i dont think athena works with the blades
brisk trail
yeah but what if I don't waaaaant athena attack
pliant sparrow
the normal projectiles are kinda the same across the game so idk why alecto would be special
rustic valve
She spams a ton of them
brisk trail
maybe shed be too easy otherwise
pliant sparrow
tisiphone is worse
brisk trail
tisiphone dies in <30 seconds every time
rustic valve
Like the witches, but all around
pliant sparrow
meg spams them too
molten nymph
eh, i find tisiphone to be the easiest
brisk trail
I still have no idea what I'm doing vs alecto
molten nymph
....though admittedly i can't remember her projectile pattern
meg you need to dash to behind her
alecto is ???
brisk trail
she fires lots of projectiles in waves
molten nymph
i think i need to get away
pliant sparrow
all she has is a dash, mini aoe attack, projectiles in waves
brisk trail
that u have to dodge through
pliant sparrow
kinda like a better meg ig
molten nymph
oh right waves
yeah
she usually just dies so fast
especially if you have athena dash
brisk trail
a meg that only has 2 invuln phases and doesn't summon stuff

certain boons require you to have another boon before being able to find them, if i have a prerequisite boon but then sell it am i still able to find those boons that require it?
rapid forum
nope
warped atlas
alright, makes sense, thank you
waxen juniper
What's a good athena-centric build?
waxen juniper
For now, I'm thinking any non-hidden shield aspect.
I just revealed the hidden aspect, but I don't have the titan blood for it yet
waxen juniper
I almost had a pretty solid zag shield athena run, but the damage was trash.

Last of Us II dev needs to chill

wong chanel?

that's the problem: they won't
sweet basin
all these Twitter personalities talking garbage about Hades just because it's on track to win the game awards.
brisk trail
this dudes channel reeks
calm laurel
you'd think it'd be the opposite but ig they're allergic to quality
sweet basin
fr
calm laurel
wait...
waxen juniper
There wasn't a very good way to scale damage with the athena run I did. At least as far as I can tell.
last wing
what all should i focus on in the mirror
sweet basin
I agree the clickbaity thumbnails and titles are trash but he roles out news I sometimes care about
brisk trail
which skills do you have unlocked rn burg
last wing
can i post pic here?
waxen juniper
Sadly no
brisk trail
which is the lowest on the list that u have
waxen juniper
Also, can I please have some help answering my previous question? I fear it's about to be lost in the convo
brisk trail
because the most impactful mirror skills imo (at least early) are death defiance and greater reflex
calm laurel
we moved on quick lol
brisk trail
Athena is a defense oriented god so she's not gonna have crazy dmg
last wing
i have 2 death defiance and max dash then 10% boiling blood
waxen juniper
What is good synergy with athena +shield?
alpine yarrow
i like athena attack/dash and ares special with merciful end
waxen juniper
Is that the boon that lets deflect deal doom damage
waxen juniper
Any others? I had a solid doom run and I wanna try and do something different. I definitely will keep this in mind though
alpine yarrow
so pretty good for special then bull rushing in and using ur attack
brisk trail
charged shot is fun on chaos aspect
waxen juniper
What's charge shot?
brisk trail
charged shot is my favorite shield hammer
alpine yarrow
me too haha
brisk trail
turns bull rush into a piercing laser beam
alpine yarrow
turns bull rush into a bullet
brisk trail
with 80 base dmg
waxen juniper
Oh, that one
alpine yarrow
the artemis + athena duo gives +20% crit chance after deflecting
waxen juniper
That actually sounds really good with attack deflect
alpine yarrow
which is rlly good with athena dash artemis attack
alpine yarrow
waxen juniper
Sounds like you just like charged shot in general 😆
brisk trail
I was really sleeping on aphros stuff
I do
I've also taking a liking to demeter attack lately
really really like it on spear
alpine yarrow
aphro attack and ares special with charge shot and curse of longing is one of my fav builds
i like the demeter attack on fists the most because it stacks so fast and the slow is nice for being so close
waxen juniper
Ooo, speaking of. What are good aspects to use for Aphro+Demeter duo? It's a strange one, but I can see it's potential
alpine yarrow
honestly not sure i dont find myself using too much
brisk trail
I just had a run with it w Poseidon sword it was fun

waxen juniper
I had a crazy hidden spear build with crystal beam. But as soon as I took the duo, it all went down the drain 😫
brisk trail
I had like 3-4 lasers all firing at me constantly
rapid forum
cold embrace is better than crystal clarity imo
waxen juniper
Would you say cold embrace is better with the close up weapons?
waxen juniper
Oh nice! I still got a ways to go I think
rapid forum
I mean, most weapons for cast builds are close up weapons
waxen juniper
Hidden spear I would not consider to be a close up weapon like that
How does aspect of Hera work with crystal beam? That seems like a weird combination
rapid forum
I did say most >:D
Achilles, Poseidon, and Talos are pretty good with Cold embrace
tho achilles takes the cake
brisk trail
it does not work with hera
waxen juniper
Which one is Talos again?
waxen juniper
So the magnetic cutter one. Got ya
Oh... That actually sounds incredibly good with cold embrace
waxen juniper
Remind me what that one is
wanton oar
Does the doge chance from the fists stacks with the lambent plume ?
brisk trail
yeah
curse of drowning is ares/poseidon duo
ur cast is a pulse that damages stuff around u
personally not a fan
waxen juniper
Ohh, that one. I haven't gotten it yet, but I have seen Haelian play with it
waxen juniper
I was really sleeping on aphros stuff
After looking at the boons again, I definitely get that. Weak doesn't seem like the most insane effect and aphro's boon pool is filled to the brim with them.
brisk trail
she has the highest % dmg increase on attack/special
and 30% damage reduction can be a run saver
Oh yeah, I never took aphro before joining this server and seeing the light
I used to think she was the worst god
and she's got crazy duos
waxen juniper
I used to think she was the worst god
Who do you think that is now?
brisk trail
Poseidon
waxen juniper
Poseidon has some bangers too, so that actually says a lot about the quality of the gods as a whole.
brisk trail
every god has at least something going for them
exclusive access and mirage shot are stupid good
Oh yeah, he's just the one I'm least thrilled to see
Unless I'm specifically looking for him
for me that would be ares
I will always welcome Funny Uncle into my run
waxen juniper
I don't think I have preferences yet. I am at the stage where I just like to mess around and try different things.
Ares was God Tier in my Zeus aspect run!
Doom doom and more doom 😆
brisk trail
I usually play heavy hitting aspects so ares doesn't help much
waxen juniper
That's fair
brisk trail
ill eat a sock before I take doom attack on hidden sword lol
warped iron
😩
waxen juniper
Yea... don't do that to yourself misty
Doom has its place: hidden sword is definitely not the place.
brisk trail
I think its crazy how good hidden sword is without boons
rapid forum
alright boys
I have an idea
Achilles + Aphro cast
this sounds terrible
and I'm gonna do it
brisk trail
aphro cast goes hard
waxen juniper
Oh... Ngl, that sounds like it has potential
brisk trail
what other cast gets 2.6k crits
waxen juniper
It sounds quite powerful.
brisk trail
ngl I did miscalculate my range a buncha times and whiffed my cast tho lmao
Well, both Phalanx Shot and Trippy Shot hit harder than Crush Shot, sooo...
not as fast
u can spam the hell out of crush shot
True.
I wanna see heroic flurry cast crush shot
waxen juniper
Ooo, speaking of. What is everyone's thoughts on phalanx shot? I think that's the cast I take the least right now.
brisk trail
I lose it all the time
not a fan
like I shoot it and have no clue where it ends up
I think it's nice for a safe opening
if not for that I'd really like it
It's perfectly fine, it's just not super sexy.
Lightning Phalanx is cool, but it still moves a little slow on its own.
it's the cast that always ends up across the entire map for me
gets stuck in weird places
waxen juniper
Do you have aim assist active?
waxen juniper
tbh, that sounds like a bug.
brisk trail
its just the nature of phalanx shot having tons of range
when other casts have a cutoff point
waxen juniper
Ohhh, yea that can be an issue without aim assist. One bad angle can ruin it
brisk trail
I mean it has some homing to it
waxen juniper
So how's it screwing you over like it is then? I think I am confused
waxen juniper
It just started. Got to get comfortable with it first
brisk trail
it's got too much range, so it ends up in weird corners of the room
this is especially apparent in the hydra fight
so if I miss a shot I have to go on a scavenger hunt for my bloodstone
waxen juniper
Ohhh, that can definitely be a problem.
Also, do you have Extreme measures on for that fight?
waxen juniper
I tried having it on for the first fight. Trust me, that didn't last very long 😆
Ooo, that'd be cool if Phalanx shot had an upgrade that increases its radius.
carmine ravine
hydra and theseus are actually easier with em
waxen juniper
I dunno. Hydra is easy as is.
carmine ravine
its smaler so easier to do aoe on the heads in short time,
waxen juniper
Ah, I see what you are saying
carmine ravine
adn thesues dont annoy you with his spears so easier to cheese the bull
brisk trail
I'd only take em3 if I had to
I much prefer the regular fight, way easier to nuke them both when they reach phase 2
carmine ravine
it is easier since they both are pretty slow and tend to initiate the shockwave atk, but a little harder to approach theseus unless with stuff like rail special
rustic valve
unless the bull gets the idea of "spin to win" in EM3
which is hella annoying^^
but otherwise I agree that EM3 might also be a tad faster/easier
brisk trail
||beyblade of death||
carmine ravine
havent died to it yet
brisk trail
my strat for regular is
- get asterius to phase 2 while ignoring theseus
- get theseus to phase 2 while ignoring asterius (who is most likely jump attacking on top of me)
- summon ||than||
- win
heroes is the fight i look forward to the least when pushing heat
waxen juniper
I feel heroes is always the deciding factor on whether or not I have a decent run.
If I don't, they are very quick to tell me.
brisk trail
elysium is always the longest part of my runs
tartarus and asphodel are like 4 and 3 minutes while elysium is 5-6
brisk trail
if elysium is a slog I go into crisis mode in styx
brave dove
with bow 4
brisk trail
like we gotta get some upgrades
brave dove
good bye crowds lol
brisk trail
that's my inner sinvicta talking
brave dove
same if im at styx and i have like no good boons i just decide im gonna lose unless i get good boons
brisk trail
5 sack is a real spirit killer
brave dove
yup
waxen juniper
5 sack just means more stuff
brisk trail
anyways I can usually win regardless, unless if I'm using zag spear in which case I will lose
5 sack means doing 2 non boss rooms which take years
going into styx at 9 minutes then getting a 5 sack took a piece of my soul
brisk trail
learn dash timing
modest lantern
Yeah, I just need to get generally.. better at the game
I've mastered all popular roguelikes so
brisk trail
not trying to say git gud or anything it's just that timing your dash is essential in that fight
waxen juniper
Imagine dying on hades
Oh, been there done that plenty of times
modest lantern
No, I most definitely have to 'git gud'
If I could actually keep my 3 death defiances
brisk trail
getting better at fighting The Boys will help you in the long run
kill asterius first
brave dove
where are u losing all your DDs?
also learn when bosses begin their impervious time
so u dont waste a call on them when their just before an impervious time
modest lantern
Usually one on the fight with asterius and Theseus and sometimes one on the final floor with all the poison.
brave dove
oof yeah poison SUX
brisk trail
u can cure poison at the glowing sinks
brave dove
get used to dashing behind enemies and backstabbing them
so u can repeat the same on thesus
brisk trail
are you taking acorn? that can help you with the bossfights
brave dove
just imagine him as a shield guy
modest lantern
I know Theseus walks away when he throws his spear
So, that's the best time to hit him
brave dove
yup
brisk trail
ye, after he spin attacks too
modest lantern
Usually the spear
brave dove
if u get hammer enchants or chaos boons that increase backstab dmg get them too
waxen juniper
Also, kill Asterius first. I know misty said that already, but it's crucial in the beginning.
brave dove
oof i dont use the spear much
ye thesus second phase sux when asterius is around
gotta avoid the god call aoe from thesus
thesus' spin
and asterius
at the same time
modest lantern
I can easily kill asterius but Theseus just
brave dove
so ye get asterius
waxen juniper
All comes down to dashing at the right time really
brave dove
if u come across hermes
brisk trail
I've honestly completely forgotten what theseus phase 2 looks like LOL
brave dove
try getting hyper sprint
hyper sprint allows u to dash away from him incase his doing spin or so
brisk trail
lategame privilege
brave dove
if ur unable to dodge those
brave dove
it also helps u get out of the AOE god calls he does during phase 2
brisk trail
empty dashes have i-frames
brave dove
unless its artermis god call then u just hug the sides
modest lantern
I want to complete some achievements but I am missing the bottom Artemis boon
brisk trail
what's it called
modest lantern
Lemme check
modest lantern
Exit wounds
brisk trail
tip for spear is that you can dash out of spin attack
If you've got multiple dashes from hermes and divine dash from athena, that helps a lot. If you're a bit late dashing through the spin attack, it basically saves you
gives it way more range
Also- dodge chance.
athena dash numbawan
cultured avi
modest lantern
Okay, this may make me a noob but I don't have the 30 key upgrades yet
Hell, that's probably why I'm loosing
brisk trail
i see you are bad little boy
brave dove
nah das fine
brisk trail
nah those take a while
they aren't too impactful imo
at least at the very start w them
brave dove
i beat final boss multiple times so far and still havent maxed the mirror
brisk trail
what are you using on the mirror?
I'm 2 fated authority levels from completely maxing the mirror
it's gonna feel so good
modest lantern
2, 3, 9 and 10 are green
brisk trail
I havent maxed out all of the mirror yet either and I'm on about eighteen clears
I usually run bottom 4 green
waxen juniper
I'm on my 52nd run and I finally unlocked the rest of the mirror on run 50
brisk trail
I dont have many green, and it took me ages to unlock everything on the mirror
i cannot remember mirror order for the life at me but it's usually all purple except bottom 4
chtonic vitality / dark regen is more preference
modest lantern
I'm just upgrading the stuff I use for now
brisk trail
but if you haven't cleared yet dark regen should be better imo
DD is better if you're struggling with bosses, SD is better if you're struggling w encounters
brave dove
wut SD do again
brave dove
rez?
brisk trail
resurrect
brave dove
oh
brave dove
so like 1 DD that replenishs every room and only heals 30%
brave dove
i got my sword up to 9 heat so im rn just farming blood on other weapons
modest lantern
I'm assuming the heat mechanic is unlocked after killing hades?
brave dove
i still have 3 DD but the acorn helps me tank so much dmg

flash back to when i didnt realise you could change keepsakes during a run
brave dove
well i dont think u could until u renovate
brisk trail
tbf it's an unlock
real edge
it was after my 7th clear

brave dove
for me i didnt know there was a green side on the mirror still my 8th clear

The magnetic one is pretty fun

brave dove
||guan yu is basically putting LC on you||

It has Redwood hitboxes.
yeah but its slowwwww
brave dove
bow

fist

I hate guan yu. I regret maxing it 
brave dove
or shield instead of fist
brisk trail
Its Special? I disagree. It's not monster fast, but none of the 4th Aspects are.
modest lantern
Idk, I've gotten all the blood from the first boss
brisk trail
all of em are slow but some feel different than others
brisk trail
hidden spear and fists feel desperate while sord feels calculated, bow feels powerful, shield feels strong
brave dove
oof

modest lantern
I can usually get all titan blood that's on special
molten nymph
anyway, there's a trick to test drive weapons
well not really a trick
but if you give up your run you'll return to the last time you entered skelly room
modest lantern
How do I learn to play the lire
brisk trail
keep playing it
molten nymph
so if you buy weapon -> start run -> give up
the save will rollback to before you buy the weapon
brisk trail
keep making bad noises until you start making good noises
like learning an instrument irl
modest lantern
Where do I do that
brave dove
for ur first clear just play the most comfortable weapon u play with
brisk trail
if you interact with it 5 times before you start each run you'll get good decently fast
brave dove
i dont like EM2 Hydra
modest lantern
So I just spam the use button until I do good?
brisk trail
p much
brave dove
no room to dash
brisk trail
just use hidden sord special 4head
If you were extremley patient you could literally do it in a single sitting.
carmine ravine
u got the whole room to dash
brave dove
i usually dash into lava :P
brisk trail
You don't even have to exit Zag's room, it will progress to the final stage fluidly.
You will have to do several runs to run all the conversations with Orpheus.
carmine ravine
then dont dash into lava

What are people's thoughts on Hammers with % damage to armor? At first I was like these are awesome!
Now I never pick them cause they don't help agaist bosses
brisk trail
I guess only if I run ||benefits package lvl2 with other bs modifiers||
I tend to pick them from time to time if I'm running a hangover or dot related build and I need to burn through the armor to speed things along
like a Doom, Rupture, or that debuff that comes from one of Zeus' boons
Jolted
Granted I prefer chonky numbers so Sword 4, Spear 4, or Gun Bomb/Rocket build is what I play.
rustic valve
I pick them over a few other hammers, but they're not my top spot
They're still useful, so it's not like I never pick them, but there's better hammers
At least as far as my experience goes

You don't need that. I google it and it's just a || statue ||.
No achievement, no fated list item
drowsy warren
molten nymph
i don't think sissy's keepsake is good for 32
sage depot
LET THEM HAVE THEIR STATUE
severe flare
the first and second ones are statues so the 3rd one should be... you know it?
molten nymph
i think the ||statue|| should be put in spoiler
severe flare
OK
molten nymph
anyway, people try to avoid AP until really high heat, so i don't think sisy for 32 is necessary
acorn helps a lot for the final boss at that heat
||you need to be buddies with the olympian||
severe flare
No, he hasn't get it yet
severe flare
also how do I ||trigger the epilogue||?
Keep giving Nectar/Ambrosia to ||Persephone||. Keep talking to her too.
severe flare
If she hasn't return to the House of Hades yet, you need to beat Hades every time and talk to her every time.
drowsy warren
alright epic
severe flare
iirc, keep giving Nectar to ||Hades||. Keep talking to him, too
don't worry, he's very kind. He'll ||return all 5 Nectar to Zag||
severe flare
after that, you trigger the epilogue. You can see the requirements (whom) to be given Nectar/Ambrosia on the Fated list (Zag's bedroom).
drowsy warren
👍
sturdy schooner
Does giving Nectar to ||bouldy|| do anything or is it just a Nectar dump?
molten nymph
it gives a random 2% buff
drowsy warren
can you see which buff it gives to?
brisk trail
nope
if you just upgraded and haven't left the room yet
you can just quit cause it won't save
but aside from that no
nocturne ginkgo
I decided to start recording a hell mode playthrough but I keep dying embarassing deaths to stupid things that I never die to when I'm not recording
dang lmao
slim grail
but aside from that no
oh no.. you mean the only way for me to get those titan blood by adding more heat?
brisk trail
you can get them from prophecies and trading as well
also the final shop in styx if you can save till then
nocturne ginkgo
Once you find a weapon you feel comfy with getting to styx with a pocket full of money is easy for a free diamond/blood
I constantly just go 0 heat just to get to styx then die to poison
slim grail
you can get them from prophecies and trading as well
i have 9 of those potion thingy when u beat theseus. Looks like they're my only option to get titan blood but.. is that the only potion is use for?
nocturne ginkgo
they are also used as a gift to unlock hearts
slim grail
you use them to max your bond with characters
nono. not the nectar... that other one after u beat the 3rd boss
brisk trail
yeah, ambrosia
the option to give them ambrosia only appears once you give enough nectar and unlock the locked heart
slim grail
I constantly just go 0 heat just to get to styx then die to poison
that works? hmmm looks like time to get diamond
slim grail
the option to give them ambrosia only appears once you give enough nectar and un...
OHH.. i maxed out by simping to achilles. So i can give him the ambrosia now?
nocturne ginkgo
yeah the shop in styx will always offer either a diamond for 1000 or a titan blood for 1200
brisk trail
most characters have specific conditions that have to be fulfilled in order to unlock their heart
latent knot
so when are supergiant releasing the dating sim dlc
nocturne ginkgo
this is a dating sim though?
I mean have you seen bouldy
That seems like not a good message
latent knot
I mean have you seen bouldy
true true
nocturne ginkgo
I recognized like three words in that and went Uhoh

i thought my keepsake stay unlocked because i left one more to give nectar to
brisk trail
your keepsake?
nocturne ginkgo
also the cthonic coin purse keepsake is good too
tight agate
does aegis blitz proc support fire?
bronze badge
Are there any DLCs or sequels planned for Hades? There is so much potential to do more with Greek Mythology and this playstyle.. I would looooooooove more of this
even more stories and not just Zagreus
"just" lol
rustic valve
SGG don't typically do DLC and they've not hinted at either DLC or a sequel
anything beyond a few more balance patches seems unlikely
bronze badge
I see... maybe they will surprise us with something even greater 🙂
rustic valve
there have been some hints at cut content found through datamining and that might, possibly happen maybe
But it's probably just cut and not preparation for updates.
bronze badge
👍 arigato
fervent bane
Can't we raise a go fund me?
Also any update on Nintendo cross save or how easy the process will be once implemented
rustic valve
That would probably show up in #announcements or #hades-patch-notes if there were any.
tight agate
oh also does blitz shield continually act as a as deflecting object with the athena boon
faint flume
yes
rustic valve
because shield is painful to use 😉
More seriously: Because it's all personal preference
You can make all weapons work
SGG probably has pick rate statistics, but otherwise I don't think we know which weapons are more or less popular
Except for speedruns, where Eris Rail dominates
faint flume
well that's because Eris rail has a really easy way to get bonus damage
rustic valve
yup
and plenty of it, too
and if you get the right hammers, that gets really strong really fast
brisk trail
just stopped playing hades
tight agate
I mean blitz deflect see,s rea;;y rea;;y op though I have never used it
most enemy attacks would get deflected
brisk trail
cuz i died a stupid death to meg
tight agate
wew after a few days of playing hades for 16 hours a day I burnt out
fleet nimbus
what happens when I give a character max nectar
nocturne ginkgo
Dang I keep dying in really stupid ways when trying to get this first hell mode run done
base sword is really hard
unreal shard
guys is there an Arabic subtitle in hades ?
rapid mantle
Hey all, maybe this was mentioned already but there's just so much to pay attention too I missed it. Does Hades have cross save with Nintendo switch yet? If not, are they working on it still or did they do away with that plan?
void vigil
guys is there an Arabic subtitle in hades ?
nope
quiet gull
Hey all, maybe this was mentioned already but there's just so much to pay attent...
They're still working on it, though the date is TBD
rapid mantle
thank you! I will only plan on buying the Switch version if they come out with cross save. Otherwise I'll stick to PC
brisk trail
if I noticed something that seems like a bug where can I report it ? 
void vigil
using F10 if you’re on PC, and #h1-tech-support if you’re on switch
brisk trail
Even if it's for something regarding damages bug ? 
void vigil
What do you mean?
brisk trail
Basically my aspect of ||Gilgamesh|| says that I do "250" base Maim damages, but it only does 200 :p
void vigil
Yeah, go ahead and report it
brisk trail
and you deal more damages to the enemy afflicted by it !
alright ty
I tried using F10
it only made my game crash for some reasons
:p
swift ginkgo
but there is not way to increase maim damage (the burst damage after a few seconds) however
swift ginkgo
have you? which ones?
brisk trail
I don't know which ones
tacit ember
general damage ones i would asume
swift ginkgo
the max damage is 400, and you cannot change that
swift ginkgo
yes but the maim damage (doom like one) is fixed, and depends on the aspect upgrade
it's not influenced buy any boons

runic agate
I just had one of my most broken runs EVER
I was doing 150dmg every .35 seconds
Dion area duo plus pom blossom
Is broken
I'ma put it up in boasting in a sec
brisk trail
sweet nectar doesn't affect pom blossom
runic agate
I think we all know that
Dion ares duo is "your hangover effects do dmg every .35 seconds instead of .50 seconds"
I think sweat nectar is posiden aphro
And the post blossom part was cuz it made me have a level 11 drunken strike
@brisk trail
runic agate
-_-
brisk trail
i didnt get much sleep last night
runic agate
Go look in boasting
and i had hoarding slash with 1k coins
soooooo
and a chaos boon for +80% attack dmg
and the urge to kill ares boon so i was doing like 120 dmg per hit without the hang over
so everything kinda just melted
@brisk trail
this was a sword run btw
it was my most broken build EVER
gritty gyro
heya
Any news on DLCs?
i miss history after endgame
ah
i searched here
looks like no news until now
gritty gyro
confirmed no dlc or no news?
quiet gull
DLC is very unlikely
gritty gyro
that doesnt mean they will never do it...
runic agate
would you rather dlc or a free update?
gritty gyro
dlc will likely never be a thing
dlc doesnt mean its paid content, it can be a free update expansion that adds more things...
downloadable content = dlc
pliant sparrow
bastion dlc is a thing
carmine ravine
like a silly hat
pliant sparrow
therefore, supergiant has put dlc out for their games
runic agate
bruh
pliant sparrow
it was a sizable chunk of content too
carmine ravine
so u call GoT legends dlc is an update?
rustic valve
Nah, DLC still can be free, there's plenty of examples of that
runic agate
DLC means paid. non-paid DLC is just called an update.
exactly
the term DLC was made for not free content
the term update is more suitable for the meaning of free content
carmine ravine
not rly, dlc comes from expansions
rustic valve
yeah
carmine ravine
which is free mostly
rustic valve
These days, even board games and RPGs have DLC sometimes, which is free and includes stuff like extra plot hooks or content they couldn't fit in the pages they had available for printing
Bonus characters from Legends of Andor, for example
carmine ravine
i guess they probably just used to only play triple a games so they dont know about those free dlcs
eternal pawn
the ultimate hades flex is having a transparent controller and fishing when you see the rightmost metal weight spin for the rumble effect 😎
strong token
Oh it rumbles?
I had no idea bc I’ve been playing handheld switch this whole time haha
I have a very important question
Why do the tiny chariots meow?
quiet gull
Why WOULDNT they meow?
strong token
So it sounds like a meow to everyone else/is intended to sound like one? Just making sure I’m not crazy...
rose quest
Anyone max out title? Any idea how long it takes?
strong token
Title?
rustic valve
Cosmetic thing you can get from the Resource Director in the epilogue
brisk trail
takes about 325k darkness
rose quest
T_T
brisk trail
you just gotta see the credits, not the epilogue
winter harbor
It doesn't affect gameplay
rose quest
But it is pretty
winter harbor
It's just for those who want a goal to work towards and did everything else
rustic valve
I mean, once you get to the credits, you're in the epilogue
rose quest
and I am a simple human
rustic valve
same thing
winter harbor
I do like how Zag became a ||physical pentester|| in the ending
rustic valve
Ah, I consider everything leading up to the event the epilogue
brisk trail
||white-hat hacker||
carmine ravine
eh i call the ||feast|| as true ending
anything after the first credits i rregard as midgame
rustic valve
heh, for me it's ending (when you escape the first time), true ending (when you get the credits) and then the epilogue
glass sentinel
anything after the first credits i rregard as midgame
m-...midgame? I just got the credits lol
carmine ravine
yes it kinda is
undone coyote
Hades and Furi have been two of my most favorite games I played this year
are there any other boss focused games like it?
pliant sparrow
enter the gungeon ig
winter harbor
Curse of the dead gods?
pliant sparrow
dark souls
winter harbor
Only it's a mesoamerican theme with curses, which afaik are tradeoffs for perks
winter harbor
I think it came out recently
undone coyote
march 3 yeah
glass sentinel
Gunfire Reborn? BUt it's still in development on Steam
undone coyote
Arkham isnt as fast paced as hades or furi
in these games theres constant action
Thats what im mainly looking for
Im about to give gungeon another spin
fresh magnet
how do i unequip companions

You can just pick one that does nothing for you build, though
and not use a keepsake

I'm just trying to get the gods to say the right line of dialogue so that I xan unlock relationship progression

Is there a place to discuss mythology?
this would be agreat channel idea
carmine ravine
u can talk about it in #h1-story-discussion if its related, and #off-topic-discussion if its not
floral matrix
Does anyone know what the odds are of getting defiance from chaos once you have a boon?
floral matrix
it gives you an extra life and it's the legendary boon
i have over 150 runs and still have yet to see it so i was curious
brisk trail
ive only gotten it 2 times out of about 110
lone sinew
I've been wondering too idk
brisk trail
and i go into almsot every chaos gate i see
smoky rune
I got it 90 hours or so in, but that was EA, the patch right before 1.0 (I'm pretty sure)
hm...
Do you have a full bond with them?
floral matrix
yeah
I'm normally really lucky and get legendarys or duos almost every run
but not from them
pliant sparrow

smoky rune
TY
floral matrix
||test||
floral matrix
||yeah i have, did that first out of all the major reunions||
smoky rune
hm...not sure
brisk trail
||working on that bond rn, both times i got the legendary were before i started||
floral matrix
hmmmm....
smoky rune
The plot thickens...
floral matrix
that'd be cursed if it works like that
smoky rune
Maybe Supergiant will read this and look into it
fading gazelle
The chaos legendary is just really hard to get 
fading gazelle
Nothing else to it
smoky rune
Are you using God's Pride or Legacy?
fading gazelle
It's just pretty rare
floral matrix
oh I agree it should be rare
but I think someone may have done 0.5% chance instead of 5% or something akin to that
brisk trail
i always roll w legacy
floral matrix
I run with the legendary duo % mirror thing
fading gazelle
RNGesus has just been really unkind 
floral matrix
ikr lol
fading gazelle
I don't know if they'll increase it's chances cause I know it was even lower before
So it's already been raised to be more 'common'
brisk trail
i think that once i get every gods legendary ill switch to pride
heavy fossil
