when you have the laser beam rail

#

is there ever a hammer that gives you special the 5x?

#

i know theres the 3x

gentle mason
#

Also, Gems and Obols from troves are as well

mint coral
lone kernel
#

Just triple

lunar orchid
#

damn that would be sixlk

rough orchid
#

why do ppl call aspect of arthur clunky lol

#

i cleared the game without an offensive call just using it and i didnt even get the build i wanted 😭

gentle mason
#

It is too slow for some people (I love it)

rough orchid
#

to the point where it can clear enemies at the same speed as faster weapons if not faster depending on build

mint coral
#

offensive calls arent needed so not like it matters dusa

rough orchid
#

esp if you get artemis attack

rough orchid
#

so finishing a run without it was a big achievement for me

gentle mason
#

I mean the literal attack animations are too slow for some people.

mint coral
#

yeah arthur is fun time for time but the combo is slow

gentle mason
#

Also, because Arthur is slow big chunky damage instead of rapid small damage Calls are actually worse on him that basically any other aspect.

mint coral
#

gotta say, playing without dark foresight sucks

gentle mason
mint coral
#

farming

#

im styx and i still dont have an attack lmao

#

all my damage comes from poseidon dash

rough orchid
mint coral
#

rip no rush delivery

#

at least exclusive access got me greatest reflex

rough orchid
#

but yeah i agree

rough orchid
lunar orchid
#

i feel like the sisisispiphus companion is just an elusive creature at this point

rough orchid
#

i want to farm but all of the runs i try end up winning except when i use rail so i just end up playing normal runs

polar marsh
#

I'm doing the prophecy bounties so i can get some of the gems to make the house of hades look fabulous

#

Play with god mode on so u can farm easily

gentle mason
# mint coral farming

The amount of darkness that you get via rooms is so small compared to darkness from Bosses, Troves, Bouldy, Shops and Summon Bouldy that I don't feel like switching off Dark Foresight is worth it. (I would rather focus on getting either more Chaos & Poseidon Boons to multiply the Darkness or getting more boons that help me clear a run faster so that my farming rate is faster).

rough orchid
#

im trying to find sisyphus but for some reason hes elusive

mint coral
#

dad killed through tidal dash spam

little dragon
#

did that once

#

7 dash build

whole ridge
#

7 dashes?

stoic violet
#

Forget Aphrodite, I wish I could give Asterius my nectar/ambrosia....

little dragon
#

heroic hermes or something

#

right after tis

little dragon
#

theres a random line somewhere were zag suggests just sitting down and having a drink with him instead

#

and hes like nah you have to earn that stuff in the arena

stoic violet
#

😮 guess I gotta keep playing

little dragon
#

he doesnt actually give it to you 😔

#

but you get it everytime you defeat him

#

to him, thats you earning and deserving it

stoic violet
#

yay :3

little dragon
#

so he wouldnt want you to give it back

stoic violet
#

I wanna give the nice muscly bull man a drink.... X3 In front of Theseus's dumb, gold plated face

stoic violet
little dragon
#

😔 he gets the ambrosia off screen

rough orchid
#

I THINK I JUST GOT A HIDDEN ASPECT ACCIDENTALLY

stoic violet
rough orchid
stoic violet
#

uhhhhhh for what weapon?

rough orchid
#

you think my memorys that good?

#

looks like ill have to find out

remote pebble
#

you'll find out at home

rough orchid
#

i do have six hearts with chaos

#

i was just doing a farming run with my new zeus shield

little dragon
#

tbh

#

the only hidden aspect you have to try for is 1 of them

#

the rest you just get from talking to people

#

so thats pretty normal

remote pebble
#

the first one?

little dragon
#

fists

#

and even thats kind of. youll get it eventually just by doing normal things

remote pebble
#

I hope so, haha, it's the one I'm missing

little dragon
#

but if you dont take boss rooms

#

nice

pallid canyon
#

why can I never talk to bouldy?

twin thistle
#

did you give sisyphus some nectar?

pallid canyon
#

no, I thought you just unlocked bouldy through chatting with him

#

I gave him 1 or 2, no ambrosia though

twin thistle
#

think you need to give him 3

#

or maybe just talking to him more

gentle mason
#

Also, giving him nectar and then ambrosia nets additional benefits as well.

pallid canyon
#

been focusing nectar to achillies and patty

#

hmm brilliant reposte or deadly reversal?

#

still need divine protection for the fate list

twin thistle
#

aint riposte a prereq for divine protection

pallid canyon
#

yeah, I picked it cause of that

polar marsh
#

Athena gemme your proud bearing boon its the last one i need

pallid canyon
#

never seem to get nectar as a reward

polar marsh
#

Rip

pallid canyon
#

demeter or dionysus first in a angry room?

mint coral
#

Il say angry dionyysus but thats bc i hate demeter god trial

pallid canyon
#

she makes you slow right? think I agree then

twin thistle
#

dio is a bro

mint coral
#

Demeter attacks cover a lot of the chamber so is just annoying to deal with

fiery osprey
#

Hewooo

#

Just won my first time with the spear and bow, back to back!:-)

#

I cant seem to be able to use my companion though… on switch, i thought youre supposed to press ZL. Nothing happened when i did it against hades. I have skelly’s companion btw

twin thistle
#

did you equip it?

void vigil
#

you cant unequip companions, perhaps you used all the charges before the fight

fiery osprey
void vigil
#

The companion’s charges. The level of the companion is as many charges of it you have to use in a run

#

If it’s at level 1 (unupgraded) you can use it once per run

umbral whale
#

It costs 10 ambrosia yo max out a companion, for a total of 5 uses. But... some companions cannot be used against hades

#

Shady and Rib can always be used against hades, but if you want to use any other one, you need to get hades maxed out, and have one that cant be used against hades and shady or rib and hades will permit you to use all of them afterwards

granite ether
umbral whale
#

I just said that right above lol

#

That dialogue triggers upon having one in each category of companion

Fidi, Battie, [Achilles], Mort

And

Shady or Rib

granite ether
#

My attention span is almost nonexistant atm 😅

umbral whale
#

I forgot achilles' companion name

#

Ty

#

Other than that the only stipulation after those fights is you cant use Battie on Fury fights and you cant use Mort during a Thanatos duel

hearty sierra
#

Just use Shady always and slam enemies with boulders

granite ether
#

And skelly during the charon fight

umbral whale
#

Although they have voice lines if you try

hearty sierra
#

I need to dload that mod that gives me unlimited charges tbh

umbral whale
#

Oh yeah right i forgot lol

hearty sierra
umbral whale
#

How could you die if you had that mod?

hearty sierra
#

Never knew about that interaction

umbral whale
#

Youd basically have a full heal every room xD

hearty sierra
umbral whale
#

Ive seen your boon menus

hearty sierra
#

(unless I do so willingly)

umbral whale
#

Is it ever actually canonically revealed who Skelly works for? Please answer with yes or no. Ik its small but i dont wanna be entirely spoiled

modern garnet
#

Yeah eventually

hearty sierra
#

50 health, no DD, 1 cast

umbral whale
#

Pretty sure ik who it is

fiery bramble
#

I wouldn't say he's the hardest boss fight

umbral whale
#

I would

fiery bramble
#

Democracy!

umbral whale
#

He hits the hardest and is the most hectic

#

Dude does not skip arm day

fiery bramble
#

Really? He's super easy to read, he has like three moves. Push the orbs at you, swipe at you, and something else easy to read

#

You can encounter him early enough where he can cause a problem or two

umbral whale
#

His oar hurts more than gigaros

#

Ive fought him three times total and i always misjudge how long his oar is

#

The only time i got a chance to fight him since was bullcrap. Because he showed up after id lost one DD, in elysium, just before the champions, an di was on my highest heat yet

hearty sierra
#

Always dash AT bosses and you'll be okay

umbral whale
#

Yeah ik asterius and hades taught me that

#

But my brain kept going "ok im saf-"THWACK

#

Im sure ill get better with practice

#

Good news is tho im proficient with every weapon

#

Still cant decide whether i like nemesis or arthur more tho

#

Only hidden aspects i havent fooled around with are Beowulf and Rama

twin thistle
#

hardest part of charon is that you barely fight him

#

cant really get practice on him

umbral whale
#

Extreme Measures 5. You must fight charon upon entering his shop for the first time and he has two phases

twin thistle
#

dont he have three already to begin with

umbral whale
#

?

umbral whale
#

I only remember the one phase

twin thistle
#

well ig not really phases since his attacks dont change

umbral whale
#

You get him to 20% and he stops the fight

twin thistle
#

but like he get shields and the arena changes so kinda phasey

fiery bramble
#

He puts up a shield 3 times

umbral whale
#

I only beat him first time cuz i ha ddivine dash

mint coral
#

one time i beated him at tartarus with gilga + ruthless at fo2
50% chance to dodge is great

south lagoon
#

i dont think Charon is a hard boss, like, mechanically, but i always lose a ton of health to him

#

he hits so hard

#

usually for me he's like, i know i can beat him but i'm probably going to be low health and die to something stupid afterwards

polar marsh
#

Until u got high health and god mode on with probably 60 or max 80% resistance depending where u steal his coin bag

mint coral
#

depends with what im fighting him and where mostly
i can fight him well in tartarus with hestia + shackle (or aphro attack)

pallid canyon
#

hmm, I think just did a heat 1 run with damage control on, then switched to a new weapon and damage control was still on even though I didn't set it on and the pact is saying I got the rewards for heat 0+1 but I only got 1.

lone kernel
#

Charon fight is a feel thing - only take it if you’re confident you won’t lose a bunch of defiances. In general, not advisable to take em in Tartarus unless you got the best start ever

lyric sage
#

anyone knows how to dump all the icons with their names and descriptions?

pallid canyon
modern garnet
#

I don't think it's possible to lose out on rewards

#

heat 0 and heat 1 can be unintuitive though

fiery osprey
pallid canyon
#

wait are they per weapon or per aspect?

lone kernel
#

weapon

pallid canyon
#

that explains it then lol idk why it was on heat 1 though, I didn't turn it on

hearty sierra
#

SPEEED

fiery osprey
hearty sierra
#

Pardon me

#

Mods

#

It's not a legit win

fiery osprey
#

Ohhhh

pallid canyon
#

80 runs still haven't used the hourglass or earrings

#

if I get out on for the first time on heat 1 do I get 2 of the reward from the last boss?

static lynx
#

For the twin fists, im trying to finish its prophecy and i have one left and ive played with them for 20-30 runs, am i just unlucky

lament night
#

Just hit the epilogue, kinda annoyed i couldnt fight hades since i had a really good cast build

#

Also it felt like the game was beat so quick, then i look at steam and i see 46 hours

Advice for Fresh File? I’m trying to make a file where I win every escape attempt. Past the first one, I’ll just give up if I’m about to die. But the first run is the real killer. I’ve been making attempts for at least 3 hours and I’ve made it to champions twice. I never managed to get ME (not for a lack of trying), although I did manage to get Divine Protection once (died because my damage was really really weak). I know it’s unlikely that someone here has ever done a fresh file run but if someone has, I’d love advice if you have any

#

Btw if you have a response, please ping me because otherwise I might not see it. Thanks shadesmile

hearty sierra
#

@reef zodiac lean hard into ares

reef zodiac
#

I take every Ares boon I see

hearty sierra
#

Even if you don't get ME, Ares can be your main damage

reef zodiac
#

Do you think I should take Slicing Shot?

#

If I’m not offered something better obv

hearty sierra
#

Sure

#

I don't think divine shot is particularly better

#

Especially if you can't get Lightning Phalanx

reef zodiac
#

That’s probably true. I often ended up with True Shot because I was hoping for Deadly Reversal

reef zodiac
hearty sierra
#

Yeah

#

Aside from that... value centaur hearts higher?

reef zodiac
#

For sure

short glen
#

Ancient Greece really liked the sounds associated today with "a", didn't they?

reef zodiac
#

Yeah I didn’t think there would be a whole ton of advice that can really be given on the subject but I was just checking to make sure I was doing everything right

short glen
#

Ares, Athena, Artemis. Apollo, Aphrodite. 5/12 of the Olympians have an A started name

hearty sierra
#

also take a look at how many casts I have

#

It says 1

#

but... it takes 0 seconds to regen

spare tiger
#

Oh MAN

#

Anyway, question i came for

#

How do i get the ambro i gave to Dusa back

#

I heard there was a way to do so

hearty sierra
spare tiger
#

I have max hearts on her

hearty sierra
#

After you finish the storyline she offers it back

spare tiger
#

Ahh

#

Wonder what everyone's favorite minibosses are...

raw herald
#

Gonna sound weird, but the witches circle

spare tiger
#

Understandable

#

One reflect boon and they're screwed

stoic flame
#

i think everyone can agree

#

that snitch sucks

#

sneak

spare tiger
#

The sneak?

raw herald
#

Once you can hit them all with your summon, the room becomes way easier

stoic flame
#

i mean sneak

#

lol

#

yes

#

but with mm

#

and ur using antanos

raw herald
#

I hate the barge of death

stoic flame
#

barge is just

#

annoying

#

and time taking

spare tiger
#

Barge is EASY

stoic flame
#

not when ur trying to get that pb

raw herald
#

Not good for speedrunning

spare tiger
#

Target the brimstones first

#

Afterwards, shred

raw herald
#

It usually takes 20s longer than the other minibosses

stoic flame
#

that starting and stopping animation

#

that takes like 7 seconds each

#

so thats 14 seconds of just

#

standing

spare tiger
#

You use speedrun timers for PB?

stoic flame
#

the in game timer

#

lol

spare tiger
#

I thought the timer didn't start for Barge until you had control

raw herald
#

No it keeps running

spare tiger
#

I think we can all agree though

#

Dire Butterfly Ball can suck the biggest one there us

raw herald
#

Again, it's quicker than Asterius miniboss in speedruns

short glen
#

Asterius way harder than butterfly ball

modern garnet
#

dire butterfly ball has a lot of health, but what it doesn't have is an immunity phase

short glen
#

Nor does it move nearly as well

stoic flame
#

it

#

teleports

#

but its still better than asterius

spare tiger
#

It teleports?

#

Oh lord

umbral whale
#

I prefer asterius

brisk trail
#

I love butterfly ball 💞

spare tiger
#

Asterius is harder for sure but far more fun in casual play

umbral whale
#

Hes insanely easy to dodge. The ball is a pain in the butt if i dont have deflect

spare tiger
#

You can't deflect the butterflies they're just destroyed

stoic flame
#

i dont understand how you dodge

#

asterius

#

when he does that charge thing

spare tiger
#

Just keep dashing

stoic flame
#

its just a homing atack

#

yeah i do that and it works

#

but thats just flukes

spare tiger
#

Worst hidden aspect?

umbral whale
raw herald
#

Gilga or Arthur

#

Controversial I know

spare tiger
#

Arthur isn't god tier but it's still good

umbral whale
#

Arthur is good for tanky slow builds gilga is a great speedrun weapon

spare tiger
#

Honestly? Lucifer just doesn't feel right to me

raw herald
#

Gilga isn't good for speedruns tbh

stoic flame
#

lucifer is the most fun gun

umbral whale
stoic flame
#

😔

#

my favourite aspect of anything is rama

umbral whale
#

I got an 18m run wih gilga when i used it. That doesnt sound fast but its fast for me

spare tiger
#

Rail's aspects really arent that fun in my opinion

umbral whale
#

Eris tho

spare tiger
#

They don't really change all that much

stoic flame
#

i think i got sub 15 with gilga

spare tiger
#

Eris is cracked as hell

#

But still not that fun really

umbral whale
#

I love it lol. My favorite is still Hestia

spare tiger
#

If Hellfire detonated after a second or so when it landed maybe I'd give it another thought

#

But nope

#

You gotta hit it with the lasers

umbral whale
#

Or let an enemy hit it

spare tiger
#

And when Aim Assist literally locks you onto enemies and you can't aim off

#

That's not easy

raw herald
#

If you have a dash you can use that to detonate it

umbral whale
#

They are basically mines. But i get what you mean.

stoic flame
#

i suck with hestia

spare tiger
#

And it might just be my lack of upgrades, but DAMN it's bad

umbral whale
#

I like to dash and reload and luci really doesnt like people who dash while reloading

spare tiger
#

And judging by the pattern of damage buffs, that's not changing

stoic flame
#

get triple bomb

#

and the whole map is just

#

ur landmines

umbral whale
#

You cant get cluster with luci can you

spare tiger
#

Don't think so

raw herald
#

Yea you cant

#

Triple bomb is nuts on it tho

stoic flame
#

yes

spare tiger
#

Wish we could have more hammers per run

umbral whale
#

Could you imagine tho?

#

Just blanketing a room wih hellfire

raw herald
#

I just want to combine twin shot, triple shot and flurry shot

stoic flame
#

broken

raw herald
#

Or triple bomb and hazard bomb

stoic flame
#

i dont think triple flurry is a thing

raw herald
#

It is

stoic flame
#

??

#

broken

#

rama flurry shot 😳

umbral whale
#

If youre on pc im sure theres a mod that removes the two hammer limit

spare tiger
#

Flurry shot is a 3 round burst right?

umbral whale
#

If there isnt someone should do that

raw herald
#

No, just autofire bow attack

#

But can't power shot

stoic flame
#

^

spare tiger
#

Oh

stoic flame
#

3 shot burst

spare tiger
#

No power shot on Rama?

stoic flame
#

is rama special

spare tiger
#

Lame

raw herald
#

Delta chamber is the 3 round burst

stoic flame
#

???

#

rama power shot never even happens lol

#

it takes so long

spare tiger
#

Have you NOT seen the damage?

raw herald
spare tiger
#

Dash my dude

stoic flame
#

smh

spare tiger
#

Dash attack charges a little slower than normal choronacht

umbral whale
#

Sorry to add another subject to the convo but whats everyones favorite Hades song?

stoic flame
#

unseen ones

#

slapper

#

also lament of orpheus is pretty cool

raw herald
#

Yeah mine is unseen ones as well

spare tiger
#

Bloodless is great

#

First phase of God of the Dead slaps hard

umbral whale
#

Oh Bloodless is the theme thst plays on the barge of death i love that song

spare tiger
#

And rat king

dusky wedge
#

Bought an anvil, lost Targetting System, and got Rocket Bomb and Cluster Bomb instead

#

We’re in high roll county, boys

#

Oh baby

burnt breach
#

@umbral whale what boons do you have

polar root
reef zodiac
#

After dying to champions 7 times over the course of my many hours of fresh file runs today, I have reached the conclusion that I do not know how to avoid Theseus spin attack with only one dash

#

Like the spin literally hit me almost every time, it actually feels incredibly hard to avoid

twin thistle
#

probably dashing too soon?

#

its a lot like dads spin attack aint it

#

though tbh id just stay away and bait out the spear throw

reef zodiac
#

Maybe

#

But the spin lasts for so long I feel like it hits me no matter when I dash

reef zodiac
twin thistle
#

after he throws the spear theseus turns around and lets you get free hits

reef zodiac
#

I guess that’s true. But it’s super slow, gives me very little damage, and in his phase 2 I have to do that while dodging the AOE attacks

#

Theseus is kinda a nightmare on fresh file tbh

#

Everything before it felt manageable but Theseus just feels so so difficult

twin thistle
#

yeah made a lot easier with something like artemis call tho

reef zodiac
#

Can’t have a call on Fresh File

#

They don’t exist

#

Neither do hammers

twin thistle
#

or not then lol

reef zodiac
#

You can’t get a call until you’ve done a good few runs already

#

Other things that don’t exist:

  • Chaos
  • Timer rooms
  • Fountain rooms
  • Thanatos
  • Wells of Charon or Pools of Purging in any place except the rooms between biomes
#

Oh, and also Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite, Demeter, and Hermes

twin thistle
#

also anything but base zag sword rip

reef zodiac
#

And keepsakes

reef zodiac
#

And obviously any mirror upgrades

arctic oasis
#

why hasn't chaos shown up for ages

polar root
#

Chaos stink

thick robin
#

yooo i slew hades without using any death defiances for once

arctic oasis
#

is it just me or is nyx the coolest character

ember cypress
#

Why is Zeus call considered the strong one with Smouldering Air? I read something about iframes?

umbral whale

Arti call isn't great in general, and no greater call on it hurts

obsidian schooner
#

Am I doing something wrong with playing the lyre

#

I’ve been playing it for around 50 runs I would say

ember cypress

#

This is one of the prophecies that you can’t just rush to complete

Just remember to keep playing it after every run

I gave Arty her last ambrosia and she gave me her legendary. feelsgoodman

spare tiger
#

Fair trade

obsidian schooner
#

When does it end?

hearty sierra
#

You reach the credits scene after 10 finished runs

ember cypress
#

Although there's plenty more to unlock even after you reach credits, when I reached credits almost all my aspects were level1 and I had a lot more to upgrade

Hi

grave flame
brisk trail
#

I just realized that there aren't any voice channels

rapid forum
#

Hard to monitor

#

Think that's what one of the mods said

stoic flame
#

more like all of the mods

#

damn this new ||persephone|| boss fight is hard

brisk trail
void vigil
#

This server has 66k members in it, a voice channel would be a bit much to moderate

hearty sierra
#

Um?

polar root
#

Isnt the family reunion the actual "ending"

#

After forging a bond with, like 4 gods

hearty sierra
#

Credits are usually what constitutes endings tho

brisk trail
#

yeah but the credits roll after 10 escapes

polar root
#

ggez

brisk trail
#

the family reunion is the epilogue

polar root
#

They are credits, so yesnt

brisk trail
#

personally i would consider the story finished after the epilogue, regardless of where the credits are
but both the credits scene and the epilogue offer satisfying endings to the story i think

#

Yes first escape

#

I didn't save the end screen tho...

mint coral
#

if you mean the painting you can check it again on hades room

brisk trail
#

Hades room is closed for me tho

burnt breach
#

which one?

brisk trail
#

I mean when you do a clear and the boons used pop up

burnt breach
#

hades shaking zeus' hand or the one with all the god symbols

brisk trail
#

But I did just get the clear

burnt breach
#

@brisk trail

So I haven't done any other attempts yet

#

Yes?

wheat frigate
burnt breach
#

hum maybe read messages? hmmm

brisk trail

I got blood for beating hades if that's what you mean

burnt breach
#

I was asking which end screen you meant

brisk trail
burnt breach
#

ah, victory screen

wheat frigate
burnt breach
#

well you can go back to when you beat hades by swapping save names if you really want to see it again

brisk trail
#

I'll check again later... I stopped playing when i got back to the house

wheat frigate
#

Ohhh wait, i thought you were talking abt not being able to get out of hades' boss fight room, sorryXD

brisk trail
#

Yeah no nvm that wasn't an issue

wheat frigate
#

K, me dum

brisk trail
#

So no I can't get the victory scene back... Eh no big deal

burnt breach
#

jesus dude are you doing that on purpose

brisk trail
#

I don't know what you mean by change the save names lol

brisk trail
#

Bruh

#

Sorry ig

burnt breach
brisk trail
#

I'm playing on console. I'm pretty sure I can't do that and I don't understand what doing that would do

burnt breach
#

ah nevermind then

brisk trail
#

So the game doesn't track your clears at all?

#

Dang

burnt breach
#

it does

#

but you can't see your victory screen again on console

brisk trail
#

That's what I meant... Dang

wheat frigate
#

If you want to see your boons, hammers etc. then you can find it in the administrative chamber

#

But it's not the victory screen

#

Just a summary of your run

grave flame
#

Is there a difference between the two? 😄

brisk trail
#

Something else, I wish I could see which rewards I already have with each weapon because I've lost track

brisk trail

Ooooh

#

Thanks

wheat frigate

#

I didn't check that yet

brisk trail
#

Is accessing that some other requirement or just for getting a clear the first time

wheat frigate
#

You need to buy access to the admin chamber

#

House contractor gives you the option

brisk trail
#

For crystals or

wheat frigate
#

Not sure honestly, I think it costs like 3 diamonds

brisk trail
#

Bruh well I'm going to have to beat the hydra a bunch

#

Not that it's a big deal

Playing the game is really fun

i recently hit 400 hours on steam...

brisk trail
#

I don't even know if I played Skyrim that much

#

That's a lot of hours

#

Then again I have like... Near 1000 hours in overwatch. Oof

spice flame
#

Overwatch.. Now it's be.. Meh 4 me..

brisk trail
#

I don't particularly play it anymore but I was big on it when it came out

spice flame
#

I bought the game for the premiere .. In fact, I even bought a "pig in a poke" then because I didn't know what exactly it was.

brisk trail
#

A what lol

spice flame
#

The game was fun and I enjoyed it. But for a time.
Too little support. Not enough content.

brisk trail
#

Yeah I would agree

spice flame
#

I hope OW2 be a better version

if you want to discuss overwatch or other games, please move to the #video-games channel shadesmile

Sorry my bad

though this is probably getting off topic, back to hades!

idle cloud
#

Vaguely proud of myself for knowing how to pronounce Dionysis

#

Mostly just cuz it's fun to say

#

Dionysis is SUCH a stimmy name

brisk trail
#

dionysus lowkey a cool name to give your child

idle cloud
#

Ikr

#

I can never just say like Dion or something as a nickname I'd have to call them the full first name

#

It's just a perfect name

#

Pure echolachia hours

#

How are we ever gonna go back to any other roguelike

#

Like once I fully beat hades in like 2 years where will I even go

#

I'll be too spoiled by this stunning game that everything else is gonna seem lackluster!

#

I don't know who shared this but

#

This fully encapsulates how I feel about the game, and is a great way to explain it to people considering buying it (the video gives a quick spoiler warning towards stuff it mentions in the end but really doesn't spoil anything in the audio if you just listen)

#

You know what'd be a fun stream? If I had more viewers I mean

#

"hades but chat picks all my boons/weapons"

icy cove
#

Anybody know why athenas boons are not spawning for me? I haven't found a single athena boon in 20 runs and even had the fists on to up my chances

chrome wharf
#

I wrote a randomizer if you want it

idle cloud
#

Oooooooo

#

Okay that sounds killer melon

#

Is there a way to dupe my save so that I can run the randomizer on one without disrupting my normal save?

#

I don't wanna have to start over to use a randomizer.... Unless that'd be more fun

#

Actually a fresh randomized run could be fun

#

By all means please send me the randomizer!

chrome wharf
#

Make sure to turn on underworld customs so chat tells you what to sell too, that's the only run-sabotaging not affected by approval process

#

oh it's only a mirror and heat rando

#

So it generates a random mirror combination and heats to pick that add up to whatever number you want

idle cloud
#

If you send me that I'll stream with it right this second

#

Underworld customs? Ooooooo

#

So should I start from beginning then? Or dupe my save so I'm not starting entirely new?

#

Which do you think would be more fun for chat

chrome wharf
#

it's not a patch you apply to the game file, it's a python script you run that tells you what heats and mirrors to pick

idle cloud
#

I see

#

Ohhh

#

So it'll tell me the heat and mirrors and chat can tell me the other stuff to pick?

#

Biggest issue is I'm not very high heat yet lol

chrome wharf
#

yeah it can tell you what keepsakes and weapon to take too

idle cloud
#

Neat

chrome wharf
#

Yeah it's been a thing for a while on the hades subreddit, if you search random loadout over there, you should get a few ones to try

idle cloud
#

Send it and I'll try it out!

#

Okay!

#

Sweet

#

Sounds very fun

#

Are you itsnuwanda then?

#

That's the first one that pops up for me lol

#

Oh yeah this is just a randomizing web page! Love it

#

I'll use this for sure

#

I'll stream in a sec after I go to the bathroom

#

I've got all but 1 of the normal artifacts, and I have all mirror things

#

And since the randomizer lets you pick you heat, that's no issue either

#

I can set it to 1-2 heat depending on weapon

#

Hell mode? Is that a new game + thing? Jesus

#

The game just never ends lol

#

More importantly, you mentioned God customs?

#

Never heard of that

mint coral
# idle cloud The game just never ends lol

Hell mode starts you with the pact of punishnent, obligatory to run at least 5 heat (HL1 CP1 LC1 JS1 and personal liability which is an exclusive pact that turns off that shield that appears when you lose much hp in a small margin of time)

#

And bounties cap at 25 instead of 20

chrome wharf
#

Yeah it's been a thing for a while on the hades subreddit, if you search random loadout over there, you should get a few ones to try

#

Cool, you know your way around jupyter notebooks?

idle cloud
#

No idea what that is

#

I'd say I know the most bare minimum of modding things

#

I'm able to mod certain things in a voxel based game I play

#

But nothing super intensive

I really would love to learn to code tho! Python or C# preferably

I just can't focus with my adhd is all

How do I use my companions optimally?

What times should i use them

I already almost have dusa maxed

So

idle cloud
#

I hear Achilles and ||his ex bf|| are good to befriend for progressing their story and unlocking ||hidden aspect of spear||

#

But what do you mean by "using them" at particular times?

#

Talk to them every time

Gift them whenever but if you're asking who to gift to first

Why do people recommend ares attack for rama aspect? Wouldn’t aphrodite or Poseidon attack work better, since shared suffering only applies to the damage from the attack itself?

whole ridge
remote pebble
#

Rama Special bounces well, so I could see that working

fossil elm
#

In any event I agree with you, prefer the artemis+aph duo on Rama

brisk trail
#

Is the ricochet effect on the gun a hammer upgrade or does it just do that normally... I seem to remember a ricochet effect anyway

#

Yes I could just check lol

remote pebble
#

sounds like a hammer upgrade

#

ricochet to one other enemy, or area damage

brisk trail
#

The bullets bounce between targets I mean

#

Yeah to one enemy to another

hollow hawk
#

and base rail attack does not

brisk trail
#

Then I'm crazy. Sweet

#

Maybe I had a Zeus boon 🤷‍♀️

lament night
brisk trail
#

Oh okay

#

I must have gotten that and forgotten when I last used the gun

spice flame
#

How i can get legendary chaos?

void vigil
#

you need one chaos boon that has turned into a blessing already. after that, its just luck

spice flame
#

YES, i already done quest with ALL DUOS.. Finally

spice flame
void vigil
#

do you have the codex index upgrade? it shows all the requirements there

#

chaos legendary is just kind of rare

gentle mason
#

The chaos legendary is significantly more rare than the other legendaries. Most of the regular god legendaries you can just turn on God's Legacy, pick the keepsake, get the pre-reqs and expect Legendary to pop better than 50% if you have a few re-rolls. Not so with Chaos.

spice flame
#

Okey, so with haos it's lottery more than with other gods.. Mkay then..

Why would you want that

don't be a buzzkill

Freezing vortex sucks though

what if it was homing trio boon

What boons would Jesus give

chrome wharf

death defiance

Yes, I made this to specifically combo with Smoldering Air to make my 40+ heat Rama + Smoldering Air runs even easier

Smoldering Air shadesmile

brisk trail
#

Sorry can I ask a question

raw herald
#

Sure

brisk trail
#

So Eurydice, you can increase 2 random boons by a rarity or 4 by +1 level... What's the difference between increasing rarity once vs increasing the level

raw herald
#

Some boons scale better with rarity than poms and vice versa

#

Rarity scaling doesn't usually have diminishing returns, poms do

brisk trail
#

Artemis crit seems to be the same for rarity and +1

burnt breach
#

artemis crit?

brisk trail
#

how do i kill meg?

#

i have tried 14 times

#

Like the crit chance boon

raw herald
#

Deadly strike?

burnt breach
brisk trail
#

sword is the best weapon?

#

when i reach her im already 30/50 hp

raw herald
#

First pom is +8%, common to rare is +8-9% as well

brisk trail
#

she doesnt die man

raw herald
#

But the second pom is only like 5-6%

raw herald
brisk trail
#

So common to rare is a bigger increase than level 2?

raw herald
#

Yeah

burnt breach
#

the best way to defeat Meg is to seduce her

raw herald
#

But it's different for all boons

burnt breach
#

she fights with me now

raw herald
#

Eg impending doom gives +5% per rarity increase, but the first pom gives +20%

burnt breach
raw herald
#

Same with Zeus' aid

brisk trail
burnt breach
#

it can happen

raw herald
#

Idk I choose nectar more often than not

#

Tbh

#

Are you using God mode?

brisk trail
#

whats that

raw herald
#

Turn it on in settings

brisk trail
#

i doubt more than 2% people who bought this game finish it

raw herald
#

It gives 20% damage reduction and +2% when you die, caps at 80%

brisk trail
#

thanks man i have turned on god mode

raw herald
brisk trail
#

i mean go to any game, 25% players dont achieve the first achievement

#

eg. getting your fingers wet in subnautica lmao

rough orchid
#

i keep seeing videos where the person has more beams with demeter cast than the amount of casts they have. how?

lament night
brisk trail
#

any other tips? i have been using my darkness to level up and using red arrows to kill, what else should i do?

lament night
#

The end of the game is the “family secret” achievement @burnt breach

raw herald
#

Unlock more of the mirror

#

Do you have the extra death defiance and the double dash?

brisk trail
#

one death defiance but only single dash

burnt breach
raw herald
#

Yeah get that

#

Will help a lot

lament night
brisk trail
#

how many death defiance can we get

raw herald
#

3

#

From the mirror at least

brisk trail
#

double dash from the mirror too?

raw herald
#

Yeah

#

It's only like 50 darkness iirc

brisk trail
#

which is the best weapon for me? like i know it depends on the play style but still

#

i have these so far

#

cant paste sc but i have them till the boxing gloves

raw herald
#

All the weapons are good, but shield and bow are recommended for new players

brisk trail
#

i personally like the shield, allows be to dash push

#

ok thanks

#

how are the boxing gloves?

raw herald
#

Good

brisk trail
#

aight imma try again now

rough orchid
raw herald
#

Mirror option

#

Gives 1 cast the recharges after 3s

#

You can get extra casts from chaos and have loads of beams out at once

brisk trail
#

just killed meg and got killed by skull snake

#

dont think i can restart everytime

sick ibex
brisk trail
#

i know how to unlock all the hidden aspects, and since sword and fists are my favorite (i have guan yu btw) which one do you think would be better of the two

#

I'm going to guess fully upgrading a 4th aspect gets rid of the health reduction?

mint coral
#

guan yu at max lvl gets its hp reduction to 50%

#

still painful but way better

brisk trail
#

Why would I use it then? I'm not good enough to work with that lol

#

Sad gamer moment

mint coral
#

the special is great, specially with charged skewer

spice flame
#

I have question.. it's only be one room when i can meet theseus, right?
Asterius have 2 rooms.

modern garnet
#

Yeah you only see theseus in the boss fight

brisk trail
#

Asterius can show up before the boss yeah

spice flame
#

Because i need autograph for Hypnos from Asterius

#

And in wiki Hades i readed

#

I need die 2 times

brisk trail
#

I don't think you can actually do that

spice flame
#

vs theseus

#

😐

brisk trail
#

Can you?

#

Thought that was just passing dialogue

spice flame
#

I already have 6 heart Hypnos and 7 is locked.

#

I need get autograph ASterius to unlocked heart

#

In order to actually get him this autograph, Zagreus must first die a total of six times in order to hear six unique greetings from Hypnos: three of these require dying to Asterius himself, two require dying to Theseus, and one requires dying in the final boss room of Elysium.

Wiki

fervent spruce
#

The autograph is separate from unlocking Hypnos’ heart. Iirc you need to witness some interactions between him and Thanatos

twin thistle
#

wiki says that the autograph aint required for his favor

chrome wharf
#

Yeah you just talk to everyone a lot

azure osprey
#

Arther is way too strong

#

I’m not joking I literally killed hades in like 3 minutes or 2

It was 1200 damage per combo

Or something

boreal gale
brisk trail
#

alright

#

thanks for the info

boreal gale
#

Np. Enjoy! Just so you're aware, Arthur is nothing like the other aspects. It's a heavy hitting slow weapon

#

It's amazing still but nothing like the others

#

Artemis Attack does mega amounts of damage

cyan tiger
#

yet as nyaan said, aphro is probably better

#

i still prefer artemis attack tho shadesmile

polar marsh
#

How do i get nyx to give me the alternate mirror of night power

void vigil
#

just talk to her, it happens very early on in the game

#

its to the left of every talent in the mirror and looks like this >|<

polar marsh
#

I think it might be different on console cause it wont let me switch the powers i'm guessing i have to unlock it all

void vigil
#

you dont

#

if you dont have the symbol to switch talents, you dont have it yet

#

how many runs have you done?

polar marsh
#

I've done 30 runs which failed i wanted to do the blade run but then switched to the spear to get a prophecy done for some gemstones to make the house looking good

void vigil
#

hmmm. 30 should be enough for it

#

and you dont recall any conversation with nyx about the mirror having another power?

polar marsh
#

I think she might've said that dialogue piece before i hit the 10th run attempt but i may need to check if it let me view the powers and show its alternate side that it can switch to

void vigil
#

yeah, check the mirror again and see if you can switch the talents on the left side

polar marsh
#

I'm able to switch idk why it didn't let me switch the first time probably was bugged or something

sick ibex
#

YES I LOVE rng. 5 runs in a row. 0 fountain rooms, and ive needed to buy every single hammer ive gotten. wicked cool.

quick adder
#

I love this game

#

What's everybody's favorite weapon and aspect? I'm still kinda new all things considered, got the first ending a few days ago, but my favorite so far is Aspect of Arthur

compact cloak
#

Aspect of Lucifer for me

mint coral
#

hidden shield by far
followed by zeus, rama and hera

quick adder
#

I do love the Zeus shield

compact cloak
#

I would so pay for them to add in 1 or 2 new weapons and aspects

#

Like fr let me have thanatos's scythe

granite ether
#

Currently Bow and all bow aspects
Fists I will always have a soft spot for tho

remote pebble
#

I like a lot of the weapons

compact cloak

The magnetic cutter fists are pretty dope

although maybe for Sword, I only like Arthur

I love Shield of Chaos, Hestia Rail, and Chiron Bow

sick ibex
#

call me crazy, but poseidon sword is actually my favorite right now. with exit wounds, forgetabout it

compact cloak
#

Also since I've been using the alternate cast mirror upgrade, can you load more than one cast into hidden aspect shield?

mint coral
#

yup

compact cloak
#

Ahhhh

mint coral
#

same as hera, load all casts into one big burst

compact cloak
#

I just like not having to pick up my casts XD

#

I'm too lazy for that

mint coral
#

with beo they are gonna be just where you end your rush at least

#

unless you are using charged shot

remote pebble
#

oh yea, 3 casts into the hidden shield dash gave me so much damage last run

formal drift

3 casts with Hera got me my first clear

Artemis and Aphrodite are really good together

tawdry comet
compact cloak
#

Does it mean like if doom is on special and attack?

granite ether
mint coral
#

first hit applies doom then the following dooms adds 12/14/16 damage to it depending on the rarity

compact cloak
#

So like for each proc on that enemy?

mint coral
#

with impending doom you can get big doom dusa

#

yup, each proc is extra damage

compact cloak

Err concurrent proc

It's great. Slap Doom special on Chiron or Chaos and go to town

Spear is also meh

stoic flame
#

yes

#

i am not a fan of spear

stuck sentinel
#

zag sword is fun

#

its pretty bad

#

but i like it

#

zag spear is the literal worst asepct in the game

#

zag shield is also really bad

#

the others are fine

mint coral
#

i think zag sword is worse than spear

stuck sentinel
#

doubt

mint coral
#

as you get most dps of dash strike and zag sword doesnt apply to it

plucky latch
#

Just attack

stuck sentinel
#

but when playing optimially with spear you also dont really use special that much

mint coral
#

at least zag spear gets special benefit and can be paired with exploding launcher and charged skewer

stuck sentinel
#

and zag sword gives movement speed

#

which if you get rush is good

stoic flame
#

the only thing zag spear is good for is chain special

stuck sentinel
#

also its just more fun to play for me

stoic flame
#

i dont see any other usage

stuck sentinel
#

yeah

#

if your going for flurry slash build

#

zag sword is nice

best aspect is hestia

Hestia is so much fun with Artemis on attack

because i suck at it
