Nemesis aspect is very good

stable glen
#

Nemesis is goated

#

been running that for a while

cedar nexus
#

You can get 500 dmg hits in tartarus

raw herald
#

Nemesis is only the 3rd fastest sword shadegrief

inner geyser
#

I really don’t like Poseidon at all

#

I’d rather just use Zagreus

stable glen
#

I hate arthur

inner geyser
#

Arthur is my fav

stable glen
#

nothing but nemesis

raw herald
#

Poseidon is actually the quickest for some reason. Zagreus is the slowest right now

cedar nexus
inner geyser
#

I like keeping my cast in enemies for boiling blood yea

stable glen
#

that's the only time I cast in non cast builds

raw herald
#

Casting enemies is a really beneficial thing to get used to.

stable glen
#

bosses or mini bosses

inner geyser
#

But Poseidon just gets rid of it so I have to cast again

#

Honestly I can use anything as long as I have divine dash tho lol

stable glen
#

Poseidon is good with smthn like artemis cast, hunter's mark, exit wounds, and flurry cast

#

I really like zeus sheild, one of my favorite weapons

raw herald
#

Lightning phalanx on Poseidon is my favourite, mirage shot is a plus as well

stable glen
#

pretty much anything works with it

inner geyser
#

Beowulf shield is my main weapon

#

Followed by Chaos

stable glen
#

I just tried beowulf, good damage but not into it

#

too slow

raw herald
#

I probably main Hestia if anything, but I have the most attempts with Eris

inner geyser
#

Must be why you don’t like Arthur either

raw herald
#

I'm decent with all aspects

cedar nexus
#

My favorite is nemesis rn

#

Rama maybe

#

But it's slow

stuck sentinel
#

tbh i think rn i like beo, chaos or rama best

signal aspen
#

zeus is my favorite weapon

#

beowulf is also really good

stable glen
raw herald
#

My favourite is probably Beowulf

stable glen
#

I've done so many different ones idk

raw herald
#

Zeus²

stuck sentinel
#

i really dont like zeus if i'm going to be honest

stable glen
#

Zeus boons, heart rend, ME, even hangover

inner geyser
#

Zeus is amazing for Lernie

cedar nexus
#

Hmmm Zeus aspect with thunder flourish is the best choice

signal aspen
#

just change the hammers to charged shot and dashing wallop

cedar nexus
#

Also

raw herald
#

I think explosive return is the best hammer on Zeus shield

cedar nexus
#

How's that Artemis boon called

stable glen
#

You highlited a common tidal dash ans heartbreak strike

raw herald
#

According to Baj

stable glen
#

over sea storm and splitting bolt

stuck sentinel
#

zeus is good for lernie?

stable glen
#

Zeus shreds lernie

raw herald
#

Beowulf shreds Lernie especially EM2

stuck sentinel
#

i couldnt get the projectile to actually land on them the last time i tried to use it

chrome yoke
#

Everything is good for lernie ngl

stuck sentinel
#

fists arent really good for lernie

signal aspen
#

except for gilgamesh

chrome yoke
#

Fists are an exception

cedar nexus
#

Zeus + support fire

raw herald
#

All aspects can shred every boss if you get the best builds for them

chrome yoke
#

Hunting blades

  • Sun Tzu, the art of war
cedar nexus
chrome yoke
#

Fists are also bad for hades & asterius + theseus

#

Cuz they all have spin attacks

toxic steeple
#

why does my codex look like this? like, where are all of the other fish like mati or hellfish or scyllascion etc

stuck sentinel
#

so bad for all bosses except furies?

cedar nexus
chrome yoke
raw herald
#

My anyheat PB uses fists lol

#

Fists are good

signal aspen
#

fists good

#

except for gilgamesh

cedar nexus
#

I don't like exagryph because it's attack is weak and special is slow

raw herald
#

Use Zeus attack

cedar nexus
#

I get Zeus boon like

#

Once in three runs

signal aspen
#

use his keepsake

raw herald
#

Use his keepsake at the start

cedar nexus
#

Oh right keepsakes

stuck sentinel
#

exagryph bestagryph

cedar nexus
#

Anyway isn't very big damage

stuck sentinel
#

use hestia or eris

signal aspen
# cedar nexus Anyway isn't very big damage

0:00 - House / Previous Run
0:39 - Tartarus
5:41 - Asphodel
9:52 - Elysium
14:18 - Styx
15:51 - Hades
16:40 - Finish

16:01 RTA, 5:52 IGT.

Many months, hundreds of Hades hours and thousands of Eris runs later, I have fulfilled my original promise to Lili. On my first day of having this lovely new controller, too. I'm pretty happy with my play...

▶ Play video
raw herald
#

For every run where you are aiming to get a good build, you should be going god keepsake -> another god keepsake -> acorn/tooth/dad call/hourglass -> acorn/dad call/hourglass

cedar nexus
raw herald
#

Eris is good at level 1

stuck sentinel
#

is it?

cedar nexus
stuck sentinel
#

its only +15% if i remember correctly

raw herald
#

Rail is just a good aspect in general, even budget Eris (zag rail) is good

cedar nexus
raw herald
#

That's not a good idea if you want to get a good build

cedar nexus
#

Heh

#

I guess

raw herald
#

Butterfly is only good on aspects like Hestia/Guan yu where you can deal loads of damage at range

cedar nexus
#

I was using it on nemesis

stuck sentinel
#

that is not good

cedar nexus
#

Maximum I got is +16%

raw herald
#

You should only really use the butterfly if you are comfortable no-hitting the whole of tartarus

#

Consistently

cedar nexus
#

I'm almost doing it

raw herald
#

Max is 26% by the end of Tartarus, less if you get free rooms

cedar nexus
#

Fountains, charon

stuck sentinel
#

sisyphus

cedar nexus
#

Yeah

#

I killed wretched sneak in 5 seconds once

#

Inferno bombers are easy

#

Doomstone is much harder to do no hit

raw herald
#

The only miniboss I actually find annoying is the power couple, and I'm definitely in the minority. Witches circle is also my favourite Asphodel miniboss which is definitely different to my views from when I first started playing

stuck sentinel
#

power couple?

#

Is that the gorgon stone?

raw herald
#

Yes

stuck sentinel
#

I would agree with that

#

they are the hardest miniboss for me

#

i think the barge is actually pretty easy

raw herald
#

Barge is easy, but I hate it because it takes 20 seconds longer than the other minibosses

chrome wharf
#

Barge gets annoying with middle management and jury summons

stuck sentinel
#

the stone is pretty easy to just meg and bop

cedar nexus
stuck sentinel
#

for me atleast

chrome wharf
#

6 armored bombers accosting you in lava

raw herald
#

Witches are the hardest to meg, but once you get the hang of it, the room becomes a joke

stuck sentinel
#

i have not gotten the hang of doing that yet

#

they always just move when i do it

raw herald
#

Hang on, I'll post a slow motion video of me doing it. It might help

cedar nexus
#

I hate lava

cedar nexus
#

And combo skeletons

chrome wharf
#

Lava can burn in, uhhhh... hell????

stuck sentinel
#

damn, that makes it look crazy easy

#

so just move to the side and draw them together

#

then meg

raw herald
#

Pretty much

#

Stand above the bubble, aim at the top one and press summon when the 2 middle one's health bars line up

stuck sentinel
#

gonna try that out the next time they show up

@pure hamlet saw you green, thought i'd tag you just to register a compliment.
hades is simply amazing.
so well designed in every aspect, and such a complete game in all areas.
gameplay is outstanding and enough in itself. replayability that is hard to match.
it goes ahead, though, and offers art, music and story.
really, you guys deserve all the praise you can get.
keep at it.

#

just finished 100% steam achievements for hades (second game ever).
just got 16-heat statue and getting prepared to go for the third.
stopped a bit to reflect on the quality of the game and decided to come leave the compliment.

chrome yoke
#

Pog

#

Im gonna 100% it aswell

#

One day

#

I love the game

#

Its probably one of my top #3 aswell

#

The art, music and gameplay is fabulous

#

And its based off of my favorite mythology

shadow kernel
#

^^^^^^^^^

#

I could listen to the music all day

austere jacinth
#

Definitely my GOTY for last year. And the only game I have 100% on in my Steam catalogue. I adored it. Love the story, the characterisation, the art, the music, the gameplay.

#

And ARES ISN'T A MAD EVIL MANIAC ❤️ HERMES ISN'T JUST A MAILMAN ❤️

chrome yoke
#

First game i ever 100%'d - Subnuatica
Second game i ever 100%'d - Hollow Knight
Third game i ever 100%'d - none yet, but will soon be Hades

#

I wanna make my pfp something hades related

#

Idk what though

#

I tried thanatos but it doesnt fit

sharp dome
#

got my second clear twoday

#

today

dusky wedge
#

Meg

chrome yoke
#

i hate megaera

dusky wedge
sharp dome
chrome yoke
#

anyone else besides her??

austere jacinth
#

Meg is awesome!

storm fox
dusky wedge
austere jacinth
#

Her sisters also have bat wings though, if you'd rather go for Tis or Alecto. Meg is definitely one of my favourite characters in the game though.

chrome yoke
#

However!

#

That does give me an idea

#

Ima use mort as pfp

#

Does this look nice?

#

Click on my profile if it hasnt updated yet

austere jacinth
#

Looks cute

chrome wharf
#

looks alright, nose can be a bit lower

chrome yoke
#

yeah i tried

#

wait

south lagoon
#

looks good

chrome yoke
#

How about now?

#

i think mort is a little bit too

#

Vertical oval shaped

dusky wedge
#

Looks fine to me

#

That’s mort alright

chrome yoke
#

Changed it to zag because

vale moss
#

fml

#

had a great 50 heat beo run

I got a god damn
FIVE SACK

#

It hurts my soul

signal aspen
#

F

chrome yoke
#

Normally i get 2sack

plush dock
#

wait

#

i just realised you cant use ||fidi|| while dusa is ||fired||

chrome wharf
#

omg

plush dock
#

my ||fidi|| is level 5 and the other ones are level 1 🤦‍♀️

#

nice touch from the game but i'm still sad

chrome wharf
#

rip

#

try the other ones? I think the fables are the best-written part of the codex

#

probably because they have the same vibe as the Drakengard/Nier series' weapon stories

plush dock
#

theyre really cute

#

i'll try them

stuck sentinel
#

just tried to use the beyblade shield, its growing on me but i died to the timer after getting caught up in elysium and getting a 5-sack

raw herald
#

Probably Zeus shield

hearty bramble
#

how many GOTY awards does hades have now??

#

At least 6

stable glen
#

I went back to gods pride after using gods legacy for a few runs

#

god legacy is a scam

#

I started with all common boons

#

in the 1st choice and the reroll

#

turned on gods legacy got a rare and en epic, and two epics on the reroll

thorn marsh
#

see

#

they are all a scam

#

every single one of them

stable glen
#

No

#

gods pride is goated

#

those common boons I hade in my beo run

#

woulda been a lot better

thorn marsh
#

if gods pride is a scam

#

after rolling 2 times for rarity why do i still get common doom?

stable glen
#

Gods legacy: Now mirage shot whole run

#

gods pride: here ya go king

thorn marsh
#

please dont tell me ur doing hunters flare on beo

stable glen
#

this is hestia

thorn marsh
#

thank jesus

stable glen
#

I don't really like beo

#

sure the damage was insane

#

but kinda slow

#

I like mobility

stable glen
#

that 1st death hurt me

thorn marsh
#

i think they meant slow in mobility

#

not speed

#

lul

stable glen
#

yeah

#

Hera is more fun

thorn marsh
#

this pleases me to hear

signal aspen
stable glen
#

@signal aspen

#

Never touching gods legacy again

#

gods pride is giving me duos when i don't even want em

#

Do i take it or roll for pressure points

#

I have heart rend

#

this is hestia, never used it before

modern garnet
#

How often are you deflecting

stable glen
#

rocket special

modern garnet
#

Oh it's hard to deflect with that isn't it?

stable glen
#

kinda

#

does hunter dash affect my 1st shot after reload?

signal aspen
#

Yeah it does

stable glen
#

take that then?

signal aspen
#

But I would take splash dash

stable glen
#

tidal?

modern garnet
#

Wait hold on hunters mark is right there

stable glen
signal aspen
modern garnet
#

Oh right yeah

stable glen
#

then again I could just cast until I get it

#

posiedon ain't in my pool

stuck sentinel
#

Throw him in there

stable glen
#

I'm keeping my distance from enemies anyway

#

Do I take the dash or roll for pressure points

signal aspen
#

pp

modern garnet
#

Yeah reroll

stuck sentinel
#

Roll for pressure points

stable glen
#

Okay then

stable glen
#

Guess I'm taking that and getting passion dash

stuck sentinel
#

I’d take the attack

signal aspen
#

Red boon good

stable glen
#

Yeah that's what I thought

stuck sentinel
#

Red boon is red

stable glen
#

I was going for a HR from the begining

#

but my dumbass forgot I needed artemis attack

#

and was in too deep

signal aspen
#

Look for hunters mark now

stable glen
stuck sentinel
#

Do you have heartened yet?

stable glen
#

yes

#

I do

#

got it in tartarus

stuck sentinel
#

Noice

#

Lucky

#

If you can prolly swap special to aphro special and take tidal

#

If not just take pash dash

signal aspen
#

Yeah that's what I would do

stable glen
#

Possible

#

but low

stuck sentinel
#

Eh

#

Sell special

thorn marsh
#

in speedruns i see people start tidal but i got no idea

stuck sentinel
#

Take aphro keepsake

stable glen
stuck sentinel
#

Guess getting Poseidon’s unlucky

stable glen
#

Gotta do it then

#

for heart rend

stuck sentinel
#

Ah ok

#

Just take pash dash

#

Dying laments also nice for Styx

stable glen
#

yeah

#

hestia is outta my league

#

Used eris for way too long

stuck sentinel
#

Nah it’s not

stable glen
#

too used to eris

stuck sentinel
#

You’ll learn it

stable glen
#

HA HA

#

I took the artemis keepsake again for the rarity

#

and now got an artemis miniboss room

#

hunters mark here I come

#

hehe

stable glen
#

I'm so sad

#

lost my best build ever

#

to em4 dad with FO1

#

never doing that again

#

heroic level 12 frost flourish on chiron

#

with the blast boon

covert zenith
#

What's FO1

#

Oh Forced Overtime

stable glen
#

insane damage

#

but I lost all my death defiances to him

#

he was so fast

covert zenith
#

Which weapon

stable glen
#

chiron

#

I had pressure points as well

covert zenith
#

Ahh

stable glen
#

dealing like 2k damage per special

#

with crits

#

RIP

#

yeah not doing em4 anymore

#

not fun

covert zenith
#

I love chill + Arctic Blast on multihitting weapons. Chiron, Exagryph, Malphon...or any of the rest

stable glen
#

yeah

covert zenith
#

Has one of the largest damage increases plus a stackable status effect. Probably my favourite goddess

stable glen
#

What do you mean

#

Isn't it like 100 damage per blast for epic?

covert zenith
#

What do you mean
Arctic Blast does 100 on blast with Epic yes. By damage increase I meant the percentage increase of the attack/special itself

#

Demeter and Athena I think increase Attack by 40% without rarity. Only beat by Aphrodite's 50%

humble lintel
#

are there any people who are close to getting a 64 heat run

crude surge
#

Baj did one routed

humble lintel
#

and if not has anyone ran it with a cheat to see if there are any unique voice lines

humble lintel
#

can you link

crude surge
#

The current unrouted record is 60 done by Tailsque with Rama Ykc with Beo and Retrash did it with Eris seeded for drunken strike

humble lintel
#

beo is that viable? dang when i played casually a few months ago it was kinda meh

humble lintel
#

ty!

crude surge
#

Np

#

Beo good

humble lintel
#

unless the runner got to the final boss (how do you spoiler tag btw) before and already used the line

crude surge
#

I don’t think the devs expected anyone to even try zaglol

humble lintel
#

lol thats also a possibility

#

considering how long it took for even one run

crude surge
#

Afaik there’s just some lines for putting the pact above 32 nothing else

humble lintel
#

ah well thats cool nonetheless

#

i never bothered with high heat personally, i just played to try out all the cool duos and stuff i wanted and then kinda got bored

#

but i did get 90 hours out of the game so it was worth it i would say

narrow hemlock
quartz hearth
#

Well, I feel foolish.

#

I had a really nice build going, then took the Ares/Poseidon duo boon at Charon's shop pre-Champions and found I didn't like it much

#

but I couldn't reset the chamber and pick something else, the game said I had to continue

#

so I tried to Ctrl+Shift+Esc and end the process, thinking it would let me open up at my last quicksave when I entered the shop

#

instead, it deleted my entire run as if I'd pressed Give Up and sent me back to Skelly with nothing.

#

Serves me right for trying to game the system, I suppose, but I still feel regret D:

modern garnet
#

On the bright side you have the same seed

#

So hypothetically you could get right back where you were before

quartz hearth
#

So much lost work though

sly panther
#

this may sound weird but i was thinking about buying the game again for the switch since i heard the experience is so nice. to be clear i've already put in like 60 hours on pc (haven't played for a few months). would anyone recommend?

south lagoon
#

i got it once on switch and once on pc and plenty of hours in both. the save transferring is really nice. up to you how much you would play it and if that's worth another purchase for you

brisk trail
#

The riddielr

#

Wht do you mean by epilogue?

modern garnet
#

Once you beat the final boss 10 times the story progresses

rapid forum
brisk trail
#

I guess 9times

modern garnet
#

There's a whole credits sequence, and then there's a final quest of sorts that's a bit of an item sink

brisk trail
#

The riddler which boon did u like the most

modern garnet
#

As far as underrated boons I had a lot of fun with lightning rod

brisk trail
#

Uwu

#

I must try that

#

I hope hades gets a new sequence

modern garnet
#

Zeus artemis duo, and make sure to grab a lot of lightning support

brisk trail
#

Sure I will try rhat

#

Chaos boons are really good tbh

modern garnet
#

Have you been playing around with the pact? You can make bosses harder, and at some point you can buy a thing to make hades harder

brisk trail
#

Yes sir it's like a scroll?

#

Is not it

#

Isn't

#

It

modern garnet
#

Yeah

brisk trail
#

I hate the second realm

#

I always get burned

#

And the witches circle

Is pretty difficult

modern garnet

Hehe yeah thats one of the silliest minibosses

#

Endless waves of projectiles, there's nothing quite like it

brisk trail
#

Yea it's pretty fun ikr and get ur ass butned

Burned

I'm glad the fire doesn't hurt that bad

And the crystals in styx

high island
chrome yoke
#

They didnt lose their save

#

Just the run

#

As if they pressed give up

#

And one run normally doesnt take more than 20-30 minutes so it doesnt really matter

high island
#

Direct her to throw her bladerifts somewhere into open space when you see the startup.

#

That way, they won't just bounce against an obstacle and come back right away.

#

When you see that circle appear under you, just Dash-Strike into her, then back again when the next one appears.

#

That attack is just free damage for you.

#

It's only when she's enraged in her last phase that the circles are too fast for that, so you just run for a moment and kite her into traps or just dash away safely, then attack her when she stops.

Hey :) Question: for the #h1-for-new-players channel, what are considered spoilers? Everything post-first defeat of hades?

chrome yoke
#

everything after hades yes

#

and also hades himself is usually considered a spoiler

dense mist
#

Is the hp gain from revives affected by nourish soul? (35% bonus hp restoration)

chrome yoke
#

dont think so

high island
elfin rain
dense mist
#

taking hades keepsake to his boss fight is really a double edged sword

elfin rain
#

But also I didn't not expect to fight hades in a game titled hades

dense mist
#

i always reset his aoe attack with that and then i gotta dogde 3/4 of them instead of 2

Lmao

elfin rain

lmao

elfin rain
#

I was really skeptical about hades at first because I didn't think I'd enjoy a game where the majority of the gameplay is running through chambers killing enemies but it was magical

#

Then I went & watched the hades documentary and bought all of supergiant's games lmfao

at first i also didnt like it but now im VERY addicted

# hard pawn Theres a documentary?

Yep by noclip which I think is a channel that makes gaming documentaries? Here's the first one https://youtu.be/JzyE9hi912c

In the first episode of our series covering the development of Hades, we meet the team at Supergiant Games who are preparing to launch in early access and finish their announcement trailer. All in preparation for Hades' secret public debut at The Game Awards.

Noclip's work is 100% crowdfunded. Consider supporting us on Patreon: https://www.pat...

while also having damage reduction i dont think hers is as good as athena's innate just make u not take damage

Actually they really dont

Ive already maxed:
Poseidon

so i only need one more god

high island

Okay.

chrome yoke
#

Okay

#

btw when i max dionysus, last god i need, will the epilogue start like a few runs later or what?

There will be a dialogue with Queen Persephone, and she'll tell you what to do. Shouldn't take too long after that.

got a question about cast builds: which flares are the best for a beowulf build?

stuck sentinel
raw herald
#

Passion flare, flood flare or trippy flare

stuck sentinel
#

^

brisk trail
void vigil
#

I had a lot of fun with trippy flare

raw herald
#

Flood flare makes it easier to get mirage shot. Passion flare does the most damage consistently after trippy flare was nerfed. Trippy flare needs extra stones because you use stygian soul.

stuck sentinel
#

trippy flare can still do some crazy 1.5k bursts if you get a few extra casts

Hi alma

#

why is hunting blades so broken

#

Dont get me wrong i love it

But on low heat its a free win

Once you get better and unlock more of the mirror, any build at low heat becomes a free win

Hello!!! I've been trying to reach the epilogue of the game, and for that I need to get the favor of six olympian gods right? I'm only missing poseidon's favor. The wiki says that for getting the favor it's necessary to fishing up a minimum of 18 fish, and having caught at least 1 fish for that run prior to encountering Poseidon, i've already done that and i can't get the favor. Do I need to maximice the level of poseidon's keepsake to get the favor?

#

also sorry if my english is bad

chrome yoke
#

Nope!

#

Just have to get lucky.

#

Catch 18 fish total, and then catch a fish during the run you try to complete the favor

grand holly
#

oh ok! Do I need to catch all the types of fish, or that doesn't matter?

chrome yoke
#

Nope!

#

Just 18 total, in any number of runs

You can check how many you hsve caught in the aquarium lounge upgrade bought at the contractor dusa

#

what order do you all think is a good one to start maxing aspects?

I did Hera first, because it had such a big impact on gameplay, now deciding between Achilles spear, Demeter Fists, Beowulf shield, and Eris rail... mostly so I can progress through the heats with each weapon to upg other stuff

#

for sword, i'm just using arthur which probably will not have a huge benefit from upgrades

lunar orchid
#

just max out achilles and the sword that pops stones demeter fists and eris

#

those you can grind quickly to easily get enough blood to unlock and level everything up pretty quickly

#

damn i just ran with the wildest demeter laser beams

#

maxed out with all the goodies and 5 casts

#

can you get mirage shot with the laser beams?

Dahm. This is definitely a "please take my money" kind of game, everything I've been looking for

if you're worried about content though, the base game will provide much more than most "AAA" games :]

so DLC isn't really needed

I'm just over here laughing about Zag slipping booze to the dog

it's like the scene in Strange Brew where they just pour a can of beer into the dog's bowl

A lot of what Zag does leads to things getting worse before they get better. He also causes quite a few people a substantial amount of distress. Zag and those involved eventually work things through, but the game tends to be somewhat realistic about all those relationships, which is awesome.

Hey! I have a mouse with two side buttons and was wondering what i should bind their if anything for hades

I don't like using q for my special

@signal aspen what do you have on right click then?

radiant rampart

hmm is there an issue where you quit the game improperly and it resets your run? I could have swore I quit normally in a room in styx and I jumped on to play some more and I'm back at home lol 😦

robust scaffold
#

yea u mightve clicked abandon run by accident

radiant rampart
#

seems possible I guess lol, doesn't it give you a warning when you do that though?

robust scaffold
#

i think so

radiant rampart
#

oh well whatever, just curious. thanks for the answer 🙂

robust scaffold
#

np

quartz hearth
#

Yeah, I forced the program to close yesterday and it reset my run, too

#

It's frustrating 😭

radiant rampart
#

I'm like 99% sure I didn't alt f4 or antthing

#

if anything, I abondoned by accident lol 😄

quartz hearth
#

Yup, at least it served me right for trying to cheat and go back to pick a different boon

#

Losing your run on an innocent accident... that's tough.

radiant rampart
#

not the end of the world, kind of a bummer because I unlocked luci aspect at the start of that run

#

I'm on like a 20 win streak, still just doing low heat nothing over 5, so it's not like I lost progress on a really difficult run or antthing 🙂

good to know that I shouldn't try to alt f4 I guess

@radiant rampart @quartz hearth there are steps to recover your save in #h1-tech-fixes.

radiant rampart
#

@high island thanks, I'll check it out if something like that happens again.

high island
#

There's a permanent save back in the House of Hades, that's before your run.

#

And there's a temp save mid-run.

#

So the mid-run save from your run was still there, but when you quit the game like that it was similar to selecting "Give Up" and the game loaded the permanent save next time.

radiant rampart
#

good to know, much appreciated

#

I swear I quit the same as usual, wonder what happened 🤔

high island
#

Perhaps you selected "Give Up" by accident.

#

Either way, you'll know how to recover your save if it happens again. courte5AphroHeart courte5DusaBond

#

If it happens more often that you "Quit" but it sets you back to the House of Hades like that, you can report that in-game with F10 and/or ask for help with it in #h1-tech-support.

short glen
#

waits patiently but also excitedly for next patch

#

For some reason my brain wants to describe Artemis as having an adorable personality but I think I'd be shot with an arrow if I did that

high island
#

What patch? Very sure the dev team is all on vacation or just coming back. The test branch is functionally discontinued, too.

#

At most, we'll be getting minor bug fixes for the time being, and there have been no announcements for any future patches.

short glen
#

Yes

#

There's a bug with Zeus' favor not triggering I'm hyped for the fixing of

high island
#

Oh nice.

#

It's amazing how steadily they're still pushing out bug fixes 10 months after release.

short glen
#

Ye

misty knot
#

Genuine question: when Zag says "Don't spend it all in one place, mate" do you think he's talking to Charon or to himself/the player?

short glen
#

All of the above

high island

He's talking to Mate.

#

That's one of the shades there.

I'm currently in the process of making the trophy guide, but can't exactly remember what the original costs for each aspects were, not the upgrade cost, but the unlocking cost

1st: 1/1/1/1/1. 2nd: 1/2/3/4/5. 3rd: 2/2/3/4/5. 4th(hidden): 3/3/3/3/3

Why do lots of people who don’t like rogue-likes like hades?

because hades has a good story and characters
it's unique among that awful trend to make everything a rogue-like a while back

its very accessible

Not as long as all aspects, which is a real category which has been done a few times

chrome yoke
#

does that include hidden aspects??

compact grove
#

so

why do many people underrate Demeter again?

raw herald
#

Yes, all 24 aspects. The record is around 7h45

raw herald
compact grove
#

god

chrome yoke
#

i have every aspect except the hiden aspects unlocked because achilles is literally bullying me

compact grove
#

I searched around online and people just don't seem to put her on S tier

chrome yoke
#

and not giving me dialogue

raw herald
#

She's good in high heat but not really in speedrunning

#

And those 2 things are the main thing that people base tier lists on

compact grove
#

ok sure, timer mode is its own thing, but most people online aren't speedrunners

raw herald
#

Gods like Aphrodite/Hermes are good in both high heat and speedrunning

#

Also, anybody can make a tierlist. By any chance could you link the list that you found?

chrome yoke
#

Aphrodite has best damage boons

raw herald
#

Not necessarily

chrome yoke
#

I do like demeters boon that makes a boon common to heroic

compact grove
#

I searched "god tier list hades" on google. Clicked the first few results.

chrome yoke
raw herald
#

Not by a long shot

#

Artemis does

#

Maybe pom/rarity scaling, but Artemis scales the best with global damage/chaos damage by far

raw herald
chrome yoke
#

what

compact grove
#

outside timer mode, Demeter's chill and auto-regen mean that I can win no matter how bad my build is

chrome yoke
#

auto-regen?

raw herald
#

Stubborn roots

#

Athena/Demeter duo

chrome yoke
#

only boon from demeter i like is the one that makes ur boons heroic

#

but only if i get it in tartarus or asphodel

compact grove
#

that be cool too, if I get enough luck for it. But I prioritize regen first

raw herald
#

I used to like rare crop a ton, but it can't affect Hermes boons, and those are the only real ones that need high rarity

compact grove
#

yeah hermes boons are clearly special

#

though I don't depend on them outside +1 dash

raw herald
#

If it hits stuff like jolted/doom it's okay, but what if it hits something like nourished soul

compact grove
#

when I searched online I saw people complain about demeter lacking DPS

raw herald
#

Well, you don't go for demeter's attack/special boons if you want to do a ton of damage

#

You pick them for safety

compact grove
#

obviously. Athena and Demeter are the best 2 defense gods.

raw herald
#

Aphrodite as well

chrome yoke
#

i like deflect

shadow kernel
#

Tidal dash is something else

#

Especially when you have other Poseidon boons

chrome yoke
#

its vvery good yes

shadow kernel
#

I’ve done dash only runs and they’re so fun

#

If you get breaking wave you can dash through Satyr tunnels and by the time you’re at the door they’re all dead

shadow kernel
#

But at high heat divine dash is probably better because it’s way safer

chrome yoke
#

poseidon is probably the best god for styx

#

small rooms

#

lots of walls

compact grove
#

I don't have much experience with Aphrodite. She has big percentages but the "weak" status effect is.... well, maybe it's needed if you don't get stubborn roots (or in timer mode)

chrome yoke
#

theres a boon that makes weak enemies take more damage, so thats why i use aphrodite so much

raw herald
#

Weak is a ~42% increase to HP

shadow kernel
#

Also privileged status exists and is broken

raw herald
#

I basically never use privileged status these days

compact grove
#

counting on broken resolve I guess

raw herald
#

It makes enemies do 70% of the damage that they would have done. 100/70=1.428, or a 42.8% increase to HP

compact grove
#

naruhodoclose interesting perspective

raw herald
#

100 -> 130 is not the same as 70 -> 100

#

If that makes sense

compact grove
#

yeah if enemy wants to kill your 100 HP they need 142 damage

tepid plover
compact grove
#

I guess I prefer seeing Zeus AOE all the trash mob so I have not been building for Aphro

#

usually I can aim to get Athena, Demeter, and then Zeus. But not more (reliably).

raw herald
#

Zeus is better than aphro on fast hitting attacks like the rail/fists, especially if you get static discharge.

compact grove
#

yeah Jolted is pretty sweet for mob control

high island
#

Lightning Strike on Excalibur is sad. But put Heartbreak Strike on it...

river vigil
#

Even better, dont put anything on it squirtdevious

high island
#

That's not better than Weak and Smoldering Air.

river vigil
#

Ik lmao, but still big damage

shadow kernel
#

Dude how do you get fast runs with Beowulf

#

I SUCK at taking out rooms with lots of enemies with it

#

Especially In asphodel where all of the enemies jump around

raw herald
#

Use FO1

high island
#

You typically want to take FO1 rather than FO2 for Beowulf speedruns.

shadow kernel
#

How do I clear out large rooms

#

When enemies are spread out it takes so long to kill them all because I can’t just kill them all at once with big AOE attacks

high island
#

Imagine me typing all that, slowly on my phone, and you just write "Use FO1".

raw herald
high island
#

Don't get bad rooms with bad enemies.

raw herald
high island
#

Check Lili's guide for spawn manipulations.

shadow kernel
#

Where can I find that?

high island
#

A rule of thumb is kill everything around you until enemies stop spawning, then finish off the rest, end by exit.

shadow kernel
#

Ah thanks
