sweatsweat

[crude musk]

o o f

[craggy barn]

that's just the bracer

[hollow hawk]

bracer already does that, yeah

[brisk trail]

he kinda does with achilles keepsake right?

[fleet narwhal]

but the bracer actually does something

[supple lodge]

i was gonna say achilles keepsake

[brisk trail]

^^

[fleet narwhal]

are explosions affected by bracer?

or aoe?

[brisk trail]

But does blitz disc not do single hits?

[craggy barn]

what

[hollow hawk]

it does single hits in an area though

[craggy barn]

wdym

[hollow hawk]

area of effect, is what aoe means

[hollow hawk]

they mean that the zeus shield blitz does single hits, so it should have backstab

[craggy barn]

do you mean being able to only hit one enemy at a time? because that's definitely not a thing in this game

[brisk trail]

yes thats what i thought

but paper made it clear

[brisk trail]

alright

[crude musk]

ugggh none of the four legendaries i still need line up with four DUOS i still need

i have zeus and athenas legendaries!!! just gimme the duo!!!!!

[austere wagon]

bois i just bought the extreme measures thingy from the contractor

whats that

is that the ||pact of punishment||'s extreme measure

?

[crude musk]

EXTREMER measures

unlocks em4 i believe

[austere wagon]

ahh i see

so ||hades|| is stronger

alright

tq

[scenic stream]

Lovely ty

[worldly canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-hell-burn-in-hell-see-you-in-hell-fire-gif-5012876

I want to see how far I can get in this game with Pact of Punishment stuff but EM4 may be too big an ask

[craggy barn]

||heat|| is a spoiler.,,,

[runic agate]

That's not how the works bud check the codex and look at what are needed to get the duos you want

[crude musk]

nah i meant ‘why can’t the duos and legendaries i still need come from the same gods’

because that’s so much less stressful for gathering prereqs

[runic agate]

I've done several runs with 0 legendary and 0 duo

[crude musk]

bleh

i have gods legacy maxed so i get them quite a bit thankfully

i also have fated persuasion

[craggy barn]

i'd consider myself a duo digger

before choosing a god i ALWAYS check the codex to see if they have any good duos to go with the gods i already have

[runic agate]

Hell I've done a run that ended with like only 5 boons

[craggy barn]

might as well go boonless

[hollow hawk]

i rarely ever get duo boons tbh

I dont farm for them enough ig

[runic agate]

I don't ever get legendary boons just because I don't care

[hollow hawk]

I also dont have gods legacy on, so theres that

[runic agate]

Hades is just a game where I can do what ever when ever

[craggy barn]

legendaries are more "situational"

[runic agate]

I don't need any kind of boons to function

[crude musk]

i’m trying to get all the prophecies done as soon as i can

[craggy barn]

like fully loaded which is only useful if you're doing a cast build

[runic agate]

Then just do it spread across many runs amfh

[hollow hawk]

as soon as i can

[runic agate]

Not really have more casts with any build is nice

[crude musk]

that’s so inefficient thoughhhhh

[upper mesa]

Prophecies can take a while to do

[runic agate]

No one cares

[crude musk]

/whine

[runic agate]

Just play the game

[hollow hawk]

she is playing the game tho

By doing the prophecies!

[craggy barn]

going for prophecies also falls into "just playing the game"

[upper mesa]

Yeah, and prophecies are a good meta-goal

[runic agate]

Hades is a great game and if you want to 100% it sooooooo fast just so you can stop playing isn't a good way to play

[hollow hawk]

and they can help you find out which boons/gods you like best

[crude musk]

doing prophecies means i get to use boons i wouldn’t ordinarily choose

[runic agate]

Just enjoy the game

[hollow hawk]

Since you'll have to take them all

maybe she enjoys doing the prophecies

lol

[upper mesa]

Getting all the different boons once helps inform decisions later quite well

[crude musk]

and try different builds

[craggy barn]

do you just immediately put down a fun game as soon as you 100% it

[hollow hawk]

Trying to gatekeep how people play the game isnt gonna work bud

[crude musk]

my completionist little heart wants all the things

[runic agate]

I agree

But I also want to savor the game

[craggy barn]

there are different ways and approaches to just enjoying a game

[crude musk]

also, i’m not very good at these kind of games, so noodling around getting good stuff to help me suck less is fun

[hollow hawk]

exactly

How you enjoy it doesn't mean other people enjoy it the same way

open mindedness is a thing yknow

[crude musk]

if i wanted to blast through i’d have piled on the heat by now

which: yikes, no thanks

[craggy barn]

hades provides many options to enjoy it even after achieving 100%

[austere jacinth]

Very true.

[upper mesa]

I’m at the point in the game where I’m just going for all the resource sinks while adding on heat and I’m still having a lot of fun

[hollow hawk]

samee

i have so many things to do

[upper mesa]

200 runs in, maxed relationships, nearly 70k darkness on my save file for example, and I’m still going to play so much

[hollow hawk]

getting all the titan blood, getting all prophecies, getting all house contractor things

getting all bonds

[worldly canyon]

The || Dionysus and Zag prank on Orpheus absolutely sends me ||

[crude musk]

i’ve done one run w the timed heat thing and that was the most stressful omg

[hollow hawk]

im probs gonna sink like ~300-500 hrs in this game before i leave it

[brazen lagoon]

340 hours in and I'm still gettin badges

[upper mesa]

I also only have one prophecy left, I’m holding out on ||the epilogue one|| until a friend gets to it too

[hollow hawk]

Tight deadline is so easy

It is my go to heat thing

[midnight cobalt]

||Is there more story after persephone comes back or is that it?||

[hollow hawk]

You should get used to it

[crude musk]

time pressures stress me the heck out so bad

[upper mesa]

Spoiler mark that please!

[craggy barn]

||tight deadline 1 is normally free heat||

[hollow hawk]

Td can be a bit meh with the shield tho

[upper mesa]

I’ve only ever run up against real timer issues with ||tight deadline 3||

[crude musk]

i did it with... eight minutes or so to go?

[hollow hawk]

||td3 is hell||

[midnight cobalt]

Well the game does take place there

[craggy barn]

||td3|| literally relies on good rng and decision-making

||td1 and td2|| are both pretty chill imo

[upper mesa]

Also, some prophecies were significantly easier during early access, so I have several duo boons I’ve never gotten but I got the prophecies done before they existed, which is fun

[worldly canyon]

NOOO

I misclicked and picked the wrong boon

Please tell me the Ares and Dio duo isn't that good

Oh it totally is

Argh

[fleet narwhal]

f

[upper mesa]

F

Doing that with hammers sucks even more

[fleet narwhal]

cursed slash on hidden sword

;-;

[upper mesa]

Definitely one way to break a run

[craggy barn]

why can you even get cursed slash on hidden sword

that's like the one time where it really sucks

[upper mesa]

It’s just a dead option whenever it comes up

[craggy barn]

hoarding slash is also very meh on hidden sword

it works better with zag because of the attack speed

[upper mesa]

Hoarding slash is additive and not base, right?

[craggy barn]

i think certain hammers could actually have very slightly altered effects depending on the aspect

[upper mesa]

Definitely does more with more frequency

[craggy barn]

like if you're using hidden sword, then it adds 20% of your coin count to your damage instead of 5%

[upper mesa]

I think the worst thing about hammers are when I’m building around one type of attack and none of the options do anything with it - for example, special builds with the fourth aspect of the spear, and being offered only attack changes

Not being able to reroll hammers makes a lot of sense but still feels unfortunate, though it seems clear to me why that’s not a thing

[crude musk]

honestly only having two hammers per run makes not being able to retool them considerably more irritating

*reroll

[craggy barn]

why exactly can you not reroll hammers?

[hollow hawk]

so that you try out different ones and dont always get the one insane hammer

[fleet narwhal]

so you cant just cheese everything

[upper mesa]

I feel like it’d make fated persuasion the only real option

[hollow hawk]

and that, yeah

[upper mesa]

And it makes things too easy

[crude musk]

true

[upper mesa]

The anvil serves to fill that niche somewhat, it’s implemented for that reason

[crude musk]

||dad|| gets real salty abt his ||mother in law ||if you use her greater call huh

[hollow hawk]

yeah if you have a bad hammer build you can anvil it out

[hollow hawk]

yeah, just found that out today

Also spoiler

[craggy barn]

somehow he gets more mad about you using ||his mom-in-law||'s power against him than ||his OWN|| power against him

[crude musk]

i thought i was being suitably vague to avoid spoiler tagging it

[hollow hawk]

not the mother in law thing, the ||dad|| thing lol

[crude musk]

but there

aaah

[hollow hawk]

yeah

[upper mesa]

Well once you're able to use ||his own|| it's because ||the escape attempts are official business||

[crude musk]

this is true

||”i hereby release sisyphus from the terms of his pact” “you WHAT”|| i’m cackling

[upper mesa]

His reactions to house contractor things are all AMAZING

[craggy barn]

"A sundial, finally? Indeed?"

like is nobody gonna tell him there needs to actually be a sun present for it to work

[worldly canyon]

DIONYSUS YOU'RE SUCH A BRO

He gave the duo as an option again

[upper mesa]

The sundial works, it clearly reads 7:48

[craggy barn]

ah, right

[crude musk]

i love dionysus

[craggy barn]

it's always 7:48 in hell

[crude musk]

i need two of his duos still so imma have his keepsake for tartarus

[upper mesa]

Dio is great, I absolutely love his cast

[craggy barn]

and totally not just because of the candles and lighting all over the house

[prisma wind]

Duos tend to be rather 'sticky' so if you turn one down it has a pretty high chance of showing up again later

[craggy barn]

if you don't need one but there are no other options you can just sell it for big money later 🧠

[upper mesa]

Aspect of Hera/Trippy Shot/Ice Wine/Scintillating Feast go B O O M

[crude musk]

those three boons with ANY weapon go boom

also flurry cast

[craggy barn]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkjIGHN3XbM&ab_channel=CasualGamingChannel||

[crude musk]

oh my god

[upper mesa]

Yeah that sounds about right

[craggy barn]

"Why... you... how...?"

[hollow hawk]

ice wine feels sooo good honestly

removes the trippy shot lob mechanic

and chills foes for privileged status

[upper mesa]

I always build it on hera because it also removes the lob

[hollow hawk]

yeah exactly

[crude musk]

ah

argh i forgot to swap keepsakes

[craggy barn]

wait how does trippy shot interact with hera now?

[crude musk]

but i needed crush shot for the dionysus duo anyway it’s fine

[upper mesa]

It's not changed, I just mean it doesn't spend time in the air, just blasts where you hit

Trippy shot interacts the same way, I was just pointing out that it's easier to hit with using the cast load than the artillery-type lob

[crude musk]

ice wine does that anyway?

or it did for me

[upper mesa]

It does, it's just fun for it to happen sooner

The ice wine duo is interesting with hera since it's on a slight delay from impact

[brisk trail]

Is it bad im making a MHA Hades AU because it in my head rent free?

[loud lintel]

just unlocked the 4th sword aspect

the design is amazing

[upper mesa]

It's so good

[visual marlin]

why do I suck with the spear so much

[hushed pumice]

Spear is weird

You really have to build it efficiently

[upper mesa]

The commitment with spin attacks is difficult, but a really useful tech is that you can charge a spin and then dash for a much more useful hitbox

[wary mauve]

i need merch from Duza

[loud lintel]

charging your spin while enemies are spawning also works

[upper mesa]

Once enemies are around you, dash attack is significantly safer and better to use, while special is good against small groups of large enemies at distance

[lyric wharf]

I currently have 6 bloodstones with Hera bow Crush Shot build.

Artemis legendary + Chaos boon.

One shotting Lernie heads.

[upper mesa]

That's definitely going to do some damage

[lyric wharf]

That's from yesterday but I've paused in between and I havent got back yet, going back soon.

Stygian Soul is apparently better but can you consistently get more stones ?

[brisk trail]

i started playing spear yesterday and i really like the style

[lyric wharf]

The spear is amazing.

[upper mesa]

Stygian soul does a lot with even 1 extra bloodstone, which is doable pretty often with fated persuasion and chaos opportunities

[lyric wharf]

Especially Achilles aspect.

I'll try to run with Stygian Soul soon.

Yeah rerolling Chaos choices will help.

[desert meadow]

I normally use Infernal Soul, but I gave Stygian a try with Hera bow, it's worth giving a shot and seeing if you prefer it for some builds.

[thick atlas]

achilles spear is insanely good

extra dash and essentially a permananent game buff

[tacit ember]

potato?

[wispy canyon]

I wonder if they will still release more content updates, or maybe DLC to this amazing game. I can't wait

[hollow hawk]

extra dash?

do you mean the spear recovery thing?

because that isnt a dash really lol

[pallid tundra]

yea

it's not super easy to use as a good dash

you just lose your attack unless you decide to use it

I like Hades' aspect more

[craggy barn]

do you have i-frames mid bull rush with achilles?

[pallid tundra]

i think it's just like a normal dash

so i think so

[ivory geode]

i dont know but it would make the most sense if it did

yea agreed

[pallid tundra]

it still sux tho

[craggy barn]

can't be that hard to find out i guess

[pallid tundra]

im going to start talking like theseus and I hate it

i keep calling people fiends

[ivory geode]

the word fiend is rly funny to me
mostly because of the pilotredsun Man's Best Friend video

[craggy barn]

you jest, blackguard

[ivory geode]

<demon materializes in room>
oh no. it's a fiend.

[willow token]

Anyone here play with Keyboard+Mouse? How is it?

[tacit ember]

yes

[short stirrup]

who here enjoys memeing on ||Hades|| with the ||Sigil of the Dead||

[tacit ember]

pc=good

[tacit ember]

yes can relate

[brisk trail]

it's fine (you just need to adjust 1 or 2 keys, imo).

[willow token]

which ones do you adjust?

[manic bobcat]

That thing is actually legit, not a meme :D

[manic bobcat]

Special and Cast I bet

Just swap the two

[brisk trail]

i changed the special, and i don't remember, but probably cast

[lyric wharf]

Raging Rush buff you mean ?

[lyric wharf]

Yes.

[short stirrup]

no I know I say memeing because you're using his aid against him

Just cleared

[lyric wharf]

I love it lol, ||Hades|| be like ||What ?!|| or ||I'm here !||

[short stirrup]

I did it just now and it just went ||Zagreus: Father! Hades: Son! (in a "fatherly" tone)||

[craggy barn]

what about using a greater call against a god in trial

[short stirrup]

oof

havent done

[craggy barn]

"......What are you doing?"

[lyric wharf]

I think I got that one too lol.

[short stirrup]

tried to but I got f###ed over by Artemis

13 heat pog

[lyric wharf]

I called Zeus during Zeus trial and he said something like "Its only now that you ask for my help ?"

But it still works I think.

[short stirrup]

lol

[craggy barn]

if you do it with artemis it's literally

"..."
"What are you doing?"

[short stirrup]

:[

[lyric wharf]

Lol.

[short stirrup]

oh pog I have 10 nectar should I get diamond

[craggy barn]

zagreus doesn't even shout "Artemis!"

[willow token]

I'll just say that I regret not handing out nectar like candy earlier on

I wouldn't exchange it for diamonds

until you have nothing else left to do with it

[short stirrup]

I've already given nectar to a bunch of house of hades characters

actually I've gotten the max bond for all of them except hypnos and megaera

[hollow hawk]

given them nectar once?

oh

[willow token]

yeah but you'll want to give them to everyone

[hollow hawk]

yeah, everyone

[short stirrup]

yeah yeah I know it's ||how you get the epilogue||

oh btw how scary is ||Extreme Measures IV||

[willow token]

I only tried it once, and I won

But that was on a very overpowered build

and I came kind of close to losing

it's certainly worth doing

[lyric wharf]

If you need a diamond then yes.

[spice hearth]

||EM4|| is amazing just fro the music

[quasi fable]

I greater called Athena against her trial for the achievement, I love her confounded tone of "are you quite serious right now", I want to hear all the gods responses to greater calls in trials but it's hard to build so much meter without killing the timer

[crude musk]

i had like. six ares boons AFTER getting the prereqs for his legendary. do you think i spawned the legendary? ha.

[narrow hemlock]

sometimes the gods like to play hard to get

[craggy barn]

it would be so much easier if you could get bad call from [REDACTED]

[upper mesa]

I always seem to get legendaries offered when I don’t want them, they’re fickle

[craggy barn]

not to mention legendaries really feel like they help you less than average duo boons

[upper mesa]

For example, Artemis legendary came up twice in an attack crit build I did but I very rarely see it in cast-focused runs where I’m trying to get it

[craggy barn]

hermes do you really think i need greater recall when i'm doing a zagreus fists build that has little to no focus on casts

[fleet narwhal]

well yes

yes he does

[buoyant sequoia]

what instrument does eurydice use to play good riddance?

(not the actual composer)

[flat crater]

her sprite is holding a lyre but i'd have to actually take time to listen to it to tell more specifically and i can't rn

[buoyant sequoia]

ah that's good enough, thanks! i just wanted to draw fanart of her :P

[flat crater]

oh hell yeah

ok i misspoke.. her sprite isnt holding an instrument at all

however orpheus is holding a lyre

[buoyant sequoia]

hmmm

it looks like she is holding an instrument but bc she has her back facing towards us i cant really tell

[flat crater]

she actually just wears a tambourine on her hip

yeah looking closely her hands are empty

[buoyant sequoia]

:o

[flat crater]

cant send image but theres a p high quality one early in the google image results

however it's probably safe to assume she CAN play the lyre since it's orpheus's instrument

there's not even an instrument anywhere in her room huh thats interesting

if ur shooting for historical accuracy (such that it exists within myth) a lyre or kithara (which is basically also a lyre but it looks different) would be ur best bet

[buoyant sequoia]

oh wow she actually isn't holding anything huh

[buoyant sequoia]

will do 👍 thanks for the help ^_^

[flat crater]

no prob! im like a music nerd lol

[buoyant sequoia]

wait maybe she just sings

and doesnt play

[flat crater]

oh dang maybe

[buoyant sequoia]

yeah since she's only seen with the little drum on her hip whilst orpheus has an instrument on him

:o i wonder if they'll ever do a duet

[formal epoch]

i just completed my first run without using a single DD! i'm at 8 clears rn

[tight crest]

Guys i have very important news

[crude musk]

||the prince, in his great haste, ignored surveying each side of a rather busy crossing, where a swiftly-passing chariot collided with him, very forcefully|| oh my g o d

[tight crest]

Dionysus was according to greek mythology, a femboy

"He is described in literature as womanly or man-womanish."

[wind oar]

So the opposite of a tomboy

[tight crest]

Kinda

Yeah

[plucky phoenix]

there's also hermaphroditus, the literal god of hermaphrodites and the effeminates

a shame he's not in the game smh

[tight crest]

Dionysus also invented "naughty toys"

[wind oar]

Kinda thought Aphrodite would do that

[winter harbor]

Son of aphrodite and hermes

[ivory geode]

i mean the lyre was apollo's jam but hermes is said to have invented it

[winter harbor]

He only became what he’s known for because of some besotted nymph that wished to never be separated from him

[ivory geode]

i think he gave it to apollo so he wouldn't be mad at him for something

[winter harbor]

Yeah, I think hermes stole and feasted on Apollo’s sacred cows

[crude musk]

honestly i’m mad abt the lack of my main man hephaestus

[ivory geode]

yea wheres my dude!!!!

[winter harbor]

And so he wouldn’t get in trouble for it, he gave him the lyre

[crude musk]

we coulda had fire power from hephaestus!!!

[ivory geode]

what would his status curse be + what would it do

[wind oar]

Burn

[tight crest]

Maybe you could heat up an enemy which damages other enemies nearby

[crude musk]

or lower enemy speed

[tight crest]

Like an aoe hangover

[wind oar]

Cast would be a fireball that deals more damage when it hits a bunch of enemies

[tight crest]

Dash could leave behind a trail of fire

[ivory geode]

maybe the cast gets stronger as it travels?

like the staffs in ki- <shot>

[wind oar]

Or like lump of coal from Isaac

Or like the BFG projectile from DOOM

[ivory geode]

or the snowballets from gungeon
we could go on

[wind oar]

Yeah

[tight crest]

What would the call do

[wind oar]

Probably would create a circle of fire that gets bigger until it runs out of time

[tight crest]

A lot of his stuff could actually also have to do with forging

[crude musk]

ye!

[wind oar]

Hades modding when

[tight crest]

He could probably be designed to be strong against armored enemies

[crude musk]

he could have passives that increase damage over a period of time

[wind oar]

Let's talk duos

[tight crest]

Frostburn with Demeter could be really cool

[wind oar]

That's what I was thinking

[tight crest]

Zeus could make it so electric effects are way stronger against armor

[crude musk]

aphrodite’s could do extra damage to weak enemies

[wind oar]

Hephaestus and Ares duo

[tight crest]

Doesn't she already have a solo boon with that effect?

[crude musk]

they don’t get a duo bc they’re too busy fighting over aphrodite

[austere jacinth]

Aphro loved a lot of people... Heph was not really one of them xDD

[tight crest]

I've seen this really cool art of how he could look

https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/km56k9/made_some_art_of_what_hephaestus_or_hera_may_have/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[wind oar]

Hephaestus could have a duo with Dio's cast where it's literally a molotov

[austere jacinth]

Aww, he looks too lovely to be Heph. Then again, maybe the 'body standards' for gods are just mean.

[tight crest]

Oh my god yes

[wind oar]

Mod support pls

We need to make this happen

[tight crest]

I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to program right?

Apart from all the lines and stuff

[wind oar]

It would collide with the story

[austere jacinth]

I would miss the lines and the godly interplay. The story and characterisation is my fave part of Hades.

I think you might be able to manage to splice some existing lines to create new stuff though, given how much there is...

[tight crest]

I really hope the game gets some dlc with new gods

[wind oar]

Would be a shame if mods were to never become a thing though.
I'm a conceptualizer, I'm packed with ideas

[crude musk]

supergiant don’t really Do dlc though

[wind oar]

Damn

[tight crest]

Maybe they will with this game since it's such a giant success

[austere jacinth]

Yeah, but they never do Early Access games, or Roguelikes either... at least not prior to Hades.

So you never know.

[crude musk]

true

[tight crest]

Maybe it could just be a free update, who knows

[austere jacinth]

I would definitely pay for more dialogue and characters ❤️

[wind oar]

Same here

[crude musk]

this is the first roguelike i’ve ever enjoyed

[wind oar]

I love roguelikes, though I suppose the ones I've played are technically roguelites

Though I feel the term roguelike doesn't get enough justice

[crude musk]

yeah roguelite is more accurate for this i guess

[brisk trail]

does unlocking new aspects count as investing blood for the hidden aspect?

[crude musk]

i need PROGRESSION

[austere jacinth]

I've never been crazy about them, but I've never avoided them either. Hades is just superlative imo.

[brisk trail]

or do i have to upgrade

[wind oar]

Honestly a normal roguelike sounds boring compared to a roguelite

Because true roguelikes have no permanent upgrades

[crude musk]

yeah that’s why they don’t appeal

[austere jacinth]

I don't mind that, but the progression in Hades was good... especially the story stuff.

[wind oar]

Now if only Rogue had permanent upgrades

[brisk trail]

YES or NO?

[wind oar]

Oh I don't think it does

I don't even know

sorry

I don't know the technicalities of unlocking them

I just did

[brisk trail]

ok

[ivory geode]

unlocking them counts toward it yes

since you’re spending titan blood

[winter harbor]

True roguelikes are based completely on skill, I can see the appeal of that

[crude musk]

bleh no

if i wanted that i’d go waste money at the arcade

[austere jacinth]

I like that... I just like Hades more. 😄

[winter harbor]

laughs in Slay the Spire

I guess you unlock some cards and relics there, but it doesn’t really help your gameplay

[wind oar]

Imagine having no death defiance

[lyric wharf]

^

[short stirrup]

I'm at the point where ||Theseus|| is whining about how his friendship with ||Asterius is over|| and it's hilarious

[lyric wharf]

Lol.

[wind oar]

How do gamepad controls work?

[short stirrup]

oh and ||Igneus Eden|| is fun

[wind oar]

What is the aiming and attacking and all that

I've only used keyboard & mouse cause I like it

[crude musk]

oof i skipped a +46 hp chaos boon to reroll and try to get a fated choice

i did not get the fated choice

[wind oar]

Tsk tsk

[crude musk]

i’m running GUAN YU

it was Several Mistakes

[wind oar]

Foolish

[crude musk]

i need the chaos boon that only shows up after you’ve already got one

[wind oar]

Which one?

[crude musk]

defiance

it is legendary to be fair but p l e a s e

[wind oar]

If you really need it then upgrade the legendary chance mirror talent

[crude musk]

i have that maxed

[wind oar]

Hm

Guess it's just luck then

[crude musk]

now i just need to get lucky and find another chaos gate

[wind oar]

Use the egg if you have to, also the well item that spawns a chaos gate

I forget what it's called

[lyric wharf]

Pretty good.

[wind oar]

Dual stick?

[crude musk]

right stick doesn’t do anything

at least not for me playing on switch

[wind oar]

How do you aim then?

[crude musk]

left stick while you hold the button

[wind oar]

Sounds kind of strange

[crude musk]

which makes aiming as you come out of a dash kind of annoying sometimes

but eh

[wind oar]

To me it would make sense for dual stick preset with triggers and L R buttons as main actions

[crude musk]

L is codex, R is interact

[wind oar]

Why is L the codex

[crude musk]

zl is summon, zr is call

[wind oar]

I'd think that'd be a dpad thing

[crude musk]

a is cast, b is dash, x is special and y is attack

[wind oar]

Hm

I'm sure it makes more sense in action

I have all my attacking related actions on my mouse

[fleet narwhal]

hey uh

is artemis wearing a secondary shoe

i need to know

[wind oar]

What

[fleet narwhal]

i am asking if she wears 2 shoes

[wind oar]

Why do you need to know this?

[fleet narwhal]

for a drawing

[wind oar]

Ah

[fleet narwhal]

this is critical

no pun intended

[wind oar]

Nice pun anyway

I'm not sure about her shoes though

I don't stare at feet

[brisk trail]

wait do i need to have the keepsake rank 3 in order to get the companion?

[wind oar]

Nope

Don't think so anyway

Harpy feather duster would be so much better if it could work multiple times in a room

I've proven that it in fact does not work more than once in a room

[crude musk]

hmm, quick spin or flaring spin for guan yu

i feel like flaring will help more bc of sturdy

or massive spin?? but the heals are flat rather than a % of damage dealt right?

[fleet narwhal]

quick spin is always great for gy

[crude musk]

thx!

[edgy salmon]

is there a way to find the satyr sack quicker? or is it just purely rng

[fresh crest]

rng

[crude musk]

rng

[fresh crest]

it's always after at least 1 room

so never in the first

but other than that good luck

[edgy salmon]

damn i got a pb of 18 minutes but it couldve been so much better if i hadnt found the sack in the very last room -_-

[crude musk]

am i right in assuming chaos gates can’t show up in styx?

[short stirrup]

just beat a run with ||Igneus||

[fleet narwhal]

unless you find a light of ixion (which i have never seen in styx)

[upper mesa]

Yeah, chaos gates can’t show up

[crude musk]

cool thanks

[weary horizon]

Anyone knows why I’m unable to give the last ambrosia to dusa ? Ir’s strange

[tepid pulsar]

I have to say that Hades has probably become one of if not my favorite game of all time

I finally beat the "post-game"

@weary horizon It takes a while but dusa requires more than 1

you will have to collect alot of ambrosia for dusa

[short stirrup]

1,2,3,4 I think

[tepid pulsar]

10

[short stirrup]

in total

❤️❤️❤️❤️
1 2 3 4

[crude musk]

really, game. REALLY. guan yu is the run where i get a 5 sack.

[tepid pulsar]

Guanyu has to the be the worst aspect in the game

is for challenging runs?

[short stirrup]

Guan Yu has it's own style but yeah

[tepid pulsar]

I think is on purpose, I like the attack animations though

[short stirrup]

if you have spin enchants from daedalus it'll help

[tepid pulsar]

Imagine using the spin

wait...really?

[upper mesa]

I think Guan Yu’s special is the thing to use anyway

[weary horizon]

They will patch it maybe

[short stirrup]

life affirm and nourished helps a lot with the health issue

[weary horizon]

Have they announce a major patch or Dlc ?

[tepid pulsar]

I wish they pacth on switch the Heat levels

[upper mesa]

Patch what?

[tepid pulsar]

I just downloaded a new patch just now on the switch

[crude musk]

what is there to patch?

[tepid pulsar]

No idea of what it is for

[rigid mauve]

I had no problem with it, because I did the run once I was strong enough that it wasn't a big deal, 50% less HP is not a problem when you can easily get over 150HP (half of 300) anyway.

[tepid pulsar]

I would like too get this game on PS4 and Double tip again

[upper mesa]

If you mean guan yu, that was the first hidden aspect ever added to the game, and it hasn’t changed much in concept since

[tepid pulsar]

the game is that good to me and 19.99 was a steal

[crude musk]

even at level 2 the hit to hp isn’t too bad

same as that sword hammer

[tepid pulsar]

Guan yu is the most important aspect then? I mean you need it to unlock the sword and then the others right?

[rigid mauve]

You don't need to do a run with it to unlock the other aspects though! I did it last.

[tepid pulsar]

took me 3 weeks to unlock the final shield aspect it was the last one I got, Today

huh?

but guides online say that Guan yu is needed as pre requisite

[crude musk]

you only need to reveal guan yu to get other hidden aspects

[tepid pulsar]

or I am wrong?

[crude musk]

not unlock it w titan blood

[tepid pulsar]

yes thats what I meant

[rigid mauve]

Unlocked, not used, in my experience.

[tepid pulsar]

I meant just reveal it

So I was half right, semantics are important, I guess

So now the end goal is to do a Full heat run?

[rigid mauve]

No, sorry, emma is probably right that you only need it revealed to unveil the other aspects.

[tepid pulsar]

Darn I have only done Heat 10 at max

[crude musk]

artemis attack on guan yu is ridiculous damage

[upper mesa]

I mean, good luck with full, I don’t think that’s been done before

[crude musk]

i’ve only done 9 heat

[tepid pulsar]

Artemis is so good, I can't believe people rank her as a B tier god

[crude musk]

on exagryph, zag aspect and extra ammo hammer? lol bye

[rigid mauve]

I go through the heats methodically, just finished 6 heat with all the weapons, next run I will start 7 heat.

[tepid pulsar]

I have done that

Heat 10 with Sword

[crude musk]

same polaris! tho i’m using whichever one has darker thirst

[short stirrup]

you don't need to unlock

[upper mesa]

I’ve done it like that and now I’m switching to 24 heat runs and eventually 32

[tepid pulsar]

And people complain that doing that is so grindy

lol I played MMORPGS this grind ain't nothing

and is actually fun

Wish grindy games were more like this, unless you hate all the weapons except one

[worldly canyon]

I quite like the grind of this game

Each run does feel slightly different so it's not like sleepwalking to get better stuff

[crude musk]

some GARISH POWER, oh my god, REALLY ||DAD||

anyway the guan yu animations w the leaves are GORGEOUS

[tepid pulsar]

I almost felt sleep

playing hades

[short stirrup]

HOLY CRAP

WOAH

[tepid pulsar]

it was boring Until I saw Extreme measures

Can't play without it

[short stirrup]

I just got a yawn that sounded like a mix between megaera and hypnos when entering zag's bedchambers

[tepid pulsar]

lol

[short stirrup]

and it was L O U D

[tepid pulsar]

I guess you all play On Pc

[short stirrup]

yeah

[tepid pulsar]

so I am the only Switch user?

Not a single crash on this game, not frame drops and it runs so smooth

I thought the special effects would make the game unplayable but turns out I can follow the action just fine in portable mode

[crude musk]

i’m playing on switch!

[tepid pulsar]

IT'S GREAT RIGHT?

I have Spiritfarer on switch and I got 8 crashes

[short stirrup]

i'm being lazy and I'm doing a bunch of suicide runs to bond with a bunch of olympians

[crude musk]

it is!!

[tepid pulsar]

I did the bonding without suicide

Ilike having my Streak going up

[crude musk]

spiritfarer made me cry like a baby omg

[tepid pulsar]

Spirit farer was cute

but didn't make me cry

I guess losing all my grandmas have kill me inside

[crude musk]

i cry a lot at fiction

[tepid pulsar]

I just wanted a harvest moon replacement

and I got it

I have to confess something

This is the only supergiant game that I have liked

[rigid mauve]

I also did the bonds without suicide since I had to try to reach ||Patroclus|| to do that sidequest too.

Also after a 43 streak I'm still seeing new dialogue and flavour text every time with ||Theseus, Hades and 'taken by the Styx' deaths.||

I'm trying to think whether liking Hades means you'll like the other Supergiant games. Bastion and Transistor's combat have aspects that ended up in Hades. Transistor's combat has some unique aspects I loved, but I'm not sure if they are for everyone. But ultimately, I think you would like them! @tepid pulsar

[tepid pulsar]

I said it because I have play then

[pearl saddle]

Is there anyway to get more DD during Styx?

[crude musk]

luck

[rigid mauve]

Ah, I interpreted "have like" as "have, like" rather than "have liked" XD

[crude musk]

athena has two? boons that improve dd and restore one

if you’re lucky you’ll get touch of styx from a well of charon in a chamber

[tepid pulsar]

Grammar is still hard

My grammar is pretty meh both in my native language and english

[rigid mauve]

Your level is impressive for a second language. You're doing great!

[tepid pulsar]

I just finish all my english studies

Final exam tomorrow

I wish my grammar was as good as Hades

[fresh crest]

do people use mouse and keyboard or gamepad more?
Cause I've done all my runs on pc, but just found a controller and was gonna give it a shot incase I buy it on switch as well

[tepid pulsar]

Playing on switch is comfortable

At least for me

I thought It was going to be uncomfortable or annoying, but nope, is great

[fresh crest]

nice
Do you have aim assist on? I turn it off for my mouse but thinking I'll turn it back on for a controller

[acoustic plank]

Yes, aim assist works great with a controller

[fresh crest]

nice I'll give it a shot 🙂

[acoustic plank]

KBM gives you more control over aiming and less over movement, controller is reverse.

[fresh crest]

is there anything that's commonly gets rebound on a controller?

[acoustic plank]

Reload

[fresh crest]

yeahhh I saw that was on the stick 😂

[acoustic plank]

I dont know what the dash button is originally but I have it set to left trigger

[crude musk]

TWICE my approval process has blocked me getting a 14 shot special w chiron

dash is b on the switch!

[fresh crest]

it's actually on A for me (bottom one cause got an xbox controller for my pc)

yeah

would be the same

[lyric wharf]

Rebinded you mean ?

[acoustic plank]

A lot of people set dash to one of the shoulder buttons.

[fresh crest]

uhh yeah I guess aha

[lyric wharf]

I'm fine with B for dash on Switch.

[acoustic plank]

I need my special/attack/cast all right next to each other, x a b

[fresh crest]

yeah I was thinking about changing my special and cast, so if I dash with b, the special isn't on the other side of the pad cause there is a fists aspect I think that you need to dash special

anyway I'm gonna do that and try it
wish me luck doing my first controller run haha

[sour sky]

Laser gun op

[acoustic plank]

Glhf

[pseudo halo]

This is like saying "I was so bored of playing on easy mode until I saw hard mode"

Like no duh

But I know you won't play EM with boosted HP

C o w a r d

Love you too

[lyric wharf]

On Switch ?

[acoustic plank]

Controller on PC

Its the bottom 3 buttons

[lyric wharf]

Oh so Xbox controller.

[acoustic plank]

Kind of? That's the button layout. I use a SNES clone controller

[lyric wharf]

Oh I see, nice.

I like the Switch default control.

Many games usually have Y for normal attack and B for dash.

I'm used to those controls.

[brisk trail]

Do bosses count as armoured opponents when it comes to hammer upgrades?

[median schooner]

If they have armor, yes.

Just the Bone Hydra, I think.

[fleet narwhal]

hollow knight has taught us well

though im scared to remap my buttons at this point

but already shifted reload to L stick and it works great

[hearty bramble]

no hades mem e channel...

[hasty lantern]

I..just joined and I have only one thing to say~

this sticker

And hello everyone! I'm glad that Hades brought such a big community together I'm happy to chat with other fans :D

[austere jacinth]

Hades is ❤️

[hearty bramble]

can...we have hades meme channel

[manic bobcat]

If you have meme you can put in #fan-works I think

If it's a short joke just put it here

[hearty bramble]

ooo thamk u

[ivory geode]

splatoon au thanatos is a vampire squid

i love those lil dudes. theyre neither vampires nor squids but theyre still called that!!

[hidden moon]

Hey left field question, is there a ref photo of Theseus that isn't cropped?

[ivory geode]

i don't think so, i think you'll just have to use his in-game sprite/model and do your best

[prisma wind]

You mean aside from the portrait during dialog? Yeah, don't think there is anything

Jen might have something if you want to try asking her on Twitter?

[hidden moon]

Yeah I mean that's a good idea.

Thankyou!!

[ivory geode]

i think it would be fun if more shades would cheer for/have banners for zagreus the more times you defeat theseus + asterius but also the one (1) shade is so cute.......

[ornate bear]

house contractor work order: arena advertisement - more shades cheer for you

[fleet narwhal]

fan shade

[hasty lantern]

That'd be awesome imo

[fleet narwhal]

eventually the entire arena is red and theseus get really pissed

or maybe the colors alter depending on if you lost or won last round

[ornate bear]

and then one encounter he just doesn't show up because he's so upset

but then Asterius cheers him up by next time

[fleet narwhal]

bahahah yes

[austere jacinth]

Aww. Poor, insecure Theseus. xD

[lyric wharf]

I wanted to rebind reload to another button at first but I didn't find it and thought we couldn't, recently I found out we can but I'm fine with the default button now.

[acoustic plank]

Plot twist, your shade is actually rooting for Theseus but is blind

[lyric wharf]

After playing railgun for sometime and playing back with other weapons I kept the habit to press the reload button in between attacks lol.

Just for a bit tho.

[coral pilot]

Is there a ‘standard’ heat setting for speed running?

[brazen lagoon]

EM2, FO1/2

[brazen lagoon]

also you need to ||spoiler heat||

[lyric wharf]

I dont think it really matters, there are different categories runs.

[coral pilot]

Spoiler that in general discussion?

[brazen lagoon]

yes

no spoilers post final boss

[quiet mason]

thank you for whoever made these lovely emojis

[scenic stream]

How high can Malphon's dodge chance get ?

[brazen lagoon]

15%

[scenic stream]

Not bad at all, combined with Hermes

[brazen lagoon]

yeah

get that plus the call boon and youre set

and the dodge boon as well

[scenic stream]

Then again

I wonder how high I can crank up the aspect of Chiron

On the bow

[brazen lagoon]

8 special shots

[scenic stream]

Brub

Good stuff, damn

Wait does each arrow count as an individual attack ? For Artemis' arrow followup boon

[brazen lagoon]

i think so yeah

[scenic stream]

Hehe

YES I STARTED WITH A HAMMER

And it has concentrated volley

[brazen lagoon]

pog

[lyric wharf]

Whose call ?

[brazen lagoon]

hermes' call boon

the one that gives you movement speed and dodge chance after call

[lyric wharf]

I see.

What's the max possible dodge btw ?

[brazen lagoon]

i think 115% maybe

[acoustic plank]

Over 100%

[lyric wharf]

On a scale of 0-100% what are the chances to actually get hit with this ?

[brazen lagoon]

-15%

the enemies actually hit themselves

[lyric wharf]

That's how dodge works ?

So 115% = 85% chance to dodge right ?

I guessed there wouldn't be a way to dodge everything through dodge chance and guessed it'd cap before 100% but the calculation works differently.

[brisk trail]

Would Hermès be the patron god of speed runners?

[brazen lagoon]

yes

[fast axle]

any idea why my aspect of Gilgamesh is not doing the displayed maim damage?

[lyric wharf]

Do you mean it was a joke or.

[upper mesa]

Absolutely

[fast axle]

maim does 244 damage for me, but it says is should be doing 325

level 4 btw

pics as proof

wait link did not work

lol

there we go

[graceful flicker]

Heyy I'm about to enter the temple on ||9 minute Heat challenge|| and I was wondering, how does it work with the temple rooms? Am I just hoping to get lucky and nail it early? Is the main room at least a pause area?

[fast axle]

yes, you are just hoping to get it early, no, the main room is not a pause area, and miniboss rooms are usually faster than standard rooms

hope that helps!

[graceful flicker]

That does help thx

[upper mesa]

So for some reason your maim damage is reduced by 25%? I haven’t noticed anything like that myself

[fast axle]

yeah its wierd

if i put on high confidence everthing is fine

[graceful flicker]

Okay then is part of the ||9 minute Heat strat|| to usually pick shops and other neutral rooms?

[fast axle]

yeah, thats how speedruns are normally done

[winter harbor]

Chaos is good too

You want basically free rooms

But at 9 minutes each zone, you don't have to worry too much yet

[fast axle]

wdym by ||9 minute heat strat?|| just TD1? or is it just a sub-9 minute run?

[lyric wharf]

I'm gonna try a cast build with Stygian Soul, I usually run with Infernal Soul.

[fast axle]

yeah those are more rng dependent, but can get even crazier

[lyric wharf]

Yeah I'll see how it goes.

[upper mesa]

||TD1|| doesn’t take much effort, especially since spare time is held over

[fast axle]

make sure you get chaos bonus casts and / or arti legendary

[lyric wharf]

Yeah but it helps to build up your speed to start with.

Yeah I'm gonna reroll Chaos casts.

Hera bow Crush Shot.

Epic Crush Shot from the start, awesome, I'm running ||20 heats|| btw.

No luck with first Chaos rerolls.

I found one on my second Chaos nice.

I had to reroll once.

Eurydice turned my Crush Shot to Heroic, awesome.

Does people also buy limited buff item for more bloodstones with Stygian Soul ?

[fleet narwhal]

prometheus stone? i only usually take it if im doing a dedicated cast run

[lyric wharf]

Dedicated cast build yeah.

[novel wasp]

Kidney stone is good

I just take it whenever i have a cast mod

i mean with stygian extra cast is bringing P A I N

[lyric wharf]

I usually don't buy buff items but those might come in handy during high heat runs, even if limited it might help a lot to clear rooms faster and easier.

[topaz yew]

ayo

[lyric wharf]

Hi.

[topaz yew]

||Lambent Pume is so good||

[lyric wharf]

No need to spoiler this.

[topaz yew]

really?

[ornate bear]

you only need to spoil things from the final boss and onwards

[novel wasp]

||final boss||

[green dune]

lambent is hard i can't go that fast

[novel wasp]

haha

feather goes nyoom

[topaz yew]

i got it to 20% and I have ultra instinct all of a sudden

[scenic stream]

Wait how do you get ||Artemis' locked heart 😳||

[novel wasp]

I have 30% + 3 dash + movement speed + dash movement bonus

I N Y O O O O O O O O O OM

[topaz yew]

Get Rush Delivery

[novel wasp]

Do you mean

Rush B

[topaz yew]

i think?

[lyric wharf]

I thought that going with ||JS2|| would make me run out of time with ||TD2|| but after all I had 6 minutes left when I went to fight ||Hades||.

For a first Stygian Soul cast build run I gotta say it was nice, I had 2 stones only but it saves a lot of time to not worry about recollecting them on the ground and instead focus on fighting enemies.

[noble hinge]

Pretty sure you just talk to her a bunch

[scenic stream]

Does using arrowhead and committing mass suicide on the first room count ?

[noble hinge]

Not sure tbh

[green dune]

yeah, that works, but no reason to rush it

[lyric wharf]

Just play the game, a lot of things will come naturally unless you just want to 100% the game and stop playing.

I haven't used Athena for a while until recently and I gotta say her call is amazing against ||EM4 Hades||, I can just focus on attacking instead of avoiding some attacks.

[graceful flicker]

The fact that upgrading her call gives you more time too is pretty nuts

[lyric wharf]

Try to ask in #h1-story-discussion

[brazen root]

Sorry

[lyric wharf]

Oh that's awesome.

[lyric wharf]

No need to be sorry.

Also using non greater call is good too to avoid short attacks such as ||Cerberus call from Hades.||

[graceful flicker]

Which gods give/boost resources? Poseidon? Any others?

I think ||Demeter|| does too

[green dune]

depends what you mean

[lyric wharf]

Athena can give you back DD uses.

If that counts.

[graceful flicker]

Yeah the greater calls can be a trap because of boss invuln states

[lyric wharf]

Unless you just mean artifacts.

[graceful flicker]

I mean darkness, gems

Like poseidon has bounty

[green dune]

darkness and gems is only posidon

also Chaos has a boon to boost

if that counts

[graceful flicker]

Doesn't the hidden one boost what you collect? Like +33 more per run?

Ooh yeah chaos yeah that's the one

Thx

[lyric wharf]

I can consistently do perfect shot with bow now that's awesome, it takes time to get used to.

Also I just noticed it does a different animation when hitting enemies with perfect shot.

[graceful flicker]

Does ||heat|| increase rewards?

[lyric wharf]

No, you just get the bounties again.

[green dune]

just refreshes bounties @graceful flicker

[pearl saddle]

Can you get extra DD in Styx?

Help

[lyric wharf]

Like restore one use ?

[pearl saddle]

Yeah

I only have 4 DD

I'm scared I'll lose one in the tunnels

[lyric wharf]

If you find a Charon's well yes.

[pearl saddle]

No other way?

[lyric wharf]

If you're lucky enough to find it in the well btw, you can reroll it as well with Fated Persuasion.

Athena and another god boons can restore DD uses.

Is it your first time reaching the Styx ?

[pearl saddle]

No, it's my 3rd

I'm hoping I beat ||Hades||This time

[fresh crest]

4 DD is loads

thought you could only have 4 actually

[fleet narwhal]

4 dd is a ton

tooth+ chaos is 2 more plus 3

[pearl saddle]

Chaos?

Ohhh Chaos

I never use Chaos

[fleet narwhal]

legendary chaos boon that gives a dd

chaos is very useful

use it

[fresh crest]

Oh I think I've had that only once

[pearl saddle]

I don't like sacrificing health

[fleet narwhal]

you can earn it back

[fresh crest]

yeah I use chaos as long as it's not close to a boss fight

[fleet narwhal]

youre going to take damage anyways so why not use it for something good

[pearl saddle]

Why is there no poison boon?

[fleet narwhal]

and if you dont like sacrificing health use the chaos egg

wdym poison

hangover is kinda like poison

[pearl saddle]

Oh yeah

forgot about that

even though my whole build is Trippy Flare

[fleet narwhal]

trippy flare doesnt inflict hangover

[topaz yew]

Ayo

[pearl saddle]

Really?

[topaz yew]

why the hidden sword

so broken

[pearl saddle]

Hidden sword?

[topaz yew]

youll find out soon

just keep playing

[fresh crest]

it's so fun right?

[pearl saddle]

I like projectile weapons tho so I prob wont like it

[lyric wharf]

@pearl saddle Chaos boons helps a lot tho you should consider them.

[pearl saddle]

Yeah I'll try next escape

Can you help with a desicion

[fleet narwhal]

200 base damage for third strike 😩

though i had around the same speed completing the game with it as any other aspect

[pearl saddle]

Either, go fight the final boss with 4 DD full health but low level boons with good combos, or go and do a Pom of Power Tunnel and potentially lose health

[lyric wharf]

Don't risk it.

[fleet narwhal]

generally dont get more tunnels than you need to

[lyric wharf]

Only do it if you're confident enough.

[pearl saddle]

So go fight ||Hades||?

[fresh crest]

pom isn't worth the risk I think

[manic bobcat]

^

[pearl saddle]

Most of my boons are level 1

[manic bobcat]

pog is almost never worth it that late in to the game

pom but im leaving that typo

[lyric wharf]

If its a god boon you might need for a build then why not but only if you're good enough at Styx tunnels.

[fresh crest]

yeah it's okay when picking between doors or in a shop, but I wouldn't risk losing a DD for it

[coral pilot]

Most books are worth adding one level to IMO, but pretty quick diminishing returns after that

[fleet narwhal]

pog is always worth it late game ;)

[coral pilot]

What’s pog?

[pearl saddle]

Pom

its a type

you see

[fresh crest]

ahahah

[coral pilot]

lol ahh;)

[lyric wharf]

Yeah I find that one lvl increases the effect a lot but afterwards not as much.

[fleet narwhal]

a pogagranate

[pearl saddle]

Go or get it?

[manic bobcat]

Pog was common but now extinct Twitch emote.

[pearl saddle]

It's not a miniboss tunnel

[fleet narwhal]

||hades||

[manic bobcat]

G*mers hunted Pog to death

[fleet narwhal]

overconsumption of pog led to declining populations

[ornate bear]

It's pog's own fault for that

[pearl saddle]

If you guys tell me to fight ||Hades|| then I'll go but can you help with the fight?

[fleet narwhal]

how are we supposed to help with the fight

[pearl saddle]

I dunno

what should I avoid

[fleet narwhal]

getting hit

[manic bobcat]

we are here for moral support

[pearl saddle]

Welp, here I go!

[manic bobcat]

don't get hit, hit back, win game

ez

[midnight bay]

A drink made with passion fruit, orange, and guava

[pearl saddle]

EZ

[fresh crest]

Tried a controller for the first time, was really comfy

[midnight bay]

Also a stupid piece of cardboard people collected in the 90s I think

[fleet narwhal]

controllers are great

[manic bobcat]

true that, Pog, i suppose, was never meant to be a lasting species.

[lyric wharf]

The more you'll fight ||Hades||, the better you'll get at it, not everyone will beat him at their first try.

[pearl saddle]

I'm playing on switch

[versed verge]

pogchamp is slur in twitch's eyes. Just like simp and virgin

[fresh crest]

yeah, makes me wanna get it on my switch now 🤔

[fleet narwhal]

literally no one has beaten the final boss on their first try

[lyric wharf]

This is fine.

[fresh crest]

my friend almost did and I'm sooo glad he didn't 😭

[midnight bay]

Eh someone probably has, but most won’t. He’s a tricky fight but you get much better at it after the first few tries

[fleet narwhal]

playing it on switch, the joycons are perfect for my small hands

[ornate bear]

I'm sure there's a few people who managed it - there's always insane gamers out there

[fresh crest]

I'm using a pro controller cause I just found out today that you can connect them to steam :v

[pearl saddle]

I don't know why we have to spoiler mark ||Hades|| it seems pretty obvious that they're the final boss

[fresh crest]

there's a nice setting for it and everything

[lyric wharf]

@manic bobcat Lmao nice reaction.

[toxic temple]

who do i thank for the server invite? 😛 it came out of nowhere

[fleet narwhal]

||hey guys did you know that some guy named dead cells is the final boss of dead cells||

[pearl saddle]

WHOA

WOW I DONT BELIEVE IT

[fresh crest]

you did it???

[pearl saddle]

No

[fresh crest]

:'v

[pearl saddle]

Im reacting to @fleet narwhal

[fresh crest]

yeah I realised aha

[fleet narwhal]

highly suggest you play hades instead of conversing with us

[pearl saddle]

How the heck would I beat it in like 5 minutes

[lyric wharf]

I forgot to pause my game while typing here, losing time from ||TD2||, but this is fine.

[fleet narwhal]

this is fine

[fleet narwhal]

5 minutes is pretty reasonable provided you have a good build

[pearl saddle]

I frequently pause in the ||first phase|| and take breaks so I don't mess up. But that changes in the ||second phase||.

[lyric wharf]

@manic bobcat I've been waiting for the occasion to tell you that because of your pfp lol.

[manic bobcat]

How does that change ||the second phase||?

[graceful flicker]

Does getting +attack damage from a boon usually affect dash. Strikes?

[manic bobcat]

yes

[south tapir]

Hi! I failed my 30 try😅

[pearl saddle]

Cuz you need to stay in the flow to beat the ||second phase|| one try to be calm and you're dead

[south tapir]

I cant beat Aid

[pearl saddle]

Aid?

[lyric wharf]

I pause sometimes during the final battle because sweating hands.

[fresh crest]

^ relatable

[pearl saddle]

Also that

[south tapir]

I mean Hades

[pearl saddle]

Uhh

[south tapir]

Sorry i dont know how

[pearl saddle]

[fresh crest]

| | put two of those on each side of your message

[lyric wharf]

|| left and right of what you wanna hide.

2 on each side.

[fresh crest]

||hide this||

[south tapir]

Thx

[fresh crest]

like that

[pearl saddle]

I dont know which message to repeat in my mind "You can do it" or "YOU CANT DO IT OH GODS HELP ME"

[south tapir]

Lol

[lyric wharf]

Hades soundtrack is so good.

[pearl saddle]

everything that Zagreus says just feels so relatable, when you lose a death defiance he says "Ugh, no!"

[south tapir]

The music is as always on top as well as the voice acting

[south tapir]

Just another death nothing special

[manic bobcat]

Relatable because I die inside everyday 😔

[south tapir]

Well that's life, you get some you lose some

[pearl saddle]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HE ONLY HAD LIKE 5%

[fresh crest]

And in hades it’s mostly losing some 😭

[pearl saddle]

AND I HAD ARTEMIS GREATER CALL

WHY THE HECK DIDNT I USE IT
