Every time I mention it people say I'm a crackhead but BIG STACKS is just something that I can't ignore
Well doom won't benefit from double attack unless you get the boon that lets more hits do doom more damage
So id say drunk
I rather have big damage than big stacks kappa
Chiron dio is pretty good, no?
Who else would you rather on your special?
Athena and zeus are pretty good too
Dem
Never Zeus special on chiron
You could also go aphro on special for the damage
Dio is ok ye
Just not my fav fun wise
Chrono is probably one of the aspects to most reliably stack it tho ig
Generally everything that benefits from stacks works on chiron
Imagine if Chronos boons existed β€οΈ
So uh, ||Dusa got fired by Nyx, and now I'm unable to use her Companion to summon her.|| I can't tell if I'm impressed or mad
Omg
Totally forgot chronos existed
Yes please
So uh, ||Dusa got fired by Nyx, and now I'm unable to use her Companion to summon her.|| I can't tell if I'm impressed or mad
@sharp knoll no she won't be
You'll get it
Chronos (the time chtonian god, people confuse it with the titan too often), would be so interesting
There's no timer on stuff
Just rng dialogue
Time powers could work so well in the game
The last sword aspect kinda|| feels like time power with projectiles||
Depends on what you want to do with it
Create zone where time stops, create an effect where the specific mob you hit stops in time after 10 hits, etc.
Multiple things you can do honestly
It would be more about crowd control
hey gamers i have a question
when use the second form of the palms (and all other weapon forms) zag just disappears until i move and disappears again when i stop the same thing happenes with the bull boss
and my question is is there a way to fix that or is it supposed to do that?
sounds like a question for #h1-tech-support, but have you tried verifying your game files? you can find out how to do that in #h1-tech-fixes
oh sorry didnt see that ill try that thank you
Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and make some spoiler requests
Ugh one sec
Okay.. https://imgur.com/a/zQRrd9R
May I ask who I am missing in these 3 photos
It's not just that Olympian gods pic.. I'm also missing a chthonic God and two others of note
The first comes from reaching the final boss once. It's ||Demeter||
Ok
The second should appear after about 20ish runs, it's ||Thanatos||
The third I will check in a moment, hol up
Thank you
I know the last one requires you to at least beat the game
In others of note?
Word. And the one at 20ish runs is the chthonic?
He has more chances to spawn in later biomes (except tge last one)
Oh the first one in others of note is the Elysium NPC
Wait is ||thanatis death||?
No, it doesn't take 20 runs to meet Thanatos, and that's not a spoiler.
||j saw him in elysium but lost the competition to kill more monsters than he does (I was using twin fists which I suck with)?.. I guess you have to beat him to get his codex entry.||
Can anyone tell me where on earth I got the boon that restored health when killing an enemy with my special? I've not seen it since and the only similar one has been restoring health based on normal attack hits
He can appear in chamber 23 or beyond the first time.
Ugh
He does take a number of runs to encounter him tho
Nicky, those aren't boons. They're Daedelus Hammer upgrades.
Whoops....
The special one is for Malphon. The one that reduces your max life and healing, but heals for 2 on attack, is for Stygius.
You needvto talk to him at the house for the codex entry I think, he's in he Achilles hallway at the bottom
@crisp zodiac ah I see, that makes more sense thanks π Yeah it was Malphon that I got it
You don't need to win against Thanatos to get his codex entry if you speak to him in the house.
Usually you don't have to necessarily have to defeat the npc to get their codex entry. Sucks that you have ro for this one as this one is a rare encounter
The Sygius health one was useful but by the time I got to the very end I was losing too much health while attacking, before that I was just destroying everything in my path but that's because I don't have that enemy's patterns down yet
Bummer.
We literally just told you that you don't.
Wait
Also, beating him is usually easy.
Harder in Elysium π¦
Apologies
I had no idea there was another person in the house this entire time hahaha wtf..
Missed him for 26 runs
Wait
I dont see anyone
Olympian favor or dark foresight?
Never have before either
I've only seen him in the house a few times but he definitely appears
I just asked that last night, Adrian
Usually, by Elysium, I have the boons to blitz things down quickly enough. My Thanatos contest losses come when I've been offered no offensive boons except from Poseidon, I took the cast to keep my strike and special open for others, and Asphodel throws me nine jerks with high health and armor.
He appears always after you defeat him or has a small chance if you don't
I personally dont think the legendaries are THAT good that it's worth doing, personally
I like the +40% rare too much
Favor is 40% rare.
You're thinking of the wrong talents.
That happens to me
Yeah, rarity chances increase as you go.
Cool, is there a doc which shows the percent increase, perchance?
Explore the house fully every time, talking to everyone. Also, you can purchase some surveillance bats that can let you see the whole house at once.
Not to my knowledge, nope.
Get a bat's eye view!
Ugh. I hate that the one time I've "battled" him, I was equipped with the twin fists..
Would have won with literally any other weapon
Aspect of Zagreus Malphon, without upgrades, is passable. With the right hammers, any Malphon can be great.
Just in case he shows up, when you say down the hall from Achilles you mean the end opposite from hades' bedroom?
Yes.
Twin fists are bae, though!
@thorny cairn I just can't figure them out
Overlooking Styx.
Thank you Noah
That's cool, RR, everyone's got different styles
I can't stand the gun, for example, even though I know it's 'good'
Cannot wait for psychonauts 2 btw!!
Press button to punch.
Press other button to punch differently.
Don't get hit.
???
Profit.
For me the gun only got useful once I got the triple special shot
Gonna be a great, proper trippy game π
I dont like how much proximity you gotta have with the rists
Second aspect of the fists helps a lot with that, pulls enemies in
It's fine as you learn enemy attack patterns.
I find that I do my best with then when I spam dash-attack and throw in extra attacks as well
It's fine as you learn enemy attack patterns.
@crisp zodiac true
pull in, hit a few times, dash behind and attack from the back with a rear-damage booster and you can do a lot of damage. Especially in Elysium if you add armour damage to that
Yass
Cannot wait for psychonauts 2 btw!!
@blissful mica yasss not gonna be out for a minute
I also think ||bear claws|| are OP, once you get that far
Every time I think I've got an insane OP build I get overconfident and die somewhere silly
SAME nicky
Not as much as Aspect of Demeter, but they're nice.
I'm probably gonna be a lot better with them tomorrow.. I've been awake for far too long, struggling to keep my eyes open atm. Usually when I exhaustively put a lot of work into a thing I tend to do way better with whatever it is after sleeping on it
It's like, I can definitely do this extra hard chamber in styx
DIES TO ||RAT KING||
Yeah, going for things you would usually just ignore because it's not worth the reward or just charging straight into certain bosses
To be fair, ||Vermin King|| is harder than the final boss.
Every time I think I've got an insane OP build I get overconfident and die somewhere silly
@NickyDrinks#560 not every time for me but I have been there and can relate
Phase 2 of final is just where I can't quite do it yet but I'm close I think
Alright I gotta go to work (I wake up when working instead of sitting down playing video games or typing away on discord living that sedentary lifestyle)
I'll see you all around
And remember
Just one more run.
Bye, bud!
Do you actually think so? I personally agree, with some weapons for sure
To be fair, ||Vermin King|| is harder than the final boss.
@crisp zodiac
Lol later
I did that for 9 hours the first time I loaded the game! Laters
In general, yeah. The predictability is similar, but one is much faster than the other . . .
The last couple runs I don't get Nectar anymore, anyone else experiencing that ?
One message removed from a suspended account.
RNG is pretty mean
Not too easy
Itβs effectively damage resistance that gets better each time you die in a run
Itβs so more people can enjoy the game
I started off with god mode, and while Iβm fine to play without it, it helped a ton in getting me to keep coming back
One message removed from a suspended account.
That's awesome :D
yeah I have hardware limitations (no controller, ocassionally some lag) and godmode really helped me out at first when I was having to play the game w a trackpad
and so many of my non-gamer friends have been drawn to play the game when I told them there was godmode
how much value do i need to get out of pireced butterfly to make it worth?
That's automatically turning on hell mode xD
If you do a butterfly run you only play butterfly the entire run
Same with feather
likewise that the fists (and some other dedalus boons) allow you to hold down the mouse/button instead of having to click fast
One message removed from a suspended account.
Although, any damage boost can help
@balmy ginkgo what's more valuable, the damage boost or not getting hit like 5 times
From acorn
The final boss does like 50 damage a hit so yeah
I get hit too much to use acorn effectively, but I can't use butterfly at all tbh LOL
I think if your build has good base damage you can get away with butterfly
As long as you don't get hit by an Add
It's worth
You can negate like 250 damage
That's so good
48% is very rare. You'd want like 30% at least to make it worthwhile.
That's what I was thinking
I just like switching my keepsake too much to use butterfly often
Man, I am currently sitting at 60 clears, have almost all achievements and Fated List is almost completed, but ||Orpheus just won't teach me how to play that Lyre||. Any tips? π ||I play the thing at the beginning of every run, but it just won't trigger..||
It's a lot of plays
I think someone said ||200?|| don't quote me on it though. It took me forever playing 3 before every run lol
omg good to know
Wow, okay π
That's to complete the whole line though
He'll talk to you in the middle of it... 2/3 times?
It's the only prophecy still on my list, haha
any tips besides ||"keep fishing"|| for the ||fishing|| achievement? I can't for the life of me get ||a rare fish||
you have to get a perfect catch to get a very rare fish
which means you have to press the button with good reaction time
Do you use controller or mkb? ||Getting the rarest fish is apparently easier to time on controller||
There's the 3 fakeout max rule. It'll bob 3 fake times max, so the 4th one has to be a fish. Use the light/sound/vibration(controller?) indicator to haul in fish
Maybe equip the Poseidon keepsake to try to the fishing legendary more often?
oh okay good to know that that's the hold up
there's a bug where my controller won't work on my version
You can get a wired xbox controller for like $20
I may end up using my wife's computer for this one achievement then
I have controllers, they just aren't working
and I've seen other people w the same issue in tech support
eventually they'll figure out the problem and patch it
If they're not xinput controllers (xbox), it might be worth it to try converting them to xinput, there's software for that online
okay I'll try
I have a ps4 controller but the software to convert it is finicky at best, at least for me. I ended up just buying an xbox controller
I personally use a Wii U Pro controller lol
For some reason the driver software for Nintendo controllers is much cleaner than for e.g. dualshock
I use the ds4, ds4windows is what Ive used to map it and it's worked great so far
I just really like the PlayStation layout so it's been my go to controller
(I use WiinUPro for the pro controller, I think it supports most wii u and switch controllers)
Pro controller is so much better than ps4
Is there any way to see the dialogues you have with a specific character in game? There wasn't anything in the rules about talking about datamining, and I wanted to see a specific conversation again
There is no dialogue record in game afaik
theseus arterius bromance
a
You actually have all the lines stored on your computer, at least in text. If you browse to where the game is installed (Through Stream; right click on hades > manage > browse local files), you can find spreadsheets of every character under Hades > Content > Subtitles
Ok I came up with this question when I woke up and I kept thinking about it fo the rest of the day.
Hypnos' house job has nothing to do with his god stuff, so does he have like 2 jobs then??
Is thats why he is sleeping all the time cause he is busy with his god job of making people sleep and maybe collecting dreams or something?? Like he kinda owns almost half of people their lives, so that can be busy right?
Well, there's two explanations.
- Hypnos does god stuff in his sleep, because he is the god of sleep and dreams and stuff.
- Hypnos is actually just narcoleptic and DOESN'T ACTUALLY INTEND to fall asleep all the time, it just happens and he can't help it.
Since he is sleep I'd say both
I imagine him just doing it cause he likes sleeping and doesn't give a f
bruh escaping is annoying lore wise
like
you fall down to tartarus
then you have to go all the way up
and tartarus is supposed to be a pit
and tartarus is supposed to be a pit
you literally take the service elevator
@quaint hatch Yeah I did all the reqs, at least I think
Sry regarding to what again
||The aspect for the spear||
I have done all the prerequs, but I just cant unlock it
And I feel like achilles is not gonna tell me about it ever
Hello all. Dead Cells player starting Hades for the first time
465 hours of Dead Cells and Iβm ready for something new
YAY ! Orpheus offered me a Lyre !
Hello fellow shades!
and now Dusa wants to Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler... 
They should include rarity and levels in security log
That definitely needs some working
Also being able to hover items
@tepid plover Welcome back

And I feel like achilles is not gonna tell me about it ever
@jolly river then it's just rng dialogue
Only thing you can do is more runs :/
curious, on the erbus missions, does hermes artefact and the gloves titan skill carry into those challanges?
I believe plume works in there
Back to the drinking game starring vo1di
I don't want to be responsible for making you an alcoholic
Bruh, he's the god of alcoholism already


Hades reminds me of my own rather so many times
It's scary
I'm so glad the team went for this and not "HAHAH HELL BADDD"
Rip, came back from work and played 3 runs today (took breaks in between), won the first run (in career), second run died to Hydra and third run died to final boss ||second hp bar|| with zeus shield
i was hoping to win twice
Unless you're a warrior and belong in elysium
Hey everyone, do you guys know if it's possible to remove an upgrade from a weapon? I upgraded my Eternal Spear with a move that makes you dash right after you use your special. The thing is, I think that makes the weapon way less appealing to me, since I can not use the special several times on an enemy and always dash away. =/
But the remove is random
do you mean daedalus hammers or aspects? because if you click on zagreus aspect again, you can go back to it
Oh
Those are permanent
You can quickly quit the game if you didnt leave the courtyard, and it will go back to the save
But eventually you will unlock everything regardless so isnt really a big deal
But you cann freely switch between them outside of runs
Just interact with the empty weapon spot after you picked one up
It's permanent tho, I can not swap Aspects.
Yes you can swap
Once it's unlocked you can freely swap
At the courtyard
You should be able to do so in the courtyard
Click the spear again and it will bring all the aspects
Ohh, okay got it. So even if I upgraded Aspect of Achilles I can just use Aspect of Zagreus instead on a run.
Okay, that works.
Okay, I'm good now haha. I thought I had permanently made my spear super annoying. π
i always die on the stupid fourth level i hate it
Thanks guys
Also fun fact about achilles, you dont necessarily need to do the dash, if you attack while the spear is out the spear will come back to you just like normal aspect
You just dash if you press special again
But you won't get the buff
^
Right, but my way of going on a run is basically selecting Spear and smashing the X button, lol. Achilles does not let me do that haha
I always just go for focused only on one ability on a run, either attack or special. I found that works best for me.
Thats not a bad mentality, but usually need to adapt
Thanks to rng
But hey. If it been working for you by all means
is orpheus male or female
Male
He does look like one
the voice actor is 100% female
Hes supposed to have a beautiful voice
Now his look, idk how they came up with that
Hmm, maybe it's because I was familiar with the myth but I never even considered he liked female
He does
My combination of booms on a run is always
Dash & Special or Dash & Attack.
orpheus' speaking voice and singing voice are both men
Voice actor is called Michael, so p sure that's male
that way if i'm going a run thinking on upgrade my special I will never choose an attack boom
and if i dont'have a good option for a boom of the ability i'm focused on, then I choose dash or another generic boom
Racca, as long as it works, keep doing it, youre doing good
Genuinely no idea what you're talking about lol. It's a nice voice yes, but I wouldn't call it female sounding /shrug/
He's glam rock. Think David Bowie
Dudes can have nice voices too :p
still a weird disconnect for me between the VA voice and Darren's singing voice
its just sounds very very feminine
all the VA on the game is amazing! The entire cast is perfect IMO.
I'm not hating or anything or complaining, but orpheus does look and sound like a female
I do like it tho
Agreed with racca
don't see it myself, but like I said, since I'm familiar with the myth it's entirely possible I'm colored by prior knowledge Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
True
yeah i thought orpheus was a female, even despite knowing it was a man from the myth, i thought it might have just been a creative liberty like medusa being the house maid
ditto for me too, I don't think he's particularly feminine imo but can see how people could see it that way
I like that tho, his voice is pretty
I thought they were pretty clear that Dusa was distinct from Madusa?
Correct
common sense
Honestly first thing I thought when I see Orpheus was like... Sandman, is that you? lol
good that some of you agree lol
Maidusa 
@vale drift : Dusa and Madusa are distinct, right?
dionysus v artemis, which boon should i pick for the easier battle?
I prefer artemis myself
....
||achilles|| varantha
I would assume Artemis benefits from having lots of distinct hits
Artemis should do just fine
more chances for crit
yeh
can't say no to crit
I... haven't been able to convince myself that the math works out
no its the double boon arena, which should i pick first for an easier ecounter i mean ahaha
oh
dionysus
I mean he is ez too, but art is easier i feel
I know they do a great job of balancing stuff, but the crit boosts always feel tiny.
they build up
I'm thinking of the boon that gives you like <5% chance to crit
Thats peer pressure
I don't think that one's worth it unless it's at least epic
Thats on all dmg tho
It is always worth imo
2% on all dmg is not the best
But it works
Also you can pom it up
That sounds so inconsequential
true
And when it hits, it does what.... 200% damage at base?
ARE WE READY FOR THE CONCERT, FAMILY!?
yeah π
love it when my special crit damage goes over 1k
Or even more.
love it when my special crit damage goes over 1k
@nocturne reef That has happened to you? π
heh, 4 figure damage does feel really good...
adamant rail+rocket with artemis special
My max crit has been 1.2k with ||arthur||
Syndic, do you mean Medusa?
Maidusa 
I thought I read in the codex that they were distinct
Hey Greg, thanks for the beautifully crafted game, just wanted to let you know
Well done to the whole team
Give me a paid dlc and you have my money
every game be lovely from supergiant β€οΈ
Agreed
I like to say the game is the canon; please don't look to me for "tiebreakers" about what is true in the world of the game. It's all in the game itself.
thanathonk
than thinking
It's a general response to Syndic's question above.
Ahh. Sorry for poking you then.
Hello everyone
I just hit 25 escape attempts and I still can't beat Hades
Am I doomed to fail forever
that's ok it took me 38 attempts
Hehehehe
I wanted cool swag from the concert but it doesn't ship to the US π¦
took me 30 attempts
spoiler@wild helm
I was so excited
Jk, just try again and again
is there no escape? 
What's the concert?
@wild helm check #announcements
Thank
i beat final boss on my 25th attempt I think
Is ||Hades being the final boss really a spoiler though? He's the game's namesake after all||
it's weird because like
Final boss is spoilers in this channel I think
my first 10 or so attempts were me being stuck in the first map
plz spoiler tag the final boss@zealous galleon
Okay, very sorry
Is it wrong that I spend more time with Supergiant Games than my family these days? 
there's a difference between thinking that's probably it and knowing so
oops sorry Alpha
the games themselves i mean obviously
Eh true enough
I was mostly just playing the game at my own pace
Final boss is spoilers even in steam
I'm here because I wanted to express my love for this game. Holy crap. I have not played a game this charming and this engrossing in so long
It specifically says battling the final boss instead of the name
there's no number you HAVE to make an escape at
would love to spend time with the devs someday tho, absolute inspirations, much love
RIGHT
it's a roguelike. play at your own pace
Do it again and again
Idk if anyone else has played Kid Icarus: Uprising but this game gives me major KI: U vibes
I'm over 200 attempts 
i normally don't enjoy Roguelikes because I always hate dying in games even if it doesn't have any real consequences, but Hades is the first game where I actually enjoy dying
yeah im on my 24/25 run and still havent beaten it yet ||gotten to like super low hades second phase but sadly no W yet||
im at over 200 attempts across all my saves now, can never get enough
Dying in hades is cool, cause you get to progress the story
I think my playing has been a bit obsessive though, it's only been a couple of weeks since I got it....
^^
it def helps me overcome my anxiety over failure
Yeah i'm playing a lot more of Hades than I am of Spelunky 2 because of the constant story progression
I'm at my fiftieth or so attempt now and I'm worried I'm about to beat the game soon, I'm not the kind of person who likes to 100% games (so get all the achievements), I generally dip out after finishing the story
About to start. Anything I should know as a beginner?
its a good gameplay loop, you win? pog. you lose? mmm story
Same Dionysus just a few minor things for me to unlock on my main but have practically unlocked everything at this point
I mean, it's a roguelike so
@zealous galleon Im' on attempt like 74 and still haven't finished the story
tbf I'm not gunning for the epilogue
there's more to do after
@dusty path Just remember - there is no escape
like
but yeah, there's a lot to do
a lot
Just got through finishing Dead Cells and heard this was good
I'm worried though because I've already noticed that certain characters are running out of lines to say
@dusty path have fun don't sweat it too hard
shows about to start 
if you don't like the gameplay and want to get to the story just turn on god mode
when ||Hades achieves his second form|| he doesn't say anything to me anymore
Cause he's mad
Yeah Iβm hoping for a Dead Cells like experience from a Diablo camera perspective

I honestly think Dead Cells is harder than Hades but maybe that's just me
when I encounter the boss of the third map, they just say one line and fight instead of having a conversation like before
Meh
YELL BUILD THAT WALL
I honestly think Dead Cells is harder than Hades but maybe that's just me
@wild helm I agree, but I enjoy Hades so much more
when I encounter the boss of the third map, they just say one line and fight instead of having a conversation like before
@zealous galleon they are exhausted
Well I could use a mental break after that game. lol. 465 hours. Looking for my next big game
unfortunately yeah
I'm just worried characters like Nyx are gonna run out of lines what do I do then π
No one talks to me anymore 
everytime you progress in hades, its like 100x easier to get back to where you were
Holy crap that's impressive. You've come to the right place. Hades is similar enough that it's going to scratch that same itch, but different enough that you can certainly spend another 400 hours here @dusty path
everytime you progress in hades, its like 100x easier to get back to where you were
@indigo canopy yeah I had this too
@wild helm Nice. Thatβs what Iβm hoping
i remember using a dd and being low health when i first beat meg
after you beat a certain map or boss, you have an easier time beating them next time
ive beaten ||the champs|| multiple times and i still havent got through without using a dd
brooooo im missing 1 piece of gold to get a boon at the shop, right before a boss fight too
Naughty naughty. Lol
I remember feeling so weak because I had all these gods and even ||ancient heroes and primordial beings and stuff|| helping me and yet I still couldn't beat certain maps or (mini)bosses but now I go through them easily
250 health at elysium, max health run π
I beat ||ultimate hades|| for the first time the other day. Can't believe ||he called cerberus on me 0//_//O||
@wild helm I agree Mr Snub i find Dead Cells much more difficult, but for me its cause its more of a platformer, which is one category of games I'm awful at
I just wish there was a way to make Zagreus stronger in ways that aren't just run specific (boons from gods) or ||Nyx's mirror, because technically you're just getting buffed by Nyx instead of becoming stronger yourself||
You should be able to lift bouldy 
Like, it doesn't matter if you're at the beginning of the game or end, technically Zagreus is just as strong as he always has been and you'd expect the son of Hades to be much more powerful
I've gotten to the point where I mostly can keep my dds until the final boss fight
Hmm. I would say platforming is the least focused on aspect of Dead Cells. But I understand why someone might have your opinion. The traversal can be tricky to master
ugh
if not I hope I get a special room in elysium lol
okay I don't think perfect catches are possible
Like, it doesn't matter if you're at the beginning of the game or end, technically Zagreus is just as strong as he always has been and you'd expect the son of Hades to be much more powerful
Hes wiser
even just the game in general is more difficult imo
the power scaling in the game is kind of off anyway because ||you can beat Hades yet it looks like the Olympian gods are far far faaar more powerful than you||
Word
Imp. They are
I literally hit it as the thing went under on the correct bob and it wasn't a perfect
I think there's too much lag on my keyboard input or some nonsense
zag's more level headed
@dusk night Iβm about to start Hades right now so Iβm not sure how it compares just yet
that's his super power
Like legit I promise you ||hades|| could probably not beat elysium lmao
(I got the catch, it just didn't say Perfect Catch)
I pretty much always get perfect catch
Yeah, why is ||Hades defeatable full power but the gods seem more powerful?||
yeah that's what Im wondering spacepillow
Well from plenty of experience in both im sure you'll find Hades easier to be real with you
||Hades is on the surface and it's implied that ALL The Cthontic gods get sick and start to die out there||
I wait for the light flicker at the tell for fishing
cuz hades a bish
I don't trust the bobs
Well Iβm gonna get started. Nice to meet everyone
but who knows you may struggle more than some in a way @dusty path
||so he's not actually at full power, he's got the same harglbargle "Natural Causes" sickness that Zag does||
@thorn tendon true but Zagreus' power does not change
take care and good luck mate
||And he's been standing out there staring at fish for longer than Zag||
β
Lmfao staring at fish
so why does ||Hades become weaker but Zagreus doesn't until he dies||
"That one is mocking me"
||Well, we don't know that he dosn't start to lose power once he gets to Persephone π It's implied that Hades has been standing out in the cold for a while -- possibly since when you got to Styx||
the bossfight is immediately outside of the gates, they're both at full power
Let me fight hades in the courtyard 
the bossfight is immediately outside of the gates, they're both at full power
That is still outside Greece, not the underworld
whoops, swore
||why zag doesn't immediately die is kinda story spoilers||
Vullain wdym
||If a Fish spawns, Hades has a line about how he's been staring at the dang fish for a while like "to heck with you, fish."||
@tepid plover there's a whole ||garden|| you could use for practice, but nooo... you gotta have that weird ||skeleton|| on your ||balcony|| 
That is still outside Greece, not the underworld
@tepid plover maybe the fates know that they're still at their doorstep and turn a blind eye π
No joke
anyway how do I suck less at fishing, besides possibly installing a cheat x_X
close your eyes
because I genuinely think my reaction time is just at .34 seconds and will never get better
use a controller with vibrate
||If a Fish spawns, Hades has a line about how he's been staring at the dang fish for a while like "to heck with you, fish."||
||That one has been mocking me|| I loved that line
well rip
just watch for the light don't look for the bob
also get a controller, the game is pretty much made for a controller
i perfect catch all the time with the help of vibration
@thorn tendon make yoga, improve reflexes, relax body and mind, be one with the stick.
so unless someone's gonna give me a controller
oh damn, sorry to hear that
I cant stand controller
seriously I just watch for the light
mkb ftw !
Hell yeah
I mean I want a controller lol for Star Wars Squadrons, but I have no money for that either
F
I'm just glad I got Hades in Early Access and forgot about it
oh nice
so like all these years later I'm like OH I DO OWN THAT LAWL
I specifically waited until it wasn't on sale on the switch and got it
Honestly, I wish I started playing after 1.0
whenever I see the light I die a little bit inside I get a knee jerk reaction and my whole body pushes on the E button like I've been Jolted by some lighting god or somesuch.
Same
@tepid plover That's the other reason I waited tbh, I knew the game was gonna be kinda unpolished
because I like to pay full price for quality games
and then I forgot I owned it
Oh the game wasn't unpolished lol
also I love supergiant and will give them all my money
Game was pretty much complete gameplay wise
And yeah I supported it early access because it doesn't matter what Supergiant does if they're like "we maek gaem" I'm like HAVE MONEAY
if I have money
my codex is now full for most of the fishes except those in ||Chaos Rooms|| because they're cowards ! I only ever get ||Projellies|| and have no idea what the others look like.
I was mostly waiting because I didn't have time to play and then 1.0 was out and I was like oh nice timing
I'm only missing the rare Greece fish, cause whenever I win, theres no fish
got two of those spoilers in a row
greece fish are so much harder to come by now...
Yeah
what's the noise it makes when you can get fish
Splash
like is it a ding or a loud spash

oh balls
you mean the sound when entering a room with a fishing point ? that's a Ding.
when you die at the easiest part
no, I mean when you're supposed to reel it in
All my perfect catches in tartarus are knuckleheads 
same tbh
Is a splash noise
I do catch a lot of knuckleheads, maybe I'm getting perfects without realizing
Lmfao
execpt I only ever get chlams in elysium so who even knows
all I seem to get is knuckleheads in tartarus
getting a ||scyllascion|| is a festive occasion.
all I seem to get is knuckleheads in tartarus
This^^^^
I catch mostly charp in elysium
for the longest time I only caught ||charps|| in ||elysium|| but now all I get is ||seamares|| for some reason.
I dont remember whens the last time I got a ||scyllascion|| or hellfish I believe is the other one
Is all knuckleheads
hellfish was my second fish
lol
||slavugs & flameaters||are also hard to come by these days.
can you see what you've caught so far during a run
I get a lot fo flameaters
slavug was my first one lmao
No you cant
dangit
Only at the chef
i never got knuckleheads
Slavug is asphodel
||chrusteaceans|| being cute, I don't mind much
I have a... problem that severely affects my short term memory and this game is sure mean about that sometimes
was so happy when I unlocked records and could see what bounties I actually earned from where
@thorn tendon don't think so, only when giving them to the ||head chef||
VICTORY IS MINE AAAHAHAHA
congrats?
I beat them all
congrats!
time to win again
And again
and again
But not the fourth time
No, that time you get killed by that stupid shield & spear guy in elysium
I find them the hardest game boss
No, that time you get killed by that stupid shield & spear guy in elysium
I die to his friend, not him
nah death by butterfly ball
Yea, that was quite annoying. The only two minibosses that make me use my ||Companion Antos|| are butterfly ball and teleporting witch.
They are the easiest to handle in there
@random plume curb your arrogance
How about teleporting butterfly ball 
oh my gosh so the Zeus Shield? Anything that does effects On Special is silly
because it seems to tick per hit
Well yes
Athena Special makes the Witch room SILLY
just plonk it in the middle and watch them kill themselves
Would be weird otherwise wouldn't it?
I suppose so, I'm still just delighted
It's fun what you can do with a flying hitbox
the ARtemis one that firs arrows per hit? ARROW ARROW ARROW ARROW
Haven't gotten Hangover on it yet but I bet that's fun
Create a no zone
yesss
I love that I can just kite it behind me and brain afk
Now the only button I use is dash
oh yes that's super fun
Currently on a run with the Ares dash and Dio Aid, so my Dash becomes this swirly ring of death
(Related note: love how Hades complains about you spilling wine on his clothes if you hit him with Trippy Shot or Dio Aid)
Free wine for later
just waiting for him to yell at me about my drinking problem or something lol
I'm disappointed by ares dash ever since playing hunting blades
did anyone watching the orchestra live stream see all the comments abt front facing than π
Im kind of upset that the chaos aspect of the sheild is so bad. I really like the idea of it, but because the βbonus sheildsβ arent real, none of the improvements that affect the special work at all. How fun would it be if zag caught all the bonus sheilds and each one caused the explosion on catch if you got that upgrade? I got the bonus bounces upgrade and that doesnt work on the bonus chaos shields either! It just feels really bad and i regret upgrading it all the way π¦
Why haven't you pinged me dio
Yiu haven't said random or rng lately, im displeased
It was they way with the bonus shield before afaik and that would be op
Although
I would kind of like that
Not liking something doesnt make it bad
I had no reason to
^
Especially true In hades
Aside from that I identify as chaos shield
Def my fav aegis aspect as well
@tiny tundra the secret is that the bounce hammer is not very effective
Especially on chaos
@buoyant merlin I think you gotta wait til the stream is over to get the chat replay n timestamps
I'll find it once its done
Ty
how many floors do i need to clear perfectly to justify butterfly?
how much % makes it good / worth using?
I think itβs more reasonable to use with a long range weapon
Idk what number to justify itβs worth
Holly crap the live version of good riddance is enchanting
i dont think it really matters with what you use as long as you dodge
anyway at what % does it become good / worth a slot?
anyone knows a number?
As long as you win, it was worth
thats.. not how things work π
to not get hit you dont only need to dodge
you need to kill fast
Not necessarily, but it is more effective that way yeah
either way does anyone know give or take the number im after?
Oh ok
Didn't know that
30% is achieve, but I feel like 20% is fine?
Thanks for telling me
20 floors? damn thats a lot
That's not good mathz
yeah i know still quite a lategame item considering mistakes
Styx doesn't matter asmuch
Was I ever good maths?
Butterfly is 2% per clear when ranked up
One message removed from a suspended account.
Yo gameplay question I've never been confident enough to try, if you take off butterfly or plume do you keep the buffs or do you need to keep them on
One message removed from a suspended account.
You do not keep the buffs when you take them off
alright cool my assumption was correct
right, 20% isn't 20 floors...
@leaden patio pshh
Thought it was one
Was I ever good maths?
@quaint hatch I was told you were the best
Wow people are cruel liars
See the grapevine I was consulting said the same
Unfortunately
Guess that's why we're all in the Underworld huh?
My fault?
I mean, zags life was a lie all along
thx for link for game festival
it was nice ^.^ and i would probably miss it if i dont spot it up here
thanks once again ^
I feel like we should be able to reroll hammer upgrades if we have the mirror upgrade to reroll boons/wells
I think there was discussion on that it was deemed too good if we could do that
Some hammer upgrades are such straight trash
The mirror is called Fated Persuasion, how do you persuade a hammer?
don't listen to 'em hammer, I know you're great
Check mate atheist
I mean you can talk to
Charon's Wells are... alive?
but you can't reroll Bouldy boon either
But rerolling hammers broke the balance and spirit of roguelite I guess
still check mate atheist π
As it would allow us to control too much
You can't reroll bouldy because you should be happy with whatever he gives you
if you can roll hammer, Snap Dash Nova would get 0% pick
It still doesn't get picked
true xD
What is you guys most hated enemy from sheer annoyance or run ruiner? Mine is every enemy in Styx and archer guys in Elysium
Asterius is my DD sink
Shield guys
I had 3 miniboss butterfly in ||EM 4Hades|| fight. That was real fun I tell you
The ball itself isn't that bad
The whole boss fight
Styx rooms where the antidote is hidden in a hard to see spot
RNGesus is making me choose between a Chaos gate, Hammer Upgrade and a Trial of the Gods with Aphrodite and Ares, I am both blessed and cursed today π
Hmmm question. Does +Dash strike also include the special dash-strike w/ Malphon's gloves?
and its only the 5th chamber for crying out loud
Ah so Artemis boon doesn't affect it I see
It didnt say attack, it said "dash strike"
Set terms in this game
i asked this the other day, but you can still get concentrated fire the gun hammer upgrade right?
but just not with ||lucifers gun||
which is TWO things
@pseudo onyx you got me
I'm going to go on the assumption its the standard attack dash strike, but it would be kinda cool if it affected both the dash strikes of the gloves. I might be bothered to test it later lol
I would assume the same
Ah so Artemis boon doesn't affect it I see
@gusty slate it does
Oh
Dash Upper absolutely gets buffed by Hunter Dash
Thank you
My hero! Now that's going to make for a fun 4th aspect build
tho I imagine that static damage doesn't change but that's fine by me lol
yeah, it's true. as unintuitive as that sounds.4th fists ||"doom"|| isn't affect though, afaik
normal dash upper damage is
Yeah that's fine but if I'm gonna be using it anyways, I might as well make it hurt while I do it
what if 4th fists gives you... four fists
Didn't @spring kraken actually get big damage on maim?
Well, would that be affected by +special...? Hmm
I am not the resident maim expert
Thanks m8
Slap ME on everything
my problem with fist is that it gets pounded by all kinds of heat.
Some good boons are:
Divine Strike
Lightning Strike
Curse of Agony (ideally with Merciful End)
Frost Strike (ideally with Artic Blast)
Demeter fist zeus attack and demeter or
artemis special, maybe kinetic launcher
more enemy? bad for fist. more hp? bad for fist. armor? bad for fist
You need to hold down attack and dash when attacking
Sacrifices I frames but skips the attack cooldown
Not sure if anyone is into vtubers here, but I just discovered that one of the hololive vtubers is going to be playing hades in about two hours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZOAG6nyIQo&feature=youtu.be

If you've ever heard of Kizuna Ai, same idea. If you haven't, in brief, it's basically someone using a 3D avatar when streaming or creating content. The avatar moves according to how they move IRL
But you can be like, an anime girl or whatever
Great. More Hatsune Miku
Who needs humans anyway
That's pretty close if you imagine someone actually BEING hatsune miku
Cringe imo
I have come to appreciate demeter like athena

#h1-high-heat-strategies message
@spring kraken when listing off things in a list, is the implication that it's that order of the slots?
so, do the ||resource director's badges|| not do anything besides just being there?
Yeah
in end of my message.
i see
The other ? I have, so new potential gods stop showing up after you fill all our slots or get to the last zone, right? Or is there always only a set of X number per run that is generated?
Start on athena attack.
kk
You can get more with keepsakes but normal maximum is 4
With High chance game offer you ares,artemis,aphro after you take atena attack.but it can be demeter or dio too.
Start on athena attack.
@spring kraken Start with? didn't your list start with aphro? Or is the intention to try and get a switch to occur?
DR core of build. And need start with Athena for this.and its must be attack for maximum uptime of DR duo.(Athena +artemis)
DR?
They show in the contractor after a while, dont know what the requirement is @scenic path
Darkness
Lots of it
Is there anywhere I can post a photo of the game without it being #h1-victory-boasting
Depends on the contents
What for exactly yeah
Here should be fine
Here is fine, just use imgur
Will do
DR core of build. And need start with Athena for this.and its must be attack for maximum uptime of DR duo.(Athena +artemis)
@spring kraken
Sorry I am still learning abbreviations/short-hand, etc. DR as in Damage Reduction or is this something else?
alright thanks
||I was gifted something by the great king himself, sadly I cannot claim it https://i.imgur.com/ottMfka.jpg|| I put spoliers on just in case as it's a boss area

@spring kraken
Sorry I am still learning abbreviations/short-hand, etc. DR as in Damage Reduction or is this something else?
@pseudo onyx Duo boon calles Deadly Reversal.(artemis+athena)
Somethin funny that happened but I had a dream a bit ago about Zag trying to escape again but using a black van painted with flames all over but immediately crashing and having to get out and start over haha
Doesnβt know how to drive the dang thing
I wanna touch the boat 
@pseudo onyx Duo boon calles Deadly Reversal.(artemis+athena)
@spring kraken
Ok, so in your original post you listed aphro, artemis, dio, athena, that's not the order of which god in which slot, it's just general info? lol Just trying to figure out said ability where because it's interesting. So attack athena, artemis has to be special, dash ... dio? Cast aphro? and call whatever?
I read that as miami damage ngl
what's miam ?
But he's so cute.
tiny vermin is best vermin 
In the monty python bunny sort of way
So It feels appropriate when I find him while using 4th aspect of sword lol
and if all good attack can be like this.Or be much better
||https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/764819599711272960/766657584446439434/Claws4.gif|| and miam deal damage huge

@lean void why can I perfectly imagine this van lmao
https://imgur.com/a/cGA2ogB How does one make such a choice
?
hammer time, always
hammer means an extra place later on
https://imgur.com/a/cGA2ogB How does one make such a choice
?
@dusk night I usually go for Chaos because hammer tends to come around several times, but I'm also fishing for Chaos's stupid legendary boon while slowly upping my heat level so... lol
ye thats what i went with in the end
hammer means an extra place later on
@sweet heart extra place?
im just fishing in chaos in general haha still need two common fish there
like if u dont choose hammer then u will have to choose on in asphodel
which could of been a boon or something better instead
anyone know what the update was just b4?
im just fishing in chaos in general haha still need two common fish there

@sweet heart are you getting perfect catches?
600 hours only need to get 5 more fish to complete codex entries
Yuck. Time to equip that conch and hope pos gives you that boon lol
