half zephyr

i absolutely love serrated point

signal aspen
#

serrated point is good

uncut ore
#

hey mods

signal aspen
#

but the dash penalty is dumb

uncut ore
#

could you please censor the word bl*ckguard?

signal aspen
uncut ore
#

the same way you censor swear words?

#

I think that would be funny

#

<@&456908176877551658>

signal aspen
#

bruh why

uncut ore
#

is that better?

signal aspen
#

no

#

also why did you ping the mods

guan yu and chaos?

brisk trail
uncut ore
signal aspen
#

i took it during a speedrun

spiral moon
#

oh yikes

signal aspen
#

it removes the chance of getting cursed slash

#

because you need at least 10 max hp to get it or something

uncut ore
#

oh god theres muffled sounds of fireworks when you pause the game

#

I was afraid there were rockets

#

that was so scary

signal aspen
#

wait what

#

muffled sounds of fireworks?

uncut ore
#

idk

#

like crackles

#

pause the game and hear for yourself

signal aspen
#

that sounds like guan yu special

signal aspen
uncut ore
#

wait now I also only hear the music

#

idk

#

I guess when you pause it the moment something explodes

signal aspen
#

bruh

spiral moon
#

which would yall take here

#

i have doom on my primary attack

uncut ore
signal aspen

I have a question! I study game design i tried to see if Hades uses 3D or 2D character models? I couldn't quite see what it is?

craggy barn
#

the game uses 2d sprites

#

i personally don't know much about it other than that but i'm sure anyone else in this server could go into more depth on it

#

from what i understand, the game itself uses 3d visuals rendered into 2d sprites but as i said, i know next to nothing about it so i could be way off in my explanation

sorry for the late reply, yeah that's what I meant, much appreciated—I was actually just looking for the "You" cutscene but I managed to get it and screencap in a new run since 🙂

sturdy sphinx
#

I actually tried a hoarding slash run with arthur aspect but I don't think it's really worth it

#

I managed to get 1405 obols by Hades fight and I had a +47% attack chaos boon and epic Artemis attack + 30% crit damage

#

It worked but it didn't feel that crazy. I think I should have just focused on a pure attack boon like aphro on attack instead

#

The 15% crit chance is just kinda meh

signal aspen
#

i only do hoarding slash runs when you do boonless runs

sturdy sphinx
#

Oh that's a great idea actually

signal aspen
#

since you are going to be purging boons

sturdy sphinx
#

Big $$$

signal aspen
#

not exactly a boonless run but i got a bunch of money in this run

sturdy sphinx
#

Holy

#

Yeah wow that's a lot of money

#

So that adds like 253 damage to your base attack huh

#

Pretty cute

clear python
#

DAMN SO MUCH MONEYY

stiff musk
#

what does holy excalibur do

signal aspen
#

that aura reduces the amount of damage you take

stiff musk
#

sounds like guan yu but bad

signal aspen
#

and you also start with +50 health

signal aspen
clear python
#

Whoooo just reunited the familyyy

signal aspen
#

nice

quartz garden
signal aspen
#

im pretty sure crit damage only applies to base damage or something

sturdy sphinx
#

I'm going to puke

#

Does dash strike count as 'Attack'

signal aspen
#

yes

sturdy sphinx
#

Whew

#

I really don't like Arthur aspect dash strike

signal aspen
#

arthur dash strike is really good

sturdy sphinx
#

I feel like I can't even tell if I'm doing it half the time

#

I guess I assumed crit damage would amplify whatever base damage you had so I guess that's right

quartz garden
#

that‘s still true. If you get exploding launcher on spear for example, that base damage is multiplied by crit. If hoarding slash would be like „your base damage equals 5% of your current obols“ then crit damage would apply to it. But the bonus damage only gets added as a flat amount like zeus‘ thouder flourish

#

wait, bad example since thunder flourish can crit shadeembarassed

signal aspen
#

yeah

#

lightning can crit

#

doom can crit

#

hangover can crit

quartz garden
#

attack and special percent buffs from chaos do not apply to those right?

signal aspen
#

yeah

sturdy sphinx
#

I also just realized that giving bouldy nectar gives you a little bouldy boon

#

I was just giving him nectar

#

Like hey friend

signal aspen
#

yeah

sturdy sphinx

They say you learn something new every day

half zephyr
signal aspen
#

oh yeah

sturdy sphinx
#

Wait what

#

🥲

half zephyr
#

Ye, Arthur is like easy fun

#

More health, enemies slow down, disabling most traps & magma hehe

brisk trail
#

it also slows projectiles and enemies

half zephyr
#

Sure, you slow down too, but you get high base atk

clear python
#

Damn Theseus's laughter in em4 is PETRIFYING

craggy vapor
#

You become very tank like and carry a rather large stick to beat the baddies with lol

crude surge
#

Disabling magma shadeohboy

#

I take way too much damage from magma

signal aspen
#

ye it turns all lava in asphodel into water

clear python
#

Lol forgot i put em4 for Hades

crude moon
#

Thinking of trying out Malphon or the gun but they ask for way more effort imo

signal aspen
#

they both have builds that dont require much effort

crude moon
#

Builds lol

You telling me you don't just run into the game and picking up what looks cool

signal aspen
#

...yeah

#

thats how everybody plays

modern garnet
#

you're surrounded by nerds im sorry

half zephyr
#

I usually have a duo or legendary in mind & aim for that ia_think_thonk

crude moon
half zephyr
#

But other then that it’s just picking up fun boons

modern garnet
#

i picked up zag malphon with the knowledge that i would get divine protection

crude moon
#

I never got a legendary

#

Only heroics or duos

half zephyr
#

How

signal aspen
#

bruh

crude moon
#

I'm kinda new still

#

Only had the game like 3 days

#

4

half zephyr
#

Hmm

modern garnet
#

you get legendaries more often once you get the mirror thing that gives you more legendaries

half zephyr
#

Well, you just need prerequisites

crude moon
#

Oh ok, mirror stuff

#

Need keys

half zephyr
#

You can get without mirror

#

It’s all about picking the right boons

modern garnet
#

yeah but mirror is the fastest way to get more powerful in earlygame

signal aspen
modern garnet
#

ok nerd

half zephyr
#

I got aphro legend in room 8 on my hell mode save where I haven’t even unlocked all the mirror >.>

#

I didn’t even have the boon list, I just remembered which boons I’d need

signal aspen

half zephyr
clear python
#

I FORGOT THERE WAS A 3RD PHASZ

#

Or i never survived

modern garnet
#

telling someone that fresh file runs are possible isn't useful if they don't even have the level 2 codex yet

half zephyr
#

After you play enough you start to memorize which boons you need for what

modern garnet
#

eventually you can buy a codex upgrade that lets you see every boon and its requirements at any time

half zephyr
#

Aka the boon list

signal aspen
#

the codex is very useful

half zephyr
#

Indeed

crude surge
#

I just use the wiki

half zephyr
#

It takes too much time for me to use the wiki

signal aspen
signal aspen
modern garnet
#

omg... the codex index only costs 50 gems.... remember when that was a high price

crude surge
#

didn't know the codex was a thing

signal aspen
half zephyr
#

Achilles

crude surge
#

even though I bought the upgrade ;-;

half zephyr
#

Sad

crude surge
#

I think I did

#

Bc the only things left in that tab are the victory screens

half zephyr
#

It’s great since you access it while looking at offered boons

modern garnet
#

yeah im so glad you can open it when you have boon selection open

crude surge
#

But

#

You can always have the wiki open

half zephyr
#

Takes too long

#

I’d have to have another screen open

modern garnet
#

also the wiki kinda stinky

half zephyr
#

On either my phone or mac

#

I play on switch so that means 2 screens

crude surge
#

Just grab your phone

#

Doesn't take too long

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

modern garnet
#

or i could just press c on my keyboard

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

its a lot faster to press the codex button and then press the boon information button

Just watched a 40 heat run from before The Queen was in the game and oh boy was that intense. Using Guan Yu too. man

#

im gonna do 40 heat guan yu

#

i just dont want to

craggy vapor
#

Everything was just so freaking FAST

pulsar fable
#

Demeter Malphon with Double Dash mirror is very fun. I just run in circles punching things. Then I get 3 Athena boons and am never damaged. Heat 12 with DM and fastest clear time.

what

sturdy sphinx
#

I'll be here, living rent free in this server, all week

crude surge
#

I dont understand why people use Guan Yu

signal aspen
#

because of the lower health

charged skewer makes brain go oo oo aa aa

signal aspen

charged skewer guan yu is really good

sturdy sphinx
#

I try too hard to make spin attack a thing

#

Gain +2 hp and lose 20

craggy barn
#

spin is far from reliable

#

special > dash-strike x2 is reliable though

craggy vapor
#

The video I watched the guy literally only spams spin attacks the entire run and uses his dash to avoid attacks and dash strikes to clean people up

sturdy sphinx
#

Saw video of seagull eating whole hot dog

signal aspen
modern garnet
#

If you can survive tartarus and asphodel and build something nice, gy becomes better than other spears

sturdy sphinx
#

Ban me. I'm bet there is a reference to seagulls and hot dogs somewhere in game

#

I like Achilles because it feels like I am teleporting

craggy vapor
sturdy sphinx
#

Worst thing that could happen is I am banned

#

Anyways

#

I think I am still Chiron bow main

#

I like seeing all the arrows go whoosh

craggy vapor
#

Run that with aphro attack and you can shoot lil hearts

sturdy sphinx
signal aspen
#

my favorite bow is probably rama now

craggy vapor
#

I have it available but havn't unlocked it yet. I have like 6 or 8 bloods currently

sturdy sphinx
#

What does rama do

signal aspen
#

your attack becomes a big wave and when you hit an enemy with your special they take extra damage from your attack

sturdy sphinx
#

Oh cool

signal aspen
#

you should post that in #fan-works

stoic geyser
#

thought that was reserved for our own works?

craggy vapor
#

Rama takes forever to charge or lawd

signal aspen
#

its just reserved for fan works from everybody, it doesnt need to be yours, if you post somebody elses' work you should give them credit

quaint wind
#

right it can be any sgg-related fanwork

stoic geyser
#

ok, was cool the director of bob's burgers made that

sturdy sphinx
#

@signal aspen what does your name translate to? I don't know how to reference you other than crying cat pic

signal aspen
#

yuan zhi hong

#

its my chinese name

#

since its a name it technically doesnt translate to anything

sturdy sphinx
#

Oh I just meant like, yeah. I can just ask how you'd like to be referred to would be a better thing to ask

signal aspen
#

idk call me whatever you want

sturdy sphinx
#

Cool. What aspect should I unlock next. Is the aspect of Hestia any good

signal aspen
#

yeah its good

sturdy sphinx
#

I never really manual reload so I was hesitant

charred hemlock
#

question aspect of nemesis is hangover better on special or on attack for this weapon for the splitting headache combo

signal aspen
#

probably special

#

idk i have never made that build

true minnow
#

when am I able to give nectar for Persephone? I want her keepsake and I beaten Hades like 3 times and I wasn’t able to give nectar to her, only talk

Ah okay, thank you!

#

Bouldy is a good character

signal aspen
simple blaze
#

he is truly the most developed of every character

#

nobody else could ever dream of having better character development

#

the way he just says “...” and smiles...
its... it’s beautiful

spring tapir
#

when bouldy said for the first time i almost cried

crude surge
#

same tbh

spiral moon
#

was using hidden aspect of the fists on hades, highest heat run yet, 49 health with no death defy left, and winter harvest took him out shadefear

simple blaze
#

gilgamesh is indeed awesome, it makes bosses so much easier

#

even hades stops being a threat (without em anyway)

crude surge
#

Gilgamesh feels weird to me

#

idk why I just like the way the other fists work

simple blaze
#

that’s understandable, the slow speed can be off putting at first, and i’d say the same about arthur

craggy vapor
#

I feel the same about Rama and Guan Yu

brisk trail
#

yeah actually now that i think about it, all the hidden aspects are slower than usual

#

even lucifer feels sluggish in comparison to regular gun

#

the general gimmick is supposed to be slower but stronger I think except gilga is weaker

crude surge
#

I also just think the regular attacks of fists flow together better

#

than gilg

brisk trail
#

but i think non-gilga has more potential with the attack speed, paired with like dio or zeus

#

gilga seems a little gimmicky

#

is it? I thought it was actually less dps by a lot

#

without you know

#

boons

#

it only does dmg with maim

#

i just tested, gilga does 60 per attack and regular fists do 15

#

but gilga is slower swings

#

special is the same damage, not counting the maim damage

brisk trail
#

ok

#

its past midnight for me im just gonna leave

#

bye

#

fair enough

#

#

do you eventually get enough titan blood for you to max all aspects? i’m being kinda conservative with my titan blood atm

What are all of your fave boons?mine are strong drink, any artemis one with critical chance, and any doom one from ares.

patent burrow
#

Thats from hermes, right?

#

athena

patent burrow
#

Oh

The shield thing

brisk trail
#

heart rend is great, divine strike is great, sweet surrender is great, hyper sprint is fantastic

edgy jacinth
#

Honestly those deflect buffs from Athena are great

dusky wedge
#

Merciful End is the best change my mind

crude surge
#

merciful end is amazing

modern garnet
#

merciful end is... too good

crude surge
#

and then you add on impending doom

modern garnet
#

they should delete divine dash from the game to balance it

manic bobcat
#

ME used to be satisfied with Divine Dash

crude surge
#

did they get rid of that to nerf it?

gaunt geyser
#

I actually reaally dislike divine dash caue athena in general kinda ruins the boon pool

#

but thats just me

#

i have less fun when I see athena basically.

gaunt geyser
#

nothing looks cooler than a mass lightning + poididons waves run

crude surge
#

Side hustle is also nice

simple blaze
#

sea storm, flurry cast, scintillating feast, and curse of nausea are some of my favorites

brisk trail
modern garnet
#

Lightning rod is cool if you dont wanna play the game

edgy jacinth
#

What if Zagreus joined ||smash|| trollsmile

modern garnet
#

I was doing em3 with fists and I had scintillating feast lightning rod and the best thing I could do was to keep dodging every attack

#

I'm not good enough with fists to punch a golden bull but I can just keep throwing fog at it and running away

#

The risk with passive dmg on champions is that you get theseus to stage 2 too early but it's mostly fine

brisk trail
#

the first like 10 times i fought theseus it was just me using trippy shot on cooldown

#

op strat honestly bouldy

modern garnet
#

Well ideally you'd have a call by then

#

But trippy shot real nice

#

Demeter WISHES she could deal that much damage AND slow enemies

brisk trail
#

truuuue

crude surge
#

Running away is even better when you have stubborn roots

brisk trail
#

man demeter just sucks so much

#

easily worst god in terms of boons for me

#

stubborn roots is pog

crude surge
#

When I unked Demeter I thought she was going to be really good and thats why you had to get to Hades first

#

and man

brisk trail
#

its such a let down

modern garnet
#

Demeter has some good boons, but...

crude surge
#

Was I disapionted

brisk trail
#

every god has some good boons...

modern garnet
#

Ares has only 1

brisk trail
#

ares has 1

#

but its one of the best

crude surge
#

I like Ares

brisk trail
#

demeter has like 2, but theyre still not great

modern garnet
#

Demeter cast with the supporting boons and the good duo gets strong

#

And stubborn defiance can save runs

crude surge
#

Urge to kill, Blood Frenzy, Curse of Nausea, and blade rifts can be good if you get the upgrades

modern garnet
#

And the demeter poseidon duo is a sleeper hit

brisk trail
#

as fun as the blender run is, the damage just isnt better than a fully built phalanx shot build

crude surge
#

Blizzard shot is really nice

modern garnet
#

You can build up phalanx shot?

crude surge
#

blender has great damage

brisk trail
#

yeah, a lot of high heat runs make use of phalanx shot

#

cause it has range and damage, and can have aoe with the right boons

modern garnet
#

What boons improve phalanx shot?

#

Brilliant repost I guess

crude surge
#

ig exposed could be good

brisk trail
#

namely lightning phalanx, combined with good rarity, a couple poms and maybe mirage shot and itll clear a room in seconds

brisk trail
modern garnet
#

Exposed feels to me like the worst effect

brisk trail
#

whereas blenders are slow and take a little while to do their full damage, leaves more time for you to take damage

crude surge
#

yeah

#

I just assumed thats what it was used for

brisk trail
#

exposed is nice on some weapons, not great on others

modern garnet
#

Ooh, mirage shot.... niice

brisk trail
#

it works quite nice on sword cause with all the dash attacks you usually do, you get a lot of backstab damage

brisk trail
#

one time i got the hermes legendary, mirage shot and seeking blade on an ares cast-based build

crude surge
#

I got mirage shot, hunting blades, and a bunch of other blade rift buffs and it was ridiculous

brisk trail
#

it was fun

modern garnet
#

I usually end up with mirage shot on casts that don't visually show it, as much... like trippy

brisk trail
#

yeah blender is very very fun, albeit not super viable in challenge or high heat runs

crude surge
#

why is it not viable though

modern garnet
#

One day I'll run blender....

brisk trail
#

theres 2 problems mainly

#

it doesnt stun lock and its slow

crude surge
#

blender chooses you

modern garnet
#

Woah if blender stun locked it'd be better than trippy shot

crude surge
#

I dont use trippy shot

uncut dagger
#

same

brisk trail
#

yeah, if it stunned it would be so much better but as it is now it just isnt really better at anything than phalanx or crush

crude surge
#

The lobing is what turns me away from it

brisk trail
#

i guess it has some range on crush

modern garnet
#

I love to lob

crude surge
#

I dont like crush either

uncut dagger
crude surge
#

bc it takes away my only ranged attack

brisk trail
uncut dagger
#

I like to run Aegis, so it doesn't bother me that much

brisk trail
#

it has its place, i think its well balanced

modern garnet
#

Yall ever get trippy shot with the hermes fast cast boon? It makes the aiming reticle disappear

crude surge
#

weird

brisk trail
#

i mean it makes sense why

brisk trail
#

normally you would hold cast to see the reticle

modern garnet
#

You just hold down the button and purple spheres destroy your enemies

brisk trail
#

but it makes it so that holding down multicasts

crude surge
#

I see

#

never thought about that

uncut dagger
crude surge
#

I used trippy once when I was using the rail

#

bc your lobbing anyway with that

brisk trail
#

that seems redundant

modern garnet
#

Double lob

#

That can be cool if you have the hammer that slows targeted enemies

crude surge
#

It was lucifer though

brisk trail
#

now im imagining: cluster bomb, mirage cast, hermes legendary, trippy shot

#

15 lobbed projectiles rain from above

#

i call it: the pharah build

#

im open to constructive criticism

modern garnet
#

Who needs gun when you have mortar

crude surge
#

I wish there was a way to grab hammers and boons in the courtyard

#

just to see the havoc of that

brisk trail
#

i kinda wanna try

#

i gotta theory craft the build order though

#

might do that later today

uncut dagger
brisk trail
#

oh that wouldve been nice

#

SGG 👀

uncut dagger
#

yeha it would've been

one of my main complaints with Roguelites is that I never get to experiment a lot, I have to get a seed and try that out and then wash rinse repeat
it's magnified if the game has like 12 billion things

quick question, do I need to play with the fists to unlock the hidden aspect of the fists?

#

or just any weapon and find.. u know

#

did like 6 runs and he never spawned

modern garnet
#

You gotta play with a weapon until a specific person says a line about how you're using that weapon

#

And then later the same person will give you the hidden aspect phrase

#

The person for fists is ||asterius in miniboss room||

ancient flint
#

ye I know how he is

#

the thing is I can't seem to run into him

modern garnet
#

Keep doing fist runs i guess

Hi all, I have a question. I live in the USA and I received a physical copy of Hades for the Switch as a gift. It was delivered from the UK I believe, and has a pegi label on it instead of an ESRB rating. Will there be any issues if I open it and play it on my US switch? I understand that the cards themselves aren

#

't region locked, but was wondering if there was anything else I was missing?*

uncut dagger
#

have you tried playing the game?

#

just try launching it

gusty jolt
#

No I havent opened it yet because I was trying to figure out if I should return it and get one from north america

uncut dagger
#

oh, right

#

Unlike previous Nintendo home consoles, the Switch is region-free. This allows players to use cartridges or downloaded content from any part of the world, with the exception of Chinese game content which can only be played on Switch units manufactured for that country.

#

yeah I think you're golden

#

Out of the box, physical Nintendo Switch game cards are not region locked and can be played across multiple regions across the world.

gusty jolt
#

Cool. I think on the Switch FAQs it talks about DLC might not work in different regions, but no DLC as of yet and likely no DLC(?)

uncut dagger
#

likely no DLC

gusty jolt
#

Thanks

uncut dagger
#

no problem, happy to help!

#

enjoy the game, it's a good one!

does anyone know if theres a formula for how wall slam dmg is calculated

or what the formula is actually if its been shared/discovered

#

@half zephyr got the aspect like 20 mins ago

#

seems pretty interesting

half zephyr
#

Neat

#

I’m not a big fan of it myself - it’s pretty meh

#

But you try it out & see if you like it bunnygirlroll

ancient flint
#

ye me neither, I just like to play with new stuff

#

plus make random builds with it

#

this one really could be great with arte and aphro

#

Whoo! I finally did it! I beat Hades using twin fists for the first time! Another weapon that isn’t the shields that I used to beat Hades

south comet
#

For some reason

#

I love using the gun but it also kinda feel like I'm cheating my way through the game

#

because the game feels so much easier with that gun than with any other weapon

#

and my favorite weapon is the stygian blade but I don't have nearly as much success with it lmao

#

and I've never beaten the game yet but the only times I've reached the temple of styx has been with the adamant rail

high island
hearty whale
#

yeah im wondering what the actual values are

#

cause theres breaking waves that has a flat number but typhoon fury is a % increase

#

was trying to math which was more dmg on just a single target

south comet
#

woah this run is going incredibly well, I just got to temple of styx and cleared 1 tunnel and I still have all of my death defies

#

I might be able to actually beat the game

#

ok i have a question to pose to the group

#

is it possible to get all 6 duo boons from a group of 4olympians in a single run

if so, what would be the easiest combo to go for

#

oh my

signal aspen
#

#

whats the best way to get merciful end?

use keepsakes to get boons easier

ares attack and flourish

Is amazing

#

whats divine flourish

#

athena's special

signal aspen
#

flourish means special and divine means its one of athenas' boons

somber spoke
#

I don't know if this is the right place to ask but does anyone have any tips for Theseus and Asterius my runs get destroyed by them I lose all of my death defiance's to them and when I beat them I have barely any health so the fountain is my last hope before getting destroyed by snakestones and poisonous rats or I make it outside on 1 hp and die to Hades

#

and yes I just had this happen to me

half zephyr
#

hide behind pillars to avoid the spear too

signal aspen
#

when asterius is dead you can go up close to theseus, he will do a spin attack that you can easily dodge

somber spoke
#

yeah I think my main issue is I just try and like kill them as fast as possible but that may be the wrong move also I have always tried to take out asterius first because he is the one who just destroys me so thanks

signal aspen
#

when he does the spin attack you should dodge behind him and hit him

#

for asterius you just need to wait for him to attack you

half zephyr
#

try to not get them both at 2nd phase at the same time
and I think someone said something about how it's not the best to get theseus at 2nd phase while asterius is alive

#

which I get

signal aspen
#

yeah

#

that was me

half zephyr
#

sorry

signal aspen
#

lmao

somber spoke
#

thanks I'll try out those tips in my next run

signal aspen
#

good luck

somber spoke
#

yeah rougelike games are my favorite genre but besides hades no rouglike have I ever made it past the first level

true bridge
#

I just had an idea.
a fishing based boss fight
||Like, a fish on Erebus (hellgates) that you can fish with onions for a special fight, like terraria's duke fishron, and a collosal fish to give the chef. And have uncle Posseidon give hints to some lost pet||

signal aspen
#

duke fishron but instead of worms he eats onions

dusky wedge
true bridge
#

yes.

signal aspen
#

sounds great

somber spoke
#

that is a great idea for a boss

brisk trail
#

i wouldnt mind another optional boss like charon

signal aspen
#

what does it drop

true bridge
#

itself

#

you just give it to the chef

cerulean rover
#

nice, recursive

brisk trail
#

a fish to give like titans blood or smth

signal aspen
#

it just dies and you grab it?

true bridge
signal aspen
#

awesome

half zephyr
cerulean rover
#

you know what the game actually needs? if you deflect dad's spear on EM4 into the lake, he just stares at it sadly for a while then switches to fists

true bridge
#

and there you can dump all the titan blood on the endgame

signal aspen
true bridge
#

for some buff idk

half zephyr
#

ah, you mean feed titan blood

sturdy sphinx
#

Legendary fish time

signal aspen
#

where are you gonna put it

half zephyr
#

not that the fish would give you titan blood

sturdy sphinx
#

What if you have the fish titan blood and as a reward it gave you a titan blood

signal aspen
#

are you gonna put it in the styx

true bridge
signal aspen
#

and make than look at it

true bridge
#

he could give you darkness for it

#

so the badges aren't so impossible

half zephyr
#

they aren't impossible

signal aspen
#

the badges are possible

#

it takes like 10 years

half zephyr
#

just requires time

sturdy sphinx
#

What if instead of fish you threw a little bird seed down on that Elysium overlook and maybe some birds came and ate the bird seed

half zephyr
#

no

#

there's no birds

true bridge
#

only fish

half zephyr
#

zag doesn't know what a bird is

sturdy sphinx
#

Okay 😔

ever heard of the channel "femboy fishing"?

no

actually maybe

#

in a kpop server I'm in it might've been mentioned by a member

sturdy sphinx
#

Sounds about right

signal aspen
#

nice

half zephyr
#

still no clue what it is

true bridge
#

well, back to the big fish

sturdy sphinx
#

I thought I would get to fish more outside of the Hades fight zone

#

Sad you can't go there anymore

true bridge
#

but you can fish ON the dad zone

half zephyr
#

you wouldn't survive the journey alas

sturdy sphinx
#

Yeah yeah

half zephyr

you get fun death msgs instead

signal aspen
sturdy sphinx
#

I died by pollen in my last run

i slipped on a banana peel

I love when you beat Hades & then die to a beetle

sturdy sphinx

that's no fun

but maybe some sea monster that's more greek than that

half zephyr

she's got ideas

Like a whale being called a goldfish?

this is my pet whale - goldfish

lil' bubbles

half zephyr
#

he likes big hugs

true bridge
#

and having posseidon talking about bubbles

half zephyr
#

ye

you have to go find bubbles

he's prolly scared being alone out there in the big world

true bridge

*underworld

half zephyr
#

poseidon is the one that lost them

#

so

#

big world & underworld hehe

true bridge

fair enough

after you turn in bubbles to the chef, he just quits and a few runs later a new dude shows up

uncut ore
#

gun is so weak

signal aspen
#

gun is very strong

uncut ore
#

I tried it for 50 hours now

#

and didnt kill hades once

signal aspen
#

you just need a good build for it

#

what do you usually go for when you play with gun

uncut ore
#

I go for athena, zeus, ares

signal aspen
#

what aspect are you using

uncut ore
#

eris

#

but its very weak

#

lvl 2 I think

signal aspen
#

level it up

uncut ore
#

yeah

signal aspen
#

you should go for zeus attack, artemis special, poseidon dash

uncut ore
#

do you remember when I spent all my blood on zag aspects?

uncut ore
signal aspen
#

oh

#

then just go for zeus attack and artemis special

uncut ore
#

ok

#

ill try that

#

I got a lot of free time rn cus theres a war

#

so I wanna finish hades

#

I played it for like a month when I got it but then I kinda ragequitted

crude moon

Having an absolute god build on Aegis and having to stop playing as soon as I reach Elysium

#

Pain

north lava
#

suffering, even

crude moon
#

Lol have to look, but it was hangover on attack, doom on special
40% extra movement speed
Do damage on movement speed bonus
Hangover and doom stack bonuses

#

That's just a bit of it

#

Faster bullrush charge

uncut ore
#

I killed hades with only 1dd

#

and I played horribly

#

so either shield is OP

or gun is insanely weak

Shield is crazy good

I'm just saying

ye shield is really good

its not weak

It's kinda weak ngl

signal aspen

its not weak lmao

crude moon
#

How do you get titans blood if you already killed all the bosses with all the weapons

#

Do you buy it from the trader

signal aspen
#

once you kill final boss you get more blood

crude moon
#

Per kill or

#

One each

signal aspen
#

well its a spoiler

@crude moon if you didnt kill the final boss then dont be here

#

did you reach him atleast?

crude moon
uncut ore
crude moon
#

I've reached Hades yes
I've been on his second phase

uncut ore
#

ok, but in this channel theres like spoilers and stuff

#

if you dont mind that then its fine but like

signal aspen
#

@crude moon do you want me to tell you about it but also sorta spoil part of the game?

crude moon
#

What spoilers come after beating Hades? That's he's right and that nobody can actually escape from Hell

#

I got that dialogue on my last run

cerulean rover
#

except Heracles

#

who cheated, basically

uncut ore
#

achilles just explained to be how patrocles died and about the horrors of war

#

and then some shade just walked over him and smiled

#

damn disrespectful

I strongly recommend The Song of Achilles book

I've heard about that, I imagine it's the borderlands version of ramping up difficulty for better loot or something

on each weapon

I'm gonna hate beating Hades with the bow and gun
I hate them

#

nah, all weapons are really good

crude moon
signal aspen
#

yeah

sturdy sphinx
#

I like bow 🏹

crude moon
#

I can see myself liking the bow except failing at bosses with it

#

Spamming on bosses are the only way I kill em

#

Stack up Doom/Hangover and let the carnage ensue

signal aspen
#

with a certain bow aspect you dont need to spam

sturdy sphinx
#

I just did a run with a weird hangover dash doom special and aphro attack Achilles spear build

signal aspen
#

you can just shoot once and destroy their phases

sturdy sphinx
#

Oh wait are we being no spoiler rn

i dont really want to spoil things for grimbloop

so im not gonna say the names of spoilers

#

Well I said one

uncut ore
#

wait

sturdy sphinx
#

Maybe

uncut ore
#

so the gun build I need:

#

artemis special
zeus melee
athena dash
and ares?

signal aspen
#

artemis special, zeus attack, athena dash

uncut ore
#

no ares?

#

ok

signal aspen
#

those are the main parts of the build

#

ares isnt that good on gun

uncut ore
#

ill start with an artemis keepsake

signal aspen
#

nah start with zeus keepsake

sturdy sphinx
#

Crazy how quickly Zeus stuff becomes effective

signal aspen
#

zeus on eris is insane

sturdy sphinx
#

It always seemed kinda weak on paper

#

O rly

signal aspen
#

yeah

#

the buff from eris is global so the lightning damage is buffed

sturdy sphinx
#

Eris is the after hit by special attack does more?

#

Oh nice

signal aspen
#

attack damage, special damage, dash damage, lightning damage, hangover damage

#

call damage

#

cast damage

uncut ore
#

brain damage

sturdy sphinx
#

Hangover is also surprisingly effective

signal aspen
sturdy sphinx
#

Yes

#

I got both duo boons that make it hit faster and stack higher last playthrough

signal aspen
#

nice

uncut ore
#

do I take artemis or aphro?

#

or do I roll it?

signal aspen
#

artemis is better

uncut ore
#

I already got artemis special

#

for special

uncut ore
#

do I roll it?

signal aspen
#

artemis is better

uncut ore
#

got poseidon

#

idk what you are talking about

do I roll the door

#

to get a different boon

signal aspen
#

ye take poseidon

uncut ore
#

oh god this is hard

I guess attack?

just take ocean's bounty for stonks

just make sure your dash slot is open for splash dash

accept the nature of backseat gaming

can you somehow continue it if I already exited?

it it's a save & exit, yes

if it's a quit, then no

quit allows you to continue

give up loses the run

I never even mentioned give up - I forgot about that option NeekoEhehe

I was thinking quit as in force quit the game hehe
