Thank you !

craggy barn
#

cursed slash is always good

#

even with (hidden aspect spoiler) ||arthur||

lyric wharf
#

I'm gonna try it with other weapons as well, so far sword and spear done for ||TD2||.

craggy barn
#

fists + plume is obviously a good choice

hushed schooner
#

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

waxen juniper
rancid thorn
#

how would hades to react to his depiction in hercules

hushed schooner
#

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

waxen juniper
#

Cold embrace is an interesting boon.

hushed schooner
#

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

waxen juniper
#

Good luck! I really like Crystal Clarity with Glacial Glare 😍

hushed schooner
#

what does glacial glare

#

do

waxen juniper
#

Your cast lasts longer and inflicts chill

hushed schooner
#

ooh

#

cool

waxen juniper
#

I can see arctic blast being quite good with that package

hushed schooner
#

anyway achilles spear + vicious spear

#

is really good

#

you do crits with bull rush

waxen juniper
#

What is vicous spear?

hushed schooner
#

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

waxen juniper
#

Oh yeah, that one is sweet

hushed schooner
#

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

waxen juniper
#

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

hushed schooner
#

yeah

#

still the combo would have been good

#

next run im gonna do

#

a run of || fo for the prophecy and to gather darkness ||

waxen juniper
#

Seems good. Get that ambrosia!

hushed schooner
#

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 ||

waxen juniper
#

Now do ||60 heat|| 😆

hushed schooner
#

no

waxen juniper
#

It's clearly the next logical step

hushed schooner
#

no

#

wait would that

#

|| unlock all the statues at once ||

waxen juniper
#

Fine... 59 then. Don't wanna push you too much

hushed schooner
#

isn't

#

that never done before

waxen juniper
#

Yes, it would

hushed schooner
#

ok

#

is 60 done before

waxen juniper
#

60 is the max that has been beaten

hushed schooner
#

why not 61

waxen juniper
#

I dunno what they don't add

#

I am guessing TD3 is not chosen

hushed schooner
#

i think uh

#

the mirror one

winter harbor
#

No, there’s TD3, the only heat they don’t maximize is routine inspection

hushed schooner
#

ive heard that makes it very hard

#

cause of the || lost death defiance??||

waxen juniper
#

Ah, that makes sense.

winter harbor
#

And the extra dash

hushed schooner
#

sounds tough

lyric wharf
#

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.

manic bobcat
#

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.

winter harbor
#

Maybe tailesque could do it

manic bobcat
#

Highest completed is 60 btw.

#

Compared to max of 64.

winter harbor
#

Not me right now

#

Even tailesque used the extra dash and stubborn defiance

lyric wharf
#

Someone will eventually do it.

manic bobcat
#

We can hope

#

But it's much harder than it sounds

winter harbor
#

Might be a TAS in the end

manic bobcat
#

I do think we can get 62 heat though

tender oxide
#

Sounds possible

winter harbor
#

Just hope approval process 2 gets you a minimum rare greatest reflex

rancid thorn
#

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

hoary zealot
#

does lucky tooth stack with death defiance?

rancid thorn
#

yep

swift violet
#

I don't get why people use the darkness health regen vs chamber regen

#

I get so much more value from chamber regen

rancid thorn
#

well the post boss darkness bulk had been part of it

#

prob should swap over now though

swift violet
#

wdym

tender oxide
#

You still don't really get much more from the chamber regen

rancid thorn
#

you recovered a ton of health every time a boss dropped darkness

tender oxide
#

Most of the time I really only lose health on bosses

rancid thorn
#

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

mint forum
#

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||

waxen juniper
#

What is Hades? (Wrong answers only)

storm pollen
#

Fishing

pale skiff
#

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.. 😄

fallen torrent
#

is peer pressure still glitched?

pale skiff
#

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?

manic bobcat
#

What is this glitch about peer pressure?

#

It it the one that does 8x damage?

#

If so then yes last I heard

pale skiff
#

it's what now?

#

it's x8 crit chance?

fallen torrent
#

no its the one that inflitcts more hangover

pale skiff
#

the duo boon?

winter harbor
#

No

outer ridge
#

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.

pale skiff
#

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...

waxen juniper
#

Peer pressure is the boon that has enemies inflicted by hangover deal hangover to enemies around them.

pale skiff
#

ahh.. was thinking of a different boon

rancid thorn
manic bobcat
#

Guys I suspect the two mythologies are different and there might not be an equivalence for every gods.

pale skiff
#

@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...

brisk trail
#

thor = zeus... not daedalus

manic bobcat
#

what

winter harbor
#

Thor is famous for his hammer but that’s like the only similarity

brisk trail
#

Thor = god of thunder

winter harbor
#

The handle is infamously tiny because the dwarves had a fly bite the inside of their eyelid, which distracted them during the making

rancid thorn
#

hthor is not zeus though in that sense

manic bobcat
#

I think this finding equivalence between the two pantheons is stupid ngl

winter harbor
#

But the gods proclaimed the hammer to be the best out of the gods anyway

manic bobcat
#

Comparing apples to oranges, really

winter harbor
#

Is there a videogame that covers Norse mythology?

rancid thorn
#

as leader odin is equivalent power wise thor is

manic bobcat
rancid thorn
#

meanwhile thor rolewise is something dif

#

god of war reboot tbc

#

pretty thorugh actually with all the side lore

swift violet
#

Norse and Greek dont have that many similarities

manic bobcat
winter harbor
#

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

rancid thorn
#

albeit you wont get into stuff involving some gods and some events

swift violet
#

Greek and Egyptian are a bit closer

rancid thorn
#

like obv not entire god of war series

brisk trail
#

God of War was greek tho

rancid thorn
#

just the latest one

#

yeah WAS

#

latest isnt

brisk trail
#

does god of war have a norse variant now?

rancid thorn
#

the new god of war ps4 one

#

is norse

brisk trail
#

that game looks cool

#

don't have it

rancid thorn
#

its awesome

dusky hatch
#

Oh yeh

rancid thorn
#

never playe doriginals

dusky hatch
#

Ragnarok

void vigil
rancid thorn
#

||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||

brisk trail
#

is that meg with her hair down in your pfp? @void vigil

winter harbor
#

Well, they gave Hestia a gun

rancid thorn
#

||had they been different||

manic bobcat
brisk trail
#

i have a question

rancid thorn
#

42

brisk trail
#

why is this game SO GOOD

rancid thorn
#

because supergiant

brisk trail
#

oh yea

rancid thorn
#

they were able to pull on all the strong suits of their past games

#

utilize their experience

dusky hatch
#

This is the first supergiant game Ive played, and it's made quite the first impression

brisk trail
#

wait, how did charon get into chaos? @manic bobcat

dusky hatch
#

I played it for like six hours straight yesterday lma0

rancid thorn
#

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

stoic fulcrum
#

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?

brisk trail
#

i need help to get into transistor

#

seemed slow and I didn't get past the first hour

manic bobcat
stoic fulcrum
hollow thunder
#

Do not rob the shopkeeper

#

This is a rule in most roguelikes

#

And it is still true in Hades

pale skiff
#

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..

manic bobcat
#

But eh, it's cosmetics and very minor at that

rancid thorn
#

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

manic bobcat
#

Minus the Director Badges, I would say around 150 Hours.

stoic fulcrum
#

Do we know if was on purposse?

winter harbor
#

I’m getting close to getting everything in the lounge and I already have everything in zag’s bedroom

manic bobcat
#

Yeah basically

winter harbor
#

Hades must be so proud that his son owns a nude poster of Aphrodite

pale skiff
#

I only recenetly completed everything.. including the steam achievements.. took about 300 hours.. but I wasnt really hunting for everything.. just passively achieving them...

manic bobcat
rancid thorn
#

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

manic bobcat
#

The Director Badges are too good to be an accident.

pale skiff
#

I only got the game since it's Steam release... so never knew the game previous to it's main release...

winter harbor
#

The UI themes are so pretty

#

Except for the chaos theme

rancid thorn
#

wasnt it on ea some even on steam

#

or was that something else

manic bobcat
#

EA started on Epic, then spread to Steam.

pale skiff
#

maybe Early Access was on steam.. but I never even knew about the game.. until main release

stoic fulcrum
rancid thorn
#

early access

#

oh wait misunderstood ya knew that

manic bobcat
winter harbor
#

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

rancid thorn
manic bobcat
#

Doesn't mean causation, but it's p fair to say that imo.

stoic fulcrum
#

Ok.

rancid thorn
#

varatha keeps reminding me of blood of zeus

stoic fulcrum
#

Its reassuring

winter harbor
#

Cosmetics are pretty

rancid thorn
#

total is ||

325,000 Darkness
100 Chthonic Key
50 Nectar
10 Diamond
10 Ambrosia
10 Titan Blood
required to unlock all titles.||

winter harbor
#

Plus with your mirror maxed out you don’t really need darkness

rancid thorn
#

broker only takes a bit ocassionally

pale skiff
#

well.. apart from ranking up.. you need Darkness... although it has no effect... but it's atleast soomething to focus on

stoic fulcrum
#

Im almost done with the furniture

#

Then is themes

#

And music

pale skiff
#

I would like to see maybe a Major List of Fates.. other things to focus on...

stoic fulcrum
#

But the badges are out of my reaxh

#

I was thinking in maybe a bonus from doing high heat runs

pale skiff
#

yeah

stoic fulcrum
#

Like extra darkness

#

Or something

pale skiff
#

I'm pretty sure the team is hard at work bringing us new content..

covert dock
pale skiff
#

I'm surprised that completing the fates list isnt an actual Steam achievement

manic bobcat
#

My assumption is that it takes too long

#

SGG doesn't want achievements to be gated behind too hard to reach walls.

stoic fulcrum
manic bobcat
#

Keep in mind that resource rate in EA is a bit less than what it is now.

#

You can "farm" things decently faster now.

pale skiff
#

ohh.. bugged?

stoic fulcrum
pale skiff
#

it was my last fate I completed...

stoic fulcrum
manic bobcat
#

Well if you started in 1.0, you can get the same amount of resources faster.

pale skiff
#

twice in a row?

stoic fulcrum
#

Yeah

#

Continuos runs

pale skiff
#

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

stoic fulcrum
manic bobcat
#

Yeah, best approach tbh.

pale skiff
#

do everything else first.. then go for badges...

stoic fulcrum
pale skiff
#

What kinda builds you like to run?

stoic fulcrum
#

Fist

#

Im not picky

#

Magnetic one

pale skiff
#

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..

stoic fulcrum
#

Yeah

#

Posiedon is op

#

Pretty much rupture bounce splash

#

Im doing heat runs one at a time. Im at 21

pale skiff
#

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

stoic fulcrum
#

I stopped for farming

#

Wanna get heat 32

pale skiff
#

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

stoic fulcrum
#

And done ahahaha

pale skiff
#

lol

#

yeah.. same here

stoic fulcrum
#

Im happy with 1 32heat

#

And i chose fist

#

There is probably an easier one

pale skiff
#

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

stoic fulcrum
#

Yeah

#

Love artemis

#

I though it was lame

pale skiff
#

The RPG in me is thinking.. gonna need big Area of Effect damage to get through the higher heat

stoic fulcrum
#

But the crits are sweet

#

Higher runs i think are hammer dependant

#

The 900% to armor

#

Is clutch

pale skiff
#

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..

stoic fulcrum
#

Yeah

#

I know is harder

#

Probably hera bow is easier

#

Or the zeus shield

pale skiff
#

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..

stoic fulcrum
#

Yeah

#

The secrer balls are nice

pale skiff
#

shhh

stoic fulcrum
#

Maybe there is a better fist than magnetic

pale skiff
#

not allowed to mention the name of the hidden's.. unless you use || spoiler tags ||

stoic fulcrum
#

Sorry hahaha

pale skiff
#

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

stoic fulcrum
#

I have everthing maxed in the mirror

pale skiff
#

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...

rancid thorn
#

it allows you to focus more on spamming cast ocassionaly and dodging and fighting rather than midnding as much where ya left it

stoic fulcrum
#

Im not good in the boon predict area

#

I just follow the flow

pale skiff
#

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..

obtuse plover
#

Are the french traductors on Discord ?

manic bobcat
pale skiff
#

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

waxen juniper
#

Yes, the seed is the same if you give up

pale skiff
#

yeah.. especiall if you get Chaos in the first room.. knowing this.. you can replan your run from the start

#

up the heat too..

echo swan
#

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?

pale skiff
#

not figured that one out yet.. but I think speedrunners know... I think lower heat levels will always give it on 2nd room..

hushed schooner
#

lets try and get crystal clarity again

#

maybe even fully loaded

pale skiff
#

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

brisk trail
#

6 stygian?

#

woah

misty harbor
#

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

pale skiff
#

yeah.. 3 from the chaos.. and art's legendary

#

strange actually.. on styx.. I actually had 4 gods

#

in the tunnels

brisk trail
#

3 on chaos?? wew

pale skiff
#

yeah

brisk trail
#

is that one or multiple?

pale skiff
#

3 chaos rooms I hit

#

I re-rolled

brisk trail
#

three chaos rooms, all having cast, wew

pale skiff
#

I only used my rerolls in choas rooms to be sure to hit the casts

loud lintel
#

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

brisk trail
#

sounds fun

loud lintel
#

Spoiler-free answer if possible

pale skiff
#

it was loads of fun

misty harbor
brisk trail
#

no not really @loud lintel but better to not spend on zag aspects, as it doesn't count towards something

pale skiff
#

lol.. casts last longer and inflicting chill.. basically it was infinately beams

abstract ginkgo
#

so don't worry about buying the wrong thing or anything like that

brisk trail
#

no need to use diamonds to buy ambrosia, just use diamonds at the contractor

loud lintel
#

what are the good deals in the lounge that i should be on the lookout for?

pale skiff
#

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..

loud lintel
#

oh i meant the resource deals that the shade at the lounge offers

pale skiff
#

Anything that says 'work orders'

loud lintel
#

not the contractor

pale skiff
#

oh

#

Titan Blood

loud lintel
#

any resource for titan blood?

pale skiff
#

yup

#

|| you'll need lots of those to upgrade your Weapon Aspects ||

loud lintel
#

thanks a bunch!

pale skiff
#

no worries

cosmic plank
#

12 runs to beat the big boss for the first time

pale skiff
#

nice :D.. gg

#

think I was about 30 runs in before I got him for the first

brisk trail
#

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

lyric wharf
#

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.

brisk trail
#

i found a site that said 306

loud lintel
#

if so, I'll worry about that when i get there 😂

brisk trail
#

yeah, the final boss is not the end of the game

dapper oracle
#

hi everyone, I have one question to be interpreted however you choose, what is your favorite non-hidden aspect?

brisk trail
#

the story and the progression keeps going

mint forum
brisk trail
#

final boss first time is like 15% of the story

dapper oracle
#

I am currently in love with talos and zag fists

pale skiff
#

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..

dapper oracle
#

uh let me know if I should spoiler that, I don't know if the existence of aspects is a spoiler

misty harbor
brisk trail
#

only the ||legendary aspects||

mint forum
dapper oracle
#

@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

misty harbor
mint forum
#

it activates if it hits the floor when ur in the blast radius

pale skiff
#

@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..

mint forum
#

it might be that u aren't in the blast radius

#

but I haven't seen it so idk

misty harbor
#

but it doesn't seem to say so in the description..

mint forum
#

it does

#

"For 4 seconds after absorbing your Special's blast, deal more damage."

#

ah

#

there's ur problem

#

lmao

misty harbor
#

huh?

#

oh, I see now... it's more understandable in English though

mint forum
#

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

misty harbor
#

yeah, I know but it's kinda hard to explain... i feel like the original description itself might be a little confusing

mint forum
#

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"

dapper oracle
#

@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

misty harbor
#

this and also maybe something like "after **you **absorb"

pale skiff
#

@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...

gaunt sorrel
#

This is awesome

dapper oracle
#

@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

pale skiff
#

@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?.. ||

dapper oracle
#

||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

pale skiff
#

sure

versed verge
#

are than and zag brothers?

obtuse plover
#

Wait wait wait

versed verge
#

like zag calls nyx ||his mom|| and than's mom is nyx soooo like

manic bobcat
#

well zag is ||adopted||

versed verge
#

so ||adopted incest||?

dapper oracle
#

They're very close

#

||You can even date Than later in the game!||

#

I like than

#

He's my favorite overworked bisexual bishonen

versed verge
#

but he's his adopted brother

dapper oracle
#

My dear Doctor Russia

#

This is Greek mythology :)

#

There is a lot of incest in Greek mythology

granite ether
#

||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||

misty harbor
#

not even adopted technically

#

they ||just were raised by the same woman||

versed verge
#

yeah and they reworked the story to ||remove a lot of incest like hera isnt related to zeus||

dapper oracle
#

@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

brisk trail
#

Can I just say ||how much I hate those bomb wheely things||

dapper oracle
#

@brisk trail Stygius, no aoe or range boons, and your cast is Aphrodite

misty harbor
#

do u think they actually recorder their cats' meowing for them

brisk trail
#

Oh no, I did that

#

But my switch has the drift thing

versed verge
#

||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||

granite ether
brisk trail
#

And Zag runs straight into a group of them cause I dashed upward instead of downward-

dapper oracle
#

@granite ether The wiki says they did not in fact grow up together

manic bobcat
#

where does it say that?

#

in game dialogue suggests they were close

dapper oracle
#

||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.

manic bobcat
#

I think we are splitting hair on the meaning of growing up together

warped forge
#

And thanks for the emotes residentzag

dapper oracle
#

I think Than knew ||that Persephone was Zagreus' mother|| before Zag knew

#

though I guess ||he could have been sworn into silence by Hades||

#

Do you guys use Screen Shake. In other games it usually bothers me but I didn't feel the need to turn it off

misty harbor
#

i do

dapper oracle
#

It's never caused problems for my controls like the screen shake for path of exile did, so I've never turned it off

rotund nacelle
#

Screen shake in Celeste is an actually a toggle for "hard mode"

hushed schooner
#

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

dapper oracle
#

nice!

hushed schooner
#

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

lyric wharf
#

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.

hushed schooner
#

yeah

#

it was so fun

#

that boon

lyric wharf
#

Its too good, saves 10% off enemies hp.

hushed schooner
#

yeah

#

|| did you use it on hades ||

lyric wharf
#

I doubt it'll work on ||Hades|| tho but we'll see.

hushed schooner
#

oh i wont spoil it

#

if you havent

lyric wharf
#

Sure thank you.

hushed schooner
#

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

misty harbor
#

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

waxen juniper
hushed schooner
#

probably tried it yet by now

waxen juniper
#

Now something like greater haste is permanent, so you will always have that bonus damage

misty harbor
#

oh no, i shouldn't have picked then... i only got the boost after my dash

thick dove
#

I started playing a few days ago and Gota say loving it. 😎

waxen juniper
#

Hyper Sprint is a very good combo for rush delivery

#

Trust me @misty harbor , that isn't a bad choice.

hushed schooner
#

i like hyper sprint

lyric wharf

hushed schooner
#

oh

lyric wharf
#

Sadly there were a fishing spot.

hushed schooner
#

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

waxen juniper
misty harbor
waxen juniper
#

Well, if you hyper sprint into a dash strike, that is 100% bonus damage. That's pretty damn good!

lyric wharf
#

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.

lyric wharf
waxen juniper
#

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

lyric wharf
#

Well you see in games, those kind of OP effects usually dont apply to bosses.

waxen juniper
#

It's not op, you still have quite a bit of work to do yourself

lyric wharf
#

Yes not that OP but pretty good.

#

For first phase I dont know actually I called Aphrodite with max gauge to finish him.

waxen juniper
#

Winter's harvest only happens on the last phase

#

But it definitely happens

lyric wharf
#

That's awesome.

There is an invisible wall if you go really far into the lava

Supergiant pls fix

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...

can i focus on the fight, lady please

||than better than meg||

||why not have both, honestly||

leaden summit
misty harbor
#

their tension is so different, I'm loving it

gray jacinth
#

||cuz polygamy just feels strange but there Greek gods so I mean I suppose it's fine||

misty harbor
#

|| exactly 😎 ||

#

one thing stays the same - Zag is such a softie who doesn't understand hints and doesn't play along lol

gray jacinth
#

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)

versed verge
#

on a scale from hades to kratos how well do you and your greek dad get along?

manic bobcat

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?

winter harbor
#

It’s really good with eris

#

For the rocket bombs, you want to be within melee range so the buff can proc

upper heron
#

wait, rocket bomb and cluster bomb for eris?

#

what about delta chamber?

misty harbor
#

wow didn't know Zag can even reply to the player's questions https://youtu.be/D0klH5QIKuE?t=437 shadesmile (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)

Got to boss with 1. Lost lol

I had a bad build and I just wasn't paying attention to anything

Gota say the spear is so good.

i love the spear

did a great achilles run earlier

wraith oyster

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

chiron bow

is easy to use

I had a good run with it when the q special volly had doom on it.

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.

ooh

lightningin strike fists + support fire

#

sounds fun

Pew pew

Aside from bow

hushed schooner

yeah

no the bows good

#

even my least favourite the fists

feelgood to use

#

not all the time

tender oxide

Why

hushed schooner
#

like when im being beat up

#

at close range

#

but

#

theyre fun

tender oxide
#

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

hushed schooner
#

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

hushed schooner
#

yes

#

i am a spear enjoyer

#

here to defend the spear from its many critics

timber sparrow
#

achilles spear specifically

tender oxide
#

I like spear too

#

Achilles is my favorite aspect for it

hushed schooner
#

i like all 3 spears ive played so far alot

#

havent played ||guan yu||

tender oxide
#

I just zoom all over the place

thick dove
#

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

hushed schooner
#

my favourite is probably hades but i like zagreus and achilles alot

tender oxide
#

Shield was my first weapon to clear

thick dove
#

Shield is nice for stunlocking enemies into walls

hushed schooner
#

i like about achilles

#

same with shield

#

is that the achilles upgrades are all very powerful for it

#

+25 percent bonus damagt

tender oxide
#

Zeus is by far the best shield aspect

timber sparrow
#

I wanted my first clear to be bow but made it with shield

tender oxide
#

Power shot

manic bobcat

👀

timber sparrow
#

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

got it with chaos once

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

teal ocean
#

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

granite ether

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

teal ocean
#

Yes @granite ether , I have all of the normal ones unlocked now, and I spent more in the spear just to be sure

vapid narwhal
opaque nexus
#

what is happening man

#

like is this a fever dream

vapid narwhal
#

nah it's just people want to play good games

waxen juniper
#

I guess people don't know anything about cold embrace

vapid narwhal
#

they are just people

opaque nexus
#

i know but like

#

just kind of surprising

#

I did not expect him to be doing this haha

granite ether
vapid narwhal
#

not really surprising, Hades is all over the media for being a GotY winner/contender and was just on AGDQ

#

it's popular

opaque nexus
#

it's actually one of the most viewed gdq runs so far

#

I believe only 3 games have more views

vapid narwhal
#

yeah Vorime and co did fantastic jobs

#

it was on a good time slot too

opaque nexus
#

Metal Gear Solid IV, Skyrim, and Diablo III

vapid narwhal
#

US nights

opaque nexus
#

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

vapid narwhal
#

also the pre run announcer did the intro in the Hades style

opaque nexus
#

doctor no was great

#

he hung out on the speedrun discord

#

even did runs himself

#

his charon impression was spot on too

vapid narwhal
#

yeah that shield run was pretty oof in terms of RNG

opaque nexus
#

it got a bit better with an ixion and charged shot (the best hammer for beowulf)

#

but those first 2 biomes

#

absolutely awful

vapid narwhal
#

yeah charged shot like, saved the run for him

opaque nexus
#

I would have panicked hard in that situation

vapid narwhal
#

having to burn 3 rerolls in the very first room is like big oofs

opaque nexus
#

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

vapid narwhal
#

lol that happens a lot

opaque nexus
#

yeah but we haven't had a name for it till now

#

besdies "getting [hecked] by RNG"

vapid narwhal
#

lmao I didnt even notice he had a than in Asphodel

#

unluckiest run ever

#

I would ditch even on a casual run

opaque nexus
#

he had than all 3 runs

#

I wonder if it would have been faster for vorime to reset

#

like live

teal ocean
#

@granite ether No I mean for every weapon, I've finished through with every weapon at least once except the spear and fists now

opaque nexus
#

I suppose that would kind of ruin the fun

vapid narwhal
#

he was like 10 min off usual pace

#

if he resets after Tartarus it's probably faster

opaque nexus
#

probably woulda been faster to reset yeah

#

I would have reset

#

but I guess that wouldn't be as entertaining

vapid narwhal
#

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

granite ether
opaque nexus
#

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

teal ocean
#

Hmm yeah

#

I guess just more talking to achilles

vapid narwhal
#

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

opaque nexus
#

I mean I wish we could see moist [hidden shield] live on twitch dot television slash games done quick

waxen juniper
#

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

manic bobcat
# ornate mortar damn how did people escape in 16 runs

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!

ornate mortar
#

Thanks

#

I usually died due to not trying hard enough I guess

#

Elysium also sucks 😭

manic bobcat
#

Yee, it does.

ornate mortar
#

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

I'm not one of those guys. I die a lot

ornate mortar
#

I always run ruthless reflex

#

the dodge chance is so worth it

wraith oyster
#

Pqssssss

#

Passsss

#

:p

#

Gimme the extra dash so I can just never stop dashing

#

And hope I don't get hit

manic bobcat
ornate mortar
#

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

low trail
#

Aphrodite is great

ornate mortar
#

Nope

inland pivot
#

Aphrodite can be interesting if you use Privileged Status.

ornate mortar
#

I think all her boons suck except the weakness ones

low trail
#

I just roll with everything i get honeetly

#

I love getting her boons with demeter

manic bobcat
ornate mortar
#

Well even some of the weakness ones are bad

inland pivot
#

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%+

ornate mortar
#

the only good ones are special and attack

#

Cast is meh and dash is meh

manic bobcat
#

fair enough

low trail
#

I think the least god boons i take are poseidons
But ig its also bc i dont see him very often

inland pivot
#

That's true. I think the call is situational, but the situations it is good, makes it incredible

ornate mortar
#

I really like posiedon especially with razor shoals and stuff

inland pivot
#

I also like Empty Inside, again, for Privileged Status

low trail
#

I love his rupture

inland pivot
#

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.

low trail
#

Tbh i never really bother reading each boons name
I just recognize them from their desc

inland pivot
#

It's easier when you play, yeah

#

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

hasty lichen
#

Oh true the shield guys are obnoxious

#

Everything else though

sudden patrol
#

I can never get any good items on my runs so idk how to progress

crude verge
#

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

brisk trail
#

seems like dialouge queue maybe?

manic bobcat

sudden patrol
#

Ok thanks

#

I’m thinking of using ares’ keepsake as I find he consistently gives me useful boons

waxen juniper
#

Killed lernie with jolted and I could not be happiet about it

sudden patrol
#

Or what god keepsake should I use

#

Part of the fun is figuring out how you like to play

crude verge
#

I'm curious to see if they will make a dlc with the Titans

north pier
#

x for doubt

crude verge
#

Or Giants

#

Yeah but one can think about it and be amused

supple lodge
#

After looking at cerberus for long enough, dogs with 1 head start looking a bit weird

craggy barn
#

three heads better than one

waxen juniper
#

You know what, I know longer care what anyone says, there really aren't any 'bad' duo boons

inland pivot
#

Parting Shot is very gimmicky, but that's the worst of them iirc

supple lodge
#

no bad boons, just things that dont work with your current build shadesmile

#

parting shot is the one that boosts your cast damage from behind right

waxen juniper
#

Yes it id

vapid narwhal
#

maybe except Cold Embrace

waxen juniper
vapid narwhal
#

show me!

supple lodge
#

i had parting shot during my crush shot hera bow run lol, im sure it came in handy for that

waxen juniper
#

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

supple lodge
#

hera bow with crush shot is such a meme

waxen juniper
#

The damage was nuts!

supple lodge
#

i should try that one again on higher heat

ornate bear
#

I've yet to try out Hera bow yet - I need to get some more titan blood first

waxen juniper
#

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

compact saffron
#

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?

floral flame
#

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

compact saffron
#

lol

brazen lagoon
#

Try doing a hit and run

floral flame
#

Tbh that's what I do all the time

compact saffron
#

yea thats what i was planning for but i was extremly unprepared

brazen lagoon
#

Run away whenever he attacks and dash back and hit him as much as you can

compact saffron
#

i had like 7 health and no death respawns

floral flame
#

Block and dash are your major friends in there

brazen lagoon
#

Well no one beats hades on their first try

compact saffron
#

i got him real low tho i thought i was gonna do it 😦

brazen lagoon
#

You'll do it eventually

compact saffron
#

does he have like a second phase or sum

#

ive heard its a long fight

brazen lagoon
#

Figure that one out yourself

#

It'll be fun

compact saffron
#

o

floral flame
#

😬

compact saffron
#

uh oh

#

also whats the ambrosia for

brazen lagoon
#

Things

#

You should figure this stuff out yourself

#

Won't be fun if we just told you

compact saffron
#

huh

#

aright

#

How do you get the ||secret charon fight||?

hasty lichen
#

Have you ever stolen

#

I’m so sorry

brazen lagoon
#

||Mid shop will sometimes have pouch. Take pouch||

hasty lichen
#

So true

#

Its ok i dont know how to spoiler tag either

brazen lagoon
#

Charon is quite difficult tho so only fight him if you have good boons

#

Yeah lol I have no clue how to do it

humble maple
#

add || before and after what you want to spoiler tag

#

||like this||

brazen lagoon
#

||wow||

hasty lichen
#

|| So true ||

brazen lagoon
#

Holy wow it worked

wooden basin
#

Does the pact of punishment make the fury’s harder?

carmine ravine
#

Depends

#

If using TD probably not

wooden basin
#

Will it like give them new moves and or will it just make them do more damage and spawn enemies?

dull niche
#

are you talking about ||extreme measures||?

cinder lichen
#

Say, who were the ||Furies' parents|| again?

brazen lagoon
#

||some sources say they came from uranus' (cronos' father) blood and others say they came from nyx||

cinder lichen

Huh, weird.
