What’s the max heat you can actually win with?

plucky latch
#

Any nerds?

mint coral
#

61 is the wr iirc?

#

With zeus shield

maiden bane
#

I got a Cerberus clear message that said ‘Where did he go?’

#

Lol

plucky latch
#

I think it's 64

#

Max Heat

neat stag
#

When unlocking hidden aspects, does the 5 blood in a single weapon requirement include the Zag weapons?

#

I already unlocked Guan Yu

mint coral
#

64 is the max but the most its have been beated with is 61 (without being routed)

plucky latch
#

No one has beaten the game with max heat?

neat stag
#

So, for fists, if I already have Guan Yu unlocked, and I have 5 blood in the Zag fists, am I eligible to unlock the hidden aspect for fists?

plucky latch
#

Sheesh. Time for a challenge

why doesnt anyone do godmode for 64 heat

Prolly cuz this dude is lying

ah

mint coral
#
  • ig most experienced players would know the difference in dmg ig
stoic flame
#

it adds more damage?

mint coral
#

You get damage resistance

#

20% at start and goes up by 2% each death until 80%

plucky latch
#

Alright. Die 40 times then break the record

stoic flame

ez

mint coral
#

God mode is disabled in hell mode

plucky latch
#

Im leaving

stoic flame

leaving 🗿

mint coral
#

Also i dont think god mode is allowed for leader boards anyways (otherwise i dont see why wouldnt they use it)

plucky latch
#

If you get 80% damage resistance and then 20% more, do you just become actually God

mint coral
#

it stacks multiplicative so you cant

plucky latch

Ah okay

Um... I've been thinking about getting a controller for the game, which one should I get: series x or ps5?

does anybody have an article or a timestamp in a video about why they made chaos nonbinary, i remember seeing it but i can't find it

Oh my god. I just beat Champions for the first time on Fresh File (winning your first ever run). I’ve died to them so many times before this. I don’t expect to beat Hades but I’m definitely gonna try

#

Any advice for Fresh File Hades fight?

#

I have Merciful End (but only 50 doom damage shadegrief ) and Divine Protection

#

Is there anywhere I can see people doing this fight in a context other than speedruns? I plan to take my time, especially since I have Divine Protection

#

I watched a few speedruns of it, but those don’t teach me the safest way, they teach me the fastest safe way

Is it really possible to get 100% dodge chance? Like become unhittable?

Im fighting hades, have skelly companion x2. Im on hades second bar, how come i cant use my second summon? It just says “summon unavailable “

reef zodiac
#

You can only summon once per room

#

Regardless of boss phases

fiery osprey
#

I did it twice before… but i guess it was cuz i used 1 skelly on first bar, and 1 on his second bar

#

I guess it doesnt allow 2 on one bar

#

:/

fiery osprey
#

Idk what to tell you?

#

I just did it 2 runs ago

reef zodiac
#

Unless Skelly companion follows different rules from Meg companion

#

Which I guess is possible?

#

But I kinda find it unlikely

#

Idk I never used Rib lol

#

Ok according to the wiki, that is impossible

#

“Like other Companions, Rib can only be used once per combat encounter”

#
Hades Wiki

Companion Rib is obtained by reaching a high level of trust with Skelly, and then gifting him Ambrosia.
Using Rib in battle will summon Skelly to aid you. He will appear and distract foes in an area by shouting at them, drawing their attacks and attention away from you. He can take friendly fire. He will remain until he is killed; if you finish ...

If you only watch my runs when they go up on YouTube, you probably thought I stopped running Hades. After my last PB it took another 1000+ attempts and competition from several other runners to finally get this run: the first Hades kill from a new save in under twenty minutes. I left in a lot of the post run because this run feels particularly m...

Defiance, were you one of the people who gave me advice for my Fresh File runs yesterday?

Deff not long time, summoned for first bar, he got killed. During second bar, did the same

hearty sierra

Try it again if you can!

fiery osprey

reef zodiac
#

Thanks for the advice! I beat Champions, and am entering Styx (in a bit, I’m taking a break). Do you have any advice for the Hades fight (and/or Styx)?

fiery osprey
#

Im worn out. Im only 2 weeks into the game, and ive just beaten the game with every weapon except the fists

reef zodiac

Im currently trying to win with fists… so hard, and i came pretty close

fiery osprey
hearty sierra
#

Fists are challenging for their short range

raw herald
reef zodiac
fiery osprey
hearty sierra
#

Run a lot and try using your casts as main damage

reef zodiac
hearty sierra
#

I recommend charon + extra cast from well in styx

#

Yeah definitely play like you'll die in 1 hit

#

Because you're gonna die in two

fiery osprey
# hearty sierra Fists are challenging for their short range

YES. I get past all the regular enemies easily with fists. My fav combo is magnetic cutter (aspect) + poseidon knock away special. Spamming that is literally pushing and pulling enemies to their demise. However, this is not helpful at all vs the heroes and hades

reef zodiac
hearty sierra
hearty sierra
#

The meta build is Doom Attack, Divine Special, look for Merciful End, then get divine dash and just dash attack

fiery osprey
hearty sierra
#

But I advocate for off-meta builds so try a Dio hangover attack build with Aphrodite special/attack

reef zodiac
#

Well, there’s a few issues unfortunately. Issue 1: I can’t put on Charon keepsake because it doesn’t exist in fresh file lol
Issue 2: Hades has 34,000 health and my cast does less than 100 damage

reef zodiac
hearty sierra

And then look for low tolerance to just stack hangover

A "fresh file"

Beating the game on first run?? Thats insane

Can't you just turn the switch off or something

hearty sierra
reef zodiac
# fiery osprey Beating the game on first run?? Thats insane

It’s even harder than you think. Did you know there’s no chaos? No Zeus? No Poseidon, no Aphrodite, no Hermes? Obviously no DDs and 1 dash. Theres no hammers. No keepsakes. There’s also no such thing as Wells of Charon in normal chambers, only between underworld regions. It’s brutal

hearty sierra
#

also, 50 health, no extra cast damage, no backstab, one dash, no DD

#

It's legit brutal

reef zodiac
#

Yep

#

It’s funny because only 4 gods even exist

hearty sierra
#

Yeah I'm gonna beat hades first-run

#

You don't want spoilers, right?

reef zodiac
#

Me? I’d rather avoid spoiling any unique dialogue. It would be a nice treat after working so hard for this

hearty sierra
#

Yeah I'll just DM rin then

Thanks!

You can also spoiler tag it

Okay Zag sword was worse than I remember

Especially with single dash

What’s the internal cooldown on Sea Storm?

0.2 secs

#

Not as limiting as I thought

reef zodiac
#

How does the Styx anvil work on a first run? I obviously have no hammers since they don’t exist, yet there is an anvil in the shop

#

Ok the wiki is saying that I just won’t be able to buy it

stoic flame
#

what a waste

reef zodiac
#

Alright I died to Hades as expected

#

I didn’t have practice with the first run version of that fight (one dash, ME Zag sword)

dusky wedge
#

Only one dash just doesn’t sound cool, period

vapid narwhal
#

for fresh file you dont necessarily need to do it on the first run btw

#

3rd run with bow is a common route for a fresh file clear

brisk trail

you can dash while holding shot

Thats probably gonna take awhile to get use to without aim assist

hearty sierra

Just use aim assist lmao

You don't even need to point with your joystick

Ik i just like to try to use skill without having help from game options

twin thistle
#

lol having to manage both movement and aim on the same stick aint really great for manual aiming with a high fire rate ranged weapon

stoic flame
#

I have come to realise

#

Aphrodite has the worst duos

#

the only good one is heart rend

#

every other is extremely niche and just not good

twin thistle
#

idk why you wouldnt want low tolerance on a hangover build

stoic flame
#

okay fine that's also okay

twin thistle
#

smouldering air is also really good with certain combos like the hermes and zeus cast boons

stoic flame
#

the only time smoldering is good is when you have zeus call

#

maybe even Athena

twin thistle
#

aphrodite call pretty good with it

stoic flame

I don't like aphro call

twin thistle

For the modded players here, what are some mods you can recommend for a ''newgame+'' experience? for example (idk if they exist) more mirror traits, acces to fishing before the poseidon encounter, etc. things like that. NOT THINGS THAT MAKE THE GAME EASIER. Les grindier is okay

Dunno, but you could give it a try.

Love how Ares literally can just give you an attack boost

Aphrodite's Aid is obviously the best.

Aphrodite’s is insane

Lady Demeter's Call is decent.

Zeus & Dio are the best.

Zeus' Aid is amazing.

Zeus works better for closer weapons tho

The lightning strikes didn’t seem to do all that much, considering you have to be directly next to the enemy

I mean anything is a melee weapon if you're going fast.

torn copper
#

But then again I just don’t roll with Zeus that much in general

boreal gale
#

It's gonna be harder with something like Coronacht

Activating any Call gives you i-frames, so being close isn't really a problem.

I think every call is pretty balanced.

torn copper
#

True

high island
boreal gale
#

I more use Ares call for the invulnerability

#

But in that case I'd just use athena

torn copper
#

There are better invulnerable calls

#

Oh yeah I hate Athena’s too lol

boreal gale
#

Athenas is amazing

#

It's literally invincibility

high island
#

Athena's Aid does better DPS than Ares' Aid. dusa

torn copper
#

Lol

boreal gale
#

Oml EM3 is aids

high island
#

It's a fact.

torn copper
#

Poor Ares

boreal gale
#

Ares has better stuff tho

torn copper
#

Whoops

boreal gale
#

TUT TUT

high island
#

Nah, he got plenty of really good boons. Don't feel sorry for him.

boreal gale
#

His attacks are amazing

#

So is his cast

torn copper
#

Sometimes I take his keepsake just for the base % damage increase

high island
#

Cast is okay.

torn copper
#

His cast combo with Poseidon is pretty interesting

boreal gale
#

His dash is pretty bad

high island
#

His Dash is pretty good.

boreal gale
#

Anyone who uses Dio dash is weird

gentle mason
torn copper
#

Me omw to pick up Athena dash for the 8 millionth time

high island
#

Drunken Dash isn't too bad, either. Easy way to proc Bad Influence and builds god gauge pretty quick.

boreal gale
#

Drunken Dash is my least favorite

raw herald
#

Mistral dash thanthink

high island
#

I mean, ME existing doesn't make Blade Dash bad.

high island
boreal gale
#

I just think there's better stuff

raw herald
#

Good question

#

I heard it absolutely sucks

high island
#

Somebody should give Lady Demeter a Dash boon.

torn copper
#

Lmaooo

#

The gust of wind

high island
#

Lord Ares has no Call. Lady Demeter has no Dash.

#

It's so weird.

torn copper
#

That’s the absolute worst dash in the game

#

Poseidon’s dash is fun

raw herald
#

Not just fun, absolutely broken

torn copper
#

Good for spacing

boreal gale
#

Here, have 1 cold thing. So useful

raw herald
#

And deleting enemies

boreal gale
#

Poseidon Dash on Eris=death

high island
#

Screw spacing, poms on Tidal Dash and just kill everything.

#

My spacing is right in their face to slam them against walls.

torn copper
#

I pick up Athena’s too much HypnosSticker

boreal gale
#

Brute Force>Spacing

#

You don't need to space if you kill them before they kill you

#

Simole

#

Ah yes simole

torn copper
#

What’s the base damage on Poseidon’s Dash

raw herald
#

35

#

At common

#

First pom is +21 damage

#

Then +15

torn copper
#

Plus wallslam damage?

boreal gale
#

What prophecy grants me alot of titan blood?

high island
#

The base damage is everything in Tartarus dies and the pom scaling is everything double-dies.

#

Or something.

raw herald
#

Idek how much damage wall slams even do

torn copper
#

That’s actually crazy, I never even considered using it as an offensive option

#

Athena brainrot

high island
#

Wall-slam damage scales with the biome.

boreal gale
#

I did the miniboss one and then like the intelligent being I am accidentally unlocked a different aspect

compact cloak
high island
#

Yup. That's why wall-slams in Satyr tunnels just kill everything.

torn copper
#

Good lord

gentle mason
compact cloak
#

Wow

boreal gale
#

I hate it when I use my call and it hits something like a numbskull

torn copper
#

You guys ever do a Heat run where a legendary boon gets locked out under limited boons lmao

high island
#

And if I remember right velocity. @night rampart, you're the one who found the info, right?

raw herald
#

Idk man, as someone with around 10 40 heat clears, I will literally take divine dash over everything

torn copper
#

That happened to me twice in one run

mint coral
torn copper
#

It was actually funny, I think I screenshotted

gentle mason
high island
#

I've done plenty of high heat runs with AP2, so er... yeah.

compact cloak
#

Could someone take a look at my current build and in the build chat and let me know who to take next?

torn copper
#

I just wanted to test it out

boreal gale
#

I wanna get EM4

#

Simply to make me suffer

torn copper
#

Do I have it right that most people don’t think doing EM4 is worth it?

boreal gale
#

I want dad to be a challenge

high island
torn copper
#

Yessir

torn copper
#

EM4 Hades is my favorite fight

#

Besides EM Theseus

boreal gale
#

I hate emthreeseus

torn copper
#

But Theseus is just my favorite character in the game so I might be biased

boreal gale
#

I hate Theseus

torn copper
#

I love him

boreal gale
#

I prefer Asterius

#

Asterius is cool

torn copper
#

All of his lines are amazing

#

And the chariot outfit is so stupid that it’s amazing

#

And he basically has a tank

#

What a legend

astral flume
#

just read on a list that Hades supports the Adaptive Triggers feature of the DualSense controller.
a) how does it use them and
b) only on the ps5 copy or on the PC version aswell?

boreal gale
#

I love how Asterius got some armor, and then Theseus gets a Cart, guns and bombs

torn copper
#

And a stupid helmet

boreal gale
#

Yes very balanced splitting

torn copper
#

That Daedalus specifically designed to look as stupid as possible

boreal gale
#

And Asterius is then still harder

#

Beyblade Beyblade let it rip

torn copper
#

Theseus’s deranged laughter when he’s firing his Gatling gun completes my life

boreal gale
#

Theseus doesn't even get a second stage for me it's hilarious.

#

Artemis Call go brrr

astral flume
#

(might repost the question in a tech supp channel lmao. And yes Theseus silly gold man)

torn copper
#

Even his summon dialogue is amazing

boreal gale
#

I wanna get a boon from every god so I can show Theseus that Artemis likes me more

torn copper
#

“Get out of here, you skeleton!”

#

“Asterius! Watch out for that Boulder!”

#

He and Asterius’s bond is so great

mint coral
#

bosses reactions to bouldy are always amazing to be fair

boreal gale
#

"Lady Artemis, I need your help!"
"Artemis!"
"Firing!"
Say sike rn.

torn copper
#

❤️bouldy ❤️

#

We love him

boreal gale
#

Theseus lowkey bullies Asterius

torn copper
#

No he doesn’t! They’re friends

mint coral
#

"is that a rock?" - dad vs bouldy

compact cloak
#

I love her voice line: "I've got them in my sights!"
Just takes me back to my soldier 76 days

boreal gale
#

Like no Asterius you may not have an opinion.

#

How dare you compliment Zagreus

#

Oh so he's good so I'm bad?

torn copper
#

The only time they have a fight Theseus just gives him the silent treatment and that’s hilarious

boreal gale
#

Theseus is kinda stuck uo

#

But everyone's opinion ig

torn copper
#

That’s what makes him great

modern garnet
#

theseus is just insecure about his strength and lashes out against his bff

torn copper
#

You’re not supposed to take him seriously

#

When Zag asks Asterius for the autograph and Theseus chimes in about giving him one too

boreal gale
#

Should I "befriend" literal Death or a woman with a whip first? Hm.

#

Decisions Descisions.

torn copper
#

And when Zag asks Asterius to talk for once and Theseus is like “Yes! And I too, shall talk!”

#

I love him so much

#

The voice performance elevates it too

boreal gale
#

He kinda cool ig

#

Oh the voice performance is amazing

#

Oh cool I'm now officially working for The House

#

That's pretty cool

#

Now I'm hired to ransack the Underworld.

We Stan the than

I’m more of a Meg kinda guy

#

But they’re both great

boreal gale
#

I love how it's harder for us to talk about feelings than kill a bunch of shades.

#

😳

#

The fact that I cannot romance Dusa is upsetting to me.

weary jackal
#

Any and all jokes regarding a love for Thanatos can be misunderstood in a way that belies an unhealthy mindset

torn copper
#

Than the man

weary jackal
boreal gale
#

I Stan Than the Man

weary jackal
#

I’m simply surprised there’s no Zeus romance

torn copper
#

Lmfaooo

boreal gale
#

This doesn't align with Greek mythology

#

Zeus should be able to romance with everyone

weary jackal
#

In Every game that Zeus is in
He should be romance-able

Including God of War

boreal gale
#

I mean the ending would be a bit wierd

spice flame
weary jackal
boreal gale
#

I sat there for 30 minutes pummelling Zeus's face because I didn't realise I could stop

torn copper
#

Zeus has probably attempted to do it with a hole in the ground an inconceivable amount of times

weary jackal
#

Gaea is technically a living force so
Probably

boreal gale
#

I love how the extent of Zags powers is a stone

#

A red stone

weary jackal
#

The dash too

boreal gale
#

Oh sorry

#

A red stone and a dasy

#

And some fiery feet

weary jackal
#

And the whole
Death Defiance
Thing

boreal gale
#

When the Styx tries to take Zag he should just jump and see what happens.

weary jackal
#

He does that after the 10th ending

#

Doesn’t work

torn copper
#

The postgame endings are so funny

#

My favorite one is the literal actual looney tunes one

weary jackal
#

The cliff?

torn copper
#

Where he runs full speed at a wall that’s painted to look like a tunnel and dies from it

weary jackal
#

Oh, the “Wall painted to look like the way out”

torn copper
#

Yes

weary jackal
#

You ever think it’s weird how Zag doesn’t use death Defiance to stay on the surface slightly longer

boreal gale
#

Are these little animations or is it the little speeches the Narrator gives?

torn copper
#

Narrator

boreal gale
#

Ah

weary jackal
#

Speeches
The animation is the same every time

The terminator reference is funny tho

I got into Hades about 8 or so months ago and there was a big break from the game

#

10 moths

#

months

#

sorry

dim flower
#

i started playing it january of 2020, so by the time the full game came out i was able to finish the story quickly

brisk trail
#

I have now completed 6 runs

#

You mean clears right?

#

yes

#

Oh cool I've only done 2 so far

#

how long have you been playing?

#

I'm on 29 attempts, uh I'd need to check

#

what would be your favorite weapon?

#

Spear for the moment tho I've really been neglecting the other weapons

#

Mine is the chaos shield

#

I have got some nasty setups with it before

heady cypress
#

Does forced labor or whatever the name is increase boss hp too?

heady cypress
#

I meant the one with Fitness which gives +20%hp

gentle mason
heady cypress
#

Sad noises

#

Everything above 3 heat makes me uncomfy

gentle mason
#

Regular enemy HP increase is barely noticable but Boss HP is tough

heady cypress
#

What's the effect of middle management

gentle mason
#

You can get to 6 Heat with Underworld Customs (2) + Tight Deadline (1) + EM2 (3) pretty safely.

reef zodiac
#

PSA: Jury Summons and Calisthenics Program may look like free easy pacts but they are actually not. Especially Calisthenics Program, which is in the running for one of the worst pacts in the game. I’d highly suggest avoiding them until at least 34 heat. If you want advice on pacts, I can suggest a lot of easier pacts for lower heats

heady cypress
#

Never noticed the existence of underworld customs that's actually pretty easy

gentle mason
#

That requires you to finish inside of 36 minutes, beat 2 sightly harder bosses, and sell a boon after every biome (With Dark Foresight on that should be easy)

heady cypress
#

Turned on the security thing too but daddy's traps just oneshotted me in his 2nd phase (I was playing with one death defiance and he was almost dead)

#

It was a painful death

heady cypress
gentle mason
#

I have only taken it to fulfill the Prophecy

void vigil
heady cypress
gentle mason
reef zodiac
#

I’m probably gonna actually make a heat wall in a little bit, going over how hard I think each pact is and what heat you should start considering them at.

heady cypress
#

What about damage control

raw herald
#

Bad

heady cypress
#

That sounds like an easy handicap too it's only 1 hit more right?

raw herald
#

The acorn is a really good keepsake, isnt it

#

Imagine you are giving every enemy a 2 charge acorn

#

It sucks

heady cypress
#

Wait.. That's terrible I won't be able to spawn trap my enemies if I take that

gentle mason
#

Damage Control is alright if you are doing the fist or the rail but it is pretty bad with slower weapon.

heady cypress
reef zodiac
#

Damage control is fine on some aspects (Eris rail with Zeus attack makes it do very little), but it’s still often doing more than it looks like it’s doing even with something like Chiron or Zeus shield

gentle mason
reef zodiac
#

DC is pretty bad on sword, and absolutely god awful on Arthur

heady cypress

It’s slower in terms of clear times as well tbh

What exactly does benefits package do

Yeah, i dont like damage control on any weapon

Still slower than the gun or malphon but it's decent

raw herald
#

Not even Rama

reef zodiac
wise oasis
reef zodiac
#

Still, DC is a necessary evil at higher heats unfortunately

heady cypress
#

If you increase the number of enemies, will the fight be longer or do you get sandwiched even harder

raw herald
#

Both

wise oasis
brisk trail
#

Man I'm trying to get Hades on my pc

IDK, I've never found HS or DC to be too bad, at least not with most melee aspects

Do em4 for fun

Em4 is really fun on lower heatd

#

Weird question do you guys get hand cramps when playing Hades on switch?

raw herald
#

On certain weapons yeah

heady cypress
raw herald
#

10 heat total

wise oasis
#

Em4 is definitely worth a couple attempts

boreal gale
#

Time to borrow from Charon!

#

More accurately, time to lose 2DD

#

Hold on I just realized how amazing the synergy between cursed slash and flurry slash must be

#

Give me Daedalus hammers, game

heady cypress
#

Not at the moment tho Im still dying to dad with no upgrades

wise oasis
#

Fair enough

heady cypress
#

I just realized smth

#

I went into an erebos gate or whatever the name is

wise oasis
#

Em4 is much tougher from start to finish

heady cypress
#

And

#

Then I thought

#

What happens if I get hit?

wise oasis
#

You get a tasty onion

heady cypress
#

Did like 3 or 4 but I never got hit so Idk what happens

heady cypress
wise oasis
#

You get an onion

#

It gives like 2 hp

#

Hades laughs at you too

heady cypress
#

That's it?

I got stuck on a pillar when fighting Theseus and Asterius and died

#

Wait is the membership card permanent????

raw herald
#

No

boreal gale
#

Damn

#

I just went from the Charon fight to the Megagorgon rip run ig

short glen
#

imagine if it was, and it stacked, you get 5 and you get free items forever

boreal gale
#

I didn't know they stacked tbh

sick ibex
# raw herald No

wuttt, ngl i for sure assumed you merk him 1x and you get a membership card for the save file permenant. any future kills on him would just be a flex. silly me lmao

short glen
wise oasis
#

You can't fight him more than once

short glen
#

That was a hypothetical if it stayed forever but you could keep earning them each run

wise oasis
#

So they likely don't stack

#

Code probably just checks if you have it then multiplies shop prices by 0.8

boreal gale
#

I won't be fighting Charon again

#

Got the achievement I'm good now

reef zodiac
#

Does middle management affect the Asterius fight? I always have MM on so I literally do not know if it’s different

raw herald
#

It does not

reef zodiac
#

Ok that’s what I thought, thanks

heady cypress
#

Just killed the bone hydra with 8 heatbouldy

#

But at what cost

#

The 3rd phase made me lose 2 charges of dd

dim flower
#

wait until 16+ heat

heady cypress
#

Noooooo

dim flower
#

winning on 32 heat is required if you wanna 100%

dusky wedge
#

What’s your pact? Hard Labor?

#

Sounds like you took a lot more damage than you should

heady cypress
#

Nope

#

I just messed up

#

Idk how to deal with that many heads on that map/room

dim flower
#

what room?

heady cypress
#

The other one is way too easy but this version is hard af

dusky wedge
#

Ah, EM2

#

Yeah, losing 2 DDs on that boss in EM2 is pretty normal

dim flower
#

at first when i unlocked pact of punishment i was like “nope, not doing that”
but now i’m like “ooh, pact of punishment 👀”

heady cypress
dim flower
#

personally i find EM2 easier than the regular hydra battle

delicate dew
#

Anyone a fan of Ice Wine? Got Achilles Spear build going and damn...surprised at how good it is

dim flower
#

it gives you more room to run about rather than just the half circle

heady cypress
#

But the lava-

dim flower
#

just dash over it

#

you can take a couple steps in it before the damage starts ticking down

heady cypress
#

It's too tight with all the heads attacks and the lava at once

#

Thats why I'm messing up everything

dim flower
#

fair

dusky wedge
#

Can get pretty hectic with melee weapons

dim flower
#

but also i may have an easier time because i’ve been playing the game for a while

dusky wedge
#

Ranged weapons is always easy with hydra

heady cypress
#

Yes I got lucky

#

Found the depressed guy and Charon afterwards I have full hp(250) and 4 charges of dd now

idle cargo
#

Man, the hidden aspect on Varatha is rough if you aren't prepared

#

Lost all 4 of my DDs before I even got the the Hydra, but the hidden aspect makes Lernie an absolute joke (as if he wasn't already one before)

dim flower
#

yea varatha’s hidden aspect is probably my least favorite ngl

idle cargo
#

I just need titan blood to unlock the hidden aspect for stygian

#

And then with the stygian hidden aspect, as shall get cursed slash and flurry slash

#

And Athena's call

#

And be genuinely unkillable

dim flower
#

stygius hidden aspect is so op

idle cargo
#

That's exactly why I want it

dim flower
#

if you match it with heartbreak strike it’s top tier

idle cargo
#

Butttt I've already done all the weapons (except for the final boss but I really don't enjoy the bow, and even then the only thing left to collect is final boss rewards, if I kill him with it)

#

So now I'm trying to beat the game with heat

dim flower
#

divine strike is also really good

#

i don’t really like the bow either

#

doesnt work with my play style

idle cargo
#

Praying to all the gods that I find Patroclus this run

good luck

idle cargo
#

Without quick spin, it's incredibly difficult to use properly

heady cypress
#

I went from 3 to 8 heat and got to hades 2nd phase on my first try

dim flower
#

definitely

#

damn nice

heady cypress
#

I died due to a wave which hit me 3 times in a row cuz I dashed away from it

heady cypress
umbral whale
#

My highest heat is 10. Havent even attempted 11 yet

jade zenith
#

increasing the heat levels when you are starting off should be pretty easy since they don't add much difficulty

dim flower
#

my highest heat rn is 17

jade zenith
#

if you are dying because of a wave hitting you 3 times then I am wondering what you took

raw herald
#

Probably nothing

#

Just unlucky timing

dim flower
#

yeah

jade zenith
#

because whilst hades hits hard, I don't think 3 waves are going to make a massive impact alone unless you are running a lot of HL

heady cypress
#

That's the issue

jade zenith
#

I meant 3 wave hits

heady cypress
#

The same wave hit me 3 times cuz I was dashing away

dim flower
#

they could have already used all their DD’s

heady cypress
#

Yeah I already got revived with my last dd a couple of moments ago when it happened

dim flower
#

if hp is a problem i highly recommend using cerberus’ keepsake and leveling it up all the way

heady cypress
#

Should I die on purpose to give skelly another nectar?

#

There's a lock on the next heart it looks like it's unlocking the companion is that right?

heady cypress
dim flower
#

uhhh that should be it. see what boons you get first before giving up on the run

heady cypress
#

So it's already lvl 3

dim flower
#

nice

jade zenith
#

skelly companion isn't the most useful

heady cypress
jade zenith
#

so I wouldn't be in a rush

heady cypress
#

And skelly is just a cool guy

dim flower
#

yea skelly companion is alright
