[brisk trail]

Yes

Do it however you’d like

[timid compass]

speaking of hard
if you clear the game on your first run and activate extreme measures 1, will megaera have a special dialogue to introduce you to her sisters prematurely?

[brisk trail]

No

[distant night]

oooo

[brisk trail]

I’ve tried

[distant night]

thats a good question and it would be lovely if yes

[brisk trail]

The game breaks

[manic elk]

Well we'll see. At least I'm gonna play till I've given the maximal amount of nectar to dusa and see what happens :D And inbefore cthulhu gets to chime in, I'm gonna go sleep. Good night y'all

[brisk trail]

You just don’t get the dialogue

[brisk trail]

What’d I do

[distant night]

D:

[brisk trail]

Gn m8

Sleep well

[distant night]

night ping imagine hypnos swaying here

[timid compass]

It's so funny when you get a chaos effect that slows you down in tartarus because it looks like zag is getting crushed by the door

[brisk trail]

Hmm yeah

Anyway I’m going to go as well

Gl with your run oolung

[timid compass]

thanks

[brisk trail]

Np

[distant night]

the loveliest community with sleepy and passionate lads

[timid compass]

I forgot that middle management barge of death is a stinky miniboss

(also this confirms that the barge is indeed a miniboss)

[distant night]

(it always was)

i personally dont remember seeing any of the crystals when i first was on the barge

[brisk trail]

This is what Hypnos says while looking at a raging horde of shades from Tartarus

[distant night]

😂

well at least shades cant get sleepy i guess

[timid compass]

the community list member (according to hypnos):
-Hypnos
-That's it

[brisk trail]

Debatable

[brisk trail]

Bias?

[timid compass]

naaaah

[burnt breach]

yooooo they added a secret Animal Crossing fishing animation!
https://imgur.com/JL2FbCP

[distant night]

well in the original hades shades dont have to sleep or eat, they dont feel physical pain or tiredness etc

[brisk trail]

I love how I was supposed to get pizza twelve minutes sago ago and I’m siting here sadly

[distant night]

idk how much it's true for this hades but eh

time never moves, so why sleep

[brisk trail]

Fair enough

[distant night]

i wonder how that can be possible hmmmm

[burnt breach]

[timid compass]

PoV: Zagreus offers you a fish
because your epic

[manic bobcat]

like actually? or is this a mod?

[timid compass]

that's probably an edit

[distant night]

hmmmmmmmmm

[hexed shore]

gets exchanged for someone heroic :(

[burnt breach]

yup, just published it

[timid compass]

wait, there's already hades mods?

[distant night]

a silent new patch nowhere emntioned, right Pony?

[burnt breach]

since 2019

[timid compass]

huh

[distant night]

theres a lot of hades mods

personally love apollo and the mirror boost most

[hexed shore]

what do they do

more importantly where do i find these? nexus?

[burnt breach]

yup

you can also check out the modding discord, link is pinned in #self-promotion and I post it every so often

[hexed shore]

lol nvm it all seems broken

[timid compass]

I like how the exalted in elysium are like
"I mastered the art of sword fight in my life, so now I wield one in the afterlife!"
dies
comes back
"Now I master the bow."

[burnt breach]

not sure what you mean

[hexed shore]

I checked top mods and all of them seemed overpowered

[distant night]

hehe yea

[solar scarab]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/651179632120430596/789262614222995516/unknown.png

[burnt breach]

well if you only look at the top files yeah

[distant night]

people like being op

[solar scarab]

mods?

wut

[burnt breach]

@hexed shore If you don't want something that gives you an advantage I suggest my mod Weapon Mastery. If 50 heat isn't enough you can also try the More Heat mod.

[distant night]

there is a 99 heat mod, beautiful

[solar scarab]

There are hades mods?

Where?

[distant night]

In Hell mode, everything dies in one hit, including you.
op 👀

https://www.nexusmods.com/hades/mods or the modding server in #self-promotion

[solar scarab]

oh

neat

[burnt breach]

Also, Codex Menu, although most people use it to cheat, it is the best testing tool you can ever hope for

[distant night]

ooo

[manic bobcat]

ah yes the Katana Zero experience

[timid compass]

greatswords are basically hades new players
they get hit
they dash a million time

[distant night]

why is more darkness for heat not a thing btw?

[timid compass]

(except no one told them to dash AWAY from the attacks)

[burnt breach]

[distant night]

according to the wiki i'd assume it used to be a thing at least

was it too op?

longbows are the new bow players who forget that special is a thing

[burnt breach]

@hexed shore Oh yeah and check out my mod Pony's Quality of Life

[distant night]

runrunrun, find maybe a safe spot and try to aim

and while doing so take damage

[burnt breach]

includes many community suggested changes to the game

[timid compass]

more darkness per heat: I sleep
More underworld treasures per heat: AWAKENED

help
I'm at 62 hp in elysium and I haven't seen a charon well or a pat in ages

[hexed shore]

rip, well thats a really good mod pony, thanks

[burnt breach]

lol you got censored

[hexed shore]

ye didnt expect poop to be censored

[distant night]

question is the apollo mod gone or just not ready for nexus or on a totally different site?

[burnt breach]

I have no idea what apollo mod you're talking about, there was never one

[distant night]

if we have pony here

[timid compass]

Is it possible for a god to run out of boons to give you?
or will they resort to trading your other god's boons for theirs?

[burnt breach]

if they run out of boons they give you 300 gold

[distant night]

huh i remember somebody sending in a few screenies of their game with a new undiscovered god and a sun boon

[burnt breach]

that was me lul

[timid compass]

I've found artemis an awful lot in this run and there's 3 of her boons in the temple of styx

[distant night]

really?

[burnt breach]

I'm working on adding Hestia

[distant night]

i dont think it was just you tho

[burnt breach]

the apollo icon is just a wip, I have assets ready for it

[distant night]

i would remember because of how embarrassed i am over thinking that your pfp was an octopus

[burnt breach]

[distant night]

huuuuuuuh

yeah i never saw that it's animated

[frigid abyss]

time to make another attempt at fists 😩

[hexed shore]

octopus how

[distant night]

idk man

[manic bobcat]

is rerollable hammer mod a thing yet?

[burnt breach]

#h1-discussion message

[distant night]

i was just so sure

[burnt breach]

yes

[hexed shore]

man i love fists so much but cant make them work to save my life

[frigid abyss]

you know, at least fists are fun

[distant night]

incredibly fun

[frigid abyss]

it's not like with sword where i am trying but suffering

[winter harbor]

I really like fists too

[frigid abyss]

fists im doing bad but having a great time

[stark onyx]

until you unlock the hidden aspect 👀

[distant night]

myth what do you find difficult about fists?

[winter harbor]

I love the upfront and personal playstyle

[hexed shore]

i think sword is easier than fists

[stark onyx]

the hidden aspect of the fists can also be fun but you gotta be very very careful

[frigid abyss]

i got to the second round of hades on like my second try at them which is good

[stark onyx]

i like Talos a lot!

[distant night]

talos is bae

[frigid abyss]

but i do not know how im going to win

[distant night]

demeter is also good

[hexed shore]

idk i think the range makes me put myself out there too much

long knuckle really helped whenever i rolled it but without

ahhhhh

[manic bobcat]

you can rely on stun lock to keep yourself safe

use dash strike to cover your combo downtime

[timid compass]

I used to not be able to clear a fist run without losing at least 2 death defiance
and I played it a while and became better at it than with bow (my main)

[distant night]

maybe try talos with zeus cast to get rid of farther awa enemies?

[hexed shore]

sure but i have trouble with bosses not mobs

especially theseus

[distant night]

hmm

theseus is pretty interesting with fists yes

[frigid abyss]

yeah for theseus i definitely used a companion to get him down

[stark onyx]

hermes's plume doesn't sound bad if you're doing this at low heat

[hexed shore]

i did one run with max zag fists and plume

it was hilarious

[stark onyx]

get dodges and combine it with greater evasion, it'll definitely help out a bit

[frigid abyss]

i had a pretty good build going with demeter on attack but idk what else to do

[hexed shore]

like i can finish runs but its just not comfortable like with other weapons

its always really close

[stark onyx]

mmm yeah, I'm like that with the rail

I never seem to get it to work

[frigid abyss]

i think part of it is that im playing on keyboard and mouse

[hexed shore]

im kb/m too

[frigid abyss]

yeah i feel like fists are a controller weapon

or at least one that feels better on controller

[stark onyx]

i said this before but like switching the controls can help a LOT

put special on right click and cast on scroll

[winter harbor]

I'm on kbm and I think I do better on fists

[hexed shore]

yea thats how i play tisi

[frigid abyss]

that actually sounds like a good idea but ive logged 72 hours now

[winter harbor]

Yeah, special should be on right click

[hexed shore]

i think kbm is better personally, idk if i can live without ever dashing and attacking different directions

[timid compass]

I'm currently holding deadly strike, pressure points, hide breaker, clean kill, hunter instincts, hunter's mark and support fire
i think I'm currently holding all the different artemis boons I possibly can

[stark onyx]

yeah! unless you're using aspect of hera/||aspect of Beowulf|| where you want cast on your right click

omg i think you might unlock the Artemis's disciple title

[distant night]

cast can be on the flipping SCROLL

i never realized this

[stark onyx]

yeah! but you need to click it, not scroll

[distant night]

i felt so comfy with it on q

[frigid abyss]

yeah i saw someone put their reload on the scroll for the rail and my brain expanded

[distant night]

;_;

[brisk trail]

Okay, yes, I do that, handholder.

[frigid abyss]

i was like of COURSE

[timid compass]

My scroll button doesn't work anymore :' (

[hexed shore]

ive never played with cast on keyboard

[stark onyx]

NOOOOOO

[brisk trail]

I've got reload on a thumb mouse button.

[maiden urchin]

i have dash on middle mouse

[distant night]

i liked cast on q since i never used it

[frigid abyss]

my mouse is not gamer enough to have a thumb button

[hexed shore]

i knew i'd forget to use it like with companion lmfao

[stark onyx]

i usually put reload on Q

[timid compass]

relatable

[stark onyx]

I'm very comfortable with WAZD + space dash too because I can comfortably use my left hand

[brisk trail]

Mine has two, but I've deeefinitely seen even very standard mice with at least one thumb button.

[hexed shore]

ive got cast on thumb, nothing on scroll, scroll is awkward

[frigid abyss]

what gods do we like on fists friends

[distant night]

awh men

[brisk trail]

Wait.

[distant night]

i typed mushrooms

[brisk trail]

WASD or WAZD?

[stark onyx]

doom special

[distant night]

but now after learning holy shiake mushrooms cast DOES things i struggle

[stark onyx]

i don't remember!! the default one

[hexed shore]

i like aphrodite on special and demeter atk

[frigid abyss]

technically im playing on ZQSD

[stark onyx]

hey king behavior

for fists i like demeter/aphro attack and for special artemis on the hidden aspect

[hexed shore]

ares cast and athena aid are always my goto on melee

[frigid abyss]

ok ill keep pushing for demeter i just need to start this run lol

[brisk trail]

Cursed posters. Mod, please cleanse chat.

[stark onyx]

Ares is good on the special though

[hexed shore]

yea sure but i think doom goes off too quick

and i cant be arsed to keep using special

[stark onyx]

you want privileged status?

[hexed shore]

yee

[stark onyx]

mmm then yea aphro/demeter is your best shot

You could also try aphro/dionysus

[hexed shore]

i dont like dio very much without ares

[frigid abyss]

ill see who i get

[stark onyx]

get something like rapid attacks with hangover and the duo boon for hangover big stacks

[hexed shore]

wait does dem/ares and ares/artemis duo work together?

[distant night]

i imagine a aphro dio demeter ares build to be fun

[potent river]

Is there a way I can make that start up stabbing sound much quieter so it doesn't scare the crap out of me every time?

[stark onyx]

there should be an option in settings

[hexed shore]

why demeter @distant night

[distant night]

cause she gives chill

so you'd have a 4 status effects build

[hexed shore]

yea but what do you put it on

aid?

[distant night]

probably

[timid compass]

NAAAH
||I DIED ONE HIT AWAY FROM BEATING 16 HEAT EM HADES||

[hexed shore]

should've crit

smh

[frigid abyss]

🇫

[timid compass]

I literally used zag's bow with artemis on attack

don't talk to me about crit

[distant night]

ooP

[hexed shore]

i know, i saw your boons list lmao

[timid compass]

and even with 40% bonus crit dmg it dealt nothing

barely 500 dmg

[hexed shore]

how do you make zag's bow work tho

[manic bobcat]

dash strike a lot

[brisk trail]

Spam Dash-Strikes, or Flurry Shot.

[hexed shore]

the special just feels really meh to me

[manic bobcat]

Twin shot Triple shot point blank flurry perfect shot

Hunter Dash and Deadly Strike

[hexed shore]

wait twin shot is actually good?

[brisk trail]

Zag Bow doesn't buff Special, at max level it's 15% crit chance.

Yes, Twin Shot is almost certainly the best Attack hammer.

[manic bobcat]

Twin shot is one of the best hammer for attack heavy bow

so yes

[brisk trail]

Rama might like Triple better.

[hexed shore]

ooh i've only played chiron

[timid compass]

um
question
will hypnos's heart unlock the next time i talk to him after ||thanatos apologizes||?

[hexed thicket]

does beowulf's aspect had the blocking feature that other aspects have

[hexed shore]

do the chances of finding higher rarity boons go up with heat?

[hexed thicket]

also is it worth it? I just unlocked it but I'm not too into shield

[distant night]

guys

hidden weapons are spoilers here, no?

[hexed shore]

I was under the impression shield hidden is best shield aspect?

[distant night]

the other aspects are ballanced well if you like special on it

[winter harbor]

No, only with the mirror upgrade

[distant night]

but if you dont - hidden shield is totally the best

[hexed shore]

balanced is a funny way to put it Keepo

[timid compass]

this is a 😳 moment
||Meg had a bubble with a heart in it and when I talked to her we went in my bedroom and then WHIP NOISES AND MOANING||

[distant night]

ah yes

that can happen

[frigid abyss]

i also just had a 😳 moment

[timid compass]

😳

[frigid abyss]

||thanatos showed up in one of the challenge battles and at the end he said "see you at home" OK||

[distant night]

totally not wishing for them to just play board games

thats nice tho, than would be a really good househusband

[hexed shore]

i wish we could actually interact with artemis at some point

she seems really cool

[timid compass]

artemis simps, assemble!

[bright sphinx]

screw artemis, I wanna hang out with my boy Dionysus

[timid compass]

Twitch version: artemis [redacted], assemble!

[hexed shore]

is it a color that rhymes with clue?

[distant night]

a dio simp!

welcome!

[rancid vapor]

+60% enemies makes Elysium fights 100+ mobs it's just ridiculous

[frigid abyss]

everyone's a dio simp 😩

[distant night]

any nice hue

[hexed shore]

honestly artemis and dio seem like the only two who wouldnt snitch

[distant night]

snitch?

[carmine ravine]

banned by twitch

[hexed shore]

snitch about what you're actually doing, i havent seen epilogue yet so no spoolers pls

[distant night]

ahh

[timid compass]

I just made dionysos proud
because I had a lot of ambrosia

[distant night]

ares wouldnt snitch either cause he dun care for ||demeter|| lmaoooooo

[bright sphinx]

A man of culture

[distant night]

thats the spirit!

[timid compass]

(I only have 5)

[hexed shore]

ares seems like he'd tell on you if it works for him at some point

[distant night]

sitting on 10 ambrosia being unable to progress anything cause the dialogue pool dun like me

[hexed shore]

i wouldnt be comfortable with entrusting my secret to ares of all people

[distant night]

ares in this game is weird

[hexed shore]

i feel that

it breaks my heart whenever i have to pick against artemis for trials but its still better than having to face demeter or aprhodite's rage LUL

she sounds so disappointed even after the trial ends

[distant night]

omg demeters rage is the WORST

[bright sphinx]

Ares doesn't care about what you're doing, as long as you cause bloodshed

Whaaaaat

[distant night]

i loathe when theseus gets her favor

[bright sphinx]

Demeter's the most chill one

haha

get it

[timid compass]

I think it would be really funny if ||after a succesful fight in erebus hades just said KEYBOARD SMASHING NOISES instead of using the usual quotes for beating survival rooms||

[distant night]

h ah a

[bright sphinx]

[hexed shore]

i agree, theseus getting demeter is good enough reason to pick demeter

[distant night]

I JUST NOTICED YOUR PFP OMG YOU LEGEND

[timid compass]

E

[distant night]

A

[bright sphinx]

🇪

[distant night]

this whole channel stopped because of a meme omfg i love this server

[timid compass]

I never skip any dialogue in game unless I'm 100% sure I've already heard it or if it's from theseus

[distant night]

how dare you skip theseus D:

he has secret dialogue D:

[timid compass]

"Blasted mons-"
no

well luckily I read faster than he talks so that helps

[hexed shore]

i hate theseus with a passion

[rancid vapor]

What does it mean?! ||https://i.imgur.com/VRQQsa1.png||

[hexed shore]

and i hate asterius even more for simping for him

[distant night]

||try buying ariadnes yarn||

[bright sphinx]

CEASE YOU BLACKGAURD! I, THESEUS WIL-

skipskipskipskip

[distant night]

ah you can buy ||EM4|| from the house contractor now

[timid compass]

look the end of the message

[rancid vapor]

👀

[distant night]

oh i didnt even read that far

https://tenor.com/view/ea-sports-e-ea-meme-gif-14922519

[hexed shore]

theseus skippers are the superior readers confirmed

[timid compass]

ZAGREUS IS NOW
OWNER OF MEMES

give all your memes to zagreus

now

[rancid vapor]

The power of memes... I need it

[distant night]

no

mine

[timid compass]

So
poseidon calls zagreus "li'l hades", right
that means hades should be "big zagreus"
makes sense, doesn't it?

[distant night]

why

[timid compass]

maths

hades/2=zagreus

zagreus*2=hades

[distant night]

why 2

little doesnt mean half

[timid compass]

because 2

[distant night]

no

[cobalt haven]

just beat ||em4|| first try agxhsjdbhsjdjc

[distant night]

well done dear achilles simp :o

[rancid vapor]

||EM4 + 100% Hard Labour|| makes ||Hades|| hit like a freight train it hurts so much guys

[hexed shore]

have you tried not getting hit

[distant night]

aphro is a must have with that huh

[rancid vapor]

I tried dodging, yes

[hexed shore]

understandable have a nice day

[timid compass]

speaking of train, have you tried forced overtime?

[distant night]

did you mean forced overtime 2?

[rancid vapor]

Basically this...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvS6zMThiZU

He even has the same beam

[distant night]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-dodge-dancing-gif-9449699

one day

[hexed shore]

mfw plume with zag aspect fists ^

[distant night]

😂

[distant night]

this is what theseus thinks he does when he turns his back on you after trying to hit you once

[frigid abyss]

i cannot get a good run going lmao

[hexed shore]

when in low spirits, pick up chiron and rolfstomp some noobs

[frigid abyss]

im trying to beat the game on every weapon first 😩

[narrow rampart]

I have a question for you

[hexed shore]

i thought of doing that then i realized spear is a weapon

[timid compass]

i'm surprised artemis doesn't have any status affliction
(unless hunter's mark count as one perhaps?)
she could have something like "enemies you hit with a critical hit bleed"

[hexed shore]

mark counts

[narrow rampart]

What was your highest stack on hoarding slash?

[hexed shore]

I mean mark counts for priv status atleast if thats what you're saying

i personally feel artemis is feels bad cause mark keeps jumping right and left

[timid compass]

yeah that

I know they added a bunch of minions to most boss fight so that this kind of boons still work against bosses but ehh

[narrow rampart]

Also they should add an achievement for applying every status effect at once

[manic bobcat]

Father!
Boy!
Father!
I'm right here!
Father!
I can hear you fine.
Father!
Oh shut up.

[hexed shore]

I mean you dont really want to actually attack the minions most of the time

[timid compass]

reminds me of
"-Hades!
-Pit!
-Hades!!!
-Pit!!!
-HADES!
-PIT!
-Hades..."

[narrow rampart]

Hey Pitoo!

[timid compass]

Hello again, pitty!

[frigid abyss]

man...alecto is rough 😩

[narrow rampart]

I Pit the fool

[timid compass]

I haven't actually played kid icarus uprising yet please don't kill me

[narrow rampart]

I did but it was a while ago

And I lost the charger for my 3ds

[timid compass]

the worst part is that I actually own the game
but I just can't find the courage to turn on my 2ds

it takes so much time to turn on
and the sound button is broken

[narrow rampart]

2ds? Blasphemy

[timid compass]

so it's stuck to the max

[narrow rampart]

Oof

[timid compass]

I really need to get myself a 3ds one day

the 2ds is a piece of junk

[narrow rampart]

I want to get a 3dsXL

Cause my 3ds is worn out

[timid compass]

same, because of the broken sound button the volume is stuck to max
and i'm forced to use headphones if I want to not have it be loud as hell

so if I wanna play the 2ds I need to get my 2ds AND my headphones

by the time I do that I can easily just start a game on my computer

[narrow rampart]

Mine just has a battery that doesn't hold a charge, a few small cracks, a wobbly screen and a peeling + button

[timid compass]

yes I am lazy please don't @ me

[distant night]

may i ask what yall are talking about @-@

[timid compass]

actually my battery doesn't last long at all either

[narrow rampart]

Kid Icarus

[distant night]

whats that

[narrow rampart]

Uh, have you played super smash bros?

[timid compass]

I have the game
only played 5 minutes
wanna play more
have to put up with all the problems my old and broken 2ds has

[distant night]

nope

[narrow rampart]

Oof

[flat vapor]

#video-games if this discussion keeps continuing in this direction 😅

[distant night]

but i think mods are incoming to reprimand this discussion

[narrow rampart]

Well it's a game for 3ds

[distant night]

yep there he is

[narrow rampart]

Yeah that's fair

[distant night]

sorry onyx!

[timid compass]

back to hades!
hermes just called me a slugpoke

[flat vapor]

it's fine!

[distant night]

smooth

[narrow rampart]

Anyway, what's the highest stack you got on hoarding slash?

[distant night]

hermes is such a nice character

i dont want to see him but i feel bad for that

[timid compass]

it's funny, when I pause the game the music becomes muffles so it sounds like it's coming from outside my house

I can see that being used for a meme

[narrow rampart]

Really? But his boons are great?

[distant night]

hades rave outside your house 😂

[timid compass]

You know the one with the guy in his bed crying while there's a party outside

[narrow rampart]

Same if orpheus us singing and you go to Hades's bedroom

Gets muffled

[timid compass]

the guy in bed would be hades
and there would be zag partying outside his window

[distant night]

maybe it's just my rng but whenever he is the next chamber's reward the other reward is just much better (like a god that i actually need or a hammer etc)

and i personally dont want to get the rng of only getting speed boons

they are barely noticeable and not even worth being sold

[narrow rampart]

Hades trying to sleep but Orpheus is blasting the unseen ones

[distant night]

cerb trying to stay calm but then orpheus hits one of his high notes

the french bread

[round venture]

hades is swag balls

[narrow rampart]

Orpheus with trumpet and zagreus slamming the oven

[round venture]

I've always been a fan of roguelikes and bullet hells so I really enjoyed this game

haven't been this into a game since I got into binding of isaac

[timid compass]

you know that meme with the guy and the dog dancing
this but the guy is zag/hades and the dog is cerberus

[distant night]

welcome to hades and gg on the virginity

[round venture]

dance dance til youre dead

[timid compass]

dance til there is no escape

[distant night]

hades has the best vine compilations change my mind

[final dew]

Same here, it reminded me a lot of tboi and when i played i felt right at home

[narrow rampart]

Greek god vines are always great

[distant night]

wholesome

vines are almost always great

i miss them

[round venture]

I've been into the binding of isaac since i was like young

I played the demo on newgrounds in the computer lab a lot 🧟‍♂️

so roguelikes have a special place in my heart

[narrow rampart]

The only rougelike I really played before Hades was Necrodancer

[final dew]

I went all the way through binding of isaac, enter the gungeon, necrodancer, and now hades

[round venture]

I love necrodancer but suck at rhythm games

[final dew]

gungeon is a rougelike right

[round venture]

yeah

im a god at binding of isaac afterbirth

[timid compass]

oops

[round venture]

I have like 220 hours put in 🧟‍♂️

[timid compass]

eurydice explaining to zagreus what a tan is is cute as hell

[final dew]

i think i stopped around 500 or so hours over different platforms

[noble glade]

THANK YOU FOR THE PATCH SUPERGIANT!

[round venture]

I got one of my friends into Hades

[distant night]

i wish there were more moments like that, of people telling zag how the world above is and him freaking out about it

[round venture]

I told him it's great especially if you live roguelikes and bullet hells and now he has like 20 hours on it

lmfao there are people living their lives above you zag

[distant night]

his reaction to the snow was kinda sad but eh maybe hades has an ice stage (coming)

[narrow rampart]

I bet he would be freaked out by snails

Or turtles

Oh that reminds me

[timid compass]

I think there's a dialogue where someone explains to him what a bear is

[round venture]

or normal dogs

[narrow rampart]

I hope we get an NPC in styx

[round venture]

because he is used to giant three headed dogs

[timid compass]

technically if zagreus is paying attention when hermes visits him he should know what a turtle is

[round venture]

im sure a normal dog would confuse him

[narrow rampart]

Oh right

[round venture]

I forgot hermes totes around a little turtle

I love the character design

[narrow rampart]

I guess he saw one he just doesn't know what they are

[timid compass]

cries in cerberus

[narrow rampart]

Hmm

But you already have Cerberus at home

Cerberus at home:

[timid compass]

Cerberus at home: I sleep
Cerberus in styx: I sit

||Cerberus in EM4: AWAKENED||

[manic bobcat]

lol

[narrow rampart]

Also I wish we could meet Daedalus, I know he's somewhere in Elysium

[round venture]

yeah I really wish I could thank him for the excellent upgrades with a nectar

maybe he will be added in later on

[narrow rampart]

And I bet Asterius would compliment him on his labyrinth

Oh wait Asterius probably met him

[timid compass]

apparently the game is in (mostly) final state
so I wouldn't hope for new content too much

[narrow rampart]

Since he made the golden armour

[round venture]

I mean a man can dream

[manic bobcat]

I think cross save was the last promised thing

[round venture]

im satisfied with the game as is

[timid compass]

I also thought the game would get more updates considering they announced the game to be "in 1.0"
I thought that implied that there would be more after that

[manic bobcat]

SGG has completed their listed goals afaik

[distant night]

that reminds me; if cerb were to die would he end up in hades

since the current hades ingame doesnt feature many animals

[timid compass]

I have a lot of questions regarding peoples dying in the underworld
for example, I know meg is taken by the styx to be brought back to the house of hades but what happens to aleto/tisiphone?

[narrow rampart]

Well everyone ends up in hades when they die

[timid compass]

If a shade dies, does it also comes back?

[plush citrus]

||cerberus in em4: finally taking the family dog for a walk||

[timid compass]

can a shade die?

[distant night]

they probably have their own styx pool at home

[timid compass]

full of green butterflies

[distant night]

they arent corporeal, you literally walk through them and they disappear

[round venture]

its like coming home from work

[distant night]

everything else just goes back to the river they died by since they arent purely shades per se

they work under hades

[narrow rampart]

Well yes and no

[distant night]

their job entails being killable for zag to have a chance

[narrow rampart]

Numbskulls don't really work for him, they jist attack whoever they see

[distant night]

true

numbskulls are just pesky

or vermins

[narrow rampart]

Wait so what happens to satyrs?

[distant night]

they hopefully die

[narrow rampart]

And then?

Tartarus?

[distant night]

then they end up in pre-hades where beasts live that die

[narrow rampart]

In what?

[distant night]

in sggs hades they would probably end up in tartarus like asterius until a theseus of their choice gets them out

[narrow rampart]

So how come we never meet a dead satyr in tartarus?

[distant night]

the original underworld has multiple stages, like elysium asphodel etc, one of them is for beasts

[distant night]

how come we dont meet cronos?

[timid compass]

I really need to know the lore of why ares and athena are the only two characters whose portrait can blink

[narrow rampart]

I mean, tehnically we do?

[distant night]

but we dont see him do we

[narrow rampart]

Titan blood

[distant night]

lol

cronos is locked up in tartarus

so we should see him as in his being

but we dont

[narrow rampart]

They were shattered and broken to pieces and scattered across the pits of tartarus, so they can't reform

[distant night]

ehh the whole hades in this game is kinda standing upside down

[narrow rampart]

And titan blood is one of the pieces

[timid compass]

by" the whole hades" you mean underworld?

[distant night]

yes the underworld is called hades too sry i forget

it's too late to think straight even if i never do lol

[timid compass]

the underworld is called hades?

[narrow rampart]

Yes

[timid compass]

that's silly

[narrow rampart]

It's like "the realm of hades"

[distant night]

Afterwards, many of the Titans were confined in Tartarus. However, Oceanus, Helios, Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus and Menoetius were not imprisoned
In Homeric and other texts Cronus is imprisoned with the other Titans in Tartarus. In Orphic poems, he is imprisoned for eternity in the cave of Nyx

[narrow hemlock]

hades, tartarus and erebus are all things that refer to both a god and a place

[distant night]

^

[narrow rampart]

Wait, prometheus is a titan?

[manic bobcat]

ye'

[plush citrus]

i never noticed this omg

[distant night]

Prometheus is a Titan god of fire.

which is kinda funny

for obvious reasons

[timid compass]

wait
I might have seen dionysus blink
but I closed his text box too fast
so I'll have to wait for next run to check again

[narrow rampart]

Anyway ingame lore says that titans can't reform because their pieces were scattered across all the pits of tartarus

[distant night]

you mean the codex entry of the blood?

[narrow rampart]

I think so

[distant night]

yeah i just read through it

gosh i'm tired

[narrow rampart]

Or maybe achiles

[distant night]

anyways achilles is a mere mortal so we cant say that his codex entries are full canon

but idk it doesnt really make sense lol but i'm too tired to think harder about it

[narrow rampart]

Well i mean yes, but it's not like the gods are any more trustworthy

Or old man

[distant night]

the more i think about the underworld the more i realize how much sgg changed

like the house/"castle" of hades is at the fields of elysium

which wouldnt make sense in game but makes more sense in the actual mythos

[frigid abyss]

is there something special for your 84th run where they give you poseidon despite asking for other things 😩

[timid compass]

"you complete fool!"

[narrow rampart]

I mean hades has the sigilz he can teleport anywhere

[frigid abyss]

||oh it's a fishing thing....that's nice poseidon but im trying to win here?||

[distant night]

yes but it's for the shade discussions

like the ones you sometimes see where he asks the shades to line up with their complaints

[timid compass]

I've been racing with asterius for 20 seconds because he kept avoiding obstacles

[narrow rampart]

Old man bust is best furniture

Cause you get to heckle the narrator

[distant night]

the castle was at the junction of elysium and cocytos (the river of punishment in english i think) to actually allow the shades (who cat teleport in the myths lmao) to walk up to the house of hades and have an audience( that the right word? idk) with their king/god

so yeah head hurts now

[narrow rampart]

Sure

[distant night]

this makes me sad i like the underworld

[timid compass]

myths hades is a noob that can't even teleport
sgg hades is a teleporting chad

[distant night]

[narrow rampart]

Well ingame, the shades first go to Erebus, then get an audience in house, then get sent to tartarus, Elysium or asphodel

[distant night]

teleporting chad with the best beard

[narrow rampart]

Hades can teleport

That's how he always beats you tot he surface

[timid compass]

Imagine hades
but instead of his beard being in the shape of his seal it's in the shape of a cool s

[distant night]

the sigil in the administrative chambers yeah

[narrow rampart]

He has the tp sigil in the record room

[distant night]

fellow artemis simp nooooooooo

[narrow rampart]

I mean he just needs to comb the bottom and it will be

[distant night]

if somebody ever makes the twitch language mod i hope they change his beard to it

but please goddess get this picture out of my head for now

[narrow rampart]

Imagine if he combed his mustache sideways so it would be a

[timid compass]

goddamnit
My cat scared me and I got hit because if it

[distant night]

:O a catto

[narrow rampart]

\o/ mustache

[timid compass]

her name is
mojito

[distant night]

i love her

[narrow rampart]

My cat's name is Una

[distant night]

wait did you change your name codebreaker

[narrow rampart]

Mayhaps

[distant night]

👀

[distant night]

una is lovely

[narrow rampart]

It's cause her face fur pattern looks like a 1

[distant night]

so it's pronounced like spanish una and not juna

[narrow rampart]

Also her birthname was honor and i didn't want to confuse her too much

[timid compass]

i like how supergiant did their best to stay accurate to greek mythology
but then charon sells you mcdonald

[narrow rampart]

Anyway, I wonder if there's any cats in the underworld

[distant night]

gyros and fries is good and on theme

[timid compass]

do lions and chariots counts as cats?

[narrow rampart]

Hm

[lime urchin]

Might as well

[narrow rampart]

Oh that reminds me

[distant night]

if cats were in the underworld, vermin would not be a problem in styx but their daily hunting holiday

[cunning kettle]

Hey, so I might be slightly addicted to this game

[narrow rampart]

I was talking to Ares

[distant night]

welcome to hades!

[cunning kettle]

I just bought it a few days ago

[narrow rampart]

And he congratulated ne on killing 100 enemies

When I killed 500

Or was it 1000?

[manic bobcat]

48 houts in the game in the first week

[distant night]

he asked me if i killed 10k enemies when i had 50k and the prophecy didnt want to trigger

[manic bobcat]

game is addictive yeh

[narrow rampart]

Yeah that voiceline is way too low on the priority list

[lime urchin]

it's so much fun and I don't normally play action games

[distant night]

understandable tho

i too would rather thirst for nyx than talk about 10k shades/vermin dead

[timid compass]

I just lost a death defiance in styx templ so I think I'm juuuuust gonna turn off the bonus damage on traps for next runs

[narrow rampart]

I have 70 hours and now I'm taking a break

Why does poison count as a trap!

[lime urchin]

If I play a game too much I take breaks because I don't want to get bored of it

[narrow rampart]

Same

[distant night]

you will never get tired of it

[manic bobcat]

not all poison are traps

[timid compass]

not even poison
it was sawblades that got me

[manic bobcat]

poison from gases and puddles are traps and boosted by Heightened Security

[distant night]

oof

[lime urchin]

Trust me I just play the game too much that it gets tiring for a moment

[narrow rampart]

Also i'm kinda busy with league, waven and runeterra atm

[manic bobcat]

poison from satyrs are damage and boosted by Hard Labor

[cunning kettle]

Thanks! It's real fun. And now I can't get the song "Good Riddance" out of my head

[timid compass]

I got my death defiance back (yay)

[lime urchin]

same omg the song is so amazing

[distant night]

wait till you get ||in the blood|| or ||hymn to redacted for your own enjoyment||

[timid compass]

^

[narrow rampart]

Atlas rest your weary bones

[timid compass]

I was at half health in styx
and then I remembered demeter has a boon that heals me for a lot

[distant night]

i remember getting to eurydice and just...... letting go of the mouse and having thug tears streaming down my face for 5mins

[cunning kettle]

While I haven't played Transitor (have bought it) and Pyre (have not bought it), I beat Bastion years ago and I remember how good it was. And with this, it seems that Supergiants might be my favorite developer right now

[narrow rampart]

Bastion is so good

What was your favourite weapon?

[cunning kettle]

It's been a long while since I last played through it, but I remember I enjoyed the long range and explosive ones

[narrow rampart]

Rucks: Ok now that's just overkill

[cunning kettle]

Yep. Probably why I've gravitated towards the Rail in Hades

[lime urchin]

Crazy enough I've had Bastion for a while now because of a steam summer sale a while back, never played it for more than five minutes though

[timid compass]

@cunning kettle is your pfp shoggoth as a waifu?
Don't ask how I know about it

[narrow rampart]

Mine was musket

I tuned it into sparta mode

[cunning kettle]

Why yes, yes it is!

[timid compass]

😳

[narrow rampart]

Long range, narrow spread, max knockback

So good for clearing lunkheads

[distant night]

may i ask how

[cunning kettle]

Question, if you block something with the shield, does it still trigger revenge boons?

[narrow rampart]

Nah

[timid compass]

I just looked up shoggoth on google images and less than 100 results below it popped up

[narrow rampart]

Revenge boons are only good with vengeful mood

[cunning kettle]

found it on the Yugioh Dragonmaid servers, if I remember right. I just liked it, as I like lovecraftian stuff, and just made it my avatar

[distant night]

oh good goddess i looked up shoggoth

i love lovecraftian stuff but it does make you uncomfy

[cunning kettle]

Yeah, but I did want to try a build like that. I did see one on Youtube. dude never even attacked Hades and won

[distant night]

the only revenge build that is fun is ares one with i think the zeus duo

[narrow rampart]

I mean if you have vengeful mood you can just stand there with a shield

[distant night]

yeah it's fun

sword?

ah

beautiful

even more beautiful omg

[narrow rampart]

||Beowulf|| is kinda hard to use

[distant night]

spoiler the name

hidden shield is good when you dont like shield special

[narrow rampart]

Really funny with piercing strike hammer

[cunning kettle]

Sorry for the many questions, but I did want to know what's better for the Rail attack. I've been using Zeus, but I was curious on... (Spoilers)

[lime urchin]

Does Jolt affect Lightning Damage or Bolt Damage or both

[distant night]

zeus is beautiful for rail attack

[manic bobcat]

you nailed it

[distant night]

hidden rail attack likes any boons i guess but poseidon attack with hidden rail is the meme build

[manic bobcat]

there is also a spreadfire with hunter dash and deadly trike build

but you need to find spreadfire obviously

[narrow rampart]

My secon win was with Dionysus rail

[distant night]

||to spoiler something you can just to this||

pinned in #h1-story-discussion

[cunning kettle]

||Test||

[distant night]

ayeeee

[narrow rampart]

Amd my first win was Dionysus shield

In zeus mode

[distant night]

dio shield?

ah

[cunning kettle]

Huh. First time I've ever used a |

[distant night]

omg thats beautiful

[narrow rampart]

There's also ** and __

[distant night]

dio with zeus shield

[narrow rampart]

And ares on attack

And dio-afro double

[distant night]

ooooooh interesting but i wouldnt gofor that without doom stacking

[timid compass]

||I HATE THE SPEAR THROW ATTACK||

zag's bow sucks

[narrow rampart]

Afro dash

[distant night]

aphro = afro?

[narrow rampart]

Ye

[distant night]

spear throw really gets some daddy daed love tho

[narrow rampart]

I only use spear throw with hidden aspect

[distant night]

making it like the shield special or do insane damage to armored guys (which means byebye minibosses!!)

spear throw with achilles is sexy

[lime urchin]

Praying Jolt affects Bolt Damage because I just took it

[timid compass]

I mean ||His|| spear throw

[distant night]

it really makes you go zoom

[cunning kettle]

alright, I've got to head out and get food. But I'll hopefully be back soon

[lime urchin]

Eat well!!

[timid compass]

IT HAPPENED

[distant night]

may the noms be with you

[timid compass]

I UNLOCKED HYPNOS'S HEART

[distant night]

YEY

[lime urchin]

WOOOOOO

[timid compass]

EAT YOUR SOUP NOW HYPNOS

[tired sundial]

Devour it

[timid compass]

I thought after this run it would be midnight or something
but I think I spent so much time taking on discord it's now 2 am

[distant night]

timezone neighbors

beautiful

[timid compass]

I could be wrong but I feel like taking artemis on attack with zag's bow is a mistake
yeah, I get more crit chance but the dmg multiplier is weak
should try to get something with a big dmg multiplier like aphrodite or poseidon (?)

[distant night]

aphro yessssss

with the duo of artemis and aphro (if you get artemis on dash i think) for the crit of the bow to do more damage i think??

i gotta try bow more, idk any bow strats except for dio on chiron special

[manic bobcat]

My humble abode 😳

[distant night]

aww the nyx portrait besides the kids and cerb

[manic bobcat]

the blue lilac to match Nyx color, too

[brisk trail]

where is the bat cage at

i dont know if im blind but i couldnt find it last time

[timid compass]

middle bottom

in the lounge

[brisk trail]

oki, thanks

[distant night]

i wonder what is up above zag's room

[manic bobcat]

DLC contents 👀

[timid compass]

also I think we have almost the same hades's house

what if you could play as hypnos

[distant night]

why are there scrolls above the administrative chamber wtf

[timid compass]

instead of killing enemies you put them to sleep

[manic bobcat]

huh

what scroll

[distant night]

50/50 chance that you fall asleep instead

[distant night]

look to the top of the administrative chamber door a bit to the right, just scrolls

[timid compass]

aaaand geno is a mii fighter

now back to hades related talk

[manic bobcat]

yeah, I think that's just storage, or DLC contents 👀

[distant night]

👀

i cant imagine anybody but dusa beig able to use those scrolls

i guess only the real bad people get put up there

[floral hazel]

Hades au where everything is the same except Dionysus has grape jelly in his hair.

[timid compass]

it makes them look shiny!

I'm gonna go sleep
and tomorrow hopefully I'll finally clear a 16 heat run and have a bond with hypnos

[distant night]

good night!

[distant night]

so... nothing is different?

[tired sundial]

Jelly hangover

Like regular hangover but also slows and makes them fall

[barren ocean]

Ay.

Switch got a hades update finally

And i think it fixed a few bugs

Cause i finally got good riddance unlocked

After... 232 runs

[hollow thunder]

How good is Hades, purely from a gameplay perspective

[distant night]

very good

you really feel yourself get better with every new run

[hollow thunder]

I have heard people describe Hades, in modest terms, as the most fun game Supergiant has ever made

[distant night]

that and the huge amount to boons, dialogues and punishments really makes every run feel different

it's definitively universally the most fun out of all the sgg games yes

the other games are also very good just not for everybody

[red tiger]

lol you're asking that in the hades discord channel?

you're going to get some pretty biased answers

[distant night]

but at least they'll get the best look at the gameplay from here since most really invested days into it

[hollow thunder]

Also there's a new landmark here

Zagreus is the first ever Supergiant protagonist... who talks

But I am wondering whether his personality comes through in how he actually controls

[vague gulch]

Really? All the other Supergiant protagonists don't talk.

[distant night]

oh true

[hollow thunder]

Like, does his character translate towards the game's playstyle

[distant night]

i mean the reader in pyre does talk somehow

[hollow thunder]

Because with the Kid, you can kind of get a sense from how he plays the sort of person he is

[distant night]

just not with any voiceacting

[vague gulch]

Anyways, back to my spear run.

[distant night]

have fun!

[vague gulch]

Thank you. I'm having fun with this spear run.

[hollow thunder]

The reader in Pyre is a self-insert protagonist
You're supposed to project yourself into them

So it's not really the same thing

[distant night]

truetrue

[red tiger]

there isnt really a protagonist in pyre though is there

[hollow thunder]

The protagonist in Pyre is you

[red tiger]

everyone is kind of equally a character

[distant night]

but the other two dont really talk

uh you are the reader

[hollow thunder]

You make the choices, you call the shots

[distant night]

even the voice calls you that

[hollow thunder]

It's like a Skyrim game

[red tiger]

I guess

[distant night]

👀

[hollow thunder]

You are whoever you want to be

[red tiger]

there are only 4 total games either way

[hollow thunder]

IDK what the technical term for this is

[distant night]

each with nice success tbf

well done on sggs behalf :)

[red tiger]

eh idk about that

[distant night]

people still like bastion

[red tiger]

bastion has always been pretty popular but most people won't have heard of pyre and transistor

[hollow thunder]

Bastion is not without its faults, but I maintain that it is an excellent game

[tepid condor]

can someone watch me play and help me with my boon choices?

[distant night]

transistor is also pretty liked

[tepid condor]

I've attempted over 66 times and still haven't beaten the game

[hollow thunder]

But that's for #bastion

[red tiger]

liked by people who have played it yes

66 times!?

dang

[distant night]

sure?

[distant night]

dont judge ;-;

[red tiger]

I am going to have to

[tepid condor]

lol its hard

[distant night]

i beat it by 80 ;-;

[vague gulch]

Don't worry man, you'll beat the game one day.

[red tiger]

dang

[tepid condor]

took me to level 35 or so to beat meg

[distant night]

some take more time cause not everybody is accustomed to roguelikes/lites

but yeah if you want some help, dm me i'm down

[vague gulch]

Can confirm, it took me a while to beat a run a first time.

You just have to obtain experience and wisdom.

[red tiger]

Make sure you're upgrading the mirrors @tepid condor

[plush citrus]

don't be afraid to turn on god mode if you need to catch a bit of a break and get some wins on the board 🙂

[tepid condor]

its almost maxed

[distant night]

the first one is really the hardest one, the amount of people failing because of boss anxiety in this game is astonishing but understandable

[red tiger]

hm

[tepid condor]

I refuse to turn on god mode

[vague gulch]

Anyways, final boss time.

I'll be back later to update.

[distant night]

oooh

[tepid condor]

good luck

the poison keeps killing me

[distant night]

spoiler the name for this channel please

[plush citrus]

yeah i have trouble with the poison too, that area is my least fav easily

[vague gulch]

I'm sad.

[distant night]

please spoiler the name for this channel guys

[granite ether]

@vague gulch the final boss fight is considered spoilers in this channel please use spoiler tags

[vague gulch]

My b

[distant night]

||you can spoiler like this, for future reference||

[vague gulch]

Anyways, Bracer and tilt killed me.

Shame too, got my Aid to max charge, was gonna use it to kill the boss too.

[granite ether]

You'll get em next time ^_^

[vague gulch]

Honestly, tbf, I've just been grinding for a while.

Been a while since I've taken the boss seriously, so...

And it was a fun spear set too.

[gaunt glacier]

Play shield with ares special. Athena dash if you want to be really safe. Dash around and throw out special and then run away until doom hits and repeat. Very easy build to get first win

[vague gulch]

Not first win.

Already beaten the final 3 times already.

[opal magnet]

....should that update fix the Orpheus bug?

[lusty crown]

So I'm looking through the fated list and I'm looking at wanton ransacking

I have everything except ||the one between dire soul catcher and dire snakestone||

Where could I find that one?

[spiral dune]

are there any versions of the official wallpapers on the supergiant website but without the characters? just the regular wallpaper background? https://www.supergiantgames.com/games/hades/

[red tiger]

yeah. my background right now is tartarus

downloaded from the link you just posted

or at least I think idk might've been from somewhere else

Must've gotten it frome one of those shady wallpaper websites then

[grand inlet]

Took me forever to beat the last boss too. It really helped me to watch people that are great play and understand the choices they make. Once it clicks you will be unstoppable.

[faint burrow]

im getting 2400 crits with my attacks O_O

damn gambled and lost my shadow slash

[low nexus]

WHY DID I HAVE TO FIGHT 12 Fricking shield enemies with shield on them

love it when they block all of my attacts

attacks*

[faint burrow]

lol

[low nexus]

right bf the boss too

[faint burrow]

I got my theme and im a bit underwhelmed

[spiral dune]

if youre talking about the green one thats the only one with no character on it

everything else has a character

[burnt canopy]

main story ||just completed my 10th run, was expecting some unexpected boss like Nyx or something lol, way easier run without Hades at the end. i was ready to fight any boss too cause i was hella stacked||

[tepid plover]

are boons upgraded with poms worth more?

[green maple]

Iirc, yes

[slim grail]

i'm not 😦 i was down to ONE dd and i was like... "ok here goes nothing"

[burnt canopy]

lol

i even had a +3 dashes

[slim grail]

also mind i ask, why do you think ||it was nyx?||

she was helping us,.. er right?

[burnt canopy]

||no real reason, if anyone was gonna be an unexpected boss id think its one of the strongest characters that we know of like Nyx or Chaos||

[novel wasp]

ngl i just saw the thanskgiving gif of the chef

[prisma wind]

It's very good

[novel wasp]

it would be more funnier if the turkey is now the siding instead

"nah bro this is onion dinner with turkey sides"

[tired sundial]

🦃

[still cloud]

is hades better w controller or keyboard n mouse?

[brisk trail]

mostly a preference thing

controller is recommended but I like kbm way more

[mighty sail]

How do you do spoiler tags?

[inland laurel]

Hello, i have Than's keepsake at rank 2. Is there a cap for the damage bonus? Because it stopped increasing at 24%. Also i am figthing the satyr tunnels

[brisk trail]

no cap. doesn't increase in styx except for the final rooms of each tunnel

[inland laurel]

Thanks

[brisk trail]

||like this|| @sewen

also np

[mighty sail]

||I was positive it was going to be Demeter.||

[burnt canopy]

couldve been that too

[upbeat sigil]

Honestly, I love it

It caught me so off guard

Really hit hard

[bright nymph]

I just had my least satisfying successful escape attempt

I felt super weak the whole time and the synergy was not flowing

[vapid narwhal]

well barely scraping by is something that happens a lot in roguelikes

[radiant estuary]

So question, have any of you ever leveled a boon to 10 or higher before?

[languid plover]

umm, 15

even with Poseidon + Aphro duo that is kinda lame

[radiant estuary]

I didn't even have that duo

[languid plover]

aim for that if you want specific cast or offensive dash build

[bright nymph]

aim for a level 10+ boon if you want a specific cast or offensive dash build?

or aim for the Posedion Aphro duo

[hushed pumice]

I've had a higher than 10 Achilles hunting blades

Meat grinder

[languid plover]

this one

damn, once you go 4th shield, you can't go back to another shields...

any fun build besides Chaos Zeus?

[bright nymph]

Idk how actually viable it is (especially with higher heat) but aspect of zeus with doom on the special is kinda fun

[inland laurel]

@bright nymph I second that

[brisk trail]

What do you guys think about this game getting a sale or is the epic coupon my best bet

i mean 15 dollars is pretty good

[prisma wind]

The game has been regularly going on sale for 20% off

I wouldn't expect anything more than that for quite a while, though, as it did just release in 1.0 3 months ago

[inland laurel]

Well, it is nearly Cristhmas, so you could wait to see it will get a sale

[remote anchor]

Epic coupon is best deal right now but Steam sale might start tonight

[modern torrent]

Hey guys on Switch version - is this patch that just came out several of the PC patches put together? What’s the main change (I already noticed loads of prophecies and quests popping up on my 100+ hour save that I somehow missed triggers for)

[brisk trail]

i pulled the trigger

tbh its 16 bucks ill be okay

the most i could have saved is 5

[prisma wind]

Yes, it is an accumulation of the PC patches

You'd have to read the patch notes in #hades-patch-notes to see what's changed

[narrow hemlock]

i think the holiday sale tends to start like 21st-22nd most years, people are speculating it'll start the 22nd. cards only recently started dropping and those are usually going for a few days prior to the sale

hades was just recently on sale not long ago but i dont see why they'd skip the holiday sale. whether it's the same discount as usual is hard to say

[hazy elk]

hi i was wondering if anyone could give me the most optimal combination for pact of punishment heat level 16? Thanks!

[prisma wind]

I would suggest asking in #h1-builds-and-combat

[hazy elk]

okay will do!

[grizzled junco]

If I have a minor change suggestion for the devs, how would I submit it?

[slim grail]

will chthulu made an appearance in this game?

[lone sinew]

Ofc

[stone cloak]

Is it just me, or is the audio on the main menu louder than everything else in the game?

I don't adjust the audio settings much, but I find the audio on the main menu when you first start the game to be super loud.

[narrow rampart]

Yeah it's quite loud

[wide solar]

I got a question. Is there any character that gives keepsakes after the first time you give them nectar? I have given some characters them but once I tried to see if I would get anything from Hades and he just took it and gave me nothing lol

[tepid plover]

So in announcements, in the switch update. It says, there are more changes in #hades-patch-notes but the last message there is fron dec 1

[tepid plover]

Hades is the only one ||yes he gives you one after you unlock his affinity i believe||

[wide solar]

Alright thank you SleepyDio

[stone cloak]

@narrow rampart Thanks for letting me know it's not just me, since I couldn't find anyone talking about it through Google.

[tepid plover]

If anyone got an answer to my question, pls tag me

[stone cloak]

@tepid plover Probably the last line which says 'Edited'.

[tepid plover]

Yeah but what exactly in the whole message is edited

I tried looking for the test branch notes, but those are already deleted

[stone cloak]

Wouldn't know without the original to compare it to.

Might just be the "Note: You should see v1.36579 in-game once you have the update." line. Wiki says v1.37033 for some reason.

[eternal marlin]

The switch got all the post-launch-updates that are listed in that channel together with the cross-save-update. Test-Branch is something else.

[tepid plover]

So for pc nothing changed?

[eternal marlin]

yes, nothing

[languid plover]

truthfully i haven't tried aspect of Zeus yet, thanks for suggestion~

[tacit ember]

what boons are good on the sword secret aspect

[sterile beacon]

just started hades after months of it sitting in my steam library

6 hours straight

I luv dusa

[languid plover]

Truthfully. It's always Artemis Attack + Artemis Dash. Same for 4th Fist, Spear if you get triple dash attack and rail if you get that shotgun thingie

[languid plover]

If Artemis don't show, any Gods that offer %damage increase is good then

[lone sinew]

fists? what apsect? because Zeus on talos is great

[unique fern]

What does the boiling blood effect do?

[languid plover]

whoops, 4th fist

[lone sinew]

oh I see haven't plaed much with 4th so i might try it

[wide solar]

I don’t know how to get into more weapons dudeee. I only really like the bow lmao

[lone sinew]

you don't need to it's your choice if you are having fun with the bow then play bow

[languid plover]

you can be specialists, the only drawback is that 20% Darkness & Gems bonus

[wide solar]

But I need to play through with other weapons to earn titan blood etc

[lone sinew]

well you don't need to but it would give you some benefits

because you could take all the blood with the bow only for the bow

[true notch]

hey people, anyone know which font is used in the hades text boxes

the names in particular?

[lone sinew]

I have hoarding slash and 3194 gold but I can buy most of the styx shope... I don't know what to do...

[devout glen]

||so uh... I just fought extreme measures Theseus. I knew he would have a chariot, but I really didnt expect THIS||

either way, it was great

by far the best extreme measures boss

well, I didnt fight the final one yet

so yeah

maybe not

||but I doubt it beats Theseus with machine guns||

[thick swallow]

||I have news for you||

[devout glen]

please tell me the final extreme measures are even crazier

[brisk trail]

elysium is the best em for me

it's a big meme

even though asterius is probably the killer of most of my heat pushing

[devout glen]

yeah the alt asterius is crazy

alt theseus may even be weaker than the original, depending on the build

[brisk trail]

no, he def is

[lament holly]

the first time i encountered alt asterius i just- he took CHUNKS outta my health bar

[narrow rampart]

It lowers your damage resistance for a few seconds
