Yeah, and I know i'm gonna need to fulfil that prophecy at some point, but man do i not want to use that aspect
pun not intended
Max as 20 ?
i love ||excalibur||
I love it too.
I cannot play without nemisis now
yeah
Nice
when you go into the shop, see a fishing spot, and ignore it-
my worst weapon is probably spear
i need to stop doing that this run, i got the boon even ffs smh
mines bow without doupt
mine are both the ranged ones
In term of how much I enjoy the hidden aspects, Sword > Bow > Railgun > Spear > Shield > Fists.
I like all of them tho.
even ||guan yu||
I'm not really into hidden fists tho but I just started to try it.
Yes, btw spoiler it.
k
When I tried out hidden spear for the first time, I finished that run, at lvl 1 btw.
ok
huh
Artemis call ?
Nice, I also did that much with regular attacks with hidden sword.
I still like hidden fists tho.
I finally finished a run with all the weapons! And surprisingly unlocked two aspects which was nice.
Also. I DIDNT KNOW WE CAN FIGHT || CHARON. THE SELLER!!!|| That was cool
The fists does so much damage
The first time I did it, I was so surprised I died nearly immediately
And I haven't tried since
Hahahahas took two death defied. I don’t think imma survive this run unless I get lucky with death defied
better hope you see pat
||his attacks are pretty easy to dodge, but just get hit by one pixel and you'll get hit like a truck. his wide swings and projectiles are annoying like that||
kinda wanna try nemesis and boost my attack way up now
maybe using hoarding slash
Ive tried hoarding slash with golden touch and side hustle
How was it ?
Reached ens with 2k gold
What about the damage ?
Was hitting 300 per hit i think
holy moly
Sounds pretty good.
Yeah.
It was really tempting to spend money for the extra titan blood at the end too
I had crazy runs too with big chop nemesis
Doing back stab crits with 1k damage

CC ?
chthonic companions
I see.
asphodel :)
where can i find stuff such as the hammer and the pom of power in the codex?
i cant see it
no opinion on that Bass???
doesnt seem to be in the codex :o
was it not there before 1.0?
pretty sure every song has some form of bass, asphodel bass does go pretty hard but i enjoy the exalted’s bass most

I hate elysium
oh in general i totally get
carts?
armored archers 
Armoured shields are worse
Fighting teleporting Butterfly thing with Beowulf shield is just sad
And they have the transistor cell effect too
Well can't relate because I always prioritise athena dash
shields are annoying but generally status effects like hangover and doom get the job done
Sounds about right
I never use athena dash except for that Athena + Ares duo tbh
i like Poise dash more
What's poise dash
poseidon dash?
im looking at the wiki for the codex
Rather than safe distancing the dash
under artifacts im supposed to have so much more than what i do have
is there supposed to be another codex upgrade from the contractor?
there might be a little arrow at the bottom of the list of stuff
What is cc
ahhh
i think its like stun lock
crowd control
Oh ok
wait no darkness, or bloodstones or gems?
i dmd you a screenshot
aight
Love the purple clouds of pain
just checking - for the prophecy where you slay minibosses, does the dire snakestone appear randomly in the minboss doors in styx?
i just can't seem to find that one minboss lol
I was 1% off for the "get 30% bonus damage with Thanatos's butterfly" achievement 
Yep
Np
Before I type out a major spoiler question, do I have to put 2 ||'s or just one on each side of it?
Two
Oki thanks
|| like this ||
||yeah like this||
||skelly just gave me the quest to kill him with zag sword, does he really not come back after?||
||You'll have to find out||
Well I dont want to ||lose my training dummy, so I kinda need to know whether or not I should||
||he does come back||
boooo
Oh well
Every other character should be removed and it should only be skelly
welp, im doing a doom ||quan yu|| run ngl, going good so far
“I sure hope I don’t die and drop all this loot!”
||-Skelly after being summoned||
lol
“Your mama presses olive oil!”
||-Skelly after Theseus is defeated||
Question
When I have 1 lost death defiance
Should I get premium kiss or recover 30% per chamber
At 1 health
how many DD do you still have
if you still have 2 pick hp regen
you can always get another from athena or well of charon
well a DD is 50% health, but hp regen can potentially be worth 150% over 5 chambers
if you lost a DD well of charon has a very high chance of offering one for 200 coins
and you will have multiple wells from post Elysium and styx mini chambers
Is Flurry Cast with Festive Fog Bomb good
I have 890 gold and trying to get diamond or Titan blood
what's flurry cast
i wouldn't say it's a good combo
For diamond or Titan blood
but im not that great at the game haha
I've only made it to ||hades|| like 3 times
you can easily get 200 coins from a styx tunnel
yall i just got a legendary and a duo back to back with ap2

athena being hella generous
||>perfect catch! 
bass
||
The big boss is now mine
Now I just need to figure out how to beat him with melee weapons
@runic parrot ||surface fish|| are spoilers in this channel as an fyi 
Why is fish so rare
You speak like someone who hasn't gotten the poseidon legendary
unpopular opinion, divine protection should block chaos
What is Poseidon legendary
whats funny about this thats the easiest legendary to get, since is scripted
yeah
one of them adds +20% chance for fishing spots in all chambers
i was really surprised when i got that lol
cause i was using the owl pendant
and the first boon i got was poseidon
yeah is a scripted run
and it eliminates the chamber from the last fish spot requirement
Man
Even after beating the boss, I realize 2/3 of my weapons haven’t gotten Ambrosia yet
whats that
so
everytime you fish, you need to clear like 10 chambers i believe, before another fish can spawn
not sure if the exact number is 10
but theres a minimum
oh damn
Bruh
stagger the hell out of the enemy
How do you use the sword well
just dont get hit 4Head
you know, i've actually never won with most sword aspects apart from poseidon
and i only use casts on poseidon
just hit em
it's fun
the ultimate strategy is space + m1 + q

The swords are probably the most difficult weapon set to use, especially as you increase the heat from the Pact of Punishment. The reason is probably because the optimal way to use the sword -- DASH STRIKES -- is not intuitive. Dash-striking not only increases your damage potential but offers huge defensive benefits as well. In this video, I wa...
and repeat
dash strike is your best friend
hey for all of you who use KBM, do you keep your keybinds on the default setting?
yes
also there's like a thing for sword where if you dash during an animation for example pressing special and then dashing you can do specials much more safer.
I put right click for special
i couldnt stand special on q, i moved it to mb2 and moved cast to lshift
special on q, cast on m2, dash on mb4
however it eliminates iframe from the dash
yeah, me as well. with what limited mobility i have with WASD i dont want to relegate my ring finger to press q
so use with caution
i’m in too deep to change it
it's safer as in you get have more mobility, but you'd be sacrificing the invincibility
played this game for 50+ minutes, feels like a pro
hell yeah
you're far away from the enemy, then as soon as you're on the enemy's face you fire off the special
you’ve probably played it the longest out of anyone
that way its safer.
exactly as i thought kek
i hit 49 minutes and now steam says i’m not allowed to play anymore
you cut time a little bit
but to be honest now... i really played for slighty above 50 minutes.. its a good game but kinda overrated with all these positive reviews and hype
its basically refreshed bastion with dead cells mechanics
no more no less
Story
^
People love it for the story
50 minutes isnt even touching the surface
And the gameplay is sturdy enough to support and complement the game
It’s not the apex of rogue like
it never tries to be the best roguelike
yeah i’m actually surprised i haven’t burned out on this game yet
it's entirely a thing of its own
i usually do super quickly
But it has the depth of rogue like paired with Super giant’s flourish to make it more palatable to common people
is it something super new? not really
It DOES succeed in being new
but the way it blends genres and how everything just clicks, is something very rarely seen in the industry
By being one of the only, and best story rogue like
Some would say it’s the best greek god themed rouge-lite
It IS unfortunate
That a great story and aesthetic cannot save a niche game
and the story justifies the roguelike
Hence... Pyre
maybe i had too high expectations due to hype about this game... which ended bad for me.
tho i have other beloved games currently (and right here i just i mean games i play most of time recently) but ima move it to #off-topic-discussion or #video-games ? which one should i go
Sad
both works
Who knew expectations ruin things. In other news, water is wet
#video-games probably is your best bet 
already used #off-topic-discussion tho
im not into talking exactly about games just wrote about games titles, so neutral offtopic 👀
ill back to hades at some point...
just like i have to back to skyrim lol.. (still didnt finish this game lmao)
say i have an athena boon, which i then purge, would that have a chance of removing her from the god pool or no?
ay, ||patty|| mvp
👀
purging does not remove a god from the god pool, or the 4 core + hermes limit
say if you already have picked boons from 4 gods, with 1 from athena, purging said athena boon will not release her spot for another god, you still have to force a 5th with keepsake
is there a set build that speed runners try to go for?
yeah that's what i thought. cheers.
i’m sure there must be a certain build that’s suited for their task
FINALLY I DISCOVERED THE SAUCE
it's basically down to weapons
cast aspects are in general considered very strong
unlucky
achilles spear, hera bow, hidden shields
followed by pure attack damage ones like hidden spear, hidden sword and eris rail
there is no set build really, but merciful end fists, hidden shield, hera/chiron bow etc are preferred
demeter fist is also a strong contender
eris rail is also a big one
these are all weapon aspects, except for merciful end, which is a duo boon provided by ares and athena
I cant select ||a certain song on the chamber music page, it won't let me move the selection option past the first 2 songs||
for any ||heat|| or 3 weapons the majority of aspects are viable
Pls help
if youre planning to get into speedrunning, i highly recommend watching wriste's video on it. @weak hearth you can search it up on youtube, titled "Speedrunning basics in hades"
ty a lot
im looking at reddit discussions and i see merciful end at the bottom for nearly every list
which makes no sense to me as due to it i got my fastest clear yet
reddit isnt exactly the best place for hades guides id say
i see
is there generally a duo boon thats considered the best
or is it just up to ur build so far
speedrun.com, or videos on youtube by people like haelian, wriste, tailesque etc are better
depends on your build
heartrend, hunting blades, merciful end, scintillating feast are among the best
but then again, the game is well balanced enough so that you can make literally anything work
can u recommend a duo boon that pairs along with ares? imo his boons fit my playstyle very well
and yeah i agree
youve already experienced the best of ares' duo boons, which is merciful end
also, you can check your codex for boons
and their requirements
hunting blades (if you going a blade rift build)
hunting blades+achilles spear is very fun
hunting blades is a cast duo boon right?
i should try that, i never really optimize my cast
merciful end is a great duo on things like zeus shield, fists, zag sword and there's probably a few more where it's good
yeah so typically i get divine flourish and divine dash
and then merciful end does a boatload of dmg and athenas boons make u invincible
so then its ggez
but any other build and i get pooped on lmao
i have touches of styx that lets me SD into 80% of my original health... heres hoping i get a 2 sack
hunting blades build is one of the strongest in the game
get a few hits in, dash out
Should I be in a rush to get the 4 contractor resource upgrade
Gem - nectar - key - darkness
Or the Erebus
I'd personally go the resource upgrades before ||erebus||
I’m debating whether to save coins for the final buy
Or to spend them to clear the boss without any punishment
Which I’m having troubles with using close range weapons
Won only twice
in the order of, darkness, nectar, gem, key (again my personal preference)
ayy that's pretty good going 2 wins is still 2 wins 
At least I can now consistently dunk on everyone else at no heat, and the squad +1
Slowly but surely
I got erebus first and have not gone through a single gate
So yeah do the others first
the best feature about ||erebus|| is ||the onions
|| I guess the ||getting better stuff ||is pretty cool too
do you have a weapon(s) you like particularly?
Range
The choices are: farm obols for the good stuff, clear no heat with everything, clear higher heat no final boss (+1-2)
you can push heat with those weapons if you find that fun whilst doing no heat runs with the other weapons in between ^_^
as you'll get resources (specifically the rare ones) faster now you've done first clears, purely because you have access to the ||pact of punishment||
so your best bet is to do what you find fun really
there's no "best" way to get the most out of Hades
for me, I ended up playing almost primarily fists for the longest time before switching up weapons 😂
but I'm also in the vast minority in that
ok ngl i did that exact same thing
lmao i just played fists for 10 consecutive runs, then used sword once for a change and got my first clear 
My fist got the highest kill count thanks to darkness
My bow got an expensive ass aspect
And my gun cleared the game, twice
Shotgun wine rocket is whack
One Chop Critical Backstab sword almost got it, but oof
clear no heat once on each weapon
then start to work up the ladder as you wish
preferrably find one aspect from each weapon you like the most
I'm surpised I did one with bow once I got flurry shot
flurry is fantastic with chiron
should I upgrade fated persuasion to 1 point, or should i get god's pride from 10% to 20%?
i have maxed god's legacy, but i switch between the 2 depending on the run
grind more darkness so you can get best of both worlds
ok fair
@tender fjord if youve maxed god's legacy, but still want to go god's pride from time to time, id recommend putting darkness into fated persuasion and then resetting your mirror using keys each time you want to switch to god's pride
yw!
what do i need to do to unlock sculpture, heroic and the fountain in the west hall?
got the line from dionysus that says that thanatos guy brings down the vibe at parties and makes the mood kinda eehhhh

oh he's still a great guy he's just a bit introverted
Man, it’s gonna be hard playing every weapon up to 20 heat
That’s the limit right? And 32 for achievement
honestly i just want to see him interact with the olympians
Family Favorite or Privileged Status?
depends on your build really @flat halo, if youre going for a build that can easily trigger privileged status, then go for it. if not, then go for ff
Foresight
1.6k darkness, having just unlocked those
And I’m at the level of beating final boss sometimes with range
Not yet with melee
It's always foresight.
id actually recommend going olympian favor if you're still farming currencies such as darkness nectar etc
once youve finished with that, instantly switch to foresight
Don't do that
Foresight helps you win runs, which means more rewards for clearing.
these outweigh any currency you gain from regular rooms
not if you havent unlocked the ||vanquisher's keep|| though
for gems, that is
again, thats for darkness only
I got Keep
What of nectar then
nectar isnt a problem once you get a healthy stack of keys and gems
yeah you can exchange stuff at the broker
Okay
So Foresight
Privileged versus Favorite?
Currently going for achievements
And clearing everything at 0 heat, then 1 heat, then so on
Is it good enough to last until 20 heat
Sure
lmao i got em3 theseus stuck driving against a pillar. The drops from ||sissyphus summon|| collided with him and pushed him off path
i finally did ||em4|| just so i could listen to ||the unseen ones|| and it's absolutely worth it
??
i do it every run
I made it all the way to elysium with only one upgradeable boon
Is this a bad or good thing
i just took 30 damge while at 100 health and instantly died. okay game sure
this is a real rng moment
each time you apply a stack of hangover take a shot
each time you use trippy shot drink a glass
damn son
when you proc bad influence drink a whole ass bottle
thanatos drinking game: take a shot every time you take damage
screw it, if you get black out throw a feast
that's a good idea, butterfly run, every time you fail in a chamber take a shot
common boons are meh but they're not that bad, nothing a few pomegranates can't help with
I was about to say this applies to plume run
but plume run is way easier
unless with ||jury summons 3||
divine dash is usable at common rarity
grey boons stinky looking
yeah there's boons that's fine being common but
i like colors
you shouldn't even be able to use poms on divine dash
literally nobody uses it for the damage
dash only run 
that's the fun
blade dash runs actually work apparently
Blade and poseidon dash are both completely viable for dash only runs
Zeus would be fine too
sea storm ftw
i think you can do it with zeus too
zeus is nice for bosses
prolly slower than blades and water
jolt is pretty gud
dual bolt and dodge before getting hit and jolt
artemis boons work with nemesis crit right
Yeah
Does the boon that makes life gain effects more potent apply to the life steal of ||guan yu||?
literally same
I switched from the rare mirror to dark foresight
Yeah it should
and all the peepee poopoo colourless boons are so yuck I dont even wanna take them
Lol
even if it does, i don't think it'll amount to much, sinc eit's only a ~30% increase and ||GY only adds +1 health per hit||
I've just beaten ||Charon||
tru
Havent done that yet
that is an amazing feeling
used only 1 DD
epic
How do you fight ||Charon||
||steal from him||
||How do I steal from him||
||There will be a pouch in the store||
||there's a little baggy in one of his mid shops||
it will never show up in the shop before the boss
Oh it has to be a mid shop
and will never show up in styx
Have to meet him in the middle of the zone
||your chance will come after you complete some runs. visit his mid-region store (not the one before the final boss), and there will be a chance there will be a pouch behind him. steal it and get wrecked by his absolutely damaging attacks||
||stealable bag of gold only shows up in mid shop at 1/3 chance||
I'll fight him some time
Tip for the fight: while his attacks hit hella hard, his patterns are fairly predictable, its just a matter of getting used to them
Its really hard
But yeah you just have to remember his moveset
Watch out for the oar slaps
I alays get him on the first shop which so sad because I'm nowehere near ready to fight him at that point
but later noooo just doesn't appear
And try and get athenas dash if you can if you want to fight him
and has a lot of helth
||Although you don't have to take out his full health||
Darkness
i would recommend going darkness-nectar-keys-gems
I would also say get vanquishers keep
The fight with the oarsman is a bit predictable, but he hits super hard and his range is enormous.
I know people suggest divine dash which is actually very nice, but I prefer having extra dashes as well.
You want to be well out of reach when you see an incoming attack.
And you’ll still get wrecked.
like all things in the game, depends on what you like the best
if you like the rail, eris can be a good aspect to focus on
id also recommend trying out and unlocking every aspect before going deep into one specific aspect
you might find that you like an aspect of a weapon that you hated
Yeah whats your favorite weapon
Yes
I can play every weapon
As well as ||lucifer||. Its not great but its hella fu
But I only win with range ones so far
fun
For now, my WINNING play style is long range burst and run
With 1 case of absolute machine gun zap + artillery
Because when I go melee I go yolo and mix in dash and attack to the point of confusion
Haven’t gotten down the sneak attack dynamic of melee yet
With ||lucifer|| what you can do is rebind the attack to zr and you can continously dash around while the damage still ramps
So what ONE aspect would you recommend for rail gun
Eris if you want consistent wins
nemesis is great for crits
if you can get used to the hidden sword's playstyle, it is also great for crits
They're all really good but nemesis for speedruns, poseidon is kinda fun and also good and the hidden is very consistent with big numbers
if youre looking for a cast build, poseidon sword might be the one for you
Im just gonna list my opinions for the best aspect for each weapon
tbh i love all the swords
Sword-||Arthur||
same goes for bow except for zag
Is Fist special good
Dont rely on it
Ah
with 90 dmg?
God’s Legacy or God’s Pride
Completely depends on what build you're trying to do
If your build relies on a duo, go legacy
No build defined
dash upper only does 40
it did hit 6 times though
so it was more damage than regular giga cutter
Demeter fists work insanely well with merciful end
guys i cant get the one fated list thing for beating all minibosses what am i missing
I beat tiny vermin and satyr cultist and seemingly all the rest for the other two underworld sections
how many minibosses are there per section??
Tartarus has 3, Asphodel has 4 (3 different rooms, one of them has 2 enemies that are both listed), Elysium is just 1, and Styx has 4.
wait but doesnt elysium have like 2? cuz the giant soul catcher ?
That's the one
asterius isn’t technically a miniboss
^
oh
so then i guess i finally have to go through the boss doors in styx 
i avoid them at all costs just cuz
they’re not that bad once you get the hang of them
^
Going the boss doors are the best way to get satyr sacks
really?
well
You'll want to learn them for whenever you get stuck with a 4 or 5 sack anyway
kinda
Got thru aspho in 10 minutes
i usually end up getting the stack after the second or third door, very rarely does it take longer than that
they aren’t more likely to have the satyr sack, but they go faster so they’re good for speedrunning
Boss doors are better rewards and arguably easier than normal rooms
oh
?????
Yeah I just take the boss doors when I want to speedrun
would u rather fight butterfly ball or a bunch of flame wheels
Normally only have 1 enemy
hmm
The only crappy mini boss is tiny vermin
butterfly ball
exactly
yeah that was a tough one
Its so freaking annoying
i hate chonky satyr
With companion its easy
vermin stole all my death defies and screwed me over in hades fight last time
F
Especially meg since it attacks instantly
I can never land meg on tiny vermin which makes it so annoying
i caught poseidon commenting on how im going speedy
Okay so important question
thanks uncle for noticing
zag said "piss off" 
so how exactly does the hermes would be jealous work. Ive gotten in like 4-5 times and I dont know what the requirements are
YOOOO
wait until it’s summoning the big rats is the easiest way
ok
you can also drop it as it’s coming out of the ground, but that requires some practice to get the timing right
(HUGE SPOILERS)||Megaera is asking Zagreus to come over to her in his room, with the choices to go to her or ease off. How important is this choice?
It says follow my heart, and I want to say yes.||
i was using hades varatha when i fought tiny vermin and i had the ranged hammer upgrade so it was fairly easy
Thanks that helps
i mean I did it
My main concern is if
||go to her||
||it locks me out of the other relationship routes||
no it does not
it won't
Okay, thanks
||any romantic option has no permanent consequences apart from your relationship (read: the dialogue you get with them) from thereon. go with your heart.||
It’s a video game so zero importance
||there are no negative impacts for either choice, so follow your heart||
The real crime is no skelly romance route 😔
||For me after I did it with meg, a few runs later meg had a hear above her head and it did the same thing over again||. Is this supposed to happen?
||yeah. it’ll happen from time to time now||
ok
oh boy look this channel has become #hades-[REDACTED]-discussion
lmao
My favorite game is probably breath of the wild but hades is a very close second
||0/10, didn’t get to finally play my board game with someone||
why is megara ||smiling|| so... cursed
But that was rather sweet. Thanks for the help.(even if I would’ve picked the affirmative option anyways)
It’s just drawn a bit oddly
stuff like dio/ares cast isnt good with hidden shield since you have to wait a while before getting the bloodstones right?
I only have 40 hours in Hades but I think it's taken the spot of my new favorite roguelite
Also considering she can do that outside ||her route||, I’m not sure it’s technically a spoiler
Everything about it is just so damn good
Not sure what my favorite game of all time is, but I’m pretty sure it’s Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Yeah the only reason BOTW is better for me is bcs I've played it for 3 years, put 100 + hours into it and was like my first "really good" videogame
I still need to play BOTW, problem is it’s a bit of a commitment
Actually, trippy flare is such a big pool of damage, it might be one of the best.
yeah hades has to be top 3 next to titanfall 2 and link to the past for me
so much replayability
BOTW just feels so magical playing
Seriously, play Kid Icarus: Uprising.
I’ve saw a trippy flare build last night that hit for 6k
I think it’s just a me thing that I put it as my favorite of all time.
hmm might give it a shot then
It has like every single thing I love in a video game
The slicing shot is a bit different. It can be good but you want to have some additional boons to modify it.
hunting blades probably
If you can get hunting blades you should be in business.
damnit i do want botw but its 60 bucks
Also Light vs Dark is such an innovative and fun multiplayer mode
does the trippy flare fog last the same as a regular festive fog? or is it shorter like ares's cast is
Add the ||Demeter||duo and legendary and it might as well be a black hole.
||shhhhh||
||That name||
I think it’s the same, but you can also get modifiers that make it worth it.
||No seriously that should be censored||
That one?
||Demeter doesn’t appear until you’ve beaten the game at least once||
||Nope, she pops up once you reach Hades once, you don't have to beat him||
But still.
hmm
||Also I wouldn’t know since I beat it the first time I got to the surface.||
Took me three battles
||Dang, nice job||
Oh no it’s perfectly fine, we all make mistakes~
Took me uh, at least 10
Huehue, thanks~ 
After reaching the surface it took me 3
If it’s any consolation, actually escaping took me 49 attempts.
Also is it just me or is there delay for the cast deployment on ||beowulf||
That's not a consolation, I took 80 lol
Ohhhh
Took me around 35
Sorry.
Took me about 17 years to actually beat final boss
||I actually expected a second form the first time around, and half expected a third||
Awkward
Felt good when I did tho
mood
I just ran around jumping everywhere
lmao
Oh my multiple dash buff from hermes definitely helped
Internally I was panicking hoping not to screw it up
For shields? YES
I had a lot of fun when I got the Duo boon that guarantees epic quality boons
I will have to say
ABSOLUTELY
Bad luck I guess
Because you don’t play with it much?
It’s the weapon with the highest heat
Hermes gave me loads of dashes and I had the Dionysus dash hangover ability, just glided about and let enemies kill themselves
The question mark is because I legitimately don’t know if that’s why
I dont take hermes' extra dash
Hey me too~
since im hardwired to pressing dash twice
I assume it's just bad rng
I guess it’s RNG
I remember half the time I get it to use it, the other time not so much
for some reason i thought dorkness changes to a different weapon every run
Then make like a potato and mash
It should?
yea it should
I've only seen the same weapon get dark thirst twice in a row once
I know it’s a typo, but I’m upset I can’t think of something funny to say.
its not a typo haha
wait i just realized
i say dorkness for funny factor
Cruise, stop, cruise, stop, cruise, stop
dang
Even as a bow user, I still mash to dodge
why do people prefer aphro cast over dio cast for hera bow then
isnt dio cast more damage?
i only press buttons as much as i need to
I have the theme song stuck in my head.
Because you can pick it up quicker
The music for this game is so good.
aphro cast more damage i think
Is it just me or is the cast deployment slow on ||beowulf||?
But you can cycle thru casts quicker with aphro
||tbt I do too, I’m just good at adapting to my new amount of dashes||
Nyx is secretly a dork then?
yes
Yes actually
i just checked the numbers and its not >.>
||She made adorable dolls||
aphro better for spamming i think then
I’d guess it’s the added backstab damage.
||True true||
ah for the smaller mobs that get instagibbed?
Usually I’ll dash in swing then do a tiny charge.
also is there a difference between festive flare and trippy shot
I end up behind 9/10 times.
Aphrodite also has the highest increase to damage of all the attack boons
ya
thats like the only boon of hers i look forward to gettin 
Really?
So maybe this is a well known fact, but if it isn’t I’d say it’s important that people should be aware of this.
She has one that lets weak foes take more damage, that's also worth getting
I almost never take the aphro cast. I just got the extendo on it last run.
i spend more time dodging than spam attacking so
I was having a run and arrived at Elysium with no hammer upgrades, then I came across one. Soon after, I came across another one.
health isnt super duper important to me
I use weak a lot. Just not in cast.
^
gimme divine dash and some dmg ups and im set
So two hammers can appear in Elysium if you haven’t gotten any before
Yeah
It’s not one per region max
You have to get one by then I think
Aphro attack on bow is exquisite
does hammer have a rly high chance of appearing on elysium chamber 1
or is that just me
The cap is still two hammers per run
So if you've missed it till then, it forces two in elysium
maybe? Seems like it
Is gem for decorations
It’s not just you
same with hermes for aspho room 1
Decorations and trading.
And key for nectar and mirror
ive like always gotten a hammer on elysium 1, and if i dont, i reroll and then get it
its interesting
Early game it’s good for trading
^
So after getting mirror, is key for nectar only
Great to get keys then nectar if you're low
rerolls too
rerolls are kinda neat to have sometimes
Slowly, but surely
theyre not like very important but its an option
They are, I like them both
I am capable of beating final boss while buying 1000-1200 item in the last shop
I've saved my runs by rerolling for a boon I want a few times
Anyways, off to do a zero boon run. Seeya~
Good luck
So zero boon run and zero mirror run
i have gotten satyr sack on the second chamber literally every time
i dont know whats happening
Keep 15 keys for limited time offer in shop.
Is mainly for dialogue?
its scaring me
bye
i cannot recall a time where i havent got satyr sack on the second try
There’s dialogue for sitting down. What is there not dialogue for?
settings
||we don’t. But there is dialogue for it. I’m using spoilers so people think there is a sitting side quest.||
||Best sidequest, 10/10, would replay again||
||^^||
lucky
||finding a chair zagreus will actually sit on, fated list quest, 100 titan blood reward||
I have been getting a lot of 4th and 5th room sacks. Not complaining. Love the late fountain.
I tend to get 3 sacks the most
rng has been particularly nice to me lately
ive been cursed with 2nd room sack
So I ask
ive been getting clutch 2 sacks after getting touch of styx dark
i mean im not complaining but the frequency is getting concerning
I wouldn't call that a curse per se
"found it fast this time" yeah, u found it fast every other time
True, good point
how is that a curse lmao
@flat halo general rule is just play. Set goals. Achieve goals. Set new goals.
I’m working on farming blood for aspect upgrades.
im not complaining but it happens literally all the time
u r blessed lol
im tryna keep up a streak so getting the sack early is fantastic cuz i do not want to encounter the tiny vermin
babi verm
2 sacks have like the largest percentage of happening so its normal lol
5 sacks only have like 1.5% chance of happening
that thing is a demon
same 
sigh
i got to ||the second half of the final fight|| ;(
:(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
might wanna spoiler that
what are good hidden rail builds?
super soaker is cool
pos on attack
#h1-builds-and-combat is probably your better bet for asking about builds
I just did a hangover attack run. It was pretty fun.
How plausible does a maxed zag fists run with lambent plume and a time limit where I try to max out dodge chance sound?
Pretty plausible.
There’s a video with 160% dodge chance.
My first clear was with talos and the plume.
Talos helps close the gaps for quick toon clears though.
how do u unlock the fourth aspects of the weapons btw
Various character interactions and upgrades trigger it. Short answer is keep playing.
ah
Yeah
its in the pins somewhere
||Invest 5 titan blood into the weapon, and the for the corresponding weapon there will be a waking phrase from a specific person||
My songlist for if Zagreus made it into Smash Bros:
No Escape
The House of Hades (New Arrangement)
Out of Tartarus
Through Asphodel
Good Riddance (New Arrangement)
The King and the Bull
Lament of Orpheus (Underground Mix)
God of the Dead
||Final Expense (Payback Mix)||
||The Unseen Ones||
||In the Blood||
Aw, no OoT remix?
og is sick
true
I'll give you that
Good Riddance remix would be sick, especially if they did it in the style of Beneath the Mask
^^^^
asterius moment
how the hell the announcement got bombarded with reactions in 0.1 sec
Yes
damn bro never heard of it
intriguing
Coooool


ı have a question
hades is game of the year right? beacuse tlou 2 did not get the award
It did get the award
well depends on who you ask
Hades got best action game though
Its not but a lot of people said it was
Moist rated it the best game of 2020
(HUGE SPOILERS)||I’m supposed to get turned down by Dusa, right? I even got the bond forged thing for it.||
yes
Okay thanks, wanted to make sure I didn’t screw something up.
Also I completed the boonless run. First attempt, aside from beating Charon for kicks, literally everything that could go wrong did and I lost.
Second attempt I got a Daedalus Hammer at the start even though I wanted to avoid those. Other than that, it was pretty easy since I didn’t have the horrid luck from the first run~
First attempt was ||Rama||, but despite being my go to, the slow charge was annoying me on top of everything going wrong, so I switched to default for second.
I really hope Playstation and Xbox get Hades sometime soon, because my brother only plays games on Playstation.
||Rama|| is still my favorite, and what I used to complete my ||Heat 32|| run
||Rama|| is definitely my favorite bow aspect and one of my favorite aspects in general
Right?
Especially with twin shot
Very plausible in fact
