i dont own a switch so i couldnt tell you but i dont think theres any different maps
What's the absolute maximum possible boons from a run?
Heroic
woo! finally beat ||hades|| with ||guan yu||!




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 ><
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
not new, just stuff on the main list that you can afford
yeah, its probably just because you can afford one of the ||UIs||
@zealous flare any place where I can see the result before actually spending the resources? lol
you could scroll through the #h1-victory-boasting channel
I just bought one of them, entered my room and exited, and it's back, lol...
Is there a keepsake that guarantees a hammer at the start of a run like the gods have for their boons?
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
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
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
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
oh, I see
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
What do the themes do? I can’t even tell a difference
does hunter dash dash strike also work on the fists dash special?
What do the themes do? I can’t even tell a difference
they change your boon/victory menu
what's the highest heat that you can get bounties for
you get bounty for every single heat
yep you keep getting blood/diamonds for each heat level
like 50?
wow
yeah
i mean, if you want to max out every weapon you're gonna want to get those rewards each time 🙂
i thought it stopped at like 20
no lol
nope
After a certain point I don’t think you can do much with the rewards
i mean, the blood is always useful (unless you just like the 1-2 weapons/aspects in which case you max them pretty quick)
After you max all I mean
Technically 21 because it starts at heat 0
ah true
oh, right
But the cap for bounties should be 20
my bad - i was wrong, sorry about that
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)
You really don't need more than 240 blood anyway
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
i am sorry about the missinformation
and there are other ways to get more, i.e. ||styx shop|| and ||Surface fishing||
Yep
that sucks
no wait hang on
you should get a boon
weapons are 5+15+16+15 per
which is 51
times six is 306 blood for all aspects
At that point it doesn't really matter what you get cause you should have basically everything maxed out
that's not counting themes or stuff
@raven lava so
so two blood per bounty level
i do have everything maxed out pretty much
42*6 yes
you need to get 54 blood from other sources
but prophecies. fishing. charon.broker
some of that is prophecy
yeah theres a slight gap, but generally the difference isnt hard to make up
Why does Maim need to buff enemies ;~;
cause it debuffs them
i'd imagine the vast majority of players will have maxed all weapons
before reaching the bounty cap
without really trying
@raven lava and tbh u dint need to max all weap
Golden Touch has ended up being awesome. Feel like I always have 1100+ gold going into Styx
it'll annoy me if i don't
i havent clear a single heat 20 yet and i am maxed in weapons
And that still allows me to buy some health, rare boons, fishies, or gates
Golden Touch needs a lot of yourself denying any shops early which can help you out though
^
as long as you dont shop, golden touch is amazing
especially if you start with coin purse and find sisyphus early
Whereas Deep Pockets gives you basically as much gold as Golden Touch would throughout the run, without having to be cheap
lol no
@tepid plover i prefer early boost for reliable end
to each their own
It's also sweet when you run into the Daedalus that turns money into damage
im not missing out on anything most of the time
Like, really buttering my biscuit
i think only sword has that hammer though
If Golden Touch was instead a % boost to money, or maybe a flat but assured amount per tier...then I could see it
which if you're running any other weapon for the dark thirst won't happen
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
Sadly not
make it actually matter
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
i think they wanted to make a "maxed" build cheaper/acquired earlier
No third mirror tier or additional talents either :P
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
cause even when the resource director is maxed, then darkness is completely useless, making killing bosses not rewarding
Eh, i don’t think I they wanted to lock any gameplay advantage behind hundreds of hours of grinding
yeah thats my point
It’s all pointless in the end
sure, but people like to share victory screens/speedrun times/high heat clears/whatever
that can still happen?
I think its less locking behind a gameplay advantage and more just "I want more goodies to unlock"
I mean it’s kind of like playing an rpg with a max level
and while yeah you can just copy over the savefile of someone who's maxed the game
It’s gotta stop somewhere (usually)
i dont think thats part of the intende dgameplay experience lmao
you can simply share speedrunning rules
i definitely wouldnt mind more goodies though!
like not buying it
i dont really like the idea of spending resources in-run to unlock a temporary advantage for that run, honestly
Eh, wouldnt have to be temporary ones
i think the only thing that does that is ||bouldy||? and its so minor
Just gimme a "boon slot" or something
then make it so bosses give a boon or something else, like for me right now, killing a boss is literally non rewarding
Or a hammer reroll ability
a boss should give some superior stuff
they do
not after 20 apparently
unless you have all the bounties done which at that point wow
that mirror sucks imo, i rather have a constant 3 per room
they give a significant amount of health restoration with the right mirror
you hardly need that since there's a fountain RIGHT THERE
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
Yeah the 3 per room is pretty much the objectively better one, even if its minor
3 per room adds up
if youre playing on high heat, a fountain will very rarely restore you to full
unless you have strong drink
darkness is too situation
same reason ||pom blossom|| is good in styx
Then the competitive speed runners can play “standard” but we could use excess resources to customize runs for fun
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
id gladly take a boon over darkness, especially at high heat, which is where it happens the most
That sounds awful
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
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
it doesnt
As a side note, the badges cost 300k darkness in total
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Why not give options for those who want it tho?
but the badge sucks, thats my point, they couldve done something else tbh
Besides God Mode which is its own thing
something cooler
because if those options exist, it'll be the "standard" to use them
not just something on the bottom right of my screen i ever see anyway
Have em not applicable to leaderboards or something then
like the devs have to balance to what a player can be expected to have
You're at 20 heat, you're already cool for getting there
devs arent balancing assuming youre not buying extra DDs from the mirror
because if those options exist, it'll be the "standard" to use them
you can always make rules
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
Well not cool because that's a lot of heat
my point is from a balance perspective
is a single player game bro
^
youre not hurting anyone
i mean, every single patch since early access has come with balance changes
so the devs clearly care
speaking of god mode - its a shame you can't "lock" it in at a specific %
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i'll never use it because i dont have that option
i guess i see killing bosses as enough of an intrinsic reward
to not need an external motivator
but i'd be tempted to try it if i could just lock it in
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
I see what he's saying though
like between the chance to use the fountain, change your keepsake, go shopping
¯_(ツ)_/¯
well satisfying and rewarding isnt the same thing
Past bounties its a big downgrade
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
it does
Or gold
not the stupid contractor item
Or even some max HP
that gives close to nothing lol
Having boons at the boss would effectively invalidate UC at high hear, so I don't think that's a good idea
I rather have the darkness
and you have o unlock it
it gives a significant amount for later bosses
and youll definitely unlock it by the time youre done your bounties lmao
If you are going for 100% then I think darkness is the biggest grind
i go for 100% I in fact have everything i want. the badge just seem underwhelming
it has no presence at all
i mean it feels like youre discussing two separate things
they both go together
one that darkness seems useless lategame, the other that killing bosses feels unrewarding to you
and yeah theyre connected but
It would be pretty cool to have different “skins” for zag I guess, even just recolors
killing bosses feels unrewarding cause it gives me darkness which is useless late game
is literally the same topic
The Kid skin, turns the Stygian Blade into the hammer
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?
they explained why no skin
Hitbox problems?
or would you be fine with either?
@lunar cypress animation difficulties
That's fair
every weapon, aspect, etc is individually animated
either give darkness meaning late game, or make bosses give something good
yeah the game is 2d
they cant really add skins
Yeah its true its not just a 3D model
kind of a shame but it makes sense
Forgot bout that
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
i like the badge as-is
it feels like its sort of meant to be "stupidly opulent" if that makes sense
A recolor wouldn’t require more animations but yeah
i dont like it at all, it feels the same, unlike the themes
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
Bosses drop 5 max hp
lmfao
Boss drops onion please
^
Lmao
now thats what im talking about
Is there an appropriate channel for suggestions or bug reports?
helpme with my codex
No

f10
Yeah I still need like 3 more onions
Let us fry the onion in asphodel
Is there an appropriate channel for suggestions or bug reports?
f10 in game
@viscid axle You can press
ingame !
Bloomin' onion
LET US FRY THE FISHES IN ASPHODEL
but #h1-tech-support is also a place to get help @viscid axle
the only thing i have left in codex is ||Chaos fish|| i think
id gladly burn all my knuckleheads
oh also a couple of the ||chthonic companions||
im only missing the onion and greece fish
i should probably get around to maxing that out
Ugh I literally only gotten a chaos fish once
everytime i win theres no fish
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
but #h1-tech-support is also a place to get help @viscid axle
@fading gazelle Thanks, i like how many channels there are
it's very convenient 
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
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
I didn’t think you could get a Pom if you didn’t have any boons that can be leveled
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
@raven meteor arent troves are just money or darkness?
Troves dont give poms?
You can get a nectar from a trove if you clear it fast enough I think?
infernal challenges i presume
Sorry, not trove. Forgot what the thing is called that needs heat to enter
You can get a nectar from a trove if you clear it fast enough I think?
That nectar can't level up
regular nectar]
What
But I’ve never seen a Pom (or even a nectar for that matter) offered when I didn’t have an eligible boon
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?
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
@raven meteor contratctor upgrades work only for room rewards
Itd be a lot cooler tho
I had assumed the gemstones count as room rewards, too...
Pump up golden touch
But idk, because I’m pretty sure the nectar you get from poseidon(?) boom gives you the contractor bonus
Pos cant give nectar
Dionys' boon gives nectar
@tepid plover can sometimes
Yes I can
Oh yeah dio

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
boon for random reward can give nectar sometimes
Is dio who gives nectar
I might be mistaken I jsut thought I saw it
Not pos
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?
Jiku, yes
^
What's the difference?
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
But if you purge it, you're not guaranteed to have the replacement be same level with a higher rarity
@raven meteor yes
Actually, you're guaranteed to have a level 1 boon
Replacing also keeps the levels though
pure profit
True
I wouldn’t purge if it’s been leveled
But the thing is, is harder to get the replacement you want
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?
Eh, if it's something like a doom boon for attack on your spear/sword, it might be worth purging for something else
@pseudo onyx yes
He said especifically he was looking for something else
Meaning he doesnt want it
So yeah purging might make it easier
You'd need an extremely high level bad boon to consider not selling it in the hopes of a better but random boon
SO, turns out the Stygian sword hammer upgrade "Double Nova" synergizes really well with Poseidon's upgrade to the same skill. retaining your knockback
Just like the double strike from shield also keeps the knockback
noted
They take away the weapon's innate knockback, but the knockback from the boon is seperate.
big shield fan
they should do a poll, or better yet just release the pick rate per weapon per run for the playerbase
I really don't like the shield tbh... Not enough dps
thatd be neat
I really don't like the shield tbh... Not enough dps
That just depends on your boons lol
Not really the weapon
Hey zag
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%
excluding data pre unlocking all weapons of course
My fastest clear time is on Aegis
I mean, the same boon would increase my DPS more on a different weapon than the shield
Not really
^
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
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
Quite a few boons increase damage By %
Also the different specials the shield gives can be super high dmg
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
Fists are OP
All weapons are op
Agreed
I disagree
Unfortunate
Unless your counting boons
A shame
Boons can help
Boons are a core part of gameplay...
Boons is what decide
Without Boons the spear is horrible
Without boons anything is horrible
Boonless runs are quite hard
Like not winning, but actually not getting any boons
VERY hard
I would never give up the chance of getting a Boon
Yeah same zag
My phone keeps autocorrecting Boon for Boob 😭
I reroll my obols and centaur hearts for boons
LOL
Nice 
All weapons are good and fun once you get used to em
The trinket that gives damage bonus to boonless things can make boonless spear great
Shattered Shackle
I'd never go boonless tho
Sisyphus is just amazing all around
@raven meteor and lucky hammer and chaos stuff
I love shady
My favorite items are the shield and fists
My fav is spear and bow
My favorite items are the shield and fists
Same, just not in that order
Since finding meme and niche builds are so much fun
I’m really bad with the spear and bow
I'm best with spear and not horrid with bow, and terrible with most other weapons
Trying to get better at them
That's a nice opinion
I use spear attack
Spear is like Thor’s hammer
It keeps enemies at a very comfortable range where i can do significant damage with minimal risk
Special is useful against lernie, but otherwise the only time i use it is when i'm too far away to melee
Anyone else feel bad for Sisyphus?
Whenever I see him I feel bad
Hypnos deserved more love
he just need to sleep a bit
To be fair, sisyphus had it coming
Hades> Not having Hades
@tepid plover Please keep it clean 
Change my mind
Lowkey tf Dio

Dusa is a floating head
Exactly


Kinda sus
Not much else you can do lmao
Dude. Come to think of it, zag, the prince of the underworld, really got friend zoned by a maid disembodied gorgon
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.
Understandable
I guess not everyone has that natural swagger like Hypnos
Dude just wants to sleep
That’s a vibe
You’ve had too much wine I think
Is there such thing as too much wine for dionysus?
He is a god and can do a lot of things while drunk
Like idk... cause the end of the world
curse of drowning seems... bad
what is that exactly?
things dont really get pushed back anymore and it doesnt apply ares's debuff
Ares/pos?
flood shot becomes pulse that damages foes around you
and pulses 3 times
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
well i guess it requires more pos boons
Shotgun is a good deel
only thing is better is rocket shotgun
Haha rocket shotgun go brr
the shotgun ... it seems like it fires way too fast when you dash and attack
redacted go aghhh
I mean, great, apply all the stacks of drunk but
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
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
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
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
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
i do not like the idea
that weay it doesnt outright break builds with health restraints
sometimes u will have healing if u dont want
and sometimes you cant heal when u want
im not sure when the latter occurs but the former can be avoided by not picking the boons
boon*
just a thought is all
I just dont understand it
what a nice build lol https://i.imgur.com/BBmd1OV.png
@remote wing spoilers
also ||after ur 10th escape iirc||
so delete ur msg pls
Thanks
yup
lol i just realised i had almost all revenge boon in this run
only Dem is missing
Just ask it.
Sure, what's up?
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?
Yeah. Try it.
it attacks twice so would doom be applied twice or just once?
Doom doesn't stack by default.
doom is only ever applied once unless you get that boon that means it does extra damage if you stack it
ahhh okay
There's a boon that makes the first instance get stronger if other instances attempt to be placed before detonation.
but it does apply in a aoe situation to every one?
Yeah, like any other attack, it works on what it hits.
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
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?
@steady cargo please spoiler tag ||4th aspects||, they're spoilers in this channel
So sorry, didn't know! Fixed my post
Ty ^_^
is Eternal Chamber worth it if using Zues attack boon on ||Lucifer ||aspect? or is the no ramp a loss of damage?
just got hades. its fun. tips for minmaxing? (im a min maxer lol)
kinda hard to min-mas RNG
so far the sword slam seems strong. can just hide behind corners and AOE them.
rng?
all stuff in the game is random
like what the abilities do
like the upgrades u get
and what order you get them?
you can still get pretty specific builds with keepsake shenanigans
u can curb it with an item
and rerolls
but in the end 90% is random
but certainly there will always be some randomness, it's a roguelite
why did they make it rng? to make each playthru different?
yeah, part of the genre
i feel like resetting boons/wells/selling well is better then rerolling a room
what are the best and worst weapons
all of the weapons are viable, "best" depends on what metric youre measuring "best" by
they all have strengths and weaknesses.
its a lot of personal taste
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?
i hate the rail but people love it
i actually just had a bit of a problem run with the rail
do you beat the game when youve gotten through every level in one playthrough?
it's a roguelite, which means it's designed to be replayed with somewhat randomly-generated paths/upgrades each time
so the progression in this game is not about completing levels, but about building your arsenal and skills until you can clear it?
yes
sort of a spoiler, sort of not - the story progresses across playthroughs/deaths as well.
dying or beating the final boss sends you to the HUB or the house
what weapons are best for what situations
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||.
you choose a wep before the run starts
how do you know which weapon to select if all the dungeons are random?
and u cant change in the run
just use the weapon as efficient as possible
all the weps can clear the game
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.
best place to spend in-game currency?
there are multiple currencies
pressing the attack key all the way down on my controller was long enough to fire twice. awkward. would not recommend.
note on currency - all of the currency items persist across runs except coins. spend those before you die.
but what if u have hoarder slash
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
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
there is no Dusa card on the market 😮
dusa card?
@burnt breach hello sir glad to see you are ok
thank you my good sir
success?
dusa card?
@burnt breach on steam
i mean what did you do all this year
well that's pretty personal lmao, or did you mean hades modding?
yup
well you can check out my mods on nexus, can't really advertise here
currently have 8 mods published and maintained, with another project in the works
link pls
posting links to my mods in this channel would be advertising 
I pinged you in #self-promotion
how do i undo upgrades
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
what
@sinful fjord hammer upgrades cannnot be canceled
until it's anvil
but sounds like something wrong with you
I have one Achilles Steam Card to exchange against your Thanatos Steam Card, anyone interested ?
just sell it and buy one
your answer feels like this : https://i.imgflip.com/1urgjs.jpg

They're pretty much equal in price, it makes no difference
I got a dupe Than if you want
I don't want money involved, I want ||to exchange nectar and keepsakes, ambrosia and companions cards||
that's what I meant, a 1:1 card exchange
well if it's a dupe I'd love to take it off your hands 🙂
my steam account has a small green lizard for an avatar if you want to add me to friends
let's do it on DMs
thx
Is my game bugged?
would this channel be the right place to offer my thanks for the creators of Hades?
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)
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
toggle the aim assist, see if that helps.
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
ah okay so some people do use kbm
actually lot of
@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
maybe it's about like, being able to dash at angles other than 45 degrees?
so why should i care about someone else
People use controllers so they can lean on a chair in a more relaxed position I guess
....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
Didn't realize how loaded the question was
and like, surely that was caused by some kind of decision but it doesn't get explained anywhere
i prefer the more granular movement control, but it's a single player game. figure out what's comfortable for you.
:/ 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
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.
@astral pilot what ||heat lvl|| did you stuck
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
well i cant say cus i never ever used controller
it feels almost impossible tbh
for bow and rail anyway
that's why im so confused lol
i wonder how far i can go with a bow
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"
why dont you ask THEM
but that's impossible!
well i sorta hoped they'd be in here lol
still waiting on a reply on my youtube comment
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
@astral pilot the devs ia here, try asking them in #test-branch-discussion
is there a max amount of gods you'll see in a run?
4 but you can get 5 under certain circumstances
such as god keepsakes only?
I'm pretty sure that's not right I'm quite certain I've gotten at least 6 before
I normally see 4-5 without those keepsakes
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)
Don't count Hermes and Chaos
I can see not counting chaos, but I'd always count hermes
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
do hermes or chaos count for +5% damage from that one mirror buff?
opposite of privileged status
family favorite, I would believe hermes does and chaos does not
so you should (with lots of planning and some luck) be able to max that out at +30% I guess
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
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||. 
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
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)||?
Aw yeah, finally ||Night and Darkness prophecy|| fulfilled, only have 1 achievement to go
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||.
heeeey that 20% chance in the final encounter is nothing to joke about
so good fishe potential
Yea, I'd take that legendary boon too if offered, because the chance for fish spot on final area is very scarce
got a trout without the legendary boon, so I think I'm good :)
but that's a fantastic idea.
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
Would be cool
I got ||legendary +20% chance of a fish|| boon first on my last run and caught 11 fish lol
I got one

.....chaos........... y 
(This was all in one chamber
)
Hey guys hades is fun but what do you do after you beat max heat and get all the achievements
Like what else can you work for
^Sounds like we've got a pro gamer here 😛
Kek ye just not sure what to work towards now
u got all the themes?
Beating max heat is like rolling a sisyphus stone
Really doesn't have a feasible end so far
even the demeter one?
Ye I’ve had the game since early beta and i May or may not have google how to get some of the themes
have u reached ||the unseen one||
How do I do the spoiler bar
does bonding with a character improve their keepsake?
||like this||
Ok and ye I have even got the ||song||
no i mean the rank
does bonding with a character improve their keepsake?
@shell crescent Nope
damnit
getting max bond only gives:
-a chibi badge
-a bond pun
-a relationship quote
Has anyone made a video or something that shows how the game evolved over time?
@brisk trail you get a tiny bit of that in the noclip documentary series
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
I dont think so
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||
thw songs are all on spotify
And youtube
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
I don't have enough gems to unlock songs lol
i like at the coast more
Im too busy using resources to unlock stuff for runs and ||trying to seduce Than and Meg||
I haven't unlocked this one on music sheet yet. But i always listen to the game's OST on Spotify/music player
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
Funnily enough, In The Blood is actually mentioned in early dialogue with Orpheus
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!
oh and they shared a bit of art process/particles and effects creation on twitter, so you can also check that out
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
before new weapons I'd prefer a stronger dark thirst... Can't get gems/darkness fast enough !
Not a scythe cause thats a stupid weapon
It has 0 practical use as a weapon whatsoever
it'll still take a while to amass that 33K gemstones and 340K darkness (not to mention the 150 diamonds or so...)
Then again we have gauntlets but thats at least a brawler thing
It's more style than practicality
But I'd love to see an axe or hammer or something
Let's be honest
Oh yeah for sure an axe. Zag even says he has an affinity for axes when you buy the display ones for the hall
Aspect of Wu Kong I could see happening though lol
Heracles used a club so that could be an aspect for hammer
@obtuse zephyr maybe because ||asterius|| wields one and wrecks your ass with it.
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
I would think they return faster or you get bonus ones
@obtuse zephyr maybe because ||asterius|| wields one and wrecks your ass with it.
@robust sundial wrecks who? Not me :P
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?
Just a melee version of the bow would be lame though
Though imagine an Aspect of Minos axe and you meet Asterius and he's like
So thats where it went
i actually want a kusarigama but its totally will be out of place a lot in the game
Or he's like "wait a gods-damned minute that's mine!" And the fight starts off in phase 2
or a spear shield, oh wait
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
make ur bow a melee with piint blank shot hammer
Di Cast with Hera is fun
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
have u even seen demeters scythe
the what
try getting Demeter legend boon
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
The problem would be trying to figure out weapons that we dont basically have with other weapons and hammers
triple bomb launcher for the gun is awesome
i dont like Demeter boons but ill have to, at some point
Aspect of Arthur is basically a hammer, at least that's how I choose to see it
Give me a boomerang weapon
Like Axe/Hammer I could justify bc we dont really have a slow hard hitting weapon without otherr aspects
i just want to borrow Than's scythe, is that too much to ask xD
shield is basically a boomerang
And we could have the hidden aspect be something faster hitting, opposite of how the other weapons work
using demeter legend boon, at 10%hp, chilled bosses will time stop, a scythe will appear and execute them@slender linden
yeah i use shield like boomerang
I could see them more likley adding new aspects than new weapons
oooo
I could see Aspect of Hephaestus for the gun lol
What would it do?
Not sure.
aspect of theseus shield kek
Maybe lava puddle where the bomb lands?
Idk I'd love to see something with Hephaestus just cause I love him as a god
Maybe but dots are bad if you can't get people to stand still
but hes ugly js
In asphodel it would be useless
tbf i doubt supergiant would even manage to make him ugly
I'd like to do what Theseus does and rock with a shield and spear honestly
Probably be a little busted
Agreed lol
I'm all about style bro
Ooh a whip could be interesting
Alternative companion call for Achilles and Pat where you three just form a phalanx
I'd like a short sword that causes bleed on hit. Built in dot, fast weapon with low base damage kinda like the jabs
And we could see an Aspect of the Furies kinda thing
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
Bruh 100% down for that
You get the bad notes when you hit an enemy with it
omg
wdym, theseus literally only have bull rush and spear special
@carmine ravine passive deflection on hit from the front
Chef, that could be realy cool actually
could be an aura weapon
New secial buffs that give you bonuses instead of dealing damage
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
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?
Aspect of orpheus, let you charm people if you hit then with the special
OH MY GOD
athena already have barrier
HEAVY METAL
Aphro does charm already
projectiles slowing already one of the boons
ASPECT OF ARES AND ITS A GUITAR
Idk about Ares, the hidden Aspects are different pantheons
Your dash is a knee slide now
aspect of bouldy better come soon or i ragequit
Rock Aspect
But yeah the Lyre could be fun lol
It would probably have an Apollo aspect
Cause he's the god of music
SGG, get on that. We expect a beta in two weeks lol
i want them icarus wings
We don't have anything egyptian or Japanese yet aas far as I know
Idle animation he begins playing a random song you have bought from the contractor
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
actually good point
what if its bow, but throwing knives
that’d prolly satisfy me
you know the disco ball you can buy for the lounge 👀 could be a special idle interaction too
lucifer special balls u can just detonate using dashes
what if its bow, but throwing knives
@carmine ravine you were doing so well with ideas until just now
Lol
Not a bow just Zagreus picking up random items off the ground and throwing them
who would that be the aspect of tho
Throwing vases for days
lol
Ooh Aspect of David actually and make it a sling?
kek
zagreus throws random garbage: Aspect of Trash God
omg yes, scavenger weapon
alecto was right all along
@sharp fossil Aspect of Hades
pffft
Just so Zag can bash his father more
then if trash god, i propose ||pocket sand||
we already have aspect of hades?
if you fished earlier in the run, you can slap people with dead fish
this just makes me want the fishing rod to be a weapon
it should be
wdym, fishing rod os a wepaon against fishes
me, fighting ||hades||: “i’ve got a big one!”
||hades||: “...”
yeah no this has to be a thing now
isnt that a spoiler
