with divine strike, everything is a shield

arctic oasis
I didn’t really vibe with the rail for a while
Now it’s one of my faves
Same with the bow
mint coral
i didnt use the shield much until the 4th aspect, gotta love the nuke that it is
dusk yoke
I get the extra dash so I have 3 dashes with invul and reflect, and tripple nuke.. just zip around nuking everything
fun times
arctic oasis
And Theseus and asterius used to be a huge wall for me
dusk yoke
true
arctic oasis
My fave is the fists
dusk yoke
once you learn bosses patterns tho, they are all pretty easy tbh
fists is fun, but the uppercut animation is so slow
leaves you vulnerable
mint coral
dash upper is faster iirc
dusk yoke
even with the invul on special
dash uppercut goes too far lol
its awful in the underworld
end up in lava 90% of the time rofl
arctic oasis
Does Demeter fists charged special also apply to the dash upper
dusk yoke
dusa is funny lol
mint coral
Does Demeter fists charged special also apply to the dash upper
yes
arctic oasis
Oh cool
mint coral
is fun with the one that gives the dash upper +100% area attack
dusk yoke
man.. why does zues hate me, rofl
Ive been literally trying to force this last aspect rng for 2 days, rofl
at this point I jsut want to put in some kind of cheat code or something to get the gun.. spending more time getting the gun, that I probably will playing with it rofl
thorn marsh
technically there is
void vigil
Did you get him to comment on the gun?
thorn marsh
u could just put in a maxed save file LOL
dusk yoke
wait what? who?
thorn marsh
oh yeah
dusk yoke
who comments on the gun?
thorn marsh
zeus
void vigil
Zeus
dusk yoke
he hasnt yet
thorn marsh
zeus needs to make a comment about exagryph
thorn marsh
u cant
dusk yoke
ic
void vigil
You need to play with the gun and he needs to comment on that, in order to unlock the aspect later
dusk yoke
ic
its just a random comment from him?
so this forced rng method should work with that too then ya?
void vigil
I mean if he’s saying no new dialogue anymore you will likely get it right away
dusk yoke
keeps saying the same thing.. blah blah go get em tiger
does it matter what aspect I am using for him to say that?
I was using eris
stable glen
Why are 40 heat furies such a pain
dusk yoke
have been using eris forever
stable glen
I have more trouble with 40 heat furies than 40 heat em3
void vigil
I don’t think it matters
dusk yoke
hmmm
chrome wharf
Aspect doesn't matter
dusk yoke
feels so bad
chrome wharf
the more you try to force RNG, the more it evades you
dusk yoke
fr
chrome wharf
take it from the gacha player
dusk yoke
but ive already finsihed the game maaaany times lol
chrome wharf
play something else
dusk yoke
I just want to play with the new gun haha
void vigil
Then try the zagreus aspect?
dusk yoke
ya im trying that now
chrome wharf
try 32 heat to naturally accelerate your dying
nah can't be aspect. Never touched Zag rail in my hell file and still got the hidden
chrome wharf
it's desire sensor. Grab lightning strike and do a full run so you talk to him more
void vigil
Are you sure you have 5 blood in the rail
dusk yoke
I have his ring on
yes put 1 in every slot, so all 3 aspects are unlocked
= 5 bloods, yes?
1 - 2 -2
void vigil
That is not 5 blood iirc, it’s 1,1,2
stoic flame
-3 😎
dusk yoke
wait what
thorn marsh
yeah that 1 1 2
chrome wharf
While waiting, upgrade Hestia a bit more and try that. It plays more like a bow than a rail
thorn marsh
first aspect is only 1 blood
thorn marsh
just put another one in eris
dusk yoke
hahahahaha
first run after doing that
hes talks about exogryph lol
hillarious
ty for helping me problem solve this ❤️ im an idiot lol
chrome wharf
have fun
for the actual phrase you won't need the gun
dusk yoke
im sure ill get it now 😄
I cant beleive ive been doing this for 2 days without the 5 bloods in it hahaha
I feel like a moron
chrome wharf
yeah that's why I say don't force RNG

hades is so annoying but so much fun
dusk yoke
hades is pretty easy of you get his timing down
2 flashes then dodge you can stay in his melee range the whole time
then hug him when he goes super sayan
dusk yoke

pure rain

chrome wharf
lmao I didn't even see the first boss on day 1
pure rain
i can get past the first few rooms without getting hit
dusk yoke
lol day one, that crystal boss.. omg
stoic flame
i took 50 runs to beat the game for the first time 😔
pure rain
OMG THE CRYSTAL BOSS CAN SUCK A D
dusk yoke
hahaha
stoic flame
and then my friend picks up the game
dusk yoke
u aint kidding
pure rain
tbh hes like just i tiny bit harder than the actuall boss
manic bobcat
i wish i can tell you more about the crystal boss
dusk yoke
ya it took me like 30'ish runs to beat the boss the first time
pure rain
it only took me 14 runs
dusk yoke
I mean the last boss felx 😛
stoic flame
lol
dusk yoke
but thats only cause I was messing with the other weapons.. once I unlocked the shield and found the beam special.. it was gg from then on
pure rain
im already halfway to that ammount and havnt even beaten the second boss
wait the shield ??
manic bobcat
he already beat the boss
it depends on the build and weapon also.
you can theoretically beat the game as soon as you get the shield, which is the second run
just hide in a corner and block.
pure rain
i though it was only 6 weapons
manic bobcat
but it's not fun that way yknow
pure rain
i though it was only 6 weapons
dusk yoke
sword, spear, bow, fists, shield, gun
manic bobcat
nothing wrong with blocking
pure rain
the gun would be a lot better if it had more range
stoic flame
it depends on the build and weapon also.
you can theoretically beat the game as ...
the build yes but he is just good at games lol. touhou players smh
chrome wharf
I didn't even unlock the shield at my first win lol
manic bobcat
the gun would be a lot better if it had more range
you can get a sniper rifle later on
so it's possible
dusk yoke
lol sniper rifle
stoic flame

manic bobcat

stoic flame

dusk yoke

pure rain
ok
void vigil
If you have all the weapons, just choose a weapon and click it again
pure rain
it took me like 15 times to been the first boss
manic bobcat
there are Nemesis Sword and Hera Bow which is great even at base form
pure rain
il like the twin fists
manic bobcat
honorable mention to Excalibur, too
mint coral
zeus shield is great base too
dusk yoke

dusk yoke
you do tho.. in your mirror
manic bobcat
i think they meant the "meta" progress, as in upgrades and unlocks
dusk yoke
keep your darkness shards and materials so you can get stronger every run

you actually can do exactly that ;)
dusk yoke
dying is literally the mechanic in hades rofl
pure rain
HOW
pure rain
you actually can do exactly that ;)
how
dusk yoke
just wait till the endgame.. when you have to beat hades 10 DAMN TIMES to learn the whole damn story
manic bobcat
How to make a boss fight (or any fight, really) practice save.
- Do a run and get to that fight.
- The moment you get through the door, hit Pause.
- Open File Explorer and navigate to Documents/Saved Games/Hades.
- Copy Profile1_Temp.sav (assuming you are on slot 1 in the save slots).
- Rename Profile1_Temp.sav to Profile2.sav or any other open slots.
(Note: if you also play on other slots, or the 2nd one in this example, this will overwrite that save file progress. Proceed at your own discretion.)- Now come back in game. You can quit out to main menu and load the 2nd slot.
(You might have to load this twice. The first try might bring you to a new run, give up and reload a second time).- The game should correctly load you to the wanted fight.
- You can now practice the fight. Hit Give Up and Reload the moment you die (black screen) or win to make sure the file doesn't progress and you can use it again and again.
dusk yoke
well then... thats new lol
pure rain
thats confusing
manic bobcat
it's hacky and obviously not intended
chrome wharf
PC only btw
manic bobcat
but you technically can, it's just copying folders, not really "hacking"
dusk yoke
I just died.. repeadedly.. to learn it rofl

mint coral
lucifer special with triple bomb is fun
dusk yoke

I hadn't fired up hades since late June but with the recent release of it on game pass I've been running it back on xbox and found myself of course sliding back to my PC saves to remember what the real endgame is like. When I hopped back onto my PC to play Hades via steam I noticed I was missing all of my companions as well as the Aspect for Lucifer. Almost like key dialogue points were just rolled back from my account curious if this has happened to anyone else.

there is a monthly challenge where you need to max one boon to level 20

How does gaining power for the calls work
Is it by dealing damage,killing or taking damage?
Or do you gain it over time or something
twin thistle
certain boons make you gain over time too
twin thistle
also theres a Aphrodite zeus duo boon that charges it really fast but caps you at one charge

yes
whole ridge
The Bombs are too inconsistent to be relied on
rapid forum
the bombs are alright
whole ridge
Ye
They're fine but the slow bit makes it easy for enemies that are quicker to move outta the way
rapid forum
although if you can get rocket bomb, cluster bomb, or targeting system. It'd boost your DPS considerably
whole ridge
Also I stand corrected, I have Eris I think on the Rail Gun. The one that gives you a slight buff for standing in your Bomb's blast radius
Ye
I use the Bombs too, just not as reliably
rapid forum
Eris is great. The damage buff is global, it affects everything
whole ridge
Sweet
I got Eris to meet the 5 aspects required for Guan Yu, so I could properly work on my favored weapons
Also I'm finally learning how useful actually using my cast is xD
The thing I see myself having probably a bit more difficulty with completing a run for is the sword.
Or the gauntlets
Already have both spear and sword done, just need the others. Bow I pretty much got down and just need a good run and the rail gun I now know to aim for Zeus
rapid forum
I can't seem to get a nice run with malphon 
then again
nowadays I do meme runs
as for sword
poseidon aspect is good for me
whole ridge
That's fair. I don't have reliable supplies of blood quite yet though XD I have 3 total clears with 2 on shield and one on spear, and with the spear the aspect of Achilles seems to be best for my playstyle, Hades is fun and all but the charge attack is too slow
Although now that I got a second Shield clear I think on Heat 1, I probably can go to Heat 2 with it for more Meg blood
wise oasis
@alpine cobalt the pact of punishment lets you get premium materials again after you already get them, at the cost of increasing the difficulty
whole ridge
Yes but don't ya gotta complete runs in ascending heat to build more blood?
I know you can jump up to heat 1 without completing 0, but doesn't seem the case from there
Also who's that being mentioned?
alpine cobalt
<@195493832240922624> the pact of punishment lets you get premium materials agai...
Oh so that's why I was able to get it again alright that makes allot more sense thank you so much
granite ether
nope, not at all
you can push the heat as much as you like, you'll however only recieve rewards from the lowest incomplete heat
whole ridge
Ahh there they are
That's what I meant
In other words I can get more blood from shield because I beat Heat 1 bounties (I think) by using the one that boosts all enemy health by 15%
granite ether
0 heat is tracked differantly, so it's worth completeing a run with every weapon at heat 0
whole ridge
Ez heat ones like boosted health or 4x trap damage
When I first messed with heat I nearly beat my second run back to back using the spear, which woulda been nice, but I would need to go back with it for the 0 bounties xD
It sucked too, there was a fishing spot in that Hades boss room
rapid forum
Ez heat ones like boosted health or 4x trap damage
definitely not the 4x trap damage
whole ridge
I died with phase 2 at low health
rapid forum
that applies to lava
brisk trail
these 2 are pretty hard heats monkaS
whole ridge
I mean, I never had issues with the lava
alpine cobalt
Hey so what happens if you beat Death in killing enemies do you get anything for it
rapid forum
and final boss vase
whole ridge
You get a mino heart
twin thistle
you get a centaur heart
whole ridge
Centaur heart
rapid forum
yes
whole ridge
Doesn't matter room reward, tie or beat Than he gives you a centaur heart
twin thistle
for one heat i just grabbed the time limit one
alpine cobalt
Oh what does the heart do?
rapid forum
it increase your max health
twin thistle
+25 max health
alpine cobalt
Oh that thing
whole ridge
But I doubt you are xD
twin thistle
if you complete a region before your time is up itll add to what you have left btw
alpine cobalt
I did beat the game yesterday for my first time I just got it on gamepass a few days ago
twin thistle
so 9 minutes ends up being a lot
whole ridge
Guan Yu is rough to fight through because of that health cut by the way x.x
alpine cobalt
By the way just wondering has anyone actually made a tier list for this game lol
Like for weapons and gods and such
alpine cobalt
Even Hades?
whole ridge
Yep
twin thistle
or just run behind a wall
whole ridge
Hades lasers too
alpine cobalt
Wow
twin thistle
i dont like the shield
whole ridge
Why run behind a wall when you can block and counter?
alpine cobalt
My favorite is the 3 key Spear
whole ridge
Bull rush xD
Guan Yu?
It's strong but that health cut hurts bad
Oh wait you said 3 key not 3 blood
brisk trail
there are weapon tierlists but they depend on if youre looking at speed or heat. every god has meta uses so making a tierlist of them seems pointless
alpine cobalt
there are weapon tierlists but they depend on if youre looking at speed or heat....
I was just more of curious honestly seems like a game where I can see that says happening
whole ridge
Yeah, Spear is good, I found Achilles to be the best aspect for it tho
brisk trail
trust in that people will make tierlists of everything
whole ridge
Ye
alpine cobalt
I like the Spear cause I pump it up with special damage and combo with the attack does great work
whole ridge
Dorito tier list here we goooo!
alpine cobalt
trust in that people will make tierlists of everything
I guess I should know that huh lol
whole ridge
goes to eat her Sweet Chili doritos
alpine cobalt
_Dorito tier list here we goooo!_
Sweet and Spicy top
alpine cobalt
Person of culture lol
I got to tell you though this game is difficult but it seems as you get better stuff as the more runs you do
And I appreciate that
whole ridge
That's just how roguelikes work in general
alpine cobalt
Yeah sorry this is kinda the first one I've played so forgive my ignorance
whole ridge
I just enjoy how they took advantage of the gameplay loop works for story and dialogue, as I don't even know when I'll reach the end of it
Oh, the first huge roguelike was Binding of Isaac
alpine cobalt
It does feel like there's endless amount of lore
whole ridge
There's also a heavily recommended one jn Dead Cells
alpine cobalt
Actually I have played binding of Isaac but that was long ago
whole ridge
the Clock Tower music from that is still in my head
alpine cobalt
I forgotten lol
I don't like binding of Isaac personally just cause the movement system
Other than that it's good
whole ridge
Yeah, it's the one that popularized the genre, and laid the groundwork that Hades essentially worked on
alpine cobalt
I think Hades really does a great job at letting your skill control the game
whole ridge
To great success in the innovation
I'm just shocked that the seemingly endless dialogue is fully voice acted, to great success too
alpine cobalt
Where I don't like Binding of Isaac I feel like Hades fixes those things
Yeah the Gods really feel like gods
Like it delivers nearly perfectly
whole ridge
And Hades being the grumpy dad is nice, although you can see the soft spots through his very rough, very hard to beat exterior
alpine cobalt
Like even when I die I'm always interested to hear what Hades has to say
I feel bad for him
whole ridge
Everyone has personality and it's so lovely. Than is a total edge tho
But seems he's just overall depressed of stuff
alpine cobalt
Hades seems like he kinda was just outcasted by the other gods
And he deals with it
whole ridge
He holds contempt for them all, especially papa Zeus
alpine cobalt
Like towards of the end of the game points out I'm very impressed how he can just keep all his anger in
whole ridge
Remember he lost the lot drawing (essentially drawing sticks) for which domain he would inherent, getting the underworld.
Poseidon got the medium length for the sea, and Zeus probably cheated to get the long one for Olympus
alpine cobalt
Though yesterday I thought of something that really made me question the whole story
If Hades didn't want our main character to ever leave why didn't he just tell him he would die once reaching the top
whole ridge
Not knew, she said she felt he would but had no way to know for sure, but the night mother obviously knows close to as much as Chaos himself
Being directly related
By the by, love Chaos
alpine cobalt
I think she knew cause she admitted of knowing of the possibility but she chose not to believe that it would happen
I feel like she felt like it would happened hence why she didn't want to believe in it
But nobody knew if it was gonna happen for sure I guess
Outside of Hades
I think
I just find it funny how Hades acts like his son didn't just beat him in a fight after lol
twin thistle
well not like zagreus wouldnt go and try anyways even if hades told him he'd die
alpine cobalt
Yeah I know I was actually gonna type that
But
Why not tell him if you really don't want him to get out
In my eyes I feel like it could be a way to train him
whole ridge
I just find it funny how Hades acts like his son didn't just beat him in a fight...
What happens at the gateway of Styx stays there, they later come to call it their "private chats"
granite ether
because Hades is absolutely awful at conveying his emotions
whole ridge
Yes
twin thistle
anyways he probably didnt expect to be able to lose
alpine cobalt
I don't think that would count as emotions personally
whole ridge
He probably thinks showing his emotions is a sign of weakness if I had to guess, which when he cracks you can really hear it in his voice, like with your first clear and he tells you to tell Persephone that Cerberus is doing well
alpine cobalt
That's stopping him from reaching his goal
Yeah you can tell he cares allot about his family
I mean even when he's angry he's thinking of everyone down in the underworld
Though that ending was very sad to me lol
But it really did make sense after I took a second to let it all in
You have to be able to play the game somehow again
alpine cobalt
Yeah I can definitely tell I still got so much more to go
Allot of lore I need to find out
Go see mother again
I'm glad the meeting between them was wholesome in my opinion
I thought after she freaked out I was like _ of course this is how it ends_ lol
I think the lore is so amazing in this game though all the gods talk about each other to you and talk about wanting to meet you
And I like how the side characters gets tons of love as well
whole ridge
Part of me suspects Hermes knows your true intentions because he's just that kinda guy
He's always been an aloof trickster
twin thistle
yeah hermes seems to know whats going on
whole ridge
Not to mention he's in really good with Charon
Also would explain why his help is limited to 2 boons per run (3 if Styx Charon has one)
alpine cobalt
I feel like your character isn't a bad guy seems to be very mindful and has allot of manners I really like how he isn't just a person who just wants to kill to get to the top and that's it
And I feel like as he meets all the gods he becomes a better person as well
I'm glad this game came to gamepass
And I can definitely see why this almost won GOTY
It's been a while ever since I've had so much fun with a game like I have Hades
whole ridge
It would have won if TLOA2 didn't buy out all the rewards >~>
alpine cobalt
Lol yeah that's something that kinda rubbed many people the wrong way
But even then it would have lost to Ghost's
Hades was I believe the 3rd place game of that year
For the most part
whole ridge
It was tight competition that year
alpine cobalt
But from what I've seen from TLOA2 it really didn't deserve everything it got but that's kinda what happens to a popular franchise
Yeah it definitely was
whole ridge
It didn't deserve just about all of it's what, 7? Rewards
Especially not game direction xD
alpine cobalt
I felt like it definitely shouldn't have been GOTY
I felt like Ghost was allot better of a game
whole ridge
That game's directing was plagued with controversy, and Hades 100% deserved that one because devs never crunched for the deadline if I recall
I haven't played Ghosts yet
Still on my list
alpine cobalt
I'll say this after playing Hades it deserved best Soundtrack just saying that now
whole ridge
But it's kinda stuck to PS4 if I recall currently.
alpine cobalt
Ghost was the fan favorite for that year tbh
And Last of us seemed to confuse allot of people when it won
Like typically you kinda have a good feeling on who will win every year
Most people didn't think Last of us deserved it
I remember mostly shock factor when it won
After playing Hades I think it deserved much more awards than it got at the Game awards
alpine cobalt
Yeah from what I heard but it really does feel like it got robbed at the Game awards
But I mean I guess many games felt that way in some way
But it's good to see Hades did well outside of the Game awards
Cause it deserves the love it gets
Like one of my favorite soundtracks in a while
I'm playing on the Series X as well and I forget that quick resume works with Hades sometimes lol and that's so amazing that it does
lone tree
(I know I'm gonna gather some hate but)... I mute the music so that I can focus on the enemies
alpine cobalt
Ehh everyone has their own preference of playing
As long as you don't use Twitter light mode or discord light mode we chill lol
weary jackal
I'll say this after playing Hades it deserved best Soundtrack just saying that n...
Last Words and God of the Dead alone should’ve won it that
whole ridge
Some were arguing for Doom Eternal on soundtrack, I personally think remastered music from a 20+ year old game shouldn't qualify, but I guess FF7R begged to differ on that xD
alpine cobalt
Last Words and God of the Dead alone should’ve won it that
Yeah the game has so many songs that for the theme perfectly and got you into the zone very easily
whole ridge
It's usually kinda hard to compete with Square on the music front
If anything they're consistent on, it's their original music
For their owned IPs
alpine cobalt
Some were arguing for Doom Eternal on soundtrack, I personally think remastered ...
Doom Eternal has an amazing soundtrack but the problem is that it's mostly rock and I mean it's great and all but it's not something you're gonna want to hear over and over
Though I do agree Doom Eternal has great music
weary jackal
Doom Eternal has an amazing soundtrack but the problem is that it's mostly rock ...
For some reason a lot of the more Metal songs in hades (God of the Dead included) really give me a doom eternal vibe
whole ridge
I mean, say that to everyone still listening to BFG Facility or whatever it was
lone tree
Anyone agree that Cuphead's music is great?
