[narrow hemlock]

@pallid stream could you edit please? final boss's identity is a spoiler in this channel

[indigo flint]

Or just say final boss

[versed verge]

I think it's like 2 damage marks one that is arrow damage other that is cast damage

[indigo flint]

That’s broken

[versed verge]

Of course I'm not a vet so I could be slightly off

[indigo flint]

OOOH WHAT IF I USE STYGNIAN SOUL WITH IT?

[pliant sparrow]

ngl i think hidden shield is better for a cast weapon

[hexed shore]

Stygian soul prolly bad with it

You can't load three trippy shots and delete people

[indigo flint]

True

[pliant sparrow]

if u go stygian soul you needa spam chaos gates and hope for rng

[indigo flint]

Also I haven’t unlocked ||aspect of Achilles yet|| so I can’t get hidden shield aspect

Even tho shield is my favorite weapon as of rn

[hexed shore]

Idk if it's worth it even then cause it still takes 3 sec to get back one bloodstone

[pliant sparrow]

aspect of achilles isnt the hidden spear one but ok

[indigo flint]

Oof I mean ||aspect of guan yu||

[pliant sparrow]

the thing is you hope for 2 chaos gates and then you have 3 casts that come back every 3 seconds

[indigo flint]

Nice

[pallid stream]

forgot how to mark spoilers, sorry

[pliant sparrow]

however unless you count on the rng, its better on going aphro casts with infernal

[narrow hemlock]

||text here||

[pallid stream]

thank

||this one?||

cool

I don't know how I feel about ||Chaos Shield|| I really like the way it plays but I feel the properties of using it in close range keeps changing

[raw harbor]

hey guys!

[pallid stream]

hey

[raw harbor]

anyways

[heady robin]

well i mean

the game is solid

[raw harbor]

yep

[heady robin]

theres not one thing i hate

[raw harbor]

also, i never accept aphrodite boons

[heady robin]

lol

begone thot xD

[primal crag]

@raw harbor y

[raw harbor]

thats the only gripe i have. her character design lol

[heady robin]

theres a zeus/aphrodite duo boon thats bonkers

[primal crag]

what's wrong with oversexualized characters

some curves never hurt anyone

[heady robin]

the one that limits your god gauge to 1 bar

[raw harbor]

i dont like

it

[heady robin]

its honestly pretty accurate

[primal crag]

xd

[raw harbor]

yea

[heady robin]

my fav boons are def demeter/zeus/Dionysus

[primal crag]

ares pls

[raw harbor]

mine is demeter zeus and ares

[heady robin]

ares is nice too

[primal crag]

doom on q

opaf

[raw harbor]

those stat effects re awesome

[heady robin]

blade rifts are cool

[raw harbor]

yea

[pliant sparrow]

ares kinda meh imo

[heady robin]

but i prefer zeus' lightning

[raw harbor]

hermes is kinda annoying

[primal crag]

with the missile launcher i mean

[heady robin]

strikes accurately

[pliant sparrow]

doom isnt really a good effect unless you go for ME

[heady robin]

ill tell you about the first time i reached the ||final boss||

i had zeus' call

then i got hermes' boon giving me the 1% per 0,2 sec god gauge regen

and then

[raw harbor]

i had hangover and chill when i defeated the final boss for the first time

[heady robin]

i got zeus/aphrodite duo boon which locked my gauge to one bar, but also gave me another 1% per 0.2 sec passive gauge gain

this was

dominating to say the least

almost got hades too, but back then i didnt have stubborn defiance

[raw harbor]

also rail gun with 3 missles is broken AF

[heady robin]

i need to give the other weapons a try tbh

i stuck with the spear and ive used only that since lel

[pliant sparrow]

u should try cluster rockets if u think this is the case

[raw harbor]

ive only used the gauntlets

[heady robin]

i maxed charons bond first for some reason

idek why

i have no clue why i did that

[raw harbor]

my fav character is cerberus

[void vigil]

@heady robin ||final boss|| is a spoiler in this channel, please edit your message accordingly!

[heady robin]

sure

[void vigil]

i see a lot of people who max out charon first for some reason

[raw harbor]

i do cerberus first

[heady robin]

i mean

you always have a shot to give him nectar

[raw harbor]

i love dogs too much

[heady robin]

with others its a bit dicey

so i guess people just give him the nectar for the heck of it xD

[heady robin]

his keepsake is my fav

[raw harbor]

i only use his kepsake

[heady robin]

sameee

i used to use skelly's a lot but then i got stubborn defiance

[pliant sparrow]

skellys is kinda bad even with death defiance

[heady robin]

i used to die a lot in asphodel cause of

the damn magma

[pliant sparrow]

gives less health than collar

[heady robin]

i used to dash too much lel

so i used that one then

[brisk trail]

Skelly actually seems better with SD imo

Than DDs

[heady robin]

but i got better and stuck with cerberus'

[brisk trail]

It's saved my ass a couple times

[heady robin]

it saved my ass in ||the temple of styx|| one time

[pliant sparrow]

yah but then acorn is the best then

[brisk trail]

Wait, is it better with SD? i'm thinking

6 am brain no work

[heady robin]

lol

its 4 am here

[brisk trail]

Dunno, acorn only works in the final fight

[heady robin]

what does the acorn do again?

[brisk trail]

if you got tooth you might get some use out of it throughout the biome

[pliant sparrow]

yah, but what room are you gonna die twice in

[brisk trail]

talking about high ish heat here ofc

Rooms are just as threatening as boss fights

[heady robin]

i try to equip it before ||the final boss|| if my overall build is weak

[brisk trail]

Esp if you get unlucky with bad rooms

[pliant sparrow]

ive never died more than once in high heat elysium rooms with sd

[heady robin]

one run i got only darkness for 5 rooms straight lmfaoo

[brisk trail]

I see

i didn't try out tooth until i saw bablo taking it

[void vigil]

do you have darkness invested in boiling blood from the mirror? i find it makes cast more important since you do more damage to enemies that have cast in them. also, some casts do pretty significant damage, and the base cast staggers unarmored enemies, which is pretty useful

[heady robin]

i honestly only use the cast if i get a boon from a god that applies to it

[void vigil]

oh... the message i was replying to was deleted

[heady robin]

especially if its dionsyus' or artemis'

but thats one more thing i love about this game

theres just so much variety, you cant find two people with even nearly identical playstyles

[void vigil]

i just had a very good run with trippy shot, but i use base cast all the time

[heady robin]

everyone has their different preferences in regards to weapons, aspects, boons, its amazing to see tbh. just how varied one game can be.

[low nexus]

When you get chaos gate early \

[heady robin]

if you consistently use a lot of chaos boons throughout the run, you actually get really powerful

[pliant sparrow]

meanwhile speedrunning community lol

[heady robin]

i wanna do a run without boons ngl

[heady robin]

lolll

[pliant sparrow]

everyone running the same weapon and build

[heady robin]

i however lack the skill for this. lol

[narrow hemlock]

i mean thats speedrunning in nearly any game though, everyone will take an optimal path. hades isnt any different

[heady robin]

oops meant to reply to this one

[brisk trail]

Naw, just take shackle

[heady robin]

makes me curious, whats the speedrun record for hades?

[pliant sparrow]

6:29 on latest patch

[heady robin]

wow

[pliant sparrow]

thank god for a while hestia was #1 but now balance has been restored to eris

[narrow hemlock]

https://www.speedrun.com/hades

[heady robin]

it takes me 4 minutes just to clear tartarus on average lol

[pliant sparrow]

well i mean it gets a lot faster once you consciously try to speedrun

eg pause during making decisions

[heady robin]

yeah

but speedrunning isnt for me

i just like to take it at a normal pace

30 minute runs

just take in the art. its beautiful

[brisk trail]

That's cool too

[heady robin]

and theres so much stuff im yet to do wow

this is one game i actually may enjoy completing 100%

[brisk trail]

Thankfully none of the achievements are unreasonable

i still need to grind out the max keepsakes one tho

[heady robin]

im grateful for that

[brisk trail]

I'm too lazy for it

[heady robin]

good luck!

im gonna go now

gonna play pyre for a bit

[brisk trail]

Have fun

[heady robin]

just got it today on the sale

[timid compass]

I just saw the picture SGG posted 3 hours ago and SKELLY IS HERE TOO?

Though I'm guessing that's not canon, I doubt anyone has any idea what christmas even is in ancient greece

also they posted a 12 hours video that's just a chimney fire on their YT channel

[indigo flint]

Which is better, aspect of talos, Demeter, or the hidden one?

[brisk trail]

Dem is the most consistent

but all aspects are good, really

[indigo flint]

I like the pull option of talks tho

[distant night]

The Twelfth Day of Christmas probably replaced ancient Greek or Roman religious celebrations, which were associated with the winter sun (the winter solstice on December 22nd).
It covers the days from the eve of Christmas (24 December) to the eve of the Epiphany (5 January).
The main feature of these days are the carols, the masquerades, the actions for the good of the year, etc.
The children went from house to house, holding olives or laurels in their hands, decorated with wool (symbol of health and beauty) and fruits of all kinds, singing for the better happiness and fertility of the earth. Many of the children brought the branch home and hung it on the door, where it remained all year round, something we are used to on May 1st.

[indigo flint]

Aight

[cobalt haven]

personally i prefer talos :]

[indigo flint]

Same it sounded better to me

[distant night]

merry winter solstice!

[pliant sparrow]

for demeter you can have 1k hits

with artemis on special

talos is good too tho

[indigo flint]

Damn

[distant night]

talos is sexier if you're scared to be close with the enemies

[indigo flint]

Nah I don’t mind being up front

But I thought the magnetic pull one would be better for bosses

[pliant sparrow]

its pretty soow

*slow

[indigo flint]

Oof

I may get Demeter then

[pliant sparrow]

its meant for room clearing more than bosses

[distant night]

demeter fists do great damage tho

[pliant sparrow]

while demeter can do bosses and room clearing extremely well

[indigo flint]

Aight getting Demeter

[distant night]

if you test it out on skelly i think you get him down with those fists the fastest

[indigo flint]

Nice

[pliant sparrow]

if you like casts talos is the way to go

[distant night]

scared of closeness: talos
like casts: talos
DAMAGE: DEMETER

[indigo flint]

I don’t use cast much on fists tho

Only if I need to zone for a second

[pliant sparrow]

well thats cuz you arent using talos

[indigo flint]

Or if I have crush shot

[pliant sparrow]

its like you dont use casts on any other aspect in sword unless ur going poseidon

[indigo flint]

True

[low nexus]

i use casts alot if they're epic and level 5

and they do 700 dmg

[indigo flint]

Well that’s different

[low nexus]

it is

[indigo flint]

If I use casts on sword it’s for utility

Like Dionysus cast

[low nexus]

dionysus cast is top tier

[pliant sparrow]

then u neglect ur actual build for some inconsistent damage

[indigo flint]

Ik it’s so broken

[pliant sparrow]

by leveling up casts

[low nexus]

also artemis cast is pretty good

like when i made that joke

[indigo flint]

But that’s for damage

[low nexus]

i had that but with artemis

[indigo flint]

Artemis cast is the worst

IMO

[low nexus]

eh

[indigo flint]

I’m not saying it’s bad

[low nexus]

since its level 5 and epic its the best

[indigo flint]

Just the worst

[pliant sparrow]

ehh id say athena is p. bad

[indigo flint]

Why even level it up that much lol

[low nexus]

it was the only boon i had in tartarus

[indigo flint]

We don’t talk about that cast

Shhhhhh

[low nexus]

and i got 5 poms of power

[pliant sparrow]

its like a worse and slower version of any other deflect boon lul

[indigo flint]

I SAID SHHHHH

We don’t mention it’s name here

[timid compass]

but the fact that it's slower means it has more time to deflect projectiles

[pliant sparrow]

slower to launch out i mean

[timid compass]

wouldn't want a cast that gives you 0.1 sec to reflect a projectile

[indigo flint]

But why use that when you can literally use divine dash or divine slash

It’s basically a waste of a cast slot

[pliant sparrow]

so useless in terms of most projectiles

[indigo flint]

Yep

[timid compass]

what if you don't get divine dash?

[pliant sparrow]

then you reroll

[indigo flint]

Then get divine strike

I mean if u want it

Divine strike is good on shield IMO

[pliant sparrow]

i mean for what project do you actually use athena cast

[distant night]

divine strike only sucks on the ranged weapons

[pliant sparrow]

final boss skulls are way too fast

[low nexus]

like spear

[timid compass]

yeah
it's good on most weapons
and then there's bow

[distant night]

getting the duo :)))))))))

[indigo flint]

It’s not good on railgun either

[pliant sparrow]

which duo?

[timid compass]

at least rail doesn't make you wait 1 sec between each atk

[indigo flint]

Divine strike is only good on sword shield gauntlets and sometimes spear depending on your build

[low nexus]

spear is a ranged weapon

[distant night]

i think the zeus athena one

[pliant sparrow]

oh wait parting shot

[timid compass]

mid ranged

[pliant sparrow]

or the cast thing

[distant night]

i dont remember cause i never tried to get it again :D

[pliant sparrow]

hm

[indigo flint]

Divine strike is actually pretty good if your doing a charged spear attack build

But I like Poseidon’s strike better for that

[low nexus]

the game is not letting me get the attack boon and im close to styx

[distant night]

or serrated point 😩 👌

[timid compass]

how does divine cast works with ||beowulf||?

[pliant sparrow]

everything gets turned into flares

[distant night]

it is so weird

[pliant sparrow]

"Your Cast damages foes around you, and can Deflect."

so its basically useless cuz when are you gonna time your big hit with something that needs deflection

[distant night]

Lightning Phalanx

i hated trying to get that duo for the prophecy so. much.

[tulip geyser]

just bought Hades! Ahh so excited

[low nexus]

cool!

youll get hooked fast

[distant night]

welcome to the game, have fun and may the gods grant you swift and safe victories <3

[low nexus]

then you will see you already have 36 hours on it

[cobalt haven]

nice!! have fun :D

[tulip geyser]

what's the difference between the one from Epic vs Steam?

[indigo flint]

What’s a good build for aspect of nemesis?

[low nexus]

idk

[tulip geyser]

i bought it on Epic due to the coupons

[pliant sparrow]

none

[distant night]

the egs takes a smaller cut i think

[indigo flint]

I’m thinking Artemis but I may be wrong

[distant night]

but else not different

[pliant sparrow]

nah i thought steam changed policies for smaller companies

so it might be the same now

[distant night]

aphro attack, artemis/ares special

[indigo flint]

Steam has epic trading cards

[distant night]

:oooo when???

[pliant sparrow]

artemis dash strike, edge

[tulip geyser]

ahh i see. Okay wanted to make sure. It was exclusive to EGS initially? shows it was out since 201

2018*

[indigo flint]

Thanks

[indigo flint]

And thanks

[distant night]

nope it was just in early access

[pliant sparrow]

oh wait nvm that was apple not steam

[distant night]

D:::

[pliant sparrow]

steam has achievements tho

and trading cards

[glacial star]

to the dev responsible for making armored chariots, why are you so sadistic

[tulip geyser]

ah got you! thanks for confirming! Since the picture on Epic shows V1.0 hence the confirmation

appreciate the answers!

I believe Epic added achievements? I've been getting them for Godfall and Death stranding (probs devs opt in for that?)

I may be wrong of course

[low nexus]

tiny chariots with shield are scary

[prisma wind]

Shift+F3 in Epic version of Hades to view cheevos

[pliant sparrow]

hm yah they started adding in achievements this year on epic but its still limited i think

[granite ether]

Specifically in game

[tulip geyser]

^ thanks for confirming that

[low nexus]

could someone help me

[distant night]

did i pay for the steam badges for hades? heck yeah i did

[glacial star]

big chariots with shields are scarier

[prisma wind]

Yeah, they aren't very obvious about it, but they've been there on EGS since Steam also got achievements

[distant night]

whatsup

[low nexus]

i need an attack boon but im also low on health and i got demeter what should i do

rare for attack but health is epic

[distant night]

get the health

[low nexus]

alright thanks

[distant night]

it'll come back around later :D

[low nexus]

im in elysium

[cobalt haven]

i just....want dio trading card

[low nexus]

thats the problem

[pliant sparrow]

what weapon?

[low nexus]

spear

[pliant sparrow]

which one

[low nexus]

normal lvl 4

[cobalt haven]

is it an encounter or the final shop for elysium?

[paper thicket]

Hol up,
Dio trading card?

Oh Dionysus.
I was thinking DIO Dio, oops

[low nexus]

2nd shop you see is always last one

[cobalt haven]

dio in hades 😳

[brisk trail]

Howdy!

[low nexus]

that would be best crossover

[brisk trail]

Joined cuz I’m thinking of buying hades on my switch👀

[pliant sparrow]

get it

[low nexus]

get it

[paper thicket]

Would that be a Hades/JoJo crossover or Hades getting licensed music from DIO?

Going through the early chambers to Holy Diver would make repeat runs through there much more invigorating.

[pliant sparrow]

theres an easter egg in game to do this

step 1) turn off volume in game

step 2) open spotify

step 3) play music

[low nexus]

WHAT

[raw harbor]

I DID ITTTTT

I BEAT THE FINAL BOSS AGAINNNNN

YESSSSS

[distant night]

:OOO

gg!

[raw harbor]

TY

[cobalt haven]

congrats!

[timid compass]

I was looking at the "collectable cards" thing on steam and decided to check the ones for Hades
and the characters shown on them mostly make sense, they're important story characters like zag, hades, nyx, than, meg, achilles (and also dusa which isn't really important to the story but )and then the other cards are olympus gods and like I understand zeus, he's the king of olympus and all, Poseidon makes sense too because he's your uncle, I guess?
but then the last one is artemis, and I'm like why? I'm not disappointed because I'm a big simp for artemis but they could've picked athena, she's literally the first god you meet!

[low nexus]

artemis cat would i rather go for the|| erebus gate|| athena or get the encounter in elysium im missing one death defiance

[pliant sparrow]

they want god cards which people use more than one boon of 😆

[low nexus]

too late i already decided

[distant night]

oh what

sorry i didnt see D:

[distant night]

honestly most people are artemis simps and her visual design is really something to be extremly proud of in hades, since it really differs from any other portrayal of the hunter goddess

[timid compass]

I looked up artemis on google images to see how long I would have to scroll before seeing artemis from hades and I'm like
What in the world is an artemis fowl

[granite ether]

A book series

[distant night]

now also in cinemas but very badly done?

[granite ether]

Possibly, I haven't payed any attention to the movie adaptations

[timid compass]

I had to go past the "more results" button before seeing a single Hades-related picture of artemis

HOWEVER when I look up Hades there's ton of pictures of the actual game

[distant night]

no more disney hades? D:

[timid compass]

I know, shocking, right?

[distant night]

the discord gifs are still riddled with him

but i appreciate gems like

https://tenor.com/view/hades-game-hypnos-deal-with-it-deal-gif-18879426

[timid compass]

sleemp

[low nexus]

i forget but why does some people get to post images but some pll cant

[brisk trail]

You cant directly post

[distant night]

we dont post images but links

[low nexus]

ah

[distant night]

you can upload your images to imgur and paste the links

[timid compass]

Damn, theseus gets a hades related picture in only the first 10 results
but artemis doesn't get one in 100+ pics

so unfair

[distant night]

discord is smart enough to not show the links but the picture immediately

[low nexus]

theseus sucks

[distant night]

theseus has gotten popular with the shippers

[low nexus]

you can still do /tenor too

WHY

[distant night]

why what

[brisk trail]

Oh wow, 60 heat has been done

[prisma wind]

Yup, everyone congratulate Tailesque on that feat

[timid compass]

Wait, hydra is also a city?

[brisk trail]

Tail took the crown from himself

👑

[distant night]

lol

[low nexus]

i hope i can defeat the final boss in 16|| heat|| because i lost 6 times alreadu

[brisk trail]

What pact ya taking

[timid compass]

I was expecting "bone hydra" to only give me hades related results
turns out it's also a magic: the gathering card

[brisk trail]

And on what aspect

[pliant sparrow]

at 16 heat the final boss should be pretty much the same as no heat

[brisk trail]

Mmm yes mtg

You might be taking some of the harder pacts

[timid compass]

AYYY
Cerberus showed up in the first 15 results
good boi

[brisk trail]

Or pacts that don't fit well with your weapon

[low nexus]

2nd stage

0_0

[pliant sparrow]

what pacts r u using?

at 16 heat, you should be using pacts that dont impact the final boss at all

[low nexus]

ill tell after this

yeah

[brisk trail]

Gl

That might be da run

[low nexus]

since im trash

thats the problem

[brisk trail]

Retrash is a very good player

I dont know why i said that

Finger guns?

[low nexus]

I GOT HIM WITH 3 health without death defiences

poggg

[pliant sparrow]

nice

[brisk trail]

Poggers

[low nexus]

athenas aid carried

[brisk trail]

Ah, you took CP1

[timid compass]

I just remembered I had the "house of hades yule log" video running
I seemed like it's been an hour but it's only really been 30 minutes

[pliant sparrow]

em3 too thats pretty impressive ngl

[void ginkgo]

what's the build you are surprised you beat the end boss with?

I think one of them for me was at about heat 7, I was tryign to see the most level I could get with one of my abilities, (level 19). I had aphrodite attack on a bow, and won

[pliant sparrow]

whats bad about that?

[brisk trail]

How much attack bonus is that? o:

[void ginkgo]

not sure

[brisk trail]

Sounds like it was a ton, i wanna do that too

Beeg number

i don't think i've ever pommed to level 10 even

For sum reason

[void ginkgo]

ya did pretty goo dnumbers

no special , cast , dash or call

+217%

[brisk trail]

Sounds bonkers

[low nexus]

what is a ||companion || i just got one

[brisk trail]

You can use it to help you in fights

[low nexus]

cool

[distant night]

it's basically a ||summoning tool||

[manic bobcat]

They are great :D which one do you have?

[low nexus]

meg

[manic bobcat]

It's a great one starting out :D That's my first one, too.

[low nexus]

cool

[tepid condor]

Why is there no hades voice chat

[brisk trail]

Probably bc that'd be extra stuff to moderate

[low nexus]

yeah

sucks tho

[granite ether]

voice chats have been asked for in the past and the long and short of it is, they can't be moderated and would require a 24/7 mod team, so it's better off that the server doesn't have one (imo)

[distant night]

totally understandable

having a voice chat for such a big server would be hell to moderate

[low nexus]

yeah

it sucks but its unreasonable

i just got ||guan yu|| spear and i think its just a glass cannon

[paper thicket]

How to deal with ||Minotaur charge||?

Both times I've fought him, both times was how he got me.

[distant night]

dash into obstacles

[low nexus]

i hate that move

[distant night]

or lead him to the walls and then dash through him

[low nexus]

so annoying

[distant night]

imagine he is a really big un-stunable chariot

[paper thicket]

Luck keeps sending me into that fight with no health, so it's basically a one shot for me.

[low nexus]

shield chariot but with 10x health

[distant night]

may i ask how you usually lose your health?

[paper thicket]

panic

[low nexus]

prob traps

[distant night]

he only has a health of 12k

[paper thicket]

And the Hydra

[distant night]

oh you might wanna turn off the music and play some calming tunes for now
it really helps with the encounter anxiety

[distant night]

what about the hydra?

[low nexus]

or just dont turn it off

i mean just turn if off completelu

i ment that

[distant night]

the music in encounters really triggers fight or flight which is kinda scary for easily panicked people
i tend to play "emotional oranges all that" for me to chill out

[low nexus]

i just turn the music off completely

[paper thicket]

A. But the OST is pretty banging and puts me in the zone. Once I escape for the first time, I'm buying the soundtrack.
B. The sheer amount of stuff going on in that fight makes my eyes spin. Gotta watch out for the projectiles and his headbashes just offscreen, oh now he's invul, time to deal with the mini hydras and the dozens of mini bones coming in. Both times I fought Hydra so far, I got by with a sliver of health left. First time, 2 health. This most recent run, 22.

[manic bobcat]

So by my regression, the next time would be 222 health, which is a lot. Easy.

[distant night]

the OST is banging yes, but if you suffer through getting more panicky you might want to shut it off for a few runs before coming back to it

[winter harbor]

EM2 hydra is either really easy or really hard

[distant night]

for the hydra make use of the huge amount of space you have

[low nexus]

i have|| guan yu|| aspect of spear and i have 200 health wtf

[distant night]

hax o.o :3

[winter harbor]

I like going after multiple heads at once

[brisk trail]

Try not to rush the fight, take it slowly if all the onscreen action is too much

[distant night]

yeah the hydra is pretty slow if you really take everything in calmly

[brisk trail]

The real boss in the EM2 fight is lava.

[distant night]

whimpers in HS

[brisk trail]

Forgets i have hs on

Yes

[paper thicket]

I noticed that, especially since both fights I went in with the spear, but my positioning is way off in terms of my dash. Very afraid the lava'll catch me instead.

[distant night]

if you're playing on kbm you might wanna turn off "dash to mouse" for spear

then you can use the obstacles and dash yourself against them for more safety

[low nexus]

when i first got to elysium i kept dying to traps

[paper thicket]

It's off by default, right?
Haven't touched that setting since installing.

[winter harbor]

It took me ages to finish the prophecy because of HS

[distant night]

those traps are disgusting tbf, especiallly those hidden by the borders that sometimes just stab the air in front of them

[distant night]

should be, yes

[low nexus]

the spear one for me especially

[distant night]

train on skelly to perfect your dash attack via dashing away from him but attacking into him

your reach with spear dash is really nice so you should be getting out of the hydra lunge and headbang easier

[low nexus]

skelly hardest enemy in the game

[distant night]

also the hydra only has 3 attacks: lunge then headbang then special, repeat

[paper thicket]

Yet my brain's System 1 keeps kicking in, saying "MASH" and I poke at it off-screen, which makes it hard to discern what it's doing.

[brisk trail]

You mash you lose

[low nexus]

mash then run away

thats my strat

[brisk trail]

Brainless mashing, anyway

[paper thicket]

I play fighting games, I should know this all too well.

[distant night]

zag: ||you smash you laugh|| 👀

probably deserved it

anyways try to calm your inner "MASH" demon and really focus on what baby hydra is doing

[astral swift]

I...I just stepped into a Trial: Aphro vs. Demeter

[distant night]

and for asterius bashing: lotsa dashing

[astral swift]

I'm alive ;-; jeez those vortexes get big

[hexed shore]

ive learnt to survive against demeter

[distant night]

she is still scary ;-;

i hate when she's helping theseus ;-;

[hexed shore]

you cant even dash out of it

[astral swift]

Ug it's the worst when she helps him

[hexed shore]

I always try to keep artemis's aid so i can one shot theseus as soon as he calls

[distant night]

great strat

it's so satisfying

[tender oxide]

When you have to chose between Artemis and Demeter which one is worse?

[hexed shore]

artemis is ez

only hard ones in order are demeter, aphro, dionysus, poseidon

[tender oxide]

I actually find aphro’s really easy to dodge

[hexed shore]

for aphro is harder than demeter

it always sneaks up on me

[distant night]

dio is easy to dodge 🤔

[tender oxide]

The easiest one by far is Athena

[weak thorn]

Dionysus is hardest for me

[distant night]

agreed

[hexed shore]

dio isnt easy to dodge but he doesnt interrupt you so you can quickly finish the room

[weak thorn]

it gets free damage so often its annoying

[distant night]

he doesnt force you to move most of the time

i rarely had his holes spawn right under me, just dont step on them

[hexed shore]

and the pools are really small so you can easily dash to get away even if you get caught

getting caught by one of the other three means you're going to take a whole ton of damage

[weak thorn]

last 2 times i've had to deal with it they kept spawning under me lol was really annoying

[hexed shore]

especially demeter who stun locks you too

[distant night]

demeter's doesnt even do that much damage, it is just pure anxiety

[hexed shore]

it makes me panic so hard

and then it keeps growing while chilling me to i cant even get out

[tender oxide]

The worst thing about Demeter’s is that it doesn’t give an indication that it’s going to spawn and if you don’t realize it’s there and react quickly enough it’s hard to get out

[hexed shore]

for demeter trails i stop looking at the enemy and focus on the vortexes alone

same for aphro

[winter harbor]

Aphro can be hard to track because of how the arrow blends in

[fading gazelle]

I just always pick Artemis

[hexed shore]

doesnt help that whenever i have to face aphro its in elysium

i always pick artemis unless she's against aphro

gotta simp right

[fading gazelle]

Begone

[distant night]

ohh another artemis fan why hello

[fading gazelle]

I believe we've met

[distant night]

i have no idea because i suck at names

[fading gazelle]

lmao fair enough

[distant night]

but good to know, hello again anyways :D

[paper thicket]

Wonder how many Artemis fans are in here?

I'm saving the for her, but I've not been getting much luck finding her.
And this current run, when I did, I instinctively mashed E to go for the boon without giving the nectar.

And now I've got 5 of them.

[carmine ravine]

arty is indeed best girl

[distant night]

i think i remember about 5 fans with artemis in their nick/on their pfp

but everything else is a mystery and i cant wait to meet more :D

[paper thicket]

Make that six.

[distant night]

oki c: nice to meet yall

[hexed shore]

Think arty and dio are the most popular gods

[distant night]

they are the most humane and strong in their own ways, so it's very understandable lol

[fading gazelle]

Artemis is just fun to talk to

[paper thicket]

I really want to mention P2 in my nickname but it's too long

[distant night]

she has character that goes beyond war and horny

[hexed shore]

Athena is really cool but no one talks about her

[paper thicket]

Also I like bows.
Archery is sick.

[hexed shore]

Whose character is horny

[distant night]

she is rather cold and most are thrown off by her visual design from what i've seen

[fading gazelle]

I don't think there is a single god that doesn't go untalked about here

[distant night]

zeus.

[paper thicket]

Thank you Yukari Takeba

[fading gazelle]

True

[hexed shore]

Tbf nobody likes Zeus

Nobody hates ares though

[distant night]

thats the point.

[fading gazelle]

Ayyyyyyyyyy

[paper thicket]

Isn't there a ghost quote in the main hall that mentions Aphrodite and says their death was from dehydration?

[fading gazelle]

Mitsuru best girl though

[distant night]

there arent tht many people tho who like him, more are scared of his bloodlusting image

[strange adder]

oh yea ive seen that

[paper thicket]

All the P3 girls are good.

[hexed shore]

Also Athena is really nice if you gift her

[strange adder]

it's so funny too

[fading gazelle]

True

[distant night]

yes, iconic

died of thirst

[fading gazelle]

Lmao, I know a mod that simply loves Ares

[astral swift]

they don't appreciate being called a simp btw

[strange adder]

one of the mods is called "average dionysus enjoyer"

[hexed shore]

She's always talking about getting you out of there so she's like too focused on the task to be nice but where ever you gift her she's suddenly really nice like oh huh, well um remember to stay focused on getting out of there yea?

[distant night]

if you mean tatz, they asked me to stop calling them s* but else yes their ares love is so nice

[paper thicket]

I do wonder is portrait mods are a thing?
My SMT-fueled brain keeps autocorrecting these myths to their SMT counter parts.

[distant night]

i miss tatz ,_,

[paper thicket]

Sans Ares.
He gets autocorrected to Ares Fire Emblem. I like him a lot.

[manic bobcat]

tatz you have a fan

[weak thorn]

im confused as to how your character can actually gift stuff the gods, since its established that the messages that you find from the gods are just simply messages that they've sent there and zag can't talk back to them

[distant night]

fox shush ;-;

tatz is just really enjoyable to talk to and listen to about ares ;-;

[hexed shore]

When you send material items via the boons it seems that gods can briefly hear you

[distant night]

the mods are great, sue me for liking when they pop by

[hexed shore]

So those long thank you messages from zag are actually heard by them

It's like sending a prayer to the gods

[astral swift]

You gotta pay the fine now

[hexed shore]

The way the mortals do

[astral swift]

Haha Zagreus sending nectar is like a mosquito buzzing in their ear

Except it drops alcohol

[paper thicket]

-Mr. Mosquito intensifies-

[distant night]

probably with the power of even accepting the messages "in the name of hades!"?

[hexed shore]

I do hate the idea that I'm betraying a few of them

[weak thorn]

[distant night]

the realm just chucks a bottle of nectar at them

[weak thorn]

lol

[hexed shore]

Like Artemis, dio, Athena, aphro and poseidon

[astral swift]

A single black hole appears and nectar rolls out

[distant night]

"oh it was signed by the call of hades, it must be delivered instandly but we have no god-mail.... chucks up to olympus"

[hexed shore]

They seem to genuinely want to help you while the rest kind of don't care

[paper thicket]

Hermes: "Am I a joke to you?"

[rapid forum]

I just like when you do trial of the god and you use the call of said god, zag would apologize to them

[low nexus]

got fish in ||greece|| second time in a row

[distant night]

when you get the ultimate call they seem so mad ;-;

[low nexus]

AND I MISSED IT

[hexed shore]

I've never gotten a trial long enough to ult

[distant night]

especially artemis ;-;

[low nexus]

😦

[distant night]

i did it for the achievement

and she was so PISSED i felt ultra bad

[distant night]

for the achievement just get a trial in elysium and dont kill the little ghost eyes

[weak thorn]

||dem's call has literally 0 chill||

[distant night]

i always forget their description

[hexed shore]

I really like how ares doesn't care one way or another, as long as someone is dying we can keep going forever

[distant night]

bloodlusting image

has anybody seen the fanfic about zag and the bloodvile?

it is scary

probably squeezed a thugtear out for it

[rapid forum]

Ares always like "oh I think there was a mistake, oh well, here are goons for you. Kill them for my entertainment"

[distant night]

goons

i used to think that was a cool word for guns

[rapid forum]

Lol

[gusty swift]

Way to go, Supergiant! 😄 https://www.destructoid.com/stories/destructoid-s-award-for-overall-best-game-of-2020-goes-to--614228.phtml

[distant night]

AWH YEAH

[fading gazelle]

Lessgoo

[distant night]

3/5 baby

[fading gazelle]

This is retribution for the game awards

[distant night]

yes

[gusty swift]

PS4/PS5 GoTY was Tsushima. Proving some people still have good taste. 😄

[distant night]

really???? gg!

[gusty swift]

Yep. Hades took best overall though. 😄

And it sure as hell earned it.

[fading gazelle]

'hell'

[gusty swift]

Roguelites aren't even my favorite game genre, but Hades is one I keep coming back to. That says something.

Though I think part of that is because of the mentality Hades has vs other big name roguelites like Binding of Isaac.

[distant night]

it really is a dating sim visual novel house decorator fishing sim with a tinge of roguelite

[fading gazelle]

Just a "tinge"

[gusty swift]

Hades gives you a fair shot at everything for the most part. Binding of Isaac can be like: "Oh hey, have a map with a bunch of stuff you can't get because WE AREN'T GIVING YOU A SINGLE BOMB.'

[low nexus]

hades is a dating sim what are you talking about

[distant night]

did i stutter.

[gusty swift]

But seriously, congrats, everybody at Supergiant. 😄

[native wave]

just saw Hades mentioned in the newest Entertainment Weekly

👍

[manic bobcat]

We are big, guys. I tell you, we are big.

[brisk trail]

not big

HUGE

[hexed shore]

YUUUUGE

i had one job NotLikeThis

[manic bobcat]

rip

[hexed shore]

fox might be my spirit animal with all the your mom jokes

[manic bobcat]

I did that once lol. And the dude walks into it xD

[hexed shore]

I've seen you do it atleast twice!

[manic bobcat]

shhh

Recently*

[tulip stone]

Hades is seriously racking up the awards

[hexed shore]

it makes me feel really warm and happy inside seeing hades be the underdog

[manic bobcat]

Yeah. I said this before but somehow we beat Doom Eternal to multiple Best Action. A surprise to be sure.

[hexed shore]

yea ngl I was not expecting to come out on top of doom

[fading gazelle]

I wasn't expecting Doom to get nothing

Like wtf

[hexed shore]

it was a pretty good game right?

[tulip geyser]

This game feels like a netflix show. Every time i say.. okay last run.. i end up doing 20 more lmao

[fading gazelle]

It was amazing

[paper thicket]

Eternal? Yeah.

[fading gazelle]

It was my second runner up for soundtrack as well

[hexed shore]

I relate so hard to this

[weak thorn]

dude its 2:30 am and im contemplating doing another run instead of going to bed...

[hexed shore]

just one more bow run

5 hours later with rail in hand

[distant night]

ohh a timezone neighbor

[hexed shore]

europeans?

[granite ether]

just one more run several one more runs later

[hexed shore]

let me guess, uk?

[distant night]

aye

[tulip geyser]

Hahaha it's crazy how addicting this game is.

[distant night]

no

[hexed shore]

rip

well i tried

[distant night]

wish english were my first language D:

[hexed shore]

same

[paper thicket]

That's the thing with rogue-likes. Every run brings something new to the table, so you keep going "Maybe this run will be good..."

[hexed shore]

though it practically is, i spend more time talking to people online in english than irl

[paper thicket]

Then suddenly you're on your 12th run of the day.

[tulip geyser]

I've been experimenting so much that I'm like.. okay screw this game, i got this. Easy. One run and I'll finish it... 5 hours later... ahhh Hades, let me out please.

[distant night]

same

it's so awkward to not chat in english

[paper thicket]

I had a similar scenario with Enter the Gungeon.

[hexed shore]

online people are nice, no mods irl

[distant night]

exactly

[weak thorn]

what country you from? fellow european

[manic bobcat]

second language gang :D

[paper thicket]

That game was so good, I kept going "Maybe this time I'll make it to the end" and made an effort to play it once a day minimum.

[distant night]

being forced to mod your interactions yourself is hard

third language gang ;-;

[tulip geyser]

Hahaha same here. I keep bumping into meg and I'm like ugh dammit here i go again

[sweet blaze]

I don't know if this is the common experience, but I was only able to snag my first victory against (FINAL BOSS SPOILER) ||Hades|| after being able to beat ||Theseus|| with some amount of consistency
This game is fantastic, and immensely satisfying to hit those milestones that seemed impossible several runs ago

[hexed shore]

second language for me, technically it should be like 4th or 5th but i was too lazy to learn languages irl

[distant night]

germany

[manic bobcat]

now you are just flexing just kd being a polyglot is great.

[distant night]

my parents come from russia so i am bilingual

it's a pain

my brain doesnt remember what language to think in

[weak thorn]

imagine not having alsace and lorraine ;) 🇫🇷 gang

[brisk trail]

relatable

forgetting how to say a thing in one language

[distant night]

i have been to alsace multiple times lol

[hexed shore]

ofc im flexing how often do you get to talk about how many languages youre supposed to know to survive in your country

[distant night]

france is literally neighbor gang

[weak thorn]

(though technically im not even french gang (i just live here))

[manic bobcat]

Imagine counting 99 as 20 x 4 + 10 + 9

[brisk trail]

??????????????

[weak thorn]

ackshuallly

[brisk trail]

i don't know what numbers are

[weak thorn]

its 4x20 + 10 + 9

[brisk trail]

420

[manic bobcat]

lmao

[hexed shore]

go further add some powers in there

[brisk trail]

blaze it

[distant night]

imagine writing 11 letters and reading 4

[manic bobcat]

^

[sweet blaze]

I write 99 as 10^1.996

[distant night]

louis the 11th is the bane of french history and language classes

i think it was the 11th........

[manic bobcat]

Yeah, that worked out great didn't it

[weak thorn]

german calling me out on numbers taking a long time to write

[distant night]

?

80 is literally 8 10s

[hexed shore]

fox imma stop you right there

[weak thorn]

ah yes but im talking about the 1000+ numbers, ends up being stupid long to write

[distant night]

and if i write "aux, eau, au, o..." it is all pronounced the same

[manic bobcat]

sorry

[sweet blaze]

there are a lot of different numbers

[distant night]

you write 11 letters, forget 6, read 4 aloud

[weak thorn]

"pear pair pare"

[brisk trail]

just write them in numerical form

4head

[manic bobcat]

ok folks wrap it up before the mods come

[brisk trail]

oh wait

[distant night]

hades is great

[brisk trail]

people speak

[weak thorn]

hades good

[brisk trail]

hades is nice

i like it

[hexed shore]

grease is nice

[brisk trail]

i like it a lot

[weak thorn]

deserves many awards

[brisk trail]

it's the bestest

in my heart

[weak thorn]

im addicted

apollo/hera/hestia when

[sweet blaze]

have you guys heard about this awesome game that came out earlier this year
It's called Hades, I recommend it

[distant night]

yeah, it came out of the closet so nicely

[hexed shore]

while you're at it would you like to join the church of aphrodite?

[distant night]

loved and accepted by everybody

[brisk trail]

searching #dionysus on twt and finding kpop drama

i just want a new dp

[distant night]

ugh

[weak thorn]

sorry im a member of the church of artemis, she's my asexual icon

[hexed shore]

try searchin thionysus

[manic bobcat]

I hate that I can't make the Small Indie game, hidden gem joke with Hades

Because it literally is a small indie game

[distant night]

find other jokes

[hexed shore]

its not about the size of the indie game fox, its the technique

[brisk trail]

stop right there

[manic bobcat]

You are right. Need new material

[paper thicket]

Get better material

[brisk trail]

mods.

[distant night]

oh no

[brisk trail]

bonkbonkbonkbonkbonk

[distant night]

the thighs are crushing this conversation

[brisk trail]

i wish that were me

[distant night]

majestic thighs

[paper thicket]

Which moreso? The thighs or the alcoholism?

[hexed shore]

one might call the majesthicc

/j

[distant night]

Myth ily for that comment alone

take my nectar

[hexed shore]

[distant night]

if i werent such a artemis hoe i'd change my nick

[manic bobcat]

don't you dare

[distant night]

butttttt the hunter goddess got my heart

why not fox

you also yeeted the swimswims from your nick

[manic bobcat]

swim swims is temporary, Artemis is eternal.

[distant night]

goddamnit it even makes sense

[brisk trail]

i can't imagine not being dio's thighs

[distant night]

oh true you were ||lotus|| before

it's been a while, didnt i make you acquainted with shadebro?

[brisk trail]

yes

i just realized i still keep forgetting to stop for him

oops

[tulip geyser]

GUYSSSSS I DID IT!!!!! TRY NUMBER 7 KILLED MEG HELL YEAH

[brisk trail]

yessir

[quaint wind]

congrats!

[distant night]

GG

[brisk trail]

[distant night]

oh goddess a mod spawned time to dip

[tulip geyser]

Holy, i was about to cry. I had 10hp left 😅

[brisk trail]

it's okay, we're on-topic

[distant night]

but for how long

[manic bobcat]

let's gooo

[brisk trail]

before you know it you'll be smashing meg to bits

[distant night]

kind of a sad thought because meg

but yeah, get the furies

[weak thorn]

Im still alsp after an answer as to why fiery chariots sound like cats btw

[tulip geyser]

I feel like i was only able to defeat meg with the sword (stygian blade)

[distant night]

cause lions

somebody said something about lions in mythology once

i dont remember the exact quote

[weak thorn]

[distant night]

brb googling this

[weak thorn]

Also dont worry you'll get used to meg soon @tulip geyser you got this

[quaint wind]

once you get meg's patterns down she becomes pretty managable

it's a lot of dashing

[distant night]

the chariots are called nemean chariots, and the flame wheels are basically their babes and

The Nemean Lion was a legendary creature in Greek mythology that ravaged the area of Nemea. Its fur was impenetrable by the weapons of humans and hence, was unstoppable.

[weak thorn]

Ooooooo

[tulip geyser]

Yeah lots of dashing. To be honest, I'm still trying to get a hang of these boon powers and etc, but I'm starting to slowly understand how they work

[distant night]

i remember this mythos but f the names

[manic bobcat]

TIL

[brisk trail]

whaaaaaaat

[weak thorn]

I knew about the nemean lion so that makes sense

[distant night]

same but nemean

[brisk trail]

so are they shades

[distant night]

they are daddy daed's mechanical kittens

since he also gave a chariot to ||theseus|| and keeps repairing it

so he just had a huge cat wish but the only cats that are anyhow great enough to end up in the underworld was lion, so he copied them into chariots

my headcanon for life now

[distant night]

brUUUUUUH

It was considered to be the child of Typhon and Echidna, father and mother of all monsters. Other accounts mention Zeus and Selene as its parents.
zeus f-ed up, also dio's mom is named semele and i might have thought they are the same

[manic bobcat]

Cerberus and Lernie are siblings according to mythology

[distant night]

aww

little monster babies

i bet cerby really liked le bone aspect of the bone hydra

[weak thorn]

I mean the hydra wouldn't have been a bone hydra until after Heracles slayed it

[distant night]

yes

[tulip geyser]

Okayyy i made it far enough after defeating meg to get to hydra and literally almost kill it

[granite ether]

ayy awesome stuff mate

[tulip geyser]

So wait, if i die... do i have to defeat meg again?

[distant night]

yes

[manic bobcat]

yes

[distant night]

you will restart in tartarus every time

[tulip geyser]

Ohhh sweet lord have mercy on me 😅

[paper thicket]

You're sent all the way back home every time

[manic bobcat]

Have you played any roguelites before?

[granite ether]

you get sent home the painful way

[tulip geyser]

Ummm deadcells on switch for an hour... haha

[paper thicket]

Given enough attempts and you'll learn her pattern.

[burnt breach]

@graceful glen

[distant night]

yeah, it's pretty good to get into

[granite ether]

if you want to ever ask for tips and tricks especially early on #h1-for-new-players is a good channel for that ^_^

[distant night]

dont sweat it if you dont come far immediately!

[paper thicket]

If you like the roguelike aspect of Hades, maybe try The Binding of Isaac or Risk or Rain.

[tulip geyser]

Got it thank you!

[graceful glen]

how to install this mod?

[queen summit]

I am currently in what I consider the endgame but I can't seem to be able to defeat ||hades||

[burnt breach]

I haven't updated Pony Qol with this feature yet @graceful glen , still playing around with it

[queen summit]

Am I missing something?

[distant night]

please spoiler the name; what do you mean with endgame in your case?

[queen summit]

Sorry mb

And I mean I get to the final fight almost every run

[distant night]

and you never get through it?

[queen summit]

Nope

[distant night]

what is your biggest issue?surviving or doing damage?

[queen summit]

Surviving

I do ok damage

[distant night]

try maybe an athena focused run

[queen summit]

I already dop

Do*

[distant night]

her legendary boon is insane

[queen summit]

I try to get the dash at least always

And combo it with whatever Attack boon I can get

I use the fists btw

[weak thorn]

How far do you get in the fight

[queen summit]

The farthest I've gotten is about a 10th of his health bar ||before he revives||

At which point I just can't seem to keep up

[weak thorn]

Chances are you're being a might be being a bit greedy with the punches and thats why you're taking too much damage^

[queen summit]

Bcs I've taken too much of a beating

Most likely yeah

I'm subpar at best with the other weapons

[weak thorn]

Try and get more dodges with hermes maybe so you can get out of range easier

[queen summit]

I had a run where I had 5

[paper thicket]

||Can't believe Hades takes cues from Gill from Street Fighter||

[queen summit]

That was the one I got to a 10th of his healthbar

[cold gate]

||Hades but instead of a big lance guy he is a tiny woman wearing a shawl and using a scythe 😳 ||

[distant night]

if you prefer the fists you might want to try getting the Colossus Knuckle hammer

[queen summit]

Can I post an image link here?

[distant night]

yes

[queen summit]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/760865872574808084/791474120993800232/unknown.png

This was the run

[brisk trail]

Honestly I play gauntlets the best way I get through it is playing safe the first half and just purely focusing on offense in the 2nd

[cold gate]

haha redacted

[distant night]

since fists force you to be very close to the enemy you really need something that makes you sturdy at all times

[cold gate]

hypnos does say that

[paper thicket]

Hol up, security log?

[manic bobcat]

You have 1 Death Defiance...

[paper thicket]

This I've not heard of.

[manic bobcat]

Just... get more?

[distant night]

administrative chambers

[brisk trail]

Yeah

[queen summit]

I recently got the infinite one

[paper thicket]

Ah.

Gonna be a few more dozen runs, then.

[distant night]

the infinite isnt that good if you struggle with just bosses

[distant night]

does your house contractor not have it open for you yet?

[queen summit]

I struggle with the poison BEFORE the boss actually

[manic bobcat]

Also Cosmic Egg in Styx is useless. I know there is a quest associated with it but you are just making it harder for yourself.

I would suggest equipping Acorn and level it up if you haven't already.

[paper thicket]

I'm in the middle of a run right now, I'll let you know next death.

[distant night]

if you struggle with the poison get the keepsake from the elysium npc

[paper thicket]

Though I don't believe I have enough gemstones for it anyway.

[queen summit]

I have the acorn but haven't lvld it yet no

[queen summit]

Which one was that again?

[manic bobcat]

Yeah Acorn is really solid to equip from Elysium on ward.

[manic bobcat]

Sprearpoint.

[queen summit]

Right

From that one guy from that one myth

Lol

[distant night]

acorn is really good but only once leveled

else you might wanna go for skelly's tooth since you lack DDs

[queen summit]

I rely a lot on Chaos boons so I usually keep the egg a lot

How can I get more DD's?

[manic bobcat]

well you can't get chaos gates in styx so...

Oh oof

I thought I was just being unlucky then it's just useless yeah

[distant night]

you can buy up to 3 permanent ones in the mirror

[queen summit]

As I said, I only bought the game yesterday lol

[manic bobcat]

Either switch to Death Defiance, or look for Athena boons (there is a neat trick for this to work).

[distant night]

you might focus on that before leveling any other mirror aspect afterwards

[queen summit]

I leveled most of my prefered mirror stuff already

[manic bobcat]

Yeah for your first clear I think Death Defiance (the 3 lives one) is better.

But it's up to you.

[queen summit]

How do I get access to that?

[weak thorn]

Hector then killed Patroclus by stabbing him in the stomach with a spear.
Oof that keepsake makes a lot of sense now

[distant night]

you still only have one according to the security log which shouldnt be

[manic bobcat]

You should already do?

[distant night]

you should really max it out

[manic bobcat]

also this is better for #h1-for-new-players since some spoilers are invovled. easier to chat there.

[weak thorn]

Jesus this man has done 34 attempts in a day

[queen summit]

[weak thorn]

And i thought me doing like 35 in the last 3 days was a lot

[queen summit]

I just got done with m y 40th run

I literally haven't been doing anything else other than playing this game since I finished installing it like 22 hours ago

[distant night]

[distant night]

[queen summit]

Didn't know it gave me more
