thanks yack ill check it right away

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

real storm
#

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

cyan python

"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

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

oh shoot, hi crab

distant siren

zealous galleon
#

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

bright lance
#

@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

distant siren
#

ooooooooooooh, gotcha, a shame really, that cloak really works

#

she looks even more mysterious ❤️

austere jacinth
#

I adore her finished design though. Despite the lack of cool cloaks.

distant siren
#

ditto

#

i wonder if one day we get alt costue unlocks lol

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

So, as much as i love the base model for Zag, i feel like we should be able to change up his clothing/appearance to some degree. Could be simple reskins to complete overhauls. Would love to run around the underworld rocking some Hoplite inspired armor. Is this something we cou...

(or worst case scenario, extracted from older versions of the game)

distant siren
#

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||

distant siren
#

i really hope this game gets a sequel, so much awesome lore

runic temple
#

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.

What does the bag with a skull on it indicate?

Ok thanks

I always pick the one that looks like a strawberry

fully agreed :3

I just started so I don’t know what anything is yet

those straeberries are pos of power :3

#

@runic temple yeah CoD sucks big time. Agreed.

#

it was my last duo boon to hunt down and I was so let down...

austere jacinth
#

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. ❤️

zealous galleon
#

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

flat vapor
#

next game is a dating sim

zealous galleon
#

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

flat vapor
#

sgg dating sim we want it

distant siren
#

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 ._.)

zealous galleon
#

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

distant siren
#

yeah did not even know that was a feature till two days ago lol

zealous galleon
#

@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

flat vapor
#

sgg could've very well been just "the Bastion developers" and i don't think sgg would be as big as they are now

zealous galleon
#

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

tepid plover
#

Anyone seen vo1di? shadegrief

zealous galleon
#

last message from them was like 3 hours ago

tepid plover
zealous galleon
#

ugh I just hate it when a good game or movie or book ends

tepid plover
#

Are you referring to hades?

distant siren
#

even ore when the lore is so detailed D:

zealous galleon
#

in this case Hades yes

#

yeah

flat vapor
#

speaking of sgg, i've been meaning to watch that hour long analysis of their games for a bit now...

tepid plover
#

Cause hades never ends bouldy

zealous galleon
#

hades can't really "end"-- yeah

runic temple
#

@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.

austere jacinth
#

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.

zealous galleon
#

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

austere jacinth
#

... I'd also be happy to see less Lore Olympus on related tags. >.> xDDD

zealous galleon
#

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

dusty path
#

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

zealous galleon
#

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

dusty path
#

Why not?

#

It’s pretty new right? I would think some DLC is coming eventually

zealous galleon
#

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

flat vapor
#

can't discount the possibility though, this is the first early access game they've done as well

zealous galleon
#

True

dusty path
#

Would you say that Hades is more popular than their previous games?

zealous galleon
#

Definitely

#

and I hope that convinces them to do content updates and hopefully a sequel

robust sundial
#

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.

dusty path
#

Then maybe that lends itself to DLC being more likely

zealous galleon
#

i really hope so

dusty path
#

Here’s hoping

#

It’s a great game so far

#

I’m very new

zealous galleon
#

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

dusty path
#

Just recently got past the first boss, the female boss that does that twirl attack

shell ice
#

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

zealous galleon
#

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

tepid plover
#

I enjoy pretty much all roguelikes, and this one was like the perfect catch for me

zealous galleon
#

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

dusty path
#

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”

zealous galleon
#

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

dusty path
#

I dropped 465 hours on my main Dead Cells save. Lol

#

It’s my favorite game of all time

zealous galleon
#

They somehow integrated a very fun and intricate story into a roguelike game

dusty path
#

Surpassed Bloodborne

#

For me

zealous galleon
#

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

dusty path
#

Yeah Im enjoying the Hades storyline so far

austere jacinth
#

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~

zealous galleon
#

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!

dusty path
#

I don’t normally keep track of that either, Dead Cells was just that special for me

zealous galleon
#

that's fair

dusty path
#

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

zealous galleon
#

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

austere jacinth
#

I don't know if Hades is my fave of all time (it's up there, for sure), but it's definitely my GOTY

dusty path
#

Nice

brisk trail
#

hello just saying but I would buy any dlc day one devs

zealous galleon
#

yeah I'm in that exact same situation @austere jacinth

long field
#

It's definitely among my favorite games

#

I love all the characters, so much

dusty path
#

This game seems ripe for DLC, hopefully they feel the same

zealous galleon
#

I tried Bastion and Transistor and I couldn't really get into them, but Hades is amazing

flat vapor
#

greg is the main writer for SGG!

dusty path
#

Voice acting is surprisingly strong

long field
#

Up to the point where it can even get stressful to try and remember every little thing everyone said!

zealous galleon
#

ah thanks Onyx

long field
#

Also yeah, Voice acting is really good y'all

#

Surprising how consistent it is in quality

zealous galleon
#

Yeah same here

#

Meg's voice is straight up ASMR

long field
#

I will never repeat the things I shouted when she asked "Do you like my Whip?"

zealous galleon
#

lmao

dusty path
#

😂

long field
#

I need to give her more nectar, but I am focusing on others right now

#

Such as Thanatos, god I love him

dusty path
#

Explain nectar

#

If you will

zealous galleon
#

Thanatos is kind of a meh character to me actually, I can't really figure out what his deal is

distant siren
#

booze you can get to iprove friendships.

long field
#

There is a lot about him

dusty path
#

I didn’t even know there was a friendship mechanic

bright lance
#

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!

distant siren
#

dude than rules, and his voice ❤️

zealous galleon
#

dating* 😩

long field
#

Though I can never sum up these characters in a single sentence

#

They are quite complex

zealous galleon
#

it's good that we can't easily sum up these characters

long field
#

Though I can sum up Charon

#

He's "Spooky Boat BF"

distant siren
#

yeah, if you go into the codex and look at their profile you will see grey hearts

zealous galleon
#

I definitely think there are some characters who are more complex and detailed than others but in general they're all pretty complex

austere jacinth
#

I want to know more about Hermes and Charon's working relationship gdi.

flat vapor
#

correction, he's Hermes' Spooky Boat BF 😛

long field
#

Yep!

dusty path
#

@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 😂

bright lance
#

dang nice! I went up to 3 boss cells and quit after that

zealous galleon
#

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

tepid plover
#

Charon is hermes in a Halloween costume

long field
#

Also I recently maxed up Chaos's friendship

#

Though I haven't been able to give them Ambrosia

dusty path
#

@zealous galleon good ole Filip Miucin. 😂

bright lance
#

I'm still trying to get my first companion item from Meg and Bouldy lol

zealous galleon
#

YEAH THAT WAS IT

#

that situation

#

was so weird

dusty path
#

That was an epic meltdown

long field
#

Oh how foolish of me, I forgot Chaos goes by They/Them for a sec

zealous galleon
#

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?

dusty path
#

He recently posted a new review of Dead Cells that is supposedly his own opinion. Lol

distant siren
#

i love chaos theme, i will sit in that chamber for a min just to hear it

zealous galleon
#

took him a bit

long field
#

I discovered it from people chattering it up, talking about how great it is

dusty path
#

@zealous galleon I found it searching for Dead Cells like games

long field
#

Also yeah, I love the aesthetic of the area Chaos is in with the music

austere jacinth
#

Ha, yes and no. Casual fan. I actually first saw anything Hades-related on a Homestuck channel, comparing Zag to a character in that.

zealous galleon
#

I actually discovered it from a youtube stream

#

I think it was a stream by Alanah Pearce I'm not sure

distant siren
#

i happened upon it when one of my fave streamers raided a stream with hades playing lol

dusty path
#

Veedot me also made me want to play

high island
#

I've been following everything they do since Bastion. banne squirtnya

long field
#

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

zealous galleon
#

MGRR?

long field
#

Metal Gear Rising Revengance

raw lantern
#

i dont like dead cells the grind felt too repetitive

zealous galleon
#

ah

flat vapor
#

i first saw it when they first revealed it during the 2018 game awards, i believe

#

immediately went to download EGS to buy it 😛

long field
#

Planning to finish MGRR over this weekend, played it for the first time a few hours ago

zealous galleon
#

I got it on Steam a while ago

long field
#

Anyways back to HADES

zealous galleon
#

Hades I mean

dusty path
#

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

distant siren
#

not gonna lie i did not even hear of hades till day of release, it just suddenly appeared to me

zealous galleon
#

I'm surprised how well the devs are running the social media

long field
#

I love the HADES community, just a bunch of chill people simping over men and women

zealous galleon
#

they run instagram and twitter, but also the subreddit

#

the discord has some mods but still

dusty path
#

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

distant siren
#

not even steam did its job and alert me like it should have because of the roguelikes i already own lol

zealous galleon
#

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

brisk trail
#

I love the HADES community, just a bunch of chill people simping over men and women
everyone does seem to have their simp character

long field
#

I love Charon

zealous galleon
#

you are my simp character, Artemis

dusty path
#

Lol

brisk trail
#

oh no

long field
#

He was the first I gave Ambrosia to

zealous galleon
#

oh wait

#

artemis rejected me so hard yesterday

long field
#

I also love Artemis, but I don't take her boons that much anymore, thanks to me deciding to experiment and do fun things

distant siren
#

i personally love aphro, so alluring @_@

zealous galleon
#

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

long field
#

Also Artemis already has a Girlfriend, you should know this from the way she spoke of Castillo

zealous galleon
#

which is just

#

okay

#

yeah

#

i just

#

noticed

#

😔

dusty path
#

😂

distant siren
#

xD

long field
#

She comes around when you give her the max amount of Nectar though

zealous galleon
#

i don't mind

long field
#

Tells Zag sweet things about Castillo

tepid plover
#

Callisto is just artemis' simp

zealous galleon
#

in greek mythology, ||her gf turns into a bear and just straight up dies||

#

so

brisk trail
#

also aphrodite is literally just "wow look at me I'm so alluring and naked ❤️"

zealous galleon
#

lmao

long field
#

But here, she talks about the fact she is able to turn into a bear

zealous galleon
#

Most gods >>> aphrodite

distant siren
#

gee thx guys lol.

long field
#

She even eludes to hugging her when she is a bear

#

Quite cute

zealous galleon
#

oh

#

i really can't win with her huh

#

I guess I have to go back to being a stupid meg simp

distant siren
#

everyone talking sack about y waifu lol

#

this broken key is driving e batty UGH

brisk trail
#

ah right

#

okay

#

your waifu is bad

long field
#

I also have been giving Dionysus nectar when I can

#

I like him

#

He is a big drunk baby man

#

This guy is great

distant siren
#

😛

brisk trail
#

I'm probably in character as artemis right now

austere jacinth
#

I love all of the characters... Even Theseus xD

zealous galleon
#

dionysus is so cool

long field
#

I liked it when Artemis said "Oh no, it's HER" when Aphrodite appeared

#

That was kinda funny

distant siren
#

dio is awesoeeeee, his convos are so fun, even more the duo ones

long field
#

He is such a cool funky dude

#

I stan the God of Wine

limpid solstice
#

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.

distant siren
#

you'd think with how the gods talk smack about each other in the open a fight would break out lol

long field
#

If it doesn't win GOTY at the Game Awards, then it will just be my GOTY

tepid plover
#

I also have been giving Dionysus nectar when I can
Thanks kind shade

austere jacinth
#

Cyberpunk will probably ride the hype to GOTY. Unless it's delayed again. Hades deserves it so far, imo.

long field
#

Also, you know about the Shade that is Zagreus's fan?

#

I like them, it's cute

tepid plover
#

Yes

long field
#

The little banner that goes over the others

#

I love it

distant siren
#

i go up to that shade every. single. time lol

long field
#

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

austere jacinth
#

My last run Theseus was getting insecure about his relationship with Asterius. Blaming Zag for it, obviously.

long field
#

Last run, Zag asked Asterius "Why are you with him?"

#

Asterius gave a nice thoughtful answer

#

As he does

zealous galleon
long field
#

And Zag asked Asterius to speak for himself, but Theseus cut in shouting about how he is going to penetrate Zag

distant siren
#

shots fired

long field
#

It was funny

#

And ew gross, Wojacks

zealous galleon
#

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

long field
#

Why would he? They best friends

austere jacinth
#

It's sweet. Theseus doesn't take him for granted or anything.

zealous galleon
#

Theseus is toxic as hell imo

austere jacinth
#

Theseus saved him.

long field
#

Enemies in Life, practically brothers in Death

#

And Theseus shouts about how proud he is of Asterius!

zealous galleon
#

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

long field
#

He's a big dumb idiot who I hated at first, but now he is my little big stupid head

zealous galleon
#

oh yeah i love him too lmao he's written pretty great

#

but he's not really supposed to be a great person

austere jacinth
#

Not at all. But he's a good friend to Asterius.

zealous galleon
#

Asterius definitely is a good friend to Theseus, I'm not sure if it works the other way around too

long field
#

Anyways, Poseidon!

#

I like him

#

He is like the big stupid wholesome surfer uncle

tepid plover
#

They both bros in the afterlife yes

long field
#

Who doesn't understand most basic things

austere jacinth
#

Theseus is a good bro to Asterius. He's a jerk to Zag, but not to Asterius.

zealous galleon
#

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

long field
#

I love Zag's banter with Theseus

#

He just sound so done

#

"Can I fight some other Hero, like Heracles or something?"

zealous galleon
#

I love how Zag sometimes boasts after having defeated Theseus and Asterius

austere jacinth
#

Poseidon tries real hard to be the 'cool uncle'. He is a little flatter than most characters though.

zealous galleon
#

yeah

long field
#

He is the best though, really chill guy

zealous galleon
#

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

long field
#

Zeus is like "I am the highest ruler of the heavens" and everyone just calls him out on it

zealous galleon
#

yeah

long field
#

I love it

zealous galleon
#

Dionysus and Poseidon are the most wholesome but they also have their dark sides

austere jacinth
#

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

zealous galleon
#

yeah

long field
#

Demeter is so bitter and cold in this game

austere jacinth
#

Well, all the gods have their 'dark sides', but thankfully they're a lot less dark than the OG myths.

long field
#

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..."

austere jacinth
#

Demeter's whole life seems to have been defined by loss. She has reason to be the way she is.

zealous galleon
#

I don't think Poseidon has much of a dark side, but I did notice something

balmy ginkgo
#

rail feels so damn weak

zealous galleon
#

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

long field
#

She did do nothing but give as she was asked to, and had suffered from quite some losses

austere jacinth
#

Mythical Poseidon DEFINITELY does. But this Poseidon is trying very hard to be the punning 'cool uncle'. He's also Theseus's dad xDD

long field
#

Makes sense why she would end up so bitter

zealous galleon
#

Poseidon also acknowledges that he's kind of to blame for the Minotaur

long field
#

He also has a line pretending that Theseus isn't his son

zealous galleon
#

damn

long field
#

"Zeus has even taking to calling that Theseus my son, can you believe that Zagreus!?" -Poseidon

zealous galleon
#

to be fair, the game has played fast and loose with mythology like that

#

for example, the dionysus zagreus thing

austere jacinth
#

Theseus vs. Zagreus is very much 'My dad could beat up your dad' to me though.

zealous galleon
#

it really is

long field
#

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

zealous galleon
#

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

long field
#

If you want something dedicated to Original Greek Myth, just read the Myths then

zealous galleon
#

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

long field
#

Though OG Kratos was kinda misogynistic, so yeah...

austere jacinth
#

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.

zealous galleon
#

Hades' adaptation of greek myth > GoW's

long field
#

I am glad that HADES has such a vibrant cast

#

With LGBT characters portrayed in a beautiful positive light

zealous galleon
#

vibrant describes the game overall perfectly tbh

#

this game has such an unique tone/vibe/feeling to it

#

i love it

long field
#

I love my Bisexual Prince

zealous galleon
#

basically all characters in this game are bi/pan and I love it

austere jacinth
#

It's lovely. And yeah, canon bi main character - not just a 'make your own' type either.

long field
#

Artemis is a lesbian though, and Achilles and Patroclus are a Gay Couple

#

So not really Bi in that department

zealous galleon
#

i read on reddit that there is a line in the game that implies artemis is bi

austere jacinth
#

Achilles is bi I think

#

Just totally in love with Pat.

zealous galleon
#

Pat is awesome, poor guy

long field
#

Artemis shows signs that she has no interest in men

#

She literally explicitly states she doesn't like men

zealous galleon
#

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

long field
#

Ehhhhhhh

austere jacinth
#

She seems coded as gay to me. At least so far. But I haven't got that boon.

long field
#

I don't think so

zealous galleon
#

she does give off lesbian vibes tho

long field
#

Yes, definitely

zealous galleon
#

achilles gives off bi vibes to me so like idk

long field
#

He gives off Gay Vibes

#

To me anyways

flat vapor
#

i interpret artemis as aroace tbh

long field
#

She has Castillo, definetly not Aromantic

zealous galleon
#

what's aroace?

austere jacinth
#

Aromantic asexual.

long field
#

Though a Character that definitely is AroAce is Athena

#

Athena is 100% Ace

austere jacinth
#

I hate Athena in most myths... but I love SSG's version. And yeah, probably ace.

zealous galleon
#

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

long field
#

She has as big of a role as all other gods

zealous galleon
#

because she doesn't really do much outside of being your initial contact point with Olympus

long field
#

I need to talk with her more, maybe give her a bit of Nectar

#

Her Dash Boon is the best

robust sundial
#

@long field it's Callisto. Castillo means castle in spanish.

zealous galleon
#

Gods like Zeus, Demeter and even Hermes have way bigger roles than other characters like Athena

barren ocean
#

I mean none of them really do anything aside from just talk to you?

long field
#

Sorry

robust sundial
#

np, just pointing names and naming fingers

austere jacinth
#

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.

zealous galleon
#

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

austere jacinth
#

Maybe Hermes knows more though.

zealous galleon
#

Hermes is weird

long field
#

Nyx has been offering you aid the entire time

barren ocean
#

depends how you define important

austere jacinth
#

Hermes is awesome.

barren ocean
#

@brisk trail it does save

long field
#

The Mirror that you upgrade from is run by Nyx

barren ocean
#

to recover your file

tepid plover
#

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

long field
#

She is the reason you can upgrade with Darkness in the first place

tepid plover
#

Just gotta do some tweaking

zealous galleon
#

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

austere jacinth
#

||Hermes is working with you without the other Olympians knowing. He was brought in through Charon, not by Nyx directly. Love him.||

long field
#

I love Charon even more now

#

I just love Charon

zealous galleon
#

||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||

tepid plover
#

Afaik, no one knows hermes is helping you

#

Just charon

zealous galleon
#

Zeus does

tepid plover
#

What exactly did he say

austere jacinth
#

||They know eventually. I think Athena likely works it out. Hermes always wants you to keep shush though xD||

barren ocean
#

Zeus is sorta in on everything causes hes a disaster

zealous galleon
#

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

barren ocean
#

well tbh theyre all disasters

#

theyre the greeks lmfao

zealous galleon
#

this is a mechanic in the game as you probably already know, gods acknowledge that other gods have given you boons

tepid plover
#

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

long field
#

There are so many lines in this game, how deep does it even go!?

tepid plover
#

Deeeep

zealous galleon
#

well tbh theyre all disasters
@barren ocean true but Zeus is like THE disaster

austere jacinth
#

I do like that they kept the psychopomp aspect of Hermes. So many adaptations just make him this minor messenger character.

void vigil
#

please keep it clean!

zealous galleon
#

sorry 😔

long field
#

This has to be one of the most impressive games I have seen in the department of different lines and dialogue

barren ocean
#

I think the greek gods invented disaster lmao

long field
#

There is so much, and it is all fully voiced!

zealous galleon
#

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

barren ocean
#

Good luck Pete

zealous galleon
#

good luck!

long field
#

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

zealous galleon
#

you'll finish a run soon

austere jacinth
#

I know that there are some lines that only trigger in a certain order. Like romancing one character before another

barren ocean
#

I believe Mossy!!!!

long field
#

I died to final boss on my last run

austere jacinth
#

T.T

barren ocean
#

it happens, but hey you got there 😄

long field
#

Don't remember how to fight properly, with dodging and all

austere jacinth
#

I still haven't beaten the secret boss. I feel bad even triggering it xDD

barren ocean
#

I think i died to final boss like 5 times before winning

long field
#

And the Final Boss in this game is phenomenal, but super tough

barren ocean
#

Secret boss is pretty hard if you dont know the moveset

long field
#

Arena is gorgeous

zealous galleon
#

i actually only died to the final boss twice before defeating them, but I was stuck on the asphodel boss for AGES

barren ocean
#

Poor Lernie

long field
#

"That Blasted Hydra..."

zealous galleon
#

Lernie was just impossible for me

#

I still find Asterius and Theseus the hardest bosses in the game

long field
#

Also it took me while before I realized the nickname for that Hydra is Lernie

austere jacinth
#

The secret boss beats them for me.

zealous galleon
#

you only get the nickname after a certain line is said when you encounter the boss

long field
#

Asterius and Theseus are difficult, but if you just pay attention to dodging and telegraphs, you should be fine

barren ocean
#

I actually find Asterius and Thesus to be easy now

zealous galleon
#

i find the furies easy as hell

long field
#

^ Same with me somewhat

zealous galleon
#

but the others I have trouble with

barren ocean
#

If im doing no heat, i can manage to get the Plume benefit off

vestal cargo
#

it's why Greek Gods are so cool really

#

cuz they're just people

barren ocean
#

Lol rip mossy

vestal cargo
#

all powerful and all, but absolutely morally corrupt at times

austere jacinth
#

Really messed up people - like most gods though.

long field
#

Ok, rather Overconfident

vestal cargo
#

I mean, most are, but most aren't so open about it

zealous galleon
#

Where do you guys get your roles btw? I want the Hades role

barren ocean
#

did you say something that was a synonym but bad? XD

long field
#

I tend to get rather Overconfident with the furies

barren ocean
#

ahhh

long field
#

That tends to get me hurt a lot

barren ocean
#

same tbh

#

I find alecto gets me the worst

austere jacinth
#

I hate Alecto's blades.

void vigil
#

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

zealous galleon

alecto really is the hardest, yeah

well then

zealous galleon

i understand what you typed before now

austere jacinth

That seems excessive.

barren ocean

its a bot

long field

It's fine

barren ocean

its probably just looking for keywords

long field

Don't worry about it

#

It's kinda entertaining actually

austere jacinth
#

There's a pokemon you can't rename on account of something like that.

barren ocean
#

its hilarious

zealous galleon

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

#

i have an idea

Stop taunting the bot xDD

long field

@zealous galleon

zealous galleon
#

oh

#

that works

long field
#

It didn't work

zealous galleon
#

it works in the way that that's how you can bypass the bot

#

not that I want to of course uhmm

nimble ocean
#

when i was younger, similar bot was installed in certain online game

#

but instead of deleting it banned for 24 hours

zealous galleon
#

fixed the username

#

oh

#

that's uh even more excessive

nimble ocean
#

people were interested why they were banned

long field
#

Giving Thanatos enough Nectar actually makes Zagreus's and Thanatos's relationship a bit more serious you know

nimble ocean
#

and learned many new interesting words

long field
#

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

And Hades, I suppose.

It's the reason why people like bosses so much

Dying can be frustrating sometimes, I feel you

Also yeah, I have never gotten heated with a death 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.

I want something like dual simitars as a weapon or maybe that one suit wearing zangreus on redit

balmy ginkgo
#

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

brisk trail
#

it doesn't sadly

stable meadow
#

I love ping ponging enemies with posiden barrier damage

austere jacinth
#

Ha, yes, his dash is so fun.

stable meadow
#

I just killed 3 chariots in less then 5 seconds using dash only

austere jacinth
#

Chariots don't run so well in the sea >D

thorny cairn
#

Hell yeah

austere jacinth
#

I don't think I need a new weapon. I mean, I wouldn't say no, but I want other things more. xDD

thorny cairn
#

Pos and Athena dash are bae

brisk trail
#

Do you guys always pick weapon based on darker thirst, or whichever you want at the time?

austere jacinth
#

Thirst

stable meadow
#

What ever I'm feeling

thorny cairn
#

Personally I do thirst so I can have a more even spread

#

But there’s no wrong way to play!

stable meadow
#

I have done like 80runs at this point in total

austere jacinth
#

Thirst keeps me playing all of them rather than sticking with one, and I like that.

brisk trail
#

I almost never use Poseidon dash and forgot what it looked like. Most of the time went for Ares, Athena, Zeus or Dio

strange crag
#

thirst has only wanted me using the shield, gun, and fists lately and I just wanna use the spear haha

thorny cairn
#

Nice sol! How many wins?

stable meadow
#

1 win

#

Almost have had like 10

thorny cairn
#

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

stable meadow
#

With sword being half or more of the runs I should have one

thorny cairn
#

Sword was the hardest for me

brisk trail
#

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

stable meadow
#

Fist I have lost 30 or more runs trying to get hiden aspect

thorny cairn
#

What dyou mean, sol?

raven lava
#

you have to ||get Asterius to comment on the fists, it includes a line about how "you're fighting bare-handed"||

austere jacinth
#

I think I've won most with the fists.

thorny cairn
#

Oh trying to get to him I feel

#

Bear claws best claws

stable meadow
#

Yeah I did like 5 runs ago but still I need more of the godlly cool aod

stuck sundial
#

what is the best spear aspect?

raven lava
#

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||

thorny cairn
#

Personally Achilles is my fave spear but I like em all except the hidden one

austere jacinth
#

My fave is Achilles, but 90% of that is because I love Achilles and he's my mentor. xDD

zealous galleon
#

and of course

thorny cairn
#

He’s bae if only he wasn’t in love with someone else 😦

stable meadow
#

I didn't get bull bro mini boss fight for 30 runs mostly because of my stupidity

zealous galleon
#

at the final map

#

charon's shop

#

has zeus and artemis boons

#

of course

brisk trail
#

@stuck sundial IMO, ||Aspect of Hades|| spear

thorny cairn
#

Why is that bad Vul?

raven lava
#

ngl i like artemis boons

austere jacinth
#

He and Pat are ❤️

stable meadow
#

What why that aspect

zealous galleon
#

i've mostly been getting zeus and especially artemis this entire run lmao

#

this would be my fifth artemis boon

raven lava
#

support fire go brrrrr

thorny cairn
#

Super sweet is great

zealous galleon
#

i haven't gotten ares once and i actually really wanted him

austere jacinth
#

Support Fire ❤️

thorny cairn
#

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?

brisk trail
#

Support Fire besttt

#

Seeking Fire + Support Fire = haha ammos go brrrr

stable meadow
#

I prefer burst lighting

#

And maybe I will do that soon

thorny cairn
#

Yesss

zealous galleon
#

shield

#

i can't play with anything else lmao

#

what weapons do you guys use the most?

austere jacinth
#

Whatever the thirst tells me.

raven lava
#

i'm good with all the weapons but gun

#

still can't clear final boss with gun

thorny cairn
#

Same!

austere jacinth
#

Like I said, I've won most with the fists though xD

stable meadow
#

Same except add fist

thorny cairn
#

Shield and spear baes

brisk trail
#

what weapons do you guys use the most?
@zealous galleon Sword > Shield > Bow > Fists > Spear > Rail

raven lava
#

i run talos fists personally

tepid plover
#

I play with whatever has the thirst and rotate aspects

raven lava
#

magnetic cutter makes up for the extreme melee aspects

tepid plover
#

No summoning gods

#

Pure rng

stable meadow
#

What are the Talos fists again

brisk trail
#

Talos is great

raven lava
#

especially in asphodel when your build isn't fully together

#

and the floor is lava

tepid plover
#

Talos is the get over here fist

stable meadow
#

Also why do people like hidden aspect fist

austere jacinth
#

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.

tepid plover
#

Cause is fun?

brisk trail
#

Is it fun? I only tried it once and went back to Talos

stable meadow
#

I thought people said it was insanely good

raven lava
#

the problem with hidden fist is it changes the dash-upper

#

which is really weird

tepid plover
#

I think all weapons are insanely good

#

I never found the dash upper to be a problem

austere jacinth
#

I haven't tried it yet, but I love... what it's based on, so I will probably make it work ^^

stable meadow
#

I feel like aspect of zangreus should be press button when hit to dodge and increases upper cut damage by 200%

raven lava
#

that seems like the kind of change that would be another aspect

austere jacinth
#

Or at least a hammer

stable meadow
#

Or maybe just add the daodge increases uppercut

raven lava
#

zagreus aspects tend to boost stats

stable meadow
#

You are probably right

#

They all just feel bland to me in general the zagrues aspects except for fist feel like a waste

austere jacinth
#

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.

stable meadow
#

So he permanently makes the wepons stronger

brisk trail
#

I never use base aspects anymore lol

stable meadow
#

So how's the weather

austere jacinth
#

Chilly, normal. Fine, really. Demeter hasn't frozen everything over yet~

crisp zodiac
#

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.

austere jacinth
#

Run eating bug?

tepid plover
#

I freaking love zag bow

#

As soon as you enter the house, it should save

austere jacinth
#

I read that as 'I freaking love Zag btw'. I agree with both statements though xD

tepid plover
#

Same

austere jacinth
#

He's a really refreshing protagonist. Genuinely polite and respectful towards those who help him.

stable meadow
#

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

tepid plover
#

Nice

stable meadow
#

Also have you played slay the spire

austere jacinth
#

I'll switch to hell mode once I've done everything I can do in my current save xD

barren ocean
#

Than really out here messing up my PB

stable meadow
#

I really like out there builds like extremely specific builds that are hard to find but are really cool

thorny cairn
#

Like call builds?

austere jacinth
#

PB?

stable meadow
#

Yes exactly like call builds

#

Or like cast tower defense builds or just tower defense gun

barren ocean
#

personal best

stable meadow
#

Specifically having the lighting rod duo boon

barren ocean
#

time wise

#

Lightning rod is amazing

stable meadow
#

Yeah

barren ocean
#

My personal fav is exit wounds + lightning rod + Aspect of Posiedon

stable meadow
#

I like deflect builds

#

Specifically the area of affect ones

woven cipher
#

is there a visual indicator for how "far" is distant memory's damage bonus?

#

and does it increase damage for things like chain lightning?

stable meadow
#

Huh

#

Good question

austere jacinth
#

Support Fire ❤️

thorny cairn
#

You can test with regular casting on skelly > is there a visual indicator for how "far" is distant memory's damage bonus?
@woven cipher

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

stable meadow
#

Yeah that would be great

#

Best way to play game posiden pong

woven cipher
#

if you change enemy on lucifer, do you reset the ramp up damage?

austere jacinth
#

I'd assume so.

crisp zodiac
#

Yes, and that's a spoiler.

wooden quartz
#

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

void vigil

#

there's a nexus page too

#

#

of course my first EM3 attempt is going to be the attempt that it lets me skip ||Hades|| lmao

#

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

abstract drum
#

same lmao

#

had a really good stack of stuff for my spear

silk forge
#

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 thonk

oblique minnow
#

there's definitely unique lines for it

dusty path
#

This game is awesome. Just beat the ||hydra snake, skeleton hybrid thing||

#

Am I the only one who feels tired after certain encounters?

#

Lol

upbeat idol
#

Hades speed run starting soon on twitch (french event) Zevent

tepid plover
#

i was looking forward to EM3 fight against it
If you beat ||the champions|| thats all em3 does

sterile token
#

Hey I found a little Hades visual bug but I'm not sure where to report it?

thorny cairn
#

Pics?

brisk trail
#

Don’t you love it when your ||fighting hades|| and he just glitches the hell out

strong furnace
#

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

brisk trail
#

||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||

strong furnace
#

At least for the songs that he sings

thorny cairn
#

Anyone know how many bloods you need for unlocking all the upgrades for every aspect?

#

250ish?

brisk trail
#

Including ||hidden||

plucky rampart
#

GUYS, the Ares boon that gives bonus damage if you death defiance, does it stack?

#

I'm literally one fight away from hades

mossy grove
#

Maxing them out or just unlocking them

#

Unknown by me

plucky rampart
#

It's called Blood Frenzy and I googled but can't find a good answer.

mossy grove
#

Probably not

plucky rampart
#

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

mossy grove
#

Final boss is spoiler in here btw

austere jacinth
#

I need to try EM4. Buut... not yet xDD

stable meadow
#

What wepon should I do a run with(pls don't pick sword or fist)

mossy grove
#

You just make me want to choose sword or fists

#

So spear

stable meadow
#

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

south lava
#

triple bomb

deft cedar
#

wired controller superiority 😛

abstract drum
#

You know what would be cool for a Hades expansion? Multiplayer, where P2 is just Thanatos

tepid plover
#

Uh

#

Idk if i would like multiplayer tbh

Itd break the gamd
