I mean, I don't think it's putting electricity THROUGH the fruit or through you, at least not a meaningful amount

oak wind
#

i think it's like, detecting the current of your fingers?

#

i think there are lights that you can turn on like that

runic sparrow
#

it's Capacitive sensors, basically

#

same basic concept that lets modern touchscreens function

#

like the one on smartphones

oak wind
#

mm that makes sense

half zephyr
#

Pom of power

runic sparrow
#

when you touch part of the po... Gods dammit Shadow

half zephyr
runic sparrow
#

but yeah, there's almost n o electricity going through that IIRC. something at the other end of the wire is just looking for a change in conductivity from some kind of baseline, and when it detects that, it triggers some sort of output

#

... oh damn, that's some unique dialogue I didn't think I'd get

#

You get some unique dialogue from Theseus ||if you have the Yarn of Ariadne active when you enter their chamber||

grand crystal
#

yeaaa, he has a few lines if you keep doing it

runic sparrow
#

I get why that's significant if my memory of the tale is correct

#

so question about MErciful End: It says "doom damage' on it... is that on top of the curse's original damage, or is that the damage that it just does now if you proc it?

grand crystal
#

its added to the curse

runic sparrow
#

so 'on top of' the damage

#

nice

grand crystal
#

i.e. you deal 100 doom, if you trigger it with ME, iirc the buff is 40 so now it does 140

runic sparrow
#

too bad I didn't get it in this run

grand crystal
#

yea ME is super weird on showing up

#

i almost never get it

runic sparrow
#

like, that's basically best-case for a merciful end build

#

that could probably murk dad in a matter of seconds

grand crystal
#

oh and if you could get dire misfortune :3

runic sparrow
#

what's dire misfortune do again?

grand crystal
#

like ME on a weapon like chiron would be fun

#

doom stacks by +10

#

or whatever the rarity is

runic sparrow
#

so additional damage based on stacks of doom

#

eh

grand crystal
#

its really good

#

lets chiron get dumb

#

like 100 base, with dire misfortune its now 180

#

well 170 i think

#

and you can do 2 in the time of it procking

#

so youre more than doubling it

#

and with impending i think you can get another off

#

doom is dummy stronk

modern arch
#

Hey, what does upgrading ur title at the guy in hades bedroom actually do?

#

Does it have any effects?

runic sparrow
#

pride

modern arch
#

Ah I see

#

Bragging rights?

runic sparrow
#

basically, yeah

grand crystal
#

less "bragging" and more so you decided to take all that time

#

for nothing more than a badge

modern arch
#

Haha

grand crystal
#

you couldve been with your family

#

friends

runic sparrow
grand crystal
#

gone to a party or smth

#

but you chose to get maxed badges in hades

modern arch
#

Yeah I might just spend my darkness for lv one of it elsewhere

#

I got like 700 saved up but if it does nothing 🤷

#

Hey, iv unlocked three ‘bonds forged’

grand crystal
#

nice

#

i got all of em a couple nights ago

modern arch
#

Do they do anything on trinkets other than giving u cute things to look at?

grand crystal
#

very satisfying

modern arch
#

Ooh nice!!

grand crystal
#

its just cute

#

thats all it is

modern arch
#

Btw, charon is so cute

#

I got him, skelly and dad

grand crystal
#

i like hypnos's

modern arch
#

Charon is cute when chibby

grand crystal
#

persephone also has a cute one

modern arch
#

I’m excited for Hypnos

grand crystal
#

dios is just a mood

modern arch
#

Haha I’m not surprised

#

Me waiting for Sisyphus’s plot to advance like 👀👀👀

#

I just need to get the ‘opertinity’ to get his stuff

grand crystal
#

yeaaa

#

tbh thats one of my irks with the game

#

sooo much dialogue that it clogs

modern arch
#

Ah I don’t mind too much, it makes it nice and full

#

Give u the experienced

grand crystal
#

yes the experience of zag decideing to wait like 20 runs to be like "hey ummm about that pact i just got rid of for you"

modern arch
#

Haha not surprised in the slightest

wicked bobcat
#

Thanks I'll shift my post over there, still very interested in this game just you know when a mood hits

dapper mango
#

another attempt with ruthless reflex with zagreus sword at heat 16 went rly fine, i used hyper sprint and chill on attack to compensate and did avoid extra perks on armored monsters, and avoided EM3 and EM4 also and forced overtime

#

I guess you could still use zagreus sword at heat 32 with ruthless reflex if you still manage to avoid EM3/EM4 AND forced overtime which is possible

#

not the weakest weapon to use with ruthless since that one has bonus move speed, but pretty close i suppose

#

ofc if you actually get extra dashes from hermes then there is no issue using ruthless but that's less than 50% chance i think.. or well if you fated persuasion hermes and get more than 2 hermes boons you can prob have it over 50% but yeah need more than 50% chance to compensate ruthless reflex to make it worth i would say

#

which works with combinations of avoiding certain difficulty settings and using chills and etc so yeah nice balance

runic sparrow
#

unrelated: I'm at run 69 of hades...

dapper mango
#

me 186 + 27 or so

runic sparrow

I think I'll go full meme build for dodge

chain shot hera viable or no

#

will the casts burst on contact with the first or last enemy in the chain is what im asking

grand crystal
#

itll go off on the first guy

#

the arrow is the only thing that bounces

#

not the best not the worst hammer

#

and tbh hera hammers are just whatever you want since nothing really breaks or makes it better

brisk trail
#

i see thanks

desert meadow
#

Explosive shot Hera though, is so good

grand crystal
#

by "better" i mean make the cast stuff better

brisk trail
#

i like how its all quiet in here. then one person asks a question and everyone pounces on them

grand crystal
#

lmao yea

#

i have hw im procrastinating on so i just lurk until someone asks something

desert meadow
#

School work is overrated anyway, learning could be fun but they said nah

grand crystal
#

yeaa

brisk trail
#

I've been absent a little while, are cross-saves in yet?

narrow hemlock
#

yes

brisk trail
#

Thanks!

narrow hemlock
#

had to double check how long lol

brisk trail
#

Oh, wow, that's been a minute.

#

Though we are coming up on 6 months. 😰

narrow hemlock
#

unsure if it feels like less or longer 😅 time feels so weird anymore

Well, it's an illusion, much like pants.

Oh I see thank you

you need 5, 10, 15 heat to enter it from either tart, aspho or elysium respectively

#

Two achievements left to go and I'll have them all!

runic parrot
#

which ones r they

stiff trellis
#

Then I might get around to doing all of Bastion's and the last pyre one I never got around to

#

I gotta max keepsakes and get the second statue

runic parrot

ouch max keepsakes

gonna take a while

desert meadow
#

That one wasn’t too bad

stiff trellis
#

tbh I'm nearly there

#

Most are at 3, and the other ones are pretty close

desert meadow
#

I did it while getting more stuff to trade for blood

#

Helped make it seem faster to have a second goal in mind

plucky sonnet
#

Does anyone know if duo boons are in the works for weapons like the shield aspect of beowulf, where (for example) the artemis/ares duo boon is completely unavailable?

split ermine
#

idk f this has been addressed, but anyone know if hades will come to ps4/xbox? if so, do we know when? my friend wants to play asap

grand crystal
#

hammers are the only kinda aspect specific thing

plucky sonnet
#

for shield aspect of beowulf ares/artemis requires slicing shot, and the beowulf shield replaces all cast boons with different boons

#

so as far as I'm aware, you can't get that one on aspect of beowulf

desert meadow
#

You should be able too

grand crystal
#

i havent looked as to how flares work in terms of duos but id say look in tho codex and it should say whether or not its flare or cast that gives yuo the thing

cerulean cipher
#

I think they patched a few boons to work better with certain weapons like Beowulf and Hera

desert meadow
#

It’s just using the flare boons Beo has for casts instead

#

As flares should be beo only

#

Iirc

plucky sonnet
#

yeah pretty much

cerulean cipher
#

I thought I saw someone say today that the devs already said the game is feature complete

desert meadow
#

Pretty sure they’ve said that

#

I was honestly surprised we even got that last patch, I’m not expecting dlc/an update

cerulean cipher
#

did any past SG game get a DLC or expansion?

grand crystal
#

the last patch was just cross saves and some bug fixes so :/

grand crystal
#

and even then it wasnt much

desert meadow
#

Hey, it added PP support to lightning!

#

That’s big

grand crystal
#

lmao ofc yea

eager kindle
#

I wish they'd go with the dead cells style of updates/expansions because of how much they struck gold with Hades

desert meadow
#

While I agree, it’d break how carefully crafted everything is.

grand crystal
#

^^^very much so

#

and being in the bounds of greek mythos there isnt much else they can do

desert meadow
#

It all fits together quite well, adding, say, Apollo boons would shatter part of that.

cerulean cipher
#

If anything, one extra weapon would be pretty cool. Not sure what it would be though

grand crystal
#

(also not really possible considering the world building and greek restriction but go off ig)

desert meadow
#

An axe?

#

A hammer?

cerulean cipher
#

honestly if the gun wasn't already part of the game, a gun

#

feels like a DLC weapon

desert meadow
#

No no, wait, a spiked ball on a chain

cerulean cipher
#

a whip! hadesvania!

grand crystal
#

i mean the reason for the weapons is because its the infernal arms used by the senior olympians to fight the titans

desert meadow
#

Yes!

grand crystal
#

so like

desert meadow
#

Yeah

grand crystal
#

going from stuff as cool as that to "herees just a bronze axe" is kinda :/ yk

desert meadow
#

Unless we stole Asterius’ axe after one battle.

grand crystal
#

lol

#

it takes asterius a second to swing it

#

so im assuming zag, being the twink he is cant lift it :3

desert meadow
#

It’d be Arthur but even slower

#

Hm, true

grand crystal
#

im half convinced that arthur being slow is because zag wants to feel cool and thats it

stiff trellis
#

I can believe that

desert meadow
#

He can get away with it cause his enemies are distracted by it glowing

terse relic
#

Or you can just spam doubled/long-range crit Specials like I did on my last Arthur run.

grand crystal
#

still kinda wish the weaopn itself was more metal and not just glowy

stiff trellis
#

Nah, gimme the theseus spear

grand crystal
#

ewww, theseus

#

id never use that aspect

stiff trellis
#

It gives you a call which causes theseus to chase you in the chariot

grand crystal
#

plus all he does is spin and throw it

#

he isnt even cool

stiff trellis
#

Killing everything in the process

ancient current
#

i just thought today about if there were more infernal arms
specifically like a big hammer or something

#

just so it could have an aspect of thor

desert meadow
#

Beating him with his own weapon though

grand crystal
#

low key aspect of izanagi for the spear wouldve been epic

stiff trellis
#

A hammer could work within greek stuff too

grand crystal
#

but i respect guan yu as a choice

#

but like tbh how would they even work in another weapon

#

theres only 6 infernal arms for a reason

ancient current
#

Yea idk how with all the lore around the arms

grand crystal
#

each one has ties to an elder olympain for a reason

#

yeaaa

desert meadow
#

I guess adding more aspects would make more sense

stiff trellis
#

I never noticed the elder olympian ties

ancient current
#

More aspects could work yea

desert meadow
#

Aspect of Charon for the spear

stiff trellis
#

Titan weapons tho

grand crystal
ancient current
#

Yea the arms were all wielded by and iirc created for olympians

grand crystal
#

hades spear

#

to kill the titans :3

#

so adding a 7th would be jank

stiff trellis
#

I love how demeter just decided to throw hands

grand crystal
#

lol yea

runic parrot
#

zag and dad should switch spears once in a while

desert meadow
#

It fits her

ancient current
#

put them paws up

#

run them hands

brisk trail
#

I imagine her in a yellow jumpsuit like the Bride.

runic parrot

give dad his old spear back and give zag gigaros

Demeter wakes up in the morning and chooses violence

desert meadow
#

Yes, exactly

grand crystal
#

have you seen the post run death thing s

#

zag is stupid

desert meadow
#

He’s so dumb and I love it

stiff trellis
#

He's idiot shaped and has the power to kill gods

#

Truly Perfect

grand crystal
#

he's that one really good friend but he eats cereal with a fork

desert meadow
#

But yet still has more common sense and people skills then anyone else at times

runic parrot
#

varatha's aspect of fork

ancient current
#

man i haven’t gotten those yet but i’ve seen them

#

zag slips on a banana peel and dies

desert meadow
#

They’re great

grand crystal

runs into a wall and dies

#

gets run over

desert meadow
#

I died at the snake one

angers a goat

angers a bear

#

Zag eats oranges the same way he eats an apple

#

From the top down

desert meadow
#

Causes an avalanche and kills himself

runic parrot
#

i mean he wouldnt know what those two are prior to getting out so yeah

grand crystal
#

literally jumps into the river styx after being asked by a random voice

ancient current
#

for now, pretend the lord hades absolutely clobbered him

brisk trail
#

I only wish that one had made it into 1.0.

desert meadow
stiff trellis
#

Yes.

desert meadow
#

Or just in one bite?

grand crystal
#

unhinges jaw

#

consumes fruit

stiff trellis
#

He eats it like an apple

azure crescent
#

consoome in one bite

desert meadow
#

He learned from Cerberus

ancient current
#

yea of course that’s how he eats them
he devours those gyros and fries whole too

desert meadow
#

Tin foil too!

grand crystal
#

yea gives him the iron he needs in his diet

#

he has an iron deficiency now

#

my head canon is that zags brain is smooth

#

like a bowling ball

desert meadow
#

That explains a lot

stiff trellis
#

Meg is morosexual

#

Exclusively attracted to idiots

And zag just ticks every box

runic parrot
grand crystal
#

or at least got really close

#

and than isnt dumb :3

hes just a baby

hehe

#

i forget this exists

ancient current

oh that’s cursed i’m so used to seeing his face from the side

i just dont know what happened

#

WAIT

#

HOW MASSIVE ARE THANATOS"S HANDS

runic parrot
#

idk what yall are talkinga bout he looks great from the front

grand crystal
#

look at where he's holding the scythe

#

how massive is his hand

runic parrot
#

thats a glove

grand crystal
#

that looks bigger than his head

#

BUT HOW MUCH DOES IT ADD

ancient current
#

Yea looks like a really beefy gauntlet to me

runic parrot
#

he's a big guy

grand crystal
#

zags hands are big too tho

ancient current
#

that too

ancient current
#

All the gods are ripped
all of them don’t question me

grand crystal
#

is bigger than his head

ancient current
#

hypnos probably has a ton of muscle underneath all that clothing

runic parrot
#

i wish the in-game sprites are accurate to the lore

grand crystal
runic parrot
#

by that i mean i wish zag was a 150cm manlet

grand crystal
grand crystal
ancient current
#

he’s a little man running around

#

That’s the game

grand crystal
#

i like to think that zag is like 5'6"

#

and everyone else is close or passed 6'

desert meadow
#

As 5’6 myself, y e s

#

Zag is totally that short

I feel like it's easy to cosplay as Aphrodite
you just have to be brave enough to do it

You are technically correct.

red jewel
#

Yes

#

I mean if we're being real, its not JUST a wig, you need some other ornaments too, but definitely not the hardest costume to assemble

Now, Dusa cosplay on the other hand takes some commitment. You really gotta put your head into it.

when i was new i thought hestia was so insanely broken

it still is

Hestia’s pretty good

brisk trail
#

I remember when Hestia was the Rail golden child.

ancient current
#

it’s eris i wanna get better at though
the bomb buff is really good it’s just tricky to get even with hammers and boons

brisk trail
#

If you're not comfortable with Rocket Bomb, Triple and Cluster Bombs are great for more reliably buffing.

runic parrot
#

rocket is definitely better if you have cluster bomb on

ancient current
#

Yea triple bomb is a good hammer no matter what

#

I couldn’t get the rockets in either of my eris runs so far

brisk trail
#

Certainly, Cluster Rockets was the first 40 Heat clear I ever saw.

#

I don't know if it's the first, but it's up there.

#

But I don't like relying on Hammer combos.

runic parrot
#

you should try hazard bomb eris

ancient current
#

eris has a cool design too

wouldnt they regenerate if he had so much in one spot??

does antos hit twice on the same enemy if theres only one

ancient current
#

Doing another eris run and is it me or does eris have less range on its fire than the other exagryph aspects

grand crystal
#

i-

#

now that i think about it

#

it sure does feel like that huh

#

like tbh the first shot in hestia feels really long

#

and i never use normal rail enough to really have that to compare

ancient current
#

Yea there’s been a bunch of times now where i swear i should be able to hit an enemy that’s far away from me but it doesn’t

grand crystal
#

ill have to test later tonight on skelly or smth

ancient current
#

It might be because of using hestia and having used zagreus a lot yea

#

got the cluster bomb though and it’s pretty good for eris
Especially when you have it so all five bombs fall down on you at once

grand crystal
#

yeaa cluster and triple are very good

#

rocket is also pretty good

ancient current
#

it’s really tricky to get them all aligned though without getting hit by something

#

slam dancers are the worst man

grand crystal
#

i mean it doesnt stack so like :/

ancient current
#

wait it doesn’t

#

I thought it did

brisk trail
#

They kinda are.

grand crystal
#

no, it doesnt

#

that would be busted otherwise

#

the condition is boolean

brisk trail
#

What, Cluster and Triple stacking the Eris damage bonus?

wise sparrow
#

no

grand crystal
wise sparrow
grand crystal
#

the buff is strictly a boolean value that gives the set buff

#

because getting a 300% damage buff would be insane

#

but yea slam dancers suck

#

their range and AI is annoying as hell

brisk trail
#

The only thing worse than Slam Dancers is the Inferno Bombers' triple bomb drop and then skedaddle maneuver.

grand crystal
#

tbh i just react to that :3

brisk trail
#

There's gotta be only picoseconds of time in which to react on FO2.

grand crystal
#

but they are so bs if you use fo2

Yea in general i just hate dealing with super aggro enemies that chase you down

just completed #7 I should say

simple tulip
#

you get half your life back from death defiance, so if you are going into styx with 3 DD then you should always be getting more health by going Collar rather than Skelly's Tooth. Tooth gives you 100 hp in an extra Death Defiance, whereas Collar is 50+25+25+25=125 over the course of your 4 lives.

best shield aspect?

debatable. zoos and beo are weird weapons but not bad. zag and chaos are certainly much easier. chaos is safer but pretty slow. my favorite is zag shield. its just a sword that can block

runic parrot
#

honestly the shield is a pretty well rounded wep for both attack or defence so you can go whatever boon you want on it

topaz haven
#

Alright, cheers

runic parrot
#

if i had to tell you boons to aim for it's probably either ares or zeus on the special for the zeus shield

#

if you couldnt tell, i'm a pretty big fan of the zeus shield

half zephyr
#

It’s kinda fun to arrive late to the party & read about people discussing a non-existing link hehe

half zephyr
runic parrot
#

zeus on zeus 😳

#

ares on chaos is another good one

#

though im not sure if the person asking has it maxed or not

#

chaos is pretty weak below lv 3

simple tulip
#

is extreme measures 2 a bad condition?

half zephyr
#

EM2 is fun

#

Not as hilarious as EM3

simple tulip
#

i'm trying to get in a 7 heat run and i currently have EM 2, middle management 1, damage control 1 and tight deadline 1

simple tulip
brazen lagoon
#

thats pretty good

half zephyr
#

But you have to be sorta fond of Theseus to find EM3 hilarious anyways hehe

half zephyr
#

EM changes the bosses

simple tulip
#

previously i chose em1 everytime the furies were still extremely easy

rotund galleon
#

EM Triple Furies are harder than expected

runic parrot
#

em2 is pretty easy

#

it just changes the arena

half zephyr
#

I think my 7 heats are EM3 + calisthenics?

runic parrot
#

unless you have hs on, it's not too hard

rotund galleon
#

EM2 gives Lernie a bit more movespace

vapid narwhal
#

using CP at low heat is thonking

simple tulip
#

i have heightened security on

#

i changed it for damage control

#

should i reset run and change it back?

vapid narwhal
#

using HS for anything lower than 40 is yikesKimi

rotund galleon
#

I only turn off security when EM2 is on

vapid narwhal
#

dont use HS unless you are super unhappy with yourself

half zephyr
#

HS with EM2 is a gamble

simple tulip
half zephyr
#

Totally fine w Arthur tho

rotund galleon
#

But I always keep on HS like a maniac

vapid narwhal
#

for 1 heat there are many things that are much easier

rotund galleon
#

HS and Guan Yu,TO MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU

vapid narwhal
#

so why making it unnecessarily annoying

vapid narwhal
#

TD1 and EM3, done

half zephyr
simple tulip
#

huh? is em3 easy?

vapid narwhal
#

or EM2, TD1, another whatever 1 heat like BP1 or DC1 depending on weapon

rotund galleon
#

EM3 is easy

simple tulip
#

what do theseus and asterius gain

half zephyr
#

EM3 can be challenging first time if you’re not prepared

#

But after first time it’s easy

rotund galleon
#

Asterius becomes a Beyblade, Theseus looks ugly

simple tulip
#

i always beat them losing only about 50 hp

#

so would em3 be hard?

half zephyr
rotund galleon
#

Non EM Theseus iss harder

simple tulip
#

i never found theseus challenging

half zephyr
#

Theseus becomes something greater with EM3

This does not mean he becomes more useful

simple tulip
#

asterius does most the damage to me

half zephyr
#

Asterius is still the fed up babysitter of an angry kitten - only now it’s an angry hyperactive kitten

rotund galleon
#

Walking Theseus is a bit challenging for my muscle memory

#

Im still playing with Dark Souls reflexes

half zephyr
#

Also the brains

rotund galleon
#

He is the muscle and brains

runic parrot
#

em theseus becomes significantly harder with HL4ish

#

that contact damage sucks

half zephyr
#

Theseus got the mad looks

#

Emphasis on mad

rotund galleon
#

And no buttcheeks

#

You technically cannot even clap his cheeks

half zephyr
#

I love angry kitten Theseus though

#

With his maniacal laugh

rotund galleon
#

Paranoia Theseus best Theseus

half zephyr
#

When you get to that dialogue & you have aphro w charm hehe

rotund galleon
#

That's some strong memes

half zephyr
#

It was really fun

rotund galleon
#

Asterius can deal insane damage to Thes too

half zephyr
#

Mhmm

#

In conclusion EM3 is hilarious

rotund galleon
#

Especially with the overhead slam

half zephyr
#

And I will live by my “Theseus magical girl transformation” cuz later they got the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP on their side

#

I can just imagine him doing some “by the power of the moon” lines when he’s got Artie backing him up hehe

simple tulip
#

currently in a hestia run and i found a posiedon epic special, should i take this or what for an aphro special?

viscid fern
#

theseus becomes stage hazard and asterius becomes a proper boss

half zephyr
#

Theseus just goes mad(der)

rotund galleon
#

ATHEEEEENS CRYSTAL POWEEEER, MAAAAKE UP

half zephyr
#

EXACTLY!

rotund galleon
#

Then Theseus gets into his armor and chariot but nobody takes him seriously

half zephyr
#

And poor Asterius is just dragged along for the ride

rotund galleon
#

It's like that one episode of Sailor Moon where a monster asked them how do they jump so high safely with those skirts

#

And they couldn't jump for the rest of the episode out of realization and embarrassment

half zephyr
#

Aaah I love EM3

rotund galleon
#

This needs a mod

#

Someone needs to make a Sailor Thes mod

half zephyr
#

That would be amazing

#

he is the one called The-se-us

craggy barn
#

thesus

simple tulip
#

is erebus gate worth it from house contractor?

signal aspen
#

yes

#

but you do need heat to use it

carmine ravine
#

if u play heat and can avoid damage very masterfully yeah

signal aspen
#

5 heat for tartarus gates

#

10 for asphodel gates

#

15 for elysium gates

simple tulip
#

so they are like chaos gates

carmine ravine
#

u need to avoid any damage in erebus to actually get the reward

#

so harder

simple tulip
#

you mean i need to be at full health to use one?

carmine ravine
#

no, when entering erebus, its like a normal chamber, but the objective will be "dont get hit". if u get any damage while in erebus, the only thing u get is an onion

signal aspen
# simple tulip you mean i need to be at full health to use one?

you need to have a certain amount of heat to enter, and when you do, there will some enemies that spawn and you need to avoid their attacks, if you do then you will get an enhanced version of the chamber reward(poms grant 3 levels, 200 obols, and 50 health depending on the reward) if you get hit you will get an onion that restores 2 health. also i think that boons are normal

hybrid snow
#

Iirc poms give two levels and boons have a rarity boost

signal aspen
#

oh sorry

runic parrot
#

3 level poms 😳

#

you can get that with aphro-poseidon right

unborn remnant
#

hello there

manic moat
#

aphro-pos doesn't affect the keepsake that levels up your boons now does it

carmine ravine
#

at that point just do pos-dio duo

manic moat
#

that now is an amazing duo

rotund galleon
#

Are there any plans for a dlc later on?

carmine ravine
#

no for now

runic parrot
#

i dont remember

#

its either aphro pos or dio pos

#

the one that makes poms stronger

gray apex
#

Aphro pos is the one

#

Dio pos makes all boons purple

simple tulip
#

guys, i got a rock from a key which helps me reroll boons as i've seen from videos, but when picking an artemis boon i don't have the feature?

runic parrot
#

you might have fated authority picked

simple tulip
#

what is that

runic parrot
gray apex
#

that one lets you reroll doors

runic parrot
#

fated authority is the mirror talent that lets you reroll doors

gray apex
#

not boon options

runic parrot
#

fated persuasion is the one you want

simple tulip
#

ah

#

thanks

runic parrot
#

and is the GOAT mirror talent

simple tulip
runic parrot
#

the chamber previews

#

like, the doors you enter

gray apex
#

Yea right before you enter you can reroll that

#

except shops

simple tulip
#

yeah but like what button do i press i mean

runic parrot
#

it should show up as a popup

#

just go near a door

simple tulip
#

thannks

i just got scene where medu got kicked by nyx 😦

#

is medu ok?

runic parrot
#

her name is dusa

#

she's not medusa

#

at least i dont think

#

and you'll find out sooner rather than later, keep goin

desert meadow
#

Dusa might be the Medusa, but we don't know for sure

half zephyr
#

There’s so many hints in her dialogue w zag - her not wanting to talk about who she was in her past, or her sisters & such

#

Also that’s how they got the pun hehe

#

Medusa > Maid Dusa

grand crystal
#

OMFG

grand crystal
half zephyr
grand crystal
#

wait so dusa is just a shade??

#

she's dead??

half zephyr
#

So is Achilles

#

Ye

grand crystal
#

well yea ik about achilles

#

but damn

half zephyr
#

She dead

grand crystal
#

dusa's just dead :/

half zephyr
#

She’s alive in the ways that matter though

grand crystal
#

you right

brazen lagoon
#

I mean basically all of them are dead

#

You are in hell after all

half zephyr
#

Not all of them

#

And we’re more in the underground

#

I know they called it hell, but everyone ends up there 😗

#

Zags (& Daddy dearests) thing seems to be that he can’t stay dead hehe

#

Nice thing in a god

brazen lagoon
#

God of rebirth after all

half zephyr
#

Yup

brazen lagoon
#

And being a god helps too I guess

untold geyser
#

is it easy to pull the invincibility trick against the final boss?

#

not taking damage when the rotating lasers are being fired?

#

it's done in speedruns, but apparently even experienced players mess up and take damage?

grand crystal
#

it not "invincibility" its literally just getting behind the lazers by hugging him

untold geyser
#

what is "behind"

#

isn't it a circle of sorts?

grand crystal
#

yea so essentially if you notice in the animation, the spears and lasers float around him

#

and if you get right up on him, you are now in that circle where he is in

#

and you dont get hit :3

untold geyser
#

I'll try when I have more health to fool around I guess

#

btw

half zephyr
#

Get aphro call

#

Max

grand crystal
#

mhm, it will for sure kill you if you arent careful and get it off

half zephyr
#

Invisible laser show

untold geyser
#

how bad is the penalty that gives midbosses an extra armoured ally or similar?

half zephyr
#

Eeeeh, easy enough

untold geyser
#

I think it makes me Styx midbosses pretty dangerous

grand crystal
#

you mean middle managment??

untold geyser
#

I've broken DDs there before

grand crystal
#

the heat thing

untold geyser
#

iirc that's the name

grand crystal
#

ah yea its not that bad, it just takes some getting used to

half zephyr
#

MM is easy enough unless you combine stuff w it

untold geyser
#

I'm unsure what order to introduce penalties to my runs

grand crystal
#

companions help a lot there too

untold geyser
#

currently on 1-3 heat on my weapons, but it'll keep growing for sure

grand crystal
half zephyr
#

I try not to combine Benefits Package w Middle Management

#

so many things ends up happening at once

grand crystal
#

extreme measures 1 is also easy

#

damage control is easy depending on the weapon

#

convenience fee is easy imo

half zephyr
#

EM1-3 is easy

grand crystal
#

em3 is a tad difficult ngl

half zephyr
#

Naaah

grand crystal
#

fight becomes much more annoying

half zephyr
#

Just avoid beyblade while he’s spinning

grand crystal
#

its much, much more than that ;w;

half zephyr
untold geyser
#

I failed tight deadline once

untold geyser
#

I wasn't skipping areas with encounters though

#

skill level is probably not that great, too

grand crystal
#

ahh, yea i mean td1 is easy as hell

untold geyser
#

no TB-invested weapons or hiddens still

grand crystal
#

as long as you can beat the run in 36 minutes

#

ahhh yea aspects play a huge part in runs

half zephyr
grand crystal
#

and in terms of hiddens rama is epic

half zephyr
grand crystal
#

and my favorite HA by far

untold geyser
#

good at lv. 1?

grand crystal
half zephyr
grand crystal
half zephyr
#

I did Rama

grand crystal

it caps at 60

grand crystal
half zephyr
#

I only survived at 0 heat with 22 hp

#

So

unborn remnant
#

I want my next build to go in on Ares cast

half zephyr
grand crystal
grand crystal
#

and aim for hunting blades

unborn remnant
#

spear is so lame though

half zephyr
grand crystal
#

yea but like, its the best cast weapon for it :/

unborn remnant
#

fr?

grand crystal
grand crystal
#

the 150% damage buff if its maxed is insane

half zephyr
grand crystal
#

i mean like talos works too but talos is lame

grand crystal
#

and pos doesnt work since you lose the dislode

#

hera is just weird with it

desert meadow
#

Talos requires you mark an enemy first, Achilles just needs the spear special rush

grand crystal
#

achilles is the best cast weapon for dem and ares ngl

untold geyser
#

I'm seriously considering Eris at lv. 5, too

#

75% boost to damage is so great

grand crystal
#

im more of a hestia fan tho :/

untold geyser
#

no idea what the hidden weapons do, or the normal ones at higher level

half zephyr
untold geyser
#

it'll take like 50 hours of high level playing to find out?

#

I might burn out and stop playing by then

grand crystal

They're not too hard

you listen to the thirst

I forgot I had it for a year or so NeekoEhehe

wow thats a lot of money burned

Eh

#

I use emoji so often it’s nice for me at least hehe

Besides I got grandfathered in with the new nitro

grand shale

yeah but you have to go out of your way to find any use for nitro

half zephyr
# grand shale wym

When I had nitro there was only 1 nitro - that nitro is now called nitro classic & is cheaper hehe

(im not a mod so i dont want to mod but getting off topic ngl)

I got same old price but new nitro I believe

half zephyr

I need to play some hades again

I’m driving myself insane making my living dex & I just need to fight something

grand crystal
#

but yea my hidden preference is like rama > beo > gilga > gy/luci/arthur

half zephyr
#

Fave so far is Arthur cuz I don’t have to think & I tend to get boons making it fast again hehe

grand crystal
#

i mean tbh thats why i like rama and hestia :3

#

i dont have to think

#

i just go fast

half zephyr
#

I had to always think Porg_Shocked

grand crystal
#

my love for hera has died off :/

half zephyr
#

I guess I really wasn’t made for bow in this game

#

Like really really

grand crystal
#

bow is so epic tho

#

like high damage + range + some of the best hammers in the game

half zephyr
#

Not when I can’t even get past heat 2

grand crystal
#

and all of the aspects are super good

grand crystal
#

i play at like 20 casually

half zephyr
grand crystal
#

well like 16-20

half zephyr
#

I just don’t get the rng needed

grand crystal
#

yea i get that, thats why im not a fan of achilles spear tbh, i just dont get the luck i do for my other weapons

half zephyr
#

Where on other weapons I get epic boons all the time - with bow I almost always get basic boons Linksad

#

And I’m talking 3 rerolls & still only basic boons offered

desert meadow
#

I just always get common boons

half zephyr
desert meadow
#

Even when it gives me the higher tier ones

half zephyr
#

I tend to get rare-epic

#

With a couple basics

#

Plus the duos & legends

grand crystal
#

since i only really every play with dark forsight and gods legacy i only see commons :/

desert meadow
#

I mean, I've got the mirror set to more duo/legendary chances over epic but still

grand crystal
#

like ive been playing with gods pride more since hestia but like :/

half zephyr
#

That’s why it’s so shocking when I get the bow boons

#

The game be mocking me

grand crystal
#

lol roguelites to be like that

#

i cant tell you how many times i go for something, not get it, and when i dont go for it i get it

half zephyr
#

I’m sure it sensed how I abused the bow in IFR & decided I wasn’t getting any of that here

grand crystal
#

nice

#

god ive hit a point in the game where i just grind -_-

#

like since im wanting to do high heat, and my heat setup is wack

#

i need to clear bounties

#

and that takes time

unborn remnant
#

So my next run is run 100

#

think I might go old school for this one

#

Aspect of Zag sword

untold geyser
#

any good faqs on what there is to done in the game after clearing it once?

#

what to aim for?

#

everyone just says 'keep playing and things will happen'

craggy barn
#

how lucky does one have to be to get low tolerance + curse of nausea + splitting headache in the same run

digital python
#

the idea is just to keep turning up the heat and clearing the game and you'll unlock the rest of the story + hidden aspects and you'll need to make more attempts anyways to get things like companions

grand crystal
#

^^^very much so, the main story is beaten via 10 runs, and after that epilogue exists

digital python
#

yeah this game has so much

grand crystal
#

romances, companions, aspects, prophecies

#

heat if youre into that

#

speedrunning if youre into that too

digital python
#

i've gotten past 10 runs but im still trying to get all the companions

#

and i just rlly want to see eurydice and orpheus back together

#

also i've heard there's also more challnges in the epilogue which i dont think ive unlocked yet?

#

idk how u unlock the epilogue lmao

grand crystal
#

its just dialogue and nectar :/

#

like you need 6 olympians to be forged bonds and then talk to mom

#

thats it

digital python
#

ohh ok

grand crystal
#

its just plot, no real gameplay things

digital python
#

tha's fair i havent been forging bonds with olympians cuz im trying to get the companions still

#

also i love plot lmao

unborn remnant
#

also hello hello @half zephyr

unborn remnant
#

hru?

digital python
#

so i've heard enabling Extreme Measures for the Pact of Punishment is a good idea and i liked the upgraded furies fight but the hydra fight is AWFUL i keep running straight into lava omfg

#

i was using the fists and i coudn't even hit them without standing in lava

#

is it even possible to hit them without just taking a bunch of lava damage? is that just the tradeoff??? higher heat but u WILL get burnt

#

still dont understand how zagreus gets burnt in lava when he has flaming feet tho lmao

half zephyr
#

Might go beat up daddy dearest as a small sanity break

grand crystal
#

and i think thats actually one of the voicelines when you enter asphodel

half zephyr
#

Someone has never watched or read One Piece

digital python
#

yea totally not im not devoting like several month of my life to watching like over 500 anime episodes

#

i did that w/ naruto and it wasn't even worth it lmao

half zephyr
#

Anyways EM2 is not that hard - just pay attention to where you stand 😗

grand crystal
#

^^ yeaa

unborn remnant
#

yeah

grand crystal
#

it is harder with physical weapons tho

half zephyr
#

Unless it’s Arthur

grand crystal
#

arthur poopoo :3

#

now poseidon sword

#

thats where its at

half zephyr
#

Not against EM2 no

#

Cuz you can just cheat w Arthur & stand on the lava

grand crystal
#

lmao yea i forget the special circle does that for some reason

half zephyr
#

Disables traps on the ground

#

And ofc lava is a trap

#

Asphodel is just a hardcore game of “The floor is Lava”

grand crystal
#

or just like

#

get good

#

and dont rely on weapon gimmicks

digital python
#

i was using the fists the only way i could get close enough to attack was standing in lava >:(

grand crystal
#

if i can get to hades on 32 heat with a garbage build then i think you can manage

digital python
#

dude i was asking for tips u dont need to flex we get it ur good at the game

sharp fossil
#

do you like, only do dash only runs or something

#

proper use of weapon gimmicks is like half the skill of this game

grand crystal
#

lol i can do em2 hydra with relative ease with every weapon, yes i play around weapon gimmicks but the use of em fall into builds

#

playstyle honestly doenst change much unless im using fist/sword

#

then my gamer brain kicks in

sharp fossil
#

with a couple of exceptions like ME, builds are designed for specific aspects to make the most use of their abilities

unborn remnant
#

Hades but the floor is lava

sharp fossil
#

“relying on a weapon gimmick” is not something to criticise

#

the best players make and break world records by using “weapon gimmicks” to maximum effect

grand crystal
#

i meant that comment more jokingly but ok ig

runic sparrow
#

you know what'd be kinda neat? a few more animated hades shorts

#

like we have the one of zag fighting the hydra and getting rekt

sharp fossil
#

when that came out a bunch of us were clamouring for like a hades series or something

#

pipe dream but it’d be fun

runic sparrow
#

I doubt we'd get anything official, but I'm sure there's plenty of talented animators out there that could do something

#

especially given the vast number of voice lines we have

#

wouldn't be too hard to take those and arrange them into some sort of 1-2 minute animatic

sharp fossil
#

that actually does sound pretty hard haha

#

be pretty cool tho yeah

runic sparrow
#

what, the voiceline bit, or the animation bit?

tawdry sedge
#

Do you know if there will be more merchandise for the game? Statues, figures? Or anything?

btw i'd like to report 2 visual "glitches" of sorts : the house of hades column upgrade with skulled statues : the one that's in the top left corner of the lounge clips weirdly behind or rather inside the wall

#

and one of the two bloody fountains upgrade in house of hades : the one next to zagreus room clips weirdly with the bottom part of the displayed weapon on the right side of the door (the part of the sword or axe that would be held seems like its inside the back of the fountain)
