did you just ask me why you dont like something

#

I was watching my friend play this on Steam and he is constantly skipping the Dialogue. Grinds my gears lmao.

signal aspen
#

some dialogue is not important

#

also how long has he been playing?

dusky wedge
#

Eh, he can play however he wants lol

eager kindle
#

60 hrs or so.

signal aspen
#

even at 60 hours there is a ton of important dialogue

eager kindle
#

That's what I'm saying

dusky wedge
#

I guess he just doesn’t care about the story anymore then

signal aspen
#

there is still a ton of dialogue i have not gotten even though i have played for 200 hours

eager kindle
#

During a run he skips most of the Dialogue but in the house he reads it but does not let the VA finish lmao

dusky wedge
#

How much dialogue left? I’m at 200 hours too and I’ve rarely got new dialogues now

eager kindle
#

Which is weird cause he loves cutscene heavy games like GOW and TLOU. Guess he just doesn't consider this games dialogue is sort of like a cutscene

signal aspen
dusky wedge
#

Probably just doesn’t like the repetitiveness

#

Also, guy above me lol

signal aspen
#

i think that there are only a couple of cut scenes in hades

eager kindle
#

Which is why I said it is sort of like a cutscene lol

#

all bond forging dialogue is really heartfelt, i always pay attention to that

You're missing a lot of information when you skit those important cutscenes in video games.

I enjoyed the dialogues for the game. added so much to the "oh no I died" to actually make it an upside rather than a downside

craggy barn
modern garnet
#

for example... if it takes you hundreds of hours to get a "very rare fish" then you would still be missing some poseidon dialogue

novel radish
#

there are special dialogue for making it far/completing high heat too

My first run that got to Hydra was actually with the fists.

coarse marten
#

is the very rare fish just a legendary?

#

Does Flourish affect hangover on special?

high island
high island
coarse marten
#

so the only way to get more posiden boons is pray to rngesus right

high island
#

Until you have boons from 4 different gods in a run, any boon you find will be from a random god. So there's a 1 in 8 chance that the god is Poseidon, and boons in shops will always be from a god you haven't seen yet. When you have boons from 4 or more different gods, any future boons you see will be only from the gods you already, and boons in shops will be from gods you already have. So you'd a 1 in 4 chance to see Poseidon.

#

Not counting Lord Hermes and Master Chaos.

coarse marten
#

damn hermes doesnt count

#

I wish like conch shell was multiple use

#

what do erbus gates do

signal aspen
#

and if you get hit then you will get onions

#

and also for erebus gates you need 5 heat in tartarus, 10 heat in asphodel, and 15 heat in elysium

#

to enter them

hardy arrow
#

And if you have companion rib those Erebus gates are practically free.

dry crag
#

b/c it draws aggro?

hardy arrow
#

Exactly

#

And usually to make it tougher you get something like fire chariots and it works spectacularly.

dry crag
#

yeah if i'm melee it seems like i get hit often, for chariot reasons

coarse marten
#

god I love aegis so much

#

every time I dont use it im like hey i dont like aegis that much then I use it and its just so damn good

#

I dont get why you cant fated persuasion the hammers

signal aspen
#

daedalus is not a god

#

therefore you cannot persuade him with a rock

coarse marten
#

:L what if I use a shiny rock

signal aspen
#

then yeah

coarse marten
#

but it wont let me use my shiny rock

signal aspen
#

then you cant persuade him

coarse marten
#

it should let me turn diamonds into fated persuasion just for daedalus

signal aspen

he doesn't want diamonds

#

he wants a shiny rock

#

Heya, so I’m having a bit of trouble getting Poseidon’s bond

#

So I’ve certainly gotten more than eight teen fish, I’ve gotten a scillicalion or whatever the guy’s called

#

I’ve been starting and resetting a run where the first room has a fish point and then talking to Poseidon trying to get the conversation to trigger, but it isn’t working

#

Does the fish point need to be in a desperate chamber or something?

#

I’ve been trying to get this to work for literal hours

red gust
#

not sure how dialogue works when resetting a run. do you get the same lines each time?

brisk trail
#

Not usually, but it is happening this time strangely enough

#

I’m wondering if the dialogue where Poseidon let’s you give him the ambrosia is random

#

I tried dying and than redoing the whole process to see if it is set and that didn’t work either

#

I’m on the Switch version btw, idk if that effects it

red gust
#

might just be that the rng's not on your side: from what i've seen in this channel and on the internet, poseidon's bond takes a while to get

signal aspen
brisk trail
#

The “give up” button

#

Also with all heat on so I can kill myself faster

red gust
#

dying will advance plot; "give up" doesn't, from what i know

brisk trail
#

Right

#

I was doing it because maybe his dialogue was randomized

#

Because as far as I know it’s meeting all the prerequisites

signal aspen
#

Giving up resets everything

brisk trail
#
  • 80 fish caught
  • 1 rare fish
  • 1 fish caught before hand
signal aspen
#

So in reality... You never caught any fish

brisk trail
#

Nah I killed myself when I got the rare fish

signal aspen
#

Ok good

brisk trail
#

The other 80 were just from playing the game

signal aspen
#

For it to count, you have to make it back to the house with all your fish

brisk trail
#

It’s the fish point IN the chamber

#

I’m wondering if it’s buggy or anything

signal aspen
#

Maybe

brisk trail
#

Since it’s the first chamber, I’m getting the fish BEFORE clearing it

signal aspen
#

Nah probably not

brisk trail
#

Has anyone else tried this before? What worked for them?

signal aspen
#

I recommend playing the game normally

brisk trail
#

That isn’t really working

#

That’s why I’m doing this

signal aspen
#

You are gonna get the same amount of fish while progressing more story, and not just poseidon's bond

brisk trail
#

Sorry

#

Yeah I just got it lol

signal aspen
#

Bruh

brisk trail
#

So I guess I was right about it being randomized

#

That took like 2 hours coolcry

signal aspen
#

Most dialogue in this game is rng

#

Unless it is part of the main story

#

Hi, so I'm trying to apply to a program for game designing and I need to write a review. I'm writing it on Hades and I wanted to see if anyone has a general estimation of how many runs it would take for someone to beat [redacted] at the very end

#

i dont have a very accurate run total since I played on god mode but would anyone have a gander?

narrow hemlock
#

highly dependant on player skill but i think the general agreed upon average is like 30-40 runs for an average skilled player

shell slate
#

alright, I'll take that. Thank you! I really dont want to butcher this review for my major application kirbyyay

narrow hemlock
#

its really hard to say because it will heavily come down to each individual player

#

ohh wait i think there is still an ongoing thread on steam where people chime in with how many attempts they took

#

So, I just finished attempt #34 without having successfully escaped so far. I'm curious to find out if that is normal or if I'm just a bad player ːlunar2019laughingpigː (and no, I'm neither salty nor frustrated, I LOVE this game) Edit: thanks for your reports and suggestions. I managed to beat Hades on run #44, then struggled for a few runs, but...

shell slate
#

yeah i just want the general estimate as a way to transistion into how a player wont get bored within 30 runs because of how each time they return, theres new content/dialogue

craggy barn
#

from what i've seen it's can be 10-30 or 40+ runs

narrow hemlock
#

its hard to pin down any specific range because it can be so varied. but i have seen post-release people saying they encounter new dialogue 200+ hours in. i specify release because a lot of us through early access were of course still encountering new dialogue hundreds of hours in due to updates adding new content, but it seems to still hold with the full release

shell slate
#

oh yeah early access had that sweet sweet content

light fox
#

do they plan on expanding on olympus anymore? or adding in new weapons

narrow hemlock
#

there are no current plans for further content, as far as we are aware at this time the game is complete unless they make an announcement

#

complete barring things like further bug fixes and the like anyway

light fox
#

thats unfortunate

narrow hemlock
#

it wasnt made with the intent of continued content updates like other games of the genre, it is still primarily a narrative-heavy game ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

supergiant is known for the narrative, music and art quality of their games, they tend to release a full game and move on, so if they do that with hades that is just par for the course

craggy barn
#

i really wish mother nyx had a music theme. even if it were to never be used in-game at least it could have been in the game files

coarse marten
#

since when was there a health reward

craggy barn
#

you mean food?

coarse marten
#

yeah

#

i never saw it before as an actual chamber reward just in shops and with the demeter thingy and the dusa thing

craggy barn
#

i think it's a first run thing

#

i've never gotten to see it for myself so how would i know bouldy

coarse marten
#

i didnt see it until like my 60th run of smth thought

#

maybe its cause I used the reroll on it

coarse marten
#

is there any better feeling than getting exclusive acces in tartarus

#

Depends on how functional your build is atm

He has that oar swing that covers so much area

#

My build was just becoming functional but I still had 38 hp

dusky wedge
#

Yeah, might not want to get Charon at Tartarus

#

Unless you’re good

sour imp
#

what is better unlocking weapons or mirror levels

dusky wedge
#

Whichever is fine

surreal condor
#

I'd say get the weapons first to get used to whichever one you like most faster

#

But either way its good

dusky wedge
#

Most people would have no problem getting wins with any weapons, but only with the right mirror upgrades

#

Probably will say get mirror first but it doesn’t really matter most of the time

sour imp
#

ok thank you i got the spear because this is my first save ever and i wanted to check it out

#

How many runs are you into the game? Get your first Death Defiance and extra Dashes as a priority

So I got another question

#

There's a bunch of chairs in the house of hades like what Orpheus sits in but I can't seem to find out if there's supposed to be a way to get NPCs to sit there

#

It doesn't look like there's a house contract for them

#

Is there something I need to unlock for those? Where should I start?

signal aspen
#

there is no way to sit on them

brisk trail
#

I know that

#

I'm wondering if there's supposed to be like NPCs like Orpheus

signal aspen
#

orpheus, and hades are the only characters that ive seen sit on something

#

and patty but he was sitting on the floor

brisk trail
#

So they're just kinda there? Like normal chairs? Not useful for anything?

signal aspen
#

yeah

#

Ah gotcha lol

#

So I picked Zeus as my keepsake for the latest shield run hoping for a strong lightning build

#

only got the Zeus special and no other Zeus boons for the rest of the run, with the game prioritising Dionysus boons and duos (chose the Dio cast in Tartarus)

#

what makes these things happen?

#

can one not affect the boons at all?

tidal charm
#

Did you change keepsake at end of floor? Only "guarantees" first boon of the floor

#

Please more boons (Pt. 2)

untold geyser
#

I left the same keepsake for Asphodel

#

hoping it would affect the rarity of Zeus boons on that floor

#

instead I got no more Zeus boons in Asphodel AND then the rest of the game

#

had a very weak Zeus Shield as a result

its known to happen at times, not entirely uncommon

dude called hestia's empowered shot "pointless" like yeah oneshotting enemies is so dumb lmao!!

gray apex
#

Hurts to read that

craggy barn
#

funnily enough guan yu is also known for easily oneshotting enemies with charged skewer, so easily that honestly the hp reduction feels worth it since everything's already dead and thus; can't attack you

#

in a game where everything is built to be viable, "ranking" them just ruins it and doesn't hold up when someone is like "but this actually works well, you just think it doesn't"

#

dawg what is this

#

i'm sure this person hasn't actually upgraded all the aspects, calling hestia's ability "pointless" hints that they haven't even upgraded it yet and it's at 50 damage per empowered shot

#

there's more bad takes to be shared about the other aspects and personally i don't think they actually know how to use some of, if not most of them

EM3 FO2 HL5 Asterius Miniboss is a run killer for me

#

Died so many times to that

dire dagger
#

yea, epilogue and all

novel radish
#

em4 fo2 phase 3. I cry. took forever to just be able to complete that fight successfully just once

#

got used to the pattern and eventually managed it for a 32 heat achieve run but I still cry

dire dagger
#

the second skelly trophy is prob the last heat i'll bother doing tbh

novel radish
#

for the 16 one, there are a couple of heat options you can trigger that won't truly effect your runs much if at all like the time limit set it to 7 minutes. add in 2 heat from making enemies resist the first 2 hits you dish out (might not work so well with couple weapon builds though)

brisk trail
#

Hey, should i buy this or exit the gungeon? exit is cheaper but apparently hades is better?

novel radish
#

hey pop

brisk trail
#

Hi

novel radish
#

both are great in their own right

#

when it comes to the genre my "opinion" is hades is more immersive and story loved than gungeon

brisk trail
#

yeah, i bought enter and i enjoy it but apparently exit is just a much more toned down 2d arcade game :/

gray apex
#

Get both PepeFedora

novel radish
#

when you die and fail a run, you are rewarded with story, little upgrades and fancy additions to the next run that it feels that your previous runs actually were part of the story rather than just try again

#

this part is what is loved about hades

#

also, the game is good for those who aren't too great at the genre too as it has one of the best options for those new beginners to the genre witha special toggle mode you can enable and disable if you need

#

one thing I can say that no one can argue is that which game is more worth it, is entirely your opinion and what mike said, get both. then decide which truly is better. steam has a feature that allows you to get refund within I think an hour of gameplay which should allow you to refund a game if you truly just don't like your purchase

dire dagger
#

coming from binding of isaac, i missed the crazier synergies in gungeon, while hades makes the different weapons interesting with the upgrades and all of that

#

at least for enter

#

btw, just beat theseus/asterius EM3 FO1, and yea, i lost a life on both that and asterius alone, was getting used to get to the end with my lives intact :|

#

Sometimes I wonder if I should intentionally kill myself with Touch of Styx Dark just to get more health down the long run

#

It says 50% more, so would that mean it instead healed 45% of my max health or 80% of my max health?

gray apex
#

80

#

And yes sometimes you should die in rooms so you enter the next one with better hp

#

heck yeah only 2 achievements left now. 30% butterfly and maxing out all the keepsakes to complete all the steam achievements

rare gust
#

Pog, good luck

#

30% butterfly is like what, clearing half the run without getting hit?

novel radish
#

pretty much

signal aspen
#

15 encounters without getting hit at max butterfly

#

which is harder than you think

novel radish
#

ahh it's not that bad actually as the true complication for a max butterfly for me would be furies fight

#

just erebus counts as encounter though right?

dire dagger
#

interesting, my last 2 are 2nd skelly and harsh conditions prophecy

signal aspen
#

harsh conditions is easy

dire dagger
#

did keepsakes early on, 30% butterfly i just did yesterday

signal aspen
#

just play at 0 heat and then put on the heat modifiers one at a time

dire dagger
#

yea, i just haven't worked on it by itself, doing 1 at a time while at the latest heat for each weapon

novel radish
#

im just thinking i would just route for the butterfly.

#

cheesy but works

brisk trail
#

butterfly wasnt that hard for me tbh just play with ranged weapons and carefully

dire dagger
#

butterfly can be pretty easy with some range and athena

brisk trail
#

yeah this

novel radish
#

im trash with bow/rail though. my idea is either early glasscannon arthur or cheesy athena zeus shield and rerun over and over for athena at start

#

imo it's just fury fight that will get me for the butterfly

brisk trail
#

if its just 1 fight you dont need to care

#

theres enough buffer for the chievo

#

15 encounters?

#

I thought it bumped up 1% per encounter

All the future aspects seem to have one thing in common

#

They're slow

dire dagger
#

i used to hate them (bow and rail), but aspect of chiron has a special place in my heart

novel radish
#

it's due to my eye condition. blind in 1 eye so im rendered to mostly memory and pattern

rare gust
#

Ah yes

#

Aspect of Chiron

#

The weapon I heard is overrated

#

Well from its design I can tell that it's a bow made for people who don't like Coronacht

But it does have its potential

Specially if you get that +4 Volley

I prefer the Rama

Hits like a truck, clears before you

i got every bond and maxed out the companions, time to max out keepsakes

#

Throw on your favorite weapon and aspect then run all of the Temple of Styx

#

I find my stuff levels up a ton in there

#

Also, would it be a good idea to hoard my fish

#

I want to pile them up and then chuck them at the chef all at once

#

No reason, it'd be satisfying to watch maybe

viscid quail
#

lol I like that

#

that would be fun to see a bunch of stuff roll in at once

hardy arrow
#

The fact that the game silently keeps track of your fish even if you forget to turn them in may just be my favorite feature.

rare gust
#

Dude the way the game keeps track of anything is a hell of a feat

#

Like this for example

#

Bloody worth it, and props to whoever coded/wrote it

signal aspen
#

and also its not 60$ like most games, its 25 and goes on sale a lot

hardy arrow
#

It's just with all the things I forget to pick up - chaos gates, treasure urns, fishing points, sometimes freakin' infernal trove rewards

#

The fact that I am not punished but am in fact pleasantly surprised when I turn in my fish late...well it really means a lot

#

Thanks Supergiant!

rare gust
#

They wouldn't have coded in the stacking names when you turn it in for nothing

#

It does stack, saying like "Turned in: Slavug x 3"

Is that replacing the existing 25% damage boost? Or does it stack on top of it?

Idk if I'm just using em wrong but a lotta the hidden aspects seem kinda useless to me

#

Especially the spear one

signal aspen
#

Hidden spear and hidden fists are bad

#

Hidden fists has a slower attack and a useless special, you are basically playing fists with a bad attack and 2 more dashes

Hidden spear is just pain

Guan yu is definitely stronger than other spears once you've built it up

@heavy compass I recommend considering Dodge mechanics instead

Spamming call at 25% for that nice dodge buff, felt pretty funny

#

I opted for a damage call instead tho, for some extra oomph

native niche
#

I noticed one dependence, if the initial gifts from the gods are more geared towards e.g. jump, then the rest of the gifts in the rest of the approach are focused on improving these skills, i.e. not completely rng, there is also a pattern of dependence from what I see, correct me if I am wrong 🙂

vapid narwhal

the boons are weighted towards getting your unfilled core boon slots filled, which are attack, special, cast, call and dash

then you will get the secondary and tier 2 boons if you have certain slots filled

The one thing that was supposed to make the Doom Effect good doesn't work

#

Who would've thunk

#

But yeah the thing doesn't do what it says. My Doom stuck to 102 and not move an inch

brisk trail
#

Dire Misfortune is mostly a meme. It's not what makes Doom builds pop. Not sure who told you that.

#

That being said, if you're not getting any extra damage you should press F10 in-game to launch the bug reporter.

high island
# versed zinc still waiting for updates

Don't get your hopes up. There's been no announcement of any kind for any major update. At most you can expect some very minor balance changes and some bug fixes, and they're finishing up the Japanese translations.

crude onyx
#

The way that Dire Misfortune works is that since Doom does not stack, every time you would apply another Doom stack, the original doom gets bonus damage. It synergizes well with weapons that can apply doom quickly, like the rail or fists, and impending doom, which in addition to greatly increasing the damage of doom, gives you a bigger window in which to “stack” dooms

question

#

so i need to invest 5 titan blood into the stygian blade, get guan yu, and etc. to get aspect of arthur right?

#

and i've already unlocked aspect of nemesis and poseidon

#

so does the titan blood that unlocked those aspects count to the 5 blood i need to invest?

so like it would mean i only need to invest 2 more titan blood?

or does it not count, and i need to invest 5 more?

that entirely depends on your weapon/aspect.

also... i don’t understand the bounty system all too well... could someone give me like... a super quick explanation lmao... you don’t have to go into detail... i know... what it’s for, but i’m assuming there’s a way to upgrade it? like... the amount of... heat, is it called? you can use per run

signal aspen
#

when you kill a boss they give you a bounty you can only get that bounty once per weapon and once per heat level

#

so if you want to get titan blood from meg on sword but you have already killed her on 1 heat, then you have to switch to 2 heat to get titan blood

twin mauve
#

i guess the only confusion i have is with it saying that you’ve maxed the heat out at 1

signal aspen
#

if you already killed meg at 1 heat then you have to kill her at 2 heat to get titan blood

twin mauve
#

well yes lol i got that now...

signal aspen
#

yeah, thats it

change heat level to what it says on the left and then kill meg to get titan blood

you need to fully complete a run to collect bounties at higher heat. beat the final boss at heat 1 to start collecting heat 2 bounties and so on

Imagine if it got more power every application

#

It'd be powerful against bosses and make way for a more hit and run tactic

#

If what you're describing is true then it's terrible, and would need something like Impending Doom to make it viable

#

Because otherwise you're literally better off using something like Dionysus' or Zeus' stuff

Does the dash need to collide with the enemy?

signal aspen
#

i got a build where every every dash attack, the doom would deal 400 damage and i had 5 dashes

#

yes

#

dash attacking will almost always make the dash hit the enemy

rare gust
#

Then it sounds like something I'll use with Varatha

signal aspen
#

?

#

how

#

every dash attack the doom deals 400 damage, and i had 5 dashes, how would that be good with varatha

rare gust
#

Varatha Dash Strike is something I love to abuse

signal aspen
#

better on gilgamesh because of the extra dashes

rare gust
#

Unlike to normal jab, it shoots out large swipes and clears huge areas

signal aspen
#

on gilga you can just hold attack and hold dash

rare gust
#

Better with the Triple Slash upgrade

signal aspen
#

what

#

i mean i guess

#

it doesnt really matter what weapon you use for ME, because you just need to dash strike, i just dont understand why you would take the weapon with less dashes over the weapon with more dashes

#

its not the dash strike that is dealing damage

#

its the doom

rare gust
#

Gilgamesh is funk

#

Having to Dash-Special is weird

If doom stacked good it would just be hangover

rare gust
#

Okay but there are differences

#

Hangover rewards aggresive/fast blows

#

Doom just adds a low DPS every once in a while

high island
#

Doom DPS is very good.

From my last experiment, Lucifer Special deals only 102

signal aspen

?

#

Doom

#

Are you saying that your doom does 102 damage

#

If so then it is just your fault for not understanding how to make a good build with doom

Try Merciful End build out if you haven't already.

in the mirror of night, do you get to keep/use both sides of a given talent in a run ? I've upgraded stygian soul which will fasten the regen of the cast. if I switch to infernal soul, which will +1 a cast, would the increase in the recovery speed of the cast be lost ?

red gust
#

can’t use red and green at the same time. the one you choose will affect your run

Though I was using gy for the first time so maybe it would've gone badly

is it possible to beat the game without getting a single Boon?
I tried it once and I couldn't make it out of Tartarus

You'll get boons which you can sell it later on but yea, I've seen many people done boonless finishes

carmine ravine
#

Kinda, use maxed shackles

uncut dagger
#

yeah and the mirror aspect that allows you to refresh rooms

#

I think I might have too high standards when I expect not to get a single Boon

vapid narwhal
#

Arthur aspect + shackles

#

you can take 3 boons per biome, sell them in between

#

you get the boonless clear title as long as you dont have any at clear

#

use fated authority to roll away boons

thanks, I'll have to use that

A super critty chiron bow run is so fun

I just started playing last night thinking I would stop at elysium or something but it just destroyed everything

Also, pressure points seems to be a lot more reliable than the small percentage suggests

If the heart is locked you need to do a favor for that person

you can find what specifically to do in the Wiki here https://hades.fandom.com/wiki/Characters

Hades Wiki

Characters in Hades are all taken from Greek mythology, although some with tweaks to fit the story. Most characters only provide conversation and possibly a Keepsake if they are given Nectar. Gods will also grant you a Boon if they are found during an escape attempt.
