Having to go trough that for a little coin ain't worth it that much
doesnt make sense either because charon wasnt suppose to be stronger than hades
yeah it's a weird fight. tartarus he is hard because you are not strong. he's a bit of a pushover in elysium imo
he's a secret boss so the difficult spike is all over the place
which is also why he is optional ig
ahh i see
fighting charon with hl5 and fo2 sounds uh not fun
so i dont need that gold
Makes sense, he uses the sheer wrath of capitalism
Most secret bosses scaling dont make sense in games. They are ALWAYS stronger than final bosses lol
i disagree tbh
secr
Ok so I just discorvered how to upgrade the weapons lol I’m slow. But do u only get to use on upgrade at a time ?
And i bet hades doesn't really fight at full strenght, he could defeat titans after all
kinda true. dark souls can back u up on this
I'm glad you were honest.
yeah it's a "different" weapon
so you can only have one trait at a time active
Ahh makes sense
but once youve got it down you take less damage from charon than hades usually
wdym one at a time?
at least for me
charons difficultly is mainly the lack of practice you get
yeah
oh ya. there's a theory saying hades give zag a chance actually
I dunno if damage = difficulty tho
also having crappy damage depending on where you fight him
For example the spear. When u use titans blood to upgrade a weapon, do u only get to use one of the abilities at a time?
yeah
i already answered your question.
If you want to see charon fight only, here is a whole host.
yeah. they are different weapons as someone said
that mod fox? not good for being in the rules
You can only use one aspect at a time, and depending on what aspect you use they have unique hablities that only that specific aspect can use
supergiant should make more secret bosses! please... there's so many greek mythology can be put as secret bosses! put them as an expansion! like medusa, perseus, krakken, so many iconic greek myth
....medusa is already in the game
?
do u mean duse
It's just dusa
maid dusa 
yeah
that's medusa??? why????
she is kinda annoiyng
it duse? he got in game from olden time lore from greekens lol
not confirmed, but that's the general theory i think
she's the most iconic fiercesome villain in greek. pls make her a secret boss
Oh my god it just snapped for me it makes so much sense now
well we already have gorgons in the game?
HUH? WHERE?
asphodel 
2nd zone
well watermelon, it not for confirm since he not called medusa, onlin dusa so it not greeken for sure
but i do agree that hades is a bit light on optional secret stuff
the ones that you know turn you to stone
I'm pretty sure dusa is medusa
i think apple and watermelon should be friends haha
who say that rod?

ahh ok so medusa checks out
that not true, he call dusa not that lol
but krakken... cmon that is the most iconic greek myth too! he should be in secret boss! and dont tell me that 2nd boss fight is krakken =.=
'dusa' 'medusa'

yep doesnt ring a bell
2nd boss fight is hydra lol
hydra and kraken different beasts
And doesn't want to talk about the time she was decaptitated because "she was a different person back then"
ok, in this i asking for difine answer for sure, he call dusa and not modusa, so it not modusa? that for sure to me
it is implied
say who? hadee dad not say it
read above lol
is supergiant games working on expension of hades? is it too late if i want to request more secret boss?
i know this is stupid
but i could try
how can u say its implied when nowhere in the lore is it explicitly implied
DLC would do really well in Hades but afaik nothing is in works
aww man
explicitly implied
they makeing a new game my friend
if hadees dad not say it modusa, then it dusa, that what he want ot be called, it rude to call and assume he different
I don't think they really need to point out something that obvious
YOU'RE SERIOUS?
that's not DLC
alright!!!
TRUE
TRUE
Don't you find it pretty ODD that Medusa has an entirely different personality in the game?
make more awesome game
Maybe her full name reminds her of the days when she was a monster before dying
IF it really is Medujsa
this medusa discussion is funny hahaha
She did say she was a different person back when she was alive and doesn't want to talk about it
is there an official dusa personality book somewhere?
also how would you consider Theseus
OHH wait! is that a reference of when she was evil????
he seems different than the myth, is he not the same person?
so medusa is cannon in this game
evil reference
rod, not listening for sure this time? dusa say not for sure taht modusa him, but hadee dad not sayin it for sure too and no one say modusa, only dusa, let dusa be dusa ok?
What do you mean by that
Theseus is a king
he is deserving of respect
my point is the devs definitely took liberty with the source materials
so far there's so many cannon greek characters in the myth too. but so far, there's no nyx and that skeleton guy in the myth lore
so the fact that dusa personality isn't exactly the same with what you expect from the myth says nothing.
i think those two are made up characters
the same way with theseus
in fact theseus was supposed to be the main character in hades preconception
Nyx is one of the most important characters in greek myths bruh
fox, this in the timeing for dalseyhoods ? it saying for taht the great lore it good from, not real though
Skelly doesn't exist tho
uh yeah nyx is actually in greek mythology
skelly is supposed to be the ghost of odysseus
iirc
oh really? crap .. ok i gotta research and read up nyx then
Wha
but skelly... aww hope he is real
Fr?
yeah it's not confirmed but it's there
she is ugly
up to you if you like to believe it or not, i do :^)
why say that dusa is modusa? be causing they have long hair? it snakes, cmon !
omg i just read up0 nyx
No one is ugly in hades tbh
please dont assume medusa to be ugly
medusa is never ugly
Dusa is pretty annoying in personality
@still cove Morphious is ugly, she have greasy hair lol
Besides, medusa was half god and half human turned into a gorgon by athena, might make sense she isn't as dumb as the other gorgons and doesn't feel any appreciation towards them
Aphrodite, Meg, Tisephone, Hades, Sysuphus
WAIT I GOT SOMETHING INTERESTING
They're all beautiful you're trippin
how are aphrodite or meg ugly lol
charon is a child of nyx!

Lol so true
nah charon is hottest character
and somehow thinking alecto is not ugly but meg is
not judging your taste but yeah
Charon is pretty ugly, fite me
im only a simp towards artemis
Bouldy is the hottest character, obviously
not everyone has to agree
subjectivity 
i think many people are a simp to artemis lol
Alecto ugly too
tissy is pretty much a mummy though
what even has this chat become 
Alecto is hot tho
meg and alecto are both hot
really? aww. Artemis got that tsudere character
ironic given what she stands for (though i do like artemis)
Smh no arty romance path 
what does she stands for? pls tell me. im really interestd
rod, that in propriate, cmon dude!
Artemis, in Greek religion, the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation and of chastity and childbirth
Yeah. Artemis is such a BABE
Artemis is pretty cute ngl
kind weird that it only childbirth and not adult birht lol
chasitity? what???
She is often interpreted as an asexual character
greekens weird too
Well she literally asked Zeus to never let her marry, or lose her purity
Oh yeah, because you are born as an adult
artemis got that "baka" kinda thing going on
Ye especially with arty-aphro interaction
this chat is weird too 
🦢
What does this mean
that's norse myth, which is another pantheon, but point taken.
why are we talking about norse mythology now 
think theyve watched 2 anime and know what baka means 
rod, this in propriate too, this not good, mod get mad at s*x talk cmon
Its a weeb thing, you wont understand 
oh wait that's norse
In fact arty is a very efficient killer
hmm there's should be a show or a game where norse and greek combine universe
are you trolling?
that will make so much money
why is chat degenerating faster 
It's not my fault everyone is so hot in this game
there is such a game and yes it did make a lot of money
what game is it?? pls tell me
||probably a child||
i am
huh?
DUIDE
that's the game?
Seeing how it talks most likely
YOU CAN'T POST THAT HERE
that not ok that off topic
erm ok...
this hadee not god war
im sorry. is it ok? 😦
Anyway, as i was sayin
rod, melon not it, he watermelon
im just got really excited over greek myth
rod this rude talk no good for this in here, i might be tell that at aggy
and norse
Gonna side with Jacob on that one
so i should talk sexually on game characters to make me not look like a kid?
Jacob, chill out, its still the game
ok noted
No. nono
Nonono
they just troll sometime watermelon, they play hadee too much
rod did it. he seems like an adult i assume
it in saying for the mean thing, but let us get to hadee discutalking!
You don't have to be an adult. Just be yourself my friend
I'm old enough to vote i mean 
rod, that not on topic, let talk about for to hadee please
it un conformtable in this for sure
let talk about boon and shield buff!
I cant read these
I'm talking about hades
what shield for strongest against hadee dad?
Talking about how the characters are damn pretty
that not topic, let stay for it ok?
I wouldn't take the shield. I'd take the Sword
so, shiled can be for stronger than spear?
Thats pretty on topic dw
Every man needs a sword
HAHAHAHA
Props to the designer cause gawd dayum
hmm, i thinking it time for the healing?
@granite ether
this making me feeling like not talk to hadee in discussion, say too many s*x thing this one
you can say sex, it's fine
I ain't saying nothing bad
Why this dude is so repressed in speech
i am lithua, that rude
I think he's from Lithuania
in this in talking for to how you type? that not making sense to me
You're going to make him feel bad bro
I'm just simping for fictional characters a little nothing wrong with that
i guessing it not ok for lithua to be in here for it then? that not ok
Much wrong with simping
this hadee discussion, not hadee simp? what you tri?
Nah, a lot of ppl here likes the characters
in lithua, we have time for the funs outside and talking, it not possible to marry cartton in lithua? can you in from your place?

honestly speaking, none of the characters in hades annoys me haha. they're all likable in their own way. props to SGG
Actually, I think so. We can marry pillows
that weird haha it in making the no sense
Rod will get a Hades body pillow...
For me skelly a little and dusa is mostly pretty annoying
look fam, no one says anything about you being Lithuanian, please don't pull the nationality card out of nowhere.
Yeah. Dusa is EXTREMELY annoying
Don't tempt me
anyway, also need for personal attacks in general
WHAT? skelly is so lovable ❤️ hahaha its ok everyone have their views
I genuinely hate Dusa.
I think he was justifying his bad english
? this hadee topic fox, this not good for to talk, let us hadee discuss
wow i didnt know dusa is unlikeable
i thinking inlazer gun can be strongest of all times! what boon for this sure i wonder?
everyone can have their own opinion ig
Honestly, it makes sense for you to like Dusa Melon. It just makes sense
zeus attack
i know what u mean. and my feelings got hurt 😦
She seems made for younger audience
Probably the high pitch and the stereotypical "ultra shy crush" theme onnndusa makes it annoying for some people
Nothing mean my friend
bruh lmao
what about skelly? he's soo awesome actually
rasyiqa?
what
Skelly is funny, weird accent tho
rayquaza?
that pokemon, not hadee for sure
sharigan on zeus ay?
yea! but i can tell your fav character is.... poseidon
what
How is this chat gets worse over time, havent visited here for like 10 month@manic bobcat
Would let zeus use me to make a new greek demigod know what i mean
Nah, i like artemis
not really, just tonight.
enough
Acted like I saw it
xD
taht cheating
I'm on a roll cmon
what
Plot hole time
Mhm my first 5 heat clear too
Just the update to an earlier question
did you get to the ending yet?
yay the game works 
5 heat is cool
Not yet but I'm close
neato
Ofc I was using the bow
bow supremacy 
^
think you should probably tone down your hostility against a fictional character, it's a bit off putting to see any time dusa gets brought up.
Henlo all and rest, I return and back!
☝️
oh, Hello Aggy! how to do in this day for you?
i wish u could fight her tho it would be cool
Hi hi, I'm doing alright thanks 
I would understand, but it isn't every time Medusa is brought up. I guess it just stays in your mind often
But I'll tone it down for you my friend.
that in that for sure prince, it makin the sense for that my friend
would appreciate it actually. there's nothing wrong with disliking characters but lets still try and keep it respectful ✌️
war is not peaceful my friend
i respect it when people have anthor opinion but it cool to be able to say my own
it fine in the time for it to be in rash, but it true on that war is strong and hurt

yeah @tall lotus my dad and incle both fought in war but they ok now
that good, hadee like your dad, in they strong too
maybe your dad and incle use shield too?
in a methaphor type of way yeah
I wonder this in for some time, why not able for to update loaded image in hadee discuss? i have mad funny mp4 hadee joke to tell
u can post link
@rough token in taht maybe you know answer? i think funny hadee mp4 is for to hadee discussion
Yeah, I wanna see it
hmmmmm. Jacob Ian maybe right, but it best to be alert for hadee when he come around in darknes
darkness for sure bad this time, they saying it long time in hadee lore
uummm, i thinking that it for aphrodite, voice acting for the dusa head if is kate higgin
Thanks my friend. I didn't even realize she also voices Aphrodite. That makes a lot of sense
this making the not sense for sure this time, i thiking that in for dusa head voice acting is that for to kate higgins person voice, for sure
censorship allow on discor now?
waiting for that one this time, that what i thinking for sure riddler
I guess it's not ok to be complimenting a real person at the expense of a fictional character
my bad 😁
i guessing for the someon who from the eastarn place, they likeing in that fake character for this one, but in lithua we like for the real life too so taht ok
Does anyone know if pulverizing blow will proc status effects twice?
it's two hits, so it would stack stuff like hangover, but not doom
it acts just like two separate but fast attacks
wazaaaaaaaa
whats a good aspect+hammer for zeus
i never take zeus unless going for sea storm im realising
achilles + flurry jab
eris + delta chamber
zeus shield + any hammer? idk whether pulverizing blow procs zeus
Assuming you mean aspect of Zeus (shield), then explosive return and charged shot are great
But after rereading what you said, my assumption was wrong 
zeus is good for anything that hits fast and does low damage per hit.
same as dio
which means rail is the ultimate match
bow you dont really want it on any. maybe put it on the special for zag or rama
explosive return seems counter intuitive on a shield you want to stay out
actually so does charged shot, how does that even work with zeus?
ty
any suggestions for other boons with eris+delta
you are thinking about charged flight
ye
you cant get charge flight with zeus
It just means you have to change your playstyle with it. But it's the best hammer on Zeus for both speedruns and high heat
According to Baj
Really? Better than charged shot?
Yep
But don’t you want Zeus special? Meaning ER doesn’t do a ton
i just thought the whole point of zeus was to keep the shield out with zeus flourish
Still spreads jolted and has double strike
making ER a bit weird
And scales better with global damage
No you don’t want to “keep it out”. You want to use it, but if you just keep it out then it will be doing less damage than if you use it tactically
huh
would be nice if the 2 best hammers that look the nicest for zeus actually worked with it lol
Wym?
From watching Baj, he seems to throw it at an enemy, and when it goes past the enemy, bull rush to it and catch it
dashing flight and charged flight both dont work with it
the dps increase would be immense
Id just watch his 64 heat routed VOD
if they worked with zeus i think they'd be bis
Just imagine a combination of chaos shield and Zeus shield
Well maybe but idk
That’s like saying exploding launcher should work with Guan Yu. It doesn’t really make sense so it’s hard to imagine how good it would be
Probably dread flight yeah
i don't think that's really comparable
exploding launcher basically does what guan yu's special does with 5 more base damage
dashing/charged flights increase the specials base damage by 200%
Right but I can’t really imagine charged Zeus shield. Like I don’t know how that would work. And dashing flight would not make any sense because would it move faster? I literally can’t imagine it
Well you’d have to charge it
i don't see how that's very hard to imagine though
just hold right click for a second before releasing

or q or w/e your keybind is
I’m not arguing about this
X on my controller
I just think it’s stupid to be upset about a hammer no being eligible when we can’t really even know how it would feel to use
i'm not upset about it i just said it would be nice
Well I don’t think it would be.
and to be fair you started any "argument" by questioning rmacinty lol
Huh??
What are you talking about

Help me out here guys cause I can't tell. Does Bull Rush from the shield have a similar mechanic to the Charged Shot from the bow? As in, if you release it with perfect timing you deal more damage?
You mean Perfect Shot?
And no, it doesn’t
To my knowledge, the only other thing with a perfect shot is Kinetic Launcher
And Minotaur Rush ofc
Because there is some kind of flash when I bull rush. No mino upgrade
without the hammer it doesn't have perfect shot
isnt there some heat option that removed mirror upgrades?
I assume if you juice it enough it will remove them all right?
yeah but you only do that if youre going over 40 usually
yeah, in that case roots seem insane
Yes, Routine Inspection
It’s not at all, remember that you’re gonna only have 5 minutes per region at that point, and will be facing 60% more enemies who have 30% more health
not even 40 heat will take them
how much is max heat?
Yeah also that
RI4 is the last pact that you'd ever take
64
64
ive seen 40 heat but i think it was RI2 not 3/4
If you take RI at 40 heat, you're going to have an easier time doing something else
Well that’s a stupid mistake. RI2 at 40 heat is a terrible terrible bad idea
I assume the game is actual hell at 64
god no dont take RI at 40
64 is currently unbeatable
highest is 63 but seeded (perfect RNG)
unseeded is 61
seeded did 64
Yeah I’m pretty sure Zeus shield did seeded 64
you can seed runs?
save file manipulation
Kinda
if you aren't super dependent boons then I do find that RI2 or AP2 is easier than the equivalent amount of hard labour
What?? Nooo never
there are worse things to be doing at 40 heat
No no no there kinda are not
That’s insane
You do what you find fun, but respectfully I think that’s an insane idea and you’re making things incredibly hard on yourself
HL5 is literally making the game twice as hard, if you only need 2 or 3 boons then RI isn't going to double the difficulty
I wouldn’t even take AP1 below 43 heat, let alone AP2 
What’s your heat PB?
45
Why do you keep trying to gatekeep opinions
Because I did 40 heat with all but 7 aspects, and 45 heat twice
If it works for them it works for them
Yes, I said this already
might not be the "best" but it works for them
I just think that RI2 or AP2 over Hard Labor is suicidal
I wouldn't be running on it a build that needs 5 different zeus boons to be good but if all I need is an attack, special and dash core boon then I find it easier
Yeah
And no money
half health earlier on
It’s like so much worse. HL10 would be easier than HL0 RI2
by the time you get to the end it isn't half health
It really is
70 isn't double 50
All depends on styx
it isn't changing the offerings in styx
And if it’s not, it’s because you picked health over boons at every opportunity, which means your build is way weaker
100 gold is worth about 10 health with CF
First of all that’s objectively false
if a heart costs 225 and gives 25 health then 100 gold is somewhere inbetween 10 and 15
But more importantly, you’re getting offered a lot less gold doors
And assuming you’re taking health over those gold doors when possible, you’re rarely gonna actually have enough health to buy more than one thing per region (if that)
And this is all easier than taking 80% more damage?
You’d be better off with EM4 replacing those HL levels
If you really are so scared of HL
em4 would definitely be first
You’re telling me you take EM4 RI2 AP2 before HL5?
no reroll for combating RNG, less gold rooms and I think you lose God's Favor/Legacy as well with RI1?
those 3 are already pretty damn huge in itself
not mentioning RI2
Yeah it’s super super brutal
I wouldn't be taking both RI2 and AP2 at the same time because that just makes the game too reset heavy
So you go EM4 RI2 before HL5?
That’s harder than my 50 heat pact
Unironically
So damn good luck out there
Because you’re gonna need it
sup guys
sup
any way to remove the zagreus aspect from a weapon?
i used titan blood to upgrade other things but I just can't get rid of it
i'm currently malding over dumb AI in Pokemon games rn
it's stuck to the weak af weapon
you can't remove titan blood from weapons, so you'll need to get more of it to use it on other weapons
I mean
I don't want the titan blood
I want the weapon like it was before
I am using the bow and I could put my cast on my attack
but I bought the zagreus aspect and now I can't do any of those
then click on that aspect when you select the Bow
you're welcome
now if you will excuse me, i need to go back to being upset over dumb AI in pokemon
Is there ever a situation where Smoldering Air is even remotely worth? I don't get it.
Smoldering Air is one of the most powerful boons in the game.
what about artemis call? is SA still worth on it? bc the greater call damage looks spicy
You get i-frames any time you activate any Call.
So yeah it can definitely be worth it.
But I wouldn't prioritize trying to get Smoldering Air if I had Artemis' Aid.
Nor trying to get Artemis' Aid if I already have boons from Lady Aphrodite and Lord Zeus.
fair
You also can get Billowing Strength and Second Wind, which activate any time you use a Call.
So with Smoldering Air, you can have them up permanently.
Well, except for the first few seconds of any encounter.
there are a few calls I'd rather saving up for a greater but yeah SA+Billowing is always good
That ends up being a panic button for a second and a half of invincibility every 4 or so seconds. It’s literally hard to get hit if you use that correctly. It’s nuts
I don't really know how to use calls
like, when
things often get too chaotic for me to keep track
press F when the gauge on the bottom left hand side of your screen is full
for athenas call you basically just hit the button whenever you don't think you can dodge
but yeah, what's hitting me like 90% of time?
also, I've come to a bit of a conclusion
cursed slash kind of feels like a crutch
being able to heal kind of makes dodging not so important
you just tank through everything especially with high attack speed
It gets worse as you increase the heat
Have you beat the final boss yet?
Cursed Slash is very bad
I still have no idea what ||Hades'|| Boiling Blood debuff does.
You take double damage
My best run so far - Just below 19 minutes. Not better by much, but still better.
I bet if you did a single Eris speedrun right now you could beat that by 5 minutes easy
Time to interrupt this conversation to bring you an important message:
Zeus Aspect best Aspect
It’s definitely really really good
I’d say it’s in my top 5
Beowulf, Rama, Zeus, Eris, Hestia is probably my top 5? Idk, maybe not Hestia but I’m not sure what I’d replace it with
im just curious abt the lore in this game
erm.. .all these characters are "dead" right?
like in-game i mean
who?
all of them
every character in the game?
How do you build Beowulf. Feels so clunky
flood flare mirage shot
i mean in-game
not at all, what makes you think that?
cast not special
yeah cast
mirage is poseidon artemis duo
mb I have that
because they're in the underworld...
some of them, like achilles and eurydice are
some are not
u mean they're alive?
like nyx, hades and zag
wow ok im so confused now
the gods aren’t dead
hold up
the ghosts you see around/most of the enemies are
so underworld isnt the "other side"?
What?
other side
other side of what
I never said achilles is alive what
It takes some practice to play well. If you’re playing on controller, I suggest remapping cast to a shoulder button
so achiless is alive in hell?
I replied to “they’re all dead”
like literally alive?
oh so he is dead?
the gods are immortal melon
I said some are dead, some are alive
Flood flare replaces flood shot as your cast on beo and hera
the gods are not dead
the gods arent dead? so zeus in heaven is like alive?
omg.. im really confused hahaha
Not heaven
sorry guys
And to play beo - the main thing is loading casts while rushing best achieved by a remap like pancake suggested
Flood flare is better for speedruns but passion flare is better for high heat
Olympus doesn’t equal heaven
waittt
just where a lot of the godly pantheon lives
Is this the first time you’re learning about anything related to Greek mythology?
Mirage shot on beowulf is double cast damage due to bugs lol
so netherealm and olympus arent hell and heaven??
no
im rly sorry! i only know abt medusa and that maze thing
afterlife is all hell in greek mythology. Its just that there is a good hell and then there is a "hell" hell
Underworld isn’t only fire and brimstone either
olympus is the god's crib
only place that’s bad bad is tartarus
Asphodel is just kinda in the middle
Elysium is for the heroes and stuff
This is an oversimplification but you can think of Tartarus as hell, asphodel as purgatory and elysium as heaven (for mortals)
and styx is near the surface
tartarus? that 2nd level of the game?
First
Olympus is not heaven in this canon lol
ok so....
olympus and that hades place, is just like a living thing?
like a living place?
Not sure I follow
sorry!!!
Olympus is where the gods dwell
ya ya ok. soo like olympus is not a spirit world. It is a literal living place?
right?
yes
AHHH
da hous
wow... ok

Keep your number and your money with Ting, and get a $25 credit with no contract by using our link http://extracredits.ting.com/
We all know the stars of Hades are the Greek gods and dear Zagreus but the locale deserves some recognition too! So hop on the Ferryman's boat and let's take a tour of the Underworld, Supergiant style. We'll talk abou...
This will get you started on the Greek myth rabbit hole
the underworld is where all the dead go
That channel has a ton of videos
it’s segmented
not all of it is for the bad people, not all is for the good people
ty! i will check into that later
OHH so it is hell then?
underworld i mean.. kinda since the name hahaha
wait so hell and heaven do exist in greek mythology right?
underworld has places for the people who did well in life as well
Not exactly. If looking through the lens of Christianity, the analogy is Tartarus is hell that’s where the goons go to get tortured by the furies (Sisyphus)
And elysium is heaven for all the great warriors
OHH
Theseus sucks now but he had a good run before he died
Patroclus died a great warrior too
it’s like heaven and hell are all in one place really
those 3 sisters? oh so they the punishers. ok this is interesting
ahh i see
Typically asphodel is portrayed as a boring meadow where everything is like, neutral
wait.. that kind guy with the boulder has a lore too??? i thought he is just a normal npc
The lava is new for this game
"kind" guy
Yep. Sisyphus has been a character for thousands of years lol
he was a horrible king lol
he is!! =.=
oh hahaha... sorry
i will look into him
Every character has lore. Also, have you really never heard of Sisyphus? His story is kinda… well known generally
Yeah fam, SG went through great pains to make sure this story fit into the canon of Greek myth
omg this game is just one uncharted lore waiting to be explore!!! this is awesome
yeah most of them are real dudes in the greek mythos
ah yes ancient greek hamburgers and fries
Check out that video I posted it’ll get u started but literally you can just google any character that intrigues you
🗿
yeah man, the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast
a man's gotta have his burger and fries

hey everyone, welcome back to another video. this time round we’re taking a proper deep dive into the masterpiece that is Hades - however, rather than looking at this like a review, or a stereotypical analysis, we’re going to be checking out the mythology that inspired the game, and se...
i will. First i wanna learn about this achilless like what is he doing in the underworld. I mean there's a movie about him
Wait Hades has lore?
saved
He was a badass warrior but he died
Then hades recruited him to work in the house and train his kid
Yes. The lore is :
-Thanatos is hot
-Megaera is hot
You forgot Bouldy
3 hours! hahaha it is gonna be worth it
ahhh ok...
hmmm
bouldy is bouldy
so underworld does serve as a "spirit world"
It’ll be more like 6 with all the pause and google it’ll make you do haha
WAIT
there's another one iconic greek mythology
i didnt see in this game
did i missed it?
he has his own movie too
something titans
clash of the titans yes
Everytime I watch a video with someone doing a speedrun or smth, they always show a death before they start. If this some kind of way to prove their run was not tampered with?
Correct
it shows that they don't know the seed beforehand
It’s to prove its unseeded
I see now
since if you were to hit give up instead of dying then you would play the same seed as before
the seed is
That’s Theseus - he was a king of Athens and he killed the Minotaur when he was alive (it’s a long story)
everything is exactly the same?
no, almost anything you do will change the seed
Then in death, Theseus brought the Minotaur to elysium with him
ty i will look into it. ok will check his lore after i check achiless ones
Since Theseus is famous because of the asterius fight haha
Him being a loudmouth dingus is new to the game
ahh. the good ol rival becomes friend thing
Like in the old stories Theseus is this glorious hero and the Minotaur is a monster
most stuff will change the rng but if you do the same things every time and start from the same seed then you will get the same outcome
When I'm fighting those two, it quite often looks like Asterius is turning on Theseus and helping me. lol
ahhh i see. minotaur in this game is soo chill though. hahaha
So, if you constantly give up before a room, the next rooms will change or not?
@lone kernel naughty naughty
Haven’t had my coffee yet and I’m a New Yorker let me live lol
ah yeah it must be hard fighting rats everytime you take the subway
is zag a new character or is he really part of the myth?
Yep. The characters here have largely grown and are different than they’re portrayed in the myths
He’s referenced, but he’s like, just a background character who exists
that explains the medusa hahaha
In actual mythology Zagreus was the son of Zeus and Persephone, not Hades
zag? ahh .. so he isnt popular
in order to change which rooms appear you need to do something differently between attempts such as using your summon or breaking some pots
He was a blank enough slate that he was perfect to be the protagonist of a new story
you can certainly manipulate it throughout the entire run but some people just find it easier to do the first room only
Ngl I’ve started a run saw id get a common attack and dash and an epic cast, I reset and grab Beowulf or Achilles and start again lol
Actually varies upon myths
Also, Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, and she was abducted by Hades with the blessing of Zeus
The game makes things much more romantic
you know, regional variations
That still sorta happens in game
Instead zeus made her a gift
Yeah but from what I understand Hades didnt abduct her.
yeah
And in the game she doesn't seem mistreated
He outright says “I took her” in one of the first ten hades fights
But
She didn’t resist tho
later we find out this was a lie
He just accepted the "gift"
Been a while
In actual mythology Hades wanted to take her regardless of her wishes
And I assume zeus said "yeah whatever take her who cares lol"
Greek mythology is really tragic
And confusing
Agreed
And again, greek mythology isn’t entirely static
What I am going to say is sacrilege because I am Greek, but I prefer norse mythology.
in some myths, the whole pomegranate thing was intentional on persephone’s part
Sisyphus hadn’t been portrayed as a kind wise old man before afaik
I took that to mean it was totally BS
when they discuss it
Mom dad and zag
The Pom thing
in all fairness, excluding the kidnapping and pomegranate seed things, Hades and Presphone have the most stable relationship in the entire pantheon
and that one fling with minthe
How many of those myths start with “Zeus got horny”
90% of them at bare minimum
yes

what's a pantheon? google didnt really give me the answer
a group of gods
Pantheon 
oh? u mean like artemis, zeus, poseidon, theseus etc?
That moth haunts my nightmares and the day i beat it is the day i will know true peace
Imagine playing Hollow Knight
imagine not playing HK
Anyway, I like what they have done with the Mythology in this game. It's well written and satisfying
I also found out that the VA of Zagreus is also a wicked good Hades player
How talented can you be
yea! and it is unexpected too!
wait is this spoiler free?
He also voices Orpheus too right? Does he sing?
he does the singing voice ye
wow
this has no limits to spoilers
No this ones ok
so like you can spoil here
Yeah I’m pretty sure he got like a 25 min run
oh because i wanna say something though
yay
based
Oh
I thought the fastest SGG Dev was ~15 mins
ok... story was unexpected because i thought zeus eventually finds out that persphone was hiding!
but he didnt, instead she goes back to hades
feels satisfying
Game’s not over haha
??
no it is my 10th run
she goes bback with me
on the boat
yeah, that’s the credits. Now there’s an epilogue
you found out she goes back in 10 runs?
there is an epilogue
you literally won your first 10 runs?
10 wins
^_^ 25 isn't even that good. My first win against Hades was 21 minutes, most speed runners can do it in 12.
the feast right?
Not necessarily 10 runs
20 minutes is the baseline for TD3
My ooga booga caveman brain is so smart
I float constantly 24-26
epilogue?
and I am a noob
Speedrunning the game and beating the game quickly are completely different lol
u mean the game is long than over?
There’s plenty of stuff to do. I just finished the prophecy list on Tuesday and I’ve had the game since launch with 350 runs
huh wait wait.. like the dialogue or whatever when you finish the game after your 10 wins, not gonna be repetitive?
im still missing the lyre prophecy lol 
there are new stories after those?
wtf
Reid moment
Correct. It’ll slow down, but there’s still like half the story to go
I do a little bit with the Lyre whenever I get back to my room. It will take me forever, but I play it until Zag says something.
After credits
I remember getting 2 duo boons in a single run, on top of already having one
oh man.... hmm.... i have this feeling hades will be helping me
Im missing 2 prophecies
You’ll see haha
Successive charon and spread fire
I had a mandatory two hour training thing for work, literally just pressed the button for two hours during that meeting lol
Hammer refuses to show ip
You don’t need to take the Charon fight every time to get the prophecy
I’m still kinda sad about my room 6 Lucifer splitting bolt then getting waxed by Charon anyway lol
just want to make it clear, hades is basically a "satan" right?
Hades is a horrible father, but he's amazing otherwise.
and again, makes sense he was a bad dad
yea. in this game, he looks kinda chill. I was like "why is this guy potray as a devil? he is cool"
His own dad ate him
wtf
He’s usually chill in general
Nope. He’s a dude who does his job and is a bad dad, but he isn’t a direct analogy to Satan
that was unexpected
I still prefer Hades from Descendants though. Cheyenne Jackson is bae.
It’s just christianization correlating underworld with hell, which is inaccurate
and popular media often using him as the “bad guy”
He was the bad guy in Hercules
And the disney hercules movie which I don’t talk about
ahh ok so it is just misunderstanding guy
since u guys helped me clear that up that hades isn't portray as satan
means zeus isn't god then
i mean like
literal god... u know
u guys know what i mean
Also correct. Christian god does everything, where Greek gods all have their own areas
Zeus is in charge and there is a semi analogy to Christian god
moreso analogy as a “sky father” esque deity
But he isn’t like, the creator of everything
you can always take it again, well depending on the duo you took
THe problem is that the playstyle changed completely and it sucks
I took the Ares/Poseidon duo
that pulses your cast around you
no worries, I wont get out of elysium with this
