Theseus really ain't so hard - just remember he loves doing his spear attack, and after his spear attack is your time to attack him
He always turns around
Yeah, every time he throws his spear, no matter distance he always walks away from you for about 6 steps or so
Theseus fight is "don't get too hasty" basically
And I think EM Thesius doesn't have a shield
Em3 theseus doesn't have shield until chariot breaks down, yeah
And if he calls Artemis halfway through, super easy, Artemis only attacks center field I believe, meaning you can keep him on the outside and be safe from her
I think the hardest are def Zeus and Demeter
Hopefully it helps if you fight theseus against in the future
Okay, question for y'all - did theseus come into the ring just to fight zag? And if he did, how does he call upon the gods?
And that also leaves the question of demeter
What are your headcanons?
I'm gonna sound real dumb but what does headcanon mean
Your "theories"
Ah ok
We know that according to lore, theseus is the champion of Elysium
Does he have the gods' aid while he got that title?
I think despite how the game portrays them, the gods are still quite arrogant and respect his power and previous authority as king and hero of Athens
So that's why they're willing
Yeh, I never have had him summon Poseidon on me though, which is a bit odd
And I assume he can't summon Hermes
He can't
Thought so
That would be mad annoying
He can't summon hermes because hermes doesn't have an attack; he always summons gods that you don't have the boons of
Imagine if he had like, a mega low chance to summon Hermes and it's the harshest of his summons
So if you always have poseidon boons, he'll never call on poseidon
Tbh the poseidon one is kind of a joke
How many gods are there again not counting Hermes?
7?
Zeus, poseidon, ares, artemis, dio, aphro, demeter
8
Gotcha, so literally 1 shy of being able to force all on yourself
Hermes and chaos as supplementing gods
I think
chaos isn't even a god
they be a primordial entity 😉
Really?
if you get real lucky you can get 5 in tart, which means you can get 8 by styx?
I thought "well if you get your set 4 in Tartarus, can use trinkets to force one in Asphodel and then Elysium"
Making 6
Styx doesn't really grant new gods, I don't think
And tart doesn't always award 4
I usually get 2 gods in tart
you can get 5 in tart if you buy a boon from a shop and the next room is a god you don't yet have
Having 5 gods already sucks, anyway
But I can attest (due to mods) that theseus just calls a random god if you have all of them
Gotcha
Omg it's Nyaanyaa, the source of infinite Hades info
Not take certain rooms?
Purging and not picking gods
purging doesn't remove a god from your pool
The pool has 7 gods
I don't think we're talking about the same pool
Just get all the gods in one run, and complete the Monthly Challenge for that in the process.

ezpz
Challenge?
The Hades Monthly Challenges are pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat.
That one is from December last year. You can find all the previous challenges on the linked spreadsheet in the pins.
Neat
Ahh, it's a fan-challenge essentially
I thought it was like, an in-game thing
And was confused
Also do I have to keep chatting Hades up to unlock EM4, or is there some other pre-req
I'm already past run 10
I already have work orders cleared our as of current though. It's not in there xD
Yet
Idk then
I'll double check when I get home tho
Gonna be playing for a hit before running errands and getting first jab at pharmacy
Epic
Also is seamare the most rare or middle rare fish in Elysium?
Seamare is the legendary
Wait what is a legendary fish?
3 fish per biome, standard, rare, legendary
Excepting Erebus
Erebus has no fishies.
Chaos has fishes tho
Chaos decided to give me 1 fish ever in my 165 hours in the game
I have gotten two Projelly from Chaos up to now
He's probably gonna be the bigger pain in regards to finishing codex
Codex contractor and fated table thing are what i need for 100% ing at this point
This is getting on my nerves now whenever I didnt want asterius to show up he was right there and now i can get the awakening phrase he’s just gone
I just need Asterius for awakening phrase now myself
I get the butterfly orb more often than not though
i just notice i miss 2 keepsake one near the feather and the other near the stone sword, what are they
One should be Chaos, and the other one is someone you’ll meet much later in the game
Dude
And yeah, Chaos is probably the one near the feather, assuming it's the last in the second row, otherwise probably someone ya meet after you complete your first run
Gotta full call her, it also disables bosses for like a full second
Have you completed a run yet?
Demeter is one of them, the other two are Hades who ya can't get for a little while and someone you've not met yet but also won't be for a little while
Actually charming rats works wonders
Rats, satyrs, the zappy green things, greatshields...
If Hades is lazering you then the charm actually cancels the Lazer
Regular enemies usually are charmed for an okay bit
But yeah against bosses you have to charge it till it's full for the call to be useful against bosses
And it again stuns bosses for about a single second, long enough to disable attacks like the laser, but not long enough to matter
Hades has many three-hit comboes that you'd like to interrupt, though
Which is why ya full call on bosses, to max damage
So does asterius' beyblade attack
Ye, but the Beyblade is only on EM3 so irrelevant to him at the moment
Also when I get to EM3, recommended kill order?
Her call does a flat 2.5k regardless of rarity so I actually recommend taking it if there's no better boon
Ye
Besides it also makes the next call of the next rarity higher guaranteed too, if ya come across one
Is there a way to come across a Heroic rarity naturally by the way? Or does rarity need to be boosted by some means for it?
But thats the only way, other than rare crop/ambrosia
In other words only by boon replacement or Eury boon upgrading
And rare crop
An early exclusive access can help you find heroic boons really easily, though
Rare crop?
what is the file I need to backup for not losing my save data?
Demeter boon
It's a boon from Demeter that makes 1-3 boons common then upgrades their rarity every 3 chambers
The one that boosts rarity by chamber
Super nice in early game xD. Does it count the mini-chambers in Styx?
Mind elaborating? The game should auto-save
It does!
Yes it does
Pom flower counts too
Gotcha, ez take then when it comes up.
9 rooms for Heroic is nice
Especially counting the mini-rooms
12 rooms for heroic, actually
And it affects 3? Or is how many based on boon rarity when ya pick it up?
1 if common, 2 if rare, 3 if epic
Gotcha
And the ones it picks are random
That would be why I ignored it when I first saw it xD. It was common and most my others were Epic
And it can't pick Hermes boons, that would be broken if it did
Oh my, it can't pick Hermes? Nice~
Ah, yea, make Rush delivery Heroic
I assume it can't pick Chaos or Legendaries either?
19 gold side hustle
Can't pick chaos, legendary or duos
Can't get heroic chaos boons anyway
Ye
+4 dashes lmao
XD
+4 dash with Athena, may as well be Invincible xD
Even if you're not invulnerable, you'd be getting out of attack radius really quickly
Oh yeah
By the by, Hades call, how useful is it? Not accounting for the Keepsake requirement
I use it if I don't have a call
At styx, of course
Pure hilariousness
The comedy of it all makes it worth it
The fact that Hades' call is quite good is just icing
Gotcha
Take it invisibility disables the enemies until it wears off then?
Oh and yes, it does sound pretty funny using it on Hades xD
I finished the game
Well
Technically
I got the ending
Holy
Just not main stuffs
How do I progress
play more
Now your next objective is to get a maxed heart gauge with 5 of the 8 main gods
5 or 6, can't remember
Also I still don’t know how to unlock the keepsakes of the hades and that other dude
I don’t remember his name
He’s in the third area
Just give them nectar
He’s kinda a prick
Also I wonder if Zeus actually knows you aren't aiming for Olympus but he helps anyways to not get caught for his end of the whole deal
Pat? He gives you frickin death defiance
Gotta chat Hades up a bit
Have you seen my username??
Yeah but he’s like
He's awesome!
He's just depressed because he doesn't have Achilles in his life
Anyway, yeah, you just gotta talk to them more before you can gift them nectar
Remember, the two are a gay couple
Zeus, Poseidon, Artemis, Aphrodite, Ares, Athena, Hermes, Dionysus
Max 5 of these 8 gods' heart gauges
And you'll get the epilogue
Oooo
Then the game's story would officially be over
But then there's also the subplots
Nyx and chaos, Achilles and pat, Orphy and eury, Bouldy and Sisyphus
And romancing, of course
I call them a waste of Nectar and Ambrosia until ya get the companions first tho
Lots to do even after you roll credits
Also I'm still discovering new dialogue after 200 hours so there's that if you want to be a completionist
RIP romance with Dusa
Friendzoned at the end
But hey, can tumble in bed with death and bats tho
And honestly Nyx is lucky I like Chaos so much after what she did to Dusa
Otherwise I'd not be finishing her subplot
still waiting on Dusa bond, have maxed affection
Would like my Ambrosia back so I can not worry about it xD
I would love to, but 10 Ambrosia is a lot :x
I gotta work through the "Nyx a bish" Dusa subplot first
I assume I do at least
I just keep@giving them nectar right
You know I am glad nyx is mean to DUSA I HATE HER
How dare
Yep
And then ambro
And they have little quests to complete
Like Hermes wants you to beat charon twice in a row, ares wants you to kill 20k enemies, Dio just wants you to gift ambro 10 times
It's easyyyyy
But yeah it's their way of staggering your progress so you can't just "finish the game" in 40 hours or whatever
Dionysus assuming you've done Dusa's relationship should already be done
How do I grind 20k enemies
I haven’t even killed that much
kill more
The pact quest that increases enemy count
That, yes
Good idea
You can actually farm the numbskulls that appear, I think
That's the easiest, most braindead way

Dusa is best girl
yes

yes
But I mean, she had hands in life
But then a rude little boy named Percius came along
I don’t understand zeus favor
Also hermes is way easier
You just need to equip his keepsake while fully maxed
Athena,Artemis and Demeter are also confusing
2 times in a row as in in fights with him, or as in twice in one run (if that's even possible)
How does the $1200 Titan's Blood work?
I haven't been able to buy it but is it like one purchase per heat, or is it random, can I farm it on heat 0 in the future, etc.?
Nope
Twice in separate runs
You have to accumulate 1200 gold in a single run
Certainly possible, though hard
It's random between it and a 1k diamond.
Usually ya just don't buy going there, it ain't actually that bad
Best done on heat 0 tho
A lucky Hermes money boon certainly helps
If you can take Charon "borrowing" from him helps too for the 300
The price is unaffected by pact deal and membership card tho
u can also maybe squeeze out some gold from the keep sake if u youre confident you dont need acorn or tooth for final fight
So it's always 1k/1.2k
Also usually can get a bit from the Satyr holes
I like that the King Vermin is like, a legit boss based off the health bar, it's funny xD. "Oh, it's just a tiny vermin" sreeches, "oh..." and the health bar in first encounter has "tiny vermin" on it xD
tiny vermin is so funny as an actual boss
cuz its always the little ones that you cant just catch thats the most annoying lmfasldk
Forgive me for being skeptical of 53 seconds
53??
How can one even clear rooms that fast, let alone beat the boss(es)
https://youtu.be/v6jtYfllO34
Watch from 11:09 onwards
Free rooms, lots of them
And lucky enemies with BP2 allowing armored witches to appear early
Chariots are also really fast
Man's insane
"the Chiron guy"
Zag spear
Beo cast beasts with Poseidon is what I gathered from that
Cannot read Chinese so did not know what boons where what
You don't. You get rooms you don't need to clear.
Poseidon cast on beo is really good because of the duo synergy
And Beowulf just phases bosses immediately when the build is online.
Opens up mirage shot, and you win immediately with mirage
Beowulf wants Mirage Shot, which just straight up doubles your Cast damage on Flares because it's bugged.
Should be 30% damage, but it's 100%.
Also epic RD, multiple braids, epic cast damage, more stones, charged shot
It's basically the ideal build for beowulf
This run just happened to get the ideal free rooms
Was literally 1 room away from being the same as routed
And does Beo cast just ignore shields? Seemed like it never failed to hit Theseus
That makes beo have the wr in every catagory doesn't it?
Yes lmao
Charged shot can go through shields, he has that hammer
Including modded
Those tell at least me nothing :v
same i kinda understood what he was taking
its an aoe too
Either way I get it xD
i cant play beo even though its such fastness ; - ;
I gathered as well the way you play Beo is doing like, in the face cast bashes
Was he loading one per bash?
Depends on the enemy
Gotcha
And how his build was at that point
Ideally you'd have mirage shot by Lernie, meaning you only need one cast to kill each head
So the fight was slower in this run
What's mirage shot do?
it doubles ur cast
Each time you cast, you create a secondary cast that does 30% of the original casts damage
Gotcha
However on Beowulf/Dio cast hera it's not 30%, it's 100%
Because it's cast is just an AOE blast
these are flares
I know >~>
beowulf icy flare is so insanely good
Same thing happens with cluster rockets if I'm not wrong
Yes
cluster bomb damage reduc gets negated by rocket bomb 80 base YES
And to think some people thought Beowulf dropped down from top tier when Charged Flight was nerfed in the 1.0 patch. 
What I saw was point blank charges for the flare xD my friend can't play shields because all he ever does is dash strikes, he doesn't throw or charge
Nobody knew how to play Beowulf back then 
Right. You don't want to waste time charging up your Dragon Rush more than the minimum amount in a speedrun.
Then wriste went "huh, mirage shot is kinda good"
Yes it's broken
it was always really good
Was it ever not?
It has been good for a while tho
Beo has every wr rn
hasnt even had any changes
That's mad rude, and wrong. 
people just know how to play now
You're aware I mained Beowulf in Blood Price, yes?
Heartbreak flourish time
My friend sure doesn't xD with a decent Beo build he only dash striked and died in Elysium
Person with clears in the 30's roundabout mind you
Although, from what it sounds like, i still don't play Beo properly haha
So he ain't a newbie perse
i always went Dio Flare with the Dio-Zeus Duo because it felt cool
It's still good
thats still good
Probably the third best flare
That's not terrible, but getting mirage shot on beo doubles your damage
its just hard to get going
Dio flare is fun if chaos is on your side
Is Flare damage based on cast damage or attack damage?
Cast
But it's more reliant on chaos than the others
cast
So amp up cast damage as much as ya can as well with Beo, gotcha
yep, it's the Cast aspect of the shield
Yes, but I was grinding 56 Heat in the last period before 1.0 came out. That was everything but RI3 instead of RI4 at the time. Charged Flight alone couldn't carry you through that.
Better to use nectar in the hope that you'll get a high rarity rush delivery
Then school started again and I had no more time. 
that would be a waste
Hindsight the boon rarity up is probably most optimal
the only thing u need for a full beo build is mirage shot and poms
Oh yeah, rarity is mostly just a difference of a pom
It's not optimized for Beowulf specifically, but I wrote a Cast Build Guide here if you want to take a look. #h1-builds-and-combat message
Gotcha gotcha
Only difference for Beowulf really is that you want to double down on getting Mirage Shot asap because it's broken.
btw jolted counts towards priveleged status right
Yes
All of the 8 status curses that are listed here count. https://hades.gamepedia.com/Status_effects#Status_Curses
yeah thanks i just wanted to make sure cuz im in a run right now and priveleged status didnt proc apparently i forgot to change family favorite huhu
I assume from the looks he was using Poseidon cast, so would Riptide also help at least a bit in such a case or just unnecessary with damage output as is?
I mean the status Riptide that adds a DOT on enemies affected by skills with pushback
Wave pounding is the best T2 on Beowulf I think
wave pounding is definitely the best
That's the one that deals damage when hitting a wall?
its just alot of damage on bosses
More boss damage
Ohh
+40% at epic
howdy, been playing a lot of Hades since it came out on Game Pass and thought I'd come join this server
I forget things like this easy xD
Welcome~!

look im green
thank
wow
heyo!

kia ora
bwave doesnt help that much on beo Sadge
Now it's not even Breaking Wave anymore? Just bwave... bruh.
i dont feel like typing breaking ; - ;
been trying my hardest to beat the game, nearly came close yesterday after a 6 hour livestream lol
So I thought pierced butterfly effect remained after swapping but is that not true?
You speedrunners spend 5 hours resetting in Tartarus for one run, but you can't be bothered to spell out boon names. 
its not
YES YES WE DO AND NO NO WE DONT
Damn I legit would’ve done 100+ runs starting with butterfly and swapping immediacy
🅱️wave
Pierced Butterfly is not really practical if you want DPS. There are better options. It's fun for no-hit attempts, though.
And also great for practice because you pay more attention to not getting hit.
but isnt butterfly kinda a must if youre running hera
epic got ma green
wait i meant hestia
oh huh didnt know i thought for hestia u just go butterfly the whole run and rack like up to 40-50% bonus damage and just make do with gods u see along the way
High heat start is Shattered Shackle or
, and speedruns take Conch Shell for Tidal Dash start.
Or lightning strike 
That works too tbh. It's still a rail, ultimately.
RD?
And then you're mainly looking for any decent Special boon and as many Strike and Lunge boons as you can get from Master Chaos.
Maybe Smoldering Air if Lord Zeus shows up, maybe take Thunder Signet into Asphodel for that.
Cyclops Jerkies and Eris Bangles are great, too, especially with the Boneless Hourglass.
gives u global damage based on your move speed
Have the developers said anything about any big gameplay updates or dlc? I have a lot of fun with this game, but some extra stuff would be cool!
oh huh i dont think ive used RD that much
pair best with hyper sprint that gives u 100% movespeed when u dash
nah the game is finished
is beo good on its first level or nah?
yeah beo is fine on its first level
The area isn't the main selling point anyway
maxed beowulf does help though
yeah its just some aspects like chaos or hestia arent really that good till u level them up
Anyone tried shackle beo? 
I would try it myself if my brain doesn't blue screen everytime I dash in hades 
Yeah
Its really amazing in tart, as most shackle starts are
But then begins to fall off a bit if you dont find a decent cast in tart
Figures
i was on track for my fastest time by around 2 minutes
then i got my first ever 5 sack :)
ooh what time were u in styx?
i entered at 12 minutes
i got 16:39 for the final time
i melted hades so fast aswell
what weapon?
why are you allowed to share images
Its a link
are u playing a a cast weapon?
was on hera
couldnt really avoid attacking
Had underworld customs on and purged my special
option 1 is fine
I took 1 then died, its fine I died to lernie twice
oh lul
How do I buy the 3rd stage of hades
Since you need to unlock it
Somewhere?
Idk what you guys call it
Em4?
after you beat hades for the first time you unlock the pact of punishment, which you can use to add a self-imposed challenge to your runs. one of those added conditions is called 'extreme measures' and gives bosses a new technique, starting with the furies. the final, fourth rank gives hades his new 3rd stage (and some other stuff), hence em4
Okay uh
u need to buy it from the house contracter
After a rather fascinating discussion with aggy
I downloaded it a mod from nexus
And now I officially have FO15
The butterfly ball deals 200 damage a second
BUT HOW FAST IS THE SPAWN RATE?
Instant
Meg basically teleports
to skyrocket my times Kappa
You'll just die
Yeah, unless you hyperpower Zag like I did, you're not going to even get past asphodel
Can't even hit meg
Had to use hunting blades, flurry cast, greater recall and 100 casts
Why stop at 150 lmao
But yeah the modding scene in this game is surprisingly well fleshed out
It's the only reason I have a sub 7
Lmao I also have a sub-7 on the rail with mods
technically with codex you can go directly to hades... So sub-1 runs are possible
But the game (rightfully) doesn't count those
Jesus the flame wheels are homing missiles now
Okay, I was wrong, the most lethal enemy is the splitter witch
Hitscan projectiles that deal more damage on impact
Not at low levels, but great at high levels
You have to have it minimum at lv. 4 to negate the health penalty IMO
Interestingly enough, this game treats lasers like projectiles - it doesn't apply a flat damage per second and instead deals damage like if a projectile hit you
I.e. it's affected by FO
😦 EM4 is such a dissapointment I expected it a lot harder..
How the heck are some people so good at games
thats pretty fast
git gud
nevah
Sadge
Bruuuuuuh
But to be fair it was base form EM4
next time I m putting in a lot of punishments.
you must be joking 😐
Hard labor Maxed, FO maxed and ofc Middle Management at least maybe more
Middle management does not have any effect on EM4
oh damn 🤔 soo Benefits Package maxed then?
is FO2 hard
well BP only affects elite normies
because FO1 feels like literally nothing
🤔 so what can I put expect for CP to make the fight even harder then
I though I can buff his summons
Y'all break my heart
yea
btw FO0 seems harder than FO1
please explain
FO1 feels exactly the same
well sure why not EM4 heat 32 I wanted to do that earlier anyway
FO0 is slow
you fall asleep waiting for the enemy move . FO1 seems like normal speed.
Kappa
🥴
once you've played on FO1 or FO2, it's pretty hard to go back to no FO
na hundreds of hours on hell mode 😐
what
after playing with FO2 and FO1 for so long id probably lose if i went back to FO0
with F01
ur game isnt bugged
the spawn time is noticeable diff
FO1 isnt that much
but Champions felt harder than Redacted on EM 😐 not sure why
because asterius bull man can instant teleport and break ur lungs
i hate that
spin attack
how do you attack him with melee while he's doing thta
literally impossible
You..dont?
either tank it or dont attack him while he use the whirlwind
u can iframe dad spin attack
but I m average player 🤷♂️
with a empty dash
that comes from mussle memory though
Redacted spin isnt too hard to iframe
SADGEEEEEEEEEEEE
i hate this game
me when
Yeah agree 🤔 better to go play Bastion
its ridiculously hard to time perfect dashes on controller. 😐 that sucks for speedurning and why I m not doing it.
i got no idea what a perfect dash is
I mean as fast as possible
hades doesnt have perfect dashes
the dash speed doesnt change
yes
no matter how u do it
gentlemen there is a cd before you can dash again
and u cant change that
the point is to hit the button as fast as possible once the cd is up
literally at all
u dont need to
you dont have to
there's no point
keep dashing
all u do is dash attack
you still go faster 🤷♂️
it
kill people
it doesnt really matter
yes
and plus most weapons do things in between the dash cd that are very beneficial
so
yeah none uses perfect dashes for speedruns in hades LOL
ur just adding unneeded difficulty to speedrunning hades
Excuse me for being perfectionist
...
the main point to NOT speedrunning hades is when u hit a certain point there's just too much rng
which is exactly why you should min/max the non rng or rng you can control
but perfect dashing doesnt do that
How many times do you have to fight Meg and her sisters to get her secret stash companion
I’ve fought them so many times
u need to beat her and talk to her at the house
I do but the heart is locked
then just unlucky bruh
lmao
😂
Well suit yourself 🙂
yeah rng can be cruel...that 17 runs wihtnout athena so I couldnt evne give her nectar wasnt nice
@velvet gale the point they were making was that by using your time on dashing, you're wasting time not damaging
u could also just mash dash LOL
I am awared. But there are times where you have nothing to kill and still need to do a few dashes for next room.
Yeah how do I unlock extreme measures 4
so just mash dash homie
Imagine having 100 death defiances. Now IMAGINE PAT REFILLS THEM ALL
Infinite power
Theoretically, a frame-perfect dash would be faster; and yet, speedrunners still mash dash
How do I unlock this special extreme measures 4
purchase it from the house contractor
Purchase it at the house contractor's
There’s nothing to purchase
so just keep progressing the story and wait
Unless that portal I bought for 5 diamonds
I finished the main story
Fought hades yet?
Have you spot all characters?
You need to finish the game (credits) AND fight hades once more
EM I believe doesnt starts until you saw all furies
huh?
Looks like I have to embarrass hades again
You need to see all fury sisters first, before it you cannot use EM. Even if you clear Hades the Redactor every run.
happens arround run 8 I reckon
Fury sisters appear when you get to hades
and then turn on em
I am positive
I think
I can officially debunk all of y'alls claims
🤔 I did fresh file recently
I had to wait forever while clearing every run the game for EM
I am fresh filing right now and it's run 8 and it's still meg
I might be off one run, but it requires runs.
I am waiting for meg to kill off all 100 of my death defiances
speaking of unmodded game of course
As it turns out, being overpowered isn't necessarily fun-er
The other fury sisters appear once you beat meg a certain number of times (i don't remember the exact number)
7 or 8 I m not entirely sure. 🤷♂️ ITs not something I pay attention too
There's dialogue of Hades being unhappy with Meg's performance from memory
well to be fair you generally arent really supposed to fight em before doing quite a few runs
Wait really
you either need to be doing fresh file really or being extremly good
Meg only beat me once
The other sisters
Never beat me
Oh my god bot
Specifically you beating meg, not the other way round
Okay
Anyways fury sisters suck hades fire them
Hire 5 hydras at the first stage
Wait actually
Just get hades to beat zag at the first stage
Easy
Imagine if you enter the run and Hades right off the bat. Youre going nowhere son!
and the bosses would be his summons 
just in case
Probalby close to imposible
Will prob take you a long time
Pog
Is giving skelly ambrosia worth it? I have him at the point where I need to do his task to progress but is it worth it? I need titan blood to do it
I'd say save it for last, there are better aspect you can upgrade 
Alright! Who should I be giving ambrosia to then? I want to start getting ||companions||
Alright, thank you
Does the titan blood used to unlock an aspect count towards the 5 you need to invest to unlock the 4th?
I think it does, let me double check the wiki
It should at least
says just invested, not upgrading
Gotcha, thanks
Let’s goooo I’m doing FO2 HL5 EM4 for fun and I have heroic greatest reflex

Its my headcannon that orpheus can play the unseen ones on his lyre
Electric guitar and all
Wait he can?
I like that the unseen ones is banned for having too many notes
Wheres it banned from?
The in-game description from the house contractor
Nope
I played on early access back in 2019 and didn’t like it, but I got it on Xbox whenever it came out, I forget the date, and I’ve become obsessed
Completed game
Lol what.
in terms of new updates
I will never understand game Devs.
we have no new updates
What you see is what you get
The Devs aren't obliged to make new content
This game hit top on all sorts of charts.. why would you not want to reap your rewards?
I don't know about you, but this is a finished game by any metric
Not obliged no, but it seems kinda silly
The art assets are INCREDIBLY costly to make
Everything is costly
That too, but the art in this game even more so
Ugh
Maybe TBOI ruined me. My expectations for Roguelikes are way too high. Nothing can come close to it
Hades I see potential, there’s soooo much
They could keep it going forever
I’m excited for Skul to drop on console
they did. they ported it to Xb and PS
My top 5 roguelikes are isaac, risk of rain 2, hades, skul, and enter the Gungeon
Yeah but gamepass is free lmao
Aw, no love for dead cells or dead gods?
Skul combat is stupid fluid. It’s the best feeling roguelike I think
how is gamepass free? just curious
Dead cells in my top 10
I’ve played so many roguelikes. It’s the only genre I really play now a days.
I mean hades is free on gamepass, sorry.
got it :D
I like roguelikes where you can go insane
That’s why hades appealed to me I guess cuz you can get pretty broke.
But I haven’t found any roguelikes even close to Isaac, other than risk of rain 2
You can legitimately crash the games because of how broken you can become
Issac is in a league of its own, yeah
Go watch Edmund Mcmillens interview about Isaac. It’s like 2 hours long but
It’s very inspirational.
Well... I'm currently crashing the game because of how broken the enemies I've created are
This dude flunked out of dev college, bills stacked up, straight horrible life situation
Can definitely get broken builds in hades
I wish I could become a game dev. I guess I could if I practically killed myself. I don’t have time for school but I’d like to try my hand at making a Roguelike
Tboi?
The binding of isaac
I don’t like Issac at all at tbh
You can’t even buy afterbirth on ps4
Never played it, in fact Hades was my first every roguelike
Market for console Isaac is non existent practically.
Hades has to be the 2nd best rougelike I have played
Switch and PC are isaacs biggest platforms
Don't know if I can make the switch, I'm so used to Hades
I've always meant to give it a go
But once you taste your first brimstone ludo guppy run, you’ll be chasing that high forever
if you want to try Isaac, make sure to install the external item description mod, also if you want to discuss tboi in depth #video-games is the better place
Risk of rain 2 is neck and neck to Isaac IMO.
I always use artifacts in RoR2. They have some artifacts that make enemies drop items on death, and you can select what items you want
So RNG is kept to a minimum. Really fun
So on hades
Rng is why rougelikes are fun
I just unlocked the hidden aspect for the fists
So question about this hidden aspect
Just because of how the story works
Is there a longer increment between dash cooldown..?
Like you have 4 dashes, but I count 1.8 seconds of downtime before you can dash again
Or am o tripping
wait
no access
F
Idk about cooldown but ik that dashes are shorter
you can save it if you want to play dirty 
Please KEK me how
hit give up right now
I’m basically new to hades. I haven’t googled hardly anything or wat hes cideos
not kidding
Watched videos.
give up reset you to the beginning of the run
and give you a brand new try with your streak intact
Me and my wife have been playing it non-stop though. We only googled how to get certain hidden aspects
Really?
Click give up?
yeah, give up reverts you to before the run ever happened - preserving your winstreak
Cuz I’m at 2nd floor and I’ve lost 2 death defiance’s lol. And my run isn’t even that bad
yeah
Yeah, giving up doesn't break your streak
It’s just that damn cooldown.
Anyone have a comprehensive tier list of weapons and aspects?
yeah hit escape and click give up
You can still win a run despite losing all 3 DD before elysium (gods above bless pat)
basically it reverts your save file to a prior state
My favorites I’ve tried are the nemesis Stygian and the zag fists
For what? Speedrunning, high heat or casual?
before the run
Tried a Merciful End build on them yet?
I’m not good enough to speed run. My longest run was 32 minute. I average 19-22mins
every weapon is viable and can get broken builds, like, actually
What’s that
any of them
Every single one
Merciful end on nemesis what’s that
Athena-ares duo boon
the same way any isaac chars can get broken
Because if the weapon itself sucks, just use tidal dash or lightning phalanx
how is your mirror doing?
Lmao obviously
It's like half the game
Can I send you a pic?
Go ahead, DM me
there are a couple of perks in the bottom which allows you to reroll your boons
I have everything mirror max except the very last one.
Duos need requsites from 2 gods to have a chance to appear
Target farming is half the fun in this game
what about the other side of the mirror?
Knowing what builds to work towards and getting the build
Yes I have purple text and yellow texts maxed
gotcha
Except the last one, the reroll thing
Both?? Damn that's a lot of darkness
u cant force a duo but u cant force a prereq
u can force the prereqs
