigil
#

ah, then just mention it in the tech support channel, yeah

strong vessel
#

@vague wraith Im on Switch too but I haven't experienced that. Must be hard! Can you catch a video the next time it happens? Just curious. =)

vague wraith
#

Don’t you need a capture card or something to record stuff on switch?

#

I might be able to get a screenshot though

sudden dome
#

any new info on cross save with switch?

plucky ridge
#

giving nectar doesn’t effect boon rarity

Damn then it was coincidence because last 2 rounds got more heroic and duo boons and gave them some nectar beforehand 😅

anyone know if Bad News imparts its bonus to Crystal Beam damage?

Anyone have this problem where the interact button is not also the confirm button?

static wadi
#

@mortal dawn wdym

mortal dawn
#

B is used to interact with the well of Charon, but pressing B on one of the choices will close the well menu. I'll have to hit a different button to select one of the choices

static wadi
#

i have E for well

#

and B for boons menu

mortal dawn
#

Not talking about that. I'm talking about the interact button (boon, talk, well, choose the door to next chamber) no longer being able to select a choice in a menu/skip dialogue

#

Instead of selecting the option within the menu, my interact button now closes that menu

zealous flare
#

Oh ive seen the invisible ones as well but i thought it was intentional

#

You can see the dirt effect moving so you can still dodge it

fun is all that matters right?

bright lance
#

hades - the only game where losing makes you happy because you get to talk to the characters and try again by exploring new boon combos and builds

#

win or lose, you get new dialogue lines

#

@bright lance it was same with Pyre

wintry goblet
#

never did I think I would enjoy spending gems on decorating the house, but man is it fun

static wadi
#

actually sometimes win was painful(

bright lance
#

oh yeah dang, that game literally has an opposite effect sometimes lol

wintry goblet
#

I was actually kind of sad my first win

static wadi
#

i hate sword tbh

#

but secret aspect

#

was SOOOOOO fun

bright lance
#

@wintry goblet honestly same, a part of me was like oh no we can't experience that feeling of trying super hard to win again
but then I found out there's wayyyy more and i was like NICE

#

i cant wait to unlock secret aspect

#

but i need more BLOOOOD

wintry goblet
#

I literally sighed so hard in relief when i beat the boss the first time

bright lance
#

the first time feeling cannot be replicated

#

it is just insane

how will chiron be post nerf?

#

i suppose investing titan blood into chiron is kinda a waste now?

static wadi
#

wdym

zinc nacelle
#

huh

#

i heard chiron is gonna be nerfed`?

brisk trail
#

Wait, what? From where?

zinc nacelle
#

ive read that yesterday here

#

bow special nerf or smth

fading edge
#

bow special is being nerfed slightly in test branch but not chiron specifically

zinc nacelle
#

well but effectively a chrion nerf

fading edge
#

& test branch doesnt necessarily mean its gonna be pushed to the game

zinc nacelle
#

from my experience in 95% of the cases, updates go live after tested on test servers

#

in multiplayer games atleast

how does ares/poseidon duo work with hera bow

I escaped!! Yayyy

Also what is considered a spoiler? Like starting where? Cause I’m not sure what I should tag and what not to tag

Obviously like final boss and stuff and story but

@bitter needle last boss and things after him

Also what is considered a spoiler?

who would thought it would be Heracles yes

So on this 100th attempt I had the “traps deal more damage” heat turned on and I was using the fists and I’m notorious for getting caught in lava, so I lost 2 death defiance’s in asphodel, lost the 3rd in elysium, then was lucky enough to see patroclus to get them back and got a much needed attack boon and I was able to escape 🙌

ahhh yes the moment when u lost all dd and see ! sign on the next doorshadeohboy

#

for my 100th attempt I finally managed to build up a winning streak for the first time (a small one - 4 wins in a row) and then I got such miserable boon choices going along with the rail which I wasn't familiar with yet and I was sad not winning for my 100th attempt and also not reaching the 5 win streak 😄

echo sluice
#

I have three dash attack bonuses with Rolling Knuckle and Gilgamesh aspect, but my dash attack seems to be doing less damage than my main attack

#

54% + 60% +70% bonus to dash-strike, +73% damage to attack. Main attack does 104 damage, dash does 71

Do Asterius and Thesius attacks randomly gain piercing properties? I had a 4-win streak going, and then these guys just deleted me by ignoring my blocks. :/

static wadi
#

didnt see that

crisp zodiac
#

@bitter needle When you're about to be on lava, dash. Dashing's i-frames apply to lava.

#

@dusk mantle Quick, spoiler-free, TL;DR version of unlocking each weap's hidden aspects:
Varatha: Do this first. Unlock at least 5 other aspects and fight the final boss, win or lose. Keep talking to Achilles.
Malphon: Fight Asterius as a miniboss with Malphon at least once; he'll comment on them. Then, see "Others."
Exagryph: Accept a boon from Zeus with Exagryph; he'll comment on it. Then, see "Others."
Others: 1) Unlock Varatha's. 2) Spend at least 5 titan blood in all on the weapon (unlocks + upgrades) in question. 2b) See Malphon and Exagryph comments for them. 3) Talk with the right people for each weap: Nyx for Stygius, Chaos for Aegis, Artemis for Coronacht, Asterius for Malphon, and Zeus for Exagryph.

Zagreus will recite the incantations to unlock the final aspects upon interacting with the upgrade menus, so don't get worried and start writing extra notes for yourself.

dusk mantle
#

@crisp zodiac I've unlocked all except the bow. Thanks a lot anyway!

bitter needle
#

@crisp zodiac I usually am a dash spammer, I just get caught too far out lol rip

Is there a mod or something that lets you get the seed of a run?

#

I'd like to replay specific runs I've done in the past, I'm wondering if this is even possible

static wadi
#

i think

#

at least as i heard most wr done on seeded runs

sand stump
#

I dont know is there a way to manip exactly which room will appear

zinc nacelle
#

weird that there are no seeds ingame

peak cloak
#

Does Rupture or boss knockback damage do more damage?

static wadi
#

more damage than what?

drowsy finch
#

the other, presumably.

#

And it depends, probably.

#

On whatever weapon you're using, how frequently you can land hits with it

peak cloak
#

Yeah i was going through it myself that way

drowsy finch
#

Rupture is good damage though

peak cloak
#

the 40% boss damage was better to me since i have a very spammy setup

#

my attack, special and cast are all poseidon, so... lol

#

got the rupture one later anyways

#

this build is silly

ebon blaze
#

I believe athena-ares duo needs a slight nerf

#

game becomes to easy if you stack them

#

What's the best place to provide game feedback?

shell crescent
#

If I pass up a hammer will it reappear later in that floor?

sharp fossil
#

it should reappear eventually, though it may be in a later zone

shell crescent
#

so i will still at the end of the run have two hammer upgrades?

sharp fossil
#

the game generally tries to give you 2 hammers per run, but if you pass them up (particularly later on) you can miss one or even both

#

you should, unless you make a point of passing them up

shell crescent
#

aight thanks

granite plinth
#

when does thanatos appear

#

i've played for like 20 hours and haven't even encountered him yet

mossy grove
#

I don’t know exactly

granite plinth
#

15*

glad mist
#

For me I had to keep going till he spawned in elysium then after that he can spawn anywhere

granite plinth
#

ive made it to the boss multiple times and escaped once

#

lol

glad mist
#

Yeah took me a bit

#

He only spawns in a room with enemies so maybe avoid the shop and the warrior guy rooms

#

Just to up your odds

jade crescent
#

how do you deal with flame wheels with sword or fists? I've got 110 runs under my belt but I can't flawless tartarus erebus with those if it has flamewheels

sharp fossil
#

dash across obstacles to get the flamewheels to run into them

jade crescent
#

ohhhh so you can bait them like the minotaur

sharp fossil
#

yup, except they explode and die when they crash

dusk mantle
#

Sigh.. the reduced dash hammer upgrade on Spear really killed me... Never will i take that again. Completely ruined me on Hades. Oh well. Lesson learned.

sharp fossil
#

it’s actually amazing dps

#

but yeah i feel you; it kills me like half the time as well

#

i gotta learn to use it well, because it’s crazy good

ebon blaze
#

I've won whenever i pick that up

#

usually with some hermes shenanigans like more dashes and sturdy

sharp fossil
#

i remember back when it didn’t reduce your dash distance...

#

ah, good times

#

unbalanced, good times

ebon blaze
#

the spear and shield are my two least favorite weapons

#

yet i have more clears with them

sharp fossil
#

same except shield is great

jade crescent
#

how rare are duos when you don't have the mirror upgrade?

tawdry flower
#

when does thanatos appear
@granite plinth

“After reaching the 3rd chamber of Elysium for the first time, Thanatos has a chance to appear in any area except for Temple of Styx. He may appear at the beginning of an encounter (excluding Trials of the Gods) after Zagreus has lost some health in a run.”

#

I have pretty good luck getting them in 1-3 runs when I go Duo hunting for the list of prophecies.

jade crescent
#

I got attack ares and dash athena, looking to get that one but I've gotten probably 7 boons across those two and not the duo

opaque bough
#

iirc it's like 5% but that might be before or after v1.0 rolled around

#

I remember it was nerfed for full release at least

sharp fossil
#

if you’re shooting for Merciful End, you need athena special

#

dash doesn’t work as a prereq

jade crescent
#

oh rip

sharp fossil
#

you still want the dash ofc, but you need the special as well

ebon blaze
#

you can check the prereqs on the boon list

sharp fossil
#

^

gleaming sparrow
#

Having the prereqs in the codex is so clutch.

jade crescent
#

yeah, I just figured it was any main ability with deflect

sharp fossil
#

it used to be

ebon blaze
#

damn though, it's the most powerful boon imho

#

with the % increase on doom damage

sharp fossil
#

they made it harder to get, on account of it being broken as hell lol

#

impending doom yup

gleaming sparrow
#

Also had my first "used all my death defiance" wins in a while. Feels like most times I don't even die one on the last boss

sharp fossil
#

ME gets the job done

gleaming sparrow
#

What's merciful end again?

ebon blaze
#

Athena-Ares duo

#

your deflects proc dooms

#

insane dps with fast weapons

deep geyser
#

Ok

#

How does one get better

#

At fishing

mossy grove
#

Press the button when it goes under

#

That’s all

tawdry flower
#

It bobs 0-3 times

#

Then it will bite.

jade crescent
#

and it takes longer for a fake bob

deep geyser
#

Honestly I get so few fishing things lol I just can't practice the timing enough

tawdry flower
#

If it has gone 1 second without anything, the next thing will be a Bob, not a bite. So you can relax a bit about that one

jade crescent
#

if you're waiting for ages for it to bob, you know it's fake and don't need to worry

deep geyser
#

Ok, I'll keep that in mind

tawdry flower
#

If it bobbed 3 times, you know it has to be a bite next

deep geyser
#

Any tips for how to hit the perfect ones?

#

Cause I need more blood for the blood god

tawdry flower
#

If you’re “prepped”, it’s just reflex times

#

I get perfect catches about 70% of the time. A large reason I miss is if it bit with no bobs first

deep geyser
#

Alright, noted

#

But yeah I ended up sinking blood into the Zag Sword for ||Skelly cause he's cool|| and now that I have ||his summon which isnt the greatest imo|| I kinda regret it

#

So im trying to figure out ways to get more blood

mossy grove
#

Just do it on various heats

tawdry flower
#

Blood is pretty easy to come by once you have a few wins under your belt

mossy grove
#

Some prophecies give a lot of blood too

tawdry flower
#

2 per weapon per ||heat level||, plus the option to buy in Styx or trade up lesser materials

static wadi
#

Ok explain me this. I have Chaos curse for no money. I enter the room with 100 coin reward. I finish this room and Curse expire and i have boon for 60% gold

jade crescent
#

always make sure you have around 1k gold when you get to styx, you make up 200 in the hallways

static wadi
#

why did i get 100 gold

jade crescent
#

the room was decided before the chaos expired

deep geyser
#

I want to try increasing ||heat|| but being up 1, 2, 0r 3 still shows I've ||completed the bounty so I can't get m9ore rewards||

jade crescent
#

you can trade weapons, but you gotta keep bumping it up higher

static wadi
#

@jade crescent but i took gold after i had this buff

jade crescent
#

nope, the reward was decided first, it's not a collection multiplier but a room reward multiplier

deep geyser
#

Waffle, do i have to beat the final boss on each heat before I can get rewards from the next?

jade crescent
#

yes

static wadi
#

@jade crescent but it affect any gold not only room reward

deep geyser
#

Oh ok

#

Well no blood for me any time soon then lol

jade crescent
#

but it's the way it's applied, the reward has to appear after the chaos boon does it's thing

static wadi
#

so it appears after chaos curse expire

#

but before chaos boon appeared?

jade crescent
#

sorta

static wadi
#

nonsense

tawdry flower
#

The variable value determining the worth of the coin drop was set when you entered the room.

#

The boost only applies to rooms AFTER the one it upgrades in

#

Otherwise it would effectively be one less room on the counter than the displayed number

jade crescent
#

huh I finished the prophecy for hermes ||beat charon twice in a row|| and he commented on it when I talked to him but his gold heart didnt unlock?

carmine ravine
#

his favor is meeting him with his maxed keepsake

jade crescent
#

oh alright

cunning root
#

Ngl I think his keepsake is one of the worst in the game

jade crescent
#

it's actually mad good

#

you stack it to around 30, meaning every 3 hits you dodge one of them

#

basically a 30% damage reduction

#

stacks with other dodge chance like the green dash mirror upgrade

static wadi
#

if u need to use dodge

#

it means you are not good enough

jade crescent
#

lmao sure, but even the best players get hit hard in higher heat

static wadi
#

@jade crescent i'm just trying to sound cool

jade crescent
#

I can tell

static wadi
#

so i bought all upgrades for Lounge, Bedroom and West hall. And if for 1st and 2nd here is check mark but for west hall looks like something missed but i have no upgrades

fathom tinsel
#

There are a couple things in west hall that require upgrades from great hall or specific dialog with hades.

sand stump
#

Will we be able to hear him talk shadeohboy

remote coral
#

I think it's just more grunts lmao

sand stump
#

I believe that, but i really really want to opposite to happen lol

remote coral
#

same 🤞

deep geyser
#

Finally got another win

#

I think thats 3 or 4 now

slender linden
#

i think it'd be funny if there was a very rare Charon line when he just says 'hello Zagreus. no one will ever believe you'

vague frigate
#

does anyone think that EM4 adds are a little bs, they are so tanky and they spawn so fast, the screen is covered in adds and bombs. (forced overtime 2 as well)

remote coral
#

just don't get hit tho lol

vague frigate
#

hard not to get hit when i have to fight adds and dodge butterflies but the adds don't die, they disappear then come back so you can't kill them till he spawns new ones

#

its a little bs that they disappear so you can't kill them and come back on the second adds phase so you have to deal with extra adds who don't die.

#

they disappear

#

come back after you get hades down more, so now you have 2. i find it a little bs

#

hades hp goes down more*

jolly river
#

||I dont understand how to unlock aspects for the weapons||

#

Weapon spoilers^

vague frigate
#

use blood after you unlock the weapon, you might need to reach a certain point in the game to be able to use blood though

jolly river
#

im very far in, still dont have the option

#

or far enough I think

vague frigate
#

you might have had to unlock all the weapons using keys first, MAYBE

fathom tinsel
#

The way dialog priority works also can delay the hidden aspects. I had beaten the final boss >10 times before I got the first hidden aspect.

brisk trail
#

how to i upgrade my malphon to zagreus ?

blazing citrus
#

Yo

#

Any devs online?

gaunt ridge
#

After the first run I can choose not to ||use the pact of punishment|| right?

gleaming sparrow
#

Yep. And that's preferable if you wanna fill up on Darkness

gaunt ridge
#

okay, thanks!

gleaming sparrow
#

After I did a successful run with one weapon I would move onto another. If I failed I would pick the next with Dark Thirst regardless.

karmic basin
gleaming sparrow
#

So if I beefed it on the last boss I would get a bunch of darkenss from the previous bosses on my next attempt.

#

Plus I get all the different minor prophecy stuff as I go along because I'm mixing it up and learning what works with the different weapons. I used to HATE the sword and now when it gets dark thirst I'm stoked.

drowsy finch
#

I’m going to run the rail until I like it

Hell yeah

@drowsy finch

drowsy finch

Charge shot shield is just bow but cooler CattoSunglass

Just put zeus on attack and poseidon on dash. Maybe aphrodite or artemis on special.

#

You'll thank me later

gleaming sparrow
#

Melt rooms

As well as the one that makes it so tyou can hurt yourself

I like the one that charges you up

Eris?

Supporting fire + Zeus attack lets go

#

That’s THE DREAM

gleaming sparrow

I got the 5 rockets and that was one of my top 3 fastest boss clears.

#

I hate Eris cause I love just mortaring enemies lol

gleaming sparrow
#

Fog and grenade lol

#

Lob lob lob

drowsy finch
#

I already enjoy special build Rail, so that’s not the problem

deep geyser

That's best way to use rail imo

#

Plus if you can gert Doom or Hangover or something on atack

drowsy finch
#

Yeah but I wanna love the rail, not the rail’s launcher

runic oxide
#

guys what is your opinion on fists aspects? I find the latest one a but underwhelming...

#

time to activate the damage is too long... it rarely tickts on the normal monsters... it feels like just bosses take damage from the special rest just dies before....

sudden dome
#

lightning

runic oxide
#

i would prefer the damage to be smaller but faster

craggy shore
#

Where/how do I report bugs?

flat vapor
#

if you're on pc, press f10 in-game for a bug reporter

gleaming sparrow
#

Demeter aspect probably absolutely owns at max blood

#

I use the zag aspect for the dodge. It's so fun. When you get the hammer that gives it the dash hit that makes it part of a combo I feel like I'm doing FFVII:REMAKE Tifa's attack (you know the one)

runic oxide
#

im still not that deep into game so im still short on bloods, spent to upgrade G to max but well i dont like it...

gleaming sparrow
#

Just dashing around an enemy over and over

runic oxide
#

Aspect of Demeter feels way better

gleaming sparrow
#

Yeah don't worry about that. Eventually you'll be clearing 1 heat, 2 heat, 3 heat pretty consistently as you learn what works for you and max your mirror

craggy shore
#

@flat vapor i have a screenshot of the bug but it's no longer on screen. How do I change the image for the bug report?

runic oxide
#

@gleaming sparrow im at ~7-8 heat now

flat vapor
#

you could upload it to imgur and paste the link into the reporter

gleaming sparrow
#

Ah! Sweet.

craggy shore
#

Great idea, thank you very much

gleaming sparrow
#

I'm probably gonna spent my next batch of blood on aspect of demeter because it'll make the special an absolute beast, right?

runic oxide
#

true im facing another strange issue

#

i cant unlock last apsect on rail...

#

got everything else unlocked already

#

and spent like 10 bloods on it

#

and Zeus doesnt promt me with the proper text...

waxen meteor
#

Hello! This might have been asked before, but is there a chance we get Hades in a physical release?

torn sparrow
#

I would definitely buy a physical copy

gleaming sparrow
#

The secret rail aspect was the last one I got too

runic oxide
#

no idea why it takes so much....

gleaming sparrow
#

Yeah I want a physical copy for sure from LRG but I want it to be far enough out that EVERYTHING is in there, and more patches are unlikely

scarlet ice
#

oh hey my first suicide was on exactly my 100th run

gleaming sparrow
#

Lololol

scarlet ice
#

i just wanted to talk to zeus for a sidequest and didn't feel like going all the way through, plus it was really late at night so i just bailed

runic oxide
#

thats why i play on switch 🙂 just press power button and get back to it next day 🙂

gleaming sparrow
#

I'm in so much trouble when they patch in cross save

#

Speaking of which, what do you suppose was the issue that delayed cross save? Just didn't get done, or maybe there was some weird bug? Or maybe they figured a better way to do it but too close to 1.0 launch

#

They had a concrete timeline (october) which makes me think it's just busywork and testing to making sure it doesn't do anything crazy like lose saves.

quiet gull
#

Cross save compatibility is more work than just flipping a switch

gleaming sparrow
#

Well, of course.

quaint wind
#

it's also still october

gleaming sparrow
#

Oh I'm expecting nothing until literally halloween.

#

Plus times are as uncertain as hell so I won't even count on that.

But yeah, if I had to bet it was probably just the uninteresting explanation. Nothing goofy happened, just needed more time to finalize.

#

How many clears do y'all have with each weapon

#

I think mine is probably pretty even. Less with rail, more with fists.

deep geyser
#

Skelly is officially my favourite character

scarlet ice
#

mine isn't very even i don't think. i can't check right now but there was a time where i had 3 or more complete runs with shield and none with any of the others

glacial flume
#

epiloge is the only achievement i dont have and i have 45+ clears by now and most heat 10+ anyone know how to trigger? i maxed all bonds

scarlet ice

I thnk I have a clear with Shield, Sword, Spear, and Rail rn

Blade - 5
Spear - 6
Shield - 4
Bow - 2
Fists - 7
Rail - 3

Just got out of Hell for first time dusa Is there going to be FAQ sessions like before v1.0 release so those of us who jumped into the game now can ask questions for devs about this great game?

#

Yeah that first clear is so satisfying

mossy grove
#

Indeed

patent topaz
#

I was thinking about starting a new save file to fully enjoy the full game (maybe keeping the old one because memories and stuff), but idk... i'm already far and i liked seeing how many runs it took me to get at the end but now that i have more experience with the game i will beat it in less runs at it wouldn't be... genuine? Fake? Like no guys i'm not actually that good i lost to meg at least 30 times before succeding)

#

But i also want to see how they changed the things i already saw. And see the dialogue i can't remember again. And have an overall complete experience

i mean, there's no harm in just starting one

if you don't like it, don't continue it

Is there something specific I have to do for (weapon spoiler) ||the malphon legendary aspect?||

mossy grove

#

I got so close!! ||Hades killed me when he had less than one fourth health||

idle spoke
#

@brazen sky happened me one run before I completed, you can do it

#

The Daedalus hammer ability that lets the spear special hit multiple enemies really helped. I hope I get it again.

lost hazel
#

u mean Daedalus hammer?

brazen sky
#

Oops yeah

mossy grove
#

There are some really good hammers that carried me

brave hare
#

the bullrush hammer on shields that gives you a 400 % dmg boost if you hit it properly is broken AF

#

especially if you combine it with the one that turns the bullrush into a shot

#

really hard to ever take dmg again if you keep your distance to enemies

@sudden dock he can take a while is what I'll say (||basically the whole game||) though his keepsake is kinda eh IMO

His keepsake is pretty good

#

Ngl

#

Really strong

sudden dock
#

I have gotten through the credits. As I said, I beaten it

fallen violet
#

Its like budget Ares

quaint hatch
#

Story progression means wins
Also rng dialogue

earnest sand
#

I got it || the first time after doing another run after the credits || but idk if it’s always like this or rng

crimson canopy
#

wait like you've cleared the game once or fully beat it bc after that I think ||you just have to talk to him, though it may have take like 10ish runs after credits for the right dialogue trigger||

sudden dock
#

Nope, after the credits run when it's just security check, he's still not giftable

#

And all the info in the Codex is unlocked

#

so...

#

How many more runs must I play...

fallen violet
#

I have like 80 or something

#

idk

sudden dock
#

I oughta just start killing myself in the first room...

#

Maybe there will be a funny dialogue for that

Huh ye it seems to be rng then 😮

Why do I always have 4 or 5 satyrs tunnels when I'm on TD 3 ? Just lost my 30 streak because of that

@sudden dock from a steam guide: ||You can acquire [Hades' keepsake/unlock his heart meter] after beating the game (post-credits), plus a few more runs. Eventually there will be a prompt to view a mini-cutscene in a special location. Afterwards, you can gift Hades nectar.||

sudden dock
#

Ooooh, thank you

#

I am determined again!

crimson canopy
#

Though if you've done a lot of runs after the credits it's weird you haven't seen it yet thanthink

sudden dock
#

I've done 1

crimson canopy
#

Ah that explains it - yeah just run trap damage and die a lot :p

indigo nest
#

Yeah I got it recent

#

You just gotta get good rng

jade crescent
#

why is the "max rank each keepsake" achievement so much more common than some of the others? Ive done a ton of the prophecies and obviously weapon aspects before getting all those done

crimson canopy
#

Not sure but some of the prophecies are kind of tough and "max each keepsake" is basically just play enough ||and beat the game||

wind wedge
#

I think some people are just "laser focused" on "progress" tbh

brisk trail
#

I’m focused on romancing Meg rn tbh

wind wedge
#

That is a correct focus.

spare ridge
#

i’m torn between dusa and meg

maiden urchin
#

lol just turn off mirror, run trap damage, and equip guan yu. you'll have 15 hp so you die instantly

spare ridge
#

it’s like

brisk trail
#

i’m torn between dusa and meg
@spare ridge why not both

spare ridge
#

frick can’t i have both

brisk trail
#

Yes you can

spare ridge
#

oh ok then

brisk trail
spare ridge
#

that settles it

brisk trail
#

Actually Dusa ||can’t be romanced||

wind wedge
#

There is literally no downside to having all romances happening at once

#

||and one upside||

brisk trail
#

Dusa ||will just end up being your best friend||

wind wedge
#

This is true, but ||it's about the journey, my friend||

spare ridge
#

Dusa ||will just end up being your best friend||
@brisk trail that’s way better

atomic seal
#

how its better dammit

void vigil
#

please keep it clean!

spare ridge
#

it’s bc

#

could you picture ||zag doing dusa||

atomic seal
#

.

#

lmfao

spare ridge
#

like no man

#

god no

quaint hatch
#

Big oof

maiden urchin
#

bruh

#

even dusa doesnt like the gorgons

spare ridge
#

yea

wind wedge
#

I do think that it's nice that ||there's a "romance" plot that actually ends up with the protagonist being "turned down" and this resulting in friendship||

#

That's actually psychologically healthy.

quaint hatch
#

Nice perspective yeah

spare ridge
#

i agree, i don’t think it’d work out very well if it went the other way

quaint hatch
#

Games are mostly hella sexual if the have romance options

fallen violet
#

No health allowed

#

become playboy

#

kekw

brisk trail
#

Meg’s whip though

fallen violet
quaint hatch

Jesus wine boy

brisk trail
#

Dio made me this way

atomic seal
#

ya know life is suffering when even a|| floating head friendzone you in a video game||

fallen violet
#

Acorn literally made me no hit em3

#

thanks

quaint hatch
#

Can't blame the floating head
It'd just be weird

brisk trail
#

Aphrodite just told me ||when I get out she will take me to go meet some mortal maidens or gentlemen depending on my preference||

fallen violet
#

Ok boys

#

its AP2

#

I have to get the duo

#

and then get the 1/3 chance

#

Its time

raven lava
#

ngl ||guan yu aspect|| is hella fun

buoyant merlin
#

I should print out the boon charts because I’m never gonna remember the prerequisites for legendary or duo boons

brisk trail
#

This game is my favorite game ever

#

Love it so much

fallen violet
#

I mean

buoyant merlin
#

It’s high up there for me

void vigil
#

yeah, i open that boon codex very often...

fallen violet
#

tf2 is pretty good

#

just sayin

buoyant merlin
#

I love games where you dodge fast and attack fast so this game feels like it was designed for me

fallen violet
#

ok boys

spare ridge
#

i love roguelikes and roguelites in general so

fallen violet
#

rng time

#

wish me luck

void vigil
#

🙏

brisk trail
#

I’m actually not into rougelike games but this one, I love it.

spare ridge
#

may RNGsus be on your side today my friend

quaint hatch
#

@buoyant merlin remember your codex
Don't waste your paper xD

buoyant merlin
#

Codex?

#

Doesn’t that just say what they do

fallen violet
#

agdsmknaf,j.hdnsa,jf

#

COME ON

#

UGH

void vigil
#

this is so sad

quaint hatch
#

@buoyant merlin Nope
It also shows you the prerequisites

fallen violet
#

SO MAD

quaint hatch
#

If you press - on switch and idk on pc

fallen violet
#

ok

#

I have a question

spare ridge
#

also i don’t know how i never noticed the thing you use to reroll stuff is a d20

#

i’m kinda blind

fallen violet
#

Is saytr sack RNG

#

or preset

#

when you enter floor

spare ridge
#

i think it’s the former

#

latter latter

fallen violet
#

Can I manipulate rng and get the sack on the challenge room

#

and not fight the guys

spare ridge
#

i think they choose it when you get into styx

fallen violet
#

DANG

robust sundial
#

yes you can

fallen violet
#

yes you can
@robust sundial Ok

#

Its big brain time

spare ridge
#

but idk i’m just guessing

fallen violet
#

I need athena

#

So I am going to do 1 more room

#

then rush the challenge room

robust sundial
#

sometimes I went to fight a boss and got a satyr sack instead

spare ridge
#

i usually get it like second try anyway

fallen violet
#

hopefully I get this right

spare ridge
#

yeah most of the time i get the sack in a miniboss room

#

so thanks game

fallen violet
#

this is so sad

#

It was the second room

#

I hate this game

spare ridge
#

well

fallen violet
#

Its time

#

for ||em4||

#

I need luck and skill

#

lets do this

buoyant merlin
#

em4 I had dionsysis's legendary skill last minute and it honestly saved the run

sullen rover
#

so on the pact of punishment screen some of my weapons have check marks next to the bounties and some of them have all the bounties greyed out with check marks, what is the difference? how can I tell which rewards I havent gotten yet?

tacit ocean
#

the greyed out ones mean you've collected all the bounties on that weapon for that heat

#

if you select something to raise the heat it should be clear again

sullen rover
#

i guess the reason im confused is that theres two states for a reward (either I can still earn the reward or I have already earned it) but three icon types (question mark, check mark, greyed out checkmark)

tacit ocean
#

greyed out is just to indicate the whole run is complete

quaint hatch
#

^

wintry goblet
#

What's the max heat level right now?

robust sundial
#

20

glass bone
#

But isn't there a reward for 32?

wintry goblet
#

I wonder how long it takes to completely run out of content for this game, at least 1000+ hours

silent igloo
#

Dang, here's something I just learned. In a room where you pick between gods/godesses, the one you don't pick will try to take you down.

#

I pissed Aphrodite off.

glass bone
#

I hate that

#

The chasing heart is a big headache for me despite looking like the easiest to dodge

quaint hatch
#

In the end content is self set mostly ig

fierce belfry
#

||wait so each time i beat hades the heat level goes up by one and i get new rewards right?||

void vigil
#

||you dont have to raise the heat level, but you can if you choose and get new rewards if you beat the previous level||

flat vapor
#

yep! rather, ||available bounty level goes up by one||

fierce belfry
#

ye ye

#

ok

#

thanks

#

thats annoying

#

||but tight deadline makes it easy||

west lion
#

Hmmm ok, I think Im winding down on my Hades playthrough. I already beat Bastion. Should I jump into Transitor or Pyre next? (Or something like hyper light drifter?)

fierce belfry
#

tf is that stuff

#

arent you supposed to use the spoiler thing

quaint hatch
#

I can recommend bastion then transistor then pyre
So In order of release

#

Really shows how supergiant finessed their style

#

Or are you looking for games similar to hades?

#

Sry cant read lol

maiden urchin
#

For ||1 heat you chose Tight deadline??||

west lion
#

Interested in both/any! Ideally in the below $60 price and fun for awitch haha

quaint hatch
#

Transistor then

west lion
#

*switch

Werdd

fierce belfry
#

For ||1 heat you chose Tight deadline??||
@maiden urchin yeah why not its still easy

quaint hatch
#

Pyre is not on switch

void vigil
#

if you liked hades' story aspect more, id recommend jumping into pyre, but if you liked the variety of boon combinations, id recommend transistor first

maiden urchin
#

TD is like one of my least favorite restrictions

#

Catch me with my 60 minute clears

fierce belfry
#

bruh howww

#

i finished tartarus in like 4 minutes

maiden urchin
#

I dont think i actually do 60 minutes but most of my clears are around 35-40

quaint hatch
#

I get hella stressed over time limitsshadegrief

#

Even tho I should be ok with around 27 mom clears

flat vapor
#

pyre is the most niche and unique sgg game, and hades' entire dialogue system/plot design is informed by it

maiden urchin
#

i usually just go with the one that gives enemies 1 acorn

quaint hatch
#

Does the time from td stack up or scaleM

#

?

maiden urchin
#

or the one that makes minibosses stronger cuz its fun

#

also the stronger barge of death is literally easier lol...

quaint hatch
#

JS is pretty forgiving too(more enemies)

flat vapor
#

transistor is a pseudo-turn based game that hades takes its many, many unique combination mechanics from

#

unfortunately, pyre isn't on switch... but transistor before pyre is how i would play them anyways

quaint hatch
#

Transistors story is also pretty good
