brisk trail

#

the badge is really just cosmetic

half zephyr
#

badge is just a late game resource sink

hollow hawk
#

advancing the badge gives you a feeling of purpose in the world

#

but not much else

#

Walking into a boss fight with 4 health

#

I lost my death defiance coz I was messing around with the morphis gauntlets

Good name

glass salmon
#

Ive talked to Artemis Atleast 5 times but still haven't gotten the infernal arms

hollow hawk
#

glass salmon
brisk trail
#

rama maybe

glass salmon
hollow hawk
#

glass salmon
#

Yes

#

I have the aspect of guan yu and I put 5 titan blood into bow aspects

hollow hawk
#

are you hunting every day and sacrificing your hunt to lady artemis irl?

#

because if not, id try that

glass salmon
#

One sec lemme call Artemis rq

#

Wait. Does it count if I maxed out my aspect and I use the aspect of Hera to talk to Artemis?

#

Cause I've been using hera the whole time

hollow hawk
#

yeah

#

doesnt matter what you have equipped

cerulean ferry
#

I don't think it matters what aspect or weapon you use

glass salmon
#

Weird

glass salmon
hollow hawk
#

for some hidden aspects

#

not for all

#

just keep starting runs with artemis keepsake i guess

#

also dont just give up after you dont get the dialogue

#

make sure to die

brisk trail
#

its just rng

glass salmon
#

It acts as if you've never played that round

sacred prism
#

Do the Gods ever realize why you are trying to get out of the underworld?

|| They'll figure it out in the end ||

uncut dagger

||they'll "figure it out" in the end||

clear python
#

Im excited to discover that lol

craggy vapor
#

Is it just me or does Aphrodite become incredibly more flirtatious with Zag after a bond has been forged?

signal aspen
#

i think

clear python
#

I think she always like that

sacred prism
#

Which heat upgrades are the easiest? I use heightened security and the fee thing.

brisk trail
#

If you find you can already clear quickly, Tight Deadline is literally free Heat.

crude surge
#

Extreme measures is good for the earlier bosses

signal aspen
crude surge
#

Damage control is also pretty free if your using a fast wepon

sacred prism
#

I take longer than thirty minutes so I can't do tight deadline

signal aspen
brisk trail
#

TD1 is 36 minutes.

signal aspen
#

jury summons isnt that bad at low heat

sacred prism
#

What about convenience fee

signal aspen
#

its fine

#

i normally dont take it

crude surge
#

Is hard labor or lasting consequences better?

sacred prism
#

What does extreme measures one do?

signal aspen
crude surge
#

EM makes bosses harder

signal aspen
crude surge
#

But one per rank

signal aspen
#

so if you fight meg then alecto and tis might come and attack you

patent burrow
#

But then you are not left to fight with another boss after you defeat one, its not like the third boss battle.

sterile coyote
#

DLC for hades?

signal aspen
sterile coyote
#

Oh

clear python
#

I doubt there will be a dlc

unborn remnant
#

they're just patching yeah

#

I dont think they'd work on a new project for at least another year or so

#

Hades doesn't really need DLC though, as cool as it would be

#

the game is perfectly fine the way it is

#

and could you imagine if the dlc comes out and dissapoints? It would be a pr nightmare with how much critical acclaim the game got

craggy vapor
#

Question, when undergoing a Trial of the Gods, does one God grant a potentially higher rarity or stronger boon if chosen first or last?

signal aspen
craggy vapor
#

coolio, trying to get Divine Protection from Athena as I have Brilliant Riposte

sacred prism
#

Extreme measures one is extremely easy

signal aspen
sacred prism
#

Why is bone hydra sometimes blue and sometimse orange

signal aspen
half zephyr
#

different heads

signal aspen
#

also that

clear python
#

I guess that if it was always the same head in middle

#

Lernie would go mad loool

#

I hate the heads who make extra ennemies appear

half zephyr
#

they die so fast tho

clear python
#

It stresses mee cuz too many stuff on screen suddenly x"D

unborn remnant
#

Zeus attack go brrrr

clear python
#

Brrr

#

Oh and what are the best boons for the 3rd aspect of the bow?

craggy vapor
#

Without a doubt the hardest boss in the game is the one least expected

sour vigil
#

Recommendations for aspect of chaos build?

clear python
brisk trail
#

whats the third aspect again

#

For the shield or bow?

uncut dagger
brisk trail
#

Bow is Hera, using Cast loads them into your next Attack.

#

oh use aphro cast then

clear python
#

I will do if i can then :D

brisk trail
#

👍

craggy vapor
clear python
#

Oki

#

Lol about the boon

#

I had ice boon for the cast then i got aphro's one as replacement lining up with advice

#

I get across ice lady again and she proposes higher quality cast boon

#

Its a competition lol

carmine ravine
unborn remnant
#

It was a hypothetical

brisk trail
#

It still wouldn't be a PR nightmare.

unborn remnant
#

okay, so I overestimated it

#

sorry :(

clear python
#

What is pr?

unborn remnant
#

Public relations

#

basically people who make statements for the company

clear python
#

:oo

#

Wait how have i got 705 obols in tartarus??????

unborn remnant
#

chaos boon?

#

705? sure thats right?

carmine ravine
#

You use poseidon or chaos boon yes

brisk trail
unborn remnant
#

makes for an interesting theorycraft point

#

how much money can you get by the end of tartarus

modern garnet
#

If you run into a pom without any boons you get a lotta gold

carmine ravine
#

I mean if u got legendaries and sell them probably

brisk trail
clear python
#

Havent got any Chaos boon

unborn remnant
#

we need more context

clear python
#

I just play normally

#

No chaos

#

Come across Artemis boons, Poseidons

#

I dont remember going across much coins like its tartarus

#

I enter charon shop and i see the money i have quite confused lol

brisk trail
#

hermes obols per room?

clear python
carmine ravine
#

Did you fought charon?

clear python
#

No

carmine ravine
brisk trail
#

well you can buy him but i realize now that would be a net loos in tartarus

#

loss*

signal aspen
#

You can get hermes from the mid shop but it will not give you that many obols

brisk trail
#

you wouldnt make back the money fast enough while in tartarus

clear python
#

Wait after i kill Alecto i will check my poseidon boons

#

But im so sure to have picked nothing related with money

#

Or my brains died

brisk trail
#

proof or it didnt happen

#

jk

#

but pics would be nice

clear python
#

I have spent a bit so 421 is left

#

But let me try

brisk trail
#

fair enough

clear python
#

Absolutely no clue how it works

#

Sorry if its oddly sent or nothing

violet chasm
#

btw when getting Eurydice rewards, are extra levels or upgraded rarities typically better?

uncut dagger
#

it depends
some Boons can't be leveled up, but they can increase in rarity (ex: Rare Crop)

clear python
nova marlin
#

I typically go for rarity upgrades from her, as they are, pun intended, rarer and leveling up can be done by other means

brisk trail
#

yeah i can see most stuff

#

whats the black skull in the middle of the boons/

#

?*

clear python
brisk trail
#

oh gotcha

clear python
#

I mean i almost got killed by Alecto oof

brisk trail
#

yeah man that is so odd i got no clue how you have so much money

#

maybe you just got really lucky with pots?

brisk trail
clear python
#

Yeah she is

#

but i really survived cuz she stepped on a trap

#

wait

#

i had dds wouldn’t have died completly

#

oop

unborn remnant
#

Alecto is the most difficult of the 3 imo

brisk trail
#

yeah, meg is kind of a joke and tisiphone isnt too bad

#

alecto's lade rift things are what usually hit me

#

blade*

clear python
#

I think i don’t fight Alecto as main fighter that often x’D

sacred prism
#

What is the private room for?

wheat anvil
#

Can we all agree Lernie is easiest boss

clear python
#

and yeah her rolling stuffs are super murderous

brisk trail
clear python
#

i don’t really know

sacred prism
#

The one that achilles gives you a key for

unborn remnant
#

gonna do a dash only run again

brisk trail
#

far*

clear python
#

i think the difficulty varies for me closely with my tiredness level lol

unborn remnant
#

naturally

sacred prism
#

Yes

stiff musk
#

meg is def easier than lernie

sacred prism
#

I found the picture frame but is there anything else

stiff musk
#

sometimes lernie can get claustrophobic

wheat anvil
#

Meg alone or with her sisters?

stiff musk
#

you have to fight all 3

wheat anvil
#

Meg is little and swifty, you can get caught.

stiff musk
#

what

#

what

brisk trail
unborn remnant
#

postclear spoilers

stiff musk
#

yeah with meg you have all the space in the world

brisk trail
#

meg telegraphs her attacks pretty obviously

stiff musk
#

yes

clear python
#

I hate full witches rooomsss

stiff musk
#

unless you have divine dash

#

then b once and everyones dead

clear python
#

I love divine boons attack em

#

its really satisfying

#

but rn im not blessed with Athena’s powers

stiff musk
#

have you taken the keepsake mid biome

clear python
#

Hers?

stiff musk
#

yes

clear python
#

Nah

#

îhoped i would be lucky

stiff musk
#

owl pendant is always my first switch if i dont have divine dash

clear python
#

these times i often took the last keepsake(?) or at least the last one i got but now i try Eurydice’s

stiff musk
#

i switch to acorn either third or last biome depending on build

#

if i feel i have enough dps or have regen i dont bother

brisk trail
#

yeah acorn is very strong

sacred prism
#

Is tidal dash good?

brisk trail
#

yes

clear python
#

What is todal dash?

#

i mean wish god’s’

#

*?

brisk trail
#

poseidon

wheat anvil
#

I like poseidon's call. super strong

clear python
#

Oooh rn i have his’call

#

im not used using it

sacred prism
#

tidal: relating to or affected by tides. Poseidon: god of the waters

wheat anvil
#

Hard to control, but when you hit them, boom\

sacred prism
#

Who is the best god to anger?

carmine ravine
#

yes, poseidon call is very fun with smoldering air

carmine ravine
#

or dio

clear python
#

:ooo

brisk trail
#

athena i agree with, i usually pick zeus if hes an option

#

his attacks take a while to actually hit, you have a lot of time to dodge

#

same with ares and artemis

sacred prism
#

Athena is a bad choice in the third place

#

Is there a way to do a regular call when your gauge is maxed?

thick oar
#

Testicle teeth

ancient crest
#

super random question, but does anyone have a link to some screencaps of the pre-run Hades cutscenes?

manic bobcat
#

like the menacing hades pic with a word below it?

feral kraken
#

I have a big brain question.

#

Can you do multiple relationships in hades?

hexed smelt
#

yup!

feral kraken
#

Like in p5?

hexed smelt
#

well

#

it's not technically like persona 5, because that suggests zag is cheating on his partners

feral kraken
#

Damn we get a p5 ending after that don’t we

feral kraken
signal aspen
#

Nothing bad happens

feral kraken
#

So more polyamorous

hexed smelt
#

yup!

feral kraken
#

Are there exclusive dialogue to polyamory compared to monogamy?

hexed smelt
#

there's a fair few conversations about it, yeah!

feral kraken
#

Would you do a poly or mono for your save file?

hexed smelt
#

i mean.... i like seeing content, i don't like not seeing content, so yeah i'm gonna go with the polyamory shadesmile

modern garnet
#

achilles says poly relationships are normal for gods

#

I don't think there's any dialogue for being in only one relationship

unborn remnant
#

I hope Zag makes it into smash as at least a mii costume

#

I could see it

#

maybe In The Blood as a special track? or Out of Tartarus?

chilly sonnet
#

There is one instance like that in the game lmao

manic bobcat
wheat anvil
#

Sucks there are no romance options.

manic bobcat
#

are we playing the same game?

carmine ravine
#

Maybe he wants to romance artemis

wheat anvil
#

It's a game about greek gods.

manic bobcat
#

or maybe it's sarcasm?

#

i can't read it tbh

wheat anvil
#

??

#

It's a game about Greek gods.

#

And it's all about narrative.

manic bobcat
#

I mean the game does have romance options.

wheat anvil
#

Greek gods fornicated... ALOT

manic bobcat
#

I know

wheat anvil
#

Alas

manic bobcat
#

Also it's a roguelite, I picked it up first and foremost because I like the gameplay ngl

wheat anvil
#

Yea

#

gameplay is sick

manic bobcat
#

The narrative was a nice bonus

wheat anvil
#

Agree there

manic bobcat
#

But yeah, the game does have romance options and there are scenes where they ||definitely play boardgame together in Zag's bedroom||

wheat anvil
#

I seee

manic bobcat
#

I guess what you can say is that the options are "limited," but I don't mind personally.

wheat anvil
#

I can deal with that.

#

At least it's in there.

manic bobcat
#

Yeah, you can even play a three player boardgame if you so choose squirtdevious
Though, the boardgame is implied, not shown, so zero fan service in the game.

carmine ravine
#

I dont think we need to show them, not like that certain zombie game

manic bobcat
#

yeah, it works in the context of the game

Has anyone made a mindblowing revelation on Aphrodite's status to the rest of the crew?

narrow hemlock
#

status?

granite ether
rapid forum
modern garnet
#

Is this about how aphrodite isn't blood related to the other olympians

crude surge
#

She isn’t?

narrow hemlock
#

given all the dialogue I've gone through the other Olympians speak to her with a distinctly more respectful tone than they do with one other so im inclined to think hades goes with the variation of aph that is less closely related

#

they refer to each other with familial terms but aph is always spoken to politely

#

pay close attention next you play to how the olympians speak to each other and how they speak to aphrodite peaceborb

deep pivot

Got to love the hidden lore aphro

So real talk

#

are they going to make an Hades 2? or make a 1.2 or something and add like greece or the gods that we didn't get to see in Olympus

granite ether
#

Personally I think it's highly unlikely they'd make a sequel or large piece of dlc content like that

uncut dagger
#

hmmm, it'd be hard to make a sell for that kind of thing
I think a spiritual successor featuring characters from Roman Mythology could be fun, though

granite ether
#

As for what SGG are gonna do next, we'll just have to wait and see :3

uncut dagger
#

hell (heh heh), they could make a ton of games based off of all the Mythologies as long as they don't burn themselves out and they have fun and creative ideas

uncut dagger
granite ether
#

Same ^_^

clear python
#

Can i ask a question about epilogue stuff?

dusky wedge
#

As far as mythologies goes, I think Greek mythology was chosen just because it was very convenient to the roguelike nature of the game

#

Go ahead

clear python
#

I can ask anything about it? Will still cover up what i ask but wanna be sure

dusky wedge
#

The only place you should still spoiler tag your chats in this server is in #h1-for-new-players , anywhere else is fine

clear python
#

Oh!

#

Wait i thought it was meant to be done almost everywhere x"D

dusky wedge
#

Nah, just in that channel, any other channel is fine

clear python
#

Oki :D

#

So here what i wonder:

#

I have already got the queen back and kept playing trying to deepen bonds with other gods for the plan

#

Apparently the plan goes on cuz now Zag has to get gods invited

#

But is it fine when i havent forged everyone's bond?

dusky wedge
#

It’s fine, the game doesn’t end, it never ends, even after the end credits

#

So, there’s plenty of time to do whatever you want, in any order that you want

clear python
#

Oki! I just thought i was going to mess the plan up

#

If the bonding wasnt fully compmete

#

*complete

dusky wedge
#

Nah, it’s going to be fine, just follow the prophecy

#

And keep giving everyone nectar and ambrosia whenever you have the chance for it, just so you don’t waste too much time

clear python
#

Yeah for a while forgot to do so

This not releventBut also really is: 12+ years old people Can get vaccine now in the US!

clear python
#

Really?

stiff musk
#

yes

clear python
#

I mean would play Hades no matter what lol or else would be ded lol

stiff musk
#

dead = no hades

#

vaccinated = not dead

therefore vaccinated = more hades

if you die you get to visit hades

how long would it take to reach the credits with only dash

it's just to make your room look cluttered & lived in

I probably just had the most god build with Aegis I've ever had
Was fighting the Minotaur duo, killed the human, Minotaur was on maybe a few hits off, I ran out of death defiance and ate a direct hit bruh

signal aspen
#

rip

crude moon
#

Furthest I had gotten to, in that fight anyway, I usually lose when the guy calls a god

signal aspen
#

you should kill minotaur first

#

its a lot easier to kill theseus in that phase when the minotaur is dead

crude moon
#

I was going to town on both of them because Aegis with Doom and Hangover, both went down equally, but the Minotaur jumped around so he got hit a bit less

pastel ridge
#

how do i fight the kharon

#

and whats the reward

signal aspen
#

you have to kill the final boss once

crude moon
#

Update: next run, wrecked both of em up real good. God bless hangover and doom on Aegis

signal aspen
#

and then there is like a 20% chance to see a yellow money bag behind him

Can I get a hell yeah

signal aspen
crude moon

#

if you win you get 300 obols and a 20% discount from all shop items

Get it and buy the 1k item jn Styx

Always worth

Does the garden do anything besides exist

no

chilly sonnet

Cause you can't even make it prettier with house contractor

sometimes persephone is there

#

and sometimes hades and persephone are there

That's a shame, would've been cool if you could use gemstones for stuff to grow some plants and stuff

and once you do the epilogue there will be something there

#

thats true, but i tend to just try and make most bosses be a dps contest

also i only give that advice to new players

#

i dont really care anymore

crude moon
#

Beat the first wave of the final boss on my first go

#

At least, I assume it's the final boss

signal aspen
#

nice

crude moon
#

I have an Ambrosia, is it only used to trade for titan blood?

signal aspen
#

it is used to fill unlocked hearts

crude moon
#

Isn't that what Nectar does

signal aspen
#

sorta

brisk trail
#

nectar does up to a point

#

the last few hearts come from ambrosia

void vigil
#

ambrosia is advanced nectar, basically

signal aspen
#

but when you give them enough nectar you will run into a locked heart

crude moon
#

Does giving them nectar/ambrosia actually net anything apart from new codex stuff and the keepsake

signal aspen
#

certain characters will give you a companion

#

but thats pretty much it

void vigil
#

companions are also upgradable using ambrosia, so hold onto it

crude moon
#

Does that certain include Artemis?

void vigil
#

no

crude moon
#

What about Ares

signal aspen
#

most of them are in the house of hades

crude moon
#

Ah alright

brisk trail
signal aspen
#

well you need to give nectar to patty

#

you might need to max him on nectar too

#

and skelly isnt associated with hades

brisk trail
#

but hes in the house... kinda

Patty?

that gives you stuff

#

Can you beat Hades heat with Cast only?

signal aspen
#

yeah

unborn remnant
#

I think that might be harder than Dash only

signal aspen
#

cast only is easy

unborn remnant
#

im sure it is

#

dash only was a walk in the park though

#

I guess the hardest would be Call only?

signal aspen
#

yeah

unborn remnant
#

because you have to wait for that meter

signal aspen
#

but then it will be sorta easy with smoldering air

unborn remnant
#

assuming you get it

#

I wonder what the highest heat for dash only could be

#

Do you think 32 heat dash only would be possible?

signal aspen
#

yes

#

ive done 20 heat so 32 heat is possible

patent burrow
#

Would call only really work? I mean, you would have to get it in the first chamber of the game for that to work

signal aspen
#

yeah

#

and then you would have to get hit a bunch just to get the call

#

i think it can work

#

you just need really good rng

unborn remnant
#

Cant you build call over time?

#

passively?

signal aspen
#

no

patent burrow
#

Only per chamber

signal aspen
#

only with a hermes boon

unborn remnant
#

oh

#

early game would probably be rough then

#

unless you get early hermes

signal aspen
#

with the power of sd you can get some calls

unborn remnant
#

what would the best call even be?

#

ares?

signal aspen
#

zeus probably

unborn remnant
#

zeus is also good

patent burrow
#

What if you got a revenge boon and beat the game with that?

Will hades ever be a mobile app?

i feel like theres too many buttons to be ported to mobile

I am not saying it's practical, but I do wish this form of playing is done more often

but then again people would be like, just buy a switch

which is also valid.

half zephyr

my phone lives in a case where that would never fit onto it

I never remove it from the case because the last time I did that I dropped the phone & the screen broke

manic bobcat

just don't drop it

I didn't intend to do it

I was removing it from the case, and doing that made me drop the phone

has there ever been a game that required SOLE use of a controller, though?

no I meant on iOS

Technically yes, but very few

that's why I said it's not practical for players and especially for a dev to do that.

but a man can wish 😩

you as zagreus are powerless to stop it and flee to olympus

Also I can never find than (at the house of hades)

Cause after I give him his nectar then I'd complete everyone's nectar

Yeah he's not there too often

he likes to show up if you encounter him during your run

😩

dark root
#

Does giving the Olympian gods gives you any advantages or at least trigger something?

brisk trail
#

its necessary for a couple prophecies later on

dark root
#

Ok

high island
#

They didn't want gifting to be just to get some reward.

#

Rather, you gift them for the sake of it.

#

So you're not torn between gifting one character for a certain reward over another character you like more, things like that.

#

I think that kind of gift mechanic would be too cynical for the game. Zagreus often says he expects nothing in return, he's just doing it out of kindness and gratitude.

dark root
#

Yeah, I just wanted to know to not waste the nectar I have on the gods when I can give it to another characters that can continue the story

half zephyr

Demeter is great but not as a character only gameplay

She's fine as a character

Just nothing special

Character wise dionysus is easily the best

Also has one of the best performances in the game besides zag and hades

Gameplay wise zeus is pretty good on most weapons and ares is too

shadow solstice

I don't really care for Zeus all that much

Gameplay my favourite are ares demeter and dionysus

Mine is shield with Zeus's talent or whatever it's called that you unlock with titans blood

I can't unlock the last ones yet though

Does it mean that I use my aid against that Olympian when there's a choice to choose between to Olympians?

#

But it never maxes out when I do that tho

manic bobcat
#

Yeah. You need to use full Atemis Call against Artemis, for example.

#

As for not being able to fully charge, you can purposefully take damage to charge the call

#

That one Hermes boon that charge your call automatically also helps, can't recall its name right now though

Maybe it's a surprise release?

But idk it would be pretty fun to see some more née content added into the game

#

Like imagine if you could go to the Olympians

peak zealot
#

So, aspect of Hera + Aphro cast + Zeus dash + Zeus legendary + Arte legendary + Dio aid + Zeus/Aphro duo + Dio/Aphro duo + Quick Reload + 3dash + triple chaos cast boons..... is this the nuts or what?

#

Agreed that new content would be great. And maybe some small balance tweaks. Still have room in the cabinet for 6 more trinkets right? so could support 6 more characters?

#

just checked, its actually 5 remaining slots in the cabinet

is ruthless reflex with aspect of gilgamesh good

#

What's the best way (other than to use a keepsake the entire run) to roll a specific god's boons?

#

I'm trying to do as many as I can on Pos

modern garnet
#

Learn how God pool works

#

Or don't, and just follow the quick tip

opaque radish
#

I understand that you get 4 max

#

with daedalus and hermes being exceptions

modern garnet
#

And chaos

#

The reason God pool is relevant here is because it increases your chances of getting a god you want

#

Before pool full: chance of poseidon = 1/8
After pool full: chance of posiedon = 1/4

#

So fill your pool as fast as you can

#

The other trick is to run the room reroll dice, and save them all for styx

#

Usually it costs you more dice every time you reroll the same door, but in styx you have multiple doors so it only costs 1 dice per door

#

Using this trick i got Athena legendary

craggy barn
#

actually it only costs 1 dice each time you reroll doors

#

unlike boons/poms/wells/pools, which do have increase dice costs per use

modern garnet
#

? I've been mislead?

#

Someone said rerolling doors in styx is way better and I just believed them

opaque radish
#

well I mean you're dealing with like what 5 doors?

#

instead of one, so

I just fought the tiny vermin boss lol, made me laugh
