I recommend you actually don’t do that
Oh?
As an EM4 streaker the fight against big man is actual hell
Combining that with stuff like HL or TD is pure agony
You should actually try to do EM4 but don’t use anything else, just max out EM and run it
What do you streak EM4 with
Lots of things
I meant heat
Oh, nothing else actually
Mainly because of the hades fight, if it weren’t for him I’d prolly add TD or MM
But because hades hits like a sober alcoholic who just ran out of whiskey when you crank it up to 4 I have to try to save up my DDs for him alone
That's fair
Sometimes I’ll actually just 0 heat it to cool off from too much EM4 but otherwise it’s almost always either EM4 or EM3 with MM and whatever else I’m feelin that day that isn’t Consequences or HL
You can keep EM4 off until 55 heat 
I hate 55 heat bruh
I pretty much wouldn’t ever use it below 50
I used it to get good at fighting hades
After doing nothing but EM4 streaks he felt like such a pushover without it
You hate 55 heat? Have you tried 55 heat
Twice, and never again
Weirdly specific number
You gotta climb up there
Yeah obviously you can just jump from 16 to 55 
50+ too hot
Yes
It’s that painful?
Never use EM4 before 50 heat unless you’re trying to make the game harder than you need to
On its own or at low heat it's not hard at all
Well nothing at low heat is 
I can imagine getting like 2 shot at that heat
Maybe even 1 shot
Yeah his spear throw does 100 damage
Ouch
Assuming i even make it out of tart on 50
Love when the fastest attack also hits the hardest and also can come flying from off-screen and also can go through block at close range. That’s how you make a balanced bossfight that definitely isn’t just weighted towards a single attack
I genuinely dont get your thing for spear throws
I literally just explained it
I haven't gotten hit by a spear in ages
Oh and it hits twice if you’re not quick enough
How do you get hit my anything else
It’s like 3x harder to dodge than anything else in his kit
It does not?
Based on what
It’s faster, comes from offscreen, goes through block, has more range?
You can tell that he’s either gonna throw or spin but once he starts his throw animation I’m pretty sure there’s a hitbox almost immediately
It’s crazy fast
Well ig you have like 1k hours in EM4 so you would know
Maybe don’t be standing in his hit box when you see him wind up either of them
You can look at frame data if you want. But I’m just saying that I basically never get hit by anything else except occasionally the cast or spin. But almost every run that dies, dies to throw
Oh really? Don’t just get hit? You think I should avoid the attack? Really? Wow I’m so glad you’re here to give me some life-changing advice. Thank you so much mr. EM4 master
Mine is always either double spins or green rocks
just don't get hit bro ez 
Bruh if the wind up is really that fast maybe don’t stand inside of him, stand back a bit
NO WAY DUDE
It’s almost like he’s fast
Because it’s FO2
And it’s not the simple
Jesus
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now I see your point
FO2 EM4 
Don’t talk down to me like I don’t know how to fight him
I did EM4 for my 50, 51 and 52
Mb dude
That doesnt make you good at the fight
I just didn’t know we were including FO2 in this
No but it makes me at least have an understanding of not standing in his attack obviously
I’m not saying it’s undodgeable
It’s just by far the hardest attack
not beo moment
Learn to dodge it then
I’m not saying it’s unfair, just imbalanced toward it
I know how to dodge it, it’s just harder than every other attack so it hits me more often than anything else does
You seem to be misunderstanding what I’m saying. I’m not saying “spear throw is bs”, I’m saying “spear throw is so much stronger that every other attack that he has that it controls the entire pace of the fight to the point where some weapons are forced to just fight him in a single corner in order to manage it”
I mean yeah, being punished for being 1 frame off knowing what he’s doing by taking a fat 100 damage seems cheap To me
It’s not frame perfect
I was just not aware of the context being FO AND EM4
Ik, just giving my opinion without knowing the exact frame data on it
It’s in the context of 50+ heat because before that you can just ignore EM4
unless you want FUN 
I mean I use EM4 for my casual runs
I like the idea of chad hades but mixing it with other pacts is rly rough
Because my causal runs are always trippy Beo and I want to try to one-shot phase 3
It’s a fine fight when it’s not too hard but it’s just extremely imbalanced with the minions and the spear throw (especially on melee aspects) that it’s pretty garbage for high heat tbh
I’ll take a sneak and gorgon over SHIELD CRYSTAL
Lmao
GOD I HATE THOSE THINGS, I HATE THE DAMN SHIELD CRYSTALS

Bruh
this is great
Em4 shield crystal isnt possible 
Ik, I’m just saying that’s the one thing I like about EM4, no shield crystals
Breh

It’s why I like streaking it, besides it being just more fun for me
Skull crusher > gorgon > doom stone > sneak > bball
2+ sneaks literally makes many aspects virtually unable to win the fight
Retrash can beat it 
Retrash cracked af and broken op
the aspects cant win it without retrash buff 
Is BBall really bad for non shields? Because I find sneak to be infinitely worse
I don’t think I’ve ever won EM4 with 2+ sneaks or a phase 1 sneak
High heat at least
Butterfly ball just eats the acorn so quickly
bball kills acorn
True but sneak kills acorn and then me
Nom nom nom
bball acorn kill -> spear throw true combo
ye i think sneak is worse too
but bbal still very bad
i think its definitely not as bad as sack RNG lol
for em4 sneak you always could outplay it
you cant outplay the sack
sack rng? just play faster in the first 3 areas to compensate 

Yeah but who ever has? Are there any 55+ heat win with 2+ sneaks? Even one?
Maybe I’m dumb
probably retrash somewhere
is retrash god of hades
Kind of
He’s very experienced at EM4
He's the god of EM4 for sure
He's cleared it with the worst builds and worst weapons for it
Like zag sword with dash nova at 57 heat

Like spear throw isn’t unfair, it’s just very imbalanced which I don’t like.
Summons are actually just unfair
52 cursed slash tempest strike 

The retrash build™
why does everyone hate dash nova
Cause it sucks with almost every aspect
i kinda like it with nemesis, it's fun
get rid of the dash before specials, save a tiny bit of time
It's weird
And hard to control
Being sturdy is a nice addition but like why
You're just yeeting yourself all over the place
I wonder what a Hades fight would look like if it was a 2D action-platformer like MMX / MMZ...
is there a way to import my steam save to the game pass
no
@ angel
hi
Wait
Someone said they liked Zag shield and asked if it was bad
But they deleted their message it seems 
i like zag shield, is it bad ?
@ angel
nice
Imo, shield's not bad at all, but I feel like its damage output is lacking. I'm guessing it's meant to offset the 'Block' capabilities.
No shield is not just “not bad”, it’s actually incredibly good
Probably the best weapon in the game
And the damage output is definitely not lacking
Have you played Beowulf?
Or used Charged Shot?
Or played Zeus shield with Thunder Flourish + Static Discharge?
Or chaos shield with thunder flourish

I unironically like drunken flourish more so you can throw it out and then just not use the special until hangover goes away
I clearly do not know how to play with shield, haha 😐
Do you have Beowulf?
Yeah, I do. I've unlocked all the weapons.
I don't know, I tend to have the worst luck with the shield compared to the other weapons, but I think it's because of my own impatience, haha. I like to just get in and smash/punch the crap out of things with the sword or the fists.
Ahh, interesting about Beo
Try Beowulf
With Flood Flare
Look for mirage shot
It’s arguably the strongest weapon in the game
Cool, thanks. I'll try it out when I have a chance 
Haha, right now I'm aiming to beat Hades on extreme measures with my upgraded sword. It's a pride thing atm.
No spoiler tags needed in this channel
Ah, cool cool.
Anyway, yeah. Just a pride thing on that regard.
Beat Extreme Measures Hades with sword.
Nonetheless, thanks UnholyPancake. I'll keep that in mind for Beo
beo is glitched lmao its great
Beo is so absurdly bugged lmao
Have you heard of trippy flare?
Trippy flare is yucky with mirage shot
Nah man, never heard of it. What’s trippy flare?
never
Nope
yes
It works on every cast except Thunder flare
:0
It doesn't really "work" because it's bugged and does 100% dmg instead of 30% 
For flares

maybe it just works really really well
can you reroll and get duo boons?
Rerolls don’t block any types of boons
It’s just like picking up the boon fresh again
ok
gotta tell y'all i recently got Hades & love it; it's ruining my sleep schedule, haven't obsessed over a game this much since Skyrim
Yeah it’s got such a compelling gameplay loop
I might just be stupid but I got a worse time on beo than Arthur at a lower heat
What the hell am I doing wrong
Arthur is super easy to use
That’s probably why, then
I committed big skill issue
Arthur + Artemis strike
Wouldn’t Aphrodite be better against common enemies
Because she has a far higher multiplier, and doesn’t rely on RNG?

Artemis bad for arthur
Your 2k dmg crit means nothing when it hits a 100 point shield
Aphrodite is hands down the best
Imo demeter is also a solid choice because 40% slow makes boss fights extremely easy
I learnt that the hard way when my second hit of the combo did most of the shield and my third big swing did a big yellow “6”
Artemis on Arthur honestly sucks ngl
I’d prefer Demeter or Athena
4th pick is a rough spot
yeah
But if I manage to somehow not get any of those and only Artemis
I don't really mind
I'm 3 starring my keepsakes first
Then I'll actually use them to get the stuff I need
Only have 2 keepsakes left to 3 star
alternatively take plume, pray for a good attack boon, go fast and you'll end up at hades with 30%+ dodge
which is great for arthur
Just take Aphrodite keepsake
Yes I know I just don't care about using the keepsakes for now
I'm just gonna 3 star the remaining things and then get the 3-5 other achievements
can confirm this. I got +40% attack speed from hermes on arthur and it was nutty
true
it was my second EM4 attempt and dad got wrecked
I did take demeter attack for that one tho
Arthur is one of the few cases where swift strike doesn’t suck
cos slow dad is easy dad
yeah swift strike isn't that useful on alot of things
cos alot of aspects mainly utlize dash strikes, specials, casts
but arthur with swift strike is rly good
Ayo what
Beo? I wonder if swift charges bull/dragon rush faster
I think it does
If it does same would to for Rama too

Fair
My current run is going terribly. If I use "give up", is everything randomized again?
No
The starting seed is the same
So you’re most likely gonna get the same first few chambers
Same boons as well?
Yes, the rewards from the doors are gonna be the same
It will change slowly
Unless you’re incrementing the rng
It’s fine to use when you cant be bothered to reset for a certain hammer or rarity etc but it does make your run seeded for leaderboards
Now that I think about it though, I started with the Thunder Signet and I changed it mid-run, will I have the same doors if I do change to Thunder Signet?
What do you mean?
TS makes the first Olympian Zeus, but between zones I changed it to a different keepsake. Will I still have Zeus as the first Olympian if I don't change my keepsake to TS?
(if I use give up)
I really wanna see Cerberus as a puppy for some reason
Not necessarily
pretty sure if you give up, first 2 rooms will be identical
They can change a bit

Chamber 1 has shades and shades increment the rng and there’s also the big Tartarus banner that shows up
If you have a bit of aoe and end up breaking the pillars towards the end of the room you also increment the rng
And if you have BP active then what you do in the courtyard can have an effect on it
oh wait I meant room rewards stay the same
like your first boon/hammer + the next room
and if theres a chaos gate it will always be there
atleast I think 
Yes

Hi to get the Boss rewrads from heat 2 do I have to finish the whole game first on heat 1 ?
You'll get bounties for the lowest heat that your bounty meter reaches
So if you're not done with Heat 1 Bounties and you do a run with 2 Heat on you'll get Heat 1 Bounties
Or whatever is left of them
Ok I understand thank you
this is extremely interesting. do you have a video or tutorial on hades rng somewhere? some kind of resource?
https://youtu.be/AHdt35TDvNY This explains a lot of the basics of how rng works in this game
Routed runs in Hades are Seeded runs with precise RNG Manipulation performed by the runner in order to get ideal rooms/enemies/boons/rewards to get the fastest run (in ingame time) possible. Routing is made possible through the use of mods, but legal runs must be performed without mods.
This video is an overview of how routing works, what a rou...
😩 thank you!
can someone help me? i know this is a mega noob question, but i haven't played the game in a long time. how do i leave the house of hades to continue my run?
go to zag's room (bottom right)
there should be a mirror there, edit your abilities and whatnot
ty my guy
go out to the courtyard where skelly is, and the exit should be there
(pick weapons in the courtyard)
yup
Skill, lots of it
Yeah, i'm talking about the pact
The time limit and Extreme Measures 4 if you're already used to it sounds like a good place to start, I'd say

Lmao
TD3, MM, EM2, UC, BP1, HL1 is a pretty simple pact
There’s a lot of options
But there are some things that you absolutely should stay away from
Under no circumstances (beside wanting to make the game harder than 16 heat would require) should you use:
JS, CP, EM4, RI, AP
wdym em4 is still the easiest pact

Especially on sword and fists, its an instant pick from me
Easiest 20 heat is actually FO2 EM4 CP2 DC2 on arthur
Adding more RNG to your run is always a good idea
Try to maximize the amount of RNG you can stack into your run
Don’t forget AP2 so that your boons are random
Then all you have to do is get lucky
The best aspect for high heat is Chaos shield and then get vengeful mood and hide in the corner holding block. Easy 58 heat and if you’re lucky you might even be sub3 hours
I used em4
Rip streak of 50

That’s why you don’t listen to random people without getting a second opinion
EM4 is an incredibly brutal pact
Yeah but i wanted to play and that was the only response
Thanks for the advice though
What if i cant do tight deadline 3
Is forced overtime 1 okay
Might as well try
oh yeah we were absolutely joking about that you might not want to listen to those lmao
TD3 >> FO1
guys
might be a little out of context
LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes,
from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore,
awing the earls. Since erst he lay
friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him:
for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve,
till before him the folk, both far and near,
who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate,
gave him gifts
here is the prologue of beowulf
translated from old english
we also have beowulf in hades so i just wanted to post
I can't do td3
Then practice
Question. Where/Which channel can I offer a suggestion in? I have two weapon ideas and actually a god idea for the game that I think would work well.
Game is done with updates
Yeah they’re not adding any more content
A friend of mine may have kinda sorta taken a Chaos boon that hurts when using the rail's attack...just before going against the furies 😅
Well tell them not to get hit?
They made it by the skin of the teeth
I don't want to practice td3
Then I guess just accept using worse pacts
Sure
TD3 is the only pact in the game that is truly free with practice
If you are able to do sub20 minute runs consistently, you can literally play as if TD3 is not there and it will impact your run in no way
Can’t say that for any other pact
It's not fun to practice it so i don't wanna do it
If you eventually want to do 32 as a long term goal, learning TD3 is one of the easiest ways to do it
And lc4
i'm probably not gonna get there
Welp this is my best run yet, I am at the final boss with 2 death defiances left and 275 health
You got it
Damn I got to the second phase and died
Well for me, a fast run is always more fun than a slow run
Why spend 30 minutes on a run when I could spend 15 minutes on that same run instead
out of curiosity what were the ideas
but yeah they wouldnt be added
WAIT WHAT
woah
Insane!
no way dude
Pancake is right tho, practicing TD3 will make life easier than with taking something else
i know right
the easiest 16 heat is obviously EM4, AP2 and HS
RI4 LC4 TD2 HS
HL16
i forgot about R14
FO5 
Speeder is FO5
Actually speeder + FO2 is a +110% speed increase
So even worse than FO5
fo7
Well more like FO5.5
Em4, hl3 cp3
And no im not nasty enough to tell them to do fo and ri and ap with em4
If you can get a sub-20, you should be able to
The game? It’s pretty damn complete imo
CP3 doesn’t exist
you unlock cp3 when you beat em5 charon obviously
Kill me i forgot the max heats of everything
It does if you believe hard enough
https://www.leereamsnyder.com/blog/hades-build-guide if your having trouble with td3 then getting ideas of building properly is a good start
Woe em5
My life and level of intellect already secures an EM5 level of hell for me.
That is to say, I make poor decisions as a result of being a numbskull.
A numbskull with savior and cloner is still potentially a run ender
Not with zeus 
Potentially
And honestly it usually won’t end your run but it can really mess up a decent pace on Hestia
Depending on your build
Clearing cloning skulls/mounds with zeus is so satusfying
Almost the same thing, except the levelling effectiveness drops off when you do too many poms, and the rarity can’t be upgraded past red (heroic)
No, the levelling for poms are the same@across all rarities
Em 1 to 3 are basically free if you know the differences between the “upgraded” boss and the normal ones
I say “upgraded” because em 2 and 3 arguably make the hydra and heroes easier
Beowulf is broken
I think most flare poms do double their displayed number
I have brain damage that was a super old post
I clicked on a reply/message link by accident I think and didn’t realise I went almost a year back sorry for pings I’m an idiot
I’ll just piss off and die of embarrassment
nah i think thats just a trippy bug
mirage shot is the super bugged one
100% damage babyy
Beo block is also broken
Why is beo broken in a good way
Easily makes it best aspect for me
Yeah honestly Beo is wild
Havent tried beowolf aspect cuz havent unlocked it but i like zag aspect
You have to try beo
I’m just gonna say, it’s a surprise that beo in the hades continuity died to a dragon
My guy had the most broken weapon in the world
How good is beo really
Broken as in scuffed as in glitched
Oh
And the glitches and bugs are all positive
Tell me some of the most useless bugs
For starters, the block for beo is double the radius of the other shields
240 degrees in front and to the left
Wait no to the right*
Sorry
insert big plate safe image
mirage shot does 100% damage instead of 30%
trippy flare has double poms
so 2 poms is like 200 dmg per hit
I didn't know that
God dayum
I got that aspect yesterday
Yeah I have been having a lot of fun with beo aspect
Might be one of my favorites
Is it weird I like the aspect of lucifer?
A lot of ppl are saying it’s bad
I sorta like it too
Idk a laser is just cool
the exaggerated swagger of a laser and bombs of pure hellfire
You’re allowed to like bad things 
I had a super good run with it yesterday with attack lightning and max attack speed from Hermes and a few chaos boons buffing attack
I could do like 1k dmg in a second cuz of the dmg rampup
very very cool
I gotta try it with Zeus' attack sometime
Also Demeter's
Idk a freeze ray sounds cool
You can take Zeus' flourish if you want it to detonate sorta immediately
Since it activates whenever the lightning strikes
Yeah
I rlly don’t like phalanx shot
From Athena
I feel like there are a lot better boons for cast
This is funny to me cos alcohol is poison
You give the shades liver cancer
And people who died of it just sigh and buckle up
Oh no, the louts would have damage resistance to all Hangover effects.
luci fun
so true
zero alcohol grindset
haelians new hades video is really interesting
The route?
yeah the speedrun routing
I didn't know you could manipulate that stuff
explains why baj spams summon in his 64 vid
Yea that's what a route is
I thought you like entered a pre determined seed somewhere 
Well you do use a predetermined seed but it only dictates what the first chamber reward is and what the second chamber reward is
And it keeps changing afterwards
very interesting indeed
I'd imagine so
And obviously creating the actual route
It looks a lot easier than it is 
I tried it for like 4 hours straight
On the old Beowulf route
Well, I’m learning the hard way that fists with posidon dash is a bad idea
Didn’t even think about it
They are fine sort of
It can be difficult to hit some enemies
Because the dash keeps pushing them away
But the dash can do more damage than your attack lol
Yeah that’s my trouble
The speedrunning discord has all the files that you need to run a route, it's can actually be pretty fun and with some practice you can be very consistent at it, Tartarus is usually the trickiest part, if you're interested in running it ig
thanks for the info
but I've no interest in proper speedrunning, atleast not atm
||Soon ™️
||
my focus is heat climbing
I find that more enjoyable
but I still care about time because if I finish a run with 19 mins that's not good enough and I need to do better because eventually I will add JS and I can't be slack
whats better for chiron aspect on bow? concentrated volley, point blank shot or twin shot?
Concentrated is the best at high titan blood level
If it’s level 1 or 2 Chiron bow then twin is probably better
k thanks
if it's low level use something else 
Yep lol.
max level Chiron is pretty cool
it's pretty fun
true
and has great single target damage
rama with double/triple point blank shot 

Rama after getting used to beowulf is easy to manage
anything is
God maybe I should start a new save and play again
I haven't played hades in so long
if you do play on hell mode
that's what I would do if I ever started a fresh save
Swift strikw doesnt apply to dash strikes
Fair, they probably drank gallons of wine every day
I still can’t believe that someone actually fell for the “em4 is free 10 heat” meme/trick
I asked my friends their thoughts about EM4 hades and all said that he was easy to beat
actually it wasn't like that and from that point I decided to learn his pattern to actually beat him lol
Have they ever done high heat EM4? Where he does 100 damage per spear throw, has over 78K hp, and moves 40% faster?
They're probably trolling lmao
this
lol
although I took it with a grain of salt because those friends have much more hours put in this game than me so I understand why they think the boss is easier for them
I mean low heat EM4 is pretty easy
But low heat anything is pretty easy for me
But EM4 becomes insanely bad when combined with other pacts
so I should avoid taking EM4 when I get lots of heat?
Absolutely
I don’t suggest taking EM4 until 50 heat at the lowest
And I’ve seen Angel go up to 56 heat on some aspects without EM4
EM4 bad

Changed color again?
I have been blue for a few days now
Well I didn’t notice until you changed your pfp lol
I was gonna change the color of my name but the bot died 😔

When does artemis' heart unlock? Shes been blabbing about callisto for an eternity
When she's done talking about Callisto
Yes 
Bloody lasers, AND THE DOG.
Lasers aren’t too bad
Green pots are the next problem.
WHERE ARE THE ROCKS COMING FROM!!!
So dad thinks a boulder dropping out of the sky is insane but an instantaneous meteor shower is a-ok?
Yes
the ceiling
The ceiling that is the open air above the temple courtyard?
technique question. i’ve read you can charge the spear spin while dashing. it seems not to work for me - i have to stand still until it is fully charged, only then i dash (and release it) - is this how it is supposed to work or am i doing something wrong?
yep, that i do. thanks for the confirmation 
Yeah dashing releases is
And it starts charging faster out of a dash strike
So usually the combo is dash strike -> hold button to charge -> dash to release spin
oh, that’s useful info, i didn’t know that, thanks
Dash strikes are better for almost every weapon
but charging the spin attack after a dash doesn’t make it weaker, right? (like the bow power shot coming out of a dash)
No
he probably uses a trainer lmao
I don't even know what is that
@pearl osprey it's a downloadable set of hacks to modify most singleplayer games
you can turn on options like "invincibility" or "one hit kill"
it works great but what's the fun in it
so..
I beat the game with 3 heat
and
this mean the boss rewards will reset when i beat the game on 3 heat again, right?
after i beat it the 3rd time with 3 heat i need to switch it to 4 heat for boss rewards to reset
the fun is learning how trainers work
rewards r sequential & u get them as long as the heat is higher or = than the reward #
I thought you are talking about something in game perk or smth
sry
they sayin ur friends l33t hacer
i mean i guess...
thats generally y ppl bother with em imo
It's down
oh
scawy
Big Brother is always watching.
Go for 32 next. On that note, let me try to beat 32 this time again.
Probably getting all the achievements first
32 heat sounds hard
But since im an aegis user, i can pull it off probably
With good rng
As long i can get piercing shot, i can take on most bosses
Going for an Achilles spear win myself. Dad chucks though.
hello i have stoped playing for a while anything new in the last update?
like what are this other minor fixes?
i havent played since last year and never checked the update logs
Beowulf makes 32 very manageable
I suppose beowulf is good with cast build or is there another build that is good with it?
Cast build obviously
yeah I figured
For 32 heat, you can either use flood flare and look for mirage shot, or passion flare
haven't done a good cast build before so I might try that
I see
You can still get mirage on passion flare but it’s rarer
Also Mirage Shot is bugged on Beowulf
It gives 100% extra damage instead of 30%

There’s a lot of Beo bugs
You can find them in my bug document
Boons: Boon Bug Example Trippy Flare (Beowulf Only) Pom scaling is double what the boon itself says To calculate the actual amount of damage, do: ( (Displayed damage) - 50/60/70/80 (c/r/e/h) )*2 Common lvl 1 trippy flare does 100 damage. Common lvl 2 trippy flare does 220 damage although...
ngl I didn't expect this game to have bugs like these because it runs flawlessly at least from my POV
It’s not that kind of bug
It’s not “glitchy”
It’s just numbers and stuff
It’s not about how well it runs at all
yeah I see what you meant
btw it will take a while for me to memorise all the boons' names
I just started to play this game and I cannot for the life of me get bored of it
rougelikes are addicting tbh
I've had it for over a year now 
im still trying to memorize hermes and chaos icons
to no avail tbh
hermes is a bit easier
it is moreso that I can play wherever I want and whenever I want
Hermes has multiple boons with the same icon

since I come from uni and I can be tired or not feeling like playing anything or I am at uni and I have a 2 hour break in between courses/seminar
I will just sit somewhere to play this game
Would ares special with dire misfortune on Zeus shield work good?
It would be fine yea
You can look for Athena instead and just get Merciful End
It'll do more damage
And it's an easy setup on Zeus shield because you dont need dash
Try to get impending afterwards
ah okay that makes sense thanks
Without ME your damage is gonna be pretty bad in the later half of your run
At least compared to Zeus special
Yeah now if only I was lucky
wait till you beat hades and then just cant beat him again for like 20 runs
how does rush delivery work
do i get the +50% damage if i have any movement speed, or do i get +50% of my bonus movement speed
so if i had 10% from the plume, would i get +5% damage?
That
bro where is Zeus at i've been looking for him for 3 runs now
Try using his keepsake
probably looking for him to get his keepsake
I wish I could
I have reset my save i notice that meaby the 1st dialoage with mother has change i remeber she said to never comeback or was the 2nd dialoge?
What
Is there a certain aspect I should use?
Rn I only have the aspects of chaos and Zeus
Like not use per say
Buu is there one that typically comes up as the best or one of the best?
nope, but there are a few "bad" ones
zag sword, zag spear, gilgamesh
just go where the dark thirst guides
gilgamesh is bad?
slow attacks + maim is bad
really fun if you unbind attack and special and go for a tidal dash run tho
kk
how many requirements are there to unlock it?
you gotta unlock the other aspects first
it's pinned somewhere
and then achilles will just randomly give you the unlock line...
||Aspect of Guan Yu. Acquire the Fated List, unlock at least 5 other aspects, and fight Hades at least once (outcome is irrelevant). Achilles should tell you more in a conversation soon after that.||
So one of my friends just got the game and when asking for advice I told them that Charon will occasionally have a bag of money free for you to take.
I have no idea where to put this but|| hey why the HECK is there a secret Charon boss fight and why did it drain me of my death defiances ||
You are a menace to society
I literally just got that encounter I’m gonna have a stroke
We do this to each other
😭
bro who hurt you
Charon fight is really fun
Very unique
Well designed
I should fight him more but I often do runs where it’s not really an option (hitless, speedruns, high heat)
I already experienced that with EM4 Hades
until I got Arthur and I got extremely lucky in getting 4k crits while he was healing himself
question about the shackles
if i were to say have a dash boon
will my buffs
be gone from the shackle?
nvm :>
i read more about it
finally got a sub 14
what would a cf2 hoarding slash golden touch build look like
i'm really tempted to try and see how high i can get my gold count
what
yes.
Why CF2
How does that contribute
Also I’ll tell you what it looks like: mediocre. Hoarding slash is quite bad, it makes you give up boons + poms and in exchange you get quite a small amount of damage
Pancake, you should rename yourself to The Crusher of Dreams methinks.
oh i mean for 32 heat

Oh
Well I guess it doesn’t really make a difference since I assume you won’t be buying anything
does hoarding slash boost base damage or just add damage
Add damage
If you have 300 gold, it will increase your dash strike damage the same amount as a common lvl 1 heartbreak strike
With 600 gold, it’s doing just as much as Shackle (except only to your attack and not your special) 
You could also just buy 4 boons with that money
hey do you keep lambet plumes's bonus dodge if you unequip it?
No
but why
facts
💜 agreed
How much is it to fully complete the mirror? roughly
a lot
ah thanks
More than 5000 is all I know so far
a need for clarification. is it correct that shatteres shackles keeps the bonus on unbooned slots if …
- you get a boon on either one of them
- you get a dash attack boon?
35.365 darkness exactly
Boons on 1 slot dont affect the others ye
And dash boons also dont affect the shackles
thanks 
Like 20k I think
That’s for only red
The entire thing is idk
Same
same dude
I stopped hating the bow afterwards
altho it became stale for me rly quick to play with it
i love chiron
I very much like Arthur

Guys guys guys
i have great news
i think
so i beat hades back to back now
kinda
i beat him twice in 3 runs which is very new for me
so i think this means i am fit to play high heat now

@high island Nyaanyaa, i unlocked the special aspect for Varatha but i dont know if it is worth using. Is it actually good? 
Yeah, it can be decent enough and is a lot of fun. But it's gonna be very difficult to survive with it at Lv.1 because your HP is so low.

hammer reliance 
Having a heroic aphrodite attack boon, flurry jab, and like 3 attack amplifiers feels so good 
And also, apparently there is a boon from Lady Demeter (i think) that upgrades the rarity of a boon every 3 chambers
thats basically how i got the boon from Lady Aphrodite to heroic
Varatha is the superior weapon.
Shield all the way beo is busted due to its 10000 glitches that make it good
My theory is that everyone who likes Chiron would love Hestia
I don’t quite understand why Arthur and Chiron are so popular with new players but Hestia isn’t really
I don't like the hestia playstyle
How
?
You don’t like sniping enemies for 500 from a distance?
reload>shoot>reload>shoot>reload>shoot>reload>shoot is boring to me
Reload -> special -> dash strike -> reload -> cast to cancel reload animation -> dash strike out of cast animation -> reload ->
Literally has the most complicated attack combos in the game
Watch a speedrun or something
umm ok and? that doesn't make it any less boring to me 
?????????????????
Have you tried optimal Hestia play? Ever
It’s incredibly hard to learn
when someone doesn't like the same thing as you 
But you haven’t done it
You’re saying you don’t like it but all you’ve done is press two buttons while standing in place
When the actual optimal play is 5 buttons and is completely different
You special to cancel the reload?
Do you dash strike to hit one enemy with tidal dash and then hit a different one with your attack
And then reload special cancel dash dash attack for a group of enemies
It’s seriously not
Your complaint with the weapon doesn’t make sense
Pancake at it again 
I know that because I used to have that complaint. And then I learned how to use the weapon and now it’s literally my favorite weapon in the game 
That’s crazy

Zag bow is the least fun weapon in the game
That weapon literally is just two buttons
Actually puts me to sleep
weapon not aspect
Rail is the actual most fun weapon in the game for me
but different aspects play completely differently to each other
Zag bow is insanely boring while Rama is incredibly interesting and fun
yeah I know, and considering all the aspects each weapon has, overall rail is the least enjoyable for me
i agree rama is very interesting and fun

I think all 4 rail aspects are in my top 8 most fun
cool :)
What is it you don’t enjoy about playing rail, I’m actually curious
Someone did a concept of that on #fan-works too lol
I don't like shooting things or having to aim a weapon. This isn't hades exclusive, I'm not a fun of guns in anything that isn't a shooter. I much prefer melee combat in basically everything I play. Specifically in hades I really enjoy dashing around hitting things with a sword or shield.

no
Well
and you missed the point
even if I had aimbot I still wouldn't enjoy it 
Also Eris is a melee weapon. Just plays like faster fists without hit stun
sure
omg I just saw it... amazing...
Wait have you ever played spread fire zag rail
can you please just let me not like rail in peace 


is it?
Yes
i've only ever played aim at cursor and there's definitely some autoaim
but i like putting effort into things 
wouldn't that be gilgamesh since it's only one button
Lmao
Honestly no
Gilgamesh at least feel unique
I wouldn’t want to play it often though
Achilles spear is good
Is so nice
Lmao
was i not supposed to do that 


is the autoaim really so strong that it deals with just eight directions
and just makes you hit anything
On Rail only
noted
Wait does this even mean
I play on console so I’ve never used aim at cursor, I’ve just heard it’s bad for rail

meant that you can hit your opponent every time with just eight directions
crazy
It's only 8 directions when you actually have control of it
Crazy that “auto aim” automatically aims 
And if there are enemies nearby you wont have any control over it

It'll lock onto them you literally cant move it
All skill
But there's this 
i have auto aim on i didn't know it'd affect kb so much
Well with aim at cursor on it's barely auto aim
Only time I have issues with auto aim are:
- On Hestia when I’m trying to break a pot but can’t aim my attack
- Beowulf special because it sucks for some reason
- Achilles special because it won’t let me not miss like wtf the angle is so wide why
You have to turn it off for the auto aim to take over
i played gilgamesh like once then forgot about it
feels clunky
It sucks
:(
Silly combo: Rocket Bomb and Cluster bomb. Its like the special attack on the bow except even more punchy.
"even more" is that implying that bow special is punchy 
LMAO “silly combo”
Fair point. Most of the time when I use the bow special gets Deflect so I don't have to aim so prescisely to knock things back.
You do realize this is what every rail speedrunner looks for
It’s famously broken
400 base damage
It is kinda silly tho, seeing five rockets fly out of a gun
When I hear “silly combo”, I don’t expect the next words to be the quintessential meta Rail build that literally everyone hopes to find 
Hm...what's the pick here from all epics: Tempest Strike, Typhoon's Fury, Breaking Wave or spin the dice?
