Big big disagree

pseudo onyx
#

deep pockets for the initial gold, I try to always have 300gold to get 2 early boons

#

helps with that

hard pier
#

I personally am gunning for all the blood I can get

gusty slate
#

down to personal preference

opaque nexus
#

Getting boons early is way more impactful than getting them late

mellow pumice
#

i use sisyphus keepsake in tartarus to help with the low amount of boons i get

hard pier
#

I just want to buy the blood

opaque nexus
#

I don’t need resources, so deep pockets is better for me

pseudo onyx
#

Yeah, ummm I really really hate just how low the blood and gems rewards are in rooms

opaque nexus
#

I usually pick a god keepsake to force a god I want

mellow pumice
#

i really like buying the hermes in styx so

pseudo onyx
#

I really wish there was like, a way to upgrade that because it's SO paltry compared to all other sources you can get

mellow pumice
#

My usual run is actually Sisyphus-Spearpoint-Acorn-Blossom

opaque nexus
#

My run is usually God God ??? Acorn

#

Elysium is kind of just whatever

mellow pumice
#

normally i wouldnt go acorn in elysium but ||im still new to em3||

opaque nexus
#

Usually coin purse

pseudo onyx
#

I usally go preferred boon for weapon->sys if struggling for some reason, either blossom if I love what I got or +gold if gold is low, and then blossom for sure

mellow pumice
#

though as of lately ive had Cerb with me in styx quite a while

opaque nexus
#

Blossom is kind of dependent on situation

mellow pumice
#

if i have low hp i go feather duster

hard pier
#

A lot of this is going over my head, but fine

mellow pumice
#

lol

opaque nexus
#

Artemis for examples doesn’t scale well with poms

pseudo onyx
#

Oh, yeah, good point, I do sometimes go skelly if it's em4

mellow pumice
#

||sigil of the dead in styx just for the dialogue||

#

chaos egg in styx for the memes

opaque nexus
#

Hourglass is good actually

pseudo onyx
#

LOL chaos's dialogue around that is so funny

opaque nexus
#

For stacking damage and/or extra casts

mellow pumice
#

It would be quite amusing, Child of Hades

pseudo onyx
#

OH yeah, hourglass in styx is great if you feel underpowered

#

that's what got my very first clear on run 7 or so

opaque nexus
#

It’s great in elysium

pseudo onyx
#

Getting like, 2 wells and a buncha buffs into ||hades|| is great

opaque nexus
#

And if you take it for multiple stages it piles up

proper halo
#

are divine dash and ruthless reflex good together?

opaque nexus
#

I am not a fan of ruthless

mellow pumice
#

does anyone unironically use stubborn defiance?

opaque nexus
#

Yes

mellow pumice
#

How

opaque nexus
#

@high island

#

Explain stubborn defiance

pseudo onyx
#

GAH. The effing chest was next to a doorway i didnt want and it opened the darn door NOO

opaque nexus
#

Basically on high heat it has more of a benefit than downside

pseudo onyx
#

I could have had a shop but now im fighting for a key and lost out on a trove I paid to get xD

mellow pumice
#

how high is high heat anyway? 25?

opaque nexus
#

It also allows you to take 4 levels of lasting consequences

proper halo
#

i still dont understand if divine dash and ruthless reflex are good together or not?

opaque nexus
#

Depends on who you ask

#

For some people it starts at 32 for some it’s 40+

#

But stubborn starts being kinda necessary at like 45

mellow pumice
#

yeah ok i mean

opaque nexus
#

You can also get a DD in addition to your stubborn

mellow pumice
#

i guess that classifies as "anyone" but thats not really casual anymore

opaque nexus
#

If you have used your DD

#

And you get an extra one

#

The next room you will have a DD and an SD

mellow pumice
#

you would never need to go that insanely far for bounties

opaque nexus
#

Some people like it

#

And it’s still good for 32

gusty slate
#

@proper halo it's good, safer than without

opaque nexus
#

Makes mistakes less punishing in long term

proper halo
#

ok thx

gusty slate
#

Ruthless can also work alone

opaque nexus
#

I played for a while before ruthless was even a thing so I can’t get used to it

proper halo
#

i understand they both can work alone

#

i just wanted to know if they synergized well or not

#

cuz they are kinda different

opaque nexus
#

Ruthless has a nice combo with the hidden fist aspect since it gives additional dashes

mellow pumice
#

i dont even remember what ruthless reflex does

gusty slate
#

Ruthless activates before a projectile gets close to you so deflecting it shouldn't affect it... hmmm

opaque nexus
#

I just really highly value being able to double dash strike or dash a second time to get out of lava

#

And greatest reflex isn’t very common

gusty slate
#

Although if you deflect, dashing into a projectile it will indeed be uselessl if I remember right

glass shell
#

is there a way to make ||than|| show up more often or is it just rng

opaque nexus
#

It’s sort of like Stygian soul where if you can compensate for the downside it is probably the better option

#

Rng

glass shell
#

darn it

opaque nexus
#

But I just really like double dash from the start

gusty slate
#

I started the game playing with ruthless until ~heat 14ish

#

ruthless is like a counter I guess, dashing into projectile wouldn't activate it* is what I'm trying to say I guess?

proper halo
#

thats what im trying to figure out

#

im new and idk much about this game at all

gusty slate
#

at least when I use it, I think ruthless activatesif you dash right before an attack/projectile is about to hit you

quiet gull
#

If you're that new, dont worry and just play the game

#

You'll figure things out

proper halo
#

k

rare obsidian
#

Wow hera aspect is fun with dionysus shot

indigo canopy
#

so is ||beowulf||

rare obsidian
#

Maybe next shield run I'll try that aspect

delicate steeple
#

So I have a question for everyone. I'm trying to get a keepsake out of Hades because its powers sound fun. At what point should I be able to give him the second nectar?

pure barn
#

||do you need to be holding vathra the spear for Achilles to give you the apsect or does he just do it after you've met all the requirements||

brisk trail
#

You don't need to have it equipped

quasi olive
#

So if I understand correctly, most people play double dash instead of ruthless reflex?

zealous galleon
#

So I have a question for everyone. I'm trying to get a keepsake out of Hades because its powers sound fun. At what point should I be able to give him the second nectar?
@delicate steeple it's RNG

#

sometimes after a run you can give it, other times you can not

#

from what I understand

pseudo onyx
#

Also, once he and ||Persephone|| converse, if you go to your room and back you can give them both some, sometimes. I sped it up that way actually

#

Seems maybe a bug tho haha

hardy escarp
#

@quasi olive I don't understand the purpose of ruthless reflex at all

quasi olive
#

Also, my partner now has Asterius and Theseus ||do a duo attack where they create a wave similar to Hades' skulls, but I personally never got them to do this attack before, do you know what triggers it? ||

pseudo onyx
#

So, I sort of want 4th aspect of rail to work for me but it just seems... very slow to kill

hardy escarp
#

Wdym "Partner"

pseudo onyx
#

Also, my partner now has Asterius and Theseus ||do a duo attack where they create a wave similar to Hades' skulls, but I personally never got them to do this attack before, do you know what triggers it? ||
@quasi olive I noticed this too! He rushes and hits the shield and does a ||Hades skull|| type shockwave to dodge

#

Im sad that they didn't do this until I think I used EM3 for the first time

#

and then went back without it

quasi olive
#

@quasi olive I don't understand the purpose of ruthless reflex at all
@hardy escarp I just love it as it is free dodge chances and damage, since you always evade attacks, ansmd I personally don't feel the need to use two dashes yet at my level (heat 16 roughly)...

unborn schooner
#

so i have a question

hardy escarp
#

I feel like it's just convenient no matter your heat

unborn schooner
#

does it force you to start over?

quasi olive
#

and then went back without it
@pseudo onyx Actually she just did! I've not gone back to not using EM3 yet, maybe that's why!

pseudo onyx
#

I always dodge WAY too early for ||Hades|| sweep strike and so I really needed the 2 dodges for that, esp EM4, and still I trip up hahaa

unborn schooner
#

after the live update

quasi olive
#

Wdym "Partner"
@hardy escarp what do you mean?

hardy escarp
#

That's what I asked you pal

#

What do you mean "Partner"

quasi olive
#

That's what I asked you pal
@hardy escarp oh sorry I just got the meaning of 'wdym' after I asked the question... ^^
Partner - > girlfriend.
Why do you ask?

hardy escarp
#

I wasn't sure if you meant another person had it happen or once you triggered your companion or something

quasi olive
#

Oh, interesting! ^^

topaz flicker
#

So I just learned that hades speedrunning goes off the in game clock

#

which is interesting because the in-game clock pauses on menus

#

so this 6 minute long speedrun has a 20 minute long video

weary urchin
#

some go off of real time

#

depends on category

high island
#

All weapons speedruns use real time.

#

Also fresh file.

topaz flicker
#

Oh, I didn't see the categories because dark red on black

#

I was supes disappointed that there were only seeded and unseeded categories

pseudo onyx
#

Hmmm i noticed that the bonus nectar i get from troves dont proc the +1 to abilities thing

brisk trail
#

hades dont save, anyone fix that problem?

fast zenith
#

Do anyone else play hades on Switch? it is so fun

#

Doesn't it save automatically?

pseudo onyx
#

lol GDI, i planned for my chaos buff to end right before boss but a fountain showed up and now I cant use special @ boss xD

verbal arch
#

Any word on the cross-save patch? Last I hear it was aiming to come out in October. Also I was wondering if it would also allow saves to go from the Switch to PC? I bought the Switch version first and would love to be able to choose to play my save file on either/or, depending on if I'm at home or out and about.

quaint hatch
verbal arch
#

Ahh thanks! I see it there now. I'm still curious if my 2nd question has ever been addressed in regards to the nature of how the cross-save system would work? I want to double-dip and buy it on Steam but only if the cross-save is not a one way transfer.

quaint hatch
#

Cross save should be vise versa afaik
Dunno if there is any confirmation on that tho

verbal arch
#

That's generally how cross-saves usually work, but this statement has me questioning their implementation of it (taken from their statement after the 1.0 launch):

"We recently announced we're working on cross-saves for Hades, which will let our Early Access players transfer their save data to the Nintendo Switch version of the game."

#

I'm wondering if you know if there's a way I can submit this question to Supergiant themselves? Or a channel here that has more visibility to direct this question for them

quaint hatch
#

Yes but a one way cross save would be a pretty weird solution imi

verbal arch
#

yeah I agree, I'm just being paranoid tbh

quaint hatch
#

They'll announce something concrete when they're far enough

#

No front to you but idk why they should care about your concern specifically when they had a 2 year EA behind them and are still working on patches

austere jacinth
#

They need some time to cool a bit after the past couple of years (this year especially). Can't blame them for that. They'll get to it. They've been pretty open about progress and such generally.

verbal arch
#

I'm not trying to pressure them into rushing anything out or something, just inquiring on how they are planning on making it work which I'm sure they at least know by now

quaint hatch
#

Guess what I just tried to say, in a backhanded way, was: Patience

high island
austere jacinth
#

They might know, they might not. -shrugs- It's speculative at this point.

pseudo onyx
#

omg

#

im just a doofus forgot I reset rank haha

quaint hatch
#

NICE

austere jacinth
#

xD

hard pier
#

Say, did Zagreus actually get accused of murder by someone, or was that just a throwaway line by Hypnos that wasn't actually important

pseudo onyx
#

I turned off god mode after I started doing EM4 and boy howdy do I have the challenge now on heat 14ish lol

quaint hatch
#

That's EM4

#

Which god isn't a murderer?

hard pier
#

Wait, so you did God mode all that way?

pseudo onyx
#

I forgot it was an option tbh

timber hollow
#

omg !

pseudo onyx
#

I'm still doing mostly OK, I am actually doing mostly fine til last boss on EM4, and it's close every time

timber hollow
#

I just bought hades on my PC (in addition to my switch version) and that reminds me that I can just God Mode my way back to where I currently am in the game

quaint hatch
#

Or wait for cross save

hard pier
#

Never toggled it

#

What does it actually do?

pseudo onyx
#

So honestly it wasn't really too much of a benefit if I'm doing about the same but wiping on the last like, 20% of the last boss on extreme

#

40% DR, +2 every time you die with it on

quaint hatch
#

Up to 80% dr

pseudo onyx
#

maybe I'll just save myself some trouble and turn it back on for last boss just to get to 15 heat and do get to do the bonus stuff

hard pier
#

Cheap

#

But you do you

quaint hatch
#

No shame in that

hard pier
#

If anything, it really underlines that you're playing as a god

pseudo onyx
#

I think I'll keep it off at 15, like I said. Seems fair to me so I can do the challenges and stuff in each zone. At that point, I need a lot of the other mats less anyways, so. Makes 15 a really big step up challenge.

#

maybe will take the time to kite last boss on EM4 and re-learn how to dodge with it on haha

hard pier
#

He's annoying so far

#

Even on 0 heat

quaint hatch
#

Who cares
Just have fun at whatever you're doing

#

After a few clears he'll suddenly stop being annoying

#

That's just roguelites

hard pier
#

It's difficult to learn a boss that you spend quite some time to even get to xD

#

And those enemies he spawns are rather tanky too. And those rings. Oh no not the rings.

brisk trail
#

if charons got a hammer does it mean i could get 3?

quaint hatch
#

Nope

#

Two max

brisk trail
#

ight

pseudo onyx
#

does +special add to ||maim||?

#

damage, i mean

hard pier
pseudo onyx
#

if charons got a hammer does it mean i could get 3?
@brisk trail you can get 3 buffs from hammer if you use the anvil

#

In last zone from charon

#

(You lose 1 randomly to get 2)

brisk trail
#

wow wow wow

#

calm down what last zone

pseudo onyx
#

Styx

brisk trail
#

potential spoiler

pseudo onyx
#

I thought zones were fine

#

Other than like. The last last one

brisk trail
#

is it ||hades|| zone or

pseudo onyx
#

Yeah.

quaint hatch
#

Styx isn't a spoiler

brisk trail
#

oh ok

pseudo onyx
#

It's styx, the 4th zone. Charon has a mega shop in the corner, and he will have an anvil there

quaint hatch
#

does +special add to ||maim||?
@pseudo onyx what?

brisk trail
#

didn't notice the anvil

quaint hatch
#

Oh special damage

#

Maim is fixed damage
There are things that raise it

pseudo onyx
#

Does the +special damage bonuses get added to ||maim||

#

I have doom epic, and i could swap with aphro heroic

brisk trail
#

I beat the game for the first time today, but in 25 runs, i have not met Thanatos once

quaint hatch
#

Sry what I'm trying to say is: maim damage is seperate from special damage

pseudo onyx
#

ok. Yeah I know it can crit with DR (I never get those gods tho lol)

quaint hatch
#

Privileged status f.e. raises it

brisk trail
#

this is especially annoying because i need to meet thanatos to fulfill a prophecy and also for the steam achievement

pseudo onyx
#

Oh. Well good thing i turned that back on xD

quaint hatch
#

Pressure points also afaik

#

4th fists is one of the few cases I pop on PS

#

Ruthless reflex should work too

pseudo onyx
#

Trying to math out doom vs +218% special damage on dash upper (I usually dont have the time to do the two hit standard upper)

quaint hatch
#

Obvs you can also take heart rend and clean kill also

#

You know you can double press special and execute a normal upper after a dash upper?

pseudo onyx
#

I find that I often will get hit by the time I land if I do that in later zones

#

Or if they have armor still

quaint hatch
#

If you start it behind them it should be enough time

#

Although you obvs shouldn't put yourself in danger just to get an extra special in

pseudo onyx
#

I often time "tag" armored foes and zip around doing that, blast nearest then with cast, apply status effects w dash attack is usually what I end up doing to keep my tuckus safe and whittle away armored boys from relative safety from afar

mellow haven
#

tbh I never liked any of the fists aspects due to a crippling lack of range

quaint hatch
#

Just dash while holding attack

pseudo onyx
#

I love 4th aspect. Absolutely fun, especially dash builds, they get so silly

quaint hatch
#

Also long knuckle might help you there

mellow haven
#

I just run zag aspect and plume

quaint hatch
#

Although I wouldn't recommend it with demeter cause long knuckles mess with auto aim a bit

unkempt wind
#

i already unlocked all aspects but the hiddens and achilles still didnt popped up anything new

quaint hatch
#

On controller

unkempt wind
#

cleared like 5 times after done that already

#

what im missing?

mellow haven
#

asterius solo encounter

quaint hatch
mellow haven
#

I think

quaint hatch
#

Tells you how to unlock

pseudo onyx
#

But yeah, 4th aspect mitts, keep epic doom special, or swap to heroic aphro special?

unkempt wind
#

yeah i read that

#

thats why im here xD

pseudo onyx
#

It's early so I dont have many boons

quaint hatch
#

I dunno what your build looks like

pseudo onyx
#

It took me a long ass time to get them to unlock, happens slowly

flat vapor
#

how often are you using the special

quaint hatch
#

If you can get divine dash you could go for ME

pseudo onyx
#

I dunno what your build looks like
@quaint hatch super early, so not much of anything

#

how often are you using the special
@flat vapor fairly often, the dash upper, anyways. Yummy damage buff

flat vapor
#

probably switch then, weak is very nice

#

better scaling, and you already get a doom-like effect anyways

woven cipher
#

What's a good best time for a casual player?

pseudo onyx
#

Yeah, it was just nice that the doom would hit harder due to the buff already after a moment. I find half the time it just ends up breaking the tiny bit of shield left and feels like a waste tbh

woven cipher
#

Is sub 10 really hard?

quaint hatch
#

What's a good best time for a casual player?
@woven cipher there's none for a casual

#

Sub 10 is speedrunner material imo

#

Wrs lie at around the 6-7 minute mark

pseudo onyx
#

I dunno, I think early on, 22~30 min? When I'm trying a little bit, I get around 20. Am trying to get sub 18 someday

woven cipher
#

My best is 14, I'm trying to challenge myself to a good time and I'm done with this game

#

So looks like 10 is too hard..

shrewd void
#

I used the fists

#

and died to the first boss

#

I've never died to the first boss before

green pawn
#

I haven't died to the first boss when the first boss had a better moveset

pseudo onyx
#

Man I just love the fists. It does mean you gotta pay a little bit more attention with bosses tho, esp 4th aspect. +50% damage is a lot esp w/o any weak effects

shrewd void
#

umm

#

I was using base fists

#

I had the kick that replaces your special

#

i had the cold dash

#

and i had zeus attacks

pseudo onyx
#

I think those are honestly a little rough. And the kick tends to get me into bad situations imho lol

shrewd void
#

I also had -48% move speed

quaint hatch
#

The kick is awesome with demeter fists

#

More triggers

shrewd void
#

i took the boon like 5 encounters before the boss

#

but i had a fountain room, a shop, the npc encounter, and then another shop

quaint hatch
#

Yk encounters≠chambers right?

shrewd void
#

ik

#

it has to be enemy fights

#

so i didnt get any encounters before the boss

quaint hatch
#

With fists speed down is brutal

shrewd void
#

so i was moving half as fast

lavish condor
#

Would be nice if they added a mechanic that you can equip 2x keepsakes when at high heat

quaint hatch
#

And then add more heat levels
Which would just shift the difficulty up

lavish condor
#

Sure. But keepsakes are not a huge deal, and would allow us to equip some unused ones, like the god boons with increased rarity

quaint hatch
#

"Keepsakes are not a huge deal"

#

Imo high heats are supposed to be hell since they're a self set challenge

austere jacinth
#

Higher Heat and different Heat options wouldn't be entirely unwelcome... but there are definitely things I'd rather see any resources go to first.

lavish condor
#

That’s why adding another slot would create more possibilities to build a solid strategy w/o affecting difficult too much. 40+ is too much RNG dependent

Imo high heats are supposed to be hell since they're a self set challenge
@quaint hatch

quaint hatch
#

More keepsakes would affect difficulty

pseudo onyx
#

hmmmm. Concentrated knuckle seems not super great with 4th

quaint hatch
#

Not that much imo too yeah

pseudo onyx
#

but rush kick colossus knuckle and concentrated knuckle, none sound great

quaint hatch
#

Colossus was the sturdy hammer right?

pseudo onyx
#

yeah

quaint hatch
#

Guess it's p nice making your attacks non interruptible and take -30% dmg while at it

#

At least compared to the other options imo

flat vapor
#

sturdy always ends up making me take more damage

pseudo onyx
#

I'm trying to figure out, it seems like 40 base damage for rush kick isn't really that much better since i do most dash uppers, and that doesn't do the 2 hits (and already does 40 dmg)

flat vapor
#

cause i just sit there and eat it

quaint hatch
#

Well that's like your problem manbouldy

#

Isn't that the point of sturdy? XD

flat vapor
#

if i get flinched i learn to not be a dummy and move out of enemy attacks

quaint hatch
#

Or I could not be a dummy and use sturdy to my advantage

pseudo onyx
#

Hmmm. I guess the benefit of rush kick is using my normal special and i'd get +10dmg per hit of the two. Otherwise it's the same. And also the fact it is a gap closer, but I had trouble aiming in the past iirc

brisk trail
#

...when does Thanatos show up?

#

i have one win and 25 plays and I. have. not. seen. him. once.

quaint hatch
#

You need to get to 3rd area at least

#

After that it should be rng

brisk trail
#

i won the game

quaint hatch
#

Yeah I was going to say

austere jacinth
#

He should be able to appear for you, but as vol1di said, there's rng.

quaint hatch
#

🇷 🇦 🇳 🇩 🇴 🇲

brisk trail
#

my first patroclus was today as well!! character rng hates me

austere jacinth
#

Patrochilles kill me T.T

pseudo onyx
#

...when does Thanatos show up?
@brisk trail Are you on Switch? because the 2nd most recent update, if it hasn't come out, is glitched sometimes

brisk trail
#

next time i bump into patroclus i need to hand him nectar

#

no i play PC

pseudo onyx
#

OK, then yea random

#

I highly suggest using your first nectars for the randomly showing up NPCs in zone 1-3

#

makes life a bit easier later

brisk trail
#

I've already spent plenty of nectar

austere jacinth
#

Thought you could get away from me...

brisk trail
#

I've played this game quite a bit y'know xd

quaint hatch
#

Eh

pseudo onyx
#

I just saw you hadn't seen Than yet, so, just assumed you haven't gotten too much nectar yet 😛 lol

brisk trail
#

i haven't seen than yet despite having won a run which confuses me greatly

#

this also sucks because of the "meet all the characters" quest

#

...guess who's the only one i need

quaint hatch
#

Yeah well um

#

Guess the fates dislike you

austere jacinth
#

There was a scene I neeeeeeded to trigger and I only got it today. After almost 200 hours. RNG can be that way.

pseudo onyx
#

I didnt see Than til like, after run 12 or so (but the first run I beat was 7 so it threw off a ton of events lol)

quaint hatch
#

Yeah getting stuff done too fast scuffs a lot of stuff

pseudo onyx
#

Unhealthy Fixation is just great. I love it vs bosses it interrupts everything when it procs

pseudo onyx
#

The healing for EM4, is there a way to deal with it...? I thought it was "break everything" but seems to end up ||healing a whole lot if I try to break stuff||, cost me a run

#

tho ive died so rarely up til now it's fun hearing some different dialogue!

gusty slate
#

I thought it was break everything, in that moment don't some glow?

#

I mean, I personally just let 'em heal because I'm bad lel

oak shore
#

Yeah, I've finished like 100ish runs and I only just got the Hades dialogue for ||EM1 where Zag is like "All three sisters fought me that time! :0|| as if he hadn't been doing that for the last like 60 runs ^^

shut wolf
#

if you sell a boon do you lost your family fav buff from that god?

gusty slate
#

If you have no other boons from that God, that's what I thought

#

unless a bug popped up didn't think so

tame niche
#

Sorry, just deleted it. I totally forgot I had a chaos boon until it changed in the next room

#

Thanks though!

gusty slate
#

Oh no coin given chaos boon forgot that affected safe rooms too

#

learned that the other day xD

woven cipher
#

do we have a speedrun discord/channel?

flat vapor
#

yes, one sec

#

discord invite found here

woven cipher
#

thank you friend ❤️

flat vapor
#

👍

slender skiff
#

After finishing a run with ||Forced Overtime 2|| I was feeling pretty confident.

#

So I tried a run with ||Routine Inspection 4|| and died to the first boss.

#

I probably could have won if not for ||Tisiphone||

any recommendations on how to use them effectively?

lunar cypress
#

Shield gets a lot of value from poseidon for attack and stuff that has flat damage on bounce

#

% damage increases on attack, statuses and flat damage boons for special, ideally

#

Spear is very versatile and can do either

#

Spin attack's really fun with deflect for example

toxic hull
#

i just see their damage fall really short in some cases

#

oh yea, i did a spear run just now and i got to elysium, modded tf outta the spin

#

I just gave up on the shield tho, I'm not getting anywhere with that one recently

lunar cypress
#

The base attack is high enough you can go for % bonuses but also quick enough you can go for stuff like zeus

#

Special is a little trickier, it has innate backstab on the pull back (assuming they're facing you of course) which works well with Athena tho

quiet gull
#

Sounds like you're not using the shield bash often enough, you can get good chunks of damage with that

toxic hull
#

you mean the charge or throw?

lunar cypress
#

Shield just...slamming stuff into walls

quiet gull
#

The charge

lunar cypress
#

The charge

quiet gull
#

Also yeah, abusing wall slams

toxic hull
#

i try to use it, but i get hit often while charging it

lunar cypress
#

It blocks while charging

quiet gull
#

How? you're blocking the whole time

lunar cypress
#

In the direction you face

#

AFAIK nothing penetrates it either

quiet gull
#

....did you not know you can block with the shield?

toxic hull
#

what doe AFAIK stand for?

lunar cypress
#

As far as I know

quiet gull
#

as far as I know

toxic hull
#

ooooooooh

lunar cypress
#

To be fair, I didnt realize you could block with it either for a bit, it's not spelled out as obviously as I'd like :p

toxic hull
#

I'm only 20 hours in, so im still pretty new

oak shore
#

If you practice a bit with the shield you can spin as you charge to block attacks from every direction until you're ready to rush

#

spin as in look around

toxic hull
#

oh, that's useful

lunar cypress
#

Yeah you're not locked in to the direction you face when you started to charge

#

So just block stuff as you do, then aim and fling yourself

quiet gull
#

It works against ALL attacks

oak shore
#

I'm not sure how far in you are, but it can be very useful if you don't have any other abilities that can deflect

lunar cypress
#

Also the charge speed increase/power shot hammers are great

quiet gull
#

Especially useful for lasers

#

If you know what I mean

lunar cypress
#

WHILE you charge you keep blocking in that direction too I believe

toxic hull
#

lasers? like 2nd hades phase/ doomstone thing?

quiet gull
#

Yes

toxic hull
#

ight

quiet gull
#

ALL attacks

toxic hull
#

alrighty

#

what about fists?

#

I remeber getting something taht made me "sturdy" or something like this while attacking

lunar cypress
#

Fists are great for zeus/dio etc. for attack and then stuff like aphro /art etc. on special

#

Poseidon is fun on fist special, they go flying

oak shore
#

Sturdy isn't a total block, but it reduces damage

lunar cypress
#

And since wall slam etc. damage is based on their speed at the time

tulip cobalt
#

Fists have been my favorite weapon so far. They're so much fun. Just don't run into attacks with them like I do.

deep falcon
#

on the topic of fists, is it normal for it to regular attack after the dash attack animation finishes sometimes?

lunar cypress
#

Sturdy prevents you from being interuppted via damage though

toxic hull
#

yea

lunar cypress
#

And 30% less damage taken, s'nice

oak shore
#

Along with deflect it's a good ability to get when you're still learning movement/attack patterns

toxic hull
#

One of my favorite boons is the one that makes you faster and sturdy after a dash

lunar cypress
#

I mean fists just have a really fast combo so if you don't just tap the button you'll probly keep punching after you dash attack Sai

tulip cobalt
#

That's the Hermes boon, right?

toxic hull
#

ye

oak shore
#

I mean, it's always a good ability to get, but once you get better at just dodging damage other stuff becomes more of a priority, is I guess my point

lunar cypress
#

Also you can basically dash at the end of the fist attack string to start up the next one with no downtime

tulip cobalt
#

I've always liked the extra dash boon.

toxic hull
#

oh, my playstyle at this point is just spamming dodge, not timing

deep falcon
#

i've just unlocked them and im dash attacking in an empty chamber just to test and sometimes it does it even if i just tap, almost as if my mouse is double clicking @lunar cypress

#

imma give it some more testing

quiet gull
#

Fists have this thing where you can hold down the attack button and just spam dash to get dash-attacks

deep falcon
#

could be that i was doing it too fast like u mentioned and ended up weaving a regular attack inbetween dash charges

lunar cypress
#

Hrmn, maybe your mouse sticks down a little or something then, I can't say I've had that happen to me

#

Or it has some input buffering setting

oak shore
#

the other thing is I think the inputs buffer

#

and dash takes priority over attack, I think?

lunar cypress
#

Generally weaving in the dash attacks and stuff is a good thing at least :p

#

Dashes take priority over most everything else I think yeah

#

Call might be the only override

oak shore
#

I'm a very button-spammy player and dashes always seem to prioritise immediately after the animation I'm doing

toxic hull
#

what are the best gods/boons/hammer upgrades for stygius?

oak shore
#

I think ||summoning|| takes priority over dashing too, but that's v similar to calls tbh

lunar cypress
#

Stygius is also very versatile, can kinda go either % or flat damage. Zeus is real fun on it for example

deep falcon
#

mmmm i think thats whats happening yea

lunar cypress
#

Special obviously is better for % based stuff, or things like doom/weak

deep falcon
#

also ive just noticed im not as fast and coordinated as i'd anticipated haha sometimes i just attack before dashing

toxic hull
#

what kind of hammer upgrades are the best? i try to experiment around, but I end up going with the ones i'm comfortable with

tulip cobalt
#

Cursed Blade exists with Stygius. It can be good, though leaves you very vulnerable to burst damage.

lunar cypress
#

Cursed blade is nice but yeah it's real risky

toxic hull
#

that's teh health one?

#

on attack

lunar cypress
#

Health on attack but 60% less max

tulip cobalt
#

Yeah. Heals 2 health each hit but you lose 60% max health.

toxic hull
#

I tried that a few gos ago, I got to elyisium but died to theseus and the minotaur

lunar cypress
#

You become fragile but sustain. BUT if you build some defensive stuff to use during bursts

#

It can be really strong

tulip cobalt
#

Important to note, the healing only occurs on normal attacks, not dash attacks or specials.

lunar cypress
#

Right, yeah you NEED to attack with that on. Wait , it doesn't count dash attacks?

#

That sucks

oak shore
#

Cursed blade is great with Hermes attack speed buff

tulip cobalt
#

It is amazing with attack speed.

lunar cypress
#

Dash attacks kinda annoy me with how a lot of stuff doesn't transfer over to them from normals/vice versa

tulip cobalt
#

Had a good run with it, until I took 80 damage at once and died.

oak shore
#

But that's not something you can build toward meaningfully so it's kinda a gamble

lunar cypress
#

Like Hermes attack speed doesn't seem to

toxic hull
#

oh yea, that reminds me, trinkets/keepsakes. For now, i only run the murmidon bracer for teh damage reduciton, but should I start using the god specific ones?

lunar cypress
#

God specific ones are great to start a run with

#

Guarantees a god you want for a build

tulip cobalt
#

The Chaos trinket seems really good.

lunar cypress
#

It is

#

So using 2 different god trinkets on levels 1 and 2 for example

#

You basically set up your 2 main/planned gods for the run

#

And from there swap to w/e

oak shore
#

It's great for that yeah

#

I used to use Ares and Athena keepsakes a bunch in my early runs

tulip cobalt
#

The Trinket you get from Nyx is pretty good as well, extra damage from backstabs and first hits.

lunar cypress
#

So if there's one or two gods you REALLY want with a weapon type

#

They're your go-to

tulip cobalt
#

Artemis. Always Artemis.

lunar cypress
#

Athena/pos/dio are great to start with due to their support/defensive/% buff boons

oak shore
#

Artemis can be amazing yeah

lunar cypress
#

Aphro as well, and Art is great if you build around her

#

But for main damage dealing it'd vary per weapon

tulip cobalt
#

Aphrodite has some amazing boons. They seem mostly defensive at first, but she has some good damage boosts as well.

lunar cypress
#

Aphro is pretty safe because she has the highest base % in the game

#

Plus weak as a bonus

#

So she combines well with gods that have additional multipliers or effects

tulip cobalt
#

She has a boon that increases damage dealt to enemies inflicted with Weak. Nice additional percentile boost.

toxic hull
#

is teh festive fog cast any good? I just found out about the damage reduciton boon while standing in the fog

lunar cypress
#

Festive fog can be REALLY good

tulip cobalt
#

Festive Fog seems good.

lunar cypress
#

Especially with Zeus duo

gusty slate
#

base festive fog is nice damage

toxic hull
#

I try to take it every chance i can

lunar cypress
#

It's also just..good damage and its AoE

#

Plus ministuns

oak shore
#

Festive Fog is good if you can get into the timing of lobbing

lunar cypress
#

It's a very good support cast sort of thing, if you just want to fire and forget and still have it help

tulip cobalt
#

A good way to practice the timing is to use the Adamant Rail. It's special is very similar.

quiet gull
#

Trippy shot is amazing, huge damage

#

And if you get Ice Wine, baby, now you're cooking with gas

lunar cypress
#

I once got Ice wine and Zeus' duo with it

#

And it was just...beautiful

quiet gull
#

Everything just melts

warm wind
#

Out of curiousity, does anyone know how long the script for this game is? Like approximate (word count, voice lines)? The game is incredibly well done in the voice work area so I was wondering how long the script of the final product really is. (Just realized this is way off topic lol)

oak shore
#

V won't have access to Ice Wine yet, since they haven't ||beat the final boss yet||

quiet gull
#

Ah, right

toxic hull
#

Is hades the final boss?

lunar cypress
#

I am VERY surprised that there's no upgrade to have trippy shot cause hangover tho

toxic hull
#

Cuz i beat hades a few times now

quiet gull
#

I am VERY surprised that there's no upgrade to have trippy shot cause hangover tho
@lunar cypress It'd be too good

oak shore
#

Oh, nvm

quiet gull
#

I think it's fine that Dio's kit has things that explicitly arent hangover

lunar cypress
#

Not on base but, I figured a dio upgrade would do that or something y'know? Just makes sense

oak shore
#

I must have misread something you said earlier, soz

lunar cypress
#

That's true but also hangover is just..wonky

#

I don't really like how it works

quiet gull
#

You dont really want more than one source of hangover

oak shore
#

I feel like if you implemented it similarly to Peer Pressure it'd be fine

tulip cobalt
#

I'm not a huge fan of Hangover. I'd rather have my damage all at once.

quiet gull
#

Though Dio's Aid is always good

lunar cypress
#

How it fights with itself, how many sources of it are just very weak

#

Dio aid is good if you have no other hangover yeah, which again is annoying cuz then you have a good who has other boons that're basically poison to your own build

quiet gull
#

Also, Hangover scales linearly with Poms, so you can just get one hangover boon and boost it to level 30 and it'll deal 38 damage per tick

maiden urchin
#

winter vortex is my favorite call tbh

lunar cypress
#

Now if hangover had INDIVIDUAL stacks for each possible source

oak shore
#

Just casually boost it to level 30 yeah

lunar cypress
#

Limited to 5 max each or something still of course

tulip cobalt
#

Stacking poison would be nice.

lunar cypress
#

Then it'd be fine

quiet gull
#

I was just informed that Hangover sources can overwrite each other, so Dio Aid is fine with other hangover sources

oak shore
#

Individual stacks would be wild

quiet gull
#

Once you hit max stacks, new instances of hangover overwrite old ones

lunar cypress
#

They overwrite but it's based on which was applied last, not strongest

#

Right

#

So you can take off the stronger stacks with weaker ones

#

Another reason hangover dash is awful

quiet gull
#

It's awful for a lot of reasons, but yeah

tulip cobalt
#

Just get deflect dash.

lunar cypress
#

I love DoT builds and stuff but I can't bring myself to use it with so many like, stipulations and "rules" of how it works. Stack limit, overwriting, etc.

oak shore
#

I feel like the way to resolve that is by having the stacks separated by damage value in code, but only pull the top 5 extant ones when actually calculating damage

#

But I can see how that could become a nightmare if you have like 6 sources of hangover damage

tulip cobalt
#

Is there a single hit damage cap? Or is Hangover just restricted for no reason?

quiet gull
#

Hangover is not restricted by anything except stack size

#

The actual damage is not capped

lunar cypress
#

It has no damage cap, just stack size and overwriting

oak shore
#

Actually no I guess you wouldn't need dynamic stacks while fighting, you'd just need as many as the maximum possible sources of damage on a build, with the first entry being the damage value?

tulip cobalt
#

I have a question about percentage boosts? Do they multiply off eachother, or just the base damage. Example, if I had 100 power and 2 50% boosts, would it be 200 or 225 damage?

oak shore
#

Sorry I'm thinking out loud here

maiden urchin
#

it depends on the specific boost

#

some are additive and some aren’t

lunar cypress
#

I believe most are additive

quiet gull
#

All boosts are additive, save crit multipliers

lunar cypress
#

It used to be multiplicative but it got...crazy

tulip cobalt
#

Ok, so stacking a ton of percentage based damage boosts won't have it scale out of control?

quiet gull
#

Also, except damage reduction and dodge

maiden urchin
#

aspect of eris is multiplicative

quiet gull
#

Eris is super special

wind nest
#

That’s why Eris is the best aspect in the game

lunar cypress
#

I mean it'll still help your damage but you won't be doing like, double of double of double generally

tulip cobalt
#

Makes sense.

maiden urchin
#

also some things that modify base damage are multiplicative

#

certain hammers

oak shore
#

I come from the Isaac world of insane damage output being fine as long as it's rare, so I was initially a little disappointed in how constrained the scaling is in Hades, but it makes a lot of sense for this game vs Isaac

tulip cobalt
#

Yeah, Isaac runs can get a little ridiculous.

#

Like, one shotting the final boss ridiculous.

oak shore
#

In Isaac runs you can build toward getting every single item in the game, so like I understand wanting to avoid that ^^;

lunar cypress
#

(I would like if it specified additive/multiplicative though in description)

#

Maybe a toggle option to show more details

tulip cobalt
#

That would be nice. 10% looks worse than 15% extra damage, but if the 10% were multiplicative it would be better.

oak shore
#

They tried combatting it with bosses that have scaling health to cope with your damage output but IME that just ended up being frustrating

tulip cobalt
#

It did. Nothing is fun about Delirium.

lunar cypress
#

BoI is not...balanced well

tulip cobalt
#

That's part of the charm though.

lunar cypress
#

Or designed well, as a personal opinion

oak shore
#

I was one of the first people to fight Hush when it came out and it was a SLOG

tulip cobalt
#

Isaac was designed well up until Afterbirth. Then they started making some...questionable decisions.

oak shore
#

I had no idea whether I was doing something wrong

lunar cypress
#

A lot of it was specifically anti-player because Mcmillen started getting annoyed people were playing the game "wrong"

#

In his view

tulip cobalt
#

Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ are still fun, but they definitely have their share of problems.

oak shore
#

I have good hope for Repentance, having played a decent amount of Antibirth

tulip cobalt
#

Antibirth was amazing.

#

Just wish it released at a different time, a lot of people didn't get to play it as it released around the same time as Afterbirth.

#

is there fishing in asphodel?

#

I have never found a fishing spot there

glad mist
#

Quite a few

toxic hull
#

I might just not be seeing them then

gusty slate
#

just rng

#

rooms are a bit bigger too so it might be missed

toxic hull
#

that's true

#

i typically don't wander the whole tile set

#

hands down, theseus is the most annoying enemy in this game

alpine fulcrum
#

watch for zagreus commenting on the fishing spot

#

though he doesnt always

gusty slate
#

Zagreus commenting, ding at end of rooms

toxic hull
#

If i don't reel in on the first bite, does the lute stay in the water?

alpine fulcrum
#

two helpful things about theseus for anyone who hasnt noticed - he walks for a while without turning to face you after he throws the spear, and he's totally open while he's doing his god call thing

gusty slate
#

Need to watch out for light/sound indicator

#

<0.34 seconds or something for perfect catch. There is only a maximum of 3 fake bobs, so if 3 fake bobs pop up the 4th bob must be a bite. When a fish bites, a light indicator pops up over the bob.. a splash sound too?

alpine fulcrum
#

one thing ive been wondering, if you see a god at charon that you havent run into yet, does that mean its "locked in" as one of the gods for htat run, or will you get the chance to get a different god if you pass it up

gusty slate
#

nope

#

Just had a run where I only had 3 gods, the 4th was changing whole run because I never picked

alpine fulcrum
#

ah cool

#

and same thing with having 3 gods and rerolling a boon reward door for a fourth one i assume (though i wouldnt usually do that)

nimble surge
#

quick question, is it possible to get a duo boon for two gods during or after a trial of the gods between both of them?

#

or should i avoid a trial of the gods between them if i want their duo boon?

tepid plover
#

No, trials don't give duos

#

Well not with the other god

nimble surge
#

i see, but if i encounter either one again later, i can still get the duo boon? or am i locked out for the rest of the run?

tepid plover
#

Of course

#

Is just in the trial

nimble surge
#

ok thanks!

alpine fulcrum
#

i know they kind of explain it but its still weird how tartarus is kinda what you'd expect asphodel to be and visa versa

HOLY GOD

It feels like flinging around butter

quaint wind
#

zag nyoomin

brisk trail
#

noice

#

also, i want to thank the developers for following regional pricing 😄

candid knoll
#

Definitely, the game is so much more fun when I got it for cheaper than everyone else XD

brisk trail

|| I finally got the true ending and Persephone's underworld outfit IS SO PRETTY IM CRYING 🥺😭 ||

brisk trail
#

btw why isn't the discord link on store page of hades?

severe flare
#

|| I finally got the true ending and Persephone's underworld outfit IS SO PRETTY IM CRYING 🥺😭 ||
@winter pike that's the main quest, || there is epilogue, too ||

brisk trail
#

|| I finally got the true ending and Persephone's underworld outfit IS SO PRETTY IM CRYING 🥺😭 ||
@winter pike My only ONLY beef(s) with ||her outfit are that I'm no longer sure if she has pockets, and with her hair up you lose the braid and the anime hair is less apparent.||

#

I miss the || garden ||

@brisk trail yeah true

@severe flare same

I feel like Zag is quarantined at home because of Covid-19.😄

#

He can || no longer go outside ||

scarlet elbow
#

Does that make Zag one of the douchebags who got out and party anyways then? 🤔

azure swift
#

anyone know a good way of getting titan blood

spice flower
#

Do boutnies

#

Bounties

earnest wedge
#

Check the trader back home after every run

#

Sometimes you can trade 15 keys for blood

spice flower
#

So the titles

#

Are they only for

#

A sense of pride and accomplishment?

earnest wedge
#

Aside from that, do bounties and buy them at Styx

wheat kayak
#

Pretty much

earnest wedge
#

Yea that's it

spice flower
#

Its EA all over again

wheat kayak
#

It's a late game resource sink when you no longer have anything else to spend all this currency on

#

And you exclusively run Dark Foresight

spice flower
#

Uh is that the one where darkness=health?

#

If so

#

Yes

wheat kayak
#

No

#

You are thinking of Dark Regeneration

#

Dark Foresight is +20% chance for gold laurel chambers

spice flower
#

Probably

boreal fog
#

Woo got all the achievements finally.

#

Only 2nd game I've ever done that on lol. So much fun

carmine fog
#

i have been sitting here for like three and a half hours trying to get charged volley because it's the last daedalus hammer upgrade i need by farming tartarus with zag aspect bow over and over again and the game hasn't offered it to me a single time

#

and i am very not happy about this >:(

brisk trail
#

Pray 🙏

carmine fog
#

im gonna reboot my game because maybe that'll change the rng seed??

brisk trail
#

Maybe

#

Maybe not, really the only thing that changes seed is dying

#

Giving up keeps the seed

carmine fog
#

hmm

#

i would be substantially less opposed to this grind if i thought zag aspect bow was even remotely enjoyable

#

i only really enjoy charon and rama, but both are incompatible with charged volley

brisk trail
#

Isn't hera compatible too?

carmine fog
#

it is but im trying to grind for some demeter duo boons bc i rarely use cast boons and apparently crystal beam is like. awful with hera

brisk trail
#

shield with 3rd aspect is my favourite weapon

carmine fog
#

mine is deffo gilgamesh fists

brisk trail
#

not only can you just say no to damage, you also have a beyblade

#

especially on dad's skull waves

#

just face towards them and they do no damage

#

shield is you can legit say no to damage

#

just charge up a rush and point towards whatever is about to hit you, you'll block it, it's mad

#

Can we get source engine ragdoll physics on poseidon knockback effects

#

lmao

#

@brisk trail doomstone gets stuck in a door

weak mantle
#

Man I wish Hades didn't exist

#

like the existence of it as a game irritates me to an extent you wouldn't believe

#

Now whenever I play any other roguelite, it just seems so trash in comparison, or most games for that matter.

candid knoll
#

I have a question, is there a feedback form we can fill for the game? Feel free to ping me

maiden urchin
#

noita is another good one

crisp hedge
#

Grr

tulip cobalt
#

I think I’ve said “one more run” for like 4 runs at this point. I can’t put the game down.

weary otter
#

Same

#

playing through it over and over again got me interested if Zagreus was actually the son of hades in mythology

#

and apparently he was, but at the same time he was sort of forgotten

#

I think he was the god of madness?
maybe insanity

#

which makes all this happening in game all the more interesting

fleet zephyr
#

I just got Hermes legendary as the first Hermes boon
Thought you needed a prerequsite boon for those

exotic basalt
#

Hermes is a bit special

weary otter
#

I love him so much

#

He's a fun little man

exotic basalt
#

He fast boi

fleet zephyr
#

Also a note about zagreus ||the irl lore for his in fact referenced in the game, with the prank Dionysus and Zag pull on Orpheus, causing him to make this fanciful ode about his supposed history||

weary otter
#

I like the Zagreus version where he was the god of nothing and died almost instantly

#

very reflective

hardy cairn
#
