azure osprey
strong ridge
#

alecto is harley quinn cmv

azure osprey
#

Hydra is where it’s at

plucky latch
#

You are nasty

azure osprey
#

Hydra should’ve been at the house of hades

#

And datable

strong ridge
#

i should be able to ride it

plucky latch
wanton quail
#

Wait what

lime echo
azure osprey
plucky latch
#

Alecto should be marriage dlc

azure osprey
#

Every boss should be datable

#

Including Charon

#

Wait nevermind

plucky latch
#

Nasty

azure osprey
#

I forgot about hades

lime echo
#

I mean it is hell, seems acceptable

plucky latch
#

They made Hades such a hulk of a man

strong ridge
#

and insecure

azure osprey
#

It’s pretty accepting times you know

lime echo
#

All I want is a little Cerberus pet to follow me around

#

then this game would be perfection

azure osprey
#

Okay but imagine

#

Datable shades

weary jackal
#

Achilles

plucky latch
#

Dude why would I want to imagine that

lime echo
#

and a little Lernie pet too

azure osprey
#

I hate his stupid face

lime echo
#

But imagine him as a cute little bone snake nipping at your heels

plucky latch
#

This guy hates snakes

azure osprey
#

Yeah

#

Because

lime echo
#

ugliness makes small things cuter

azure osprey
#

Dusa broke my heart

plucky latch
#

Snakes are just better versions of cats bro

azure osprey
#

I wasted my bottles on her

plucky latch
#

You gotta let them have their pie too

strong ridge
#

||real quick i’m 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||

lime echo
#

she already taken anyways

brave portal
plucky latch
#

Nah, I wish there was more choice between who you can romanticize. I did not like flirting with Than

azure osprey
lone kernel
#

Marry bouldy

#

ez

azure osprey
#

She’s a TREE

lone kernel
plucky latch
#

I just ended up giving all my stuff to Hades, Mom, and Chaos

azure osprey
#

Based

plucky latch
#

Also yeah, I wouldnt want to date someone Orpheus has been with

brave portal
#

don't do that to my boy

#

let him be happy

azure osprey
plucky latch
#

He seems happy

strong ridge
#

no ones stopping him

azure osprey
#

You had one job

#

Dude

#

And you failed

#

Did you think she wanted to stay in hell!!

plucky latch
#

I always attack Eurydice because she chuckles

#

She's the only npc I actively hit

mint coral
#

just beated boat man with gilga with ares dash dusa

#

cant believe i would say this but ty maim

azure osprey
#

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

mint coral
#

i was playing in fo2

plucky latch
#

Then why did you lose

azure osprey
strong ridge
#

owo

lime echo
#

I fought against Charon once, he seemed pretty brutal

plucky latch
#

Can't dodge a paddle?

azure osprey
#

Also I didn’t have any boons for my dash,attack,special or cast

plucky latch
#

šŸ’€

idle cargo
#

You can fight Charon???????

azure osprey
#

So

#

It took a year

strong ridge
plucky latch
#

Borrowing*

idle cargo
#

How do I thieve the items?

strong ridge
#

matter of perspective

plucky latch
#

This is why Zag is a little punk

idle cargo
#

Asking for a friend

mint coral
#

i got saved by ruthless reflex dusa
dodged at least 3 hits from charon

plucky latch
#

He just takes people's things. Doesn't even consider asking

strong ridge
#

in the mid chamber shops occasions he will leave his wallet out

idle cargo
#

Ohhh

lime echo
#

That boy rich too

azure osprey
#

Is there anyway I can skip the 1st area

#

It’s so boring

strong ridge
#

up heat

azure osprey
#

Ughhhhh

lime echo
#

@azure osprey go faster

azure osprey
idle cargo
#

Kill them

plucky latch
#

Mods

azure osprey
idle cargo
#

Also, I'm curious- which of the furies do you guys think is the easiest?

azure osprey
#

They should give zag an actual gun

weary jackal
#

Tisiphone

plucky latch
#

PS4 save file glitch

plucky latch
#

Tis seems the easiest

azure osprey
#

Tis is annoying

plucky latch
#

You dont have to worry about her attacks at all

idle cargo
#

They're all super easy to me, but Alecto is a bit annoying

azure osprey
#

Mag is predictable

lime echo
#

Tis can occasionally get me with her dash and fire

#

Mag is easy always

lone kernel
#

They get hard again at high heat

idle cargo
#

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

lone kernel
#

Like I expect to lose a SD

plucky latch
#

Guess we have different fingers

azure osprey
#

What does em1 add to the furies

#

So I can mentally

idle cargo
#

I only found out when I used the gun for the first time

azure osprey
#

Prepare

lone kernel
#

the other furies will show up as support

plucky latch
#

What do you mean When

azure osprey
lone kernel
#

Like you only need to kill one, but the others will show up and attack

azure osprey
#

That sounds awful with murder grandma

lone kernel
#

It’ll be either one or two support and one primary fury to fight

weary jackal
#

Em1 is so easy

plucky latch
#

Oh. Basically your screen becomes smoke eventually

lone kernel
#

You don’t need fo fight 2

lone kernel
plucky latch
#

So you might get a fight where you cant actually see

azure osprey
#

When about em2

lone kernel
#

And by themselves em1 whatever but throw in FO2 and some hard labor

azure osprey
#

How does hydra get changed

strong ridge
#

i was so disappointed when they were stuck in support roles

i was ready to rip n tear the furies

weary jackal
#

Vision is overrated, fight via sound

plucky latch
#

Makes Lernie an environmental hazard

lone kernel
plucky latch
#

Lava everywhere

lone kernel
#

And is way smaller so it can be a bit messy when the six heads come out

strong ridge
#

and float head

azure osprey
weary jackal
#

There is land

#

Just not as much

plucky latch
#

Baaically. And Lernie likes to sit in the middle of the lava

azure osprey
#

Okay what about em3

strong ridge
#

it’s usually good to clear one platform then use it to launch assaults on the other head duos

lone kernel
azure osprey
#

I know about em4

lone kernel
plucky latch
#

EM3 is like Theseus on Easy Mode

lone kernel
#

also Theseus gloats about how cool his armor is

weary jackal
lone kernel
#

Em4 is three health bars and stronger attacks and will make most people sad their first several tries

plucky latch
#

You have to change how you dodge Asterius' slam

plucky latch
#

Thats basically it

lone kernel
#

Just try it

#

They’re new fights to learn but they aren’t impossible

strong ridge
#

theseus is worthless in em3 it’s very funny

plucky latch
#

Yeah. He's reduced to nothing

weary jackal
#

He does become very very funny to kill

Asterius makes up for it

idle cargo
#

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??

weary jackal
#

Ridiculous. Denied.

idle cargo
#

Idk but it's funny watching him repeatedly deny them

#

Absolutely denied.

plucky latch
#

Does he ever approve anyone?

idle cargo
#

Yes

#

He approved one just now

plucky latch
idle cargo
#

That's the first time he's ever approved someone in my 37 runs

#

Laughable. Denied.

plucky jay
#

So I finally played Hades

#

Wow. What a game, 10/10 rn

plucky latch
#

Watch it

plucky jay
#

I have only done 12 runs and I lost to Hades on this last one, what a meanie

idle cargo
#

Ooo congrats on getting to him!

plucky jay
#

Games tough, the shield is my bff

idle cargo
#

I just beat him like half an hour ago on my 37th, after much grinding

plucky jay
#

Its kinda cheesy but really strong

#

I find HP and certain god boons are your bff

idle cargo
#

Athena is good for players starting out for sure

plucky jay
#

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

idle cargo
#

Dionysus my beloved

plucky jay
#

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

weary jackal
plucky jay
#

I did say rn

#

Lol

#

Subject to change

weary jackal
#

it gets better

plucky jay
#

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

weary jackal
#

I’ve gone between the Bow, Fists, and Shield today

plucky latch
#

I just use the sword

plucky jay
#

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

mint coral
#

i mainly use bow and shield

plucky jay
#

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

fiery bramble
#

I'm so close to getting all achievements, I don't want this game to end

deep zenith
#

Dusa

#

My beloved

weary jackal
#

Back again I see

deep zenith
#

Yes

#

Oh my goodness gracious

weary jackal
#

Heroic Deadly Flourish let’s go

tulip ridge
#

ballin

deep zenith
#

Mmm

#

Found dusa

#

Time to get a lil

#

Look

weary jackal
#

I will personally banish you to Tartarus

deep zenith
#

What

idle cargo
#

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

deep zenith
#

What

#

@idle cargo

#

Keep talking

#

That

#

Smack

#

Hydra

#

Know what

#

Finna go slay some hydras

idle cargo
#

I'll watch Hades stab you in the ribs from the afterlife²

#

I become ghost skeleton ooooo

deep zenith
#

As you should

#

bone snake

idle cargo
#

Considering your simping for Dusa, I'd assume you have a thing for snakes

deep zenith
#

It’s complicated

idle cargo
#

Fair

deep zenith
#

ā˜•ļø

#

dusa just built different

weary jackal
#

Gonna go kill Lernie now

idle cargo
#

Please no

#

That's my son

#

Don't kill my son

weary jackal
#

Dead

idle cargo
#

There's no way you got to him that fast

weary jackal
#

I said I would literally before I entered the boss arena

#

Not before the run

idle cargo
#

Oh

#

I hope you die to a wretch during the Hades fight

weary jackal
#

Not likely

idle cargo
#

True

plucky latch
#

Most likely

idle cargo
#

But it'd be funny

plucky latch
#

I already got my grandma to cast the hex

weary jackal
#

Thanks for the extra fishing, Poseidon
Lol

deep zenith
#

Or like a hydra

weary jackal
#

What is a man, but a miserable little pile of secrets?

short glen
#

a pile of flesh and bone

weary jackal
#

That is literally every living creature

short glen
#

no

#

Insects have no bones, among other animals

#

In fact the majority of living creatures don't have bones

royal hamlet
#

Hey guys šŸ˜‰ I have 25 Titan blood.. not sure wether to use to unlock hidden aspects or just level some up that I have?

weary jackal
#

Drink it SekiroSmile

idle cargo
#

Zagreus is thorsty

#

Feed him titan blood

short glen
#

Use it to unlock hidden aspects, they're all fun

weary jackal
#

Did
Did Chaos just tell me to beat Hades with the Cosmic egg equipped as a prank
Incredible

mint coral
#

chaos moment

weary jackal
#

The fact it said ā€œProphecy foretoldā€ after they told me to do that is threatening

mint spear
#

I love how long you can play and still get random prophecies to fulfill

weary jackal
#

ā€œHey Zagreus, kill your dad with an eggā€
ā€œWhyā€
ā€œFor the lulz, man. For the lulz.ā€

mint spear
#

For me the other day it was Poseidon being like ā€œyo kill Theuseus with EM3 pleaseā€ after I’ve already done that 5+ times

weary jackal
#

Oh awesome, Zeus just gave me Lucifer

#

Now I just need Beowulf from Chaos

mint spear
#

I can’t be the first one to have this idea, but adding an Aspect of Red for Stygius that’s the Transistor would be soooo sick

#

Like there’s a perfect worldbuilding excuse to give Zag the Transistor and have it make sense

weary jackal
#

Every time I’ve heard someone describe the gameplay of Pyre, it’s something basketball related

#

I have never played Pyre
And this confuses me

wind nest
#

You guys probably get this all the time but I’ve completed the game and now I can’t visit the surface proper

#

How can I get the fish there?

mint coral
#

hades arena can spawn fish

weary jackal
#

Get lucky with the dad arena

wind nest
#

Ok got it ty

mint spear
#

There’s even a unique dad dialogue when there’s a fish right in front of where he faces when you walk in

#

Possibly the biggest laugh I had

weary jackal
#

ā€œThis fish is taunting me.ā€

idle cargo
#

I WANT THAT SO BAD

mint spear
#

The fish dialogue or the Transistor aspect thing or what

idle cargo
#

The fish dialogue

hollow kettle
#

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

weary jackal
#

Erebus is Nyx’s brother

#

And he’s like 2 rooms

mint spear
#

It’s 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

strong ridge
#

its explained

weary jackal
#

Well I mean
I assume it’s ā€˜cuz bad people tend to have weaker spirits
And great heros having stronger spirits
Or something
Idk

mint spear
#

I totally get all the warriors in Elysium

#

That’s well explained

#

Tartar is supposed to have all the really crazy stuff tho

#

Like the Titans are down there

hearty sierra
#

I mean, there's exactly 1 titan in tartarus according to memory

modern garnet
#

The tartarus enemies are kept in check because they're close to the house

hearty sierra
#

And he's in pieces

weary jackal
#

Yay I got my ambrosia back

hearty sierra
#

10 ambro yay

#

wish there was an achievement for letting her have the ambro, though

weary jackal
#

Yeah but then you could get locked out of it and have to do all of that again

#

ā€œAmusing chaos.
Reward: 3 Diamonds
Vanquish lord hades bearing the cosmic eggā€

#

why

mint spear
short glen
short glen
mint coral
#

make it extra funny and beat dad with chaos shield ron

weary jackal
#

Having Frost Strike and Arctic Blast on Lucifer literally makes it a ghostbusters laser

#

Oh hell yes, it’s on Spotify

south lagoon
#

what is the name of that enemy

weary jackal
#

Zag ain’t ā€˜fraid of no ghost

south lagoon
#

i want to check its codex

south lagoon
#

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

mint coral
#

bringing back the topic of chaos telling you to use egg against dad

#

time to do em4

south lagoon
#

godspeed

weary jackal
#

Lucifer has surprisingly good damage

dusty lark
#

How do I get the refill item

#

Reroll

weary jackal
#

Unlock all of the mirror

dusty lark
#

For fated oersuasion

#

Like I’ve got the time but I’m missing the item

weary jackal
#

You can get more dice with Fated Keys

mint coral
#

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

cold marlin
#

Yo what’s the most fun interesting build y’all have done

mint coral
#

i think keys on charon shop dont count tho

mint coral
south lagoon
#

when i want an interesting build i go Cold Embrace 😳

#

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

mint coral
#

sorry poor hydra, not my fault mirage shot is bugged on beo

cold marlin
#

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

mint coral
#

if you re apply doom the ares-aphro duo never procs

cold marlin
#

Oh so it doesn’t work well at all

mint coral
#

merciful end is already strong enough dusa

#

plus even if you could proc the doom from ares-aphro it will be 50% weaker than the og doom

weary jackal
#

So uh
Lucifer just bore a hole through Theseus
This is amazing

dusty lark
#

Should I get minoraur rush or explosive return

#

And I’ve got a bunch of special things on aspect fo chaos

#

Or ferocious guard

modern garnet
#

Explosive return only returns once on chaos unfortunately

dusty lark
#

Oh

modern garnet
#

Otherwise itd be really good huh

dusty lark
#

Dow why should I get

#

So

#

What

modern garnet
#

Uh are you doing a lot of rushing or a lot of blocking

dusty lark
#

A good mix

#

Blocking then rushing

cold marlin
#

So I just got aspect of Rama and I took relentless Volley instinctually and I can’t tell if it’s good or unnecessary

mint coral
#

if you want to focus in the special is fun

#

easier hangover stacks, more lightning, more doom for dire misfortune, etc

weary jackal
#

Dad just got Ghost-busted

mint coral
#

im about to fight super dad with an egg

cold marlin
#

Ah shoot ima try and get zues special

weary jackal
#

The existence of Lucifer and Rama implies that both Christianity and Hinduism are canonically accurate in the Hades Universe

cold marlin
#

Yo game theory over here

deep zenith
#

Mmm

#

Dusa just asked if there was something that she could do for me

weary jackal
#

No

tulip ridge
#

The existence of Beowulf and Arthur imply that english folklore heroes existed

modern garnet
#

well they existed as much as zagreus did

#

and as much as lucifer

tulip ridge
#

I mean in the in game universe lol

mint coral
#

passion dash with epic greatest reflex and aphro legendary dusa

#

fun

dusty lark
#

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

tulip ridge
#

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

mint coral
#

no limit outside of eventually running out of chambers

tulip ridge
#

cause I wanted to get the boon that made blade effects do more damage on consecutive hits

#

But I didn’t get any more ares boons :(

mint coral
#

rng(tm)

dusty lark
#

Cuz Idkbwhst to pick

#

Idk what

mint coral
#

whats your current special?

dusty lark
#

Nothing

#

I got aspectof Chiron

mint coral
#

take the dio special then grab as many poms you can on it

dusty lark
#

Wait what special

mint coral
#

oh wait drunken strike

#

my bad

weary jackal
#

Try get drunken flourish

mint coral
#

wait do you have another source of hangover atm?

tulip ridge
#

dio brando makes for fun builds

drifting shoal
#

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?

tulip ridge
#

what is your system time?

drifting shoal
#

my system's time is correct

tulip ridge
#

hm, then I’ll wait for someone who knows more about ps to roll around

drifting shoal
#

I even checked my PC version to see if it does the same thing. it does not. the PC version has the correct time

weary jackal
#

OH MY GODS
CHAOS ACTUALLY LAUGHED ABOUT ME KILLING DAD WITH AN EGG

tulip ridge
#

lmaooooo

chrome wharf
#

YEAH

tulip ridge
#

chaos easily one of the top 5 cuties in the game

chrome wharf
#

If you play with their shield aspect they also say random things during your run

#

My favorite is entropy

weary jackal
#

#1: Dusa
#2: Chaos
#3: Cerberus
#4: The Chrustaceans
#5: Dusa

mint coral

I’m sorry but have you seen the Chrustaceans?
They’re amazing

proud zodiac
#

Yeah uh, extreme measures 4 is haaaaard

Just get luckier with the summons dusa

proud zodiac
#

Yeah basically

plucky latch
#

Alright. These tier lists are wack. You're going about it the wrong way entirely

proud zodiac

I had a special build for the Hades spear

tulip ridge
proud zodiac
#

Anti-armor and explosive launcher

plucky latch
#

It would be wack

tulip ridge
#

Achilles the cutest character

#

I will die on this hill

plucky latch
#

He is pretty handsome

#

Very manly energy

tulip ridge
#

Indeed

plucky latch
#

This list was forged with Dusa's blood

  1. Arthur
  2. Chaos
  3. Persephone
  4. Alecto
  5. Theseus

Alecto

Bold choice, but respectable

Did it used to just throw more Shields by default without requiring you to do a charge

hearty sierra
#

It shot in all directions instead of just in front, I think

#

Lemme check

proud zodiac
#

Also what hammer mods for aspect of Lucifer are good?

#

I'm using the infinite ammo one right now

strong ridge
#

i think theres 1 that messes w how the damage is dealt

#

vague ik but like i mean the style in whihc its dealt

proud zodiac
#

It's this one, it changes it so that you have inf ammo but no damage ramping

hearty sierra
#

Infinite ammo is alright if you've got the super soaker combo

weary jackal
hearty sierra
#

You'd just be dashing around pushing people along so the damage ramp doesn't matter

weary jackal
#

100 runs pog

hearty sierra
#

Apparently... There's dialogue for if you fight the bosses after you respec your mirror

#

For meg, at least

#

I'm sorta interested now

narrow hemlock
#

just meg

hearty sierra
#

Just meg? Kek lesgo kill the ex

strong ridge
#

r there 3 lernie or different lernie modes

narrow hemlock
#

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

hearty sierra
#

Sickle, slam, fire, spawner, arrow

#

Or that's what I call them, anyway

weary jackal
#

I call them by their colours
Purple, Blue, Orange, Green, White

strong ridge
#

ok so is it 5 lernie or 5 lernie modes

hearty sierra
#

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?

strong ridge
#

so the heads take turns being the main one

hearty sierra
strong ridge
#

im a fan of the 5 lernie theory

#

and i await em5 where you fight 5 lernies + dad eagerly sg make it happen

hearty sierra
#

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

strong ridge
#

25 heads at once

hearty sierra
#

Too many entities

strong ridge
#

sg make it happen

weary jackal
#

Does Splitting Bolt work with Sea Storm?

hearty sierra
#

I believe so?

weary jackal
#

Nevermind yes it does

#

Omg

#

Zeus Call + Sea Storm + Splitting Bolt

hearty sierra
#

Sea Storm works the other way 'round, though

#

It's enemies who are pushed away are struck and not vice versa

weary jackal
#

Yeah but I’m using Malphon

#

So I’m chasing them constantly while righteous thunder showers upon them

proud zodiac
#

Ok so

#

Lucifer sucks more than normal for exagryph

hearty sierra
#

???????

weary jackal
#

I disagree but ok

remote void
#

Speaking of, I'm using Aspect of Zagreus rn for a run

hearty sierra
#

It's MORE shoot and run

hearty sierra
#

You do you, man

remote void
#

I got Delta Chamber when I first started up

#

So uh

#

Yeah it does nothing

proud zodiac
#

You have to keep firing on target with Lucifer to deal damage

raw herald
#

The specials on lucifer are pretty chunky

remote void
hearty sierra
#

Just keep specialing and running

raw herald
#

100 base damage is nothing to snort at

weary jackal
remote void
#

Wait you're not on MnK are you

hearty sierra
#

You don't even need to attack

proud zodiac
#

Exagryph is the one weapon where controller isn't good

remote void
#

Uuh

proud zodiac
#

Especially with Lucifer

remote void
#

Have to disagree

weary jackal
#

Incredible revelation: You need to attack to do damage

raw herald
#

It does take a bit to get used to, but it's fine for the most part

remote void
#

Well let's not be rude

hearty sierra
#

You need to hit your enemies to do damage oh wow

remote void
#

Filter's pretty low here

hearty sierra
#

But yeah I'm just pulling your leg

#

Give it a chance!

proud zodiac
#

It's really hard to aim the specials with a controller unless you rely exclusively on the autoaim

remote void
#

Which I do

proud zodiac
#

It never puts them where I want them though

hearty sierra
#

You don't need to predict with the Luci aspect

raw herald
#

Positioning yourself well helps with auto aim

hearty sierra
#

You just need to have the specials down and doing damage

proud zodiac
#

They explode though

hearty sierra
#

And also applying whatever status effect you have

weary jackal
#

Surface fish let’s gooooo

remote void
#

Also, LC4 makes all health drops give you nothing. No health Regen per chamber either

proud zodiac
#

They don't do continuous damage

hearty sierra
proud zodiac
#

Mine just always exploded

raw herald
#

They do, but the explosion is the main thing that's good about them

remote void
proud zodiac
#

I had triple shot because I thought it would be better

hearty sierra
#

It's sorta like lightning rod for me

hearty sierra
#

Not surprising that they'd explode

raw herald
#

Triple bomb is so good

hearty sierra
hearty sierra
weary jackal
#

Oh damn, new fastest speed
14:51.35

hearty sierra
#

As does Guan Yu

#

Found this out the other day

hearty sierra
#

That's real quick

#

Sub20 and now you can always have TD3 on

#

Free heat lesgo

weary jackal
#

I was messing around with the lambent plume for Hermes’ favour

hearty sierra
#

Yeah, plume is real nice

#

I always have it with Zag fists

weary jackal
#

I’m using Demeter fists rn

weary jackal
hearty sierra
#

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

weary jackal
#

Butterfly and Plume are my two favourite keepsakes

hearty sierra
#

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

proud zodiac
#

I use broken spearpoint always for chamber 4

hearty sierra
#

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

fiery osprey
#

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.

#

😄

#

I went to him with 1 lucky tooth and 1 death defiance left, and nearly 200 hp

weary jackal
#

Well when you get to him, then it’s only a matter of time

hearty sierra
#

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

weary jackal
#

Why do I have Snake Eater stuck in my head

fiery osprey
#

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

fiery osprey
#

So true though

#

How do… i beat… myself!?

#

unzips

#

šŸ‘€

weary jackal
#

Why can you get both Greater Recall and Lightning Rod
That seems
Strange

fiery osprey
#

Lolol

#

Whats greater recall or lightning rod?

weary jackal
#

GR is Hermes’ 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

fiery osprey
#

Oooh nice

#

Yeah thats a wacky combo of boons

vapid fossil
#
polar root
#

I read greater call

#

greater REcall is different

fiery osprey
#

Sup nox

polar root
#

Hey hey

fiery osprey
#

Just beat theseus and bull for the first time šŸ™‚

#

Got to hades and lost on his second bar of health smh lol

polar root
#

Gamin

polar root
#

spam it till the end of time

hearty sierra
fiery osprey
#

Thats what i end up doing in boss battles lol

polar root
#

ezpz

hearty sierra
#

Also cast. A lot.

#

Cast is good

fiery osprey
#

This might be a silly question, but should i dash away in circles?

polar root
#

get the boiling blood mirror upgrade

fiery osprey
#

Cuz i normally do but sometimes dash back and forth

hearty sierra
#

Dash away from wherever the danage is coming from

fiery osprey
#

For my dash boob and strikes

#

Boon

hearty sierra
#

Except Theseus's spear and Hades's casts

fiery osprey
#

Lol boob lol

polar root
#

funny eh

hearty sierra
#

I prefer to dash towards the enemy

#

And behind

fiery osprey
#

Yes i cast when i can; i find myself missing a lot while dashing lol

polar root
#

the mindlessnesss is more funnnn

hearty sierra
#

'cause that hits when you have a dash boon

fiery osprey
#

Nice yes

#

I guess when i do that, i time it poorly sometimes cuz he hits me when i go in

hearty sierra
#

Hades? Yeah time it correctly

fiery osprey
#

My keepsakes i ran were:
Poseidon
Then spiked collar
Then lucky tooth
Stayed with lucky tooth

hearty sierra
#

And try not to attack while dashing if you're trying to avoid

#

It messes with your i-frames

fiery osprey
#

What are iframes?

hearty sierra
#

Invincible frames

#

There's a few frames that, when you dash, you can't get hit

fiery osprey
#

Oh??

#

I didnt know this

hearty sierra
#

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

fiery osprey
#

Oh okay

vapid narwhal
#

not just a few frames

fiery osprey
#

Is it like the first split second of dashing in?

vapid narwhal
#

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

fiery osprey
#

Ooooh

vapid narwhal
#

and yes, dash strike disables it

hearty sierra
#

If you want to practice it, you can use the Ruthless Reflex mirror upgrade

fiery osprey
#

😳

hearty sierra
#

You should have it

fiery osprey
#

Ohhh okay

vapid narwhal
#

so you are vulnerable to damage if you dash strike

#

if you just dash to avoid damage, dont dash strike

raw herald
#

Unless you have delta chamber

hearty sierra
#

Ruthless Reflex helps you time dashes better imo

raw herald
#

It gives you i-frames

fiery osprey
#

Idk what ruthless reflex is

#

Ill look for that

raw herald
#

Mirror talent

hearty sierra
#

Then you're not far enough

vapid narwhal
#

commit to avoiding damage if you just want to do that

hearty sierra
#

Don't worry about it for now

fiery osprey
#

Okie dokes

#

Thanks though

vapid narwhal
#

dash strike is a tactical tool that may or may not be useful for a build

fiery osprey
#

Ill look into that

hearty sierra
#

Good practice for that

vapid narwhal
#

yeah there are a few

#

there is also one for hermes

hearty sierra
#

Also never knew zag was invul for the ENTIRE time

vapid narwhal
#

yep, you can not be hit through the entirety of the dash

hearty sierra
#

Next time hades does his Minato Uzumaki thing I'll do that

vapid narwhal
#

it's very, very generous

fiery osprey
#

Wait… so entire dash, zag is invul? So if i just dash literally in and out of hades’ body space while he’s attacking, i shouldnt get hit?

vapid narwhal
#

yep

#

you can dash through everything in the game and take no damage

fiery osprey
#

Wow i had no idea of enemies attacks tho

#

Cool

hearty sierra
#

Beo fists, greater reflex, greatest reflex

fiery osprey
#

Ill deff try this next time

hearty sierra
#

Dash as your main source of damage

fiery osprey
#

Thanks everyone

vapid narwhal
#

there is also Divine Dash, widely considered as the best boon in the game.

fiery osprey
#

Oooooh

#

Sounds

#

… divine

hearty sierra
#

It reflects attacks so you have an even wider window

vapid narwhal
#

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

fiery osprey
#

Oh is that an athena boon?

remote void
#

Isn't Divine Dash guaranteed on your first run, since Athena is a guaranteed spawn?

hearty sierra
#

Athena, yes

#

Divine dash, no

#

Cast, attack, special and dash

#

Most would pick attack

vapid narwhal
#

no you are only guaranteed Athena as you first god

#

not necessarily divine dash in the selection

#

but the odds are high

remote void
#

I usually go for Dash since I frequently use and abuse Dash Strike

vapid narwhal
#

and since you cant get ME from dash, you should choose attack/special anyway

rich seal
#

Does distant memory work with doom?

raw herald
#

I'm pretty sure you can only get attack/special/dash first boon

raw herald
remote void
#

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.

raw herald
#

81.44%

remote void
#

Just got Rush Delivery as well

raw herald
#

Nice

remote void
#

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

polar root
#

Feelsbadman

#

epic rush delivery is the dream

weary jackal
#

Epilogue Achieved, finally

polar root
#

niceeeeeeee

weary jackal
#

I now have 28 Ambrosia, 16 diamonds, and 2 Titan blood
What to use this all on, I have no idea

remote void
#

Ambrosia for Diamonds, Diamonds for Contractor Work

#

And I would upgrade gear in that case

vapid narwhal
#

ambrosia is for character relationship

polar root
#

Erebus gates are super nice

#

they were the last thing I got tho.

weary jackal
#

I got Erebus pretty early

brisk trail
#

same, and then i couldn't use them for a good while because i wasn't nearly at 5 heat lol

whole ridge
#

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

wise oasis
#

They're worth it though

whole ridge
#

At least they get expensive

wise oasis
#

persuasion especially

whole ridge
#

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?

weary jackal
#

I think I saw someone say 4

wise oasis
#

persuasion at 4, authority at 8

whole ridge
#

Gotcha, thank Hades Persuasion is at 4, I dunno if I could handle any higher

weary jackal
#

Fated Keys are your best friend

whole ridge
#

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

wise oasis
#

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

whole ridge
#

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

wise oasis
#

the rewards are amazing

whole ridge
#

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

wise oasis
#

8 and 16 heat arent too bad imo

whole ridge
#

I know

#

I already have 8, I dunno what the last one is tho

wise oasis
#

hint: follows a pattern

whole ridge
#

So 32?

hearty sierra
#

Yep

whole ridge
#

That's ridic

hearty sierra
#

It's a big leap from 16, sure

raw herald
#

Just need a 4th statue for 64 heat

hearty sierra
whole ridge
#

Forget that xD

#

That would be cruel to the completionists

hearty sierra
#

Lmao 64 heat is the literal max

#

Also impossible unless you're on hell mode

whole ridge
#

Ye

raw herald
#

It's impossible if you're on hell mode as well, unless you want to route stuff

whole ridge
#

He means you literally can't even reach 64 heat unless on Hell Mode

hearty sierra
#

I mean, impossible to do, sure

whole ridge
#

Bounties go up to... 20 Heat? Right?

wise oasis
#

yep

whole ridge
#

Alright, I couldn't recall

wise oasis
#

for 20 heat you should do em4 ri4 ap1 smil

whole ridge
#

What's ri and ap?

raw herald
#

The worst pacts in existence

whole ridge
#

I only know a couple shorthands

wise oasis
#

routine inspection (no mirror) and less boon options

#

ap is approval process

whole ridge
#

Oh yeah not a chance

raw herald
#

That's why 64 heat is impossible, you lose stubborn defiance and can only take ~3 hits for the whole run

whole ridge
#

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I need to clear a run with each pact at any level in order to clear a Fate

wise oasis
#

dc2 td3 hl5 lc4 em2 then

#

on hestia

whole ridge
#

It is possible, just extremely unlikely without extreme degrees of routing and RNG manipulation

wise oasis
#

64 has been done routed

#

unrouted record is 61 rn

whole ridge
#

Oh? What wasn't used?

#

Let me guess, the mirror one

polar root
#

me dying in 32 heat

raw herald
#

CP2 and RI4

#

The rest was maxed

polar root
#

dude 32 is hard

#

im dying inside

#

I'd rather get a sub 10

wise oasis
#

32 sword took me so many tries

whole ridge
#

Thankfully 32 only needs to be done once

polar root
#

yup

wise oasis
#

must be done 6 times!

#

for 32 all weps!

polar root
#

man

#

imma really do go die now

whole ridge
#

That's a thing?

wise oasis
#

after that I get to never touch spear ever again :D

raw herald
#

I'm going to do a 32 heat all weps speedrun one day

wise oasis
polar root
#

Why u no like spear

wise oasis
#

or am doing it

whole ridge
#

Ahhh, not a thing.

#

spear gud

#

A fun

wise oasis
polar root
#

no it not

whole ridge
#

Spear is pretty good

polar root
#

go try B A N A N A

modern garnet
#

It's a 10 foot pole

whole ridge
#

I made it through all of Tartarus trying to die with it

wise oasis
#

I do cast builds on achilles

whole ridge
#

I was literally standing still only pressing the attack button

wise oasis
#

I dont like it, feels bad and doesnt do enough damage for me

polar root
#

"Is it like a fishing pole of some kind or what" -Skelly.

wise oasis
#

without flurryjab that is

whole ridge
#

But Achilles is my preferred spear ngl

modern garnet
#

Spear and shield have underwhelming damage.... until you get their hidden aspects :)

whole ridge
#

I'm waiting until 80 God hood to even try for Guan Yu prophecy

polar root
#

hidden spear best spear

wise oasis
#

Guan yu isnt that bad, just special everything from 2 miles away

modern garnet
#

Hidden spear rocks

whole ridge
#

It's the health cut that is the problem for me xD

gentle cloak
#

Omg I turned the timer off and ||Hermes was like "Hey you turned it off, are... Are you okay?"||

whole ridge
#

XD

#

He complimented my speed in one of my more recent runs that I got a personal best on

polar root
#

Hermes sad now :((((((

modern garnet
#

Beowolf has a health cut too, basically, but no one complains about THAT

gentle cloak
#

I'll do a speedrun for him, as a treat

polar root
#

its not health cut

wise oasis
polar root
#

just dont get hit

raw herald
#

It's HL0.5

whole ridge
#

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

modern garnet
#

Taking more damage is the same as a health cut

#

Roughly

whole ridge
#

Like, nothing could really slow me down.

wise oasis
#

Hows slicing flare? I never used it cuz it seemed too memey for me

raw herald
#

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

wise oasis
modern garnet
#

That sounds like a challenge

whole ridge
#

With how many gemstones I had given to the Wretched Broker I probably could have gotten all the (non-diamond) furniture by now

wise oasis
#

yeah I used it and it seemed like stacking the flares didnt stack the damage

#

Which made me go ok nvm resetting

whole ridge
#

But I'm more focused on the bonds before furniture

modern garnet
#

Wouldn't you run stygian soul to do slicing flare?

raw herald
#

Idk, the build is not optimised in any way

whole ridge
#

Still waiting on Hypnos favor >~>

wise oasis
#

Chaos is my best friend they gave me casts

whole ridge
#

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

wise oasis
#

I want hunting blades to affect blade dash

whole ridge
#

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

forest falcon
#

Does buying aspects count as investing into them

whole ridge
#

If referring to for the 5 Titan Blood for each hidden aspect, yes

forest falcon
#

Alr

whole ridge
#

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?

kind swan
#

Man, the giant rats in Styx are annoying with Arthur Sword.

whole ridge
#

Ehh, not that bad

#

I take advantage of the fact you can dash mid combo

raw herald
#

Tidal dash with breaking wave absolutely demolishes Styx, but you lose the safety of divine dash ig

whole ridge
#

And that too

#

By Styx ya don't really need divine dash

kind swan
whole ridge
#

Exactly

#

You can dash during the animation

#

A trait seemingly exclusive to Arthur

kind swan
#

I thought dashing would cancel the attack

whole ridge
#

I've dashed to reposition for the big swipe

raw herald
#

If you hold down attack while dashing, you dash strike quicker

#

It's weird

#

Can test it on skelly

whole ridge
#

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

kind swan
#

I'll keep that in mind for the next run.

quartz garden
#

that technique works for every sword aspect, but itā€˜s much easier and more useful to do with arthur

whole ridge
#

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

polar root
#

I never actually picked up blade dash other than for the prophecy

weary jackal
#

Ares is bad
Change my mind

polar root
#

Ares bad only because he doesnt have a call

#

he got a nokia 3130

weary jackal
#

Urge to kill is eh
Doom is only good on certain weapons
He doesn’t have a call
His cast is only good with a duo

polar root
#

curse of longing is fun thooooooooo

curse of longing on chaos shield

curse of nausea is pretty fun on chiron

Is there any "easy" way of triggering dialogue between demeter and zeus about our mother
