peak orbit
#

Should I not use Damage COntrol?

stoic flame
#

lava is the bane to my existence

lunar orchid
#

yeah for sure

#

i have a habit of dash all over the place

peak orbit
#

I prefer Hunting Blades over Crystal Clarity

lunar orchid
#

hunting blades?

#

crystal clarity is the tracking lassers?

peak orbit
#

IDK I thought I could handle EM4 because I have beaten him before

lunar orchid
#

im not good with the names

peak orbit
#

HUnting Blades is a tracking Blade Rift

#

Crystal Clarity is the tracking lasers

lunar orchid
#

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

stoic flame
#

I had such a good build my last run

peak orbit
#

The most fun I'd have is with HUnting Blades

stoic flame
#

Lucifer with pos attack and zeus special with the zeus pos duo

#

best stuff

#

insane damage

peak orbit
#

But that's so reliant on having a lot of duos and legendaries

stoic flame
#

it's not that hard to get

#

use that one mirror upgrade

#

which increases the chance for duos and leggies

peak orbit
#

I know that

lunar orchid
#

my attack is wild

peak orbit
#

I just kinda get really greedy

lunar orchid
#

and i just got clarity with the mirage shot

#

oooo

#

i love laser beams

peak orbit
#

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

lunar orchid
#

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

peak orbit
#

Well I do need tidal dash for mirage sho

lunar orchid
#

you can use pos aid

brisk trail
#

I think you can just win with hunting blades on their own

#

but its gonna be less dmg ofc

lunar orchid
#

what happens when you challenge on the game table?

#

nothing happened when i did it

brisk trail
#

the wierd object to interact with?

lunar orchid
#

its the game table you can buy

brisk trail
#

they all dont rly do anything

lunar orchid
#

thats in his bedroom

brisk trail
#

except harp and well

#

basicially you can just cast hunting blades and focus on dodging until you cast them again

#

no need to rush

lunar orchid
#

i think the magnet gloves are my fav

stoic flame
#

when can u buy those vanity frames and stuff

brisk trail
#

I think they are max bond rewards

stoic flame
#

i remember someone saying u have to buy them

#

with keys and darkness

brisk trail
#

yes but to unlock them in shop you need max bonds

stoic flame
#

i have arte, zeus , pos, dio and dem bonds

#

maybe not dem

#

i cannot recall

signal aspen
#

You need to buy all work orders from the house contractor and then get bonds with certain characters

stoic flame
#

all of them

#

death

#

i have so many pending

#

mainly because i keep wasting my gems

brisk trail
#

time to farm gems dusa

signal aspen
#

Nice

stoic flame
#

is there a prophecy which gives hella gems or sumn

void vigil
#

farming gems is way easier now as long as youve got vanquishers keep

stoic flame
#

vanquishers

#

whats that

brisk trail
#

DUSA'S BACK

stoic flame
#

L

brisk trail
#

Oh my bad I forgot

void vigil
#

its a work order that gives you gems for beating bosses

brisk trail
#

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

stoic flame
#

epic

#

i dont have it

#

😔

#

btw by gems i mean

#

diamonds

void vigil
#

oh lol

stoic flame
#

🥴

void vigil
#

then you just have to complete prophecies, turn up the heat or convert nectar to diamonds

peak orbit
#

That wsa hard

#

I got real unlocky with my boons

void vigil
#

i have about 50 extra diamonds from clearing bounties, and i bought every single thing from the contractor

signal aspen
#

I only have 2 diamonds or something

#

I spent all of them on music that I'm not gonna listen to

void vigil
#

lol, this is after spending them on music

crude surge
#

I trade all of mine into Ambrosia into Titans Blood

#

I forgot about the music lol

signal aspen
#

Yeah I did the same thing

void vigil
#

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

modern garnet
#

wish i could turn diamonds into keys... then they'd be useful

#

:P

signal aspen
#

the only thing i care about is nectar

#

i need nectar to give to bouldy

crude surge
#

Bouldy is love

void vigil
#

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 cryingcat

signal aspen
#

ive started to spend my darkness on badges but im not planning on getting the last one

peak orbit
#

How much is the last on

crude surge
void vigil
#

it takes 325,000 darkness to unlock all of the badges

#

that is no small amount

cerulean ferry
#

Yikes

crude surge
#

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

peak orbit
#

I still have so much to do

crude surge
#

I hope I have enough Diamonds bounties left lol

void vigil
#

you can always buy them with nectar, it will just take time

peak orbit
#

I haven’t maxed out the aspects companion’s or keepsakes

void vigil
#

but i had more than enough left and i bought everything

#

except the badges

crude surge
#

I wish you could spend titans blood to get necter or smthn

#

because thats what I'm going to have an excess of

peak orbit
#

I low key regret putting so much ambrosia into titans blood

stoic flame
#

this is true

modern garnet
#

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

signal aspen
#

i would give a rock some orange soda

#

its a lot better than feeding some pointy objects

cerulean ferry
#

Rocks are round, very nice

royal thistle
#

imagine having diamonds :)

hardy socket
#

i just tried hades yesterday, pretty fun.

signal aspen
#

yeah its a great game

brisk trail
#

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

onyx skiff
#

yeah

#

and its basically infinitely replayable

frigid fossil
#

It would be nice if they added something for fathers day. You know for daddy Hades

low oriole
#

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

onyx skiff
#

yeah and you try to convince him you were joking

oak ibex
#

Another reason I relate to Zag too much: I make decisions for the memes that I immediately regret later

ashen nova
#

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 😂

have anyone experience with hades on the nintendo pro controler for steam?

hades (and a few other games) stoped working with it

#

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

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

chrome wharf
#

Turn off dark foresight and look for Dionysus?

and/or buy from the broker

how did i skip final boss without fighting?

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

yeah thats not a bug

thats just plot

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

onyx skiff
#

it is :)

gaunt ridge
#

dumb brain totally forgot about red health slowdown -.-

#

"I got DD left I'm nice." oh how wrong i was

zenith lava
#

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

gaunt ridge
#

heat = mutators
make your life more difficult in exchange for more rewards

signal aspen
#

you need to use heat to get more bounties

gaunt ridge
#

its like customizable difficulty

zenith lava
#

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.

gaunt ridge
#
Hades Wiki

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...

signal aspen
#

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

zenith lava
#

oh okay i get it now, its levels that go one by one, rather than 0-5

signal aspen
#

yes

#

you can only get 1 set of bounties at once

zenith lava
#

thanks for the help 🙂

signal aspen
#

so if you do 5 heat you will get the bounties for 1 heat

manic bobcat
zenith lava
#

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?

signal aspen
#

no imo

dense valley
#

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?)

signal aspen
#

yeah they dont do much

zenith lava
#

okay, so I should wait to unlock it.

manic bobcat
#

Listen on SGG YouTube channel to scratch that itch.

zenith lava
#

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?

chrome wharf
#

there's a pinned post in story discussion about it

zenith lava
#

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?|

chrome wharf
#

for spoilers you need 2 of the | but it's not mandated here

#

the list is a buyable at the house contractor iirc

zenith lava
#

oh got it, but just for reference, did i do it right?

chrome wharf
#

no, if you do it right the text in the spoilers will be hidden

zenith lava
#

spaces?

#

| test |

chrome wharf

It should look like this ||stuff||

i do it

vocal plover
#

why hasnt than showed up in like 10 runs wetpaint

high island
#

Chance.

vocal plover
#

damn i have the worst luck

#

i used to get him just about every other run

zenith lava
#

is than really that important, besides the cool visuals

manic bobcat
#

Yesnt

chrome wharf
#

no

zenith lava
#

he's good because he can give an extra buff, but that's never been game changing, its usually just like "oh, okay cool"

vocal plover
#

hes hot

zenith lava
#

but thats mostly it. or am i missing something

frank fulcrum
#

y'all i only have hypnos left to get max bond with

#

are there any tips other than die a lot and get lucky

narrow hemlock
#

you have to encounter thanatos in a run, they have a long back and forth convo that progresses the quest needed to unlock hypnos

frank fulcrum
#

thanks tatz

vocal plover
#

i finally got than and beat him

#

but he just disappeared again

#

😭

cerulean ferry
#

Yeah he does that

signal aspen
#

you can talk to him and give him nectar in the house of hades

vocal plover
#

im stuck at 6 hearts with him its locked

signal aspen
#

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

stoic flame
#

is hades keepsake good

#

i dont think i will ever use it

signal aspen
#

yeah its pretty good

stoic flame
#

because i mostly get a call boon in elysium

chrome wharf
#

how do you play the hades keepsake

stoic flame
#

u equip it 🗿

chrome wharf
#

:O mind blown

crude surge
#

Its the go to speedrun keepsake

chrome wharf
#

do you charge it fully and go ham on things

signal aspen
#

you should charge it half way and then use it

chrome wharf
#

Don't you only get 1 boosted hit that way

signal aspen
#

tbh i dont really know

#

i dont think that it boosts 1 hit

stoic flame
#

time to play it

vocal plover
#

does than appear on heatless runs?

signal aspen
#

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

vocal plover
#

okok thanks :0

chrome wharf
#

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

stoic flame
#

how the heck do u even get that blazing wheel thing from the well of charon

#

its impossible

stoic flame
#

but but

chrome wharf
#

luck

stoic flame
#

it never appears

signal aspen
#

buy it

stoic flame
#

okay

chrome wharf
#

I got it like twice across 2 saves

stoic flame
#

bruh

void vigil
#

you can only get flame wheels release in elysium

stoic flame
#

what does it do

chrome wharf
#

removes the tiny flame wheels

signal aspen
#

it makes every flame wheel turn into a banana

stoic flame
#

oh

void vigil
#

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

stoic flame
#

im only missing that for the prophecy

void vigil
#

yes, its kind of stubborn

modern garnet
#

that was my last one for the prophecy too

signal aspen
#

ive seen it a couple times and only bought it like once

stoic flame
#

oh hell yeah

#

hermes legendary

modern garnet
#

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

void vigil
#

in blood price update

#

and yes, it was a community feedback thing ragecry

#

people hate those little chariots

modern garnet
#

mmm

#

sometimes im worried that my build is bad against flamewheels but... it always ends up working out

chrome wharf
#

worst case scenario you just gradually lure them into walls

modern garnet
#

turns out they're a really good activator for deadly reversal

high island
chrome wharf
#

ah thanks

high island
#

They corrected the description in-game. Wiki has a description that's outdated and actually wrong.

stoic flame
#

i thought that tending the garden thing is gonna be something liek stardew valley

#

what a shame

inland shell
#

I hope the signed posters are still in stock!

crude surge
#

who would you ever want a flame wheel relese relese

modern garnet
#

because then i wouldn't get any flame wheel release, and I would have better odds of getting something good in ely

stoic flame
#

it doesnt even exist

modern garnet
#

now... if there was a butterfly ball release.... i would buy it every time

crude surge
#

how is no flame wheel not good

#

they annoying

vast musk
#

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.

modern garnet
#

Sometimes you get the 30 flame wheel room and you just know you will take zero damage

crude surge
#

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

wide flame
#

yo someone suggest a aspect/keepsake for a run

modern garnet
#

And you slide backwards hehe

question, do you always have to fill the gauge when starting a run?

tepid plover
#

The call gauge?

dark vector
#

the heat gauge

tepid plover
#

It saves per weapon

dark vector
#

ahh okay

modern garnet
#

If you dont fill the heat gauge then you can't get boss rewards

dark vector
#

yeah. I'm trying to keep up with more of the story so I wanted to ask

charred hemlock
#

what is the actual max for bloodstones that you can get

#

without the charon items

real citrus
modern garnet
#

Probably you can get 9 max

real citrus
#

Not sure how many exactly tho. sorry

modern garnet
#

Or 10?

real citrus
#

Not sure

modern garnet
#

You get the artemis legendary and then as many chaos stones as you can

signal aspen
#

It's possible to get 4 chaos gates in 1 run so you can probably get 9 casts without well of charon items

charred hemlock
#

i guess u have to pretty luck getting chaos gates and the item that spawns chaos gates

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

What on earth is that Thor game thats going around

#

Can supergiant sue that?

chrome wharf
#

I think they're at least aware

tepid plover
#

They didn't even bother to change the shades or anything

narrow hemlock
#

they're aware

chrome wharf
#

yeah it's the unfortunate side effect of a game being popular

#

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

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

probably just like that with zag, in myth he's pretty relazed

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 ❤️

#

Scroll down to saves

wispy helm
#

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.

uncut dagger
#

what is the OwO run

#

somebody needs to explain themselves

high island
#

@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

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

robust scaffold
#

i suppose its fine

void vigil
#

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

robust scaffold
#

with low heat u should be able to beat hades regardless though

#

also take deep pockets its really good for money

void vigil
#

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

robust scaffold
#

yea

#

also 5 sacking in styx gets u a lot of money

#

so u can consider that if u still dont have enough

golden turtle
#

5 sacking?

void vigil
#

getting the satyr sack in the last tunnel

crisp zodiac
#

Or just doing the other tunnels after getting the sack.

#

The term refers to simply doing both, right?

robust scaffold
#

yea kinda

robust scaffold
golden turtle
#

How do you know where the Satyr Sack appears?

void vigil
#

its random, but it will never be in the first tunnel

hollow hawk
#

There's a 53%ish chance it'll be in the 2nd tunnel

#

And then lower and lower for every other tunnel after it

hard pawn
#

hey guys I tried googling it but how do we unlock victory screen themes in the house contractor? what are the prerequisites

void vigil
#

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

hard pawn
#

I must be blind I can't find it sorry

#

on the wiki page

void vigil
#

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

Got it now

#

So, anyways, I've started a second file

#

It feels so weird

calm pelican
#

the trident with increased range is crazy

#

i still lost though

robust scaffold
#

is that like triple jab and extended jab or something

calm pelican
#

its an aspect

#

the first one

robust scaffold
#

oo

calm pelican
#

i guess its zagreus's

#

and then i also got increased range from daedalus's hammer

signal aspen
#

yeah that extended jab

robust scaffold
#

lol thats what i said

calm pelican
#

i should remember the names

#

does the prophecy list ever end

signal aspen
#

yes

calm pelican
#

i keep choosing bad boons because it has the prophecy icon on it XD

signal aspen
#

nice

brisk trail
#

good thing you only need to do it once

calm pelican
#

just need one more diamond to unlock erebus

#

whatever it is

#

i suck with every weapon other than the bow

chrome wharf
#

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

glass salmon
#

Sorry for the late reply lol

#

Btw steam sale in 30mins so I wonder how much hades will be

chrome wharf
#

it's 30% off isnt it

glass salmon
#

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

manic bobcat
#

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.

hollow hawk
#

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

brisk trail
#

I hate sword and I still hate sword

manic bobcat
#

I don't think I hate anything. Just some are alor more fun than others.

#

Zag shield and sword is residentzag to me

robust scaffold
robust scaffold
#

woo i got hypersprint and +40% move speed boon

#

im so fast

chrome wharf
#

man I can't handle rail

#

just keeping track of the call gauge is nearly too much for my small brain

manic bobcat
#

All brain cells firing off on all cylinders.

#

Still hit Artemis call not fully charged.

crude surge
#

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

modern garnet
#

i hate when i have a call that's worse at greater level, and i forget to use it until it's fully charged

crude surge
#

thats bad too

modern garnet
#

they should just... turn off the greater call for dio call

stoic flame
#

dio call is just dio dash but multiple times

crude surge
#

and the hangover is better

stoic flame
#

yes

#

i almost never pick it up

modern garnet
#

yeah but I'd rather have a better dash tbh

forest ruin
#

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?

stoic flame
#

the dash i dislike the most is aphro

#

because i dont like weak

stoic flame
#

classic

signal aspen
#

i dont like dio and ares dash

crude surge
#

Don't you also have to clean up after cerb too?

signal aspen
#

yeah

forest ruin
#

I did

signal aspen
#

buy more stuff

forest ruin
#

Hold on one sec

stoic flame
#

ares dash is okay

forest ruin
#

I don’t like the Ares dash

modern garnet
#

apparently you gotta talk to dusa about it after you buy the stuff

forest ruin
#

If the blade rift was where I ended up, much better

#

Ohhh ok

stoic flame
#

yeah

forest ruin
#

Well she already flew away so I’ll try again later lol

signal aspen
#

if you dont get the dialogue then you need to buy more stuff

forest ruin
#

Anyways the Damage Control on Pact of Punishment is such a steal imo

#

Easy heat

modern garnet
#

sshhh, dont say that so loud

signal aspen
#

its good on fast attacking weapons

modern garnet
#

it's a lot worse on stuff like bow

forest ruin
#

Ok on that I agree

#

Bow is by far my least favorite weapon

signal aspen
forest ruin
#

So hard to survive with

modern garnet
#

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

forest ruin
#

Is there anyone here who uses Cast on a regular basis?

signal aspen
#

yeah

modern garnet
#

yeah ofc

forest ruin
#

Like I use it every now and then for Boons and to weaken a boss but other than that, untouched

modern garnet
#

sometimes cast is the best part of my kit

signal aspen
#

ill use it on weapons that have a high base damage

#

casts really help out weapons like arthur and rama

modern garnet
#

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

stoic flame
#

bow and spear are my worst weapons

signal aspen
#

tbh spear might be my worst weapon

#

i dont really know how to play it without flurry jab or charged skewer on guan yu

stoic flame
#

i dont like the spear main attack

#

its a bit too linear

#

unless ur doing dash strikes

forest ruin
#

Spear is hit and miss for me

#

I like the Achilles aspect and that’s about it

modern garnet
#

gy is so thrilling to play with

stoic flame
#

achilles aspect is the only viable one for me

#

i just cannot get used to guan yu

modern garnet
#

if i wanted to play achilles aspect I'd just play shield

stoic flame
#

shield is really good but i dont like playing it at all

#

its boring

signal aspen
#

whats boring about it

stoic flame
#

its the same attack

#

whack whack whack

signal aspen
#

you should use the bullrush more

modern garnet
#

yeah the rush is the strength of shield

stoic flame
#

thats all i do

modern garnet
#

zoom across the battolfield

stoic flame
#

but then i started playing beowulf

#

the thing charges like a snail

signal aspen
#

the massive damage makes up for it

stoic flame
#

this is true

#

the special is kinda mid tho

#

its the same thing but feels worse somehow

signal aspen
#

dont use the special on beowulf

forest ruin
#

Bull rush is awesome

#

Ive heard mixed reviews on Exagraph what are your thoughts

manic bobcat
#

the gun?

signal aspen
#

exagryph is really good

manic bobcat
#

it's about the most versatile weapon in the game

#

(aspect wise)

#

and yeah certain aspects are regarded as best in game

marsh bloom
#

what is the latest Switch patch? the 1.0.38131?

forest ruin
#

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

stoic flame
#

I like exagryph

#

I don't like Lucifer because of a single reason

#

it doesn't nullify the witch attacks

signal aspen
#

git gud

outer yoke
#

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

signal aspen
#

time to turn up the heat

forest ruin
#

No sir it is not lmao

outer yoke
#

yeah I think I'll turn it up

#

I've been increasing it incrementally

modern garnet
#

do whatever's most fun for ya

outer yoke
#

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

signal aspen
#

yeah they are pretty good

#

ares call doesnt do any damage tho

outer yoke
#

well it seems to chunk it out a bit when used at full power

mint coral
#

approval process is evil SuiSiPain

signal aspen
#

ap1 is cool

#

it takes away the best option out of the 3 boons you get

mint coral
#

i dont like being showed what i missed

It taunted you

Oof

This is painful

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.

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?

unborn remnant
#

Dont have an arcade stick so I cant say

#

seems really cool though

brisk trail
#

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

manic bobcat
#

Can a hitbox do everything a controller can?

brisk trail
#

yeah

manic bobcat
#

I'm assuming you need to set it up with Hades

brisk trail
#

you can play hades on hitbox im pretty sure

#

I can try with mine

crude surge
#

If somebody showed up to a fighting game tournament with a steering wheel anything can work if your comfortable with it

manic bobcat
brisk trail
#

tbh I assumed that person was talking about strive and not hades

#

hades on stick sounds wierd but it would work tbh

brisk trail
manic bobcat
#

Lol

brisk trail
#

NO

#

DK BONGOS

manic bobcat
#

Honestly if you can map Dash strike to a single button on a hitbox

#

That would be bonkers

brisk trail
#

it works even nativley with hitbox

#

nice

#

you can just plug and play

#

Yeah

manic bobcat
#

Nice

brisk trail
#

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

manic bobcat
#

Yeah that's fair

#

I guess you can do a macro with your own controller also

brisk trail
#

yeah

sick ibex
#

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

brisk trail
#

hades would def work on a stick, if it's as good? dunno

sick ibex
#

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

brisk trail
#

also hmm

#

I can basicially see it working until you gotta use rail reload

#

then it gets awkward

sick ibex
#

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

manic bobcat
brisk trail
#

you can rebind it but basicially arcade layouts have 8 buttons

#

and reload would be a 9th

#

or am i miscounting

#

im tired

manic bobcat
#

Okay so you need to layer it or "combo" it?

unborn remnant
#

The click of arcade stick buttons hits different

brisk trail
#

naH ACTUALLY

#

its completly fine I miscounted

#

just unbind codex who needs it

sick ibex
manic bobcat
#

Hmm

#

I'm so tempted to buy a hitbox

unborn remnant
#

the sound is so oddly satisfying

#

its powerful

sick ibex
#

what do you plan on playing with it? I have one, and I adore it tbh

manic bobcat
#

Just some beat em up, maybe Guilty Gear Strive

unborn remnant
#

Strive based

manic bobcat
#

And Hades on hitbox sounds janky but fun

#

Yeah well i meant it as beat em up and maybe GGS also.

brisk trail
#

okay fair enough

sick ibex
#

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

manic bobcat
#

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

brisk trail
#

there should be adapters no? although idk ps5

unborn remnant
#

I havent played any proper fighting games

#

and have rarely used sticks

brisk trail
#

they worked with ps4

sick ibex
#

if youre like me and laugh away 200 dollar impulse buys i wouldnt think twice lol

unborn remnant
#

i wanna get around to it some day but fighting games are kinda intimidating unless you've got friends

sick ibex
#

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

brisk trail
#

wow that sucks

manic bobcat
#

Getting bodied isn't fun. No matter what game you play.

sick ibex
#

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

brisk trail
#

only thing you can do is keep playin and learning

unborn remnant
#

Its just not an accessible genre

manic bobcat
#

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

unborn remnant

yeah

guilty gear is trying its best to be more catered to beginners/casuals

uhhh question. how do I go about triggering hypnos' favor?

#

bc I know it's a convo with than but is there anything specific

signal aspen
#

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.

Does Poseidon’s Legendary Knockback Boon (which does a 2nd knockback) trigger Sea Storm?

???

limpid quartz
#

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||

forest ruin
#

isnt poseidons legendary boon the fishing thing

brisk trail
#

He has two.

#

His primary more combat oriented Legendary makes all of his knockback boons deal a second instance of knockback.

forest ruin
#

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

forest ruin
#

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 just destroy everything with dash strikes lmao

No need for deflect if everybody else is DEAD

or whatever its called where more boons u have more attack u get

#

and the rest get purged the moment they come up

modern garnet
#

Slower weapons like deflecting more

#

And the legendary good

limpid quartz
#

I mean, with Sea Storm you’re likely to have Privilaged Status go off

forest ruin
#

Heres the thing about poseidon boons(and I could be wrong since I dont think Ive gotten sea storm unless its not a legendary)

limpid quartz
#

Privileged status itself is actually super good imo

#

I like Poseidon's aid and the ocean's bounty

#

and that is it

forest ruin
#

ok havent gotten it yet

limpid quartz
#

Sea Storm is a duo boon of Zeus and Poseidon (Hence the name being Sea Storm)

forest ruin
#

Yes I gathered that once I knew it was a duo lol

limpid quartz
#

Zeus Boons themselves can get super good when there’s multiple

modern garnet
#

Tidal dash is the strongest t1 poseidon boon

limpid quartz
#

And Poseidon’s based around Knockback which itself is actually super good

forest ruin
#

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

limpid quartz
#

Dash strikes exist

forest ruin
#

Yes and they are the best

modern garnet
#

Tidal dash is like poseidons aid but you can do it all the time

forest ruin
#

But idk if its just me but my knockback boons get it too far from dash strike range

limpid quartz
#

Splash Dash does a lot of damage compared to like uh Athena

limpid quartz
forest ruin
#

Thats true

#

But sometimes they dont reach the wall

limpid quartz
#

And in Styx, there’s basically no space to actually think knockback’s bad

forest ruin
#

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

limpid quartz
forest ruin
#

That I will then have to walk through

limpid quartz
forest ruin
#

exactlyy

limpid quartz
#

I just dash everywhere lmao
That technically is a way to beat the poison puddles

#

I think

forest ruin
#

Thats true

modern garnet
#

Yeah you just dash over them

forest ruin
#

But my game likes to troll me and stop dashing IN A PUDDLE

modern garnet
#

Learn your dash lengths

#

Or get extra dashes umu

limpid quartz
#

Hermès Boons are so underrated imo
Dash attacks are just so useful

#

Same with getting coins per chamber

forest ruin
#

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 😔

modern garnet
#

Do you have the thing where when you get a nectar it gives you 1 level?

limpid quartz
#

There’s also the Dio boon where you get nectar and HP

modern garnet
#

And dio boons like being leveled up more than other boons

limpid quartz
#

also
Speaking of Dio, his introduction is just so glorious. “Hey zag man”

forest ruin
#

IKR

#

Heres the thing about Aphrodite

#

WEAK IS TRASH ON EVERYTHING EXCEPT MAYBE THE GLOVES

modern garnet
#

You don't get aphro for the weak

#

You get aphro because her core boons deal more damage than other boons

forest ruin
#

what core boons

brisk trail
#

Well, you should totally also get her for Weak, it's a powerful Status Curse.

modern garnet
#

Attack, special, cast

#

They increae damage by much more than other boons do

forest ruin
#

How so

limpid quartz
#

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

modern garnet
#

You know how taking a core boon adds percent to your damage?

brisk trail
#

They have the highest base % for damage boosts.

modern garnet
#

Aphro's percents are bigger numbers

forest ruin
#

Fair enuff\

limpid quartz
#

Meanwhile pressure points, which gets low % because each hit gets the chance to Crit

forest ruin
#

Aphro's battles are easy imo in trials

#

But those freaking heart charms

#

are so annoying

modern garnet
#

If you want big numbers you do aphro or artemis

brisk trail
#

Aphrodite's Trial is the easiest until a heart spawns underneath you.

forest ruin
#

Exactly

#

Artemis I like

modern garnet
#

Athena's trial is the easiest

limpid quartz
forest ruin
#

The critical percents are small

#

But when u get it, its amazing

forest ruin
#

Thats why theres 5 bars instead of 4 tho

limpid quartz
forest ruin
#

CASE IN POINT TO WHAT I SAID EARLIER

#

THIS ROOM WITH A BUNCH OF RATS AND SNAKESTONES JUST DRAINED BOTH MY REMAINING DEFIANCES

modern garnet
modern garnet
#

You do know how to cure, right?

forest ruin
#

It wasnt poison

modern garnet
#

I dont mean that as an insult

forest ruin
#

It was lasers and those like pink arch things

limpid quartz
forest ruin
#

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

modern garnet
#

Oh yeah that room is pretty hard with snakestones

forest ruin
#

RIGHT

limpid quartz
#

Zeus boons are really effective against Snakestones

forest ruin
#

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

modern garnet
#

Snakestones stop firing when you damage em so you just gotta have a ranged option by styx I guess

forest ruin
#

Im using Exagraph :/

modern garnet
#

You swapped away a hermes boon?

forest ruin
#

Yeah I had the extra dash, an epic health recovery, and the side hustle

forest ruin
#

which is weird cuz Im only supposed to have 3 hermes boons in a game
