I like killing him because he is a cheapskate

brave portal
#

Having to go trough that for a little coin ain't worth it that much

slim grail
#

doesnt make sense either because charon wasnt suppose to be stronger than hades

manic bobcat
#

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

twin thistle
#

fighting charon with hl5 and fo2 sounds uh not fun bouldy so i dont need that gold

brave portal
plucky latch
#

Most secret bosses scaling dont make sense in games. They are ALWAYS stronger than final bosses lol

manic bobcat
#

i disagree tbh

heavy wigeon
#

secr

marble kettle
#

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 ?

brave portal
#

And i bet hades doesn't really fight at full strenght, he could defeat titans after all

slim grail
plucky latch
brisk trail
#

i dont think charon is harder than hades

#

harder to learn maybe

heavy wigeon
#

so you can only have one trait at a time active

marble kettle
#

Ahh makes sense

brisk trail
#

but once youve got it down you take less damage from charon than hades usually

brisk trail
#

at least for me

twin thistle
#

charons difficultly is mainly the lack of practice you get

brisk trail
#

yeah

slim grail
plucky latch
twin thistle
#

also having crappy damage depending on where you fight him

manic bobcat
marble kettle
heavy wigeon
#

i already answered your question.

manic bobcat
#

If you want to see charon fight only, here is a whole host.

manic bobcat
tall lotus
#

that mod fox? not good for being in the rules

brave portal
#

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

slim grail
#

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

brave portal
#

....medusa is already in the game

slim grail
#

?

heavy wigeon
#

do u mean duse

brave portal
#

It's just dusa

manic bobcat
#

maid dusa dusa

heavy wigeon
#

yeah

slim grail
#

that's medusa??? why????

heavy wigeon
#

she is kinda annoiyng

tall lotus
#

it duse? he got in game from olden time lore from greekens lol

twin thistle
#

imagine if you could have all shield aspects on at the same time bouldy

#

thatd be balanced

manic bobcat
slim grail
#

she's the most iconic fiercesome villain in greek. pls make her a secret boss

brave portal
manic bobcat

asphodel bouldy

heavy wigeon
#

2nd zone

slim grail
#

which level?

#

ohhh that big head one?

tall lotus
#

well watermelon, it not for confirm since he not called medusa, onlin dusa so it not greeken for sure

manic bobcat
#

but i do agree that hades is a bit light on optional secret stuff

twin thistle
#

the ones that you know turn you to stone

brave portal
#

I'm pretty sure dusa is medusa

heavy wigeon
#

i think apple and watermelon should be friends haha

tall lotus
#

who say that rod?

twin thistle
slim grail
#

ahh ok so medusa checks out

brisk trail
#

maid-dusa

#

snakes for hair

#

your dont really have to read into it

tall lotus
#

that not true, he call dusa not that lol

slim grail
#

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 =.=

twin thistle
#

'dusa' 'medusa' thanthink thanthink thanthink

brave portal
#

I mean medusa, dusa, a gorgon, a decaptitated head

#

Checks up

twin thistle
#

yep doesnt ring a bell

manic bobcat
#

and the goddamn pun

#

too perfect to not be true

heavy wigeon
#

hydra and kraken different beasts

brave portal
#

And doesn't want to talk about the time she was decaptitated because "she was a different person back then"

brisk trail
#

kraken lotta legs

#

hydra lotta heads

tall lotus
#

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

brave portal
#

It's a nickname

#

Like zag or tan

tall lotus
#

say who? hadee dad not say it

brisk trail
#

read above lol

slim grail
#

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

heavy wigeon
#

how can u say its implied when nowhere in the lore is it explicitly implied

brisk trail
#

DLC would do really well in Hades but afaik nothing is in works

slim grail
#

aww man

manic bobcat
#

explicitly implied
thanthink

heavy wigeon
tall lotus
#

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

brave portal
#

I don't think they really need to point out something that obvious

slim grail
brisk trail
slim grail
#

alright!!!

slim grail
#

i hope supergiant game continue to grow as an indie dev

#

pls dont turn into AAA

plucky latch
slim grail
#

make more awesome game

brave portal
#

Maybe her full name reminds her of the days when she was a monster before dying

plucky latch
#

IF it really is Medujsa

slim grail
#

this medusa discussion is funny hahaha

brave portal
manic bobcat
#

also how would you consider Theseus

slim grail
manic bobcat
#

he seems different than the myth, is he not the same person?

slim grail
#

so medusa is cannon in this game

heavy wigeon
#

evil reference

tall lotus
#

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?

plucky latch
#

Theseus is a king

#

he is deserving of respect

manic bobcat
#

my point is the devs definitely took liberty with the source materials

slim grail
#

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

manic bobcat
#

so the fact that dusa personality isn't exactly the same with what you expect from the myth says nothing.

slim grail
#

i think those two are made up characters

manic bobcat
#

the same way with theseus

#

in fact theseus was supposed to be the main character in hades preconception

brave portal
tall lotus
#

fox, this in the timeing for dalseyhoods ? it saying for taht the great lore it good from, not real though

brave portal
#

Skelly doesn't exist tho

twin thistle
#

uh yeah nyx is actually in greek mythology

brisk trail
#

iirc

slim grail
#

oh really? crap .. ok i gotta research and read up nyx then

slim grail
#

but skelly... aww hope he is real

brave portal
#

Fr?

plucky latch
#

Dusa is also not ugly. She can't be Medusa

#

Just makes sense to not assume

#

imo

brisk trail
heavy wigeon
#

she is ugly

brisk trail
#

up to you if you like to believe it or not, i do :^)

tall lotus
#

why say that dusa is modusa? be causing they have long hair? it snakes, cmon !

slim grail
#

omg i just read up0 nyx

brave portal
slim grail
#

it said even zeus feared her

#

fear her*

manic bobcat

manic bobcat
#

thanks

#

imo

carmine ravine
#

Dusa is pretty annoying in personality

tall lotus
#

@still cove Morphious is ugly, she have greasy hair lol

slim grail
#

guys read up nyx pls! it says gods fear her

#

i didnt know nyx is that powerful

brave portal
#

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

plucky latch
slim grail
#

WAIT I GOT SOMETHING INTERESTING

brave portal
brisk trail
slim grail
#

charon is a child of nyx!

twin thistle
plucky latch

brisk trail
#

manic bobcat
#

and somehow thinking alecto is not ugly but meg is

slim grail
#

aphrodite isnt ugly. she is the goddess of beauty

#

according to greek tho

manic bobcat
#

not judging your taste but yeah

carmine ravine
#

Charon is pretty ugly, fite me

slim grail
#

plucky latch
#

Yeah. Artemis is such a BABE

brave portal
#

Artemis is pretty cute ngl

tall lotus
#

kind weird that it only childbirth and not adult birht lol

manic bobcat
#

She is often interpreted as an asexual character

tall lotus
#

greekens weird too

manic bobcat
#

Well she literally asked Zeus to never let her marry, or lose her purity

brave portal
slim grail
#

artemis got that "baka" kinda thing going on

manic bobcat
#

greek myth is weird

#

carmine ravine

tall lotus
#

elfin granite

You're going to make him feel bad bro

brave portal
#

I'm just simping for fictional characters a little nothing wrong with that

tall lotus
#

i guessing it not ok for lithua to be in here for it then? that not ok

plucky latch
#

Much wrong with simping

tall lotus
#

this hadee discussion, not hadee simp? what you tri?

carmine ravine
#

Nah, a lot of ppl here likes the characters

brave portal
#

Just expressing my love for the characters shown

#

Yeah. Dusa is EXTREMELY annoying

brave portal
manic bobcat
#

slim grail
plucky latch
#

I genuinely hate Dusa.

elfin granite
#

I think he was justifying his bad english

tall lotus
#

slim grail
#

wow i didnt know dusa is unlikeable

tall lotus
#

i thinking inlazer gun can be strongest of all times! what boon for this sure i wonder?

manic bobcat
#

everyone can have their own opinion ig

plucky latch
#

Honestly, it makes sense for you to like Dusa Melon. It just makes sense

slim grail
plucky latch
#

She seems made for younger audience

carmine ravine
#

Probably the high pitch and the stereotypical "ultra shy crush" theme onnndusa makes it annoying for some people

plucky latch
#

Nothing mean my friend

Wasn't even the best build

plucky latch
#

Medusa is on my hitlist

#

Believe that

narrow hemlock
#

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.

tall lotus
#

Henlo all and rest, I return and back!

granite ether

☝️

tall lotus
#

oh, Hello Aggy! how to do in this day for you?

heavy wigeon
#

i wish u could fight her tho it would be cool

granite ether
plucky latch
#

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.

tall lotus
#

that in that for sure prince, it makin the sense for that my friend

narrow hemlock
#

would appreciate it actually. there's nothing wrong with disliking characters but lets still try and keep it respectful ✌️

glacial adder
#

war is not peaceful my friend

heavy wigeon
#

i respect it when people have anthor opinion but it cool to be able to say my own

tall lotus
#

it fine in the time for it to be in rash, but it true on that war is strong and hurt

plucky latch
heavy wigeon
#

yeah @tall lotus my dad and incle both fought in war but they ok now

tall lotus
#

that good, hadee like your dad, in they strong too

#

maybe your dad and incle use shield too?

heavy wigeon
#

in a methaphor type of way yeah

tall lotus
#

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

heavy wigeon
#

u can post link

tall lotus
#

@rough token in taht maybe you know answer? i think funny hadee mp4 is for to hadee discussion

plucky latch
#

Yeah, I wanna see it

glacial adder
#

hmmmmm. Jacob Ian maybe right, but it best to be alert for hadee when he come around in darknes

tall lotus
#

darkness for sure bad this time, they saying it long time in hadee lore

plucky latch
#

Who is the voice actress for Medusa?

#

@narrow hemlock

narrow hemlock
tall lotus
#

uummm, i thinking that it for aphrodite, voice acting for the dusa head if is kate higgin

plucky latch
#

Thanks my friend. I didn't even realize she also voices Aphrodite. That makes a lot of sense

tall lotus
#

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

modern garnet
#

dusa's voice is pitched up I think

#

maybe there's a more complex effect idk

glacial adder
#

censorship allow on discor now?

tall lotus
#

waiting for that one this time, that what i thinking for sure riddler

heavy wigeon
#

I guess it's not ok to be complimenting a real person at the expense of a fictional character

#

my bad 😁

tall lotus
#

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

smoky kiln
#

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

#

whats a good aspect+hammer for zeus

#

i never take zeus unless going for sea storm im realising

rapid forum
#

achilles + flurry jab
eris + delta chamber

hushed belfry
#

I've heard rail is pr good

#

yeah what fluffy bun said

rapid forum
#

zeus shield + any hammer? idk whether pulverizing blow procs zeus

raw herald
#

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 dusa

little dragon
#

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

brisk trail
#

actually so does charged shot, how does that even work with zeus?

brisk trail
#

any suggestions for other boons with eris+delta

vapid narwhal
#

same as other shields

#

just... not super useful with Zeus

brisk trail
#

oh nvm im dumb lol

#

was thinking charged shot was special fsr

vapid narwhal
#

you are thinking about charged flight

brisk trail
#

ye

vapid narwhal
#

you cant get charge flight with zeus

raw herald
#

According to Baj

reef zodiac
raw herald
#

Yep

reef zodiac
#

But don’t you want Zeus special? Meaning ER doesn’t do a ton

brisk trail
#

i just thought the whole point of zeus was to keep the shield out with zeus flourish

raw herald
#

Still spreads jolted and has double strike

brisk trail
#

making ER a bit weird

reef zodiac
#

Hmm

#

Alright makes sense

raw herald
#

And scales better with global damage

reef zodiac
brisk trail
#

huh

#

would be nice if the 2 best hammers that look the nicest for zeus actually worked with it lol

reef zodiac
#

Wym?

raw herald
#

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

brisk trail
#

dashing flight and charged flight both dont work with it

#

the dps increase would be immense

raw herald
#

Id just watch his 64 heat routed VOD

reef zodiac
#

They’re also both bad hammers thanthink

#

So… not missing much

brisk trail
#

if they worked with zeus i think they'd be bis

raw herald
#

Just imagine a combination of chaos shield and Zeus shield

reef zodiac
brisk trail
#

whats the worst hammer for shield

#

dread flight?

reef zodiac
#

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

raw herald
#

Probably dread flight yeah

brisk trail
#

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%

raw herald
#

I think dashing flight is additive

#

Not sure though

brisk trail
#

oh sorry dashing is 200% damage not base

#

youre right

reef zodiac
brisk trail
#

it'd just make the base damage 90 instead of 30 no?

#

for charged flight

reef zodiac
#

Well you’d have to charge it

brisk trail
#

i don't see how that's very hard to imagine though

#

just hold right click for a second before releasing

reef zodiac
brisk trail
#

or q or w/e your keybind is

reef zodiac
#

I’m not arguing about this

reef zodiac
#

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

brisk trail
#

i'm not upset about it i just said it would be nice

reef zodiac
#

Well I don’t think it would be.

brisk trail
#

and to be fair you started any "argument" by questioning rmacinty lol

reef zodiac
#

What are you talking about

pure karma
#

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?

reef zodiac
#

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

pure karma
#

Because there is some kind of flash when I bull rush. No mino upgrade

rapid forum
#

without the hammer it doesn't have perfect shot

pure karma
#

I see

#

Also, does anyone ever use Stubborn Roots lol

brisk trail
#

maybe on a cursed slash stubborn defiance build lol

#

otherwise dont think so

pure karma
#

isnt there some heat option that removed mirror upgrades?

#

I assume if you juice it enough it will remove them all right?

brisk trail
#

yeah but you only do that if youre going over 40 usually

pure karma
#

yeah, in that case roots seem insane

reef zodiac
vapid narwhal
#

RI is something you only take at hyper high heat

#

like, 50+

reef zodiac
vapid narwhal
#

not even 40 heat will take them

reef zodiac
#

God no

#

RI sucks

jade zenith
#

by the time you take RI4 you will have LC4 enabled

#

and so it won't do anything

pure karma
#

how much is max heat?

reef zodiac
#

Yeah also that

raw herald
#

RI4 is the last pact that you'd ever take

reef zodiac
raw herald
#

64

brisk trail
raw herald
#

If you take RI at 40 heat, you're going to have an easier time doing something else

reef zodiac
pure karma
#

I assume the game is actual hell at 64

vapid narwhal
#

god no dont take RI at 40

#

64 is currently unbeatable

#

highest is 63 but seeded (perfect RNG)

#

unseeded is 61

jade zenith
#

seeded did 64

reef zodiac
#

Yeah I’m pretty sure Zeus shield did seeded 64

pure karma
#

you can seed runs?

vapid narwhal
#

save file manipulation

reef zodiac
#

Kinda

vapid narwhal
jade zenith
#

if you aren't super dependent boons then I do find that RI2 or AP2 is easier than the equivalent amount of hard labour

reef zodiac
#

What?? Nooo never

jade zenith
#

there are worse things to be doing at 40 heat

reef zodiac
#

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

jade zenith
#

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

reef zodiac
#

I wouldn’t even take AP1 below 43 heat, let alone AP2 agoneyes

jade zenith
#

45

Why do you keep trying to gatekeep opinions

reef zodiac
#

Because I did 40 heat with all but 7 aspects, and 45 heat twice

wise oasis
#

If it works for them it works for them

wise oasis
#

might not be the "best" but it works for them

reef zodiac
#

I just think that RI2 or AP2 over Hard Labor is suicidal

jade zenith
#

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

raw herald
#

RI2 is basically half health as well

#

And fewer boons/poms

reef zodiac
#

Yeah

raw herald
#

And no money

jade zenith
#

half health earlier on

reef zodiac
#

No

#

Half health

#

You get offered half as many centaur hearts

raw herald
#

Because you get fewer centaur hearts and have no gold

#

And no rerolls

reef zodiac
#

It’s like so much worse. HL10 would be easier than HL0 RI2

jade zenith
#

by the time you get to the end it isn't half health

reef zodiac
#

It really is

jade zenith
#

70 isn't double 50

raw herald
#

All depends on styx

jade zenith
#

it isn't changing the offerings in styx

reef zodiac
#

And if it’s not, it’s because you picked health over boons at every opportunity, which means your build is way weaker

jade zenith
#

100 gold is worth about 10 health with CF

reef zodiac
#

First of all that’s objectively false

jade zenith
#

if a heart costs 225 and gives 25 health then 100 gold is somewhere inbetween 10 and 15

reef zodiac
#

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

jade zenith
#

em4 would definitely be first

reef zodiac
#

You’re telling me you take EM4 RI2 AP2 before HL5?

vapid narwhal
#

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

reef zodiac
#

Yeah it’s super super brutal

jade zenith
#

I wouldn't be taking both RI2 and AP2 at the same time because that just makes the game too reset heavy

reef zodiac
#

So you go EM4 RI2 before HL5?

jade zenith
#

maybe

#

or at the very least that is what I would be trying

reef zodiac
#

That’s harder than my 50 heat pact

#

Unironically

#

So damn good luck out there

#

Because you’re gonna need it

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

rain relic

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

rain relic

uhm..

well that worked

thank you so much

you're a life saver

#

Is there ever a situation where Smoldering Air is even remotely worth? I don't get it.

high island
#

Smoldering Air is one of the most powerful boons in the game.

brisk trail
#

minor call spam>greater call for most calls

#

its more dmg

pure karma
#

hm

#

I have athena's call

#

lol...

brisk trail
#

yeah thats good

#

you get to be invincible every few seconds

last meadow
#

what about artemis call? is SA still worth on it? bc the greater call damage looks spicy

high island
#

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.

last meadow
#

oh okay okay thanks

#

didn't think about the iframes

high island
#

Nor trying to get Artemis' Aid if I already have boons from Lady Aphrodite and Lord Zeus.

last meadow
#

fair

high island
#

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.

vapid narwhal
#

there are a few calls I'd rather saving up for a greater but yeah SA+Billowing is always good

reef zodiac
# pure karma I have athena's call

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

brisk trail
#

I don't really know how to use calls

#

like, when

#

things often get too chaotic for me to keep track

rain relic
brisk trail
#

that's been a problem with fighting Hades

#

oh, right

#

my bad

jade zenith
#

for athenas call you basically just hit the button whenever you don't think you can dodge

brisk trail
#

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

raw herald
#

It gets worse as you increase the heat

brisk trail
#

I beg your pardon?

#

what's that mean?

raw herald
#

Have you beat the final boss yet?

reef zodiac
#

Cursed Slash is very bad

pure karma
#

I still have no idea what ||Hades'|| Boiling Blood debuff does.

reef zodiac
#

You take double damage

pure karma
#

oh...

#

hmm

#

I should avoid getting hit by that then

reef zodiac
#

Probably

#

It also does damage when you get hit by it

split owl
#

My best run so far - Just below 19 minutes. Not better by much, but still better.

reef zodiac
#

I bet if you did a single Eris speedrun right now you could beat that by 5 minutes easy

brisk trail
#

Time to interrupt this conversation to bring you an important message:

Zeus Aspect best Aspect

reef zodiac
#

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

slim grail
#

im just curious abt the lore in this game

#

erm.. .all these characters are "dead" right?

#

like in-game i mean

burnt breach
slim grail
burnt breach
#

every character in the game?

pure karma
#

How do you build Beowulf. Feels so clunky

slim grail
#

they're all dead right?

burnt breach
slim grail

i mean in-game

burnt breach
pure karma
#

flood flare is poseidon's special right? I have that

#

Which one is mirage shot?

burnt breach
#

cast not special

pure karma
#

yeah cast

burnt breach
#

mirage is poseidon artemis duo

pure karma
#

mb I have that

slim grail
thorny mirage
#

some are not

slim grail
#

u mean they're alive?

thorny mirage
#

like nyx, hades and zag

slim grail
#

wow ok im so confused now

thorny mirage
#

the gods aren’t dead

slim grail
#

hold up

thorny mirage
#

the ghosts you see around/most of the enemies are

slim grail
#

so underworld isnt the "other side"?

thorny mirage
#

What?

slim grail
thorny mirage
#

other side of what

slim grail
#

like the spirit world. you said achiless is alive

#

so....

#

hmmm

thorny mirage
#

I never said achilles is alive what

reef zodiac
slim grail
#

so achiless is alive in hell?

thorny mirage
#

I replied to “they’re all dead”

slim grail
#

like literally alive?

thorny mirage
#

He’s a shade

#

A ghost

slim grail
#

oh so he is dead?

burnt breach
#

the gods are immortal melon

thorny mirage
#

I said some are dead, some are alive

lone kernel
thorny mirage
#

the gods are not dead

slim grail
#

the gods arent dead? so zeus in heaven is like alive?

#

omg.. im really confused hahaha

thorny mirage
#

Not heaven

slim grail
#

sorry guys

lone kernel
#

And to play beo - the main thing is loading casts while rushing best achieved by a remap like pancake suggested

reef zodiac
#

Flood flare is better for speedruns but passion flare is better for high heat

thorny mirage
#

Olympus doesn’t equal heaven

slim grail
#

waittt

thorny mirage
#

just where a lot of the godly pantheon lives

reef zodiac
lone kernel
#

Mirage shot on beowulf is double cast damage due to bugs lol

slim grail
#

so netherealm and olympus arent hell and heaven??

stoic flame
#

no

thorny mirage
#

Nope

#

Everyone goes to the underworld

#

No one goes to olympus after death

slim grail
stoic flame
#

afterlife is all hell in greek mythology. Its just that there is a good hell and then there is a "hell" hell

thorny mirage
#

Underworld isn’t only fire and brimstone either

stoic flame
#

olympus is the god's crib

thorny mirage
#

only place that’s bad bad is tartarus

#

Asphodel is just kinda in the middle

#

Elysium is for the heroes and stuff

lone kernel
#

This is an oversimplification but you can think of Tartarus as hell, asphodel as purgatory and elysium as heaven (for mortals)

thorny mirage
#

and styx is near the surface

slim grail
thorny mirage
#

First

lone kernel
#

Olympus is not heaven in this canon lol

slim grail
#

ok so....

#

olympus and that hades place, is just like a living thing?

#

like a living place?

lone kernel
#

Not sure I follow

slim grail
#

sorry!!!

stoic flame
#

olympus is just where gods live. it has nothing to do with hell

#

or heaven

thorny mirage
#

Olympus is where the gods dwell

slim grail
#

ya ya ok. soo like olympus is not a spirit world. It is a literal living place?

#

right?

stoic flame
#

yes

slim grail
#

AHHH

stoic flame
#

da hous

slim grail
#

wow... ok

lone kernel
#

This will get you started on the Greek myth rabbit hole

thorny mirage
#

the underworld is where all the dead go

lone kernel
#

That channel has a ton of videos

thorny mirage
#

it’s segmented

#

not all of it is for the bad people, not all is for the good people

slim grail
slim grail
#

underworld i mean.. kinda since the name hahaha

thorny mirage
#

well no

#

Hell is punishment

slim grail
#

wait so hell and heaven do exist in greek mythology right?

thorny mirage
#

underworld has places for the people who did well in life as well

lone kernel
# slim grail OHH so it is hell then?

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

slim grail
#

OHH

lone kernel
#

Theseus sucks now but he had a good run before he died

#

Patroclus died a great warrior too

thorny mirage
#

it’s like heaven and hell are all in one place really

slim grail
lone kernel
#

Yeah, Sisyphus pushes Bouldy up the hill while the furies whip him

lone kernel
#

Typically asphodel is portrayed as a boring meadow where everything is like, neutral

slim grail
lone kernel
#

The lava is new for this game

thorny mirage
#

Yeah

#

we don’t get told his lore in game

lone kernel
stoic flame

he was a horrible king lol

slim grail

reef zodiac
lone kernel
#

Yeah fam, SG went through great pains to make sure this story fit into the canon of Greek myth

slim grail

omg this game is just one uncharted lore waiting to be explore!!! this is awesome

stoic flame

yeah most of them are real dudes in the greek mythos

wow... srsly guys... this is mind blowing for me

lone kernel
#

Hahaha get to YouTube

slim grail
#

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

reef zodiac
#

Wait Hades has lore?

slim grail
lone kernel
#

Then hades recruited him to work in the house and train his kid

burnt breach
lone kernel
slim grail
burnt breach
slim grail

so underworld does serve as a "spirit world"

lone kernel
slim grail
#

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

pure karma
#

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?

slim grail
#

is he that guy where we have to fight?

#

with the bull guy?

jade zenith
pure karma
#

I see now

jade zenith
#

since if you were to hit give up instead of dying then you would play the same seed as before

pure karma
#

what

#

the run in predetermined from the start?

burnt breach
#

the seed is

lone kernel
pure karma
#

everything is exactly the same?

burnt breach
#

no, almost anything you do will change the seed

lone kernel
#

Then in death, Theseus brought the Minotaur to elysium with him

slim grail
lone kernel
#

Since Theseus is famous because of the asterius fight haha

#

Him being a loudmouth dingus is new to the game

slim grail
lone kernel
#

Like in the old stories Theseus is this glorious hero and the Minotaur is a monster

jade zenith
#

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

split owl
#

When I'm fighting those two, it quite often looks like Asterius is turning on Theseus and helping me. lol

slim grail
pure karma
burnt breach
#

@lone kernel naughty naughty

lone kernel
#

Haven’t had my coffee yet and I’m a New Yorker let me live lol

burnt breach
#

ah yeah it must be hard fighting rats everytime you take the subway

slim grail
#

is zag a new character or is he really part of the myth?

lone kernel
#

He’s referenced, but he’s like, just a background character who exists

pure karma
#

In actual mythology Zagreus was the son of Zeus and Persephone, not Hades

slim grail
jade zenith
lone kernel
jade zenith
#

you can certainly manipulate it throughout the entire run but some people just find it easier to do the first room only

lone kernel
#

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

thorny mirage
pure karma
#

Also, Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, and she was abducted by Hades with the blessing of Zeus

thorny mirage
#

Some of them are hades and persephone

#

It’s weird

pure karma
#

The game makes things much more romantic

thorny mirage
#

you know, regional variations

thorny mirage
#

Instead zeus made her a gift

pure karma
#

Yeah but from what I understand Hades didnt abduct her.

thorny mirage
#

yeah

pure karma
#

And in the game she doesn't seem mistreated

lone kernel
pure karma
#

But

lone kernel
#

She didn’t resist tho

pure karma
#

later we find out this was a lie

lone kernel
#

And implied she had a crush on hades

#

Idr

pure karma
#

He just accepted the "gift"

lone kernel
#

Been a while

pure karma
#

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

low hare
#

And confusing

pure karma
#

Agreed

thorny mirage
#

And again, greek mythology isn’t entirely static

pure karma
#

What I am going to say is sacrilege because I am Greek, but I prefer norse mythology.

thorny mirage
#

in some myths, the whole pomegranate thing was intentional on persephone’s part

lone kernel
#

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

rain relic

and that one fling with minthe

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

slim grail

He also voices Orpheus too right? Does he sing?

Oh

raw herald
#

I thought the fastest SGG Dev was ~15 mins

slim grail
#

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

slim grail
#

no it is my 10th run

#

she goes bback with me

#

on the boat

lone kernel
#

yeah, that’s the credits. Now there’s an epilogue

pure karma

you found out she goes back in 10 runs?

there is an epilogue

you literally won your first 10 runs?

10 wins

the feast right?

Not necessarily 10 runs

it is a roguelike

im still missing the lyre prophecy lol ron

just want to make it clear, hades is basically a "satan" right?

no

Dude’s a nice enough guy

that was unexpected

#

I still prefer Hades from Descendants though. Cheyenne Jackson is bae.

thorny mirage
#

It’s just christianization correlating underworld with hell, which is inaccurate

#

and popular media often using him as the “bad guy”

lone kernel
#

He was the bad guy in Hercules

thorny mirage
#

And the disney hercules movie which I don’t talk about

slim grail
#

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

lone kernel
#

Zeus is in charge and there is a semi analogy to Christian god

thorny mirage

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
