kill a lot
š
Fighting her a lot
All fury sisters suck
alecto is harley quinn cmv
Hydra is where itās at
You are nasty
i should be able to ride it

Wait what
Sounds like DLC to me

Alecto should be marriage dlc
Nasty
I forgot about hades
I mean it is hell, seems acceptable
They made Hades such a hulk of a man
and insecure
Itās pretty accepting times you know
All I want is a little Cerberus pet to follow me around
then this game would be perfection
Achilles
Dude why would I want to imagine that
and a little Lernie pet too
But imagine him as a cute little bone snake nipping at your heels
This guy hates snakes
ugliness makes small things cuter
Snakes are just better versions of cats bro
I wasted my bottles on her
||real quick iām happy that eurydice and zag never really romantically develop
even dusa has a romantic arc and idk i just really appreciated s platonic relationship in the game that also contained depth||
she already taken anyways
''girl you're as thick as a bowl of oatmeal''
Nah, I wish there was more choice between who you can romanticize. I did not like flirting with Than

Sheās not even that attractive
Sheās a TREE
I just ended up giving all my stuff to Hades, Mom, and Chaos
Based
Also yeah, I wouldnt want to date someone Orpheus has been with
He makes me so angry
He seems happy
no ones stopping him
just beated boat man with gilga with ares dash 
cant believe i would say this but ty maim
I was about to destroy Charon first try
But oo I had to have
The worst boons ever
He has the most avoidable attacks
His only threat is the paddle
i was playing in fo2
Then why did you lose
He paddled me
owo
I fought against Charon once, he seemed pretty brutal
Can't dodge a paddle?
Also I didnāt have any boons for my dash,attack,special or cast
š
You can fight Charon???????
thievery
Borrowing*
How do I thieve the items?
matter of perspective
This is why Zag is a little punk
Asking for a friend
i got saved by ruthless reflex 
dodged at least 3 hits from charon
He just takes people's things. Doesn't even consider asking
in the mid chamber shops occasions he will leave his wallet out
Ohhh
That boy rich too
up heat
Ughhhhh
@azure osprey go faster
Okay
Kill them
Mods
Ps4
Also, I'm curious- which of the furies do you guys think is the easiest?
They should give zag an actual gun
Tisiphone
PS4 save file glitch
Mag ofc
Tis seems the easiest
Tis is annoying
You dont have to worry about her attacks at all
They're all super easy to me, but Alecto is a bit annoying
Mag is predictable
They get hard again at high heat
I never even knew how Alecto built up rage from that one move bc my stygian would always stun her and the only chance for rage she'd get is her perma-rage
Like I expect to lose a SD
Guess we have different fingers
I only found out when I used the gun for the first time
Prepare
the other furies will show up as support
What do you mean When
Typo
Like you only need to kill one, but the others will show up and attack
NOOOOOOOOO
That sounds awful with murder grandma
Itāll be either one or two support and one primary fury to fight
Em1 is so easy
Oh. Basically your screen becomes smoke eventually
You donāt need fo fight 2
If tisiphone is support this happens
So you might get a fight where you cant actually see
When about em2
And by themselves em1 whatever but throw in FO2 and some hard labor
How does hydra get changed
i was so disappointed when they were stuck in support roles
i was ready to rip n tear the furies
Vision is overrated, fight via sound
Makes Lernie an environmental hazard
Arena is an archipelago full of lava now
Lava everywhere
And is way smaller so it can be a bit messy when the six heads come out
and float head
So you have to constantly dash?
Baaically. And Lernie likes to sit in the middle of the lava
Okay what about em3
itās usually good to clear one platform then use it to launch assaults on the other head duos
You have safe ground to stand on but thereās lava rivers
I know about em4
Asterius gets gold armor and has a spin attack thatāll wreck your day and Theseus has a chariot with lots of AOE damage
EM3 is like Theseus on Easy Mode
also Theseus gloats about how cool his armor is
Theseus gets a tank with mini guns, Asterius becomes sonic the hedgehog
Em4 is three health bars and stronger attacks and will make most people sad their first several tries
You have to change how you dodge Asterius' slam
NOOO
Thats basically it
theseus is worthless in em3 itās very funny
Yeah. He's reduced to nothing
He does become very very funny to kill
Asterius makes up for it
I love how if you vibe in the house of hades for long enough, you get to watch Hades hear people's appeals to go somewhere
Where are they wanting to go??
Ridiculous. Denied.
Does he ever approve anyone?

Watch it
I have only done 12 runs and I lost to Hades on this last one, what a meanie
Ooo congrats on getting to him!
Games tough, the shield is my bff
I just beat him like half an hour ago on my 37th, after much grinding
Athena is good for players starting out for sure
Yeah she's good I had her god ability
But Dionysus man
Don't sleep on his hangover ability
Killed many guys by making them bleed out
Dionysus my beloved
I'm glad I finally got around to it
Thank God for gamepass
Best service ever
Like I'ma go okay their other games after I beat hades
If you havenāt even beaten Hades and youāre giving it a 10/10
Hohoho
it gets better
I bet
I wonder what comes after Hades
That's the farthest I've made it
I feel good that I have though
What's your guys preferred weapon?
I wanna unlock the fists but I feel like the shield is just too good
Iāve gone between the Bow, Fists, and Shield today
I just use the sword
You know, this last one was the first one where I upgraded my cast
It was good
I really don't use my super at all
i mainly use bow and shield
Maybe it's because it's too out of the way on keyboard to go press q mid combat
I'ma wear out my left click on my mouse lol
I'm trying to give everyone the nectar but I'm mainly gunning for that meg romance
I'm so close to getting all achievements, I don't want this game to end
Back again I see
Heroic Deadly Flourish letās go
ballin
I will personally banish you to Tartarus
What
I sentence you to die at the very end of all of your fights with Hades no matter what
He shall have a pixel of health remaining, and you will perish
What
@idle cargo
Keep talking
That
Smack
Hydra
Know what
Finna go slay some hydras

I'll watch Hades stab you in the ribs from the afterlife²
I become ghost skeleton ooooo
Considering your simping for Dusa, I'd assume you have a thing for snakes
Itās complicated
Fair
Gonna go kill Lernie now
Dead
There's no way you got to him that fast
Not likely
True
Most likely
But it'd be funny
I already got my grandma to cast the hex
Thanks for the extra fishing, Poseidon
Lol
What is a man, but a miserable little pile of secrets?
a pile of flesh and bone
That is literally every living creature
no
Insects have no bones, among other animals
In fact the majority of living creatures don't have bones
Hey guys š I have 25 Titan blood.. not sure wether to use to unlock hidden aspects or just level some up that I have?
Drink it 
Use it to unlock hidden aspects, they're all fun
Did
Did Chaos just tell me to beat Hades with the Cosmic egg equipped as a prank
Incredible
chaos moment
The fact it said āProphecy foretoldā after they told me to do that is threatening
I love how long you can play and still get random prophecies to fulfill
āHey Zagreus, kill your dad with an eggā
āWhyā
āFor the lulz, man. For the lulz.ā
For me the other day it was Poseidon being like āyo kill Theuseus with EM3 pleaseā after Iāve already done that 5+ times
I canāt be the first one to have this idea, but adding an Aspect of Red for Stygius thatās the Transistor would be soooo sick
Like thereās a perfect worldbuilding excuse to give Zag the Transistor and have it make sense
Every time Iāve heard someone describe the gameplay of Pyre, itās something basketball related
I have never played Pyre
And this confuses me
You guys probably get this all the time but Iāve completed the game and now I canāt visit the surface proper
How can I get the fish there?
hades arena can spawn fish
Get lucky with the dad arena
Ok got it ty
Thereās even a unique dad dialogue when thereās a fish right in front of where he faces when you walk in
Possibly the biggest laugh I had
āThis fish is taunting me.ā
I WANT THAT SO BAD
The fish dialogue or the Transistor aspect thing or what
The fish dialogue
I just came up with a cool idea for a headcanon, you know how in some myths Tartarus has its own personification who's one of Gaea's lovers and stuff
What if the red 'water' in the river Styx is like the blood running through his veins
Itās kinda interesting that the stronger enemies are in the nicer sections of Hades while the place for eternal damnation for the worst of all people/creatures is a pushover place in game
Obviously the progression makes sense from a gameplay perspective
its explained
Well I mean
I assume itās ācuz bad people tend to have weaker spirits
And great heros having stronger spirits
Or something
Idk
I totally get all the warriors in Elysium
Thatās well explained
Tartar is supposed to have all the really crazy stuff tho
Like the Titans are down there
I mean, there's exactly 1 titan in tartarus according to memory
The tartarus enemies are kept in check because they're close to the house
And he's in pieces
Yay I got my ambrosia back
Yeah but then you could get locked out of it and have to do all of that again
āAmusing chaos.
Reward: 3 Diamonds
Vanquish lord hades bearing the cosmic eggā
why
Seems like the entire point, as revealed by Zagās post-credits job, is to tighten security throughout the underworld. So why from Hadesā perspective would you make the Tartarus foes weak
So they don't try to break down the walls in the house
Because it amuses them. That's the entire reason
make it extra funny and beat dad with chaos shield 
Having Frost Strike and Arctic Blast on Lucifer literally makes it a ghostbusters laser
Oh hell yes, itās on Spotify
later on we do get that like assassin guy miniboss in Tart. so there are more sinister denizens down there that we do not typically see
what is the name of that enemy
Zag aināt āfraid of no ghost
i want to check its codex
Wretched Sneak
thank
...I am unfit to judge those who, in their mortal days, made work of taking lives. In my case, such bloodshed was sanctioned, even honored as a necessary consequence of war. But there are those who took lives for no cause other than personal gain. And now, even in death, they serve the highest bidder.Ā The MasterĀ gives them brief reprieve fromĀ Tisiphone'sĀ whip in exchange for ensuring the other worst wretches of Tartarus remain firmly in their place. They are not permitted to leave their solitary confinement; but should any other soul trespass there, they are all too eager to ply their old trade.
ok yes
so here we can infer there is a hierarchy of shades in Tartarus that are being kept in check
which i think is good enough for what's up with all the tartarus shades not being super evil and strong
shrug
godspeed
Lucifer has surprisingly good damage
Unlock all of the mirror
You can get more dice with Fated Keys
fated persuasion gives you 4 initial re rolls, then if you have fated keys (i think thats its name) picking up a key will give you another
Yo whatās the most fun interesting build yāall have done
i think keys on charon shop dont count tho
ares cast beo is an interesting build
when i want an interesting build i go Cold Embrace š³
or i find it fun to just go as hard as i can on one god like Zeus on Zeus shield, Poseidon/Poseidon, Dem/Dem i just think it is neat to focus on one in particular
sorry poor hydra, not my fault mirage shot is bugged on beo
Idk if this is how it works but if you have the Aphrodite ares duo and merciful end can you just spam a deflect move and constantly proc doom
if you re apply doom the ares-aphro duo never procs
Oh so it doesnāt work well at all
merciful end is already strong enough 
plus even if you could proc the doom from ares-aphro it will be 50% weaker than the og doom
So uh
Lucifer just bore a hole through Theseus
This is amazing
Should I get minoraur rush or explosive return
And Iāve got a bunch of special things on aspect fo chaos
Or ferocious guard
Explosive return only returns once on chaos unfortunately
Oh
Otherwise itd be really good huh
Uh are you doing a lot of rushing or a lot of blocking
So I just got aspect of Rama and I took relentless Volley instinctually and I canāt tell if itās good or unnecessary
if you want to focus in the special is fun
easier hangover stacks, more lightning, more doom for dire misfortune, etc
Dad just got Ghost-busted
im about to fight super dad with an egg
Ah shoot ima try and get zues special
The existence of Lucifer and Rama implies that both Christianity and Hinduism are canonically accurate in the Hades Universe
Yo game theory over here
No
The existence of Beowulf and Arthur imply that english folklore heroes existed
I mean in the in game universe lol
I have the thing that makes nectar give +1 Pom and I have rapid fire chrions bow so should I I get epic drunken strike rare premium vintage or epic numbing sensation
doom attack/doom special/blade cast/ares aid/impending doom/dire misfortune fun
how many boons from a single god is it possible to get in one run
no limit outside of eventually running out of chambers
cause I wanted to get the boon that made blade effects do more damage on consecutive hits
But I didnāt get any more ares boons :(
rng(tm)
whats your current special?
take the dio special then grab as many poms you can on it
Wait what special
Try get drunken flourish
wait do you have another source of hangover atm?
dio brando makes for fun builds
I have an odd question. so I am playing the PS5 version, and when I saved my game, left, and came back a couple hours later to play some more, the time it said I saved was in a different time zone than I was. so I tested it, saved, backed out and the save said it was 4 hours ahead of my time. anyone know the reason as to why?
what is your system time?
my system's time is correct
hm, then Iāll wait for someone who knows more about ps to roll around
I even checked my PC version to see if it does the same thing. it does not. the PC version has the correct time
OH MY GODS
CHAOS ACTUALLY LAUGHED ABOUT ME KILLING DAD WITH AN EGG
lmaooooo
YEAH
chaos easily one of the top 5 cuties in the game
If you play with their shield aspect they also say random things during your run
My favorite is entropy
#1: Dusa
#2: Chaos
#3: Cerberus
#4: The Chrustaceans
#5: Dusa
Ig im gonna do chaos shield run soon 
entropy š„“
Finally breaking the cycle of zeus/beo shield 
#1: Achilles
#2: Thanatos
#3: Dusa
#4: Chaos
#5: Achilles
theyād be on there if achilles didnāt deserve two spots
Yeah uh, extreme measures 4 is haaaaard
Super dad goes brrr
The soulcatchers are the worst part
I didn't even get to phase 3
I died on phase 2
Just get luckier with the summons 
Yeah basically
Alright. These tier lists are wack. You're going about it the wrong way entirely
I had a special build for the Hades spear
donāt make me make a full tier list
Anti-armor and explosive launcher
It would be wack
Indeed
This list was forged with Dusa's blood
- Arthur
- Chaos
- Persephone
- Alecto
- Theseus

4/6 gods done for the epilogue
Weāre getting there
Well, I have a good run going with Excalibur
I got Diving Protection
So between that and broken spearpoint I should be able to survive longer vs super dad
Oh and Iām close on Ares, Aphrodite, and Artemis too
Super dad attempt no2
Artemis done, pog
The Unseen Ones?
Itās available at the contractor for 5 diamonds
Or on Spotify for free
Beat Hades with just over half of my Plume time remaining
Pog
15:19.13
New fastest time
neat
hello! am about to try hades and cant wait to have some slashing fun š
Don't forget the stabbing
I prefer pummelling personally
Hey guys, new here. Just joined yesterday and chatted a bit
Loving the game
Finally able to get on to play today
Its really cool! I just got the game last week and am loving it; first time playing the genre of games
always loves rouglites so think hades is gonna be sick
especially with lock down i got all the time in the world
I recommend hiding in #h1-for-new-players until you beat the final boss for the first time
nws thanks for the advice š
Extreme Measures Theseus and minotaur can suck my ass
Hehe tonk and bonk
The aspect
Ok then yeah
reverse that gif with Athena's dash!
damnit
wrong reply
if this isnt ironic idk what is
Weeeeeell, yes, but also it was good
Must've hypnotized me
We Stan Hermes
Did it used to just throw more Shields by default without requiring you to do a charge
Also what hammer mods for aspect of Lucifer are good?
I'm using the infinite ammo one right now
i think theres 1 that messes w how the damage is dealt
vague ik but like i mean the style in whihc its dealt
It's this one, it changes it so that you have inf ammo but no damage ramping
Infinite ammo is alright if you've got the super soaker combo
Concentrated hell, and the quick fire one
You'd just be dashing around pushing people along so the damage ramp doesn't matter
100 runs pog
Apparently... There's dialogue for if you fight the bosses after you respec your mirror
For meg, at least
I'm sorta interested now
just meg
New Lernie dialogue 
Just meg? Kek lesgo kill the ex
r there 3 lernie or different lernie modes
can't remember off the top of my head if there's hades dialogue or if he only comments on no boons (my gut feeling says no but i can't verify rn), but otherwise meg is the only one who remarks on no darkness
There's like 5 lernie heads I think
Sickle, slam, fire, spawner, arrow
Or that's what I call them, anyway
I call them by their colours
Purple, Blue, Orange, Green, White
ok so is it 5 lernie or 5 lernie modes
The "main" lernie will have a different head each time
And during the phases, he can spawn heads with any of the effects
Does that answer your question?
so the heads take turns being the main one
Pretty much
im a fan of the 5 lernie theory
and i await em5 where you fight 5 lernies + dad eagerly sg make it happen
It might be possible to fight 5 lernies in a row
I mean, the modders already have boss rush
But all at once isn't, I think
25 heads at once
Too many entities
sg make it happen
Does Splitting Bolt work with Sea Storm?
I believe so?
Sea Storm works the other way 'round, though
It's enemies who are pushed away are struck and not vice versa
Yeah but Iām using Malphon
So Iām chasing them constantly while righteous thunder showers upon them
???????
I disagree but ok
Speaking of, I'm using Aspect of Zagreus rn for a run
It's MORE shoot and run
Zag rail?
You do you, man
You have to keep firing on target with Lucifer to deal damage
The specials on lucifer are pretty chunky
Pretty easy to do
Just keep specialing and running
100 base damage is nothing to snort at
Bro what
I never wouldāve guessed
Wait you're not on MnK are you
You don't even need to attack
Exagryph is the one weapon where controller isn't good
Uuh
Especially with Lucifer
Have to disagree
Incredible revelation: You need to attack to do damage
It does take a bit to get used to, but it's fine for the most part
Well let's not be rude
You need to hit your enemies to do damage oh wow
Filter's pretty low here
It's really hard to aim the specials with a controller unless you rely exclusively on the autoaim
Which I do
TBH I'd rely on the autoaim
It never puts them where I want them though
You don't need to predict with the Luci aspect
Positioning yourself well helps with auto aim
You just need to have the specials down and doing damage
They explode though
And also applying whatever status effect you have
Surface fish letās gooooo
Also, LC4 makes all health drops give you nothing. No health Regen per chamber either
They don't do continuous damage
You'd generally want them to not get hit and overlap
Mine just always exploded
They do, but the explosion is the main thing that's good about them
Centaur Hearts still give you extra health though
I had triple shot because I thought it would be better
It's sorta like lightning rod for me
It's a max of 3 on screen at once
Not surprising that they'd explode
Triple bomb is so good
ambrosia lesgooooo
Yep, stops all healing; Cursed Slash (sword hammer that heals per attack) and Draining Cutter (fist special heals 2% whenever you kill enemy) both still regen health, though
Oh damn, new fastest speed
14:51.35
Damnnnnnn
That's real quick
Sub20 and now you can always have TD3 on
Free heat lesgo
I was messing around with the lambent plume for Hermesā favour
Iām using Demeter fists rn
Why? I feel like thatās just a redundant amount of dodge chance when you could have Dem fists and nuke things
Because I suck at the game and I like facetanking shots that I could've avoided
Which is also why I don't play much with Pierced Butterfly
Butterfly and Plume are my two favourite keepsakes
Like, I could have avoided dad's spear that deals 50 damage when it plunges into my face
But why bother when you can cast a few more times and deal damage to him
I use broken spearpoint always for chamber 4
For styx?
Yeah it's useful against poison
But generally acorn is better
Unless you're on EM4 and dad spawns the blasted butterfly ball that eats all your dodges
Heya folks
Sooo i just got outta my battle with hades for the first time after beating bull and theseus for the first time
I thought i beat him on my first attempt! I was so impressed with myself
And then of course he regains full health and im like WTFFFFF
i lost.
š„
I went to him with 1 lucky tooth and 1 death defiance left, and nearly 200 hp
Well when you get to him, then itās only a matter of time
I mean, you can see how he and zagreus are the same
He has casts; he has a spear; he can dash
And that's why he can death defiance too
Why do I have Snake Eater stuck in my head
Yep! I hope. Just like the other bosses
I beat meg after 4 tries against her, bone hydra 3 tries, and the duo 3 tries
Hopefully i can do the same on hades
Dang i didnt realize
So true though
How do⦠i beat⦠myself!?
unzips
š
Why can you get both Greater Recall and Lightning Rod
That seems
Strange
GR is Hermesā legendary that returns casts to you immediately
Lightning rod is a duo between Artemis and Zeus that makes casts on the ground pulse with lightning
Nop I use a Switch like controller https://www.gamesir.hk/collections/gamepads/products/gamesir-x2-bluetooth-mobile-gaming-controller And it's perfect with this

Greater call is when you get you god meter completely full
I read greater call
greater REcall is different
Sup nox
Hey hey
Just beat theseus and bull for the first time š
Got to hades and lost on his second bar of health smh lol
Gamin
dashing is super important
spam it till the end of time
You can, and there's mamy hilarious stories about running and dashing to not collect the casts so that the lightning continues to strike
Thats what i end up doing in boss battles lol
ezpz
This might be a silly question, but should i dash away in circles?
get the boiling blood mirror upgrade
Cuz i normally do but sometimes dash back and forth
Dash away from wherever the danage is coming from
Except Theseus's spear and Hades's casts
Lol boob lol
funny eh
Yes i cast when i can; i find myself missing a lot while dashing lol
the mindlessnesss is more funnnn
'cause that hits when you have a dash boon
Nice yes
I guess when i do that, i time it poorly sometimes cuz he hits me when i go in
Hades? Yeah time it correctly
My keepsakes i ran were:
Poseidon
Then spiked collar
Then lucky tooth
Stayed with lucky tooth
And try not to attack while dashing if you're trying to avoid
It messes with your i-frames
What are iframes?
So if you dash at the right moment you can still be in the radius of attack and not get hit
Try it in tartarus
Dash towards a numbskull or something
Oh okay
not just a few frames
Is it like the first split second of dashing in?
Zagreus is completely immune to damage from the moment he starts dashing till the dashing ends and he comes to a stop
like the entire dashing animation is a huge iframe window
Ooooh
and yes, dash strike disables it
If you want to practice it, you can use the Ruthless Reflex mirror upgrade
š³
You should have it
Ohhh okay
so you are vulnerable to damage if you dash strike
if you just dash to avoid damage, dont dash strike
Unless you have delta chamber
Ruthless Reflex helps you time dashes better imo
It gives you i-frames
Mirror talent
Then you're not far enough
commit to avoiding damage if you just want to do that
Don't worry about it for now
dash strike is a tactical tool that may or may not be useful for a build
Ill look into that
There's a special zeus boon for near-avoidance though
Good practice for that
Also never knew zag was invul for the ENTIRE time
yep, you can not be hit through the entirety of the dash
Next time hades does his Minato Uzumaki thing I'll do that
it's very, very generous
Wait⦠so entire dash, zag is invul? So if i just dash literally in and out of hadesā body space while heās attacking, i shouldnt get hit?
Beo fists, greater reflex, greatest reflex
Ill deff try this next time
Dash as your main source of damage
Thanks everyone
there is also Divine Dash, widely considered as the best boon in the game.
It reflects attacks so you have an even wider window
it doesnt extend your iframes, but the deflect means you are extra safe against range attacks
like you could still be hit by the elite witches in Elysium since their projectile is huge and can scatter
but a deflect completely nullifies it
Oh is that an athena boon?
Isn't Divine Dash guaranteed on your first run, since Athena is a guaranteed spawn?
Athena, yes
Divine dash, no
Cast, attack, special and dash
Most would pick attack
no you are only guaranteed Athena as you first god
not necessarily divine dash in the selection
but the odds are high
I usually go for Dash since I frequently use and abuse Dash Strike
and since you cant get ME from dash, you should choose attack/special anyway
Does distant memory work with doom?
I'm pretty sure you can only get attack/special/dash first boon
Yes
So I have Ignited Ichor, Greater Haste, and Heart of Stone giving me an 8% speed boost
20%, 40%, and 8% speed boosts respectively
How much of an increase would that be? I remember someone in here saying it's multiplied, not added.
81.44%
Just got Rush Delivery as well
Nice
50% damage boost based off of how much extra speed I have
So I'm doing an Approval Process 1 run
And a Prophetic Duo Boon was barred
Epilogue Achieved, finally
niceeeeeeee
I now have 28 Ambrosia, 16 diamonds, and 2 Titan blood
What to use this all on, I have no idea
Ambrosia for Diamonds, Diamonds for Contractor Work
And I would upgrade gear in that case
ambrosia is for character relationship
I got Erebus pretty early
same, and then i couldn't use them for a good while because i wasn't nearly at 5 heat lol
My goal immediately after cleaning up the non-Olympian gifts is going to be mirror
After Mirror I guess I can work on the badges and/or themes
But like, the authorities are so damned expensive
They're worth it though
At least they get expensive
persuasion especially
Oh I'm not disagreeing, they are very much worth it. A reroll can be worth a fortune in games like this, but I do feel Persuasion may be a bit overpriced
What number do each cap at by the way?
I think I saw someone say 4
persuasion at 4, authority at 8
Gotcha, thank Hades Persuasion is at 4, I dunno if I could handle any higher
Fated Keys are your best friend
Ye
Legit though, I did have one good Darkness run where I got 1k off of Hades
Two Chaos boons boosting it for 200% combined and a rare Ocean's Bounty
I probably will also at some point go through with the bow to also clean up my 0 heat bounties
Because despite having Heat 2/3 bounties with the bow I totally forgot to clean up the Heat 0 ones with it xD
Honestly for me I got most of hte darkness I needed just ramping heat up and trying heats I struggled with, racked up darkness pretty quick while enjoying the challenge
Maybe, but for explicitly Darkness grinding it's generally safer to do Heat 0
I am not too concerned on higher heat/bounties quite yet
And care very little for the trophies Skelly has
I also am probably gonna tackle the higher heats for the trophies with an 80% God Mode
Just to get them outta the way
When I tackle EM4 I'm not gonna be using God Mode though
8 and 16 heat arent too bad imo
hint: follows a pattern
So 32?
Yep
That's ridic
It's a big leap from 16, sure
Just need a 4th statue for 64 heat
There's always the pins in #h1-high-heat-strategies if you need a guide
Ye
It's impossible if you're on hell mode as well, unless you want to route stuff
He means you literally can't even reach 64 heat unless on Hell Mode
I mean, impossible to do, sure
Bounties go up to... 20 Heat? Right?
yep
Alright, I couldn't recall
for 20 heat you should do em4 ri4 ap1 
What's ri and ap?
The worst pacts in existence
I only know a couple shorthands
Oh yeah not a chance
That's why 64 heat is impossible, you lose stubborn defiance and can only take ~3 hits for the whole run
Oh yeah, that reminds me, I need to clear a run with each pact at any level in order to clear a Fate
It is possible, just extremely unlikely without extreme degrees of routing and RNG manipulation
me dying in 32 heat
32 sword took me so many tries
Thankfully 32 only needs to be done once
yup
That's a thing?
after that I get to never touch spear ever again :D
I'm going to do a 32 heat all weps speedrun one day
I do it cuz challenge
Why u no like spear
or am doing it
Ahhh, not a thing.
spear gud
A fun
spear stinky
no it not
Spear is pretty good
go try B A N A N A
It's a 10 foot pole
I made it through all of Tartarus trying to die with it
I do cast builds on achilles
I was literally standing still only pressing the attack button
I dont like it, feels bad and doesnt do enough damage for me
"Is it like a fishing pole of some kind or what" -Skelly.
without flurryjab that is
But Achilles is my preferred spear ngl
Spear and shield have underwhelming damage.... until you get their hidden aspects :)
I'm waiting until 80 God hood to even try for Guan Yu prophecy
hidden spear best spear
Guan yu isnt that bad, just special everything from 2 miles away
Hidden spear rocks
It's the health cut that is the problem for me xD
Omg I turned the timer off and ||Hermes was like "Hey you turned it off, are... Are you okay?"||
XD
He complimented my speed in one of my more recent runs that I got a personal best on
Hermes sad now :((((((
Beowolf has a health cut too, basically, but no one complains about THAT
I GOT ONE YESTERDAYYY
I'll do a speedrun for him, as a treat
its not health cut
but beowulf so good that no one notices
just dont get hit
It's HL0.5
I forgot what challenge I got off that run tho. I had Ares Poseidon cast with Poseidon slam stuff, as well as just a lot of damage
Like, nothing could really slow me down.
Hows slicing flare? I never used it cuz it seemed too memey for me
It's bad
For speedruns that is
It's the only flare that doesn't have a sub 7, and that includes shackle zag flare lmao

That sounds like a challenge
With how many gemstones I had given to the Wretched Broker I probably could have gotten all the (non-diamond) furniture by now
yeah I used it and it seemed like stacking the flares didnt stack the damage
Which made me go ok nvm resetting
But I'm more focused on the bonds before furniture
Wouldn't you run stygian soul to do slicing flare?
Idk, the build is not optimised in any way
Still waiting on Hypnos favor >~>
Chaos is my best friend they gave me casts
Chaos is great period, we just pranked Hades by beating him up with an egg
I love his little laugh after Hades' death when you do it
I want hunting blades to affect blade dash
Looking down boon list, seems getting duo boons isn't gonna be too bad
Most require just one skill boon from a God to be available
Also I beat Than by not letting him get a kill recently too, that was fun xD
Does buying aspects count as investing into them
If referring to for the 5 Titan Blood for each hidden aspect, yes
Alr
I recommend buying each aspect anyways before doing upgrades
Well, plus whatever else required to unlock the hidden
Which is... think 2 extra Titan Blood beyond the aspect unlocks on everything but the Spear?
Man, the giant rats in Styx are annoying with Arthur Sword.
Tidal dash with breaking wave absolutely demolishes Styx, but you lose the safety of divine dash ig
How, when the attacks are so slow?
I thought dashing would cancel the attack
I've dashed to reposition for the big swipe
If you hold down attack while dashing, you dash strike quicker
It's weird
Can test it on skelly
It's a neat thing with Arthur too, so long as you're already in the combo, you can dash during it to reposition for the stronger hits
Arthur is a bit slow a weapon on it's own though, even though fun
I'll keep that in mind for the next run.
that technique works for every sword aspect, but itās much easier and more useful to do with arthur
Ye
I figured it out on my third Arthur run, it works so well using that technique with Crit Arthur with armor piercing.
Third swing with crit did like, 2k damage
I had Tidal Dash with Crashing Wave too so the dash in added more damage on top of that
Second run I lost due to just not getting enough damage output
First run was 10th clear so didn't even fight Hades
that'd be so coooool
I never actually picked up blade dash other than for the prophecy
Ares is bad
Change my mind
Urge to kill is eh
Doom is only good on certain weapons
He doesnāt have a call
His cast is only good with a duo
curse of longing is fun thooooooooo
curse of longing on chaos shield
curse of nausea is pretty fun on chiron
battle rage guan yu MMMMMMM
heyyyyy
welcome

Hello.
Is there any "easy" way of triggering dialogue between demeter and zeus about our mother
do you mean duo boon dialogue ?
Just run more
And grab demeter keepsake
You'll see her more and thus exhaust her dialogue faster
Though... Faster is relative - this game has A LOT of dialogue
Do I need to have Meg appear in Tartarus for her to be in the house?
no
She's never in the lounge unless I beat her. Where would she be?
if she is not in the lounge/talking with other character she is just not there
