[frigid ginkgo]

Hamster Ball of Death ACTIVATE.

[hexed shore]

I take too much damage from the aid

Artemis aid best, it literally ends him right there

[paper thicket]

I wish I got Artemis's aid more.

[frigid ginkgo]

I got it once while fighting him, it really does crazy damage to him

[hexed shore]

Like the fight usually goes like calls for aid "Artemis!!" dies

[frigid ginkgo]

But I like being impervious and bonking fools

[paper thicket]

I remember the one time I got it, it dealt some massive damage to the Hydra, finishing off the last of its health.

[hexed shore]

Artemis aid at the max Guage can delete most bosses at their final stage

[paper thicket]

I pushed F, Hydra died, and I was like "what...happened?"

[frigid ginkgo]

Artemis happened

[paper thicket]

It wasn't even full charge IIRC

[hexed shore]

Bonus points if you activate privileged status before activating it

[frigid ginkgo]

A gang

[paper thicket]

Prestige status?

[hexed shore]

*privileged status

[pliant sparrow]

tbf hydra has like 0 health

[paper thicket]

Is that a status you get for maxing out an NPC's hearts through Nectar?

[hexed shore]

No

[pliant sparrow]

no its a mirror

[hexed shore]

It's a mirror

[frigid ginkgo]

Mirror buff for curse effects***

[hexed shore]

+40% damage if you get two curses active

[pliant sparrow]

2+ status effects on an enemy lets you deal +40% damage ot them

[brisk trail]

Hold up.

[paper thicket]

Oh the green statuses?

[pliant sparrow]

no im pretty sure its red

its a red mirror upgrade

[frigid ginkgo]

Yeah, red

[pliant sparrow]

the flip side of it is green family favorites, which gives 5% per god boon

[paper thicket]

I don't think I've gotten that far.
AFAIK, it's only purple and green for me.

[hexed shore]

Well any two statuses like weak, doom, hangover, jolted, rupture, exposed, hunter's mark or chill

[paper thicket]

Who gives chill anyway? I've seen it appear in one of Aphrodite's duo boons in the compendium but can't think of any Greek/Roman gods that are associated with ice

[hexed shore]

Spoiler

[pliant sparrow]

just clear a run once

you'll find out

dont dig too deep or anything

[paper thicket]

Gotcha.

[brisk trail]

don't even gotta clear

just make it to the final boss

[frigid ginkgo]

^

[paper thicket]

I'll update you guys in a month or so once I make it to the end.

[pliant sparrow]

dont worry on average is usually anywhere between 20-40 clears to win

[paper thicket]

I only just got to the dungeons and the poison was too much.

[brisk trail]

you can cure it with the little pools

[paper thicket]

I noticed.

[pliant sparrow]

that is nearly at the end if you view the map

[paper thicket]

But with everything else going on, getting to the pools is a bit tough.

And I was at extremely low health by the very end of the second chamber so the final time I got poisoned after prioritizing the enemy that dealt it, miles away from the cure pool, I was like "Aight, I'm boutta head out. "

[brisk trail]

[northernlion voice] just end me dude

I know this is hypnos tier advice but I just got better at avoiding the poison

then I didn't have to worry about curing it

[paper thicket]

I read that in his voice and it fits perfectly oml.

[frigid ginkgo]

I'm disappointed at the lack of Obvious Hypnos emoji

[pliant sparrow]

well the big rats are pretty easy to avoid poison cuz they just stand there

satyrs will have a hard time hitting you if you constantly dash around

is the advice i give

[paper thicket]

I think it was the bone dude that gave it to me in the end.

[pliant sparrow]

bone dude?

[narrow hemlock]

theres one, it just requires nitro

[frigid ginkgo]

Curses.

Not enough obol for that

[paper thicket]

idk the proper name for the enemies, so I just give a general description of them.

It was like some skeleton dude with the shaman hat that dealt poison.

[pliant sparrow]

ah ok thats a satyr

[hexed shore]

Satrys are the bane of my life

[frigid ginkgo]

They are not bones, just very pale for some reason

[hexed shore]

Cause I can't keep myself from hitting the attack button when I dash

[pliant sparrow]

oh god one time a satyr mini boss bursted me down from 150-0 health on hidden sword

[brisk trail]

Okay, everyone, let them figure it out.

As for the rest of you, c'mon, let them learn.

[paper thicket]

It is a dungeon, so they're not getting a lot of food from the guards

[brisk trail]

I'm hilarious and you know it

[frigid ginkgo]

For all Hades claims to be so organized, that place is a clown house

[brisk trail]

Little bit.

TES

I DID

IT

i beat the bone hydra with thd word

[frigid ginkgo]

Congrats mate

[brisk trail]

the sword

[paper thicket]

Niiiice

[frigid ginkgo]

Rn I'm trying to git gud with the shield

[paper thicket]

I want to try fists but oops I miscounted and sold off just enough keys to the broker to get me one key short of unlocking it.

Least I'll have more keys to go around come next death.

[hexed shore]

lol its actually hilarious, hades keeps bragging about being organized but you cant find a single file in that archive room

not without mom's help anyway

so really its just nyx being all knowing more than the house of hades being organized

[frigid ginkgo]

Files are a mess. No one in the house agrees with him. Vermin problem. Doesn't redecorate even though he has loads of gems.

[hexed shore]

I mean I dont think he wants anyone to agree with him

they just need to obey him

[frigid ginkgo]

Well

He seems to have some trouble with that too

[hexed shore]

there's only one person disobeying him

[frigid ginkgo]

I mean. ||Nyx, Thanatos, Achilles, Charon|| are all going behind his back

Off the top of my head

If you count the keepsakes as actively helping in the escape, even Dusa is doing it

[supple lodge]

Hypnos did put the whole house to sleep one time, that has to count for something

[narrow hemlock]

apparently it doesnt because its never mentioned ever again 🤪

[hexed shore]

sure but no one seems to be actively defying him like zag does

[frigid ginkgo]

Well, they don't need to.

[hexed shore]

like if he told anyone of them to not they'd stop

[frigid ginkgo]

He does tell other characters not to and they don't though

[hexed shore]

like who? other than nyx

[frigid ginkgo]

||Nyx is like "mate I own this house", Achilles gets a warning but doesn't seem to back down (and then he has the "he's only a god" chat with Zagreus, Thanatos seems conciliatory but then... continues to do the exact same stuff, Charon doesn't get told anything but I doubt he would care||

[hexed shore]

||than doesnt get explicitly told about anything relating to zag||

||nyx never obeyed hades cause she's the same level of authority as him||

[frigid ginkgo]

He gets grilled after his first intervention, so it must be the reason for it

[hexed shore]

||charon also seems to be outside hades' employment||

[frigid ginkgo]

And yeah, Nyx is arguably even higher than Hades, since she's older, but it doesn't change the fact that he tries to exert authority but fails

[hexed shore]

||iirc than gets grilled for being tardy not for intervening with zag||

||hades never tries to exert authority over nyx, they both know very clearly that they hold no sway over each other and can only try to reason with each other at best||

[frigid ginkgo]

||He tries to tell her not to help in a quite authoritarian tone, all things considered, that's why she's not happy at all||

He pushed the envelope, it simply didn't work

Obviously

[hexed shore]

||from what i could tell, he was telling her to not agitate things and cause trouble to which nyx says its bound to happen eventually and neither of them can do anything to stop it||

have you gotten to credits?

cause then the dialogue about what hades says to nyx and why makes more sense

[frigid ginkgo]

||In that first dialogue over it Zagreus says "I hate it when they fight", which suggests that despite the even tone they are both incensed. Nyx has a lot of poise even when she's telling someone off.||

[hexed shore]

also a big part that always apparent but gets ignored because of hades' disposition is that he has a soft spot for zag and intentionally lets a lot of things slide and zag is lowkey a spoiled brat

[neon raft]

what are the benefits to giving somebody more ||nectar|| ?

[hexed shore]

you get closer

[frigid ginkgo]

No, but the general point I'm making is more that Hades does try to play control-freak but fails

[hexed shore]

I mean yea if you rule through fear, its not always very effective

[frigid ginkgo]

Of course there are reasons for that in each case

Except the vermin, idk why there are so many damn vermin

He can get wretches to murder me why not to kill the rats

[hexed shore]

again have you gotten to credits? I dont wanna spoil anything but i really like hades

[frigid ginkgo]

Are you saying there are rat spoilers?

[hexed shore]

also the vermin live above the underworld, there are no shades there

[frigid ginkgo]

He can summon souls ||outside the gate, so the Temple should be no problem if he summoned a clean-up crew||

[hexed shore]

its pretty clear that one clean up crew is not enough based on how many times zag clears the tunnels

[frigid ginkgo]

Then keep bringing them on

He got enough of them on my back

[hexed shore]

I mean i doubt he has enough time to go up to the surface and kill rats when he could just let them be cause they're really not doing anything

[frigid ginkgo]

Myth I'm getting the sense that you are trying to dissect every statement I make in jest for some reason...?

[hexed shore]

Im not lol

I didnt realize you were joking

[worldly smelt]

why is it so hard to see fishing spots? is there a mod to make it easier? xd

[hexed shore]

everytime you enter a room with a fishing spot a very distant bell sound plays

if its a room with an encounter the bell will play after the encounter is over

[rough token]

Probably--the modding server is pinned in #self-promotion , you could ask there

But yes, there is a bell sound

[hexed shore]

its hard at first but after a while you'll get more perceptive of the sound

[worldly smelt]

oh, like the chaos bell?

i thought it was like my boon or something like that, good to know

[hexed shore]

no its a pretty sweet chime i think

[worldly smelt]

hm, i'll try to be more perceptive
ty

[small tusk]

Covid in a nutshell lmao

[rapid forum]

Okay I'm at my seventh run of Hell mode

I got to final boss

And died

[hexed shore]

died can be good or bad

[rapid forum]

If I didn't encounter ||tiny vermin||

I'd probably won

Maybe

It did eat my DD

[hexed shore]

im guessing you had only one DD

[rapid forum]

Yes

I should at least get 2

I can work with 2

But boiling blood and shadow presence tho

[hexed shore]

atleast you can winter's harvest him this time EZ

[rapid forum]

I don't have the thing below dark foresight tho

[hexed shore]

just get lucky yo

[rapid forum]

[hexed shore]

I got my friend to play hades and dude legit rolled ME on his 5th run or so

I was like 30 runs in, had never seen it

[rapid forum]

I almost never got a legendary in my ||9 story run||

[hexed shore]

i never got any legendary or duo before getting the perk below foresight

[rapid forum]

Playing zag bow without the crit chance is tough

[waxen juniper]

Haven't played Hades for about a week. I think I need to fix that

[hexed shore]

same

final exam today

[rough token]

good luck!

[hexed shore]

im so excited about playing hades that i dont even feel the nerves from the exam

[craggy barn]

gl myth

[strong vessel]

Sorry, what does ME stand for again?

[hexed shore]

merciful end

[strong vessel]

Thanks!

[dull niche]

merciful*

[brisk trail]

haven't had access to my pc since the 17th :c

[strong vessel]

I try not to wrap my strategy in duos and legendary boons. Though when it does appear, it's an automatic select for me.

[hexed shore]

I always build around getting a duo

[strong vessel]

Except for ||Cold Embrace||. That one is hard to control. Hahaha

[hexed shore]

its not hard to pull off if you have the mirror upgrade and use your yarns and nectar right

[frigid ginkgo]

Dang

[brisk trail]

meme beam

[frigid ginkgo]

||Granny's|| death vortex aint bad at all

[strong vessel]

I try to aim for that too! I love that the game automatically navigates in the menu of the certain God whose boon is displayed as the room reward. Well, not all the time, but usually.

[hexed shore]

its stupid good

[frigid ginkgo]

Beautiful, even

[hexed shore]

I've never actually liked ||demeter|| cast, is it good? first clear spoiler

[brisk trail]

mm qol

it's good with upgrades

[hexed shore]

im guessing you mean arty duo

[brisk trail]

if ur using Achilles spear its amazing

cast dmg % upgrades, Arty duo, ||the boon that makes it inflict chill||

[strong vessel]

One of my favorites actually. But I avoid getting Aphrodite when I got ||Demeter's Beam cast|| since I don't like ||Cold Embrace||. Lol

[strong vessel]

I try to set up Artemis and ||Demeter|| cause their duo is amazing.

[hexed shore]

does arty duo lock out cold embrace

[brisk trail]

yeah

[strong vessel]

When your ||beam inflicts chill|| already, pair it up with ||Demeter's Artic Blast|| and watch your enemies die. Haha

[wanton storm]

What are generally good boons to build around with ||aspect of Beowulf shield||

[hexed shore]

trippy shot

[brisk trail]

stygian soul dio cast

[wanton storm]

That’s Dionysus right?

[hexed shore]

yes

is stygian the time based one?

[wanton storm]

Ya

3 seconds

[hexed shore]

hmm never tried that, i used infernal cause 3 casts delete anything

[austere wagon]

Why is everyone covering their messages

[hexed shore]

spoilers

[pliant sparrow]

oh wait you needa spoiler hidden aspect shield @wanton storm

[austere wagon]

Oh okay

[pliant sparrow]

that being said, aphrodite cast + infernal

[hexed shore]

they're spoilers for first clear @austere wagon

[austere wagon]

Alright makes sense now

[wanton storm]

How do you put the spoiler bar over things

[pliant sparrow]

|| spoiler ||

[hexed shore]

|| on either side ||

[wanton storm]

Ahh okay

Thanks

[austere wagon]

||💩||

[pliant sparrow]

theseus isnt a spoiler he shows up before first clear so no need to spoiler tag this

[winter harbor]

Maybe if you're really good at hack and slash games

You guys are making it to elysium on your first run?

[wanton storm]

Ya wtf haha

[frigid ginkgo]

I guess they mean "before the end"

[wanton storm]

I made it no where near that

[pliant sparrow]

meant before first clear

[wanton storm]

Ahh ok

I’m surprised how accurate this game is with mythology

I mean it’s spot on for the most part

[austere terrace]

https://oddlyunadventurous.tumblr.com/post/631055706686095360
incredibly cursed but great art i found
(there's more in the post)

[brisk trail]

@molten crest

lmao

[frigid ginkgo]

I mean, even the trials are accurate to greek god pettiness

You have to choose one and the other will try to murder you

https://i.pinimg.com/236x/2c/26/62/2c266252bd25deecaf8224f0791510af.jpg

[nocturne ginkgo]

I actually really like the trials

It's funny

[hexed shore]

I only like the trials when ares is there

[nocturne ginkgo]

The gods be like: how d a r e you

[hexed shore]

ares doesnt take offense

[nocturne ginkgo]

Aphro: now, you're gonna find I'm very angery when I'm angry

Artemis: start running

Zeus: why, I never!

Me:

[frigid ginkgo]

I got this one where I had Artemis show up first alone and say something like ||"wow, you met Demeter, that's nice"||, then the trial was with both of them and she went HOW DARE YOU CHOOSE HER

[hexed shore]

it feels bad to betray dio artemis or athena

[nocturne ginkgo]

woooooooooo THIS IS N O T H I N GGGGG

Artemis is just

salt

[frigid ginkgo]

Look. I hate to do Artemis dirty but

||Granny|| scares me

[hexed shore]

but also athena is the easiest trial

[nocturne ginkgo]

I've never pissed off athena

[frigid ginkgo]

Athena will murder you just a little

[hexed shore]

the worst part about artemis is she's still angry even after its over

[nocturne ginkgo]

Meh

Salt is salt

[frigid ginkgo]

Yeah

[nocturne ginkgo]

It ain't like she has a brother who rides a sun chariot to complain to anyway

[frigid ginkgo]

girl you can't win all of them

[nocturne ginkgo]

oh wait

[waxen juniper]

So... I got Athena's legendary as soon as I entered Asphodel. I'm feeling okay about this one 😎

[frigid ginkgo]

Nice

[hexed shore]

now go score a ME

[waxen juniper]

This is not a Merciful End build at all. I'm running hidden spear with deflect special.

[nocturne ginkgo]

Merciful End?

What's that

[hexed shore]

everything is a ME build if you try hard enough

[waxen juniper]

Well, I don't wanna try hard enough :p

[hexed shore]

just need doom attack and deflect dash

ez

[nocturne ginkgo]

...

[hexed shore]

Merciful end is athena ares duo

[nocturne ginkgo]

Wut

[hexed shore]

its stupid strong

[nocturne ginkgo]

Oh

What's it do?

[hexed shore]

deflect instantly activates doom

so you just dash strike till everyone disappears

[nocturne ginkgo]

So like...

If I deflect the 🅱️one hydra (purple alter)'s waves

The

🅱️one hydra gets doom and will take damage after a while?

[hexed shore]

no like if you touch him with a deflect move it'll activate

so you apply doom with attack, then dash with divine dash and it'll proc

attack>dash>attack>dash>attack>dash

[nocturne ginkgo]

So first apply it, then I can detonate it at will basically?

[hexed shore]

yes

it circumvents the one downside that doom has

[nocturne ginkgo]

....I dont see how that's very op but then again I dont really simp for ares

The last run I had that revolved entirely around building one status effect was yesterday when I got my second win

...by basically compounding on Chill until it became scary

[spark hollow]

You can see how good merciful end is if you watch the 25 minute fresh save speed run

[prisma wind]

Vorime's actually brought it down to 21:44 now, but the Devs React vid is still a good watch

[waxen juniper]

Man that was close. Hidden spear is really slow and I had a really solid Athena build going, but it didn't seem like enough. Luckily I had divine dash at the end and it made the final fight a cake walk :D

[rapid forum]

I almost had him

I almost had the final boss

Aaaaaaaaaaaa

I had a arty on attack with triple shot, poseidon's aid and rip current

Dang it

Triple shot and flurry shot btw

On the bright side

I can afford 2 DD

[winter harbor]

You'll get him next time

[leaden summit]

The thing is that you can apply doom again right after you triggered it for insane dps. You can get more 500 damage per doom with a bit of luck and if you have the right build you should be able to get off like 2 dooms per second

Merciful end melts bosses

[hushed coyote]

Yeah, I once had a merciful end combo with rail hidden aspect with triple bomb

It was... Obscenity.

[winter harbor]

Hidden rail and eris are both fun

[rapid forum]

Speaking of which, what was the nerf for ME?

[winter harbor]

You can't get ME using the dash anymore

[rapid forum]

That's it?

Wow

[leaden summit]

It does make it slightly harder to get the best combo

[winter harbor]

Hidden rail plays a bit weirdly at first because no dash strikes because you're constantly attacking but I like the lasers

[leaden summit]

Speaking of merciful end, has anyone tried chiron with ares special and dire misfortune and athena attack? It sounds like it could work if you don't shoot more than one special between attacks

[hushed coyote]

Lasers cool, but I like the hammer that makes the bombs radiate huge auras

And then putting spicy special boons on it

Though I discovered Zeus will detonate his own hellfire. Ungrateful bastard.

(Basically turns it into a delayed version of normal special, which has its perks tbh)

Also putting Athena on it creates periodic NO U zones

[rapid forum]

I'm glad athena's trial doesn't deflect our attacks

[leaden summit]

Yeah, it would turn it from slightly annoying but not hard to impossible, lol

Unless you deal less damage to yourself

[winter harbor]

athena's trial is the only one that doesn't directly hurt you

I always offend her because of that

[leaden summit]

Yeah same

[hushed coyote]

She's very easy to offend

[viral lion]

aw don't bully athena : (

[hushed coyote]

There are two gods I will NEVER upset though, Dionysus and Aphrodite

[leaden summit]

I can't dodge poseidon and aphro

I would put dio on the same level as demeter

[hushed coyote]

Dio is just too unpredictable, and Aphro just... Sneaks up on you and ruins you

[rapid forum]

sees a trial, it's demeter and aphro
Guess I'll die

[hushed coyote]

Depending on the arena Poseidon is okay to dodge but in certain rooms oooh no

[leaden summit]

If you are ranged, demeter is not too bad

Still one of the worst but

[hushed coyote]

In very large rooms Demeter is a joke

In tight spaces she's death incarnite

[rapid forum]

mistook demeter for aphro
oh crap

[hushed coyote]

... How could you possibly

[rapid forum]

Half asleep

It was like one in the morning

[hushed coyote]

lol

You wanna talk about joke gods for upsetting though, Ares

Turns out the ancient myths were right, Ares DOES suck at war. Athena inherited all the useful tactics

[rapid forum]

So THAT'S why he hired Kratos

[weary widget]

Ares lusts for war but kinda sucks and is hated by everyone

Athena is wise in war and is loved by everyone

[vapid narwhal]

Hades also commented on how Ares made his job awful because he just mindlessly kill so many people

[jovial sonnet]

that's why athena has the best boon in the game

divine dash babyyyyy

[rapid forum]

Other than blinding flash, divine dash some of her duo boons, don't really like the other ones

[jovial sonnet]

ye for sure

even her legendary from brilliant reposte or whatever is not that great imo

this is kind of a side note but I love cursed slash 🤤

not even a boon but I thought it's really good

I hope I get it the next time I try and do a from start clear

[frigid ginkgo]

I wouldn't have her for cast but most deflects are at least acceptable

[jovial sonnet]

ye absolutely

[frigid ginkgo]

But Divine Dash is perfect

[jovial sonnet]

for sure for sure

I really don't like having the deflect for special or attack tbh

[vapid narwhal]

attack is good on the fists

[jovial sonnet]

ah true

I will remember that

[vapid narwhal]

why bother dashing if you can just yeet all the orbs back at the witches

[frigid ginkgo]

I like on special for the bow

Massive deflect arc

[jovial sonnet]

yo I got this one build where I had five dashes. divine dash, and had dash strike integrated into the combo through a daedleous hammer

[weary widget]

Exposed often isn't bad either

[jovial sonnet]

deflect arc

nice

exposed is good I agree

divine dash and blinding flash is good right?

[frigid ginkgo]

I don't vibe with most of Ares' roster

[jovial sonnet]

ah okie

I like the doom tho

[frigid ginkgo]

Doom is alright but I hate the blade rifts

[jovial sonnet]

I put it on my weaker attacks

ye

blade rifts are hard to land right for me

except the duo boon with poseidon

now that's juicy

[frigid ginkgo]

I don't think I got that yet

[delicate rivet]

You have to do Hunting Blades duo with Blade rift at least once

And some extra casts or mirage shot if you can manage it and Blade Rift that are bigger and pull in enemies.

[south comet]

how tf does zagreus not get demotivated to try to escape?

like every time he goes out he fails

well ya know until he doesn't but you get what I mean

[rapid forum]

He's just that MOTIVATED

[versed verge]

Too dumb too not try

[frigid ginkgo]

Power of friendship?

[vapid narwhal]

well you'll know

not long after

[frigid ginkgo]

I will give bonus points to Thanatos. It takes confidence to narrate yourself like that.

What a silly little man

[craggy barn]

exactly 10 minutes later i realize this was the wrong channel

[nocturne ginkgo]

ooooh

[smoky sparrow]

hedis

[safe scarab]

can anyone confirm that hades is smootj on a m1 macbook?

[smoky sparrow]

idk

[dull niche]

m1?

i play on a macbook pro

[rough token]

it should work, yes

[slow trout]

@rough token Hey Swan while your here. Just jumped on here from a link in the FAQ. Are there brightness sliders in the options menu or when the game is first installed. Thinking of purchasing but worried about that flashy-ness causing problems for me?

[rough token]

There should be a brightness slider in-game, and there are some additional launch options that can be used to reduce some visual effects (I can help more in #h1-tech-support )

[slow trout]

Awesome thank you.

[rough token]

Sure thing ^.^

[rapid forum]

Okay sooooo I was wrong about my escape attempts in my hell mode

It was 6th run when I failed against final boss

I got it by 7th

[drowsy crest]

So can someone explain fishing probabilities to me? I looked at the gamepedia but those numbers aren't even close to my experience

I get legendary fish like 80% of the time

Like I've never even seen a rare or common fish in Elysium. Its always the seamare

[rapid forum]

Have you tried waiting for a bit to get normal catch?

Frankly speaking, this is the first time I've seen someone having trouble with getting common fish

[drowsy crest]

I mean, I'm trying to get good fish, I just know that the probability can't be 1/21 like the gamepidia says

[rapid forum]

Maybe you sucked out everyone's luck

Who knows

[drowsy crest]

oof

[full nexus]

Nope that happened to me for the last area fish

Too many perfect catches

[dense crescent]

The spear is the best weapon in the game, every other one is unusable. That is all

[dull niche]

no.

[dense crescent]

What do you mean no

[rapid forum]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but yours is wrong

Jk I can see the appeal

[dense crescent]

The spear lets me dash around like a crackhead every picosecond

while still getting in great damage

[dull niche]

great damage? spear? pick one

[dense crescent]

Ares

I mean, Artemis

Crit attack is awesome

[rapid forum]

I think he meant aspect

[full nexus]

Yes

[brisk trail]

[austere wagon]

holy im on 1 health lmfaoooo

nvm i healed

[strange adder]

the shield is the best weapon in the game

if you charge your attack it blocks everything

in front of you

[dense crescent]

wretched broker, my beloved

[austere wagon]

i actually really like the shield too

[tepid dust]

the shield became my slowest weapon...

i do love the spear's dash attack though but i dont use it for anything besides dash attacking..

[dense crescent]

spam m1 until you get the upgrade that makes it auto-attack

use that in conjunction with the dash attacks, plus crits

[austere wagon]

hey if i quit mid run

do i get my game saved

[dusky egret]

is hades best on pc or switch?

[full nexus]

Switch has some framerate issues from what I've seen

[full nexus]

You can save and quit after clearing a room

[rough token]

if you press "quit" it will display the last time the game saved

as Astaos said, you can only do so when you first enter, or after you clear, a room

[full nexus]

Yeah just not in the middle of a fight basically

[dusky egret]

so pc?

[full nexus]

I'd say so

[rough token]

I haven't heard of consistent framerate issues on Switch, are you seeing those yourself?

[austere wagon]

so i can do before entering another room after clearing it ?

[full nexus]

Nope, 2 comrades from #h1-high-heat-strategies

[austere wagon]

holy Astaos sounds like another god name xD

[rough token]

yes--if you check the pause menu, it will say if you can save and quit

[austere wagon]

oh yeah

thanks guys

[full nexus]

Schad switched (lol) to pc and Trump 2020 says pc feels much better

[rough token]

huh, aight

[full nexus]

I'm actually the god of trash

[austere wagon]

LMFAOO JAHHAHAHHAA

[rough token]

So Zagreus, according to a certain furious friend of ours?

[weak thorn]

I haven't had any personally

[rough token]

my best guess is that things get a bit more intensive at higher heats

which could cause minor issues

[full nexus]

^

high heat yeah

[weak thorn]

Ah yea maybe with more jury summons

[rough token]

as well as faster enemies

[full nexus]

Zagreus is usurping my title

Well at least the one that Alecto likes

[dense crescent]

I want a slingshot made of candy

this is my greatest desire

[rapid forum]

I want to slingshot my candy

[full nexus]

why

[dense crescent]

the word of god

[full nexus]

strange god

[craggy barn]

deadly flourish, true shot or pressure points?

i still have my base cast so i don't know which to choose

[rough token]

what weapon/aspect?

[craggy barn]

bow, aspect of chiron

i also got rapid-fire

[rough token]

deadly flourish is alright, though personally I go for other stuff--pressure points is also solid, can't go wrong with universal crit chance

[craggy barn]

homing special with a 1/5 chance of doing 200% damage or universal 3% chance to do 200% damage

can't go wrong with 1/5 chance

[rough token]

true

[craggy barn]

on top of +52% base damage, which should be helpful

[rough token]

yeah

[craggy barn]

why do flame wheels sound like cats

[fringe dove]

am i the only one that is bother just a bit about the run animation?

[craggy barn]

yeah, probably

[fringe dove]

looks like something from 2077 😉 but tbh thats the only thing i can point out as of yet that is meh/bad.

[manic moat]

oh man

I guess I just technically finished the game

damn I love this game

I guess I'll try to finish all the prophecies now

[fringe dove]

no spoilers here m8

[rough token]

because the larger ones are lions

[craggy barn]

ok so does that mean domesticated flame wheels might be a thing

[granite ether]

maybe :3

[timid slate]

what is max possible flame?

[rough token]

I believe 63?

[granite ether]

63 on a regular save, 64 on hell mode

@timid slate

[timid slate]

what does hell mode do

[granite ether]

Forces you to have a couple of pacts active always, introduces the personal liability pact which removes the i frames upon taking a large portion of hp in a short time frame (which is also always active)

[timid slate]

-.-

so u can get one shot?

[rough token]

that's part of it, yeah

[granite ether]

If you're incredibly unlucky or put yourself in a situation like that, you can get wombo comboed yes

[timid slate]

wooh looks fun d:

[rough token]

very few things can truly one-shot you

[timid slate]

so people do 64 heat speed runs?

[granite ether]

64 heat hasn't been routed, yet even attempted

Current heat record is 60 by Tailesque

[timid slate]

impressive

[rough token]

on nice, Tailes is still in the lead

[timid slate]

lemme guess, the 3 missing heats is the 7-> 5 min timer?

this one too tight

[granite ether]

Nope, Tailesque does TD3

The 4 missing is from routine inspection 3 and 4

Aka the one that disables the mirror

[timid slate]

ahhh

impressive as hell

im at 5 heats D:

climbing slowly

i can manage till 8 with virtually no diff

[granite ether]

Ayy niceu ^_^

Heat gets exponentially harder especially once you hit 40+

But that doesn't matter if you're having fun with it :3

[true bridge]

could there be a change to Hungover so it behaves more like chill?
in the sense that when re-applied, the timer resets

[rough token]

each stack is tracked separately, which matters for when you have more than one way to apply it deal different amounts of damage

[true bridge]

aah

but from the same source could reset

[hushed pumice]

You're incentivized to reapply stacks

[tired sundial]

Hangover can really rack up damage as it is. So having to reapply constantly makes sense

[supple lodge]

I got the dog a fancy bed, now time to get the cat a fancy bed

and by cat i mean hypnos

[near peak]

the dadeules hammer is OP i went for the ||hydra|| with a sword to get its bounty with it and , my 1st spawn was the hammer that gave me ||20- health of mine but every time i attack a mob i get 2+ health||

its just carried me

[weak thorn]

i generally prioritise hammers when i see them (unless theres something else that i really want especially since usually the game will just offer the hammer again later on)

[leaden summit]

Yeah, you should prioritise hammers unless you are doing something where no hammer does anything worthwhile for you

A poseidon cast build or something like that

[summer thistle]

Hey guys
Idk if I'm right here but
My friend wants to buy hades, he has a switch but also a ps4
I have the switch version and think that it doesn't look very nice
Do you guys think that it'd make sense to wait for a ps4 version (because supergiant games technically didn't say no) or just deal with the switch version?

[south kestrel]

To be honest I don't see how it doesn't look nice on Switch. Maybe it doesn't look good on TV screen, but portable mode looks fine. (in my opinion)

The only downside might be a framerate down at some times, but it happens when there's really a lot of stuff on the screen.

[summer thistle]

(oh yeah I ment it doesn't look nice on tv, sry)

[south kestrel]

(no problem no problem :D)

Anyway, that's a really good question, as for now, there's a big "?" about a ps4/5 release. It's 50/50. It's really up to your friend. Well, sorry, it doesn't really help. x)

[gritty roost]

holy cow ||Aspect of Hera with Dio cast is so bursty|| I love it

[summer thistle]

Still thanks for saying your opinion

[south kestrel]

Np~ c:

[south kestrel]

^

Just played with this build yesterday, I blasted Final Boss

[gritty roost]

just finished the run, I got the +2 cast boon as well to go with it, it was glorious

btw are the non-hidden aspects considered spoiler in here?

[rough token]

Nope, though people will still tag them sometimes

[gritty roost]

aight probably gonna tag them, just to be safe lol

[runic agate]

I am edgy E

[rapid forum]

are you a pizza cutter?

[runic agate]

[brisk trail]

how do i check my boons?

press b

or select/- if ur on controller

[runic agate]

Look at your settings

And find the button you want

Personally I use L<

[brisk trail]

I have mine set to tab

[austere wagon]

yo bois whats the best weapon in ur opinion

which is worth spending titan blood for

[brisk trail]

machine gun ||rama|| is fun and brainless

[austere wagon]

which is rail ?

[brisk trail]

||aspect of rama|| is for the bow

[austere wagon]

nah i cant play the bow tho

im bad with it

[brisk trail]

ahh i see

the build is mostly just holding special

So is ||Charon|| like crazy strong? Or am I just garbage. I got absolutely destroyed triggering that fight ||on accident||

[austere wagon]

i like shield or spear becasue i play really aggresively

[brisk trail]

haha i'm the opposite

||Charon is pretty damn strong||

2 on both sides

[austere wagon]

is shield better or spear

[brisk trail]

I feel like I can hold forward with any weapon other than shield

[austere wagon]

ah

[brisk trail]

I was doing such minor damage, would have been a loooong fight if I managed to stick around long enogh to win

there's no best weapon just use what you're comfy with

[austere wagon]

yeah true

but i wanna know whiich one has the better upgrades

[brisk trail]

||Zeus for Shield is fun. Achilles for Spear is also pretty cool too||

hades aspect (spear) slaps

indubitably

[austere wagon]

i have more foes killed with my spear even though i used the shield quite often is this a sign that i should use the spear xD

[true quartz]

Hey can somebody tell me what the quality of fish you catch depends on. Is it just random?

[austere wagon]

U CAN CATCH FISH ?

OH GOD

TIME TO GRIND

[brisk trail]

if you catch the fish within about 1/3 of a second of the bobber going under, you get a perfect catch

this ensures that you at least get the rare fish, and unlocks the potential to get a legendary

[true quartz]

So its all timing and i just have to get good

[brisk trail]

yeah

Ah my old man reflexes aren't up to that

[true quartz]

Alrighty time to practice

[brisk trail]

you get the hang of it eventually

average human reaction time is .25 seconds for visual and .17 seconds for audio

so reacting to the big sploosh can help you there

You're making a bold assumption that I'm an average human

[south kestrel]

Funfact, there's a tip if you play on switch ; just hide the light with your finger. You'll be focused on the little spark that appears when fishy bites

[austere wagon]

where should i spend my renovations on

work order ?

i mean

whiich one should i spend more on

[south kestrel]

The stuff that gives you bonuses during run, might gold from jars etc

The 1st tab

[void vigil]

other than the work orders tab, the renovations are all cosmetic. so its recommended to complete work orders first

[austere wagon]

yeah so i should always try to upgrade that right

alright then

i have wasted too much on the hall then xd

[brisk trail]

should i go for theseus first or minotaur?

[south kestrel]

Personnally, I always go for minotaur 1st

[tender oxide]

I go for Asturias first so I don’t have to deal with him and Theseus’s ||call||

[austere wagon]

whats theseus and minotaur

[tender oxide]

3rd boss

[austere wagon]

oh i just fought him

and lost

theseus is the bull?

[tender oxide]

No

Asturias is the bull

Theseus is the bronze dude

[austere wagon]

wait hold up

im still at the bull then

is that 3rd boss

[brisk trail]

miniboss

[tender oxide]

You can get Asturias as a miniboss

For the actual boss you fight both at once

[austere wagon]

oh yeah

yeah yeah

i fought both of them

but lost

[void vigil]

@austere wagon please dont evade the swear filter!

[austere wagon]

ooops

my bad

for theseaus

theseus

do i attack from the back only ?

since he always hold a shield

[brisk trail]

yeah

[austere wagon]

alrighty thanks

[void vigil]

fun fact: in early access if you killed asterius before theseus, theseus would summon chariots to help him

[south kestrel]

._.

Thank gods it was removed

[sweet coyote]

well he lowers his shield after performing a move @austere wagon so not alaways

[distant night]

he always lowers his shield going into stage 2, you can do massive damage in that time (even if the gods are after your butt)

[tender oxide]

If you have a call use it then

[strange adder]

lament of orpheus underworld mix slaps so hard

[runic agate]

@distant night I am edgy E

[distant night]

laughs at theseus' second stage with artemis ultra call

[runic agate]

I love smacking the crap outa theseus

[buoyant flax]

can i keep giving up uintil i get the right dialogue to unlock a secret aspect?

[runic agate]

??

[strange adder]

kind of?

[distant night]

giving up isnt the same as dying

you have to die to continue the dialogue

[runic agate]

Giving up resets to before you left the house

[distant night]

giving up throws you back at the last savepoint in the house of hades

[buoyant flax]

yea but give up until i get the right dialogue

and keep playing

[runic agate]

You have to die.

You can't give up.

[distant night]

if you mean "give up" with "continuously dying in tart chamber 1" then yes

[buoyant flax]

oh okay

thx

[smoky sparrow]

stupid bone hydra

keeps killing me

[distant night]

yeah it likes to do that ;-;

[smoky sparrow]

stupid boss

[distant night]

take maybe one run to purely learn its moves? since thats the only way you can really train on getting better at beating them

[smoky sparrow]

Alecto is thicc

[distant night]

and her blades are slicc

[smoky sparrow]

ye

[buoyant flax]

are the dialogues for hidden aspects hard to get?

[smoky sparrow]

Hades very kool game

[full nexus]

Conditions to fulfil then it's random in the dialogue pool @buoyant flax

[distant night]

not really, you just need to hit the prerequisites and talk about the weapon multiple times to the certain person

[buoyant flax]

[full nexus]

I did not bother and I unlocked them all at some point

it's chill

[smoky sparrow]

hedis

hades kinda reminds me of Warframe for some reason

[supple lodge]

gosh i need better strats than button mashing and brute forcing and hoping things turn out ok

[atomic relic]

doom is just viral with hunter munitions

[distant night]

it usually starts out with button smashing, train a bit on skelly if you wanna get good strats :)

[atomic relic]

it starts out as mashing

and then it becomes strategic mashing

[distant night]

and ends with mashing

[atomic relic]

yep

lmao

[distant night]

:D

at least farm runs are just casts -> everybody falls over

[supple lodge]

skelly doesn't move around, i find it hard to practice on skelly

and also skelly doesnt train u for floor hazards like lava floor that i always accidentally dash into like an idiot

[atomic relic]

@distant night thanks to advice you gave me about a month ago (?) i beat the game then with shield and just beat it again with spear. i want you to choose the next weapon i try with

[latent sundial]

whats the best thing to choose from eurydice

i always get pom porridge

[atomic relic]

plus i just dont know which one to try now

[distant night]

you can practice your moves while enemies are stunned tho, and generally get a better feel for your weapons (like get a better feel of spear range or the dashattack damages)

[supple lodge]

ooooh

[smoky sparrow]

Hedis

[supple lodge]

hades: "hypnos has an important job to do!!!"

also hades: does nothing about hypnos sleeping all the time

[smoky sparrow]

haydes

[distant night]

i'm so happy to have helped you! idk what to really tell you next tho; if you want to maybe try bow with priviledged status behind you? 👀

[smoky sparrow]

haydis

heydis

[atomic relic]

i had a feeling you would say bow LMAO

[distant night]

do you mean, hadeez nuts

[atomic relic]

ight bet

bow it is

[smoky sparrow]

lmao

[distant night]

good luck and much fun!

[atomic relic]

i have chiron aspect so it should be interesting

[distant night]

ohh but not on lvl 1 right?

[atomic relic]

yea im just doing base clears right now

for all weps

then ill go up in heat for each

[distant night]

i mean chiron on lvl 1, not difficulty

[atomic relic]

like on lv1 of the aspect?

if so yea

i only got 2 blood rn to spare

[distant night]

ahh yeah, chiron on lvl 1 is a pretty big downgrade

you really wont feel its actual might on that level

[atomic relic]

so should i just use zagreus aspect then?

[distant night]

yeah that'd be better

but as soon as you get eough blood to level chiron, go for it!

[short hinge]

tried to """"speedrun"""", cleared a thanatos chamber and than went a 5m distance back and forth like seven times for no reason before dropping the heart

[prisma wind]

Huh, I thought that bug was fixed ages ago

[craggy barn]

fist users: space+space+space+click+click+click+click+click+click+q+q+space+q+q+click+click+click
bow users: click easy :)

[atomic relic]

me spamming bow special with doom clearing out rooms

[distant night]

you can just hold down the left mouse button

[atomic relic]

but how do you know it goes if you dont click

[distant night]

stop murdering mouses that arent the ||tiny vermin||

[atomic relic]

lol

[distant night]

honestly changing my controllsfrom q for special to rightclick for special and q for cast was such a gamechanger

will my mouse be dead before 2022 probably? yes

[south kestrel]

Hahaha, about this one, I literally used Hydro Cannon against it lately.

Gun hidden aspect, triple attack, and Poseidon attack, and Poseidon/Zeus duo

[craggy barn]

ok so anyways

[distant night]

supersoaker meme!!

[craggy barn]

very important question

[distant night]

amen

[south kestrel]

Personnally worried about my joycon

[craggy barn]

how do i talk to ||bouldy||

[south kestrel]

Poor switch endured 200h+ just with hades lately

[distant night]

you get sisyphus to talk more about him

[supple lodge]

i wonder how hard i'm limiting myself by binding all the controls to keyboard

[distant night]

pain

[supple lodge]

i just yoinked my hollow knight keybinds

[distant night]

it sounds like pain

[supple lodge]

z is attack
x cast
c dash
directional arrows for movement

[craggy barn]

are you seriously playing hades without your mouse

[indigo flint]

Not me with 20+ hours in hades even tho I got it 5 days ago

[distant night]

i mean if you are used to it, you do you

[supple lodge]

yes

[indigo flint]

I need a life

[supple lodge]

i didn't play celeste or hollow knight with a mouse either

[south kestrel]

Actually, it seems that for example, Gun is really easier to use with mouse

[supple lodge]

every game is celeste or hollow knight to me because i'm a 5head

[indigo flint]

I play on switch so

[distant night]

but it's worthwile with the mouse options of not dashing to mouse but attacking to mouse

[supple lodge]

when you think of it, zagreus is just climbing mt. celeste but underground

[indigo flint]

Dashing on mouse I would presume isn’t that good

I put my dash on A for my switch controller

[distant night]

it'sdisgusting

[craggy barn]

celeste and hollow knight are fine but hades???????????/

[south kestrel]

Climbing to actually get to the surface beneath Mt Celeste

[indigo flint]

My attacks on switch are all bound to the ZR ZL R and L buttons

[distant night]

whatever you get used to is ok

[supple lodge]

i'll let you in on a secret

i don't have a mouse

[distant night]

this is the only thing you might miss without a mouse

[supple lodge]

hmmm

[indigo flint]

R and ZR is attack/special and L and ZL is cast/call

[distant night]

everything else is personal preference

[vital sand]

Now that I beat the game the first time, there's only one QoL feature I wish for.

[indigo flint]

What

[vital sand]

Have it be possible to scale down God Mode on first completion. Since I beat it at 36%, I could adjust it to like...30%

[indigo flint]

Why not just turn god mode off

[distant night]

or restart it to be at 20%

if you feel like you still need it

[south kestrel]

Hm, might be a bit overkill, because suddenly you take 36%+ damage

[indigo flint]

Wait did you beat the game or beat the final boss?

[south kestrel]

Or you can go with Aphrodite build, Weaken is useful when you decide to turn off god mode

[distant night]

they said first completion

[indigo flint]

Cause you need to beat the final boss like 10 times before you reach epilogue

Oh then keep it on if you think you need it

[timid slate]

i mean i only tried god mode once

xD

made it to 22%

[distant night]

10times is true end

[indigo flint]

I’ve never tried godmode

[timid slate]

then be like : damn too noobish

nah

[supple lodge]

just realized i forgot to turn godmode off

[timid slate]

i was curious

[supple lodge]

currently it's on 32%

[distant night]

epiloge is 50+ beats

[indigo flint]

How does god mode get more percentage

[distant night]

you die

[south kestrel]

Mine is like 40%+ x)

[vital sand]

Every failed run with it on

[south kestrel]

But don't care, god more is here for a reason

[distant night]

20% first and every failed run is +2%

[craggy barn]

how good is an aphrodite build?

[supple lodge]

i was like wondering if god mode was like assist mode in celeste then i found out hey why doesn't this give me invincibility

[distant night]

max is 80%

[indigo flint]

And what does it do

[distant night]

veERYy

[vital sand]

Starts at 20% when first turned on, then adds +2% mitigation for each loss

[craggy barn]

i mean there is the boon that makes enemies take more damage while weakened

[distant night]

you get 20% less damage

[south kestrel]

Brain dead, possibly

[indigo flint]

Why not just go shield

[distant night]

+2% every time you die

[indigo flint]

Block everything

[supple lodge]

is there a cap to godmode or can you die enough times that it goes to 100% damage mitigation

[distant night]

cause some people dislike shield

[indigo flint]

But if you need less damage

Use Aphrodite

[void vigil]

the cap is 80%

[indigo flint]

Weak helps

[supple lodge]

oooh

[distant night]

it's personal preference

[supple lodge]

80% is a lot

[indigo flint]

Why not just go Aphrodite

[distant night]

but you need to also die alot

[distant night]

cause aphro sucks in early game

[indigo flint]

True

But then again if you need less damage

[distant night]

still

if you hate aphro why not go godmode with dio

[indigo flint]

Spas you the pain of dying that many times

[distant night]

you dont get any repercussions for it

[indigo flint]

Also what about different league

[distant night]

you can still play the game with a tiny pillow of constant weak

[indigo flint]

That resists damage

[distant night]

5-15%

[south kestrel]

Her Weaken debuff is timed, and you need to make a build with it, which prevents you to make something else, since you're bound to 4 gods

[indigo flint]

Wait you’re bound to 4 gods?

Never knew that

Just thought my luck was garbage

[distant night]

you get 4 gods without forcing

with forcing i think 7 is max

[indigo flint]

Does Hermès count

[south kestrel]

I just learnt it 2 days ago

[distant night]

no

hermes is like hammer

[indigo flint]

Aight makes sense

[distant night]

you only get 2 hermes boons max

same with hammer

therefore he doesnt count

[indigo flint]

You can have 3 hammer with anvil tho

[distant night]

those are random tho

[indigo flint]

True

I once messed up my entire build when I did that

[distant night]

same

[craggy barn]

which weapon is it best with

[distant night]

i was desperate for serrated point

[indigo flint]

I had railgun and the thing that gave extra damage when you use special

And like absorb it

[distant night]

did you get hazard bomb?

[indigo flint]

And I was using the rocket launcher that shoots it ahead of you

And so I was close range doing well

[south kestrel]

Anvil is a real lottery, really

[indigo flint]

Then I got hazard bomb

[south kestrel]

Use it really if you already got poor synergy with your current hammer(s)

[indigo flint]

Couldn’t use my build

[south kestrel]

Or to complete Anvil's lore

[distant night]

hazard bomb only does up to 10 damage i think 🤔

[indigo flint]

Yeah but I had stubborn defiance

[distant night]

but i am not so sure about it

[south kestrel]

Which one is hazard bomb?

[indigo flint]

And I was already kinda low

[distant night]

oof, no athena/||demeter|| duo?

[south kestrel]

I mean, what does it do?

[indigo flint]

Nope

I didn’t get stubborn roots

[distant night]

the rail hammer that makes your special do i think 400% damage but also damages you

[indigo flint]

I didn’t see Demeter that entire run

[distant night]

force her

[indigo flint]

I hadn’t gifted her nectar yet lol

[void vigil]

you can actually get boons from all the gods in one run, its one of the monthly challenges :D

[indigo flint]

That was kinda early

[distant night]

HOW

[south kestrel]

Ohh, this one! I see, thank you!

I'll try this challenge huh, seems fun

[distant night]

8 gods and your first forced most of the time gets put into the 4-gods pool

https://tenor.com/view/confused-math-what-wtf-peep-gif-6081931

heck sometimes your asphodel forced gets the fourth seat of the 4 god pool

[prisma wind]

Check the pins in #h1-builds-and-combat if you want details on the challenges

[south kestrel]

Going to check that indeed, thanks c:

[prisma wind]

There are 2 for December

[distant night]

i know where the challenges come from but how do you get all gods (excluding chaos and hermes ofc)

i misunderstood everything

sorry ladds

[prisma wind]

With some good RNG in Tartarus and then forcing the rest with keepsakes

[distant night]

that must be some insane rng in tart

[void vigil]

you can watch bright01's run from the challenge as an example, which includes chaos and hermes

[distant night]

@-@

[void vigil]

thats all of them!

[south kestrel]

Good thing, there's no || heat || restriction, I'll give some tries then!

[coarse pasture]

does anyone know if i can use Hades music in my youtube video?

[distant night]

oh dang i forgot Fated Authority

[lament stump]

When using Magaera companion is there a way to control the direction of the circles?

[weary urchin]

the circles will always appear perpendicular to where zag is facing

[lament stump]

Thank you!

Is there a benefit to giving Bouldy Ambrosia?

[leaden summit]

you can do it every game for a minor buff(can be anything really, think 5% cast damage or 7% gold or something with that power level)

I would not do it if you have to conserve nectar

[lament stump]

Okay cool. Thank you!

[strange adder]

just beat ||EM4 Hades ||pog

[frigid leaf]

poggers

[brisk trail]

this game is my favourite dating sim

[molten depot]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/348151957111701517/793191566499381268/unknown.png?width=902&height=432

5 more to gooooo!

[ashen parrot]

My build this run is looking goooooood.

Attack Deflect, +50 Dash damage (Artemis), +57% dash damage (Chaos), Double Attack (Daedalus)

[brisk trail]

heroic crystal beam or epic trippy shot?

[leaden summit]

idk do you have any duos or prerequisites for duos?

[brisk trail]

nope

i dont even fully understand what duos are or how to get duos yet

[leaden summit]

duo boons require certain boons from 2 gods and give you some combination of their skillset

they are usually really good

without taking duos into account I would say trippy shot

[brisk trail]

i think ill get frost strike instead of swapping trippy for crystal

[leaden summit]

but if you have something from artem,is I would prophably get crystal beam and hope for a duo

[brisk trail]

what does it mean if my athena boon is normal color but with a purple outline

is that normal?

[leaden summit]

yes, that's the color for epic rarity

[ashen parrot]

Trippy Shot, but I'm hardly using it

But I have a boon from Artemis that shoots arrows when I land hits

So basically I just dash around like a madman and mash the M1 and everything dies

[viral wolf]

are there any uploads of the Infernal Trove encounter music? it's simple but I do enjoy it, I wanted to see if anyone's recorded it in full

[ashen parrot]

Hooooooooly crap.

That was an easy win.

[zealous harness]

Shot in the dark in case anyone knows 😄 if you own the game on the epic store and buy it on steam, will the achievements get unlocked as well?

[narrow hemlock]

your save should exist in the same folder as far as i remember, so it should ping achievements. however the only ones that are retroactive are ones that can only be done once in a save, any that can be done across runs will have to be done again

[zealous harness]

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it 🙂

[languid anvil]

man doin full poseidon runs is so insanely stupid

you breath near an enemy and they just blow up

[south comet]

do yall ever use the shield?

shield makes me feel like I'm cheesing the game

Are there any attacks that go through the shield?

[manic bobcat]

Traps.

(Not arrow ones, the one you need to stand on)

[supple lodge]

Athena can't protect you from the floor spikes

[brisk trail]

I gave up on the game

This game

Called hades

Is mega hard

And so fun

I played it a bit for 6 hours i think and i only got to the area after meg to only die at the 2nd room

[south comet]

that's a roguelike for you

[pliant sparrow]

relax it takes 20-30 hours on average to get first clear

then thats when the fun begins

[limpid crown]

20-30 hrs? :o

[brisk trail]

In my case it was a bit over 40 but I'm usually bad at these sorts of games.

This is a "long haul" game. Each run will nudge you a bit further, be it in skill or resources. In fact, watching the story unfold after having a lot of difficulty has been the most rewarding feeling I have ever experienced in any game.

[tepid pulsar]

hi guys

I finally got to see the credits

[brisk trail]

And also, no shame at all in turning on God mode

[tepid pulsar]

[brisk trail]

Same Razor. Saw them a few hours ago.

Incredible game, I tell ya.

[tepid pulsar]

and is not over yet

so much stuff to unlock and do

[rancid vapor]

How is it that with the Zeus keepsake I find: 1 Zeus, 4 Athena in Tartarus?

[silent pumice]

Seed might have not had any Zeus in it to start.

[pliant sparrow]

i believe its called "rng"

[opaque nexus]

fun fact (which is basically just saying what a word means): many of the songs in Hades are diegetic meaning the song is heard by and takes place in the universe the characters are in

such as orpheus singing

[frigid ginkgo]

The cruelest of gods

[pliant sparrow]

i had a 7:50 elysium then i got tiny vermined and 3 sacked 😩

[rancid vapor]

guess I'll play something else today, cba to deal with this

game gives me a common attack boon and continues to spit in my face

[manic bobcat]

I mean you got rocket triple which is A+ tier combo

and cast build with lightning phalanx on eris is nice

[rancid vapor]

I had to use this build because zeus wouldn't show up

then I came to the conclusion: I don't have to

[manic bobcat]

smart conclusion
