A lot harder
The boonless run only took me 2 tries
This one will be brutal
The worst thing is that I’ll only have one dash
Anyway, see ya
Cya
Is it just me, or do visits with ||persephone|| get progressively shorter and shorter
i want to start ||heat runs||. which one gives me the least "trouble" ? 😄
Spoilertag ||heat||
And I would say a good starting point is ||Extreme measures or the timed one||
ty!
Although be warned, ||EM1|| is fairly difficult, but good to get used to imo
Final boss acknowledges it
Is Lambent Plume's time for encounters adjusted as you increase the heat?
I.e., if enemies now have 40% more health, do you have more time?
I just read the patch notes (big thanks to the team) to which I realized, ||EM3 doesn't have a tag team attack||
Well...that's a bummer. Seems like it makes that keepsake way less usable at higher heat :/
Battles already take longer from the outset of a run at heat 30. It's felt impossible to get a tick on the keepsake.
tbf, if it's adjusted to the amount of ||heat||, it makes it very easy to do high ||heat||
why go eris when you can be untouchable with plume + zag fist
oh man now I wanna max dodge run
brb
I don't think it would need to be scaling 1:1, but I only got 2 ticks on my way up last run. Sort of out of options to make it "faster" to slay folks at that point.
I just discovered a super weird interaction
||If you're fighting Hades and his casts hit one of the enemies he summons, it gets stuck in them and you can release the cast with aspect of poseidon.||
hey does artemis dashstrike boon affect malphons rolling knuckle ?
In the name of Hades! I hereby declare myself to be good at the game!
I beat the game talentless.
Eh? nice job.
Talentless means no mirror of night
I beat it with none of that
Where the heck is everyone?
idk
Bizarre
I'm used to servers always being active no matter the time.
Though it seems as though this one slows down a lot around this time.
it's night in the western hemisphere
NA is asleep, EU is not waking up
so that's probably one of the reasons
and not a lot of Asian people here (I'm probably one of the few)
asia gang here too
ah but im blasting sad anime EDs
I choose the latter
asia gang whats good
if i play hades im rlly never going to sleep
Same
despite rlly wanting too ... i just got new headphones soe im excited to hear the voice acting w/ the
them*
my old bluetooth headphones didnt have an aux cord so
the amount of active users in the server is far far smaller than the amount of people actually on this server. slow activity is pretty common here, especially around now 👁️ the hades channels stay more active in general but this is normal honestly
yeah theres a lot of people here that barely even talk in chat
im just here cuz none of my friends play this game & i need like. someone to talk to it abt lmao
the hades discussion channel is definitely a prime place to look for hades convo :v
Same. Although I've never said a word here lmao hey y'all🤣
Sounds not fun
Congratulations!
I couldn't deal with not having 2 dashes
here even though my friends play Hades because they smite me every time I post a success on ||high heats||
cause they can't 

I just cleared ||heat 3|| and it wasn't too bad but I can see how intense it can get potentially sense all that's left is aspects
but I'm a mere mortal
I can't get stronger just improve skill in the game other than that
That's wild
Is there a current record
current highest ||heat|| ever won is 60
hidden bow
Awesome. Only hidden ones I got so far is exagryph and the spear
they also used a mod
Oh
Like what kind of mod
im joking lol
bruh
they didnt use any mod
Ah lol
Wait like the dude who posted this month's challenge?
what astonished me on ||high heat run|| is that most successful run I've had are with weapons I dislike
Or does he call himself the same name as a joke?
Tailesque is the dude that posted this months challenge run yes
He also holds WR for multiple things
I always find it cool when im in discords with like "famous" for lack of a better word people even if I've yet to interact with them
Like I'm also in the ganondorf smash bros offical discord and like 3 of the 4 best ganon mains are in the server and I've talked to all of them at least once and then irl im buddies with the best roy player in Indiana
That's pretty cool
Hey I can tell zagreus is getting better on the lyre
A streamer read some of my chats once
It went from terrible to an actual note
Closest I've come to meeting fame
Progress. Just keep twanging that thing
my closest was playing alongside the streamer and messed with his timing

he was like "y u do dis, fluffy bun?"
Ive beaten the greatest Roy player in indiana's mii brawler
But enough famous people. Hades
I'll be completely honest I was playing for the first time, absolutely loved the game. It gave me Bastion vibes, didn't even check to see it was by the same people
I was able to talk to ||Bouldy|| for the first time yesterday
He and Sisyphus are my fave characters
Cerbie was my favorite character before ||Bouldy|| came along
now they share the top spot
I embarrassed a huge LOL streamer once heheh
Kicked his ass in a matchup he should've won handily and this was top 100 playerbase back in the day
now thats what i like to hear
I just realized something
Charon discount also affects Titan blood and diamond
Anyway, how likely is it that you get to borrow money from mid-shops
well it's RNG, just keep visiting the shop
1 in 3 chance every mid shop i believe
Reminds me of that one time I wanted to fight ||charon|| didn't get it, got so mad, I beat that time's PB

The power of spite
hi are there any house contractor stuff that unlocks more lore? or issit all cosmetic only? (besides the work orders)
not really, no
the lyre unlocks a very minor sidequest and the painting in the lounge unlocks a new line of dialogue but that's about it
Hi guys I decided to play a hades again. Now just need to wait for the download to finish

Guys
I discovered this
The pact does not affect the price of diamond and blood
Huzzah

regrettably the only Big-Name Streamer ive had read my chats is projared
yikes
ty
this is actually useful. will probs be the next on my heat list 🙂
CF is somewhat of a trap, don't rush into it while you can find heat elsewhere
wait i dont know any of the short forms HAHAHA.
||EM == emphatic measures (new forms to bosses), HL == hard labor (increased enemy damage), FO = forced overtime (increased enemy speed)||
||its extreme measures not emphatic||
woah i dont see how any of them are free heat. sounds scary.
||EM1-2 is honestly pretty easy once you get used to it||
oh yeah lol
im still at 1-2 heats for most of my weapons so im using uh ||jury and em1||
||JS is pretty good for inexperienced players||
||i'd recommend TD as well if you're not too slow||
definitely a learning curve but you'll get used to it once you run enough times with them
||TD is great for training yourself not to be slow||
||TD|| is kinda stressful 😊 ||i can clear most rounds in about 7minutes? but i usually take forever on hades, would suck to make it all the way then lose the round cos i OT, i assume thats how TD works||
||if you have leftover time from the previous regions, it gets added, so say you have TD1 which gives you 9 minutes per region, and you finish tartarus in 7 minutes. those remaining 2 minutes get added to the 9 minutes you're allowed with in asphodel||
ohhhhhh thats cool
||styx isnt that long anyway, usually||
side note ||it feels like the story is coming to a close with persephone asking me to stay in hades but ive been hoarding nectar to SIMP for than and have not progressed in archilles, nyx or orpheus's storylines welp||
oh also, to unlock ||hidden aspects, do i have to be equipping the 5 titan blood weapons when i speak to the respective gods? im assuming poseidon for sword, chaos for shield etc||
hmm i just met Theseus and Asterius, any advice or tips ?
nope
don't get hit 😅
keep aware of the timing theseus does on his spear launches
beat up asterius before even going for theseus at all
kite around the perimeter of the arena, dash to dodge the pink circle when it darkens
dash through, not away from asterius and spam backstab
lure asterius to wall, dash through him to stun when hes charging
^ and down asterius before getting theseus to half
at the start of his second phase during his god call, theseus is also totally vulnerable
the attacks aren't too hard to dodge but are still dangerous
Haha, I don't think anybody has ever called FO 'free heat' before
In fact, that's one of if not the last heat option I'd take
FO2 is almost untouchable
||FO2 flame wheels or numbskulls|| 😩
||Fo is never free heat|| but getting used to it definitely lessens it
The last|| heat|| you want is usually|| Routine Inspection||
I would honestly prefer ||RI|| to ||FO||
remember to spoiler the ||heats|| guys
i might start training myself to get used to ||FO2|| so I can finally tackle ||32 heat||
me reading these spoilers not knowing what's going on 
WTF guyz??? Zagreus is ||Demeter||'s ||grandson|| ?
||Kore||... so this is her actual name...
Yes
Wonder where all of this is going.
||Well her 'actual name' is still Persephone||
Good places
So this is why ||Zagreus has red blood. Because his grandfather was mortal||
||A person's 'actual name' is usually what they prefer to be called||
Uh... is this dangerous?
I am on my 9th clear
Please pity me don't spoil
Nothing dangerous here
Where are all of those ||grandmother|| memes lol
My sweet zaggy, you will eat all of those cookies or i will get really mad
When you ask your mother for money vs when you ask your grandmother for money
LOLL
Roger that sir. I think the game will end if i do that. The truth, credit roll, and those stuff.
Please do not correct me if i am wrong. Do not say anything. All of you.
Good luck
may the fates be on your side
I like your funny words, magic man
triple bomb ||lucifer|| has no right to be as fun as is it, wanna combine it with hazard bomb someday
https://twitter.com/Clanes_/status/1356789088540528640?s=19
Found a funny bug.
Good thing is that It didn't soft-lock me because doing any attack took me out of the animation.
guys is the story built on a real god's stories ?
The characters are based on the gods of Greek myth but the actual storyline is not
Also it's based on Greek myths which doesn't really have 1 canon anyway
its based on greek mythology but doesn't really follow any stories in the greek canons
Zagreus isn't one of Greg's OCs, if that's what you're wondering
He was an actual god
Just an incredibly obscure one
Zag is Dio is some versions
Is there an OC in this game?

greek myths are just like that, myths, they're not one specific overarching story, just a blob of amorphous sludge made up of local myths
No OCs
Dusa?
It's kind of hard to discuss Zagreus' origins without spoiling the game because a lot of it comes through in references
Is Dusa not just... Medusa? Maid Dusa?
Her name is a pun
Zag is just weird in real life myth lol
Same with Dionisus tbh
remember when dionisus has basically a murderous cult in a mountain?
probably Bouldy then 
In some interpretations Zagreus was a son of Hades, in others he WAS Hades, in others a random chthonic hunting god, in others a form of Dionysus... etc. etc.
yeah that happened
There's no 'basically' when it comes to the murderousness of the maenads
They tore people and animals apart during orgiastic rituals
Regularly
Well it's ancient people
i tried to make it less horible
the fact there is no Aspect of Heracles is weird tho
if "dryads" are pretty much everywhere and they have different names depending on their domains, what would eurydice be called? a chthonad?
like Heracles should have a boe Aspect or something
Any tips for using shields
Block and smash
Died on no heat
?
Constantly bull rush because it's really fun?
Special Ares
What’s the boon
eurydice is a wood nymph
so... dryad
Open the codex
it should show you what boons are required
plan your own stuffs
for me i just athena attack and dash with ares special
i mean she is technically a wood nymph but now that she's in the underworld then what?
if i get their Duo it's ggez
i mean. she died, not technically living
best hammer is like the one makes you charge your shield faster and the one blocking gives mote famage i think?
at least for me i like those 2
oh and explosive return
exists***
@flat halo that is how i used it at least
explosive return is really only good on chaos
@versed vessel that’s the literal boons I got
I mean hammers
Well then there is only one thing left
scroll up i talked about boons
or just hunting blade it works on everything that isn't Beowulf
I underestimated demeter cast
once demeter cast gets going, it gets going
esp with the one duo that tracks enemies
I still don't like that cast much tbh
glacial glare is amazing if you have stygian soul and scales amazingly with poms
Yeah stygian soul made it great
but what do i know i always use Poseidon 
if i have mirage shot and glacial glare do the duplicate beams still apply chill?
i dont think so but its been a while since i've used it
bad news tacked on also makes it good
doing a special only run and ||bouldy|| gives me an attack bonus :')
||
||
this is terrible
ive only just realised this now
didnt even get triple bomb
what a ripoff
R u using ||lucy||?
yes
with ares on special
with how spread out enemies are in elysium i probably shouldnt have added ||FO1||
||yoo what about hades return to the underworld where like zagreus gets stuck on the surface and has to fight real life stuff to get back to his home||
||beyblade, let it rip||
||this is an interesting idea but a plot hole is he could just get himself killed and be sent back there anyway haha||
wait really? i figured infernal soul is better because like... 3 laser beams vs 1
ohh like he cant die ||on the surface|| anymore??
you have to wait for the beams to expire though
||he can but he respawns on the surface only, in persephone's garden probably||
and if you get grasp from chaos infernal is pretty much outclassed by stygian already
i finished the special "only" hidden rail run
ohh interesting
oo nice!! i still am not used to using that aspect's special
why is the helth reduction so much
you can also get bad news from hermes which causes casts to deal more damage against enemies that don't have bloodstones lodged in them, and you can guess what that means for stuff like trippy shot, slicing shot and crystal beam
ah that makes sense
dont treat it like the other rails' specials. its more of a mine than an icbm
the chain reaction of explosions is fun
i mostly relied on doom to do the bulk of my damage against bosses though
Henlo
if you can get it with triple bomb and artemis special it's a good example
i didnt get triple bomb 😔
and i didnt even get the ares boon that lets you stack additional damage to your doom
F
So, I have the perfect idea for DLC that should be added to this game.
Hear me out:
Event and Dialogue Pack: Adds even more dialogue to the game
i just got to ||hades and he didnt fight me, he just gave me the blood. no end card came up with the times, what if that happened on a run?||
||and im curious as to what will happen after this||
keep going!
okay c:
That happened to me on one of the best builds I've ever had. I was so salty lol
lool rip
hello :)
maybe i shouldnt take ME for hidden sword
bad idea
esp with my only athena is on special
I’m semi-new here
all you need to know: malphon and exagryph are the two best weapons
Punch and gun
ye
Zeus still owes me the secret rail aspect
no
the bow is literally the most garbage weapon in the game
Debatable
the sword is pretty good tho
sounds like someone who hasnt fully utilised the bow to its full extent
EXCUSE ME WHAT
WHATTTTTT
yeah i did, its full extent is letting you down constantly
@grand shale blocking you rn btw
Bow gang rise
1 blocked message
arthur sword is good
ay but fr tho. what drugs are you taking to make you think the bow is a good weapon
all of the swords are decent
except poseidon
i like eris and hidden rail, they're neat
o wait i just read ur name
The bow is my favorite weapon, not just because of the possibilities but also the gameplay involved. Having to calculate and position yourself for the shots instead of spamming mindlessly. The spear is a close second
chiron bow melts through bosses lmao
hera bow + trippy shot clears rooms in under like 10 seconds
lance?
||Rama|| bow is my favorite
It is so much fun
Also learning how to powershot is important with the bow
ah yeah haha, sohuldve guessed
i couldnt get used to the hidden bow
the charge is too slow for me
then again, i never maxed it out
so i couldnt use it to the fullest extent either
for me personally, learning not to powershot, was important
i was powershotting way too much
dash strikes are literally the only thing you should do on most bows
Powershotting with rama is scary but for other weapons its good
ehh
Ive stopped powershot with ||rama|| but with hera and zag bow i do
yeah yeah
aw but i like powershotting
Also never take twin shot with chrion
though i guess it is unneeded for chiron
I took it yesterday and it was miserable
one issue i have with the bow is that my inputs sometimes dont click
like right after i dash i cant immediately shoot
is that like, actually a feature or is my inputs just not registering
yeah, but talos fists do it better
You can only dash strike twice in a row
hol up lemme just copy your name scheme
hera bow aoe though???
That happened with rama for me and I was so freaked hout
does talos AOE?
ah really? that explains it then
Talos is like the worst aspect of fists
like does it pull in multiple enemies
i was going insane
or only one
Its that way for every weapon
eh
comparing talos to chiron is like comparing a sword to a gun
chiron provides range
you can be farther from final boss' attacks
i mean i havent seen the secret fists aspect yet but so far its my fav fists aspect
or hell, any boss' attacks
can talos pull in multiple enemies?
i dont think so
nope, only one at a time
rip
talos is worst fists yeah
nah
demeter is best
same
demeter is aight but i prefer talos
For every weapon you can only dash strike twice in a row. Thats why for things like nemesis speedruns(where dash striking is critical) speedrunners go for hermes dashes. So out of most of the options from hermes I normally take dash boons
talos doesnt
yeah and so does the rail
Demeter with ME is op
rail gang
rail doesnt melt through bosses
I love the rail
unless you have good hammers
i used to think the rail was garbage but it gud
also if you like the rail
Ummm have you heard of eris?
you shouldnt hate the bow
thats diff
lol
but still
rail and bow arent that different really
I have done most everything in this game with eris
yeah they are
both have an aim attack, and a normal attack
wait for the violent past prophecy what are the conditions?
you buy the aspect?
you complete a run with it?
you max it?
which one counts
one is actually good and the other is the bow 
Like all my achievments are with eris so I have like a connection to it
Same
eris also broke my 7 streak last run
but thats out of the way for now
fo2 final boss hits hard yo
i don't remember what my first sub 15 was
Almost got a new pb with eris but died to ||hades||
i think it was eris tho
literally same
I was about to get 10:30 but then his lasers screwed me over
I was very overconfident and didnt have the acorn on
I was full agro which might have not been the best idea
I had the hourglass keepsake to speed up styx
took some other keepsake, was overconfident, was about to get pb, died to lasers, was too aggressive
But I think I can do it again with rocket bomb and cluster
I literally need rocket bomb to have a good eris run
hm
i'm conflicted right now
do i take extra cast or +51% cast damage
talos aphro cast
abyssal soul
aphrodite cast
I normally go extra casts but thats for hera bow
idk if i'll be able to get off all 4 casts in the time that they're close enough from magnet
or if the more damage would just be better
question, do sword beams from the piercing wave hammer get affected by crit chance bonuses? and if they do, does that include the crits from deadly strike and/or cruel thrust?
idk
yeah ill admit hera bow looks cool but rn im focused on getting hidden aspects for fist and rail
ok
Rail hidden aspect is at first underwhelming
And fist hidden aspect is really heavy
Is there any info on if Hades is coming to the other consoles?
i doubt that they wouldnt add it to other consoles
i mean they specifically say its best played with a controller
WAIT NO WAY Im in math class rn and the teacher just mentioned asymptotes and then i check your username lmao
huh
yeah ikr
i just realized how busted aspect of nemesis is
Its good if you dash strike a lot
anyways back to hidden aspects, I find guan yu hard to use but got a clear first try using arthur
yeah i picked up artemis dash, poseidon attack and ares special. not really going for any builds, just trying to get as many artemis boons as i can
yea guan yu was pretty tough lvl 1 but once its maxed if you get lucky with the daedulus spin charge talent its pretty good
Yes arty dash is best on nemesis
though i should’ve probably gone for aphro special for heart rend
I somehow managed to escape with guan yu at lvl one. I just special spammed with charged skewer
It was insane with pierced butterfly
Probably try and go for arty attack next time
yeah i just happened to get poseidon and thought it would be fun
lucifer with zeus bolts or dionysus hangover is actually insane
||lucifer|| with dire misfortune
also i'm pretty sure that you have to spoiler the hidden aspects @upper elm
SEA STORM BABY
im gonna pretend i didnt just hear a possible hidden aspect name
but seriously how do you go about using ||guan yu?||
Special spam
so like sword
And use pierced butterfly. It forces you not to take damage
man i hate that keepsake
Also you need the charged skewer hammer to make this work
its very rewarding
i only ever use lucky tooth, acorn, and like, chaos egg or another god keepsake
I had a lot of fun using that build
Same tbh
Lucky Tooth is my fave, but I'll use a different keepsake if I'm tryin to do something specific. Like complete a quest or whatnot.
hermes is actually really good for gy too
i use the feather duster for asphodel/elysium
I got like +30 percent damage with butterfly
The feather duster is like literally garbage
Hello, someone try to scamed me using this Discord (he joined, add friend and then do is scam). Is name is JohnnyPO30 (he is no longer in the Discord).
it is but the ability to heal is too good for me to pass up
it can be useful when you dont have high levels in the mirror
i guess
Ive never used it
But the percentage is like really bad
Yea that’s true but there are pots in every chamber so it helps out a bit
Go acorn if you have trouble at bosses
Laughs in hermes
My favorite build I have ran so far is the magnetic fist with the Poseidon special boon. It’s hilarious seeing enemies getting pulled toward you and then bopped away
razor shoals my beloved
i enjoy the headphone integration with hades but ill swear my headphones sound broken because orphy’s song will only play on one ear :^)
the audio always gets out of sync whenever i play with headphones
yessss
Eris + tidal dash
I love it
At high heat probably not but for lower heat it is really good
yeah the highest heat ive ever cleared is 5 so i guess
i swear this dumn talos build is going to kill me
rip my streak
just give me blown kiss already man
what is the build
talos with aphrodite cast
i heard that that is pretty good
em 3 shredded me
aaand i don't even get artemis in styx
aphro cast isnt that bad
rip exit wounds
rip
aphro cast on hera
aphro cast on hera is nasty
yeah
or you can just use demeter cast and get lucky
there will just be a bunch of crystals everywhere
and somehow i missed my meg on the snakestone
though i only ever run into chaos like 3x a run at most
i didnt even get the time to read it
aaand acorn is already gone
uh oh
okay phase 2 50 hp
no way
bruuu
i had a hades fight go just like that and i got through but what weapon you got
damn
aphro cast
what cast
no blown kiss
k
Ok hear me out…Thanatos is a tsundere
maybe
Yeah, we know
thanatos is absolutely a tsundere and no one can deny it
tsunatos
no uwu
oh keepsakes
it usually goes god keepsake in tart into god keepsake in asphodel, and then acorn and acorn in elysium and styx
or if youre decent at the game and can easily beat elysium and styx bosses, you can take charon's keepsake in last two regions
yeah i just mained the +50 max hp one, i just unlocked the last one and im going through them to get them all to 3 stars
doesnt really take long to max one
Dogggo boon
I mean keepsake
i like taking butterfly or plume for meme runs
and trying to get it as high as possible
Yep god keepsake in tart, god keespake in asphodel, purse/hourglass in elysium and acorn normally in styx
Unless Im going hermes keepsake or than keepsake
I wonder how crazy the movement/optimization will get in this game in a few years
the doggo keepsake was the first one i got and i never switched it all the way through until credits
My usual run goes ||pom flower|| for tartarus and asphodel, then a god's keepsake (for a god that I didn't get yet, to improve the Family Favorite mirror talent. If I already met around 4 gods before asphodel, I might change the keepsake at this time).
For the final keepsake, the teeth if not feeling very confident or just to be sure. Otherwise, I'll use Charon's or even another god's
Any news on other after release content?
i generally just go for a god keepsake for the first 2 areas, then i either get another god trinket or ||pom flower|| for 3rd, and then whether or not i switch to tooth or keep ||pom|| is how many dds i have
usually I liked to use the butterfly or plume, but now that I'm trying a ||32 heat run|| ive been starting out with shackle and then switching to skelly/purse/collar/||pom|| as needed
i only ever use plume if im doing an evade build
the highest ibe gotten overall for evade is like 64
i like to go speedy quick :-) im not good at doing specific builds though lol
when I first saw the cosmetic upgrades for the house i was like pfff what a waste of gems. now i must have all of them
I’m getting pretty close to maxing all house upgrades
I think I’m just missing the throne and ||UI themes|| now
if i jump to clear at ||heat 8 (for this new skelly trinket thing)||, can i still get ||bounties|| from 1-7?
I typically run a boon related keepsake for the first one or two areas depending on how lucky I am with my build. Then I'll throw on the Purse or the ||Pom Flower|| depending on my money situation, and for the fourth one I almost always use the Hourglass for maximum effectiveness for the wells.
Yes, if you haven't gotten ||the bounties for 1 heat, you can clear the game at 8 heat and it will only give you the bounties for 1 heat since that's all you've unlocked. You could run it again at 8 heat for the next run and you'd get the 2 heat bounties for that run.||
Hi guys I just play a bit more of hades today. So far in the game I didn't have any crash yet.
ahhh thanks! was hoping it would count as a ||clear for heat 8 so i dont have to do 8 again|| 😛
I know they don’t allow gifs being posted, so please click on this, because this dumb joke popped into my head.
When you’re facing Skull-Crushers:
https://images.app.goo.gl/hAQoNCDobFQBi5X8A
i have every standard keepsake but i don't have the achievement
do you guys pronounce daedalus as day-dal-us or de-dal-us?
Keep playing the game
They say the first one in game
Dedalus
what's up with the hippogryph's special changing the aim? is my controller messed up?
ive read it as day-dalus but i already knew how to say it
Dyntos Hammer
are there any programs to extract the files and make them viewable? i wanna see what all the 3d models look like
Zagreus is 2d 
He's actually a 3d model made to look 2d
yeah thats pretty much every charectar im pretty sure
Does zag have an australian accent? I cant tell since english is not my first language
wait what
no
zag is 2d
thats why skins arent and probably wont be a thing
Also dunno if it's the "mate" that make him sound like an australian or he actually is talking with that accent
Hades is a 2D game with no real-time 3D rendering. That means every single frame of Zagreus animation exists as a unique image.
greg said that in a steam forum
I think it's meant to be a slight British accent
Got it, thanks

wait no in one of the noclip videos you can see an animator working on a 3d animation of zag
those are are for after
so they are done in 3d and then implemented in 2d?
i believe
like she literally took them after the game and recreated them pretty much
Seems like a lot of extra effort
I feel like they could just put the 3D model in the game and render it in real time instead
i'm playing with ||extreme measures|| for the first time, and i didn't notice any difference in any fights except for the first one, that had ||all 3 sisters||. i just killed ||theseus and the minotaur|| and didnt notice anything there or with the ||bone hyrda||
each level affects another boss
ohhhh
Is this and the absolute insane amount of voiced lines of dialogue why the file size for this game is so huge?
||em1 only affects meg, em2 affects meg and lernie||
i thought it affected all of them but each tier just affected them more
that's... a lot of frames of animation 

thanks for sharing!! super interesting
thank greg for the info
Okay so no zag skins buuuuuut
for now at least
and Darren said something like there's 22,000 lines of dialogue
Does this also mean no additional weapon aspects?
This might be what I love the most about the game
well they havent said anything about the future of the game
@celest saddle since you were the one who asked
hades is great - it should be way more popular
how
|| on each side
i mean it is doing pretty well 👀
there
thx
learn the patterns
Does the Storyteller have a big Vincent Price vibe to anyone else? Almost feels like he may have been an inspiration.
attacks have an animation, letting you know whats about to happen
I believe there are some hints, but isnt revelead who it actually is
i should have thought about that myself 
||whenever he tries to do spin move, try dashing when he attacks, not dashing out of the way||
big dumb, i am
Hints? Meaning the actual VA or who the Storyteller actually is?
the storyteller
||i usually use shield||
I just meant the voice style. Not persona.
Oh what. Can I get some direction on those? 👀
what
Meaning whatever those hints are?
||should i use sound or is none fine||
@brisk trail - as the above said, it really comes down to familiarizing yourself with their moves. Same as the others.
well know is an old man
If you want a breakdown of all of them, the easiest route would be looking it up, ultimately.
or at least thats what zag calls him
in the wiki
there are a list of attacks
some people say homer
some have said cronus
hey I got a question
well thanks I will do some research and come back
is buff
It's when your weapons glow.
Gives you +20% darkness.
Thx
each time in the house, a random weapon will give you more darkness and gems when upgraded
is to encourage using different weapons
dark thirst is random as well
do you guys prefer chthonic vitality or dark regeneration
dark regeneration
no plans indicating so, no
What is everyones favorite weapon ||and aspect||
thats a different one
how would hades coop even work
2 people instead of one
they would need to make changes to difficulty
Instead of 1 player you have 2 players
chthonic vitality is the one that heals 3 hp per room
thats the one i like
coop would be killing your friends
Double the enemies, share the progress of your host
Pretty straightforward
oh yeah it only goes up to 3, didnt know
i also use cthonic
trash then
they have said they made hades with a single player mentality, and they arent changing that
||double the hades for double the pain||
oh yeah
dark regen is good because bosses give you a bunch of darkness which lets you heal a bunch
but after styx is useless
chthonic vitality is nice for styx.. provided you can get that far
lol
aint that a spoiler
chthonic vitality is nice for the whole game
only stuff past styx is a spoiler
its only 3 hearts though
per room
tf?
i mentioned styx because is the place where you dont get darkness anymore
3 hearts per room is like what, 15hp per whole place
constant hp
yeah you cant switch darkness mid run so before styx its useless
not having to rely on finding darkness
plus darker darkness gives a nice max health boost too
i used to run the mirror thing where gold laurels are more common, so it makes it even less effective
youre talking about finding darkness when you need healing, what if when you find the darkness you dont need the healing
idk i feel is way too situational
i rather the constant hp
does getting 3hp for the next room literally even save you from 1 hit though
like i feel like 3 extra hp for the next room is pretty useless
Isnt supposed to be a saving talent
Thats what dd is
Is a sustain talent
Theres no better one
Is literally opinion based
I just feel relying on finding darkness makes it bad already, and on top of that, you might find the darkness when you don't even need it
Thats a no for me
true
imo it's better than being healed for 3hp each encounter. like to me personally that's next to nothing, 1 hit will get you for more than that. unless you're a god at dodging in styx and can rack up the hp then i feel like its useless
Thats understandable
They did a good job at balancing stuff, make it so everyone can pick their own stuff without the "this is obviously better"
Like the undamaged talent, I thought that had way less potential than backstab, until you're speedrunning, then it kinda sounds amazing
yeah
now i got new headphones i can proceed to spend half an hour at eurydice's just listening to her. again
||In styx it is basically take a hit per room and get free stuff for no damage||
For me at least bc I suck and play on god mode
the big chambers at the end can wreck me though 😬
Cause is constant
I’m not sure how to feel about the fact that, whenever Dusa whispers to Megaera in the lounge, it has some minor ASMR qualities with headphones on.
I find the best use of the other talent is in a run where you’ve already collected the bosses’ rewards and get darkness instead. It’s essentially extra healing after each boss.
just lost two death defiances on the butterfly miniboss... this is why i never use the bow T-T
More healing is always good. Also, I said the best use. I prefer +3 health each room as well.
Bow is the best.
Master repeatedly dash-shooting
I almost never shoot normally with the bow.
utter blasphemy
I completed my ||Heat 32||, no boons, and no mirror runs with the bow.(three separate runs)
It’s dabes.
But yes I too disliked it initially
Master spamming dash-shot
Or try and shoot for getting the flurry shot upgrade from the hammer if you can’t.
godammit i died before even getting to thesus & asterius uugGGH there goes my streak
It happens. Sorry to hear regardless.
the bow is a weapon for ppl w/ actual dexterity unlike me whose ideal build is spam special to win lmao
yeah special spam
best runs have been where i just buffed my special to insane degrees
mine too
Have you tried Chiron aspect?
with like talos aspect
i dont know what the chiron aspect is lol
It needs to be upgraded before it’s any good
i dont know the names of literally nanything
i was using the aspect of hera i think?
The one where, after shooting a foe, your special shots home in.
the one where it loads a cast onto my attack
Yes that’s hera.
yea ihaven't tried chiron cuz i dont see how that's a buff?
seems medirce but also haven;t tried it
Because you can just spam a flachette storm of arrows that home in.
ohhhhhhh
But you need to upgrade it first.
i.e. spam special to win lmao
Pretty much yes
Best bow aspect is the hidden one imo, but you’d probably dislike it because shots take even longer to charge with it.
bruh i finaly unlocked the hidden aspect of the spear but the drawbacks r like way too terrible for it to be usable for me 
You know its gonna be a good run when you get hunting blades as early as Tartarus 
The thing that disappoints me most about it is that, on paper, it should be my favorite weapon in the game.
But in practice it’s unwieldy
the attacks look VERY cool but i can't use a weapon that ||gives me only 30 health to work with||
Is it just me or does hidden spear special sound like leather
Like, rubbing leather
Or something
lmao
Sounds like fireworks to me
(The fizzling kind)
It’s kinda good when you have it fully upgraded, trash in the beginning tho
I guess it’s more fun to play than anything else
Hidden spear is the only hidden aspect i havent reached the surface with
I heard special is the way to go though
Special and speen when you can get away with it
I found aphro special and Athena attack works best for me
just got an 18min pog
yea it looks like the upgrades mostly ||reduce the massive debuff it gives you|| but idk if im willing to just dump a bunch of titans blood for an aspect i might like
I mean
True
You can just invest the blood
Then give up the run if you dont like it
You'll get the blood back
Yeah just dont go back to your bedroom after investing the blood
when you click give up in the esc menu, it sends you back to your last autosave in the house of hades
which doesnt include any interactions you've had with the keepsake drawer or the weapons
||imagine constantly fighting to the death with your dad and then casually talking like it never happened||
LMAO ||first time i beat hades and he just. didnt acknowledge it i was like did his memories get magically wiped or...||
||i think the first time you kill him he refuses to acknowledge it and (spoiler:) later when you kill him more times and get past the credits he gets more friendly with you and it's a nice dynamic||
just spoiler that lol
if it's a spoiler spoiler it lmao
im pretty sure they know how to since they did it a message before
i thought i spoilered the whole thing sorry
I was really confused about that at first, ||but I suppose he’s just refusing to acknowledge his defeat which would give Zag the chance to rub it in his face||
just got to 17 minutes with 5 heat
is there a channel for suggestions?
Like game suggestion?
Idk tech support mabye
wouldn't hurt to have the money jars autobreak on encounter clear. having to scan each room after clearing doesnt really add much fun to my runs.
While I see your point
I think finding them and breaking them adds like a little mini game challenge
Maybe add it as an option
Part of God mode even?
But to be fair, you dont HAVE TO
could be opt in, i prefer my time be spent playing
Is just a bonus, so I dont see why it would be automatic
When should I start doing runs where I save money for styx shop
Sort of it "want more? Then earn it"
Always
Ok
tell that to my 14 obols by the temple because i spent it all on 3 kisses of styx
Back to this i dont see it happening because of it
Well thats an emergency buy
