oh lol h ecan get mauled by a bear
want to try and get all of them
after all this time I only saw the bear message
There's a mod that keeps track of which ones you got if you want to do it. Ask in the Modding Discord.
I don't think that's what he's doing. I've always read that as him giving the "up yours" sign to the narrator for having him die in such an ignoble fashion.
i have xbox, i dont believe i can install mods on it
Ah, yes, it's always been funny to me how Zagreus is able to hear and interact with the narrator
Oh, and speaking of the end of games, after persephone comes back, do you ever get to go into Greece again?
No
Ah, well
Too bad
The place looked pretty good
I think it was a great way to end a game
With that sunrise and all
Also that screws up a lot of possible fishing points outside the underworld
nah theres fishing points where you fight hades
Yop, good fishes too. Sadly I never got a perfect catch, but the regulars are worth the effort
tips on crush shot hera?
id assume take artemis and posideon for mirage shot
would heart rend help
Heart rend only helps if yoy get PP
Poseidon and Artemis are ideal since mirage is so strong but it can be hard to make it work
Your best power scaling sources are wells of Charon (braids and Prometheus, why people take hourglass) and chaos (more bloodstones and %bonus damage). Also Pom it a lot
Had to write a case study type thing on a fictional character for my Psych class. Did a six page paper on Zagreus and got a perfect score. Pog
my god i am terrible with ow
bow
ARTEMIS BOND FORGED
this is my greatest achievement in the entire game
need to get greater recall and second wave hmm
And one of the cutest icons
fact
snow burst is probably the most important, then quick reload from hermes
LMAO I DEMETER WITH POSIDEON SPECIAL JUST SENDS THEM FLYING
is there a big difference between the hades versions?
Almost none.
ok
Google Docs
Hera Guide: By Croven and cgull This is meant as a quick overview into Crush Shot Hera and how to build it. Other builds can see success, nothing here is set in stone, and this is far from exhaustive. This represents general attitudes towards the build + its options. Always go with your gut on ...
#1 thing you're looking for is Snow Burst.
Also Quick Reload.
And more bloodstones or Cast damage.
And poms, of course.
Mirage Shot is kind of whatever. Great if you happen to luck into it, but you're not looking for it over Snow Burst.
It's not broken like it is on Beowulf where you get 100% damage.
Does anyone else wish the other God aspects worked like the Chaos shield does where they talk to you during your run?
huh?
?
Did you not know about that or something?
If you visit Chaos when you have his aspect equipped in the shield they mentions that they can see what's happening through it and then they start talking to you during your runs
It's really neat
they, and yes? but other gods do that too
wait what
no they don’t
they just mentioned the shield
Thanks for the correction, This is why I shouldn't have multiple conversations at the same time 😅
And I'm not sure what you're confused by here, I'm saying it would be cool if other aspects did that
Last I checked Chaos is the only one
but it doesn’t do that though as far as i’m concerned
i’m pretty sure chaos just mentions you have the shield
They literally do though
They talk to you during the run, I've seen it happen like constantly
huh
occasionally chaos will say something during the run
when you have their shield equipped
Yea
It's a cool detail, I wish other aspects did similar things like it because it'd be fun
If you're not playing with subtitles on it might be easier to miss I guess?
i’m sorry how much darkness do i need for nyx/chaos
honestly i thought it would be worse but like
cmon
pi
It was 8,888 Darkness in Early Access. 
When you get both little vermin and bad hallway RNG in a time run...
Only got 4 minutes to defeat Hades.
Em4?
extreme measures 4
Buff dad
Nah, just base.
yeah you should be fine if the dps is high enough
4 minutes is a lot of time even with no build and just Shackle.
But it can take practice I guess.
play on and you will see 
have fun
Wish you could leave Nectar behind for Lernie
I wanna befriend the funny bone creature
The one person rooting for me and I can't throw em a Nectar or two
i’m not a fan of asterius but i know other people would love to
asterius and lernie lowkey best bosses
lernie yes
i want lernie as a pet 
playmates with cerberus smth like that
i have to draw that
But I think it would be cool if (assuming we ever get DLC content or something) as a post game type thing we could have other gods show up at the exit to the Underworld
And also Hades boons would be sick as hell for post game stuff just saying
eh
i’d love like an opposite hades there
though=
where you try and escape olympus and get boons from cthonci gods
cthonic
is hades worth it on switch if i have it on pc ( playing on switch lite)
by the way i don’t use cross save as i haven’t played in a while so i would rather re learn everything
yes its really good cause now u can play hades on the go
ok good i just won’t want to waste my money
congrats
hello! just dropping in to point out that it took me 60 hours of in game time to realize shades are transparent-ish in the dialogue screens
Yeah, it’s tougher on tiny joycon buttons but im about to play on this airplane im on lol
Honestly, pro controllers are pretty nice
If you can get one of those it's pretty comfortable
And the buttons are actually an acceptable size
Can I use a pro controller on switch lite? I have the regular one and I know that works
Switch lite?
Oh idk
I don't really know the differences between one and the other
Yeah me neither
And no tv playing option
You can
It was an okay option when getting a regular switch was really hard and folks needed to cross animals to kill time in lockdown
question about hades speedrunning
has anyone tried using a TAS or something to try and figure out what a theoretical perfect speedrun time could be?
like what would a frame perfect run look like?
I personally don't know anything about that sort of thing, but how do you even make a TAS for a game that's different every time?
Somebody know how to unlock aphodite last heart?
There is 2 routed runs at least so is possible
(beo speedrun and max heat route with zeus)
Wait, what do you mean, routed
Can you know exactly what room will spawn where?
And boons?
And everything?
Yeah
Wow
How do you do that?
Oh wait
If you quit a run, the RNG stays the same, right?
Until you die or win that game?
Huh
The rng is a different story
So you just need to try and try until you get a good seed?
You can manipulate rng using certain things
So no you're not really dying until you find a good seed
A lot of things change rng lol
You just find a seed with couple of things to start with
Wait, I'm confused
Then carve your way to the end
When you say seed
What do you mean?
I thought a "seed" would dictate the luck for the whole run?
Huh
And if there's an early Chaos/Erebus
Anything beyond that can change depending on the rng offset when you finish the rooms afterwards
You need to forge a bond with at least 2 out of Dusa, Thanatos, and Megaera.
Hmmm ok, Thanks
TAS tools for Hades are not ready to speedrun such stuff for now
Some peoples said that needed to have a romance with the three
And the concept of a frame perfect run is also very complicated in this game
hers was locked for me until I did all 3
Dont say that
Lets go farm for more hours
you have to forge a bond with all of them. hers opened after I finished dusas
I have a question
When you buy boss themes to play at the court music stand, which boss theme do you get?
For each boss other than Hades, I found there was more than one theme, which seemed to be remixed versions of themes you could hear while in encounters in the region
there is more than one song that can play for bosses for each region, they all have their own names
i think
Huh
I thought I only saw one
I should check again
Oh, unrelated, but the shortcut into the Lounge is probably one of the worst house renovations I've bought so far
I thought we'd get a door
But no
Just a hole in the wall

They serve the same purpose 
It would have been cool if, after buying the towel bench next to the Styx, you wiped yourself whenever you didn't dash into the house.
I just got heat 5 when I was barely able to do heat 1 what
aspect of arthur is carrying hard ngl
I honestly have no idea how to do the full combo with that thing without getting slapped by some random attack in between
It's just too slow for my liking
Although the Hallowed Ground thing is really cool
I just dash around and keep hitting
Disables traps, slows projectiles and enemies, gives dmg reduction
It does
And also aspho lava
Sadly doesn't work on poison puddles
That would've been kinda nuts
I hate those with a burning passion
Yeah, my best build with it was getting the hammer upgrade that gives dash-strike two hits and comboing dash-strike into hit 1
But not being able to use the final hit, with 200 freaking base damage, without involving a big risk has always been kind of a bummer for me
I like the 2 hit dash strike tbh
I still want to get like 30% attack speed from hermes
that would be so juicy
is aspect of rema any good
I just randomly got it
I hate power shot
it always makes my finger hurt
it's a good upgrade but my hands don't like it lol
?
Power shot is a natural property of the bow
OH
You don't need a hammer upgrade
I thought you meant the explosive shot
There's a hammer upgrade that makes it better
No, no
I mean the increased damage shot if you shoot the moment you reach full charge
Bro 175
I'm really not sure about explosive shot, precisely because it takes so long to charge safely power-shotting is hard
Yeah
yeah I got confused between explosive shot and power shot
Get Aphro attack for the really good stat buffs, then the power shot upgrade, try to stack as many stat buffs as you can and your attacks can easily deal 500+
Heck, if you use Artemis attack you can get crit shots for over 1000 damage
Amazing
And this was with an improvised build the first time I ever used the weapon
You can probably get even crazier if you optimize it
Then there's the fact that the hitbox of the move is so large
And you can also use the special to spread damage along the room, which is quite cool
It just does pretty well with basically every scenario
Btw what do I need to awaken the secret aspects
pinned in #h1-story-discussion
thanks
#h1-story-discussion message direct link also
I think I already have the titan blood and guan yu requirements
You generally need to return to the house after the requirements are done to get a new bit of progression
So, you can only get new things after you do at least one game and then come back
I think I'm close to getting the meg companion but she's never in the house
I think you have to defeat Meg for her to appear there
Oh
I only get Tisiphone
I got her so much that she learned how to say zagreus
@sullen karma Hi 👀
be careful to not get spoiled here btw lmao
So on my 3rd attempt at escaping....
my game crashed
it was a pretty cracked run too
btw @umbral bloom i decided after looking stuff up im just gonna not even worry about spoilers
ive done the story
the only thing im gonna avoid at this point is what the credits and story say as you go through
You haven't 👀👀👀👀
ive done the, almost all story
You do not wanna get spoiled on that trust
Not usually
I don't think anyone here would talk about it here tho
gotcha
#h1-for-new-players tries to avoid spoilers as much as possible
ill be back in a few days
yeah but i wanna talk about spoiled things new players would love to discover
ill be back soon!
im excited about talking about this game for sure, this has been a fun experience since i got it on Christmas
she's has beaten hades tho some ppl don't wanna get spoiled about stuff that happens after you beat him
Spoiler tagging things new players might not know about
I forgor spoiler tags existed 💀
where do i ask about the roles?
I've beaten hades a good few times and gotten through a decent chunk of the main story, and even now I still get spoiled from time to time
i wanna ask about what certain roles like Gamepad are
Like, every character evolves a bit as the game goes on
Oh, yeah
I saw it in the wiki don't blame me
i blame you a little
lmao sorry
Yeah
also I think you got the wrong hades role
There's a lot to uncover in this game
i wanna see what the monthly challenges are
i cant find where it might be
They're challenges I create. You can find them pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat, and I announce any new ones there and ping the role.

#announcements maybe
Ohhh
that sounds cool
super coolllll
whats gamepad?
amongst other roles
playing on controller?
That just means you're playing on a gamepad, yeah.
Gamepad just means controller
you can play with gamepad on pc
kbm?
Keyboard and mouse
Finally came back to Hades and I have fallen in love with it all over again lol. This game is great!
It really is
I have been trying to get other friends to play it, and a coworker of mine loves it too lol
I like starting a new file every now and then
yay, more players to fall for Zag
yeahh, thats what I did, and its kinda fun to go about the story again and see how much better I got lol, I remember when I first started playing I was flailing didn't know what was happening XD
i wonder how possible it is to beat the game on the first escape attempt
It's pretty hard
its had to have been done, right?
someone who has amazing RNG maybe
It's been done many times
Like 50 heat
It’s a speedrunning category
Have you seen Dionysus? 
hype!
Mirrorless would be difficult, but not impossible
Ive done 57 heat mirrorless lol
I think the hardest part would probably be trying to fare without the double dash talent
my god????
Do 60 mirrorless
im gonna do max heat sometime
you guys love danger
And that is the distinction between players like you and players like me 
what is max heat?
like whats the highest it can go
63
64
64 with hell mode
@devout terrace how long has it taken
Sheeeesh
right. I'm always on god mode
taken for what
I'd played around 900 hours at that point
how many hours have you gotten now?
That's it? 
980 
same, i really like going for the story, then the battle next lol
Its only been like a few weeks ago
so 64 is the max heat
yes!
and not even the resident god has defeated such a foe
didnt grind 62 for that long, main grind was from 50-60
then just got 61 and 62 in the same week 
close to
I wonder how many escape attempts you have Angel
Baj made it to hades on 64 modded
damn
6k+ at this point
And he has a routed clear
Ive been playing for 11 months
cracked
6k?? goddess hera
Respectable 
unseeded 64 heat is very unlikely
most of those are tartarus resets 
oh, fair
because I was speedrunning up until like august
Speedrunner/high heater moment
is it legit never been done???
the moment I reach 32 for the skelly prize, It'll be my high moment in life
No
its been done with a route that uses RNG manipulations
replied to the wrong thing
im dead rn
man and if i somehow got it i dont even have the means to record on my switch to prove im not cheating lmfao
it's just me that hates guan yu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOJ_qJhcGEk heres the route if you wanna see it
"Wow great run!"
Thanks but it wasn't me running it. It was Baj, Zeus Shield pioneer. I made the route, he ran it. This is a reuploaded version of it since it's no longer on his channel.
"Why is the luck so good? Why do you keep summoning?"
This is a routed run, starting on a known seed and using RNG manipulation to steer the game towards opt...
I thought the limit for heat was 32 what
If you believe hard enough you will
it's a fine aspect, max out
is 64 modded
I really like it
No
No
do you get more hp when you level it up
The heals are nice
32 is the last skelly statue that’s it
so the coveted max heat without modded is nearly impossible
youp
But you can go higher
Harder to get chipped away to death by small attacks since you can heal
has never been done
maxed the hp is 50
this is crazy to me
that's a lot better than 30
i cant wait to see someone do it, if it ever happens
The pact is very unbalanced at higher levels
"To give you an idea of how much luck is required, let's just look at ONE element. The Styx sack. You can obtain the sack anywhere between the 2nd and 5th chamber. This is purely based on luck, requiring a slightly-favored coinflip for a 2-sack. That's already half the runs that is potentially killed because of luck
Combine 1. Actually getting a core boon that works with your weapon, 2. Not getting bad patterns that can and WILL kill you on the spot, 3. Getting enough free rooms so you don't die to the timer (Fountains, Event rooms ... Chaos doesn't even count because it's so unreliable) (edited)
And, most of all, 4. HAVING TO DO ALL THIS WITH LITTLE ROOM FOR ERROR You get at most 4-5 hits PER RUN" -Baj
Ri4
RI4
Gets rid of sd
You need your stubborn defiance
the ones that reached this heat are close to gods
cause like... its mindblowing
62 has only been done by 3 people
my max was 20. I freaked with elysium
ah, I can see the pantheon coming together now xD
love that one, super safe!
Try 6 tomorrow. Then 7 the day after.
I did the double damage and it was surprisingly chill
Agreed. 16 will be next week.
I didn't instantly die like I thought I would
In terms of speedrunning, is hades one of the better games for it?
Double damage
Boiling blood status
That one Hades spear spin
Yep, that's me. So you're probably wondering how I got here
think my max is 16, gonna try for 32 soon, and my fastest time is about 13 minutes
RNG fest
13 minutes what how
my usual speed is like 30 mins
guys, sorry for my noobing but... RNG?
Meanwhile me with 6:30 
RNG just means random elements
get help
luck required for top times is insane
please
ooooh k
yeah i got 13 yesterday, by accident actually
my fastest time up until then was 15
wait no 14
my goal!
the idea with hades is that you have to consistently play at a very high level while grinding and not crumble under pressure when you do get the good rng
still stuck on 19
Modded speedrunning is pretty fun
wish i could try modded tbh
I was sacked out of sub 7 9 times before getting it
If you’re not pushing
what's the fastest weapon
that depends
There’s a lot of good ones
but alas
can’t get mods on xbox i believe
depends
gilgamesh 
you can be very fast to clean up with arthur
what's a Gilgamesh again
or demeter
I am gonna give eris rail a try lol
an aspect for the fists
which one
the special one
Haven't unlocked it yet
tidal dash + lightning works quite well on rail
oh, you'll get it eventually
How is the weapon with the normal attack loop that takes like 5 whole seconds fast? 
ther's a few tutorials to get it
I think I need to talk to minos or just go back to the house
I've heard a lot of people talk about it, but I have yet to reach the dialog that would supposedly unlock it
Idk who to talk to
hidden bow is also p fast from my experience
the bull
Read #h1-story-discussion pons
I'm using it for the first time rn
That's Asterius tho
So you need to find him in his solo fight in Elysium
Too bad I've been getting Dire Soul Catchers 100% of the time the last few days
if I'm not mistaken, use the fists, talk to asterius until the special dialog

and he needs to comment on it
if you want a brain dead build put lightning on special and profit
Oh, I need to actually use malphon
Yeah, that's a small detail
I love malphon but I don't use it as much
I'm actually addicted to aspect of arthur recently
I've learn to love it
i don’t mind esp with long knuckle
The speed tho
also the projectile special is very fun
i did a ME build yesterday with demeter, it was great
melting enemies
Though Talos seems fun, have yet to play around with it much
demeter is good too
I always have difficulties against hades with malphon tho
specially with the projectile hammer
i love talos because i can play ping pong with enemies
it's litterally lots of attacks in one
hahahahahahaha yes!!!!!
i want to try gilgamesh even though i’ve heard it’s p bad
um... depends
that's the best boon for it
I usually do Poseidon
not sure how good it yes
worst aspect in the game yeah

its funny though
Lol
it sounds p fun though
lmao yes
it's tricky to activate the special attack
because people playing gilgamesh just say pawbs up and uwu
took me a few tries, but is fun
lol
Here's a question for you lads - if you had to choose one instrumental boss track as the best, which would it be?
what's a good bow attack boon
EM4
I play with sound off 
Heroes has gotta be my favorite
I'd say Hades but it's just menu theme but again, after all, so yeah
Although phase 2 is pretty cool
Em4
Unseen ones is fire
What's EM4?
It’s the superdaddy fight
Huh
lernies song slaps
superdaddy?
Elon musk 4
dad gets buff
So he gets a different song when under Extreme Measures?
There's 4 of them

Oh wow
no way they did it
It so is Aoeui.
But really, River of Flame is really raw for me. I legit feel like I'm fighting for my life when I hear it build to phase two.
Whereas Unseen Ones is great and very satisfying, but it's not so cutthroat for me.
Granted, King and the Bull is pretty brutal also.
unseen one slaps those guitars 
Having Theseus lame you out for 5 whole minutes to a song this epic has never felt more wrong

hammer? gods, I don't play much with it. But piercing attacks are good
also charon fight theme
Hades without mods 
I can't even count how many times I've resetted with achilles
I've resetted so many times I just gave up 
Bouldy wouldn't give up, you know 

it doesn’t matter when i die in game as long as i don’t die in styx because hypnos mocking me about dying to a tiny rat hurts
Have you tried not dying to the tiny rats?
woah
i didn’t think about that
tiny vermin is actually more annoying then theseus
because other guy doesn’t poison you
also back on the soundtrack topic, i never realized how empty good riddance sounds without orpheus

remember when I just kinda did 3 attempts for 60 unmodded zag shield
Eh. My hatred is reserved for Exalted Greatswords and Greatshields
gods when you pick them:
gods when you choose someone else: time to die
fair
Blursed

literally
and thus I will never get a good unmodded run
ever again
not complaning
Yeah get charged shot on rama

Pretty good hammer
What I meant to say was, imagine not choosing the insanely jealous goddess who has a history of, ah, making living difficult
and more than one boon
"yo you didnt pick me? time to waste your death defiance"
I mean it kinda looks nice lol
Ah, classic Athena Dash
the 1/1000000 lol

i cant upload images?

I've had that happen while misjudging the dash placement while on 20 health, (and redacted on a sliver of his own)
Still not as infuriating as being laughed at when you fail Erebus challenges
Nice
Speaking of calculated risks https://youtu.be/HYWFo49d1vY
ADHD moment right there
Lol that thumbnail is perfect

b
3 heroic boons on asphodel
I got one from charon in tartarus and eurydice gave me the rest
which is the best weapon?
They are relatively balanced and everyone will give you a different answer, in my unprofessional opinion it is the shield
For aspect of guan yu is it 5 aspects unlocked randomly or just 5 titans blood spent no matter where
Still trying to wrap my head around it
5 aspects unlocked
I think neither but logistically it happens to most people after a victory because of ease of acquiring blood
depends
personally i’m fond of rail
achillies spear is quite fun too
Im still mad i started the game with sword got to hades most times and died
Played shield once and won
😤
i made it a goal to beat him with every weapon
it’s fun and also gets you used to all the weapons
I have shied and spear done
Still ned to do the others
Might leave sword till last
Have the dash attack combo down pretty easy but i still mess up some of my dashes and get hit by something
Either that or i dash myself into lava like an idiot
yup sword was last
Only my second day playing and i feel like ive improved vastly
Really?
I did have a close attempt with sword zues build
I died while he only had maybe 1000 hp left
If i had my third death difiance at that time
That would have been a win
Curse you darkness grind
sorry if this seems dumb but what is titan blood?
The blood you get from the furies
Is called titans blood
This can be used to unlock weapon aspects
And upgrade them
oh i am not that far into the game yet
Also either styx or hades
I cant remember
Probably hades since they are pretty much connected
Dont worry you’ll get there
thx
If you start struggling try using the shield and checking out youtube videos
goddamn does aphro special do damage
you find eurydice
eurydice doesnt hit aphro epic special
Ah, about that. Immediately after you choose one of her ambrosia options, make sure you don't move Zag and quit the game. Reload it and it takes you back to the start of her chamber - and you can reroll as many times as you need for the picks you want!
One thing I've noticed is that if there's a gold pot in Master Chaos's realm, then there's bound to be at least an epic level boon on offer.
IT WORKED HEART REND
oh cool
7 win streak 
just bought the unseen ones what a vibe
damn i didnt know it stopped orpheus from singing
oh you can reset okay
Nah
I got it now
I needed to get all 3 too
Sup gamers
It's really funny how much of a stereotypical paladin Theseus is. All this holy pathos, and cheating godmode abilities aka "bubble". Combined with his personal delusional belief Zagreus is an "unholy demon" that wants to destroy the world
No way I can take him seriously
King Theseus is great.
Pink greataxe tho
No one takes him seriously lmao
But he has grown on me simply because he's so funny. And his "divorce" arc with Asterius was amazing
People like Theseus are the opposite of edgelords. People love them ironically, too
That's exactly my favorite kind of ironic characters
Man, Handes is indeed one of best hack'n'slash games
i too, am a fan of handes
all i want for christmas is rare crop please lady demeter i beg you
Theseus is a character I would unironically like if he wasn't so obnoxious lmao
i unironically like him because he is obnoxious
funny little loud man with an ego the size of the moon to cover his frankly obvious insecurity issues
I'm at that point in the game where I don't care about any of the characters anymore and I just wanna win
I do admire the fact that he has more depth to his obnoxious nature, as evidenced by his "divorce" arc with Asterius. It reminds me a lot of FE3H Ferdinand, especially pre-timeskip
I wouldn't exactly compare Theseus to Ferdinand given what we know of Theseus from the myths...
That particular development though? Fair enough.
I mean, Theseus from the myths and Theseus from Hades are two different characters
Within the context of the game though, they both share very similar behavior in terms of hiding their insecurities
OH BLOOD AND DARKNESS QUIT YELLING AT ME FOR SWEARING
I'm from a rural area swear words are our filler terms
Granted that's pretty much par for the course in terms of greek myth so like I can't say I'm too surprised
mood
Keep it clean. 
Not appropriate topics for the server. Might wanna have another look at #readme-first.
I'm not saying he isn't the best. Greek mythos is from a patriarchal society after all: it's something to keep in mind when analyzing it.
That said, it's important to note about the game Hades: it's retelling. It takes a story and changes it significantly (we don't even know much about the original Zagreus, which is why the devs chose him to be the mc of the game). As far as retellings go, especially modern retellings, this has been an ongoing trend. And that's the whole point: they're retellings. And that's what makes them so fascinating imo
AHAHAHA ZAG GOT KILLED BY A GOAT-
Yeaaaah, Zag has some interesting death sequences lmao. My boy really can't catch a break. My fav is when he ran into a wall he thought was the exit.
I will say one of my favorite things is that they addressed the weird confusion with Zag and Dionysus being the same person by just making it a gag
This isn't a Greek mythology server. It's a server from a game dev, and some of their games are suitable for younger audiences, hence some elements of the mythology are just inappropriate here.
I find that a funny detail: it's one of the few things we know (or more accurately, think we know) about Zagreus and his connection to Dionysus
That whole thing never really made sense in the first place, But the idea that it was just an in-joke between them makes so much sense given what Dionysus is known to be like
also 8 win streak
I have made it out twice 
I mean, the origins of Dionysus in the Greek mythos were...funky lmao
sweat in over 280 hours logged on Hades
Yeah he was one of the carry overs from a different mythos iirc
Which is quite the norm, actually: cross cultural exchange and all
Yeah, I think it's wild how much of it starts in weird vague spots
On that note, I think I'm starting to become addicted to roguelikes in general lmao
believe i have about 201 hours
Myths, legends, folklore, and religion are all like that, which is why I find them a fascinating measure for culture and history
wait no higher
I've always been obsessive with Roguelikes, Hades is just a really good one even compared to all the ones I've played
204 hours
I have long finished the main story and epilogue, and I am still playing. I just need to get that last 32 heat thing from Skelly ;-;
im working on the epilogue now
I have never played rougelikes before Hades, so the game was a good introduction. I am now getting into Hyper Light Drifter and I love it so far.
That's a good one, I also recommend Enter the Gungeon if you haven't tried it because it's amazing
Is it available on Switch? It's my only console, and I'm no good with PC lmao
I made it out the second time last night and it was like- Just barely.
I've been able to make it to Hades almost every single run, But beating him is a whole different story
Also yeah it's on switch lol

most of us are well aware much of mythos is... unsavory, but all the same please respect the server rules and bear that in mind for the future, thanks!
Alright
Killing your dad is hard lmao. It's a miracle I can do EM4 surprisingly well. Not at 32 heat of course: my record is only 20 heat so far ;-;
32 heat em4 is usually ill advised
Yeah, learned that the hard way lmao
Haven't attempted 32 heat in a while tho: still working on getting over my TD anxiety lmao
i need skellys final statue
I barely do any heat at all because I'm just trying to finish up the main story
I might mess with it more after but tbh my interest in the game is less the game and more the plot
The accomplishments do less for me than the story lmao
Everyone gives so much crap to Hypnos
Just let this poor child live PLEASE
poor hypnos
That’s what I said too. Three months later, 40 heat club
The pact is absolutely brilliant game design it’s like, we have as much game as you want
five hundred hours woof
According to my switch I'm at 90
A little surprising because I feel like i've played way more
Cuz there have been days where I just- Don't sleep and end up playing Hades all day
Your brain is likely counting time playing and watching videos and discord together
The switch don’t lie
Plus I really don’t want to see my hours on discord stats
I CAN REUNITE NYX AND CHAOS
You can
i mean i have the darkness for it now
I just smoked Thanatos so bad (24-3) that he spent at least 10 seconds incomprehensibly walking back and forth wasting my timer out of spite
Hades players to Dark Souls players:
- What would you know of struggle, Perfect Son?
AHAHAH
now do it 30-0 
I never have ;_; some day
i’ve been wanting to get it 30-0, closest i’ve gotten is smth to 1
don’t think so
mm
but yeah i want to get the robbed thanatos title
brb schooling dad
also triple beam on lucifer makes me feel like dads laser
i love it
Achiles spear beams 🤤
Just remembered that originally Zagreus is one of gods of religious rites
And, from one of versions, he's also ||father of Dionysus||
mhm
orpheus had a song about that :)
But, apparently, here Zagreus is a one of minor gods. God of burial rites
Well, was. Untill he decided to bail from underworld
Flame Wheels are so adorable
Their cute growls warm my heart as I dash back and forth through objects to let them explode on themselves
Until you turn on Benefits Package and get speedy teleporting ones. Then it haunts your nightmares.
Theseus from the myths should be rotting deep in Tartarus
Helping to kidnap Persephone and all that
Also murdered his own mum, which is apparently really taboo
Do chambers from temple of styx count for upgradeing keepsakes?
Yes
Whats the most optimal combo for spear
I know the sword's combo is special then two dash attacks
but what about spear?
Depends on the hammer/aspect but usually cast -> dash strikes
With Achilles you special before that
Zeus+ Dionizos
I'm using Achilles aspect
Do you have flurry jab
Yeah
Ok
apparently its a cast build?
Can go either way
Special -> retrieve special -> hold attack while dashing around into enemies
thanks
oh also, I managed to get Demeter, Zeus, and Ares as the Achilles aspect
what else can I add?
using Demeter cast and Ares main attack
If you have Ares attack you could go for Athena for ME

1 keepsake to upgrade and platinum trophy lets goooo

Didn't he kill his own son?
He also ditched Ariadne even after she helped him get through the maze
So it's fitting that in game he's portrayed as a jerk
He's probably one canonically

One version of that myth I heard was that Dionysus came to Theseus in a dream and said "piss off, she's mine"
Huh
Also, yeah, we can't forget about the time he forgot to change the color of his stupid sails and his father killed himself because of it
Though this should probably be in #h1-story-discussion
How do you screw up THAT badly

Which one is better for malphon aspect of talos or demeter?
Probably depends on the build
Demeter has really good damage but Talos can probably do some wacky stuff too
I can imagine using a build with a really strong Special and Draining Cutter, and just healing all the way up to full health at a ridiculous pace
Though I'm not great at malphon, so maybe you should ask someone else!
Most people will say demeter, I find it more fun but also needs a lot of levels to be good
That's the Platinum?
What's the translation?
this is prob a dumb question but is it worth going down different builds for the fates?
the fate quests
Knocking them out does give some nice loot
i guess its just an optional thing?
any achievements in them?
I play Switch so im not sure
ah okay thanks
Is there a god of rebirth achievement?
Or is it just an idea? I saw some posted something like that
I play hades on steam, but there arent any hidden achievements
not sure if thare's a god of rebirth, but god of blood for Playstation
O right god of blood
that's the only "exclusive" achievment, 'cause platinum trophies are all over ps games
Aight thank you
🙂
Is Huge Catch scripted for a certain amount of completions?
And is it a one time thing?
I don't think it is
Do you have the Boon list on the Codex?
You should look at its requirements
If memory serves, it needs the Conch Shell keepsake as well as other Poseidon boons
the huge catch event is scripted to happen once sometime after you grab the fishing rod
But after that it can also be gotten normally, right?
yeah
Well, "normally" since it's a legendary and those are always hard to get
Oh okay, I was confused cause i had blood filled vial and poseidon showed up with huge catch so figured i triggered it somehow
Meg has a heart over her head
this has never happened
I'm worried for her
never mind
I'm taking a break from the game for a bit but I'll probably still play once this month's monthly challenge is available

Posideon has no idea what Zagreus' name is right?
Wait really? Lmao
Might wanna delete that message? 
?
...bruh.
the one from earlier
not PG13 enoughh? sure
Pretty much, yup.
Indeed you got yourself the perfect boon to sell


really doesnt seem that useful anyway
it sometimes charms enemies but I don't find charming them that useful anyway since it only lasts a few seconds. it's useful but not THAT useful imo
Got two duo boons to choose from in one roll…🤦🏽♂️
which ones
I wanna charm asterius to kill theseus one of these days. that'd be funny.
Drowning and nausea
Going w drowning cause all i have from dio is call
My cast is pretty high also i feel like cast upgrades are soooo powerful compared to others
they scale better
dio call alone is a pretty good source of hangover if you have any decent call generation
COD sounds really lame
you dont want multiple hangover sources anyways
Because they knock each other
Feels like every run i do with sword now i get to hades and win after my first dub
Theres a delay from when you cast and when it hits, so if you cast all 3 and then knockaway dash into a crowd its pretty gnarly
Feels like i just passed a hurdle and now dont lose
Ive got 4 dashes rn too
pretty common
extra dashes helps ig
keep turning up the heat
Its actually nuts wtf i wish i could send video asterius is just melting
you can put it on imgur or something and link it
or in a personal server and link it
My bad
Well easily my fastest elysium boss fight, i always lose a life to those nuts
I've gotten better at the fight overall, though em3 asterius often ruins my runs with his spins.
Since I'm playing higher heat with stubborn defiances, i can easily die if im not careful
hades gud game
