[high island]

I hope Toffel isn't finishing 55 anytime soon, I'd have to do 56.

[hard pawn]

Jeez

[high island]

60 Heat WR is Tailesque, yes. 51 is the 1st place on the High Heat Women's Leaderboard.

[hard pawn]

I meant for achilles lol

[high island]

Oh.

[hard pawn]

Why is there a separate leaderboard for women aren't we all the same when gamin'

[high island]

I don't know off the top of my head. Check the leaderboard.

[hard pawn]

Well if it is tail's 52 achilles run, I will have to get 53 to beat it so I guess thats whats after 50 lol

[high island]

Because I was the only woman doing high heat for the longest time.

Until Toffel made it 2.

[hard pawn]

Aw

Well 3 is the charm

[amber kraken]

Dam Orpheous and Euridice are lethal when using the timed trial.

They started singing 'in the blood' I stood no chance

[hard pawn]

Huh

[amber kraken]

(I need to complete each stage of the underworld in under 7 minutes. But I stopped to listen to them sing losing alot of time and dying)

[hard pawn]

under 7 minutes huh hows that goin

What aspect

[high island]

The timer pauses in friendship rooms.

[amber kraken]

Gilgamesh

[hard pawn]

Wasn't gilga like

The worst aspect

[amber kraken]

Does it? Okay then I might just have been to slow xD

[hard pawn]

[amber kraken]

I like it

[hard pawn]

Oop thats great I wish I could like it to

Too*** omg

Can I stop making typos

If you aren't very keen on gilga there are plenty of other aspects that will grant you a better time

I know theres a gilga expert in this discord

You might want some advice from em

[chrome wharf]

yeah my relationship with being a "serious" gamer is always like. Wanting to rank up there as an afab but also rather spend time doing other hobbies

[tawdry tundra]

oh no

hard desicion

the 125 coin bag of random god

or centaur heart

its the last shop in tartarus

[hard pawn]

Thats completely conditional but for the sake of fun I'd say random god

[high island]

It's probably not the worst on an average run, but it's just bad at what it tries to be... whatever that is. But it's definitely among the worst for high heat and for speedruns.

[tawdry tundra]

im going random ig

[high island]

But that assumes optimal play, anyway.

[tawdry tundra]

ive already gotten two hearts in tartarus

zeus

[hard pawn]

I don't really understand what you're sayin here

Would you mind rephrasin

[tawdry tundra]

its special, thunder dash or epic lighting reflexes

i have one reroll but id rather not use it here

[high island]

Why does "rephrasin" look like the name of a drug.

[tawdry tundra]

now that you mention it it really does

actually

something ive never bothered to ask but am really curious about

whats the play with eurydice

ive usually just taken the boon upgrade or in rare cases pom porridge

[dusky wedge]

Wdym?

Oh lol

[tawdry tundra]

but whats actually the most useful one

[dusky wedge]

Boon upgrade is good if you still have few boons, so that it hits the boons you’d want to upgrade instead of other you don’t want to

[tawdry tundra]

but what about the other boon upgrade

[dusky wedge]

Usually, I just take the 3 next boon rarity upgrade, that’s just better on most situation when I met Eurydice

[signal aspen]

I usually take the ambrosia and hope it hits something good, if it doesn't, then I will quit, come back, and take the pom

[tawdry tundra]

ah

am not planning to savescum

oooh

next thing is hermes

and i took boon upgrade

hermes is nice with rares epics and the like

[chrome wharf]

so like what Nyaanyaa was saying there are relatively few women into high level/competitive gaming (compared to men), so as someone part of the "physiological" and/or identifying female crowd whenever I get into a game I think "I should try ranking to be an example" but then look at the practice/rng involved and it's like, so much time I'd rather spend on other hobbies

[tawdry tundra]

greatest reflex, swift strike or greater evasion

all of them are rare

i took greatest reflex because 2+ consecuitive dashes is too good to pass up on

[dusky wedge]

The best imo is reflex

Not the best choices, definitely

Whenever I see Hermes, all I can remember is Rush Delivery

[tawdry tundra]

what is that

the returning cast thing or

[dusky wedge]

Extra damage when you have a speed boost

Move speed boost, that is

[high island]

Eurydice picks depend a lot on what you have and what you're still looking for. When you're not sure what to take, just grab Refreshing Nectar.

[tawdry tundra]

k

[hard pawn]

Ohh ok I was confused bc I thought you were talking about an SO due to your pronouns role

[high island]

That gives you the most control over what gets upgraded, most of the time you end up with an upgraded Lord Hermes boon, which is huge, and you get better odds for Duo and Legendary boons.

[dusky wedge]

Does it stack with the mirror better odds of legends and duos?

Or does it, like, triggers two times?

[onyx hemlock]

Got all the way to the last fight with beowulf, and forgot it was my 10th time getting there, so got a free pass xD

Spared a [Redacted] fight with no death defiance lmao

[high island]

Yarn of Ariadne and Refreshing Nectar don't stack with each other, but they stack with any other rarity bonuses.

[amber kraken]

Gilgamesh's fists are fun. Yea I keep dying. But I also seem to be easily killing everything as well

[modern garnet]

that sure is the tradeoff that maim gives you

[amber kraken]

better than the special spear trade off in which I keep dying with hardly any benefit

[chrome wharf]

it's doom at home

[foggy orbit]

So what is Merciful End doing, exactly? Are deflect effects suppose to trigger new doom effects or are they only instantly triggering prior ones?

[modern garnet]

they instantly trigger prior ones

the reason it's strong is that if you have doom on attack and deflect on dash, you can just do dash strikes over and over

[foggy orbit]

Awesome, thank you for the clarification. That makes more sense.

I totally just built backwards for ME then, lol, but it’s all good.

[modern garnet]

I think you'll make it work

[foggy orbit]

Yeah, I think so, just not in the way I was intending, lol

Doing a Hestia run with Athena on attack and Aries on special. But I also have most of the doom buffs and the triple bomb hammer too, so should work out in the end.

[sly salmon]

https://gyazo.com/1baafc12fd68c35264399056bd64670b

that could have gone poorly

good thing I'm poor

[amber kraken]

whats wrong with having an athena boon?

[sly salmon]

I just wanted a fish

:(

also also, I'd much rather buy 2 other boons instead with the coin

[tawdry tundra]

whats a weapon/aspect i should try to pick up so i dont only play spear? (i hate ranged)

[high island]

Malphon, perhaps?

[tawdry tundra]

the problem with malphon

is that its too melee

somehow

i want to be up in the enemies face but not that up in the enemies face

but thats the entire problem

spear has around the only range i like

[high island]

Lol

[tawdry tundra]

maybe i should just wing it and try bow

[high island]

Tbh Eris is very much that.

[tawdry tundra]

whats the best aspect for bow

i have two titan blood to go around

or should i save them

hell if i know

[high island]

Probably wanna take Hera and swap to Stygian Soul and get Trippy Flare (Cast from Lord Dionysus).

For Stygian Soul builds, Lv.1 Hera is exactly the same as Lv.5 Hera, really.

[tawdry tundra]

so that means i should start the run with overflowing cup

[thorn marsh]

yeah

[tawdry tundra]

the fact that you are called local hera player makes this 10 times better

[modern garnet]

i wonder if "global hera player" is around here somewhere

[sly salmon]

can you attack with hades' aid?

like while invis? o.o

[tawdry tundra]

i got past tartarus with hera

i may have been on 16 health with no death defiance after alecto but then again, it was alecto and my first time really using hera

i got murdered in asphodel

expected

[high island]

Make sure you put a lot of poms on your Trippy Flare, and try to get +1 ammo from Master Chaos and from Wells of Charon.

Bonus Cast damage is always good, too.

And then try to get Snow Burst and/or Mirage Shot and just keep putting poms on your Cast.

[tawdry tundra]

so essentially

CAST

[high island]

Yeah lol.

[modern garnet]

if you're not casting, you're not blastin

or somethin

[shadow kernel]

How do you play eris without just dying

I take so much damage when I play eris

[tawdry tundra]

well the spear got the 20% darkness buff and i still only have 2 on fated persuation so now im grinding darkness

[shadow kernel]

But hestia I can play much more cautiously and still get big damage

[tawdry tundra]

i got demeter attack with serrated point

its pretty good so far

[modern garnet]

I dunno if eris necessarily requires an aggressive build... you can take it easy

[thorn marsh]

eris is an aggressive weapon though

eris is essentially a melee weapon

[modern garnet]

You don't have to hit yourself AND an enemy with the special if you're not comfortable with that

[tawdry tundra]

holy moly

epic hunter dash

70% more dash attack damage

with serrated point

and another 94 from epic level 2 frost strike

[modern garnet]

Nice.... sounds like a fun spear

What aspect

[high island]

Probably Hades again.

[tawdry tundra]

hades

thats the only one i run

[high island]

Try to get Killing Freeze and maybe more Dash-Strike damage from Master Chaos.

Arctic Blast not too bad either for boss damage since you'll apply Chill three times with every Dash-Strike.

[tawdry tundra]

barge of death is feeling like barge of life

i probably finished it in less than 10 seconds

and now i get a dio boon with sparkles

t r i p p y s h o t

i think ill take that

the only other thing of note is premium vintage

[high island]

Premium Vintage is really good.

[tawdry tundra]

but trippy shot

and i dont run into nectar than often

[keen lichen]

what's the difference in a "laurel" boon?

[high island]

Trippy Shot doesn't apply Boiling Blood, but it's alright.

Even if you never run into another Nectar, it's a pom slice + HP right there and then. That's a lot of value.

[tawdry tundra]

i dont have that upgrade yet

too many diamonds

[high island]

Oh gotcha. But it's still HP, so that's decent.

[tawdry tundra]

if i was getting one i would probably go for fated cthonic keys

yeah its 30hp

its rare too

but so is the trippy shot

[keen lichen]

i know laurel hp, pom and gold are basically double the thing.
but boons? what does the laurel do in a boon? increased rarity? starts at level 2?

[high island]

Tbh you're probably thinking more about this choice right now than it actually matters. They're both alright picks.

[tawdry tundra]

i guess ill take premium vintage

[thorn marsh]

dark foresight?

[high island]

All of the exits have laurels on them. Gold laurels and cobalt laurels.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/520688402958516254/660997121406926849/hades_room_rewards_guide.png

[keen lichen]

oh and dark foresight makes gold laurels more frequent than blue ones?

[tawdry tundra]

oh yeah i forgot

i also have another 52% damage from chaos

[thorn marsh]

dark foresight yeah

[high island]

Dark Foresight changes the odds from 50/50 for gold vs blue to 70/30.

[tawdry tundra]

hmm

[high island]

Minibosses and Styx tunnels are always gold laurels, though. So they're unaffected.

[tawdry tundra]

pom or mystery bag

pom could buff dash attack even more

[high island]

Maybe link a screenshot to your build right now.

[tawdry tundra]

but bag could also be really good

me?

[high island]

Yeah.

[tawdry tundra]

how to

link

i know how to take

[high island]

Oh, you gotta upload it to an image host like imgur, or you can upload it to private discord server and get the direct link from there.

[tawdry tundra]

too many steps

guess ill just dm it if thats ok

[high island]

I guess, but I'd rather you just link it.

[tawdry tundra]

fair but firstly ive never done that before secondly i kind of just want to continue my run

actually

frick it

[chrome yoke]

Im gonna fight hades for the first time ever now

[high island]

Good luck!

[tawdry tundra]

EPIC:
hunter dash
frost strike lvl 3
aspect of hades
posidons aid

RARE:
slothful strike (52% dmg chaos)
premium vintage

NORMAL:
swift strike
auto reload
life affirmition
OTHER:
serrated point

and lastly dark thirst

[high island]

Yeah, take the boon.

[tawdry tundra]

so much for just wanting to continue the run

[high island]

I feel like making an imgur account or private server real quick would have been faster.

[chrome yoke]

KIlled him once, but the attack where he shoots those 3 beams got me.

[high island]

You don't really have any boons that scale too well with poms except for your Call.

[tawdry tundra]

i got dying lament

common

time for bone hydra

[high island]

Dying Lament is really good for Satyr tunnels later.

And early on in Tartarus.

[tawdry tundra]

oh yeah

[chrome yoke]

I probably would have won, but this is a pretty low-geared save

[tawdry tundra]

done with hydra

[high island]

Most people don't beat him first try. It might take a few attempts to get used to his attacks and maybe get a better build.

[chrome yoke]

I had a really good build, a lot of deflect, damage and attack speed

But yeah, killing him once/twice on the first try is a win in my book.

[tawdry tundra]

i can just imagine zagreus just buffing up to twice his size whenever he dash attacks

the battles are going by that fast right now

[chrome yoke]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/826796295204372492/865692665512591451/unknown.png

this was my gear

[tawdry tundra]

hmm

demeter or hammer

[high island]

Hammer will show up again, take the boon.

[tawdry tundra]

boon is there because of keepsake btw

i hadnt used frostbitten horn yet

[high island]

I'd still take the boon.

[tawdry tundra]

ok

[chrome yoke]

What? i just got a boon from a god ive never seen before

[tawdry tundra]

killing freeze epic is here

who?

what does it look like

[chrome yoke]

It seems to be Demeter

[high island]

Lady Demeter doesn't show up until you make it to the surface for the first time.

[tawdry tundra]

ah yeah

well

[high island]

Easy pick.

[chrome yoke]

Ooh.. is Chill a good debuff?

[tawdry tundra]

oooh hard choice

dio or arte

[high island]

Lady Artemis.

[tawdry tundra]

ok

[high island]

You wanna try to get Pressure Points here.

And then if you see her again, you want Hunter's Mark.

[chrome yoke]

What does chill do?

[tawdry tundra]

just as you say that

[high island]

Chill slows down enemies, stacks up to 10 times.

[tawdry tundra]

epic flipping pressure points

[high island]

Nice nice.

[chrome yoke]

Thats really useful for Theseus and the Minotaur, probably

[high island]

Pressure Points by itself doesn't do too much, but it's still nice. It's when you have Hunter's Mark that it really shines.

Yeah, Chill is decent for boss fights. Can throw your timing off if you're not used to it.

[tawdry tundra]

hammer or pom

[high island]

Probably the hammer here.

[sly salmon]

when is hammer -not- a the top priority?

o.o

[tawdry tundra]

theres quick spin

[high island]

Ideally a spin hammer, the others don't really matter. But it keeps showing up if you don't take it here, and the pom here doesn't have too much value, so you're not losing much.

[tawdry tundra]

for easy debuffs

[high island]

Nice nice.

[tawdry tundra]

the rest are special upgrades anyway

i have 158 coins no need for healing

sparkle aphro or shop

[high island]

Always .

[tawdry tundra]

aphro is prob asterius but whatever

guess not

butterfly ball

[high island]

If you dash on top of it and summon Meg, that'll take care of the armor immediately for a super fast kill.

[hard pawn]

Ball before battie and after battie is such a funny difference

[tawdry tundra]

not even a single elysium warrior thing managed to pick up a weapon

[high island]

Nice nice.

[tawdry tundra]

i dont have companions yet

crush shot or different league

the other is special upgrade

maybe i should pick up some defense now idk

[hard pawn]

With battie butterfly ball is like a 3 second chamber very pog if ur bad w time

[high island]

It really depends a lot on the aspect and build, whether it's first or second hammer, and what hammer you already got if it's the second hammer.

[hard pawn]

I'll give an example

[sly salmon]

I just thought the buff to your weapon was always better than pretty much any boon you could want, yeah?

[tawdry tundra]

crush shot or different leauge

[hard pawn]

If you picked up flurry jab or serrated on achilles spear you don't really need another hammer if the other option is a boon that can be crucial to a duo, or a pre requisite

[high island]

What's the third option?

[tawdry tundra]

special

[hard pawn]

Lol

[tawdry tundra]

essentially void

[high island]

I like Different League here.

[tawdry tundra]

ok

ooh theres an arte

imagine if i get mark

[high island]

You don't think it matters until you win a run with 0 DDs and 5 HP with Different League.

[tawdry tundra]

ooh its thanatos

free centaur heart

[hard pawn]

I wish he would talk more in contests

[tawdry tundra]

he lost 3 to 12

noob

jk

hunters mark

it may only be common

but still

[hard pawn]

What else have you got so far

[tawdry tundra]

everything i would ever need for an absolutely bonkers dps

[high island]

Ask him if he's new at this.

[hard pawn]

That could be a lot of things lol

[tawdry tundra]

chaos 52% damage buff hunter dash 70% frost attack 96%

[hard pawn]

Frost attack on hades? Oop

[tawdry tundra]

to list a few

and i have serrated

[lavish gyro]

Is it just me or is the Orpheus solo of good riddance better then the Eurydice solo

[tawdry tundra]

theres patroculus

or aphro

[hard pawn]

I prefer Eury's

[high island]

always.

[tawdry tundra]

bruh ok

[hard pawn]

Patty

[lavish gyro]

Orpheus voice is just so amazing

[tawdry tundra]

id have taken patroculus if i didnt still have all of my death defiance

[hard pawn]

Don't listen to the obsessed worshipper over here for this one

[high island]

Why would you take Patroclus over a boon from Lady Aphrodite? That makes no sense. She's the Goddess of Love and Beauty.

[hard pawn]

Oh I forgot death defiance is a thing

[chrome yoke]

am i the only one who thinks Eurydice's singing is absolutely wonderful?

[hard pawn]

I think all the singing is wonderful

In this game

[tawdry tundra]

crush shot or wave of despair

[chrome yoke]

The entire OST is pure gold.

[tawdry tundra]

the other is special

[hard pawn]

10/10 game

[high island]

Wave of Despair.

[tawdry tundra]

ok

[hard pawn]

I did Em4 today and just dodged for a bit just to listen to unseen ones

[tawdry tundra]

pom or coin

pom i assume

[hard pawn]

Not the same vibe when ur in the house

[tawdry tundra]

i have 232 coins

[chrome yoke]

I rate it 9.6/10

[high island]

m not just an obsessed worshipper, m the high priestess of the Temple of Aphrodite.

[tawdry tundra]

ill go pom

[high island]

Yeah, grab the pom.

Try to get a pom on Hunter's Mark.

If not that, then Killing Freeze or Call.

[hard pawn]

I would also join the temple had the secondary boons not been so niche

[tawdry tundra]

pressure points dying lament or different leauge for pom

[high island]

One of the , of course.

[hard pawn]

I would do pp

Uhhh page not found

Am I being hacked

[high island]

That's probably more suited to #self-promotion, I think?

[hard pawn]

There goes all my personal info

[tawdry tundra]

im taking pp

[hard pawn]

[tawdry tundra]

pom or shop

i think its the final thing

for elysium

i have 226 coins

and i need healing

shop it is

[high island]

Sounds good yeah.

[tawdry tundra]

dio or pom

i have enough for one

[high island]

Boon.

Strong Drink maybe.

[tawdry tundra]

or do i save incase something goes wrong with theseus and kiss of styx saves it

ill do boon then

trippy shot or positive outlook

i still dont have a cast

upgrade i mean

[high island]

Positive Outlook, I guess.

[tawdry tundra]

ok

[high island]

Take the Acorn in Styx. You should be fine even if you lose a DD here.

[hard pawn]

You don't need to fill out every slot

[tawdry tundra]

you sure i shouldnt take lucky tooth?

i have it maxed

acorn ive never used

at styx i mean

[hard pawn]

Lvl 1 acorn is kinda bad yee tooth might be better

[void vigil]

@karmic prawn as nyaanyaa said, please repost your project in #self-promotion

[high island]

I'd say so. Even if just to level it up a bit.

[tawdry tundra]

ok i guess

going into champions now

[chrome yoke]

How do i make orpheus sing

[hard pawn]

Start w spin kite bool to the sides and jus chip him off while dodgin the darts

[tawdry tundra]

bodied em

[hard pawn]

Noice

[high island]

Nice nice. You have the DPS.

[tawdry tundra]

and i have positive outlook and different league

for tankiness

and like 288 max health

ok now is the time

acorn or tooth

[high island]

Acorn.

[tawdry tundra]

fine

[chrome yoke]

I really love how i can customize the house of hades with gems and diamonds

[hard pawn]

I miss no heat back when it was still fun

All this high heat has made it feel too easy

[hard pawn]

And as a cherry on top you get hades to make a sour comment every time

[chrome yoke]

Exactly!

I love how i can make the literal god of deaths house purple and flowery

[hard pawn]

Hehe and you a get a whole message from nyx when you put flowers to her corner

[tawdry tundra]

styx shop

two 300 poms

arte 150

centaur heart

[high island]

What are the miniboss tunnels?

[tawdry tundra]

and anvil

arte and pom

[high island]

And how much money do you have?

[tawdry tundra]

368

i did a couple non miniboss

didnt take that much damage

[high island]

Oh, do you have the sack yet?

[tawdry tundra]

no

[chrome yoke]

Indeed

[tawdry tundra]

theres one posidon non miniboss left

[high island]

Hmm. Buy the HP now, then take the pom tunnel.

[tawdry tundra]

buy centaur heart?

[high island]

That's a double pom.

Yeah.

And then buy another double pom after the tunnel.

I think ideally you just get poms on your Call now.

[chrome yoke]

New enemies, wriglers have shown up. Is this because i reached Hades?

[high island]

Wringers. Yeah, I think that's the trigger.

[tawdry tundra]

pom was sack

[high island]

Nice. Then just buy another pom and go fight dad.

[tawdry tundra]

hunter dash positive outlook or different leauge

[high island]

Dash.

[tawdry tundra]

ok

[high island]

Poms on the damage reduction boons are almost never worth it.

[tawdry tundra]

posidons aid positive outlook pressure points

[high island]

Aid.

[tawdry tundra]

ok

[karmic prawn]

oohhh okey, thanks i din't knoww, sorry!!

[tawdry tundra]

its time

[high island]

Should be GGs.

[chrome yoke]

I like how Zagreus says that Demeter has shown him great warmth when you first gift her

[high island]

You could probably just out-DPS him at this point.

[tawdry tundra]

well yeah

but would that be any fun

[high island]

Probably.

[karmic hare]

#h1-story-discussion and yeah it's pretty funny (also what should I make my name)

[tawdry tundra]

gg

i tanked the full phase 2 laser circle

[high island]

She's the Goddess of the Seasons, after all, not only the Goddess of Winter.

[high island]

He actually can't hit you if you stand right on top of him.

[tawdry tundra]

well

i didnt

[high island]

Yeah, I was just saying.

GGs.

[tawdry tundra]

its in victory boasting now

[karmic hare]

Not to be that guy but Persephone is the goddess of springtime and of seasons, Demeter is the goddess of crops and harvesting

[high island]

"...Over time, mortals have come to fear great Demeter, eldest of Olympians, goddess of seasons, bringer of plenty, and taker-away of it."

First sentence in her codex entry.

[tawdry tundra]

best part about the run?

i screenrecorded the entire hades fight

[karmic hare]

I suppose Hades mythology is slightly different from Greek mythology or maybe it takes place before the title of goddess of seasons was granted to Persephone which makes sense with the story

That's kind of cool that they changed what the gods are gods of for having Persephone gone.

[hard pawn]

If hades mythology was like greek mythology a lot would change lol

[karmic hare]

Yeah lol

[glossy remnant]

:/

got the soundtrach because I love it

isn't playing.

On steam

._.

[high island]

@glossy remnant might wanna ask for help with that in #h1-tech-support. Also if you contact them through their website, they can send you the audio files (even in FLAC for lossless audio). https://www.supergiantgames.com/contact/

[glossy remnant]

I guess, thx :)

I can play them localy

but the steam audio player doesn't like them

[lethal dawn]

i just beat the challenge in erebus for the first time, i was sooo stressed 😭😭

[chrome yoke]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/826796295204372492/865719500539035668/unknown.png

ay!

First legendary boon on this file

[sick ridge]

If I restart my run with a different weapon and pick the exact same rooms will everything be the same in Tartarus?

The boon choices

Same heat

Same mirror

Same keepsake

[strong vessel]

It won't. It's random each game

[south lagoon]

if you're just hitting Give Up i don't think that resets the rng does it?

[chrome yoke]

Am i the only one who thinks that the bow is really hard to use?

[modern garnet]

I think it's the hardest to learn

[brisk trail]

If you hit give up then yes

[brisk trail]

No i do to, although the hidden aspect is AMAZING

[high island]

It's possible, but there are a lof of small things that can affect the RNG, so you probably won't be able to recreate it if you don't know all the fine details of how that works. But at least the first boon/hammer you get will be the same.

[chrome yoke]

1. How do i get the autograph from Asterius
2. How do i make orpheus sing

[signal aspen]

To get the autograph from bull man you need to die to him a bunch, and then die to Theseus

And I forgot how to get orpheus to sing, just talk to him and give him nectar

[high island]

Talk to everyone and give them Nectar is how most of these issues are resolved.

[chrome wharf]

No wonder I never got it.... Suffering from success

[keen lichen]

can heroic replacements be offered twice+?
i mean, i already swapped an epic dash for a heroic one.
can it happen again with other core skills like attack etc?

[chrome yoke]

Does dying to him in the 1v1 duel with Asterius count

and how many times do i have to die exactly

[chrome wharf]

for bow it depends on the person, it seems like

I was getting walled by champions until I switched to bow and got to dad on my second try

[signal aspen]

You have to die to bull man 3 times, Theseus 2 times, and die in the final boss fight 1 time

And yeah the miniboss room counts

[signal aspen]

Yeah same, I still don't have it

[signal aspen]

Yeah it's just really rare

[chrome yoke]

Does it count in what order you do it?

I've died to Asterius ONCE in total,
To Theseus TWICE in total,
and to the final boss once

[signal aspen]

By final boss I mean the final fight in elysium

[chrome yoke]

Oh yeah

[signal aspen]

And idk if you have to die to them in a certain order

[chrome yoke]

yknow what ima just google it

[keen lichen]

lmao it happened like 3-4 times in this last run.

[signal aspen]

Bruh

[chrome wharf]

tfw you have all priority slots... and rare crop picks divine dash

[high island]

Ah yes, the rare common crop.

[rapid forum]

at least your dash now deals 30 damage

kek

[chrome wharf]

*22

[signal aspen]

Even better

[rapid forum]

still worth

I honestly don't know what's better

I'm thinking splitting headache for the crits

Epic deadly flourish and a hunter's mark which will be upgraded to heroic by demeter

And that was the right choice!

Cuz I got low tol from the shop

[stable glen]

F

OH BIG F

[high island]

Is that Chiron? This is an odd one because Hangover is on Dash here. Low Tolerance is generally the best pick if you can quickly get 8 stacks, but your Hangover tic damage is so low, Splitting Headache is probably the only one that makes sense because it's global.

[stable glen]

It is chiron, I'm not getting hangover for the damage

I'm in it for the crits

[high island]

But just in terms of Hangover damage itself, Low Tolerance is the best one. The other two are more for when you already have Low Tolerance or when you only have something like Drunken Dash with no poms on it.

[stable glen]

It worked out for me anyway

now I'm trying to get heart rend

[river vigil]

still usin chiron?

[stable glen]

Nah

achillies

I hate witches

in erebus so much

the AI

makes them just hide from you

[river vigil]

lmao yeah

[stable glen]

Screwed up a zeus erebus

wtf

It's so dumb

it's aight I restarted and got it this time

[stable glen]

Hey guys

how do charon fights work

as in, where don you go after you win

[granite ether]

you go to the next room

[stable glen]

There's two choices

life, or zeus

I need a zeus boon

but loyalty cards are nice

idk what to do

Zeus can offer me his legendary or sea storm and I'll gladly take both

[worldly narwhal]

bruh why is charon so hard

[calm pollen]

If I complete Skelly’s request ||is he gone forever||?

[granite ether]

skelly is gone forever. ||nope, skelly will come back||

[south lagoon]

||well, you know what they say. there is no escape||

[calm pollen]

||That’s a relief lol would’ve missed the guy. Thanks a bunch of the answer!||

[idle wind]

So I was at 2/3 death defiances.. used the athena boon to replenish back to 3/3 and got offered Kiss of Styx from a well in the same room I got the boon. If I pick it will I go 4/3 death defiances or will it take my 200 gold with no effect?

[modern garnet]

It won't give you 4

It might not let you buy it, or it'll just burn your money

[idle wind]

figured.. im morbidly curious if itll take my money or not

[high island]

You can't buy it.

[south lagoon]

i have the Heart of Stone boon from Bouldy that gives me extra % obol, will that also apply to Side Hustle if i get that

hang on

it's +6% and the Hustle option is common +10 per chamber so i guess it doesn't rly make a big difference either way

[kind dust]

...bouldy gives you BOONS??

[modern garnet]

Once you unlock the option to give him nectar yeah

[calm pollen]

I’ve been giving him nectar all this time and never realized it did anything

[manic bobcat]

Sometimes it doesn't

[stable glen]

I thought it was +2%

[south lagoon]

does it vary at all? i think it said 6 for me

[stable glen]

idk

maybe I'm dumb

I'm like 5k darkness away from the infinite theme

final one

[south lagoon]

wiki says it goes from 1-7%

also that's awesome good luck

[stable glen]

ty

This game feels amazing on controller

Switch pro is so underrated for PC

I bought it for switch ages ago but I use it on PC now

Weird thing is, around the home button, there's a blue light that only lights up when establishing a blue tooth connection to something like a PC, you never see this from normal switch use

but I don't think nintendo every mentioned that it works on PC

Oh nvm, it got a use on switch in firmware version 9

Splitting headache?

not using hangover for the dmg here

[thorn marsh]

what are u playing rn?

[high island]

Yeah, probably.

[stable glen]

Nyaanyaa I saw your recent victory on guan yu and that's your hell mode file, right?

how many clears do you have on your main?

GOD

EVERY DAMN TIME

I TRY TO RUN NEMESIS OR DEMETER

AND I GO "THIS TIME I WON'T RUN MERCIFUL END"

AND ARES AND ATHENA HAVE TO SHOW UP IN TARTARUS TO RUB IT IN

[hard pawn]

Lol

[high island]

Right. 460-something on my main save.

[stable glen]

ooh, nice

[high island]

1,706 escape attempts.

A bunch of them are resets for speedruns, though.

[soft echo]

Finally beat EM4 today. Aspect of Nemesis + Merciful End 😌

[stable glen]

Nice!

[median fox]

hey while i was watching made in abyss i noticed that in a few episode the environments in the show like the second layer and the goblet of giants area look a lot like asphodel and elysium was hades inspired by some of the environments maybe or was the show inspired by some places described in mythology?? (do tell if this isnt the place to ask these types of questions)

[desert juniper]

does chaos boon affect shackle?

[karmic hare]

Which boon

Oh wait

No if you have a chaos boon you will still get the shackle benefits

[desert juniper]

alright nice, thanks

[little ridge]

Is it on ps4 yet ?

[cerulean ferry]

Nope, August 13th

[floral ledge]

yoyoyooooooo

I just beat all the harsh conditions and got a juicy 25 units of blood

IDK where to spend so general advice would be good

Right now I'm wondering between

1. Get another hidden aspect up to max, as I only have 2 currently unlocked.

2. Get Chiron's bow because I wanted to play a right click build with seeker arrows

3. Get new fists because I currently have Zag's and, while dodge is cool, I kinda miss damage a lot

[rapid forum]

max your main?

[floral ledge]

main?

what do you mean

[rapid forum]

like the weapon that you will indefinitely use the most?

[floral ledge]

right now I use the weapon with the back hue that grants +20% rewards

Might grab a main later when I start a fair heat level and have enough darkness to fill at least 1 side of the mirror

[rapid forum]

ah well, then I guess unlock other aspect first

prob fist

demeter fist is fun

[floral ledge]

tyty

[floral ledge]

does pom blossom work at all rooms of the satyr lair, or just the final one of each tunnel?

[raw herald]

All rooms, however the plume and butterfly just work on the last chamber of each tunnel

[floral ledge]

ahh well then I'm keeping the pom 😄

ty

[mellow vale]

heya! (hopefully this is the right channel for this!) I was wondering if Supergiant and Darren Korb specifically allows people to use the music from their games in for example twitch streams and youtube videos?

[calm pelican]

woooooo finally cleared 32 heat

[river vigil]

nice congrats

[hard pawn]

Ooh what did you do it with

[calm pelican]

aspect of chiron

[hard pawn]

I wanna try do some high heat with chiron too a lot people speak highly of it

[calm pelican]

got artemis's special atk bonus to heroic and some other crit based boons

its the easiest to use for me XD

[hard pawn]

I'm trying to decide whether to do 40 with chiron or rama

[stoic flame]

its kinda slow in rooms but its good fofr bosses

[calm pelican]

but chiron is slow

[stoic flame]

atleast for me

[calm pelican]

yeah

i cant do 5 mins

i can barely make it out of tartatrus

[stoic flame]

i barely make 7 mins

[calm pelican]

had to go with 7 mins

Is it better to start investing in the other side of the mirror before grabbing the last buff?

4k is quite a hefty sum

actually scratch that I can always respec ifI get spare 4k

[hard pawn]

Golden touch isn't good

And high confidence is only for speedrunning

[floral ledge]

Golden touch is buying me a lot of diamonds and titan blood at the end of my runs

[hard pawn]

Gwt the final roll

[floral ledge]

I am still doing heat ~5

so no real need for shops

[hard pawn]

I don't understand

Shops are good in any heat

Golden touch is not good lol

Max out fated persuasion

Rolls are pog

[floral ledge]

golden touch is giving me around 500 gold at the end of each run

I reach styx with 1200g if I hit about 3-4 shops along the way

and I don't need shops to beat the game this early

I mean, what's the alternative?

150g at start?

[hard pawn]

I don't rlly understand your grudge against shops

You're the first person I've seen who uses golden touch lol

[floral ledge]

if I save money until the end I get to buy an extra blood/diamond

[hard pawn]

Thats a big waste of time

Using different weapons

[thorn marsh]

ur actively hurting ur runs by not shopping until styx imo

[hard pawn]

And going up 1 heat at a time

Will renew boss rewards

[hard pawn]

^This

[thorn marsh]

it lowers ur chance of getting good boons from the shop

avoiding the hermes and stuff is bad for ur runs

[floral ledge]

but I win most of my runs? Even the ones where I get trash

[hard pawn]

If you are keen to not use money turn up convenience fee pact to renew ur boss rewards like 3 times for each weapon you use and you will spend x10 less time grinding styx for one single boss reward

[thorn marsh]

ur climbing the heat ladder

taking golden touch is going to get worse and worse the more heat u add

[floral ledge]

correct

the point is since I don't need gold yet, I don't see a point to not grab the free expensive stuff

[hard pawn]

We are telling you why lol

[hard pawn]

.

[void vigil]

the lets play policy on their blog might have the answer youre looking for. otherwise, you can contact them directly: https://www.supergiantgames.com/blog/policy-on-lets-play-videos/ https://www.supergiantgames.com/contact/

[hard pawn]

Idrk what your point is? Is this a flex or do you just want to limit yourself for no reason

If you want to make the game harder in terms of money and get boss rewards at a way faster rate simply turn on convenience fee

[floral ledge]

no, I just don't get your point

[hard pawn]

Do you know what the pact of punishment does

[floral ledge]

turning up convenience fee has nothing to do with optimizing gold gain for faster clear

[thorn marsh]

ur basically debuffing urself for no reason by taking golden touch

[hard pawn]

If you want faster clears you should not be grinding for weapons currencies and using that gold for sweet sweet boons :)

[floral ledge]

When I say faster clears I mean I want to unlock the weapons faster

[hard pawn]

If you use the pact of punishment every 1 heat you go up will refresh the 2 titan blood, ambrosia and diamond

You get

[floral ledge]

yes

[hard pawn]

So instead of having to grind money to styx for a singular diamond or blood

[floral ledge]

but I'm getting 3 bloods when I buy the one at styx

[hard pawn]

You can increase your heat if you find the game so easy :) and get all the rewards you sought to upgrade your weapons

[thorn marsh]

by the time u finish grinding for that One blood u could be in another run already

[floral ledge]

what does it have to do with anything that I grab the buff that yields less gold at the end

[floral ledge]

You seem to imply I'm replaying the heat level I was playing before

I'm always bumping heat up on clear

[hard pawn]

you said ~5

[floral ledge]

yes I did

[hard pawn]

So I assumed u stopped at that lol

[floral ledge]

I started like 1 or 2 weeks ago

[hard pawn]

Hades or this blood grind

[floral ledge]

Hades

bought the game during the sale

[hard pawn]

cool but hows that related

[floral ledge]

Well I'm doing ~5 because I play all weapons and managed to get them all there

[hard pawn]

Great

Whats your average clear time

Since you use all weapons ig

[floral ledge]

how may I know

[hard pawn]

The clear screen has your PBs

[floral ledge]

I guess around 30 minutes

[hard pawn]

And I am pretty sure u can see them in the house in the shade's office

30 minutes can be cut down by half if you use shops

[floral ledge]

I spend a lot of time idling when I tab out to google stuff

[hard pawn]

That pasues the timer

Pauses*

[floral ledge]

oh i see

[thorn marsh]

shopu

doesnt pause the timer

[hard pawn]

Tabbing out

[thorn marsh]

o h

[hard pawn]

Lol

Anyway you can cut down from 30 minutes by A LOT if you use shops early game to get good duo boons or limitting god keepsakes to a minimum

You'll be getting sub 20 and sub 15s quite easily with practice

[thorn marsh]

sub 10 enters the scene

[hard pawn]

Lol

Managed to max nemmy today and will try to get 32 w it done

I want to do 32 w each weapon just for the clear screen aesthetic lol then once 50 achilles is done move them all to 40

[mellow vale]

Thank you! ❤️

[river vigil]

bruh lmao

[thorn marsh]

sub 9 slowly follows

[hard pawn]

Oh local hera player of the bow, is hera like achilles

👀

[thorn marsh]

wdym?

ur asking me about my 2 favorite weapons here

[hard pawn]

Cast wise is it similar to running achilles or smth more like beo

[thorn marsh]

uh

hera is just a worse beo

[hard pawn]

Ok pog

[river vigil]

beo but with range

[thorn marsh]

@river vigil U FORGOT ABOUT CHARGED SHOT P

[hard pawn]

So no latch casts gud or latch casts gud

[river vigil]

OH YEAH

[thorn marsh]

latch casts gud

[river vigil]

latch casts gud

[hard pawn]

So not like achilles

[raw herald]

Hera good Beowulf good

[river vigil]

achilles relies on you doing your special first to get the bonus damage

[hard pawn]

Yes beo gud

Gonna do 32 beo after nemym

[river vigil]

for hera you just get loaded

[hard pawn]

I am achilles main ik lol

[river vigil]

gl with nem

[thorn marsh]

local achilles player meets local achilles and HERA player?

[raw herald]

I kinda play every aspect

To a decent level

[thorn marsh]

[hard pawn]

lol

Flex

[thorn marsh]

i just cannot play fists

i got my 9:02 on them and just never touched them again LOL

[hard pawn]

I tried speedrun yesterday on achilles got 11:something and got bored

[raw herald]

I can't play Hades spear, Lucifer, Arthur or talos

[hard pawn]

Heat is more fun than speedrunnin for me

I wonder if i should do 45 before 50

[raw herald]

Heat is less RNG reliant, although it still plays a huge factor

[raw herald]

Definitely yes

I did 45 before 50, and that jump allowed me to beat 50 without much issue

[hard pawn]

I'll try it

[raw herald]

At 45 you can avoid RI

[hard pawn]

I kinda wanna take on RI as practice for no EM4 50

But achilles without roles

[raw herald]

What weapon?

Ah

[hard pawn]

Rolls&

Is too rng based

For my time

[raw herald]

Achilles is probably tough for 50 heat

[thorn marsh]

achilles without rolls is just a c o p e

[raw herald]

I'd do Hestia or beowulf

[hard pawn]

I got to styx with achilles the other day

[thorn marsh]

are u flurry resetting?

[hard pawn]

Serrated and flurry ye

I am fine w either

[raw herald]

So not doing a cast build then

[hard pawn]

Achilles hammers are the same whether its cast or not

[raw herald]

Hestia is great because there are 4 attack boons that are solid, so AP2 isn't that bad

[hard pawn]

U still flurry over serrated

And serrated if no flurry for cast or no cast

[raw herald]

I'm always flurry over serrated

[hard pawn]

Its objectively better yeah

Lol

[raw herald]

Safer, more damage

[hard pawn]

Anyway

[raw herald]

What more could you want

[thorn marsh]

flurry is just better

[hard pawn]

I wont be using another weapon

Because my purpose is not doing 50 heat its doing 50 heat with achilles

[raw herald]

Fair enough

[hard pawn]

Or else I would just run beo or rama

And make my life a lot easier lol

[raw herald]

I think I've only beaten 40+ with about 3 aspects

[thorn marsh]

ok something really random

achilles looks like two bananas at its tip

aka its a banana spear

[hard pawn]

I think its supposed to be a harp without strings

[thorn marsh]

definitely intended to look a banana

its curved seraph CURVED

[hard pawn]

I'm in denial

I wish transmog existed lol I think hades spear is prettier

[river vigil]

if only hades aspect spin damage is bigger i would do a true dad spin build with it

[thorn marsh]

u could reset for massive spin

[hard pawn]

I mean with massive spin is really big dude

Like really really big

I wanna learn it too after watching tail use it

[river vigil]

might use it once in a while

[floral ledge]

the hell I just got 20% off charon's shop

IYKWIM

maybe it wasn't such a bad idea

[hard pawn]

And a fun boss fight

[floral ledge]

yeah I never had this event

first shop I get it

GG

@hard pawn this is as fast as I can humanly go right now

with shops and skipping as much as I can

https://i.imgur.com/cHH2iEK.jpeg

I swear I can't do it faster at this moment

hands and brain say this is it

[hard pawn]

Maybe zag bow isn't for you

Rama is very strong

You could use that instead

Also bow is not a very fast weapon neither is rama

If you want to be quick the likes of shield, rail and spear woukd work better

[floral ledge]

i tried to hit artemis + aphro combo, but since I have the boon reroll thing instead of room reroll I had to pick ares and poseidon without alternatives

[hard pawn]

I've never used zag bow before. I assume it is similar to rama tho in terms of build

So maybe focus less on cast

[floral ledge]

all it has is default 15% crit

[high island]

Hera is very fast with a good build, and very consistent at that.

[floral ledge]

so it's kinda asking for artemis

[high island]

Zag Bow is just spam Dash-Strike Power Shots if you want speed.

[hard pawn]

So like rama

[high island]

Not quite. Rama would start Thunder Flourish for Tartarus.

[hard pawn]

I thought that was bad for rama

I remembr haelian saying it had a cooldown for lightning strikes no?

Or did that get changed since then

[high island]

Deadly Strike + Passion Dash for Heart Rend, get any Strike and Lunge you can from Master Chaos. Get Hunter's Mark and put poms on it.

Twin, Triple, and Flurry Shot are all amazing. Perfect Shots is great, too.

Thunder Flourish has a cooldown, yes. It still shreds Tartarus, though.

[floral ledge]

that's what I did, it was boring and dull, and I would rather use more than space click from time to time and quicktime release the button at the right spot. Gotta say I ended up with explosive twin shot, so I basically had the Doom shotgun hittin for 1500 each time

[orchid elm]

nice

[floral ledge]

pity I didn't have artemis dash or the power shot enhancer, I wanted to see how far I could push that

but in any case, I believe I prefer other bows. Won't know for now though, because I don't have enough blood

[high island]

Zag Bow is decent for practicing bow fundamentals. But once you can actually consistently time every Power Shot, it's pretty bland.

My arm tires out really fast playing Zag Bow.

[orchid elm]

Question: why are hermes boons different than all of the other gods? he has no duo boons, no call, no cast...

was he added later in the game?

[high island]

No core boons, either.

[floral ledge]

I believe hermes is there to provide unique boons

[orchid elm]

idk what a core boon is yet but sure, those neither

[floral ledge]

all related with moving, dashing and dodging

or doing stuff faster in general

it's like the hammer

[orchid elm]

Yes of course, but you'd think there'd be a call to make you run really fast or something...

[floral ledge]

doesn't follow in line with the rest of your kit

[high island]

I dunno, I guess that's what made the most sense to the devs.

[orchid elm]

Dont get me wrong, i really like most of the boons he has

[floral ledge]

IMO it would be great if he had legendary core boons as something unique, meaning you can't get standard versions of them but something like attacking the same target grants stacks of attack speed.

[high island]

He has Second Wind, which activates when you use your Call.

[orchid elm]

+X dash, move speed, hold to rapid cast, those are all super nice

[floral ledge]

but IDK I feel like the game is decent as it is right now

[orchid elm]

Yeah i agree. I just found it a bit weird

[floral ledge]

I wouldn't want hermes to change, but I would really like expansions with more gods that you can toggle on/off, where you get a new character and unlock a new aspect for them

[hard pawn]

There probably won't be an expansion

[orchid elm]

idk, i think the game is good as-is, no need for more

[floral ledge]

and maybe new gods, like Helios that makes your attacks blind enemies making them slower

[hard pawn]

Chill exists

[floral ledge]

and the call would be a sun beam that chases enemies

ah true

well something else maybe, IDK

[hard pawn]

I believe no super giant game has ever received expansion dlc content

[floral ledge]

I would really appreciate an optional expansion with a little more content as long as it makes sense

yeah but no supergiant game has been a roguelite either

[hard pawn]

And that they didn't directly say no dlc but its for the best we have our expectations to be that there won't be one

[floral ledge]

Bastion and Transistor at least were all about the story, the only replayability was ng+ IIRC, and there wasn't much to do aside from that

[hard pawn]

I wouldn't know

[floral ledge]

don't get me wrong, I don't expect DLC, nor do I demand it. The game is fine as-is, but I find it so much fun I would really enjoy DLC

[hard pawn]

One can hope

[floral ledge]

so, if I already got the god I want on tartarus, should I still grab their keepsake for asphodel?

at this point I could go either sigil to push it to 3, or I guess grab butterfly for the reminder of the run?

I'm running nemesis and already got aphro and artemis

[high island]

and get Heart Rend.

[hard pawn]

Butterfly not good

Sigil is good for time

I generally tend to do tart and asph as god keepsakes

Ans then acorn or tooth for the remainder depending on the heat

With acorn you could just melt down normal theseus fight in like 10 seconds

W no health lost

[midnight mesa]

hey guys i have a doubt, i want buy hades but i dont know if i wait for a promo or just buy now

[floral ledge]

discounts are minimal, so if you want it I suggest you get it now

unless you really mind like 5 euros

[void vigil]

it was on a 30% discount during the summer sale, and the next big steam sale is the halloween sale i think which is in about 15 weeks

[midnight mesa]

5 euros for me is 25 real btw

[void vigil]

but its a game you can get many hours out of, i personally have 365 hours on it just on steam

[glossy remnant]

Eh

Just spent 5 diamonds. What the dog gate doing?

[mint coral]

Erebus gates?
No hit rooms and the reward is better than a normal one (hearts are +50hp, boons have better rarity, etc)

Get hit and you get an onion

Also they need 5, 10 and 15 heat depending on biome

[glossy remnant]

yee thx

[chrome yoke]

Wait, how do i get more than like 5 diamonds? (asphodel with every weapon)

excluding trading

[hard pawn]

Every 1 unit of heat for every weapon resets boss rewards until 20 heat

[chrome yoke]

so.. thats 20 diamonds? for each weapon or not?

[mint coral]

Yup, also sometimes charon shop in styx has a diamond
And some prophecies

[chrome yoke]

so.. 100 diamonds? + prophecies + charon

[teal isle]

So a friend of mine recently started playing Hades, and he got up to the surface.

He lost to Hades,but he was like "oh my God I was so close I got him down to five hit points! I almost won!"

and I didn't have the heart to tell him that was just the first phase.

[hard pawn]

120 + trade + styx

• prophecy

Yep

[shadow kernel]

I beat the game with only dashes

But I didn’t get wave pounding or extra dashes from Hermes so dad was pain

[chrome yoke]

😔 on my first ever hades attempt i got him down to half HP on the second phase

[chrome yoke]

thats amazing, dont even know what im gonna do with 120 diamonds

[shadow kernel]

Buy epic songs

[high island]

21 because 0 Heat also gives bounties.

[chrome yoke]

Of course, 126 diamonds total

[chrome yoke]

True true

[hard pawn]

Songs

[chrome yoke]

Yeah someone already said that

[high island]

You also get Diamonds for some prophecies.

[dense mist]

https://imgur.com/a/SD1tAfh | It appears that the spears stayed because he was killed right after he threw it

[modern garnet]

Oh yeah I've seen that happen

He's gonna have to go all the way back to the arena to get it back, how embarrassing

[dense mist]

i would love to take it with me

looks so nice

[hard pawn]

Hey folks - I haven't checked in for a bit but I'm curious if there's been any info on what SGG is tackling next? I know they took a break to reorient themselves, but was dlc mentioned after or working on something new?

[void vigil]

just what is in the faq, nothing new

[midnight mesa]

hey guys

spear or shield?

[high island]

Yes.

[midnight mesa]

ok

[dense mist]

is there a way to take no blessings at all?

like all 3 options replace crucial elements of my kit

[high island]

No.

If you have Fated Persuasion, you can reroll.

[dense mist]

well sadly not but one was okay to give away i guess

[high island]

Was it Lady Artemis who offered the three exchanges?

[dense mist]

No aphrodite

So now to hades with zero revives, no life steal and half hp

I am so obsessed

With that song

[high island]

I see. Well, in that case, you should be grateful. Lady Aphrodite's boons are the bestest.

Lady Artemis has a very small tier-1 boon pool, so if you have all your core boons filled and none are from her, you're very likely to see a lot of exchanges from her.

I dont like aphrodite anymore

Damage reduction is not that beneficial to me

[high island]

Best status curse in the game.

She has the highest % damage, too, and the highest base damage Cast that lodges.

[chrome yoke]

Hm

Talking about lasting status effects, yes

But for curses boons can afflict its probably doom

[high island]

Doom does damage and nothing else. Any boon that applies Weak also does a lot of damage.

Anyway, Weak and Life Affirmation alone can carry high heat runs.

You have the damage and all the eHP you could need.

[chrome yoke]

Whats life affirmatiom?

[signal aspen]

Aphro boon that makes room rewards give more hp

[chrome yoke]

Oh yeah i got that once

It was cool

My favorite boon is probably the one that makes fountains restore full health because of styx

[high island]

There's no healing at high heat except from Stubborn Defiance and from any max HP rewards you pick up.

So, Strong Drink loses a lot of value.
