Is it just me or some runs do you just get way less coins than others? Independently of chamber rewards. Especially in Asphodel
Wow I feel like I've had hella good performance this run. I've beaten Lernie and I have all DDs remaining, 99/250 HP. And Lernie was tough this time too, was spamming those scary eggs
lol zagreus didnt start calling the bone hydra lernie for me until like the 58th run
Same - some elements took a while.
Which isn't too bad unless it's a companion related thing
i still haven't gotten pat's story completed...
dude just doesn't wanna show up for me
I had the opposite problem, didnt progress Pat's story because I just didnt need him whenever he showed up
what do you mean you didnt need him?
What he offers is free..
you could always use +60% to attacks
Yeah, like just doing a special or cast run? Maybe a hammer?
I mean when his room is offered next to something else
Like a boon
Ah. I guess
+60% Attack isnt even THAT good if you cant take it to the final boss
I walked out of chaos while there was a fishin point
And if I dont need the DDs and have full health
bruh moment
There are fishing points in chaos?
Gonna need a new desk after i break it with my face
Those seem like...expensive fish
just need those 3 fish
prob get a diamond or something for it
They give large aounts of darkness, yes
you must let go
Nope! new seed
nah
You'll have to do every single input the exact same
nope
Good luck
i gotta stop dashing out so fast
Yeah apparently the Chaos fish only have like a 7% chance to spawn, and only if you haven't gotten another fishing point within the last 5 chambers. Unless you've managed to get Poseidon's legendary fishing boon
This also means that the chance of getting a legendary fish, if you can consistently get rares, at any given Chaos room is at best 1 in 300. Assuming it's possible for the fish to spawn at that point :D
(unless, again, legendary fishing boon. Which a little under quadruples the chance)
? fish rarity is dependent on how fast you fish it
Legendary is 1/21 of rare
according to wiki
If you do it fast enough to get at least a rare you have a 1/21 chance to get Legendary
Wiki does have some out of date info
But unless someone else feels like digging around code, it's the best we got
you could always get a first room chaos, and then change the seed everytime you go into the chaos room
people of chat
yes
i did first clear so now im ofisialy not noob
good job!
How many runs did it take you?
50
I'm past 80 and I still haven't done it lol but I just put on God Mode, so
...oh yeah I'd forgotten I put on God Mode
That probably has something to do with my having so much HP left XD
Yes
can u get like avrige salmon or someting
Salmon are not found in Greece, I think?
mfw
?
whel basicaly
||surface kills u||
and i mean thats kinda sad
i thought zeus sayed that he was gonna invite u to olympus
big disapoint
is there sheet music for the game?
i would love to play On the Coast on my own instrument
I fully maxed every single bonus of the mirror, I can now confirm that unlocking hypnos favor is harder than that
||Demeter gave me her legendary already in tartarus||
And to think on my previous run with the gun, I took her many times, even had the prereqs, but her legendary never showed up
The prereqs I had were at the common tier but that shouldn't matter much
this is on chiron bow btw
||i just beat alecto in 20 seconds or so with hidden sword aspect ||
Fourth aspect sword
Is GODLY
it is amazing with Athena
Boons
On special and attack
I don't even think I had her keepsake on because I'm trying to max level every keepsake
Fourth aspect for sword is hype
I'm glad you like it
Here is a bonus screenshot of 4th sword: ||https://imgur.com/a/u9qzRch||
If sword is this strong then all the other hidden aspects need buffs
Like actually
well, not quite. hidden aspects power balance is quite good at the moment. if anything is underpowered, it's fists 4th. but imo, that's due to it being lessplayed than anything else
and hidden fists is fun anyway
hidden fist uppercut is really good
But they could a bit more damage
I find Chaos shield + Ares to be basically easy mode
Bow 4th actually does more damage than Sword 4th
I don't really care for the 4th aspect of bow. too slow for me
yeah, hidden bow is actually more 'heavy' than hidden sword, and also close-range with the right upgrade
Ok, asterisk to that, damage potential
It can potential get an x3 modifier, on top of a +60% damage modifier, on top of a really high base damage
How high
don't have the number but it is quite high, as expected of a bow ||with a really slow loading||
175 Powershot, But really 125 Damage
Because no one in their right mind would normal attack
Dash Strike is 125 Damage which is the more reasonable expectation
Well you will see
But technically doesn't hidden aspect gun have like 1000
Hard to compare
it's because hidden has ||shared suffering mechanic||
Just unlock stuff and enjoy!
It’s like inverse Chiron
Well i have that mechanic irl
And Bow has access to Triple/Twin Shot which essential x3 or x2 their damage
Sword doesn't have that luxury
The DPS cap is higher for Bow.
But you literally would die from point blank
and the close-range dmg buff upgrade too
If its slower than sword
it is manageable, I did it
It can and has been done
it does take some more carefulness
even with FO2 on
It's something you need to experience 😄 The game feel on 4th bow is solid
How do i catch rare fish
Do you know how to catch fish in general?
Yeah
rare fish means having a perfect catch
So you are really asking on how to Perfect Catch?
So i have to do it right as it goes down
Silly but actually legit trick: Cover the bouy with your finger
yep, use the sound
And look only for a flash of light
or that
also, there is a cap of 3 'fake' catch
so if the fish moves the buoy 3 times, the 4th will always be the catch one
Sword is my favorite weapon (fists in speed run mode are good too )
I didn’t like bow a lot at first but Chiron bow is awesome
Yeah, Hera bow is a ton of fun
What is really good with it
Like cast wise
I just got super nova and have the larger raidus (specific to fourth aspect sword ) and i just camp my little circle
Aphrodite, Dionysus, and Poseidon casts are good on Hera
I wish that the blade would glow slightly more yellow than white tho
Rail 4th has the coolest sound effects.
the special is AWESOME
Just curious, why yellow specifically
(fate the anime series has proved to me that yellow looks really good as a glow more so than white )
its more blue than just white looks like
I like blue
But it just doesn't seem right tho
With the backgrounds and stuff just clashing with the color
its pallet doesn't fit as well as most of the other weapons(not a bad thing but maybe just tone it down a bit )
Mainly the tone or shade of color
Because its like a light mode of a app
Hell yeah going into Elysium with full resources
watch as I die before champions
I am using bow lol
F in the chat
Hope you see Patty on the way
He’s so humble when he saves your run like that
Like literally
A god
A homie
A SAVER OF RUNS
Especially gun and bow runs
For me at least
Not literally a god though
Oh wow o.o Two Daedalus Hammers in Elysium... That's nice
What
Did you skip any earlier?
I think the game tries to give you one in the first two biomes and one in the other two
But it’ll try to give you two no matter what
That's weird 🤔 never have had that happen to me
Yeah it happens
I didn't get one in the first two biomes, no
welp, I died without meeting Patroclus or getting to champions lol
that's... really sad.
The enemies in Elysium are just brutal
Those spear guys are nastier than I realized
get stabbed, dash away, get stabbed again
The enemies in elysium are tanky, yeah
Also for some reason my dashes felt very sluggish... which is really odd because I didn't have any Chaos boons or anything
The little flame wheels are hard to deal with

i found it alot ezer than first
it gets easier after the first time
i did on 1 heat
first clear is one of the hardest clear
after that it's like a mental block just gone
why is that?
stuff just clicks
I mean, the extra 1000 darkness also may help
also i like how thay say "hell"
but a big part of the psychology helps
no i didn't upgrade
u know how the charicters say hell
and like there literaly in "hell"
not realy hell but like greek hell
idk, for most roguelikes that I played (and I played a decent amount), the first run takes a while
subsequent ones things are much easier
even though the upgrade difference isn't that high
i have a 2 run streek now
ah yes
for the rewards
yes i can totaly do that
bruh dont remine me
no problom
"only" 63 heat
also i got so lucky
i got npc room in elecium
when i had no death defience
and then in sticks
i got 3 of thous deatdifience drink thingys
yes
elysium?
imagin knowing how to spell
tru
big brain
and sticks where you play fetch with the doggo
yes
||actually not too too far from the truth||
i actualy dont care about spoilers
but people do aperently
hey yo
depresed orthyus started not being depresed
Rng and make sure to keep giving her Nectar
let me check, but i think more then 24 hours
well end game content is good
Because thats extremely unhealthy if 72
let me check
All i know i had played it for 90 hours within two weeks
one of which was Monday when I worked full time
You should get some sleep
no swearing in my greekian minecraft server
YOU're AXIONS WILL HAVE CONCEQUNES

Now i cant type propely
it was really fun, but i hate heat mechanic, the vanilla already feels balanced
thanks
If vanilla is balanced try dead cells
Dead cells will make you appreciate the laxness on healing
am i the only one who sorta dislikes the cast mechanic? i barely use it unless i get demeter lasar or ares spinny
Yeah
Someone hasn't had a taste of LC4
I prefer projectiles
also shield best weapon
maybe sword cause you can get healing on it
Also you haven't tried sword fouth aspect
nah
If you think shield is bestest
it's pinned in #h1-story-discussion
Also you have to unlock spear first (you dont have to buy it but you do have to have it reveled to get the other hidden aspects )
that's spoiler content 😄
oh on the sword, I'll see to it when i can, i checked reddit and it also said that the other items will get 4th aspects
that'll be an update worth waiting for
what do you play on
pc
Hey lads
Do you know whem can i use ambrosium?
that was true pre 1.0
i already finished a run
everything has 4th aspect now
it's quite far away
first time beating hades and stuff
if you just finish your first run
Im plenty runs in
check your codex
did you unlock the ||admin chamber||?
I don't know what you're talking about so i think no
Do i have to beat Hades a number of times?
just a certain amount of runs and progression i think
im not too familiar
also how are you doing with Meg and Than?
Just one nectar to both of them
eventually you can gift them ambrosia
to unlock their trinkets
yeah they are the ones you need to butter up 😄
If I had to choose between nominating Hades for Outstanding Visual or Story-Rich, which you think is most appropriate?
story rich imo
Oh, i thought i could give it to anyone who i had gifted enough nectar
I nominated for Game of the Year honestly
But between those two. story rich
Even tho the desing is amazing
I can't nominate for game of year cuz unfortunately Ori WotW came out this year
ok spoiler for that: ||eventually you can gift everyone ambrosia, but only some will give you something back||
yeah, I would say focus on Meg, Than, and Sisyphus
both are really good, but Ori is the one game that I still get glassy eyed just listening to the music in the car on the way to work
Alright, thank you very much friend
they will give you something back, which then requires even more ambrosia to upgrade
gl~
O get that feeling, same thing happened to me with Transistor
Heckin love that game
Transistor was weird for me, first completion, meh, second, I cried
Haven't played ori tho
I think the difference was in having a soulmate the second time around
i wish they ||gave zags mom a chair and not have her always standing next to cerberous||
Start with the Blind Forest as the story is continual
I'd give Hades an 11/10 but Ori a 13/10
"she's just standing there MENACINGLY"
both really really good but Ori just nicks it
can you spoiler tag that zack
that's a pretty big one
also Nyx has been hiding in a corner for a while
you would think she has a better place to stand
||Is anyone else struggling to get Poseidon’s Last heart? I’ve done everything the guide said over and over and still nothing. I have almost Everyone’s chibis by now||
I'm strugling with artemiss's
Yikes ugh lol
Anyone have any clue where best to reach out to the devs regarding a potential patch. I'd love to see the Daedalus boon be viewable on the different weapon's tabs in the codex like they are for the gods. Unless I'm just missing something and that unlocks later
I didn’t think it would take this long 🥺
anyone knows how to track the chamber count ? been looking for a nice map for a while but havent found anything that clear
you can try #test-branch-discussion I guess?
and how erebus and chaos gates interects with the chambers
i think checking your boons give you a chamber count on the top left side
Yep
For a standard run, Bosses are at 14th 24th 36th chamber
Yea
also make sure to get your petting achievement
But if you do like. Any chambers it adds one right?
counts as one of the 14 on tartarus for exemple ?
yup
axample*
though
I’ve taken a chaos one, and then instead having the shop, on 12, it gave me something else’s and then I got the final shop so boss was on 15
Might get the game, what do you guys think of it? Ive heard some good reviews. Ngl im not the biggest rogue-like player but this game looks nice
room before boss MUST be a shop
Might be wrong
yeah, you might get 15 chamber meg if you take chaos/erebus before final shop
Yea
do you think the devs will ad an endless mode? like repeating all of the chambers but keeping your boons and enemies getting harder, that would be fun
because shop must preceed boss so the game just add one chamber more
Yea
essentially
I wouldn't hold my breath tbh
dude charon slaps, why does one beat him without cheesing the shield block?
and same with the other regions right ?
don't get hit 😄

correct. Styx is a bit different. you can get lucky and find the thing quickly, or not
"just don't die"
guys what're your keepsakes strats? i usually go purse, then switch to collar, then harpy feather, lastly lucky tooth.
i think it doesn't
God God Acorn Acorn
The stock standard
what is god, i know acorn
like a god keepsake
Nice, I've been inadvertently using the same.
oh
forcing a god
yeah
depending on weapon
|| If you gift gods a nectar they'll give you a keepsake, that will force their boon and also increase rarity based on level of keepsake||
i like the early gold i get, if i ever choose a god keepsake it'll probably be hermes snd use my reroll to get side hustle
on wikia says that: in styx, u can never get the sack on the first gate, but says nothing on room count, each gate has the same amount of rooms, 5 or 6 right?
you can't force hermes, sadly
side hustle is super good
oh pfffftt
i just checked lambent
i thought it was all the same
I can't say about room count for each tunnel. But you can't get first sack yeah
Hermer is guaranteed in a run already
you don't need to force him
did i stutter?
yeah but the early side hustle generates so much money
No you made typo and it was apparently very funny 
just pretend it was intentional
also i just had the revelation of the meaning behind the name hermaphrodite
But based on what I've learned from here recently based on what weapon you are choosing it's better to choose the god whose strike/special would benefit the weapon.
||Or Athena, a lot of people seem to take her dash with everything||
that soudsn about right
It's definitely helped me clear easier. Ty for the strats btw 
i actually like her attack boon, dash is good but i would take drunken dash so side damage and to slowly kill the cat chariots
||Depending on the weapon there are some easy things you can do to avoid the flame wheels, you can also buy things well of charon item that prevents flame wheels from showing up in the run haha||
ngl Drunken Dash is kinda meh
yeah true
oh, one more thing, can u control if your next room is gonna give you 1 or 2 gates out ? i mean, i FEEL theres a way to do it, since rooms are not randonly generated, and thats why i tought it could be a map of the whole thing, until styx of course...
The game is pseudo random, which means it is deterministic. You CAN control the RNG, but it's not practical.
how?
Speedrunners used to do a thing called routing, which is what you said.
Basically you replay a run over and over and over again
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
To determine the outcome or change it by doing actions such as casting, breaking pots, etc.
But it is wildly impractical to do in a normal/casual run
whyd speedrunners stop doing it
Because categories exist. People nowadays do a category called unseeded
which is just normal play
more appeal I guess
You can still do routed runs
absolutely, i mean would be great o have some pointers, and that was mostly what i wanted, but i got u
But the amount of submission for "normal" play vastly outnumbers that of routed runs.
Makes sense. Who would want to play the same run 100 times over.
also i hate whoever said chaos looks like james charles, i can't unsee it
bruh
weird
yeah, geekian minecraft server, no swearing
the bot rules with an iron hand
geekian?
it's like christian
like Christian
also kind of a weird rule
but greek
yeah
PG server brother
there are some players making world records, using the same seed to do it but yeah, absolutely
that's how you get absurd runs like sub 5 mins
though nowadays with normal play you can get sub 7
just check out speedrun.com/Hades
i'm honestly a super fan of the hermes cup, that got me thinking about this tecnical things about rooms and such, but i understand that normal games endup being way more " uncontrollable"
i'll chek it out
I'm glad you like the cup
I'm a fan also. Took part in the first one and failed miserably. But it was fun!
Is shattered shackle really bad
Or do i not understand how to use it
Because boons will most likely always be better
Because they will have a extra effect
Like knock back or damge reduction
It's either for people doing boonless runs or for Tartarus only if you have bad luck
HADES is pure art i'm loving it!
hi guys, i need help
english is not my main lenguage and i not understand what ramps means
it increases over time
so if you have the gun fire uninterrupted
the damage will increases (or "ramps") over time
if this makes sense
yeah its doodoo
Although the ramp up could be stronger imo
so which one is better, eternal chamber, triple beam or greater inferno?
sorry for asking this here haha
No worries m8
That's what this channel is for
What does greater inferno do again xD
More bomb range?
More ramp?
bomb does 250% dmg in larger area
Also try using zeus attack on the secret gun aspect
If you're playing on pc I'd say inferno
Triple beam is hella nice cause you can stand close and hit all three beams on one enemy
yup, im on pc
Are you going for an attack or special build?
Then take triple beam
Play it like a melee weapon
Also look out for artemis and try to get support fire
Every time you hit am attack a little tracking arrow will fire
Best of luck!
And don't be afraid to ask questions ;D
Maybe post your win in #h1-victory-boasting and @ me ;D
sure i will uwu
uwuing in my christian minecraft server
*Chthonian hades server
(i don't care lol)
oh men i just got divine dash
just kd, don't worry
if i lose this run i'm gonna cry
You're free to speak your mind as long as it's sfw m8
if i have defeated ||megaera|| already, why do i restart in the beginning of tartarus when starting a new run? Dont i get to start in the new place?
That's the game loop of roguelites
Your goal is to complete "runs'
Aka beat the final boss in the final area
Ohh I love explain roguelite concept to new comers
Playing "runs" multiple times will give you the means to power yourself up and with permanent progression and your own growing knowledge of the game you will someday beat a run
But beating 1 run is only the beginning of it
And to beat a run, you need to do everything A to Z
at least for Hades. some other roguelites will let you skip some floors (enter the gungeon)
But that's usually very costly
oh okay i thought you could start on the 2nd place when you've beat the first
No you can't
Having to start over is the entire point
The gameplay lies in mastering the basics and then encountering harder and harder versions
what can i use keys for? i already unlocked all of the mirror perks and reset it for my preferences, are there any other uses? beside selling them for nector
There's also a special deal where you can trade 15 keys for 1 titan blood
Look at the broker after every run
It shows up randomly
Also cosmetics
buy Zag pretty lipstick
wait you can do that?
no sadly
Unfortunately not

But you can make your health bar and victory/boom screen pretty
the athena and dio duo boom it's worth?
i mean i can have instead the exposed effect
what cosmetics can i buy with keys, it's only diamonds in the renovation
looks more worth it versus ||our lovely daddy||
||themes and ranks||
is there a channel for feature requests? i don't see one at a glance
There was one pre-release I believe
It can help but it's nothing I would hunt for
Yeah i remember, i only came up with the idea post early access
I wouldn't hunt for it. Especially if you have hermes dashes w/ divine dash
Yeah, having customizable Zag garb would have been nice.
feature request: codex sub-menus for each weapon that show all the possible deadalus hammer upgrades and their conflicts, similar to how the gods have one for their boons
Im so mad
I got the ares blade rift seeking duo
But i had to chose between that and the extra cast projectile
Duo
also, balance request, allow Fated Persuasion to be used on hammers as well
basically give hammers some qol love
there's a hermes boon in styx for 500, should i get it?
it can be the dash upgrade
It can still reallear
and i have divine dash
It's better rarity then
Also in a run you'll usually get two hermes boons
In final shop you can get the only 3rd one
I'd recommend
thx
Maybe play until the satyr sack first so you have money for a kiss of styx if you need it
there was not dash upgrade 
Hyper rush is also good
El rip, good Nahu
agreed
i dont want to just ping an employee randomly, but i wish there was a feedback channel
just have to try to catch one of em i guess
If Fated Persuasion could be used on hammers you could force you to get builds even more
like fury slash + cursed sword combo
its not like you'll have that many of them
just feels odd for the hammer to be the only "pick 3" you can't reroll
Fated persuasion is already one of the best mirror upgrades. Maybe the best
it's amazing
They’d have to balance that maybe making the hammer rolls cost 2 for the first roll
hi everyone, does anyone know how iframes work with dashes?
or if they work at all?
They do work. Dont know the specifics. I use it all the time to dash through hades and Perseus/minotaur attacks
I think the iframes are at the start of the dash
yeah I was wondering about it, because I find it to work at times and not at other times
so knowing the exact timing would have come in handy
thank you for that
You have i frames during the dash animation
speaking of timing, adding FO messed up mine
Not at immediate start or end afaik
and i kinda regret it every time i try to do runs with lower heat
on other infernal arms
yeah pretty confusing
this is why divine dash is so wanted early
I used to take the athena keepsake just so I could get divine dash as soon as possible but as of now I'm trying to make normal dashes work
it makes you safer and your bad dashes are much safer
yeah, but I don't really like the idea of depending on athena boons
thank you for your answer anyway, I'll test it out
would be cool if skelly could also attack you so you could test stuff like this out
It doesn't give you more I frames
the deflect makes it seem that way though
it makes if safer because ranged attacks will be deflected
It's all about the builds
If I can fit an athena dash in along the way it's nice
But hunter and tidal dash are also bonkers on the right builds
not sure if the deflect protects your recovery frame on your dash though
and a bad dash most of the time will have a ball of energy hit your head
The reflect helps but it doesn't give you more I frames
or a rat
although i think hermes' boon covers that
It makes your invulnerability hitbox bigger you could say ig
Or rather you would deflect a projectile earlier than you would dash trough it timing wise
I like to take aphrodite or dyonisus dash so I can proc priviledge status more easily without having to give these boons to my attack or special tho
even if tidal and artemis dash are amazing as well
Try to not rely on PS unless you're doing hangover builds
FF is just a nice +25% damage always
oh that's another thing I wonder about, is it better to take boons from different gods or is it better to "focus" mostly on one or two gods?
that's why I tend to take PS more
I mostly go for aphrodite/ares/dyonisus builds so PS works wonders
It depends on the build usually you focus on two core gods and softly plan which others may fit the build
you want to focus on two gods for the duo boons imo
On builds that are already curse heavy ps is nice ofc
But usually FF is a safer/better choice
what exactly does dark foresight do? i dont understand its wording
alright, thank you
It gives you a higher chance for golden laurel rooms
That means rooms that contain hearts, money, poms, boons, and hammers
Blue laurels are the meta currency rooms
It basically gives you more consistent runs but less meta currency
Tf is the (meta) supposed to mean
The biggest currency
No, leave it, it's better that way
My auto correct be wild
Your auto correct do be wild tho
do people prefer this to the other one
In general, yes
Foresight all the way
More boons > less boons
mmm yeah i guess that makes sense
If you're farming darkness then you can ofc switch it
But it's key for more consistent runs imo
Also more money=more boons
so family favorite + dark foresight = big damage is what im getting at
Even if you're farming darkness, it's still better to leave it on and just do zero heat runs
I have god's legacy and fated persuasion
Stygian on non cast
Infernal on most cast
It depends, but a lot of specific builds require Duos, so a lot of people go with that
I get a ton more duo boons than legendary tho
Until you're at very high heats the one that gets you more duos/legendaries is better imo
Again for consistency
Duos usually have easier prereqs than legendaries
yeah that's god legacy
Not necessarily
Legendaries are one tier 1 and one tier 2 boon I'm a lot of cases
now I'm at 3 heat on 4 weapons so it's still pretty early
its hard to weigh the option when doing an artemis run for me tbh
If you have the advanced codex you can check the prerequisites in the codex
And then plan accordingly
mfw i'm only doing literal rifle aspect on my rail
artemis duos are cool but... epic clean kill
zag aspect
Most Duos just need any two tier 1 boons, though the cast specific ones obv need that to be the cast
just because i only use keyboard and can't eris for the love of hades
Contractor
oh then i definitely dont have that
But achilles has the "unlock dialogue" for that
The work orders at the contractor has a lot of important upgrades for your runs
Just rebind Q to a mouse button
im assuming i just need to buy more stuff from him then
because rn he's offering... honestly garbage
i don't have problems with binding
i have problems with the aim
since it still uses the cursor
i havent had to rebind anything
rather than making use of the auto-aim
I believe the upgrades in this game are very linear, like when you first buy them they seem unnoticeable but then they add up
there are some times where the mouse cursor is hidden and i can make the aim work with just wasd controls
but when i have to choose boons, i have to use my touchpad to confirm
that'shar
hardcore*
i only have that problem on rail tho
the rest of the weapons are fine with just keyboard controls
Rails auto aim is so high
yeah that's true
You can stand in a room of small rats and hold down attack and it'll just 180 in all directions
so for me to get comfortable with rail, i have to get rocket hammer
Cluster Rocket = easy win
wait you dont have a mouse? you're playing with a trackpad???
so like... arrow keys trackpad?
i could sort of see that working but its not pretty
sounds like playing an arcade game
page up being special page down being confirm, fingers all scrunched up but hey if it works it works (does it work?)
and space for dash maybe
that's the default keyboard bind for dash
i have one enemy left in the armored enemies fated list mission
idk where to find it
Crank it up to BP2
Makes it more likely
i have a ss but i can't send it here XD
i only seldom use mouse controls. only on choosing boons and dialogs
combat is 100% keyboard
J attack, K special, U cast, I dash, L call, O summon

You want to know what that is?
it's in styx 👍
Hades but it's Eldrich gods... minus Chaos
You are missing a Styx mini boss yeah
You will realize what it is once you see it. Really hard to miss.
(Or maybe easy? Depends on how you interpret it)
I haven't had a chance to get that (I did look it up in the wiki) yet btw.
Ayo
is it the tiny vermin?
51 runs and not fought it yet :c
King vermin
but still tiny
|| It's one of the snake heads ||
Tiny vermin king
*I meant the one I haven't unlocked mb
overall
Is it just random? I haven't seen the ||dire snakestone|| yet in Styx.
yeah it's random
you can increase your chance by always picking miniboss though
which is arguably easier than normal chambers
good point, I usually don't pick only if it's a weird boon and I don't want anything replaced.
Replaced?
It's not like thats the only option you'll get
What happens if the slots are all full and you get a new boon?
yeah, exchanging boons isn't something I would worry about too much.
New discovery on that
Gods don't get kicked
you're more likely to get a duo boon you qualify for, than anything really
So if you get more than 4 you'll have more than that In your rotation
But 4 will appear naturally
Aside from forcing and if you take a different boon in a shop when your keepsake hasn't triggered yet
i'm assuming they mean the core boon slots to the left?
No I meant the overall slots. They are usually full by the time I am in Styx I think. With like well of charon items etc too.
there's no maximum of boons lol
if you get to that point, the ui will just get bigger
Oh he means that
Lol thought he meant core boons
oh ok I had no idea 
Is he the right pronoun?
The spaced seemed limited (I am on Switch)
It's not limited
I thought I selected the role, must've missed.
I need that one too
it's the little vermine mini boss, just take the boss doors in styx
Death Defiance or Stubborn Defiance
I always go Death Defiance
High Heat here means 40+
👌good to know - didn't realize that
found a legendary boon from chaos
its just another death defiance
was honestly expecting more from a legendary boon
ig i'll take the gamble
You can also get an additional sd with that
||When hades hits you and the edge of the screen turns blue. Is that a status effect making you weak or more vulnerable to damage?||
Spoiler that please
My bad m8
And yes, what's happening is ||Hades hit you with his Cast, which causes Boiling Blood, a status effect that makes you take double damage until the cast falls off||
i had no idea that ||that effect was his cast||
I didn’t even know ||he had a cast hahah||
I like to think of ||the laser as his Call too 😘 ||
Ah that’s interesting
Also, he totally uses ||Death Defiances, if you think about it. I really, REALLY wish that text popped up above his head after the first health bar is depleted||
||to be fair isn't his call his Unseen thing?||
It took me such a long time for me to get a cast on pos sword because of approval process
but hey, I got two duos
oh nvm i won
Well, that's just the helmet. ||Though it is what YOU get as a call||
You'd think with a garden you would be able to. Garden.
@warped iron ||https://greekmythology.wikia.org/wiki/Helm_of_Darkness||
That's legit. I just did a run where I got dash-strike early (arty, chaos, and dad), but then I didn't get a good attack until Elysium
Great you still got the duos in the end
parting shot maybe isn't that good but it's still a cast build, but heart rend is really good scaling
Idk, I've had a great time with parting shot
I would go quick favor, because you want the greater call for artemis
although I also like hyper sprint since I've apparently taken it a ton
I like the sturdy effect
I was really hoping for a puple or heroic attack speed bonus
Since im using bow with double shot
Im using chrion but
I suck with hyper sprint - can't control the speed burst for the life of me
That makes sense
With max possible speed you can get
With as much damage reduction as you can
And dodge
You can get like half of that from hermes trinket
(keep sake )
Could possibly be best with fourth aspect
But i have the best runs with first
On fists? Or bow?
Fists
Yeah, idk, I like the first and Demeter aspect
This applies a lot less so to any other weapon
Fists are really really fast
Meaning speed run is real
Getting purple attack and arty special on a demeter-aspect fist is really fun for me
Especially if you can get either dio/arty or aphro/arty for the insane cutter special.
Yeah
I mean like for the extra damage
Oh, I misread that
"Any other than first"
I read that as "hidden or first"
But yeah, I do love that juicy extra damage
Yeah
Sword hidden and gun really do have that extra chunk over all
Like they hit really really hard
Yeah, the flat base, you're saying?
Yeah
Yeah, lucifer is a ton of fun for me. Arthur can be fun for some casual play, too
Lol, that sounds hilarious. I've only done one run with gun hidden, but I'll try to trinket for that next time
If you dont get messed up by final boss
Eh
It could really help
Just not for hidden
Since best damage takes a long time
Like i meant as a general build
Hermes
Would only be like slight bonus
Ah, you're saying as a base
Hmm, I mean, poseidon can be fun on hidden gun, too. Get rupture and attack
Yeah
🔫
I haven't tried that put on hidden but the other aspects are really fun
Its like a deadly super soaker
Yeah, it works great with lucifer
You get the added range dad and it's even better. Laser enemies across the map, slam them into walls...
so I've had 23 escape attempts and i haven't made it out of Elysium yet ( the 3rd zone) i've had the game for like a 3 days, the first day or more i didn't touch god mode, but now my modifier is above 60% and I'm still losing on 3 =(... i wish hades was co-op so someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, lol
whenever i type i it types u
Ah, no worries! What's been the most difficult?
Use Demeter dash
Not Divine Dash (athena)?
If the explodi charoits are being horrible
Oh, sure
What weapon do you prefer, Thrill1991?
If its one of the 100 or so enemy swarm room then just try not to get hit
If thats possible
(probably not going to be from personal experience i hate rooms like that )
elysium has some really scary enemies, but once you learn the ins and outs of them something will click and you'll make it out in no time
thats kinda two questions cause i dont use what i prefer
i literally go with whatever is is purple cause I'm counting on farming darkness for like overall strength, ( so that's what i use)
my fav weapons, are like the spear and sheilds, i dont mind the sword or the rail gun, or the fists.... the only weapon i actually dont like is the bow, the charge time is weird, and the special feels like the worst one in the game next to spear. but i never use spear special.
Sounds like you're not dash attacking
Spear special is amazing
the special becomes absolutely amazing with ||chiron aspect|| (not really a spoiler but not sure what counts as a spoiler here)
You sit back and stun lock your enemies
Bow special is great as long as you pretend it's a shotgun
i dont use the spear's special all that much but i love the weapon
hmmp
@honest zephyr Since the bow isn't your go to, though, what's the main enemy or two that get you on Elysium?
