@sharp dust you can find steps for recovering a save file in #h1-tech-fixes, and if you need help with that, you can ask in #h1-tech-support.

Im curious
If I were to take hermes boon which boosts attack speed would that affect sisyphus shackle damage boost

If I were to take hermes boon which boosts attack speed would that affect sisyph...
no, only boons that take up your core slots will get rid of the damage boost from the keepsake

hello
hallow peak
Hello
What does the enemy perk popper do
In 3 runs with benefits package at max
I haven’t got it which its rareness leads me to believe that when I do come across it. Its going to hurt me alot
hallow peak
Oh that seems mean
Lol
Holy crap exagryph’s last aslect is fun
And ironically its from my religion lol
hallow peak
Its interesting how it sorta tracks enemies
And how the ammo icon becomes a battery
I like that little touch
brisk trail
maybe it's cos I'm using zagspect but I feel like the rails dps is so pitiful
Don't try to use % boons on the Attack.
Take Lightning Strike, or Tempest Strike and go for Sea Storm.
Actually with Zag Aspect if you take Spread Fire it's really dumb.
woven nacelle
Just saw the credits. This game is, needless to say, amazing.
brisk trail
one of my all time favourites
steady sierra
Is there a finite amount of Titan Blood or Ambrosia
brisk trail
Technically no.
steady sierra
like do I have to worry about what to spend stuff on
woven nacelle
There’s a prologue and epilogue correct?
woven nacelle
Is there a finite amount of Titan Blood or Ambrosia
I think? Isn’t it 2 per aspect per weapon?
rapid agate
alright this is weird but
i miss the "taken by the styx"
it used to make me very sad
warped panther
same
rapid agate
not angry
woven nacelle
But also you can trade with the dude in the lounge so I guess not
brisk trail
Anyway, you can eventually get every last TB or Ambrosia that will spawn, whether from bounties or the Fated List.
steady sierra
hm
brisk trail
But you can continue to grind out Darknesse and other minor resources ad infinitum.
rapid agate
oh yeah you can get infinite tbs and ambrosia
brisk trail
That being said, I think there's more than enough of everything that you shouldn't have to ever grind out Titan Blood or Ambrosia through minor resources like that.
woven nacelle
Looking at the credits and seeing that Achilles, Poseidon and Hades are all the same person is weird asf
rapid agate
you can trade your nectar for diamonds or ambrosia
steady sierra
oh neat
brisk trail
you have more ambrosia than you need, and not enough blood, so change maybe 20 ambrosia to blood in the end
rapid agate
That being said, I think there's more than enough of everything that you shouldn...
technically speaking you don't have enough tb to max everything even when getting every bounty
slightly less than enough blood to max weapons
steady sierra
I’ll probably fully upgrade musicians before I spend it on blood. I understand that they probably aren’t useful, but I wanna
I haven’t used a single ambrosia
steady sierra
for a character
rapid agate
yeah
steady sierra
is it 5 nectars until you give ambrosia?
I’m not too knowledgeable about the ambrosia use
I just got the game like a week ago so
rapid agate
i think it's a lot™️
steady sierra
oh
rapid agate
not really
steady sierra
erm lemme goog
steady sierra
6 nectars until you receive a quest, hm
I suppose I’ll do that with Orpheus and Eurydice first even though they don’t have companions.
rapid agate
this always feels the best
you can hear the souls of grinders feel apeased
hmmmmmm
real question do i sacrifice ambrosia to get naegling's board or do i wait until i get one more tb
warped panther
I sacrificed lots of ambrosia for Titan Blood. I regretted it immensely later on.
warped panther
am i gonna regret my earlier decisions
If you care about advancing the plot, you will need LOTS of ambrosia
rapid agate
i maxed hades, nyx, charon,chaos,artemis,ares,dionysus,hermes,orpheus,sisyphus,eurydice,cerberus, and skelly

I just died to them with 3 death defiances left 😐
don't worry about it
imo they're the hardest boss
or at least the biggest difficulty spike
brisk trail
yeah the difficulty spike from lernie to thes/ast is pretty huge

Patroclus is such a lifesaver I swear
even though I died
he gave me all three of those death defiances back

I think its just story bits
Some is interesting
Like there is one where he scolds zagreus about using a spear all wrong.
It can be thought provoking
Like why would he ever teach zagreus how to use a weapon if he never wanted him to leave the underworld
Pretty self damning
Pun intended
brisk trail
regarding the conversation in #h1-victory-boasting I think anvil should let you choose what hammers you lose and receive but at the same cost as rare hermes boon
still -1 +2
but you get a pick of 3 for each new one
like normal hammers
but it costs 500
hallow peak
Oh definitely
abstract tree
why can't I go outside anymore? 😢
hallow peak
At times I don’t have the exact hammer abilities I want but I still refuse to buy the anvil because I don’t want the good ability I have to get replaced
hallow peak
why can't I go outside anymore? 😢
What would you do thats a good question
abstract tree
watch the sun rise
hallow peak
There is no one there
True
Glad I took screenshots
But anything else?
Like mechanics
Or story
Maybe include gardening mechanic
abstract tree
maybe take the various death messages and attach them to physical locations outside
hallow peak
Where you can plant things and they grow within a set amount of run clears
abstract tree
that would be cool
hallow peak
And you get resources or something upon harvesting
abstract tree
i just like walking around up there after completing a run. Adding farming and an additional fishing location wouldn't be bad either
celebration zone
but now i celebrate in the arena. It's just a bit small when there's all those outside assets just sitting there calling to me

ok fighting charon in asphodel was not a smart play
actually no it was
I have so much coin now
I can just buy back my dd
dry veldt
That is always the plan when you fight Charon
Just buy back the dd
Because most of us are not good enough to keep them all
dry veldt
I've only fought him in asphodel
The first time because I saw 300 gold and didn't realize what would happen
And the second and third time because Hermes dared me to
brisk trail
my brain thinks hmmmmm there's gonna be a repurcusion to this
hallow peak
My game just lost where direct x graphics driver was and the screen went black
Then as I was looking for the bulkan application inside the games folder to fix it it said
It crashed
Im gonna be upset if my run is lost

guan yu needs a buff?
half zephyr
GY works for those who use it
vapid narwhal
a weapon that is a main stay in high heat?
half zephyr
Just have to get used to how it works first
half zephyr
I’m not a fan, but that’s cuz I keep forgetting to spin at the right times
So I just lose health without getting any back 
half zephyr
You’ll figure it out
My baby nephew is dancing like no tomorrow to the unseen ones
So cute
He likes em4 music, how adorable
stiff summit
I've only cleared 32 heat with special build but cannot make it work for spin
vapid narwhal
at that heat range, certain things not working is expected
hollow hawk
But it's only used for its special right
special>ds>ds, yeah
its spin works too
with athena attack, you can just stand in the spin circle all day
spin works good in high heat if you get quick+massive spin hammers
and in general, the spin is decent for high heat because it allows you to regen health even with lc4, so you can spin when enemies are spawning to get a bit of health
guan yu is just not a noob friendly aspect, and judging by the fact that most people will discover it when theyre noobs, see "-75% health" and then just not use it for all eternity. It's very weird to start hidden aspects from it
vapid narwhal
yeah and considering it's not even the first weapon
guess they want to tie it to Achilles
hollow hawk
yeah^
woven nacelle
It’s only really useful when you’re invested in the game. If you’re willing to max the aspect then it’s decent, but at -70 or whatever nobody will touch it
Starting at 50 hp is a lot less daunting than 30
signal otter
so I accidentally purged a second boon unintentionally in between worlds, is there a condition where I can quit and redo it from a save? I remember being able to do that not too long ago but couldn't just now

Dude the asterius/theseus fight with nem sword and athena’s deflect sword is a joke
hollow hawk
know that it will forever haunt you, that you save scummed a run
signal otter
done it before to get asterius instead of the butterfly ball
hollow hawk
do you wake up in the middle of the night thinking about how asterius is now sad that you refused to fight him
signal otter
it was the other way around, I was trying to unlock talos
woven nacelle
The butterfly ball can die in a hole :)
Countless (probably more like 3 lmao) runs have been stopped by that thing because I was inexperienced and didn’t know you could hit the butterflies to kill them
hollow hawk
this, plus i didnt know when to focus on butterfly ball and when to focus on the 5 archers shooting a thousand arrows at me
vapid narwhal
butterfly ball itself without MM is not very threatening
I constantly dash to kill the eyes first, and go back to dealing with the ball
vapid narwhal
yeah teleport
brisk trail
even with mm, it really doesn't take much to kill the thing
signal otter
but yeah I prioritize souls
tight cave
Speaking of butterfly ball, I was using Meg’s companion in a run yesterday and summoned her at the start of the fight, for some reason she missed it entirely. I thought she was meant to lock into the nearest enemy?
signal otter
you might have to be close enough
woven nacelle
And I’ve triggered the event where she shows up in my bedroom
But she hasn’t given me battie yet?
vapid narwhal
there are two
woven nacelle
Uhh
signal otter
the "pack her stuff" one isn't it
vapid narwhal
first is she picking up her stuff, then the actual bond event
vapid narwhal
you only get the heart unlock after the actual event
then you can give her ambrosia

The guy I watched didn’t want to spoil everything so they didn’t tell me what the specific event was, thanks for clearing it up

Is there a good weapon/aspect suggestion for Thorn of Thanatos achievement?
brisk trail
I think I generally did it with ranged weapons
you can play really safe and not get hit
bow and rail are the best
rare hull
Tried with Chiron bow and got as close as 28% at Elysium. Had no luck at Styx though :/
brisk trail
chiron isnt the safest bow because the special locks you into place really long
hm
I think rail with zeus attack or hestia rail with aphro attack should be really good
ebon urchin
Can't remember if this game has cross saves. I'm tired of waiting for even a whiff of announcement on Playstation. So I might as well get it on Switch. Any clue if I can transfer my progress when the time comes?
brisk trail
I know you can cross-save between pc and switch but idk about switch and ps sorry
ebon urchin
Ok thanks. I played a lot during all the early access period on Epic (any super giant game title is a day one, no questions asked). But I was expecting that with release 1.0 would come an announcement of ports.

I like being a glass cannon or tanky with tons of damage in rpgs and stuff

Its made me compensate for my slowness
10/10 would suggest for new players to unlock it first
Even though you need to unlock guan yu to get it

what does the coin icon above the first profile mean?
oblique sun
it's just the loaded save
oblique sun
as far as i can tell, you can't instantly open a save profile if there isn't the obol above it
signal aspen
yeah
it just means that if you click it again then you will play in that save
if you click a different save then the obol will move to that save
oblique sun
so it works both as a prevention for accidentally opening the wrong save (you have to click to switch the obol, then click to open) and as an indicator for which one you last played
i do not know of any more uses of the file obol
also hi guys i'm back

If I had to suggest one balance change it would be the satyrs

Its the last stage that makes sense
But their projectiles being super fast is hard

satyrs aren't too bad, it's just the dire satyr who can insta murder you

And yes you can slow and even deflect them
Yeah
But what gets me is they can shoot at you from off screen
Thats sorta annoying

it works well but people usually prefer the dio/zeus duo

dealing like 40 damage per lightning hit

dio attack is ok you might get blackout
grand crystal
and like maybe arte on attack to get her legendary started
solid shell
Which legendary
grand crystal
since she needs 2 from pressure points, support fire, and exit wounds
youll have to get pressure points which has no reqs and support which has some reqs i think
brisk trail
keep in mind that dio beo is usually with stygian because festive fog takes super long to drop
grand crystal
also for bad news 50% lol

bad news is sooo nice on non lodging casts
brisk trail
stygian soul
grand crystal
the mirror alt for infernal soul
where you only have 1 cast but it comes back every 3-5 seconds depending on level of mirror buff
brisk trail
if you could chose gods I'd prob look out for both arte and poseidon on top of zeus and dio for mirage shot
but thats a dream
gonna be rng reliant
brisk trail
its only good for dio cast on beo
grand crystal
its only good for dio cast on beo
debatable
brisk trail
all other casts take infernal soul
solid shell
I tried using it while using every mirror alt on the same run
grand crystal
stygian is good if you get more casts
so chaos and arte are youre main methods of getting such
brisk trail
I mean listen I'm the clown that ran hera with stygian
brisk trail
yeah i works
but infernal is really better in hindsight
whatever
you play on low heat anyway navi, right
you dont need to optimize everything
solid shell
The most heat I've done i think is 9 with rama
grand crystal
depends on weapon tbh, play however you want since anything works tbh but general thoughts on stygian vs infernal is that stygian is better for ares, dem, dio casts
since they take a while to drop
and makes bad news chunky
however lodging casts imo are better with infernal
depends on how you want to play tho
and if its poseidon sword it really doesnt matter
stygian can give you exit wounds stonks with like 10 casts lodged but infernal is more consistent
thats also how i feel about a lot of alt mirror, its more luck based besides the like bottom 4-5
oblique sun
i usually just take stygian almost everytime
i prefer it over having to pick up, i can just mindlessly shoot whenever i feel the need to
steady sierra
yessss, I’m going to get the funny song
craggy barn
infernal is usually better for burst damage and killing things really fast though
steady sierra
I wish I didn’t know about the Zagreus song so I could be surprised by it
craggy barn
like crush shot on infernal vs stygian
steady sierra
but Dionysus just told me to do it
steady sierra
Orpheus is so gullible bless his heart
grand crystal
or is he going along with the joke
we may never know
my head cannon is that he and eury are going along with it really hard just to annoy zag
oblique sun
like crush shot on infernal vs stygian
i usually use fists so i just use cast as a secondary weapon, for ranged and boiling blood purposes
it feels easier to keep BB active at all times with it
winter zinc
i take stygian whenever im not doing a cast build
steady sierra
I like Guan Yu
steady sierra
although I still haven’t won a game 😐
sharp dust
guan yu is just spam spin to heal all ur hp bar
modern garnet
Hearts give less hp, as well
steady sierra
dammit, It was going well until Theseus as per usually
winter zinc
can you get duo boons on your first ever run?
winter zinc
ok ty
runic estuary
Did they up the difficulty of the extreme measures theseus fight? I do not recall minotaur being so difficult before with his beefed up armor
oblique sun
nah minotaur was always difficult difficult lemon difficult
winter zinc
peak zealot
I think I just broke my personally crit record. 2500 damage crits with Hestia
peak zealot
Artemis attack + artemis dash + a chaos attack + a chaos backstab + 20% from fountains
At least those were the biggest ones
I'm not entirely sure how the buffs stack exactly, but I was getting 25XX crits with backstabs on hades
I may have had an ares attack/special/cast damage buff too. I can't remember the percent though
brisk trail
Hello friens
echo garden
Should I be worried about wasting titan blood?
brisk trail
I'd say not really cos you can alwys get more
brisk trail
but ideally you should spend it on aspects you're gonna use
opaque radish
I just maxed out each character relationship
lethal island
Anyone else been getting softlocks in pom/hammer/boon menus lately?
brisk trail
in case you haven't already, check for any known bugs and their fixes
lethal island
Yea I checked in #h1-tech-fixes and there was nothing concerning straight softlocks like this
brisk trail
alright well I hope you find a solution
opaque radish
I'm missing two Undiscovered fish... is there some trick to getting those? Maybe I have to roll Pos's legendary for them?
brisk trail
those would be very rare fish
you have to react to the fishing bob very fast
also fish can appear in chaos and the end area
opaque radish
I thought it may have been a timing thing
brisk trail
the faster your reaction time, the rarer the fish basically
opaque radish
...one of the ones I'm missing is a common lol
the Mati
but the other is Voidskate which is legendary, makes sense
ah it's in chaos, that makes sense now
all that's left is to level each of the companions, fill out the codex, and get Skelly's last trinkets
then just heats 😄
opaque radish
I thought it was 25k? not 250k?
loud sleet
Also can u access the room in the back?
heavy hound
No it’s 250,000
loud sleet
Near the pedastals
lethal island
there are other ones that are less than 250k darkness
loud sleet
Not the side room which u can access
opaque radish
oh wait I may be thinking of the chaos one
lethal island
You mean up where Achilles usually is?
lethal island
That's a near credits thing
opaque radish
also yeah I forgot about all the house contractor stuff and badges
I didn't unlock a lot of it cause most of my effort is still going to the aspects (which I also forgot about)
heavy hound
oh wait I may be thinking of the chaos one
Chaos one is 250,000
brisk trail
<@407037931358912512> that specific theme costs 250,000 darkness
25k
opaque radish
no chaos is 25k
brisk trail
not 250k
opaque radish
I'm looking right at it lol
heavy hound
Are you sure?
brisk trail
yes
heavy hound
Oh nvmd then
brisk trail
its 25k
opaque radish
I was like wait lol
opaque radish
wait there are ranks to the chaos theme?
sharp dust
are ranks really useless
opaque radish
ah those yeah
brisk trail
it's a little badge next to your name
sharp dust
or do they have neat cosmetic stuff attached at least
opaque radish
I've bought one
brisk trail
healthbar I meant
it's purely cosmetic tho
and you can flex how much of a nolife you are
opaque radish
yeah I still have plenty more to get
heavy hound
and you can flex how much of a nolife you are
^
opaque radish
I'm at 227833 dark
lethal island
Total?
brisk trail
how long you been playing
opaque radish
not all I've made, but my current count
opaque radish
not intentionally but it's the closest so why not
opaque radish
besides themes are visual and I can use every other currency to get blood to get aspects
brisk trail
yep
woven nacelle
Dudeee waiting for the physical release for switch was extremely worth it
The music is AMAZING
wispy flax
I came back to say that I appreciate you all being really helpful and not gatekeeping the game, unlike some other roguelite/like servers
steady sierra
uh oh
steady sierra
I went through the last chamber in Styx to find another death defiance
wispy flax
The RoR2 server is kind of a mess with people gatekeeping achievements of all things lol
brisk trail
but yeah ppl here are super friendly and helpful
steady sierra
and instead I found a vermin as well 
brisk trail
wdym gatekeeping achievements
wispy flax
"You have to play the game my way which means you cant use alternate modes to unlock achievements/skills!" kinda gatekeep lol
brisk trail
oh yeah that's cringe
wispy flax
Yeah, not tryna drag drama and toxicity across servers either, so Ill just leave it at that.
brisk trail
as long as it's done legitimately without a third party program (like SAM) then your achievements are valid
no matter how you earned them
wispy flax
What does leveling companions do?
brisk trail
gives them an extra use
craggy barn
you get more uses per run
craggy barn
up to a max of 5, but you can get more uses from buying night spindles at charon wells
wispy flax
Oh no wonder. I have used Morg <6 times ever.
brisk trail
fattus rattus
wispy flax
Rat go brrrr
steady sierra
I’m on one health wtf

sharp dust
lil vermin be the real final boss
craggy barn
tiny vermin moment
wispy flax
Is anyone consistently good at getting power shots with Rama?
craggy barn
it takes a lot longer to charge but if it's anyone it's tailesque lol
wispy flax
I find it difficult even with dash strike because that lowers the time to draw for a power shot
wispy flax
Damn, fair enough
steady sierra
ded
sharp dust
f
craggy barn
I find it difficult even with dash strike because that lowers the time to draw f...
but it drastically lowers the time it takes to charge which is exactly what you would want
wispy flax
but it drastically lowers the time it takes to charge which is exactly what you ...
Yes, thats what Ive been training for. Even then, dash strike charge is still a heck of a learning curve to perfect.
craggy barn
if you're having trouble timing it then perfect shot should help at least a little bit
also since you wanna just be dash-striking don't take swift strike from hermes
wispy flax
Id say learning Rama power is about as difficult as learning to grapple jump in TF|2
craggy barn
it lowers the charge time for your normal attack but not dash-strike
wispy flax
Noted, Ill heed your advice.
craggy barn
and i'm just gonna pretend i know what grapple-jumping is
wispy flax
High skill ceiling skill from Titanfall 2 haha
craggy barn
i have near extensive technical knowledge of hades outside of code but the only technique in tf2 i even know about is rocket jumping
wispy flax
Thats the other TF2 lmao
brisk trail
rocket jumping is ebic I used to be ranked 700/56k ranked jumpers
craggy barn
Thats the other TF2 lmao
that goes to show i know zero about titanfall 
wispy flax
Ive played a bit of Quake/UT and rocket jumping is still one of the most fun techniques
High skill movement games are no more though 
brisk trail
Hey guys, I need to hit a run that gets me faster than 17 minutes in Hades, any tips/help on what keepsake I should take each level and boons I should go for and stuff like that?
stark prism
what weapon are you using?
brisk trail
shield
but also if u think i should do something different i can try out different weapons just not bow
i hate the bow
stark prism
LOL
craggy barn
for shield it's best to use aspect of beowulf
stark prism
i actually dont know, i was just curious as to what you were gonna use 👉🏼 👈🏼
craggy barn
get flood flare, and build on it
sharp dust
zeus shield best shield according to good playas (not me)
stark prism
^ that's what im doing right at this moment
brisk trail
for shield it's best to use aspect of beowulf
oh yeah how do i get that aspect lmao
i only have like 60 hours in the game
craggy barn
get deadly strike then try to get mirage shot from poseidon or artemis
stark prism
you have more than me and i have it :O
craggy barn
do you have guan yu unlocked?
stark prism
(the hidden aspect of the spear)
brisk trail
you have more than me and i have it :O
lmao yea i have 3 save files for some reason
stark prism
if not, you need it unlocked to unlock all the other hidden aspects
brisk trail
do you have guan yu unlocked?
i do not how do i unlock that
brisk trail
check #h1-story-discussion pins for unlocking secret aspects
brisk trail

dash in and grab it, ur invuln while picking a boon
hallow peak
Oh ok
brisk trail
what does it mean when it says 5 other aspects, does that mean any aspect or specifically for the spear
sharp dust
or walk to it and eat that damage LIKE A MAN
stark prism
wait why can he send attachments in here but not me?
brisk trail
it's via imgur
craggy barn
i do not how do i unlock that
reveal 5 (non-zag) aspects of any weapon and seek the fool who ended a war in a blind rage or some stuff
brisk trail
non-zag huh?
craggy barn
i always wanted to say that
brisk trail
Whaaaat?
lol
non zagreus aspects
each weapon has a zagreus aspect
oh ok
you need to unlock 5 aspects that or not zagreus
so 5 things that aren't the first option
yes
stark prism
exactly
sharp dust
zag aspects are so bad
sharp dust
imagine the cool base aspects we'd get if we were playing as lucifer
brisk trail
