Dodge and pursuit
Theseus is a very hit and run kind of boss fight, when Asterius is constantly aggro
Take care of Asterius first though, because when Theseus goes into that last phase of his, he gains some serious ground control
Whenever he throws his spear he takes time to walk away from you
Spank him then

been killing Asterius so far, yea. I'll probably make a run just to sit back and note how Theseus's offence works since I've only met him thrice. It practically saddens me how much damage they do in one tap, though.

hey guys
is there a place where you can see how much damage each strike your weapon does after all upgrades at any given time?
for both the normal attack as well as the special, and dash-attack, etc.
trying to find numerical values for each attack as the weapon is currently setup with daedelus and boon upgrades
modern garnet
hmm...
blissful mica
i dont think there is
modern garnet
well, if you get a build, and then you hit an enemy, then you'll be able to see the amount of damage you dealt
blissful mica
yeah im just trying to figure it out prior to the next encounter
so that i can plan ahead.. i just got another daedelus upgrade and im trying to figure out if the playstyle that im using atm is worth being changed or not
it's fine
just started a new game, on elysium at the 6th attempt
soooo here goes nothing
modern garnet
well, tell us what hammer you got, maybe we're familiar
blissful mica
ah ok
well i have two
im using stygius
hold on lemme just post a screenshot
errrmmm
it's a lot of screenshots
lemme try something on my end before i do this craziness
ugh photoshop is loading slow one moment
wow
all that effort and i cannot post a picture.
ugh im good
too much to type lol
you know what though
it would be a good idea for the devs to implement a streamlined way of sharing boon setups for discussion on the discord or something
like something that copies a generated link into your copy/paste bin or whatever it's caled
so that you can just come in here and hit conntrol/command+v and share the link that shows your boon situation
ofc, this would only be relevant for probably 5%, maybe 10% if we are being generous, of players who would indulge in using something like that for discussion either in this or other hades discord channels or on reddit / whatever
might not. be worth the effort, but it is still a neat idea, i think
dang it. annnddddd i died on the butterfly boss room lol. killed the boss and then a random baddie got me after i finished the big boy
oh well lol

dw!! it takes some time, im new to these games and in my numerous runs ive only gotten to hades once and died almost instantly 
blissful mica
got another question
blissful mica
<@391310262654992385> you can link images from an image hosting site like imgur ...
oh wow yeah duh whoops
but yeah question: have there been lots of buffs / nerfs / adjustments on the attributes associated with the keepsakes, over time?
im about to watch a video that aims to rank the keepsakes in tiers, but it's from december 2019 and the youtuber said that the video would possibly not be accurate if watched much later in time due to possible buffs/nerfs/etc.
if the keepsakes' attributes are still the same then i'll go ahead and just watch this video
high island
There have been quite a few changes since 2019.
blissful mica
oh damn.
high island
And our understanding in the community has progressed far past what we knew then.
blissful mica
do you know of a good resource that ranks the keepsakes? trying to prioritize which ones to get first
blissful mica
And our understanding in the community has progressed far past what we knew then...
true, i could definitely imagine that being the case
off-topic recommendation for all: blue bell ice cream sandwiches. mmmmm mmm delicious.
high island
m a good resource myself lol. Olympian keepsakes, Hypnos, Charon, Eurydice, and Skelly.
blissful mica
ok
high island
But, follow your heart!
blissful mica
so i have two things that i really really love
- being destructive (hurt them more)
- being indestructible (mostly in terms of either tankiness or more health or whatever)
i honestly would prefer to just hurt them more
im looking through the keepsakes right now
does that acorn help tremendously?
i could see it being nice but not overwhelmingly great
high island
Acorn is amazing for boss fights.
modern garnet
on certain bosses, the acorn can protect more damage than tooth
the later bosses, I mean
blissful mica
i've always been a huge fan of the tooth
that extra life (essentially) is really good
ugh ok i do have another question that i think i already know the answer to.. in order to get a given god's prophecy to appear in the book, you need to gift them and get their keepsake, right?
cuz if that's the case, i'll just go ahead and stick with the tooth for now and get all the olympians gifted quickly so that i can get those gem rewards from prophecies
(also, i know that i type a lot.. sorry about that, i just like to be as clear as possible in what im trying to say is all haha)
modern garnet
that is the case, yeah
blissful mica
ok so i'll do that then. the only keepsake im gonna get for actual functionality while doing that is meg's keepsake, the earring
gonna grab that rn so that i get that extra dps when low in hp. looks really good
modern garnet
basically, if you only lose DDs to bosses, you're better off with acorn than tooth
like, mathematically
blissful mica
i'll give that a try
vapid narwhal
Acorn >>>> Tooth and collar
vapid narwhal
Acorn provides significantly higher eHP than both
combined even
more so against Hades and Heroes
vapid narwhal
effective HP
blissful mica
effective hp?
yeee
okay
tanks mon
i was also eyeing the feather duster
over time that could actually be nice too, no?
vapid narwhal
battie is better
vapid narwhal
oh feather duster the dusa keepsake
blissful mica
don't you have to actually defeat hadies to get them?
vapid narwhal
sorry for the spoiler but feather is not that good
modern garnet
feather duster is good as a temporary measure if you're taking slightly more damage then you're healing
blissful mica
im not worried about it. story spoilers are my primary concern
but function spoilers are okay as it allows me to plan adequately
on what to prioritize, you know?
modern garnet
i run feather duster in elysium sometimes when i have nothin better to do
modern garnet
gotta give certain people a lot of nectar and then ambrosia
vapid narwhal
assuming you dont have the 2nd to last hidden keepsake, feather indeed isnt a bad choice at Elysium
blissful mica
gotta give certain people a lot of nectar and then ambrosia
for companions?
vapid narwhal
but I'd also just take acorn
alternatively, tooth for Elysium for safety against heroes and acorn for styx
blissful mica
im gonna roll acorn for a while
modern garnet
i think you can get companions before beating hades, but based on the game's difficulty people usually beat hades first
modern garnet
yeah i might go for tooth elysium now that i think about it... i can lose a DD in that fight too often
blissful mica
i havent played this game in over 6 months and i just remembered the biome after elysium with the rats
ughhhh pain and anxiety setting in
modern garnet
the satyr spitting sound... worst sound in the game
blissful mica
so just so im the same page, you have to give lots of gifts and ambrosia to certain people to get companions?
modern garnet
you also have to talk to them a lot
blissful mica
ok
cuz when i played last year i got up to eighty-something attempts and never beat hades haha
vapid narwhal
5-6 nectar → personal quest → ambrosia
blissful mica
so companions might save my ass in a big way from suffering
modern garnet
oh yeah for some companions you need to do a "favor" for people
blissful mica
do companions help a tremendous amount?
modern garnet
but that's mostly just having more conversations
vapid narwhal
you can actually speed up process for one of if not the strongest companion
blissful mica
i love the conversations in this game. it's excellently written and the voice acting is superb, so im down with more of them haha
modern garnet
companions are fine if you bother to learn how to use them
vapid narwhal
beat 1st boss, suicide and repeat
since that one is just tied to 1st boss encounters
modern garnet
if you... want to skip minibosses, companions are fine
blissful mica
oh i like the minibosses
well i guess i wont prioritize them then
also, why not say it real quick.. stygius is by far my favorite weapon in this game
it's the most fun to play with, for me
modern garnet
everyone has a favorite eventually
blissful mica
i did have all the weapons unlocked after eighty-something attempts and stygius always remained #1
modern garnet
stygius feels so good to use, i feel like they spent a lot of time tuning the swings
blissful mica
yup
however, i will admit that i had not gotten super far in upgrading all of the weapons
specifically with regards to the titan blood stuff
titan blood is hard to find / acquire
modern garnet
it is... you might be all out until you beat the final boss
blissful mica
once you finish beating the bulk of the bosses for the first time it's pretty much just trading with the broker to get it, right?
oh wait yeah that was it
i read that you can get more after you beat hades
but you're bottlenecked until then
blissful mica
what?
go ahead what were you gonna say haha you can't say you're gonna say something and then not say it 😛
it's just too unfair
modern garnet
well if you unlock 5 aspects then it starts progression for the hidden aspects
but i think pre-pact that's not gonna help ya much
blissful mica
i gotta stop neglecting the cast
i don't even know what aspects are off the top of my head
or the pact
modern garnet
do you have every weapon unlocked?
blissful mica
im guessing the pact is something that happens after killing hades
but let's not talk about that
im not unlocking them all yet cuz i dont like it when the game gives you incentive to use different weapons
lethal hawk
im guessing the pact is something that happens after killing hades
that is the case afaik, yes
lethal hawk
or at least you can't really interact with whatever the pact is before hades
modern garnet
:P of course the sword is your favorite since you havent unlocked all the weapons yet
lethal hawk
I've unlocked all the weapons, haven't gotten a clear yet (keep dying to the elysium champs) and the sword's kinda gotta be in my top 3 too
blissful mica
ugh im back
lethal hawk
that 360 special of the sword
blissful mica
so i guess that i have to unlock all of the weapons in order to use titan blood on them 😦
blissful mica
:P of course the sword is your favorite since you havent unlocked all the weapon...
i had unlocked them all last year
lethal hawk
so i guess that i _have_ to unlock all of the weapons in order to use titan bloo...
I mean...why would you use titan blood on a weapon you haven't unlocked yet ?
blissful mica
always loved the sword the most. bow was second, then shield, then gun, then spear.. i just know that i hated the fist things
i wanna use titan blood on the stygius
but i dont see the option to do so @lethal hawk
im guessing that i have to unlock all of the weapons first in order to do it at all
modern garnet
yep
blissful mica
yup yup
lethal hawk
ahh got it. sorry my bad
blissful mica
it's chill no sweat brosef
lethal hawk
yea I do think all the weapons must be unlocked before you can begin using titan blood
btw you get a clear yet ?
lethal hawk
yea
blissful mica
i never did haha
lethal hawk
same boat
blissful mica
i was saying earlier that i had done eighty-something attempts last time i was playing
never beat him haha
lethal hawk
74 and counting over here
blissful mica
i did get to the point where i was fighting him fairly regularly tho, so if i had kept on i would have had him before long i think
never give up, never surrender
modern garnet
ah yeah that's when you get close
you meet him often, then you meet him often with full DDs, and then you win
blissful mica
i was playing on my switch on portable mode with a different controller
i now have it on my macbook with an xbox one controller, i think i like this setup more so i am playing better than i did then
alright, im gonna go get wrecked by whatever the game is about to throw my way
i'll be around. thanks again friendos

So last night I picked up Cursed Slash to finish a prophecy. Worst idea ever
Luckily I finished the run and harsh conditions while I’m at it
placid pebble
there was a small update today?
peak orbit
Was there?
peak orbit
Luckily I finished the run and harsh conditions while I’m at it
But that’s because I got lucky and used the anvil to lose the Cursed Slash and replace it with Double Nova
It also gave me World Splitter which like, IDK it’s definitely better than Cursed Slash but do you guys think it’s fine? I think it’s fine
high island
If there's no announcement, it's just minor bug fixes, typos, things like that.
I'd take Cursed Slash over World Splitter, personally.
But I play mostly high heat or speedrun.
peak orbit
Why do you think World Splitter is bad?
Personally I think I’m willing to ignore it considering I have two other hammers that I’m willing to work with. Plus I wasn’t speed running I was aiming for a prophecy
I only started a month ago. So my current heat is up to 7 at most
high island
You can do a Dash-Strike into immediate normal Attack with Stygius, which will look like he's stabbing twice very fast with a Dash-Strike, but you can no longer do that if you use World Splitter. Otherwise, I almost never use the normal Attack anyway. HP penalty of Cursed Slash doesn't bother me.

Dash striking with the sword feels weird to me
signal aspen
why?
dusky wedge
It’s like it is much narrower, if that makes any sense? Feels like that to me
Like, you have to aim much harder than just blindly dash striking in the general direction of your enemy

Dash Stroke is the way to go for me
I’m literally doing the thrust damage twice right after using slam nova. 45 BD + 30 BD*2

does regen work for stuff like doom too

Nope

TBF the Rail is an awkward but really powerful weapon if you use their aspects right
Have you heard of our Lady and Savior Eris?

You mean Lucifer

for best weapon, I would say Stygius with Arthur Aspect
peak orbit
It’s so slow
peak orbit
I do use the special but I just don’t get the attack
brisk trail
that seems to be a common problem among the players 😄
peak orbit
Lucifer is fun and I heard of his strong potential. I just never found my groove with the guy.
Eris though
Use it if you want easy mode
brisk trail
For me thats Arthur x3 bonus 50 health, mix in Cerberuses keepsake, and you are already off with a good start
brisk trail
hmmm...pretty random tbh
Deflect for attack can be good if you use it with the special, cause you can easily send the enemy attacks back at them

its fine with arthur, arthur is a really slow weapon so you are gonna get hit by projectiles in between your swings
signal aspen
What boons do you typically run with Arthur?
artemis attack with aphro dash, then get heart rend
or you can just do aphro attack
brisk trail
or Dionysus dash with Ares attack
signal aspen
with arthur you want an attack with a %
brisk trail
you already do heavy damage, and Doom is the perfect way to seal the deal
signal aspen
not really
peak orbit
No Doom is better using attacks with low base damage
Like Bow Special
Or...or...I'm out of ideas
With this heavy damage you really want Heartbreak Strike
My favorite Ares Boon is unironically Urge to Kill

Why is it jot drachma?

Rolling or heavy or quake cutter?

Descriptions please
Heavy knuckly I remember is the 3 hard hit combo
hallow peak
You can describe the description tho
low jay
Rolling -> dash strike +60%
Heavy knuckle -> 3 hit sequence 40 base damage
Quake-> after special deals 90 base where you landed
low jay
Okay I'll try
signal aspen
quake is fine
hallow peak
One if obals were drachma it would be mythos accurate
Two all the obals in the charon fight would be a lot cooler because then its like all these people died fighting charon or its a symbol of all the people charon has ferried. With the two drachma on the deceased eyes tradition.
Three you don’t keep all the obals between runs because it supposedly has no value in the underworld and its value is only symbolic which is also true of drachma.
But I suppose the true question is which is more fun to say lol
Honestly its so small of a detail but they could have just easily called it drachma and be done but no they made a whole new currency name.
Like why? I really want to just know why supergiant?
In fact i am posting that in #ask-supergiant right now

The tradition was though 2 drachma
half zephyr
I was taught it in school..
hallow peak
Huh
Its one obol in the mouth
Because eyelids don't shut once you are dead. So they placed coins over the eyes of the dead to keep them shut. It's an old tradition,the coins are there so the dead can pay Charon to ferry them over the Styx river to the land of the dead.
I learned mine from a similar situtuation

Does selecting a Keepsake influence the seed of a run? For example, if I select Zeus's keepsake, will the seed have Zeus as one of the gods in the run in future rooms?
modern garnet
i dont know what it does to the seed
but it does add the god to your "pool"
once you have boons from 4 gods, you will only get boons from those gods for that run, unless you pick a god keepsake after you got 4 gods

It does. It ensures your first boon will at least have the selected god as your next boon. Or if there are two doors that’s always going to be an option

This
peak orbit
It does
rigid crane
That text is confusing
modern garnet
Yeah, it's a little dense, lemme see if I can rephrase
peak orbit
So with no special keepsakes you just get a random pool of 4 gods
With an Olympian keepsake you can guarantee one god you want will show up
modern garnet
Every run you start with an empty God pool. Every time you get a boon from a God, that God is added to your pool. If you have 4+ Gods in your pool, doors that give you boons will never give you Gods outside of your pool, with 2 exceptions
Exception 1 is hermes, hermes can always be offered and doesn't add to your pool
rigid crane
Aah
Ok, so u can have a max of 4 gods per run
And accepting a boon from them locks them in for the run
modern garnet
Exception 2 is that if you wear a god keepsake, they will show up even if they're not in your pool, and they will be added to your pool once you get a boon from them
If you have 4 gods in your pool in tartarus, you can wear a keepsake from a God outside of your pool, and when you get that boon, that God will be added to your pool, and then you have 5 Gods in your pool
