Love that sword

alpine fulcrum
#

kept trying to get the one for ||lucifer|| without realizing the requirements

#

do they all need ||5 blood spent on that weapon||

gusty slate
#

pretty much

#

Also need the specific NPC to notice you using that weapon once

shut wolf
#

i played a lot and still cant get the sticker from Hypnos.. whats triggering it cant figure it out

gusty slate
#

RNG dialogue

#

Need ||To go through some dialogue with Hypnos and Thanatos if I recall||

ebon thistle
#

Im so glad that Hades have a unique quote when Zagreus uses ||Sigil of the Dead against him.|| ^_^

vestal plank
#

so for ||charon|| things how many times do i need to roll through him before unique rewards?

visual frigate
#

Man, y'all ever have those runs where you know its gonna be a bad one

hardy escarp
#

Yes

#

happens all the time

thorn sun
#

"why cant i play in the slapstick adventures of Skelly instead of angsty twink escapes hell" - my friend referring to hades.... I think he might have a favorite character

opaque nexus
#

yay just got the phrase for ||excalibur||
@alpine fulcrum great weapon, one of my favorites

wheat kayak
#

ngl I can't not see Fate's take on the ||Excalibur|| everytime I pick it up
(..cue 'read the original Arthurian myth pls for gods' sake')

opaque nexus
#

I just hear โ€œfool!โ€

wheat kayak
#

One of those days I'll watch Zero and Heaven's Fall

#

Or was it Heaven's Feel

opaque nexus
#

What

brisk trail
#

I love Charons bow itโ€™s so much fun

opaque nexus
#

Charon has a bow?

brisk trail
#

Anyways thatโ€™s all I had

opaque nexus
#

You mean Chiron

brisk trail
#

The aspect of chiron feck

#

Typo

opaque nexus
#

It is good

#

Just solid

#

Take any special except Zeus and ares lol

brisk trail
#

My goto is aphro

#

She buffs the dps so much

opaque nexus
#

I would rather Artemis for that

brisk trail
#

Fair

opaque nexus
#

Demeter is pretty good actually

#

Nice damage buff and stacks chill well

#

If you get arctic blast you can do good stuff with it

mortal mural
#

So it seems there might be a small oversight on the first run in the game. If you make it to the temple of styx, you can have the anvil of daedelus spawn. ||Also Zag mentions to Cerberus that he has to find his mother persphone, before it is revealed that she is his mother. ||

opaque nexus
#

I wish they kept feedback open

mortal mural
#

Yeah seems like a big reveal super early on. ||Kinda invalidates the dream sequence.||

granite ether
#

that seems fine, the vast majority of people won't ||make it to styx on the first few runs and the dream sequence is moreso a flashback so it makes sense that zag already knows who his mother is even prior to the sequence, whereas the player does not||

mortal mural
#

||oooooh its a flashback||

tepid plover
#

so for ||charon|| things how many times do i need to roll through him before unique rewards?
@vestal plank uh?

wheat kayak
#

I don't think you can get anything out of him other than ||loyalty cards||

#

And ||loyalty cards|| are super strong as is

tepid plover
#

i dont understand the question

#

wdym roll through him

#

and what unique rewards

obsidian ermine
#

Guys, i wanna some help here if it's possible. I'm stuck with Dusa romance, i already max her hearts but she just dont appear at Zagreus room... and i think cause of that i cant max aphrodite as well.
Anyone know anything about it?

tepid plover
#

you romance before youre at max hearts

obsidian ermine
#

hm, but i didn't .-. so what now?

tepid plover
#

wdym you didnyt

#

in the codex, do you have the arrow thing unlocked?

obsidian ermine
#

yeah

tepid plover
#

then you already romanced i think

#

i dont really understand ||but you dont really smash dusa just fyi||

obsidian ermine
#

hm, but something is buged i think, cause u know the stickers when u max hearts? i just dont have Dusa and Aphrodite

wheat kayak
#

that's not a bug

#

you'll see

tepid plover
#

dm me a pic of your codex with dusa

wheat kayak
#

just keep playing

tepid plover
#

once you full hearts you should instantly bond tho

obsidian ermine
#

i already platined the game :p

just keep playing
@wheat kayak

wheat kayak
#

at least for me ||Dusa's chibi and bond notification doesn't pop up until you and Dusa, erm, clarified their relationship||

fossil coral
#

this is an idea but you guys think certain gods who offer dmg buffs on basic attacks like the speed god adding more attacks but lower dmg or like the huntress god giving a huge dmg on attacks but will take longer to take to attack

tepid plover
#

dm me a pic of your codex with dusa

wheat kayak
#

wasn't the case for me SVDerp

#

I thought it's intentional

somber shard
#

i can either take the hammer door in tartarus or go visit chaos... what would you do?

tepid plover
#

chaos

#

hammer will most likely respawn

flat vapor
#

what aspect

weary urchin
#

hammer will always reappear

#

you will always be offered at least 2 hammers

wheat kayak
#

depends but you won't miss out on a hammer as long as you haven't maxed your 2 hammer quota

somber shard
#

oh, it always will?

obsidian ermine
#

@tepid plover will send private ok?

tepid plover
#

yes dm

somber shard
#

well i'd be skipping this hammer offering to go visit chaos

weary urchin
#

well

tepid plover
#

it will respawn

weary urchin
#

ok

tulip cobalt
#

Borrowed money from ||Charon||, proceeded to get completely annihilated. All in all, fun experience.

weary urchin
#

so the game wants you to finish a run with two hammer upgrades

#

thats just how it is

#

it will continue offering hammers until you max 2

somber shard
#

ok i just wasn't sure lol

weary urchin
#

including styx

somber shard
#

i see, thanks

weary urchin
#

yeah

#

same with hermes

#

i believe if you skip an earlier hammer you will be guaranteed 1 going into styx but im not sure if its actually a guarantee

#

i know every time i skip hammers i get 1 in styx

hushed violet
#

Borrowed money from ||Charon||, proceeded to get completely annihilated. All in all, fun experience.
@tulip cobalt Ahaha yes, I really enjoyed this surprise

wicked aspen
#

So.... has anyone seen Alex Fernandez's fanart of Hades?

#

Looks pretty legit

#

Like, if someone showed me it and said "this is the flash card for the new update" id say "Yeah, looks like it"

hasty shadow
#

Does anyone have the chaos laugh track

quasi olive
#

Even in Hell Mode with the 25% life regen malus?

tepid plover
#

laugh track?

hasty shadow
#

Yes

tepid plover
#

whats that

hasty shadow
#

||Chaos told me to kill hades with his egg||

tepid plover
#

oh

#

yes

hasty shadow
#

And then he laughs after that

tepid plover
#

oh ok

hasty shadow
#

Did anyone record it or how can I find it

wise stratus
#

Maybe not any more than that ๐Ÿ˜„

granite ether
#

@wise stratus ||4th aspects are spoilers in this channel so please use spoiler tags||

wise stratus
#
  1. I was on mobile. 2. I'm not the only one saying it ๐Ÿ˜„
granite ether
#

doesn't matter

#

still spoilers

wise stratus
#

well you better tell them too ๐Ÿ™‚

granite ether
#

also spoiler tags do work on mobile
|| spoilers go here || for future reference

#

@earnest remnant ||4th aspects are spoilers here, please use spoiler tags||

wise stratus
#

or you could just delete my spoiler message

#

why even tell me to edit it lmao

tepid plover
#

cause deleting is rude

#

so just edit it pls

wise stratus
#

I did edit it

#

he deleted it anyway

granite ether
#

because you gave me unnecessary sass

#

they*

tepid plover
#

i can tell lol

#

i read it

granite ether
#

also, my pronouns are they/them/theirs ^_^

tepid plover
#

"I wasnt the only one" isnt an excuse

granite ether
#

@wise stratus

wise stratus
#

if you're going to enforce a rule, you need to make sure everyone follows it

#

otherwise that is discrimination

tepid plover
#

๐Ÿ’€

wise stratus
#

and sure, delete messages for sass

#

that's a valid reason ๐Ÿ˜„

tepid plover
#

I mean I'm not a mod or anything, and it still looks like you want some problem lol

wise stratus
#

I just don't like people with power thinking they're better than everyone, abusing their position

granite ether
#

this is a spoiler free channel, mods can only enforce what they actively notice

tepid plover
#

They just told you something and you refused

granite ether
#

you're not the only one who's be asked to spoiler tag things

wise stratus
#

I didn't refuse though

#

so now you're lying

tepid plover
#

They are not abusing anything, It is a spoiler

quaint wind
#

chill dude

wise stratus
#

lmao

tepid plover
#

๐Ÿ’€

granite ether
#

it's nothing personal, and nor it is an 'abuse of power'

wise stratus
#

I don't know how to explain something so basic to a person like you

#

sorry

tepid plover
#

Oof

#

Now you're just mad

#

Sorry about that

wise stratus
#

lmao sure

quaint wind
#

this isn't an acceptable way act. aggy asked you to tag a spoiler. there's no reason to act out like this

tepid plover
#

What does "a person like you" even means

surreal pelican
#

Okay I just read everything, @wise stratus it wasn't personal. Messages just get banned when they contain spoilers, doesn't matter if multiple people do it, it's just a basic rule and gets enforced whenever possible.

wise stratus
#

I spoilered it though

#

and it got deleted anyway

#

๐Ÿ˜„

granite ether
#

anyways, onto a different topic

wise stratus
#

so clearly you didn't read everything very well

surreal pelican
#

Okay you don't have to throw so much sass lmao

quaint wind
#

this conversation is over everyone, we're moving on

remote moat
#

maybe this should be solved in dms ?

granite ether
#

what weapons do people enjoy playing the most ^_^

quaint wind
#

i actually really like bow

brisk trail
#

Shield.

surreal pelican
#

Fists all the way baby

brisk trail
#

Beyblade go brrr

granite ether
#

hells yeah klinkHyper

#

Bow was a weapon I really slept on at first

#

it's now one of the weapons I enjoy a metric tonne

brisk trail
#

Chiron's a beast, ngl

fast zenith
#

I am just going to ask here, change the subject lmao

#

I need to ask a dummy question. If you put Old Spiked Collar in Elysium, but use another keepsake in the final region, does it take away the life total you had?

wise stratus
#

yes

fast zenith
#

@granite ether spear is my baby. It is just perfect haha

quaint wind
#

i like bow bc i can attack from afar and then dash away as need be

granite ether
#

niceu mlerp bittie3

wise stratus
#

I'm good with every weapon. Although DT hasn't given me bow in a while. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

fast zenith
#

I do know that many people dislike spear, but I just enjoy the range it gives. I am super bad at shield/fists for example

wise stratus
#

Currently doing a run with secret sword.

quaint wind
#

spear is a lot of fun too. i love throwing it

wise stratus
#

Enshrouded eclipse is great when you only get one room option every time ๐Ÿ˜„

fast zenith
#

do you have any good builds on bow @quaint wind

quaint wind
#

@fast zenith i did pretty decently last time with a zeus heavy build, i had high voltage, thunder dash, and lightning call

pure barn
#

What would you recommend is the Easiest ||heat to get to Hades with fists||

brisk trail
#

||extreme measures||

pure barn
#

Thank you

olive mountain
#

I am concerned that if supergiant has any further update schedule. I 've found lots of things can be expanded.

hasty shadow
#

I want some Helios blessings man

olive mountain
#

Yeah, that would be great

quaint wind
#

right now the team is taking a break, they may or may not have things later

hasty shadow
#

Demeter needs to chill man

#

Hehehe

surreal pelican
#

Hehehe

#

Is it just me or are Hermes boons almost always common

#

Like Hermes boons are just way more frequently lower rarity than other boons

#

|| I don't know about the skulls, but the vase with hands yes ||

granite ether
#

||poison damage is it's own thing, the skulls aren't traps||

#

sure footing helps a tonne with ||heightened security where the redacted pots deal 150 damage||

brisk trail
#

Funny thing ||skulls are enemies so eye of lamia works on them||

wheat kayak
#

Zeus chain lighting works on the ||bloodskulls|| too, i.e. will chain to them so that's neat

wise stratus
#

I completed the codec

winter pike
#

My computer got unplugged and I didn't notice and it died halfway through the final boss on like the best run I've ever had

#

Kms

#

Uuugghh I just got in and my entire run is gone ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

astral osprey
#

Oof

#

Need a hug?

wise stratus
#

I'll take free hugs ๐Ÿ˜‰

unkempt sleet
#

You can recover it

lyric vector
#

Bro i cant use the bow to save my lifeeee

winter pike
#

:OOOO

#

Should I try to do the fix. . .

tulip cobalt
#

The bow can be tricky to use. I find that staying around mid distance works pretty well. That way most attacks give you time to dodge, but you're close enough to dash in an hit with each arrow of your special.

#

Disclaimer, I have no clue what I'm doing.

winter pike
#

Tech fix didn't work rip

#

Oh well

astral osprey
#

Sad times

wise stratus
#

They broke secret spear dash attack ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

winter pike
#

When hearts are locked what do u have to do to get past that ?

brisk trail
#

Depends on the character

winter pike
#

I've been talking to Achilles a ton and I've had ambrosia on me when I visit him but nothing

#

Oh hmm

brisk trail
#

Talk with Patroculus too

#

You need both, aaand Nyx

winter pike
#

Yeee I've been making sure to talk with him everytime I get the chance

brisk trail
#

Or if you wanna figure it yourself, then don't

winter pike
#

:O okee thank u!

brisk trail
#

Yw
You'll also need rng favor heh

pine spindle
#

Took me ages to get some hearts filled. Sometimes it's just luck

scenic panther
#

How much more are the developers going to add into the game?

brisk trail
#

We don't know

#

Three games before this one, none with post 1.0 content, so I doubt they will

#

Right now their plan is to balance and polish, then take a break

winter pike
#

Sad but also there's so much content as is imo

tulip cobalt
#

I don't know how large their other games are, but Hades is huge at the moment. Extra content is likely in high demand, I think it's possible that they continue working on it.

pine spindle
#

It does hint as much in the game

austere jacinth
#

I hope we get more, but I don't expect it

winter pike
#

Yee it's only crazy how big Hades is I didn't expect it and I'm still astonished at times

tulip cobalt
#

Whether or not they add more, the current game is still enormous. I'll be getting a lot of play time out of this one.

#

That being said, if they did decide to make more content for the game, I'd happily pay for extra.

hasty shadow
#

Helios has better be hot

#

hehe

#

Get it

austere jacinth
#

I was a bit sad to learn ||that I couldn't take care of the garden. Like I promised Persephone. That would be a welcome feature for me xD.||

#

Also, EVERYONE is hot, Douglas xP

tulip cobalt
#

They really are. I still think that they should make Artemis a romance option, I don't care what mythology says.

hasty shadow
#

Artemis is best girl

#

Tsundere

austere jacinth
#

Artemis is kinda gay in this game.

pine spindle
#

Not sure she'd be interested in Zag, yeh..

tulip cobalt
#

Fair.

pine spindle
#

Purely platonic

tulip cobalt
#

I still love her. They really knocked it out of the park with all the character personalities. They're all incredible.

hasty shadow
#

Chaos laughing was really cool

austere jacinth
#

I'd love to see her bro. Not as a romance though xD Apollo and Artie are pretty close in mythology.

#

It'd be nice to see what SGG did with their dynamic.

brisk trail
#

i havent heard it

#

is chaos laughing like

#

a "ha. ha. ha. ha." or like

#

genuine laughter

wise stratus
#

I only need 50 more red stuff ๐Ÿ™‚

earnest remnant
#

@granite ether Whoops, sorry, forgot about spoiler tags. Anyway, since the message got deleted, I'll post it again. I would LOVE it if there was a hammer that changed the default spear attack to the spin attack instead (without any charge up). Holding the attack button for the spin is way too slow to be useful in normal gameplay, especially as the heat rises. I think this would give the spear aspects a lot of variability and make them feel more fun. Of course, it might require a lot of balancing to make it work.

#

||Guan Yu would immediately become playable with this hammer.||

wheat kayak
#

Quick Spin is a strong enough hammer to upgrade your spin attacks imo

#

It pretty much doubles, even triples your charging speed (idk the actual increase of speed just guessing)

earnest remnant
#

I've played a lot with quick spin. IMO, you'll still take damage while trying to spin with that hammer, especially with fast enemies. I'll be honest, right now, to me, spin just feels clunky. However fast it gets, it will always need a delay cause the input of the default attack and the spin are on the same button. And that doesn't feel enjoyable. Again, just my personal opinion. I'm sure others think differently.

thorny crescent
#

Iโ€™ve beaten it 7 times now

#

And I have a win streak of 4

full nexus
#

You can dash while spinning, it helps a lot

#

Also. With ||Guan Yu||, your main dps certainly does not come from the spin. It is a way to offset some damage, such a gift comes with downsides of course

#

With Hades, spin-dash(while spinning)-attack works really well even at the highest heats

viscid ocean
#

I hope we get a dlc in which we finally ||go to olympus, maybe breaking the underworld curse||

#

I want to talk to the gods face to face

zealous fiber
#

Has anyone else noticed Rail missiles suddenly changing course?

#

Like, you target a certain area and fire the rocket, then it suddenly changes the location of the AoE mid-flight and lands elsewhere.

vapid pollen
#

It seems to do that if youโ€™re next to a tall object or a wall. They bounce off

zealous fiber
#

I have not experienced that until recently tbh

#

I even employed the tactic of sitting behind a rock during certain boss phases and shooting my special, they didnโ€™t behave like this before

#

Makes certain hammer upgrades very frustrating to use, particularly in the small chambers near the surface

astral osprey
#

Happened a lot to me

steel flicker
#

there has always been a very, very high chance of the bomb(s) to bounce off the rock and go another way when you're behind that rock

astral osprey
#

You can't target an object or something out of the room, it will bounce off

#

Pretty annoying, esp if you have the increased dmg/radius from daddylus

wise stratus
#

I beat my old winstreak ๐Ÿ™‚

thorny crescent
#

I honestly donโ€™t feel like Iโ€™ve gotten better at Hades,I feel like I just get better boons and therefore I just win because of good luck and not actual skill

gusty slate
#

I mean, as long as you're winning, the true test are higher heats

#

could always makea new save and see how much quicker it takes you also

thorn rapids
#

Is there any update on cross save with switch?

brisk trail
wise stratus
#

@thorny crescent Skill takes time ๐Ÿ™‚

zealous fiber
#

Knowing which boons to pick is a skill too

thorn rapids
#

Thanks

sonic ridge
#

Don't let ||Theseus|| get to you, Blackguard!

strange junco
#

is switch crosssave a thing yet

latent junco
#

Not yet

#

No eta either.

zealous fiber
#

How do speedruns for the game function? Is there an "out of game" timer we need to set up or is the official in game timing being taken into account?

gusty slate
#

in-game timer and a recording I assume

#

There's an option to show in-game time as you play, and it'll tell you at the end of the run if I recall

alpine fulcrum
#

speedrunning in roguelikes is so weird to me

#

But less so in this game I guess

#

The range of what can happen is narrower than in a lot of roguelikes

full nexus
#

Styx peepoS

strange ingot
#

I'd love to fight ||all the Olympians|| in some sort of boss rush mode

#

See how far you can go, that sort of thing

austere jacinth
#

Some of them would happily fight you.

#

I'd want more bonding though. Although fighting does seem like a solid way to bond with Ares. xDD

#

hey what's a good build for the achilles spear?

celest cave
#

I just had a run with the adamant rail, gotten the cluster bomb upgrade with rocket. Its so fun 5x rockets!

potent dome
#

sup guys

#

I got a qn, why am I stuck on 20 heats for the weapons ? playing on Switch, thanks

gusty slate
#

stuck?

potent dome
#

yeah i cant seem to add more than 20 heats, no bounties for 21 heat onwards

#

smth like that

gusty slate
#

That's designed that way it seems

#

20 is the last bounty for each weapon

wicked aspen
#

That's by design

potent dome
#

jus Switch i suppose ?

wicked aspen
#

Only reward for after 20, is 32

#

No

gusty slate
#

Switch and PC are about the same game

potent dome
#

ah okay ~

#

gotcha

#

I see

#

thanks for the replies

#

Expect no bounties for this(for now) i suppose a big update is coming or smth

wicked aspen
#

We dont know, odds are super giant is on break, they gave Hades alotta love for alotta years

potent dome
#

I see

gusty slate
#

Cross-saves and some balance/bug fixes

#

Otherwise, SGG hasn't confirmed or denied further work on Hades

wicked aspen
#

Plus, we don't even know if they'll continue supporting it like most rogue likes do

potent dome
#

I did have a lot of fun playing it for a few weeks, got all 20 heats on all weapons lol

#

fun stuff

empty folio
#

Help guys i cant find the chamber reward anywhere

#

It isnt letting me go to next chamber either because i havent found it

#

What can i do?

potent dome
#

there shld be some kinda string leading u to it

empty folio
#

I dont see anything

#

But then agaib i havent noticed a string so far

potent dome
#

if u try proceeding from the gate to the next level, u shld see a string leading u to the reward

gusty slate
#

if you go to the door, there will be a light that should take you to it

#

Unless you're bugged...

empty folio
#

Uhm it let me proceed even though i didnt taie the reward? The door was closed and everything

#

Just missed out on a daed hammer ;-;

brisk trail
#

Had a fun glitch with bone hydra today

#

Had it spit out the enemy balls yet the assets didnโ€™t load in

#

Still had the health bar just wasnโ€™t destroyable till the timer ran out

hardy salmon
#

I came to this discord server just to tell how much i hate the aspect of guan yu. Holy fucking shit, this bitch just sucks ass. Shit new moveset and too hard restrictions. That life steal is a fucking joke. I was trying to escape with this shit for 2 fucking hours, i hade a 10 run winstreak before that shit. So far this game brought only enjoyment for me, but now i'm angry as fuck. Fuck this piece of shit aspect

gusty slate
#

Might be missing assets tbh

#

I know someone came in telling us how Asterius' model wasn't loading in

#

but was still attacking them shadefear

brisk trail
#

Congrats youโ€™ve broken rule 2 wise crack

hardy salmon
#

i don't care

gusty slate
#

Proxy asleep, impressive

brisk trail
#

Yeah Iโ€™m happy it was something small

#

How did that get past the bot

#

#

Screenshot and send it too a mod

#

Alternate character set magick? SVDerp

hexed pilot
#

Bot asleep

gusty slate
#

4th aspect spear is harder to play yeah, need it maxed out

wheat kayak
#

Also sorry that you feel that way because GY is among my fav spear aspects

#

Even unmaxed

#

Why yes I'd like to run out of DDs after redacted chunks me for one DD each hit

gusty slate
#

Straight damage boost compared to base

#

sorta glass cannon I guess lol

wheat kayak
#

Also GY buff latest patch seems good, iirc dash strike damage and normal first hit damage were the same, now it's a bit more respectable

gusty slate
#

Buff was nice, still one of the hardest aspects to use

wheat kayak
#

Honestly though JS3 might be a buff to GY rather than a nerf to you like every other condition is

#

More enemies = more targets to get lifesteal from

gusty slate
#

Of course, unless they're all buffed to no tomorrow xD

wheat kayak
autumn light
#

Is there a demo version of the game? I can buy it but money is tight and I'd like to maybe get a hands on test to see if it's a good idea

gusty slate
#

though if you can dodge good, 4th spear is pretty solid

#

No demo that I know of

wheat kayak
#

No demo unfortunately

gusty slate
#

Can only buy and check out for <2 hours on steam and refund

quaint cradle
#

Hello ive started playing the game recently but have noticed I dont actually hear any music esides when im cahnging the volume of said music

#

learn the ways of Poseidon and set sail to the beyond

Hm, so it's deathly quiet everywhere?

vapid pollen
#

Playing on the Switch but no sound problems.

quaint cradle
#

im playing on steam

gusty slate
#

might need to verify integrity of game

#

might be missing files?

quaint cradle
#

im doing it as we speak, should I be hearing music in the non combat zones aswell? because I could test it there

gusty slate
#

Lemme pull up my game

quaint cradle
#

thanks

gusty slate
#

main screen should have music

quaint cradle
#

I can hear it than just when playing, I think its a bug right?

House has music too it seems

The +Dash-strike bonuses are supposed to apply to the gloves' Dash-Upper, right?

quaint cradle
#

I cant hear it in that case

gusty slate
#

It takes a bit for the music to startup though in the house

#

If you start a run you should hear instant Tartarus music

quaint cradle
#

ill give it a tru

gusty slate
quaint cradle
#

its doing it now seems like the validating worked, thanks

brisk trail
#

Donโ€™t you hate it when you shut your computer off wrong so you go from meta build to dieing on ||hades||

pseudo onyx
#

Either way, I think somewhere along the line someone told me the +dash-upper should benefit from +dash attack upgrades. If that's true, it seems like the ones where 'dash attack does +300% to armor" only applies to the attack and not the dash upper--So just trying to figure out if this is as intended or not (and also means Im gonna take Artemis's dash less now too w/ gloves if so lol)

alpine fulcrum
#

o damn i didnt know ||hades|| gives you a keepsake

gusty slate
#

Oh hammer upgrades are very specific

#

especially on fist, if it says dash-attack, it's dash attack, dash upper for dash upper

pseudo onyx
#

Specific or not, if it uses the same language in two different bonuses, that's confusing

gusty slate
#

if I recall

pseudo onyx
#

I remember asking before if dash-upper was included in the dash attack bonus from artemis and was told yes

#

(I dont know if true, numbers aint my thing)

flat vapor
#

doesn't hunter dash say "dash-strike"

gusty slate
#

Yeah, but hammers are super specific

#

Oh that may be it

pseudo onyx
#

Oh wow, does it say dash strike vs dash attack? Yes that makes a huuuge difference

#

Here I thought it was the same wording oops ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Yes, artemis says "dash strike", but the description does say dash+x (tho I'm in a different weapon run while I'm running this and assume the tooltip might change)

alpine fulcrum
#

can you be hit while ||invisible||

pseudo onyx
#

No, at elast not with greater

alpine fulcrum
#

i mean with the keepsake

pseudo onyx
#

I know, I'm saying greater call, for sure you dont get hit. I think lesser as soon as you attack it breaks?

#

(seems like a possible reference to how normal/greater works in D&D heh)

gusty slate
#

I didn't think I could be hit

wheat kayak
#

same deal with lesser iirc until you attack

gusty slate
#

Yeah that's what I thought

alpine fulcrum
#

im pretty sure ive ||hit hades out of invisibility before|| but im not sure quite how that works

gusty slate
#

Oh lol I troll ||Hades when I have the sigil, I use it when he goes invis and he breaks out fora second||

#

not sure what's supposed to happen zaglol

pseudo onyx
#

My brain is frying trying to think what you're referencing here lol

alpine fulcrum
#

||wonder what hte greater call dialogue is there||

pseudo onyx
#

I mean, in that fight it's "Yeah I hear you" or something it's made me chuckle

gusty slate
#

||FATHER!... WHAT!?|| maybe

wheat kayak
#

'Oh shut up.'

cobalt halo
#

HADES will get more Updates or V1.0 is the last one ?

gusty slate
#

SGG hasn't confirmed or denied big updates. For now just balances and bug fixes... and of course cross-saves

cobalt halo
#

Ok, thanks.

gusty slate
#

They'll let us know if they want to work on Hades more after their break

#

sounds like cross-saves has been a minor nightmare though

surreal pelican
#

Are weapons considered spoilers?

gusty slate
#

4th aspect names are

surreal pelican
#

No just the basic weapons

gusty slate
#

Shouldn't be

surreal pelican
#

Okay I have a question then

#

Adamant Rail with curse of agony

#

Is it possible?

#

Since i'm trying to get it but like Ares is giving every boons except for curse of agony

opaque nexus
#

possible to what

gusty slate
#

It can be, it's a little awkward

#

need the stacking boon

opaque nexus
#

do not recommend curse of agony on rail

surreal pelican
#

Yeah but I also have the stacking boon

gusty slate
#

or Ares/Athena duo

opaque nexus
#

I still don't think it's a good fit for rail

surreal pelican
#

Ah so I'm just unlucky?

alpine fulcrum
#

huh i thought i saw a prophecy for unlocking every aspect, but now i dont see it

unkempt sleet
#

It can work with ricochet

gusty slate
#

It's not the best setup, but you can win with it

surreal pelican
#

Yeah but with the stacking boon I think it's OP

gusty slate
#

Ares/Aphro duo might work too tbh

opaque nexus
#

nahhh

surreal pelican
#

atleast in my head it is

opaque nexus
#

zeus attack is better

gusty slate
#

Sure, but ares can still work xD

opaque nexus
#

on eris anything works

gusty slate
#

Does come down to player skill too for things to work

surreal pelican
#

Currently have the || frost|| one

#

Idk if it is a spoiler

alpine fulcrum
#

anything can work if you dont stand where attacks are

surreal pelican
#

so I just did it in case

viscid ocean
#

I want to mod in a King Bach aspect for the sword

opaque nexus
#

ew

viscid ocean
#

Big spoon sword

#

The special is that zag says only a spoonful and the enemy gets consumed by the spoon

#

After that you can throw the enemy in the direction you are facing

gusty slate
#

A different kinda Talos eh?

opaque nexus
#

I'm not gonna say here why I dont like king bach

wicked aspen
#

I feel like suoer giant should just pin a comment saying "WE ARE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE PLANS TO WORK ON FUTURE CONTENT FOR HADES"

opaque nexus
#

they are not sure themselves though

gusty slate
#

but that's a straight up denial, they are more unsure

viscid ocean
#

I'm not gonna say here why I dont like king bach
@opaque nexus idk king Bach I just know the meme

brisk trail
#

Theres some dude djing in a van for some livestream right next to me

viscid ocean
#

And a big spoon sword is cool

brisk trail
#

And he is making me want to there us no escape myself

surreal pelican
#

I have 8 ares boons and yet no curse of agony shadegrief

#

I just want to see my idea in action

wheat kayak
#

isn't that Ares special

gusty slate
#

curse of agony is attack I believe?

surreal pelican
#

Yeah it is

gusty slate
#

I've done it before, it works... just a little awkward xD

surreal pelican
#

And I want to combine it with Adamant Rail and the stacking boon

quiet gull
#

If you're going for a specific build, keepsake + rerolls is what you want

surreal pelican
#

I kinda dedicated the entire run to getting it and didn't get it in the end ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

wheat kayak
#

Get both Impending Doom and Dire Misfortune if you are doing that

#

rip

quiet gull
#

Did you take something else on attack?

wheat kayak
#

wait did you get a different attack boon

quiet gull
#

Cause that will reduce the chance of getting what you want

wheat kayak
#

before you get Ares attack

#

gods rarely prompts for boon exchange that you might as well never count on it

surreal pelican
#

I did, but sold it when I started going for it

#

Does that reduce chance when sold or no?

quiet gull
#

No, but with these kinds of things, the earlier you go for it the better your chances are

surreal pelican
#

Rip

gusty slate
#

down to rng, I've had buncha boon swaps before

quiet gull
#

So now you need the attack, plus the stacking boon, so two boons minimum

#

Hope you have five rerolls banked up

opaque nexus
#

Coronacht: Aspect of Bart

"You have the Springfieldian Sling and can place traps to prank enemies"

surreal pelican
#

I don't have rerolls unlocked, I already have the stacking boon

#

But i'm in the last area, so there is no chance of getting it anymore shadegrief

gusty slate
#

There is a chance, rather low though

pseudo onyx
#

20% chance if wiki is to be believed

#

so it's the same as it was always

surreal pelican
#

Hm?

pseudo onyx
#

OOPs

#

sorry

#

thought we were talking about fishing hurr durr

surreal pelican
#

How is there still a chance if I'm in the last area? @gusty slate

pseudo onyx
#

read more 1st next time

surreal pelican
#

Hahaha

gusty slate
#

At Styx? I've gotten swaps up there

#

but if no ares, then rip

surreal pelican
#

Yeah but there are no ares boons

#

:((

#

Yeah big rips

#

I was like, maybe there is a teeny tiny chance boons drop randomly after roomclearing or something

heady gulch
#

||i did the fight with charon||

surreal pelican
#

But that's not the case so I cry

gusty slate
#

There's always next time

surreal pelican
#

@heady gulch Congrats! that's really hard

heady gulch
#

yes

#

i dont feel as accomplished tho since i used aegis shadedisgruntled

#

i still had to dodge

surreal pelican
#

I was wondering, does aegis + the deflection on attack boon work with the aegis charge up?

heady gulch
#

idk...

surreal pelican
#

Can you just like hold the shield and reflect stuff? Or does it work differently?

#

Ah

gusty slate
#

don't think so

#

just blocks

surreal pelican
#

ah would've been cool

gusty slate
#

As that's not 'attack' I assume

heady gulch
#

asterius is a giga chad

astral osprey
#

"short one"

heady gulch
#

the thing is

#

he actually thinks your powerful

astral osprey
#

Asterius do be a big cutie

heady gulch
#

and if you beat him, he says you did a good job

#

he is a mega chad

#

theseus on the other hand

astral osprey
#

Theseus is also a big cutie

gusty slate
#

Hellspawn flattery...won't get to...me...

brisk trail
#

Theseus is a rat

astral osprey
#

Come on!

#

I can't be the only one who finds his overly self confident personality kind of adorable right?

brisk trail
#

To each their own

#

Bone hydra kinda cute doe ๐Ÿ˜ณ

astral osprey
#

Also true

tired merlin
#

theseus grew on me like a fungus

#

I love that drama queen

quasi olive
#

Quick question: can Chaos' boons stack with gods' boons for the same attack, say, your Y for example?

tired merlin
#

I think chaos boons are mostly +damage % so I would imagine that they add to boons

gusty slate
#

Like if I have one god's attack boon and chaos buffs attack? yeah it stacks

quasi olive
#

OK cool, thanks guys!

#

Because I had the feeling that whenever I had boons for a specific attack, I had difficulties finding Chaos boons for that same attack, so I was wondering...

gusty slate
#

nah just rng

quasi olive
#

Rngzus not with me apparently...

gusty slate
#

chaos also has a lot of variation boons

#

so the chances are a bit eh...

quasi olive
#

Sure

#

I'm also struggling to find the Slippery negative effect too

heady gulch
#

i just beat a ||e3 theseus and bull man fight ||

#

havent lost to it. YET

pseudo onyx
#

Like if I have one god's attack boon and chaos buffs attack? yeah it stacks
@gusty slate Additively or multiplicatively? haha

gusty slate
#

I thought all damage was additive

mellow pumice
#

yeah it is

pseudo onyx
#

wasn't sure, I assume so otherwise we'd see crazy numbers

mellow pumice
#

otherwise it would be way too messy to calculate

gusty slate
#

Hammers are the interesting ones in which they affect base damage

pseudo onyx
#

I wish we could see in game what the base damage was-->to is without looking at the wiki

mellow pumice
#

yes or things like aphrodites boon that makes weak enemies more susceptible to damage

pseudo onyx
#

They do it for cast- I dunno why they dont for that but shrug

flat vapor
#

most damage is additive

mellow pumice
#

yeah sometimes it would be helpful to see actual numbers along with the percentage, especially in lategame where 6 things are affecting it

#

would be nice to see what exactly is making you so strong

gusty slate
#

stat card would be nice

flat vapor
#

crit is multiplicative (3x damage), and some hammers (specifically "charged" special hammers) say +% base damage, meaning multiplicative

mellow pumice
#

maybe an option that changes percentage >< numbers

pseudo onyx
#

Hell even if it's jsut shown at the end of the run or if/when you uh, get a chance to say, review past runs lol

gusty slate
#

we're not a numbers game here

#

Can't have the boy getting good at math too

mellow pumice
#

if you can show damage numbers on enemies Diablo style you might as well show them in the stats instead of having to try it out

#

oh also ||maiming|| is multiplicative

pseudo onyx
#

Wait, what do you mean it is? On the +Special or something?

gusty slate
#

My lizard brain just sees numbers, hit more times if not dead

pseudo onyx
#

OH you mean the inherent bonus

mellow pumice
#

25% more damage to ||maimed|| foes

#

so all your damage with your boons and all gets multiplied with 1.25

#

1.5 with the hammer

pseudo onyx
#

Yeah, and I imagine that the extra 25% you can get from hammer makes it +50% multiplicative then

mellow pumice
#

but then again, i would ASSUME that aphros boon would ADD on that other end

#

so with ||maim||, hammer and aphro (assuming the enemy is weakened) it'd be around 1.8x damage in total

#

make that crit, 5.4x

#

sorry

gusty slate
#

Now do that to legendary sword

mellow pumice
#

legendary in what sense?

gusty slate
#

4th aspect*

mellow pumice
#

oh wait, do foes take more damage in the ||aura||?

gusty slate
#

no, just big numbers

#

<--- lizard brain

mellow pumice
#

i mean, its thrust does 200

gusty slate
#

Still want to get that 8k someone did

mellow pumice
#

i had 324 base damage on hestia once

pseudo onyx
#

wait i Had my assumptions backward. Additive is what we want almost always, but because there's only one type of multiplicative from 4th aspect, that's actually a big benefit. But as soon as you get more than one thing multiplicative it then becomes bad. I think. Hurr durr

mellow pumice
#

no multiplicative is always way better

pseudo onyx
#

If you have 5 things that are .5 multiplicative, it's worse than 5 .5 that are additive.

#

but if you have 1 multiplicative and 2 additive, that's a pretty big bonus

mellow pumice
#

literally not i'm so sorry

#

ok let me explain though

gusty slate
#

1.5x5 vs .5x5?

mellow pumice
#

let's start with 1

gusty slate
#

Hm. I'm too lizard brain for this I ma stay out xD

flat vapor
#

are you sure maim is multiplicative? just seems like additive to me

pseudo onyx
#

It's a big bonus when you are adding a multiplicative bonus when almost everything else is additive, so like, in Hades, would be big deal

flat vapor
#

wait, just read the wording on it

mellow pumice
#

the enemies take more damage, instead of you dealing more

#

precisely onyx

flat vapor
#

huh, i guess it is

#

that's nicer than i thought it was

mellow pumice
#

i am going to sketch it now

#

yeah my ||gilgamesh|| runs are always the fastest

#

16.24 is my record

pseudo onyx
#

Yeah, so we're taking things outside of the base damage formula by adding a multiplicative part of the formula. That's gonna be a great bonus

mellow pumice
#

plus you get 7 dashes if hermes is nice to you dusa

gusty slate
#

I forgot about that, ruthless is decent on it

pseudo onyx
#

Mmmm 7 epic level wave dashes are just so yummy

I think it's interesting how someone made a "Best Easiest Beginner Builds" video for Hades, and then talks about a Guan Yu Spear build

@hard pier that was Haelian, he is really good

hard pier
#

Good for him

gusty slate
#

I guess if you only have 1 clear for each weapon, haven't spent blood, could speedrun 4th spear

hard pier
#

I'm having trouble with the last boss, personally. Buying the titans blood in the super Shop and getting keepsakes is my main concern anyway

gusty slate

Yeah, but the other stuff at the shop is pretty good

This one speedrunner bablo has like an almost sub 8 minute guan yu time

Maybe I should try that one on 0 heat just to see how fast I can get it lol

I need a billion darkness anyways so

#

The fastest heat for in game time is actually 6

mellow pumice
#

for ||erebus||?

opaque nexus
#

No

mellow pumice

cant think of any other reasons why

maybe hydra is faster

no survival rooms

Yep thatโ€™s one

im guessing ||em2||

Forced overtime reduces spawn times

no em then

Oh

em? acronyms still hurr durr

no survival rooms

Yep thatโ€™s one
i read these together

opaque nexus

Tight deadline is actually bad for in game time, the survival rooms pause the timer so they are basically a free room like a fountain

mellow pumice

@pseudo onyx you have heat, right?

gusty slate

Oh really?

mellow pumice

yeah

Wait so you're forced to speed run in higher heats? Or what's this about time

Ah! duh, thank you. Sorry, I have always struggled with piecing together acronyms in my brain lol

dont HAVE TO, its just the fastest

||skelly wanted me to max my zag sword just for him to pull a prank on me||

What is this for

i drew out Additive and Multiplicative values

Skelly is cool

gusty slate
#

Boyo is great

mellow pumice

Hmmm I just checked my achievements, I'm very close to the epilogue, (I am just missing Demeter, else is maxed) ... no spawning though. The only other things I'm missing are the gifts from Skelly. Theres two. But I have NO idea what triggers this and he's stopped giving me ! for a while now. I really don't wanna look it up but uhh if anybody knows, do I have to do something outlandish that I wouldn't normally try to get this stuff to proc or will general futzing around make whatever this is appear for me eventually?

oh, ended up giving him ||my embrosia||

side hustle would get me about 600 coins

nah im getting that fast attack

gusty slate
#

I like money

hard pier
#

Artemis tho

mellow pumice
#

actually i do have deadly strike thanks for asking

pseudo onyx
#

So I struggle with sword, like even with 4th aspect. I think it's cos i tend to like fast hitting and Dio's dot. For sword, I don't really get which boons make the most sense for me to chase

mellow pumice
#

i despise 4th sword i can NOT handle it right

copper pond
#

Hmmm. Anyways. Does this Skelly gift thing eventually just show up then I've I've maxed out the companion and codex entry and relationship and etc, or should I look up the trigger? lol
@pseudo onyx I think you need to trigger it with a specific action. If you haven't done it by this point you might not do it accidentally ever

mellow pumice
#

i get hit between my swings every time

#

@copper pond we already resolved that lol

#

thanks anyway

copper pond
#

oh sorry

pseudo onyx
#

I usually dash between each swing to hit from behind

#

That's why you get a defense boost, duh

pseudo onyx
#

since it continues

#

And extra health

#

I'm def weakest with sword but that's definitely at least partially cos I'm not interested in it

If not 4th, what do y'all prefer instead? I only take it when it has the darkness buff

sword, unless on 4th aspect, is good

No weapons are bad

mellow pumice

at least for me

I feel like unless I get very specific boon+hammer combo spear takes forever for me to kill stuff

I like spear because it has ranged options

compared to others

it IS funny though how spear went from my fav weapon to "is 2 heat behind the others"

pseudo onyx

oak shore
#

I have a difficult time when I don't have any way to harm from range, since a lot of my playstyle is very kitey

alpine fulcrum
#

what heat level is that

mellow pumice
#

maybe because i got good and dont need range anymore

pseudo onyx
#

I somehow have had the best times and highest heat with the spanner and it's prolly my least favorite lol

i realized the whole concept of going further in heat than you need to and having 'queued up' rewards is more important than i thought

hard pier
#

No idea what you're talking about, but good for you

alpine fulcrum
#

since ||EM2 is worth 2 heat and its uh..kind of a joke||

mellow pumice
#

@hard pier use hestia or 4th lole

hard pier
#

I'm having enough problems on 0 heat lul

pseudo onyx
#

OK, so, if I go Poseidon sword, obv I want to chase artemis removal of cast boon and +casts from her/hermes, (dunno what would be a good cast for that?)

#

and if I go Nemesis, I'm not sure what I'd wanna build

#

It seems like "always aphro special" lol

mellow pumice
#

nemesis is just good by itself

#

maybe not dio

hard pier
#

Tasty tasty crits

mellow pumice
#

synergy with artemis

#

technically at least

alpine fulcrum
#

is dio ever good

#

i think hes worse than aphrodite

sudden dock
#

Just jumped from 8 to 16 heat and did it 1st time! Damn, I'm good. And lucky.

pseudo onyx
#

I find it hard to feel strong with artemis but maybe it's because I just dont notice til the end when I have like, 6 of her boons and finally there's a lot of crit chance and marking going on, but I feel like that's worse on say, last boss esp with EM

#

I love dio on attack and his Duo boons are great

#

attack on fast wep*

hard pier
#

I personally don't like Aphrodite, but that's because I dislike her as a goddess in general

mellow pumice
#

Silence, wench. I do not wish to be horny anymore.

alpine fulcrum
#

think how easy the game would be if you could kill all the other gods besides athena

gusty slate
#

Yeah would insta win, no ||Hades||

pseudo onyx
#

Is this suddenly a GoW alt universe flying? lol

alpine fulcrum
#

i dont believe ||hades or zagreus|| are really gods

gusty slate
alpine fulcrum
#

people just tell them they're gods to make them feel better

mellow pumice
#

i like the concept of zag's godly power being ||the ability to summon those who he has strong bonds with||

pseudo onyx
#

I don't see how that's true for Hades, like. He fights with his other gods, his brothers lol

#

Talking from mythology perspective

#

i like the concept of zag's godly power being ||the ability to summon those who he has strong bonds with||
@mellow pumice ||Well, he's the "god of blood" according to in-game, which I kind of appreciate the whole life-death bond between he and Than||

#

Tho it's phrased as, "if Zag was a god he'd be" not that "he is"

alpine fulcrum
#

||being stuck in dead world no matter what just seems so un-godly||

mellow pumice
#

honestly? kind of disappointing how the ||companions are the 3 romances, and then the 3 people you meet during your escape, Sisyphus, Patroclus and.... not eurydice, but skelly.||

pseudo onyx
#

@alpine fulcrum ||I would dare you to say that to Hades hahaha I feel like death is more far-reaching than just about any of the other godly powers. But yes, almost the most paperwork laden it seems hahah||

hard pier
#

Artemis romance when

mellow pumice
#

i mean, Sisyphus says "You gods are capable of anything" when asked how ||shady|| works

austere jacinth
#

Artemis is your gay cousin, Pidge.

mellow pumice
#

artemis romance when

austere jacinth
#

Never, and I'm pretty sure SGG went on record with that one xDD

pseudo onyx
#

I want a speedrunners only romance with Hermes

mellow pumice
#

next dlc: ||you play as dionysus because hes the same as zagreus||

pseudo onyx
#

lol

mellow pumice
#

to romance hermes you have to get a sub 15 time

pseudo onyx
#

next dlc: ||you play as dionysus because hes the same as zagreus||
@mellow pumice OMG that WHOLE thing that he talks to Orpheus I was DYING at the mythology jokes

mellow pumice
#

i ADORE herms' dialogue about activating/deactivating the Timer Display

opaque nexus
#

I want a speedrunners only romance with Hermes
@pseudo onyx There is a hades racing event called Hermes cup

mellow pumice
#

@pseudo onyx i was shocked to find out that all those things were actual myths

pseudo onyx
#

i ADORE herms' dialogue about activating/deactivating the Timer Display
@mellow pumice ok i gotta do this now ive just always had it out

#

@pseudo onyx i was shocked to find out that all those things were actual myths
@mellow pumice Yeah and it's from the "Orphetic tradition" or something right? But doesn't really name Zagreus elsewhere for the most part?

pure barn
#

:0

austere jacinth
#

While Hermes has Charon, Hermes running a godly speed dating event would amuse the heck out of me.

pseudo onyx
#

LOL I feel like this would be a great opportunity to have like a panel with the VAs and run a silly podcast-esque thing of that

mellow pumice
#

hahah

pseudo onyx
#

Alrighty Im gonna max out Nemesis and see if I can get it to work in my favor

opaque nexus
#

I think Dusaโ€™s VA is a part of Hermes cup, a commentator or something? I dunno

pseudo onyx
#

Speaks fast enough for it lol

mellow pumice
#

i looked at the voice actor page lately

#

sadly i forgot nearly all of it :|

#

i couldve sworn i heard somewhere that the Storyteller was also voiced by darren korb though. that was wrong.

pseudo onyx
#

OK--Is there any decent weapons that actuall go well with anything Demeter has to offer

mellow pumice
#

fists are ok

pseudo onyx
#

because I sort of low key can't get most of it to work except like 2 of her duos

mellow pumice
#

or you just do a cast run

opaque nexus
#

Oh her boons

mellow pumice
#

ice wine dusa

opaque nexus
#

Snow burst is good support for cast builds

mellow pumice
#

ice wine >>>

pseudo onyx
#

I never really seem to run a cast build

#

I feel like it never lines up

#

except the one time I had the 'lasers fire at you' one

opaque nexus
#

If you get Arctic blast and like a Chiron special you can stack chill fast

#

Her attack and specials have a decent damage multiplier

#

Rare crop is a meme but can actually be really powerful

pseudo onyx
#

Oh yeah epic rare crop after getting dealt some boons you want but have low rarity is a delight

mellow pumice
#

Fully Loaded + Grasp + Flurry Cast

opaque nexus
#

Ravenous will damage actually applies when all your casts are loaded onto hera / ||beowulf||

mellow pumice
#

i dont think it does

opaque nexus
#

Pretty sure it does

mellow pumice
#

i tried it with B once

#

they have to be lying around somewhere

opaque nexus
#

Demeterโ€™s call is pretty bad

pseudo onyx
#

Fully Loaded + Grasp + Flurry Cast
@mellow pumice OK it makes me feel dumb that I can't think of what these all are from, mostly b/c I dont do cast builds obv haha

mellow pumice
#

it DOES work if you pick up Crush Shot with bw though

pseudo onyx
#

Demeterโ€™s call is pretty bad
@opaque nexus I kind of like it in Elysium because the range is so large, but I take it if it's epic and hope for a swap lol

mellow pumice
#

@pseudo onyx admittedly fully loaded is artemis' Legendary, Grasp is from Chaos and gives you +1 stone, and Flurry Cast is from Hermes (hold to cast all)

#

im still waiting for the day that crush shot is removed from ||beowulf|| boon pool

opaque nexus
#

Fully loaded used to be way better

pseudo onyx
#

OH. Yeah, OK. Makes sense. So yeah, and then the "reduce timer" before unsticking and probably dio cast with ice wine and if you can get maybe zeus up in there to also duo and zap and freeze? (they overlap yea?)

opaque nexus
#

Back when mirage shot was just a normal Artemis boon and quick reload didnโ€™t belong to Hermes

mellow pumice
#

mirage shot is a duo, right?

#

forgot with whom

opaque nexus
#

Because of those changes now only one prerequisite for the legendary is actually related to casts

#

Poseidon Artemis

#

It used to be dual shot, which belonged to Artemis

mellow pumice
#

poseidon ahh

opaque nexus
#

Fully loaded also used to give 3 extra casts instead of 2

mellow pumice
opaque nexus
#

So it was kind of insane

pseudo onyx
#

What would you still suggest as the actual cast for a cast build?

opaque nexus
#

You get quick reload and dual shot super easily

#

Depends

pseudo onyx
#

I mean, I hate demeter's and Aphro's casts

opaque nexus
#

I hate ares cast

pseudo onyx
#

Oh that too

opaque nexus
#

Zeus cast is really fun

pseudo onyx
#

even with the sucking in/following it still sort of is a pain to aim and work

mellow pumice
#

hunting blades mirage shot dusa

opaque nexus
#

I do recommend getting some more damage sources

#

If you plan on using Zeus cast

#

Like a call or something, exit wounds with poseidon sword

quiet gull
#

I tried an Ares cast build and didnt get Hunting Blades. Turns out you really need Hunting Blades dusa

pseudo onyx
#

^^^^

opaque nexus
#

Yeeeah

#

Flood shot is actually really good

pseudo onyx
#

It feels VERY bad, I actually greatly dislike Ares because half of his stuff relies on you heavily investing in him and then duos

opaque nexus
#

It has 2 duos like crystal beam, except both completely change it

pseudo onyx
#

Flood shot seems good, Trippy shot seems good?

opaque nexus
#

And the base cast is also good

pseudo onyx
#

if you can get ice wine or zeus's zappy

opaque nexus
#

Huge aoe on impact

#

And you can get sea storm for additional damage

pseudo onyx
#

I love trippy shot + gun's fire 3 specials quickly xD

#

All the Aoe

opaque nexus
#

Also a head start to mirage shot

#

Since poseidon cast is a prerequisite

mellow pumice
#

just killed Soul Catcher in about 7 seconds

#

2 whole eyes were able to spawn

opaque nexus
#

I have not played around with curse of drowning or blizzard shot much admittedly

mellow pumice
#

theres a lot of boons that you get once for a prophecy and then never again

opaque nexus
#

Crush shot used to be way better

mellow pumice
#

just forget abt their existence

#

Crush Shot synergizes with ||Beowulf|| really well

opaque nexus
#

Passion flare is really good

#

Yeah

#

True shot is nice if you have a way to deal with crowds

mellow pumice
#

No no not passion flare

#

you can actually get crush shot

#

it has the same effect but the bloodstone doesnt drop dusa

opaque nexus
#

Wut

mellow pumice
#

effectively limiting your casts per room to 3

#

its op

opaque nexus
#

I donโ€™t get what tou are saying

mellow pumice
#

im joking about a bug in the game

opaque nexus
#

Oh

mellow pumice
#

Crush Shot accidentally still is in the boon pool

#

When you have ||beo||

opaque nexus
#

Only crush shot?

mellow pumice
#

And picking it up, not realizing its not passion flare, really doesnt do you good

#

As far as i know yea

#

Most others are entirely replaced with their Flare, but aphro has both available

opaque nexus
#

That is jank

#

Btw

brisk trail
#

Is that a known bug?

opaque nexus
#

never take ares cast on ||beo||

#

It sucks

pseudo onyx
#

made that mistake yea

opaque nexus
#

Canโ€™t even get hunting blades

pseudo onyx
#

can you get the ares+posideon one? The aoe around you? That might be ok?

opaque nexus
#

I think you can

#

But not sure

pseudo onyx
#

tho that might be the water shot not ares

opaque nexus
#

It is with flood shot

pseudo onyx
#

And that no longer knocks back right?

#

it seems like a downgrade in most respects

opaque nexus
#

I think it still does

#

Idk

pseudo onyx
#

I've used it on dashy builds

#

and seemed to just be OK

shut wolf
#

so i am only missing ||Mati fish from Chaos|| do i have to late catch to get it? in wiki it says its common fish.

pseudo onyx
#

ditto, and yes

#

so dont be too good but dont miss it

mellow pumice
#

i have to take a moment to admire how sgg really tried their best to add so many quality of life improvements

#

like how almost all projectiles deal 0 damage as soon as the last enemy dies

hard pier
#

Golden Touch vs. Deep Pockets?

I've been running golden touch for a long time now

mellow pumice
#

the only exception being traps and chaos-induced inferno bombs i think

#

Golden Touch all the way

#

i hardly even visit charon until styx

opaque nexus

Disagree
