lava is the bane to my existence
I prefer Hunting Blades over Crystal Clarity
IDK I thought I could handle EM4 because I have beaten him before
im not good with the names
i have the x3 dash strike with sea storm and epic rupture
oo yeah
no doubt
making a crazy rift blade build is fun esp with double casts
the lasers are fun tho
I had such a good build my last run
The most fun I'd have is with HUnting Blades
Lucifer with pos attack and zeus special with the zeus pos duo
best stuff
insane damage
But that's so reliant on having a lot of duos and legendaries
it's not that hard to get
use that one mirror upgrade
which increases the chance for duos and leggies
I know that
my attack is wild
I just kinda get really greedy
So here's what I want
Hunting Blades of course
Hunting Blades, Mirage Shot, Vicious Cycle, Fully Loaded, Bad News
Basically all these would make my run so easy and I really want that
blake metal is key too
makes em bigger i think and faster
also if you have the dash rift to
you really just destroy everything with your dash and cast
pom em all up
Well I do need tidal dash for mirage sho
you can use pos aid
I think you can just win with hunting blades on their own
but its gonna be less dmg ofc
the wierd object to interact with?
its the game table you can buy
they all dont rly do anything
thats in his bedroom
except harp and well
basicially you can just cast hunting blades and focus on dodging until you cast them again
no need to rush
i think the magnet gloves are my fav
when can u buy those vanity frames and stuff
I think they are max bond rewards
yes but to unlock them in shop you need max bonds
You need to buy all work orders from the house contractor and then get bonds with certain characters
time to farm gems 
Nice
is there a prophecy which gives hella gems or sumn
farming gems is way easier now as long as youve got vanquishers keep
DUSA'S BACK
L
Oh my bad I forgot
its a work order that gives you gems for beating bosses
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
oh lol
🥴
then you just have to complete prophecies, turn up the heat or convert nectar to diamonds
i have about 50 extra diamonds from clearing bounties, and i bought every single thing from the contractor
I only have 2 diamonds or something
I spent all of them on music that I'm not gonna listen to
lol, this is after spending them on music
Yeah I did the same thing
i avoided trading for as long as i could but in the end i got impatient and traded a bunch of ambrosia into titan blood, i think about 45, in order to max all of my aspects at once
Bouldy is love
now im doing the last of my bounties to try to restore my collection back to what it was lol. i have about 5 rail runs left and a bunch of spear and bow runs, which i dont look forward to because im not very good with them at 20 heat
after that i guess i will grind for darkness for the badges, but that will take forever 
ive started to spend my darkness on badges but im not planning on getting the last one

Yikes
A small price to pay for little thing in the bottom right of the screen that does absolutely nothing
I should start buying the music
for completionist sake
I still have so much to do
I hope I have enough Diamonds bounties left lol
you can always buy them with nectar, it will just take time
I haven’t maxed out the aspects companion’s or keepsakes
I wish you could spend titans blood to get necter or smthn
because thats what I'm going to have an excess of
I low key regret putting so much ambrosia into titans blood
this is true
would you rather give your random aquaintances orange soda, or would you rather feed your beloved god-slaying weapons more delicious blood
i think the answer is obvious
i would give a rock some orange soda
its a lot better than feeding some pointy objects
Rocks are round, very nice
imagine having diamonds :)
i just tried hades yesterday, pretty fun.
yeah its a great game
god i love this game
i already have like, 13 hours in this and i only got it last week
props to the devs for making such an addictive gam
It would be nice if they added something for fathers day. You know for daddy Hades
Can we talk for a second about how we've successfully convinced orpheus Zagreus and Dyonisus are the same person like lmao
Just finished a run and heard him singing an oddly banger hymn about it
yeah and you try to convince him you were joking
Another reason I relate to Zag too much: I make decisions for the memes that I immediately regret later
I love how they incorporated the original myth like that. Super creative <3
I went straight back the house and bought the garden music, and Hades is never happy about it but it's all I ever have Orpheus to play 😂
Same lol
What’s there monthly challenge?
they're community run challenges, details are pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat
Aw sweet
aaa
have anyone experience with hades on the nintendo pro controler for steam?
hades (and a few other games) stoped working with it
except for 50 nectar, i have everything else i need for all the badges, but thats gonna be the one to get me lmao
the optimistic side of me thinks that if i use oceans bounty and try to get the chaos boon for extra darkness it won't take that long
the badges are all i have left to do for 100% besides the themes for the ui that need darkness and gems
you might try asking in #h1-tech-support
Hello
Hello!

yo I'm here now
For the better or the worse
I've recently returned to hades but on hell mode
and that's been a time
What’s the best way to stock up on nectar? I realize I never maxed friendship with some gods and I’m running low. Any ways to force more nectar rooms in games
yes
Yall, does anyone know where I could get all the Boon symbols?
the wiki has all of them
There is a bug where when you first talk to Cerberus at the gates, Zag can mention that he needs to go to ||see his mother Persephone|| before he even ||finds out about her||
I'm playing on the switch
Wait, no, it's not a bug
I thought Cerberus was a dog?

Yeah it's not a bug
||Zag finds out about persephone in a flashback scene, so Zag would know just not the player in this instance||
Say, how do you spoil something?
Put || on both ends of the text you want to spoiler
Thank you
Hi everyone. I just played Hades for the first time in a few months and I can believe I forgot how absolutely amazing this game is
it is :)
dumb brain totally forgot about red health slowdown -.-
"I got DD left I'm nice." oh how wrong i was
I beat Hades for the first time yesterday, and I just beat it again today.
if anyone can help I still don't understand the importance of heat
heat = mutators
make your life more difficult in exchange for more rewards
you need to use heat to get more bounties
its like customizable difficulty
so the minimum is one right? but when i added more the only thing that changed was the difficulty, I didn't see any increase in rewards.
I beat Hades today at 3 heat, bu the run seemed only slightly more profitable than the original completion.
Heat represents the level of self-imposed difficulty of Zagreus' escape attempts. The Heat level can be raised or lowered by using the Pact of Punishment before starting a run. Having a certain amount of Heat active allows Infernal Gates containing greater rewards to be unlocked. Escaping the Underworld on certain heat levels also allows statues...
when you beat the bosses at 1 heat you will get the bounties (titan blood, diamonds, ambrosia) and to get the rewards from 2 heat you need to beat hades at 1 heat
oh okay i get it now, its levels that go one by one, rather than 0-5
thanks for the help 🙂
so if you do 5 heat you will get the bounties for 1 heat
You get more of titan blood, diamonds, and ambrosia fkr upgrades.
If you want to farm darkness specifically it's better to go lower than your highest cleared heat.
also one question about cosmetics. I love the Hades soundtrack, and i saw that "god of the dead" is available but costs four diamonds. i havent unlocked all the other diamond based upgrades from the contractor, so is getting "god of the dead" worth it?
no imo
I think you'll get more out of other upgrades, since getting the songs don't add a whole lot to the actual game (I think?)
yeah they dont do much
okay, so I should wait to unlock it.
Listen on SGG YouTube channel to scratch that itch.
I use spotify already, but it would also be cool to have it in game, you know
sorry I'm asking a lot. but I'm new to the discord, so I was going through the pages and saw that there is a boon called "aspect of Beowulf". I was wondering how I could get that?
there's a pinned post in story discussion about it
thanks
I've checked out the comment and the sim, and to unlock |the aspect of Guan Yu I need the fated list, do you know how to get that?|
for spoilers you need 2 of the | but it's not mandated here
the list is a buyable at the house contractor iirc
oh got it, but just for reference, did i do it right?
no, if you do it right the text in the spoilers will be hidden
It should look like this ||stuff||
<test>
2 of the | on each side
whoo
thanks
why hasnt than showed up in like 10 runs 
Chance.
is than really that important, besides the cool visuals
Yesnt
no
he's good because he can give an extra buff, but that's never been game changing, its usually just like "oh, okay cool"
but thats mostly it. or am i missing something
y'all i only have hypnos left to get max bond with
are there any tips other than die a lot and get lucky
you have to encounter thanatos in a run, they have a long back and forth convo that progresses the quest needed to unlock hypnos
thanks tatz
Yeah he does that
you can talk to him and give him nectar in the house of hades
im stuck at 6 hearts with him its locked
you just need to beat him in a competition
if you dont get the dialogue then you have to do it again
and again
and again
until you get the dialogue
yeah its pretty good
because i mostly get a call boon in elysium
how do you play the hades keepsake
u equip it 🗿
:O mind blown
Its the go to speedrun keepsake
do you charge it fully and go ham on things
you should charge it half way and then use it
Don't you only get 1 boosted hit that way
time to play it
does than appear on heatless runs?
yes
than has a chance of appearing once per run in a normal encounter
so he wont appear in erebus, miniboss rooms, and in styx
okok thanks :0
While Invisible, Zagreus cannot be targeted, moves faster, and deals bonus damage for 2 seconds (or until he strikes).
that's the minor call effect
how the heck do u even get that blazing wheel thing from the well of charon
its impossible
you buy it
but but
luck
it never appears
buy it
okay
I got it like twice across 2 saves
bruh
you can only get flame wheels release in elysium
what does it do
removes the tiny flame wheels
it makes every flame wheel turn into a banana
oh
if you want to get it, save all rerolls for elysium wells
and even then it seems to have a very small chance to appear
im only missing that for the prophecy
yes, its kind of stubborn
that was my last one for the prophecy too
ive seen it a couple times and only bought it like once
when did they add flame wheel release anyway
was it a community feedback thing
i want a flame wheels release release
to make it so flame wheel release doesn't appear
in blood price update
and yes, it was a community feedback thing 
people hate those little chariots
mmm
sometimes im worried that my build is bad against flamewheels but... it always ends up working out
worst case scenario you just gradually lure them into walls
turns out they're a really good activator for deadly reversal
Bonus damage duration and invisibility are independent of each other. Only the invisibility wears off when you attack.
ah thanks
They corrected the description in-game. Wiki has a description that's outdated and actually wrong.
i thought that tending the garden thing is gonna be something liek stardew valley
what a shame
I hope the signed posters are still in stock!
who would you ever want a flame wheel relese relese
because then i wouldn't get any flame wheel release, and I would have better odds of getting something good in ely
it doesnt even exist
now... if there was a butterfly ball release.... i would buy it every time
Of course NOW they put out the 18x24 hades poster so I can finally have all 4 games in the same size after I've already framed the 24x36.
Sometimes you get the 30 flame wheel room and you just know you will take zero damage
or all the damage
the only time I like the flame wheels is with the sheild
because its fun to watch them run into you and go kaboom
but I still buy the release to spite them
yo someone suggest a aspect/keepsake for a run
And you slide backwards hehe
flamewheels sounds like tiny cats and I feel bad when they explode they're kinda cut3
Go for zag fist plume
Why not 🙂
Have fun not getting hit ever
If I have exclusive access (min boon rarity epic) will yarn of Ariadne from Charon shop have any effect?
What pact settings should i put 🙂
correct me if im wrong, but i think the yarn gives higher chance for legendaries and duos if you are eligible to get them. it wont give you heroic rarity boons though
Fair enough. I'll try it. Thanks
it will also piss off theseus if you bring it to his fight
totally worth it
Approval Process L2, optional underworld customs :3
i was gonna do EM4 and process 2 lol
Chaos can get trippy in AP2 lol
That was a QUICK EM4 last boss with beowolf, dio cast with scintillating feast, ice wine, mirage shot, AND gma legendary
Dio Beo go brrrrrrr
Dio Beo is goated
gg i guess 🙂
That's correct. +10%.
question, do you always have to fill the gauge when starting a run?
The call gauge?
the heat gauge
It saves per weapon
ahh okay
If you dont fill the heat gauge then you can't get boss rewards
yeah. I'm trying to keep up with more of the story so I wanted to ask
what is the actual max for bloodstones that you can get
without the charon items
Artemis grands u 3 more through her legendary and with the help of chaos the range of bloodstones is pretty high even if u use soul
Probably you can get 9 max
Not sure how many exactly tho. sorry
Or 10?
Not sure
You get the artemis legendary and then as many chaos stones as you can
It gives you 2 casts
It's possible to get 4 chaos gates in 1 run so you can probably get 9 casts without well of charon items
i guess u have to pretty luck getting chaos gates and the item that spawns chaos gates
Oh, i thought it was 3. Sry
My dad was watching me play Hades on the TV one day and he just goes "you look like a pinball machine," and honestly, yeah, he's right
But it was 3 casts during early access
Is there a way to get back to Persephones garden (not in the underworld) after the credits?
nope
😦
starting to cope with coming back to the house after a run and no one having anything new to say 
well
now to finish the epilogue
but wow eurydice and orpheus have got such lovely voices
ah yes
ignore the husband, go for the dog
that was such a cathartic moment
I think they're at least aware
They didn't even bother to change the shades or anything
they're aware
yeah it's the unfortunate side effect of a game being popular
Same 
wait thor? I'm assuming it's a rip off from the comments but I havent heard of it
Thor gods of Asgard or smthn like that
i'm pretty sure they blatantly used the artwork of nyx as one of the gods in that game
oof
you would be correct, my thread about this was making rounds on ye olde twitter dot com https://twitter.com/aphneiios/status/1406351468613996554
the aspect of rama with raymond boons build is my favorite 
I was going "omg did they seriously rip off Elysium that much in the right panel" and realized it was an old build
"king kong"
King Kong reboot looking sick
Since that’s the case, if supergiant doesn’t know/didn’t give them the legal rights to use that artwork, they can be sued for copyright (I think).
Myth: God of asgard
Voice Acting in Hades is very good
That 5 cycle temple of styx did me good
But i kinda wish Hades was less angry and more chill
ohhh im guessing you're still early in the narrative?
Yeah betwn him once with spear only hahaha
Yeah hes the big bad 👺
Nah i mean in like in mtg and like irl myth, wasnt he like, chill
Or maybe he only like that with Zagreus hahaha
probably just like that with zag, in myth he's pretty relazed
definitely keep playing! you'll see a bit more to his character as you get closer to the credits
Hey so pasting this from another channel but!
“Hey everyone, so I just lost the data an almost 100% completed file and was hoping someone had a cloud save they could share with me? I’ll be happy with anything I can get but for reference, I was about 450 hours in and the only remaining unlockable/purchasable thing was the resource director where I was a gamma cleaner. I have pictures of most of the progress if anyone is able to help. Thank you !”
Hope to keep grinding this great game ❤️
@wispy helm https://www.speedrun.com/hades/resources
Scroll down to saves
Thank you! I didn’t see the saves spot at first somehow. Do you know if there’s any way to mod specific progress as well? I was about to 100% the file so it would be cool if I could still complete that without just downloading a completed file
Quick question that I didn't see answered elsewhere: Does Stubborn Roots work with Lasting Consequences?
I ask because it doesn't mention it in the tooltip when presented as an option.
this got me looking at the leaderboard for Hades and I saw this
what is the OwO run
somebody needs to explain themselves
@wispy helm steps to recover a lost save are in #h1-tech-fixes. If you need help with that, ask in #h1-tech-support. SGG support also have prepared save files with different progress that they can send you if you're unable to recover your safe. If you've filed any bug reports in-game, they might be able to send you the save file attached to that bug report.
OwO = one weapon only
All aspects.
Yes.
Stubborn Roots can heal through LC4.
Hey, cool! Thanks.
Guys is it okay to just not attempt to defeat Hades, if I get like a bad combination of Deadaluses and Boons.
Then just sell the things to buy that Titan Blood/Diamond from Charon?
I need like 15 more diamonds for the power ups
i suppose its fine
i used to do runs where I would not buy anything throughout the run and just hoard obol and then buy the TB/diamond at styx and selling boons at the end is a viable strategy to get more obol if you don’t intend to win
with low heat u should be able to beat hades regardless though
also take deep pockets its really good for money
you should get enough obol to buy it regardless of selling boons if you don’t buy anything with deep pockets and maxed coin purse in my experience, so that way you can still win
yea
also 5 sacking in styx gets u a lot of money
so u can consider that if u still dont have enough
5 sacking?
getting the satyr sack in the last tunnel
Or just doing the other tunnels after getting the sack.
The term refers to simply doing both, right?
yea kinda
it would depend on context, when i said that i was referring to this ^
How do you know where the Satyr Sack appears?
its random, but it will never be in the first tunnel
There's a 53%ish chance it'll be in the 2nd tunnel
And then lower and lower for every other tunnel after it
hey guys I tried googling it but how do we unlock victory screen themes in the house contractor? what are the prerequisites
you need to buy all other work orders excluding themes from the house contractor, and to have 3000 unspent darkness as well for the woodland theme.
the prerequisites are on the house contractor page on the wiki
its fine, i just told you the prerequisites written there :]
its in the "work orders" section right under eldest sigil restoration, and the prerequisites are all the way to the right
When a weapon you hated became your favorite weapon
which weapon is it
Oh, I must've misunderstood you
Got it now
So, anyways, I've started a second file
It feels so weird
is that like triple jab and extended jab or something
oo
yeah that extended jab
lol thats what i said
yes
i keep choosing bad boons because it has the prophecy icon on it XD
nice
good thing you only need to do it once
just need one more diamond to unlock erebus
whatever it is
i suck with every weapon other than the bow
They're rooms that pop up in maps, that give better rewards provided you clear them without taking damage, but they're only accessible if you've beat the last boss at least once
You can only enter them with certain amounts of heat as well 5, 10 and 15
Bow
Sorry for the late reply lol
Btw steam sale in 30mins so I wonder how much hades will be
it's 30% off isnt it
Last time it was 30% off so who knows
I got it for 9$, I would say that's way too cheap for the game
That's a steal
I think the cheapest you can get is that yeah.
Go on Epic for 30% off and then use their $10 coupon.
Too late now I think.
For me, the weapon i hated was spear
I knew about how powerful achilles was but i just despised it
But then i saw the light
I hate sword and I still hate sword
I don't think I hate anything. Just some are alor more fun than others.
Zag shield and sword is
to me
nice
Rail
man I can't handle rail
just keeping track of the call gauge is nearly too much for my small brain
All brain cells firing off on all cylinders.
Still hit Artemis call not fully charged.
I hate when it looks fully charged
and it isn't
and then you feel like you might as well just use all the lesser calls
and then question your life choices
i hate when i have a call that's worse at greater level, and i forget to use it until it's fully charged
thats bad too
they should just... turn off the greater call for dio call
dio call is just dio dash but multiple times
and the hangover is better
yeah but I'd rather have a better dash tbh
It is I, back again with more confusion :/
I bought both services, all the rugs, and probably at least 12 other attachments for the lounge, when does the Place of Revelry prophecy get fulfilled?
when you buy more stuff
classic
i dont like dio and ares dash
Don't you also have to clean up after cerb too?
yeah
I did
buy more stuff
Hold on one sec
ares dash is okay
I don’t like the Ares dash
apparently you gotta talk to dusa about it after you buy the stuff
yeah
Well she already flew away so I’ll try again later lol
if you dont get the dialogue then you need to buy more stuff
sshhh, dont say that so loud
its good on fast attacking weapons
it's a lot worse on stuff like bow
chiron and rama deal with dc well
So hard to survive with
bow just takes a bit to learn
much easier to survive when you're standing very far away from the things trying to kill u
Is there anyone here who uses Cast on a regular basis?
yeah
yeah ofc
Like I use it every now and then for Boons and to weaken a boss but other than that, untouched
sometimes cast is the best part of my kit
ill use it on weapons that have a high base damage
casts really help out weapons like arthur and rama
a good trick for casts is to have it fill in your weapon's weakness
if you're on bow and you're surrounded, throw out a tidal cast to give yourself some breathing room
bow and spear are my worst weapons
tbh spear might be my worst weapon
i dont really know how to play it without flurry jab or charged skewer on guan yu
i dont like the spear main attack
its a bit too linear
unless ur doing dash strikes
gy is so thrilling to play with
if i wanted to play achilles aspect I'd just play shield
whats boring about it
you should use the bullrush more
yeah the rush is the strength of shield
thats all i do
zoom across the battolfield
the massive damage makes up for it
this is true
the special is kinda mid tho
its the same thing but feels worse somehow
dont use the special on beowulf
the gun?
exagryph is really good
it's about the most versatile weapon in the game
(aspect wise)
and yeah certain aspects are regarded as best in game
what is the latest Switch patch? the 1.0.38131?
Yeah I like it
I think prob my 2nd fav weapon
But some people say "oh its such a crappy weapon you run out of ammo dash strike is bad" and all that
I like exagryph
I don't like Lucifer because of a single reason
it doesn't nullify the witch attacks
git gud
oof I feel like I am breezing through the game now after killing hades once
almost every run is a win, the end is near
time to turn up the heat
No sir it is not lmao
do whatever's most fun for ya
Yeah still discovering more and more boons
The ares and athena calls seem pretty strong
I mean any call that makes you impervious seems to be pretty decent
well it seems to chunk it out a bit when used at full power
approval process is evil 
i dont like being showed what i missed
It taunted you
I watched Amir and Greg stream their development of the game this one time. They have a spreadsheet of every time that happens. In that stream, they broke into a maniacal laughter as they watch a player die after not being able to get their Duos and Legendary. They said they keep a spreadsheet of every crossed out Duos and Legendary, make sure it is up to date and check it every day. They have it pinned as a memo in the middle of the office with info to keep morale up.
Bruuuuuuh
how many times you gonna post this copy pasta you menace 
Everytime AP comes up
You gotta punch it up with some emojis
Oh boy I'm gonna hook up emojifybot
nice

it's beautiful
maybe a bit much
I like this
I'm yoinking that
hey guys, so i was working on my fightstick for guilty gear today, and on reddit, i saw a guy with an amazing hades themed fightstick. anyone play this game on a joystick? hows it feel? just a novelty or does it actually work really well?
well fightsticks work well but they arent better than other input devices
its preference
arcade stick and joystick are two different things so your question is a bit confusing
Can a hitbox do everything a controller can?
yeah
I'm assuming you need to set it up with Hades
If somebody showed up to a fighting game tournament with a steering wheel anything can work if your comfortable with it
Dew it. I'm curious.
tbh I assumed that person was talking about strive and not hades
hades on stick sounds wierd but it would work tbh
Gonna show up to Evo with a single joycon
Lol
Honestly if you can map Dash strike to a single button on a hitbox
That would be bonkers
Nice
also idk why mapping dash strike with some sort of macro would be diff from hitbox to like keyboard
you can prob set it up some way
but not in a way thats intended
aka with outside tools
yeah
oops, yeah, im used to talking to the uninitiated in regards to fightsticks and they understand the term joystick more easily so i get used to just throwing that out there haha
but i wouldnt expect it to be superior or anything, but if it was say, just as good as a gamepad, that would be bad ass. i was just curious if anyone tried it and it had some glaring issues with one thing or another. could be a cool alternate use for a fightstick
make it feel like an arcade game or something
hades would def work on a stick, if it's as good? dunno
i have a hitbox aswell, and honestly i wouldnt even try it personally haha. hitbox is awesome for typing out your combos in fighting games, but using it for fluid platformer movement, ehhhh, doesnt sound like a good time haha. unless youre super used to wasd
also hmm
I can basicially see it working until you gotta use rail reload
then it gets awkward
im just imagining me setting up a faux cabinet and playing hades on stick like one of those old school arcade games and it seems like a super cool thing haha
How so? Do you have to push your stick to reload?
you can rebind it but basicially arcade layouts have 8 buttons
and reload would be a 9th
or am i miscounting
im tired
Okay so you need to layer it or "combo" it?
The click of arcade stick buttons hits different
agreed, i just put some crown mechanical switch buttons in my fightstick today, and they feel god damn glorious
what do you plan on playing with it? I have one, and I adore it tbh
Just some beat em up, maybe Guilty Gear Strive
Strive based
And Hades on hitbox sounds janky but fun
Yeah well i meant it as beat em up and maybe GGS also.
okay fair enough
gg rules with it
i had to switch back to standard stick for gg though, since sony wont let non licenced accessories work with any ps5 games
Yeah well I literally haven't touched a fighting game since I was like 5 year old.
So getting a hitbox is more of a novelty
there should be adapters no? although idk ps5
they worked with ps4
if youre like me and laugh away 200 dollar impulse buys i wouldnt think twice lol
i wanna get around to it some day but fighting games are kinda intimidating unless you've got friends
Yes.
and nah, its a big thing right now, any brook boards(the pcb in 99% of customs and non licensed) do not work with ps5 games. you can play them with ps4 games, but ps5 is locked out
wow that sucks
Getting bodied isn't fun. No matter what game you play.
i usually just spend way too much time in training making my combos muscle memory, then go into pvp and do pretty decent
since i start at 0 and have a bunch of hours built up already lol
once you get to decent to good players though, it can be a frustrating experience lol
only thing you can do is keep playin and learning
Its just not an accessible genre
Yeah. Like I play decent SC2 and the learning process was painful. After like 100 hours it gets better.
The only thing is that do I have the effort to go through the same thing again
GGS seems so good though
yeah
guilty gear is trying its best to be more catered to beginners/casuals
it used to be HARDCORE
I like the old guilty gears way more
the inputs and timing and cancels were famously the most intense of all fighters
compared to that they dialed it back 1000
lets go to videogames for fg discussion
me: time to play hades!
hades: heres a 15 min update on the switch
me: 

Zeus may have the beard of Santa Claus, but Poseidon has the personality
No, I refuse to take criticism
that makes sense
school wifi leeching commenced
nice.

uhhh question. how do I go about triggering hypnos' favor?
bc I know it's a convo with than but is there anything specific
Completing Hypnos' favor involves witnessing a series of events between him and Thanatos. To start, Hypnos will tell Zagreus that Thanatos has said some things to him that make him feel as though he's displeased his brother, and Zagreus states he will talk to Thanatos on Hypnos' behalf.
After Zagreus confronts Thanatos about Hypnos, periodically between runs Zagreus will encounter the brothers engaged in conversation. Thanatos will repeatedly criticize Hypnos' work ethic until finally seeming to discover a way to help Hypnos focus. Thanatos then praises the quality of his brother's improved work and apologizes for treating him badly. Afterward Hypnos will thank Zagreus for speaking to Thanatos, completing his favor.
Unlocking Hypnos' final heart cannot be done until after the full ending of the game, that is, until after Persephone has returned to the underworld. In order to do this, you must first also have given Thanatos at least 5 nectars. Getting Hypnos an autograph from Asterius or seeing the scene in which Dusa compliments his work is not required to unlock his final favor.
thanks
Question
Does Poseidon’s Legendary Knockback Boon (which does a 2nd knockback) trigger Sea Storm?
No I don't think so
was there an update of some kind?
my switch said that some data was downloaded successfully in the game
not a significant one, no
man i wish
might have something to do with the jp version launching on switch today, i have no idea
I was bout to ask same question
Anyone know if there'll be a multiplayer eventually?
well hades wasnt meant to be an ongoing experience they keep adding content to
Yeah same, I got the game recently. So I haven't even beat it.
@deft spade no, as per #hades-faq
true, but some dlc would be nice
true but I like the game as is. if there were any dlc I imagine just more gods
all games have to find an ending point somewhere :) what matters is the journey you had with it
yeah ig
Even games like mh has an ending.
Bastion has similar gameplay; there's Transistor and Pyre too 
You can keep playing Hades though
Only Zag’s now just doing a job
even if the sheer amount of stuff is not as plentiful as isaac
oh wow 400 hours
Theres a ton of stuff in hades
(not to say isaac is kinda bloated with items xD)
I have just beaten the game 10 times, just to get the ending
I still have a lot to play lol
looks... hello.... considering adding hours on mine out of spite LOL
look, i actually played like 4 hours in the last 2 months xD
let me just pop another 60 hours on there, me you and peach can be 400 gang
lmao i havent played since like.. february... but i havent played much of anything in months
eh its not that, its bad brain stuff <3 cant get into the mood for anything. theres plenty i do want to play, actually haha
one day i'll make it back around to hades and finish up whatever contractor stuff i still have to do
why are the characters voices in this game so hot?
it’s impressive how I want to have more meg encounters just because of her voice

good directing, most things come down to that
talented people too!
A majority of my experience with this game is crying because I want to kiss about 99% of the cast
cue crying in bisexual
I'd kiss tisiphone
yeah the voice direction is fantastic
and the characters are excellently written
you can tell the team did their homework on these characters
And went above and beyond to get that extra credit, too
probably the best download only game on the switch imo
hades has physical copies too. o got the physical for the amazing music as well
I didn’t know that it had physical copies
physical only came out this year
this game makes me wish I was into ladies lol
lmao
when it first came out my friends were falling over Nyx and Aphro and Meg etc and I'm just here like "uhh..yeah they are..cool!"
also is the new switch patch same as the Apr 2021 patch
Why the hell did we gloss over this
it be like that sometimes
and my taste in fictional people isnt the best
You can say you wanna kiss tisiphone and no one bats an eye
But when I say I wanna hold hands with theseus?
The whole server collapses
Being gay was acceptable in Ancient Greece lmao
Be more like Ancient Greece, people
think the issue was thesus, not being gay lol
he's a tissue wad but i can see their side too
for their comment i mean
Yeah, everyone's cool with gay stuff round here i think
Do I have bad taste in men? Don't tell my bf
i mean
i wanna kiss asterius so ur in the clear
That seems uhh
Interesting
Extremely valid to kiss bull man
he seems like a chill dude outside the fights so why not y'know? then theres zag himself then dusa, my pan heart can't take so many pretty people
artemis best girl tbh
Wait, there is this artist I follow on Twitter who made a human version of Asterius and I fell in love on spot: would you like to see?
yes pls
Facts
No pls like tisiphone
How to gitgud with bow and rail? Struggling to beat hades on 0 heat
I have maxed Rama
The hard part with bow and rail is that you have to stand still
Still struggling
You gotta figure out the spots where you can stand still for 2 seconds and be fine
Chiron Bow + Special Spam is nuts
Ikr
Also, dashes charge up the attack faster
Usually.... far away from the big guy
I would say Artemis Special for Chiron but i think it’s more Dio Special for Chiron
she's my fav out of all the sisters my fav to fight too
If you wanna play rama, then you can expect that he'll walk within range by the time your bow is charged
???
but honestly
My favorite build is going all in on Sea Storm ie getting Poseidon’s legendary boon, Zeus’s jolt, Poseidon’s rupture. And activating sea storm with dash and attack. For spear anyway
It just blitzes through Styx and ||Hades||
isnt poseidons legendary boon the fishing thing
He has two.
His primary more combat oriented Legendary makes all of his knockback boons deal a second instance of knockback.
ah
Heres whats annoying for me
I blaze through Tartarus
Blaze through Asphodel
Lose 1 DD in Elysium and thats it, and I make up for it with ||Kiss of Styx or Lucky Tooth||
BUT THOSE GODDAMN GIANT VERMIN AND SNAKESTONES
ALWAYS DRAIN ME OF MY HEALTH AND DEFIANCES
And then Im left with jack on the Hades battle
The battle itself is easy IMOits just a matter of having enuff health
You'll learn how to take care of em
Poison sucks…
The big rats are just tanks you don't want to stand in front of
Ikr
Unless you can deal boatloads of damage super fast
Snakestones.... I still get hit a lot from them
Snakestones I take out easy enuff cuz the health isnt super high
Isn’t there the 1 boss that’s basically a giant snake stone? That mini boss is actually pretty easy imo
Lol
Id give u the middle finger, bot, but ud probably ban me
You just gotta target the ranged enemies first in styx
Anyway in a censored version, I try to get to snakestone but rats get in way with poison
I try but see above
I just destroy everything with dash strikes lmao
And if I get to the greater call, I use that as well
Just don't step in the green puddle
There’s the cure thingies as well to help cure the poison damage
Cuz I can ram into them
I wish there was a way to sell all of your gems at once instead of one at a time
I used to use Athena Boons a lot, but then I realized that Sea Storm is just overpowered
Ikr
I used Athena for a bit in the beginning but now I realize her boons arent that great
No need for deflect if everybody else is DEAD
I keep em for the Olympian Favor boost thing
or whatever its called where more boons u have more attack u get
and the rest get purged the moment they come up
I mean, with Sea Storm you’re likely to have Privilaged Status go off
Heres the thing about poseidon boons(and I could be wrong since I dont think Ive gotten sea storm unless its not a legendary)
Privileged status itself is actually super good imo
Sea Storm is a duo boon
ok havent gotten it yet
Sea Storm is a duo boon of Zeus and Poseidon (Hence the name being Sea Storm)
Yes I gathered that once I knew it was a duo lol
Zeus Boons themselves can get super good when there’s multiple
Tidal dash is the strongest t1 poseidon boon
And Poseidon’s based around Knockback which itself is actually super good
I rlly dont like the boons that knock me away ngl
Im sorry but I like running up on an enemy and smacking em to death
I like knockback for weapons that already do some amount of knockback (like the shield and the spear)
and pushing them away makes me have to run more which makes me more suspectible to attack
Dash strikes exist
Yes and they are the best
Tidal dash is like poseidons aid but you can do it all the time
But idk if its just me but my knockback boons get it too far from dash strike range
Splash Dash does a lot of damage compared to like uh Athena
I mean, you can also get the wall slam damage as well
And in Styx, there’s basically no space to actually think knockback’s bad
Or stop short just before the wal
Styx Ill give you that
The knockback is great
EXCEPT in final rooms
Because I can knock someone over a poison puddle
The final rooms aren’t that big imo
That I will then have to walk through
Oh that sucks
exactlyy
I just dash everywhere lmao
That technically is a way to beat the poison puddles
I think
Thats true
Yeah you just dash over them
But my game likes to troll me and stop dashing IN A PUDDLE
Hermès Boons are so underrated imo
Dash attacks are just so useful
Same with getting coins per chamber
Heres whats annoying for me rn
I have diamonds stacked up but I have little to no necter
So I can buy the stuff needed to complete prophecies...but I cant unlock the stuff yet because I dont have enuff presents to unlock the favors 😔
Do you have the thing where when you get a nectar it gives you 1 level?
There’s also the Dio boon where you get nectar and HP
And dio boons like being leveled up more than other boons
also
Speaking of Dio, his introduction is just so glorious. “Hey zag man”
IKR
Heres the thing about Aphrodite
WEAK IS TRASH ON EVERYTHING EXCEPT MAYBE THE GLOVES
You don't get aphro for the weak
You get aphro because her core boons deal more damage than other boons
what core boons
Well, you should totally also get her for Weak, it's a powerful Status Curse.
How so
NGL if I ever get a trial of the gods chamber that contains Aphro, I always go for aphro because Aphro lore wise gets very angry when you make her angry, she started the whole Trojan war imo
You know how taking a core boon adds percent to your damage?
They have the highest base % for damage boosts.
Aphro's percents are bigger numbers
Fair enuff\
Meanwhile pressure points, which gets low % because each hit gets the chance to Crit
Aphro's battles are easy imo in trials
But those freaking heart charms
are so annoying
If you want big numbers you do aphro or artemis
Aphrodite's Trial is the easiest until a heart spawns underneath you.
Athena's trial is the easiest
Artemis Greater Call is super op lol
RIGHT
Thats why theres 5 bars instead of 4 tho
It’s pretty annoying in Elysium imo, since then you could kill an enemy only for that enemy to rearm and you can’t do anything to stop it
CASE IN POINT TO WHAT I SAID EARLIER
THIS ROOM WITH A BUNCH OF RATS AND SNAKESTONES JUST DRAINED BOTH MY REMAINING DEFIANCES
Yeah but by then you can clean up the rest of the room
Oof
You do know how to cure, right?
It wasnt poison
I dont mean that as an insult
It was lasers and those like pink arch things
Have you tried hiding behind pillars
and yes I know what cure is and how it works
No pillars in the room
it was that giant square room with the hole in the center
Oh yeah that room is pretty hard with snakestones
RIGHT
Zeus boons are really effective against Snakestones
Ok this run is out to get me
Had 2 fated authorities. Swapped a Hermes boon(which I had enuff of) and it gave me centaur heart. Just got one of those and I used it...got Athena boon. Which
A. Sucks
B. IS FOR SALE FOR ONLY 150 COINS
Snakestones stop firing when you damage em so you just gotta have a ranged option by styx I guess
Im using Exagraph :/
You swapped away a hermes boon?
Yeah I had the extra dash, an epic health recovery, and the side hustle
Or just dash to them lmao
which is weird cuz Im only supposed to have 3 hermes boons in a game
