How do you get the secret sheild aspect?
#h1-story-discussion pinned messages for a guide
Is it too late to change what weapon I want to use mainly if I've put 3 Titans blood into a different weapon?
Because I prefer the Fists of Malphon to Coronacht
If you haven't started a run/changed rooms since then you can quit to menu and change what weapon you put it in
you wont run out of blood, if that is what you are worrying
Yeah. I more mean is it gonna be harder now if I change
Youll be fine
The Fists melt boss health
And I got an Artemis boon which makes a seeking arrow every time I land an attack or special so I murder everything so quick it's insane
I've got Dio Artemis and Dio Athena Duo boons. This run is going super well
THIRD TIME IN STYX LET'S GOOO
kill those rats
Styx is surprisingly easy ngl
Room 3
Boom Sack
2DD hades fight
FIRST BAR DONE
Final form 1DD
you got this
I DID IT
congrats! 
decent, is your first win anyways dont start comparing with others
remember you can boast in #h1-victory-boasting if you would like 
For a first clear that’s pretty damn good
Enjoy the dub my man
I think I was closer to 40 for my first clear lmao
My god
Same lol
I mean I've another save on Hell with 20
But I don't count that because I never even beat the first boss
My fastest is 12:26 but that’s after 164 wins
A lot of practice and some busted weapons
Eris rail and 285 hours game time lol
The world record is under 6 mins in-game time, i think
my first run was 26:10
thought it was slower
5:57 with beowulf iirc
Wait how the hell?
Practice is a hell of a drug
free rooms, got what beo needs early, and practice
Also lil tips to improve your time like dashing right and pausing when making decisions
https://youtu.be/AMb05zKj_3w this one is the Eris rail in 5:57
If you would like some information about speedrunning you can check this: https://www.hades-guides.ovh/index.php/eris-rail-guide/
Tartarus: 0:34
Asphodel: 4:07
Elysium: 7:57
Styx: 11:15
Great run overall, and gold build. Featuring a bad move on every bosses though :-s
Probably also made some mistak...
but @brisk trail from someone who isn’t much of a gamer prior to last year - it’s totally doable if it’s something you want!
hades "your way to hold the (shield name) reminds me of zeus"
me using chaos aspect; what
(Sub 15, I’m only human)
Sub-15 is totally doable
THIS ENDING
That’s the beauty of this game - eventually you’ll reliably beat it, and want more anywya, so you start cranking up the heat and speedrunning etc lol
WHAT IS THIS
depending on your weapon you might even do sub 15 by chance
NAH WHAT WAS THAT
I mean, what did you think this game is about
ALL THAT TIME AND I'M BACK HERE UGH
There is no escape
Time to go beat up dad again ig
It's like an allegory for insanity
Bum bum dum dummmmmmm
Yeah it makes sense but I hate that
Now do it again, and again, and again, and again for 10 more times
Lmao Hades acting like a child
Then you'll roll credits
Then you’ll have epilogue lol
Then you might go the way I went and keep playing just because
"what if we think a small but dangerous insect, landed on zagreus, the assasin of the hydra, putting and end to its journey"
i love the post credit deaths 
I beat the game once, I'll beat it a hundred times, then I'll do it again on hell mode.
time to make it harder 
Lmao ooh do HL5 LC4 on your first run after doing hades
Story Spoilers ||How come Zag and Hades can't leave, but Persephone can? Don't know a lot about Greek mythology and all that so...||
do RI4 as well
they dont have full mirror, cant use RI
Persephone was an olympian
Oh makes sense
So the same would happen to Nyx, Hypnos, Thanatos ect?
|| hades was cursed to rule the underworld ||
but is hades really a cthonic god
Isn't Thanatos the God of Death tho?
I feel like he should be an Olympian
|| he was originally an Olympian ||
ah
If he died from collecting mortal souls he'd suck at his job
|| thanatos isn't a God. He is death ||
Is Orpheus' Muse the ! In Asphodel?
Fair point lmao
ye
The personification of death, anyway
Essentially only zag and hades can't leave
Semantics are cruel
I'm so smarttt
Nyx the mother of darkness gave birth to the twins sleep and death
I use my switch significantly more than my ps5 these days because of hades lol
At least of note
(I know that it’s out for ps5 but no save transfers so nope)
If I had a switch I probably wouldn't have ever found this game so I'm glad for that
well this run is going fine
beo with passion flare and both artemis and poseidon spawned in tartarus 
mirageshot lesgo
Oh, wow, you're right
I don't know why I'm shocked
Just that the only similarity between them is their deathly complexion?
They aren't identical twins only fraternal
How many upgrades to the mirror are there? It's now 30 keys!
You're telling me someone went ahead and boinked the personification of night?
No
That's the last one
Family Favourites is better than Priveleged Status, correct?
Yes
Aren't her children's father erebus
Some of them are?
Dark Foresight or Olympian Favour?
Also "asexual reproduction" makes me think of snails
Chaos reproduces asexually, not nyx
Foresight always
dark foresight unless you need to grind a lot of darkness
I kinda do. Still only have 2DD
I mean, at least the greeks wrote something about Nyx
I have no idea where SGG pulled the idea of Chaos from
Favourite boon giver, don't get me wrong, but wow do they not fit
dark foresight will make the escapes easier too, also bosses drop darkness too even if you dont pick up from chamber
I'm pretty sure chaos is one of the Titans that was just always there
What on Earth is the pact of punishment? Should I bother with this rn?
Likely spelled with a k or something
tl;dr make the game harder and you can get the titan blood, diamons, etc again with a weapon you completed a run
makes your runs harder
just don't mess with it rn
Haha it came out for switch last November
in your case, you escaped with the fists so beating bosses with them again will only give you darkness
Chaos is a primordial God, not a creation of ssg
What Aspect for Malphon?
I'd go zag
Sgg only put their spin on Greek mythology, didn't add much
Dem is good too
Demeter
Malphon imo is easier before you have your mirror maxed
Dem's playstyle is "charge your fists until you can nuke enemies with special"
Dem or Zag?
Dem it is
Never zag lol
Zag is dash-strike dash-strike dash-stike ad infinitum
zag fists can be fun with hermes keepsake if you want dodge chance but demeter will give more damage
Zag bow and zag sword sneer at you
Chiron bow intensifies
but Rama
Zag sword is bad
I mean, 5 blood for all the usability in the world
lmao
zag sword does pretty much nothing?
Doesn't speed up your dash strikes
attack speed
but Rama and Excalibur
we are still gonna max it for that prophecy sadly
pew pew
True
boomstick
Daaaash strikes not effected by attack speed
SKELLY QUEST
So essentially I don't need to use the pact until I get my Mirror maxed then I'll start fiddling with Pact of Punishment
The only aspect tied to a quest
Yep
The pact is for farming materials
you can bother with the pact if you want, is fun to try
The best thing is, if you use the same weapon to beat hades, you'll get loads of darkness
The pact will allow you to get more blood and diamond and ambrosia. And also to give you endless replay value because sooner or later you’ll have the game kinda figured out so you crank up the heat so it’s a challenge again
How much is loads?
When I unlocked it I didn’t touch it for three weeks
Several hundred a run, I think?
250 for dad base
I think it’s like 500 from bosses alone total?
Close to 1k if you dedicate your run to it
Yeah I'm gonna ignore it until I get my Mirror sorted
And even if you blow the run, you still get a blood for beating Meg
oceans bounty is nice
If you use the weapon with dark thirst you can get almost a thousand
Wait is it every time I beat Meg I'll get a blood or do I need to turn up the heat every time?
Yes there's a fishing minigame in this game
The pact is there to give you more hades to play lol
Gotta turn it up
You'll have to turn up the heat or use a different weapon
Damnit
Gotta turn it up
But you can beat Meg with all weapons on one heat and get 6 bloods
Then put that into Eris rail and now you can easily win up to 5 heat lol
How can I check what weapons I've beat Meg with on no heat? Or do I have to just remember?
it'll show when you pick an aspect, too
I've got all 6 on 0 heat
I mean, you can read the entire pact and see which one appeals to you
It doesn't make the game LOADS harder
Until you get to like 16 heat, that is
I'll just go for darkness right now
Heat doesn't make the game harder until you really start piling it on
there's no right way to play
Go for it! Use the same weapon
Much harder*
eventually you'll want the challenge
But do whatever you like, there's no wrong way to do it
Yeah the game really got hard for me past 28 heat
i mean i did 40 the other day, just because
32 is challenging
Yeah I will Eventually I just wanna do my mirror rn
Mirror is very important yeah
then do it again with the fists and farm that darkness my man
maybe take poseidon's ocean's bounty
or chaos eclipse boon if u get it
Flying Cutter on Demeter Fists is gonna shred
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
mirage shot beo obtained
also rare rush delivery
sadly only a lvl 2 common aphro flare
Sub 5 incoming 
this is em4 lol
Lmao at this point just pick up pom blossom and go through all 5 tunnels for the sweet, sweet levels
'cause why not
i already got my sub 10 with shield so im happy
Melt ol' dad with the power of love
dont feel like pushing lower
casually flexes sub-10
Still sub 10
Still sub 10
same
still sub-10
sub 10 is one hell of an achievement
Still haven't hit sub-11 legally
Are the Olympians stupid or do they just not care that Zagreus isnt actually trying to reach them
So they just dumb
I mean, yes, but no
Nyx is stopping them from seeing you
Shes clouding their view of the entrance to the underworld so they can't tell where you are
nuking the butterfly ball feels so good
And it's always snowing because grammy
I love how thats a secret in the game but I knew it the whole time
I have an amazing seed For speed running atm, had a 1:44 Tartarus and a 3:02 asphodel
Sick
I hate Asphodel with every fibre of my body
start praying for the 2 sack 
My fastest Asphodel is 3:13
Despise it
Id rather do asphodel twice than elysium
100%
Elysium takes forever
Makes you wonder why zag takes damage from lava when he has fire feet
EXACTLY
Hes only fire resistant he says that
Flaming feet don't stop magma lol
Damn I didn’t get clockets only triple rockets
elysium can be very annoying, but so can asphodel. when one of those skeletons just keeps jumping around and you can't catch it 
makes sense considering lava doesnt damage you for some moments
If you hate lava just run Arthur
Ah, yes, FO2 moments when you're the one being kited instead
If you want, join the speedrunning server
Laughs in Heightened Security
exactly
Doesn't matter if you have HS on Arthur special blocks them
HS more like "why would you take this at low heat"
with the duo boon
Duo boon with who
For resets
artemis
don't you bouldy me
XD
I'm going for a Dio boon now
Imagine taking a boon to counter trap damage
Dio Artemis is broken good
sure footing best boon
it's great for hades' vases
How much is the increase of hs like 400?
yep
So 90 doesn't really counter it
I mean, it reduces it so that it's negligible
Also doesn't arthur only apply for within its radius
depends on whether it's multiplicative or additive
Right but if I take hs I'm trying not to hit traps not take a boon to allow me to eat them
It's multiplicative
So 90% SF with HS is better than no sure footing and no heightened security
exactly - imagine taking a boon to counter a heat
nobody mention WEAK and HL5
Poor Than just doesn't wanna lose his friend
Jolted FO stare at you
Lmao Jolted FO2 is just taking advantage
XD its so mean
Oh Meg about to get MELTED
Something like Chill FO2 is more like my analogy
Jolted FO2 makes sense
Good luck hitting your ex
Enemies attack more often, jolted procs more often
the blue dudes in asphodel, jolted melts
That just sounds oof
I have no issue with that. She tried to kill me many a time. I'll throat punch her some idm
Don't be mean to meg she's just doing her job
didnt get artemis legendary but my cast from charon well lasted to dad fight, time to nuke him
Gl!
Meg dead
Jesus
pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow
mercy and all that
I like Meg I'm trying to max out affection lmao
Then collect casts
Real quick, damn
Mercy is for the WEAK
lmao he summoned butterfly ball only to get nuked out of existence
Weren't kidding when you said melted
Fists melt everything
apparently so
lmao
I killed the Hydra in about a minute too
try killing your dad in a minute
Wait till this guy gets beo, man
ggez
Bro?
They'll be a speedrunner in no time
Beo?
super dad dead
Pog
ezpz
How do I get the hidden aspects?
Also the most discussed aspect in this server as far as I can see
what weapon was it?
Check pins in #h1-story-discussion
beo passion flare
I swear we get this question 10 times a day lmao
It was flood
Thank goodness a mod pinned it
beo best weapun
It's relatively new meta, lots of discussion on it
Oh cool thanks
Strange that Hades hasn't been solved yet after a year
But hey tetris got a new input technique like a month ago and that's a game that's probably older than me a few times over
Going for Dio Artemis Duo Boon now fun
I mean it's been changed hasn't it ?
Not really
Not really changed since the last major patch which was the Eris nerf
Yeah and that didn't really do much
It's just big
It was more the nerf of the sigil
Eris still busted
And buff of Achilles spear
I just took the wrong Chaos boon on accident now its time for torturw
attack damages you ig?
Not too bad
ah not that bad
at least you dont pick "cant pick your casts" with a cast weapon
“More enemies” is only atrocious if you’re speedrunning
Had to only play with special for a bit with poseidon sword
Do you have companions unlocked
No.
You could also blood sacrifice to chaos
Good luck then
i remember taking a lot of "rewards are hidden" when starting the game
never again
It's better if you have foresight
Chaos boons don't effect Minibosses right
Like, i'd take it if I weren't tryharding
extra damage does
Not the more enemies one, no
Unless it's the doomcrystal, I think
Minibosses have set amounts of enemies
I'm not sure about doomcrystql but it's a pushover
whats the point of the cast?
Damage increase to target
To kill the rest of the health?
Or whatever your cast is
boiling blood doesnt affect meg
It only has like what 700 armor
I just meg the doom crystal and spam attack for a second or two and that does it
There is health after the shield
Just so you don't have to cast after meg
690 points too many
lemme oneshot the damn thing
the other day i managed to do 5170 with than summon, was fun
change of peace of using gilga only to dash
Theseus calling on an Olympian getting denied is a good mental image
@brisk trail Favourite olympian, personality-wise?
Poseidon is also pretty cool too
"All bravado that one" -Aphrodite.
Don't think Dio has any bad boons tbf. All good in a scenario at least. His cast is his most questionable though.
peer pressure sucks
Smouldering air is terrible.
"See green boon click green boon"
no
is gud
i instantly picked smoldering air
especially since i already have the zeus boon that gives me +15% damage after using my call
I'd rather have access to a full call for the harder bosses like Hades and the Elysium bosses though.
it depends on the call that you have
zoos call gud
but in this screenshot they have zeus call so smoldering air is very good
I suppose it'd work well for Dio
is not that hard, you got this ezpz
Hades isn't too bad once you learn his movements
A lot of his harder hitting attacks have a lot of reaction time
yeah i melted asterius and theseus, this'll be fine
although i did lose two dd's in tartarus
Who to?
meg
... and some witches
Oh
How many dds can you get from the mirror? 3?
yep
His cast is actually amazing - as is most casts in this game
dio cast has the disadvantage that it doesn't get lodged in foes, but it does big damage and the duo boons for it are good
Why is there no Zeus romance option
There should be a Zeus romance option.
No
Once Persephone leaves for Olympus is she permanently gone or coming back? Feels kinda bad to have worked through the entire game to get her back just for her to be gone afterwards. Something like her showing up every four runs would also match the whole, 3 seasons in Olympus and 1 season in the underworld mythology.
she comin back
Ah ok good
she goes away often tho

Basically, she just keeps bouncing back and forth for the rest of the game. So, sometimes, Mom is home and sometimes she is off visiting her folks.
I was finally able to get 100% of the achievements out of this game.
nicee job
If I finish a run on heat 5 before I finish a run on heat 1, do I get the awards for heats 1-4?
Or do I need to go 1 heat at a time?
You'll get the rewards for the lowest heat you haven't cleared yet
So you can do 5 heat 5 times to get premium rewards
Gotcha, so sounds like not much of a reason to skip heats and I should just go one at a time.
Thanks!
Just out of curiosity, what you guys' favorite weapon?
rail
Hidden shield
how do you even play hidden shield
i dont think im playing it right
how many casts do you load at once
Myself my favorite is the bow, and the one I like the least is the fists
My pierced butterfly damage bonus reset down even though i never switched it, why?
3 unlocked, 3 to go
https://imgur.com/JibXR48
this em4 music bangs
Shield
yes
Load all 14 of your casts at once
Fists then Bow, then Shield, then Rail, Then Sword, Then Spear. Spear is awful
Just got hades down to 10% health on 20th try
Nice! You'll definitely get him next time. He just requires some learning of his movements.
I've only beaten him once. On run 18 now. Pummelling Elysium enemies like there's no tomorrow.
From my limited experience with the fists, they have low dmg and dps
sword, specifically the hidden aspect
Have you tried Zeus attack on them?
I am pleasantly surprised how people's preference varies, I think it is a statement as to how good the weapon;s designs are
I don't think so
my man
Works really nicely
Same
Spear just isn't that great. It's attacks whole thing is range, and you can outspace it with alot of other weapons. It's special is just a worse Aegis special. It's charge up attack is far too unusable. The weapon is too reliant on good Hammer enchants and boons.
Maybe I'm missing something tho
i agree about the hammer (flurry jab our beloved) but doesnt need much boons
at least for achilles
Yeah. It's just far too unreliable. At least with Shield or Fists you get consistent results. I use shield, I get to Hades. I use Fists, I beat the game, I use spear, I lose to Meg and then the Hydra.
The Hydra for God's sake.
you can also use achilles to do cast builds if you really dont want to touch the rest of its kit 
Yeah fair. I'll stick with my punching until I find out that somethings better than them.
When I've been using Fists, they deal mega high damage. It might be the boons I'm using tho. Dio Attack, Artemis Special, Splitting Headache.
dio attack on fists is nice
tho you should get aphro (and if lucky, ares) for the duo boons
ME will literally destroy everything
And then Demeter Aspect with Artemis attack does ridiculously high damage.
Hit em with the ol merciful end
From my experience, (which is very limited) keep behind him. He has alot of attacks that focus on his front, like Asterius. If there's more than one skull, try take them down. When he goes invisible, his footsteps are still visible, so you know whre he's going to appear. Aside from that, it's just learning his attacks and the timings ect. Try get something that does extra damage to shielded enemies for the ones he summons.
ohh
if you can get to dad without much problems from styx, take acorn/looky tooth
In his final form he's alot more aggressive. He likes to keep on top of you. Keep up the same sort of strategy but keep yourself around a pillar for his lava beams. The only thing you really have to dash away from is the 360 slash.
Acorn saves lives
dashing away from the spin is more dangerous imo, that thing has reach
Keeping behind him doesn't help much, he turns to you and doesn't have a blind spot like asterius
Distance is more valuable for dad
For unlocking shield aspect I have to speak to chaos … does that mean I have to have shield equipped and not give her nectar just go to the normal boon interaction?
Me using Fists. Right.
i wanna unlock heat
Stay back and dash into range after he attacks
first you need dialogue from chaos about your shield (or about the aspects) then after that just keep talking to them until they give you the phrase
ofc be sure you have the titan blood requirements first
Yeah tbf the moment I picked up fists Hades became way easier. With correct boons, you can take him down in a minute thirty, I'd guess.
@mint coral is that just normal dialogue form as if I was to go for a boon or do I have to give her nectar for it?
Just normal
chaos is they btw
Does anyone happen to know exactly what happens if your switch died in the middle of a run? In this scenario, you are in the center room on Styx when it happens
Died to Hades with a damn good time though
7m 32s.
I mean I lost but that's a good time to get there
The game autosaves at each chamber, youh should be fine
Bear in mind he was like 10% health
My guy that is top 150 time
Uh what
7 mins?
The whole run took you 7 mins?
Bruh what
I feel like that's wr rta
That's like 3 min igt
Wr rta?
Did you happen to record this run
Nah I wasnt recording
I was just casually playing
I heard there's a different ending
So I'm trying to unlock it
But Idk how
You have admin chamber right?
???
Ok because that feels like kinda inconceivable
The room that has all the shades working
I'm not sure
I'm in the middle of another run rn
Just remember I didn't actually beat the game
I lost
So you're telling me a casual run took you 7 mins real time?
That includes Tartarus, asphodel, elysium, and styx?
Do you have IGT turned on in game?
Thats beyond unbelievable Im sorry
Yeah
Meh understandable
No I timed on my phone
3 weapons takes the wr around 15 mins per weapon of real time
I didn't know there was a timer feature built in lmao
Go to your admin chamber and see how long it took you to die. Just for reference. You can screenshot the run saying that you died to Hades at however much time
Yeah if that's like world record time then it's understandable you don't believe.
And also your first clear took you 27 mins
Yeah ik
Because I don’t really think you’re making it up, I think you just mistimed something or made some timing error
It does sound unbelievable I get why you're so sceptical.
Possibly. I don't think I did but its possible.
Definitely more probable than me with world record times
Or maybe they are just routing their runs
which fists are the best?
bruh moment
Go to the admin chamber (the place where you can see your old runs and your personal stats). View old runs, then see how much time you spent on that last run and send the screenshot if you can
Demeter imo
yeah
no.
thats admin chamber just to make sure you've been there
sussy
I'll look for it after this run.
Ok
Maybe they just have some pretty good rng
dream luck
next run ill try getting to hades with fists
Tbf considering I'm already at 4 leaving Tartarus on this run, it's a mistime.
It literally has to be
I still am interested in the screenshot though if possible
Probably not. Don't have access to the Xbox app rn. Might be able to send it tomorrow tho
Is dread flight any good on chaos shield
I'm so losing this Hades fight
Like there's just no chance
I kinda feel bad for Hades tho
Did you check the admin chamber?
It's the same run
Oh alright it’s just been 4 minutes so I thought you might be done
Nah. I'll have a look tho
Can I beat Hades on 71 health with no DD? Hell no.

Yeah 3 hits and I'm dead
Funnn
Alright check the run before that in the admin room
Where abouts is it?
Near where than shows up
Oh you haven’t even unlocked it
Check the contractor maybe
No. I don't really know how lol
Unless you havent had the dream sequence
its a gate to erebus
Oh really?
yeah its pretty crazy
Who is Erebus?
It really is.
They are chambers that you need to no hit
They are better rewards than normal chambers
erebus gates are these gates that require certain amounts of heat to enter (5 in tart, 10 in asphodel, and 15 in elysium) inside of those you will find enemies that you need to kill without getting hit
and if you get hit you get an onion

Anything but an onion
1 hp wooo
3DD finallt
also eurydice will tell you your breath sucks if you eat an onion before seeing her
so dont do that
Isnt there a victory message related to onions too?
Excuse me where the hell is Skelly
yeah
change your weapon
Nah I left already
oh
Will my boons always be the same if I restart a run?
So I didn't get the right Dio boon, if I go back in will they change
And if I change my keepsake?
I just changed my keepsake to Artemis so I have the right boon now
Itll change the first boon
Would it change the rewards thi
So Dio had special
If I change to Artemis, will it still be special?
Am I making sense?
yeah i think so
yes
Right okay I'll do that then
Is 7:30 actually a top 150 time?
7:30 in game is like 140 or so
Damn
To be fair though, there are a lot more runs than that above it
It’s just that most of them are ties
Like there’s a 10 way tie for 58th
The - on the speedrun leaderboard doesn't indicate ties. It means that's the aspect record for that player but they have a better time with another aspect.
Oh my god I just got to pact 6 and Thesius and Asterius omg....
They're all glammed out it's amazing :3 I love this game!!
Oh ok thanks!
(pact 6 spoiler) ||He's got a flippin bandolier and throwing missiles everywhere|| XD I love it!!
Don't be so impressed you forget to fight him. 
I was running low on dd and health, so I did die there.... X3
Also I think it's hilarious that there's a Charon well item to just delete the flame wheels
they know the pain
which aspect is good for the shield?
Zeus/beowulf are good for high heat/speedruns but chaos/base still are decent iirc
Why is asphodel so short compared to tart and elysium
cuz you rush through it so fast? they are all the same number of rooms @lone kernel
Bosses are in chamber 14 > 24 > 36.
So 14/10/12
Tartarus is chambers 1–15. Asphodel is chambers 16–25. Elysium is chambers 26–37.
More the design philosophy behind it, I feel like I finish asphodel real quick compared to other two
You do. Asphodel is the fastest area.
Since Hades was early access, I believe the logic goes something like this Tart & aspho were longer but as Elysium & Styx were added during early access, they shortened the biomes to keep the overall run time down.
Well, biome length isn't a goal, it's a means to an end.
I guess they've decided that the length of Asphodel works well enough for the purpose of encounter variety and stuff.
Good luck with 32 Heat.
If you need any help, ask away in #h1-high-heat-strategies.
The best time for trying 32 heat
Screw you too, than
https://imgur.com/a/KUnWRo5
Beowulf 34 heat let’s go!
Downloading hades gemme gemme
well, unfortunately can confirm, hades on fightstick isnt good. movement is way to jerky, as it doesnt let the stick act as an analogue stick, only as dpad. so pretty much cant smoothly rotate directions, its blatant UP, or RIGHT, or UP/RIGHT, no middle ground between those inputs so you move in an 8way lock. unfortunate
I mean that's how kbm is, it's not that bad
Why would you use a fightstick outside of fighting games
because you invested in one so why not use it on everything you can lol. it rules for shumps too
anything that really doesnt need a second stick for camera control
but m&k gets the M part to make stuff super accurate at least. with the stick it just feels clunky
Ah fair if you're using it to aim too that must suck
yeah, really didnt think it would be anything other than awesome. pretty dissapointed. it rocks for stuff like DC and HK and all that. top down arcade shooters, and old school arcade games rock for it too. and metal slug type games, and streets of rage style games. fightsticks actually are awesome for so many more games than fighters. but hades, isnt one lol
I mean those games were Made for arcade machines to begin with
yall
Hey bois i have a question with this boon
poseidon giving me unshakeable mettle and tidal dahs
Oh, crap i cant send screen
i cant chooseee
yes? the question was why use a fightstick for anything other than fighting games. the answer is, all those games that are made for it too lmao
eh, yes, first part, no second part. megaman deadcells and hollowknight werent made for it either and theyre awesome on it.
I mean those are side scrollers
I definitely could not play Dead Cells on a fight stick, Hades might be easier
U think there might be a fix for the controls on console or nah
What's wrong with them?
I thought there was something wrong with the hades console version with its controls
Not that I know of, I'm like 70 hours in, feels fine
Ok so it was something else lol
so? your first question is why use a fightstick on ANYTHING other than fighters. My reply is, but there are all these games that work great? Your reply, yeah but those were made for arcade sticks. Okay, here are these ones that werent, your reply, well those are side scrollers. Lmao, at what point do you get a satasfactory answer? or just disagree for the sake of disagree?
The only issue I know if is certain achievements weren't unlocking but that's fixed with a reset
It was a joke You know
Fightstick, fighting games
So the achievements are working now or still need to use reset to get it working
Get it?
It was only a minor issue for very few people, I don't think they've been patched yet or anything, I haven't had any issues unlocking them
oof bruh, you seem like a reeeal fun guy lol.
Ok so it is a little wonky but still good
What does ||Hades' Call|| do?
one room
you become invisible, faster and do more damage
Boosts your damage while the call is active.
i had a perfect build and died to theseus 😭😭 this game is hard sometimes
i had 1k coins too
For example, how will I get this boon in elizium. And I will die 3 times in the presence of Hades, I will get this bonus, right?
And does he stack when I have 3 resurrections?
It doesn't stack sadly
Oh, okey.. But still works in room with hades if i get this boon in for example in tartar or elizium, right?
Yep, as long as you die in that chamber you get a damage buff in that chamber
Thank you very much.

just beat alecto with 4 poseidon boons bc poseidon rlly likes his nephew this run
And just out of curiosity, can you use it against You-Know-Who?
Why does bronze skin do half as much as different league??
What’s the big difference
laughs in witches
Still, that’s not a good enough reason for it to be half as effective
im at the bome hydra and the only 1 out of 6 boons ive gotten that isnt poseidon was from the shop
Isn’t that like… very normal? You’re saying you have 6 non-Poseidon boons, and one of them was bought from the shop? Or am I misunderstanding?
no
i have 5 poseidon ones
and ONE aphrodite
XD
I just got a second chaos gate in Tartarus even though I didn’t buy a light of Ixion
Wtf? Isn’t that not supposed to happen
my rng is insane
I’m actually so confused
eye of lamia activates like every enemy rn
Can get c2 and c12 chaos yeah
Oh that’s actually exactly what happened haha
I did not know that could happen
surprised that the bot allows that
I live.
What heat are you playing at
I have the dumbest random build rn but its kinda fast at the same time
Hey guys, i have a question: how do you complete the Zeus favor? Ive tried reading the wiki they dont seem to have a lot of detail on how to get it. This is the last bond i need after the confusing dusa and Aphrodite bond.
Somebody on a reddit thread said it’s better to ask in here so
It's just a lot of talking I think
I'm currently in chaos's realm and he/shes offering me a boon that reduces my health by 5 everytime I do an attack for the next 3 rooms is it even possible to survive that?
Dont get hit
That curse only affects your main attack
I have like 23 hp and I'm regenerating 2 or 3 hp per hit
You can use your special and not get hurt
So I have to spam dash attacks?
No you gotta use your special
Zeus requires talking to other gods, iirc you have to hear what they have to say about him
That will work I'll accept it
Well I’ve already talked a lot to zeus by now (around 10-15 times) so is it even more than that?
Ive hear hades’s regards about zeus and stuff so idk what I’m missing
And yes I’ve heard the other Olympian’s regards abut zeus
poseidon has cleared the other guy… now can he clesr styx
does styx have a pool of purging?
not in the big room but sometimes in the chambers
its confusing how his MEGA SHOP doesnt have them tbh
if you have heard from all of them then it might be a matter of rng, I think
getting thru his dialogue
A this skeletor dummy and its 3 face down something.
For the first one I have to collect 8 skulls.
I have to do something worth 8 skulls, can I do something for 3, and then something for 5, for example?
is there a specific aspect of the fight that you have trouble with?
monument?
otherwise, don't get hit
and good luck.
this is the second time ife came here
Take the fight slowly, there's no rush
No. Has to be 8 Heat.
Stay back and figure out the moves
skelly statue?
The room where you choose your weapon
play it slow, learn his move set, if you can reliably dodge the big swipe, it's easier.
and go as far as you can.
since this is your second time there, I would just say don't celebrate too early.
Empty dash gives you i-frames, Dash-Strikes don't. Focus on learning the timing to i-frame his spin attacks.
LMAO
Maybe i should have brought dd instead
yeah those are skelly statue
Fight should be a lot easier once you have that down.
Dash strikes give you 0 i-frames? Or just less i-frames?
Guys, is there a way to perhaps defeat him woty 36 health
yes. don't get hit xD
Don't get hit
Yeah if you don’t get hit
lmao i love this channel
I have fists 😭
Well don't get hit
Your Dash gives you invulnerability. If you press attack or anything mid-dash, it cancels your invulnerability.
Simply do enough damage to deplete his health to 0 before he does the same to you
I have fists
So, a Dash into a delayed Dash-Attack would have invulnerability until you press Attack.
Punch punch punch
But then divine dash gives that invulnerability back?
No.
Guys. Is there a way to beat him after youre dead
don't bring fists to a spear fight
Not that hard smh
Go back up to the surface and slap him exactly 7 times
Divine Dash doesn't give you invulnerability at all beyond what you normally have.
Exactly what does it do then
Deflects
I swear DD’s shield aura lasts an extra like 0.2 seconds
how far did you get?
Deflected attacks can't harm you. But if an attack connects with your hurtbox on the same frame it connects with your deflect box, you get hit and the attack isn't deflected.
That's basically a win
i had huge catch and got to final bos
i mean how close are you to defeating him
Divine Dash creates an area around you that deflects attacks, pretty much.
And does a little bit of damage.
Any games like hades but less violent and not fast paced
2nd phase
Going Under?
abouttt 75%
In what way would they be like Hades then?
What? Where?
i heard gungeon is good but thats a little fast
i think they mean roguelikes
on Steam, there is a free Demo
Raid: Shadow Legends
Turbo Mode go brrrr
Yeah but good luck finding a non-violent, slow-paced roguelike
Tried it. I think its better than hades
is there a list somewhere which features what give? I mean the package of benefits in heat
anyway yall which one do i get
Too fast
kekw
it's pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat
No seriously like I’m pretty sure there isn’t a single slow-paced non-violent rogue-like in existence
i think im getting legacy and persuasion tbh
Thanks, guys, love you ❤️
the original rogue is turn based so it's slow paced. im sure there is a turn based cutesy roguelike somewhere in history
Crypt of the Necrodancer?
every little things help. better boons = better life.
If UnholyPancake doesn't know about it, it doesn't exist.
I guess it’s possible. But at that point it’s not really like Hades is it
Actually true
yeah i don't like SD starting out tbh
it carries my run in asphodel
just don't step on them
thanks hypnos
youre welcome
FoxHope is right.
I stopped stepping on magma and immediately got better results.
Even in real life.
its not THAT easy to dodge
life is pain, princess. anyone saying otherwise is selling something.
Help im starting to simp for megaira are all the bosses here in this game so... Uhm well designed?(only fought her so far)
xd
ooh i got codex index
wait until you meet her sisters.
I mean I’m just literally unable to imagine a game that is like Hades, but not fast paced or violent. That’s like asking for a game that’s like Minecraft, but without any mining and you can’t craft. Or a game that’s like Celeste but doesn’t require fast button inputs and doesn’t have any platforming. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, just that I can’t even imagine what it could conceivably look like
man after that run i feel so demotivated 😭
Alecto is way cuter than Meg.
i guess ill farm darkness again
Deadcells has a bit slower Gameplay, it's also a hardcore game but there's no dialog
(it's still violent tho lol)
well i said going under, it's not "not fast paced," but at least a bit slower.
also does fated persuasion reset with each boon
you have 1 for the entire run
