Huh.. wait what. You beat them in under 20 sec?
yeah
Damn.. im defintely not there yet
some builds absolutely shred bosses
It depends on the build
Interesting.
literally any hard hitting weapon, artemis, and hunters mark
I havent looked up any build as I like to discover and figure it out my self
And how fast you can complete said build
also spread shot zag rail
I've done lernie runs where lernie spends more time invincible than able to be damaged
@modern garnet Lernie yeah, ive done that
If you’ve completed your build before heroes, then, heroes go down fast
sometimes a build is just a duo and connective tissue
lets say you get 3 boons that make your builld before mid game, Do you try to not get any more boons and jsut get poms to boos those boons?
depends on what boons those are
Depends
In general, when and what boons SHOULD you go for poms?
3 boon run
The two damage boosting boons from Hermes is always nice to have and to strive for
the thing with poms is that going over level 5 is rarely worthwhile
yep
The first few levels are a nice solid upgrade in damage / %
after its not worth it over more utility boons / health
Wait, whats a perfect clear?
finish with full health without an aspect that makes you heal
Oh, it’s not no hit run? I thought it was that
Lol no hit run sounds like literal hell
haelian did that once
So many small things in this game that can just ping you accidentally
Weapon used: Adamant rail with aspect of Hestia.
Keepsake used: Thanatos' Pierced Butterfly (+2% damage for each encounter cleared without taking damage).
FAQ
"Why use any pacts of punishment (heat)?"
We only take pacts that only matter if you actually get hit (i.e. 100% extra enemy damage) and that's so that Erebus gates can be an option throu...
Id die before I did it
Seeing people speed run the game is amazing though
i go into hyperfocus mode every time i do an erebus gate
if i could do that for an entire run that would be sick
Watched a few on YT and it’s so fun to just sit down and watch
I don’t even know why I enjoyed it that much, even when I’m not really a speed runner
Wait.. that rail. How is hee using it like a shotgun?
Thats so cool
Which aspect is that?
there is a hammer upgrade that reduces ammo by 6 but does more damage in a shorter rance and like a spread
he didnt use that
he fires every shot in his gun at once
that is what he used
maybe using scroll wheel bound to shoot?
nah he was just using hestia
and that is not how it works
and he is using controller
If you've got Spread Fire and you hold down Attack while mashing Dash you'll fire off the entire clip very quickly.
wait he isnt even shooting a clip he is just shooting 1 then reload
hestia
yeah
yeah
is demeter flare any good ?
oh i see
no
damn I didnt want to waste my attack slot or dash slot so I just took her flare lol
feelsbadman well I guess I will look out for a purge thingy
does it just drop a crystal when you arrive?
Hey I have a random question
nah, its a explosion that inflicts chill
At what point is an amount of heat no longer considered low heat?
no it does the explosion that inflicts chill
low heat is under 10 heat
high heat is 20+
Hey is it weird that I had forced overtime on max when I played on low heat?
I heard that people usually don't turn it up, or on
And still do
yes
Huh
Well I got used to it I guess
fo is one of the harder heats
I have it on 2 most of the time
just like js and cp
jury summons and calisthenics problem
I got used to those but it is not good
especially together
I... I had jury summons on from the beginning of heats and still do O-o
Am I making it harder for myself
?
same
I keep forgetting that I took of the recharging bonus life and keep wasting it lmao
jury summons 1 is fine
also yes, that is the point
jury summons is the more enemies right? I like that one more things to kill lol
Same
yeah
I run middle management all the time. it makes the fights more fun
also doenst it give more money since you kill more things?
yeah
which ones that
harder mini bosses
adds some spice to the minibosses
oh yeah
I also have it most of the time
mm is a safe option
are athena boons the best?
Depends
deflect is fine
my ideal heat is a heat that wont affect hades at all
i rarely use deflect
athena boons are for cowards
No boons are "the best" it depends on the weapon your using and the aspect and stuff
It just depends
the dash is good
but not much damage coming from athena
only good athena boon i can think of is merciful end
What about the zues Athena one
lightning phalanx is good
And the demeter Athena one is useful
so perfect for me
But situational
i havent actually used stubborn roots before
i have gotten it
but i have not healed from it
athena really solves all your "ranged enemy" problems but i dont have problems with ranged enemies usually
sandwiches
the witches circle?
Yeah
easier than barge ime
i hate the mega gorgon and the skull crusher
The gorgon head with skull crusher?
no, the boat
yeah
The boat is fine, I actually really like the boat
giant gorgon head and skull crusher kicks my ass on MM
The barge of death is nice
I hate how many death defiances they took from me on mm
So annoying
who gave the skull crusher hades's wave >:(
its not actually hades wave because it is purple
Who tf gave the gorgon head nightcrawler abilities ):<
the pact of punishment
and it is your fault for turning it on
;-;
i dont really like aspect of beo TBH
beowulf is great
Beowulf is great, but I don't really use the shield much
really I just dont like the lack of range. maybe its cause im running only 1 dash and no health upgrades but Aegis is my fav weapon but Beo just isnt that fun imo
Beo is tough to get into
I found I just knock them out of the flare also I only got 1 cast since I am tryna escape with the different mirror thingys
It'll feel clunky until you get the hang of it
bruh why 1 dash and no health upgrades
i have never played a beo without dio flare and been like "damn that feels alright"
tho aphro flare can be good
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/469943461370658838/831948273312596049/unknown.png what am i doing wrong 
210 times I think
you are not slapping it hard enough
yeah
200 times
8 titan blood sounds too good
wait what
escape with all the different mirror yokes
I'm guessing they're beating the game with the other side of the mirror for the prophecy
I just puit on all the ones I dont use
oh
I was thinking maybe I will find oneI actually like but no all of them are just pure pain and suffering
most of the yellow mirror upgrades are not that good
most of them at the top
they are situational
usually what i do is all purple except the last 4
any tips for theseus his whole hiding behind his shield thing annoys me so much
I crutch of infinite 1 ups too much
wait for him to attack, dash behind and slap him, during the second phase you should just dodge all attacks and hit him a couple times
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/469943461370658838/831949181391994880/unknown.png this is what i usually rock with and i only mix up stygian soul sometimes
bro i just spam him non stop and only dodge when he turns beyblade
who cares for strategy when you can just waste your DDs on theseus 😍
yeah but then he just does this annoying ass thing where he just sits behind his shield for like 2 minutes refusing to do any attacks and I am just dashing behind him then he turns then dash again and its so boring
I was them to the lava in asphodel
you just have to get closer to him
oh LMAO
he does a spinny attack thing that you can easily dodge
fair enough
anyone else think that they saved all the most annoying things for elysium. Shields, invincibility rocks, theseus
shields and theseus are annoying
the rocks are fine
elysium is 10 times worse than hades himself no cap
fighting theseus is not annoying, but i think his personality annoying
not when there is like 20 shields that make it like impossible to get to him. I think there is a line of code hidden deep in the game that just makes it so it puts the annoying rocks in the most annoying to get to place possible
bro when have you ever gotten 20 shields in one room
exageration but I have gotten like 9 and it was so annoying
i think the most annoying enemies in elysium are the flame wheels
earlier today when i was doing 32 heat i got extra fast, teleporting armored flame wheels
Both great shields and flame wheels are extremely annoying
pain
just buy flame wheel release 4head. I have always wondered just it just replace the spawns with something else
they cost too much and are rare
or like any enemy that would have been flame just ain there
is it possible that i dont have the lyre quest type thing yet?
no
dang
you just have to keep slapping it
it really does take this long
also you need to talk to orpheus lmao
how do i sue the developers
forgot about that part
is what do you get from reuniting orpheus?
no
will there be an exclamation mark when ive played enough?
talk to orpheus mid way
he supposed to compliment you
and i think he needs to give you some tips in the lounge
yeah i think i had that a while back
now it is just a waiting game
i got that the run after I unlocked the lyre
does orpheus give me anythng for reuniting him or should I keep my diamonds
You get to hear in the blood duet which is nice
I still haven't unlocked any companions 😢
flame wheels are just tiny asteriuses without axes
takes a while to get companions, you gotta have a lot of chat
Yeah same technique really just let them run into the wall
Except I haven't fought them on fast mode
i got skelly and im waiting to get megs
i had to fight them with a 40% speed boost
Yeah I chat everybody up all the time but I'm only at like 16 clears
and with benefits package, they were even faster and could teleport
lol
Theseus calls you a coward as if he hasnt been sitting behind a shield every time you fight him
yeah he's a hypocrite
then i proceed to slap 30% of his health with an arthur crit
if your blessed spear is so fancy why you hding behind that shield
I wish there was an aspect of theseus and he just starts whining like a baby if you fight him with it
Heheh, that would be hilarious
I want arthur sword 🙆
Than get it
Just make it a mix between aegis and the spear. Like if you chage you get the shield dash instead of the spin but your normal and dash attack are the spear. make the special be you trhrowing both
Boom problem solved
Shhh it's hidden shhh
spoilers are allowed in this channel
No I just mean
oh
rip
did you spend enough T blood
Idk the requirements tbh
Do you have the hidden spear aspect?
spend 5 in spear then tlak to achiles GO BACK TO SPEAR AND REAVEAL( I was sutpid and wondered why i wasnt getting the prompt for so long) then spend 5 in sword and talk to nyx
every weapon has an associated character that gives you a hidden aspect... but I don't know why nyx is the sword one
the other ones make sense
pinned messages in #h1-story-discussion for the requirements
@coarse marten nice. Okay I have achilles spear I think at 5 blood now
Nooo, don't spend 5 in spear. Unlock 5 unique non-zagreus aspects
why there
@signal aspen nice
wait
it's story
@deft shell oh
Well eventually I'll get it I guess
Achilles spear is pretty fun I'm like teleporting around
noooo I didnt have to waste all the titan blood ahhh
rip
what kinda of wepaons would you like to see adden. personally its just a massive hammer for me.
they cant really add more weapons because of the infernal arms, 6 weapons used to kill titans
and now zag is using them
so they can only add aspects
I need to read up on my greek history then 
Damn greek mythology always holding us down
they had a gun in greek mythology???
yeah
apparently
zeus was walking around with a glock
What a guy
whats yall least fav weapons?
thats why he fricked so many women
i dont really have a least favorite weapon, but my least favorite aspect is gilgamesh
I hate malus for some reason. I just really dont like using htem
malus?
oh malphon lol
lmao
im tired
malus
I don't enjoy cast aspects too much
I love them they are like my favourite
some will literally melt hades
well at least I got to surface with beowulf. Now if I can beat hades with it major pogs but I got 0 lives left
whats your cast
ares with the duo from demeter
but I only got 1
since I cnat resist the sound of 8 blood
bruh
that's fair
I have like 300 and something hp though
Spoilers were not allowed in this channel a the time. #h1-story-discussion was #hades-story-and-spoilers then, so it was just natural to have a spoiler like that pinned there.
ooooh that makes sense
timed cast is good in a lot of builds, but bad with some cast weapon builds
I just realised. I have a shield and free health regen and like 300+ hp. I can just play like a coward for ez win
if only I had auto god guage I would ever have to leave my beloved shield corner
wait does hades do self dmg?
I think his skull do . cause they dmg other skulls
dammit I died.
at least no more beo
I had 25% auto god and demeter call and it helped so much in satyr rooms. Just walk in pop call and doom them all
I don't use calls enough
Does charm work on bosses? I know I charmed bull but he never attacked Theseus
bosses have reduced charm time i think?
It just stunned them
it's enough to interrupt an attack
Ah
apparently with some builds you can charmlock bosses?
Zeus Aphro I think
I think asterius can hit theseus if you time the charm right... but idk
I had no luck with it. Seemed no enemies ever really did anything or maybe I just killed them too fast
charm is good for getting enemies off your case or for grouping enemies together
Yeah, most of the time in my experience, charming is kinda gimmicky, it’s faster to just kill the mobs. Bosses are a different story though
yeah
its useful for stunning them mid attack
I just wanted to turn them against each other 
that works too
Anything for my good shade
I cant be the only one who find zagreus teaching tisiphone really cute. Like we should be able to interact with the rest of the furies more not just meg
its not cute when zag kills tis
yeah
Depends
im really hoping to find aphrodite now to get the duo
is exit wounds just useless when using stigian?
I think it still deals damage when the stones come out.
it is better to have a bunch of casts pop out and deal a ton of damage
di they still come out with stygian though?
His urns can damage him.
Yeah, they don't lodge indefinitely...it's just not as noticable since they dont fall to the ground. They just disappear
Tbh a good Cast build doesn't really care for Exit Wounds.
It's not necessary but I always try to get it for Poseidon sword. It's good burst damage when you use your special
You either have so much damage that you one-shot regular enemies or kill them after your Casts hit with just a couple attacks long before your casts dislodge, or you have a cast build that doesn't lodge anyway.
im termpted to do charon but I gotta escape for my 8 blood
Well, not always one-shot exactly, but your Casts will just kill everything, and then your ammo drops immediately, so you can pick it back up.
is charon the hardest boss?
So Exit Wounds mostly helps in boss fights and in builds that only use Casts for Boiling Blood or to supplement damage.
I've honestly done the Charon fight only like a handful of times probably lol.
His attack patterns seem simple enough.
But he can do a lot of damage.
wel;l tiem for hades with the spear. I still got all 4 of my lives though woooo
does ares death defience stack?
wooo 9 more titan blood
is there any way to get meg to show up in your room for the favour
Nope, just random
Hello
I have all my relationships maxed out except Hermes. Can anyone help -_-
have you done the charon prophecy
That has nothing to do with Hermes' favour Cake
Try talking to Hermes with ||his keepsake equipped at max level|| @wanton oar ^_^ (assuming you're at the heart lock for Hermes)
Yes im at the heartlock
I did the charon prophecy thats why I came here to ask I thought that was it
Thx a lot 
ughhh its bee so long snce she has been at max hearts and just wont show up
any tips for using guan yu
The most damaging thing you can do is spamming special.
Only use your spin when you're safe.
Please make sure it's level 4 or above before using it.
well I guess I wont be getting hte reach the surface with it for a long time
what's the name of the song that plays when ||you're killing enemies to get a reward that dwindles the longer it lasts||?
The exciting part of Wretched Shades extended, I believe
ive only ever gotten 2 hammers in a run, if i were to get "dark foresight" would i be able to get more than 2 hammers in 1 run?
Nope!
It's a limit of 2
Unless you get an item in the final shop that gives you 3
ah :/ thats unfortunate, but thanks!
It would just increase your odds of finding a hammer opposed to other rewards, which is still really useful
I used to think that Dark Foresight wasn't worth the boon rarity trade off but it's all I use now that I'm climbing heat more seriously
you are get 1 in tauratrus/asphodel and another in elysium
max number you can get is 2, but it's possible to just have 1 if you keep not choosing/buying it.
you might get anvil in styx, which will remove 1 random upgrade from you & give you 2 random available upgrades in return.
so long as you haven't picked up all hammers before styx there's a chance 1 might appear in either the charon shop there or as a tunnel reward.
can you also just get really unlucky cause in my last run I think I either didnt get offered the hammer in Asphodel/Tartarus or i got it like once
I just said that it's possible to just get offered 1
the max is 2
doesn't mean you will always have 2
I'm sure you can go without even getting 1
A Daedalus Hammer is an Artifact that improves your weapon by upgrading its attacks. It can appear in the first room of a run, as a room-clear reward, or can be purchased from Charon for 200 before the Temple of Styx. Only two Hammers can be acquired during any given run, and their effects will stack, although buying an Anvil of Fates from Char...
it's all in wiki
So, just a hypothetical question, if Hades WERE to get DLC, what would you want?
For me, it's in my nickname
I would like a "Climb Olympus" DLC, now the bosses are Olympian gods or their demi-gods
That would be really cool, for sure
Story could be something along the lines of meeting his family, but having to gain their trust through battle
Love it haha I really hope Supergiant has something planned, the game is superb yet still has much potential
As far as 'raw content' goes, I would honestly be happy with a suite of new boons (especially duos) and hammers
An Arsenal Update would be cool
Of course I would love things like new weapons and gods too
Gods that you unlock in the post-game, because they've decided to help now that what has transpired has transpired
I know all spoilers are welcome here but if you know what I mean you know what I mean
So I'm going for Hades achievements and was saving up darkness for quite a while for Nyx's mirror achievement, until I realized I could just reroll the entire thing and spread my darkness out to each skill then reroll again. Literally just cost me 2 keys.
I really didn't think this one out, but at least I'm loaded with darkness now
Hey you just need around 65k darkness to max both mirrors at once... just that
yeah no thanks
If there's one thing I really want to see added to the game, it's for all of the cast boons, particularly the duos, to get adapted versions that are compatible with Beowulf
As the game stands, if there's one thing I could change it would be that
65k sounds like a lot but it's actually not that hard to get those kinds of numbers if you're not playing on heat
they really did a great job with the random house interactions and the dialogue never feeling stale. Or I guess I'm speaking as a relatively new player. But for essentially doing the same thing over and over it always feels pretty fresh
since each boss gives darkness and you can also get bonuses from weapons? Speedruns doesn't sound too bad to farm it up quickly
but when I hear how much some things cost it's a bit overwhelming from the current point that I'm at, reaching the epilogue today. Highest is 16 heat I managed yesterday too
It can definitely seem pretty daunting, yeah lmao
But as someone who was playing before one of the updates that came later in the life cycle... you ain't seen nothing yet
I wish I could remember the old mirror price, I think it might've been before the green side came out, but it was just as if not more expensive as it is now
So was buying the Eldest Sigil to Chaos
oh jeez
Yeah
The mirror refund we got when that update came out was crazy
Maybe a little more dramatic for me because I didn't play heat much before 1.0
really saved me a lot of misclicks
good because I can't find use for keys otherwise
They're good for the odd broker trade
about the time you stop needing keys, you start needing ambro and diamonds
ty broker :)
pact of pp
Guys I just finished everything and I need MORRRREEE. Please tell me supergiant are adding content to this masterpiece
I'd sell my kidney for that to happen
Hades 2: Electric Boogaloo
Is that a no?
No plan.
Great games to rot away :(
well I am sure it's still selling quite well haha
you can add Hades to your Anticipated Sequel list.
Along with the likes of Half Life, Furi, Hollow Knight, etc.
Furier is the best name, but that's taken. So a sequel would have a weaker name 😦
furier-er
Pains me that I can't come up with anything better
Who knows. Hades 1.0 came out last September, anything could go from there
- Hades the Prequel
- Hades Tactics
- Hades 2k17
- Hades
- Hades All-Star Ultimate? A platform fighting game featuring all SGG characters.
Hades Tactics does sound great 
oh it's a joke on their previous titles
- Bastion = Hades the Prequel
- Transistor = Hades Tactics
- Pyre = Hades 2k17
- Hades = Hades
:D
Hello I am Fooled
Yeah. Kinda like Fire Emblem or SRW
(Also, Greg has a SRW pic on Steam, so there's a chance)
i still havent played furi yet but its in my library
it's a boss rush game. if you enjoy Hades bossfights, i think you would enjoy Furi also.
might play it later
complete with EM variations also (called Furier mode)
ok
yall is there something im suppose to do because im not getting the voice line from achillies to let me get the guan yu aspect
i robbed charon and now i am dead
How do you rob Charon?
Also, finally made it to Elysium with the shield.
The shield sucks against Hydra, or maybe I'm just bad.
But it'll be good against Asterius atleast.
found this very informative polygon article https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/697609213173694464/832073886681661541/unknown.png
Thats a weird way to spell Dusa
there was epic cash money behind him sometimes
Hades
Yes, Rico, Hades.
favorite boss music?
I think EM4 final boss is nice music even though I've experienced it not many times myself
When my parents walk in while I'm gaming
lmao
wahoo, beat em3 first try
on one hand i spent 3 DDs on the fight and lost to dad
but on the other hand, I had just picked up a hammer that destroyed all my synergies so the run was probably doomed anyway
im glad i wasnt too spoiled on the fight
how are you supposed to beat it with a melee weapon?
You aren't
all weapons are bows
kinetic launcher on fists, piercing wave on sword, extending jab/exploding launcher on spear
Charged shot on Shield
sword needs better hammer honestly
like what even is cruel thrust man
dash nova should be deleted
imagine not playing demeter
But sometimes an enemy is like 20 feet away and I want to punch them without going over there
God imagine if gilgamesh worked with kinetic launcher, though.. you could maim someone from the other side of the room
Does the chaos egg help when trying to get the Death Defiance from Chaos? I'm saving all may rerolls every run for Chaos and Light if Ioxian to finally get it, but somehow Chaos doesn't want to give it to me.
egg helps its also just rly rare
you can also use skelly's tooth
coz defiance is really rare
I know Supergiant puts out ringtones from their games. Have they done that for Hades yet?
I dont think they have, but the sound track is available on spotify, youtube, and steam
darren korb on spotify
supergiant games on youtube
I do have the soundtrack on Steam.
Just was curious what they themselves think would make for a good ringtone.
death and i would make a great alarm
yo so the lyre is making actual like musical sounds now
but i dont have the achievement yet
whatsup with that
or the quest,
both
so if the benefit is that foes who are maimed take 25% more damage why does it say 400 maim damage...
im a bit confused
explosion at the end
its like doom with a longer timer
its not good though
you take 50% more damage
which is dumb
oh fair enough
fair enough
cant you spam out the dash attack with them or something
or is that normal with all claws
Just wanted to share my accomplishment of getting Hades No Hit Run, second to Haelian
Took us a long time but we got here!!
streamed on twitch: twitch.tv/mako_is_a_friend
also what happens if i exceed the heat guage? do i get the bounties and i can still get the bounties for the heat levels below?
oh i wont get extra bounties he just said it outloud himself
wasn't sure where to share it, here or in self promo 
nothing
nice
Not me procrastinating homework by learning Through Asphodel by ear
Hades
i dont think you have
Skelly
but you do this every day
I do
schelemeus
good character
captain
BOY
k
anyways
did u guys know
brun i forgot u coudn't send images
leme get a link real quick
yes
you reduce it with a hammer
wait you can?
So I nearly died laughing today
Something about Zagreus saying "Murderzer???" nearly made me die to Tisiphone
k
epic hades discussion
yes ima head to off topic
Does anybody know why everytime I get room with the competition with thanatos he disappears before I can talk to him everytime
wait frick
he only talks to you during a run if you missed talking to him in the house
I remember a certain chaos room 2/3/4(?) having a fishing point. Can someone tell me?
Went away from the game for a while and can't remember.
I managed to get a fishing point there once only to skip it stupidly by rising to the exit after the boon
its random
every chamber with water or lava can have a fish in it
and i guess there is water in chaos
so its random
and the ones in choas are very rare
something just happened
i caught my second rare fish
epic
and it gave me useless keys
triple bomb + arty special
not sure about it myself but i mean it worked pretty well for me, easy sub 12 minute run lol
Any benefit in increasing the level of hidden sword, shield, bow and rail weapons?
or are they mostly the same at lv. 5?
They're all very different.
Guan Yu is awful at level 1, because of the HP penalty.
rama is amazing at lvl 5, arthur at lvl 1 vs 5 is a pretty negligible difference, beowulf i have no idea, lucifer can do fine with attack builds at lvl 1 but you're gonna be using special a lot at lvl 5
lvl 1 guan yu 🤢
Yes, what you said about Rama
how does the shared suffering mechanic work?
when I used Rama, it was a Hangover special build
don't think I used the attack much
So you know that when using Rama, that icon appears over various foes heads, right?
That indicates that they are affected by Shared Suffering, and so they take a percentage of the damage that you deal to anyone else.
And the higher the upgrade you have on Rama, the greater the % of damage they take.
It starts at 30%, but max Shared Suffering is 60%--so it's worth the upgrade if the playstyle fits.
what happens if oyu have blown kiss then get rid of crush shot?
nothing
you lose crush shot
and blown kiss becomes useless
finished renovating the house
unlocked everything
oh so the +50% to undamaged foes is removed
Niceee
ughhh a trove trial thats invincibilty ronks and shields
why does that exist ughhhh
f
my entire plan for this build was getting the explode at 10 stacks of chill but it gave me one demeter boon fromn the horn and thats it
bad rng
ik its making me sadge
wait no finally
like 3 rooms left in elysium and iot offers me one
you should l level up hidden sword, spear, bow, and shield
1 hermes 1 chaos ares cast and athena dash
i guess you have bad rng
the rest are fine at lvl 1
well I sold crush and blown kiss soo
everything but rail and fists?
I thought maximising maimed damage would be good
maim is so good you have to take 50% more damage
thats the annoying thing about trying to go for a specific build that sounds fun. You end up getting rekt by rng and dieing to theseus
rip
Wow
300 runs, 280 clears
Great work
That's a lot. But your house looks nice
thanks
What do you have left to do?
unlock all music
unlock all themes
finish bond with hermes
for some reason i havent maxed his keepsake yet
That's good to know there's still more to do even after that many clears
yeah
And then maybe they add some dlc given the crazy recognition the game has gotten recently
honestly Hades might be my fav game of all time
im bewtween that or doom eternal
both were so good
nice
idk if hades is my favorite game of all time
but it is definitely goty for me
for 2020
even though i didnt play hades during 2020...
like I cant really find a single thing I dont like about hades, graphics are gorgeus, game always feels fresh, not that expensive, amazing soundtrack, great gameplay and good story
I find the gameplay and room pools not big enough, but that's the only complain I have
And I'd rather have them make less but balanced so everything is well rounded up
the game play of hades is awesome
"24 different weapons", and 12 gods that all act differently
I am about to go into a boss atermis room with eurydice nectar thingy and her keepsake lol
bosses have their own unique features
and all the pacts
yeah
They're different but feel very close so mainly 6, sale for boons, each God has one effect, and it's about how you combined them..
Compared to pools of other rogue lite, it's a bit lacking
Isaac and stuff
But clearly is wasn't their goal to make game breaking content, and the whole is very coherent so it's fine.
some of the hammers feel like new weapons lol like delta
delta acts the same as normal rail if you have enough dashes
dash attack on rail makes the gun fire faster
And as I say, that's my only complaint if I have to tell one, I agree with everyone else lemon said
so you can ignore the pauses in between each burst with a dash
Haven't touched the hidden aspects yet
Hades is like less than a year old Isaac is 6
Isaac has what? 1 remake and 3 expansions?
yeah exactly
Hades biome number is a bit limited though. But they are welldone, at least.
No game is perfect.
yeah but a cool idea could be expanding into other mythos underworlds. Who wouldnt love a valhalla biome or egyptian one
I'm wondering what their next step would be.
A new IP or expansion
Or, a sequel to their previous games
We talked about this, FoxHope. Hades Tactics 
Hades is the only roguelike with a story and characters and lore and presentation that actually makes me wanna play it.
hades has a decent story
The gameplay and everything is incredibly polished.
Animations are super smooth.
I have over 900 hours and occasionally still find new voice lines.
I hope in some update they make a way for you to necromance theseus so you never have to deal with him again
he just keeps coming back
King Theseus is one of my favorite characters, honestly.
yeah if killing him just makes him respawn why not just make him live again
same, i like beating the sh*t out of him
what are good for attack with the bow
can i complete the hammer quests with the anvil or does that not count
I thought that said romance Theseus... lol
Curse of Agony, only try if you are a professional
whats the best weapon aspect?
The one you are good at. All weapons are balanced for basically every quest in the game, unless we are talking 50+ heat.
are there any that are better than others?
Is orange better than apple?
well you see
apple isn't a color
jk
i really enjoy playing nemesis but im going for arthur
partially because it looks cool
I guess some good weapons with relatively little upgrade needs are Hera, Nemesis, Arthur, and most Zag Aspects.
They aren't the best, best is subjective. But they require little blood to get going, if that's what you want.
oof
You have Jury Summons turned on?
yeah
js, not even once
Wouldn't recommend it at 32, yeah. What aspect is that?
Trials with JS are especially bad.
Savior increases the difficulty rating of enemies, so you would never normally run into a chamber like that without Jury Summons.
A smaller number of Bruiser Savior enemies would still be annoying, though. Bruiser wastes a lot of time.
I'm assuming its the 32 that was just posted in #h1-victory-boasting
Im considering turning on God Mode until I finish the story.
dew it
I dont know if I need to though. I can reliably make it to Hydra and have beat it with five of the weapons.
do you know how god mode works?
yeah
I think it's fine because it doesn't make the game trivially easy
but it's up to you. you can turn it off mid-run, too so there is that
God Thanatos and Zagreus are just so soft and tender with each other I just
Hhhahhhhhhhh
Sooo
Practicing with the lyre means pressing E until something happens huh?
It's a good thing I spent 7000 hours over on TF2
You have to go on runs too. Just playing it repeatedly isn't enough.
Yeah, what I do is press it until the first dialogue, then go on a run
You also have to talk to orphy
Oh
Yeah you need to hear lines from him and play it a certain number of times to get good
Without talking to him you'll never improve
What benefit package?
Gimme a second
Pack of punishment's benefits
The ones for slashed benefits request
Either I don't know what that is cuz im terrible with names and remember non of then, or because I'm just an idiot and don't know what that is
Benefits package is a pact you can take to increase heat
Once you take that pact enemies will start having special perks that makes them harder to beat
Theres a prophecy for beating an enemy with every perk
Some perks are rarer and exclusive to certain biomes, so just keep playing until you get them i guess
Oh thank you for explaining
Ok i guess I will find out later since I'm still sorta new to it
The most i have done was just 19 heat👼
You only need a few runs with benefits package on in order to get it
I'm only up to 7 heat and I got it
Oh so they're random?
As long as you activate the benefit package pact, you will find enemies with these perks
if you really wanna speed the process up take bp2 
if cruel thrust was an arthur hammer it would probably be liked a lot more
imagine a hammer that makes your third swing even more powerful than it already is 

Beat the game
they probably already have
So is it just a thing for bows to have different charge times when you Dash-Strike?
Because the Aspect of Rama seems to change its charge with Dash-Strikes
what bait?
there's bait?
Look at my post above
that's not bait
Bruh
that's not bait
"Hades is trash"
fax
how is that bait?
why not?
Gun is just one of the weapon that is more conformed to this idea more and new players doesnt like them
Because oh no my skillful button mash doesnt work here
Bow too
bow suc
These two weapons gets so much hate i just find them funny
Or maybe you just dont know how to use em
I dunno
Lol
fists are my least favourite. just can't work with them
Bruh hades is the best rogue lite rn
he just doesn't believe in spin2win
i haven't gotten past using teh cthonic keys to own the weapon
There are some aspects that are dumb but they arent unusable
it suk
Just slightly annoying to use
Also spear spin
People hate on it while i sleep on it
Ever since they buffed the spin duration
spear sux
Hella yes
Deez nuts
sword base aspect based
idk about you but i got an easy 32 heat with quick + massive spin on hades spear
spin2win is real
what's a hades spear
Yeah
btw gun sux
Unless you can beat 30 heat with base sword on new save
bad post
Dont even talk to me son
the joke is thats impossible spammy
32 heat fresh file? that just sounds like mirrorless
ngl you're lying
I wish there was a secret ending to it
search up "vorime" on youtube
beating the game on your first run isn't exactly something that just happens anyway
i did it once
i was recording i still have the file. it's really corrupted though
. 
please be civil when discussing the game please
.

good effort
Always Dash-Strike with Coronacht
Welp I guess my next few runs with bow will result in death
bow
i like hades spear because it doesn't rely on spear special....
but the last time i played hades spear i made a special build 
Do you play Hades spear with Privileged or Favorite?
privileged because i like the sound effect
privileged vs family depends on the build
Do you use your effects are in attack and dash? Something like Dem+Aphro?
Aha. So you use your special but only for Priv
p.status is nice but i wouldn't go out of my way to shoehorn in another status effect just for it
the 20% damage boost from ff is good enough for me
ff is better most of the time yeah
the only time i ever use p.status if i'm using a build that directly uses two status effects, like hangover
Alright. Thought FF was the noob's choice. Which admittedly I kinda am
family favourite is just more convenient because you don't have to go out of your way to add another god to your build
yeah, more convenient, or that you get to a point where getting 2 statuses is hard
inflicting multiple statuses is something i end up doing by elysium anyway most of the time
but mostly i do it for the sound effect
lul
i'd probably take p.status on eris because tidal dash + lightning strike but getting jolted + rupture is easier said than done
Has hades gotten any content updates anytime recently
Apart from the usual patch notes, nothing much
Supergiant mentioned that they'd be taking a break from Hades so do expect not much new Hades content for a while 
It was 14 months between the last Pyre update, True Nightwing Mode, and the announcement of Hades. We may be in for a wait.
Yeah, if Hades is ever going to get some kind of content update, be it significant updates to what's already present or some kind of DLC or something, it won't be any time soon
Also hi @brisk trail!

And Aggy x :)
Hai Profaene 
It's been aaaaaaaaaages, hope yall are well
I'm doing pretty alright thanks
hope you've are well also
I've been great
niceu

Using mort to summon Thanatos just so I can give him a little kith
no DLC
didn't think it was possible but just now in my current run, I got dialogue to talk to coronacht from artemis while using varatha. all this time I thought I actually had to wield the weapon huh.
than cute af
eris
hestia
lucifer
flurry shot zag bow
The odd one out is Lucifer because it doesn't have a Dash-Strike.
Does hestia have a d-strike?
yeah
i can probably just grab hunter dash and see that for myself
yeah, there's something with it in the courtyard but it is affected by hunter's dash
Is it that lucy literally doesn't benefit from hunter dash?
me and nyaanyaa went over this the other day
You can't get Hunter Dash on Lucifer.
wait you actually can't get arty dash on luci?
Correct. Same for Lunge.
There's nothing particular about Dash-Strikes on Hestia. Empowered Shots simply don't register as an attack at all for the tutorial hints in the courtyard. That's all it is.
Im curious,anyone know why does Content/Maps contains "Orpheus.csv" which seems to be a list of voicelines?
Hades Wiki is community thing right?
yeah
Ahh okie okie
I just noticed some of the Olympians doesn't have Greater call quotes in it so yea, thought of asking here
Thanks though
Hi, not sure if this discussion belongs here or if anyone knows the answer
But does anyone know what gear Darren Korb uses
Especially for the metal parts of Hades
not sure if this is going to help you find your answer but here: https://youtu.be/_jMghh9sCSA
Composer Darren Korb traveled all the way to world-famous Studio Two at Abbey Road Studios in London to record two very special pieces of music for the Hades Original Soundtrack. He is joined by vocalist Ashley Barrett, conductor/arranger Austin Wintory, and a talented team of musicians in this behind-the-scenes look at the production.
Get the ...
i dont really know what your question is
Yeah i watched it, not really lol
ok
