I got the pierced butterfly achievement!! The 30%
noice
It sucks I can't create a proper build because I don't have access to rerolling yet :(
My favorites are Hera and the hidden bow. Chiron is also fun but not as strong (but very easy to play). Zag Bow and Hestia can be very strong and fun but also quickly get bland for me after just a few runs. Eris and the hidden rail have more depth than Hestia and are also pretty powerful. And Zag Rail is... kinda pointless tbh because the other rails are so much stronger.
Hestia is extremely good, I highly suggest it
It’s fantastic for players who aren’t confident getting in the faces of bosses (and also for speedrunning and high heat as well)
It’s a top 5 aspect in pretty much every context
Finally got dionyssus’ legendary boon. Why was that so tedious to get lol
Which Hermes legendary
Is it me or enemy is harder to hit with Hestia shot, specially dash striking it. I'm playing on pc
The setting “aim at cursor”
Can i get some principle explanation
Does turn it off means the game automatically target the enemy every time i push atk button ?
Wow
I thought auto aim already on, i noiticed it seem to guide my cursor correctly sometimes.
This change every thing about the rail.
It helps but you'll barely notice it unless Aim at cursor is off
Crazy 140+ attempts and i am oblivious to this
The rail stuck on 14 heat for a while.
Plume strats time
Honestly Greater Recall doesn’t do that much for Beo
Well no it’s pretty decent for CShot Beo
But without CShot it’s kinda pointless
i have a question
what are the requirements for ||chaos|| to give you beowulf's ||awakening phrase||
cause i cant seem to get it to work
Check pins in #h1-story-discussion
hm
i've done all that
so it just seems to be bad rng
the shield is growing on me so ig i'll just keep using it till i get it
I have a question related to that
Asterius talked about me coming in empty handed to fight then zag mention the twin fists
After this should he give me the awakening phrase for gilgamesh?
Yea if he mentioned the fists then it'll happen soon you just have to keep getting to Elysium and talking to him to get through that dialogue
You can check the fandom wiki
Going to try to get the thorn of Thanatos trophy. The one where you gotta get 30% damage with the butterfly. Any tips?
I did not even realize td turns off survival rooms
don't rush the man
is there a skill gap in the raw hades combat or is it just about boons
Absolutely skill is incredibly important
I couldn’t follow exactly what the top speedrunners do and get times as good as they do or as frequently as they do
If you try high heat you'll barely have any boons anyway
You'll need to be good at playing with the absolute minimum
And your expectations are gonna be very low because you cant expect to get a lot of things you want anyway
I’ve spent over 1K hours playing Hades and I still am nowhere near as good as so many other players
There’s always room to improve
I only have 580 hours 😔
So questions about two prophecies. First, is there an easy way to get flame wheels release from the well of charon? IM assuming it has to be in elysium
And second, does the learn how to play the lyre one just happen over time? Or do i have to strum it like 50 times in a row?
Reroll the wells using Fated Persuasion
You have to play it 20x times not sure exactly how many
Doesnt have to be in a row
i bought this game last night and i just now beat the minotaur and atheus
what should i expect next?
Are you asking what the next boss is?
yes
The next area is Styx and the boss is Hades
Do you want to know? Imo this game is really fun to find out as you play it
The next few chambers will be small and annoying
He’s actually a fantastic fight imo
Very well designed, well paced
i never have died to normal enemies
Pretty tricky to learn though
just bosses
Styx enemies are quite tough at first
Poison everywhere, they're all beefy so if your damage isnt very good you can struggle too
i have an ok build i think
IM usually the same, but some of the enemies in that section inflict poison damage which can stack up quick
235 hp and good damage rn
Is there any kind of concept art for unused characters, monsters, or gods?
For bosses just be deliberate and learn the moves, your dashes have iframes and it takes quite a bit of practice to time those well
Once you’re poisoned, make sure to use the glowing yellow pool in the room to cure yourself. And do it fast
I don’t think I’ve died in Styx in actual months
You can take a screenshot and send the link here
i mean i beat the last boss first try
the minotaur and athens
I think you can share it pretty much wherever, but there is also a channel below to show it
Damn that’s pretty good
i dont have perms to
No that’s only for clears
That’s for your victory screenshot
can i dm someone the build so i know if its any good or even worth trying still
well there's also a builds and combat channel
athens lul
you could prob just post it in this channel if you want
we dont have image perms
in any channel
ah, okay sorry
Send it in another server and then copy the link
What weapon are you using?
the gauntlet thingys
the fists then
Those are my least favorite of them all lol
its my favorite and i have them all
havent played in a while, but i really liked them
I actually got my first cleared escape with fists
Oh then you don’t have to send it, build is bad ||(/j)|| 
My favorite is the shield
and suddenly afterwards the bow became my favorite, pew pew pew
can i dm you my fist build
i wanna know if i picked right
@sour estuary
I'm not an hades pro lol
it wont embed
pretty much any build is good honestly i think
gaming 
the level 4 curse of agony works WONDERS
single DD tho
i have been buying ichor until i found more lol, sadly none yet
You wont find more unless you already lost that DD
idk how good advice this is since i havent played in a while, but i really like taking Dionysus' attack for my fists so that i can stack the poison, and then i used to get ares special for the uppercut so that im basically always doing damage
oh ok
i just picked this stuff because hahah big health and big damage brrr
yeah, i know this may sound dumb, but as long as you feel like youre doing good and youre having fun any build should be good. I dont really know much about min/max type stuff though
I do 
when i die i feel pain
immense pain
I can tell you optimal builds and I can say what’s fun for me but I obviously can’t tell you what will be fun for you
Hypnos will always be there to welcome you
well most of the time
eh i like the green dude more
forgot his name
Achilles?
yeah
yeah he's cool
yeah, i genuinely dont think theres a single character that i dont like
Tony
who?
i dislike meg
and all her sisters
what?! how?
she doesn't give up and just let me through
so im forced to waste time fighting her
Tony Vermin
I guess she can be kinda annoying being grumpy at first, but its her job and she changes as you play
is that the rat mini boss?
Yes
oh okay
We call him Tony
I didnt know that, ill keep it in mind
poseidon and the wine dude are my 2 favorite gods rn
btw sorry for interrupting. @sour estuary it sounds like @reef zodiac could tell you some good builds if you need them
Don't die that's a bad play
reduce your enemies hp to 0 while keeping yours above 0
Tony is cool
Anthony is not a cool rat
You'll come back to the chamber you were in before you left
oh so i dont need to worry?
Yeah
alr good
Btw if you take damage in a room you can't leave until all enemies (or you) are dead
ok
what if you force quit the game?

Where do I find videos of skilled hades combat
I looked up skilled hades combat and I found this guy, he's pretty good at the game https://youtu.be/_aMtspvjq80
The High Heat Leaderboard that's pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies has links to videos for all the runs.
How did i get through the entirety of elysium without one well of charon? I saved all my dice for it so i can finally get that stupid flame wheel release thing
Not as rare as you think actually, to have Ely with no wells

@safe crag collection of tips for Dad (from Nyaanyaa)
Hades Hades has three attacks for most of the fight: a thrust, the skull throw, and a spin-attack. If you have at least two dashes, you can i-frame the thrust and the skull throw easily by dashing to the side or through him when you see him start up any attack at all, and if you see while you d...

Ohh, thank you!

ty
anyone else have a hard time getting back into the swing of things once ya start after a hiatus?
It can take a bit
But the muscle memory is still there, you just need to practice a bit and you’ll get back into it
I’m about to fight redacted for the first time with desperate measures. Don’t know what to expect so wish me luck

“It’s just me and also 3 sneaks”
just kill them 
not the puppo
did you just have EM4, nothing else?
If only it was that simple 
is it not that simple with just EM4?
lol
is there a limit to how many enemies hades can spawn at once
iirc yeah
easy to see if he summons the dire crystal and you let the mini cystals alive
when he summons the next batch of mini boss nothing appears
is the limit the same for Em4 and without?
no clue for non em4
alright
when should i use meg on em4 hades
I usually use it phase 1-3 and try to hit a bunch of summons with it
Ye

Yeah, at the start of 1-2 he summons one miniboss and then at 1-3 he summons two more
ah cool
what are the summon rates on non em4 do you know?
I think he summons about the same number in 1-2 as 1-3 but I’m not certain
also when people talk about 2 sneaks = death, is that referring to phase 1-3 where he summons 2 at once, since you can kill each miniboss seperately in 1-1 and 1-2?
especially with FO2 I assume
sneak bad
So it may be manageable for lower heat to focus on killing a sneak that you get in 1-2 before going to 1-3, it’s often not really an option at high heat
And sneaks just make it very hard to safely dodge and do damage to Hades when they can just appear and throw crap at you
Is there a good strat to get the trophy for using a gods greater call against them?
Go with a lot of DDs/high hp and just let enemies hit you
High hp actually doesn’t help I don’t think
I believe that your call charges equal to the % of your health lost
This is why the routed loyalty card % runs use lvl 1 Guan Yu
i thought you meant lucifer dem attack and i was.. confused
meme beams are super fun though
Like for the basic uh
Basic boons for this I'd just need
Crystal Beam, Glacial Glare, Snow Burst
For a start
use achillies
Crystal Clarity
Blizzard shot
Wait
Whoops that's the wrong thing
Crystal Beam, Glacial Glare, Snow Burst, Crystal Clarity, Mirage shot
Basically using the laser as the main source of attack
Wait if you use the +2 cast mirror thing and mirage shot that'd mean like 6 lasers

yeah
wait
If you were to get fully loaded too
And a chaos boon for another +1 cast
6 casts
And with mirage shot, that's 12 lasers

you’re probably not getting fully loaded with all those boons you need
though 2+ casts from chaos is possible
Chaos curse brings them down to 10 hp
Howdy
new player here. I'm curious about some things
I'm playing the game and loving it tons. I have a bit of a policy of once I platinum a game, I start messing around with mods and save edits. Is that a possibility here?
Yes
there is an entire modding server pinned in #self-promotion that you can check out once you want to do that 
Nice. Of course this is stupid op, but it is something for fun only after I do everything else: is it possible to add boons to our character through save edit? Say, something ridiculous like having all (compatible) duo boons?
tnx ^_^
There’s mods that allow you to
Well, gotta get to work then
Managed to get to hades already, gotta learn that bastard's move set now
can you get stubborn roots with ri4
Is mirage flare a thing
That’s my question
Wait damn im@dumb
Sorry I meant the crystal beam as a flare
Probably not,
Seeing you don’t have a defiance to upgrade
i think if you have skellys keepsake you can get it? but dont take my word on it
uh, iirc SR requires the actual death/stubborn defiance
idk if that trick was patched out but it seems like in 2020 it worked at least 
Yes actually
I remember watching a 57 max heat run from mid 2020 that got it
With ri4
You need to have a Defiance slot, which you can get mid-run from Lucky Tooth or from Master Chaos. You can lose the DD and still get the boon if the slot is still there.
neat
damn, hades keeps kicking my ass XD
tbh, the best to do is just upgrade the character, no?
Ye it's just
Not a crystal Beam anymore I think
Just becomes a blast
Icy flare 
learn his attack patterns, they're pretty simple once you get the hang of them
and if he fires laser beams get as close to him as possible, he can't hit you with the beams if you're close enough
best sg game other than hades?
For me is Pyre
As someone who hasn’t played any of the other SGG games, yes

If i purge a hermes boon, is it possible to find another?
Like if i purged the second one i got
Yes
Nope. Just the 50% chance to find a third one in the final shop like always.
Well
Oh maybe that’s only in Tartarus
If you buy a Hermes boon in Tartarus then you can sell it to get two new Hermes boons later
I guess that doesn’t apply to other regions
what
Is that not true?
im like 95% sure this is false
you can never get more than 2 hermes boons before styx
I heard it from Haelian a while ago and could have sworn it was working but I could totally be wrong
That's not true
2 Hermes max per run no matter if you sell it or whatever
3rd from styx
If that was the case you wouldnt see people resetting on Hermes
That’s crazy that I thought this then
Lmao
I have way too many hours to believe something like this

I just beat that gross zombie sister(forgot her name) for the first time and didnt get any titan blood, I dont know how to get more
Tisiphone?
yeah
“gross zombie sister” :(
Lmao
I honestly like tisiphone the best
Tisiphone and Charon could've been a great love story
also, I think (not sure) all Furies count as one, so you won't get titan blood like that
Yeah its this
Only 1 blood per weapon for the first boss
Btw, what are the detailed changes god mode does?
intersting mechanic. Ty
Dont treat her like that.. 
its not her fault
im sorry
omg your right
Yes
They all count as the end boss for Tartarus
is achilles decent on kbm
Probably better on KBM
Do you think they will make a sequel to hades that takes place directly after the first game events?
Or just any sequel
nah
No
Bon appetite!
Bone jaw
Imperdable
Unless em4, he pushes you away 
favorite duo boon?
Smoldering Air
Freezing vortex

smoldering air too
Idrc about duos cos my favourite build doesn’t rely on any to be good
Tho smair is nice to have 
What's your favorite build
Arthur with a bunch of aphrodite, athena dash, and frozen touch
Because you get hit alot and max chill on anything that hits you is very helpful

Frozen touch is at best a below average boon
Ok
I didnt a little choked up when we told mom Cerberus is doing very well just now you did
meme revenge build
Arthur+aphro has so much damage negation taking a hit is ok, even with HL. The 40% slow is amazing for bosses, negates FO if you have that. Alternatively take demeter attack but then you miss out on some damage, so with frozen touch you can have weak and chill without sacrificing damage
Unless you’re omegachad you’re gonna get hit with arthur, having defensive options is never bad
I am so rusty at hades right now I didn’t play it for a year and my last save was deleted, can someone help me defeat hades or help beat Minos
That’s a pretty broad request, what specifically are you struggling with 
ice wine
and/or scintillating feast
Hades the video game.

Just learn their attack patterns, dodge those attacks then attack when you have an opening 
What more is there to say
go big or go home, turn it up to extreme measures 4 and relearn the game that way
Minos does not appear in game at any point
Do you mean Theseus?
I hope they make some sort of pvp fighting game for a hades sequel or something
I wouldn’t get too attached to that hope 
well I at least hope for a sequel
Wouldn’t get too attacked to that hope either
I agree
if its like hades ill love it
Odds are, their next game will be completely new ip
It’s not a rogue tho
New ip, different genre too
I just hope it has challenge run potential. They clearly know how to make a good boss so I’m hoping for some of those too
I hope they do SOMETHING with Hades, like at least big updates each year or something idk
they’re done with the game
Almost certainly no more updates
If you like action rogues you could tryout dead cells or curse of the dead gods
Hades is literally my first rogue so ig I do like rogues
Dead cells never stops getting updates tho 
Bothe of them
Ummm kill bull first then kill thesius 
It’s as simple as learning attack patterns and how to avoid those attacks, then smack em when it’s safe to
@celest sedge what aspect you using
The build and/or strategy you use to fight the bosses may change depending on what aspect you use
Almost certainly 
It’s just funny to hear “Minos does not appear in game” and be like “yep that’s the boss I’m struggling with” 
I got 1 blood titan but I am not allowed to unlock the Zagreus aspect
😂
Wym not allowed
I keep on trying but I am not allowed unlock it
What

why isnt my boy hercules in the game 😤
i think theres a statue of him you can buy but thats it
favorite legendary boon?
Splitting bolt
Yeah splitting is by far the best legendary, that boon is absurdly good
I’m also a fan of Bad News because I think the spaghetti code is funny
Extremely good 
Geez i didnt realize my fastest run was 18:20 with the gloves. Gloves are my least favorite and i just did a 24 run and thought it was good
its like advanced nectar, but it also has some other uses
like
id save it, but you can trade a little and still have some spare in the end
yeah save it for now
alright thanks
or trading titan blood if you're low on it
There's something I'm aiming towards, but I don't know if I'm progressing properly, I could use a low-spoiler hint to make sure I'm on the right path
||So I've recently convinced Persephone to return to the underworld, and I'm looking to unlock these 'companions' I keep hearing about. What I'm currently doing is crossing off things on the Fated Propheses list, and giving the various olympian gods nectar as the list hints I need to do that. I'm sitting on a stock of nearly 30 ambrosia. Do I just need to escape the underworld a few more times, or is there something else I should be working on?||
16 on steam, 32 in game if you count the statues
I found something cool
If you beat the game at EM4 and kill Hades before he jumps to his thrown spear, the spear remains in the battlefield after you collect the reward
Same can happen with theseus actually
||You want to meet people as much as possible. Ambrosia is not just for companions but are also for everyone. So Dingo what you want to do is talk to everyone as much as possible. All companions are chthonic BTW so don't worry about the gods. Maxing out the god's heart meters is for the true ending to the game. To get companions you want these guys to open up. So you know, complete questlines for all of them.||
Thanks!
That's cool!
Hi
can u download Hades on a chromebook? And can you download it as an app, and not on steam?
Zagreus aspect is default
Best bet is to ask that in the Modding server, but sounds like you just want to break the game lol
I wanna platinum the game before I mod, so I can just break the game for fun XD
ok, better work to platinum it and then platinum/complete it
It's gonna take a while to get all the badges, no?
I just got gilgamesh and lost 2 DDs to meg 💀💀 with no heat
Gilgamesh moment
In another run i escaped without using DDs or god mode so gilgamesh just sucks
Yeah this is kinda known lol
to unlock them well
this is a spoiler
||max out the hearts for some charecters the charecters being thanatos, megera, dusa, achilies||
also i got the unseen one rank after soooo long
congrats! im still working on it.. on and off lol
im a bit over halfway there, darkness wise. i have all the other resources
I'm like 7 ranks away 
Can fated authority change the room reward to be a duo god room?
If we just had dinner with the olymians then thats it? No more main story?
That’s the end of the meaty story parts. Theres still more character development for other characters you meet
I need to grind unseen one of these days 
I need some quick tips
Is there a specific way to farm something? I suppose no heat would be optimal, correct?
I'm trying to unlock the weapon aspects. How many times do I have to talk with akiles? Should I just restart and keep dying till he gives me the damn words?
What do I need to get the aspect of the stigyus? I kinda wanted to go all in with that opne first.
What is hte worst weapon of the game? I suppose that if I can do higher heat with that one, I can havez a breeze with the then better weapons.
No heat except maybe TD for no survival rooms. Clear the full run because you get the most darkness from Hades
I assume you mean Guan Yu?
The hidden aspect of the sword? You need Guan Yu first. The prerequisites are in a pinned message in #h1-story-discussion
Worst weapon is probably fists, worst aspect is probably Gilgamesh.
Does this answer your questions?
TD?
Tight Deadline
Well, time for me to go fisting I guess XD
I don't quite get how that helps with farming O.o
That’s probably not the way I’d suggest going about it
No survival rooms. I already said this
Yeah. Do I have to spend any titan blood on that first? Or do I just keep talking with akiles for the line in order to be able to go into aspects.
I see. The "survive X time" ones, correct?
Yes
There was soe youtuber saying the sword was probably the worst. Me, I guess it's up to personal taste
No you don’t need titan blood. Achilles is only for Guan Yu, the other aspects are unlocked in different ways. I again direct you to the pinned message in #h1-story-discussion
Sword, fists, and spear are noticeably worse than the other three
But fists are the worst
They have the worst speedrun times and the lowest heat records
I suppose it makes sense. People can't be as careless when they get close.
It also just has low damage
ok, fist are the worst, then sword, then spear. I'll have to git gud to properly use those, and that's what I want anyway
And are very greedy when it comes to boons
Or you could use a good weapon and get good with that instead
This is why I wanna break the game after I complete it XD
Break how
Mods
But it will take a long ass time to complete the game, I can see that already XD
Sorry, but I'm still confuse
I got all weapons available. How do I get the frist aspects? I mean, special conditions are only for the final ones, correct?
ok, one more run
once you select a weapon, where the empty slot is, interact with it again and you can view aspects
not really active here (or sure if this is the right place for it but) https://i.redd.it/kck662oglbt81.png

ty. u portuguese or brazillian, btw? I'm from Portugal myself
American lol
Hey I'm trying to complete Achilles' favor but the voice lines just aren't happening, are there any hidden requirements I don't know of?
I either really need to git gud, or the fists really need select boons to be worthwhile
They are pretty damn good to learn enemy move sets, though. Just go ahead with punch flurries and learn to identify their attacks
zeus attack is good on fists iirc
I beat hades at the second try with them, so I'll be using them for a while
I don't understand how it is good. I got it on my first attempt, but seemed subpar O.o
Like, it doesn't increasde fist damage, so against bosses, gg.
Maybe I wasn't focusing enough on fast attack + dash?
so it does do good damage
Or maybe i didn't upgrade it enough. Can be as well
Have you unlocked its final aspect yet?
I usually prioritize boons instead of poms
No. I don't rteally wanna use that aspect yet, anyway
Is it any good?
and you should be getting more poms
Ah alr I won't spoil, but it is very different, I rlly like it and think it's amazing but I also don't rlly like the base forms so take it with a grain of salt
Also, is there a pact "build" for the statue and stuff?
Spoil it to me, if you may. I already read it's description
Ah so
||it basically is just a dash build, it has 4 dashes to start, and has an ability with the dash-upper that I think is cool||
||so posidon dash everything into walls till they disintegrate||
That's on the 4rth upgrade, or do u need to get the dashes rom hermes?
The aspect has 4 dashes in it's base kit
You can get more from Hermes I think but I'm not sure
Ah Gilgamesh 
Just don’t press the attack or special buttons 
ight, seems like I really need to get that XD
I rlly like it but some people don't idk how meta it is
Maim is kinda fun tho
id personally stick it under cool but there are better options
I get melee being comparatively worse to ranged. If it is possible to do this through modding, after completing the game, I may increase melee damage to make p for the need to close the distance.
However, I do feel that melee is a wonder to learn enemy move sets. Learn their cues, when and where to dash, so on
Kinda feels like dark souls at times, using the dahes immunity frames at the specific time.
Well, personally I like not doing a slow attack with low damage that then increases the amount of damage I take from enemies. But you do you
Absolutely
5 llightning ffast punches that can be canceled into a dash at any time...
Any pact "builds" out there to get the skelly statues, btw, or will I have to pick up everything for that? T.T
Yea it isn't good just just kinda fun when it works, plus I'm still low heat so I don't have to worry as much (my highest heat is on the bow and is 18)
Hestia
what?
Pancake they mean pacts not aspects lmao
^this
Oh pacts?
im still confused on why stubborn defiance becomes better at high heat
lasting consequences
I swear to God if you say td3
Use Tight Deadline 3
basically when like, you're using lc4 you can't heal. but stubborn defiance still heals you so you use that for healing basically
thank you. How much u need for the gold statue?
I forget what that one does I'm still low heat
- Lasting Consequences 4 means no healing
- Normal rooms become very hard and getting through all of them without taking much damage is incredibly unrealistic
Gold? There’s 3 statues in total, for 8, 16, and 32 heat
Yes
But isn't stubborn defiance once per region?
Isn't the highest heat like 60?
What, would you prefer EM4?
64
em?
Once per chamber
ah, expert measures 4?
Extreme
What's the difference between chamber and encounter or are they the same?
You said region lmao
I read on it. Seems hard, but I'd rather learn more on the move set than being unable to heal the whole run T.T
Encounters have enemies
yeah
Huh
I did, I just wanted to make sure ik all three apart since ik region and encounter
Trust me LC4 not remotely as bad as you think. LC4 is absolutely without a doubt universally worthwhile for 32 heat
If I can't heal, how am i gonna do it then?
Stubborn Defiance
I haven0t ever managed to get through the game without healing, I can guarantee that
Guan yu
Stubborn Defiance
I am including the hp I get from stubborn deffiance
ah, I see
And it heals you up to 30%
If you have 200hp, you can take 60 damage in every single chamber
Who needs healing
so you just have to accept you will never be full hp again?
Problem is, I lose most hp from single encounters, not from chip damage T.T
Well items can increase sd regen
And patty
Yeah
Oh
ok, I'll be slowly making my way there
But then you get a 3 sack and it runs out before dad fight
For how long?
Will come here when I get to a roadblock
15
I wouldn’t suggest LC4 SD until 32 btw
Well if you have 200hp, you can lose a maximum of 119hp in one room if you entered with 60
That’s a lot
Ty
I haven't played since August, I should not have jumped back in to 17 heat with maxed the option that spawns more enemies and the option that makes them move faster. That was a bad choice to start with
EM3 was probably also not a good choice
Yeah JS3 really sucks
Don’t take that one lol
I don’t suggest JS3 until around 45 heat
And even JS1/2 should probably be saved until the high 30s
Huh. Good to know, what would you suggest instead
Maimed Soul on Arthur was also a bad idea dsffk
Me who was doing js3 for my 18 and 19 heat runs so now I understand what I did wrong
scared of td
Takes pacts that make you slow instead
But now that I actually tried td (cuz of that chart someone posted) it's rlly not that bad at td 1-2
Playing easy rooms quickly is way better than playing hard rooms slowly
Trust me
You can learn to play quickly enough that TD3 is free, but you can’t exactly learn to play well enough that JS3 doesn’t make rooms harder
Js was kinda fun tho
Can’t agree
No
I mean again this was at low heat
Spending 2 minutes in any Elysium room because there are 70+ flame wheels spawning 1-by-1 isn’t my definition of fun
I understand, those floors were annoying
I love it when there are 5 waves of unarmored swordsmen in c34 🙂
shorter runs will prolly help you improve faster too. running through with more builds and aspects and fighting bosses more
True
MM max fo barge of death with maimed soul arthur went better than I thought it would
MM barge is so much better than normal barge
Long time no see how ya been
Good hbu
dead inside as always 
I mean yeah, but it's not exactly easy to do with Arthur's special
Just attack and don’t get hit 
Are Erebus gates a scam?
Generally not a scam
But not necessarily worth taking
Tartarus centaur heart Erebus gates are so goated though
about an 80% chance for elysium erebus gates to spawn a dire bball right on top of you. generally not worth at high heat
Nice
I forgot how easy EM lernie is. It's a shame you have to take EM1 for it though cause that one is actually harder
em lernie ez till youre playing melee and he three shots you at fo2 
Arthur is so fun on EM Lernie cause I hit like half the extra heads every time I swing sword
Hitting 3 heads with one hit is so satisfying
cshot beo and head go boom 
Uh yeah he’s definitely easy 
I definitely don’t die to him more often than EM3 champions
I had a dream where I was playing hades and I had JS3 and TD3 but I was in a room and the enemies never stopped spawning so I died to timer

That wasn’t a dream that was Elysium

infinitely spawning tart witches 
I admit I did not expect to win my first run in months with higher heat than I'd handled before. Especially not after I blew two lives before elysium. But I got back into the swing of things apparently and also got 2 more death defiances from wells and pulled it off
Only have 2 more prophecies left until all of the prophecies are done
Already got 100% on the steam stuff but I'll only count it as 100% when the prophecies are done.
And then
I think I'm gonna play hades a bit less often
but before that
I'm gonna do some wacky stuff with modded
I won with 0 time left lol
awesome
em3 heroes are arguably easier too
theseus doesnt have that stupid shield until phase 2, at which point he's at like 40% health and an easy finish
i suppose the spin attack from asterius could prove to be pretty bad
Lmao god no
That spin attack is a nightmare, at least for me
Ahh help decide. Chaos or trial of the gods
You’re on the good stuff if you think EM3 makes champions easier
Chaos
only for me at like 8 heat
Done
want to know my dealer? i have very good contacts

Honestly when he goes into phase 2 in EM3 I kinda just
use my companion to finish em
the fight is basically over when he goes into that phase
Yeah it’s a take I’ve heard before and it will always be extremely wrong lmao
Or just do that at the start of the fight
So you guarantee you hit both of them
Theseus is arguably easier in em, asterious however is not
The only thing easier in my opinion is the chariot. Its pretty easy to read where its going
Big “arguably” there
He’s definitely not btw
In other news, I have beat multiple runs in TD3 now.
IDK I've always had less trouble with him in EM
Insane
Only on lower heat

For me, it is
Your subjective experience is incorrect 
no lol
I know, but someone else thinks otherwise
Oh ok
K then
Wow how did you know that yes em4 is totally much easier than normal


||to be clear this is a joke||
try fo2 hl5 regular champs then try with em3. youll learn to not like the cart very much. or the repeated super sonic charges very much lol
Ik i was just saying very low heat
Hadn't played Hades in 9 months, and then beat 17, 18, 19, and 20 heat with Arthur. Apparently Arthur really is my ideal weapon lmao. Should I go for 32 or get the other weapons to 20?
Whichever you think would be more fun for you
I’m still convinced that every Arthur fan is just a Hestia main who doesn’t know they’re a Hestia main
Same with Chiron fans
honestly fair
do 40 with arthur
I have the overwhelming feeling I don't have the mindset for hestia. Mostly because I cannot remember to use things like that one ares boon that activates on kill or the Achilles spear thing correctly
just play arthur forever haha
Don’t bother with that ares boon
I mean it’s pretty good but not really crucial
I never look for it. Sometimes that's just the boon least likely to hinder the run
Goddamn the fated persuasion upgrades are expensive af
If you’re learning Hestia, start by just doing reload -> shoot -> repeat
How the hell do I get so much darkness (rhetorical, of course by playing more)
by playing the game
Then try to integrate dashing to cancel the reload
Then try to integrate specials between every other reload
And casts
And dash strikes
The possibilities are endless
and then abandon run and switch to arthur 
arthur is good
Define good
The speedrun builds of Arthur don’t even play the aspect, they just use cast builds
It’s also arguably the single worst 51+ heat aspect in the entire game
That's indeed what I do lmao. Aphro attack stronk on Arthur. Honestly the fact Arthur is slow is good because it makes it harder for brain to go "hahaha dash strike forever" directly into the wall
forget speedrunning and aside from 50+ it works fine
I need one more hammer to complete the spear prophecy
but I'm not getting chain skewer at all
Yes but literally what doesn’t
Still can't get myself to stop dashing into lava but not dashing into walls thinking I'm hitting an enemy is improvement
so you're suggesting everything isn't good then?
If you disregard the things that require and aspect to be good, then every aspect seems like it’s good
I’m saying not everything can be good 
Obviously depends on your definition of good
I love burning to death by accidentally stepping into magma over and over
If everything's good then nothing is
arthur is good, just because it isn't the best doesn't make it not good 
I define good as "I enjoy using it"
Same
But under my definition, it needs to be not a bad option in at least one situation where it’s better than other options
also it's rly easy to use
you cant get it with exploding launcher, aspect of achilles, or guan yu. that might be why
OH
YOU CAN'T GET IT WITH ACHILLES
💀
I tried using Eris once and it didn't go well. Brain reverted back into monkey mode and just spammed dash and stuff
Isn’t that how you’re supposed to play Eris
It’s the easiest speedrun aspect for a reason
I mean probably, but I was going into walls more often than not
Well yeah you gotta do it in the direction of enemies 
I've been spending all my titan blood into chiron and no other aspect of any weapon, wish I could get than returned lol
You'd think that would be easy to remember but I seem to struggle with that part
just use arthur, doesn't need any blood to be good
Exactly
I'm 2 levels away from chiron max so I'll just do that since it'd be better than any other level 1 or 2 aspect
Ooo
I will forever be an arthur simp
Beowulf..?
Shield
Hidden shield
Oh shielf
Arguably best aspect in the game
I thought chaos was good for shield
Has like a million bugs that all work in your favor
Extremely strong in general
Yeah but that’s not the only reason it’s good
wait
I'm assuming modded probably lets you add levels and just spawn in random boons right
I was going to invest all blood in chaos shield next... Should i go beowulf instead?
My 52 heat Beo run was pretty much only impacted by the harmful bugs (casts popping out taking i-frames for example) and none of the positive ones
Doesn’t need bugs to be good
in that case the fists and Hermes' strike with like a crazy level sounds wild
I tried using it a couple times and it went poorly. Not because of any particular reason I just got really poor RNG and wasn't good enough at the game at the time to work with terrible boons
Yes, chaos sucks very hard
chaos isn't good at all
big suck
Chaos is by far the worst shield
go for beowulf
Every other shield is actually very good
aspect of Zeus is fine but
try zeus
But Chaos is bad
Beowulf.
Go Zeus shield
Zeus is super good too
and handsome
Hmm do I go beowulf or hestia then... I think i won't go hestia cus I want to use the cluster bombs build more
Both are fantastic
go arthur 
Beo and Hestia are my top two favorites
Go Gilgamesh
They’re both amazing for heat and speedrunning
I hate gilgamesh
Honestly can’t go wrong
Yeah it’s garbage
What's the best aspect at lower levels? I have 4 blood at hand
It's not good but I enjoy it
uhhhh
All are good, but imo Hestia is quite busted
Hestia level 1?
You can just one-shot everything form far away
wait what's hestia again
Oh nvm
the reload power shot right
Hestia lvl1 is poopy
I find Eris more useful and consistent really
Yes
Hestia is a pillar of consistency
How's beowulf at lower levels?
Literally works great with a single boon
Great
arthur
Bro we get it you like Arthur
Eh idk
it's true tho
I second Arthur
Hmm level 1 beowulf or Arthur
You can try beowulf idk
why not try both
Easily sniping enemies for 500+ from literally across the entire screen with only two boons is so busted. Hestia 
Blood is such a luxury and precious
there's enough blood in the game for everything
Excuse me how do you
Whenever I have to make a new file, I do all my bounties with Hestia because I can turn the brain off and watch YouTube
I'm not good enough to do a finishing run with every weapon lol making it hard to get blood
Heartbreak Strike with either a chaos lunge/strike or Hunter dash

Ok since I'm gonna do another spear aspect when I can to get the chain skewer uhhh
Is aspect of Zagreus better or
Hades
zag spear is not gud
Neither is Hades though
I prefer Zag over Hades but Hades is better

Alr good
I hate Hades with a passion
After that the only prophecy I'll have left is
The rail
And then I'll officially be done with 100%-ing the game
pancakes favourite weapon
no, I'm not getting the third skelly sculpture
Rail and shield are my favorites
not 100% until you do 32
just do it with hestia ez mode
TRUE
Technically I already sorta did 100% since
Literally true
