soft echo
#

Sidenote: how long did it take everyone to realize that Meg from Hades is the same Meg as in the Disney movie Hercules?

manic bobcat
#

Also there are sound indicators for most of those things.

soft echo
#

It took me like 50 hours in the game

thorn marsh
south lagoon
#

i didnt make that connection but i also never watched disney's hercules so i'm in the clear

soft echo
#

They're both Megaera tho...?

prisma wind
#

They are not the same person

soft echo
#

Oh...

manic bobcat
#

Meg in Hercules is just a human.
Meg in Hades is from the Erinyes myth.

#

They are different :D

soft echo
#

I thought I was some genius when I realized the names

thorn marsh
#

lul

manic bobcat
#

But both Megs have an enchanting voice though

south lagoon
#

is meg named megaera in hercules too or is it short for something else

soft echo
#

Yeah

#

She says it when she first introduces herself

south lagoon
#

i c i c

prisma wind
#

In Hercules it's Megara (no second E)

manic bobcat
#

They both have a bit of rasp in their voice.
I love it.

south lagoon
#

megara

thorn marsh
#

meara

soft echo
#

Why yes, yes I did watch that movie on Disney+ just to prove myself correct

thorn marsh
#

lul

prisma wind
#

They are both different figures from Greek mythology though

soft echo
#

Well, incorrect now

south lagoon
#

youre doing it right you're analyzing the text you're making connections to other media.. hell yeah.....

#

just fuzzy on the details

thorn marsh
#

the execution was right but the thing was not

manic bobcat
soft echo
#

My reasonings:
Both Greek
Both similar names
Both work for Hades

prisma wind
soft echo
manic bobcat
thorn marsh
#

what did zag do that caused them to break yp?

south lagoon
#

once i read the codex

thorn marsh
#

up*

manic bobcat
#

Being Zag, I guess

thorn marsh
#

once i played the game

thorn marsh
soft echo
#

I'm Zag, im Zag

manic bobcat
#

Meg wanted to be a career girl.
And Zag is literally a criminal who get away with everything because his Dad is the boss.

south lagoon
#

n zag was forcing meg into a position where her career rode on killing him lol

soft echo
#

Gets away with it is a bit much

south lagoon
#

i mean he kinda does imo

#

certainly miles beyond what anyone else would

manic bobcat
#

Okay, maybe he gets spanked in the end. But big whoop

south lagoon
#

he just gets to keep trying!

thorn marsh
soft echo
#

That just made me think of the post Hades death narrator where he says that Zag slipped on a banana peel and just died

thorn marsh
#

where did zag find a banana peel

south lagoon
#

on the ground, presumably

soft echo
#

In Greece

manic bobcat
#

Was there banana in ancient Greece?

prisma wind
#

You never noticed that bananas featured prominently in Greek mythology?

manic bobcat
#

Not really, like unironically

thorn marsh
#

n o

soft echo
#

Of course, you haven't read that Apollo's favorite snacks were bananas???

thorn marsh
#

no

prisma wind
#

Seriously though, I don't think ancient Greeks had any idea what bananas were

thorn marsh
#

remember

#

i skipped the epilogue for speedrunning

#

n o

south lagoon
#

this banana stuff. this is the good critique . this is what i'm here for

south lagoon
#

oh god oh no

manic bobcat
#

I can't play this game anymore

#

I want my refund

thorn marsh
#

oh no

#

my reality is collasping

manic bobcat
#

Wait

soft echo
#

Wight delete that message

#

We can't have them know

manic bobcat
#

Posephone was planting tomatoes and squash in her garden

thorn marsh
#

wight

prisma wind
#

The actual timeline for the setting is never stated, so maybe it takes place post 15th century

manic bobcat
#

That's fake news literally

thorn marsh
#

how could u mislead us

#

THEY SAVED IT

#

WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

manic bobcat
#

Pesephone, more like, Pesephony, am I right?

thorn marsh
#

pursaphone

#

thats how one of my friends mispronounced it

#

purse-a-phone

soft echo
#

What do you call Persephone with a lot of make-up on?

south lagoon
#

i dont know, what Do you call Persephone with a lot of make-up on

soft echo
#

Persephora

south lagoon
#

thorn marsh
#

#

persephone

soft echo
#

ECKS DEE

thorn marsh
#

prisma wind

I enjoy the levity but let's rein it in now

#

whip Back to the on-topic mines!

soft echo
#

HADES

thorn marsh
#

yes hay deez

soft echo
#

No

narrow hemlock
south lagoon
#

omg

stone fog
#

I don't get this, you know how achievement percentages are always really low

#

apparently 24% of players not only beat Hades but beat it ten times

#

wtf do people see in this game that they play it so much

thorn marsh
#

jesus christ man

south lagoon
#

i think we have talked about this already

thorn marsh
#

give it a rest please

narrow hemlock
#

why do you keep bringing this back up dude

thorn marsh
#

holy jesus

narrow hemlock
#

you need to stop.

stone fog
#

I'm saying like if this was any other game

manic bobcat
#

How dare people enjoy something I don't? Stop having fun.

thorn marsh
#

p l e a s e g o d

stone fog
#

even just beating it one time would be like 5% completion

#

have you guys ever actually looked at achievement percentages?

soft echo
stone fog
#

beating it 10 times is 24%

thorn marsh
#

jesus man

#

please

#

give it up?

stone fog
#

24% is like the percentage in most games for getting a mandatory achievement less than an hour in lol

#

24% in most games is like "beat the second chapter"

#

I just don't get why normies are so in love with this game

thorn marsh
#

then just dont get it

south lagoon
#

i'm glad that other people are getting enjoyment out of the game enough to play it that much. i don't think that speaks to, like, anything negative?

thorn marsh
#

but please just drop it

stone fog
#

I'm not saying it's negative

#

I mean it's cool that people play their games

#

but it's negative to every other game that no one plays other games yet plays Hades specifically this much

#

like literally nothing relevant even happens after the first run

manic bobcat
thorn marsh
#

im like 500% sure this is ur opinion

stone fog
#

ok you can put on some modifiers to make the same enemies, same bosses, and same room layouts just be a little diffferent

manic bobcat
#

Mod don't mute him. He's funny.

thorn marsh
#

nahaha make that like 5000%

stone fog
#

but why would 24% of people beat this game 10 times

south lagoon
#

they like it

thorn marsh
#

because they find the game fun

stone fog
#

the average normie literally plays a game for like 5 minutes on average

#

you can check average playtimes on steamspy

thorn marsh
#

because they enjoy playing the game

south lagoon
#

i don't understand why you care so much about this

thorn marsh
#

mods pls help

stone fog
#

normies don't play their games, but they play Hades like obsessively, like even well beyond the point of additonal content

south lagoon
#

good for them!

thorn marsh
#

@prisma wind pls help

manic bobcat
#

In today's news, gamers don't understand why people have fun playing games. More at 11.

stone fog
#

I'm just bringing up something I noticed, does no one else suprrised by that?

modern garnet
#

The gameplay loop of roguelikes has a wide appeal

manic bobcat
#

Nope

#

None whatsoever

#

I like the stock game.

stone fog
#

if you all looked at the achievement percentages in some of your favorite games you would definitely think that's suprising

stone fog
#

24% of people beat the game 10 times

south lagoon
#

it's just really not that big a deal

modern garnet
#

People drop games when they get frustrated, and hades has measures in place to reduce frustration

manic bobcat
#

Obviously

prisma wind
#

Anyway, moving on

Assuming you're doing what you said you should

manic bobcat
soft echo
#

What does this mean

#

Hades

#

What a game

manic bobcat
#

Tomorrow we shall discuss Zag Bow and why it's the best weapon in the game.

modern garnet
#

What if you could use nemesis from a distance?

#

Zag bow is there for you

manic bobcat
granite ether
#

better yet, you don't have to press another button to get the crit chance on attack

soft echo
#

I feel like Zag bow is like a solid B+ or A tier but is SO BORING

modern garnet
#

Honestly I don't think I have any blood in it

#

I'd rather play any other bow

soft echo
#

Same

#

Rama is so fun

granite ether
#

I had fun with zag bow when first starting to get the hang of bow

south lagoon
#

i respect zag bow but the others have mechanics that i think are more fun

granite ether
#

but now I find every other bow more fun that it

soft echo
#

I think it's funny how slow Rama is with Explosive Shot

#

But you end up just ripping through everything

granite ether
#

triple shot explosive shot rama is such a meme but its so fun

soft echo
#

Ikr

modern garnet
#

Explosive Shot Rama should be default rama

granite ether
#

would you like to shotgun more, absolutely

modern garnet
#

Alienate everyone who likes their bowstring to pull back

soft echo
#

Yes

#

Titanium bow string supremacy

🏹 🦥

soft echo
#

I think Gilgamesh is really stinky but it's so funny having greater reflex and epic greatest reflex

#

seven dashes

narrow hemlock
#

i still think 5+ gilg dashes with posi dash is one of the funniest runs ive ever done, just so entertaining

#

was it optimal? nope. was it incredibly funny? yeah

soft echo
#

LOL

robust scaffold
#

considering gilg dmg sucks

#

its probably pretty good

soft echo
#

What are you Jawless Paul with the dash only run?!

#

Tatz I mean

modern garnet
#

The paws are just there to complete the cosplay, the dashes do all the work

narrow hemlock
#

oh no i say it wasnt optimal bc my boon choices for the run overall were not that great, but boy i smacked the hell out of styx

granite ether
#

poseidon knockback in styx feels oh so good :3

narrow hemlock
#

its really entertaining when you lean fully into it with rupture and increased dmg on walls

#

its like zag just came thru styx riding a surfboard on a tidal wave

soft echo
#

I got my pb recently with aspect and chaos with poseidon special, let's just say most styx rooms took about 2 moves

modern garnet
#

Sometimes you have to actually fight the styx enemies and be careful where you stand and stuff... and other times you just splishy splashy and its done

soft echo
#

Lol

#

Poseidon isn't too great until styx

#

Then he does funny splash dash

narrow hemlock
#

posi dash in styx is like summoning a legendary pokemon on those early game starter area pokemon

high island
#

Poseidon's Dash is amazing before the Temple of Styx, too.

soft echo
#

Well ofc

narrow hemlock
#

it is, but the tiny rooms in styx make it infinitely funnier

high island
#

More importantly, wall-slam damage scales with the biome, so wall-slams do a ton of damage in Satyr tunnels.

soft echo
#

Yeah

high island
#

And by a ton of damage I mean I don't know how much, I don't know the definition of a ton of damage. dusa

#

m not a scientist.

manic bobcat
#

A ton is 1000 kg

prisma wind
#

Enemies do explode as if a 1 ton weight was dropped on them, so that tracks

manic bobcat
#

Now if only bosses act the same as normal enemies

#

There must be a mod for that right?

prisma wind
#

Just fuss with some numbers in the scripts to make your own mod

manic bobcat
robust scaffold
#

dont bulli bosses :(

manic bobcat
#

With Poseidon Dash

soft echo

#

Wait-! No! My mind is thinking of fun ways to impliment all the gods and weapons into a moveset that will bore anyone to sleep! Noooo!

high island

I found the definition. courte5AphroHeart courte5DusaBond

Oh, how I wish you could fight Nighty Night EM3 Theseus for that statement.

high island
#

Imagine EM3 Theseus, but his bombs frequently bounce off walls with unpredictable paths, frequently giving you no time to react, so you can't rely on any of the visual indicators and have to actually look out for the bombs and where they're going.

Because those red circles are useless.

He's done it!

polar root
#

I did?

high island
#

I always think it's funny when people say FO2 isn't so bad without realizing that if it wasn't for speed limits for certain enemy types, it would very much be "so bad".

soft echo
#

Felt grass without going outside

polar root
#

20% is bad enough

soft echo
#

Tbh i think FO1 is kinda free

polar root
#

after you get used to it, it is

high island
#

shadesmile Forced Overtime: added foe-specific limitations in cases where this was particularly unfair...
shadesmile Benefits Package: reduced how much bonus Armor could be provided by the Bruiser Perk

Those two were probably the biggest changes to make high heat a lot more accessible.

Well, that and...

dark foresight is a bit more than 20%

i feel like

high island
#

Dark Foresight is 40% more.

soft echo
#

I'm gonna sound dumb but what is dark foresight

high island

It changes the odds from 50/50 to 70/30.

polar root

Oh that one

I have 0 desire to use it

polar root

high island

It gives you "+20%" gold laurel rewards.

It's not my fault I'm stupid I swear

high island

Which, as I just explained, works out to change the odds from 50/50 to 70/30.

did dark foresight used to change it to 60/40?

high island

It used to change it from 50/50 to 50/50.

Ah, I wanted to ask if marked is counted as a status curse

high island
#

Hunter's Mark? Yes.

polar root

oh

#

thanks!

soft echo
#

Im still a firm believer that it's kinda overrated

polar root
#

what is?

soft echo
#

Hunters mark

polar root
#

is infinite crits bad?

soft echo
#

Not at all

#

But I don't think it's as good as some ppl make it out to be

polar root
#

still is a really good choice

#

it SHREDS on nemesis sword

#

any aspect

#

hunter's mark Hestia? MHM

high island
#

Pressure Points + Hunter's Mark is amazing on anything.

Idk, it's just that I don't find myself clearing rooms all that much faster with it

No

Gun is boring

polar root
#

wut

soft echo
#

Too easy imo

polar root
#

well

soft echo
#

I don't think Hunters Mark is bad, it's just not the all-amazing thing

high island
#

@cloud lichen what's your high heat PB?

#

I don't think anyone's called it that.

#

It's just the one thing you want from her when you have crits.

#

And potentially Heart Rend.

soft echo
#

Shoot which one is Heart Rend

high island
#

And it's top priority for poms, usually.

#

+150% crit damage on Weak enemies.

soft echo
#

Ah

high island
#

So crits do 4.5x damage instead of 3x.

polar root
#

stronk

high island
#

Which is either amazing or barely does anything at all depending on your build.

#

Deadly Strike + Heartbreak Flourish + Heart Rend on Hestia?

Heartbreak Strike + Deadly Flourish + Heart Rend on Hestia?

polar root
#

😦

soft echo
#

I really like having frozen Strike on demeter fists with the burst at 10 chill boon

high island
#

Still does less damage than other options. courte5Ohno

#

But Chill is nice.

#

I wish her boons had any way to skill with anything but her own boons.

soft echo
#

Oh yeah I never said it was good

high island
#

You can't even pom any of her boons that you'd want to pom.

#

Except for Crystal Beam stuff.

soft echo
#

Yeah

#

Achilles + Crystal Beam is funny

high island
#

Frost Strike poms are sad, and Frost Flourish poms are even worse.

soft echo
#

Yeah

polar root
#

big sadge

robust scaffold
#

if u could pom that dot frost boon

#

that would be so nice

#

arctic chill?

modern garnet
#

she's just not hungry i guess

high island
#

Her Call is a glorified "apply 10 Chill in an AOE".

#

Which is nice, to be fair.

soft echo
#

Yeah I think it's pretty good to set down

modern garnet
#

it's like a blade rift but really big and not sharp at all

soft echo
#

Not as good as Poseidon or Aphrodite Call tho

robust scaffold
#

of course

#

demeter call is just good to have

better than nothing

Pretty much

high island
robust scaffold
#

oops

#

killing freeze :p

#

is that the name

high island
#

Snow Burst poms are alright for like the first two levels... but you'd rather pom your Cast in Cast builds, anyway.

#

Frozen Touch can be pommed, of all things.

robust scaffold
#

pomming that is not a good idea :D

modern garnet
#

do you build towards frozen touch in revenge builds? do "revenge builds" have any meta

soft echo
#

I will say about Demeter though, is that her Legendary is stupidly good

high island
#

If they have any meta, it doesn't include Frost Touch.

robust scaffold
#

well ive never had it other than in the hades fight so i cant comment on that

soft echo
#

Seeing Theseus die in various ways, Dem's Legendary being one, always brings me seratonin

#

I'm normal I swear

polar root
#

if you say so

lilac swift
#

The best way is to use Aphrodite's Aid on 1 of them after hearing them talk about their unbreakable bond lol

soft echo
#

Ikr

high island
#

Winter Harvest is about as good as a 5% Pressure Points in a build that doesn't have crit chance yet.

soft echo
#

I think there should be DLC where Asterius is fed up with Theseus's crap and just goes to the House of Hades

high island
#

That makes no sense lore-wise.

#

Asterius wouldn't get to be in Elysium without King Theseus.

lilac swift

I wished that I could eventually fight the Olympian gods when I first played the game

soft echo
#

Yeah

Yeah

Guys guys

Hades is clearly the best girl

I mean

#

His name is literally the title of the game

stable glen
#

Gonna say it right now tho, zeus builds are the most fun in the game

#

in my opinion

#

there are just so many good boons that zeus cores scale with

polar root
#

if you want zoos

#

you need a million more zoos

basically

at some point you just sneeze and a hundred lightning bolts come out

I really like the zeus Poseidon boon

The best boons for me are Aphrodite and Dionysus

crude surge

R O D

Lady Aphrodite's boons are indeed the best boons.

Hi new.

just quick question, why are aphrodite boons the best boons?

polar root
#

they got high % dmg

halcyon aurora
#

i find ares and zeus much better for me

#

oh

high island
#

One of the top Hades players made a boon tier list, and she put all of Lady Aphrodite's boons in top tier.

polar root

Did they really?

#

wow

high island

Because they're so good.

hestia player's dream

stable glen

Her call isn't the worst but not the best either

turbid quest

i mean, her damage boost is biggest

polar root

yeah

I really like athena's call

turbid quest
stable glen
#

Ares.

polar root
turbid quest
stable glen
#

Athena's call is insanely good

#

You can just DPS freely

high island
#

Zeus' Aid and Aphrodite's Aid are legitimately the best Calls in the game.

polar root

mhm

halcyon aurora
#

Athena's call actually helped me got through the first finished run

What makes aphro's call so good tho

robust scaffold

like me

greater call has highest dmg for unupgraded calls

charm is useful too

crude surge

and is also useful in rooms where you cant charge up to greater

turbid quest

#

durability ?

high island
#

Duration.

turbid quest
#

the amount of time enemies are charmed

#

messed the word

stable glen
#

I usually end up killing the charmed enemy by accident

empty flame
#

Aphros call plus hermes epic or rare auto god meter is so good tho

#

Everyone loves zagreus

high island
#

Best burst damage, easy access to Smoldering Air, and Charm immediately neutralizes any threat. You can virtually perma-Charm Hades if you build god gauge fast enough and have some levels in the Call.
