hushed schooner
#

cool

distant night
#

since it throws you back to the last savepoint

hushed schooner
#

so i can just restart the run?

distant night
#

yeah

#

i think the give up option is mainly there for when you or an enemy is stuck so it doesnt hurt your streak

hushed schooner
#

wdym stuck

distant night
#

sometimes some enemies can get stuck behind the outside walls

#

it's a very rare glitch but no game is perfect

ornate bear
#

huh, never seen that happen

hushed schooner
#

but its also there for if you just want to restart the run for whatever reaosn

distant night
#

it happened to me in elysium shadegrief

#

of course

arctic zenith
#

same

distant night
#

if you feel like you forgot something

ornate bear
#

is it still possible to damage them outside the walls with certain attacks?

distant night
#

sometimes if you're very lucky

#

i was unlucky and had the sword that time

supple lodge
#

are you penalized for using god mode

distant night
#

wha

#

no you arent

arctic zenith
#

no

supple lodge
#

ahhh ok

hushed schooner
#

i have noticed it displays god mode clears separately form

distant night
#

your only penalty is that the game will feel especially hard when you turn it off muhahahah >:D

hushed schooner
#

non god mode

#

through runs where i forget to turn it off at the start

supple lodge
#

shhh god mode is for practicing

hushed schooner
#

like before

supple lodge
#

i need to learn how to dodge

distant night
#

ik ik

#

you still get no penalty for using it

supple lodge
#

or as my favourite boy puts it
"trying to move out of the way"

distant night
#

it's just mentioned int he administrative stats so you know how much better you got

ornate bear
#

||gilgamesh|| dodges are so fun combined with greatest reflex. just constant dodging forever basically

supple lodge
#

mmm

#

On my average no godmode run I can get up to ||phase 2 mr hades||

#

lol, pressed attack in the house and zag said "i only wish"

ornate bear
#

lol

supple lodge
#

wow i just talked to than in the house and he didn't disappear

#

what is this, a christmas miracle

arctic zenith
#

rare

supple lodge
#

christmas isn't even gonna be here for like

#

11 months

#

i cant believe the thanatos dialogue this time was actually normal

#

i was fully prepared for him to complain again

wet nimbus
#

Whoa I just encountered something insane

#

I got the legendary Poseidon boon as my starter 😂😂😂😂

#

I’ll take it lol.

supple lodge
#

grats, you have uncle fish blessing

warm fable
#

i just got 2nd clear

#

i got the first one last night

arctic zenith
#

uncle fish man

supple lodge
#

i gave thanatos nectar and he got mad shadegrief

warm fable
#

i apparently am pretty good at killing ||hades||

supple lodge
#

im almost able to kick ||hades|| ass without godmode

distant night
#

:O

#

you go terry!!!!!!!!

arctic zenith
#

NICE

supple lodge
#

thanks haha

#

omg am i being called terry

distant night
#

thats your nick

#

idk how else to call you shadegrief

supple lodge
#

this nickname was just a joke lmao, its a reference to the death accountant named terry from the movie soul

distant night
#

omfg

arctic zenith
#

OH

supple lodge
#

you can call me mendy or mendely, haha

obsidian flint
#

what weapon should i upgrade first with titans blood ? i cant beat hades. Any tips ?

tender oxide
#

What weapon do you like the most

distant night
#

well then, you go mendy, kick ||father dearest's|| ass!!!!!!!

supple lodge
#

hahahahaha

obsidian flint
#

the sword is kinda nice cuz of that lifesteal upgrade

supple lodge
#

also thanks to Terry i mentally hear it's Thanny time every time Thanatos appears

obsidian flint
#

i got to hades few times in a row with that

#

but he is quite hard with the sword i suppose

supple lodge
#

brb changing nick again

hushed schooner
#

got a briliant run so far

#

got epic divine dash

distant night
#

oh ok

wet nimbus
#

Poseidon gave me legendary fishy boon which is terrible since I’m not very good at fishing guess here is my chance to learn

hushed schooner
#

just beat meg easy

distant night
#

oh dang chloe thats a very nice saviour

distant night
hushed schooner
#

also rare divine strike and epic heartbreak flourish

distant night
#

good luck!

#

ohh which weapon?

warm fable
#

how do I unlock ||hidden aspects||

wet nimbus
#

Thanks

hushed schooner
#

fists

#

aspect of zagreus

distant night
arctic zenith
#

no matter how much i look at the hypnos bond forged icon it just looks like his hands peeking out of the badge/portrait thing.

arctic zenith
#

YES

wet nimbus
#

Nice tip @distant night

distant night
#

sure thing

wet nimbus
#

I needed that since I’m not very good at fishing 😂

distant night
#

i feel you bro, got my first legendary 200h in shadegrief

ornate bear
#

also for fishing, it's better to pay attention to the sound rather than watching for the bob to drop - auditory reflexes are faster than visual reflexes

wet nimbus
#

This is is insane since it was my first boon no prerequisites

#

I was like whoa that happened

ornate bear
#

I had that happen once too

hushed schooner
#

this is destroying asphodel so far

supple lodge
#

uncle fish gives you big catch

supple lodge
distant night
wet nimbus
#

I used sword for mine and shield

distant night
#

like athena being the first ever boon you get

wet nimbus
#

I tried both and they worked

distant night
#

the first 10 runs i think are all with scripted first boons

wet nimbus
#

I think they should create the three fates as an npc honestly

#

I think I would be a neat idea

hushed schooner
#

well eurydice chamber next

#

this is going be amazing

distant night
#

idk if that would be possible

#

since the three fates arent always portrayed to be in the underworld

arctic zenith
#

what is the requirement for the “made friends along the way” flavor text on the clear screen

distant night
#

and yaboi has a hard time stayin outside the walls

wet nimbus
#

They are protrayed as ghosts

distant night
#

i think that was it, one sec ima check

supple lodge
#

like, every npc in the entire run?

arctic zenith
#

ah, okay then ty

wet nimbus
#

You can see them portraying deaths

supple lodge
#

including at home?

warm fable
#

going to try ||extreme measures 1|| shadeembarassed

supple lodge
#

lmao I love how Thanny looks when he's at the House

distant night
supple lodge
#

Mans just in his corner of shame, sulking

supple lodge
distant night
#

in tart, asphodel, elysium

supple lodge
#

seems doable

distant night
#

it very much is

#

it's more doable than the fountain goer subtext shadegrief

supple lodge
#

Damn the contractor should get a lounge chair in Than's corner so he can sulk more comfortably

#

If he's gonna sulk on the job he might as well do it in the lap of luxury

hushed schooner
#

onto elysium

supple lodge
#

vapourize Theseus for me shadesmile

distant night
#

sulky boi

#

all the happiness and optimism is stored in hypnos

hushed schooner
#

right we got a mid asterius battle

#

hooray

supple lodge
#

let me romance the sleepy sunshine boi

arctic zenith
#

yes

supple lodge
#

asterius is honestly a cool dude i feel bad for killing him

#

at least i know hes ok afterward

arctic zenith
#

THESEUS HOWEVER

distant night
#

well he likes the fighting

#

he even says "thx for the sparring"

supple lodge
#

I wish a miniboss encounter was Theseus lmao

arctic zenith
#

^

supple lodge
#

like, imagine walking into a room and we've apparently interrupted Theseus practicing his bragging in front of a mirror

hushed schooner
#

poseidons aid

#

:)

supple lodge
#

lmao i bought the administrative rights to the admin room

#

Than's just "you're going back there????"

#

yes I am than,, I need to find the document that lets me reunite pat and achilles

distant night
#

he can probably feel the pain of the shades when you are releasing one of your very "motivating" talks

supple lodge
#

haha

#

need to become hypnos 2.0

distant night
#

awwwwwwww

hushed schooner
#

decision

#

do i go

#

daedalus hammer

#

or trial with poseidon and aphrodite

arctic zenith
#

what weapon?

hushed schooner
#

malphon fists

#

probably daedalus hammer tbh

arctic zenith
#

i go hammer

hushed schooner
#

dont wanna risk this run

supple lodge
#

Lol all the shadedisgruntled shadedisgruntled shadedisgruntled shadedisgruntled when Zag tries to motivate the shades in the admin toom

arctic zenith
#

i love that

hushed schooner
#

ok only 130 health for bosses but i do have 4 dashes and divine dash

#

and multiple weak effects

supple lodge
#

"at least youre not working with me right"

#

some of the shades went shadeembarassed shadeembarassed shadeembarassed..... what does this mean

#

lmao Than must be wondering why I'm walking in and out of the admin room

distant night
#

they were probably watching youtube on their shadephones

#

and they felt called out when you thought they are working

hollow thunder
#

There are many different weapons in Hades
Each one plays completely differently from the others, to the point where choosing a different weapon might as well be tantamount to choosing a different character

arctic zenith
#

re-arm thing phone

supple lodge
#

glad you don't have to get weapons in a predatory gacha system

hushed schooner
#

done

supple lodge
#

niceee

#

now vaporize ||daddy||

hollow thunder
#

Each weapon has a different playstyle that you have to work with
But you are encouraged to try them all out due to the bonus system that gives you extra stuff if you use a certain weapon

arctic zenith
supple lodge
#

Wait

hollow thunder
#

And I really like that; it's an elaboration on Bastion's weapon system, with the weapons being made even more diverse

supple lodge
#

Technically every run is rolling a gacha

distant night
iron badge
#

guys what was the rule about trial of the good rooms and duo boons?

supple lodge
#

We can't escape the gacha shadegrief

arctic zenith
#

yes

iron badge
#

if there's a demeter vs zeus room, can i still get the demeter artemis duo?

distant night
iron badge
#

damn

ornate bear
#

it's funny using their own Call against them in trials though

distant night
#

you can only get normal, trade and legendary boons in there but duos dont spawn

supple lodge
#

@arctic zenith this is random but your avatar reminded me that I was tempted to draw celeste/hades crossover fanart

arctic zenith
#

do it

supple lodge
#

thanny telling zagdeline that he won't make it out of here, he's not an escape artist shadesmile

arctic zenith
#

nice

hollow thunder
#

I have only one criticism about the game so far
It's not a big deal, it's just something I guess I'm not used to

hushed schooner
#

time for redacted

supple lodge
#

My one criticism is no Hypnos romance option and not having enough hands to pat all 3 of Cerberus heads

hollow thunder
#

In Bastion, when you use the bow, you can still move a tiny bit; it's very slow, but you can move
In Hades, the bow locks you in place, crippling your ability to dodge attacks

hushed schooner
#

i'm alowed to say redacted right

supple lodge
#

yeah saying redacted is gucci

hollow thunder
#

Weird question: Can you romance Dusa?
Just curious, is all

distant night
hushed schooner
#

500 damage per hit with poseidon call and i can hit 3 hits in

distant night
#

maybe ;)

supple lodge
ornate bear
#

Dusa is so precious

#

she is best girl

supple lodge
#

lmao @ thanatos propaganda poster

distant night
#

OHSO THATS WHY HE FEELS IT

#

OOOOOOOO

hollow thunder
#

I agree with Thanny Time, Hypnos is best boy

supple lodge
#

he feels what,

supple lodge
hollow thunder
#

@supple lodge You

supple lodge
#

the one from the game probably doesn't like hypnos all that much

#

hahahahaha i see

hushed schooner
#

right that was a almost perfect run

#

could have got another duo boon if id realised what another boon did properly

#

ill post it in victory

supple lodge
#

aighto...changed my discord username to Mendely (finally)

#

damn i wish thanatos propaganda poster could be purchased for zag room lmao

#

its so funny

distant night
#

lol your status with your nick here is fun

#

terry thanny time lads

supple lodge
#

(kiwi accent) That's right, Thanatos did it! It's THANNY TIME

distant night
#

supple lodge
#

Hypnos, we got a problem! The count's OFF

arctic zenith
supple lodge
#

👀

arctic zenith
#

i mean terry is the only one with a different name while the others are jerry

#

i for one, would welcome multiple hypnos’

distant night
supple lodge
#

multiple hypnos just standing around the house commenting on different things

distant night
#

hushed schooner

distant night
#

ornate bear
#

I love nudging the sculptures I added to the west wing

hushed schooner
#

#

36 fish

#

:)

distant night
#

:D

supple lodge
#

must get more fish, make uncle fish proud

distant night
#

UNCLE FISH

arctic zenith
#

UNCLE FISH

#

uncle fish best uncle

arctic zenith
#

yes

distant night
#

who needs baby shark when you can have uncle shark

supple lodge
#

i underestimated uncle fish

#

his duo boon with zeus: fun

#

@arctic zenith @distant night your nicknames are matching ahaha

distant night
#

meow

arctic zenith
#

hello

supple lodge
#

gosh a lot of people with artemis in their server name

distant night

hushed schooner
#

arctic zenith
#

distant night
#

btw, artemis good have you seen artemis with short hair?

arctic zenith
#

no

supple lodge
#

i like her with her braid

arctic zenith
#

also just call me lu

distant night
#

ok, hi lu would you like to see artemis with short hair?

arctic zenith
#

YES

#

Guess I will only be the 1000th person to suggest we need an Axe weapon and Aspect of Asterius, but damn do we. Such a bro. Could be earth elemental too, maybe.

brisk trail
#

What do you get for continuing to gift a god after the initial one, anything?

arctic zenith
brisk trail
#

Ok nothing to directly help with combat?

#

any tips for theseus

#

and minotaur

distant night
arctic zenith
#

take out asterius first

brisk trail
#

any other tips

distant night
#

you can bait asterius into a direction and dash through him to backstab him without taking damage

#

also try to seperate the two so you dont have to dodge theseus' spears

ornate bear
#

when fighting Theseus alone just stand out in the open, dodge his spear, then attack him as he turns around, then dodge back

hushed schooner
#

i have been petting cerberus for like

#

10 minutes straight

distant night
#

for theseus: get a nice call, fill the god gauge up and when he enters second phase unleash the greater call

#

most greater calls get rid of theseus completely

brisk trail
#

I really like the Chaos God and running his rune

distant night
#

in like a few seconds

brisk trail
#

It's probably bad but I enjoy it, I just got a lucky one

distant night
#

kile artemis call can do that, or dio call, or zeus call i guess

arctic zenith
#

if using ||shady|| you can have him bull rush into darkness

distant night
#

aphro of course too, i forgot

ornate bear
#

Aphrodite only takes off like a quarter of his health though - he's got around like 10k health

iron badge
#

is there a specific thing i have to do to ||reunite achilles and pat?||

#

i'm over a hundred hours into the game and i swear i've made no progress on that...

#

i'm still stuck at lock icons too...

arctic zenith

Same my last heart is locked for ambrosia

#

||she's full||

arctic zenith
#

oh

#

yeah

#

kinda baffling that i've done all i can

but i still haven't triggered what i supposedly need to

wet nimbus
#

Some don’t give anything but a ____

#

||they give a bond||^

#

Some give ||pets||^

iron badge
#

yeah that's what i'm still trying to get

#

on that note... how do you get rid of the later locks on ||cerberus and hypnos even?||

I hate his shield

Everything about him

I hate it

hushed schooner
#

i think ive made a mistake

upbeat cedar
supple lodge
#

He looks like the chad meme except Greek

hushed schooner
#

i have 249 max health at the end of asphodel

supple lodge
#

The rats in Styx are annoying

merry current
#

I call him bootleg Achilies

supple lodge
#

I don't wanna die to the rats because Hypnos will probably laugh at me if I do shadegrief

upbeat cedar
#

The big one

supple lodge
#

All of them

upbeat cedar
#

Or small ones

ornate bear
#

or the tiny one

upbeat cedar
#

Small ones, just pick poseidon dash

supple lodge
#

||what about the tiny rat boss||

upbeat cedar
#

Poseidon dash works really well on styx

merry current
#

I feel like the rats in Stx are one of the easy parts

supple lodge
#

Hypnos has a cute laugh but if he laughs at me I am sad

merry current
#

but thats just me

upbeat cedar
#

Yeah same

ornate bear
#

tbh ||tiny vermin|| was never a problem to me - I've never died to it even when I first fought it

upbeat cedar
#

I don't have a hard time dealing with the rats. The serpent that shoots lasers are annoying tho

I do all the chambers to get as much gold as possible

vocal ridge
#

hey

#

is there anyway to go home in the middle of a run

#

without dying i mean

tender oxide
#

No

vocal ridge
#

ok

tender oxide
#

If you choose quit in the middle of a run it saves though

vocal ridge
#

no i dont want that

supple lodge
#

you gotta get a room clear first before you can save ur progress

#

oh wait you meant go to the house of hades

vocal ridge
#

yeah

#

what's the diference between a catch and the perfect catch?

#

#

gilded leaf
#

timing

#

but i think you get rarer fish with a perfect

#

Timing and luck

true bridge
#

thank you

tender oxide
#

I think if you respond within the first .35 seconds it has the highest chance to be the rarest fish

ornate bear
#

0.3 seconds I think

#

it's super strict

hushed schooner
#

elysium down

true bridge
#

so pay more attention to the fish

hushed schooner
#

got 327 max health

tender oxide
#

Dang

hushed schooner
#

no

#

#

basically i have that nectar dionyuss one

#

and the aprhodite one that boosts max healthg ain

tender oxide
#

Did you take every centaur heart

hushed schooner
#

no

#

do i go for the 50 health centaur heart for the jokes

ornate bear
#

My max health one time was like 460 when I finished

#

it was nuts

tender oxide
#

Yes

hushed schooner
#

ok i have

#

429 max health

#

#

this is a ridicolous run

Your death defiance will fill more health than my max health usually is lol

trail quest
#

hi all thinking about getting this but im new to pc controls and roguelikes both....how hard is it?

merry fulcrum
#

enjoyably hard

gilded leaf
#

difficult but you get better steadily

merry fulcrum
#

^

tender oxide
#

It gets easier as you play more and if you’re really struggling you can use god mode

gilded leaf
#

if you're having trouble theres also god mode

trail quest
#

whats god mode

tender oxide
#

And there’s controller support on pc too

#

You take less damage

trail quest
#

no controller unfortunately

gilded leaf
#

a box you tick in settings, gives you 20% base damage reduction and 2% more each time you die

trail quest
#

oh really i should try that then is there difficulty options like easy normal hard etc

merry fulcrum
#

the steady improvement as you continue to throw yourself at it is practically a plot point

tender oxide
#

Nope

gilded leaf
#

no but god mode is kinda like an easy mode

trail quest
#

ok

gilded leaf
#

and you can uncheck it if it gets too easy

merry fulcrum
#

as for the roguelike part there's just enough RNG to keep runs from feeling stale

tender oxide
#

If I were you I’d wait to turn it on until like 30 runs if you still aren’t making progress

merry fulcrum
#

and after some experience you can make it work in your favor reliably

tender oxide
#

And dying is good too because you can advance story

trail quest
#

does god mode affect drops or achieves etc?

tender oxide
#

No

trail quest
#

nice

#

can u get perma upgrades or is it full roguelike

merry fulcrum
#

you get perma upgrades

tender oxide
#

There’s perma upgrades

supple lodge
#

perma upgrades and a lot of them

trail quest
#

nice

merry fulcrum
#

some of the perma upgrades themselves are what let you work the RNG into your favor lol

trail quest
#

wow

merry fulcrum
#

yeah there's dialogue for damn near everything that happens

#

and it's what makes losing not feel bad

#

cuz you return to the hub world and everyone has something new to say

trail quest
#

have any of you actually got to the end

merry fulcrum
#

yes

supple lodge
#

120 for Charon? That's a lot of different ways to say HRRRRRRGGGGHhh

tender oxide
#

Yes

trail quest
#

nice

merry fulcrum
#

there is a definite end-point to the story

tender oxide
#

And there’s a lot more story after you beat it

hushed schooner
#

got like 4 achievements just then

#

Man, zagreus is such a talkative guy apparently

merry fulcrum
#

well he is the one holding conversation with every other character

#

on a side note i have to ask

#

#

There’s a YouTube linked in their account

#

Murder

trail quest
#

do you get to select certain weapons maybe or is it all random

merry fulcrum
#

you get 6 weapons

trail quest
#

which is easiest for a noob like me

merry fulcrum
#

each with 4 different forms to change the playstyle

tender oxide
#

At the beginning you only have sword unlocked

trail quest
#

oh

tender oxide
#

You can unlock the rest pretty quickly though

merry fulcrum
#

ye

tender oxide
#

Go for keys if you can

merry fulcrum
#

just look for the Keys

trail quest
#

so explore whole area?

tender oxide
#

Each area has one reward

#

It shows you the reward for the next arena at the door to it and sometimes there’ll be more than one option

#

I’d recommend shield if you wanna play it safe, but my personal favorites are fists and gun because they’re fast

hushed schooner
#

i think i'm best with the shield and spear

merry fulcrum
#

bow babyyyyyyyyy

hushed schooner
#

i do like the bow

#

the spear and shield just my favourite to play with

tender oxide
#

Meh bow is ok

i see. ||if i choose only 2 EM , workin tartarus and aspho then?||

tender oxide
#

Yes

thin socket
#

ok

tropic arrow
#

I asked about the max possible bonus of the Family Favorite effect

tender oxide
#

What’s that one again

tropic arrow
#

It turns out that it's possible to get it to a crazy 40% buff even the default pool is 4 gods only

trail quest
#

what should i do on pc about aim assist attack and dash at cursor?

tropic arrow
#

Pics are not allowed in this channel I suppose?

tender oxide
#

You can upload them to Imgur I think and put the link

#

Discord should imbed the image

merry fulcrum
#

aim assist can help for the small enemies or just get in the way when aiming into a crowd so it's personal preference

#

dashing toward cursor is bad tho

trail quest
#

what about attack at cursor i think id rather attack where im facing

tropic arrow
merry fulcrum
#

i use attack at cursor

tender oxide
#

That’s... a lot of boons

merry fulcrum
#

Favored and Envied

thin socket
#

he's lucky 🙂

tropic arrow
#

Idk I just don't like normal rarity

#

Kind of a bummer to see normal

tender oxide
#

If I’m not mistaken the game gives you more boons while you don’t have attack, special, and cast slot filled

merry fulcrum
#

i thought that was the subtitle for runs with a ton of Boons

tropic arrow
#

Oh

thin socket
#

||thankfully eurydice can change rarity||

tropic arrow
#

I thought you were talking about the second last the third last mirror options

tropic arrow
tender oxide
#

Eurydice gave me 25% dodge chance from upgrading Hermes’ boon once

trail quest
#

omg i love the bow!!!

strange adder
#

which rail upgrade makes it so that your attack has low range?

ornate bear
#

is there anything that determines how many enemies will spawn in a room? sometimes I'll only have to kill like 6-8 enemies, whereas other times I'll have to clear multiple waves with a total of 30+ enemies in a single room (this is without ||Jury Summons||)

strange adder
#

i believe some enemies keep spawning over and over if you don't kill a specific enemy

#

an example would be ||styx miniboss encounters where the small vermin keep spawning over and over if you dont kill the miniboss||

#

||butterfly ball miniboss is another one too||

ornate bear
#

yeah I get that, but I'm just talking regular encounters

strange adder
#

it applies to that as well

thin socket
#

like skull mob. you need to kill the nest 🙂

hushed schooner
#

butterfly ball is evil

#

they don't deserve elysium

#

they should be in the depths of chaos

||the miniboss encounter ||is really easy though

is there a constant speed bonus when you max out your relationships with Hermes? Either that or I've just played this game too much and everything seems faster now shadesmile

If you use his keepsake you gain speed

how do i unlock some prophechies on the fates list

also, nutmeg, your profile picture is divine too

I believe you unlock them by giving them nectar first, if that's what you mean

that would make sense i havent giftedhim too much nectar yet

i have the poseidon prophecy of fishing fulfilled

manic bobcat
#

Do you know you can upgrade the mirror?

#

and other stuff that can help you out?

dreamy rune
#

I have 4K dark

cobalt haven
#

it's alright!! just be patient and don't rush the fight too much

dreamy rune
#

But idk what’s to do with it

manic bobcat
#

haha

#

go to your bedroom

cobalt haven
#

you know the mirror in your room?

manic bobcat
#

look to the left

#

there is a mirror

cobalt haven
#

you can use the darkness to upgrade different talents!

manic bobcat
#

interact with it to see what you've been missing out :D

pliant sparrow
manic bobcat
#

it's a balancing act

lethal island
#

By not getting hit obviously

manic bobcat
#

but resetting for triple bomb can be faster than trying to make the run

#

especially when you are new

#

hence it's a "cheese"

pliant sparrow
#

thanthink it takes like 5-10 suicides just to get hammer

#

and then it might not even be triple bomb

#

instead you can spend the time learning about the game and bosses

manic bobcat
#

what s your definition of cheese?

pliant sparrow
#

something that makes the game a lot easier

#

which getting triple bomb does not

lethal island
#

Nemesis Sword Artemis attack Aphro Special Heart Rend

manic bobcat
#

that's... not what cheese is

#

we have different definition of cheese

pliant sparrow
#

if you're a beginner, getting a hammer won't magically make you be able to clear

lethal island
#

Cheese is a cheap tactic you can use that’s easy and semi effective

manic bobcat
#

we can agree to disagree then

#

nothing is hard about dashing around and spamming special at long range

#

you just need time

#

and without TD

#

you have time.

misty harbor
#

honestly not rushing each level while keeping the Butterfly keepsake really helped me to keep myself more patient and not rushing the levels, thus receiving more damage

pliant sparrow
#

you can literally make the same argument about any ranged weapon

lethal island
#

I always played with Butterfly at the beginning of the game

pliant sparrow
#

"nothing is hard about dashing around and spamming zeus attack"

#

"therefore, eris is cheese"

manic bobcat
#

except attacking grounds you

#

same with charging bow

#

it takes less time to throw a rail special

pliant sparrow
#

not really, you still go faster than the boss

lethal island
#

Butterfly keepsake is a really nice way of seeing your improvements

misty harbor
manic bobcat
#

and you do more damage

#

you know, im not going to argue this

pliant sparrow
#

ok

manic bobcat
#

if you have something better, ping the person who asked and let them know

#

I stand by what I said

pliant sparrow
#

if you can show me any new player who can suddenly magically get his first clear with a single hammer without learning basic game mechanics, let me know

manic bobcat
#

any new player
The person comments suggest they are not entirely new. They knew about hidden aspects which means they have same understanding. They are not completely new.
with a single hammer
I never said they have to limit themselves to one hammer or one boon. Don't put words in my mouth. Triple Bomb helps doesn't mean you can only take Triple Bomb.
without learning basic game mechanics
Again, read up the first point.

pliant sparrow
#

The person comments suggest they are not entirely new.
the fact that they havent gotten first clear suggests they don't fully know boss mechanics
with a single hammer
yes, you did. you literally suggested that if they took this one hammer - regardless of the build around it - hammers or not - learning boss movesets or not, they would suddenly be able to win a run

kinda harmful for player cuz ur literally encouraging them to not get better at the game while also having them waste time suiciding for a single hammer

manic bobcat
#

lmao. keeping making a straw man and beat it. this is my last response to you. like I said, they didn't delete their comments and you can look up to who I responded to. If you truly think what I said is harmful, ping the person who asked and correct or ping a mod, I couldn't care less.
My advice is simple, you can cheese the game by getting Triple Bomb, even if it means you have to reset for it, and Deadly Flourish. Interpret that however you will.

misty harbor
#

I'm just gonna say that Zag's words when he was giving his last ambrosia to Hermes and his response when he gives you his boons after this is one of the cutest things I've ever seen in my life daphFlushed

it's very close to Zag's fan shade

i dont see her as coz but bestie

WELL

distant night

artemis is best bestie

#

hermes is best coz

arctic zenith
#

yes

distant night
#

the artemis simps fans agree

tender oxide
#

Speaking of hermes is his last Heart unlocked like Artemis’s where I just need to keep talking to him

distant night
#

no you need to wear his keepsake maxed and talk to him

arctic zenith
#

||upgrade his keepsake to max||

distant night
#

it might take a few runs tho for him to notice

tender oxide
#

Ohhh ok

distant night
arctic zenith
#

WOAH TOO FAR FOR THIS CHANNEL

misty harbor
#

you don't need to wear it when you meet him tho, can do it anytime and meet him on your next escape, for example

distant night
#

no?

misty harbor
#

definitely not

#

tried it myself

distant night
#

||Hermes' favor requires speaking with him while having the Lambent Plume equipped and max leveled. ||

#

literally says have it equipped

misty harbor
#

well guess it's wrong

arctic zenith
#

oh boy than time

tender oxide
#

||Kinda like how for most hidden aspects you don’t actually need the weapon equipped to get the dialog||

distant night
#

but thats his favor

#

else you'd get his favor done way sooner without asking

misty harbor
#

I'd read it somewhere else that you don't have to have it so that's what I did and it worked

distant night
#

even when i asked le mods when i didnt have his favor 250h in they said you need it equipped

#

sounds more like a bug to me?

tender oxide
#

Maybe you need to talk to him with it equipped once and he can then give the dialog later without it

misty harbor
#

maybe or maybe I'm being foolish and forgot that I had it with me... but I'm pretty sure I wasn't going to keep it just to stumble upon Hermes

distant night
#

||... equipped and and max level||

#

🤔

tender oxide
#

I mean I’d keep it equipped anyways it’s a really good keepsake

#

I used it my first time today with max zag fists and had a 60% dodge chance by the time I reached the final boss

misty harbor
#

geez, Poseidon's Breaking Wave with Second Wave is just brutal. I got 268 damage for the former

#

at the last floor you basically dash through the halls to complete a fight within a few seconds

why is my fated authority not working? it shows i get +1 when i pick up key, and it was working before, but it just stopped, no more prompt to reroll in front of a room

hermes rooms cant be rerolled either

@viscid moss oh wait so if i switch it to persuasion i can't get authority even from the keys?

at least it said so in the description

itll give you persuasion keys

ohhhhhhhh

no those are different mirror aspects

pliant sparrow

u unlock it before you first clear

mmmm, its still a surprise when you see it for the first time

#

i definitely didnt expect it

distant night
#

it'sonly deemed a spoiler if you definitively have somebody in chat who hasnt come that far

#

but it isnt a spoiler else at all

viscid moss
#

its just that this chat might have newbies lurking, there's no real reason to not add spoiler tags

#

takes ||two seconds|| to add friendly

#

anyone know if devs are reconsidering dlc since the game did so well?

distant night
#

no new info on that

#

even if this channel can have newbs lurking, i hope they rather go for the new player appropriate channel

spoilering in very heated discussions is hard

Hades lost to RDR2

pliant sparrow

shadefear yah dunno why such an old game won over the 99% rated steam game

manic bobcat
#

because Steam award is mostly for fun tbh

viscid moss
#

more people voted for it, simple as that

gilded nebula
#

I meant game awards goty

distant night
#

steam awards more like meme awards

gilded nebula
#

Where the last of us won 🤢

viscid moss
#

its super hard for indie game to win, since a lot of people only buy a couple games a year, and they're more likely to go for widely popular AAA

pliant sparrow
gilded nebula
#

It's not at all

distant night
#

still hades almost got every gamer news' goty award

manic bobcat
#

it's 2021

distant night
#

kinda really cute

gilded nebula
#

Everyone knew what would win and everyone was disappointed lol

distant night
pliant sparrow
#

the fact that tlou2 swept in best direction and action adventure kinda just proves how rigged the game awards were

gilded nebula
#

Didn't it win like accesibility awards or smth like that

#

While being an exclusive

pliant sparrow
#

accessibility as in for people with disabilities

distant night
#

yes but guys

pliant sparrow
#

it did a great job apparently

#

for that

distant night
#

lets not talk about tlou2 in the hades channel

manic bobcat
viscid moss
gilded nebula
#

Oh

#

I thought it meant smth different ok

manic bobcat
#

there was one blind person who finished the game unassisted. which is really impressive for both the player and the game.

craggy barn
#

tlou2 may have won the awards but hades is what gave people boners

tiny tundra
#

As a person who’s socially awkward and has trouble understanding people, I didn’t think the game was well optimized for my needs. Personally, I think the writers should have made a good story so that I could understand anything about the characters.

#

For real, though, TLOU2 does have very good accessibility features despite being substellar in a lot of other ways.

I don’t know that Hades was my game of the year, but, in fairness, there wasn’t too much stiff competition.

I’d give it to The Wonderful 101: Remastered, but that is technically a remaster. Beyond that, not sure. I think Hades has its issues, but it’s a very, very fantastic game.

why does that exist

it totally means sarcasm /s

real thanthink moment

cobalt wigeon
#

I have no problems with the rest of the bosses

#

But that last boss is walling me

hexed shore
#

Hax vs hax use shield

viscid moss
#

gotta learn the patterns and know when to stop attacking to dodge

#

last boss is a painful teacher

hexed shore
#

You're basically being spanked

cobalt wigeon
#

Only way to win is vampiric sword

manic bobcat
#

if all else fails, you can make a practice save

#

and practice the last fight only

#

as last resort though

cobalt wigeon
#

How?

hexed shore
#

Ooh i wanna try that

#

Walk out after dodging everything 30-40 tries later

distant night
#

didnt that get patched out?

pliant sparrow
#

he has like 2 main moves so you should learn those

manic bobcat
cobalt wigeon
#

I see

distant night
#

save scumming at its finest

pliant sparrow
#

Also you should dash over the circular waves

hexed shore
#

Hey idk if that's save scumming tbh

cobalt wigeon
#

I focus solely on hades kekw

warm fable
#

how far have you made it in the fight

distant night
#

idk if thats how you play roguelikes/lites tbh

manic bobcat
distant night
#

but it is save scumming

hexed shore
#

Like the intent behind save scumming and this seems very different

manic bobcat
#

yeah fair, but the mechanics is the same

distant night
#

the intent of run based games is that you have to go back from bottom to top everytime

manic bobcat
#

basically use it for practice

hexed shore
#

Sure, is definitely the same process

cobalt wigeon
manic bobcat
#

then do a full run yourself.

warm fable
#

o ok

distant night
#

with this technique you are basically making this untrue

cobalt wigeon
#

With the sword, that was easy

distant night
#

->scummy

warm fable
#

i wasn't sure

hexed shore
#

Just the expected outcome of the process is different is what I'm saying

cobalt wigeon
#

The other weapons are hard since there isn't that vampiric upgrade

pliant sparrow
#

i would take time to learn the moves and get good at dodging then

warm fable
#

shield is pretty op on ||2nd phase|| because you can block like every attack

cobalt wigeon
#

And the bow is hardest to use

manic bobcat
#

I swear Cursed Slash seems to be a fan favorite starting out.

hexed shore
#

I've never liked cursed slash

warm fable
#

bow is pretty good, just stay away and time your shots

hexed shore
#

Idek how to make it work

pliant sparrow
#

relying on survivability boons can help in the short run tho to get you to learn his moves

manic bobcat
pliant sparrow
#

but if you just use them as crutches to beat the boss instead of learning ur harming urself in long run

cobalt wigeon
#

I think so

hexed shore
#

If I had a obol for everytime someone said dash strike the bow

cobalt wigeon
#

The || rail || is easier to use compared to the bow

arctic zenith
#

dash strike the bow

hexed shore
#

You need to dash strike the bow my man

manic bobcat
#

bow dash strike always

viscid moss
#

un-dashed bow attacks are shadegrief

manic bobcat
#

in fact, most weapons dash strike always

cobalt wigeon
#

Yeah that's what I do

#

The lava makes it annoying tho

hexed shore
#

But on bow you don't attack with dashing

#

It's not a thing

slow quarry
#

is there a hammere uprade directed to casts?

#

or only weapons

#

?

craggy barn
#

dash strike is great for keeping your dps up when using fists

hexed shore
#

Only weapons

warm fable
#

only weapons I think

slow quarry
#

k ty

manic bobcat
#

only weapon DK

craggy barn
#

hammer upgrades are directed only at weapons

cobalt wigeon
#

There are boons for cast

Circling people with long knuckle dash combos is love

loki athena dash is op btw

cobalt wigeon

Ye I like fisting people with the knuckles

She's good to have but don't become dependant

yeah, my english is very bad sorry 😦

No

supergiant if u hear me i have money for dlc.... 🙂

xD ok i stop

Other weapons work the way you thought by spending blood on them

Spear is the only weird one who wants you to spend blood elsewhere

How many times did you beat ||hades|| is an easier question

im in epilogue

#

sorry lol

#

ah ok got it :D

lethal island
#

There's still plenty of game to play

#

I wouldn't say you necessarily need dlc to keep playing at that point

noble karma
#

With Chiron bow maxed out, which is better, concentrated or relentless volley? I think I read in some reddit thread, concentrated, looking for that post now.

lethal island
#

During epilogue

#

like after main credits

hexed shore
#

Relentless is the one that adds +4?

lethal island
#

Yea

hexed shore
#

If yes then that's the best hammer

cunning anvil
#

yeah i know but i only want to know if supergiant have in mind get a any dlc, this have to awsome

noble karma
#

Because those last four the damage gets multiplied?

cunning anvil
#

Right now I have a lot left, to improve all the weapons and others but I would like a dlc or something

hexed shore
#

Having more homing arrows is good

#

Cause chiron is all about demolishing people with bow special boons

#

If you're on Artemis special concentrated might be better though, I'm not sure will have to math

noble karma
#

That’s what made sense to me. I’m on Athena special.

hexed shore
#

Athena special on chiron lowkey weird

viscid moss
hexed shore
#

Isn't that for boonless though

viscid moss
#

full volley adds 21+18+15+12+9+6+3 = 84

#

that doesnt matter tho, since its base damage, so it scales with boons

#

4 extra arrows adds 60 base

#

unless im not understanding how it works

Actually he's right @noble karma I can't think go any instances where I specifically want relentless over conc now that I give it a thought

#

Also cause relentless makes the special slower

its when youre not using chirron, since you get a better spread

I was thinking about demeter but then demeter definitely benefits more from having a higher damage on three volleys with her percentage instead of triggering two blasts

aaaaaaah, you might be onto something

Is conc volley cumulative

wiki is crap, other people say it is

#

the wording seems to imply it as well

#

if it was just +3 base per arrow, i think itd be worded in a less confusing manner

I normally don't like roguelikes but this game is awesome 👍

So you can get three volleys without relentless right
