I had seeking crystal beam with 5 bloodstones a couple runs back 
Fun times
mhm, especially with a few boosts i had like 30% billowing strength and art call, so with it all combined, it charged super fast.
Nice
I think altogether I was doing like... up to 120% extra total damage
Ooo
people I have a doubt
I've caught 161 fish and I didn't find any legendary and is it so hard to catch one?
there is a max of 3 fake bobs so if you can wait, on the 4th bob its guaranteed a catch, so it would be easier to react to that
Also, a long pause will only lead to a fake bob
which is why you have to be ready immediately after casting the line
really? ive caught like 3 scyllacion at this point, ive only caught 62 fish
interesting
but yea for me im not particularly good at fishing, ive never caught a seamare, and i need 1 voidskate and projelly for complete codex
Man I kinda got addicted to the game for 2 days any tips to stop thinking about the game 24/7?
Try don't see at screen when you fishing and orient at splash sound
It's work for me
I have like
The exact opposite problem
I caught more Scyllascions than I have Hellfish, and I have caught absolutely no Slavugs
I haven't found the Common Chaos Fish either, whatever it is
get bad
Wtf no slavugs??
Defying the odds lol
I wish Orpheus would always sing the Hymn to Zagreus when you ask him to play it
I love him hes my fave
He reminds me of Robert Smith
I'm too good at fishing
Pokemon absolutely ruined me.
I thought pressing the button sooner would get me better pokemon
But it didn't
And now I'm a master at pressing a button as soon as a sound cue and/or visual stimuli shows up
I have perfected the Quick Time Event and I did not ask for it.
Yee I love fishing in WoW so fishing Hades is also pretty comfy to me
In Hades is the rarity of the fish you get influenced by how fast you press the catch button when its time?
Yep
If you press the button before a third of a second, you have a 50% chance of getting a Legendary Fish
Interesting i wouldn't have guessed tbh i thought it was just the area you're in + chance
Woah
I must not press it as fast as i think then lol
Yeah. Believe it or not, the chance is actually supposed to be 1/21, according to the Wiki, but the devs just left the bug in because they were pleased with how the fishing worked regardless.
Fun fact: Boon leveling in Hades is kind of jank, whenever you level up a boon, you actually get an additional copy of that boon. This is just a very strange way of implementing a mechanic like this and it leads to some jank stuff like a chaos boon showing up as “level 2” in the ||administrative chamber|| boon list for an escape attempt if you have 2 boons with the same curse and blessing
I think the only Legendary fish I really have a problem getting are Seamares in Elysium. Mostly due to Lethe's cloud water blending in with the fishing light too well
i find styx fish to be really annoying to catch
maybe because there's a low chance of the fish actually appearing and when it does appear you get one chance to catch it
I literally get a styx fish every run
So like anytime u upgrade a boon it's giving you hidden copies lol
The Greece fish (Trout, Bass, Sturgeon) I encounter far too infrequently to get a good grasp of how much I get, but I do know I only recently caught a Trout after catching two Bass and a Sturgeon
Sturgeon is the leggy fish
I am not fast enough for fish :B
Gotta speed
I got that uhhhhh narwhal one once that was exciting
Stonewhal
Yes 
I lost to charon for the first time yesterday and got new dialogue
I'm having a bit of a problem with rapid-attack weapons, currently the spear with Flurry Jab, where I try to just do a dash attack, but then it throws in another attack after that, long after I've stopped pressing the attack button.
Is there a good way to prevent that?
It's really messing with my mobility
i have the same issue a lot
you just have to be more mindful abt your button smashing
Even without any kind of mashing.. i just tap the two buttons together, and I still get that stray extra attack
actually if you tap it very quickly then it does just the dash-strike
that happens to me too with weapons with a very fast attack sequence
you have to tap VERY quickly so it doesn't queue up another attack
Does anyone have tips for the witches circle fight, or is it just impossible to do without losing too much health
it's basically a bullet hell segment, you really want to observe the pattern and dash/run through what you can
but it depends on what sort of boons/weapons you have
any source of deflect basically trivializes it. Knockback can let you shove them around into a more convenient configuration if you're lucky. Powerful casts or other ranged attacks can help nuke them before they become too troublesome, eliminating one or two quickly can help a lot
I see... I find myself suddenly in the centre taking damage from all sides, maybe I’ll just have to focus on them one by one and stick to sides?
Also for the blasted doom stone fight would you recommend clearing the small ones or just rush down the big one
If I don't have deflect, I usually try to run around the outside to gather them up in the middle
then they're a bit easier to deal with when all the shots are coming from the same place
That makes sense, thanks!
doomstone is easier if you have attacks that can hurt multiple opponents
otherwise focus on the big one and take out smaller ones if they become too much of a problem imo
Do you lose any iframes between consecutive dashes?
I know dash-strikes remove iframes.
which god do you think has the least synergy with themselves
like which god is the least busted asssuming you have every single one of their boons
(not including duo)
i'd say probably aphrodite honestly
aphrodite IMO
Yeah probably
The leggy is fun to use tho
on the other end, full poseidon is ridiculous
poseidon has infinite knockbacks
yeah
zeus has all the lightning stuff
artemis basically guarantees crits at that point
maybe athena as well
brilliant riposte isn't really a synergy thing
blinding flash too
and the 2 dds aren't synergy at all
dio might actually work against himself
because like peer pressure overrides high hangover stacks with low hangover stacks
or something
demeter legendary and arctic blast do all the work
hermes hyper sprint rush delivery greater haste
sorry to butt into your convo, but what is an "oh no" moment in Hades? Like what moment do you really hate in Hades because it's really hard or scary or something like that.
it's fine lol
Em3 fo2 heroes fight
Scariest thing in the game
which is FO2?
there's so many ways that erebus gates can go wrong with benefits package
Forced overtime
oh
But losing an erebus gate isnt the end of the world
yeah but it just sucks sometimes
Yeah
the main thing i'm usually using erebus gates for is to get gods into my pool early in tartarus
But em3 fo2 minotaur is scawy
like if i'm trying to go for heart rend i want aphrodite as fast as possible in my god pool
so a erebus gate with aphro in tartarus would essentially make my run
I also try and get big health in high heat runs
Makes sd recover more
I don't know the names of the floors, which one is erebus?
the special high heat rooms
you're probably not far enough into the game to see them yet
or to have experienced them
if you're asking that question
ohhh nooo I took that chaos boon that takes out ur healtj when you use your special but oh my God I didn't get enough encounters and now I have to fight lernie with a weak attack and no special God help me 
no i just know them by walled, lava place, green place, cerby werby room, rat chambers, and snowy.
I literally got a 157% attack buff on my special this could've been a golden rail special run but I've had terrible luck lmao
plus the inbetweens with fountains
ohhh nooo I bought the Anvil to fill out my codex and because I'm not using my attack/special much anyway, but it gave me Cursed Slash (-60% health)!
oh nooo
it turned out okay though
yeah then you haven't seen them yet
my poseidon dash was so OP by then that it didn't matter
I really like cursed slash if you get it early and have enough time to build up your health
yeah probably, i was just looking for meme potential
I got thru the lhydra fight without dying but it TOOK SO LONG jfc never doin this again
lesson learned

The compulsively-playable game Hades is set in the underwo...

what if athena had a boon that also makes reflected projectiles automatically ricochet towards enemies?
deflected projectiles already automatically go to its sender
you can one shot witches in elysium if you deflect a cluster
sometimes they don't actually go in the direction of the sender
what if you could deflect one of those arrow traps in elysium and it automatically bounces to the nearest shade
(Story spoilers in the video, for those who haven't completed the game)
Here’s the nemesis art https://dianaii.tumblr.com/post/637136287490555905/nemesis-hera-original-concepts
I really love how they made her kinda similar to Thanatos and Hypnos like since they are siblings and the hades sigil on her sword is a nice touch
Nemesis, Vengeance Incarnate sounds cool
Do I have internet?
I’m not sure if nemesis is a chthonic god now that I think about it but it would make sense, the whole deal with the afterlife sorting system is meant to be giving people what they deserve for the way their lived their life
and with that, all aspects of all weapons are maxed out~
lmao Charon just murdered me for the first time
If all my Olympian Gods are at 6 hearts, exactly how much Ambrosia would it take to max out the relationship for all of them fully? Is it 10? Does ||Demeter|| only have 7 hearts, or is it 8 hearts like Hermes? Do any of the hearts take more than one Ambrosia to unlock like it did with ||Dusa||? If they all only have one more heart except Hermes who has two more, and all of them only take one Ambrosia, that would be 10 Ambrosia total, right?
I think I just got really really lucky with my Chaos boon lol XD
Epic enshrouding lunge - can't see the next 5 chamber rewards, but after that it's +95% dmg with my dash-strike.
my play style is mainly dash dash dash XD
and this is with shield \0/
and it's my 1st boon after the starter boon
looks like it could be a fun run 😄
you can literally get to epilogue without even touching the pact once
so it's designed to be doable with the 6 ambrosia you get from 0 heat clears
so just 6
pact is fun at times
But I want to max them all
that would be either 9 or 10
Okay, thanks
because ||demeter heart lock counts towards the epilogue, and you cant complete her favor until after epilogue||
yes, through trading
I’ve done almost everything else in the game besides the epilogue
I couldn’t have done that I used all mine on Thanatos first haha
I have qucik question, a short time before I ve beat Hades . Only sword is unlocked, will I be able to aspect up or I need to have multiple runs?
Only things I haven’t done are max Olympian relationships, claim bounties 15-20 on all weapons, and max out Resource Manager title
I’ve done literally everything else
🤔 Ive absolutly forgot...If I need all weapons or beat Hades.
I’m 99% sure you need to clear the game at least once with each weapon to unlock aspects
I m positive I dont need all weapons clear 🤔
⬅️ or ➡️
....
guh, it's always the first choice that trips me up after choosing a "don't show rewards" curse boon lol
I m pretty sure Ive cleared with aspect bow as my first bow clear on different ifile
don't need clear on all
I took forever to get a clear on my bow & I had aspects on my other weapons before that
no, you only need to unlock all weapons and talk to skelly
Well when I cleared it with each weapon once for the first time it unlocked for me
Soo I can clear the game below 40 mins but I still dont get aspects..that sucks :(.. Oh well thanks folks.
Then again I unlocked rail and subsequently beat the game with it first run
unlock all weapons, complete a run, talk to skelly
just enjoy the game
||the hidden aspects do require meeting the final boss, but beating him is not required||
Ehm 🤔 guess time to move to different game then...Too much stress that I would die withnout aspects. 
what do you mean by that
getting the aspects to show up is simply unlocking all weapons and talking to skelly
nothing more
what
but.. turn on god mode if you really worry >.>
but everybody dies here
I dont want to lose my deadless hellmode file to death
thats the entire point
Singer's Gamble: Broken
aha
i'm so happy that Orphevs is happy
then just try your best
Completely deathless? Like you got to hades and killed him without dying once?
technically there is no deathless file
ye..You can see screenshot in victory boasting 🤷♂️
you end up with a death everytime
Holy
well technically I still did died due to story
Its not that hard actually, just god manipulation and reseting until you get the correct RNG
You beat the game with level zero zag sword, no mirror talents, In Hell Mode? Without dying?
Ohhh so it wasn’t like all the same run
dont think ive ever caught a seamare tbh
reset until you get merciful end
initial hell mode heat modifiers arent that scary without other ones anyway
guys what is the final heat modifier
The no invincibility frames murdered me
is it worth it
@hollow kettle its the same run.. Its just if you die you reset and try again. Sooner or later you get boons you need and/or play it good enough.. I think it only took me like 370 resets no big deal.
hmmm..
empowering flight, dread flight or sudden rush?
I mainly dash-strike XD
I’m surrounded by elite gamers and I am a mere pleb
Wow, EM3 knocked out 6 of my defiance... caught me off guard big time
I know the feeling 😄
SIX?
How did you get six death defiance tell me
you have SIX DDs?
Question
After I defeated Hades, Skelly has been late in showing up in the courtyard
3 during asterius solo, 3 after refill with patroclus
Why?
lmao
yeah EM3 can be a pain if you are unprepared
I've had 5 at once 🤔
If It make you happy I havent beaten P3 of Hades.
I went like nope nope nope Id rather kick your ass on fresh file.
EM4 is death
What’s P3?
Phase 3.
don't remember what it was, but it was something that said it'd give me a death defiance & I thought it meant refill, but nope, I got a full dd extra & then I got lucky tooth so I had those + the 3 from mirror
Ohh, em4 i guess
ye
that's what it was!
I bet people have done Extreme Measures Hades in hell mode
Havent got there yet 🥲
I was shooketh
DD is still in game? 😐 oh boy its been so long .
sure as hell they did
I'm a gaming baby so I need them =w=
to them hell mode is not different
I know I'm not skilled, but I have fun 😄
Tbh the onyl real difference between normal and hell mode is...that you get slightly more mat or clears.
once you get to ~5 its almost the same.
it's just a pretty horrible low heat combo at the start
plus another exclusive thing that is just situational for good players anyway
my currest dash strike dmg.. aspect of zagreus legend: +15, rare hunter dash: +60%, epic enshrouded lunge: + 95%
XD
I'm on chamber 7
this is fun
Yep, it's fun
At least at low heat

I'm at 17 tonight but I wanna hit 32
neat
I'm climbing 1 at a time following The Darkness
unless I get the bow
then I just give up cuz I still dunno how I got my 1 clear on it to begin with
hmmm

curse of vengeance or impending doom 
Impending Doom
but I'll do as you say random stranger 
that's the fun part of this 😁
artie didn't like that tho
Because hear me out
If you have doom attacks already its more helpful
The curse is just revenge damage
i accidently closed hades and luckily was in a chamber it saved my run
fair point
but I did it your way 😛
I am hoping to get doom on my special too if nothing better pops up
just doom run
Chaos shield?
mhmm
Pinball is a great name for that actually
legendary zag
I really like that LOL
it sure acts like a pinball
yes
colour match to tartarus too
oooooh
but ooooooh
grandma wants me to inflict chill w that special
rare boon
you want ares special
or basic cast chill
you could get rare crop
I'm just ignoring the 3rd boon cuz I'm not switching out true shot for crystal beam XD
I'll be frosty when I cast my cast
I luv grandma, but then I've always loved winter
well, wish me luck finding ares again!
Keepsakes can help
man i cant fulfill all the fated list things for having used every boon for a certain god and it pisses me off that i have one left to find on most of them but i can never find it even with keepsakes
I'm leveling up Hermes one atm =w=
makes sense
it's the legendary one
hermes is good for the fists and stuff
takes time to get the final one
and gun
last run I had around 50% dodge chance or smth at one point XD
before I swapped to chaos egg for final fight for a prophecy =2=
dam
Okay so wondering how the pool of gods works on each run
'tis only basic, but now my special has doom
Let’s say I go through Tartarus and get 4 different gods(except Hermes), if I don’t use keepsakes, will it only be those four I encounter for the rest of the run?
If I use a keepsake at the start of the run, will it add that keepsake god to the pool for 5, or just change one of them so the total is still 4?
goated build
I even got my curse of vengeance XD
Nevermind
my favorite chaos shield build is athena attack, ares special, splash dash
throw demeter in for rare crop rng, or artemis for pressure points
Sadge
ooooooh
but YES
EPIC Artemis aid!
thank you artie!!
oh, and NOW you wanna give me huge catch 
when I'm right at the end -_-
no
That’s awesome, ||surface|| fish give the best rewards
ye, but no thank you
if I'm gonna fish I wanna do it at more points then the end lol XD
esp when one of the other boons were faster call~
I want to try this build:
Slicing Shot + Black Metal + Engulfing Vortex + Pressure Points + Vicious Cycle + Hunting Blades + Mirage Shot + Fully Loaded + Flurry Cast + Quick Favor + Greater Recall + Multiple Grasps(Chaos Boon) + Aphrodite’s Aid
I’ve gotten some but not all of that and it was amazing
I'm having fun with my impending doom & dash-strike 
Hunting Mirage Shot is a lot of fun
I'm on chaos shield
Also it makes your God Gauge shoot up super fast.
Well it’s a cast build so it works on almost every weapon.
I have rare curse of agony, basic curse of pain, rare hunter dash lvl 2, dread flight, legend aspect of zag, basic dire misfortune, epic enshrouded lunge, basic impending doom, basic greatest reflex, explosive return & basic curse of vengence 
plus some others, but those are the fun ones
that was a fun run 
Help
I need advice
||how do I unlock 4th weapon aspects||
Do I have to start and finish a run with a certain weapon?
U can check the pinned in #h1-story-discussion
time for me to go sleep 
sleep well friend
what does ||Boilling Blood|| do?
increases damage you take
had a hunch
I hav a question
does godmode resistance carry over? (for example, if u got the damage res up to 30% while using it, then turn it off, if you turn it on again does it default back to 20% or not)
@leaden shore have you gotten any achievements with god mode?
Yes
Oh. That seems a bit unfair
Cause god mode is way easier and you get the same achievements
everyone has access to god mode
Yeah Ik
I started yesterday. I’ve been playing it for like 7hrs a day
Wish I got it earlier
• god mode retains % if you turn it off and turn it back on later, but it will cap at 80% since dying is important to the narrative and you cannot be totally invulnerable
• god mode does not prevent achievements. god mode is more an optional difficulty modifier than an actual "easy mode"
What’s the cap not on God Mode?
you don't automatically gain damage resistance when you die in regular mode
I know I said with boons
not sure if there is one
I feel like even if 100% were achievable, they’d just make attacks deal 1 damage
I know
But I feel like it’d still do at least 1
Since I think it isn’t programmed for attacks to do zero damage without shields
What if instead of God Mode there was a Pact of Protection? For each buff you take, the amount of darkness and gems earned decreases.
I know God Mode is just fine, merely throwing a random thought out there.
I just really like how the Fiend’s Cauldron worked in Uprising.
Or if you didn’t play Uprising and have no idea what I’m talking about, how the difficulty meter worked for Classic Mode in Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS
The difficulty can be raised or lowered for a price, which depends in how much you change it exactly. Default difficulty costs nothing and is rather easy. Higher difficulty means greater rewards. Difficulty can be lowered further but less rewards are obtained.
However, unlike Hades, this is an overall difficulty boost, so you don’t select which aspects you want to be harder specifically.
K I’m done flooding the chat with words.
I feel like the existence of God Mode is fine as it is. Never tried it myself (though I'm not the greatest player), but I think that those who cannot complete the game on default difficulty due to any reason (disabilities, inexperience, etc.) should not be forced to grind more on a lowered difficulty.
God Mode (as I understand - again, never tried it) is a crutch for those who actually need a crutch. I think it shouldn't have a downside by design.
I do like the idea of a separate Pact of Protection though, it could be like a sandbox with which you could try outrageous builds and still survive through the Sisters or Asphodel
I used God Mode the first time because I was struggling a lot getting through Tartarus but I started a new save without it and I've been progressing faster than I did at first so it definitely helped me learn
hey there, Ive got 6 hrs on this game over 3 sessions, but each time i load my save Ive noticed im at least a run or two behind.
like for example my save says I have 265 darkness but when I load i only have 60
anybody else have this happen?
Its probably because on the play and load save screen it shows total darkness acquired
But within the game it shows how much darkness you have that you havent spent on talents at the mirror
If you use a key to reset your talents you'll get all your darkness back and can reallocate it
i think id be far past 260 though. But still I hear the same dialogue and am missing the keepsakes i earned from sysiphus
and the gauntlets weapon, not even in the shop for me anymore
Dont understand this
quick question
i have a friend who is streaming hades
does anyone want to join?
just like the main hub area
Hi
its interactive (ish)
Yee the house of Hades is the hub
Hello! Thank you for stopping by! My name is PANDAXD64 or Sam, I stream all types of games on my platform. I'm a Canadian streamer that streams on the side. My goal is to build a happy, Loved and kind community that I can interact with! I do hope you stay and watch, and enjoy!
Bro imagine not petting cerberus
And you spend darkness like talent points at the mirror in your room
yeah but like thats weird right, must be a bug or something?
cerebrus is nice
yes i know, like i said i have 6 hrs alr
He is very good boi
how dare you not pet him
Idk ur confusing me
I always pet him
i lose like an hours worth of progress every time i load my save
My save file saya I have around 16,000 darkness but i only have 2,500 darkness on zag because i spent the majority on talents at the mirror
despite seeing in the save screen the correct playtime and stuff
Its normal
Is the save syncing properly?
like loading the game and missing the gauntlets weapon that i bought is normal?
i used to think exagryph was trash
Then i unlocked aspect of eris
No i meant ur darkness amount being less than what the save file says
yea but that is the less concerning part to me
like i have to go through dialogue ive alr done
and regift nectar
missing enemies ive fought in my codex
It does sound like its not saving ur progress
How are u playing it?
I started on pc and cross saved to switch and havent had an issue
weird. i just play on pc
Yeah thats really weird tbh
finally got to the hades fight and beat him except he did that annoying thing I hate
Thought it would be a cross save issue
ig ill go to tech support then
My only assumption would be you might not be letting it save cause you use the "Give Up" option on runs so that reverts you back to the house before you started that run
So you lose any progress you made during that run
yea ive never even done that...
But if you're letting yourself die and return to the house through tthe pool of styx
It will save and actually help move along the story
Yeah if youve never done that then its not saving for some reason... Idek if u can turn off autosave?
When you unlock all the hidden aspects
do you quit the game through the main menu, or by doing q-command or similar?
apparently, problems may arise if you don't quit through main menu, though that's just what i've heard
that's pretty odd, you might want to report a bug in game or visit the tech support channel here
oh you already have, nvm, good luck!
Tfw Hades makes you think you wanna play Diablo again but you only play for a few mins and go back to Hades
I completed Hades story. The ending suprirsed me a bit (cant say much without spoiling)
I will say
k
It sure takes time to save up 1500 gems
Hades so good
I want my vintage bar
?
I always manage to get the most coin in the tunnels
Okay guys
Has anyone else thought theres might be a secret cow level in Hades? Or something similar
A secret what level
I don't know what that means I'm sorry
Why would it be?
Asterius looks similar af to the cow enemies in D2
I love secrets in games thats why
I already know this game has secret dialogue for sure
hermes comments about you timing yourself of you have the timer on
Tfw your on the Hades discord and you feel dumb for trying to talk about Hades instead of playing it
Happens from time to time
Joycons are so garbage
Missed a fish cause it just randomly decided to be unresponsive. Was attached to the sides of my switch still too
hey guys when you beat the final boss, whats the point of the selection screen and you can pick your powerups?
Screenshot purposes basically
So you can display the boons you want on the victory screen
oh lol
im surprised i beat it with just a wierd build
i gotta give thanks to dionysus
his special is awesome
I love his cast + any boon that causes hangover
Is it just me or lightning rod incredibly broken ...
leave your cast stone lying around and get free lighting damage
it is a bit OP, I would agree.
I currently have it combined with crit heavy Artemis Zeus build with aspect of Chiron
add seekers to the homing crit special its alot of homing crits
fastest hades fight yet ...
ayyyo just got back from camping and time to play hades at 3am
that is when 3am comes
funny i didn't use any olympians keepsake but got a Artemis and Zeus build going from Tartarus
Speaking of which I saw a build the other day that was pure revenge damage
Artemis Zeus build is arguably one of the best, i got exit wounds and faster reload, now I just need lightning rod
with true shot ofc
if i get lightning rod + any of the boons that increase the amount of casts this will be an insanely easy kill
Imagine if you will Hades being like "Fine I guess you are my little pogchamp.. Come here Hugs Zag Turns into a red mist and dies
lol
I’m looking for hades fanfic and a tag I saw was “Canon-typical overuse of the word “lad” lmao
accurate
I'm experiencing Orpheus and Eurydice for the first time together
I'm in awe
So amazing
Someone isn't leaving this chamber for a while

i killed alecto while dying at the same time
that felt good
the defiance animation and the boss kill animation went up at the same time which was funny
I have Good Riddance memorized
yo
yall ever wonder what the lucifer rail is saying every time you reload
It cant just be a single choir note, it sounds like a word
at least to me
anyone got any good quality screenshots of zag's bedroom, with as little UI showing as possible?
If you stop moving, the hud eventually disappears
Just pick your angle then stop moving
Just took one on my switch rq
Will dm
for the monthly challenge can a modded save file qualify for the submission
or do i need to play it vanilla
ahh, neato, thanks! @tepid plover

Do you mean the barrel roll ? Pretty sure mods aren't allowed
I often forget you can mod games without steam workshop 
what about the aphro challenge
i'm not sure if it was ever brought up but i'd imagine mods are not allowed
Was there a tiny update over the weekend?
dont think so, i dont recall seeing one 
if there was it was probably just bug fixes
There was a thing next to the patch notes but there wasn't anything new
So maybe it's a small patch
yeah i noticed there was some update on startup; was just wondering 👍
8 16 32
Do I get anything out of giving Bouldy repeatedly nectar btw? Or am I just wasting it LOL
he gives a boon
you get the smallest teensiest tiny boons
oh hell yeah


or he could say nah man youre not cool enough today and give you jack
the "ambiguity bonus"

Nah Bouldy's my,, rock
We're best buddies
holup I finally unlocked the last heart for Poseidon as I was speaking omg FINALLY
bouldy's really just a rock sisyphus carved a face into. i'm sorry you had to find out this way.
Oh to be a boulder with a cute face, vibing in the depths of Tartarus
Oh damn... by the gods
Guyz i just read something cursed about Aphrodite and Ares in wikipedia itself.
1.Aphrodite seems to be Ares sister in law (step sister)
- Ares did Aphrodite 😐
Technically, they're all siblings and Zeus is the father, it's greek mythology
theres a bit more nuance to it than just "its greek mythology" but yes creation myths in general are like that. in regard to the game though, based on clues in the dialogue and how olympians speaks to aphrodite (very formal) versus how they speak with the rest of the family (informal) aphrodite is probably the most distantly related of the olympians
She seems like she doesn't really want anything to do with the other gods on olympus, especially the ladies lolol
Yes sir. in wikipedia, i saw she is only something-in-law with almost everyone
prntscr? what is this site and why i can't resist thinking pervert specially after knowing Ares is sooo....
printscreen, it's from my screenshot tool since I can't send a picture in here...
Aphrodite is one of the more ancient in the pantheon
she came from the ouranos blood that drop to the sea/ocean
pretty epic
Oooo
O ye I was about to say, there's that theory too
The theory of her being the offspring from Uranus' is in Hesiod's Thegony, whilst her being the child of Hera and Zeus is from the Greek mythology, just like how she was caught in "the act" with Ares
She bore him his sons Eros, Anteros, Deimos and Phobos, and the daughter Harmonia, whilst Dionysus also had an affair with her lol
Greek mythology.... Sweet home olympus 
Imagine that fat Dion having that with Aphrodite.
He ain't fat, he muscular buddy
I wanted to use another term sir.
But that would be really...
Could offend some peolpe
Please don't call me sir, my pronouns are she/her, that's weird for me :'D
Oh ok then ma'am
tyty!
tbh i wish we had a fat character in hades
like a lot of media just doesnt show fat characters but like every character in hades has a like the body of the greek god pun intended
Dunno man
I wish i could have that with Aphro as well
Silenus was a tutor for Dionysus, he could work well
maybe can consider bouldy

I mean, back then that was the "standart" with all the athletes and such, So I suppose being a God let's you look however you want, therefore it's part of their "divine beauty" standarts back then
I'd have said Sisyphus but he's rather broad and chonky than fat
So demeter's husband was a farm boy eh?
Then me as a faithful dude who is a computer engineer and a damned nerd
I have a higher chance i assume
You have no shot
Ha ha ha why not
like i get it in the end, fat isnt the most attractive to the public idea and it of course doesnt ruin the game being like every other piece of media
She's not interested in mortals anymore stated by her own sentences
Oh.... you are right ma'am
That woman got as much hatred for the world as I do on a monday morning
Btw i am, merely joking huh.
Imagine losing your virginity to a goddess huh
wish that was me
I just finished my 100th run lmao
noiceee
Congrats
onto the 1000th

Be it anyone
hey this is getting inappropriate, remember one of our community guidelines is to keep discussion clean
lmfao
that means drop the topic @tepid plover
And chat goes dead
it be like that
Welp, Dead Cells update just dropped on console yesterday, and now I’m torn between Dead Cells and Hades
my heart craves hades content, and it hurts me it might never come
my heart also craves hades content but im bad at video games so it just takes too damn long to get to
lol
i have a really egotistical view on video game difficulties
like if i pick something too hard and i'm already a quarter of the way through i refuse to change
Keep hammering on then
Skill-based games, I kinda just gives up and lower the difficulty. Games that requires more thinking on my part though, that’s always on high difficulty for me

Yeah same, I'll just keep learning until I can handle the highest difficulty
👋
i like to maintain a balance between hard and fun
like 30 heat is perfect for me
40 and on, not so much
what conditions do you choose from pact of punishment?
I'm tryna attempt a 32 heat on hell mode
I did 32 for the trophy, but I normally dont play on 32
https://imgur.com/9axu25g this is my usual set up
can add something of your liking to reach 32
damn
I never touch approval process and routine inspection
screw that, I need my boons and mirror
AP2 though?
i cant play without that
This seems decent enough
i cant claim 0 heat bounties because i dont enjoy playing without ap2
I'd personally replace AP for FO2 or 3
at least you don't put TD
you have all the time in the world
personally I'd prob die first
and here i am using td3 at 16 heat
hey if you can, td is free heat

why not use TD2 and get rid of UC?
EM4 is also bad at 30+
guess you dont like having boons dio
i manage it well
Em3 with DC2 if you are using fists or rail is MUCH easier
take a bit of LC and CF as well
if it works for you, then you do you tbh
RI, UC and AP are just bad modifers you dont really want to touch unless you have to (40+)
uc isnt that bad
I agree, im just doing it for fun
CP is also a big nono
i agree with RI and AP though
CP with EM4 is hell
you could do HL, CF, LC, Em3, MM, UC1, FO1, DC2 (depending on weapon) and TD2
and have a much easier time
(I still havent beaten 32 so what do I know)
eventually
I have 7 tries at 32, havent made it past Asphodel
you'll get there :>
^
yeah SD is a big learning experience
Just wanna say all of u guys making art! Your art is wonderful!! ❤️
Alright, thanks mate
Damage control plus tight deadline is enough to 32
i cant stand DC
i run ap2, so isnt easy, be warned
though i do like HS which makes me an outlier in pact management
if AP2 just didnt show the other boons it would make it so much more bearable
it's that "so close yet so far" feeling
Spam that A button
literally
i found this song about hades
its a fan made duet of good riddance
made by man on the internet
am i able to post it here? (since its kinda related)
#fan-works
what aspect of which weapon shud i get first i have 4 titans blood right now
or should i upgrade any of the zag aspects?
@fleet echo if you wanna try out each one yourself, you can unlock the aspect you wanna try, use it on skelly and then quit and open your save again without leaving the courtyard so you get your titan blood back
some aspects are also not good at lvl 1 or 2, such as chiron bow or chaos shield
Oooh that explains why I didnt like chaos shield
Should put more blood into that one shouldnt I
i enjoy going to the steam community discussions for hades so much
what a cesspool of trash takes
i mean
is there any on Facebook 😂
'Actually all the weapons are bad you're just a blind fan boy lol I am the only not brainwashed person I actually hate all games that are fun and only play league' - that guy probably
I've seen new people hating on rail (e.g. me)
clearly he hasn't seen twin/triple shot
i swear to god triple shot + chain shot is absurd
Big brain = Cast only, no weapons or dash
that's just a cast build
yeah, although usually you'd still dash and use your weapon a little
I've actually never tried a cast build 🤔
poseidon, achilles, beo and hera are the main cast build weapons
Yeah poseidon cast is so fun with the other knocking into wall boons
Everyone that hates on this game on the forums is just like 'lol combat boring fights boring enemies boring lol 0/10'
Like wow have you ever played a roguelite before you donut
half the time it's just basically "too hard why no chekcpoints"
"5 weapons" like that isn't already a lot of variety
probably they only seen it on surface level, like how most roguelites uses them, pick up and replace
maybe they compared it with gungeon or smth
theres 6 weapons though
they don't know there's 24
honestly i think it’s deeper than that; lotta these folks just seem to not know how roguelikes work
it is not a genre known for broad, mainstream success
so it isn’t hugely surprising that Hades is the first game of its kind for a lot of people
On The Coast is an incredibly good piece of music
How are you meant to escape with pact of punishment on max theseus took all my death defiences
Not a meant extremem measures on max
the highest heat is 63 (64 if on hell mode)
there aren't even bounty rewards past 20 heat so there's no real reason to go max heat in the first place

as the dark souls community once said
Git gud
I'm experiencing short frame drops especially when there are alot of enemies and projectiles
Especially when there's a gorgon (throws stones)
I believe I have a decent PC running with 1660 super
So I don't think my PC is the problem
I have read that I should turn off g-sync while playing, is this true?
V-sync sometimes slows the game down so try it
Just got a Hyda fight with a Chaos curse dammit
Should check chamber number before accepting a curse
Barely done that so I don't know how many chambers are left before th boss, I'll try checking that more often
My favorite thing, i finished my first run abusing stubborn roots and crystal beam, and the game proceeded to force murder me in tartarus about 12 times back to back
man hera sucks for me
i mainly never wanna do 32 heat all aspects just because of it
I can't imagine doing 32 heat all aspects
I've only done 32 heat on rail
You know it
I mean, if 30 or 30+ heat is considered high heat then I did high heat all weapon
How would you even do lucifer 32 heat
I would imagine with either supersoaker or zeus attack
zeus attack
most likely
though my friend once put aphro on special
and got triple bombh
he called it "Nuclear Valentine"
Nice
that's not what he really called it, it's not safe for everyone
Well what did he call it
what did he call it
I feel like love and napalm would've been a better name lol
that's actually a really good name
So, by complete chance, I managed to kill Theseus during the extremely small window of time where he’s thrown his spear but before he’s summoned it back.
After he died, the spear just floated there for the rest of the fight, and even afterwards.
It just stayed there until I left the room.
The spear, once wielded by brave Theseus, confused as where to go for its master has fallen... again
I read that in the Narrator's voice
I wrote that in the Narrator's voice
does god mode block achievements
Nope
this is one of the recommended things in #h1-tech-fixes
so it might help
oops, forgot to turn off ping
Quick question for summoning Dusa it seems like you need to help remodel the lounge. Does this require all the upgrades unlocked or is there a specific threshold of things you need to do ?
||12, must include 1 mat and 2 cerberus cleaning up duty||
Does hearing full dialogue add to your run time? Like i never skip theseus’ lines bc hes hilarious but should i be doing that to have a shorter time
Timer pauses on dialogues and and prompts
Mods are allowed for the challenges if they're cosmetic. For the Valentine's challenge specifically, you can use any mod you like. Follow your heart. 
If you have any questions about the challenges again, ask me or RidiculousHat.
Okay cool so i can listen to eurydice for as long as i want
you can enable the timer display and see it yourself
Sure. Good luck with the challenges! 
this... looks like zagreus https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/033/905/cover4.jpg
now i want to redraw with hades characters
🤦🏻♀️
Pretty much Zag and Meg's relationship in a nutshell
Or Aphrodite when you reject one of her boons ...
I want a version with Hades shooting whole swords and Zagreus looking dead inside instead of in pain.
Or the fate route with a crap ton of spears
Although I did see a youtube speed run where Hades was defeated using nothing but Crush Shot. I could only imagine the fight being the
HARDER DADDY!
WHAT?!?!!?
What?
meme
when you send him back down the river styx using nothing but cringe
Vengeful Mood runs are the best. Send Dad packing through the power of salt
When most kids piss off their father they get the belt when Zag pisses off his father he gets the second and third health bars with AOE special moves
How do people shape their runs at all? I feel like whenever I’m hunting for a certain legendary or duo, I will wear that gods keepsake, then never encounter a second boon from that god
ummm since keepsakes only work 1 time for a guaranteed god it comes down to luck
^
like a lot of the time i go for zeus legendary and only get like his attack and jolted and thats it
a lot of the game and just rogue likes in general is being able to adapt to the ever changing situation
Always go in with more then one boon you want, that way you're likely to get at least one of them
Then I swear all of the streamers must be stealing all of the luck in the world
i may not get the boons i want but i can sure try to still have a good build
yep
Rn I’m just trying to complete some minor prophecies and I’m one duo boon away from finishing that portion
I need Rip Current for the God of the Sea prophecy but Poseidon won't give me his call
Oh yeah that happened with me too on that one
im having war flashbacks of trying to get blown kiss
I got those done by rng being nice tbh, I only had to try for a few boons myself, the rest it just gave me at random
and then i get it casually with a random build that isnt even cast related
I feel like Poseidon is the hardest god to get what you want from
Poseidon's Aid is a prerequisite, it makes you like draw enemies in while his call is active
At least in my experience
it's not a duo it just a base poseidon boon
ohh
Rip current makes Posei call last longer
I guess just buy tons of rerolls
Eh, maybe? Athena is picky at times too, I get her death defiance boons when full on them and her defense/trap ones when needing a dd a lot.
yea, its similar to the vortex boon for ares and makes it last longer
Do a bunch of builds with poseidon
True she’s also one of the annoying ones
Artemis is super consistent imo
for a bunch of the gods' boon prophecies I just have one left that I need
I wouldn't call Dio consistent when he has the best cast but a mediocre everything else
I got Demeter's yesterday
Hey, I like Dio's survival boons
Demeter is kinda bad outside of rare crop and attack imo
I respect hangover but also... Tidal dash brr
Getting that health restore if you're low per chamber is nice
i like dios more general boons
Yeah and when you aren't it's just. Sigh
Especially on AP
outside of those more general boons i hate dio with a passion
Premium was good when I was farming 100 nectar for the theme but.
Now it's useless
Sorry Dio I love you but all I need is the cast
um
Wouldn't this go in #self-promotion?
it belongs there, yes
Do you guys feel like there will ever be a sequel or a dlc/expansion to the game? Personally I think there might be a dlc in the future
I really hope there would be something extra to the game in the future
maybe, the game is certainly popular
just not sure it's the game studip
studio's style to do dlc
yea i think they did a little bit with bastion and like havent done dlc since
We could get titan bosses or just some post epilogue content idk, or visit olympus update would be great... but it would be too much probably
I would like more gameplay content in terms of a new biome and possibly new aspects or weapon, but likely will be more dialogue at best
and like within the bounds of greek mythos there isnt much you can do
@grand crystal just god fights in olympus as extra chanllenge 🤣 anyways it would be too much probably
i mean id be down to get something similar to the pipe/bedroll/cooking pot from bastion
just waves and lore
would be very cool
I need Double Strike for God of the Heavens, Rip Current for God of the Sea, Blown Kiss for Goddess of Love, and High Tolerance for God of Wine
Are they all legendaries?
Wait I know double strike isnt
You could set up a nice build with those 4
nah it's just for the prophecies where it gives you a list of the gods' regular boons and you need to get all of them
Are you supposed to get poisoned from poison pools that are still on the floor after you clear the room 😞
they insta disappear after you clear no?
Spoilers are allowed but people may still spoiler tag content if they wish
I guess it was a glitch, there was one right over the exit
up to preference
i go with base until like the last 3 or 4, after that i do the alt options
it all depends on build tho
build and preference
what do you use??
Can someone fill me in on what the standard heat and pacts for speedrunning are?
I checked online and got some useful info but im still not sure what the "standard" is
i would ask the speedrunning server they should be able to help
Gotcha, thanks ✌
the incredible amt of unique dialogue lines makes every character in the game feel so realistic cuz they're all so reactive! i caught a fish in chaos' domain and then they immediately commented on it like 'bruh how'd you do that'
yea the game is great
As far as I can tell it is, because whenever I try to fish standing on lava it doesn’t let me
in bastion rucks reacts when you fall or die and some other things sometimes, its very cool
So I ||sent the invites to everyone on Olympus|| and Zagreus thought to ||invite Chaos too||. If I do another run before triggering the next event, can I actually do this?
so its weird ||chaos says yea ill see if i can but idk and thers no mention of him in the actual epilogue but if you get his boon after that he says thanks||
K thanks
np, i did epilogue at 3am and after i got the voice line to invite him i was like "damn, do i wanna do another run" but i was like "screw it its grandad, he cool"
well
grandparent
theres a bit at the edge where you can fish but still take damage
I’m assuming you don’t get the reference?
For anyone curious, I was referencing this:
