So, as much as i love the base model for Zag, i feel like we should be able to change up his clothing/appearance to some degree. Could be simple reskins to complete overhauls. Would love to run around the underworld rocking some Hoplite inspired armor. Is this something we could see in the future? Is it something people apart from me would like ...

thorn marsh
#

it'd take so much work

remote void
#

Oh I thought you were talking about the DLC thing lol

normal moat
#

Fair play to them I guess at least they’re not scamming

paper harness
#

the game is much better and has more content than most "AAA" titles that have DLC

narrow hemlock
#

OH as far as dlc they haven't said anything officially but it's probably unlikely

#

when 1.0 rolled around all they said was that it was too early for them to say what plans they had for the future

normal moat
#

I think they should at least update the start screen it doesn’t reflect the greatness of this game and overall looks a bit btec

paper harness
#

would much rather pay for a complete game like this, than have DLC... Hate how AAA's have trained us to expect and "want" DLC as consumers

normal moat
#

DLC at the start was good I think it’s extra content after the games ended but know they all plan to have dlc and take features away instead of adding new stuff later

remote void
#

Free Updates > DLC imo

normal moat
#

True true

#

Any of them on the horizon then

remote void
#

No official updates yet still

chrome wharf
#

A nice intro animation would be cool

remote void
#

The game trailer would be a good addition while the game loads in the background

chrome wharf
#

also story replay, and replaying conversions you accidentally mashed through

normal moat
#

This game didn’t get much exposure did it I only heard about it through big man moistcritical

remote void
#

Oh, I learned of it though Bricky's Alpha gameplay lol

chrome wharf
#

I didn't appreciate how nice that was until other games didn't have it

remote void
#

Or maybe beta? I forgot which

soft ridge
#

guys is there a multiplayer mod for the game?

narrow hemlock
soft ridge
#

aighty thanks

normal moat
remote void
#

Wait there's a modding server

#

👀

soft ridge
chrome wharf
#

I heard of it from my causal gamers discord lol

#

The game's existence that is

normal moat
#

I play on switch anyway so can’t do it anyways

chrome wharf
#

yeah people modded in multiplayer for hollow knight, it's deliciously janky at times

soft ridge
#

cause a friend who got me to buy hollow knight wanted to know if hades had a multiplayer version too and I was like "lets find out"

normal moat
#

Boys what do we think of stubborn defiance

wise oasis
#

very good at higher heat

remote void
#

Good for high heat

signal aspen
#

I only use it at high heat

remote void
#

I use DD though for regular runs

wise oasis
#

^ its worse than death defiance if you're not going for high heat

normal moat
#

I don’t have heat on so should I just get the second level of death defiance

wise oasis
#

yeah

remote void
#

Yeah

signal aspen
#

DDs are better in most situations

normal moat
#

Aight sound

remote void
#

3 stacks of DD + Lucky tooth is pretty good for bosses

paper harness
#

acorn > lucky tooth in terms of HP saved in boss fights iirc

remote void
#

Yeah

normal moat
#

Who gives acorn

signal aspen
#

Eurydice

remote void
#

She's the Story character in Asphodel

chrome wharf
#

Lady in Lavaland

normal moat
#

I don’t think I met eurodice

#

Where is she

wise oasis
#

asphodel

signal aspen
#

Asphodel

remote void
#

Asphodel

chrome wharf
#

take the (!) option in Asphodel

normal moat
#

Oh yeah lava

thorn marsh
#

acorn is really good

normal moat
#

Also what keepsake does Nyx give

remote void
#

The shawl

thorn marsh
#

black shawl

#

not that good

remote void
#

It's meh

thorn marsh
#

25% backstab damage

normal moat
#

I’ll give that a miss then

remote void
#

Well hold on there

normal moat
#

Yeah sounds pup

remote void
#

You'll still want the keepsake for story later on

chrome wharf
#

You don't need it for story?

normal moat
#

Wha I didn’t know keepsakes played into story

remote void
chrome wharf
#

just give nectar to Nyx for story

remote void
#

I mean, black shawl is your one nectar keepsake so

chrome wharf
#

there's One keepsake that helps the main story along (even then it's optional) , and some give special dialogue

normal moat
#

Yeah ok didn’t know I was holding story back

paper harness
#

there's so much story behind so many different things, my advice is to just play the game and "do stuff"

normal moat
#

I’m currently trying to get the spear head and the gods favour keepsakes for duo boons

#

And now the acorn

#

Oh what build should I go for with the shield have to use it for more darkness

signal aspen
#

Aspect?

normal moat
#

No aspect

#

Still haven’t got to that yet

signal aspen
#

You can go aphro or artemis attack

paper harness
#

i feel like that thart part in the game, i worried less about builds, and more about just getting boons in general to make me more powerful

signal aspen
#

With aphro attack if you get zeus call you can get smoldering air which is a really good duo boon

paper harness
#

and learning the attack patterns of enemies

signal aspen
#

And you also get 30% damage reduction with it

paper harness
#

cause w/o the mirror upgs it was so hard to even see duo boons

normal moat
#

You mean the weakness boons yeah

#

Had Zeus call last run and sold it on accident

#

The big sad

signal aspen
#

F

#

If you get zeus call you should look for jolted and double strike

#

And if you get double strike you can get the legendary boon from zeus

soft echo
#

Random item idea: Hand-Mirror if Darkness, where you can change like 2 or 3 mirror options in between sections of the Underworld orsomething, or maybe a gamble item that changes 2 or 3 options. Idk

normal moat
#

Yeah I’ll work on afro zues then if they are in my 4 god rotation

#

What can I do with Artemis then if I can’t get Afro

signal aspen
#

You should look for hunters mark and maybe aphro dash for heartrend

normal moat
#

Already got divine dash

#

Maybe I’ll give a cast build a go never done one of them before

signal aspen
#

Look for athena special to get deadly reversal

normal moat
#

Will do boss

#

Anyone recommend any good cast builds

#

I know Artemis has one

#

With her burst boon

thorn marsh
#

uh

#

hunting blades

tardy slate
#

Hi sorry if this has been asked before but will there be cross saves from switch to pc game pass? Thanks

wise oasis
thorn marsh
wise oasis
#

oh

#

kek

thorn marsh
#

so

#

hunting blades

wise oasis
#

then yeah hunting blades

soft echo
normal moat
#

What are hunting blades

thorn marsh
#

the arty/ares duo

soft echo
#

Duo with Ares and Arty

normal moat
#

Is that ares

wise oasis
#

yeah, ares cast

normal moat
#

By arty you mean Artemis yeah

soft echo
#

It's blade rift but it follows and does more damage

wise oasis
#

getting ares legendary is also good for it

normal moat
#

That’s sounds pretty cool

soft echo
#

Yeah

#

And black metal

normal moat
#

Pray for me brothers I need them in my god rotation

narrow hemlock
# tardy slate Hi sorry if this has been asked before but will there be cross saves from switch...

Does the Xbox Game Pass version of Hades support cross-saves with any other version?
If you have Hades on Game Pass, your save data should transfer to other versions of Hades on Game Pass. For example, if you play Hades on Game Pass for Windows, and also on Game Pass on Xbox Series X, your save data should transfer between versions automatically. However, your save data will not transfer to any other versions, including Steam.

according to #hades-faq

wise oasis
#

once you unlock aspects its really good with achilles spear

thorn marsh
normal moat
#

Nah just got Athena so far 3 candidates left

tardy slate
#

Thanks for the reply

soft echo
narrow hemlock
normal moat
#

I know but I only got one

#

And it’s athenas that I’m using right now to lvl it up

soft echo
#

Huh

tardy slate
#

Might get it there instead

soft echo
#

Also does anyone know the best flare on beowulf?

thorn marsh
#

flood or passion

signal aspen
#

Passion for damage

soft echo
#

Ok cool I've been using passion

thorn marsh
#

flood is great for bigger AOE and more consistent mirage

#

passion is good for beeg number

normal moat
soft echo
#

Aphro flare

normal moat
#

And also my second god is Poseidon things ain’t looking good boys

normal moat
thorn marsh
#

aphrodite cast but the exclusive one for beowulf

soft echo
#

Cast on Beowulf Aspect = Flare

signal aspen
#

Beowulf is the hidden aspect of shield

soft echo
#

That for some reason Chaos hates giving out

normal moat
#

Ahh

soft echo
#

I like having Arty attack on Beowulf because it can do BEEG numbers

signal aspen
#

And it gets you mirage shot

soft echo
#

True

#

I still prefer Chaos just because I hate Beo special

signal aspen
#

What

thorn marsh
#

ur not specialing on beowulf LOL

soft echo
#

I know dw dw

#

I just like shield special

normal moat
#

Yo is charged shot any good

signal aspen
#

Yeah it's the best

normal moat
#

Sick

#

Loves to hear it

thorn marsh
#

charged shot is quite good

normal moat
#

Charging can be a bit messy I think

#

I mean I can already dash so what’s the point

#

I’ve encountered a wild Sisyphus what wears does he provide

#

If given nectar

signal aspen
#

Shattered shackle

#

It gives your attacks extra damage if they aren't empowered by a boon

normal moat
#

Oh yeah I heard of that one

#

Think I’ll give it a miss he’s easy to get to and I only have one nectar left

chrome wharf
#

save 1 for each god, after that just give whoever you like

normal moat
#

Yeah I know trying to get ares or the guy who gives out the spear head or Acorn

normal moat
#

Oh no I got parting shot for my duo boon

#

Does this mean I can’t get any other duo boon now

#

I haven’t picked it up yet

signal aspen
#

No

#

You can get a lot of duo boons

normal moat
#

Still probably will ditch parting shot looks dead

signal aspen
#

What are the other options

normal moat
#

Life affirmation or crush shot

#

Probably do life affirmation because I want to leave my cast boon open for a better option

signal aspen
#

Yeah

#

And life affirm can get you lots of hp

normal moat
#

Big brain

#

Only big brains in this part of Discord please

signal aspen
#

Ok I will leave

wise oasis
#

muck is biggest brain

normal moat
#

No you did good

#

He did very good

#

Muck = good boi = big brain

#

It’s in the dictionary look it up

Bad choice

#

Back to using Rama I guess

normal moat
#

Can one god give more than one keep sake because I swear Afro had a weakness keapsake but I got a different one

raw herald
#

No, every god gives one keepsake

normal moat
#

Give me a min

brisk trail
#

I found a bug on PS4. You can't use Share Play

normal moat
#

Nvm dunno what I was on about

#

Boys which is better triple jab, charged skewer or flurry jab

thorn marsh
#

flurry jab

#

no contest

normal moat
#

I though spin attack was good though because of aoe

thorn marsh
#

f l u r r y j a b

normal moat
#

Fair enough I will trust you on this

thorn marsh
#

flurry jab is a massive damage increase

#

and spinnign on spear just isnt good

raw herald
#

For flurry jab, try holding attack while dashing around

#

Youll do quite a bit of damage

normal moat
#

Oooh

raw herald
#

And flurry jab gives a ton of aoe anyway

normal moat
#

I like

thorn marsh
#

flurry jab is the best spear hammer

raw herald
#

It's the best hammer

#

Actually maybe charged shot

#

Top 3 easily

thorn marsh
#

definitely

normal moat
#

Yep can’t believe I almost missed it

thorn marsh
#

cshot flurry jab clockets Kappa

normal moat
#

No idea what that means

thorn marsh
#

charged shot flurry jab and cluster rockets

#

they are hammers

normal moat
#

I assume they’re the best

thorn marsh
#

they're all very good

raw herald
#

For top play

#

If you're new id recommend trying a bunch of them out anyway

normal moat
#

Should I remap my buttons it’s a bit awkward holding attack and dashing

#

I can’t cast well then

raw herald
#

You can do that, I've never felt the need

#

I prefer moving cast to left bumper

normal moat
#

You might be on to something

#

Give it a bash anyway

thorn marsh
#

i feel like u only need to rebind cast for cast aspects

manic bobcat
#

i think im the only person here who have dash on B and attack on A

normal moat
#

Why would you put attack on A you psychopath

#

Get away from me

manic bobcat
#

A is for main interactions
A is jump in most platformers
A is attack on most action games
=> A should be attack
B is for side actions
B is running in most platformers
B is dodging in most action games
=> B should be dash

#

it is you people who are weird

normal moat
#

You’ll not convince me heretic

#

By the way does holding attack and dashing count as a dash strike

#

Because I’m looking at slippery lunge right now and that would make a nice combo

#

Anyone have a clue or what boys

manic bobcat
normal moat
#

Holding

#

I could also pick up slippery grasp but I don’t think I need the cast

manic bobcat
#

strike and dash strike have different animations, too

#

strike is a stab while dash strike is more of a "sweep" on spear

thorn marsh
#

well a dash strike is when u press attack and dash

#

so if ur holding attack and dashing ur attacking while dashing

#

so its a dash attack

normal moat
#

Sick that means it gets +57% dmg sick

manic bobcat
#

you can always look at the animation also

normal moat
#

Ok it works and then some

#

Big numbers

#

Boys it’s very strong

#

Jeeez

#

Love finding new stuff out

small parrot
#

Who doesn't put attack on A

#

What in God's name is that heresy

remote void
#

Dash is A

chrome wharf

#

Bro

#

I have completed hades 7 bounty

#

Going up now

modern garnet
#

Ooh, you'll be unlocking the first statue soon!

normal moat
#

Fellas got another dilemma serrated point, vicious skewer or exploding launcher

#

Exploding launcher right? I also have weakness on my special so don’t know it that will make it spread

cyan tiger
#

would personally go for serrated point

#

but it depends what aspect ur using

normal moat
#

Don’t have em unlocked yet

#

But with serrated point my range on the dash is poor isn’t that bad for dangerous situations

modern garnet
#

Serrated point has that weakness yeah, you'd have to be more careful

#

But spear has range anyway

normal moat
#

So not exploding launcher

modern garnet
#

Exploding launcher is strong

normal moat
#

I have weakness on it as well

#

Hard choice

modern garnet
#

Yeah go for that if you're nervous about the dashes

normal moat
#

Iam a bit because I’m not careful I literally just spam dashes everywhere

#

But the 3 strikes would be madd damage and I could just get another dash from Hermes but that’s not a certainty

cyan tiger
#

if u have divine dash the shortened dash range isn't too bad

thorn marsh
#

@normal moat sad no flurry

normal moat
#

Nah I did get it

#

Mucked up the run though shame was having a blast with the build

#

What’s the best aspect for the spear

signal aspen
#

Achilles

normal moat
#

Would it be ok with flurry jab

signal aspen
#

It's the best hammer for achilles

normal moat
#

Because when I use flurry jab I kinda ignore my special attack

#

Yeah alright Achilles it is then

#

How do I unlock the last aspect

signal aspen
thorn marsh
#

or with +dashes exhaust all ur dashes and then special

normal moat
#

Smort

#

Wait it won’t let me unlock Achilles

#

Do I have to buy the previous one or something

thorn marsh
#

how much titan blood do u have?

normal moat
#

5

thorn marsh
#

i dont think u need to buy the previous one but i have no idea

normal moat
#

It’s locked for me anyways for some reason I can get the first one but not any others

thorn marsh
#

then just buy da first one

modern garnet
#

the lock means you can't select it

#

If you click the lock it'll unlock

normal moat
#

So do I buy the first one for sure because I’d rather not waste the blood

#

Oh

thorn marsh
#

oh

#

right

#

yeah

modern garnet
#

Did it work

normal moat
#

Yep

thorn marsh
#

why didnt u try unlocking it first LOL

normal moat
#

Don’t ask me

#

My head is minced

#

Jesus Christ I’m a moron

chrome wharf
#

If you just unlocked something and regret it, quit out and reload

#

the game only saves if you go in/out of a room

normal moat
#

Nah I like the spear and if this is the best option I’m happy

#

Although it is a bit hard to dash strike and then stubble your fingers about for a rage rush

chrome wharf
#

Achilles? Best Spear

normal moat
#

Yep

chrome wharf
#

rush, stab stab stab

normal moat
#

When used with flurry jab I dash a lot and I’m just saying it’s a bit difficult to switch to rage rush afters

chrome wharf
#

laugh as Chaos nerfs your movement/dash

thorn marsh
#

or as i said with +dashes

#

exhaust all dooshes

#

and then rush

normal moat
#

How do you do a +dash

normal moat
thorn marsh
#

its a boon

thorn marsh
normal moat
#

Ooh that be good

thorn marsh
#

its not good

#

its a curse

#

ur lowers ur dash range and movement speed

#

its terrible

normal moat
#

Also isn’t having one big dash bad there’s less manoeuvrability

thorn marsh
#

?

normal moat
thorn marsh
#

what ability?

#

+dashes?

normal moat
#

Yeah

thorn marsh
#

i mean

#

it lowers ur dash range

#

so its still very bad

#

+dashes doesnt make it much better

small parrot
#

huh

thorn marsh
#

im very much beyond c o n f u s e d

normal moat
#

I thought +dash turns your 2 dashes into one big one so you can’t moved about as erratically

thorn marsh
#

no*

#

it just gives u more dashes

#

its a hermes boon

small parrot
#

No.

thorn marsh
#

+1 +2 +3 +4

normal moat
#

Oh yeah I was looking for that

thorn marsh
#

common rare epic or heroic

small parrot
#

Greater Reflex increases the number of times you can dash in a row

#

Stacking with the Mirror talent and Gilgamesh

thorn marsh
#

if u see +2 or +3 dashes probably always take it

normal moat
#

Wait now what’s Gilgamesh

thorn marsh
#

+1 dashes doesnt do much

thorn marsh
normal moat
#

Oh

#

Fists are cool too got my furthest with them unexpectedly

thorn marsh
#

nice

normal moat
#

Anyway I really want to try a cast build but I never get the opportunity they look really fun

thorn marsh
#

just try out hunting blades/crystal clarity ig

#

those work well with achilles

small parrot
#

For Cast, use Hera (Bow), Achilles (Spear), or Beowulf (Shield)

normal moat
#

Will do what’s crystal clarity though

thorn marsh
#

the duo boon between artemis and demeter

#

demeter cast

normal moat
#

Exited to try them for tomorrow

Yea sadly no cross save in xbox and ps4

#

Sorry to hear that buddy

chrome wharf
# normal moat What you mean?

Chaos has boons that temporarily lower your dash distance or move speed, but with Achilles Spear you are mostly moving using the spear rush, so those drawbacks don't affect you as much as with other weapons

#

hey all quick question! once all is sorted regarding a sexy smooth launch to console, can we expect more content (dlc/more story etc.) or what’s the roadmap looking like going forward for hades ^-^

modern garnet
#

based on the studio's past history, there might be a small content update like 6 months from now, and then that's it

#

but hades is a bigger game than they've previously made, and they haven't said anything about it, so

#

could be anything

quaint wind
#

so far the team hasn't said what their plans are

narrow hemlock
#

they haven't done dlc outside of their first title, bastion, which was also published by wb, not supergiant. so given the studio's history up until now, while dlc could certainly happen one day due to the game's success, it's also unlikely. all we've ever been told was that it was too early for them to say what their future plans were, and this was when the game hit its full release last fall

halcyon zinc
#

Is there Cross Save from PC to Xbox?

manic bobcat
#

Yes if you have Game Pass. Otherwise, no.

halcyon zinc
#

And I guess Steam saves can't go to PC Game Pass

manic bobcat
#

It can

#

You need to do some tinkering though

When they implemented cross save to the switch could you keep your pc and switch saves or did 1 overwrite the other?

you can link, cross save/transfer, and unlink to keep two separate saves

Thanks

hollow mica
#

Have you found enjoyable boon combos? theirs duo boons that change the runs

limber dew
#

My first 2 runs were pretty bad, but then I unlocked the bow and I did much better

#

Nothing yet

hollow mica
#

ohh if you can, when you earn titan blood upgrade the bows Chiron form

#

It makes all your special attacks hit the same target from you basic attack, really fun

limber dew
#

That sounds really good

hollow mica
#

yup! i recently changed to the final bow, Rama. Alot of fun. the Basic piercies and is wide, with the special shooting 3 shots that bounce/pierce

#

have you only used bows?

limber dew

First 2 runs were the sword

#

3rd was bow

Awh, theres alot of options to choose from. Each weapon has 4 forms, you use Zag at start

man i like the game so far but the way the first boss just does an AOE then a dash right after without any animation to signal it is cheep af. im not enjoying the fight

stiff olive
#

Also hi everyone

hoary schooner
#

well the duck before yes but its too fast. and since i already dashed to avoid the aoe its kinda...jank

stiff olive
#

It's not that fast you can get two dashes. If it's bothering you that much get the double dash thing

#

This game is great veryweary

It's so good

I didnt know the pool of purging gets rid of boons

limber dew
#

You're selling them for money

stiff olive
#

Yes i know that now

#

But i dont read

#

Apparently i got to 2nd boss in 6 runs so thats pog

limber dew
#

I just beat the 3rd boss on my 8th or 9th run

#

Not sure

#

I died

That 4th area is tough

wise oasis
#

Poseidon is very very good for it

limber dew
#

I mainly had Aphrodite stuff

#

And health steal with the sword

wise oasis
#

Cursed and flurry slash are pretty good on sword, and aphrodite boons are pretty good too, just keep at it

normal moat
#

Why is it so hard to get Beowulf

normal moat
#

Don’t even know what that is

wise oasis
#

you can facetank a lot of stuff with the attackspeed and heals

thorn marsh
#

cursed plus flurry just makes a very awkard standing slash pattern

#

i cant imagine that feeling good to playh

thorn marsh
#

have u done all that?

normal moat
#

Oh it says that I need at least my bloods put into shields shields so which one do I get before Beowulf

thorn marsh
#

have u already revealed guan yu?

normal moat
#

Yeah I seen the thing but nah I haven’t got guan yu

#

I’ve been on the same floor as hades but haven’t got to him yet

#

And to get guan yu I need 5 other aspects unlocked as well

thorn marsh
#

well u cant unlock guan yu until u fight hades

#

u dont have to win

#

but u need to fight him first

normal moat
#

I which shield aspect do I get for now then boys

normal moat
thorn marsh
#

all the shield aspects besides beowulf and zeus i think are terrible

#

but thats my opinion

normal moat
#

Still you have to invest into 5 aspects for the spear and 5 blood into shields so I need to know the least worst one for Beowulf

thorn marsh
#

zeus shield is hord

granite ether
#

not quite
you need to have blood invested into 5 non-zag aspects (weapon doesn't matter) for spear hidden aspect

normal moat
normal moat
thorn marsh
#

i said hard

#

just typed it weird

#

zeus shield is very hard to play even decently imo

thorn marsh
normal moat
thorn marsh
#

like shove 5 to the side

#

so u can get it all and just not play shield

#

and instantly get beowulf

#

minimal shield playing LOL

normal moat
#

What

#

I only have 4 Titan bloods left

thorn marsh
#

?

#

h u h ?

#

im saying

#

get some more titan blood

#
  1. reveal guan yu
#

have some titan blood left over for shield

#

so u can put 5 into it from the start

#

and then go talk to chaos with it equipped

normal moat
#

Yeah but got to have 5 weapon aspects unlocked to get guan yu

spiral breach
#

hi

normal moat
#

Hoi

thorn marsh
#

so do that and instead of instantly spending new titan blood just save it for when u have 5

spiral breach
#

would like to know why the game so good

hoary schooner
#

man the sword flurry skill is garbage

thorn marsh
hoary schooner
#

it just reduces damage and fails to stun

#

combine that with bomb skellys randomly exploding

granite ether
#

imo, invest blood into aspects you'll think you'll play that are not Baewulf, you'll eventually get to unlocking hidden spear in time
if you haven't fought Hades yet, you won't be able to unlock it anyways friendly

hoary schooner
#

its cancer

spiral breach
#

skellys are a problem for me

hoary schooner
#

its an ok game but im just gonna stick to curse of the dead gods. less annoying honestly

spiral breach
#

is there any thing to permanently increase hp

granite ether
# thorn marsh y e p

flurry is really good with Zeus on attack (assuming you're referring to the sword hammer)

hoary schooner
#

centar hearts up max hp

normal moat
#

what 4 other weapon aspects so you recommend then I don’t want to waste blood

hoary schooner
#

it just drops so fast

#

and since enemy's get hyper armor even when they dont have gold armor bars

thorn marsh
hoary schooner
#

its frustrating

normal moat
#

Also if I don’t have the 5 weapons ascpects unlocked before fighting hades I won’t have to do it again with the will I

granite ether
#

nah, just have to reach the fight once (outcome don't matter)

spiral breach
#

just how much am i missing out

normal moat
#

Should I trade my ambrosia for blood I got one so far

hoary schooner
#

the first boss needs to have a longer pause before dash its a noob trap and just annoying. the witches need to stop spamming range attacks when im just beating them up like its nothing

thorn marsh
#

u dont need the trade

hoary schooner
#

and the skulls can hit outside there own animation

granite ether
#

it's safe to trade a couple, but make sure to save most of them

normal moat
#

Ah ok

#

Still though I might as well get one shield aspect now I need to unlock 4 more weapons later anyway and I’ll spend more blood on it after I get spear

#

Or am I wrong

swift mist

Probably a dumb question but I haven't found an answer by looking around yet.

I have the game on Switch and have done a lot of progress, but I want to get in on PS4, so I'm wondering if the cross-save thingy works from Switch to PS4.

ancient crest
#

@granite lagoon it does not

thin canyon
granite lagoon

steam and epic are the 2 most popular pc digital storefronts

so putting it on gog wouldn't really do much

except make pirating it easy

cause it's drm free

that's the gimmick of gog

it would do more harm to the sales

technical limitations

#

on the systems' end, just too different - I believe that's what SGG has said for some time now

#

same w/ PS4 and PS5 saves I believe

tranquil gull
#

o7 you gotta do all of it again

ancient crest
#

now someone on Reddit did find information on transferring PC saves to Xbox but it's unofficial and I don't want to link there because obviously it will have spoilers for new players—you should be able to find it easy enough if you search

enjoy the ride! I'm replaying now after thousands of runs and over 500k darkness and it's great to return

# ancient crest same w/ PS4 and PS5 saves I believe

Dammit, I'm also planning to get myself a PS5 if I ever find one.

Welp, it's not like I already bought Minecraft and Binding of Isaac on multiple consoles and still enjoyed starting from scratch multiple times.

Honestly I would've gone much further into the game if my Joy-Cons weren't drifting like hell, so I would've played the game on handeld mode a lot more often.

thin canyon
# tranquil gull im eager for more content

supergiant is pretty infamous for not adding dlc to their games (this is both a good thing and a bad thing, as while you know you're getting the full package when you buy the game, you also know it's done when you finish the game)

#

however this just means their games dont have pre-made dlc omegalul

granite lagoon
#

If I'm gonna play it on a big screen, might as well be on something where my controller doesn't misbehave, where I can get achievements and where I can stream it.

#

Nintendosaurus too old fashioned to put Twitch on Switch.

unkempt vale
#

Well the only Rogue-Lite I remember playing aside from Hades is Darkest Dungeon, but I didn't know what it was at the time and ur team constantly dying was to much of a heartbreak for me. Get connected easily.But I'm LOVING this game so far.

ancient crest

I recommend Switch Pro controller

unkempt vale

But this game has so much more potential in terms of skills/abilities and stuff it's insane 😛

That's just an invitation to get a Nintendo handeld stolen from me for the third time.

do you mean the physical edition? Because there is a physical switch edition, which released before the other console versions

can somebody explain to me why there are so many negative/sad reactions to the ps5/Xbox announcement?

crisp fractal

does hades run at 120fps on the ps5/xbox?

austere kite

I remember when FPS wasn't a thing.

crisp fractal
reef zodiac
#

I doubt the game will run at 120fps unless it runs that fast on PC

hollow hawk
#

It runs at like 400 fps on most modern pc's i believe

real thorn
#

Aspect of Arthur, I’m convinced it’s not only my fav but a bit broken…

hollow hawk
#

Its not a heavy game

crisp fractal
#

there's no limits to how well something can run on pc, if it's a good enough pc you can get like 400fps

main cliff
#

damn, it sucks that PC doesn't get physical releases anymore

reef zodiac
lilac swift
#

me like speed, me no like arthur

vapid narwhal
#

you can easily get 60fps on something like a recent intel iGPU

#

not 1080p but close

#

any semi relevant dedicated GPU can run hades at 1080p 60fps no problem

hollow hawk
#

^

void vigil
#

I am pretty sure it is targeting 60 fps on all consoles

vapid narwhal

probably as old as 8-10 years ago

slower than other with hermes right

thorn marsh

😎

hollow hawk

honestly arthur can be fast too

lilac swift

sword is in general prob my least fav tho

hollow hawk
#

Big damage kill enemy quick

thorn marsh
#

yeah

#

but

reef zodiac
thorn marsh
#

arthur can be fast

hollow hawk
#

arthur dash strikes are fast enough

reef zodiac
#

It can be fast ish but it’s always gonna be slower than most other aspects

hollow hawk
lilac swift
#

I pretty much only play sword with poseidon dash and dash and special everywhere

#

looks fun

hollow hawk
#

try sword with artemis attack and aphrodite special

#

And go for heartrend

thorn marsh
#

or do ME

hollow hawk
#

Its quite the damage

#

merciful end is nice too yeah

vapid narwhal
#

who needs speed when you just whap things with 1K+ crits

real thorn
lilac swift
#

"i like speed" - i said as my most used weapon is shield

granite plinth
#

for sword you have to only use dash strike and it's pretty good

thorn marsh
#

arthur definitely isnt 'broken'

real thorn
#

If I want speed I whip out the bow

thorn marsh
#

compared to the good good stuff in hades arthur doesnt compare

granite plinth
#

if u use normal attacks with the sword ytou are griefing your self

lilac swift
#

preach

real thorn
#

I’m grieving my opponents because they die in like 2-3 hits

hollow hawk
#

especially hidden shield aspect

lilac swift
#

i use chaos and zeus lol

hollow hawk
#

every aspect in this game is fast

#

except gilgamesh

real thorn
#

I always scream Beowulf when I use that shield. The build I looked up was insane

hollow hawk
#

Chaos is hard to go fast with yeah, zeus can be fine though

granite plinth
#

the fastest chaos i had was with a zeus build

reef zodiac
granite plinth
#

but it was insanely highroll

thorn marsh
#

+dashes help with dat

reef zodiac
#

Maybe so

hollow hawk
#

Arthur special literally slows enemies to a crawl

#

And gives dmg reduction

reef zodiac
#

With FO1+ you often can’t place the special

hollow hawk
#

You can dash in between in

#

So you special, then dash towards enemy

real thorn
hollow hawk
#

It lands at the end of your dash

#

arthur is bad at handling fo2, but fo1 is fine

#

try it with artemis attack or athena attack

reef zodiac
real thorn
#

Oh has anybody ever used the tidal dash build with lightning? A guy I know used it and it was shredding hades

hollow hawk
#

depends on your experience with the game @reef zodiac

reef zodiac
#

Yeah I know

hollow hawk
lilac swift
#

hehe on paper

hollow hawk
#

lighting strike with tidal dash

hollow hawk
real thorn
hollow hawk
#

The timing is not hard at all imo

lilac swift
#

yeah i really just wanted to say on paper

hollow hawk
#

understandable

high island
#

Excalibur is still amazing for 32. It's much higher where it falls off. And those heats are not relevant for like 99.9% of players.

hollow hawk
#

true^^

vapid narwhal
#

20 or below any aspect works

hollow hawk
#

32 or below any aspect works

reef zodiac
vapid narwhal
#

yup

hollow hawk
#

Or if you're good, 50 and below any aspect works

vapid narwhal
#

for average players just climbing heat, aspect doesnt matter

#

all down to personal preference

reef zodiac
hollow hawk
#

theres people who've cleared 50 with every single aspect in the game

#

Like 3 of them

#

Lol

lilac swift
#

i mean...

hollow hawk
#

Its very hard indeed

dusky wedge
lilac swift
#

._.

reef zodiac
hollow hawk
#

True

#

But just to say, all aspects in the game can do good

#

Its just your skill and dedication with it that matters

vapid narwhal
#

some are def more viable than others past a certain level

#

but that specific level is irrelevant for most people

#

and the game is not balanced around that level

hollow hawk
#

All aspects in the game have a sub 7 minute time as well

reef zodiac
#

Sure it’s possible but it takes a lot more to make Guan Yu work at 50 than say Rama

hollow hawk
#

if you wanna talk speed

thorn marsh
high island
#

We don't know what the average player does. The players that come to this community to discuss strategies etc. are already a very dedicated minority.

hollow hawk
#

yeah^

#

I think the subreddit is decent example of average but most people there too are pretty experienced i think

dusky wedge
#

Well, I’m still pretty sure when we say average, it’s still a bit lower than what this server thinks it is

real thorn
#

Guan yu feel like one of those higher risk but big reward kinda aspect to me

dusky wedge
#

Especially when this server is a dedicated minority of the playerbase

hollow hawk
#

The special is a lot of damage and aoe

#

the dash strikes too

hollow hawk
real thorn
high island
dusky wedge
#

True

Does Hades have good haptics or adaptive triggers on ps5

#

gy is actually pretty good for heat volfredthink

high island
#

Charged Skewer is.

reef zodiac
#

Also Aphrodite special is perfect to decrease damage since you have so little health

whole fractal
#

Do they utilize the dualshock speaker at all for voicelines like they did with transistor. I loved that feature so much.

real thorn
#

Oh and for regular spear I found that flurry jab plus Hermès attack speed boost. Slap on a boon like Zeus lightning, jolting… and it becomes a stick of many pains

vapid narwhal
#

actually, nearly half of all Steam players at least cleared the game once

reef zodiac
thorn marsh
#

flurry jab is one of the best hammers in the game

dusky wedge
#

What I think about GY is that the move set alone is OP, that it deserves the health reduction, hence a really appropriate high risk high reward weapon. When we’re talking roguelites, healing is a scarce thing, and GY came with healing as default move set

thorn marsh
#

standing next to cshot and clockets ooh and dedge

real thorn
#

I never liked the spear until I discovered that one. It’s life changing

reef zodiac
vapid narwhal
#

and nearly 1/4 made it to the credits which is 10 clears

real thorn
#

Good statistics there

dusky wedge
#

GY does breaks conventional weapon designs in roguelites

reef zodiac
#

Double edge is my favorite hammer because it just makes everything so much easier

Locks you out of dash strikes, since dash strikes doesn’t heal you with the hammer on, only normal attacks do, but normal attacks is clunky on sword

Or how I play my sword in this game lol

just use the basic sword

#

upgrade it to lvl 5

if ur gonna use the basic sword literally just play nemesis

You can cross save between Xbox and PC if you have Game Pass

So if gamepass can connect to the pc save does that mean that the switch save can be chained to the Xbox gamepass one?
