How far do I need to get in the chambers to meet thanatos? or how many runs? ;; please help, I feel like I'll never meet him
you need to get to elysium for thanatos to be able to appear if you already did its just a matter of luck until he appear
"After reaching the 3rd chamber of Elysium for the first time, Thanatos has a chance to appear in any area except for Temple of Styx. He may appear at the beginning of an encounter (excluding Trials of the Gods) after Zagreus has lost some health in a run."
okay, thanks ;;
Do spin attacks count to the "-5 hp when attack" Chaos boon condition?
Prett sure. Dash attacks too
Anything that uses your attack button
watching some yt clips and seeing nyx in a different costume, was that a beta feature or did i iss an unlockable?
why am i not getting the petting cerberus achievement
Try walking into another room for that
Some achievements only register on changing location for some reason
(autosaving?)
oh shoot, hi crab
??
Anyone know where the game saves are located? I need to uninstall the game for a little bit but I want to keep my save
@distant siren I remember in older builds they hadn't designed Nyx yet so they put her in some cloaks and stuff as a placeholder design, that might be what you were seeing
ooooooooooooh, gotcha, a shame really, that cloak really works
she looks even more mysterious ❤️
I adore her finished design though. Despite the lack of cool cloaks.
unfortunately not likely to be a thing

Specific boon discussion: sorry if that was mild spoiler.||Is it just me, or is 'Curse of Drowning' Ares+Poseidon just kind of bad?||
||Might be better if it also had Ares boons apply so it could have a bigger effect? It's also weird that it doesn't seem to have a knockback effect.||

I feel like this case is different, as the assets do already exist, just need to be toggled
(or worst case scenario, extracted from older versions of the game)
bummer lol
Continued, last thought.||I'd be way more excited about Curse of Drowning if it created an Ares like blade vortex centered on you||
i really hope this game gets a sequel, so much awesome lore
I'm sure that Supergiant's next game will at least build on what they learned from Hades. I really appreciate all their games are as distinct as they are.
Charon's shop
fully agreed :3
I just started so I don’t know what anything is yet
those straeberries are pos of power :3
Pom of Power I believe
@runic temple yeah CoD sucks big time. Agreed.
it was my last duo boon to hunt down and I was so let down...
I'm sure that Supergiant's next game will at least build on what they learned from Hades. I really appreciate all their games are as distinct as they are.
@runic temple I'd love for more Hades in particular though. I just adore it, more than their past games. ❤️
i really hope this game gets a sequel, so much awesome lore
@distant siren So far Supergiant doesn't really do sequels but I really, really hope they make a sequel to this game
I've always seen Supergiant as a very experimental studio, you can see them improve and experiment with different things in every game they make
and I hope that they decide to experiment with sequels/prequels/etc. next with Hades
The devs have been pretty clear on here and other social media that this game will not be getting much new content after update 1.0, which is understandable
Watching the NoClip documentary, this game was stressful af for them and as they've said, they put everything they had into 1.0
next game is a dating sim
but I really really hope they understand that for a lot of people, this is their best game yet and people would love to see more games with these characters or at least set in this universe
sgg dating sim we want it
thats understandable it was clearly ade with devotion and love and tbh i can only see the sequal pulling a god of war scenario if they did ake it thou
(sorry nnnn key broken ._.)
I don't think they should turn SGG into "The Hades studio" and keep churning out Hades sequels, but I do think they should at least consider making more stuff set in this universe they've been building up well
next game is a dating sim
@flat vapor hades already is a dating sim
yeah did not even know that was a feature till two days ago lol
@runic temple I'd love for more Hades in particular though. I just adore it, more than their past games. ❤️
@austere jacinth same, I just really like a lot of these characters and would love to see more of them/do more with them beyond Hades 1.0
sgg could've very well been just "the Bastion developers" and i don't think sgg would be as big as they are now
indeed
that's why they obviously don't want to just stick to making sequels to one game or adding content to one game
but I definitely think they should at least try to entertain the idea of making a Hades sequel
Anyone seen vo1di? 
last message from them was like 3 hours ago

ugh I just hate it when a good game or movie or book ends
Are you referring to hades?
even ore when the lore is so detailed D:
speaking of sgg, i've been meaning to watch that hour long analysis of their games for a bit now...
Cause hades never ends 
hades can't really "end"-- yeah
@zealous galleon @austere jacinth Totes. I'd like to see one more content update, maybe get Helios as a boon set, and 100% agree, whatever comes next I have a lot of confidence it will be great. I think Hades is one of the greatest of all time, and most certainly in Genre. I didn't even think that you could weave story into a roguelike, and here we are, Nailed it.
I think a studio can make a franchise without being known as 'the 'x franchise' studio' every time. I'd happily play more in this world, and with or around these characters.
content update, new game, etc. it doesn't matter to me, I just want more
And I agree, their next game probably is going to be just as great if not better
... I'd also be happy to see less Lore Olympus on related tags. >.> xDDD
It's just that a lot of people, including me, specifically want more "Hades", than more "Supergiant Games"
I'm definitely going to play their next game too regardless of what it is
but I think i'd be way more excited for a Hades sequel or some content updates
I don't think we're gonna get content updates btw and I can live with that I think
This makes me want to revisit Transistor. I started that game but it didn’t grab me enough in the first few hours so I abandoned it. Hades has me thinking I need to make another attempt
Hades is what really made me fall in love with SGG so ultimately I want to expect more "Hades" stuff from SGG, but we probably wont get any
SGG doesn't really do sequels as previously established, and they've made it pretty clear that they're not planning any content updates to this game (yet?)
they said they're planning on taking a break for a bit to think about what they want to do next, and that can include content updates, but it just seems extremely unlikely
can't discount the possibility though, this is the first early access game they've done as well
True
Would you say that Hades is more popular than their previous games?
Definitely
and I hope that convinces them to do content updates and hopefully a sequel
I'm 90h in and only got like 30K darkness, but I know I need 350K for the resources director... Hadès is here to stay.
Then maybe that lends itself to DLC being more likely
i really hope so
I normally don't enjoy roguelikes but this one is pretty playable for me, I'm mostly just invested in the writing and story themes & characters
Just recently got past the first boss, the female boss that does that twirl attack
I think when Bastion came out it was very well-known for how strong/unique of an experience it was, but it still wasn't on Hades' level as far as popularity goes yeah
A lot of this really hits close to home & i love greek mythology so even though most of the game takes place in the underworld, playing this game feels like heaven
I enjoy pretty much all roguelikes, and this one was like the perfect catch for me
Yeah before Hades I was aware of Bastion being a game that existed but I didn't really know anything about it or SGG
but Hades was extremely popular
I never liked rogue likes before Dead Cells, and now that I’m done with that I’m actively hunting more. I found this game searching for “games like Dead Cells”
Dead Cells was fun for me for a bit but it got repetitive fast
Hades is also repetitive in the sense that it's a roguelike, but it also fixes that issue for me
I dropped 465 hours on my main Dead Cells save. Lol
It’s my favorite game of all time
They somehow integrated a very fun and intricate story into a roguelike game
IDK if Hades is my favorite game of all the time, I don't really have one or keep track of stuff like that, but it is definitely my GOTY
Yeah Im enjoying the Hades storyline so far
I'm sure whatever SGG does next will be great... but I'd be more hyped for Hades 2 than anything else they might offer~
I kind of got burnt out of gaming lately and I'm unable to really start playing any new games or even some of my old games, but I instantly clicked with Hades and can't wait to play more
I'm sure whatever SGG does next will be great... but I'd be more hyped for Hades 2 than anything else they might offer~
@austere jacinth yes exactly!
I don’t normally keep track of that either, Dead Cells was just that special for me
that's fair
Gotta say. Usually after I play a game that I love that much I have a hard time finding the next game that grabs me. And I love this game right away
yeah same
and I'm wondering like, does this game actually have any writers or narrative directors or whatever?
because most games don't really have a "writer" or anyone in a position like that
normally the designers or whatever come up with the story of a game and that's why most games have B movie level writing
I don't know if Hades is my fave of all time (it's up there, for sure), but it's definitely my GOTY
Nice
hello just saying but I would buy any dlc day one devs
yeah I'm in that exact same situation @austere jacinth
This game seems ripe for DLC, hopefully they feel the same
I tried Bastion and Transistor and I couldn't really get into them, but Hades is amazing
greg is the main writer for SGG!
Voice acting is surprisingly strong
Up to the point where it can even get stressful to try and remember every little thing everyone said!
ah thanks Onyx
Also yeah, Voice acting is really good y'all
Surprising how consistent it is in quality
I will never repeat the things I shouted when she asked "Do you like my Whip?"
lmao
😂
I need to give her more nectar, but I am focusing on others right now
Such as Thanatos, god I love him
Thanatos is kind of a meh character to me actually, I can't really figure out what his deal is
booze you can get to iprove friendships.
There is a lot about him
I didn’t even know there was a friendship mechanic
I usually dislike most roguelikes (the only one I liked before Hades was Dead Cells, but I even ended up dropping that after 10 hours from that repetitive feeling) but with Hades, it feels totally different
Instead of just picking up items/weapons that do specific things along your run, you literally get to create your own weapon build using all the boon modifiers, so every run feels vastly different. You cannot get bored with the number of combinations and unique builds in this game!
dude than rules, and his voice ❤️
dating* 😩
Though I can never sum up these characters in a single sentence
They are quite complex
it's good that we can't easily sum up these characters
yeah, if you go into the codex and look at their profile you will see grey hearts
I definitely think there are some characters who are more complex and detailed than others but in general they're all pretty complex
I want to know more about Hermes and Charon's working relationship gdi.
correction, he's Hermes' Spooky Boat BF 😛
Yep!
@bright lance lol. Yeah Dead Cells is hard. I only kept playing because of a spoiler I saw of a weapon you get for beating the final difficulty. Had to have it 😂
dang nice! I went up to 3 boss cells and quit after that
i remember downloading it around the time of the controversy with that one review (I think the IGN one?)
but I dropped it after a few hours
Also I recently maxed up Chaos's friendship
Though I haven't been able to give them Ambrosia
@zealous galleon good ole Filip Miucin. 😂
I'm still trying to get my first companion item from Meg and Bouldy lol
That was an epic meltdown
Oh how foolish of me, I forgot Chaos goes by They/Them for a sec
i literally discovered the game because of that
how did you guys discover Hades btw? I'm guessing most of you were SGG fans already?
He recently posted a new review of Dead Cells that is supposedly his own opinion. Lol
i love chaos theme, i will sit in that chamber for a min just to hear it
took him a bit
I discovered it from people chattering it up, talking about how great it is
@zealous galleon I found it searching for Dead Cells like games
Also yeah, I love the aesthetic of the area Chaos is in with the music
Ha, yes and no. Casual fan. I actually first saw anything Hades-related on a Homestuck channel, comparing Zag to a character in that.
I actually discovered it from a youtube stream
I think it was a stream by Alanah Pearce I'm not sure
i happened upon it when one of my fave streamers raided a stream with hades playing lol
Veedot me also made me want to play
I've been following everything they do since Bastion.

What mainly convinced me to buy it was catching a glimpse of it from Jacob Geller's stream
I also bought MGRR because of that stream
But I digress
MGRR?
Metal Gear Rising Revengance
i dont like dead cells the grind felt too repetitive
ah
i first saw it when they first revealed it during the 2018 game awards, i believe
immediately went to download EGS to buy it 😛
Planning to finish MGRR over this weekend, played it for the first time a few hours ago
I got it on Steam a while ago
Anyways back to HADES
Hades I mean
This place is much friendlier than the Dead Cells server. They have a very “every question is a stupid question” , git gud but not in a joking way kinda vibe over there. lol
not gonna lie i did not even hear of hades till day of release, it just suddenly appeared to me
I'm surprised how well the devs are running the social media
I love the HADES community, just a bunch of chill people simping over men and women
they run instagram and twitter, but also the subreddit
the discord has some mods but still
The devs aren’t very active in the discord. It’s ran by a 3rd party
Nothing but positive things to say about motion twin
not even steam did its job and alert me like it should have because of the roguelikes i already own lol
I love the HADES community, just a bunch of chill people simping over men and women
@long field and even beings that don't fall under "men" or "women" like Chaos
I love the HADES community, just a bunch of chill people simping over men and women
everyone does seem to have their simp character
I love Charon
you are my simp character, Artemis
Lol
oh no
He was the first I gave Ambrosia to
I also love Artemis, but I don't take her boons that much anymore, thanks to me deciding to experiment and do fun things
i personally love aphro, so alluring @_@
when I started a new run the first boon I got was hers, so I gave her nectar and she basically acted like I was a stalker and kept giving her nectar which made me feel bad
then I started the convo with her and she said she drank my nectar with her gf
Also Artemis already has a Girlfriend, you should know this from the way she spoke of Castillo
😂
xD
She comes around when you give her the max amount of Nectar though
i don't mind
Tells Zag sweet things about Castillo
Callisto is just artemis' simp
also aphrodite is literally just "wow look at me I'm so alluring and naked ❤️"
lmao
But here, she talks about the fact she is able to turn into a bear
Most gods >>> aphrodite
gee thx guys lol.
oh
i really can't win with her huh
I guess I have to go back to being a stupid meg simp
I also have been giving Dionysus nectar when I can
I like him
He is a big drunk baby man
This guy is great
😛
I'm probably in character as artemis right now
I love all of the characters... Even Theseus xD
dionysus is so cool
I liked it when Artemis said "Oh no, it's HER" when Aphrodite appeared
That was kinda funny
dio is awesoeeeee, his convos are so fun, even more the duo ones
So I’ve been playing hades for like 3 weeks now. To say the least, the game is amazing. I honestly think this game has a good shot at game of the year.
you'd think with how the gods talk smack about each other in the open a fight would break out lol
If it doesn't win GOTY at the Game Awards, then it will just be my GOTY
I also have been giving Dionysus nectar when I can
Thanks kind shade
Cyberpunk will probably ride the hype to GOTY. Unless it's delayed again. Hades deserves it so far, imo.
Yes
i go up to that shade every. single. time lol
I also love Theseus and his dumb banter
And how he and Asterius are just wholesome manly best friends
Theseus made the right call getting Asterius out of Erebus
My last run Theseus was getting insecure about his relationship with Asterius. Blaming Zag for it, obviously.
Last run, Zag asked Asterius "Why are you with him?"
Asterius gave a nice thoughtful answer
As he does
And Zag asked Asterius to speak for himself, but Theseus cut in shouting about how he is going to penetrate Zag
shots fired
yeah I had that line before
it's kind of sad really
the way Asterius is just stuck with this guy
and doesn't seem to want to leave
Why would he? They best friends
It's sweet. Theseus doesn't take him for granted or anything.
Theseus is toxic as hell imo
Theseus saved him.
Enemies in Life, practically brothers in Death
And Theseus shouts about how proud he is of Asterius!
Theseus indeed saved him in that he got Asterius to be in greek heaven
but it's still kinda sucks that Theseus is basically only looking for attention and probably only did that so people would think he's a good person
which we know he's not
He's a big dumb idiot who I hated at first, but now he is my little big stupid head
oh yeah i love him too lmao he's written pretty great
but he's not really supposed to be a great person
Not at all. But he's a good friend to Asterius.
Asterius definitely is a good friend to Theseus, I'm not sure if it works the other way around too
They both bros in the afterlife yes
Who doesn't understand most basic things
Theseus is a good bro to Asterius. He's a jerk to Zag, but not to Asterius.
probably true
also Poseidon is awesome and one of my favorite gods, but he's also one of the more one-dimensional characters in the game
I love Zag's banter with Theseus
He just sound so done
"Can I fight some other Hero, like Heracles or something?"
I love how Zag sometimes boasts after having defeated Theseus and Asterius
Poseidon tries real hard to be the 'cool uncle'. He is a little flatter than most characters though.
yeah
He is the best though, really chill guy
Zeus has a similar attitude but he comes over pretty fake at times
Poseidon is just always wholesome to me
with "fake" I mean that Zeus tries to act all wholesome but then he also starts boasting about stuff and gossiping about other gods and stuff
Zeus is like "I am the highest ruler of the heavens" and everyone just calls him out on it
yeah
I love it
Dionysus and Poseidon are the most wholesome but they also have their dark sides
Zeus's stuff is amusing, esp. when he talks about being a better dad to Zag and about how Demeter should just move on from her daughter's disappearance xDD
yeah
Demeter is so bitter and cold in this game
Well, all the gods have their 'dark sides', but thankfully they're a lot less dark than the OG myths.
I gave her nectar after a while, but eventually I was like "Maybe this isn't the best person to give nectar to, she kinda messed up..."
Demeter's whole life seems to have been defined by loss. She has reason to be the way she is.
I don't think Poseidon has much of a dark side, but I did notice something
rail feels so damn weak
I think that whenever you find out Theseus is being aided by the gods, you get a line from Poseidon where he basically says "haha yes that's true but it's okay we give you the best boons!"
and that's uhhhhhhhh
She did do nothing but give as she was asked to, and had suffered from quite some losses
Mythical Poseidon DEFINITELY does. But this Poseidon is trying very hard to be the punning 'cool uncle'. He's also Theseus's dad xDD
Makes sense why she would end up so bitter
Poseidon also acknowledges that he's kind of to blame for the Minotaur
He also has a line pretending that Theseus isn't his son
damn
"Zeus has even taking to calling that Theseus my son, can you believe that Zagreus!?" -Poseidon
to be fair, the game has played fast and loose with mythology like that
for example, the dionysus zagreus thing
Theseus vs. Zagreus is very much 'My dad could beat up your dad' to me though.
it really is
Being too dedicated to Mythology can be boring, I am glad that HADES has taken the liberties it has and made such a vibrant story with great characters
indeed
the game can be pretty accurate to the mythology at times, but then again you also have the main character who is completely different
If you want something dedicated to Original Greek Myth, just read the Myths then
I'm happy that they went the route of picking a random unknown character from the mythology and expanding on them though
The God of War games did this too with Kratos
Though OG Kratos was kinda misogynistic, so yeah...
I'm fine with the liberties taken. More so than with other modern adaptations actually. I've mentioned I'm not a fan of Lore Olympus and I'm not the biggest fan of God of War. Not the earlier games, at least.
Hades' adaptation of greek myth > GoW's
I am glad that HADES has such a vibrant cast
With LGBT characters portrayed in a beautiful positive light
vibrant describes the game overall perfectly tbh
this game has such an unique tone/vibe/feeling to it
i love it
I love my Bisexual Prince
basically all characters in this game are bi/pan and I love it
It's lovely. And yeah, canon bi main character - not just a 'make your own' type either.
Artemis is a lesbian though, and Achilles and Patroclus are a Gay Couple
So not really Bi in that department
i read on reddit that there is a line in the game that implies artemis is bi
Pat is awesome, poor guy
Artemis shows signs that she has no interest in men
She literally explicitly states she doesn't like men
I haven't encountered this line myself but according to people on Reddit (and I think earlier a few people here), she has a line when you find an Artemis & Aphrodite duo boon, that implies she's also into men
like again I haven't encountered this line myself so idk
Ehhhhhhh
She seems coded as gay to me. At least so far. But I haven't got that boon.
I don't think so
she does give off lesbian vibes tho
Yes, definitely
achilles gives off bi vibes to me so like idk
i interpret artemis as aroace tbh
She has Castillo, definetly not Aromantic
what's aroace?
Aromantic asexual.
I hate Athena in most myths... but I love SSG's version. And yeah, probably ace.
Athena is a weird character tbh, I expected her to have a bigger role in the game but she didn't
I can't decide if she's kinda one-dimensional like Poseidon or complex
She has as big of a role as all other gods
because she doesn't really do much outside of being your initial contact point with Olympus
I need to talk with her more, maybe give her a bit of Nectar
Her Dash Boon is the best
@long field it's Callisto. Castillo means castle in spanish.
Gods like Zeus, Demeter and even Hermes have way bigger roles than other characters like Athena
I mean none of them really do anything aside from just talk to you?
Sorry
np, just pointing names and naming fingers
She's got some complexities - she was the first Olympian Nyx reached out to, and she knows more than the others regarding Zag and Persephone's situation.
true but in the end nyx doesn't really do anything outside of talk to you either
or Achilles
but these characters are still very important to the game
Maybe Hermes knows more though.
Hermes is weird
Nyx has been offering you aid the entire time
depends how you define important
Hermes is awesome.
@brisk trail it does save
The Mirror that you upgrade from is run by Nyx
wow, this is garbage
my PC crashed and I just found out, Hades doesn't save each room mid-run?
@brisk trail yes it does
She is the reason you can upgrade with Darkness in the first place
Just gotta do some tweaking
major spoilers: ||Hermes has shown, throughout the game, that he is aware of a lot of stuff that you don't want him and the other gods to be aware of, yet he doesn't tell anyone and is willing to keep your secret without you even having to ask him||
idk if this gets elaborated on later on but this is what I noticed and it makes me pretty impressed with Hermes as a character and person ^
like the dude is kinda shady
imo at least, i saw people on reddit who disagree
||Hermes is working with you without the other Olympians knowing. He was brought in through Charon, not by Nyx directly. Love him.||
||the other gods are aware he is helping you though, there are certain lines from gods where they acknowledge Hermes is helping you||
I know ||Zeus at least has a line like that and probably Ares does too||
In #h1-tech-fixes theres a way go recover your run
Afaik, no one knows hermes is helping you
Just charon
Zeus does
What exactly did he say
||They know eventually. I think Athena likely works it out. Hermes always wants you to keep shush though xD||
Zeus is sorta in on everything causes hes a disaster
i got a line from him a while ago where he acknowledges Hermes is around "here" somewhere and that he hasn't seen him in a while, I got this after having received a Hermes boon
this is a mechanic in the game as you probably already know, gods acknowledge that other gods have given you boons
i got a line from him a while ago where he acknowledges Hermes is around "here" somewhere and that he hasn't seen him in a while, I got this after having received a Hermes boon
Yes, they know hermes work in between the underworld thats why he said that, but he doesnt know hermes is directly helping you with blessinga
There are so many lines in this game, how deep does it even go!?
Deeeep
well tbh theyre all disasters
@barren ocean true but Zeus is like THE disaster
I do like that they kept the psychopomp aspect of Hermes. So many adaptations just make him this minor messenger character.
please keep it clean!
sorry 😔
This has to be one of the most impressive games I have seen in the department of different lines and dialogue
I think the greek gods invented disaster lmao
There is so much, and it is all fully voiced!
I agree but I'm also already noticing that some characters are repeating lines and/or not saying anything at all in certain situations, anymore
and I'm worried I'm running out of lines soon
Good luck Pete
good luck!
Good Luck!
I am yet to finish a run myself
Though when I do, I am sure it will feel special
Quite emotional as well
I anticipate it
you'll finish a run soon
I know that there are some lines that only trigger in a certain order. Like romancing one character before another
I believe Mossy!!!!
I died to final boss on my last run
T.T
it happens, but hey you got there 😄
Don't remember how to fight properly, with dodging and all
I still haven't beaten the secret boss. I feel bad even triggering it xDD
I think i died to final boss like 5 times before winning
And the Final Boss in this game is phenomenal, but super tough
Secret boss is pretty hard if you dont know the moveset
Arena is gorgeous
i actually only died to the final boss twice before defeating them, but I was stuck on the asphodel boss for AGES
Poor Lernie
"That Blasted Hydra..."
Lernie was just impossible for me
I still find Asterius and Theseus the hardest bosses in the game
Also it took me while before I realized the nickname for that Hydra is Lernie
The secret boss beats them for me.
you only get the nickname after a certain line is said when you encounter the boss
Asterius and Theseus are difficult, but if you just pay attention to dodging and telegraphs, you should be fine
I actually find Asterius and Thesus to be easy now
i find the furies easy as hell
^ Same with me somewhat
but the others I have trouble with
If im doing no heat, i can manage to get the Plume benefit off
Lol rip mossy
all powerful and all, but absolutely morally corrupt at times
Really messed up people - like most gods though.
Ok, rather Overconfident
I mean, most are, but most aren't so open about it
Where do you guys get your roles btw? I want the Hades role
did you say something that was a synonym but bad? XD
I tend to get rather Overconfident with the furies
ahhh
That tends to get me hurt a lot
I hate Alecto's blades.
you can get roles in #bot-commands! @zealous galleon
I just said a word that has a curse word in it, but it isn't a curse word
what would we do without the mods
Ohhhh
i understand what you typed before now
That seems excessive.
its a bot
It's fine
its probably just looking for keywords
There's a pokemon you can't rename on account of something like that.
its hilarious
yeah I think we should chill with the bot a bit but ultimately it's not up to me of course and I understand why it's like that
wait
Monkey
I mean its automatic
Stop taunting the bot xDD
@zealous galleon
It didn't work
it works in the way that that's how you can bypass the bot
not that I want to of course uhmm
when i was younger, similar bot was installed in certain online game
but instead of deleting it banned for 24 hours
people were interested why they were banned
Giving Thanatos enough Nectar actually makes Zagreus's and Thanatos's relationship a bit more serious you know
and learned many new interesting words
If you know what I mean
I need to give Thanatos nectar
I like him, who would have though the God of Death would be so tender?
He's one of the 'nicer' gods traditionally xD
Very Handsome as well!
Also said to have a beauty to match Eros.
Supergiant definitely made good on that part!
His was the first bond I maxed. Then Meg right after.
I still gotta trigger ||the double bedroom scene somehow...||
Yup, that can take a bit
That is what I am aiming for 😳
heyo quick question
The only relationship end thing I have spoiled myself on, it was worth it
Yo?
will i still get the purge legendary boon achievement if i purge a duo boon
yes
I think so
noice thank you
Hi Alma!
hello :]

what is it? 👀
Saying goodbye to the teamwork of the gods!
-gasp-
They blessed me
XD
And I just wash it off casually, for money!
But it's better for everyone if they get along! xDD
To be fair, I've just said goodbye to the gods in general
Yep, I got that line
Not necessarily
I need to max bonds with a few still. I need Aphro to unlock that last heart. Demeter and Hermes too!
Thanks
uh so i didn't get the achievemtn lol
Sorry
You won't get it right away, I don't think
ah gotcha gotcha
Maybe need to go into another room?
||almost beat some snake with a skeleton body thing||
i'll finish my run then
He bites and spits and hisses a LOT
Also, Lernie can be the kinda boss you should try to learn
Is the S word blocked here?
As the name has "learn" but missing the a
Potentially?
Lol
Don't know off the top of my head
Just general advice, if you want to beat a boss, then you gotta learn it
Dark Souls 3 taught me that
Is the S word blocked here?
@dusty path Sisyphus? yes
By beating me to death over and over
Lol
Poor Sisyphus.
Sisyphus is allowed here 
Yeah I picked that concept up during 1000 hours with Bloodborne
Bloodborne and DS3 are some of my favorite games, because I love dying!
Anyways back to HADES again
Devil May Cry, the OG, and ESPECIALLY DMC3's Vergil.
lol.
Hey! That's the same reason I do challenge runs!
Vergil with the plastic lawn chair
There I learned to learn a boss fight, stood me in good stead for Soulsborne did DMC
And Hades, I suppose.
The way games tend to do bosses has a lot to do with learning
It's the reason why people like bosses so much
I want a lernie pet in Hades and Hera boons
i hate dying in games
Learning a pattern then being able to execute that pattern
even if it doesn't have any consequences, I just don't like dying
but with Hades it's different
Yeah, that is very understandable
Dying can be frustrating sometimes, I feel you
Also yeah, I have never gotten heated with a death in Hades
I love dying in hades
Death dosn't feel so bad in Hades, because I get to go back and talk to the characters I love with a character I also love.
It is just like: "Oh well, i'll get you next time!"
That means I get to pet cerb
And doing another run feels so good to do!
More new stuff on the run!
More things to happen!
Hey at least you didn't die with money sword build while at 3k + coins or with a cracked double Nova special sword build
More experiences to be had!
Hey at least you didn't die with money sword build while at 3k + coins or with a cracked double Nova special sword build
@stable meadow I've done those and far more embarrassing
Even after you unlock everything, you can still pet cerb in between runs 
Also, now that you mention Cerb...
I've beaten || 40 heat || and I still lose sometimes at || 5 heat ||

I almost can't wait to do EVERYTHING and... start all over again xDD
How do you think Zag wears that Spiked collar that Cerb gives him?
Like a belt
With Meg.
Also, you know about that Shade in the House of Hades that is like: "I would do anything just for a Glimpse of Aphrodite!"
And the cause of death listed is "Dehydration"
Huh
Dies of thirst xD

"I am dying, but this man is so tender and handsome!"
Also ||give me double dates with Charon/Hermes and Theseus/Asterius. I'd love to tend the garden on the surface too, and have more... everything darn it!||
What in Tarnation is going on here
"Kinda conflicting"
Thanatos is a soft, welcoming death. He's not the psychopomp that comes if you die in war, for instance.
Calm down y'all!
They gettin' out the spray bottle
Spray Bottle to calm y'all down
With Water
🔨
Cupid is exactly what you expect death to be but with all the worst traits of Aphrodite

No like the jelo mainly

what does "punishing sweep" mean?..
I like Aphro in this game, she is quite flamboyant
Only main bad thing
Than's sisters come for the ones who die violently, I think.
And I love Aphro, she blessed me with all the love I have for everyone in this game xDD
It means someone is getting punished
I love the enemy design so far
Same
I love how she talks about how Olympus is a glorious, heavenly, and beautiful place
While Artemis is just like: "It's alright..."
Alot
why don't you like insta charge with no telegraph?
also how do you unlock the hidden aspects?
Wdym, they absolutely telegraph
^
Pinned in #h1-story-discussion @balmy ginkgo
They do telegraph, they growl and rev up.
Saying they have no telegraph just means you are frustrated
they sometimes don't when up close and beating them, they just bam
other times they do
They will find you if you go in straight line like alligators
That probably means your attack covered up their rev
But if you have ice dash then you will be fine
Also, you know how good ice attack is on the fists?
It is the reason why I liked Demeter so much
Well, she did use them herself at one point
And felt that that was the reason she comes so late
Oh yeah, she did do that...
That makes a lot of sense
She's interesting for sure.
She is the oldest Olympian, how could she not be interesting?
I'm trying to encounter Ares but I keep getting Artemis and Zeus
Weird RNG right there
Aside: I love Ares' design in this game.
The coolest I've seen a modern take go tbh. He's awesome.
And EVERYONE is handsome.
Yeah, I prefer this take on Ares than GOW's Ares by huge margin
They made Ares attractive, never would have expected this
@austere jacinth but... is Charon handsome too? Hrrrnngggghhhhhhhhh
Of course! Have you seen his biceps? xD
Haaarrrrghhnhhhhhhhhhh
He big boat cutie
Ain't that cute when ||he smacks me around using his paddle||
I bet he gets happy every time Zag comes to buy something
i just got artemis again
Funny
third/fourth time now this run
Imagine trying to convey his happiness and support to Zag but can only grunts
||I still can't beat him. Than and Hypnos are laughing at me somewhere||
Use those Crits man!
The Crits!
Also, I miss Hypnos
Hypnos hasn't talked to me in a while
i got the dash attack upgrade boon, the one boon where when you attack it spawns a heat seeking arrow, and two crit boons from her by now
I miss him a lot
same Mossy, he just kinda says "welcome to the house of hades" and that's it
@austere jacinth be sure to always dash thru those smokes, and maintain position behind him as much as possible
I gave him as much nectar as I could, and then he mostly doesn't show up anymore
Wonder where he could be
||I've only tried twice. I feel too bad stealing from him, even with Nyx and Hermes's blessing!||
If a person in the House of Hades is gone, they are very likely gone for a reason
Doing something else for that time
You can find what they are doing on some occasions
Like Cerberus for example, who would be at the only place Cerberus would really be
I don't know
same
Achilles would be in Elysium
Hypnos is taking a nap somewhere else.
Also god I love Hypnos, he's so cute and goofy!
Achilles can't go to Elysium
Hypnos is taking a nap In Zag's bed, Zag just didn't notice cuz he never uses it himself
I think Dusa probably my fave resident of House of Hades
Honestly I don't really like Dusa and idk why people like her
Than and Meg are my fave, though I love everyone.
Dusa is adorable
"Megara in the streets punishing sweep in the sheets"™ - yours truly
She's just so cute, who woulda guess decapitated gorgon queen's head gonna assume shy maid personality
Oh, Achilles is up there with Than and Meg too. All my love.
I want to pet her
each to their own, I guess. I find Dusa ultra mega neurotic, enough to blow my own neuroticism out of the water
but I can see why people like her
Sorry I blame my childhood xD
I enjoyed her character, and I liked her friendship route. She doesn't seem like Zag's erm... usual type xDD
I love all the other characters though
and I find it amusing that Dusa's VA is the same as Aphrodite's
But he does appreciate Dusa!
That crazy range of voice acting talent
zeus chaos shield feels strong but so slow
Help her take that load off
She's just trying to do her best because she loves this job opportunity so much, haha.
Where can I give suggestions to devs
Read first to find out I think
Nice work!
Anyways, I think I will distance myself from here for now into a space more comfortable
Bye!
goodbye
about hunters mark
I want something like dual simitars as a weapon or maybe that one suit wearing zangreus on redit
if there is no other minion around
does it apply to the minoin that got critted?
because it says "a foe near it"
not sure if it includes self
it doesn't sadly
I love ping ponging enemies with posiden barrier damage
Ha, yes, his dash is so fun.
I just killed 3 chariots in less then 5 seconds using dash only
Chariots don't run so well in the sea >D
Hell yeah
I don't think I need a new weapon. I mean, I wouldn't say no, but I want other things more. xDD
Pos and Athena dash are bae
Do you guys always pick weapon based on darker thirst, or whichever you want at the time?
Thirst
What ever I'm feeling
Personally I do thirst so I can have a more even spread
But there’s no wrong way to play!
I have done like 80runs at this point in total
Thirst keeps me playing all of them rather than sticking with one, and I like that.
I almost never use Poseidon dash and forgot what it looked like. Most of the time went for Ares, Athena, Zeus or Dio
thirst has only wanted me using the shield, gun, and fists lately and I just wanna use the spear haha
Nice sol! How many wins?
Afaik (could be wrong) it cycles through that so that shouldn’t be possible Q
Nice dude you’ll wreck REDACTED every time in no time
With sword being half or more of the runs I should have one
Sword was the hardest for me
Yeah, the disparity of thirst chosen weapons are uneven sometimes. I went with thirst most of the time, and cleared the most using Shield and Sword, while others kinda lag behind because they're rarely picked by thirst
Fist I have lost 30 or more runs trying to get hiden aspect
What dyou mean, sol?
you have to ||get Asterius to comment on the fists, it includes a line about how "you're fighting bare-handed"||
I think I've won most with the fists.
Yeah I did like 5 runs ago but still I need more of the godlly cool aod
what is the best spear aspect?
and then ||invest five titan blood into fists and also have guan yu revealed, then asterius can tell you the waking phrase at any time with any weapon as long as you meet him in his 1v1 encounter||
Personally Achilles is my fave spear but I like em all except the hidden one
My fave is Achilles, but 90% of that is because I love Achilles and he's my mentor. xDD
and of course
He’s bae if only he wasn’t in love with someone else 😦
I didn't get bull bro mini boss fight for 30 runs mostly because of my stupidity
@stuck sundial IMO, ||Aspect of Hades|| spear
Why is that bad Vul?
ngl i like artemis boons
He and Pat are ❤️
What why that aspect
i've mostly been getting zeus and especially artemis this entire run lmao
this would be my fifth artemis boon
support fire go brrrrr
Super sweet is great
i haven't gotten ares once and i actually really wanted him
Support Fire ❤️
Support fire on gun is the best, just crushed a run with 26 ammo and super fast firing, did half my damage with support fire
Which weapon, vul?
Yesss
shield
i can't play with anything else lmao
what weapons do you guys use the most?
Whatever the thirst tells me.
Same!
Like I said, I've won most with the fists though xD
Same except add fist
Shield and spear baes
what weapons do you guys use the most?
@zealous galleon Sword > Shield > Bow > Fists > Spear > Rail
i run talos fists personally
I play with whatever has the thirst and rotate aspects
magnetic cutter makes up for the extreme melee aspects
What are the Talos fists again
Talos is great
Talos is the get over here fist
Also why do people like hidden aspect fist
I need to unlock some aspects though, and take a handful of secret aspects to the surface. Only got there with ||Rama and Lucifer|| as of yet.
Cause is fun?
Is it fun? I only tried it once and went back to Talos
I thought people said it was insanely good
I haven't tried it yet, but I love... what it's based on, so I will probably make it work ^^
I feel like aspect of zangreus should be press button when hit to dodge and increases upper cut damage by 200%
that seems like the kind of change that would be another aspect
Or at least a hammer
Or maybe just add the daodge increases uppercut
zagreus aspects tend to boost stats
You are probably right
They all just feel bland to me in general the zagrues aspects except for fist feel like a waste
Zag enhances the 'base' form because that base form is most true to their current wielder. The base fists would be different for anyone else - like for Demeter.
So he permanently makes the wepons stronger
I never use base aspects anymore lol
So how's the weather
Chilly, normal. Fine, really. Demeter hasn't frozen everything over yet~
PSA: When you're about to close the game, make sure that you go to the courtyard and wait for the autosave symbol. That's how I've avoided the run-eating bug thus far.
Run eating bug?
I read that as 'I freaking love Zag btw'. I agree with both statements though xD
Same
He's a really refreshing protagonist. Genuinely polite and respectful towards those who help him.
All I will say is I played four runs of Hades and said not hard enough so I'm going to put on hell mode
It was worth it
Got early access to different aspects
Nice
Also have you played slay the spire
I'll switch to hell mode once I've done everything I can do in my current save xD
Than really out here messing up my PB
I really like out there builds like extremely specific builds that are hard to find but are really cool
Like call builds?
PB?
Yes exactly like call builds
Or like cast tower defense builds or just tower defense gun
personal best
Specifically having the lighting rod duo boon
Yeah
My personal fav is exit wounds + lightning rod + Aspect of Posiedon
is there a visual indicator for how "far" is distant memory's damage bonus?
and does it increase damage for things like chain lightning?
Support Fire ❤️
You can test with regular casting on skelly > is there a visual indicator for how "far" is distant memory's damage bonus?
@woven cipher
yeah, but it's hard to remember on a fight 😦
and can't test chain lightning on skelly
they should totally make boon modifier on skelly
if you change enemy on lucifer, do you reset the ramp up damage?
I'd assume so.
hey, are there any compiled findings of people attempting to mod the game so far? or anywhere that i can look over people's progress
There is a modding discord if you are interested - https://discord.gg/KuMbyrN
there's a nexus page too
nice! thanks
of course my first EM3 attempt is going to be the attempt that it lets me skip ||Hades|| lmao
Wait there's an attempt that lets you skip the big boi?
p e r h a p s
of course my first EM3 attempt is going to be the attempt that it lets me skip ||Hades|| lmao
Em3 doesn't change redacted
of course my first EM3 attempt is going to be the attempt that it lets me skip ||Hades|| lmao
@abstract drum i had a stupid good sword run get ended like that and i gotta admit
pretty sad
i was looking forward to EM3 fight against it
does anyone know what happens in hades if u win on your first run
i was watching someone play the game today and they got really far in their like 3rd run or so, so im curious. cos the game sort of loads the dialogue for some characters according to which locations youve passed 
there's definitely unique lines for it
This game is awesome. Just beat the ||hydra snake, skeleton hybrid thing||
Am I the only one who feels tired after certain encounters?
Lol
Hades speed run starting soon on twitch (french event) Zevent
i was looking forward to EM3 fight against it
If you beat ||the champions|| thats all em3 does
Hey I found a little Hades visual bug but I'm not sure where to report it?
Pics?
Don’t you love it when your ||fighting hades|| and he just glitches the hell out
I had never noticed before but the music comes out of one speaker or the other, depending what side of Orpheus you're on
And thats so cool
||Was fighting him and when he shoots the lasers the invol break lasted 10sec||
||zag:hey dad you good?, hades: no son I’m tired and stupid I need water break||
At least for the songs that he sings
Anyone know how many bloods you need for unlocking all the upgrades for every aspect?
250ish?
Including ||hidden||
GUYS, the Ares boon that gives bonus damage if you death defiance, does it stack?
I'm literally one fight away from hades
It's called Blood Frenzy and I googled but can't find a good answer.
Probably not
well, if it doesn't stack, I think +22% damage is still worth it?
the other one is curse of vengence, if you take damage give enemy doom
doesn't seem good vs hades
Final boss is spoiler in here btw
I need to try EM4. Buut... not yet xDD
What wepon should I do a run with(pls don't pick sword or fist)
Okay
I died at Hydra since controller died
But I started run with gun and got hamer should I pick flurry fire or triple bomb ( I'm using aspect of eris
triple bomb
wired controller superiority 😛
You know what would be cool for a Hades expansion? Multiplayer, where P2 is just Thanatos
