[brisk trail]

I'm subbed to Courtney, too.

[high island]

You misspelled her name now, too!

[brisk trail]

divine strike actually is kind of cool, acts as a giant deflecting death circle when i throw the spin

[high island]

Yeah, it's really good.

[carmine ravine]

Thats what been said the whole time

[opaque radish]

Btw do the Skelly trinkets do anything?

Cause I'm close to getting first

[brisk trail]

His trinket or the ||statues||?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/371449798420594712/823074655387648000/Hades_Screenshot_2021.03.20_-_23.04.05.43.png

Er, the things in the weapon courtyard.

[opaque radish]

Not his keepsake

Yeah

[brisk trail]

Nope, bragging rights.

[high island]

Skelly's prizes make you invincible.

Or maybe they don't.

Find out!

[brisk trail]

[high island]

That doesn't look like a fair fight.

[brisk trail]

Just gotta get Deadly Flourish, now.

witch-b-gone

[opaque radish]

Well no wonder people can do 50 heat lol

[carmine ravine]

Skelly prizes improve ur rng, you get 90% more chance of getting a legendary hammer

[opaque radish]

I just finished 7 heat so

And I want to level all companions

Like basically 100 percent it without doing max heat

[brisk trail]

dude

i hate using M+KB on buffed lernie

i just died mostly from the lava

it's like i have to choose between taking 5 points from the lava or more from the lernie ground slam

[opaque radish]

Why would you even use k&m?

[brisk trail]

I prefer it to controller.

bc my controller is broken

Learning EM2 takes a good long while, but it can be done.

[opaque radish]

So are there any obscure secrets in the game? Like the stars for Braid? Or basically The Witness? Lol

[brisk trail]

At this point the only Lernie that really gives me trouble is Space Jam Lernie.

And not that I've seen or heard of myself.

[opaque radish]

Ah ok

Cause it feels like there are more references to weapon forms I'm not aware of

Like Hades mentioned one once

[carmine ravine]

Use hades spear vs hades

Bring chaos shield to chaos

Bring zeus shield to zeus

[opaque radish]

Don't think I've gotten to Hades with his spear but I'll do so

[brisk trail]

Artemis will also comment on Aspect of Achilles.

[carmine ravine]

Achilles will also comment on Aspect of Achilles

[opaque radish]

I don't have all relationships full yet either

[sleek grail]

theres lots of things that people comment on

turning up then down the heat will also prompt some voicelines

[brisk trail]

Hermes has lines for turning the on-screen timer on or off.

[opaque radish]

Lol

I used the greater call against Artemis

[sleek grail]

oh yea

[carmine ravine]

What she say

[sleek grail]

i think artemis says 'seriously?'

[opaque radish]

"What are you doing?"

[carmine ravine]

Now use hades keepsake vs hades

[sleek grail]

i did it against poseidon once and zag commented 'this is awkward'

[brisk trail]

...I know I should never take the Anvil.

I know that it's Amir's sadistic streak a mile wide that he's managed to pare down enough to look "safe."

And I still took it.

Traded Rockets for Hazard Bomb.

[sleek grail]

dodge your own bombs to exert dominance

[brisk trail]

Going into the Dad fight on 32 Heat.

[hollow hawk]

schpoon you can now submit your run for the monthly challenge!

if you have arty special, that is

[opaque radish]

Btw what's the monthly challenge?

[hollow hawk]

pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat

[brisk trail]

i have serrated point (dash strike hits x3) and artemis +82% dash strike boon

[carmine ravine]

I mean i likw hazard bomb, even on eris

[brisk trail]

this is insane

[opaque radish]

What's the soup du jour?

[hollow hawk]

masochist

[hollow hawk]

what

[carmine ravine]

Du jour soup

😋

Idk

[opaque radish]

It's a reference to Dumb n Dumber... Sad that nobody got it lol

[restive cave]

which boon should be applied to aspect of hestia's attack for the most possible damage that it can do?

i'm assuming i need arty and aphro i just dunno who should go where

[hollow hawk]

arty attack

aphro special

[opaque radish]

Hmm my guess is hydraulic might?

[hollow hawk]

heartrend

hydraulic might is a secondary boon, its decent on hestia but not necessary at all

also you wanna run fiery presence on hestia

also, battle rage is a good boon on hestia

[opaque radish]

Ooo

[brisk trail]

i don't think ares' attack would be too bad either if you're looking for consistency

[restive cave]

how about for daddylus hammer

[high island]

Deadly Strike has a higher top end for average damage. Heartbreak Strike has greater max damage if you can get crits with Pressure Points or Hunter's Mark.

[restive cave]

im just trying to see which ways i can smack EM4 dad the hardest

i beat him once using hera with zeus/dio

[high island]

Well, you'd want to prioritize Special hammers.

Similar to Eris.

[restive cave]

wouldnt aphro special nullify the fiery presence buff?

[high island]

Nullify it?

You'd just get the bonus damage on your Special if your Special hits first.

[restive cave]

oh i thought i wanted the bonus damage to be on my empowered reload shot

[high island]

Either way.

But, you can launch your Special and then hit your Empowered Shot long before your Special drops.

Empowered Shot will get the bonus damage from Fiery Presence, in that case.

Just whatever happens to do the first hit.

[open ember]

yeah so remembe how I earlier I bought Hades and was really enjoying it

well I kinda played it for 9 hours straight and beat it lmfao

[brisk trail]

Good.

[high island]

Congratulations.

You mean you defeated Hades once?

[open ember]

yeah

first time

[opaque radish]

In 9 hours?

[open ember]

no like i played it nonstop for 9 hours

i died many times lol

[opaque radish]

Ah okay lol

I was like I got out of Tartarus the first time in 9 hours

[open ember]

my actual run took 50 minutes but i was afk for like 15 mins

wow

[opaque radish]

Yeah dude, I can't do the marathon gaming days like I used to

But I've been up at 3 am playing Hades

[open ember]

good use of time

[high island]

Nice. Now beat him again.

[open ember]

ima go to bed

[opaque radish]

There is -so- much to this game

[open ember]

how much content is there after beating it the first time?

[opaque radish]

I have I think now 180 hours into it and I'm still unlocking stuff

[silk river]

A lot

I'm 337 hours in and I still love the game

[open ember]

holy wow

[silk river]

I already unlocked everything multiple times though

[open ember]

sorry bot 😐

[high island]

First win is like congrats on beating the tutorial kind of?

[brisk trail]

I feel like the game gets a lot better after you beat it for the first time

[opaque radish]

Yeah first win is "yay you did it"

[open ember]

is it like gungeon where u unlock a extra level

[high island]

I have something over 800 hours in the game now.

You unlock difficulty modifiers that allow you to get more bounties to upgrade your aspects and stuff.

But you'll see that when you pick the game back up tomorrow or whenever.

[open ember]

yeye

im excited cuz i did this run with garbage (least from my experience) boons so wanna see how it goes with some actually decent gear and such

[high island]

m still learning about better builds every day.

[silk river]

The key to a great build is balance though

[high island]

Balance?

[silk river]

Specifically balance between the ideal build, and acceptable substitutions

If you have the strongest build ever it doesn't matter if the chance of getting it is like 1/10,000 runs

[hollow hawk]

well, the optimal eris build is pretty great even though the chance of getting it is like 5%

[opaque radish]

The first time I got out of Tartarus I was sad that I didn't start from Asphodel and a friend of mine was like "don't worry you're not going to care later"

[hollow hawk]

the build being cluster rockets, purple rd, and natural poseidon in tart

[opaque radish]

Cluster rockets is just dumb fun

[hollow hawk]

and dumb strong

[opaque radish]

I still have to get used to coronacht though

Just not very used to how you have to play it

[restive cave]

damn getting the satyr sack on the first door feels bad

[quartz garden]

oh that’s possible? I am 150 hours in now and I started believing it‘s never earlier than the second door

now I will feel unlucky every time it’s not in the first chamber 😄
are the chances listed somewhere?

Edit: typo

[granite ether]

it's not possible to get the saytr sack on the first tunnel

(outside of glitches and maybe mods)

[silk river]

Hey say I got a magic dmg boon on my attack, does chaos' buffs make it deal extra dmg?

[brisk trail]

Magic damage boon?

Like Doom, Hangover, or Lightning?

[silk river]

Yeah

[brisk trail]

No.

[silk river]

The ones that don't traditionally scale.

Aw

[brisk trail]

Only increases the damage the attack itself inflicts.

Yeah, a bit of a bummer.

I remember at one point Chaos Shot (Cast damage up) boosted the lightning from Scintillating Feast.

But that was a long time ago.

[bronze flint]

Glad I finally found a hades discord I never had people to talk to

I know this is off topic but

Watch the whole thing

[carmine ravine]

No

[bronze flint]

?

Wdym

Imma speed run a poki discord server ban

[silk river]

A what?

[bronze flint]

Loki mane has a discord server

Poki

Poki mane

[acoustic quartz]

guys why does hypnos bond take so long to max

[bronze flint]

Idk

[vapid narwhal]

R N G

[acoustic quartz]

is there a way to make thanatos and hypnos talk more

[bronze flint]

Idk don’t do that stuff

[acoustic quartz]

i hate how i maxed every single olympian except for demeter before hypnos

[brazen lagoon]

Hypnos just requires a ton of dialogue

[vapid narwhal]

there is nothing you can do other than do more runs and hope they show up more

it's RNG

[acoustic quartz]

man..................

time to grind more i guess

[bronze flint]

Skelly did give you a companion but it was a waste of titan blood

[acoustic quartz]

also do you guys have any theme recommendations from house contractor

[brazen lagoon]

Woodlands

[carmine ravine]

Infinity

[brazen lagoon]

Easily the best one

[bronze flint]

Spooky

Oh wait

[carmine ravine]

Infinity better with them spooky eyes and galaxy

[bronze flint]

Yeah

[acoustic quartz]

infinity super expensive tho

[brazen lagoon]

Woodlands better because green and artemis

[acoustic quartz]

ok i hear artemis

will buy woodlands

[brazen lagoon]

Yes

[carmine ravine]

Theres not rly artemis but yeah

[bronze flint]

Yes

[brazen lagoon]

Artemis themed

[acoustic quartz]

i would save up for infinity but like

[brazen lagoon]

I'll take what I can get

[carmine ravine]

No woodlands is demeter

[acoustic quartz]

i spend the darkness for the titles lmao

[brazen lagoon]

Infinity do be pricey

[bronze flint]

We need this server more active

[brazen lagoon]

It is active broski

[acoustic quartz]

its active?

[carmine ravine]

Go to #off-topic-discussion @bronze flint

[bronze flint]

It’s a ghost town I swear

[brazen lagoon]

You've been here like 10 minutes

[acoustic quartz]

do you expect like

a new message in every channel every second?

[brazen lagoon]

And besides it's pretty late for na folks

[bronze flint]

Last message in general discussion was 3 hrs ago

True tho

[brazen lagoon]

Gen discussion isn't too active from what I've seen

[bronze flint]

It is late for me

Yeah

[manic moat]

people usually dont use general

it's mostly the hades channels like discussion builds and combat and high heat strats

[bronze flint]

Just do it all in one server

[brazen lagoon]

Wdym

This is the server

[bronze flint]

Or chat I mean

[brazen lagoon]

Why?

[bronze flint]

Whoops

[silk river]

no

[acoustic quartz]

?

[brazen lagoon]

Chats are split for a reason

[bronze flint]

It would feel more active

[acoustic quartz]

but

organization

[brazen lagoon]

A new player wouldn't want to see people talking about high heat strategies

[bronze flint]

There’s so many tho that nobody uses

[acoustic quartz]

?

[manic moat]

it's already pretty active dude

[silk river]

Hey Sledgebear, how do you know?

[acoustic quartz]

every hades channel is used quite a lot lmao

[silk river]

You've been here for how long?

[brazen lagoon]

You have been here 10 minutes my guy

[twin moat]

I just found out about the existence of the hammer chain shot on ||rama's aspect||

My life has changed forever

[bronze flint]

Lol

[brazen lagoon]

Chain rama do be crazy

[twin moat]

[bronze flint]

Gtg

[acoustic quartz]

i really should use rama more

i keep using chiron bow

[hollow hawk]

chain rama is overrated

[bronze flint]

I’m tired and it’s 3:00 for me

[hollow hawk]

id much rather have perfect or point blank

or twin

or triple

[brazen lagoon]

You are overrated smh my head

[acoustic quartz]

never got perfect ever 😔

[brisk trail]

Well, yeah, Point-Blank Triple is the optimal set-up.

[hollow hawk]

chain only hits three enemies if theyre literally grouped together

at which point your main shot is gonna hit them anyway

also, shared suffering will kill most of the room anyway

[gray apex]

What Paper said

[bright comet]

is it just random whether the dialogue on accepting boon is gonna happen or not?

for the sake of unlocking affinity

like i caught a fish and accepted poseidons message but nothing happened

or it has to be another instance of a run?

like i got him to a locked heart earlier in the same run

[carmine ravine]

Another instance

[void vigil]

If you just got him to the locked heart in the same run you’ll have to do another run in order to unlock it, I believe

[bright comet]

yea that makes sense cuz i noticed u cant give nectar twice to the same god in an instance

[brisk trail]

Got to Styx

[twin moat]

Ok

||extreme measures hades is way harder than I ever thought||

[acoustic quartz]

i havent tried it but seeing footage of EM4 is already making me scared lmao

[twin moat]

I went in like

How hard can it be

[acoustic quartz]

then boom

[twin moat]

||Then he pulled the achilles aspect and started summoning mini bosses and I was like ?!?!?||

[acoustic quartz]

lmao

you just die

[twin moat]

Yeah, I died 😔

[gray apex]

rip

[twin moat]

I'll get him this time

Damn my build is looking spicy, I feel confident

[oblique sun]

Speaking of poseidon lock

Is dialogue only triggered on first boon, charon and duo? Cuz one time I got poseidon, then fished, then got another boon but he didn'didn't talk

[acoustic quartz]

i think its first boon only

cuz that happened to me too

[twin moat]

Oh god

I got thru the first 2 phases of em4 without dying yet

I'm confident but scared

I won

[gray apex]

grats

[twin moat]

Tyy

[gray apex]

Now do it with meme beam

[twin moat]

I never used that boon actually

[acoustic quartz]

meme beam pog

you should only get crystal beam if youre going for a deme + arty build imo

[twin moat]

Yeahh, I saw a build using that

[brisk trail]

the double cast is insane if you can get that duo as well

[manic moat]

yo fr tho, what if you did meme beam but it's actually demeter attack lucifer

[brisk trail]

i do not like the 'beam locks on you' duo at all though for it

[manic moat]

yea it's really bad

[brisk trail]

yeah even with the extra 30% cast damage i dont find it worth it

while the double cast one gives you not only an extra 30% but as well as apply double the chill stacks

and if you have them explode at 10 it becomes a death machine

[pseudo rose]

Dunno if this has been posted

Congrats to the team!

[oblique sun]

yay

[brisk trail]

nice

[oblique sun]

it deserves

[amber kraken]

Important question:
Is there confetti on my 100th escape attempts?

[half zephyr]

you get noticed by Hypnos?

[oblique sun]

well, you get a special title i think

yeah

[amber kraken]

I mean 100th attempt not 100th clear

[oblique sun]

oh

i do not know about that but i don't think there is

i mean you can bring some for yourself

or we here on discord can give you 🎊 and 🎉

[half zephyr]

see my reply then

[amber kraken]

I did

[half zephyr]

and ye, we can give you some

[oblique sun]

i definitely would

[half zephyr]

I can shower you in Hype if you want

[amber kraken]

I was asking out of curiosity. Im still like halfway there to a 100

[half zephyr]

I can still shower you in Hype if you want

[amber kraken]

xD

[oblique sun]

I can only shower you in emotes and 🎉 confetti sorry

[half zephyr]

[amber kraken]

[oblique sun]

yay hype for your 50th escape attempt

[brisk trail]

i wonder if theres anything for not letting than get a single kill in one of his contests

i got so close

i think he only got 3 this time

[oblique sun]

there is

a title

[fringe elbow]

https://imgur.com/7cjsqYW

choice overload

[oblique sun]

chaos

lul

[half zephyr]

I like Master Chaos

[oblique sun]

ya

[rapid agate]

hey what if i said

chaos every room

[half zephyr]

feels that would require some modding

[oblique sun]

you can't go to chaos from chaos

although at one point i had 4 curses at once and 1 blessing from chaos as i entered asphodel i think? or maybe somewhere in asphodel

[half zephyr]

heh

fun

[oblique sun]

sure is

i had no cast or special but that's okay because i was on fist where i mostl just attack

[half zephyr]

I remember when I forgot to pay attention to my rooms

and got trap curse right before tart boss fight & then ended up w alecto

and onto asphodel I went

[oblique sun]

okay actually it's 3 curses and 1 blessing oops

oh no how much damage did you take from lava

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/459790522706558976/820269704509259797/unknown.png

[half zephyr]

amazingly none, cuz I was so paranoid about taking dmg I actually managed to avoid standing in it

[oblique sun]

yay

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/459790522706558976/820275296648953876/unknown.png

same run^

[rancid arrow]

i think i once took the chaos attack and special curse... forgetting the chamber count and I ended up fighting Meg with no attack and special

[half zephyr]

lol

[oblique sun]

oh boy

sounds f u n

[half zephyr]

I forgot I had JS2 on when I took +67% enemies

good thing I didn't have TD on that run

I was not prepared for that many enemies at once

[oblique sun]

if i take TD i never take JS unless i'm really high heat TwT

[half zephyr]

especially since I also had BP on

[oblique sun]

BP can be annoying when you get like 50 armored numbskulls

[high island]

More enemies is the worst curse.

[half zephyr]

at least it wasn't BP2 that time

Idk why I did JS2

I can't remember

[high island]

I'd rather take 4 damage on my primary attack and play with 1 HP.

[half zephyr]

I needed a setup for 10 or 11 heat I think

[oblique sun]

no hit time

[half zephyr]

and just wanted to try something new

[oblique sun]

i always have EM4 on so i always have 10 heat :p

[half zephyr]

I don't wanna do em4

[oblique sun]

and now for some reason i always have EM4 FO2 on

[half zephyr]

I don't wanna lose my streak

[oblique sun]

that's okay

[half zephyr]

it's over 50 now!

[oblique sun]

especially if you've never done it before, you're probably gonna die to it on your first time

[brisk trail]

i finally beat em2

[half zephyr]

woo

[oblique sun]

yay

[half zephyr]

[brisk trail]

im not kidding dude dodging into the lava is so hard not to do on m+kb

[oblique sun]

just tank and then hope for patroclus

[half zephyr]

ah, I just forget there's lava tbh

[oblique sun]

try to not dodge, like

when dashing

just go left and right

[half zephyr]

I dash straight into it

[oblique sun]

instead of one direction?

[brisk trail]

just try and get the i frame?

[oblique sun]

at least, when using melee

or the dash strike

either of them

[half zephyr]

I end up dashing straight into the lava to strike at Lernie & then dash out again

[oblique sun]

if i wanna dash through lava, i only do it near it. like near the edge of the platform

[half zephyr]

me against EM2 on anything but Arthur is just chaos

they must be so proud of me

[rancid arrow]

i'm horrible with arthur

[brisk trail]

I got lucky and got a heroic poseiden special on zag rail, paired with the rocket

[half zephyr]

but Arthur is the easiest to have against EM2

the sigil makes it so you can stand on the lava

it disables ground traps

[rancid arrow]

oh wow i did not know this

[brisk trail]

dude this special combo one shots chariots

[rancid arrow]

ill be honest i bullheaded my way through high heats with Nemesis sword

they can't get me if i get them first

[distant quiver]

Why does Zag sometimes yell out "Over there!..." right after clearing an Encounter?

[oblique sun]

i'd assume he saw the boon

[distant quiver]

maybe so

[half zephyr]

boon, fishing spot, interesting architecture

¯_(ツ)_/¯

maybe he just likes to shout

[oblique sun]

i just wouldn't really think of the last one as soon as i kill someone

fishing spot, he has different lines for it that usually only activate after a while of not finding it-

[brisk trail]

EM 3 attempt 1 here we go

[half zephyr]

have fun!

and pay attention to Theseus' laugh

it's the best part of EM3

[brisk trail]

that was a little terrifying

but

i got it

i did have to use a dd though

i got a little greedy when i saw asterious at like 2%

[oblique sun]

it's totally okay to use a DD on EM3 even if you're used to it

[brisk trail]

well i suppose having level 4 heroic tempest flourish with rocket bomb paired with razor shoals and wave pounding isnt typical either

[half zephyr]

too bad you don't have sea storm on top of that

[brisk trail]

stubborn roots obtained

gg

man i have like 20 ambrosia but no nectar

i don't know how long getting to this epilogue will take

[oblique sun]

ambrosia will go out really quick once you get to that point

how many clears do you have rn?-

[brisk trail]

i think 27

[oblique sun]

i finished around 35-40 i think

and that's pretty late

because olympian gods were the last that i gave nectar to/made bonds with, i focused on others of note first then chthonic

[brisk trail]

so far i've given 1 to dusa, meg and than

so i spent much of my ambrosia buying titansblood and its just now that i had checked what its used for primarily, i'd say i used about 10 - 15 ambrosia getting blood, will that hinder me much in progression or is that fine ?

[rapid agate]

wait you need to give ambrosia to everyone in order to get epilogue? lmao

that's gonna take centuries

[brisk trail]

i think you'll probably be fine

as long as you fish by dad battle whenever possible

[amber kraken]

I hate the gun but I love the aspect of Lucifer

[brisk trail]

hope so, thanks

[oblique sun]

no?-

you can't even give ambrosia to everyone without epilogue

you just need it with olympians

[rapid agate]

oh good

[oblique sun]

and maybe mom, not sure about mom

[rapid agate]

that's still like...7 or 8? ambrosia

[oblique sun]

you need 6 bonds with olympians, except demeter

[rapid agate]

can't recall the exact number my bad

[oblique sun]

demeter lock is enough

there's 8 olympians yeah

but hermes takes 2

[rapid agate]

damn

anyway @oblique sun thanks for always being helpful

[oblique sun]

thanks ^^

[brisk trail]

25 ambrosia, 1 nectar

oh boy

[vivid dagger]

Hi, hi! I have a super quick question, does anyone know if I have to beat Extreme Measures Theseus more than once to unlock Poseidon's comment about it??

[half zephyr]

you can always trade for more nectar if you really really need it

[oblique sun]

i don't think any win is required, you just have to get lucky with poseidon's comment, but i'm not entirely sure on that

[half zephyr]

and you think it's worth it

[oblique sun]

yeah usually after you unlock all mirror talents and all weapons you just dump all your keys into nectar

[half zephyr]

you have to beat him for the prohpecy, don't you?

[brisk trail]

is the 5 keys for 1 nectar really worth it

[oblique sun]

yeah because you don't use keys for anything else anymore

[oblique sun]

nono they're asking for getting the prophecy

[brisk trail]

i suppose not

[half zephyr]

after you get all weapons & unlock all the mirror stuff you only need keys for cosmetics

[brisk trail]

there we are, 10 nectar

[oblique sun]

and also keys give 1 Fated so i almost always pick them above gems and darkness on my runs

[half zephyr]

you sure?

[oblique sun]

oh wow you really had 50+ keys?

[brisk trail]

46 keys remain for now

[vivid dagger]

I got the prophecy, I'm trying to fulfill it and boy, Theseus is annoyingly difficult

[brisk trail]

oh yeah i had like 100

[oblique sun]

oh huh you're right shadow i'm not sure-

yeah okay then it's not, my bad

[half zephyr]

he comments after you beat theseus

[oblique sun]

you only need to beat it once to fulfill the prophecy

[half zephyr]

I had to beat him twice, but that was prolly just rng on my part

but I like EM3, so it was no biggie

it was only the first time that was scary

[oblique sun]

yeah i'm still fairly sure it's only once

but i do like em3 too, much easier without theseus' shield

[half zephyr]

everything always boils down to rng

[vivid dagger]

So I just have to keep finding Poseidon until he talks about it, hopefully! Cuz he's giving me nothing 😂

[half zephyr]

EM3 theseus is easier to beat then regular theseus tho

[oblique sun]

once you get used to him

[half zephyr]

he doesn't have a shield & follows a set pattern of driving around the arena

only crossing once in a while

[oblique sun]

it's mostly just asterius that can be annoying, and you should just keep as much distance as you can from asterius and you'll be okay

[vivid dagger]

Oh wait, I meant Asterius, LOOOOOL

Theseus is annoying, period. But his pattern is easy, I agree with that.

[half zephyr]

ye, Asterius turning into Beyblade is a bit annoying, but still easily dealt with

[vivid dagger]

Asterius in the other hand

[oblique sun]

yeah just stay far away from him, when he finishes an attack dash in to get some attacks and then dash out because he deals massive AoE damage

or if you're ranged, don't even dash in lol

just keep dashing away

[half zephyr]

Asterius has a flaw in that he telegraphs all his moves

[oblique sun]

and sniping

[half zephyr]

so you can just see what he's gonna do before he does it

[oblique sun]

is that really considered a flaw?- you mean a flaw in his fighting style lol- game-dev wise it sounds like the opposite of a flaw

[half zephyr]

I wasn't talking about game dev at all

I meant ASTERIUS has a flaw

[oblique sun]

oki so yeah fighting style flaw lol

[half zephyr]

like THESEUS has a flaw with him being himself

[vivid dagger]

AHAHAHAHA

Theseus' problem is being Theseus. Love it

[oblique sun]

yeahh it basically boils down to that really lmao

[half zephyr]

mhmmm

so, once you start to get the hang of Asterius' flaw, it starts getting easier

he's much more difficult to deal with in the miniboss room on EM3 imo

if he starts spinning there you have less room to avoid it

[oblique sun]

yeah arena is tight but once you're out of the spin zone then you should be safe

[half zephyr]

mhmm

and you can really just ignore Theseus

listen to him laugh

[oblique sun]

and other than his flaw of showing his next attack, you also get used to how long it takes for him to start a new attack so you just learn when to run away anyways

[half zephyr]

mhmmm

[oblique sun]

i actually deal with theseus first since he's easier and has like really little HP

plus if i keep following theseus his bombs never hit me

[half zephyr]

so EM3 really makes it easier

[half zephyr]

I just can't

I live for his laugh

[oblique sun]

just play it on loop in youtube or smoething in the background

[half zephyr]

[oblique sun]

cute cat

[vivid dagger]

I live for beating Theseus first just because he's so. freaking. annoying.

[half zephyr]

I love Theseus

but I love because he's so annoying & full of himself

it's like a 1 man comedy show

cuz you know he's gonna fail

and that he keeps failing

[oblique sun]

lol

[half zephyr]

it's like

the black knight

from monty python holy grail

[vivid dagger]

I love to hate him, like…pal, I don't actually want to beat you. No, I won't make your friend turn against you. No, I'm not interested in what you have to say, just let me through, you himbo

[half zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-im-invincible-gif-3412315

[oblique sun]

lmao

tis but a scratch

[vivid dagger]

AHAHAHA

[half zephyr]

guh

[oblique sun]

uh oh

[half zephyr]

it's a gif, not a link

[oblique sun]

lol can they increase it to like 3 for the warning

you post gifs by posting links that's how /tenor works >w>

[half zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-holy-grail-black-knight-ill-bite-your-legs-off-gif-4559278

[oblique sun]

how you have a helmet on, sir

[half zephyr]

cuz he's got no arms or legs

that's the only thing he can do

but it's just the best ending

"Let's call it a draw then"

[unborn remnant]

hello all!

[half zephyr]

but ye, Theseus is just an angry kitten getting carried around by babysitter Asterius

and his attitude is that of the Black Knight from Holy Grail

[oblique sun]

helo lyte

[half zephyr]

[vivid dagger]

I'm ugly laughing at your summary, Shadow, it's so accurate

Hi, lyte!

[half zephyr]

[vivid dagger]

Thank you for the help, peeps! If I still don't get Poseidon to talk to me about beating EM Theseus, i'll slowly work my way through the heat

[half zephyr]

good luck

[oblique sun]

you should try to get used to em3 it's fun

but if you don't that's okay, to each their own

[half zephyr]

I'm gonna face reality & watch shudder man of steel again

[oblique sun]

iron man or superman?

[rancid arrow]

em3 asterius is just wow

[half zephyr]

...

it's the literal title of the movie

[oblique sun]

em3 asterius is just "beyblade, let it rip"

[oblique sun]

i know :p

[half zephyr]

well, excuse me while I go torture myself

[unborn ermine]

Technically, steel is different from iron

However, Man of Steel could mean you are watching a Stalin Biopic or the Iron Giant

[unborn remnant]

Id reply to all 3 of you at once

[oblique sun]

good luck shadow

[unborn remnant]

but I cant do that

[half zephyr]

ty, I will need it

[unborn remnant]

so just know I said thank you to you 3 that responded

:)

[oblique sun]

just use quotes

[unborn remnant]

3 of them?

[oblique sun]

hello lyte
:ia_hi:
Hi, lyte!
"Hey everyone!"

[unborn remnant]

Thats a chat clog tho

[oblique sun]

like that uwu

[unborn remnant]

but then that spams the chat

people would be mad

@oblique sun you can quote multiple at once?

[oblique sun]

auto-quoting a post was removed when replies were added, but you can still manually quote whatever you'd like

like this

it's like bold italic underline and the such, it's a formatting, by using >(space) at the start of a line

this won't work because there's no space

[unborn remnant]

thank you for this information ataino

much obliged :)

[oblique sun]

you're welcome i'm just here to help

[unborn remnant]

hows everyone doing on this fine sunday

[oblique sun]

i am fine but i haven't done anything productive this break and tomorrow school resumes

although maybe let's go to #off-topic-discussion

[unborn remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/avatar-the-last-airbender-zuko-thats-rough-buddy-thats-rough-gif-4264932

[oblique sun]

zuko!!!

i mean

"my girlfriend turned into the moon......"

[brazen lagoon]

I have yet to watch avatar

Should really get around to that

[oblique sun]

you should

do it b

[brazen lagoon]

I've heard great things about it

[oblique sun]

it's probably the singular best cartoon from western media

so good that people call it an aanime

even the fillers are fun because they really make the storybuilding and the um, like, you really feel in that world, worldbuilding that's what i was looking for, it's not that long, it's fun, interesting and never gets boring with quite the life lessons from time to time, lots of good jokes and humor, and- i shouldn't ramble on the wrong channel lol

[half zephyr]

it's a show that's good wether you're a kid or an adult - it's just got a compelling story & great worldbuilding

even the filler episodes are fun..

They legit have the best recap episode I've ever seen

[brazen lagoon]

I will definitely check it out

[oblique sun]

"I've had a pretty good look at you."

[half zephyr]

[half zephyr]

shush

[oblique sun]

sowwy

[unborn remnant]

idk about this but for sure the best on nick

[oblique sun]

from that time*

forgot to add this

gravity falls and the such also rivals it but ATLA is old

i think

[brazen lagoon]

Avatar do be old I'm pretty sure

2000s era cartoons

[oblique sun]

GF is 2015? i thin

k

[brazen lagoon]

More of an adventure time fan myself if you couldn't tell already

[unborn remnant]

yeah 2000s

[oblique sun]

yeah, marcy is a good waifu

[brazen lagoon]

True

[oblique sun]

i watched AT and ATLA both during last year's pandemic lockdown

and SU i think lol i just went ham with the cartoons

wAit that's off topic discussion sorry

[half zephyr]

ok

now it's gone on long in here XD

let's bring it back to hades

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVZWP1t9ROI

[rustic oasis]

what

WHAT

[half zephyr]

it's nothing as serious as the title makes it sound like

[rustic oasis]

oh

[half zephyr]

it's a very click bait title

[rustic oasis]

shame

[half zephyr]

was still fun to watch

[unborn remnant]

its a hypothetical

but yeah it would be cool

[hollow hawk]

i dont want a hades tv show

atleast not based on the game itself

greek mythology, sure

[brisk trail]

Like a percy jackson type deal?

[unborn remnant]

i miss those books

i feel like a good portion of this games fans read those growing up

[brisk trail]

^^Theres new series of the books, just new main characters

[brazen lagoon]

Trials of apollo ended a while back

Still haven't read the final book tho

[compact furnace]

I have the physical version of the game for switch. It requires me to enter a code on https://supergiant.games/hadescode, but it generates an error page.

How can I get the flag or mp3 versions as promised?

[brazen lagoon]

Might wanna check out #h1-tech-support for that

[brisk trail]

^^

[unborn remnant]

Is it new mythologies? Or the same one with different characters?

[compact furnace]

I just click on this version and my link works good... 🤔

[brisk trail]

I think same with diff characters

[rapid agate]

imagine hades but it's norse mythology

[brisk trail]

Currently in hypnos cosplay and my grandmother asked if i needed to go to the hospital bc im painted blue and wearing a wig cap.

[rapid agate]

lmao

i mean hypnos is like paler than pale

[brisk trail]

Bald hypnos

Yea

[gaunt ridge]

Hard Labor oof

that was painful

[brisk trail]

Oof

Yes i did ruin three wigs trying to make the hair for Hypnos correctly.

[oblique sun]

did it turn out good tho?

if so then it was absolutely owrth it

[brisk trail]

Yea on the fourth try

[unborn remnant]

Hypnos is a character

idk why everyone thinks hes goated

hes alright

[brisk trail]

Hes my top three favorite

[ornate dragon]

Hypnos is sarcastic

[brisk trail]

Thats why i like him

[ornate dragon]

I don’t like him

He’s annoying and chatty

He doesn’t have to react to every run I have

[craggy barn]

no image perms? just spam emojis

[brazen lagoon]

5head

[ornate dragon]

Is that spamV

?

[brisk trail]

yea thats spam

[ornate dragon]

Damn my fault mods

[brazen lagoon]

I think hypnos is fine

Not the best, not the worst either

Strong 7/10

[brisk trail]

^

[ornate dragon]

I agree with that

Hades

Archilles

The goth emo dude

The dude that’s in prison

[craggy barn]

goth death bf

[brisk trail]

Aphrodite and Thanatos are my 10/10’s 😀

Thanatis? Huh.

[ornate dragon]

The dude that you have to sacrifice life

[brazen lagoon]

Artemis, dusa, meg are mine

[ornate dragon]

To get boon

The speedy wing dude

The purple drank dude

[craggy barn]

why are you listing all these characters

[ornate dragon]

Better than sleepy dude that makes fun of every run

[brisk trail]

Goth mom

[half zephyr]

Hypnos is great

he's my best friend

[craggy barn]

you seem like you really hate hypnos

[brazen lagoon]

Goth mom is cool but imma have to take a few points off for the whole dusa fiasco

[half zephyr]

[ornate dragon]

Hypnos is better than diss

Dusa

She’s annoying

[brazen lagoon]

Wow

[half zephyr]

Dusa is my platonic soul mate

[brazen lagoon]

Dusa slander shaking my smh head

[half zephyr]

I love her

[craggy barn]

imagine hating hypnos

smhsmh

[ornate dragon]

Imagine not thinking hades is the best character

[half zephyr]

Hades is def amazing - one of my fave gods in general

[brazen lagoon]

Because he isn't smh smh my head

[brisk trail]

I have all hearts for hypnos

Honestly i have all hearts for Cerberus. Cerberus best boy

[brazen lagoon]

Oh wait I forgot

Dog is also 10/10

First bond was with dog

[brisk trail]

Same

[ornate dragon]

Dog is 100/10

Doggo

[half zephyr]

it's a polytheistic religion - you can love so many

[ornate dragon]

I didn’t even know how gifts worked

[brisk trail]

I have all hearts for Thanatos, Meg and Dusa 😀

[ornate dragon]

I just gave dog a gift first

[half zephyr]

idk who my first bond was with

[ornate dragon]

How long does this game go on for

[half zephyr]

charon maybe

[brazen lagoon]

I have hearts with all of the characters

[ornate dragon]

I started playing a month ago

[brazen lagoon]

Maxed hearts I should say

[ornate dragon]

And I’m still not finished

[half zephyr]

depends on you

[ornate dragon]

There’s so much to do

[brazen lagoon]

It depends on your pacing

[ornate dragon]

I wanna unlock everything

100%

6months?

[craggy barn]

roguelikes aren't typically the games you go on to 100%

[half zephyr]

that's gonna take a while

[ornate dragon]

True

[craggy barn]

and assuming you're aiming for absolutely EVERYTHING there is to get in hades it's going to take months of farming darkness

[ornate dragon]

Especially with the 64 run

[brisk trail]

I got Persephone back and now im working on getting Nyx to see Chaos again

[craggy barn]

don't even bother aiming for 64

[ornate dragon]

Yes man

[half zephyr]

especially when you have to max resource director

[craggy barn]

[half zephyr]

[ornate dragon]

I might be playing for 1 year

Until I unlock every

I don’t mind

[half zephyr]

aah, hell mode

[brisk trail]

Ive been playing since December 🕺

Idk how to count

[ornate dragon]

No wonder why there’s no dlc

This game is jam packed

[craggy barn]

i mean if you have a good sense of dedication then go for it but 64 heat is quite far off - you need tons of careful planning and knowledge to even actually get a 64 heat clear screen yourself

[ornate dragon]

If I ever get bored I might go back to hear the voice lines and story

[half zephyr]

and you need to be on hell mode

[ornate dragon]

I still haven’t heard any of it

[ornate dragon]

I’m aiming 20 on every weapon

That’s the max right?

[oblique sun]

for bounties, yeah

[craggy barn]

going for absolutely everything you can accomplish in hades means getting the "Unseen One" badge and 64 heat on all aspects

[ornate dragon]

Damn

[craggy barn]

[oblique sun]

i wonder when the first 64 heat will be beaten

[brisk trail]

What is your favorite weapon in the game though?

[ornate dragon]

That’s a badge

[ornate dragon]

It already has

[brazen lagoon]

Technically it has already

[ornate dragon]

Fists

[brazen lagoon]

Although it was routed

[ornate dragon]

What does that mean

[brazen lagoon]

So there hasn't been an unseeded one just yet

[craggy barn]

i wonder if anyone is ever gonna clear unseeded 64 heat

[ornate dragon]

Merciful end fists the best build

[brazen lagoon]

Most of the Chambers and boons were already planned out before the actual run

[half zephyr]

I'm sure someone will

[craggy barn]

i mean, 64 heat unseeded is definitely DOABLE

[half zephyr]

gaaah this movie just doesn't want to be viewed

annoying

[craggy barn]

it's just a bit difficult

[half zephyr]

ok, back to hades

[ornate dragon]

They should just merciful end

64

Easy

[brazen lagoon]

Have you tried viewing it shadow

[ornate dragon]

Space bar and mouse

[half zephyr]

my movie cut out twice now for me

[craggy barn]

you don't seriously think fists ME is gonna be an easy 64 clear do you

[half zephyr]

for no reason!

[brazen lagoon]

Well then put them back together

[half zephyr]

I'm trryyyyyying

maybe it senses that I don't really wanna watch it

[brazen lagoon]

What movie is it

[half zephyr]

man of steel

[brazen lagoon]

That one's pretty ehhhh

[half zephyr]

mhmm

but it's for the buildup to snyder JL
yesterday was WW & WW84

today it's as many in the movie chrono order I can fit in after those 2

[brazen lagoon]

You gonna finish it all off with the snyder cut?

[unborn remnant]

Any bouldy fans in chat

[half zephyr]

just refreshing my memory of it all for that cut ye

[unborn remnant]

[brisk trail]

Bouldy as my heart and soul

[half zephyr]

[brisk trail]

[oblique sun]

[unborn remnant]

what a good character

hes just vibing eternally

[brazen lagoon]

He's rockin out

[unborn remnant]

rockin and rollin

[dire dagger]

bouldy is no sisyphus, but still great, best 2 characters :P

followed by the shade fan

[oblique sun]

b-but dusa ;w;

[dire dagger]

ok, sisyphus, bouldy, dusa, then shade fan

always glad to see their

[oblique sun]

smilee

[void vigil]

wait, i didnt know 64 heat has been cleared :0

i look away from the hades channels for a bit and baj clears max heat

amazing

[unborn remnant]

[tired axle]

sooo, how come we got the hade music kit on cs-go?

[brisk trail]

One of the goddamn greatest games of all time

[half zephyr]

you had 5h logged on steam

[brisk trail]

That's really all I've got to say rn

[half zephyr]

and they did a random collab without announcing it here I guess

so, you play 5h of Hades via steam & you get the "free" music kit on csgo

[tired axle]

lol, nice

yeah,.. got a lot more then 5 h lols

[amber kraken]

Got to the ending but its not the end

[oblique sun]

well you got to the end credits

[amber kraken]

The fates are telling me to get a better relationship with the gods to progress. Up to what point should I raise it?

[oblique sun]

Bonds

i assume you're talking about the Queen's plan?

[amber kraken]

yea

[oblique sun]

I can tell you the details of what you need to progress it (like how many), but you need to forge bonds with them

[amber kraken]

ahh. Okay. Thats gonna be alot of nectar

[oblique sun]

yeahh

it's 6 nectar per god and at least 1 ambrosia for each

well, at least you can turn the keys to nectar

[amber kraken]

yup

And Im getting used to beating the twink and his bull

[oblique sun]

Asterius and Other Guy

EM3 or just normal Asterius and Other Guy?

[amber kraken]

normal. Tho I tried EM3. Loved the chariot

[oblique sun]

EM3 Asterius can be more annoying if you don't know him, though Theseus is definitely much easier thanks to the lack of a freaking shield

so it's overall easier

as for Asterius you just wanna distance yourself from him usually and only get close between attacks

since he deals AoE

[amber kraken]

Ill take any heat if that meas Theseus will drop his stupid shield

[oblique sun]

his stupid shield is, indeed, extremely stupid

[half zephyr]

eeh

just get aphro greater call & unleash it when he calls on his godly aid

[oblique sun]

2nd phase is the easy part

[half zephyr]

then give him a punch or slash or what have you

[oblique sun]

if i can reach 2nd phase then i've already won

because of yeah him removing his shield during the transition

[half zephyr]

I haven't seen him use his shield before phase 2

[oblique sun]

the 1st phase is not hard per se but it's just so annoying

oh talking about em3

[half zephyr]

I was talking about Theseus w shield

[oblique sun]

????

[half zephyr]

you were both mentioning how stupid his shield was

[oblique sun]

ma'am he has his shield always up?? except when transitioning between phases?? outside of em3?

sorry i'm confused i should just walk away

[half zephyr]

he uses an actual shield when it's not em3

to block you

🛡️

it's very annoying

but I never notice it before phase 2 on normal

[brisk trail]

DONT GET BLAWK'D

[half zephyr]

cuz he just tries to hit me all the time

leaving himself wide open for attack

[brisk trail]

i almost always just build my greater call in first phase and then unleash it once theseus is half

[half zephyr]

@oblique sun it's just that Theseus would rather attack me then block me before phase 2 - that's why I said I never notice the shield before that

I never see it before before phase 2 cuz he always tries to swing his spear around or throw it at me instead

[tight cave]

The game just royally screwed me over. Had the same build as the last one I posted in the victory boasting channel but with the Artemis/Demeter duo, was going at record pace..

And then I got five-sacked in Styx.

[oblique sun]

ouch

hate it when that happens, rng

[tight cave]

Even worse, I've tried a few more runs since and haven't even gotten Crystal Beam, even when I equip Demeter's keepsake.

It's like the game is aware of how OP my playstyle was and is like "No. Experiment pls."

[oblique sun]

lol just back luck

bad*

do you have fated persuasion? might help

[oblique sun]

guys uh is it

i have a question

is it possible to be offered a higher rarity of a boon you already have?

Like i just got wave of despair (purple) offered to me when i have it (rare)

i just don't think i've ever seen that before so um?? not sure if that's a bug or? i'm dumb?

[humble lotus]

Question, is there a way to see hammer effect requirements similar to how you can see boon requirements?

[half zephyr]

wdym requirements?

[oblique sun]

um, i don't think there's a requirement for hammers, only a few restrictions here and there

like some that aren't compatible

[half zephyr]

different weapons have different hammers

[oblique sun]

but i wouldn't call those "requirements" i guess

though, is that what you mean?

[half zephyr]

you get bonus hammer option with hiddens, but lose access to some as well

there's lists online

of all hammer upgrades

[oblique sun]

https://hades.gamepedia.com/Heart-Seeking_Bow

here's gamepedia i suppose

you can find other weapons at the bottom of the page

[half zephyr]

I don't trust the wikis

many be so outdated

[humble lotus]

I was wondering as there was an upgrade i found one one aspect thar would be amazing for another one but i have never seen it on that other one

[oblique sun]

outdated is better than nothing i guess

what's it, salesclerk-

we can give some more info on it i suppose if you remember it

[half zephyr]

what upgrade be that on what aspect & where do you wanna get it now?

[narrow hemlock]

hey there, some of us on the server do edit on the wiki. if you find outdated info, let someone know. we cant fix what we dont know is a problem

[oblique sun]

is it the same wiki i sent?

gamepedia

[narrow hemlock]

its the primary one, yes

[oblique sun]

alright thanks for letting us know ^^

[half zephyr]

I just don't look at wikis anymore 😗

but ty for info

[oblique sun]

i frankly have trouble figuring out what would be outdated but i just keep asking around i guess

[narrow hemlock]

well just remember wiki editing is voluntary work and its a bit offputting to see people look down on it for any reason

[humble lotus]

It was the bow upgrade that makes each consecutive special hit on 1 foe deal more damage and i was wondering if that is possible on the aspect of charon

[oblique sun]

but does anyone know anything about this-

yeah, you can get that on Chiron bow

you probably just got unlucky

it's called Concentrated Volley ^^

[half zephyr]

I mean, I respect the wikis, but I just don't like using them in general

[humble lotus]

I just now saw it for the first time when using hera bow

[oblique sun]

one thing that you can't use with Chiron is Charged Volley- that's incompatible, i guess it'd be strong

soo uh can i propose what i just proposed again-

[amber kraken]

got like 9 achievments today. It was a productive day

[oblique sun]

ooh damn nice

[viral root]

I'm hoping to make victory 2 a reality after work tonight

[toxic perch]

LAUGHS IN AEGIS

[earnest cosmos]

I got the physical copy I'm excite

[toxic perch]

also i finished the game

killed the final boss 3 times is more correct i guess instead of "finished"

but achillies still not giving me varatha -,-

[gray apex]

you mean finished the tutorial

[toxic perch]

yeah

armor is freaking annoying

[oblique sun]

good luck rmz!

and even if you don't, that' okay, just keep on going! you've got an eternity down there :P

[hasty owl]

piercing fire gang

[unborn remnant]

any good runs here

[last heart]

Made it through most of Asphodel in great shape, good boons, not used any Death Defiance. Hit Eurydice's chamber, pause for a second to check texts, let the game play because Eurydice. Bump the mouse. Zag wanders off into the lava behind a pillar where I can't see him and dies. I can't find him, he's not moving, uses up both my death defiances.

Don't let anyone tell you Eurydice can't be a menace.

[brisk trail]

btw does anyone know how igneus edens hellfire interacts with a deflect boon on it ?

like can u stand in the bomb and it'll just deflect ?

Kinda?

It pulses, and even after being triggered to explode there's a moment where nothing happens before the hitbox actually comes out.

aight thanks

[karmic trellis]

does stubborn defiance reset every path of the temple of styx or every room? if that makes sense.

[brisk trail]

Every room I'm pretty sure

am i the only one thinking that the lernian bone hydra is easier / more practical to fight with the added mechanics heat thing ?

[grand crystal]

Every room yea

[grand crystal]

Yea people run em2 for speed running since it’s faster

[high island]

@brisk trail Lady Aphrodite's stream was acting up today, and it's your fault. https://clips.twitch.tv/PrettyJoyousOxEagleEye-8vkoMgAkxU4-mf1z

[brisk trail]

Nope, still yours.

[high island]

Lady Aphrodite said it's yours.

[brisk trail]

I'm assuming you led her to that assumption, given I wasn't there and I'm not involved with any tech projects (kinda-sorta-not-really besides Hades).

[high island]

That's beside the point. When Lady Aphrodite says that's how it is, that's how it is.
