arctic zenith
||em1|| should be easy
distant night
the easiest to start of are ||em1, td1(if you always have below 40mins run; td2 if you are always around 20/sub 20), JS, BP1, dont touch HS or FO for the start||
hushed schooner
||if you need an easy 2-5 heat id say go for bp||
distant night
|| the easiest one is probably the one that makes them absorb 1 hit||
yeah but you really gotta be careful that you dont have Fiery Presence in the mirror on 
you need to clear for the meter to raise; there are bounties up to level 20

i'm gonna do a hades spear run next

explosions from splash + 1 more splash was the most brutal build I had - just dashing through the level and killing every living or dead creature (had some crazy rarity and levels for both of the boons + some additional similar damage)
hushed schooner
|| also did em2 for the first time last run, its defineltly harder but i feel its because you have less space to avoid lernies head smashing ||
||aside from that not too different i feel with hs itd be alot harder ude to traps||

which mirror thingy is better?
like the one where enetering room gives u up to three
or the alternate version where you get hp from darkness
pliant sparrow

fun builds: priviledged status in the mirror and aphro on the attack :) try getting as many status affects at once ;D
it really is

Im never taking another hit of damage again

tender oxide
or the alternate version where you get hp from darkness
If you’ve already collected bounties (titan blood, diamonds, etc) then dark regeneration is better because you’ll always be full after a boss. I don’t like the other one as much because if I take damage it’s usually a lot at once at the boss and most of the healing I would get from each room is wasted because I’m full
distant night
I wish Hades would be modable.
it is?

for which weapon?
pliant sparrow
well given that lightning special has an internal cooldown of .2 and the chiron special will only proc one lightning
dionysus is the optimal choice

Talos is good too

Achilles is the best aspect for spear

Nice, and should I also get the Zag aspect for the +base damage?
tender oxide
You can only have one aspect at a time
wispy flax
Ah
prime kraken
I imagine this has been posted somewhere, but can boons be accessed outside of randomly getting one from a random god? I favor the spear and the three prong attack no longer pops up when I find the daedalus hammer. Any pointers or website links would be appreciated. Thanks!
wispy flax
Charon's shop can sometimes have boons.
tender oxide
You can force a god to appear with their keepsake
And one of the last mirror upgrades let’s you reroll boons
wispy flax
I also love DaeBae's triple jab upgrade to spear
prime kraken
So, it's random and I can't cherry pick what I want for each run...?
tender oxide
You can reroll with a mirror upgrade
wind nest
Later in the game there are upgrades that help you reroll boons
tender oxide
Only boons though not hammers
distant night
daddydaed's best spear upgrade is serrated point (triple dashstike) dont @ me
wind nest
but the hammer boons in particular don't reroll yeah
distant night
you can only get up to 2 chosen hammers
languid plover
daddydaed's best spear upgrade is serrated point (triple dashstike) dont @ me
of course! With Arte Attack + Arte Dash it melt enemies like a butter
prime kraken
Okay, thank you for confirming this. I was getting the impression that once you got a boon or hammer upgrade you could choose it on a later run and I wasn't finding this option anywhere in the game.
distant night
there is an item in the last market that changes 1 hammer into 2 random ones for 3 hammers but well, those arent chosen :c
tender oxide
And it only has a 50% chance to spawn
languid plover
say, what happen if you Deflect melee attack?
tender oxide
You don’t
distant night
of course! With Arte Attack + Arte Dash it melt enemies like a butter
with athena on attack and artemis dash together with pressure points and their duo is just chefs kiss perfect butter
languid plover
Does it do same thing like dodge?

You just take damage
languid plover
hmm
tender oxide
You can only deflect projectiles
distant night
you can deflect melee attacks that throw out like little auras like wretched louts

You can?

I ever have opinion that Athena Fist can truly be OP
distant night
and you would be absolutely right
tender oxide
Eh

but nah

Zeus is way better on fists

athena with zag fist with athena legendary is just what is damage

abstract ginkgo
its different from the dialogue you normally get on your first run but its not unique because you would normally get that dialogue later
because normally the first run dialogue mentions you doing countless runs through the underworld but that isn't technically true on your first run
hushed schooner
i really like the spear of hades as a weapon
weak thorn
beating the game first try on a new save file would be fairly brutal
i mean sure you've got all the knowledge but 0 DDs, arguably the worst weapon in the game, no mirror, not encountering some gods due to them not appearing on first run
no keepsake
abstract ginkgo
the good thing about a freshfile run is that the gods are somewhat set
red pike
Quick question for the knowledgeable Hades players out there. I'm doing an Aspect of Chiron run with a really lucky Heroic Drunken Flourish right now. I've got a Chaos gate in front of me and I'm tempted to go in to get a flourish buff from him. Does the Flourish buff from Chaos affect the Hangover damage or just the base physical damage of the Special?
hushed schooner
nectar gives you a random pom
weak thorn
oh yea of course
hushed schooner
or gems + gold
weak thorn
just base damage @red pike
hushed schooner
etc
abstract ginkgo
so the strat seems to be to go for merciful end
weak thorn
no fountain rooms
red pike
@weak thorn Thank you. I figured it didn't but holy cow if it did this build would be insane.
I'm thinking then to go for the Aphrodite/Dionysus Duo that lets me stack Hangover higher. Either that or the boon that makes Hangover victims take more damage while in Festive Fog.
weak thorn
(idk if drunken flourish is really that good for chiron btw unless maybe you've got the athena duo 🤔)
lime iris
yeah speedrunners on fresh files go for the exposed boon
hushed schooner
drunken flourish is good
cause you can target enemies with all the special
so the hangover is instantly applied
abstract ginkgo
its pretty good
weak thorn
my argument against it is more that since you can only stack 5 times alot of the arrows just aren't doing anything especially if you get the +4 arrows on special hammer
abstract ginkgo
I think zeus and artemis are prob better but i'll take drunken flourish nay day
weak thorn
zeus isnt that good due to cooldown apparently
abstract ginkgo
I guess I can see that
weak thorn
aphro/dem/art imo are best for chiron
abstract ginkgo
oh yeah I love demeter chiron too
weak thorn
aphro attack dem on special means you're always getting +40% damage just from the mirror
lime iris
why zeus doesn't work?
abstract ginkgo
jolted doesn't activate fast enough I think is what they were saying
weak thorn
internal cooldown, so each arrow isnt shooting one lightning bolt, the whole special only shoots like 2-3 iirc
lime iris
I see
weak thorn
ares on chiron can work aswell if you combo with aphrodite (needs doom stacking aswell though imo)
lime iris
would be kinda broken otherwise tbh
weak thorn
yea iirc that cooldown was added specifically because of that combo
lime iris
or with the boons that makes doom stack maybe
weak thorn
yea
lime iris
if it doesn't have a cooldown as well
weak thorn
nah it doesn't, with aphrodite's duo i was doing over 700 from doom on the first doom hit when i tried that combo
lime iris
I still gotta try demeter builds, it has pretty high %damage right?
abstract ginkgo
40%
pretty good
highest is aphro at 50% but demeter can actually stack a curse instead of just applying weak once
weak thorn
medium %damage but you also get killing freeze, arctic blast, winter harvest
lime iris
now I wanna try demeter
hushed schooner
demeter has fun boons
abstract ginkgo
added bonus you don't have to deal with ||thesues using demeter||
weak thorn
i managed to get it really on on one run so got to use it on hydra onwards lol
that was fun
lime iris
am I the only one who uses mainly weapons with the darkness buff, I'm also at around 50 escape attempts, so I still need dark
abstract ginkgo
same I like most of the weapons equally
and I would get bored if I only ran chiron bow and shield
weak thorn
nah alot of people do, i personally dont cause i'm focusing more on getting blood/diamonds/ambrosia etc...
which its easier to just focus on one weapon to get

@lime iris Oh definitely not. Hell mode is rough for experienced players, let alone someone who’s just getting started.

Hello everyone, I just want to say that Hades is one of the best games I have played for a long time. When a friend of mine gave it to me for Christmas, I have to admit that I was initially very scepitcal since I normally don't like rogue-like/rogue-lite that much. But Hades mixed the rouge elements with a lot of interesting characters and a satisfying progression that I am totally a fan now 😄 Keep being awesome, Supergiants!
dire solar
now i know why hades is r/nintendoswitch 's 2020 hidden gem apart from witcher 3 and celeste

By the way: I am playing Hades via Proton on Linux and it runs flawlessly, good job on the engine there 🙂

can confirm: gamepad is easier
having a much easier time just clearing rooms as opposed to when i was playing with kbm
timid compass
what does gamepad has that kbm doesn't?
jolly summit
I just really like the aim mechanic with the mouse, even with the melee weapons.
alpine stratus
hades is pretty based
brings me such joy to not know whether thats positive or negative. means i am maybe starting to be a little less terminally online
ooh ive never really tried anything but kbm
brisk trail
when you're using kbm you have to aim with the mouse to direct your attack for melee weapons and i assume for ranged weapons
for gamepad you don't have to
alpine stratus
ahhh
brisk trail
zag attacks in the direction you're facing
it makes things a bit easier for me i guess
carmine ravine
yea but its a double sided sword since autoaim is dum sometimes

I think he already uploaded hades videos earlier I remember one with dionysos

Hello can someone please tell where can i find the font this game uses for names?
dapper oracle
Hades, graphically, is based on bink video files, right?
so not quite sprites and definitely not like cel shaded 3D models?

Correct

visual silo
guys, is there a way to make the Flame Wheel Release spawn easier?
runic agate
No
fierce knot
@visual silo Nope, unless you’re willing to spend rerolls on the well, which I wouldn’t recommend.
fierce knot
Fair enough
visual silo
can it spawn on the pathway between asphodel and elysium?
fierce knot
No, only on rooms in Elysium AFAIK.
visual silo
oof
oh well
I have another question, if for example I upgrade my Ares's doom on my attack, and then upgrade the special's doom
are those different or is it the same doom?
and if they are the same, do they stack?
prisma wind
They don't stack, and as far as I know it takes the damage of whichever is applied first
winter harbor
doom doesn't stack without another boon and even then it's like +10 dmg per stack
visual silo
I meant the upgrades @winter harbor
but @prisma wind I think that answers my question, thanks!
what about crit strike?
prisma wind
What about it?
fierce knot
Yeah, crit chance stacks.
tender oxide
Everything to do with a crit chance says +x% so that means it all adds together to get the chance
visual silo
and hangover would work the same as ares then? only first one applies?
median holly
Just finished The Fated List. :D
fierce knot
No, hangover will apply all 5 times. That’s why it’s my personal favorite special for Chaos aspect.
visual silo
I think I mispoke
what I mean is
let's say I have hangover on attack and on special
but they have different levels
so they have different damage ticks
how does that damage gets calculated?
fierce knot
If you have multiple sources of hangover, the latest one will completely override the prior one. So let’s say you pop Dio's call and then hit with drunken strike. Your hangover ticks are now doing the damage from drunken strike instead of the call, meaning it’s basically wasted. (No pun intended)

Aspect of chiron and Artemis special is a killer combo

They are fine tbh
prisma wind
They're just so cute
visual silo
I hate them currently cause I'm trying to do the gilgamesh run at least to the surface
getting the boon?
fierce knot
Nope, that’s one way to do it.
visual silo

prisma wind
I mean... you could. It would not be very efficient, I'd think, though
Better off using Fated Authority and rerolling room rewards and then dying to do it again
Honestly though, eventually you will have Too Much 
so I wouldn't stress trying to farm it
visual silo
I haven't found a way to make the fists work
they are the worst weapon for me to use
prisma wind
Have you tried with Zeus or Dio on attack?
visual silo
mm don't remember
the first time I beat final boss with them I was using demeter with the 10 stack explode thing
fierce knot
Demeter is also p good.
narrow hemlock
spoiler tag redacted in this channel please ♥️
visual silo
I just need to get to final boss, not beat them >.< wish me luck
narrow hemlock
thanks and good luck!
visual silo
got through!
welp, lost, but got what I wanted
redacted with extreme measures is kicking my butt
potent orchid
aspect of chiron + posideon special + posideon/zeus duo boon
dusk snow
Fists somehow I used them and beat final boss on my second ever use of them
I found aspect of talos + zeus special/Artemis/zeus attack and Demeter/Poseidon/ares dash + hammer bonuses of 900% armour damage really did the trick
And any sort of jolt or chain effect on fists are incredible they’re now my fav weapons to use
visual silo
the first run I killed redacted with them I was hitting like a truck, but I don't remember the build I used then
the only weapon that I really cannot seem to win at all with
is the bow
everyone on the internet says bow is op
I cannot seem to know how to use it properly
at least with bosses
tender oxide
Bow is hard to use
If I were you I'd go with what you're most comfortable with, not what the internet says is good
visual silo
I mean
tender oxide
All the weapons are pretty balanced and all can be very good with the right build
visual silo
I already finished the game, even the epilogue
my fav to use is aegis cause is easy
and with the piercing ability is basically bow easy mode
tender oxide
I like Aegis too
My favorite are Malphon and Exagryph
It's all personal preference though
gritty roost
fellow Rails user!
tender oxide
Just try playing with whatever weapon you're best with and experiment with different builds, you'll get better with different weapons
visual silo
cause on aegis I'm +10 on pacts, while on bow I'm on 2 lol
tender oxide
On Aegis I'm 14 and on Malphon I'm 13 now lol
I just started using Exagryph and it's very good
Especially with scatter bombs hammer
tender oxide
Yeah He's pretty hard on em
visual silo
on my first try I almost killed him but missed to press F with artemis call
and killed me
tender oxide
potent orchid
Is it just me or is EM theseus easier than the original one
tender oxide
He is
visual silo
it is
tender oxide
Asterius on the other hand...
potent orchid
usually I go for theseus first but with EM i just ignore him and go for asterius
that swing is deadly
visual silo
I mean
if he's gonna do the beyblade thing I just get out of the way till he runs out
potent orchid
true true
tender oxide
I always go for Asterius first so I don't have to deal with him while Theseus does his call
visual silo
most theseus's calls are easy to dodge imo
maybe zeus is the hardest cause unpredictability
tender oxide
Yeah but it's just way easier when you don't also have a bull man running around
imo ||demeter|| is the hardest because of the vortex
visual silo
I hate that one most on god trials
always prefer to choose them
wait no actually
I remembered I found you just move to another side
tender oxide
Her and Poseidon are the worst
visual silo
btw
what's the benefit of doing an erebus door?
is it an extra room? the boon you get is higher?
tender oxide
The reward is good
It's counted as a miniboss
So you get double obol/centaur heart, 2 level poms, and upgraded rarity boons
Same goes for all minibosses
visual silo
ah I see
oh and also
I don't understand what changes on witch's circle fight when using the pact for minibosses
tender oxide
I've noticed they throw different projectiles but imo it makes it easier because they throw less
visual silo
witch's circle is the worst miniboss >_<
tender oxide
Unless if you have divine dash
winter harbor
I think the skullcrusher and medusa head is worse
tender oxide
Then you just dash around for a few seconds and it's over
With the ||pact condition|| that room is definitely worse
Normally I just sic ||than|| on the gorgon head and boom no more armor
But with the ||pact|| it moves around
And the skullcrusher does shockwaves that always seem to hit me
winter harbor
Guy already hits like a truck
tender oxide
His ||oar|| does more than ||Hades' swing||
visual silo
yeah but is super telegraphed
also there's this
after the fated list thing with ||hermes|| there's no incentive to go against them ever again
tender oxide
||300 obol & 20% discount is pretty good imo||
visual silo
but to risk losing resses?
tender oxide
Just hope to run into paty to refill
visual silo
ok, I'm at elysuim, wish me luck on getting the flame wheel thingy
dapper oracle
I don't like it but I watched a speedrun where the guy used only power shot
tender oxide
Tip 1: Don't use the bow
dapper oracle
lol
I struggle to enjoy the bow when dark thirst hits it
I have the same problem with the rail
tender oxide
Seriously though, if you don't like it don't use it & just stick to weapons you like
Rail is a lot of fun
wispy flax
Rail isnt too bad
dapper oracle
I don't want to just neglect the two when dark thirst comes around!
wispy flax
Its just spam Q + fire
dapper oracle
But it hurts!
wispy flax
Dodge a bit here and there
tender oxide
Just get zeus on attack, covering fire, and scatter bombs hammer
It's impossible to lose
dapper oracle
lol
dapper oracle
"covering fire"?
tender oxide
The only hidden aspect I can tolerate is sword
dapper oracle
Do you mean artemis' "extra arrows on hit" "Support Fire"?
wispy flax
I still havent found a DaeBae with Rail

Does dodge have i-frames?
manic bobcat
yee
just don't input an attack mid dash
in which case it would turn into a dash strike and you lose the i frames
but normal dash has i frames yes
wispy flax
How many frames is it?
glacial sedge
yeah, i've had encounters with Theseus and Hades where I've dashed at the right time from their aoe swings and dodged the whole thing
wispy flax
Whole duration of dash timer or the dash animation or is it something else?
manic bobcat
How many frames is it?
afaik, more than 2
glacial sedge
i usually did it right before the windup finished
tender oxide
At least 1 i-frame
wispy flax
Ok makes sense
tender oxide
It's quite a few, you can easily dodge most attacks with a well timed dodge

One QoL addition I'd like to see added to the game is if you're holding down fire with Exagryph that you automatically reload instead of trying to fire blanks
visual silo
that's the point tho :b

I feel like this was intentional so you can take the time reloading to use cast and special
instead of just standing there holding one button

No.
wispy flax
Aphrodite gave me a nice selection of boons and I accidentally tabbed back into the game and selected one without reading it
Luckily it was a +weakness on attack and Dio gave me hangover on special
Triple bomb with those two boons is quite nice
hollow loom
Oh okay. They just look quite similar to me at least. And Grace Jones was a ground breaking model for her gender bending appearance and pushing gender nonconformity. So I saw parallels and wanted to know. I hope no one takes that as an insult I just saw the similarities and it makes me very happy even if it’s unintentional. Also saying inspiration was wrong, I should have said was Grace Jones ever used as a reference. I apologize.
