Camping the fight doesn’t work too well when you start doing time-limits
oh sorry how do spoilers work again its brackets?
||
@hushed hamlet also what is your problem with that?
|| on either side
Two
no 2 in both
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||
also there is 1 more option for spoilers https://i.imgur.com/r8Jb2Gc.png
Thanks!
Work yourself up to ||EM3 or EM4||
@hushed hamlet i prefer this for 16 ||https://i.imgur.com/O3fDIzC.png||
Any of the non-||god trinkets, like butterfly or plumb|| that would be good for higher runs?
gznm thanks I'll try it out
||Who should I focus on between Theseus and Asterius?||
@hushed hamlet ||tbh i didnt beat 16 but 15 was so easy so i see no way i fail it||
@hushed hamlet ||Persephone|| is always good
@golden lichen bull 1st
I go with Bull first
If you want, trade out before Styx for something like extra hearts / death defiance
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?
After his halfway health mark
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
I freaking start losing it when I have to deal with essentially three sets of attacks 😂
You don’t want a bull charging at you while avoiding God assistance
@golden lichen stay behind
Hydra with god assistance would be dope
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
ok u inspired me for ||16 heat|| run@hushed hamlet wish me luck
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
@proper quiver well Chaos fishes are... chaotic
@hushed hamlet max is either 59 or 64 or something like that
Check the|| #h1-high-heat-strategies for discussing a 32 heat run||
I didn’t remember exactly
same(
btw what|| does pink circles around enemies do? pact bonuses||
You mean the ||Pact thing to give Armored enemies special abilities||?
According to the Wiki, that’s the ||Linker|| I think
|| https://hades.gamepedia.com/Pact_of_Punishment under Additional information Benefits Package||
About fishing, if its a perfect catch, does the Rare with chance of legendary still apply
Its not an auto legendary right?
sad
and perfect scuffer
been trying to get the last one in the codex list for a while
im missing four
3 in chaos :/
lmao my man zagreus was just killed by an ||avalanche||
XDDD
Mine died because he was ||so bored|| this evening for me
i wonder how many unique ends there are
@barren ocean afaik there i||s one special when u made all of them||
i just had it some runs ago
How do I learn to play the lyre
interact with it a lot
by a lot, i mean ||over 200 times||, so i recommend just doing some in between runs
i guess not now ||https://i.imgur.com/KtgVOs3.png||
yes 1st timel
ah what?
2nd build is awfull
3rd it's already elisium so i have no much benefit ftom it
see no problem here
This game captures the essence of "Just one more run" better than any rogue like I've ever played before
well it's always intresting - "what new can i find"
Got the credits roll sequence! Ooh, that song is blood-chilling.
lol Smashed Theseus with bouldy till death
best death
@crisp zodiac good song right?
So good.
I keep forgetting about ||companions|| and that I can use them throughout
@tawdry flower u have tip in battles
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
well i prefer bouldy
it heals
also there is 1 trick i use vs secret boss
coins and darkness blocks his purple wave
That’s the one I use. I just forget to use it.
What font does Hades use for dialogue sections?
I somehow made it all the way to Styx without a boon in my attack slot or special slot
RNG will get you every time
I have finished giving Dusa the max amount of Ambrosia but I haven't gotten the bond forged message is that a glitch
huh Dusa voice is changing later in game
@void plinth mb u will have more dialogues later
It's been 30+ games since I finished though
Everytime I've seen Dusa she just has generic dialogue
rng
do u have the badge on her keepsake @void plinth
before I go into the final boss fight does anyone have advice for it?
@dense folio kill him
@carmine ravine what badge?
and dont get killed
bond badge
fair.
lol why am i not surprised Athena dash is most popular my boon - 44times
the skulls is the easy part wdym
Pressure Points and Hermes money is 2 and 3
Yo the bounties are not the same
yes @void plinth
I'm suppose to get ancients blood, but i got darkness when tisiphone
was killed
is this a bug?
@brisk trail ||it means u alredy beat her in that heat lvl||
@brisk trail ||you have to increase the amount of heat||
it's level 2
you can only get the rewards once, per heat level
dont forget guys ||heat|| is spoiler
only for new players channel
i mean if the heat bar is full it means i haven't right?
new players is different channel
ok
Is it though? I've seen articles about it, by that point it should be known to even non players
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
lol even channel description says no spoilers
@carmine ravine last boss and all things after last boss
no
yup
assk the mods
Can we get a mod here?
well it's not my words
yep, mods only say its only spoilers for new players
well u r not mod sorry
oaky
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.
So a discussion on how the rewards work ok?
idk what ||heat|| is cause i have no context for it but so many people are talking about it
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.
@old tinsel lol it's not the end
Bossuter, I think that discussion would be more apt in #h1-builds-and-combat.
Sorry I meant, like the guy was asking for clarification, he wasn't sure if the feature was a bug, that sorta thing?
In that case a quick clarification in spoilers was the right way to go about it in my opinion.
Ok
gznm how did your run go?
ah
wow ares Leg 13 room
Oh god
The other sisters are insane and you can’t romance them.
Alecto tho
I doubt it the game is pretty much complete.
romance Bouldy
Unless we get DLC perhaps.
romance Lernie
I’m pretty sure she would just kill you
hmm alecto romance
Na Leanie has a family
You already know Meg is the dominant one not Zag
@dawn linden same as Zag

Whose Lernie?
He be vibing
I don’t think I met a Lernie yet
Bone hydra
him? her!
This is true
@brisk trail at least Lernie always waiting you in asphodel
But other snakes maybe
i think she feels something for Zag too
Dusa is not quite human too btw
some ppl like her
I've died so many times and got nectar that I just started passing it out to ppl
like candy
lol
I only give my nectar to people once so I can get keepsakes then I give the rest to Meg
@brisk trail prophecies
I skim those
Oh yeah how do you get Hypnos and Hermes heart event
@brisk trail do u need keys yet?
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)
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
man, i keep dying at the same boss
@sharp fossil that was i said
i mean he loves his wife
and he doesnt act like Zeus in this questions
@brisk trail which?
the champions of elesium
Try focusing asterius first
i do
hades isnt the only one whos less garbage and always gets a bad rap lol
What gets you killed in the fight
honestly? this past run was just because i picked up a bad upgrade
@brisk trail try to stay away from Theseus first
(i'm trying to fulfill all the prophecies)
and first kill the bull
The most deadly part of Theseus is that smile, that damn smile.
theseus is garbage. i hate him
hades isnt the only one whos less garbage and always gets a bad rap lol
oh?
he's irritating
always try to stay behind the bull
I'm in a similar boat though. Always manage to off Asterius and then get killed by Theseus during his last phase
Hey guys, someone know if the soundtrack comes also in FLAC if i buy it in the epic store?
and when the bull charge - dodge https://i.imgur.com/opDdBJd.png
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
I think the answer is for us to just git gud
yep
And build up darkness for upgrades
i just need to git gud lmao
And renovate Hades more
It's just hard to actually do a lot of damage when you're continuously dashing away :/
Fully charged Artemis call is perfect for finishing Theseus almost immediately in his 2nd phase
I do save up my calls for that phase but...
I usually get him down to 10-25% before dying
Just need more practice
@random plover almost any call good for handling his call
Hey guys, someone know if the soundtrack comes also in FLAC if i buy it in the epic store?
Nobody :( ?
@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
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 creek what is flac
Audio format
sorry, what was your question then?
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
oh come on ares where are my hunting blades????????????????
@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
But also personal honor and vengeance
what an unlucky run
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
lol Poseidon quote about he has lot of nephews thx to Zeus
Greek mythology is largely the story of Zeus being unable to regulate his thirst
Be it as a man, a bull, a swan, ...
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
Oh yeah right
When Zeus gave her a golden shower
( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)
I've seen Danaia and Danaë
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)
@remote forge u mean hymn?
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...
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
I just cashed that in a few hours ago so yeah
Maybe it was only 10, I forget
I think it was 15
I think so. RNG will be RNG, though.
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
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
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
he has mate covered
I can't get over Darren voicing both Zag and Skelly... great job on both accents tbh
what are the most fun aspects to use?
Skelly lapses out of the NYC/Boston accent a bit but mostly it's pretty solid
I have ||hera|| and ||chiron||
Charged Skewer Breaching Skewer Artemis or Aphro Special and Hermes for faster Special@glacial zephyr
whats the next one to get (not bow)
@glacial patio any
aug! made it to the final boss for the first time!
Good job!
now show him
got my ass kicked
lol
Understandable
next time
ok show him next time
heck yeah
this game is rigged
sometimes I need to wait for ||legendary boons|| for like 20 runs
but now I got two in one run
i guess it was a HUGE mistake taking explosive shot for ||Rama||
Are the green projectile waves that come from the skulls in the final boss sometimes being invisible an intentional thing?
Is it just me or do i get better boons when i give the gods some nectar during a run?
@vague wraith never saw that
it’s just you lol
It’s happened multiple times for me
giving nectar doesn’t effect boon rarity
||but because the boss himself can turn invisible, I thought maybe the green waves being invisible was a feature of the fight||
no, they are always visible
that is 100% a bug yeah
Okay, so do I just mention that in the tech support channel, or is there somewhere else to report that?
you can press F10 in-game
I’m on switch
ah, then just mention it in the tech support channel, yeah
@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. =)
Don’t you need a capture card or something to record stuff on switch?
I might be able to get a screenshot though
any new info on cross save with switch?
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?
sholud be
Anyone have this problem where the interact button is not also the confirm button?
@mortal dawn wdym
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
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
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
@mortal dawn i'm afraid my english is not good enough to understand you sorry
does anyone else always make sure to || view the sunrise after a clear|| every single time
it is so beautiful
@bright lance I want to use it as a computer screen
sameee, I will probably do that right now actually
how many keepsakes are there? my achievement for getting all isn't getting unlocked, but i'm pretty sure i have all of them
are there any after ||persephones flower||?
yeah ok i'll keep playing then LOL
yeah gl with that
100th escape attempt!!! It’s going very poorly but I’m using the fists so at least it’s a good time:)
fun is all that matters right?
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
never did I think I would enjoy spending gems on decorating the house, but man is it fun
actually sometimes win was painful(
oh yeah dang, that game literally has an opposite effect sometimes lol
I was actually kind of sad my first win
@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
I literally sighed so hard in relief when i beat the boss the first time
Yikes, full revenge build.
how will chiron be post nerf?
i suppose investing titan blood into chiron is kinda a waste now?
wdym
Wait, what? From where?
bow special is being nerfed slightly in test branch but not chiron specifically
well but effectively a chrion nerf
& test branch doesnt necessarily mean its gonna be pushed to the game
#test-branch-updates for more info
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?
most recent pinned message explains it
Oh thx!!
endboss is so obvious tho is it even a spoiler?
who would thought it would be Heracles yes
exactly
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 door
I was so worried he wouldn’t show up but ever grateful he did 😂
@dusty ledge please post that in #self-promotion!
@slate jetty excuse me but where do you see the pinned messages on mobile app?
Press the people button top right then the thumbnail
@hoary canopy wow, never thought of that. Thanks! 
Np!
sorry @void vigil
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 😄
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
how to unlock || Rama || bow ?
I think all hidden aspects need five blood and talking to a specific person
@dusk mantle read pinned messages in #h1-story-discussion
@brisk trail #h1-tech-support or #h1-tech-fixes
@echo sluice thanks!
bro i don't want to read
sad for you
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. :/
didnt see that
@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.
@crisp zodiac I've unlocked all except the bow. Thanks a lot anyway!
@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
I dont know is there a way to manip exactly which room will appear
weird that there are no seeds ingame
Does Rupture or boss knockback damage do more damage?
more damage than what?
the other, presumably.
And it depends, probably.
On whatever weapon you're using, how frequently you can land hits with it
Yeah i was going through it myself that way
Rupture is good damage though
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
what does it mean? https://i.imgur.com/kVcmrWt.png
What's the best place to provide game feedback?
If I pass up a hammer will it reappear later in that floor?
it should reappear eventually, though it may be in a later zone
so i will still at the end of the run have two hammer upgrades?
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
aight thanks
when does thanatos appear
i've played for like 20 hours and haven't even encountered him yet
I don’t know exactly
15*
For me I had to keep going till he spawned in elysium then after that he can spawn anywhere
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
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
dash across obstacles to get the flamewheels to run into them
ohhhh so you can bait them like the minotaur
yup, except they explode and die when they crash
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.
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
I've won whenever i pick that up
usually with some hermes shenanigans like more dashes and sturdy
i remember back when it didn’t reduce your dash distance...
ah, good times
unbalanced, good times
the spear and shield are my two least favorite weapons
yet i have more clears with them
same except shield is great
how rare are duos when you don't have the mirror upgrade?
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.
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
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
if you’re shooting for Merciful End, you need athena special
dash doesn’t work as a prereq
oh rip
you still want the dash ofc, but you need the special as well
you can check the prereqs on the boon list
^
Having the prereqs in the codex is so clutch.
yeah, I just figured it was any main ability with deflect
it used to be
they made it harder to get, on account of it being broken as hell lol
impending doom yup
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
ME gets the job done
What's merciful end again?
and it takes longer for a fake bob
Honestly I get so few fishing things lol I just can't practice the timing enough
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
if you're waiting for ages for it to bob, you know it's fake and don't need to worry
Ok, I'll keep that in mind
If it bobbed 3 times, you know it has to be a bite next
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
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
Just do it on various heats
Blood is pretty easy to come by once you have a few wins under your belt
Some prophecies give a lot of blood too
2 per weapon per ||heat level||, plus the option to buy in Styx or trade up lesser materials
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
always make sure you have around 1k gold when you get to styx, you make up 200 in the hallways
why did i get 100 gold
the room was decided before the chaos expired
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||
you can trade weapons, but you gotta keep bumping it up higher
@jade crescent but i took gold after i had this buff
nope, the reward was decided first, it's not a collection multiplier but a room reward multiplier
Waffle, do i have to beat the final boss on each heat before I can get rewards from the next?
yes
@jade crescent but it affect any gold not only room reward
but it's the way it's applied, the reward has to appear after the chaos boon does it's thing
sorta
nonsense
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
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?
his favor is meeting him with his maxed keepsake
oh alright
Ngl I think his keepsake is one of the worst in the game
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
lmao sure, but even the best players get hit hard in higher heat
@jade crescent i'm just trying to sound cool
I can tell
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
There are a couple things in west hall that require upgrades from great hall or specific dialog with hades.
I think it's just more grunts lmao
I believe that, but i really really want to opposite to happen lol
same 🤞
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'
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)
just don't get hit tho lol
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*
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
you might have had to unlock all the weapons using keys first, MAYBE
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.
how to i upgrade my malphon to zagreus ?
After the first run I can choose not to ||use the pact of punishment|| right?
Yep. And that's preferable if you wanna fill up on Darkness
okay, thanks!
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.
random music question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-7smbYo29s&t=1s - total shot in the dark does anyone have tabs/ recordings of the bass lines? They are so badaass!!
This is a recording of the bass line of the "Through Asphodel" from the game Hades.
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.
I’m going to run the rail until I like it
Hell yeah
@drowsy finch
Charge shot shield is just bow but cooler 
Artemis sepcia
Just put zeus on attack and poseidon on dash. Maybe aphrodite or artemis on special.
You'll thank me later
Melt rooms
As well as the one that makes it so tyou can hurt yourself
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
I already enjoy special build Rail, so that’s not the problem
That's best way to use rail imo
Plus if you can gert Doom or Hangover or something on atack
Yeah but I wanna love the rail, not the rail’s launcher
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....
lightning
i would prefer the damage to be smaller but faster
Where/how do I report bugs?
if you're on pc, press f10 in-game for a bug reporter
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)
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...
Just dashing around an enemy over and over
Aspect of Demeter feels way better
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
@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?
@gleaming sparrow im at ~7-8 heat now
you could upload it to imgur and paste the link into the reporter
Ah! Sweet.
Great idea, thank you very much
I'm probably gonna spent my next batch of blood on aspect of demeter because it'll make the special an absolute beast, right?
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...
Hello! This might have been asked before, but is there a chance we get Hades in a physical release?
I would definitely buy a physical copy
The secret rail aspect was the last one I got too
no idea why it takes so much....
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
oh hey my first suicide was on exactly my 100th run
Lololol
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
thats why i play on switch 🙂 just press power button and get back to it next day 🙂
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.
Cross save compatibility is more work than just flipping a switch
Well, of course.
it's also still october
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.
Skelly is officially my favourite character
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
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
I thnk I have a clear with Shield, Sword, Spear, and Rail rn
Wow I was wrong
Blade - 5
Spear - 6
Shield - 4
Bow - 2
Fists - 7
Rail - 3
Just got out of Hell for first time
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?
congrats
Yeah that first clear is so satisfying
Indeed
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
Is there something specific I have to do for (weapon spoiler) ||the malphon legendary aspect?||
In #h1-story-discussion the list is in the pins
I got so close!! ||Hades killed me when he had less than one fourth health||
@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.
u mean Daedalus hammer?
Oops yeah
There are some really good hammers that carried me
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
||Chaos why won't you give me your legendary boon ? come oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon||
||I got a legendary boon this run! It gave me an extra use of death defiance||
The amount of salt right now
Hey can someone tell me how to gift Hades more drinks? I gave him 1 at the beginning of the game and now after I have beaten it, it still stays locked and I can't gift at all.
Story progression
Play more, certain events unlock hearts
Just do runs
I'm at like run 50. Does he need ambrosia?
I have that too
I wonder what item he could give me...
@sudden dock || you need to get to the credits ||
@sudden dock he can take a while is what I'll say (||basically the whole game||) though his keepsake is kinda eh IMO
I have gotten through the credits. As I said, I beaten it
Its like budget Ares
Story progression means wins
Also rng dialogue
I got it || the first time after doing another run after the credits || but idk if it’s always like this or rng
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||
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...
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
Codex seems basically independent of other things
yeah I just run guan yu and extra trap damage lol
I really did get it literally after the 1st run after the credits
Pog
@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.||
Though if you've done a lot of runs after the credits it's weird you haven't seen it yet 
I've done 1
Ah that explains it - yeah just run trap damage and die a lot :p
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
Not sure but some of the prophecies are kind of tough and "max each keepsake" is basically just play enough ||and beat the game||
I think some people are just "laser focused" on "progress" tbh
I’m focused on romancing Meg rn tbh
That is a correct focus.
i’m torn between dusa and meg
lol just turn off mirror, run trap damage, and equip guan yu. you'll have 15 hp so you die instantly
it’s like
i’m torn between dusa and meg
@spare ridge why not both
frick can’t i have both
Yes you can
oh ok then

that settles it
Actually Dusa ||can’t be romanced||
There is literally no downside to having all romances happening at once
||and one upside||
Dusa ||will just end up being your best friend||
This is true, but ||it's about the journey, my friend||
Dusa ||will just end up being your best friend||
@brisk trail that’s way better
how its better dammit
please keep it clean!
Big oof
yea
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.
Nice perspective yeah
i agree, i don’t think it’d work out very well if it went the other way
Games are mostly hella sexual if the have romance options

Jesus wine boy
Dio made me this way
ya know life is suffering when even a|| floating head friendzone you in a video game||
Can't blame the floating head
It'd just be weird
Aphrodite just told me ||when I get out she will take me to go meet some mortal maidens or gentlemen depending on my preference||
ngl ||guan yu aspect|| is hella fun
I should print out the boon charts because I’m never gonna remember the prerequisites for legendary or duo boons
I mean
It’s high up there for me
yeah, i open that boon codex very often...
I love games where you dodge fast and attack fast so this game feels like it was designed for me
ok boys
i love roguelikes and roguelites in general so
🙏
I’m actually not into rougelike games but this one, I love it.
may RNGsus be on your side today my friend
@buoyant merlin remember your codex
Don't waste your paper xD
this is so sad
@buoyant merlin Nope
It also shows you the prerequisites
SO MAD
If you press - on switch and idk on pc
also i don’t know how i never noticed the thing you use to reroll stuff is a d20
i’m kinda blind
Can I manipulate rng and get the sack on the challenge room
and not fight the guys
i think they choose it when you get into styx
DANG
yes you can
but idk i’m just guessing
sometimes I went to fight a boss and got a satyr sack instead
i usually get it like second try anyway
hopefully I get this right
well
em4 I had dionsysis's legendary skill last minute and it honestly saved the run
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?
https://i.imgur.com/xeWrEL3.png vs these greyed out ones
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
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)
greyed out is just to indicate the whole run is complete
^
What's the max heat level right now?
20
But isn't there a reward for 32?
I wonder how long it takes to completely run out of content for this game, at least 1000+ hours
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.
I hate that
The chasing heart is a big headache for me despite looking like the easiest to dodge
In the end content is self set mostly ig
||wait so each time i beat hades the heat level goes up by one and i get new rewards right?||
||you dont have to raise the heat level, but you can if you choose and get new rewards if you beat the previous level||
yep! rather, ||available bounty level goes up by one||
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?)
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
For ||1 heat you chose Tight deadline??||
Interested in both/any! Ideally in the below $60 price and fun for awitch haha
Transistor then
*switch
Werdd
For ||1 heat you chose Tight deadline??||
@maiden urchin yeah why not its still easy
Pyre is not on switch
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
TD is like one of my least favorite restrictions
Catch me with my 60 minute clears
I dont think i actually do 60 minutes but most of my clears are around 35-40
I get hella stressed over time limits
Even tho I should be ok with around 27 mom clears
pyre is the most niche and unique sgg game, and hades' entire dialogue system/plot design is informed by it
i usually just go with the one that gives enemies 1 acorn
or the one that makes minibosses stronger cuz its fun
also the stronger barge of death is literally easier lol...
JS is pretty forgiving too(more enemies)
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
Transistors story is also pretty good
