small parrot
#

not that I know of

lilac swift
#

it happens so rarely :((

soft echo
#

More like coma incarnate

small parrot
#

I mean, you're technically asleep while in a coma?

polar root
#

wow

small parrot
#

I'm not a medical professional, so someone's gonna have to clear it up for me

soft echo
lilac swift
#

welp, cooking time

#

corona been down bad

small parrot
#

Just like how Death Incarnate is grim and foreboding, but ultimately empathetic and reliable
Sleep Incarnate is easygoing and a bit scattered, but can be greatly motivated with the right inspiration.
Kinda how dreams can give people a burst of inspiration

soft echo
#

(Then why isn't Nyx all scary and eerie?)

lilac swift
#

you aren't scared of her?

#

when she fired Dusa

#

oooh

#

angy

soft echo
#

:o

small parrot
#

Nyx can be scary and eerie, but she can also be comforting and peaceful

soft echo
#

That's one of the few side-stories I havent seen

small parrot
#

Also, the one time Zag actually presses her buttons, he practically craps himself

lilac swift
#

oh sorry then

#

oops

soft echo
#

Nah it's a spoiler chat

elfin rain
#

How could they write that into the game thats on the level of writing a battle with cerby

#

Nm its gonna be like dusa ur fired

lilac swift
#

It's one of many more fun things

elfin rain
#

From now on you will be an official consort of prince zag

#

Duties involve cheering him on after he emerges from the styx

#

RIGHT

#

;_;

lilac swift
#

I mean, we all know what Zag does to things he doesn't like right

#

prob best you find all that out

#

I found that out after 80~ runs lmao

#

or do a lil bit of youtoob

elfin rain
#

But yeah he doesn't take it lying down

#

His own birthmom couldn't stop him

median schooner
#

do yall think jury summons is worse than damage control or is it the other way round

raw herald
#

Depends on the weapon

#

I think DC is worse for the most part

polar root
#

hestia is crying when dc is on

small parrot
#

DC is worse, imo.

lilac swift
#

DC sucks

polar root
#

DC big bad

small parrot
#

Extra foes don't matter with strong AoE

polar root
#

beowulf gud

small parrot
#

But what DC offers can really screw you over

#

And if you're on a slow weapon

polar root
#

hestia is crying again

#

not peculiarly slow

raw herald
#

Starting splash dash helps on hestia

polar root
#

mhm

raw herald
#

Still not advisable

polar root
#

yeah makes sense

#

I haven't seen Poseidon in a while

#

1 DC isnt as bad if you have like a dash boon

#

but still is bad

lilac swift
#

hey does anyone has the bug where your rail bomb doesn't land where your mouse is

#

like it marked the place

polar root
#

yeah i get it often

raw herald
#

It's not a bug

lilac swift
#

then it changes the place

raw herald
#

It hits obstacles and changes its path

lilac swift
#

it didn't happen before, but recently I got it alot

polar root
#

might not be a bug tho

raw herald
#

And sometimes if you cast at the same time, it goes all funny

#

I think that might be a bug

lilac swift
#

yeah, it goes all over the place

polar root
#

the most depressing thing that happens

the meg missing on the guy youre standing on

#

Plot twist Hades kills you and mother

polar root
#

jesus

#

man

#

ideas

idle sorrel
#

could also fit the story since the titans would like to trash HADES so maybe they would try and persuade Zagreus to set them free

polar root
#

that be sick

ashen ether
#

Imagine that tho

#

Why is "In the Blood" such a good song

polar root
#

catJAM

#

hot take: I like 'in the blood' more than 'good riddance'

ashen ether
#

Yep

polar root
#

both are really good tho

small parrot
#

pfft

#

Doesn't matter which one you like more

#

They're all bangers, and that's what matters

Hey Orpheus, mate? That song of yours? Something something in the blood?

Honestly first phase EM4 took me by surprise

#

Cause I didn't expect gigaros flying towards me

polar root
#

XD

#

at rocket speed

chrome wharf
#

and the Achilles Rush Lol

rapid forum
#

Also the triple SIKE swing

#

And the minibosses

#

Basically everything in phase 1

#

Was rougher than phase 2 or 3 combined

chrome wharf
#

the double spin feels like a figure skating move

wise oasis
#

When I do em4 I forget hell do a double spin

#

When I don't do it I get confused that he doesnt

rapid forum
#

ikr

small parrot
#

EM4 is hardest during phase 1 and 2, yeah

#

Mostly phase 1

#

Especially if you get like a Megagorgon and a Sneak

mint coral
#

Or 2 butterfly balls and you just say goodbye to acorn dusa

idle sorrel
#

do anybody if there is a place for suggestions to the games

small parrot
#

huh?

idle sorrel
#

or questions

shadow kernel
#

Phase 1 is definitely the hardest

#

But you’re the em4 expert

small parrot
idle sorrel
#

but in 3 your have less vision i don't get how you can find that harder than minibosses

shadow kernel
#

It’s not harder than phase 1

#

But it’s harder than phase 2

rapid forum
#

you have less vision but you only need to keep track of hades

river vigil
#

ehem turn brightness up ehem

#

lmao

shadow kernel
#

They keep spawning and if you get hit by one it’s gg

rapid forum
#

lasers

small parrot
idle sorrel
#

but like phase 1 is harder than2 but not 3

small parrot
#

Turn it up too high, and you end up with the middle part, the important part, being too bright due to the vignette effect

#

Personally it's

#

Phase 1>3>2 for me

#

I still haven't beat EM4 with it

I tried

chrome wharf
#

it's fun if you get nice hammers

chrome wharf
#

next year's fathers day challenge

idle sorrel
#

its just a gamble if you get quick spin

#

and athena basic attack

small parrot
#

Wait Divine Strike?

idle sorrel
#

don't know the name

#

think so

#

and i don't play with the mod that can give yo precise first boon or hammer

void vigil
#

i would assume that most people play the game unmodded

small parrot
#

Why Divine Strike on Hades? What build would that go for? 2Bthink

raw herald
#

Might as well just go divine dash

small parrot
#

ye

#

Then Curse of Agony and Divine Flourish for ME

high island

Any Attack boon is fine on Hades Aspect tbh.

Heart Rend with Heartbreak Strike and Hunter-Dash AphroditeSticker

The goddess of love on Hades Spear is such an image

stoic violet
#

What stuff is good with Lucifer aspect? Just like, general info. I've got Zeus main attack so far and that's about it.

#

I can purge if that's bad

faint moon
#

Oh no, Zeus attack should actually be really good on Lucifer!

stoic violet
#

Okie :3 Idk what's good with the special attack though.... Zeus always seemed good for the rail attack in general though!

idle sorrel
#

how do you even unlock lucifer is it just by using rail?

mint coral
brisk trail
#

you want aphro or artemis on special

small parrot
#

Triple Bomb for Lucifer

manic bobcat
#

real men use Hazard Bomb Eris, with Butterfly keepsake

#

just the chadness alone is enough to win the game on 64 heat

short glen
#

Real chads use Gilgamesh

polar root
#

I die to theseus 😦

#

with gilgmesh

short glen
#

Do better

#

64 heat Gilgamesh is easy if you're good

#

I, however, am not good

lone kernel
#

can we get zag for smash bros

short glen
#

Yes

chrome wharf
lone kernel
short glen
#

No strategy, just win

stoic violet
#

That run was finished a while ago now. I swapped Zeus for a hero Aphrodite attack and I got Demeter special and dash plus two duo boons to make my cast duo Dionysus-Demeter and Dionysus-zeus to make some cold spiral that shoots lightning. Also triple bomb for special and I shredded rooms :3

little dragon
cyan jolt
#

Yes

#

Zagforsmash

little dragon
#

idk if like isaac got a thing in the story

cyan jolt
#

Make his specials be a random boon

#

From the many boons in the game

#

Very balanced

little dragon
#

triple death defiance

chrome wharf
#

I mean they gave Byleth 3 weapons so

cyan jolt
#

He's a god so he sould never lose a stock

short glen
#

Each stock he gets 3 death defiances, you have to kill him 9 times on standard 3 stock match

cyan jolt
#

Yes

#

And he is heaveweight

#

How op should his recovery be

short glen
#

Zag makes brawl metaknight look like brawl pichu

#

He gets like 8 dashes for some reason

little dragon
#

recovery is probs achiles spear. toss and zip

frank wagon
#

He gets to airdash

#

His directional airdodge is just an airdash

cyan jolt
#

He should be able to use all companions

short glen
# short glen He gets like 8 dashes for some reason

Some reason =you can already dash in smash, with the reflex thing he gets 2 dashes on his own, so 3, so then he picks up the hermes boon that adds more for +5 more I'm pretty sure that's possible for 8 dashes

wise oasis
#

He can summon antos to get the enemy to 3000%

short glen
#

He summons skelly and every bot falls for it 100% of the time but players don't

little dragon
#

i got 8 dashes with an epic splash dash before

cyan jolt
#

Woah

frank wagon
#

He can actually swap weapons unlike Byleth

cyan jolt
#

Oh yes

frank wagon
#

Smh

short glen
#

Which companion you summon is completely random

cyan jolt
#

He also needs a comeback mechanic

short glen
#

Basically Zag is incredibly broken but also incredibly RNG, the ultimate comp fighter, no one ever gets annoyed with RNG in these things

little dragon
#

he doesnt really need to swap weapons does he

#

with 4 smashes and 4 specials

#

could be like link

cyan jolt
#

He can summon up to 15 boons

#

All are random

short glen
#

Everyone loves random chance for potentially game ending scenarios where neither you nor the zag player knows what's going to happen each time

cyan jolt
#

He also can randomly kill you at 0%

#

And remove 2 stocks

little dragon
#

one of the few smash reveals that would actually hype me at this point

short glen
#

Same

#

The others are mostly meme picks, and also Waluigi who's kind of a meme pick but also possibly could actually get in, which is more than most of my meme picks

cyan jolt
#

What would be the most disappointing final smash dlc character

little dragon
#

ill rake reimu or 2b though

void vigil
#

if you want to discuss smash in general, please take it to #video-games shadesmile

#

What are you guys favorite track in the game

chrome wharf
#

I bought the game because of Lament of Orpheus

lone kernel
#

That Tartarus mini boss track

signal aspen
#

Unseen ones and in the blood are good

stoic flame
#

lament of orpheus is my fav as well

#

and the hymn of zagreus lol

brisk trail

i really like primordial chaos, that track has a nice vibe

stoic flame
#

probs the credits track

Heyya

#

probably half the people here are

stoic flame
#

🗿

#

this stuff rn

little dragon
#

pretty cool ost

#

dont like it as much as isaac though

#

its pretty much commonplace for indie roguelikes to have top osts these days

manic bobcat
#

yep

#

the sound department rarely disappoints me

little dragon
#

i was alot more impressed by the voice acting than the music

north mulch
#

Okay before I get it does stubborn defiance do exactly what I think it does or no

chrome wharf
#

1 revive to 30%, once per room

little dragon
#

once a room you get a 30% revive that refreshes when you go into new rooms

north mulch
#

Okay well that just seems

#

Broken

little dragon
#

death defiance stacks

#

you can trigger all 3 in 1 room

#

nah its not broken

chrome wharf
#

Hence 30%

little dragon
#

i dont recomend it at all

north mulch
#

Noted

stoic flame
#

nah it's godsend in high heat

#

when u have no heals

signal aspen
#

yeah

#

other than that its not used too much

little dragon
#

unless youre dying in 3+ normal rooms, DD will be better

#

since the main thing you die to is bosses

signal aspen
#

you should use it if you die in normal rooms a lot

stoic flame
#

yes

little dragon
#

even in high heat

stoic flame
#

i forgot about DD till like I cleared the game 5 times

little dragon
#

you need a ton of boss experience

stoic flame
#

then I started using DDs

little dragon
#

to barely take any hits

signal aspen
#

yeah

chrome wharf
#

Eventually you become like me, accidentally used SD in the last 2 low heat runs and still won

signal aspen
#

or you can just do a mirrorless run

short glen
#

You can, but why would you

signal aspen
#

fun

stoic flame
#

for the swag points

little dragon
#

you have to for max heat dont you

signal aspen
#

yeah

little dragon
#

signal aspen
#

wise oasis
#

ah

little dragon
#

should i take demeter room if literally all i want is rare crop

#

😔

#

my attack is rare

#

or zues room, when only my call does litghting

wise oasis

Which weapon?

little dragon
#

#

shadeeyeroll thats fine i guess

#

dont use special at all though

frank wagon

9th win let's go

chrome wharf

snow burst is good. nice AoE

signal aspen
frank wagon

||he just dips instead of fighting right?||

chrome wharf
#

frank wagon
#

chrome wharf

||take the chance to clear some prophecies||

#

but don't go too hard and end up dying before the final arena

frank wagon
#

I'm just trying to get the fourth aspect for the Twin fists

#

but I haven't gotten the Minotaur fight a couple runs in a row smh

#

void vigil
#

i have exactly 600 escape attempts on my main file, oh boy

#

boreal niche
#

So has anyone actually seen a fountain room or is it just between layers

signal aspen
#

you can get fountain rooms in all biomes

#

not just between layers

boreal niche
#

Huh, guess I’m just unlucky

little dragon
#

not in styx

#

but i guess 1 is built in

little dragon
#

#

thats another 4% from dio

remote void
#

Strong Drink is actually my favorite Dio boon

In The Blood Trap Remix inc

chrome wharf
#

finally got the dialogue for Merciful End and it was... Much less friendly than I expected

thin canyon
#

it's ares and athena, not even counting the game they were rivals, as both of them were gods/goddesses of/related to war (at least a part of athena was)

cyan tiger

hay deez

manic bobcat
#

nuts

boreal pier
#

What do bounties actually do to your weapon? Do they have any impact or are they just kinda... there?

manic bobcat
#

what kind of bounties are we talking about?

boreal pier
#

just beat the game twice in a row with the acorn keepsake as you recommended... thanks

#

uhh, i dont really know 😂 kind of confused by the entire idea of the bounties to be fair

signal aspen
#

Titan blood is used to level up weapon aspects, diamonds are used to buy work orders, and ambrosia is used to advance relationships

boreal pier
plucky latch
#

I think you need to do a run with the spear to unlock the aspects.

boreal pier
#

Ew

signal aspen
#

You have to unlock all weapons to unlock weapon aspects

plucky latch
#

Oh yeah. Im thinking of Hidden Aspects

signal aspen
#

After that you can interact with the weapons and buy aspects with the blood

boreal pier
#

Ohhh okay awesome

signal aspen
#

You can go to the house contractor and use your diamonds to buy work orders

boreal pier
#

So I'll just keep doing my thing until I get enough keys to get all weapons?

boreal pier
signal aspen
#

And once you complete a characters favor you can give them ambrosia

plucky latch
#

Always check the shop in your house too.

#

Usually has deals for keys

boreal pier
boreal pier
frosty plinth
#

Any purpose to holding on to ambrosia after maxing out all characters hearts? Or should I just start mass converting to titan blood

covert zenith
#

Themes

modern garnet
#

Companions love to eat ambrosia

manic bobcat
#

but don't convert everything

#

i think 5-6 is totally fine early game

frosty plinth
#

ahhh right companions. I've been only using one so I forgot about them

#

I keep feeling like I'm almost done with everything in the game minus getting all fish and beating heat 20 on every weapon and maxing every aspect

#

besides cosmetics I guess. But who really counts those lol

void vigil
#

i do :(

frosty plinth
#

I mean I enjoy cosmetics quite a lot, but I wouldn't say every variety of rug is required for 100% completion

#

I guess I just relate to lord hades quite a lot haha

void vigil
#

besides cosmetics though, getting all bounties takes a while

#

and it still doesnt give you enough titan blood to fully upgrade all the weapon aspects iirc

frosty plinth
#

I've just been setting EM4 and grinding that over and over to get the bounties done. Problem is I'm bad at some weapons and keep dying to hades. But I'm already done with like 4 of them and I like EM4 too much to turn it off

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

void vigil
#

ive only done em4 twice but i know its really difficult, high heat players only choose it at very high heat

frosty plinth
#

It's not too too bad if you don't have any other modifiers on. But as soon as you turn anything like FO or something along those lines it's... not great

void vigil
#

there are much easier choices if you want to win consistently at 20 heat

#

yeah thats fair

frosty plinth

by itself it's still real hard, but it's fun at least

void vigil
#

i didnt have FO on at all at 20 heat

short glen
#

I'm over here at 10 heat still unable to beat em4. Only partly because I've been getting bad luck. Also partly because I'm just not playing well

void vigil
#

i think i beat it with chiron right before the nerf lol

#

this is my 20 heat setup which i won with pretty consistently, and it worked on every weapon. i used stubborn defiance ofc because its the only way to heal with LC maxed

narrow hemlock
#

i think i went in em4 with fists while screaming in distress bc i had no idea what to expect from the fight the first attempt yeet

#

i remember nothing about it besides subjecting a friend to my yelling of whats going on there is so much happening

small parrot
#

DC 2 is free for Fists and Rail. Certainly easier to work with than LC4

#

Problem with running a universal Heat set up is that some weapons handle certain Pacts a lot easier

#

BP1 is also not too bad, same with JS1
CP1 as well

#

FO1

signal aspen
#

I don't think that you should use cp at low heat

#

Ignore the fact that I always use cp at any heat

small parrot
#

I mean, yeah, it depends on what you're comfortable with

#

But LC4 on low heat?

signal aspen
#

Yeah

#

No lc4 below 32

small parrot
#

TD3 might've been better

#

Especially with only EM2

#

My 20 Heat setup would go:
EM4
CF2
TD2/3 depending on weapon
DC1/2 depending on weapon
FO1

narrow hemlock
#

i mean if thats the setup alma was comfortable running, more power to them, lc4 or no

raw herald
#

EM4? No thanks

manic bobcat
#

Yeah i wouldn't em4

My first and only EM4 (10 heat) was ME Nemesis I believe

#

yup L5 Heroic Curse of Agony, 201 dmg

#

I got a question about unlocking the music in game, I'm at around 15 heat per weapon and I've played out through the epilogue but I haven't unlocked like a third of the songs

#

is there like something I'm avoiding in my runs or something?

#

I'm missing like all the songs after Final Expense minus the Unseen Ones and On the Coast

#

oof I've maxed/completed like everything else so it really bothers my OCD

hybrid urchin
#

So I have a question

#

I’m trying to get megs companion secret stash thingy, and I have her at 6 hearts but it’s not letting me give her ambrosia, she came into my room and talked about taking her stuff out. That’s all I have to do right, is there something I am missing?

chrome wharf
#

keep talking to her, it's RNG

hybrid urchin
#

Interesting

manic bobcat
chrome wharf
#

The songs will always be ??? s on the music stand, but they should be buyable

hybrid urchin
#

Another question, if I “beat the game” with let’s say 5 heat, and then “beat the game” again with a different weapon and same heat, will I get the rewards (like titan blood and diamonds) or just get darkness?

chrome wharf
#

Depends on how high your heat record is on that other weapon

#

Bounties are tracked per heat, per weapon

a big rat or a small rat

cobalt kiln

yeah those ones can be really rude if you don't have any range in your kit

cobalt kiln
#

also why was the good boi up there

modern garnet
#
  1. when you enter a room, look for the cure wells immediately. make a habit of doing this every time
  2. if you keep hitting the rat it will not spray poison. keep hitting the rat
  3. if the rat sprays poison, be careful not to step in the poison. the rat will walk away from the poison if you're far enough away.
  4. do not stand directly in front of the rat, it bites really hard

yeah but you didn't have any DDs left

(i know that math is bad)

manic bobcat

watch your language yo xD

This is kind of stupid, but I just now realized that you can get 3 Death Defiances (I had mine fully upgraded), so I would complete entire runs with not dying once because I was so scared LOL

You can go for aphro

Or artemis on attack and aphro dash

oh thanks

i was thinking to go with posei on attack but that sounds good

Poseidon hades aspect is fun

But it's not a good damage dealer

I've tried to make it work

pearl saddle

wait waht is aphro dash tho

rapid forum

The one where make the enemy weak

#

I guess considering you haven't played in a while athena dash is a way to go

pearl saddle
#

eh athena dash was good at the start but i stopped using it quickly

#

wait could i use ares as cast and get tracking cuz of artemis on attack

and also when should i use support, i forgot which bosses i use em on (i have shady with 5 uses)

And punishing sweep does not buff cast

I like Ares’ dash

stoic flame

its alright

frank wagon

Ares dash is really good with other things from what I've seen but the aoe from Poseidon's dash and slamming people into walls is super effective

Which is why I like it so much

ares dash used to be my favourite but then i started using splash dash
