I-I...

#

I killed dad in his big boi phaseeee

half zephyr
#

cool

#

congrats

glass salmon
#

Anyone know how I could unlock the last heart?

#

The only one I unlocked was Charon

half zephyr
#

who is the last heart?

#

you mean in the codex?

#

or?

olive smelt
#

I wanna cry now 🄲

half zephyr
signal aspen
rare briar
#

i'm on mac

half zephyr
#

try fn+f10 or so

#

mac usually needs an extra key to activate stuff

chilly sonnet
#

Finally escaped with rail

half zephyr
#

tends to be either fn or cmd

chilly sonnet
#

I didn’t realize there were boons that give you buffs after a call

#

So I got athenas call and whenever I used it I got 35% damage buff at 39% move speed and dodge chance

#

So lol

signal aspen
#

Nice

chilly sonnet
#

Beat dad without taking 55 damage total

#

Also used acorn tho so that helped

#

Now for the hard part. Heat

signal aspen
#

How long are your runs?

chilly sonnet
#

For that statue thing someone mentioned do you have to beat 32 heat with every weapon or just once

signal aspen
#

Once

half zephyr
#

once

chilly sonnet
#

Normally around 27-33min but I’ve had 40min runs before with slower weapons like stygian

half zephyr
#

you really wanna just jump straight to 32?

chilly sonnet
#

Or whatever the sword is called I always forget

signal aspen
#

Stygius

chilly sonnet
#

Oops replying to @half zephyr there

chilly sonnet
#

Unless the statue is required for other stuff

half zephyr
#

you get 9 minutes in each biome

signal aspen
chilly sonnet
#

I usually just do the one where enemies take one hit before taking damage because it doesn’t really affect much

#

I’m on switch

signal aspen
half zephyr
#

but the leftover time gets added to your next biome if you don't spend it all

signal aspen
#

Or build

half zephyr
chilly sonnet
#

Yeah

signal aspen
#

Oh

chilly sonnet
half zephyr
#

there's not even any achievements to 100%

#

no, just

#

how do you decide when you've done 100%?

signal aspen
#

Whenever somebody wants to complete 100% of a game there are usually achievements to complete

half zephyr
#

^

chilly sonnet
#

I know I’ll just accomplish everything there is to accomplish

half zephyr
#

aha

#

so

#

you'll get all the badges then

#

and all the furniture

#

and the themes

#

good luck bunnygirlroll

signal aspen
#

Buying everything from the contractor sucks

half zephyr
#

it's a slow process

#

gimme more gems game!
pls
there's so few pr chamber rewards it hurts

chilly sonnet
#

I guess? I don’t know about half the content in the game so idk what I’m gonna do yet

signal aspen
#

I have 250 hours and I still don't have enough gems to get everything

half zephyr
#

and you need a lot of darkness for the badges hehe

olive smelt
#

Guys I beat the first run :D

#

In like 17 runs or something-

chilly sonnet
#

Lucky it took me like 25 lmao

olive smelt
#

I don't remember how long really

half zephyr
#

I can't remember how many runs it took anymore, but I do remember it took me about 29 mins - and that I used malphon/fists

#

both the 1st & 2nd clear

#

3rd & 4th clear was with rail

olive smelt
#

I had to use the Aegis shield

sacred tendon
#

when you get Huge Catch room one and the first fish spawns on room... 19 dusa

chilly sonnet
#

I used vartha and exclusively used special

#

Because I thought it was fun

#

Also Japanese guy you were right Zeus attack is busted

Especially with jolted

#

@chilly sonnet how the heck do you have 30min runs

#

i swear runs can take me like an hour

half zephyr
#

what do you do during your runs?

stiff musk
#

cry when elysium shields

#

afk with eurydice for an hour (and cry)

half zephyr
#

but

#

time is paused when with eurydice

stiff musk
#

oh you guys are talking abt game time

half zephyr
#

yes

#

game time

chilly sonnet
stiff musk
#

i dont time.my games im just saying i usually take an hour of actual time

chilly sonnet
#

Now I know

half zephyr
stiff musk
#

how much time do you have

half zephyr
#

on/for what?

stiff musk
#

the time heat

half zephyr
#

I only really do TD1 atm

#

since I don't wanna accidentally lose my streak hehe

stiff musk
#

do you get a bonus for streak?

half zephyr
#

I could do TD2 though since I'm usually left with 16+ mins at Hades

half zephyr
stiff musk
#

or is it just a personal thing

#

How good would you say Splitting Bolt is?

#

Let's say i get Lightning Strike on Twin Fists and get Splitting Bolt

brisk trail
#

Depends on the build, though generally I'd say it's quite strong.

#

Oh, that's S+++ tier.

peak orbit
#

YAAAAAAYYYYY

#

I'M GOING TO MURDER EVERYTHING I TOUCH

brisk trail
#

The more rapidly you drop lightning bolts the more you benefit from Splitting Bolt.

peak orbit
#

Does the lightning bolt also affect the first target I strike?

brisk trail
#

Yes.

sacred tendon
#

the lightning effects cover the enemy sprite

stiff musk
#

wait

#

do you guys pronounce it hae-dees or haeeds

peak orbit
#

Hey question. How does Splitting Bolt work?

half zephyr
peak orbit
#

Let’s say Lightning Strike for Splitting Bolt. Does that mean each chain does an additional 40 damage?

half zephyr
stiff musk
#

i dont read wacky characters

half zephyr

that's how it's written when you wanna see how it's pronounced

Question, I have been giving a character a lot of nectar, and now there is a heart in the codex with a key lock icon on it. What does that mean?

You unlock the heart by doing a favor

glass salmon

#

generally each person has a "favor" that you need to complete in order to unlock their heart

dusk whale
modern garnet
#

sometimes the favor is obvious and sometimes its not

glass salmon
modern garnet
#

demeter: after epilogue
artemis: talk to her a lot? idk
aphrodite: get into 2 relationships
athena: clear many runs
poseidon: fish enough fish (18)
nyx: ||reunite nyx and chaos||
hades: beat the game

glass salmon
glass salmon
#

I've won with every weapon except the spear

modern garnet
#

oh right brain fart

#

hades: reach credits

glass salmon
#

I thought ||hades and nyx were together||

modern garnet
#

nyx is chaos's child

glass salmon
#

What about all the Olympic gods?

glass salmon
modern garnet
#

they just dont talk much

#

the thing with all these favors is that you have to accomplish the requirement and then keep talking to them until the conversation RNG rolls around

glass salmon
#

I wonder how I didn't get the Athena one then

#

I literally have her as the starter boon and I pick her every time

#

@modern garnet you seem to know a lot about the game. Which version of the game should I play? The default one or the vulkan one?

narrow hemlock
#

clarification: artemis has 7 pieces of dialogue about callipso, you need to see all of them

glass salmon
narrow hemlock
#

she will mention her.

#

if you don't know then artemis hasnt brought it up yet

modern garnet
#

I'm on linux so vulkan doesn't work for me, because of graphics drivers. I don't know the difference

glass salmon
#

What's the best way to earn diamonds? Collecting them till I reach Styx and buy it or trade for it?

#

Cause I want to unlock that thing that looks like a chaos gate

#

Oh I'm pretty sure it's called an infernal gate

narrow hemlock
#

some prophecies give them out. a note on infernal gates, you can only use them at 5/10/15 heat. 5 heat opens the gates in tartarus, 10 heat opens the gates in tartarus and asphodel, 15 heat opens the gates in those regions and elysium

#

and of course at any higher heat over 15 they'll all be open

#

but those are the minimum values

glass salmon
#

Wait so I don't need to purchase them?

narrow hemlock
#

you do but i'm pointing out that if you can't clear high heat then it's not of any value currently

modern garnet
#

do you understand the heat system?

glass salmon
modern garnet
#

by using heat you can get diamonds by killing the bone hydra

glass salmon
#

I watched a video about them when I got my first clear

glass salmon
#

Ima try that tomorrow

#

But for now. It's 6am and I'll probably gts

modern garnet
#

gn!

glass salmon
#

Gn, ima probably talk here again tomorrow

#

Thanks for your help @narrow hemlock @modern garnet

#

Wait so before I sleep. It's 15 for the diamond in asphodel right?

modern garnet
#

?

#

you don't understand heat, i think

#

the first time killing a boss with a weapon you can get the reward with 0 heat. the second time you can get the reward with 1 heat, the third time it'll be with 2 heat, and so on

#

of course, the heat doesn't increase if you don't get the reward

#

since you've never used heat, you'll only need 1 heat

glass salmon
#

Wait. That's actually so easy then

modern garnet
#

sure

#

the point tatz was trying to make was that the infernal gates are only worth it once you're at 5 heat

#

because you can only use the gate when you have 5+ heat

glass salmon
#

Oh alright

narrow hemlock
#

at 5 heat the asphodel and elysium gates will be locked, at 10 heat the elysium gates are locked (but tbh elysium gate is rarely worth the attempt), under the 5 heat and tartarus gate will be locked. so yeah unless you regularly play at these heat levels i would suggest saving your diamonds

rare gust
#

Question: Do Chaos' attack buff negate Sisyphus'

narrow hemlock
#

no

#

the keepsake is only affected by your core boon slots

modern garnet
#

urge to kill works the same way, right?

HOH

eurydices song is honestly one of if not the best vocal tracks ive ever heard in a video game

#

Other than being my favorite character Than might be my favorite mechanic. If you're doing well and want more, you aggressively kill anyone he targets to go for that extra health but if you're fearful of dying or want to save as much of your current health as possible you can hide behind him and let him kill everything for you. Whenever he throws down his circle of death it really exemplifies this. Sometimes your trying to quickly push enemies out of it to get a higher kill score and others you push and lure enemies into it to get rid of dangerous threats faster. Sometimes you even change which goal you're going for mid fight.

#

Wish he was in every game.

sinful reef
#

Eurydice is the best ! room

half zephyr
#

patty is the best

#

he can save your whole run

sinful reef
#

Nah

half zephyr
#

yah

#

giving back all dd for free if you've lost some ia_love

cinder belfry
#

He can undo all your past mistakes

half zephyr
#

mhm

#

and if you haven't made any he can boost your attack for like 6 rooms or so

modern garnet
#

which hopefully takes you to the champions

half zephyr
#

or if you really need some hp he's got you covered there too!

modern garnet
#

I do take the health one more often than I maybe should

half zephyr
#

for me it's always either dd or atk

modern garnet
#

sometimes my run is going a bit sloppy and if i can just get the health to tide me over to champions, I can make it

half zephyr
#

with eurydice I do like what she does, but I also feel more comfortable skipping her

#

I can do just fine without a couple random lvl or rarity boosts - or future boon rarity upgrade

cinder belfry
#

To me his options are make you unkillable, make you unkillable, or you're already unkillable so here is some more damage.

half zephyr
#

mhm

modern garnet
#

"future boon rarity" has really made some runs fantastic for me

#

the other ones... i havent noticed the effect

half zephyr
#

ye, but I can also buy that from the well y'know

#

cheaper then the kiss of styx one

modern garnet
#

ah, my well rng is so bad

half zephyr
#

the yarn is like 75 obols

#

kiss is 200..

modern garnet
#

the yarn is cheap but it never shows up!!

half zephyr
#

shows up often for me ia_gg

modern garnet
#

now the real question is sisyphus

half zephyr
#

bouldy

modern garnet
#

do you take your 100 gold before or after getting your bouldy boon

half zephyr
#

I'm very comfy skipping the room entirely

#

but if I do enter it, I talk to bouldy first

#

I once got 9% obol bonus

modern garnet
#

oh damn

half zephyr
#

very nice bonus

modern garnet
#

i got 3% and i thought i was riding high

blissful mica
#

are there any characters that give you multiple items for gifting them nectars?

#

or do you only get the keepsake for the first nectar and then you never get another thing out of it?

#

(please tag me, anyone that answers, so that i have it in my mentions list ā¤ļø )

opaque star
#

@blissful mica every character only gives you one keepsake, some will however give you a companion if you talk a lot with them and give them a certain amount of ambrosia

#

however to be able to give ambrosia you need to have given the character as much nectar as they can take

blissful mica
#

ah ok

#

thanks

#

ugh and i forget

#

how do you first meet demeter?

#

don't you have to beat the champion + bull?

#

wowwww i just spoiled something hilarious for myself

#

(bouldy)

cerulean ferry
blissful mica
#

sigh... oh, how i love this game

#

oh hades?

cerulean ferry
#

Yeah

blissful mica
#

yeah... i had found her when i was getting to hades in my previous bit of playing

#

i never actually beat hades though lol

cloud pollen
#

I wish they would release a new content update

blissful mica
#

im sure they will in time

#

i think it'd be awesome to do a huge dlc where you fight in olympus

#

as a sort of competition "for sport" thing

#

maybe a colosseum type deal but with a few biomes

cloud pollen
#

that sounds awesome xD

blissful mica
#

it'd be really really cool as the biomes would be completely different (much lighter/brighter in palette)

#

yeah it'd be amazing i think

cloud pollen
#

I will pay any amount of cash for a big dlc

blissful mica
#

and you can fight all of the olympian gods

#

in the tourny

#

given that this and hollow knight are probably the two best games ever made by small, independent studios, im inclined to agree that more of either game/series is always better

#

and given that supergiant tends to make an IP and then move on to create something else that is entirely new/different, I'd say now is the time to do more content in its world rather than at any other time

dusky wedge
#

As far as history goes with SGG, there probably won’t be any DLC from them for this game. But it’s good to hope shadegrief

blissful mica
#

because i would like to see supergiant continue doing that, making new ip's with each game opposed to ever doing sequels. there is something incredibly respectable about that

#

have any of their previous games been as large in scope though?

#

im not sure how pyre or transmitter (iirc, might be the wrong title) compare in size

#

im positive bastion was smaller

dusky wedge
#

Large in scope as in?

blissful mica
#

size of game

#

length, amount of characters and worldbuilding

dusky wedge
#

Every single one of their game is expandable, if that’s what you mean

#

Oh. Well, Pyre has a lot of replayability as well, with lots of choices in the story

sinful reef
#

Indeed

blissful mica
#

the thing with hades is that it has the ability to be expanded, particularly in the way that i mentioned a minute ago with zag fighting in a tourny in a couple of biomes against the various gods. that would be so fun. i'd rather see them do a dlc, if they ever do more in the hades IP, than a sequel.

sinful reef
#

I'm very scared to play it on harder difficulty

blissful mica
#

i never go with hard difficulty in games that strictly say that the normal difficulty is the one that was the original intention

#

mostly cuz i want to experience what they wanted to create.. but im also not a glutton for punishment

sinful reef
#

I am going to replay pyre

#

On higher difficulty

#

I fear it

blissful mica
#

but yeah hades is so fast paced and fun... all of supergiant's other games, to me, are slower

#

but you have to hand it to this dev, seriously

#

they are extremely creative

sinful reef
#

I agree with that

blissful mica
#

they never do the same thing twice, in terms of IP or gameplay

dusky wedge
#

Hades, in essence, is a culmination of all their previous games before this, with bits of elements taken from those game being incorporated into Hades and molded into a roguelite

blissful mica
#

always experimenting with new things. in an industry that mostly is made up of franchises and one-trick pony developers, supergiant really stands apart as a group of folks that are constantly trying to explore new avenues. they really push themselves to the brink, creatively.

#

they went all in on voice acting and number of characters in this game as compred to all previous

dusky wedge
#

If anything else, Hades is the product of the experimentations in the past

blissful mica
#

the voice acting in all of their games has always been some of the absolute best in all of gaming, but this one took it to an entirely new level in terms of a diverse cast of characters and voices. and the writing is impeccable. damn game is a masterpiece lol..

sinful reef
#

I personally look forward to future titles as they can only get better

blissful mica
#

and i keep saying it.. i hope they never make a sequel. ever.

#

to any game

sinful reef
#

Hades 2: dad is back and he's pissed

blissful mica
#

i just would love to see them bust out new ip after new ip, in perpetuity

#

it'd be amazing if they made an arpg kinda like zelda

#

with a giant worldspace

#

sinful reef
#

Hm

blissful mica
#

overhead 2d

sinful reef
#

That's an interesting idea

blissful mica
#

with their style? a link to the past type of game but their unique take on it (up to and including gameplay)

#

that would be one of the best games ever made, calling it

sinful reef
#

Hades:On the surface because yes also open world because heh heh

blissful mica
#

definitely not hades

#

but something new

#

they would wreck face doing that sort of game

sinful reef
#

Hades 2:Not hades

blissful mica
#

nah.

sinful reef
#

I'm thinking up some great titles here

blissful mica
#

nah too hades-centric

#

they should never touch this IP with a stick, ever again.

#

same with any of their other ip's.

#

always something new. which is what they do

Ah never mind

Totally understood

#

though I wouldn't put Rail and Fists on any 'easy'

signal aspen
#

if you said non zag aspects then i would order them differently

dusky wedge
#

I felt fists were easy enough to use, while shield was the safe option to use

#

Nah, just zag aspects, for newer players

signal aspen
#

wait, do you mean weapons or aspects with abilities and buffs?

dusky wedge
#

Just the basic zag aspects of every weapon, non-upgraded

signal aspen
#

oh

#

hold on

#

spear, sword, bow, fists, shield, rail

gaunt ridge
#

(Zag) Bow looks uncomplicated but surprisingly easy for player to screw up

dusky wedge
#

Is that because of the flexibility of the spear? Or the mid range reach of it’s attack? Or anything else?

signal aspen
#

its because the spear is easy to use

#

and it is pretty flexible

dusky wedge
#

I see

#

Also, obviously, this would depends largely on what your playstyle is, right? So we need to know player preference most of the time

signal aspen
#

yeah

#

the way i ranked the weapons was mostly based on my old playstyle

#

Spear is basically Sword but safer to use

so there's not much to re-learn for players

Also if you have something that does extra damage to undamaged enemies does getting rid of the blue hearts from damage control take away the bonus?

probably

Thought so just thought it was worth asking

actually im not sure about that, i think they still count as undamaged until their shield or healthbar has actually been lowered

but dont quote me on that

that would make sense, the blue hearts are there to stop them taking damage right so in theory.. that could check out

dont quote me on that either

quick question to anyone who feels like answering, what's your favorite weapons? in my friend group theres a general tendency towards gun, but im personally a fan of sword

#

im curious what the main majority of players like most

craggy vapor
#

Personally I prefer the bow and the shield. The fists are rather fun. The gun I can never seem to have reliable damage output towards end game, as for the spear and sword I get way to dash happy and end up taking a lot of unnecessary damage.

brisk trail
#

that makes sense, i think shield tends to be a close second to gun when ive asked people before

#

I've also realized that spear is generally a lot more poular for new players

#

spear used to be my favorite but then i started to realize that although it flows quite nicely, it doesn't really have the dps to keep up with something like sword, and it gets outranged by bow. it doesn't have a unique ability like shield, so for me personally i only really put spear above fists

so at the end of a run you should have 4 or 5 gods

Trials can only show up if you have boons from 2+ gods and will only have gods that you already have boons from.

If you pick up a boon and sell it later, it still counts towards that.
