Pyre is literally built for multiplayer and they said they have no plans on bringing it
So I doubt
Hades will get it
fair
If one of their games is getting multiplayer, it'll be pyre
Once pyre gets it, you can get your hopes up
Is Hades a multiplayer game, or are there any plans for multiplayer?
Hades is a single-player game. We have no plans to add multiplayer, as we created the gameplay and narrative of Hades with a solo experience in mind.
from the #hades-faq
so no, don't get your hopes up
Yup
However, if you get Dio boon while using Hera bow, DO get your hoped up

is the PC/switch cross save live yet? just got another patch on steam but don't see notes
kk
you'll likely see an announcement made when cross-saves go live
(by usually either Greg or Amir)
But yeah honestly I think Dio cast is probably one of my favs on Hera bow
Just stupid damage lol
Remind me, which gods / things can give additional casts? ||Chaos?||
I think just them, but idk for sure
prometheus stones from wells, and artemis legendary boon
The one you mentioned can too
Awesome thanks
Like what?
Do the 'No hit challenge rooms' have extra special enemies in them that only exist in the challenge rooms?
I swear I just got a Greatbow that fires lik 8x in a row and a Witch that shoots different bullet patterns and has much more Armor
It’s like 2 am and my brain decided to not let me sleep before i have am answer to this question
what happens to all the capes (i don’t know if they are actually capes) hades throws off, does nothing happen to them, do they come back, does he have a full cape import thingy or does he have just a room filled with capes
What does giving ||Ambrosia|| to ||Charon|| give you?
Nothing
I have over 10k kill and|| can't get the war god's bloodlust propecies, what am I missing? ||
@brazen stone It completes his thing thats it
Thats what I've heard
Do the 'No hit challenge rooms' have extra special enemies in them that only exist in the challenge rooms?
@rain cedar not exactly, but they can spawn the enemies from later parts of the game, ||including final boss-exclusive types||
Would it potentially be possible to write a program which changes computer RGB colors based on which region you're in? So green for tartarus, red for asphodel, mint for elysium, etc.
It could be possible - Terraria makes your keyboard chage based on biome and weather
Like what?
@deep geyser he has a boon that increase your cast dmg to enemies without cast in them
Also one that you can hold right click to shoot it like a machinegun
Hm
I just found out what the hidden shield aspect is actually based off of
Wonder how that works with certain things
ok, taking some qualitative data here
if one were to potentially create a twitch integration mod for Hades, what things would you be interested in seeing viewers control? what things should a viewer's name be applied to?
Definitely any 3-picks for a choice
Maybe spawning enemies? And they could make them shielded and give them buffs
oh, and that random user may be able to control the patterns of the boss?
like, decide when they drop a stone man, or shoot waves/pelletes
Eh, that might be a bit much
Maybe force an attack once in a while. I don't think most twitch mods give total control to viewers
some simple things would be healing enemies, armor to enemies, healing player, giving resources like gems and darkness?
Or calling in buffs or random calls?
that too!
good idea
as fun as it is to torture the streamer, giving positives is lovely too
Would be pretty funny if ||PoP|| options were to be tweaked mid-run as well, but that probably is too much
And yeah giving some love to streamer is a good tone
an idea i had which would require waiting until new assets can be imported was a new boon type you can switch on that gives boons with a positive and negative, and viewers can control per room whether to activate the negative or positive and how much via a good/bad vote
Could even go as far as boons akin to bouldy's--- yeah or that
Out of random things, allowing people to transform the door rewards is also pretty tempting idea. Can end up on both spectrums of good/bad
You can do that one with one of the mirror powers, no?
Yes, fated authority
Speaking for the concept of twitch mod though
ok, taking some qualitative data here
if one were to potentially create a twitch integration mod for Hades, what things would you be interested in seeing viewers control? what things should a viewer's name be applied to?
The only things I can see working, itd be which room to enter and what boon to pick
random BP perk to give in the next room
which should a boon come from, what things should be given next, what fury/lernie head to give, what miniboss to give
Death Count 10.
I'm trying to beat hell mode on the first run. I've deleted the save file 10 times now. This is harder than I thought it'd be.
Lmao without any mirror talents it won’t be fun
All one life, 50 health + 5 heat yeeeooo
You practically have to spec into Merciful End on fresh file
And even then the journey is more akin to 30ish heat run
I've given dusa 10 ambrosia but wouldn't get her to trigger the final conversation or get the bond?
I haven't got her to trigger that final convo either... One day.
Do the darkness rewards when you run a completed run change with higher heat?
Like I just trying to farm some darkness rn
will it matter if I run on no heat vs heat 1 for the darkness from bosses
I don’t think so
sweet
What's everyone's max damage dealt? I'm curious to know if someone can beat my current one. :3
I thought I was having a good run
little did I know I had lost already by signing THREE EXTREME MEASURES
what the hell man
that fight is ridiculous
If i may suggest a tip, the usual fight most people go for Asterius first, but i find doing EM3 its easier to kill Theseus first
Thats just how i deal with it tho
Also is there a record for max damage kept somewhere?
I find Asterius easier even in EM. I do love that fight though.
you can force using keepsakes to get extras
Same here. I’ve only done EM3 once (ie: only fought once, happened to win), but Asterius seems like the better target to go after first, if only because Thesus just seems to cut off large portions of the arena. He never directly goes after you like Asterius does.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Dio best mang
Maybe they removed the max?
maybe
But also with Em3, i just run behind theseus and backstab him till he breaks
Then i do the same to Asterius
Tbh I’m not a fan of Poseidon either, but I’ll admit his stuff can be neat in the right circumstances. Hestia Rail + Poseidon Attack is way fun imo
That’s a thought too
for a darkness run
Aaaah. Fair ‘nuff
@barren ocean Don't know. I'll give my max damage: 129,600.
What
is that stacking or one go
Is that theoretical, or what do you have to support that?
No, it was the cleaver trap; I see the two stygian shards on the side there lol
Did you have any others?
Or was it just two shards?
Someone tried to convince me ||Guan Yu|| was trash earlier today and I'd say I'd see after my first run with it. I then proceeded to absolutely have my most powerful run and melt the Snake and Theseus in like a minute. Definitely not trash.
I mean, I don’t like how ||Guan Yu|| plays (or more specifically, how I tend to play it), but it is not trash
Ty ^_^
Ty for catchin’ me, whoops
👍
Oop my bad
Also I play all the weapons and they're all balanced, but you just have to use a different approach to all of them
^^
I tried to play it at first like Varatha with Zag aspect
that did not go well
lmao
Balance is incredibly well done :3
There have been outliers like chaos shield and charged flight 4th shield pre 1.0
But that's definitely not the norm
I thought the throw on ||Guan Yu|| was really good tho
||Guan Yu ||was the first time I lost a DD in Asphodel like ever in my winstreak and I lost two, but once I started rolling, I got extremely powerful. The lower health allows for a lot less mistakes so there's definitely a higher skill floor needed
the special on it is definitely one of its key parts
But it rewards you with a stronger moveset as a result
Yea the health penalty is real harsh
Tempted to get it to max before i try doing a run again
I just don’t like it’s charged attack and the mechanics on that, because ||Guan Yu’s healing|| feels really slow and weird, at least compared to the sword’s version
I did it on level one, although all my aspects are on level one lol
Question, in a run, what if I filled up on the boon slots? Can I get more or will get only give me the option to replace
Its definitely the type of weapon I would need to run a couple times to get used to
started using sword today for once
@mortal isle
seems fun
I just made the worst mistake in my 100+ runs
what do you mean boon slots?
I did the pure special Chiron build
Yeah, looking at the moveset at surface value I thought the focus should've been on the spin attack but I decided to try out special and the run went completely crazy after that
I see where this is going
did you Chaos special
And took chaos curse of -5hp per special
Yesssss. Someone else who appreciates Chiron
chiron is good
A great run totally ruined
Chrion is GREAT
Like when on the menu when it shows all the books you have
I just don't use bow
Normally there are diamonds that don’t have anything in them, but they are all filled now
I'm so greedy and dumb
Like when on the menu when it shows all the books you have
@mortal isle You never run out of boon space, but you can replace the primary 5 if thats what youre asking
Gotcha
Normally there are diamonds that don’t have anything in them, but they are all filled now
@mortal isle You get other boons to complement them that dont go in the main slots, but sometimes you do get offered replacements
Man it could've been so great, I'll remember this
oof I did only spear throw run earlier today
Spoiler tag what?
||Companions||
since those are endgame
||spoiler||
use the two | on each side to tag spoilers
for future ref
Wait, question, how endgame are ||companions||? I literally just got the true ending and still have never even heard of a ||companion|| lmao
sorry when i say "endgame" it just means everyhing after true ending
ish, you need to unlock the ||ambrosia hearts of certain people, after completing their favor||
it's entirely possible to get one before the credits
Tho really the rule is, spoiler tag everything after beating first clear
my fav so far is ||dusa||
Oh, well that didn't happen with me lmao
idk but it's just cute tbh-
Dusa is a sweetheart.
Dusa is an amazing gorgon head and i love her
So ||Ambrosia|| actually comes into play later on? I'm literally just sitting on 19 with no idea what to do with them
Ambrosia is for friendship hearts after locked hearts
Since they dont take nectar after that
||to bond with people and level up companions||
and that
dusa is my favorite character-
Oh yeah, far away from that. I wonder if reaching the ||true ending|| so fast is actually normal, I haven't even fully upgraded mirror yet, I normally end up doing 100% of everything in games by the time I get to a ||true ending|| but here I barely feel halfway lol
are bounties in normal mode or hell mode only?
normal as well
bounties are available in both
you're not missing content between normal or hell mode
ok good the nnill try hellll mode LATER.. lmao
I imagine I'll try Hell Mode whenever I do a second playthrough
Just realized that hades is the first supergiant game I haven't seen the soundtrack front and center in all discussions around the game. Hades has hit on all cylinders in so many departments that the music - THE MUSIC - isn't the first thing people are identifying the work with
And Darren korbs work is still on an unparalleled if not even higher level
They've just hit such a high mark in their craft that what used to be their definitive aspect for many is a component of the whole for the general public
That is frankly mind-blowing to think about
saw this one review of hades where he felt that the music was taking too much of the emotional burden for sgg's first 3 games and hades didn't feel that way, and while i wanted to rebuke him in the moment
i realize now that i kinda agree with him? especially since we have hades to compare to
hades is such a wonderfully crafted game in all aspects that everything now feels equal in mastery
i saw a similar (the same?) review, and had a similar reaction
personally, i don’t really have an issue with a game being reliant on music to achieve its emotional impact? like, music is cool
but yeah with hades it’s like, all masterful, and that’s even better

if i get two different favor boons from chaos do they combine?
yes
like "afterward, boons have x% chance to be rare or higher"
they combine just fine

I haven't reached the ending yet.
But I figure the game is gonna hamfist some fate/destiny on Zag so that it makes sense for him to try to reach his mother over and over again.
you will be surprised
So that we can continue to play the game after the scripted events with Persephone runs out.
correct
Ok, so I'm pretty sure my dusa bond is bugged. || I've maxed all 9 heart with her, max hearts with nyx, suicided 20+ times, and all this time she and nyx says generic lines at the house. I've freed Sisyphus, Achilles, orrpheus, if that matters. || Does anyone know how to fix this, or should I go to tech support channel?
But I've exhausted all her conversations, I would say 15 runs straight with no exclamation mark
you're looking for her in all the locations, yeah?
ok so does anyone else think it's kinda weird that ||zag will ask eurydice what persephone is like even after zag has brought persephone back to the underworld?||
yeah that happened for me too and I thought it was weird
Not sure if it was bug that lets the dialogue play, or if that was intentional writing
Is it possible to get more than one food from the feather duster keepsake per room? Really feels like you cannot
i think you can it’s just ‘cause the chance is fairly low
i think i've got two from one room before
Holy christ are chariots an absolute nightmare for swords because you have no ranged options
Cast or hit 'n run for me
Got a flurry run going that along with hermes speed boon means I hit them like 1000x in a second
That'll stun 'em good
Dont really like to always go for the same builds, youll be surprised by the crazy builds thatll somehow work and be amazing
I can't seem to roll the Chaos boon for Fiery Presence. I've tried 10 times. ='[
are you running fiery presence?
Yes. =]
There are prophecies and some have more to their bonds
You get a little icon / drawing next to their keepsake. 🤷
alright tqtq
FINALLY unlocked my first pet ffs
btw what aspect best for weapons?
They're all pretty good, depends on your playstyle and what clicks tbh
^
yep
Could tell you something is tiptop tier, but if it doesn't click, it really isn't lol
what are you trying to achieve?
Yeah I've been running the talent and rerolling the boons. Just super unluck. 😢
check the pins in #h1-story-discussion
at least for me I prefer Zag Fists and Hades Spear with Plume, but a lot of people have their own little niches
ahh ok thanks
railgun is my fave but my friend hates the railgun
Strange question maybe, but are there different probabilities for different Daedalus upgrades?
I've done ~25 runs with the shield and I still haven't seen Dashing Flight as an option
yes, some aspects of certain weapons don't have access to some daedalus upgrades
Guys, I really wish for the ending of beta to come back, like Hypnos always says, "Die from natural cause again?" The narrative after you defeat the final boss then just drop dead before meeting your goal is hilarious and should come back. Please make a heat or the like "You die just after reach the surface or something" . I maybe of the odd one here, but I really like the irony of the our guy still fail even after beat final boss.
good bye
I just finished the epilogue and they put discord mods in the credits LMAO
Yeah I've been sticking to Chaos/Zagreus because those are both compatible.
Aaaugh I'm romancing Than and have beat him 3 times so far but unable to gift him
When he's back in the house he's talking to someone else
And then disappears
Sad
guys i need help, the game started from the beginning after I spend hours in this game. I loss everything
do anyone know if i can recover my save
what is the best song in your guys opinion?
I like Charon's theme
Though there isn't really a best song to me, the entire soundtrack is Stellar
I haven't listened to all the songs
Does anyone know if there are detailed character models or images to help with cosplay?
Because Spoilers and such
In The Blood
I do not wish to be spoiled on the experience of listening to the songs first time Ingame
yes, I like all the songs of the ost
Good Riddance is also very good
I have listened to most though, due to me ALMOST getting to the end
But I never do succeed
Hymn to Zagreus is also good
that ones meh
Its hilarious
i just like it cause or orpheus voice
cause of how inaccurate it is
XD
I generally don't like 'favourite' type questions because what I enjoy most changes depending on mood, what I wanna listen to at the time etc etc.
^
i have killed a boss with dashes aaaand it was amazing
^ also a good point
That
didnt even touch my mouse
honestly, best song in the game imo is bloodless
Also i listened to Good Riddance for a whole week straight, after i heard it the first time
bloodless how do i get it?
So i have exhausted it
spotify
It's so pretty, isn't it?
the ost is in spotify
All of supergiants songs are under Darren Korb on spotify
including Bastion, Transistor and Pyre
@rose mauve you could take a look down paige's twitter, she's a 3d artist for sgg: https://twitter.com/artpaiges
also weak i have actually listend to the duck song for 3 hours straight for 2 weaks once
rip onyx
rip me
here's a banger tweet from her: https://twitter.com/artpaiges/status/1308868214336741377
:OOOO
I love how Skelly looks
im mad zag isnt there
she did... all of these
all loveable characters in that picture...and Theseus
its just the ones she modeled lmao
im mad zag isnt there
zag was done by a different 3d artist
^
Oh I can see Thanatos there
all loveable characters in that picture...and Theseus
take it back 🔫
never
I love Theseus
eolfhwieoaweihf
He said he was going to penetrate my soft and pallable flesh
I despise him
I love to hate theseus, so Theseus is loveable in a way 🙂
is summoned
LMAo
the models are so so nice
I have a love hate relationship with him that turned to mostly love
Wait, where is Charon there?
right in the middle
Oooooh
i love to hate theseus as well
Thanks
lmfao yeah charon is the spotlight
i just love theseus :V
he basicly I DONT CARE IF YOUR MY EMPLOYERS SON DIE FOWL BEAST
Because I do
XD
First guy I gave Nectar to
theseus lovers unite.... hard life loving the fandom gremlin everyone hates
thats his entire motavation
same Charon is wonderful :3
okay wait i actually have some wall of text picking him apart somewhere
Skelly
I love it that he loves getting beat
Nothing like dying over and over again, am I right?
aah so a masochist?
Yeah
skelly is getting payed :3
Nothing like dying over and over again, am I right?
zag feels the same way when you think about it
and there is mystery sack
Skelly would probably like something like Sekiro
zags doing it for free
whos the real masochist
||he has a job at the end and kills papa alot so aint papa one??||

unfortunately our names were not family friendly for this server and i had to edit them fksdjhgsdjkg but theseus thoughts https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/357344472880644118/767259730615599145/yeha.jpg
im sure we all feel the same way
Both Zag and Skelly are masochists. As for Theseus, to the audience and himself, he's the face. xD
HE IS A PUNCHING BAG
Aren't we all masochists?
i want a mod to make him a punchingbag
oh for sure, his perception is that hes the hero. but to the perspective of the player he's the heel
I still kinda like Theseus, he makes me laugh.
And he did fix things with Asterius.
you shouldnt. asterius would probably be offended lol
but he is waifu in my heart
Asterius loves fighting
and we should not hurt waifus XD
Asterius wants to fight as much as Theseus.
add romance option
Lmao ||knew my build was trash going into hades fight but I got the ending and skipped it||
to aestrius
He's too committed to Theseus, ducky xDD
Lmao ||knew my build was trash going into hades fight but I got the ending and skipped it||
mood lmao, happened to me
Asterius is realest dude down there
He's like I probably can't beat you, but I'll soften you up for whatever kills you eventually
Keeping it real since...
Dude is a treasure
(When was he alive?)
Asterius keeping it real since ever
Timelines are for mortals.
^
That said his slam can triple hit Zag under certain conditions and one shot you though...
I expect time works weird in the Underworld anyway.
hah today
||i felt so bad for papa||
i got him to second phase
half hp
without being hit once
then i took 4 hits to my acorn
and won
Good Job!
ayyyyy just got my first EM4 and H16 clear
NOICE
gotta love it when you're running Plume+ZagFists and get a legendary dodge boon from Hermes
walking into the last fight I had north of 60% dodge chance plus mirror's dodge thing for overkill
only died once the whole fight lmao, whiff city
say, is Assault some kind of hidden rare offering from Chaos?
I have Fiery Presence and it still won't show up at chaos shop
rng, most likely
dab on u
Is there any use for keys after unlocking all the upgrades and weapons besides respec?
does "buying nectar" count as a use
Well yeah, if there's no other use I was just gonna trade it all away
yeah trade them
We're currently running a series on the Early Access development of Supergiant Games' Hades. In this video, we take a break from interviewing and ask the development team the burning questions from our community at https://www.patreon.com/noclip
Check out our website: https:/...
The first question answered here makes me hopeful for a sequel or content DLC
This was also a year ago, so a lot of things can change within that year
True
you know im setting up my run heavily to favor getting one specific boon and wouldn't ya know. that boon stopped existing
RNG rests not in your favor
It's said in the video that they never really had a line in the sand when it comes to not doing DLC & sequels, though
Here is where I would put my Tempest Flourish. IF I HAD ONE
So I can't see that suddenly changing now seeing as how it's been true for all their games so far
Also what's Tempest Flourish again?
special does knockback
Ah
i have TWO boons specifically that increase knockback damage
That's the Poseidon one right
yehg
I would love a DLC with more gods and boons, maybe even an ‘infinite/arena mode’ where Hades sends as many shades after you in Elysium’s arena or Erebus as it takes to kill you
DLC that adds hades as a boon giver
Oooooh that would be sick.
I personally don't think a dlc will happen but hey you never know ^_^
Fire as his status and maybe his legendary gives you a chance to bring enemies back from the double-dead to fight for you for the rest of the encounter
Y'know I think there's actually a big opportunity for a sequel with Hades. There's a bunch of unused gods that can serve a new cast of boons and imagine instead of ascending out of the underworld you're climbing Mount Olympus
as much as there's multitudes of options from mythology the story that is told ends quite well and (imo) doesn't need any more content on top
Yeah, I meant the sequel would likely tell a different story taking place in a different setting to Mount Olympus seems like a perfect candidate
More gods is always cool tho, I would be down to see a small expansion with a few new gods/boons and an arena mode
and I'm aware is very typical for rogue-lites to get post release support. Supergiant isn't a very typical game dev
Honestly the Hades package is quite complete
that would be cool, we'll have to wait and see what supergiant has in store after their well deserved break ^_^
Indeed
But moar contents are always welcomed
This is also their first roguelike game though, basically the most post-release support friendly kind of game there is
👆
I'd be down for a Dead Cells move where they'd make a separate team to work on Hades while the main team works on other games since they seem very interested in making new games as well
Not saying they will, but just a possibility, there's a lot of ways they can move forward in the future
I doubt supergiant would want to do that as it fragments the team which supergiant is already a small dev team
lads, what does dark foresight actually do?
one already gets these rewards, so does it.... give more?
not sure at all what it does
hades isnt striving to deliver a typical roguelike experience, its still a narrative game that is telling a specific story, more than anything
aggy you are trying so hard, i support you
I can see why you'd think it wouldn't happen but I wouldn't use employee size as a reason, Motion Twin which did that has 11 employees, 9 less than Supergiant
I mean for a roguelite, Hades gives you so much RNG options
discord doesn't like me pressing spacebar between point and up 
And straight up allows the give up function
wut does dark foresight actually change about run rly?
A lot
no idea, thats why im asking
but 40% is better rihjy
you're more likely to see god boons, coins, poms, hammers
as opposed to what?
The point wasn't that it's just like all the roguelikes, but that it is a roguelike and is the most open to post-release support out of all their games so far
Depends on your build
darkness, gems keys
as opposed to what?
Darkness gem keys
ahh okay
thanks for the explanation lads
sounds... neat but i think i prefer the other
keys are ops
note: you'll still only get 2 hammers or hermes boon room rewards
ah okay!
i... never realised there even were different coloured laurels
i.e. more temporary rewards, less meta progression rewards
hm
yeah dont think ill go for that honestly but thank you so much for the explanation lads
cleared everything rite up
I have never seen a gold laurel reroll into a boon
It's p good. I use it about 30/70
im much more focused on the meta progression than each individual run tbh
would olympian favor decrease the chance for things better then rare?
No
Wait wtf. I swear Zagreus just did a peace sign as he died
whoops, misread
the way rarity-boosting things work is kinda funky
yes he did
Is that rare?
but it wont lower your chances of higher rarities
i got that anim too, not sure if its exclusive to the ||surface|| or not though
rarity bonuses stack, they don't cancel out
where did you die kev?
hmm
sounds like its a ||surface death|| anim then, as i only get it there too
its very cute lol
- Adjusted animation and presentation after a successful escape attempt after the true ending
from #hades-patch-notes
ohhhh
thats what that is!
its very cute im glad it was added
tiny detail but very nice nonetheless
Honestly the ||surface sickness makes Zag look like he needs a restroom break bad||
snorts
had too much taco bell
could never place why LOL
so true
also always made my heart drop tbh esp the little audio sting w it
WISH ME LUCK
ima go see final boss

TIME TO SMACK EM WITH A UPPERKICK
Wow, just some my boy Hypnos get Idiot zoned. Pour out a cold one for him
LMFAO idiot zoned
i love hypnos
listen man
thanatos is the brother u love and hypnos is the brother who u wld give a noogie
and thats the simple truth
can i love hypnos after seeing that sansnos fan art
maja cursed us
after seeing that ~*what*~
one sec
no!!!
i demand it
#fan-works message
have yall seen the sirius fanart yet its destroying me
tbh adorable
i am unsure if its okay to post links to twitter here so i will hazard a guess and say no but if youd like you can dm me for the fanart
its sfw etc just absolutely obliterates me every time i see it
y'know
something i've thought of
since zag's feet are on fire how does he not like, start fires by walking around in elysium
Your artists were too preoccupation with whether they could, they never stopped to wonder whether they should
wait
or by being in his bed
I CANt smack him WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
you can post them in #fan-works as long as you properly credit and all
cry
if the artist doesn't want you to spread it, respect their wishes, and all of that
maybe thats why hades stays home all the got dam time
you go 5 feet in any direction and youve caused some kind of fire like. maybe i will stay home on my nice flame-proof tile
or like ||melt the snow on the surface||
||moms home||
Yay
||to be fair im p sure the surface footsteps do look a little melted||
||tho may be tricking myself into that, will update when i pop up there again||
||they do||
posted the art i woz thinking of in fanworks if anyone wld like 2 see it
but i cant bc of story
If you don't care for long term resources, is dark foresight generally better or Olympian favor?
foresight is apparently very good
when you play with routine inspection, they don't matter at all, so! 
Yeah its just gonna suck more having to deal with common boons
u know when u start a fresh run ||on high heat|| and have no boons and you feel a little bit like a toddler trying very hard to punch anything in sight
And I thought legacy wasn't that good? Like, it can vary a lot by run where in some runs it wouldn't benefit you at all if you don't have the prerequisites whereas God's Pride is just always good in a run
the first time i played a no darkness run, i was genuinely annoyed at how little gold laurel rooms there were 
Or am I missing something
c'est la rng of the game
So much ambrosia lol I want to use it
no, you're right
reset how? like, get the ambrosia back?
Legacy is for when you seek the duos/legendaries in your build
ah
core boons are the ones you'll be using the most, so of course pride will have a very nice effect
nope
but... i just like using duo/legendaries in my builds
and i have favor to patch me up for my cores
hey lads anyone got a resource for what all the ||pact of punishment perks|| are
like for enemies
putting ambrosia or titan blood into anything ||except dusa|| is permanent
My favorite for tryhard runs was dark foresight + gods pride tbh. A ton of epic boons
hey so
i forget which
It is, yes
the BP perks? they're pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat
does anyone here actually use chthonic vitality over dark regneration
thanks lads
i do for bounty runs
onyx out here with the video game resources
why would you use cthonic over dark for non bounty runs?
a boss who's bounty you already have is pretty much a full heal
dark is like, strictly better than cthonic in every way
oh
even if you have bounties
chthonic vitality imo is almost entirely useless
it's 2am
Eeh
I don't really enjoy the overkill heals after a boss tbh. It clashes with fountains a lot
i suppose chthonic is good if you are like. going to be ignoring darkness entirely on a bounty run
overkill?
if anything they heal me most of the way, and then fountains top me off to full
yeah same
yeah that
Is Chthonic that bad? Like sometimes I'm hovering at 10 HP and thinking that I would've died a while ago if I didn't have Chthonic
even on bounty runs, dark regen is still more useful imo
Except there are a lot of rooms
also i can see it being helpful for high lasting consequences runs because i'm not sure if dark regen helps that?
Onyx "Cast Build!" Cicada09/27/2020
Dark Regen turns:
- boss darkness drops into half hp heals, combined with the fountain you get fully healed after each biome
- darkness troves into good heals
- darkness from wells and charon into heals, which are cheaper than regular healing items and can top you off as needed
- sunken treasure from poseidon into extra heals on top of what you already get
- chaos eclipse/ocean's bounty into great healers on top of being great resource grinding boons
Wut, how do you get that much HP
In my opinion kevin. Chtonic is only really useful if you are new
Ah well, I'd just take my chaos recovery heals for now 
Because half the time it's about ||LC4 + SD||
Wait I read that wrong lmao
if you are already at the point where you regularly get to ||hades|| then you can probably survive a floor without dying
MORE LEVELS OF UNDERWORLD WHEN I AM BORED OF SAME BOSSES D:
also i can see it being helpful for high lasting consequences runs because i'm not sure if dark regen helps that?
cthonic gets affected by LC btw
Obviously
as well isnt a run roughly like... 32-60 chambers? thats 96 - 180 hp thru chthonic over an entire run
the big difference there is due to the whole thing with ||the temple of styx||
i get more than half of that from killing theseus lol
Like I said. if you haven't gotten to ||hades|| yet then maybe cthonic would be better to give you more survivability early on
yeah agreed
but beyond that dark regen is just like. full heals
Yeah I guess Im still in the noob mentality even though I'm on a 16 win streak lol gotta break out of that
before you unlock the Green Boys its. not that awful
I have no idea what you mean by that but alright
in response to whom
oh nvm i got it now
lol
alt mirror skills
green talents in mirror
green mirror traits
oh
cos theyre green
I like how all three of us called it by a different name
but you get those like... really early on
Ok, so I'm pretty sure my dusa bond is bugged. || I've maxed all 9 heart with her, max hearts with nyx, suicided 20+ times, and all this time she and nyx says generic lines at the house. I've freed Sisyphus, Achilles, orrpheus, if that matters. || Does anyone know how to fix this, or should I go to tech support channel?
@woven cipher My friend has the exact some problem :( Dusa has no new conversations, just generic dialogue. She maxed her hearts just before ||the epilogue|| though, I'm not sure if that's a problem?
they kinda look more yellow to me
Lime it is, then
acid grellow
like, i played a fresh file and oh my god do you really get these this early it's been less than 3 hours
I haven't got them until like, getting 1 level of fated authority
have no idea which things unlock after how many hours
Thanks rng dialogue
I basically have all the default mirror perks so this is a bit of a revelation to me, are there any other perks I should change to their alternative besides Dark Foresight and Dark Regen?
how far did y'all get your first run?
I made it a bit into the 2nd area before dying for the first time
end of tartarus
Hydra on hell mode iirc
and then it took me 100 runs to beat the final boss lmao
my fault tho i was rushing every time
Obviously, but using persuasion without literally having it unlocked is hard
(impossible
)
jus a lil difficult
i can't think of any others right now
when i first started playing, it was back when there were only two biomes and hydra was the final boss
same
it took me over 100+ runs to beat hydra
Yeah Persuasion sounds good Ill give that a try
i like family favorite but its usefulness when compared to priveleged status is debatable
esp against bosses
Same
an extra +15% that you have to actively build for and set up constantly? no thanks
It may be hard to apply 2 statuses, but up to 25% dmg is always there with FF, ye
i get +25% damage just from playing the game!
(and even can be constant 35 if you force more gods)
I sort of swap between Family Favorite and Preferred Status, personally prefer that latter just because it’s fairly easy to make up for early-game and to get consistently late-game
was hydra like harder back then
no i was just bad
in reference to the bit that's way above
Unless you're going for an Artemis build, I find it pretty hard to not trigger PS by the fourth area
my first hard block was the tartarus miniboss of all things
then it took me a real long time to beat meg
Hey, tbf the bombs are really hard to spot and react as new player
i only started playing like
hydra used to have one more phase, though
a week after 1.0 came out
Yeah as long as you’re picking boons right you should easily have 2 elements to proc by the time you get to Styx
my first clear was like my 19th run
and the murderboat in its extremely difficult infancy still existed
My hard-block for a while was the Heroes, but once I cleared them the first time and learned their moveset I haven’t had many runs end there since, not even on EM3+
Getting my first EM4/H16 clear today with ZagFists and Plume was the best feeling in the world
It was EM4 with 2 stacks of whatever the thing that gives armored enemies special traits and 1 stack of Jury Summons
i should try em4 without coward mode on
"Here comes one of my finest blessings now" all of them are bad
Reroll them bip-bips
god mode isn't coward mode lmao
that's what i call it because that's how i feel when i have it on lol
Imagine playing with god mode
If something it's the opposite, for someone so brave they don't dodge as much
Plot armor literally
Imagine not slamming your space key furiously while playing the game
Even better, imagine not using ZagFists+Plume if you want to not get hit
I mean, you can slam it all you want, but if you also slam attack with it your iframes are nonexistant

i don't really need it to get consistent clears on like 10 or below heat with my favorite weapon
but i just keep it on
because i'm a coward
Big brain
the hardest thing in this game isn't ||high heat|| runs
it's when you see a fated list boon next to a boon that would really help you
I unlocked the secret sword on my last run of the night, I gotta give it a try in the morning
Also need to figure out how to get the hidden aspect for the fists
it's when you see a fated list boon next to a boon that would really help you
That's why i intentionally ruin runs to get those out of the way asap lel
Was just about to say that lmao
ok i chnaged my mind
hardest thing is to accept the fact that the horde chest has health in it when im at max hp
I don’t even bother with Trove Chests unless it’s offering gemstones. Heck Trove Chests, all my homies hate Trove Chests
idk dark chests are pretty nice
Darkness chests are kinda crisp now that I think abouf it ye
I just don’t care enough to put extra time into a run
High Confidence is such a nice mirror perk, the entire first half of the game is basically free with it
I feel like charon is running some sort of mafia protection scheme
whenever I get the "no flame wheels spawn" item. I always wind up finding a flame wheel arena in the next room
Well, you can't release what isn't there in first place
Charon really is just giving you crucial information
I want to use ambrosia lol when can we?
ambrosia is used as a high value currency in the lounge or to advance character relations
I have 12 titan blood and want to upgrade, when can I do that?
after you buy all six weapons
how do i unlock #5 and #6?
with keys
they are unlocked sequentially so you have to buy the previous one for the next to show up
I have nyx at the next heart is locked how do I get past the locked heart?
conversation triggered
oh, i just bought the 4th one but they are still blank squares
its best to just move on to another character while you wait
have you done a run since unlocking it?
just about to
to continue what i was saying with lestat. sometimes a locked heart conversation is tied up in another character's relation. so it could require you to have more hearts with someone else
the next weapon shows up upon re entering the house
thx for the help btw
Oooo ok @delicate pilot thank yoi
i do kinda wonder how you got 12 titan blood with only three weapons unlocked
I have 4 hades kills already
oh i see
i used keys for mirrors
Lose 3 death defiances to EM Theseus-Asterius > picked up anvil which grant Charged Shot > cheese REDACTED fight with beyblade, charged shot and crystal beam, and occassional Athena aid. lmao
so far all of my ||hades|| kills have been with some kind of OP weapon combo
like the glorious combo of railgun + hazard bomb + any special boon
hazard bomb build feels op against ||hades||
I'd say eris, the damage buff applies to all attacks
i kinda wish certain gods were in the game purely just for the interactions they'd have
I like the Eris Aspect best, but my friend loves the hestia one better
zagreus is solid all around
secret aspect is wonky
i love it
I gotta say though cus you reminded me
Dionysus was my favorite god at the start
now I lean more toward ares or Poseidon
i always enjoy a good festive fog tho
plus i usually prefer hangover attack over the other attacks
I've gotten this consistent build on the Chiron bow on multiple runs so far and it's so good
Aphrodite on attack, Artemis on Special, get Heart Rend for +50% crit to weak foes, get as many Artemis crit boons as you possibly can, and boom you're basically set for a win
another question, regarding cast builds
how do people go casting in the first place when you cant choose what spell you got?
this really confuses me
Do you get the Skelly Rewards if you skip Heat?
you can't choose but you can set it up
If I'm aiming for a certain boon I'll equip the god's keepsake
In my head. I'm not building a build for the climb up
I'm building the build to fight ||hades||
If you're ever going for a specific build, just equip the god's keepsake, upgrade Fated persuasion at least once on the mirror, and you're almost guaranteed to get whatever boon you want at the start with a reroll
im still working toward that
I usually take Artemis Keepsake for Tart, Aphro for Asp and Acron for Ely onwards
It always feel nice when you get the second God you wanted for the Duo right in Tartarus, so you don't have to equip the keepsake for another god later
But half the time that doesn't happen
@tepid plover there there, I like you allright.
It's always nice when you get a duo
in fact, I'm close to giving you Ambrosia
Yeah if I get the second god I'll get ||Persephone|| Keepsake instead for Asp
Anyways
Do you get the Skelly Rewards if you skip Heat?
however 70% of the time I just get hangover additional powers before I ever get a hang over ability
just finished a run with the secret aspect of fists and a dyonisus attack boon... That was whacky fun !
especially since I had the "hangover foes give hangover to neighbours" stuff
peer pressure
Which companions work against ||Hades? Or I remember hearing somewhere that after some event, you can use any companion against hades, anyone know about this?||
yeah after the end
epilogue?
yes
||Every companion work after a certain point when Hades will personally give you permission in hub||
ok, and are there any that work before that?
ok thanks, right now i'm only on ||5 heat|| so I don't really have any use for the companion besides final boss
is bullrush considered an attack?
if you take attack defelct does it affect bullrush?
yep
yes
coolbeans
what builds are good for Chiron?
@tepid plover would you recommend skelly or shady if I'm trying to use it for ||hades?||
I'm basically spamming Aphro + Arte every round 
@analog sentinel I just did that exact run with Chiron too lol
||shady|| is S+ tier, i have the ability to use all, and still use it
I'm going to try to RNG Consecutive + Relentless Volley
ok thx
I've given him nectar to where there's a lock icon on the heart and i can only talk
Do i have to keep giving nectar to bouldy or just keep talking with sis?
I'm going to try to RNG Consecutive + Relentless Volley
@analog sentinel I got that on the first time I unlocked Chiron and I was amazed LOL
Yeah I got my fastest clear with that build
Together with Aphro Attack + Artemis Special
around 17min
if only you could reroll hammers
Question: is the battle of ||all three Furies showing up|| triggered by the Pact of Punishment that grants them new abilities, or is it a random chance after unlocking them?
gifting bouldy only ||gives you a boon|| you dont need this at all for story purposes
got it thx
Question: is the battle of ||all three Furies showing up|| triggered by the Pact of Aggression that grants them new abilities, or is it a random chance after unlocking them?
em1
em = extreme measures
all good, i forget all the time
Triple Shot + Point Blank seems like a pretty neat combo 
Okay, thought so.
...Weirdly enough, I don't know if it's because my primary attack inflicts hangover, but I swear to God(s) it made it easier to fight Meg.
hangover is op
Meg and Lernie gets trivialised so hard with the DPS of Chiron
Oh, yes. Whatever causes the Doom Burst (I forget the name) are SUPER overpowered.

So what's the best hangover duo boon to aim for with Chiron?
Low Tolerance, Curse of Nausea, or Splitting Headache?
why not all 3 
Splitting if you're using Arte Special
but I don't like Dion with Chiron, it's normally either Demeter or Aphro/Arte for me
Talked to Artemis.
"blah blah blah ... ...you see Achilles, tellhimhe'sthebestforme~!"
I like how her thirst for Achilles just blurts out towards the end.
pretty sure i suck with shield
either that or its a low dps weapon
(feels that way)
using aspect of chaos although its only level 2
not quite sure it 100% matters, you cant spam the shotgun
Im giving up with this Guan Yu. So terrible.
DLC: it's Lu Bu instead.
@balmy ginkgo It's a bit of both. I swear to God(s) that I take more damage with the shield on certain perks, but I escaped Hades the first time around with it. Getting perks that do continuous damage, break armor with Bull Rush, or supercharge bullrush make it really good - it's also REALLY useful against ||Hades' laser spam.||
Shield is phenomenal. It's the spammiest weapon, but you can also get some distance as opposed to the fists. My fastest run is with shield, and so is my highest heat.
Just turn brain off and mash attack
Stupid curse bot.
Basically, what Zim said. Shield also allows you to block or escape OR pierce (I wound up with that weird boon that replaces Bull Rush with a piercing shot).
The Fists are good, but I feel like I'm tickling people with a wet noodle at times. The first time I fought ||Theseus and Asterias||, I couldn't do enough damage to Golden Boy and got murdered when he called for Ares.
Clearly you're not dash attacking enough
I didn't get a Dash boon. :(
That, and it was Ares, so I had to keep dashing faaaaar away.
With fists I pretty much just run magnet, so I can get some damage at a distance.
Haven't gotten that mod yet.
Though I really wanna try to go for a dodge build
dodge build
Ah, Payday 2 flashbacks.
You don't need a dash boon, you just need to stunlock people by dash attacking behind them
Wait, is ||Theseus|| stunlockable?
No, you just need to keep at him
Also, Shield is also risky at times, especially if you've been cursed or Punished with stronger trap damage. The first few times, I REALLY hated Asphodel because I'd keep crashing into lava.
Actually, I now remember why my shield run was the fastest. I had like 40% dodge, which went up to 60+ when using call, and some form of deflect. So I could just run up to anything without getting hit.
Yeah, Shield stunlock is great (as is Spear), but.
The game has crashed twice now for unknown reasons. I don't know what's causing it but it sort of sucks because the second time it happened on the last boss lol, over half way through it.
And now it's seemingly updating it? I don't know what's going on
try #h1-tech-support
I found out that if you lose to || Charon ||, but give up and cancel that run, the game still knows that for the purpose of achievement :(
Hermes knows your tricks
i have to admit the revive mechanic on elys is.. really unfun
im at heat 3 so its just.. really annoying to deal with
i find myself taking so much extra damage just because you need to kill them asap
more often then not putting you OOP
extremely frustrating and not fun (for me)
F
should higher their respawn timer / lower their HP significantly
