death defiance

vocal ridge
#

gusty slate
#

2stubborn2die, extra life

vocal ridge
#

im playing it in spanish

#

ooooooooh

#

sometime the revive doesnt work for me

#

but only on bosses

gusty slate
#

Are you able to see what titan blood is used for now?

vocal ridge
#

yeah

gusty slate
#

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

mossy hazel
#

Hey! Anyone else here died at the same time as Hades, creating a game breaking bug?

vocal ridge
#

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

gusty slate
mossy hazel
#

Nah it was on switch ^^

gusty slate
#

oof

mossy hazel
#

I was just curious ^^

gusty slate
#

Yeah, that sucks, you'll get 'em next time πŸ‘

mossy hazel
#

That was a while ago ^^

#

Came here for the updates x)

vocal ridge
#

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

gusty slate
#

different parts of the game will be hard for different people, but third boss tends to be a wall for players yeah

vocal ridge
#

being able to pet the puppy = GOTY

mossy hazel
#

Nah it's not enough, there's a whole Twitter account about it x)

vocal ridge
#

wait what?

mossy hazel
#

@canyoupetthedog

vocal ridge
#

oh my god

mossy hazel
#

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

vocal ridge
#

yeah

#

you know in ghost of thushima the foxes were petted 100k in a week of the release

mossy hazel
#

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 😭

quick vector
#

Do u we know if they plan on releasing another weapon ?

dark scroll
#

No and I don't think they ever will even if they release a DLC which is still unknown and somewhat unlikely.

gusty slate
#

SGG hasn't confirmed or denied anything, we can only hope

dark scroll
#

Keep buying the game, we'll shower em in money so they'll have to spend it on making dlc.

gusty slate
#

takes funds to build next game thanthink

I don't mind either outcomes

@vocal ridge I lost my mind when in first pet cerb

manic vessel
#

i cant get further then the minotaur any tips i love the bow but i still have to try the gun

formal nimbus
#

Get behind to damage during the 2 big swipes, then dash under his jump when he turns for the last hit of the combo.

manic vessel
#

thx

formal nimbus
#

Having some deflect also work as a cheat if you don't know how to avoid his projectiles

robust sundial
#

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.

lusty crane
#

third boss has always been harder for me than second boss

manic vessel
#

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

tiny grove
#

I mean, this game is SP

lusty crane
#

it's fine I took like 41 runs to escape my first time

tiny grove
#

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 zaglol

manic vessel
#

should i try the railgun

glass flame
#

hey, fwiw, I'm on run 40 and still haven't gotten through the third region

manic vessel
#

i love the bow

lusty crane
#

yeah go for the railgun

#

try it out

manic vessel
#

nut the railgun is the only one i didnt use yet

glass flame
#

Definitely! Mix up your weapons, and you'll get used to and appreciate all of them

cursive crater
#

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 ^-^

manic vessel
#

what should i use on the gun, artemis, or zeus or?

@cursive crater i play on switch, its really awesome

glass flame
#

Can't speak to FPS since it doesn't matter to me a whole lot, but the game is definitely readable!

lusty crane
#

I play on switch so I would say it's pretty readable

glass flame
#

It feels so good on the Switch

tiny grove
#

what should i use on the gun, artemis, or zeus or?
@manic vessel Arty is great with the special

cursive crater
#

Even on the little screen ? Good to know guys :)

tiny grove
#

Zeus is solid for the attack on gun in general

manic vessel
#

okay got it thank you

lusty crane
#

but the gun has some awesome hammer upgrades too

manic vessel
#

maybe the gun will give my my first escape

tiny grove
#

gun is my highest winrate weapon so far

manic vessel
#

if i see a hermes boon, is that alwasy a go to except when i need to choose between hermes or hammer?

tiny grove
#

Definitely a good weapon

cursive crater
#

Hermes is dope

lusty crane
#

i'd pick hammer over hermes most of the time

tiny grove
#

I mean, always is a strong word in this game

#

a really, really strong word

manic vessel
#

so always hamer and then hermes second?

tiny grove
#

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

manic vessel
#

okay got it

#

k

cursive crater
#

Hammer over hermes but hermes is definitely S tier God for me !

rose nexus
#

Zeus is solid for the attack on gun in general
@tiny grove I love Zeus on everything tbh

tiny grove
#

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 bouldy

rose nexus
lusty crane
#

The raingun is good but it deeply leans on hammer and hermes to REALLY be awesome

manic vessel
#

thankz you all

austere stag
#

why does the rail depend on hermes?

lusty crane
#

I find it to

#

attack and special speed is crazy helpful

austere stag
#

i see

manic vessel
#

i once angered aphro, after that one time never again

austere stag
#

haha

#

yeah

rose nexus
#

Horny jail

tiny grove
#

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

lusty crane
#

i'd say that too

tiny grove
#

don't get me wrong you cannot go wrong with getting good Hermes

#

getting epic Hermes boons feels

#

so darn good

rose nexus
#

I’m always getting weak hermes buffs so now I don’t go to his boons anymore

lusty crane
#

because attack and speed upgrades for the gun are always great

tiny grove
#

even common Hermes boons are solid tbh

#

and once your mirror is well upgraded

#

these options only get better on average

faint flume
#

how'd you get the fancy victory summary rims?

tiny grove
faint flume
#

should I spoiler btw?

#

and thanks

tiny grove
#

no no, i just prefer to spoiler wiki links because, if people wanna go there they will find that stuff themselves

faint flume
#

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?||

tiny grove
#

@faint flume Oh I see. My bad. ||Do you mean the colour and style of the border of the boon screen?||

faint flume
#

yeh

tiny grove
#

In that case they come from ||spending excess metaresources at the House Contractor, in the metalategame.||

#

the options will pop up at some point

faint flume
#

yeah I haven't decided to ||throw stuff down the bottomless pit yet||, might start doing it soon then

tiny grove
#

Oi the House of Hades isn't a bottomless pit, that's unfair

faint flume
#

I'm helping by buying new furniture it's fine

manic vessel
#

can you romance evrye female character? and the only thing u need to do is give them nectar right?

tiny grove
#

No, you can't romance Nyx. That's just wrong

manic vessel
#

oh yeah right stupid me

#

sorry

tiny grove
#

Jk though,|| there's gifting to be friends, as well as gifting for romance||

#

they start as the same mechanic though

manic vessel
#

but basicly for both i just need to give nectar?

tiny grove
#

To start off with yes

manic vessel
#

i still dont really get it

tiny grove
#

Do you want me to spoil for you?

#

or not

faint flume
#

also you can romance male characters as well

manic vessel
#

yeah, but maybe in dms

glass shell
#

is it worth playing with an unupgraded ||hera||

novel shadow
#

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

cedar remnant
#

f indeed

shy tartan
#

whenever i boot up hades, i get an option for hades, vulcan, and 32-bit. does anyone know the difference?

flat vapor
#

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)

half mica
#

After the ||500 gem contract|| are there any more non-cosmetic contracts involving gems?

carmine zodiac
#

The rug is the most powerful contract in the game

robust sundial
#

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.

half mica
#

The ||500 gem one is for infernal trove||

marsh pendant
#

Just found out Dusa hums while she's cleaning and it's the cutest thing!dusa

tiny grove
#

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

quiet gull
#

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)

tiny grove
#

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

quiet gull
#

If you're dealing that much damage then you dont need the Eris boost anyways

tiny grove
#

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

quiet gull
#

when numbers were all multiplicative
@tiny grove damn that sounds wack

tiny grove
#

I am very glad that they decided to go additive instead for the vast majority of modifiers

quiet gull
#

No, crit is the only thing that's multiplicative

tiny grove
#

@tiny grove damn that sounds wack
@quiet gull I do believe that is the technical term for it yes

quiet gull
#

but crit chance is additive

#

0

tiny grove
#

It's part of the reason Hunter's Mark is so good

quiet gull
#

crit damage modifiers also additive

tiny grove
#

start the crit chain from here there anywhere

hard pier
#

Spellbow Crits are also nice

tiny grove
#

Hera?

hard pier
#

Ye

tiny grove
#

Still need to play Hera actually :D

dark scroll
#

Heroic.

#

Well its not higher perse but legendary.

tiny grove
#

Common Rare Epic Heroic Legendary

quiet gull
#

Duo?

tiny grove
#

Legendary same rarity as Duo

dark scroll
#

Well thats them. ;p

quiet gull
#

The rarities are common, rare, epic, heroic, legendary, duo

#

That's it

#

That's a legendary

dark scroll
#

legendary, Artemis

quiet gull
#

Artemis' legendary

hard pier
#

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

tiny grove
#

all makes sense now :)

hard pier
#

Also it gets rid of the lobbing

crimson canopy
#

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 😦

tiny grove
#

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

cedar remnant
#

||HADES SECOND PHASE ARE YOU FCKING KIDDDDIINNNNGNGNGN||

tiny grove
#

it's more of a timing thing

#

It will say near miss!

hard pier
#

@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

tiny grove
#

so no divine dash does not destroy lightning reflexes

hard pier
#

||Hades second phase feels easier than the first one to me. Don't freak out too much||

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?

hard pier
#

Bad

cedar remnant

:(

tiny grove
#

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

hard pier
#

Give me your booze shot and go away

grand bay
#

ah shiet 😦

cedar remnant
#

yeah I was panicking a little, since it was only my third time getting there

hard pier
#

||The shield makes the lasers trivial btw||

grand bay
#

i think ill complete the story on my first save and then reroll a new Hell Mode Save

cedar remnant
#

||The shield makes the lasers trivial btw||
@hard pier ||yeah makes sense, I was using bow||

hard pier
#

I don't get why you'd want Hell mode that bad, but you do you

grand bay
#

what does Hell Mode do anyway?

tepid plover
#

"Trivial"

#

Lol

hard pier
#

Just block them

#

Ez

#

||yeah makes sense, I was using bow||
@cedar remnant ||which one||

tiny grove
#

@grand bay ||It adds 5 non-negotiable heat pacts, and delays all bounties by 5 heat||

cedar remnant
#

@cedar remnant ||which one||
@hard pier ||hera lvl 1||

hard pier
#

Go Dio cast

cedar remnant
#

?

hard pier
#

You'll be pretty much good after that

#

Dionysus cast

#

Festive Fog

cedar remnant
#

oh i see

#

I was using a poseidon-sorta-build

hard pier
#

Highest burst damage you'll be able to get early on

cedar remnant
#

Yeah sure I'll try that

#

which other god goes with that?

hard pier
#

Poseidon is a God I use when I want more darkness and gems

crisp ocean
#

Does anyone remember when you had to earn heat just to use it during runs?

hard pier
#

Artemis is nice, the season lady also helps, Zeus has a nice duo

cedar remnant
#

k

#

I'll go for the zeus one

#

and hopefully I'll make it there again, and not panic this time

hard pier
#

Zeus has a nice duo boon with festive fog

cedar remnant
#

||Please tell me there's not a third phase||

hard pier
#

||nope||

crisp ocean
#

There's not

cedar remnant
#

phew

crisp ocean
#

Unless...

#

Lmao jk

hard pier
#

Dionysus is S Tier God for me

crisp ocean
#

How does one look at their achievements?

cedar remnant
#

on steam?

#

or on Epic?

crisp ocean
#

I didnt get my copy from steam

hard pier
#

You mean the fated list?

crisp ocean
#

I bought mt early access when iy was only available on Epic

#

No I'm not talking about the fates

cedar remnant
#

press shift f3 in game

crisp ocean
#

Ive done th At and it shows nothing

cedar remnant
#

probably because you bought your copy before epic games had achievements

crisp ocean
#

I wanna see all the achievements ive gotten over time

cedar remnant
#

they only added them in the most recent software update

crisp ocean
#

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

hard pier
#

I don't have achievements, downside of being a switch owner

cedar remnant
#

@hard pier so I want to take trippy flare?

crisp ocean
#

But how would I look at them?

cedar remnant
#

I have it on epic and I press shift f3

crisp ocean
#

But where do you look at them when,you press shift 3

vocal cypress
#

are twin-stick controls on the roadmap for this game?

cedar remnant
#

there's a little tick on the right left of the box that appears on the right @crisp ocean

hard pier
#

Trippy Shot, yes

crisp ocean
#

Could you show me? I'm not in the game rn

hard pier
#

Trippy flare is Unique to ||beowulf||

#

So you won't get to use it with ||Hera||

cedar remnant
#

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?

hard pier
#

Well, hope for the Zeus duo

#

Otherwise you're pretty much golden, I'd say

#

Take other boons that you'd help in general

cedar remnant
#

Are you sure trippy flare is unique?

hard pier
#

Flare, yes

cedar remnant
#

because I just got it right now

gusty slate
#

There's a bug where flare will pop up with hera

cedar remnant
#

huh

hard pier
#

Ah

cedar remnant
#

so do i take?

hard pier
#

Well I dunno how that'd work

gusty slate
#

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

cedar remnant
#

it says offering requirements: none in particular

gusty slate
#

but the text is independent of the actual boon, should still work fine

#

unless a recent patch broke it from my last test

hard pier
#

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

cedar remnant
#

alright I'll go for a zeus then

#

I don't have demeter's keepsake yet anyway

hard pier
#

Perhaps you'll get lucky

cedar remnant
#

possibly

hard pier
#

That's how rogue lites like to go

cedar remnant
#

but I'll count on zeus

hard pier
#

It'll work fine without the duo boon, it'll just be better with it

#

Don't stress too much over getting it

cedar remnant
#

yeah I can tell

#

ok

gusty slate
#

Yeah duos aren't end all be all

#

they're just really nice to have

cedar remnant
#

should I always take chaos if I have enough health?

gleaming sparrow
#

well,

dark scroll
#

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.

cedar remnant
#

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

dark scroll
#

jolted doesn't negate I think

#

there is a boon that makes jolted last 10 sec or so

#

so yea, that be short immortalty

gusty slate
#

no negate, just damage to them

grand bay
#

oh wow hell mode is rough af πŸ˜„

#

does anybody other than streamers who try to bait viewers play it? lmao

dark scroll
#

I found Hell mode to be more annoying then difficult difficult.

#

I'll stick with normal (and higher heat).

grand bay
#

its probably just a terrible start but after you get to like 10k+ darkness and a few other upgrades its not much worse?

tiny grove
#

oh wow hell mode is rough af πŸ˜„
@grand bay Oh dear. ||I ended up doing 120 darkness Hades fight in Hell mode, I did 10% phase 1 in 1 min||

grand bay
#

hell mode is literally available the moment you click play game bro are you serious

next anchor
#

Anyone else think we could have a rogue like with Norse mythology themes next?

tiny grove
#

Then I died

flat vapor
#

hell mode is purely front-loaded, early-game difficulty

tiny grove
#

PL is a real thing tho

cedar remnant
#

@hard pier which daedalus stuff do I want?

flat vapor
#

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

hard pier
#

Whatever catches your fancy, I guess

#

I'd personally avoid explosive shot tho

cedar remnant
#

k so nothing specific for the dio cast

grand bay
#

yeah starting over kinda sucks tbh ;x

hard pier
#

Do whatever, Experiment. I can't guide you through learning the game bro xD

#

Flame wheels eat my hp so easily

hard pier
#

You mean || the exploding carriages on Elysium?||

dark scroll
#

Biggest part is trying not to be greedy to kill em.

next anchor
#

Yes

#

The ones operated by cats

dark scroll
#

Use terrain.

hard pier
#

I hate those with any weapon that isn't the Aegis

#

Or Rail

#

Or Bow

#

Or Spear

#

Uh

cedar remnant
#

bad for close range stuff

hard pier
#

Yeah, that

flat vapor
#

the easiest thing to do is just kite them into walls/pillars/borders

tiny grove
#

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

next anchor
#

Unless I have deflect they always hurt

cedar remnant

The run I'm on is not going as well as the one I got him to ||phase 2|| on

next anchor

No they don't

tiny grove
#

btw cats only meow because they love us, they growl at challenger cats

#

meow meow because they treat us like momma/papa cat

cedar remnant
#

I think the orange horn hydra's the easiest

crisp ocean
#

I hate the ones that just all they do is slam

cedar remnant
#

yeah the pink and blue

#

they're the worst

crisp ocean
#

I like the pink ones if you have divine dash

#

The fire ones suck too

agile ingot
#

Anyone know if there has been any word on when the Switch version is getting the patch, if ever, yet?

crisp ocean
#

I didn't even know there was a switch version

#

What'll they think of next ? Hades VR?

#

Lol

@agile ingot it should be soonβ€”they were planning by the end of October but ran into some delays. No set date that I know of yet though

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

crisp ocean
#

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

@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?

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

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.

  1. 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 :/

rose nexus
#

OH its

#

sorry i read all of that wrong

brisk trail
#

Ya that fits very well in hades discussion

autumn rose
#

ok, i'll leave it here

rose nexus
#

i dash spam constantly , especially with poseidon boons

#

its like muscle memory with a controller

brisk trail
#

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

quaint hatch
#

You can do both at the the same time

the main drawback to dash attacking is that you lose your i-frames once you attack

#

Yeah Athena dash

@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.

rose nexus
#

i will hand them my entire wallet whenever they decide to do something

autumn rose
#
  1. 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.
rough token
#

at this point, they might follow posted feedback but their focus is on finishing up the game polish

autumn rose
#

w8, you mean they aren't going to change anything anymore? : O

quiet gull
#

Development has finished, yes

brisk trail
#

They'll probably do more small updates to balance the game but that's about it

quiet gull
#

But some balance changes still come through

hard pier
#

It's a 1.0 release, there won't be any substantial changes after that

rose nexus
#

i use to spam bull rush when i first started playing , but my gameplay has changed a lot since then

hard pier
#

This isn't a live service game

#

Bull Rush is still useful though, to be fair

quaint hatch
#

It's 180Β°

rough token
#

ish, you can still be hit from a front angle

quiet gull
#

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

rough token
#

if it's from outside of the width

quaint hatch
#

Are you seriously trying to prove that shield is op?

#

Lol nice

autumn rose
#

i'm talking about moderate heat plays as i described above

quaint hatch
#

I like shield as much as the next guy

#

Oh ok

autumn rose
#

i didn't yet beat game with 32, so i would know how to do that

quiet gull
#

How do you feel about Eris rail, m8

quaint hatch
#

Other playstyles yield more fps

optimal DPS
Not really something I care about so far

quaint hatch
#

With shield

rose nexus
#

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

autumn rose
#

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.

quiet gull
#

I have a hard time thinking shield is too powerful given everything else going on

#

If anything I wish they'd buff spear more

hard pier
#

It depends on the aspects, I'd say

rose nexus
#

spear with zeus buffs is 😳

quaint hatch

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

quaint hatch

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.

#

But whataboutism doesn't change anything

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?

Hmm

quaint hatch
#

Same argument

autumn rose
#

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

autumn rose
#

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

not really, I argue that cooldown even on single dash is too low

Some even hate the ranged ones

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

rose nexus
#

the timer oof

dark scroll
#

Just saw the Hermes Cup speedrunners.

#

14-17 min runs each time.

#

depending on weapons.

hard pier
#

Interestingly enough, I've been doing better ever since I've switched to that way more aggressive playstyle

quaint hatch
#

Welcome lol

hard pier
#

By best run was 21 minutes

quaint hatch
#

Every weapon is a melee weapon

heavy breach
#

With my aim, every weapon is a melee weapon

hard pier
#

Still havent beaten the game with ||exagryph|| even tho I have the "op" aspect

#

It really isn't for me, somehow

heavy breach
#

||exagryph|| is weird man

quaint hatch
#

It's only weird if you play on controller and don't have your reload on L

heavy breach
#

I much prefer the playstyle you have with the ||fists|| or sword

#

Game feels a lot more "zigzaggy" that way

hard pier
#

If I get frustrated with myself I just bust out the Hera bow with Dionysus for a feelgood run

sly prairie
#

I really love the ||rail||

#

It's my favorite of them, as you can see in the victory I just posted lol

heavy breach
#

idk dude

hard pier
#

Personal Preference

heavy breach
#

With the ||gun||, game feels slower somehow

#

I kill things slower, I don't have to dodge as often as with a melee weapon

quaint hatch
#

Play eris with rockets

dark scroll
#

Mostly yea, though Eris is the aspect with the fastest speedrunners time i think

quaint hatch
#

That's the fastest the game will feel lol

sly prairie
#

I always dodge a lot, even with melee stuff

heavy breach
#

Oof, rockets are extremely pog yeah

cosmic stone
#

My best run is 15 minutes

#

😎

sly prairie
#

I haven't gotten sub-20 yet

cosmic stone
#

I did it using Achilles spear bc I built differently

hard pier
#

Ugh, streamer slang

heavy breach
#

||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

hard pier
#

That's what the rocket hammer is for

quaint hatch
#

My best is only 18 unfortunately

heavy breach
#

ye, but can't rely on it y'know

sly prairie
#

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

heavy breach
#

sub 20, one of these days

sly prairie
#

Not just streamers πŸ™‚

hard pier
#

I meant pog, but ok

sly prairie
#

oh

#

I say pog too πŸ˜‚

#

Sorry tho

heavy breach
#

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?

heavy breach
#

@pearl fractal ||you know that contract thing at when you start a run?||

hard pier
#

||You get blood whenever you beat Tartarus for the first time with a particular weapon||

quaint hatch
#

You only get bounties on each level once

#

Then you have to raise difficulty

quiet gull
#

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
#

@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||

quiet gull
#

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

pearl fractal
#

Oh welp

quiet gull
#

Oh, you havent finished the game yet?

dark scroll
#

For each weapon.

quiet gull
#

Yeah, bounties are for each weapon

dark scroll
#

Seperatly.

heavy breach
#

imagine if bounties were RNG

brisk trail
#

Stop

pearl fractal
#

I initially thought bounties were RNG

#

Alright, thanks for informing me

hard pier
#

They aren't

#

Beating redacted or Tartarus with a weapon for the first time gives you blood, repeating throughout the giher difficulties

brisk trail
#

That's what the funny checbox is for on the map

languid wing
#

Hell mode starts you out with that thing

#

|| the pact of punishment ||

pearl fractal
#

That's what the funny checbox is for on the map
@brisk trail Yeah I noticed that during those short little inbetween-level sections

cosmic stone
#

Hell mode is easier than the normal mode

#

But the game makes it out to be harder???

pearl fractal
#

I haven't tried Hell Mode so I can't really say for sure

languid wing
#

Hell mode is harder, technically

cosmic stone
#

Nope since you can farm Titan blood early game

quaint hatch
#

You can never farm bounties

#

"farm"

#

Well broker ik

#

But that's horribly inefficient

pearl fractal
#

Anyways what're y'all's opinion of Aspect of Poseidon for the Stygian Blade

quaint hatch
#

And time wasting

#

Good

languid wing
#

I mean you only get to alter that if you beat || hades || regardless

quaint hatch
#

Very nice

cosmic stone
#

You get Titan blood on sword heat 1 get Titan blood again then move on to the next weapon

heavy breach
#

Poseidon sword fun

cosmic stone
#

You literally only need to beat Meg

heavy breach
#

Needs a good cast boon to be worth it of course, which is a big knock for me

languid wing
#

Yeah but it is technically harder than usual

pearl fractal
#

Well broker ik
@quaint hatch I only ever do business with the Broker if I want nectar to simp to a character lmao

languid wing
#

You can say it’s faster but not easier

cosmic stone
#

Well it’s not like you NEED to turn up the heat

#

So it’s more beneficial then harder

languid wing
#

You are forced to heat 5 on the get go

heavy breach
#

also, 5 heat is pretty alright

pearl fractal
#

Turning up the heat let's you reap in higher rewards during play right?

heavy breach
#

even without all of the mirror stuff

#

Nope, not if you turn it up more than necessary

quaint hatch
#

It's not more beneficial lol

heavy breach
#

The only thing heat does for reward is let you get the bounties with each weapon again

cosmic stone
#

Wait rlly?

languid wing
#

Yeah. You can’t farm bounties

quaint hatch
#

Grinding out bounties on low heat will just burn you out on the game faster

#

As I said

quiet gull
#

Going higher than necessary isnt more beneficial, no

cosmic stone
#

Well I wasn’t told that I thought the hell mode ||pact of punishment|| was optional

quiet gull
#

I did it thought cause I didnt want to turn EM4 off

pearl fractal
#

Farming in a game like Hades sounds like it could be really repetitive imo

cosmic stone
#

I thought you could avoid the ||pact|| in it

quiet gull
#

Well I wasn’t told that I thought the hell mode ||pact of punishment|| was optional
@cosmic stone It isnt

quaint hatch
#

Why would the whole pact change with hell mode

pearl fractal
#

I mean farming in any game is repetitive lmao

quaint hatch
#

It's the base of the game

languid wing
#

It isn’t. It’s forced with arguably some of the worst heat options

heavy breach
#

oh, you can't even pick the options?

quaint hatch
#

Yeah but farming in other games should usually yield more beneficial rewards

cosmic stone
#

Oh god do you have to start the game with hard labour??

languid wing
#

Yeah you are locked out on 5 heat with predetermined options

#

Yeah and the one that reduces healing

cosmic stone
#

That would make early meg fight a lot harder for newbies

heavy breach
#

that's a bit oof

languid wing
#

With more enemy hp

#

And no invulnerability timer

cosmic stone
#

Oh god it picks the worst ones

languid wing
#

And they do more dmg

cosmic stone
#

WAIT IT HAS 9 TIMER???

#

When you first start???

languid wing
#

No invulnerability timer

heavy breach
#

dude, they put both more damage and less healing?

#

oof

cosmic stone
#

Like that’s easy late game but when you start

#

Oh

languid wing
#

Normal zagreus has an invulnerability timer in between high bursts of dmg

cosmic stone
#

So you’re telling me the game does: More damage for enemies less healing for you more health for enemies and invulnerability timber

#

Timer*

languid wing
#

Yes

heavy breach
#

that's fair enough, if you're playing Hell mode, you hopefully shouldn't need the I-frames

cosmic stone
#

Bruh

#

Imagine using god mode

languid wing
#

Iirc there’s one more but I forgot

cosmic stone
#

Bleugh

heavy breach
#

God mode is good

cosmic stone
#

The only god mode id accept is trying to get the 3rd Skelly trophy but even that

heavy breach
#

Does God mode only affect the contract?

cosmic stone
#

It affects the whole game

#

Bruh if you can’t beat the game without god mode idk what to say

heavy breach
#

I keep mixing it up

#

I mean Hell mode

quaint wind
#

no need to be rude

#

players play in the way that suits them and there's nothing wrong with that

cosmic stone
#

Okay I apologise

quiet gull
#

Quite a few people have come here with god mode over 50% and trouble beating the game

quaint wind
#

thanks

heavy breach
#

ok, I looked it up and Hell mode only affects the contract

quaint hatch
#

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

heavy breach
cosmic stone
quaint wind
heavy breach
#

next person to bouldy emote is stinky

dark scroll
#

I'd have a problem with godmode if you turn it on after dieing 1-5 times.

languid wing
#

Imagine if they added an achievement where you have to defeat the game on hell mode in your first run with zagreus

brisk trail
#

I will be elitist against those who don't pet the dog evrytime

dark scroll
#

Ofc, he's a good boy.

quaint hatch
#

Well that makes sense

cosmic stone
#

How is the petting dog 15 times achievement so rare?

tepid plover
#

Cause people are mean

cosmic stone
#

Like more people have escaped ||Elysium|| then petted the dog 15 times

faint flume
#

people are terrible

#

I have given the dog hard liquor but better too many times probably

heavy breach
#

what's worse though, forgetting to pet cerb

#

or only doing it for the chieve

faint flume
#

Cerb, absolutely Z O I N K E D

brisk trail
#

Both are mega bad

#

After a certain treshold it's all the same

heavy breach
#

lesser, greater, evil is evil

faint flume
#

ok but imagine

#

not even forgetting to pet the dog

#

but not doing it on purpose

heavy breach
quaint hatch
#

I don't want to

tribal willow
#

the animation takes too long

ornate summit
#

Is there even anything in-game behind petting Cerberus enough times?

tepid plover
#

Wow

#

What am I reading

heavy breach
#

somebody's going straight to tartarus

tepid plover
#

Such hatred

heavy breach
#

if you don't pet the dog enough you get the bad ending /s

tribal willow
#

spoiler question

quaint hatch
#

the animation takes too long
@tribal willow honestly Frick you

ornate summit
#

Probably dialogue/final affection actually

tribal willow
#

how much is there left to do after

quaint hatch

Take your time
