[grand crystal]

i still hear his in fight lines ;w;

[narrow hemlock]

damn you hate him that much that annoys you too?

[grand crystal]

and i was playing em3 actually and there was a line about him running me over with the chariot but it was destroyed already

[modern arch]

Incredible

[grand crystal]

wut

how did i-

[narrow hemlock]

the word you used had a word contained in it thats in the filter

[grand crystal]

is the other word for hubris banned

wtf

[modern arch]

Troy?

[brazen lagoon]

Roostery

[narrow hemlock]

that word isnt banned, its just a symptom of the filter, it doesnt differentiate. if it detects a banned word within something, it nukes the whole thing, no exceptions

[modern arch]

Ah I see

[grand crystal]

ah

makes sense tho

but yea theseus is just so full of himself i just wanna strangle him

[brazen lagoon]

I find it kinda hilarious tbh

[grand crystal]

it was funny until i ran out of dialogue

[brazen lagoon]

No matter how many times you kick his ass he's still like 'you'll go no further blackguard'

[grand crystal]

then i just got bored and started hating him more

[modern arch]

‘i WiLl NeVeR fAlL tO yOu’

[grand crystal]

"I WiIL RuN yoU ThRoUhg"

[modern arch]

Here’s a question,, I only know a bit about Theseus in actual myths, other than his stint in the underworld w/ his friend, him fighting Minotaur, abandoning that chick, and his boat

[narrow hemlock]

ariadne

[grand crystal]

yea thats about it

[modern arch]

What are some other thinks he did?

How did he be so cool as king?

[narrow hemlock]

stuff that cant really be discussed here without heavily sanitizing it

[modern arch]

And such?

[narrow hemlock]

i suggest you just research a bit

[modern arch]

Ahhh, a dm maybe ??

I mean yeah greek myths r wild

[desert meadow]

Mood

[brisk trail]

i got the end credits!

[desert meadow]

Makes murdering him every time worth it though

[brisk trail]

the end credits song is amazing..

[desert meadow]

Congrats!

[brisk trail]

i just. the voice actors are aamazing

[shrewd sail]

hi supergiant, are there any plans on making a femal hades character? Seeing that you have very beautiful femal characters i was wondering what your genderswap hades would look like and would really love to play as her

[modern arch]

I’m sorry but femal?

[shrewd sail]

my e keeps getting stuck i guess

[vapid narwhal]

there is probably one in #fan-works

[shrewd sail]

id love to see the people at supergiant design it though, they have very talented people. i really love all their character designs

[runic parrot]

greek fish in c tier

familiarity = good

at least i know how to handle a bass

[brazen lagoon]

Put some respect on my boys chrustacean and flameater

[modern arch]

I wish I could fish in the void 😔

Literally only ever got one chance to fish there so far

[runic parrot]

ive never caught a voidskate in my life

that codex slot is still empty

[modern arch]

I need more gupps

But I’m actually generally good at fishing so I don’t get them often

[runic parrot]

i keep getting rare fish even when im perfect catching

i have the worst luck in the world

[flat halo]

I literally caught nothing but voidfish

So I have 2 empty slots

[rapid forum]

:3

[manic bobcat]

360 hours, 2 void, and that's about it for Chaos fish

End me

[final trellis]

idk about you guys but I suck at hades Im like 70 runs in and only have 1 clear

[wise sparrow]

i havent fished since i finished mirror

feelsfishman

[plain smelt]

After being stubborn as heck, I finally managed to get a clear on my 24th Switch run. (It took me 27 for PC.) I’ve found God Mode so helpful as a disabled player; the accessibility is so interesting and refreshing

[modern arch]

Don’t worry! We all progress at different levels! Glad that ur still at it tho :)

[final trellis]

I mean I still love playing it so it's fine 🤷

[plain smelt]

@final trellis I’m glad! Are you a God Mode player or no?

[chrome edge]

have the reroll thing that works on charon wells then be ready to roll if you get a well and chaos gate in the same room

aiming for the guaranteed fishing spot item

wait mangled that mentally

i always roll at the end of asphodel in the hope of a chaos gate at the start of elysium, worked a few times, at worst I get some nectar from an elysium fish instead

[acoustic quartz]

same lmao

im like 76 runs in and have 3 clears

[final trellis]

@plain smelt I try to avoid it but I'm going to have to admit I did use it to beat that one run lmao

I feel like I don't need it though I've made it to Hades many times without God mode

[acoustic quartz]

you'll get better over time man

try studying his patterns and timing your attacks right or smth

you can also experiment with weapon builds

[woeful robin]

scuffed list

scuffer not D

[night leaf]

Guys I've never caught a rare fish

with 100+ hours I-

how do I get them?

[brazen lagoon]

Fast

[carmine ravine]

U fish them out

Use as bait

[hushed pumice]

You need to react quickly

[half zephyr]

best to just use audio

react to that instead of the so called flash

[hushed pumice]

Your catch has a better chance of being rare the faster you react

[modern arch]

I like to think Theseus is always yelling

Man does not know an inside voice

[carmine ravine]

*man always speak in first person probably

[wet orchid]

Theseus being in Elysium is a sign that the system for judging mortals is flawed

[runic parrot]

do you mean third person because i think most people speak in first person

[snow spear]

Guys how am I supposed to collect off-map cast shards?

I walk to the closest point possible but I can't collect them

because they are out

[runic parrot]

they'll come back to you eventually

like 10 seconds?

and you dont have to collect them if you've already finished the room lol, it's not like you lose them if you do that

[snow spear]

my build relies on collecting shards fast

but when they stop outside of map it is impossible...

[runic parrot]

the trick is to not send them out that far in the first place

[snow spear]

I do not control them, they are enemy seekers

[runic parrot]

true shot?

the trick is to not let your enemies get far from you

[snow spear]

Slicing Shot

actually I think the "trick is" fixing the code that causes this :D

[runic parrot]

slicing shot?

ohh ares

i always just call it blade cast lol

i find ares' cast to be much more useful with stygian soul

i dont have to keep collecting the casts

[snow spear]

I did not know in advance that I will get that power :/

[runic parrot]

i assume u dont have all of the mirror unlocked then

[snow spear]

I do, why?

[runic parrot]

ah, i misunderstood

i thought you meant you didnt have stygian soul

yeah just be careful when you have ares' cast

try to get hermes' legendary if you can

[gaunt geyser]

fun fact, Do NOT go aspect of lucifer + Poisdons attack

its not good lol

[brazen lagoon]

you just havent used it properly

[gaunt geyser]

maybe. i'm guessing it goes well with sea storm

[snow spear]

When can I start giving out ambrosia?

[signal aspen]

once you give enough nectar to them

you can give ambrosia to the locked hearts

[snow spear]

well I tried

[half zephyr]

Have to unlock the heart first

[hollow hawk]

theres a name for that build, super soaker

its so fun honestly

even though its not the most dmg

you should also aim for poseidon t2s with such a build

[half zephyr]

Well, it’s based on old Greek hero stereotype
Kill lots of people & if possible be flashy about it

And maybe have some godly heritage/parent

[gaunt geyser]

its acctually what i had planned but i didnt find zues the entire time and died in bloody bone hydra

[hollow hawk]

lol

rip

[gaunt geyser]

first boon was epic attack 2

[unborn remnant]

Hello all

[signal aspen]

hello

[wild island]

the hades fight is hard

[edgy atlas]

Does anyone know if Sisyphus' keepsake is affected by Pressure Points?

Pressure Points makes any damage have a critical chance

So technically it's a boon that boosts attack

Ares' boon that makes Atk Special and Cast do more damage too

[kindred fjord]

Sisyphus' keepsake works with Pressure Points

[edgy atlas]

That's good

I'm trying to beat 32 heat but I can't find any good attack boons

My run is saved

[upper barn]

Someone help me please, I can't start Hades for a few days, I'm almost 70 hours old, says I don't have the necessary memory to run the game, I've already updated video card drivers, Directx and nothing, help me

[kindred copper]

Probably wanna go to #h1-tech-support

[upper barn]

thanks

[brisk trail]

Aspect of lucifer is brutal tho

[craggy barn]

just get triple bomb

ez win

[surreal condor]

That's a thing that exists???

[brisk trail]

Its good

[grand crystal]

yea rail hidden aspect

its alright tbh, not my favorite but ill play it if i have to

[brisk trail]

It goes "AHHH" FALL ANGEL HUMM

ITS like me

[surreal condor]

I don't really like the rail

But cool

[trail plover]

I like the rail with chain lightning + jolted

[edgy atlas]

Nvm I died to Hades for the 40th time

[surreal condor]

Oof

Good luck next time

[rotund galleon]

Luci aspect is fun

especially if you can turn the specian into a nuke

[craggy barn]

you can't get hazard bomb on luci

(sadly)

[edgy atlas]

How did you guys beat 32 heat the first time?

[grand crystal]

ummm

lots of practice

and a good heat list

[edgy atlas]

I've made it to like 70% of Hades' health on his third stage a couple times

Even with Skelly and 3 Death Defiance I can't beat him

[grand crystal]

oh first off use the acorn

acorn is a better trinket

[craggy barn]

acorn is good at styx

[edgy atlas]

Really?

[grand crystal]

yea

[edgy atlas]

I usually get hit five times in his first stage

[craggy barn]

also em4 on 32 heat is bad

[edgy atlas]

Where he summons the mini bosses

[craggy barn]

not even on 40-50 heat

[edgy atlas]

I could try that

I can get through all of 32 heat except that last fight

[grand crystal]

yea i reccomend hl5, lc4(or whatever the max is) to replace a few

dc2 is good

td2 is tolerable

[edgy atlas]

I'm going back and forth with Rama and Hestia

[grand crystal]

cf2

[craggy barn]

#h1-victory-boasting message

[grand crystal]

at least em3 or 2

[craggy barn]

this is the pact i used for my 32 heat

dc2 is really, really bad for slow weapons

[grand crystal]

but with rama its fine

[craggy barn]

if you can consistently get sub 20 wins td3 should be worth it

[grand crystal]

since special will knock it off

mm is ight

uc is tolerable but can screw you over

bp2 is the same as uc ngl

[edgy atlas]

The furthest I've gone with the weapons is like 12 heat with Exagryph

[grand crystal]

js and cp are easy too ngl

[edgy atlas]

But 8 and 16 heat weren't that bad

[grand crystal]

i play with them almost maxed on td2 and still make good times

what was your heat setup toppy??

[edgy atlas]

Let me see if I can show a screenshot from my switch somehow

[half zephyr]

Have to link image

[edgy atlas]

I change it up depending on the weapon

[half zephyr]

Can’t post direct

[craggy barn]

an important tip to 32 heat is knowing what you and your weapon can handle generally

[grand crystal]

^^^very much so

like i dont recomend dc2/cp2 for hestia

[edgy atlas]

https://i.imgur.com/WXOhBAr.jpg

This is what I was about to do with Hestia

For Rama I add DC2 and take off Convenience Fee+Hard Labor

[grand crystal]

ummm ok

first off

take stubborn defiance

and turn hard labor and lasting conseqiences all the way up

dont take ri at all

cf2 is perfectly fine

[edgy atlas]

I'm the type of person that will eventually make a mistake and get hit

[grand crystal]

take td2 if youre comfortable with it

[grand crystal]

yea i do too

but it makes it soo much easier

and maybe take off fo1

screw over my bad

it can screw you over

and dont take em4, at most em3 minimum 2 imo

ap1 is alright but again, can really screw you over

but umm whats your general mirror setup?

[edgy atlas]

This is better? https://i.imgur.com/cQUuhGX.jpg

[craggy barn]

jury summons is terrible on hestia

and calisthenics program makes bosses even rmeo of an issue

[grand crystal]

i would see if you can take off ri

[edgy atlas]

https://i.imgur.com/f75BBCu.jpg

I usually have this for my mirror

[grand crystal]

ah ok

yea for higher lc and hl youll want to take sd and heal from sd

theres also a trick you can do with athena to get another sd

albeit a one off but still good none the less

[edgy atlas]

A trick?

[grand crystal]

yea

essentially you use the sd

and if she gives you a dd boon

you get a free 1 off dd

along with the sd

its a little trick and helpful :3

[edgy atlas]

Thanks

I took Than's keepsake just for extra motivation not to get hit

[grand crystal]

i mean

you do you

i always think its best to take god trinkets for the first 2 areas then either another god trinket or switch to acorn for elysium

[warped talon]

so does the cross-save function work really well?

i'm considering buying hades again on the switch just to play it mobile

[edgy atlas]

I finally won... I almost want to cry out of happiness

It was too easy honestly, but maybe that's because I've been playing a way harder difficulty unintentionally

[grand crystal]

oh you beat 32!?

[edgy atlas]

Yeah on my first try after you guys' help

[grand crystal]

eyyy

🥳

congrats!

[edgy atlas]

I thought Skelly would tell me about his past or who hired him after I beat 32

Oh and I caught a Voidskate too

[grand crystal]

oh nice

yea skelly telling you hwo hired him is different

you need to talk to everyone in the house about skelly and then you should get it

[edgy atlas]

Wait that's it?

I've talked to everyone in the house probably hundreds of times by now

I have everyone maxed out on Ambrosia too

[grand crystal]

yea you have to roll the dialogue for zag to bring up skelly to everyone then you have to roll for him to ask skelly about it

im not going to spoil :3

[hasty owl]

am i the only one who finds em3 so much harder than em4

just lost to them like the third time in a row :,)

[grand crystal]

yea em3 is bs

i can do em4 hades fine

but em3 champions is painful

[hasty owl]

any tips on how to heat it?

beat*

[grand crystal]

ummm

be careful

and thats about it

[hasty owl]

excellent plan

[grand crystal]

you have to be super careful

[hasty owl]

damn i wish i knew that last time

[grand crystal]

lol yea

but seriously

you have to focus asterius

[hasty owl]

i mean practise makes perfect ig

[grand crystal]

but you have to make sure you know where and what theseus is doing

essentially it comes down to practice tho :/

[hasty owl]

welp

four runs in a row!

[grand crystal]

i just dont do em3 :/

[winter harbor]

repetition is the mother of learning

you'll get there

[grand crystal]

i only got kinda used to it after several runs :?

:/

it takes a lot of focus tho

[hasty owl]

might switch em3 for forced overtime

need 15 heat for them bounties

[grand crystal]

ahh

[hasty owl]

although i don’t actually need bounties anymore since i’ve maxed everything but still

for my pride ig lmao

[grand crystal]

a good 15 heat imo is like em2, dc2, td2, cf2, and some js and cp

[half zephyr]

I like em3

[winter harbor]

AS long as you dont get caught in the bull's spin, em3 isn't too bad

[grand crystal]

and some more in case that doesnt really fill 15 :/

[grand crystal]

-_-

[half zephyr]

Just avoid beyblade

[hasty owl]

shadow pls reveal your secretes

[half zephyr]

Theseus is a pushover

He gets even more useless in em3 >.>

[grand crystal]

i see him as more annoying imo

[hasty owl]

yeah but asterius DEMOLISHES me

[grand crystal]

he just suddenly throws himself across the place

[half zephyr]

He’s more hilarious for sure

The laugh

[grand crystal]

and asterius just is too damn fast and on top of me

[half zephyr]

Avoid the beyblade

And jump away when he jumps to you 😗

[grand crystal]

thats the easy part tho, the spin isnt hard to dodge at all

[hasty owl]

my current heat setup is HL1, JS1, EM2, BP1, MM, UC, FO1, TD1

[half zephyr]

Maybe I just move around too much

[grand crystal]

what i do is hit him 2-4 times, and then back out

[hasty owl]

for 15

[grand crystal]

then when hes done attacking hit him a bit more

thats a needlessly hard 15 heat ngl

[half zephyr]

My never ending status effects probably help though

[hasty owl]

i mean i’m taking advice on how to make it easier lol

[grand crystal]

just dont take uc early heat

its just annoying

[half zephyr]

I think a lot of my dmg is dot with Asterius

[grand crystal]

stuff like cf, cp are easy to deal with

if youre good with dds doing hl5 lc4 with sd is easy as hell

[hasty owl]

yeah i should probably switch in cf

[hushed pumice]

CF and CP are some of the worst options

[hasty owl]

i tend to avoid cp tho

cuz it affects bosses which is an absolute nightmare

[hushed pumice]

HL5 LC4 is extremely punishing if you ever get hit

[half zephyr]

And so it begins

[grand crystal]

lol

[grand crystal]

hence why i said if youre good :/

[hasty owl]

you’re right i’ll just casually do a no hit run

image having that kind of skill lol

[hushed pumice]

I mean people don't really take CF until 32+

Sometimes 40+

[grand crystal]

hl5 lc4 isnt as hard as it seems tho

[hushed pumice]

And CP even later

[half zephyr]

Which one is CF again?

[grand crystal]

convenience fee

[hushed pumice]

+40/80% cost

[grand crystal]

i find it easy

[hasty owl]

maybe i’ll max jury summons cus it isn’t too bad with zeus attack on eris

[grand crystal]

gets me less reliant on shops

[half zephyr]

This is turning into the acronym game again

[hasty owl]

yeah cf has minimal effect for me

[grand crystal]

and i generally have enough to buy a couple things anyway

[hasty owl]

oh sorry

i’ll start using full words

[half zephyr]

Nono

[winter harbor]

The BBQ pact is so difficult

[grand crystal]

lol

[hushed pumice]

You would be very surprised by how bad CF is mathematically

[half zephyr]

It’s more fun with the game

[hasty owl]

convenience fee is fairly easy for me

callisthenics program can go die in a hole

[grand crystal]

dc is also dummy easy on zeus eris

[winter harbor]

Acronyms are fun

[grand crystal]

ok cp isnt bad tho i dont see why people dont take it

[winter harbor]

DC is pretty free on fists

[half zephyr]

Trying to guess what everything means & then a new one comes in & doesn’t understand anything discussed

[grand crystal]

i run td2, cp2, and at least js2 and im fine

[hushed pumice]

CP makes every single enemy take longer to kill and the boost to bosses is very noticeable

[winter harbor]

CP + JS = a bad time

[hasty owl]

i gotta get better at going fast anyway

tight deadline 2 should be alright

but then i’m worried about jury summons with tight deadline

[grand crystal]

i run it with td2 and get almost sub 20s -_-

[hushed pumice]

Yeah TD2 is very easy when you get good at the game

Ah, good job. What else do you have on?

[half zephyr]

I’ve started taking longer during my runs - not cuz they’re harder really, but because I’m having too much fun running all tunnels in styx

[hasty owl]

i’m not good, but i’m not bad. i can clear up to 8 heat no problem either very weapon, with mostly success up to 14 or so, and now i’m starting to suffer lol

[grand crystal]

mm, em2, dc2, cp2, cf2, js2 at least, hl5, lc4, uc

td2

pl

is my general 32

[hushed pumice]

Ouch

[half zephyr]

That looks like some odd military code

[grand crystal]

its not hard tho :/

i did it with spear, a weapon i dont like first try with base level gy

[hasty owl]

(middle management, extreme measures, damage control, calisthenics, convenience, jury, hard labour, lasting consequences, underworld customs tight deadline 2)

for shadow

[grand crystal]

and a build i didnt expect to get

[hasty owl]

not sure what PL is

[grand crystal]

personal liability

[half zephyr]

Ty, but didn’t need it

[hasty owl]

oh right

[grand crystal]

hell mode exclusive

[half zephyr]

I know most of them

[hasty owl]

hell mode people b like: suffering

[half zephyr]

Just saying what it looks like out of context

[grand crystal]

i mean im sure cp2 isnt as hard for me since i play on cp1 by force

and always having lc 1 and hl 1 get me used to it

honestly i have a non hell mode file and it feels too easy

like im taking too little damage :/

[hasty owl]

turn up the heat?

[half zephyr]

Thus hell mode

[hushed pumice]

FO2 is the big one

[grand crystal]

i play on like 15-20 casually for bounties on my hell mode file

[hasty owl]

i find fo1 generally fine

[hushed pumice]

Once you put on FO2 everything else hurts twice as badly

[grand crystal]

i take out fo since its just painful

like i can do bosses abd everything perfectly fine without fo

the second i turn it on my timings are off

[hasty owl]

ok how’s this 15 heat rail: hl1, cf1, js2, em2, fo1, dc2, td2

[half zephyr]

Ok I leave now~

[hasty owl]

see ya

[grand crystal]

bye shadow

what rail and build are you going for??

[hasty owl]

eris, full zeus build

[grand crystal]

yea seems good

[hasty owl]

maybe smouldering air, i’ll ofc take divine dash if it shows up, but i’m really aiming for maximum zeus-ness

[grand crystal]

honestly since im not a fan of fo id take like mm or a couple more of the top ones to accommodate

[hasty owl]

might turn on middle management and lift a level of cf and js

since it doesn’t show up too often

ngl i’m worried about the deadline cus im pretty slow

but this definitely seems a lot easier then em3

ok let’s go

[grand crystal]

yeaa

[hasty owl]

i’ll update u guys if i succeed/ die again

[grand crystal]

i mean as long as your times are better than 28 minutes you hsould be fine with td2

ok :3

[hasty owl]

yeah my average runs are around 22min

[grand crystal]

yea you should be fine :3

[hasty owl]

woo

thanks for everyone’s help :)

[grand crystal]

np

[hasty owl]

actually one last question

think i should switch out gods legacy for gods pride

bc the zeus lego is probably gonna show up anyway, and i’m not looking for any duos

[grand crystal]

i mean, you said you might go for smoldering right??

honestly the buff from eris is enough, id just take gods legacy

[hasty owl]

maybe but i’m not gonna go out of my way

kk, thanks :)

[grand crystal]

np :3

[desert meadow]

"zeus lego"
I want Hades Lego sets now

[hasty owl]

lmfao i got absolutely cucked in chamber one

zeus didn’t offer an attack boon even on 3 retold

rolls*

[grand crystal]

oh damn

[hasty owl]

ugh should i just suicide

[grand crystal]

try to get as far as you can :3

[hasty owl]

but

pAin

[grand crystal]

ive had runs where i dont get what i need until asphodel

[hasty owl]

ouch

[grand crystal]

but since i braved through it i was able to clear the run :3

[hasty owl]

hell yes

[grand crystal]

plus you could always just switch what youre going for

[hasty owl]

maybe

ok yeah i need flourish to get the legendary anyway

no suicide today

[grand crystal]

yea and tbh zeus is nice on most specials

[hasty owl]

AAA i have 46 sec on TD

at the fury fight

ugh let’s hope this goes even vaguely well

lol timed out x

[grand crystal]

damn

[hasty owl]

take 2

hopefully this time i’ll get an attack boon before the end of tartarus

sigh

already off to a better start lol

[grand crystal]

nice

i generally take like 4 minute tarts

[hasty owl]

cluster bomb or flurry fire?

[grand crystal]

cluster

cluster is a ride and a half

[hasty owl]

cool :)

DIVINE DASH BOIS

[grand crystal]

epic

[hasty owl]

4:35 tart :)

that was a big improvement

ty mr zeus

swift strike or greater evasion?

[grand crystal]

greater evasion??

[hasty owl]

(hope you don’t mind the questions)

[grand crystal]

an evade % will always be nice

[grand crystal]

oh i dont mind at all :3

i have nothing else to do and i like helping people :3

[hasty owl]

changed my mind i hate middle management

lmao

[grand crystal]

what miniboss??

[hasty owl]

gorgon

got absolutely shredded

on an unrelated note i now have no death defies

so i REALLY hope patty turns up

[grand crystal]

rip

[hasty owl]

ok got one deft back from athena

73 health, time for a good lernie

i hope

update: was not a good lernie i have proceeded to die

tiMe tO tUrN oFf miDdLe mAnAgEmEnT

i mean technically i didn’t get killed by theseus so i guess it’s a win?

i’m gonna have a low heat gilg run just to chill a bit, i’ll come back when i’m done lol

[brisk trail]

[grand crystal]

oh damn

[grand crystal]

thats always a good idea :3

[hasty owl]

cleared :)

[quaint pagoda]

I just got Sisyphus, Eurydice And Patroclus at the same run.

[hasty owl]

made friends along the way

[quaint pagoda]

indeed

[grand crystal]

whats a good quote from dad i can use as a status??

[quaint pagoda]

'boy!'

[grand crystal]

i-

i mean

id like something with a bit more to it

ill see what i can find on the wiki

[quaint pagoda]

I don't know what's the problem with that..

[grand crystal]

its just one word ;w;

and kratos also says boy a lot

and i dont want it to be mistaken

[quaint pagoda]

'boy!!'

use that

[grand crystal]

lol the 2nd exclamation point

[quaint pagoda]

Yes. It's different.

[hasty owl]

“blast...i...urgh”

or perhaps “you lack some of my worse traits”

[grand crystal]

hmmm

the 2nd one sounds nice

there we go

its done

[hasty owl]

i feel so influential

[surreal condor]

Another good one is "Charon... take me home"

[grand crystal]

ahh yea i had that one for a while

[hasty owl]

“well... done... boy”

[grand crystal]

i just love how logan did the line for it

[hasty owl]

my fave defeat quote is “let’s... do...this...again”

[grand crystal]

it was perfect

[hasty owl]

bonding 🥺

[quaint pagoda]

Dusa gives you the chance to get back all the ambrosia right?

[grand crystal]

honestly all post 10 clear death quotes are great

[hasty owl]

yep

[grand crystal]

yea

[quaint pagoda]

all of it?

[hasty owl]

yep

[grand crystal]

everything you gave her yea

[quaint pagoda]

ok good

[hasty owl]

it’s like 12 iirc

[surreal condor]

The second I heard that line the first thing that came to my mind was "take me hoooome, country roads, to the place I beloooong"

[hasty owl]

west tartarus

[grand crystal]

me over here scowling whenever someone asks about dusa giving back ambro since i feel like they want the resources for grinding -_-

[hasty owl]

lol

[surreal condor]

Mountain Olympus

[hasty owl]

i said yes bc it seemed like dusa was sad and i’m soft

charon’s boat... take me home

[quaint pagoda]

Is Dusa the only one that starts taking so many ambrosia for just one heart?

[quaint pagoda]

I do

[dusky wedge]

Yeah

Everyone else is one bottle one heart

[quaint pagoda]

Imagine if after giving Charon all the nectar he will actually agree to drive you using his boat and Hades will get so mad.

[hasty owl]

lol

[quaint pagoda]

That would have been cool.

[quaint pagoda]

thanks.

[hasty owl]

“ay thanks for the lift bro ima go kill my dad. text me next time you’re around ttyl”

[surreal condor]

Heh, I never bother giving him any more necter. Doubt he got anything I care about, not even interactions.

[quaint pagoda]

I mean like, completely skip Hades, just show him preparing in the arena and doing a shocked face while Charon is rowing you away.

[quaint pagoda]

Yeah from what another person said, he just tried to say thank you.

[grand crystal]

its cute tho hmph

charon tries his best

[surreal condor]

While we're on the subject of Charon, I'm trying to get his fight to do the mission Hermes gave me. But I never find that damn stash of robols

[dusky wedge]

Well, there are some surprises to be had with Charon, as with almost every character in the game

[quaint pagoda]

His best would be to give me a permanent discount.

Just make it 0.00001 , it would be a nice joke

[grand crystal]

its a 22% chance once per run i think

[surreal condor]

Damn, I used to get it all the time

[grand crystal]

so if its there but you skip it oh well

[quaint pagoda]

I fought him already , it was pretty fun but the run was doomed after that.

[dusky wedge]

It’s never there when you need it lol

[grand crystal]

the fight honestly isnt hard at all

its just free discounts

[surreal condor]

His attacks are fairly easy to dodge, but they do so much damage

[dusky wedge]

Not hard, just takes too long

[grand crystal]

lol me whos had a 30 second charon with rama once

he also almost softlocked me

he got stuck in the corner and it was free since he didnt do anything

but when i beat him he sat there

for like 30 seconds

and then he gave me the card

[dusky wedge]

Unless of you take it in Elysium, but then the discounts aren’t as good as on Tartarus

[quaint pagoda]

I already got 3 of the companions now, I'm pretty close to maxing all the characters. The only ones I never gave nectar to are the gods, ||I'll start giving them after I finish with the other ones. I already know what happens when you max a couple.||

[grand crystal]

i was really scared i got softlocked

[surreal condor]

You can take it somewhere other than elysium 0-o?

[grand crystal]

which 3 do you have??

you can fight charon at any mid shop

[surreal condor]

I only got the fight in elysium, like 4 times

[grand crystal]

just as long as his bag shows up

[quaint pagoda]

Dusa Meg and Skelly, I'm trying to unlock Than's lock heart but he just won't spawn in the house, I had a chance to fight him in Asphodel which would maybe have given me the chance to gift him the ambrosia in the house but I blew it, the enemies were hard.

[dusky wedge]

Yeah

[grand crystal]

rip

[surreal condor]

How do you unlock skellys thing? Does it have to do with the status?

[grand crystal]

sisyphus's is easy to get

same with dusa

[grand crystal]

you need to have him at the locked heart, get dialogue to kill him with maxed zag sword, do that

and i wont spoil what happens after

[quaint pagoda]

Last run I lost to him and didn't get to see Orpheus and Eurydice so I just burned myself to death in the Hydra arena and got a cool picture from it.

I got the full Demeter's aid and I used it while burning and while the Hydra's head was above me and it made a pretty cool picture.

If I could remove the HUD it would look awesome.

[surreal condor]

I would assume that he tells us who hired him (don't actually answer this), but I'm not sure. Although I don't know if I'm willing to invest all my titan blood for that, I don't have that much

[grand crystal]

its only 5 blood but yea, if youre short on blood its not worth it

[quaint pagoda]

He is a self starter and he's proud of it(not spoilers this is not true)

[grand crystal]

you have to wait until he gives you the dialogue anyway

[surreal condor]

Ah

Ok

[grand crystal]

skelly voice: "i would like to thank all of my patrons on patreon"

[quaint pagoda]

Yes

[surreal condor]

I thought it had to do with the statues that you unlock with heat levels

[grand crystal]

no the statues are just trophies for heat

nothing more

[surreal condor]

Good to know

[quaint pagoda]

You have a prophecy with a reward for finishing at least the 8 heat run

so

[grand crystal]

_>

[surreal condor]

Yeah

Hmmm, im trying to just do the "queen's plan" mission right now, because it seems so important

So just giving necter to gods

[grand crystal]

ah epilogue

yea you need at least 6 gods at forged bond

[surreal condor]

Ok

Btw, how do I forge a bond with dusa? I have her hearts at full and I did the lounge mission

[quaint pagoda]

I haven't given any nectar to the gods.. it's gonna take a while to finish that one.

[grand crystal]

time

[quaint pagoda]

Just talk to her

[grand crystal]

just time and luck

[surreal condor]

Ah

I see

So just keep on going

[quaint pagoda]

I also maxed sisyphus and I'm waiting for the contract to show up.

[surreal condor]

Man, I really need to give sisyphus more stuff, he's such a cool dude

One of the best characters

[grand crystal]

lmao

do you knwo his myth??

[quaint pagoda]

The man is a jerk

[surreal condor]

Kinda

I mean In the game he's a cool dude

He seems so nice and positive all the time

[carmine ravine]

he turned his attitude around after all the torture

[grand crystal]

i point you to #h1-story-discussion message

i posted it a bit ago

osp is a very good channel

[surreal condor]

What is that?

[grand crystal]

overly sarcastic productions, they do myth summaries and history stuff, the one i linked you to is the post where i put the sisyphus myth in the chat

[surreal condor]

Ah

That sounds interesting

I will check it out

Oh my

She talks at the speed of Hermes

[grand crystal]

and i watch at *2 speed since im impatient :3

[desert meadow]

OSP is great

They also do trope talks alongside what Plum mentioned

[hasty owl]

osp is hilarious

have you seen their apology video?

made me laugh like an idiot

[runic sparrow]

hmm

if I buy another light of ixion without the first one having been used yet, what happens?

do they somehow stack or something?

[grand crystal]

only one gets used i believe

thats how yarns and eury drink work

one gets used first

[runic sparrow]

... oh dear

do I dare go for double chaos boon? xD

[grand crystal]

i dont see hwy not

[runic sparrow]

at the same time

[timber tide]

yo

[runic sparrow]

👀

heck it, I'm feeling spicy

who knows, maybe the legendary will pop up

takes the ehg

dammit I forgot to turn off middle management

barge just ate two of my DDs after a than encounter sapped all my health

[grand crystal]

god i hate mm barge

power couple is soo much easier to deal with

i also find sneak the easiest tart mm boss

and like asterius is easy

[runic sparrow]

does Asterius change with MM?

I never noticed any change

[grand crystal]

i dont think so lol

[runic sparrow]

kek

[grand crystal]

very

do you think it would be more of a flex to do all aspects 32 heat or all weapons 40??

since ive done all weapons 32

and i wanna do some more heat shenanigans

[honest sundial]

Power couple on MM is the worst for me

after I started doing 32 heat with SD and FO1 and MM on the pact I got the Gorgon and the Doomstone like 5 times in a row and they killed almost every time

They feel just so bad especially with FO1

[runic sparrow]

there have been a lot of Orpheus memes going around recently

and I have zero idea whyt

[grand crystal]

orphy is funny

like

just look at him

and theres a line that eury says that he had a tan

and im like

👀

[runic sparrow]

not even Hades Orpheus

just... Orpheus in general

[grand crystal]

he died a poets death

torn limb from limb

[grand crystal]

LMAO

THATS REALLY FUNNY THO

OMFG

[runic sparrow]

I saw that and I"m like "God dammit that's hilarious and awful at the same time. xD"

[grand crystal]

yeaaa

its great

orphy is just funny

but like tbf hades orphy i love

i wanna see him with not spiky hair and a tan

[spare tiger]

I just saw a verge article that said Hades used to be "Minos" starring Theseus exploring the labyrinth of Minos

Dude that would be such an amazing DLC

[grand crystal]

the last thing i wanna do is play theseus ;w;

[spare tiger]

He'd suck as a protagonist but it would be fun

[runic sparrow]

I mean, it makes sense

that's basically the perfect roguelike setting

[spare tiger]

Hell has it's limits

[runic sparrow]

a labyrinth you fight your way through

[spare tiger]

Should i send the article?

[carmine ravine]

he wont suck as a protagonist

[runic sparrow]

he only sucks now because he's had to long to become smug AF

[grand crystal]

he'll be obnoxious and make me want to play the game just to see him die

over

and over

[spare tiger]

And over

[carmine ravine]

since its obvious playing an ashole is fun, take dante as an example

[spare tiger]

Dante's smug in the good way

[grand crystal]

dante is not the same 😔

[carmine ravine]

sure

[spare tiger]

Theseus is just kind of an ass

[runic sparrow]

yeah, Dante is smug because he KNOWS he's a badass

[grand crystal]

also at least dante has like, cool things like a hat weapon

[runic sparrow]

Theseus is smug because he THINKS he's a badass

[grand crystal]

theseus only has a boring spear

[spare tiger]

I was typing that exactly

[carmine ravine]

theseus is literally the king

[spare tiger]

Yeah but he's also got a shield

[runic sparrow]

I mean, Theseus gets to dual-wield stuff

AND has a god call of his own

Honestly, he's the closest thing to a mirror match we have

[grand crystal]

dante uses a literal motorcycle as a weapon idk what else could be more fun than that

[spare tiger]

Varatha and the shield as a combo would be fun

[carmine ravine]

you cant say theseus isnt badass when he already worked for that his whle life and earned it, just bcoz hes an ass to zag lol

[grand crystal]

what did he do really tho

[spare tiger]

Isn't royalty inherited by family?

What work did he have to do to become king?

[grand crystal]

he beat a malnourished abused minotar

[spare tiger]

If we have supergiant staff lurking

[grand crystal]

left ariadne on an island

[spare tiger]

Wink wink nudge nudge

[grand crystal]

like

[winter harbor]

I think theseus founded athens

[grand crystal]

theseus just wasnt cool

[winter harbor]

so he's royalty basically because he proclaimed it himself

[grand crystal]

which is kinda less cool ngl

since he instilled it

[carmine ravine]

athens isnt cool

[grand crystal]

lmao

[spare tiger]

The protagonist would suck but god damn would it be fun though

[grand crystal]

how would that even work in a roguelite aspect tho since like

[spare tiger]

The labyrinth of minos would fit in perfectly with Hades

[grand crystal]

you would be actually alive

[spare tiger]

Blessing of the gods?

[carmine ravine]

its will be humorous and fun, non self aware protagonists is the best

[grand crystal]

its not like gungeon where its technically a bunch of different timelines

or nuclear throne where its a different reality every time

wizard of legend its just not lethal :/

[winter harbor]

the original plan was to base hades around a labyrinth but they changed it during development

in slay the spire the whale resurrects you every time you die

[carmine ravine]

i mean its still technically a labyrinth

[runic sparrow]

hmm

idea on how it could work

Theseus is telling the tale of his journey through the labyrinth, and each run is a different retelling of it

with the upgrades being him adding more and more embellishments on top of everything

[spare tiger]

Good idea

[grand crystal]

lol that could work

[carmine ravine]

oh that sounds nice, like a tall tale

[runic sparrow]

yep

[spare tiger]

Out of curiosity did anybody pick up the physical release?

[carmine ravine]

there is probably a lot, i asked about that here awhile ago

[spare tiger]

Already had it on digital so i didnt

[runic sparrow]

also Jury Summons sucks to do without a good AoE build

[carmine ravine]

some people prefer to actually own the game

[spare tiger]

True

Lumin

[carmine ravine]

jury summons is like the last heat ill take

[spare tiger]

I remember seing an Artemis/Demeter themed build surrounding the rail

[grand crystal]

js is fine ngl

i take js and cp with td2 and im fine :/

[spare tiger]

It's always worked when i play rail

[brisk trail]

fun game

[quaint pagoda]

What is a trial in hades? I'm asking for the bad call achievement

[narrow hemlock]

trial of the gods

where you have to pick between boons

[quaint pagoda]

ohhh right

It sounds pretty hard to get

[spare tiger]

If you see a room with 2 boons

You've hit the jackpot

[grand crystal]

yea you generally get like 1-3 every run

at least i see 1-3 every run

[quaint pagoda]

I mean getting greater call

It requires a lot of enemies for that, maybe turning up the heat is required

[grand crystal]

oohh that

honestly depends on the weapon

its easier to get greater call with rail and fists

[quaint pagoda]

Why?

[grand crystal]

since getting calls is based off of hits

[quaint pagoda]

hmm alrighj

[grand crystal]

stuff like blade rifts, chiron, fists, rail

[quaint pagoda]

thanks

[grand crystal]

all very good at getting calls

yea np

[simple tulip]

aphro attack vs art attack as hestia? i've alwasy been going art but lately i've found no art attacks and having to go aphro attack and noticed it's really good as well. which one is better?

[grand crystal]

i personally prefer aphro but both are fine

[restive cave]

whats the strongest boon to put on your cast when using aspect of hera bow

[grand crystal]

aphro/arte are good options

zeus is good for crowd control

and pos is there if you wanna be funny

[restive cave]

so aphrodite on my cast or artemis on the cast

probably aphro right

[grand crystal]

id say aphro

oh and dio is also super good on it

depends on whatever you want tho

[restive cave]

ill try artemus crit on my attack with the aphro on my cast

[runic sparrow]

god dammit why do I resonate with Artemis so much?

[grand crystal]

cuz she's shy, independent, kinda socially awkward, and tbh one of the most morally upright olympians

[runic sparrow]

||https://i.imgur.com/sheLzEQ.png|| Pre-Epilogue spoilers

[grand crystal]

shes also cute so like :/

[runic sparrow]

by which I mean "You've triggered the start of it"

[grand crystal]

I FELT SO BAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED

[runic sparrow]

and yeah, Artemis is pretty cute

You ever go all-in on a stupid meme build because it's funny?

[grand crystal]

me with any posiedon build

its just a meme the second you get pos

[wild solar]

gotta say
Good Riddance being sung by the both of them is soothing as hell.

[grand crystal]

yeaaa, tbh tho i like the orphy version more :3

[runic sparrow]

honestly Poseidon call is nice on Lernie

[grand crystal]

yk i used to love pos call but now it feels so limp yk

[runic sparrow]

it's kind of awkward to use against single targets, honestly

or maybe I'm just bad and don't know how to use it

[hasty owl]

i keep running into walls and getting stuck and then the timer runs out :,)

[wild solar]

same

[hasty owl]

aphrodite has the best call imo

tonnes of damage, charm, and cool voice lines

[wild solar]

I love bosses' reaction to being charmed

[hasty owl]

lol when ||theseus|| goes “i am smitten!” it cracks me up every time

[wild solar]

charm hades.

[hasty owl]

i don’t think he says anything, it just staggers

[wild solar]

Charming the furies is

[hasty owl]

charm charon to give u a ride to the surface

i’ve never had aprho call that early before

what do they say?

[wild solar]

Meg is like

um what did she say

Something along the lines of "Nngh how dare you" iirc

Also:

[hasty owl]

big brain time: charm than to kill ur dad. then go on date in the garden

[wild solar]

using a god's greater call on their trial is funny

[hasty owl]

yes it’s so damn funny

[wild solar]

Artemis is just "How dare you"

I expected it to fail ngl

[hasty owl]

artemis best girl

[wild solar]

Artemis is amazing

That one line of

"I'll help you get up here, but then I'll probably forget you like the rest" just kinda made me sad

[hasty owl]

:(

lol when u give her gifts she acts so defensive

it’s hilarious

[wild solar]

IKR

She's like "ur sus"

[hasty owl]

and when you give ambrosia she talks about how she and callisto got hammered in the woods

amazing

[wild solar]

OMG LMAO

[hasty owl]

so much thought into this game

i love it

[wild solar]

I love Artemis sm

Yeah same

[hasty owl]

same

and her design is so good too

[wild solar]

Tho I'm a Dionysus simp, if I was straight I'd be Artemis simp

Yeessss

The designs are so goooddddd

[hasty owl]

me, a lesbian, a meg, and artemis, and athena, and aphrodite, and nyx simp: ._.

[wild solar]

me, a gay, simping for than and dionysus: ._.

[hasty owl]

zag b like^

[proper chasm]

Im straight and i still simp for dionysus

[brazen lagoon]

me, simping for everyone

[proper chasm]

The way he laughs, my heart

[wild solar]

tbh I wanna forge bonds with everyone but like I'm already dating than

[hasty owl]

very appropriate username

[brazen lagoon]

yee

[wild solar]

i don't wanna date meg/dusa

[hasty owl]

dw you can forge bonds and not take romance routes

[wild solar]

oh good

[proper chasm]

My first bond was chiron

[wild solar]

same

[proper chasm]

🙏

I thought it was clever, and cute

Ultimately it sas unsatisfying lmaoo

[hasty owl]

spoiler incoming: ||if you select ease off when given the opportunity you stay friends, and dusa is ace/aro so she turns you down||

[wild solar]

tysm Camomile for telling me that
I was worried

Ah okay

Tysmmmm

[hasty owl]

no worries :)

[wild solar]

I appreciate that

This community is so cool

[hasty owl]

agreed

oH WAIT I FORGOT

i’m also a eurydice simp

[wild solar]

tbh the fact that this game is casually gay just makes me happy ngl

[hasty owl]

same :D

[wild solar]

it's not shoehorned in there like a lot of games

which I can really appreciate

It's done very well

[brazen lagoon]

im straight but these men got me feelin some type of way ngl

[hasty owl]

lol

[wild solar]

I really enjoy this game, even if I'm bad at it

[hasty owl]

same

[wild solar]

xd

[hasty owl]

i didn’t turn off god mode until like my 150th run lmao

although i have gotten a lot better over time

[wild solar]

I never had it turned on

[proper chasm]

I went straight into hellmode

[wild solar]

Oh yah I've definitely gotten better

[proper chasm]

I didnt appreciate that

[hasty owl]

yeah i think im pretty decent now

[wild solar]

2 escapes in almost 130 attempts is kinda bad i think tho

[proper chasm]

And then i made a new save with it off, and was unsatisfied with how easy it felt

[hasty owl]

clearing mid heat reliably

nah dude

it’s only bad if you stop escaping

[proper chasm]

Thats really motivational

That was a gretsky tier quote

[hasty owl]

out of curiosity tho, what builds are you using? we gonna find a way to up your ratio 🚀

[proper chasm]

You miss 100% of the escapes you dont take

[hasty owl]

why thank you

attempt to escape, because even if you die, you’ll land in the pool of styx

-hypnos

[final trellis]

I have 1 clear and like 75 runs

[wild solar]

yeah see

[final trellis]

I had to turn on God mode for Hades

so now I'm trying to beat him without it

[hasty owl]

no shame in god mode, it was really helpful when i was still learning

[wild solar]

no shame in god mode at all

[brazen lagoon]

i'd like to think im pretty ok

[wild solar]

i'm just stubborn

[hasty owl]

if you’re working on the hades fight, try taking the evergreen acorn

it’s so helpful

[wild solar]

or the Broken SPearpoint

[final trellis]

no room for failure in his fight he cooks your ass if you get hit

[grand crystal]

i recommend acorn

[wild solar]

also: figure out where you can hide when he does lasers in his second form

[brazen lagoon]

~300 clears with 400+ attempts

[wild solar]

it's more helpful

[hasty owl]

yeah if you get unlucky with spin attacks you can go in with 300 health, 3 death defies, and still die easily

[final trellis]

you must have alot of hours

[brazen lagoon]

about 430

[hasty owl]

if you’re struggling with the lasers and getting hit a lot, try a shield aspect

i didn’t get the game on steam so i don’t know how many hours

but a lot

i finished making out everything important a few days ago

now i’m on the gem grind

[final trellis]

I just got the game a month ago so I'm a little slow to hoping in the Hades train but I have 50 hours and enjoying it a ton

[grand crystal]

yea like hugging him :3

[wild solar]

i like you guys

[hasty owl]

best interior design simulator:
hades> the sims

[wild solar]

[hasty owl]

i like you guy

y’all are nice

[wild solar]

really nice

[grand crystal]

[hasty owl]

hey plumfox

you guys plumfox is super nice too

helped me a lot with heat stuff :)

[final trellis]

I know I suck at Hades but as long as I'm having fun I don't care if I die 100+ times

[wild solar]

plumfox is rad

[wild solar]

this ^^^^

[hasty owl]

hell yeah

fun ftw

[wild solar]

accepted camomile

[hasty owl]

mm validation

[brazen lagoon]

i got the hang of it after my first couple clears
