defiance?
death defiance
i dont know what those are
2stubborn2die, extra life
im playing it in spanish
ooooooooh
sometime the revive doesnt work for me
but only on bosses
Are you able to see what titan blood is used for now?
yeah
Those are just aspects, each are a different playstyle
Go to courtyard, spend the blood, DO NOT GO INTO BEDROOM. Go on a run to test, then either altf4 before death or Give up to revert save back to courtyard save. No blood spent/committed. That run never existed so you can try things out before saving/committing
If you want to test before committing blood
Hey! Anyone else here died at the same time as Hades, creating a game breaking bug?
go to #h1-tech-support
or tech fixes
by the way
i seen people complaining of how har is the second boss
for me it was a piece of cake
the hard one is the third
Has happened before, #h1-tech-support or #h1-tech-fixes might be able to help yeah.
also if on pc
Nah it was on switch ^^
oof
I was just curious ^^
Yeah, that sucks, you'll get 'em next time π
thsi game is a 10/10 for me 9 points for the music, playability, replayabilty, voices, artwork etc, and 1 point because you can pet the puppy
different parts of the game will be hard for different people, but third boss tends to be a wall for players yeah
being able to pet the puppy = GOTY
Nah it's not enough, there's a whole Twitter account about it x)
wait what?
@canyoupetthedog
oh my god
I even remember Enter the gungeon, there is corgi you couldn't pet. It featured in the thread.
Devs came "hold my beer"
Next thing you know, you could pet the dog
yeah
you know in ghost of thushima the foxes were petted 100k in a week of the release
Oh I didn't know that
I never pet them when praying cause I can't find them in Kurosawa mode x)
I mean, it's my own altar π
Do u we know if they plan on releasing another weapon ?
No and I don't think they ever will even if they release a DLC which is still unknown and somewhat unlikely.
SGG hasn't confirmed or denied anything, we can only hope
Keep buying the game, we'll shower em in money so they'll have to spend it on making dlc.
takes funds to build next game 
Superquality Games
being able to pet the puppy = GOTY
@vocal ridge I lost my mind when in first pet cerb
i cant get further then the minotaur any tips i love the bow but i still have to try the gun
Get behind to damage during the 2 big swipes, then dash under his jump when he turns for the last hit of the combo.
thx
Having some deflect also work as a cheat if you don't know how to avoid his projectiles
pro tip, he doesn't always swing swing jump.
sometimes it's swing x3, or jump x3, or any combination of both attacks in a 3 hit pattern.
but yeah, backstab's the way to go.
third boss has always been harder for me than second boss
i see people leaving already on there 7th run ever then you have me on my 22th run still not further then the midboss of the third thing
I mean, this game is SP
it's fine I took like 41 runs to escape my first time
take it at your own pace
no one's judging
tbf in our friendship group this guy finished on his 3rd run
and everybody hates him
because of it 
should i try the railgun
hey, fwiw, I'm on run 40 and still haven't gotten through the third region
i love the bow
nut the railgun is the only one i didnt use yet
Definitely! Mix up your weapons, and you'll get used to and appreciate all of them
Hey just a brief question: I've already played hundreds of hours on the PC version, I'd like to buy the game on Switch (to play in portable version only).
So is the game readable and with correct FPS on the portable Switch screen ?
Thanks ^-^
what should i use on the gun, artemis, or zeus or?

@cursive crater i play on switch, its really awesome
Can't speak to FPS since it doesn't matter to me a whole lot, but the game is definitely readable!
I play on switch so I would say it's pretty readable
It feels so good on the Switch
what should i use on the gun, artemis, or zeus or?
@manic vessel Arty is great with the special
Even on the little screen ? Good to know guys :)
Zeus is solid for the attack on gun in general
okay got it thank you
but the gun has some awesome hammer upgrades too
maybe the gun will give my my first escape
gun is my highest winrate weapon so far
if i see a hermes boon, is that alwasy a go to except when i need to choose between hermes or hammer?
Definitely a good weapon
Hermes is dope
i'd pick hammer over hermes most of the time
so always hamer and then hermes second?
Look at your build and decide what you need. Hermes and Hammers are limited to 2, and have some leaning priorities about whenit is shown to you
Sometimes you want Hermes more than Hammer
Hammer over hermes but hermes is definitely S tier God for me !
Zeus is solid for the attack on gun in general
@tiny grove I love Zeus on everything tbh
For example, some weapons are completely hammer dependent. Some are not
@tiny grove I love Zeus on everything tbh
@rose nexus Zeus only needs more Zeus to be awesome
so why not 

The raingun is good but it deeply leans on hammer and hermes to REALLY be awesome
thankz you all
why does the rail depend on hermes?
i see
i once angered aphro, after that one time never again
Horny jail
The raingun is good but it deeply leans on hammer and hermes to REALLY be awesome
@lusty crane Mmm I think gun is mostly more hammer dependent than Hermes dependent
i'd say that too
don't get me wrong you cannot go wrong with getting good Hermes
getting epic Hermes boons feels
so darn good
Iβm always getting weak hermes buffs so now I donβt go to his boons anymore
because attack and speed upgrades for the gun are always great
even common Hermes boons are solid tbh
and once your mirror is well upgraded
these options only get better on average
how'd you get the fancy victory summary rims?
@faint flume ||https://hades.gamepedia.com/Run_Clear_Messages||
no no, i just prefer to spoiler wiki links because, if people wanna go there they will find that stuff themselves
makes sense
also looking at the link, I meant the lining to those screens
best guess is they're related to ||the rank you get from the shade in dad's bedroom?||
@faint flume Oh I see. My bad. ||Do you mean the colour and style of the border of the boon screen?||
yeh
In that case they come from ||spending excess metaresources at the House Contractor, in the metalategame.||
the options will pop up at some point
yeah I haven't decided to ||throw stuff down the bottomless pit yet||, might start doing it soon then
I'm helping by buying new furniture it's fine
can you romance evrye female character? and the only thing u need to do is give them nectar right?
No, you can't romance Nyx. That's just wrong
Jk though,|| there's gifting to be friends, as well as gifting for romance||
they start as the same mechanic though
but basicly for both i just need to give nectar?
To start off with yes
i still dont really get it
also you can romance male characters as well
yeah, but maybe in dms
is it worth playing with an unupgraded ||hera||
So is this the channel where I can shamelessly promote the Hades video I made where I give away a steam copy of the game?
JESUS CHRIST HADES WAS ACTUALLY ONE HIT AWAY
i am so mad
I got killed by the wave thing
f
f indeed
whenever i boot up hades, i get an option for hades, vulcan, and 32-bit. does anyone know the difference?
Added choice of rendering configurations when starting the game, including a new Vulkan renderer option, which may lead to better performance and stability on some systems (you can also run this version of Hades.exe directly from the x64Vk folder in your install directory)
After the ||500 gem contract|| are there any more non-cosmetic contracts involving gems?
The rug is the most powerful contract in the game
how many redacted are we talking about here ?
oh wait, he meant gemstones, not diamonds...
ye, there's a few at ||2000 or 3000|| if memory serves.
The ||500 gem one is for infernal trove||
Just found out Dusa hums while she's cleaning and it's the cutest thing!
I believe the only way to avoid it is i frame it
Deflect does nothing
time to practice i-framing it then
:D
tbf hazard bomb only does 1% damage to yourself
Does Deflect also block dmg from my Railgun Special?
@brisk trail I mean, if you deflected it it would still deal damage to you
But yeah it really isnt that hard to just dash through it, and even then the damage aint that bad (at low heat)
I'm sure you can practice i-framing it just off the sound cue of the special's flight path
Fyi if you're critting for 2000 damage, self damage would still only be 20
which is absolutely manageable
And I'm not sure you're critting for 2k
If you're dealing that much damage then you dont need the Eris boost anyways
either you're doing so much damage, everything dies without Eris
or you need the damage boost, and the chip self damage is manageable
that's fair... I kinda just run SD though
so my health is totally transitory from chamber to chamber
Eris is Additive
I mean
it's great, it's just not insane OP crazy
Back in old early access
when numbers were all multiplicative
you'd get 900% 1000% damage combos
which is really hard to balance
and design enemies around
when numbers were all multiplicative
@tiny grove damn that sounds wack
I am very glad that they decided to go additive instead for the vast majority of modifiers
No, crit is the only thing that's multiplicative
@tiny grove damn that sounds wack
@quiet gull I do believe that is the technical term for it yes
It's part of the reason Hunter's Mark is so good
crit damage modifiers also additive
start the crit chain from here there anywhere
Spellbow Crits are also nice
Hera?
Ye
Still need to play Hera actually :D
Common Rare Epic Heroic Legendary
Duo?
Legendary same rarity as Duo
Well thats them. ;p
The rarities are common, rare, epic, heroic, legendary, duo
That's it
That's a legendary
legendary, Artemis
Artemis' legendary
Coupling the Hera bow with Dionysus cast means that you can put only the 2 blood needed to unlock the bow in and then be good
all makes sense now :)
Also it gets rid of the lobbing
anyone know how I can gift a copy of hades on switch to a friend? Looks like digital codes aren't sold on amazon and I don't think nintendo's eshop supports gift sending π¦
Sure ting
Lightning reflexes just checks if you had a near miss
in the same way that ruthless reflex does
anything that happens after is whatever
||HADES SECOND PHASE ARE YOU FCKING KIDDDDIINNNNGNGNGN||
@crimson canopy far as I know, the eshop doesnt have that feature. You're better off just gifting your friend some money for the eshop via the gift cards
so no divine dash does not destroy lightning reflexes
||Hades second phase feels easier than the first one to me. Don't freak out too much||

@hard pier ||Straight off the bat he used the laser thing and I dashed but it just kept on me, and I died||
Get rekt
whats Hell Mode? and can i switch to it at a later point or is that only if i ever decide to reroll my save?
Bad
:(
whats Hell Mode? and can i switch to it at a later point or is that only if i ever decide to reroll my save?
@grand bay New save only
Give me your booze shot and go away
ah shiet π¦
yeah I was panicking a little, since it was only my third time getting there
||The shield makes the lasers trivial btw||
i think ill complete the story on my first save and then reroll a new Hell Mode Save
||The shield makes the lasers trivial btw||
@hard pier ||yeah makes sense, I was using bow||
I don't get why you'd want Hell mode that bad, but you do you
what does Hell Mode do anyway?
Just block them
Ez
||yeah makes sense, I was using bow||
@cedar remnant ||which one||
@grand bay ||It adds 5 non-negotiable heat pacts, and delays all bounties by 5 heat||
@cedar remnant ||which one||
@hard pier ||hera lvl 1||
Go Dio cast
?
Highest burst damage you'll be able to get early on
Poseidon is a God I use when I want more darkness and gems
Does anyone remember when you had to earn heat just to use it during runs?
Artemis is nice, the season lady also helps, Zeus has a nice duo
k
I'll go for the zeus one
and hopefully I'll make it there again, and not panic this time
Zeus has a nice duo boon with festive fog
||Please tell me there's not a third phase||
||nope||
There's not
phew
Dionysus is S Tier God for me
How does one look at their achievements?
I didnt get my copy from steam
You mean the fated list?
I bought mt early access when iy was only available on Epic
No I'm not talking about the fates
press shift f3 in game
Ive done th At and it shows nothing
probably because you bought your copy before epic games had achievements
I wanna see all the achievements ive gotten over time
they only added them in the most recent software update
Yeah my screen was flooded with them for a solid 2 minutes
I disnt get to read most of them because they went by too fast
I don't have achievements, downside of being a switch owner
@hard pier so I want to take trippy flare?
But how would I look at them?
I have it on epic and I press shift f3
But where do you look at them when,you press shift 3
are twin-stick controls on the roadmap for this game?
there's a little tick on the right left of the box that appears on the right @crisp ocean
Trippy Shot, yes
Could you show me? I'm not in the game rn
I have no idea what ||beowulf|| is, I have ||hera|| and I got it in the boon menu?
@hard pier so do it take it, else what do I take?
Well, hope for the Zeus duo
Otherwise you're pretty much golden, I'd say
Take other boons that you'd help in general
Are you sure trippy flare is unique?
Flare, yes
because I just got it right now
There's a bug where flare will pop up with hera
huh
Ah
so do i take?
Well I dunno how that'd work
I've seen it with dio cast
it still works apparently?
in some instances using a pom will make it revert to normal cast instead of flare in the boon menu
it says offering requirements: none in particular
but the text is independent of the actual boon, should still work fine
unless a recent patch broke it from my last test
Really, the gods you'll want to hope for a duo with are Demeter and/or Zeus when you go for the Trippy Shot, though it'll do adequately on its own
Perhaps you'll get lucky
possibly
That's how rogue lites like to go
but I'll count on zeus
It'll work fine without the duo boon, it'll just be better with it
Don't stress too much over getting it
should I always take chaos if I have enough health?
well,
Not always, certainly depends on room choices too.
And earlier chaos room present less "danger" then later ones. I mean get a -50% dash range reduction for 4 rooms right before the 3rd boss with EM3 on and well... that sucks.
Ofc you can pick another 'reward' but all things to keep in mind.
Can you reroll if the chaos ones suck, etc.
in some instances using a pom will make it revert to normal cast instead of flare in the boon menu
@gusty slate this did not happen
jolted doesn't negate I think
there is a boon that makes jolted last 10 sec or so
so yea, that be short immortalty
no negate, just damage to them
oh wow hell mode is rough af π
does anybody other than streamers who try to bait viewers play it? lmao
I found Hell mode to be more annoying then difficult difficult.
I'll stick with normal (and higher heat).
its probably just a terrible start but after you get to like 10k+ darkness and a few other upgrades its not much worse?
oh wow hell mode is rough af π
@grand bay Oh dear. ||I ended up doing 120 darkness Hades fight in Hell mode, I did 10% phase 1 in 1 min||
hell mode is literally available the moment you click play game bro are you serious
Anyone else think we could have a rogue like with Norse mythology themes next?
Then I died
hell mode is purely front-loaded, early-game difficulty
PL is a real thing tho
@hard pier which daedalus stuff do I want?
it's an eh addition for having to start all over or playing a save that would've been the exact same as normal mode anyways
k so nothing specific for the dio cast
yeah starting over kinda sucks tbh ;x
Do whatever, Experiment. I can't guide you through learning the game bro xD
Flame wheels eat my hp so easily
You mean || the exploding carriages on Elysium?||
Biggest part is trying not to be greedy to kill em.
Use terrain.
bad for close range stuff
Yeah, that
the easiest thing to do is just kite them into walls/pillars/borders
it's an eh addition for having to start all over or playing a save that would've been the exact same as normal mode anyways
@flat vapor I meant more that it had a real effect on how hard the game is
but yes that too
Unless I have deflect they always hurt
The run I'm on is not going as well as the one I got him to ||phase 2|| on
Anyone else wonder why flame wheels make cat noises?
cat wheels you mean?
My gf loves cats so, I feel like I hear cat sounds everywhere
glad it's not just me

nemean chariots are lions
Lions are cool, cats are not hides scars
lion go meow
No they don't
btw cats only meow because they love us, they growl at challenger cats
meow meow because they treat us like momma/papa cat
I think the orange horn hydra's the easiest
I hate the ones that just all they do is slam
Anyone know if there has been any word on when the Switch version is getting the patch, if ever, yet?
I didn't even know there was a switch version
What'll they think of next ? Hades VR?
Lol
@agile ingot it should be soonβthey were planning by the end of October but ran into some delays. No set date that I know of yet though
dΓ³ enyone know why i just lost all mi progress in the game
Did you delete your game file?
no
lol. i fixed the joycon drift with like a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol
@round wraith oh yeah same
i used wd40 actually
it asked me to save local or cloud and i pressed cloud and i lost all my progress
well
@random iron steam or epic?
epic
Ppl still use joycons? Lol
Alright. If you check Documents/Saved Games/ Hades, do the save files there have the correct timestamp for the last time you played?
Aight. Could you check them? You may be able to recover your progress with the steps towards the end of #h1-tech-fixes
You know I have an idea, since you can basically customize every aspect of the aesthetics and whatnot, shoulf you not also get to customize what Zagreus wears?
Like as in different outfits
Nope, and for good reason xD
Thanks Onyx
@rough token there is noting called hades.log
@random iron not that part, the part about "if you lose your progress"
That lose progress only works if you crashed during a run, right?
I see
and only if you haven't created a 'hard save' by walking into bedroom or dying/clearing
Nope
Oh?
It works under any circumstances, bringing you back to the last autosave (if you use _temp.sav) or the last backup (if you use .sav.bak)
sad the game doesn't do it automatically
It's to prevent easy save-scumming, basically, so you can't walk into a room, almost die, then just quit and reset the room
@rough token i donsted work i cnat open the file
You don't need to open it
Just rename it
If you'd like, we could move to #h1-tech-support so you can send me a screenshot of your folder?
sure
Yup :D
I wasn't expecting them,to be the one who hired him
Talks to Charon
Charon: Nnnnnggh aaaaahhhh
Zagreus: lovely chatting
Is there a right channel for like, LF speedrunning amateur's level? It would be cool to match up against people just for fun, and practice strats
I think there's a discord for the speedrunning community? I'd check the speedrunning website
https://discord.gg/zN7cc8Z you're right, thanks!
Good thing they added Hermes to the game, otherwise they couldn't be speedrunning.
New Hades ||EM3|| festive idea, for Christmas Theseus is riding Santas sleigh and asterius is pulling,it
Nah, Asterius is riding and Theseus pulling
Thesesus: I've heard from the great Warrior known as Santa Claus and according to his list you've been a Bad Blagard, Prepare to be Punished Hellspawn!!
Shield of Chaos, Aspect of Santa
Malphron is just red mittens
Asterius: King, is it,really necessary to wear this red nose?
Thesesus: What!? Of course it is Asterius. The Great warrior Santa Claus has bestowed his flying chariot to us. Where's your Christmas spirit?
I think I broke the server with that one XD
Evening, I'm trying to get Malphon's hidden aspect, but|| Asterius doesn't want to spawn,|| I've been trying all week and only getting the butterfly ball. Is this even normal, or RNGesus is just not smiling on me?
@upbeat mirage sounds like RNG not smiling :S
I rarely get the butterfly ball
there was a time a week ago or so that I'd get him every single run, now that I need him, he's on holiday...
that's why I even came here, thinking if it was a bug, if there is a weekly rotation or something
every single run since I've started to try to get the hidden fists, butterfly ball...
Just keep playing
well, I guess I need to light a couple candles to RNGesus and see if he finally smiles upon me
You'll get him eventually, just like I'm waiting to to fight the tiny vermin king
is there anything the tiny vermin is supposed to do, or just to see how it is?
because I've fought him once, I was quite surprised
What are yall's favorite weapon aspects for each weapon from just a "most fun" standpoint. Mine are ||Arthur||, Achilles, Zeus, ||Rama||, ||Gilgamesh|| and ||Lucifer||
The tanky boi is my fav aspect period
Oooh 21 minutes, new best time
Kinda funny to have Demeter kill redacted with the 10 chill stack
Zag, Zag, Zag, Zag, Zag, and Zag cause I'm a contrarian
Lol
||i love how when you use Hadesβs call on Hades heβs like βyes Iβm right hereβ!β||
Late game stuff
||Hades has a call? Interesting.||
when ||zag keeps telling orphreus about his "achievements" , i keep taking them seriously too x,D||
Hey, I play Hades for around a week now, and want to leave some feedback. Overall its amazing game: visuals, voicing, plot, sidestories,pacing and progression, everything is top notch. I have very few gripes, mostly about gameplay, but those are quite a big ones I guess.
- Dash spam. Dash spamming strats are ridiculously easy to build and play, at least on moderate heat levels. Dash spamming is very forgiving and effective, i had very succesfull builds where i had litterally only space boons and ult, no m1, m2 or special boons at all and playing in such way was super easy still. There is 2 reasons why dash spam is so effective: dash cooldown is too low, i believe its around 0.5 seconds for dash reset even when you have only 1 dash, which is too low imo, it still alows spamming. In fact that cooldown is so low that I don't really need more then 2 dashes for evading unless i want to dmg or get boosts after dashes. And secondly while you perform dash strike and dash special, you don't need to wait fade out animation, like with repeatedly spamming m1s, so you can perform 2 consecutive dash attacks very fast, faster then consecutive m1s on most weapons. With some boons that are imo ill designed and facilitate dash spamming potential, like ones that give you insane speed boos and sturdy after dash, or give very substantial ligtning dmg on near miss, or return half of lost hp after dash; all those make mindless spamming much more effective than planned dash usage. Return half of lost hp after dash is a very definition of badly designed perk imo, because it rewards bad plays, why bother with timing your dashes correctly when you get rewarded if you mistime them?
I really feel that increasing dash cooldown for at least 2 seconds would solve many of the problems descibed and would also require some wasd skills to avoid AOEs instead of just dash spam.
i wasn't sure where to put my feedback, cause there is no dedicated feedback channel :/
Ya that fits very well in hades discussion
ok, i'll leave it here
i dash spam constantly , especially with poseidon boons
its like muscle memory with a controller
I find that dash spamming is definitely a valid strategy for dps but it can be hard to control my self doing that so I take damage pretty often
But often yes, dash spamming is the best way to get top dps
You can do both at the the same time
zig zag
the main drawback to dash attacking is that you lose your i-frames once you attack
But athena covers that
with the reflect ?
its like the #1 thing i need a lot of the time
i wasn't sure where to put my feedback, cause there is no dedicated feedback channel :/
@autumn rose There used to be during early access but I think they're closing it until when if they decide to make a DLC or other major update, which they've not made any indication they'll do as of yet.
i will hand them my entire wallet whenever they decide to do something
- Shields that give permanent 100% block on frontal attacks and even some AOEs. This leads to even more stupid gameplay imo. Constand bull rush spam has almost no drawbacks as of now. Its very annoying mechanic both on enemies and your own weapon. I wouldn't mind it as much on enemies, but aegis gameplay becomes just silly: permanently charge bull rushes, it blocks everything while charging, and even while you already charging, if you see unblockable AOE under yourself, just release rush and you'll slide right out of it. Silliest part that you can block stuff that even appears unblockable in game: saws, large aoe attacks, death rays, etc. At least make those attacks dmg you while you charge or slide, that would seem fair to me.
at this point, they might follow posted feedback but their focus is on finishing up the game polish
w8, you mean they aren't going to change anything anymore? : O
Development has finished, yes
They'll probably do more small updates to balance the game but that's about it
But some balance changes still come through
It's a 1.0 release, there won't be any substantial changes after that
i use to spam bull rush when i first started playing , but my gameplay has changed a lot since then
It's 180Β°
ish, you can still be hit from a front angle
The problem with bull rush spam is that usually means you're not doing optimal DPS, which starts to hurt more as you climb heat. Still a great tool to have, but definitely not something that "solves" the game
if it's from outside of the width
i'm talking about moderate heat plays as i described above
i didn't yet beat game with 32, so i would know how to do that
How do you feel about Eris rail, m8
Other playstyles yield more fps
optimal DPS
Not really something I care about so far
With shield
the most heat ive done is 5 x,D im the slowest gamer on the planet but i soak it all up like a sponge so i remember everything
i don't really think that optimizing game for high heat gameplay is a way to go, since its single player game, and most people wouldn't play on those difficulties anyway.
I have a hard time thinking shield is too powerful given everything else going on
If anything I wish they'd buff spear more
It depends on the aspects, I'd say
spear with zeus buffs is π³
i don't really think, that optimizing game for high heat gameplay is a way to go, since its single player game, and most people wouldn't play on those difficulties anyway.
@autumn rose that's literally the end game
That's the only time where optimization matters
they try to balance it for both, ime
As you can see a lot do also
There are games where only 1% of all the players reach lvl 99. Then you won't 'optimise' for that.
That would be silly.
that's literally the end game That's the only time where optimization matters
so you propose that dash spamming 80% of gameplay time, up untill you climb to highest heat gauges is a good game design?
I'm having trouble imagining that I'd do great with the shield under time pressure. Hera bow is one fast beast, but the shield? Yeah I'll have problems
Chaos can be fast.
@autumn rose that's literally the end game That's the only time where optimization matters
so you propose that dash spamming 80% of gameplay time, up untill you climb to highest heat gauges is a good game design?
@autumn rose in gungeon you also dash spam

and Gungeon is a completely different game
Nono, it's rolling
That's the joke

Honestly I see no need to nerf things rn
Dash and attack is the core gameplay
Maybe some buffs to make stuff even and maybe take the damage away from athena dash
The fun begins if you try to make cast your main damage
It's a singleplayer game
Who forces you to take the op stuff?
Same argument
lets be realistic here, now everyone is going to beat this game 100%, in fact most people may stop somewhere after end titles, cause gameplay is kinda repetitive, you gotta be a fan to play on high heat
Mentioning Athena, I'll have to try the Athena and Ares duo
That's not the point trying to make rn
I'm trying to go on your singleplayer route
Since we seem to have differing opinions on the heat thing
It's a singleplayer game Who forces you to take the op stuff?
How do you propose me to not spam dash? Only way i can imagine is just playing ranged weapons, cause otherwise what should i do, intentionally wait 2 seconds after my dashes each time?
I wouldn't agree with that point. From my understanding there ||is something akin to a new story|| after you saw the credits. Not that I'd know. But I love the story here and I'll stickaround for that
It's a singleplayer game Who forces you to take the op stuff?
How do you propose me to not spam dash? Only way i can imagine is just playing ranged weapons, cause otherwise what should i do, intentionally wait 2 seconds after my dashes each time?
@autumn rose okay he's said nothing of the sort
It's a singleplayer game Who forces you to take the op stuff?
How do you propose me to not spam dash? Only way i can imagine is just playing ranged weapons, cause otherwise what should i do, intentionally wait 2 seconds after my dashes each time?
@autumn rose that's literally the core gameplay loop
Spamming dash is definitely the intended behaviour
You have your attacks and your dash
Your dash is the means for mobility and evasion
Just watch the devs play, it's intended
What are you arguing lol
The only ones that don't spam it are speed runners going for merciful end
Your dash is the means for mobility and evasion
but you don't need to time it if you spam it, see?
that's a problem
Your dash is the means for mobility and evasion
but you don't need to time it if you spam it, see?
@autumn rose you can though
Neither do you have to in most games
when im spam dashing, im still thinking of traps and stuff
I think you'd enjoy Transistor a lot if you think dash spamming is bad
it reaches a point, yes at a bit higher difficulty, where spamming dash will kill you
especially in elysium
If you don't like the spam so much, just take the... What was the mirror upgrade? The alternative to the second dash?
That should solve your problems
If you hate the core gameplay that's on you
If you don't like the spam so much, just take the... What was the mirror upgrade? The alternative to the second dash? That should solve your problems
not really, I argue that cooldown even on single dash is too low
Also regarding the ranged weapon thing, if you read here long enough, even in new player channel there's weapons for everyone
Some even hate the ranged ones
Don't assume from yourself to every other person
it's okay to not like the game, man, but understand that your opinion is of an extreme minority
Why do you need a dash cooldown?
Your pretty immobile otherwise
This chat is boring and is now about Unicorns.
Zag sword gang
It's how the game is designed
i don't assume anything i'm descibing my impressions, and leave it a feedback :/
Can we switch topic?
@dark scroll pink fluffy unicorns
This chat is boring and is now about Unicorns.
@dark scroll can we talk about bouldy


i don't assume anything i'm descibing my impressions, and leave it a feedback :/
@autumn rose Trust me dude, go play Transistor
You fill my heart with joy
i played transistor already

@autumn rose sry dude I don't mean to bash you
didn't like at as much really
Hmmm I dunno, talking about the end boss of the game is considered to be a bit spoilery but ok.... lets talk about Bouldy.
It's on my switch wishlist
@hard pier 20% discount at the moment.
Isn't bouldy hella T H I C C?
once cross saves is a thing /hopefully/ , im gonan get it
Oh transistor?
Oh common
Nvm.
At least tag that
Ah yes I bought Hades on sale like... 1 and a half weeks ago
Gonna use it to bridge time till the new Hyrule Warriors comes out, but that's off-topic
Read a bunch of comments that the performance of the new game is pretty meh. Lots of laggy/pop in stuff.
i bought it and then like 4 days later it went on sale, but i wasnt even mad bc i love it so much
There's demo I suppose.
iβve played the demo and the gameplayβs pretty much the same from hyrule warriors outside runes and divine beasts and such
Bought it on evil EGS for 5,63 or so. Then on Switch.
havenβt used divine beasts (didnβt get far in the demo so i donβt know if theyβre even in it) but hey seem pretty similar to that beast ganon dlc they had going on
for uhh Hyrule Warriors
You only get to play in the Hyrule Fields and a few shrines, the whole champion stuff is only in the full game
(there is #video-games if you want to talk about Hyrule Warriors)
oh yeah sorry
kinda forgot this is big lads
I dunno, is it a spoiler?
ehhh technically?
It's just some random convo that pops up, ain't it
it's a bit of a spoiler, just because it takes a bit of time to get to
not really but yea?
and it's fun for people to discover on their own
That's actual mythology
which is reason enough to tag it
Lernie isn't a spoiler tho
That's actual mythology
@cedar remnant yeah

Lernie best bone snek
Pre modern greece transition
we're discussing it in #h1-story-discussion actually
i will make a lernie plushie if its the last thing i do
Please make me a bouldy plushie
you will be the only one 2 get one
but technically not really because in real mythology Zag is Zeus and Persephone's Son
I'd buy a bouldy plushie
you will be the only one 2 get one
@rose nexus
SGG has taken certain liberties from the original mythos
and there are multiple versions of Zagreus' myth
Well technically not a lot about zag is known
It's cool the locations are similar to how they were meant to be
Or not as concrete
Thats what she said.
Make Chaos plush. With all the degenerated faces and flowery crystals and all
Would be cool
Is there Chaos fanart somewhere
tons
Zag is 5'11" and everyone else is 6'0"
#fan-works among other places
i wonder if zag eats his vegetables
Zag is 5'11" and everyone else is 6'0"
@carmine zodiac I dunno how tall that is
Since I use the metric system like a normal human being

It's a meme
those pomegranates look rather metallic
Ik

Just wanted to crap on everything that's not metric system
I'll have to get some more pomegranates, actually. Wanted to make some pomegranate juice
Or you buy pomegranate juice
yum
Nono
There's magic in making it yourself
It's why I also cook for myself
It's fun
Though you're right, just buying it would be considerably cheaper
Cooking is the best
I'll have to get some more pomegranates, actually. Wanted to make some pomegranate juice
@hard pier i tried to eat one the other day and it exploded all over my shirt
But making juice is a waste if ressources and time
Wha
Making juice ends up wasting a lot of perfectly good fruit
And decent gadgets/machines for that aren't cheap
Okay okay I get it
I'd imagine its quite hard making pomegranate juice yourself

I'd smash zagreus
No pome juice then
zagreus for smash
@rose nexus it's been proposed and designed by fans
Since the seeds yk
@rose nexus it's been proposed and designed by fans
@rough token id cry for zag in smash
Still, some pomegranates would be tasty
I believe people have posted their Zag builds in #fan-works
I'd smash zagreus
@carmine zodiac as long as he doesnt manhandle things
Tbh the hades characters feel more guilty gear than smash to me
It would by Byleth but way cooler
I never buy the fighters passes so I don't care
I've already spent 60 bucks, they won't get more
Any word on Switch-Steam crosssaves?
Soonish.
Soon
Hey ik this is random but I was wondering if there was any advice or tactic to beat 32 heat, I'm having a little trouble
@spare sparrow plan is soon, they had some extra delays
@agile lichen #h1-high-heat-strategies
I'd ask there ^.^
Do they still make new fighters for smash? I mean they would have to start from scratch dev wise.
Hey ik this is random but I was wondering if there was any advice or tactic to beat 32 heat, I'm having a little trouble
@agile lichen Don't get hit
Dont do RI
I'd ask there ^.^
@rough token thank you
@dark scroll I'll just say Steve
ty
Sure thing 
There's a whole new fighters pass m8
For fighters who are prob already finished in some way or completely.
Zag prob isn't on their radar at all.
I was so disappointed when I saw steve
It's why I rarely play smash
Okay how tf do you guys play this game so much
Like 60 bucks thrown out the window
I can recommend roof rage
Okay how tf do you guys play this game so much
@carmine zodiac wat game
Only play it when buddies are at my place, but we're off topic again
addiction
Like I enjoy hades but I think I got bored somewhere in the teens of heat level
Very fun and different version of smash
Like 60 bucks thrown out the window
@hard pier ive played since game cube so,,
I'm just not a guy for competitive fighting games xD
Same on Switch.
Extreme measures is the only heat modification that makes a particularly interesting change to the game experience
Another 170 on pc.
Platinum Games productions are more my thing
Most pre act 4 aswell.
Those blue hearts also change things up
40% speed makes quite a big difference. ;p
I spend 5 minutes in Erberus with 5-15 skull guys flying after me.
All with 5 hearts.
40% speed on the final boss messes me up
I spend 5 minutes in Erberus with 5-15 skull guys flying after me.
@dark scroll imagine that on a tight deadline

Speedrunners won't go in there ofc. ;p
I still have to kill ||Charon||, just to see what happens. So far he's obliterated me
I know what you get ofc
X is not that difficult really. It's mostly if you face X the first chance you prob only have 2-3 boons.
So you really want it to happen act 2/3 mid.
I'm aiming to face him around ||Elysium||
I can beat him in first area without losing a death defiance
Since Iβm built different
Propably with Hera, just to make sure
And if you face x for the 2nd time, be sure you can take X.
I did it using ||Beowulf||
Well shield. ;p
I'm way too stressed while I've got the ||timer heat|| on. Even tho level 1 is rather generous, I just play a lot more aggressively
Always wished they'd introduce a shieldblock bar or so. I've done a survice 45 sec room with just standing in the corner charging the rush. ;p
the timer oof
Just saw the Hermes Cup speedrunners.
14-17 min runs each time.
depending on weapons.
Interestingly enough, I've been doing better ever since I've switched to that way more aggressive playstyle
Welcome lol
By best run was 21 minutes
Every weapon is a melee weapon
With my aim, every weapon is a melee weapon
Still havent beaten the game with ||exagryph|| even tho I have the "op" aspect
It really isn't for me, somehow
||exagryph|| is weird man
It's only weird if you play on controller and don't have your reload on L
I much prefer the playstyle you have with the ||fists|| or sword
Game feels a lot more "zigzaggy" that way
If I get frustrated with myself I just bust out the Hera bow with Dionysus for a feelgood run
I really love the ||rail||
It's my favorite of them, as you can see in the victory I just posted lol
idk dude
Personal Preference
With the ||gun||, game feels slower somehow
I kill things slower, I don't have to dodge as often as with a melee weapon
Play eris with rockets
Mostly yea, though Eris is the aspect with the fastest speedrunners time i think
That's the fastest the game will feel lol
I always dodge a lot, even with melee stuff
Oof, rockets are extremely pog yeah
I haven't gotten sub-20 yet
I did it using Achilles spear bc I built differently
Ugh, streamer slang
||gun|| special is super cool, don't get me wrong, but you press the button and the damage doesn't come until a solid 2 seconds later
weirdchamp
That's what the rocket hammer is for
My best is only 18 unfortunately
ye, but can't rely on it y'know
Well I'm not a cuber myself but I do hang out with a lot of them so sub-[number] is a common term for me
sub 20, one of these days
Not just streamers π
I meant pog, but ok
imagine saying pog to pidge irl
I need help with understanding how bounties work
Because sometimes I get Titan's Blood and sometimes I don't?
@pearl fractal ||you know that contract thing at when you start a run?||
||You get blood whenever you beat Tartarus for the first time with a particular weapon||
If you cleared the game at heat 1, then turn it up to heat 20, you still only get the bounties for heat level 2
@pearl fractal ||you know that contract thing at when you start a run?||
@heavy breach ||Do you mean the Pact of Punishment? Because I haven't unlocked that yet||
And you wont get bounties for heat level 3 until you FINISH the bounties for heat level 2
regardless of what level you ACTUALLY have it set to
So you cant farm the furies TB at each heat level
Cause you gotta beat the game first
Oh welp
Oh, you havent finished the game yet?
For each weapon.
Yeah, bounties are for each weapon
Seperatly.
imagine if bounties were RNG
Stop
They aren't
Beating redacted or Tartarus with a weapon for the first time gives you blood, repeating throughout the giher difficulties
That's what the funny checbox is for on the map
That's what the funny checbox is for on the map
@brisk trail Yeah I noticed that during those short little inbetween-level sections
I haven't tried Hell Mode so I can't really say for sure
Hell mode is harder, technically
Nope since you can farm Titan blood early game
You can never farm bounties
"farm"
Well broker ik
But that's horribly inefficient
Anyways what're y'all's opinion of Aspect of Poseidon for the Stygian Blade
I mean you only get to alter that if you beat || hades || regardless
Very nice
You get Titan blood on sword heat 1 get Titan blood again then move on to the next weapon
Poseidon sword fun
You literally only need to beat Meg
Needs a good cast boon to be worth it of course, which is a big knock for me
Yeah but it is technically harder than usual
Well broker ik
@quaint hatch I only ever do business with the Broker if I want nectar to simp to a character lmao
You can say itβs faster but not easier
Well itβs not like you NEED to turn up the heat
So itβs more beneficial then harder
You are forced to heat 5 on the get go
also, 5 heat is pretty alright
Turning up the heat let's you reap in higher rewards during play right?
even without all of the mirror stuff
Nope, not if you turn it up more than necessary
It's not more beneficial lol
The only thing heat does for reward is let you get the bounties with each weapon again
Wait rlly?
Yeah. You canβt farm bounties
Grinding out bounties on low heat will just burn you out on the game faster
As I said
Going higher than necessary isnt more beneficial, no
Well I wasnβt told that I thought the hell mode ||pact of punishment|| was optional
I did it thought cause I didnt want to turn EM4 off
Farming in a game like Hades sounds like it could be really repetitive imo
I thought you could avoid the ||pact|| in it
Well I wasnβt told that I thought the hell mode ||pact of punishment|| was optional
@cosmic stone It isnt
Why would the whole pact change with hell mode
I mean farming in any game is repetitive lmao
It's the base of the game
It isnβt. Itβs forced with arguably some of the worst heat options
oh, you can't even pick the options?
Yeah but farming in other games should usually yield more beneficial rewards
Oh god do you have to start the game with hard labour??
Yeah you are locked out on 5 heat with predetermined options
Yeah and the one that reduces healing
That would make early meg fight a lot harder for newbies
that's a bit oof
Oh god it picks the worst ones
And they do more dmg
No invulnerability timer
Normal zagreus has an invulnerability timer in between high bursts of dmg
So youβre telling me the game does: More damage for enemies less healing for you more health for enemies and invulnerability timber
Timer*
Yes
that's fair enough, if you're playing Hell mode, you hopefully shouldn't need the I-frames
Iirc thereβs one more but I forgot
Bleugh
God mode is good
The only god mode id accept is trying to get the 3rd Skelly trophy but even that
Does God mode only affect the contract?
It affects the whole game
Bruh if you canβt beat the game without god mode idk what to say
no need to be rude
players play in the way that suits them and there's nothing wrong with that
Okay I apologise
Quite a few people have come here with god mode over 50% and trouble beating the game
thanks
ok, I looked it up and Hell mode only affects the contract
Don't bash on god mode
No shame in using that
No elitism here
We all want to just have fun and enjoy the game




next person to bouldy emote is stinky
I'd have a problem with godmode if you turn it on after dieing 1-5 times.
Imagine if they added an achievement where you have to defeat the game on hell mode in your first run with zagreus
I will be elitist against those who don't pet the dog evrytime
Ofc, he's a good boy.
Well that makes sense
How is the petting dog 15 times achievement so rare?
Cause people are mean
Like more people have escaped ||Elysium|| then petted the dog 15 times
people are terrible
I have given the dog hard liquor but better too many times probably
Cerb, absolutely Z O I N K E D
lesser, greater, evil is evil

I don't want to
the animation takes too long
Is there even anything in-game behind petting Cerberus enough times?
somebody's going straight to tartarus
Such hatred
if you don't pet the dog enough you get the bad ending /s
spoiler question
the animation takes too long
@tribal willow honestly Frick you
Probably dialogue/final affection actually
how much is there left to do after
Take your time
