chiron is also pretty good but it falls off when heat climbing

modern hull
#

I got the pierced butterfly achievement!! The 30%

brisk trail
#

thick root
#

It sucks I can't create a proper build because I don't have access to rerolling yet :(

high island
#

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.

reef zodiac
#

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

umbral badger

i needa get hermes legendary w beowulf

#

that would be sooo fun

uhh auto collect cast

Uh

#

Aim at cursor

#

Turn it off

#

Now you couldn’t miss if you tried

quaint heath
#

Wdym ?

#

Change the cursor ?

reef zodiac
#

The setting “aim at cursor”

quaint heath
#

Can i get some principle explanation

quaint heath
reef zodiac
#

Pretty much

#

Auto aim

#

OP

quaint heath
#

Wow

#

I thought auto aim already on, i noiticed it seem to guide my cursor correctly sometimes.

#

This change every thing about the rail.

gray apex
#

It helps but you'll barely notice it unless Aim at cursor is off

quaint heath
#

Crazy 140+ attempts and i am oblivious to this

#

The rail stuck on 14 heat for a while.

gray apex
#

Now you can do 60

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||

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

modern hull
#

After this should he give me the awakening phrase for gilgamesh?

gray apex
#

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

quaint heath

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?

mint coral
#

Use hestia, no pact of punishment

#

Or maybe td1 to disable survival rooms

silver fern
#

I did not even realize td turns off survival rooms

toxic sapphire
lean ember
#

is there a skill gap in the raw hades combat or is it just about boons

reef zodiac
#

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

gray apex
#

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

reef zodiac
#

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

gray apex
#

Same

#

A bit less than 1K tho

signal aspen
#

I only have 580 hours 😔

silver fern
#

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?

gray apex

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?

reef zodiac
#

Are you asking what the next boss is?

sour estuary
#

yes

reef zodiac
#

The next area is Styx and the boss is Hades

warped atlas
sour estuary
#

yikes

#

that sounds like pain

silver fern
reef zodiac
#

Very well designed, well paced

sour estuary
reef zodiac
#

Pretty tricky to learn though

sour estuary
#

just bosses

gray apex
#

Styx enemies are quite tough at first

#

Poison everywhere, they're all beefy so if your damage isnt very good you can struggle too

sour estuary
#

i have an ok build i think

silver fern
warped atlas
#

Is there any kind of concept art for unused characters, monsters, or gods?

sour estuary
#

where can i show my current build

#

i need to know if its any good

gray apex
#

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

silver fern
#

Once you’re poisoned, make sure to use the glowing yellow pool in the room to cure yourself. And do it fast

reef zodiac
#

I don’t think I’ve died in Styx in actual months

warped atlas

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

brisk trail
#

is there a limit to how many enemies hades can spawn at once

mint coral
#

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

brisk trail
#

is the limit the same for Em4 and without?

mint coral
#

no clue for non em4

brisk trail
#

alright

icy knoll
#

when should i use meg on em4 hades

mint coral
#

I use it depending on the summons

#

Can also save it for when he starts healing

reef zodiac
brisk trail
#

phase 1 is the only time he summons right

#

full phase 1

mint coral
#

Ye

brisk trail
reef zodiac
brisk trail
#

ah cool

brisk trail
reef zodiac
#

I think he summons about the same number in 1-2 as 1-3 but I’m not certain

brisk trail
#

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?

reef zodiac
#

Sneaks in general are just very bad

#

And it loses a lot of time to try to kill them

brisk trail
#

especially with FO2 I assume

fast willow
#

sneak bad

reef zodiac
#

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

fast willow
#

why can they spawn behind me when I'm in the corner

#

that's stupid

reef zodiac
#

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

silver fern
#

Is there a good strat to get the trophy for using a gods greater call against them?

mint coral
#

Go with a lot of DDs/high hp and just let enemies hit you

reef zodiac
#

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 wanna do a Demeter-laser focused run sometime

Just for fun

i thought you meant lucifer dem attack and i was.. confused

#

meme beams are super fun though

Like for the basic uh

leaden birch

Crystal Beam, Glacial Glare, Snow Burst

#

For a start

slim geyser
#

use achillies

leaden birch
#

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

slim geyser
#

yeah

leaden birch
#

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

slim geyser
#

you’re probably not getting fully loaded with all those boons you need

#

though 2+ casts from chaos is possible

gray apex
#

They dont bouldy

#

They used Eris otherwise the Call wont phase

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?

gray apex
#

Yes

void vigil
#

there is an entire modding server pinned in #self-promotion that you can check out once you want to do that shadesmile

trail citrus
#

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?

gray apex
#

Well you can through Mods

#

The Codex mod

raw herald
#

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

#

i think if you have skellys keepsake you can get it? but dont take my word on it

vapid narwhal
#

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 bouldy

devout terrace
#

I remember watching a 57 max heat run from mid 2020 that got it

#

With ri4

high island
#

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.

icy knoll
#

neat

trail citrus
#

damn, hades keeps kicking my ass XD

#

tbh, the best to do is just upgrade the character, no?

If i purge a hermes boon, is it possible to find another?

#

Nope. Just the 50% chance to find a third one in the final shop like always.

reef zodiac
#

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

Is that not true?

devout terrace
#

im like 95% sure this is false

reef zodiac
#

Oh

Wtf

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

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

brisk trail
#

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

That’s a pretty broad request, what specifically are you struggling with Thonkerz

Just learn their attack patterns, dodge those attacks then attack when you have an opening merushrug

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?||

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 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.

There was soe youtuber saying the sword was probably the worst. Me, I guess it's up to personal taste

But fists are the worst

They have the worst speedrun times and the lowest heat records

trail citrus
#

I suppose it makes sense. People can't be as careless when they get close.

reef zodiac

It also just has low damage

trail citrus

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

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?

trail citrus
#

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

fresh steppe
#

zeus attack is good on fists iirc

trail citrus
#

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.

fresh steppe
#

fists can proc zeus attack a lot of times

#

quickly

trail citrus
#

Maybe I wasn't focusing enough on fast attack + dash?

fresh steppe
#

so it does do good damage

trail citrus
#

Or maybe i didn't upgrade it enough. Can be as well

marsh ore
#

Have you unlocked its final aspect yet?

trail citrus
#

I usually prioritize boons instead of poms

#

No. I don't rteally wanna use that aspect yet, anyway

#

Is it any good?

fresh steppe
#

and you should be getting more poms

marsh ore
# trail citrus Is it any good?

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

trail citrus
#

Also, is there a pact "build" for the statue and stuff?

trail citrus
marsh ore
#

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||

trail citrus
#

That's on the 4rth upgrade, or do u need to get the dashes rom hermes?

marsh ore
#

The aspect has 4 dashes in it's base kit

#

You can get more from Hermes I think but I'm not sure

reef zodiac
#

Ah Gilgamesh bouldy

gilga still bad but that sounds fun af

reef zodiac

Just don’t press the attack or special buttons squirtyay

trail citrus
marsh ore
#

I rlly like it but some people don't idk how meta it is

fresh steppe
#

id personally stick it under cool but there are better options

trail citrus
#

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.

reef zodiac
# marsh ore Maim is kinda fun tho

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

trail citrus
#

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

You can literally die every single chamber

For the whole run

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

marsh ore

so you just have to accept you will never be full hp again?

Yes

That’s literally how it works

Problem is, I lose most hp from single encounters, not from chip damage T.T

#

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

reef zodiac
#

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

short glen
#

Huh. Good to know, what would you suggest instead

reef zodiac
#

There’s a ton of options

#

MM, UC, TD3, BP2, EM2 are all pretty safe picks

short glen

Maimed Soul on Arthur was also a bad idea dsffk

marsh ore
reef zodiac

Bruh

#

TD3 > JS3

marsh ore
#

I mean because I'm so low heat it wasn't too bad

#

i was just rlly afraid of td 1-3

signal aspen

scared of td
Takes pacts that make you slow instead

marsh ore
#

But now that I actually tried td (cuz of that chart someone posted) it's rlly not that bad at td 1-2

gaunt falcon

td

#

What is that?

reef zodiac
#

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

marsh ore
#

Js was kinda fun tho

reef zodiac

Can’t agree

I absolutely despise Js

The antithesis of fun

about an 80% chance for elysium erebus gates to spawn a dire bball right on top of you. generally not worth at high heat

by playing the game

hestia is lame because it's not a shining sword

It’s also arguably the single worst 51+ heat aspect in the entire game

# leaden birch Aphrodite...

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

Breakpoints and all that
