[half zephyr]

I've done that on my switch before & it does not save the run

[simple blaze]

quit usually saves what room you’re in

[signal aspen]

yeah

[simple blaze]

dunno why it’s not doing that for you

[half zephyr]

cuz it's a force quit

[signal aspen]

give up goes back to the last time you saved in the house of hades

[half zephyr]

as in I close down the game without saving mid-fight

[simple blaze]

ah

[signal aspen]

bruh

[half zephyr]

well, more like mid death

it's only happened twice cuz panic

[unborn pagoda]

Spoiler: Post-Game ||HADES REACTS TO HIS OWN KEEPSAKE IN HIS FIGHT THAT'S SO COOL||

[signal aspen]

yeah its cool

[unborn pagoda]

Like, he legit delays his own attacks to try and hit you

[lapis needle]

Hello, on the wiki it says it's possible to get persephone to return to tartarus by giving her nectar, but whenever I meet her it doesn't give me the option to do that?

[signal aspen]

after ten clears you can give her nectar

[lapis needle]

ah okay

thank you :)

And could you also explain to me how to get the hidden aspects?

The wiki wasn't being very clear on that part

[signal aspen]

read this

#h1-story-discussion message

[lapis needle]

Thank you again :)

[limber leaf]

the thing with hidden aspects is that you need to atleast reach hades first but its okay if you wont kill him

[lapis needle]

Does the aspect of zagerues count torwards unlocking 5 different aspects?

[limber leaf]

the first hidden aspect youll get is always guan yu and the rest will follow the more you progress with it

you need atleast 5 titan blood spent on the weapon

yeah maxing out zag aspects count too

[signal aspen]

idk, what i sent you says that it doesnt matter but when i learned how to unlock them the person telling me said that you need to put blood into non zag aspects

i would put them into non zag aspects anyway because non zag aspects are better than zag aspects

[limber leaf]

i think you just need 5 titan blood spent on the weapon. it doesnt matter what aspect it is

[lapis needle]

so i dont need to max out an aspect?

I can just spend 5 titan blood?

[limber leaf]

yeah

5 each weapon

and talk to the people that have the awakening phrase

[signal aspen]

that part takes a lot of rng

[limber leaf]

nah just secure guan yu first

[signal aspen]

yeah but getting guan yu also takes rng

[lapis needle]

Thank you for all the help :)

[signal aspen]

np

[limber leaf]

and you dont need to put blood guanyu to unlock the rest

no probs bro

[void vigil]

i am pretty sure zag aspects do not count towards "unlocking" aspects, but they do count towards "investing" in aspects. so to unlock guan yu dont put the blood in zag aspects, but to unlock the other ones its fine to put it in zag aspects

[warm charm]

zag's aspects do not count for unlocking aspects
thou shalt spend titan blood on non-zag aspects

[limber leaf]

oh ok. my bad my smooth brain dont work at midnight

[livid canyon]

uh can i ask does the 10k gold to get Charon final heart only count toward normal shop or,does the final shop at Ceberus chamber count

[signal aspen]

you just need to spend money so yeah

[livid canyon]

then that's

kinda weird since

im sure i did like

over 20 run

sometimes even purchase the last shop most expensive item

but i still dont get it yet

is this a glitch

[signal aspen]

might be bad rng

have you maxed him out on nectar yet?

[livid canyon]

wym

yes

[limber leaf]

ambrosia?

[livid canyon]

only locked heart

[signal aspen]

a lot of the dialogue in hades is rng

[livid canyon]

bru

so i have to

[limber leaf]

yeah

[livid canyon]

get the right dialog

with Charon ?

[signal aspen]

ye

[limber leaf]

keep on talking to charon

[livid canyon]

it did for like

thounsand of time

[limber leaf]

always take shops and kill him if possible

[signal aspen]

fighting him isnt that worth it

[limber leaf]

sometimes if youre short on the obols

[livid canyon]

wait u can dialog after fighting him ?

i always just take the card and leave

[signal aspen]

no

i dont think so

[limber leaf]

he just teleports you

zag has a convo with him in the next encounter tho

the first time you beat him

[glad leaf]

is there a way to tell if you are going to get ME/is there a way to get ME more of the time?

im basically just wondering about all the info on acquiring ME

[signal aspen]

no not really, you just need to put on god's legacy, and grab rarity boosters

[glad leaf]

are those mirror upgrades?

gods legacy i mean

[signal aspen]

gods legacy is a mirror upgrade

its second to last, and its yellow

[south comet]

Which aspect do yall use for the stygian blade mainly?

I personally use nemesis

[signal aspen]

i use nemesis for high heat

but most of the time i will use arthur

because its fun

[south comet]

Yeah nemesis is pretty damn strong

I don't have arthur unlocked yet

[signal aspen]

arthur slaps really hard

[south comet]

Ya think zagreus is good with sword?

[signal aspen]

zag aspect?

[south comet]

Yes

[signal aspen]

no not really

[south comet]

Is it good on any weapon?

[signal aspen]

yeah

shield, bow, fists, and rail

[south comet]

Shield? Didn't expect that

[signal aspen]

its great

[south comet]

But yeah on second thought it has to be good with rail and fists

[signal aspen]

yeah zag rail is really good

[south comet]

So many builds I wanna try with new aspects

But I gotta beat the game to get more blood

I have a pretty good run going rn, I'm at temple of styx with all 3 of my death defies

Imma try to beat the game on that run once I get back home today

[signal aspen]

nice

[south comet]

But somehow I feel like hades will kick my ass

I never got to him before

[signal aspen]

yeah hades is really strong

[south comet]

But guess we'll see

Maybe with 3 death defies I'll be able to beat him on my first try who knows

All I know about him is that ||iirc when you take him down his health goes back to full||

[signal aspen]

ye he has a second phase

[south comet]

Maybe my athena left clicks will cheese him like it did with the 3rd boss

Lmao

[signal aspen]

well you cant deflect everything

[south comet]

I know

Okay bot

When I attack at the same time as a non reflectable move it says defiance or something

Like if it parries the hit

[signal aspen]

defiance?

[south comet]

Idk what it says

[signal aspen]

if it says defiance that means you died

[south comet]

But it looked like I could parry some hits

[signal aspen]

but you had a death defiance

you cant parry things

but you can block with shield

[south comet]

Then I guess I'm dumb idk

[brisk trail]

Yo why is it so difficult to encounter thanatos? I just want to love him and give him love ಥ_ಥ

[signal aspen]

yeah im pretty sure you just died but you had a death defiance

[signal aspen]

its just rng

[south comet]

I still have all 3

So that's not it

[signal aspen]

did it say deflected?

wait you said non reflectable

what attack did you "parry"

[south comet]

I probably was confused idk

Because I probably deflected theseus's spear

Wait

Does it say something when you dodge a hit with the hermes boon?

[signal aspen]

yeah

[south comet]

That must be it

[signal aspen]

oh

[south comet]

Because the bull sometimes didn't do damage to me

[signal aspen]

yeah you dodged his hits then

[south comet]

Anyways

Hopefully I can beat the game later today

[signal aspen]

yeah

you can do it

[gleaming forge]

guys i why i didn't get any achievements for hades ?

[crude moon]

Being good enough to take on the Minotaur duo with relative ease is one hell of a skill boost for me ngl

Just 2 days ago I was struggling

[signal aspen]

what platform are you on?

[crude moon]

Isn't there only one platform?

[signal aspen]

well you can play hades on pc through steam and the epic games store, and you can play on switch

[crude moon]

Oh ok

[crude surge]

Switch doesn't have them if thats what your on

[gleaming forge]

pc

steam

[signal aspen]

What achievement are you trying to get

[gleaming forge]

Escaped Tartarus

i play the game for hours and cannot get this trophy

[signal aspen]

So you made it to the lava area?

[gleaming forge]

no 0_0

[signal aspen]

Yeah

You gotta do that

Kill the boss at the end to get the achievement

[mossy finch]

whenever grandma gives me winter harvest it makes my day instantly better

[signal aspen]

Winter harvest is awesome

But it is really hard to get

[mossy finch]

yeah, my run has been pretty lucky so far, ive gotten 2 legendaries both in elysium

[signal aspen]

Nice

[south comet]

Yall think the devs will eventually add new weapons or aspects?

[signal aspen]

Yeah

But don't get your hopes up

They are taking a break

[south comet]

Yeah I was just asking

[signal aspen]

Alright

[sick heron]

Hi everyone!

So, I was playing Hades on my switch and I noticed I was disconnected from the cross-save feature. So I went back to the menu to relink my Epic account but when it gave me the list of ways to log in to chose from it... didn't work. I use xbox live to log in to Epic and the Switch doesn't want to open the web page allowing me to do so... Does someone have a fix? I really don't recall having any problem loging in the first time!

Thanks, hope someone can help me x)

[signal aspen]

Unfortunately I can't help you but you should ask again in #h1-tech-support

[sick heron]

oops, my bad! Gonna try there! Thanks!

[unborn remnant]

Rare Crop goated

[mossy finch]

i just stole from charon and ... that was not what i was expecting haha

[crude surge]

fight is no joke

[opaque radish]

Yeah I rarely fight him

What's the diff between heroic and legendary? Is it just that heroic boons are higher than epic and must be traded to achieve, whereas legendary boons are much more excellent abilities?

[crude surge]

Heroic boons can only be offfered by exchanging an epic boon

[unborn remnant]

Heroic is the highest tier of a normal boon

Legendaries are entire unique abilities

[mossy finch]

you can get heroic from tree lady cant you?

[crude surge]

You can level up an epic boon to get a heroic one with some things like rare crop or Euridice

[unborn remnant]

Correct me if i'm wrong

[crude surge]

yes

Legendary boons are there own thing that have prerequisites like Duo Boons

[south comet]

goddamn it, I was so close to killing ||Hades|| on my first try

he had like a third of his hp left in his 2nd phase

[prime lantern]

if i start another save file would i get different dialogues?

[signal aspen]

No

But it kinda depends on what dialogue you are talking about

[prime lantern]

i mean the random dialogue you trigger by just playing and not some quest

[signal aspen]

Yeah you will get the same dialogue

[prime lantern]

that maybe gets cancelled if you didnt trigger before progressing the story

i mean there's 20000 lines of dialogue and i keep getting repetitive ones

i assume most of those get lost once you proggres or something

[brisk trail]

well some dialogue is related to your actions in a particular run

like hypnos

[prime lantern]

right maybe it's me the one being repetitive, not doing anything different

[patent burrow]

I GOT THE VACCINE

[south comet]

wouldn't it be cool if they added a 2 player coop mode

where you'd play zag and thanatos

[wintry lake]

the basic mechanics seem fit for a MOBA type thing lol

though that would probably be wildly unbalanced

[sturdy sphinx]

gg

[edgy jacinth]

Theseus and Minotaur are hard

What’s the strat?

[crude surge]

Kill Mino first

make use of the pillars

If you dont say hi to your supporter after than your 100% guaranteed to die in the next room

[wintry lake]

well, eventually you learn the timing for the way the Minotaur swings, at that point just dash away

also enable god mode lol, it makes the game more bearable

[sick mortar]

Just did the Bad Call achievement, now I'm really interested to know what the voicelines for the other gods are

Aphrodite says "Don't make me angrier than I already am"... anyone knows what the other gods says?

[misty harbor]

new update?

[patent burrow]

No its been a steam achivement for at least a month. It when you use someones call agenst them in a trial of the gods.

[narrow hemlock]

they may be referring to the fact an update was pushed out today, but its possibly just bug fixes/localization things due to the fact there was no announcement

[misty harbor]

Yeah I was referring to that

[hallow gate]

How many lines does the old man have for when you beat hades

[unborn remnant]

many

[surreal canopy]

Every time you beat him they add a new line

[chilly sonnet]

Patience, unless you're running Tight Deadline.
Learn Minotaur's attack patterns, they're pretty predictable once you learn them and they're not too hard to avoid if you play carefully.
Just focus Minotaur at first. Theseus doesn't really do anything besides throw a spear at you every like 10 seconds which you can dash from if you know the timing or just hide behind one of the many pillars.
Theseus has two attacks in his first phase, both are easy to avoid. Once you take out Minotaur just whittle him down, and once he enters his second phase he'll be vulnerable for a couple seconds so you can wail on him, while also avoiding the summons. Then just basically do the same thing you did before while also avoiding the summons.

I despised Theseus when I first started playing and part of me still does but it's not as unfair as it seems once you get used to it.

[edgy jacinth]

This makes sense

I actually did this strat just now

I died because I started the match with very low health

Like 40 HP, but I already took down Minotaur first then had Theseus about three quarters down

[modern garnet]

You'll get em next time

[south comet]

which god gives the boon that replenishes 1 death defy again?

is it athena

[glossy ivy]

Yes

[modern garnet]

Yep

She's got 2 boons like that!

[south comet]

hopefully I get one in temple of styx

I just used up one of my death defies at theseus and the bull

like a dumbass

2 now

this run is dead lol

[sick mortar]

I once had a dual boon room in the smallest possible map on elysium

I picked aphrodite first as usual, thinking demeter is easy to deal with

turns out when the room is that small demeter will give you an ass-whoopin'

[crude surge]

you could also buy a kiss of Styx

[modern garnet]

I never get a well in styx when I need one

[balmy delta]

Tips for the fist weapon?

[crude surge]

Use your dash strike to perma stagger enemies

Special builds arent greeat

[modern garnet]

With fist, you dash a lot

[simple blaze]

when i get them they almost never have death defiances

[chilly sonnet]

In case this helps anyone: To max your bonds with all the characters, you'll need a total of 160 nectar and 56 Ambrosia.

[edgy jacinth]

How much nectar per character

And what does a full bond do?

[modern garnet]

usually 5 or 6 nectar per character

full bond does nothing

[hollow hawk]

Use zeus attack on em

And try to get jolted and zeus legendary

[broken nest]

Howdy. Should I unlock the erebus gate from the house contractor? Costs 5 diamond. There are several other items that cost diamonds I could unlock instead.

[brisk trail]

Erebus Gates are high risk, high reward.

[broken nest]

Interesting.

[modern garnet]

erebus gates only work if you have enough heat for them

so don't get em unless you're ready for at least 5 heat

[broken nest]

Oh. Okay I am still at heat 1, so maybe I won't do this.

Thank you

[sharp oracle]

yeah if i remember 6 heat for tartarus 10 for asphodel and 16 for elysium

[modern garnet]

I think it's 5, 10, 15

[sharp oracle]

ah yeah it is

mb

[south comet]

lmao

the first bond I maxed was with charon

also I beat the game for the first time

[brisk trail]

Beat the final boss? Nice!

[cerulean ferry]

Congrats!!

[deep locust]

does anyone know if anything special happens if you bring the chaos egg to the hades fight

there was some dialogue from Chaos about it

was wondering if there was an achievement tied to it

[uncut dagger]

yeah there's a prophecy tied to it

if you beat Father with the Egg then you fulfill the prophecy and bing bang boom you get something for it

[deep locust]

is that a hidden prophecy i gotta unlock first or

can i just do it whenever/

?

[cerulean rover]

can just do it whenever, I think

[deep locust]

:0

[cerulean rover]

in fact I remember I had this absolutely amazing run, figured might as well try the egg thing

[uncut dagger]

when you have the prophecy unlocked that says "beat Father with the Cosmic Egg" then you can do it

[cerulean rover]

grabbed egg

went to hades

didn't want to fight T_T

[uncut dagger]

which I think is unlocked after that conversation

[opaque radish]

Best way to farm gemstones? I'm thinking a Pos/chaos build?

Like that's my most needed resource now cause I'm just unlocking visual stuff and companion upgrades

[uncut dagger]

well I think the first step would be to upgrade the Dark Thirst so that it gets +20% Gems as well

[opaque radish]

Oo yeah forgot about DT

But it's gotta be on a weapon I can use well. But I guess I don't need to use any heat

[uncut dagger]

yeah, in fact, using no heat would help
if you also have bought the thing that drops Gems after every boss fight

[opaque radish]

Hmm not familiar with that

Is that a WoC item?

Or a boon?

[uncut dagger]

oh it's an upgrade you get from teh Contractor

oh shoot how far are you into the game

[opaque radish]

I'm on multiple heat levels with all weapons

Highest is 17

[uncut dagger]

no I mean story-wise

[opaque radish]

Oh done with that too

[uncut dagger]

alright

[opaque radish]

Epilogue

[uncut dagger]

so the HC should be selling that

[modern garnet]

some fated quests give big gems

[uncut dagger]

oh yeah, I think those are the ones where you fill out all of the Olympian Boons

[opaque radish]

Done all the fated quests

[uncut dagger]

I'm still working on getting Poseidon's Legendary, he just absolutely refuses to give that to me

[modern garnet]

damn and thats one of the disappointing ones too

[uncut dagger]

yeah

[opaque radish]

All I have left to unlock is really just contractor stuff, heats, and companion upgrades

[uncut dagger]

😔 my life is so hard

[opaque radish]

So DT on a weapon, Pos build early, chaos build next

[uncut dagger]

yeah

DT is also a good way to experiment and practice with other weapons

I really like the inclusion of DT into this game, it's so subtle, yet so genius

[opaque radish]

Yeah nearly every aspect of the game has some replay value

[uncut dagger]

nearly?

[opaque radish]

And incentives to "do something else"

[uncut dagger]

which ones don't

[opaque radish]

Lol I suppose.... I guess that was just a safety statement lol

[uncut dagger]

ah

I've had those safety statements before

[opaque radish]

I can't think of one but there COULD be one

[uncut dagger]

I dunno, I think all of them are special and unique in their own ways

some offer good Cast Builds, some offer good Special Builds, some offer great Wide Putin builds, etc., etc.

[dusky wedge]

Imo, in my experience, DT doesn’t feel like it works, it only rewards you for trying something new but doesn’t really pulls you in to go and try new stuffs in the first place

It only works when you do want to try new stuffs, but if you aren’t interested in the first place, it does nothing

[sacred tendon]

lmao https://i.imgur.com/4rCrQ4W.jpg

(it's clearly because they just added the image of the claw marks on top, but it's still funny that they forgot to add a trigger to remove them if you open the passage)

[opaque radish]

Cerby dmg?

I didn't even know there was a passage to open lol

Yeesh this game

Still learning about it 260 hours in

[sacred tendon]

you need to ask for a number of contractor work orders before some new ones appear

[half zephyr]

as if cerbs marks would just be on the wall & not be tears in space itself

[toxic beacon]

Today Hades downloaded a small 13mb update. Now every time I start the game it says: "Steam was unable to sync your files for Hades witht he Steam Cloud." I tried searching for solutions online (like verifying integrity of local game files in steam) but it's not working. So I come here for help. Anyone else having this issue after the game updated?

[quaint wind]

@toxic beacon if you go to #h1-tech-support you can get some help there

[spiral moon]

how's everybody doing tonight

[half zephyr]

I don't know yet

will have to wait until tonight to answer that

[spiral moon]

i mean this morning, or whatever timezone😭

[half zephyr]

reading & looking forward to playing hades again next week

[spiral moon]

im about to hop on now, it has been such a long day

[half zephyr]

I haven't played in nearly 2 weeks

been babysitting

I look forward to making a new escape attempt - the question is, do I use my main file or my hell mode file

[uncut ore]

now that I got a good gun build I just need to grind, grind, grind until I win

still I think the fact that I can easily win with shield win no aspects with heat without any build makes it a superior weapon by a lot

[brisk trail]

you say this like every day

[uncut ore]

lmao yeah

sorry about that

[spiral moon]

i genuinely think charon is harder than hades

[uncut ore]

its just that I try grinding every single day

[uncut ore]

I only fought him once, he doesnt seem that hard even tho I lost

thing is you sometimes fight him with no boons

or like very little boons

[spiral moon]

idk once all the pillars are down it's kinda hard to dodge his swing and the ghost thingies

[uncut ore]

yeah I didnt get to that part of the battle

so theres a hard 2nd part?

[spiral moon]

yea

he drops 2 pillars at first, then the last 2 once you get him low enough

[half zephyr]

good to see you're still here to play

[spiral moon]

rn i'm using the fists with demeter aspect and i kept backstabbing whenever cutter was charged

[half zephyr]

you can do that w hades too tho

boonless runs

[uncut ore]

I dont think I ever played fists

[uncut ore]

I mean if you have to fight charon in like tartarus

then you have very little boons

[half zephyr]

yes, I'm saying that you can do that with Hades too

[uncut ore]

also btw I heard from someone that the 10% duo boon

[half zephyr]

and charon has.. 3 phases?

[uncut ore]

only works if you have a melee, dash, special, call and cast

already

is that true?

[uncut ore]

...

[half zephyr]

there's all pillars

he takes down some pillars

then he takes down all pillars

[uncut ore]

ooo theres a hades update

did they change anything?

or is it just bugfixes

[spiral moon]

if they added dlc

i would pull out my wallet so fast

[half zephyr]

I'm not so sure I would

it would depend on what the dlc was

[spiral moon]

battle out of olympus

[brisk trail]

same

ive owned this game for less than 3 weeks and i have 110 hours

[spiral moon]

ive been playing for about a month and have 87

i love bouldy

[dusky wedge]

At the fanboy level I am now, I’ll probably just buy anything they put out. The only game I haven’t played from SGG is Pyre and that’s only because I don’t own a PC

Of course, I will also openly critique their games and design choices like any other online fella out there though lmao

[half zephyr]

I’m just not interested in DLC for this game in general
That’s why it’d depend on what it’d be

[sinful reef]

Pyres really fun

Not much replay value in my opinion though

[quaint wind]

this is getting off topic so im gonna continue this conversation in #supergiant-games

[spiral moon]

i love bouldy so much i made him my profile picture

[signal aspen]

[grave kayak]

Question...with the last stand boon it replenishes one death defiance...what if u haven't used one does it give u a bonus one or no

[signal aspen]

no

it replenishes one so it only gives you a DD if you lost one

[grave kayak]

Gah

Ok

I was like hmm...10% more health upon using it too

When you come back sry

How do I change my name color

[signal aspen]

#bot-commands

[spiral moon]

i would like to sell my luck card of always finding the satyr sack on the 2nd attempt for 50k darkness

[signal aspen]

will you take 61 titan blood

[spiral moon]

yes

[signal aspen]

ok

[spiral moon]

thank

[signal aspen]

i would like to sell my luck card of always finding the satyr sack on the 2nd attempt for 50k darkness

[spiral moon]

wait

@signal aspen will you take 61 titan blood

[signal aspen]

yes

[spiral moon]

thank

[signal aspen]

ok

[spiral moon]

bouldy

[signal aspen]

[simple blaze]

“...”

[spiral moon]

bravo! 👏 👏 👏

[signal aspen]

indeed

[mossy finch]

do you need extreme measures 3 to get the champion of elysium achievement? I cleared elysium with extreme measures 1 but i didnt get the achievement

[signal aspen]

hold on lemme check

yeah you need em3 to get the achievement

[mossy finch]

ah rip

[signal aspen]

em1 and em2 dont affect the heroes fight

[mossy finch]

oh does em1 only affect maegera?

[signal aspen]

yeah

[mossy finch]

ah i see

[signal aspen]

em1 furies, em2 bone hydra, em3 heroes, em4 hades

[mossy finch]

i dont think u can get em4

well for me atleast, its locked

[signal aspen]

you have to buy a work order

[mossy finch]

oh okay

does charon get mad at you after you steal from him? ive noticed that he has worse items in his shop lately

[signal aspen]

no

well yes

but it doesnt effect the items in his shop

[mossy finch]

hmm okay, i guess im just unlucky then

[stone karma]

my interest in hades has dropped since i beat it

[brisk trail]

worse items is a matter of perspective

[stone karma]

kind of a bad ending though

even though its not the true ending but

[mossy finch]

neasy did you beat it 10 times?

[signal aspen]

bruh

[stone karma]

nope, i lost intrest

[mossy finch]

the story still hasnt finished

[signal aspen]

you cant say its a bad ending if you never even beat it

[stone karma]

i'll play it when im bored

[mossy finch]

even after you beat it though, theres still tonnes of "side-missions" you can complete, with their own story too

[signal aspen]

yeah there is a lot of stuff to do in hades

[brisk trail]

story isnt actualy over till you do some prophecies after the 10 wins too

[mossy finch]

lernie with extreme measures is cool

[red flax]

There's a lot more content after clearing it once

The whole point of rogue-likes/lites is to have different runs to clear the game

[livid canyon]

i still cant get Charon heart

been playing the entire day

[spiral moon]

https://gyazo.com/8348ce6fb126319bd6ce72b346135a59 @signal aspen i need my card back pls

[crude moon]

Forgetting I lost my revive and getting slapped around by REDACTED like an idiot

Very anti-pog

[mossy finch]

rip

[signal aspen]

lmao

[half zephyr]

There’s only 1 ending in Hades & you haven’t even reached it yet -_-

[glad leaf]

is the strat for very low heat runs (1-6) to get as many boons as possible and to play it safe?

[signal aspen]

no not really

[glad leaf]

whats the strategy

[signal aspen]

for low heat you play normally but if you are not that good you should play a little safer

[glad leaf]

what abt rewards

[dusky wedge]

Depending on what conditions you apply, most of the time you’d just play normally

[glad leaf]

what should i go for

[stone karma]

i know\

[glad leaf]

i like hades bc the more you play it the more fun it gets

[signal aspen]

rewards?

[dusky wedge]

Tight Deadline is always free heat

[glad leaf]

as in poms, boons, shops, coins, darkness

[simple blaze]

definitely, the more you unlock/progress the more satisfying it is

[mossy finch]

i always have damage control maxxed because it makes basically no difference

[glad leaf]

yeah

same

[simple blaze]

except for td3

[glad leaf]

the 2 heart dc can be a bit annoying

but overall its easier than all the other ones

[signal aspen]

you should go for poms, boons, and coins, and you should always take shops if you have enough money

[mossy finch]

the first time i used tight deadline i was just messing with it so i put it at max, accidently beat hades, i went from 2 heat to 8 haha

[dusky wedge]

Yeah, TD3 can be a bit challenging, but if you just have TD3 and nothing else, I think it should still be do-able for most people

[glad leaf]

if ive got an option between a shop or a boon, im guessing i go for the boon if im full hp

[mossy finch]

hermes really helps with td3

[dusky wedge]

Sometimes you’d be barely scraping but, still, very do-able to end

[signal aspen]

it depends on how much money do you have

[glad leaf]

lets say 150

[signal aspen]

then it depends on what your build is like and what the boon is in the other room

[glad leaf]

alr

thanks

hera, nemesis, or arthur

imo hera is good for safe builds

[dusky wedge]

That is up to you

[glad leaf]

and its less risky than nemesis

but nemesis is more powerful

arthur is eh for me bc i dont like heavy weapons too much

although 3k crits are fun

[mossy finch]

zagreus aspect ftw

[glad leaf]

lmao

zag sword aspect is not the best

[mossy finch]

oh thats my favourite aspect on sword lmao

[simple blaze]

arthur is fun, but there’s a clear reason you get more health using it

[mossy finch]

i maxxed it out and usually clear hades with zagreus sword

[signal aspen]

no

[glad leaf]

well its up to you

but overall nemesis can give a 100% dmg boost

[mossy finch]

the speed increase zag gives is nice imo

[signal aspen]

i got a 1910 damage swing that wasnt a crit on arthur

[glad leaf]

my best was like 1.2k

it was a backstab

[signal aspen]

speaking of backstabs

[chilly sonnet]

What are some good boons for Chaos aspect?

[mossy finch]

jesus

[dusky wedge]

Very ninja

[signal aspen]

#h1-victory-boasting message

[simple blaze]

that was a very epic run >:)

[mossy finch]

streak of 200?? dayum

[signal aspen]

yeah im crazy

[chilly sonnet]

Not really builds but like what are some good boons to start with

[mossy finch]

i like grandma's boons

[signal aspen]

ares special dio special

[chilly sonnet]

I get duo boons very rarely so a buijld like that wont really work

[signal aspen]

you dont really need duos for that build to work tho

[mossy finch]

with fists demeter is always my goto

[dusky wedge]

Athena, no questions asked

[spiral moon]

@signal aspen 300 clears? i thought my 35 was a lot 😭

[chilly sonnet]

I'll probably try Ares special

[signal aspen]

you just bad

[dusky wedge]

[chilly sonnet]

300 clears is not the impressive part

[spiral moon]

how many do you have total now?

[chilly sonnet]

Best streak of 200?

[signal aspen]

338

[spiral moon]

oh geez

ill get there eventually

[chilly sonnet]

My best streak is 10 and I thought that was decent lmao

[signal aspen]

lmao

im just too good

[mossy finch]

my best streak is 2 lmao

[chilly sonnet]

Also I'm trying to get 20 heat on every weapon but I always just choose the weapon that has dark thirst and shield has dark thirst like every other run

so i have like 4-5 heat with sword and 12 with shield

[signal aspen]

doesnt it change every run

[chilly sonnet]

Yeah but it always changes back to shield more than anything else

[spiral moon]

im experiencing that too lol

my highest heat on shield is like 10 now and everything else is 5

im trying to get darkness to max fated persuasion

[signal aspen]

what if you play something that doesnt have dark thirst?

[simple blaze]

20 on fists and 5 on sword and shield

[chilly sonnet]

Then I get less darkness, but I like getting more darkness

And gems

[signal aspen]

how much darkness do you get per run?

[chilly sonnet]

Well I don't get any from bosses so about 150 maybe

[signal aspen]

bruh

[dusky wedge]

Play on lower heat if you want more darkness

[signal aspen]

you can get 550 darkness from a run if you dont get bounties

[dusky wedge]

Playing for bounties will get you other resources instead

[chilly sonnet]

I'm prioritizing bounties right now

[glad leaf]

damn imagine losing a 200 streak

[signal aspen]

i lost my streak on purpose because i didnt want to lose it doing high heat

[glad leaf]

u serious?

i mean

that makes sense

[signal aspen]

yeah

[simple blaze]

smart

[glad leaf]

yeah

[chilly sonnet]

I dont get it

You lost your streak because you didnt want to lose your streak later?

[signal aspen]

yeah

[glad leaf]

yea

[signal aspen]

lmao

[simple blaze]

it was gonna happen either way so why not experience the pain sooner rather than later

[signal aspen]

after i got the 200 streak i stopped caring

[glad leaf]

he didn't want to feel bad losing it legit/having the pressure of maintaining the streak weighing him down

[dusky wedge]

Still though, trying to get as many darkness as you can on higher heat is risky I think, as you’d actually want boons and poms instead of gems and darkness

[glad leaf]

gems are eh

[signal aspen]

^^^^^^^

the streak was stopping me from doing 32 heat

[chilly sonnet]

That makes more sense

[mossy finch]

gems let you but cerberus comfier beds, so they are good in my book :)

[chilly sonnet]

I mean if you were going to intentionally lose it anyway you might as well just gamble on 32 heat

Idk what weapon I'm going to use for 32 heat

[signal aspen]

i may or may not have done 32 first try

[chilly sonnet]

Probably chaos or eris

I have officially entered Chaos 50 times and have gotten 0 fishing spots

Finishing the codex for this is gonna be a nightmare

[half zephyr]

Good luck

[signal aspen]

im not gonna finish the codex

[chilly sonnet]

It seems pretty easy tbh

Except the fish will be annoying

I still don't have the last category though so maybe that one's tough

[signal aspen]

im not gonna fill every page of this book that i rarely look at

[chilly sonnet]

Tbh if you've played the game that much you've probably done it by accident

[signal aspen]

nah i havent gotten every fish and i havent used any companions other than battie and shady

[chilly sonnet]

Ohhh companions is the last category

[signal aspen]

well ive used mort and fidi but thats it

[pulsar fable]

Where do all of the companions come from? I have Meg and Dusa.

[signal aspen]

meg, than, sisyphus, dusa, skelly, and pat and achilles

[mossy finch]

skelly gives you one for freeing him

[chilly sonnet]

I have the fish except for the legendary in elysium, sturgeon, and all the chaos fish lol

[brisk trail]

theres than, skelly, achilles and sysophus

[chilly sonnet]

What are the odds of a legendary fish if you get a perfect catch?

[signal aspen]

50%

i think

[chilly sonnet]

I've gotten a perfect catch in Greece a few times and have gotten bass each time

How do you complete the entries for the companions? just by using them?

[signal aspen]

yeah

[chilly sonnet]

That seems easy then

Use them 5 times in a row then die on purpose

[signal aspen]

the problem is that i will never use companion rib, fidi, or antos

[sturdy sphinx]

I did a hoarding slash run again with Sisyphus the whole way through and even beat charon during it

Still only got to 2700 obols

[chilly sonnet]

Which ones are those? I know Meg's is good, Bouldy is good, and Skelly seems pretty strong

[signal aspen]

skelly is not that strong

i was talking about skelly, dusa, and achilles

[chilly sonnet]

It seems like it would just be a sort of second acorn in boss fights

250 damage is a fair amount

[sturdy sphinx]

Achilles worked okay for Theseus and bull and some annoying duo mini bosses

But yeah

[brisk trail]

but you can also just aoe them with meg or than

[sturdy sphinx]

The fact that it's instant and guaranteed (mostly) to hit two targets is cool

[signal aspen]

meg can easily hit both heroes and both mini bosses

[sturdy sphinx]

I know that

But this one does it without having to be in a circle

[chilly sonnet]

The only mini boss that still gets on my nerves is middle management megagorgon

And maybe some in styx but i hardly ever go for the mini bosses in styx, which i should cause i need 5 more king vermin to complete the codex for enemies

[signal aspen]

those arent that bad for me anymore

but i still hate tiny vermin

[chilly sonnet]

I got tiny vermin for the first time the other day and it was so funny i love that they included that

[brisk trail]

tiny vermin will always such

suck*

[chilly sonnet]

it's hilarious tho

[sturdy sphinx]

Charon's discount card only works for that run right?

[chilly sonnet]

Yeah

[signal aspen]

yeah

[sturdy sphinx]

Figured

[chilly sonnet]

How hard is that boss fight? I haven't tried it yet

On a scale from Megaera to Dad

[signal aspen]

its hard in tartarus and asphodel

[mossy finch]

charon is hard early on

when ur in elysium hes pretty easy

[chilly sonnet]

Oh I didnt know it changes

[mossy finch]

nothing changes, its just the amount of boons u have

[signal aspen]

yeah

[chilly sonnet]

Oh that makes sense

[signal aspen]

its just that your build is bad

[mossy finch]

yeah

[sturdy sphinx]

The fight is cheese

[mossy finch]

make sure not to die to him though, dad will make fun of you if charon kills you

[sturdy sphinx]

So many orbs

His range is insane

I lost a DD to him and almost a second

[signal aspen]

and he does a bunch of damage

[mossy finch]

my DD didnt activate when i fought charon

[signal aspen]

it what

[mossy finch]

i must of lost it without knowing

[sturdy sphinx]

😔

[signal aspen]

oh

[mossy finch]

at first i thought it just doesnt activate because ur fighting charon

but i guess not

[chilly sonnet]

speaking of which i just got the obol bag

Time to see how hard it is

[sturdy sphinx]

Oh lol

Gl

[brisk trail]

gl

[chilly sonnet]

Well it took a dd but I did it

Not too bad

But I'm also using shield so half of his moves were useless by me holding y lol

[sturdy sphinx]

Oh damn. Shield OP.

[chilly sonnet]

That plus ferocious guard OP

[crude moon]

Charon?? The shopkeeper?

What??

[mossy finch]

:)

[chilly sonnet]

this is why i advocate for spoiler tags in this channel

[crude moon]

Wat

Charon?

Bro

[mossy finch]

yes

[sturdy sphinx]

As you play the game you will encounter things my friend

Such as big floating bags of moneys

[chilly sonnet]

You know that shopkeeper in Zelda Link's Awakening that kills you if you steal from him?

It's kinda like that

[crude moon]

I thought he has a shield

You can break the shield?

I guess he has an invisible health bar

[chilly sonnet]

||Sometimes Charon will have a bag of money behind him, if you take it you get 300 obols but you'll get teleported to an Erebus gate where you fight Charon. If you win you get a loyalty card that gives you 20% off all purchases for the rest of the run||

[glad leaf]

is the bag of money pure chance or are there triggers

[signal aspen]

you need to kill final boss to unlock that

[chilly sonnet]

I did extra tunnels in styx and forgot about tight deadline now i have to beat dad in two minutes wish me luck lol

[livid canyon]

i still cant get Charon heart
been playing the entire day

is my game bugged

[signal aspen]

just keep spending money

are you talking to him?

[livid canyon]

yes

[signal aspen]

ok maybe its bad rng

[livid canyon]

how tf is it bad,that was like 20+ runs

[brisk trail]

yeah i still dont have demeter unlocked and ive had her at max hearts for easily 50 runs

[livid canyon]

same with Demeter

[brisk trail]

granted, i dont take demeter super often, but still

[chilly sonnet]

yeah i have like 35 seconds for phase two

[signal aspen]

for demeter you need to complete the epilogue

[chilly sonnet]

:(

[livid canyon]

yes i did

[brisk trail]

same

[signal aspen]

well rip

[livid canyon]

sigh

[chilly sonnet]

I ran out of time and still won 👍

Went ham on the phase 2

[glad leaf]

@signal aspenwhat keepsakes do you use on a nemesis run

in general

[signal aspen]

artemis -> aphro if i dont have her yet -> acorn -> acorn or sigil if i want to

[glad leaf]

ah i guess tooth isn't useful if you can flawless stuff

lol

[signal aspen]

if i already have aphro i will take pom blossom

[glad leaf]

i use

[chilly sonnet]

Do you ever get to go to persephone's garden again after beating the game or do you always just have the mini cutscene thing

[glad leaf]

athena > collar > collar > tooth

[brisk trail]

pom in asphodel?

[signal aspen]

ye

[half zephyr]

Just death msgs

[brisk trail]

just the cutscene

[chilly sonnet]

Dang

[signal aspen]

wait i just realized that this is just my high heat setup

[brisk trail]

ME is nice on nemesis too

[signal aspen]

lemme change it

artemis -> aphro/pom -> pom -> acorn or sigil

[glad leaf]

whats the pom boon?

i might have forgotten

[signal aspen]

oh uh

[half zephyr]

Level up boons after x rooms

[signal aspen]

persephone keepsake

[half zephyr]

Well, random boon

[glad leaf]

best keepsake overall?

[signal aspen]

there isnt a best keepsake

[sturdy sphinx]

Acorn best for dad time probably. Other best for getting boons

Best keepsake feather duster

[signal aspen]

no

[sturdy sphinx]

It's indisputable

[signal aspen]

best keepsake is probably shackle when you filled all of your core boon slots

[brisk trail]

oh for sure

no doubt about it

[sturdy sphinx]

lol

[brisk trail]

im personally a big fan of switching to plume or butterfly in styx

[signal aspen]

nice

[chilly sonnet]

i used feather duster for my first clear because without fail i got one food every room so i thought you were guaranteed one food per room

[signal aspen]

thats why i play guan yu, for guaranteed healing

[chilly sonnet]

Guan yu

i cannot vibe with that weapon

[crude surge]

But why use anything but acorn in Styx

[signal aspen]

butterfly in styx is good because you can get a max of 8% extra damage from it

[crude surge]

But then you also have to not step in poison

[signal aspen]

yeah i know

it was a joke

[crude surge]

Ic

[chilly sonnet]

i mean

if youre good at styx you could probably get an extra 30% damage with butterfly

[sturdy sphinx]

I use the nyx shawl sometimes

[signal aspen]

how

[chilly sonnet]

its 3% per chamber right?

[signal aspen]

2% per encounter

[chilly sonnet]

oh

[signal aspen]

and it only works for the last room per tunnel

[chilly sonnet]

oh

[sturdy sphinx]

Booo

[chilly sonnet]

thats dumb

is that the same for plume too?

[signal aspen]

yeah

[chilly sonnet]

dumb

[sturdy sphinx]

Wait, so do charons well items follow the same rules?

[signal aspen]

no

[sturdy sphinx]

Lol

Nice.

[vapid narwhal]

styx mini chambers work for "lasts for x encounter" counting down, and pom blossom leveling up

but only the final room counts for plume and butterfly

[south comet]

why can I not give nectar to meg?

feels like even when I have nectar I can't give any to her

I don't have her keepsake

[void vigil]

if shes talking to another character, you wont be able to gift her

[modern garnet]

you might need to progress the story to unlock a locked heart, or you might need ambrosia instead

[stiff musk]

if he doesnt have the keepsake i would not imagine he would have locked hearts

[modern garnet]

oh yeah brain fart

[crude surge]

Do you have to beat her a few times first?

[signal aspen]

check your keybinds and make sure if the gift button is actually bound to a button

[signal aspen]

well they already beat hades

[crude surge]

ah

[uncut dagger]

I mean @cold iron Hades is on Switch

unless you mean Xbox/PS4

[signal aspen]

there are no plans for hades to come to console

[cold iron]

Yea i need it on ps4

But didnt they say that they are thinking about it?

[uncut dagger]

also #hades-faq message

they said they're considering opportunities

[signal aspen]

well they havent said anything about it but they are taking a break so not anytime soon

[uncut dagger]

maybe it'll come to Xbox later down the line, I dunno

[signal aspen]

it might happen in the future

[cold iron]

I hope so

[uncut dagger]

yeah that would be great

[cold iron]

Well thank you both 🙏

[uncut dagger]

more platforms means more people play the game which means I'm super happy

[signal aspen]

np

[uncut dagger]

no problem!

[pulsar fable]

Is Talos Aspect fun to play? I haven’t used it yet (Demeter since I had the blood to unlock it after unlocking fists) and the special change looks interesting.

[signal aspen]

its fine

[uncut dagger]

I mean fun to play is subjective, you might as well just get it and test it out

[pulsar fable]

True.

[unborn remnant]

I think talos is okay

[signal aspen]

talos is fun but its not as good as demeter

[unborn remnant]

C Tier

Gilgamesh is my favorite

demeter is kinda tame

[half zephyr]

gilga is meh for me

[crude surge]

I like talos

Also fun to yoink skelly onto the balcony

Gilg just feels awkward to use imo

[signal aspen]

gilg is slow

and the dash attacks deal no damage

the special is useless

the maim makes you take more damage for some reason

[crude surge]

Gilg is everything that makes me dislike the sword but you have weaker dash attacks for some reason even though you also get two more dashes which is nice except the dash attack is bad

[uncut dagger]

I don't really like the dash-upper tbh, without remapping the controls, it feels awkward to pull off and I wouldn't ever do it if I didn't have to

or felt obligated to

[crude surge]

same

[signal aspen]

dash upper on fists is really good

dash upper on gilg is really bad

[uncut dagger]

#buffGilgaspect

[crude surge]

I never remember to use my dash upper unless I have the hammer for it

[uncut dagger]

yeah

same

[crude surge]

which I dont even grab much

[signal aspen]

the dash upper damage is increased by hunters dash and chaos dash strike boons

[uncut dagger]

yeah but wouldn't the dash strike be increased as well?

[signal aspen]

yeah

[uncut dagger]

so then what's the point

[signal aspen]

the dash upper damage will be insane with those boons

[crude surge]

Has significant endlag though

[signal aspen]

thats not a problem if you kill everything

[crude surge]

But I can also just use dash strike to avoid getting hit in the first placce

and another enemy can just hit you

And like Go Kart said it kind of feels weird to use

[signal aspen]

well thats just you guys

i guess dash upper is bad

even though the damage is really high

[signal aspen]

also how does it feel weird

[uncut dagger]

well

for me

[hollow hawk]

Dash upper is faster than normal special

[uncut dagger]

unedited controls

[hollow hawk]

If that's what you mean

kbm dash uppers are super weird

And hard to aim

[uncut dagger]

press the South button, then move your finger fast to the North button

[hollow hawk]

So i dont blame you for that

[uncut dagger]

it's just kinda wakward

[hollow hawk]

Also, fist dash upper just straight up does more dmg on demeter charged special

Even without any boons or hammers

[crude surge]

On Switch at least you dash with the bottom button and use special with the top button

Awkward to press close together

[hollow hawk]

yeah it is weird to use

[crude surge]

With attack being on the right button you can easily do both at once

[hollow hawk]

But you cant deny the dmg

[signal aspen]

wait you cant change controls on switch

[crude surge]

you can

But then you have to relearn it and most of the time having it on X works well

[signal aspen]

so you dont like the controls that you have rn but you wont change them

[crude surge]

I dont like them for using dash upper

But like them for everything else

[uncut dagger]

muscle memory

[crude surge]

^

The only time I see myself actually changing controls is for hestia

[uncut dagger]

oh yeah

how would I change the controls of that to make it more effective

[sturdy sphinx]

Hyper Sprint is actually good thanks for coming to my Ted talk

[hollow hawk]

well yeah

[crude surge]

you could swap codex and reload maybe?

[hollow hawk]

Hyper sprint + rd is the best dmg modifier in the game

rd = rush delivery

[signal aspen]

hyper deliver is one of the best boon combos in the game

[hollow hawk]

pressure points + hunter's mark is probably the 2nd best

[sturdy sphinx]

Wait I had no idea that rush counted hyper as a move speed buff

[hollow hawk]

it does

[signal aspen]

you move faster, so its a move speed buff

[hollow hawk]

So if you have epic rush delivery (100% dmg from movement), you get literal double dmg

[sturdy sphinx]

But you don't always move faster

[signal aspen]

well yeah

[hollow hawk]

You will be dashing 90% of the time

[sturdy sphinx]

Wow I'm sure I've not picked that before because I didn't think it would work

[hollow hawk]

And will get the buff

[signal aspen]

so for the duration of your dash and the time after your dash you get extra damage

[sturdy sphinx]

Oh it actually only triggers during dash?

[hollow hawk]

During and after

[signal aspen]

during dash and the time after your dash

[hollow hawk]

For 0.5-0.7 seconds after your dash (depending on hyper sprint's rarity)

[sturdy sphinx]

Wow. I guess that makes sense

I guess this is why I joined the discord

[hollow hawk]

This is why hyper delivery is such a sought-after combo in speedruns of the game

If you get it, you can possibly double your damage, which is pretty insane

[sturdy sphinx]

I just meant hyper sprint was good because it let's you dodge bull and Hades super easily

Didn't even think about that damage stack

[signal aspen]

thats also why hyper sprint is good

[sturdy sphinx]

I'm finally breaking into the 10's on heat. I'm at 12 on blade and bow

[signal aspen]

nice

[sturdy sphinx]

Going to have to start putting on that time limit 😩

[crude surge]

sad

[tender kestrel]

[clear python]

Hmmm

What is the deal with the last bow aspect?

I mean im not sure to get what the technique does

[humble cloud]

So, I have a quick question, I got Meg's plushie but I cant summon it, do I need to use it along meg's regular keepsake for being able to ?

[half zephyr]

nope

[signal aspen]

you need to equip it in the keepsake box, and it can be used once per chamber, but you have to upgrade it to get more uses, also you cant use it against hades

[half zephyr]

until you get permission*

[signal aspen]

enemies hit by the special will take extra damage from your attack

[humble cloud]

Couldn't use it against skelly to test it either

[signal aspen]

yeah you cant use it there

[half zephyr]

ye, you're in the house

[humble cloud]

Didn't try in any other chambers tho

[half zephyr]

you can't do that there

[humble cloud]

That's probably it then lol

Thanks

[signal aspen]

when an enemy is hit by your special they get a debuff called shared suffering and when an enemy is hit by your attack, enemies with the shared suffering debuff will take extra damage

[clear python]

:ooo

Thank you for explaining!

[signal aspen]

np

[carmine ravine]

basically you mark enemies with your special. then yo nuke any single enmy and all the marked enemies will take the same damage. its basicaly a room nuker

[brisk trail]

Kinda.

It actually works identically to Mirage Shot.

[balmy delta]

How to remember all the boons man😭

[brisk trail]

Any enemy marked with Shared Suffering will take an additional hit every time you Attack something, to the tune of 60% of your final Attack damage.

[balmy delta]

I haven’t even heard of shared suffering hahaa

Sounds so good

[brisk trail]

Mark 5 enemies with Special, then Attack just one for 100 damage, then all marked enemies take a seperate hit for 60 damage, including enemies you Attack.

[half zephyr]

play enough times

[brisk trail]

So if you get 3 in a row then hit them with a 100 damage Attack, every time an enemy takes direct damage from your Attack, everything marked gets ticked.

Twin Shot effectively turns Shared Suffering into a 120% damage buff.

Is the way I'm explaining this making sense?

[balmy delta]

Oh so like that one dishonored ability
Think it was dominoe

[brisk trail]

Sorry, I haven't played Dishonored.

[balmy delta]

Nah you good it makes sense

Just gotta hope for the rng to come through

[simple blaze]

what characters should i prioritize nectar and ambrosia on?

[brisk trail]

probably meg is my best suggestion for that

||she can give you a companion, and hers is nice, plus she's not too hard to unlock ||

[simple blaze]

meg was actually the first one i maxed out the bond for

[brisk trail]

oh nice

[simple blaze]

pretty close to maxing out persephone, nyx, orpheus, sisyphus and skelly

[brisk trail]

if you havent already, max out 6 of the olympian gods

doesnt matter which 6

[simple blaze]

alright

[brisk trail]

Once you have everyone's Keepsakes and ||Companions||, whoever you like the most.

[crude moon]

is there a reason beyond worldbuilding when i picked up an artemis boon and she went "lol speak to zeus, he showed up too" and he went "damn bro artemis got some cool boons, take em"

i just think thats cool

i love how the dialogue changes based on how many hearts you have with gods ngl

[stiff musk]

i think thats the cue for duo boon

i wouldnt know

[crude moon]

yeah there was a duo boon, albeit useless

[crude surge]

Lightning rod is great

[compact badger]

It is! Helps a lot with boss fights

Also the conversational banter is so fun

[crude moon]

didnt have any good lightning boons, and it was already really late in the game

[compact badger]

The boon doesn't need other lightning boons to be good. It's all about dem bloodstones

[high island]

Whoever you like most, in my personal opinion.

You can max affinity for all the characters eventually.

So play in whichever way you like. You're not locking yourself out of any content.

actually, weirdly, I got a Bond with Charon really easily

I'd say go for that first since it's really easy (at least for me)

Hi guys!!!

[uncut dagger]

hey!

[brisk trail]

how are you?

Sorry if I misspell I'm learning English I'm from Argentina

[uncut dagger]

I'm doing good but I think this should go in #off-topic-discussion

[brisk trail]

oh! Okey sorry

❤️

Bond with charon is easy because you're (almost) guaranteed to see charon every run

Every other character you can gift doesn't always show up

I haven't played Hades since July of 2020, have they added much to the game since then?

[signal aspen]

Yeah

[wheat blaze]

any new levels, gods things like that? I know they were going to add the true final boss to the game

[signal aspen]

Well I didn't play in early access but I know that tons of things have changed

So if you still have it you should play

To complete the “Denizens of the Deep” prophecy, do I need to find Poseidon in the same run I caught the rare fish?
