I'm gonna try it with other weapons as well, so far sword and spear done for ||TD2||.
fists + plume is obviously a good choice
achilles is really good upgraded
isnt it
its only level 3 but its so much better than level 1 when i first used it
still need the
|| artemis demeter || duo
not to mention her legendary along with aphrodite
but i had a realyl good one and fulfilled the spear hammer prophecy so wasnt too bad
Crystal clarity is solid
how would hades to react to his depiction in hercules
yeah
just idndt get it
kept getting offered cold embrace
wrong boon game
also got my pom keepsake to max level so
free levels yay
Cold embrace is an interesting boon.
yeah ive got it before
just crystal clarity is the last one i need before having all the duo boons
so i can get that sweet ambrosia
got 3/6 companions now i need their levels
Good luck! I really like Crystal Clarity with Glacial Glare 😍
Your cast lasts longer and inflicts chill
I can see arctic blast being quite good with that package
anyway achilles spear + vicious spear
is really good
you do crits with bull rush
What is vicous spear?
your special does + 50 percent damage
and 50 percent chance for crit on recovery
normally it makes it amazing ofr backstabbing but with the achilles spear
Oh yeah, that one is sweet
you just run doing crits
yeah
i also got serrated point
which boosts your dash strikes
which i think would have helped uh if i had artemis dash
i didnt but
it was a fun boon
Hunter dash is great but I usually take dash damage boons before I take hunter dash personally
And even without hunter dash, serrated point is still quite good
yeah
still the combo would have been good
next run im gonna do
a run of || fo for the prophecy and to gather darkness ||
Seems good. Get that ambrosia!
yeah
just did my || first 5 heat run with spear ||
|| got everything done to 4 heat so gonna try and get that prophecy of conditions and mirror ||
Now do ||60 heat|| 😆
no
It's clearly the next logical step
Fine... 59 then. Don't wanna push you too much
Yes, it would
60 is the max that has been beaten
why not 61
No, there’s TD3, the only heat they don’t maximize is routine inspection
Ah, that makes sense.
And the extra dash
sounds tough
Its nice to know there's a long way if one really want to be challenged in this game.
Is a max heat run possible to clear ? I assume yes but who knows.
It's very very hard
Technically possible
But honestly, unlikely.
Max heat means no mirror (so no revive) and no healing
So you almost have to do virtually not hit run against mega buffed enemies while having to complete within 20 minutes.
Maybe tailesque could do it
Someone will eventually do it.
Might be a TAS in the end
I do think we can get 62 heat though
Sounds possible
Just hope approval process 2 gets you a minimum rare greatest reflex
tfw ||heat|| runs are harder not because of any of the expected reasons but because of the ||new rewards themselves|| meaning less darkness and in turn less health rec
does lucky tooth stack with death defiance?
yep
I don't get why people use the darkness health regen vs chamber regen
I get so much more value from chamber regen
well the post boss darkness bulk had been part of it
prob should swap over now though
wdym
You still don't really get much more from the chamber regen
you recovered a ton of health every time a boss dropped darkness
Most of the time I really only lose health on bosses
or got someting from siphylus or trove
or shop for dakrness
and it works with multipliers
including the 20% weapon one poseidons and anything from chaos
bascially you get max refilled severla times throughout arun though yeah new rewards seriously put a damper on it
I wonder if people will speedrun ||fresh file hell mode highest heat|| runs
like they die once so they can ||use the pact and then go from there||
What is Hades? (Wrong answers only)
Fishing
Oh.. it's the Norse mythology game... isnt it... Odin as your papa.... and you have Thor... god of thunder and lightbulbs... Mars.. of course.. god of War.... then you have Sif.. the chilly god.. yeah.. I sure love my Norse mythology... Hades is the game to have.. if you like Viking stuff.. 😄
is peer pressure still glitched?
Oh.. actually.. Hel is the Norse God equivalent to Hades.. hense... Hell I guess... Odin is actually Zeus... I thought it was Thor.. but Thor's Greek equivalent is Hephaestus... hmm..
How is PP glitched?
What is this glitch about peer pressure?
It it the one that does 8x damage?
If so then yes last I heard
no its the one that inflitcts more hangover
the duo boon?
No
I think it would be a cool feature in a later update, where after you clear your first escape attempt, you can encounter someone like Hephaestus or Daedalus somewhere as a random encounter, complete a bunch of tasks for them, and eventually unlock some kind of elevator that allows you to pick a floor to start on, kind of like the elevator function in Enter The Gungeon.
I actually think it would be cool.. if the sequel, Hades 2... where you would fight as an Olympian trying to get to Tart.... kinda of a reverse... maybe Zag has a Sister.. she's in Olmpian trying to get to him...
Peer pressure is the boon that has enemies inflicted by hangover deal hangover to enemies around them.
ahh.. was thinking of a different boon
hephaestus is hammer related but hes god of war and fertility not the forge, not hephaestus at all
Guys I suspect the two mythologies are different and there might not be an equivalence for every gods.
@rancid thorn ahh I see your point.. I'm just going off a wiki page.. shows Norse version of Thor as Hephaestus... although they may not be exactly the same... am sure they be some differences...
thor = zeus... not daedalus
what
Thor is famous for his hammer but that’s like the only similarity
Thor = god of thunder
The handle is infamously tiny because the dwarves had a fly bite the inside of their eyelid, which distracted them during the making
hthor is not zeus though in that sense
I think this finding equivalence between the two pantheons is stupid ngl
But the gods proclaimed the hammer to be the best out of the gods anyway
Comparing apples to oranges, really
Is there a videogame that covers Norse mythology?
as leader odin is equivalent power wise thor is
God of War xD
meanwhile thor rolewise is something dif
god of war reboot tbc
pretty thorugh actually with all the side lore
Norse and Greek dont have that many similarities
wasn't a reboot though, just a later game, really
The Norse gods were very different, since they could die and stuff, and like the time in the land in the giants, it also got weirdly profound at times
albeit you wont get into stuff involving some gods and some events
Greek and Egyptian are a bit closer
meant titlewise
like obv not entire god of war series
God of War was greek tho
does god of war have a norse variant now?
its awesome
Oh yeh
never playe doriginals
Ragnarok
please move this conversation to #off-topic-discussion if youre getting into different mythologies, or #video-games if youre getting into GoW 
||if we had a hammer weapon thered prob be a thor aspect||
||what other guys would be good conteders for hidden aspects of weapon we do have||
is that meg with her hair down in your pfp? @void vigil
Well, they gave Hestia a gun
||had they been different||
Yup, it's from an artwork posted in #announcements I think.
i have a question
42
why is this game SO GOOD
because supergiant
oh yea
they were able to pull on all the strong suits of their past games
utilize their experience
This is the first supergiant game Ive played, and it's made quite the first impression
wait, how did charon get into chaos? @manic bobcat
I played it for like six hours straight yesterday lma0
basiton has somewhat similar albeit simpler combat,pyre has amazing in depth story, I havent done much in transistor but its supposed to have depe characters and intercharacter relations and such
and is also isometric I think
anyways
Hi. I have a question/poll
Do you have all the cosmetics in the game (contruction, director badge, etc)?
If you do. How many hours and or runs did it take to get them?
¯_(ツ)_/¯ By the power of artistic freedom?
Or if you know where is the best place to ask this
Do not rob the shopkeeper
This is a rule in most roguelikes
And it is still true in Hades
Played both Basiton and Transistor.. I love the combat style in Transistor.. not for everyone.. but I do like stradgy games such as Xcom.. and Transistor is very unique..
Too long and too many :D
But eh, it's cosmetics and very minor at that
some of the construction stuf fis one thign but the badges seemed like almost comical fluff goal and its reflected in the names of the stuff
Minus the Director Badges, I would say around 150 Hours.
Thats what im thinking
Do we know if was on purposse?
I’m getting close to getting everything in the lounge and I already have everything in zag’s bedroom
Yeah basically
Hades must be so proud that his son owns a nude poster of Aphrodite
I only recenetly completed everything.. including the steam achievements.. took about 300 hours.. but I wasnt really hunting for everything.. just passively achieving them...
I was here since Early Access, we had a lot of stockpile resources and kinda "complained" about that.
it offers ntohing besides minor u changes its a pooint of pride feel cool type thing but is compeltley skippable if ya dont really care I'd argue
The Director Badges are too good to be an accident.
I only got the game since it's Steam release... so never knew the game previous to it's main release...
EA started on Epic, then spread to Steam.
maybe Early Access was on steam.. but I never even knew about the game.. until main release
So it was something for de EA guys?
That would be my guess. I am not a dev, I was just a round and saw the coincidence.
I think they originally intended for all of the EA period to be on epic, but when that proved to be a mess, they moved to steam
or just those wnating really endless goal
Doesn't mean causation, but it's p fair to say that imo.
Ok.
varatha keeps reminding me of blood of zeus
Its reassuring
Cosmetics are pretty
total is ||
325,000 Darkness
100 Chthonic Key
50 Nectar
10 Diamond
10 Ambrosia
10 Titan Blood
required to unlock all titles.||
Plus with your mirror maxed out you don’t really need darkness
broker only takes a bit ocassionally
well.. apart from ranking up.. you need Darkness... although it has no effect... but it's atleast soomething to focus on
I would like to see maybe a Major List of Fates.. other things to focus on...
But the badges are out of my reaxh
I was thinking in maybe a bonus from doing high heat runs
yeah
I'm pretty sure the team is hard at work bringing us new content..
I got 355 hours and still need something around 140k of darkness to complete all the badges
But i've played since EA
I'm surprised that completing the fates list isnt an actual Steam achievement
My assumption is that it takes too long
SGG doesn't want achievements to be gated behind too hard to reach walls.
Damn
I would be sad because my charon fate is bugged
Keep in mind that resource rate in EA is a bit less than what it is now.
You can "farm" things decently faster now.
ohh.. bugged?
Even lower. Double damb
it was my last fate I completed...
Beat him twice. Didnt get it
Well if you started in 1.0, you can get the same amount of resources faster.
twice in a row?
strange one.. difinately submit a report... you might need a new save... but that sucks...
I tried to start a new hell mode save game as well.. but when I went back into my main save.. it then over wrote my new save... game still has a few bugs I guess.. but nothing that's game breaking... I still love it
Well. Love the game. Im going to stop waiting resources in the badges ahahaha
Yeah, best approach tbh.
do everything else first.. then go for badges...
Will do
What kinda builds you like to run?
I started focus'ing more on Duo boons and even aiming for Legendary's.. I'm pretty good at hitting them.. when you understand the mechanics..
go with Posidon knockback on that.. some dude called it.. the rope-a-dope build..
lol.. pull and push them.. it's an amazing build.. I love it myself
was difinately one of my earlier favourites..
Yeah
Posiedon is op
Pretty much rupture bounce splash
Im doing heat runs one at a time. Im at 21
yeah.. if you get a Dio boon as well.. and go for the Ellusive Access duo boon.. then all your boons will be epic... then you have a sweet run
yeah.. also did the same.. got up to 20 heat with all weapons first.. then going for heat 25 now with all weapons.. 24 on fists so far.. but it is getting really hard now.. difinately need to focus on strong builds
yeah same
And done ahahaha
focus'ing on cystal beam builds.. with the stygian soul... it's working really well
hunting blades is amazing.. if you can hit it... Ares/Artemis duo boon
The RPG in me is thinking.. gonna need big Area of Effect damage to get through the higher heat
But the crits are sweet
Higher runs i think are hammer dependant
The 900% to armor
Is clutch
that's just insance to be honest.. lol.. love that
am more leaning towards distance builds on these higher heat levels...
melee is tough.. as you will take damage... and sometimes too much..
or maybe a tank build.. and use Aphro's weak.. not really tried to aim for a tank build yet..
the bow.. or even the rail gun... especially it's hidden aspect.. can be room clearing..
shhh
Maybe there is a better fist than magnetic
not allowed to mention the name of the hidden's.. unless you use || spoiler tags ||
Sorry hahaha
I made that mistake too.. many times.. lol
I've played with the fist's hidden too || since it has 2 additional dashes ||.. you can change the mirror option for || 1 dash ||
and get some extra defence
actually.. you just gave me an idea for a build
I have everthing maxed in the mirror
you should try playing with the Sygian Soul.. only gives 1 cast and regenerates.... especially if you get extra casts from Chaos or Artemis Legendary... hunting blades or Demeter's crystal cast is just epic...
it allows you to focus more on spamming cast ocassionaly and dodging and fighting rather than midnding as much where ya left it
took me awhile.. but I can figured it out.. but be sure to check your Codex all the time.. have a plan in mind.. and hunt for the duo boons... art's and demeters duo is great...
sometimes I like a blind run.. but use your codex.. and to be honest.. you will generally hit the boons you want.. if you play the right rooms.. sometimes I don't even take the trial of the gods rooms.. knowing that I will get them both again.. and they will offer their duo's easier..
Are the french traductors on Discord ?
Check #hades-localization maybe?
oh.. and another little tip bit.. the very first room when you start a run.. you will be always given the same rarity of boons.. for example.. if you start a run.. and get a boon that gives an Epic Attack.. then your give simply give up the run.. and start with a different weapon or keepsake.. you will always get an Epic Attack... knowing this.. you can plan a run
Yes, the seed is the same if you give up
yeah.. especiall if you get Chaos in the first room.. knowing this.. you can replan your run from the start
up the heat too..
when doing a boonless run do you have to cross your fingers that the game will give you the satyr sack on the second path or it doesn't care?
not figured that one out yet.. but I think speedrunners know... I think lower heat levels will always give it on 2nd room..
yeah got that today.. with 6 Stygian Soul's casts.. hit the Legendary Artemis with the Chaos cast.. you pretty much don't have to do anything.. lol
is it me or Exagryph's aspect of Eris works inconsistently? I see that sometimes there are VFX showing that I've got a bonus after special but sometimes they're not shown at all. And it feels like it happens when the missile falls directly onto the enemy
yeah.. 3 from the chaos.. and art's legendary
strange actually.. on styx.. I actually had 4 gods
in the tunnels
3 on chaos?? wew
yeah
is that one or multiple?
three chaos rooms, all having cast, wew
I only used my rerolls in choas rooms to be sure to hit the casts
quick question, should i be frugal with how I spend my Diamonds/TitansBlood/Ambrosia? Since so far I've only been getting them from bosses
sounds fun
Spoiler-free answer if possible
it was loads of fun
this is especially painful cause it auto-aims to the enemy itself, so each time you gotta move it a little bit
no not really @loud lintel but better to not spend on zag aspects, as it doesn't count towards something
lol.. casts last longer and inflicting chill.. basically it was infinately beams
you get them slower than other resources but you can still get them infinitely
so don't worry about buying the wrong thing or anything like that
no need to use diamonds to buy ambrosia, just use diamonds at the contractor
what are the good deals in the lounge that i should be on the lookout for?
always aim for anything that changes the dynamics of the game.. everything else is mainly cosmetic
I saved up for the most expensive stuff first.. and worked down from their..
oh i meant the resource deals that the shade at the lounge offers
Anything that says 'work orders'
not the contractor
any resource for titan blood?
thanks a bunch!
no worries
12 runs to beat the big boss for the first time
titan blood is available in the final shop in the final area, and there is 240 available from clears once you start going thru again. (you'll see when you get there) @loud lintel
so you have plenty available for all the upgrades to be maxed and have much extra after that
How many titan blood to max everything btw ?
I'm currently farming blood with heat runs with every weapons, I want to unlock every aspects and try them all.
this is post-final boss right?
i found a site that said 306
if so, I'll worry about that when i get there 😂
yeah, the final boss is not the end of the game
hi everyone, I have one question to be interpreted however you choose, what is your favorite non-hidden aspect?
the story and the progression keeps going
it works consistently. It's probably a visual bug or your not fully in the blast range
final boss first time is like 15% of the story
I am currently in love with talos and zag fists
You get 2 titan blood each full run.. 1 at end of first boss and 1 at the end... you will then need to increase your heat level to get further titan blood for that weapon... you'll be able to manage it.. but anytime you see it being offered from the trader.. take it..
uh let me know if I should spoiler that, I don't know if the existence of aspects is a spoiler
I mean, I even got the 6-missile upgrade and it still doesn't show up sometimes. And I tested it on Skelly - based on the damage numbers, it actually doesn't work, I think..
only the ||legendary aspects||
probably a bug then or ur doing smt wrong
@pale skiff Funny enough, I've started saving my obols in the hopes that charon is selling titan blood or diamonds in the temple of styx
as far as I understood, it's just supposed to be activated when the missile hits the floor? There's nothing about actually hitting an enemy or something
it activates if it hits the floor when ur in the blast radius
@dapper oracle I actually did the same.. but released how the heat levels worked.. in fact.. you can put your heat level the whole way up to max.. so long as you clear Tart.. you will get a blood.. don't need to complete the entire run..
but it doesn't seem to say so in the description..
it does
"For 4 seconds after absorbing your Special's blast, deal more damage."
ah
there's ur problem
lmao
ooo
it might have been different for another language
u might wanna write like a report saying to clarify things in whatever language u were playing on
yeah, I know but it's kinda hard to explain... i feel like the original description itself might be a little confusing
yea
the "absorb" part might be a bit confusing
it might have been like easier to maybe say like "if your in the blast radius during the explosion of your special"
@pale skiff I think re: heat ||you have to beat the final boss in order to unlock the bounty for the next heat level|| though
this and also maybe something like "after **you **absorb"
@dapper oracle well what actually happens... is if you complete say heat 5.. and only beat Tart.. and get the blood.. and if you die in Aspho... then if you start the same heat again.. then you will only get Darkness for Tart.. but the other bounty's is available..but I think I know what you mean.. you can't then up your level to heat 6 and get blood again?... am not sure...
This is awesome
@pale skiff ||let's say your heat is 1 for fists. If you set your heat to 10 and beat the furies 10 times but die before beating hades each time, you will get 1 titan's blood and 9 darkness||
@pale skiff ||You need to beat hades in order to unlock the next level of heat||
I was really hopeful that the ||pact of punishment|| would allow me to ||get a large amount of titans blood out of the furies without having to beat hades|| but sadly that's not how it works
granted ||beating hades with no harmful heat modifiers on him|| is suddenly not difficult for me, which is nice
mainly owing to me maxing out death defiance instead of running with stubborn defiance
@verbal venture || I hear you.. to be honest.. I'm not 100% on it.. the way I did it was.. beating a heat on each weapon... but in truth.. I redid the same heat and the darkness helped with healing, so usually find myself completing that heat anyways on a 2nd try... but I know what you mean.. so you saying.. if I do heat 2.. and get blood from furies.. and die.. I simply just can't up my heat to 6.. and get blood again?.. ||
||The bounties screen on the pact of punishment tells you what rewards you've earned for that heat level||
||i.e. if there is still a question mark, you can earn that bounty.||
Let's take this to DM so we're not filling the chat with spoilers
sure
are than and zag brothers?
Wait wait wait
like zag calls nyx ||his mom|| and than's mom is nyx soooo like
well zag is ||adopted||
so ||adopted incest||?
They're very close
||You can even date Than later in the game!||
I like than
He's my favorite overworked bisexual bishonen
but he's his adopted brother
My dear Doctor Russia
This is Greek mythology :)
There is a lot of incest in Greek mythology
||no it's not incest at all, nyx takes on the role of adoptive mother for many including the fury sisters, they are not blood related at all||
yeah and they reworked the story to ||remove a lot of incest like hera isnt related to zeus||
@granite ether I'm under the impression that Than and Zag were close growing up, I feel like they treated each other as brothers for a while
Not sure if Than is older than Zag actually
"growing up" is weird for gods
Can I just say ||how much I hate those bomb wheely things||
@brisk trail Stygius, no aoe or range boons, and your cast is Aphrodite
do u think they actually recorder their cats' meowing for them
||raised by the same woman is adopted tho, and saying adopted incest doesnt matter cause it's not blood invalidates adopted familys as whole because it's like saying they arent real familyies||
||They knew that they weren't brothers, they may have treated each other that way but they definitely knew they weren't||
And Zag runs straight into a group of them cause I dashed upward instead of downward-
@granite ether The wiki says they did not in fact grow up together
||While his relationship with Zagreus is officially described as childhood friends, Thanatos did not grow up with Zagreus. Thanatos will make several remarks about having met Persephone through the course of the game, while Zagreus never knew previously that she was his mother. Some confusion about this may arise from the Portrait, Cerberus item that can be purchased at the Contractor, but this item does not depict canon events due to Skelly's inclusion in the image.||
Copied and pasted from Additional Notes on the Thanatos page
I know the developers might not read this before it gets lost in the sea of discussion but I just want to say how greatful I am that this game exists. I've always been a fan of rouge like games from binding of isaac, to slay the spire, enter the gungeon ect. Hades has reignited my love for the genre and has really helped me get through all the craziness over this past year. So thank you supergiant. The time and effort you've out into this title really shows.
I think we are splitting hair on the meaning of growing up together
And thanks for the emotes 
I think Than knew ||that Persephone was Zagreus' mother|| before Zag knew
though I guess ||he could have been sworn into silence by Hades||
Anyways this is a better discussion for #h1-story-discussion
Do you guys use Screen Shake. In other games it usually bothers me but I didn't feel the need to turn it off
i do
It's never caused problems for my controls like the screen shake for path of exile did, so I've never turned it off
Screen shake in Celeste is an actually a toggle for "hard mode"
just got
the divine pairings prophecy
then spent all the ambrosia between
|| maxing out battie, leveling rib giving to skelly and buying 1 titan blood ||
totalling in 12 ambrosia
worth it
nice!
thanks
just doing some runs focusing on prophecies
to get titan blood and stuff etc
lemme post the run it was a bit of a meme at points
I got winter harvest for the first time and I didn't expect it to work on bosses, that's amazing.
||Demeter|| legendary boon btw.
Its too good, saves 10% off enemies hp.
I doubt it'll work on ||Hades|| tho but we'll see.
Sure thank you.
anyway i went for huge catch in the run
cause i didnt want to use poseidon boons on my attacks
didnt catch too many fish but i did catcha stonewhal in styx
does Hermes' "Rush Delivery" work only during buffed speed or always?
meaning, for example, only during a few seconds after a dash because he got a speed boost after that or always
nvm i think i got it
Now that's a bold assumption to make
probably tried it yet by now
When you get the movement from hypersprint is when you get the bonus damage. When the movement goes away, so does the bonus damage
Now something like greater haste is permanent, so you will always have that bonus damage
oh no, i shouldn't have picked then... i only got the boost after my dash
I started playing a few days ago and Gota say loving it. 😎
Hyper Sprint is a very good combo for rush delivery
Trust me @misty harbor , that isn't a bad choice.
i like hyper sprint
Why ?
I died btw.
oh
Sadly there were a fishing spot.
thats a shame
well you can try it next time
did the fishing spot kill you
did a flameater jump out of the magma and
engulf zagreus
In short, demeter isn't choosy
how come, it's like 1s that I usually might use for reload or screaming while running from someone or something
Well, if you hyper sprint into a dash strike, that is 100% bonus damage. That's pretty damn good!
I'm using the bow so I'm not as good with it even tho I'm getting better with it but I feel like the ice boons I had was making the ground brighter so I could barely see when there were attacks coming.
True but from a game point of view I assume it wouldn't work, I'll find out next time.
Rush delivery will also boost dash boons, like tidal or passion dash.
Why do you think it won't work?
Consider Phase 1 of the final fight to be 50% of the enemy's health bar.
Then phase 2 is the other 50
Well you see in games, those kind of OP effects usually dont apply to bosses.
It's not op, you still have quite a bit of work to do yourself
Yes not that OP but pretty good.
For first phase I dont know actually I called Aphrodite with max gauge to finish him.
That's awesome.
Wut?
Lol
You really went into the lava and just kept going. What an absolute madlad, I love it.
That’s the wall Hades is building in Hadestown
Lava where?
Do you mean surrounding every Asphodel stage?
Because like, the screen stops scrolling...
the sexual tension ||between Zag and Meg when fighting her after having romanced her, i-|| 
can i focus on the fight, lady please
||than better than meg||
|| like I'm all for having meg for myself but not for my boi zag xD ||
||why not have both, honestly||
I tried it in the first room of asphodel in the direction that the dock is pointing
their tension is so different, I'm loving it
||cuz polygamy just feels strange but there Greek gods so I mean I suppose it's fine||
|| exactly 😎 ||
one thing stays the same - Zag is such a softie who doesn't understand hints and doesn't play along lol
Blame it on the fact that his childhood was so good that he just thinks everyone being nice are freinds (this is a theory but I swear it's legit)
on a scale from hades to kratos how well do you and your greek dad get along?
has anyone else have trouble getting the Aphrodite favour after forging a bond with someone?
I have been trying to get it for ages but she just refuses to give it to me
wear her keepsake lvl 3?
been there done that
the wiki says you need to have relationships with all of the romance paths started
what do rocket bomb and the multi bombs look like stacked? it was advice for running with eris rail but it seems like it would be really inconvenient for that??
also i love playing with eris rail. i am terrible at it.
Hi, I have a question, I can't seem to unlock Thanatos heart, it worked in my first playthrough with the whole giving-ambrosia thing but now on my second save file, I'm stuck on it. What should I do?
It’s really good with eris
For the rocket bombs, you want to be within melee range so the buff can proc
wow didn't know Zag can even reply to the player's questions https://youtu.be/D0klH5QIKuE?t=437
(if you're too lazy to watch, a streamer asked if the Chaos boon was over and Zag just said "yes" all of the sudden)

Did you see what I posted in #h1-builds-and-combat ?
Sorry, I drank all your nectar - was tasty
Bastard
lol embarrassed myself by posting a heat 1 run with aspect of poseidon and noticing that no one uses god mode on the victoy boasting channel 😄
I got a little.. Too Gung ho on raising Olympians relationships
i lost a dd to theseus
last run
thats embarassing forme
i didnt play safe enough
Get your win, brag about it!
theres no penalty or shame in using god mode ok
Not as bad as losing a dd to regular enemies in Tartarus
I lost a DD to meg, bone hydra, random room in elysium, and Styx lol all in one 1 run. I kept buying em for 200 a pop. SAD DAY
Got to boss with 1. Lost lol
I had a bad build and I just wasn't paying attention to anything
Taking damage for no reason
I died to lava in Asphodel after losing a dd to enemies in Tartarus, boss in Tartarus, and enemies in Asphodel
This was after I had beat 12 ||heat|| btw
Good times lol
It was a bad run
I was on like a 7 win streak or something
yeah i just
Felt bad
Ahh, naa i don't care about it. I wanna keep the stuff I gained
Gota say the spear is so good.
Most fun I had was hera bow, but im still unlocking things
The bow is so strange to use. The charge main attack feels so slow in the game.
You gotta dash attack
I had a good run with it when the q special volly had doom on it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhyaDZqV1L0 go to the last run if you wanna see how nuts if you wanna see how nuts it can be

wow
Yeah doom is super good
Lightning attack + support fire melts everything
Also had a run where I had a ton of reflect on a bunch of my abilities and attacks and I felt like I just could not be hit.
Pew pew
Aside from bow
yeah
no the bows good
even my least favourite the fists
feelgood to use
not all the time
Why
You just beat up the enemies faster
The only issue with fists is armored enemies and there's a hammer for that that makes dash-strike do +900% damage to them
yeah im not good with distancing and fists
oh yeah
i love
long knuckle + lightning on main
helps alot with range
these friggin nicknames lmao
achilles spear specifically
I just zoom all over the place
Yeah spear is prob my Fav it's like fists just a little slower but way more range and a throwable special and aoe attack.
Its so nice
my favourite is probably hades but i like zagreus and achilles alot
Shield was my first weapon to clear
Shield is nice for stunlocking enemies into walls
i like about achilles
same with shield
is that the achilles upgrades are all very powerful for it
+25 percent bonus damagt
Zeus is by far the best shield aspect
I wanted my first clear to be bow but made it with shield
Power shot
👀
beowulf with charged shot but you gotta get the hammer first
I don't like how slow the Zeus shield flies - I used it once and it just felt so awkward to use
charged shot is very good
got it with chaos once
pure ranged soam
spam
i mean the
projectile one
that makes the charge a projectile
If you can get zeus or dio on the special you just throw it where enemies are spawning and deal with some other ones on your own
you go from projectile into multiple shields
@high island should check Wriste's stream
hey who's playing Hades rn I wanna watch them
duunk0 for non meme runs?
I think he is doing speedruns though. not many people stream pure gameplay that is not blind tbh
I mean like in a private call where they stream it for me to watch AND i CAN ALSO talk to them
we don't have a steam/voice chat channel on this server, unfortunately
streamers are all you have, really
What I'm explaining, I've done a few times
Another can't hurt, just gotta find someone willing
i'll be streaming a 3 weapon speedrun with commentary. Not going for fast so much as i wanna see what my borderline speed is. So yeah you could hang out and talk
it will probably be on saturday or sunday
i was super hoping somebody would actually watch me do it cause i dont like have friends or anything
and theres no point in doing a run if nobodys there to stand around looking impressed xD
THAT'S WHAT M SAYING
have fun both!
What was the amount of runs when you first ||escaped||
16
It's you getting used to the game sense, that's the line you have to cross to escape the first time.
I will admit, Hades is very tough at first
sup
@hearty ridge If you let me watch one of your runs live on discord, I could help you.
it's meant to be tough, so it makes sense
ooh spoilers guys
AH I'M SORRY
i smell bad vibes
How to censor?
put || on both sides of the word or phrase
What build did u use @storm pollen
Hold on I gotta beat the last boss for the 56th time then I can check
thanatos' hair takes a hard left, a hard right, in the center of his head
lol
a friend gifted me Hades last night and i have been enjoying every second of it
it's normal for new players to not get a clear in 20-30 runs
I've seen as many as 45 without one
I think I was around 30 runs before I got my first clear
So, do I need to finish the final boss with the spear to unlock it's fourth form, or just talk to achilles more times? I feel like I'm way behind on these
nope, having reached the final boss once should suffice
have you unlocked 5 non- zag aspects?
@teal ocean
So I wanna do a cold embrace build. What weapon do you think would work best for this?
wait a minute
ok so
an overwatch streamer with almost 200k followers just joined the hades speedrun discord
Yes @granite ether , I have all of the normal ones unlocked now, and I spent more in the spear just to be sure
good, show him the real truth
nah it's just people want to play good games
I guess people don't know anything about cold embrace
they are just people
i know but like
just kind of surprising
I did not expect him to be doing this haha
by all the normal ones you mean specifically spear yeah?
if yes, you need to unlock 3 more non-zag aspects, it doesn't matter the weapon
not really surprising, Hades is all over the media for being a GotY winner/contender and was just on AGDQ
it's popular
it's actually one of the most viewed gdq runs so far
I believe only 3 games have more views
Metal Gear Solid IV, Skyrim, and Diablo III
US nights
I cant stress this enough
his first run was one of the unluckiest runs I have ever seen
maybe because people rarely keep going with runs that bad
also the pre run announcer did the intro in the Hades style
doctor no was great
he hung out on the speedrun discord
even did runs himself
his charon impression was spot on too

yeah that shield run was pretty oof in terms of RNG
it got a bit better with an ixion and charged shot (the best hammer for beowulf)
but those first 2 biomes
absolutely awful
yeah charged shot like, saved the run for him
I would have panicked hard in that situation
having to burn 3 rerolls in the very first room is like big oofs
I think vorime mentioned thinking about backup strats in case he didn't get the boon he wanted
probably practiced that
idk why he didn't go for passion flare
I've been saying a new term
if you roll twice and don't get the core boon you want, you got Vorime'd
lol that happens a lot
lmao I didnt even notice he had a than in Asphodel
unluckiest run ever
I would ditch even on a casual run
he had than all 3 runs
I wonder if it would have been faster for vorime to reset
like live
@granite ether No I mean for every weapon, I've finished through with every weapon at least once except the spear and fists now
I suppose that would kind of ruin the fun
he was like 10 min off usual pace
if he resets after Tartarus it's probably faster
probably woulda been faster to reset yeah
I would have reset
but I guess that wouldn't be as entertaining
actually it's probably a reset worthy halfway through tartarus
once he had the boons filled and it's clear that the RNG was horrible
I'd suggest having a look at the 2nd pinned message in #h1-story-discussion, it has the unlock conditions there for the 4th aspects
resetting isn't against rules, in fact vorime didn't even show his death before the run which would have made it invalud anyway lol
I mean not like it would have beaten his pb given marathon luck and fishing/petting
well he fishes in Asphodel knowing it's not a fast run anyway
but it's good for show
I would argue the bad RNG run showed the game in a better way
I mean I wish we could see moist [hidden shield] live on twitch dot television slash games done quick

Cold embrace was OP with achilles spear. Easiest game of my life!!
As long as you have glacial glare (may not be needed), you are golden
I got to prove to myself that cold embrace and curse of drowning are solid boons. Today is a good day 😁
Tbh, I really hope they change unshakeable mettle. It is a pretty mediocre boon
Lament of orpheus...
I just beat the final boss for the first time
damn how did people escape in 16 runs
I had like 53
Hard to tell without seeing their runs. Different people play at different pace.
Not to mention thousands of other factors like experience, luck, familiarity with the game from watching videos/streams, God Mode, etc.
Also people who clear faster tends to report their progress more often so there is also a response bias.
As long as you have fun, who cares if Jim next door clears the game first try.
So, congratulations!
Thanks
I usually died due to not trying hard enough I guess
Elysium also sucks 😭
Yee, it does.
But like I was surprised I beat the final boss I though it would be way worse
Some people have really good mechanics naturally from other games.
I had a pretty good build with the rail though
Is it bad that elysium is my favorite zone
And honestly, if you can hit dodge in time, you'll pretty much always win
Doesn't matter your build
Zeus shot, zeus cast, and zeus artemis duo boon for the lightning cast, and the zeus legendary for lighting
that's how I won probably
rail is so good with zeus
Ah yes, the infamous just don't get hit.
Pretty much lol
I had the Daedalus upgrade for rapid homing fire and +6 bullets
The area is cool and the music is so good and the enemies are literally guys with weapons who are better at the weapons than you and then the boss fight .... wow
Dodging isn't that hard
I'm not one of those guys. I die a lot
Pqssssss
Passsss
:p
Gimme the extra dash so I can just never stop dashing
And hope I don't get hit
👀 yee hard pass for me too dawg
Way more helpful for me
Extra dashes don't really do much
Exactly
They're nice
But like if you time it right 50% dodge is crazy
My favorite zone is probably temple of styx
You have a nice build
Also dope boss and doesn't drag out for too long
like elysium
The chambers never end
The shield guys suck
Which boons do you guys always go for and never go for?
I always go for artemis, ares, and dionysus
never aphrodite
Aphrodite is great
Nope
Aphrodite can be interesting if you use Privileged Status.
I think all her boons suck except the weakness ones
So, like all of them?
Well even some of the weakness ones are bad
It's status is one of the easiest to apply in the game, so you can easily get that and Ares' Doom status to get more or less constant 40%+
fair enough
I think the least god boons i take are poseidons
But ig its also bc i dont see him very often
That's true. I think the call is situational, but the situations it is good, makes it incredible
I really like posiedon especially with razor shoals and stuff
I also like Empty Inside, again, for Privileged Status
I love his rupture
If I have the boon on special, Empty Inside makes it take longer before I have to re-apply
Also, ugh, Curse of Longing. Disgusting duo boon.
Tbh i never really bother reading each boons name
I just recognize them from their desc
It's easier when you play, yeah
It's so good!
Are you kidding me I was doing so well, I had gotten to the minotaur with the spear and a crap ton of Dionysus boons and I died
I lost so much progress
I only got like 200 darkness and 3 keys
I can never get any good items on my runs so idk how to progress
Hey guys quick question, I'm on around run 80 and have most keepsakes leveled up and pretty much all of the achievements, but the darn Gilgamesh weapon won't drop from Asterious lol. Is there anything I'm missing? I have almost all of the hidden aspects lvled up with a lot of them to max and I have most of the Chthonic Companions. Dunno what I'm missing haha
seems like dialouge queue maybe?
Can you try asking in #h1-story-discussion they might know more
Upgrade your mirror and equip god keepsakes to get more consistency out of your runs
Ok thanks
I’m thinking of using ares’ keepsake as I find he consistently gives me useful boons
Killed lernie with jolted and I could not be happiet about it
Or what god keepsake should I use
Which god to equip depends on your weapon, really. There is a pinned guide in #h1-for-new-players if you want to check it out.
If you want more in depth answer about which god and why for each weapon, you can ask there, too, or #h1-builds-and-combat if you don't mind spoilers.
Ty
Part of the fun is figuring out how you like to play
I'm curious to see if they will make a dlc with the Titans
x for doubt
After looking at cerberus for long enough, dogs with 1 head start looking a bit weird
three heads better than one
You know what, I know longer care what anyone says, there really aren't any 'bad' duo boons
Parting Shot is very gimmicky, but that's the worst of them iirc
no bad boons, just things that dont work with your current build 
parting shot is the one that boosts your cast damage from behind right
Yes it id
maybe except Cold Embrace
False, Cold embrace can be amazing!
show me!
i had parting shot during my crush shot hera bow run lol, im sure it came in handy for that
I had a really solid cold embrace run with achilles shield.
Apart from pomming the cast a lot, the only extra thing I got was a common glacial glare
hera bow with crush shot is such a meme
The damage was nuts!
i should try that one again on higher heat
I've yet to try out Hera bow yet - I need to get some more titan blood first
@vapid narwhal this may be the fastest I have killed the final boss
Also, don't forget to use stygian soul
Stygian soul is really good for crystal beam
Wow! I only need 5 titan blood left and then I'll max out every weapon. Hard to believe
ahhh
i got to hades for my first time on my 15th run
i use the sheild does anybody know like any tips for him?
Block his beams with the shield, and then charge at him right after.
Otherwise, just wack 'em whenever he's not trying to hit you lol
lol
Try doing a hit and run
Tbh that's what I do all the time
yea thats what i was planning for but i was extremly unprepared
Run away whenever he attacks and dash back and hit him as much as you can
i had like 7 health and no death respawns
Block and dash are your major friends in there
Well no one beats hades on their first try
i got him real low tho i thought i was gonna do it 😦
You'll do it eventually
o
😬
Things
You should figure this stuff out yourself
Won't be fun if we just told you
How do you get the ||secret charon fight||?
||Mid shop will sometimes have pouch. Take pouch||
Charon is quite difficult tho so only fight him if you have good boons
Yeah lol I have no clue how to do it
||wow||
|| So true ||
Holy wow it worked
Does the pact of punishment make the fury’s harder?
Will it like give them new moves and or will it just make them do more damage and spawn enemies?
are you talking about ||extreme measures||?
Say, who were the ||Furies' parents|| again?
||some sources say they came from uranus' (cronos' father) blood and others say they came from nyx||
Huh, weird.
