by doing god mode
took me 2 days and a half
Its not cheating
Alright, then do your own thing
Its in the game for that reason
I personally like to suffer
anyone have any good builds?
Lmao
It's so game journalists can play the game :p
like im using poseidon sword
But God Mode is always an option!
Ask in #h1-builds-and-combat
ok
anyone have any good builds?
@hearty bramble Yeah, I grab the boons that deal damage and use those
how much blood do you have lynx?
Athena Dash and Call are definitely what you want to be doing if you're struggling
Probably 1
I can suggest some build that makes life easier
Crystal Meme best build
thats not really helpful information lol
There's a good amount of builds, any specific weapon?
but congrats
I was getting to that
@hearty bramble are you the spanish streamer?
oh sorry
if you look above the bobber rather than at it, you will not be fooled by the fakes
Stygian sword with the lifesteal upgrade from a daedelus hammer is pretty nub friendly
is it really? it's sorta risky
Poseidon is also a really easy god to build around just slam people into walls for memes
2 health on hit per attack really mitigates it I find
or just have 3 dash and artemis cast, spam cast and run
I hate cursed slash
let me explain why
first off, it doesn't work on dash strikes
which is a big issue, since the default sword combo is slow
second, even if you do hit with that combo, it's slow so the flat healing won't matter much
it's definitely most effective on arthur
Comes down to how well you can balance dodging and combat I guess
the health penallty becomes less severe and the attack can actually heal a lot if it hits multiple enemies
even then, I'm not a fan
i thought it was good lol
there is an exception
The jumping special gave me anxiety
if you get flurry slash and cursed slash, it is great
it's good if you're good - a wise man
^
it's bad if you're good lol
It depends on the user
i just bought hades-
hi! welcome to this amazing game
idk how long it’ll take to download bc my internet isn’t the best
Welcome to one of my favorite games!
it's a fairly big game
Hope you enjoy your time!
pretty masterpiece
alright artemis boon time
game is hard though
Artemis has the best boons change my mind
yes hard in a good way
Have they talked about how many patches they plan on deploying past 1.0?
Nope
how hard it is is entirely in the player's control
Just balances and bug fixes I believe, big content is to be confirmed or denied after their break
don't hold your breath though
i think at lower heat if u dash and attack a lot, if you know the game well, u can sorta spam into victory a bit maybe
but i think with more heat its different
i dont really like artemis attack but the other stuff, is good
Supergiant isn't a massive dev team so it's understandable if they just want to go onto they're next project
i like artemis attack depending on the weapon used
@alpine fulcrum try artemis with aspect of chiron bow
the crit on special + the homing melts about anything
uhh
hol up
i thought when having artemis blessing
i'd get that boon
i got daedalus
Hammer can do that
sometimes the starting room is daedalus, but artemis will show up
maybe i should level up green talents before finishing out fated authority
persuasion is way better
i switch green and red talents all the time rly like that aspect
I usually stick with the same ones
but u can turn poms/hearts/coins into boons
stubborn defiance seems hard to use but it seems can be beneficial
and even get double boon
rerolls are incredibly powerful
That can work too
rerolls very nice yea
especially when u trying to get "priveleged status" bonus triggered how you want
They both have their place
authority is fine but trust me, I've used both for a very long time
but without rerolls also ok
persuasion is way better
anyway my point is less about that and more that the fated talents cost so much i kinda want to buy everything else i might conceivably use first
now, some of hte green talents i probably wont use
Yeah that's fair
There's a prophecy though
persuasion also just requires less thinking LOL
ruthless reflex is hard to use to a benefit but it still good because there is a good chance you'll have enough mobility anyway
yeah its a bit easier to use persuasion to benefit
I played before ruthless reflex so I'm too used to the extra dash
I used ruthless reflex to train my dashing abilities lol, used it up to like 15 heat
for example if you have the hermes "sturdy and +100% speed after dash"
you need the extra dash a lot less
also if u use ranged weapons
I think the extra dash is invaluable, playing with 1 dash feels horrible
or just extra move speed or even extra dash already from hermes or weapon
on any dash strike build greater reflex is a must I think
yeah especially if u want to dash in
well
i use ruthless with dash strike on bow
no problem i think but better when u have extra speed or something too sometimes
depends if u can chill them also or something
ehh I guess it's fine
I main abyssal blood for slows
there should be a talent where you have zero dashes but a big damage boost or something
boiling blood gang
ruthless gives you damage and dodge
i use both boiling and abyssal
if you think I'm biased towards the left side mirrors, I think family favorite is better than PS like 80% of the time
it's 40% additive damage
you are strong early so
with FF you will always have 25% when your god pool is full
you can then gather something else like hearts or even just focus on 2 olympians or some amount
oh huh i thought there'd be more ranks of family favorite
but you can get close to 40% with FF no ?
on any artemis build I think priviledged status is off the table
does hermes count in family favorite? i was wondering that
yes
I thought so
pretty good tho
i mean that could give u enough overall damage then u go for something other
it sort of comes down to PS taking a lot more effort for a slightly greater reward
I'd rather not think about it
for stuff that already goes for 2 starus curses sure it's pretty good
priveleged status sometimes u can get it really early
but like if you expect me to take drunken dash or something for PS, no
it's a bit more niche yeah, but works wonders
and it can be rly good but depends how hard you end up making it to trigger
theres lot of options for PS
in any case it barely matters, I just think FF is more consistent
I need to try a PS pos cast build with zeus/dem
but imagine you run a build where you just focus on 2 or 3 olympians
and you get a nice strong PS trigger on that too
can be rly good
Yeah, FF is nice all-rounder though, less 'forced' into builds
right
I'm also just too lazy to force curses
easier to use FF
and like, why would I put mroe randomness into this game with randomness
its unlikely that you would get no trigger of PS at all
Eh it can be harder to trigger it sometimes
cause there are options with every single olympian i guess artemis the hardest
Artemis marked doesn't do so hot
well I am FF gang, can't betray my homies
i would use the olympian keepsakes more and ofc fated persuasion can help
Although Ares can probably get some big dooms with PS
i thought so ok @gusty slate
so yeah artemis the exception
yeah dooms with PS can be great
Hey everyone, I've been playing Hades for some time now, and while I still can do fresh runs and have fun - I am wondering what you guys build and like to play? Specific builds, tricks, etc?
it can be so strong early
tytytyty
I don't think I've ever had trouble getting PS to proc consistently, most of the time you end up with 2 debuffs naturally unless you're building for Artemis
family favorite means you have to take aphrodite boon if it comes up
as opposed to the correct play of avoiding her as much as possible
wait but aphrodite is probably the second best god on average
I just lost to final boss THREE times in a row. 😄
family favorite means you have to take aphrodite boon if it comes up
as opposed to the correct play of avoiding her as much as possible
excuse me

also you dont have to take it if it comes up
she has no dang clothes, its gros
I skip ares boons all the time with FF
I can't think of a single build which would actually be "bad" with aphrodite, and she's usually optimal or almost optimal for a lot of builds
also shes only good if you get hit
aphro has the highest % damage buff on her boons, of all the gods
deal
thats why i dont go there
even factoring in crit, aphro attack still out damages artemis attack
it's h i s t o r i c a l l y a c c u r a t e
though crit does scale better when combined with other boons
or mythologically accurate
historically people wore clothes
but shes based on a real person
in terms of how widely applicable gods are, I think athena is #1 and aphrodite is #2
you really can't go wrong with picking them up in any sort of build
crutch dash!
so i've discovered something about how run seeds are determined and it's...interesting
im mad at how good athena is
also athena shouldnt attack you on dual boon rooms, she should have the wisdom to be chill about you picking the other god
Aphrodite isn't 'based on a real person'. Based on a mythological god, yes, but they didn't always wear clothes.
Let's say you start a run with a non-god keepsake and you get Zeus. Let's say he comments about the rail.
if you give up and redo the run without doing anything he'll say the same thing.
however, if you equip the zeus keepsake and start the run he'll say something different
in fact. the keepsake seems to save a line. you'll get the same line you would have gotten if you had the keepsake on 5 runs later
Athena is wise, but she's also has the temper and sense of entitlement that all gods share. Especially those of her family xD
Also a war god, so, you know, fighting good~
athena is so cool goddess of strategy mwah
the greek gods are all based on the legendary chads and stacys of greece's archaic period
Eh, not so much.
testing the same with ares doesn't have the same effect so it might be Zeus exclusive. which is...strange
my game says 8 hours for download i really hope it won’t take that long oof
It shouldn't. Unless your internet is particularly shaky.
any tips for thesus and minotaur boss fight?
cuz ik im gonna die without a good plan
you know how to hide behind pillars right
easiest way to keep theseus from hitting you with the spear
I find it easier to go for Asterius first, and drag him behind pillars where Theseus can't spear you.
Know the timing on the spear throw helps too, the red indicator goes really bold when he throws
maybe sound que
biggest thing i hate about that fight is the bull charge, sometimes i can make him ram into a wall and sometimes it doesnt seem to work
dashing into him may work better?
You can get him to crash into pillars by dashing through them.
half hte time he just paths around the pillar
You need to dash through the pillar yourself rather than around.
going close to a wall then dashing into him can work too
things I figured out that let me win that
- You can dash right through pillars, Asterius can't and will whomp straight into them
- Asterius does two axe swings then jumps, dash away as he jumps (I go towards his current position), then you can get some hits in
careful with dashing through though, sometimes you do it too early and he'll go around
(Also Hermes extra dash/move speed boons help for that fight!)
wait who helps theseus if you have all the gods
You can't get all of them in one run
oh
dashing into him may work better?
@gusty slate that hadn't ever occurred to me! cool!
anyway my tip is make sure to get a demeter boon somewhere along the line because otherwise hell make a big hurricane and just stand in it like a jerk
I know some people said dashing into 'em works too
i found speed boons against them super helpful paired with fists if u have fists also use dash to ur advantage and run asterius into into pillars
dashing into them is a massive help if u do a weave type thing dashing in n out
less of an issue if you're not melee i guess
oh yeah speed is very helpful on that fight
you can also kinda just run him into the wall sometimes, if you figure out how to avoid damage from his other more predictable attacks you can kinda get away with a dubious "just keep moving moving moving eventually he'll screw up" strat
i just did their boss fight SHDHHS i won but died in styx so the strat i used is kinda fresh
did you lose DDs against them?
yeah definitely - once you beat them once it's much easier to fight them since u kno their patterns and strategies id also suggest taking on one at a time instead of trying to do both since it's much easier
i lost one DD tho i usually plan to lose DDs against them and final boss
i don't lose them through asphodel and tartarus tho since those have gotten super easy for me
the only randomness in the game i hate is whether or not im going to be able to get DDs back in styx
(including from boons)
GOD ME TOO
I holdon to a reroll to reroll wells sometimes
the elysium boss is really hard at first but once you get used to the attacks its not bad
asterius's attacks are all super telegraphed, and its mostly just a matter of practicing not getting hit by him in the boss fight or the miniboss room, and once you learn how to avoid spears you can mostly ignore theseus while you kill asterius
watch out for the tag team attack though
can reroll with uh... persuasion?
@gusty slate yes
its cute that if you fight him as a miniboss he's kinda hurt in the boss fight
tough thing for me is when I lose track of theseus and don't know which direction to dodge in
there are so many charon well items that im not sure rerolling it is a great idea though
you just gotta pay a little bit of attention to where he is
yeah i was kinda wondering if thats a good use of a reroll
yeah that's trye
when you can have 4 max
you can also just dash as soon as he throws the spear
I mean, it's probably not rational, but I do it lol
and if you time it correctly you'll dodge the spear even when you're not behind cover
4 is base max, can get more in a run through RNG
the real answer to T&A is athena
timing is still iffy for me idk why
I'm consistently half a second off and it's really annoying
took a lot of practice for me tbh
reflected spear back at him last time i fought him, it was good
I just look at the bold indicator above my head and hope I timed it right lol
My blind friend won his third victory on stream if anyone wants to watch it.
if you lob athena balls at him you dont even really have to time it well
athena deflect stuff is kinda ridiculous sometimes yeah
reflecting ||hades'|| attacks 
wait can you reflect the ||gigalazer||
wait can you reflect the gigalazer
lol no
(final boss is a spoiler in this channel though)
ok that would be dumb
new pfp is pog
ok that would be dumb
That would be veryyy fun though
Just constantly no u'ing the final boss
Bruh
lol i feel like i have nowhere to discuss the story since i'm midway through it
How many times have you won so far?
||Does seeing the end credits count as halfway through the story?||
four
Ok so the final ending goes like this
still need to win with gun and fists
Ok so the final ending goes like this
||You win and the final credits show up||
Yes
Man, I love fists and I hate gun
Unlocking that ||2nd aspect and just pulling foes in|| it's perfection
Meanwhile, gun half the time is just
I'm holding down the left mouse button, why aren't you dead yet
Sorry
Gun is a terrible weapon when you have no experience
The reloading feels clunky
using hestia aspect is all reload
I feel fine with the reloading, it's a bit hectic having to remember to reload it in the middle of dodging a bunch of nonsense
except when using hestia yeah
It's just a bit underwhelming when you're emptying clip after clip into an enemy and it just really slows down the encounter
I'm glad I'm not the only one finding the gun the hardest by far. I feel like a lot of the other weapons you can muddle through without a good sense for how to put together a build, but making bad gun builds by accident is much easier than bad fists etc ones?
I feel like the way to go is to focus on that Q
But that's a bit inconsistent against enemies who don't like staying in one place
Feels liek there's a lot of boons that are.... not necessarily wasted, but it's hard to have consistent damage output without careful decisions
If you want easy gun builds, just go Zeus attack
Percentage attack boons arent great on Rail
Hestia is really good I guess just because the damage boost is just needed
Dash attacks are key
Does it make any difference dash attacking on the Rail? Never felt any tbh
Not for damage, but it pops out 3 or so shots quicker
Oh right
Zeus makes sense. I had a good couple runs with the Eris 'eat the special' aspect then haven't really used it since
Ohh, that's cool about dash, I didn't realise!
Which, when you get Zeus or even Dio, helps out
But i rarely do that anyways
Dio, zeus, demeter
Compared to Fists
Rail and Fists are built fairly similarly
For reference, Eris rail is the fastest weapon for speedrunners currently, cause it deals the most damage the quickest
Or Sword
Unless you run Hestia, in which case you build like bow
So Rail is definitely good, just requires getting used to
Eris rail? still feels super underwhelming, is it seeded runs they use?
Nope
Eris is nutty because it boosts all damage
75% global damage boost
The bonus damage is applied to ALL damage
How is that not good
I think even in nonseeded rankings, eris is there
is this game worth buying?
Even Zeus bolts
oh i's global wow
eh, I've only had one eris run so far
Still not my playstyle but that's like one of the few without restriction boost
Eris is amazing
@wet wigeon no I hang out in the discord having a detailed convo about builds for games I hate
It really wants to be max rank though
and, anecdotal, I know, it was still taking multiple clips into an elysium chump with the damage boost and artemis crits
I need to find shotgun rail hammer again
Delta Chamber is good now, I hear
and, anecdotal, I know, it was still taking multiple clips into an elysium chump with the damage boost and artemis crits
@heavy breach Artemis attack on Rail isnt that great though
Zeus attack is A LOT more damage
Well yeah
Hear me out shower thought
yea, but it's what I had
You level up only one boon the athena boon that reduces damage taken
just straight up not great synergy with crits, noted
A crit with arty will deal like 40 damage, which is what a regular shot deals with Zeus boon
and you get bouldy's 1% reduction
special does better with arty
what is the maximum amount of damage reduction possible
and you get bouldy's 1% reduction
and you do it on God mode?
Rail and Fists are built fairly similarly
@split swift that surprises me!! I've had a good time with rail + scaling the damage one the special and spamming that for hitstun (especially with the hammer upgrade that does ground point/heal on kill)
oh yeah forgot god mode
@wet wigeon YES
Damage reduction is multiplicative, kai, not additive. You cannot get 100%
so something like 99% I imagine
Cluster Rockets is the way
Wait people actually use god mode?
So god mode over and over again will get you to 99% eventually
what about on non-god mode
Yeah nothing wrong with godmode
cuz you cant like, get the bonus defense
Wait people actually use god mode?
@delicate ember Some people cant even win WITH god mode
Cluster Rockets is the way
Going into a satry hallway and spamming the whole room with bombs
feels like you get lots of options for awesome single target/area melee damage that synergies really well with poseidon knockback etc.
im pretty sure god mode caps at 80%
so it would be athenas boom to the maximum possible level a single boon can get in a run and then bouldy's 1%
ah
from what I've heard
With sword legendary, and some defense boons can get some pretty high def boost
god mode defence caps at 80 yeah
Yeah it's just nigh impossible
What is the highest level you can get a boon
Lemme think, Sword legendary, Apro, Dio cast def, Athena?
80% defence, what a pipe dream
How far could you reasonably push a boon level in a run?
I think it's like 8?
I saw a yt thumbnail that was like LVL 34!!
Can get pretty high
which I'm pretty sure is dumb clickbait, but I haven't played enough to make sure
no cap we know of, just soft'capped by rng
The issue is the more you level the less effective it becomes
High level hangover isn't a problem
Mostly applying to % based boons
if you sold as many others as possible you could have poms, shop items, the keepsake that gives +1 every .... 5 lvls?
asphodel event for even more
is there a fixed set of boons you get per floor? you can sell at least 3 on leaving, probably at least one random purging pool in a room as well.
Does anyone know if the status effect with maimed strike on malphon is something that only has a certain chance to proc? I'm trying it for the first time and the application of it seems sporadic.
I didn't think it was %age based.
Should be guaranteed no?
is there a fixed set of boons you get per floor? you can sell at least 3 on leaving, probably at least one random purging pool in a room as well.
and constantly using fated authority until you get poms
Does anyone know if the status effect with maimed strike on malphon is something that only has a certain chance to proc? I'm trying it for the first time and the application of it seems sporadic.
@silent oriole It's only applied if you dash-special
Regular special wont do it
I found the timing/hitbox on the dash-special took a bit of getting used to
Thanks @quiet gull. That was it.
I recommend reading the tooltips for the 4th aspects carefully!
Man, getting people drunk by shooting arrows at them never gets old
@delicate ember My blind friends use god mode. They kind of have to. Asphodel and all...
does anyone know whether rare crop can hit a boon that is already heroic? 🤔
i believe it can, unfortunately
oof okay 😬 thanks!
why don;t you take it and tell us 
😦
well, you used to be able to pom up legendaries
wasn’t that just splitting bolt, which was bugged?
yeah was splitting bolt, it was a bug
Is|| Thanatos|| more likely to show up in regular or skull rooms?
I MAKE AEGIS MY WEAPON WITH THE MOST COMPLETIONS TRYING THE GET THE MF ||SECRET ASPECT|| AND I GET IT ON THE RUN WEAR I WEAR FISTS? bruh
almost like they have no correlation o.o
also how does one catch a rare fishy
btw
whats the difference between aphros damage reduction and athenas damage reduction
Aphros says nearby but then just says damage reduction %
I MAKE AEGIS MY WEAPON WITH THE MOST COMPLETIONS TRYING THE GET THE MF ||SECRET ASPECT|| AND I GET IT ON THE RUN WEAR I WEAR FISTS? bruh
You dont need to play with the weapon at all to unlock the aspect
Except spear
Aphros says nearby but then just says damage reduction %
Exactly what it sounds like, aphro only works with people nearby
You dont need to play with the weapon at all to unlock the aspect
@tepid plover its how i unlocked all the rest so i just kept going that way
That was going to happen wether you were using them or not
My and my friend unlocked most aspects without using the weapon
also how does one catch a rare fishy
@indigo canopy what about this tho
Yes
when i hear the sound or see the flash?
Trick that works for me is to close my eyes and react to the sound instead of watching
hades is at 14% i can’t wait for it to eventually finish
i might try that because i find myself being faked out by the little bobs by trying to be too quick
If the fake bobs are getting thru you then yeah
Whatever works for you
As long as you do it fast
Out of curiosity, given there are so many records on accomplishments and run info, are there any leaderboards?
ive been trying to get the last aspect for the bow ive invested 5 titans blood and unlocked the spear aspect and talked to artimis and yet i cant seem to get the hidden dialog am i missing a step
ew
You sure you've invested 5?
All righty then
The only rare fish ive caught was in elysium lmao never seen one since then
Youre probably missing the sound cue
No lol
Cheater
Just die
You can already do this by equipping a keepsake
Why cheese it
i found out im a visual guy
caught the tartarus and styx rare fish
missed the elysium one and caught a carp 
Congratz!
Fates take the wheel
yeah ive leveled every keepsake except the god ones
my chaos and zeus are lvl 3 and arti lvl 2 and thats about it
i dont classify hermes in the same category
Correct
what does it mean when there's a little icon in the corner of a keepsake
youve maxed out the affinity gauge
what does that have to do with the keepsake though
just a way of showing without having to go through the codex one by one
Hey so I just finished my first 32 heat run, and I uh
ran out of time while fighting the final boss
but I didn't get poofed
what's uh, supposed to happen when you run out of time
nah
I heard a bell toll and such
spoiler for the reason: ||TD hurts you with 5hp/s if you go overtime, it doesn't kill you outright||
Ah, thank you very much 🙂
That's so much more forgiving than I thought, but very well designed
is it possible to miss or skip the second dream sequence? i haven't seen it and have beat final boss once
There are 2 dreams??
theres a ||second dream sequence||?
Not sure about ||second dream||, but I did beat the final boss on 4th attempt in my new save file and the order of the story is out of wack.
there are two flashback things, i am afraid i missed the one in the admin chamber?
Ohhhh right
I've finally done it. The legendary aspect of poseidon, true shot, fully loaded, exit wounds, flurry cast run
Hey all. So I’ve been able to beat the game a few times with the Chiron bow (Aphrodite attack + Artemis special) and chaos shield (Ares attack + Zeus special). Are there any other weapons / builds that are fairly easy to clear with?
dio cast with the dem and zeus duos will shred, quite difficult to get but if u do my god you will be speed running my friend
I think Hera bow is much better than Chiron, personally - Poseidon, Athena and Aphrodite casts all do massive damage - grab Snow Burst in there somewhere (effectively replaces your regular attack for trash mobs and triggers Privileged) and a relevant Duo boon and you've got a stew cooking
They are both hella good
I’ve already invested quite a bit into Chiron
i personally liked the hidden bow more
I was thinking more about other weapons that are easy to clear. Rail maybe?
yeah you cant rely on getting duos but artemis/zeus and demeter/poseidon are both crazy if you can get them
Sword, spear, and fists have been tough for me so far
by crazy i mean they let you kill bosses without getting anywhere near them
I can say that Demeter fists is really very good
I love demeter
A good yardstick is to try and force Merciful End - with Ares attack and Athena Dash/Special
Big Strong
fat hits
Pairs well with Artemis/Athena duo as well if you can get it
the hammer upgrades are all to taste, except avoid Heavy Knuckle
Demeter Fists are my fav weapon in the game ❤️
I hate pressing the cast button on anything that isn't the Hidden Shield and Hera but I can definitely appreciate that 😂
Still don't know what to do with the Hidden Gloves though lol
uh, Eris Gun is considered very, very good
Get Zeus lightning on attack and everything else is basically to taste
For the spear, going hard on casts with Achilles is a strong strategy
hidden fists is good on special builds imo,
one of those, but i make sure to have quake cutter and maintain maim on enemies, with dmg boosters, the maim proc can go rly high
Oh do special damage boosts effect maim?
not rly
as in privilege status and weak susceptibility
yep, gotcha - the handful of All Damage boosts
beside the atk is cool with deflect i guess, since its a 180 arc
!!!
interesting
Oh and Switch, for low investment Swords, both the Hidden Sword and Poseidon are quite good
Poseidon is obviously any cast that hits in an aoe + exit wounds
Or maybe not even the aoe, that's all to taste
i've got no tips for the hidden sword lol, I don't really mess with it myself
A friend of mine swears by Artemis attack for Fat crits though
hidden sword is nice
i had a good run with hidden sword and aphrodite attack
just put down special and facetank with attack and win
yeah that was my best run with the sword
u dont always atk, u dash and atk instead
but idk if it's reliable
no the second and third can also be done after dashes
so u can activate backstab with athna dashes to maximize dmg
i think my timing was bad coz i was trying to do that and only sometimes got it
or maybe always got it? im not entirely sure
was a pretty easy run either way
oh! I thought that's what was happening
sick
shows what I know about the sword lmao
Alright im righ qt styx on em4 16 heat i have herabow lvl 7 heroic trippy shot with ice wine duo boon all dd all im praying for is art +2 casts im feeling good about this run
are we still expecting cross saves to be available before october is finished?
Holy crap dude i just bought 2 dio boons and a dem boon and got both their legendaries and a duo boon
Tf is my luck rn
Luccsacc

Watch as the Olympians refuse to give you any duos or legendaries the next few runs


I just realized I put as many hours into Hades as I did in monster hunter 4U which is another very very time sinky game, just wanna say
totally worth it, 10/10
Noooo it was too easyyyyyy
I was too setup :"(
I got tricked hahahaha
Phewwwwwww
Yo i got so caught off guard
11/10
lol i keep having to choose stuff i dont want because prophecies
I mean, it's a really smart way to incentivize new players to just try everything out but yeah I only just finished all those prophecies at 65 runs
kick special with demeter fists ;_;
6 KICKS
Anyone knows if devs are working in adding new gods or content in the future? i know the game has been just released but i love it very much ♥️♥️
read #hades-faq
ty sorry for asking before reading first !
Hey Im sorry, i dont particularly know where to ask about a game mechanic, can anyone direct me?
Can probably ask here I guess?
mechanic is a pretty general term, could be anything xD
Yeah, Im actually pretty far into the game and its a bit embarrassing, is there a better way to identify if there is a fishing spot in a chamber?
Ok so there is another indicator
Other than Zag mentioning it, just have to look out for the line out of the water yeah. At the end/start of some encounters there is a ding
pretty easy to miss tbh
Thank you, i knew about the line but i was hoping there was an audio cue
I mean it's always there yeah, but for some reason I've exited as the ding goes xD
idk how I accomplished that
That is like the only thing without a sound cue huh
yo yo yooo
i just had an idea for like a DLC or a sequel
like, ive seen people talk about how they can fit in the other gods they havent put in by explaining why they didnt help zagreus
It's mentioned very briefly, they're out doing other things I think
and i could SO see like, Apollo's reasons being tied to his job as a god of life, light and medicine
Demeter mentions it
i havent had that voice line yet
If you're using Hera bow maybe?
Theres so many lol, it wouldnt be suprising
Its been awhile since I've done that stuff, but my memory could very well be off
Im 80+ runs in and I still am hearing new voicelines
but sorry for interrupting, go on 👍
i need to see apollo's opinions on Thanatos, Hades, and the realm of the dead. Does he accept that all medicine is ultimately futile and only serves to prolong life and allow mortals to fix their mistakes? Or does he abhor the way that death goes towards the sick and impoverished first? i really look forward to the way they may characterize him
hopefully they work on Hades on the side
i think demeter does comment on that saying shes looking at mortals that dont go extinct without her intervention
Sounds like something she would say
If I switch of shell, do I lose it as a requirement for fishing legendary?
Is there a place to post a bug report?
i have a very specific request
does anyone have an image of the in conversation Dusa with hearts?
How to get Poseidon chibi. ? I have every other chibi , Poseidon one not unlocking no matter what I do including picking up his boon after successful fishing that run
Looks like it might be bugged
Is there a place to post a bug report?
@inland wasp preference in game. With f10
I'm sure this has been asked a trillion times, though I can't for the life of me find where so... is there a sequel planned for Hades? Or an expansion? Because take my money please.
the most i've seen is Supergiant saying they'll think about DLC in the future
What does the special for aspect of || Arthur || do besides look cool
damage reduction + trap disable + slow enemies/projectiles
Increased health, new slower but much harder-hitting Attack combo, Special sets down an aura that does all of ^ that.
love it cuz i hate lava so much
It's great for the extreme measures Lernie fight.
||EM2|| Hydra's main difficulty is probably the lava yeah
i think ive been getting more perfect catches than i realized
Also hidden sword has ridiculous base damage
You can probably fight all the way to Elysium without any attack/special boon
At least I know I did
and i just thought they were low rarity fish because i didnt get anything more than like gems or nectar for them
im ridiculously bad a perfect catches lmao
Same
only got the one from elysium
how do you get the really good stuff from fish
tartarus fish = gemstones
asphodel = keys
elysium = nectar
styx = gemstones
chaos = darkness
|| surface || = || bounty-level resources||
rarity only affects quantity of what u get
are the odds of getting a fishing spot in that last place the same as anywhere else
how do i know if i even get in the range of a perfect catch
like i took a reaction test and i got .25 average
i just cant get a legendary fish for my life of me though
I think I got my legendary fish from normal catches because I'm slow
There's a chance but it's like rolling gacha for high tier characters
The textbox will say perfect catch if you manage to hit it
you are not missing out on anything besides the codex entries if you can't catch the legendary fish.
That's.. why I'm here
I mean, it took me over 400 runs and 1027 total fish caught to complete the codex
(though the last fish I was missing was a common Chaos fish)
ive never spawned a chaos fishing point :<<<
the last fish i caught was none becasue i have only legendary fish left
chaos pls love me
Im 130 runs and only found one dont feel bad @real fossil
they buffed it in the test branch, u guys should check it out
Hestia rail is making my fingers cramp lmao
on switch
Gonna switch buttons around
This is super inefficient
fun fact
making it to the last boss with all your DDs does not mean you can just get hit by every swing
Lol yea no unless ur trolling a vengance build
First time i did em4 || didnt know hades had a 3rd form so i was hasty and used all my dds on his 2nd form||
Still won but god damn was that butt clenching
Why is 100 necter the last theme im gonna finish
its like 50k gems, its fine
maybe i should use fiery presence with demeter fist
just completed the entry for all fishes
congrats!
thanks
does fiery presence work on all hits of a multihit attack
oh wait nvm thats going to suck on bosses
Why is 100 necter the last theme im gonna finish
@ebon basin it also happened to be the last one that popped up for me after unlocking all other themes AND converting about 50 into diamonds for music because i didn’t know I was going to need 100
:')
Been using them on bouldy
For a 2% ambiguity xDD
Shouldve saved them for the theme first
Hi. I'm sure you guys have heard of the recent DMCA strikes by music labels against streamers. I wanted to ask if SGG is fine with playing the OSTs from their games (Bastion and Hades) on streams, assuming that the streamer has legal access to it and the origin of the music is made known? Don't really want to tag the devs, but if anyone knows the answer or a better place to ask the question, please chime in.
best boons for ||gilgamesh||?
personally i use athena atk and dash with exposed and aphro special, cast with dio/demeter duo
thats a very specific setup
my hades finally installed and i played some and i like this game a lot so far
it's p neat
it's a damn good time
the main focus when using hidden gloves is focusing on maximizing the maim stuff, weak stuff can provide susceptiblity and privileged status increases it more
maim with ares artemis dual cast is doing crazy damage
What is maim
||yes ||
Hello!
Hi
What weapon do you use?
||spoler||
I swear to gods
"hey everyone move over we gots a pro over here!"
;-;?
Dont have time limit so i can take my time
Made charron easy compared to swarms of enemies with double buffs lol
I just realized I have some honey in
Mmmmmmmnbm
Also sometimes bossos are easier since it's a single target
Some if them are xD
Worried about the thesus fight
I overbuffed enemies instead of giving a time limit
So the bulls gonna me super tanky
Yikes, I can't deal with time limits in games tho
fortunately 9 mins is more than enough
For you ;-;
F
I spend like five minutes deciding what door to go through
9 is managble but its not enough heat
So i opt to have no limit and just take my time with tankier more dangerous enemies
Less stressful
Yeah same ;-;
7 min is not that tough
5 min tartarus + 5 min asphodel is pretty easy, this leaves you plenty of extra for elysium and styx
chiron with artemis is like op
better, chiron with dio + pressure point
Idk man im trying out hestai rail for a bit
32 heat with it is tough if have a time limit or the negate damage sheilds
Once im better ill add the timmer
damage control is not that threatening for rail since you negate them so fast anyway
I think one of my favorite things in the game
Is going to the broker
And not trading anything
And then the emote of annoyance above his head
Always gives me a little chuckle
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/768573084315680818/770571955186565120/unknown.png can someone tell me if this Hammer Upgrade is still in the game or not?
i swear i never find it anymore
wiki says you cant get it with the Achilles Aspect, which i hardly use
but yeah i never see it show up these days
Wait
ill keep trying cheers
it would make sense if it wasnt cause it would do too much damage in a special build
but idk
Whats achilies bonus 150%?
post rush damage buff for the next few attacks i believe
🤷♂️
i thought it was 500% but perhaps im misremembering
either way ye idk, i didnt make the game so i wont question the design choices
I can understand that
Im prettt sad my boi Apollo didn't get in the game but I'm happy people did great art of him
Rn i have ||rama bow|| at 53% 56% 119% plus double shot
Pretty good numbers this is fun
Does dash strike and attack add to eachother or is attack solely the attack and doesnt effect your dash strike
it affects it too if i remember correctly
i had reflect on my attack and when i dash striked on spear it still reflected
This is almost certainly a silly question but does anyone know if Rip Current has any prerequisites besides Poseidon's Aid? After ~100 hours it's the only basic boon I haven't got, and I did five or six runs yesterday with the conch trinket trying specifically to get it with no luck. Worried I might be missing something.
not sure, everytime i get a Poseidon that one is always on there for me
just bad rng i guess
but that should be the only prerequisite
I had a similar problem with one of Aphrodite’s boons. Eventually it appeared with some rerolling. I still need rip current to finish Poseidon too so more rerolling fun to follow I guess.
Yea i also had a hard time with it
It was i beleive the last boon i had to get
Id just make sure you have persuasion on and reroll when u meat the prerequisite
Yeah, I've been rerolling
the only ones im missing myself are legendary, i have such bad rng 
It's totally possible it's just bad RNG, I just wanted to be totally sure that I wasn't slamming myself against a wall without realizing there was a door
I'm still missing like a third of the duo boons so it's not like it's the only thing left but I don't really like Poseidon's boons in general so it's been a little bit of a grind to work through
i only really enjoy his knockback dash
oof
yep, my least favorite part, the poison can make a godlike run for me turn to complete ass
Sometimes I clear tunnels without using much health and do extra ones. Other runs I seem to almost DD and pray I get the right room 2nd for a heal
I almost always end up doing extra tunnels so that I can get a nice charon shop boost
that was my process of thinking
i felt i needed a boost
but not having the revive thing and low health
is not a good combo
oh well I finally bought my second death deffiance
Oh, for sure, early on I just got out once I had the sack
i do extra tunnels depending on how rng blessed my run with boons
theres times where i just know i wont even be able to beat Redacted so i just do the tunnels and try to buy anything i can like a diamond or blood
is there any news on the cross save?
For me, early on having Stubborn Defiance instead of Death Defiance helped a lot, because dying once to 3rd boss wouldn't have knock-on effects for the last floor/boss
I only really switched over to Death Defiance once I was consistently getting to the final boss without dying

The rats are easily the most annoying enemies in my opinion
For me it's the Satyrs themselves. I've never quite been able to place the timing for dodging their spit, and the sound for it is often hard to hear/process with everything else going on in the screen
i honestly hate the satyrs and rats on the same level they both r rlly frustrating to me esp when it's at the same time
Rats are ok most of the time, tanky as hell sometimes but avoiding damage is easy enough
Satyrs are the bane of my existence
The only enemy that still make me anxious in a fight in the tunnels
Anything that poisons just ges my anxiety rushing as im just slapping them with wet noodles only to find out im poisoned and a quarter of my hp is already gone.
It just annihilates your health so quickly, it's insane
And it's always when you forget to identify where the cure well is
the snake gems are bad
I mean, everything in the last stage can do a lot of damage very quickly
I'd rather have slow moving laser boy that can be countered by a pillar than a rat that covers half the screen with poison
And then you dodge all that and realise you’re standing on the grate with gas coming out of it 🤦🏻♂️
Who will win
The son of Hades empowered by the boons of olympus
Or green vent
Any word on cross save recently?
nope
Snake stones' beams aren't 360 like the miniboss variant
I struggled with them for quite a while but then it just clicked
Nah they start closer to 145 ish and then close in I think
Gotta be two thirds of that
Oof
Are armored enemies "undamaged" until they lose their armor?
nope, armor is still considered part of hp
so damage to armor still counts as damaged
Crap, that's to bad. Ty :)
Man I love this game. Took me about 20 runs to finally get past Hades. Currently at 56 and set on decorating the house
Ha, I've not finished that, Owler and I have about 170 runs? Decoration endgame? xDD
Got 100% achievements on Bastion and Transistor, currently on 79% here
Im seriously scared to upgrade the badge or whatever its called
I can't believe this is the same year as HLA, ghosts of tsushima and last of us part 2
wiki says it takes hundreds of thousands of darknes
I prefer Hades to all of the games you mentioned. xDD
yeah, it really shows evolution of Supergiant
I remember hearing about Bastion in a 2010 kids' gaming magazine
Bit surreal that a decade later, the people that made that made my favourite game of the year
I've not played any other Supergiant Games. I will though, after Hades. Although... I mostly just want more Hades atm xDD
Hades is the video game version of an all you can eat buffet where every dish is a banger
I still havent finished Pyre even tho I got it day one
I'm not sure about Pyre, I feel like there's a lot of mixed reactions to that one
I mean, I like it and will finish it one day for sure but I just can't get to it
I'll get to it eventually, same as with the other SGG offerings.
Hades has convinced me~
I'm seriously afraid that after Hades' fast paced fights, others may feel a bit slow or clunky
But I love them nonetheless
how is it you hide text for spoilers?
y'all want some slow battles ? Try the Banner Saga.
@inland fossil use the "||" before and after your spoiler
Ty
||neat||
||try me||
|| <-- this on both sides of the word
2 before and 2 after
Anyone seen the Blood of Zeus anime on Netflix?
idk. 40-ish? I stopped counting.
||like this||
I think it was on 40ish too
got it
21st run for me
20 something
Averages between 20-30
and mine was using god mode
Can I still earn the PoP 32 award after hitting the cap with a weapon?
FeelsGood to not being the only one who SUCKS hahahahah
Finally got to Elysium!!! Only been playing for three days on God Mode
I honestly never worried about how good or bad I was in relation to others. I was more concerned about making friends with everyone (and becoming more with some), and delving into the story. It's so good.
Yeah, I love what they did with relationships and unlocking stuff as we die in the begining. I never felt like the failed runs were pointles

@austere jacinth I’m just kidding. But also really trying hard to scape to throw it to my father’s face
LUL
Man I remember having super good build, killing everything in seconds and then dying to Hades. That was like my 3rd or 4th try of fighting him
I feel like I learned a lot since then cause I didn't even die once recently when I had super low DPS build
God, everybody has that run
That run where everything goes well and go up to Hades with all 3 lives and an insane build
and you still lose to Hades
This game made death feel like something other than abject failure, which was nice. If I died, I got to make headway with relationships and progress stories. Really well written stories.
Hades really makes you FEEL like Zagreus
I just want the best for Zagreus. He's such a refreshing protagonist.
Seriously though, the way the game makes you feel about death the same way that the characters do is really cool
I feel like Zagreus as I'll say something and he'llsay the same thing 😄
I feel like it's very hard to pull off a teenage/young adult-like character with rebellious tendencies without making them come off as annoying
I'm bored of gritty, guard-your-feelings, trauma-ridden protagonists. Zag is a nice boy. He's not flawless - he's reckless and restless and often acts without consulting others - but he genuinely cares about people and he's not afraid to show affection to those he loves or respect for those who help him.
Man I've got to get the cerberus painting for the House of Hades
Right next to Zag's portrait
I feel like Zagreus as I'll say something and he'llsay the same thing 😄
@wise stratus This happened to me the other day, I got a duo boon I was hoping for and said "Now we're talking" then promptly after he said the same thing XD
i always wonder like...are we super in sync or did i pick up his turns of speech without realizing 😂
Zagreus is the God of millenials
I also really like how they've handled a lot of the gods. The more I play, the more I'm loving what they did with Ares, who's about as close to a feminist as the Greek Gods actually got, yet has such a horrid reputation in the modern era. He's never portrayed well... BUT he is in Hades ❤️
