casts can backstab and get +35% bonus damage to backstab (only cast)
ah
52 runs in and achilles finally decided to let me unlock the hidden aspect for varatha
Tisiphone: Murderer.
Zagreus: Stop calling me a murderer or I will kill you to prove my point.
i saw this meme on reddit just this morning
you are being condemned to eternal twitter scrolling for stealing memes
I finally cleared the fated list and there was no achievement
I just realized the game never saved my 40 heat fist and sword runs
what the hell
I have the victory screens
rip
You're a liar and Hades knows it
it says best 40 on the side right there no?
4 drop the 0
That's the old SS
Also that's a picture from the past. Not his current runs
something happened with the save I think
let me finish this run and ill see what it says
DAMN FO2 CHARIOTS
Am I doing something wrong? I haven't seen one legendary fish
Yes, that something is ||your luck||
do you know how to do perfect catches?
you can only see legendary fish if you do perfect catches
so it's timing based
im assuming you know how to catch a fish
perfect catch is exactly that, but faster
a trick is to cover the bouy just enough with your finger and look for a flash of light atop said finger
it improves your reaction because you don't need to worry about the fake bops
oh thank you!
fool
that was
slightly different
Excellent.

Got my third dose today, time to use my new powers to beat 65 heat 
😎
Am I the only one getting tiny updates for Hades on Steam every day? (< 80 Kb)
Omg, EM3 Theseus looks ridiculous.
I need help
what do you need help with?
Curse of Longing isn’t too shabby, ngl. It’s like one of those QoL thing, I just need to inflict Doom once, and just keep refreshing the Weak with Aphro dash or attack
Neat
well still gotta refresh doom or else the damage will be ass
And Smoldering Air is quickly becoming my favorite duo boon nowadays, just spamming Zeus calls is good, with Billowing Strength and Jolted
yeah smouldering air is really good
Really? I don’t see the Doom goes down, it keeps hitting over and over again as long as I have Weak active on said enemy
When I i die I have to restart the whole game?
the damage halves every tick unless you reapply it
Just the whole run, not the whole game
Ahh, I see
tis a rougelite
no, just need to do it again (from the first biome)
mirror upgrades stay
amoung other things
I beat tartarus
And now I died Im back in Taratrus
ya
So the successive hit damage: 50% means it got halved every single tick. Got it. Well, knowing that now, it feels suck lol
yep lmao
It's decent.
I have to play it AGAIN???????
The game itself is short, if you’re wondering. The gameplay loop here is that you traverse all the biomes (Tartarus, Asphodel, etc) over and over again
That’s how roguelites are
So I now play it from the beginning pain
it can take less than 15 minutes to do a whole run if youre good and have the upgrades
Like
I just lost all my abilities
not boons
The challenge here is basically you trying to complete it again with higher difficulty, or speedrunning it, if you’re into that

The god abilities
That wasn’t me
👍
And for me rn, getting eight nectar to advance the story.
Trading keys for nectar is great for filling out hearts.
If u got enough gemstones and u already used the gemstones for the cosmetics for the house
noo
Does Supergiant collect any aggregated stats on Hades (e.g. average number of runs before first win). I'd be interested to know if i was ahead or behind the curve.
what run did u get your first win?
40 ish, but some runs before that were farming and testing weapons/boons, so not expected to succeed.
way behind then
80ish for credits and 115 or so for epilogue.
Fair enough. I'd be interested in the true stats of they collect them. Boon choices would be fascinating too.
And boon choices and people do more runs might tell an interesting story.
20-40 is the usual range for first clears
amogus
yo is eurydice in asphodel still in game? I've done about 10 runs after a long break from the game and didn't see her once.
blame RNGesus
yeah I mean the chance of that happening seemed too low so I just thought they deleted it lmfao. Maybe there are some prerequisites for her to appear I weren't getting often
My mod Pony's Quality of Life has a feature that lets you always encounter Sisyphus, Eurydice and Patroclus
im not a cheater
well it's cheating if you intent to use it as a cheat.
it's a feature if you use it to make the game more enjoyable to you.
equipped the ares keepsake
hoping for blade rift
poseidon comes along and gives me fish 😭
Fimsh
shoot
Do ask
Is it ever confirmed when exactly Hades takes place? Ive always thought around modern times due to the food, gears in the areas between realms of Hades, etc
presumably in antiquity because they refer to various historical characters like Gilgamesh, Arthur, Guan Yu, etc. as future warriors.
I’d guess it would be somewhat near the 19th century maybe
Since exagryph would be a slight time stamp maybe
as for the world design, i think that's just so we have a bit more varied gameplay
I like how Lore Olympus does it
they dev didn't care too much about keeping things consistent tech wise, they just put things that makes sense for the game
they said that in an interview
Lore olympus is great
Makes gods millennia quicker, technology wise than mortals
so i won't look into the existence of a literal machine gun as proof of hades happening in modern time
Oh yea no
Thats the like college Olympus one right?
yeah
I need to get around to reading that
More of a retelling of how Hades and Persephone got together, but yes, I suppose "college Olympus" explains it as welll
It's very pretty and I like the character design - but we're getting off topic
If you're dating the game based on food, then gyros (the healing meal you get) originated in 1922
Aren't there also Fast Food like fries? I remember seeing those
And... You can't really date it based on weapons
iirc greg said supergiant do have a specific point in time in mind when hades takes place... but they arent going to reveal it haha
I don't evem know where the banana spear came from or how it even stabs people
yeah the food icon is burger and fries lol
Yeah
Hah
did you know that in the earliest stage of development, Theseus was supposed to be the main character?
theres some concept art of that stage floating around and its really cool
Gods no
I mean, it'd work great
Yeah but imagine seeing his face with every bit of dialogue
It isn't like any of the olympians who had well-established canon
I imagine they'd tone down his annoying factor by 100 lmao
But yeah my point is that they'd have lots of creative space if they picked theseus as protag as well
He's an intentionallu annoying and unlikable character, he'd probably be closer to zag if he was the main character
I feel bad for Asterius
Although they'd be more limited since Theseus has much more written about him than zag
sleeping simulator
actually a game about welcoming shades to the house of hades could be kind of funny
The thing is, you can write off-canon stuff and it'd still come out great
Inherent nature of anything athenian
Including the king
You get to rewrite history into the most badass version of you
Also
What are those skulls on Zagreus?
https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/5/22315749/hades-theseus-worst-character-zagreus-supergiant
heres the article with the concept art btw
... a three-headed dog skull? 
what
you asked about the skulls
lmao
stop 💀
@brisk trail keep it clean, please
Hey uh question is ||Temple of Styx|| considered a spoiler?
All spoilers are allowed in this channel
Poison and minibosses can be tough
Though I agree Elysium is harder
Also those like snakestones were somehow easier to deal with then even their Tartarus counterparts
At least 1 v 1 they were
Should I get aspect of Poseidon or Demeter?
i'd say demeter
if you like doing cast builds then poseidon is fun. otherwise demeter yeah
probably go with dem then
i do think poseidon is fun to play but you get more out of it if you're building around your cast
Aight
but the build is the fun stuff 😔
Maybe Posedion would be good to try and learn builds
maybe worth a shot! doing builds doesn't have to be about finding the Objectively Best way to play, equally fun to just experiment with things
what if the next hypothetical update allows players to play as meg, theseus, asterius, achilles, etc
meg can just spam meg summons
one thing i found super helpful when learning was to start coin purse then take whatever boon i got and made it work for myself
but if you start off with like, splash dash
or athena dash
that'll be a good start like no matter what lol
Splash Dash sounds like a theme park ride
Like at a Percy Jackson theme park
the real theme park is when you get to styx with splash dash
and do the hallway rooms in like
two seconds
and feel like a badass
Wait wait wait
what if there was a update for a Percy Jackson NPC?
no
Yes
maybe he does exist just on olympus where we can see or meet him
funny I joined the discord and my game decides to crash
I got a question
is there a mod that adds more gods to the game?
How do I deepen my relationship with Skully? I was told its by getting 4 non Zagreus aspects
Wait he wants to talk now
epic
That would be an ambitious project
yeah
but given the size of the community, maybe?
thats just hades 2 lol
balancing it would be a challenge lol
true
it's a single player game, i would argue balancing is the least of the concerns tbh
but is there a mod that adds more boons to existing gods tho
I don't wanna kill him
there isn't unfortunately
Aw feelsbad
😔
I did make a proof of concept for Hestia, with 5 working boons
Apollo boons
but we're missing too much key technology to make it right
The technology is not there yet
Does Apollo's plume work in the last area? With all the mini encounters?
hermes*
Only the last one in each chamber
only the final tunnel room counts
So it probably isn't worth it
however the logic of how tunnels count are not consistent
No prob not
Also how do I nickname myself for a specific server?
On phone or?
Basically, each tunnel counts for Pom Blossom and for leveling keepsakes but only the last room counts for the Plume & the Butterfly.
Ok
On phone
Oop! Found it!
Kay
I need nickname ideas having to do with Gilgamesh fists..... Hmmmmm
They're my favorite weapon
Gilgamesh, more like Gigameh, am I right
Also it's my first time goin against full extreme measures Hades. Should I go acorn?
Tooth
Okie
Good luck
Acorn is fine i think
Either
Like the minions he summons?
Yeah but you can also dodge those attacks

acorn >>> everything else for 3rd / 4th boss survival
Can also dodge hades attacks by that logic
Hades attacks are harder to dodge
Especially when he throws the spear and rush more often now
tooth might be useful if you are on a high heat run with SD but did not get any extra DD via Chaos or Athena
but otherwise, Acorn
It's a trade off, that's my point
Um.... Is Achilles trinket good? Defence?
Ngl I've won against EM4 once during an actual high heat run, and I did take acorn
for defence/survival, collar - tooth - acorn
i forgot what his thing was
But that wasn't the acorn that won it for me
ah yes escaping is a minor prophecy
collar is less useful once you unlock Thick Skin
so most of the time it's between tooth and acorn
For info I have three DD
I like it, especially for Styx poison help.
acorn is better for both heroes and hades
Acorn or tooth is up to personal preference, then
Spearpoint is decent actually
Just pick either
It works against POISON?
I take tooth for EM3 because Asterius miniboss is hard
spearpoint is good
acorn is even better with EM3
It delays the poison damage giving you more time to get to the wells.
That's amazing
So I'm right before the last area and still dunno what I'd wanna use... X3
i think spearpoint will be a fair choice for em4 so that you dont get death combo'd
also styx
This is also true.
you'll be fine
Hopefully I can buy one
I wouldn't
i like how i first got small vermin after like 50 clears but now it feels like it pops up all the time lmao
I'm at the boss room!! Got like two more boons from other rooms
What does Decathlete on victory screen mean?
I SO wish he dropped his cloak to reveal stupid buff arms like the Dedede fight in Star Allies with EM4
I just harassed tisiphone with the sheild
10 win streak
rip
Congrats!
lol casually gets win streak
casts aren't very great imo
unless you get something with zues or artemis
some of the boons kinda make it suck more
60 damage is very low for me
You need to try some of the cast-focused weapons
Casts are good
Poseidon, Achilles, Beowulf and very powerful
You can pom casts?
Get Mirage Shot too
If you get a boon for them, sure
Lightning Phalanx is good room clear
What's the highest pact heat cleared? Just curious
Aphro cast? It's stupid strong
61
Technically 64 routed but 61 is "natural"
It’s one of the more dangerous casts, but it has the highest damage per shot
huh
Aphro cast with Hera bow is yesssssss
Sometimes I wish there were ways to practive with boons on skelly
Mod is your friend
Still don’t like it very much as well though, because it sucks on Poseidon, not AoE
The big issue with Aphro's cast is the range is terrible but it is high damage.
That'd be nice
Imagine playing on PC, couldn't be me
I play on pc with a gamepad
If I can mod the game on the Switch, I’ll do it in a heartbeat
Easier to practice speed runs
Doesn’t Steam have easy modding solutions nowadays?
Modding is ez once you do it the first time
Well, there’s a mod that modified how the Skelly practice works, easy experimenting
Really that just seems to be a rule for any game
That’s what you want, right?
that requires a hacked switch
I would mod Hades, not my Switch though 
Modding mostly includes downloading things from nexusmod, copy pasting files, occasionally renaming things.
Very advanced I tell you. Should only be done by computer experts with 10 years of experience.
exactly
I wish Hypnos was romanceable...
Hackerman engaged
Modding switch is super risky
Easy to brick your switch and then Nintendo will laugh at you if you ask for help
how yo get shield hidden aspect
Talk to chaos, they'll give the phrase
details about all the hidden aspects are pinned in #h1-story-discussion
you'll get there
Will Hades ever get any form of story DLC?
DLC? you mean things I pay for to get extra content?
not very downloadable when I can't afford it
It will not, games complete
Alright thanls
Can always make headcannon
Sorry if I sound mean or anything, don't mean to
Covid booster shot doing things to me
On #3, first one gave me just a sore arm too
What do yall think is the hardest boss excluding the final boss
Charon
bull man
Bone Hydra

Best boons for malphon?
So with the fists and lambent plume, how much dodge chance can I get?
I’m running default malphy rn
normally plume goes to 32.x% of dodge chance (assuming you get each proc), you need other hermes boons if you wanna reach 100%
They allow 100% dodge?
not always but yes
pretty sure dodge is multiplicative
I'm liking fists more and more
ruthless reflex is +50% dodge chance by narrowly dodging an attack for 2 secs
Wait what do fists do for dodge?
zag fists give 15% dodge chance
Oooo
Talos fists, draining cutter and the aoe landing great.
Also how do you spell the name of the rail? Exagryph?
Add Poseidon special and it's pinball
eggsagriff
aint it a bit easy to get 100% then 
What makes Demeter so good on malphon?
demeter aspect of fists is great 
fast attacks apply chill quickly but id go zeus probably 
I don't think it is, but I assume since you hit fast you get to 10x chill easily on Hestia
she has rare crop
and uh
uh
idk
you can apply a lot of stacks of chill, i suppose, but i think people are talking about demeter aspect when theyre talking about demeter being good on fists
fast weapons usually want zeus attack cuz lightning go brrr
Kek
and what makes demeter aspect good is that giga cutter hits hard 
I've done whole runs with Talos where I literally didn't use attack once. Special and cast all the way.
Talos and Crush Shot.
why does eveyone sound british if they're greek
when i used talos i never noticed the extra cast damage lmao
tbf when i used it i just readed "pull enemies" brought it asap and that was when i started the game
aka when you dont use cast bc it seems useless 
It goes so well with Crush Shot. Pull em in, nuke em, get cast back.
If I’m gonna go merciful end, who’s attack is better?
dionysus
here are some answers:
#ask-supergiant message
#ask-supergiant message
#ask-supergiant message
I reckon ares on attack, right?
Although Athena seems better with all the deflects
Guess I gotta get good deflecting with special 
Hades music is good music
big
you dont use special to trigger ME 
just to get it in 1st place
y athena so strict with duo
"too op, pls nerf"
like a greek accent 
Kinda hard to type an accent in. YouTube will have "learn Greek" videos.
It's not similar to much.
Not similar to Italian or Spanish for example (though they are a bit similar to each other by being Romance languages)
Greek is greek and predates most lanugages around it.
Which where derived from Roman/Latin.
What’s better between Eris and Achilles?
uh achilles for cast build is better but eris in general is better than achilles
Eris requires fewer brain cells to get the same result
achilles needs flurry jab if you arent going for a cast build
Achilles slaps but if you don’t get the duo cast you wanted til late can be tough
Eris literally Zeus attack to win
Aight thanks
And for the Mirror of Night:
Family Favorite vs Privileged Status
God’s Legacy vs God’s Pride
Family Favorite is more consistent and thus better. God's Legacy vs. God's Pride is a question of if the build you are going for needs Duos or Legendaries.
priv stat 4 boss
fam fav 4 rest of game
my rule of thumb: if im opening aphrodite or dionysus or someone where i'll get status regardless or want status regardless, ill go p stats, but otherwise fam fav (prob run pstats 25% of the time). re legacy/pride - if i'm like "i want to do smoldering air" or "i want crystal beam" then legacy, otherwise not
but for achilles, legacy for sure
if your goal is hunting blades/meme beams
Best boons for chiron bow?
aphro attack, artemis/dio special, and then get some duo boons
I’ve got base Chiron now atm cuz I have such little experience with the bow
What if I went pure Artemis 
lvl 1 aint great
you kinda really want aphrodite for heart rend
Although I love these two aspects
Damn that’s a good duo
Never gotten this before even in my first save file
if you dont have much titan blood you can also upgrade zag bow
its really good actually
Oh I don’t have any titan blood
I’ll just stick with Chiron for now
especially since I really just like it’s design
Chiron bow at level 1 is nowhere near as good as at level 5, but it would still work reasonably well with Zeus special (2 lightning blasts per hit vs 3 from maxed bow is acceptable)
that works 
Well I haven’t actually chosen anything yet but
I’ve got triple shot, concentrated and relentless volley

Triple shot seems bad
its better with other aspects
Is concentrated good?
Take relentless
Seems like it
Concentrated becomes good with max level
concentrated is the best. with max level chiron
But for now take relentless
K then. I’ll try to get both
That’ll play like a level 4 aspect, which is worth the hammer choice
Lol emotes
Whatever happens happens with the other hammer
triple + max zag bow = boss melt
What special you taking
or anything melt
Artemis
Heart rend
Yup
Yup
click button bad guy die
and take some chaos gates for poggers special damage
yep
Kk
I love chaos money boons lol
Oh for effs sake 
First chamber rewards me to go to Aphrodite and chaos
Chaos might not show up again but I have Aphrodite’s keepsake on rn
Noted 
and on heart rend, you want aphro attack artemis special not the other way around
but you could also artemis attack dionysus special lol
ok imma do a chiron run rn too
youve inspired me
well you can backstab with chiron 
Uh why did one of my keepsakes expire?
which
Spiked Collar
also uh expire as in cant equip it?
Yeah you can’t take a keepsake off and put it back on in same run
^ zat
The rewards have been pretty good and non-strange atm
nice. i mean like, when i'll get a random demeter and think, what the hell, ice special this time (with like, eris rail, fists, shield etc)
while i may have avoided dem otherwise
I GOT ARTEMIS
I could have sworn I was using a different keepsake lol
Protecc the Goddess
What rewards can I change into boons other than other boons? I wanna try and get as many Hermes as possible
you can only get 3 hermes boons per run
you can get a third one in the styx shop
Sidon my beloved
bouldy
Special attack melts...
Hypnos is adorable, but Hermes is great :3
Yeah once you get heart rend you’ll be happy
Relentless volley is a good second hammer now, would highly eecommend Athena keepsake for asphodel to get a lil defense
sorundr
yeah probably sorundr
Does anyone else really hate FO2?
FO2?
There’s no element F?
What aspect?
Eris
just kill it lmao
True
slapper on them looker
3 damn purple heads at each side of the field, all shooting one after the other
Is that the damage reduction one
Yeah it's pretty good I guess
God I can't stand FO2
then dont use it 
Should I stick to my aphro keepsake to try and find heartrend or Artemis’?
I reckon Artemis to pump up the insane crit damage 
Might need to pump up weak damage too though
I’ll do the switch after asphodel then
If you switched to the heroic Aphrodite special you won’t get the crits necessary unfortunately
if you kept Artemis, then Artemis
Oh I didn’t lol
That’d be stupid
Ok word
battle rage beo is a work of art
You shoulda switched to Artemis since you get a rarity buff and another Artemis boon would have been more helpful, but also if you get heart rend now it’s moot lol
I’m gonna start up a Chiron run myself here lol
Good thing I never left the hallway then 
I’m actually just lying on the couch 
at that rate imma finish my chiron run before you 
well hermes will come up later anyways 🤷♂️
but he also might swap out another god you wanted 
Cursed slash is so stressful to use
r u runnin td
lol i picked distant memory in the beginning to level it so ive ended up with a hybird cast chiron build with ares cast with an extra bloodstone from chaos and artemis special with aphro atrack
LOL
I got another backstab bonus

Can that stack?
Idk if it’s additive or not
crit damage/damage reduction are the only multiplicative things iirc?
maybe there is other things but idk
yo got my last achievement done
I have no idea 😂
now i finally dont have to keep picking useless keepsakes 
Does anyone know what could possibly have happened to my save?
I used to have 30 clears with the sword
now I have 28
and 27 with fists
now it's 25
I lost my 40 heat runs with both those weapons
30 -> 29 on spear and 33->32 on sheild
50-> 45 on bow
and 40->38 on rail
like what
Sweet surrender 
bruh this is just straight up a hunting blades build now
i have 4 bloodstones along with stygian rn 
Is there any way to defeat Asterius in the midboss fight?
what do you mean? like, fully killing him? no
write in #h1-tech-support? maybe its corrupted?
DOT effects or a perfect timed beowulf shot
It seems decay keeps damaging him even after he tells you to stop
this happened after a I opened up my PC from a 1 week vacay and a windows update
How’s Artemis dash with my build?
I shouldn’t even be asking tbh Artemis is what I need more of lol
I don't really like Ares cast as much in that it doesn't lodge
How do I send pics...
You have to send it as a discord link
so just send it to like an alt or inactive account or private server and copy the link
arte dash is good w bow yea
not as much for chiron though
also uh
could be worse
i just got vicious cycle with 4 casts on stygian soul and hunting blades 
on chiron bow
theres literally no point in using the special anymore
Lol
and i have aphro atk/arty special with hend rend even 
Which hammer do you reckon is best?
Explosive shot I remember being pretty good but I doubt it for my build
I’m guessing it’s better for zag bow
yeah really good with zag
Wouldn't the one that gives damage on consecutive hits of the special be good with charon bow
Godess of love is the best, and has all the best boons
Why yes I would bed the goddess of love 
Hangover and Doom on Rama seems really powerful
No no no we need the goddess of love ❤️ she has the best boons
Aphrodite has some unnerving succubus vibes

Well a succubus just wants to manipulate and drain people
Aphrodite is the best, I won’t hear a bad word against her 😦
That’s why Aphrodite is better
Aphrodite gaves you the best boons and supports you all the way
Why are you simping so hard for an Olympian... They're all horrible
I ain't messing with nobody that can have me dammed for all eternity
Yous ain’t getting it, Aphrodite is the way to go
This sounds like a cult though.
Those weren't rare in ancient Greece
She’s got the best boon boon boons
Now you sound like a shop
While I’m also an Aphrodite shill this is borderline cultish 
Aphrodite brings you to the end with her kisses
She literally doesn't
Ah aphrodite..the boons you gave me and helped me through the stages…I’ll never forget you
😔
He's gone
He’s gone off the deep end 
Strange women lying in poms distributing kisses is no basis for a system of power…
For without you, I really truely couldn’t make it to the end …
@high island please take your cultist away.
Aphrodite with her boon boon boons , then someone say eho! Eho!
I'm starting to worry what the end means in this context
He does a bit of trolling
A little bit
Aphrodite boon boon boon, she want you in her room boon boon boon she wants a double boon
depens on weapon
fists
no
Aphrodite
Artemis
Aphrodite
no
This is gone from confusing to funny
Aphrodite likes to giggle and it makes her pink hair shake
kidding aside, i think it could work if you get something like heavy knuckle.
otherwise, zeus on attack is probably better than aphro.
also which fists?
Aphrodite aphrodite make you laugh make you think
You only like her because of the lack clothing
bruh
Why yes
bad argument
Ah but her hair fills in for that, ooh and her boons
Weak is a great status effect
Aphrodite will save us all
Question about the hammer upgrade .. if I see it and don't take it in act 1, will I ever see that one again?
I mean yeah basically with damage reduction effects you become really survivable
you can pretty confidently skip hammers until, like, elysium
the game wants you to reach the final boss with 2 hammers
You grassed me up! Aphrodite !!!
Okay so I'd get 2 hammers in Elysium? Without having to buy one
Based nonsensical rambling 
not guaranteed, but generally likely yeah
What if in act 1 the first hammer I see is for sale? And I skip that one
.. if that's even possible
if you keep skippin hammers you'll eventually end up with no hammers, but if you'd rather take somethin else then that's fine
ignoring a hammer will not reduce your chances of seeing another hammer
Ok but which hammer should I take 
Chain, explosive or triple shot
Aphrodite, the queen of boons
which bow?
Chain
Chiron
None of those are on your special so ig whatever
True
ah on chiron you really want the special hammers
Where you saying Aphrodite or boo-urns ?!
avoid explosive on chiron because attack isn't your main damage probably
Just got my 2nd clear :) 1st rail 2nd Achilles
Motherless behavior
yes
Oh no fizzy is back
Aww #just one taste and I’m…diet aphrodite#
Diet Aphrodite
I got atrophic defiance
hes speaking the language of the gods
I wanted the special bonus damage boon but this is great
Ooh no Muck back ! He kicked my ass the last time !
What
Oh yes, Aphrodite !
You grassed me up aphrodite !
You didn’t need to tell the police about them illegal boons
wtf
Oh yeah I forgot
I called the police on fizzy
I think that's what they are talking about
snitches get stitches
welp. meme beam with both duos and bad news 
Yeah, me and Aphrodite was going to get high on boon dust
I found out why hades dash uppercut is weaker then his normal uppercut
unlucky with no demeter or artemis in styx door tho
he uses his non-dominant hand

If I’m at Max death defiance’s, will I just get an extra from atrophic defiance?
aint his attacks stabs and sweeps
Yes
Then Aphrodite was going use the xtra darkness to go shopping with
Did she now? 
???????????????
Indeed
Oh yes, Aphrodite likes going shopping for new clothes and Costa coffee
She doesn't wear clothes
With all her darkness
And thank God for that
Ooh yes, Aphrodite loves her double expressos with xtra boons
She hasn't told me anything about double espressos.
Ooh yes, Aphrodite loves double espressos with milk and boons
I thought that was DIO

But Aphrodite not allowed in most shops due to her “no clothes”
Anyone got tips for fighting Hades? My main problem right now is losing all my health before his second phase
Don't get hit
I just melted Hades 3 in 10 seconds with Zeus/Poseidon/Dionysus Lucifer
Whole fight took 1.5 minutes, probably would have been just 1 if not for his invicinbility
Aphrodite
Dionysus lucifer?
Aphrodite
Athena Dodge will help you a lot with extra i-frames, Hermes can give you more dashes to completely bypass his spinning attack, and the shield makes you completely invincble from the front when using it.
Oh yeah speaking of
Hades has taught me one thing
NEVER underestimate people who have shields as their primary weapons
So you are still working on your first clear?
Yes
What weapons do you have? If its possible for you to get Achilles Spear, it's a very powerful weapon.
meme beme 
Every single run I pray to Hecate to not get the Witches coven cause they absolutely destroy at least 1 Death Defiance
Aphrodite
Can you please stop?
Athena Deflection solves that fight. Deflecting with a spear works really good since its a straight line ahead of you. And Athena Dash is basically the best dash overall, especially for new players and at higher heats
Question
What are heats?
thing you unlock after first clear
it's better if you don't know
Heat is the difficulty modifer you unlock after your first completion
it's pain
Ah thanks
I would recommend trying a run with the Spear, Athena, Aphrodite, and Ares as your gods. Get Athena Dash, Aphrodite Attack, and Ares special. Enhance Doom as much as possible, and take the Explosive Launcher Hammer if you can
No it's fun
even if you dont have deflect, witch projectiles are gotten rid of easy enough with big area stuff like bow special and spear dash attack
yesn't
it hurts so good.
I was thinking of using the fists or shield next
Aphrodite and Athena will give you lots of defense, and Ares deals good damage. You can add Dionysus for more utility or Artemis for more damage.
But Spear could be fun especially to mess with Hades
I wanna buy the hammer at the shop but uhhh
What if I get rid of my relentless volley 
Fists is good too. It hits a lot, so consider using Zeus or Dionysus Attack to get lots of lighting and posion hits. Shield isn't my favorite personally.
nothing ventured nothing gained
It's a 50/50 chance.
if you havent spent all your titan blood yet you can stick it in zag bow. zag bow is cool
I know
Yesterday I got Cursed Sword on Arthur at the end, which I thought was my doom. I actually stomped lol
I have zero titan blood
cursed slash on arthur is big brain 
Not when it happens against your will lol
Guys pray for me
No
I LOST RELENTESS VOLLEY

Aphrodite
SNIPER SHOT POGGERS
What is sniper shot?
Aphrodite
Sniper Shot does more damage at greater range. 200% at max
I’m running a special attack build
Concentrated volley is more DPS than relentless volley anyway, you got a good deal
I blocked that Aphrodite guy
But lvl 1 chiron
Would like me relentless volley AND concentrated though
Actually maybe not, just saw that
As I only have 4 arrows otherwise
uh btw you can kinda save scum the anvil
It lets me quit out even after using the anvil
like that
but I get the same stuff
Arthur?
No just don't take the anvil
yeah but you can grab it then if it sucks just quit out
Hidden 4th Aspect of the Sword.
#h1-story-discussion in pins
Fizzy stop
No, they are usually side story unlocks basically
its uh kinda weird
I got twin shot instead of sniper this time
Is the way to unlock massive spoilers or minor ones?
also
Not really spoilers.
But you can't unlock them until after your 1st clear at least I believe
pog
Time to face the final boss 
Died
That’s enough hades for today 
Time for dmc
Family favorite or privilege status?
Depends on your planned build
and how confident you are that you can get two status curses
Got a question for y'all
does knocking back enemies count as them "moving" to trigger razor shoals
I remember I tried super soaker lucifer but didn't have razor shoals and it was kinda meh
Yes
So in theory...
it could be really damn good
if I get the attack damage bonus, than sea storm damage, than razor shoals damage, and then damage from knocking em into walls
how good would second wave be in that? i'm not too sure how it works
Second wave only good if you get sea storm
And I don't know if second wave deals any damage without sea storm
it doesn't
but how does it work when you constantly apply knockaway with sea storm
does it always proc double sea storm for each hit of the attack?
Good boons for nemesis sword?
I’m guessing Artemis although I happened to get aphro
It has a cooldown
Then again Aphrodite is always good
Got it
Artemis attack, aphro special, heartrend
Also get Artemis dash and chaos d strike and attack boons
i remember when I did a tidal dash, sea storm, 2nd wave and splitting bolt build
tidal dash procced sea storm and splitting bolt
Dash?
then after a short delay, there was another knockback and other sea storm and bolt
Or reroll it if you have those
Can’t I just restart the run
