About 15% or 20% health left this game is really great I know i love it now

#

Although I am using god mode

#

So maybe this game is not as fun, without it

high island
#

You'll get better, and Zagreus will get stronger with mirror upgrades and stuff. squirtnya

inner field
#

Yeah I like roguelites, at least really great ones, I just got done with Hollow Knight, I did 100% but the few bosses that were left were not worth the frustration so I deleted the game

#

I just saw the animated trailer for Hades

#

How weird would it be if Netflix did a Hades anime?

sturdy sphinx
#

Lol

#

Yeah hollow knight is fun. But I think I like the single run, different build vibe of hades more. Also the dialogue and characters are all great

proven brook
#

I love how it's easy to beat the boss on the first try, but then add another try and I struggle.

#

😂

#

yea lmao

#

uh how come i just had one of those green circle wave things in the asterius fight

#

i thought those are hads only

#

theseus and asterius

signal aspen
#

its a thing

grand crystal
#

oh the wave thing

#

yea thats a thing

brisk trail
#

weird

#

never had that

grand crystal
#

its a way the devs shook up the fight a bit

signal aspen
#

asterius runs into his shield and then it goes boom

grand crystal
#

it only happens after their relationship arc

#

iirc

brisk trail
#

oh that would explain it

#

Does anybody know the chance to get the solo asterius fight before the duo fight? I'm trying to get the aspect of gilgamesh.

at what point does hades grant permission to use mort against him?

Dang Sisyphus is jacked. Pushing a boulder up a hill must be a great workout

It's in the Companions wiki entry.

I love how the 3D models up close are just close enough to the character portraits to be recognizable but at the same time look kind of.. off. Like some sort of Hades knockoff. It's excellent modelling work, don't get me wrong, but quite obvious that it was done by a different artist once you see up close.

tight cave
#

(Also when you unlock it I'd recommend using Batty, Meg's companion, for the Hades fight, trying to use Mort can lead to him going impervious before damage is done in some cases)

ivory spire
#

Ok, I’m playing with a controller and when I press A on something it looks like it pins it, what does that really mean?

narrow hemlock
#

you mean on your boons? its mostly just for showing off for screenshots, it doesnt serve any gameplay purpose

brisk trail
#

why are there some olympian gods that I cannot gift even though in the codex theres no lock in the way

#

oh you know what i think its cause literally the second i asked zeus got unlocked nvm

ivory spire
#

Aww

#

I was hoping to keep the boons after death

narrow hemlock
#

unfortunate autocorrect im assuming 😅

ivory spire
#

Not a fan of the spear

#

Who are the parents of Aphrodite, according to the game's lore? The wiki page lists all the other Olympians as her relatives-in-law, and it didn't mention her as an Olympian relative earlier, but I want to hear a more or less official opinion on that matter.

brisk trail
#

quick question, if i hit an enemy and it has damage control, does it still count as undamaged until i tap into its health?

#

or does fiery presense just get completed negated by damage control

vagrant flint
#

Yes, you only receive a damage bonus on that enemy when it's shield are down and you damage their hp

#

Not the shields

narrow hemlock
vagrant flint
#

Hm

#

Would it be safe to assume that her relationship with the Olympians is based on the mythology then?

#

A weird question but still

narrow hemlock
#

i think they would prefer to leave it up to the interpretation of the player, judging by how they chose to address her

vagrant flint
#

Yeah, I thinks that's a good point

narrow hemlock
narrow hemlock
#

its just a collection of dialogue but i think the differences are pretty noticeable

modern garnet
#

Damn.... aphrodite is MEAN to artemis

#

Really disrespectful

#

Like, the chat with Athena suggests a constant back and forth of barbs, but with artemis... that's just bullying

hollow kettle
#

this is the second time that I've lost a death defiance and gone "urgh, damn it" IRL right as Zagreus goes "urgh, damn it" in game lmao

#

we r in sync

modern garnet
#

Woah.. you're gamer

brisk trail
#

how come hades is shielding outside of his like 3 phases? usually he only gets his shield 4 times during the fight at set health levels

neon gate
#

Are there brimstones? If he summons brimstones they'll shield him

peak forum
#

Question since I’m still new to this genre. Are you expected to beat the whole escape in a single go without dying where if you die you start frim Tartarus all over, or are there safe points later on?

narrow hemlock
#

all in one go for a complete run

peak forum
#

To see the ending basically?

#

Because I beat the first boss and still got sent back to the house.

narrow hemlock
#

from the start of the run to the end of the run, yeah. which may sound daunting but once you get the hang of how the game works, getting through tartarus can take like ~8 minutes (avg), a full run averages about 35 min or so

peak forum
#

So tartarus is pretty darn long huh.

narrow hemlock
#

not really, no

peak forum
#

How many levels are there?

narrow hemlock
#

average play speed is less than ten minutes, a speedrunner can get through it in just a few minutes. there's 4 biomes

peak forum
#

It took as you say about 8 minutes to beat tartarus.

narrow hemlock
#

the second biome can be either fast or slow depending on the kind of room setup you get, i find getting a lot of the larger rooms slows me down quite a bit because of how mobile many of the enemies are. third biome will take the longest to get through and often tends to be a progression block for many players. fourth biome is pretty small

peak forum
#

Okay, pretty cool, good to know how the game works.

narrow hemlock
#

it may be a bit discouraging initially to die and have to start over, but unlike other games of the genre, you're not really punished for losing a run, due to how the narrative works. you have your meta resources that you keep after runs, and you come back and get more story (and in some cases gameplay content) to unlock between runs

#

even the characters treat your deaths as part of the nature of things happening around the world so while it may be disappointing to lose a run you were working a good build on, it never fully feels like a loss

What's kb

narrow hemlock

knockback im assuming

steady sierra
#

Somehow I got two duo boons in the same set

#

from Aphrodite/Zeus

#

and they’re both not the greatest

#

I got hunting blades and vicious cycle pog

craggy barn
#

amazing build, horrible gameplay. this is why i don't like hera

steady sierra
#

I love hera

rare hull
#

The might of the huntress

steady sierra
#

Just won me this run

#

Hera is like Beowulf with more control

craggy barn

hera is worse beowulf but you didn't hear that from me 🚶‍♂️

steady sierra
#

Hera with blade rift 😩

craggy barn
#

hera with slicing shot?

#

I personally got a liking for Chiron aspect. It's just so cool with Dio or Poseidon special

steady sierra
#

Shield sucks but you didn’t hear that from me

#

yes

craggy barn
#

ehhhhh

rare hull
#

Or Demeter's

craggy barn
#

lodging casts work way better in general

steady sierra
#

in specific Hunting Blades

vale pecan
#

I'm a simple man, I see a Demeter boon i enter that room

steady sierra
#

I’m a simple man, I never enter Athena rooms

rare hull
#

I'm a simple man, I chose Poseidon in every Trial of the Gods when he's there

steady sierra
#

I hate her boons even if they’re good

craggy barn
#

hunting blades is not exactly the best build choice for hera, for that it's really better to use poseidon or achilles

vale pecan
#

hermes/athena are those rooms you enter for that one boon and nothing else

craggy barn
#

"hermes sucks"

steady sierra
#

every Hermes boon good

#

Only one I don’t like is his legendary funnily enough

vale pecan
#

Greater Recall (auto cast jewel return) or Bad News? (50% more cast damage to foes without jewels in em)

steady sierra
#

Greater Recall

#

That’s the only legendary I’ve seen of his 🤷‍♂️

vale pecan
#

ah cause it require the alt mirror upgrade: || Stygian Soul Your Cast Ammo regenerates, but no longer drops. Each rank makes this 1 Sec. faster. ||

steady sierra
#

mhm

#

Makes sense

sacred tendon
#

do the darkness from bosses (when replaying a "heat" you already beat them on with that weapon) scale with heat?

hollow hawk
#

No

sacred tendon
#

or is there no purpose in using the pact of punishment if you're not at a "new" difficulty?

#

so there's no purpose in farming darkness at a heat other than 0? (other than finding that some of the pact's clauses help you, like being too used to the Extreme measure versions)

modern garnet
#

Speedrunners apparently like to use em2, fo2, td1 to make the game faster

#

But yeah the game doesn't reward you for playing same heat you already beat with that weapon

steep burrow
#

I mean I guess you can just tailor the game to the level of challenge you want by repeating certain heats in differing combinations for fun

brisk trail
#

Nah, skip TD1 unless you're doing RTA.

#

Survival rooms (which I think only spawn in Tartarus, now that I'm thinking about it) pause the in-game timer.

restive pilot
#

Do I get higher rarity boons on higher heat? or is it placebo

brisk trail
#

Probably placebo.

craggy barn
#

heat has no effect on the stuff you get aside from approval process and bounties

vale pecan
#

By the time you hit heat/higher heat you have probably maxed out one side of the mirror upgrades (except the fated authority uses) so you will see better rarity booms more often from that.
Tl;dr mirror upgrades go brrrrrrrrrrt

high island

Confirmation bias. Placebo effect means that your belief has an actual effect, but it doesn't in this case. dusa

Or like, you have 2 shop doors

Charon usually shows up halfway through a stage and once more right before the boss

Never seen it or heard it mentioned

right before the snake fight you get a choice of two rooms

Neither of them will have enemies

hallow peak

Unless you took the opposite one

Charon’s shop is signified by a coin bag with a skull on it

Usually the one at the end before a boss has his shop as a choice or the other one is usually a centaur heart, power pom, or boon

#

Get better boons and stuff

#

Have a better head for builds

grand crystal
#

theres a less blunt way to put things :/

#

take your time with him

#

after you beat asterius you dont need to rush

hybrid elm
#

jajajaja tks you both

grand crystal
#

when he's about to throw his spear, dash to the side or go behind a pillar

#

he'll show his back for a bit and you can get some damage in

#

for his spin you need to dash 1-2 times to the side

#

when he summons the god at half, thats even more reason to be careful

hallow peak
grand crystal
#

he'll summon any god you dont have a boon from

#

some are easier than others

hybrid elm
#

if i take the boon that bounces the enemy's attacks also bounces the spear and hurts theseus?

grand crystal
#

but if you can try to burst him while he's in the summon animation do it

hybrid elm
#

sorry, i know my english is pretty bad, i'm from colombia xd

grand crystal
hallow peak
#

I dash sometimes horizontal or vertical but I didn’t know horizontal only works

hybrid elm
#

tks papi

Ohhh WOW I cleared level 3 without any problems first try

The thing i find with champions fight is that once you beat the bull you can slow down a lot

Is temple of styx the last chamber?

modern garnet
#

It's the last area yeah

inner field
#

Interesting, I mean the map makes it seem weirdly like a lot more content

I guess there are things to do after this temple?

modern garnet

?

warm tide
#

Is crit from artemis good on lucifer's attack? have only gone the suggested zeus build

grand crystal
#

theoretically yea, i havent tried it, but if you can get the damage ramping hammer

inner field
#

I died in my first mini chamber ... In the temple

#

That's pretty hard with the poison rats

warm tide
#

curious how often the crits can proc with the laser

modern garnet
#

Yeah learning to deal with styx enemies is rough at first

#

Crits proc often but damage is low until you get the hammer

warm tide
#

which hammer you referring to?

modern garnet
#
Concentrated Beam: Your Igneus Eden Attack damage to a foe ramps up +100% faster. 
warm tide
#

that's the one I just grabbed :)

modern garnet
#

Neat

inner field
#

Ok when can I upgrade my weapons I have all 6 unlocked

grand crystal
#

i think you need to have done a run with each at least once and make it a certain distance

#

that distance im not too sure of

inner field
#

🧐🧐 r u kidding me?

#

Ok hmmm who are we supposed to give ambrosia too

grand crystal
#

once you give around 6 nectars to the npcs, they'll have a locked heart. that heart can only be unlocked via dialogue and story beats with that npc. once its unlocked you give ambro

#

early game its useless

#

just trade it to blood with the broker

#

but once you get around mid to late at least save a few

inner field
#

Hmmm ok

#

Also I didn't realize my normal attack was OP

#

I just cheesed through hydra with it

inner field
#

What's with the special rat room???

#

It's a tiny rat but he is invulnerable to all my attacks

#

How do I kill him

#

What's his name

#

🐁

#

His health bar is ridiculous

#

It's preposterous

#

What do I do

modern garnet
#

Oh wow you got the boss rat early

#

It's a rare miniboss

#

Just... keep an eye on it, learn what it looks like when it's about to charge

inner field
#

Goddamn it second time in temple today

#

And I get rare boss

#

I don't think I'm gonna survive

My buffs are whack

Nevermind I honestly forgot I had a heal on hit 🎯🎯🎯 buff

#

I cheesed it with full health

Nice

cold mountain
#

hello

#

im just curious if the version 1.0 is the last big update

#

of the game

narrow hemlock
#

there have been bug fixes and some balance changes, but if you're looking for big content updates, that's unlikely to happen. Hades is, as currently stands, a completed experience

cold mountain
#

oh 😦

inner field
#

Damn it all to hell

#

I fed Cebereus early

#

I could have leveled up

#

I'm not ready for the last boss

#

Idk who it is even

cold mountain
#

i mean, is true, hades is a complete game after all, but the game is so good and the story actually makes you believe there is going to be a part 2

#

or something like this

narrow hemlock
#

The devs have said they put everything they had into the 1.0 release, so any hints of continued content wasn't necessarily intentional

#

They may or may not add content. Historically it's unlikely; the only time they have done dlc was for Bastion, and that was a bit of a different situation because it was their first release and published by WB. They haven't said anything and from my observation generally tend to stay quiet about any plans unless they have something to present

cold mountain
#

alright, i see

#

thanks for the info

#

have a good one!

narrow hemlock
#

cheers, you can follow their twitter for any potential news

cold mountain
#

i will follow that page most of the time xD

I’m fairly new to the discord (not hades though) and was wondering what the rank “hades monthly challenge” meant or was?

Every month, someone posts a challenge

They're pinned

Hades second boss am I supposed to hit the green vases????

It's not clear at all

Green vases are traps

So no

There's saves in hades

#

It might be able to recover your run

inner field
#

Nope...

#

Just checked

Idk if its different for you

But I hacked my switch

I play on computer

There's more options for save recovery if you can mess with the files

FINALLY did sub 12 hera

#

maybe i've got gud enough at using it to be able to clear 32 heat now

modern garnet
#

Niice

#

Happy for ya

#

One day I'll give up on lucifer and run only hera

#

But right now I'm only at 6 heat

#

I dunno I just don't like cast weapons very much

#

Feels like I'm really limited in what casts are good

hollow hawk
#

Hera likes poseidon, aphro, dio and Artemis cast

#

Other weapons like Achilles and poseidon sword can play with pretty much any cast

grand crystal
#

posiedon sword likes lodging casts more :3

#

since you can force dislodge, so just take exit wounds and you get nice damage

distant quiver
#

I absolutely hate shielded witches on BP2. Most annoying enemy in the game.

solid elm
#

can anyone help me figure out what i'm doing wrong?

Trying to unlock aspect of lucifer. Have cleared the game several times. have guang yu available, spent blood on exagryph (maxed aspect of zag and lvl 3 aspect of eris), but zeus won't give me the waking words

narrow hemlock
#

the dialogue likely just hasn't cycled through

#

number of game clears don't matter. so long as you've met the requirements to see a certain dialogue, it'll come up eventually. the game only checks that the requirements have been met and places that dialogue in your available pool that can come up when you speak with someone. so long as you're still getting new dialogue everything should be working as intended, you're just unfortunately having bad luck with it

solid elm
#

so best bet is to equip the thunder signet and keep hitting zeus up until he does it then?

narrow hemlock
#

probably. if you don't care about clear streaks you can just continually suicide your runs after speaking with zeus

#

a bit of a hassle admittedly, but a symptom of how the dialogue system is structured

solid elm
#

oof lol

narrow hemlock
#

hopefully it pops up for you sooner rather than later

solid elm
#

well, it popped haha, i had done about 15 runs or so

#

maybe more

narrow hemlock
#

just now?

solid elm
#

yeah lol

#

finally got through the dialogue backlog apparently

narrow hemlock
#

maybe sometimes its true things happen the moment we get frustrated and vent about it 😄

#

oops

solid elm
#

srsly

narrow hemlock
#

i saw it, but yes lmao

#

well there you go then

solid elm
#

haha, thanks. it was just more grinding

#

now i need more blood cause i got frustrated it wasn't triggering and figured i needed to spend 5 on one aspect specifically

narrow hemlock
#

aspect doesnt matter, no, just the hard blood requirement

#

though i get how it feels you may be doing something wrong when it doesnt seem to want to come up

solid elm
#

good to know going forward

narrow hemlock
#

usually bad rng with dialogue more than anything else! but feel free to pop by anytime if something seems stuck peaceborb

peak zealot
#

Just finished a sweet run with achilles spear and ice wine. Dash + 4x cast was dealing over 3000 damage with no crits. More if I got a lucky crit obviously.

#

Its a pretty fun build. Sucks to have to deal with dionysis cast without ice wine though

abstract forge
#

Is hades hard or am i just bad at video games?

modern garnet
#

It's a game where you progress by dying... if you didn't die often then that would be bad design

bright comet
#

is it possible to play tabletop with anyone?

abstract forge
#

i died 50 times and still havent finished a run

narrow hemlock
#

is it possible to play tabletop with anyone?
no, it's just decoration

i died 50 times and still havent finished a run
heya, if the game is giving you trouble, you might try turning on god mode in the pause menu to give you more damage reduction. it starts you at +20% reduction and increases 2% each time you die, until capping out at 80%

peak zealot
#

Is anything in particular causing you problems?

spring valve
#

If you got the rail id recommend you try it with everything zeus on the build, with rockets, it has really helped me run through enemies

#

also try getting some chaos boons that increase special

inner field
#

I got to meet my mom

#

And then I thought cool I can continue to play the game easy peasy

#

Nope

#

There's a challenge list now mandatory Debuffs

#

Suddenly don't feel like playing anymore

#

I'm sure I'm missing out on a bunch of secret items, biomes or game modes now?

#

65hrs on record

gray apex
#

It's not mandatory debuffs, its just for people who'd like the game more challenging and push heat, you can play without it but you'll miss some bounties

#

Some heat options are quite easy and some just take a bit of getting used to, some are terrible ofc but you wont take those until much later like 40+/50+

inner field
#

How do you avoid Debuffs list altogether???

gray apex
#

Just start with 0 Heat

inner field
#

Ooooooo I thought this game was forcing me at first....

gray apex
modern garnet
#

You use the debuffs in order to get more boss loot

i wish i could play this game with all the hype 😦

modern garnet
#

Late night epiphany.... the spear is the best weapon in the game

#

How? Every boss uses a version of the spear

#

Whip is bendy spear

#

Hydra teeth is mouth spear

brazen lagoon
#

Whips aren't sharp

modern garnet
#

And the other two speak for themselves

woven nacelle
brazen lagoon
#

And I don't think the hydra bites people

woven nacelle
brazen lagoon
#

I like to think of it as more of a slam attack

woven nacelle

When it backs up and swoops in

#

If whips aren't sharp then how come they hurt so much

brazen lagoon
#

Whip go zoom

#

Zoom hurty

Only the end is sharp? So like a spear

Dude what

#

Not stealing from Charon ever again

#

Dude hits like an anime isekai truck on steroids and speed

warped iron
#

that's a phrase I haven't seen before

rare gust
#

How else would I describe being impaled by an oar of the stygian boat man, and then having it swung across my face like rotating door

#

His attacks are tricky as well, more treacherous than the laser beams than focus in on you

cerulean ferry
#

He has strong arms. If you can time your dodges he becomes very easy

hollow hawk
#

man's hiding some buff meat under those robes

rare gust
#

Expected nothing less from the man who rows the boat of the dead and damned for all eternity

#

Also, my first hidden aspect, Guan Yu

#

Never thought I'd hear the name again

#

He's one of those highly worshipped and respected generals, for exactly the description of the spear

#

Fought to free the people, that's why the worship him

rare gust
#

Oh cool

#

I can have the Blitz Disc chase me forever

rare gust
#

On that same note, how odd

#

With Zeus' Thunder Flourish, and the Blitz Disc from the Aspect of Zeus, bolts strike me only when the disc returns

#

Not that it's dealing any damage, it only happens when its flying back at me

manic moat
#

the bolts come when the blitz disc hitss oemthing

rare gust
#

Well I'm a thing now

#

But also, it only occurs when it comes back

peak zealot
#

and it only happens sometimes when it comes back

#

must due to how the hitboxes for catching and the timing of the special hits interact. though I'm not sure why it thinks zag is hittable

inner field
#

What do I do after I beat HADES

thorny pumice
#

can someone give me some suggestion, right now im playing the poseidon sword and got daedalus double nova upgrade, any special and cast that i could get?

inner field
gray apex
# thorny pumice can someone give me some suggestion, right now im playing the poseidon sword and...

A lot of casts work well with Poseidon aspect, some of the popular ones are Athena, Aphrodite & Poseidon, the aspect can make any cast usable tho. For special you could use it as an activator for duo boons, for example if you're using Poseidon Cast you can get Artemis Special and aim for Mirage shot, or Aphro Cast + Athena Special for Parting shot, it depends on what you have in mind, you dont have to use the special as a duo activator, you can use the attack instead for example and use the special for a certain debuff like Doom... Or just leave it empty :D

#

Unlodgable casts are less common with Poseidon aspect however, such as Dionysis, Ares and Demeter Cast, they are often used with Achilles Spear for a bigger buff since you dont care about the Dislodging gimmick that Poseidon Aspect offers, still doesnt mean they're bad or a run killer by any means.

Having a colorful lounge is pleasant IMO

Does something happen after I (❤️) everyone to max??

inner field

Heat is to make your game more challenging

paper hill

#

Also, roguelites/likes in general are not meant to feel completed after the first clear. Alternate paths open, more story, weapons, and so on

inner field
#

That's dark.

paper hill
#

well you gotta play to find out lol

inner field
#

I don't normally like rpg elements but honestly this was a smooth experience

#

I really enjoyed dialogue in this game

compact badger
#

There's still plenty of dialog, but you gotta unlock it by doing things like more clears, advancing in relationships, fulfilling prophecies, ...

inner field
#

Sounds like a lot of work for some conversation

#

I'm introvert af, this doesn't appeal to my nature

compact badger
#

Dialogue is the reward for finishing/failing at a run. Gameplay it's what Hades does best for me. Just punching things and breaking pillars

inner field
#

What about the 2 locked doors in the hall

#

When can I open them

#

Part of story or is it a game mode?

compact badger
#

Story content 😉

gray apex
#

You gotta progress further in the game, get more clears, dialogue etc..

#

Getting your first clear is essentially finishing the tutorial lol

When can I give ambrosia to people do I have to max out their heart first?

So basically there's no new biomes I take it

cerulean ferry

Nope, unless you count Erebus

inner field
#

I know there new enemies

#

Erebus?

#

That sounds new

cerulean ferry

You buy the Erebus gates from the contractor and you need a certain amount of heat to enter

I his keep saying heat

#

What is it

cerulean ferry
#

Pact of punishment

inner field
#

Oh ok Debuffs list

gray apex
#

Yes

inner field
#

Why don't yall say Pop

gray apex
#

Because the debuffs that you take give you heat points, when you finish a run, you're finishing at X Heat, so its more popular to say that

inner field
#

What about the tiny heads that appear in my health bar

#

What are those?

paper hill
#

death defiance?

signal aspen

which one?

If you're at Hades then its boiling blood, you take double dmg from him

if the skulls are at the top left of your health then they are extra lives

its a long game

10 to 20 percent of what the game has to offer.

of the story

You're barely scratching the surface here

#

I'm not a completionist

there are 6 biomes

Chaos is a biome?

Skelly is everywhere

bouldy grows legs and takes over chaos

How do I earn that skelly achievement? the one of skelly's prizes

#

I mean I searched for it and in the wiki it says

#

Once the Pact of Punishment is unlocked, set the Heat level to 8 at minimum and complete a run.

beat 8 heat

I did this already

Primordial chaos joked about how if you brought the Chaos Egg to the final fight and actually win

Well it wouldn't do anything, but Chaos would find it funny

At the very second Hades sunk into the River Styx, you can actually hear the laughter

and i can't find it in the wiki

any idea of which guy i have to punch?

this game is way too easy

Chaos too

spring valve

listen for a little ding while you're playing it should indicate a fishing spot

#

Ok

modern garnet
#

Yeah sometimes it's really subtle

#

Especially in shops, easy to miss a fish there

#

I wish the ding was louder

rare gust
#

Aegis, Aspect of Zeus might be my new main weapon

#

Being able to throw out a blender that covers a solid area

#

With sizable control over its trajectory

#

(Not to mention some exploitable cheese)

#

And the fact Aegis is Aegis, the ability to flat out deny damage in almost all instances

modern garnet
#

Don't have to wait for throw to come back in order to block , thats the main plus for me

rare gust
#

Oh and that

#

Didn't expect it, but was certainly surprised to see that

#

Pair it with Dionysus' Cast and you have yourself some stupid damage potential

#

Oop

#

Too bad I wasted my last 5 titan's blood because Skelly pulled a fast one on me

#

Guess I'll be grinding heat on Stygius until I get 5 back

hot pasture
#

Has anyone had their cast boon stop working in the battle with Hades? Was doing a cast build with Achilles Spear... I had Crystal Beam, Glacial Glare, and Crystal Clarity :C

Sounds like a bug, did you save the Boon set you were working with?

hot pasture
#

no, not sure how I'd do that after dying :/

#

The Sentry Cast set I see, don't see how it'd bug

#

Oh well that's simple

#

Did you unlock the Admin room yet?

#

ah yes

In there, try finding that session, then screenshot that

Then ask around somewhere, I just got here myself so maybe try #h1-tech-support ?

yeah I will, I forgot the runs are saved in the admin room

#

Alright best of luck then

hot pasture
#

thanks for the help

gray apex
#

You can report it by pressing f10, it’s more organized for them iirc

rare gust
#

Don't see how the casts would break, those sentry crystals just drop to the ground

#

So you couldn't have had encountered any jank with Achilles' rush

hot pasture
#

yeah... but suddenly I was just shooting regular casts

rare gust
#

Ahh, huh

#

That doesn't sound right alright

hot pasture
#

completely threw me off

I've had some weird effects with crystal cast as well

rare gust

I've only used it two runs, nothing for me to report on my end

modern garnet

Nothing like that but... sometimes the beam goes invisible when the crystal is offscreen when I'm using lucifer

#

And sometimes the beam is just a black line

modern garnet
#

I dont know which companion is the easiest, but I'm gonna guess not antos

#

companions won't really cheese the game either, they have limited uses per run

modern garnet
#

They're definitely great to have

#

Better than having 20 amb lying around

#

I like the mental image of pouring an entire bottle of juice onto a stuffed animal to make it stronger

manic moat
#

it's either that or drinking the ambrosia while talking to the stuffed animal

#

Zag: "I just don't get it you know, she says she likes me, but then she just tries to kill me every other time I see her"
Companion Battie: "...."
Zag: "Of course you think that"

Hehehe

inner field
#

You can use them once per encounter/room right,????

#

It's like a Call

inner field
modern garnet
#

Once per room, x times per run

#

Where x is the level of the companion

#

And you level up the companion by pouring ambrosia on it

#

Max level is 5

inner field
#

W t f I can only use 5* per run

#

That doesn't seem right

#

Whatever I guess it's enough to help with each weapon

#

To beat HADES

#

Boon of athena Last Stand

#

Does this give me 1 death defiance?

#

Or does it increase the health of a death defiance?

#

🥲🥲

modern garnet
#

It gives you one if you've spent one

#

And it increases the health of all of your dds

craggy barn
#

deathless stand/last stand both restore your dds only if you've already spent them

crimson palm
#

I love ||mort||

carmine ravine
#

If u want to increase ur dd limit either use sd or get chaos legend boon

modern garnet
#

Or lucky tooth

inner field
#

Yeah lucky tooth is op

modern garnet
#

LT is cool but if you're having trouble with bosses, acorn is better than it looks

#

If LT scaled with max health then it would be better

#

For the specific case where you have 400 health going into styx

carmine ravine
#

If u like acorn, might as well get athena legend boon

modern garnet
#

I keep missing that one fsr

#

It was my favorite boon in transistor and I'm sure it's good in hades

inner field
#

Ok absolutely cheesed my way to Elesyum

#

With primary weapon

#

Found the hobo lover on the floor

#

I can't give him the nectar or ambrosia

#

W t f is going on?

#

I thought I guys said I could gift him... I already gifted Achilles until the lockheart

#

So both guys don't accept it

crimson palm
#

You need more interactions

#

It’s not an instantaneous thing

inner field
#

I just wanted ant to be my companion now I feel weird for forcing a gay relationship
W t f why... I already interacted plenty

#

This game is good but if it can't help me complete things quickly I can't keep playing

crimson palm
#

Then I don’t know what to say, you can finish the game relatively quickly but if you want story stuff and more companions you need more time to spend on it

inner field
#

Thats a lot of grinding for story chokepoints

#

I just wanted ant he looks like the strongest of the bunch

#

I wanted to win once with every weapon but now idk

#

Also my thumbs hurt to high heaven

delicate heron
#

hades is a narrative driven rouge-lite, it takes time and for me at least that was part of the beauty

#

just gotta deal with the rsi

inner field
#

The nintendo switch is unkind to fingers

crimson palm
#

Yeah I understand that, honestly I just gave up on winning with every weapon, I’ve done it with every weapon except bow but still I stay for story

#

And Thanatos

modern garnet
#

Definitely take a break if it's painful for your hands

inner field
#

Nah it's ok, in gonna delete besides I hit 70+hrs in 4 days

crimson palm
#

That seems, drastic

inner field
#

I really enjoyed the art, super tight, hope we get super giant to make more comic book looking stuff

delicate heron
#

it's such a beautiful game

carmine ravine
#

Wdym comic book looking

crimson palm
#

The style is similar to that of a comic, I’d assume

inner field
#

This game looks pretty like a comic/graphic novel
