So, what's interesting is that I think all runs in Hades are at least theoretically winnable
Some might be more difficult than others if your RNG sucks, but it's still possible to evade attacks and win with a bad build
manic bobcat

Yup, up to 32 heat for sure.
brisk trail
At heat 3, that kind of skill is still a bit magical for me. 😄
manic bobcat
Yeah I think the question is at what heat can you reliably do streaks on. And so far, the highest one is 40 heat with like 40 wins in a row or something.
dull niche
ok bablo’s just insane
manic bobcat
I think Retrash did 45 heat on 5 or 6 wins (not sure though)

that’s correct

Am I the only one who when fighting Theseus and Asterius intentionally lures them to the top-left part of the arena so the one shade cheering for me gets a better view of the fight?

"Now that Early Access is over, what's next?
Once we're sure our v1.0 launch has settled, our small team will be taking a break to recharge, and plan what's next. We'll be excited to say more about what's in store for us just as soon as we're ready."

A hades DLC would be lit tho
I’d buy it
Or if they go the enter the gungeon route and just give it to us for free
That would be even more awesome

The last informal update I saw was from Caitlin who said it during the Game Awards night. She said they were solely focusing on getting Cross save and minor balance patches out of the door.
Cross save comes and goes. No news since.
manic bobcat
Well they usually announce things when they are ready, like, really ready to push it through.
indigo flint
Cool
manic bobcat
So I suppose it's possible. But cross save came out just before Christmas. Given it's SGG, I think they are vacationing, still (nothing wrong with a well deserved break, just saying :D)

Anyhow ima try and unlock secret sword aspect
Idk who I gotta talk too or how I trigger it

I mean the main story is done. What's left is the ||epilogue|| where it will answer questions such as:

How will the Olympians react when they find out Zag lied to them?

Hey guys, I just beat 100% achievements (Steam) and was wondering, what is rewarding to do after beating the game? I'm not sure it will be still fun to just farm currency to max weapons, etc.

if u did all the achievemnt best is to completed all weapons

Try finishing all prophecies, maxing all bonds, completing all bounties, challenging yourself by making the game more difficult

High heat climb, or doing streaks on high heat.

I try to maintain a 32 heat streak (to the best I can).
You can do a self-impose daily run like Sinvicta Isaac series, for example.

sissaaaaaayyyyy
manic bobcat
by gawd it's pin

Nice! That's a lot I can do
wild ice
what i play the best is the gun and de sheild are most OP xD
max waht u can do buy all contracts
hexed sphinx
Is it possible to max out all weapons? Cause it seems it requires a lot of titan blood and, as far as I know, we only get rewards until 20 heat, not sure if is still that way
wild ice
yes
manic bobcat
yeah
hexed sphinx
xD sure
winter harbor
Yeah, you have basically infinite everything
Just trade for stuff at the brokers or fish or complete bounties, stuff like that
wild ice
true
manic bobcat
yeah but heat gives you most of the way there
wild ice
why would it stop after heat 20 for rewards? :p
winter harbor
I don't know why 20 specifically, but my guess is that they thought that was the highest heat that would be reasonably doable for everyone
hexed sphinx
My highest is 16 (did it today)
manic bobcat
Yeah my guess would be that 20 is the heat that they think everyone can do
brisk trail
ye
manic bobcat
keeping things accessible, essentially

I kinda like the positive feedback loop of doing harder heats to upgrade your weapons so you can do harder heats to upgrade your weapons

I always thought the one that stops giving rewards was 32

No, 32 is only a cosmetic award

My memory is that the original reason was "it would be funny" and it was

According to the Codex, these chariots are from Nemea, home of the Nemean Lion. Because Greek Mythology is Like That™️, the drivers of these chariots trained so hard that they formed bonds with their vehicles, like rednecks wish they could do today, bonds that infused the chariots with life in the vein of their visage, a lion face.
The small chariots are small lions, i.e. cats, therefore they meow before they suicide bomb you.

Worst feeling in the world is when you aren't using approval process, and get two boons for a god despite them having more left because you aren't lucky enough

I watched Amir and Greg stream their development of the game this one time. They have a spreadsheet of every time that happens. In that stream, they broke into a maniacal laughter as they watch a player die after not being able to get their Duos and Legendary. They said they keep a spreadsheet of every crossed out Duos and Legendary, make sure it is up to date and check it every day. They have it pinned as a memo in the middle of the office with info to keep morale up.

Hey maybe this is a noob question, but is there any way to tell which olympian each boon is from during an escape attempt? I'm looking through my boons while paused and it's hard to remember which ones came from different places and it would help me to know.
weary widget
Each colour relates to a different god
exotic fjord
Yeah
And there are different icons
Zeus is a lightning bolt
Aphro is a heart
Athena is a sheild
Poseidon is a blue trident
Ares is a red trident with some spike thingys
severe remnant
Right, I guess I don't see any associated colors or symbols on the boons in the boon pause menu
exotic fjord
The icons are under their portraits
It’s kinda faint but it’s there
Also your fine
I had a hard time figuring out who was what when I started out
severe remnant
Haha I feel like I'm blind, I really can't find anything on the screen like you're mentioning 😂 maybe that's good feedback for the devs to add that or make it more apparent?
exotic fjord
Maybe lol
severe remnant
I would attach a screenshot but I can't in this channel

upload your image elsewhere and link it here

to make it easier you can literally just make your own personal discord server to throw stuff onto 👀 then you wont have to go through imgur or whatever else
exotic fjord
Lmao
pliant sparrow
Each has unique colors
Zeus is yellow, artemis is green, ares is red, etc
You can also put ur cursor above the boon to see what it is
severe remnant
exotic fjord
Oh
severe remnant
pliant sparrow
Pink is aphro
exotic fjord
Oh wait you don’t have the thing yet
pliant sparrow
Red is ares
exotic fjord
What run are you on?
severe remnant
like run 30 or something
exotic fjord
Oh
It’s in the codex
The watermark thing is under each God’s portrait in the codex
severe remnant
right right, but for this boon focused in the screencap
I know its aphro
but only because it has hearts
exotic fjord
It’s also pink
severe remnant
for all of the non obvious ones, we need to look them up in the codex
exotic fjord
Only Aphrodite is pink
exotic fjord
Then they aren’t from an Olympian
It’s just what aspect your using
Or hammer upgrades
Or maybe a buff from a well
severe remnant
hmmmm so anything from Olympian is distinctly colored?
exotic fjord
Yeah
severe remnant
Still seems unclear for noobs, it would be really helpful to have a "source" for each boon in the bottom left corner
exotic fjord
yeah lol
severe remnant
haha thanks for the clarification, much appreciated
exotic fjord
Np
severe remnant
Awesome game btw, I've played all of the supergiant games and this is one of my faves so far honestly
tribal sierra
I am not familiar with the rail
So what hammer upgrade is ideally for Zeus
It's delta chamber, rocket bomb and explosive fire
radiant estuary
Delta Chamber
Mostly because Rocket Bomb works best with boons that give a percentage boost rather than a flat increase, and Explosive Fire's main benefit is a bit irrelevant when you have Zeus on attack
brisk trail
RIP Explosive Fire.

Why is that?

And the slow doesn't proc in that case?
spice hearth
I think it would although, the main benefit Edo was talking about was the explosion, not the slow

It used to outright stun enemies, like other physical attacks will.

In the myth, Theseus is seen as a great hero, yet at the same time he abandoned a woman who betrayed her own country because she loved him and helped him to go through the labyrinth, and forgot just to change the veils of his ship 
Maybe beside that, he still accomplished great deeds, he did after all.

Theseus is a true hero. Is abandoned by his people, dumps a girl who gave everything to him, and only killed the monster with help of others
A true greek tale, showing the point of many Greek myths. Mortals are useless. Which funny enough is why the greek phosphors are so well known cause they disagreed with the ideals painted by ancient Greece so much

the shield the ability to block and throw ur shield from far distances rail has a huge rain with its normal and special , and the chiron has nice range but the reloading of the special is a bit slow

Eris rail is always a good bet, Hestia if you want to manually reload.
Since you like fast ranged, maybe Eris

Eris rail does no wrong- a maxed out eris rail can basically just chuck boons in slots and win (on lower diff)
All the rail aspects are good, but they definitely want the full five levels

What bow aspect
sonic sequoia
Chiron

Volley
near peak
also i just realised i used the spear twice and got my best but with the other stuff i tried multiple times and just barely defeated the ||hydra|| and wiped in elysium
sonic sequoia
With why volley and I don't think volley helps with bosses
paper stirrup
Boss damage is an area where Chiron doesn't need help
fading gazelle
I don't pick it cause it helps, but it's the others would screw me over
paper stirrup
But it does need extra punch for armor room clear
sonic sequoia
Guess u are right
paper stirrup
Also, if it's hammer 1, Piercing volley will crunch hydra heads
sonic sequoia
Oh bet

**im still deciding wut to use my blood on**
What's your fav weapon?
near peak
with spear point blank shot is my fav currently , but i also got a hammer upgrade with a sword that gives me 2+ hp every time i attack a entity
which is just broken
paper stirrup
That hammer also cuts your max HP by sixty percent.
fading gazelle
I personally hate that hammer
near peak
yeah i think by 30-
fading gazelle
But that's just me
manic bobcat
Triple shot piercing volley or chain shot
Triple is still the correct choice imo
fading gazelle
Triple would screw the reticle wouldn't it?
manic bobcat
But damage though
sonic sequoia
Im getting a lot of arti this run lol
near peak
imma go try and use bow with no aspects to defeat meg or her sisters so i can get 6 bloodlines and then make my choice
paper stirrup
If you only have 50 HP, yes, that will be 30 HP lost- but it's 60%. It also affects every future heart and HP gain
fading gazelle
Ik but they're new to this and are using chiron

Special build for the gun can also be really good

Y'all think drunken strike with chiron bow works

Y'all think drunken strike with chiron bow works
im using that rn-
sonic sequoia
Lmao
manic bobcat
Drunken Strike, no
sonic sequoia
I got arti on the special
weak thorn
Drunken Flourish, *maybe*
Very inefficient though imo, since if more the 5 arrows hit those extra arrows aren't doing anything
You'd NEED the aphro duo
manic bobcat
Put your Hangover on dash
near peak
sad
manic bobcat
If you really want to get duo
near peak
i use drunken strike and bad influence to increase its dmg more
sonic sequoia
Ima just take positive outlook
near peak
with the bow
sonic sequoia
I'm getting nothing but grape man and arti what the mess
weak thorn
For chiron either use art/aphro/dem on special imo
You can also do aphro on attack + ares on special if you get the right ares boons and their duo
But the setup is harder since you need quite a few boons before it starts working properly
manic bobcat
Zeus is also ok
weak thorn
Artemis/aphrodite on special are considered the best due to doing the most damage
Dem on special is nice for a more defensive build
sonic sequoia
Arti on special with PV hunters mark on chiron
manic bobcat
Despite icd, Zeus is good on Chiron
weak thorn
Zeus on special is kinda meh due to the cooldown on lightning
sonic sequoia
I just beat the big purple crystal and took no damage
manic bobcat
Zeus on special is kinda meh due to the cooldown on lightning
I'm aware, it's still good.
weak thorn
Or so I've been told, i need to actually try it myself to see just how many lightning strikes you actually get
Especially when you get like the +4 arrows hammer
manic bobcat
I mean Arty on special is still ideal imo
sonic sequoia
Clean kill arti aid or arti attack
manic bobcat
Especially with concentrated or relentlessly volley
weak thorn
Aphro attack + artemis special and their duo is kinda pog
paper stirrup
Zeus on bow special is... pretty bad. >.>
manic bobcat
Clean kill arti aid or arti attack
Clean kill
paper stirrup
Found that out the hard way
sonic sequoia
Bet
weak thorn
Artemis aid is nice for bosses imo
paper stirrup
I like artemis call, the bar being 5 segments of 20% instead of 4 segments of 25% means that you can more easily trigger buffs from boons that go off when you call

On the bright side, I actually finished the run

sometimes u question ur self why u are playing and wut life choices u did to come to this point
which is the best aspect of spear i rlly dont know

noble hinge
Hades aspect is badas
near peak
welp i can get achille's to lvl 3 while hades to lvl 2

Speen hits like half the screen

Bru zag aspect just sucks on everything huh

Not really

max zag on bow is decent
noble hinge
It’s decent on shield imo

Zag bow, zag rail, and zag fist are great
noble hinge
Used it until I got hidden aspect

Tho you have to max them, but they're cheap
paper stirrup
Ask yourself thid
Do you spin attack
Are you okay with it being SLOWER
If the answer to either is NO
Hades is not for you
And pick Achilles

i dont even use spin attack its just an annoying trick for me

Cruel Thrust because it messes with you the least

Dash Nova requires you playing around it, double nova loses the knockback which can be a big deal

It's one of those things you don't miss until it's gone
Cruel Thrust, however, is all upside

Thanatos needs a copy of 'Your Emotions and You'
supple lodge
First thing he says to zag sounds like a threat lmao
"You left, without so much as telling me goodbye. I suppose you know I'd catch up with you sooner or later, is that it? No escaping death, and all?"
paper stirrup
When playing Nemesis Sword- heck, pretty much any sword- Double Edge is a great hammer (Dash strike hits twice and for bonus damage). Sword dash attack is a large part of it's game for both mobility and offense
sonic sequoia
I'll take it if I see it 100%
paper stirrup
Super Nova (Special is larger, Minor damage increase) isn't impressive, but it's honestly one of the better hammers for sword because almost every sword uses it's special
sonic sequoia
Makes sense
paper stirrup
For picking hammers, general guidelines for what to pick, from highest to lowest priority
- Does this hammer improve what my build is doing or supposed to do?
- Does this hammer give me a new option worth using?
- Does this hammer give me a minor benefit?
- Which option doesn't hurt me?
- Which options hurts me the least?
sonic sequoia
Will need to keep that in mind
paper stirrup
Also important to note that you can only get 2 hammers per run, and the second one can only show from Elysium onward.
sonic sequoia
I did not know that thanks actually
upbeat sable
There is a possibility to get a third Hammer buff but that requires the anvil being present in styx
and the anvil itself is RNG reliant
it removes 1 random Hammer buff and grants you 2 random Hammer buffs in return
paper stirrup
Above is also accurate.
upbeat sable
And it also costs 300 ish obols
paper stirrup
275!
sonic sequoia
Damn

close enough
that's like 2 fully upgraded gold pots
or 2~3 rooms with Side Hustle
not a big difference

i just entirely died to a glitch in the game, got a blessing from chaos which (for 5 attack encounters you will take -5 health then after gain max +35 health) the encounter didn't even lose 1 encounter. thanks to that my run got ruined

north spire
nope, not at all @craggy barn . I had a blessing that took my health by %65 in exchange of 2 health every hit, i've hit enemies, and i had about 5 different boony things that upgraded my max health some were +20 some +34 and some 30+ etc
the encounter just didn't even drop once, i clearly read what it was that's why i took the blessing
weak thorn
F10 in game
north spire
each swing killed me, and then my death defiance activated, and also my health from that finished and then i died from swinging and taking -5 each swing, which it should've ended after 5 attacks
weak thorn
you can report the bug
north spire
okay thanks @weak thorn
north spire
yes
rapid forum
i already lost all of mine lol
generally speaking if you want to gamble to "upgrade" your build, it's fine
weak thorn
thats not a bug then you just misunderstood what it was saying
north spire
that doesn't make any sense at all @weak thorn ... for 5 combat rooms each sword swing takes -5. who in the hades can survive that???
weak thorn
you use the special/cast
rapid forum
yep
north spire
it wasn't a special or cast encounter
weak thorn
once you get used to it those ones aren't that bad they just stop you from using one type of attack
north spire
that's why i wasn't taking the damage while using either of them, neither did the encounter go down
weak thorn
encounter = combat room
when you clear one room with enemies in it the number will go down
say you get a "-5 health each time you use your attack for 5 encounters", you just have to clear the next 5 combat rooms with your special/cast
north spire
so none of you got this blessing from chaos then? 5 encounter = rooms you say, each swing deals -5 health damage to me, how in the hell am i suppose to out heal or even survive that?! that is not how that blessing worked
restive thunder
ooh, we're talking about that chaos boon, i see. i've had it before, proceeded to get showered in enemies best dealt with by using the attack i just locked off. also a miniboss and a boss 
weak thorn
we've all had it multiple times probably, the best way is just to use the special attack/cast attack instead of your main attack
upbeat sable
Which weapon did you have?
weak thorn
i don't know how to explain this any better someone please help 😭
north spire
only Q and special? wow.. i would be dead in the chamber i was in, i wasn't in Tartarus, Asphodel, i was in Elysium
using only q and special for 5 different rooms would be ridicilous idk
restive thunder
spear. thankfully it was only tartarus and the furies aren't that bad, but still...
north spire
i had the Stygian Blade
upbeat sable
Blade can do decently without attack
weak thorn
taking a boon like that in elysium is kinda dangerous unless its something that you're ok with not using (for me i dont use cast too much so i'd pick a "-5 health each time you use the cast")
upbeat sable
atleast you didn't have Exagryph
weak thorn
yea with the blade you just have to spam the special
its not great but if thats the situation you're in its probably just not a good idea to take that boon
north spire
that run i had was so good, i was expecting to proceed much further and even beat minotaur and his pal without a problem
upbeat sable
what were the other options?
north spire
that encounter thing i got was a suicide encounter of some sort
restive thunder
that boon must be hell with exagryph, ngl
weak thorn
depends on your build
upbeat sable
imagine that thing with Dem Gauntlets
weak thorn
there are special based rail builds that it would be fine with
north spire
my build was perfect, i don't tend to take boons if there are max life + rooms, i have my own way of fighting out
upbeat sable
Maimed anything would be hell for Lucifer Rails tho ngl

can you proc hellfire with your cast?
i mean detonate

i think so, it seems to detonate with any sort of damage

molten nymph
death defiance
austere wagon
but i struggle to fight the 3rd boss
and everytime
i need 1 more chance
i cant kill one of the boss
molten nymph
think about it like this
skelly is just +100 hp you get if you die
cerberus gets you +50 flat out
and then you get half your health back per DD, so 25 per DD
austere wagon
but also health is very important because i always take unnecessary dmg
molten nymph
if my math/memory isn't wrong then that should be uh... 125?
austere wagon
oh

how much damage does the bull deal per hit again
