1150 approximately

#

this run has horse poop damage

twin thistle
#

ig helps if when you get poisoned you can pause to figure out where the curing wells are

#

zeus attack plus jolted isnt poop damage?

high island
#

Well, that's gonna change when you buy his boons.

strong ridge
#

i’m pray 4 u splitting

#

🙏

high island
#

Buy the 450 boon first.

shadow quarry
#

idrk, i'm going for hades just for the titan blood to get the guan yu spear

strong ridge
#

then buy blood

shadow quarry
#

or any other 3 cost tbh

strong ridge
#

then death will not impede ur resources

#

but if u want to win get the boons

shadow quarry
#

yeah, i'm hella not familiar with the gun

#

delta chamber carried this run kinda

high island
#

Have some confidence. You can get some pretty decent damage with Eris and so many Lord Zeus boons.

shadow quarry
twin thistle
#

tbh winning once gives access to a lot more titan blood

strong ridge
#

i mean low lvl eris is kinda meh

twin thistle
#

its still rail

strong ridge
#

ya

high island
#

Delta Chamber keeps your dash i-frames during Dash-Strikes, so that's really good.

shadow quarry
#

a god facetanking run was crushed by the all sides lazer

twin thistle
#

you need to practice dad fight anyways

shadow quarry
#

from the second phaze

#

i mean yeah

high island
#

Low level Eris is still a better aspect than most other aspects in the game.

shadow quarry
#

and i dont have the willpower to not spend on anything

twin thistle
strong ridge
#

ya it’s not bad lol just the damage is a fair amt lower than higher lvl

shadow quarry
#

for 2 more runs

strong ridge
#

still good thou it can take u real far

shadow quarry
#

how close is that

twin thistle
#

a single titan blood wont do much of anything tbh

shadow quarry
#

just dont cast while next to him

high island
shadow quarry
twin thistle
#

because the pushback from casting is enough to knock you into the lasers

strong ridge
#

we like the big big numbers

BIG

high island
#

Nice. Now buy the other one and let me know what boons he's offering.

twin thistle
#

uh idk lemme find vidya

twin thistle
#

there we go residentzag

its like really close

shadow quarry
#

lightning rod?

#

i dont have any faster fallout thingeys

high island
#

What are the other options?

shadow quarry
#

or +2 bounce

#

or revenge 100 dmg lightning

high island
#

Do you have Double Strike or High Voltage yet?

shadow quarry
#

instead of dodging them

shadow quarry
#

2 hammer

#

homing and delta chamber

high island
#

Take Storm Lightning. That will unlock his legendary.

shadow quarry
#

wdym

#

didnt you say go for the win not the unlocks or smth

high island
#

Storm Lightning is a prerequisite for Splitting Bolt.

shadow quarry
#

yeah but like

high island
#

Yes. We wanna try to get Splitting Bolt from him.

shadow quarry
#

i literally cant

#

last zeus boon

high island
#

You said there were two in the shop and one in a tunnel.

#

Lightning Strike > Storm Lightning > Splitting Bolt. That's three boons.

oak gull
shadow quarry
#

nope, i bought both, and completed the tunnel

shadow quarry
oak gull
#

alternative is to read his move before he pulls it off and take cover behind a big rock

twin thistle
#

so what boons did you get from him?

shadow quarry
#

ima just stay away

shadow quarry
#

some unimportant boon

twin thistle
#

which is?

shadow quarry
#

was pretty bad tho

#

cant check, inside the boon picking up thingy

#

i take the duo boon right?

high island
#

You can.

twin thistle
#

lightning rod?

high island
#

Probably Lightning Rod, yeah.

twin thistle
#

tbh you can just throw your bloodstones in the middle and just run around for 5 minutes and dad will have killed himself

#

with that

high island
#

Well. Definitely Lightning Rod.

#

hermes

high island
#

Ah.

#

Yeah, Lord Hermes.

twin thistle
#

ppl seem to misspell boon a lot bouldy

#

i didnt do anything

shadow quarry
twin thistle
#

if you get hypersprint/greatest reflex from hermes thatll help alot

strong ridge
#

i love bon

shadow quarry
#

i really just did that

#

wait really? i thought the almighty hades would drop more than one titan blood

twin thistle
#

beating him means you can access more anyways

#

also see buying zeus = damage bouldy

high island
#

Congratulations!

bright dome
fast willow
shadow quarry
twin thistle
#

the first win = access to the pact of punishment

#

aka heat/difficulty system

#

which you can use to earn boss rewards again

#

so if you use it, thats already 6 more titan blood from the furies again

shadow quarry
#

wait i can beat the women and get le reward

twin thistle
#

yeah. but phrasing bouldy

fast willow
#

"beat the women" you have to see how that sounds right

twin thistle
#

to get more than the 6 from the furies you still have to keep beating dad tho

shadow quarry
#

do i get contracter jobs for 2 diamonds

#

or do i trade it for the last titan blood needed for gyuan yu

#

and should i take it?

#

it sounds fun

#

but the shield sounds broken

#

how do i unlock it though

#

the shied aspect

fast willow
shadow quarry
fast willow
#

If you can try to get vanquishers keep

shadow quarry
#

what is that

fast willow
#

it gives gems each time you beat a boss

#

so it pays for itself after a few runs basically

twin thistle
#

dont trade diamonds for titan blood

twin thistle
shadow quarry
twin thistle
fast willow
#

also as a note guan yu is pretty hard to use at lv1 because it reduces you to 30% of your health

twin thistle
#

depends on how good you are not getting hit

shadow quarry
#

will it get me the titan blood needed for sacrifices other hidden aspects

twin thistle
#

you dont need to unlock guan yu for the other hidden aspects btw

#

just have the option to unlock it available

shadow quarry
#

ik that i dont need it

fast willow
#

atleast imo

gray apex
#

It's rather safe

#

For a Special build

shadow quarry
#

should i take it tho, kuz im kinda bored with the regular spear

twin thistle
#

guan yu at lvl 1 puts you at 15 base hp

shadow quarry
#

gaming

gray apex
#

Yea keep it locked or lv5

#

no in between

#

Unless you're memeing

twin thistle
#

frm experience i dont recommend it lvl 1

shadow quarry
#

meming is good, very troll

gray apex
#

From Experience, I don't recommend it as a starter weapon bouldy

bright dome
#

Is Charon really that hard or i just need to pratice a little more? I've tried to beat him 4 times and lost

marsh rivet
#

He's scaled for the end of runs, so he's quite hard in Tartarus. He hits about as hard as Dad and has about as much health lol

stray urchin
#

when on satyrs, can the sack drop on the two mini boss tunels?

twin thistle
#

it just cant drop in the first tunnel youre clearing

devout terrace
#

but on HL0 bouldy

#

the oar does 80 damage dude

#

thats nuts

twin thistle
#

ngl id rather fight dad than charon especially if theres fo2 bouldy

#

fo2 charon is sus

guan yu spin attack on em4 hades summoning doom stone is top tier gaming

So easy to just stunlock

high island

#

My memoryresidentzag

#

Probably havent fought him in half a year

fallow yew
#

Pretty sure Burning Blood from the skulls causes it to deal 80

#

But yeah base damage should be 50

high island
#

Charon doesn't apply Boiling Blood.

twin thistle
devout terrace
high island
#

Spin base damage from Hades is 40.

twin thistle
#

heh

devout terrace
#

yes because gifs are links

#

so stupid

twin thistle
#

also how do you not take damage from charon on fo2 bouldy

high island
devout terrace
#

would link cgull's max heat charon fight but it would time me out bouldy

twin thistle

fo2 on fists shadeohboy

It timed me out like twice lol

#

Picked up the game after not playing for a while

#

How I've missed seeing 4 digit crits from Arthur

calm zenith
#

5 digit crits

lone kernel
#

What’s the most damage that you could do with one attack, limited to any five boons of your choice pepethink pepethink

gray apex
#

That's a tough question

gray apex
#

I can't think of anything at all lol

modern garnet
#

If you can shared suffering a bunch of enemies beforehand, you'd do an explosive shot aphrodite boon rama attack, the enemy is marked with hunters mark and gets critted, and then some chaos attack buffs

#

Oh and maybe heartrend idk

lone kernel
#

There’s way too many variables isn’t there haha

devout terrace
#

Those last 2 purely optional tbh

#

Oh and triple point blank hammers kinda good

chrome wharf
#

Fiery Presence and Priv Status, Sigil, turn on DC2, Hestia Heartbreak Strike + a non-damaging status, hit twice to remove hearts and apply weak + something else, 2 Chaos dash-strike boons, Hunter's dash, then dash-attack

oak gull
calm zenith
#

I didnt actually get heart rend on a run where I was doing 4500 damage crits on the final combo hit

#

You could swap out hunters mark for a chaos boon if you just want the highest potential. No reliable crits though.

lone kernel
#

I love that this theory craft debate has taken off

#

Beo flood deadly strike mirage pp breaking wave maybe?

mint coral
#

Why B.wave?

lone kernel
#

Probably not. (I’m not using chaos or hammer here)

#

Bad news

#

wait no Stygian

#

I bamboozled myself didn’t I

mint coral
#

Getting RD through plume and stacking a bunch of ichors seems like a stupid way to pass the 5 boons limit dusa

high island
modern garnet
#

You do need at least 1 crit likelihood increase to make crit possible

devout terrace
high island
#

Well, Hunter's Mark on its own doesn't give you crit chance. You'd need Pressure Points, but not Hunter's Mark.

devout terrace
#

Final answer

lone kernel
#

Prob works

high island
#

Passion Flare, Mirage Shot, Shot, Shot, Pressure Points.

#

Actually no, Mirage Shot is two hits.

#

Passion Flare, Shot, Shot, Shot, Pressure Points.

#

Since Trippy Flare only does 2x damage when it crits... but the base damage and pom scaling is higher. Not sure which one would do more on a crit. thanthink

#

Don't have the time to do the math now. dusa

#

So uh I just found out in some Greek books is that Hades is Persephone uncle

#

And I think they still got married

marsh rivet
#

That's like, D-tier scandal by Greek Mythology standards lol

narrow hemlock
#

the important thing is acknowledging creation myths are generally Like That and it shouldnt still be a surprise, but also that it doesnt excuse it in modern retellings either

marsh rivet
#

Basically everyone is Zeus' niece or nephew

halcyon girder
#

Hm

#

Also Zeus is a hoe

narrow hemlock
#

lets keep it clean

halcyon girder
#

Hm

narrow hemlock
#

this is an all ages server

thorny mirage
#

literally everyone in greek mythology is related

halcyon girder
#

Sorry

thorny mirage
#

in most mythologies they’re all related

#

Just don’t think about it

halcyon girder
#

I wonder why the Greek heroes well almost all Greek heroes ends with the word eus

#

Theseus Perseus

#

And other kings

marsh rivet
#

They poked fun at it in one of the dialogue bits of the game, but in some myths Zag is actually Dionysus, and in some he's the child of Zeus and Persephone, when Zeus decided to get some by disguising himself as a serpent then "visiting" Persephone.

halcyon girder
#

Oh yeah he um that to Hades wife

#

But Hades did "visit" nyx but nyx was the one who first to did that

#

Like found Hades and demanded I think

#

What is zagrues the god of

marsh rivet
#

Talking back to Hades

halcyon girder
#

Probably the god of blood like they said because he literally out for blood to unlock weapons

marsh rivet
#

In Greek Mythology, being the "God of" something doesn't mean that's the only thing you can do. Most of the gods have pretty wide generic power and choose it express it in depending on their personalities and interests

halcyon girder
#

Yeah true like Athena the god of war and wisdom she can't be both gods but she can but then Ares becomes the god of war

#

But she is still kinda the god of war and wisdom

marsh rivet
#

Hera is the God of yeeting babies lol

#

I love Greek Mythology. So brutal and petty

halcyon girder
#

Hm

#

Apollo and Artemis went out on a murderous rampage

#

Because one stupid woman bragged about she has many kids than

#

The goddese leto

#

Aka their Apollo and Artemis mother

#

Both of them didn't kill the woman I think they just killed their children Artemis killed the girls and Apollo killed the boys

#

Also the gods turned leto into a rock because she was too sad

#

And demanded to be not sad

# weary vector whats a good beowulf build?

Poseiden or Aphrodite cast, Chaos boons that give additional Casts, Artemis attack or special, with Poseiden cast, you can get Mirage Shot, which for some reason, the 2nd blast for this aspect is not at 30% damage, but the same damage, so effectively doubling the cast damage output.

#

High confidence and the Firey attack mirror options are both needed in order to oneshot amored witches in Asphodel.

twin thistle
#

though high confidence mostly for speedrunning. use fiery either way though

weary vector
#

ill try poseidon for rupture

quiet lily
#

Mirage Shot is a really good duo for the build, so it's easier to get with Poseiden cast, Aphrodite is a little bit more damage but a smaller area.

weary vector
strong ridge
#

doesn’t poseidon legendary make it hit twice

weary vector
#

since i mostly use either poseidon aspect sword or hestia bestia rail

twin thistle
#

only the knockback

#

not the actual damage

strong ridge
#

so it doesn’t help proc sea storm

mint coral
#

It procs it

quiet lily
#

my last run, I ended with Ares' legendary, and Artemis' two Duo boons that boost casts, Mirage Shot and Hunting Blades.

#

when it all comes together, it is amazing

twin thistle
#

seastorn just needs knockback

strong ridge
#

ya

twin thistle
#

seastorm tbh wont really be doing much danage compared to the floodshot though

strong ridge
#

i just thought kb was tied in with the dmg

calm zenith
#

Yeah sea storm only gets silly when you have like

strong ridge
#

maim is balls btw

calm zenith
#

Both rapid and hard hitting damage

#

Like tidal dash

#

you're basically mixing two different scaling damage types and getting the most out of them. Then add in rupture and jolted, and you can even privileged status just from dash

#

Rupture also does solid damage to moving bosses

#

Mostly the champions

#

Just dash past em3 theseus and he'll rip off 15% of his hp just moving around the arena

strong ridge
#

breathe towards em3 thessus and he falls over and pisses his pants

calm zenith
#

But he can also hit you with a rocket for like 48 damage

#

does a non Poseidon shield attack pop sea storm

calm zenith
#

I believe the wording on that is boons?

#

But some poseidon boons work on shield

#

Non attack augmented. Any attack boon.

#

Actually I think it does work on shield knockback

twin thistle
#

yeah pretty sure the innate knockback procs it

mint coral
#

It does

#

Pretty sure sword thrust from the combo also does

frigid dove
#

why is the charon fight so rare...

#

I only got it twice and both times I had a terrible run

modern garnet
#

it's got an 11% chance of spawning

#

but it only appears in shops in the middle of a biome

frigid dove
#

all my weapons are at 8-10 skulls

#

and I only got it twice

modern garnet
#

if you skip mid-shops all the time you have a 0% chance of seeing his bag

frigid dove
#

I do not

#

especially when I have an awesome run

#

I take all the shops

#

does the "To Charon's Credit" achievement have anything to do with the fight?

#

im assuming it does

twin thistle
#

aint it 22%

frigid dove
#

did good today

#

only 8 more to go

fast willow
#

so it works with all knockback effects

grizzled barn
#

well boys... my 40 streak came to an end shadegrief

#

tried chiron bow again, got artemis special + aphro attack and heart rend, then got two daedalus hammers neither of which gave volley stuff D:

#

feels so bad having a pretty decent build going only to get undermined by RNGesus

high island
#

That's fine, Attack hammers can be pretty good, too.

grizzled barn
#

true but by that point i was well invested into chiron schtuffs. wasn't in the mentality to swap my playstyle by elysium :/

#

dont think there were many good options for attack hammers on the run anyways

high island
#

The Attack is also "Chiron schtuffs".

#

I find it quite unlikely that all six hammers options are bad. It's just inexperience with all the options you have and how to make the most of what you got. Don't worry, you'll get there. dusa

grizzled barn
#

(from my memory) i got sniper shot, piercing volley, perfect shot, and triple shot

high island
#

Piercing Volley is decent enough, Triple Shot is amazing, Perfect Shot is pretty good.

grizzled barn
#

i did pick up piercing volley but it didn't seem to be working or, at least, have any noticeable effect for me in my run

#

i got perfect shot too, but that didn't feel like it did much in elysium unless they had hunters mark on them

high island
#

Piercing Volley makes quick work of Greatshields and Theseus, and the armor damage bonus is nice against any elites and minibosses.

grizzled barn
#

speaking of greatshields! i realized during that run how much i disliked them when playing bow hehe

#

those mf'ers would tokyo drift when i'd dash behind them

high island
#

You just gotta bait out their attack before you dash.

fast willow
#

how do you play ||hades' EM4 theme|| from the court music stand?

dusky wedge
#

I notice people like Haelian never took their gems after a boss fight anymore, ever? Any reasons for that? Or just because of time?

Is Hades in your top 5 games of all time?

#

Trying to see something^ anyone can answer

vapid narwhal
#

Close

chrome wharf
#

probably, since I play very few games

vapid narwhal
#

I'd still put Halo 2, Mass Effect 2, either Ori game, Ace Combat Zero and Batman Arkham City above it but it's close

stone surge
#

what's the best aspect of exagraph?

#

not including hidden ones

chrome wharf
#

it's kinda hard to rank since different games are good in different aspects

stone surge
#

I like Enter The Gungeon

chrome wharf
#

Eris and Hestia are both good

i'll get eris since i'm low on titan blood

#

If 10min is the benchmark time for IGT speedruns, how many minutes it is for RTAs?

gray apex
twin thistle
#

is a 10 min igt gunna be often over 20 min rta thanthink

vapid narwhal
#

pretty often, if they pause frequent enough to think

#

the current any heat IGT WR of 5m32s takes 22min RTA, for example

dusky wedge
#

That’s already sound hard just hearing it shadegrief

gray apex
#

Well it's challenging, if you're actively trying to improve your RTA time you will get it in no time

#

Having a good IGT time doesn't necessarily mean that it's also fast RTA, there is a lot of pausing and thinking that you have to get rid of for RTA

#

Also transition rooms, story rooms etc..

twin thistle
#

just do shackle. dont have to worry about boons dusa

#

yeah also thanatos bouldy

fast willow
#

funny how speedrunners love or hate than depending on the speedrun category

#

and theres no inbetween

gray apex
#

He is a time waste for RTA yea

#

Just play modded bouldy

fast willow
chrome wharf
#

I was just gonna grumble about how the enemies Than spawns are harder but then realized speedruns don't use much heat

gray apex
#

It blocks Than with the RTA ruleset only

#

If you're playing with the IGT ruleset it doesnt block him

#

And yes it allows to set the minimum and maximum number of tunnels needed for the sack

clever thicket
gray apex
#

They can

fast willow
#

the erebus gate is not guaranteed to have the keepsake god because you may be at a heat that doesnt allow you to take the gate

it can have it though

by first you mean the leftmost one?

No I mean the first tunnel you choose, doesn’t matter which one in terms of position

kk

gray apex
#

Finding it in the second is like a 54% chance tho

#

But yea it’s rng

clever thicket
#

I wanna farm gems soon, what's the best way of doing that? My guess was start with poseidon keepsake, try and get the bonus% boon, enter any chaos gate I see and choose the bonus%one. Are there other things that can help me get gems or?

gray apex
#

Start with something for your build

#

Then take Poseidon into Asphodel

#

And check wells of Charon for Xions and yea look for Eclipse from Chaos

#

You can also buy gems from said well of charons

#

It’s a little amount but adds up across multiple runs

#

And if you havent done it already, buy the Contractor Upgrade that makes bosses drop Gemstones

clever thicket
gray apex
#

Yes you can

clever thicket
#

nice

whole comet
#

the best way prolly is still beat a run quick like TD3 with contractor upgrade

clever thicket
#

td3?

whole comet
#

tight deadline 3, or in other words, try finish a successful run fast

clever thicket
#

ah

whole comet
#

u get 110 gems from a run from just bosses

#

so, if u can clear a run quick, you would get them fast

#

fish gives gems too sometimes if u trade them

last veldt

I wish the house contractor would occasionally offer a way to convert anything you have into gems or darkness. I have diamonds, Titan blood and Ambrosia piling up big time.

how do i unlock the darkness sink thing?

that's it ^

how do i unlock that

Hades will eventually offer it

#

assuming u've cleared lots of run and always talk to Hades

brisk trail
#

Hey I just got the game, and I've been playing it for a little bit, I don't have the best motor functions. How fast do I have to be in the later game?

whole comet
#

lol speed is not a requirement

dusky wedge
#

You can take the game as slow as you want

brisk trail
#

only once you get the pact, for now you don't need to worry about speed

whole comet
#

but if u wanan do the tight deadline heat, it would be 36 min, 28 min, and 20 min

gray apex
#

Technically sub20 igt

whole comet

if u go over that, u will start take dmg overtime and eventually die

man, theory crafting all these builds is kinda depressing when you never get them in game :<

And you can stack Ice Wine

You will eventually

i'm still surprised how u guys manage to memorize all those duo boons names and effects

after the hours i've put in this game... how could i forget?

Those I can remember, pact names on the other hand

well i still dunno how to spell out CP without looking up O_O

Ice wine on trippy shot also makes it land much faster. It's really good.

i suppose that explains the extra stamina

ngl I’m a little tilted I didn’t win the spelling bee

whole comet
#

btw

#

does Beo and aphro cast give u one of the strongest aoe in game?

thorny mirage
#

I mean, iirc poseidon or dio cast is better

whole comet
#

well, i guess the same concept

#

any other weapon could do better than that?

#

i think rail is close, but a bit rely on hammer upgrade

dusky wedge
#

Achilles?

thorny mirage
#

pretty sure beowulf is like, pretty amazing rn. Might be the best aspect rn, especially since mirage shot is bugged with it

thorny mirage
#

just put eris or hestia and watch every thing die

whole comet
#

true

#

lol Achilles spin aoe?

mint coral
#

Hera + trippy flare bouldy

#

Or just the cast in general ig

last veldt
#

Shame scintillating feast doesn't work on trippy flair

#

Only trippy shot iirc

thorny mirage
#

Why wouldn’t it

#

The gas still stays right

mint coral
#

Yes

#

Trippy flare is similar to shot so it shouldnt block sci feast

last veldt
#

I thought it did though

thorny mirage
#

Huh

#

Apparently scint feast isn’t even offered?

last veldt
#

I'm sure I checked the boon codex

thorny mirage
#

if the wiki is right

#

since flare and shot are different boons

mint coral
#

Anyone who can check the codex rn dusa

thorny mirage
#

that’s real weird

last veldt
#

Same for ice wine I think

thorny mirage
#

bruh why

mint coral
#

Ice wine is possible

#

But it sucks

thorny mirage
#

the boon is basically the same tho

last veldt
#

Oh really? Good to know

mint coral
#

On beo/hera the explosion has a delay which is just pain

last veldt
#

Ohh

#

Yeah i remember now

mint coral
#

On something like achilles is better bc shot has to travel the arc and ice wine deletes that

last veldt
#

Right

mint coral
#

But on beo/hera you already have cast on command

last veldt
#

I like ice wine on shot

mint coral
#

Also dmg bonus is only a commom cast dmg from chaos dusa

spice hearth
#

scintillating feast is still available on Beo, it's one of my personal favorite duos on it

thorny mirage
#

Did you check the codex

spice hearth
#

no, i literally just did a run with it today, that's how I know hahah

thorny mirage
#

Dang

#

nice

strong ridge
#

i still don’t get how cold embrace made it into final game

#

it’s the stepchild of the duos

marsh rivet
#

I think that honor probably goes to Parting Shot lol

#

Cold Embrace's role was probably in development they quickly realized that Crystal Beam never actually hits anything by itself lol, so I guess they made a couple of duos to help with that

why does the most useless duo always get offered the most

high vessel
#

Hello, i'm recently new to the game, and I can't see to figure out how to unlock the last weapon. Could anyone help me?

brisk trail
#

or do you mean aspects?

high vessel
#

Not aspects, I just don't have the option to buy the weapon

#

I have all 5 other weapons, but I can't seem to even buy the 6th one.

brisk trail
#

the only way to unlock is is to get more chtonic keys, that's it really

high vessel
#

When I have all 6 weapons, I unlock aspects correct?

brisk trail
#

yep

#

i think

#

yeah

high vessel
#

Thanks, i've pretty much been doing runs, looked up on internet a bit and saw aspects and was confused at how I've never seen them xD

brisk trail
#

they change the game up so much

#

you'll have a blast i don't doubt

#

though you may want to hold off on certain aspects before you get more blood

#

some aspects suck really bad at level 1

high vessel
#

If you don't mind @brisk trail where do you upgrade the weapons?

strong ridge
#

in the aspect selection menu

high vessel
#

Which is where?

strong ridge
#

the weapon

high vessel
#

Google doesn't have that xd

#

The sheer number of dialogue Nyx has is astounding. I've run out on everybody else like 20 runs ago but she's still consistently giving new dialogue

last veldt
#

I bet you haven't run out of everybody else.

#

How many runs do you have?

#

I got unique dialogue from Hypnos for my 300th run just now. And there was a conversation with Thanatos about trust that just popped up for the first time after about 280 runs.

amber cloak
#

There's still probably dialouge here and there I've still yet to see but I'm 120 runs in and consistently there's no dialogue prompts in the house after a run now (aside from Nyx)

#

Not saying I've run dry but definitely hitting the bottom of the well

last veldt
#

It does die down for sure, but you'll get whole new conversations every now and then.

#

Makes them feel special.

#

If you finish buying things for the lounge there's a bunch of responses you get from people about it

amber cloak
#

I mean I'm just impressed that the dialouge has lasted this long, must've been dozens of hours of dialogue which I can't think of any other game of this level (AA) with this much high quality VA content

last veldt
#

I think it was 300k lines of dialogue.

#

Or something insane like that.

marsh rivet
#

That seems high? Last I remember Zag has 12k

#

Which is still a crazy amount

last veldt
#

Maybe that was words not lines

#

There's all the little things that get muttered as he's out on a run too. Lots and lots of those.

#

It's just incredible. Apparently it's partly due to the lockdown delays where they had to put a bunch of stuff on hold so just kept writing/recording new dialogue.

marsh rivet
#

Darren Korb is such a chad lol. Composed the music, sang for Orpheus, VA'd for Zag, and also I think he was the only person in SGG who beat 32 heat during EA.

last veldt
#

Ha, didn't know about the heat thing

marsh rivet
#

Like, where does he find the time?

amber cloak
#

I think I heard somewhere that someone on the team has a crazy time like sub 15 (cant remember the number) or lower I think

#

I heard it in the IGN react to speedrunning vid

marsh rivet
#

That will vary on impressiveness depending on IGT and RTA. 15 IGT is a great time when you're towards the beginning but it's something pretty easily achieveable without doing anything special by just practicing mechanics.

#

15 RTA is just an amazing time period though, and yeah that's awesome if that's the case

I asked during a reddit AMA who had the highest heat run, though.

#

Or was it in #ask-supergiant... Anyway, I also asked Darren Korb in another AMA (definitely on reddit) if he wanted to try getting into high heat, and he said maybe but he was all about the statues (and he already got them).

compact badger
#

A certain Nyaanyaa Mewmew said,

Darren told me in the AMA the other day that his highest heat was 32.
And Amir said before that Darren did the highest heat.

shadow quarry
#

what hidden aspect is the best for someone who just beat hades

twin thistle
#

beowulf/shield ig

#

rama is strong but a little bit harder to use

high island
#

Excalibur, Beowulf, Rama, and Guan Yu are the most popular, I would say.

shadow quarry
#

also, i've heard that beowulf is incredibly strong

calm zenith
#

Its stronger than hera bow damage wise but also a shield

#

Just slower on charge, but because it's safe it matters less

#

And there is the fast rush hammer

shadow quarry
#

should i wait until i get a non meme secret aspect or should i just get guan yu since i'll get all eventually

full nexus
#

Guan Yu is the prerequisite to all hidden aspects

twin thistle
#

though you dont actually have to spend the blood to unlock it

high island
#

Guan Yu is a lot of fun.

shadow quarry
#

aight ill get it

#

kuz getting another 6 blood is trivial

15 if you want to max it.

Winged... serpent?

shadow quarry
#

guan yu spinny thing flies longer

I'd pick that, quick spin would be better imo

full nexus
#

Winged serpent is probably the worst you could pick up

shadow quarry
#

there isnt quick spin

#

only flaring spin

full nexus
#

Does not matter

#

Flaring is better

shadow quarry
#

or separated point

full nexus
#

That says a lot about Winged Serpent

#

Serrated is risky but nice damage

shadow quarry
#

so what should i pick

#

sdeparated or serrated

#

flaring or dash strike

full nexus
#

Serrated is the best here

#

Probably will kill you tho

shadow quarry
#

okay, there was a choice of zeus and chaos

#

i took chaos kuz i have their keepsake

#

and i get lunge

#

+70% dash strike damage

has anyone seen Hades go above 30% discount on steam

how we supposed to know

we aint steam

It will probably be at least 30%

30% off is already a great deal

round turret
#

yeah

high island
#

–30% has been the best deal yet.

round turret
#

Hades is really great

#

It would buy it for 60 lol

high island
#

Only the two most recent discounts have been 30%, the others were 20%.

runic dew
#

I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this before, but is there any chance we could get a feature where you can bank money with Charon at the end before the final boss? I hate having money left over, and I think it would smooth progression for buying the expensive items over 1000 gold at the end, or maybe just give the option of a bump to be able to get at least one of the items in the store that you want.

round turret
#

I recently realized to do that

#

lol

high island
#

There are no more patches happening. If there are any big DLC plans or anything of the sort, there have been no announcements or indications thereof.

runic dew
#

What I mean is that when the expensive stuff doesn't spawn you can end up buying everything and have money left over.

high island
#

All indications have been that they're done developing any content for Hades or making any changes to the existing game.

round turret
#

doesn’t the expensive stuff always spawn?

high island
#

There's always a Diamond or a Titan Blood, yes.

twin thistle

theres a bit of variability with the total amount but like a diamond is only 200 less gold

#

oh right, if you play with lvl 1 Guan Yu

#

guess the spin would be useless 😦

twin thistle
#

well the healing and damage is the same either way aint it

whole comet
#

i suppose depends on the heat set up

twin thistle
#

though i wouldnt really be relying on guan yu healing to begin with

whole comet

like if you have HL5 and lvl 1, you practically would die in 1 hit all the time, right?

twin thistle
#

yep dusa

#

but if i have a spin hammer ill still use it

whole comet
#

still, at least i think i would always take the faster spin upgrade just for safety

twin thistle
#

the spin is gud dmg and crowd control tbh

#

imagine guan yu without the huge health penalty bouldy

#

meanwhile sg thinks that 10% extra damage taken on beo is enough to even matter

kinda just like the life-steal upgrade with sword

they prolly worry it would be broken

at low heats yeah

but like so much stuff already makes low heats cheesy

i might as well ask

think Dire misfortune works well with the spin?

well, hangover or frost seems to stack fast

#

never get to use on DM yet though

#

on boss anyway

the base damage is pretty good so just seems like a waste

#

i just dont really use the spin on bosses other than during immune phase

If you have Curse of Agony, just do Merciful End.

whole comet
#

i mean, did u max out those u used?

umbral badger
#

Not yet

#

Oh yeah j forgot you could do that

whole comet
#

if u completely finish off the bounties, u would get more ambrosia than u need to buy everythings in game, including all cosemitc

#

and sometimes fishes give ambrosia too

#

i believe roughly 30-40 extra ambrosia

#

if u dun plan to unlock everything, i guess u could go for it

#

50-heat world record as of September 22, 2021, beating the previous time by nearly two and a half minutes.

This took several weeks of grinding to achieve. Really demonstrates the power of Rama to do so much with so little and how little the aspect is affected by heat (there are only 41s between this run and the anyheat rama WR) if you're willin...

I don’t understand how they can get those 7-8 minute runs. Fastest I’ve ever done is 10 minutes flat

That's really good though!

And it's a lot of practice and waiting for good room RNG and tons of late biome free rooms + 2 sack

If you can get 10 you can probably get between 8-9 with the same skill set and very good RNG

does chaos count for that

high island
#

Master Chaos's boons are unpurgeable, so they're fine for the run clear message. They're also fine on the boonless leaderboard if you don't benefit from the boon in your run. (Although, it's typically better not to risk it since you can't purge those boons.)

i dont think anyone have that stats

#

but if you want to talk fastest time that can be done consistently, 32 heat can be done at sub 20 consistently
