Being able to just hold down attack and dash is basically just a streamlined, less button mash-y version of how I normally play fists
hearty sierra
Rending Claws works for your gameplan (like ME)
weary jackal
How are you supposed to fight the forces of hell
If you can’t look fabulous doing it 
hearty sierra
I just know that I really like rolling knuckle 'cause I can just not micromanage dash/attack
weary jackal
Stubborn roots, the one boon that gets worse the better you are at the game
proud zodiac
Yeah there is that
hearty sierra
It's definitely a fallback that makes stalling a valid strategy
Horrible if you took TD3, though
You don't have the time to heal
proud zodiac
I found it works the best on the Hades fight
That's where I've gotten the most use of it before
Not necessarily stalling but dodging and letting your health recuperate a little bit between attacks
As a last ditch method
hearty sierra
Also it works with SD!
proud zodiac
Also side hustle is best gotten early, to maximize on the amount of money you get

manic bobcat
Oh 7.5/10

Rib's actually decent based on my fresh file
He tanks more ever since SGG buffed him
proud zodiac
Rib is pretty good for the Hades fight, he can tank a ton of damage while you wail away on ol Dad's back
weary jackal
I forgot, who do you get antos from?
hearty sierra
Achilles
hearty sierra
Antos is more of RNG as to if the boss dashes
weary jackal
Why does everyone say Batty is so good?
hearty sierra
If the boss doesn't dash then it'll hit for the full3k
Batty is good because it's instant damage
weary jackal
So it’s not more than Mort, it’s just faster
hearty sierra
With a VERY negligible chance of missing
The others all have a more likely chance to miss (bouldy doesn't miss much either but doesn't hit the breakpoint of removing enough health to skip a phase)
hearty sierra
And dusa's keepsake... not very good
Hilarious interactions and voicelines, though
Worth it just for that
manic bobcat
So it’s not more than Mort, it’s just faster
And you can reliably time it to hit multiple targets (Champion fight is a notable example)
It's much harder using Mort

And my personal favourite:

Disappear, see if I care!
But tbh sigil shouldn't work against dad
He should be able to see through invisibility for flavour purposes (not like this game needs any more flavour and character)
manic bobcat
BC
hearty sierra
BC is most of the time better
manic bobcat
Though rending sounds fun tbh
proud zodiac
Because anti armor and better dash attacks
hearty sierra
though rending is pretty good
manic bobcat
If I'm not try harding I'll probably pick rending for fun
proud zodiac
Right now not sure what build I have going, it's all a bit weird
Artemis attack, Demeter special, Artemis cast, athena dash, demeter call
mint coral
lost at least 10 seconds bc theseus was hiding in a corner and couldnt hit him 
hearty sierra
Sounds like a winning build if you can get some more artemis boons/arctic blast
smack a lot, get smacked a lot, and call for massive arctic blast damage
proud zodiac
I also usually do dash dash dash then dash-upper
Or I do dash upper last, then dash attack more
hearty sierra
I play gilgamesh more like a doom build without ME but sure you do you
proud zodiac
Especially with breaching cross
It clears armor so they can take full damage from rend
Also the kick is super fun
Going flying around is such fun
proud zodiac
Is Family Favorite or privileged status better
weary jackal
Family favourite is more consistent
proud zodiac
I think the former is better in general IMO while the latter is good for weapons that can inflict statuses of their own
near dune
I use family
weary jackal
You always get ~5 gods (Hermes included) so that’s a free 25% damage boost
proud zodiac
Yep
near dune
Yeah if you are new at the game. You could ask here too I suppose

I love how demeter cast can just carry a skuffed run
modern garnet

weary jackal
My game crashed
The fates are cruel
modern garnet
Demeter cast is better than people here think but I don't think it carries a run alone
weary jackal
While I wait for my PS4 to reset, here’s my opinion on each weapon
Sword is generally meh, short range with medium speed but it’s generally not for me
Spear is pretty good all around, medium range with fast speed and some really good aspects
I don’t understand Shield
Bow is good for single target damage with Chiron, and CC with the hidden aspect, but I haven’t used Hera enough to pass judgment on it
Fists are good for doing a metric tonne of damage very quickly, but the short range makes it easier to get hit
I also don’t understand Gun
Does any of this matter? No, but I was bored
modern garnet
Shield is good because you can block that's basically it
manic bobcat
My rating:
Sword: Double Edge
Spear: Charge Skewer
Shield: Charge Shot
Bow: Twin Shot
Fist: Breaching Cross
Rail: Cluster Bomb
weary jackal
Oh sweet zeus’ beard, my run saved
I get to keep my +104% special damage chaos boon

@modern garnet I had a horrible build and ended up getting all the demeter cast boons and just dropped them and watched hades die

What kinda build am I going for with Achilles spear
Achilles is particularly good with casts - start Artemis attack or special, then take either blade rifts or meme beams and once they’re up and running it’ll be super strong and until then special and attack hits hard
junior terrace
Meme beans as in demeter
lone kernel
Yeah
junior terrace
Ok ok lol
lone kernel
Then the respective duos for homing
lone kernel
Hunting blades (ares Artemis) and crystal clarity (Demeter Artemis) duo boons
Or you can just go Zeus or Poseidon cast which is stronger early run but won’t win by itself
lone kernel
If you get Poseidon take him too - mirage shot duo boon
Second cast that does 30 percent damage
If you go Demeter try to get her special or call as well - something to open up Arctic Blast, which does 80 damage for 10 stacks of chill, and then glacial glare which makes your beams inflict chill
In either order
whole ridge
I want to come across Sisyphus more often, but he shows up like, once for every 10-ish runs for me xD. Poor RNG happens though I guess
lone kernel
The benefit of starting with Artemis is that you can then keepsake either ares or Demeter in asphodel based on which one showed up in Tartarus for you
But back to that Demeter thing - basically, your beams will trigger arctic blast repeatedly, effectively doubling your damage
And if you drop them after using Achilles rush, plop down crystals and hide, you’ll be fine (can also just play it like the zag spear just w more casts)
Does that make sense I know I just wrote a miniature novel on the glory of the meme beam death engine

Ive got 2 death defiance, and after asphodel, i equip sweet tooth(?) So basicall...
yes
fiery osprey
What keepsakes do you guys use?
1st i use poseidon (i like attacks that knock away lol), then spiked collar, then sweet tooth
polar root
Do not lick the tooth
fiery osprey
Im so bad with names in this game
dusky wedge
Usually a god keepsake at the start of a run
kind swan
I typically go Gods for the 1st 3 zones, then tooth for the final.
fiery osprey
Like i dont remember what most enemies are called
polar root
Im so bad with names in this game
Me in any game
dusky wedge
For specific god boons
fiery osprey
Like the blue guys in elysium who regenerate as a floating rock thing
kind swan
Like i dont remember what most enemies are called
Nobody does
fiery osprey
Lol
dusky wedge
That’s why you always have the game open
dusky wedge
All day long lmao
fiery osprey
Cool to know yall choose diety keepsakes at the start too; makes me feel like i have a good idea of what im doing for now lol
polar root
Ah yes
fiery osprey
What do yall play on? Im on the switch
dusky wedge
Same, switch as well
fiery osprey
Nice, nice
modern garnet
the secret is to run acorn instead of tooth, it's better against bosses
keen raven
I hate butterflies
polar root
I hate butterflies
dont we all
fiery osprey
Very cool! I got this as a bday gift for myself. Very happy with my choice!
polar root
Glad that you like it
fiery osprey
the secret is to run acorn instead of tooth, it's better against bosses
I bet! But the only boss i have trouble with rn is elysium, and theyll hit me 3 times really quickly rendering my keepsake not so useful after a few sec
kind swan

it blocks 5 attacks at max
kind swan
I dig your name! Lookin forward to arceus in 2022:-)
Same
fiery osprey
it blocks 5 attacks at max
Is that helpful for thesius and minotaur? I feel like they hit quick since theres 2 of em
fiery osprey
I played sword
Howd you like it?
polar root
Howd you like it?
liked it a lot
whole ridge
In case you don't have it yet I highly recommend getting Skelly's keepsake

dash like mad till they stop
fiery osprey

Yes! First one i maxed out!

You still have to learn their attack pattern, and learn to dodge a lot more instead of attacking more. In other words, play slower
polar root
you can go a lot faster later
dusky wedge
Dash striking helps you go fast as well as safe
fiery osprey
Attacks almost like meg
polar root
after you get a grip on the builds you like and know how to play well, you just go much faster
kind swan
Also, try to focus minotaur 1st as Thesus just throws his spear with a reticle if you keep your distance from him.
fiery osprey
Theseus, i havent figured out yet
polar root
Theseus, i havent figured out yet
screw theseus for now, take care of bullman first
fiery osprey
Also, try to focus minotaur 1st as Thesus just throws his spear with a reticle i...
Oh!?? Good idea, thanks!
polar root
bullman got a lot more health
fiery osprey
I tried to take out theseus first since i figured minotaur appeared to be easier to take out
keen raven
Theseus would be a weaker boss than Meg, if he wasn't accompanied by Asterius
dusky wedge
TheSUS tho
fiery osprey
But didnt know exactly how theseus was attacking
polar root
TheSUS tho
I was gonna say that
fiery osprey
TheSUS tho
Lol
dusky wedge
wet frigate
Plus, if you take out asterius first and then focus on theseus you can save for a greater call if you have a boon on it
Thats what I do i just take out the bull, get theseus to half health and then shoot him dead with greater call artemis lol 
polar root
Theseus is a lot more weak I feel atleast after this first phase
polar root
Thats what I do i just take out the bull, get theseus to half health and then sh...

He just stands there
dusky wedge
Theseus let’s his guard down a lot more in 2nd phase
keen raven
fiery osprey
Ngl, i circle around like a madman, shooting my rail gun and cast, and only attack if i happen to get close lmao. It almost worked, had i not dashed at a stupid moment 😦

We do that too but its different 👉👈

wet frigate
You really do
fiery osprey
I know… like i said, i almost won!! I literally sighed out loud after i dashed into a stupid spot and died 😦 lol
dusky wedge
Theseus 2nd phase, alongside bullman chasing you around can get pretty hectic real fast
polar root
I know… like i said, i almost won!! I literally sighed out loud after i dashed i...
The next run, I can feel it.
wet frigate
I hate when that happens. I had a pretty good run die when I dashed at the wrong time during dad
late acorn
is gods legacy or gods pride better?
fiery osprey
you really do git gud the more you play
Its so gratifying when you get further than you did previously
dusky wedge
That’s why you always try to kill him first
polar root

legacy for me

fiery osprey
The next run, I can feel it.
I hope so!! Thanks for the good vibes. My next run wont be til tomorrow… its so funny how when i first got the game, a run would take like… 5-10min? Now it takes an hour
proud zodiac
It's one of the subtexts for won runs
polar root
See I don't have that luck
proud zodiac
I think that means you find a fountain chamber in each area you are able
Which I did
polar root
I hope so!! Thanks for the good vibes. My next run wont be til tomorrow… its so ...
well, GO AGAIN (just joking, take breaks dont be like me)
fiery osprey

Anyone remember how long it took you to finally beat meg?
It took me 4 or 5 fights against her/ on my 12th attempt to beat her
fiery osprey
Man, i was like HOW DOES ANYONE BEAT HER

TRUUUUUU
fiery osprey

polar root
Feelsbadman
fiery osprey
Hydra, i forget what run/attempt i was on, but it took me 3 tried to beat it
polar root
hydra took me longer than final boss
polar root
becuase I forgot mirror was a thing
fiery osprey
I just got behind its head, would button mash dash and attack
polar root

Idk what the spoiler is, but his bow is amazing
fiery osprey
I just assume its power ups somehow
kind swan
Sorry, didn't think about that
fiery osprey
Its okay!
polar root
I just assume its power ups somehow
a PHAT powerup
fiery osprey
I dont think its much of a spoiler if its a power up, cuz eventually i will get it some time or another, i hope lol
polar root
YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK FOR ME?!!!!!!
kind swan
Yeah, it's pretty late-ish game power up.
polar root

Yeah, he's a chill dude, restores your DDs (or restores more if Stubborn) for free.

polar root

polar root
I think i need one more nectar to skelly to unlock a companion.. if im correct, ...
A bit more than nectar
is needed
fiery osprey
Is it that much better to choose the options? I never do it really
I focus less on currency
fiery osprey
A bit more than nectar
Ive given him 5, and the next one has a keyhole
polar root
100% more resources equals to more darkness
fiery osprey
(The next heart)
polar root
Ive given him 5, and the next one has a keyhole
keep talking to said character
fiery osprey
Okie dokes
whole ridge
For Skelly to unlock his keyhole ya gotta talk with him a bit, and he'll say what it is he wants you to do to unlock it.
polar root
you need the thing you get for beating theseus
stoic flame
the thing
polar root
to get companion
fiery osprey
Ohhh
fiery osprey
Shoot
stoic flame
what do you need to beat theseus
whole ridge
One exception being Hades for the keyholes

hella sfw discord

what do you need to beat theseus
Hit them until they die

#off-topic-discussion perhaps
polar root
yes
stoic flame
yes
polar root
off topic
clever thicket
The first blessing that spawns right when you start a new run, is that independant from a god keepsake? (I have athena's equiped, yet I still got poseidon's)
wise oasis
no, you're just on the run where you get poseidon's legendary
clever thicket
yes, the fishing one
wise oasis
thats a unique case, aside from that the first boon will be the god
whole ridge
Yeah, there's very ultra specific cases such as Poseidon's fishing legendary that fixes it independently from the keepsake, but I think it's like, just for that one.
And the one where you get your first Call
But beyond those yeah, the keepsake works on the starting boon unless ya get a hammer
craggy pumice
Does Eris buff call damage?
whole ridge
It's a universal buff I believe, but don't take my word on it
polar root
it is global dmg
polar root
Does Eris buff call damage?
probably does
clever thicket
Is there a point to specifically farm for darkness? Or am I better of just trying the next heat level
whole ridge
When you are aiming for mirror or Chaos/Nyx related items
wise oasis
Theres also a darkness sink at the end of the game
whole ridge
Ye
polar root
Yeah that too.
whole ridge
And the Chaos/Nyx favor requires I think close to 4k Darkness
clever thicket
what's that sink called?
polar root
sink is

If I deflect a bomb, will I still take damage from it when im in its explosion radius?
whole ridge
Don't think so
polar root
If I deflect a bomb, will I still take damage from it when im in its explosion r...
deflect is god
no dmg taken
vapid narwhal
if you deflect a bomb the bomb turns into yours
and very little things in the game does self damage to you except Hazard bomb and I dont thin there is anything else
whole ridge
Honestly, deflect dash (any rarity) +Hermes bonus dashes can be a mega good combo
Deflect overall is generally pretty good
But only on defensive items, it ya want damage output there is definitely better options
clever thicket
Honestly, deflect dash (any rarity) +Hermes bonus dashes can be a mega good comb...
I got deflect on attack, dash, and hyper sprint
basically cant get hit
whole ridge
Hyper sprint I assume is a special?
polar root
Athena dash and you've met the victory screen
clever thicket
Hyper sprint I assume is a special?
The one where you gain movement speed and sturdy after dashing
wise oasis
Hyper sprint I assume is a special?
hyper sprint gives you 100% move speed for 0.5/0.6/0.7 secs
and sturdy
brisk trail
I hate the Sneak in Tartarus. Such an irritating boss.

Are there any mods for this game?

They easy to install? ;o

I'll check it out then

I played the entire game vanilla till the true ending
