I'm looking at the codex and in the others of note there is one undiscovered, looking at the wiki it doesn't show anyone who I don't have there.. he's the most bottom one.

every time I look at the victory boasting I'm just surprised how many times they've cleared a run

as of last night
how many hours do you have

i just can’t beat hades man
same like I have 60 runs and 1 clear

how many hours do you have

not too sure
ive played on several accounts and EA so i dont have an accurate count of hours :/

if you find a pom in the dungeon does that reset the mom pom counter?

no, mom pom is its own thing

There are some builds that can scale really well with poms

Highest I've seen is 46, but I've heard that some people have got it to 50 befor...
oh my god that's insane
trail plover
I bet it probably works if you just don't take a bunch of boons like I do. XD
grand crystal
yea poseidon/aphro sweet nectar :3
glossy umbra
you can get some pretty high level boons if you get sweet nectar, mom pom, and only use a couple boons so they hit the same one more often
highest I've had is 21 but it's definitely possible to get way higher
carmine ravine
i dont see the point of going high level boons since its all diminished returns
unborn remnant
Its funny
grand crystal
^^yea thats about it
ancient current
Yea i don’t level up boons all that often
if it’s a choice between a pom and another item i’ll take the other item most of the time
warped iron
i dont see the point of going high level boons since its all diminished returns
It diminishes to a certain extent but at some point it stops diminishing.
So, yesn't.

what are unseeded/seeded runs?
wise sparrow
seeded means you know what rewards the rooms will give
unseeded means you have no clue
simple tulip
how do you make a run seeded then?
simple tulip
seeded means you know what rewards the rooms will give
how is this possible?
brisk trail
You can manipulate the game's RNG.
wise sparrow
just play through the run and before you die select give up
simple tulip
ah
wise sparrow
or you can use a mod to see the seed
simple tulip
so is that why rhere is a clip of the person suiciding? before the run
to show it is unseeded
brisk trail
Yup.
wise sparrow
yes to prove unseeded

I wonder if the concept of Death exists because Thanatos exists or if it's the other way around, like he was born in order to embody the concept of Death
grand crystal
i like how dnd puts it actually
runic parrot
i like to think they're the same
grand crystal
its there because its a facet of life thats worshiped
without the followers or the believers, then why does it exist
runic parrot
iirc in the myths sisyphus tied down thanatos so no one could die
so the personification is inherently tied to the concept
grand crystal
^^yea it was kinda funny imo
like, just a while of no one dying
i like to see it as the personification is tied to the concept, which is tied to the people
but thats just me :3
charred anchor
hmm im using hera bow with aphro cast, should i go with flurry shot, chain shot or triple shot
how does triple shot even work with hera
desert meadow
The cast hits on your main shot (the middle)
grand crystal
^^
desert meadow
The extra two are just your attack
grand crystal
id say chain :3
charred anchor
yeah i was leaning towards that one anyway
grand crystal
im not a fan of flurry and triple kinda poopy unless thats the setup youre going for
desert meadow
Yeah chain is probably best
wild solar
I have a q
If you get a Hermes boon offered by Charon, is that one of your two?
charred anchor
i dont think so
desert meadow
Flurry would be better on Zag bow tbh
charred anchor
i like flurry shot but not with hera
wild solar
Cause I wanna go see Eurydice and Orpheus 
desert meadow
I have a q
If you get a Hermes boon offered by Charon, is that one of your two?
Maybe? I’ve gotten 3 Hermes boons before due to shops so not sure
grand crystal
i think the max you can get is 3 
since i generally get the 2 and theres a 3rd in styx shop

Yeah

I love Rama Bow with spread shot
runic parrot
like they're inseparable now but I wonder which came first
they came at the same time
grand crystal
like they're inseparable now but I wonder which came first
i think its the concept led to the personification

with death came thanatos and with thanatos came death

runic parrot
that swhat i think anyway
grand crystal
I love Rama Bow with spread shot
triple shot + point blank rama 
wild solar
it was so fun to do
hollow kettle
though that would mean that in the time before Than was born death didn't exist

Gotta remember, everyone is much older than they look.

When Orpheus and Eurydice are together, why is it after they finish the song, they have an instrumental version?
grand crystal
why not
wild solar
And also
Why does Rama bow charge up super fast sometimes?
brisk trail
Dash-Striking?
runic parrot
And also
Why does Rama bow charge up super fast sometimes?
you might be dash attacking
grand crystal
And also
Why does Rama bow charge up super fast sometimes?
dash striking messes with the timing
wild solar
Oh
grand crystal
hence why bow users only dash strike 😎
wild solar
They do?
runic parrot
because there's no band to do the music
i misread. maybe they just got tired of singing
wild solar
You don't hide in a corner and murder everything that comes close?
runic parrot
too slow
hollow kettle
Zag is probably older than he looks too, he's considered young by the other gods but that's in comparison to them who have been around for quite a while
runic parrot
going zoom zoom zoomies is the only way to go
wild solar
Imagine needing to do td 😪
I have no reason to go zoom zoom rn
I will later
But not for a while yet

once i got my sub 12 i was happy :3
it was like 11:00.64 or smth dumb

timing runs is the worst

and i was like eh screw it i satisfied with 11 minutes

(im also on hell mode and didnt do fo2 or em2 strats)
so im sure i could go faster
im just lazy
runic parrot
im not even doing it for the td
i just wanna get a time pb
td makes it longer since you dont get survival rooms as often
wild solar
I'd rather farm everything rather than do more stuff
charred anchor
im used to breezing thru td because i usually use fists
brisk trail
If you want a time PB, don't take Tight Deadline.
It disables Surival rooms entirely.
wild solar
pb?

Personal best
brisk trail
That's a free 20 seconds off a run.
wild solar
don't give a crap about personal best
runic parrot
the only pacts i take are the two forced overtimes
grand crystal
yea each survival room is like 45 seconds
wild solar
how fast i've done something never mattered to me
grand crystal
and than rooms can last a while
so those are free rooms essentially if youre going for game timer
runic parrot
yeah
grand crystal
for real time tho i think td is better to take
runic parrot
definitely buti dont really care about rta time
grand crystal
how fast i've done something never mattered to me
hehe the thrill of beating hollow knight in 51 minutes tho is epic :3
runic parrot
all of my runs are 1 hour rta no matter how fast my igt is
grand crystal
yea, speedrunning isnt for everyone :/
i just like it, i think its fun to go fast
and plus for me after a certain point i naturally go fast
brisk trail
all of my runs are 1 hour rta no matter how fast my igt is
If you don't spend 5 minutes debating every 2+ door option, are you really even optimizing?
grand crystal
so speedrunning is only a slight step up
wild solar
what does the a in rta stand for
rt stands for real time
runic parrot
If you don't spend 5 minutes debating every 2+ door option, are you really even ...
i dont know why i spend so long in my rta's
real time attack
runic parrot
huh idk
i just picked it up somewhere
maybe ive confused the acronyms
ive just got used to calling it RTA
runic parrot
im pretty sure its from speedruns

One solution another server I used to be in used is a levelling system and only people with/above a certain level could use the vc

theres prob a lot of people that just like.. lurk combat/high heat and stuff too

how many people's runs got extended by 30min+ being in Eurydice's chamber
give an estimate

what is the best bow aspect?
pallid basalt
Me : This run is shaping up to be crap; nothing suiting my playstyle. Best to give up on this one and try again.
Game : LOL, Did you want the exact same run you just quit out of? Okay, here you go! Everything exactly the same.
brazen lagoon
Yeah if you want a different run you have to either finish it or die
manic moat
fun fact so if you have a god keepsake on and you change to another god keepsake while giving up and keeping the same seed, the boons will be same, so if there was like an epic cast with artemis keepsake, you can give up, change to dio keepsake, and the epic cast will still be there
also if the first boon is a hammer and you know which hammers there are going to be, it helps so you can build around that hammer, which with a weapon like rail is really useful
lost wolf
Bruh I hate when hades true combos you for half your entire health bar
rough hazel
fun fact so if you have a god keepsake on and you change to another god keepsake...
when you said dio keepsake, I immediately thought of jojo
imagine that a 'the world' boon

hollow hawk
do you know how to get perfect catches?
quaint pagoda
Better time
acoustic quartz
listen to audio queues
quaint pagoda
That's what I meant
hollow hawk
if you dont know how to consistently get perfect catches, this might help you:
- 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)
- focus on the sound
- Know that if you have gotten 3 fake bites, the 4th one will always be a real bite.
- try to focus somewhere else on the screen, and try to catch the fish using your peripheral vision
personally, 1 and 3 work best for me
hollow hawk
yeah it gets better with practice
hollow hawk
what if ME activated maim
nah wouldnt be too good, since with gilga you want to be dashing a lot with ME, and to have to special everytime is just eh
with impending doom and like a level 4 doom attack, youre already doing much more dps than maim would ever do

You get 2, but only if you beat hades too
And it’ll count as heat 1 I believe

Do I still take damage when ||I am invisible from Hades call||
runic parrot
i think so
vapid narwhal
you are invisible not invincible
carmine ravine
you cant be targeted so i guess
craggy barn
you actually are invulnerable while invisible
it's basically athena's aid but better(?)
runic parrot
are you?
craggy barn
yeah
you can take a laser to the face and go unscathed
besides if you're not invulnerable while invisible then how come i can't beat up daddy dearest after he goes "Darkness!"
hollow hawk
Also important thing, if you attack while invincible using Dad call at 50% (not the greater call), you become vulnerable
So its worse than athena call, since with athena call you can attack too
hollow hawk
best 12 heat settings?
Probably a combination of em2 + middle management + benefits package 1 + td2
I haven't counted how much heat that is, but just saying that those pacts are probably the easiest
brazen lagoon
That's 10
hollow hawk
ah, just take something like underworld customs or hard labor 1 + lasting consequences 1 to fill in the 2 heat

Baj is pretty much objectively the best zeus shield player
runic parrot
my bad
hollow hawk
He has the wr on highest heat and fastest time with zeus shield
runic parrot
i don't actively watch videos on games i already play
hollow hawk
he attempted 61 heat with it recently, got to hades 2nd phase but then timer because of 4 sack killed him
unborn remnant
thats an alpha move
hollow hawk
i don't actively watch videos on games i already play
You dont have to watch any vids really, just pop into the #h1-high-heat-strategies chat or the speedrunning discord
unborn remnant
theres tons of cool stuff zeus shield sets up for
you can push people into it, kite enemies into it, make it follow you
hollow hawk
Lyte, if you dont already know, you can go Ruthless Reflex on Zeus shield
unborn remnant
And that's who's special again?
hollow hawk
because the dash attack on zeus shield is a dash
Ruthless reflex is opposite to greater reflex
In the mirror
hollow hawk
If you dash attack after dashing quickly, you can get it to slide and function as a second dash
unborn remnant
i kinda wanna try running an impending doom build on the zeus shield
unborn remnant
I've only ever used zeus special with it
hollow hawk
Try to get dire misfortune and impending doom
hollow hawk
You can also do arty special and aphro dash and attack, go for heartrend
Eh doesnt matter much
unborn remnant
aight
hollow hawk
Also obviously with ares special and athena attack, you want merciful end
So go god's legacy
unborn remnant
yeah absolutely
humble lintel
probably dumb but what is the cast of choice for beowulf?
and is there anything else I should look for in a build?
trail plover
Using shield rush attack as an extra dash. Why didn’t I think of that? 😂
unborn remnant
same tbh
i like have multiple dashes for running away from zeus shield
you can turn it into a massive moving hitbox
manic moat
probably dumb but what is the cast of choice for beowulf?
trippy flare is pretty good, with the duos boons and legendary
craggy barn
flood flare is also great for consistency
signal aspen
probably dumb but what is the cast of choice for beowulf?
aphro, dio, arte, and poseidon are all good choices
hollow hawk
mirage shot is a duo boon you want with beo on all casts really
same with arty legendary, but that is less necessary and harder to get
digital python
the mini boses int he styx will NEVR not give me intense anxiety cuz i just KNOW i can break a run facing a miniboss
charred anchor
aphro, dio, arte, and poseidon are all good choices
aphro is the best imo
digital python
oh my god did i just die TWICE to a single room in the styx
charred anchor
rest in peace
digital python
it wasn't even a miniboss r u kidding me
charred anchor
what do yall think is the best cast for aspect of poseidon

artemis no question

and am getting closer to beating the third boss without needing it
once i get there i recone i can put down hades

i didn’t beat meg until like my 25th attempt lol

meg took me a while but bone hydra i beat second try

that’s really good
once i cleared meg i could get her pretty consistently
but once i cleared lernie it was like exponential improvement
dusky scaffold
so how do you unlock thos locked things at the bottom of the keepsake thing i got 5 non zag aspects is there somthing else i need?
hasty owl
i think it’s that you have to have 5 blood in non zag aspects for every weapon
and then you need to talk to achilles
signal aspen
you have to give nectar and ambrosia to certain people
hasty owl
and then a bunch of other people
signal aspen
for the things at the bottom of the keepsake thing
dusky scaffold
hasty owl
oh tbe keepsake thing sorry misread that
zag aspect stuff is to unlock secret weapons
keepsake stuff is about forming bonds w npcs

Now that I have easier access to Titan

if you really want to use zag aspects i would recommend bow, rail, and shield

Ok

it’s incredibly powerful and fast, lets you get more blood
i finished maxing all the blood stuff today and i WISH i got eris sooner
signal aspen
chiron is really good
hasty owl
if you can get chiron w concentrated volley and relentless volley your run will be SET
desert meadow
Eris rail, Chaos shield (once upgraded a few times), Poseidon sword, & Demeter fists are also good

yeah chaos shield carried me when i was a beginner
and 32 heat lol
so i guess not quite a beginner anymore

half zephyr
Current status: headache, watching Bioshock 2 semi-blind let’s play & debating another hades run as a sanity break from rf4 again
I’m already on a sanity break from the living dex again

So long as it’s not a migraine I’m ok w it

It'd be "y'all's" btw
quaint pagoda
Alright I just relistened to the song like 3 times
desert meadow
As it's possessive with the s
grand crystal
It'd be "y'all's" btw
so many damn apostrophes
grand crystal
I’ve had them just about every day since I was.. 11? 10?
damn
half zephyr
I can’t help read that as “You all is”
desert meadow
It gets worse, apparently "y'all'd've" is a thing
half zephyr
You all would have
desert meadow
Yeah
grand crystal
hehe southern drawl is funny
desert meadow
Alright I just relistened to the song like 3 times
In the Blood?
grand crystal
i was raised in tennessee so i lack the accent and i dont have the dialect at all
i just use it in messaging since its easier
desert meadow
I'm not southern at all, I just find y'all fun to say lol
grand crystal
hehe yea
sometimes i have a bit of a drawl but not much :/
just on a few words or accentuations
half zephyr
I’m always fascinated by “ain’t”
grand crystal
god i wanna hear zag but he has a southern accent instead of the bri ish or whatever darren did
grand crystal
hehe yaint
desert meadow
god i wanna hear zag but he has a southern accent instead of the bri ish or what...
Oh my word, yes
quaint pagoda
In the Blood?
yea
desert meadow
Good song
desert meadow
I had the whole soundtrack on repeat for weeks tbh
grand crystal
tbh the hades ost to me is like "ill vibe out in game but otherwise i only listen to the vocal tracks"
half zephyr
god i wanna hear zag but he has a southern accent instead of the bri ish or what...
I’d love to hear everything in Greek, but that would likely not be that easy to pull off
desert meadow
I personally prefer rock/metal when listening to music so Hades' OST is great
But I understand that
half zephyr
I love a lot of music
grand crystal
hehe force logan cunningham to learn greek
half zephyr
Some of it not as accepted as other kinds
grand crystal
i mostly listen to like alt stuff so hades is eh :/
brisk trail
I think they considered having all the dialogue be in Greek at one point.
grand crystal

oh??
desert meadow

I could be wrong.
half zephyr

I grew up on Megadeth, dream theater, rammstein & Black Sabbath
With some Alice cooper on the side
grand crystal
i grew up on copious amounts of pop, country, and classic rock
half zephyr
In addition to the Normal kids music I listened to & classical music
Hades ost is perfection to my ears
tight cave
We talking about the Hades soundtrack? 'On the Coast' is an underrated gem imo, but that might just be the orchestral nerd in me.
grand crystal
and it did not shape my tastes at all besides maybe like 2 country songs and a bit of classic rock
i mean in terms of sound design i really loved on the coast
desert meadow
On the Coast is beautiful
grand crystal
as a song to listen too im very :/ yk
desert meadow
I suppose I'm the weird one then, my music library is just stuff from video games
Hades' ost just fit right in
grand crystal
darren and ashley make up a solid chunk of my main music tho :3
half zephyr
Oh, never mind my potential hades run - I just remembered I’d have to do a spear run 
desert meadow
pffffft
grand crystal
why spear??
desert meadow
That's a mood though
grand crystal
spear kinda eh ngl, not my favorite
half zephyr
Cuz the spear be Thirsty
desert meadow
I really need to learn the spear tbh
grand crystal
thirst
desert meadow
And no, bad, that's a cursed sentence
grand crystal
how else are you supposed to describe it :/
half zephyr
Is it better if I say the spear has a dark thirst?
half zephyr
Really it’s your minds right now
grand crystal
lol
half zephyr
No matter how you try to phrase it now it’ll sound wrong
grand crystal
our minds are deep in that gutter
half zephyr
I have so many lines I could add to make it worse, but they not for this server
desert meadow
Oh no
half zephyr
Damnit now I can’t write
desert meadow
Shadow has too much power
grand crystal
yeaa
half zephyr
It’s so.. vanilla
grand crystal
but i mean we got bow for range 😎
half zephyr
More so then even the sword
grand crystal
sword at least feels fun
dusky wedge
Is it just me then that still likes the spear? Lol
desert meadow
Teach us your secrets
grand crystal
i used to like it
desert meadow
How the heck do you make it work?
grand crystal
but now it feels gross
dusky wedge
Special then dash strike?
dusky wedge
Never used the spin much
half zephyr
it just feels wrong
grand crystal
spin is fun kinda
dusky wedge
Very risky, can’t ever make spin builds work
Which is why I hate guan yu lol
Achilles is best
desert meadow
The spin is needed for Hades spear though?
I've used it twice so maybe I'm misremembering
half zephyr
Big spin
grand crystal
The spin is needed for Hades spear though?
yea it makes spin massive and whoever is hit by it takes 150% form attack and special
desert meadow
Oh
desert meadow
It sounds fun
half zephyr
I
grand crystal
but achilles goes woosh
desert meadow
I was gonna try Beowolf again next but hmmm Achilles is tempting now
half zephyr
dusky wedge
In the name of hades
grand crystal
I was gonna try Beowolf again next but hmmm Achilles is tempting now
achilles makes ares/dem just shred
like getting 40-60 per 0.3 seconds with ares is crazy
especially if you get hunting blades
half zephyr
In the name of hades
In the name of someone very sore right now*
desert meadow
I need to go for Dem cast duos to fill that prophecy anyway
Is it better with Infernal or Stygian soul?
grand crystal
lol once i filled duo prophecy i never touched dem cast again
stygian if you can get more casts
half zephyr
lol once i filled duo prophecy i never touched dem cast again
Dem cast can be good
half zephyr
If you gets seeking
grand crystal
feels disgusting
half zephyr
I’m ok with it
dusky wedge
It’s like Zeus, needs focused boons
half zephyr
I fell in love with Stygian
lost wolf
Are duo boons considered “rare or better”?
desert meadow
I need that too
dusky wedge
Dem cast without the supports is meh
grand crystal
Are duo boons considered “rare or better”?
i honestly dont know
half zephyr
Are duo boons considered “rare or better”?
It’s in the legendary category
desert meadow
Oh, and Dem legendary
I could knock out so many of these with one run lol
half zephyr
On the mirror
grand crystal
its a question if legendary and duo are counted in "rare or better"
half zephyr
its a question if legendary and duo are counted in "rare or better"
Hmm, depends on the duo & when you get it I suppose
lost wolf
Idk if using the chaos boon for rare and better would increase the odds for duos
half zephyr
Getting the guaranteed epic boons one in Tartarus is a rare event for me & makes it a near legendary duo boon in my eyes
grand crystal
i feel like "rare or better" only quantifies boon rarities up to heroic tho
desert meadow
I mean, getting an aspect maxed makes it legendary, so I'd say they're above heroic boons
dusky wedge
Duo is always easier to get than legendaries though, because reqs
half zephyr
Just get all prerequisites you need & hope for the best
dusky wedge
Heroics never shows up unless with Rare Crops, right?
honest sundial
The Chaos rarity boon increases chances of finding Legendary or Duo boons by 10
grand crystal
heroics can also show up with trades :3
half zephyr
Heroics never shows up unless with Rare Crops, right?
Can show up with replace
grand crystal
but thats it
dusky wedge
Ah, yes
desert meadow
Or you can get them via Eurydice
half zephyr
Has to be replacing an epic boon
dusky wedge
But getting a replace seems harder too
honest sundial
Heroic can be achieved by upgrading Epic boons with Eurydice
half zephyr
I get them all the time
dusky wedge
Is there a way to makes replace more “guaranteed”?
half zephyr
Usually when I don’t want them
dusky wedge
^
honest sundial
You can't rely on replacements
desert meadow
They seem to only pop up during trials tbh
honest sundial
they are offered very rarely and inconsistently
half zephyr
Well, I’ve had my sanity break from my sanity break now
Fun chatting, time to head back to RF4
grand crystal
bye shadow :3
desert meadow
Cya!
honest sundial
Is there anywhere online that I can find what bonuses the Poms give to boons?
for the first several levels atleast
grand crystal
🙃
it has rarity and scaling for all attack boons only i think
so for everything else just go to the wiki :3
honest sundial
What does min - max mean?
grand crystal
all attack boons have a random base that they give you
like sometimes the epic aphro attack can give 91 instead of 92
and it chooses something in the range
lost wolf
Soo... I tried to make a Chaos Mii...

Demeter Artemis duo makes Demeter cast so nice

Hoping for Artemis' legendary
half zephyr
good luck
I was gonna lurk in the chat here for a bit, but then I remembered I only got 4h of sleep last night so maybe I should go sleep instead
still not looking forward to that spear run, but maybe I'll have the energy to tackle it tomorrow \0/
half zephyr
it's more the fact I got woken up by the doorbell ringing
makes for a very confused shadow that's suddenly very very awake & wondering wth is going on
well, Imma let Hypnos do his thing
tty tomorrow

ooo, duo duo(so to speak)
I got the Artemis/Poseidon duo(Second shot from your cast) while having the Artemis/Ares duo(Seeking blade rifts)

Flurry Slash or Dash Nova for Nemesis?

i hate dash nova
since i use nova more close, i approach with a dash into nova
desert meadow
ah

Oh dang. Speaking of, I just finished a run with Athena's aid and when it came to the lasers I just activated it and stood there laying into him. Like "Screw you dad I do what I want".

Yeah, I'll probably go FS

Guys, at some point Achilles told me in a convo that he ordered the contractor to tidy up my boons compendium or something like that... What was he talking about i couldnt find out
grand crystal
oh go to the first page of the contractor and go to the 2nd page or until you see the codex buff :3
limber rose
Oh that's it... I think i had the boons list for each god before Achilles mentioned it. Cool
woeful robin
Has there been any discussion of letting m+kb aim the spear special while having aim at mouse off similar to how we can with rail special?
grand crystal
hehe i just thought of a legendary for ares called "misery loves company" and it would work similarly to peer pressure but its doom :3
like ofc weakend doom but you get the gist
woeful robin
sounds interesting
would probably also bounce the doom back and forth if left to its own
humble lintel
they arent adding any content anymore right
woeful robin
so for casual play it'd probably be really strong
humble lintel
i read that theres no DLC, so does that mean no content at all? or will there be balance changes or smth?
grand crystal
i mean considering the test branch exists im sure theyll be updating for patches
but dont expect anything major
narrow hemlock
there have been various adjustments since launch that you can check in #hades-patch-notes but as far as we currently know, there are no further content plans. the game is a complete narrative experience
simple tulip
is benefits package a hard condition?
grand crystal
depends
bp1 is tolerable and just a nice change while bp2 can be run ending
bp2 makes me fear god trials
since they always have annoying pairs like high attack seeking witches
or like speed and anything
brisk trail
Puller Shifter Flamewheels.
brisk trail
And the vibe is always harsh.
grand crystal
lol
but yea thats how i feel about bp
bp1 is ight, bp2 is scary sometimes but can be easy if youre lucky
prisma pelican
Does anyone know if the gamestop physical version of Hades comes with everything that was mentioned in the direct?
simple tulip
bp1 is tolerable and just a nice change while bp2 can be run ending
ill take bp1 then
narrow hemlock
Does anyone know if the gamestop physical version of Hades comes with everything...
the site doesnt specify, but i believe its all retail versions. i've checked listings for amazon, target and best buy and they all mention the soundtrack code and character compendium, so i would hazard a guess it should apply to gamestop
narrow hemlock
when in doubt, order elsewhere
simple tulip
should i purge an epic hunter's mark or a rare dash strike
grand crystal
hunters mark
arte dash is too good
and hunters mark still isnt even guaranteed damage

ok
