I mean they're hard and annoying

#

But not the definition of a cheesy cop out

#

Tiny vermin is the worst

brazen stone
#

Ooooh Rolling Knuckle vs Breaching Cross Pandahmm

#

900% armour seems preeeetty good

alpine sun
#

Breaching cross

#

Everytime

#

Best fist hammer free

quaint hatch
#

I assume you're in elysium so it's kinda late for an armor hammer imo

#

At least if you got as good of an option

stuck condor
#

Think you're not understanding me. I wipe them but its just going through the previous levels to this is a downward move I mean realllyyyy. I only got tiny rat boss once also. Onceeee

quaint hatch
#

Dude....

#

That has to be a joke

stuck condor
#

That was a good intro to tiny rat boss as well

raven lava
#

i've gotten tiny rat boss more times than dire snakestone 😔

quaint hatch
#

I never said you're too bad for the enemies

#

I'm saying you're throwing a ridiculous statement like cheesy cop out in the room with your only reasoning being "like omg realyyyy"

stuck condor
#

So going through the previous levels which are actually hard then coming to this is a reason

#

anyways I have to go to work

quaint hatch
#

Previous levels
Actually hard
Ok

#

"Then coming to this"

#

Are you kidding me
It's called difficulty curve

brazen stone
#

Sunken Treasure I'm guessing gives like ~100 of each thing?

quaint hatch
#

How is that an argument

#

It's random amounts

brazen stone
#

Hmm it's either that or Poseidon special

quaint hatch
#

Im assuming it doesn't fit your build

brazen stone
#

Idk what does tbh, no real cohesion here 😄

quaint hatch
#

Then just take whatever igzaglol

brazen stone
#

This build is actually kinda crazy cool

#

Doesn't really gel entirely but I've got Ares cast with larger AOE and draw enemies in + the poseidon special which also causes splash when enemies hit walls, and then reflecting constantly with attacks... so crazy AoE while keeping projectiles at bay pogchamp

quaint hatch
#

Sounds fun!

#

Do you have the artemis duo for the cast?

#

You should try that one out

brazen stone
#

Ah didn't realise Artemis was the duo

#

I'm in the ||rat run bit|| so probably too late

#

I got a legendary for Ares to stack damage on top so this should be wild 😄

quaint hatch
#

Yes
But you can try a beyblade build sometime ;D

#

It actually tracks enemies

brazen stone
#

PogSpin WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! PogSLIDE PogSLIDE PogSLIDE

#

First full clear done

hearty fossil
#

Uhhh, is there any setting that removes healthbar and the ability to see boons during a run, or am I just bugged

#

can't see my gold either actually

tribal glade
#

that sounds bugged 😦

iron saffron
#

snrk

hearty fossil
#

bruh i'm on switch haha

tribal glade
hearty fossil
#

thanks

tribal glade
#

press the "-" button and see if anything comes up

hearty fossil
#

chamber number pops up in the top right, but nothing else. no boon list, no other HUD

tribal glade
#

wait, you're getting a chamber number? i dont think i have a way of seeing chamber numbers

#

where'd you download the game from?

#

nintendo eshop or somewhere else?

quiet gull
#

Chamber number pops up top right whenever you check out your boons, Skirovik

tribal glade
#

oh ok - neato

quiet gull
#

Lets you know how close you are to the boss

tribal glade
#

ive just tended to get a "feel" for it these days

#

is there a set number of chambers per section before you reach the boss?

fathom latch
#

Does anyone know what Supergiant Games plan is for this game post 1.0? Do they plan on releasing DLC or free updates?

hearty fossil
#

Yeah bought from the eshop, i'll see if I can finish the run like this buy boy is it scary

quiet gull
#

is there a set number of chambers per section before you reach the boss?
@tribal glade Boss rooms are 14, 24 and 36

tribal glade
#

thanks @quiet gull

quiet gull
#

Does anyone know what Supergiant Games plan is for this game post 1.0? Do they plan on releasing DLC or free updates?
@fathom latch None of their games have received either of those. They have stated that 1.0 is the entire game

tribal glade
#

DLC seems very unlikely, even though a large portion of the playerbase is keen for it

#

any DLC would be a massive amount of work at this point and im not sure itd be worth it (both creatively for the team and financially)

fathom latch
#

Oh alright, I've never played any of their other games

tribal glade
#

but it'd be nice, for sure 🙂

fathom latch
#

I didn't know if they had any plans. I really was hoping for DLC

tribal glade
#

based on what ive read/heard/seen from their other games, they're more likely to start working on another game rather than DLC for this - but with this being their most successful game (afaik) combined with the different model they used (early access vs standard full release) - who knows?

hushed hamlet
#

I just finished the game

fathom latch
#

This game is incredible, I'd happily pay $15 for a packed DLC

hushed hamlet
#

I want to say to the Devs, Kudos it was awesome

#

hope there is DLC or a sequel in the works

tribal glade
#

agreed, game is awesome

pearl sparrow
#

People, does the chance of getting better boons get higher with the heat?

hushed hamlet
#

no

#

I played a run with double trashcan it was the worst ever

#

it kept giving me common boons

quiet gull
#

It's really hard to make DLC for a game like this, cause you cant really just add a whole region without entirely throwing everything else out of whack, and even then that effort might be better served towards a new game entirely

tribal glade
#

once you've got the mirror unlocks for the higher % for better boons, thats it afaik

pearl sparrow
#

Oh well then, okay

hushed hamlet
#

It gotta be a sequel hopefully

quiet gull
#

People, does the chance of getting better boons get higher with the heat?
@pearl sparrow Heat only does what it says it does.

#

It also allows access to ||Erebus Gates at 5, 10 and 15 heat||

tribal glade
#

yeah, i think just adding another god or 2 and maybe another weapon would be pretty awesome and enough but another god means more dialogue that not only has to interact with other gods but dialogue from the other gods that interacts with the new god etc. and a lot of balancing for the boons and also balancing for any new weapon - it's just... a lot ><

hushed hamlet
#

I dunno what to do in the game now

iron saffron
#

its a fairly tight-knit system

hushed hamlet
#

aside from ||Increasing Zag's harem||

pearl sparrow
#

Because I was playing with the bow at 15-17 heat gauge and I was getting lots of rare and epic boons. Then I decided to go for the rifle, 3 heat gauge, and it's like the game is trolling me

#

Rifle is already horrible

#

In this run it's like having a pea shooter

dusk silo
#

pro tip: use the special

hushed hamlet
#

do not bad mouth rifle

tribal glade
#

yeah, the rail special is great

pearl sparrow
#

I am using the special

tribal glade
#

esp with a hammer upgrade or 2 🙂

pearl sparrow
#

I'm waiting for that atm

#

The hammer

#

🔨

hushed hamlet
#

I got my first clear with rifle ||hazard bomb or Triple Bomb||

pearl sparrow
#

To smash my Nintendo switch

hushed hamlet
#

Also I think I got my 3rd and highest clear with Rifle too

tribal glade
#

@pearl sparrow i dont normally ask this but how old are you?

hushed hamlet
#

I am having the worst luck with Sword

pearl sparrow
#

I will answer saying that I played Monkey Island when it came out

tribal glade
#

ok then

pearl sparrow
#

35

#

Why?

tribal glade
#

just the way you were talking just seemed a little... brash

pearl sparrow
#

Brash?

#

When was I brash?

tribal glade
#

"rifle is horrible", "waiting for the hammer to smash my nintendo switch"

pearl sparrow
#

It was just my thought, for my playstyle, the rifle is horrible

tribal glade
#

which is fair

pearl sparrow
#

And the hammer thing is because this run is really absurd

tribal glade
#

not everyones playstyle meshes with all the weapons

pearl sparrow
#

So it was a mere joke

#

Stupid maybe

@flint lodge A little late responding though thank you! Hypnos was always a welcome change of pace for me throughout development. I'm not sure if we'll share the "raw" files from recording though appreciate your interest. Like many of the characters, Hypnos definitely has some vocal processing to get him to sound the way he does, though I do pitch up a lot for him to the extent I can. Huge props to Darren for being a great director in the recording sessions.

hollow bane
#

So this is something I've always wondered

#

Does Hip-nos skateboard in his free time?

tepid plover
#

yes

flint lodge
#

That’s awesome. Thanks! It definitely sounded like something you were having fun with. Great job on the work too. Very transformative. It sounds consistent, and very different from how you sound in person. (We’ve spoken briefly a few times)

fathom latch
#

@vale drift Sorry to bother, what is the state of development for Hades looking like atm? Are you guys happy with where the game is at, and are you going to leave it at 1.0? Or are you looking to implement small DLCs/free content patches?

vale drift
fathom latch
#

Thank you!

brazen stone
#

While you're here @vale drift I just wanted to say bravo to you and the team for Hades. I bought the game right at launch back in 2018 and was obsessed, before putting it down and waiting for the finished thing. It was incredible to come back to it (as well as following the journey through NoClip) after these last couple years and finish my first run pepelove

vale drift
#

TL;DR We're actively supporting this launch (we just released a patch earlier this week), then we're due to take a little break, then planning what's next. We're of course very happy with and amazed by the response to the launch of the game, and really appreciate the support.

flint lodge
#

Do you think you’d be interested in doing more voicework in your next project? Is it tempting to write more for a character if you might voice them?

brazen stone
#

Well whatever the next step may be, I and no doubt many others will be there to cheer you on and support sanapray I've loved everything you guys have put out so far

vale drift
#

Thank you BraXzy! I think there's certifiable proof that the Early Access development process is the reason this game ended up as well received as it has been, so really appreciate you and others here sticking with us through that process.

fathom latch
#

@vale drift Well I just want to say, I've played a whole lot of Roguelikes, but this is by far the most polished, and well thought out one. Risk of Rain 2 used to be my favorite, but this game has HEAVILY overshadowed it. Great work.

tribal glade
#

this is by far my favourite game of 2020

brazen stone
#

I couldn't get into roguelikes, and then this game dropped from the sky in 2018 and I played it for like 30 hours within a few weeks kek

random plume
#

Hi everyone

#

I am having trouble avoiding Hade's spin

#

any tips?

vale drift
#

Syndic, I got to do some voice work on Pyre as well, and really enjoyed it then. So if ever we do need someone to pitch in on it in the future I'm always interested, even if it's random enemy grunts and such (Darren and I provide the voices for all the standard foes). In fact I love that kind of small stuff.

fathom latch
#

@random plume Dash the opposite direction he is heading, almost like you're dashing through him

brazen stone
#

I'll be honest! I don't quite know if this game dethroned Transistor for me - that game holds a special place in my heart - but it's damn close.

fathom latch
#

so if he is spinning straight at out while being on top of you, double dash the opposite direction

random plume
#

I can beat him easily with the shield and sword

hollow bane
#

Wait a minute I also just realized something. If Supurrrrgiant Games made Hades why isnt there a cat in the game?

But with the spear it's a no go

Serious questions

#

Why are flamewheels cats

hollow bane
#

they are?

tepid plover
#

They meow

tribal glade

why not?

I thought they were just spooky ghost chariots

tepid plover
#

If you listen closely they meow

tribal glade
#

the tiny ones meow

tepid plover
#

Yeah those are the flamewheels

#

The others are Nemean chariots I believe

tribal glade

I doubt he pushed that boulder once

I think Sis mentioned something about the fate sisters doing something about with him

brisk trail

Cuz Hades >

tepid plover
#

Bouldy is a whole workout lmao

#

They dont really go into details about what he dif

brisk trail
#

Sis be like: Jokes on you I’m into that ####

tepid plover
#

That Boulder, is really his massive balls after what he did

brisk trail
random plume
#

yeah not much details like that guy up in elysium

brisk trail
#

My head cannon is that he’s lost his mind and he’s now in a relationship with the Boulder

#

The Boulder is his lover

tepid plover
#

Yeha they are juts scratched

#

Just FYI, ||thanatos is scared of sisyphus||

brisk trail
#

Strange

tepid plover
#

Lmfao sisyphus is literally a chad

brisk trail
#

Guess I’ll find out why for myself

#

Sisyphus really the only dude who can pull off having Sis in their name.

random plume
#

Could be worse, could be Cicero

brisk trail
#

I mean the guy did push a boulder for literal ages

#

You gotta get some strength from that

tepid plover

Lmfao

#

Hes still pushing it right now for all we now bouldy

#

So the Night mother is Nyx?

tepid plover
#

She is the night yes

random plume
#

I am trying to link her up to the Night mother in Skyrim from the Brotherhood of Darkness

tepid plover
#

Dunno, haven't play that sorry

Oh well

The link up makes it more perfect the more I think about it

tepid plover
random plume
#

So when the shades line up in the house of the dead what is Hades denying and granting these shades for? to stay in the house?

tepid plover
#

Erebus im guessing

mossy lily
#

when hades is 8 times more popular than pyre

#

😂

tepid plover
#

Since no one is really new for the house

#

Man I loved pyre, the story at least, but is the rites what kills jt for me

hushed hamlet
#

Voltage-Digital its because the Shades are always thirsty for Nyx

tepid plover
#

Big tiddy goth stepmom

hushed hamlet
#

just look at every shade passing by nyx they always got a smiley emoji

brisk trail
#

Speaking of thirst I got a question

random plume

She is busty

#

Can you only unlock the romance scene for a character once?

tepid plover

No

Yes with Skully jk

I was gonna say poor Zag

||you will continually smash after||

He deserves it

Does he

brisk trail

Yes

if I'm playing this through Epic, how do I see my damn achievements

Hypnos also deserves it smh

Shame he can’t

random plume

I admire Hypno

Thats what I want

tepid plover

I didnt even know epic had achievements

Yeah, I assumed those just didn't exist outside of Steam.

It pops up at me with them, I just got one for becoming BFFs with Charon, but I can't actually see the damn cheevo outside the pop up

Huh.

thorn tendon

like I've been getting tons of pop-ups like "you did a thing" and then I try to open the panel and it's like HAHA BUT YOU CANNOT SEE WHAT YOU HAVE EARNED

Interesting, so now we know they exist at least

thorn tendon

they do!

random plume
#

Dionysus, do you only drink wine?

tepid plover
#

I drink anything

random plume
#

Do you love Orange soda?

tepid plover
#

With alcohol yes

random plume
#

That would be tasty

tepid plover
#

Take my word for it

random plume
#

and you're immune to being hang overs or you can never get drunk?

tepid plover
#

I'm always drunk

random plume
#

If your normal is being drunk then does it feel being drunk or you need to be more drunk to actually feel drunk?

tepid plover
#

I dont have the slightest idea

random plume
#

Could you fill the ocean with wine and make Poseidon drunk?

brisk trail
#

That would be a terrible idea, you should do it

tepid plover
#

Lmfao can fish survive in wine

#

Reminds me of the lobster meme

random plume

I know Spongebob has survived

and don't get me started on starfish

Filling the ocean with wine would kill all of the ecosystems basically

Is it normal to feel tired after 1 run? I played like 5-6 runs across the spread of 5-6 hours yesterday taking breaks and such lol

#

I think most I could do is 2-3 runs for now

#

Before taking breaks

#

While I see some people spamming this game for hours

tepid plover
#

everyone is different

#

i can play for hours, run after run, but someone people get burnt out

Very normal

i'm pretty sure taking breaks is like, the recommended healthy thing to do

does anyone else find artemis' boon anger thing really really funny

everyone else is like "OHHHH OHHH Im GONNA BEAT YOU UP I HATE YOU" and hers is like "wow,,, youd do this to me,,,, really cool and normal world,,, its almost like i wanted to give you this boon or something,,, cant believe this,,,"

like shes just so SALTY compared to everyone else's like, boastiness about it

idk dio really kind of just. feels like that party in public, abusive in private sort of edge. i dont really feel sad when i anger him. artemis actually seems genuinely hurt however, its just that she doesn't realize how much she's been affected and is filtering the trauma of her family back out

wooden quartz
#

i cant deny that i still feel that transistor is my fav story of a supergiant game

(so subtle and minimal but packing so much complexity and nuance under the surface, i can play that game for years and still finding something new about the implications of its narrative to analyze)

but honestly a lot of the writing in hades is some of the best writing supergiant has ever done

blazing narwhal
#

dashing away and aiming back is so weird with a controller

#

I literally have to flick the stick twice every second

wooden quartz
#

transistor feels like it has the most to say, but hades feels like it has the most to show off, if that makes sense

north pier
#

Doing story in hades is always gonna be a secondary, bastion and transistor just have a better arc due to their forced pacing

#

Like everyone is gonna see the same plot at the same times

blazing narwhal
#

And also Transistor needs a netflix adaptation now

wooden quartz
#

idk i think the roguelike structure of hades gives it something that the other games couldnt do

north pier
#

oh for sure, it's just never gonna have the same arc structure that most of humankind has been using for millenia

blazing narwhal
#

yeah

#

it's more of a, err,

north pier
#

like a box of chocolates

blazing narwhal
#

spiral staircase, should I say

agile saddle
#

Most Roguelikes have little to no story

north pier
#

an advent calendar

wooden quartz
#

i dont want an adaptation of transistors narrative, it would strip the story of a lot of its importance imo

but i would want to see a collection/anthology that adapt the stories of the traces

#

i think that would be a really REALLY neat way to expand on that narrative

tight spire
#

dash strike is so annoying to use
@north pier remap dash to a shoulder button and it gets way easier. Default controls are ass.

north pier
#

oh yeah, hades is an advent calendar

blazing narwhal
#

Advent Calender of Greek Mythology™️

north pier
#

@tight spire yeah i thought about doing that but i was already so used to M+K

tight spire
#

Controller gives you better directional control IMO

blazing narwhal
#

remap dash to a shoulder button and it gets way easier. Default controls are ass.
did this too, dash is now rb

#

Controller gives you better directional control IMO
Yeah this was definitely why I'm trying to convert from kbm to controllers

tight spire
#

Unfortunately my main controller is on the fritz so my last few runs have been kbm

blazing narwhal
#

cause I always take a big old lava bath

tight spire
#

But I've been doing no heat runs to level trinkets for the achievement so it's fine

zealous flare
#

there are some weapons that are pretty tricky on controller

#

like 4th aspect gun

north pier
#

yeah i remember someone here used hybrid Controller+Mouse which seems like an absolute dream

tight spire
#

4th aspect gun just feels awkward imo

blazing narwhal
#

yeah I need that airplane joystick for left hand

wooden quartz
#

yeah i remember someone here used hybrid Controller+Mouse which seems like an absolute dream
@north pier ive done that but i lost my psmove nav controller :(

blazing narwhal
#

I'll leave the aim to my mouse, thank you

that is legit my fav control method tho

#

it feels pretty bad on a controller because the autoaim wont target the special

#

mouse + psmove nav

I've done a couple runs with it and it just seems like the bombard only explodes when I don't want it to

what do i pick from proud bearing; briliant riposte and sure foting before hades fight (only source of deflect is holy shield)?

it really is a slept on device

north pier
#

WHY DOESN'T SONY PUSH THIS LIKE CRAZY?

#

WHAT THE HECK

#

THAT'S A MAZIN

zealous flare
#

its the vr controller

wooden quartz
#

it dosent have a tracking ball so you can't use it with psvr, which is why they dont make it anymore

#

they only have the regular wand for vr

north pier
#

dude even in csgo that would be excellent

#

the entire reason people play M+K anymore is because the mouse is so accurate

blazing narwhal
#

It'll basically allow you to move so much more freely

north pier
#

sure mmos and rts might prefer the keyboard but most games would just flat improve with a decent left controller

stuck sundial
#

what do i pick from proud bearing; briliant riposte and sure foting before hades fight (only source of deflect is holy shield)?
literally the last option for my build this run is this

what am i suposed to pick

anything that requires you to move and strafe

do green hades vases count as traps or just as an attack?

north pier
#

excuse I

#

what's a green vase shadeembarassed

stuck sundial
#

those things he does ||in the suprise second stage of the fight||

agile saddle
#

@tight spire u can only have a max of 3 out at a time

north pier
#

oh i think they're just a trap* squirtdevious

agile saddle
#

The 4th explodes the first

blazing narwhal
#

they're traps

#

athena's trap damage resistance boon work with the green vase thingy

stuck sundial
#

yay

agile saddle
#

I always play with the trap damage increase pact for free heat. Those are traps for sure but easy to destroy

north pier
#

Yeah trap damage is always one of those "you'll dodge if you're good" things so i never consider trap damage mods as a real thing so i'll eventually just get good

stuck sundial
#

what does the shokwave debuff do?

tight spire
#

@tight spire u can only have a max of 3 out at a time
@agile saddle oh that explains, somewhat at least

agile saddle
#

Enemies can also explode the orbs

#

And Zues special will explode an orb if it hits an enemy cause of the shock it sends out

#

hey once ive unlocked all weapons and mirror expansions, is there any reason to keep my keys or can i just push them through the merchant?

agile saddle
#

The construction guy sells an item for 200 keys

wooden quartz
#

ahh

agile saddle
#

Or 100 not at my comp atm

north pier
#

wait, spoil me, what's the item- i know i unlocked it i just don't remember what it is

sharp fossil
#

it’s ||one of the themes||

#

i don’t remember which one

#

I am aiming for the gem theme. Creeping ever closer

misty ruin
#

In the fourth area, ||is it possible for the satyr sack to be in the first, fourth or fifth tunnel you enter? it’s always been in the second or third tunnel for me and I have 29 wins||

tepid plover
#

not the first

#

after that is rng

#

yes it can be 4 or 5

#

just not 1

flat vapor
#

if ||the sack has a straight chance of appearing in a tunnel, then 4 and 5 will have the lowest chances of appearing||

tepid plover
#

is 25% after you clear one

#

the chances are 0% in the first tunnel, so after that it becomes 25%

#

making the 3rd a 50% so highly likely to be there

indigo nest
#

seems more often than not to be in a normal tunnel

tepid plover
#

thats rng

indigo nest
#

than a miniboss one

misty ruin
#

95 hours played and I’ve still somehow never seen it show up in tunnel 4 or 5. I’ve come to rely on it and it hasn’t done me wrong yet

tepid plover
#

consider yourself lucky

#

ive had it a lot in the last chamber lately

indigo nest
#

I had it once

#

but I do all the tunnels anyways

misty ruin
#

I usually do as well

tepid plover
#

i like to fight ||em4 hades|| healthy so i leave when i find the fountain

indigo nest
#

ok ok ok but what if you could unlock eventually having one hammer of your choice at the beginning of every run

#

for like a lot of currency

tepid plover
#

probably mods can do that

#

dont think is planned

#

could break the game

indigo nest
#

I play on switch sadly

tepid plover
#

welp

#

true true

#

just wish I could get flurry jab more often

sad but fair

WTFFF THERES A RUN WHERE ||HE JUST LETS YOU GO PAST??? That was so hilarious, I was just preparing myself to fight him again and then he's just like "yeah you can go this time"||

(There’s more than just that to that run)

||Man I remember getting a build with 100% dodge chance, that was the one run where Dad just let me go without a fight. I was so pissed lmao||

#

Just here to remind everyone that the ||hades boss theme is fire every single time you hear it||

thick swallow
#

||oh for sure, but that’s just all the music||

||definitely, and when that initial hades boss-riff drops it's just go time EVERY time||

||Man I remember getting a build with 100% dodge chance, that was the one run where Dad just let me go without a fight. I was so pissed lmao||
@dreamy briar how do you possibly get 100% dodge chance

#

it doesnt stack additively

dreamy briar
#

Oh really? Didn't know that, thought I was gonna basically be invincible the whole fight lul

tepid plover
#

yeah they just dont add up

#

it has a weird mechanic

carmine ravine
#

i mean u can go invisible

#

You can get pretty close, but I don't think we can ever get to 100%

north pier
#

Dusa just ||offered me back the ambrosia and frankly this arc is perfect and actually the most pragmatic social interaction i've seen in media in a while, kudos to whoever wrote this||

#

Like actually a fantastically healthy thing all around- it's been wild, in games you ||expect the character to just acquire everything through forced transactions and the fact that something unexpected happens and both characters are wildly mature about it is an incredible breath of fresh air|| like wow

OK so\

#

what are the required relationships to unlock the sise sory aka epilogue

north pier
#

||I don't know squirtnya ||

bright lance
#

I can't believe ||I got the ending already and that it was in ~35 runs
I was kind of expecting it would take almost 60 runs of talking to persephone, but I heard there's a true ending and I already know theres SO MUCH MORE stuff to do (I haven't even gotten a single companion yet) so I'm excited||

tepid plover
#

theres a steam guide for the epilogue

north pier
#

yeah there are several guides floating around

barren ocean
tepid plover
north pier
#

Ok so i've never lost a DD to a boule farfalla

#

eva eva, i don't understand why people have issues with butterfly balls

#

you can just hit the butteflies it's fine

gusty slate
#

The miniboss variant can be annoying

tepid plover
#

^

vestal reef
#

the miniboss is more about managing the soul things

north pier
#

i guess but like i dunno once you know to watch for butterflies they become pretty arbitrary as an enemy

gusty slate
#

If you say so

thick swallow
#

The butterfly balls are fine but still annoying

north pier
#

the miniboss stops spawning souls if you kill the ball

tepid plover
#

isnt just the buttlerflies, is the fact that there are souls constantly spawning until you kill

north pier
#

so just focus the ball and you're fine

tepid plover
#

yeah the ball has a crap ton of hp lmao

thick swallow
#

But by that point like 5 souls have respawned

tepid plover
#

^

thick swallow
#

And if you’re spending focus on other things the butterflies can sneak up on you

gusty slate
#

Depends how my build is looking

gaunt ridge
#

just spam special zaglol

north pier
#

yeah but just kill like a soul before it spawns then smash then kill another soul before it spawns then smash then clean up after

gusty slate
#

MM butterfly ball is even more annoy

north pier
#

mm?

#

majora's mask

thick swallow
#

They’re more just annoying than anything at this point to me, but they’re still annoying

north pier
#

they zone a bit sure

vestal reef
#

still rather fight it then Asterius

midnight bay
#

middle management, the heat stipulation

north pier
#

oh, yeah the MM can get real obnoxious

vestal reef
#

MM is the worst in the last area

#

too much going on

north pier
#

MM is actually really hard, i'd take tons of other modifiers before mm

#

i did it for a while to get the prophecy then bounced

#

so many enemies have armor these days

#

it's just too much

cloud apex
#

Weird, personally MM does little to no difference to my gameplay on contrary

gusty slate
#

Apparently I'd rather play FO2 on at all times than MM

north pier
#

i noticed i took wayyyyyy more damage on mm

gusty slate
#

MM got me good in Asphodel

#

Otherwise it's fine

#

Losing a DD to power couple hurts

north pier
#

it just gives too many enemies potentially ridiculous buffs

#

it can be smooth sailing, then BAM you're just smacked by one encounter

#

when they roll a solid buff

vestal reef
#

you're just hoping you don't run into that one room with speedy double damage enemies

cloud apex
#

Are you sure it's MM and not BP that causes issues?

#

MM is a static buff to minibosses, there isn't any sort of roll

north pier
#

oh i'm so dumb

#

you're right @cloud apex

vestal reef
#

woops

#

1 am brain no work

cloud apex
#

Dw, glad we figured that out

north pier
gusty slate
#

shrug game is hard

north pier
#

TRUE

#

middle management looks way more manageable

cloud apex
#

Game is hard, and trying to make it harder can only go as well

alright, very huge question: is bouldy a bald joke in disguise

#

because bouldy is very bald

yeah i think you need to see him in the run, not sure if defeating is a prereq though

... that may be the best piece of video game criticism like, ever

#

So, I'm confused. I'm missing the little chibi icons (bonds i believe?) to 3 keepsakes. Dusa, Aphrodite and Persephone. And I just don't get what I'm missing. AFAIK Dusa's and Mom's are independant, but that of Aphrodite requires to have the one for Dusa. I have 10 Ambrosia in my inventory, I've tried talking to Dusa in my past 10-20+ runs with nothing new popping up, and I have all of her hearts in the codex.

#

and i upgraded my lobby completely

#

*lounge

cloud apex
#

RNG dialogue really is rough at times

sharp fossil
#

||for persephone, you just need to complete the epilogue and then keep talking/gifting to her||

#

for dusa, idk it might just be rng

cloud apex
#

I know for sure that even if you exhausted Dusa lines before gifting her to full hearts it takes some time for line to appear

astral flume
#

^ ||i did complete it, but persephone is in the house so rarely that i'm more patient||

blissful mica
#

Hey all! So I had a really cool idea for something pertaining to this game and was wondering if I could share it with you all here.. it does involve potential spoilers, though.. i am actually seeing the spoiler effect on @sharp fossil's messages right there.. may I ask how you did that?

sharp fossil
#

yeah it can take a while, but there’s nothing special you have to do iirc

#

@blissful mica two of these | on either side of a comment spoiler tags it

blissful mica
#

The thing I imagined is pretty cool and some of you might like it too so I'd like to share

astral flume
#

use "||" before and after the message, or highlight the part you want to tag as a spoiler after writing it in your text box and the option appears

blissful mica
#

Ah okay! Thanks

astral flume
#

use a test message before using the actual spoiler if you need to

blissful mica
#

|here is a spoiler|

@static flower what ||Lyre ?||

static flower
#

||the instrument that you play in Zag's room||

robust sundial
#

I don't have such a thing

it's from the contractor

#

@jolly river I'm assuming you met the reqs?

quasi olive
#

Hey everyone! Quick question: does the Lambent Plume's allotted time for each encounter scale when you add heat levels, or is it the same no matter what?

blazing imp
#

Hello all 🙂

high island
#

@quasi olive it doesn't scale, no.

quasi olive
#

hmmm ok, thanks for the answer. Then is it still viable once you reach heat levels of 10-15+?

#

I managed to get a +22% dodge bonus with it while in heat 6, but I guess that when you add more life to enemies, as well as, just more enemies, it quickly becomes really difficult to clear rooms fast enough, if it is even possible at all...?

novel spindle
#

It's always possible, you just have to be pro and make a good build

quasi olive
#

Fair enough, thanks! : )

violet stone
#

So I've played 60+ attempts by now, close to getting my first clear. I think I've used cast 3 tries or so, I don't really understand how it works, used it only as blade rift, and even then it wasn't really useful. Is this normal, or am I missing out?

quasi olive
#

cast is super useful, especially as it can allow you to deal more damage to enemies with 'stones' in them

#

also once empowered with boons it can help immensely in clearing rooms, blade rift is one example

#

but I also like Zeus' lightning bolt, which strikes multiple enemies, Artemis' seeking arrow is great as well...

blazing imp
#

I love all artemis boons

quaint hatch
#

Huh doesn't plume need lee's encounters with each heat level?

blazing imp
#

And not just because I simp for her

quasi olive
#

Just see it as an additional way to deal damage, especially in between dashes

violet stone
#

Usually I was just skipping cast boons, but tried rift a few times and found it hard to aim properly, so I stopped using it all together. Thanks for boon recommendations, I think I'm going to give it another shot

quasi olive
#

I just love Artemis, she so cool!

quaint hatch
#

You can also make cast builds
With certain aspects

#

Then u barely use anything but casts lol

#

Rift isn't worth it with a build around it

blazing imp
#

Demeter’s cast beam helped me complete my first run

quaint hatch
#

You could try artemis, athena, poseidon as a fire and forget cast f.e.

#

They do a bit more damage and have some additional beneficial effects also

violet stone
#

Thanks!

quaint hatch
#

I wouldn't use demeter as a non build cast tho imo

#

But it's difficult to get a good build round that for me

violet stone
#

I think I need to start using it at least somehow before trying to build completely around it

quaint hatch
#

It's good to get used to remembering the button is there yeah ^^

#

Also yk there's a mirror upgrade that let's you do an additional 50% damage to an enemy if a cast is stuck in them

quasi olive
#

yeah, that was one problem I had at the beginning, I was barely ever using it, now I use it as soon as I can ! ^^

quaint hatch
#

It's more of less free damage xD
I can recommend switching to stygian soul of you're not using a cast build so you don't have to put yourself in danger by running to an enemy to pick up the stones

remote forge
#

Nah, leave it so you have to run to them

#

It builds character

quaint hatch
#

Nice one

blissful mica
#

Omg.....

#

||Got to stix for the very first time (attempt 24), died at second tunnel............||

#

||those rats are brutal with the poison and their insane amount of health. Crazy.||

#

Brutal.

quaint hatch
#

They're a truckload to handle at first yeah

blissful mica
#

Had an insane boon setup too

#

Stygius with aphrodite's heroic special with weakness, double special attack, and the jumping special effect as well as hermes' special speed increase (with maxed attack speed on stygius)

#

I feel like I should have had it. I dunno

#

Had an easier time with ||the heroes at the end of Elysium|| than with ||those godforsaken poisonous rats.. I was in the part of the tunnel where all the environmental axes come down and was stuck with 4 giant rats all extremely close to one another||

#

A waaayyyyyy easier time, in fact.

raven meteor
#

If the giant rats don't have armour, they can be stunlocked rather easily

#

If they do, never be in it's range

#

Hey guys! I was wondering if you can unequip keepsakes.

iron loom
#

at the end of every area, @pine arch

#

you have the opportunity to swap

quaint hatch
#

You have to buy that from the house contractor tho

pine arch
#

So once you equip a keepsake, the only way to remove it is swapping it with another keepsake, right?

quaint hatch
#

Yes

pine arch
#

Thank you guys!

Best of luck on your runs

#

i have to admit i cant find myself ejoying a specific weapon yet

#

although maybe this has to do with weapons not being upgraded yet?

#

im not sure how much it changes the weapon though

#

if bow fired to max range without need to charge but for less damage maybe then it would feel better to me but charging on every attack is quite frustrating

raven meteor
#

Some have very significant changes, others just buff certain parts

iron loom
#

one of the bow's especially so

balmy ginkgo
#

you could say shield is the one i like the most?.. but i play it almost like a ranged weapon

raven meteor
#

What about spear special?

vapid narwhal
#

if bow fired to max range without need to charge but for less damage maybe then it would feel better to me but charging on every attack is quite frustrating
@balmy ginkgo One of the hammer upgrade let you rapid fire the bow without having to charge, it's pretty great

balmy ginkgo
#

spear is alright but the moves feel.. weak? except for the spin

#

but thats a very long charge

vapid narwhal
#

yeah vanilla spear without aspect is kinda boring

balmy ginkgo
#

yeah but you cant count on daedalus upgrades

vapid narwhal
#

same for the vanilla bow

balmy ginkgo
#

okay so just keep playing?

vapid narwhal
#

both are just very boring aspects

balmy ginkgo
#

till i get those aspects?

vapid narwhal
#

keep playing

#

the aspects show up quite early

balmy ginkgo
#

what are those aspects doing to the weapon?

vapid narwhal
#

changes how they behave drastically

raven meteor
#

The spear dash strike is fast dps, and the daedalus hammer that gives special an explosion singlehandedly makes spamming it an effective strat

quaint hatch
#

Every weapon but spear is fun to me

iron loom
#

the shield has some vastly different aspect

#

each totally change the way it's played

raven meteor
#

Bow aspects drasticly change it

balmy ginkgo
#

the fists are my least favorite

quaint hatch
#

Those are also the most fun apsects imo

balmy ginkgo
#

they seem really bad

quaint hatch
#

Nothing is bad in hades

vapid narwhal
#

wait till you get the first aspect lol

raven meteor
#

Spear aspects seem to just buff certain parts of it

quaint hatch
#

Just worse then other options

cloud apex
#

if bow fired to max range without need to charge but for less damage maybe then it would feel better to me but charging on every attack is quite frustrating
Just to wonder, the bow dash strike isn't fast enough for that, right? Because it does suit the expectation nicely

quaint hatch
#

Demeter be poggers

vapid narwhal
#

also upgrade default fist aspect is another very strong weapon

raven meteor
#

I really don't like the fists... seem like just a worse sword

vapid narwhal
#

it plays very differently to a sword

iron loom
#

I find the fists fun, but stressful

#

and I win more with them than any other melee weapon

cloud apex
#

Definitely not a worse sword, they are more different than say, spear and bow bouldy

vapid narwhal
#

aphro is almost a must on fists

iron loom
#

which I consider sword, spear, shield, and fists

vapid narwhal
#

or athena deflect boons

balmy ginkgo
#

also should i take dark regeneration or ch.vitality?

#

sounds like vitality is more reliable (?)

vapid narwhal
#

vitality for sure

balmy ginkgo
#

fiery or dark presence?

#

fire sounds way better i dont recall how much i actually hit stuff from behind

vapid narwhal
#

dark

iron loom
#

dark

balmy ginkgo
#

how often do i hit from the back

#

😐

iron loom
#

all the time with the spear

vapid narwhal
#

you hit them from the back all the time

#

even if you dont intentionally do it

balmy ginkgo
#

is that how it works?

#

kinda weird tbh

iron loom
#

aren't there some attacks that don't backstab?

vapid narwhal
#

a lot of foes turn your back against you as part of their moveset

cloud apex
#

Dark regen is only good when you have darkness on bosses imho

vapid narwhal
#

if you dodge against an melee mob you often land behind their back

#

it's very easy to do

iron loom
#

can you backstab with chiron special?

vapid narwhal
#

yes

#

backstab does not strictly require you to be directly behind them

iron loom
#

I never paid attention to that one, neat

vapid narwhal
#

it's about a 90 degree angle

balmy ginkgo
#

stygian soul or infernal?

iron loom
#

infernal

vapid narwhal
#

cooldown cast on non cast build

#

3x cast on cast build

#

for starters take cooldown

raven meteor
#

For the 3rd area boss you're basically ONLY backstabbing

balmy ginkgo
#

i still have this crappy red cast

#

when do i get casts? :/

#

i hope this is not always baseline it sucks

raven meteor
#

3x cast is useful for that one mirror thing that gives extra damage vs enemies with cast stuck in them

#

It's your base cast, you can get different effects on it and change how it works via god boons

balmy ginkgo
#

yeah thats what i figured

#

boss dps

#

with the damage increase

raven meteor
#

Boss, miniboss and tanky rat dps

balmy ginkgo
#

but i wasnt sure if it stacks more the more you have in them

vapid narwhal
#

cast is your basic ability

#

it doesnt stack

raven meteor
#

Nope, it stacks once, regardless of how many you have

balmy ginkgo
#

ah okay

raven meteor
#

I kinda want something that makes it so casts never get un-stuck, tbh...

quaint hatch
#

Regeneration 100%

vapid narwhal
#

3x cast is usually for cast specific builds which is not something early game benefits from that much

#

take cooldown

raven meteor
#

One of chaos' "drawbacks" do something like that, but it's temporary

balmy ginkgo
#

and my game just crashed 😐

vapid narwhal
#

that is actually not

raven meteor
#

I feel like faster cooldown is better for cast builds...

vapid narwhal
#

that drawback is you cant pick them up

quaint hatch
#

Infernal is usually better for most cast builds

vapid narwhal
#

the stone drops out and you cant pick them up for 10 seconds or so

quaint hatch
#

You can use stygian but it gives you much less damage and controllability

raven meteor
#

Isn't there something where enemies keep your casts in them longer?

quaint hatch
#

You can pick them up instantly

#

What are you talking about

vapid narwhal
#

not from what I know of

#

there are things to make them drop out faster not slower

quaint hatch
#

Hera makes your blood stone drop time faster

#

It's 15 seconds

vapid narwhal
#

and one that deals damage when the stone dislodges

quaint hatch
#

By decault

#

Dislodge is exit wounds from artemis

vapid narwhal
#

and yeah Hera, a weapon made for cast builds, does not work well on Stygian Soul

#

because of the down time

quaint hatch
#

Yup

vapid narwhal
#

so cast builds def need Infernal Soul

quaint hatch
#

Yep

#

Stygian can be better but you would need an insane amount of specific boons

I find 3x casts to be better on non-cast builds than faster cooldown because i can just keep a cast stuck in the boss 24/7

quaint hatch
#

Artemis legendary, hermes legendary, chaos extensions

#

Wtf

vapid narwhal
#

unless you get Fully Loaded as your first boon lol

quaint hatch
#

Stygian is better on non cast builds

#

You only want one stone to lodge either way

iron loom
#

and it's especially useful early on with the 3x cast if you pick up a boon right away

quaint hatch
#

And you don't want to put yourself in harm's way to pick up stones

#

Or rather you don't want to pick up stones at all

vapid narwhal
#

unless you get extra casts, on a single stygian cast you are facing downtime every 3 seconds so not ideal

#

especiall for Hera since without a cast it's weak AF

quaint hatch
#

Stone need 15 seconds to dislodge so it stays in long
By that time you cast has regenerated like 5 times

vapid narwhal
#

well for most cast builds, cast is the main damage dealer

quaint hatch
#

especiall for Hera since without a cast it's weak AF
@vapid narwhal I never said anything different or who are you talking to?

vapid narwhal
#

ah no I was just saying

#

not targeted towards anyone

quaint hatch
#

Aight sry

unkempt sleet
#

Stygian soul also works very well with casts that don't normally lodge into enemies, since you can use them faster

quaint hatch
#

It's usually burst vs consistency with that

#

But even on non lodging cast builds infernal should be better

unkempt sleet
#

Having multiple Demeter beams on different map positions makes up for some damage, especially with the upgrade

#

Well it really depends on the cast

vapid narwhal
#

demeter beam + tracking is very deadly

quaint hatch
#

Yk you can even have multiple demeter beams with infernal too...

vapid narwhal
#

and lets you do some crazy stuff

quaint hatch
#

And you can control the spacing

unkempt sleet
#

Hunting blades and blizzard shot work extremely well with Stygian

quaint hatch
#

I didn't say they won't work well

wise stratus
#

Does Sweet Nectar work with ||Persephone Poms?||

quaint hatch
#

I'm just saying I'd rather delete enemies with 3+ blade rifts at once

random plover
#

I don't see why not

unkempt sleet
#

Yeah it's a lot better for burst damage

quaint hatch
#

Dont wanna knock your preference m8

unkempt sleet
#

I just wanted to say that not all cast builds require infernal

#

Except Poseidon sword

quaint hatch
#

They don't require no

#

But it's just most of the times better form my point of view
I prefer stygian on non cast builds

unkempt sleet
#

I prefer Stygian in general

quaint hatch
#

It's nice to not have to pick up stuff lol

unkempt sleet
#

But infernal does deal more damage if your bloodstones don't end up in lava

#

Yeah I don't like running for my casts

quaint hatch
#

But I stand in lava a lot either way

#

Infernal has to have a drawback ig

#

For the big burst potential

balmy ginkgo
#

all three nymph options seem good to me

#

what do people usually pick?

high island
#

But even on non lodging cast builds infernal should be better
Nah, Stygian Soul lets you cast more often over the same time. There's a reason Stygian is meta for non-lodging cast builds.

balmy ginkgo
#

quick quesiton, about witches circle

#

i have no idea how to not take a lot of damage in this fight i havnt cracked it yet

blissful mica
#

Zag should make a smash bros appearance

#

If not in ultimate, then whatever comes next

#

Just saying.

#

Or dusa

quasi olive
#

@balmy ginkgo depends on the weapon... With ranged weapons, I find that placing myselfnear a pillar allows to block many projectiles while being able to attack and destroy the remaining ones

high island
#

@balmy ginkgo I could write something about learning patterns or whatever, but the real answer is Deflect or just murder them asap. Once you've killed the first, there are way fewer bullets on screen.

quasi olive
#

With melee weapons, fast area damage attacks allow me to attack while almost immediately destroying the projectiles (eg with fists)

vapid narwhal
#

athena attack/dash renders witches circle a joke

high island
#

Just dash towards the closest Witch on either side immediately and rush her down as she spawns.

blissful mica
#

Hey what's the titan blood item called again?

#

Not seeing it in the codex

#

The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to find out how to farm it

#

Also I am wondering how to find out which weapons I've yet to acquire it with

fathom latch
#

Titan’s blood item, do you just mean titan’s blood?

blissful mica
#

Oh yeah

fathom latch
#

And have you beat the final boss yet?

blissful mica
#

Then it's just called that

#

No

#

Got to the second tunnel in styx

fathom latch
#

Okay, basically the way it works is

#

When you beat a boss you have never beaten with a certain weapon you get a material

blissful mica
#

Yeah

fathom latch
#

1st boss is titan’s blood, 2nd is diamond, 3rd ambrosia, 4th is another titan’s

brisk trail
#

yes my first win Hades in to 9 runs 🙂

fathom latch
#

So make sure you have beat the final boss with each weapon, and after that you need to go for the full clear

blissful mica
#

Oh last is another titans

fathom latch
#

First boss with each weapon***

#

Not final haha

blissful mica
brisk trail
#

yes

abstract drum
#

I didn't even say a bad word bro

brisk trail
#

Hey guys

abstract drum
#

Proxy is a 🤡

brisk trail
#

hey

blissful mica
#

@fathom latch is there a way to find out which weapons you still haven't beaten the first boss with?

abstract drum
#

I might get a tattoo of something from the game tho, thinking Than's scythe

#

or the Hades Spear

blissful mica
#

Also, how do you get more after you do that with all the weapons

fathom latch
#

@blissful mica if I’m not mistaken, until you beat the final boss there isn’t a way to tell

blissful mica
#

Oh.

fathom latch
#

No spoilers, but after you beat the game, it opens up more ways to earn those materials

quasi olive
#

Minor prophéties help with resources such as Titan's Blood

blissful mica
#

Ugh I'm never gonna beat the final boss tho

#

I can't even get to him

fathom latch
#

Honestly

quasi olive
#

Eventually you will don't worry! : )

fathom latch
#

Use the shield

#

Max out your mirror to the best of your ability

blissful mica
#

Only have been to styx one time

fathom latch
#

And just get some good builds going

high island
#

No, it's called Titan Blood—not Titan's Blood. dusa

brisk trail
#

So idk where to ask this lol but will Hades be on sale anytime soon?

blissful mica
#

I've maxed hp

brisk trail
#

I missed the early release sale

fathom latch
#

The shield is able to block every single attack in the game

blissful mica
#

No, it's called Titan Blood—not Titan's Blood. dusa
@high island ah okie

fathom latch
#

That’s literally the exact same name

#

Lol

brisk trail
#

And third world country so it's just a little hard to purchase

blissful mica
#

Note to self: git gud with shield

vapid narwhal
#

you can sorta get it cheap on Epic Games Store, if you dont mind

high island
#

It's not the exact same name.

brisk trail
#

They don't even have regional pricing afaik

blissful mica
#

It's very nearly the same name

fathom latch
#

It has the same exact meaning

high island
#

SGG games are on sale very often.

vapid narwhal
#

yeah then wait for sale then

blissful mica
#

But we are talking semantics

vapid narwhal
#

EGS has regional pricing now, worth checking

brisk trail
#

I mean Hades just came out so I don't expect it to be on sale anytime soon

#

I hate epic lmao but I'll check if it's any cheaper

vapid narwhal
#

grab Rocket League for free

#

it should get you a 10 dollar coupon

brisk trail
#

Alright

#

It's the same atm

#

Oh

#

Okay I'll try that

#

Meh thanks for the help but I'd rather wait and get it on steam

#

Oh I actually can't ,cause I'm on Linux lol

high island
#

It doesn't have the exact same meaning, though. Titan Blood can be the Blood of a Titan (that runs through its veins) or Blood that somehow makes you (a) Titan or Blood that is somehow Titan (e.g. by being very big or shiny or magical). Titan's Blood can be the blood of a Titan (that runs through its veins) or the Blood of a Titan in the sense that the Titan is somehow the owner of that Blood (e.g., the Titan, Jeremy, bought it at Charon's Shop, and now it's the Jeremy's Blood—Titan's Blood). dusa

vapid narwhal
#

it should work through Proton

brisk trail
#

That's valve's property, isn't it?

vapid narwhal
#

yes, it's Valve's custom Wine wrapper specificaly for Steam

balmy ginkgo
#

do people take high confidence or thick skin?

granite ether
#

yes, people take eiither

vapid narwhal
#

high confidence for high skill players

fathom latch
#

Read the codex entry for it, it’s literally the blood of titans

balmy ginkgo
#

i have quite a few blood

#

no idea what to do with it yet

granite ether
#

speedrunners almost exclusively take high confidence iirc

vapid narwhal
#

yeah

brisk trail
#

Well uh I'll go down the epic route if there's absolutely no way lol

granite ether
#

thick skin is great for general survivability

vapid narwhal
#

they dont have problem dodging stuff and the extra firepower is nice

#

thick skin is also viable, especially if you take one of the hidden aspects

brisk trail
#

If anyone has any idea when this will go on sale @ me

#

Really want to support these folks lol

vapid narwhal
#

bookmark this

brisk trail
#

Nice,thanks a lot!

high island
#

I know that it's the blood of Titans. That doesn't change that Titan Blood and Titan's Blood don't have the exact same meaning. dusa

fathom latch
#

In this context they mean the same thing

wheat kayak
#

What's the Hydra's name again

#

Zag takes to call it ||Lernie|| and the game UI accomodates for that, it's great, I also end up forgetting the original name

granite ether
#

Lernaean Bone Hydra

wheat kayak
#

Thank you

calm sinew
#

I want to purchase a copy of this game, (even two honestly)
But I gotta know, will there be a physical release on the Switch?
Cause if so, I'd hold off on it, and buy it now on PC

Maybe through Limited Run games again?

#

Just seeing if anybody knows

vapid narwhal
#

nothing announced right now

void vigil
grim wadi
#

I finally won

#

after 26 runs

#

thanks for the tips @high island @quaint hatch

high island
#

Hurray! Congratulations! 🥳

quaint hatch
#

Massive congratulations

#

Now it gets spicy :D

grim wadi
#

im not sure what do i get

#

gonna check it nw

quaint hatch
#

The ||pact||

#

And there is still be an insane amount of stuff to unlock and story to experience

#

Now the game really opens up

balmy ginkgo
#

why was there a double fight with the bull this time?

#

._.

high island
#

That's a miniboss encounter that can happen in Elysium.

grim wadi
#

yeah

#

im just happy i finally won

quaint hatch
#

It's good to learn him and to fun dialogue

#

Many more wins to come ;D

vapid narwhal
#

and it serves another purpose later

calm sinew
#

@void vigil Thank you for the response!

balmy ginkgo
#

so whats better

#

doom or hangover 3?

#

im running shield with pulverizing (double attack)

#

it doesnt set 2 stacks of doom right?

quaint hatch
#

Depends on your build always

balmy ginkgo
#

i dont really have a build

quaint hatch
#

No there's only one set of stack always

balmy ginkgo
#

im mid way through the game

#

uh so drunk or doom?

quaint hatch
#

On shield special?

balmy ginkgo
#

on normal attack

fervent heart
#

I like Doom on shield because the special can hit multiple enemies but honestly I've never really used drunk.

quaint hatch
#

On attack drunk sounds better imo since you have double attack
Also it's epic right?

#

He's talking about attack tho

balmy ginkgo
#

epic yeah

quaint hatch
#

Make sure you get aphrodite for the duo
And maybe ares for the duo

wheat kayak
#

Honestly I love Hangover

quaint hatch
#

If you're gonna build hangover now

balmy ginkgo
#

i can either have rare doom on attack
or epic hangover on special

wheat kayak
#

Ares/Dio duo only makes it better

balmy ginkgo
#

i assume special is better htough

#

since it spreads

quaint hatch
#

Go big drink

balmy ginkgo
#

the hangover

quaint hatch
#

Special would be better yeah

balmy ginkgo
#

im not sure

fervent heart
#

I really want to try chiron dio spec honestly
