BFG Division

[whole ridge]

Ye that

[alpine cobalt]

Yeah I think it's all about theme of where you are at in the game when said song plays personally

[whole ridge]

But all in all I agree it didn't deserve the reward due to somewhat homogenous, although extremely fitting score

Also if doing a run with Than's trinket, if ya encounter Than is it worthwhile to just hide and let him kill everything for the +2?

[weary jackal]

If Darren and Mick Gordon ever met I fear that the world would not be prepared

[alpine cobalt]

I'll say this Halo infinite about to win best soundtrack lol

[brisk trail]

one of the songs from hades gave me this doctor who vibe, but i can't remember which one it was

[whole ridge]

Honestly Halo music always is a bomb, and it seems 343 finally got outta the awkward phase of picking up a famed franchise

We'll see though

[weary jackal]

I always run Pierced Butterfly when I’m using Aspect of Chiron, most of the time I manage to both beat than and get the +2%
I guess it’s mostly a matter of skill and how much you can focus on yourself while Than blows things up

[whole ridge]

Also props to Microsoft for delaying Infinite for a year

[brisk trail]

you can def just slowplay with than trinket

[whole ridge]

If I recall it originally was supposed to be a launch title for the Series X

[alpine cobalt]

Well they seem to be going back to how Halo used to be but really making it modern they are bringing back the old story writers and the original soundtrack producers so the music is gonna be legendary I can tell you that lol

[whole ridge]

But will it be LASO?

XD

[alpine cobalt]

It was supposed to but the game wasn't near ready at the time so they pushed it back

Lol I just think the music will be like how 1-3 was and that's what we all wanna hear

[whole ridge]

Microsoft has the money to be able to push titles off like that, other studios may not

I honestly never had issues with 4

[alpine cobalt]

Yeah like Fable being pushed back

[whole ridge]

Still yet to play 5 tho

[alpine cobalt]

4 is a good game just mid story

[whole ridge]

I'm a tad concerned about Fable all things considered, but it's a cautiousness due to not thinking one can easily recreate what the original long dead studio managed

[alpine cobalt]

5 has multiplayer potential ( outside of awful mechanics) with a horrible story

[whole ridge]

I just love the "how Chief v Locke actually would go" memes

[alpine cobalt]

Well we did get some amazing news about Fable so apparently it's gonna run on the same engine as the Forza games

[whole ridge]

That makes me a bit more wary, it wasn't a game meant to have more realistic looks.

[alpine cobalt]

I mean lore wise Chief should have killed him in a punch or two lol

[whole ridge]

I mean, his feats are a bit over the top in the books to be fair.

[alpine cobalt]

There's no telling how it's gonna look yet cause they aren't ready to show a thing lol

[whole ridge]

I mean, didn't they do an open beta recently?

For the multi-player at least

Oh sorry you mean Fable not Halo xD

[alpine cobalt]

Yeah lol I maybe should have been more clear

My apologies

Yeah Fable is getting the engine that Forza has

[whole ridge]

Also wow this discussion got derailed from Hades pretty hard xD

[alpine cobalt]

Lol it happens when you talk about video games you like

You kinda just go down a rabbit hole

[weary jackal]

How did a conversation of best soundtrack eventually end up with Fable

[alpine cobalt]

I apologise for going off topic

And tbh that's kinda what happens with me allot lol I can be talking about one thing and end up talking about something completely unrelated

Can kinda blame my ADD for that

[whole ridge]

Because it got to Halo which then lead to Fable because Microsoft

[alpine cobalt]

Yus

Yeah I mentioned how Halo infinite gonna win soundtrack of the year

[whole ridge]

But anywho. I'm probably gonna make the dive and do Hades some.

And I mean, don't think there's a whole lotta competition for games this year anywho

Unless I'm forgetting stuff again

Oh wait

Dread! Dread comes out soon!

[alpine cobalt]

Alright well I hope you have fun then :)

I did have most fun talking with you

[whole ridge]

Metroid Dread!

[alpine cobalt]

Ah yeah people seem to be excited for it

[whole ridge]

You should look into the history, it's actually much longer than one would think.

[alpine cobalt]

I'm a Pokemon nerd _ as you can see_

[wise oasis]

Lost a death defiance cuz I fished on lava

[granite ether]

#video-games if you wanna continue this discussion please

[wise oasis]

I am now opening a hades c oaching service

[whole ridge]

You what? XD

[alpine cobalt]

I apologise

[whole ridge]

Why

Why would ya fish on lava xD

"You may be fire resistant my prince but you aren't fire proof"

[wise oasis]

My foot was over the edge, and I thought itd be fine because boons and such make you immune while you're picking them up

[alpine cobalt]

I haven't gotten to be able to fish yet

[whole ridge]

Also how long until he starts being called Lerny

The Hydra

[wise oasis]

Eventually zag nicknames him it

Im not sure if its random or based on a certain number of clears

[hollow void]

Does anyone know where the monthly challenge is posted?

[alpine cobalt]

Welp I hope y'all have fun :) I wish y'all the best

[whole ridge]

I can consistently reach Elysium so that sounds nice

[wise oasis]

Its pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat

[hollow void]

Ah thanks

[wise oasis]

there hasnt been one since june though

[hollow void]

Huh

[whole ridge]

And ye, I'm gonna do the rail gun again now knowing Zeus booms are the way with it's attack

Well first I'm gonna get the fated list for using all keepsakes (minus last)

Just got two more God ones to go

[azure osprey]

Does zag go to the bathroom

I wonder if anyone in the game pees

[weary jackal]

Is there ever a given reason as to why Zag has red blood?

There’s a reason I think might be why but it only makes half sense

[lone tree]

I'm curious

[wise oasis]

Id say its cuz of the hemoglobin

[weary jackal]

Alecto says that every other god doesn’t have red blood

[wise oasis]

I just reached hades, gonna pay closer attention and see what color his is, Im pretty sure he has cuts all over him when he dies

[weary jackal]

||Achilles theorises that Zag is the god of blood, and by extension life. So maybe being god of blood, he’s got relatively special biology.||

[wise oasis]

Zag is the god of blood, he says so himself after one of the hades open screen thingies

[lone tree]

So if possible Zagreus could bleed ichor too?

[wise oasis]

hades has like an anime blood burst thing when he dies, seems to be pretty red to me

[weary jackal]

Yeah but when you hit him doesn’t he bleed black?

[wise oasis]

oh seems so

not sure then

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858744757936193542/877161447354933319/unknown.png

looks black

[weary jackal]

Unplayable, fix ur game /s

[lone tree]

Since there are two types of gods in hades (cthonic and olympian) is it possible that the two bleed different types of ichor?

[hollow hawk]

zag has mortal blood

which is why theres a line in an intro cutscene that says "fling your blood at me like that again and ill have you cast into the styx, where you can drown in it"

and since styx has red, mortal blood

it is implied that zagreus does too

[hollow hawk]

also, zag counts as a cthonic god i believe, the same as hades

but the folks over at #h1-story-discussion might know more

[wise oasis]

He does, he's under chthonic gods in the codex

[lone tree]

I found a site which states that the greeks believed ichor to be black, green, blue and gold, can it be that the cthonic gods bleed black and the olympians gold?

[hollow hawk]

well in hades the video game, we dont see any olympian god bleed

so we cant know for sure

but zagreus bleeds red, and hades bleeds black

[weary jackal]

I wish the entire Greek pantheon was in Hades, I wanna see some fire boons or something from Hestia or Hephaestus

[hollow hawk]

would be fun indeed yeah

but would probably be overwhelming tbh

[lone tree]

yea...

[hollow hawk]

8 seems like a good number to strike

perhaps we can hope for mods to add such things

[lone tree]

But the best would be Khronos (in roman: Saturn) the primordial god of time

[hollow hawk]

what boons would Khronos have?

would he be like chaos?

where hes not really a part of the olympian boon pool, just a seperate eternal entity

[chrome wharf]

Isn't Khronos the god of harvest

[hollow hawk]

nope

[lone tree]

For example, his call could slow down time (but not you) and you could dash away from a tight spot

[hollow hawk]

google says its the personification of time

[hollow hawk]

how would that affect tight deadline

could be pretty clutch for high heat runs or runs where youre out of time

[lone tree]

That would be amazing

[chrome wharf]

In Athens, on the twelfth day of the Attic month of Hekatombaion, a festival called Kronia was held in honour of Cronus to celebrate the harvest, suggesting that, as a result of his association with the virtuous Golden Age, Cronus continued to preside as a patron of the harvest. 

from Wikipedia, so maybe both

[hollow hawk]

its actually not that hard to create such boons in the code, from what i know of the way the game is coded

you can just reduce the timescale

though, reducing it tends to have weirds effects sometimes

[lone tree]

Yea... when I was researching the planets for a achool project, I came across saturn (and Khronos) being the Primordial god of the harvest and time

[lone tree]

Like how Ouranos (Roman: Uranus) was the primordial god of the sky (now taken over by Zeus) and helios the primordial god of the sun (now apollo)

[lone tree]

It would be cool if Apollo was in Hades

[whole ridge]

And I have been slain to Charon's wrath

[rapid forum]

ah yes

the mighty oar

[weary jackal]

I really wish there was like a tiny chance of when you get hit by the oar for a bonk sound effect to play

[rapid forum]

Modders: write it down, WRITE IT DOWN

[whole ridge]

Like, yeesh, he's brutal.

[weary jackal]

Man’s really protective of his pot’a gold

[arctic oasis]

do any of you guys buy music to play in the house of hades

or should I save my diamonds

[whole ridge]

Okay xD

[rapid forum]

I traded my diamonds for ambrosia

iircc

[stoic flame]

i dont think there is anything left to do with my diamonds anymore except rank and music

[rapid forum]

I still have some diamonds

[whole ridge]

I also liked how instead of Hypnos giving you trouble it's Hades getting a laugh out of you stealing then dying to Charom

[stoic flame]

i have like 15 on me rn

[rapid forum]

but they're like.. 4

[stoic flame]

collecting some darkness

for the rank

actually no

im gonna skip i want that theme

chaos one

[whole ridge]

Like, it was nice hearing him give what sounded like a legitimate laugh. And Zag in that case actually deserved the scolding xD

[rapid forum]

I've never died to charon

at least the runs where I fought him

I never died

[whole ridge]

I admittedly didn't have a very great set up and had heat 2 with health boosted up by 30%

[stoic flame]

imagine

[whole ridge]

RNG gave me enough to make it through Elysium, but I doubt I'd have beaten Daddy

[stoic flame]

when i fought him the first time he absolutely folded me

and this wasnt even early game

[whole ridge]

I got him down to 25% tho

[stoic flame]

this is after the epilogue

i hate when he releases his purple farts or whatever from himself

if ur melee ur ded af

[weary jackal]

The wretched broker is selling a diamond for 100 gems
I have 98
Pain.

[rapid forum]

F

[stoic flame]

rip

[weary jackal]

Thank the gods, I had a prophecy that gave me 150

[stoic flame]

nice

[chrome wharf]

clutch

[obsidian schooner]

Hold up you can fight Charon?

[weary jackal]

Yeah if you rob him

[stoic flame]

🔫

[obsidian schooner]

LOL

Ok I thought you were joking but I looked it up

What happens if you keep giving nectar

[stoic flame]

you can make a bond

[obsidian schooner]

I heard they give quests

I maxed out Cerberus nectar but nothing happened

[stoic flame]

they are not quests per se but like favours to get their bond

[stoic flame]

you need to pet him

so that you can give him ambrosia

[weary jackal]

I adore that there’s an achievement for petting cerberus 10 times

[stoic flame]

._.

there is?

[real thorn]

Best boi

[rapid forum]

Yea there is

[stoic flame]

time to check

[real thorn]

I literally pet him each time

[weary jackal]

“Three headed boy; Pet cerberus 10 times”

[stoic flame]

nice

[rapid forum]

Someone also sent out a tweet back last year? I think. Only around 15% of people had that achievement

[stoic flame]

blasphemy

[rapid forum]

After the tweet it boosted to 60? I think

[weary jackal]

Does anyone else think Zag says “power of the gods” like he’s in a perfume commercial

[stoic flame]

at first i thought cerberus was just like the background lol

like uninteractable

is that a word?

ininteractable

non intractable

[rapid forum]

Lol

I was like Oh doggo

OH I CAN PET HIM

[stoic flame]

[rapid forum]

Then I stream it to my friends

I CAN PET THE DOGGO

[weary jackal]

There are like 30 separate reasons why Hades should’ve won Goty
Cerberus being pettable is one of them

[rapid forum]

I mean, in ghost of sashimi, you can pet foxes

[stoic flame]

sashimi

[weary jackal]

True, but there’s a limited amount of times you can do that

[stoic flame]

was that the name?

[weary jackal]

Tsushima

[rapid forum]

No lol

[stoic flame]

i feel liek it was something else

ah

lmao

[weary jackal]

Is it just me or does Thanatos start to spawn much less often when you get him to 6 hearts

[hollow hawk]

its just you

the rate that he appears at doesnt drop

[weary jackal]

Huh

Both times I’ve played through the game, on pc and now on PS4, after I got him to 6 he hasn’t appeared in like 5 runs

[stoic flame]

rng

[weary jackal]

Weird

[rapid forum]

He doesn't want to be outdone by your build

[weary jackal]

I’ve only beaten Hades 12 times and I’ve beaten him every time, once by 20 kills

[barren citrus]

[arctic oasis]

I can never catch Thanatos to give him nectar

It’s annoying

[ripe rapids]

What does he give you? I’ve only gotten him once on like my 15-16th run

He beat me by like 2

[weary jackal]

Who, Thanatos?
A centaur heart if you beat him in the competitions
The Pierced Butterfly keepsake if you give him 1 Nectar
And a companion if you give him 6 nectar and an ambrosia

[whole ridge]

Whooo

Beat run 4 with the rail gun in a rather close fight with papa

Ended up relying pretty heavily on the Bombs, got the one that makes it 300% stronger, but it also can damage yourself

[azure osprey]

Boys

I beat hades

What changes now

[whole ridge]

So in short, thanks for the advice on the rail gun, as the chain lightning helped a ton

In the non-bosses it helped clear rooms super easy

[lone tree]

Congrats!!! (I have never been able to yet)

[wise oasis]

Gun, especially eris rail lets you fully embrace the "the best defence is an overwhelming offence" approach and its great

[azure osprey]

Dude the cool thing

[weary jackal]

Coronacht supremacy

[azure osprey]

I had to do all 5 caves in the 4th area

And had to do the entire run without a call

[obsidian schooner]

I feel like my ability to progress in any given escape attempt is totally dependent on what boons I get

With the right boons I’m just clearing rooms in seconds

Other times I can barely get past the fury

[arctic oasis]

Eris rail is hilarious

[azure osprey]

I think spear is really consistent

[lone tree]

Yeah... If I don't get flurry jab, I can never make it to theseus and asterius (probably die at the beginning of elysium)

Anything I/we can do?

[obsidian schooner]

nothing you can do about RNG really

[ripe rapids]

I’m a Malphos normie

0 win random

[arctic oasis]

Try to run the keepsakes for the gods you want

[obsidian schooner]

I feel like doom boons from Ares are the best

[lone tree]

Agreed

[weary jackal]

Chiron Coronacht with either Demeter, Artemis or Dionysus special is stupid good
Getting endless volley and concentrated volley on top of that makes it ludicrous

[raw herald]

Depends on rarity/level/aspect

[lone tree]

That and aphro's

[ripe rapids]

Artemis best girl

[lone tree]

What the best (in general) aspect of Varatha?

[raw herald]

Achilles

[weary jackal]

Tru

[azure osprey]

Artemis is a B word tbh

[obsidian schooner]

The dash damage with deflect from Athena is very strong

[lone tree]

Why?

[ripe rapids]

All you got is head, stfu

[lone tree]

I just use zag's aspect

[raw herald]

+150% bonus damage to attack + cast is a lot

[azure osprey]

I think the zag one is the most consistent

[arctic oasis]

Try fists with merciful end

[azure osprey]

I barely use spin

[ripe rapids]

Dusa, more like Deuce-a

[raw herald]

If you get flurry jab with it, you'll shred everything that isn't a boss, and if you get a good cast, you'll shred bosses as well

[obsidian schooner]

I can’t get anywhere with the fists

[azure osprey]

Artemis more like art bad

Ooo

[ripe rapids]

[wise oasis]

I like guan Yu, the special is nice but overall I really dislike spear

[weary jackal]

[obsidian schooner]

I think the shield with doom is the best combo

[arctic oasis]

I also don’t really like the spear usually

[lone tree]

I haven't really focused on casts... any pointers?

[wise oasis]

Flurry jab makes it much more useable imo

[raw herald]

Put as many poms as possible in them, also shoot for duos

[weary jackal]

Demeter’s is great for sustained damage

[azure osprey]

Y

[raw herald]

Casts scale really well with poms

[wise oasis]

Lazer beam Achilles is fun

[obsidian schooner]

I got my first duos recently

[wise oasis]

Slow, weak weapon overall

[obsidian schooner]

Cast can be strong

[lone tree]

Haven't even gotten to the Styx yet, no Dermeter

[obsidian schooner]

I underused cast early on

[weary jackal]

Ouf

[lone tree]

yea...

[ripe rapids]

I’ve only been to daddy twice, railed both times

Fisted with fists

[obsidian schooner]

Is there a set number of rooms to clear in each biome

[lone tree]

Been playing for 3 months...

[lone tree]

How many?

[obsidian schooner]

Woah

[wise oasis]

Yes, except styx

[arctic oasis]

Also you can get extra casts from chaos and Artemis if you’re lucky

[obsidian schooner]

That’s what I’m asking

[raw herald]

Furies are on chamber 14, Lernie is on 24, heroes are on 36 and the final boss depends

[ripe rapids]

It’s like 13-14 before the Furies

[weary jackal]

I got to Styx on my fifth run, beat Hades on my 9th

[obsidian schooner]

Got it

[ripe rapids]

Then like room 24 for Hydra

Then like 34 for Elysium

[obsidian schooner]

Does that include Charon and clear rooms?

[wise oasis]

Yeah

[ripe rapids]

Yes

[obsidian schooner]

Interesting

[wise oasis]

If you open your boon menu you can see what chamber you're on

[lone tree]

I've 80-82 runs, not beaten the Heroes yet

[obsidian schooner]

Got it

[ripe rapids]

I’m not 100 on my numbers, I’ve only done like 15-16 runs

[obsidian schooner]

That’s wild.

[raw herald]

Beat Hades on my 46th try, I now have over 900 attempts

[lone tree]

Yea... I take a lot of time...

[ripe rapids]

What are heroes? You mean the ones in Elysium?

[obsidian schooner]

I think I hear hades on try 30

[lone tree]

yep

[obsidian schooner]

But tbh I turned on god mode on like try 25

[ripe rapids]

What do you main for weapons

[lone tree]

Varatha (aspect of zag, usually accompanied with doom)

[obsidian schooner]

*beat

[ripe rapids]

Huh

[weary jackal]

Coronacht W/ aspect of Chiron is my favourite weapon
It’s so good

[obsidian schooner]

Is that where the special seeks

[weary jackal]

Yes

[obsidian schooner]

That’s very powerful

[ripe rapids]

I dunno, I’ve done like 9 fist runs and tried everything else once or twice

[arctic oasis]

My favourites are Demeter fists and eris rail

[raw herald]

Favourites are Hestia and hidden shield atm

[obsidian schooner]

There’s a Daedalus upgrade that makes shooting from a distance 200% damage or something like that. Huge.

[weary jackal]

I always run it with Pierced butterfly too, so by the end of a run my damage is normally enough to punch through Hades and Styx like an anti-tank rifle

[ripe rapids]

Piercing Fists is my fav augment thing

[raw herald]

The problem is, the other 2 hammers that are the best on bow increase your point blank damage, so it's not usually that great

[wise oasis]

I like hestia, hidden sword, zag bow mostly

[mint coral]

i like hidden shield, hidden bow, hera mostly

[weary jackal]

Chamber 21 and my butterfly is at +28%
This run is going smashingly

Oh finally than shows up

[wise oasis]

I've started running Poseidon on hidden shield, either that or Dionysus, I like it much more than aphro tbh

[obsidian schooner]

What’s hidden shield

[mint coral]

i dont like dio cast bc chaos says no to +1 cast

[polar root]

It's a hidden aspect for the shield

It's called Beowulf.

[mint coral]

its hera but melee

[polar root]

It's hera but better

[ripe rapids]

Wait

I thought I let all the gods

I’m slow

Do you meet her after escaping

[polar root]

Demeter you mean?

[ripe rapids]

Hera

I have Demeter

[mint coral]

bow aspect

[polar root]

Hera is a bow aspect.

[ripe rapids]

Oh

Damn

Do you don’t meet any new ones after Demeter

[mint coral]

nope

[polar root]

Nopee.

[ripe rapids]

😢

[vapid narwhal]

Demeter is the final one

[polar root]

someone add Hera to the game.

I don't know what the boons would be tho

Yeah no swearing here

[ripe rapids]

😧

[weary jackal]

Is Blast considered a swear

[polar root]

No.

[ripe rapids]

Darn

Damn

[polar root]

There.

[hybrid urchin]

I hope hades gets dlc

[real thorn]

It never will

[polar root]

Sadge.

[hybrid urchin]

Still

I hope

[ripe rapids]

I will enjoy intercourse with your mother

Holy excrement

[polar root]

Ummmmm.

[hybrid urchin]

:/

[ripe rapids]

God damnit

[polar root]

nononono

[weary jackal]

Gods*

[ripe rapids]

[polar root]

There.

[ripe rapids]

Why isn’t this emote called ZagGasm

[polar root]

Uhhh

Don't know

[weary jackal]

It’s a version of the ResidentSleeper twitch emote

[ripe rapids]

Or

CrayGasm

[polar root]

Anyway,

[ripe rapids]

[polar root]

Hades discussion

[weary jackal]

I want more Than emotes than just

[polar root]

than think is nice

[raw herald]

, And are all you need

[ripe rapids]

I want Meg to get surgery or something, she sounds like she died of lung cancer

[polar root]

Dusa gud

[weary jackal]

[hybrid urchin]

P.O.V :

[vapid narwhal]

[weary jackal]

They should’ve made Hypnos the residentsleeper one

[polar root]

Charon keepsake is surprisingly nice

the +8 rooms on +1 cast and cast dmg

[hybrid urchin]

Which one is that again

[ripe rapids]

I keep meaning to give my gifts to best girl, but I keep forgetting and giving them to other gods

[polar root]

bone hourglass

[hybrid urchin]

O

[raw herald]

Yeah bone hourglass is great

[weary jackal]

Butterfly is imo the best one, but it depends on what weapon you’re using and how good you are at not getting turned into a fine powder

[polar root]

Guan yu gud

I love it personally

I like butterfly tooo

[weary jackal]

I wish it worked like the pom flower, considering each individual satyr tunnel chamber as an encounter

[real thorn]

I love the mom Pom keepsake… easy power ups

[weary jackal]

Then it would be so easy to get to 50%

Ok so my Satyr sack is in either an Ares boss tunnel or a Pom boss tunnel
Which should I try first

[real thorn]

Ares

[weary jackal]

Nope, and it’s a dire satyr
Blood and darkness

Got Vicious Cycle though so not that bad overall

Nice, I got a surface fishing spot

[azure osprey]

Dude the reaper guy

Has the most annoying room

I hate him

[lone tree]

Who?

Not than rite

[azure osprey]

No

Than

F that guy

[raw herald]

Why? He gives you health

[lone tree]

Why? Isn't thanatos helping you...

[azure osprey]

Yeah

[weary jackal]

Good gods, I just did 4000 damage with a greater Ares burst

[azure osprey]

But

What happens when you lose

I haven’t found out yet

[real thorn]

Das a lotta damage

[raw herald]

You still get the normal reward from that room

[lone tree]

yea

[raw herald]

Just no extra hp

[lone tree]

He's just helping Zag

[ripe rapids]

He’s flexing for his femboy 😳

[azure osprey]

OH

Then

That room isn’t bad

Nevermind

I thought you instantly died if you failed

[weary jackal]

Sturgeon 2 poggers

[chrome wharf]

It still spawns more enemies than usual

[whole ridge]

Bow with Artemis attack and rapid fire is EZ mode

I didn't think that counted as a curse

Cocy

I only used one death Defiance because I got over confident in the Hades fight

[weary jackal]

I prefer having Ares’s attack and Arti’s special with Chiron
So that the attack that applies the target hits much harder

[whole ridge]

I mean, to be fair I had Ares Call and Artemis Attack both Heroic rarity

Oh, I had twin shot and rapid fire, so my DPS was clocking in at like, 700 per second xD

[weary jackal]

I don’t like twin shot tbh

[whole ridge]

It's okay. I thought it'd been better, but rapid fire is just all around good

[weary jackal]

I prefer either triple, chain, or no Daedalus upgrades to the attack
Piercing volley, Relentless volley, and concentrated volley are so good

[whole ridge]

No power shot? Oh well

[stoic flame]

i dont like the fact that the range is reduced but the time remains same in twin shot

so it feels slower

[raw herald]

Triple + point blank + flurry is a joy to get if you get lucky with the anvil

[raw herald]

It's not slower, the chargeup speed is the same

[weary jackal]

Can you get perfect shot and flurry shot together? It seems counterproductive

[stoic flame]

thats what i just said

[raw herald]

You cannot

[whole ridge]

Either way, because my Artemis was Heroic, I was able to chunk armor and bosses in moments xD

[weary jackal]

Good

[brisk trail]

the problem with bow newbies is that they play it like a ranged weapon smh

[whole ridge]

And Ares' call helped take care of the nuisance of the coliseum. This was Heat 1, so I gotta still go back and beat it with no heat xD. I did the 4x trap damage one because traps and lava seem pretty unimportant with the bow

Oh, it's a power weapon easy, slow to fire though

Unless ya get my set up

[ripe rapids]

How do you play it

[whole ridge]

It's not entirely a ranged weapon.

[weary jackal]

I just move constantly while firing off Tracking Volleys

[brisk trail]

you get twin/triple and point blank shot for max dmg

[manic bobcat]

Twin + Flurry is also really good

[brisk trail]

also I was halfway joking but its kinda true

[raw herald]

Get up really close to an enemy, preferably from behind and dash strike power shot them

[ripe rapids]

Imma just play fists

[azure osprey]

Quick question guys

[ripe rapids]

If that’s the only way to play bow

[azure osprey]

Are all heat rewards the same

[manic bobcat]

Dash strike a lot because dash attack shortens the charge time

[manic bobcat]

Yes.

[azure osprey]

And what’s technically the easiest heat to do

[weary jackal]

1

[azure osprey]

Or thing to increase your heat

[manic bobcat]

Depends on the weapon

[weary jackal]

Oh

[azure osprey]

I meant that

[signal aspen]

td1 is free if you can clear under 36 min consistently

[azure osprey]

I think it’s probably higher cost for items

[azure osprey]

Why do you have to clear it in a certain time?

[weary jackal]

I do forced over time, hard labour, callisthenics, and damage control first

[manic bobcat]

TD1 gives you 9 mins to clear a biome

So 36 in total for the run

It's easier than it sounds

[azure osprey]

what happens if you take longer then that

[weary jackal]

Death

[manic bobcat]

If you don't clear in time, you take 5 damage/s until you die or clear the biome

[brisk trail]

than will be on your case

☠️

[manic bobcat]

You find Charon and ask him to bring you home

[weary jackal]

Welp
Time for heat 7 with double forced over time and damage control

[manic bobcat]

Zag is the type of kid who runs away from home and ask his Mom to drive him

[manic bobcat]

Be careful with Damage Control on certain weapons

[weary jackal]

Aspect of Chiron go brrr

[whole ridge]

For easiest heat challenge, I think either +15% health or 4x trap damage, depending on weapon. Railgun and Bow generally doesn't have to worry about traps

[manic bobcat]

Chiron is fine i guess

[weary jackal]

Oh neat Athena instantly opens with Divine Dash

[manic bobcat]

But just take CF2 and don't buy items

Or Extreme Measure 1 or 2

[whole ridge]

I'll be honest, if I knew I'd get this go with the bow I'd have messed around with Extreme Measures

[weary jackal]

Chamber 4 and I haven’t gotten hit yet
Let’s see how high I can get my butterfly

Epic Heartbreak Flourish let’s goo

[whole ridge]

Oh God I'm looking at the Broker and I have the dumbest temporary deal xD
It's for 1 Ambrosia, and he's asking for 2 Titan Blood

[weary jackal]

That’s almost as bad as 1 ambrosia for 500 darkness

[whole ridge]

I think it's an even worse deal just because right above it is the permanent deal for getting 1 Titan Blood for paying 1 Ambrosia

[weary jackal]

“Do you want to just straight up lose 1 Titan blood? Well boy howdy do I have a deal for you!”

[ripe rapids]

Reverse money glitch

[weary jackal]

I’m so glad that surface fish give blood/ambrosia/diamonds

[ripe rapids]

I’m trash at fishing

[weary jackal]

I just got 2 duo boons from Dionysus
Is this an apology for how many times he’s helped Theseus

[ripe rapids]

Reaction time worse than someone with a poor reaction time

[weary jackal]

Sometimes I get too jumpy with it and pull in too early, but otherwise I get the top tier fish relatively often

[ripe rapids]

What do they give?

🤔

[weary jackal]

Such as just now when I got a flameater

[weary jackal]

Underworld fish give gems, keys and nectar.
Surface fish give Titan Blood for the top tier, ambrosia for the second, and diamonds for the third

[ripe rapids]

Surface fish is where you fight dad right

[weary jackal]

You can get them on the walk after him, but yes

[ripe rapids]

Is ambrosia the square bottle

[weary jackal]

Yeah, from Theseus and bull

[ripe rapids]

Oh ok

[weary jackal]

You need a decent amount of it

[ripe rapids]

To give to my waifu

🙈😳

[weary jackal]

Thanatos appreciation gang

[ripe rapids]

There ain’t an Artemis emote and that should be a crime

[weary jackal]

True

It should also be a crime to not pick Daedalus hammers over Hermes

Not because it’s morally wrong, but to discourage people from doing it

I think it just happens eventually

[whole ridge]

So is there any way to know how many times the lyre has been used?

I already lost track xD

[fiery bramble]

Man, Chiron's Bow just trivializes most encounters lol having so much fun with this thing

[whole ridge]

Ye

[weary jackal]

Gang gang

[polar root]

Chiron gud

[brisk trail]

Can I ask yall a question

[quartz hearth]

I haven't gotten a surface fish in ages, I'm sad

[sick ibex]

Noooooo. seriously what is the deal with all the ps5 crashes. 3 on hades. and just now, again, on asterious, with the literal perfect boon loadout. and it completely wipes the quicksave and starts me in skelly room like the run never even happened. WHY

[quartz hearth]

Come on, RNG, I have more than enough Asphodel fish

[sick ibex]

never had a single pc crash, any my pc sucks

[quartz hearth]

Why are you so obsessed with generating fishing spots in Asphodel, RNG

[brisk trail]

Can you just block attacks with the shield of chaos forever

[brisk trail]

I play on ps4 and I never had a crash

[sick ibex]

just wait till youre on your best run, and itll happen

[weary jackal]

“The gods are on my side, not your, monster! What business would they have, abetting you!?”
Theseus
You’ve seen me use Greater Calls before
What are you on

[manic bobcat]

There are some unlockable attacks. But generally yes.

You can hide in a corner and block forever

[wise oasis]

every chamber in asphodel can have a fishing spot, so you're guaranteed to see more there

[wise oasis]

Try asking in #h1-tech-support , maybe they can help you there

[vast zealot]

is it possible to quick kill the bone hydra in either phase?

[weary jackal]

Every single time I hear Zag say “Stonewhal” I’m like…
Did they?

[unborn remnant]

Is that a reference?

[weary jackal]

Possibly

[wise oasis]

wdym by quick kill?

[vast zealot]

skip a phase essentially, looks like 66% and 33% trigger the waves of baby bone hydras; if i can damage down from say 67% to 33% will it go right to phase 2/ say 34% to 0% will it die without phase 2?

[wise oasis]

you cant, the phases have hard damage gates

if you hit the lsat hit with overkill itll scale the damage down, similar to armor

[shadow kernel]

You used to be able to I’m pretty sure

But not anymore

[vast zealot]

holy heck i think i finally have a build i might get my first clear with

i never thought another roguelike would take over isaac as my number one, but dear god, this game is amazing.

sooooo glad it's finally on xbox

[void vigil]

Go up to the statue and click on it

[fiery bramble]

For Fists, aspect of Talos or Demeter? Just in general, I know everything is situational

[wise oasis]

Demeter is the best fist aspect

imo

[signal aspen]

gilgamesh

[wise oasis]

in like every situation

gilgameme

[fiery bramble]

Havent got hidden aspects yet

I cant imagine its hard to rack up 12 hits, but is the extra special hit really a game changer?

[signal aspen]

six specials is kinda poggers

[fiery bramble]

Six???

[signal aspen]

at max

[fiery bramble]

Oh, upgraded, right

[wise oasis]

fists get the 12 hits really easily

[vast zealot]

dammit! i can't beat that stupid phase 2 😦

[weary jackal]

Hades?

[vast zealot]

yup

[weary jackal]

Honestly I find phase 2 easier than phase 1, the fact he doesn’t summon anything is a major upgrade

[signal aspen]

yeah second phase is easier

for me at least

[vast zealot]

i haven't gotten to that point of easier yet 😂

[outer fulcrum]

So blue screen ps5 resets entire run FML

[fiery bramble]

With Hades, it helped me out when I learned you can dash behind him when he does the three lasers. get a good bunch of hits in that way. Divine Shield is also really helpful against the skulls he throws, and deciding whether to kill the adds or focus on Hades in the first phase is important. If theyre weaker, ill take them out. If theyre beefy/slower, ill let them live and focus on Hades

[outer fulcrum]

That’s ridiculous it resets entire run instead save to the last room ugh

[wise oasis]

Greg responded in #h1-tech-support , they're working on a patch

[short glen]

Oh that reminds me of the second time I tried to use the task manager to cheat

First time worked great, second time reset the run

[weary jackal]

Gods I despise the wretched sneak

[polar root]

This is why kids, you Meg the sneak.

[weary jackal]

My main issue is that every time it teleports my mark is removed so I have to fire another regular arrow at it to reapply it

[outer fulcrum]

@wise oasis ah it’s bc memory leak I guess and gotta restart every run or two to make sure j guess I was playing too long. Glad they communicating though temporary fix and permanent fix coming. Way better than my last game I was enjoying Godfall and their godawful dev team

[fiery bramble]

Is there any benefit at all to giving gifts past the first one? I saw something here yesterday about someone requiring six gifts but I skimmed past it

[weary jackal]

With 5 characters, if you give 6 nectar and an ambrosia to them you get a companion

[wise oasis]

Yeah, nice seeing sgg people pop up to help. Coming from other games its really nice

[fiery bramble]

Got it, thank you

[brisk trail]

its also required for epiloge

[outer fulcrum]

Ah that’s what ambrosia is for final friendship? I been saving mine

[wise oasis]

you also get a cute little picture in the keepsake box next to each person's keepsake

[weary jackal]

Also if you give a second nectar to Hades after you unlock the hearts past his first, you get his keepsake

[wise oasis]

very important

[fiery bramble]

Call me Oprah of the Underworld then, everyones getting a gift

[wise oasis]

[outer fulcrum]

And smaller team and pays more attention to their game and community 👍👍

[thick lark]

Just got done with Bone Hudra and really qish Jade's said "So no head?" as a one liner.

[weary jackal]

Someone choose for me, Artemis or Zeus

[fiery bramble]

Art

[weary jackal]

I feel bad always angering Zeus in these

[fiery bramble]

He's got it good, he deserves to be annoyed every now and then

[wet frigate]

Artemis best girl I always feel bad when I get Aphrodite va Artemis and have to pick aphro because of her stupid heart attack

[ripe rapids]

Best girl

[polar root]

Best girl indeed.

[wet frigate]

And I like to get aphrodite and artemis boon together which means a trial has a higher chance fml

[weary jackal]

Sometimes she chooses to spawn the heart literally inside of you and it always really irritates me when I lose my Butterfly stack to it

[polar root]

sadge

[wet frigate]

Pain

[ripe rapids]

Naked Aphro fans vs. Thicc Thigh Art Enjoyers

[short glen]

:( don't hit on Artemis

[wet frigate]

So Aphrodite vs Dionysus

[ripe rapids]

😳

[polar root]

umm

Dio?

[ripe rapids]

🙏

[fiery bramble]

Apro wins every time

Which is good, because Dio is chill enough to not care

[polar root]

Dio got T H I C C er thighs in my book

[ripe rapids]

He got something else thick

Sus

[polar root]

Uhhhhh

[ripe rapids]

🤨

[polar root]

let's get back to Hades things shall we?

[weary jackal]

[polar root]

Hades thing Hades thing

[wet frigate]

Uhhhhhh thinks of hades topic

[fiery bramble]

Is there anything easier than Convenience Fee?

[polar root]

Bouldy is T H I C C est of all

[polar root]

dmg control?

[short glen]

Damage control

[polar root]

if you have the aspect for it

chiron gud gud

[short glen]

Unless you're cringe bow user

Except Chiron apparently

[thick lark]

God damm level 5 Heartbreaker Flourish on the Gloves is so good. Literally just stun locks everything.

[fiery bramble]

Im literally using Chiron right now lmfao, just finished a run with it decided to turn up the heat

[wet frigate]

Yeah I literally always have both dmg controls on

[polar root]

good

[wet frigate]

Free hear

Heat

[wise oasis]

tight deadline 1

36 mins is more than enough

[wet frigate]

Yeah that too ^

[polar root]

tight deadline 2?

[fiery bramble]

I was thinking that, I finished last run in 28 mins

[weary jackal]

So like
I just got an Epic Dionysus’s aid
And then an epic Quick Favour from Hermes
Charon mate, what is up with you

[polar root]

even TD 3 is not that hard after you get used to it

[wet frigate]

I think extreme measures 1 is also fairly manageable and its good to start practicing the fight for last heats

[weary jackal]

I just noticed I somehow got to 8 heat and didn’t notice
First skelly statue it is

[wet frigate]

Woooo

[weary jackal]

Double Forced over time and double damage control

[polar root]

EM 1 definitely not bad.

[wise oasis]

go ri4 to start

[fiery bramble]

Is there a reliable, easy to read source online that shows each gods boons so I dont have to keep asking you guys basic questions lol

[wise oasis]

the codex in game has all the boons

[outer fulcrum]

You can view boons in game in the lore

[fiery bramble]

That makes sense lol thanks yall, another basic question down

[wet frigate]

Codex has the boons and when ur doing a run itll highlight which boons you have for like tier 2, duo and legendaries so you can search for them

[wise oasis]

It also shows you the prerequisites for all the boons

[weary jackal]

(You need to buy that for 60 gems)

[fiery bramble]

I keep diving into rooms William Nilliam, hoping the God has what I need

[wise oasis]

doesnt detract from what I said

[ripe rapids]

How many runs have you done

[fiery bramble]

23, Ive beat Hades like 5 times

[weary jackal]

Just saying

[ripe rapids]

Oh

[fiery bramble]

4 times

[ripe rapids]

Nvm, I was gonna talk about learning it as you have more runs

[fiery bramble]

Yeah I just sometimes forget exactly which boons some Gods offer, and mix them up with others

[sterile yacht]

So there's a locked aspect on the weapons. I've escaped once. How do I unlock those aspects, without being too spoilery

[weary jackal]

4 of my 5 combat boons are Artemis rn

[raw herald]

Its pinned on #h1-for-new-players I believe

[fiery bramble]

Success

[wet frigate]

Artemis Aid is based and I will stand by the opinion till I die

[weary jackal]

My aid is dio rn

[void vigil]

how to get the hidden aspects is pinned in #h1-story-discussion

[weary jackal]

Holy asphodel, Hermes just gave me 3 epic boons to choose from
Swift strike
Swift flourish
Greater haste

[fiery bramble]

Greater Haste all day

Gotta Go Fast

[weary jackal]

I’m using the aspect of Chiron so I think flourish would be better, so I don’t get locked in place using the homing missiles

[void vigil]

also, if you dont have the codex index yet, the wiki has all the boons listed on every gods page

[raw herald]

Flourish is good on chiron

I'd take it if it's epic tbh

[weary jackal]

And I get a fountain too

[fiery bramble]

Awesome, thank you. I do have the Codex I just neglected to use my eyes

[outer fulcrum]

Man I love festive feast Lon cast

Lob

[void vigil]

you have the upgrade for it?

[outer fulcrum]

Dunno what the upgrade is I usually get extra casts n other stuff to support it

[void vigil]

no i was talking to freaux 😅

[thick lark]

When you get the sack for Cerberus is the only healing fountain in that room or is it in the other boss room?

[fiery bramble]

I think thats the only one

[thick lark]

Ah

[fiery bramble]

Oh sorry , which upgrade?

[short glen]

It is the only one

[thick lark]

Ah alright.

[void vigil]

the codex index, the one which displays the boons in the codex

[thick lark]

Thats rly annoying.

[fiery bramble]

Yes I do, I just never clicked the button to access it lol

[void vigil]

ah i see lol

[weary jackal]

Chimera jerky with Chiron is great

[void vigil]

yeah its really handy

[weary jackal]

Does anyone else ever get slightly mixed up between Charon and Chiron

Got Concentrated Volley, I win this run now

[fiery bramble]

Knowing I can see each Gods boons is legitimately changing up how I play entirely right now lol, I wasn't having much trouble before but now I can actually build

[weary jackal]

Concentrated and Piercing volley together make such a joke out of the shield enemies in elysium

[fiery bramble]

Thats what im using at this very second, I cant wait

[boreal pier]

in any instance is killing Charon actually practical

he’s hard asf

[wise oasis]

you get 300 dollars, and a loyalty card for that run (20% discount)

[boreal pier]

I struggle against him haha

[weary jackal]

Honestly Concentrated volley on Chiron is just broken with any other upgrade

[fiery bramble]

It feels like anything with Chiron is broken lol, Ill have to resist using it too much

[weary jackal]

give in to your temptations

[mint coral]

nothing wrong with using this you are good with lol

says as i do another hidden shield run

[weary jackal]

I underestimated how good Dio’s call would be

It is tearing through things

The baseline in Elysium is so doom-esque

[thick lark]

I am on Hades phase two on 13 hp what are his attacks aaaah

[whole ridge]

Zeus's call is so bad xD

[raw herald]

It's one of the best calls for DPS

Because if you get jolted/double strike/splitting bolt, it does a ton of damage

[thick lark]

Ffs I got hit by an exploding skull thing damm

[fiery bramble]

I didnt realized Chirons stayed locked on for a little bit, and you can hit special more than once while still being locked on lol, sweet. Also, with Chirons, does Triple Shot cause 3 different lockons?

[dusky wedge]

Not sure on practicality, but most of the time, you don’t need to

[raw herald]

No, just the arrow in the middle

[fiery bramble]

Gotcha

[dusky wedge]

3 specials at most

[weary jackal]

Support fire let’s go

And I’m going into hades with a chimera jerky still active

[fiery bramble]

So Asterius will go down in about 45 seconds, sweet

[weary jackal]

Hades just Got destroyed

My 16 win streak continues

[stoic flame]

nice

[kind swan]

||So, how do the companions work?||

[stoic flame]

every companion has a different attack

[weary jackal]

200 gemstones for a Titan blood?
I’m not certain that’s worth

[stoic flame]

but the general idea is that you summon ur companion to attack the foe once

[thick lark]

What is Titan Blood used for btw

[dusky wedge]

To encourage you to get working on different weapons

[weary jackal]

No I mean
I give Titan blood
Get 200 gems

[dusky wedge]

Upgrading and unlocking weapons

[dusky wedge]

Oh

[thick lark]

Don't I just need keys for unlocking weapons?

[mint coral]

weapon aspects unlocked after getting all weapons

[weary jackal]

Titan blood is for unlocking and upgrading weapon aspects

[thick lark]

Oh. I still gotta unlock that bird lookin one

[dusky wedge]

If I remembered correctly (and my math isn’t wrong), converting gemstones to blood from the shop costs you 200gems as well

[weary jackal]

10 gems for one key x 100 is what, 1000 gems?

[raw herald]

Yes

[weary jackal]

5 keys to a nectar
10 nectar to a diamond
2 diamonds to an ambrosia
1 ambrosia to a Titan blood

[dusky wedge]

Yeah, imma give up

I guess my math is… err, wonky lmao

[weary jackal]

Good thing you get 2 Titan blood per heat level

[chrome wharf]

1 blood = 1 ambro = 2 diamonds = 20 nectar = 100 keys = 1000 gems

the 200 gems is the limited "offer" to turn 1 ambro blood into 200 gems

[mint coral]

isnt blood to 200 gems?

[weary jackal]

That’s what I have
And just did because decorations are nice

[chrome wharf]

oh yeah blood

[weary jackal]

I love how Zag comments every time you buy a new chair

[chrome wharf]

also how Dad comments about various furniture purchases

some are even item-specific

[kind swan]

Are there any use for keys once you've unlocked everything?

[chrome wharf]

you ought to be displayed with the rest

[weary jackal]

Converting them into nectar

[chrome wharf]

save 15 for the 15 keys -> 1 blood deal

[stoic flame]

yeah thats all thats left

or else save it up for that theme

it looks okayish

[weary jackal]

Oh neat a free 4 diamonds because I keep forcing the house contractor to build more chairs

And another 5 for getting the first skelly statue too

Guess I’ll go buy Last Words so it can be spooky time all the time

[azure osprey]

Guys

I wanna die

I just found out

Dusa REJECTS YOU

WHAT THE F

[signal aspen]

Yeah

Pretty pog

[azure osprey]

NO ONE WANTED YOUR STUPID HEAD ANYWAYS

[ripe rapids]

That implies that Zag makes a move

[weary jackal]

I’m not laughing what are you talking about

[azure osprey]

You can romance dusa

But then this heartless B

[ripe rapids]

YOU can romance her

I’m fine with best girl

[azure osprey]

We are stuck with the UGLIEST PEOPLE

[ripe rapids]

Smh my head

[azure osprey]

We can’t even date the tree girl

[weary jackal]

What’s Erebus btw

[azure osprey]

Its either Emo guy

Or Emo girl

We can’t even date our STEP MOM

[weary jackal]

You take that back, Than is a good boy

[azure osprey]

He’s mean to Boulder guy I hate him

[weary jackal]

You do know Sisyphus was like
A terrible person irl

[azure osprey]

Do you mean before he died in game

Or in real life

[weary jackal]

In actual history

[azure osprey]

Okay but he has a Boulder friend now

also this is a game

[signal aspen]

It's a place you can go to after you get your first clear, Erebus gates require 5 heat in tart, 10 in asphodel, and 15 heat in elysium to enter. They have a bunch of enemies in them and you have to kill them without getting hit, if you do that you get some cool stuff

And if you get hit you get some onions

[azure osprey]

Also if we can date Meg

Why does she still

fight us

[signal aspen]

It's her job

[pure egret]

Hey quick question if you can help me out here, From what I understand to get the epilogue I need to forge 5 bonds with people, I think I've done this now but its not triggering Persephone to give me the task

[azure osprey]

Okay but she doesn’t have to try

[signal aspen]

You need to max your bonds with the olympians

[azure osprey]

Are you kidding me

[signal aspen]

No

[azure osprey]

Does that include

Ice lady

Chaos

And Hermès

[signal aspen]

Ice lady

And hermes

No chaos

[azure osprey]

Or hell tree lady even

[signal aspen]

No

The Olympians

[azure osprey]

Alright

[weary jackal]

Chaos isn’t an Olympian

[azure osprey]

She’s a god

So

[signal aspen]

They

[weary jackal]

Chaos is a primordial being, I think they’re above the gods and Titans

[pure egret]

I've got them all maxed or as max as they can be and full entry completed I can't post a video or screen in here to show you what I'm at

[azure osprey]

Maybe you need to max their items aswell

Or give them the special nectar

Or something?

[signal aspen]

You have to give them ambrosia

[azure osprey]

I was correct let’s go

[signal aspen]

Except for demeter because you can't give her ambrosia until after the epilogue

[pure egret]

https://gyazo.com/ce529badc2071a0e30bfbfda36f8a134 I have these done if it shows up

[signal aspen]

You have literally none of them done

[pure egret]

huh? I can't seem to get them any higher then that or give them nectar any more when I see them why I'm confused to how to do it

[signal aspen]

You need to complete their favors

After that give them ambrosia

[weary jackal]

I have 600 obol in Tartarus already

[void vigil]

demeter at the lock counts, but for the rest of them you have to unlock the hearts and fill out the rest of them. also i believe its 6 olympians, not 5

[pure egret]

ah dang well I guess I'll have to keep on grinding it out then ty 🙂

[weary jackal]

It’s always so satisfying getting through the barge of death without getting hit

[kind swan]

How do you do Orpheus/Eurydice's quest?
Since they're both at their locks.

[weary jackal]

Keep going through their dialogue I assume

[brave portal]

Nectar to both

[signal aspen]

To progress further you will need to have:

Both Orpheus and Eurydice at a minimum of 5 hearts
Access to the Administrative Chamber (purchased through the House Contractor)
A conversation with Nyx (who must be at 5 hearts) about the Admin Chamber (which can also be triggered by starting Sisyphus' liberation quest)
A conversation with Hades about Orpheus' contract (which requires Orpheus to have started singing again)
A followup conversation with Nyx about Orpheus' sentence, in which she tells you the location of his file in the Admin Chamber

this is what the wiki says

[kind swan]

Ah, I need to keep Boozing Night Mom.

[brave portal]

Yeah sounds right, i got it like that

[weary jackal]

Yay I finally got to where Zag nicknames the bone hydra

[brave portal]

Lernie?

[weary jackal]

Yep

[kind swan]

Yeah, it's great.

[brave portal]

I think i've gotten a little too far in the game to have only beaten it twice

[weary jackal]

Wh-
How

[unborn remnant]

as long as you get there

and enjoy the process

[brave portal]

53 tries do that

Damn you theseus

[weary jackal]

I’m only on run 27 and I’ve beaten Hades 16 times

[brave portal]

So far i'm like 53 attempts and 14k enemies

I suck at this Game but i like it and that's all that matters

[kind swan]

Try focusing Asterius 1st as Thesus's is mainly "hide behind a pillar when you see the reticle." In the 1st phase.

[raw herald]

~800 attempts, <400 clears

[wise oasis]

Less than 400?

[raw herald]

Speedrunning resets

[brave portal]

I've already figured out how to get to Hades every time

[raw herald]

And a lot of my runs are high heat now

[wise oasis]

Time to beat your winrate!

[raw herald]

I've not been above 1:1 in so long haha

[brave portal]

It's now about making it fine out of the temple and get the correct blessings and upgrades

[signal aspen]

i have 634 runs and 420 clears

[stoic flame]

🗿

[wise oasis]

Tbh I'm at about the same, I've died so many times to progress the story at home

[stoic flame]

respect for the grindset

[wise oasis]

Gotta unfire dusa asap

[kind swan]

I have 6 clears and IDK how many runs off the top of my head

[weary jackal]

My Chiron special now does 1110 damage per burst
Get ready to die again, Hades

[ripe rapids]

What’s the lore justification to Zag staying in the Underwolrd

[wise oasis]

You'll see when you beat the game

[kind swan]

^

[ripe rapids]

😴

[brave portal]

You'll get to it

Just keep trying

[kind swan]

Well, I only have 1 more Ambrosia gift before I max out Dusa.

[weary jackal]

I always feel the need to chant along with the crowd after beating Theseus

[brave portal]

We all do

And also greet the good shade

[weary jackal]

Why can we not romance the good shade, smh

[stoic flame]

lmao

[brave portal]

Good shade is best character fr

[modern garnet]

Never date a fan, that's the first rule

[ripe rapids]

Disrespectful

[weary jackal]

Unhealthy Fixation is so good with the Aspect of Chiron
I feel it fairly obvious that everything is good with the aspect of Chiron by now

[modern garnet]

??????????? How did you get that from what I said

If they're a fan then it makes the power dynamics all weird, that's what I mean

[void vigil]

please keep it clean

[weary jackal]

Unhealthy Fixation and Splitting Bolt. What is this run

[ripe rapids]

You got it, Hoss

[modern garnet]

Heck yeah chiron rocks

[weary jackal]

Hades gon Die tonight

I shot once and like 7 vermin died instantly

Oh cool I just fulfilled Hermes’ prophecy

This is gonna be fun

[ripe rapids]

What does Hell Mode do

[modern garnet]

Sometimes when you take over half your health in damage, you get a shield for a short period of time

Hell mode turns that off

[ripe rapids]

That’s it?

[modern garnet]

And turns a few other heats on by default, and disables God mode

[ripe rapids]

What’s god mode

[modern garnet]

God mode is damage resistance. If you die with God mode on, the resistance you get increases.

[ripe rapids]

[modern garnet]

It's in the settings

[weary jackal]

Aka Easy mode

[ripe rapids]

😴

[brave portal]

What

So basically baby mode?

[tender oyster]

I'm working towards releasing sisyphus can anyone explain how i find his contract in the admin room??

[brave portal]

Probably nyx knows

I mean she told me where orpheus' was

[ripe rapids]

Why releasehim

[modern garnet]

Well some people aren't as skilled at video games and they want to enjoy them as much as we do

[ripe rapids]

He gives you stuff

[brisk trail]

it's not baby mode.

[ripe rapids]

And is a bad person

[weary jackal]

Why does everyone in this game speak dog
And also, how does Zag seem to understand Charon

[modern garnet]

Yeah you gotta talk to nyx until you get the contract

[brave portal]

I don't think he does

[ripe rapids]

‘Mommy free these criminals for me’

[modern garnet]

No one really deserves eternal torment, right?

[brave portal]

Debatable

[ripe rapids]

Pushing a Boulder isn’t really torture

[modern garnet]

That's an infinite amount of suffering

[brave portal]

People that don't pet cerberus everytime they get to the house do

[weary jackal]

It is while you’re being whipped

[ripe rapids]

Also you get to talk to a hot prince every few days

Soooo

Worth imo

[modern garnet]

Ok, your preferences are noted

[weary jackal]

Poseidon I beg you I don’t need more fishing spots right now

[brave portal]

Haha fishing go brrr

[weary jackal]

I just started a heat 10 run and surfer uncle just shows up and is like “Hey, you like fishing?”

[short glen]

Man, imagine being able to catch legendary fish and complete the last prophecy on my list

[brave portal]

Surfer uncle

[modern garnet]

Just gotta press the button really fast

[short glen]

I lack the reaction time

[weary jackal]

If I have to survive entirely off of the damage from Pierced butterfly I swear to the gods I’m going to come up to Olympus just to throw Poseidon off

6 chambers and I don’t get a single useful boon
There aren’t even any fishing spots in most of Tartarus

Thunder flourish from Charon tho
