No.

i think

chrome yoke
#

I like how we can see hades judge the shades now

stuck sentinel
#

i dont remember fully

#

Something like that. You'll need more dialogue.

kiwi. Listen. To. Unseen. Ones. crazyeyes

stuck sentinel
#

oh

stuck sentinel
#

yeah

#

thats gonna take a while

high island
#

You've reached the ending. An epilogue comes after the ending.

chrome yoke
#

ah..

dense mist
chrome yoke
#

Well then

#

how does one unlock the epilogue

dense mist

#

uh

#

yeah kinda

chrome yoke
#

Ohhh.. so the epilogue has to do with Olympus

#

hmm yes

high island
#

How to get the epilogue should be pretty obvious soon.

stuck sentinel
#

persephone gives you a prompt

#

and a prophecy

chrome yoke
#

Ok! I shall beat the game with every aspect first now however

#

Ima try a zeus run. Now that i've done the ending i wanna have some fun

high island
#

Yeah, epilogue is gonna take awhile anyway, so no rush.

chrome yoke
#

I'm gonna need so much Nectar

high island
#

I have 76 clears in my hell mode save now and no epilogue yet.

stuck sentinel
#

i think i got it around 55 clears

chrome yoke
#

understandable considering you can only give 1 nectar to every god each attempt, and you also have to grind the nectar

stuck sentinel
#

also the favors

#

and me not knowing what to do for a while lol

chrome yoke
#

i can also use keys for nectar

stuck sentinel
#

epilogue spoilers || The epilogue was fun, but I kind of wish that the feast scene was an actual location/event thing where we could have interacted with gods at the feast, and actually walked around and talked to them. The whole thing afterwards was just everyone talking about what happened at the feast, but i wish we could've actually been there, and heard some of the dialogue that they were talking about afterwards. It was still nice and worked as a a nice wrap up to the story, but extending out the feast scene a bit more would have been cool . Obviously I know that making 8 new olympian model and all that would have been a pain, but it would have been awesome if they did that.||

chrome yoke
#

Im not getting the achievement for every keepsake for some reason

#

i have them all now

stuck sentinel
#

signal aspen
#

I wish Switch had achievements sniff

chrome yoke
#

Ive started to really grow fond of Zeus and Poseidon boons

#

Do rooms in Styx count for upgrading boons

#

with encounters

stuck sentinel
#

like with demeter rare crop?

#

pretty sure yes

#

or with mom pom

#

i think only the end rooms count for butterfly or lambient plume however

signal aspen
#

yeah

chrome yoke
#

No

#

I mean

#

do the rooms count for

#

UPGRADING the keepsakes

#

i got confused

Wow then its easy upgrades

ah

#

POG i got the Nyx dialogue for Orpheus' favir

#

stuck sentinel
#

Ah

#

This is where the fun is gonna start

chrome yoke
#

Im not good enough for EM4 yet

shadow kernel
#

Some builds kinda trivialise EM4 tbh

#

With a good Hera build or cluster rockets on eris you can kill dad quicker than he kills you

chrome yoke
#

How does one play bow

#

i need to learn it for the prophecy

raw herald
#

Dash strike a ton, and learn power shot timing

#

Best hammers are twin and triple shot, with point blank/perfect/flurry/explosive being good second hammers

shadow kernel
#

Why is Demeter better than Gilgamesh for merciful end builds? Surely the extra dashes on Gilgamesh makes it so that you can hit merciful end more times?

bright jasper
#

Once you get ME, all the aspects play pretty similarly - you're really playing ME rather than the aspect at that point.

shadow kernel
#

But usually ME is run with divine dash and Gilgamesh gets to use that more times

bright jasper
#

But yes, Gilgamesh does come with extra dashes built in for an easier ME at that point.

#

Sure, that's true.

#

But you move forward with damage and Demeter can output way more damage more safely (and more flexibly) than Gilgamesh can. Until you have ME, Divine Dash isn't exactly putting out tons of damage

shadow kernel
#

Divine dash is there to proc ME tho

bright jasper
#

I don't think anyone is saying Gilgamesh is bad at ME, or at getting to the end.

#

Sure, yes, I'm not disagreeing.

#

My point, and I think the general idea, is that Demeter is safer/stronger when you don't have ME.

shadow kernel
#

Fair enough

bright jasper
#

Once you have ME, then sure. But ME is slow to get. It isn't uncommon for ME to not come together until late Elysium or even Styx.

raw herald
#

Gilgamesh's dashes are slow and can't be spammed, which results in fewer ME procs when compared to Demeter

chrome yoke
#

I just gave nectar to bouldy

#

why did i do that

chrome wharf
#

to believe in him, so that he believes in you

chrome yoke
#

What

thorn marsh
chrome wharf
#

check your boons

chrome yoke
#

cant rn

raw herald
#

Gifting bouldy makes your whole run better, it's like a blessing

chrome yoke
#

just closed the game

#

what does bouldy do

thorn marsh
#

if u dont gift bouldy i dont know what to say

chrome wharf
#

check them next time

chrome yoke
#

no tell me now

thorn marsh
#

bouldy is love and bouldy is damn sure life

chrome wharf
#

it's literally what I said

raw herald
chrome wharf
#

he now believes in you

thorn marsh
#

bouldy can give some really good buffs

#

for example 10% cast damage on beowulf/hera

#

4% attack damage is p nice

#

and plus bouldy believe in u and why wouldnt u want that?

stuck sentinel
#

bouldy is great

Just in case I've somehow missed it, there isn't any screen for achievements on the Nintendo switch is there?

Nope, sadly not

how do you use guan yu properly? i maxed it so the health reduction isn't that bad, but the spin attack seems really clunky and slow, and the normal attack is really weak. any tips?

glossy elm
#

Touch of styx is the last thing I need to have bought everything in Charons shop for the 150 gems, but the problem is having to use stubborn defiance to get it which really terrifies me to use, because it sucks for bosses. I'm at a 27 win streak right now which I'm really proud of, and im scared ima lose it x-x

brisk trail
#

You’ll be fine

#

And also why not use DD?

#

Once you max it out it’s pretty good

mint coral
#

touch of styx only appears with sd

glossy elm
#

Sadly so

brisk trail
#

Ah forgot that

#

Hm

#

And getting it from pat doesn’t work?

river vigil
#

no it has tp be charon

brisk trail
#

Hm

mint coral
#

save your rerolls for the charon well ig

brisk trail

signal aspen
#

In asphodel you should switch to Athena's keepsake and take her attack, special, cast, or dash to unlock her DD boons. Then the next time you find her boon lose your sd so you have a chance at getting another DD

Oh good idea, ill try that

I really like the bow now

used to hate it

Gonna try and do 32 heat zeus sheild

Died to lernie in my last attempt

glossy remnant
#

heh

#

Best aspects for all weapons?

chrome yoke
#

i cant even beat Asphodel with zag bow

#

Havent unlocked other aspects for it yet

glossy remnant
#

I don't have anything unlocked for sword, Shield, fist and gun

brisk trail
#

aspects depend on if you want speed or heat

chrome yoke
#

I have maxed out Achilles Spear

glossy remnant
#

Best aspects for sword?

chrome yoke
#

The hidden aspect

glossy remnant
#

:c

brisk trail
#

nemesis is better for speed I think

chrome yoke
#

The others are meh, i like zag sword most

brisk trail
#

but yeah hidden one is like rly good

glossy remnant
#

I don't like nemesis

chrome yoke
#

hidden requires you to max every other aspect right

brisk trail
#

poseidon is good if you like cast

#

ok then you dont like sword

glossy remnant
#

just maxed out Zag xD

chrome yoke
#

Also what does hidden spear do

brisk trail
#

it changes your moveset, try it out

chrome yoke
glossy remnant
#

Like?

chrome yoke
chrome yoke
#

Nemesis sword even

brisk trail
#

wait

glossy remnant
#

I did unlock all aspects of the Spear, because I like it. And one for Bow, because Chiron sounded OP, and it is.

brisk trail
#

you need hidden spear to unlock the other hidden aspects in the first place

#

how do you have other ones before the spear

chrome yoke
#

I dont have ANY hiddens

glossy remnant
brisk trail
#

why did you talk about like you played them

#

eh whatever

chrome yoke
#

i wanna know what hidden spear is like though

chrome yoke
brisk trail
#

you need hidden spear to unlock everything else

#

It’s like the spear only hidden

#

so unlock it anyway

chrome yoke
#

Just tell me what it does lmao

brisk trail
#

It does all the stuff

#

right there was some confusion because the chat was a bit all over the place

#

it changes your spin into a hunting blade like thing, makes your special bigger and piercing and makes your attacks slower and hit harder

chrome yoke
#

Oooooh

#

Hunting blades is my main

brisk trail
#

next time just look up what they do

raw herald
#

Basically all hidden aspects apart from the rail make your attacks slower but hit harder

brisk trail
#

thats exactly what luci does too though

raw herald
#

Lucifer attacks faster though

brisk trail
#

im pretty sure it has slower atk startup

raw herald
#

Fair, but the attack cooldown is lower and the special bombs land quicker

#

Also all hidden aspects have some kind of downside, which may or may not make it worth using

brisk trail
#

they do? other than being slower

high island
#

Not all, no.

#

Half.

glossy remnant
#

I came here asking what best aspects are

#

Meaning what I should unlock and max out

high island
#

Probably got something mixed up.

#

But like Toffel said, "best" depends on how you define best. Easy, fast, etc.

#

Eris, Hestia, and Beowulf are probably the best all around good aspects.

brisk trail
#

I was refering to bird the whole time dont worry about it

chrome yoke
#

i only talked about the sword hidden aspect

#

because i know what it does

#

also ayyy

polar root
#

dayum breh

chrome yoke
#

FINALLY

#

Thanatos dialogue rng go brrr

high island
raw herald
#

Less damage than epic heartbreak level 1, eek

chrome yoke
#

lmao

high island
#

That boon might have the single worst rarity and pom scaling in the game. courte5Ohno

chrome yoke
#

i like the knocking away effect

raw herald
#

Tidal dash knocks back better, and it actually scales well with poms

#

So you can do more damage with your attack with another boon

high island
#

It's fun. But it does the same damage at Lv.1 common lol.

#

Pretty much.

#

(None.)

chrome yoke
#

For example Heroic LV 1 Athena attack boon does like 126% damage

raw herald
#

It's 2.3-2.5× 40% I think

#

So 92-100%

#

Same as epic heartbreak strike

high island
#

Passion Dash and Tidal Dash poms are so good.

raw herald
#

And phalanx shot

chrome yoke
#

POG i can release Orpheus from his contract now

#

that'll be another favor done

#

so this run i basically unlocked Than and Orpheus & Eurydice

high island
#

Any Cast poms are amazing.

chrome yoke
#

Need 3 more diamonds though,, ugh

#

Is companion mort good?

raw herald
#

Does a lot of damage, but takes a while to activate

polar root
#

its the scary circle of doom

#

doesnt DO doom but looks cool

chrome yoke
raw herald
#

All companions are good at bosses apart from dusa and skelly, but companion battie is generally used because it activates quickly

high island
#

Well, Mort isn't gonna be your speedrun pick over Battie, but he can do more damage in fights that give you trouble. Might take a bit of practice or figuring out good strategies for how to use him to hit your targets reliably.

Why, if i may ask, are you making promotional material for the game?

I'm looking for a few things

Mainly a mod that just allows me to give myself whatever boons I want (to test interactions) and a dps counter

ellomenop has a DPS meter.

stable glen
#

If you have it, please send

dusky wedge
stable glen
#

I have no idea how to get started with mods for this game as its not a steam workshop thing

dusky wedge
#

I’m no content creator

#

By promo-material, I mean as how promotional trailers and artworks of the game by SGG shows how Zagreus is

#

For example, Zagreus is almost always wielding Stygian Blade Zag aspect

#

That sword has become iconic

chrome yoke
#

lmao his neck dissapeared

cedar nexus

Lol

stable glen
#

Oh my lord

#

I tried installing mods and yeah

#

I think I'll pass

#

file directory stuff always confuses the crap outta me

#

what is a zip archive

chrome yoke
#

An archive

#

of zipped files

#

But for real

#

you'll need a program called 7zip

#

How do i modify the victory screen thingy

#

yknow that

stable glen
#

and every non theme item in work orders

#

which includes favors for nyx, orpheus, achillies, and sisyphus

Max and from 6 Olympian gods (Demeter counts as max for this at the heart lock)

#

@chrome yoke

chrome yoke
#

So i have to max 6 olympian gods?

#

and demeter counts at the first heart lock

#

okay, understood, thanks, i'll focus on 6 gods then

granite ether
#

no worries friendly

chrome yoke
#

Saves me from the trouble of gifting all 8 gods ahah shadesmile

dusky wedge
#

I remembered my habitual mistake earlier in the game is that I always instantly press R to bring up the god’s boons selection screen, instead of giving them nectar first

#

My epilogue progress goes way slower than it should be lol

#

Just finished a run with Smoldering Air, it is pretty underrated, spamming Zeus calls works with much supports from the Zeus boons

chrome yoke

Intented to gift Ares but nope

How many hearts total do all the gods have

8?

7 for everyone else except hermes iirc

also that its epicuu

Athena is pog

#

i love the dash deflect

polar root
#

youll learn how broken tidal dash is soon

#

i started always picking tidal dash after eris runs

#

but if its high heat, athena dash is better i think

raw herald
#

At the highest heat, any dash will do

thorn marsh
#

at high heat ur lucky u get a dash

raw herald
#

Drunken dash in Styx moment

polar root
#

ah approval process

polar root
thorn marsh
#

at high heat all u want is any type of athena core boon

so u can get dd's from her later

i never want to do high heat again

I think patty is more important than DDs with AP tbh

Patty and 2-sack

2 sack

what was the last time?

Can i use a companion only once per run?

Hades Wiki

Weapons are your main mode of attack. Initially, you only have the Stygian Blade available, but additional weapons can be unlocked by spending Chthonic Keys in the Arsenal Room. Unlocking all the weapons requires a total of 24 Chthonic Keys. They can be upgraded during a run with a Daedalus Hammer.

There are titan blood requirements

#

this might be a stupid question....

but apparently we get "something good" everytime we die, would it make sense to die 50x in a row in the first chamber, or after a while the game stop giving me things everytime I die? 🤔 lol

chrome yoke
#

Wdym we get something good everytime we die

stuck sentinel
#

are you talking about god mode?

solid pulsar
#

huh... I have ~25 escape attemps and I dont have a clear run yet, so I meant in the early game... like... apparently everytime I die, I unlock something after talking to NPCs

chrome wharf
#

where are you reading this from? I think the gist is that there are certain resources you pick up during a run that don't go away after you die, so you accumulate resources that you can spend on buffing yourself

#

and also story progression, especially in early game

stuck sentinel
#

yeah, you might get a bit of dialogue doing that but no actual rewards from just dying at spawn

chrome wharf
#

dying lots in the first chamber only "works" on god mode, since you do get buffed after every death up to a certain point, no other strings attached

#

but since you're on hell mode that's a moot point

solid pulsar
#

I meant for instance.. that NPC that upgrades the buildings, he only appeared to me after I died 7-8 times, idk... if I had died on the first chamber 7-8 times, he would have appeared earlier I guess

stuck sentinel
#

eh? i started a fresh file and he came after like 3 attempts i believe

solid pulsar
#

hence why I was thinking (wrongly, apparently) that dying often would unlock faster more stuff like new NPCs or new mechcanics to unlock

stuck sentinel
#

by the 10th attempt i believe all the mechanics you get from a certain number of escapes have appeared

It's better to not try to force things

there's gotta be something I'm misunderstanding about companions. Mine never works against Hades even when I dont use it at all during the run

stuck sentinel
#

certain companions do not work against hades at first

#

basically, if it isnt ||skellies or bouldy|| then it will not work at first

#

because they are afraid to fight dad

idle wind
#

Meg in this case. ||3 star. Do I just need to level it to 5?||

stuck sentinel
#

eventually he gives you special permission to use them against him

#

meg requires special permission to use against him

manic bobcat
# idle wind Meg in this case. ||3 star. Do I just need to level it to 5?||

No. 5 star doesn't affect whether or not you can use it against Hades.
There is a late game unlock that allows you to do so however.
Sisyphus and Skelly's work as normal however.
The reasoning is that the people who gave you the companion don't want to fight their boss for obvious reason. But neither Sisyphus nor Skelly works for Hades so it's cool.

Dude one shotting boss phases with mirage shot trippy flare Hera is so satisfying

stable glen
#

Alright so I've been playing a bit of modded

#

and to test boon interactions out

#

And I found something really interesting

#

when I'm using a heroic phalanx and parting shot on skelly

#

my cast deals 774 when I attack from in front of him

#

but 429 from behind

#

with other cast boons

#

it works normally

thorn marsh
#

phalanx is w i d e so it can backstab from the front iirc

stable glen
#

This seems like a fun build

#

I tried crush shot hera yesterday

#

and it was awesome

#

but phalanx has a higher base

thick lotus
#

have channel of spanish?

stable glen
#

Are there regional servers?

thorn marsh
#

the problem with phalanx

thick lotus
#

How do I get roles?

thorn marsh
#

is the casts go supa speed

#

so if u overcast it just zooms into the netherland

Hera also makes a really nice sound, which is a plus

You should tell a mod

#

stygian or infernal?

leaden shore

#

i used infernal cause i didnt know stygian was a thing at the time

short gate
#

did you click the link, bud?

leaden shore
#

yeah i'm stupid, sorry

short gate
#

it's fine, who did you get the link from

stable glen
#

AH HAH!

#

my theory was correct

#

Sea storm DOES proc splitting bolt

#

and then second wave also procs sea storm which also procs splitting bolt

#

and double strike works for both splitting bolt and sea storm

#

So what ends up happening

#

is that if you use any knock away boons

#

you get 40 damage (base) 4 times

#

could be even more with double strike

thorn marsh
#

second wave doesnt proc sea storm

#

second wave does 0 damage and therefore cant proc it because the knockback needs to do damage

raw herald
#

But sea storm does proc splitting

thorn marsh
#

therefore second wave doesnt proc sea storm

stable glen
#

I'm sure it does, I just tested it

thorn marsh
#

it doesnt

#

ive asked

#

a dozen times

#

second wave doesnt proc sea storm

stable glen
#

It dealt 44 damage two times at once, then skelly got knocked away again and it did 44 twice again

#

so 44 x 4

#

unless something else is causing it

#

idk how to record my gameplay tho

#

oh wait I might know

raw herald
#

Yep, cgull looks at the game code all the time, and every time I've asked him, he says that second wave doesn't proc sea storm

thorn marsh
#

i asked cgull once like two days ago

#

got the same answer

#

second wave does indeed not proc sea storm

raw herald
#

It's a shame, it would give it some use

stable glen
#

But it does tho, I see it on my screen, unless something else is causing it

#

Hold up

#

let me try to record it

#

there might be something else going on, you guys can judge it for yourselves

signal aspen
#

The knockback has to deal damage to proc seastorm and second wave doesn't deal any damage

#

So it shouldn't proc seastorm

thorn marsh
#

i seriously doubt cgull has been wrong this many times about second wave proccing sea storm

stable glen
#

I don't want to doubt him either

#

but I see it happening

is there a good list of "what aspects to focus on first" for each weapon? Only ~45ish hours in trying to decide where to pour TBs to increase heat to farm more TBs :x

uh

hera over chiron?

thorn marsh
#

hera over chiron yeah

#

what rmac gave u was all the fastest aspects for each weapon

#

not necessarily the funnest

paper harness
#

ah

thorn marsh
#

but hera is really fun so i still think hera over chiron

paper harness
#

does fastest align with, most consistent too?

thorn marsh
paper harness
#

if say, i am slightly bad :p

thorn marsh

eris is really consistent

#

same as hera

#

#

sword itself is a toss up imo

i'm awful with sword and spear in general, i've found

#

achilles is consistent as long as u get flurry jab

as you have to be close up

The boon showcase is at the end

#

forgot to do in the begining

#

There

#

second wave procs sea storm i guess

stable glen
#

And now we know

signal aspen
#

Bruh

raw herald
#

Codex mod has been known to be inconsistent

#

But who knows

stable glen
#

I think it's because it never requires you to deal knock away damage just "knockaway effects"

thorn marsh
#

see

#

the problem is that second wave does 0 damage

#

so it shouldnt proc sea storm because the knockback needs to do damage

stable glen
raw herald
#

Idk if I should ping cgull lmao

stable glen
#

It's described as "effects"

high island
#

Codex mod boon interactions can be very buggy and not interact like normal.

thorn marsh
#

second wave itself does no damage

#

well cgull is in idle status

stable glen
#

I've had it only once in game

thorn marsh
#

ping him when hes online or dm him

stable glen
#

and it did work

#

second wave and sea storm with tidal dash

#

no splitting bolt

high island
#

I mean just ping him if you have a question, and he'll get around to it when he has the time lol.

raw herald
#

Coordinate who's gonna do it, we don't want him to get 4 questions at once lol

thorn marsh
#

i got it

#

@night rampart pls help we are all confused

#

the bird has been pinged

stable glen
#

I'm not sure if this was ever changed

#

it probably has

#

so I'm not going to treat this as very reliable

#

but a reddit post from 2 years ago says the same applied for them

#

Here is some in game footage from march as well, if you slow it down

#

you can see when he dashes it deals 65 damage twice

#

and then after a shot delaye

#

it deals 65 twice again

thorn marsh
#

wait

stable glen
#

he has second wave, sea storm, and splitting bolt

#

the bigger zeus damage numbers are his call and jolt I think, but the 65 is what matters

thorn marsh
#

sea storm is 40 damage

#

where are we getting 65?

raw herald
#

Global damage probably

thorn marsh
#

what does global damage?

raw herald
#

It all adds up by the time you get to hades

thorn marsh
#

but in courtyard they are doing 44 each

#

where are we getting 4 extra damage

raw herald
stable glen
#

Could be priveleaged status

#

or fam favorite

#

in the test I showed

high island
#

Pretty sure that the knockback just needs to have a minimum force to proc Sea Storm.

stable glen
#

I had fam favorite

stable glen
#

it just needs to be a "knock away effect"

high island
#

I didn't say damage.

night rampart
thorn marsh
#

CGULL HAS ANSWERED

stable glen
#

and second wave also describes it as "bonus knock away effects"

signal aspen
#

Epic

raw herald
#

Codex mod being codex mod afterall

thorn marsh
#

so codex mod just being a codex mod

signal aspen
#

Codex mod is indeed being codex mod

stable glen
#

I mean, the video I sent with em 4 hades, you can see it being procced again

#

and it's after a delay and not stacking

#

so it rules out double strike

#

so if something is causing it for me, it must be happening there as well, i slowed it down

#

If you play it at 0.5 speed and skip to 0:29

#

it's clear there

high island
#

so if something is causing it for me
It's not evidence of anything because the mod is buggy and unreliable.

stable glen
#

he dashes into hades, hades takes 65 in two instances

#

and then when hades moves

#

he takes 65 twice again

#

but zag didn't dash into him

thorn marsh
#

razor shoals?

high island
#

Test it in an actual run.

stable glen

stable glen

Skip to 0:29 and 0.5 speed

#

He dashed into hades

#

but hades took zeus damage again

#

when he dashed into the soul catcher

#

and double strike stacks

high island
#

If you're right, it should be easy to recreate in a run.

stable glen
#

I want to believe you guys that the mod is buggy, but something is happening in the EM4 footage as well
