Btw I think itโ€™s a troll

distant night
#

this is depressing

tacit ember
distant night
#

troll?

brave dove
#

Cuz before they said loads of spoilers and only changed em to the spoiler box thing after being told god knows how many times

#

And more

distant night
#

they still do it

#

i dont think it's trolling it's just pure "idgaf" energy

brave dove
#

Or that yea

distant night
#

like they also spammed once when we couldnt answer their question

#

a little bit care for other players does nice things

#

I love Hades. I love the attention to the details, being able to walk up to a group of shades and listen to them chatter.
I love how this just feels like a place. Like it could be real.

#

I'm playing on god mode bc I'm a weak ass gamerrrgurl, but I've enjoyed it a lot. I love walking up to that one shade who cheers for Zag, to hear how is he going to thank them.

#

Lmao sgg having an advertising bot in their own server ๐Ÿ˜‚ didn't mean to get all sappy

brisk trail

Who runs the Supergiant twitter page?

brave dove

Wait wut

#

There's a shade with a Zag banner in the Arena

#

Among all the other banners of the boss

brave dove
#

LOL shade be like โ€œthesus sucks, go zag!โ€

#

question, when crosssaves are enabled will achievements be transferable? I have already unlocked a lot in the switch version and it would be cool for the achievements to transfer.

tacit ember
#

its called SHADEBRO

tacit ember
steady geyser
#

I came here because Zag looked like a Homestuck troll and now after playing the game I'm convinced Zag is Homestuck troll

tacit ember
#

ok

#

also

#

me: spends time preparing for ||hades fight||

#

||Hades||:no not this time u can go befor i change my mind

unreal panther
# tacit ember it no do that

fair enough it was a nice thought but whatev, this game is so good that I almost don't mind running through it again

brisk trail
#

hey there everyone

#

@brisk trail do you have any issues with your files?

brisk trail
distant night

brisk trail
#

distant night
tacit ember

the order of the files wouldn't show you anyting

All I want is an artemis room, why is everything ares :(

distant night

this is the wrong channel to ask about such stuff

tacit ember

thats all u will se from screen shot

brisk trail
distant night
#

brisk trail
#

you're nice

tacit ember

#

See you later! :)

distant night
#

i dont see why i should swear at somebody just looking for help, i also have issues with the game but basically gave up hah

tacit ember
#

now that i think about it

#

you could totaly compress a steam games folder and make like a bad torrent

#

but it wouldn't work

distant night
#

on steam, no

#

idk about epic games verification states

tacit ember
#

u will have a big file with all the informating but u cant use it

If you have issues with your game purchase, please use #h1-tech-support.

@Erik...............#8679, @distant night, or @brisk trail.

distant night
#

thanks, i already tried but it didnt really help but i'm fine with it as it is :)

I have unlocked all weapons , how to use titan blood now?

Remember to vote hades GOTY everyone zagluv

brisk trail
#

Whoever on the recruitment staff found the singer for Orpheus, man, he's a godsend (no pun intended). I mean, he can pull off falsetto like...well...you get the point. I've been singing for years, and I still have trouble with going that high up.

distant night
#

orpheus' singer is zag's and skelly's voiceactor too ๐Ÿง

brisk trail
#

...dude

But Zag is bad at playing the lyre at first

distant night

darren is god

Just looked him up. He's...man...just....i dont even know anymore

I bought the hades soundtrack just to support SGG. I'm gonna go check that stuff out o.o

tacit herald
#

Any info about the cross save?

brisk trail
#

actually, question, if you bought the soundtrack, where might it be located?

hades

#

is a good game

It's a work in progress. However, there's no eta on it as of yet.

thank you good maam

distant night

sure thing :)

brisk trail
#

im thinking once its dled, I'll just mute the in game music, and run the soundtrack in the background

steady crane
#

That bow with twin shot does a lot of damage on ||Hades||

#

Like a lot

vivid plover
#

Is Hades hard to run?

rustic valve
#

Sorta? It's not the easiest game out there, but with God Mode and once you've found a weapon you like, it's not nearly as hard as a lot of other rogue-likes or the Soulsborne games.

vivid plover
#

I meant specs for pc

winter harbor
#

I thought Sarcastic was asking about computer specs

rustic valve
#

oh, that wasn't obvious to me xD

vivid plover
#

Sorry ๐Ÿ˜…

brisk trail
rustic valve
#

And specs-wise, it can't be too harsh, given that it also runs on the Switch

#

but I never actually checked^^

vivid plover
#

Ok ๐Ÿ‘Œ I'd prefer to play with a dual shock than a switch controller

winter harbor
#

They did some fancy stuff turning 3D models into something that looks 2D

brisk trail
#

i believe controller compatibility is largely up to Steam's side on that front

vivid plover
#

I'll double check now, thinking of buying the game, heard nothing but great things about it

brisk trail
#

which they cover practically everything

winter harbor
#

Have you played any other roguelikes before?

brisk trail
#

ITS AMAZING. YES. BUY IT NOW. ITS SO GOOD YOU DONT EVEN KNOW

vivid plover
#

Enter the gungeon

brisk trail
#

BRUH...bruh...you...man....you need to. It's so tasty.

vivid plover
#

I mainly play JRPG's and Visual novels

#

I'll check my specs now ๐Ÿ‘€

brisk trail
#

@distant night
Solved my problem, game works epicly

cold raven
brisk trail
#

have no idea what the problem was, just worked

brisk trail
winter harbor
#

The developers made 3D models but they translated evrything into 2D

#

so it should run ok even on potato

slim grail
#

I can't beat hades with melee weapons. His huge swing always gets me. This is impossible

winter harbor
#

I feel like I'm actually better at melee

feral urchin
#

hit him when he's not swinging

winter harbor
#

also hide behind a pillar when he does his big laser attack

#

I want a big laser attack too

feral urchin
#

don't we all ๐Ÿ˜”

slim grail
#

@winter harbor that one i know but his huge swing is rly impossible because he can do it anytime while u attack him

feral urchin
#

you can dodge it

slim grail
#

And u dont have time to escape

feral urchin
#

there;s a white circle around him before he does it

#

you gotta dash twice to dodge it tho

#

I learned that the hard way

#

if you can, get some extra dashes from hermes

#

those always help

winter harbor
#

Get the extra dash from the mirror too

feral urchin
#

^

winter harbor
#

Also hidden fists gives you extra dashes

#

Since you said you were struggling with melee

rustic valve
#

Or do Zag fists and stack the Lambent Plume and Greater Evasion on top

#

when half the enemy attacks just whiff, it's kinda neat

slim grail
#

@feral urchin means i have to switch back from the mirror. Because that dodge dash helps me alot. But for hades, i have to switch back to 2x dash i guess haha

rustic valve
#

that was my first clear with the fists

feral urchin
#

i prefer more dashes

#

don't like letting fate choose when I get hit

slim grail
#

@rustic valve hmm that's a good tip against him

#

@feral urchin noted haha. Ok two dashes then

feral urchin
rustic valve
feral urchin
#

I'd rather get the auto-dodge from hermes still

rustic valve
#

Yes, I had that, the Plume and the Fists

feral urchin
#

even at the beginning the extra dashes just felt better

rustic valve
#

for close to 50% dodge chance

feral urchin
#

but that's just me i guess

slim grail
#

Really need those dashes against hades...

brisk trail
#

LAMENT OF ORPHEUS....๐Ÿ˜ญ SO GOOD...Q.q so heckin good...I love this game far too much

pardon the above

dusky estuary

Trying to get through 16 heat. EM4 with a bunch of other pact stuff turned on. It's a totally different game.

vivid plover

Very hyped ๐Ÿ‘€

Getting it today as well. The work at this studio is really inspiring to my own stuff๏ฟผ for whatโ€™s possible. I look forward to experiencing firsthand the โ€œbest rogue-lite available.โ€

#

This game is nearly perfect except it seems like Hypnos is never the featured houseservant which is obviously it's only flaw ๐Ÿ™ƒ

red tiger
#

maybe because he just SLEEPS ALL THE TIME

#

At some point thanatos even tells Hypnos he may lose his job if he keeps sleeping like this

I see no problem with this. I even bought him a bed

#

hey frens does anyone know how to get the legendary chaos boon because after 150+ runs I still haven't gotten it

winter harbor
#

You just need to get a chaos boon before it, but it's RNG after that

#

I've seen the chaos boon before, just never lasted long enough for it to actually turn into a boon

floral matrix
#

ugh I get that it's just it seems like they only show up once or twice and never light of ixion lol

tacit ember
#

do u mean the one that gives u a dd

floral matrix
#

yeah that one

tacit ember
#

i just got it the first time today

#

idk how

floral matrix
#

i just want to have it for the last prophecy

#

how many gates did you get??

tacit ember
#

i think u need one chaos

#

and u can get it??????????????

#

idk

floral matrix
#

it says only one prerequisite but even with rolls like sheesh

#

done like 5, 0 heat runs just aiming for it but nah

tacit ember
#

use the mirror more chanse to get legendary thing

half frost
#

where are decorative themes applied?

floral matrix
#

they're on traps and kinda on the walls but it's kinda hard to tell

#

I did use it smh I just get like one chaos gate per run lol

half frost
#

damn what a waste of diamonds

tacit ember

#

no

#

there like in the house of hades

#

u can have like flowers and carpets and crap

#

and if ur buying stuf for the under world

#

theyre not decorativ

glacial lagoon
#

would definitely buy all the non cosmetic stuff first

tacit ember
#

its like improvments to stuf

#

u have like fountan chambers and stuf

floral matrix
#

those are but like the princely themes and stuff kinda just add stuff to the walls

#

def buy those first

glacial lagoon
#

zag x arty is definitely a good ship

floral matrix
#

THANK YOU

#

they would be such a cute couple

glacial lagoon
#

best bow combo too

tacit ember
#

what about zag and shadebro

glacial lagoon
#

maaaan but shades don't really talk

floral matrix
#

they wouldn't be bad too but arty needs her zaggy boy

glacial lagoon
#

I always wondered if there would ever be more than 1 fan

tacit ember
#

no

#

saddly

half frost
#

is extreme measures hard lol

#

i maxed out the thing bc i got bored

winter harbor
#

The UI themes look so nice

#

my favorites are woodland and stygian

#

I think extreme meaqsures is nice, makes the game more difficult in a fun way and lets you get used to new boss patterns

glacial lagoon
#

oh that one

#

it's not difficult for me

#

I haven't gotten past styx with it though since benefits package has a minor prophecy so I almost always use that

#

I know it unlocks a little bit of dialogue for the Meg fight

quiet gull
upbeat sigil
#

i am trying to beat it right now

#

it keeps kicking my butt

glacial lagoon
#

oh man I've only tried 1, maybe I'll go to 4 next run

well

upbeat sigil

also, i feel em 3 is a substantial difference

nowhere near as big as em4

#

Oh hello. I've had so few champions victories, and I just got what's at least my second one on Aegis. I wonder if that's actually what I'm best with lol

#

Or idk it might just have been boons I got

#

I still, of course, don't have any DDs left coming out of it...

winter harbor
#

Knowing the synergies is good

glacial lagoon
#

champions were a huge difficulty curve for me

#

definitely gets easier with practice, keep going!

rancid ember
#

Champions are consistently either a full on wall or I just plain lose almost all my HP getting through them lol

glacial lagoon
#

hmm what keepsake are you using?

#

which one gives you more trouble? spear man or bull?

upbeat sigil
#

one who you want to beat, or one who you want to beat up?

#

lol

glacial lagoon
#

honestly, theseus is such an elitist

winter harbor
#

Asterius should be able to get nectar

#

Asterius has never been anything but respectful to Zag

glacial lagoon
#

agreed

upbeat sigil
#

at least he does seem to genuinely care about asterius though

glacial lagoon
#

tis as well! and maybe the other fury

upbeat sigil
#

one of the things i appreciate about supergiant's writing, their characters have real depth, they're not just one dimensional

winter harbor
#

But Tis learns her ||third|| word!

#

Mur... der?

faint burrow
#

|| So if I understand the story so far - Meg and Zag used to bump uglies right? seems like theyre trying to rekindle||

upbeat sigil
#

like, ||theseus|| may be kind of a prick, but he genuinely cares for ||asterius. We know he risked his station in elysium to get asterius there and seems genuinely upset whenever we kill asterius in combat, saying things like "that was my friend!"||

rancid ember
#

I don't even remember what keepsake I used for Elysium this run lol.

#

Also I'm dead now

#

Freaking snake stone @.@

winter harbor
#

Acorn and hourglass are both good for elysium

glacial lagoon
#

||what does bump uglies mean?||

upbeat sigil
#

like, the good characters can have bad aspects, like how many of the gods ironically have a bit of a god complex

faint burrow
#

๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐Ÿ‘Œ a relationship

upbeat sigil
#

or the "bad characters" have their reasons too

#

you know?

#

it's really excellent character writing and i really admire it

glacial lagoon
faint burrow
upbeat sigil
#

zeus is really full of himself, even for a god

faint burrow
#

i would be too if I was god of thunder and lightning

upbeat sigil
#

and then posiden is like, zeus-lite in that respect

winter harbor
#

He's like the top god

upbeat sigil
#

like, still full of himself, but more chill about it

winter harbor
#

But Poseidon could be even worse with the infidelity

rancid ember
#

Zeus is literally god of the sky and usually regarded as king of the gods

winter harbor
#

He fathered many monsters

upbeat sigil
#

nah, he's not worse because he's not MARRIED

#

glares at zeus

#

lol

faint burrow
#

xd

upbeat sigil
#

anyway, that's just a lot of procreation, so to speak

#

not infidelity

#

if he's not in a commited relationship

faint burrow
#

he could be a farmer with all the seed spreading hes doing

winter harbor
#

Poseidon was also married to a relatively obscure goddess, Amphitrite

Gah i needed artemis strike for this run to get stupid good and she isn't showing up in styx :(

Now I regret taking heart rend over that strike in asphodel

godess of birth and the sanctity of marrige
married to zeus, king of the gods
he's always down with mortals

for real, if he was going to be super unfaithful, he coulda at least married a god who isn't literally the goddess of marrige

people: haha hypnos sleep meme

cmon man, you're just doing her dirty at that point

have you unlocked the incresed duo boon chance? from the mirror?

Nope, haven't seen it, got more unlocking left to do on the mirror, guess it's further down below

#

All the duo boons have prereqs from both gods, so if you're hunting for duos in general, make sure you're taking from two or more gods

Awrf. Eris got nerfed to hell and back, didn't it? XD The duration of the damage boost literally got cut in half...

one very persistent duo boon is lightning rod (zeus - artemis) so try getting that?

balmy python
shadow rain
# faint burrow never seen a spot there <@!219679504866476032>

they show up with the same regularity they do in Asphodel, give or take. a little chime notifies you one is in the room with you (it plays after you clear encounters, or on entry in shops and free rooms). There's also a Well of Charon item you can buy to force one

distant night
#

there is no dialogue from achilles about the codex upgrade that comes before the upgrade.. i only remember one of him saying ||how glad he is that we work so well with it|| and zag asking ||why the codex works the way it does|| but that came way after i unlocked the codex index upgrade ๐Ÿค”

shadow rain
#

could always just be bad luck, though. I know someone who didn run into ||Eurydice|| until surprisingly many runs. Random gonna random ๐Ÿ˜†

random gonna random - well said! it really is infuriating if the dialogue pool rng keeps you from something important :c

#

Pierced Butterfly really seems to be the kind of keepsake you mostly want to have if you're already good enough at the game to not need it lol

#

ugh yes. I swear I spent like fifteen runs in a row where Meg either wasn't around or was in conversation so I could never chat with her/gift her nectar

cyan wedge
distant night
#

very

balmy python
#

I think I got an Achilles dialogue about the upgrade after I unlocked it but yea he's probably not associated with unlocking it

cyan wedge
#

Random is giving me some spiked blood pressure rn

distant night
#

since the boons you need for it to become available it shows up always while hunting duo boons and having zeus and artemis there ๐Ÿ˜€

distant night

#

Feels like I'm alone at my kitchen table rolling a D900 die or something

i like how dusa just yeets into the air after you talk to her

would be weird if achilles had a deeper understanding of the olympian boons ๐Ÿค”

#

Nyx might?

faint burrow
#

22k more darkness to go

shadow rain
#

for a bunch of the early unlocks I have no clue what triggered them because a lot of things kept happening at or around the same time

distant night
#

yeah there are just a few scripted things which are really consistent, wouldnt be mad about more scripted dialogues but with the amount of dialogue in the game... well what to prioritize and what not later on is hard to decide :)

cyan wedge
#

How can some boons be more easy to get? Is it because some boons come more often, so for instance the lighting rod ingredients are common boons from both zeus and artemis?

#

Or are you just fond of it because you are his cat?

distant night
#

i would say it has also something to dowith zeus being very insistent with his boons, he really likes giving you trade boons

brisk trail
#

prerequisites and such

cyan wedge
#

Ah so Zeus has a thing for divine joint operations

distant night
#

idk why lightning rod in particular just has this surrounding thing around it in the hades community that whenever you want a zeus duo you gotta dodge lightning rod many many times

cyan wedge
#

Haha alright, so a crack in the random then I guess, a fluke in the algorithm

buoyant frigate
#

When is next content patch for Hades? Did they say anything?

eternal marlin
#

Game is finished

void ginkgo
#

will there be balancing patches?

#

not saying things are unbalanced per se

eternal marlin
#

This year no more they said at the last one

shadow rain
#

Some Duos have more possible prereqs than others, too, which impacts "ease" in the sense that you're more likely to stumble on them randomly

#

There will be cross-saves between Switch and PC at some point, and the latest PC patch will come to Switch

#

Not sure if that's planned for this year still, though last I heard it was?

Everything the teamโ€™s said about it and other post-release topics is in #hades-faq shadesmile

Hm ok. I beat the game with most weapons now. Not much more to do besides cosmetics. Would be fun with some more areas, monsters, keepsakes, boons or weapons. I love the game, but a bit repetetive now after I have every weapon 20+ heat ๐Ÿ˜›

Ok great, thanks @tepid yacht

#

I can't speak to the game internals or raw probabilities there, though

cyan wedge
#

Thanks, I'll just keep on truckin then. 40 runs no duo lol, but now I know the mechanics better wish me luck

wind nest
#

I know how this works!

#

Boons spawn with 3 "boon slots"

#

then each boon slot rolls for a rarity.

#

First it rolls for legendary, then epic, then rare, then the fail case is common

shadow rain
wind nest
#

standard legendary boon drop rate is 10 percent I think?

carmine ravine
wind nest
#

So ~3/10 times you will roll a legendary/duo boon if available

#

the epic drop rate is actually lower at 5 percent

#

But the rarity is decided BEFORE the actual boon is decided on

shadow rain
#

If it can't fill with a legendary/duo does it fall back to heroic or just keep rolling?

carmine ravine
#

if u want epic boons just get exclusive access

wind nest
#

@shadow rain it won't even roll for legendary if a legendary isn't available

#

you don't get free probability at epic just because legendary has a roll chance

shadow rain
#

ah cool, thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

wind nest
#

The yarn upgrade doesn't help with legendaries I think

#

but the trinkets do

carmine ravine
#

from my experience it does but i have no practical way to prove that

steady crane
#

I just witnessed a Burn-Flinger jump out of an Athena's impervious buff

Is like if the enemy just wanted to die

hmm it says
The chances for Legendary Boons can be increased with specific gods' Keepsakes, Eurydice's Refreshing Nectar, Well of Charon item Yarn of Ariadne, and the Mirror of Night talent God's Legacy.

Can confirm that prereq of getting the codex index is: 1) codex, 2) fate list, 3) stumbling across a duo boon. Unlocked immediately after the run where I found one. It is really weird though that I with 40 run didn't come across A SINGLE DUO.

I mean who cares if you die? you get the most darkness from completing boss battles

so just get poseiden boon and use the glowing weapon for that run cause you get +20%

u dont rly need much darkness in first place, except u cares lot abt ranks

faint burrow
#

I need 25k to feel cool

#

the size of hade's aoe spear upsets me

shadow rain
#

You can get darkness instead of titan's blood/diamonds/ambrosia in boss fights on any heat where you've already collected the reward once

carmine ravine
#

we already said that

#

i gurss they dont rly incentivise the casual crown to go get bounty locked from heat 20 onwards in the first place

#

so theres no point in outting darkness too

#

they already made their point clear: that the ranks ae cosmetics only and isnt compulsary for anything at all

#

Please someone tell me that Bouldy is just the stone Cronus ate when he ate all the children

#

In greek lore its not so probably not

#

though a lot of things happen in Hades that don't happen in greek mythos so maybe

#

but I don't think Kronos is that huge

austere jacinth
#

I mean, when he was cut open, five gods came out sooo... size is mutable?

red tiger
#

I think thats something more about his weird magically stomach than anything

#

because he also just. didn't digest them

#

also he threw them up not cut open

#

like they were just sitting in his stomach for years and years not being digested

#

And somehow also were still babies?

austere jacinth
#

He did throw them up, yeah. But dude had room for 'em all

#

So he gotta be big, and have a huge throat.

can you not use summons in boss fights

you should be able to use your summon during boss fights, but not during the final one or the character you got it from though (so example you canโ€™t use Batty on the furies)

You can but you're limited at first

You believe in Bouldy

#

Neither does Skelly, but he works for someone else

viscid moss
#

what do you guys think about adding something more visual for the ||rail ammo||

#

i feel like it could do with something when it's running low, its rough to estimate how much more you got before you're out

#

something like a circle right next to zagreus that empties out

opal pollen
#

Is it just me or is Artemis' Deadly Strike completely subpar compared to any other boon that increases the standard attack damage ? Every time it's offered to me, I compare the damage values and it falls short all the time if you consider the value of chill or knocking effects.

viscid moss
#

it's cuz you need to account the average value that the crit% chance is giving you

opal pollen
#

I am.

viscid moss
#

crit is 15% on attack, so 15% of the time you'll be doing 3x damage

opal pollen
#

I know how % works and am counting them properly.

viscid moss
#

this includes the flat % increase you get from the boon

#

so youll be dealing 360% 15% of the time

opal pollen
#

where does your 360% comes from ?

viscid moss
#

(its also worth nothing that most other bonuses also get multiplied, like backstab damage and bonuses from other boons)

#

common artemis on attack is 20% stronger attack + 15% crit chance

#

so your base value without anything else is 120%

#

that x3 for a crit is 360

molten nymph
#

ok so regarding artemis

#

let's make a comparison on common vs the strongest modifier; aphro

#

aphrodite gives you a flat 50%, artemis gives you 20% and crit

#

which means, just this boon alone, artemis' modifier is 1.2(1+(0.15x2))

#

which adds up to 1.56

#

while this looks like a measly 6% difference

#

crit scales much better with other things

#

let's say you have a cast lodged in the enemy and boiling blood

#

with common aphro attack you get x2 attack modifier

#

with common artemis

#

you get x2.21

opal pollen
#

I have Aphrodite right now, Epic level 5 gives me +144% damage, Artemis Heroic level 5 in exchange would give me +70%. Are bad rolls possible ? I don't know yet if there can be variations on these.

molten nymph
#

there's a roll in the rarity modifier

opal pollen
#

With the hammer making all your sword attack do 25 damage, I calculated an average of 9760 damage for 100 hits with Aphrodite and 8075 damage with Artemis.

molten nymph
#

yeah, artemis' thing is it scales much better with other modifiers

#

like chaos

#

backstab

#

boiling blood

#

and of course heartrend

opal pollen
#

Isn't it just gonna scale the same way with non crit damage ?

molten nymph
#

no

#

modifiers are additive

#

so in my example

#

with aphro common attack; you get 1 + 0.5(Aphro) + 0.5(Boiling)

#

with artemis common attack you get (1 + 0.2 + 0.5) * (1 + 2x0.15)

opal pollen
#

Oh

#

Crits are applied at the end of the calculation then ?

molten nymph
#

yep

#

it multiplies everything

#

there's also the fact that on their secondary boons artemis has clean kill and pressure points while aphro only has that one +14% damage

#

and... heartrend

brisk trail
#

mmm heart rend

molten nymph
#

after some discussion i even believe that artemis is still the best even on nemesis

#

where it should have the most diminishing return

#

so... yeah

brisk trail
#

crits are crazy because they're multiplicative

opal pollen
#

So on a totally isolated case, crits are worse, but when applied with other status effect that increase damage it becomes better and better then ?

molten nymph
#

kind of, yea

#

when comparing them on common artemis is still 6% better

#

but its not worth the consistency imo

opal pollen
#

I should have looked for damage calculation, there's even a page on the wiki.

#

You're absolutely right.

#

Damage = Base Damage
ร— (1 + Sum of Critical Damage Bonus)
ร— (1 + Sum of Regular Damage Bonuses)
ร— (Product of (1 - Damage Reductions))

#

Boiling blood going into the regular damage bonuses

#

I'll run my numbers again.

Personally, I'm a bit afraid of going there to ask questions regarding the "true" end game (whatever it may be) since I'm not sure whether or not I've seen it yet.

Is there further end game || after the credits? ||

Odd stuff. Awesome game tho

pliant sparrow

for main story

#

still a ton of sidequests

||and an epilogue||

opal pollen
#

It's a bit of a shame how it's pretty much impossible to look anything into this game, fan content or review, without getting tons of little things spoiled.

misty jolt
#

Crazy that this game is 20-25 bucks

#

I mean when learning about the game I saw stuff about the final boss, and I didnโ€™t think it was a big deal at all

pliant sparrow
#

i mean just clear the main story w/ credits first, then start watching vids

misty jolt
#

Most obvious final boss ever if you ask me

#

I wasnโ€™t expecting credits tho. Thatโ€™s for sure

opal pollen
#

That's right, it totally slipped my mind that it's so cheap. I'm on my 5xth run and there's still so much to do.

Best thing about using ||excalibur|| is that it already has good damage so you can built more utility or experiment with other stuff

no

best sword hammer indubitably

optimal ||excal|| doesn't exist

u got a really good roll for that hammer though toothless those are my 3 favorite hammers on it

really can't go wrong

but i really don't want to run dashcalibur

what do you mean hammer

shadow slash is good tho

shadow slash is amazing too

ye more dmg from backstab

I got a chaos boon that gave me 91% backstab damage and shadow slash hammer

are you dying to the poison?

but also that yeah poison SUX

Pratice and experiment different builds

brisk trail
#

u can cure yourself on the little glowing sinks

The poison is a bit of an obstacle but it's mainly just that by the time I get there I've used up my defiance on the last two bosses.

#

Hydra really gives me issues with visual overload.

opal pollen
#

It's a rogue kinda game, meaning the in game build is one thing but your knowledge of monsters and their pattern is one hell of a resource to win you the game.

ah yeah

confidence too

I know what the Hydra is supposed to do but it does so much of it, if that makes any sense.

the boys used to take 1 or two of my defiances which made me way too weak to win

try getting the acorn once u get it you can ignore most attack from the main hydra and focus the tiny heads

brisk trail

try focusing on just one hydra head at a time

atleast until acorn is gone

the tips i can give to the hydra and heroes fight is:
for hydra you want to focus on one head at a time, from the furthest corner

#

for heroes you want to take it slow

brisk trail
#

kill asterius first

brave dove
#

^

#

thesus god call is annoying

#

and way better to deal with when his alone

brisk trail
#

yep

brave dove
#

asterius is also very predictable

brisk trail
#

I focus on Asterius, and I do one head at a time. :/ I guess I'm just really flippin bad.

brave dove
#

the most u have to fear is taking dmg from thesus throwing spears at you

#

is it okay for me to post a link to a funny tweet I made about Hades and Poseidon in here or is there a better channel for that?

#

That's what I did for the Hydra but I found that it made me stick to a single area and I ended up taking hits whereas by switching left and right at times, I can avoid getting cluttered by monsters and AOE.

brisk trail
#

keep the boys separated

brave dove
#

hmm what weapon are u using?

serene smelt
#

(sorry to interrupt btw)

brave dove
#

post it if u want

rain thorn
#

I was playing vs the duo in a very weird way where I ignored Asterius and focused Theseus first, it seemed to work for me but now after I heard hear to focus the bull first it definitely is a lot easier.

agile cargo
#

i sometimes see those in #fan-works but im not sure either

#

the funny posts i mean

brisk trail
#

also take care of the lil hydra eggs immediately

#

divine dash helps a lot in that fight

brave dove
#

im fighting the hydra rn and im only using special and cast..

#

with sword 4....

brisk trail
#

lmao

brave dove
#

the slow attacking sword....

brisk trail
#

I mean

#

u take 9 damage for a combo

brave dove
#

cuz yeah i have the chaos boon where if i attack i take 5 dmg

brisk trail
#

oh 15 then

brave dove
#

so... i have to spam special

#

and cast

molten nymph
#

lol

brave dove
#

but it does take care of the tiny monsters that sprout from the bone eggs

#

and also destroys the eggs while i spam special

rain thorn
#

yikes that sounds harsh

brave dove
#

so thats good atleast

rain thorn
#

to have a chaos boon during boss fight

brisk trail
#

I would probably just attack to get it over with

rain thorn
#

Do you have a companion? that could help.

brisk trail
#

im not patient lol

brave dove
#

i do yeah

#

||skelly||

molten nymph
#

always check room number before you meet great granpa zuikaku

brisk trail
#

glucose guardian chaos

rain thorn
#

I usually just ||Battie|| the hydra ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

serene smelt
#

@agile cargo thanks so much for the advice ๐Ÿ™‚ I put it in there. You guys have a good night.

brisk trail
#

I never use a companion for hydra but I prob could

brave dove
#

||im trying to get bouldy rn||

#

i wish i have the artermis call rn

#

just DELETE the hydra

molten nymph
#

||em2|| hydra i can often ||meg|| like... at least 4 heads at once

brave dove
#

i used up 1 DD but atleast hydra gonna die

brisk trail
brisk trail
rain thorn
#

It saves you time I guess not sure if its recommended to use a companion, I almost always find at least one ||night spindle||

brave dove
#

hmmm

#

spear and shield...

molten nymph
#

ah yes, my favorite melee weapon, ||rama||

brave dove
#

idk much about it

#

tho

#

i find when i use shield

#

double hit hammer thing

#

with support fire can rack up alot of arrows

#

i forgot the name of the hammer that makes shield attack hit twice

rain thorn
#

I think I am an exclusive twin fists player, when can I call myself that?

molten nymph
#

oh

#

fun tip on hydra

brisk trail
#

Gun is alright but I get super nervous using it.

molten nymph
#

if you're only vs the main head

brave dove
#

hydra deadddd

molten nymph
#

...you can actually outrange him and delete his projectile

#

with spear

brave dove
#

i dont use the gun

molten nymph
#

just stand dead center on the stage and as far away as possible

brisk trail
#

I hate sword and bow. Fists are alright with the right boons.

brave dove
#

heck i barely made it to elysium with gun meanwhile with sword i have like 6 final boss kills

molten nymph
#

no hammer/boon required

rain thorn
#

The gun is easier too imo, I have very bad mechanics and thought shield, gun were easiest to clear with, though I just liked the gloves too much to switch to them.

brisk trail
brave dove
#

sword fans unite

rain thorn
#

11 mins pain

brisk trail
#

heart rend nemesis is crack

brave dove
#

rain thorn
#

Do you even break all pots in every room, it's mandatory

#

jk

brave dove
#

with sword 4
the first run i did right after getting sword 4 was my fastest

brisk trail
#

I also sadly wasted 2 diamonds on the office because I thought it would DO something...

molten nymph
brave dove
#

u mean administrative chamber?

brisk trail
#

Yeah

#

Couldn't think what it was called

rain thorn
#

Mine's 22 iirc but I generally take 25-30 mins plus I usually pause many times.

molten nymph
#

nah, none of the diamond upgrades do anything iirc

brave dove
#

it unlocks some story iirc

brisk trail
#

my rail clears are one 32 heat Eris clear and one 0 heat hidden clear

brave dove
#

excuse me what

#

32 heat?

brisk trail
#

yeah

#

I wanted the ||statue||

molten nymph
#

is it worth selling your soul to eris?

brisk trail
#

Funny enough, I hate the gun but one of my runs where I made it to Styx was with the gun. I just brought it to beat Hydra and got lucky.

#

first try btw

molten nymph
#

admittedly its a hot ||statue||

cedar imp
#

is ice wine having delay on secret shield aspect intended?

brisk trail
#

I was surprised at how not difficult it was

#

Y'all are clearly waaaay better than me though lmao

brave dove
#

||wut do the statues do anyway||

brisk trail
#

nothing

#

except look nice

#

ive got like 90 hours in this game

#

u will get better with time trust me

#

How many escape attempts seem average before you beat it for the first time?

brave dove
#

i beat final boss on my 46th try

brisk trail
#

varies pretty widely

rain thorn
#

No I am worse than you, I can assure you that

brisk trail
#

I know someone who beat it on their 6th try, I beat it on my 21st

chrome portal
brave dove
#

this was my first roguelike

chrome portal
#

My fiancรฉe did 15 I think?

brisk trail
#

Oof that hurts, I've got 30 attempts and I've beaten Theseus and Asterius only twice.

chrome portal
#

theseus is a hard boi

#

but once you figure it out he's not so bad

brisk trail
#

I still have issues with Hydra sometimes lmfao.

rain thorn
#

I do not even remember such things, I have played the game like 105 times so far and can only consistently clear now. My goal rn is to get those statues ๐Ÿ™‚

brisk trail
#

ive definitely lost DDs to hydra recently
