woo. i just have two legendary fish left to get

#

and...one of them might be chaos yes....

proper light
#

i wish i could just fish in this game

#

like fish is all i wanna dude

#

i was so hyped when i saw you could fish

dreamy briar
#

New area but it's only fishing minigames

proper light
#

I would be thriving

#

My crops grown

#

My skin clear

#

My loans payed

rancid ember
#

omg the bow's Charged Volley is so good, even if you don't actually charge

#

...maybe especially if you don't actually charge? lol

#

Making the arrows fire closer together is by itself a huge improvement

blissful cosmos
#

da

pliant sparrow
#

chiron bow..?

red tiger
#

Does spending a flaming skull and dying before getting to the end mean you don't get it back?

#

Or does the skull only get spent once you win with it?

pliant sparrow
#

im pretty sure skull is heat level?

red tiger
#

But I won twice so far, so shouldn't I have 2 skulls?

pliant sparrow
#

you change heat level in pact of punishment

#

before each run

red tiger
#

It looks like I can only have a max of 1 heat level though

pliant sparrow
#

the max is like 60 if you play more

red tiger
#

ok, so it just stays at 1 for a while regardless

#

watching streams of this game I thought the skull was equal to the number of times you reached the end

pliant sparrow
#

wait if you've only won twice so far how do you have infernal gates?

red tiger
#

infernal gates?

#

Oh I mean the pact of punishment things

pliant sparrow
#

oh the skull things you can spend turn it up as high as u want

red tiger
#

ah ok good

pliant sparrow
#

it just resets first clear rewards

red tiger
#

also, I've noticed I've really not been focusing on my fated list like at ALL lol

#

so I'm gonna start doin that some...there are a few where I'm only one off

rancid ember
#

Heeelll yes I finally have maxed out Death Defiance <3

#

Is Stygian Soul or Infernal Soul better? I've been using Stygian because it sounds good, but 3 second regen isn't as fast as it sounds.

pliant sparrow
#

depends on build

tiny grove
#

they're both legit. In general I prefer Stygian for ranged and Infernal for melee but

pliant sparrow
#

some builds like hera bow or hidden shield aspect do better with stygian i think

tiny grove
#

one of the good things when you're low darkness

#

is that stygian works with 0 darkness invested

#

and infernal soul has no benefit unless you put darkness in

pliant sparrow
#

stygian requires chaos gates for specialized cast builds tho for max dps

tiny grove
#

Besides I would be cautious about using the word better in this game

#

not to say it doesn't exist but

rancid ember
#

Hmm...

tiny grove
#

90% of choices in this game are situationally dependent

#

and there's not many things in this game that are outright "bad"

blissful cosmos
#

m

pliant sparrow
#

stack builds on ||arthur aspect||?

rancid ember
#

I'll just keep using Stygian for now since I haven't fully invested into Infernal. Eventually I'll probably learn better about switching between the two

#

Eventually I'll master this game or die get distracted trying

tiny grove
#

the best part about Stygian is that you don't have to pick up your bloodstones

#

but it also means you have less frontloaded potential than infernal soul

#

and can't get arty/zeus duo

rancid ember
#

Doesn't Hermes have a boon specifically for Stygian? Or does that just have a different effect for Infernal?

tiny grove
#

Hermes has two alternate legendaries

#

for Stygian and Infernal

rancid ember
#

Ah, neat

pliant sparrow
#

does boiling blood stack per cast stuck?

tiny grove
#

no

#

it's an on/off effect

delicate pilot
#

wooooo

#

i only have ONE fish left

#

and its the chaos legendary...

rancid ember
#

Hmm. Since I have maxed Death Defiance, I guess I should start working on getting lots of keys. Still need the 30 key tier in the mirror... Lot of keys away from it too lol

#

And then I'll probably start focusing gems for Superior Troves

#

Ugh, 47 escape attempts so far and I haven't even gotten past Theseus' first phase

pliant sparrow
#

i mean tbh in the beginning stygian/infernal dont really matter unless you actively use cast boons

#

otherwise you just use them for boiling blood

tiny grove
#

Ugh, 47 escape attempts so far and I haven't even gotten past Theseus' first phase
@rancid ember The last tier of mirror offers some of the strongest talents

#

they should make the game much easier

rancid ember
#

Good to know!

pliant sparrow
#

what r u struggling with theseus first phase?

#

the last tier of mirror takes a lot of darkness and might take a while

rancid ember
#

I've only even reached him twice XD

#

I'm not sure what I'm struggling with specifically there

#

Most of my energy has been expended each time just getting through Asterius first

pliant sparrow
#

oh thats good u can get past the hard part

#

the rest is just waiting for theseus to aim a spear at u

#

then u hide behind pillar

#

then he'll walk away with back turned to u for a few seconds

#

and he'll repeat this move indefinitely

rancid ember
#

Aah

pliant sparrow
#

until second phase, where you have to dodge some big aoe attacks while hiding behind a pillar

#

but otherwise same moveset

#

you can dash through pillars that makes it a bit easier

Lofi hip-hop beats but it's Hydra's theme hueh

Final Expense has always been a weird theme to me tbh

stone pebble
#

I think it's supposed to be a breath of fresh air

#

no fighting, fun shopping sorta

dreamy briar

Makes a good shop theme and the music can sometimes tilt you even more when you buy a boon and it just gives you garbage

Unless theres a spooky bag

All fun and games until you go afk and forget you were on lava in Asphodel

But the remix of that is HOT FIRE

I hate armored thugs so much. It feels like their spawn value is SO LOW for an armored enemy

which annoys me when they get the duplicator/speed up

Of course they're easy without any armored perks, just annoying, especially in than rooms and when the game decides your GY should be awful

Been playing this game on a fightstick 😎🤘

cosmic stone
#

What’s a fight stick?

robust scaffold
#

its a stick for fighting games

#

like those u see in arcades

next anchor
#

Anyone else think biome progression would be an awesome addition?

cosmic stone
#

Oh

#

And what do you mean?

next anchor
#

Meaning the biome has advanced appearance and chance of change, like in A Robot Named Fight, killing all the bosses in the "city" biome unlocks the chance to encounter "The Black Forest" biome instead of city

#

Each biome in that game has at least 1 additional variant which comes with new enemies and bosses

#

The Binding of Isaac also does this

median cosmos
#

does exclusive access work with ||pom blossom||?

sharp fossil
#

does exclusive access work with pom blossom?
@median cosmos it has no interaction; exclusive access is the duo which makes all future boons rare at minimum

#

you probably mean sweet nectar, which increases the effects of poms by 1

#

sadly the answer is no; ||level upgrades from the pom blossom do not count as poms||

#

also i just realised that ||pom blossom|| is a spoiler in this channel, so you should probably tag it

bronze ravine
#

it took the acorn but I somehow managed to clear the last boss without taking a single damage

#

feels good

sharp fossil
#

acorn wasted; should’ve taken chaos egg

#

nah but legit congrats

#

hit less boss best boss

bronze ravine
#

thank you, thank you

#

it was my first clear with hidden spear too

woeful lotus
#

Nice

bronze ravine
#

found the perfect way to deal with the downside of this weapon

#

just don't get hit

#

hypnos would be proud of me

woeful lotus
#

I still think downside is abit steep but its a fun weapon to use

bronze ravine
#

*spoil that, we can't talk about the content of those hidden aspects

#

imo, the main problem is that ||the spin is such a pain to use||

woeful lotus
#

I really wish there was a button you could assing to those 2nd attacks

#

The whole thing where you stab before charging just feel weird

bronze ravine
#

yeah

robust sundial
#

Hypnos : "- Have you tried... Not getting hit by them ?"

#

still my favourite line from the game.

Yes, Hypnos, I have tried. I'll have you know this was not my first rodeo through Elysium

either that or regular sword, both are rly fun imo

did you unlock/try all aspects yet?

woeful olive
#

i'm still realllly new, so there'll be more to test out later

#

rn i'm powering up vanilla sword to get max affinity with skelly

bronze ravine
#

for reference, hidden aspects have a different moveset/ play style from the og aspects

woeful olive
#

yeah so i've heard

bronze ravine
#

so def worth a try, you might find one that will suit you like a glove

woeful olive
#

of course, i just wanna max out my skelly affinity before i go for any more unlocks lol

#

it's already taken SO MUCH TIME

bronze ravine
#

haha

woeful olive
#

i'm trying to reach max bouldy affinity too

#

*or sisyphus, kinda both at once

bronze ravine
#

sisyphus then, there is no affinity with bouldy

#

there is a meme buff tho

woeful olive
#

please tell me the nectar i've been gifting bouldy isn't for naught

bronze ravine
#

well, you get a random minor buff for the duration of the run and the pride of believing in bouldy, with bouldy believing in you

woeful olive
#

ohh

#

that's cute lol

bronze ravine
#

well, from an efficiency point of view it really is a waste of nectar unless you've maxed out everything else

woeful olive
#

yeah lmao

#

i'll stop doing that

#

i wanna get max affinity with thanatos for his ridiculous companion too

#

and, well

#

you know 😳

bronze ravine
#

I'm at locked heart with him, I think I can only wait for the right dialogue to pop out

woeful olive
#

i'm at that with skelly :/

#

have all the requirements filled out, just need him to initiate the quest with the sword

bronze ravine
#

I've got his companion as well as dusa's

woeful olive
#

nice

bronze ravine
#

for the others I'm kinda stuck until they are willing to give it to me

woeful olive
#

i'm going for his and sisyphus's for now

yeah damn

I have the requirements for sisyphus, now it's the rng to find him again

I want them all

I actually don't know, which companion is considered 'the best'

i think meg is the best not too sure tho

bronze ravine

I've seen ppl say that bouldy is best thanks to healing

robust scaffold
#

its useless cos ||LC4|| zaglol

bronze ravine
#

sounds about right

#

I would still use it atm and for a while because it gives resources

#

each run is a farm run, always

robust scaffold
#

i guess it gives a lot of darkness if ur farming

#

use it 5 times

bronze ravine
#

granted I don't know how much it gives, and I won't have the ambrosia to upgrade it

bronze ravine
#

I'm trying to fulfill the requirements for || post credit epilogue chapter|| and it's pretty much taking everything I have since I don't know how far I have to go

o.o

#

||just give ambrosia to 5 olympians + persephone + hades||

#

from what i know

bronze ravine
#

noted

#

so it's better to ||focus on the same 5 olympians|| right?

#

also I heard that you need to get some more dialogues with ||zeus and demeter||

#

Is there any way to quit in the final area before the final fight? thought it was fine to just close the game, come back and start back at the house of hades...

bronze ravine
#

not sure why you want to quit, but you can select 'give up' in the pause menu to get back to the house, but you will lose whatever you got during the run since it will reload your save to before you started

wintry spindle
#

it saves when you finish a region

#

I believe

hard pier
#

Eris isn't really fun once you recognize that it's just a press attack to win button if built correctly

west grove
#

I wanted to take a brief break before fighting the final boss

#

oh well, I'll just go get myself killed since I def don't want that same seed

bronze ravine
#

oh, you can just select quit instead of giving up iirc

west grove
#

you can't there

bronze ravine
#

and you can close the game

#

just close the game

west grove
#

that's what I said I did

bronze ravine
#

it's saved every room

west grove
#

and it started me back at the house of hades instead of there

bronze ravine
#

that's weird

#

maybe the last room is an exception then

west grove
#

I don't know why it would be really but I'll make note to just quit right before it if I think I need a break soon

bronze ravine
#

I will keep that in mind too

hard pier
#

Just finish the run, it's usually safer

#

Or pause the game and tab out

proven slate
#

Try to quit in the chamber with the fountain and ||changing keepsakes||

#

That too

west grove
#

yeh I'll keep that in mind

astral swift
#

You can't quit when you're just before a boss chamber

#

You have to beat the boss

hard pier
#

Ye, and if you select the quit button it usually asks if you're sure, it shows when it's last saved usually

#

The rooms in between the areas are safe enough

west grove
#

yeh I've quit before midrun, but didn't know that was a before every boss thing

#

Quitting mid run usually knocks me out of the flow, if I get back in the next day I usually die right quick xD

Hopefully I'll win anyway, we'll see

west grove
#

well, nothing knocks the wind more than losing an entire run before the last fight 🤷‍♂️ ill just take a break

#

||Styx|| has ways to do that even without you quitting, to be fair xD

wintry spindle
#

Still has the damage boost I guess

west grove
#

nah I like || styx ||

hard pier
#

Nah the poison is annoying

west grove
#

I've never had a problem with it really, the worst part is the laser spam

hard pier
#

That, and the poison

#

I usually panic if poisoned

Which leads to me not finding the antivenom thingy

Which leads to me taking unnecessary hits

So I wanted to do War-God's Bloodlust favor for Ares. But I don't know how to trigger it? Last time I check pool in Zag room, I slain at least 1400 enemies

I wonder for some time now. Since Ares has a favor quest. Does rest of Gods have one too? I still have a lot of main Fates quests to do but I finish main story line two days ago and now I plan to do characters favors in meantime

I was also wondering about characters models. I mean, I am hobbyist artist. I like to have models references to charaters I draw. Guys from House are easy since you can see them.

for legendary, there is a perk increasing your chance but still pure rng

I think I need get boons in some order to get legendary right?

Or its just depends on luck?

they may have their requirements, might want to check to wiki to know what exactly

||each rank you put on buffs the bosses going up, furies then hydra then heroes then the final boss||

wintry spindle
#

||Yeah you gotta be aware of Theseus but all his attacks are telegraphed really clearly, he's not hard to dodge. The real threat is Asterius' new AOE||

||You also gotta kite him around when he's spinning so he doesn't corner you, but that's not too hard when you get it down||

Ah, I see. Thanks

It's funny how you have to pay for the privilege of ||buffing Hades||

wintry spindle
#

||EM4 is just evil. I had a pretty good build but I couldn't overcome him||

robust scaffold
#

just get hit less

#

good advice from hypnos

wintry spindle
dim nest
#

I kinda wish the Steam achievements had trackers

#

like Home Makeover specifically

robust scaffold
#

a big part of why hes so hard is cos ||he gets one more hp bar which is 50% more hp||

thick crypt
#

yeet, 3 duo boons in 1 run:
Hunting Blades with Mirage Shot is super OP

wintry spindle
#

||Also in his last phase he heals. I didn't know if there was a limit so I figured I just had to damage him quickly. Then I died when he had like 1/4th of the last health bar left||

faint flume
#

tbh blade rifts are pretty good if you use them right

robust scaffold
#

its like demeter cast

thick crypt
#

yea demeter cast is nice aswell

faint flume
#

just chucking them out in any old direction doesn't work very well for them

thick crypt
#

mirage shot gives you "double" cast (30% dmg only tho)

faint flume
#

all the casts are ok although artemis cast seems to be on the weaker side of em imo

#

flood shot is so fun tho

thick crypt
#

hunting blades helps with seaking foes tho

faint flume
#

it's like a grenade or something, so fun

thick crypt
#

i got Chiron bow with Artemis Special, max arrows +4 arrows on hammer...

#

marked etc

dim nest
#

I think Athena cast is my least favorite one purely because it's fully defensive

#

not that it doesn't have its uses, I just like having the god demolish people more

faint flume
#

artemis cast relies a tonne on crits

thick crypt
#

also, exclusive access is kinda nice, getting all epic boons

dim nest
#

I meant to type call not cast

#

y'all get the idea

faint flume
#

her cast is alright anyhow

#

athena's that is

#

decent damage, and you can chuck it straight at someone and have them hurt themselves

thick crypt
#

started my run with poseidons legendary fishing boon, which helped me get poseidons exlusive access and mirage shot

dense ice
#

Athena's call is my favourite because it doesn't stop you from attacking normally

#

whereas I've always found e.g. Poseidon's call unwieldy

faint flume
#

none of them do really other than ares and poseidon

thick crypt
#

lul another duo boon... splitting headache (cuz i have dio's dash)

dense ice
#

(good, but unwieldy)

faint flume
#

poseidon is good but you do need to get used to it yeh

dense ice
#

zeus call is pretty attack-focused

dim nest
#

I think you're guaranteed to get the Poseidon legendary at some point after the ||rod of fishing|| right? I get it the immediate run after I think

faint flume
#

fun as well

dim nest
#

or did I just get lucky

faint flume
#

immediate run after I think yeh

frigid scarab
#

is it smarter to level up one or 2 things or to try and level up each boon

hard pier
#

Wha?

frigid scarab
#

is it smarter in a run

#

to level up a few boons

#

instead of everything

hard pier
#

Poms have diminishing returns, but you should try and focus them on actually useful boons, yeah

#

Really depends on the rarity

#

For white boons I sometimes even invest 3 poms if they are really important to my build

#

Otherwise it's buyers choice

woeful lotus
#

some boons just scale alot harder aswell

hard pier
#

You won't see huge increases in the crit chance from pressure points, for example

woeful lotus
#

one run i randomly managed to get PP up to heroic and somehow managed to get it to 10%

robust scaffold
#

theres no point in upgrading rarity of pressure points

#

pom are much better for that

hard pier
#

Managing to get the Dio and Poseidon Duo before getting PP can help a lot tho

#

Such coincidences are nice coincidences

supple bear
#

so uh quick question. i'll put it in spoiler just in case
||since i've gotten the true ending i've been unable to walk around outside, so i assume that i don't have a chance to catch more fish from the outside then? i haven't gotten the 3rd fish and i haven't completed the entries for the other two in the first place. it kinda sucks since i wanted to complete the whole codex. is there a way to go out and fish or no? ||

woeful lotus
#

they sometimes spawn in the final boss area

supple bear
#

oh that's good to know

#

but that seems to give it less of a chance since when i go outside there's more possible places

woeful lotus
#

yeah thats prolly the case

robust sundial
#

haven't seen ||a single fish up in the garden. All of my "greece" catch are from Hades' Fight "room"||

||I've only caught one fish from the surface and it's been in the spot right after you leave the Hades fight||

sullen dagger
#

Does the lambent plume not work in Styx?

karmic oasis
#

IIRC it tallies it at the end of each tunnel, not each room

#

I think thats the same for the Pierced Butterfly

brisk trail
#

yeah otherwise it'd get ridiculous

#

tho it works with a post credits keepsake

karmic oasis
#

other per-encounter boon triggers do though, like the Hermes coin gain per room

sullen dagger
#

Yeah I've got both

brisk trail
#

and charon's well items deplete too

karmic oasis
#

but the plume and butterfly do not

#

@brisk trail That one is the worst one to me haha

#

I know WHY its like that, but I hate getting an early well and never get another one

#

watch my fancy buffs evaporate before FB

brisk trail
#

yeah it hurts hehe
tho I once got lucky enough to bring eye of lamia to the final boss

#

now if only it triggered when needed

hard pier
#

For some reason I sometimes read ||"Greece" as grease||

sullen dagger
#

Hmmm. I guess it would be kinda broken

#

Got up to 23.2% dodge which in theory should be better than acorn but it did not feel like that.

hard pier
#

Acorn is guaranteed for x hits

#

Dodge is just a chance

#

And a chance is never guaranteed

sullen dagger
#

tbf it wasnt EM4 so he did die very quickly and i didnt get hit much anyway

hard pier
#

The best way to dodge is doing it yourself imo

sullen dagger
#

further testing is required

#

and better luck. got like 2 or 3 rooms in elysium that just said yep! have some armoured greatshields

void walrus
#

Elysium is a cruel, cruel place

quaint hatch
#

Yeah getting plume from mini rooms would be a bit too stronk

dense ice
#

works for the post-credit keepsake though

#

I think it could work if the timer was super short

quaint hatch
#

Yeah but boon levels is something different than dodge power wise

#

Because dodge is additive and you'd get like 10% dodge per styx tunnel

robust scaffold
#

how does plume work? how fast must u clear lvls

dense ice
#

there's a timer in the bottom left superimposed on the keepsake

robust scaffold
#

oh

dense ice
#

not sure if there's a specific number of seconds or anything

sullen dagger
#

It feels like more enemies = longer

quaint hatch

It scales kind off

oh dear god it would be really nice if the movement speed chaos thing was only in combat

Hey folks. Has anyone got locked aspects on their weapons still and if you do, would you mind sending me a screenshot of the screen? (PM, as it appears this channel doesn't accept image upload)

I've got all mine unlocked and wanted to show an image to a friend, but not leak dat infos

Wanted to show the whole screen to point stuff out

Start a new file

Aspect unlocks aren't available for a number of runs 😦

Eh just farm 10 keys or so

Not being lazy, just thought if someone had the capacity to assist, I'd appreciate it

Then give up runs

u need more than 10 lol

im a fast learner and i got used to the game fast but then thigns kept changing

would loveto see Thanatos' Sythe as a weapon honestly

stone pebble

yeah

earnest coral

and i honestly would love to have a new floor, game feels like it needs just one more floor somehow

stone pebble

It'd be like an extra floor

#

the one you don

#

't

#

have to do

earnest coral
#

Hades honestly opens new doors to a whole franchise, now imagine the same concept but for different Mythologies

quiet gull
#

SSG have mentioned that they like where clear times are at now and don't want to increase run play time

earnest coral

like Norse one for expl

that's understandable

Hello. I never played rogue like game and I was a bit scared the few hours but I really fell in love for this game despite being a huge rpg player more than anything. The story is amazing and I just. Really love it. And it's amazing it have this nice little God mod like for newbie who just want to enjoy the story

stone pebble

Glad ya like it

quaint hatch

@earnest coral sheesh

you're in for one hell of a ride

am quite decent at it, tho never had the chance to use the words " Sythe " or " Norse " in my life, ever lol

Btw it's scythe

native pivot

c is silent

quaint hatch

Nah no worries m8

stone pebble

huh

It says here that the grim reaper uses the scythe to scare people to death

Whenever I read stuff like that I just shudder a bit xDD

Which is entirely my problem

#

Obvs

brisk trail
#

Hades wasn't that bad

#

It was alright

rancid ember
#

What's required to meet Thanatos?

#

Wiki just says he shows up randomly during encounters

#

But I haven't seen him at all

brisk trail
#

Yes

#

It's pretty much random

#

I've seen him appear mostly on the 2nd and 3rd acts

#

Ok buddy type it out

rancid ember
#

Hmm, okay... I guess I haven't had that many runs that have gone into Asphodel and Elysium yet. Maybe romancing him will be less horribly difficult than it seems lol

#

???

tired merlin
#

the difficulty in romancing him is waiting for him to show up

brisk trail
#

Yeah just keep playing and he will show up eventually

#

Also

rancid ember
#

I do hope it'll take less than 1,000 runs lol

brisk trail
#

He will start appearing in the lobby sometimes

stable night
#

isn't one of the triggers that you have to take damage on the run for him to appear?

brisk trail
#

So you can romance without finding him

stable night
#

so go get bruised up a little haha

rancid ember
#

Oh, good to know!

tired merlin
#

oh yeah you have to take at least one hit for him to show

brisk trail
#

What a weird requirement but ok

stable night
#

he didn't roll up until run #14 or so for me, but i've also heard people say they didn't get him until 40+ runs in

rancid ember
#

I've never not taken many, many hits (or even cleared Elysium) so, lol

tired merlin
#

well the premise is that he shows up to help

rancid ember
#

I'm at like. 50 runs and haven't gotten him

brisk trail
#

That's so weird

#

How

tired merlin
#

have you talked to everyone whenever possible?

stable night
#

yeah, when you do meet him and get his keepsake, his trigger condition becomes more clear (:

rancid ember
#

I have definitely talked to everyone whenever possible

stable night
#

how far have you gone in elysium?

#

you have to make it to the 3-4 chamber or so for his first appearance

rancid ember
#

I've made it to Theseus twice

quiet gull
#

It's random, yeah. I had more than 20 runs and a few clears before he showed up

#

Though that was before the patch

stable night
#

oh yeah... sounds like just bad RNG then

coral prawn
#

Is Cerberus technically a god 🤔

#

or just some random giant immortal dog that guards hell

#

with three heads

stable night
#

i think the codex lists him under "others of note" rather than chthonic gods, so... guess not?

coral prawn
#

yeah but i dont mean ingame

#

cerberus isint a original character from the game
yaknow

like hades, zeus, all those kinda characters weren't created by this game

#

im tlaking about real life lore of the gods

stable night
#

oh yeah of course, but it was a reasonable assumption that you were talking about hades!cerberus

austere jacinth
#

Yeah. The game creates its own versions of those mythological characters. In the 'real life' lore, things are much messier.

rancid ember
#

Cerberus is best doggo, that's what he is

coral prawn
#

alot of the gods in this game are gods ive heard of and stuff, like i know of the boatman who deliveres souls to the underworld, the god of lightning, the god of the underworld, the god of the sea, etc

austere jacinth
#

Cerberus, at the very least, is the spawn of a god (Typhon)

coral prawn
#

the only place ive ever heard of hermes is from terraria

theres an item called hermes boots what makes oyu run fast

#

i never thought that hermes was a name of someone

rancid ember
#

Man, hasn't even watched Disney's Hercules, what a shame

coral prawn
#

out of the 8 years ive played terraria

austere jacinth
#

Hermes is an Olympian and the god of trade, heralds, speed etc. etc. He's also a psychopomp ❤️

coral prawn
#

actually

#

i kind of watched it

rancid ember
#

(of course, Disney's Hercules isn't even accurate to the lore lol )

coral prawn
#

waht

#

o

#

I kinda watched it tho because some of my friends like doing real time fandubbing and i participated

#

but as youd expect i only saw the video

#

no audio

austere jacinth
#

All of the characters in Hades are based upon myths from ancient Greece. As are most of the Aspects.

coral prawn
#

mhm

austere jacinth
#

I'm kinda surprised you'd only ever heard of Hermes from Terraria before now. But then, having never played Terraria, I didn't know about the reference xDD

coral prawn
#

well

#

i only heard the name

#

"hermes boots" is the item in terraria

#

and its practically the most essential item in the game besides wings

you cannot have a character without those boots or wings

#

it makes you run much faster

#

otherwise you are as slow as a goddamn snail and you will die

#

to the most simple creatures cause you are so slow, you cant even fight the easiest boss in the game without dying unless you use cheap tricks

#

and again for some reason i never even once thought that the boots were a reference to someone named hermes

#

i had no idea what "hermes" meant but i just took it as it is

#

never once did i think it was someones name

#

untill i found hermes in the game hades and for like a minute i was like " WHERE DID I HEAR THAT WORD/NAME FROM BEFORE "

austere jacinth
#

xDD. I think there are probably a lot of items in a lot of games that reference Hermes. Lots of winged boots.

#

Hermes is my fave Olympian in Hades, though Ares is pretty close. ^^

glass flame
#

psssssssssssssssssssssst

rancid ember
#

Pfff, niiice. I just beat Alecto without going below 82 HP at any point in the run so far. Aegis is super nice but I think I'm also getting better at the game :D

austere jacinth
#

Yay! Progress. Well done.

rancid ember
#

Progress is lovely. It feels really good to keep getting better and making notable progress

#

This is not actually a feeling I generally experience with turn-based roguelikes xD

#

For some reason those always, uh. Seem to have progress be much much slower

#

I've never actually beaten a roguelike before, even though I've been playing off and on for 11ish years

austere jacinth
#

I'm rather new to the genre, but Hades is just superb. I have no regrets. It definitely felt good to progress.

coral prawn
#

Ive played enter the gungeon and the binding of issac so im not new to this genre but this game is unique it took me a while to get used to it

austere jacinth
#

I just dove straight in and didn't stop for like, 200 hours xDD

#

I love the characters and story, and the gameplay is very addictive.

rancid ember
#

Hmm. I wonder if I'll regret getting food and a Zeus boon instead of a Daedalus hammer from Charon...

#

(I tend to babble incessantly about things on my mind when playing a game >>; Hopefully it's not too much bother)

#

...okay. I clearly don't actually know what I'm doing with the hydra.

#

It feels easy but I'm actually taking absurd amounts of damage

#

I just lost three death defiances to it lol

It's like, death by a thousand cuts to terrain effects and headsmashing

No blood invested gauntlets with a Demeter focus clear let's goo

Only one of Cerberus' heads like pets

Zagreus says

"Atleast one of you heads like these pets!"

#

"If I only pet your head, you promise to not bite my arm off?"

I mean, we could also see a "Zagreus getting chewed like a squeak toy" animation in that case

#

"Ow! I'm sorry, okay! Owww...."

after a while, of course

#

YES I finally met Thanatos

I think the reason I hadn't met him is because I'd only been to Elysium a few times and you have to first encounter him there. The dialogue includes references to "exalted ones" which seems Elysium specific

My friend really likes the adamant rail, but I cant stand it - I love the shield

The rail is lovely for me~

ocean ice
#

Its just like combat style, cause i really enjoy constantly dashing and smacking enemies

#

While they prefer ranged combat

spark gate
#

I'm curious what people think, what's your preferred strategy for spending Titan Blood? Do you spread it out among various aspects you use, focus specifically on the aspects that get the most important bonuses, rush to unlock the hidden aspects?

carmine ravine
#

use an aspect to farm other aspects

ocean ice
#

I still havent unlocked the hidden aspects

carmine ravine
#

the hidden aspects is mostly for more daring players imo

ocean ice
#

Well ive "beaten" the main story (I think?) so now ill prob start on doing more of the optional stuff that i didnt finish

carmine ravine
#

u beaten the main story if u got ||the feast||

ocean ice
#

Idk what that is, so prob not. I just ||got mom back home||

#

I know theres a ton of content after

carmine ravine
#

os midway i guess, at least u saw the credits

ocean ice
#

Yeah, thats why I assumed/considered it as the end

spark gate
#

So basically, you'd say to invest heavily in one, and then use that one to farm higher and higher difficulties for more blood?

stone pebble
#

THATS ONLY MIDWAY?

#

damn

cloud apex
#

Well, I'd say two thirds

agile cargo
#

oh dam didnt expect to see crabbar

#

also iirc its also incredibly hard for the devs to animate zag petting cerberus' other heads bc that would involve him being behind part of cerbs model

#

to ppl who were talking about why cerbs other heads cant be petted

deep lintel
#

i still have no idea how to get the bouldy companion

carmine ravine
#

he cant even reach them

#

do sisyphus prophecy @deep lintel

faint flume
#

The real reason Zag only pets the one head is because Cerby only likes one head being petted

carmine ravine
#

*only that one cerby head likes to be petted

deep lintel
#

it just says find a way to pardon him, ive given tons of nectar to him and his boulder

faint flume
#

Nah, the way Zag refers to it is “You don’t like your other heads being petted, do you”

#

Implying all the heads are one thing rather than all separate entities on one body

#

yeah, u shouldve got ||the contract from the admin room after nyx told you about it|| @deep lintel

how do ppl even play the vinyl in normal environments

coral prawn
#

When did hades release btw?
I never would of found this game if it didint blow up onto the no.1 spot in the nintendo switch eshops bestselling

#

usually when a game like this blows up and it isn't even on sale i usually buy it ( if its a indie game )

#

same happened with a game called carrion

carmine ravine
#

carrion is pretty short tho

coral prawn
#

I still really enjoyed carrion

#

one of my favorite metroidvanias ( if its not a metroidvania then come fight me LetMeAtThem )

#

but anyways when did hades release roughly

carmine ravine
#

2018/2019 iirc

#

fresh out of EA oven this year

coral prawn
#

huh?

#

what about EA

carmine ravine
#

early access

they go by EA

I used to have one of those things that can play vinyl's

pliant sparrow

rip i accidentally sold an epic boon key to my build after elysium and had to get it back as a common :(

coral prawn
#

have yall ever just...
used the basic sword with the Lv 5 thingy so that you have +25% movement speed, used the feather hermes gives you, get a epic boon of movement speed (+40% ) and then get 2 +20% from one of the small shop thingys

i was so fast my dash was worse than just walking

#

so in total i had roughly... +130% movement speed

carmine ravine
#

but walking dont give you iframes

coral prawn
#

yea ik

but no need to dodge if you can run across the map before the enemy even has its attack out

just get good timing and reaction skills irl smh my head

yes run across the map with a melee weapon

tall heath

bronze ravine
#

@tall heath if it's a bug maybe report it to #h1-tech-support , might avoid the problem to others

high island
#

No, it doesn't count as a status curse.

#

Doom works, yes.

stone pebble
#

DOOOM

woeful olive
#

doom is busted

#

had a sword run where neutral attack gave epic lv.3 doom with the stack boon, the Athena/Ares duo boon, and reflect on my special

hushed lintel
#

my pc crashed while doing a run

#

it goes going pretty well too

#

so ya know thats a thing that happened today

woeful olive
#

F

astral swift
#

You know when you pick up a daedalus hammer that just bouldy makes you regret da run

#

All for the prophecy bouldy

hushed lintel
#

relatable and sad

stone pebble
#

Thats why you dont do heat when going for prophecies

vague viper
#

i have no idea what weapon unlocks to prioritize now

hushed lintel
#

Thats why you dont do heat when going for prophecies
@stone pebble how do you make it so you get prohecies??

#

its random

stone pebble
#

wait what

hushed lintel
#

?

stone pebble
#

like going for specific prophecies

hushed lintel
#

ye

#

how you make that happen

vague viper
#

like is chaos shield annoying? i dont really bull rush

#

normally

stone pebble
#

if you dont bull rush, you arent blocking, the main purpose of the shield

vague viper
#

yea i dont rly like the shield. im not in the habit of standing still to block as opposed to moving out of the way

stone pebble
#

the shield blocks everything

astral swift
#

If I could tell past me that I'd slowly fall in love with Stygius, I think they'd be shocked thanthink

delicate pilot
#

when it says I have to ||beat Charon twice in a row|| is that twice without skipping a chance or twice without dying to them

midnight sigil
#

This is the first time Hades say "Well done boy" to me and I'm crying T^T I love papa Hades so much zagluv

woeful lotus
#

I do really like the way their relationship progress

hushed lintel
#

is good

dusky estuary
#

Might want to spoiler tag that.

sullen dagger
#

Without dying I'm pretty sure

proven slate
#

i don't bull rush with the shield, i just keep swinging lol

woeful lotus
#

i feel like that is abit extream to call a spoiler but to each their own

hushed lintel
#

same

woeful lotus
#

it takes abit getting used to the bullrush

#

same with the spin on the spear

proven slate
#

I used it all the time at first but now I'm just a button masher giving myself carpal tunnel

woeful lotus
#

heh

#

shield is by far my least liked weapon honestly

proven slate
#

I liked it at first because of the block but yeah

#

It feels really slow to use the bullrush

cobalt prairie
#

I like shield because of how satisfactory it is to block every single projectile of a boss

woeful lotus
#

yeah they really should have had a button to use the 2ndary attacks for shield and spear

proven slate
#

I also need to get in the habit of picking boons even if they aren't epic or above

#

I keep skipping attack boons and it ruins my runs

#

xD

dusky estuary
#

Langosta! 👋

woeful lotus
#

well its fine not to have one if thats not your focus

cobalt prairie
#

Oh hi!

proven slate
#

I only use attack so, yeah it's a problem

woeful lotus
#

yeah that might be a issue

dusky estuary
#

Shield or fist attack with deflect is pretty funny.

woeful lotus
#

once you have the mirror and rerolls tho its rather easy to get atleast rare

proven slate
#

I love shield and fist with deflect

woeful lotus
#

Fist and Rail are my faves

proven slate
#

But I'm trying to stop using Athena so I get better

woeful lotus
#

she is abit of a crutch

proven slate
#

I have two rerolls but I'm trying to get more diamonds for side story progression

#

Otherwise I'd be going for darkness

woeful lotus
#

meh its not like you are in a rush

proven slate
#

Pre much

#

I'm swapping between farming resources and just pushing higher heat levels on all my weapons

#

Accidentally did less healing instead of enemies had more health last run. That was... an experience.

woeful lotus
#

thats pretty much the best way to do it id imagine i went the trade route cause i just wanted the titan bloods

#

but then when that became available there wasnt much to spend ambrosia on so

dry mauve
#

giving more hp to enemies is one of the more-bad things to turn on imo

vague viper
#

yea i didnt trade any ambrosia cuz ppl told me i should savce it

#

and im glad i did

dry mauve
#

that option gives extra hp to bosses as well and most players wipe on bosses, so making those fights longer is bad

kindred granite
#

Guys, I've à question, since I finish the story hades isn't in his chair anymore, and I apparently need to talk to him to unlock sisyphus

woeful lotus
#

yeah hp is honestly one of the rougher ones especially with EM

#

he will come back

proven slate
#

Which ones are the easy ones then?

kindred granite
#

Alright, and once I talked to hades and meg about sisyphus, the thing that cost 10 diamonds will unlock automatically or I need to talk to Sissy once again?

woeful lotus
#

well easiest one is prolly TD and the trap one

kindred granite
#

And is dying quickly is a good idea to talk to hades?

dry mauve
#

the trap option is awful

#

do not take it until you are at high heat and have no choice

#

its only 1 point but it can instantly kill your run in styx

proven slate
#

I run into traps liked a bull to a red cape

#

Traps isn't an option for me

#

lol

woeful lotus
#

well in that case avoid it 😛

dry mauve
#

the trap one makes styx traps do 100+ damage, and the urns in the last fight do 150

proven slate
#

Most of my runs damage is me going head first into a trap while I melt enemies

dry mauve
#

if you even run into 1 on accident then you can kill an otherwise good run

woeful lotus
#

it depends abit on weapons aswell but for fast hitting ones the immunity to the first hits one is not too bad

proven slate
#

Oh right I forgot about that one lol

woeful lotus
#

same with the extra enemy spawn and weapons with good aoe

dry mauve
#

I would recommend:
Extreme Measures
Benefits Package
Middle Management
Tight Deadline

woeful lotus
#

i hate benefits package

dry mauve
#

EM4 and TD3 can be hard

#

but the other levels are generally fine to take

#

and BP/MM are relatively simple to take

woeful lotus
#

EM is pretty good in general since you can get alot heat out of it by itself

cobalt haven
#

yay i got a new record :D

barren ocean
#

NICE!

And is dying quickly is a good idea to talk to hades?
@kindred granite
Dying earlier can be a strat for unlocking dialogue, but rngggg

brisk trail
#

Also dying early will only help if you've progressed enough to get through more dialogue, you might as well just keep doing runs and getting more stuffs

ornate summit
#

I'm actually doing runs to farm Darkness and Gemstones

#

There's something funny about getting 600+ Darkness from the final boss.

#

Think that run alone got over a thousand Darkness in total.

brisk trail
#

The darkness gems, and diamonds crunch is real

#

I need so many diamonds 😭

ornate summit
#

I need Titan Blood but also Darkness

brisk trail
#

I need both of those, but all the weapons I like are maxed already, but I keep leveling for the same reason I need 34 diamonds for music

astral swift
#

Me trying to figure out how to defeat those ||extra soul dropping monsters||bouldy

brisk trail
#

I've got soul but I'm not a soldier.

#

If I'm not mistaken @astral swift ||only kill the ones that don't blink, those explode on their own||

quaint hatch
#

Yep

#

Only a concern when you're on a strict timer ig

astral swift
#

:0

#

Now I gotta pay attention bouldy

brisk trail
#

That's true, the waiting can screw up times and lambent plume sometimes

astral swift
#

My problem is they immediately scatter like roaches shadegrief

#

So I gotta dash like mad to see where they go

quaint hatch
#

The only one that's important is the non purple blinking

brisk trail
#

Yeah the rest explode by themselves

rancid ember
#

get Kiss of Styx Premium
immediately lose three death defiances to one normal chamber

#

fantastic job, me

#

truly

#

Relatedly, I hate Greatshields

faint flume
#

greatshields are as bad as flamewheels

shy tartan
#

aquick question: what are the gods final favors? just talking to them alot? or are they different?

robust scaffold
#

i think theyre different

||can zagreus break the statues in the east wing ?||

I wanna see him poke it and watch it fall apart ahah

rancid ember

I like how the reward for getting all the duo boons is 15 ambrosia as if you won't have all the ambrosia you'd ever need by the time you can get all those duo boons lol

#

Though

#

I guess you can trade it for Titan Blood

cobalt haven
#

ahhh

Hades is our first game with a big fully-voiced cast of characters! Our voice cast includes actors we've loved working with for years, plus some incredible talent who joined us to help bring our characters to life. Here's a quick hello from everybody! (Minor spoilers) #HadesG...

stone pebble
#

whats your build rn

oak pier
#

Getting 32 heat has been a pain

toxic mortar
#

fists with zeus attack and posidoen special

oak pier
#

The only weapon I've maxed heat on is the bow

#

Those two can be procced with the status effect boons

#

The double status effect bonus damage buff

toxic mortar
#

good run ;-;

oak pier
#

I usually always aim to get at least two status effects in my build

next anchor
#

i dont know why but i dont like the bow

oak pier
#

There's an aspect of the bow that makes the special home in on enemies

#

Chiron

next anchor
#

4th aspect?

toxic mortar
#

i prefer shield

oak pier
#

Aspect of Chiron

next anchor
#

shield is my best one also

toxic mortar
#

gonna love flexing into a bow charge mid run

oak pier
#

Like I said, it is the only weapon I've seemed to get all 20 heat

#

32 heat is... how do I say

#

feasable?

agile saddle
#

I have 20 heat on all weps but still hate Rail and dislike shield

oak pier
#

Understandable

agile saddle
#

Rail just feel so clunky and shield is boring

hey anyone have any good tips for harsh conditions? pm if spoilers or smth idk

ripe herald
#

I just wanna say, HADES is my comfort game rn. I'm so stressed with work, school and life, a single run could cool me down

#

I'm a pretty fidgety person when anxious and just breaking my fingers from dodging attacks or attacking really released that energy lol

stone pebble

Trueeeeee
