damn just now realized the wretched broker exists

#

a key is equal to 10 gems but all of the other trades are pretty BS

500 GEMS FOR A DIAMOND

bruh

Base damage increases statistically almost always provides more effect than adding % dmg increases. It is better to take an existing fraction of a larger base than a larger fraction of an existing base, at least in terms of what is provided here. For example, if you can level up doom flourish or attack vs. Impending Doom, the damage will be a little higher.

id rather have 20 nectar than 1 titan blood

half zephyr
#

Why

#

Eventually you’ll run out of people to give nectar to hehe

#

Just like you’ll run out of aspects to give blood

desert meadow
#

By who? I've seen JP do a damageless run by abusing the acorn, but if you're referring to a pure hitless run, not sure who did it.

uncut ore
#

and titan blood is overrated anyways

half zephyr
#

Darkness is where it’s at

uncut ore
#

aspects are like +3% dps

half zephyr
#

No

#

All aspects are different hehe

#

And go to lvl 5

uncut ore
#

yeah but like

No..

Of course it's Haelian

runic sparrow
#

no abuse of any dodge/block/deflect

#

he just literally does not take any damage whatsoever

desert meadow
#

I'll need to give that a watch later then

uncut ore
#

I dont understand why zag thniks tisiphone is calling him a murderer

#

I think she just wants to murder him

half zephyr
#

Because she calls him a murderer?

Aspect of Zeus is a fun aspect with 'special' boons

#

just toss out a shield and you've made a no-go zone

half zephyr
uncut ore
#

so odd that theres apparently so much story

half zephyr
#

No it’s not

uncut ore
#

but I literally havent experienced any of it and im like 50 hours in

half zephyr
#

It’s Greek mythology

#

You just have to talk to people, interact with them

#

Give gifts

uncut ore
#

uncut ore
half zephyr

Wear certain keepsakes

There’s story in just about every interaction with Demeter

I’m a baby

#

Took me 80 hours to get one clear

half zephyr
#

It’s been out for 2-3 years now via early access

#

My tiny 105+h is nothing

desert meadow
#

I'll probably have about 200+ by the time I 100% the darn thing, outside of heat

uncut ore
#

yeah 100% in this game seems insane

#

but like

half zephyr
#

And there’s aspects that give me 200+ attack

uncut ore
#

I have 600 hours in eu4 and I havent completed the tutorial

half zephyr
#

My dps becomes amazing

desert meadow
#

Insane but fun

uncut ore
#

just put these things in proportion

half zephyr
#

I do specials that are 1k+

final trellis
half zephyr
#

And I’m not even doing the crazy stuff the heat people are doing hehe

desert meadow
#

Yeah, I have yet to touch heat

half zephyr
#

I have fun with heats

uncut ore
#

calc

#

wait

#

oops

desert meadow
#

I want to be decently consistent before then tbh

half zephyr

But I’m cautious w them

I'm gonna complete a run with each weapon before I go to hear

half zephyr
#

Ye did that

#

I follow The Darkness

desert meadow
#

I am considering trying max heat and seeing how far I get after maxing my first non aspect just for the heck of it

half zephyr
#

Max heat is 63 hehe

uncut ore
half zephyr
#

You don’t get new rewards after 20

final trellis
#

I tried it and didn't even make it to the sisters

half zephyr
#

Or so

uncut ore
#

did you die tons of times in tartarus?

desert meadow
#

I'll probably die room 1 but it sounds stupid enough to try

half zephyr
#

So long as you have fun 🤩

#

Go for it!

uncut ore
#

how much dmg does my special do?

#

the shield

#

special

half zephyr
#

Try it by beating Skelly

uncut ore
#

15 damage

#

hmm

half zephyr
#

A number will pop up

#

The base shield special bounces

#

It’s pinball

uncut ore
half zephyr
#

Get doom or smth on it

uncut ore
#

what do I pick?

half zephyr
#

Do not replace the doom

desert meadow
#

What aspect are you using?

uncut ore
uncut ore

I'd go with her call

uncut ore

desert meadow
#

Doom on Zag shield special is good tbh

uncut ore
#

I had it a couple of times

half zephyr
#

Her call can be great

desert meadow
#

Nah, her call is amazing

half zephyr
#

If you use it right

uncut ore
#

sure

unborn remnant
#

hello

half zephyr
#

It’s all about timing hehe

half zephyr
desert meadow
#

It's best when pommed, as that increases the time it lasts

uncut ore
half zephyr
#

If you don’t want the call then just do holy shield

unborn remnant
#

how we doing?

half zephyr
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Revenge damage is revenge damage

desert meadow
#

^

half zephyr
#

It’s always nice to have

desert meadow
#

I'd just take Athena call because the other good options may not pop up later on (Zeus and Poseidon)

unborn remnant
#

good runs recently?

desert meadow
#

I'm on a streak on 9 so I'd say so

There’s also the badge

I cant get back skelly's thingy?

now that I used it once

unborn remnant
#

yeah

half zephyr
uncut ore
#

oh

uncut ore
#

I swapped it out so I will swap it back in the styx

half zephyr
#

If you switch something out you can’t switch it back in

uncut ore
#

guess not

desert meadow
#

Yeah, the tooth is a last resort

half zephyr
#

Not if you wanna talk to Hermès thinkOwO

desert meadow
dawn light
#

is there some issue with aphrodite last locked heart?

unborn remnant
#

Does hermes actually have the accent on the e

dawn light
#

I have all the romance characters bonds maxed out

#

but still can't get the last unlocked heart from aphro

dusky wedge
half zephyr
unborn remnant
#

oh

half zephyr
#

I just don’t bother to correct it back

unborn remnant
#

Hermés

half zephyr
#

It’s the fashion brand

half zephyr
#

That’s usually the answer to everything

dawn light
#

No, I can't even give her an ambrosia

dusky wedge
#

The weird belt thingy Hermès lol

uncut ore
#

wow

#

I got 2 duos already

#

highest amount ive ever got 😦

half zephyr
#

If it’s still locked you can’t give it

uncut ore
#

damn my luck is horrible

half zephyr
#

If it’s unlocked idk

desert meadow
#

I've had 4 in a run before iirc

half zephyr
#

I’ve had so many duos

#
  • 2 legendary
dawn light
#

that's so weird

half zephyr
#

You have to advance her story, do dialogue, maybe hit some unlock condition, make her trust you

#

Then it unlocks

#

For me it’s all been random for the gods

#

I got Ares first on accident

dusky wedge
#

Probably there’s still some conversations that’s still not discovered yet?

hollow kettle
#

I got Poseidon’s legendary before I got him to give me Rip Current

desert meadow
#

You have the locked heart condition met, now it's just rng till the game decides to give you the line that actually unlocks it

uncut ore
dawn light
#

I've had everythign else unlocked for a long time

half zephyr
#

He has 2

hollow kettle
#

Both

dusky wedge

Some conversations require other conversations to happen first, I think

dawn light
uncut ore
half zephyr
uncut ore
#

whats erebus?

half zephyr
#

He refused to give me wave one

hollow kettle
#

It’s the infernal gates

half zephyr
#

Pact stuff

hollow kettle
#

It’s a house contractor renovation you have to buy

dusky wedge
#

Challenge gates

#

“No hit” challenges

half zephyr
#

You have to use heats to have any use from them

desert meadow
#

His legendary for increased fishing spot chances is also preset to appear once you first meet the conditions for it, that's why you got it before the other one.

uncut ore
#

damn hades pvp might be fun

hollow kettle
#

But at a certain heat level you can go into them and you have to kill a bunch of enemies without getting hit you get the reward and if you don’t you get a raw red onion that heals you for 1 health

#

I am so terrible at those

half zephyr
#

I had all prerequisites for his 2nd legend multiple runs in a row

#

He just wanted to give me dio boons instead

hollow kettle
#

Literally even with the shield even with deflect boons

half zephyr
#

I hate that I’ll have to get it 3 more times sob

uncut ore
hollow kettle
#

I can’t do it

uncut ore
#

I mean

#

it seems relatively ok

half zephyr
#

Ofc Huge Catch is best legendary

desert meadow
#

It's a good boon for catching fish, and that's about it

half zephyr
#

You get phish

uncut ore
#

it seems like an average legendary

half zephyr
#

And they give rewards

desert meadow
#

I'd go for it if you're not seeing fish spots in chaos much, otherwise nah

uncut ore
#

atleast to me

half zephyr
#

You can get nectar from fish

#

And darkness

half zephyr
#

Gems

uncut ore
#

bruh

desert meadow
#

Yes

uncut ore
#

fish the void

half zephyr
#

Ambrosia, diamond, titan blood

grand crystal
#

you can also get diamonds, ambro, and titan blood from fish :3

desert meadow
#

Void fish are best fish

half zephyr
#

Fishing is amazing

half zephyr
dusky wedge
#

Void is a sea.. of darkness.. in space

uncut ore
#

I mean it gave me a few keys

half zephyr
#

Unless I need surface rewards

uncut ore
#

but like

dusky wedge
#

So, alien fish

half zephyr
#

There’s many

desert meadow
#

If you can fish, I'd always do it

#

It can't hurt

half zephyr
#

Exactly

uncut ore
#

fishing is nice but it isnt OP

desert meadow
#

But you can also trade for stuff at the dealer if needed

half zephyr
#

No one has said it is

uncut ore
half zephyr
dusky wedge
#

For the memes lmao

desert meadow

^

uncut ore
#

I really dont get it

#

it seems like an average boon

dusky wedge
#

Yes

half zephyr
#

It’s nice if you get it in Tartarus

desert meadow
#

Not sure what the actual best legendary is tbh, maybe Aphrodite's? Randomly charming bosses can disrupt attacks, but idk

half zephyr
#

Terrible if you get it in styx

half zephyr
#

But it all depends on my build

#

The Hermès retrieve one is nice too

dusky wedge
#

Zeus is best if you can get the full build

#

I like it

half zephyr
#

Insta return for bloodstone

desert meadow
#

Ares and Athena's are good, yeah

dusky wedge
#

Only ever got it once though

desert meadow
#

Chaos' is great

half zephyr
#

Only if you need dd

desert meadow
#

I just like Aphrodite's because I've gotten it the most

half zephyr
#

I don’t care for charm that much

#

By the time my enemy is charmed I’ve just about killed them maximsigh

uncut ore
#

whats the best treasure trove time ever?

#

infernal trove*

half zephyr
#

Mine is getting from 150 gold to 141 I think

#

Then it was over

#

Or 75 gems to 69 thinkexponential

#

It’s not that difficult to clear troves

dusky wedge
#

Nice

half zephyr
#

Just get a nice room & boons

#

Asphodel is ick

#

So much lava sob

cerulean ferry
#

Yeah...I enjoy dashing a lot so in Asphodel I just end up dashing into the lava like an idiot

grand crystal
#

cuz its underground

half zephyr
#

Eh

#

It’s more fun to play the floor is lava

uncut ore
#

3 DUOS

#

damn

desert meadow
#

Poseidon boons in Asphodel are great, just knock the enemies into lava

grand crystal
#

and i was running for cold embrace

#

and i didnt get cold embrace

#

so it was very sad

uncut ore
#

#

thats v hypocritical

uncut ore
grand crystal
#

yep

dusky wedge
#

Theseus and Alecto, world’s most lovable characters

uncut ore
#

and hades

#

Theseus needs his ass beat.

uncut ore
#

dont forget hades

half zephyr
#

Don’t be too hard on Hades

#

He gets better

uncut ore
#

oh ok

half zephyr
#

And Theseus is just an adorable angry little kitten

uncut ore
#

grand crystal
#

yea hes just a dad trying his best

grand crystal
half zephyr
dusky wedge
#

Reminds me of all the shade’s requests that he rejected back at the house

half zephyr
#

We never get to hear the requests though

dusky wedge
#

“Rejected!” shadegrief

half zephyr
#

Maybe they all be requesting to come back to life for all we know

cerulean ferry
#

They might be

desert meadow
#

Maybe they're all as sick of Theseus as Zag is

#

any idea?

uncut ore
#

wtf hades just glitched out

grand crystal
#

hestia works only with the first bullet

#

so i dont think it would work

#

since 1: youd have to keep reloading(which youre already doing but still)
2: delta shoots 3 and it only procks on the first one i think

uncut ore
#

wow I killed hades a 2nd time

grand crystal
#

but i could be wrong

grand crystal
uncut ore
#

ayyy new record

#

by like 10 minutes

alright. 22000 darkness to go

#

see you on the 30h time

sudden yarrow
#

That's pretty fast@uncut ore

rotund galleon
#

good job my man

uncut ore
#

that isnt fast is it?

#

on 1 heat

sudden yarrow
#

I thought you said 10 minutes @uncut ore

uncut ore
#

10 minutes better than last time

sudden yarrow
#

Alright it makes sense now

uncut ore
#

can you enter hades's room?

sudden yarrow
#

His bed chamber?@uncut ore

uncut ore
#

I guess yeah

#

top right of his house

half zephyr
#

My longest run is 37 min I think on heat 7 or 6 or 8

#

My normal run time is around the 30 min mark or down to 23 mins

#

Just dashing whenever possible

uncut ore
#

wtf wheres skelly

half zephyr
#

Still not ready for timer heat rank 2 maximsigh

grand crystal
#

td2 is stressful on high heat

uncut ore
#

wait I dont get something

#

on rank 2 you start with 5 minutes

#

and then it goes down by 2 minutes every world?

#

so like

#

you got -5 minutes to beat hades?

#

how?

grand crystal
#

wait wut

#

thats

#

not how td works

uncut ore
#

then how?

grand crystal
#

td gives you a limit to get through each area in the game

uncut ore
#

isnt it 5 minutes for tartarus then 3 for asphodel etc

grand crystal
#

starting at 9 minutes for base 1st

uncut ore
#

yes

grand crystal
#

and loosing 2 minutes every level

uncut ore
#

and 2nd starts at 5

uncut ore
grand crystal
#

capping at 5

#

9 7 5

uncut ore
#

oh ok

#

and what does tier 2 do?

#

start a 5?

#

and cap when?

#

also why would you play with so much heat? is there any reward for it?

grand crystal
#

and after you clear and area you get the next area time added on(i.e ending tart at 3 minutes left on a 7 minute td you now have 10 minutes to clear asphodel)

grand crystal
uncut ore
#

so you have 9 minutes to finish the game with tier 2?

#

that sounds insane

#

like speedrun pace

grand crystal
#

tier 1 is 9 minutes per area

uncut ore
#

wait

grand crystal
#

tier 2 is 7 per area

#

and tier 3 is 5 per area

#

annotated as td1, td2, and td3

uncut ore
#

in tier 1 you get 9 for tartarus then 7 for asphodel then 5 for elysium styx and greece

grand crystal
#

nonono

#

9 for each

uncut ore
#

ohhh

#

ok I see

grand crystal
#

cool

uncut ore
#

ah ok I get it

#

so I can play with tier 1

#

wait hades boss fight is in greece or styx?

grand crystal
#

greece isnt a times area since its limited to story

#

he counts as styx

#

you arent timed for greece

uncut ore
uncut ore
#

a bit odd tbh since like... hes above ground

#

but sure

grand crystal
#

and td1 is essentially beat the game in 36 minutes so its ez :3

#

i play with td2 on high heat and im relatively ok

grand crystal
#

after you beat the game(main story) it just ends at the hades fight

desert meadow
#

Hades counts as Styx because each area ends with a boss

#

He's the boss for Styx, even if the fight itself isn't in the temple

grand crystal
#

^^^ thats a better explanation than what i gave

robust swan
#

Oof, I'm actually tempted to trade 1 blood for 200 gems in order to get the 500 gem trove upgrade.

covert mason
#

Hey guys, I'm trying to do a no boon challenge to get the secret dialogue. What counts as a boon exactly when doing this? Is it just not having the cast, special, attack, call, and dash? Do secondary boons count? Or chaos?

desert meadow
#

I would assume chaos boons count

covert mason
#

And will it still work if I had to pick up a boon, but purged it asap?

desert meadow
#

It's only when you reach Hades himself

#

So you can take boons beforehand but you must purge then later

covert mason
#

Ohh okay thanks

#

And daedalus doesn't count right? Because I was forced to take it and you can't purge those.

desert meadow
#

Nope, those aren't boons

covert mason
#

Thanks!

restive cave
#

explosive upper or rolling knuckle?

grand crystal
#

what aspect??

#

if demeter aspect take explosive and i think talos is better with rolling

covert mason
#

😭 I got screwed. There were zero purge fountains and now I'm stuck with 1 dio boon

grand crystal
#

#

that happened to me once

#

i got a 3rd room sack and the sack was in a boon reward

covert mason
#

Damn. That sucks

grand crystal
#

yeaaa

my first time doing it tho i got lucky and used rama and got the boonless dialogue

Here's a question for everyone, has anyone experienced dialog audio not playing sometimes? I've been having that happen every so often

#

You answered yourself though 😂

vivid dagger
#

Uhm, so I assume that random game-related questions can be written here?

#

I read the readme-first channel but I'm still a bit confused

just bought hades, im really hyped to get into it

#

Guys how do i

waxen juniper
#

Gonna have to be a million times more specific than that

waxen juniper
vivid dagger
#

It's regarding Hades

waxen juniper
#

Pyre, Transistor, and Bastion all have their own channels to ask questions related to them as well.

#

Then by all means! Ask away!

vivid dagger
#

Neat! Because I was wondering if it's a common thing that the Hydra heads don't...come out? In my plays they sometimes get stuck for maybe five seconds in the place where they spawn

#

It doesn't ruin the run for me but it has left me scratching my head on more than one occasion

dusky scaffold
#

1 more hour and I'm off for the weekend I recon this weekend imma get my first escape came really close last night and that was my first time getting to hades ( to be fair I new his moves before hand from watching runs) but im def a bit more familiar with them now after experiencing them

#

does blood frenzy stack if you use multiple death defiance in one fight?

I can't wait to play

sudden ember
#

Has anyone noticed the dialogue system? The game chooses lines that make sense in the context of your current progress in the story, last run you had (Zeus might remark that he thought I reached the surface in last run), the weapons you have (Hades might make a remark if you have the spear with Hades' element) and so much more!
I honestly don't know what data structure allows for such a rich system, any ideas how it's implemented?

vivid dagger
#

Someone made a video about that!

#

Let me see if I can find it

#

Oh, wait, are we allowed to share YouTube links here?

runic sparrow
#

I'm sure it probably checks a list of conditions, and each condition has some kind of weight attached or something

#

go for it sora, I shared one earlier

#

as long as it's hades related, you should be good

vivid dagger
#

Alrighty! Thank you 😊

runic sparrow
#

also question: Any story spoilers, or am I save on that front?

#

I've done quite a bit of the dialogue

#

but it'll still be nice to know if there's any actual plot that gets brought up

vivid dagger
#

In the video, you mean?

runic sparrow
#

yeah

vivid dagger
#

Let me check it up. I watched it shortly after I started playing and I don't remember getting spoiled

#

give me like 10 minutes and I'll go back at ya!

runic sparrow
#

seeing as it's about specific instances of dialogue, I doubt it's too spoiler heavy

vivid dagger
#

I don't remember getting spoiled but it won't hurt to quickly check it again

runic sparrow
#

they have so many little dialogue options that most players will never see

#

did you know Hades has dialogue for if you reach him boonless?

vivid dagger
#

I diiiid, thanks to Haelian, I think

runic sparrow
#

one of my favorites is that Hypnos comments on if you make it to the surface in one run, then in the very next run you die in the first couple of rooms

#

Zag even says 'I, uh, forgot something' when coming out of the pool

vivid dagger
#

I think I got that one 😂

grand crystal
#

thats scary

runic sparrow
#

HAH

#

he riffs on Theseus

vivid dagger
#

Ok so....Orpheus and Eurydice... So yeah, no heavy spoilers over here!

#

"Hades' true ending" yep, zero spoilers in the video!

lilac jolt
#

any tips on how to better catch fish in the game?

runic sparrow
#

Jengi: get faster reaction times

#

that's literally it

#

if you react to the tug faster, you have a better chance of getting better fish

lilac jolt
#

thanks

tight needle
#

The window is generous enough that if you get used to the tell and practice, it'll become fairly easy over time. Was definitely struggling initially but then got used to it and it was easy from there

runic sparrow
#

is there a tell beyond the flash as the fish actually grabs the lure?

tight needle
#

I don't think so, but i believe it's visual and audio. Personally I find that the audio queue is usually the thing that better aides me than the visual.

runic sparrow
#

I should try closing my eyes next time and see if that helps

Question: Has Supergiant revealed any plans for the long term of Hades? Expansions, DLC, free updates of new zones and bosses of hell, expanded story/conversations/characters, etc.? I'd totally be down for paid content but just wanted to know if they've revealed any plans or links that i can follow up regarding that.

hey question — what exactly do themes do (from the house contractor)? are they just decorative for victory screen cards? or do they do stuff around the house too

brazen lagoon
grand crystal
#

but they look pretty and let you flex

#

I thought SGG said Hades was finished?

grand crystal
#

like if it doesnt catch on the very first dip, then it can every other dip, so there is a bit of a pattern to the fish @runic sparrow

paper matrix
#

theres a bit of an audio cue with the flash too

#

idk how to describe it but like, it sounds diff

runic sparrow
#

Now that Early Access is over, what's next? Once we're sure our v1.0 launch has settled, our small team will be taking a break to recharge, and plan what's next. We'll be excited to say more about what's in store for us just as soon as we're ready.

#

@tight needle

#

When was 1.0 released?

#

mid december or something?

brazen lagoon
#

1.0 was in September I'm pretty sure

#

That was the official launch

runic sparrow
#

so it was

#

dunno where I got december from

narrow hemlock
#

As of current, Hades is ultimately a finished game with a resolved narrative and i personally wouldn't expect anything remotely on the scale a lot of people are hopeful for if we get anything else

runic sparrow
#

what scale are people expecting?

narrow hemlock
#

Like the comment I quoted

short geyser
#

to get skellys presents, do i need to beat hades or just reach the surface with enough heat?

runic sparrow
#

oh herp

runic sparrow
#

@short geyser I believe you need to actually clear that run

narrow hemlock
#

yes

runic sparrow
#

so you gotta tell dad to frick off

short geyser
#

okay first time trying anything higher than 2 heat, if i beat this it'll also finsih the propechy to do all the different pacts

tight needle
# narrow hemlock As of current, Hades is ultimately a finished game with a resolved narrative and...

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. Supergiant is a fairly small team, and so for the most part I think they're very much a everyone works on the same project together thought process, and wouldn't have the people to split their goals.

Everything I can see seems more likely that they'll move onto their next project, but the design and success of Hades seems like there'd be room and opportunity to expand and grow as well, almost a bit more than their other games have.

Regardless, I'll likely be following whatever next thing they put out. I love the work they've done on all their titles, even if I didn't get into Transistor or Pyre as much as I've loved Bastion and Hades.

restive cave
#

whats the best boon to look for with the special on the bows 4th aspect

#

lightning?

grand crystal
#

while i keep my main attack as aphro

#

allows for easy ps procking

restive cave
#

does richochet fire proc chain lightning on the target it bounces to also?

#

or would piercing fire be better with the aspect of eris attack with chain lightning

copper canopy
#

Maybe?

#

It doesn’t seem to proc them if you’re using Sea Storm

#

But it might if it’s that instead.

rich acorn
#

What's the ability that stops you from getting stunned?

copper canopy
#

Sturdy

rich acorn
#

Who's it from?

copper canopy
#

Certain boons and hammer upgrades grant it, it will say in the description if it does.

rich acorn
#

Ah my bad, I think it's a specific boon

#

Unshakable mettle, it's a Poseidon and Athena Duo

grand crystal
#

that doesnt give you sturdy

#

thats just a damage res boon

#

sturdy is given by hammers only i think

#

like colossal knuckle, that one spear one

#

oh hermes gives it nvm

copper canopy
#

Wait when you say stun, do you mean flinching or stun like from the hand enemies?

rich acorn
#

Yeah I'm thinking of the stun from like the green bottles in the Hades fight

grand crystal
#

oh thats different

copper canopy
#

Yeah that kind of stun doesn’t have a resistance iirc

rich acorn
#

Or tisiphone's whip

grand crystal
#

yea i dont think it does either

#

its just a stun

copper canopy
#

Just make like a potato and mash

grand crystal
#

^^lol yea

rich acorn
#

Really?

grand crystal
#

yeaa

rich acorn
#

Wow

grand crystal
#

i dont think anything gives you res to those

#

since sturdy is exclusively flinching

rich acorn
#

Ive used it before Ig I just never got caught with that boon

broken marsh
#

whats the most max hp you have ever had?

jagged trellis
#

I just died at the end of the game while someone was talking to me and I wasn’t paying attention

#

Is there anyway to go back?

#

I was gonna beat it

broken marsh
#

nope

#

how much heat were u

jagged trellis
#

It would have been my first time beating it

broken marsh
#

oh

#

just try

#

again

#

beating hades isnt so hard

jagged trellis
#

I can’t believe I wasted all that time

#

I just wanna be done with it

broken marsh
#

ur not done after hades u know

#

there a but more u need to do to "complete the game"

narrow hemlock
#

your first win is frankly just opening up the game

#

there's a lot of gameplay and narrative that doesnt unlock until you complete your first run

vivid dagger
#

Gentle reminder that God Mode is a viable option for everyone!

jagged trellis
broken marsh
#

beating the game

#

i mean beating the game is getting all wareapons and completing all the heat

grand crystal
#

"beating the game" is different for everyone

#

but the main plot solves after ||10 clears||

narrow hemlock
#

if you're just gunning for the credits, that takes 10 wins if thats all you want to see. there will be a lot of narrative and gameplay you skip out on though

jagged trellis
#

Oh I guess that’s why the ign guy said it took him 31 attempts

grand crystal
#

yea and if you want epilogue itll take some more :3

#

but just play to where youre content

jagged trellis
#

I was confused cuse I was gonna beat it on 13

grand crystal
#

yea rogue likes have a lot more that requires beating it several times

#

i dont know a single rogue like that just ends after beating it once

narrow hemlock
#

really just depends on the game. with hades the narrative is interwoven with the gameplay and your deaths are used to drive the narrative further

final trellis
#

hades is so good omg

jagged trellis
#

How many phases does the final boss have?

carmine ravine
#

2

#

||Or 3 with Em4||

robust swan
#

I started working on unlocking cosmetic items for the house and it is also an enjoyable part of the game

carmine ravine
#

Its like the sims with extra stepsdusa

spare tiger
#

Hey how much is it to unlock EM4 again?

carmine ravine
#

I dont remember but its probably pretty cheap

spare tiger
#

I remember it being like 3 or 4 diamonds

pine copper
#

im pretty sure its 4 or 5

carmine ravine
#

Thats kinda cheap

JGHSFGJDFG eurydice called Orpheus Orphy and I am living for itttt

every single enemy in that area can screw off

#

Nah the big poison rats

spare tiger
#

Oh

#

Seriously though tiny rat can go die in the deepest hole in hell

#

That thing devouers my death defiances

ancient current
#

the tiny rats are the easiest styx enemies to deal with for me

spare tiger
#

Not normal ones

#

The tiny rat

ancient current
#

Oh yea i’ve heard about
that miniboss i think
but i haven’t fought it in a run yet

spare tiger
#

I swear that bastard has more health than hades

#

You REALLY don't wanna run into it in styx

carmine ravine
#

the miniboss isnt that hard, it even have only 1 phase

spare tiger
#

Unless you have 2 defiances minimum and near full health

#

I'd just get out of styx when you can

ancient current
#

so glad i’ve only had to go through all five dungeons once

spare tiger
#

Want a trick?

#

Look for the doors with no boss indicators

ancient current
#

i’ve gotten the sack in the second dungeon i went in several times now

spare tiger
#

90% of the time you'll get the sack within 3

#

And on the off chance you dont it's usually in the 4th room

ancient current
#

Yea i always go through the non boss doors

waxen juniper
#

Usually you want to actually go through the boss doors first. 1) they are faster and 2) they give better loot

carmine ravine
#

they are too afraid of the tiny vermin, probably bcoz they cant do enuf dmg

waxen juniper
#

Then it's time for them to face their fears 😎

ancient current
#

i haven’t even seen the tiny vermin yet
But yea guess i can do that next run

waxen juniper
#

Tbh, non boss doors are actually much harder since the waves of enemies are quite tough in styx

ancient current
#

tell me about it

waxen juniper
#

For bosses in styx, you only have 1 giant enemy that occasionally spawns another enemy from time to time. The enemy count is significantly less.

#

Of course, this is not true for tiny vermin

wild solar
#

Did Zag and Than just do what I think they did

good luck

thank you

we deserve a fishing keepsake for increased fish chance

reached him twice but second phase kills me both times

make this an extra effect of poseidon boon or make new fish character

#

fish character would be pog

hearty bramble

LOL fish character

#

i was thinking poseidon keepsake buff

#

idk we just deserve more fish

acoustic quartz

wait i meant keepsake not boon lmao

but yea i also think there should be a keepsake for better fish chances

I lovvvv Poseidon

so does refreshing nectar give your next set of three boons an upgrade or is the next 3 boons you pick up?

manic bobcat
#

The next 3 boons you pick up I'm fairly sure.

untold blade
#

hi, i have some questions about hades on the switch

#

will each switch profile have their own set of saves?

potent root
#

HelltakerThink thats a good question - and which one is part of the save share with steam

eager kindle
potent root
#

sooo kinda not always?

untold blade
#

yeah, AC doesn't do that

eager kindle
#

Maybe AC is the outlier? 😂

untold blade
#

thanks!

potent root
#

it might be, nintendo was weird about it

untold blade
#

also, once i enable cross-saves, i can play on either steam or switch and my save will get transferred right?

eager kindle
#

Yep

untold blade
#

thanks again

#

i already have it on steam, i wanna get it on my switch so my siblings can play as well

Hearing the Hades title theme music after beating [REDACTED] for the first time just made me feel like a badass

#

It feels so good. I love the way this game makes me feel.

#

I'm making a Hades review.

#

I love this game to no-end.

simple tulip
#

does the satyr sack always appear in one of the chambers with a boss?

proven brook
proven brook
#

In any case, if the sack appears in a chamber with the boss symbol, there's no boss to fight.

simple tulip
#

what does it mean then?

#

doing a rail run right now. i equipped the zeus keepsake to get zeus attack but here a god ive never (demeter) seen offers me 53%+ damage with "chill"

#

do i accept it

#

or go for demeter special

proven brook
#

I never tried that 53% damage, but the special is cool.

simple tulip
#

inflicts chill too

proven brook
simple tulip
#

but going for demeter atk means i cant get zeus attack D:

#

yeah yeah

#

i got it in the 3rd chamber

#

but by then i lost my death defiance to the damn satyrs

#

so i couldnt beat hades

proven brook
#

Shiiii-

simple tulip
#

anyways would a zeus attack or demeter +53% attack be better

proven brook
#

Demeter. I'm not a fan of Zeus's attack. The lightning bouncing is cute, but nothing good tbh.

simple tulip
#

it 2x my dps though

#

late game i get art support fire and possibly the zeus legendary splitting bolt and i do a lot of damage

pine copper
#

for casual runs I really like demeter attack and special

simple tulip
#

yeah i got the demeter attack

#

i wish i gave her a nectar though

#

:(

#

i forgot abt it

pine copper
#

she'll be back

simple tulip
#

im noticing a lot of dmg

#

is demeter or zeus atk better for eris rail gun?

pine copper
#

well I speedrun with eris and zeus attack like most people lol

brisk trail
#

Zeus by a pretty wide margin.

pine copper
#

but like I said I think demeter is more fun when im playing casual

brisk trail
#

Fun is subjective, so if that's what you prefer than play it.

simple tulip
#

wb the demeter cast?

#

is it good

brisk trail
#

Not fast, but super scary with Crystal Clarity.

#

Get Stygian Soul, Glacial Glare, a few extra Bloodstones, and a couple of Poms and you can get upwards of 10 Crystals on the ground all at the same time.

What happens when you max out characters with ambrosia and stuff? I've only done it with Chiron (the boatman, dunno if I spelled that right) and he gave me a bossfight. What do the actual boon gods do?

#

I've also spammed them on Dusa and Skelly because they're awesome

runic parrot
#

doesnt do anything apart from strengthening your bond

#

which also does nothing

untold blade
restive cave
#

the 4th aspect on the gun i think is the highest damage build ive been able to put together, i used lightning boon for the special and then made it have a chance to strike twice, i didnt know what daddy hammer boons would be best for it but i did have a concentrated volley with it

#

ended up losing at the end because i didnt have athena dash like a pleb

simple tulip
#

what is the item called? that theseus and sterius drops the 1st time u kill tjem?

#

nvm i found out its ambrosia

#

is ambrosia for titan blood a worth trade?

restive cave
#

yeah id say it is, unless you have a npc friend who is waiting to receive it in order to increase your relationship

simple tulip
#

huh? is that what ambrosia does?

#

the only npc i have maxed out is cerberus at 3 stars

restive cave
#

well the nectars are nice but how are they gonna know how reeaally special they are

simple tulip
#

what?

narrow hemlock
#

ambrosia has another purpose but leveling special keepsakes you get later

restive cave
#

i mean how special they are as people, not how special the nectar is lol

simple tulip
#

oh. so ambrosia is like nectar

narrow hemlock
#

its upgraded nectar, yes

simple tulip
#

what happens if i give ambrosia to cerberus

restive cave
#

not all npcs want it

narrow hemlock
#

same thing that happens when you gift nectar to someone. you get some dialogue and add a heart to their affinity

simple tulip
#

bruh

#

so it's useless

restive cave
#

no its not

#

i just trying not to be spoilery

narrow hemlock
#

you cant gift anyone ambrosia until you clear the heartlock in the codex for them

simple tulip
#

u can say it out though idm

restive cave
#

||max out nectars until you reach a point where you cant get further with any more nectars, then youll have the option to give them ambrosia, they will reward you with a super powerful keepsake||

simple tulip
narrow hemlock
#

yeah he does

#

everyone and everything is in the codex

#

check all your tabs

simple tulip
#

i think i am blind then

#

nvm

narrow hemlock
#

perhaps 😄

simple tulip
#

he has popped up

restive cave
#

is daedalus in the codex? i was looking for the entry earlier and didnt see it

simple tulip
narrow hemlock
#

daedalus hammers are, not daedalus himself because he has no presence in the game's narrative

simple tulip
simple tulip
narrow hemlock
restive cave
#

are you able to view all the hammer boons in the codex?

narrow hemlock
#

no

simple tulip
#

ah

restive cave
#

i wanted to view the daedelus boons like im able to view ares or zeus' boons in the codex but i probably am blind or something but i didnt see it in there

hollow hawk
#

you can view them with a mod named Pony's QOL improvements

narrow hemlock
#

its something people have asked for but it does not exist natively in the game

restive cave
#

found it on nexusmods though 😄

narrow hemlock
#

what i said wasnt false, the hammers are mentioned in the codex

#

its just that theres no way to view each individual one like you can with boons later.

#

the reason the boon ones are there is because they can be a bit more confusing for players to navigate certain requirements for specific boons

quiet canopy
#

is there something like best mirror options or is it personal ?

narrow hemlock
#

kinda depends on the kind of run you're going for since some mirror perks are situational

dusky scaffold
#

epic tidal dash on the nemisis aspect right off the bat

#

this is gonna be a good run

restive cave
#

is tidal dash pretty good? i only ever use athenas dash

dusky scaffold
#

another posidan room

#

im feelin good

#

ive gotten the furthest with it and tbh i really like posidans boons lol all his boons be fun tidal dash being my favourit of em

#

dawg and an epic razor shoals

#

honestly if i wasent having a lot of fun id pause the run till im more sober but imma just send it

runic parrot
#

tidal dash is very good

#

at clearing rooms that is

#

esp if you have breaking wave

dusky scaffold
#

im like barly focusing rn and im clearing the first area and stacking on the butterfly keep sake i can def feel the improvment

runic parrot
#

er typhoons fury? i forget

dusky scaffold
#

this could be the run

acoustic quartz
#

noice

#

just remember that bonus is gone if you change keepsakes

dusky scaffold
#

hmm im stucj non of these seem particularly great what would you say is better dash nova or super nova

#

@acoustic quartz wait they changed so i can switch to the spiked later?

#

or was it alwasy like that

acoustic quartz
#

?

dusky scaffold
#

i remember a vidoe guide

acoustic quartz
#

wdym

dusky scaffold
#

said somthing about using it then switching keep sakes and keeping the bounuse dmg

acoustic quartz
#

pretty sure the damage bonus is gone if you switch out pierced butterfly

#

lemme double check

dusky scaffold
#

kk

acoustic quartz
#

according to wiki it is lost

runic parrot
#

it is lost

narrow hemlock
#

hermes and thanatos keepsake do not retain bonuses if you switch them, they're keepsakes you commit your whole run to

is there a % tracker for hades after u beat the game?

just curious

half zephyr

#

Are Erebus gates bonus rooms or do they take up one of the rooms in a biome

restive cave
#

is cluster bomb pretty decent with rocket bomb?

#

i was doing an eris chain lightning build but hammer rng was bad

civic pendant
#

Yeah cluster+rocket is decent. You have to be a bit close to hit with all, mind

granite ether
restive cave
#

i might take seeking shot instead of rocket bomb

#

seeking fire

half zephyr
#

I try not to take rocket bomb on Eris

#

I just find it harder to be in the blast zone

carmine ravine
#

Get cluster + rocket

half zephyr
#

Other then Eris cluster+rocket is epic

runic parrot
#

rockets boost the time needed for your special to hit while cluster makes sure they actually hit

half zephyr
#

Guess it’s just me that doesn’t like rocket on Eris then hehe

restive cave
#

do i get bonus eris damage if i stand in overlapping bombs?

#

i mean does the bonus overlap too

runic parrot
#

nope

#

there's no bonus from the extra blasts

simple tulip
#

is hestia or eris better

runic parrot
#

it just makes it easier to get hit by them

#

hestia is better for single damage, eris can be better for crowd control

#

i think generally eris is used as a speedrun wep while hestia for high heat

simple tulip
#

wdym by crowd control? eris doesn't have cc

runic parrot
#

put zeus on attack

#

the eris bonus makes the damage go higher

simple tulip
#

i think our definitons of crowd control r different then

simple tulip
runic parrot
#

idk i always put zeus on attack because i have no idea what else to put on it

runic parrot
simple tulip
#

people told me to go artemis on hestia

simple tulip
simple tulip
runic parrot
#

nah aoe is more the base rail special

#

im thinking about clearing the entire room

#

but it works i suppose

#

arty is ok on hestia

simple tulip
runic parrot
#

i think what i'd go for is aphro on attack and arty on dash

simple tulip
#

then you could say hestia has crowd control

runic parrot
#

generally.

simple tulip
#

hestia better for bosses

#

?

runic parrot
#

hestia is better for single enemy damage

#

yeah

simple tulip
#

i failed the final fight on hades 4 runs in a row 😭
