#

You have rupture?

thick crypt
#

second one

#

the magnetic ones

stone pebble
#

||Talos||, got it

austere jacinth
#

||She doesn't want to date you!|| xD

stone pebble
#

I feel like you should got for rolling knuckle

#

because you can just pull them back into your combo

thick crypt
#

yea and i have dash strike (+900% armor dmg in dash)

stone pebble
#

If you get the chance, replace the poseidon boon with dionysus

thick crypt
#

the attack one u mean=

stone pebble
#

yeah

next sphinx
#

Dash-strike might be better then, 60 percent increase is better than 90 damage flat

thick crypt
#

aight, thanks yall

stone pebble
#

no problem bro

next sphinx
#

No problem, have fun deleting everything! shadesmile

stone pebble
#

Builds and combat might be the next best place though

#

I mean

#

its a hades discussion

#

so..

#

does he really have to?

next sphinx
#

I don’t know, are you disagreeing with yourself?

austere jacinth
#

I don't mind. Nice to see enthusiasm. We were all just enthusing about romantic options anyway xDD

next sphinx
#

||It was so bittersweet and funny when Than first appeared, so hurt, with Zagreus completely oblivious.

Thanatos: Heart eyes, mf!

Zag: Why are you yelling at me??||

stone pebble
#

Oh man, I am

austere jacinth
#

||He's so bitter at the start! Meg too. But Than is just so passive-aggressive with that goodbye line.|| xDD

#

||Awkward Than and his feelings||

next sphinx
#

||I bet Than realized his feelings a while before and just looked at them and said “that seems unproductive” aaaand, REPRESS||

austere jacinth
#

||I doubt he recognised them for what they were so much as 'being around him makes me feel weird. I'm not going to think about that ever'.||

next sphinx
#

||”That sounds like a Me problem”||

stone pebble
#

I don't think you guys have to censor everything

#

as long as you dont mention the persons name

blazing tree
#

i am new here why so many black bars

austere jacinth
#

||If you romance Meg first, Than talks about how she encouraged him to pursue Zag. There's a later scene where Zag comes across Than and Meg 'comparing notes'. I wish we got to see those scenes in full.||

#

Black bars are spoiler-stuff, Vand

#

You click on them and the text shows itself. Kelsey and I were discussing some of the romantic stuff in the game ^^

next sphinx
#

I mean, anyone new to the game could probably put it together. I’d like for them to be able to experience the characters at whatever pace they wish

stone pebble
#

kinda hot dontcha think?

#

How considerate of you

#

kudos

next sphinx
#

Of course going in I was slightly spoiled (by my own choice) because when I first heard about the game I said ||”Ooh, how queer is it?” and the answer was “Very” so I was delighted||

stone pebble
#

same

#

I know the ending to skellys legacy

#

but its not about the point

#

its about the journey

austere jacinth
#

I mean, that doesn't need a bar. Hades is very, very bi.

next sphinx
#

I’m excited about that one! I still haven’t uncovered all his secrets

austere jacinth
#

It'd be weird if bi wasn't the default in a game about Greek myths xD

next sphinx
#

That’s true, I mean, it’s a big selling point

austere jacinth
#

I was thrilled that ||you can get into a wholesome-yet-kinky poly relationship|| with great writing and characterisation. I can't actually think of another game where you can do that?

ornate summit
#

Just be thankful a certain part got toned down

stone pebble
#

When I heard the ||WHIP from Megs romance scene|| I'ma be honest, I got kinda turned on

next sphinx
#

This might be one of the first, or at least the first one that’s not like a visual novel? I can’t think of many ||poly|| visual novel style games either, though

austere jacinth
#

It's in the ||threesome|| too. Just ||with more giggling from everyone.||

stone pebble
#

THATS A SCENE?

austere jacinth
#

Yeah

stone pebble
#

OK ||THANATOS||, HERE I COME

austere jacinth
#

It took me FOREVER to get.

#

But I got it.

wicked lagoon
#

but ||Zag and Than grew up together, they're like brothers||, sounds a bit awkward to romance him

austere jacinth
#

And I was delighted. Zag is all ||If this is a dream, I will be very mad|| about it.

stone pebble
#

true

#

But

wicked lagoon
#

then again ||Dusa's path is a romance without any choice and that one is even worse||, that character blows

stone pebble
#

they arent related in any sort

austere jacinth
#

DTG ||Nyx raised Meg, Zag and Than. But at different times. None of them grew up together.||

carmine ravine
#

if we can romance than whom we grew up with, why cant i romance artemis

austere jacinth
#

We didn't grow up with Than

wicked lagoon
#

I am pretty sure there is dialogue about that

austere jacinth
#

In the scene I mentioned ||Meg states that she's known Than longer than Zag's been alive.||

wicked lagoon
#

mhhh I must misremember then

carmine ravine
#

so zag is romancing very old people basically

stone pebble
#

hot

next sphinx
#

Yup, Nyx has been a mother and mother like figure to many for maaaany years

austere jacinth
#

We don't actually know how old he is either. Just... younger than them.

wicked lagoon
#

they're gods, age isn't relevant unless it's aeons

stone pebble
#

Wait

#

So why can

#

Why can't I romance Nyx then?

carmine ravine
#

virgin goddess for ages

stone pebble
#

NIGHT MOMMY

vernal obsidian
#

Well nice @woeful olive

austere jacinth
#

Also, Artemis is gay, Alpha. Nyx has ||Ares|| xD

stone pebble
#

DAMNIT

carmine ravine
#

no, artemis has a partner

austere jacinth
#

Callisto.

stone pebble
#

DAMNIT 2x

austere jacinth
#

Who is a female nymph.

carmine ravine
#

so i do have a chance

stone pebble
#

DAMNIT 3x

austere jacinth
#

Zag is not a female nymph.

#

So no.

carmine ravine
#

or is he

wicked lagoon
#

wait when does it say that Artemis is into Callisto

carmine ravine
#

its a partner

stone pebble
#

She shared a bottle of nectar with her, so..

wicked lagoon
#

the way she gets nagged by her relatives, she just seems like she can't be bothered

austere jacinth
#

He is not. But I'd be up for a wild-hunt style game with Callisto as protag, Artie as love interest and Apollo as support.

carmine ravine
#

ye, but artemis is more interested in archilles tbh

wicked lagoon
#

yea and we shared a bottle of ambrosia with the dog

stone pebble
#

truetrue

#

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ABOUT THE DOG HUH?

wicked lagoon
#

I don't see Zag romancing Cerberus any time though

next sphinx
#

I don’t know that Artemis is romantically interested in Achilles, she’s just a big fan

austere jacinth
#

Artemis admires Achilles's strength, but it's not romantic. She makes several statements during the game regarding how Zag should 'leave the worship of her to the nymphs' xDD

carmine ravine
#

u have a nectar with a rock, so irelevant

wicked lagoon
#

yea this seems like fanfic to me

#

horny police stop the madness

rancid ember
#

So I'm super late but ||YO IS THERE ACTUALLY A POLY RELATIONSHIP IN THIS GAME??? ||

carmine ravine
#

i wont stop until aretemis romance become a reality

austere jacinth
#

||YES AND IT'S AWESOME!||

next sphinx
#

||YES HEALTHY POLY FTW||

austere jacinth
#

Artemis just isn't into Zag, Alpha. We need a spinoff game about nymphs for her romance. xD

rancid ember
#

*Oh hell yes!

#

(god the autocensor drives me nuts lol I keep running headlong into it)

austere jacinth
#

I've made that mistake too, Seian xDD

carmine ravine
#

there is indication of affection on zag during aphro/artemis duo interactions

stone pebble
#

DATING DLC

#

WHERE

carmine ravine
#

and aphro directly

rancid ember
#

Like, is there some kind of fear that overcontrolling parents will try to boycott the game/discord/company if people are allowed to curse or something? XD

next sphinx
#

Yeah but it’s hard to say whether Aphrodite is just bugging Artemis in a way that will drive her the most crazy

#

or being sincere

stone pebble
#

Technically you arent related to aphrodite or artemis

#

because ||Demeter|| is you grandmother

austere jacinth
#

You are to Artie

carmine ravine
#

if u going against artemis in trials, she said, i thought we have.. why do i even bother with a half god

austere jacinth
#

Artie is the daughter of your dad's brother. She's your cousin, dude.

stone pebble
#

And she's Zeus FOSTER sister

austere jacinth
#

She's related through the father's side, not the mother's

next sphinx
#

It’s just a courtesy, for people who don’t mind swearing they just have to be mindful of it, but it makes it a comfortable place for people who do mind it

stone pebble
#

okay shadeohboy

austere jacinth
#

Aphro is... she's got a weird origin. Foam baby.

carmine ravine
#

ares x aphro is real technically

rancid ember
#

I dunno, literally every other online space I'm in people swear casually so it seems weird to me ^^; It is what it is though

next sphinx
#

(I don’t mind swearing at all btw, I just am used to censoring myself because I live with kids and see my grandparents often)

rancid ember
#

...lol imagining getting ares in a jealous rage against you. You'd be kind of screwed

next sphinx
#

Aren’t Aphrodite and Dionysus married in the myths?

austere jacinth
#

No, Dio marries Ariadne.

stone pebble
#

Aphrodite is married to everyone in the myths

austere jacinth
#

And Aphro is married off to Heph, but continues her relationship with Ares (and others, including Dio).

next sphinx
#

Oh right, Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus

austere jacinth
#

Ares actually seems to have great affection for her in a lot of myths. And vice-versa.

carmine ravine
#

clearly aphro x everyone except heph is the way to go

next sphinx
#

I guess he didn’t make the cut xD

austere jacinth
#

I do love Ares.

#

And I'm so glad he's not just 'mindless evil killer' in Hades. SO GLAD. I am sick of Evil!Ares. xD

next sphinx
#

He’s so hot but then I remember he’s like “war and genocide, rah rah rah” so ehhh, thanks for the boons BYYYYE

stone pebble
#

"KILL THEM ALL, DO IT PLEASE" -Ares, probably

carmine ravine
#

i mean ares does implied to become obsesssed with violence and treachery in the game

austere jacinth
#

He's less 'war and genocide' and more 'war for passion'. When he takes to the battlefield personally, it's usually down to family. He killed Poseidon's son, who assaulted his daughter, and was put on trial for it.

stone pebble
#

"Is war not a one to feast of?" -Ares to Dionysus

austere jacinth
#

He's also the patron of warrior women.

stone pebble
#

Isn't that the amazons

rancid ember
#

Oh HELL YES I managed to beat ||Alecto|| without using a death defiance <3 I think this is the first time!

austere jacinth
#

Yep, Ares is their patron, GN

rancid ember
#

Or

#

maybe second?

#

not sure

stone pebble
#

Alecto ruff

rancid ember
#

Either way I haven't done it much lol

next sphinx
#

Yeah I’m glad that he’s portrayed with nuance in this game

austere jacinth
#

DC made Ares into Wonder Woman's archvillain and I will forever have a bit of salt about that xDD

carmine ravine
#

alecto dont restraint you in a small room like tisiphone at least

stone pebble
#

Tis is my favorite

#

she cute

next sphinx
#

Congrats, Seian!

rancid ember
#

Alecto doesn't seem much worse than the other Furies tbh. Tisiphone seems like the nastiest of them

stone pebble
#

let me romance TIS

carmine ravine
#

she can only say two words

stone pebble
#

LET ME ROMANCE ALL OF THE FURY SISTERS

next sphinx
#

YES Zag’s progression with Tis is so sweet, I’m not certain how she feels about him but like, my heart is so warm thinking about them

stone pebble
#

@carmine ravine ||I'm currently teaching her how to say 'happy'||

rancid ember
#

"Murderer. Murder. Murderrerrrr~" she said lovingly, as she stabbed me once again, and I knew our time was over for now... but I would meet her again soon, my one and only love.

austere jacinth
#

Ares is also the most openly respectful of the Chthonic gods (aside from maybe Hermes). He's the only one who treats Than with any sort of respect, and there's the ||mini-arc with Nyx too||.

stone pebble
#

How about dionysus

#

they're mates!

austere jacinth
#

Tis is the easiest sister to beat... But she's somehow so sweet.

carmine ravine
#

"Murderer. Murder. Murderrerrrr~" she said lovingly, as she stabbed me once again, and I knew our time was over for now... but I would meet her again soon, my one and only love.
@rancid ember u rly love that fanfic of urs dont you

#

meg is the easiest

austere jacinth
#

Dio is still a bit 'eh' about some Chthonic gods. He thinks that Than is a total mood-killer at parties. xD

stone pebble
#

OHHH

#

I thought you meant towards zagreus

#

Hades hates all of the Olympian gods, besides Hermes, to which he has no opinion towards

austere jacinth
#

Nah, to the Underworld. Most Olympians view it as gloomy, unsavory or just 'lesser', and those who inhabit it as similar.

#

Hades is not allowed to hate Hermes because firstly, Hermes is a darn psychopomp, and secondly, Charon forbids it.

next sphinx
#

Basically Hermes minds his own business and Hades likes that so he can stay

austere jacinth
#

Hermes is all up in Hades's business tbh

#

He delivers oodles of dead spirits to Charon.

stone pebble
#

Can Charon beat Hades? ||Not trying to hint anything||

next sphinx
#

Yeah but he doesn’t start anything, at least in this particular narrative

austere jacinth
#

Hades needs Charon for things to function as he wishes them to. Fighting Charon would be an act of self-sabotage for Hades.

stone pebble
#

" Charon accepts either obol or blood " -Thanatos

next sphinx
#

||Finally got two wins for the “two wins in a row” quest with him today, now I don’t have to go into every shop||

austere jacinth
#

As much as I love Ares in this game, Hermes is still my top favourite Olympian. His ||relationship to Charon|| is great fun, and it's nice to see a representation where he's more than just 'The Messenger'.

stone pebble
#

||" If you take whats his without paying the price, you're going to pay with your blood "|| -Thanatos

carmine ravine
#

u can call it, a blood price, wink wink

stone pebble
#

These shade emotes are my most favorite thing

carmine ravine
#

no im just imagining than saying that, while nodding to the camera

next sphinx
#

I love that the Chef seems to have a crush on Zag, that’s so cute

stone pebble
#

why tho

carmine ravine
#

u just want to ship zag with every moving thing

stone pebble
#

Ship Chef with Wretched Broker

next sphinx
#

Doesn’t everyone who’s enjoying this game?

stone pebble
#

true honestly

carmine ravine
#

why would i ship zag with a rock

stone pebble
#

Bouldy is crying bouldy

austere jacinth
#

I like the relationship you have if you follow all routes to the end... I want more relationships to counsel though.

stone pebble
#

gahhh

#

this game is perfect as it is

#

but what if it was MORE PERFECT

austere jacinth
#

It is. I just want MORE because I am greedy.

next sphinx
#

Not enough drama in the underworld for you? You could definitely write and or read some fic, I bet there’s already Hades stuff on Ao3

stone pebble
#

but heres the thing

#

ITS NOT CANON

next sphinx
#

The best fic comes from canon that could just use a liiiittle more details

brisk trail
#

I don't know why every single Fandom want to ship everyone with everyone

#

That's boring

carmine ravine
#

its not uncommon for greek myths to get adapted into other works, so searching for hades videogame related stuff is fairly harder since there's early fandoms that are released earlier

faint flume
#

nearly got all ||three relationships, just need to wait for RNG to do it's thing for Hypnos and Thanatos||

stone pebble
#

Its like when ||Dionysus said he's connected by Zagreus and when Zagreus said he was ripped to shreds by the titans|| it's true in the myths, but not necessarily canon

next sphinx
#

Different people ship different characters, and they do it because they don’t find it boring, I don’t really know what to tell you

stone pebble
#

in the Hades universe at least

carmine ravine
#

haha totally not bcoz they are bored ||like the onceler fandom||

thick crypt
stone pebble
#

damn

stone pebble
#

I had that same encounter before

thick crypt
#

first time with bow

#

first win with bow

carmine ravine
#

come on my guy, that link is long@next sphinx

next sphinx
#

Nice one Tazz!

thick crypt
#

bow is weird tho

next sphinx
#

Yup, it is

thick crypt
#

not my fav

#

its def a good boss killer

#

i used the second aspect

#

the one with homing

austere jacinth
#

I like the canon relationships in Hades an awful lot. One pairing I like sits on the edge of canon, but my OT3 is the expected.

next sphinx
#

Chiron is definitely my favourite

faint flume
#

chiron is fun but I just had my first poseidon sword run and that is f u n

carmine ravine
#

i prefer hidden bow than chiron honestly

next sphinx
#

I don’t really feel the need to ship anyone besides the canon relationships for this one because they’re plenty satisfying, ||unless there’s Nyx/Persephone stuff because I’d be all about that||

thick crypt
#

i havent unlocked everything yet soo

stone pebble
#

yeah its just the bow, but better

#

HADES AND ||PERSEPHONE|| ARE MARRIED YOU SICKO

austere jacinth
#

I like ||Charon/Hermes|| and that's the one on the edge of canon. ||Nyx/Persephone|| is great though.

brisk trail
#

I have nothing against people who ship characters but in particular situations it is really embarrassing to see how much it is weird

carmine ravine
#

they dont really care about that, all matter is their headcanon

austere jacinth
#

Aphrodite and Hephaestus are married... doesn't stop Aphro. Oh and Dio has a wife but still has... lively celebrations with multiple people -coughs-

stone pebble
#

Oh man

#

good one stranger

next sphinx
#

Wow it’s like I enjoy poly relationships or something, wild

faint flume
#

Dio's wife is Asterius's sister

austere jacinth
#

And the sister of Theseus's wife.

brisk trail
#

For exemple in the Yakuza game, there's some people who ship the main character with his brother, and I think that's kinda problematic, when it gets so weird it ruins the game

faint flume
#

which is to say everyone even remotely connected to the pantheon in any way can draw their family tree back to the Olympians

austere jacinth
#

All stems from Chaos in the end.

faint flume
#

Zeus did a lot of the heavy lifting as well for that

#

and Chaos isn't an Olympian

next sphinx
#

Yeah I don’t like incest ships

austere jacinth
#

That's not really my jam either. But I do love healthy polyships and they're so rare T.T

faint flume
#

I don't either but they do make sense canonically unfortunately

#

we should change the subject

brisk trail
#

I just dislike it when the ship is not appropriate with the actual lore of the game

next sphinx
#

Yes, you do seem to dehumanize shippers a lot

carmine ravine
#

how is it not human

austere jacinth
#

I'm asexual. I just like seeing a variety of dynamics and fun characters, so I ship when I ship -shrugs-

brisk trail
#

being horny isn't a crime tho

carmine ravine
#

ye

next sphinx
#

You keep making super judgey remarks about people who ship like that don’t use logic or reasoning and are just horny all the time

carmine ravine
#

welp, hit them where it hurts i guess, so im sorry

next sphinx
#

I’m not hurt, I don’t know you so your low opinion of me and other people doesn’t really affect me. It’s just shortsighted of you.

carmine ravine
#

sure mate

thick crypt
brisk trail
#

I think "perpetual" was a humorous term

austere jacinth
#

I'm never horny, due to being asexual... but I am all over ||ThanZagMeg and their kinky polyship.||

brisk trail
#

Don't take it too seriously

next sphinx
#

Yes it does, Tazz

carmine ravine
#

dun worry, shes not hurt allegedly

thick crypt
#

nice, im on magnetic knuckles again, special is dio, normal is demeter... 😛

carmine ravine
#

talos is nice yeah

#

i prefer talos special with poseidon but thats me

next sphinx
#

That’s that goooood build synergy

thick crypt
#

i keep forgetting to give poseidon a nectar

fringe garnet
thick crypt
#

funny tho kelsey, thats my 3rd boon i got (first was dio special, second dementer main, then that one

carmine ravine
#

only 175 h on FNV? a vanilla user i see

next sphinx
#

Its super addictive gameplay

crude onyx
#

I love knuckles with dio attack and either Aphrodite or Demeter on dash

#

Shreds stuff like you wouldn’t believe with privileged

fringe garnet
#

only 175 h on FNV? a vanilla user i see
@carmine ravine wrong - that's Ultimate Edition. it doesn't track the many, many hours I spent on the original edition OR the ~60-80 hours I spent ||on the version i pirated in college b/c i was too poor to buy games||

carmine ravine
#

same, illegal life

next sphinx
#

I often aim for Poseidon and Dio at the start because their duo boon is the BEST, especially if you can get it early

woeful olive
#

Did someone @ everyone?

#

Cos I got pinged for some reason

brisk trail
#

uh oh

carmine ravine
#

@woeful olive

next sphinx
#

Not in here recently, that’s strange

woeful olive
#

Don’t think it was recently lol, just woke up

carmine ravine
#

its all just a dream woOoOoO

brisk trail
next sphinx
#

Are you sure it was for this server?

fringe garnet
#

I often aim for Poseidon and Dio at the start because their duo boon is the BEST, especially if you can get it early
@next sphinx yes!!! also, pos + aphro

carmine ravine
#

poseidon call + smoldering air for ez boss cheese

next sphinx
#

I haven’t gotten smoldering air yet, I’ll give it a try

brisk trail
#

I wonder if you got smouldering air and the hermes god gauge fill how much of the time you'd spend being invincible with poseidon call

carmine ravine
#

no, the gauge will go down

faint flume
#

or athena for that matter

#

it does go down but you can get it back very quickly as well

#

just avoid enemies until you have invincibility lmao

brisk trail
#

It goes down?!

carmine ravine
#

yes, when using duration based calls, the gauge goes down, so u cant fill it uo while using it

brisk trail
#

:o

halcyon mauve
#

Hmm Trippy Flare & Trippy Shot are same, right?

red tiger
#

hey yall so

brisk trail
#

I think trippy flare is the ||hidden shield aspects version||

red tiger
#

I beat hades once so far, but I still don't know what ambrosia even does

#

When will I find out what that does

carmine ravine
#

oh boy thats a spoiler

red tiger
#

Is it?

brisk trail
#

When you read the description

carmine ravine
#

can you tag it, the final boss name

red tiger
#

So...not until the epilogue?

#

I guess I'm asking how many times do I have to beat hades for these things to be useful

stone pebble
#

aah

carmine ravine
#

goddammit

red tiger
#

And should I not be trading them with the wretched broker

stone pebble
#

beep

#

#

whats up

stone pebble
#

spoilers

red tiger
#

I don't think I said a spoiler?

brisk trail
#

You're giving away the final boss

red tiger
#

How is saying the final boss is hades a spoiler

carmine ravine
#

can you read

red tiger
#

Its the name of the game

brisk trail
#

Because it's a spoiler

red tiger
#

Obviously you're going to fight hades at some point

stone pebble
#

That's literally the point

#

BEEP

red tiger
#

What?!?!

brisk trail
#

And repeating it to be cheeky might as well just got a mod in here

halcyon mauve
#

lol I read that as they beat the game Hades

stone pebble
#

yeah

#

Just

red tiger
#

How is it not insanely obvious?

stone pebble
#

trust me on that

mellow temple
#

use these to tag spoilers -> ||

carmine ravine
#

just spoiler tag it, or i just call a mod @red tiger

red tiger
#

I would tag spoiler if I had spoiled anything...

stone pebble
#

Hades is his dad, its not obvious

red tiger
#

What!?!??!

brisk trail
#

It's rules of the server

stone pebble
#

Who would fight your dad

brisk trail
#

I would @stone pebble

red tiger
#

Because he's keeping him there..

stone pebble
#

ok

red tiger
#

He's not letting him leave

stone pebble
#

But who knows how or when or even why he's doing htat

carmine ravine
#

just dont say the final boss name again without a spoiler tag man, its not cool

stone pebble
#

||fighting hades that is||

red tiger
#

But...its the name of the game?

stone pebble
#

So??

red tiger
#

What?!?!

#

What do you mean so?

thick crypt
#

still a spoiler

stone pebble
#

What if the game was called Zeus

red tiger
#

How?!

faint flume
#

people don't know it's them

red tiger
#

The game is not called zeus

carmine ravine
#

this guy rly want to die on this hill

faint flume

red tiger

Does no one realize how insane it is to say that's a spoiler?

Just me?

carmine ravine

Yep

So, you guys...got to the final boss

Have you guys ever played the game?

Yes it is because it makes no sense

Everyones entitled to their opinion

I'll spoiler tag it in the future sure

stone pebble
#

So stfu

red tiger
#

But I feel like you guys haven't played the game for even a few minutes

stone pebble
#

Oh

#

you wanna see my play record?

brisk trail
#

The mods decided it was a rule, we're sorry that not everyone could divine the end twist of the game

stone pebble
#

Do you?

red tiger
#

TAHTS A TWIST!?!?

#

HOW IS THAT A TWIST

stone pebble
#

WHY WOULD YOU EXPECT ||YOUR FATHER AT THE SURFACE||

brisk trail
#

Because you were allowed to go the entire game without him interfering and he was at the end

red tiger
#

||BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE KEEPING YOU THERE. THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF THE GAME IS TO ESCAPE TO THE SURFACE||

brisk trail
#

Which he allows

carmine ravine
#

listen, whther u like it or not, its a predetermined rule in the server, see if the mods can help you with what u want without getting warned @red tiger

red tiger
#

not really?

stone pebble
#

God, this guys actually not shutting up, I know some people are entilted, but this guys a karen

brisk trail
#

Completely really

red tiger
#

greatneon I'm still here

#

Online Karens are coming back boys

#

No need to be personal.

ornate summit
#

Let's not

stone pebble
#

God

#

I'm jsut

ornate summit
#

Relax

stone pebble
#

People ruinign the game

red tiger
#

Sorry I didn't realize the final boss was supposed to be surprising

#

i'll just refer to him as the final boss in the future

stone pebble
#

It's fine, yeah, just do that

dusky estuary
#

You can say Redacted and everyone will know who you mean.

stone pebble
#

We've come to an agreement, we're finished

red tiger
#

but can someone answer my question though

stone pebble
#

When people are just wrong, I feel like I gotta correct them

carmine ravine
#

since when the final boss is an anomaly

red tiger
#

dude calm down

stone pebble
#

Yeah I am

#

Just

#

Stating my mindset

elfin spoke
#

wow i suck i find it really hard to hit theseus back on pc

red tiger
#

when I do I find out what ambrosia does

brisk trail
#

When you read the codex entry

stone pebble
#

Oh wait'

#

I'm actually stupid

carmine ravine
#

bond with ppl, u gib ppl ambrosia after u unlocked their locked hearts

stone pebble
#

We could've just resolved this problem by saying

red tiger
#

calm down

carmine ravine
#

move on

red tiger
#

its over

#

I still don't understand what the purpose of giving nectar to people is

carmine ravine
#

bond with them

brisk trail
#

To get more hearts

red tiger
#

Is it just for story reasons?

stone pebble
#

Keepsakes and stuffs

red tiger
#

Other than keepsakes

ornate summit
#

Lore, story, some unlocks

mellow temple
#

mostly for story but it does have a gameplay purpose

brisk trail
#

You really haven't noticed what happens when you give nectar??

red tiger
#

@brisk trail they say thank you and then you get nothing from it

carmine ravine
#

some for keepsakes, some for story, some for another type of keepsakes

ornate summit
#

He's talking about Ambrosia.

next sphinx
#

||Ambrosia can be gifted to people after you’ve given them six nectars and completed a quest for them, six of those characters will give you powerful summoning items||

brisk trail
#

You think the final boss is obvious but you haven't been able to determine you get items when you give nectar to people?

red tiger
#

no im talking about nectar now

#

The first time, yes.

#

But after that nothing

carmine ravine
#

the affinity bar is not just 1 heart

#

fill it up

stone pebble
#

You can also date certain people if you fill their heart gauge

red tiger
#

Is that what the stuff under the keepsake thing unlocks?

ornate summit
#

It's explicitly mentioned you get nothing, on general principle

brisk trail
#

Yeah, go back to your keepsake window and just stare at the big question mark boxes

red tiger
#

with the golden little heart things with keyholes?

next sphinx
#

Yes

red tiger
#

ahhh ok

ornate summit
#

Yep

red tiger
#

And there are only 6?

ornate summit
#

Only some NPCs, mind

carmine ravine
#

yes

red tiger
#

Can I only choose 6 or can I get them all

ornate summit
#

6 is all there is

red tiger
#

oh. some NPCs dont give an item after the first at all?

#

hm

carmine ravine
#

only 6 npcs give them

ornate summit
#

Tbh give it out anyway, that's what Nectar and Ambrosia are for

next sphinx
#

||Than, Meg, Dusa, Achilles are four of them, what are the other two again?||

void walrus
#

You can also use nectar/ambrosia to barter with the broker

hard pier
#

I might accidentally have started the bouldy ||companion|| storyline first and locked myself out of the others before finishing this one

stone pebble
#

||Skelly and Bouldy/Sisyphus||

faint flume
#

||sisyphus, thanatos, and patroclus|| @next sphinx

#

oh wait, ||missed you saying than my bad||

stone pebble
#

Everyone forgot about skelly shadegrief

faint flume
#

poor skelly

#

what a lad tho

hard pier
#

Boyo stronk

stone pebble
#

The little pose he does when ||he's summoned gets me every time||

next sphinx
#

I don’t think you can lock yourself out of anything Pidge

#

It will all eventually happen

hard pier
#

You can only have one storyline going, afaik

#

I can't get the Meg prophecy to trigger, for example

brisk trail
#

There is an alternate dialogue if you beat the final boss on your first run

#

But that's not a thing you keep really

hard pier
#

I'll have to ||lighten sisyphus's sentence first|| afaic

#

There is an alternate dialogue if you beat the final boss on your first run
@brisk trail I wanna try and go for that once I git gud

next sphinx
#

Meg’s takes a while because rng has to trigger two different scenes with her

brisk trail
#

@hard pier since you start with athena a good strategy and to go for the athena ares boon so you proc doom and trigger it over and over again

hard pier
#

That duo literally never pops up for me, even in my planned out runs

#

I'll try and get above ||3 heat|| first tyvm

brisk trail
#

Well you run into a lot fewer variations in the first few runs

next sphinx
#

Oh yeah, that’s very fun when you can get it

brisk trail
#

No hammers no hermes, etc

hard pier
#

||EM1|| kinda destroyed my flow

#

I can't beat ||Hades|| anymore, even tho ||EM1|| only affects the sisters xD

next sphinx
#

Yeah its jarring at first!

hard pier
#

His weird traps that he spawns in get me sometimes, too. With ||heightened security|| it's a chunky 150 damage hit

#

It's weird because I still get though the sisters fight quite well

#

But the run after that, where everything is essentially back to ||2 heat|| since ||EM1|| has no effect there just deteriorates so fast xD

#

My luck with boons has run dry, I think

next sphinx
#

Maybe you’re used to having more dodges and therefore more iframes?

hard pier
#

I think you're mistaking something here

#

I do have pretty much everything but the last two mirror upgrades maxxed

ebon pumice
#

Guys I did like 100+ runs over and over farming to get the Exagryph hidden aspect

hard pier
#

I can get by quite well with 2-3 dodges usually

ebon pumice
#

first run I get it first try next day

#

lmao

#

oh my b

void vigil
#

@ebon pumice please don't evade the swear filter!

ebon pumice
#

frick it*

#

I didnt realise

#

I didnt read the rules

#

whoops

hard pier
next sphinx
#

Oh sure, I usually try to get plus 2 extra dodges from Hermes though, on runs where I don’t the final fight is harder

hard pier
#

To get three extra dashes is just the best kind of luxury

next sphinx
#

I use ruthless reflex so a try to reroll Hermes boons to get more extra dashes

bronze ravine
#

@hard pier play with ||hidden fists||

hard pier
#

I don't use the fists enough to warrant the blood investment

#

Nor have I even discovered them yet

bronze ravine
#

that one is really fun tho

rancid ember
#

This conversation makes it seem like lategame you have a lot more (even if not absolute) control over what boons you get than I've experienced so far lol

bronze ravine
#

it has ||more dash built-in||

hard pier
#

God keepsakes and rerolls

bronze ravine
#

@rancid ember you actually do thanks to mirror's lategame perks

hard pier
#

Tho rerolls are expensive

#

Are those spoiler?

woeful lotus
#

you never get complete control tho

hard pier
#

I mean, they are locked behind 30 keys

next sphinx
#

They might be, sorry about that Seian

rancid ember
#

Hmm, I see

#

I don't mind spoilers lol

#

Others might though

#

so

bronze ravine
#

don't think they are spoiler

hard pier
#

@rancid ember best thing you can do to try and get the build you want is to grab the God keepsakes

woeful lotus
#

you have some and it really helps but you need to know the mechanics of how the boons work etc

#

that helps more than anything

bronze ravine
#

afaik spoilers here are the content of hidden aspects, last area, last boss and anything post clear

next sphinx
#

I didn’t think of them as spoilery because they’re a game mechanic, but there you go

red tiger
#

would the name of a keepsake be a spoiler

hard pier
#

Do I have to win with a hidden aspect or just reach ||redacted|| with it?

void walrus
#

The general rule is late-game content counts as spoilers, so I think mentioning rerolls and naming keepsakes would be fine since you can access them pretty darn early on

next sphinx
#

The name of the final two keepsakes would be spoilers, yes

bronze ravine
#

@red tiger nope except the two post-game

void walrus
#

Ooh that's true

hard pier
#

Well, there's really only one keepsake you can only get post credits

red tiger
#

ah ok

bronze ravine
#

2 afaik

hard pier
#

||only one I still had to get was the Persephone one, I had all the others pre credits||

#

Perhaps the switch version is missing one, what do I know

red tiger
#

Does anyone else try to kill as fast as possible because you're used to using the lament plume sometimes lol

bronze ravine
#

@hard pier ||there apparently is a hades keepsake for the post-epilogue (so the part of the story after the credits)||

hard pier
#

Never used it

bronze ravine
#

I used it for the achievement and never after

hard pier
#

||I'd have thought that the keepsake container would show me a free slot for that one, but I guess it's a little secret or something||

#

Or it's just not on Switch yet

#

I mean the second heart is still locked

bronze ravine
#

||maybe, I think it gives you hades call or something||

next sphinx
#

||I finally got Hades keepsake yesterday, it took soooo many deaths for him to accept more nectars postgame||

rancid ember
#

Ugh, had more trouble with hydra than I thought I would. I went from no death defiances used to two death defiances used lol

#

So much for my dreams of my first clear

#

There's no way I'll make it past Elysium bosses with only tooth defiance left XD

void walrus
#

@rancid ember I've cleared a couple times and still occasionally have issues with the hydra based on what heads pop up! You'll get it soon. shadesmile

red tiger
#

Yeah you'll get that soon. Remember the whole idea is going through and losing and upgrading

rancid ember
#

Previously I don't remember having much trouble with the hydra at all XD But I also don't really have a good idea of the strategy still tbh. I think the first couple times I had some really good boons on my side which helped

red tiger
#

oh are you playing for the first time since before official release or something?

rancid ember
#

No

#

I only started playing recently

#

But my last two runs that got here the hydra didn't seem that hard lol

next sphinx
#

You can do it! They all can feel hard depending on how comfortable you are with your weapons and boons, right?

glass shell
#

is there any reward for win streaks?

next sphinx
#

Also before I knew that the hydra sometimes spits out eggs that become monsters, I was overrun by so many extra monsters

hushed lintel
#

is there any reward for win streaks?
@glass shell no

next sphinx
#

Or whatever you call those balls

hushed lintel
#

just call them eggs

#

same thing

next sphinx
#

Oooh I just started my run with Poseidon keepsake, and the first door after him is Dionysus - it’s gonna be a good run

hard pier
#

Still not a big fan of Poseidon

faint flume
#

poseidon cast and call are fun

#

splash dash is good

hard pier
#

But his special is nice on the Stygian Blade with the Hammer that makes the Special hit twice

faint flume
#

yeah

hard pier
#

Negates the removed knockback

faint flume
#

taking him on your regular attack and special is kinda eh tho

frigid scarab
#

am i just bad or is the spear just not good

red tiger
#

the spear is the best imo

faint flume
#

you use special on your spear more than regular attack to get the most out of it

frigid scarab
#

its base attack is woeful

faint flume
#

you really gotta use the range on it

#

and use the base attack to apply status effects

red tiger
#

use things with extra backstab damage for the special too

next sphinx
#

Zagreus spear is nice for spamming special and getting backstab every time

hard pier
#

Apparently the Zag aspect is a waste

red tiger
#

like if you don't have the backstab damage perk in nyx's mirror get that

hard pier
#

I hear the Achilles one is good

frigid scarab
#

ive mostly been using the Hades one

faint flume
#

it is, free 150% damage

next sphinx
#

I really dislike the Achilles aspect, so ymmv

frigid scarab
#

i just dont know how to get its dmg up

faint flume
#

I like how mobile it is

rancid ember
#

Well, that was a valiant, though ultimately doomed attempt at Elysium

hard pier
#

What's the alternate to the backstab?

frigid scarab
#

im not really a fan of the ranged stuff

#

which is why i never use the bow

#

because i play controller and aiming isnt as easy as it would be on mouse

hard pier
#

Hera bow With Trippy Shot is actually great

#

Also the auto aim is generous

#

It's really not bad

#

Actually hard to miss

brisk trail
#

What's the alternate to the backstab?
@hard pier Increased damage to undamaged enemies.

bronze ravine
#

just play eris rail, doesn't matter where you aim if you're hitting the whole room anyway

hard pier
#

Rail is meh

#

Even Eris

pliant sparrow
#

Isnt eris rail the fastest clear or something?

hard pier
#

The wait for the bomb to land is deadly

bronze ravine
#

rail with zeus on attack is strong

hard pier
#

At least for me

bronze ravine
#

special is just an inbetween the reloading with the bonus damage when you're in the right place

next sphinx
#

I love the rail, not as much as the bow but it’s great

bronze ravine
#

zeus attack + various lighnting buffs + a bunch of artemis crit buffs pretty much mean that every bullet will deal big damage to all the enemies

hard pier
#

The only bow aspect that I actually don't enjoy as much is

#

Interestingly enough

#

The hidden one

brisk trail
#

Hidden one so stronk

austere jacinth
#

The rail and fists are my fave weapons.

bronze ravine
#

for the hidden bow, the one run I did it I only spammed special and didn't actually use its special mechanic

#

so can't judge

hard pier
#

Well I used it, but the Attack is really slow to charge

next sphinx
#

I made myself die early on a run with the hidden bow aspect because I dislike it so much for bosses

brisk trail
#

I use crit on the attack to see big shared numbers

hard pier
#

If you don't get the hammer to make it faster it's rather eh

brisk trail
#

It's great against bosses though

next sphinx
#

It can be but I much prefer Chiron

hard pier
#

It's really annoying against the assassin special enemy down in Tartarus

#

The guy is so hard to hit

brisk trail
#

Apparently the rail is actually op tho

#

It's kind of like a reverse chiron because the special does what you have to land a regular attack with chiron to do all by itself

bronze ravine
#

that's why I spammed special, pretty much same idea as chiron but without having to tag the target first

hard pier
#

Eris rail can be pwerful

#

But I can't get into the gameplay feel

brisk trail
#

The gameplay feel is shoot big rockets

bronze ravine
#

@brisk trail rail + zeus attack + lightning buffs + crit buffs

#

1 bullet = a bunch of targeted bouncing aoe lightnings everywhere

faint flume
#

it's great

hard pier
#

It doesn't help if getting into the blast radius raises the chances of me dying exponentially xD

brisk trail
#

Get more dashes

bronze ravine
#

doesn't when your basic attack pretty much become a nuke button

hard pier
#

Eh

#

Preferences

faint flume
#

imagine if bow special did chain lightning rather than regular lightning? the sheer amount of crowd control...

bronze ravine
#

it was a no ||heat|| run, but it was also the time it felt the most like a click to win to me

hard pier
#

It's not for me

#

I cant get into fists or spear either

brisk trail
#

Yeah lightning attack on eris rail has been addicting for me

hard pier
#

They just feel bad to me

brisk trail
#

It's too good and so easy to set up

#

Especially if you get rush delivery

#

To buff the dmg of the lightning

bronze ravine
#

for fists, I have yet to try demeter (not really interested) but I found hidden fists quite fun to use

brisk trail
#

But you're also pretty new too, when you get better at the game you might like them more

#

Demeter are the best fists for raw damage

hard pier
#

40 hours is good time, if you ask me

bronze ravine
#

hidden fists + ares attack + athena dash + ares-athena duo melt everything

brisk trail
#

Aren't you only playing ||heat 3 though||

hard pier
#

Ye

brisk trail
#

Right. Lol

#

Out of 50

carmine ravine
#

woAh

hard pier
#

I propably won't go up to 50

#

Ever

#

I'm already struggling

rancid ember
#

Hm... Which should I aim for first out of Darker Thirst, Brilliant Gemstones, Vintage Nectar, Fated Cthonic Keys, Pitch Black Darkness, and Vanquisher's Keep? (holy crap that's a lot of diamonds needed and I'm sure there's more uses for them yet to come)

hard pier
#

Take the one that you'd like the most right now

#

You'll get them all anyway

rancid ember
#

True

#

Probably Darker Thirst. It's cheapest and it gives permanent rewards

hard pier
#

I think the first one I took was the one that made darkness into a health upgrade

rancid ember
#

It's gonna take so long to get all these diamonds @.@

hard pier
#

They're all permanent

#

And it won't take too long

#

Do stuff on the fated list, some higher ||heats|| with different weapons, it'll add up

rancid ember
#

Though I think there's an easyish way to get diamonds once you can get to the final area? If you can save up a lot of money

hard pier
#

It's random if it's blood or a diamond

rancid ember
#

Ah

hard pier
#

I run golden touch anyway so I'm pretty conservative for the final shop anyway

bronze ravine
#

it's not really an interesting way as it makes your runs harder since it costs a lot of coins

#

the easiest way imo (other than first clear runs) is through the trader

#

you unlock permanent deals to get those

#

gems -> keys -> nectars -> diamonds -> ambrosia (-> blood)

rancid ember
#

All of those take a lot of effort to collect though, don't they? So it would seem like if you want to get the diamonds/ambrosia/blood more quickly, you'd be wanting to buy them too.

Though I don't know if higher ||heat|| increases the amount of rewards you get

brisk trail
#

It does not.

bronze ravine
#

it does not take as much time as you'd think

#

it's not like you build everything from gems, in a run you will aso directly get keys and nectars

#

wich speed up the process

rancid ember
#

I mean, yes, that's true, but even so. Don't you need 10 nectars to get a diamond?

bronze ravine
#

yes, but in a complete run you will get quite a lot of gems and keys too, especially with stuff like troves

#

granted you won't buy a diamond every single run

rancid ember
#

Hmm, I see

#

There's also the 15 keys for a Titan Blood deal that shows up periodically, which will help too if you're going for bloods

bronze ravine
#

I never really counted, but I think you get one for every 2-3 runs or so? depends on how far you go and your luck

#

that too

#

always have 15 keys (or enough gems for that) for that deal

amber cloak
#

Does the Chaos Attack Bonus apply to dash attacks?

bronze ravine
#

also don't forget to keep an eye out for your prophecies, some give you good rewards

rancid ember
#

Should I prioritize unlocking the last mirror segment before I worry about the keys for blood deal though?

bronze ravine
#

@amber cloak should be iirc

#

dash attack being a type of attack

#

that's what I did, since it's a one time unlock

#

and the perks are really useful

amber cloak
#

Actually I dont think so, just looked it up and Chaos has a specific boon to boost Dash Attack dmg

rancid ember
#

Pretty sure attack bonuses apply to dash attacks, in general. Dash Attacks may also be boosted separately

amber cloak
#

So Im assuming Attack Bonus doesnt boost Dash Attack dmg but that one does

bronze ravine
#

still work

#

attack bonuses apply to all attacks (including dash) but dash bonuses only apply to dash

brisk trail
#

If a Hammer says it boosts Attack, it will almost certainly only apply to your standing Attack and not a Dash-Strike.

#

Boons will apply to Dash-Strikes as well (so you still get Status Curses and damage increases on Dash-Strikes).

#

Shadow Slash, Cursed Slash, neither of those work on the sword's Dash-Strike.

#

I think largely Exagryph breaks that trend, because the Dash-Strike is so similar to your regular Attack.

rancid ember
#

Hammers usually do that by altering how the attack works on a basic level, so it makes sense that it wouldn't affect the dash strike.

brisk trail
#

Chaos' Attack boons do boost Dash-Strikes.

amber cloak
#

From a balancing perspective though, that makes the Dash Attack Chaos boon strictly worse than the Chaos Attack boon because that one boosts the dash attack AND attack dmg which doesn't makes sense

red tiger
#

just beat final boss twice. got a question ||I just used one of the heat gauge skull things and won with it....what exactly did that get me?||

brisk trail
#

Chaos Lunge boons give much higher bonuses on average.

bronze ravine
#

@amber cloak not necessarily, it depends on the number

brisk trail
#

They also break Aspect of Demeter wide open.

bronze ravine
#

a more specialized buff with a big % buff is not always worse than a broad buff with a lower % increase

red tiger
#

||is it just to reunlock the items I get from the bosses?||

brisk trail
#

Those resources you get for beating bosses are used in the House and to upgrade weapons.

#

You can grind everything out without increasing Heat but it will take a much much longer time.

bronze ravine
#

you get a new set of bounties/Weapon for each ||heat level||

rancid ember
#

When I don't have maxed Death Defiance yet, should I prioritize getting Darkness over getting keys?

red tiger
#

ok and other than that, its just the upgrades?

#

@rancid ember Yes.

bronze ravine
#

also, there are some things that need a certain ||heat level||, but I have yet to open it myself so not sure what's in there

rancid ember
#

Right, I wasn't sure but it makes sense

red tiger
#

@rancid ember I also recommend using the darkness bonus health thing rather than the +3 health per chamber one if you don't have that already

bronze ravine
#

damn, I keep making typos. I'm tired

red tiger
#

especially if you're using a weapon that gives you +20% darkness

rancid ember
#

Really? I didn't think that looked very good, because I'm not getting darkness all that often. Like, I'd be getting a few HP every now and then with an occasional bigger bump, instead of +3 every chamber.

#

And I only get the bigger bump if I'm lucky

red tiger
#

also if you run into a darkness treasure trove

#

I always thought it felt like if I got +3 every chamber, I'd immediately lose the 3 health I just got lol

rancid ember
#

I mean, true. That could help offset the HP I lose on the trove lol

#

+3 every chamber is about +45 in Tartarus alone, tbf

bronze ravine
#

I've considered switching to that perk too, but atm I'm always prioritizing gems over darkness so never actually tried

#

what was the % regen again?

red tiger
#

Though I can't believe I've used stubborn defiance so much until recently and been upgrading not-death-defiances

#

I have it maxed and its 60% the amount of darkness

#

60*

bronze ravine
#

hmm, could actually be interesting if you get the chaos/pose boons increasing rewards

#

also, you'd get some more heals from boss fights after first clear

red tiger
#

that too. would always suck to use the +3health/chamber perk and I'd still be down a lot of health after using the fountain after figthing a boss

pallid ledge
#

do keys have a use after unlocking all the weapons and mirror upgrades?

bronze ravine
#

yes

red tiger
#

Other than trading?

pallid ledge
#

other than trading

bronze ravine
#

reset the mirror if needed, and trading for more delicious stuff

red tiger
#

so no lol

bronze ravine
#

trading being the best part since at some point you will be able to pretty much convert them to any bounty

brisk trail
#

just got 9:31 any heat boys

red tiger
#

oh yeah tradings certainly good but its not really a main intended function of the key ya know

bronze ravine
#

also, during a run and with the right contractor upgrade, key rewards will give you an additional dice for a late mirror perk

brisk trail
#

I was scared to add the 3 heat for faster enemies, but im postivie it saved like close to 30 secconds, if not more

red tiger
#

ohhhh thats good to know nova

bronze ravine
#

at some point, the house contractor gives you access to 4 upgrades, each giving additional rewards for outside run resources rooms

#

I'm off to sleep, good night guys

brisk trail
#

Maybe I should speedrun

#

I've got some really good times trying to go fast, but I haven't tried exclusively to speedrun

dusty haven
#

Hello everyone !
I have a question : the deadelus affect called 'Reinforced spear' or something like that (who change the Special to shot like a bow) make the spear come back on the shot or not ?

#

I'm sorry for my bad english ...

rancid ember
#

Oh hey I just got my first duo boon

#

Athena and Aphrodite

#

Imagine if there were Trio or even Quad boons, how many combinations there'd be lol

thick crypt
#

that doesnt make sense?

because it trakes to the last enemy you hit

#

it makes the dps really good if you get a good boon on it

thick crypt
#

but isnt.. less arrows -> less dmg?

#

or is the dmg split per arrow

#

so less arrows = more dmg per arrow

tacit prism
#

its more so that if you use the regular bow, not all arrows hit. so in tern you lose dps

#

in this case all hit (unless some hit walls or something)

#

good for staking status effects or crits

thick crypt
#

wiki shows somehting diffrent in "max shots per special"

#

im so confused

tacit prism
#

those are the diffrent amounts per lvl. as you lvl it up it gets more arrows that track

thick crypt
#

yea and thats what i ment

#

looking at my screenshot above, it sais my special (the tracking attack) has 9 arrows, but when i upgrade its 5?

tacit prism
#

oohhh thats cause you probably have the zag aspect equiped. the zag has 9 and its saying if you change to this aspect you get 5

thick crypt
#

gotcha

tacit prism
#

sorry i was confused lol

thick crypt
#

no i dont

#

i doubel checked

Hey, I've started a new save on PC and I can't get Nyx to grant me alternative mirror talents. At first I thought it was because I beat Hades too quickly (18 runs in on that save) but just now I did a save with 11 runs where I purposefully didn't advance past bone hydra and i still cant get her to give me mirror talents

#

Any ideas or fixes?

thick crypt
tacit prism
#

hover over the upgrade button

thick crypt
#

i still only have 5 arrows tho

#

right! thanks vos

tacit prism
#

all good

thick crypt
#

so without hovering over the lvl button its shows

Zag (9) -> Chiron (5)

#

cuz lvl 2 = 5arrows

I have a question about npc interactions that involve spoilers what chat do I ask that in?

thick crypt
#

#

|| SPOILER ||

tacit prism
#

Ok I get it now lol

thick crypt
#

anyway bedtime

tacit prism
#

Gn!

thick crypt
#

goodluck wit your awnser

tacit prism
#

Thanks 😊

#

So this question involves duologue priority for achilles so view at your own risk lol

#

Lol crap idk how to do spoiler

civic solstice
#

And you just ruined the Achiless quest line for me

#

thanks

tacit prism
#

Sorry I tried to do the spoiler thing but it didn't work

civic solstice
#

uh huh

autumn barn
#

lol its ok voskos i know you tried

#

try again with two |'s

civic solstice
#

oh Im sure its ok for people who have already played through it

tacit prism
#

I tried to delete it as fast as I could sorry man

brisk trail
#

Mistakes happen, man.

proven slate
#

kinda wish i could get epic/heroic artemis attack. just never lines up

carmine ravine
#

no mistakes allowed here, im going to sue you for that

proven slate
#

last run i was doing 1k damage per crit though, so that was nice

tacit prism
#

What build?

proven slate
#

Mostly just artemis and athena.

#

Crit chance, mark crit, athena dash + empowered backstabs.

tacit prism
#

Nice what weapon?

proven slate
#

And double shot on bow, with 150% on power shot

tacit prism
#

Oh lol

proven slate
#

With Zag aspect

tacit prism
#

Damn thats alot of damage

proven slate
#

Yeah, and found out a feature of double shot. Since they're two shots, I was taking out armored enemies because I was doing so much damage in one shot

#

Lol

tacit prism
#

Oh kinda like hammer upgrades that make attacked hit twice

proven slate
#

Yeah, shorter range but you shoot two arrows.

tacit prism
#

Does it count as 1 attack? Like do both arrows have there own chances of criting

proven slate
#

I think so.

#

It is 1 attack

#

Not sure about the specifics of it.

pliant sparrow
#

how to power shot consistently?

#

or trigger it

carmine ravine
#

u dont need to do it consistently

pliant sparrow
#

im wondering cuz im trying to do it on skelly and 30% of the time, i can do it and 70% of the time it doesnt work

carmine ravine
#

wait until zagreus have a white flash

#

and release it in that window

pliant sparrow
#

do you get the flash by dashing?

carmine ravine
#

no

#

dash strike makes the charge faster but u can do it without dashing

pliant sparrow
#

so i look for a flash at the end of the bow wind animation?

carmine ravine
#

not the end, look at zagreus

rancid ember
#

casually sells Aphro/Athena Duo Boon to grab additional death defiance from minishop

#

This is a good deal :D

#

And it gives me a little extra too

#

It's actually tempting to sell the Heroic Zeuscast too but idk if that's a good idea. Zeuscast bugs me a little bit because chain lightning can mean my original target of a cast doesn't get bloodstone'd

stone pebble
#

maybe I shouldnt sponsor wins

#

hm

#

The ice blast on it was really powerful

#

I also got a machine gun

#

a real one

sometimes i wish i could give Daedalus nectar since they're such a swell guy leaving their hammers around lul

#

why do wringers only appear when you get to the surface for the first time?

rancid ember
#

OMG WHAT

the special event guy in Elysium just replenished all my uses of Death Defiance o.o

#

That's

#

whoa

#

I wonder if I can actually win this run?! (probably not, but)

#

...the Lucky Tooth one is replenished too

#

Baha that's amazing

#

what are the best gods for a sword cas tbuild

#

in a run rn, I have artemis cast and athena dash

rancid ember
#

...welp. I died quite miserably to Asterius and Theseus XD I think a good part of why I did so poorly is because I hate a Chaos "boon" that shortened my dash (and I underestimated how nasty that could be)... I probably shouldn't have entered that chaos gate tbh.

robust scaffold
#

yea that one is tough

#

i took 2 dash banes once and my dash was literally 0 distance

#

so i died

...welp. I died quite miserably to Asterius and Theseus XD I think a good part of why I did so poorly is because I hate a Chaos "boon" that shortened my dash (and I underestimated how nasty that could be)... I probably shouldn't have entered that chaos gate tbh.
@rancid ember by the way, attack asterius first, he's much more agressive and theseus is pretty easy to dodge from far away. You dont want to get to theseus's second phase while asterius is still alive

rancid ember
#

Yeah, I'd been going after Asterius first

nova nymph
#

any rumors of an expansion or a new god?

#

honestly think we could use a fire-based god

#

hephaetus or apollo would be cool

coral prawn
#

Yo i just joined the server cus i like de hades game WatchingYou ok cool

#

Whats yall’s favourite god

agile cargo
#

mostly the girls

#

i cant decide between artemis and aphro, for olympian ones

pulsar timber
#

aphrodite, biggest damage multipliers and very useful curse

#

athena and artemis are great too, but my favorite is aphrodite

radiant estuary
#

Athena for boons, Artemis as someone I'd be cool with hanging out with

agile cargo
#

aphrodite really won everyones heart huh

coral prawn
#

Is it weird that my favorite god is charon

#

Idk why but i love him villagebdfghtfbbf

agile cargo
#

ah yes

#

sans from hades

coral prawn
#

Its probably part to do with i like purple

agile cargo
#

purple is a great color in this game

coral prawn
#

No i dint like the uhh

#

I forgot his name

agile cargo
#

i like nyx bc of that same reason

coral prawn
#

Wine god whomth name i forgot

agile cargo
#

dio

#

dionysus

coral prawn
#

For a second i thought you were messing with me

agile cargo
#

chshdh

coral prawn
#

Cause the only dio i know is from jojo

pulsar timber
#

dio makes me question my sexuality

agile cargo
#

ppl call dionysus dio sometimes its funny

coral prawn
#

Whats yalls most hated gods

agile cargo
#

ares has a hot appearance design but im not big on war and violence

pulsar timber
#

I hate ares

coral prawn
#

I hate dionysus because he was the first god to kill me when i knew nothing about the game and found a trial of the gods or whatever it’s called

pulsar timber
#

not that he's bad, but unless I'm specifically going for a doom/blade build he's almost useless

coral prawn
#

I only got the game like a week ago on my switch

agile cargo
#

in my opinion dio goes kinda easy on you in trial of gods or heroes fight

#

easiest one to deal with at least

coral prawn
#

YES BUT I STILL DIED

agile cargo
#

understandable

coral prawn
#

THAT FIRST TIME

agile cargo
#

was it ur first run

coral prawn
#

Aaaaa

#

Uh

#

No but lemmie check

pulsar timber
#

well poseidon killed me the first time, never tried messing with him again lol

#

so I know how you feel

coral prawn
#

Cant check

#

Uh

#

But i thknk it was run 4-

#

Or somethin

#

4-5

proven slate
#

i made the mistake of not taking a cast special or attack in the first 2 levels because i was greedy for epic or above

#

i've gone through 2 DD's now

coral prawn
#

Probably my second favorite god is poseidon i just like him idk also i really like the boons he gives

pulsar timber
#

poseidon has the worst boons lol

#

he's the only one I would never focus a build on

rancid ember
#

Wow, I just got 120 darkness from Lerny o.o

pulsar timber
#

only his dash is good, and for farming he's nice too

rancid ember
#

Does he give 100 base when you beat him after getting his diamond on that weapon?

pulsar timber
#

I believe so, every boss gives darkness after you already claimed the bounty

rancid ember
#

I know Furies give 50

pulsar timber
#

and in increasing amount, ||hades|| gives a lot

rancid ember
#

Hmm, good to know!

proven slate
#

why do people like poseidon's dash?

#

cause it knocks things around?

coral prawn
#

Yeah i guess

rancid ember
#

Dash for damage seems not insignificant

pulsar timber
#

highest damage for a dash

#

I don't like it but it can work

#

speedrunners use it a lot

proven slate
#

feel like you could do more damage with zeus

coral prawn
#

Whats yalls favorite weapon

proven slate
#

although i guess base it does the most damage

coral prawn
#

Also how many of yall play this game on the switch .-.

pulsar timber
#

I love demeter fists

rancid ember
#

Can Zeus get you multiple strikes per dash or something? Doesn't Zeusdash have a base damage of like 10?

proven slate
#

i do everything base lol

#

zeus dash with boons can strike multiple times and get jolted on enemies

coral prawn
#

Ive always been a ranged kinda person but not too much range, so my favorite is spear ofc

proven slate
#

but it's something you'd have to build around

rancid ember
#

Hmm, I see

coral prawn
#

I like using the default spear and trying to get a epic teir boon from hermes for special to get its speed up alot and just go ham

proper light
#

Anyone gay as I am for Hypnos

coral prawn
#

Sadly it wouldnt be gay for me to like hypnos

#

Am wamen

#

ah make sense I am Nonbinary everything is gay. But fair wamen is cool.

coral prawn
#

Im kinda a tomboy tho

#

I dont indentify as anything but my true gender of which is wamen

#

Skelly is best character ok

#

Lol idk

proper light
#

Skelly is the cool cousin who gives you sweets at the party while he smokes weed in the back

coral prawn
#

Are the sweets brownies squinty

proper light
#

coral prawn
#

Hes probably the kinda person whod put weed in the brownies too

proper light

for sure for sure.

Is it just coincidence that Stygius and Exagryph both haven't gotten any Dark Thirsts since I changed their aspect?

#

I've never gotten a Dark Thirst with Exagryph that I can remember lol

tiny grove
#

i mean it's 1/6 for any particular dark thirst

#

i'm gonna go with rng

rancid ember

Yaay I get to do several encounters using only bow special and Ares Cast because of Chaos Boon >_>
