[sharp dust]

[craggy barn]

just give it to everyone

[brisk trail]

ok so 5 non zagreus aspects, then spend 5 blood in ANY spear aspects and then achilles will give you the dialogue after a couple runs

[sharp dust]

achilles that is

[craggy barn]

literally pass it out at every chance, it'll help later

[brisk trail]

[brisk trail]

IT HAS TO BE SPEAR ASPECTS?

NOT JUST ANY WEAPON?

[sharp dust]

most of the catholic gods u dont need to give nectar to

[craggy barn]

check the codex for characters you still have to give nectar to

[brisk trail]

5 ANY WEAPON aspects except zagreus, then 5 BLOOD in spear

you have to do both

BRUUUUH

[brisk trail]

get ready

[stark prism]

already got cast

[sharp dust]

i dont even take boon rooms anymore if i can avoid them and they're not the 2 gods i wanna build around

[brisk trail]

I was tracking down duos for the prophecy, I rolled 2 duos I already found, I REROLLED AND GOT THE SAME 2 DUOS, I rerolled again and got the missing duo

5 duos in 3 rolls

[stark prism]

christ

[brisk trail]

nuttery

[stark prism]

wow

[brisk trail]

yep

[stark prism]

scrumptious

[stark prism]

this tho

[sharp dust]

[brisk trail]

gave 2 duos twice that I didn't want

this was off a shop boon

[sharp dust]

why would u waste 6 stones otherwise

[brisk trail]

nah just 3

initial roll, 1 for reroll, 2 for second reroll

I did have gods legacy btw

[sharp dust]

still

u livin on the edge

[brisk trail]

and I might have had artemis boon

[stark prism]

guise pls

[brisk trail]

so thats like 32% chance

[stark prism]

im indecisive af

[brisk trail]

take whatever you feel is best

[stark prism]

staring at the boon screen here

probs breaking wave bc my cast is common

feelsbadman

[sharp dust]

most legendaries/duos are bad unless u've specifically built for them

[brisk trail]

is it weird I prefer helping people with hades than actually playing hades O_o

[sharp dust]

yes

[brisk trail]

lol

[simple moat]

artemis/aphrodite duo is pretty sweet pretty much always though

[stark prism]

is it weird i just got a perfect catch without looking at my monitor

[stark prism]

no

wanna watch me play beo horrendously lol

[brisk trail]

heart rend on nemmy sword is mwaahh 😩

nah

[stark prism]

F

i love having people watch me play hades

had to do it to me

[sharp dust]

not looking actually makes it easier

the picture can bait u

the sound is always the same

[brisk trail]

not a huge fan of watching streams but I love streaming for ppl

appreciate the ofer tho

[stark prism]

same

[sharp dust]

i only stream in exchange for subs

[hallow peak]

You can exchange it or gift it to characters. You can even gift it to olympian gods through boons. You should do this because with most characters you get a keepsake which you can equip for a run and it gives you some special benefit

I suggest gifting to meg, sisyphus and at least once each for the olympian gods

[brisk trail]

gift 1 to everyone then max cthonic gods

[sharp dust]

max ur waifus

ignore the rest

[hallow peak]

Oh and at least once to skelly

Skellies keepsake is a pretty good helper

[brisk trail]

this

[hallow peak]

Megaera walks into room

begins to visibly sweat ambrosia

[sharp dust]

watch as meg is too busy talking with dusa to notice your existence

[hallow peak]

maxes out dusa so that both fawn over you

[brisk trail]

I got da aspect for spear now how do I get the shield one? Ps haven’t unlocked spear one just have it as option now.

[hallow peak]

Guan yu is really the only unique one

[sharp dust]

invest a total of 5 bloods in the other shield aspects

then u need to have a scene with chaos

[hallow peak]

For all the others you need to talk to a certain npc and invest 5 titan blood into non zag aspects for the weapon whose secret aspect you want

Yeah

[brisk trail]

Bruuuh how do I get bloods quickly

kill bosses

[sharp dust]

speedrun

[brisk trail]

also some prophecies have blood rewards

Ok also what are the easiest upgrades for heat specifically for heat 5?

[sharp dust]

i'd learn guan yu since u already have it

it fun

[hallow peak]

Bosses

Trading

[brisk trail]

I don’t have it unlocked I still need to buy t

[hallow peak]

And fishing

[sharp dust]

u can also use cheat engine

[hallow peak]

Don’t ask about fishing you unlock it sort of mid gane

[hallow peak]

SILENCE

[brisk trail]

I have fishing

What’s t

What’s the easiest heats to do for 5 heat? Or 4 heat?

[sharp dust]

idk whats easy

[hallow peak]

Uhh on this save I don’t have pop

Uhh

[sharp dust]

i like forced overtime

[hallow peak]

The one

That

OHHH

How can I say this

The one that gives them a blue bar

And makes them take a hit with no damage

That

And

Ohhh

[brisk trail]

That ones annoying bro wut

[hallow peak]

What is it

No its easy

What is it

Uhhh

[brisk trail]

I recommend em2

thats pretty easy

[hallow peak]

The more enemies one

Extra gold

[brisk trail]

oh

the timer

TD 1 is FREE and td2 is pretty free too

ALSO what’s a good mirror setup? Can y’all share urs?

[sharp dust]

i would if i could post images

but this discord settings bad :<

[brisk trail]

cant cos in a run rn

but I'll send u mine later :)

Oh ok.. r there any tips for speed runs? Any gods rly good?

I'd leave speedrunning alone for now but this is a very helpful vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Mmoo4oTKU

Oh boy ok

So during

So probs wait on that lol honestly I just wanna get sub15 run

[stark prism]

how are people getting those titles under their healthbars in #h1-victory-boasting btw?

[brisk trail]

you buy them from a dude in hades room later in the game

[stark prism]

ohhhhhhh that dude

for the keys and darkness

got it

[brisk trail]

yessir!

What is good keepsake to use?

[stark prism]

always depends on the weapon

unless you wanna try something different and run a non boon related ks

[brisk trail]

in my opinion, use the olympian keesakes to find desirable boons then use acorn for the final boss

[stark prism]

yeah never run a god keepsake post elysium

i say that as i kept arte ks on me expecting at least one arte boon to show up in styx

nope

nothing lmao

[sharp dust]

i use tooth cuz it feels better than acorn

[brisk trail]

Acorn?!

yuh, it negates a few hits from boss fights

I think u get it from patroclus in stage 3

[sharp dust]

i should prolly level plume up

seems fun

[brisk trail]

Also r there good leybind sets? Specifically for switch?

keybind?

just use whatever you're comfortable with

[sharp dust]

acorn is eurydice

i don't do nintendo sorry

nintendo is evil

[brisk trail]

Yea like should I switch controls on my joycons?

uhh idk what that is but just use whatever controls u feel most comfortable with

[stark prism]

used it all throughout this one run i did and got mb 40 something percent

it's real fun

[brisk trail]

And what health should I be at before I face final boss? God I have so many questions...

[stark prism]

i noticed high heat peeps dont tend to go for a lot of max health upgrades

[sharp dust]

depends on how good ur are bro

[stark prism]

watched this 5:57? IGT speedrun earlier today and bro never picked centaur heart ever

[stark prism]

this

[sharp dust]

if u're new i'd probably want all my dd charges up

[brisk trail]

Yea tbh not the best at rogue likes this my first I ever played

that's all good, everyone starts somewhere and the most important part is having fun :)

True and this is honestly the best game I’ve ever played the fact it didn’t win game of the year makes me upsetty spaghetti

ughhh yeah

tlou didn't deserve imo

[brisk trail]

It's won lots of GotY awards.

There's no one publication or award show that's the end-all be-all.

afaic hades is the game of the year

[sacred stag]

For the epilogue ||do I need to max out ever god with ambro or just nectar? And once that’s done do I just speak to Persephone or will it randomly trigger?||

[stark prism]

yeah you'll need to max them out w ambro, as for the trigger i have no idea, still trying to get there myself

[brisk trail]

nvrmind I'm braindead

but

[brisk trail]

you only need to do it for 6 gods

[sacred stag]

Nice

[brisk trail]

BUT for demeter you only need to do nectar

so for example you can have demeter nectar and 5 other gods ambrosia

or just do 6 gods ambrosia

[alpine slate]

I really want to 100% hades but one of my big concerns is the river denizens section in the codex, what's the best way to grind the fishes

[half zephyr]

You can’t?

[stark prism]

rng really, also check the mini charon shop always

[half zephyr]

Hope for huge catch I suppose

[stark prism]

there's an item that ensures a fish will spawn next room

other than that, pray

[half zephyr]

And turn up your audio to listen for the ding

[stark prism]

eh it's pretty noticeable idt they need to do that just for the sound

[half zephyr]

It doesn’t take that long to catch one of each

[stark prism]

it always happens after you're done a room when it's quiet

[half zephyr]

The annoying part is completing the codex entries for all the fishies

I only did that like 2 runs ago or so

stupid mati & flameater

Still, I’m at 135 runs now, so it didn’t take me too long

[stark prism]

TFW JUST ROLLED ALL ATTACK HAMMERS ON RAMA

FML HAHAHAHA

[alpine slate]

Why's that bad and which ones

[stark prism]

isn't it a special focused build? that's what i assumed

[alpine slate]

I personally feel like the one's that change the attack works best

Especially chain shot

[stark prism]

it was sniper shot (what i picked for prophecy), and i dont remember the others lol

chain shot was not an option unfortunately

that i remember

[half zephyr]

The goals are to get twin/triple shot I think & then point blank/perfect shot

For the best hammers on Rama

That’s what Plum always says I should aim for

[alpine slate]

Can't you really only get relentless volley for special on rama

[stark prism]

is that so

if it is, then it makes sense why i said what i said

ah well one less hammer choice for prophecy 👍🏼

i..... bought hammers at styx and got rid of relentless volley......

im throwing

time to die

[alpine slate]

You can reroll the anvil

Just hit quit before you do anything that saves

Then got through a temple of styx

And buy the anvil again

And it should give slightly different results

[stark prism]

oh word?

[alpine slate]

At least it does on the switch version

[stark prism]

tried it 3 times

doesnt work

at least i can reset my choice lul

[simple moat]

my game just crashed in styx when i had full lives and a pretty decent sword build 😬

i really hope i dont lose my run

cause i hate playing sword i just want one win with each class

[alpine slate]

Ik from testing my self it's more likely the the 2 hammers you will get change than the one they take away

[brisk trail]

it should have saved

I hope it saved

[simple moat]

fingers crossed

i was paused so maybe i got lucky with an autosave or smth

[brisk trail]

^anime pfp? gross

https://tenor.com/view/weeb-weeb-detected-anime-detected-radar-gif-20319155

rama chain shot is juicy

[half zephyr]

I now have a way to make bow seem decent for me

Just make Rama a special build & ignore attack

Attack is too slow

[half zephyr]

You can get others^^

[simple moat]

ik it doesnt make it any better but in my defense it's not an anime pfp

[brisk trail]

dw it's fine, the joke is I have anime pfp

[alpine slate]

I don't think you can as it's the only one i ever gotten and the wiki says all the other special upgrades are incompatible

[half zephyr]

Wait

Maybe I read wrong on wiki

I dids

My bads

[timber dove]

https://imgur.com/a/DUoDw2H will last stand give me another dd? Or not ?

https://hades.fandom.com/wiki/Death_Defiance

never mind

[half zephyr]

People always ask that, but replenish means “fill (something) up again” 😗

[rare hull]

Aye, this one's different from Chaos' defiance boon

[sharp dust]

i still haven't seen chaos' dd

think i need to miss a dd for it to appear

otherwise it's unexplainable

[half zephyr]

No you don’t

It’s just the rarest legendary

Chaos offers too many boons
And you’ve got to already have 1 chaos boon to even have a chance to see it

[brisk trail]

it's no rarer than any other leg or duo

it has the same 12% base chance as any other leg/duo, except hermes who has a base 1%

https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/llznpb/a_mostly_complete_guide_to_boon_choices_and/ here is the rarity data

[hardy geode]

Ok so excluding chaos how many boons are there in the game in total?

[brisk dust]

it never ends

[brisk trail]

like how many gods that can give boons?

9

chaos makes 10

[hardy geode]

I’ve fulfilled all the prophecies but when I checked my permanent record i saw that I didn’t have either of Hermes’ legendary boons even though I know that I got them both for the prophecy

[brisk trail]

did you get them then restart?

[rare hull]

Never got Hermes' Legendary boon before

[hardy geode]

I think I got them then sold it

Basically I want to beat the game with every boon

And the best way to do that is have them all in the permanent record room

[brisk trail]

well best of luck to you

[hardy geode]

Thx lol
I was just wondering if anyone had an answer so I could see how many on the list I’m missing

[brisk trail]

idk what ur asking but you can check what boons ur missing on the prophecy and you can check how to get them in the codex and on the wiki

[hardy geode]

I already have the prophecy

I have every prophecy completed

You know the room on the left side of the house of hades where you can access your records?

[brisk trail]

yeah

it doesnt show up there?

[hardy geode]

Some of the boons I know I used like Hermes’ legendaries aren’t there

[brisk trail]

uhhhh does it track boons you've picked up or boons you've won with?

cos if the latter you might have died

[hardy geode]

I think it tracks boons you’ve picked up but doesn’t count them if you sold them

It counts both picked up and cleared

[half zephyr]

The difference is how many boons chaos offers compared to everyone else

[brisk trail]

thats not the point, legendary is rolled first

[half zephyr]

Because he can offer the same boon at different rarity

Ye, but it’s still less likely to appear

[brisk trail]

regular boons have no bearing on leg chance

no less likely that any other leg

[half zephyr]

Everyone agrees it’s the rarest legendary/the hardest one to get

[brisk trail]

because chaos gates aren't common

[half zephyr]

That’s not the only reason, but ok

[brisk trail]

it is tho

unless you're arguing against what it says in the game code???

with no keepsakes or mirror, assuming you have the prerequisite boons, an artemis boon and a chaos boon have an equal chance to roll legendary

this isn't an opinion, it's whats in the code

unless the author of that post is wrong in which case please correct me with your own acquired data

@half zephyr I'm not tryna rip on you but do you have any data that proves your point, like aside from "everyone else says so"

I'm a knowledge whore and if I'm wrong I want to know

[hardy geode]

Based on going through the wiki it appears that there are 80 different hammers

now time to find out how many boons there are

[half zephyr]

We’ve been over this before

[brisk trail]

not to this extent

[half zephyr]

With plum

[brisk trail]

uhhhhh

[half zephyr]

I was just repeating parts of what plum was writing

[brisk trail]

look I just wanna know if you have proof that I'm wrong

[half zephyr]

I don’t do the technical stuff

[brisk trail]

ok

who can I talk to about it

[half zephyr]

Plum I guess since that’s who the first convo was with

[brisk trail]

ok

[half zephyr]

I was just trying to find it again

[brisk trail]

plumfox?

[half zephyr]

It’s why I wasn’t responding to you

Do you have any idea how much text I had to look through even with search

[brisk trail]

again I don't mean to discredit you and I don't mean to come off as aggressive, I just really value accurate knowledge, idk, thats just me

was it plumfox?

[half zephyr]

Plum will likely not be up rn cuz he’s American

Ye

[brisk trail]

oh true

I'll msg him later then

again sorry if I came off as aggressive

was not intended

[half zephyr]

The 3 question marks were a bit much, but other than that meh

[brisk trail]

apologies

[half zephyr]

I just know that it’s the one you’re least likely to get, even if you take every chance to get a chaos gate

With other legendary boons I’ve had them by the third meeting with the god in question

Aka before fury sisters

I’ve also been lucky in that I’ve seen chaos legend 5-6 times in just 135 runs

There’s people that’s gone over 200 runs not seeing it

[brisk trail]

I'm gonna assume that the data from the reddit post is correct (for now), I feel like people saying that it's rarer than others is because you require 2 chaos boons in one run, which naturally, rare, of course can can spawn more from charons well

I got it 2 runs in a row O_o

[half zephyr]

I get 2 chaos gates quite often

[brisk trail]

like natural spawning?

[half zephyr]

The annoying part is that they like to spawn in right in front of Hermes or when I get an Erebus gate I wanna visit

[half zephyr]

Yes

[brisk trail]

wow, lucky

[half zephyr]

I don’t really buy them that often

Not unless I really want a collection run with multiple reward bonuses

[brisk trail]

I usually buy them

I think it's worth

[half zephyr]

I had 3 or 4 in a run where I didn’t buy them

That was an interesting run

[brisk trail]

O_o

wow

[half zephyr]

Double cursed

Never take speed down while you have reduced dash

So slow

[brisk trail]

I've had less than 10 natural doubles in ~100 runs

thats why I said they're rare

thats just my experience

[half zephyr]

I get them all the time

[brisk trail]

as I do not know the spawn chance and requirements

lucky

[half zephyr]

It’s rarer for me to have a run with no chaos gate

Or just 1

Guess they just like me

[brisk trail]

wish chaos gates liked me ;m;

@grand crystal hello, are you online

it said online when I found his name but not anymore rip

[half zephyr]

Try in some hours

[hardy geode]

ok looks like excluding Chaos there are 165 different boons across all 9 gods

[brisk trail]

nice

[sharp dust]

having to memorize all the legendary/duo effects + their reqs is so hard :<

and in the end they won't drop anyway when u need them to :/

[brisk trail]

if ever in doubt, check codex

[half zephyr]

Just use the boon list in the codex

You can access it when you’re selecting boons & any other time during a run & outside

Maybe not during combat - haven’t checked

[brisk trail]

as long as you're not in combat, you can check it

[half zephyr]

That answers that

[brisk trail]

if you try during combat, a little X pops up above your head

[sand nest]

i'm so pissed... just lost the worst possible run ever

i was just one click away from killing him but he just swung his spear

urghhh

crystal beam without tracking

had demeter keepsake on the entire time

didn't even see her more than twice

raging so hard

[vapid narwhal]

oof that sounds a tough run

[sand nest]

i thought i could make it

urgh.. my most brutal loss i think

[half zephyr]

So.. the keepsake only has 1 charge

You can just take it off after you’ve met the god in question

You are only “guaranteed” that 1 encounter

And it doesn’t get the charge back by moving to a new area (ex. Tart>Aspho)

If you look on the keepsake while holding it before using, it’ll have the number 1 on it

That’s to show it hasn’t been used yet >.<

[sand nest]

OMG

i'm a fool

been playing wrong this whole time

lmao

[high island]

She'll be guaranteed to show up whenever there are boon reward exits until you pick up a boon from her. That will use up the charge. So if you skip her for some other reward, you'll keep the charge.

You'll get the rarity bonus as long as you hold the keepsake, though.

[half zephyr]

Ye

But it’s not good for making her appear more

[torn heath]

oh my god I had such a good build but had to come off and it didn't save for some reason

[fast laurel]

when should i use megeara summon?

[brisk trail]

whenever you need it. I spend it on bosses and minibosses usually

[half zephyr]

I tend to use my companion in final styx encounters

[brisk trail]

I know what than says

[oblique sun]

how did you guys find hades

lots of people probably just already played SGG but i'm curious about the others

[brisk trail]

like discover that the game existed?

[oblique sun]

yeah i guess

[brisk trail]

for me, I think it was on my steam front page way back in very early access

[oblique sun]

i found it through aliensrock50 lol

[brisk trail]

I saw it was from supergiant and I had already played bastion which I really liked so I thought hey lets give this a shot

I only played 7 hrs in EA and then I came back to the game around a week ago

[undone oar]

gremlin zag

[oblique sun]

yes

[undone oar]

i didn't know i need a gremlin zag in my life

[oblique sun]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/768066940035661844/827868461396394004/unknown.png

have another one

#fan-works message

and the 2 last images of this one^

[brisk trail]

I feel like rail takes inspiration from fang repeater

sword from war machete

spear from brushers pike

bow from breakers bow

also the bows from both games have the powershot mechanic

so you can see where SG recycled concepts from bastion

which I think is rly cool

[half zephyr]

https://youtu.be/p70wcn0vr2k

[brisk trail]

this is amazing

[oblique sun]

yes

sorry forgot to link it

[tight cave]

Legally Blonde is so unapologetically cheesy, definite guilty pleasure of mine.

[boreal plume]

Hades is a nice game
It resembles the characters of the underworld as I would never imagine them.
As a Greek person, I approve.

[brisk trail]

pog

Ok

Bois

Im BACK!

Back for more!

[boreal plume]

noice

[brisk trail]

Time for a sub15 run

[boreal plume]

it is

[brisk trail]

ok one more time how do i get fourth aspect of shield? I have the spear one but do I actually have to unlock the spear one?

nah

😳

Oooooh

Ok

ok so spend 5 blood on shield apsects then I think u talk to chaos

idk check the pins in #h1-story-discussion

can it be on aspect of zagreus?

ye

POG i think i got it alreaady then

noice

[shell prism]

Guys, I beat Hades, should I go on with the game or do I stop?

[gray apex]

Beating hades is like finishing the tutorial

[cerulean ferry]

||If you want the true ending you gotta beat him 10 times, after that there's an epilogue || There's so much more to the game so definitely continue

[half zephyr]

Ye, you have to unlock GY

But you don’t need to spend more then those first 3 blood on it

[brisk trail]

Oh wait wut i have to unlock th espear thing?

[half zephyr]

Ye

[brisk trail]

oh ok

[half zephyr]

GY is the key to get all the others

[brisk trail]

Gosh darn it my addiction of swearing is hard to contorl

But they should maake vcs so u can talk while ur playing and shiz

[brisk trail]

So I have to actually use 4 titan blood so I actually have it tho

[hollow hawk]

the reasoning from the mods for no vcs, is that theyre much harder to moderate than text channels

[half zephyr]

Not when the server is this size

[brisk trail]

Yea thats faair

[hollow hawk]

also guide to getting all the hidden aspects is pinned in #h1-story-discussion

[half zephyr]

Thought unlocking it was just 3

But ye, you have to spend the amount to unlock

[warped iron]

isn't it 5 to unlock GY

[half zephyr]

It’s been so long I don’t actually remember

Maybe it’s 5

[warped iron]

the requirements say 5 other aspects

[half zephyr]

No

[hollow hawk]

no not that

thats just 5 other aspects unlocked

not 5 titan blood

[half zephyr]

No I’m talking about the price of unlocking the aspect

[warped iron]

yes, so 5 titan blood.

[half zephyr]

No

Once you have it

[warped iron]

oh

3

yes

[half zephyr]

You have to unlock it

[brisk trail]

Huh?

Im confused

[hollow hawk]

how much does it cost to unlock it

[warped iron]

3

I got a little confused

my bad

[brisk trail]

Ok so once I do, I can just get the next aspect for the shield? Or is there somethng else I gotta do

[half zephyr]

There’s 2 types of unlocking hidden aspects

[hollow hawk]

check the pins in #h1-story-discussion

instead of trying to make sense of the mess of a convo here

[warped iron]

yes

[half zephyr]

Ye

Just read that

[brisk trail]

ok

[half zephyr]

So much better

[hollow hawk]

if you have any questions after reading the pinned message, you can ask

[brisk trail]

ok got it

how much is beowulf

[oblique sun]

All hidden aspects are 3 titan blood per level

All other info is on pins of story discussion

[shell prism]

ok thank you all

[shell prism]

ok

[brisk trail]

fun question time: Who r ur favorite gods? Mine has to be a tie between Artemis and Dionysus

[brazen lagoon]

Tough question

[tight cave]

Personality-wise or boon-wise? Same as you if we're talking personality, but Demeter or Artemis for boons.

Artemis is best girl.

[brisk trail]

Personality wise

And THEN Boons, which for me would be Artemis and Athena

Artemis is best girl I agree

[brazen lagoon]

Man idk which ones my favourite

Athena maybe

[tight cave]

Then probably Dionysus, his laid-back attitude and occasionally incoherent ramblings are hilarious.

[brisk trail]

ur naame is Artemis simp lol

[brisk trail]

I streamed hades once for my friend sso they could get a little taste of gameplay and Dionysus popped up and they all started to simp for him

[brazen lagoon]

That is the joke yes

[brisk trail]

Oh

I see

[half zephyr]

Aaaaany god?

[brisk trail]

Yessiiir

[half zephyr]

..

Ma’am*

[brisk trail]

😳 my b

Yes Ma'aaaam

[half zephyr]

Well, then I’d had to say Than or Hades maaaybe

Or Nyxie

[brisk trail]

Than an emo boi

Nyx is cool

I caan't figure her completely out smetimes I rly love her and other times she pisses me off

[half zephyr]

I just love the night & darkness

And I’ve always loved Than & Hades from mythology

I really love Poseidon too, but that’s mostly cuz I love the ocean

[brisk trail]

I did a lot of greek reading for AP Lit this year right and I go from reading about all the terrible things the Gods did like Zeus specificaally and then jumping into this game they're like percieved as the heroes im just sitting here like mHHHHhhHHm

xD

[half zephyr]

If it’s about fighting in the game then idk, Aphrodite?

[half zephyr]

I mean no one likes Zeus anyways

So

He loves himself & believes that everyone else does too & no one is allowed to contradict that

[brisk trail]

Definitely than cos he makes me question my sexuality and I love it 😍

Lmao

Than a hottie emo boy huh

He’s such a babe

[timber dove]

if you replace pierced butterfly do you lose it's bonus?

[half zephyr]

My fave being in the game is Lernie & Cerb

[brisk trail]

Yeah

[half zephyr]

Yup

[timber dove]

😦 bugga

[half zephyr]

Butterfly & plume are both whole run keepsakes

Tooth & cerb collar act the same way I believe

[brisk trail]

Yeah

[half zephyr]

Really, there’s not many where you keep the effect

[brisk trail]

But you can utilise them then take them off

At no penalty

Same with the coin purse

Its just free money then replace it next floor

[half zephyr]

Mom pom you keep the lvl ups, but you won’t get more after ofc

[brisk trail]

You get a lot of use out of mum pom in styx but by them it’s less effective and you’re missing out on acorn

[half zephyr]

I’ve been doing full mom pom runs

Fun times

[brisk trail]

I mean, it works

[heavy hound]

Those are a lot of fun

[half zephyr]

It’s mostly cuz I’ve been wanting to see how I’ll do with whatever gods I’m offered instead of trying to force anything

[brazen lagoon]

Full mom pom runs are great

[brisk trail]

Personally I think it’s overkill but if you’re having fun that’s what matters most :p

[half zephyr]

And so why not use mom pom

[brazen lagoon]

I remember getting my poseidon attack to level 17 once

[brisk trail]

Very nice

Whats the record level

For a boob

[heavy hound]

50+

[brisk trail]

Boon

Phone momemt

[heavy hound]

No don’t edit

[brisk trail]

LOL

[brazen lagoon]

Keep it

For the funny

[brisk trail]

I typo so much on phone

[heavy hound]

^

[brisk trail]

Its like midnight and I’m falling asleep

[half zephyr]

Go sleep

[heavy hound]

Just woke up

[brisk trail]

Ok gn guys

[half zephyr]

[heavy hound]

Good night!

[brazen lagoon]

Gn sleep well

[half zephyr]

I have too many emoji

[brisk trail]

[half zephyr]

Not enough time to use

[shell prism]

Dionysus

[timber dove]

right, I have never beaten zues. Now I have the butterfly at 12%, do I keep it or take the acorn?

[brisk trail]

Zeus?

[timber dove]

sorry hades

also does the pierced buttery fly have a max?

or does it not work in the tunnel in stix?

[rare hull]

Uncle Poseidon❤️ Boon wise and personality wise. I could add Ares and Hermes for Personality wise, as well

[rare hull]

I don't think it has a max cap, however you'll unlock an achievement when you get it to +30% attack

[timber dove]

yeah, pierced butteryfly does not work in the tunnels!

[rare hull]

Aye aye

But I think you can get +2% in the last room of the tunnels?

I think that counts as a regular encounter

[timber dove]

AHH only he last room, got it

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!

https://imgur.com/a/80MK4gx

https://imgur.com/a/rDlHaYU

[rare hull]

Awesome!!!

🥳 🥳 🥳

Is that.... Greater Recall I see???

[heavy hound]

Wasn’t even close

[timber dove]

not sure

already moved to the next area can not check

[heavy hound]

No greater recall

[rare hull]

Then? What's that glowy boon?

[heavy hound]

No prerequisite even if they got a styx hermes

[heavy hound]

Dark thirst?

[rare hull]

No no

Right next to Dionysus boon

[heavy hound]

The one the marker is on?

There are no demeter boons

[rare hull]

Sorry sorry

The aid

Right next to aid

Dionysus changed to Demeter, my bag my bad

[heavy hound]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/826957258160209920/827915543859298314/image0.png

This one?

[rare hull]

Next to that one

[heavy hound]

Ok that’s rush delivery

[rare hull]

Ahh

Dang I haven't got any of Hermes' Legendary boons 😔

[heavy hound]

Oof

[rare hull]

102 runs in. Finished even the Epilogue. Zero luck even with Plume on multiple times

I got Epic Ares' aid + Vicious cycle once! Dang it was awesome!!! Took half of Papa's healthbar with a greater call

[hollow hawk]

i dont think i have finished a run with greater recall lol

[rare hull]

Also, what's the pre requisite for Sisyphus' quest? Haven't finished that one either

[hollow hawk]

i once got it on 32 heat, then i died like in the next chamber

[heavy hound]

Yeah lol same I’ve died too much

I’ve finished many with bad news

[hollow hawk]

have sisyphus at locked heart, and unlock admin chamber

[hollow hawk]

yep same

because of dio beo

[heavy hound]

Dio beo gang

[hollow hawk]

and hunting blades

[heavy hound]

Lol

[tight cave]

I remember I managed to get Greater Recall once when I wasn't even trying 😆

[rare hull]

Both are done. Still haven't got the quest from him:(

[hollow hawk]

huh

i think it has something to do with nyx as well

[timber dove]

took me 37 attempts in total

[hollow hawk]

wiki might have more info

idk

[rare hull]

I'll look into Wiki thanks

[hollow hawk]

@timber dove btw, since youre still new to the game, this channel may contain spoilers

so you might wanna stay in #h1-for-new-players

[rare hull]

Only Sisyphus' Chthonic Companion is left

[timber dove]

ehh all good

[rare hull]

Hmmm so I'm done with every other thing except having a conversation with Nyx about Sisyphus.

And only Demeter, Hermes and Sisyphus are left to bond with

[hollow hawk]

pray to RNGesus that nyx decides to have that convo

[heavy hound]

I have 3 bonds rn

Wait 4

Hades, Persephone, achilles, artemis

[hollow hawk]

fr? did you never do the epilogue?

[heavy hound]

No..

[smoky igloo]

so to do the epilogue i gotta have bonds with everyone

got it

[hollow hawk]

pengy thats it

youre getting blocked

[brazen lagoon]

Smhsmh

Disgusting

[hallow peak]

I haven’t done the epilogue yet

But thats only because I got good

So I took the training wheels off and went to my other save

Which is sorta fresh

But ill work my way up in no time

[half zephyr]

Wdym?

Just trying from start without the newbie death runs?

[heavy hound]

I just never felt the need to do it

I just did gamer stuff

[hollow hawk]

2 blocked messages

[heavy hound]

[hallow peak]

Turned off god mode

I had a save where I got far through the story to the epilogue with god mode

And another where it was fairly new and just vanilla

Like I hadn’t bought the contractors improved desk yet

[half zephyr]

You could’ve just turned off god mode on the first file tho

But you wanted new file beginning I guess

[digital python]

i finally unlocked aspect or arthur and I wasnt rlly liking it on my first run cuz it just plays rlly different compared to the other aspects but then RNGesus decided to bless me and I kept getting nothing but the best boons.

like the game was like no you are GOING to like this aspect

[half zephyr]

Heh

I love Arthur for how easy it is

It’s like my fun aspect

[digital python]

I found the slower attack speed weird but got used to it

[half zephyr]

I don’t really notice it

I either dash attack or spam special

[digital python]

I did totally mess myself up by chosing a hammer upgrade that made it much harder to use but I got lucky at styx and I was able to get rid of it

[half zephyr]

What upgrade?

I love getting cursed slash myself

[digital python]

the one that makes u dash forward when u special

[half zephyr]

Be a self healing tank

[digital python]

so I'd try to place down the aura in a very specific place but kept on moving out of that spot

[half zephyr]

Ah, don’t see it that often

[digital python]

I only took it cuz of the prophecy

[half zephyr]

Have you discovered the other use for the sigil yet?

[digital python]

sigil of the dead?

[half zephyr]

No, Arthur sigil

[digital python]

no idk what ur talking abt

[half zephyr]

It turns off ground traps

Disabled them

[digital python]

:0

whaa

[half zephyr]

And let’s you walk on lava if the sigil is on top of lava

[digital python]

Oh my god that sounds amazing hw in the world do I get that

I could finally do the extreme measures hydra fight without getting my feet burnt like an idiotb

[half zephyr]

You already have it?

The sigil is the mark on the ground when you use the Arthur special

[digital python]

ohhh

I'm stupid

[grand shale]

arthur ganggg

if you complain about arthur being bad cuz its slow im sorry but you may need a doctor

[errant raft]

Does Exit Wounds trigger with Stygian Soul running out?

[grand shale]

ooo good question actually

I wouldnt think so but then again i dont tend to use stygian soul that often

[errant raft]

It does not seem to run. Shame. Stygian Soul is my go to for chill runs when I am not tryharding high heat

*does not seem to work

[half zephyr]

It should?
So long as it’s a lodging cast

[errant raft]

Artemis Cast. I throw 3 casts (Arte legendary), do nothing, wait it out, no damage is dealt.

[half zephyr]

Uhm..

[errant raft]

Oh wait, it does work.

[half zephyr]

Idk, i can’t find anything saying it shouldn’t work

[errant raft]

It just takes longer.

My bad.

So I either need to wait the default dislodge duration (ten seconds?) or use the sword special right

[half zephyr]

I only use Stygian myself so I feel like it’s been working

[half zephyr]

Poseidon?

[errant raft]

yeah

[half zephyr]

Suuuure

I don’t know how Poseidon works sorry

[errant raft]

15 seconds actually, huh

[hollow hawk]

Yes

[errant raft]

Thanks.

[steady sierra]

YOO

Artemis is coming in clutch for the meme beam

Fully Loaded 😳

[brisk trail]

anybody have any recommendations for when im investing my titan blood in aspects?

[grand crystal]

ummm what weapons were you thinking??

[brisk trail]

mainly shield and maybe sword too

[grand crystal]

ok so both of sword are fairly cheap and super good so :3

and for shield i think zeus is the better choice but thats me

its overall cheaper since chaos needs a lot more love

[brisk trail]

im assuming the last aspect is unlocked after fully upgrading all previous ones?

[half zephyr]

No

[grand crystal]

umm no thats a whole other thing

[brisk trail]

oop ok

[half zephyr]

Not exactly

[brisk trail]

makes sense

alright dont tell me then :P

[half zephyr]

You do have to invest in other aspects for it tho

[brisk trail]

ill figure it out eventually by playing :D

[grand crystal]

i was just typing it out ;w;

[brisk trail]

LOL

im sorry 😭

[half zephyr]

[grand crystal]

ok tbh its something you wont know how to exactly without being told tbh

like

[half zephyr]

Don’t be

[brisk trail]

alright threw my blood into aspect of zeus, lets see how this goes

eyo wtf why my shield a ufo now

[half zephyr]

When you want to know, just go to #h1-story-discussion & look in the pinned comments

[brisk trail]

ok bet thanks for the tip!

[half zephyr]

All of the last aspects have individual spoiler tags

[brisk trail]

bois i literally got a UFO now yall aint got nothing on me 😎 😎 😎

[half zephyr]

Cuz IT’S BEYBLADE!!

[grand crystal]

yea

[brisk trail]

LET IT RIP

[grand crystal]

build zeus on it

[brisk trail]

i love this LMAO

[grand crystal]

zeus on zeus is crazy

[half zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/phi-gif-phoenix-white-hair-revive-phoenix-dead-phoenix-gif-19580706

[grand crystal]

ME is also a trip

[half zephyr]

Zeus shield in a nutshell

[brisk trail]

do aspects have like special combos with specific boons? do they like combo well with the god that their aspect is named after? so aspect of demeter combos well with demeter boons

or is it more complicated than that and you just have to know the game

and figure out what comboes well with each style

[grand crystal]

oh its more than that but the zeus with zeus is a funny coincidence

[half zephyr]

Beyblade is great with Zeus

I’m not so sure Poseidon is great with Poseidon

[brisk trail]

LOL fair enough

[half zephyr]

And you can’t even do Hestia

[brisk trail]

ok i see

[brisk trail]

watch me 😎 ill make it happen anyways

[grand crystal]

yea like pos sword just take a lodging cast and get exit wounds

thats the general setup

[half zephyr]

[grand crystal]

hades spear is just go for damage

[brisk trail]

OOP

i didnt realise

sorry guys

[grand crystal]

hera is good with most casts

[half zephyr]

My tip for beyblade is this - get support fire

[grand crystal]

😔

[brisk trail]

oh i love support fire

heck yeah

[grand crystal]

and hestia goes off with arte/aphro

[half zephyr]

Oh, you will love it even more with beyblade

[brisk trail]

forgot to equip my chaos egg and the first encounter already has a chaos gate

[half zephyr]

Just do it

[brisk trail]

alright bet

[grand crystal]

yea just take it

[half zephyr]

I don’t use chaos egg anymore

It’s not like a gate takes a lot of hp

[grand crystal]

ive started just doing like 20ish heat and not caring

and im doing fine

[brisk trail]

eyo holup what if i get deflect on my special

is it just a flying deflecting shield

[grand crystal]

yea

[brisk trail]

eyo BRB lemme COP THAT

[grand crystal]

ight

like for zeus shield i like either flat damage or zeus

[half zephyr]

Blegh Athena

[brisk trail]

also early game what do you guys recommen are the easiest like heats to deal with

[half zephyr]

And on Zeus special

[brisk trail]

like they add the least difficulty to the runs

[half zephyr]

Sad

[grand crystal]

lemme type a bit out

[brisk trail]

alright bet

[half zephyr]

TD if you spend less then 36 mins pr run

[brisk trail]

sheeesh just realised half of the entire dev team is in this discord

yeah so far ive used the one that caps it at 9 mins per world, and the one that adds 2 extra hits to them, those ice blue hearts, and the one that gives bosses an extra special move

so im at 4 heat rn

[half zephyr]

BP is fun

MM can be tedious but is usually just fun

[grand crystal]

tight deadline: just beat the game in under 36 minutes and you can do td1 ez
em1-2: depends on how you feel about bosses but these are easy and dont matter after you pass them
damage control: easiest with a weapon like rail or fists, not that hard at all
benefits package: bp1 is ez bp2 can kill you
Convenience fee, jury summons, calisthenics program: all just spillover imo. not hard at all

[half zephyr]

EM is always fun until 4

[grand crystal]

yea middle management is also easy

[half zephyr]

Then it’s complicated feelings

[brisk trail]

why BP1 so chill but BP2 just like na bro youre dying today

alright thanks for the tip though ill try those out on my next runs!

[grand crystal]

yea lol it hurts

like

high damage seeking dracons when you dont have a deflect 😔

[half zephyr]

I love them both

[grand crystal]

or like the damage control bp thing and duplicate on some numbskulls

its painful

like as long as you arent unlucky bp2 is fun

i just stop taking god trials

[half zephyr]

I still find it fun

I don’t

[solid shell]

Rama boon setups?

[half zephyr]

@grand crystal

Your territory

[grand crystal]

wut

oh

umm

attack: aphro/arte
special: zeus/dem/dio/ares
cast: lodging for boiling to prock
dash: athena(survivability)/arte(damage)
call: whatever really :/

for mirror

[deep ibex]

dash no poseidon?

[grand crystal]

id say
pride > legacy
family favorite = privileged status imo(depends on heat)
shadow presence > fiery

thats really the main things

boiling > the other one

[modern garnet]

The thing with rama is you want boons that will increase attack damage, for synergy with the bow effect

Doing more damage is what rama is good at

[half zephyr]

My last Rama run I had a revelation about how to make it more enjoyable for me

I just ignore the attack & focus on special

I accidentally ended up with a real strong Zeus special build somehow

[grand crystal]

ahh yea zeus on special is fun

i havent done ares on it but it sounds conceptually good

[half zephyr]

I had the legendary, over 80+ on the range one

[grand crystal]

you lose shared suffering ;w;

[half zephyr]

I had extra lightning

And jumps

[grand crystal]

you arent using half the weapon ;w;

[half zephyr]

And I had sea storm

[half zephyr]

But I killed them faster just using the special

And I had relentless volley

[grand crystal]

h-how

[half zephyr]

So my special just hit everything

And then I had jolted too

[grand crystal]

people dont get sub 10's on rama with only special :/

hell special is really only used to proc ps

[half zephyr]

I could fire off more specials then i could do an attack

And I didn’t get hit too often since I didn’t have to wait for attack to load

It was just lots of lightning everywhere

[half zephyr]

Idk, it just happened

[grand crystal]

😔

as long as you found a way to like the weapon

[half zephyr]

I’ll have to test again next time to be sure I guess

[hollow hawk]

Special only rama is fun

[solid shell]

What is boiling?

[grand crystal]

boiling blood

+% damage if a cast is lodged into them

[gray apex]

Boiling blood is mirror upgrade that amplifies Special and Attack dmg dealt to enemies with a cast in them, if you have a Dionysis ,Demeter, or Ares cast this effect is gone since those dont lodge into enemies

[grand crystal]

the mirror thing

ats a global buff i think

not just attack and special

[gray apex]

It's only attack and special iirc

[grand crystal]

ahh ok yea youre right

my bad

[hardy geode]

I just finished a run with Beowulf, Dionysus cast, and greater recall, but the permanent record doesn’t appear to show greater recall

Also, the security log shows that my cast was trippy shot when it should be trippy flare since it was aspect of Beowulf

[steady sierra]

huh, I just realized that the House theme has elements of Orpheus’ songs, huh 🤔

[solid shell]

HADES GETS A CALL?

i paused the fight what is going on

Cerberus?

What the hell

[loud sleet]

Hmm

[solid shell]

That was wild

I finished the fight

[loud sleet]

Is that from extreme measures?

[solid shell]

Yeah

[loud sleet]

Ahh

[solid shell]

I finally decided huh

Lemme do all the qay

[loud sleet]

Cerberus is in the fight?

[solid shell]

And he pulled out cerberus like ot was nothing

[loud sleet]

Holy god

[solid shell]

It was like a call

I mean an aid

Cerberus art popped up like it was an olympian call

And he took mey entire healthbar

[oblique sun]

@solid shell it was actually a companion summon

[solid shell]

THERE'S A 3RD PHASE?

[oblique sun]

at least, i think

[solid shell]

WHAT

[oblique sun]

AHAHA

I THOUGHT YOU FINISHED THE 3RD PHASE ALREADY

HAVE FUN

[loud sleet]

OOF

[gray apex]

lol

[solid shell]

WOW

OK

I GOT

I GOT CREAMED

[loud sleet]

Pmfao

[cerulean ferry]

At least you got to hear the sick music

[solid shell]

he was on a sliver of health

Like

One more jit from rama

I got reckless and tried to end it

I had no more dd and 50 health

[loud sleet]

Oof

[oblique sun]

that's a oneshot

rip

oop

[solid shell]

😔

I had a stroke when his healthbar refilled
