A lot of people do but..

tepid plover

tepid plover
old tundra
#

long kindle

tepid plover
#

Although it doesn't look very comfy

#

But is hypnos

old tundra
#

inb4 hades is into sleep-play

long kindle
#

Have a bed in your room?

#

That's no longer your room

#

It belongs to Hypnos now

gaunt tapir
#

Zag has a bed in his room too oh frick

rapid forum
#

Which is funny considering hypnos can sleep while floating

old tundra
#

i mean you can romance certain characters tho, bed in zag's room no biggie

gaunt tapir
#

#

This is news to me

#

๐Ÿ˜ณ

old tundra
#

gaunt tapir
#

Nah nah

long kindle
gaunt tapir
#

long kindle
#

Yea! ||I think u just gotta keep giving em nectar and talk to em? I could be wrong tho||

copper canopy
#

Shhhhh

#

This should all be spoilered

#

Like all of it

gaunt tapir
#

I didnt do nothin

old tundra
#

gaunt tapir
#

Sounds like a plan

long kindle
old tundra
#

otherwise you'll get locked out ||once you maxed out on nectar ||

gaunt tapir
#

I had heard about that

#

I can see the ||locked heart on Hades||, havent done thar yet

#

Dont tell me doe ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ:eye:

long kindle
#

Good luck!

old tundra
#

nah ||all characters have some sort of mini quest thing to unlock the next level||

supple lodge
#

||Your father is not a romance option||

gaunt tapir
#

Yeah I figured

gaunt tapir
supple lodge
#

Do it zaglol

old tundra
#

also || the primodial origin of everything is not a romance option either ||

long kindle
#

I wouldn't click it slimepanic

supple lodge
#

statistics wise, ||your favourite character is probably not a romance option||

old tundra
#

neither is || the old lady ||

gaunt tapir
#

I fear the contents behind the black bars

old tundra
#

๐Ÿ™‚

supple lodge
#

we're just saying what aren't romance options

long kindle
gaunt tapir
#

Alright I'll figure that out myself

supple lodge
gaunt tapir
#

I'm trying my darn hardest not to spoil things for this game because it is cool and good

#

I got spoiled the final boss a day before reaching it sadly ๐Ÿ˜ญ

supple lodge
#

I mean the final boss identity is predictable as heck

long kindle
gaunt tapir
#

Yes it is

#

But still I am a silly man

#

With smooth brain

tepid plover
supple lodge
#

Ah well I can at least sate my longing with all the fanfics and artwork of him

long kindle
#

Agony, suffering even

gaunt tapir
#

๐Ÿฅด

supple lodge
tepid plover
#

Pain perhaps

long kindle
#

Perhaps one day...

old tundra
#

tbh i dont mind spoiling myself on a game as great as this (i did spoil the plot way before i started playing, read the wikipedia plot lmao, at that time i wasnt planning on playing), because i can still enjoy the story regardless

gaunt tapir
#

That's fair

supple lodge
#

if you browsed through wikipedia pages of greek myth you probably already know most of the story

long kindle
#

I ended up doing the same cause I can't play the game muffinwheeze

gaunt tapir
#

Sad :(

old tundra
#

feelsbad

gaunt tapir
#

I've always liked going into games like these completely blind

long kindle
#

Also cause i suck at games but that's another story-

supple lodge
#

not compatible on your device?

#

godmode exists if you're really not confident

old tundra
#

yea

long kindle
#

Wait really???

gaunt tapir
#

Middle of the settings menu

#

"If you bad play this"

supple lodge
#

godmode reduces damage

long kindle
#

Zagreus goes /creativemode????

old tundra
#

another thing i googled whenever i hear "hard game", "{game} difficulty"

gaunt tapir
#

If game hard just get better

#

Ez

long kindle
hollow hawk
#

godmode doesnt do too much though, youll just have to practice and play

long kindle
#

Icic

supple lodge
long kindle
#

Sounds like a plan

old tundra
#

just get lucky, hw hard can it be?

gaunt tapir
#

Aphrodite's call ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

supple lodge
#

theres a lot of fast ez strong builds

hollow hawk
#

aphro call sucks lmao

supple lodge
#

hera aspect bow + crush shot or trippy shot

gaunt tapir
#

I've only gotten it once and it didn't seem very good but I found it useful

supple lodge
#

exagryph + sea storm

hollow hawk
#

one of the best advice that helped me when i was struggling with the game was, to git gud

gaunt tapir
#

A classic

supple lodge
#

the best advice is to try not getting hit

hollow hawk
#

just dont die lol

gaunt tapir
#

But what to do when you already got gud?

long kindle
hollow hawk
#

what

supple lodge
#

aphro call is funny to use on theseus

hollow hawk
#

no

gaunt tapir
#

2500 damage ๐Ÿ˜ณ

old tundra
#

btw if you're a beginner try getting athena boons, they help with learning enemy attack patterns (devs said this in that speed run video)

supple lodge
#

athena divine dash

#

truly divine

gaunt tapir
#

Athena dash my favorite

long kindle
#

I have no idea i haven't played the game and watched some lad annialate theseus with aphro call-

hollow hawk
#

especially ares

supple lodge
#

use aphro call on theseus and theseus is just momentarily oh no, he's hot

old tundra
#

i once had a mega zeus and dio legendary, with their duo boon, op

gaunt tapir
#

I dislike ares' call for whatever reason

supple lodge
#

beyblade go brrrrrr

gaunt tapir
#

๐Ÿคฎ

#

Rift blades cringe

old tundra
#

ares call is nice tho, you can hands of mouse for that duration

long kindle
#

I find the boon sound effects so funny sometimes

hollow hawk
#

ever heard of hunting blades??

long kindle
#

Like just ares

gaunt tapir
#

They're probably super strong and what not

hollow hawk
#

aka the best cast build in the game

gaunt tapir
#

But doom damage ๐Ÿ˜ณ

supple lodge
old tundra
#

my best cast build was true shot, poseidon blade, and poseidon + aretemis duo

long kindle
#

Dionysus boons: sounds of laughter and drinks
Poseidon boons: sounds of water and ocean
Ares boons: aaA aAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

supple lodge
#

Nope ๐Ÿฅด

trail pendant
gaunt tapir
#

Happened the same with orpheus ok

trail pendant
#

artemis/poseidon

gaunt tapir
#

Im kinda stupid

old tundra
#

oh i just realized that cupid is roman, the greek equivalent is "eros" and that sounds more erotic than cupid squirtheh

gaunt tapir
#

Hot

supple lodge
#

orpheus sounds very androgynous but hypnos literally sounds like yakko warner

gaunt tapir
#

Lmao

#

Now that you say it

supple lodge
#

bet you cant unhear it now

gaunt tapir
#

You've doomed me

supple lodge
#

I'm Ares >:)

gaunt tapir
#

Get it

#

My dog is called ares

trail pendant
#

doin' chaos shield with poseidon build with bits of ares and maybe zeus

gaunt tapir
#

Have fun

trail pendant
#

I would call my dog something like Fido

#

or my favorite czech dog name - ลฝerik

#

bud damn, Ares is cool

supple lodge
#

I'd name a cat Dionysus

#

Dio for short

gaunt tapir
#

Oh no

#

I can hear them coming

#

The jojo references

trail pendant
#

YES YES YES YES

gaunt tapir
#

๐Ÿ˜ฐ

supple lodge
#

this whole game is greek jojo anyway

trail pendant
#

Only saw first 5 Jojo episodes tho

supple lodge
#

aphrodite is jojo posing

gaunt tapir
#

Dude the olympians are just Zagreus' stands we're just too blind to see

#

I recommend Jojo's. I enjoyed it myself, the fanbase can be a bit wacky at times but they're mostly alright

plucky phoenix
#

it is i dio brando

gaunt tapir
#

Hi dio brando

rapid forum
#

Impossible... a stand user with many stands

#

or maybe they're his personas

#

last surprise playing in the background

gaunt tapir
#

Even worse

flat halo
#

How do you use the Achilles ideally

#

Since I died once to the first boss

#

And what is the ideal boon

#

Is Artemis and Zeus good with it

craggy barn
#

it's mainly used for cast builds

#

stuff like hunting blades or crystal beam work best with it

#

lodging casts can also work well with it

flat halo
#

What is Hunting Blade

#

So is casting build about keeping away?

craggy barn
#

cast builds obviously mean you rely heavily on your cast and using it effectively

#

you can have a close-range crush shot build with aspect of poseidon

#

or an aggresive aspect of achilles hunting blades build for large dps

#

also hunting blades is the artemis/ares duo boon

manic moat
#

why is achilles the best for hunting blades

craggy barn
#

each time you use bull rush, your next 4 attacks/casts deal 150% more damage (assuming you have the aspecct maxed)

manic moat
#

yea but

#

why not use that for every cast build

craggy barn
#

all casts can work well

#

oh wait

#

i mean it's a great option but if you're using say, true shot you'd be better off with hera or poseidon

#

achilles can deal large damage with the casts alone but poseidon and hera can do even more than that using exit wounds and such

hushed pumice
#

Exit Wounds is a massive trap boon

wet orchid
#

Im cursed with exit wounds

#

took me a lot of runs before I got exit wounds with poseidon sword

hushed pumice
#

It's very rare to be worthwhile

wet orchid
#

I almost thought it wasn't allowed lol

hushed pumice
#

Like your cast is just going to kill enemies outright if you're playing it right

#

And sure it can help against bosses and such if you don't phase them with burst

craggy barn
#

exit wounds is pretty situational

hushed pumice
#

So I'm not calling it l outright useless but definitely very low on the list

craggy barn
#

it's good if you're either not mainly using your lodging cast and just want it for boiling blood or are using it excessively lol

hollow hawk
hushed pumice
#

The point is you're supposed to not kill your target for it to do anything

#

That's so counter productive

hollow hawk
#

i never used it, except against bosses

#

my cast was just killing people left and right

#

exit wounds is defo overrated lol

runic parrot
#

exit wounds is only good with poseidon sword

hollow hawk
#

that too, only against bosses/mini bosses

runic parrot
#

yep

weak hearth
#

after how many clears does the story end?

#

if anyone knows

vapid narwhal
#

||10 for credits, god know how much because it depends if you actively go for it for true ending||

weak hearth
#

when you say actively go for it, is there something special you must do or you just beat ||hades|| over and over

vapid narwhal
#

you need to specifically do certain things

#

namely ||increase relationships with all Olympian gods||

weak hearth
#

ah okay

#

about that

vapid narwhal
#

and that ||for the true ending you must do their favors which all require specific things||

weak hearth
#

||i gave as many gifts as possible yet theres a key with a heart in the codex so what do i do to unlock that heart||

vapid narwhal
#

not all of them but you need ||6||

weak hearth
#

idk what to cover as spoiler lol

vapid narwhal
#

that's what I mean

#

refer to wiki for what to do

#

everyone is different

weak hearth
#

i see

#

thanks for the help

#

wiki says ||"Complete all three romanceable charactersโ€™ storylines (Thanatos, Megaera, Dusa)."||

#

holy christ ill see u in about 2 weeks

vapid narwhal
#

you actually dont need that if you get others

#

since you only need to max ||6|| so you can pick and choose

#

plus ||Demeter heart lock also counts as one||

weak hearth
#

ah i see

#

wow this game has so much to do

flat halo
#

I think I am close to that then

#

To unlocking the spoiler

craggy barn
#

for some reason i always see tailesque's pfp as some sort of artemis fanart instead of fox

weak hearth
#

lol

#

am i the only one who is iffy on Ares' design?

#

i feel like the God of War/courage should look a little more intimidating lol

craggy barn
#

just picture him with an aggressive expression in his face with tiny pupils

runic parrot
#

war is a messy affair, i actually like him breaking my expectation by looking so neat

rustic plume
#

is it bad i just realised the reason that Dusa is the house-servant?

#

Maid-Dusa

#

Guys Ive played Hades so much it has seeped into my brain like

#

Everytime I see anything related to greek mythology I think of hades

warped iron
#

๐Ÿ˜ฉ

jagged schooner
#

I was playing immortals fenyx rising n its abt greek mythology too

#

And when I saw their version of hermes I literally thought โ€œthe hermes in hades is so much betterโ€ AKJKDKSKHDKSJDKS

#

Like im sorry but the story n character designs r just superior ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

#

Does anyone else feel the same way lol

warped iron
#

well yeah each character in Hades has a very well defined character and they stick to it, all their voicelines and such portray it, etc

#

that's one great thing

jagged schooner
#

PERIODTTT the games so mf good I cant

runic parrot
#

didnt they purposefully design all the characters to be hot

warped iron
jagged schooner
#

I wanna watch blood of zeus but I feel like I might compare evrythign to hades LMAOAOAOAOA

#

Like just straight up unconsciously

hollow hawk
#

im on the same wavelength

warped iron
#

blood of zeus isn't even greek mythology, really. it's more like christian mythology demons

#

it's like

#

ugh

hollow hawk
#

i wanted to read odyssey

warped iron
#

stop

jagged schooner
hollow hawk
#

but im like "ill just imagine everything as it is in hades, its pointless"

jagged schooner
#

Im reading lore olympus i still like the series but

warped iron
#

I've watched the first couple eps of Blood of Zeus, the demons are literally just christian demons slapped into greek mythology

#

it feels like

jagged schooner
#

|| thanatos || is in it and i just sont like the webcomics portrayal of him cause it doesnt match up with hades ๐Ÿ˜ญ LMAOO

warped iron
#

yeah

#

er

#

yeah to the fr

jagged schooner
#

I thiught it was like one of thise short story type series

warped iron
#

it didn't hook me

jagged schooner
#

Like episodic

warped iron
#

eps are about the same length as your average anime, iirc. ~20 mins

jagged schooner
#

Is it an anime or a cartoon

warped iron
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

gritty roost
#

anime-inspired cartoon?

warped iron
#

why don't we just call them all anime and get it over with smh

jagged schooner
#

Oh like atla type beat

warped iron
#

nah jk

warped iron
#

"rick and morty is an anime"

jagged schooner
#

Is there a plot or is it like episodic

warped iron
#

there is a plot

craggy barn
#

i see a tumblr greek mythology meme with something like "Hades: something really dumb" and i can only imagine supergiant's interpretation of hades doing that

gritty roost
#

I finished BoZ, it's pretty good

warped iron
#

yeah it's not bad, I won't disagree

jagged schooner
#

Supergiants story is canon to me

warped iron
#

but I couldn't get hooked

jagged schooner
#

Their designs r canon LOOL

#

Ok imma try it out so good

#

Do any of u guys read lore olympus

gritty roost
#

but ngl the animation sometimes looks pretty janky to me

warped iron
#

I'm bored. Pick a weapon & aspect that isn't hidden bow for me.

#

๐Ÿ™‚

jagged schooner
#

Fists of talos

runic parrot
#

poseidon sword

warped iron
#

fists of talos was the first suggestion

#

here goes

gritty roost
#

zagreus sword

jagged schooner
#

Nice

gritty roost
#

back to basic

hollow hawk
#

someone shouldve suggested zag spear

jagged schooner
#

The talos fists sre my fave

brazen lagoon
#

Eris rail

hollow hawk
#

:D

jagged schooner
#

Im trying to get the bow hidden aspect

warped iron
#

anything but eris rail i don't wanna be generic mans

#

jk

jagged schooner
#

Ive gotten every weapon except for the bow

hollow hawk
#

talos used to be my fav until i used demeter

brazen lagoon
#

Zag spear worst zag aspect

jagged schooner
#

I think the rail is the worst one

warped iron
#

zag spear worse

#

legit

jagged schooner
#

I just hate the rail sm it took me 50 min to clear

warped iron
#

rail's extra ammo is great with that one hammer that gives you -6 ammo

jagged schooner
#

I suck at it lol

warped iron
#

it's relatively slow compared to my PB across all weps

brazen lagoon
#

The damage output on rail can be kinda low without the right boons

jagged schooner
#

Im shakinf my fastest time is 18 min with the fists

#

This game makes my hands hurt LOOOL

warped iron
#

yeah my PB is 9:06

#

or smth

brazen lagoon
#

10:47 with Achilles spear

jagged schooner
#

PLS why do I sucj so bad

warped iron
#

I mean I have about 40 clears with the aspect that set that record

brazen lagoon
#

Every time I think I can get a sub 10 styx hands me a 5 sack

#

alone

||finally got a clear with guan yu||

signal aspen
#

I used deadly flourish + charged skewer

#

its a great special build

#

I suck at this game tho ๐Ÿ˜ญ I turned on god mode to beat || hades || the first time

#

After my 30th run I just couldnโ€™t do it anymore LMAOAOAOAOAOA

warped iron
#

theseus is a narcissistic man who pretends to be the epitome of righteousness

brazen lagoon
#

Pests are annoying af

warped iron
#

i don't like him

brazen lagoon
#

I think I've cleared a room then I spend 6 years finding the pest hiding in the opposite corner of the room

#

have you heard his ||em3|| voicelines yet?

brazen lagoon
#

I've gotten used to theseus

signal aspen
#

||does anyone have a good beowulf build?||

brazen lagoon
#

I mostly just tune him out now

#

yeah

#

he doesn't ||use that wave attack thing with the two of them|| until after that

runic parrot
#

smack em

warped iron
#

I haven't started the run with talos yet, still thinking about what keepsake. This sounds like a huge meme but... poseidon special?

#

ok lets go

signal aspen
#

alright i will try that

jagged schooner
#

Omg

#

I was gonna say

brazen lagoon
#

It's called the yoyo build

brazen lagoon
#

It's not good but it's fun

jagged schooner
#

|| Persephones keepsake ||

brazen lagoon
#

Spoiler that

hollow hawk
#

spoiler that stuff

jagged schooner
#

Omg sorry

flat halo
#

So let me get this straight

#

Up to 20 heat gets a reward

#

While 32 heat gets you an achievement

#

The rest of the game can be obtained with time

warped iron
#

well, achievement, no. just skelly's reward

#

i think

signal aspen
#

||i usually choose a gods keepsake, then switch to pom flower after tartarus, and then switch to acorn before hades fight||

flat halo
#

Ah, okie

jagged schooner
#

Whats skellys reward

warped iron
#

the ||statues||

#

things under the cloth

steady gate
#

||No spoilers please is a lie||

jagged schooner
warped iron
#

but then you can't force a god

#

smh

craggy barn
#

the reward for ||32 heat|| is literally just bragging rights

signal aspen
#

i just hate not getting the right boons at the very beginning

craggy barn
#

and since i did it first try that means i get to boast dusa

jagged schooner
brazen lagoon
#

I tried ||32 heat|| on fists for the first time

jagged schooner
#

How was it

brazen lagoon
#

Gave up after I lost all dds to the heroes

craggy barn
#

just use sd

#

oh wait no

brazen lagoon
#

Tried again with eris rail and did it ez

flat halo
#

I mean

#

Oh

#

Is Eris Rail really good

jagged schooner
#

I think the rail and the bow r the most difficult

brazen lagoon
#

My build was kinda different compared to most ||32 heat|| runs

signal aspen
#

eris rail is probably the best weapon

flat halo
#

Actually

jagged schooner
#

Yea eris rail is good

flat halo
#

What do you do with the damage boost

#

From Eris and Achilles

brazen lagoon
#

I didn't do ||LC|| because i wasn't used to ||SD||

signal aspen
#

deal more damage

flat halo
#

Regular attack?

signal aspen
#

yes

flat halo
#

Or cast?

signal aspen
#

attack

#

maybe all damage

#

but probably just attack

copper canopy
#

Honestly? Half the difficulty of ||H32|| is finding the right combination of conditions to get to that number for you.

craggy barn
#

i'm not used to using sd either but touch of styx from patty is extremely good

brazen lagoon
#

I did ||JS3 with TD3 lol||

grand shale
#

wait guys

#

does athena's trap damage reduction boon count for lava in asphodel

brazen lagoon
#

Ye

signal aspen
#

yes

grand shale
#

THATS AMAZING

copper canopy
#

I did ||RI2, AP2, and UC||.

grand shale
#

THANK YOU

flat halo
#

Man, hit less to 30% for achievement is hard

hollow hawk
#

||RI2?!||

#

that is insane

copper canopy
#

But yeah the biggest difficulty IMO is finding the right combination

The worst part of ||AP|| is not the limited choice, itโ€™s seeing what you couldโ€™ve gotten still

Itโ€™s more than heartbreaking

that's why i just dont use it

when i did harsh conditions i had ||rl and ap|| on

Question

#

Is heat 20 annoying

#

For you guys

craggy barn
#

thank god for being able get rerolls from keys

copper canopy
signal aspen
#

any level of heat above like 10-15 will be annoying

copper canopy
#

^

signal aspen
#

depending on how good you are

craggy barn
#

i find 16-20 to be annoying

copper canopy
#

Iโ€™m at 9 on all weapons and working my way up

#

Not bad still

craggy barn
#

||heat 32|| is actually fun because i'm ultimately forced to play to the best of my ability

brisk trail
#

i am gonna try that

#

and die

signal aspen
#

i don't really want to go high heat rn

copper canopy
signal aspen
#

i got a 50 clear streak

craggy barn
brisk trail
#

whats ||rl and ap||

craggy barn
#

i had ||lc4|| on and patty just saved my run

copper canopy
#

I got a 10 streak then broke it when I tried a no boon run

#

Personally

#

whats a clear

brazen lagoon
#

I never do ||LC or HL||

signal aspen
#

escape

copper canopy
#

I messed up first time, but I did the no boon run, and then a no mirror run immediately after

signal aspen
#

have you escaped yet

flat halo
#

I think heat with all bosses and mini boss is probably what I consider ideal

brisk trail
#

yeah like 40 times agh dec ch

flat halo
#

Basically: content

flat halo
#

The rest is just being unnecessarily mean

brisk trail
#

i dont know the terminology

copper canopy
#

Clear is beat the final boss and get the victory screen

brisk trail
#

yeah

flat halo
#

I guess aside from the armored unit buff

craggy barn
brisk trail
brazen lagoon
#

||EM2, MM, TD, BP|| are some of the easiest conditions for me

flat halo
#

Can you spell out the other 3 for me

#

The ones without number

signal aspen
#

||EM is kinda a joke when you get used to it||

craggy barn
signal aspen
#

^

brazen lagoon
#

||middle management, tight deadline, benefits package||

craggy barn
#

no way i'm gonna have ||em4|| on by default, not gonna happen

brazen lagoon
signal aspen
#

||EM2 is just easy heat||

copper canopy
signal aspen
#

||i wish they can add an EM5 for charon||

craggy barn
#

||extreme measures furies makes the fight not boring and em lernie is straight up just easier||

flat halo
#

Why would you want to rush yourself with pacts

#

Thatโ€™s me

copper canopy
flat halo
#

Take your time, thatโ€™s how I roll

#

While I spam fists then accidentally leave the game running

signal aspen
copper canopy
#

Yeah but thatโ€™s a bonus anyways

signal aspen
#

||charon is the hardest boss in my opinion||

flat halo
#

You know

#

I never saw that sack

#

So I still have no idea how to make it happen

#

No spoil, is it a matter of time

copper canopy
signal aspen
copper canopy
flat halo
#

Never saw it

craggy barn
signal aspen
#

||i dont think that i have found the sack at asphodel or elysium||

copper canopy
#

I saw it and chose not to get it for a long time

flat halo
#

Ah, I realize now

#

I no longer go to mid shops anymore

#

I need the money for the goods at the end

copper canopy
signal aspen
copper canopy
#

Itโ€™s still not too too bad in ||tartarus||

craggy barn
#

fighting ||charon|| early on feels like playing those rhythm games where you really need to get into the rhythm

copper canopy
#

I didnโ€™t get the sack for a long time. Then again I always expected a ||harsher punishment|| since Iโ€™m so used to Spelunky 2.

craggy barn
#

it's simple but if you make only a few mistakes you're going to freakin die

signal aspen
#

||if you make one mistake charon will take 50 health from you||

flat halo
#

So the reward is just like a coin room, if I recall correctly?

#

I may make room for a few runs to practice

copper canopy
#

I love how ||Charon|| is only slightly ticked and mostly just wants a good fight.

signal aspen
flat halo
#

Hm.

signal aspen
#

i think it only works for his shop though

flat halo
#

How many times to max out

#

Entry codex

signal aspen
#

idk

copper canopy
#

Itโ€™s a nice touch to their character, since no one normally ever dares to oppose them.

flat halo
#

Reminds of a meme

#

I saw a meme about Zag and Charon

craggy barn
flat halo
#

Now I understand the shotgun

#

That is a purple stick

jagged schooner
#

Ngl || charon || is so difficult to fight I was like gonna pee myself LMAOOO

copper canopy
signal aspen
flat halo
#

I remember getting 2 coin chaos boons

#

Behold, 4k gold rapid slashing hoarding hangover blade

#

at 0 heat

#

Like bringing a nuke to a water gun fight

craggy barn
#

||charon|| hits like a sports truck on ice running on nitro but his attacks are very telegraphed and easy to dodge

copper canopy
#

||The oar|| comes out with very little notice

#

Still not too bad of a fight

spice hearth
#

eh for ||the oar||, just gotta be behind him

craggy barn
#

when he's gonna try to smack you he quickly moves towards you

#

basically the only attack where he does that

spice hearth
#

so you gotta dash towards him, so you'll end up behind hin

runic parrot
#

||FO2 charon|| is very fun and definitely not impossible

craggy barn
#

he also sometimes does an aoe that deals no damage but stuns you if you're too close which is pretty dangerous but he can't attack fast enough to just stun you when you're not looking and instantly reduce you to 50% health or less

signal aspen
#

i avoid him if i am going for higher heat runs

#

i just found out that demeter fist and artemis special mix well

||So how exactly does the sigil damage increase work. Like is it only when you are invisible or like after, or just a passive bonus?||

ive been playing so much hades, and now im watching the developing hell documentary series

#

i have so much respect for you folks at supergiant games and i wish i could express how much joy this game experience has brought and is still bringing me

#

you really hit it out of the freaking arena

#

the last time i was this into a game was when i played botw and i didnt ever think i would feel that way with another game again

#

yup i just want to express my gratitude to you folks at supergiant games

#

its like i met a new best friend idk how to explain it im just happy playing this game

you get it

this game just gives me so much serotonin

it's a shame that aspec of gilgamesh doesn't open portals to shoot weapons as projectiles

copper canopy

#

If you could suggest to add a 7th weapon, what would it be?

manic moat
#

hammer or scythe or whip

unborn remnant
#

The scythe could be cool

#

then you could have an Aspect of Thanatos or something

manic moat
#

it could add like a debuff for more damage like maim to show the little things thanatos has before instakilling

#

and the special could be like a delayed version of rail special

#

for the area instakill thingy

#

that thanatos does

dull niche
#

do we get a GONG every time we kill an enemy with aspect of Thanatos

manic moat
#

HELL YEA WE DO

#

I will say

#

The documentary about the devs sure is helpful

copper canopy
#

Special on Aspect of Thanatos activates a large area in front of you that deals damage after a time.

flat halo
#

And nice to hear about

copper canopy
#

Also yesterday when Zagreus entered a room Thanatos was in he said โ€œGuh-dongโ€

flat halo
#

I do feel like their next game may be Pyre level of niche, if only because Hades is the apex of their first 2 gamesโ€™ mechanics

#

Then again, Iโ€™m not going to get off the Super giantโ€™s shoulder anytime soon

eris go brrrr

heres the sad thing

the way i do it is pretty much by causing self pain so to feel good on thisrun i must hurt smh

all i can say is, hazard bomb for the win

Are you doing hazard bomb on eris?

love hazard bomb

yes, yes i am

i still have gun aspects to get like the rocket special

1.5k crit currently when it hits

to the point where everything else is irrelevant

at least for speedrunning among gun aspects

i just did it for the meme of being able to say "pain has never felt so good"

and now iv killed ||hades||, feels pretty good with this run sadly didnt do any heat smh

#

does even the boon dash-strike work on bow?

#

likw it find it hard to see the damage change

#

maybe the effect wares of if I do a charged dash strike ?

shrewd helm
#

I got lucky on a hazard bomb run recently

warped iron
shrewd helm
#

I had a couple other bonuses to my special. I dont remember the other hammer upgrades but it was doing about 1k a shot

#

Tbe fight with ||hades|| though got all wonky. I would shoot my bomb but if I moved around a rock, it would completely flip sides and be raining on top of myself

#

Probably the goofies run I've done with exagryph sense I barely used the attack, only to apply doom

swift mist
#

spoiler: ||askdjhfsdkafasdkjfhh||

outer dew
warped iron
#

?

#
  1. hermes attack boon doesn't affect dash-strike
  2. I think kaito is talking about artemis dash, which just increases dash-strike damage
outer dew
#

oh ok

#

It thought they were talking about the dash strike on the bow in general

#

How often do you guys pick non-darkness weapons

severe smelt
#

These days pretty often since I've maxed the mirror.

outer dew
#

All the time

#

I never really care about that

#

I just pick whichever weapon I want to play

severe smelt
#

I still go by darkness when doing blood farming because I like the game randomizing for me what weapon to pick and I like variety. ๐Ÿ˜‡

manic moat

I wanna do a full random build at some point

random weapon random aspect random mirror random heat(reasonably) and approval process 2 for full random boons

or hell, if you even reach final boss

@manic moat did you beat the game already

cause if you did i got a solution

im stupid

#

||Go approval process its super fun||

lyric wharf
#

Hidden sword spoiler, ||I noticed that the bombs thrown by enemies in the aura actually damage them, that's amazing.||

outer dew
#

Also I figured out that it also stops traps

#

Like it deactivates them. Which is pretty cool

lyric wharf
#

Yeah also negates lava damage.

#

Sadly doesnt negate poison from styx.

#

Also I just noticed the traps close to the aura but not in are still disabled.

desert mulch
#

Is there a strategy for speeding up the fight against theseus? I'm not asking for tips on beating him, hes super easy, but the fight can take me upwards of eight minutes because I usually use pretty low damage builds, and his stupid sheild blocks 90% of my attacks.

spice hearth
#

the strategy is to use higher damage builds

#

Also when he throws his spear he will always turn his back to you

#

that's the time to hit him

lyric wharf
#

Dash behind him to attack.

#

Its easy to do so, you have time to damage him a few times and then repeat.

outer dew
#

And attack him repeatedly when he is summoning a god

signal aspen
#

when asterius charges at theseus for that combo, you can use companion

desert mulch
#

Yeah, I donโ€™t have companions yet, but I do attack while he summons. The thing that really bothers me is how he blocks most casts

old tundra
#

you just gotta cast from behind him

desert mulch
#

Thatโ€™s valid

gaunt tapir
#

Stay close and dashing through him each time he turns around to face you

#

Then dash away when he does the spin thing or when the minotaur gets close

#

That way you get in more damage :)

desert mulch
gaunt tapir
#

That's weird, it always works for me ๐Ÿง

#

Whoa spoilers ๐Ÿ˜ค

Is there something special about this ?

i think there is no word on new content

It seems like I confused something earlier with the hidden sword, ||I thought that bombs sent by enemies in the aura damaged them but its actually not the case.||

did u guys know

The fists buff is nice

that doom can crit

This might sound dumb but I've wondered about it

Was Zagreus an actual character in mythology?

I'm assuming he was

#

he is

unborn remnant
#

It's just been years since I looked at any Greek myths

unborn remnant
#

aight

smoky shell
#

he's an actual greek mythological character

tacit ember
#

i find it funny that beucase this game is so polular, if u seartch "zagreus" on google u just find zag in the game

manic bobcat
#

yeah but also google search results are influenced by your search pattern also.

tacit ember
#

its not

#

i havent seartched for the game with this acount

#

also same thing in incognito tab

red gust
#

zagreus of greek myth is not very well known

tacit ember
#

also with cleard dns

red gust
#

the name shows up in a specific branch of greek myth, i believe

digital python
#

wait he's actually in greek myths? literally never heard of him and im like decently knowledgable of myths

red gust
#

neither did i, but he's mentioned in the orphic cult (?) apparently

forest eagle
#

I think he sometimes just kinda gets mixed in with dionysus?

tacit ember
#

wat

forest eagle
#

Which they actually kinda reference in the game

tacit ember
#

what does zag have to do with dionysus

#

pls elaborate

manic bobcat
#

zagreus is sometimes thought of as another identity of dionysus I think

hearty bramble
manic bobcat
#

as in they are one and the same

#

hence ||there is a joke in game about this||

tacit ember
#

when you have test on Greek myth
goes on hades discord server

digital python
#

ahh i forget how messy greek myths can be considering they used to be religions

tacit ember
forest eagle
#

Hey look I've watched all the myth episodes from overly sarcastic productions ok I'm basically a professor

smoky shell
#

he's sometimes referred to as an original identity of dionysus iirc, and he's in other works depicted as high in the underworld and later as connected to hades, either as a son or just another identity

tacit ember
#

Greece be like: we has gods
Romans be like: haha we take gods and change name

outer dew
#

Haha gods go brrrr

forest eagle
#

Not enough planets

tacit ember
#

yes

#

when there are more gods then planets

forest eagle
#

tfw you have so many gods you have to resort to moons for names

rotund igloo
#

Man I love the way they incorporated all this obscure mythology & lore

tacit ember
#

they should have done that

#

wait

#

I think devs cited one poem where Sisyphus mentions Zagreus as the son of Hades

#

is caesar technicaly a god?

#

didnt he like make him self a god or something

julius caesar? he claimed he was descended from venus

and like

whats the other guys called

i is god

#

augustus was like

#

Very sketchy memory but didnt a lot of the god stuff happen after he died?

#

Im pretty sure all of the emperors of rome tried to become gods or somethign

outer dew
tacit ember
#

no?

#

i mean depends i guess

#

all leaders can be good and bad

#

Alright wikipedia tells me Julius was deified after his death so yeah

i bet if he didn't get stabed he could have been a good emperor

He made rome a strong empire

so

i mean

I mean I think the whole assassination really backfired

So guyz, can someone spoil somethings for me?

#

Look i already now ||Three hidden aspects, aspect of arthur for stagyus, aspect of guan zu for varatha, and aspect of rama for the bow. can some spoil ONLY the name of other hidden aspects for me? Don't tell me which weapon, i am just curious to know their names.||

||gilgamesh, lucifer, beowulf||

Uhh... looks like the last one is somehow spoiled for already. Like the aspect of ||Arthur||

#

I saw it when i was checking the codex.

Dyno's boons.
Cast flare or something like that.

Anyway. I can't believe it. I cleared hades today 4 times and did A LOT of prophecies.
