topaz hemlock
which is best cast E
lost osprey
what
timid slate
d cast
topaz hemlock
besides ||demeter||
lost osprey
did you just say d cast is good?
kind skiff
I dont really use casts for their damage so I like the ones that stick into enemies for the buffs that come from that
lost osprey
its ||demeter|| are you insane?
brisk trail
I am confused
kind skiff
Usually artemis plus the ||demeter boon|| that makes you do more when you have no casts left
tender oxide
I like Athena, zeus, Poseidon and Artemis’ cast
manic bobcat
Crystal Beam is good if you get the duo boons to go with it.
wild schooner
Demeter is... eh. Can be good with tracking, but not my fav
manic bobcat
By itself, c beam is meh
wild schooner
Artemis. Thats one i haven't heard
brisk trail
I had fists with cold embrace once. It was fun.
timid slate
its great in end boss tho, when he do the beam attack
u throw ur own beams too
xD
and watch the numbers
tender oxide
I don’t like the aoe casts as much and ||demeter’s|| doesn’t deal enough damage fast enough for me because enemies always just get out of the way of it and it does nothing
timid slate
thats why u try to get either chill effect on it, or the tracking effect
twilit bridge
tbh i dont use casts that much only if i get a good boon on it
kind skiff
Boiling blood + exit wounds + the ||demeter|| one I dont know the name of makes for a really good damage buff just by pressing a
wild schooner
I honestly dont use casts that much anymore
timid slate
aris cast + vicious wounds + arti duo boon
gg
my fastest run was using it at 20 min
tender oxide
I don’t usually use them unless I have a boon that effects them
topaz hemlock
fists are crap imo
timid slate
hunting blades = the aris blades follow their target
manic bobcat
Artemis and Ares duo
tender oxide
basically throw the bayblades and watch the huge numbers
My bayblade is aspect of ||zeus|| special
wild schooner
Ares arte duo
topaz hemlock
what le oof is hunting blade
twilit bridge
ooooooh that is nicee
wild schooner
We literally just said it @topaz hemlock
topaz hemlock
is it a cast?
wild schooner
Artemis and ares's duo boon
topaz hemlock
whats a duo boon
tender oxide
A rare boon that 2 gods contribute to
timid slate
duo boon is a boon bestowed by 2 gods
manic bobcat
@topaz hemlock how far are you into the game?
timid slate
it got low chance
topaz hemlock
how to get duo boon
timid slate
and usually fuse some effects of both gods
tender oxide
Luck
topaz hemlock
<@329927122694963211> how far are you into the game?
i have all weapons but only 2 aspects
and also i havent beaten ||hades|| yet
timid slate
there a mirror upgrade if u can do with epics
manic bobcat
Got it
timid slate
what is ur most fun build?
tender oxide
Yeah but even with it maxed out I hardly ever get duo boons
lost osprey
i made the heat gauge cry
topaz hemlock
farthest i got was that earthy lookin place
lost osprey
I MADE IT CRY
manic bobcat
what is ur most fun build?
Cluster Bomb Rocket Bomb Deadly Strike on Eris Rail.
tender oxide
Oh and I thought the last mirror upgrade would stop at 3000 darkness but apparently there’s a 4000 darkness level
I really hope there’s not a fifth level for that
manic bobcat
so whats the best thing to do rn
Keep playing and upgrade your mirror :D
manic bobcat
Do you have a favorite weapon?
timid slate
the x3 rocket or the x5 rockets?
manic bobcat
X5
topaz hemlock
Do you have a favorite weapon?
bow
manic bobcat
Nice! Same :D
timid slate
this build gives the game a new flavour xD
kind skiff
Im honestly carried by cursed slash
timid slate
i did a run with it yesterday
topaz hemlock
tho bow kinda sucks once u get to that earth place with the eyeballs that turn into archers
manic bobcat
You might have some titan blood right Fridgeroni? Try unlocking Hera bow
topaz hemlock
u mean the first aspect?
manic bobcat
And put Trippy Shot (Dionysus cast) on it
twilit bridge
tho bow kinda sucks once u get to that earth place with the eyeballs that turn i...
||elysium|| lol
manic bobcat
u mean the first aspect?
No, it's the second or third one
tender oxide
Elysium is probably my least favorite area as far as enemies go
manic bobcat
It should say Hera on it
timid slate
is bow hidden aspect good?
twilit bridge
Elysium is probably my least favorite area as far as enemies go
but its so... beautiful....
no ||fishies|| tho
tender oxide
There are
timid slate
yummi sad
manic bobcat
is bow hidden aspect good?
On of the best. It holds the heat record roght now.
tender oxide
but i dont get titan blood from ||megaeara|| anymore
Play with different weapons
You get it on the first clear with each weapon
And there is a way to get more after that I don’t want to spoil it though
manic bobcat
but i dont get titan blood from ||megaeara|| anymore
You need to beat the game. Then you have the option to "farm" more bloods. Otherwise try clearing Meg witb other weapons.
topaz hemlock
killing big book guy

That's about it
topaz hemlock
the ||bone hydra||
void vigil
just like everything else, you can trade for it at the broker, but if you dont have a lot of resources trading is probably not a good idea
topaz hemlock
lol i just noticed that after getting a boon from ||aphrodite|| sometimes zagreus says: "love it"
lmao
how do i steal from ||charon||
wild schooner
Visit ||mid shop||
topaz hemlock
whats ||mid shop||
manic bobcat
The shop in the middle of an area.
manic bobcat
You have 2 shops in an biome. One in the middle and one right before the boss.
wild schooner
||there will randomly be a sack behind him. It doesn't always spawn, so you were probably just unlucky||
manic bobcat
To ||steal from Charon||, you need to be in the middle shop and there is a chance ||a special interactable object can spawn||.
topaz hemlock
alr he didnt have one now
tender oxide
You also need to max out your relationship with him I’m pretty sure
Or close to max out
wild schooner
Nope
tender oxide
Oh you don’t?
wild schooner
Ive gotten it before ever giving him a nectar
wild schooner
I think there might be a certain amount of runs you need to do to actually unlock it
tender oxide
Lol that’s saved me so many times
I beat max ||extreme measures|| using five death defiances because of him
kind skiff
Trying out a frost build
Shield enemies are way less annoying when they cant turn around

Ill probably do all the rooms anyway
pliant sparrow

kind skiff
Damn
Chill + quick attack hammer is stupid
Enemies just stop
Wait
I accidentally just got a duo boon
hollow heron
A big tip with tunnel pathing is to never do a skull one on the first tunnel
And often I'll try for one on the second if I have a build that could still do it if I don't get the sack
raw harbor
Hey guys!
hollow heron

brisk trail
It is actually recommended to do miniboss rooms first as they are faster

does the game keeps track of ur failures
lmao
kind skiff
Hmm
Im about to fight the final boss
I can use the anvil to get rid of cursed slash right?
Because I would rather have a crap ton of hp then sustain
wild schooner
It chooses one of the hammer upgrades you've gotten on the run randomly
raw harbor
I thunk so
pliant sparrow
could be better if i didnt need 3 tried to find the goddamn sack
lul i had a 7:50 time out of elysium and then i got a 5 sack
pliant sparrow
u can only do it once
wild schooner
You cant do it twice
kind skiff
Oh nvm
timid slate
aaaa
wild schooner
And it usually never gets rid of the one you want
timid slate
u reahed elysium 7.5 min?
kind skiff
Oh ok
timid slate
if u good at dodging
pliant sparrow
Cleared elysium 7:50
wild schooner
If you have fought them before

Only 1 time

wtf how u clear it in 7.5

Yah so basically if u never get hit, cursed slash is good xDdd

Does the final boss get a third phase?

Pretty slow compared to other people tho

||with a pact option, yes||

No upgrades needed
strange adder
i made a grave mistake by picking explosive shot with hidden aspect bow
wild schooner
What would everyone recommend on talos?
strange adder
zeus i guess
wild schooner
Well, zeus is the obvious choice, but i was wondering if there was anything else that would work well
timid slate
why the ppl use the cast 3 tiems before going thro doors?
strange adder
Well, zeus is the obvious choice, but i was wondering if there was anything else...
uh dionysus?
or demeter
kind skiff
Damn
wild schooner
I guess im more wondering if there is anything i should take for talos specifically, rather than just what i should take for fists
strange adder
i dont think there's any specialties for talos
twin vine
Ran into a (failed) run that had me get two upgrades to the rail
twin vine
Said upgrades were the Rocket Bomb and the Cluster Bomb
strange adder
dream team right there
twin vine
I also hade the laser cast and two of Artemis' Duo Boons (Mirage Shot and Crystal Clarity)
timid slate
assuming u got 2 upgrade, one of them being rocket bomb, and then used anvil at 4th stage, and u got triple bomb and cluster bomb instead of the 2nd upgrade
does it work?
anyone can confirm?
its odds pretty low but i would love seein this
winter harbor
I don’t think anvil can give incompatible hammers
timid slate
hammers clash?
twin vine
You get one upgrade as the Cluster, then another as the rocket
I had to primarily focus on the casts
twin vine
its odds pretty low but i would love seein this
It's pretty much a rocket spread shot
topaz hemlock
i got the aspect of heheheheh
twin vine
x5 casts
strange adder
lmao triple shot explosive shot ||rama||
timid slate
x5 casts and triple shot
twin vine
x5 bomb + Rockets
timid slate
ye what about them?
i was talking if u could possibly have the 3 upgrades -> rocket, triple cast, cluster
using the anvil and god of luck next to u
xD
twin vine
Combine that with Tempest Flourish and Razor Shoals and knocking anything away that wasn't focused on by 6 lasers

Are there amy particularly good specials for stygius?
I tend to find myself just mashing normal attacks

the normal attack is all u need :D
sword before hidden aspect is total different after it

Dash Nova, without question

Dash nova is the jump, right?

Mod + giving up mid run

I just beat tartarus with the worst loadout ive had in a while
It was pretty much just wealth slash
Damn
I beat the gorgon+stone fight with 1 hp and got a fountain
strange adder
shield zeus aspect is probably the worst aspect because it requires high IQ to be used effectively
i just like to recall it back and let it follow me for a while
paper thicket
Just had a room filled with the regen dudes in Elysium.
I thought I escaped the wrath of 2Fort Snipers forever ago.

The dudes that you kill them then you have the kill the little ghost dude that pop out of them before they "respawn" per se
versed verge
what does god mode even do?

% damage reduction that increases when u die

Ayy just beat my first attempt at bow lol
I had 8 hp and no death defiances left though
It was clutch

Had my first attempt with the sword
Namely using Cursed and Flurry Slash and Athena's Aid
I pretty much mowed down anything I ran into thanks to Cursed Slash healing me back up

sounds fun actually

Simply put: The Bull of Minos could not get me below 20 HP
cold gate
can someone hint me as to when i can make use of ambrosia?
ive completed 4 runs so far and im not sure when i do get to use them
twin vine
You give nectar to a character a certain amount of times before getting to do a key action with them
sonic sleet
I was watching some greek myths on youtube and realized most of the Myth's are basically "AND THEN ALONG CAME ZEUS!"
twin vine
After that action, give them the Ambrosia to further enhance the reactions (and gain "companion" plushies with a certain few)
cold gate
but theres no prompt to do so?
twin vine
I found that out with Skelly, after getting his requirements done (Whail on him after maxing out your sword's starting aspect level)
cold gate
so i have to get them to say something special?
low nexus
just got my first dio legendary boon
twin vine
You got to give them a bunch of Nectar, preform an requirement (check your pact of fates for more info), then use the Ambrosia
cold gate
alright
twin vine
Not as hard as it sounds once you figure it out
cold gate
ill die early so i can get some more dialog

armored chariots with forced overtime honestly feels like an oversight

jaunty vapor
It really depends
low nexus
i just got ||aspect of arthur|| right after|| credits ||for the first time
narrow hemlock
So yeah I'm just trying to figure out how to unlock the challenges
as far as i can see, you're just going to have to keep doing runs until it pops up.
jaunty vapor
It has been a while since I gave skelly the ambrosia
am on run 53 as of now
Probably 20?
since the ambrosia
narrow hemlock
bad rng then. the requirements for it are pretty simple and you've certainly met them

I have never really used the twin fist before what is the difference between heavy knuckles and concentrated knuckles
errant shadow
I dont know if devs can read this but you guys made a fantastic game. Voted for you !
pliant sparrow
I have never really used the twin fist before what is the difference between hea...
for concentrated knuckles, your Attack deals +5 base damage for each uninterrupted hit to a foe. for heavy knuckles, Your Attack becomes a slower 3-hit sequence, each deals 40 base damage.
jaunty vapor
I'd say heavy knuckles personally
pliant sparrow
it depends
if u do a standard build which is using the fast attacks of fists with zeus boons, heavy knuckles is really bad
if ur using heavy knuckles, that's called using the hidden aspect *but worse :P
molten nymph
hidden aspect but less damage, less dash, and less AoE

hypnos emoting with flowers: cute

sonic sleet
Apparently mortals can hurt gods? Or at least cause them pain? I was reading some of the Trojan war myths Aphrodite got stabbed and she cried and instantly fled to Olympus while Ares got stabbed and he freaked out and ran to Zeus who had to tell him to suck it up since he's a god and the wound won't kill him.
sonic sleet
Aphrodite seems like the kind of god who's never been stabbed before until then XD
calm bone
If we killed Demeter would we be able to live on the surface?
wild schooner
Shes been stabbed, just in a different sort of way
calm bone
I think we keep dying ||cuz Demeter gives us a cold||
sonic sleet
Considering Zeus had his son crack his skull open and a fully formed and armored Athena popped out they can handle a lot of damage before they die.
pliant sparrow
major spoilers
calm bone
I think the bosses for Hades 2 should be Demeter, Zeus, The Titans, and a big surface Ogre
pliant sparrow
Make sure to spoiler tag them
||demeter|| only shows up after first clear
Same with ||dying after clearing on surface||
@calm bone
wild schooner
Also, i doubt hades is going to have a sequel
calm bone
Hades is GotY quality, so I doubt it wont get a sequel with out much profit they made
sonic sleet
I can't remember what Myth it was but it made me laugh a little, Zeus came down and wanted to do his normal Zeus thing with this one lady and she was like "NOPE!" and just booked it.
winter harbor
Are you sure you aren't confusing it with apollo?
sonic sleet
Apparently by that point girls were trying to avoid being spotted by Zeus since his wife would kill them.
Uh I think it's the story where Zeus turned that one lady into a bull
wild schooner
If anything, bastion is probably the most likely to get a sequel, and i highly doubt that too
pliant sparrow
Io?
sonic sleet
He didn't really take no for a answer
His wife came looking for him and he panicked and turned the lady into a bull Hera knew something was up so she acted all sweet and wanted the bull as a gift
So Zeus had to give her the bull or she'd know something was up and the lady spent a few years as a cow
Well oddly enough Zeus felt guilty about everything
calm bone
Hades is too ultra-successful to not get a sequel, i'd be like if Halo or Mario never got a sequel
hollow heron
Hades is too ultra-successful to not get a sequel, i'd be like if Halo or Mario ...
Afaik Bastion has still sold way more copies than Hades and it has not gotten a sequel
sonic sleet
In some versions of the Myth him and Persephone loved each other and worked with Zeus to elope
pliant sparrow
its perfect as a standalone game not sure how they could make a sequel
supple lodge
it might not be a direct continuation but it wouldn't be out of place for them to release another game based on greek mythology imo
pliant sparrow
Maybe a big content update for new gods and weapons
wild schooner
Thats true
calm bone
it makes no sense for them to leave loose ends in the story with hiding ||persphone|| forever just because of ||Demeter and Zeus|| they should be bosses in the next game
pliant sparrow
Theres a reason the game is praised for its narrative
sonic sleet
Plus Myth wise I think Hades only cheated on his wife once?
Mind you that's VERY GOOD for the greek gods XD
sonic sleet
The one time was with Minthi (Μίνθη) a girl of extreme beauty and as the myth says either Demetra transformed her to a plant (Mint) because she was afraid that Hades would replace Persephone with her , either Persephone was so enraged by Hades infidelity that she killed the girl by stomping on her.
winter harbor
That's why mints are associated with the dead in Greek culture
calm bone
I already made 50 clears and brought ||persphone|| home and unlocked the director guy so I figured the game was already over
pliant sparrow
If the story isnt over it isnt over
sonic sleet
Like I know it's bad he cheated like once or twice in the myths but amusingly enough he's the best out of the main 3
Zeus and his water bro like cheated so much that's the start of most myths XD
On a side note I just found out Pegasus has a brother
And they are kind of Medusa's kids
In Greek mythology, Chrysaor (Greek: Χρυσάωρ, Chrysáor, gen.: Χρυσάορος, Chrysáoros; English translation: "He who has a golden sword" (from χρυσός, "golden" and ἄορ, "sword")), the brother of the winged horse Pegasus, was often depicted as a young man, the son of Poseidon and the Gorgon Medusa.
Oh my gods I just realized something
Greek monsters are like Pinata's if you beat them enough a surprise pops out

Hello semi new to hades as in just “beat” the game last night for the first time
Is the chaos shield aspect really the best weapon in the game? I keep reading it is online
I haven’t fully upgraded it but it doesn’t seem that OP what booms are you supposed to do with it?
hollow heron
It got nerfed
calm bone
shield is OP against everything except for bosses and bosses are the only hard thing
wanton storm
Gotcha ok that makes sense. What do y’all think would be a good weapon to get into that also has a top tier aspect?
I’m kinda getting bored of shield and didn’t enjoy bow or gun
hollow heron

If you don't use TD it's OP against bosses as well
calm bone
I like the 4th spear aspect a lot I was able to wipe the floor with the final boss in a couple minutes using it, the DPS is insane
wanton storm
Are any of the twin fist good?
hollow heron
Play what you enjoy
Meta doesn't matter until high heat
(even at 32 everything is viable, though some will be harder than others)
calm bone
I think you get the best DPS using the sword, fist, bow, or spear
depends heavily on the build tho
hollow heron
Literally just play what you enjoy
wanton storm
Ya true I’m not great yet at managing what boons to pick
hollow heron
That's really what it is
wanton storm
Ya I’m just bored of the shield. The fist seem fun
hollow heron
You can always play them all and see what you enjoy
calm bone
like the other day I did a build where your sword's attack is based off the amount of gold you hold, so I saved literally every penny and by the end I had 4000 gold and my sword's attack was doing 400 dmg per hit
wanton storm
I don’t have enough Titan blood to test some of the other stuff that sounds cool
hollow heron
You'll get more by testing out stufd
If you're consistent you get 2/run, plus some bonus, that's a pretty good stream of blood
hollow heron
It's per heat level per weapon
And the first heat levels are easy enough to just never stop the flow
calm bone
I was able to complete the 32 heat run with the 4th spear aspect, so that's my personal favorite
wanton storm
Is that the one that cuts down health and healing?
hexed shore
ye
calm bone
with the spear I was doing like 500 damage per max charge toss, so I killed the final boss super quick and easy

Yes

ok ty
calm bone
All but one hidden aspect are ||"slow attack speed but high damage"||
if you are referring to the ||Lucifer railgun|| I think I would consider that the slowest weapon of them all, because the dmg isnt actually good unless you fire the beam constantly until it runs of out ammo, so it feels like a 5 second attack animation basically
keen scarab
yo i got it one try thank you sketch

like if I click one in the boons menu it just ticks this little mark by it

heyyyy was wondering how to equip boons I'm a lill bit confused

You don't really use it for the weapon damage, you use the fast attack speed to proc boons

I'm confused though because I got the ||chaos|| boon that turns into enshrouded strike after 4 areas and now it's just there in my boons menu but not on the sidebar
wanton storm
Why is my 4th aspect not unlocking on my shield?
pliant sparrow
yah chaos boons or anything with a timer shows up on the side until the timer runs out
pliant sparrow
Why is my 4th aspect not unlocking on my shield?
rng probably
wanton storm
I’ve had 7 Titan bloods on the shield for a long time and have also talked to chaos a lot
pliant sparrow
i mean there is quite literally no other explanation if you've fufilled all the requirements
except rng
wanton storm
What’s the other requirement?
weary widget
Have you gotten the spear's?
wanton storm
No....
pliant sparrow
no spear unlocks them all
narrow hemlock
unlocking spear will open up the rest of the 4th aspects
wanton storm
Ahh gotcha. So unlock the shield 4th aspect?
narrow hemlock
you need to unlock spear before you can do anything else. the order you go after that doesnt matter
wanton storm
Unlock the spear itself or the 4th aspect?
narrow hemlock
4th aspect spear is a requirement to unlocking every other 4th aspect
narrow hemlock
once you've got that it sounds like you should be set for shield
wanton storm
Do I have to put points into the fourth aspect or just have it available
narrow hemlock
just have it available iirc
wanton storm
Does supergiant plan to continue to update this game?
I didn’t know if it’s the type of game to be release and that’s it or if they add stuff
narrow hemlock
patches for bug fixes and the like, possibly. additional content, there's no plans at current
deep pivot
They are taking a well deserved break 
hollow heron
Yeah, this version is basically the end of the update chain
brisk trail
Both Bastion and Pyre got post-release updates.
wanton storm
Oohhh nice
Ya this game is great I would of paid 60 for it lol
Do aspect of Zagreus not count toward the 5 Titan blood needed

I got sword hidden pretty much right after fully leveling up zag aspect sword, so yeah, I think it should count for the others

Just started hell mode for the first time, one run I got to third boss and failed miserably cause I only had 30 health.
On the next I died to a trap in elysium 
Good fun
hexed shore
Is hell mode that hard? Doesn't it just disable your invincibility after taking a ton of damage
pliant sparrow
yah but that isnt really used i feel
prisma wind
It might not sounds like a big deal, but don't underestimate how much that damage shield saves you sometimes
pliant sparrow
also it starts at 5 heat

ohh man sometimes i do not like how i play this game
i always go for whatever the thirst wants me to use but i've just gone like 10 runs in a row where its given me gun, fists or bow with one shield tossed in
winter harbor
That's why I only listen to dark thirst some of the time and pick what I want to the other half of the time
hollow heron
For me thirst is just a way to choose if I don't have a lust to play anything specific

I get bow a lot more than I'd like to
I havent gotten sword in literally 10 runs
im doing a fun aspect of zagreus crit build, im actually really enjoying it
which is weird since i havent liked any of my other bow runs
also does anyone have advice for elyseum? I always get >4 mins in the other regions but im super slow here

marsh pasture
I've forgotten the name of this boon? I think. It gave me 2% health after slaying any foe. Started with D, Drilling something maybe, not sure
Anyone know
dusty sigil
I'm just wondering, with all these updates to the game, the Switch version is still at the same version. Am I missing things on that platform compared to e.g. PC?
marsh pasture
Okay nvm, found what I was looking for on the Wiki
It was an Upgrade to the Twin Fists - Draining Cutter
pliant sparrow
kinda a meh hammer tbh
tulip geyser
Hey um... SINCE WHEN DID MEG TURN GREEN WTF 🤬
marsh pasture
Draining Cutter combined with Dusa's Keepsake is a formidable combo. Helped me defeat ||Hades after 8 total runs||
tulip geyser
Ummm is that not spoiler?
pliant sparrow
that is a spoiler
marsh pasture
I mean I've seen people talkabout that fight without tagging it
pliant sparrow
not in this chat
narrow hemlock
hey final boss is a spoiler in this channel, please tag accordingly
tulip geyser
Welp
pliant sparrow
also draining cutter and dusa's keepsakes are pretty meh tbh
tulip geyser
There goes me knowing about the final boss lmao 🤣
pliant sparrow
you only get like 10 health back per chamber if ur lucky
marsh pasture
I learned who the final boss was thru this chat lol
tulip geyser
Hahaha
narrow hemlock
apologies 
marsh pasture
No need to apologize lol. It was kinda obvious so I didn't really mind it. Also gotta love Draining cuter + dusa's keepsake - damn such an OP combo
You get lucky every other chamber coz there are so many urns
north pier
Honestly if you come to a game's general discord 3 months after the game released, you're setting yourself up for spoilers
pliant sparrow
how is that a combo?
north pier
especially this game where the end is never the end
marsh pasture
The sheer number of urns makes it a worthwile keepsake, if the urns were more rare it wouldn't be worth it
pliant sparrow
i mean sure if u really struggle with not dying
north pier
having many routes for healing is always gonna be good
marsh pasture
Which makes it OP, yeah
pliant sparrow
i mean if ur struggling with regular rooms, chances are you're running a super high difficulty anyway
and running stubborn defiance
and will get bursted down in one room
plus usually people run 2 god keepsakes in tart/asph, not too many jars in elysium
marsh pasture
I'm playing Godless mode with 1 DD
pliant sparrow
if u only have 1 dd u might as well use SD then
since u get it back every chamber
else invest into DD asap
marsh pasture
Yeah but you tend to run low in health after each use
pliant sparrow
which is fine for most rooms b4 each boss, then u buy the food item in shop
marsh pasture
It'd be fine when combined with Dusa's Kepsake and Draining Cutter
But I want more DD so I'm saving up Darkness
pliant sparrow
do u stop at every charon well?
weary widget
Equip Meg keepsake with SD, now you have almost-always-on damage buff
marsh pasture
Nice, I'll experiment later once I finish 10 successful runs
Also, I stop at most Wells I think
pliant sparrow
i think the reason ur struggling with regular is cuz ur taking dusa keepsake
if u take 2 god keepsakes, you can ensure a good core build
marsh pasture
Mate I've only made 1 run with Dusa's Keepsake and it helped me defeat the final boss after 7 total runs
pliant sparrow
ok
north pier
nah don't worry about that, trying to roll for "good builds" every run is so boring compared to just playing the game and learning to dodge
pliant sparrow
im telling you tho, everyone runs god keepsakes
im not referring to myself in third person when i say that :P
north pier
making do with what you get is all part of the fun
you learn to value new things and discover ways to make irregular builds better
plus the bonuses from other keepsakes are cool, fun to use
marsh pasture
This tbh
I like the game making me adapt with what I have instead of trying to gather everything and theorycraft like a nerd lol
north pier
AND you can still be a nerd about it haha
ofc not everyone needs to play like that and I think god boons are a great option for people who want to build specifically towards certain things
marsh pasture
Yep, that's fair. Everyone will have different playstyles and player mentalities and would want to play the game their own way
chilly dock
I'm torn between nominating hades or doom eternal for goty on steam
Bolth are absolutely fantastic
north pier
Yep, it's gonna be tight.
marsh pasture
I think Zeus Keepsake would be very helpful for my build considering the lightning damage from my Special and Dash stack up to do helluva total damage. I'll try that this run
chilly dock
Doom eternal is def the best shooter besides tf2 and titanfall 2 and I personally have way more love for gungeon then hades but that could change
pliant sparrow
if ur going fists just go zeus attack
marsh pasture
Yeah I'm doing Twin Fists, okay that nails it I'll equip Zeus Keepsake
void vigil
Vote for hades, because doomy doesn’t have 
prisma wind
Doomsa 
marsh pasture
They're both great games but given a choice I'd pick Hades
But it'd be one helluva close call
chilly dock
They're both great games but given a choice I'd pick Hades
I'm gonna wait until I beat the doom eternal campain and when I get past asphodel
marsh pasture
Oh you haven't finished the games yet. Of course, it's entirely subjective so whatever game you pick up in the end,
no matter what, it'll be the correct choice

how does Dark Foresight work?
There is a chance that your room gets silver or gold rewards. I don't know what exactly the chances are, but with dark foresight, the gold rewards show up more often, they're more valuable to players who are done collecting gems and darkness

wait bois
if i die
i redo the whole run ?
fighting the same character again ?

Trust me, a run will become much quicker once you become familiar with the game. And the runs and enemies will change too the further you get into the game and story

Getting darkness lets you unlock permanent upgrades too so keep that in mind, it’ll get easier as you go
