abstract drum
#

there would be some reworking needed obviously

tepid plover
#

Pyre is literally built for multiplayer and they said they have no plans on bringing it

#

So I doubt

#

Hades will get it

abstract drum
#

fair

tepid plover
#

If one of their games is getting multiplayer, it'll be pyre

#

Once pyre gets it, you can get your hopes up

granite ether
#

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

tepid plover
#

Yup

deep geyser
#

However, if you get Dio boon while using Hera bow, DO get your hoped up

tepid plover
vestal night
#

is the PC/switch cross save live yet? just got another patch on steam but don't see notes

tepid plover
#

The patch was minor bug fixes afaik

#

Thats why no notes

vestal night
#

kk

granite ether
#

you'll likely see an announcement made when cross-saves go live

#

(by usually either Greg or Amir)

deep geyser
#

But yeah honestly I think Dio cast is probably one of my favs on Hera bow

#

Just stupid damage lol

brazen stone
#

Remind me, which gods / things can give additional casts? ||Chaos?||

deep geyser
#

I think just them, but idk for sure

flat vapor
#

prometheus stones from wells, and artemis legendary boon

glad mist
#

The one you mentioned can too

brazen stone
#

Awesome thanks

tepid plover
#

Chaos as well yes

#

Hermes has sick stuff for casts

deep geyser
#

Like what?

rain cedar
#

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

leaden vortex
#

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

brazen stone
#

What does giving ||Ambrosia|| to ||Charon|| give you?

deep geyser
#

Nothing

woven cipher
#

I have over 10k kill and|| can't get the war god's bloodlust propecies, what am I missing? ||

deep geyser
#

@brazen stone It completes his thing thats it

brazen stone
#

@deep geyser Purely to fill the heart gauge then?

#

Roger that

deep geyser
#

Thats what I've heard

cloud apex
#

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||

modest scroll
#

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.

deep geyser
#

It could be possible - Terraria makes your keyboard chage based on biome and weather

tepid plover
#

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

deep geyser
#

Hm

opaque nexus
#

I just found out what the hidden shield aspect is actually based off of

deep geyser
#

Wonder how that works with certain things

wooden quartz
#

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?

cloud apex
#

Definitely any 3-picks for a choice

deep geyser
#

Maybe spawning enemies? And they could make them shielded and give them buffs

cloud apex
#

Or bosses, for that matter

#

"asdf1382, the bone hydra" dusa

deep geyser
#

Oh that could be cool

#

CrabBar and Grim2Win

wooden quartz
#

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

deep geyser
#

Eh, that might be a bit much

cloud apex
#

Maybe force an attack once in a while. I don't think most twitch mods give total control to viewers

sinful bridge
#

some simple things would be healing enemies, armor to enemies, healing player, giving resources like gems and darkness?

deep geyser
#

Or calling in buffs or random calls?

sinful bridge
#

that too!

#

good idea

#

as fun as it is to torture the streamer, giving positives is lovely too

cloud apex
#

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

wooden quartz
#

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

cloud apex
#

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

austere jacinth
#

You can do that one with one of the mirror powers, no?

cloud apex
#

Yes, fated authority
Speaking for the concept of twitch mod though

tepid plover
#

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

flat vapor
#

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

hollow mulch
#

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.

thorny cairn
#

Lmao without any mirror talents it won’t be fun

#

All one life, 50 health + 5 heat yeeeooo

cloud apex
#

You practically have to spec into Merciful End on fresh file

#

And even then the journey is more akin to 30ish heat run

woven cipher
#

I've given dusa 10 ambrosia but wouldn't get her to trigger the final conversation or get the bond?

austere jacinth
#

I haven't got her to trigger that final convo either... One day.

thorny cairn
#

Same!! Was just thinking that today

#

I want dem ‘Brosias back man

woven cipher
#

I gave it to her in the expectation that I'd have it back...

#

I need those :(

barren ocean
#

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

fresh steppe
#

I don’t think so

barren ocean
#

sweet

brisk trail
#

What's everyone's max damage dealt? I'm curious to know if someone can beat my current one. :3

hardy escarp
#

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

barren ocean
#

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?

austere jacinth
#

I find Asterius easier even in EM. I do love that fight though.

barren ocean
#

??? Ive managed to get 5 gods during this run?

#

How?

#

I thought the max was 4

flat vapor
#

you can force using keepsakes to get extras

opaque heron
#

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.

barren ocean
#

I used Posiedon at the start

#

and havent changed it

opaque heron
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

deep geyser
#

Dio best mang

opaque heron
#

Maybe they removed the max?

barren ocean
#

maybe

#

But also with Em3, i just run behind theseus and backstab him till he breaks

#

Then i do the same to Asterius

opaque heron
#

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

barren ocean
#

let them stack and ||Summon Than||

#

Oh im using it for the +60% Darkness/gems

opaque heron
#

That’s a thought too

barren ocean
#

for a darkness run

opaque heron
#

Aaaah. Fair ‘nuff

brisk trail
#

@barren ocean Don't know. I'll give my max damage: 129,600.

barren ocean
#

sorry how

#

what

#

rofl

deep geyser
#

What

barren ocean
#

is that stacking or one go

opaque heron
#

Is that theoretical, or what do you have to support that?

brisk trail
#

It is a single... chop. :3

barren ocean
#

WHAT THE

#

was that revenge

opaque heron
#

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?

amber cloak
#

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.

barren ocean
#

its definitely dependant on playstyle

#

I personally dont like ||Guan Yu||

opaque heron
#

I mean, I don’t like how ||Guan Yu|| plays (or more specifically, how I tend to play it), but it is not trash

barren ocean
#

Oh also guys 4ths aspects are spoilers

#

so dont forget to tag

granite ether
#

Ty ^_^

opaque heron
#

Ty for catchin’ me, whoops

barren ocean
#

👍

amber cloak
#

Oop my bad

barren ocean
#

I saw Aggy and was like

#

"oops"

#

"Aggy is typing..."

#

👀

amber cloak
#

Also I play all the weapons and they're all balanced, but you just have to use a different approach to all of them

barren ocean
#

^^

#

I tried to play it at first like Varatha with Zag aspect

#

that did not go well

#

lmao

granite ether
#

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

opaque heron
#

I thought the throw on ||Guan Yu|| was really good tho

amber cloak
#

||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

barren ocean
#

the special on it is definitely one of its key parts

amber cloak
#

But it rewards you with a stronger moveset as a result

barren ocean
#

Yea the health penalty is real harsh

#

Tempted to get it to max before i try doing a run again

opaque heron
#

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

amber cloak
#

I did it on level one, although all my aspects are on level one lol

mortal isle
#

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

barren ocean
#

Its definitely the type of weapon I would need to run a couple times to get used to

indigo nest
#

started using sword today for once

barren ocean
#

@mortal isle

indigo nest
#

seems fun

woven cipher
#

I just made the worst mistake in my 100+ runs

barren ocean
#

what do you mean boon slots?

indigo nest
#

oh no

#

what happened

woven cipher
#

I did the pure special Chiron build

amber cloak
#

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

indigo nest
#

I see where this is going

barren ocean
#

did you Chaos special

woven cipher
#

And took chaos curse of -5hp per special

barren ocean
#

Xeiofhiefwihfasdhlfhjewioff

#

lmfaooooo

#

gg

opaque heron
#

Yesssss. Someone else who appreciates Chiron

indigo nest
#

chiron is good

woven cipher
#

A great run totally ruined

barren ocean
#

Chrion is GREAT

mortal isle
#

Like when on the menu when it shows all the books you have

indigo nest
#

I just don't use bow

woven cipher
#

It was so 90% special bonus man

#

It was in Elysium too

mortal isle
#

Normally there are diamonds that don’t have anything in them, but they are all filled now

woven cipher
#

I'm so greedy and dumb

barren ocean
#

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

indigo nest
#

yeah

#

there's 5 primary and then extras

mortal isle
#

Gotcha

barren ocean
#

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

woven cipher
#

Man it could've been so great, I'll remember this

barren ocean
#

XDD

#

did you try at least just dashing or attacking

#

or did you die

indigo nest
#

oof I did only spear throw run earlier today

woven cipher
#

I had nothing on dash, I tried attacking

#

I'm so frustrated lol

barren ocean
#

oof

#

spoiler tag that btw

#

I know Aggy is def still around lmao

woven cipher
#

Spoiler tag what?

barren ocean
#

||Companions||

#

since those are endgame

#

||spoiler||

#

use the two | on each side to tag spoilers

#

for future ref

amber cloak
#

Wait, question, how endgame are ||companions||? I literally just got the true ending and still have never even heard of a ||companion|| lmao

barren ocean
#

sorry when i say "endgame" it just means everyhing after true ending

flat vapor
#

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

barren ocean
#

Tho really the rule is, spoiler tag everything after beating first clear

indigo nest
#

my fav so far is ||dusa||

amber cloak
#

Oh, well that didn't happen with me lmao

indigo nest
#

idk but it's just cute tbh-

austere jacinth
#

Dusa is a sweetheart.

barren ocean
#

Dusa is an amazing gorgon head and i love her

amber cloak
#

So ||Ambrosia|| actually comes into play later on? I'm literally just sitting on 19 with no idea what to do with them

barren ocean
#

Ambrosia is for friendship hearts after locked hearts

#

Since they dont take nectar after that

tepid plover
#

||to bond with people and level up companions||

barren ocean
#

and that

indigo nest
#

dusa is my favorite character-

amber cloak
#

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

noble jungle
#

are bounties in normal mode or hell mode only?

barren ocean
#

normal as well

flat vapor
#

bounties are available in both

#

you're not missing content between normal or hell mode

barren ocean
#

^

#

its just a difficulty thing

noble jungle
#

ok good the nnill try hellll mode LATER.. lmao

amber cloak
#

I imagine I'll try Hell Mode whenever I do a second playthrough

wooden quartz
#

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

flat vapor
#

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

sharp fossil
#

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

tepid plover
dawn creek
#

if i get two different favor boons from chaos do they combine?

tepid plover
#

yes

dawn creek
#

ok

#

thanks

tepid plover
#

wait

#

what do you mean favor boons

dawn creek
#

like "afterward, boons have x% chance to be rare or higher"

sharp fossil
#

+% to boon rarity iirc?

#

yeah

tepid plover
#

ah yes

#

they do

sharp fossil
#

they combine just fine

dawn creek
#

ah sweet

#

boutta get me a second one

tepid plover
plucky rampart
#

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.

tepid plover
#

you will be surprised

plucky rampart
#

So that we can continue to play the game after the scripted events with Persephone runs out.

tepid plover
#

correct

woven cipher
#

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?

barren ocean
#

How much do you talk to her

#

Or rather

#

at 20ish times that might just be bad rng

woven cipher
#

But I've exhausted all her conversations, I would say 15 runs straight with no exclamation mark

north pier
#

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?||

bright lance
#

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

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.

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

hollow lagoon

HE IS A PUNCHING BAG

manic bobcat
#

Aren't we all masochists?

hollow lagoon
#

i want a mod to make him a punchingbag

narrow hemlock
#

oh for sure, his perception is that hes the hero. but to the perspective of the player he's the heel

hollow lagoon
#

and his text to be PUNCH ME PUNCH ME

#

hehehe

#

because thats how we feel

austere jacinth
#

I still kinda like Theseus, he makes me laugh.

hollow lagoon

tho

aesterious

i feel bad when i hit em ;-;

anyone else?

austere jacinth

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.

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

smoky epoch

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

smoky epoch

must be bad luck

#

5 runs already, oh well

hollow lagoon
#

dab on u

amber cloak
#

Is there any use for keys after unlocking all the upgrades and weapons besides respec?

unique kestrel
#

does "buying nectar" count as a use

amber cloak
#

Well yeah, if there's no other use I was just gonna trade it all away

unique kestrel
#

yeah trade them

zealous galleon
#

The first question answered here makes me hopeful for a sequel or content DLC

amber cloak
#

This was also a year ago, so a lot of things can change within that year

zealous galleon
#

True

delicate pilot
#

you know im setting up my run heavily to favor getting one specific boon and wouldn't ya know. that boon stopped existing

abstract drum
#

RNG rests not in your favor

zealous galleon
#

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

delicate pilot
#

Here is where I would put my Tempest Flourish. IF I HAD ONE

zealous galleon
#

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?

delicate pilot
#

special does knockback

zealous galleon
#

Ah

delicate pilot
#

i have TWO boons specifically that increase knockback damage

zealous galleon
#

That's the Poseidon one right

delicate pilot
#

yehg

abstract drum
#

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

delicate pilot
#

DLC that adds hades as a boon giver

abstract drum
#

Oooooh that would be sick.

granite ether
#

I personally don't think a dlc will happen but hey you never know ^_^

abstract drum
#

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

amber cloak
#

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

granite ether
#

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

amber cloak
#

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

abstract drum
#

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

granite ether
#

and I'm aware is very typical for rogue-lites to get post release support. Supergiant isn't a very typical game dev

manic bobcat
#

Honestly the Hades package is quite complete

granite ether
#

that would be cool, we'll have to wait and see what supergiant has in store after their well deserved break ^_^

abstract drum
#

Indeed

manic bobcat
#

But moar contents are always welcomed

amber cloak
#

This is also their first roguelike game though, basically the most post-release support friendly kind of game there is

abstract drum
#

👆

amber cloak
#

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

granite ether
#

I doubt supergiant would want to do that as it fragments the team which supergiant is already a small dev team

merry jewel
#

lads, what does dark foresight actually do?

#

one already gets these rewards, so does it.... give more?

#

not sure at all what it does

narrow hemlock
#

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

amber cloak
#

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

manic bobcat
#

I mean for a roguelite, Hades gives you so much RNG options

granite ether
#

discord doesn't like me pressing spacebar between point and up bittieF

manic bobcat
#

And straight up allows the give up function

hollow lagoon
#

wut does dark foresight actually change about run rly?

manic bobcat
#

A lot

merry jewel
#

no idea, thats why im asking

hollow lagoon
#

but 40% is better rihjy

granite ether
#

you're more likely to see god boons, coins, poms, hammers

merry jewel
#

as opposed to what?

amber cloak
#

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

manic bobcat
#

Depends on your build

granite ether
#

darkness, gems keys

manic bobcat
#

as opposed to what?
Darkness gem keys

merry jewel
#

ahh okay

#

thanks for the explanation lads

#

sounds... neat but i think i prefer the other

hollow lagoon
#

keys are ops

granite ether
#

note: you'll still only get 2 hammers or hermes boon room rewards

merry jewel
#

ah okay!

flat vapor
#

lemme pull out da chart

#

you get more gold laurels, as opposed to blue laurels

merry jewel
#

i... never realised there even were different coloured laurels

flat vapor
#

i.e. more temporary rewards, less meta progression rewards

merry jewel
#

hm

#

yeah dont think ill go for that honestly but thank you so much for the explanation lads

#

cleared everything rite up

smoky epoch
#

I have never seen a gold laurel reroll into a boon

manic bobcat
#

It's p good. I use it about 30/70

merry jewel
#

im much more focused on the meta progression than each individual run tbh

delicate pilot
#

would olympian favor decrease the chance for things better then rare?

manic bobcat
#

No

amber cloak
#

Wait wtf. I swear Zagreus just did a peace sign as he died

flat vapor
#

whoops, misread

shell ice
#

the way rarity-boosting things work is kinda funky

merry jewel
#

yes he did

amber cloak
#

Is that rare?

shell ice
#

but it wont lower your chances of higher rarities

merry jewel
#

i got that anim too, not sure if its exclusive to the ||surface|| or not though

flat vapor
#

rarity bonuses stack, they don't cancel out

merry jewel
#

where did you die kev?

amber cloak
#

Or has he always been peace signing and I never noticed

#

Beat the game

merry jewel
#

hmm

brisk lagoon
#

i believe it was added in the recent patch

#

didnt notice it until after

merry jewel
#

sounds like its a ||surface death|| anim then, as i only get it there too

#

its very cute lol

flat vapor

  • 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

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

you can post them in #fan-works as long as you properly credit and all

i wonder the same about hades himself

flat vapor

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

If you don't care for long term resources, is dark foresight generally better or Olympian favor?

flat vapor
#

foresight is apparently very good

merry jewel
#

olympian favour

#

oh wait

#

got that backwards

#

dark foresight

flat vapor
#

i just go favor/legacy though

#

player preference, in the end

merry jewel
#

that is also very true

#

theyre both viable in the end

flat vapor
#

when you play with routine inspection, they don't matter at all, so! dusa

amber cloak
#

Yeah its just gonna suck more having to deal with common boons

merry jewel
#

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

amber cloak
#

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

flat vapor
#

the first time i played a no darkness run, i was genuinely annoyed at how little gold laurel rooms there were squirtyay

amber cloak
#

Or am I missing something

merry jewel
#

c'est la rng of the game

nocturne zealot
#

So much ambrosia lol I want to use it

flat vapor
#

no, you're right

smoky epoch
#

is there anyway to reset the summons?

#

😛

#

like I want my ambrosia back

merry jewel
#

reset how? like, get the ambrosia back?

cloud apex
#

Legacy is for when you seek the duos/legendaries in your build

merry jewel
#

ah

flat vapor
#

core boons are the ones you'll be using the most, so of course pride will have a very nice effect

worn umbra
#

nope

flat vapor
#

but... i just like using duo/legendaries in my builds

#

and i have favor to patch me up for my cores

merry jewel
#

hey lads anyone got a resource for what all the ||pact of punishment perks|| are

#

like for enemies

worn umbra
#

putting ambrosia or titan blood into anything ||except dusa|| is permanent

cloud apex
#

My favorite for tryhard runs was dark foresight + gods pride tbh. A ton of epic boons

worn umbra
#

oh

#

that's listed in game benjamin

#

i think it's a prophecy

delicate pilot
#

hey so

worn umbra
#

i forget which

cloud apex
#

It is, yes

flat vapor
delicate pilot
#

does anyone here actually use chthonic vitality over dark regneration

merry jewel
#

thanks lads

worn umbra
#

i do for bounty runs

merry jewel
#

onyx out here with the video game resources

delicate pilot
#

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

flat vapor
#

dark is like, strictly better than cthonic in every way

worn umbra
#

oh

flat vapor
#

even if you have bounties

worn umbra
#

sorry i'm dumb

#

i use it for runs WITH bounties

merry jewel
#

chthonic vitality imo is almost entirely useless

worn umbra
#

it's 2am

cloud apex
#

Eeh
I don't really enjoy the overkill heals after a boss tbh. It clashes with fountains a lot

delicate pilot
#

i suppose chthonic is good if you are like. going to be ignoring darkness entirely on a bounty run

flat vapor
#

overkill?

#

if anything they heal me most of the way, and then fountains top me off to full

merry jewel
#

yeah same

worn umbra
#

yeah that

amber cloak
#

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

flat vapor
#

even on bounty runs, dark regen is still more useful imo

merry jewel
#

3 hp per room is abysmal

#

esp when i end up having 200-300 hp by the end of asphodel

cloud apex
#

Except there are a lot of rooms

worn umbra
#

also i can see it being helpful for high lasting consequences runs because i'm not sure if dark regen helps that?

flat vapor
#

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
amber cloak
#

Wut, how do you get that much HP

delicate pilot
#

In my opinion kevin. Chtonic is only really useful if you are new

cloud apex
#

Ah well, I'd just take my chaos recovery heals for now dusa

merry jewel
#

h

#

how are you not getting that much hp

cloud apex
#

Because half the time it's about ||LC4 + SD||

amber cloak
#

Wait I read that wrong lmao

delicate pilot
#

if you are already at the point where you regularly get to ||hades|| then you can probably survive a floor without dying

glacial patio
#

MORE LEVELS OF UNDERWORLD WHEN I AM BORED OF SAME BOSSES D:

flat vapor
#

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

cloud apex
#

Obviously

merry jewel
#

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||

flat vapor
#

i get more than half of that from killing theseus lol

merry jewel
#

yeah same

#

just seems mostly useless compared to dark regen

delicate pilot
#

Like I said. if you haven't gotten to ||hades|| yet then maybe cthonic would be better to give you more survivability early on

merry jewel
#

yeah agreed

delicate pilot
#

but beyond that dark regen is just like. full heals

amber cloak
#

Yeah I guess Im still in the noob mentality even though I'm on a 16 win streak lol gotta break out of that

merry jewel
#

before you unlock the Green Boys its. not that awful

delicate pilot
#

I have no idea what you mean by that but alright

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.

@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?

merry jewel

god

#

i hyperfocused on hades hard the first like 2 weeks of 1.0 being out

cloud apex
#

I haven't got them until like, getting 1 level of fated authority

merry jewel
#

have no idea which things unlock after how many hours

cloud apex
#

Thanks rng dialogue

amber cloak
#

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?

delicate pilot
#

how far did y'all get your first run?

#

I made it a bit into the 2nd area before dying for the first time

merry jewel
#

end of tartarus

cloud apex
#

Hydra on hell mode iirc

worn umbra
#

uhhhhh
fated persuasion is good

#

imo better than fated authority

merry jewel
#

and then it took me 100 runs to beat the final boss lmao

#

my fault tho i was rushing every time

cloud apex
#

Obviously, but using persuasion without literally having it unlocked is hard

#

(impossible bouldy)

merry jewel
#

jus a lil difficult

worn umbra
#

i can't think of any others right now

flat vapor
#

when i first started playing, it was back when there were only two biomes and hydra was the final boss

void vigil
#

same

flat vapor
#

it took me over 100+ runs to beat hydra

amber cloak
#

Yeah Persuasion sounds good Ill give that a try

merry jewel
#

i avoided playing until 1.0

#

wanted to get the full experience

worn umbra
#

i like family favorite but its usefulness when compared to priveleged status is debatable

#

esp against bosses

flat vapor
#

its use is in build flexibility

#

i prefer it over PS tbh

cloud apex
#

Same

flat vapor
#

an extra +15% that you have to actively build for and set up constantly? no thanks

cloud apex
#

It may be hard to apply 2 statuses, but up to 25% dmg is always there with FF, ye

flat vapor
#

i get +25% damage just from playing the game!

cloud apex
#

(and even can be constant 35 if you force more gods)

abstract drum
#

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

worn umbra
#

was hydra like harder back then

flat vapor
#

no i was just bad

worn umbra
#

in reference to the bit that's way above

amber cloak
#

Unless you're going for an Artemis build, I find it pretty hard to not trigger PS by the fourth area

flat vapor
#

my first hard block was the tartarus miniboss of all things

#

then it took me a real long time to beat meg

cloud apex
#

Hey, tbf the bombs are really hard to spot and react as new player

worn umbra
#

i only started playing like

void vigil
#

hydra used to have one more phase, though

worn umbra
#

a week after 1.0 came out

abstract drum
#

Yeah as long as you’re picking boons right you should easily have 2 elements to proc by the time you get to Styx

worn umbra
#

my first clear was like my 19th run

flat vapor
#

and the murderboat in its extremely difficult infancy still existed

abstract drum
#

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

worn umbra
#

i should try em4 without coward mode on

delicate pilot
#

"Here comes one of my finest blessings now" all of them are bad

abstract drum
#

Reroll them bip-bips

narrow hemlock
#

god mode isn't coward mode lmao

worn umbra
#

that's what i call it because that's how i feel when i have it on lol

abstract drum
#

Imagine playing with god mode

cloud apex
#

If something it's the opposite, for someone so brave they don't dodge as much

#

Plot armor literally

abstract drum
#

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

cloud apex
#

I mean, you can slam it all you want, but if you also slam attack with it your iframes are nonexistant

worn umbra
#

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

abstract drum
#

Big brain

delicate pilot
#

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

abstract drum
#

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

cloud apex
#

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

abstract drum
#

Was just about to say that lmao

delicate pilot
#

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

delicate pilot
#

idk dark chests are pretty nice

abstract drum
#

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

delicate pilot
#

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

cloud apex
#

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?

delicate pilot
#

ambrosia is used as a high value currency in the lounge or to advance character relations

cobalt canyon
#

I have 12 titan blood and want to upgrade, when can I do that?

delicate pilot
#

after you buy all six weapons

cobalt canyon
#

how do i unlock #5 and #6?

delicate pilot
#

with keys

#

they are unlocked sequentially so you have to buy the previous one for the next to show up

nocturne zealot
#

I have nyx at the next heart is locked how do I get past the locked heart?

delicate pilot
#

conversation triggered

cobalt canyon
#

oh, i just bought the 4th one but they are still blank squares

delicate pilot
#

its best to just move on to another character while you wait

#

have you done a run since unlocking it?

cobalt canyon
#

just about to

delicate pilot
#

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

cobalt canyon
#

thx for the help btw

nocturne zealot
#

Oooo ok @delicate pilot thank yoi

delicate pilot
#

i do kinda wonder how you got 12 titan blood with only three weapons unlocked

cobalt canyon
#

I have 4 hades kills already

delicate pilot
#

oh i see

cobalt canyon
#

i used keys for mirrors

brisk trail
#

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

delicate pilot
#

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

narrow mauve
#

hazard bomb build feels op against ||hades||

balmy ginkgo
#

whats the best aspect for the rail?

#

only magazine one seems alright

brisk trail
#

I'd say eris, the damage buff applies to all attacks

delicate pilot
#

i kinda wish certain gods were in the game purely just for the interactions they'd have

robust sundial
#

I like the Eris Aspect best, but my friend loves the hestia one better

#

zagreus is solid all around

#

secret aspect is wonky

tepid plover
#

i love it

delicate pilot
#

I gotta say though cus you reminded me

#

Dionysus was my favorite god at the start

#

now I lean more toward ares or Poseidon

tepid plover
#

wow

#

right in my face

delicate pilot
#

i always enjoy a good festive fog tho

#

plus i usually prefer hangover attack over the other attacks

bright lance
#

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

balmy ginkgo
#

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

analog sentinel
#

Do you get the Skelly Rewards if you skip Heat?

delicate pilot
#

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||

bright lance
#

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

delicate pilot
#

im still working toward that

analog sentinel
#

I usually take Artemis Keepsake for Tart, Aphro for Asp and Acron for Ely onwards

bright lance
#

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

robust sundial
#

@tepid plover there there, I like you allright.

delicate pilot
#

It's always nice when you get a duo

robust sundial
#

in fact, I'm close to giving you Ambrosia

analog sentinel
#

Yeah if I get the second god I'll get ||Persephone|| Keepsake instead for Asp

delicate pilot
#

hey!

#

Dionysus is good when he gives me the attack hangover

analog sentinel
#

Anyways

Do you get the Skelly Rewards if you skip Heat?

delicate pilot
#

however 70% of the time I just get hangover additional powers before I ever get a hang over ability

robust sundial
#

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

tepid plover
#

peer pressure

bright lance
#

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?||

tepid plover
#

yeah after the end

bright lance
#

epilogue?

tepid plover
#

yes

analog sentinel
#

||Every companion work after a certain point when Hades will personally give you permission in hub||

bright lance
#

ok, and are there any that work before that?

tepid plover
#

||shady and the skelly one||

#

dont know about ||fidi||

bright lance
#

ok thanks, right now i'm only on ||5 heat|| so I don't really have any use for the companion besides final boss

analog sentinel
#

The only boon that I need is common sadge

#

Reroll life

balmy ginkgo
#

is bullrush considered an attack?

#

if you take attack defelct does it affect bullrush?

surreal beacon
#

yep

tepid plover
#

yes

balmy ginkgo
#

coolbeans

analog sentinel
#

what builds are good for Chiron?

bright lance
#

@tepid plover would you recommend skelly or shady if I'm trying to use it for ||hades?||

analog sentinel
#

I'm basically spamming Aphro + Arte every round sadge

bright lance
#

@analog sentinel I just did that exact run with Chiron too lol

tepid plover
#

||shady|| is S+ tier, i have the ability to use all, and still use it

analog sentinel
#

I'm going to try to RNG Consecutive + Relentless Volley

bright lance
#

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

analog sentinel
#

Yeah I got my fastest clear with that build

#

Together with Aphro Attack + Artemis Special

#

around 17min

bright lance
#

if only you could reroll hammers

knotty karma
#

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?

tepid plover
#

gifting bouldy only ||gives you a boon|| you dont need this at all for story purposes

bright lance
#

got it thx

tepid plover
#

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?

analog sentinel
#

em = extreme measures

tepid plover
#

extreme

#

lmfao

analog sentinel
#

oh opps

tepid plover
#

all good, i forget all the time

analog sentinel
#

Triple Shot + Point Blank seems like a pretty neat combo PtiloThink

knotty karma
#

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.

tepid plover
#

hangover is op

analog sentinel
#

Meg and Lernie gets trivialised so hard with the DPS of Chiron

knotty karma
#

Oh, yes. Whatever causes the Doom Burst (I forget the name) are SUPER overpowered.

analog sentinel
#

Athena Duo Boon

#

Merciful End?

#

I think

balmy ginkgo
#

both of you were wrong

#

holding bullrush doesnt reflect

tepid plover
bright lance
#

So what's the best hangover duo boon to aim for with Chiron?
Low Tolerance, Curse of Nausea, or Splitting Headache?

slate jetty
#

why not all 3 dusa

analog sentinel
#

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

knotty karma
#

Talked to Artemis.
"blah blah blah ... ...you see Achilles, tellhimhe'sthebestforme~!"
I like how her thirst for Achilles just blurts out towards the end.

tepid plover
#

lmfao

#

what a simp she is

balmy ginkgo
#

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

tepid plover
#

well it does matter

#

your build matters too

dusk mantle
#

Im giving up with this Guan Yu. So terrible.

knotty karma
#

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.||

unkempt sleet
#

The final boss is spoilers, please tag it

#

Thank

prisma cave
#

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

knotty karma
#

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.

unkempt sleet
#

Clearly you're not dash attacking enough

knotty karma
#

I didn't get a Dash boon. :(
That, and it was Ares, so I had to keep dashing faaaaar away.

prisma cave
#

With fists I pretty much just run magnet, so I can get some damage at a distance.

knotty karma
#

Haven't gotten that mod yet.

prisma cave
#

Though I really wanna try to go for a dodge build

knotty karma
#

dodge build
Ah, Payday 2 flashbacks.

unkempt sleet
#

You don't need a dash boon, you just need to stunlock people by dash attacking behind them

knotty karma
#

Wait, is ||Theseus|| stunlockable?

unkempt sleet
#

No, you just need to keep at him

knotty karma
#

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.

prisma cave
#

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.

knotty karma
#

Yeah, Shield stunlock is great (as is Spear), but.

hollow hazel
#

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

tepid plover
woven cipher
#

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 :(

unkempt sleet
#

Hermes knows your tricks

balmy ginkgo
#

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)

tepid plover
#

F

balmy ginkgo

should higher their respawn timer / lower their HP significantly
