sterile coyote
#

What about maps they have to scale down because Switch can't handle it

narrow hemlock
#

i dont own a switch so i couldnt tell you but i dont think theres any different maps

fierce jackal
#

What's the absolute maximum possible boons from a run?

sterile coyote
#

Heroic

tribal glade
#

woo! finally beat ||hades|| with ||guan yu||!

drowsy finch
tribal glade
#

aaaand i just realised theres a specific channel for victory boasts, lol

#

just as much a sigh of relief as a boast this time though ><

noble marsh
#

This is been kinda driving me nuts. For dozens of runs now, I return to the house to see the contractor with the 'super !' (the one with the starburst around it), but every time I check it, there is nothing there that's new, at all. What does it want of me?! lol

tribal glade
#

not new, just stuff on the main list that you can afford

zealous flare
#

yeah, its probably just because you can afford one of the ||UIs||

noble marsh
#

@zealous flare any place where I can see the result before actually spending the resources? lol

flat vapor
noble marsh
#

I just bought one of them, entered my room and exited, and it's back, lol...

dire coyote
#

Is there a keepsake that guarantees a hammer at the start of a run like the gods have for their boons?

zealous flare
#

yeah i thought the same thing, there's not really a great preview for them

#

but theyre all different resources right

#

like the idea is youre just going to get all of them once you get more resources than you know what to do with

#

@dire coyote no

noble marsh
#

yeah, it's still happening after buying one of them...I don't need to buy all of them to get it to go away, do I? lol

zealous flare
#

there is no keepsake that has any kind of interaction with daedalyus

#

i think so

#

it will be there for as many as you have the resources to buy

#

i think theyre considered like "main" upgrades

#

so it will give you the alert when there is something there

tepid plover
#

yeah, it's still happening after buying one of them...I don't need to buy all of them to get it to go away, do I? lol
@noble marsh thats gonna be there as long as you have something that you can purchase in the work orders tab

#

work orders are gameplay stuff

noble marsh
#

oh, I see

tepid plover
#

surprised they kept decorative themes in there

#

but yeah

#

it will go away once theres nothing purchasable or affordable in the work orders

#

i had to buy the themes cause it was triggering me

noble marsh
#

purchasable OR afforable lol

#

got it

tepid plover
#

yeah, if you cant afford anything it will go away

#

until you can

woeful finch
#

What do the themes do? I can’t even tell a difference

pseudo onyx
#

does hunter dash dash strike also work on the fists dash special?

tepid plover
#

What do the themes do? I can’t even tell a difference
they change your boon/victory menu

worn umbra
#

what's the highest heat that you can get bounties for

tepid plover
#

you get bounty for every single heat

worn umbra
#

like

#

even the ridiculously high ones?

tepid plover
#

yes?

#

every single heat level has the same bounties

tribal glade
#

yep you keep getting blood/diamonds for each heat level

worn umbra
#

like 50?
wow

tepid plover
#

yeah

tribal glade
#

i mean, if you want to max out every weapon you're gonna want to get those rewards each time 🙂

worn umbra
#

i thought it stopped at like 20

tepid plover
#

no lol

tribal glade
#

nope

tepid plover
#

it never stops

#

until 63

#

which is the highest max heat

woeful finch
#

After a certain point I don’t think you can do much with the rewards

tribal glade
#

i mean, the blood is always useful (unless you just like the 1-2 weapons/aspects in which case you max them pretty quick)

woeful finch
#

After you max all I mean

shell ice
#

hold on

#

this is misinformation

#

you can only get bounties 20 times per weapon

unkempt sleet
#

Technically 21 because it starts at heat 0

shell ice
#

ah true

tribal glade
#

oh, right

unkempt sleet
#

But the cap for bounties should be 20

shell ice
#

yep

#

bounties are capped at 20 heat

tribal glade
#

my bad - i was wrong, sorry about that

shell ice
#

now you can set the heat higher than that and still get bounties

#

but only up till the 20 heat bounty

#

(just because a clear at, say, 32 heat counts for the 14 heat bounty for instance)

#

(if you already had the 13 heat bounty that is)

unkempt sleet
#

You really don't need more than 240 blood anyway

shell ice
#

yeah its really excess, and if you absolutely NEED more you can always trade up for it

#

at a certain point keys become pretty useless for instance

tepid plover
#

i am sorry about the missinformation

shell ice
#

and there are other ways to get more, i.e. ||styx shop|| and ||Surface fishing||

tepid plover
#

didnt know

#

so do you just get darkness as bounty after 20?

unkempt sleet
#

Yep

tepid plover
#

that sucks

raven lava
#

no wait hang on

tepid plover
#

you should get a boon

raven lava
#

weapons are 5+15+16+15 per
which is 51
times six is 306 blood for all aspects

unkempt sleet
#

At that point it doesn't really matter what you get cause you should have basically everything maxed out

raven lava
#

that's not counting themes or stuff

static wadi
#

@raven lava so

tepid plover
#

thats why i said a boon

#

not currency

raven lava
#

so two blood per bounty level

tepid plover
#

i do have everything maxed out pretty much

raven lava
#

times 21 bounties

#

times six weapons

#

is only 252

static wadi
#

42*6 yes

raven lava
#

you need to get 54 blood from other sources

static wadi
#

but prophecies. fishing. charon.broker

raven lava
#

some of that is prophecy

shell ice
#

yeah theres a slight gap, but generally the difference isnt hard to make up

lunar cypress
#

Why does Maim need to buff enemies ;~;

tepid plover
#

cause it debuffs them

shell ice
#

i'd imagine the vast majority of players will have maxed all weapons

#

before reaching the bounty cap

#

without really trying

static wadi
#

@raven lava and tbh u dint need to max all weap

inner fossil
#

Golden Touch has ended up being awesome. Feel like I always have 1100+ gold going into Styx

raven lava
#

it'll annoy me if i don't

tepid plover
#

i havent clear a single heat 20 yet and i am maxed in weapons

inner fossil
#

And that still allows me to buy some health, rare boons, fishies, or gates

lunar cypress
#

Golden Touch needs a lot of yourself denying any shops early which can help you out though

tepid plover
#

^

#

as long as you dont shop, golden touch is amazing

#

especially if you start with coin purse and find sisyphus early

lunar cypress
#

Whereas Deep Pockets gives you basically as much gold as Golden Touch would throughout the run, without having to be cheap

tepid plover
#

lol no

static wadi
#

@tepid plover i prefer early boost for reliable end

tepid plover
#

to each their own

inner fossil
#

It's also sweet when you run into the Daedalus that turns money into damage

tepid plover
#

im not missing out on anything most of the time

inner fossil
#

Like, really buttering my biscuit

raven lava
#

i think only sword has that hammer though

lunar cypress
#

If Golden Touch was instead a % boost to money, or maybe a flat but assured amount per tier...then I could see it

raven lava
#

which if you're running any other weapon for the dark thirst won't happen

tepid plover
#

im really sad, i can only use my dakrness for a crappy badge, i really expected i could buy like an extra boon at the beginning with some high amount of darkness

lunar cypress
#

Sadly not

tepid plover
#

make it actually matter

woeful finch
#

Im at a point where I regularly win my bounties without trying hard so I golden touch to save up for the Styx blood/diamond and only spend it on darkness/gems along the way

shell ice
#

i think they wanted to make a "maxed" build cheaper/acquired earlier

lunar cypress
#

No third mirror tier or additional talents either :P

shell ice
#

probably so that everyone is on the "same playing ground" at some point

#

like they reduced the costs of a lot of the late mirror upgrades

#

i'd imagine so players max out gameplay bonuses earlier

tepid plover
#

cause even when the resource director is maxed, then darkness is completely useless, making killing bosses not rewarding

woeful finch
#

Eh, i don’t think I they wanted to lock any gameplay advantage behind hundreds of hours of grinding

shell ice
#

yeah thats my point

tepid plover
#

well isnt like im hurting anyone else

#

game is singleplayer

woeful finch
#

It’s all pointless in the end

shell ice
#

sure, but people like to share victory screens/speedrun times/high heat clears/whatever

tepid plover
#

that can still happen?

lunar cypress
#

I think its less locking behind a gameplay advantage and more just "I want more goodies to unlock"

woeful finch
#

I mean it’s kind of like playing an rpg with a max level

shell ice
#

and while yeah you can just copy over the savefile of someone who's maxed the game

woeful finch
#

It’s gotta stop somewhere (usually)

shell ice
#

i dont think thats part of the intende dgameplay experience lmao

tepid plover
#

you can simply share speedrunning rules

shell ice
#

i definitely wouldnt mind more goodies though!

tepid plover
#

like not buying it

shell ice
#

i dont really like the idea of spending resources in-run to unlock a temporary advantage for that run, honestly

lunar cypress
#

Eh, wouldnt have to be temporary ones

shell ice
#

i think the only thing that does that is ||bouldy||? and its so minor

lunar cypress
#

Just gimme a "boon slot" or something

tepid plover
#

then make it so bosses give a boon or something else, like for me right now, killing a boss is literally non rewarding

lunar cypress
#

Or a hammer reroll ability

tepid plover
#

a boss should give some superior stuff

raven lava
#

they do

tepid plover
#

not after 20 apparently

shell ice
#

they give a significant amount of health restoration with the right mirror

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

raven lava
#

unless you have all the bounties done which at that point wow

tepid plover
#

that mirror sucks imo, i rather have a constant 3 per room

raven lava
#

they give a significant amount of health restoration with the right mirror
you hardly need that since there's a fountain RIGHT THERE

tepid plover
#

especially in styx

#

what karpin said too

woeful finch
#

If they update the game, it would be cool to let us customize runs in great detail like pick specific boons, hammers, Special modifiers thy normally aren’t available, etc. They could gate that behind resource costs

lunar cypress
#

Yeah the 3 per room is pretty much the objectively better one, even if its minor

tepid plover
#

^

#

it really is

raven lava
#

3 per room adds up

shell ice
#

if youre playing on high heat, a fountain will very rarely restore you to full

#

unless you have strong drink

tepid plover
#

darkness is too situation

raven lava
#

same reason ||pom blossom|| is good in styx

woeful finch
#

Then the competitive speed runners can play “standard” but we could use excess resources to customize runs for fun

shell ice
#

admittedly styx is a disadvantage of heal-for-darkness rather than heal-by-room, yeah

#

but at high heat, elysium is scarier than styx anyway

tepid plover
#

id gladly take a boon over darkness, especially at high heat, which is where it happens the most

shell ice
#

(though at high enough heat you don't get ANY healing besdes SD)

#

(so, meh)

lunar cypress
#

That sounds awful

unkempt sleet
#

An extra boon (or three in this case) has the potential to be very significant in high heat, so I don't think it would be good. If you're uo to 20 heat, you also probably don't need any rare resource anymore. Getting golden laurel rewards at bosses really breaks the balance imo

shell ice
#

i guess the thing is

#

IMO thej game doesnt need to be easier

#

and giving 3 free boons per run would make the game a lot easier

tepid plover
#

it doesnt

unkempt sleet
#

As a side note, the badges cost 300k darkness in total

shell ice
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lunar cypress
#

Why not give options for those who want it tho?

tepid plover
#

but the badge sucks, thats my point, they couldve done something else tbh

lunar cypress
#

Besides God Mode which is its own thing

tepid plover
#

something cooler

shell ice
#

because if those options exist, it'll be the "standard" to use them

tepid plover
#

not just something on the bottom right of my screen i ever see anyway

lunar cypress
#

Have em not applicable to leaderboards or something then

shell ice
#

like the devs have to balance to what a player can be expected to have

unkempt sleet
#

You're at 20 heat, you're already cool for getting there

shell ice
#

devs arent balancing assuming youre not buying extra DDs from the mirror

tepid plover
#

because if those options exist, it'll be the "standard" to use them
you can always make rules

woeful finch
#

I would imagine if they gave us options to customize runs they could also do like daily challenges with leaderboards and stuff

#

A lot of people would pay for something like that

unkempt sleet
#

Well not cool because that's a lot of heat

shell ice
#

my point is from a balance perspective

tepid plover
#

is a single player game bro

lunar cypress
#

^

tepid plover
#

youre not hurting anyone

shell ice
#

i mean, every single patch since early access has come with balance changes

#

so the devs clearly care

tepid plover
#

yes

#

but isnt like 3 extra boons will kill the game

tribal glade
#

speaking of god mode - its a shame you can't "lock" it in at a specific %

shell ice
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tribal glade
#

i'll never use it because i dont have that option

shell ice
#

i guess i see killing bosses as enough of an intrinsic reward

#

to not need an external motivator

tribal glade
#

but i'd be tempted to try it if i could just lock it in

tepid plover
#

in most games, most especifially roguelikes, killing a boss is rewarding

#

with a powerful item

#

in slay the spire you even have boss specific relics

shell ice
#

i never really felt like killing a boss "wasnt satisfying"

#

personally

lunar cypress
#

I see what he's saying though

shell ice
#

like between the chance to use the fountain, change your keepsake, go shopping

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tepid plover
#

well satisfying and rewarding isnt the same thing

lunar cypress
#

Past bounties its a big downgrade

tepid plover
#

like killing a boss for bounties is rewarding

#

after that

#

it just sucks

#

especially darkness lol

#

give me some gems at least

#

for house cosmetic

shell ice
#

it does

lunar cypress
#

Or gold

tepid plover
#

not the stupid contractor item

lunar cypress
#

Or even some max HP

tepid plover
#

that gives close to nothing lol

unkempt sleet
#

Having boons at the boss would effectively invalidate UC at high hear, so I don't think that's a good idea

woeful finch
#

I rather have the darkness

tepid plover
#

and you have o unlock it

shell ice
#

it gives a significant amount for later bosses

#

and youll definitely unlock it by the time youre done your bounties lmao

woeful finch
#

If you are going for 100% then I think darkness is the biggest grind

lunar cypress
#

Let us earn pets from bosses

#

Cosmetics

#

Have Zag wear a mini Lernie on his head

tepid plover
#

i go for 100% I in fact have everything i want. the badge just seem underwhelming

#

it has no presence at all

shell ice
#

i mean it feels like youre discussing two separate things

tepid plover
#

they both go together

shell ice
#

one that darkness seems useless lategame, the other that killing bosses feels unrewarding to you

#

and yeah theyre connected but

woeful finch
#

It would be pretty cool to have different “skins” for zag I guess, even just recolors

tepid plover
#

killing bosses feels unrewarding cause it gives me darkness which is useless late game

#

is literally the same topic

lunar cypress
#

The Kid skin, turns the Stygian Blade into the hammer

shell ice
#

it just feels like we're ping-ponging; do you want darkness to have more uses or do you want bosses to offer a different reward?

tepid plover
#

they explained why no skin

lunar cypress
#

Hitbox problems?

shell ice
#

or would you be fine with either?

tepid plover
#

either or

#

would be fine

shell ice
#

@lunar cypress animation difficulties

lunar cypress
#

That's fair

shell ice
#

every weapon, aspect, etc is individually animated

tepid plover
#

either give darkness meaning late game, or make bosses give something good

#

yeah the game is 2d

shell ice
#

adding skins would require them to

#

reanimate

#

everything

tepid plover
#

they cant really add skins

lunar cypress
#

Yeah its true its not just a 3D model

shell ice
#

kind of a shame but it makes sense

lunar cypress
#

Forgot bout that

tepid plover
#

it just feels like we're ping-ponging; do you want darkness to have more uses or do you want bosses to offer a different reward?
you cant make a late game feature give you an early game currency, it literally makes no sense

#

make the badge bigger lmao

shell ice
#

i like the badge as-is

#

it feels like its sort of meant to be "stupidly opulent" if that makes sense

woeful finch
#

A recolor wouldn’t require more animations but yeah

tepid plover
#

i dont like it at all, it feels the same, unlike the themes

shell ice
#

like in the dialogue where the resource director is introduced

#

its introduced in the context where

#

it does absolutely nothing

#

and this is played off as a subtle joke

#

like "you should pay your employer for no reason"

#

i think the gaudiness is part of the irony

#

but yeah i wouldnt mind bosses having more in-run rewards i guess, i just never really felt what you're feeling

#

regarding bosses being unrewarding

raven meteor
#

Bosses drop 5 max hp

tepid plover
#

lmfao

woeful finch
#

Boss drops onion please

tepid plover
#

^

fading gazelle
#

Lmao

tepid plover
#

now thats what im talking about

shell ice
#

thatd make it a lot easier to complete the codex

#

!!

viscid axle
#

Is there an appropriate channel for suggestions or bug reports?

tepid plover
#

helpme with my codex

fading gazelle
#

No banne dusa

shell ice
#

f10

woeful finch
#

Yeah I still need like 3 more onions

lunar cypress
#

Let us fry the onion in asphodel

tepid plover
#

Is there an appropriate channel for suggestions or bug reports?
f10 in game

fading gazelle
#

@viscid axle You can press f10 ingame !

lunar cypress
#

Bloomin' onion

tepid plover
#

LET US FRY THE FISHES IN ASPHODEL

fading gazelle
shell ice
#

the only thing i have left in codex is ||Chaos fish|| i think

tepid plover
#

id gladly burn all my knuckleheads

shell ice
#

oh also a couple of the ||chthonic companions||

tepid plover
#

im only missing the onion and greece fish

shell ice
#

i should probably get around to maxing that out

woeful finch
#

Ugh I literally only gotten a chaos fish once

tepid plover
#

everytime i win theres no fish

woeful finch
#

I had a fishing lure show up in Charon well today while chaos portal was up and I stupidly didn’t buy it

#

I was kicking myself

tepid plover
#

altf4 lol

#

blood and darkness

viscid axle
#

but #h1-tech-support is also a place to get help @viscid axle
@fading gazelle Thanks, i like how many channels there are

fading gazelle
#

it's very convenient squirtnya

viscid axle
#

On a non-bug related note, i was thinking it would be really handy for players to track perks better if there was perhaps a "passive" note on boons that cant be upgrade in the Lv. sense. Subtle and helps when evaluating paths and rewards.

#

i.e. chaos, bouldy, etc boons

raven meteor
#

That would be nice. I've picked up a few poms before trying to level a god boon that i didn't realise couldn't be leveled

viscid axle
#

same

#

once with no other boons 😩

#

couldnt use

woeful finch
#

I didn’t think you could get a Pom if you didn’t have any boons that can be leveled

raven meteor
#

I've had ||infernal troves|| offer me them when i didn't have any boons at all

#

Also i think i had one pop up in a shop

static wadi
#

@raven meteor arent troves are just money or darkness?

tepid plover
#

Troves dont give poms?

woeful finch
#

You can get a nectar from a trove if you clear it fast enough I think?

viscid axle
#

infernal challenges i presume

raven meteor
#

Sorry, not trove. Forgot what the thing is called that needs heat to enter

static wadi
#

@woeful finch not fast just random

#

but it's not vintage

tepid plover
#

You can get a nectar from a trove if you clear it fast enough I think?
That nectar can't level up

static wadi
#

regular nectar]

woeful finch
#

Oh ok maybe it will roll an Erebus Pom

#

Haven’t seen it

tepid plover
#

What

woeful finch
#

But I’ve never seen a Pom (or even a nectar for that matter) offered when I didn’t have an eligible boon

raven meteor
#

Also, is it just me or is the secondary reward for picking things up completely inconsistent? For example, darkness from bosses gives 5 max hp, but the gemstones don't give obel?

tepid plover
#

Lmfao

#

Thatd be cool actually

#

If the gemstones gave you 20 gold

woeful finch
#

The secondary reward typically applies if it’s a room reward

#

Darkness from bosses is a room reward when you’ve already claimed the bounty, but the gems aren’t

static wadi
#

@raven meteor contratctor upgrades work only for room rewards

tepid plover
#

Itd be a lot cooler tho

raven meteor
#

I had assumed the gemstones count as room rewards, too...

tepid plover
#

Pump up golden touch

woeful finch
#

But idk, because I’m pretty sure the nectar you get from poseidon(?) boom gives you the contractor bonus

tepid plover
#

Pos cant give nectar

raven meteor
#

Dionys' boon gives nectar

static wadi
#

@tepid plover can sometimes

tepid plover
#

Yes I can

woeful finch
#

Oh yeah dio

tepid plover
viscid axle
#

But idk, because I’m pretty sure the nectar you get from poseidon(?) boom gives you the contractor bonus
@woeful finch if they are supposed to mines bugged cause it doesnt

static wadi
#

boon for random reward can give nectar sometimes

tepid plover
#

Is dio who gives nectar

woeful finch
#

I might be mistaken I jsut thought I saw it

tepid plover
#

Not pos

fleet zephyr
#

im guessing if i want to replace a main boon slot, its faster to purge it than to get luck and roll a replacement boon?

static wadi
#

but it also basic nectar

#

not vintage

raven meteor
#

Jiku, yes

tepid plover
#

^

raven meteor
#

What's the difference?

tepid plover
#

Lower chance

#

Simple

#

Lol

#

Is easier to get it as a normal reward, than as a replacement

#

Also, if you purge it, you can get some gold for it

#

Although the replacement rarity is clutch

#

But it might not happen

raven meteor
#

But if you purge it, you're not guaranteed to have the replacement be same level with a higher rarity

static wadi
#

@raven meteor yes

tepid plover
#

Correct

#

Thats why i said it

raven meteor
#

Actually, you're guaranteed to have a level 1 boon

tepid plover
#

Youre guaranteed to have a higher rarity boon

#

As a replacement

woeful finch
#

Replacing also keeps the levels though

viscid axle
#

pure profit

tepid plover
#

True

woeful finch
#

I wouldn’t purge if it’s been leveled

tepid plover
#

But the thing is, is harder to get the replacement you want

pseudo onyx
#

so i have a fate saying to get the contractors to do stuff with the lounge but... I've purchased many many things now and cleaned it up and etc and it still hasn't been fulfilled, am I missing something? Do I need to wait for a conversation with dusa to happen?

raven meteor
#

Eh, if it's something like a doom boon for attack on your spear/sword, it might be worth purging for something else

static wadi
#

@pseudo onyx yes

tepid plover
#

He said especifically he was looking for something else

#

Meaning he doesnt want it

#

So yeah purging might make it easier

raven meteor
#

You'd need an extremely high level bad boon to consider not selling it in the hopes of a better but random boon

viscid axle
#

SO, turns out the Stygian sword hammer upgrade "Double Nova" synergizes really well with Poseidon's upgrade to the same skill. retaining your knockback

tepid plover
#

Just like the double strike from shield also keeps the knockback

viscid axle
#

noted

crisp zodiac
#

They take away the weapon's innate knockback, but the knockback from the boon is seperate.

viscid axle
#

big shield fan

tepid plover
#

Shield is my 2nd fav

#

Love the chaos one

viscid axle
#

they should do a poll, or better yet just release the pick rate per weapon per run for the playerbase

raven meteor
#

I really don't like the shield tbh... Not enough dps

viscid axle
#

thatd be neat

tepid plover
#

I really don't like the shield tbh... Not enough dps
That just depends on your boons lol

#

Not really the weapon

#

Hey zag

brisk trail
#

they should do a poll, or better yet just release the pick rate per weapon per run for the playerbase
@viscid axle chances are the worse weapons will be chosen more since people want those rewards and to complete the game 100%

viscid axle
#

excluding data pre unlocking all weapons of course

barren ocean
#

My fastest clear time is on Aegis

raven meteor
#

I mean, the same boon would increase my DPS more on a different weapon than the shield

tepid plover
#

Not really

barren ocean
#

^

tepid plover
#

It depends on hammers and everything

@viscid axle chances are the worse weapons will be chosen more since people want those rewards and to complete the game 100%
@brisk trail that in itself is still interesting

brisk trail
#

For example my favorite is the fists but I get the rewards quite easily with it so I have to keep retrying with the crappy ones like the bow

raven meteor
#

Quite a few boons increase damage By %

barren ocean
#

Also the different specials the shield gives can be super high dmg

tepid plover
#

Like ares strike with the stacking doom, can give you more dmg on shield with double strike, than on sword with big chop

#

It all comes down to your current build

#

Thats why there's no best weapon or aspect

#

It just depends on what you get in your run

brisk trail
#

Fists are OP

fading gazelle
#

Debatable

tepid plover
#

All weapons are op

fading gazelle
#

Agreed

brisk trail
#

I disagree

tepid plover
#

Unfortunate

brisk trail
#

Unless your counting boons

fading gazelle
#

A shame

brisk trail
#

Boons can help

fading gazelle
#

Boons are a core part of gameplay...

tepid plover
#

Boons is what decide

brisk trail
#

Without Boons the spear is horrible

tepid plover
#

Without boons anything is horrible

fading gazelle
#

I disagree

#

Swan can disagree

#

They've done boonless runs

tepid plover
#

Ok

#

Nvm

#

Didn't even know that was possible

granite ether
#

Boonless runs are quite hard

tepid plover
#

Like not winning, but actually not getting any boons

fading gazelle
#

VERY hard

brisk trail
#

I would never give up the chance of getting a Boon

barren ocean
#

Hold up

#

Did you just say Varatha is horrible

tepid plover
#

Yeah same zag

brisk trail
#

My phone keeps autocorrecting Boon for Boob 😭

tepid plover
#

I reroll my obols and centaur hearts for boons

barren ocean
#

LOL

fading gazelle
#

Nice dusa

barren ocean
#

All weapons are good and fun once you get used to em

raven meteor
#

The trinket that gives damage bonus to boonless things can make boonless spear great

fading gazelle
#

Shattered Shackle

barren ocean
#

I'd never go boonless tho

tepid plover
#

Sisyphus is just amazing all around

static wadi
#

@raven meteor and lucky hammer and chaos stuff

tepid plover
#

I love shady

brisk trail
#

My favorite items are the shield and fists

raven meteor
#

My fav is spear and bow

fading gazelle
#

That's a fair opinion

#

I love all weapons

tepid plover
#

My favorite items are the shield and fists
Same, just not in that order

fading gazelle
#

Since finding meme and niche builds are so much fun

brisk trail
#

I’m really bad with the spear and bow

raven meteor
#

I'm best with spear and not horrid with bow, and terrible with most other weapons

#

Trying to get better at them

brisk trail
#

You fight from a distance?

#

I prefer close range.

fading gazelle
#

That's a nice opinion

raven meteor
#

I use spear attack

fading gazelle
#

But spear is melee

#

So...

brisk trail
#

Spear is like Thor’s hammer

raven meteor
#

It keeps enemies at a very comfortable range where i can do significant damage with minimal risk

brisk trail
#

You throw it and it comes flying back

#

Like a boomerang

raven meteor
#

Special is useful against lernie, but otherwise the only time i use it is when i'm too far away to melee

brisk trail
#

Anyone else feel bad for Sisyphus?

tepid plover
#

I do

#

I also feel bad for hypnos

brisk trail
#

Whenever I see him I feel bad

tepid plover
#

Hypnos deserved more love

brisk trail
#

We should be able to romance Hypnos

#

Or make him our best friend

static wadi
#

he just need to sleep a bit

tepid plover
#

To be fair, sisyphus had it coming

brisk trail
#

Hypnos > Dusa

#

I do not regret what I just said.

viscid axle
#

Hades> Not having Hades

fading gazelle
#

@tepid plover Please keep it clean squirtnya

viscid axle
#

Change my mind

brisk trail
#

Lowkey tf Dio

tepid plover
brisk trail
#

Dusa is a floating head

tepid plover
#

Exactly

brisk trail
tepid plover
brisk trail
#

Kinda sus

tepid plover
#

Not much else you can do lmao

fading gazelle
#

Cease this tom foolery

brisk trail
#

Why don’t we have a Hypnos and Meg emoji?

tepid plover
#

Dude. Come to think of it, zag, the prince of the underworld, really got friend zoned by a maid disembodied gorgon

brisk trail
#

Lowkey I wish Hypnos would have a spin off game.

#

I’d buy it.

#

Dude. Come to think of it, zag, the prince of the underworld, really got friend zoned by a maid disembodied gorgon
@tepid plover that was your choice. I’m not gonna pursue a relationship with her.

#

I don’t like Dusa.

tepid plover
#

Lmfao

#

Hater

#

Dusa is the best thing the house of hades has, after cerb

brisk trail
#

Lol she’s my only issue with the game.

#

I don’t hate her but I don’t like her lol

tepid plover
#

Understandable

brisk trail
#

I guess not everyone has that natural swagger like Hypnos

#

Dude just wants to sleep

#

That’s a vibe

tepid plover
#

I want to sleep too

#

On top of meg

brisk trail
#

You’ve had too much wine I think

tepid plover
#

Is there such thing as too much wine for dionysus?

brisk trail
#

I mean-

#

Yes

tepid plover
#

Ok

#

Then yeah

brisk trail
#

He is a god and can do a lot of things while drunk

#

Like idk... cause the end of the world

tepid plover
#

Don't tempt me zag

static wadi
#

ok got a bouldy run

#

like a guarantee for succesfull run

pseudo onyx
#

curse of drowning seems... bad

static wadi
#

what is that exactly?

pseudo onyx
#

things dont really get pushed back anymore and it doesnt apply ares's debuff

static wadi
#

Ares/pos?

pseudo onyx
#

flood shot becomes pulse that damages foes around you

slate jetty
#

and pulses 3 times

pseudo onyx
#

I sort of accidentally found myself using a short range build with the gun LOL just because I was chasing unchosen fate things. So I have a shotgun and that so it's not too bad I guess but it feels silly

static wadi
#

well i guess it requires more pos boons

#

Shotgun is a good deel

#

only thing is better is rocket shotgun

tepid plover
#

Haha rocket shotgun go brr

pseudo onyx
#

the shotgun ... it seems like it fires way too fast when you dash and attack

static wadi
#

redacted go aghhh

pseudo onyx
#

I mean, great, apply all the stacks of drunk but

static wadi
#

@pseudo onyx dio not best choice for shotgun imo

#

if u have not bad base damage

cursive solar
#

i just need to complain for a sec cus this is the second time Ive gotten a bass out of a perfect catch in the surface and i still dont have the last surface fish

u want some scales

i am upsetti

pseudo onyx
#

well, I didn't know that's what I was gonna roll

#

wouldn't do it this way but like I said

Im just getting weird stuff from the fates lol

#

@cursive solar rip(

#

i didnt have perfect catches there anyway

#

@pseudo onyx prophecies should be fullfield

viscid axle
#

What do you guys think of a starting item that lets you store up excess healing? Like armor in a way but its accumulated from all unused healing

static wadi
#

what

#

ah got it

#

like jar of hearts in TBOI?

viscid axle
#

Yus

#

I think that could be dope, or maybe a boon

#

it may be out of place as a starting relic

#

as in, not strong enough

static wadi
#

too strong imo

#

and how do u use it

viscid axle
#

passive of course

#

and it could be a percentage of your current max health for inherint scaling but have it at like 15%

#

that fairly reasonable

static wadi
#

i do not like the idea

viscid axle
#

that weay it doesnt outright break builds with health restraints

static wadi
#

sometimes u will have healing if u dont want

#

and sometimes you cant heal when u want

viscid axle
#

im not sure when the latter occurs but the former can be avoided by not picking the boons

#

boon*

#

just a thought is all

static wadi
#

I just dont understand it

#

@remote wing spoilers

#

also ||after ur 10th escape iirc||

#

so delete ur msg pls

remote wing
#

Thanks

static wadi
#

yup

#

lol i just realised i had almost all revenge boon in this run

#

only Dem is missing

arctic eagle
#

hey i have a quick question?

#

can some one help me real quick

crisp zodiac
#

Just ask it.

remote wing
#

Sure, what's up?

arctic eagle
#

im useing the knuckles and my special inflicts doom if i were to get rush kick would the doom be applied in a aoe to every one i hit?

crisp zodiac
#

Yeah. Try it.

arctic eagle
#

it attacks twice so would doom be applied twice or just once?

crisp zodiac
#

Doom doesn't stack by default.

gaunt portal
#

doom is only ever applied once unless you get that boon that means it does extra damage if you stack it

arctic eagle
#

ahhh okay

crisp zodiac
#

There's a boon that makes the first instance get stronger if other instances attempt to be placed before detonation.

arctic eagle
#

but it does apply in a aoe situation to every one?

crisp zodiac
#

Yeah, like any other attack, it works on what it hits.

steady cargo
#

Hmm am I missing something

#

I'm doing my first run with ||aspect of lucifer and I'm not able to shoot my orb since I'm locked onto enemies||

#

I feel like I'm doing something wrong hahah

viscid axle
#

does anyone know if you have a different attack that applies more doom but in this instance hit second, would it change the doom damage inflicted to match the higher skill?

granite ether
#

@steady cargo please spoiler tag ||4th aspects||, they're spoilers in this channel

steady cargo
#

So sorry, didn't know! Fixed my post

granite ether
#

Ty ^_^

agile saddle
#

is Eternal Chamber worth it if using Zues attack boon on ||Lucifer ||aspect? or is the no ramp a loss of damage?

sinful fjord
#

just got hades. its fun. tips for minmaxing? (im a min maxer lol)

agile saddle
#

kinda hard to min-mas RNG

sinful fjord
#

so far the sword slam seems strong. can just hide behind corners and AOE them.

#

rng?

agile saddle
#

all stuff in the game is random

sinful fjord
#

like what the abilities do

agile saddle
#

like the upgrades u get

sinful fjord
#

and what order you get them?

shell ice
#

you can still get pretty specific builds with keepsake shenanigans

agile saddle
#

u can curb it with an item

shell ice
#

and rerolls

agile saddle
#

but in the end 90% is random

shell ice
#

but certainly there will always be some randomness, it's a roguelite

sinful fjord
#

why did they make it rng? to make each playthru different?

shell ice
#

yeah, part of the genre

agile saddle
#

i feel like resetting boons/wells/selling well is better then rerolling a room

sinful fjord
#

what are the best and worst weapons

shell ice
#

all of the weapons are viable, "best" depends on what metric youre measuring "best" by

rich grotto
#

they all have strengths and weaknesses.

agile saddle
#

its a lot of personal taste

sinful fjord
#

i dont understand the structure of the game. when you die, you go back to the first level? the levels are randomly generated? like the movie The Cube?

agile saddle
#

i hate the rail but people love it

rich grotto
#

i actually just had a bit of a problem run with the rail

sinful fjord
#

do you beat the game when youve gotten through every level in one playthrough?

agile saddle
#

no if u beat the final boss u still go back to the start

#

its a roguelite

shell ice
#

it's a roguelite, which means it's designed to be replayed with somewhat randomly-generated paths/upgrades each time

sinful fjord
#

so the progression in this game is not about completing levels, but about building your arsenal and skills until you can clear it?

agile saddle
#

yes

rich grotto
#

sort of a spoiler, sort of not - the story progresses across playthroughs/deaths as well.

agile saddle
#

dying or beating the final boss sends you to the HUB or the house

sinful fjord
#

what weapons are best for what situations

brisk trail
#

Do I need specific hammer upgrade before I gain access to Flurry Jab for spear? I've been using Achilles spear these times, because I've read that upgrade is incompatible with ||Aspects of Hades & Guan Yu||.

agile saddle
#

you choose a wep before the run starts

sinful fjord
#

how do you know which weapon to select if all the dungeons are random?

agile saddle
#

and u cant change in the run

carmine ravine
#

just use the weapon as efficient as possible

agile saddle
#

all the weps can clear the game

shell ice
#

just play whatever you want to play

#

(or follow the bonus darkness)

rich grotto
#

i had a bit of trouble with the rail and the spread fire hammer upgrade - the cooldown on attacks is so short that i found myself attacking twice unless i made very deliberate taps on the attack button.

#

the resulting animation lock kinda threw me off the whole run.

sinful fjord
#

best place to spend in-game currency?

agile saddle
#

there are multiple currencies

rich grotto
#

pressing the attack key all the way down on my controller was long enough to fire twice. awkward. would not recommend.

agile saddle
#

once u start playing u will get it

#

u cant mess up or anything

rich grotto
#

note on currency - all of the currency items persist across runs except coins. spend those before you die.

carmine ravine
#

but what if u have hoarder slashresidentzag

random plover
#

I had a run where I had hoarder slash on arthur with like 1.2k obols

#

I lost to [Data expunged] because it was my first run with it and I sponged a lot of hits lol

burnt breach
#

Is there a mod or something that lets you get the seed of a run?
@opaque canopy Ellos starting boon selector
yeah but supported modding, its just lua scripting, no?
@burnt helm we can't import assets but that doesn't mean we can't add new things to the game
Modding is mostly problematic because Hades is still basically sprites (it's prerendered frames, not true 3d models).
@wind wedge assuming you have a tool capable of repacking the game's .pkg files, replacing animations would be a major hurdle because of this

i have an upgrade that gives sturdy + a dash when i use Special. but the dash's direction cant be controlled. it always sends me up north

thats negative value

@sinful fjord hammer upgrades cannnot be canceled

until it's anvil

I have one Achilles Steam Card to exchange against your Thanatos Steam Card, anyone interested ?

just sell it and buy one

They're pretty much equal in price, it makes no difference

I got a dupe Than if you want

Hi everyone, not sure if what I have is a bug or just bad RNG but I can't seem to get Eurydice's npc chamber to spawn since I've completed Orpheus' favor.... It's been about 13 runs since then. Any help/ reply is appreciated (or I might be asking in the wrong channel... if so can you tell me which to ask this?) (P.S. I'm playing it on the Switch)

static wadi
#

@granite plinth hestia?

#

if u have delta chamber and it's NOT hestia it's ok

astral pilot
#

Oy so

#

i've been watching a bunch of high-level content, speed runs and the like

#

and everybody uses the controller

#

and I just can't make the controller work, especially with ranged aiming attacks like shield special or anything to do with the bow

rich grotto
#

toggle the aim assist, see if that helps.

astral pilot
#

is there something basic i'm not getting? i tried messing with the auto-aim and auto-target settings in the control options, but i can't find anything that feels natural, it takes like 3 or 4 shots to actually hit something at full screen

#

or i can spend like 3 seconds carefully tilting the control stick until it 'locks on'

#

but it feels like, idk. Like the auto-lockon still requires you to be within maybe 2 or 3 degrees of the enemy, and especially when they're really close that's just impossible lol

#

i feel like there must be something i'm not doing right

static wadi
#

i'm not doing high heat only 16 so far

#

but kbm is comfortable for me

astral pilot
#

ah okay so some people do use kbm

static wadi
#

actually lot of

astral pilot
#

@grim anvil just bad rng I think, mate, altho there might be hidden conditions? that said, i think the hidden conditions would only stop the plot from progressing, it wouldn't stop you from getting the chamber

#

but surely it means something that the entire leaderboard is full of controller users

#

why do they think it's better? like, is there a break down of pros and cons anywhere?

#

i still feel like there's just that one piece of data i need to make this make sense lol

static wadi
#

well who knows

#

tbh idc much about it

#

i know it's ok for me

astral pilot
#

maybe it's about like, being able to dash at angles other than 45 degrees?

static wadi
#

so why should i care about someone else

random plover
#

People use controllers so they can lean on a chair in a more relaxed position I guess

astral pilot
#

....that doesn't sound like a speed runner characteristic rofl

#

i would assume they had specifically picked controller over kbm for some specific advantage

#

like for instance, jawless paul used to use kbm, then at some point he switched to controller, about the time he started getting more serious about the game

random plover
#

Didn't realize how loaded the question was

astral pilot
#

and like, surely that was caused by some kind of decision but it doesn't get explained anywhere

rich grotto
#

i prefer the more granular movement control, but it's a single player game. figure out what's comfortable for you.

astral pilot
#

:/ i feel like i am not doing a very good job of explaining the question i'm asking

#

i feel like there must be something that i am doing wrong, and if I fixed that something, then I would suddenly get much better at the game using a controller

#

and i want that situation to occur

grim anvil
#

Aah, I'm really hoping it's just bad rng @astral pilot and I don't think there's been any hidden conditions that I know of... Otherwise, I'd have to try a new save file. I'm just really concerned about it cause it's right after I talked to Orpheus about the favor and he disappeared. Was worried that I might have locked the npc chamber spawn away since there were other questlines happening around that time as well.

static wadi
#

@astral pilot what ||heat lvl|| did you stuck

astral pilot
#

im working my way up to 32

#

i'm not exactly having any trouble really, I just feel like I am really really bad with the bow and the rail in kbm, controller seems even more impossible, yet when I see speed runners aim with controller they seem to never miss, in fact it seems to 'lock on' to the enemy much more easily

#

i would love to figure out what is making my expectations differ from reality to such a large degree

#

surely they can't be that good at hitting exactly 62 degrees the very first time they flick their thumb? and even then, surely using a mouse would be easier? there must be some reason why they use controller instead and i want to know what it is lol

static wadi
#

well i cant say cus i never ever used controller

astral pilot
#

it feels almost impossible tbh

#

for bow and rail anyway

#

that's why im so confused lol

static wadi
#

i wonder how far i can go with a bow

astral pilot
#

see like right here? how his first special misses, even though he is aimed very close to the enemy and has auto-lock on?

#

that is the thing that happens to me constantly

#

i feel like i must be missing something, idk maybe im just bad

#

like 'sorry, your stick was tilted at 310 degrees and that enemy was at 312 degrees, so it misses"

static wadi
#

why dont you ask THEM

astral pilot
#

but that's impossible!

#

well i sorta hoped they'd be in here lol

#

still waiting on a reply on my youtube comment

tacit ocean
#

that special is like a cone volley fire that's not supposed to lock on right

#

no nvm that does

#

i don't know what to tell you other than i'm usually adjusting my aim mid dash??

#

but that's probably not mind blowing lol

carmine ravine
jade crescent
#

is there a max amount of gods you'll see in a run?

shadow fable
#

4 but you can get 5 under certain circumstances

jade crescent
#

such as god keepsakes only?

supple echo
#

I'm pretty sure that's not right I'm quite certain I've gotten at least 6 before

jade crescent
#

I normally see 4-5 without those keepsakes

supple echo
#

and you can almost guarantee 5

#

(since you can literally gauruntee 4 different gods show up via keepsakes and hermes almost always shows up at some point)

shadow fable
#

Don't count Hermes and Chaos

supple echo
#

I can see not counting chaos, but I'd always count hermes

shadow fable
#

Because they guaranteed

#

So max 4-5 gods

jade crescent
#

well in tartarus you could probably get 3 including your first keepsake, then hermes and 3 more from the other realms keepsakes

#

so should be 7 max

supple echo
#

do hermes or chaos count for +5% damage from that one mirror buff?

#

opposite of privileged status

jade crescent
#

family favorite, I would believe hermes does and chaos does not

supple echo
#

so you should (with lots of planning and some luck) be able to max that out at +30% I guess

jade crescent
#

30-35 yeah

#

although with the purple one you gotta build for 2 debuffs and often only get it for the most part against bosses

robust sundial
#

So here I was, next to a ||satyr sack|| in the fifth tunnel of gods know where when Poseidon offers me ||a legendary +20% chance of a fish school||. zaglol

opaque canopy
#

Privileged status gets triggered on: Marked, exposed, jolted, weak, doom, rupture, hangover and chill

#

It's not terribly hard to get it on normal mobs

grim anvil
#

Ah, quick question, does the ||Musician and Muse|| prophecy get completed before or after you visit the npc chamber ||(when you see them both in that same place)||?

brisk trail
#

Aw yeah, finally ||Night and Darkness prophecy|| fulfilled, only have 1 achievement to go

cloud apex
#

So here I was, next to a ||satyr sack|| in the fifth tunnel of gods know where when Poseidon offers me ||a legendary +20% chance of a fish school||. zaglol
heeeey that 20% chance in the final encounter is nothing to joke about

#

so good fishe potential

brisk trail
#

Yea, I'd take that legendary boon too if offered, because the chance for fish spot on final area is very scarce

robust sundial
#

got a trout without the legendary boon, so I think I'm good :)
but that's a fantastic idea.

brisk trail
#

Has anyone made a video or something that shows how the game evolved over time?

like character designs or something

like a retrospective

they dont have artbooks yet iirc

I got ||legendary +20% chance of a fish|| boon first on my last run and caught 11 fish lol

Do you have the codex upgrade?

And yep

even the demeter one?

@brisk trail you get a tiny bit of that in the noclip documentary series

brisk trail
#

Talking about some ot the game's songs would be considered spoiler? I mean, the name of the song, not the context where it's played

deep geyser
#

I dont think so

slender linden
#

also, idk how wide it's known, so v minor max bond flavor text spoilers ahead just in case: ||the companions' flavor text seems to be changing based on relationship status with the 3 main romance routes; there's a narrow window to take a peek at the collection between maxing out the hearts but before making the relationship official||

carmine ravine
#

thw songs are all on spotify

deep geyser
#

And youtube

brisk trail
#

It's just because i'd like to praise Darren like a god, and Ashley as well, for "In The Blood". Might be one of my favorite songs ever

deep geyser
#

I don't have enough gems to unlock songs lol

carmine ravine
#

i like at the coast more

deep geyser
#

Im too busy using resources to unlock stuff for runs and ||trying to seduce Than and Meg||

brisk trail
#

I haven't unlocked this one on music sheet yet. But i always listen to the game's OST on Spotify/music player

@brisk trail In The Blood, i mean

cloud apex
#

Funnily enough, In The Blood is actually mentioned in early dialogue with Orpheus

brisk trail
#

i like at the coast more
@carmine ravine On The Coast is beautiful as well. But the vocals at In The Blood are splendid

#

Funnily enough, In The Blood is actually mentioned in early dialogue with Orpheus
@cloud apex Didn't remember that. Neat

#

@slender linden ty!

slender linden
#

oh and they shared a bit of art process/particles and effects creation on twitter, so you can also check that out

obtuse zephyr
#

Aside from a scythe, what weapons would you want to see? I would love to have a hammer added. Maybe you find daedalus finally and he gives you one of his nicer hammers

robust sundial
#

before new weapons I'd prefer a stronger dark thirst... Can't get gems/darkness fast enough !

carmine ravine
#

gets chaos boons

#

or Poseidon's

deep geyser
#

Not a scythe cause thats a stupid weapon

#

It has 0 practical use as a weapon whatsoever

robust sundial
#

it'll still take a while to amass that 33K gemstones and 340K darkness (not to mention the 150 diamonds or so...)

deep geyser
#

Then again we have gauntlets but thats at least a brawler thing

obtuse zephyr
#

It's more style than practicality

deep geyser
#

But I'd love to see an axe or hammer or something

obtuse zephyr
#

Let's be honest

deep geyser
#

Or a staff

#

Cause staffs are undderrated plus it could be kinda a cast-build thing

obtuse zephyr
#

Oh yeah for sure an axe. Zag even says he has an affinity for axes when you buy the display ones for the hall

deep geyser
#

Aspect of Wu Kong I could see happening though lol

#

Heracles used a club so that could be an aspect for hammer

robust sundial
#

@obtuse zephyr maybe because ||asterius|| wields one and wrecks your ass with it.

obtuse zephyr
#

Cause staffs are undderrated plus it could be kinda a cast-build thing
@deep geyser hmm like what if you didn't collect your bloodstones again once cast but you could hit em around the room with the staff? Faster casting

deep geyser
#

I would think they return faster or you get bonus ones

obtuse zephyr
#

@obtuse zephyr maybe because ||asterius|| wields one and wrecks your ass with it.
@robust sundial wrecks who? Not me :P

deep geyser
#

Or like the Hera bow you could collect them all into one shot and do a massive blast depending on the god boon you have?

obtuse zephyr
#

Just a melee version of the bow would be lame though

deep geyser
#

Though imagine an Aspect of Minos axe and you meet Asterius and he's like

#

So thats where it went

carmine ravine
#

i actually want a kusarigama but its totally will be out of place a lot in the game

obtuse zephyr
#

Or he's like "wait a gods-damned minute that's mine!" And the fight starts off in phase 2

deep geyser
#

Ooh or a dual wield wepaon could be fun. Like dual swords

#

Similar to fists tho

carmine ravine
#

or a spear shield, oh wait

deep geyser
#

And @obtuse zephyr Yes but itd have special things, like Zeus could be calling down a huge bolt

#

But yeah Im playing with the HEra bow rn so its on my mind

carmine ravine
#

make ur bow a melee with piint blank shot hammer

deep geyser
#

Di Cast with Hera is fun

slender linden
#

yeah i liked the Bastion hammer, hammer could be cool. scythes don't have to be practical if they're very very cool. tho even Than doesn't seem to use his xD

carmine ravine
#

have u even seen demeters scythe

slender linden
#

the what

carmine ravine
#

try getting Demeter legend boon

obtuse zephyr
#

i actually want a kusarigama but its totally will be out of place a lot in the game
@carmine ravine I mean, hell, we have a gun in the game why not? Lol

deep geyser
#

The problem would be trying to figure out weapons that we dont basically have with other weapons and hammers

arctic umbra
#

triple bomb launcher for the gun is awesome

slender linden
#

i dont like Demeter boons but ill have to, at some point

plucky sail
#

Aspect of Arthur is basically a hammer, at least that's how I choose to see it

#

Give me a boomerang weapon

deep geyser
#

Like Axe/Hammer I could justify bc we dont really have a slow hard hitting weapon without otherr aspects

plucky sail
#

I don't care if it's not greek

#

Give me a big boomerang

slender linden
#

i just want to borrow Than's scythe, is that too much to ask xD

#

shield is basically a boomerang

deep geyser
#

And we could have the hidden aspect be something faster hitting, opposite of how the other weapons work

carmine ravine
#

using demeter legend boon, at 10%hp, chilled bosses will time stop, a scythe will appear and execute them@slender linden

arctic umbra
#

yeah i use shield like boomerang

deep geyser
#

I could see them more likley adding new aspects than new weapons

slender linden
#

oooo

deep geyser
#

I could see Aspect of Hephaestus for the gun lol

obtuse zephyr
#

What would it do?

deep geyser
#

Not sure.

carmine ravine
#

aspect of theseus shield kek

deep geyser
#

Maybe lava puddle where the bomb lands?

#

Idk I'd love to see something with Hephaestus just cause I love him as a god

obtuse zephyr
#

Maybe but dots are bad if you can't get people to stand still

carmine ravine
#

but hes ugly js

obtuse zephyr
#

In asphodel it would be useless

deep geyser
#

Yeah but he makes the weapons of the gods and goddesses

#

Idk I just like him ok

slender linden
#

tbf i doubt supergiant would even manage to make him ugly

plucky sail
#

I'd like to do what Theseus does and rock with a shield and spear honestly

obtuse zephyr
#

Probably be a little busted

plucky sail
#

Yeah, for sure

#

But the style

deep geyser
#

Agreed lol

obtuse zephyr
#

I'm all about style bro

deep geyser
#

Ooh a whip could be interesting

plucky sail
#

Alternative companion call for Achilles and Pat where you three just form a phalanx

obtuse zephyr
#

I'd like a short sword that causes bleed on hit. Built in dot, fast weapon with low base damage kinda like the jabs

deep geyser
#

And we could see an Aspect of the Furies kinda thing

slender linden
#

it'd be fun for Zag to take what he's learned with the lyre and like a true bard hit enemies with the raw power of music

obtuse zephyr
#

Bruh 100% down for that

carmine ravine
#

wdym, theseus literally only have bull rush and spear special

#

not even busted

obtuse zephyr
#

You get the bad notes when you hit an enemy with it

slender linden
#

omg

obtuse zephyr
#

wdym, theseus literally only have bull rush and spear special
@carmine ravine passive deflection on hit from the front

deep geyser
#

Chef, that could be realy cool actually

slender linden
#

could be an aura weapon

deep geyser
#

New secial buffs that give you bonuses instead of dealing damage

obtuse zephyr
#

Exactly what I'm thinking Risu, you can load your cast and do it as later aoe or turn single target ones into an aoe as an aspect

deep geyser
#

Or could do things like Poisiden basting them away and Athena creating a shield around you

#

But like Hermes maybe makes you move faster and projectiles slower?

obtuse zephyr
#

Aspect of orpheus, let you charm people if you hit then with the special

deep geyser
#

OH MY GOD

carmine ravine
#

athena already have barrier

deep geyser
#

HEAVY METAL

slender linden
#

Aphro does charm already

carmine ravine
#

projectiles slowing already one of the boons

deep geyser
#

ASPECT OF ARES AND ITS A GUITAR

obtuse zephyr
#

Idk about Ares, the hidden Aspects are different pantheons

deep geyser
#

Your dash is a knee slide now

obtuse zephyr
#

Maybe something from norse

#

Aspect of Odin

#

Nah that would be spear

sharp fossil
#

aspect of bouldy better come soon or i ragequit

slender linden
#

Rock Aspect

deep geyser
#

But yeah the Lyre could be fun lol

#

It would probably have an Apollo aspect

#

Cause he's the god of music

obtuse zephyr
#

SGG, get on that. We expect a beta in two weeks lol

slender linden
#

the music flavor of that alone would be great

#

omg yes! Apollo!

carmine ravine
#

i want them icarus wings

deep geyser
#

We don't have anything egyptian or Japanese yet aas far as I know

obtuse zephyr
#

Idle animation he begins playing a random song you have bought from the contractor

sharp fossil
#

what about aspect of hestia 2, electric boogaloo

#

this time it’s a flamethrower

slender linden
#

aaaa i want it now, what have i done

#

omg

obtuse zephyr
#

I feel like Lucifer should just be a flamethrower instead of a laser

#

That way you wouldn't have to aim at the special balls

sharp fossil
#

actually good point

carmine ravine
#

what if its bow, but throwing knives

sharp fossil
#

that’d prolly satisfy me

slender linden
#

you know the disco ball you can buy for the lounge 👀 could be a special idle interaction too

carmine ravine
#

lucifer special balls u can just detonate using dashes

obtuse zephyr
#

what if its bow, but throwing knives
@carmine ravine you were doing so well with ideas until just now

#

Lol

slender linden
#

ah the possibilities

#

what if its not bow, and just... throwing knives

deep geyser
#

Not a bow just Zagreus picking up random items off the ground and throwing them

sharp fossil
#

who would that be the aspect of tho

obtuse zephyr
#

Throwing vases for days

sharp fossil
#

lol

deep geyser
#

Ooh Aspect of David actually and make it a sling?

carmine ravine
#

kek

sharp fossil
#

zagreus throws random garbage: Aspect of Trash God

slender linden
#

omg yes, scavenger weapon

sharp fossil
#

alecto was right all along

deep geyser
#

@sharp fossil Aspect of Hades

slender linden
#

pffft

deep geyser
#

Just so Zag can bash his father more

carmine ravine
#

then if trash god, i propose ||pocket sand||

sharp fossil
#

we already have aspect of hades?

slender linden
#

if you fished earlier in the run, you can slap people with dead fish

sharp fossil
#

this just makes me want the fishing rod to be a weapon

slender linden
#

it should be

carmine ravine
#

wdym, fishing rod os a wepaon against fishes

sharp fossil
#

me, fighting ||hades||: “i’ve got a big one!”

#

||hades||: “...”

#

yeah no this has to be a thing now

carmine ravine
#

isnt that a spoiler
