For the aspects is it ||5 upgrades or 5 titan blood you invest to get the hidden ones to become available||
Cause I could just put a few into the zagreus one for cheap if it's not the latter
Bruh. 2 weeks ago my favorite god was Aphrodie.
Now i like Demeter and Artemis more than her.
Demeter: Cool boons that stack good with her weapon, malphon. Yeah i thought this weapon and this god are useless but now i regret it. I enjoy playing malphon+ chill boons
Artemis: ||revealing the hidden aspect of the heart seeker for me.||
Well, i try Talos. And it is goddamn fun and useful.
Yea I'm testing them on skelly and the base damage is pretty good. You even do more attack dmg after the magnetic effect
I'm gonna put my titan blood in this
Good luck with that. I haven't tried zag's aspect much, but talos is FUN
I'm only on ||heat 2|| so stuff isn't too crazy yet
The grind at first was hard but then runs got easier as I got the majority of bonuses from the mirror
But i can see how the ||heats|| will gradually make things hurt more.
Extreme measures alone on just the first boss is wild
Well i have just cleared heat 0 😐
But most of weapons have some of heat 1 and 2's bounties claimed.
About The rail, and varatha, i think i am ready for heat 3
I just cleared 2 with exagryph
I cleared 1 with the rest cause someone told me about the time one
It is a long, long time i have not used it. Once was my favorite. But i think i have forgotten it,
How many clears you have? I think i have 8, or 9, or 10
Lol no
Trust the process but it keeps u going
There are endings that follow "endings"
||I just checked hades room. Pesephone's drawing, and those stuff. FaThEr sTiLL loVeS yOu||
Wait wtf 😟
Endings???
Oh no
Oh no oh no oh no
What if i had made bad choices already
That will result in a bad ending??
No it's not like that
It would be fine if the ending is somewhat like the Nier: Automata's ending lol
A... game that i cannot describe.
I shouldn't have picked pierced butterfly with malphon...
It's hard to not get hit
I screwed this run probably
I think in better without using the special
I hate myself for playing it as a normal guy. I love philosophy, and that is why i tried this game. Yet, i was dumb playing it. Only saw the tragedy. Dammit.
F.
I tried it with the Hermes feather, well, it kinda rocks.
Maybe I just gotta get use to it
I'm running the 20% more enemies and the time limit
So it shouldn't be that crazy
The time for the first one is very generous
I havnt used the 2nd or 3rd one yet
I think at 2 its 7 minutes per
I tried it.
I was ok in Tartarus.
I was ok in Asphodel.
I was ok in Elysum.
Wait wtf heros?
Oh no way.
And i had the bow.
F.
Yes it is 7.
The third one is 5 mins.
Cringe.
6%!
Ok maybe I got this
Ye that sounds intense idk how I would manage unless you started off really strong
But if used with a bunch of other punishments
Sounds wild
Well speedrunning is not that mad.
But there are ppl out there clearing up to 50 right?
Dunno man.
🤷♂️
I think if you take Stagyus, with that cursed blade upgrade, it would be fine a bit.
- Hermes feather
You can play it like AHHHHHHHH
Ok so I got the magnetic special on malphon. Talos right. What if I take Poseidon's special that knocks them away
Cause he is offering
Wtf
And I'm not sure how this will work
I think...
I'm taking it
You know, it's special is 2 hit.
No don't!
The first one is weaker, that pulls the target, and inflicts magnetic thing.
The second one is the slash.
it's pretty cool actually. It still pulls then 8n than they get knocked away from u
The best part of talos is: Come here!!! boosh boosh boosh boosh boosh boosh you are dead dear shade.
Oh? Yeah u said u had that butterfly keepsake... piercing butterfly.
So yeah, you did the right thing to take posideons special
Dude check #h1-victory-boasting i just posted my winner build
That looks cool.
Lemme show it here to you again.
Ah... i can't post any pics here.
I need more Titan's blood, but the Furies fight only gives me darkness now so how do i get titan's blood other than the furies or how do I make them give me Titan's blood?
Use a different weapon
Tell me, you have not finished the game yet?
Nooooo, definitely not.
Then the best way would be to use a different weapon
Very well. There is many ways to get blood.
go trade for it
This is the best way.
Or trade currencies
The last boss may give you something good, who knows.
Also do not forgot the quests.
[did i just spoiled?]
I did my best to don't.
is that in ||elysium||?
No
Last boss is beyond elysium
Have you met the boss of this region?
The most feasible way to get more titan blood without beating the game yet is to use a different weapon and beat the fury with it
Once.
Oh, so you know the heros.
do aspects count as different weapons?
No
The two. Yeah.
As you can see, their chamber shows that, the prize of their chamber is not blood, absolutely.
Sorry to disappoint you
nah, y'all are good, thanks. I just want more aspects because imo aspects are the best part of the game.
Keep in my mind i'm only on the third dungeon.
Another good way to get blood is, to do some quests. I just cleared the game today 4 times (5-8th clears i ever had) and did 2 major quests that rewarded me like... a lot of blood. I guess like 14 bloods.
Dammit man... i am a real dumb brat.
Spent today only for hades...
I have won, but at what cost?
have a nice day 
It is 1:20 Am here so yeah technically have a nice another day is acceptable
Ty.
Commencing shut down process.
The prophecy board has a good chunk but it ultimately comes down to subsequent clears.
You can also trade in at the vendor, but that gets expensive very fast.
I will say that a few early ambrosia isn’t a horrible idea though
It’s a 1:1 conversion
Not a bad call. And you (probably) need the blood before you need the ambrosia
You also get two blood per subsequent run though so don’t go crazy.
does magma count as a trap for stygian shard?
Hey friends 😃
Hey!
Hope everyone is well
whats it look like?
Black item... the stone?
Like a black face or something
I'm on a switch so it's pretty small
I got 1
Of whatever it is
House contractor upgrade?
Is that what it is? @meager steppe a stone
is it fated authority?
Is that how it shows up? Under my materials
if it looks like a dice it's fated authority/persuasion
My guess would be that it’s a fate stone. Not sure if the real name. You can eventually use them to shape your runs by rerolling options.
the ||skullcrusher miniboss with middle management|| is a painnn
stand still to lure it, dash twice to avoid initial impact, dash twice again almost immediately to avoid the shockwave
pretty sure it is
ah cool thanks!!
at least, magma counts as a trap for ||heightened security ||and athena’s trap damage reduction
wtf I am so tilted rn. First I die to ||Hades|| when I was about to get a sub 10 run, and now have lost like 3 runs in a row
ahhhhhh
@brisk trail I cleared that run with that goofy build
But I was on my last Death defiance lol
It wasn't very easy
I didnt have much thought. I only had my butterfly to 12% dmg
I should've used something else but a win is a win even if its barely a win lol
I might’ve just figured out what the most powerful boon in the game is; Heroic Quick Favor. The speed at which the God Gauge fills is honestly unbelievable.
I just wanted to pop in here to say that if Hades released for Playstation, I would buy it again.
Just saying. Do with that what you will, SG.
Pog
Lost a dd but yess
I feel ||maim|| is pretty weird - the damage boost for hitting ||maimed|| enemies is fine, but the delayed damage take like 6 seconds before hitting them, and pretty much any normal enemy will be dead before then
Also I had a chaos curse of moving slow so that really sucked
But got patty right after so poggg
pretty sure it does, b careful
You don't have to worry because Stygian Shard only increases trap damage against enemies
oh i thought they were talking abt the ||pact of punishment||
Fist 4th aspect: ||Backloading the Maim damage makes sense, because 400 up-front damage is enough to trivialize all of Tartarus and most, if not all, of Asphodel, and would render the mutual damage buff status effect pointless against anything but bosses until Elysium. The way it works now a) gives you finisher damage against an enemy you might not have been able to kill for whatever reason, b) justifies the +50% enemy damage by giving you some serious burst, and c) gives you a fun little timer so you can challenge yourself to kill the enemy before the Maim procs
||
Fist 4th aspect: ||Gilgamesh is also my favourite aspect by a country mile so I might be a bit biased defending it lmao||
It is indeed a nice update
Nice
Anyway here a quick question should I upgrade zagreus bedroom?
excited for the new patch, hopefully this fixes the hades gift issue
If you have all the meta gem upgrades, sure

Then ok
For me i mostly collecting alot of gem to get more titan blood

To upgrade the weapons level
||Maim ?||
||Gilgamesh's special||
||The thing that the aspect of gilagamesh applies||
I see.
@mighty needle im a huge fist fan but my favorite will always be demeter
though ||gilgamesh|| is great i feel like it should have a execution style play style where if you ||maim|| and it has its base damage but if they hit like 5% health then its execution
Yeah demeter aspect is pretty good
Demeter best for fists in my opinion
demeter is great for fast combo
||gilgamesh is great kiting out enemies||
in my experience ||Gilgamesh|| best synergy is probably Ares for a double damage burst proc
as they can stack on one another and end up doing 1k+ damage
I got Exclusive Access as my fourth boon as a reward for a midboss fight in Tartarus.
also i gotta check if they fixed the bug where it does no bonus damage with boiling blood
which hidden weapon?
I was actually using fully upgraded default blade, so faster attack, then I got Epic Swift Strike, and my two Daedalus Hammers were Flurry Strike and Cursed Blade.
It was insanity
||I thought that at first too, but the reason the dash-strike deals 20 damage is because it instantly follows up w a regular attack, so long as you don't cancel with a dash, which means the effective dash strike damage is 80 (20 + 60)||
thats a wet dream
ah so you got hidden sword
It still feels extremely slow but thats just my opinion
I’ve unlocked all the weapons and aspects, but thusfar I’ve only bothered to fully level up aspects 1 and 4 for all weapons.
||I would say the best god for Gil is Poseidon because it has incredible knockback and does absolutely silly numbers with Rupture and slam damage||
I could fully upgrade another aspect on all weapons, but I’m waiting until I have enough blood to do it all at once
actually thats a good point
But also Poseidon is my favourite god so I'm a bit biased here too
forgot about his knock back
||It is definitely the best aspect for Poseidon, whether or not it's best for Gilgamesh well who knows||
Eris has entered the chat
Eris is second best for Poseidon
I love using him to farm a lot
Usually I don’t care much for knockback boons but I love tidal boons on Exagryph so much.
||Gilgamesh has super high knockback on special so it just synergizes better||
I mean the wr is eris with tidal dash and thats like a 4 min time soooo
but ||Demeter has my heart cause her abilities have unique stacking passives||
And when I say second best for Poseidon I specifically mean irt Rupture
Oh yeah I'm not talking about Tidal Dash
I'm an attacking kinda guy
same here
Don't get me wrong though, adore Tidal Dash
I always loved the Ares/Ahprodite power house combo
||Frost|| Strike is usually my default go-to for attack boons in most of my runs.
Whats their duo boon again?
😍
lol
Oh
Applying weak to an enemy makes them keep taking doom damage until it wears off
Curse of Longing: enemies are constantly Doomed while Weak
ok
But the Doom is only 50% of the triggering Doom's damage
Got that yesterday but was disappointed to find out the damage decreased overtime
I think the best ares duo is ME
What about pacifist Zeus-Ares?
Merciful End is just generally one of the best boons in the game
havent done a zues ares
i might have to now
I wanna get Athene and Dion also havent done a combo with them
I love Vengeful Mood w all my heart but it just makes me wish that every god had a revenge boon, looking at you Poseidon, Artemis, Dio
lol
Unironically yes
I just randomly got it one time and I was like huh
On my 1.0 save file, during the scripted Huge Catch run, I literally only got 3 fishing spots
rip
OH wait
I got one like every other chamber almost
I still have a soft spot for the Athena-||Demeter|| Duo Boon.
Stubborn right?
When I tried it the damage kept decreasing
plus with Dire Misfortune it can negate that down side
Yes
Has anyone done any modified runs? My friends and I want to do a race where we start from a fresh save file and see who can beat Hades 1st
I’ve gotten every legendary and duo at least once because the list told me to
While I have another fist main here @topaz yew what do you think of Zag aspect fists
no, on the wiki it says what I said: "(To clarify, each successive Doom hit will deal 50% of the previous one.)"
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
I mean
As a diehard fist main I think it's the worst aspect in the game
The Fist have a great dodge chance but youd have to go for Hermes feather and His boons for a chance to get it above 50% and then youd probably be somewhat invincible
IF you really wanted a good run with it
id go with Zeus Ares combo
for their duo boon for procing random revenge effects
Zeus*
and go for a revenge path build
There's nothing about Zag fists that synergizes with Lambent Plume as far as DPS increases go; I cleared every single room on moderate heat w Plume using Zag sword because your DPS goes way up in comparison
Man
yeah your right
I got a 28 dodge from hermes keepsake yesterday
Didnt get any extra dodge from him tho
that i actually won
I think Zag fists need: 15% dodge chance + 15% attack speed (like they used to have, before the AS got removed because it apparently never worked properly) for a mixed utility + offense like Zag sword has, or 10% dodge chance + 10% damage resistance for pure defense
say Hidden for any 4th aspects
Oh sorry
on a side note
I just recently got hidden Rail and i am wetting my khakis
its really good
I've heard great things about it
the only problem is the actual bombs
yeah its a great DPS weapon
and it procs things FAST
The hidden rail special is pretty weird
Max Zag Sword + Epic Swift Strike + Flurry Strike + Cursed Blade + Curse of Agony + Dire Misfortune + Impending Doom
That was the run I had earlier.
Rail 4th aspect: ||if you have Thunder Flourish the special become proximity mines - enemy gets close, lightning bolt triggers, lightning bolt detonates bomb||
REALLY?
See now that's an incredible run
You just can't get that kind of action w Zag fists
Yeah, really
It also works as a stationary reflecter with Athena
again zag fist is if you wanna go balls to the walls
oh then|| demeter|| and zeus
would prolly be good
It really was~ 
Wow I wanna do that now
I wish hidden rail special let you stack more than 3 bombs on the field at the same time - if you do any more than that it detonates them all. Kinda makes the pulsing damage aspect of the special not as useful
for me it stacks 4
Triple bomb?
Lmfao
Yes normal bombs only detonate if you hit it or if an enemy does
ill brb
The problem I have with that is that a ~1/6th chance to dodge damage without further dodge chance honestly isn't as powerful as it sounds, given the kind of damage enemies can do. Relying purely on RNG just isn't satisfying, it needs a little something extra to give you a consistent benefit I think
Use hermes keesake
Keepsake
It also keeps you on your toes the entire run
Again Plume is a big, inflexible investment and there's nothing about Zag fists that will increase your clear time
Idk if your fast it works
Plume just works better with other things
Once you start maxing out jury summons, calisthenics, and BP, your clear time starts to fall off pretty quick if your aspect doesn't have some kind of DPS boosting effect
would be funny if you could get chaos movement speed boons, and stack them, Zag sword, Plume, Hermes boon, to get like 3x faster
Its fun at lower heat
Pretty sure chaos can't increase movement speed?
I agree that its hard at higher heat but just to have fun
yeah I said it would be funny if you could
ah
but you can't
The problem is after over 500 hours I only have fun at higher heats, low heat is too cruisy
Rip I only have 4o
40
500 hours...........
wait, can you gift him multiple times in the same run?
Yeah, you rack up a lot of hours while beta testing (look for me in the credits!)
Do I need to max out sisy to gift ||bouldy||?
I'm not complaining because Hades is one of the best games of all time and I'll never stop playing lmao
My second favorite game of all time
For like... a month after release I would start every conversation I had like some kind of missionary
"Have you heard about Hades?"
oh man i've been there
"The Good Game?"
i still am there
I have told all of my friends about hades but i dont think any of them really got it
I have preached to everyone I know
steam keeps trying to recommend other roguelikes to me and i want to be like....no....just this one. JUST this one.

Not that it's a hard game to sell lmao
Honestly I got it bcs it was cheap
hades has been added to the list of games i preach about, right up there next to Dishonored
But then fell in love with it after 2 minutes
I've been here since day 1
I still remember the announcement trailer at the Game Awards
I nearly peed myself
bless beta testers
I mean a lot of people said it was the GOTY
im still mad it didn't win award for music/sound design at game awards this year
korb is actually a genius. imagine having that much talent.
Didnt last of us 2 win?
Hades would've absolutely swept if it was public
Like whaaaaat
GOTY more like advertisment of the year smh
"totally rigged" doesn't have to mean wrong
Well the panel reflects the interests of corporate, not the interests of gamers
It's all about clout
ehhh i understood why tlou2 won goty, i would have preferred hades get it because indie studio and studio with good employee treatment. but hades really got screwed over for music. ff remake was just new arrangements of 30 year old music.
Which is not necessarily an indictment of the GAs, I still think they're an important event on the gaming calendar
It's just a little bit funny that TLOU2 which had absolutely disgraceful fan reception (this is not me defending TLOU2 haters at all those people are freaks lmao) won GOTY over Hades, which is beloved by literally everyone, has had one of the best Steam ratings of all time since its 1.0 launch, and has been awarded GOTY by basically every other mainstream and indie outlet since
yeah, i was partly ok with tlou2 getting goty because it made Gamer Bros TM angry
3000 damage backstab crit, hidden sword is too good.
BRUH
Exactly
Hidden sword is absolute madness
Sooooooooooooo much fun
It has really cool tech too! ||You're able to dash between the attacks in a combo without cancelling the attacks, if you time it right, so you can actively reposition while attacking, which pairs with its... INSANE cleave||
4185 crit right now without backstab with Battle Rage buff, that was on a snake stone so no backstab possible.
how
You can do the same thing with hidden spear attacks too
Oh interesting.
Stacking damage up with crit damage up boons along Battle Rage from Ares.
Given how slow it attacks, I find you basically can't play the game at higher heats using it without also using that tech
Because of how long you get stuck in the animation
Which tech ?
This one
I mean the movement tech
Oh hey, it's Profaene 
Well yeah you're meant to use it to actually finish your combos.
I decided to finally come back to the lawless land of The Hades Server
Hidden sword is my favorite hidden aspect but it might become my favorite aspect in general.
Welcome back 
I just beat a dash only run
Does anyone find spear hidden good
Everyone
God, who else remembers when Achilles spear was still compatible w Chain Skewer?
I miss those days
I hate it
||Guan Yu|| is fantastic
Also yes hidden spear is fantastic
Gives me such low health though
You have to really get used to it and optimize your mirror (use Stubborn Defiance and Abyssal Blood)
I mainly have trouble with the first fury boss if it's not meg
Dash only run complete yay
But it's a really powerful and rewarding playstyle once you get the hang of it, and it makes for a really fun challenge too!
Congrats :)
Pog
I'm also a spin to win spear player so 4th spear is perfect for me
I also use keyboard and mouse
I use controller
I’m good at both
i used to be Fists spear then Shield
but now im fist Rail and bow
cause
the hidden bow is
I use all weapons
GOD
I use whatever weapon has dark thirst
I like to be versatile
Nice
I’m happy when Aegis has dark thirst
Actually I’m happy when any weapon has it
Yes even spear
I like the Aspect of Hades
I began my Hades career as a shield one trick but then the fists came out and I fell in love instantly
Oh god I have 666 darkness
So now I'm a fists/shield/sword/spear/rail/bow kinda guy
i think shield is good but i can only do it when i get the charge burst
instead of bull rush
Ah, I’m Shield/Rail/Bow/Sword/Fists/Spear
I ONLY attack w bull rush followed by dash attacks
Bull rushing is still one of my favourite mechanics in the game
It’s cool
It's just so much fun zipping around! And it's great w Poseidon because the knockback is Good
Bull rush with power charge is fun
My name WAS Profaene "Minotaur Rush" Profaene until an hour ago
Hm
I’m Bouldy, but I’m not changing my name to that
Bouldy is my favourite Hades character
Bouldy is simply to perfect to mimicked
Also love it when Chaos says you get50%+ damage for your special if you dont use it and i have demeter on rn
Pain
Oh man
Well, it’s worth it in the end
Also chaos can’t kill you
Will just leave you at 1 hp
So you could use your special if you have stubborn defiance
true
You’d be fine
Not that you ever want to be 1 HP
I have aphrodite's Flourish and my fst just got 200%+ damage im about toi bust
The only reason I figured this out was because I tried to kill myself with chaos to try and proc SD
Asphodel is a wonderful place to be in high heat
Because you can die whenever
the pun
Yes
Thanks for catching onto that
Was totally intended
But yeah, it sucks when you can’t kill yourself in a room with SD
That’s why Asphodel is nice
Elysium is slow for that but doable
yeah its acceptable
Why I said high heat is because at 32, you heal by dying
The only other way is to pick up a max hp up
oh yeah everyone uses that alternate version of DD
for high heat but not low
I didn’t like it at first
Yeah it’s required for high heat
Because LC4 exists
What the heck where did I get 5 diamonds?
Oh
likely
Yeah probably
Pom Porridge is ASTOUNDING
Yeah it’s great
I used to always take Refreshing Nectar
Alright, I’m gonna do a boonless run
Why? Because I like pain.
depends what aspect?
Oh your there for real pain
One of my favourites
if you did at least hidden rail id understand
I’m not a big fan of hidden rail
Oh no no no I would not in a million years do a boonless hidden rail run
Zag Sword is my pick
I like the movement speed and attack speed up
Haha, approval process on
It seems like I encountered a bug, I bought the limited deal which was titan blood for 15 keys, but I quit and load back my save to check something and the limited deal got changed to 20 gemstones for 2 keys.
Might just be that it registered that as having another run
Quick question
But if you think it is a bug 
Does Heart of Stone count as a boon?
I'm on Switch.
I would argue so yes
I tried to save reload but the limited deal remained the same.
Darn
Not sure how to report bugs then
I mean quit reload.
That could be because you didn't autosave the game by entering another room before you quit?
Also possible
I had a ||heart scene with Meg|| then I went to check limited deal, then reloaded to check something and the limited deal changed.
The ||heart scene brought me to Zagreus room btw.||
Anyone else listen to Eurydice's song for at least one full playthrough before moving on?
Yeah
It's a damn good song.
I did that the first time only.
No one knows what SGG is up to next
A lot of people are begging them to continue updating the game, but they might not
SGG is all about releasing one finished product and then moving onto the next, and I think I remember Greg saying in a NoClip (forgive me if I'm wrong, paraphrasing) that he's not super interested in making DLC because Hades is already a complete experience
My counterargument is that, depending on the content, DLC doesn't diminish the base-game experience, additive content doesn't detract from previous content
Agreed
Like if they just added a lot of new boons and hammers then it's only increasing the game's lifespan
If they did new story content or added new characters then I'd have to side w Greg on that front but honestly I'm fine w that, I'm more interested in mechanical things for the sake of longevity
Yeah
So Hades no new weapon DLCs no more plot?
Nope
Not as far as we know
It's possible, but they've said nothing one way or the other about DLC
So is the producer planning to add games like hades but about other gods?
They're keeping the future of SGG under pretty tight wraps
Because Hades is one of the most successful roguelikes of all time and roguelikes and DLC kind of go hand-in-hand then it's totally possible we DO see some DLC
It would be financially intelligent and everyone alive is begging for it
its because it pretty much gets rid of rng
Yep
most of the game is based on your skill
But at the end of the day it's their decision and they'll do whatever satisfies them creatively
I don't think the devs themselves know what the next step is.
At least that's the vibe I got from the noclip document.
When Amir was asked what's next, he said bug fixes and patching xD
i dont know what to say honestly either
2027 we get post launch patch version 1.99235
true
It's boring not to know the future of Hades's son
i dont think there is an ending to it
I mean the story closed every loose end
Whatever supergiant does next I'm sure it'll be great, if not better
unless the devs add more
I would hope the dev's do a dlc but
There IS a satisfying and clear conclusion to the main narrative which justifies Zagreus' infinite escape attempts
Like some Binding of isaac where they incorporate more areas that get you more before you fight you know who
Is that a spoiler? I have no idea if that counts
not really i think
cause after you do beat that first attempt you kinda got a goal and figure the rest from there
But Isaac story is vague so it's easier to add more contents with fewer justification.
true
I don't think adding more in-between area's would be a great idea
but greek mythology has a LOT of story behind it
But maybe new area's after ||greece/hades||?
Maybe I have to meet a developer to ask?
I mean we can fight the ||gods themselves for sport||
I doubt dm'ing the developer's would yeild any fruit
Yeah, I'm not that interested in new areas. I want more raw mechanical content - new boons, new hammers, new holistic gameplay structures
Yeah sorry but they're not going to give you the kind of answer you're looking for
there's only so many olympians tho
I wouldn't complain if one new area was added
yeah dming the devs will get you a "wait for our next announcement answer"
Lmfao
Adding new gods would only muddy the story and bloat the game
Not that I would be against it, necessarily
I'm always interested in seeing a new godly boy toy
Wishing they gave us hope or something.
I dont think adding new gods is the way to go but maybe they can introduce the Domain of the gods and you can even earn Favors for your next run attempt
like the whole thing with thanatos and Meg
There have been awesome fan designs for gods going around like Apollo and Hephaestus, I've always wanted both of them in the game, but then even if you can come up with some satisfying new mechanics you have to justify why they're coming into the story late, which throws a wrench in the plot
I mean there are a lot of things they can add. Ideas is not lacking.
Hermes DLC! Where you play as Hermes concurrently covering Zag's butt
If they're done with the Hades then why not delete this discord? Or remove the rules? ...
What
bruh
Why would they delete the Discord?
xD
That is such a
Hephaestus was techinally hated by Hera so he was pretty much black listed
I definitely want new environments though
People come here to talk about the game because they like playing it
This discord isn't just for hades
Isn't there a boon that allows trippy shot to poison ?
There is not
Discord is used for more than just news announcement lol
It's basically a forum for the game.
And even if it was, they wouldn't delete the discord just because they stopped working on the game
Unless you mean Ice Wine, which applies Chill
i can see Hephaestus being introduced for a new weapon like a battle hammer
Nice
I see thank you.

or a dual weild
Oh a hammer that generates momentum tossing zag around would be sweet
Dash Nova?
Delete this discord or remove the rule I want them to do something to prove Hades done
Even if it was done they wouldn't
hades will never be finished
Why are you so insistent for more content? Give them time
I mean we can speculate
How is deleting Discord proof that they are done with the game?
I'm getting a language barrier here
most likely
OK I’m not going for heat with the boonless run, I just want to complete it
I insist they give me new haircuts dlc
lmfao \
hey friend this is a community discord, for fans to come talk about the games and share their experiences. its presence has zero relation to the state of the game
In general they leave the discord fine but will not staff their stay here
^^^^^^
Have you cleared with the pompadour yet?
Shield 4th aspect: ||The one major change that I'm desperate to see is all of the cast boons getting properly adapted to flare form for Beowulf, because currently it's just... so underwhelming. You lose out on Blizzard Shot, Lightning Phalanx, Cold Embrace, Crystal Clarity, Hunting Blades, as well as multiple tier 1 and 2 cast-affecting boons||
I want to play as Meg, please
Shield 4th aspect: ||There are only so many Ice Wine/Scintillating Feast/Freezing Vortex/Curse of Drowning runs that I can do before I get bored, which is a real shame considering shield is my 1st/2nd favourite aspect||
I want a skelly run where the goal is to die in each room as quickly as possible
I'm just joking. I just wish I could have a new chapter or something new from Hades if the staff making the trick is still here.
Wrong timing btw.
Thanks for listening to my explanation
in any way shape or form a lot more story can be added along with introductions of certain characters cause there is a lot of little nick nacks
It didn't sound like a joke at all and if it was then it wasn't funny.
Shield 4th aspect: ||This isn't me saying that Beowulf is underpowered, btw, it's plenty powerful raw stats-wise. It's just... dull because it has no build diversity, especially compared to Hera||
they can introduce more half gods
There's enough contents in the game for now to even ask for more.
I do want more but I'm more than satisfied with what we currently have.
I hope Hades's son will meet more gods. I look forward to the adventure of Hades's son
Oh don't worry it was more towards the other person.
175 hours in the game right now and still playing.
I'm so short on nectar now. I'm rationing 1.5 on average run. But I'm stocked up on Ambrosia!
Lol still nice.
Why can't a game last forever?
Lol I'm so sorry
AND TRADED IT ALL FOR TITAN BLOOD
But yeah the broker offers for blood and ambrosia and I'm like ...naaaah it's the only resource actually gated
Yeah usually the broker offers some great deals
I'm done with almost everyone hearts, 3 characters left and I have 79 Ambrosia lol.
i wish that was my struggle
Sry mate
I die constantly, whoever sets more records than me
A game lasts as long as you want to play it, Roguelike games are great at that.
I think I'm past needing diamonds tho? Only songs
i mean
tbh
skyrim is how old and there are people hittin 10k + hours....
just saying
a game is how ever long you want it to last
as Laumi said
but to be fairer that game has over 1k mods
LOL
I mean, if this game get's steam workshop support
OMG
I can see it's lifespan being greatly increased
Agreed
Even without mods Skyrim still have a lot of replayability.
actual genuine question ||Persephone has her garden in the underworld however is there anything special that takes place there?||
there won't be official mod support so workshop is unlikely #ask-supergiant message
||Dialogues with her and/or Hades sometimes.||
you do also get ||a sculpture|| post epilogue but i think that's it
OOF its guuchi ill hop back on it tommorow for now imma play another game cause ive been on hades a lot today
Which game ?
I wanted to go back to Dead Cells after I'm done with Hades but well its still not the case but I'll probably try to play in between.
Im about to play some LOL
I see.
Lol.
5022 crit with hidden sword, another record lol.
I just realized we can dash while doing special and have it land where you dashed.
The more I play with hidden sword and the more I realize new things about it and love it even more.
Laumi, good taste on servers lol
How much health does theseus have?
I was in ||Em3 if that makes a difference||
Does that give them more health too?
What do you mean lol.
I thought it just gave them extra moves
We are on 3 same servers
Oh we have similar servers lol.
yeah
Thank you lol you too.
Holy crap, I think I got a crit on the 3rd swing of the blade's hidden aspect with clean kill and it did like 2k damage
😦
sore hand and alot of curses thrown about
i seriously stopped and thought i had actually won
Yeah, ||When I relaised that hades had a second phase I was floored||
Can u spoiler that btw :)
||second phase god of the dead slaps though||
seriously seems like everyone else can beat this at least once
||i wasnt even mad when i encountered his second phase for the first time because the theme is a banger||
my hand is getting seriously sore from this game, anyone else have that issue
this will be the game that gives me carpal tunnel
i was so close damn
||The second phase theme is my favorite theme in the game, I was so impressed when I first heard it, it was so epic.||
Yes.
yeah the music is on spotify have it added to my playlists
you might want to spoiler the fact that ||the final boss has two phases||
Just keep playing, you'll eventually get it, the more you die and the more you'll get better at the game.
ugh back to the grindstone, how come i couldn't use my summons calls on the final
is it prevented? or just my impression
Yeah it’s prevented
maybe i'll just replay the same levels ad nauseum and try to farm for some items to buy blood for upgrades
so might as well use the calls and summons and burn through them on earlier bosses? since the end doesn't let me use them
don't see why its prevented though
because ||it's their boss||
God calls can be used, not the companions.
You should be able to use the god call
Unless you didn’t have enough meter to use it
maybe the gauge wasn't filled\
Yeah
final boss my hands ache every freaking time along with the prior boss battle
its not mercy
Yeah haha
I guess if you could pause it and take 5 before the final boss 😂
do you play on mouse and keyboard
if so people have said that controller is better and more ergonomic I think so you may wanna switch to that
if your hand aches a lot
i'm on switch so yeah pro controller
its the constant button mashing and dashing
i logged 178 failed attempts is that normal?
Just means it’ll be more satisfying when you finally do it
but i am getting alot better and more responsive most of the time i sail through to prior boss at least
prior boss to final
=/
and less having to use death avoidances
Like someone else said, pause a little before the fight, my hands sweat a lot during the final battle I had to pause sometimes to wipe my hands but now its fine.
Do you usually make it to the end with all your death defiance’s?
9x out of 10 i make it to the second to last boss, that battle is grueling and try to throw everything at them because normal attacks take forever if i'm lucky. Last level and boss not so often so far.
handful of times maybe
How many times can you upgrades Fated Persuasion
with dd's all the earlier bosses i got to the point where they rarely kick in, unless i'm sloppy
Play with Pierced Butterfly to get better at avoiding damage.
Hmm maybe you need to work out a tactic for the second last boss
I'm trying to manage how I spend my darkness and Fated Persuasion keeps hiking up the price
ok a few tips, instead of "throwing everything" at the boss, you want to make your build specific to one movie, and use that mostly
instead of full button mashing, try to play a little tactically and just like stay away and poke at them, or hit and run
i have all the trinkets upgraded at this point. I usually have cosmic egg and try to enter and get the attack/special upgrades
it doesn't matter if it takes too long
Yeah try making a build centered around one main part
for example divine dash plus ares attack with merciful end is excellent
i push to get the grenade launcher upgraded as much as possible and play coward from a distance 🥰
Hmm I wouldn’t use the egg when you’re trying to do your first clear
I’d recommend the first 2 floors taking Olympian keepsakes so you can guarantee who shows up, and that’ll set up your run
And then it can be pushed even further
Or using the combination of poseidon sword and exit wounds
I’ve never focused the grenades so I’m not sure what their damage is like 🤔
I got my first clear with Pierced Butterfly.
Ohh okay haha
You can get like 300 on each depending on upgrades
I'd you can get triple bomb, you can get like 900 damage on a single enemy
And then upgrade your special with some extra effects and you can stack more.damage
all keepsakes are maxed at this point
only companion i have is bat and he's not fully upgraded
so what keepsake do you recommend first play through? i can skip cosmic egg and those portals
Use the gods keepsake to shape your runs.
my thinking was deal with momentary nonsense for increased attack from chaos
but might be a waste of time
You can just take the damage with Chaos when you start a run, its not a lot.
Honestly you can just use the portals and take the health loss if you’re careful, but they’re not as important as a Olympian keepsake to garuntee someone showing up
Chaos is worth the risk.
Yeah, cause you can just heal the health back up
Especially the first 2 floors I’d say it’s worth doing
For the final fight I always use the acorn
chaos really depends on the build
yup
Actually amazing
what keepsake do you suggest for third fight
For the final boss I go with Skelly keepsake.
Overall I'd say Pierced Butterfly, playing with it can make you better at avoiding damage.
i like manipulating my boons too much to use pierced butterfly
I think the butterfly is good but quite risky unless you’re sure you can get a lot of rooms without taking damage
by elysium i suck at avoiding damage
I need a video with JUST Dio voice lines
butterfly requires you to avoid nearly all damage for such a small payoff in each room
"Yooo zag man what's up dude"
tradeoff wise its kind of not fair exchange wise
early on its possible but too much work being precise and careful
in general
For a start it helps to get better at avoiding damage, I also use the gods keepsake.
maybe i'll start using it more to train up on avoiding butterflies and shieldguys
yeah laumi i had it earlier on and its good for practice
to get yourself better
while maxing it out
but in the end seemed too much work for the payoff
took me a while to get the achievement for 30% pierced butterfly
guh-dong
Idk what it is but this game has always been able to generate the perfect amount of tension and hype for me even though I'm almost 100 attempts in at this point.
Like how ||the deep piano creeps in at the beginning of the battle with Hades||
Or how the crowd in Elysium absolutely loses it
Yeah it just never gets stale haha
I feel like the dialogue has a big part to do with it
Like even now you will be having new conversations with everyone
Yeah
Is there still new dialogue at 100 runs?
Speaking of how do you get the hearts that are locked when you gift to friends?
Yeah I must be around 150 runs now at least and I’m having story and conversations every run I’ve never had before
Each locked heart has a different requirement
Wow thx good to know
I definitely can
Murderrrrr
Lol
Or Charon Hhnnnnggggg
Also the view points at each region every but that doesn't really count
“So you’re expecting me to ||battle all the way of of hell Again with even greater danger?||”
I prefer repeat dialogue, I was dreading I'd end up with no dialogue
Yeah I’ve only got like 107 hours, so eventually they might keep saying the same things, but depending on how far you are you might have loads left
I did it!
||”However... long... it takes...”||
Actual tearjerker
I’ve heard Orpheus repeat the same bland line over and over
Not sure if there’s more to him or what
That's nuts. What weapon?
Hestia Rail
I’m trying to work with Orpheus more as well
Hestia rail is my favorite aspect
Beating ||papa Hades|| was terrifying
hey the final boss is a spoiler in this channel, please spoiler tag accordingly :)
Oh sorry
you're good! thanks 
Hey speaking of I was legit bummed to find out ||post credits when you beat Hades it skips the farm and then also give you a legit death scene instead of the fade-away surface one like before||
Yeah no prob
||Yeah the cabin scenes were excellent||
Like it feels rough beating the final boss successfully only to ||see zag get brutally murdered by snow||
||i wanna see the garden again||
In one I recently got ||he didn’t look both ways and got hit by a chariot||
I wish they'd at least ||give you an option to visit and a softer death scene||
Lol
Is it a bad idea to go down all the paths in styx to hunt the last ||elite enemy I need for the prophecy||
Heck no do it up
I'm not sure what that means
It’s the minibosses
Do I get a medal of honour for beating the game without boons?
I know
I have all of them except the elite snakestone
You got 4 nectars above but I think it got cleared for spoilers :/
But yeah the ||garden always had me super determined to escape||
Oh ok
Me too!
Just make a new save
I mean I’m definitely not getting bored of the game now
||Currently getting bounties and working my way to heat 10 to get em4||
We need to petition. The devs owe us
I still need to do a talentless run
Yes
I want to beat Meg with no talents just to piss her off cause she said I depend on them
Same
Alright, I’m gonna try to beat the game talentless
Gl
Thanks
GL
I tried a boonless run before, harder than expected.
Even with maxed weapon lvl and the keepsake that increases your damage for what you have no boons in.
||I also felt kind of torn up when I reached the credits cause then she wouldn’t be at the garden and I thought the game was basically over||
||Boy was I wrong||
That’s technically a spoiler
He did hide it tho.
Yeah, you’d have had to have read the spoiler above though for it to spoil anything aha
Right
Doesn’t really mean anything if you just see that by itself
True
Also good luck for your no mirror run 🤞
Thanks
