kept trying to get the one for ||lucifer|| without realizing the requirements
do they all need ||5 blood spent on that weapon||
i played a lot and still cant get the sticker from Hypnos.. whats triggering it cant figure it out
RNG dialogue
Need ||To go through some dialogue with Hypnos and Thanatos if I recall||
Im so glad that Hades have a unique quote when Zagreus uses ||Sigil of the Dead against him.|| ^_^
so for ||charon|| things how many times do i need to roll through him before unique rewards?
Man, y'all ever have those runs where you know its gonna be a bad one
"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
yay just got the phrase for ||excalibur||
@alpine fulcrum great weapon, one of my favorites
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')
I just hear โfool!โ
What
I love Charons bow itโs so much fun
Charon has a bow?
Anyways thatโs all I had
I would rather Artemis for that
Fair
Demeter is pretty good actually
Nice damage buff and stacks chill well
If you get arctic blast you can do good stuff with it
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. ||
I wish they kept feedback open
Yeah seems like a big reveal super early on. ||Kinda invalidates the dream sequence.||
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||
||oooooh its a flashback||
so for ||charon|| things how many times do i need to roll through him before unique rewards?
@vestal plank uh?
I don't think you can get anything out of him other than ||loyalty cards||
And ||loyalty cards|| are super strong as is

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?
you romance before youre at max hearts
hm, but i didn't .-. so what now?
yeah
then you already romanced i think
i dont really understand ||but you dont really smash dusa just fyi||
hm, but something is buged i think, cause u know the stickers when u max hearts? i just dont have Dusa and Aphrodite
dm me a pic of your codex with dusa
just keep playing
once you full hearts you should instantly bond tho
i already platined the game :p
just keep playing
@wheat kayak
at least for me ||Dusa's chibi and bond notification doesn't pop up until you and Dusa, erm, clarified their relationship||
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
dm me a pic of your codex with dusa
i can either take the hammer door in tartarus or go visit chaos... what would you do?
what aspect
depends but you won't miss out on a hammer as long as you haven't maxed your 2 hammer quota
oh, it always will?
@tepid plover will send private ok?
yes dm
well i'd be skipping this hammer offering to go visit chaos
well
it will respawn
ok
Borrowed money from ||Charon||, proceeded to get completely annihilated. All in all, fun experience.
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
ok i just wasn't sure lol
including styx
i see, thanks
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
Borrowed money from ||Charon||, proceeded to get completely annihilated. All in all, fun experience.
@tulip cobalt Ahaha yes, I really enjoyed this surprise
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"
Does anyone have the chaos laugh track
Even in Hell Mode with the 25% life regen malus?
laugh track?
Yes
whats that
||Chaos told me to kill hades with his egg||
And then he laughs after that
oh ok
Did anyone record it or how can I find it
Maybe not any more than that ๐
@wise stratus ||4th aspects are spoilers in this channel so please use spoiler tags||
- I was on mobile. 2. I'm not the only one saying it ๐
well you better tell them too ๐
also spoiler tags do work on mobile
|| spoilers go here || for future reference
@earnest remnant ||4th aspects are spoilers here, please use spoiler tags||
also, my pronouns are they/them/theirs ^_^
"I wasnt the only one" isnt an excuse
@wise stratus
if you're going to enforce a rule, you need to make sure everyone follows it
otherwise that is discrimination
๐
I mean I'm not a mod or anything, and it still looks like you want some problem lol
I just don't like people with power thinking they're better than everyone, abusing their position
this is a spoiler free channel, mods can only enforce what they actively notice
They just told you something and you refused
you're not the only one who's be asked to spoiler tag things
They are not abusing anything, It is a spoiler
chill dude
lmao
๐
it's nothing personal, and nor it is an 'abuse of power'
lmao sure
this isn't an acceptable way act. aggy asked you to tag a spoiler. there's no reason to act out like this
What does "a person like you" even means
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.
anyways, onto a different topic
so clearly you didn't read everything very well
Okay you don't have to throw so much sass lmao
this conversation is over everyone, we're moving on
maybe this should be solved in dms ?
what weapons do people enjoy playing the most ^_^
i actually really like bow
Shield.
Fists all the way baby
Beyblade go brrr
hells yeah 
Bow was a weapon I really slept on at first
it's now one of the weapons I enjoy a metric tonne
Chiron's a beast, ngl
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?
yes
@granite ether spear is my baby. It is just perfect haha
i like bow bc i can attack from afar and then dash away as need be
niceu mlerp 
I'm good with every weapon. Although DT hasn't given me bow in a while. ๐ฆ
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
Currently doing a run with secret sword.
spear is a lot of fun too. i love throwing it
Enshrouded eclipse is great when you only get one room option every time ๐
do you have any good builds on bow @quaint wind
@fast zenith i did pretty decently last time with a zeus heavy build, i had high voltage, thunder dash, and lightning call
What would you recommend is the Easiest ||heat to get to Hades with fists||
||extreme measures||
Thank you
I am concerned that if supergiant has any further update schedule. I 've found lots of things can be expanded.
I want some Helios blessings man
Yeah, that would be great
right now the team is taking a break, they may or may not have things later
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 ||
||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||
Funny thing ||skulls are enemies so eye of lamia works on them||
Zeus chain lighting works on the ||bloodskulls|| too, i.e. will chain to them so that's neat
I completed the codec
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 ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
I'll take free hugs ๐
Bro i cant use the bow to save my lifeeee
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.
Sad times
They broke secret spear dash attack ๐ฆ
When hearts are locked what do u have to do to get past that ?
Depends on the character
I've been talking to Achilles a ton and I've had ambrosia on me when I visit him but nothing
Oh hmm
Yeee I've been making sure to talk with him everytime I get the chance
Refer to that guide in #h1-story-discussion , pinned message. If you want to
Or if you wanna figure it yourself, then don't
:O okee thank u!
Yw
You'll also need rng favor heh
Took me ages to get some hearts filled. Sometimes it's just luck
How much more are the developers going to add into the game?
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
Sad but also there's so much content as is imo
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.
It does hint as much in the game
I hope we get more, but I don't expect it
Yee it's only crazy how big Hades is I didn't expect it and I'm still astonished at times
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.
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
They really are. I still think that they should make Artemis a romance option, I don't care what mythology says.
Artemis is kinda gay in this game.
Not sure she'd be interested in Zag, yeh..
Fair.
Purely platonic
I still love her. They really knocked it out of the park with all the character personalities. They're all incredible.
Chaos laughing was really cool
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.
i havent heard it
is chaos laughing like
a "ha. ha. ha. ha." or like
genuine laughter
I only need 50 more red stuff ๐
@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.||
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)
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.
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
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
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.
It seems to do that if youโre next to a tall object or a wall. They bounce off
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 didnโt behave like this before
Makes certain hammer upgrades very frustrating to use, particularly in the small chambers near the surface
Happened a lot to me
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
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
I beat my old winstreak ๐
I honestly donโt feel like Iโve 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
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
Is there any update on cross save with switch?
Check the #announcements
@thorny crescent Skill takes time ๐
Knowing which boons to pick is a skill too
Thanks
Don't let ||Theseus|| get to you, Blackguard!
is switch crosssave a thing yet
#announcements postponed
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?
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
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
Styx 
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
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?
I just had a run with the adamant rail, gotten the cluster bomb upgrade with rocket. Its so fun 5x rockets!
sup guys
I got a qn, why am I stuck on 20 heats for the weapons ? playing on Switch, thanks
stuck?
yeah i cant seem to add more than 20 heats, no bounties for 21 heat onwards
smth like that
That's by design
jus Switch i suppose ?
Switch and PC are about the same game
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
We dont know, odds are super giant is on break, they gave Hades alotta love for alotta years
I see
Cross-saves and some balance/bug fixes
Otherwise, SGG hasn't confirmed or denied further work on Hades
Plus, we don't even know if they'll continue supporting it like most rogue likes do
I did have a lot of fun playing it for a few weeks, got all 20 heats on all weapons lol
fun stuff
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?
there shld be some kinda string leading u to it
if u try proceeding from the gate to the next level, u shld see a string leading u to the reward
if you go to the door, there will be a light that should take you to it
Unless you're bugged...
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 ;-;
Had a fun glitch with bone hydra today
Had it spit out the enemy balls yet the assets didnโt load in
Still had the health bar just wasnโt destroyable till the timer ran out
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
Might be missing assets tbh
I know someone came in telling us how Asterius' model wasn't loading in
but was still attacking them 
Congrats youโve broken rule 2 wise crack
i don't care
Proxy asleep, impressive
Yeah Iโm happy it was something small
How did that get past the bot
Alternate character set magick? 
Bot asleep
4th aspect spear is harder to play yeah, need it maxed out
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

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
Buff was nice, still one of the hardest aspects to use
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
Of course, unless they're all buffed to no tomorrow xD

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
No demo unfortunately
Can only buy and check out for <2 hours on steam and refund
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
I guess?
has anyone else had the same issue?
Hm, so it's deathly quiet everywhere?
yeah accept for grunts of the character
Playing on the Switch but no sound problems.
im playing on steam
im doing it as we speak, should I be hearing music in the non combat zones aswell? because I could test it there
Lemme pull up my game
thanks
main screen should have music
I can hear it than just when playing, I think its a bug right?
House has music too it seems
im booting it up after validiating now
there's minor music in the house yeah
The +Dash-strike bonuses are supposed to apply to the gloves' Dash-Upper, right?
I cant hear it in that case
It takes a bit for the music to startup though in the house
If you start a run you should hear instant Tartarus music
ill give it a tru
but yeah sounds like #h1-tech-support might be able to help
its doing it now seems like the validating worked, thanks
Donโt you hate it when you shut your computer off wrong so you go from meta build to dieing on ||hades||
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)
o damn i didnt know ||hades|| gives you a keepsake
Oh hammer upgrades are very specific
especially on fist, if it says dash-attack, it's dash attack, dash upper for dash upper
Specific or not, if it uses the same language in two different bonuses, that's confusing
if I recall
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)
doesn't hunter dash say "dash-strike"
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 ๐
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)
can you be hit while ||invisible||
No, at elast not with greater
i mean with the keepsake
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)
I didn't think I could be hit
same deal with lesser iirc until you attack
Yeah that's what I thought
im pretty sure ive ||hit hades out of invisibility before|| but im not sure quite how that works
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 
My brain is frying trying to think what you're referencing here lol
||wonder what hte greater call dialogue is there||
I mean, in that fight it's "Yeah I hear you" or something it's made me chuckle
||FATHER!... WHAT!?|| maybe
'Oh shut up.'
HADES will get more Updates or V1.0 is the last one ?
SGG hasn't confirmed or denied big updates. For now just balances and bug fixes... and of course cross-saves
Ok, thanks.
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
Are weapons considered spoilers?
4th aspect names are
No just the basic weapons
Shouldn't be
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
possible to what
do not recommend curse of agony on rail
Yeah but I also have the stacking boon
or Ares/Athena duo
I still don't think it's a good fit for rail
Ah so I'm just unlucky?
huh i thought i saw a prophecy for unlocking every aspect, but now i dont see it
It can work with ricochet
It's not the best setup, but you can win with it
Yeah but with the stacking boon I think it's OP
Ares/Aphro duo might work too tbh
nahhh
atleast in my head it is
zeus attack is better
Sure, but ares can still work xD
on eris anything works
Does come down to player skill too for things to work
anything can work if you dont stand where attacks are
so I just did it in case
I want to mod in a King Bach aspect for the sword
ew
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
A different kinda Talos eh?
I'm not gonna say here why I dont like king bach
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"
they are not sure themselves though
but that's a straight up denial, they are more unsure
I'm not gonna say here why I dont like king bach
@opaque nexus idk king Bach I just know the meme
Theres some dude djing in a van for some livestream right next to me
And a big spoon sword is cool
I have 8 ares boons and yet no curse of agony 
I just want to see my idea in action
isn't that Ares special
curse of agony is attack I believe?
Yeah it is
I've done it before, it works... just a little awkward xD
And I want to combine it with Adamant Rail and the stacking boon
If you're going for a specific build, keepsake + rerolls is what you want
I kinda dedicated the entire run to getting it and didn't get it in the end ๐ฆ
Did you take something else on attack?
wait did you get a different attack boon
Cause that will reduce the chance of getting what you want
before you get Ares attack
gods rarely prompts for boon exchange that you might as well never count on it
I did, but sold it when I started going for it
Does that reduce chance when sold or no?
No, but with these kinds of things, the earlier you go for it the better your chances are
Rip
down to rng, I've had buncha boon swaps before
So now you need the attack, plus the stacking boon, so two boons minimum
Hope you have five rerolls banked up
Coronacht: Aspect of Bart
"You have the Springfieldian Sling and can place traps to prank enemies"
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 
There is a chance, rather low though
Hm?
How is there still a chance if I'm in the last area? @gusty slate
read more 1st next time
Hahaha
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
||i did the fight with charon||
But that's not the case so I cry
There's always next time
@heady gulch Congrats! that's really hard
I was wondering, does aegis + the deflection on attack boon work with the aegis charge up?
idk...
Can you just like hold the shield and reflect stuff? Or does it work differently?
Ah
ah would've been cool
As that's not 'attack' I assume
asterius is a giga chad
"short one"
Asterius do be a big cutie
and if you beat him, he says you did a good job
he is a mega chad
theseus on the other hand
Theseus is also a big cutie
Hellspawn flattery...won't get to...me...
Theseus is a rat
Come on!
I can't be the only one who finds his overly self confident personality kind of adorable right?
Also true
Quick question: can Chaos' boons stack with gods' boons for the same attack, say, your Y for example?
I think chaos boons are mostly +damage % so I would imagine that they add to boons
Like if I have one god's attack boon and chaos buffs attack? yeah it stacks
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...
nah just rng
Rngzus not with me apparently...
Like if I have one god's attack boon and chaos buffs attack? yeah it stacks
@gusty slate Additively or multiplicatively? haha
I thought all damage was additive
yeah it is
wasn't sure, I assume so otherwise we'd see crazy numbers
otherwise it would be way too messy to calculate
Hammers are the interesting ones in which they affect base damage
I wish we could see in game what the base damage was-->to is without looking at the wiki
yes or things like aphrodites boon that makes weak enemies more susceptible to damage
They do it for cast- I dunno why they dont for that but shrug
most damage is additive
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
stat card would be nice
crit is multiplicative (3x damage), and some hammers (specifically "charged" special hammers) say +% base damage, meaning multiplicative
maybe an option that changes percentage >< numbers
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
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
Wait, what do you mean it is? On the +Special or something?
My lizard brain just sees numbers, hit more times if not dead
OH you mean the inherent bonus
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
Yeah, and I imagine that the extra 25% you can get from hammer makes it +50% multiplicative then
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
Now do that to legendary sword
legendary in what sense?
4th aspect*
oh wait, do foes take more damage in the ||aura||?
i mean, its thrust does 200
Still want to get that 8k someone did
i had 324 base damage on hestia once
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
no multiplicative is always way better
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
1.5x5 vs .5x5?
let's start with 1
Hm. I'm too lizard brain for this I ma stay out xD
are you sure maim is multiplicative? just seems like additive to me
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
wait, just read the wording on it
i am going to sketch it now
yeah my ||gilgamesh|| runs are always the fastest
16.24 is my record
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
plus you get 7 dashes if hermes is nice to you 
I forgot about that, ruthless is decent on it
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

If you're decent at kiting and dodging can be Iguess?
but idk if 4th aspects are beginnerxD
ye
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
Good for him
I guess if you only have 1 clear for each weapon, haven't spent blood, could speedrun 4th spear
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
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
for ||erebus||?
No
no survival rooms
Yep thatโs one
im guessing ||em2||
Forced overtime reduces spawn times
oh wow
Tight deadline is actually bad for in game time
no em then
Yes em
Oh
Em2 fo1
Oh
em? acronyms still hurr durr
no survival rooms
Yep thatโs one
i read these together
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
@pseudo onyx you have heat, right?
Oh really?
yeah
interesting
Yes I jsut can't think of what it stands for
||extreme measures||
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
Just speedrunners
ok i made a graph
im super mad
Hi super mad Iโm cin
I just realized where my brain error went wrong
Just get the image link
hah, i did a run with all green talents for the prophecy, and i was worried like "man this is gonna hurt in a lot of ways"
I was thinking .5 instead of 1.5
||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
Boyo is great
every step downward symbolizes "+0.5" to the left and "x1.5" to the right
as you can see, Right always increases more than to the Left (except for the very first step)
but then...mostly leveled chiron with artemis special and the +special arrows hammer go brrr
im just getting back into the game what are the "themes" in the work orders? im assuming it just changes how the house looks
Changes ui
They customize the end screen
didnt use SD once
changes the overlay
Oh the entire overlay?
makes everything look fancy
i mean
your boon stuff to the left, and your heat/mirror talent bar up top
and the victory screen
I have an almost 100% complete file with like 250 hours
your health bar doesnt change tho
WHOA thats big
honestly im kind of disappointed in the ||Cthonic Theme||
200 keys and it doesnt even show in the boon menu
i bought 5 nectar to give to skelly

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||
Heat for skelly no?
||have you maxed the zag aspect on the sword and killed skelly with it yet? ||
||And used it enough to unlock the codex entry in Fables||
Didn't that guy with the Rock have one too?


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
"The Useless Trinket"
They can be easy to miss
yeah try not to skip his dialogue, at least if its more than one line
Check the ||bottom right of courtyard before you leave for a run||
K, I'll just keep holding off ๐ I just have nearly 13 heat in every weapon done each and just about everything else is done. And he hasn't given me a !, and i talk to him each time I leave
omg
It's SO BRIEFLY sparkling
that's just mean
lol

it's bouldy talking simulator and you get Hades for free with it
it's boyfriend dungeon ripoff ๐
dream daddy but everyone is dead
hahaha omg I've already met the criteria for this you damn bastard. I wish I would have noticed these faint sparkles ages ago @gusty slate thank you hahaha
So I'm glad i asked
You even get to try and fix a relationship
easy to miss
do i pick swift strike on epic or side hustle on epic 
skelly 
||lucifer rail||
dusa 
Boyo talks in riddles sometimes...
chamber 18
swift strike would be SO STRONG
side hustle would get me about 600 coins
nah im getting that fast attack
I like money
Artemis tho
actually i do have deadly strike thanks for asking
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
i despise 4th sword i can NOT handle it right
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
i get hit between my swings every time
@copper pond we already resolved that lol
thanks anyway
oh sorry
I usually dash between each swing to hit from behind
That's why you get a defense boost, duh
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
I mostly only play when it's got the darkness buff
If not 4th, what do y'all prefer instead? I only take it when it has the darkness buff
ayy
I have like 20-something blood I'm hoarding so
nemesis
Poseidon
im bad with spear
which is worse sword or spear
sword, unless on 4th aspect, is good
No weapons are bad
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"
^
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
what heat level is that
maybe because i got good and dont need range anymore
I somehow have had the best times and highest heat with the spanner and it's prolly my least favorite lol
Ranged fails at shield guys
spanner?
was also my 1st clear wep too lol
@alpine fulcrum you mean me? spears on 9, right now im doing 12 on rail
LOL sorry, adamant rail*
my brain did 'adamant spanner' which is an adventure zone reference
DEATH BOAT
Why's everyone got clears in rail? I despise that weapon
@hard pier spear gets around shield guys implicitly by spamming throw ^^
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
No idea what you're talking about, but good for you
since ||EM2 is worth 2 heat and its uh..kind of a joke||
@hard pier use hestia or 4th lole
I'm having enough problems on 0 heat lul
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
Tasty tasty crits
Just jumped from 8 to 16 heat and did it 1st time! Damn, I'm good. And lucky.
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*
I personally don't like Aphrodite, but that's because I dislike her as a goddess in general
Silence, wench. I do not wish to be horny anymore.
think how easy the game would be if you could kill all the other gods besides athena
Yeah would insta win, no ||Hades||
Is this suddenly a GoW alt universe flying? lol
i dont believe ||hades or zagreus|| are really gods

people just tell them they're gods to make them feel better
i like the concept of zag's godly power being ||the ability to summon those who he has strong bonds with||
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"
||being stuck in dead world no matter what just seems so un-godly||
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.||
@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||
Artemis romance when
i mean, Sisyphus says "You gods are capable of anything" when asked how ||shady|| works
Artemis is your gay cousin, Pidge.
artemis romance when
Never, and I'm pretty sure SGG went on record with that one xDD
I want a speedrunners only romance with Hermes
next dlc: ||you play as dionysus because hes the same as zagreus||
lol
to romance hermes you have to get a sub 15 time
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
i ADORE herms' dialogue about activating/deactivating the Timer Display
I want a speedrunners only romance with Hermes
@pseudo onyx There is a hades racing event called Hermes cup
@pseudo onyx i was shocked to find out that all those things were actual myths
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?
:0
While Hermes has Charon, Hermes running a godly speed dating event would amuse the heck out of me.
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
hahah
Alrighty Im gonna max out Nemesis and see if I can get it to work in my favor
I think Dusaโs VA is a part of Hermes cup, a commentator or something? I dunno
Speaks fast enough for it lol
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.
OK--Is there any decent weapons that actuall go well with anything Demeter has to offer
fists are ok
because I sort of low key can't get most of it to work except like 2 of her duos
or you just do a cast run
Oh her boons
ice wine 
Snow burst is good support for cast builds
ice wine >>>
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
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
Oh yeah epic rare crop after getting dealt some boons you want but have low rarity is a delight
Fully Loaded + Grasp + Flurry Cast
Ravenous will damage actually applies when all your casts are loaded onto hera / ||beowulf||
i dont think it does
Pretty sure it does
Demeterโs call is pretty bad
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
it DOES work if you pick up Crush Shot with bw though
Demeterโs 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
@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
Fully loaded used to be way better
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?)
Back when mirage shot was just a normal Artemis boon and quick reload didnโt belong to Hermes
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
poseidon ahh
Fully loaded also used to give 3 extra casts instead of 2

So it was kind of insane
What would you still suggest as the actual cast for a cast build?
I mean, I hate demeter's and Aphro's casts
I hate ares cast
Oh that too
Zeus cast is really fun
even with the sucking in/following it still sort of is a pain to aim and work
hunting blades mirage shot 
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
I tried an Ares cast build and didnt get Hunting Blades. Turns out you really need Hunting Blades 
^^^^
It feels VERY bad, I actually greatly dislike Ares because half of his stuff relies on you heavily investing in him and then duos
It has 2 duos like crystal beam, except both completely change it
Flood shot seems good, Trippy shot seems good?
And the base cast is also good
if you can get ice wine or zeus's zappy
I have not played around with curse of drowning or blizzard shot much admittedly
theres a lot of boons that you get once for a prophecy and then never again
Crush shot used to be way better
just forget abt their existence
Crush Shot synergizes with ||Beowulf|| really well
Passion flare is really good
Yeah
True shot is nice if you have a way to deal with crowds
No no not passion flare
you can actually get crush shot
it has the same effect but the bloodstone doesnt drop 
Wut
I donโt get what tou are saying
im joking about a bug in the game
Oh
Only crush shot?
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
Is that a known bug?
made that mistake yea
Canโt even get hunting blades
can you get the ares+posideon one? The aoe around you? That might be ok?
tho that might be the water shot not ares
It is with flood shot
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.
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
Golden Touch vs. Deep Pockets?
I've been running golden touch for a long time now
the only exception being traps and chaos-induced inferno bombs i think
Golden Touch all the way
i hardly even visit charon until styx
Disagree
