One of those wiki articles you'll never find if you don't already have the link. courte5Beegsmile

oh lol h ecan get mauled by a bear

slim geyser
#

want to try and get all of them

rotund galleon
#

after all this time I only saw the bear message

#

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.

Oh, and speaking of the end of games, after persephone comes back, do you ever get to go into Greece again?

signal aspen
#

No

past gate
#

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

slim geyser
#

nah theres fishing points where you fight hades

flint spade
#

Yop, good fishes too. Sadly I never got a perfect catch, but the regulars are worth the effort

slim geyser
#

tips on crush shot hera?

#

id assume take artemis and posideon for mirage shot

#

would heart rend help

hearty mural
#

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

is there a big difference between the hades versions?

last veldt
wary mural
#

ok

rich gulch
#

This run is already making me suicidal

high island
#

#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.

slim geyser
#

got it, thanks!

#

also finally got gilgamesh

devout lantern
#

Does anyone else wish the other God aspects worked like the Chaos shield does where they talk to you during your run?

slim geyser
#

huh?

devout lantern
#

?

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

slim geyser
#

they, and yes? but other gods do that too

#

wait what

#

no they don’t

#

they just mentioned the shield

devout lantern
#

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

slim geyser
#

but it doesn’t do that though as far as i’m concerned

#

i’m pretty sure chaos just mentions you have the shield

devout lantern
#

They literally do though

#

They talk to you during the run, I've seen it happen like constantly

slim geyser
#

huh

signal aspen
#

occasionally chaos will say something during the run

#

when you have their shield equipped

devout lantern
#

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?

umbral bloom
#

Aspect of arthur is so fun

#

what

#

I just did 1,2k with just one artemis boon

slim geyser

i’m sorry how much darkness do i need for nyx/chaos

Nah, just base.

slim geyser
#

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.

Wish you could leave Nectar behind for Lernie

I wanna befriend the funny bone creature

slim geyser

lmao

same with tisiphone

devout lantern
#

YEAH

#

Also why can't I give the Good Shade some Nectar

slim geyser
#

im working on a cosplay for her i just love her
fact

#

hell why not asterius

devout lantern
#

The one person rooting for me and I can't throw em a Nectar or two

slim geyser
#

i’m not a fan of asterius but i know other people would love to

ripe fossil
#

asterius and lernie lowkey best bosses

slim geyser
#

lernie yes

ripe fossil
#

i want lernie as a pet thanthink

slim geyser
#

i dont

#

but i do love him

ripe fossil
#

playmates with cerberus smth like that

devout lantern
#

Also

#

And I know this is absolutely absurd

slim geyser
#

i have to draw that

devout lantern
#

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

slim geyser
#

eh

#

i’d love like an opposite hades there

#

though=

#

where you try and escape olympus and get boons from cthonci gods

#

cthonic

gentle tundra
#

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

brisk quiver
#

yes its really good cause now u can play hades on the go

gentle tundra

ok good i just won’t want to waste my money

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

lone kernel
past gate
#

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

lone kernel
past gate
#

Oh idk

#

I don't really know the differences between one and the other

lone kernel
#

Yeah me neither

brisk trail
#

Lite doesnt have detachable joycons

#

Smaller screen

#

Worse battery life

Huh

#

That looks like some good value right there

And no tv playing option

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?

past gate
#

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?

midnight dock
#

Somebody know how to unlock aphodite last heart?

mint coral
#

(beo speedrun and max heat route with zeus)

past gate
#

Can you know exactly what room will spawn where?

#

And boons?

#

And everything?

mint coral
#

Yeah

past gate
#

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?

gray apex
#

Yes

#

The starting seed is the same

past gate
#

Huh

gray apex
#

The rng is a different story

past gate
#

So you just need to try and try until you get a good seed?

gray apex
#

You can manipulate rng using certain things

#

So no you're not really dying until you find a good seed

mint coral
#

A lot of things change rng lol

gray apex
#

You just find a seed with couple of things to start with

past gate
#

Wait, I'm confused

gray apex
#

Then carve your way to the end

past gate
#

When you say seed

#

What do you mean?

#

I thought a "seed" would dictate the luck for the whole run?

gray apex
#

No

#

It dictates the starting boon and whatever the c2 reward is

past gate
#

Huh

gray apex
#

And if there's an early Chaos/Erebus

#

Anything beyond that can change depending on the rng offset when you finish the rooms afterwards

high island
gray apex
midnight dock
#

Some peoples said that needed to have a romance with the three

gray apex
#

And the concept of a frame perfect run is also very complicated in this game

polar quail

#

Lets go farm for more hours

polar quail
#

you have to forge a bond with all of them. hers opened after I finished dusas

past gate
#

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

versed mason
#

there is more than one song that can play for bosses for each region, they all have their own names

#

i think

past gate
#

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

hearty mural
#

They serve the same purpose dusa

#

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.

past gate
#

Yeah

#

Just small things

umbral bloom
#

I just got heat 5 when I was barely able to do heat 1 what

past gate
#

Cool!

#

Sometimes you just get that nutty build and you breeze through the game

umbral bloom
#

aspect of arthur is carrying hard ngl

past gate
#

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

umbral bloom
past gate
#

Disables traps, slows projectiles and enemies, gives dmg reduction

umbral bloom
#

wait it disables traps?

#

nice

past gate
#

It does

#

And also aspho lava

#

Sadly doesn't work on poison puddles

#

That would've been kinda nuts

umbral bloom
past gate
#

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

umbral bloom
#

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

past gate
#

Its power shot damage is insane

umbral bloom
#

I hate power shot

#

it always makes my finger hurt

#

it's a good upgrade but my hands don't like it lol

past gate
#

Power shot is a natural property of the bow

umbral bloom
#

OH

past gate
#

You don't need a hammer upgrade

umbral bloom
#

I thought you meant the explosive shot

past gate
#

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

umbral bloom
#

Bro 175

past gate
past gate
umbral bloom
past gate
#

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

past gate
#

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

umbral bloom
#

Btw what do I need to awaken the secret aspects

slim geyser
umbral bloom
#

thanks

slim geyser
umbral bloom
#

I think I already have the titan blood and guan yu requirements

past gate
#

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

umbral bloom
#

I think I'm close to getting the meg companion but she's never in the house

past gate
#

I think you have to defeat Meg for her to appear there

umbral bloom
#

Oh

#

I only get Tisiphone

#

I got her so much that she learned how to say zagreus

There's a lot to uncover in this game

sullen karma

i wanna see what the monthly challenges are

umbral bloom
#

Idk what they are either so

#

maybe speedruns or heat?

sullen karma
#

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. courte5AphroHeart courte5Beegsmile

umbral bloom

amongst other roles

umbral bloom

That just means you're playing on a gamepad, yeah.

sullen karma

i wonder how possible it is to beat the game on the first escape attempt

It's pretty hard

sullen karma

Mirrorless would be difficult, but not impossible

devout terrace

Ive done 57 heat mirrorless lol

I think the hardest part would probably be trying to fare without the double dash talent

flint spade

Sheeeesh

flint spade

right. I'm always on god mode

devout terrace

taken for what

sullen karma
#

to beat 62 heat

#

from what i gather, your the community's resident god

devout terrace
#

I'd played around 900 hours at that point

how many hours have you gotten now?

signal aspen
devout terrace
#

980 bouldy

magic sky
devout terrace
#

Its only been like a few weeks ago

sullen karma

so 64 is the max heat

flint spade
#

yes!

sullen karma
#

and not even the resident god has defeated such a foe

devout terrace

didnt grind 62 for that long, main grind was from 50-60

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 mean clearly the rng is in the cards

which heats is your 62 missing Angel?

devout terrace
#

"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

wait no 14

flint spade

my goal!

devout terrace
#

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

flint spade
#

still stuck on 19

devout terrace
#

unmodded atleast

#

which can be crushing sometimes

gray apex
#

Modded speedrunning is pretty fun

slim geyser
#

wish i could try modded tbh

devout terrace

I was sacked out of sub 7 9 times before getting it

If you’re not pushing

umbral bloom

what's the fastest weapon

There’s a lot of good ones

but alas
can’t get mods on xbox i believe

i’d say rail is a good option

esp eris rail

you can be very fast to clean up with arthur

So you need to find him in his solo fight in Elysium

if I'm not mistaken, use the fists, talk to asterius until the special dialog

if you want a brain dead build put lightning on special and profit

first one use the fists

I always have difficulties against hades with malphon tho

Here's a question for you lads - if you had to choose one instrumental boss track as the best, which would it be?

umbral bloom

what's a good bow attack boon

EM4

I'd say Hades but it's just menu theme but again, after all, so yeah

Although phase 2 is pretty cool

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

vague scaffold

Ah ok thanks

#

Does hades need to be beaten

#

Or just encountered

#

I think neither but logistically it happens to most people after a victory because of ease of acquiring blood

I see

Ok thanks

achillies spear is quite fun too

Im still mad i started the game with sword got to hades most times and died

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

Only my second day playing and i feel like ive improved vastly

it took me a quite while to beat him the first time

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

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!

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

high island
#

King Theseus is great.

tame plaza
#

Pink greataxe tho

oak ibex
#

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

tame plaza
#

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

Theseus is a character I would unironically like if he wasn't so obnoxious lmao

narrow hemlock
#

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

signal aspen
#

I'm at that point in the game where I don't care about any of the characters anymore and I just wanna win

oak ibex
#

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

rich gulch
#

I wouldn't exactly compare Theseus to Ferdinand given what we know of Theseus from the myths...

#

That particular development though? Fair enough.

oak ibex
#

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

devout lantern
#

OH BLOOD AND DARKNESS QUIT YELLING AT ME FOR SWEARING

Not appropriate topics for the server. Might wanna have another look at #readme-first.

#

This is literally just greek mythology

oak ibex
#

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

slim geyser
#

AHAHAHA ZAG GOT KILLED BY A GOAT-

#

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.

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

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

#

Though I'm not great at malphon, so maybe you should ask someone else!
