Take Heightened security and regret your choices 5 seconds later

junior terrace
#

Man I suck with the sword

#

I feel like I always take damage in stupid stuff

signal aspen
#

Well stop doing that

mint coral
#

Thanks hypnos

terse finch
#

what the max level for boon i tho was 4 but i got my common at 5

thorn marsh
#

there's no max level for a boon

#

unless u mean rarity then the max rarity for a normal boon would be heroic

terse finch
#

so can i keep upgrading them?

thorn marsh
lost ermine
#

The highest level boon anyone got is 51 afaik

#

Doesnt seem like theres a hard limit

thorn marsh
#

well there's sort of a limit

terse finch
#

But there is any reason to go up with lo rarity?

thorn marsh
#

the amount of poms/upgrades u can get in a run

thorn marsh
#

if the boon is insignificant and doesnt do much dont waste a pom on it though

terse finch
#

so normal pom increase of 1 (half is just random ) but there is double pom too right or that got removed?

#

i didn't get one ever only hear of the legned of the double pom

lost ermine
#

There is double pom, you can get it from erebus gates and styx

mint coral
#

Erebus gates, expensive poms and sweet nectar duo

thorn marsh
#

sweet nectar also allows +2 poms

lost ermine
#

If you have Sweet Nectar the double poms become triple poms

thorn marsh
#

the miniboss poms in styx are double poms

mint coral
#

Imagine if sweet nectar afected the pom keepsake (wich name i never remember) dusa

thorn marsh
#

if only

terse finch
#

IF i want have a run with no boons I tried to start with the keepsake of the dude with the rock but evry time i get a god boon and the keepsake is usless anyway to avoide those?
Or the only possibilty is to spend Darkness at the mirror

mint coral
#

For total boonless run you want the fated authority to re roll boon rewards

thorn marsh
#

yeah

#

and since u literally cannot avoid a boon

mint coral
#

Tho you cant avoid mini boss boons

thorn marsh
#

so what u do

mint coral
#

(maybe with luck of erebus/chaos)

thorn marsh
#

is u unbind the ability that the boon affects and not use that ability until u sell the boon

terse finch
#

its wierd that u cannot sell them immidialty but if you try to upgrade boons that cannoot be upgrade with the pom you get only 115 gold

mint coral
#

Is a random amount of gold i think

thorn marsh
#

so thats profit

#

unless they are expansive poms in styx

terse finch
#

how much is the discount for the loyalty card?

mint coral
#

20%

terse finch
#

is the only way to get discount?

mint coral
#

Ye

terse finch
#

there is no keepsake that increase your money gain by doing a challenge ?
Plutus or something like that. I know there isn't

mint coral
#

Hermes boon gives a bit of money by each chamber

dry mauve
#

there's a mirror talent that gives you more money at the end of each biome

cunning moon
#

yo im ab to get the game any tips

modern garnet
#

"Dont get hit lmao'

cunning moon
#

thx

#

will def use that

terse finch
#

@mint coral is it worth it?

#

@dry mauve would be cooler with a challenge

mint coral
#

If you get it early is great

#

Also each mini tunnel of styx counts for the boon

terse finch
#

you can try luck with the giving the drink to the rock you get 6% more coin if am not wrong

cunning moon
#

ok so what r boons

terse finch
#

i have no idea what is the mini tunnel

mint coral
#

Those small chambers before the last chamber with the reward

terse finch
#

I thought you need to do all of them

modern garnet
#

Once you get the bag you can leave

terse finch
#

what bag

#

xD only reached there 3 times in my 150 runs died form poison evry time

mint coral
#

Styx work this way
You pick a tunnel then kill any rats until the last chamber for your reward then go back to the shop
After that any other tunnel will have a chance to have a sack and a fountain

#

Once you get it you can just give it to cerb then styx is done

#

You can still do other tunnels but they wont have fountains

kind swan

#

Only took visiting Chaos like 20 times but I finally got the voiceline to come up again

#

Hopefully my game doesn't bug out a 2nd time

terse finch
#

I got the pc to crash only 1 time proably was some audio memory leack issue

onyx leaf
#

It didn't even crash I was just stuck in place and couldn't move at all

terse finch
#

you got cliped inside an object?

cunning moon
gloomy mantle
thorn marsh
#

u can have a set god pool of 4 excluding hermes

cunning moon
#

im so wxcited to get home from work to play

onyx leaf
#

Or whatever you would call them

terse finch
#

rafts, but yeah those are kinda wierd the balls for the level are solid objects too so there could happend wierd intectation with the moving platfrom

onyx leaf
#

Yeah and of course it happens the 1 time I'm trying to get an aspect and it takes it away lol

white leaf
#

Any tips for getting ||Thanatos|| spawns? Need to max their hearts for one of my last achievements

onyx leaf
#

I'll finally have it after this run though

onyx leaf
#

As far as I know there's no real way to get him to show up more or less often in runs

thorn marsh
#

yeah its random

white leaf
#

Ah well, I'm only halfway through maxing the keepsakes so it'll come eventually

#

Just wanted to know if there was a method to get him to appear more

terse finch
#

assuming you did all the dialoge in Tartarus with the guy with the rock?

white leaf
#

I believe so

#

I haven't had one in a while

terse finch
#

there should be one without him with the guy with the rock that says he shouldn't re appear again for a while.

near dune
#

I’ve talked to Achilles like 15 times and he still won’t let me gift to him

#

It’s locked

white leaf
#

Sisyphus I presume

thorn marsh
#

oh

#

that one dialogue when than appears with sisyphus

terse finch
#

@thorn marsh no idea. I just wanted to figure out at what dialogue he was

thorn marsh
#

that has nothing to do with the rng of than showing up iirc

terse finch
#

idk since then i got him evry times in my run in the frist room of tatarus and asfa thing there with the red staff. more rare occation at the eli thing

thorn marsh
#

its rng

terse finch
#

I must have a super seed

#

That ending was

#

Running an Aphro Special on Eris Rail with triple bomb residentzag

#

Its so fun

gentle mason
wet frigate
#

OMG I THINK I GOT MY FASTEST HEROES BOSS KILL

#

I DIDNT TRACK IT BUT HOLY

manic bobcat
#

nice

#

with what?

wet frigate
#

Eris Rail with Apro Special, I had Triple Bomb and Rocket Bomb on it

#

I also used a than at the start of the fight

near dune
fiery bramble
#

Arthur's has been really underwhelming for me

near dune
#

Can someone help me

fiery bramble
#

Doesn't seem to be too useful if you're not getting hit too much, and without an attack speed upgrade it just feels weak

near dune
#

How do you complete dark reflections?

fiery bramble
#

You have to beat Hades with both sides of the mirror filled, so one run with the red side filled, one run with the green side filled. I believe, I may be off

#

Idk if it needs to be one point in each side of the mirror, or maxed

wet frigate
#

You dont have to do the entire side, just make sure you use each one, so if you want you can set it to the mirror you usually use and then just swap one

#

You dont have to do each side all at once

fiery bramble
#

Ah ok

#

Is there a way to track which mirror bonuses were used and which weren't?

#

I think there may be a prophecy for that I'll check after this run

near dune
#

Gotcha

twin thistle
#

wait a sec. so you can use the acorn to save scum boss fights huh thanthink

wet frigate
#

The prophecy highlights which ones you have escaped with

jade kraken
#

does anybody know of a mod that lets you add whatever boons/daedulus buffs you want?

#

i cant find one on nexus

thorn marsh
#

uh

#

are u taking throughout the entirety of the run

jade kraken
#

?

#

no i just want to mess around

thorn marsh
#

or just the start?

jade kraken
#

and start a new world

thorn marsh
#

u could codex mod

jade kraken
#

oh thx

wet frigate
#

I did my first 8 heat run lets goooo

cunning moon
#

wet frigate
#

Yeah

twin thistle

cunning moon

cunning moon

Have fun! Its a great game

tulip ridge
#

can you take chaos portals with <22 hp if you aren’t holding the egg?

modern garnet
#

No it doesn't let you

#

If you don't have the health for it, you can't go in

tulip ridge
#

Shame

short glen
#

Dang, I wish it just killed you mid animation, would be hilarious

fiery bramble
#

Theseus just called me out for hiding behind pillars lmfao

modern garnet
#

In asphodel and elysium you could activate enough traps to activate a defiance so you'd have enough health

tulip ridge
#

I was gonna run guan yu, which took my health down to 15, and was wondering what would happen

#

Kinda sad it doesn’t kill you in the animation

hollow magnet
#

On a great run

#

3 defiances in the Styx

#

Shield of chaos +2 shields thrown after a bullrush, +200% special damage after a dash, +48% special damage from chaos, attacks and bullrush inflict doom, dash leaves a blade rift, battle rage

#

This might be the run

opaque heron
#

What boon did your shield throw get?

hollow magnet
#

Oh yeah, I forgot

#

Drunken flourish, 9 damage per second

opaque heron
#

Niiiice. Did you get the Duo Boon?

hollow magnet
#

Also Curse of Nausea

#

Yup

opaque heron
#

Yeah, that little boon does so much lol

hollow magnet
#

Dionysus build on shield is OP as fudgesickles

opaque heron
#

Just keep in mind, even walking into the Final Boss w/ 3 DDs can still go poorly.

hollow magnet
#

DDs ?

#

Oh yeah

#

I know

#

I know shadegrief

gentle mason
#

Curse of Nausea while throwing multiple shields is pretty great.

hollow magnet
#

Oh, I also have + 4 bounces on the shield

#

Between enemies

opaque heron
#

Not gonna lie I had a case where I walked in with 4 DDs (Thanks Chaos) and still lost

wise oasis
#

Just stay calm and you got this

hollow magnet
#

And +10% special speed

wise oasis
#

Don't get excited and take your time

opaque heron
hollow magnet
#

Just a question, is it just me or do the bonus shields from Chaos just come back to you immediately ?

#

Yeah I thought so

#

It would be broke as [REDACTED] otherwise

opaque heron
#

The bonus shields effectively don’t matter for getting your attack back if that’s what you mean.

hollow magnet
#

No I mean they just hit an enemy once then go away

#

They don't bounce between enemies

#

Anyway

opaque heron
hollow magnet
#

Should I do the skull rooms first in Styx ?

thorn marsh
#

you shotgun them

#

they are easier unless tiny vermin imo

#

First victory !

signal aspen
#

Nice

hollow magnet
#

Didn't even need to use a defiance

#

Get DESTROYED Dad !

whole ridge
#

Just a quick lesson for people struggling on Hades.

Don't get greedy

#

That is all.

#

I poked in and messages were a little ways back.

hollow magnet
#

True

#

Most of his stuff is easily dodged

whole ridge
#

Yeah, the spin attack especially. He goes far enough with it that just dodging into him causes it to whiff more often than not.

#

What gets me more often than not in his fight is when he summons the adds on phase 1, as if I don't have armor break stuff usually they can take a second as Hades gives them rather bulky armor

#

His lasers if you have the time are best just dodged into to hug up dad because they miss if you're right on him, first half of second phase he can't get them turned around fast enough if you get behind him, free damage both cases. And if ya can't close the gap in time just hide behind the pillars

#

The pots can be rough if you don't take care of them though, as Hades can break them too

short glen
#

just use arthur, pots can't hurt you in holy ground

mint coral
#

Or if you have any damage dealing dash, just dash through them

short glen
#

shhh, I'm advertising for arthur, I'm getting paid to do this

raw herald
#

Or do both, damaging dash on Arthur

whole ridge
#

Arthur is amazing I agree, but for those that haven't had a clear yet can be a little hard to get.

#

Because it at bare minimum costs 12 Blood to get, 5 blood used to unlock at least 5 second aspects on weapons, 4 more blood put into the sword, and then another 3 to unlock it.

#

And if ya haven't beat Hades yet, you can only get 6 from bounties

#

Well, until you beat Hades for the first time, then doors really open up

#

I just need 6 more blood to have unlocked every aspect. Then I'm gonna set up all the hidden aspects on display and probably drop the game for a while xD

#

I also need to get to Asterius to get the awakening words for Gilgamesh too

gentle mason
whole ridge
#

Yes

#

I don't have the time or life to grind out a total of 306 Titan Blood

#

So having them all available is enough for me

#

I already completed the story anywho

fiery bramble
#

I can't wait to grind out 306 Titan blood

#

Paperwork with Meg? Don't think so. I did a bit of tumbling with her in the bedroom though.

hollow magnet
#

Oof, the Rail with Drunken Flourish is good

#

Basically instant 5 stacks

raw herald
#

You mean strike, right?

#

Attack

hollow magnet
#

Dionysus is my favourite god

#

Yeah

ripe rapids
#

Drunken Rail is sus

whole ridge
#

Ooo~ neat

ripe rapids
#

consent is important

hollow magnet
#

My best runs have been with him and the Shield

#

I almost beat Hades' first phase on like my 5th run with a crazy hangover build

whole ridge
#

His call is better than I gave it credit for prior. Don't even need to use the full call.

hollow magnet
#

Also, random thought

#

Is it me or is Cast completely useless

raw herald
#

A lot of people think cast is useless, and I strongly disagree

ripe rapids
#

Dio cast? or in general

hollow magnet
#

Just cast in general

#

I've never used it

ripe rapids
#

cast is free ranged dmg

gentle mason
raw herald
#

Well, it's another damage source, what's not to like

ripe rapids
#

unless you want close range casts like a weirdo?

raw herald
#

Even with no boon, it still does 50 damage and can cancel attack/special animations and be cancelled itself

mint coral
gentle mason
raw herald
#

Current anyheat speedrun wr uses a cast build, they are ridiculously strong when built correctly

thorn marsh
whole ridge
#

I'm used to Artemis' where saving for full gives you double the arrows anyways xD

#

But yeah, I noticed.

thorn marsh
#

oh

gentle mason
#

And the top of leaderboard for anyheat is pretty much all cast aspects with a little bit of Eris Rail sprinkled.

raw herald
#

Then people realised that Eris is pretty stinky

mint coral
#

"oops, all eris"

whole ridge
#

Poseidon's is good, especially if ya get the boon that adds an extra second or more, then you can use it like, whenever ya want

thorn marsh
#

eris suffers in sub 6 consistency because of its needs for clockets and u can only hit that top end until as late as first room in elysium

#

while achilles can hit there top end way sooner

#

and so can beo

raw herald
#

Beo hits it when you get mirage

#

Which can be in early asphodel

thorn marsh
#

or even in tarturas

#

tartarus

mint coral
#

eris needs poseidon dash, jolted, cluster rockets
(unless im forgetting somthing else)

#

well not need but wants

raw herald
#

Hermes

thorn marsh
#

the only problem is clockets imo

whole ridge
#

I am rather curious what using the greater call in the trial of gods thing would do though, as I never get to it before finishing the room

#

And there's an achievement for it

thorn marsh
#

it just acts like a regular call

mint coral
#

the god just comments on it iirc

whole ridge
#

Ah

mint coral
#

i used asphodel for that even if i play on switch

gentle mason
thorn marsh
#

i think its easier in asphodel and faster if u fine with taking a dd or two just for an achievement

whole ridge
#

Oh yeah

#

I forgot about that xD

hollow magnet
#

Just a question, the Aspect of Eris buff doesn't stack right ?

thorn marsh
#

no

hollow magnet
#

Argh

#

That would be so good

thorn marsh
#

which is exactly why it doesnt stack

gentle mason
hollow magnet
#

After having tried all the weapons, right now my tierlist is
Aegis >> Rail >= Fists > Bow > Spear >>> Sword

#

I really think the sword is useless, even though people have told me it has crazy damage if you use Nemesis and do DS > DS > Special repeat

lament night
#

Achievements pretty cool tho

You ever just backflip on someone so hard they die

Hello guys,
I know this probably has been asked multiple times... but as a small streamer who love playing Hades on stream, I'd like to also play the Hades soundtracks (which I love) while I'm in the just chatting section of Twitch. I've tried to reach the Supergiant team through this link a few weeks ago, but I didn't get any answer 😦 https://www.supergiantgames.com/blog/policy-on-lets-play-videos/
Is there any other way to get an approval ?

(oh and, I'm an affiliate, which means I can receive money from my viewers for my work as a streamer. Which means my stream is monetised)

weary jackal
#

Do it again SekiroSmile

high island
manic river
#

As you wish

#

Although I’m not entirely sure what the pact stuff does?

weary jackal
#

The pact of punishment adds modifiers to a run in exchange for extra boss rewards (blood, diamonds, Ambrosia)

modern garnet
#

it's got an explanation when you click the question mark

manic river
#

I read the stuff but still didn’t quite understand it

#

Is it worth doing them?

weary jackal
#

Yeah

#

Just try it out.

weary jackal
#

Whatever you do, don’t turn all of them on unless you wish for a swift and painful death

soft echo
#

modern garnet
#

usually when you try to get a reward you already using a weapon, you get darkness instead

#

but if you raise the pact by 1 heat every time, you get the regular boss rewards again

soft echo
#

I have 165 hours in Hades and I still can't do EM4 and sometimes even EM3 with certain other pacts on

weary jackal
#

EM3 isn’t that hard
EM4 is silly

#

Though
I’ve only tried it once

modern garnet
#

pacts make other pacts harder

soft echo
#

EM3 is hard with +40% enemy attacks and +20% speed and attack speed

modern garnet
#

EM3 and nothin else is a breeze once you learn it

weary jackal
#

EM4’s music is incredible tho

soft echo
#

#

My favorite boss music

weary jackal
#

I’m so glad I chose to buy it
5 diamonds is steep though

#

I'm in the faze of grinding for the themes at this point

#

All my weapons are maxed, bonds, companions

weary jackal
#

I’m still pretty early game tbh

#

How?

weary jackal
#

Currently on run 55

#

I have however beaten Hades like 37 times

soft echo
#

Oh oh oh

#

I thought you were saying I'm still early game haha

weary jackal
#

Lmao

#

I mean
I have almost 5000 hours in a certain game

#

What game..?

If I use eris rail and get the hammer upgrade that lets me rapid fire more specials, does the damage buff stack?

I have read nothing of actual Greek myth
And so I shall take Hades’ word as gospel

I would say, don't take any single telling of greek myth as gospel

fiery bramble
#

Don't take any myth as gospel lol

granite ether
#

Basically lol

fiery bramble
#

Regardless of the interpretation, there are standardized beliefs of a lot of different stories. Greek mythology isn't really a lost form of storytelling

weary jackal
#

I’m just now reminded of that one Alan Watt speech from Everything
Everything is a weird game

worthy vault
#

everytime i try to gift someone it just opens a menu how do i actually gift them

weary jackal
#

Are you pressing the right button?

granite ether
#

Are you using kbm or controller @worthy vault

worthy vault
#

controller

granite ether
#

R2 is the button to press to gift people

#

It should come up as a prompt when you're about to talk to them

#

Something like, R2; -1 nectar: gift

weary jackal
#

It’s always somewhat upsetting when Than or Dusa just vanish after you gift them something even when they had dialogue otherwise

fiery bramble
#

Or when you talk to them first and forget to gift

#

Though I guess both scenarios are still rewarding

worthy vault
#

for some reason it doesnt work on controller but i just used keyboard for it and it worked

weary jackal
#

Weird

azure surge
#

I'm beating the game by just dashing and omg dashing with ares blad rift, why is it so powerful lol

#

...has that Tiny Rat boss always been a thing, or was that added in the patch that dropped a few days ago?

weary jackal
#

The tiny rat boss has been in the game for a while yeah

#

He’s just weirdly uncommon compared to the dire satyr and giant vermin

kind swan
#

And the giant snakestone

weary jackal

I forgot it existed

Also, what modifiers does hell mode put on? ‘Cause I assume it’s Hard Labour 1, Callisthenics 1 and Forced Overtime 1

#

uh, what is the method to reroll the first boon/hammer you get when you start a run? I forgot

#

not using the dice

fiery bramble
#

I just beat Charon with no boons except Poseidons fishing one, no hammers, and using Zags Sword Aspect, first time ever fighting him lol what a mess

chrome wharf
#

except dying

pliant walrus
#

yeah I mean the dying part

#

like if I wanna change my god pool

hearty sierra
#

The god pool is restricted to 4~5 gods, max

#

Resets by dying/winning

#

I don't think purging the boon works to expand the pool

hearty sierra
#

His attacks are easy to read but hit wide and hurt like hell

fiery bramble
#

It was super easy, it just took forever. Well, not super easy, I did go through two DDs at only a hundred health. I was just planning to die on the run, but I saw a chance to get the achievement

#

I can see him getting annihilated with an actual build

hearty sierra
#

Yeah, again - easy read after several tries for me, but the damage output is painful

#

I shudder to imagine charon on FO2

surreal adder
#

anyone know if you use mods does it disable cross save?

vapid narwhal
#

mods have nothing to do with cross save

#

cross save is a Steam/Switch system level function

#

as long as your mods dont tamper with save file in any way it should be fine

hearty sierra
#

Yep, modding the game doesn't mess with cross save

#

Gave myself several hundred blood with the god codex in my hell mode save and it worked fine

I just wish the loyalty card worked for the diamond/Titan Blood in the Styx shop

#

But if the price raising pact doesn't, only fair the discount doesn't

hearty sierra
#

As you might've gathered, Shady is a companion - a keepsake of sorts for when you max out ||Sisyphus'|| heart gauge

#

If you activate it, it deals large damage to a target, and provides resources (gems and darkness)

whole ridge
#

For whatever reason sisyphus is now more rare than the other two for me

hearty sierra
#

So in doing that, you can gain more resources each run, allowing you to trade them in for more precious resources

whole ridge
#

I come across him like, once for every 5 times I come across Eurydice and Patroclus

hearty sierra
#

I come across eury the least, sadly

#

Love the nectar

whole ridge
#

Although on resource farms, I just wish that I could get any other trove than the health one when I buy the item that forces a treasure trove

hearty sierra
#

The trick with resource runs is to always check wells, always fish, and never buy anything other than resources from charon

#

Also forcing poseidon, too

whole ridge
#

Ye

#

Because Poseidon both has one that just gives resources and one that boosts resources

hearty sierra
#

And FISHING

whole ridge
#

Fishing is always fun foe me

#

How many different fish are in Chaos's realm by the way? I've only gotten a Projelly there (two times total)

whole ridge
#

Ah, so every biome except Erebus

hearty sierra
#

There's mati, projelly and I forget rhe legendary

hearty sierra
whole ridge
#

I have gotten two from all but Chaos and Greece. Gotten only 1 from Greece

hearty sierra
#

Don't think any fish will be there

#

I love greece fish

#

Ambrosia minimum, sturgeon grants blood

whole ridge
#

I mean, there's the river styx in the boss room for Charon

hearty sierra
#

Great fish

whole ridge
#

Which fish are I Greece by the way?

#

I think I got the Ambrosia one

hearty sierra
#

Bass, sturgeon and I forget what else

ember cypress
#

First time Flood Shot Hera Bow, what's the best duo boon?

whole ridge
#

I got the bass I think

brisk trail
#

mirage shot

hearty sierra
#

Mirage is always great for any cast boon lmao

#

Hunting blades mirage SHREDS

ember cypress
#

I was thinking of getting either Aphrodite or Ares on my attack (i have nothing on it atm), would Curse of Drowning be better than Flood shot on Hera bow

#

if not maybe I'll just get Aphrodite for protection

hearty sierra
#

Uh I have no experience with curse of drowning on hera but I don't think it'd be really good?

brisk trail
#

idk if curse of drowning even works with the shot

ember cypress
#

oki

brisk trail
#

but in any way its not as good as mirage

whole ridge
#

It sucks trying to get the Greece fish by the way, because there's what, only two rooms they can spawn? As far as I'm aware they can't spawn in Persephone's garden

hearty sierra
#

They can, actually

whole ridge
#

Ah, so three rooms they can spawn

hearty sierra
#

Still

whole ridge
#

Hades arena, sunset area, garden

#

Only sucks for codex completion

hearty sierra
#

Later on, the arena is the only place where they spawn

#

Have you completed the game yet?

whole ridge
#

Yeah, past 10 runs

hearty sierra
#

Yep

whole ridge
#

Wait

#

You don't get sunset past that or something?

hearty sierra
#

Uh

#

Remember how Persephone rides down into the underworld

whole ridge
#

Yes, but Persephone said to check up on the garden while you're at it to make sure it's tended to :o

hearty sierra
#

Yeah why would zag visit an empty cottage - the only reason you could, in the past, was for story progression

#

So yeah

#

The only place greece fish spawn now is one room

#

Hades arena

whole ridge
#

That sucks even more them xD

hearty sierra
#

Honestly, though, the spawn rate is pretty frequent

#

I get a greece fish every 2/3 runs

whole ridge
#

They must boost it after the 10th run, because all the runs I got, I've only had 2 fishing spots, one in a failed run where I died to Hades explicitly due to low DPS, and I had Poseidon's legendary boon that boosts odds of a fishing spot that run, and one in one of the 10 successful runs

tulip cradle
#

this might seem stupid but is there a way to check what weapons you beat what boss with

whole ridge
#

Have ya finished a run yet?

#

I assume you mean for bounties

tulip cradle
#

no i havent

whole ridge
#

Then you are rolling only on memory for now.

hearty sierra
#

For bounties, there's a way to check; but no way to see how many times you beat a specifc boss

#

Unless you write it down

whole ridge
#

After you finish your first run they tell you on the pact of punishment

tulip cradle
#

man

whole ridge
#

At least which bounties you have gotten

tulip cradle
#

dang

whole ridge
#

No way to get the numbers

hearty sierra
#

Lmao the pact is just "YA THOUGHT THIS GAME WASN'T HARD ENOUGH? YA THOUGHT WRONG"

#

Maxed pact is quite impossible

granite ether
#

You can check your past runs in the admin chamber if you've got that unlocked

whole ridge
#

And as far as I'm aware, the record room only tells you whether you complete a run or not

#

And 59 heat is extremely reliant on RNG or RNG manipulation to get anywhere yes

granite ether
short glen
#

Max all heat and just play until you get the ultimate perfect RNG of all epic boons of the best variety and don't have to purge the important ones and don't take too much damage and get good rooms and bosses

hearty sierra
#

But nowhere to explicitly check what they asked for, yeah?

whole ridge
#

It has been done before though

hearty sierra
#

Yeah 64 heat has been done

#

once in recorded history

short glen
#

Install mod for more heat

#

Go even further beyond THE LIMIT!

#

space noises

hearty sierra
#

Lmao imagine HL20

whole ridge
#

64 heat?

hearty sierra
#

Everyone one shots you

whole ridge
#

Does Hell Mode give 5 heat?

hearty sierra
#

So maxing it out grants 64

granite ether
#

It's been done, the run was seeded but it doesn't make it any less impressive

short glen
#

em54, 6 copies of all bosses at once in each boss room

hearty sierra
#

Zero mirror upgrades is IMPRESSIVE as hell imo

granite ether
#

Hell mode has 1 heat exclusive to it in personal liability

hearty sierra
#

Fresh file run is one I'd hate to do

#

I get that ME is a valid strat, but... Single dash and 50 health still sucks

whole ridge
#

Sorry I forgot I don't have EM4 unlocked yet xD

hearty sierra
#

EM4 is fun as hell

#

Love when people play it

#

Dragoon was doing it the other day and I laughed my arse off

whole ridge
#

I haven't messed with it but I heard final phase EM4 has the biggest banger track in the game

hearty sierra
#

Oh, yeah, if you want to listen to it ahead of time, it's called The Unseen Ones

#

i hate thesus so much

Timer with 1 second per region

hearty sierra
#

The frickin slamdancers jumping everywhere

#

FO2 is hell enough, thank ye very much

granite ether
#

Timer used to not adf the remaining time between regions

#

So td2 used to be quite cruel

hearty sierra
#

I prefer it the way it is rn though

void vigil
#

i think timer got added after the pact rework though

hearty sierra
#

If you get to hades and you're at 1min left... That feeling must suck

granite ether
#

Yeah think so

hearty sierra
#

Like, you did everything right, but just was a tad slow

granite ether
#

How td works now is great :3
TD3 can still be quite stressful

hearty sierra
#

TD3 is still a challenge if I'm not tryharding

#

Heck, TD2 I struggled with when I got back into the game after two months of not playing

granite ether
#

One of the scariest thing I've seen result from the pact in early access is bruiser elite snakestones
Holy heck they had yes much armour (even more effective hp than some bosses even)

hearty sierra
#

My god

#

Must rip through HP

#

Anti armor hammers were more useful, I guess

short glen
#

I saw that, but the timer doesn't actually seem to end the run, so it doesn't really seem to do anything??? At least not the part I watched

granite ether
#

You take 5 irreducable dps once the timer hits 0 though

rapid forum
#

when the timer hits zero, your health goes down by the second

short glen
#

Huh. Didn't notice it going down

#

Then again, I didn't know it did that, so why would I be checking

dusky wedge
#

Timer won’t kill you, it will just eventually reduce your hp to 1

whole ridge
#

I'm tempted to turn on God Mode to speed up grinding Heat relevant things, but at the same time as a Dark Souls vet, it feels like throwing away my honor

granite ether
#

Timer can kill you lol

#

It has killed runs

hearty sierra
#

You can just facetank more

whole ridge
#

I know, starts at 20% damage reduction, and if I recall, raises by 2% every death up to 80%?

hearty sierra
#

And then when you get to 80% resistance like mine, I just turn it on when I lose all my defiances

#

Yeah if you want it to not go up, just pause and turn it off on the last second

#

And yes, TD has made Charon bring me home more than once

dusky wedge
whole ridge
#

Now that sounds dishonorable xD I feel like it is a bit cheap toggling it mid run personally

hearty sierra
#

The toll of the bell strikes fear into me bones

dusky wedge
#

And then you died from 1 hit

hearty sierra
chrome wharf
#

Nah Hypnos has a special line if you die by timer

whole ridge
#

But yeah, I'll probably turn it on for my Heat runs specifically to get Skelly's useless trinkets

hearty sierra
#

My comfort build is God Mode + Stubborn Roots

whole ridge
#

I'll probably kill myself by timer like planned a little whole ago to get his line xD

hearty sierra
#

Unless you face tank EVERY shot from hades, nothing will kill you

#

Add in Vengeful mood to win without doing anything

chrome wharf
#

try superhigh heat

granite ether
whole ridge
#

How does one get stubborn roots?

hearty sierra
#

I mean, you get a specific line for getting killed by every possible enemy, I think

chrome wharf
#

Finally got the line for the dudes with clubs from playing 64 heat

whole ridge
#

Assuming it's the regen one

hearty sierra
chrome wharf
#

Athena/Demeter duo

hearty sierra
#

Its not a good duo but it's a nice fallback

whole ridge
#

I'm very bad at getting duos, does it require specific boons from said gods or just having boons from said gods?

chrome wharf
#

Demeter sasses Zeus in the convo

#

check codex for prereqs

whole ridge
#

Ah gotcha xD

hearty sierra
#

There's prerequisites to get each duo boon

whole ridge
#

I forget that boons are in there a lot

hearty sierra
#

Legendary boons too

chrome wharf
#

I had stubborn roots for my first ever clear and ended up not needing it

hearty sierra
#

I generally just get stubborn roots because I'm doing a crystal build and happened to have Divine dash

whole ridge
#

Legs have prereqs?

hearty sierra
#

It just happens

hearty sierra
whole ridge
#

I assume excepting Chaos's?

hearty sierra
#

Chaos also has prerequisites, actually

whole ridge
#

Ahh

chrome wharf
#

they have one too

#

the prereq is anything, but the penalty needs to have worn off

whole ridge
#

So I just met it for his and didn't know it when I got Pauper's Defiance xD

hearty sierra
#

The prereq I remember the most is hermes' and artemis'

#

Thankfully the prereqs for artemis's legendary actually are good boons

#

Support fire is good and pressure points works well

#

Exit wounds is just alright if you're not playing a cast-oriented build (or if you're playing with Blades/Lazer/Dio cast)

granite ether
whole ridge
#

Ah

#

So literally only able to get it on second chaos gate onwards xD

#

I imagine Hermes is similar given he's limited in availability?

granite ether
#

Yes and no

#

Having the hermes keepsake equipped is one of the prereqs for the legendaries

whole ridge
#

Oh wow xD

#

Poseidon is likely the first most see I assume given he forces the fishing leg on you as a starting boon after catching X amount of fish

hearty sierra
#

Also plume allows access to the best hermes boon in the game - RD when you first get your Hermes Boon

#

It's a good idea to have plume on

#

Well... Poseidon is special

#

The dude has two legendary boons

whole ridge
#

I assumed, one is the fishing one and the second probably does something actually useful for runs

#

Also himbo poseidon is best poseidon

raw herald
#

Second wave is pretty bad, it only does more damage if you have sea storm

#

And knocking enemies back twice often is a hindrance

whole ridge
#

Ah xD

hearty sierra
#

Chad "Poseidon is the himbo" stance versus Thad "Zagreus is the himbo"

kind swan
#

what's the stance on "dio is the himbo"?

hearty sierra
#

Dio is the frat boy and that's final

#

The prereq for a himbo is dumb, kind and handsome

#

Everyone in this game fits the "handsome" criteria

#

But Dio ain't dumb

#

Zagreus has "walking into a rake" and "greeting a venomous snake" as causes of death

#

If that doesn't qualify as dumb, I've no idea what does

short glen
#

You can't hold the snake thing against him

#

He's never run into a venomous snake before afaik

hearty sierra
#

Honourable mention to "Walking into a wall painted like the exit", then

kind swan
#

They add humorous causes of deaths down the line?

hearty sierra
#

With varying causes of death

#

So in short, yes

short glen
#

Pretty sure that the old man is making them up ngl

kind swan
#

I'll keep that in mind, as I think I'm close to getting her back, then.

short glen
#

He sounds extremely like he's being forced to improv a situation some times

hearty sierra
#

The gods have no canon recollection of the narrator so I'd assume he's just narrating as he dees fit

#

Only zag responds to the narrator

#

Maybe Zag is narrator?

#

:0

kind swan
short glen
#

No idea

kind swan
#

WAIT, REALLY!?

hearty sierra
#

He runs out of ideas in the end

kind swan
#

I was joking!

hearty sierra
#

It's hilarious

#

At the end there's like old age, and there's one where he just goes "Lord Hades claims that there is no escape. There is considerable credence to his claim."

#

And that's just that

kind swan
#

old age, yet I assume he still looks young b/c god.

What’s this anvil thing at the end stage do?

#

Does it swap 1 of my hammers for 2?

raw herald
#

Yes

hearty sierra
modern garnet
#

correct, but you dont get to pick

hearty sierra
#

Removes randomly, btw

junior terrace
#

Do I choose which gets removed

raw herald
#

No

junior terrace
#

Nvm

hearty sierra
#

It's bad if you've got good boons but good if you have bad boons

modern garnet
#

anvil is really funny because it's part of a very short list of things that can instantly destroy your run

raw herald
#

And it's bad on sword full stop

junior terrace
#

I couldn’t get heart rend to save my life

kind swan
#

iirc, you can save scum of you haven't gotten the sack yet (just reset if it gives you bad)

junior terrace
#

Yea I’m using sword

#

Atm

hearty sierra
#

Yeah then don't

modern garnet
#

it COULD work for the better

hearty sierra
#

The sword has a particularly bad upgrade you don't want

#

Several, actually

raw herald
#

You could get dash nova cursed slash or something

modern garnet
#

it's a big risk

#

but what if you get uh, really good

hearty sierra
#

Dash nova ain't bad on Poseidon

raw herald
#

But you could also get triple shot point blank flurry shot, which would be OP

hearty sierra
#

But cursed slash is... Cursed

modern garnet
#

also if you already have dash nova cursed slash, it literally can't give you dash nova cursed slash, right?

plucky latch
#

Yeah Dash Nova is the only bad one just because of its bug

raw herald
#

Correct

junior terrace
#

I have the one with backstab and uh

#

The ranged

#

One

raw herald
#

Those are both decent

modern garnet
#

oh yeah ranged one can clear pots

hearty sierra
#

Yeah just leave it and use your gold elsewhere

raw herald
#

The only ones that are better are double edge and breaching slash

#

And all the others are much worse

junior terrace
#

I’m just trynna get this clear and move on lol

Well time to fight hades

Nah that's all there is to it

soft echo

Hammers are all that matter

whole ridge

Is the anvil able to be worthwhile?

raw herald

There's a lot more than hammers

Bad hammer = just go jump in spikes in tartarus

plucky latch
#

Yeah. Nothing more than hammers

raw herald
#

I play modded now, can't relate dusa

hearty sierra
#

Lmao y'all trolling

modern garnet
#

Anvil can save your run but for it to do that, you'd have to be having a pretty bad run

plucky latch
#

Yeah, Anvil is only worthwhile if you don't like your current build

hearty sierra
#

There's only 1/2 hammers that meaningfully affect each weapon

#

3 for the spear IMO but that's just me

modern garnet
#

Sometimes you want it to replace your bad hammer but instead it replaces your good hammer

junior terrace
#

Mmm well

raw herald
#

Different depending on the weapon, bow has 4-5 but sword has 1

junior terrace
#

I couldn’t get heart rend

plucky latch
#

Yeah. Life isn't fun without risks

hearty sierra
#

Heart rend is awesome! Maxing out the mirror will help with getting duos/legendaries

junior terrace
#

I had so many Artemis and aphro but man

#

Not a single one same with my previous runs

#

Well back to it ig, I hate the sword

raw herald
#

Are you using gods legacy/dark foresight/god keepsakes?

#

And buying yarn/taking nectar from Eurydice to increase rarity chance?

junior terrace
#

Yea I did all that except I don’t have gods legacy

raw herald
#

That's the main one then

junior terrace
#

Yea trying to unlock it atm

dusky wedge
#

What’s the maximum encounter times we can have in an entire run? As in, how high can a fully upgraded Than keepsake can go?

raw herald
#

It's about 68% I believe

#

If you skip every midshop/free room and don't get hit

dusky wedge
#

So, 34 encounters. That’s not including Hades itself, right?

raw herald
#

Including bosses

#

And each big chamber at the end of each Styx tunnel

dusky wedge
#

So, it’s 33?

raw herald
#

I'm going to calculate it

#

Yep, 34 chambers that you are able to lose health from enemies, which includes all boss/miniboss chambers

hearty sierra
#

Divide that by 2, multiply by 1.2... about 40% max dodge chance from this?

#

Hm

#

Heroic hermes boon grants 40% dodge chance, zag fists grant 15

#

95% dodge chance ftw

#

Just facetank everything

raw herald
#

You can get 100% dodge chance on every aspect, just not full uptime

dusky wedge
#

Isn’t dodge chance multiplicative though? Or so I’ve heard

raw herald
#

It's additive

hearty sierra
#

Yeah but this is full uptime!

#

You don't even have to do everything

#

Just get vengeful mood and stand there

raw herald
#

True, but without the plume as well

hearty sierra
#

Be ghostly

#

Fair enough, you do need plume, means that you can't reliably get your build

dusky wedge
#

At 100%, that just mean full dodge? Can’t be hit at all?

raw herald
#

Yes

hearty sierra
#

Amazing

#

Zag can finally enjoy butterflies

With the Himbo stuff I'd argue Zag is a little too quick to piece things together to be a himbo

you just have to yell every 10 seconds and youre invincible

well you also have to get smouldering air to heroic

you gotta get the hermes boons to heroic

is he emotionally smart?

brisk trail

zag doesn't give me himbo vibes no

At the very least, he has enough awareness to apologize to Orphy when he realizes he was overly nosy

modern garnet

I dunno how to interpret the thing where he always just tells other people's secrets to the person the secret is about

#

he does that over and over again

hearty sierra

Zag is objectively the himbo in this game

and it always works out for him I guess

Words have only as much, and what, meaning we assign them

I remember when Persephone came back he was like "Wow! Your mom actually talks with you?"

Dusa was treated fairly. Hypnos is a punk, so he deserved it too probably

whole ridge
#

Because he never got any attention from Nyx

soft echo
#

I still simp for Nyx even if she's the canonical step-mom because I'm not Zag PepeYe

plucky latch
#

Maybe Zag really is Nyx's son...considering all her children turned into punks

Like, I feel bad for the guy, he just likes to be social and mama Darkness does everything short of disowning him

Says zagreus at the end

Murder!

#

10/10 character development

#

She learns to say zagreus btw

#

You have to turn off EM for it

whole ridge
#

Sweet!

#

She's still not at that point yet

#

I really like Alecto though. She's a total bish, but she is fun

plucky latch
#

Wait really?

#

You turn off EM and she says your name?

whole ridge
#

Eventually

hearty sierra
#

Yeah she learns to say zagreus over time

#

Doesn't happen if you always have EM on, though

Theseus is equally short without chariot!

#

I just feel bad for him being stuck with the king as a friend

soft echo

His stupid Macedonian

#

Theseus is a king? I must have missed that

hearty sierra
#

Lmao

soft echo
#

King of Athens

hearty sierra
#

Theseus is one of the more famous kings of greece

plucky latch
#

No wonder he sucks

soft echo
#

He's a king and a hero so he's a Hero-King

#

He's Marth from Fire Emblem

whole ridge
#

Yeah, King of Athens, the worst part of Greece that also was super powerful

#

Like, he is literally Athens personified xD

plucky latch
#

I either forgot or just tuned out his dialogue when he talked

#

He just sounds like a guy who has nothing important to say

#

headcanon that hades put all the awful proud self centered clowns in elysium so they'd be as far away as possible from him

Patroclus the clown

soft echo
#

Patroclus the sadboi

modern garnet
#

well patroclus is only there because of a deal achilles did, right?

soft echo
#

Is he?

plucky latch
#

Basically

#

I didn't care enough to ask Achilles more about it

whole ridge
#

Ye

modern garnet
#

they traded places or somethin

#

without patroclus's knowledge

whole ridge
#

Yep, because part of the contract was to not speak about the contract

soft echo
#

Off-topic: I think if they added another god ever, I think Apollo might be cool

Where you get a curse that makes them blinded for a sec and run in a circle lol

Legit, I love how when Zag asks why Hades never elaborated on what happened with Persephone and he meeting, he just reacts in actual confusion like "I thought your mother told you what happened"
