I thought every character in Hades hated Ares

or at least thought he was a weirdo

[real fossil]

|| hard shipping ares and nyx ||

[heavy breach]

|| hard shipping ares and nyx ||
||ew no||

[austere jacinth]

Hell yes, actually. xD

[sharp fossil]

||it grew on me, ngl||

[heavy breach]

||zagreus and nyx ||

[late shard]

||I ship Sisyphus and Bouldy.||

[sharp fossil]

yeah lol i have a problem with this game wherein i basically ship everyone with everyone else

[heavy breach]

||I ship Sisyphus and Bouldy.||
everybody does

Who wouldn't?

[sharp fossil]

^

[brisk trail]

||I ship Sisyphus and Bouldy.||
@late shard Perfect couple doesn't exi---.........

[austere jacinth]

In Hades, a lot of characters view Ares poorly (which is in keeping with Greek mythology, where he's often humiliated by his family) but key characters don't. ||Aphrodite obviously loves him, Thanatos says he's the only Olympian who treats Than with any respect, and there's a back-and-forth with Nyx where he shows an awesome amount of respect for her. Zag is concerned, but eventually comes round.||

[real fossil]

head chef and wretched broker

gets boring in the lounge sometimes

[alpine stratus]

head chef wretched broker.... lounge run by power couple

[sharp fossil]

yeah i didn’t know about ares being kinda, not trash in myth until someone in this discord told me lol

pretty neat

[late shard]

But what about ||Cerberus and Skelly or Lernie||?

[alpine stratus]

skellyzag

[lavish condor]

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
@late shard that is what is happening to me. I hit like 800 crit, and still die. Happened 2x

[austere jacinth]

Ares is the patron god of the Amazonians (-grumbles at DC comics-), and he'll defend his children at any cost.

[alpine stratus]

wonder woman and hadesgame ares hi fiving

[heavy breach]

grumbles at DC in general

[austere jacinth]

Wonder Woman is great, but... Ares should be her patron, not her enemy gdi xDD

[sharp fossil]

ngl i’d watch that movie

[real fossil]

well i guess ares' bad rep comes with how we currently view war as something abhorrent and evil. But back in ancient greece, war was kind of a necessity with how each city state (polis) was at each other's throat and he was venerated more for that reality

[sharp fossil]

take that, stereotypes

[real fossil]

but i agree love how supergiant handled his characterization

[sharp fossil]

back in the day war was seen pretty differently, in a lot of cultures

[real fossil]

i also hate how hades is mostly characterized as big evil man a lot cough cough disney

[austere jacinth]

Ares is great and SGG didn't just make him some 'evil monster', which I appreciate.

[real fossil]

now he's just big mean dad

[sharp fossil]

i also hate how hades is also characterized as big evil man a lot cough cough disney
@real fossil yeah it’s like, in myth he’s one of the least garbage gods?

[austere jacinth]

Eh, he's not all too great in myths, tbh

[sharp fossil]

he mostly keeps to himself, and boy oh boy can that not be said for many gods

he’s no saint, certainly

but compared to zeus?

he’s fine

[austere jacinth]

Next to Zeus and Poseidon, yeah... but Ares, Dio, and Hermes are all much less rapey.

[sharp fossil]

big truth

[real fossil]

zeus, god of non-consent

[alpine stratus]

i gotta go have fun in here preemptive reminder to not get deep into sensitive or disturbing topics in myth that dont appear in the game out here in public

-ah boy, make that, emptive reminder

[austere jacinth]

That's probably a good shout.

[alpine stratus]

thanks for being considerate! lotsa ppl about, big discord, dont want to upset or disturb unnessesarily ykno? bye!!

[austere jacinth]

Without specifics, mythological Hades is definitely not the soft, lonely man who just needs love that some modern takes depict him as.

[sharp fossil]

fair, you likely know more than i do

[indigo canopy]

i think more modern depictions depict hades as almost the greek counterpart to satan

rather than a god doing his job

[heavy breach]

That's the Level 1 depiction of Hades

[indigo canopy]

and iirc a lot less chaotic than zeus or poseidon

[sharp fossil]

my grasp of greek myth is honestly hazy at best, and 90% of it comes from this game at this point lol

[heavy breach]

Hades rules where all the dead people are, he must be the bad guy

[indigo canopy]

ruler of the underworld, so hes been drawn the the counterpart to satan, bc they both rule over hell

[heavy breach]

Mine comes 90% from this game and 10% from the disney hercules movie

[sharp fossil]

yeah there’s definitely a satan conflation, which is mostly what i was pointing out

[real fossil]

god i was such a PJO nerd when i was in HS dont get me started HAHAHAHA but ya super big props to SSG on how they handled each character

[heavy breach]

PJO?

[sharp fossil]

like, he’s probably pretty garbage as a person idk but he’s not a literal incarnation of evil, like some media represents him as

[real fossil]

riordan's percy jackson n the olympians series

[heavy breach]

YOOOO PERCY JACKSON

I used to be late to class because I was reading that series during lunch

[austere jacinth]

I don't mind the Percy Jackson stories. I've never really gotten into them myself, but they seem decent enough for the audience they're intended. It definitely plays fast and loose with mythology though. And once again, it's mean af to Ares xD

[sharp fossil]

rip ares

[heavy breach]

If anything, Zeus is probably a bigger a-hole than Ares in mythology

He turned somebody into a cow to hide them from his wife right?

or did he turn into a cow, I can't remember

[sharp fossil]

zeus is a contender for biggest a-hole in any mythology lol

he absolutely turned someone into a cow

and i don’t think it was one time thing

[heavy breach]

I remember getting the duo boon dialogue for arty and zeus and the saying to myself

[austere jacinth]

Zeus is just... wow, such a jerk

[heavy breach]

Well, you're not getting any more nectar

[indigo canopy]

zeus is quite... sucky

[austere jacinth]

I'm trying to think of another god who's more of a jerk and... it's hard.

[hexed trail]

Thor did some pretty wild stuff

[real fossil]

what is with lighting/thunder gods

[hexed trail]

I believe there's a story where he kicks a dwarf into a bonfire just for fun

[real fossil]

HAHAHAHAHA

[heavy breach]

Sounds like a thor thing to do

[austere jacinth]

Thor wasn't as bad as Odin, and Odin wasn't as bad as Poseidon, who wasn't as bad as Zeus.

[heavy breach]

The 3 brothers seem pretty awful in general

[austere jacinth]

Like, everything a person can do wrong, Zeus did xDD

[real fossil]

if we're going with the myths and if we assume dusa to be the medusa

dusa used to have a huge crush on poseidon

[austere jacinth]

No she didn't

[heavy breach]

That's a pretty big assumption

[austere jacinth]

He... erm... chased her into the temple of her goddess and did... what Zeus does.

[heavy breach]

Lol, what if medusa wasn't her actual name and it was just her going "It's me, Dusa"

[real fossil]

ah

[austere jacinth]

At which point Athena turned her into a gorgon for defiling her temple

[heavy breach]

oh wow, he really is a big wiener huh?

[austere jacinth]

And later sent a kid to behead her.

[real fossil]

Lol, what if medusa wasn't her actual name and it was just her going "It's me, Dusa"
@heavy breach this is now greek myth canon

[austere jacinth]

Oh, and after having her beheaded, Athena then weaponised said head.

[sharp fossil]

And later sent a kid to behead her.
@austere jacinth big oof

[real fossil]

wow that wouldve made || epilogue party || so awkward

[sharp fossil]

that’s some classic greek myth resolution right there

like, why did this happen?

gods, man

[indigo canopy]

im pretty sure that whole medusa story is a roman mixup

a roman scribe mixed up athena for minerva

[sharp fossil]

^ also a classic greek myth thing lol

things getting mixed up

[indigo canopy]

bc athena in all the myths is a very level headed and sensible god

[austere jacinth]

It's Greek. But the Greek stories did evolve and get messy even into the Roman period.

Athena is a JERK

[indigo canopy]

oh no its a greek story i know, but the details were a mixup by the romans

[austere jacinth]

She's a total jerk in the Illiad.

And that's not Roman

She tells a son it's okay to avenge his father (who burned his sister alive) by killing his mother because only his father is his 'real' parent. His mom 'just carried' him and therefore he needn't feel guilty about killing her.

[sharp fossil]

um

yike

[austere jacinth]

Athena is her father's favourite, after all.

[sharp fossil]

athena ofc has great representation in modern media

smh

now i want a story which switches up ares and athena

[indigo canopy]

ares got some love in god of war before he was murdered lol

[sharp fossil]

athena is the terrible war god that everyone hates and ares is just tryna do his best on the middle of a family made up of people like zeus, poseidon etc.

because athena was also associated with war iirc?

strategy and stuff?

[indigo canopy]

athena was associated with defensive war

[austere jacinth]

Athena was the strategy and military side of war, while Ares was bloodlust and passion.

[sharp fossil]

might have to bend the myth a bit to make it work, but it could be cool

see there’s nothing wrong with passion, inherently

[austere jacinth]

I like SGG's wiser Athena. She does seem a little standoffish and imperious, and she does respect her father more than the rest of the family, but she's less of a total jerk. xDD

[sharp fossil]

as for bloodlust... well, depends exactly and how and where it’s directed

[indigo canopy]

well she is the god of wisdom

hence why shes associated w the owl

[austere jacinth]

Ares's passion and bloodlust tended to get the best of him whenever his kids were hurt.

[sharp fossil]

he apparently notably yeeted some guy for... doing a zeus

which is pretty understandable tbh

can’t fault his bloodlust there

[austere jacinth]

He was put on trial for killing Poseidon's son after said son 'attacked' Ares's daughter, and was fully prepared to break a deal with all the other gods and take to the battlefield personally in the Illiad, after his son was killed.

He also loved Aphrodite, who loved him in return. Before and, ahem, during her marriage. Although, to be fair, she never actually got a say in that marriage.

[indigo canopy]

poor hephaestus man

[sharp fossil]

okay srsly where are the myth adaptions with ares as protag

this is a travesty

[indigo canopy]

i want an openworld greek mythos game where i play as artimis

[storm coyote]

just hanging with the dryads, messaging with some reclusive kid in the underworld

[indigo canopy]

hunting too !

[storm coyote]

that feeling when you know they saw your message but you haven't heard a response

[sharp fossil]

lol just imagining arty just chillin’, texting zag on her smartphone

[austere jacinth]

She hangs with her brother too, in myth. And both are pretty close to their own mother, Leto

[heavy breach]

hey, that reclusive kid is the guy who's handing nectar left right and centre

[sharp fossil]

Leto is the name of a missile launcher in FTL lol

[storm coyote]

where's my modern day artemis stories

[austere jacinth]

Apollo is also a god of the hunt. And I still can't help but laugh at the horrible misfortune of the man he loved.

[hexed trail]

When Zag leaves you on read

[sharp fossil]

video game sure do like to slap greek myth names in wherever they can

[austere jacinth]

Zag would never leave someone on read. He's too polite!

[heavy breach]

Where's my option to romance Artemis, damn it

[austere jacinth]

Artemis is kinda gay in Hades.

And... possibly in mythology too.

[sharp fossil]

everyone’s kinda gay in hades

let’s be real

[storm coyote]

artemis is just her own person

[hexed trail]

She's very gay, at least from how I read those replies about Callisto

[austere jacinth]

Almost everyone is bi. Artemis is one of the exceptions~

[sharp fossil]

i read her as ace actually, but i can see that

[storm coyote]

we don't need to label artemis, artemis is artemis

[indigo canopy]

i read her as ace actually, but i can see that
@sharp fossil nah, she has fun w nymphs

[austere jacinth]

She could be read as gay ace perfectly well.

[sharp fossil]

^

[austere jacinth]

I do think there's an implication that she's very fond of Callisto though.

[heavy breach]

Eh whatever, I just want her crits

[austere jacinth]

And she wants to introduce her cousin Zag to her (probable) girlfriend.

[heavy breach]

oh yeah

They're cousins

Pretend I have said nothing up to this point

[storm coyote]

I mean

that doesn't stop the rest of the family

[austere jacinth]

Lol. I mean, they are gods, so...

I mean, Persephone is Hades's niece.

[storm coyote]

and zeus offers up aphrodite

[indigo canopy]

being family means absolutely nothing to the gods

[austere jacinth]

SGG added in some things to make certain relationships less direct. More foster-siblings and frolicking with mortals, which is for the best in a modern adaptation.

[indigo canopy]

does being a stepsister make it better?

[heavy breach]

a bit

Step relations are yikes

but blood relations are super yikes

[indigo canopy]

maybe its different because theyre ichor relations

[austere jacinth]

Well, Nyx raised Zag, Meg and Than. But she seems to have raised them all at different times, apart from one another.

[pearl sparrow]

Guys, I saw a 32 heat run of a guy, on YouTube, and he always gets Poseidon chambers. I mean, almost only Poseidon chambers. How do you do that?

[heavy breach]

and also I presume she raised the fates

[austere jacinth]

She likely raised the Fates, Moros, Hypnos, Charon, the other Furies... and more.

[heavy breach]

It's called youtube luck babyyyy

Or maybe he seeded it or something

[hexed trail]

@pearl sparrow Probably conch shell + luck?

[indigo canopy]

charons not born of nyx?

[heavy breach]

I think charon's born of nyx

I figured you would know

[austere jacinth]

Charon is.

[pearl sparrow]

That's not just luck. He just have done some actual ritual to get Poseidon's favor.

[heavy breach]

(or seeded it)

[sharp fossil]

sounds like routing

[austere jacinth]

Charon, Hypnos and Thanatos were raised together too.

[vapid pollen]

Rerolled doors to get Poseidon too?

[sharp fossil]

you can manipulate the rng to get the boons you want, but it basically requires playing the save file a billion times to work out combos

*seed, i mean

not save file

[austere jacinth]

Oh, and to interject; Charon is awesome and his relationship with ||Hermes|| is awesome and I love him. Carry on.

[tired merlin]

yes I agree

[sharp fossil]

also agree

[indigo canopy]

charon is the only one i have full relationship with

[austere jacinth]

Charon appreciates your custom.

I think he was the third I maxed out? After Than and Meg.

[wise stratus]

I only need Aphrodite left 🙂

[carmine ravine]

already maxed everything

[austere jacinth]

Hypnos took FOREVER.

[hexed trail]

Yeah I still haven't unlocked Hypnos.

[tired merlin]

I still haven't unlocked his affinity 😭

[carmine ravine]

i think u need to upgrade the great hall and stuff too

[hexed trail]

I've had Zeus at his lock for a while now too

[wise stratus]

And I've just unlocked Aphrodite now 😄

[austere jacinth]

Hypnos is sweet, but man, he took a lot of work and runs.

[tired merlin]

I bought him the chair for him to nap in

[hexed trail]

I think what makes Hypnos take a while is a lot of his plot stuff involves Thanatos, so if you have plot dialogue available for Than it can interfere.

[austere jacinth]

Yep

Or any dialogue with Than at all. Than seems to want to do ANYTHING but talk to his bro.

[wise stratus]

And I maxed out Aphrodite

Wow that was easy 😄

They're all maxed now 🙂

[austere jacinth]

Congrats!

[wheat kayak]

Welp, I ran Merciful End on Zeus shield and I can confirm this slaps

[real fossil]

i love merciful end builds

[wheat kayak]

Athena spec, Ares attack

Rest of the skill boons didn't matter

Helps that I had the double attack-no pushback hammer

[real fossil]

my go to || gilga || build is ares attack and athena spec/dash for fun times

[pearl sparrow]

Rush delivery: does it apply also on status damage?

[wise stratus]

dying lament is great

shot one numbskull and they domino kill each other

and now I'm being offered 2 duos 😄

[spice hill]

I got a question that’s probably been asked before. Is the wretched sneak supposed to lose all status effects every time it teleports?

[carmine ravine]

hidden fist i always go to athena/dem atk and aphro special

[real fossil]

I got a question that’s probably been asked before. Is the wretched sneak supposed to lose all status effects every time it teleports?
@spice hill iirc yep it same as || redacted ||

[spice hill]

I was unaware he also did that. But then again he’s also hidden for a longer time period. I figured they just fell off in that time.

[tired merlin]

the bloodstones stay in during that time period though

for ||redacted|| I mean

[lethal oxide]

Soon patch on Switch POOOGERZ ?

[indigo canopy]

pog

[ancient canyon]

hey what are some good well of charon upgrades worth buying? i usually only buy health

[carmine ravine]

infernal trove, DD refill, boon rarity increase, chaos gates

[ancient canyon]

oh i always pass by the infernal troves.. are they worth the risk to health?

[carmine ravine]

depends, how good are you

[indigo canopy]

i only do them for gems or darkness

[carmine ravine]

coins is worth too

[ancient canyon]

oh well i'm not that great 🙂 gems and darkness just don't seem to be worth the tradeoff

[brisk trail]

If you have dark regen darkness troves are nice

More so with dank thirst, and the other realted booms

[carmine ravine]

assuming u already bought the rewards upgrade fromthe contractor

[brisk trail]

That

[latent jetty]

i personally think depending on how good your rolls on boons are going you should attempt them. Like the health one most of the time youre always gonna top back off. The others i'd only do if your set up is really kicking ass in that moment

[sterile token]

I wish Hades had a similar screenshotting function to Hearthstone, where if you press PrtScrn, it makes a screenshot and automatically saves it as a file to your desktop

[proud monolith]

New fightstick art! https://i.imgur.com/4W0NMef.jpg

[sterile token]

Now I wish Zagreus was in Smash

[maiden urchin]

does he get to use all 24 weapon aspects

[hallow prairie]

nice fightstick

that being said, I think limiting ot a few gods probably would let you organize it better

[tropic panther]

sturgeon + voidskate on the same run, feelsgoodman

[robust sundial]

I always get projellies

[sterile token]

Game once bugged out and I got a knucklehead in Chaos

[merry talon]

Sturgeon is just a worse Bass, change my mind

[indigo canopy]

i have bad rng for chaos fishing spots

[tepid plover]

Chaos fishing has bad rng in general

Is getting buffed

[indigo canopy]

ive caught 1 mati in almost 80- escapes attempts

[proud monolith]

@hallow prairie yeah, I did one with bouldy, and another with just zag, Hades, and cerberus.

[tropic panther]

[lofty oracle]

Does anyone know where the default screenshot folder is located on Linux ? (Running the game through Steam + Proton, OS is Debian 10)

[tepid plover]

Yes

[brisk trail]

Does anyone know any good ways of farming items other than just flying through plays?

[real fossil]

by items do u mean darkness and gems or the higher-tier stuff like blood/diamonds/ambrosia

[brisk trail]

Ambrosia, Nectar Gems mainly those things

Just stuff so I can progress the story stuff

[real fossil]

well unfortunately the only reliable way of getting em is thru escape attempts

but the minor prophecies can give huge chunks of resources

so probs try n clean those up

[brisk trail]

Hmm, okay thank you

[real fossil]

also always check wretched broker for deals

[gusty swift]

Ugh, ever have one of those days you finish a run with less than a minute left because Styx made you go through ALL FIVE tunnels?

[bright lance]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX56xOTAbiA
WOW I can't believe he voiced ||Hades, Achilles, Poseidon, Charon, Asterius, AND the narrator, that's just awesome||

[brisk trail]

Betcha the hardest one to pull off was Charon's voice lines

[woven cipher]

I finally finished all the prophecies

woot woot

[dapper mango]

i just saw EM4 for the first time :] its rly good seems perfect. i lost this time : D looking forward to seeing it more

[austere jacinth]

It's kinda crazy. Also, awesome music!

[real fossil]

i fear em4 with all my soul

beat it once and never turned it on again

HAHAHAHAHA

[dapper mango]

it seems that stubborn defiance, must be rly risky to use with EM4 ? will see

[brisk trail]

there's this neat trick where if you spen one stubborn defiance on Athena's room, you can use her DD repenlishing boons to have 2 DDs

sure you prolly won't need it, but just incase

[dapper mango]

ah!! i was wondering if there was anyway to get a benefit out of that replenish part of these boons with stubborn!!

very interesting and it does seem balanced!

high quality game

[real fossil]

it really is

gameplay is amazing and the story/characters r so well thought out

plus all the small tidbits they scatter throughout makes it never boring

[dapper mango]

yes

there is like quite a list of things that seem near perfectly done and give a lot of quality and replayability

[tropic mauve]

So, I'm a bit new to the game (only been playing since Sunday) and the mythology nerd in me was wondering if they are ever gonna add the other Olympian Gods to the game to use as Boons, like Hephaestus, Hera, and Apollo.

[quaint hatch]

Nothing known so far

[wide hill]

it would be nice, supergiant isn't known for dlc afaik though

[quaint hatch]

Unlikely

[tepid plover]

VO1DI

Hiii

It's been a while

[indigo canopy]

he returns

[austere jacinth]

I'd love to see DLC, or a sequel, or anything set in the same world. That hasn't been SGG's MO, but who knows?

[quaint hatch]

I had real life
Sucks huh

[indigo canopy]

does asterius have less health in the main boss bottle if youve faced him in a miniboss room?

[dapper mango]

i think its pretty difficult to just add something like a olympian with a boon list when the others are finalized, i believe typically you design them all at once and balance with all others by building together

[quaint hatch]

does asterius have less health in the main boss bottle if youve faced him in a miniboss room?
@indigo canopy yes

[dapper mango]

especially with a core system like that

[quaint hatch]

I think like 10-20%
Not quite sure on the numbers

[indigo canopy]

i think its pretty difficult to just add something like a olympian with a boon list when the others are finalized, i believe typically you design them all at once and balance with all others by building together
@dapper mango pretty sure people like dio, chaos and dem were added later than other gods

[tepid plover]

Real life does suck

Pretty sure bull starts with 80%

[indigo canopy]

yeah something like that

[agile iron]

Have the devs had any chatter about DLC? My wife and I were lamenting the lack of it in their older games and how fun it'd be to storm an angry Olympus. Or challenge other pantheons.

[tepid plover]

Nothing as of now

Wouldn't be surprised if they didn't, but would definitely love it if they did

We can only hope

[dapper mango]

@indigo canopy ok

[agile iron]

🙏 ⛪

[dapper mango]

oh hey @agile iron ^^

[agile iron]

lmao hi

[brave arrow]

I know the answer is probably going to be no, but are there any plans to make Hades moddable in the future?

[austere jacinth]

I don't necessarily wanna storm Olympus. I worked so hard to befriend them T.T.

[quaint wind]

@brave arrow there's a hades modding channel actually, you can find it in #self-promotion

[agile iron]

Could just be for fun. I'm sure the gods would enjoy a fight.

[brave arrow]

O: Oh dang

[tepid plover]

Is already modded lol

[austere jacinth]

Some of the gods would love a fight, for sure. But I'd still want a little bit more to the story behind things.

[tepid plover]

I want to play more hades but I also need to grind the league pass

The struggle

[austere jacinth]

Hades > League for sure~

[tepid plover]

Totally

[runic lintel]

The game really hates it when you tab out apparently

[tepid plover]

But I spent money on the pass lol

If you tab out it pauses

[runic lintel]

Nah it crashes for me

[tepid plover]

Oh

It hates you

[runic lintel]

Yeah

[quaint hatch]

League oof

I used to respect you dio yk

[random plume]

SO say you died right and you go down to the pool of styx. Will you bee granted or denied?

[quaint hatch]

Whar!?

[wise burrow]

Do the top players and streamers play on hell mode?
What’s the highest heat record in 1.0?

[indigo canopy]

probably 63

[floral shore]

No one has gotten even close to 63 as far as I know.

[indigo canopy]

damn really?

i saw someone beat the game with only artemis cast

[wise burrow]

Do all of the top heat runners play on normal?

[indigo canopy]

so i thought maybe someone could do it

[wise burrow]

Some dude said he beat 57 but that’s with routing. Illegitimate

[austere jacinth]

Someone probably will eventually.

[floral shore]

Unseeded highest right now should be 54-55.

[glacial vine]

this makes me want to tryhard 63 xd

[floral shore]

Borderline impossible, I'd say, but good luck.

[main lark]

hey you guys know where I can get good resolution images from some of the sprites in the game? I'm planning to make stickers for me but the screenshots are just too small

[gusty slate]

Sadly no

SGG I will pay for a wallpaper of the entire cast in that artstyle though

[vapid pollen]

I’d love a long poster of the map you traverse as you go between biomes

[raven lava]

tbh 60 heat could be doable

everything but tight deadline

to give yourself the time to wear down the hard bosses

[main lark]

does someone know if somehow I screenshot in higher resolution (4K and stuff) would make the screenshots better quality?

[harsh fulcrum]

I just got a thanatos room where the only enemies were elites and chariots 😦

[midnight wasp]

i’m really loving this game so far

it says the farthest chamber i’ve reached is 7

[quaint hatch]

[tepid plover]

My farthest is 70, I miss the days when id die to meg

[runic lintel]

I miss those days too

Since I’m a roguelike player I grew out of it fast. 💔

[midnight wasp]

i got to some new part with some monster i haven’t seen before but i died

[zinc nacelle]

did you guys ascend each level of heat ?

[midnight wasp]

skelly told me about god mode so i turned it on

[zinc nacelle]

so 1 to 32

[lilac crown]

I did until I wanted to unlock the statues

[zinc nacelle]

wdym?

[lilac crown]

there are three statues to unlock

in the room with skelly

you unlock them at 8, 16, and 32 heat

[zinc nacelle]

oh okay

[flat vapor]

you really only need to ascend one level at a time up until heat 20

[lilac crown]

i mean when you complete them

[flat vapor]

because bounties stop at 20

[zinc nacelle]

im just thinking the game is kinda braindead staying at low heat rn while ascending

its just hard to not win

after you get into it

[lilac crown]

yeah, it can feel pretty easy

going from 32 heat to 0 heat was like

"how did i ever struggle with this"

lol

[zinc nacelle]

i have 20 total clears and 17 out of those are on a win streak

[midnight wasp]

i really like nyx. idk what it is about her that i like tho

[zinc nacelle]

its insane

[lilac crown]

nice!

[zinc nacelle]

nyx is cool

but yea

[flat vapor]

i mean, why not just turn the heat up

[zinc nacelle]

cause then rip win streak

😔

[flat vapor]

there's no penalty for not going one level at a time

[zinc nacelle]

its my dilemma

lmao

[lilac crown]

does anyone know how to get zeus's favor?

[flat vapor]

a lot of talking, basically

you know those lines where a god comments on a god you've already picked up? you need all of those about zeus

[tepid plover]

A lot of playing

[lilac crown]

oh

[flat vapor]

and you also need duo conversations between him and demeter

[tepid plover]

Ah yes, dear old dad, going zappy zappy

[lilac crown]

ahhhhh that's probably what I'm missing

given i have 180 hours in the game lol

[flat vapor]

and you also need dialogue about him and hades, between the both of them

[zinc nacelle]

once i lose

[lilac crown]

i have every other favor done

[zinc nacelle]

i will do high heat

probably

[flat vapor]

i'm not sure which duo convo you need, to be safe get both of them

[lilac crown]

trying to 100% the game, already got everythign unlocked and all the achievements

[tepid plover]

Isnt like you can pick lol

[lilac crown]

so time to grind more runs i suppose

[zinc nacelle]

i cant even unlock guan yu

funny game

[tepid plover]

It is indeed a fun game

[zinc nacelle]

yes and it hates me

i want my hidden aspects GODDAMIT

[tepid plover]

[lilac crown]

*gods

😛

[tepid plover]

Language

[zinc nacelle]

huh

?

[lilac crown]

I think we're not supposed to swear around here?

[zinc nacelle]

lmao

is that swearing?

damn

[tepid plover]

Nah , aspects is fine

If the bot is ok with ut

Then is fine

[gusty slate]

Don't try to get around bot though, mods don't like that

[tepid plover]

[runic lintel]

Wild

[tepid plover]

Smh zeko

[runic lintel]

Blood and gore? Fine

Swearing? UNCHRISTIAN

[quaint hatch]

It's blood and darkness

[runic lintel]

They should let Zagreus swear.

[quaint hatch]

Eh

Wouldn't enhance the dialogue

[quiet gull]

What are you talking about? He invokes the name of Hades plenty of times!

[austere jacinth]

He does swear a couple of times.

I'm sure I've heard him use the word for an illegitimate child.

[zinc nacelle]

updating the rooms with decorations and stuff is SO ANNOYING

let me pick a few things

not show me every single change

[midnight wasp]

i made it to a part where hades sent in wretched monsters and i was surrounded and well i died

[austere jacinth]

Dying does happen.

[quiet gull]

Objective: Survive

[tepid plover]

Lmfao reminds me when skelly first appeared "What the..."

[zinc nacelle]

the survives rooms are the worst

bc they are so easy and boring

tip: walk in a circle

[tepid plover]

Tip, dodge all around

[quaint hatch]

Tip just take TD
No survival rooms

[queen wharf]

Once you get better, you can use them as a source of more gold

Kill as many as fast as possible

[zinc nacelle]

oh

i forgot

damn

okay ill kill em next time

[quaint hatch]

But they boring tho

[tepid plover]

Once you get better, you can use them as a source of more gold
Exactlyyyyy i told vo1di the same

Ez obols

[quaint hatch]

Boring obols

[tepid plover]

Theseus is boring

[quaint hatch]

[tepid plover]

Boring darkness

And gems

[quaint hatch]

Should play on higher heat then

[tepid plover]

If I wanted to suffer I'd look up his dialogues on youtube

[quaint hatch]

If you'd get far enough you'd hear them yourself

[tepid plover]

You Blackguard!

[quaint hatch]

Blasted fool

[true fern]

How the h*ck do I get Bad News?

Been trying for a good while now

[quaint hatch]

Plume

Maybe

It's one of the prereqs

Next to using stygian

[true fern]

Wait

[flat vapor]

use stygian soul with plume

[true fern]

What's stygian soul? Stygius?

[flat vapor]

or use stygian soul and get a cast-related hermes boon, before picking up another hermes boon

mirror trait

opposite of infernal soul

[true fern]

Oh that's a prerequisite?

Ah I see now.

Must be quite common people are having my issue right? The regenerated casts doesn't seem very good to me

[tepid plover]

I love it

[quaint hatch]

It's good on non cast builds

[brisk trail]

So what is the difference in between hell mode and normal mode?

And also, I'd like to switch over to hell mode if there's a big enough difference

because I want to really make the game kill me

[tepid plover]

Just play maximum heat

Game will probably kill you 🤣

[gusty slate]

hell mode is about the same as normal, it has it's own extra pact

[brisk trail]

Also my save data got corrupted so I wanted to start anew

[gusty slate]

but it's harder at first also

[tepid plover]

You start at heat 5

And it removes the shield you get when taking big dmg

[alpine fulcrum]

why am i not just farming furies and hydra at low heat with various weapons for bounties

[sturdy phoenix]

New patch n still not on console

[dire rose]

what does mean in the patch notes?

[sturdy phoenix]

I crydon't ;-;

[frozen sorrel]

Guan Yu change is nice, was very clunky for a HP reduciton weapon

[ionic trail]

"small patch"

Patch notes for days.

Need to get another run in then

[modern osprey]

any chance we'll get cross saves soon?

[pallid snow]

That small dude is a community suggested change making it in

[flat vapor]

what does mean in the patch notes?
feedback taken from the community

[brisk trail]

Update not for switch aaaauuuugh

[uneven spruce]

Rip no cross saves

[modern osprey]

i haven't bought it for the switch yet bc i want cross saving :(

[gusty slate]

Switch will take a bit x.x

[wise stratus]

Guan Yu even better?

[uneven spruce]

My switch save is ahead of my PC save now lmao

[alpine fulcrum]

i might get the game for switch when its actually updated

[dire rose]

@flat vapor thank you!

[flat vapor]

👍

[pallid snow]

Can I use the Vulkan renderer with the EGS version

[lucid sigil]

Game is worth buying twice!

[visual remnant]

didnt they say that the cross save was to be added this month

[modern osprey]

i def wanna buy it twice but i want to keep my saves

[brisk trail]

probably no cross saves rn since different platforms are updating at different rates

[pallid snow]

With the same launch option ofc

[lucid sigil]

Oh yea, my bad 😐

[uneven spruce]

I started over on the switch, so I can experience 1.0 from the very beginning, highly recommend this as well if you've been playing early access on the PC

[lone flame]

Anyone have a save with Hell Mode? Was wondering what it was like

[dense sluice]

hades online?

[gritty marlin]

is there a use for the purple gems after you complete the mirror? I think they are the only currency you can't trade for something else

[wise stratus]

Hey. I've finished the game and need to farm darkness and gems. I'm wondering if I should use conch shell or if that will get repetitive. 🙂

[gusty slate]

not bad idea

[wise stratus]

Not that I mind getting Exclusive Access and Sweet Nectar every game 🙂

[gusty slate]

chance at the fishing legendary too I think?

[wise stratus]

Yeah, Poseidon is designed for farming

[magic sable]

how to activate vulkan in epic store?

[wise stratus]

I can farm with just chaos but it's not as efficient

[gusty slate]

Darkness (purple gems) have more usage later in the game @gritty marlin for unlocks

Pos + Chaos is big farms

[real fossil]

@gritty marlin spoiler! || post main story youll unlock this guy called resources director for badges; cumulatively theyre like +300k darkness + other resources||

[gritty marlin]

👀 I JUST GOT END REAL CREDITS YESTERRDAYYY.. thanks @real fossil

[crimson harbor]

Oh, I completely forgot about that, I kept stacking up gems without knowing what to do with them

[real fossil]

also there are themes for the victory screen

[gritty marlin]

[crimson harbor]

Now I know how to spend them, thanks for the reminder

[wise stratus]

I'm still maxing out my mirror and work orders 🙂

[real fossil]

still need the last 2250 for the persuasion thingo

[wise stratus]

I'm halfway through FA

need like 8000 more

[zenith mauve]

The Netflix Show Blood of Zeus just premiered

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/340718467130851331/770784790261137458/unknown.png why can't i reroll

[wise stratus]

You've got Fated Authority

[summer loom]

Isn't rerolling just on a door itself

[lone flame]

@wet marsh you have authority

[summer loom]

not on the boons offered

[wet marsh]

is that just for doors

dumb

[wise stratus]

Yeah

[quaint hatch]

Persuasion is for boons

[cunning root]

There is a version for boons

[wise stratus]

The other one is for boons 🙂

[gusty slate]

boons and wells

[wise stratus]

wells 😄

[real fossil]

and the thing u sell ur boons too

[wise stratus]

save yourself the anguish, never reroll well

[summer loom]

ah, still waiting for controller split aim and movement before I get back into the game :p lol

[real fossil]

is that a well too(?) HAHAHAHA

[gusty slate]

but but but... anti-cats

[wise stratus]

just athena dash

B)

also glad I'm not the only one who calls them cats

[indigo canopy]

The Netflix "Anime" Blood of Zeus just premiered tonight
@zenith mauve i saw the ad for it a week ago and ive been excited

[gleaming shard]

||finally escaped 10 times, wasn't confident with my build but was ready to fight and then dad just lets you through||

[quaint hatch]

[indigo canopy]

||finally escaped 10 times, wasn't confident with my build but was ready to fight and then dad just lets you through||
@gleaming shard same thing happened to me

no dd and half health i was like smh gonna lose my streak

[zenith mauve]

Between Hades and Blood of Zeus, it's shocking to have two different properties with positive portrayals of Zeus releasing so close from one another

90% of Greek Mythology fiction is "Zeus is the villain"

[gleaming shard]

amusingly the build i was least confident in nabbed me my fastest last boss fight, only took 2 and a half minutes

[frozen spire]

||Slightly increased chance to find Fishing Points in Chaos||

finally

[gusty slate]

RNG still won't bless me with those even now

[real fossil]

same

[gusty slate]

gets fishing spot before that room

Curses!

[fresh magnet]

blood and duckness

[real fossil]

this is what they meant by the underworld conspiring against u

[austere jacinth]

Between Hades and Blood of Zeus, it's shocking to have two different properties with positive portrayals of Zeus releasing so close from one another
@zenith mauve I would say Hades is more even-handed with Zeus. He's helpful, but he makes some questionable decisions, for sure xDD

Not as bad as the mythological version, thankfully. But still not wholly positive xD

[zenith mauve]

Hades is like this with everyone tbh

beyond like Artemis

[ivory walrus]

oooh we migth still get some new updates besides just tweaks, nice

shouldnt get too ahead of myself though I suppose

[austere jacinth]

Zeus definitely seems to have made more questionable decisions than most Hades characters. But, then, he is still Zeus.

[zenith mauve]

Yeah but that's more nuanced then

"Lmao Zeus is a psycho ultra rapist monster"

Which is what most things do nowadays

[ancient canyon]

hey so i just got to the credits.. how many more runs does it take to finish the epilogue?

[zenith mauve]

No idea

Oh yeah

||Max out Persephone profile||

that's it

[ancient canyon]

so.. just keep going until something happens?

[zealous raft]

is that possible that DS4 doesn't works when i'm using Vulkan on Steam?

[gusty slate]

Oh is that really the only pre-req? Swore there was a prophecy for it?

[zealous raft]

running DX version is just fine

[austere jacinth]

Nuance is good to have. Hades is excellent in that regard.

[barren ocean]

YAY MORE FISH IN CHAOS

[gusty slate]

Is what I would like to say, fishing spot before chaos welp rip

[indigo canopy]

zeus calling nyx a catch to zagreus while he thinks that zagreus is her son

[gusty slate]

The Artemis Zeus duo has interesting dialogue

[indigo canopy]

why wont u ******* your brothers and sisters like the rest of ur siblings???

[hallow kayak]

Just saw the patch, I didn't realize they were still taking feedback, where do I even submit feedback?

[gusty slate]

There's a test branch

but it's mostly balances and bug fixes

[austere jacinth]

Zeus and Poseidon both want to set Artemis up with someone. xD

[gusty slate]

#test-branch-readme

by no means does the test branch mean they are doing big content with Hades further

Further work is yet to be confirmed or denied as they haven't said anything about their break ending

[wise stratus]

I've only found 2 bugs in this game

both were funny 🙂

[gilded narwhal]

@ancient canyon without spoilers, you want to be gifting as much as you can to the olympians

as well as completing their requests if they have any

[gusty slate]

Ah so there is a prophecy for it yeah

[indigo canopy]

i have 3, text randomly changing font, ||hades fight breakable pillars|| randomly appearing and his ||lasers|| going through the non-breakable ones

[wise stratus]

Just play for fun, level keepsakes and gift people and epilogue will come 🙂

[lusty junco]

Is there a resource anywhere that has all the attack values, percentage ranges for each boon tier and level, and interactions between additive and multiplicative bonuses? I've really wanted to compare theorycrafted builds at-a-glance and maybe build some kind of calculator. Unless that's been built already and I just can't find it?

[gusty slate]

Apparently Zeus aspect being able to 'hit' zag isn't a bug

Uh holdon I have adoc link somewhere

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P6oZ6i8zmY6s7PM_AkX_g6bjZ601iP_xi9CxzEpujJ4/edit? this?

[lusty junco]

oh wow I LOVE this

[flat vapor]

lol at tempest strike

[merry talon]

You know how achilles aspect buff doesn't refresh unless you've used up all 4 charges? Do other people also think this is a bug?

No other buffs work that way afaik

[gusty slate]

Wait, isn't divine too high?

I guess I never realized it was tied with dem

[lusty junco]

What are those coefficients next to the subheadings for each category? 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, etc?

[gusty slate]

?

give me coordinates

This also isn't mine,

[flat vapor]

What are those coefficients next to the subheadings for each category? 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, etc?
rarity for attacks is based on a random multiplier

[gusty slate]

Hm... I should go check some of these

[lusty junco]

B7, B13, B19

[flat vapor]

for example, common deadly strike is +20%, and a rare deadly strike is randomly between 1.3-1.5x that 20%

[gusty slate]

scaled up base common, yeah ☝️

[lusty junco]

Ah, so it indicates the lower and upper ranges of the damage multiplier at each tier?

[flat vapor]

yep!

[lusty junco]

so a rare Hreatbreak Strike will spawn with somewhere between +65% and +75% damage

[wet marsh]

can you get duos on a reroll

[gusty slate]

Yes

If you have the pre-reqs

[lusty junco]

is that range weighted or is it completely random?

[lunar cypress]

Huh, I didn't know there was a range for the rarity, I assumed it was always the same for each besides Chaos

[true fern]

What does the white shiels-like thing around the witches circle enemies' projectiles do?

[gusty slate]

That's from you deflecting?

[lusty junco]

and side question, what are the base probability values for common/rare/epic/leg/duo before chaos and mirror bonuses? and do those bonuses stack or multiply? I mean if anyone knows

[true fern]

No there's like a white bubble around the projectiles, and I don't even have deflect

[gusty slate]

Hm

Are they elysium witches by chance? I don't recall that

[lunar cypress]

Witches Circle right?

[flat vapor]

ah, you mean the asphodel witches' circle

[lunar cypress]

I think you have the ||midboss heat option|| on right?

[flat vapor]

that's the middle management buff, those projectiles cannot be destroyed

[lunar cypress]

^

[gusty slate]

Oh is that it? ohhhh

[true fern]

@lunar cypress ah yes

[lunar cypress]

Can't bop em, but I think you can still deflect?

[true fern]

Ah they can't be destroyed. Can they be deflected?

[flat vapor]

yes

[true fern]

Ah thanks!

[odd quail]

So today I did about 4 runs, all back to back, with a Posidon focus to try and mark second wave and the boon you can only get from Posidon's call.
I got second wave relatively easily, but after 4 runs, only 2 of which I get the call and one of which I got the call at the very beginning, I STILL haven't got it.

[upbeat haven]

Hey, where do you leave some idea for boons change?

[odd quail]

Cuz the game's in 1.0 now they closed the feedback channels O think.

[gusty slate]

Yeah they aren't taking feedback atm

Sounds like some bad RNG for pos boon

[odd quail]

But seriously, even when using seed manip to get the call right out the gates, I then only see 2 other Posidon boons the entire run, and they both have nothing.

[upbeat haven]

That was to give Poseidon's second legendary some love, dunno why it exists atm to be honest xD

[odd quail]

I almost wish I played more in EA so I could skip getting it lol

[barren ocean]

does anyone know when the patch is going to be out for switch

[gusty slate]

Don't think we know an eta, but I hard heard cross save this month?

[odd quail]

But a pos call + Aphrodite/Zeus duo (the god guage auto fill one) run was Hella fun and memey tho.

[real fossil]

ive never tried the aphro/zeus duo is it good? cuz i always like saving up for greater calls

[gusty slate]

spam aphro call

everyone loves you

[barren ocean]

^^

[upbeat haven]

It's nice

You use call like every 3sec

[barren ocean]

especially if you have the zeus boon that increases damage for 15 seconds after call

and the zeus boon that increases god gauge with dmg

then you spam call and do lots of dmg

[real fossil]

oh that makes sense with the post-call boons

[barren ocean]

charm also interupts boss movements so its great

[upbeat haven]

And Hermes 30% dodge with a 33% hermes keepsake znd Zagreud fists

[hexed trail]

when everyone is dead but your charmed buddy and you have to put them down

[gusty slate]

Slap on Hermes dodge after call too

[real fossil]

"love hurts"

[upbeat haven]

Aphrodite's love more

Never will she put me down in trials, she trashtalks right where it hurts

[real fossil]

what r the hardest/easiest trials for yall?

hands down for me athena is easiest

[upbeat haven]

Easiest is Athena by far since she does nothing to you

[real fossil]

i feel bad cuz i always piss her off HAHAHA

|| demeter || is pretty ez too

i hate aphro's

[raven lava]

Ares trial is easy

Never piss off aphrodite

[upbeat haven]

Small rooms Demeter can be tricky, but I hate more Poseidon... The 1.0 changes on his trials, help

[hexed trail]

Athena, Artemis, Ares are all pretty easy

Poseidon and Demeter always mess me up though

[upbeat haven]

Artemis in 40% I didn't like

[shell swift]

Yeah, Demeter's slow is super annoying to deal with

If it was just area denial and dots, wouldn't care too much

[upbeat haven]

The slow and dot in hellmode tho

Help

Lava ++

[gusty slate]

Demeter combos me, if I'm not paying attention

[hexed trail]

Yeah, I seem to always blunder right into the middle of her vortex and sit there thinking "what the heck is damaging me" like a dummy

[lunar cypress]

Yeah I'm not sure why that happens but it does to me too

Is it just that initial appearance of it is so hard to see?

[runic lintel]

I hate poseidon trial

[wet marsh]

if you give up will the seed be the same next time

i think it will right

[frank ridge]

What's the latest on cross save?

[austere jacinth]

No news. Devs are on a break post-launch.

[brisk trail]

I'm just finding there's no variety in terms of runs anymore

Only so many times you can fight Furies/Lernie/Theseus/Hades

And trash mobs

[quiet gull]

Have you tried increasing the heat'

[wet marsh]

are there plans to add new olympus gods

at some point

[austere jacinth]

Not currently. The devs are on that break I mentioned. No new stuff is being worked on that we know of.

I mean, I'd love to see more gods (Apollo pleeeease~), but I don't expect it. xD

[hardy escarp]

Dude I would love to see apollo in game

Isn't he the god of music, archery, and the sun? all at once?

[long cedar]

and healing

[hardy escarp]

Oh yeah u right

I think I know what his status effect would be

[austere jacinth]

I dunno if they'd let him keep the sun, as Helios is mentioned too. But Apollo's also the god of healing and disease.

[hardy escarp]

Apollo stole his car lol

[long cedar]

he either gonna be support god like hermes or other

[raw holly]

so, is there no way to get into hades bedroom? the big ass locked doors

[hardy escarp]

Keep playing

[austere jacinth]

Keep playing~

[long cedar]

yup

[raw holly]

ok i couldnt find anything on the wiki and thats my main motivation to continue

[austere jacinth]

Someone suggested a blinded status for Apollo, which could be interesting.

[raw holly]

oops i said the poop word

[hardy escarp]

I feel like I wanna stick with the sun cuz I have a cool idea for it

[long cedar]

if u beat hades 8/9 times maybe u can go to hades room

[hardy escarp]

it would apply multiple stacks on one target and the more you apply the more damage it does when it bursts in an area

[austere jacinth]

Artemis does at least keep her moon iconography in her design. So Apollo mirroring that wouldn't be too far from the realm of possibility.

[hardy escarp]

Kinda like the one Ares boon, but not as strong as doom

since its area

[raw holly]

@hardy escarp when you say bursts in an area do you mean like, a procable explosion when you hit X amount of stacks? or after X amount of time all stacks detonate?

something like one of those?

[austere jacinth]

You can get that with Chill though

[hardy escarp]

2

[austere jacinth]

The ten-stack clear Chill thing.

[raw holly]

yeah but thats not quite the same, i like both

[austere jacinth]

And you can get Doom to work in an AOE with a few things.

[hardy escarp]

This would just be base in his kit tho

[long cedar]

i prefer decay than blast

[austere jacinth]

Same, but it's there.

[hardy escarp]

Kinda almost like the ||lucifer hellfire||

but you put it in a target

[austere jacinth]

I think I'd keep effects like that for Hestia or Hephaestus over Apollo. You can do some more creative things with Apollo.

[brisk pivot]

there is crossplay correct i play on switch but its on sale in epic i can play the same profile?

[austere jacinth]

I don't think so.

[hardy escarp]

what about inaccuracy

it causes ranged enemies to shoot out in wrong directions and a chance for Melee enemies to miss

[brisk pivot]

hephaestus would add more "daedalus" and also make for some interesting duo boons like zeus(threw him from olympus) aphrodite(cheating wife) ares(wifes lover)

[austere jacinth]

Hera threw him, no?

[brisk pivot]

i thought zeus did

[hardy escarp]

Yeah p sure that was hera

[austere jacinth]

Ah, there are probably different versions of that myth. But I recall it being Hera who yeeted him.

[hardy escarp]

Olympus is kind of an A-hole to Our boy Heph

[brisk pivot]

lmao

they both yeeted him

zeus was first

https://www.thoughtco.com/hephaestus-111909

poor guy crippled ugly deformed yeeted by both parents and cheated on

[austere jacinth]

To be fair, Aphro was never into Heph. She was just given to him.

[brisk pivot]

she couldve just left him she enjoys his agony lol

[hardy escarp]

She can't just "Leave him"

[brisk pivot]

i want heph now, for real itd be some awesome boons

[hardy escarp]

They all live on olympus lol

[austere jacinth]

She didn't have the right. And she... kinda did. Also, Heph doesn't live on Olympus due to the aforementioned yeeting xDDD

To ugly for the mountain.

[hardy escarp]

Fair point

[halcyon dew]

do boons stack?

like if i have the same one twice

[hardy escarp]

There should be a labryinth floor change my mind

@halcyon dew impossible

[austere jacinth]

The same one twice??

[brisk pivot]

i think he doesnt go back up for fear of another yeeting lol

[halcyon dew]

i mean

[austere jacinth]

The whole Underworld is an ever-shifting labyrinth.

[brisk pivot]

the labyrinth floor should be asterius then?

[halcyon dew]

the name changes

but the icon

and the description

is the same

[hardy escarp]

Bruh u mean Poms?

[halcyon dew]

the thing chaos gives

[hardy escarp]

ohhhhhhhh

Chaos is an exception

but yes, they do

[long cedar]

oh u can have a lot same boons if chaos

for the olympians u cant

[hardy escarp]

Its impossible to get the same boons twice with olympus

but chaos yeah happens legit all the time

[brisk pivot]

okay one thing i dont get in this game. Where is gaia and father sky?

[austere jacinth]

Also, all the gods have multiple love interests. Ares and Aphro aren't each others one and only, although they do seem to have genuine affection for one another. ||Ares expresses an interest in Than, and later, in Nyx.||

[tropic panther]

Ive got the final rank, im almost poor

[brisk pivot]

o dude all of them are into everyone lol

[austere jacinth]

Well, not all. Some abstain.

Like Artemis and Athena

[brisk pivot]

when you live forever you get bored

[hardy escarp]

Well like consider Percy Jackson

They have an entire camp full of god children

[austere jacinth]

I've never gotten into Percy Jackson. I think I was a little older than its target demographic when it got really bit. Not against it though, I just don't know much about it.

Although making a whole camp of god-children seems like... you really want god-grandchildren.

[brisk pivot]

i liked it thought it was interesting twist on the whole thing

[hardy escarp]

Those books are what really got me into mythology tbh

[brisk pivot]

i never got into the others but they ruined it

[hardy escarp]

How so

I do know those books aren't favourable to Ares. Poor Ares xD

[hardy escarp]

Yeah Ares is a legit villain in the first book lol

although he is the god of war so

[austere jacinth]

Someone quoted me a thing where he 'loves his sons more than his daughters' and No. He. Doesn't. xDD

So's Athena. And she's way more misogynistic. Give Ares a break! xDD

[hardy escarp]

Who quoted you that I don't think that's in the book

The main representative of the Ares cabin in those books is a girl so...

[austere jacinth]

A friend. And I'm paraphrasing 'cause I can't remember the exact words.

[hardy escarp]

Nah I'm pretty sure legit any variation of that is false

Although making a whole camp of god-children seems like... you really want god-grandchildren.
@austere jacinth They ban in cabin relationships because that's... yknow... Weird

[austere jacinth]

They can ban it all they like but that has NEVER WORKED IN HUMAN HISTORY.

[hardy escarp]

In cabin relationships is literally incest

[gusty slate]

Well... it uh...

[hardy escarp]

Consider that the gods are married to each other, I would think that their kids are far enough apart to do the same

[sharp sluice]

my audios are so messed up

for some odd reason i head bosses and fish and some other stuff out of place, the character can be on my right but the audio look like it's coming from my left

but i do audio testing and it's look fine on my end, tested other games are fine then i play Hades...and it's doomed

is this a bug ?

[austere jacinth]

Try asking in tech support or looking in tech fixes?

'Cause I dunno, mate.

[sharp sluice]

alright

[thorn tendon]

I love that the patch notes have translations from the classical Greek texts

[hardy escarp]

I wonder if this game will ever get any fat mods like Isaac

Like Jesus dude that game got a mod so huge that it's being developed into a DLC

[gusty slate]

Who knows

modding community is at work though

[hardy escarp]

Chat dead

[gusty slate]

I've been a chat killer before

My resume says so

[hardy escarp]

Wow legit all 4 Hades chats are ded

[gusty slate]

Excellent

[carmine ravine]

poor chat, no more meowing can be heard

[gusty slate]

approves

= Red from pokemon though.

[indigo canopy]

i have an important lore question

how did the bull of minos get to elysium

i dont imagine anyone gave him charon’s obol for his eyes or mouth

[quiet gull]

The answer is within the game

Just keep playing

[indigo canopy]

hm is it later on

[hexed trail]

I believe it's mentioned in his codex entry

[quiet gull]

Also, Charon isnt the only way to get to Hades!

[indigo canopy]

is it not?

[quiet gull]

No, Hermes and Thanatos both are also psychopomps

[indigo canopy]

does it not go hermes, thanatos, charon

all three are part of the process no?

[brisk trail]

I know Thanatos specifically handles non-violent deaths.

It's part of why Ares freaks him out so much.

[spiral cargo]

whats direct x, vulkan, and 32bit

[brisk trail]

Like Ares is the world's freakiest cat who keeps trying to feed Than but Than's just crying at all the birds that Ares has maimed.

[spiral cargo]

for hades

[quiet gull]

whats direct x, vulkan, and 32bit
@spiral cargo Just choose direct x

They are render methods, and if you choose one and cant see anything in the game, just choose another one

[spiral cargo]

is it for game quality

like visual

[indigo canopy]

i thought that they all handled the process of death not different types

ares fuels the passion of war, hermes collects the dead souls and bring them to thanatos, who idk properly kills them and delivers them to charon

[hexed trail]

I know Achilles specifically mentions he didn't encounter Thanatos at all when he died since he died in combat

[indigo canopy]

that’s what i would’ve thought

but all souls have to meet charon no? with an obol or two

[gloomy quartz]

anyone have high quality rips of those chibi icons for each character? 👀

[merry jewel]

honestly ||teaching tisiphone to say zagreus|| makes her significantly more intimidating

[crystal jackal]

Idk if its highqual but i have some rips of some of the stickers @gloomy quartz

[brisk trail]

||Mmmurder Zagreusss.||

[gusty slate]

I prefer running into "redblood"

[hexed trail]

We need to get her and Charon in a room together

[gusty slate]

Maybe I'm a masochist, but...

hrrrrnnnn

[gloomy quartz]

👀

[spare ridge]

charon’s one of the best lads let’s be honest here

[merry jewel]

one of my fav interactions in that vein was jsut the

||murderzzerr..... did you say murderzer? MMMURDERZERR.. oh my god you did say murderzer||

[stiff nexus]

not sure this is the right channel giving it a shot tho : I know those say themselves limited edition and only while it last... but I've seen sometimes people do another batch when the demand is more than they expected is there any news about it ? https://store.supergiantgames.com/products/hades-original-soundtrack-le-vinyl

[gusty slate]

don't think I have heard of any news about the merch, did the other games have a rerun on their stuff?

[north pier]

Not that I know of, but there's always a chance for general repressing at a later date. Seems like they were intentionally going for a limited run though, and it's uncommon that an exact limited edition gets repressed

[stiff nexus]

Damn... worst case I'll go for the regular one but reallllly wanted the LE I seem to have waited too long...

[north pier]

oh gosh, if I sniped every limited pressing I wanted I'd be living on the street asking for money to buy another

also very spicy and hot take but high weight vinyl is virtually to absolutely identical in terms of sound quality for 99.99% of listeners, high gram vinyl only matters if you tend to drop your records on concrete

[stiff nexus]

xD

Yeah I do love the heavier weight and the foil logo

but sound wise I tend to agree with you it's why the normal version is allright too

by love heavier i mean to the feel in hands and stuff

[north pier]

Pretty much, it just feels so much more substantial- and I used to own a holographic dragonite so foil paper is forever etched onto my psyche.

[stiff nexus]

i had a holo char lol

i hate myself i was debating if the 36 USF shipping was worth it 3 weeks ago when i saw the LE".

i regret not grabbing it

USD*

[north pier]

Oh yeah I would take a hard pass on that

I'm lucky to live where I do

I basically shot my record budget for the rest of the year with just domestic shipping

[stiff nexus]

fair

[shy tartan]

dont you hate it when you use your call and the boss just goes invincible for just long enough to not get hit?

[ivory cape]

why does everything cost so much gems

[gusty slate]

stuff ain't cheap

[ivory cape]

but like

itll cost like 50 for a rug

then

8000 for like a thing on the wall

wack

[north pier]

Some stuff is expensive so even long grinds feel like they're building to something

The game is 99% progression, it would be lame if it was easy to progress

[stiff nexus]

agreed

[pale socket]

Has there been discussion on allowing holding down Q to spam special for weapons like spears

or shield

It gets tiring for my finger to spam Q so often if I'm doing a special build

[north pier]

rebind it to mouse

best if your mouse has thumb buttons, but middle click works too

Many mice don't have thumb buttons so they can't default the button to mouse 3 or 4

[pale socket]

hmm actually that's a great idea, maybe only for special runs I'll just swap attack and special

[north pier]

Yeah if you're on MKB then the first thing you should change is the special bind

even putting it on shift is an upgrade

[pale socket]

I actually don't mind Q placement, that's how I've played for last 30 hours but special runs are the only exception to that

[north pier]

Yeah I played with Q for a long time, but the pinky can actually do work if it's bound to shift

and special is actually a huge well of damage that many players aren't maximizing

Q seems like a rough spot to bind the second most important mechanic

[pale socket]

It works well as a supplementary thing, like 70/30 attack to special ratio but if most of your run is spamming special then it's awkward placement

[north pier]

pretty much

[glad mist]

Got the credits babyyyyy

[median crystal]

blizzard shot duo or ravenous will on a zagreus fist build?

[worn musk]

what are y'all's thoughts on the Rail? I kinda hate it ngl

[north pier]

not gonna lie I have like a hundred attempts so far and I haven't tried it in a run yet, i'm like wicked turned off by having to reload

[worn musk]

yeah, i'm doing pretty well in the final fight rn because im not shooting. I went full artemis with the legendary + exit wound

and im sitting pretty good

[north pier]

gotta love cast builds

[worn musk]

first one that's worked

[gusty slate]

Wow those weapon changes were pretty nice

[pale socket]

You get used to the rail after playing with it for a run or two

The trick is to do something during reload, like dash or special

If you got that down it becomes second nature

[ancient canyon]

Hey so is there any consensus on triggering the epilogue, or is it random?

I just finished the credits. Not sure if I want to invest in another 30 runs or whatever

[icy wharf]

Is there any bonus to reaching unshakable bonds?

[flat vapor]

you get a cool quote and cute icon

and a warm fuzzy feeling on the inside that you’ve made a lifelong friendship

[merry jewel]

each bond has a different title

[old tinsel]

is there a rain dance equivalent to summon the crossave update

[merry jewel]

depends on the character

[flat vapor]

cross save dance

if we all spam “cross saves when” in this channel, it’ll happen /s

[old tinsel]
