raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:33 PM

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

No he didn't

Theseus abandones Ariadne.

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

dio literally stole theseus' wife in myth haha
he left her on an island!

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 5:34 PM

Karp they kidnappe dhim!

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:34 PM

Dio steps in after.

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

also, for general greek mythology discussion please move to #off-topic-discussion, and remember to keep it clean and be mindful of the more sensitive subjects of myth! use spoiler tags

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

Like kinda sucks getting being put to rule the underworld like.

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

Theseus decided that Ariadne helping him showed she was disloyal (she betrayed her dad and bro to save Theseus), so he ditches her.

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

The pirates kidnapped Dionysus, were going to ransom him, when he scared most of them and they jumpedd overboard they begame dolphins

#

The one that was kind to him was spared, and I wanna say Dio gave him some cash

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

Instant best god

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

And yeah, let's stick to the game.

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

Dio DID cause the Midas thing I think tho

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

a lot of these stories have many different versions but i dont wanna go further off topic

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 5:35 PM

momus is best greek god

#

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

Whaaat?

indigo canopy Oct 20, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

dio did the midas thing

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

I really like the game version of these characters. I'd LOVE to see SGG designs for more Greek figures, even if they're only designs at this point. Apollo!

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

Did Posidion have any kids?

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

yes

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

Yes

#

Theseus amongst them

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

Ohhhh

quaint wind Oct 20, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

please move to #off-topic-discussion folks this is getting off topic

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

There's even some dialogue in Hades about that

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

Now it's on topic again lol

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

Where Zeus is like 'he's your son, Pos' and Pos is all 'lol no. Not acknowledging'

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

😂

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

What do you guys think Zag would become the god of?

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Blood

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

I do like how asterius is respectful

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

one of my favorite missions in this game is when poseidon tells you to beat up theseus lol

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Blood

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Ooo god of blood

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Blood, maybe Rebirth/Life too

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

big vibes

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

That’s cool

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

zag is the god of videogames duh

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Said that himself

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

but yeah god of life/blood

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Rebirth could be cool

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Isaac

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Good mix of Hades/Pere

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

He does get reborn an AWFUL LOT

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Also I find It cute when ||you go into Hades room and you see a second pillow on his bed||

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Well it's not like they can die

#

The picture in there is so cute

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

The game does heavily imply Zag as the god of blood. I love Achilles's thoughts on the matter in Than's bio.

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

||Also I would think Hades would have a bigger bed than that||

#

Death incarnate and the god of blood? Sounds good to me

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

Nah he's a practical dood

#

Weirdest combo> Death incarnate and the god of blood? Sounds good to me
@mortal isle

😂😂

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

Meg, god of pain

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

Pain.

#

And she loves giving it

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

As I said

#

Goddess of it

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

What happened with her and her sisters?

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

Related to what?

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

As far as why they are so... estranged

#

||Like, when Meg told Dusa that she is more of sister then they are||

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Have you interacted with tisiphone or alecto?

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Yea

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Explains itself imo

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Ah

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

Alecto loves pain a bit too much

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

So basically alecto doesn’t care and Tisi....

#

Murder

#

Ya know.

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

She also said something along the lines of their sisters occupation changing them I think

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

Ohhh

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

I think one of the lines about Than and Zag is that they're drawn in part because ||'who does death belong with, if not with blood; with life'||

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

Yea!

#

I saw that

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

Adam and eve but the 2020 Version

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

That’s why Than/Zag is the most like... canon for me

#

Meg is cool but

#

And Dusa uh.

#

She’s sweet

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

I'm for zag and Artemis

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

That’s also cute

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

Dusa's ||aromantic|| tho

#

Artemis is so insanely qte

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

Dusa is nice but I prefer lovers with more than 1/6th of a body

#

Physically I mean

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

The birds on her bow is so cute

#

Also yea

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

dusa and zag are ||friends for all eternity||

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

Not body shaming 😂

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

Than/Zag/Meg is the most 'canon' for me.

#

It's what you get if you follow all the routes through, even Dusa's

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

You bodyist

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:46 PM

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:46 PM

I still need to get that double bedroom scene. Tch. RNG is mean.

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

You make me non physically sick
(Saying physically sick would be bodyist)

#

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

I’m still waiting for the game to let me do Thans favor

#

Everytime I see him I get so excited

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

Prepare for rng

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

Yep

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

oh, um
Than ||doesn't really have a favor, you just have to beat him in challenges and talk to him afterwards a few times||

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

Only got the achilles favor done for the last ||companion||now

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

As I said

#

Rng

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

I only have skellys atm

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

i got ||meg's companion|| first

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

The dialogue system is a bit ffed in that regard

#

Skelly was my first

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Skelly is the easiest probably

#

Since you are guaranteed to see him

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

skelly needs an investment the others don't though

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Oh true

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Dusa does

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

oh yeah

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

I can't recall if I got Meg or Than's first...

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Who has the best companion

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Depends.

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Sysiphus

#

Since he has Bouldy

#

bouldy

#

Look at that smile

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:50 PM

ive been running meg for speed and achilles for heat

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

😂

#

And gotcha

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

meg can be annoying though
sometimes the bosses just dodge!

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

I’ll have to get them all and find out

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

Achilles is just great, ||because I adore that he and Pat get to fight together again, for something they care about. ||❤️

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Achilles is good
I like Bouldy because I seriously like Bouldy
Also the damage combined with the heal and Ressources is nice

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

sometime bosses just dodge all of them

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Skelly is... nice for taunting Theseus

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

WAIT DO THey??

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

yeah

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

just gotta get used to each ones cast time

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

i don't think they can dodge ||dusa or skelly||

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Ooo I can’t wait to see that

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

but the rest yes

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

achilles is usually pretty good at hitting his mark though

#

rarely misses

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

idk, i've just had bad experiences with meg

#

but hers is the only one i've maxed out so i can't switch over easily

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

thats fair sometimes i'll accidentally hit an impermeable phase with it

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

||Does Euri and Ore get to see each other?||

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:52 PM

thats fair sometimes i'll accidentally hit an impermeable phase with it
that's a danger with just about anything imo

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

||they even sing together when you meet them||

raven lava Oct 20, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

learning when the bosses go impervious is part of the game

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

||Be prepared for good riddance to get sicker||

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

it happens less now haha im about to hit 250 runs

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

||I was happy for Euri and Orphy but I was DELIGHTED for Patrochilles 'cause Achilles is just so lovely in this game. He's learned so much, and he cares so much about Zag.||

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

Generally bosses either go impervious at 1/3 or1/2 gone

#

2/3

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

usually its because im trying to time it for that extra 1/2 second of run time

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

Also

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 5:54 PM

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

There's a few little arcs with Theseus and Asterius.

#

||At one point, Theseus grows upset that Asterius may like you too much and over the next few encounters, he doubts his own bond and gets very upset. At one point he even shuts up entirely. He says NOTHING. No boasts. He's so sulky||

austere stag Oct 20, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

My favorite is when ||Theseus gets an existential crisis about Asterius possibly liking Zag more than him ||

Unless I get the upgrade that doesn’t make me have to reload

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

yea rail is my least fav aswell

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

i love rail

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

I love Hades Spear lol

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

Bow is my fav

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

just took some getting used to

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

Unless I get the upgrade that doesn’t make me have to reload
@mortal isle set reload to L and codex to R3

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

the rail go fast

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

And Rail I love using as a launcher

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

Makes it way better

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

Being able to punch stuff is cool

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

On switch

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

I play on switch

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

I play on PC

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

It’s fun but my least favorite

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

Hades is the best roguelike for me, although I am playing it mostly because I LOVE THE STORY AND CHARACTERS SO MUCH ❤️

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

You don't need codex mid combat and reloading with L is so much nicer

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Actually I think shield is my least favorite

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Changed the weapon for me in Switch

#

Shield is best

#

❤️

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

what about your guys' fav

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

While I like the idea of the shield I hate the toss special

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Wait what now? Vo1di?

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Cause then I have no weapon

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Ohhh

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Spear, Sword, and Rail are fgavs

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Did you map the reload as L?

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Yep

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

I need to try that

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

I have special mapped as my side mouse button on my gaming mouse

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

Hated rail before that

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

Bow and.... spear

void vigil Oct 20, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

hey, lets not make identity jokes please

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

Spear with Zags aspect maxed out is 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

Cause for me the rail is a grenade launcher that happens to fire bullets

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

I love how strong I feel

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

Unless I get a good Doom attack boon

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

yeah i like zag spear

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

It's supposed to be a synonym for maining/loving chaos shield

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

favourite weapon is blade with arthur aspect

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

It’s so pretty

#

Slow, but strong

proper reef Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

I have to get used to the hidden aspects

proper reef Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

arthur is m favorite too

#

also heads up

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

I just can't like any spear aside hidden asoect

#

Aspect

proper reef Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

during wind up animation for your special

#

you can dash without interrupting

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

||Arthur|| Is a really intesting one

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

And that's because it's dash and special spam

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

Oh really?

proper reef Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

yeah

#

try it its super good

#

early on

#

and honestly

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

Oo

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

Yep

proper reef Oct 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

throughout the entire game

#

cuz you're flying across the screen with a fat aoe special

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

Also I’m not a fan of the spears’ hidden aspect tbh

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

best heat ive done wiht it is only 7 tho which is my best heat run overall so

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

I love building tankiness on the hidden aspectt

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

You can even start up special, them dash twice before it lands

#

Negates the slowness it has

proper reef Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

yeah thats what i do ^

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

That’s cool

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

Also skips the jump animation into dash animation

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

I just play defend the castle

proper reef Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

and once enemies start winding up to hit u

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

The zone, weakness, as well as Dio/Athena damage stuff

proper reef Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

do the same thing again to a diff clsuter of enemies

#

what are your guy's fave excalibur build?

dense prism Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

rail 4th aspect is a meme

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

Super Soaker

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

artemis attack with heart rend

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

excalibur with deadly strike is pretty nice

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

I like rail 4th

proper reef Oct 20, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

ive been aiming towards crit with artemis boon

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

I haven’t unlocked the last 3 yet

#

What do you need to do to get them?

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

Or deflect build with athena

deep geyser Oct 20, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

Crit special on the gun is stupid fun

proper reef Oct 20, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

wait whats deaadly strike again

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

Anime style deflecting the slowed projectiles in my circle

#

Artemis attack

proper reef Oct 20, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

ahh kk

#

is crit pretty much the best to build on excalibur

mortal isle Oct 20, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

How do you get the bow, gloves and rail 4th aspects

void vigil Oct 20, 2020, 6:17 PM

theres a pinned message in #h1-story-discussion with instructions

||Invest 5 blood in leveling an aspect that's not zag||

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 6:19 PM

Didn't seem to work for me for sword

nope

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 6:26 PM

They're super cute

they are like omega cute and i'd like the Artemis one for my avatar :D

Than and Meg are my fave characters... but I love the little Ares one. I'd nab that xDD

if anyone has the set i would also like to have them 🙂

celest beacon Oct 20, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

Is Nourished Soul not increasing the healing of Cursed Slash supposed to be intended?

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

might not reach the breakpoint since cursing slash heals for 2 and nourished soul usually is +30-40%

#

it increases draining upper for fists iirc

robust sundial Oct 20, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

just got the poseidon/dionysus duo boon (every boon is purple or better) at the end of Asphodel... Smashing !

hardy escarp Oct 20, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

What's the difference between a normal and perfect catch and how do I get them?

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

you have to pull in 0.3 seconds after the light

#

or within 0.3 seconds

old valve Oct 20, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

there are 3 fish rarities per zone, with a normal catch you are have chances of getting the uncommon, or get the common one. With a perfect catch, you are guaranteed the uncommon one, with a chance for the rare.

tame sigil Oct 20, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

I think this game would be a great arcade game

#

like it has its own box and stuff

#

what do you guys think?

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

I dunno, you need quite a few hours on it to trigger/unlock all it content.

granite ether Oct 20, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

A post end game file with everything unlocked could work maybe possibly

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

The story and characters are the best part though. I'd be sad not to have that!

tame sigil Oct 20, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

exactly

#

yeah but we are talking about an arcade look to it i think it would be cool to have that just watching people try to get the high score would be fun too

inland shell Oct 20, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

I would personally hate to see any kind of leader board or point system. It defeats many aspects of the game and encourages a meta when it 100% does not belong in this game

#

And there's a reason "arcade-difying" games is unheard of, especially in the age of COVID @tame sigil

granite ether Oct 20, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

I don't really think Hades would benefit in any meaningful way from having a leaderboard system

wicked aspen Oct 20, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

Same

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

I don't mind leaderboards... so long as they don't gate me from content! xDD

inland shell Oct 20, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

@brisk trail it should but it wont last long to even notice I think

wicked aspen Oct 20, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

Plus with god mode being a thing, it could cause elitism between the god moders and the non god moders

inland shell Oct 20, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

@austere jacinth leaderboards almost never gate anything but create a glass ceiling effect that hurts the long term viability of a game and overemphasis "performance"

#

@brisk trail yeah test it for us

#

high heat is enough

#

time isnt the only metric in game play satisfaction

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

Eh, depends on the game. Leaderboards tend not to hurt the games in which I've seen them. But most of those games are PvP. I have no objection to leaderboards in something like Hades... even though I'd never get on one.

#

There are many other features I'd prefer though.

inland shell Oct 20, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

Yeah leaderboard is the last thing i want to see cross minds if more dev time is ever committed @austere jacinth

#

@brisk trail wow really?

#

must be huge?!

#

i wonder if any other effects update their damage if you get a buff

#

like certain casts or specials

#

the scaling is pretty steep so you need a high level one too

#

and a speed bonus, lots of conditions so a good effect

#

Nice, I just never see Rush Delivery on my Hermes' boons

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

Yeah leaderboard is the last thing i want to see cross minds if more dev time is ever committed @austere jacinth
@inland shell Yeah. I have no objection to leaderboards, but no desire for them either. I'd prefer any hypothetical dev time go towards things that all players (or at least most of them) would get some use out of.

inland shell Oct 20, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

it says attack only

#

but test it?

#

yeah strike is the attack

#

@austere jacinth I am dreaming of a Hades part 2 through the same game. The world building is awesome

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

Ha, what would you put in it? 😄

wicked aspen Oct 20, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

I just love there interpretation of Greek mythology

inland shell Oct 20, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

@austere jacinth more characters and a new epic story that is inspired some underappreciated mythos.

#

@wicked aspen same. its reminds me of the balance and greatness of ATLA

#

@brisk trail hmmmmmmmmm

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

Which characters and myths do you have in mind, Auroreon?

wicked aspen Oct 20, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

Personally?

#

I wanna see zagreus get like, sub contracted to, idk, the Egyptian underworld

south lava Oct 20, 2020, 8:22 PM

Somehow Zagreus has an adventure in the Spelunky universe.

i'm assuming god mode is for if i cant beat a super tough challenge and want to continue the story? dont think ill need it but im curious

dense surge Oct 20, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

Make it multiplayer battle royale

heavy breach Oct 20, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

it gives you 2% + defence everytime you die methinks

abstract jackal Oct 20, 2020, 8:24 PM

and hades feels kinda similar to classic god of war anyway

dense surge Oct 20, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

Kapp

abstract jackal Oct 20, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

oh thats pretty fair if that 2% is all god mode is

wicked aspen Oct 20, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

It gives you a flat 20 percent damage resistance, then adds 2 percent everytime you die with god mode on

#

Up to 80 I think

abstract jackal Oct 20, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

good design

south lava Oct 20, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

In Hades X God of War, you play as Skelly and have your boyo, Zagreus, backing you up.

I already have a "stand around and get beaten up" simulator

abstract jackal Oct 20, 2020, 8:25 PM

i was slighly worried god mode would just remove all challenge but it seems like a good way to make the game that much easier for people who want to see everything it has to offer

glad cairn Oct 20, 2020, 8:27 PM

Well, the devs are taking a break for now

I guess they'll decide later on

I'm OK with waiting. I came from gunge on lmao

abstract jackal Oct 20, 2020, 8:28 PM

the success of the game most likely means we might get a small bit of extra content

Whether they want to make a new game, or continue supporting this one

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:28 PM

I never really liked what God of War did with the myths it explored. And Zag is WAY nicer than Kratos xDD

abstract jackal Oct 20, 2020, 8:28 PM

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:28 PM

I'm not saying the game is buggy or anything, I just want more. I'd even be OK with paid dlc

abstract jackal Oct 20, 2020, 8:29 PM

if anything maybe one more god or one more weapon is all id be fine seeing, maybe more enemies or room variations if we're lucky

glad cairn Oct 20, 2020, 8:29 PM

Maybe zag kills all the Greek gods, kratos style (joking)

heavy breach Oct 20, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

ok, more room variations would be nice

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:29 PM

They could add in more gods and boons, or add levels that are cleaned up Asphodel, or on the surface even, or more 'alternate bosses', more weapons, oh and ||let me take care of that garden T.T||

I actually love the romance options we have and I'm not sure I want more. They just feel right for Zag! xDD

#

More bonds and dialogues though. Gimme more Hermes and Charon insights, maybe drop in Apollo? Hera?

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

Apollo would be a cool drop

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:36 PM

He's probably the biggest absence, as far as the gods go, I think.

fresh magnet Oct 20, 2020, 8:36 PM

why cant i date hypnos

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:37 PM

how about a chair

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

Hypnos seems too soft for Zag. xDD

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

Zagreus isn't hard or calloused

devout wigeon Oct 20, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

What would Hera boons even look like?

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

Nah, but he likes kinda career-focused, severe people it seems.

devout wigeon Oct 20, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

Just massive damage with no effects at all?

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

Hmm, Hera's tricky. I imagine quite a strong vengeance stuff though xDD

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

Isn't Hera more the Greek God of Magic?

devout wigeon Oct 20, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

i thought that was Circe

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

Nah, Hecate is witchcraft, Hera is marriage, childbirth, pretection etc.

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

ah okay

#

Hecate is actually mentioned somewhere

#

idr where though

devout wigeon Oct 20, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

Hera boons give you orbiting followers like Binding of Isaac FeelsCellMan

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

Hecate is also Chthonic, so she could pop in to check on the House of Hades.

fresh magnet Oct 20, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

boon: you get a small zag that can deal damage

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

lol

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

She's also kinda wrathful. Hera is not to be trifled with, generally xDD

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

and yet in Greek myths she lets Zeus be a playboy

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

She doesn't 'let him'

devout wigeon Oct 20, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

She can't stop him

#

He's Zeus

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

Also, by Greek social standards, he was kinda acting within his rights. As was Hera in punishing the other women and their offspring. But that's for general discussion. In the Hades-verse, I think she'd probably get on with Zag. He's family, and he's no threat to her, and he's super-respectful to those who help him.

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

So I have 2 questions, and don't spoiler answers

#

has the narrator been revealed and has who hired Skele been revealed?

No, but there is a strong hint; yes, and other characters have further dialogue after you come to know.

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

well I've gotten VERY strong hints to who hired Skele

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

I know who did. xDD

#

who

#

tell me

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

I know it's between 1 of 2 people

fresh magnet Oct 20, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

tell meeeeeee

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

It's ||Charon||

fresh magnet Oct 20, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

shadeohboy

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

Not my theory

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

||Hermes also knew though.||

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

Cause according to ||Hermes|| dialogue it's either ||him or Hades||

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

||Skelly tells you outright who it is. Hermes will later tell you to keep it a secret.||

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

Hermes has already told me to keep it secret XD

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

Aight SGG hear me out. New weapon suggestion ||charon's oar||

fresh magnet Oct 20, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

dam

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

LOL

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

||Hermes and Charon have been 'professional associates' for a long, long time. Hermes doesn't want Charon in trouble.||

fresh magnet Oct 20, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

the range of that weapon tho wtf

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

Too OP

fresh magnet Oct 20, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

||comically large oar ||

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

||Hades couldn't do anything to Charon if he wanted||

humble quarry Oct 20, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

||charons oar|| but you can only ||say hhrrrnnnnngg||

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

Charon couldve singlehandedly ended the titans

#

||charons oar|| but you can only ||say hhrrrnnnnngg||
Sounds like a chaos boon

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

SO by the games definition, is Nyx a titan?

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

No

#

Shes the night

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

okay

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

||Hades would have Charon do something like file taxes, which would be horrible.||

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

I've seen some implications early on she may be

#

||Hades doesn't have control of Charon though. Him and Thanatos have individual duties as placed by Nyx herself||

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

||He still admonishes Than for helping Zag undermine him. He does the same with Nyx. Both stand their ground, but Hades is still displeased, and both Hermes and Charon seem to want Charon to avoid the summons.||

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

Ah okay

#

so I just haven't gotten all of the dialogue yet

#

is some of it locked to end game?

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

Also, I want more ||Hermes and Charon backstory like burning.||

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

like burning?

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

Very much, basically

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

oh okay

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

||Hades would have Charon do something like file taxes, which would be horrible.||
If anything itd be the other way around

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

A burning desire xDD

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

Charon holds the monopoly

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

with the burning in your loins you want more XD

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

Charon is a small (ahem) large business owner. Hades is the government.

#

The taxes...

#

xDD

proud monolith Oct 20, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

does anybody else play with a fightstick?

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

Yeah Hades can't do anything without Charon

heavy breach Oct 20, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

Hades on a flightstick would be so pure

proud monolith Oct 20, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

@heavy breach it feels very natural. I'm gonna have to make some Hades fightstick art.

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

Hades fighting game NAO

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

Hunter Dash looks so sick residentzag

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

||When admonishing Than, Hades acknowledges that there's no one who could replace him. The same is true of Charon. Hades is still the ruler though, and could make things more difficult should he so choose.||

#

Some of the gods wouldn't bother to fight you. Dio doesn't need to fight to destroy. And, well, Ares would never want the fight to end. xDD

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

||But remember that Hades is much like Zeus in that he thinks he deserves more than he actually does. He thinks he controls more of the underworld than he actually does||

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

||Absolutely true, and the game acknowledges that in several ways. However, he is still formidable and attracting his ire isn't a goal many have.||

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

WHat do you mean?

#

||I know Nyx is gradually trying to regain her position of master of her realm||

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

||No she isn't. She explicitly says she does not want to rule, that she was overwhelmed before Hades arrived and they came to an agreement.||

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Now I've gotten THAT text, but I still thought she was trying to get ||get a better position||. Is she stronger than Hades by default?

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

||Not really. She's not less powerful than him either. He has more direct authority though, and she's more than fine with that.||

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

what do you guys think just curios family favourite or priveleged status

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

?

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

the mirror upgrades

heavy breach Oct 20, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

family favourite for me

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

yea it was that for me for awhile but im using priveleged now and its pretty noice damage

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

I use family favorite cause I run approval process, but privileged status is better imo

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

time to have this discussion for the third time this week LOL

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

Both work, priveleged offers more if you run a long lasting debuff like Aphrodite

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

family favorite for most things for me unless i can get two debuffs on different attacks in tartsrus

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

Getting 2 status isn't hard

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

true

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

Along with either impending doom, or the other stackables

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

and you can get the 2 pretty early

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

its not but sometimes theres sometthing better

#

like if im going for dem fists merciful end im not gonna get two status by like

#

maybe elysium

#

and by then family favorite would have done more work overall

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

true

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

like sometimes getting two status isnt my objective

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

yea

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

and if it isnt my objective id rather not have to pick extra boons just to get PS

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

but when u get the 2 the damage boost is better it would take like 8 boons to get the 40% with family

#

yea

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

yeah when you get there

versed marten Oct 20, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

alright thats all i wanted to know i gtg thanks for everyones stand on it

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

just depends on the build for me

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

So is it just me or is ||Artemis'|| ||support fire|| insane on pretty much any build

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

Is more effective in fast hitting stuff

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

It's hilarious on the rail.

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

It loses value on slow hitting

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

pewpewpewpewpewpewpewpew

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

As it does the same dmg

heavy breach Oct 20, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

Haven't had a run where it's not good

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

Even on slower hitting weapons it's not too bad though

#

It's better on faster weapons but even on slow stuff it really helps

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

Yeah is definitely not bad, but some stuff is better

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

I probably wouldn't stick it on ||Excalibur.||

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

Like this^

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

Yeah it'd probably fall off a bit there ngl

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

Exactly

heavy breach Oct 20, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

Man, I just love Artemis boons in general

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

But in most cases i've seen it it's done pretty good so far

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

I like most of the boons in this game. They all seem to have their uses. ^^

#

Some I like more than others.

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

I had the multibounce ||shield|| a few runs ago and Just pressing Q once inflicts doom on the entire room with another support fire arrow every single bounce

#

The only real god I have yet to find a good use out of is ||Poseidon||

heavy breach Oct 20, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

Doom ||shield|| is what got me to the final boss

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

I'm sure he's good, I just haven't really used any builds requiring him yet.

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

Oh, I love him. His dash is my fave.

heavy breach Oct 20, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

I still haven't picked up the exclusive access boon because literally everytime I've seen it was on the last level

brisk trail Oct 20, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

exclusive access boo?

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

Is that one of his boons?

unique kestrel Oct 20, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

uh i pressed f10 to report a bug and now the game is non-responsive?

heavy breach Oct 20, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

it's a duo boon with dionysius

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

@unique kestrel That's happened to me you may have to close it

heavy breach Oct 20, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

all boons from there on are rarer or something along those lines

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

It should restart you at the chamber you're currently in

unique kestrel Oct 20, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

...it started working again as i closed it?

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

Strange

#

Every bit or so it bugs out for me as well

#

Sometimes it'll resolve itself but sometimes the game shuts down or asks for a bug report

amber garden Oct 20, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

F10 is the default button for bug reports.

#

It opens a different window and you need to deal with it before moving on. Alt-tab and find it.

unique kestrel Oct 20, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

i'm aware i've reported bugs before

#

the other window did not open

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

Yeah F10 doesn't always work for me

#

Sometimes it does but not usually

amber garden Oct 20, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

It does, just sometimes in the background.

#

Don't ask me why lol

unique kestrel Oct 20, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

yeah two separate processes were showing up in task manager but only one was accessible

#

i lost the progress on the run 😦

tawdry flower Oct 20, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

@neat yoke Poseidon Special + Chiron Bow is really fun. You can get extra boons for increased knock-back, extra damage to bosses, explosions when enemies hit walls, or causes Rupture.

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Oh wow that's actually a great idea

#

Also irrelevant but ||I just took Charon's money and HE'S A BOSSFIGHT WHAT?||

tawdry flower Oct 20, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Good luck!

Too late for that

It was the first shop in tartarus lol

#

That's certainly fun times lol

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

I had an ||Athena|| boon and that's it lmao

tawdry flower Oct 20, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

I guess that’s fair. I’ve won that before, but I can see that being an issue if you weren’t setup or expecting it yet

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

||I feel bad stealing from him. He's a bro.||

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

I've never even seen that option available before

tawdry flower Oct 20, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

I excuse it away due to ||what he gives you when you win||

#

It’s only available in the shops that are not immediately before the boss fights

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

||Wait a moment he's HYPNOS' BROTHER?"||

tawdry flower Oct 20, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

And then it’s a 22% chance of showing up

#

Yup.

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

This is some new dialogue, wow.

tawdry flower Oct 20, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

Hypnos/Thanatos/Charon are all brothers, and your foster brothers

#

Meg also views Nyx as a mother figure.

#

Makes 2/3 of your romance options kinda awkward

heavy breach Oct 20, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

||woah, that makes some interactions, pretty weird||

#

||ah well, ancient greece, amirite?||

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

They're not blood related, so it's a step up from the actual myths

#

I'd like to see more of Nyx's children and how they get on with (or don't) with Zag.

tawdry flower Oct 20, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

They also hand-waved some of the awkward for ||Persephone|| and Hades.

#

Since she’s ||Zeus’s daughter|| in some myths

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

||I kinda wanna see the fates as personifications||

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

I'd like to see Moros.

#

DOOM

neat yoke Oct 20, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

||So Thanatos AND Meg AND you are more or less foster siblings, with the only remaining romance option an asexual medusa head?||

tawdry flower Oct 20, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

That sums it up nicely, yeah

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

||The timeframe is weird regarding Nyx raising them, along with how they were actually raised. Than never considers Zag a brother. Nor does Meg.||

split jackal Oct 20, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

is there a hades any% category?

#

aka from a new save

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

||Nyx seems to have raised them separately. Meg was raised with her sisters, Than with his brothers, but Zag wasn't raised alongside them.||

topaz needle Oct 20, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

Guys Nyx is t-posing in announcements. I'm scared.

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

It's a roguelite with overarching story and character development. Big downside is if you don't like roguelite gameplay ?

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

Pro: it's the best game ever
It only costs 25 bucks

Con: It costs 25 bucks

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Each run is different from the next, when you die you restart at the beginning. You earn resources that will help you get stronger for future runs

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

It has the strongest story and characters of any roguelite I've played.

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

It's a visual novel and a fishing simulator....oh you also kill stuff aswell

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

The combat is fairly fast paced, but nice. The difficulty can be adjusted to your liking

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

Oh yeah, there's a LOT of that

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

You're sorta forced to play more to gather resources

#

and mop up character development

#

I'm ~200 hours in still more dialogue and things to do, but I'm slow

#

There are many playstyles available, build variation is great

#

If on Steam, give it a try before the 2 hours and see if you like it

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Replayability is probably one of the main points

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Oh yeah. I need to BOND WITH EVERYONE T.T

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

One downside is that some things aren't really explained or are said in passing

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Hades was one of the first games I played blind in a long time

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 10:11 PM

I wonder if will get new aspects down the line? Man I already new ones for each of them.

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

but exploring and learning is what we do

#

Overall highly rated game though

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

I didn't go in totally blind, as I'd seen a lot of the character designs and watched a GLOWING review. But that was about it xDD

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

The story is fairly well explained, some of the mechanics is what I meant

zealous galleon Oct 20, 2020, 10:13 PM

I'm so happy I checked this game out

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

It's 11 out of ten in my book mate, totally worth it

zealous galleon Oct 20, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

I almost wasn't gonna do it but I'm happy I did

gusty slate Oct 20, 2020, 10:13 PM

but I think it's designed for you to explore and learn about the world that is Hades

how many people let the fates dictate which weapon they choose by only choosing the one that gives +darkness?

do i use bouldy for farming runs

#

yes right

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 10:50 PM

Something from a mythos and culture we don't yet have, for sure. Maybe Gungnir Spear?

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 10:50 PM

gungnir would be cool

Egypt is tricky because their weapon was MAGIC

dense prism Oct 20, 2020, 10:53 PM

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

Words are their superpower and there aren't any 'special god-weapons' as there are in a lot of other legends/mythologies/religions.

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

Imagine stygius as a samurai sword that has a charge attack where he sheath his blade before attacking

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

Something like the Masamune might work but it's known for its creator/smith more than it's wielder.

||Lucifer does wield heavenly fire, however.||

Maybe he's aspect is more related in his spirit or philosophy.

#

What about Muramasa?

#

The blade that hungers blood, perfect I tell ya

mortal dawn Oct 20, 2020, 10:59 PM

#

5 flame wheels rooms in a row. Just let me play the game amwhy
I know how to avoid taking damage against them but only dashing for 5 rooms is boring

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 10:59 PM

#

Isnt muramasa like Japanese stuff?

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 10:59 PM

#

Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi was Susanoo's sword, and later Amaterasu's.

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 10:59 PM

#

Wouldn't be the only thing that hungers for zagreus

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

I'd pick a figure before a weapon. Masamune is the smith, and we're looking for wielders. ||Lucifer didn't use a gun, and Naegling was a sword, not shield.||

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

@tepid plover Yes

weary urchin Oct 20, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

@mortal dawn thats what those 70 coins are for

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

But how about Muramasa eh? A sword forged with evil intent that hungers blood

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

That's the sword though, and we need a specific wielder.

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

But the last aspect of stygius was a weapon too though

tepid plover Oct 20, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

is zag not a worthy wielder for you?

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:04 PM

||It was the aspect of Arthur, who was a legend himself.||

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

Okay fair point, how about Hachiman the god of war?

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

Ares

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

Japanese ares

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

Yeah but ares would have a priority since he doesn't even have one as of noe

#

Afaik

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

He's a god of archery too, so he'd work for the bow.

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

Definitely could see that in corronact

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:08 PM

#

It'd also be pretty neat to get a Japanese aspect that wasn't your typical samurai sword.

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

But..but..I love katanas. It could have a sheath unlike the other ones were zag playstyle specialized in counters

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

That'd be neat, but it'd probably not work for a god of archery like Hachiman, you know?

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

He is also the god of war Soo...
I mean maybe the sword summons Hachimans arrow shot when you use it.

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

Not all gods of war need be swords, and not all the aspects are necessarily connected to war.

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

I'm just throwing suggestions here. I'm just trying to find any excuse to be a wandering samurai in the game.

#

Any better excuse for a samurai sword?

north pier Oct 20, 2020, 11:19 PM

isn't the ||second sword|| a katana variant

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:20 PM

#

Not really.

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

Kinda has more of a Aztec vibe rather than a katana

quaint hatch Oct 20, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

Mayan dagger

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

Nemesis is a thick, curved blade and a flat end. It didn't strike me as Aztec or Japanese tbh. But it looks cool

north pier Oct 20, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

oh it's an uruk hai blade

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

It's a Mayan dagger? Man what an odd dagger, not having a tip and all

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

Arent Uruk-Hai blades straighter? Ah, still, it's not a katana.

Maciejowski Falchion

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

So any suggestions for a figure for the samurai stygius?

south lava Oct 20, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

That's what looks closest to Nemesis sword that I've seen so far. The name is unusual, but the Maciejowski Falchion definitely has a similar vibe.

dense prism Oct 20, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

susano has a sword

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

I think jumping straight to the top of the food chain to the likes of Amaterasu might work.

#

Susanoo has a couple of swords, I think.

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

@dense prism but it ain't a katana

dense prism Oct 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

ok fair

south lava Oct 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

Amaterasu isn't known for having a sword. Susan'oo is definitely depicted with a sword often.

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

Susanoo gave her one of his swords, I believe.

#

But yeah, still associated more with him.

dense prism Oct 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

yeah ig the kusanagi isnt a katana

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:26 PM

Neither's the Totsuka by the sound of it. Another double-edged blade.

south lava Oct 20, 2020, 11:30 PM

You don't even need to use a god for the aspect name. After all Beowulf wasn't a god and he still has an aspect.

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

At this point, I'll be ok with having the aspect of Anime. Weilding the weapon gives you new weird conversation lines with the npcs

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:32 PM

I heard something along the lines of Hi-Rez thinking about adding Muhammed

south lava Oct 20, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

Not really, it's more that making fun of a currently relevant religion tends to be frowned upon regardless of which one it is. And also having the depiction of a corpse on a shield that you throw around.

#

And the implication that you're using the corpse to block attacks.

karmic eagle Oct 20, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

Ain't Jesus shields humanity from harm? I'd take as a compliment and not as a offense

Also, Aphrodite is NOT androgynous. She's very feminine in her design and posing, and in how she presents herself. She does seem to be more of a matchmaker for Zag than interested in him personally though.

She looks pretty darn feminine to me. Obviously in her body, where all the design language is curves and 'S' shapes, which are traditionally feminine forms. But also in her face. She's covering her jawline though.

Gay was a trend there

austere jacinth Oct 20, 2020, 11:58 PM

I don't really think it was intentionally ambiguous.

#

The way her body's posed and the design language is explicitly feminine. I'm not talking about her attributes here so much as her presentation. She's meant to read as female.

I can definitely see Zeus claiming he's the oldest because he's now the "First" one to not be in dad's stomach

Zeus does like to act as alpha/omega

even in hades

sudden dirge Oct 21, 2020, 12:08 AM

Because Zeus.

Was gonna say Poseidon's being laid back would have been a play on the middle kid being chill

Demeter came after Hestia... although was 'un-swallowed' before her >.>

I don't do 'waifu'. But I'm a big fan of the Than/Zag/Meg triad, so... I guess Meg?

karmic eagle Oct 21, 2020, 12:10 AM

Fair choice

The others have no self control and lack the ability to perceive anything more than murder respectively

austere jacinth Oct 21, 2020, 12:12 AM

They all do unwilling torture as a job.
