wdym last nectar
not me
How many hearts do I need for Than till I need to give him ambrosia
I thought you got those by talking
I think he wants the finer stuff now, ambrosia
yeah
anything after a characters locked heart is Ambrosia
fam WHAT ||hades|| just let me go without a fight
I had such a good build too I was almost looking forward to it
I’m shook
ymmv, but I had easily enough ambrosia when i finally unlocked all the hearts
I just beat the game for the first time yesterday, I’m so happy
Bastion has good music.
I've been trying to get through third floor today haha
Took almost 40 tries and 20 hours 💀
the first clear is like 15% of the story @civic pivot
can't beat them tho
keep going
That’s exciting as hell
breh I'm over 40 tries 💀
Elysium made me mad lol
i think I'm close to the end of new conversation, but I'm at 60+ clears @civic pivot
but there are still aspects I need to max and need to clear higher heat with new rewards
still haven't finished decorating hades
I only started messing with god mode after I beat the game the first time, just at the last moment to get percent up. I might do some runs just to farm resources and allow myself to die early
any tips for third floor boss?
don't allow yourself to die @civic pivot
the cool thing about god mode is it kind of adjusts to your skill
only racheting up when you die
Hide behind the pillars of the coliseum to avoid theseus. Get rid of the Minotaur as fast as possible
so don't boost it unatturally
That’s dope, I didn’t know that
I feel kinda bad using god mode lol. Gonna turn it off for a while.
:D :D :D
don't feel bad, but don't boost it unnaturally
I wanna clutch a dub without god mode. I scraped by without it on 17 HP 💀
Guess who got all the way to the end, ||defeated Hades once because evidently once isn't enough||, then proceeded to got his ass kicked 🙂
I've yet to actually use God Mode, I just sorta... like being challenged.
you shouldnt feel bad about it :) https://twitter.com/SupergiantGames/status/1237493675216666624
@terminallynerdy @UnderlandDgtl God Mode is definitely there for anyone for whom the stock difficulty doesn't provide an enjoyable experience for whatever reason. Please don't hesitate to try it if you're thinking about it.
Same.
@burnt dove relatable
its funny how the run right after i clear, i do super well and can clear again even on ||higher heat||
I didn't care for dying senselessly over and over and over with very little progression, so I use god mode. Idk how you guys don't.
and with better time too lol
@narrow hemlock i wish I could reset my god mode down again
Tatz do you have a bunch of tweets in stock ready to go?
I got a little better each time
a lower god mode is desired but some is still nice
Low god mode is like that one boon from Athena I think?
ive gone through responses so much on twt and steam over the past year i have some bookmarked for relevant moments lmao
I think it should go down ike 6% each time you win
Basically the same thing, 20% damage reduction
I simply searched for stuff that was available and how to best use them. Purposefully did some bad runs just to upgrade the mirror for example.
nah 4%
2% up 4% down?
It helped me eventually clear the final boss completely blind.
@brisk trail yea
Zagreus’s voice is something I could listen to for hours. I want him to read me a story. 
Darren did a little too good of a job voicing him
on the other hand, i hate megaera's voiceover so much
I love meg's voice
||Dark Foresight|| or ||Olympian Favor||?
I get bothered
Darren also did Skelly, which is incredible voice dynamics.
i gotta like turn up my volume for her dialogue
I love meg’s voice.
Hot take. I love Meg's voice.
its like unbalanced for me man idk
fox have you see her va's twt
Meg’s voice is unique. Idk how to explain it, it just fits her
👀
i agree it fits her but it annoys me when i gotta adjust volume
There’s not a single VA I dislike in Hades
Meg's VA is Avalon Penrose
is there anywhere that I can officially buy stickers of the bond icons?
That's a badass name lol
The only voice that kind of surprised me at first was Thanatos’s. But I got used to it quickly and grew to love it
||I prefer Olympian Favor - A good boon is more important than a few dud rooms.||
It’s really incredible. I never would’ve thought that,,,
ma'am please let me link u
Fox, did you finally finish all prophecies?
Avalon Penrose looks like a cutie
I love his new york "Ayy I'm walkin here!" voice.
Ay boyo!
From voices/personalities, I love Hades and Dio best
Just sell cold embrace once you get it and get crystal clarity instead
Achilles and Nyx also really cool
Dionysus
OHHH
Yeah, Dio gives you Warudo boon
I’m stupid
Which is an auto win
Jojo brainrot.
Pog
Lets say we sell every boon of a certain god and you already met 4 different gods in a run, will you find another or the same one that you sold the boons of ?
unsure, but think you get a different god
Yes, Dionysus’s voice is perfect. Also I seek out the hangover boon specifically on my runs
Apparently selling boons doesn't kick gods out of your god pool
I mean, of all the people to make that mistake, it would be the one with the Jolene avatar. 👁️👄👁️
if you have none of their boons, they don't necessarily come back
Guilty as charged.
That's highly unlikely but maybe in the beginning of a run you happen to have 4 gods boon and only 1 from a god.
Like, Haelian got a trial involving athena when he sold his only athena boon before
I want to go to ||Erebus|| but turning up Heat is hard lol
That’s the only place not in my codex
Take it slow.
i eventually need to make EM4 my normal
At the moment I use TD1 and TD2 to farm Titan bloods.
What are those acronyms 💀
Once I have every non hidden aspects unlocked, I'll upgrade my favorite and start to really ramp up the difficulty in heat like EM, increased damage from enemies etc..
||Set timer to finish areas.||
@civic pivot EM is ||Extreme Measures which makes bosses harder.||
I've cleared TD2 with spear and sword, I cleared TD1 with bow but I dont think I'm ready for TD2 with it.
I'm still learning how to play bow better.
26:14:55 with bow and TD1, that means I'd have 2 mins left with TD2.
I'll try it then.
Could I die early in a run to trigger more conversations with Achilles? I've been trying to get this spear skin for like a week lol
What's the difference between a boon's level and rarity?
yeah you can
what do you mean? rarities are limited and increase the base values scaled by level
Thanks
also levels have diminishing returns
I wonder what's the highest level someone's got a boon to?
With ||pom blossom|| and a lot of poms I managed to get one boon to level 12 or so before which was pretty funny
four poms in a row in elysium
and ||mom's|| keepsake
Rarity has higher base stats and will have better stats on lvl up so its better to go for rarity.
That's crazy, I suppose it has no cap since this is a roguelike game.
Hunter's Mark might have a limit tho, I got it to 92% on my last run and I assume it'd stop at 100%.
I picked the butterfly only to get hit every single encounter and forgot to switch it out for the next area >_>
I thought worst case scenario I'll adjust and play more carefully but I didn't want to waste a keepsake for the entire round ._.
Now two areas
You might find answers there #h1-builds-and-combat
I just realized that I have enough titan bloods to unlock every 3rd aspects now.
After that I have enough to unlock the hidden aspects of 3 weapons, so I need 9 more Titan blood, but I can only unlock the spear hidden aspect for now so I have time to get the remaining ones until then.
Just won a run but I forgot a fish in the last chamber 😔

What’s the boon where you get more bloodstones for your cast?
build
There's the Artemis Legendary Fully Loaded
and there's Chaos boons that give you casts
So if I die does ||Caustic/chaos|| defiance get used before ||Stubborn|| defiance or other way around? Don't want to waste my choice on a potentially mediocre boon
Pretty sure SD gets used first in almost every circumstance
Well that's underwhelming, but not unexpected
Isn't that better than the other way around?
Yea
Got it backwards, it's late lol
Fair enough
hey, i tried getting the steam achivement for having one rank in all the mirror talents and its not registering. Does anyone know how to get it to work
Do you have access to both sides of the mirror?
We have to unlock it ? I randomly found out about it when I started to play the game.
Can confirm SD gets used first.
Sick I wasn't 100% and now I am
exit the room
i'll try that
yea i just went through and put a rank in each one
how do you get back the cast
yeah
The same way as without Hera aspect.
so you just wait? isn't it bad against bosses
Oh just wait for enemies hit by the cast to drop them or slay the enemy for them to drop it early
I like hidden shield because you don't need to wait
Yeah or just get the quick reload boon if possible
A bit, though base attack is also good if you have any decent attack boons
So you are not locked into empty charge sometimes like 4th shield
Tbh I pretty much never use my cast lol
You get back your stones even if enemies doesn't die.
they drop much faster than normal tho
yeah makes sense
so its pretty balanced between the two I'd say
Having blood stones on enemies gives you bonuses from the mirror anyways.
Ok didn't know that
yeah, tldr casting weapons that is not 4th shield is a bit slower in boss fights though not by much
Ack is anyone willing to listen to me tell about how I like Theseus as a character but at the same time I want to hit him in the face with a brick
Its a win win situation anyways, when you have blood stones, use them for good damage and when on enemies you just have increased damage on them or slower speed based on what you chose in the mirror.
Part 2 of dash only run
I just beat Asphodel using only poseidon dash
No weapons
Witnessed
I've thought about trying that - it sounds fun
Your A button is probably gonna break or something
hm - if you used ||gilgamesh|| you can just hold down dash
it has a unique dash where you constantly dash when holding it down
I gotta love calling max gauge Aphrodite when Theseus call gods lol, charmed = gods attacking him.
really? that's cool
That or just charming Theseus with other means.
Because of the lack of response to my question is that a no to me talking about my opinion on Theseus
I am currently playing hades in a way that probably wasn't even thought of
But it's possible
If I got out of asphodel
It means I can beat hades by only dashing
do you have rapture/slams?
Beat hades but you can’t use the joystick/wasd keys
Dash runs are a thing.
Alright, i use the attack button to select a direction and move by dashing
you can also get the duo boon with zeus and jolted maybe
I didn’t think this through
Hunter's Mark is so good with bow.
Alright
Once I become actually good at the game
I will do a no WASD run
Writing that down on my to-do list
Just attempted EM4 for the first time. ||Celebrated early and got bamboozled. Had 10HP left when dad sent me back swiftly after his additional recovery||
Now ya know
When you know, you know.
Ack since there’s no character discussion channel does anyone want to discuss a specific character and why they love\hate them here-
Aphrodite needs to learn consent and boundaries. That woman is too damn clingy!
What's that ?
Artemis because she’s the best girl
I like everyone in the game.
Not using the WASD, left stick, or dpad to move
I'm pretty sure Zagreus like it.
is EM4 really that hard damn
Using only the cursor to choose which direction I wanna go and dashing to move
Oh.
He'srightyouknow
Augh I fell for Artemis at pretty much the first encounter I just didn’t know it
Artemis is one of the nicest gods yeah.
i dont hate anyone, characterization too good :9
Same here.
Also I love Dionysus because
A. He chill
B. He thigh thicc
Ehh, tbh it's not much harder EM4 alone. I got stupid bad luck with boons and use more heat elements.
Is this Artemis appreciation thread?
My fave character overall though
Where do I sign up?
Hades, Artemis, Skelly, or Dionysius
Artemis and Ares are my favorite gods
Emphasis on Skelly
There’s only one character I have any bit of hate for, and it’s Theseus
“Thanks, boyo”
When I got my first nectar I instantly gave it to my boy Skelly
i really disliked theseus initially but once i was able to consistently defeat him he didnt bother me anymore and i found him pretty entertaining. he has some of the funniest dialogue in the game
Willing to take a beating to the point of death in his chase of the bag
I gotta respect that
Uncle Poseidon is my favourite god - he's just such a friendly uncle
Favourite character in general though is Dusa
i genuinely feel like much of the hate theseus gets stems from the fact the elysium boss tends to be a hard progression wall for many people, which fuels the frustration they feel towards him
I maxed Dusa affection first.
My favorite character in general is Thanatos
My favorite is probably Dusa as well.
I love all of them way too much how can you guys choose so easily!
I love him because I hate him.
I love Cerberus design.
Like sure, it’s interesting that his confidence is from underlying insecurity, and that he managed to get Asterius as an ally despite literally killing him, but a u g h no matter how many times I defeat him I still get a n g e r y at him
Dude gets into your mind. He is good. Also he has some really hilartious moments.
It's like, I love Artemis, but I also love Dionysus, and I love Ares too! But then I also love Aphrodite and-
Like Asterius, other guy moment
Yeah I love Theseus because I originally entirely hated him
Oh yeah I forgot about Theseus but yeah if there's a character I wouldn't like that would be him.
his ||maniacal laughter|| makes me smile :D
I feel like Theseus-hate is because he's consistently dissing you for most of your game
I had an easier time beating ||Hades|| than beating Theseus
then it just feels really good stomping him
The shield dude
I really like Asterius as well, he's humble.
redacted is spoilers in this channel, please spoiler tag :)
Or the late game interaction of him and (omega spoiler) ||when Persephone returns||
While Theseus will never admit you're better than him.
Like part of me appreciates his presence but another part of me wants to punch him in the face and yell at him to shut up sometimes
I laughed
Lmao I love that too, it cracks me up every time I hear it
Hardest to fight for me in this game is the ||satyrs|| (is that what we have to spoiler tag)
Done!
he literally cant. for him it would be an admission of failure
isn't it amazing when the game lets you actually punch him in the face until he shuts up tho
Back to Tartarus with you blackguard
thank the gods he's a boss
Pretty much lol.
Asterius has best hair in the game
Reminds me of Dead Cells where ||you beat the baddie by punching him until he gives up||
Someone get Theseus a therapist or something to help with his underlying insecurity p l e a s e
My fave part of Asterius and Theseus is their ||extreme measures skins||
Where is that ?
especially EM3 Theseus yeah
It's a different game, but the concept of punching an annoying dude until he just decides to give up is there
I wish I kept getting new theseus voice texts
honestly once you're dead do you really need therapy at that point
Really? I found EM3 Theseus to be easier somehow
you have eternity to work out your own issues
Yeah probably
EM3 theseus is easier
Theseus wouldn’t want to work out his issues himself
true
He doesn’t want to admit to himself that he’s insecure
how far have you gotten in his storyline?
All things considered I wouldn't have much space to do therapy in the dephs of tartarus cause I am in no way not going to the deepest circle lmao
Imagine if you went so so so deep in your afterlife you somehow end up being bind to ||Chaos||
Petition to give Cerberus a part time job as a therapy/emotional support dog
I don’t care if he guards the underworld with no mercy, Cerberus is a good boi
So long as you pet the rightmost head you're good
In the actual mythological story didn't Thesius murder the minotaur and his family in a maze? Or am I remembering mythology wrong
The right head is caring
The middle head is calm
The left head is dilligent
Yessir
Oh I mean, I know about Dead Cells and I have the game on Switch but I was wondering where it happens.
Technically no, just the minotaur
Yeah Theseus killed the Minotaur
Idk how he managed to ally with Asterius in death tbh
they talk about it in game
The game explains it
Oh yeah I’m not that far in yet
dude
Well then I caught 5 fishes in a run.
The theseus-Asterius storyline is actually one of my faves
you're in for a real treat
P h i s h
Lol.
The story goes that Theseus got a cord from his lover Ariadne and figured out that if he dropped the cord, he could go into the labrynth, kill the son of minos that became a bull, get out, and go back to the glory of a warmonger and love
What do you mean by that tho.
Literally nothing I just misspelled fish because I thought it was funny
We have all heard the story of Theseus fighting that monstrous half-bull, half-man beast known as the Minotaur, but the original story starts years earlier. It involves tensions between two kingdoms, a deadly poetry slam, and dumb bandits. The creature of the week is a small chicken that will give you lots of gold...if you can keep it f...
If you wanna find out more about the whole theseus thing check this out
It explains it pretty well
Nice username
In dual gods room, does it matter which god I choose first? or the rewards would be the same? I always choose the god I want first
Some gods are way harder to dodge than others
No the boons aren’t affected I think, but it does affect which god fights you
yep rewardsa re the same
So I’d go off of that
For example Poseidon is probably one of the worst so I always choose him
You'd normally wanna pick poseidon and aphrodite since their attacks will destroy you
THing with poseidon is
It was funny yeah.
You can also pick the olympians based on how much you like them
That's what I do anyways
aphrodite omg
The correct way
It doesn’t affect any story or anything based on which one you chose though
But this ends up with me always choosing Artemis
Bruh I legit said out loud “just like the ocean” and it took me a a full five seconds for my brain to work
Also Athena tho, damn shield she gives the enemies
Whenever artemis appears I always pick her because she is my favourite
Yes but Poseidon dash >>>>> Athenea dash
That’s literally the easiest one lmao
I always take Posiden first since I personally find him harder to dodgr
And if athenas there I will always pick the other one because hers is so easy
Not in the 3rd area with the soul archers
I just dodge the others, the immortality thing she gives can't be circumvented
Trial of the gods, if you pick a tier 1 boon from the first god, the 2nd god will offer a replacement for it, which means higher rarity for the boon.
Dionysus is also pretty easy
All you have to do is kill everything that doesn’t have a shield first and then wait for it to wear off
Yeah, you have to wait.. And time is precious. lol
Athena is the easiest but if you play with ||TD|| it can waste a bit of time.
Maybe it depends how far in the game tbh
ok thx guys 😛
This is a sudden thought but I wish that instead of giving all the fish you catch to the chef you could put one of each species in an aquarium for you know, sentimental value
Are you talking about Monster Hunter or Animal Crossing?
No because I don’t have any desire to play either of those
Your previous comment is a mild spoiler to very new players. Possibly hasn't progressed far enough to know about what you said
Ack should I spoiler it then
Ehh, it's not a huge part of the story. I think it's fine as is
Ravenous Will, While you have no Cast Ammo, take 10% less damage and deal more. Does it matter if cast ammo is on enemies? or as long as it's not on me then I'd deal more dmg and take less dmg? For example, if I just leave all my cast ammo on the ground and don't collect it then I deal more dmg and take less dmg?
Ye
Doesn't matter if its on the ground or in an enemy if you don't have a cast it'll work
kk thx!
Yeah, it specifies while you have no cast ammo, as in the number on the UI. Anything else is fine
ye i just tested and it works
guys is it best to level up boons to LV 4 or LV 5?
cuz it scales less as lv goes up
Hangover plus eris is 🔥
Level it up to your liking
I think LV 4 or LV 5 is good on my main boons
maybe
||uh guys another question right now im in charon's room and I can fight him||
there are 2 doors demeter and money room
Spoiler tag please!!
||no you get transported to a random room||
thx
any tips for getting that greater call against the same god achivement? Should I just only pick 2 gods for boons?
i think
the more difficult part is honestly
getting the greater call in time ofr it
i think going for that hermes boon that autos god gauge
||Demeter|| and Dionysus duo boon is really nice and it looks even better with Hera bow, the animation of it fits perfectly for an arrow shot.
would be helpful
you get call charge when you take damage right? can i just tank until it goes up
no
you'll probbaly die
by then
unless oyu have enough health and the right boons to maximise your gauge
true id waste several DD on it tho im just achivement hunting
It comes with time, I guess it would help to pick a call early-ish in the run and if you're struggling to build it in time during the trial of gods: tank some damage when there's one enemy remaining if you're comfortable in your ability to dodge/avoid damage.
Hey guys!
Demeter looks really cool does she have good boons tho?
yes
No boons are bad, just mediocre and/or not fit your build
you could say ||Demeter|| has some pretty cool boons 
I'm not sorry 😛
How
Artemis' call 
Seconded 👌
i will always slander coronacht
Exclusive Access: Any Boons you find have superior effects.
Minimum Boon Rarity: Epic
If I have Exclusive Access, does 150, 300, 450, 500 boons have any difference?
since they'd all be epic, but would 500 boon still be better than 150?
do you mean in Styx?
yea
they'll all be Epic so no
ok thx
the 500 boon btw is just because it's a Hermes boon, even eithout Exclusive Access, it's wouldn;t necessarily be better than the other items in the shop
it would highly depend on your build at that point
oh ok I was tryna ask if there's a situation where there are two boons of my main build (like poseidon) one is 450 and one is 150 something like that
ah 450 gives higher chance for higher rarity boons then
over the 150 version
but since you got EA, they're both the same essentially
oh ok thx 😛
I wanna simp for eurydice but she's taken so I'm having to simp for Artemis instead it's a hard life when your outclassed by a singer who can make gods cry
Artemis is also taken
By ?
bit of a spoiler ||The nymph she hangs out with a lot, Callisto||
||Demeter|| and Dio duo boon is amazing paired with Hera bow stacked with 3 blood stones, it looks so good, that's Dio cast but it also has ice effect.
Is that an actual game lore or just mythological lore ?
actual game lore
myth
Yes
actually artemis isnt in a relationship at all
it's in her convos
That we know of, anyways
she thinks that love will make her weak so she abstains from love completely
however what happens to callisto is. rather unfortunate, to put it mildly
that's definitely putting it mildly
most certainly lmao
There's some stuff in myth suggesting that she was close with her hunting partners, including Calypso and Orion
she did fall in love once and then the guy got turned into a bear
Well regarding Artemis being taken or not, when you trigger the Artemis and Aphrodite duo scene ||Artemis is about to tell something to Zagreus and then feels bothered because Aphrodite is coming.||
the orion thing isnt supported by anything, its largely a common misconception
i mean its a myth so
I assume that ||Artemis has a crush on Zagreus.||
i dont really think so
i think she just appreciates having a friend
I mean, Artemis is never feeling bothered/shy when she talks to Zagreus.
again, i think thats because she trusts zag and not that she loves him
I thought so as well until I saw that scene so I dont know.
well i think she does just not romantically
many kinds of love in the game, as Aphrodite tells us ❤️
But anyways that she love Zagreus or not doesn't change anything to me, I was just taking a guess.
well i think shes uncomfortable around aphro because she did fall in love before and it didnt go very well
I see.
And really, love =/= romance
true
Like there's the love between friends, between family, etc. etc.
And just because it's not the romantic kind of love doesn't mean it's any less valid
I'm using Aspect of Chiron, does Triple Shot Chain Shot lock on multiple enemies? or does it only lock one target still?
No, it doesn't
In fact, those two hammer upgrades really make it much more of a pain to lock on properly
so aspect of Chiron can only lock on one target no matter what?
Yes
And those two hammer upgrades make it pretty likely that the enemy you want to lock on to will not be the one you end up firing at
ahhhh i see
I'd go with flurry shot out of those, since it interferes the least with lock-on
kk thx
whats the hypnos favor requirement?
so after watching the Hades runs on GDQ, I gotta say im blown away at how much damage output they were generating. I thought I was coming up with some good builds but damn...
gotta go fast
Can you Crit even if you don't have any crit boons? or do you need artemis crit boon to crit
You need a boon/aspect to have any crit chance at all
There’s no natural Crit chance
thx
Hello! New here, so apologies if this has been brought up (I did search...). Any discussion of making god mode decrease as you get better? It'd be cool if like say every time you get to the end successfully it incremented back down 2%. Would probably find the right assistance level. Right now I'm at 80%, but am racking up streaks. Seems like I shouldn't get through every time.
are there hellmode speedruns? Seems like i cant find any
if i run a higher heat before i clear the lower one, can i go back and still get the rewards for the lower one?
you get the rewards for the lower one actually
well what if i dont clear
you cant skip rewards, so you're just higher heat but still unlocking the lower heat rewards
like im tryna figure out if i can just randomly increase heat and grind blood
nope
oh i see ty
you have to clear
thx
its been brought up and iirc it was suggested during early access too but the devs seem to prefer the way it is now. you can use ||the pact|| to offset god mode, which is something i see suggested on the official twitter from time to time
Appreciate the info!
Anyone got any Reshade presets going on for this game? Trying to mute the extremely bright whites and make effects (boons, enemy attacks, hazards) more distinguishable from one another
Started meds which cause photosensitivity and I can't see anything during certain parts of the game
A bit late but you will be hard pressed to find hell mode speedrun because the rules don't allow Hell Mode.
So there is no runner attempting it.
However, there are high heat runs pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies if that suits you.
thats kinda interesting to me. I'd think that would be a pretty obvious category ha
I won't go into details but there are some "politics" involving getting Hell Mode speedruns in.
hah, fair enough
Basically there is no Hell Mode category :D, simple as that.
I've only played with hellmode so far, so I was gonna try to see how far off the mark my fastest times were
but the only way to get 64 heat is with hell mode, but good luck to whoever tries it
Yeah that would be fun
Well high heat runners don't care too much about speedrun. Not that they don't do it. Many people do the 50 heat category
I think there are some maxed hell mode saves out there. Not sure though if they are freely available.
I mean my save file is already a hell mode save. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding you ha
there's a maxed out non-hellmode save on the Hades src page, I don't quite recall where
yup, it even has an empty run history
basically as much of a clean slate as you can get
oh nice, once I wrap up my steam achievements, I might look into that then
Aphrodite with a pink glock
A love gun, if you will
[KISS music plays in the distance]
Love Shot?
Nah love shot is this
True to the name
Love Shotgun
hera with crush shot is throwing that shotgun at someone and then the shotgun goes off
its a comically large shotgun shell, shoots shotguns, and then the shotgun shoots pellets

It's a proximity rocket.
What's the point of having stormed lightning?
Especially if you have high attack speed, it seems like the zeus attack just gets the job done. Is stormed lightning really adding anything?
I'm just trying to understand the benefit of it
i have a confession to make
i pirated hades because of how bad i wanted it
and then bought it on christmas day
best choice of my life
Can doom crit with Pressure Points or Mark?
yes
honestly i only get storm lightning to unlock the legendary
i dont think its too useful as anything other than a legendary unlock
enter the gungeon theme plays
[Y.V.'s theme plays in the distance]
can't wait for someone to make a mod that adds exagryph into gungeon
and that someone isn't gonna be me
@brazen lagoon I see we both hate using the bow
My index finger gets a cramp using it
I just dislike it because it takes like 17 years to clear with it
YES
Although hera + crush shot is pretty good
hera and crush shot then pom the balls out of crush shot
i did this and got a 27 minute clear
in hindsight i should've checked the charon wells for the item that gives u one extra cast
and maybe rerolled hermes for the thing that makes cast gem fall out faster
Who else plays Hades on Switch and PC (both)
I really want it to come to Xbox? Any plans?

Will Hades ever come to other platforms?
We launched v1.0 of Hades only on Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. We'll be considering opportunities to bring the game to additional platforms down the line. Thank you for your interest.
Word. That’s awesome to hear. I purchased the album on Steam to support development even more
such epic tunes!
wh
Are we talking about Zag having a somethin'gauge?
Snrk, I would assume so. It's supposed to deal knockback, right?
man, had to join this discord just to say: this game is absolutely phenomenal
been playing since the realse on switch. Absolutely having a blast
best game 2020
Honestly when i saw the trailer at the 2018 game awards, it looked super boring. But then in November I saw a friend try it out, decided to get it on sale, and oh my goodness. Hades is so good I'd rather play this game than Cyberpunk.
Facts
Had Hades since it came out on Switch and still play it almost everyday. Got cyberpunk on PC and cant get around to playing again (though I need to at some point)
yeah Zagreus voice actor was phenomenal
I loved how supergiant made a video to learn Good Riddance
Watch our composer and audio director Darren Korb walk you through how to play 'Good Riddance' from the Hades Original Soundtrack on guitar! Includes tabs for each part of the song.

I'm not a musician as a career but I do wanna learn Good Riddance eventually
Omg. I didnt know that. Might have to try that.
yeah, such a nice gem on Youtube
I cried when I first encountered Eurydice in Asphodel
it's such an amazing song
you just feel the motherly love warmth from her
it's amazing
I remember just chilling there for 5 minutes before continuing on
Finally got the rolling credits for the game after finally finishing the game with all weapons at least once. Thank you to everyone supergiant games for making an awesome game. I played it since epic launch and got it also ons team and have been grinding on the same save since then. Now I need to unlock all the extra stuff. again thank you!
congrats ^ ^

Lyrics:
Fates
Weave their threads
Our lives are sewn
Born
To a life
All but our own
We feel i...
any song in Hades is good tbh
but that one is pretty fitting
Best song in the game ez
Bow is pretty strong but sword bad
it's really up to you nemesis
I think all weapons are garbage
Damn bro you don't need to go that hard

@hexed shore please remember to follow rule 1 of the server Be Kind as outlined in #readme-first
I think they were joking
still that comment is uncalled for
Oh rip, I thought fox was slacking on ur mum jokes of late so I was just messing around
Friendly ribbing is fine when you're among friends, but not in a public server where context doesn't translate well to casual observers 
Just say no u next time
I really liked the bow when I got the fast shot upgrade, but the charged one isn't really that bad too
Welp my bad, I'm sorry if that came off as offensive @manic bobcat
Well no hard feeling from my part.
I get it. I also get how it looks on the outside.
Nein Thy
Nein isn't English but 9/10 for effort
howdy hades fam
The hidden bow aspect is so good you just dash-attack away from all danger and special


When Zag goes to bed on time, so probably never 
Zag is probably the kind of guy to play video games until 4am
"I almost beat the final boss last round, one more round please Hypnos" 
Guys, I got Hades to the second phase for the first time last night but he won't go easy on me even when I scream "Please, daddy, no!"
Father's Love
also the little soul things Greatshields, Longspears etc turn into.. am I the only one who noticed (prolly not) that they look similiar to those Process thingies from Transistor?
Okay what happened here? The infernal trove told me I am getting Darkness. I used ||Thanatos|| to clear the room fast but then the reward changed to gold?
Boon screen and victory screen cosmetic, for ui only
Well it does boost your skills if the UI does look way cooler
Make ur ui fill ur entire screen to increase skill
when talking about my skill there are all hopes lost.
is ||charon fight|| completely random or can you manipulate it somehow?
so I just tried my first run with the hidden spear and ... it feels bad
like compared to cursed blade
maybe I was just looking at the 'Trove Trial' text and thought that's why it's darkness. cuz it's written in purple.
First you need to max it with blood. Then you need to minimize getting hit. It does quite a bit of damage and has a fun charged Skewer build.
Has anyone beaten the game on first run lmao
If you mean their first time on a fresh file, unlikely.
Has anyone else had a thing where with the bow/gun youre not shooting where your cursor is and slightly to the left of where the cursor is
yes, there's people who have finished a run on their very first run on a fresh file
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je6qJ_0U1ok&t=70s - a first run speedrun @median schooner @maiden juniper
though I think it's an interesting question if anyone's ever got to the final boss and beaten it on their first ever time launching the game
mayube someone who is really experienced with roguelikes
I highly doubt it, especially without prior knowledge of enemy attack patterns and what to take for synergies
vorime also talks about how the first run is more difficult than subsequent runs in that linked video above
does touch of styx stack
pretty sure it does
It's possible but extremely unlikely
I’ve got a minor complaint
That food that euredice sells, that makes the next 3 boons higher rarity?
It does not stack with Exclusive Access
well, it does give higher chance for duos and legendaries if you can get those iirc
cant say i get this interaction often, so i suppose this is kind of odd
but then again refreshing nectar doesnt guarantee a heroic/next level at all, it just guarantees high rarity, which is epic/legendary/duo
so if you already have exclusive access it would do next to nothing, since it doesnt upgrade boons to the next level like ambrosia delight does
so its not that odd i guess
After 105 hours I finally realised that Lernie hisses before most of his attacks, which tells me when to run/dodge. I feel so stupid.
The highest rarity boons you can normally recieve (outside of exchanges, duos and legendaries) is epic
So essentially if you pick refreshing rectar and don't already meet the pre-reqs for a legendary or duo it will do nothing for you in your specific use case @naive haven
I beat Hades so I feel comfortable joining this server now
No there’s the red tier isn’t their
Typically reserved for exchanges but
Why isn’t it available in this scenario
Because heroic boons are only offered as exchanges
The why, not sure I just know that there's only a small few ways of getting heroic boons
- boon exhanges, 2) eurydace (1st option iirc) 3) the rare crop boon
Yeah I was aware of the first option with Eury
It’s why I figured the third option would work as well
=-=
I said the s word
Ah
which s word
Silly sailor, sort your sayings proper
But I still don’t know what the alcohol stuf you get from ||Theseus|| is for
ambrosia
Yes that
you need it for like
later on in relationships and leveling up stuff
also you still need to spoiler the first boss you just mentioned
Oh, alrighty
no the other one
Please spoiler tag ||hades, as the fight|| is a spoiler in this channel
@autumn mist
theseus is fine
oh
oh
ok uh you know peoples bars
have you got anyone to a locked heart yet
once you unlock that with various favours
Nope
you need to give them ambrosia to raise their gauge higher
Does that do anything for me?
For some specific characters you will ||get a companion from them||
Well ima go forge a bond with Cerberus real quick
Aw no Cerberus is gone
Cerb ded u killed it
just did || my first infernal gate, cleared it !!! ||
man i gotta be real
the spoiler rules in here are very strange
the main restrictions should be in #h1-for-new-players
||infernal Gates stress me tf out so I never go in them lol||
I agree
I came in this channel thinking I didn’t need to spoiler stuff since there was a new players chat
If you're not sure, ask 
Still there is a possibility that some new player might come here
Just spoiler stuff to be safe
It won't kill you
That’s kinda their fault tho lol
Considering, again, there is a new players chat
I didn’t even want to join this server until I beat the game to avoid spoilers, I’m sure if I did I would want to go in the new players chat to avoid spoilers
There’s not rly a point in the new players chat if everything is put in spoilers anyways
i got a real question for yall
what is the fastest time you've gotten to the first boon/hammer in a run
like on your timer
i think i got one in like .7 seconds
There is, it's a place for newer players to ask for advice if they want/need it without seeing spoilers, this is however a channel directed towards general hades discussion
you know there'd probably be a lot less required guidance and deletions from mods in here if the channel was named something like
#hades-non-spoilers
people are obv gonna flock to the one that seems like an alternate name for general discussion first, and not read the others
From my experience people still post spoilers
intentionally?
It happens a non zero amount in the new players channel
yeah i don't think you'd ever be able to edge out all cases
but if this channel is both for the game overall, but without spoilers, it'd definitely fit better with being specified "non-spoilers" in here
near certain you'd get people thinking twice about it
Honestly, if people want to avoid spoilers, don’t join the server of a game you haven’t beat
Kinda common sense
nah that ain't a good policy
People like to discuss the game they are playing with others
why would you restrict yourself from talking to others about the new game you got
you'd be excited to share your experiences along the way
not wait till the end
I’d rather talk to my friends rather than strangers that have already played it
there is a channel named "new-players"
I know literally no one thats into this genre of games lol
yeah honestly if i'm passionate about a game
it doesn't matter who i talk to
by any means in terms of spoilers, i feel like there's definitely a bit of a better way for you guys to be handling
i guess overwatching spoilers
but i digress
There's always room for improvement 
The point is I like to avoid spoilers, and I think it’s common sense that the best way to do that is to avoid people that have already beaten it, especially a large server of them
That's your opinion though
That’s a fact
that's not fact
Not a fact
There’s no better way to avoid spoilers
uh
Theres always risks of being spoiled, but when most people are considerate, there's no problem to begin with
^
i don't think anyone's trying to say being abstinent from the server completely
ISN'T your best choice
but using dedicated channels for non spoilers is also a good one
I’d rather not hope people are considerate, because people aren’t considerate
I'd take a spoiler or two before locking myself up in my room talking to no one lol
fun to be sociable with people who're new to the game too
Well you're certainly not acting considerate here
but ur kinda just setting yourself up for the expectation that it's gonna be bad
Drop hot takes in the high heat strat channel after your first run
That's what I call fun
LOL

ah yes such as
Just spoiler stuff that might be a spoiler my guy (or gal)
Bruh how do people even play this trash weapon
I have to charge to attack, the game is all about movement
melee-based for life
10/10 trash tier weapon, never touch even with a 10 ft spear
Rail is pretty good tho
Uhh
if you could it'd be top tier
Eris rail is easy mode till heat 16
Well I'm not sure how accurate run and gun would be
Zag isn't exactly a marksman or anything
you've gotta be semi-accurate with it anyway, no?
Run and then gun is better than run and gun anyway
If you use kbm you don't have to be accurate at all
Aim in the general direction and it locks on anyway
My biggest gripe with eris rail infact is I can't shoot the special where enemies aren't cause it locks on
Most weapons do that anyway
I haven’t used the rail yet I don’t like it
Nope, if your enemy is near your cursor it will put the center of the blast on his head
oh yeah that's a pain
i get it's for trying to do max damage but that doesn't rlly take into account movement
It's especially annoying when you're trying to shoot yourself cause well eris yknow
And then you just stand there like, SHOOT ME NOT HIM!
honestly though i've not experienced much of rail to give much comment on it
lol
plus that one boon that gives you what like
higher damage
I love rail it's easily one of the best weapons imo but I'm just bad with it in general
but if you get hit you take damage
If I had to tierlist in terms of easiness id go shield bow then rail then the melees
My fav weapon is fists though
Easiness for what?
Easiness for clearing
is that high DPS or high speed tho
I’d say the bow is the hardest
Bow is pretty good once you get into the rhythm
cuz it definitely depends what you're going down boon wise
It does insane damage real quick
tru
Crowd control is the issue with bow
It has 2 skill elements, power shot plus aiming
spec?
But fortunately none of the bosses are crowds
I havent had too many runs yet, but the boons I start with usually make me either really overpowered or really underpowered
And poseidon makes mobs a joke
spec is fairly good for CCing
What is spec
Oh bow special
It does only 10 base damage so I'm not a fan
Unless it's chiron or Rama I'm usually not touching that button except against numbskulls maybe
Chiron says hi
Chiron is all about special so that's not really a fair argument
SO much fun
That's a spoiler
This is why I stick to hades builds and hades story channels
On the topic of spoilers...
Spoiler chat best chat
Hey guys. I downloaded this game (shame on me) and my all free time is just .. gone. I want to buy game in steam for full price and can I use my saves ? If yes - ill get achiv ?
i think this is a question for tech support
Ok, thanks c:
@clear shore yup
i did the exact same thing as you
your saves are stored in your documents folder, completely exclusive to the game's steam location
i was so happy to find that out
you also get every achievement
none are blocked or anything, it's just some are only given as you do the thing
i.e. use a greater call (it doesn't carry over constantly--you're given the achievement when you use it)
Oh wow, thanks alot for this info :)
Now I have to beat the God of death officially 
best of luck 🙏
good luck!!!
Embarassing fact about me
For the longest time I didn't have the extra dash upgrade
i used the other mirror of night thingy
it was ok with the shield
yeaaa can't live without it
Extra dash is just wayyyy too good imo
yeah i need it to dodge
I'll only ever take ruthless if I'm using gilgamesh where I have more than 1 dash
at least i only need to clear the game with 2 more mirror things for the prophecy
for which i'm gonna go
|| arthur when i unlock it after the next heat run i do ||
for the health because they're stubborn defiance and high confidence

YOOOOOO
coronacht hater eh? We don't like your kind around here
Fav aspect let's go
|| arthur?||
||aspect of rama chads rise up||
doing a second plume runnext
zagreus fists plume run etc
just farming darkness and || completing a heat condition for prophecy||
||Arthur ans Rama best||
And what're you gonna do about it bub

You wanna throw hands bro? I'll throw hands
Stan coronacht

I've maxed out all aspects except for base
i still need to unlock || shield hidden ||
:(
i think i just to use cosmic egg whenever i have a shield run
not like i need any boons for prophecies outside of chaos and the hermes legends
which i'm gonna do with the plume
||shield hidden?|| cringe
I don't like it
oop
Shield is just inferior overall imo




oh
