Spoiler tag the name

[near kelp]

Luckly some generous souls were willing to gift me stuff

Yesterdey I managed to 6 six bloodstones on the ||Beowulf|| Shield

I think it was with the Demeter cast

Then I died to ||Hades||

He's still my run killer

[arctic zenith]

I personally don’t like hidden shield

Only like Zeus shield

[craggy barn]

what even are bloodstones

[near kelp]

After I've stopped using the Recharge Mirror upgrade

[arctic zenith]

The cast

[near kelp]

The 3 second bloodstone one

[craggy barn]

oh those

[near kelp]

Always taking the 3 bloodstones

[craggy barn]

apparently that's what they're called

[near kelp]

Load everything into a single cast

Wham

[craggy barn]

i got 7 of them once

[near kelp]

That and Artemis cast with that shield

Plus pressure points and supportive fire

It's actually good for a slow weapon

Oh I can't send screenshots

Eurydice just upgraded my Zeus Attack and Special to the next rarity

[supple lodge]

Every time I am reminded of the fact that the final boss is ||Hades|| I think: ||Hades is a game where you go through Hades to fight Hades||

[near kelp]

Ultra stonks

[arctic zenith]

Oh how does Demeter cast even work with hidden shield

[supple lodge]

||Hadesception||

[near kelp]

It's just a nuke that chills

I was worried it would drop a turret but no

It's just a nuke

[arctic zenith]

Oh

[craggy barn]

i wonder just how powerful is support fire, thunder flourish and maxed aspect of chiron is

[brisk trail]

Jesus Christ, there exists a 25min speedrun for this game and I'm struggling to beat the final boss after 25 hours...

[near kelp]

The true goddess of nukes is still Aphrodite

I got him in my 25th run I think

[craggy barn]

got him on uhh my 27th i think

[supple lodge]

I'm on my 50-somethingth run

Furthest I've gotten is ||phase 2||

[craggy barn]

can't be bothered to go check the admin place thing

[arctic zenith]

I mean a modern ares would use a nuke

[brisk trail]

took me about 20 runs to win

[near kelp]

First time I beat him was with the crutch Daedalus Lifesteal Stygian Blade

[supple lodge]

modern athena would use a chessboard

[onyx arch]

Where can i have support for an issue im having with the game?

[wispy yarrow]

I did it oh woo that was a rush I've got cramps in my thumb now lol

[brisk trail]

#h1-tech-fixes , if nothing works there then #h1-tech-support

[craggy barn]

lifesteal is an absolute crutch no matter how squishy you are

[onyx arch]

Ok @brisk trail

[near kelp]

Yeah

[brisk trail]

tfw 15 hp hidden spear

[near kelp]

The other way I kind of realiably defeat him is

[wispy yarrow]

What's the status effect that ||Hades|| gives you in the fight?

[craggy barn]

cursed + flurry

[near kelp]

Dodge Fists + Plume

[craggy barn]

fists is just really good in general

[brisk trail]

boiling blood. u take double damage

[near kelp]

Hidden Spear sucks and wish it didn't because I love spears of that type

[arctic zenith]

Double damage

[craggy barn]

that and supportive fire + dio's attack boon

[near kelp]

Fists + Artemis hype

[craggy barn]

it makes you take double damage, so try not to get hit by those skulls

[brisk trail]

demeter aspect with artemis special :D

[arctic zenith]

Talos fists are too good

[wispy yarrow]

Can I post screenshots here or is that a no?

[brisk trail]

Do most people here have a gamepad?

[craggy barn]

the one that makes you grab enemies?

[arctic zenith]

Ye

[brisk trail]

I use keyboard

[craggy barn]

you can post a screenshot in a different server, copy the link and then send it here

[near kelp]

KB+M all the way

[supple lodge]

taking notes

[arctic zenith]

I physically cannot use keyboard

[brisk trail]

me but with controller

the way it functions is not compatible with my brain

[craggy barn]

i don't see why people think it's such a big deal when you can only move in 8 directions playing with a keyboard

[hushed schooner]

is it bad i havent traded with the broker once yet

[wispy yarrow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/776836436275363843/794942874898006036/unknown.png I made a meme-y loadout for my hoarding tendencies and I still managed it lol

[arctic zenith]

For me it’s because I’m on switch

[brisk trail]

umm could i post some picture?

i want to post something

[near kelp]

Honestly, I love KB+M but I have to be real

[craggy barn]

richest man alive

[near kelp]

If you're not gonna use the mouse or the keys for typing

The Keyboard is kinda whack for gaming

[brisk trail]

nahhhhh

[craggy barn]

send the screenshot in a different server, copy the link then send it here

[near kelp]

40% movespeed Hermes boon

Hype

[outer girder]

Didn't know people were having problems with the last boss since you can upgrade yourself so much with the mirror. Also there is god mode that gives you 20% damage resistance in the settings.

[near kelp]

I am speed

[wispy yarrow]

I've got god mode on and it's at 50% but shhhh

[brisk trail]

boss anxiety

[wispy yarrow]

I'm no gamer

[outer girder]

You have problems with the last boss with... 50% damage resistance?

[brisk trail]

ill never use god mode but I really appreciate its existence

#h1-tech-support message

hope that helps 😄

[wispy yarrow]

Not many problems, no

[arctic zenith]

Same

[wispy yarrow]

I need it for the traps

[brisk trail]

thinking about starting a hell mode save after I finish my main one

[wispy yarrow]

Hot hot lava

[outer girder]

Hell mode?

[arctic zenith]

Yeah

[brisk trail]

celeste?

https://hades.gamepedia.com/Hell_Mode

[arctic zenith]

Permanent pact

[brisk trail]

it's basically just my excuse to play the game again LOL

not much changes after early game

[near kelp]

My GOD teleporting flame wheels

[brisk trail]

anybody play hades on linux? am i the only one :"

lmao

[craggy barn]

teleporting flame wheels

man

[outer girder]

Meh

I like difficulty but that just sounds too much.

[craggy barn]

you're gonna have to do skelly's prizes at some point

[outer girder]

Starting the game with the pact of punishment, while you don't have any upgrades sounds brutal.

[craggy barn]

we all do

[brisk trail]

already did

[wispy yarrow]

What's an ||Erebus Gate?||, spoilers because I'm not sure if it is one or not.

[brisk trail]

32 really wasnt that bad

challenge room that activates based on heat

[craggy barn]

does it have any good rewards

[brisk trail]

flawless the room = doubled reward/rarer boon

if u get hit u get, well.. I'll let you find out on your own

they need 5 heat to be active in tartarus

[arctic zenith]

You have to have a certain amount of heat and you have to get a perfect

[wispy yarrow]

I learn more everyday

[arctic zenith]

10 in asphodel and 15 in elysium

[wispy yarrow]

Though, uh, perfect though...... might be tough for one such as me lol

[craggy barn]

if you get hit you die instantly and your save file is deleted and the game is removed from your steam library, correct?

[brisk trail]

yeah

[arctic zenith]

Yes

[brisk trail]

Erebus rooms really get my heart pumping for some reason

[outer girder]

Yeah, it also deletes system 32.

Rip computer.

[brisk trail]

even moreso than the final boss

[craggy barn]

it also kills your entire family

[outer girder]

Yeah.

Hate that when it happens.

[wispy yarrow]

I think I'll hold off on those gates then

[tacit ember]

ah yes

[arctic zenith]

Also steals food

[craggy barn]

but if you flawless it you get a nice boon :)

[arctic zenith]

Or +50 health

[tacit ember]

it download 2 terabytes of yes on ur pc

[wispy yarrow]

A very strong if

I'm very much a, kill everything before it kills me and I'll think about the damage later, type of guy

[brisk trail]

theyre pretty easy in tartarus ngl

[arctic zenith]

Oh no

[brisk trail]

just kill the crystal dudes and witches first

[tacit ember]

ah yes

that 2

[brisk trail]

sometimes they spawn flame wheels though

[wispy yarrow]

I've still a ways to go before 5 heat though, and only 2 diamonds so far so I'll worry about that later

[craggy barn]

the brimstones can do a lot of damage if you're not careful but if you are being careful you should be able to make short work of them seeing as they're really squishy, like one or two-shots most of the time

[arctic zenith]

oh yeah I hate doomstones

[tacit ember]

what r the styx stones called

[arctic zenith]

The most annoying thing in this game

[brisk trail]

snakestones

[tacit ember]

ah ya

[craggy barn]

snakestones 🤮

[tacit ember]

https://tenor.com/view/snake-octopus-stone-transform-gif-5056825

snake stone

[craggy barn]

stone, indeed

[arctic zenith]

snake stone

[outer girder]

Can I get a legendary boon that just removes the snaketones thanks.

[wispy yarrow]

I quite like snakes

[tacit ember]

https://tenor.com/view/stealth-snake-hidden-sneak-sneaky-gif-19645540

[wispy yarrow]

The snakestones on the other hand...

[tacit ember]

lmao

imagin

existing

cant relate

[craggy barn]

dusa could have given us a keepsake that simply removes snakestones but nooo the game needs to be hard.

[tacit ember]

wow

actualy

no

the keepsake

[brisk trail]

im also like this

[tacit ember]

sould make gorgans be nice

and they will folow u

and fight stuf

[arctic zenith]

Can I get a legendary boon that removes doomstones from the ||em4|| ||hades|| fight

[tacit ember]

ha

u know

||hades ||can sumon

the stuped

[arctic zenith]

Hey

[wispy yarrow]

So how do you reveal the fourth aspect for the weapons?

[craggy barn]

if you don't have something that breaks armor more easily armored snakestones are going to give you a very bad time, like skelly said

[arctic zenith]

Spoiler tag

[tacit ember]

guys that make enimes invincible

[brisk trail]

pins in #h1-story-discussion

[tacit ember]

skelly sayes that?

[craggy barn]

yeah i think so

or maybe it was hypnos

[tacit ember]

ok

also

[supple lodge]

skelly 🤝 hypnos
advice you probably already know

[tacit ember]

do the zagreus aspects only cost 1 blood per upgrade

or is that just the sword

[brisk trail]

all

[tacit ember]

huh

Me: dies from witch
hypnos: lmao just don't get hit

[arctic zenith]

But Hypnos tells me to move out of the way and I didn’t know that

[craggy barn]

hypnos is poggers

[arctic zenith]

yes

[wispy yarrow]

Aw, I already miss my coin hoarder loadout, it was nice getting 20+ coins per enemy

[arctic zenith]

What

do I have Hypnos brain rn

[wispy yarrow]

Ah, damn, no coin boon from Chaos this time

[arctic zenith]

I always see Hypnos’ hair tufts as hands in his bond forged icon

He peekin

[supple lodge]

uselessness runs in the cthonic family

zag: i dont need your help

than: i insist

also than: slays like 2 foe in the room while zag nabs 30+

[true quartz]

Well not thans fault you keep on killstealing

😂

[supple lodge]

zag: ...

than: don't look at me like that, i was NOT trying to help, now do not let a word of this go to anybody >:(

[tacit ember]

anyone exist?

[supple lodge]

Have you tried existing

[wispy yarrow]

Hm, I don't think I will

[tacit ember]

lmoa

imagin existing

this post was made by buddhist gang

[manic bobcat]

budist

[tacit ember]

what do u mean

im so good at spelling

[restive thunder]

dionysus to me: never liked theseus. never liked him one bit.

theseus a few battles later: summons dio, who happily helps him

[supple lodge]

Probably just did it for the lulz

"Lmao look at this 5head asking me for help does he know I stole his gf"

[azure violet]

lol i got second wave from poseidon but i dont really notice a change what does it do. It says it knocks back more

[tacit ember]

it does 2 times

[azure violet]

i feel like its kinda bad tho

[tacit ember]

i mean

its good

because

if ur in styx

there much walls

[azure violet]

i would prefer if it knocked foes back farther instead of more times

[tacit ember]

and if u have the enimes that get pushed into walls take damage

[azure violet]

also typhoon fury is so op in styx

[tacit ember]

its 2x damge

[tacit ember]

why

its 2x damage

for knockign into walls

and stuf like that

[azure violet]

no i mean the legendary

[wispy yarrow]

I like the Poseidon boon that damages your enemies when they move after you hit them with the waves

[tacit ember]

yes

[azure violet]

yea same

[tacit ember]

i mean like

if enimes that get knocked into walls

take

100dmg

then second wave

will push then 2 times

then its 200dmg

[azure violet]

oh i see

[slow quarry]

hammer or poseidon
I have 1 hammer boon
and 3 poseidon boons
what do I do?

[indigo plover]

See hammer take hammer

Always

[timid slate]

yep

see hammer take hammer

wise words

i dont do that with excalibur tho

xD

its fine on its own

[indigo plover]

You get 2 hammers per run, take them when you see them

Excalibur has some good hammers

[timid slate]

like?

shadow slash ony probably

[indigo plover]

I like the increased aura size

[timid slate]

kek i dont even use aura

:D

[indigo plover]

What!

[timid slate]

maybe only with higher heats

base dmg man

the 2500s crits

i liek big numburs

[indigo plover]

Yeah it has great base dmg, but lay down that aura and just slash away

The huge slowdown is very beneficial as the aura also acts as a projectile shield

[timid slate]

i mean sometimes when i see atremis door, i just go in

hammers comes and goes xD

cursed slash excalibur is fun too

[indigo plover]

I prefer cursed slash on all the blades except excalibur lol

[timid slate]

i never take cursed slash on anything but excalibur lol

other builds lacks dmg

beside posedon

since it works like caster anyway

[indigo plover]

That's funny how polar opposite we are

[timid slate]

xD

my fav is rail tho

and shield is my archenemy

[pliant sparrow]

cursed slash on ||excalibur|| is such a meme tho

the attack speed is super slow and ur negating the high health aspect of it

[timid slate]

hermes daddy takes care of my attack speed >:(

[pliant sparrow]

plus ur screwed for final boss because ur aura doesnt even protect you

[tender oxide]

Shield is really good but it’s painfully slow especially if you use ||beowulf||

[pliant sparrow]

since he moves around a lot

[brisk trail]

use dio cast stygian soul for hidden shield

[pliant sparrow]

im pretty sure ||beowulf|| can one shot most boss phases with the right build

[timid slate]

shield hidden aspect is just another aspect depenedant build

its my least hated shield

[tender oxide]

On sword hidden aspect I got the hammer that heals you when you attack but lowers your max health by 60% and it was really good

[gritty roost]

finished a run with ||beowulf|| yesterday, made me hate the shield even more

[timid slate]

how come man?

its all about ur casting xD

did u use crush shot?

[tender oxide]

Aspect of Zeus shield is my favorite

[timid slate]

crush shot easy +1k dmg

[tender oxide]

But I don’t really use shield anymore fists are much better

[timid slate]

all fists is just too much fun

[tender oxide]

Yes

[timid slate]

i did fists hidden aspect with dio attack D:

u just dash around and inflect wide AoE hangover

the dash attack is big range

melts ppl

[tender oxide]

I still haven’t unlocked hidden aspect even though I’ve done heat levels 0-8 with fists

I never get ||Asterius|| as a miniboss

[timid slate]

D:

[tender oxide]

I just use aspect of talos

[timid slate]

talos my most hated xD

[tender oxide]

I like the magnet because at max level it increases damage output to effected enemies by 50%

[timid slate]

but fists dmg is terrible

u gotta pair that with support fire

and zeus strike

[tender oxide]

Not with the right build

I use ||demeter|| on attack and try to get support fire and I’m set

[timid slate]

meh

[tender oxide]

I don’t take anything for the special because it seems like the game keeps giving you boons until you fill the slot

[timid slate]

zeus strike + support fire is big dmg on both rails and fists

[pliant sparrow]

yah zeus is great at anything low damage, but fast

[tender oxide]

I’ll try that next time then

[brisk trail]

dio attack is p good on fists too

[timid slate]

dio attack on fists is kinda pointless xD

u dont deal extra dmg, just apply hangover fast

[brisk trail]

a really fun build I had was dio attack, ares special, aphro dash on zag fists

and all of the duos between the three

[timid slate]

i only use dio attack on hidden fists

since the dash attack hits huge area, easier to apply

[brisk trail]

I dont use hidden fists

[timid slate]

and ares special

so maim + doom

dio special is great too with chrion

u apply x8 stacks with a single skill

[pliant sparrow]

you should try zeus attack with hidden and poseidon dash and seastorm

unlimited lightning :D

[timid slate]

super soaker?

[slow quarry]

best weapon in the game?

[pliant sparrow]

but for fists

[brisk trail]

ares attack on chiron with dio special 🤔

[timid slate]

super soaker is hands down most fun build till now

[pliant sparrow]

since you have a ton of dashes

[brisk trail]

there is no best weapon

just use what ur comfy with

[timid slate]

RAIL BEST WEAPON

[slow quarry]

what is super soaker?

[gritty roost]

Dio cast on Hera though

[pliant sparrow]

"best" weapons are hidden bow, hidden shield, eris rail

[timid slate]

blasphemy

hidden bow so fun

[pliant sparrow]

but its pretty debatable

[late creek]

Hey i just got the game, anyone want to chat while we play. Maybe give me some tips?

[timid slate]

tails does wonders with it

there is a 51 heat unseeded boonless run with it

mad

i struggle clearing 15 heats D:

[pliant sparrow]

yah fs, you can ask questions in #h1-for-new-players if u get stuck

[brisk trail]

hidden bow currently has the highest heat clear

60 iirc

[novel wasp]

if theres japanese dub i would pay for japanese dub

[timid slate]

ye tails op

[novel wasp]

Japanese dub hades

[timid slate]

well me too

[novel wasp]

hades is just anime in disguise tho

[timid slate]

JAPANESE APHRO

gife

[slow quarry]

whats hidden bow?

[timid slate]

|| rama ||

[gritty roost]

question tho

do you guys pet Cerby everytime you came home?

[brisk trail]

idk if there'll be a dub because the game has 20 thousand some voice lines

yeah

[timid slate]

ofc

[azure violet]

yep

[gritty roost]

most important part of the game

[timid slate]

20 thousands?

wtf

well there is tons of dialogues

so probably correct

[brisk trail]

[novel wasp]

i cant believe they put aspect of Jesus into the game

[timid slate]

hypno is madlad

aspect of jesus?

wherz

D:

[gritty roost]

lol tisiphone and charon, I wonder how a conversation between the two will go

[near kelp]

Man Charon has my favorite voice lines

[timid slate]

HNNNNNG

[near kelp]

HURGHHH

[timid slate]

xD

MUUURURUURRRRDEEEEEDDEEEER

[novel wasp]

before they released aspect of ||lucy|| i was like "100% bet gun will have a christian reference and i want aspect of Jesus to shoot roman's tear"

[timid slate]

tisiphone is bae tho

[near kelp]

I was actually thinking it would be someone who uses a gun

[novel wasp]

salty, roman tears

[near kelp]

Like a modern war hero or something

[novel wasp]

tbh if it were that it would be aspect of glock

[gritty roost]

Aspect of Billy The Kid

[novel wasp]

where instead of a chaingun he pulls out a glock

[near kelp]

Aspect of the 12ga Double Barrel

[novel wasp]

"eat 9mm you heathens"

[near kelp]

Aspect of Doomguy

[novel wasp]

Aspect of 50 cal

wait thats aspect of hestia

Hestia looooves her 50cal

[timid slate]

wherz my hestia tho

[novel wasp]

do you wonder why hestia never married to anyone?

she married to her .50 cal

[timid slate]

:O

i mean we dont have fire power

why supergaint why

:(

[pliant sparrow]

6 shot piercing gun would be Pog :o

[novel wasp]

and she gave birth to a beautiful imi desert eagle 50 ae

[near kelp]

It would be pretty hype if fists had

The Aspect of Rocky Balboa

[novel wasp]

The aspect of The World

[pliant sparrow]

It would be pretty cool if there were aspect of robin hood bow

[near kelp]

Hypothetically, if Zagreus got in Smash

Would we get

The Aspect of Little Mac

[pliant sparrow]

or a samurai sword

[novel wasp]

Aspect of Kitchen Gun

[brisk trail]

KITCHEN GUN!

[novel wasp]

Aspect of Barry Bums

for sword i asked for Aspect of Kiwame Japan really

[near kelp]

Chiron Bow has been my favorite weapon so far

[novel wasp]

"now I will make a knife out of lernie"

[near kelp]

Incredibly enough

aspect of the 500 degree knife

[novel wasp]

not 1000

[near kelp]

I don't remember

[novel wasp]

Aspect of Kitchen Wife

[near kelp]

Doesn't 1000 just straight up melt most metals?

[gritty roost]

how cool it'll be if the hidden aspect for the spear is Cu Chulainn

[true bridge]

I wish there were a hermes boon that increases dash length

[tender oxide]

That would be pretty cool but hermes boons are already overpowered enough as it is lol

[gritty roost]

well the purple (epic?) tier can give you like +3 dash

it'll make up for the length lol

[tender oxide]

Yeah

[gritty roost]

zoomies

[tender oxide]

You can also get +40% move speed

[gritty roost]

moar zoomies

[tender oxide]

The most overpowered boon though is dio’s that refills your health to 50% after each room

[near kelp]

That's kinda wack

The best Dio boon is the one that fills you to full on fountains

[tender oxide]

Or ||demeter|| and Athena’s duo that automatically regenerates your health if you have no death defiances

[viscid moss]

ive started really appreciating single bar dio calls

its really good AOE when you dont got much

[near kelp]

Yeah I always run with the eternal defiance one

[tender oxide]

If you have 50% health after a chamber you’ll be filled to almost full hp anyways

[near kelp]

But it does give you 3-5% extra damage

[tender oxide]

That’s not enough to really matter

Especially when attack boons do +60% to +100% attack damage

[viscid moss]

by the final fight its a fairly decent % boost to all your damage

doesnt it also increase the damage for those boons tho?

[brisk trail]

its additive damage so it really isn't that much

[tender oxide]

It stacks on and it’s only a 5% difference per fountain

[viscid moss]

i feel like its solid for a cast run tho

since the base damage on cast is always higher and bonuses are harder to come by

[dull kraken]

can i leave a bossfight and come back so i can restart it with full hp?

[viscid moss]

ive tried to force quit once and it counted as a "give up" so... dont think so

[dull kraken]

i mean it saves after i enter the fight

[pliant sparrow]

yah but it wont allow u to quit

[dull kraken]

why would it save at the final fight

[pliant sparrow]

it saves after you enter

so you can quit before you start an encounter

[viscid moss]

^

[pliant sparrow]

not mid encounter tho

but im on mac so it might be different for windows

ive heard some contradictory reports

[viscid moss]

alt+f4 doesnt even work in a room, and ending the task would be the same as hitting "Give Up" in the menu

for me at least

[near kelp]

Oh boy time to fight ||Charon||

But jesus christ he hits hard

[distant night]

:)

[viscid moss]

|| after beating him a few times, then thinking you can take him in tartarus ||

[distant night]

when you have one attack boon and see the ||"borrow" ||option

[dull kraken]

when can i gift a nectar to hades?

[viscid moss]

much later in the story is the spoiler free version of it

[dull kraken]

i already did one

but i cant do another

[distant night]

you're at the locked heart, right?

[dull kraken]

yes

[distant night]

gotta finish his favor

[dull kraken]

i need to see whats in there

[distant night]

reach the true end and talk to him :)

[viscid moss]

yea || you need to clear the underworld at least 9 times || (minor spoilers)

[dull kraken]

should i just switch to easy mode?

[distant night]

it's exactly ||10|| times

[dull kraken]

to get it

[distant night]

if you have issues with it, yes

[near kelp]

Only if you're not a real gamer

[dull kraken]

i dont have issues

it takes more time to think about what i do and how i do

like if i play hard mode i usually get defensive stuff

[distant night]

thats ok

[near kelp]

IMO it's not worth it if you're not having real issues with the difficulty

[dull kraken]

unless the game wants to give me a mythic boon

[distant night]

try your best, if you have huge issues ask here or use god mode

[dull kraken]

ew

no way

delete that option

[distant night]

the asking here?

[dull kraken]

no

god mode

[viscid moss]

if youre no longer having fun with the game, its a good time to try god mode

[distant night]

god mode helps when you really struggle

[viscid moss]

you can always turn it off afaik

[distant night]

like if you havent gotten a single clear in about 100 attempts

[brisk trail]

What does god mode do exactly? Does it literally just make you invincible or is it just like an aid for fighting?

[near kelp]

I'd say 40-50 is the time to activate baby god mode

[dull kraken]

i have 4 total clears and i'm on a 4 clear streak

4 in a row

[distant night]

first it gives you 20% damage reduction and every death it adds 2% up to 80% damage reduction

[brisk trail]

I see

[distant night]

nah thats normal

[brisk trail]

Never actually used it myself lol

[dull kraken]

i never used it either

[near kelp]

I'm currently on my 4th or 5th in a row

[dull kraken]

do i have infinite revives?

[distant night]

infinite revives?

[dull kraken]

god mode

[distant night]

no

only damage reduction

[dull kraken]

ooh

[timid slate]

ffffffs

[dull kraken]

i thought it makes you completely invincible

[distant night]

it would be op if you got infitine revives

[timid slate]

i went hidden bow and took twin shot + explosive shot

now my attack takes forever

._.

[viscid moss]

from the wiki: "You get 20% damage resistance, increasing by 2% for each death, capping at 80%"

[distant night]

no it just makes it easier for the non-regular gamers

[dull kraken]

i'm a gamer

i got isaac 30000000%

[brisk trail]

Having accessibility options is always good

[viscid moss]

big part of hades is the story and characters, god mode lets others experience it as well

[near kelp]

I mean yeah

[viscid moss]

also, some people dont need a challenge to have fun

[near kelp]

If the difficulty is stopping you from enjoying the game

[distant night]

exactly

[near kelp]

Then having an acessibility mode is good

[distant night]

nobody forces you to ever use it

[near kelp]

I'm kinda on the fence for "acessibility modes" in games, as in, difficulty stuff

[distant night]

it doesnt even help you that much if you first try it tbf

[near kelp]

Like, for some games I don't think it would be good

But for most games it's not a bad option to have

[distant night]

hmm

when is an accessability option truly bad tho?

idk i find it nice that the game devs think of their fans that are less... gifted in the gaming department

[near kelp]

I'd say when making a game easier makes it less fun

[viscid moss]

its the sekiro discussions all over again

[distant night]

lol

[viscid moss]

i think some games having a single difficulty is fine, at the end of the day its up to the consumer to decide what to get

hades has a slew of difficulty options with heat already

as well as hell mode

[distant night]

well aslong as the accessability isnt crazy easier it's just nice to know your non-gamer friends might be able to play the game too and enjoy it with ya

[near kelp]

Yeah, base hades is already the hardest of Supergiant's games

[timid slate]

woot cleared 20 heat

hidden now op

ps : twin shot + explosive shot combo is cancer

op dmg, but cancer

[near kelp]

I'm still doing 6 heat

[brisk trail]

The highest heat I've gotten to so far is 16

[timid slate]

my prev heat record was 13

[brisk trail]

Pleasing skelly is what gave me the stregth

[timid slate]

xD

but i seen tailsque doing 51 heat boonless run

with hidden now

and i was like : I CANT BE THAT TERRIBLE FFS

[viscid moss]

tailsque plays the game a lot

its a lot of practice

tho hes definitely good

[timid slate]

yeah

[viscid moss]

obviously

[timid slate]

obviously xD

[distant night]

31 heat and i just cant get 32 D:

[timid slate]

he got the current world record of heat

EM4?

[distant night]

idk why but the juggling just sucks D:

[viscid moss]

juggling?

[brisk trail]

I personally don't care too much for heat, but it can be a nice change of pace if you want some variety in your runs

[viscid moss]

EM is a great way to spice up the game, especially at the highest level

[brisk trail]

Yeah, I especially like the Lernie fight with EM

[viscid moss]

||plus you get to listen to Unseen Ones||

[brisk trail]

[viscid moss]

lernie can be so horrible depending on the head you get

[near kelp]

This reads strangely

[brisk trail]

lol

[distant night]

well i know which punishments i like and which i dont with certain others sooo it's pretty hard for me to juggle high heat options (like i have nothing against BP2 but BP2 with FO2 just sucks the life out of me)

it's not about difficulty i just give up in the middle of the run if i feel it too much

[timid slate]

ermmm

my most hated pack is Approval process

T.T

[distant night]

AP2 can make a regular run interesting

[viscid moss]

take breaks between zones, i feel ya

[distant night]

i cant because then i'll lose the zone and just suck infinitively lol

[timid slate]

ugh i spend 60 hours by now

[novel wasp]

stalker intensifies

[timid slate]

times flow fast

[distant night]

stalker?

[novel wasp]

you are now lost to the zone

[distant night]

lmaoooooo

[novel wasp]

yep

russian simulator

[distant night]

i know

forgot other people know it too

[timid slate]

how come there is no 64 heat run

ppl is bad

xD

[viscid moss]

wait till you decide you wanna buy everything the house contractor has on offer

[novel wasp]

because you have to play with a n64 controller

[timid slate]

just wait me few yrs and ill do it

[distant night]

then do it ;)

LOL

[timid slate]

xDD

[viscid moss]

^

[novel wasp]

play 64 heat with n64 controller

[void vigil]

you can get tips on 32 heat in #h1-high-heat-strategies! theres a pinned post there with some advice

[novel wasp]

or else you are a coward

[timid slate]

me is lord of cowards

[distant night]

are there tips for getting discouraged mid run 👀

oh goddess sorry i @ you

[timid slate]

i get discouraged when my boons is terribe

i feel like : jump in deez lava pools

xD

[distant night]

[void vigil]

[distant night]

[novel wasp]

||tho its torture to use rama||

[timid slate]

i was like this at first

[near kelp]

I just sad the Guandao is a whack weapon

[timid slate]

[viscid moss]

[novel wasp]

to tatz, im like a horror movie villain

[craggy barn]

probably a combination of both

[novel wasp]

I managed against Hades with Bull Rush Shield and it paid off

[novel wasp]

okey its ready @distant night

[distant night]

[analog reef]

[distant night]

what if thats what the fountain in the end if made off

[novel wasp]

its very hard to get the blade rift image

since no one posted it XD

[analog reef]

I mean, it's a good bit to cut out

[novel wasp]

so i had to boot the game and screenshot the blade rift in game

[analog reef]

Esp. with all the art around it and INSIDE it

[novel wasp]

wonder why that took so long

[brisk trail]

ive never played kid icarus

[timid slate]

aight i wanna do big number build

guidance pls

[novel wasp]

step 1

[timid slate]

yes

[novel wasp]

step 2, excalibruh

[timid slate]

[novel wasp]

step 3, get hunting baes and profit

[timid slate]

hunting baes?

[near kelp]

Isn't Artemis better for fast hitting weapons

[brisk trail]

zeus

[novel wasp]

have you seen 6k damage

one hit

[timid slate]

i didnt ;-;

[brisk trail]

I have seen an 8k crit

[near kelp]

I prefer taking Aph or Demeter with Excal

yeah but it's kinda inconsistent

[brisk trail]

well duh

it does enough damage anyways

[novel wasp]

yeh

[timid slate]

arte and aphro duo

mad dmg

[novel wasp]

also hunting baes play the game itself

[timid slate]

maybe some uncle chaos epic spices

[novel wasp]

just remember to use your kidney stones

[timid slate]

the problem that when i take arti and ares

i end up playing bayblades

[novel wasp]

thats what hunting baes are

[brisk trail]

problem?

[timid slate]
