Yes. I get the right combination but even with the 10% more duo chance I get it like 1 out of 5 runs

Invest early into increasing boon chance. Either from Chaos or certain gods. I reliably get duo boons when I want them.

God mode is more for those who arent used to play Roguelike games, some Roguelike games has a kind of easy mode but I never try them because I play Roguelike games for the challenge.

Godmode has a lot of purposes, not just limited to inexperience. Some people use it to get their first clear faster. Or to help with bad eyesight or slow reflexes from degenerative nerve/muscle diseases.

Technically this is a rouguelite

Also, once I get to Elysium, I usually switch to Cerberus’s keepsake to get my HP up.
I just use whatever I want to level up in Tartarus and Asphodel.
fleet narwhal
same
winter harbor
I usually do god god acorn acorn
hushed schooner
i only reallyuse acorn these days if i feel like im gonna ned it or want the insurance
winter harbor
Every keepsake is at max level for me now
fleet narwhal
i cant wait to level up plume and butterfly 🙃
tiny tundra
I don’t care for the Eurydice’s acorn yet.
winter harbor
Now that I use ||EM3|| by default and still feel like I struggle a little with the fight I use acorn
topaz yew
I got 30% attack speed increase i feel powerful
tiny tundra
Also, speaking of, why is Eurydice so mad over Orpheus? Unless there’s something to the story that isn’t in the original myth, Eurydice died, and Orpheus was so overcome with grief that he decided to literally go through hell to get her back. Then, when he had almost rescued her, his faith faltered (or he simply forgot that he couldn’t turn around until he and Eurydice were out, which doesn’t seem to be the case here), and Eurydice was taken back to the Underworld.
Like, I kinda get being upset for a little bit, but, in Hades, she seems to have wound up in Asphodel, which is halfway decent, and she would have wound up there eventually, anyways. Orpheus didn’t kill her, either—she died a natural death, and she was a hair’s width away from being saved by Orpheus.
And, now that they’re both in the Underworld, Eurydice is still so furious with him after multiple lifetimes that she refuses to even see him and gets short with Zagreus for trying to mend things?
I don’t get it.
fleet narwhal
i think shes kinda pissed not that she wasnt saved, but about orpheus’s faith
winter harbor
I think Hadestown does a good take on their story
tiny tundra
I guess. Unless I misunderstand, though, Orpheus was mostly distrustful of Hades, not so much of Eurydice, and, given the reputation of the gods, can you really blame him? In some versions of the story, Hades never even actually intended to return Eurydice to Orpheus and simply made an apparition appear to him.
Hades is usually pretty trustworthy, though, so I dunno. He’s one of the less devious gods in Greek mythology.
And Hades in Hades doesn’t seem like the sort of fellow to go back on his word.
winter harbor
like, Orpheus has doubt that she's following him out into the cold and dark, while Eurydice is behind him singing about optimistic stuff
I think Orpheus thinks that Hades didn't do his end of the deal, forgetting that she would only transform from a shade to one of the living once she was outside, not just when he was outside
topaz yew
Wait
did you guys forget a Keen detail
It wasn't Hades who made this decision
It was Persephone
topaz yew
No i mean in original mythology
He approached Persephone
and Persephone said if you look back she will be dragged back down here
hushed schooner
oh
topaz yew
yeah
winter harbor
Psyche did her journey into the underworld much more happily, even if she was made to sleep from peeking at persephone's beauty regime, and while pregnant as well
topaz yew
I remember cause i had a discussion about this
IT was like did Persephone get influenced because of the underworld or is it really who she is
etc by underworld i mean her status
as being the wife of god of the underworld
drinking and playing hades is it
OH AND ALSO
||This singing is absolutely beautiful WELL DONE developers||
topaz yew
Orpheus
thick dove
Have yet to hear Orpheus.
lyric wharf
I finished a normal run with hidden spear aspect.
winter harbor
He needs to be happy before he'll sing again
lyric wharf
It was my first run with it, I almost died at ||Hades||.
I like it, I havent lvled it.
hushed schooner
oh
that explains how you almost died then
mine is level 4 gonna get it to 5 before i attempt a run
mint forum
damn
athena legendary feels kinda underwhelming
like it's nice
but like 20 seconds feels long af
thick dove
The Hades Spear is the one I've been using. Have not gotten the hidden one.
hushed schooner
yeah my hades spear is level 4 as well its my favourite spear
lyric wharf
I dont think it has to do with the lvl of the spear, its probably because I'm not used to play with it yet, I cant play as fast as usual with it.
But yeah the lvl didn't help either.
topaz yew
||SO thisn Demeter Right click ability is astounding||
hushed schooner
which is right click
i use controller
yeah it's probably a hard aspect to learn
i imagine it's very different to cursed slash
which i struggle with anyway
lyric wharf
I'm gonna play with another weapon now.
lyric wharf
Either railgun or fists.
hushed schooner
|| lucifer || rail might be my favourite rail idk
the two runs ive donewith it have been really fun and i feel like i understand it alot more now
lyric wharf
I havent played a lot with those.
hushed schooner
i still need to try hestia though
so i havent really tried all the rails yet
its like the only non hidden aspect i havent done a run with yet
wet vessel
Is hestia the one with empowered shot?
hushed schooner
yeah
wet vessel
If it's that one, it's pretty fun. Feels like I'm plying with a sniper that needs to reload every shot
lyric wharf
Talking of Hestia I'll try this one, I haven't tried it yet.
hushed schooner
i need to upgrade it more before using t
it only level 2
probably get it to level 3
hushed schooner
oh
yeah i like to level them so i can
use them more powerful
depends on the weapon
because id rather have
higher base damage on empowered shot before using it
but i used || arthur || instantly at level 1
fleet narwhal
the increase from leveling with titan blood isnt that substantial imo, a level 1 weapon is still viable
hushed schooner
i might try || gilgamesh|| ar level 1 because i don't really have rhe blood to spare and i kinda wanna just see how good they are
ywah but i think some weapons need that blood more than others
to make the most out of rhe bonuses
hushed schooner
you gotta get those thanatos decorations by the balcony
i think i genuinely like
only bought those for a time tbh
like once i started i got no other decorations until the thanatos corner was top quality

They are asking for in game version number. If you are feeling charitable you can log in game and confirm. I'm too lazy to help an all cap person barging in asking for easily verifiable information.

not how I read it tbh
thought they were asking if that's the final amount of updates
I'm at work so even if I could be bothered, I can't

Idk about that. The last 3 people who came in here asking for specific version numbers turned out to be captains on the high sea.

yeah ||em1 if you're not prepared can be really tough ||
dapper oracle
weird. I never had a problem with ||EM1||
hushed schooner
yeah i guess it i think
dapper oracle
||EM3|| is almost as bad as ||EM4|| though
hushed schooner
it makes alecto alot harder than the others
maybe that's due to the already comparative difficulty of alecto
with the big saws
i find tisiphone the easiest under ||em1|| tbb
||i just don't like dealing with her against the other sisters||
dapper oracle

and she has no traps in her arena

So i just got my first ever ||Bond exactly what does that mean?||

uh
it means you've filled hearts with someone well done
there's not any specific gameplay benefit to it outside of the cute chibi

oh okay
hushed schooner
but yeah there's not really any specific gameplay benefit
but they're really satisfying to forge imo

true okay so
Real good question
||While i need to get zues a nectar how do i aquire the last two?||

To get the ||last two keepsakes? You need to complete the 4th area multiple times to earn them||
@topaz yew

Ah really jesus thank you
acoustic plank
It's about 9 times iirc, but it depends on a lot. Good luck, godspeed

9 clears + do it once more ||but that time you won't have to fight the big man himself||

It's the weakest of all the hidden aspects for me

and uh tempest flourish
so knockback
it was good

so many of them have such cool aesthetic attraction for me tbh

when i first played it i was like "wow these people are hot"
hushed schooner
yeah
supple lodge
also i rlly like athena, not in the simp way but
she has been a favourite deity of mine solely due to the owl mascot
brazen lagoon
i like artemis
supple lodge
artemis is badass
hushed schooner
i also like ares he has incredibly cool energy and also his boons are really good
supple lodge
ares is a himbo
brazen lagoon
thought dio was the himbo

i mean i don't find him hot that way

and i relate to the fact that ares is the family disappointment

Ares is based

ares is a himbo
he seems p smart to me. dio and poseidon on the other hand

kratos is a better god of war anyways

its honestly so funny to read that in myth,,, ares was known for being a crybaby and coward apparently
hushed schooner
really
supple lodge
but i also feel bad for him
hushed schooner
hes like one of the scariest gods in game

oh
brazen lagoon
ares likes fighting but not when he's actually facing a challenge
then he runs and hides
therefore kratos> ares

Kratos wasn't even a god of war in greek mythology

chiron i'm always torn about, I think I prefer heart rend crit, but hangover is also fun
stiff summit
A lot of builds work with it. even sea storm
plucky brook
I'm a meta slave... which doesn't really make sense cause this game is so perfectly balanced pretty much everything works
hushed schooner
i need to do more chiron builds ans runs but i also need to get it to level 5
maybe once i get some other aspects up ill try and focus on it

I need to practice with other aspects, but I like the ones I have

im
probably not a meta slave

Also, you can do it! I believe in you! 😀

when you find the final boss again you'll have more knowledge of the patterns and be able to fight better probably

Btw if I already completed all the work orders, I can just trade the diamonds for ambrosia right?
Since I don't have any use for it
Other than cosmetics
hushed schooner
well
you could get the cosmetics
have you got all the sings
songs
but yes in theory you could just get ambrosia
hushed schooner
i think its only 20 diamonds for the theme and ranks
i mean if you want all thw songs then
id say buy them
upbeat cedar
I think I'll have the ambrosia first
I'll listen to the songs once i'm done with completing quests
hushed schooner
yeah i mean
i guess you can probably get alot more diamonds
for them
you can get alot of ambrosia though
upbeat cedar
Yea from the fated list
But i did something dumb and upgraded some of the ||companions|| that I'll never use again
lmao
manic bobcat
you will have more ambrosia than you know what to do with anyway
hushed schooner
yeah
i mean i think i upgraded them out of like
just wanting to
even if i only regularly use a few
still need to max 3 but i dont really need much ambrosia for relationships anymore
and i have loads more i can get
i can see how you get too much ambrosia
i mean i still have multiple characters to give ambrosia to but i only need || 12 to max companions ||
acoustic plank
When you're done with ambrosia you can turn everythibg into blood
hushed schooner
and then i only have a few characters to forge bonds with
acoustic plank
So, eh
hushed schooner
yeah i also might get the themes
for it
and uh other cosmetic
im already past the point of needing diamonds for anything but trading ans music
and decorations and cosmetics
like no technical gameplay or storylines need it

Does having a boon in one of your core slots diminish the odds of another god offering an exchangeable boon?
Or do you have the same chance of encountering a core boon, regardless of whether you have that slot filled?
mint forum
yea
it does
getting a strike
will really lower ur chances
of getting offered another strike
tender oxide
I know that if you pick a core boon from the first god at a double boon room the second god will offer a swap

and if another strike is offered then htey can swap

I see.

buttt i wouldn't double down on that fact
