[grand crystal]

oh

i watch vinny more than i do joel

so yea i didnt catch the reference

[copper canopy]

Yooo, same!~

But that’s just one that’s really well known so I knew it.

[hollow kettle]

aw man I wanna invite master chaos if I ever get to the epilogue on my second save

[copper canopy]

Speaking of Chaos, why didn’t anyone tell me about the best part of the Chaos aspect for shield?

||That Chaos can see through it and rarely makes comments||

[grand crystal]

wait WHAT

thats cool ngl

im a zeus shield fan enjoyer tho

[copper canopy]

ikr?!

[hollow kettle]

you ever see the little purple dialogue pop up when you use it

[copper canopy]

Same but that’s still really cool.

[grand crystal]

no, ive used it like twice

[rich acorn]

That part's so cool

I was spooked when it first happened

[copper canopy]

I’ve had it happen too. It does seem to be a rare occurrence.

[grand crystal]

so then does taking chaos shield with chaos egg and taking chaos boons allow chaos to just see through zag himself

[copper canopy]

Probably

I’m doing another run to ask Chaos, while doing everything you just said plus using the ||Chaos Theme||

[brisk trail]

@grand crystal im pretty sure its the cosmic egg that allows chaos to see through zag

||cause he asks you to kill hades with the cosmic egg to entertain him||

[brazen lagoon]

Them*

[brisk trail]

Obv Chaos created the Chaos shield but from how he words things in game im pretty sure he can only see thru zag with the egg

Yeah them* lol

[keen scarab]

How many attacks are boosted after achilles rush?

[brazen lagoon]

4

[keen scarab]

i thought so, thanks

[charred anchor]

is it just me or do the tiny chariots sound like meowing

[wise sparrow]

yes they are kitties

[charred anchor]

is that why theyre small? cuz theyre cat chariots?

[wise sparrow]

i am not sure its canon but thats what i believe in my heart

the hot wheels are kitties and the big chariots are lions

[viscid solstice]

How do I catch rare fish? I have like 100 hours in the game and still haven’t gotten one 😞

[ancient vigil]

super quick click

[viscid solstice]

I see thanks lol

I guess I’m just slow

[ancient vigil]

same lol

i've caught one rare fish

[hardy oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-monkey-puppet-meme-awkward-gif-15268759

[fleet echo]

as the big simp for artemis im kinda sad she doesnt have a bit kore affectionate voice lines even when max romanced but kinda understandable cuz the whole no men thing

[brazen lagoon]

there can only be one

[fleet echo]

fight to the death?

jk

[brazen lagoon]

i will obviously win

i am the first

[hardy oasis]

no

join forces

become the most powerful artemis simp that could possibly exist

[brazen lagoon]

i refuse

[copper canopy]

Okay, off to finally get the true ending~

[fleet echo]

true... but i can try AHAHAH better to die trying

[brazen lagoon]

i will destroy you without breaking a sweat

hopefully anyways im kinda out of shape

[fleet echo]

i woulda stood a chance last year when i exercised very frequently now im just flab .-.

[dim herald]

Okay this might be my new favorite quote from the game

||https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/811407763497680906/811408102724730890/20210216202235_1.jpg||

they need to fix image previews

[mental jungle]

it's like that when you put spoiler tags on them :<

[dim herald]

well the + button for actually uploading images as proper spoilers is missing because of channel configurations

why I do not know alot of servers do this but allow url links which really makes no sense

i think its just ignorance from whoever sets permissions.. I think the theory is to prevent offensive content and spam but in practice anyone can link from an image host or another discord so its a moot point frustrates users more than it helps mods and admins

[mental jungle]

mmm true

[dim herald]

also the game has such meme gold in the dialogue it should be easier to share XD

[mental jungle]

hahaha yeah i checked that image it's also one of my faves

[dim herald]

I low key want to see a contractor option that adds a cloak storage room to the house that's basically a large warehouse full of Hades cloaks

[copper canopy]

One of my favorite lines is when Hypnos asks Zagreus if he’s always dying because he wants to see him.

Zagreus, in the most deadpan voice possible, responds with
“I have a secret, Hypnos. I've died on purpose every single time, just to see you.”

[mental jungle]

oooh i havent come across this dialogue yet. or idk maybe i skipped it 😅

[copper canopy]

Actually ||there’s something like that in the game already||

[dim herald]

what heat level do you need to beat to get there or is it random

[copper canopy]

I think it’s one of the dialogues from giving Hypnos nectar.

[copper canopy]

Have you seen the credits yet?

If you haven’t, you’ll get the place I’m talking about naturally from progressing through the game.

[mental jungle]

ah no wonder. think i only gave him nectar once

[dim herald]

Has anyone had problems where troves are not giving the rewards they show ?

the one I just grabbed said 100 darkness but gave me gold ...

is this a mirror or boon effecT?

[high island]

That's a bug if it happened.

@dim herald to report bugs in-game.

[dim herald]

This is also odd the keepsake from hermes I just got only has a passive buff but does not increase boon level or chances

why is that different from all the other god keepsakes

[rapid forum]

Cause you're gonna get hermes in every run

[narrow hemlock]

because hermes acts differently and isnt like the other gods, narrative and gameplay-wise

[dim herald]

I think someone mentioned he had different motives than the Olympian gods but haven't heard much else about him actually

wonder when ill get more dialogue

[hearty bramble]

oh wait really?

like that doesn't seem wrong but i never really thought about it :O

[runic parrot]

yeah hermes is doing his own thing seperate from the olympians

[dim herald]

Actually I remember a speed runner on you tube mentioning he wanted to get his two hermes boons out of the way before styx temple

so it seems there is a gaurente of two boons from him each run

[hearty bramble]

wow, what a bro

[dim herald]

Dionysus: "I thought i was your Bro" Challenge of the Gods Begins

[tepid plover]

Challenge of the bros

[viscid solstice]

Dionysus is the biggest bro ever

[dim herald]

Its kinda sad you never see Hermes in a challenge room or this would be a real possibility

[viscid solstice]

Massive homie

[dim herald]

The guy who LITERALLY INVENTED THE TOGA PARTY !

[viscid solstice]

Poseidon or Dionysus tho 🤔

[dim herald]

I wonder do they have a dual boon what with sailors being known for drunken partying

[hollow kettle]

hey did you guys know hypnos has a wife and children and his wife is the goddess of hallucinogens

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/677038655155732480/811441350365020220/2xbXDBPABDABTODjEcDz68djj0vGBDABTAAT6L8E8Pzaf9sW1wwTwAQwAUzg4xH4fwNs9csF2aXaAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC.png

morpheus the god of dreams is their son

[dim herald]

PASITHEA BOONS NOW !!!

[hollow kettle]

she and Dionysus would get along

I might use her in a fanfic actually

Ohh she's one of the three graces, I've heard of those

[dim herald]

okay which goes better with hangover Zeus or Poseidon

[lilac jolt]

anyone else find it strange that the game didn't include hephesteus or hecate?

[dim herald]

I can under stand Hera not showing up.. too busy watching Zeus with Horny bat in hand

[hollow kettle]

I figured the reason was if they went with more than eight then the quest where you have to befriend all the gods would take way too long

[dim herald]

hephesteus is pretty much a recluse

[winter harbor]

hecate could've shown up in styx

[hollow kettle]

plus this way they can each be associated with a color and you can tell them apart

[winter harbor]

as goddess of entryways

like maybe she's a story room in styx

[hollow kettle]

ares - red
hermes - orange
zeus - yellow
artemis - green
demeter - light blue
poseidon - blue
dionysus - purple
aphrodite - pink

[winter harbor]

obviously a shade wouldn't make sense in styx since at that point zag is pretty much out of the world of the dead

[narrow hemlock]

hecate probably didnt fit in the story they wanted, hephaestus is explained here #ask-supergiant message

as for other missing olympians, it was never the goal to add the full olympian pantheon

[winter harbor]

also she apparently covers necromancy too so hecate would fit in ok as a chthonic god (since she's obviously not an olympian)

[hollow kettle]

I know Hypnos' wife and kids probably aren't canon to the game but it's so hilarious to me as a headcanon that he has this reputation for being an unprofessional layabout but he just has this whole family he never tells anyone about

[winter harbor]

they probably didn't add any story rooms for styx because then you can't reroll the door

[flat halo]

Question

[narrow hemlock]

i like to think many gods inherently dont understand hypnos's domain since immortals dont need to sleep like mortals do, so thats why they think hes just lazy. hypnos owns half of mortal lives, after all

[flat halo]

What hidden aspect is worth investing in

[lilac jolt]

still it would have been cool to see hecate in like a special, super- secret bonus kinda way. like if you encounter, the next run through, you don't have to face anymore witches, cause hecate is the goddess of witches and magic

[narrow hemlock]

i mean this is entirely subjective based on your own playstyle preferences

they all play differently so their worth will be up to how well you like them and mesh with them

[hollow kettle]

he has the ability to put gods to sleep, including hades, he's definitely more powerful than he appears

[narrow hemlock]

you get it

all that power in a sleepy, unassuming package

[scarlet gull]

NOOOOOOOOOO

i almost beat charon without losing a DD in tartarus with fists

but he kept stunning me right before the purple cloud thingy

also the oar attack is SO UNPREDICTABLE

i DONT KNOW THESE PATTERNS AT ALL

[grand crystal]

man i knew he could get it but like man, good for him

[scarlet gull]

does thanatos get affected by DC

[dim herald]

Some of these boons seem to have subtext to them XD

reading the codex

Aphrodite: Legendary boon is called Unhealthy Fixation .... Yandere confirmed

[manic moat]

yea

[brisk trail]

@scarlet gull No. He even instantly kills Exalted, no reducing them to shades.

[dim herald]

Pos and Dio is called exclusive access .... they must go clubbing together in the VIP lounges

[gilded leaf]

i still dont understand why the ares/dio boon isnt called (festive) fog of war

[grand crystal]

curse is i think an epithet of ares, or just a term used to describe what he does

hence curse of longing

curse of agony

curse of nausea

like yea festive fog of war would be funny but curse is more correct on a mythos base

[gilded leaf]

i mean true i just think its a baller name

[grand crystal]

you right

[hollow kettle]

I’m not sure because I wasn’t really paying attention but I think I just got a bug where Hades’ dialogue portrait showed up as Persephone lmaooo

[grand crystal]

he became smol

[modern arch]

Incredible

[winter harbor]

don't shame hades for his kink

of putting on his wife's clothes and shapeshifting to look like her

[rapid forum]

no it's intended, Persephone is your father

[grand crystal]

ITS LIKE NEMO

[rapid forum]

IKR

[grand crystal]

hehe lol, hades takes the roll of mother

[supple lodge]

someone upthread mentioned hypnos having kids in myth

i still cant get over the fact that he has 1000 of them

[winter harbor]

Selene, the titan goddess of the moon, had 50 kids with a perpetually sleeping guy

that's why nobody likes Selene

[supple lodge]

speaking of selene's boytoy, in some versions hypnos makes endymion sleep with his eyes open so he (hypnos) can admire the pretty boy face

[narrow hemlock]

that one doesnt get talked about enough. hypnos erasure

[supple lodge]

let hypnos be a disaster bisexual 2k21

[narrow hemlock]

theres a uhm. gosh i cant recall right now, a play i think it was? wherein hypnos is referred to as conqueror of the gods, just imagine if he really were an em boss lmao

[supple lodge]

Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 4. 146 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) :
"But as he [the Drakon (Dragon) of Golden Fleece] writhed he saw the maiden [the witch Medea] take her stand, and heard her in her sweet voice invoking Hypnos (Sleep), the conqueror of the gods, to charm him."

[narrow hemlock]

[supple lodge]

Hypnos has certainly charmed me

[narrow hemlock]

missed opportunities

[supple lodge]

soooo many missed opportunities... you'd think Hypnos would be more involved in making sure everyone working in the House takes breaks but

[hollow kettle]

His wife is apparently the goddess of rest and relaxation so maybe she would help with that

[supple lodge]

soup giant snubbed hypnos, im fine with him not being a romance option but i just wished he was something more than a laughing stock ingame

[calm eagle]

Failed my driving test. Time to play Hades

[quaint wind]

sorry to hear about your driving test! that always sucked. i failed my first time, too

[rapid forum]

I did AP2

for funsies

I got duos and legendary get blacklisted at least 5 times

fun times

[calm eagle]

Thank u! I did in school times which was dumb but hey... Thanatos

[hearty bramble]

i cant stop thimking about thanatos hes so beautiful 😭

[brazen lagoon]

Death daddy

[supple lodge]

y'all craving the sweet embrace of death on main

[brazen lagoon]

I am not ashamed one bit

[supple lodge]

i thought you were a devotee of artemis

artemis devotion means no being horny /lh

[brazen lagoon]

I will horny for whoever I please

[supple lodge]

don't be surprised if artemis turns you into a deer for your sins /j

[rapid forum]

oh deer

don't think I'd mind that

[brazen lagoon]

Worth

[rapid forum]

just read a bit, don't see any case where arty turned anyone into a deer

turned to a girl yea

but not deer

most she just outright SMITE them

[deep pivot]

@narrow hemlock Sorry to ping you but do you have any idea if she turned someone into a deer perchance?

[narrow hemlock]

yes

it never ends nicely

[worldly sierra]

So... Who here has played Transistor?

[supple lodge]

According to Ovid's Metamorphoses, Actaeon accidentally saw Artemis (goddess of wild animals, vegetation, and childbirth) while she was bathing on Mount Cithaeron; for this reason he was changed by her into a stag and was pursued and killed by his own 50 hounds.

[narrow hemlock]

not in some years now but we have #transistor if you'd like to ask about it

[rapid forum]

oh yea

just read that

woops

[worldly sierra]

If you enjoyed it, go on steam and download a demo called Dandy Ace

It's kinda like if transistor had a baby with Hades

[brazen lagoon]

Are you the dev or something

[worldly sierra]

No

But I love Hades and just found this thing... It's pretty cool

[brazen lagoon]

This isn't really the place to advertise it tho

[worldly sierra]

People so uptight, lol.

[brazen lagoon]

You just barge in here asking people to download this thing because 'it's like hades'

[worldly sierra]

Barge in here? I've been here since beta

[brazen lagoon]

Put it in #self-promotion not here lol

[worldly sierra]

Since it's not self promotion, it doesn't belong in there either

[brazen lagoon]

So it belongs here?

[worldly sierra]

Does it really matter

Don't try it, I could care less. Just sharing a discovery with players that like this genre

[brazen lagoon]

😐

[rapid forum]

#video-games

[viscid salmon]

Gotta say the lack of a nyx emote is deeply saddening

[brazen lagoon]

True

[copper canopy]

Oh my gosh I just learned an exchange along these lines apparently exists in the game:
Alecto: “What makes you scream the loudest?”
Zagreus: ||”Ask your sister.”||

That’s amazing

[brazen lagoon]

I've never heard that before

[copper canopy]

Me neither, but apparently it’s in there.

Also it took me until today to realize that what appears to be a turtle is sitting in Hermes’ bag.

On a related note, 99% of the time I don’t skip dialogue, but the other day I did for whatever reason, and when I skipped Hermes’, he made a quick comment of approval.

[hollow hawk]

that is so funny lmaoo

i wanna get that dialogue so bad

[strange beacon]

this game is crazy

i had the speedrun timer on and hermes talked about it

there's so much detail in this game

[viscid salmon]

@narrow hemlock

[flat halo]

Fun question time

[viscid salmon]

Any chance I can get into whatever server that's from

[flat halo]

At what heat levels do you guys find it difficult to complete without good keepsakes

[rapid forum]

20 heat is still fine for me

idk the jump from 25 to 30 is where it gets me

[spice hearth]

yeah, the jump from 20 to 32 is very very different

almost entirely different playstyles at 32

[wicked sphinx]

havent played for a day, i feel like a noob again

[rapid forum]

it's ok, I didn't play for 3 weeks and it took me 5 tries to win a run

[lunar condor]

I just got this game yesterday and now I’m addicted

[rapid forum]

glad you're enjoying it

[earnest flame]

I turned on God mode after being killed by Meg for the 8th time. I'm now on run 50 and have successfully escaped 6 times. I'm working on eventually escaping at 15 heat (currently attempting escape at 4 heat with the sword).

[rapid forum]

nice

[flat halo]

how can i unlock summon against final boss

[rapid forum]

keep talking to hades

[cursive cradle]

just started playing again after a bit! feels like a totally different game

[silk river]

Hiya, is it possible to control with a joystick and aim with a mouse?

[cursive cradle]

So you are asking if you can use both a joystick and mouse at the same time?

[silk river]

yup

[worldly sierra]

I'm not sure... However... You could essentially make that happen by getting your hands on a steam controller

[crystal pelican]

hi!! just wondering what the number under your keepsake when you’re doing a run means?

[silk river]

Your legendary keepsake?

[cursive cradle]

So I over looked chaos, but ended up with flooded shot. Not terrible.

[crystal pelican]

no I have an Olympian keepsake right now!!

[worldly sierra]

It depends on the keepsake

[crystal pelican]

I’m using demeter’s and it has the number 1 🙂

[silk river]

like 1 star?

[dusky wedge]

Either it’s the number of ambrosia you need to upgrade it, or the number of encounter you need to upgrade it

[crystal pelican]

no three stars

[worldly sierra]

Yes, when you enter a Demeter room, the 1 goes away because the activation charge is used

[crystal pelican]

just the number 1

OH

yeah that makes sense

[dusky wedge]

Maybe, not sure, now that I think of it lmao

[crystal pelican]

was wondering if it was a counter of some sort!! thank you 💕💕

[worldly sierra]

It is a counter

[cursive cradle]

Dude im 2 gold off from Charon boon freakin rip dude

[worldly sierra]

It just works differently for the Olympian ones

[civic pendant]

Huh. Never realised the Olympian ones had charges

[worldly sierra]

For other keepsakes, like the pom blossom, the counter is a countdown for each time it will activate

[civic pendant]

The more you know

[dusky wedge]

Yes, now I remember

For the Olympians, it’s whether you already spent the extra percentage chance or not

[crystal pelican]

yeah that’s what I thought after using the Pom blossom!! just didn’t know why there was a counter for Olympian keepsakes if there is only one use ☺️

[civic pendant]

On the note of those keepsakes, does the charge get used when a door shows that god, or when that god actually gets taken?

[crystal pelican]

when it’s taken!! (Tested it on my last run HAHA)

[worldly sierra]

Yeah, you can actually bypass the first room it forces if there is something else you want, like a hammer... The activation doesn't get used until you actually enter the room it forces

[civic pendant]

Sweet. So safe to take hammer instead

[cursive cradle]

Do we care about spoilers here? (Ie hoe to beat a boss)

[civic pendant]

Is there a write up for how god pools work anywhere? I’m wondering if there’s any point to avoiding taking gods when they show up, like in the shop

[dusky wedge]

Not anymore

[dusky wedge]

The only one I know is that you can only have 5 gods in total not including Hermes and Chaos

[cursive cradle]

Ah good. Pro tip: it's alecto that you can lure to traps for free damage. Maybe this is common knowledge?

[civic pendant]

I’ll give that a shot next time

I didn’t know it

[cursive cradle]

Yay glad I can at least show 1 person

[dusky wedge]

Trying to force it naturally, I don’t think that will work, because it seems the gods you’re going to get is determined pre-run, I had difficulty trying to force another god to appear after the fifth one, unless probably with a keepsake

[cursive cradle]

Pls infinite shots for gun....

[civic pendant]

So good with Poseidon attack

The wall slams start and they don’t stop coming

[vapid narwhal]

by the looks of things you wont get a fifth god period if you have 4 picked, unless you keepsake

4+hermes is all you will get if you dont force another

[civic pendant]

When does a god get put into the pool? Is it when it appears or when you take it?

[vapid narwhal]

when you take it

[cursive cradle]

Nope. Attakc bounce. Not bad

[vapid narwhal]

it also doesnt reset when you purge it away

it's locked in

[civic pendant]

So if I dodge a god in Tarty and take another, I’m safe

[cursive cradle]

Omg. The music. Amazing

[vapid narwhal]

yep

a god simply showing up will not affect your 4 god pool

[cursive cradle]

Just that chill bass track

[civic pendant]

I’ve been thinking about a recent Guan Yu run, and I get why the health was set so painfully. The thing with healing over time weapons is, there’s a real possibility of healing outstripping health loss. I finished with almost full HP and no DD used

The only chance the game has is if it can outstrip the healing, or can spike damage through it

[robust raptor]

Hey guys, if anyone has any tips for catching legendary fish, please tell me cause i have like 90 runs and I still haven't gotten a legendary fish, and its really annoying me

[cursive cradle]

Ooo delta chamber?

[half zephyr]

Gotta be fast

[civic pendant]

@robust raptor look at the flash not the bobbing

Focus your sight an inch or two above the bobber and ignore the bob completely

[half zephyr]

I listen when I catch fish >.>

[civic pendant]

Only when you see gold do you hammer the button

Or listen ^^^

[half zephyr]

I got too trigger happy watching lol

[civic pendant]

I like flash because there’s no other stimulus like it

[half zephyr]

I’ve never even seen a flash XD

[hollow hawk]

there a lot of things you can do, actually. Id suggest trying all of them out and see which one works for you. For practice, you can quit after you catch, and try again.

1. put your thumb over the bob, and look for a flash (it only appears when its an actual bite, flash doesnt appear on fake bites)

2. focus on the sound

3. Know that if you have gotten 3 fake bites, the 4th one will always be a real bite.

4. try to focus somewhere else on the screen, and try to catch the fish using your peripheral vision

for me personally, 1 and 3 work best

[half zephyr]

I wish I could get more chaos fish :/

Been so many times lately & no fish 😞

[silk river]

Here's something else, the bite will never come when the bob is supposed to. the bob is always at a regular interval, and halfway between the bobs, before the first, or after the third is always the bite

[civic pendant]

Chaos fish ._.

[hollow hawk]

get poseidon legendary and go ham lol

[half zephyr]

I wish!!

Last time he offered it to me I rejected him on principle

[hollow hawk]

also, if it takes a long time to get your next bite, it will most likely be a fake one

[hollow hawk]

oof

[half zephyr]

He only offered it when I was in styx

[civic pendant]

I’d still take it

[hollow hawk]

i usually just go for farming runs, and get the poseidon legendary asap

[half zephyr]

I had 1 place left!

[hollow hawk]

styx is still very good

[civic pendant]

Those Greek fish are no joke

[half zephyr]

I needed the faster call boon more

[hollow hawk]

surface fish can give you ||1 titan blood|| for legendary catches

[half zephyr]

I know

But I needed faster call more then 1 surface fish lol XD

[civic pendant]

Is there a consensus re best Eurydice choice?

[hollow hawk]

as with everything in this game

[civic pendant]

I usually go for the +2 rarity to existing boobs

[hollow hawk]

depends

boobs, ok

[civic pendant]

***boons

[half zephyr]

I tend to go with better boons next time I get them

[hollow hawk]

you can get the nectar (next 3 boons have more rarity) if you want a particular duo boon or legendary but havent gotten it yet for your build

[dusky wedge]

Orpheus gonna be mad bruh

[half zephyr]

Ye, that’s me

[hollow hawk]

you can also get the pom one, if you have a lot of boons and dont think that the ambrosia is gonna hit the boons you want

[half zephyr]

Only I’m hunting prophecies XD

[hollow hawk]

or if your main attack boons are underleveled

[civic pendant]

Hm. That makes sense

I guess the most straightforward decision is usually Sisyphus

[dusky wedge]

Yeah, for some reason, it always tends to hit one of the 5 attack boons

[half zephyr]

BOULDY!

[half zephyr]

Well, depends

Sometimes I go coin, sometimes darkness

[civic pendant]

At least once you finish the meta stuff and get good enough so you don’t take much damage in tarty

[half zephyr]

Depending on build & end goal

[civic pendant]

Then it’s just gold every time

[dusky wedge]

I always pick Obol on sisy

Because of Styx shop

[half zephyr]

Not if my end goal is more darkness XD

[civic pendant]

But when you’re starting out, usually it’s darkness

[dusky wedge]

I wish we could actually do something with gems and darkness inside the runs

[half zephyr]

When I started out I chose coin XD

Cuz I got annoyed at never being able to afford everything at Charons shop lol

[civic pendant]

There’s the coin and health side bonuses to make the choice consequential

[hollow hawk]

yeah

gems provide coins

[civic pendant]

I reckon it should apply to troves too tho

[hollow hawk]

darkness provides 60% health regen (if you have dark regen on) and/or +5 health

[civic pendant]

At the moment there’s no reason to trove for anything but obol, unless you’ve dark regen

[hollow hawk]

or healing

[dusky wedge]

Yeah but it’s so incremental at times. I wish it scales on the amount of gems or darkness we got when we take said resource

[half zephyr]

Or if you’re on a material run

[hollow hawk]

healing troves are my fav probably

[dusky wedge]

Another wish lmao 😝

[civic pendant]

(And most people don’t use dark regen, esp if Dark Foresight is active)

Oh yeah I forgot healing lol

[half zephyr]

I just go on material runs when I wanna have fun

[civic pendant]

But yeah gem and darkness troves

[hollow hawk]

you would get insane amount of health and coins after boss fights on non-bounty runs then

[brazen lagoon]

I use dark regen

I like it

[dusky wedge]

Change the rewards around then

[hollow hawk]

also i hate how little darkness the darkness rooms provide

[hollow hawk]

such as?

[half zephyr]

Gems in gem rooms -_-

6 gems

[hollow hawk]

ikr

i wish it would scale

[half zephyr]

What’s even the point

[brazen lagoon]

Double the amount of darkness and gems from Chambers cmon Mr giant

6 and 10 is not nearly enough

[hollow hawk]

even with oceans bounty and chaos boons, its not a lot

[half zephyr]

Mhmmm

[dusky wedge]

Make it gives gold instead of health, for example

[civic pendant]

It really makes non-bounty runs worth while

[brazen lagoon]

Make them like 10 and 20 at least

[hollow hawk]

what

gems already provide gold

i dont know what you mean

[dusky wedge]

And give it just a little scaling instead of a lot

[hollow hawk]

and you get gems after boss fight from the work order vanquisher's keep

its hard to balance it really

[dusky wedge]

It’s balancing issues, shouldn’t be too hard

[hollow hawk]

also, how would it scale? would it scale on your number of runs or number of clears?

if its number of runs, then people who dont clear until like theyre 60th run (no offense, enjoy the game at your own pace!) will have insane scaling

[civic pendant]

A work order would work

“More gems/darkness from default rooms”

[hollow hawk]

we're talking about the rewards they provide increasing with scaling , not how much darkness/gems you get from rooms

or atleast thats what i think we're talking about..?

[civic pendant]

Oh nvm then

[dusky wedge]

50 darkness = 5 health, 100 darkness = 10 health, 150 darkness = 15

Or maybe 2 -3 - 5 if it’s that unbalanced

[hollow hawk]

a single oceans bounty or chaos boon would mean that you get insane amounts of gold/health after each biome

the last farming run i did, i was getting around 500 darkness from killing heroes

insta +50 health lol

[civic pendant]

Do biome clear rewards currently give health/coin?

[hollow hawk]

i think so, yeah

the darkness ones that is

[dusky wedge]

Instant 50 health ain’t too crazy if you ask me

[hollow hawk]

also what would the balancing be for coins?

5 gems currently provide 20 coins

[civic pendant]

Could axe those rewards for scaling purposes. There’s no good reason for end zone rewards to get more rewarding once that heat level is cleared

[hollow hawk]

that is true, yeah

[civic pendant]

“Congrats you beat the difficulty level, now it gets easier”

[dusky wedge]

Reduce the initial coin drop but scale it later

[hollow hawk]

but then again, this is literally never going to happen lol. we're asking for a lot of balance changes after the game has been released

if it were in early access, it would be feasible

[civic pendant]

Yeah true

It’s just theory crafting

Pointless, but aren’t all games?

[dusky wedge]

Yeah, of course, that’s why I said I wish lmao

Well, just spending my afternoon having discussions lol

[brisk trail]

2am tech question

[high island]

If you have ideas for the test branch, you can still share them in #test-branch-discussion. The test branch is still open, which means they're still looking at things and doing more patches.

[brisk trail]

If you dash out of charging the spear's spin attack, does the resulting spin attack proc dash attack% buffs?

[high island]

Nope.

[brisk trail]

Thank

[civic pendant]

I remember in an old run, I had a bunch of speed increase stacks, including Billowing Call and the Hermes post-dash boon, and it made the control really slippery and feel terrible. Was that just me not being used to it, or is stacking speed like that garbage?

I just remember thinking at the time, “this can’t be intentional”

[brisk trail]

You can adjust your control sticks dead zone in settings to adjust for that

[craggy barn]

you could have at least gotten rush delivery

😔

[civic pendant]

It was a while ago—I might have!

[long nebula]

Does anyone else have cycles of playing non-stop for two weeks then feeling burnt out with this game?

[brisk trail]

Literally everything i play matches this description@long nebula

[long nebula]

what a mood

[brisk trail]

Followup tech question

Does the spin attack proc dash attack buffs if you charge it from a dash attack?

[craggy barn]

nope

[flat halo]

What's a good high heat setup for fist-spear-sword-shield

Also, mini bosses for the final boss is whack

[hollow hawk]

you shouldnt be taking em4 unless youre doing like 40-50 heat

also, what heat exactly are you going for when you say high heat?

16? 32? 40?

[vapid narwhal]

MM, BP1/2, EM3,TD2, some combination of LC, CF and FO as your backbone

add DC for fists, or weapons you plan to use zeus attack

dont take HS, EM4, CP

UC and AP arent bad

[runic parrot]

HS 👀

[versed zinc]

No Hades roadmaps

for 2021

[silk river]

Why put out a roadmap when 1: the game is launched, 2: They said they will take a break and then see whats next. No use for a roadmap if they haven't decided yet.

[high island]

No, but what does happen is that if you release your spin with a Dash, that Dash has i-frames.

Normally if you do a Dash-Strike or Dash-Special in the game, you don't get i-frames.

But you'll get i-frames for "Dash-Spin".

[gaunt tapir]

I just unlocked the "War-God's Bloodlust", it tells me I have to kill 10k enemies and then talk to Ares. I already have 19k slain, does that mean next time I find him I'll have the prophecy completed or does the count start from now?

[brazen lagoon]

You've already completed it

[gaunt tapir]

pog

[craggy barn]

if cerberus dies does he just come out of the styx like everyone else

[hardy oasis]

yeah

he also probably shakes the blood water off like a dog before going to the bed

[craggy barn]

can anyone even tell if he's drenched in blood or not?

oh dear no maybe he needs a bath

[unborn remnant]

Cerberus is immortal

[rich acorn]

Just finished watching through the developing hell series, excellent story with an excellent game.

[hollow cloak]

I got the "Sea-God's Spite" prophecy, which says "Vanquish 'Extreme measures' Theseus, then seek Poseidon", but I've killed him multiple times now on EM1 and EM2, but Poseidon never gives me the voiceline

[craggy barn]

turn on em3

[hollow cloak]

Does it have to be EM3? ;_;

I didn't even get past Lernie on em3

[craggy barn]

em3 or else

[hollow cloak]

EM3 it is!

[craggy barn]

not that bad really

not as bad as it gets that is, at least

[runic parrot]

its definitely one of the harder bosses with em on

[hardy oasis]

just remember

KILL ASTERIUS FIRST

Unless you like your Heroes fight with a dash of Beyblade

[wintry vapor]

spinspinspinspinspinspinspin

[runic parrot]

at least they dont delta strike

[hollow hawk]

the two times that i did em3, i killed theseus first

call me a risk-taker 😎

[supple basalt]

laughs in athena refflect and revenge boons build

starts looking like pegasus from the og series if you dont target him first ngl

[marsh rivet]

Lol, I did not know this. I've been playing a lot of spear in the last couple of days, maybe I'm just a trash panda.

[finite hazel]

@brisk trail Nothing personal.

@brisk trail Please, check him. I think he can suspend accounts on Steam.

[high island]

Tailesque casually told us sometime lol.

[finite hazel]

Guys! @pure hamlet CaptainMike is the scammer.

[brazen lagoon]

What's he doing

[finite hazel]

@brisk trail CaptainMike s a scammer. I have a proof.

@granite ether CaptainMike is a scammer. I have a proof.

<@&456908176877551658> CaptainMike is a scammer. I have a proof.

[tepid yacht]

DM me, and we’ll take care of it!

[copper canopy]

Actually, I’ve been finding recently it’s easier to kill Theseus first on EM3

When the chariot explodes, his health is low enough I can finish him off with a summon an a few attacks for a quick elimination

Plus, I need all the space I can get to dodge Asterius.

[craggy barn]

did you really need to ping sgg staff for that?

[brazen lagoon]

Mods would've been fine tbh

[hardy oasis]

yeah

oh well

[deep pivot]

It's alright

[brazen lagoon]

I like the pfp peach

[keen scarab]

first chance to get cluster rockets and its x-d out :(

im only running approval process for the prophecy too

so unfortunate

[half zephyr]

I had legendary boon x-d out twice my prophecy heat run..

So sad

[warm charm]

hades is so good

[glass salmon]

Btw how do you guys get your roles?

[craggy barn]

#bot-commands

[glass salmon]

Oh ok thanks

[raven igloo]

i always thought em3 was easier than non-em3

might just be me tho

[graceful flicker]

Why do people play x-ed out when they still have prophecies! Lol

[half zephyr]

My prophecy is the pact one..

So I kind of had to

[graceful flicker]

Oh hah

That's rough

[half zephyr]

Still won, but so annoying seeing the legendary boon come up TWICE and not being able to get it either times

Thankfully I’d already gotten it before for that prophecy XD

[brisk trail]

Hades is OK but...

[worldly sierra]

U crazy 🤣

It's not that em3 is extremely difficult or anything, but Asterius is significantly easier to deal with without it.

Granted, Theseus is somewhat irritating without the chariot, but they die so fast on em2 that there is no way I can say em3 is easier

[copper canopy]

Theseus is easier, Asterius is WAY harder.

[hybrid moon]

And asterius has even more life :")

[copper canopy]

Does anyone else feel bad for the ||surface|| fish you caught? They end up being put in an aquarium with those absolutely monstrous other fish.

[hybrid moon]

@copper canopy they cook the fish, and well I think most fishies are cute 🤣

[copper canopy]

Did you buy the aquarium? Considering it lists the total amount caught and Zagreus can comment on every type of fish he’s caught, it’s assumed they’re put in the tank instead, or at the very least, one of each species is.

[civic pendant]

That aquarium is really small

No way is it fitting hundreds of fish

[copper canopy]

You’re applying real world logic to both the underworld and a video game.

[hybrid moon]

We need a big fish boss hahaha okno

[civic pendant]

It’s a tank in a kitchen it’s definitely just storage for the next couple of fish to cook

[copper canopy]

The Bone Hydra kind of counts.

[civic pendant]

Hades needs an underwater level with a janky swimming mechanic

Just doesn’t feel like a video game without it

[hybrid moon]

;D

[copper canopy]

I like to think at least one of each species is kept, and some comments by other characters imply it’s a nice decoration rather than a storage method

[hollow kettle]

couldn't zag die if he goes in water

like the flames on his feet get put out

[copper canopy]

He exits a pool on every death

[hollow kettle]

true

I guess they're not extinguished that easily

[copper canopy]

He’s not Charmander, his life force isn’t linked to his feet.

[hybrid moon]

Cold kills him actually

[copper canopy]

If anything, at worst, they go out underwater and reignite upon exiting.

[copper canopy]

||a common cold kills him once||

[hybrid moon]

hahahaha

[halcyon oriole]

My favorite epilogue death is when he ||Wile E Coyotes himself into a tunnel painted on the side of a cliff||

[copper canopy]

My favorite might be ||diving into a pool of red liquid because a voice told him to, if only because it’s the only one we actually see||

[covert mason]

So I romanced Than, and I thought we'd have little dates in Zag's room, but they're not really even acting like a couple :( Does dating the characters make a difference in the dialogue at all? Other characters comment on the rumours but Than himself doesn't really act any differently.

[copper canopy]

It does make a difference actually. The dialogue is easier to notice with Meg, but Than has it too.

Also (spoiler) ||you do have little dates in your room||

[covert mason]

Omg really? Thank god XD

[grand crystal]

but those are stupid rare

[covert mason]

Better than nothing I suppose hehe

[grand crystal]

like ive been playing for about 90 runs and havent seen one

[copper canopy]

Then they wouldn’t be special

[grand crystal]

and i romanced him at like 30

also yall ever just start a new file to see dialogue again and beat hades by run 5

i wouldve by run 2 but i got screwed by the ||tiny vermin boss||

[covert mason]

Never thought of doing that but now I want to haha

[copper canopy]

I didn’t think you could get that boss that early on

[grand crystal]

yea, and the special run 1 hades dialogue is there for more than just the first run

i got it on the 2nd since i got to him

so like

:/

and damn the house is so empty without me having spent my life savings on chairs and rugs

[copper canopy]

It looks so... empty

I’m glad I’ve bought everything

[grand crystal]

yall early access boys remember the old hypnos art

i do and it haunts me

he doesnt look comfy

[copper canopy]

I’ve seen playthroughs of early access but not from that early

[grand crystal]

and whenever i talk to nyx i half expect the no art generic shade thing

[copper canopy]

Early enough where Nyx was a cloaked figure

[grand crystal]

but then remember they made her really hot for some reason

[copper canopy]

The night is beautiful

[grand crystal]

that was like i think 2 updates before full release when she got art

the nighty night update. introduced arthur aspect and fists

if im right

[copper canopy]

When did Charon get art? He was cloaked too.

[grand crystal]

i had to stop playing at that update too

ummm blood prince

right after nighty night

[copper canopy]

The playthrough was dated a little over a year ago

[grand crystal]

and the update right before full release

[copper canopy]

Like January 2020

[grand crystal]

ah yea i think that was around nighty night or blood prince

both right next to the finished game

i played back when the chaos update was the hip new thing

which i think was like 2-3ish years ago

my sense of time is nonexistent

[copper canopy]

Was that when they unfittingly used Patroclus’ theme for his realm?

[grand crystal]

did they??

idk

[copper canopy]

At one point apparently

[grand crystal]

i never used chaos and dont remember much

i just remeber being kinda disturbed by the chaos art since it just hits diffferent

like all those faces

[copper canopy]

Conversely, I almost always use Chaos.

[copper canopy]

ThatsTheBestPart.png

[grand crystal]

i mean if im plying low heat i go for it but i play at like >16 heat generally

so it gets too risky to loose 20hp on hell mode >16 heat

also man chaos really doesnt want to give me beo shield

im just getting his 1 liners for dialogue, like geez just tell me about the dumb dragon

[hollow kettle]

I was afraid of them at first because like spooky gate with blood price but they actually turned out to be pretty chill

as chill as the omniscient omnipotent progenitor of the universe can be

[grand crystal]

ofc ofc, very chill

[hollow kettle]

Plus having a character that's referred to with they/them pronouns and its just like the obviously correct and natural thing to do is so good

[hybrid moon]

||and a trio HAHAHAHA||

[narrow bronze]

Can you undo the option where you choose for hermes to stop talking to you or is he never going to talk to me again :(

[narrow hemlock]

he'll ask again after a while

[grand crystal]

HOW DARE YOU TELL HIM TO STOP TALKING

ill smite you myself

[copper canopy]

This tbh

Although, as I mentioned before, while 99% of the time I don’t skip dialogue, the other day I did for whatever reason, and when I skipped Hermes’, he made a little comment of approval.

Of course he’d be pleased with my trying to go as fast as possible.

[runic sparrow]

hah

[tight cave]

Does anyone have any idea if Approval Process chooses specific boons to remove from your choices every time if they show up for a god or is it completely random? Just tried a run with it and ran into Dionysus a few times, the game was pretty determined not to let me get Strong Drink.

[runic sparrow]

that's... a good question...

[runic parrot]

pretty sure its random because i have rerolled to get a boon that was crossed out before

[runic sparrow]

either you're unlucky or there's some weight to the boons that makes certain ones more likely to be picked by Approval Process

[mossy finch]

congrats on the physical release hades

[remote lily]

No, it's normal physical release. Not an limited run or other publisher

[sick socket]

4 days before my birthday

[copper pond]

[karmic hare]

Supergiant deserves it tho

[alpine breach]

[alpine breach]

I'm looking everywhere for preorders

[runic sparrow]

well given it's just announced, I doubt anything's up

at least not yet

[vapid robin]

how does the game play on switch? i have it on pc and i play with mnk

[karmic hare]

I'm when I saw Hades I was hoping dlc even tho they said no

[runic sparrow]

I think Controller is the recommended way to play, I believe

[vapid robin]

interesting

[brisk trail]

I take it we're talking about the Hades physical release?

[karmic hare]

Amazing

[vapid robin]

yes!

[alpine breach]

i play on pc with a controller, so the controls feel great

[karmic hare]

Slightly worse graphics tho

[vapid robin]

meh i’m not super concerned abt graphics

[undone moat]

I can't aim with mouse after playing with controller for 2 months

[vapid robin]

at least for a game like@this

at least i’m glad i’m here bc i know everyone in this discord will be talking about preorders when they go up LOL

[alpine breach]

Right?

I'm not gonna wanna miss this

[atomic sparrow]

best part of the Direct imo

[karmic hare]

Same Hades is 60 euro because if you get it once you get all 3

[regal patrol]

[violet sluice]

If I had cash to spare I’d buy it😔

[brisk trail]

i thought this was already a thing on the supergiant store iirc?? or maybe i imagined that

[undone moat]

I think it's out of stock

[upbeat crystal]

About the physical release, do you think that we can expect a similar version for PC too?

[upbeat crystal]

It is, sadly

[undone moat]

who uses a cd reader nowadays tho

release artbook plz

[karmic hare]

I wonder if I can buy the game return the cartridge and keep the rest

[undone moat]

HHAHAHAHHA mood

[alpine breach]

Give the game to a friend

[upbeat crystal]

I would love to buy a physical release for PC for collection purposes

[undone moat]

[upbeat crystal]

Absolutely

[undone moat]

that's fair I'd do the same 100%

[green dune]

hades physical switch release is coming

lame news, but it's something

[vocal remnant]

Welp, I'm about to buy that Hades physical just for the book x)

[vapid robin]

i’m wondering if it’s a limited release or not

[karmic hare]

Prob not

[vapid robin]

bc for stardew valley the physical release wasn’t limited

u can still get it on fangamer

[green dune]

unless it costs the same as the estore, why get physical copy?

[vapid robin]

i like having my switch games physical

[alpine breach]

^

[green dune]

i don't, swapping cartridges is lame

[alpine breach]

I like having a physical copy of anything

[karmic hare]

Same

[grand crystal]

it wont take 5gb tho

[alpine breach]

and i wanna support SG

[green dune]

I bought a 200gb memory card, it's easy

[narrow hemlock]

there was no mention of it, seems like retail release

[vapid robin]

i still have to decide if i want the physical release anyways lol

[vapid robin]

poggersssss that’s awesome

[karmic hare]

I just like the look of boxes

[vapid robin]

i’m just waiting to see how much it costs

[grand crystal]

[vapid robin]

but if it’s a retail release that means i can wait on it lol

[karmic hare]

Bye all

[craggy barn]

[weary yacht]

Art book

[runic sparrow]

ooo

nifty

[grand crystal]

yk i just need the artbook, i already have the music from having early access

[south gazelle]

I need this game

[copper pond]

The character art booklet looks ok but I'd really love like a full sized coffee table art book of Hades

it's such a beautiful game

[hardy gale]

I have the game on PC, purchased the soundtrack, got the digital on Switch and now I'm buying this physical copy on release. Totally worth it.

[alpine breach]

feels

[grand crystal]

yk i still feel bad for getting transistor for free ;w;

but at least im buying hades for a 3rd time

[brisk trail]

they deserve it

[hardy gale]

ikr

[runic sparrow]

@grand crystal get one game for free, make up for it by purchasing another one multiple times. 😛

fair exchange, I'd say.

[hardy gale]

The vinyl record looks hella cool though, but man is my wallet crying.

[grand crystal]

im still gonna buy transistor on my switch

i need to give them the money they deserve

i felt so scummy

the game was beautiful

[brisk trail]

i just bought Transistor on switch for like 3 bucks

[swift mist]

just tried starting hades on steam, it says "performing first time setup, installing microsoft VC redist package" and the bar has not progressed 1 bit

[vocal remnant]

Wait

[swift mist]

and it definitely is not my first time playing

[brisk trail]

sometimes they put Transistor and Bastion on a 75%-80% sale

[vocal remnant]

There's a vinyl record ?

[hardy gale]

https://store.supergiantgames.com/products/hades-original-soundtrack-vinyl

[past pollen]

Give me 1 good reason not to buy hades a third time

[vocal remnant]

Ooooooh

[brisk trail]

I'm gonna buy Bastion on Switch next time its on sale

[vocal remnant]

I don't have one.

I'm gonna do the same xD

[brisk trail]

So because I'm a Hades backer I have the soundtrack for free?

[vocal remnant]

Already bought it once on EGS (with a coupon)

[brisk trail]

where do I find the soundtrack?

[vocal remnant]

Where did you get it ?

[brisk trail]

epic games

[vocal remnant]

Okay, same as me

It should be in your games

[brisk trail]

the only place u could get it to back it im pretty sure

you're right

[narrow hemlock]

hey there, try checking in with #h1-tech-support if you're having issues!

[vocal remnant]

I was surprised as well when I got it back then x)

[brisk trail]

nice i never noticed it

the other day I honestly fell asleep to Orpheus playing the hymn to Zagreus lol

more games need to have hub worlds that make you wanna literally be there

[vocal remnant]

So :

• Bought it once with a coupon for Christmas last year
• Bought the Switch Digital version because I discovered Thanatos (didn't play much with the PC version)
• about to buy the Physical version of the game for the artbook

[crude onyx]

I’ve bought hades on PC 4 times, once for myself and three times for friends

Time to buy the physical edition

[brisk trail]

Bought it twice myself, one for me and a friend, and have convinced 4 people to get it themselves.

can't believe i never noticed backing it included the soundtrack for free

before I was like thinking backers should get at least something cool and we do

[neat tree]

Do we know if the game will show up twice in the switch menu if you own both physical and digital copies??

[shut wasp]

idk if i want the physical bc i already have switch digital

im leaning more towards yes tho

[shut wasp]

i got botw physical and digital and its only on the menu once so i would assume not

[opaque socket]

i don't know how i did it

but i beat extreme measures 4 on my first try

i think that's what it's called at least

[brisk trail]

Nice!

[cobalt lava]

is there a place to post HADES fan art?

not mine but some cool artists i see online

oh fan works

[copper canopy]

TIL Darren Korb’s lines as Zagreus and Skelly were originally just placeholders, but they enjoyed his performance so much more over everyone else that they kept him as the official voice.

(He did a fantastic job btw)

[hollow kettle]

Zagreus' voice is so good

[indigo cobalt]

has supergiant ever commented on if or when hades is coming to ps4/5

[opaque socket]

theres a part where zagreus does a fake laugh to one of hypnos' statements and its so god damn funny

[copper canopy]

Wait I think I know which one you’re talking about, I got it a few days ago, it was amazing.

[hollow kettle]

Zagreus is just such a good character in general

[copper canopy]

I died from the deadline pact of punishment running out, and he joked about it really being a deadline

[grand crystal]

i love skellys voice

but like damn their va's have so much range

[hollow kettle]

ey boyo less yappin more slappin

[copper canopy]

Zagreus just gave the most sarcastic annoyed laugh I’ve ever heard

[brisk trail]

I still want cheeky dialogue after romance scenes.

[grand crystal]

and i just want logan cunningham to just tell me a bedtime story

his voice is so buttery

[copper canopy]

@hollow kettle @grand crystal What about ||Skelly’s Prank||?

[grand crystal]

i was absolutely pissed when he had me ||waste 5 blood||

[glossy socket]

Any chance we are getting a deluxe physical release as well?

[copper canopy]

Jokes on you, I already maxed out the default aspect anyways

[grand crystal]

and like, i genuinely felt bad for skelly

but then he did that to me

[hollow kettle]

I didn't want him to never show up again 😔

[copper canopy]

I was wracking my mind about how they’d continue his story, and then that happened.

[grand crystal]

like i love skelly, i love darrens boston accent, but like, that was just a jerk move tbh

i never use base stygius unless im doing a new file and want to use sword

[dull niche]

look they just had to find a reason to make people invest in zag sword

lord knows nobody would do it otherwise

[grand crystal]

unless you want funny lifesteal sword builds ig

cuz like, 15% attack speed

prop that up with the hermes buff and the hammer

and flurry strike

and you just wont die

top it all of with nourished soul

[copper canopy]

Base Stygius works great with Flurry Slash

[grand crystal]

(this is just theory tho, ive yet to do that set up)

[copper canopy]

That’s exactly what I did and it was amazing

I got poisoned on purpose to test something and I could heal faster than it poisoned me

[grand crystal]

oh dame

damn

thats fast

and like, take stubborn roots and have no dd's

you literally cant die

hence why zag sword is better at lifesteal that gy

thank you for coming to my ted talk

[copper canopy]

Guan Yu makes me sad because on paper it should be my favorite weapon

But it doesn’t quite live up to how it should be.

[grand crystal]

yea

i miss old gy

when it could go through walls

that was a ride and a half

[copper canopy]

Yeah I read about that earlier today

[grand crystal]

but now i need to understand geometry

[copper canopy]

Coincidentally

[grand crystal]

early access was fun

i hope sgg puts in an easy way to downpatch

[copper canopy]

I also feel GY needs the right upgrades

[grand crystal]

cuz id love to play older versions for nostalgia

[grand crystal]

for sure, a very hammer heavy weapon

[copper canopy]

Like the spin lasting 80% longer

[grand crystal]

like the only legendary aspect i like is rama

all of the others feel wayy to clunky

[copper canopy]

Rama got me through 32

It’s fantastic

[grand crystal]

chiron got me through 32 😎

[copper canopy]

Well now that I’ve upgraded all aspects including Chiron, I might try that

[grand crystal]

yea

heart rend is an amazing setup

so is dire misfourtune + the other one that i forget the name of

and like anything hangover/chill related

and tbh it works with any god that isnt zeus

[copper canopy]

I saw and image earlier that said

“Why would you pick anything besides Divine Dash? It’s too good.”

They’re right

[grand crystal]

yea divine dash is crazy

[copper canopy]

(Although I enjoy Artemis Dash on bow)

[grand crystal]

it literally lets you 1 shot elysium witches

[grand crystal]

yes, i only dash attack with bow

[brazen lagoon]

Hunter dash is pretty good with rama

[swift mist]

just dealt almost 3k damage in 1 hit with a backstab hunter's mark heavy attack from aspect of rama bow. now i wanna see how much damage i can get with 1 hit with the best setup

[humble lotus]

Whg is it every time i need to talk to a specific chaeacter they arnt available to talk to

[copper canopy]

I’m 85% certain that’s how you’re supposed to use it, because that’s the only thing I do too.

[grand crystal]

and athena dash also lets you just deal 400 to charon for free if you time it right

[grand crystal]

the fates are against you

[brazen lagoon]

Dash striking is the only viable option with bow

[copper canopy]

Default and Rama definitely

[grand crystal]

i mean ive done standing shots with like sniper for the sake of focus and damage

its not that bad

just sub par

[copper canopy]

Most people hate the bow until they realize you can dash strike repeatedly

Flurry Shot isn’t too bad though tbh

[brisk trail]

Flurry Shot is awesome with Zag bow.

It does basically nothing for the other 2 (I don't think it can even spawn with Rama).

[copper canopy]

I hate explosive shot because now dash shots take awhile to shoot too

[copper canopy]

It can’t

Same with Flurry Strike on Arthur
