#

Aye got my first sub 15

reef zodiac
#

Forced to sell my epic Hunter’s Mark noooo

wanton quail
#

Oof big sad

reef zodiac
#

It’s alright I’m still gonna win

#

I’m out of Elysium, the rest is just a victory lap

elder brook
#

Ares or Zeus

candid obsidian
#

Ares is my least favorite and Zeus is my second favorite

elder brook
#

I have to choose between a boon and ugh
I can't decide

candid obsidian
#

What weapon are you running?

elder brook
#

Spear

#

I'll do Zeus
I already have a boon from Ares

reef zodiac
elder brook
#

Ugh
Which sister will I get this time

#

MEG

reef zodiac
#

Oh my god I got 32 with Nemesis first try

#

That’s two first-try 32s in a row

#

I think I’m getting a lot better at this game

#

I also didn’t end up getting almost anything I was looking for, except Double Edge (which I guess is insanely strong so I can’t complain)

#

But no Heart Rend, no Rush Delivery, had to sell my Hunter’s Mark

#

No extra DDs from Athena

lone kernel
#

That’s the beauty of hades

unkempt vale
#

eehhm

#

Guys

#

I took some money.

#

And I didn't know it was from ||Charon||

#

and he ported me.

#

Am I screwed? xD

lone kernel
#

Probably

#

mint coral
#

"Nyx, what would happen if someone tried to fight charon?"

rough orchid
#

i regret underestimating cast

#

i just did my fastest final boss clear with demeter artemis

unkempt vale
#

damn that was rough

#

I went in with only 1 boon and 1 upgrade of that boon. Got slapped hard xD

#

full health 3 cheat deaths

#

not even 75%

main anchor
#

I just bought Orpheu’s Lament for the music stand, however, I cannot select it to play. Is this a bug?

brisk trail
#

I always get so close to beating Hades, like get him down to 5% and then die. I don't know what I'm missing. Is this that my mirror isn't maxed out or is it my build? I'm not really sure. Any help is appreciated.

modern garnet
#

If you're almost there then you're almost there

#

Sounds like you're doing the right thing already

brisk trail
#

I've beaten him once. I just can't do it again.

leaden geyser
fossil elm
#

Acorn is a big help

brisk trail
fossil elm
#

And that’s not enough?

leaden geyser
#

avoid getting in the middle of the jars while he's swinging

fossil elm
#

Your builds might just not be cutting it then

brisk trail
#

No. I get him really low and then just can't get that last 5-10%

main anchor
fossil elm
#

Do you build around your

#

Err

#

What’s it called

#

It’s been a while lol

#

The thing with the meter

brisk trail
#

I'm using Dio attack, Artemis Special for their duo boon. Dio/Artemis call. Demeter Cast, Athena Dash, then I throw in Aphro where I can. I build around getting Splitting Headache.

fossil elm
#

You could try an invincible call

brisk trail
#

On Demeter Malphon btw

fossil elm
#

Like ares

#

Athena call is also ridiculous

#

Poseidon

brisk trail
#

What's Athena Call?

fossil elm
#

A few seconds of invincibility

leaden geyser
#

you become invincible for the duration

main anchor
#

That’s my fav call

leaden geyser
#

also you deflect everything that hits you

fossil elm
#

Yeah

brisk trail
#

Oh so like her trial

fossil elm
#

I guess but you can do anything

#

Just gives you a few seconds to spam whatever you want

brisk trail
#

I mainly go for Dio call for the insane dps you get with Splitting Headache.

fossil elm
#

But in general the more you get used to what things are good the more consistently you’ll clear

#

Dio call is good for sure

brisk trail
#

If you hit a charged Special on a 5 stack hangover I do 1-2k damage easy

fossil elm
#

What weapon do you tend to use

brisk trail
#

Demeter Malphon

#

Or Chiron Coronacht

fossil elm
#

I haven’t played in a while and am just dropping in to help people

#

If you could kindly remind me what they do lol

#

The names are lost to me

brisk trail
#

They charge special on Malphon after 12 hits

fossil elm
#

Oh ok

brisk trail
#

Does way more damage

fossil elm
#

And Chiron is seeking arrows?

brisk trail
#

Yes

fossil elm
#

Okay

brisk trail
#

I think I just need to rethink my build

fossil elm
#

For Chiron are you forcing aph attack Artemis special?

#

With keepsakes?

#

That’s generally the strongest build

brisk trail
#

Usually Aphro Attack Dio special

fossil elm
#

Oh okay

#

I see the problem already

#

Iirc dio special overwrites his call damage

#

So if you use dio call don’t use dio anything else

brisk trail
#

Oh that's stupid

#

All this time I've been fully charging my Dio calls

#

Oh that hurrs

fossil elm
#

On Chiron best to force Artemis special usually

brisk trail
#

Hurts

fossil elm
#

I’m pretty sure that’s how it works

brisk trail
#

I'm mainly focusing on Malphon

fossil elm
#

Pay attention to the damage ticks to confirm

brisk trail
#

Ah okay

main anchor
#

If you want a really cheap way to win, Zeus’s and Artemis’s duo cast

fossil elm
#

For malphon I almost always go for either Zeus legendary or merciless end

brisk trail
#

Ares Athena Duo boon, right?

fossil elm
#

Yep

#

Ares attack Athena special and dash

#

It’s a little finnicky to set up but powerful

brisk trail
#

What does it do again? I'm still fairly new to the game so...

fossil elm
#

So doom usually takes time to do its damage and reapplying it during that period doesn’t do anything

#

Merciless end makes it so reflecting an enemy makes doom immediately drop its damage

#

So you attack to apply doom, dash to trigger it, repeat

#

Basically it makes dash attacks do crazy damage

brisk trail
#

Yeah I'd guess

#

So should I go Ares attack Athena Special?

fossil elm
#

Ya and you also need Athena dash

#

Zeus is easier to build

#

You go Zeus atrack

brisk trail
#

So bring Ares keepsake into Tartarus and then bring Athena into Asphodel and Elysium?

fossil elm
#

Then go for either Zeus legendary or Poseidon dash + duo boon

#

Or both

#

I usually start with Athena

#

Since you need two of her boons (and more are good)

brisk trail
#

Ah fair that works

rough orchid
#

artemis is not giving me true shot 😭😭

signal aspen
#

You usually start ares keepsake for ME

brisk trail
#

Are all the bosses counted as Armored foes or Jo?

#

No*

signal aspen
#

They don't have armor so no

brisk trail
#

Damn

#

+900% damage to Armored foes anyways for the ones hades summons

fossil elm
brisk trail
#

Those crystals that make him impervious I hate

raw herald
#

Poms on doom are good to get early

brisk trail
#

I'll finish this run and then try an Ares/Athena run tomorrow

Emmm.. Guys.. how i can find Night thread in Charon well?

mint coral
#

Do you have companions unlocked?

spice flame
#

Not yet, i working on it

#

Okey, so i need companion

#

Understood

mint coral
#

Night thread recovers an use of it so yup

spice flame
#

Thanks, fella

brisk trail
#

How much Nectar to make Megaera actually like me?

reef zodiac
#

Smoldering air is so absurdly strong

#

So is Touch of Styx Dark

#

Especially when you have LC4

brisk trail
#

Im trying to max out my Meg hearts and I'm just not getting anywhere

rough orchid
#

just did my first clear with a bow!

brisk trail
#

Also how do I get Orpheus to sing

rough orchid
#

nd talk to them a lot

#

thats how i did it

Ah okay

Climbing up!

#

I’m on a roll dude wow

#

Rama 36, followed by Zeus 32, followed by Nemesis 32, followed by Rama 38

#

Megara is be like... Tsundere, right? He likes us.. I guees xD

Just saw thanatos crit

#

Nice

#

are you thinking of Thanatos? he's closer to tsundere

lone kernel

#

is artemis's boon that give %15 crit for melee for sword for example,are they stacked when you upgrade them ?

lone kernel
reef zodiac
reef zodiac
#

Past 40 I’ll increase heat one at a time

lone kernel
#

and then 4% on special

#

only

dusty anvil
#

no let's say you picked %15 crit for your melee,then you improve them to level 2.is it get another %15 crit which makes it %30 ?

lone kernel
#

oh, if you pom it. no

#

artemis does say 20% attack buff and 15% crit

#

pom makes that 25% with 15% crit

reef zodiac
#

There are no hidden benefits. If the boon still says 15% chit chance then it still has a 15% crit chance

lone kernel
#

(i made up the numbers to illustrate the example)

#

so leveling it up will add more damage, but to add critical chance that requires boons

reef zodiac
lone kernel
#

whatever dude i was explaining the concept

reef zodiac
#

I know I’m kidding

lone kernel
#

but if you get deadly reversal, then when its active, thatll be 35% crit chance

#

lol that would be so OP tho

#

level 14 attack with 50% crit chance

reef zodiac
#

I have 255 health entering Asphodel lol

reef zodiac
#

Wow I am so much better than I was two weeks ago even though I’ve only played like 10 hours in that time

#

Just did Arthur 32 heat

#

Another run carried by Smoldering Air

#

3rd in a row

#

Hey guys, quick question. Regarding the relationships between characters..after I give them their first ambrosia or whatever it’s called (it’s like their 6th heart,) is that all they take up until their hearts are all filled or does it go back to Nectar?

opaque heron
limber mist
#

Ok, just wanted to make sure so I don’t waste it lol. Thanks for the help!@opaque heron

lone kernel
#

I kinda want to get two stuffed cat heads so my cat can be Cerberus for Halloween

#

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

whole ridge
#

Sisyphus is being a pain. I still need literally just one more piece of dialogue from him in order to do his favor.

#

I have every other run oriented character bond already, just need his. The Gods as well, but theirs isn't really an issue. After that it's just a matter of maxing the things.

#

Well, I need all the Ambrosia for each of them as well.

#

I also am stuck waiting for Hypnos's favor, which if I recall is directly tied to Thanatos, so more RNG

#

Yay...

weary jackal
#

Imagine gifting Hypnos

mint coral
#

imagine not doing it

whole ridge
#

I have all the Nectar handed out ant taken care of by now, I just need the Ambrosia, which is for Hypnos, Sisyphus, and the Olympians, and that's pretty much it on who I gotta give the stuff to.

#

Why does he seem to show up so rarely? XD I encounter Patroclus and Eurydice like, 5x more often than him

mint coral
#

ofc the moment i get offered artemis legendary, i also get mirage shot

spice flame
#

emm... where is be somewhere a list about renovation?
I also mean the hidden ones, which are unblocked by decorations.

#

Oh, ok, nvm i have wiki

umbral whale
#

just got ||redacted|| to come to the house of hades. cant wait to unlock the epilogue

#

Spoilers are fine in this chat, you can say Persephone

umbral whale
#

i assumed since there was a story discussion i shouldnt put it here lol

#

The Gift Of Song in just one go? interacting with it 210 times in a row

#

just so i dont waste the next 10 minutes doing this xD

#

im also really sad

#

that last clear was my first time using Hestia's rail and i was doing so well, completely prepped to try fighting Hades with it and.... yeah.

#

well my first serious run with hestia

#

Also HOLY CRAP DARREN VOICED ZAG that blew my mind! lol

rapid forum
#

and also skelly

umbral whale
#

yeah that made me laugh lol

#

Ashley at the end singing tho ❤️ her voice is so amazing every time i hear it

#

I find Hypnos is voiced by Greg a lot more mindblowing tho dusa

oh my god please tell me this lyre thing is almost done T.T i wanna start streaming soon

just an idea for an emote? a Slavug. They are adorable

Hey guys, what’s the difference between Fated Persuasion and Fated Authority? The seem essentially the same?

mint coral

One is after the chamber. One is before the chamber

@mint coral ah, ok. Appreciate the clarification guys!

umbral whale

HOLY HADES

#

max aphrodite call just chunked the hydra at 1/4th health o.o

mint coral
#

just noticed sea storm doesnt proc in the head crushers from aspho, huh

heady cypress
#

Who wouldve thought that a stadium full of ppl yelling zagreus would make me so happy

#

But I feel like I didn't deserve to beat the boss I have 126/315 hp and a charge of my reviving left lol

fiery bramble
#

Does the %dmg increase for attack/special boons differ for each weapon?

heady cypress
#

I saw a spoiler before buying the game so I know that ||Hades is the last boss|| any tips so I don't die right away? I don't want to "waste" the run

mint coral
#

keep your distance so you can react to whatever he does

#

also you dont waste your runs

chrome wharf
#

dash perpendicular to his line of sight

mint coral
#

you always gain extra darkness dusa

heady cypress
#

When should I attack then? I'm using the gloves/gauntlets

chrome wharf
#

if he hits you with a skull, avoid him because you take more damage. It's like your bloodstone attack.

heady cypress
heady cypress
#

Do I see an effect or sumn

chrome wharf
#

basically look for an opening in between his attacks. Stay behind him

mint coral
#

a skull pop ups out of you when the effect ends

chrome wharf
#

yeah you'll see a greenish border. It wears off when the skull falls out of you

mint coral
#

imagine dad is a giant zag

chrome wharf
#

ofc try to not get hit in the first place

heady cypress
umbral whale
heady cypress
chrome wharf
heady cypress
#

My strategy is usually to attack constantly and just dodge the attacks which would Hit me

mint coral
#

dad is a spear main dusa

heady cypress
#

Oh no

#

I hate him already

#

I don't like ranged fights

umbral whale
#

you shouldnt spam attacks with hades. get a few hits in but watch his animations cuz itll tell you what kind of attack hes doing and which direction you need to dodge

tall quiver
#

Got my first bottle of ambrosia, anything in particular I should use it for or?

heady cypress
umbral whale
#

imo.. titan blood with the broker is the best use for ambrosia in the early game

chrome wharf
#

Or the 500 darkness deal

heady cypress
mint coral
#

outside of trader

umbral whale
#

so have i but you also shouldnt focus on speed running until youve actually beaten the game and can upgrade your weapons

#

take your time

heady cypress
mint coral
#

thats with nectar

#

ambrosia is for later

umbral whale
#

^

chrome wharf
#

that's nectar

tall quiver
#

Okay so basically use it at the trader until I can use it on people?

heady cypress
mint coral
#

a few trades are nice but still save ambrosia

#

you use quite a lot still

tall quiver
#

Also because I got all the way to Hades last run

#

Is his fight only the two phases?

mint coral
#

yup

tall quiver
#

I lost on the second phase 😭

umbral whale
#

i sell most of my ambrosia cuz the gamee WONT GIVE ME NECTAR

mint coral
#

you can make it have a 3rd phase tho

chrome wharf
#

When he spinny laser, if you're up against him, they don't hurt you

tall quiver
#

I wasnt expecting the spinny laser and that's what killed me 😅

umbral whale
#

i keep having to buy it with keys

mint coral
#

if you got all the mirror skills/weapons thats their only use tbf

tall quiver
#

I'm assuming the ambrosia is the same as the titan blood in the sense you can only get it once per weapon?

mint coral
#

yup

tall quiver
#

Thank you for the assistance!

chrome wharf
#

once per weapon until after your first clear, then you can get more

heady cypress
chrome wharf
#

he has a spinning laser attack. If you're standing right next to him, the lasers don't hit you

chrome wharf
rapid forum
#

Me: let's do a priv status run with demeter
second god: Arty
Me: well PP is nice
third god: Zeus
Me: eh, I might need some jolted
fourth god: Poseidon
Me:.....
do you hate me so much game?

chrome wharf
#

Oh and you can tell when the laser attack is coming. It's after he spins his spear vertically around and around

#

rupture :)

#

or go cold fusion

rapid forum
#

well yea

#

I managed to get them

#

if I didn't get them by asphodel, my dps would go crawling on the floor tho

heady cypress
chrome wharf
#

uhhh.....maybe??? dusa

heady cypress

#

Zeus/Demeter duo boon. with regards to Fluffy Bun's Priv Status attempts

rapid forum

I also managed to get cold fusion

#

....in styx

mint coral
#

fun't

rapid forum
#

it was a messy run

#

but a fun one

mint coral
#

i was trying to do zeus shield without zeus/ares for once and used artemis
somehow it also turned into hunting blades build

praise be RNG for the eternal randomness

🥳🥳woot! Credits roll AND on Heat 16! 🥳🥳

stoic flame
#

nice

#

so people do skip heats

#

i was the only dumbass going 1 heat at a time

#

with every weapon

mint coral
#

i've seen more people going 1 heat that skipping tbh

#

at least here

stoic flame
#

its pretty tedious

heady cypress
#

What's heat

stoic flame
#

its spoilers

mint coral
#

post first clear thing

heady cypress
#

Alright

obsidian wind
#

@vale drift I love the game, and I send you a PM. Please see it.

heady cypress
#

Ig it's smth where you can use the titan blood to upgrade ur weapons

mint coral
#

lmao a trap just critted a satir for 1200 damage

#

poor thing

heady cypress
mint coral
#

heat is related to get more titan blood but you can use it before that

limber mist
#

God this story is FkN amazing

mint coral
#

if you have all weapons, check your equiped weapon before starting a run

heady cypress
#

Is it something like the boss cells in deadcells?

mint coral
#

i havent played dead cells so

heady cypress
heady cypress
mint coral
#

heat is similar to that then
you increase the difficulty and can get titan blood, diamonds, ambrosia again with a weapon you escaped

heady cypress
#

It doesn't unlock more recourses but it increases the loot iirc and you can enter certain areas which were locked before

#

*in deadcells

#

I have a final question before continuing my run, can you dash twice towards hades to avoid his thrust and spinning slash things?

mint coral
#

yup

heady cypress
#

The slash has a huge range but it should be doable since he moves towards you too right?

mint coral
#

i find it easier than trying to dash away from it

heady cypress
#

Good cuz I have a bad habit of always dodging in

mint coral
#

rip no ares legendary
half baked hunting blades

heady cypress
#

Should I clear every area before hades or is that to risky?

#

There are like 3 doors left

modern garnet
#

will it increase your chances of beating the boss?

heady cypress
#

Idk tbh

mint coral
#

what is left in the other 3 tunnels?

tulip ridge
#

If it’s a god you need for a duo, then yeah

#

Otherwise it’s not really worth the risk

heady cypress
#

There's is one with coins, one with an power-up(it has a skull so it scares me) and there's a Dionysos boon

tulip ridge
#

Skull rooms are easier

heady cypress
#

If I get enough coins I could buy another upgrade/boon

tulip ridge
#

Cause it’s a boss instead of a big room with ads

#

So less damage sources

mint coral
#

"easier" after you know what they do
wont risk it for the first time imo

tulip ridge
#

True

heady cypress
mint coral
#
  • tiny vermin spawn is not fun after you get the sack
tulip ridge
#

tiny vermin is cakewalk if you have a good dash

heady cypress
mint coral
#

i would just go to dad and see how it goes tbh

heady cypress
tulip ridge
#

That was elysium, bosses are different in styx

#

Yeah, just go to dad

#

Once you learn the styx bosses, you’ll find them easier than normal styx end rooms

heady cypress
tulip ridge
#

But not for your first time

#

318 is plenty

mint coral
#

il say you will end with less

tulip ridge
#

cries in guan yu

mint coral
heady cypress
#

I'll go in then wish me luck and pray that I won't panic and forget everything about the fight I could squeeze into my brain within the last 30 minutes by watching yt guides

tulip ridge
#

Good luck!

heady cypress
#

thanks

tulip ridge
#

Remember not to forget about the skull mines

mint coral
#

send dad to his house

heady cypress
#

Btw when is the best time to use athenes skill?

#

The one that shields you

tulip ridge
#

Second phase

#

Lasers

heady cypress
heady cypress
mint coral
#

yeah

#

either hug him or behind pillars

tulip ridge
#

Yeah, but they’re still a pain

heady cypress
#

Or should I use it to dash into him when I'm too far away

tulip ridge
#

^^^

heady cypress
#

I hope I don't end up using all 4 charges by accident

tulip ridge
#

Skull mines only have ~350 hp, so they aren’t hard to get rid of

mint coral
#

also enjoy the ost, is nice

heady cypress
#

That'd reduce my options by a lot

heady cypress
#

Hope it doesn't distract me too much

#

The door is right there._.

mint coral
#

oh yeah is this your first time reaching dad?

heady cypress
#

Yes

#

Nervous as hell

mint coral
#

have fun next run dusa

tulip ridge
#

Have fun with it, the first time has a bunch of good dialogue

heady cypress
#

Oh no

heady cypress
mint coral
#

the dialogue of zag and dad in the surface is one my favourites

#

"this fish taunts me"

limber mist
#

How do I get keepsakes from Persephone and Hades?

tulip ridge
#

Even better when you start bringing the hidden aspects

mint coral
#

roll credits, then talk with dad for a while until his lock goes away, then nectar

#

mom should be nectar as soon as you can

limber mist
#

Ok so give nectar to mom and none to hades?@mint coral

mint coral
#

1 nectar to each

limber mist
#

Ok let me try

mint coral
#

but i think if you havent gifted nectar to dad yet you need to gift another

limber mist
#

I’m lmao at Skelly heat 16 statue just unveiled 😂

mint coral
#

have fun for the next one

limber mist
#

Yea, looks like I’ll have to give hades another

heady cypress
#

Oh hell nah

#

Didn't even reach the 2nd phase

mint coral
#

rip

#

grab some warm clothes for your next run

heady cypress
#

Is it cheating to use the godmode setting I found when checking out everything and practice him on another safefile?

mint coral
#

nothing wrong with using god mode

heady cypress
#

What exactly is it doing

mint coral
#

you dont get locked out of anything

#

it gives you 20% damage resistance and it goes up by 2% each death

#

caps at 80%

vast nacelle
#

Thats it???

heady cypress
#

So I can just farm deaths for a bit and use it as a way too reach him under good conditions?

mint coral
#

yup

#

i used it even after credits bc hidden spear is bad at low lvl dusa

heady cypress
#

I'd avoid upgrading my attacks then so the fight takes longer and I can actually practice him instead of yeeting him

vast nacelle
#

I wouldnt purposefully die though, as you still get resources from playing without clearing

#

And youre dmg res goes up still

heady cypress
#

I don't want to get recourses

#

The safefile will only exist to practice dodging him

#

And finding gaps to attack him

vast nacelle
#

Oh, but why not do this on your main

heady cypress
#

I feel like it's cheating

vast nacelle
#

Oh ok

mint coral
#

you can create a practice save on pc iirc

heady cypress
#

So I'll only use it for practicing

heady cypress
#

Wait

vast nacelle
#

But i can pretty much guarantee that you will beat hades on “accident” while practicing on your alt save

heady cypress
#

I can use the cloud to save the game and safestate it

heady cypress
#

It wouldn't really feel like a win so I'd do it again

vast nacelle
mint coral
#

you can quit out if you beat him by accident

vast nacelle
#

Just saying that practicing on your main might make it feel better if you get lucky

vast nacelle
vast nacelle
#

That youd rather happen on your main acc than an alt

heady cypress
vast nacelle
mint coral
#

sometimes you want the feeling of beating it legit dusa

heady cypress
#

Watched a ytber's spoiler free review of the game before buying it he said it took him 12 trys to beat the game

#

Im at 12 too now I feel like I've lost

vast nacelle
#

No wtf

#

12 trys???

heady cypress
#

You're wrong

vast nacelle
#

It took me like over 50

mint coral
#

took me 47th attempts to beat dad the first time

#

12 is surprisingly low

Maybe

#

Idrk

heady cypress
#

Nah not really

vast nacelle
#

Ok then hades is def my first game in its genre

I think its for the final step when increasing bonds

he is the only one im missing the bond lol

vast nacelle
#

Oh gotcha

#

Im focusing on achilles and meg

#

Ofc i got all the keepsakes first tho

heady cypress
#

Do I have to throw multiple bloodstones at daddy to get the max dmg bonus?

heady cypress
#

Or does it not stack

vast nacelle
#

What are bloodstones

gentle mason

Yeah it probably wouldve worked if i payed more attention to dialogue and lore lol

heady cypress
#

Didn't know that you can get a 3rd stack for your reviving thing and spent everything on the boiling blood thing it's maxed now but I have 10 darkness instead of 170/1000 for the next upgrade

Its likely that you will die more than three times before reaching hades

Didn't die once last run lol

Got lucky and upgraded my health to 390

modern garnet
#

Depends what you mean by early game I guess

mint coral
#

stubborn is more if you die a lot to normal chambers imo

vast nacelle
#

Cuz you wanna focus on progression rather than thinking abt the final fight

#

And clearing

heady cypress
#

Is the 150gem upgrade for the infernal chests worth it?

modern garnet
#

If bosses are the ones killing you, you're happier with regular defiances

gentle mason
vast nacelle
#

Wait

mint coral
#

yeah you can at any time

vast nacelle
#

What do you mean by fully unlock?

heady cypress
#

Btw is dusas or cerberus gift better?

My favs are trippy shot with hera or beo and zeus/dio and merciful end

Just love those crazy chunks and insane dps

I still have trouble with his 2nd phase for some reason

vast nacelle

Yeah ||sly|| kinda does suck tho all jokes aside

oh i also love things like dio cast beo or passion/flood flare beo
im just trying the dem/poseidon duo for fun with achilles

#

big damage

#

How much nectar do I need to give skelly before getting his keepsake

vast nacelle

Althought wierdly my first clear was

You can check the nectar count of people by looking up the codex

artemis what is your problem, i just want your attack :c

#

need that mirage shot

heady cypress

Is that the one that let's you target a certain enemy for more crits?

#

I feel like that one is awesome for the 3rd boss

modern garnet
#

Mirage shot shoots a second cast

chrome wharf
heady cypress
mint coral
#

mirage shot makes your cast throw 2 cast and the 2nd one has reduced damage

heady cypress
#

Expected him to be a random guy like sisyphos

modern garnet
#

Reduced damage (except on beo)

heady cypress
#

Beo?

#

Is that the gun?

mint coral
#

hera with dio cast too right?

modern garnet
#

I dunno about hera

#

I'm talking about secret shield

heady cypress
#

I have 8 keys rn should I get the last weapon or should I buy 2 more keys with 20 gems to unlock new talents for 10 keys

mint coral
#

il say weapon to unlock aspects

chrome wharf
#

Charon's a big deal, even Hades respects him

heady cypress
#

Is that the titan blood thing

mint coral
#

yup

#

they are variations to the weapons

heady cypress
gentle mason
heady cypress
#

Can I use my 2 titanbloods to upgrade my gauntlets then?

mint coral
#

yup

heady cypress
#

Sounds better than a talent I most likely can't even afford

mint coral
#

if you havent killed meg with other weapons i suggest doing it to get more titan blood too

heady cypress
#

I didn't kill her with a lot of weapons lol

#

The spear was my first weapon iirc

#

Sword 2nd and the gauntlets were the last weapon

#

Btw where can I use the titan blood?

gentle mason
heady cypress
#

Shouldn't be a problem

Killed skelly like 5 times with the bow to learn the timing for the op shots

Which one do I even take?

Charged shot

Explosive and play it like a yo-yo dusa

explosive return is great if you have a boon that scales base attack

same goes to charged shot

I’m definitely leaning towards explosive but I have Zeus special

what do you have on attack?

Lol alright I’ll go with Charged Shot

mint coral

That was out of nowhere lmao

I'd say using a weapon you don't really know on high heat is not the way to go dusa

If it was low heat I’d go with Explosive return because it’s fun

the wiki says hypnos' favor cant be done until after the credits but im not sure thats correct, im pretty sure i did it before the ending was in the game lol. maybe it was changed

stoic flame
#

i think hypnos is the only favour i havent done yet

#

yes

#

and aphrodite

#

because dusa bond doesnt exist

mint coral
#

Im still missing hermes bond bc trigger finger press interact before i remember using ambrosia

i gave him one but i keep forgetting to give him the second one

or did i give it to him?

#

Question guys, how in the world do I get the “loyalty card” from charon fight? I have yet to see any bag behind him. Does something specific spawn this?

stoic flame
#

they always spawn in mid shop iirc

#

not always i mean like only in mid shop

limber mist
#

Guess rng is not on my side for this one lol

mint coral
#

20% of seeing the bag in the mid shops

hmm ambrosia delight vs refreshing nectar?

limber mist
#

@mint coral @stoic flame appreciate it guys!

mint coral
stoic flame
#

i feel like the pom is always the better choice

#

i mostly take the pom

pallid canyon
#

delight is rarity

mint coral
#

Better chaos/hermes is nice too

#

Unless you got hermes early ig

stoic flame
#

hmm

pallid canyon
#

have common hermes attack and walking already, so maybe delight

#

usually go nectar but rusty and haven't used this sword much

stoic flame
#

ambrosia delight is so rng tho

mint coral
#

Any duo/legendary/specific boon you are aiming for?

stoic flame
#

it barely hits the boons you want

#

ever

heady cypress
#

My death was stupid._.

pallid canyon
#

just got curse of nausea

stoic flame
#

nice

heady cypress
#

Btw is the dps of the gun low? Or did I just get bad boons

mint coral
#

What did you use on it?

heady cypress
#

Uh

#

Yes

#

?

#

Some normal attack dmg paired with freeze

#

And ricochet

mint coral
#

% boons on the main attack is bad bc it has way too low base damage

#

Like 10 x shot

pallid canyon
#

it upped haste and drunken flourish so 1/2 not bad

mint coral
#

Zeus attack is like its best option

heady cypress
#

The bulls hit boxes are dumb (I need someone so I can complain, who wants the pic?)

stoic flame
#

you need to keep specialing i thin

#

it makes it better

even without eris

What do you guys think Hades is accepting and denying in the house sometimes?

😎

#

i think its petitions

to get justice

but most of them are just lame lmao

so he says no

spare tiger
#

You ever notice that he accepts a lot more as the story progresses?

stoic flame
#

huh

neat little detail

#

never noticed tho

He still doesn't accept too often but he seems to lighten up once the queen returns

Fishing rod is a plus always

spare tiger

It's only 1 diamond

I'll get it ig

spare tiger

Keep an eye out for glowing dots in the water during your runs

#

And for a ding

whole ridge
#

Yeah, a ding like a bell will ring in rooms with fishing spots

#

And you will very quickly make up for the cost of the rod

pallid canyon

deffo get rod

whole ridge
#

Especially if ya get a fish in Greece

pallid canyon
#

best part of the game

whole ridge
#

But Hypnos why so bad

#

Favor wise

spare tiger
#

Definitely get all of the work orders

#

They'll make your life so much easier

Only work orders I don't have are the themes

Those are just ludicrous

And Sysiphus

But he's just because it's not available yet

Why not Sisyphus?

1 ambrosia>500 darkness?

I need one more piece of dialogue from him but he refuses to show up xD

spare tiger

Ambro for darkness or darkness for ambro?

If you get an ambro from that, take that deal

Ambro for darkness

Sooo should I do it?

I am needing a lot still. But I almost have Fated Authority capped

In early game i always just traded my ambro for titsn blood

gentle mason
#

500 darkness is a lot for you, I would.

spare tiger
#

You can regrind the darkness

whole ridge
#

Ye

spare tiger
#

Dark thirst plus reclearing bosses pays big in the end

whole ridge
#

Once ya get set up nice grinding Darkness isn't a big hassle but still takes time with just how much you need

spare tiger
#

Even if you can only rebeat Furies and Hydra, that's still 150 without dark thirst

heady cypress
#

There's a misunderstanding here

heady cypress
whole ridge
#

I need approximately 13k more Darkness to fill out the mirror

spare tiger
whole ridge
#

A lot

spare tiger
#

You can check the admin chambers to see how much through your run clears

whole ridge
#

All I need is the last couple ranks for Authority, and 3 ranks of Persuasion

spare tiger

The talents i use are max aside from Fated

gentle mason

Help this game is too addictive

whole ridge
#

A vast majority of that being in the Fated Authority/Persuasion

heady cypress

It's 7:11am in the morning and I didn't sleep yet

Persuasion alone costs 10k to max

Aside from the primo stuff my supplies are drained lmao

I need either 13,250 or 15,000 more Darkness to finish out the mirror, can't recall if I'm at 5 or 6 Fated Authority

heady cypress
#

The problem is that idk how to stop

stoic flame

i just stop when i start collapsing into myself

#

due to sleepyness

By turning the game off kek

So what are your favorite chibi heads in the keepsakes locker?

Also Cerberus

Is Hermes keepsake good?

yes

but you need to use it for the entire run

#

so that it gets good

heady cypress
#

1% dodgerate and speed after every single fight seems op

whole ridge
#

Need all Ambrosia for Sis, Hypnos, and all the Olympians

hearty sierra
#

Depends on your playstyle

spare tiger
#

Ehhh

stoic flame
#

i remember when i used to exclusively use plume

spare tiger
#

Haven't used it much

stoic flame
#

and nothing else

#

it was so good

spare tiger
#

Thanatos's butterfly is good with rail

stoic flame
#

because i used to play zag fists

heady cypress
stoic flame
#

a lot

heady cypress
#

Oh

whole ridge
heady cypress
#

Well

#

That's not good

hearty sierra
#

The keepsake benefits only apply for as long as you have it equipped

heady cypress
#

For sure

spare tiger
#

If you plan to run the stacking keepsakes like butterfly and plume

#

You don't let em go

stoic flame
#

but if you use zag fists, the dodge dash thing from the mirror and the plume

#

so much dodge

hearty sierra
stoic flame
#

you cant get hit

#

also get dodge boons from hermes

whole ridge
#

Yeah, I've been working on those to my best capability, but been more focused on maxing keepsakes through the Darkness runs

heady cypress
whole ridge
#

Some are pains to get tho even with the Mirror bit for Legendary/Duo boons

hearty sierra
#

For short periods of time, yes

#

Always 100% dodge? Not without modding

stoic flame
#

not always

#

but it is possible i think

#

to reach 100%

spare tiger
#

I can't for the life of me get the queen's plan in motion though

stoic flame
#

while dashing

heady cypress
#

Lets say you get 40% from the keepsake(at least at lvl 1 ig it'll go up to 1.5% or sumn at lvl 3)

whole ridge
#

Either way getting the Ambrosia isn't the issue

spare tiger
#

Do i need to get max bonds with every olympian?

stoic flame
#

💀

whole ridge
#

It's getting the favors xD

heady cypress
#

How much do you get by getting hermes boons

stoic flame
#

i get like 27% on an average

#

and 50 from the dash

whole ridge
#

Olympians I assume is just talk to them with their keepsake maxed and equipped tho

stoic flame
#

lets assume i get an epic boon from hermes

#

so 30 from that

whole ridge
#

So I just need Sis and Hypnos really

stoic flame
#

thats like 97%]

#

wait no

#

thats more

#

🥴

hearty sierra
#

Yeah, like I said - 100% dodge for short periods of time

stoic flame
#

yes

I need the sets for the weapons, some of the Gods, and the Leg/Duo boon ones.

Also beat Charon twice in a row

# ocean oyster Hey! I’m new to the game and was wondering how the in game gifting thing works

Here's a long answer to your short question:

nectar is your early-game relationship progression, Each run, you can give each of the characters you meet 1 nectar, in order to progress their relationship gauge and move on with the story.

The first nectar you give to every character, they will reciprocate and give you an item of their own; these items are called Keepsakes. "Keepsakes hold power," as I quote Zagreus. During a run, you can equip a keepsake in order to gain their special effect until you unequip them.

Every nectar you give after the first one only serves to progress story. (which is the main point of the game)

Ambrosia, the larger, whiskey-looking bottle, is for late-game relationship progression. After you max out a character's heart gauge with nectar , they usually have a task/quest before you can start giving them Ambrosia. Ambrosia serves as a way to finish the relationship, per se.

Nectar first, Ambrosia later

#

I typed this out before

stoic flame
