nice, DD's are definitely a turning point when starting out
I'm tryna beat the game with gun
Lightning Strike.
modded has certain mods installed to deal with some of the rng instances on the game
-get 4 core boons on the first boon
no barge of the death/tiny vermin/asterius
always 2 sack
-1st hammer is one of your choice
indicator that shows when a room has a fountain
(idk if im missing something else but thats the general idea)
do concentrated volley carry between specials?
like atk, special, special would carry over the shot+3 damage to the next barrage from the first
Patch 1.37 had some substantial balance changes, so they reset the leaderboard at that point.
lol only 4 people post their hell mode fresh run
stubborn defiance how get
If want get stubborn defiance, unlock other mirror options
flip the death defiance
oh the yellow version thing
Is stubborn a good upgrade
technically they can use lasting consequences on 100% and stubborn would be viable
4 heat sd ez
SD is good for LC4, especially when normal rooms start getting a lot harder
the thing about SD is, you only recover 30% hp default
but then again athena exists
so, unless you manipulate it well
you could be running into a lot of situation that you gotta clear a room with 60% hp
normal DD raises u back to 50% hp
and if u manage to make it to Hades with all 3, u would have extra 150% hp to play around
also, even if u lose one DD, well of charon oftens lets u buy 1 back
or that Elysium guy
imagine u do EM4 Hades
with SD vs 3 DD
Oh my god, I finally finished the codex
I think the only thing I have left to do is fish and cards, but I suck at fishing so...
speaking of fishing, i wanna know
that posiedon boon that increase fishing
could it reappear?
Yes
do i need to equip his keepsake to make it spawn?
No
if you have his keepsake you wont need other boons for the req from what I know
actually nvm you need both it and one other of his loot boons
No, you need either it + a loot boon or both of the loot boons
Ocean's Bounty and Sunken Treasure or Conch Shell
well? didn't you say no when i ask ???
No conch on it’s own isn’t enough
Yes. Because you don’t need it.
You asked if you needed to equip his keepsake to make it spawn. You don’t.
His keepsake is a prereq, but you just need two out of the three
so to make it reappear
You can literally check the codex, it tells you there
i gotta get ocean bounty and then either get the sunken treasure boon or equip conch shell?
Sunken Treasure + Conch also works
Ocean's Bounty + 1 of: Sunken Treasure or keepsake
Oh really? ST + Keepsake doesn’t work?
no it doesnt
but if i go for sunken treasure, i would have to wait for 2 boons, and get the 3rd one for the legend boon
ocean bounty > sunken > huge catch
basically yes
Codex is probably just not being specific enough. I’d believe the wiki over the codex probably
probably
so, uhh hidden shield aspect goes crazy
easily top 3
sorry proxy bot
It’s the fastest aspect in the game, and holds (I think) every single heat speed record
The only place it’s beat by any aspect is highest heat record, where it’s beat by Zeus by two heat
if you get Greatest Reflex with Enkidu claws can you just dash as long as you're holding the button?
Skeletal Lure from the well
is there a way to guarantee we can secure a divine dash boon? i find that i cant get past the lernean hydra at all with out it
once you have dashing down pat Lernie's pretty easy
but yeah Reflect DEMOLISHES Lernie
use Athena's keepsake to guarantee her boons in the first room
Athena's keepsake gives you her boon in room 1 and chances are it'll have a reflect
you can always just swap keepsakes between layers
you could also just learn how to dodge and stop using it as a crutch 
eh i like playing it safe seeing as i can never get past cerberus
i get it by giving her nectar?
(obligatory play how you want to play i'm no elitist)
correct
yeah just 1 nectar nails keepsakes from everyone except for Hades
ok
Hades needs 2
thx
Hades needs 2 iirc
Yeah but even if you know how to dodge it does a whole lot to help. I used it for both my 50 heat clear and my 47 heat clear today, and for my 47 heat clear I had 5x divine dashes
yep
It’s hard to get hit with 5x divine dashes
There's no denying that Athena makes things a significant amount easier, just saying depending on anything too much will get you killed if you end up not being able to force it
Bonus dashes are extra damage (with most weapons), extra safety, and extra movement.
wait, Zeus? As in aspect of Zeus? Aspect of Zeus beats Beowulf, when what where? I think Zeus shield is cool but I can't imagine it being better than Chaos, let alone Beowulf.
and for certain builds, you'd be better off with a different dash (for example sea storm Eris)
i know they're god tier but i really just dont like using them
it really isnt but it's neat
Aspect of Zeus beat 64 heat seeded and 62 unseeded
It’s an insanely good aspect
ive always heard otherwise
Well anyone who said that is wrong
just has a high learning curve, still trying to learn it myself
You can’t argue with a 62 heat unseeded clear 
for some buidls I use roothless. And nod I agree too many dashes and it just feels like a spam fest.
oh that i cant for sure
It’s also the most pact resistant weapon in the game
unless you're playing Nemesis with Double-Edge and Heart Rend 
my current pb run is 5 dash-strike nemesis
At heat below 61, there’s nothing that makes Zeus better (or worse) than Beo though. It just pulls out way ahead once you have to use RI3
which why I hate those types of ... oh wait my fav is still Gilgamesh. Oh lord.
What's RI 3 again?
hidden aspects are always fun lol
Routine Inspection
ohh right mirror disabling
oh god
The main issue is Beo loses the extra bloodstones from infernal soul at RI3
RI goes up to 5 right?
4
one day ...
doesnt it disable 2 mirror talents per?
3
no 3
ahh that makes more sense
even then 2x5 is 10

12 mirror talents
I kinda wish it disabled 1 and there were 12 levels.
I don't care if that's 12 heat, but no mirror is no joke.
yeah no dash, no death defiances without Skelly's tooth, and only 50 HP
Hades even makes that very clear, if it wasn't for Nyx and her tallants you'd be nothing.
Talents*
thanks.
my record is 16, mostly because I just leave my pact at 32 and stay there because I want the skelly trophies. My last win was the one I posted in #h1-victory-boasting and it's been like a week 
might just be my pact
if you leave it at 32 doesn't that mean your record is 32?
no
They didn’t beat 32 yet
are skelly's trophies just that or is there something special that happens once you clear 32?
stop chatting and get going!
nothing happened on my end. Only a remark from Hades about my heat level.
If you want pact advice, the people in #h1-high-heat-strategies can help a lot with that. A bad pact can make things exponentially harder for yourself
I should drag it up to 50+, see what he says then.
do you play Hell Mode or nah?
k time to catch a few hours of sleep.
nah
isnt the max on hell mode 65?
64
is it really worth playing hell mode?
As your heat increases, every level hurts exponentially more
it's a fun time
The difference between 45 and 50 heat is as big as the difference between 0 and 40 heat (Imo)
I'm using CP 2 is that like a horrible choice
Oh my god yes
o h
That’s in the top 4 worst pacts in the game (imo)
I never touch CP until at least 43 heat
17,000 per phase (assuming not EM4)
44200 hp oh no
Btw don’t use EM4, AP, HS, or RI at all
this was a horrible decision
Yes
why not EM4..?
it's sucide
Because it’s so insanely hard
but its fuuuuuuuuuun
Oh yeah do it for fun
also it's a free 10 heat
I do 12 heat EM4 runs when I play casually
But when I’m pushing high heat, I stay the hell away from EM4
do it for fun, sure, great for gimmicky runs and casual play, but 32 heat? no thank you
Trust me, EM4 is insane 
i almost beat him
like ONE hit away from a win
and he got me
i was so mad about that fail
I always do EM4 for my casual runs
I remember on my first em4 run beating phase 2 with no DD and celebrating (I thought the healing and him summoning minibosses was em4), then I realized he had a phase 3 
It’s fun for sure
i still believe that if you play The Unseen Ones on the music stand Orpheus should swap his lyre for an electric guitar and start shredding on it
someone needs to mod that into the game
That would be pretty funny
if it is modded in though
the song has to start after a short delay
just so you can catch the animation
Would Gilgamesh be better with 2 regular dashes instead of 3 short ones? It’s my favorite weapon but sometimes feel lacking in mobility.
You probably could change the asset simply enough but the fact is that the venn diagram between "programmer" and "artist" and "person willing to do both" is narrow
The real issue is the dash cooldown
funny gilgadash build that is maybe doing less damage than smouldering air tho 
There's nothing bad about it, you can play how you like and however is the most fun for you.
is it possible to share screenshot here?
Greatest Reflex is quite possibly the best boon in the entire game imo
At least for overall utility
Not for the ceiling though, that would be mirage probably
can link/embed one
You upload it to imgur or something and then just post the link here.
It has to be Zagspect?
havent seen a worse 32 spread in a while
Zag only, since you can't unlock aspect on 2nd attempt
1st attempt = new file btw
u could go for shield or spear if you manage to get 3 /4 key though, but i only got 2 keys in my case
yeah good luck doing that on level 1 zag aspect with 50HP and 1 DD lol
ummm no DD, did get a nectar for skelly lol
oh u mean double dash?
well, if you guys can think of a better way to change this, do let me know :d
so sad that you can't put points to EM 😦
that 6 points would make things way easier...
How hard is it to do fresh file run
Since I find it very hard to outrun meg attacks with just one dash
meg is really slow tbh
for meg, she tends to dash to u when u're far, and aoe when you're close
so wait for her to use dash
then u got a sec or 2 to swing her
i like how much stronger alecto is compared to meg and tisiphone
after that, start running away, since she would start doing her aoe
when 75% below, she uses that little spark aoe thing
also stay away
or just dash strike back and forth through her
deflect dash could deflect it
so time ur dash well
the circle aoe thing
try stay away from her and see where the circle spawns
when u get used to it, u can try time ur dash, dash away from circle and go swing her a few
after she does it 4 times, u should have like 2-3 sec to damage her b4 she moves again
that's about it for Meg
normally u should only take dmg from the small spark and 1 -2 circle
if u keep taking dmg from dash or her close range aoe, u might wanna stop dmg her and learn her pattern first
a bit risky, so i think play it safe might be a better start
for me it's alecto > meg > tis
does tisiphone have less hp or smth? she seems to die really fast
alecto even has her own rage bar
Alecto's attacks are worse versions of Meg's + bladerifts.
Tisiphone has the most HP; Meg has the least.
probably because only she has 66% and 33% immune dmg?
the other 2 goes immune 75% 50% 25%
makes sense
Say that to him at 50+ Heat with EM4. 
you should be able to fight him if you shoot him enough 
met & beat hades for the first time 🙂 dio/zeus boon + a lot of lightning stuff was very cool to play
on hera bow
do it
Congratulations! 
gonna leave the 2nd attempt run later lol
feel like i need some refresh Charon fight
I didn't know what I was doing the first time so I cheated to get me all the aspects and companions. Now I wanna do it all over. Lol!
gl
do u wanna know? would be spoiler
no, good point, but did i miss anything after beating hades for the first time that should explain it to me? or is it later
no, you didn't miss anything
but i suppose i could tell u a little hint
nectar looks like a sweet drink, right?
dayum
Ambrosia does look like a fancier version of it, yes?
from there, u prolly could speculate when u could use it
lol how'd you know she even exists in game O_O
anyway, if you beat Hades first time, u would eventually see her
excellent 😄
lol i guess people kinda spoil her existence
Know what nectar is for?
I thought you only have tto make it to the dad battle to unlock demeter
you're correct
êtes-vous conscient que votre nom est mal orthographié?
my name is not mispelled
j'acquiesce
Okay
why does everyone love chaos shield so much I maxed it out just to see what the talk was all about but its so weird... maybe im not playing it right but it just seems like a way worse chiron bow is there a specific way im supposed to be using it that im missing?
chaos shield is interesting. It feels less powerful for me anyway, but get the stuff going and it actually becomes pretty good. As a blind player, it's my go to aspect for shield since Beowulf is a bit too clunky for my taste.
Most gods that inflict status works, and Zeus on the special too. Hm now I wonder if Artemis with Hunters mark could be a viable idea.
ah my mistake was i went aphro on the special
so chaos shield is extremely boon reliant ig
Aphro could work, but I think literally any other god that can benefit from multiple enemies being cursed is better. Then Zeus for the ... actually Zeus on special wouldn't be too good because of the cooldown. But Demeter, Dio and Ares could definitely work.
Heh I suppose if you've got Aphro already you could go Artemis on attack, hope for a double strike hammer and then hope you get the Aphro Art duo
It might also be that Chaos Shield got nerfed at a certain point a bit, so it's no longer as insane as prior prophecies may claim

Though it's still one of the more potent ones if you know what to do with it
which sword aspect shall i unlock first? 😄
nemesis seems solid, poseidon seems interesting
Nemesis is probably the best first pick, since it's well-rounded
It’s up to your playstyle, Nemesis is your typical sword meanwhile Poseidon is a cast weapon usually, both are great picks
excellent
K so, the potential in Poseidon comes from dislodge, while as Nemicis comes from the crit. So outside picking it based on playstyle, Poseidon's main thing comes at lvl 1, the added cast damage is just a bonus.
Tell you though, if you can play Poseidon sword it annihilates things sooooo hard.
thanks guys 🙂 ill try it all
just make sure you use plenty of lube
You'd better not give Gilgamesh a hard time boyo. I also hate the sword pretty hardcore, but Poseidon is nice.
what is your favourite?
favourite all time aspect?
Yes 🙂
Eris
hm I really like Rama and Gilgamesh
Hades spear is meh. All spears are meh in terms of gameplay but Achillis op for hunting blades and the like
Yeah, it’s pretty meh in general
you thinking Achillis? Cause Hades is a debuff, but not sure how much the debuff is. The sweep feels pretty cool though
Compared to Eris, I definitely like Eris more
like one sweep hits half a room heh
I mean Hades spear, and a debuff. Sorry, wrong words lol
gotta go with Rama
I probably like the rotation of Hades spear tbh
and gun with the hammer upgrade 300% aoe increase, most fun
Trying to spin first before doing big damage makes it feel varied
Eris, I just let go of the special and try to stand in it. But even if I didn’t manage to do that, Zeus on attack is already doing much damage
Teleport
sure, no one can deny how powerful it is. But I prefer the playstyle of Lucifer.
Big mobility, yes
I'm a bow user. Says I without never having tried Artemis on Zagbow
i loved bow
i still have to unlock the aspects you mentioned i think
tried chaos shield earlier but it was hard to notice
you have to max chaos to be effective
and it's one of those aspects that catch you off guard by how much damage it's doing. And it's definitely heavily dependent on the right boons.
ah i see
don't worry everytime I play it I think wow this sucks then stuff dies and I'm like ... huh nice.
dude the weird meta between people who are just good like me and the pros is crazy. Like Zeus aspect is apparently the best in the game according to world record. As an average player I think Zeus is nice but second to last on my shield aspect list.
yeah, but not max speed vs heat. 64 seeded is apparently held by Zeus
There's only been a few ever completed 64 heats
It's ridiculously hard and not difficult to understand why Zeus shield is good
i believe the 62 unseed run is also Zeus aspect?
Hell, you can block while your shield flies around
I jus tcan't get the shield in the right spot.
The precise mix of offensive and defensive contributes to its power
Try shooting it at skelly for practice on how far the shield can reach
nah, it's just a matter of being a blind player. My take on aspects is probably a lot different.
you wanna jojo the shield mostly anyway
the reason i like bow over gun a little bit is because
bow can stagger enemies easily lol
gun attack does not 😦
thats what you got gun special for ;)
yeah, as i said, i like bow a bit more
get the best of both worlds then. Chiron with Poseidon special and sea storm.
gun's still WAY better than sword/fist to me
shield/spear i got mixed feeling though
meh. Yall are wrong
melee is just hard+risky bad combination

spear with the upgrade spin, lovely
if not, the special, i guess a bit boring to use vs other?
and attack, doesn't feel that fun
shield, a bit boring with block lol
I think Guan spear is fun.
Achilles is of course just effective.
I like big numbers on Beo
Spear special is fun the first time you got Exploding Launcher. After the honeymoon phase is over, it feels meh to just spam special over and over again 
Hunting for Duos is going a little too well....
Guan Yu special, to an extent
well at least maybe u can clear the fate list? XD
But I can only pick one 😢
I think the spear blade of Guan spinning through the air is the coolest thing ever.
That, the Rama special and exploding orbs on Lucifer are my three favourite moves, without considering other things like ease of use, strength, viability etc.
Gilgamesh is just fun as a whole ... I swear if I say Gilgamesh one more time someone's gonna murder me.
Dw, say it All you like
Gilga may not be the best but goddamn do I like looking at Zag cosplaying a furry
His idle pose changes too
The paws are adorable
quick question, i cant seem to give nector through demeter or aphrodite's boons, missing their keepsakes, is this normal?
Uh, no
hm, strange, its just not bringing up the option
were u in a duo room?
Yeah you can't do it in trials or shops
oh that might have been the case, although for demeter it was the first boon i encountered after defeating hades and starting a new run, wasnt able to give nectar
yeah the first time u meet the gods, u can't gift
ahh
or is Aphrodite your waifu and u gift her nectars all the time? that could be too
nah thats dio 😉
Can't be, hasn't gotten her keepsake yet
must have been a shop and didnt realise it
Cyrus voices Dio, Ares and Theseus! Keep that in mind next you bash the king's face in
oof
feel like a lot of people dun play hell mode?
...what talk? Where?
You might be looking at comments from Early Access? Chaos Aspect was nerfed a lot in 1.0.
both 
How hard is it is Hades on EM4?
Very doable if it's just EM4 and no other pacts.
Might take some practice, of course.
He sounds real hard
Especially when he has phase 3
That moment when he gets up again after all 3 death defiances on his second phase just to see you are pretty much screwed because he recovers and you barely have any health left
Pretty much just learn his new move and U’ll take him down
It’s why you need practice to do it, you have to have good knowledge of the first 2 phases to minimize the dmg you take, and he also spawns minibosses instead of just normal enemies, so it’s a learning curve, and as Nyaanyaa said other pacts can be the real problem like FO2 HL5 or TD3
You don’t always have that choice at high heat unless you’re taking some whacky pact
Yea that’s fair
Also, lose all DD?
That elyium guy
Pray he would pop up and say hi
And dun lose to em3 🙂
You don't take EM4 in high heat till very high in general
I took it just to try at some point, but yea most people would consider EM4 around 55+
I think our advice is changing on that. If you want the clear, period, don't ever ever take EM4. If you want to go wayyyy further in heat progression, take EM4 even if it sucks as early as possible.
yeah EM4 combined with some of the high heat pacts are REALLY bad
So, how does people usually use Lucifer? Just tried a couple of runs with it, and it feels like a glorified Zag rail, but nicer, detonable special. The hammers for Lucifer are pretty nice as well
But it really isn’t that much different from Zag rail, wasn’t it? Or I’m playing it wrong?
I find flash fire hammer to be an absolute game changer, but YMMV and yes it does have a zag rail feel with the ton of ammo
What’s so special about Beowulf? I prefer hera tbh
The recent run I had with Lucifer, I got Triple Beam and Triple Bomb, alongside Zeus attack. Feels very close to just a Zag rail, but the special bomb are doing a ton of damage, ngl
Well, Beo got a bug where Mirage Shot does full damage on the second cast shot as well
Am I the only one who didn't see hades in the background of the titlescreen? Finally found him a while ago and was like "wait that's epic af"
Also, melee weapon with both attacking and defensive utilities
is a shield/cast dont lodge/bugs
I see
and even without mirage shot bug is still a great weapon as an aside
Zeus on attack, some % on Special, Poseidon on the dash, stronk build
Triple bomb gud hammer
Sounds just like my usual setup on Eris 
It basically is you just play it differently because you don’t run into your specials, there is no point
It's a shield, it has huge AoE on every cast (instead of just like, boxy AoE in front like with Crush Shot Hera), the casts don't lodge, and you're granted a huge attack bonus after you cast that synergizes remarkably well with Deadly Strike
But most of all, it's a shield, it's perfect safety
That’s almost the setup I had in the last run as well, although I had Dio on dash
With Hera, if your target doesn't die from the first volley of casts... welp, I guess you're terrible Zag Bow now.
Just checked the Wiki, apparently you can dash while just holding down attack without interrupting the attack ramp
Sounds like it would be good with Artemis or Aphro?
I’ll try it next
Gonna re-bind my attack to right trigger
You could
Zeus just too good, a lot of good boons if you were to put him on the attack, and since it fires fast, it’ll work well, here is how my Lucifer runs typically end up lol https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/725021639506526249/829446763432902697/unknown.png
While this is true, keep in mind that if you are attacking while dashing with (any) aspect, but especially Lucifer, you don't have any iframes
So... care lol
Yeah, what doesn’t bode well with me about a build like that is that it feels like how I would normally run any rail besides Hestia. It’s very strong though, hence meta status for rail I guess
Focusing on the ramping with Heartbreak Strike is great for single-target damage.
Experienced this first hand just now lmao
Heartbreak Strike > Deadly Strike?
heh. "Especially Lucifer" is because Lucy doesn't have any natural way to deal with projectiles, so your iframes are gold
That’s true, it can get repetitive
Although I am building Heart Rend on this right now
Always.

consistent good damage vs 15% for nice damage
aphro good
Lol, I prefer Artemis if I'm meming that way (but I typically end up Zeus anyway). Access to support fire is nice
8 minutes best time? Sheesh
Got Heart Rend on Asphodel 
is it possible to get sack in the first room?
No
Does Nourished Soul do anything with maxed LC?
Nope.
Can’t even sell it
it makes you cry a little inside
2 minutes for hades 
Why is Meg complaining about my boons the cutest thing ever
got +100% special damage with hazard bomb eris
this is gonna be fun
Btw why are there onions in the room where all the shades are working
Never noticed them
Cuz they suck
Bow bounties done. When I started playing I thought the bow sucked and that I would never play it again. Now Rama and Hera are my most successful Aspects.
Same everything started when I decided to try out hera
:3 That's a lot more satisfing than sub 10 with 9:00:01
heh ive been trying
i always seem to get distracted and i lose minutes. Or I screw around and accidentally build a wicked speed build and its too late heh. I've had some where Ive beat hades in like 35s
Basically 35s or literally 35s? Because 35 seconds is an insanely good Hades fight
I've had so many runs that could have been my pb, then 5 sack vermin

12 clears on this file with like 6 vermins 
whats the spawnrate even supposed to be normally
iirc it's about 33 percent or smth
It's always 50%. Either it will spawn, or it won't.
well theres 5 styx mini bosses so that's 20% chance when you take a skull door
that doesn't make sense lol. there could be a 20 percent chance it spawns and an 80 that it doesn't, that's still "Either it will spawn or it won't" (unless 50% is the actual percentage) Kat
well anyways how long you think till nyx unlocks me the other half of the mirror again 
I assumed it was a joke but at this point I have no clue on if people on the internet can do math 
I cannot answer about the dealings on the Fates my child.
I got it on my first 5 runs in my hell mode save 
The Fates were kind towards you my child.
im like at 14 think and grabbed every key upgrade already smh
not that it would be immediately useful, SD is worse than DD for 5 heat imo
feelsbadman
i want ze dark foresight smh
does champion have flavor text for you reaching them while having the yarn of ariadne?
i don’t think i’ve ever been there with it active
yes, multiple ones
i will go
12.5%
Hello! Where do I report a bug? I just found one.
thanks
Good question - What is the highest amount of damage you can get up to in one hit and what's the best way to get there?
Crit last hit of Arthur backstab with every buff possible?
hard labor max
chaos more damage debuff
gilga effect
while also getting backstabbed with achilles trinket
on hell mode during a multi-hit high damage atk
while under td -5 tick
I misread
Wait did I? Did he talk about damage you can deal, or damage you can take
unknowable
Anyone saw anything like the "bug" I posted on tech support? I am very confused about it. Anyone know how could that happen?
unknowable
:/
I have never encountered such a bug
I get spirits stuck in various places too
well i do sometimes have souls stuck in a wall or something
they do unstick after a while
Still annoying on tight dedline
i wonder what the longest td3 run could be
With divine protection it could be endless
Even without protection, Put a million poms into Athena's Aid, get 2 Athena DDs, Chaos DD, Skelly Tooth, with Stubborn Roots + Flurry Slash / Cursed Slash Zag Sword lol
(use call last)
Nah Smoldering won't work since the call only prevents the tick damage should you already be a 0 life already
Oh
20 minutes 
timer still runs after 0 😉
Theoretically infinite with divine protection iirc
ya unholy mentioned
If you don't get hit it'll stop you from dying
Does dodge chance apply to timer procs
worlds longest no hit lol
So what, you find Divine Protection, you can ignore TD?
No
athena legendary
And it has to be up
technically
Nvm you're right
If you’re at 1, and divine protection is active, you won’t die to time

I just got zeus legendary as my 3rd boon of the run
Love to see it
While having hidden chamber rewards
divine prot + smoldering aphro = profit?
Also fellow Celeste enjoyer 
How about divine protection + smoldering Athena
I like Celeste
Celeste chapter 9 is the best level from any game I’ve ever played in my life
Bought the game on September 13.
I have 150+ hours
what am I doing with my life
170 hours actually
Is the achievement bad call bugged or smth? I am 100% certain I have used a greater call in a trial
Of the opposing god
Watching Tailesque play Arthur at 46 heat. Two things. One, they are using Fidi. I have never used that companion, seems good. Two, holy hell, the weaving in and out is on the next level.
I think PeachHead probably has the best Arthur mechanics, but he's not particularly versed in high heat (he does have 50 heat attempts though that are still really educational)
Or magnil but they play everything lol
wouldn't she say Aphro so that you'll pick her first
Ok I'll pick aphro then
Zeus is chaotic at first until you sorta figure out the pattern
Aphro is like, you think you can evade it and then it hits and stuns you
Aphro is good for damage right
Aphrodite and Poseidon have the worst trials, although Athena’s can be bad in Elysium
Demeter trials on melee are pain
demeter bad
I have gun with Zeus attack and aphro dash
good stuff
artemis dash is good if you dash-strike a lot
Drunken dash is good for DC2
How much health is good for hades
Demeter dash doesnt exist 
Bruh
Then it’s a fair fight
depends on your skills, your heat, your boons/item and how many death defiances you have on hand
With 34K health, then the fight will be even 
267hp and 4 DDs sounds good.
I got proud bearing and aphro call
Do you have the build that can kill him faster than he can kill you, though?
Idk I think I have good stufftho
Just use how well it ran against the earlier bosses as a basis.
My special does like 400-500
If it killed them pretty fast and you kept your head above water without losing even one DD to any of them, you are probably good.
And I have a pretty good attack
I have no personal experience in Lady Aphrodite's trials, only a heretic would have.
What is your heat at?
Wtf is heat
Regardless, anyone who scorns the Goddess of Love and Beauty will be fed to my sacred crocodiles.
Me: Picks Zag fists
Skelly: “That would have been my pick!”
Me: 
I haven't beaten hades yet
Oh.
Is that a post game thing?
Yeah, don't worry about it. You are well equipped to take him on.
Just be careful and don't push your luck. Keep a distance and get a feel for his moveset first.
That depends on the player. For me, any amount of HP greater than 0 is a decent amount. 
crocodiles are more egyptian, no?
Maybe snakes or your chimeras?
wow chimera enemy that’s a good idea for a dlc boss
DLC 
That would be a hell of a treat
I wouldn't mind the addition of different types of runs to the game.
free dlc like hk
And different types of enemies.
Hades has a decent game loop and story.
I wouldn't mind playing Hades 2.
Or Hades: The Expansion.

I GOT HIM WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nice
it is possible
some of the dialogues have a tiny hint for a possible sequel
How do I get into the locked room in the house
That’s Hades’ room
Progress through the story to find out.
i mean, if he really wanna know, wouldn't mind to tell the answer
Dangggggg
Ok but how do I unlock the hidden aspects of weapons
And how can I get more titan blood
Mmmm, unlock the three aspects and then play with the weapon some more.
u dun have to unlock all the apsects
Titan blood? Do runs with heat, rinse and repeat.
but for each weapon, u gotta spend, i think 5 blood
Also, do prophecies.
in Styx, Charon will offer either titan blood for 1.2k or diamond 1k
so, that's also one way to get blood; get rich! 😄
and if u think that's expensive, try visit Charon's shop during the mid-run
Hades is a sore loser
there's two type of Charon's shop, 1 b4 the boss fight, and 1 during mid
He's punishing me because I beat him
if u visit the mid shop, u might find something interesting that would help u buy things...
Oh try that next time I see it
i'm excluding the shop in styx
yeah, if you have a spent SD and get Last/Deathless stand you get a DD
then the next room you refill your SD and now have 2 revives
is it just me, or Hades the game had some of the hardest aoe to dodge in game...
if you have a spent SD
If you spent it, how would you have it?
like, you spent it so you have the empty circle
*you have the empty SD slot
might have been a better wording
But you don't have the spent SD anymore. You spent it. 
empty SD card slot jokes incoming
How often do you guys go into a chaos gate
Nice
sometimes i check and see if i'm about to fight boss
it could be dangerous if you fight boss with Chaos effect
Take that chaos 
pass that, unless you have a boon or hammer u want, chaos's good
Anyone knows how to get the "War God's Blood Lust" Prophecy, I mean how to guarantee to get it. It is the last achievement for me to complate the game %100. I am over 42k kills but it still don't drop for me.
i think u gotta talk to him a lot too
Did you speak to him and did he note how much bloodshed or whatever you’ve split?
Wait I just realized that Gilgamesh dash strike does less damage than base fists dash strike 
Wow
Why tho
unfortunate https://imgur.com/Cwlpwn4
fo2 is fun
cp2 not really
got a feeling he's challenging himself anyway
Lol basically. The only "fun" I get out of CP2 is when my build is so broken I don't notice.
Let me guess, you took 150 damage to a Hades pot?
There’s a lot of room to do that, since Hades has 44,200 health with that pact 
cursed nickname. cursed pact. checks out
personally, i think the most amazing thing about it
he made it to Hades with that with a sword
wait that mirror is cursed too
Hi how to fix this error where the game crashes right after the Main Menu shows up?
No dark foresight 
Fresh file
lol
if u say so
speaking of that
i wanna reconfirm something
u said fresh file, even make it to Elysium is hard with 30 hrs practicing, right?
on normal mode
Yes. Especially because there are a lot of Tartarus resets due to not seeing Ares or getting bad boons
why reset?
Because I need to get ME or at least Divine Protection. If my Tartarus boons suck, it saves more time to just reset early
Deadly flourish 
but
i did go in on that attempt with 1 hp
so i guess no problem, if i beat the hydra no damage
Cool.
All this but you still haven’t done 32 heat?
Stop spamming random images 
point? i claimed make into Elysium fresh file is easy
to me anyway
and u said i'm bragging
You’re so obnoxious
if u trust me, then it's fine
but you dun, so i gotta proof it
so for random, not really
just to show u a few attempts on fresh file of mine that could make into Elysium
You really went “oh you have trouble getting to elysium. Hah! Here’s a ton of images of me beating Lernie! Look, I beat Meg hitless! It’s literally EASY!”
Please please shut up.
It’s very obvious that’s what you’re doing
dw, this is the only time i would do it
well, unfortunately, u like proof
didn't u say u want a SS of me finish fresh file?
No.
I said I want a full video
But at this point I don’t care if you’re lying or not
I just want you to stop gloating and shut up
the troll part is kinda true lol
just a reminder to everyone here about the first rule of the server, which is to be kind.
about me?
I assume they mean about me 
balls
Any weapon
There's optimal builds I know of for most weapons - i.e. you want Heart Rend with Nemesis, ME on fists, etc
But what about Demeter's boons?
chiron special with demeter is nice, stack the 10 debuff almost instant
meme beam time 
Lmao at that point just play glacial glare
arctiv blast would be good if it was better
Definitely Zeus attack, look for jolted. Also tidal dash is very good
thats not demeter 
but yes it is v funny
Demeter boon, to clarify
but attack is prereq for arctic blast 
one of
interesting you say that right under a moderator’s message telling people to be kind
Zappy cold beam is also prereq to arctic blast
trolerd
Ohhh. Uhh
I have no idea
rare crop is epic : )
One of these days I'm gonna say the wrong thing once too many times and get reprimanded
the 64 heat seed guy uses demeter attack and Zeus aspect
dont think beams or glacial glare are prereqs for it 
they arent
glaciar glare is the requisite for nothing
Makes all the more sense that you'd go glacial glare after you get arctic blast then
Zappy beam stacks chill and blasts people into orbit
Leave my filthy casual gaming alone
I'd go mad the day I tried 64 heat unmodded
It was seeded
Honestly Demeter attack and special boons are pretty bad unfortunately
Pretty much no good place for them imo
eris
eris
Yeah Dionysus attack is actually pretty good
but id just go zeus smh
eris dio is fun smh
Eris uses drunken for the heat wr I think
smouldering air more fun smh
At that point why not use fists
you want aphro anyways so whats stopping you from adding zeus for 3rd or 4 god
true
Drunken strike Eris is often used for AP2 RI2 because unlike lightning strike, which needs jolted, it doesn’t need any other boons to be great
Because fists are bad 
and the sword
Drunken sword is good, idk what else to tell you. I’m not an expert on it. I just know it’s good
SMH y'all gilga haters
Try 40 heat Gilgamesh and you’ll understand 
ummm, no, strictly speaking more like melee haters
That weapon is so bad that it’s actually painful to use
shield's an exception with block
Achilles is melee
spear in general can stay in mid-range
Flurry jab is melee. Hunting blades is not really melee
i dont have problems with sword/fists bc i dont do high heat with them 
Exactly, thank you
Yeah at low-mid heat no aspect feels unplayable
Why do high heat
eris rail is a melee aspect
i dont hate it
well, 32 heat with any sword/fist vs 32 heat with bow
Because low/mid heat are too easy for me and I don’t have to really try. So it’s not fun. (Keep in mind I have 600 hours in the game, this isn’t meant to come off as a flex)
You know why I said yeeeeeep now?
No
Cool, you don't have to
Idk what you want from me
You said why do high heat. The answer is to challenge myself
survival rooms with shields sure are fun 
And I wanted to clarify that I don’t expect everyone to find low heat easy. It’s just easy for me because I’ve sunk so much time into the game
pass 32 heat is all your own, no in-game challenges
though, if u said u beat 50 heat, i guess people will clap
I don’t see how that’s obnoxious. I made a specific effort to make sure my words wouldn’t be misinterpreted as a brag or a kind of superiority complex. Only that with so much time in the game I’ve gotten enough experience that I’ve needed to crank up the heat for a challenge. I apologize if you took offense to that
i think i already said i find all these entertaining
I wasn’t talking to you
No I don’t. Because you asked to specify where I was having trouble, then sent many images in an attempt to show me up and act like you’re better than me.
It’s very obvious that was your intention, you’re not fooling anyone
personally, i say we should put it behind
Well you asked.
so do u wish to bring it up again?
i prefer you say no btw, but if u say yes, i could go on
Wasted 2 death defiance on meg because the guan you keep charging too late that it keep getting interrupted
if u get the hammer upgrade
and let u charge spin faster
it'll be a different experience
Hammer keep giving me a upgrade that is lame
secret to guan yu is ignore the spin unless you get the quick spin hammer
and just spam special
the default charge speed is slow, u'll need to know when boss stops moving
It keep shoving me with special upgrade and I rarely ever use special
you should be using special
charged skewer = not really stonks but bearable guan yu
No idea how to utilize spear throw
well it mostly wants charged skewer
The spin is too slow to use on most bosses without Quick Spin. I’d generally ignore it outside of when enemies are spawning in normal rooms. Special and dash strike is gonna be your best source of damage. Look for charged skewer, serrated point, breaching skewer in that order of priority. Nyaa has a guide on Guan Yu, you may want to check that out.
guan yu with sucky hammers is fun 
you can ignore the aspect if you just play smoldering air 
aphro attack plus zeus call = ez except its guan yu so its just okay
buys yarn of ariadne for possibile fully loaded
no artemis at all in styx

not even hermes
is it just me, or no damage on Charon is a lot harder than it looks? O_O
fo2 hl5 charon ez
pretty much would KO me
worst part is the all direction purple skull + his melee
try to practice on him even worse, when he doesn't spawn all the time
just do dodge build and avoid all the damage 
lol i dun have that
when i do it for real
i gotta go with this
1 hit will die
got the Zeus dash, quite unlucky
athena gives special, so no help
i have double dash, but still hard
just dont die smh
