I realized chasing commission and career is really not that important, and now I take the time to really listen to people and spend time with family. A little time removed from all of that can give a lot of perspective. #sisyphus

[slim grail]

that kind gentle guy? wow ok now im really intrigued about greek mythos

[thorny crescent]

He still 100% deserves the treatment he gets from Thanatos and Meg and Hades

[kind bobcat]

Happiest I’ve ever been

I don’t even get road rage anymore

[rustic valve]

Feels that way to me - though with Bouldy, Ocean's Bounty and a chaos boon, I could see it getting up there

[remote anchor]

The reason Sis and Achilles are chill dudes in Hades are because they've spent a lot of time in the underworld

[winter harbor]

Sisyphus kidnapped Thanatos so nobody could die, which angered Ares, because war is boring with no deaths

[remote anchor]

Gives you perspective

[thorny crescent]

Like in one version of the mythos he tricks dad,in the other he tricks Thanatos,and in some he tricks both

TWICE

[slim grail]

based on what i read here from u guys, sounds like achilles is kinda an emo guy lol

figher... but emo

[remote anchor]

Hmm

[thorny crescent]

Yeah maybe he’s emo but he’s cool

[rustic valve]

Yeah, that's one of the common interpretations, indeed^^

[remote anchor]

It's been like 18 years since I read the Iliad so I don't remember but I don't think he's that emo

[rustic valve]

As has been pointed out: He sulks a good long while in the Iliad.

It starts with him in his tent, not doing stuff because he was pissed at something.

[remote anchor]

His "guy friend" dies and he goes into a murderous rage, that doesn't Scream emo to me

[rustic valve]

And Patty leading his Myrmidons instead.

[winter harbor]

It was really messed up when Iphigenia was told she was going to marry Achilles but in reality was a sacrifice to Artemis because her dad angered Artemis by hunting her sacred deer or something like that

Worst bachelor party ever

[remote anchor]

That's Agamemnon right?

[thorny crescent]

Honestly most major problems in the Greek mythology start like something like this
characters minding their own business
“🎵And then along came Zeus!”🎶

[slim grail]

patroculus?

[slim grail]

artemis was involve in all of this too? man.... greek mythos lore is exciting. everyone is getting involve haha

[winter harbor]

Their ashes are buried together, at least

[rustic valve]

(there's a reason tvtropes has this: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AchillesInHisTent)

[winter harbor]

I like how Percy Jackson did it in the last book

[remote anchor]

The Iliad would make agood telenovela now that I think about it

[winter harbor]

||Silena disguises herself as Clarisse because Clarisse is angry about a dragon or chariot or something, gets herself killed and dies from poison, which disfigures her face, Clarisse gets angry and fights (but I think she survives)||

[remote anchor]

Apart from all the murders and that

[rustic valve]

Those fit too, surely?

[remote anchor]

I don't know the abuela taget demographic well enough

[patent bobcat]

whats "ambiguity bonus" from bouldy?

[remote anchor]

It's ambiguos

[patent bobcat]

thanks

[winter harbor]

Imagine Zeus on one of those paternity test daytime shows

[remote anchor]

You're welcome. Maybe

[patent bobcat]

hahahaha

[remote anchor]

Zeus is always the father

[winter harbor]

Poseidon could be even worse

He fathered many monsters

[patent bobcat]

you think buying trove tracker is worth it?

[remote anchor]

Ares, too

[patent bobcat]

i feel it almost always would pay off

maybe not if you have really bad dps or if you find health and you dont need it

[molten nymph]

trove tracker?

[remote anchor]

https://www.greekmythology.com/Myths/Monsters/Mares_of_Diomedes/mares_of_diomedes.html

[patent bobcat]

the thing in the ccualrdoon that guarantees a trove

[winter harbor]

Apollo was unlucky in his love life, but he still had a ton of children

[molten nymph]

oh

[remote anchor]

Ares is the father of a pack of horses

[molten nymph]

i rarely pick troves so i can't tell

[winter harbor]

Guy could flip to a botany textbook and be like “yes, that’s my ex lover”

[molten nymph]

they traumatized me because i tried to get health in elysium

and ended up with -1 DD, +0 health

[remote anchor]

In the Marvel comics Ares miniseries, a character asks: "you have horses for kids?"

Ares: "It is different for gods"

[winter harbor]

I think a Norse god gave birth to a six legged horse

[remote anchor]

Yep, Loki

Also a Wolf and a snake

Fenrir and Jormungandr respectively

If you've played Final fantasy 7, Jormungandr the Midgard Serpent is the origin of the Midgarzolom

The horse is named Sleipner and it's so fast

[patent bobcat]

a gemstone trove can randomly give you nectar?

[remote anchor]

Yes

[patent bobcat]

cool

[remote anchor]

Rarely

[unkempt sleet]

Any trove has a very small chance to give you nectar as well

[patent bobcat]

5% i just checked

[kind bobcat]

I think the constraint could potentially be time, if you’re trying to finish quickly

If it’s difficult to clear troves, might be an unlucky run or a build change is in order

You can also bolt on a trove if they spawn something you know is gonna be a net cost to you

Like if there are shield guys and your build is vulnerable to that(or chariots) fine to bolt through a door rather than lose a DD or health

Also, I don’t know about you guys but I find the|| lack of stagger on the rail weapon frustrating||

[patent bobcat]

i dont like rail at all...

i want to do a cast build eventually

what do you all think of cursed slash?

[kind bobcat]

I like it

[patent bobcat]

i think i feel like its a run winner

[kind bobcat]

I have a story about that

[opal magnet]

Salutations and good tidings

[kind bobcat]

||The first time I beat champions and saw the final boss was a run I found cursed slash, and I was so excited. But since it was my first time in Styx I took ||the|| anvil, the boss fight was RIP||

[opal magnet]

i have been obsessed over this game

[kind bobcat]

Welcome! It is exceptional

[opal magnet]

and just joined because i made a biiiiig mistake

[kind bobcat]

Tell us more

Use spoiler tags if it’s a spoiler please

You can highlight and select spoiler

[opal magnet]

i put it in #h1-story-discussion just to be safe

[kind bobcat]

Ok

[thorny crescent]

[patent bobcat]

ooof look at this hard choice, what would you do

||https://imgur.com/a/YEfOdGB||

[kind bobcat]

Weapon? And do you have Stygian soul or the other one?

[gaunt valley]

what weapon?

[patent bobcat]

the sword where you do 1special and have bonus dmg

[gaunt valley]

and what relm

[patent bobcat]

elysium

[kind bobcat]

Also the pic is a bit of a spoiler

[patent bobcat]

about the soul huhhhh

[gaunt valley]

send the pic in spoiler chat

[kind bobcat]

Do you have the 3 charges that stick or the one that charges up

He spoilered it

That’s fine right?

I ask that but I’m not sure if yours can only happen where the cast stones stick

[rustic valve]

Lightning Rod for sure! /s (it can be fun, but it's not very efficient)

[kind bobcat]

Stay in place*

[patent bobcat]

i guess mostly i should get lightning for the fate at least

[patent bobcat]

3 that stick

[kind bobcat]

Yes, rod

If it ends up being not as cool as you’d hope maybe you can sell it for 400g

But it’s fun

[gaunt valley]

theyre in elysium

hm
how much gold do you have?

[patent bobcat]

completing fates really helps me make choices lol

[kind bobcat]

How could you tell?

[gaunt valley]

yea go rod

[patent bobcat]

i think im poor right now, 150

[gaunt valley]

sell it ||so you can grab the item in styx||

[kind bobcat]

Good call

I support chais rec, big value

[gaunt valley]

rod is such a dumb boon tbh

[patent bobcat]

the 1k one?

[gaunt valley]

mhm

[patent bobcat]

i feel like it can be decent with the right setup right?

like, a bunch more crystals

[kind bobcat]

I think you also need to progress Zeus

[gaunt valley]

does it even work with crystal

[kind bobcat]

Otherwise underwhelming

[patent bobcat]

also if they strike as soon as they come out, having the short cooldown on them and the auto pickup, sounds stronk

[kind bobcat]

I would want double strike chance or bigger area, something

[patent bobcat]

like if you have the sword that takes them out of the enemy

[kind bobcat]

Ooo

[gaunt valley]

pos sword is kinda a pos tho

[patent bobcat]

then this boon

quick reload

[gaunt valley]

artimis duo boons op

[kind bobcat]

Chai are you talking about poisedon cause I support that statement too

[gaunt valley]

yes

[patent bobcat]

i mean it has to be pretty good with a good cast build right?

[kind bobcat]

Yeah, but it’s so boring imo

[patent bobcat]

like, not reliable at all, but, with the right boons can be fun i think

[kind bobcat]

Artemis cast would shred

Cast shreds*

But nemesis also works well with Artemis

On attack rather than cast

[gaunt valley]

artimis has my favorite call
but like her duo boons with ||demeter|| and ares are amazing

[kind bobcat]

It’s preference

True, I hunt for with ares often lol

[patent bobcat]

look, speak of the devil, just found greater recall xd

guess ill take it idk

[gaunt valley]

i guess zeus and demeter call is also good

[patent bobcat]

i have the quick reload or whatever,

if i had the quicker cast

i could have a machinegun of casts

[molten nymph]

artemis has no bad duo

[gaunt valley]

i wonder if supergiant will secure the steam goty

[kind bobcat]

I frequently get that too chai, especially running privledged status

I think so, I bought this game for several friends and family

[gaunt valley]

i hope so

[molten nymph]

nah, sekiro prolly has the steam goty in the bag

[gaunt valley]

would be great if they got the actual goty too

[kind bobcat]

Artemis + poisedon underwhelming imo

[molten nymph]

as much as i want that

awards are mostly popularity contest

[gaunt valley]

ive been playing supergiant games since the release of transistor

they really deserve a goty at some point

[molten nymph]

true

[kind bobcat]

Transistor came before bastion? Good to know lol

[gaunt valley]

no

transistor was after

[kind bobcat]

Gotcha, thought so

[gaunt valley]

i discovered supergiant like a year after transistor released
and have been following them ever since

[kind bobcat]

Have you played bastion too?

[gaunt valley]

ive played them all

[kind bobcat]

Nice

[gaunt valley]

finished all except pyre

[opal magnet]

who gave cerberus a pet button?

can i get my life back?

[patent bobcat]

i should buy the diamond in the last shop but.... i want to be stronger... even if i think im already able to beat the boss...

[gaunt valley]

yes

[waxen juniper]

Diamonds come rarely until you get better at the game. So... The decision is up to you

[molten nymph]

i'd take diamond

[gaunt valley]

i always take the end thing

its always better then beating boss

[molten nymph]

most of the time by the time you reached the final shop the build is already formed

[patent bobcat]

i have won the last 5 runs, so im ok in diamonds, but i know as soon as i go up a bit in heat i will have 0 diamonds

[waxen juniper]

Until your win rate is greater than your loss rate, I'd encourage taking it.

[gaunt valley]

no you always need more diamonds

[patent bobcat]

well, i have like 28 runs

and like 6 wins

but from run 23 to now i havent lost

the 1-2 heat i have dominated i would say

[gaunt valley]

remember to up heat when you run out of bounties

[molten nymph]

do your build need anything from the shop

[patent bobcat]

yes ofcourse

[patent bobcat]

probably could do better with something yeah

but i still think i can beat the boss without them

[gaunt valley]

you get quite a lot of gold from the tunnels tbh

[waxen juniper]

Also, do you have enough money to buy that and then get something else? Styx gives a lot of gold

[opal magnet]

anyone have a blade dash addiction?

[waxen juniper]

Is that the blade rift one?

[patent bobcat]

maybe i will be able to buy 1 more thing

[opal magnet]

yep

[molten nymph]

blade dash ||gil|| is definitely on my funny builds to try out list

[waxen juniper]

Ah. I've had 2 blade rift runs I think. Both were fantastic runs

[patent bobcat]

i think the run is won because i have athenas dash, the i atack i recover 2 health and 3 revives

blade dash can make the game a bit hard to read tho

but yeah i take it most of the times

lol i got|| king vermin|| for the first time last run, and now i got it again, like twice in a row, what are the chances

[waxen juniper]

Don't think you've won just yet. The ||Hades|| fight can change that in a moment's notice

I can't get the dire serpentstone for the life of me. That's the only other one I need for the prophecy to be fulfilled -_-

[patent bobcat]

dont know whats that

[waxen juniper]

The serpentstone miniboss

[patent bobcat]

oh, havent found it yet

[waxen juniper]

Or laser gemstone if that helps

I haven't either. That's the only one I'm missing

[patent bobcat]

at least i think i havent

i probably would know if i have found it right?

like it has a boss fight bar on top right?

[waxen juniper]

No, it's a typical mini boss in styx

[patent bobcat]

oh its not like|| king vermin||

[waxen juniper]

They are usually bigger+stronger versions of enemies in styx with a lot of armor

[patent bobcat]

LOL

[waxen juniper]

Yeah, that is the only true miniboss in styx

[patent bobcat]

remember how i found lightning rod

and took

it

and sold it

i just found it again

[waxen juniper]

Time for try 2

[patent bobcat]

hmmm i think ill take an epic exit wounds, since i need it for the fates

[waxen juniper]

Even if its useless for the run, you have gained progress on a prophecy.

And trust me, you want to finish those prophecy's. They give very good rewards

[patent bobcat]

FOUND LIGHTNING ROD A 3RD TIME

[waxen juniper]

Well, duos usually spawn a lot once the conditions are met. That's not a surprise actually

[patent bobcat]

but like, i probably have the conditions for another duo...

[waxen juniper]

Probably and do are two different things 😉

[patent bobcat]

is there any achievement for winstreaking?

[waxen juniper]

Don't believe so

[unkempt sleet]

No but Hermes will be very impressed

[patent bobcat]

||mom told me not to go to her anymore :(||

[heavy fossil]

well...always listen to mom. they are always correct

[unkempt sleet]

Yeah listen to Nyx

She'll tell you what to do if she doesn't aggressively dodge you like she did me after I met spoilers

[patent bobcat]

so i just stop playing the game now? Kappa

[unkempt sleet]

Nah man gotta get to credits

[molten nymph]

beat the boss but close the game before you go to the next area

[patent bobcat]

but i dont wanna go against ||mothers ||word

[patent bobcat]

yeah that sounds smart

[unkempt sleet]

Alternatively just die against redacted over and over

[patent bobcat]

nyx said it was a good idea to go back... nyx is also ||mother||

||i have a mother words paradox||

[unkempt sleet]

||You now live in the "do what your mother says" loop||

[patent bobcat]

do you use keys for anything else other than mirror and unlocking weapons? or do i just trade them off?

[unkempt sleet]

Only for some cosmetic things

[patent bobcat]

||ok im gonna try go for the first skelly statue||

[unkempt sleet]

That one isn't too bad

[patent bobcat]

should i take aspect of achiles or aspect of guan yu?

its the thirsty weapon

[unkempt sleet]

It depends on conditions and how good are you at spear 4

[patent bobcat]

hmmmmm only used it once and won but idk...

[unkempt sleet]

Spear 4 is a risky weapon, but Achilles is eh

[patent bobcat]

should i rank up with ambrosia the fidi companion? is it a good one?

its the first one i got

[unkempt sleet]

I would save your Ambrosia for other characters

You'll need a lot of it

[patent bobcat]

okey, i have 14 right now but i guess probably it runs out fast

[carmine ravine]

archilles spear is for cast builds

generally i sue hades instead

[unkempt sleet]

Raging rush works on cast?

[patent bobcat]

cast builds really?

[patent bobcat]

havent unlocked it yet

[patent bobcat]

yep, atacks and casts

[patent bobcat]

any god in particular? i could use their keepsake

[nocturne ginkgo]

beat final boss on hell mode for the first time it was emotionally exhausting lmao

[patent bobcat]

grats

[carmine ravine]

dio casts in particular, big boom

[nocturne ginkgo]

Hell mode is much more challenging than I thought it would be

[patent bobcat]

whats hell mode?

[nocturne ginkgo]

setting when you select new game it starts everything at 5 heat

and you can't turn down the heat or select god mode

[patent bobcat]

oh

oof

[carmine ravine]

it even disables god mode and have its own special heat condition

[nocturne ginkgo]

yep

Its really fun

[patent bobcat]

ok im gonna try an achiles cast run

[nocturne ginkgo]

Good luck!

[patent bobcat]

do i switch out of dio keepsake after the first boss?

[carmine ravine]

yea sure

use the regen cast mirror, not the 3 cast mirror btw

[patent bobcat]

oops

too late

guess i should try to find hermes boons that regen it faster right?

oh that wouldnt work with dionisius would it?

[carmine ravine]

no i mean the dio cast is the bomb, so its very slow to re pickup

since its stays as the fog

[patent bobcat]

oops

maybe zeus to get his duo?

what other dionisius duos are good and give me dmg?

[carmine ravine]

dio fog have 2 duo

zeus and demeter

both can put extra dmg on ur fog

[molten nymph]

i like dem better if i'm playing achilles

and zeus if hera/shield

[carmine ravine]

eh dem cast feels so slow to me, rather go aoe, its like a better rail special

[patent bobcat]

i found a random zeus so probably will find zeus easier

[molten nymph]

i was talking about the duo lol

dem's duo makes festive fog feels a lot better to cast

[patent bobcat]

but it doesnt do more dps right

?

[molten nymph]

it does

[patent bobcat]

i mean, i have the 3 rubies

[molten nymph]

+30%

[patent bobcat]

not the regen rubies

[molten nymph]

but if you have zeus banked its better to go zeus, yeah

[patent bobcat]

lol, so awfull

https://imgur.com/a/RgJh2Gm

[carmine ravine]

not sure if vicious skewer is a global crit boost or not

[patent bobcat]

hmmm doesnt sound like it

only recovering the spear

you think static discharge could be good for teh build?

[carmine ravine]

not sure, not a big archilles user myself

[patent bobcat]

i got 148/150 gold from the infernal trove lol

[nocturne ginkgo]

why is achilles good for cast build? I'm using it and it seems like any weapon would work just as well?

[patent bobcat]

using the special gives you bonus dmg on your next 4 atacks or casts

so at lvl 1 achiles its 50% extra damage on your cast

[carmine ravine]

its 150% bonus at max

so its 250% cast dmg

[patent bobcat]

damn

[carmine ravine]

i mean u can go atk build i guess, but u need to refresh the buff a lot

[thorny crescent]

Spear builds

Achilles is the only good one

[patent bobcat]

hidden one can be pretty good i would say

[unkempt sleet]

Hades spear is good, I main it when I don't feel like fisting

[carmine ravine]

hidden one is special build

[thorny crescent]

Hidden spear is good with certain hammers

[nocturne ginkgo]

I main chiron bow and have a lot of fun with that

[thorny crescent]

Otherwise useless trash

[thorny crescent]

The bow is like S tier

Best weapon for sure

[carmine ravine]

on no

[unkempt sleet]

Fists tho

[thorny crescent]

I’d say fists can be pretty top tier as well

maybe gun if you know how to play it smart

[carmine ravine]

rails and fist is s tier

[nocturne ginkgo]

I don't think bow is the best weapon in the game

[carmine ravine]

bow is like a probably

[nocturne ginkgo]

but its the one I enjoy the most

[granite ether]

every weapon is top tier in it's own way ^_^

[rustic valve]

Rail and Bow, Fist just below, imo.

[thorny crescent]

Unless you’re playing spear

Just give up in that case

[nocturne ginkgo]

I honestly think hidden sword is the Best in the game

[thorny crescent]

It’s not worth the sluggish builds

[molten nymph]

tier list works differently for different use tbh

[thorny crescent]

unless you’re going for Achilles cast builds

[nocturne ginkgo]

getting hidden sword with artemis on main attack

its so nice

[carmine ravine]

hidden sowrd is nice with them crits sure

[molten nymph]

high heat/speedrun/general run has different metas

[unkempt sleet]

I don't know what spear has done to you but spear isn't that bad

[rustic valve]

All weapons can be viable, but Rail, Bow and Fist are clearly faster and viable in more ways, afaict.

[thorny crescent]

Gotta hate the hidden sword ngl

I really liked it at first

But god it’s so slow

It feels like playing the game in slow motion

[carmine ravine]

just dash attack, it continues the combos

[nocturne ginkgo]

see I don't think you can objectively tier list the weapons here only because if you are good with a weapon its better than one you are bad with

yeah dash attack is the answer

[unkempt sleet]

Jusr don't use the combo finisher and you're fine

[nocturne ginkgo]

There are people who think the bow is the only bad weapon in the game

[carmine ravine]

but the third combo is where thedmg is

[nocturne ginkgo]

and while I disagree they are welcome to that opinion lmao

[carmine ravine]

there are ppl who cant even use rails lol

[nocturne ginkgo]

exactly lol

[unkempt sleet]

No the damage is in the double stab dash attack

[molten nymph]

no they’re not

[carmine ravine]

not rly

the hidden sword critting the third combo is just bonkers

more with hoarding slash i guess

[unkempt sleet]

1k crits are good, yes

[carmine ravine]

more

[molten nymph]

i always thought hoarding on hidden sword is bad

[granite ether]

I can't use eris rail to save my life for example, yet I know it's an incredible aspect

[molten nymph]

since its a flat increase on a slow weapon

[unkempt sleet]

If you hoard enough or play Artemis it's good

[patent bobcat]

i fd up

i got the "cast faster" boon

and now i cant cast just 1 dio cast

i cast twice minimum per click lol

[carmine ravine]

oof

[nocturne ginkgo]

I have dio cast with dem duo and I'm having fun I'm working on getting zeus duo cause I think it will be funny

[unkempt sleet]

Autocast on Dio isn't good unless you use Ice Wine

[carmine ravine]

u can get both at the same time

[patent bobcat]

oh yeah i forgot i can technically get both...

[nocturne ginkgo]

I have to get super lucky in the tunnels though

I need a minimum of 2 zeus boons

I doubt I get it but it would be fun

[carmine ravine]

get call and jolted for zeus

[nocturne ginkgo]

ok so I have the poison enemies take more damage in fog

and just deleted elysium boss in like a minute

thats scary

[carmine ravine]

i dislike hangover builds personallly

[patent bobcat]

i think they are good with bow

[nocturne ginkgo]

ok so I have a 150 and a 450 zeus in shop got the call on the 150

and a zeus tunnel

if I'm lucky I get this duo

[carmine ravine]

just spam the call in rooms

[nocturne ginkgo]

I'm doing the tunnel one first since its a non-boss

then I'm going to buy the 450

didn't get it

it was worth a shot lol

oh wait theres a 150 dionysus boon in shop I have one more chance

well I didn't but it was worth the shot

[patent bobcat]

a good rail aspect of eris build? i dont like rail

[carmine ravine]

zeus attack, i put crit on the special but u can go aphro

[patent bobcat]

any hammers in particular?

[carmine ravine]

cluster and rocket

[rustic valve]

triple bomb is also good if you don't get those two

piercing can also be helpful in dealing with shields, iirc - and just generally for triggering zeus attack even more

(but both of those aren't as good as cluster+rocket)

[gentle portal]

Just want to double check, when will we get all the updates for Switch version?

[rustic valve]

No ETA specified. Presumably once they got cross-saves done.

[patent bobcat]

how far do you need to be for distant memory to work

[patent bobcat]

if i can chose between those 2?

[naive falcon]

So, I was wonder about those artifacts. I assume they are specific to my hardware (Spoiler alert): ||https://ibb.co/QvFBZxp||

[carmine ravine]

cluster imo

[glad cairn]

Mmmm artemis yes yesn sexy

[rustic valve]

Too far to be worth it, ime; but since it doesn't show, I've had a hard time pinpointing it exactly.

[green maple]

Its literally the tip of spear 4 special

[amber lotus]

are you able to encounter thanatos when your chamber reward is a boon?

just wanna make sure

[rustic valve]

I'm like 90% sure that yes, I've had that happen.

but I've never paid attention to it so now I'm not sure 😅

[amber lotus]

same, from what i can remember i always encountered him when i chose a pom, centaur's heart, and obol

hngggg

[rustic valve]

sorry 😆

[patent bobcat]

best aspect of chirion build?

what special goes best?

[molten nymph]

artemis

[patent bobcat]

ty

any duo in particular?

or hammer?

[molten nymph]

heartrend

[patent bobcat]

ive had the dusa companion for 2 runs already

forgot to use him in both lol

[molten nymph]

for hammers you want either the extra special arrow or the extra damage on consecutive special hit

try to avoid explosive and double shot
i also don't like triple or chain shot
rapid shot works great

[patent bobcat]

and i look for an aphrodite atack probably?

[molten nymph]

yep

[patent bobcat]

i think im gonna try to go for the first skelly statue

[brisk trail]

Welp.... If CP77 wins GOTY over Hades im gonna be even more sad now

[void vigil]

this is part of the art style of the game

[brisk trail]

That game is a hot mess

[patent bobcat]

probably should take the extreame measures, tight deadline and hmmm

[molten nymph]

chiron?

[patent bobcat]

yeah

[molten nymph]

i'd take EM 3, TD2, DC2

...is that over 8?

[patent bobcat]

td2 scares me a bit...

never done it before

[molten nymph]

what's your average run speed

[patent bobcat]

em3 td1 is 7 heat already tho

[molten nymph]

oh lol

[patent bobcat]

my average run speed humm

[thorny crescent]

Half an hour usually

[patent bobcat]

about 28 i think?

[molten nymph]

is that with pausing when picking room?

[naive falcon]

Ohhhh. I was wondering about that. Because I see it often (even on the loading screen when you start the game). Very cool 🙂

[patent bobcat]

yeah i think

[molten nymph]

ah okay keep it TD1 then

[brisk trail]

TD is the best thing to turn on to get better tbh

or EM

[molten nymph]

nah, its FO

[patent bobcat]

but i think i might do more than i need to do

[molten nymph]

[patent bobcat]

like take every single infernal trove for example

[molten nymph]

oh

then TD2 should be fine

can even take off EM3 even

if you take TD2

[patent bobcat]

i think i know what em2 does

but not sure about em3

i think i should take the risk

[molten nymph]

EM3 is not that big of a difference in difficulty from normal boss3

[patent bobcat]

td2 dc2 em2 i guess

[molten nymph]

but i had a bit of difficulty vs them at first

[patent bobcat]

i have won my last 8 runs in heat 2

so i should step it up probably

hmmm wondering if i should take a common artemis special tho

i dont like it being common...

[dusky estuary]

EM3 is annoying.

For melee build at least.

||Waiting out Asterius' spinning attack and the aoe when he lands.||

[patent bobcat]

lol i tryharded. had i think 2:50 left for final boss, was pretty good built

and

||he just let me through xd roll credits||

[molten nymph]

lol

[patent bobcat]

so anticlimatic

[patent bobcat]

what do i need diamonds for?

after the normal upgrades

[thorny crescent]

Finally gonna play cyberpunk in like two minutes,wish me luck boys

[patent bobcat]

good luck

so wait, the skelly statue doesnt give you anything?

also is charged shot good?

[distant night]

firstly for ||contracts|| for some of the side-plots, decorations(some are interact-able 👀), cosmetics, ||resource manager||, the songs

[distant night]

||if you hit it, skelly will sometimes react to it lol but else nah||

[distant night]

depends on your build, i find it very good for the endboss fight since (if found the right place) it makes you continuously do damage to endboss and spawned in enemies while basically being invisible

[patent bobcat]

any aspect of chaos shield build?

[distant night]

i think #h1-builds-and-combat has some if you dig

[molten nymph]

sense of pride and accomplishment

[patent bobcat]

||daddy letting me pass kinda took that away from me||

[molten nymph]

time for 16

[thorny crescent]

Okay so here’s my cyberpunk experience

Launched the game once,decided to change the graphics settings cause the default fps cap is 60,game crashed,can’t even launch it anymore

I’m getting my money back

[warm dirge]

Story question, and I'll gladly accept links to previous conversation as an answer: do we know who the narrator is? It's the one reveal I didn't get after the credits, and it's unusual on Supergiants' games for the narrator to not be a character in the game

[distant night]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/fkyjh3/who_is_the_narrator/ ?

[brisk trail]

I finally got to styx without dying to TD

please pray for a 2sack for me

[distant night]

did you put TD to max? o.o

[brisk trail]

died to ||phase 2||

it be like that

[waxen juniper]

What's TD?

[distant night]

||TD - Tight Deadline||

pinned message in #h1-high-heat-strategies with all abreviations

[brisk trail]

man i need to git gud

[waxen juniper]

Ohhh, that. Not gonna lie, the first tight deadline is not nearly as terrifying as I thought

[brisk trail]

died to him again

TD by itself is fine

[distant night]

the first two yes

[brisk trail]

i'm doing 40

died to final boss the last two runs

[waxen juniper]

I'm definitely not ready for 5:00 minutes

[distant night]

oof

same

[brisk trail]

soon enough

[waxen juniper]

Valiant effort!

[distant night]

only got one under 20 run with spear

so yeah ||TD3|| not happening any time soon for me

[waxen juniper]

I'm slowly working my way up the heat ladder. I think the max I have on right now is 4.

[warped iron]

@manic bobcat I figured it out. ||Hidden aspect of the bow take 2.1 times longer to charge than the other bow aspects.||

[slim grail]

orpheus is a guy?????

[thick swallow]

Yes, as in actual mythology

[slim grail]

i didnt get the full context but do u mean u completed 40 runs???

[slim grail]

what? whoa.... srsly?

pls tell me you really thought that's a girl?

[brisk trail]

40 heat

[waxen juniper]

No. They are referring to ||heat||. If you don't know about that yet, then you will later

[slim grail]

oh yea i know. but 40 heat? whoa.... that is something

[waxen juniper]

Yea, it's impressive

[slim grail]

i barely pass 3 heat 😦

[waxen juniper]

You'll get there :)

[slim grail]

i doubt so. 😦 that very first heat always cause me problem. where the foe do extra dmg

[distant night]

what 3 ||heat|| did you chose?

||EM1 & EM2|| and ||TD1|| are pretty easy to achieve

[slim grail]

sorry mind me asking but why did u guys put a spoiler on heat? i mean... it is an endgame content

[waxen juniper]

Well, if you don't like that one, then don't do that one

[brisk trail]

ooo yeah, you might be doing the harder heats first

i don't think heat is a spoiler in this channel

there's definitely easy ones

[distant night]

i'd rather doit safe with spoilers :)

[slim grail]

i already knew abt the heat before i completed the game. it didnt even bother me

[brisk trail]

like TD1 - TD2 feels free

[slim grail]

because nothing to do with storyline

[brisk trail]

and there's EM

which only changes bosses

[distant night]

TD2 can be hard if you arent that quick

[waxen juniper]

EM is not necessarily easy though

[brisk trail]

I guess so

EM on its own is alright

[distant night]

EM1&2 are definitively the easiest and quickest

[brisk trail]

It's with the other pacts that they feel more difficult imo

[distant night]

and they also dont make the game inbetween bosses harder

you only have to worry about furies and hydra and thats... nice if you dont struggle with them with 0 heat

[waxen juniper]

The fury fight gets much harder and so do the other 2. Hydra is faster, but more deadly. And Theseus is a pain in the butt in EM3. Gonna take me a while to get used to him

[distant night]

fury gets much harder?

[waxen juniper]

I'd say so. Especially if Tisiphone is one of the additional furies.

Took me a while to adapt to it

[distant night]

well if you break down EM1:
||tisiphone as bonus does damage over a bigger area that you have more than enough time to easily dodge; later she will make the arena foggy||
||alecto as bonus spawns occasional sawblades and projectile spawners||
||meg whips and sometimes also spawns projectile spawners||
as soon as you see and know what/who you have to dodge it gets pretty easy

[waxen juniper]

It does get easier. I will not lie though, it was incredibly overwhelming the first run

[distant night]

thats true, but the learning curve with that EM fight is pretty good

[opaque nexus]

EM1 is free

[distant night]

||especially since alecto hates fighting with meg and will therefore sometimes not be there at all, so you just have meg as main and tisiphone... there||

[waxen juniper]

Eventually

[distant night]

TD1 is free if you have easy sub 30 runs

[opaque nexus]

like FO it's best to get used to the higher levels

[distant night]

EM1 depends on how much you struggle with tisiphone

[opaque nexus]

FO on its own is difficult

[distant night]

FO + EM1 can suck butt

since you have such little time to dodge

[opaque nexus]

once you play it a lot you get it down

[distant night]

thats... always the case

[opaque nexus]

and at that point you can pretty much go it every run

[distant night]

FO1 feels like nothing changed, FO2 SUCKS

[opaque nexus]

EM2 is more annoying that difficult

[distant night]

true

[opaque nexus]

I've learned it from speedruns

[distant night]

especially with the magma damage bonus

[waxen juniper]

FO means what?

[opaque nexus]

forced overtime

[distant night]

i forget the pact of punishment name,,,

[molten nymph]

i dodge HS

that thing aint 1 heat

[waxen juniper]

What is forced overtime again?

[opaque nexus]

heightened is kind of a waste until high heat

enemies move and attack faster

[distant night]

enemies are faster ;_;

[opaque nexus]

20% and 40%

[distant night]

FO1 = haha what
FO2 = F*** ME

[molten nymph]

the thing i like about EM2 is you can ||meg|| 4 heads at once

[opaque nexus]

I recommend getting used to EM2 because once you do, EM1 will seem like a breeze

[thorny crescent]

Dude screw forced overtime

[distant night]

if you use meg, yes

[opaque nexus]

I mean FO2

[brisk trail]

sometimes i fall into magma and forget i have HS

[thorny crescent]

Actually makes the game unplayable

[brisk trail]

my health just melting

[opaque nexus]

again, practice

[waxen juniper]

Ah, the only enemy buffs I've done so far is the extra damage and the armor perks one

[opaque nexus]

you kind of have to relearn some stuff

[molten nymph]

yeah

[brisk trail]

i'm not quite used to final boss on FO2 yet

[thorny crescent]

Also apparently cyberpunk has the most broken launch in years so that’s fun

Don’t buy this game

[distant night]

same :))) love it also when your casts drop onto the magma and you gotta jump there and get em :))))

[brisk trail]

but everything else cool

[molten nymph]

the biggest thing on FO2 i feel

is i can't rely on just reaction to dodge hydra's headslam

need to be ready for it

...also asterius

[waxen juniper]

Just don't forget that high security affects the pots in the final fight. That's done me in a few times

[distant night]

i find it sad that you cant semi-stun hydra heads after their armor is down

[opaque nexus]

my recommendation for starting off is TD1/2, Damage Control depending on how fast your weapon attacks, Underworld Customs, Middle Management, Forced Overtime if you are comfortable, then extreme measures 2

[brisk trail]

yeah, i'm cool with the pots

[distant night]

it would be broken, i get it

[brisk trail]

i mean, i've only gotten there like three times so far lmaoo but

so far haven't fallen in one

[opaque nexus]

damage control is either free or a complete nightmaare

[distant night]

but just being used to being able to stun from all the stages and the heads are just like "haha naaaaaaah"

[waxen juniper]

Once you get comfortable with high security, that's like the only big threat.

[distant night]

yeah and be sure you dont have the green mirror aspect on that turns your first attack to them to a stronger one ::))))))

[rose nexus]

I meeaannn

[opaque nexus]

Underworld customs sounds way worse than it is

[distant night]

i misread the mirror aspects and just had this aspect switched for the entire game up until heat 32

[thorny crescent]

Why ping :(

[opaque nexus]

you just take some god rooms when you normally wouldn't and boom sell urge to kills

[waxen juniper]

Which one is underworld customs? I'm not used to heat names yet

[thorny crescent]

I don’t even play this game anymore why ping :(

[brisk trail]

it's all fun and games till UC has your best boons and you don't have any more rerolls

[opaque nexus]

you have to sell one boon to move on to the next zone

[distant night]

OH GURLS ALL THE DIO'S ARE HERE

[brisk trail]

it's the one where

[opaque nexus]

always keep one reroll

[brisk trail]

you have to purge one boon

at the very end

[waxen juniper]

Ah, that one. I really... really don't want to have that on

[brisk trail]

of each region

[distant night]

how are my thicc dio lads?

[brisk trail]

still thicc

[thorny crescent]

still

[distant night]

beautiful

[opaque nexus]

you have to think about it but apart from that it's not bad

[thorny crescent]

still Dio

[distant night]

😂

[thorny crescent]

Kinda gave up on Hades tho

[distant night]

how so?

[thorny crescent]

will return to it once they add new stuff

[distant night]

not getting further or done?

ah

[opaque nexus]

aka probably never

[distant night]

modding? :D

[thorny crescent]

I wanted to try out cyberpunk

But it’s so broken

like unbelievably broken launch

I got my money back immediately

[distant night]

yeah how long did they already push back the release? a year?

i remember there being a giveaway with one of the summer sales that if you have cyberpunk as your top 1 on your wishlist you get it for free and then nothing

[thorny crescent]

it’s absolute trash

Like not worth the money at all

[distant night]

when i saw the first playthroughs i was heartbroken

[thick swallow]

Even free it wouldn’t be worth the storage space right now

[opaque nexus]

reminds me of We Happy Few

[distant night]

how so?

[opaque nexus]

that game was like super buggy

[waxen juniper]

It just needs some patches. That's all

[thick swallow]

Even ignoring all the garbage around it

[waxen juniper]

I know We Happy Few got a lot of patches

[chilly stump]

Hey all, totally welcome to discuss this down in video-games 👍

[distant night]

we happy few really changed from early access to what it is now tho

oh true

[thorny crescent]

omg it’s someone from supergiant

[distant night]

anyways, FO2 sucks

[opaque nexus]

FO2 optimal

[distant night]

dio you got them to react to you, beautiful

[thorny crescent]

:)

[distant night]

not on high heat

[opaque nexus]

yes

most high heats use FO2

when the choice is approval process vs enemies attacking faster

[distant night]

it can really make or break my game if i have FO2 on or not

[opaque nexus]

you're picking the latter

[distant night]

approval process is weird

[opaque nexus]

approval process just makes the game less fun

[distant night]

sometimes i dont like it/even hate it and then sometimes it's just gifted heat

question how comfortable are yall with chaos' hidden preview of chamber rewards?

[waxen juniper]

It's really not that bad. You don't know what you get, but that's usually not a hinderance in the beginning/when your run has already developed

[carmine ravine]

you only got two choices usuallly in the first place, just imagine it as one

[waxen juniper]

Most importantly: it's not a run killer. Some chaos downsides can murder your run if you're not careful.

[warped ermine]

I live by the wise words of skelly when i have hidden previews on. Less prattle more battle boyo.

[distant night]

100% agreeing with it not being a runkiller, i'd personally still rather not have it in the very beginning so i actually get a nice foundation going (i feel like you get to decide more on whose boons you want in tartarus than elysium or asphodel; plus the gods you get in tartarus determine who you get in the whole run)

[rustic valve]

Yeah, that's how I think of it too

If I have the basics of my build, it's fine, if I need something specific still, I don't like it.

[waxen juniper]

So I know many people love dionysus, but I think I've used him the least. What advice do you have in respect to his core boons?

p. s. I use strong drink and positive outlook all the time. It's the core package I don't touch much

[distant night]

same

i never hear of positives with dio core boons in builds

[rustic valve]

Dio cast is very strong

[distant night]

only how dio's special sucks with most weapons

[rustic valve]

there's a lot of fun to be had with dio cast on hera

[distant night]

dio cast, yes, mighty boi

[rustic valve]

dio special is also neat on the bow

[warped ermine]

I only like most of his boons when i have a second status, but he has a few i cant remember the name of.

[rustic valve]

Dio attack can do a bit of work on the fists or rail, though Zeus is just better

[warped ermine]

Recently my runs have been Ares focused because dio refused to show up in any reward chambers

[distant night]

dio special on gun, sword, spear? nuh uh

[waxen juniper]

I think I know what my next run is gonna be. I need the dio legendary anyways.

[distant night]

all hail the dio(s)

[rustic valve]

Try to combine it with Demeter for Ice Wine or Zeus for Scintillating Feast

[distant night]

ice wine is hella nice

[thorny crescent]

How do you even remember the boon names

[waxen juniper]

I need to see what those are. I don't know much about dio duo's tbh

[rustic valve]

🤷 I just do?

[distant night]

dio cast duos >>>> poseidon cast duos

[thorny crescent]

Fax

[waxen juniper]

By playing a lot

[thorny crescent]

bruh I have over a 100 attempts

I don’t remember anything

[distant night]

hunting blades is nice too

[thorny crescent]

true

[distant night]

but demeter cast duos? uhhhh idk

or was the one demeter cast that follows not the enemies but you a legendary?

[void ginkgo]

demeter cast dios are great

[thorny crescent]

Demeter’s cast just blows

[void ginkgo]

I mean

[thorny crescent]

I don’t like it

Artemis duo is nice

Everything else just ehhhh

[distant night]

artemis duos are beautiful

[thorny crescent]

True dat

[rustic valve]

Demeter's Cast is... very different

[waxen juniper]

Sadly I don't have Hera upgraded, so hopefully it's still viable

Demeter cast is fun. I've had some solid runs with it

[rustic valve]

with a bunch of other boons it becomes pretty useful and a good way to apply Chill / enable Privileged Status, though

[distant night]

even lightning rod if you have infernal soul

[warped ermine]

My favorite artemis boon is support fire for obvious reasons

[distant night]

demeter cast just gives you a free hydra win

if you dont have EM2 active

[warped ermine]

i just feel badass with arrows flying at everything while using melee lol

[waxen juniper]

Myrion, do you think Stygian soul would be better for the hera dio cast run?

[distant night]

Deadly Reversal is insane if you have deflect on attack

and if ||dad|| spawns witches in

stygian soul would definitively be nice with dera dio cast run

myrion speak your bow wisdom

[lone sinew]

random question do you think hades will win?

I hope so

[distant night]

goty?

[lone sinew]

yes

[opaque nexus]

honestly probably not

[lone sinew]

yeah i know... most likely not

[distant night]

on steam, maybe; on sites that also have tlou2 in the running? definitively not

it is one of the highest ranked steam games ever

[warped ermine]

I get goosebumps when a game i actually love gets nominated for once though

hades for example 😛

[lone sinew]

well even if it dosent its gonna be goty for me

[distant night]

same :)

[warped ermine]

First time I've been super invested into a singleplayer game since uh, like shining force exa

[lone sinew]

Got it less than a week ago its the first time im spending so much hours in a game so fast

at first I was kinda worried because I found it kinda easy but then the heat system fixed this problem

[opaque nexus]

^

[waxen juniper]

I didn't get too lucky, but that Hera run felt completely free!

[rustic valve]

Told ya it's fun!

[hushed pumice]

Hades should take it but it will be a big upset if it does.

Tlou2 is just so popular

[brisk trail]

my AOTY and GOTY are both things that I found about a month after their release and didn't think I'd like that much, but after a while they became my absolute favorites

those being melee by dogleg and hades

[brisk trail]

I love hard drive so much

[narrow hemlock]

hades video game will be my person of the year for years to come 🤧

[woven shard]

I've seen conflicting bits of info. To reveal ||hidden aspects, do you need five titan blood in each individual weapon to trigger their respective waking phrases?||

||I have Eris at level 3, which means I put 1+2+3 blood in it right? Still haven't been able to get Zeus to do the thing||

||I have the spear, shield and bow aspects already||

[waxen juniper]

Yes, you are correct. You only need 5. The conversation has a percentage chance to occur, it is not a 100% guarantee right away. Took me a good few runs for him to say something

[winter harbor]

You need to equip it once and have him comment on your weapon

After that, it's just RNG

[woven shard]

gotcha, ty!

lol, it literally just triggered the next chamber 😅

[waxen juniper]

Nice!

So all that's left is ||fists and sword||

[woven shard]

yep! and i just put enough ||blood into the fists just gotta find astereus||

[tacit ember]

guys someone explain why soem times u god gade has five thingys

[winter harbor]

That's just from having artemis as your call

Only god call that splits the gauge differently

[waxen juniper]

I'm not sure what you mean

[tacit ember]

ahha

[dusky estuary]

Not the only call the changes god gauge. ||Hades splits it into two sections||

[tacit ember]

i have lv 9 glacial glare

christals last longer than 10 s

op?

[worn horizon]

Depends on your playstyle really

Could be bad if you're going for lightning rod

[tacit ember]

lets go no dds

[worn horizon]

if you can get crit on cast it's OP as hell

[tacit ember]

demiter cast

crit=meh

[worn horizon]

Yeah but artemis has "anything can crit" boon

[tacit ember]

posidon duo = good

yes i have that

it crits for like 30

not great

[worn horizon]

It's additional dps, and 10sec duration makes for quite a big difference

[tacit ember]

zag just sayed

in the name of someone very soar right now

[slim grail]

orpheus is a guy?????

[winter harbor]

it's not a lesbian retelling of the orpheus and eurydice myth, sadly

[brisk trail]

[lone sinew]

facepalm

[distant night]

:)))

[slim grail]

LOL

sorry im not complaining or insulting anyone

im just shocked that orpheus is a guy. "he" look so feminine and that voice

[tacit ember]

yews he look like girl kinda

[winter harbor]

He got emo after the death of eurydice

[brisk trail]

honestly I rly like it, hades has such diverse character design

[tacit ember]

and voisactor is woman?

[brisk trail]

like most greek inspired games just make em all big swole dudes

[slim grail]

in that game or the myth lore?

[winter harbor]

In the game

[lone sinew]

as a Greek person and a fun of it's mythology i laughed too hard at this lol

[winter harbor]

Probably the myth too

[slim grail]

wait you're a greek? just wanna tell you how much i adore achilles. Not in the game though.. way before that

[lone sinew]

yes i am i like Achilles too

[slim grail]

they are all good looking. even skelly

[lone sinew]

and Apollo im sad he's not in the game

[winter harbor]

Yeah, apollo really feels missing

[lone sinew]

Hera... WHO CARES LOL

[winter harbor]

he could bring plagues, heal, music, or sun stuff

[lone sinew]

hephaestus though

[golden needle]

Hey quick question. I used the Pierced Butterfly (1% Attack up every time you clear a room without taking damage) for Tartarus. If I unequip the butterfly at the cabinet after the first boss do I lose the 11% buff I've gained so far? Basically is the buff tied to the item or is it tied to my character.

[slim grail]

yea i was shocked too. perseus and apollo are the most well known in greek mythology. o well

even kraken

[lone sinew]

I think you lose it

[winter harbor]

Yes, you lose the buff tied to pierced butterfly if you unequip it

[golden needle]

bummer

[tacit ember]

omg what if we get ti fight herceles as a dlc

[brisk trail]

yeah you loose all stacking keepsake buffs if you switch em

[slim grail]

u mean hercules?

[lone sinew]

the prob with Herclus is.. what can he give?

[slim grail]

hercules???

[tacit ember]

yes i speak english 50/50

that was a joke

im just bad at spelling

[slim grail]

nono sorry. because the game also mentioned hera something

but im not sure if its hercules or the other one which i never heard of

[lone sinew]

and after he dies he goes on Olymbus so he could only be an Olymbian god and not a character living in hell

[slim grail]

i know hercules is part of the myth

[lone sinew]

Daedalus: is the smith of the game. Hephaestus: crying alone in a cave

[tacit ember]

alot of stuf? because from th labours of hercules

[keen cargo]

Will there be dlcs?

[lone sinew]

yeah but I think his boons would be simple power ups it wouldnt be fun not 100%

but its not gonna be a prob that he's a demi-god Dionysus is too

[lone sinew]

dont know

[keen cargo]

[lone sinew]

it dosent need dlcs so it wouldnt be a surprise if it didnt got any

its full of content

[keen cargo]

that's true

I love the shade's emotion thingies haha

[rustic valve]

Hercules could actually have been fun as a pure +damage thing - no side-effects, no nothing fancy, just raw strength.

[keen cargo]

@rustic valve so like the hammer but a boon?

[rustic valve]

Wonder if that would have been balanced 🤔

[lone sinew]

is that fun or just good?

[rustic valve]

Probably as a boon like Hermes' stuff, @keen cargo but for Strength rather than Speed.

[keen cargo]

I can get behind that, maybe +raw dmg -hp can worj

[lone sinew]

hmm i dont know

[rustic valve]

something like that yeah, could have been fun.

[lone sinew]

maybe it could be

[rustic valve]

Eh, was just reacting to "but what could he offer?"

The game is pretty complete as it stands

[lone sinew]

at least Hera and Hestia get some aspects Hephaestous is not even mentioned in the game so sad

[brisk trail]

I mean chaos pretty much does that, but there are temporary side effects

[lone sinew]

the only time it happened was Aphrodite talking about her husband but she didnt even say his name

[rustic valve]

Chaos gives +%, I imagine Hercules would give +flat

to make it something distinct and strong

[brisk trail]

interesting

[lone sinew]

Herclues would be like: you want muscle or no?

[brisk trail]

flat damage resistance seems cool

[rustic valve]

I hope the mod scene for Hades continues to grow and eventually experiments with that sort of new boon content

[keen cargo]

Ooh this has mods?

[rustic valve]

On PC, yes. Mostly a bunch of quality of life stuff, but also ways to manipulate which boon you get at the start and stuff like that

[lone sinew]

Herclues could give boosts on the boons you have already

like x2 critical chance

if you have artemis boons

[keen cargo]

Kinda op dont ya think

[strong token]

Hercules is mentioned in the game

Heracles

Same guy, or am I crazy?

[lone sinew]

i dont think so idk

[rustic valve]

Same guy

[remote anchor]

Heracles is the greek name

[rustic valve]

but I don't remember seeing him mentioned

[lone sinew]

Heracles is a real person

[strong token]

Looked it up to make sure and yeah Hercules is the Roman version of Heracles. Weird.

[remote anchor]

@rustic valve he comes up

[lone sinew]

in greek Heracles and Hercules are pronounced and writen the same way

its the same

[tender sapphire]

just me who thinks that hazard bomb should sinergyze with triple or 5 bombs?

[rustic valve]

It synergizes somewhat with Triple

[remote anchor]

I think in ref to the Wrights in zags room

[rustic valve]

It's Very Risky with Cluster Bombs

ohhh, yeah, true

he says somthing like "I'm not Hercules!"

[tender sapphire]

@rustic valve if you pick one you cant pick another

so if you pick hazard you can pick any other bomb upgrade

onlye the area slowdown

[rustic valve]

Oh, really? I was going off how they work xD

[keen cargo]

I'm down for a dlc that gives characters some new clothes

[brisk trail]

due to the way the gra

[lone sinew]

the myth is fake Theseus is so annoying that his father decided to suicide when he saw him coming

[brisk trail]

oops accidentally hit enter

[lone sinew]

so they made up the myth

jk jk

[brisk trail]

due to the way the graphics are made, there has to be 32 versions of each frame of animation

[tender sapphire]

know what i would love? a dlc that gods can have synergy with specific weapons, like zeus shield with ares, so you could expand the area atk of the special or make it suck enemies xD

[brisk trail]

from what I understand

[warped iron]

from what I understand the game actually uses 3d models which are baked to those 2d animations

[brisk trail]

ye

[warped iron]

don't quote me on it though

[brisk trail]

so it would be a Lot of work

[warped iron]

I'm 100% sure sgg has an automation system in place to go from model -> spritesheet

no way they do that by hand

[keen cargo]

I'd pay for a zagreas dlc where he wears Olympian colored clothes

[strong token]

The underworld has an enforced goth style dress code. XD

[manic bobcat]

Apparently some/a lot of it is hand drawn?

[narrow hemlock]

[brisk trail]

thanks, thats what I was (trying to) refer to

[keen cargo]

Ahhh understandable

Atleast i can customize the house

[warped iron]

@manic bobcat i think you misunderstood

I meant that sgg probably has an automated process to convert the 3d models to a spritesheet

and that process is not done manually most likely

[tender sapphire]

what i would love is a skip function

it gets really annoying some times to watch the ending scene every time XD

[rustic valve]

Mods can do that I think

someone's mentioned working on it at least

[warped iron]

@burnt breach someone's asking about skipping the ending scene

[ripe herald]

oh damn, that's a lot of work

[burnt breach]

yeah I know, I plan to make a "stop wasting my time mod" to replace my existing skip death scene mod

[tender sapphire]

PLEASE pm me or something like that when you do xD

[burnt breach]

the nexus mods bot in the modding server posts everytime a mod is published or updated

[tender sapphire]

someone can confirm me if the mirror boon that lets you deal more damage to undamaged enemies, will always do dmg to enemies with armor ? like if they have armor they are always with full health so.. the bonus always aplies?

[tender sapphire]

can you send me a invite to this server?

[burnt breach]

I post it everyday in #self-promotion

I wish the devs put the link in #readme-first

along with the speedrunning server

[manic bobcat]

I did. thanks for the clarification

[burnt breach]

have you watched supergiant's "Inside Hades - 3D Modeling & Rigging" video? Paige explains it

[waxen juniper]

There is so much backstab potential for achilles spear 😍

[lone sinew]

yes because he died from baskstab lol

Paris was building backstab

[chilly stump]

Hey @burnt breach we won't be adding community links to the readme because we want to keep it brief and aimed around our community's rules, but I've pinned the Hades Modding server invite to the self-promotion section. I'm not sure who would have "ownership" over sharing the Hades Speedrun discord there, but if it's shared I'll give that a pin as well.

[atomic seal]

lol people want dlc meanwhile I prefer them working on new game instead or having long break or both

[gaunt valley]

same rana

i cant wait to see what they come up with next

[hasty hinge]

I want more Hades. But I trust them to make the best choice for them

[burnt breach]

oh hey I didn't think you would see my random message haha

about the speedrun server I'll grab the invite link real quick and post it in #self-promotion

[chilly stump]

Woo, thank you!

[hasty hinge]

Also, side note, omg, the Lucifer aspect is so different

Playing with it for the first time rn

[chilly stump]

I was surprised not to find one there already, at least not that the humble search bar could dig up.

[burnt breach]

done

[gaunt valley]

@hasty hinge the rail in general feels quite a bit different then the other weapons imo
but that might just be because it was the last one added

[zealous fiber]

The rail is my favorite weapon

[gaunt valley]

so i got used to the other ones

[zealous fiber]

I cuddle it while sleeping at night

[gaunt valley]

then the rail was added

[hasty hinge]

All the weapons feel like Bastion

[zealous fiber]

The weapons in Hades really make you feel like Batman

[hasty hinge]

But the gameplay loop feels so much better for them imo in Hades

[zealous fiber]

Or like spiderman with his exaggerated swagger
