[brisk trail]

more often than not it gets me the sack and it's way faster

[tepid plover]

Exactly 300

[iron ether]

ok ok

[exotic furnace]

woah

nice

i thought it didnt matter which chamber you picked

[iron ether]

It seems that when I do the Charons coin chamber and Extra life chamber I always get the sack

[wintry trail]

splash dash + sea storm insane too

[tepid plover]

No, rng

[exotic furnace]

so i usally pick non-boss ones unless i need something specific

[brisk trail]

gods grant me a swift satyr sack

[wintry trail]

found it already

[iron ether]

ok ok

[tepid plover]

Goose, is completely rng

[iron ether]

well i have weird rng

[tepid plover]

Just not in the 1st try

[iron ether]

yea

[wintry trail]

took me long to find out the more expensive poms of power at the styx charon shop leveled up by 2

[tepid plover]

Yep

[brisk trail]

p sure the chance for a 2 sack is 50%

[exotic furnace]

what does the most expensive god boon do?

sometimes it is 700

[tepid plover]

Has higher chance for better rarity

[brisk trail]

third Hermes boon

[wintry trail]

never bought it lol

[tepid plover]

And it can only be 450

[brisk trail]

you normally only get 2

[wintry trail]

da 500 hermes boon

[tepid plover]

Oh hermes is 500 yes

[exotic furnace]

ill make a screenshto when it is 700

[brisk trail]

oh my b I'm too used to || convenience fee 1 || lmao

[tepid plover]

If its 700 you have convenience fee im sure

[exotic furnace]

oh right

[warped atlas]

anybody have suggestions for boons for the spear? i dont play it alot anymore

[exotic furnace]

im smart

[tepid plover]

But the price is 500

[brisk trail]

after today ive found that spear is my least favorite weapon

unfortunately

I think artemis is good on special

[wintry trail]

the only pacts I use are extreme measures, Middle Management and sometimes Jury Summons if I need 1 more

[exotic furnace]

spear is what i initially got a bunch of clears on

[brisk trail]

my clear screen is so funny

[exotic furnace]

i like the spear especially with flurry jabs

you can just stand back and hold square

[brisk trail]

it doesn't do enough damage for me

[ocean eagle]

just bought the game today and absolutely loving it

[exotic furnace]

damage isnt great but its okay

[wintry trail]

spear is cool, especially achilles, but I just feel like its hard to make deal as much damage as the other weapons, especially with its attack

[exotic furnace]

i prefer not dying over doing a lot of damage :P

[warped atlas]

its a great game

[wintry trail]

achilles spear cast is big damage tho

[brisk trail]

nothing can hurt you if you kill it fast enough

[wintry trail]

fists gang

[exotic furnace]

@ocean eagle awesome :D though id recommend you to be very careful hanging out here

if youre the type of person who wants to discover things for themself

[tepid plover]

Have you tried not getting hit?

[exotic furnace]

thanks hypnos

[wintry trail]

lmao

[warped atlas]

i think i like fists and exagryph best

[exotic furnace]

takes back nectar

[wintry trail]

im obsessed with swords in any game. Hades is the only game where sword isn't my fave, but my second fave

[brisk trail]

I think its pretty obvious which weapon I like the most https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/383474744097374211/782441694514642964/unknown-140__01.png

[tepid plover]

Wow

Poor exagryph

[warped atlas]

lol, is it common for people to not like hypnos? he can be obnoxious but i think he's great

[tiny grove]

i'm gonna guess fisticuffs

[exotic furnace]

i have like 8 and 9 on sword and spear and 0 on the rest

[brisk trail]

I don't hate it but I'm not using it for the meme

[tiny grove]

I find Hypnos hilarious

[brisk trail]

I love hypnos

[wintry trail]

I got 1 on each pretty fast even tho I really din't like rail and shield

[tepid plover]

I feel sad for hypnos

[tiny grove]

not necessarily someone I would have as my best friend

but funny

[wintry trail]

the prophecy u get from it is just too good

[exotic furnace]

hes lazy af and unreliable but what can you expect from sleep incarnate :P

[brisk trail]

I haven't used rail in like 70 runs

[wintry trail]

Hypnos just happens to be annoying lol. It doesn' feel like he tries to be

[tepid plover]

The hatred

[exotic furnace]

poor guy just wants to sleep and chill

[wintry trail]

Hey I respect hypnos

good fella

[tepid plover]

Not even, he just wants some family time

[wintry trail]

I relate to hypnos with falling asleep at work with falling asleep at school

[ocean eagle]

@exotic furnace I appreciate the warning but Dw I don’t mind

[wintry trail]

I wake up the same way too lol

[brisk trail]

I'm glad I stopped taking naps but damn do I miss taking naps

[exotic furnace]

im like hypnos but i dont like that part of myself

[tiny grove]

naps are great

[tepid plover]

[tiny grove]

dunno what you guys are talking about

[exotic furnace]

hypnos' personality

[wintry trail]

my sleep schedule for the last week was just napping after school while feeling a little sad, then playing hades afterwards and get in a good mood

[tiny grove]

sounds like you're developing Hades dependency

you should be careful of this potent drug

[wintry trail]

it really is

[tepid plover]

[tiny grove]

stay in school kids

[warped atlas]

its the nectar, man

[tiny grove]

Hades will be here over xmas break

or do what i do

work 1 hour

play 30 mins hades

[wintry trail]

Ambrosia hits different man

[tepid plover]

[tiny grove]

:ambrosia:

[tepid plover]

As a matter of fact, it hits different every time

[tiny grove]

ambrosia when

[warped atlas]

charon is the first one ive formed a bond with and im not sure what has changed

[tepid plover]

Nothing changes lol

Youre just besties now

[warped atlas]

ah

[tiny grove]

you now have an ||unspoken bond||

[warped atlas]

i see

[tiny grove]

you can see the cosmetic rewards

at your keepsake box

[tepid plover]

"Rewards"

[tiny grove]

yes everything past a certain point is purely cosmetic

[wintry trail]

screw lean, we out here sippin ambrosia

[tiny grove]

@tepid plover how is dio sleepy wouldn't it be drunkdio

[warped atlas]

what cosmetic rewards? all i saw was a little chibi, i aint complaining though

[tiny grove]

sleepyhypnos

you already got it @warped atlas

[warped atlas]

alright, thats fine, i was expecting something like that

[brisk trail]

getting turnt off that premium vintage

[exotic furnace]

the ||chibis|| are the best rewards

[tepid plover]

Drunk and sleepy

[brisk trail]

the boys smacked me my first try too

[tepid plover]

🥲

[tiny grove]

oh post party i see

[brisk trail]

focus asterius and be mindful of the spear

[exotic furnace]

its not even fair, 2 legendary heros teaming up against you

[warped atlas]

somehow i beat them my first time i got to elysium

[tiny grove]

what part of the game makes you feel like it's fair

[tepid plover]

Tbf, is 1 legendary hero and a clown

[wintry trail]

imma get ||Orpheus chibi|| as my first one

[tiny grove]

when you're learning it that is

[exotic furnace]

@tiny grove good point

legendary clown

[tiny grove]

Hey that's not fair to Asterius

his partner is the legendary other guy

[wintry trail]

my school did a musical based on the tale of orpheus and eurydice and I sang in it, so I have a special connection to Orpheus

[warped atlas]

thats pretty cool

[exotic furnace]

cool

[tiny grove]

awesome

[exotic furnace]

dont look back 🎵

[tiny grove]

I think it's really cool

[wintry trail]

so many of the hades characters where in that musical lol

[tiny grove]

they have the same duet singers from all the way back

in Bastion

well yes it's the pantheon right

[rose nexus]

Imagine how small hades head would be if he had no hair

[wintry trail]

lmao yea Ik. Still

[tiny grove]

schools are cool

I miss school

imagine working and paying bills

[rose nexus]

Imagine having money and thriving lmao

[manic bobcat]

I miss not having worries

[wintry trail]

damn

[manic bobcat]

Can we go back?

[rose nexus]

I would kill to work in a studio

[tepid plover]

Excuse me? Asterius is the only one making that fight honorable

[tiny grove]

a games studio?

[short robin]

does wearing a gods keepsake increase the chances of them appearing

[rose nexus]

Thesius just

[rose nexus]

Any media and entertainment studio

[exotic furnace]

@rose nexus what is a himbo?

[tiny grove]

It makes it certain

i.e. 100%

[short robin]

😮

[rose nexus]

Think of people like Fred from scooby doo

[tepid plover]

It guarantees it for 1 room

After that is back to rng

[tiny grove]

well, it guarantees it for 1 room, then adds it to the pool of gods

[wintry trail]

do people know about the 4 god pool thing?

[tiny grove]

there's a soft limit of 4

[manic bobcat]

When the game generates a god boon, it will be of that god.

[exotic furnace]

male himbo? like him bimbo?

[wintry trail]

its a pretty big thing

[tiny grove]

which you can add to by putting more keepsakes on

[rose nexus]

Like a really polite but dumb guy

[manic bobcat]

Once only

[tiny grove]

so it's possible to have like 6

but still

[tepid plover]

Not everyone no

[tiny grove]

4/5 is the likely number

[wintry trail]

theres bimbos, himbos and thembos :)

[tiny grove]

TIL

[wintry trail]

hades has them all

[rose nexus]

zag is a himbo, just from what I’ve seen with Meg ahaha I love it

[wintry trail]

Zag such a wonderful wonderful lad

[tiny grove]

zag loves|| the dominatrix||

[wintry trail]

IUDSHGUYFQWG

yes

[tiny grove]

cool, hope it works out for ya

[exotic furnace]

zag is a cool dude. i like him

[tiny grove]

zag is ice cool. or maybe fiery cool?

[exotic furnace]

may the gods bless him. oh wait they already did

[rose nexus]

Ty aaa I’ll get there

[exotic furnace]

zag's personality is core to the game's wholesome vibe, i feel

[wintry trail]

Aphrodite bimbo, Zag and Dionysus himbo

chaos thembo???

[brisk trail]

doesn't aphrodite say "don't take me for some mindless nymph"

[rose nexus]

dionysus isn’t a himbo

[wintry trail]

lmao she does

[tepid plover]

Did yall know zag personality is inspired from mcu's loki?

[rose nexus]

Hypnos is the neighbors kid

[exotic furnace]

but loki is evil

[manic bobcat]

Source?

[tepid plover]

Is he tho

[brisk trail]

chaos is my glucose guardian

[manic bobcat]

Cause I don't see it

[exotic furnace]

idk i just saw the movies

[wintry trail]

zag personality reminds me a bit of old point and click games protagonists

[tepid plover]

His accent i meant

[brisk trail]

you're right

[tall inlet]

Chaos thembo? No freakin' way. They are v big brain

[astral swift]

Zag is a Disney Princess prove me wronk

[rose nexus]

Does he have character development ? Ehhhh

But I lov him as a character so I don’t mind

[manic bobcat]

Who is his animal companion?

[rose nexus]

Cerberus, duh

[warped atlas]

or random messed up fish

[brisk trail]

Cerberus vanquished (his appetite)

[astral swift]

Meg says he does

[rose nexus]

Or dusa AHAHA

[wintry trail]

Cerberus accepts the S A T Y R, S A C K

[rose nexus]

That’s disrespectful mb

[tiny grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0G6aAEv6zU&ab_channel=VikingBlonde

Actual Zag voice

[rose nexus]

👀

[exotic furnace]

o:

[tiny grove]

also was the composer for the game

holy moly

[wintry trail]

insane he did the ost AND voiced zag

[tiny grove]

^ +++++

is that enough plusses?

[wintry trail]

and compossed bastion too which had a killer ost

[exotic furnace]

1 guy composed the whole ost?!!?

[tiny grove]

+++

[tepid plover]

Whos Darren korb, all I see is god himself

[tiny grove]

with some input

but yes

[exotic furnace]

dayummm

[tiny grove]

tbf

he works with people

and they provide their own feedbakc

as with a lot of good music

[brisk trail]

I still need to play bastion

[tiny grove]

just for reference

[tepid plover]

Darren only gets positive feedback

[tiny grove]

this is Darren Korb's first attempt at doing an orchestral arrangement

holy bleepin moly

[tepid plover]

Nothing bad comes out of him

[wintry trail]

https://open.spotify.com/track/1izskv2pMumaC7TWKpitx5

banger

[manic bobcat]

The narrator in Bastion >> the narrator in Hades

[tiny grove]

Heresy- oh wait nevermind

[astral swift]

Imagine having so much power

[manic bobcat]

One thing that Hades can't beat its predecessor

[brisk trail]

I love the hades narrator tho

[tepid plover]

I know nothing of guitars and I enjoyed Darren's video on good riddance

[wintry trail]

agree, but I feel like they both fit their respective games

[tiny grove]

Honestly

[brisk trail]

I can play guitar and I really enjoyed that vid

[tiny grove]

I feel that Bastion was a masterpiece for worldbuilding, OST and feel

not the best game of all time tho

[manic bobcat]

Nah. Combat in Bastion feels sluggish

[exotic furnace]

orpheus and eurydice's singers do a LOT for the game's music though

[tiny grove]

it's even worse after playing Hades

feels like a trash combat system ngl

[manic bobcat]

Combat in Hades borrows a lot from Bastion but is much more fluid

[brisk trail]

ashley barrett :D

[wintry trail]

a decade old

[tiny grove]

pretty much

[wintry trail]

hades improved on the game feel sooooo much

[tiny grove]

powershot in Bastion is :vomit:

[manic bobcat]

One decade of experience

[tepid plover]

They are the singers of the game for a reason

[manic bobcat]

No

200 years of experience

[brisk trail]

Hades is one of the best feeling games I've ever played

[tiny grove]

I love the fact that they focussed and honed in on

creating different weapons with different identities

rather than the duo wield thing in Bastion

[brisk trail]

up there with hyper light drifter and Titanfall 2

[tiny grove]

so much smarter

[wintry trail]

theres still some similarities like power shot and auto aim

[tiny grove]

runs feel unique and different

sure, but they're superficial

[manic bobcat]

I should try Hyper Light Drifter

One day

[brisk trail]

it's so good

[wintry trail]

bastion did have killer weapon variety

[brisk trail]

oh hollow knight too

[tiny grove]

honestly though, i'm so glad i gave roguelikes/roguelite a chance

[exotic furnace]

after just a few minutes of playing i already could feel thelove that was put into the game. im not sure how exactly, but the voice acting, the way it looks, the combat, the music, it somehow gave that feeling

[brisk trail]

hk and hld have the same type of difficulty

[tiny grove]

i was super turned off by them pre FTL

[manic bobcat]

I have Hollow Knight

[brisk trail]

they're hard but every death feels like it's your fault

[tiny grove]

Hollow Knight is the best game I've barely touched

[brisk trail]

silksong when lol

[tiny grove]

never understood the appeal of metroidvanias before that game either

[exotic furnace]

i have hollow knight too, i havent played it much

[tiny grove]

i find the scale of the game intimidating

[manic bobcat]

HK combat is great. The Mantis fight is one of the best fights I had.

[brisk trail]

man I love indie games so much

[exotic furnace]

but not because i didnt like it

[wintry trail]

hollow knight hades and celeste are some of the best most flawless indie games I've played

[tiny grove]

but the gameplay feels excellent and smooth

[exotic furnace]

i played some celeste a few days ago at my friend's that game is really cool

[tiny grove]

• to that

[manic bobcat]

I swear almost 10% of my death in Celeste was in one particular flag

[tiny grove]

its mechanics are super well considered

[exotic furnace]

i knew they characters would talk in that way even before it happened, and its really cute and funny

[manic bobcat]

Either 8 or 9

[tiny grove]

and really free flowing

mega respect to the game designers

none of this clunky stuff

[wintry trail]

I love HK's approach to builds w how u can always switch stuff out

[tepid plover]

[manic bobcat]

Go to sleep

[wintry trail]

4:30 am for me lmao

[tiny grove]

alright CET

[brisk trail]

utc-6 gang

[manic bobcat]

Imagine living in Europe

[tiny grove]

4:30 is small fry

[manic bobcat]

-East Coast gang

[exotic furnace]

430 here too

[wintry trail]

Im gonna boot up bastion after several years to feel how bad it feels compared to hades. Still love that game lol

ayyyyy

[manic bobcat]

I do that sometimes

[tiny grove]

it feels super bad after playing Hades, really does

everything feels sluggish and clunky

[manic bobcat]

Boot up Bastion to listen to the narrator

[tiny grove]

but the music

[manic bobcat]

Play the first level

[wintry trail]

https://open.spotify.com/track/2CJBcTHsKSbeoAkk9oLmFz

[tiny grove]

and the narrator

[manic bobcat]

Give up because bad control

[exotic furnace]

boot up bastion and then boot it

[manic bobcat]

Rinse repeat

[tiny grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZduC-OCXB8&ab_channel=HEXMETAL

more like this

[wintry trail]

the songs in this game gives me goosebumps

[brisk trail]

I think I'd need to take a week break from Hades before playing bastion

[manic bobcat]

I can't go back

[brisk trail]

and I know that that's impossible LOL

[tiny grove]

Orpheus and Euridyce doing their duo from 10 years ago

[manic bobcat]

I mean Ashley has been in like every SGG games

[wintry trail]

the concept of war and different sides expressing their view with the songs is so haunting and cool

[tepid plover]

[tiny grove]

Personally I think east coast is the best part of the US

but what do I know

[tepid plover]

[tiny grove]

listening back to Bastion and I'm also getting goosebumps

that's one thing SGG always aced

OST

but Hades feels like the coming together

[brisk trail]

indubitably

[tiny grove]

of so many games

game design, storytelling, OST and so much talent on show

praise ye oh Hades

[exotic furnace]

hear hear

[lucid cargo]

I just saw the onion Turkey in announcements and it is adorable

Now I wish I could roast a turkey INSIDE an onion turkey

[exotic furnace]

onion turkey?

[manic bobcat]

Check #announcements for a short gif

[green maple]

that

THAT

onion turkey needs to be in the game i wish

it feels so cool

plus, i hope i can give my chef nectar

[brisk trail]

I love chef theyre so tall

wonder how they got their skills

[proud monolith]

Arcade/fight stick is the best way to play Hades fight me

[nocturne pumice]

hello

this game worth the $19?

[brisk trail]

I bought it early yesterday and have been playing non-stop, and I am not even good at these kinds of games. Having a blast, definitely worth the price

[nocturne pumice]

you using keyboard and mouse?

[brisk trail]

Yes

For what you're getting? Absolutely

[nocturne pumice]

is there end game

[brisk trail]

From just what I've seen I can't even imagine completing everything in a reasonable amount of time, so I am gonna say yes

[nocturne pumice]

it gets challenging?

[brisk trail]

Kind of, not to spoil but there is like an actual conclusion of sorts to the story the game has, though of course it being a rogue-like you can basically play for as long or short as you please

[wintry trail]

I've been playing on switch which I don't regret, but I just bought the steam version for when cross save drops, and it looks sooooo clean on pc with my 144hz monitor iim so hyped for cross save

[nocturne pumice]

thats the type of monitor i have curved

[rose nexus]

I wanted to get it on switch just bc i wanted to play in bed

But then i decided that would be a horrible idea lmao

[red tiger]

yeah this is...NOT a game to play in bed lol

[brisk trail]

Yeah, after you beat your first run especially, the game introduces a system called heat that basically has you bump the difficulty up for more rewards, and aside from heat base hades is a pretty tuff challenge on it's own.

[red tiger]

could you imagine playing this game with switch controllers

[nocturne pumice]

is this game best on keyboard and mouse or controller

[red tiger]

controller

I use ds4

[rose nexus]

I like ps4 controller

[brisk trail]

I've gotten 70 hours out of it already

[nocturne pumice]

figured

[brisk trail]

I use KBM

[tiny grove]

devs said they were proud of Head Chef's design

I'm inclined to agree

[brisk trail]

I use a keyboard and that's my preferred way of playing, but you can also hook up a controller so it's up to preference, I just like kbm more.

[rose nexus]

I love head chef

[tiny grove]

i'm a KBM kid

[brisk trail]

my brain can't deal with aiming/moving with the same stick lol

[rose nexus]

[tiny grove]

but that's just cuz I suck at using controller

[rose nexus]

I rely on positioning and auto aim for that aha

[red tiger]

Is there a lore reason why the shades mostly all look the same

[tiny grove]

I blame my parents for never buying me a console

[pliant sparrow]

Cuz theyre all people?

[brisk trail]

I have auto aim off lmao

[rose nexus]

Its bc all dead things are the same

[pliant sparrow]

Unless u want some alien shades

[red tiger]

Achilles is a shade too

[rose nexus]

dead

[tiny grove]

Auto aim is a liability on KBM in my experience

[red tiger]

Hades refers to achilles as a shade once

[brisk trail]

enemies are shades

[rose nexus]

No, the enemies are wretches

[red tiger]

Anyone who is a person and not a god that is dead is a shade

[tiny grove]

Achilles/Patroclus are both shades

shades are just dead mortals

[red tiger]

yup

[brisk trail]

I have auto aim off because I like having complete control over my inputs

[tiny grove]

same

[red tiger]

but why are achilles and patroculus the only one given a human shaped form

[tiny grove]

but auto aim is generally considered good on controller

[brisk trail]

ye

[silver kestrel]

A lot of characters had placeholder shades in the pre-release.

[red tiger]

controller without auto aim is just frustrating if anything

[swift edge]

Hey everyone I am on my second play through of Hades and I was wondering if there is a way to activate the conversation with Posidon about the fishing rod as early as possible?

[tiny grove]

since KBM gives more fidelity on aim but less on movement

[silver kestrel]

Just imagine all the shades are in fact placeholder shades.

[tiny grove]

whereas controller gives more fidelity on movement but less on aim

[silver kestrel]

Also Sysyphus, Euridice, and Orpheus are also shades you are shown their full form of.

[tiny grove]

named characters

[red tiger]

I mean as in lore

[silver kestrel]

Oh and technically Asterius and Theseus are shades too.

[tiny grove]

how do you mean?

[rose nexus]

Only famous people become shades

I mean, noticeable ones

[red tiger]

like, if you've been to hades quarters for instance ||there is a lore reason why hades burns his cape every time he fights you||

[proud monolith]

Honestly shocked by the amount of kbm damn

[silver kestrel]

The lore is always that Daedalus is not finished expanding the game yet so obviously we extraplanar observers aren't able to fully discern all the shades until Daedalus finishes some sort of fancy broadcasting device and we can only see the ones Zagreus is most close to.

[red tiger]

so there are in fact lore reasons for ingame details

[proud monolith]

Fight stick with sanwa parts and an 8 gate

[rose nexus]

I was using kbm and then used controller out of laziness and i havent used kbm since lmao

[nocturne pumice]

game does look good though and saw was just updated

[silver kestrel]

Not the one you're asking for I just made that up.

[red tiger]

It was updated?

[nocturne pumice]

IN SEPT lol

[red tiger]

oh

yeah duh lol

thought you meant recently got hyped

[silver kestrel]

I'd just say that we higher beings aren't able to perceive shades fully unless they're ones Zagreus knows the name of, ha.

[proud monolith]

Ive tried with the new xbox controller, 8bitdo sn30+, and kbm. Fightstick all day everyday.

[nocturne pumice]

im new to this game so thinking about getting it

[silver kestrel]

Since we're controlling Zagreus.

[rose nexus]

I started playign in october, bc my tl was full of hot zagreus art and i didnt know who he was

[tiny grove]

oh i see

[rose nexus]

And then i saw thw trailer and i was sold

[swift edge]

Hey everyone I am on my second play through of Hades and I was wondering if there is a way to activate the conversation with Posidon about the fishing rod as early as possible?

[brisk trail]

@nocturne pumice I would recommend it even if you aren't complelty in love with rogue-likes, im personally someone who doesn't really play rogue-likes but hades is a really good exception

[rose nexus]

Youll just come across a fishing point i think

Thats what happened to me that i remember

[brisk trail]

The way it triggered for me was, talk to posiden and he'll say some stuff about it, the next run he just gave me the legendary boom

That was also the run I beat it for the second time lol

[proud monolith]

This is probably the tenth roguelike I've played and the first I've felt compelled to play over and over from time of pickup.

[rose nexus]

ive never played a rogue before, and now hades is my standard

[proud monolith]

It's nintendo team 3 levels of introduction to mechanics.

[silver kestrel]

Toss him a nectar to get a keepsake so that you can force him to show up on any run you want at some point so that you can keep rolling conversations with him?

[tiny grove]

oof high bar to clear

[proud monolith]

It takes a pretty damn good formula to not make a player overwhelmed by the amount of items and options and hades masters that.

[rose nexus]

I like the 3 choices thing

And one at a time choices, its nice

[tiny grove]

Hades really made fantastic use of its early access community

[proud monolith]

I recommend any new player to just keep playing somewhat care free and just keep going and learn at whatever pace they wish.

[tiny grove]

I have only heard of so many terribad design choices

they managed to sidestep because of community consultation

[silver kestrel]

I'm big on Risk of Rain/2 because it also has a lot of LORE but Hades has about a billion times more dialogue than Risk of Rain/2 AND greek mythology.

[rose nexus]

[tiny grove]

the game used to be way more grind intensive

and the endgame had over a hundred heat levels

from what i've heard

[rose nexus]

Im glad im not the onlynperson who skips words when typing sentences lolol

[silver kestrel]

Check out that dreamboat Charon!
-Tisiphone probably, IDK

[tiny grove]

I blame alcohol

;)

I am currently rocking to Hades OST tho

[proud monolith]

I'm biased in that sense because I enjoy grinding (I go for the 1/128 items in earthbound)

[tiny grove]

so it's a good night

[silver kestrel]

Oat you got the sword of kings?

[proud monolith]

@silver kestrel every time

[tiny grove]

that's fair, each to their own right? but hades does really well to cater to a wide range of players

[silver kestrel]

How... how many gift boxes?

[tiny grove]

you can play 10 runs and say that's it, or play 300+

[proud monolith]

@tiny grove true that

[tiny grove]

there's the right content for all of that

[proud monolith]

@silver kestrel idr but usually around 200. Sometimes I use a counter.

@silver kestrel I do 4 star pendants for fun sometimes

[silver kestrel]

I would at least want people to get the epilogue even after the credits for Hades though. It's worth it to see all the interim dialogues and to get the epilogue.

[tiny grove]

my favourite part about the OST

[silver kestrel]

I don't know if I envy or pity your sense of fun.

[tiny grove]

is that they have multiple escalating rock progressions

[rose nexus]

The epilogue takes dedication i think

[tiny grove]

so that acts never sound dull and samey

[silver kestrel]

Oh yeah I love that contextual layering of the OST.

[proud monolith]

@silver kestrel I am also a New York Jets fan so

[tiny grove]

because they have 3+ tracks for each act

[rose nexus]

Ive finished it and theres still tons of dialogue in game and i love that

[rose nexus]

i wish more games were like that

[tiny grove]

games have to make money

that's why indie is better

[proud monolith]

I wish there were better tabs out there for the OST but I've been playing along to it easily enough.

[tiny grove]

[proud monolith]

Lotsa perfect 5ths

[tiny grove]

just get a musician friend of yours

[rose nexus]

honestly the more end game content there is, the happier i am

[tiny grove]

and tabulate it together

ez

i love the way they add more layers as the intensity rises

[proud monolith]

I am the musician friend tbh

[tiny grove]

especially for miniboss/boss fights

[brisk trail]

im still kinda buns at guitar

[rose nexus]

im the art friend agh

[tiny grove]

collaboration is the lifeblood of music is it not

[brisk trail]

at barre chord level but suck at fingerstyle stuff

[tiny grove]

I always loved watching music jams from the side

[rose nexus]

I used to be a band kid. I wish i played clarinet instead of flute

[tiny grove]

i am lucky to live in a very bohemian city

their use of synth in Hades OST is also very tasteful

[proud monolith]

Idk I'm a jazz musician. I prefer playing with others but if no other year than 2020 has taught me that backing tracks can suffice...

[brisk trail]

dat theremin

[tiny grove]

it can be to easy to screw it up

jazz is quite different tbf

[tiny grove]

i practiced more on spanish guitar so fingerpicking is more my thing

[proud monolith]

I listen and play to a lot of different things. My ears are trained.

I'm a saxophonist first, but play guitar a lot for other genres.

[tiny grove]

music is all about experience and exposure right

[rose nexus]

I miss band

[proud monolith]

Depends if you want to romanticize organized rhythm.

[tiny grove]

never too late to join one

school is a good entry point for these things

[rose nexus]

Nah i meant like school band

[tiny grove]

but there are always community opportunities if you look for it

[rose nexus]

Ive graduated hs but i loved band . But i loved visual arts more

[tiny grove]

but this is getting off topic :P

[rose nexus]

[proud monolith]

Lol

[red tiger]

so I have Athena to max hearts. Do I actually get anything from that or was that a total waste?

[tiny grove]

it's purely cosmetic

[proud monolith]

@red tiger idk but I love her the most too and would like to know

[red tiger]

Are you kidding me

[rose nexus]

I love how ||irritated the shades get when zags tries to inspire them ||

[tiny grove]

but not all gifts are purely cosmetic

?

I dunno how to not spoil it

[red tiger]

I want athena to undrink all her nectar now.

[proud monolith]

You bought her a drink and she went home with greek chad

[tiny grove]

some characters, gifting additional gifts will unlock something with gameplay value

[red tiger]

if Kronos could uneat his children and a rock that he ate several years ago, surely athena can do the same with my nectar

[tiny grove]

the rest don't do anything except for cosmetic

[red tiger]

@proud monolith hey not even. athena is celibate

[tiny grove]

and there's no way of knowing before you do it

[rose nexus]

Rip hephesteaus or how ever u spell his name

[tiny grove]

wiki cough wiki

[red tiger]

I would LOVE hephestaeus in this game

[proud monolith]

@red tiger greek chad is also celibate

[red tiger]

an incel chad

an oxymoron

[rose nexus]

Hephestaeus shoulda been the hammer

[red tiger]

HARD AGREE CALZONE

[tiny grove]

Hephaestus I believe

[red tiger]

at the very least make daedlus into a person

[proud monolith]

As a calzone american I agree

[rose nexus]

i look at my name and become hungry

[narrow hemlock]

https://discordapp.com/channels/456889434672201729/477164376496013323/672871913193996293 ←

[rose nexus]

There is no escape

[red tiger]

I did just equip my first companion though so someone gave me somethin

[proud monolith]

Honestly as a new York italian I never pick a calzone over pizza but I want to right now

[rose nexus]

Ive only ever eaten homemade calzone

[proud monolith]

I'd trade 10 ambrosia for a calzone

[rose nexus]

i made one for new years

[tiny grove]

is it because you have 100 spare ambrosia

come clean right now if that's true

[silver kestrel]

Daedalus and Hephaestus could probably use their respective talents to ||make some kinda portable underworld box that allows Zag and any future mythological siblings he has to survive longer outside the realm...|| Just saying if you wanna make your first game series Supergiant there's basis for four player and a longer adventure!

[proud monolith]

@rose nexus I'll mail you a real new York calzone. I'm sure USPS will be ok with this. One stamp.

[rose nexus]

N o pls i beg

[tiny grove]

Italians and their food

[rose nexus]

Hades sequel when

[silver kestrel]

If we beg hard enough maybe after whatever their current project is? Heh

[rose nexus]

[proud monolith]

I do spend 15 mins making espresso every morning... But right now my food goals are cookie and fudge based.

[silver kestrel]

Plenty more mythology where that came from!

[proud monolith]

I want cocoa or coffee in hades

[silver kestrel]

Grant me the aspect of triple mocha!

[proud monolith]

Hermes plus coffee pls

[rose nexus]

I wonder if zagreus can cook. Or would he burn everything

[silver kestrel]

You fool, you'll destroy us all with caffeinated Hermes.

[proud monolith]

Zag can't push a pencil

He can't make cold cereal

[rose nexus]

zag can write tho hes got quills

[silver kestrel]

Zagreus definitely cannot cook to save his immortal life. But if he can learn to play the lute he can learn anything.

[rose nexus]

also what are all the books in his room

[proud monolith]

Caffeinated hermes = 40% speed increase

[tiny grove]

isn't cocoa an american new world thing tho

[silver kestrel]

I betcha he has personal copies of like the Iliad and the Odyssey and the Aeneid an all those.

[proud monolith]

@tiny grove yeah I think so. Mayans were all up in that cocoa.

[tiny grove]

sadly anachronistic

at best

[rose nexus]

Hmmmmm

[proud monolith]

Can there be danimals drinkable yogurts in ancient greece

[tiny grove]

xD

clearly you love food too much for your own good

[rose nexus]

i forgot when he said it but ||zagreus' job used to be inspecting tartarus ?||

[silver kestrel]

The civilization of the Mayans was very much contemporary with the era historians refer to as "ancient" Greece.

[rose nexus]

Is that too much a spoiler or

[tiny grove]

zagreus was the resident layabout, was the implication

[silver kestrel]

Cocao isn't out of the question!

[proud monolith]

No, it was inspecting tartar sauce

[rose nexus]

Did i spell it wrong omg

[rose nexus]

Whats that ?

[proud monolith]

No I'm sarcastic

[tiny grove]

anachronistic was the wrong word,. the geographical equivalent xD

[silver kestrel]

ROADBOAT TRIP!

[tiny grove]

layabout as in he didn't do mucb with his life and constantly argued with dad instead of doing anything with his life

[rose nexus]

I think it was more along the lines of he hated everything aha

WELL, i mean he tried

[tiny grove]

he's the moody teenager god

[rose nexus]

true

[silver kestrel]

||Zagreus new job is inspecting the entire underworld and temple. His old job was pushing papers and supposedly Hades wanted him to train to do all the things he did. But he didn't take to it and had no direction in his life until Hades was like Achilles train this boi to fight and he took to it.||

[rose nexus]

Should i read that or

[silver kestrel]

Minor spoilers about Zagreus and his "job"s?

[tiny grove]

It's not like he ever took to the work with vigour or enthusiasm

[silver kestrel]

Yeah

[rose nexus]

AaaaAA

[tiny grove]

tbf

who would

[rose nexus]

Did hades do that on purpose do you think

[silver kestrel]

Haha yeah who would want to do tedious recordkeeping and clerical work for eternity haha who would ever want that haha...

[tiny grove]

yes

[rose nexus]

Like how some kids are better at sports than school stuff

[proud monolith]

Everyone who has ever had a temp job will relate

[severe flare]

Nyx says I've completed the prophecy fated list

so what's next?

anyone knows?

[rose nexus]

House contractor ?

[severe flare]

No

the Fated list

[rose nexus]

Better do the house contractor then

[silver kestrel]

Buy ALL the drapes!

[severe flare]

Zag: "I'm rich."

[rose nexus]

"I paid for it, i can mess with it"

In before he breaks it

[neon dove]

XD love that

[silver kestrel]

Uh... bother dad a thousand times by running behind his throne!

[proud monolith]

I want 3 layers of rugs in the lounge, please

[silver kestrel]

How about the greatest challenge of all? ||Forming a healthy familial bond with your overbearing father?||

[proud monolith]

Boy

[silver kestrel]

Boi

[neon dove]

D;

[severe flare]

keep talking to him, keep giving him Nectar

[rose nexus]

👀

[severe flare]

Have you read 'The 5 languages of love'?

gifting is 1 way of them

[rose nexus]

If its not by aphrodite im not reading it

[severe flare]

so Hades game has: giving Nectar/Ambrosia

talking is also 1 of them

[neon dove]

The 5 Love Languages is a solid book

[severe flare]

SGG use them in Hades game

they're smart

[neon dove]

Gary Chapman, yeah?

[severe flare]

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/how-the-five-love-languages-can-help-you-win-at-relationships

I read the short version

[neon dove]

o.O

I suppose you can kind of get the jist by reading this

[severe flare]

now you understand Aphrodite

[neon dove]

This doesn't lay out methodology or easy signs of mixing up love languages, unfortunately

The book gives examples of miscommunication between love languages

[severe flare]

from Lifehacker - hacking in your life

the book is the best, sure

[neon dove]

I suppose that's why a book exists

[severe flare]

yes

[silver kestrel]

So... don't shoot Parting Shot boosted Crush Shots into the back of people's heads to show them you love them? Weird. Have I been doing this all wrong this entire time?

[neon dove]

Oooh, shoot, you read the ottthher book

[severe flare]

you can read the getpocket version above to get the main point

[faint burrow]

deflect on bow special is pretty busted

[shell spade]

this is a deflect dash moment

[dawn fractal]

Does anyone know if you can claim bounties if heat gauge is not filled even if those bounties haven't been taken before?

[nocturne copper]

yeah just turn it back down to zero and you can get the stuff from 0 heat (if you havent)

just did that with the twin fists today

[dawn fractal]

ok thx!

[pliant sparrow]

finally got a sub 10

[shut topaz]

why is the heat gage maxed out at 1

how do i increase that

[brisk trail]

beat the game with 1 heat to unlock the next set of bounties

[normal sonnet]

Goodness I am loving this game, so much content after the "win", I hope they do some rad expansions for this

Yeah fiddle around with that contract with each weapon, you'll see

Just about to crank extreme measures to the third stage, can't wait to see what the arena has in for store

[brisk trail]

it's awesome and also considerably more difficult

[normal sonnet]

I'm like, danger excited lol, I feel at times it's generally more difficult than the 4th stage boss

[brisk trail]

the way I fight the boys I didn't notice too much of a difference but I do have to pay more attention

[normal sonnet]

The pacing seems so good though, just as I'm getting used to the flow of a boss, there's an option to give them more tools

[brisk trail]

yeah EM1 makes Meg not a complete pushover lmao

still vaporize tisiphone, but alecto is actually dangerous

[faint burrow]

How do you gift nectar to the non-meg sisters

[brisk trail]

don't think you can

[faint burrow]

theyre never in the 'lobby'

isnt there two keepsakes from them

maybe i read wrong

[brisk trail]

nop

there are two keepsakes that you unlock much later than the others

[faint burrow]

yeah the one from poor dude in elysium i just saw

[brisk trail]

Mr run saver

[faint burrow]

lol

i usually dont have any missing DD before him

[shut topaz]

i like to get the death defiance replenishments from him

death defiance is the true run saver

[brisk trail]

if I see him late enough I like picking the jerky and banking on a 2 sack

like, right before the boss/boss shop

[normal sonnet]

Lol Alecto terrifies me

[brisk trail]

wish you could do anything about her buzzsaws

Yung pale king

[normal sonnet]

Rt Mr Run Saver

[brisk trail]

since ive improved I haven't had to rely on him so much but he definitely saved the 32 heat run I just did lol

[normal sonnet]

32 Heat good gracious lol

I'm barely at 5

[brisk trail]

not trying to brag but I did it first try lmfao

[normal sonnet]

Ooooo nice

[brisk trail]

rail busted

[normal sonnet]

I had a lot of issues with the rail at first but now I love it

[faint burrow]

welp that run was dead from the get go. slow charge on bow from random hammer gg

[brisk trail]

oof

I learned that u can savescum the anvil

but like

[normal sonnet]

Oh?

[brisk trail]

that's not fun

but I've definitely done do-overs for well of charon stuff between regions

the game locks u out of quitting for that room if you reroll

[faint burrow]

didnt know you could do that but yeah defeats the point

does it really

lol

[normal sonnet]

Lol

[brisk trail]

yeah learned that the hard way

[normal sonnet]

How fun they put in a measure for that

[brisk trail]

it makes sense

[faint burrow]

its like in Witcher 3 with the giant cow

[brisk trail]

kinda on topic but sorta not: an interesting quirk I found with binding of isaac on 3ds is that if you power off the 3ds during your death animation then launch the game again, you can start on the same floor with no items

[normal sonnet]

Huh

[brisk trail]

idk where I was going with this

[faint burrow]

lol

[lone kernel]

how many titan bloods do i need for every weapon upgrade?

[brisk trail]

around 300

lemme grab the wiki page

306

https://hades.gamepedia.com/Titan_Blood

[faint burrow]

w-weapon upgrade

what

[brisk trail]

you'll get the ability to do that eventually

its awesome

[faint burrow]

hpw

how*

[brisk trail]

idk where ur at progresswise so disregard that comment if you're farther

oh you have to unlock the rail before you can start upgrading

[faint burrow]

rail? ive cleared the game over 20 times

not sure what you mean

[brisk trail]

aspects

[normal sonnet]

I thought the bottom keepsakes took 1:1 ambrosia and now I don't have any ambrosia right as I finish dolling out nectar for everyone lol

[weary parrot]

what are the requirements to get the sundial work order? what’s “hades’ musings”?

[brisk trail]

I completely misread where you were progresswise lol apologies

[weary parrot]

heard it was impossible to get the sundial for a bit until an update was out, has that update been rolled out to switch yet

[faint burrow]

im lost

are you talking about upgrading the individual weapons? If so thats news to me. Idk what to even use titans blood for anymore in that case

[brisk trail]

pretty sure they meant unlocking different aspects and upgrading them w Titan blood

[molten nymph]

you inspect the weapons you’ve unlocked

there will be the option to unlock variants and upgrade them

[faint burrow]

oh

[solemn otter]

is there any section to report any in-game problems bugs etc.?

[brisk trail]

idk if this is like spoilery enough for the other channel,but I do have a question, in order to get the last heart for Charon which has like a special thing on it kinda, what do I have to do?

Spoilers for him btw:

||I've already fought him, but I'm not sure what else to do as it dosen't let me gift him anything||

[weary parrot]

||just buy 10k worth of charon items iirc||

[faint burrow]

i tried fighting him once a while ago

and i lost terribly

[granite ether]

if on pc; open the in game bug reporter with F10 while in game
if on switch; outline the bug with a photo of the screen (screenshot is ideal) in #h1-tech-support @solemn otter

[sand stump]

so i have upgrade all the companion and unlock all story

[brisk trail]

Ohhh ok thank you

[sand stump]

should i convert ambrosia to blood to upgrade weapon?

[weary parrot]

any idea on the sundial work order? i’m pretty late game and i haven’t gotten it

depends on where you are in game, pre-epilogue id say no

[sand stump]

i have finish the || invite all god to underworld party||\

got all the keepshake

including ||mom's and dad's||

[weary parrot]

ok then i guess so? i’m at that point of the game too and i have an excess of ambrosia (like 40+ bottles??)

you can upgrade your companions w ambrosia too if you haven’t

[solemn otter]

thanks a lot!

[red tiger]

yeah...you can trade some of that ambrosia in too salmon lol

for anhlong I'd say sure as long as you only do 1 or 2 at a time

[brisk trail]

when u get that 100 gems → diamond trade 😩

[red tiger]

not when you're doing dusa's substory man. I want all the gems I want dusa to love me

Though I suppose there are lounge items that require diamonds

[brisk trail]

I have like 9 thousand gems its ok

[red tiger]

o dam

[brisk trail]

thanks mostly to a contractor upgrade

[sand stump]

Thanks guys

[weary parrot]

i don’t really need any titans blood either so i’m just sitting here w my 40 bottles of ambrosia like 😐

[red tiger]

some of all need to just start a new game. try hell mode maybe

[weary parrot]

i’m still gonna work on maxxing my relationships!! and i hear there’s a few dialogue story arcs i haven’t even seen in game yet so i’m looking for those

[faint burrow]

wow turns out stacking doom on bosses with fists is pretty good

[brisk trail]

u gotta bank on getting stacking doom tho

otherwise ur stuck with doom on fists attack

[faint burrow]

I started with poseiden knock back and it was going great

then i was offered long fist and stacking doom as back ups

[meager dirge]

Haiii I'm new

I just watched my bf play the game and omg it's so pretty

[faint burrow]

hello

its cool

[meager dirge]

YEAH

[brisk trail]

I really gotta stop and actually look at the game sometimes

[meager dirge]

It's so pretty

[brisk trail]

I'm usually on a timer so I can't slow down much lol

[meager dirge]

All the character designs

And the backgrounds

And the effects omg

[brisk trail]

the aesthetic is so cohesive its craxy

[faint burrow]

can herme's stuff ever be legendary

or heroic

[slate jetty]

Hermes' boons can become Heroic if you have an Epic boon and Eurydice upgrades it with Ambrosia Delight.

[faint burrow]

i feel like i always get screwed by some mediocre crap for hermes

[rose nexus]

I’m watching that interview with Darren korb

I had no idea he grew up in the Bay Area that’s so cool

[slate jetty]

Hermes also has 2 legendaries, depending on your cast mirror option (one for Infernal Soul and one for Stygian Soul)

[faint burrow]

how do you unlock the very last version of a weapon

[normal sonnet]

I love Hermes

Gimme day Side Hustle, wingtwink

Auto Call build? Yes pls I'm using Aegis and fightin slow

Yes I think I will take extra strafe boosts with Poseidon's splashy dash

[brisk trail]

always love seeing hermes

[molten nymph]

@faint burrow ||you first need to unlock guan yu by first putting in 5 titan bloods on spear (excluding zag's) and then talk to achilles||

[normal sonnet]

Mmm such a good weapon

[brisk trail]

I thought you unlocked ||guan yu|| by ||unlocking 5 different nonzag aspects on any weapon||

[molten nymph]

oh is it?

[flat vapor]

you can find the requirements in the pins of #h1-story-discussion btw

[wooden storm]

why dont they wanna add co-op to HADES

[pliant sparrow]

its already hard to see everything in a singleplayer room lol

[manic bobcat]

This is addressed in #hades-faq.

You may not agree with it. But it is what it is.

[granite ether]

Is Hades a multiplayer game, or are there any plans for multiplayer?
Hades is a single-player game. We have no plans to add multiplayer, as we created the gameplay and narrative of Hades with a solo experience in mind.

from the #hades-faq

[manic bobcat]

But adding local coop and steam remote play? I can add that to my big if true list.

[cinder lichen]

Imagine

[manic bobcat]

All the people

[cinder lichen]

Quadruple Aphro Chiron attacks/specials with Unhealthy Fixation

EM4 is, instead of ||a third phase|| it’s just cloned final boss

[faint burrow]

charm doesnt stop a boss from attacking you right

[cinder lichen]

Not always

But a bunch of rapid fire attacks would definitely be bound to land a stun

Like

Constant rapid fire

[manic bobcat]

Though for the Coop thing. I doubt SGG will release anything that supports it. But modders have been known to do amazing things. Nuclear Throne, for example, has a coop option mod.

[faint burrow]

i could get 410g for purging my 15% to charm on weak attack

meh ill leave it

[manic bobcat]

You can mini stun them

Which is fine imo

[faint burrow]

ah ok

I have the zeus shield w/ chill+damage

[cinder lichen]

You can interrupt boss attacks with them

But be warned, they won’t stop the attack, it’s like delaying it

[normal sonnet]

Unf, when ||Demeter|| makes your favorite boon reset to Heroic

[cinder lichen]

Hehe

“Let us begin”
-Heavy TF2

[normal sonnet]

Ugh, I finally stumbled right now to ||Orpheus and Euricydes together|| in stage 2 😭

[robust sundial]

"its already hard to see everything in a singleplayer room lol"
Seems like someone's in a rush...

[manic bobcat]

They probably have a tight deadline to adhere to.

[faint burrow]

chain skewer and crit on spear? yes pls

[cinder lichen]

...You know what would be cool?

If certain casts, such as Ares, Dionysus, or Demeter, shot your Bloodstone along with spawning the structure you hold, with either the Bloodstone or God's effect applying damage independently.

[rapid forum]

Sir you just gave me an idea. But I think I'd prefer boomtick spear

[faint burrow]

Apparently my build wasnt as good as I thought. couldnt beat Hades despite plowing through everything else. hm

[molten nymph]

spoiler the final boss name man

[cold surge]

The final boss does a LOT of damage per hit so you can’t dps race you have to dodge and be careful. Also yeah spoilers

You can have a great build but can be destroyed if you take too many attacks, like even with acorn you still can take a lot of damage in the fight

How much health did you have going in?

Lately if Chaos offers health I go for it if I can deal with the downside especially if they are in Tartarus

[cinder lichen]

Imagine if The Fates knew you were tampering with the game's save files, so they let you go back to where you want but also applying a "cheater's penalty" for a set amount of rooms.

Like, the penalty is random and minor, like Bouldy, never "Ambiguous," and persists through multiple runs until the amount of rooms have been reached.

[cinder lichen]

o

What was that?

oof

[flat summit]

Didnt know that the hidden aspect of the sword Special can make you inmune to lava while you stand in

[cinder lichen]

Mhm! It counts as a trap!

So that's why you wanna stay the hell away from it when you get stuff that boosts trap damage!

[winter harbor]

I’m never running heightened security again

I beat the game once with that pact of punishment for the prophecy, never again

The winning way for me was not in getting surefooting but apparently getting the Aphrodite legendary early in Tartarus

[cinder lichen]

Pfheh, neat

[exotic furnace]

wow i just read that it affects vases too

crazy

[green maple]

Any meme builds that are fun to play?

[glacial lagoon]

doesn't work on bosses, that's reason enough

[molten nymph]

uhh
fist4 poseidon dash seastorm?

[green maple]

I dont have hidden fist... idk why lmao poseidon dash?

[brisk trail]

What do you guys like to equip for Asphodel if you got the main boons you need in Tartarus? Do you still equip a god keepsake to have better chances at a duo?

[dim nest]

I usually do god keepsakes until at least Elysium just in case

[sharp fossil]

basically either a god keepsake, acorn or coin purse

[brisk trail]

coin purse is kinda not worth it if you got CF right

[sharp fossil]

if i’m running a cast build and haven’t seen any hermes boons yet i sometimes run the plume for a better chance at the legendary

[brisk trail]

i went through with god keepsake and got duo in the first room which is nice

[sharp fossil]

usually no

nice

[molten nymph]

poseidon dash deals decent damage, and poseidon-zeus duo increases the damage even more

i guess you can run it with eris because universal damage buff

elysium i usually run acorn or coin depending on the heat

or athena if i don't have divine dash

[lost egret]

hi

so i just started the game, like 10 15 minutes earlier or so

i REALLY feel so drowzy and dizzy when i look at the screen more than 20 seconds

my brain literally stops

i cant understand what is going on, how do i shoot etc

does something like that happened to anybody else?

[silver granite]

are you prone to epileptic seizures?

[lost egret]

no

[silver granite]

im not sure you should play a game if it makes you dizzy/drowsy

[lost egret]

i get dizzy for 20 minutes more

[silver granite]

ah

[lost egret]

for example i stand up and i dont feel good

[silver granite]

well, apart from that, most controls are explained in-situ, alternatively you can go to the controls settings

[lost egret]

no not controls

i know how do i shoot, but i start to mix those up which was which etc

[silver granite]

iron deficiency?

[lost egret]

i do not know

but you say its medical right?

[silver granite]

not sure what you mean

[lost egret]

umm

[silver granite]

it sounds like it could be but im not a certified doctor or anything

[lost egret]

for example

i know left click to attack right to throw that thing

[silver granite]

what thing?

[lost egret]

but after looking at the screen for 10 seconds i start to forget which was which

idk

that thing you throw

and return it back

[silver granite]

oh

the little red thing?

[lost egret]

yep

[silver granite]

yea that has a cooldown/limited charge

[lost egret]

I played wow, lol, rdr2 god of war etc but never happened something like that

[silver granite]

so in the game's beginning (which im assuming is where ur at), you have to beat it out of the enemy it's stuck in

[molten nymph]

maybe you're note in the right condition right now?

[lost egret]

tried yesterday too it was the same

[molten nymph]

hades is overwhelming but i don't think its that different from LoL teamfight

[silver granite]

you can change its behavior later in the game

nah ive played LoL a fair amount, it's no more chaotic than Hades, or vise versa

[lost egret]

i really dont know why, i am a diamond lol player so i have enough experience to say ive seen way more chaotic team fights

but never felt dizzy

[silver granite]

is it the colors, maybe?

[lost egret]

maybe

[sharp fossil]

is there colourblind mode in hades?

if there is you could try that

[silver granite]

i was just wondering that

im launching now just to see what i can change that would make it less disorienting

well first of all, actually, @lost egret what's your refresh rate/fps on hades?

[lost egret]

144 i geues

[rare obsidian]

Artemis cast poseidon sword builds are so great

[sharp fossil]

off the top of my head i know you can change the cursor to silver to make it more visible

not sure if that would help tho

[lost egret]

no it wont

[silver granite]

is vsync on?

[lost egret]

yes

[silver granite]

is screen shake on?

[lost egret]

yes

[silver granite]

turn that off

[lost egret]

ok

[silver granite]

turn bright cursor on if that helps, too

im assuming youre using keyboard/mouse

[carmine ravine]

take an aspirin?

[sharp fossil]

^

[rare obsidian]

Damn, charon's shop in styx is all athena though

[sharp fossil]

yeah honestly if this were me i’d just recommend sleep

but most people probably aren’t as sleep deprived as me lol

[silver granite]

you could also turn off damage numbers as it might be more similar to LoL and not be too many things on-screen where youre trying to focus @lost egret

[rare obsidian]

Hopefully I can still get exit wounds but no legendary for me

[lost egret]

not the damage

i am right now standing in my room

but when i sprint and the screen moves, thats what makes me feel bad

[silver granite]

oh

yeah it might be the screenshake then

[carmine ravine]

playing games standing

[lost egret]

yes i turned that off feels remarkabely better

[silver granite]

nice

[sharp fossil]

prolly uses a DDR pad like a pro gamer

[rare obsidian]

No exit wounds but +15% damage on crit is nice
