which is better for spear
^
Ye
so do i go
crush shot
dying lament
life afirmation
ANY OF THEM
r-really
lmao this is great

Yes really they are all fine options
why dont you see what it is then
because maybe its poop

It could be! But you gotta play the game to see
life affirmation would be the best option for you actually, knowing you can't keep yourself alive for too long
probably to the bouldy part
bruh
totally didnt pick cast
You have a higher chance of getting gods you already have.
AFAIK.
So you can just roll for it again later.
ok so i have aphrodite and poseidon i can get athena should i?
for that gamer build you said
he most likely cannot
rolls are one of the last mirror perks
i'm sure he didn't get there yet
by roll again doesnt mean use a fated persuasion
SHOULD I BUY ATHENE BOON OR NOT
just have rng 'roll' him a life affirmation
Well, depends on what you want. Flat damage on the spear is good, but if you want to nope away projectiles, athena is fine.
dunno 
Maybe.
i want to kill the final boss
What chamber is this

It's 12 isnt it
OH MY GOD DUDE JUST CHOOSE YOURSELF
oh, sorry
maybe just midshop
Oh
I don't mind. It is RNG every time you pick up a boon and that's what I meant, but re-rolling is indeed a late mirror thing.
ok ill put it this way
Hello, everyone! I did not until now know that Supergiant had a Discord server. Happy to be here.
Ye
is it more likely for me to win if i buy athena boon or not
hello
yeah, welcome aboard
Such decisions wont be the reason you win or lose at this point
Nobody knows
:(
Well I mean
ahahah
what the hell man
Every boon makes you more likely to win
Hello there.
are you joking
how far even have you gone so far
But some boons make you more likely to win than others.
This ^^
so explore, don't ask stupid questions, please
You could pick up boons that dilute your pomming pool or duo pool making it less likely to get what you're actually aiming for and instead getting side stuff that doesnt matter too much
For that you really have to stop asking about and actually explore yourself man I'm gonna keep saying that.
@fiery zealot I think you'll just need to do some runs and test things. What you are comfortable with, what you like and what works out for you.
ive done runs but i always feel like im missing out i just like the sword and spear and pick what i think is best
i asked for a build
Thanks for the welcome. I'm actually doing a lot of research on the reception of Classics (Ancient Greece and Rome) in modern entertainment right now, with Hades as my primary focus.
And ppl gave you one
Awesome stuff!
oh you would want Hades story discussion for that I think
they said ZAP
f this off to youtube it is
Zeus Attack, Ares Special, Poseidon Dash, add whatever you like the look of to it.
ok
@fiery zealot The best build to play is the one you have the most fun with.
Just play around with stuff until you find builds you like.
In the first few runs, it’s best to just yolo it and let the cards fall where they may, but yes, getting athena boons is almost always a good choice. Divine dash will literally double your survivability early on
+1 to this ^^
Starting every run divine dash is not a bad early game approach at all
Ah yes, divine dash, my favourite crutch
Hell, I've got like 150 hours in Hades now and I still take Divine Dash a lot.
For melee builds, anyway.
Yeah legit. Ik people here talk a lot about best and worst builds and weapons and boons but the object of a game is to have fun and if you're focused on completionism then It's not gonna be fun
The Hades player arc
i'm glad i don't anymore, with 250 hours
well unless it's merciful end
and i'm not playing high heat, so
ME my beloved 
no reason for any more survivability than i already have
Been experimenting with hunters and pash dash a lot lately
also you don't need need divine dash with zeus shield merciful end
Yknow what's something I'm super disappointed by in this game tho?
Not enough Hypnos
i don't share your affection unfortunately
Try dying more. He has unique dialogue for every possible death
Including death by hazard bomb
Divine dash is good
LMAO I shall attempt
I've been half tempoted for a while now to just make a list of every enemy and have each one of them kill me so I can see more Hypnos dialogue.
*Tempted
second best dash in the game
And the enemy hunting can be fun sometimes
Yes.
I die to like the same couple things a lot cause I have bad habits, so ig I ran dry on him for a while
Also gave him every single Nectar I found in the early game cause I thought he was the coolest
i killed myself in magma once right after battling giant gorgon head in asphodel, and he still said that gorgon killed me
Also very sad he is not a romance option. I heard they added Dusa as a romance option but idk. Still tho I wish the blue boy was an option as well lol
obviously they hypnotized you into standing on that lava
yeah i decided to do suicide cause i barely killed that skullcrusher, was disappointed in myself and the rng
and skullcrushers are pain in general with fo2
with slow weapons especially
The only times I really consider doing that is when I waste all my death defiances on Charon
beo slow 
well it is sometimes
Dash and slide
It is!
It may be clunky but it is anything but slow
it's not fast until you get mirage shot
nope
Idk why I fight him I really suck at his boss fight but every time I see it I'm just like "ooooo shiny moneez"
and with trippy flare it's even slower
why fight him?
Is charon even worth the fight?
charon is just a win more thing
Absolutely no clue. My brain just forces me to
Money, and further discounts
if you can beat him without losing too many death defiances youll probably already have no problem winning the run
Yeah
A test of strength I guess...
He is harder than the final boss kinda
it's not worth it unless you farming high tier resources
See that's my problem. I am really bad with his boss fight so I always lose my defiances
there's usually enough money
So ig I just shouldn't lol
Ok
Well his pattern is easy to read
True, but it can help out if youre running low on cash and don't have cthonic coin purse
It just adds more stuff to dodge
But u barely have chance to learn the fight
Dad is too. But his adds are messy
So it could feel hard
So messy early
I just noticed ur nickname
At least hades u can keep trying each run
most annoying part is how much stuff is on the screen at later charon phases
the problem is i think is you get to fight him before your build is ready
Charon also has a bunch of hp
charon in tart is a pain. but in elysium you can melt him a lot easier though youll get less use of the discount
Yeaah
Athena dash doesn't really help for that melee attack
At least you get it and the gold for styx
Just learn the timing or get away very quickly when you see it coming
nice
OH hey here's a question. If they added dlc or something for a new story or campaign, who would you want as another playable character?
Cerberus 
Gardening minigame as mom
So what kinda aspects we putting on the feather duster 👁️
Some bloons like upgrades
I enjoy this idea. Animal crossing with greek characters
Upgrade 1 is a feather duster where every feather is a smaller feather duster
2 has spikes and a skull
3 is divine
Imagine like growing poms of power to give to people lol
In all honesty I think they would probably use Meg
You could design some cool mechanics around the one-hit kill for Than but ehhhhh
YO imagine the final boss is Zag
Rng, every boss fight he has a different weapon
that would be the hardest boss ever
you can't learn his patterns
that's actually something that was pointed out by Minos
Well ig you could if you fought him... five or so times lol
he said that he's so hard to beat because every time he uses a different weapon
Minos?
the bull
that's right, why'd i call him minos
OH it would also be really samey to play as Theseus but I can see him being a playable character
Like a different skin for Zag
Dual wielding is his mechanic, you get two weapons but your dps is halved at base
Or u could ride the chariot
That's his cast lol. Instead of throwing a bloodstone he sends a chariot after you
Hades mobile game as Thanatos
It's an idle rpg and you just one shot and collect souls
Honestly I would love any other kind of game in this universe I really like it lol
You use souls to make more complex attack patterns
What would the title be I wonder? 
Nyx
@twin thistle ngl I have no idea what mep is

Your post in #h1-victory-boasting
idk
mep
i bet it means mep
I just use the official modpack
moi? ze speedrun modpack, basically makes the first boon and hammer guaranteed and guarantees two sacks
pretty much just improves run consistency
guaranteed sub10
Pretty much
even on 50 heat

where do you get it?
or the speedrun discord. pinned in #self-promotion
yea either of those
speedrun.com has ver 1.1.0 but 1.1.1 is in the discord which has a couple extra features
well, it does suck sometimes to waste all your rerolls on first boon pickup just to get something like lightning strike or tidal dash
mainly for really high heat
AP2 zone basically
Is it Special only Beowulf
🤮
The disrespect
I’d prefer level 1 flood flare
Flood stinky in high heat
Passion flare priv stat is the way
Just get demeter attack or snow burst
Even dio can work
I kinda like 1 Cast Dio ngl
Dio cast with beo?
Yes
I try it out, it feels a bit slower since u gotta wait for the cloud to disappear
Not sure if it’s really on par with passion flare
it deals a lot more damage than passion flare, believe you me
over 1000 damage with just one cast, i kid you not
yeah it has double pom scaling, problem is mainly how much you need to get it to outperform passion
or floodflare more importantly
mirage shot + epic rush delivery
easy 1000 thousand damage with one cast
but yeah, the toughest part is one cast
not always can you get you that +1 from chaos
yeah with mirage shot and rush delivery and a couple poms you can do similar damage with flood flare except you have three casts you can keep picking up and spamming
that's why flood flare is considered to be the best i guess, but trippy has more damage potential still
sometimes you are lucky enough to get +2 casts from chaos
it's inconsistent, but does well for fun factor
yeah but with two extra chaos casts, rush delivery, and mirage shot youve already won either way. trippy can be fun though i agree
i've done my best times on beo with trippy actually
doesn't matter really since the difference is about 2-3 minutes, but still
and anyway it's not even sub 15
I think mine is on Flood
now i've noticed some more bugs with beo, i remember someone was saying that you shall never sell your attack otherwise it bugs and your aoe is smaller
it happened with me, but i sold boon on special
not only did aoe got decreased, but damage as well
it was some frustrating experience
yeah beo is messed up 
so don't sell not only your attack, but any of boons on core slots
similar happened when i sold a call
truly the most broken aspect 
i'm not
mhm nvm then
kbm supremacy
in bad ways too unfortunately
i mean what if i NEED to sell that useless boon on special
i need money
i'm poor
don't get me wrong though, bugs get fixed, it's not about them
I doubt any of those bugs will get fixed, they’ve been known for a long time
beo mirage is a feature
There are about 5 beo bugs that are known about and haven’t been patched in months
They aren’t going anywhere
i like that slicing flare exists and doesnt work with anything 
i have no clue why but i don't think i've been offered greatest reflex in, like, 10 runs
even with rerolls, it's crazy
maybe it's a sign i should start taking +1 dash instead of the alt mirror talent
ahahah
yeah
if you're using ruthless reflex, i can tell you plain and simple without any signs that it's not worth it
if u ask me
i think it's just very hard to go back and play single dash lol
once u get spoiled by double dash for too long...
Oh? What are these bugs? Besides mirage shot?
Trippy flare poms, slicing flare vicious cycle, selling attack boon affecting flare size, wide block angle
alright
I don’t think the wide block angle is a bug, but it is interesting
on one side rare crop picked my aphro flare, on the other side i got the AoE bug
this is pain
oh fixed itself after heroes fight
In the room where you have the choice between 2 boons, and then you have to ''fight'' the other god you didn't select, besides fighting a different god, does it matter which you pick?
as in will the first/second one I pick have better chance of higher rarities etc
nothing else outside of who aids the fight
thanks
Like you can use anything with Achilles or Poseidon
Achilles leaves open other avenues of damage even if you are going for a weird cast duo or just dont have a cast yet
why is my cast stuck to base AoE again aaaaaaaaa
why cant cod work with beowulf huh
pretty sure you can get it? unless you mean to work like the other casts
cod beo 
Call of Duty Beowulf?
curse of drowning smh 
Smoldering Heir?
I believe it used to matter and the God you picked first gave better boons, but it's not important now.
This is anecdotal but when I don’t pick Artemis and her dialogue indicates she’s still kinda tilted you didn’t pick her, she tends to not show up again
em2 moment
wait theres a rank above epic for basic boons bc i just found a red one
Yeah heroic boons appear only as replacements for other boons
You can also get them by upgrading an epic boon's rarity
yeah from eurydice or rare crop
oh i got it for deadly strike replacing lovely strike
replacement boons are one rarity above the boon it replaces
actually wonder if heroic boons are offered to be replaced 
once it hits heroic it cant be replaced
hey, i wanna ask something about Charon Shop
can Charon shop appear a god boon that you never pick up b4?
that's a serious crime...
Apparently theres another combat ability similar to chthonic companions what is it? And how do i get it?
i don't either the animation just take so long
none that im aware of, maybe calls are what you're thinking of?
What companions do y'all use? I just always use the Thanatos one and use it at the beginning of the minotaur and co. boss fight
Yeah... that's just you remembering the times she doesn't show up again more prominently than the times she does.
Entirely possible. I expect this is just my RNG experience and my primate brain finding patterns where there are none 
yes. most prominently Hermes but other gods too.
In fact your first encounter with Demeter can be through a shop if you get too many wins in the first few runs
then, would Zag use the "first time" quote instead of the Charon one?
iirc no, it's saved for the first time he picks her boon through a room reward
some people theorize that
well for fresh file run anyway
that if they only pick Ares boon in Tartarus and skip all Dio and Art
they would have a 100% chance of getting Athena and Ares boon from Charon shops
which increases their ME chance
of course, assuming they have Ares atk
That's true for first run.
man, most of my runs have aphro in it. Time to do one without her.
FO2 makes dad quite a bit harder
It is
FO2 + EM dad
Anyone else feel like the Cairon fight is almost inspired by the Manus fight in DS1?
In the DLC
Heavy hitting black fire balls that surround you
Massive melee hits and cleaves
Why do you think that? Its great
Nah that's my thought
I think it just kinda relies on knowing enemy attack speeds and stuff if you want to spin
Otherwise you lose more hp than you gain
But just charged skewer special is ridiculously good and effective and safe
Idk the reduction of the range on the sweep isn't something I like very much. Also projectile is ehhhhhh not so good and the slower attack speed I don't mind but it doesn't feel as chunky and cool as Arthur
You want to use the dash strike
Serrated point gets really good
But that's a difficult build
Try just the special
I'll give it a run or two over to see if I can do okay with it
Aphro special Artemis attack. Just use special and hope to get heart rend. Get pressure points and mark
Just shoot it at marked targets and even before heart rend you'll crit for like 2000
Like 3200 vs bosses that you can hit with weak before they just die
People have used it for no hit runs
So in a way its safer than even bow
its good with charged skewer
Yeah
but when you dont get charged skewer the special does like half the damage 
can also just run merciful end or smouldering air on it like every other weapon lol
Yeah
I've done silly stuff like full doom attack
So Impending and dire
Athena special
dire misfortune 
And dash
Hand feel is also a big thing for me if you couldn't tell lol and tbh I like the hand feel of guan yu, maybe I just had some bad luck with my runs with it and never gave it another chance
yeah it feels nice to play imo
Any build that centres around spin attacks, no likey
It's almost like the zeus aspect of spears
Vulnerable against dad
You can just use special
And 3rd boss too
thats hades not guan yu
And quick spin makes it easier
you dont use the spin attack against bosses
only on spawning enemies or bunched up groups with guan yu
using it on bosses is just a waste of time even if you get it off
Also, I did talk abt this before but does rail feel kinda gross to use? I'm on switch and maybe the controller is hampering it
well other than lernie
Depends on its damage output
Like it's as wasteful as using Zeus special
Except it's a bit stronger but leaves you vulnerable
like just dash strike dash strike special instead of spin attacking against dad and champs
Fair
half the spin will just be wasted tbh
rail is kinda easiest to play on controller
like
it aims for you
i cant use malphon or else i'll have carpal tunnel
YES THAT'S IT. The auto aim is sooo sticky and weird
eh whats the problem with the auto aim though
like youre still hitting the entire room because of zeus attack
Yeah it works fine once you get used time it
It just probably has a higher initial learning curve
and you want to shoot whatever enemy is closest to begin with
you can hold x to attack btw
For me personally it feels like the game flow and fluidity of the movement just kinda halts and you stand there for a bit to shoot
The special is the one that's fiddly on controller
you can dash though
You can dash strike attack
You can hold attack and dash around
Like the last aspect
There's people who DON'T hold attack on Malphon?
With infinite ammo you can literally hold it for the entire run basically
And just tap dash
Hestia has a tighter movement loop iff that's better for you
that guy apparently 
Those poor poor souls
Yeah Hestia is just reload pop reload pop
Well damn. Just beat the game and have yet to figure out you can dash mid-shoot
Dash whenever its relevant
I literally didnt know either
Because switch controls
I have like 350 hours
might be easier if you put dash on a bumper
Tru
Yeah. That's why I put it on r
i have dash on a trigger because my bumper died 
Thumb manages offensive buttons index finger manages dash or reload
rip left xbox bumper 🙏
I actually put call on joystick
I like dash on B for most weapons but if I must change for the gun then i shall change
It feels better trust me
It's better for dash special and dash cast too
It'll just take a bit to adjust to
ALSO have not yet unlocked final aspect for rail but i think it would be funny if it was just a modern assault rifle
Dont dash and attack with the same finger
lol same. i have call on left stick because i had to move it from trigger when my bumper broke
It's still better than default. Which is reload
Because reloading has to be tighter than calling even with smouldering
And that isnt a tight trigger
OH BTW what is rail's final aspect? I have all the others and idc about spoilers for this
laser beam
...who had that?
Laser and it shoots fireball mines on special
but tbh eris and hestia was just way better
Satan
lucifer
It's fun honestly
If you want it easy
Get Zeus special
The lightning turns them into proximity mines
To be clear, they are like radiating mines default
You gotta trigger them
but like you kinda want zeus on attack first
kinda the best option though
It will never be satan in my head for a multitude of reasons, the main one being that satan never used a laser gun. I shall headcanon it as Han
Fair
Like I said, you can literally not stop shooting it for entire chambers
With the right hammer
the special isnt even any good without triple bomb tbh
It's actually not an amazing hammer
But it let's you do some stuff that might be good
Like sea storm
eternal chamber kinda sucks outside of the meme yeah
"I SEE YOU WAGE A WAR IN THE STARS"
-Waking phrase
Lucifer's Special is decent even without Triple Bomb.
Eternal Chamber is pretty good.
The aspect is just really good, all the hammers are good.
the lack of ramp up tho 
It gets better with like, support fire tbh
ig
Sea storm will actually do some funny stuff with aim assist
like without triple bomb youre just getting so much more damage from your attack
Like constantly toggle through nearly targets
I've only seen that happen with poseidon and eternal
well if youre pushing one away then dashing makes sense
Yeah you can push groups into walls
Is it just me or are Zeus and Demeter boons lame
The only Demeter boon I like is the cast crystal
And the only Zeus boon I kinda like is the dash
zeus is probably one of the best gods
he synergizes with fast attacking weapons like the rail and fists
and getting static discharge or his legendary increase your dps by a lot
theres a small chance
ah
Like being able to use cerberus in battle?
Weird... I saw a youtuber called haelian he used a kind of call but it was cerberus during his no boon run
I see. So it was em redacted. legit thought it was zag that summoned cerberus
you have no idea how gutted I was when I found out I can't summon cerberus
I think i do probably even worse
🦵
What’s up everybody I’m brand new to Hades I’m about 35 runs in, and i straight up forgot that you could trade jewels at the broker for things that are actually useful. I just spent over 200 jewels on remodeling the lounge area before I finally remembered lmaooo
happens to the best of us
I may not be leveled up but at least my house looks pretty
well you get some lines for remodelling the house so it's cool
I FINALLY DEFEATED HADES
I accidently got like a million lightning bolts when I dashed so I never hit him and only dashed
congrats 
Gilgamesh strats 
quick question
if you purge a requirment boon for a duo boon after getting the duo boon
does the duo boon deactivate
i dont think so
Doesn't deactivate
It does not deactivate
catch me replacing divine flourish with curse the moment i get merciful end
Is the favor of poseidon RNG? Ive already caught 209 fishes and i still cant unlock his locked heart even though i unlocked it really fast on my first save file
You have to have a fish on you when talking to him if I'm not mistaken
There is still rng probably, due to the big dialogue pool, but it shouldnt take too long
welp, as the god of the sea, a large dialogue pool is expected
deepening a relationship with a character = giving more nectar?
Its taking long because i always finish my runs, maybe im just unlucky
Ew 
Eris disrespect 🚨

Pls don't insult me and my 70% global damage increase 
Eris gang rise up
You can have your 70% global damage, I'll stick with my dakka dakka boomstick
75 
I've gotten to the final boss 6 times, got him about halfway down the second health bar, but have yet to beat him.
I'll be doing run 52 this afternoon
I believe in you 
Good luck gamer
Keep at it! There is no escape
It took me about 60 attempts to beat him so keep your chin up
Damn for real?
this game has me hooked
I got him on my 18th
I took more than 60 lol
I'm pushing 40, so my reflexes aren't what they used to be 😄
After that first win you will most likely beat him every time you reach him
Never tried Eris tho
+1 to this
Legit havent spent a single titan blood on it
Definitely pick up some blood and try it
It may be the most busted aspect
Maybe
A lot of the speedruns rn are eris
Should i max it?
Nah, it's functional even at lvl 1, but I recommend going to at least 3
8 min RTA 
Even at level one it’s better than zag
And ya'll lost me
I think Eris has the most documentation on it for guides because of how busted it is in general
all good
Do you have all 3 death defiance?
Oh that’s a big thing.
I used to rely on stubborn and using lucky tooth in Styx until I realized that wow... 3 death defiances in one fight is pretty useful
LOL, I've been relying on stuborn
If you notice you stop needing it for normal chambers then I’d switch to death
Using stubborn also lets you get into the mindset that you can always play risky which will hurt your skill in the long run
I'll try it out
if you want to keep using stubborn have an useful thing, if you lost your SD then pick up one of the death defiance refills from athena (deathless/last stand) you will gain a death defiance then next chamber your stubborn regenerates
good to know. TY
Let me introduce you to bosses 
lmao
Guan yu just kinda dies in 3 hits on high heat
Its pretty funny
You have to take acorn basically
Very ironic that in the ultra long run (40+ heat), you'd better learn to play with Stubborn or suffer.
I don't think that hypothesis would hold up, anyway. 
Sometimes less 
Guys, do i need to befriend all olympians for the epilogue? Or just some of them
6 of them (demeter counts when you reach the heart lock)
Thanks

Yknow I thought the eye thing on Zagreus was a shading effect for the longest time. But nah his eye is just like that
HC lv1 aspect HL5 doesnt count
its that time of day again
Daily reminder that Artemis is best girl and cutest Goddess
Aphrodite is the main character of this story 
It’s obviously the new secret spear aspect of Shaq
YESSSSS
Precious salad hobo girl
Watch courtenberry's clip titled ""Hello hello, little godlings. I am the main character.""

True!!
I love trying to roll for Athenas dd boons on lc4 stubborn and getting useless parting shot instead 
but then when I play phalanx hera partingshot won't show up until styx
well atleast green boon= 450gold for UC
hello
ye
And that was the end of that

when will we know the question 
Is there a rank above gamma warden
nvm there is
heck 1 titan blood and 3000 darkness time to grind the darkness again 🙂
OH btw is there any point to resetting the mirror? Like what benefits does that give me?
If your mirror is already maxed there are no benefits
you do it for enabling nyx to go see chaos if u dont want to grind the darkness
yes it resets it
wait you still havent asked a question....
Well then, I wanna ask about dio and ares boon
How’s dio stacking work if u have atk special and call all can hangover?
Same for ares if u have dire misfortune
dire doesnt override
dire misfortune just lets you stack until doom procs
it just adds to the damage of the current doom effect
Both are ares?
You'd get 1 level 5 doom, and 4 stacks of dire misfortune
The level of dire misfortune matters and the level of the special doesn't, in this example
Hmmm ic
And by level of dire misfortune I mean rarity
There’s no stack limit, right?
Probably not on dire misfortune
nope
Ok
Lol lvl 100
this is obviously unmodded
I forgot what’s the highest lvl u could get for a boon to in a run
Realistically speaking
hmm think ive seen up to like the 50s? unmodded/seeded
over 20 isnt that hard if youre specifically doing a run to get a boon as high as possible
Not a bad idea for Chiron with Zeus special lol
tbh youd want to spread the lvls between the special, jolted, and double strike
I apologize for the video having some stuttering, we were having some technical difficulties that day and the recording came out as such.

a cast makes a lot of sense since they have the best pom scaling
Sounds fun
I dunno, hangover lvl 50 on its own?
lv50 Dio Special doing 59dmg per tick lol
HANGOVER IS SO COOL
Each hit will do dmg
Sorry just gotta give some props to my fave boon-giver lol
You can get a boon that let's it do more but ye it doesn't do it normally
Well the other boon cannot have lvl
Or mom keepsake might hit that
At least, if u try to go for lvl 50 boon
that actually sounds kinda stonks
Hey can I get past the first heart lock on Hades or nah?
yup
Oh how I do that
Takes a while iirc
keep escaping and it will open itself
Ohhh okay
I can repair my daddy issues
WAIT okay I hit a heart lock with Hypnos, is there a way to get past that?
keep talking with him and thanatos
idk if than needs nectar tho
(also all favors are on the wiki)
Oh oki
Wait so I got Than in my big ole polycule already and I got to the point where Hypnos is like "Hey you're my bestie" did I just hit the end there?
well should be where the heart unlocks so if it did yeah
I gotta look at my console again lol
All heart locks require more conversation to unlock. Some of them require that you do stuff other than talk to them
Aha, so just like everything with Hypnos it relates to dying. And HE'S not even the god of death
i have zeus
smouldering air is probably one of the strongest boons in the game
"Probably"?
is* 
Looks at Ares call
That's better, you were about to be fed to my sacred crocodiles.
good idea imma do smouldering beyblade
Lord Ares doesn't have a Call.
He has a panic button
whats best hamer for rail
triple bomb
explsive fire
or hazard bomb
eris rail then triple
i have the normal rail
*specially if eris 
hazard then
but it can hurt me
also best hammer combo for eris is spread fire hazard dont @ me
That's the good part
😳
it does like 5 damage
oh ok lol
its slow to land so it should be easy staying out of the radius
also is aphrodite dash good
yeah its pretty good damage and good as a weak applicator for melee weapon
tidal dash or athena's are usually better tho
ares dash actually is probably better damage and stunlock too 
Does it really
never got the chance to get them
or zeus dash with a bunch of tier twos 
I've never been afflicted with weak before. I don't even remember Theseus using it. I might have ig
Actually yeah I do remember theseus using aphrodite. so ig he must have inflicted weak
Unless you have artemis and crits you for 15 
What if I have Poseidon and it slams me onto some wall
is crystal beam good
not on its own, but pretty powerful if you get Glacial Glare and Crystal Clarity and + casts on Stygian Soul
uhuh
best with achilles spear
nice
been watching Chinese high heat vods and the word for having a build really come together is the one for winning in mahjong
which coming to think is pretty fitting imo
Does anyone else feel like they go a million years without running into Than? Is he avoiding me?? 
Kill less monsters, he will have less work hehe 😎
holy crap
I just got this game and it's so good, everything I loved from Dead Cells, Enter the Gungeon, and a few other games in one tremendous bundle
i have too many hours in this game 
My friends constantly try to stop me from playing this game 
just don’t have friends ez
is so good
I would never betray Lady Artemis
Yes but the emote
Finished getting every Hades achievement. First time I've ever done that in any Steam game.
She is! How did you know?


I only did that for boi afterbirth+
I haven't played repentence yet
I dont play Hades on pc anyway. No achievements for me.
Omg guys you gotta see this lmaoooo my reaction was priceless
This caught me way off guard. Obvious Spoiler Warning.
This was escape attempt #28. I made it to this fight the next run with the sword, but didn’t make it as far (unlucky boon rolls).
I will escape. I’m getting close.
Run #28
I’m slowly getting better
But that fight took me off guard
Ikr lmao he was only kneeling but for some reason I had expected it wasn’t possible to actually slay Hades and he would submit to defeat or something
Those green things though…
I was so dumb running straight into them over and over
It was my first time encountering anything like it
yeah they can be hard to dodge
Ty 🙂
I shoulda just used my special then dash strike to retrieve it and rinse / repeat
I might have had a cast too
Whoops
Dionysus call is OP*
What’s the easiest way to farm Titan’s Blood after beating the first boss with every weapon?
beat the last boss with every weapon
Save 15 keys on you and look out for the broker's deal
or save up money to shop at Styx
the most consistent way gets unlocked after you get a full clear
by the way you can press the attack button to retrieve the spear without dashing to it and when dad does his 360 lasers you wont take damage if youre close enough to him
That last part is what I thought
Thats why I said “what? I thought you’re supposed to hug him???”
Because I remembered hearing “hug your daddy” as a rule of thumb for the 360 lasers
But I still took dmg
I guess I wasn’t close enough to the middle??
you were initially in the right spot then you dashed away into the pillar and ended up too far
Is Divine Flourish any good for spear?
Rip, I was slick panicking so my position was awful the whole fight
achilles doesnt care about the special much
I have the option between divine flourish and holy shield rn
better than holy
I use my special all the time like it’s a third dash without iframes
It’s generally my gap closer
mightve been using it too much
I just wasn’t sure if it would be better to try to get a different special boon
The other option is sure footing, and like, if I’m not trash, I’ll take 0 damage from traps anyway
I think of the options flourish is best
generally you want to special into raging rush to get the buff then use your attack/cast till it runs out before using it against
I already have athena’s dash so this run is shaping up to have potential
with divine flourish you can get doom attack and do merciful end
also dad's pots count as traps btw
Oh you’re genius
But wait
I already have crit attacks
So it’s unlikely Ares will give me an attack boon, no?
Until I fill out my other boons
yeah. artemis attack is good on achilles though
I’ve noticed I tend to get boons for slots I haven’t filled first
Yeah
I think I’ll shoot for that
I’ve wanted a merciful end run for a while, but mainly for sword.
Glad to know it’s viable on spear too tho since it’s prob my favorite weapon
Just got an arty+athena chamber
Let’s gooo
Which one should I take first? I’m lacking the cast and the lightning bolt thingy below dash
artemis i guess
guessing you dont have much titan blood in achilles so your cast wont matter as much
Honestly I think I’d rather have clean kill
but athena cast is better
No I only have it upgraded like maybe once or twice at most
artemis has stuff like hunter's mark and support fire which should be useful
Is it really? I hate her cast. Trying to deflect with it feels clunky and it’s kinda slow
its good aoe damage
It’s like my last resort if I don’t have a deflect yet
Although, the last time I used it I was pretty poor at the game and still wasn’t using casts efficiently
I’ll give it another shot sometime
I def prefer Demeter and Ares casts as my favorites atm
But I’d like to learn to use trippy shot since it seems like a cool mechanic, albeit maybe a bit gimmicky
trippy you usually want to pair with demeter
I don’t think I swore there
their duo boon makes it not lob and just instantly detonate where you aim it
I consider Dionysus to be the weakest call in the game except for Artemis
His isn't great either but I'd rather be immortal for 5+ seconds and kill things than a call that does similar damage while not doing that
guess zeus call must suck then 
Zeus does his damage quickly so that edges him ahead of the others like it for me
I put it as:
Aphrodite
Poseidon
Athena
Demeter
Ares
Zeus
Artemis
Idk I was absolutely melting Hades with that hangover. It was upgraded a good amount tho. Doing like 25 dmg per tick or something ridiculous
Ares call is okay
I’ve never gotten Ares call but it looks so cool
its really only decent if you have vicious cycle
It's not the best but It's okay
Ares call is also one of the only ones that can be boosted with his other boons
Anyway I got Athena cast so I’ll give it another shot
My favorite is actually Aphrodite cause it literally does nothing other than a butt ton of damage to bosses
Oh I forgot athena call
calls that are only any good at full gauge are just a waste tbh
Fair
unless your build has no dps then half the call ends up wasted to immunity phases
I mean, I never fill it up worth anything in normal fights to begin with
For me most of the time I kinda forget the gauge is there so I'm like "oh hey I have my ultimate"
Zeus’ aid, Heaven’s Vengeance, or Lightning Reflexes?
aid
Sorry I should be in beginner chat lmao
does Hell make the game harder in any other way than making the game start on Heat 5?
Oh boy, breaching skewer or serrated point? On the one hand, I’d love to be able to shred through armor, but on the other hand, I literally have pauper’s lunge….
And dash range doesn’t even matter anyway because my special is a longer dash
Serrated point it is
Okay, this damage is broken
And I haven’t even gotten my pauper’s lunge yet
There's a pact exclusive to hell mode which is personal liability, in which you minimalized recovery iframe when you get hit
By minimalized
I mean just gone
Reduced to ashes
Just like you when you get hit by that big ball from the witch
DEADY REVERSAL LET’S GOOOO
its just the shield you get from being hit a ton at once aint it
Is there anyway to get artemis to talk about callisto
