i was so certain i was going to have to fight him when i got to him for the first time
any1 have tips for hestia?
its rlly hard ._. like shoot reload dash and repeat goes against everything i learned when i used hera bow
bc i rebinded reload to cast cuz kbm moment
are you controller or kbm
kbm
im not sure what people do for kbm sorry
tbh there's not much else to it as far as i know, just shoot, reload, dash, repeat
there's no real "combo" with hestia to begin with, all there is is just reloading and shooting
just make sure that the reload button is easy to hit, rebind if you have to
i will admit tho, i haven't used hestia that much but tbh it seems fairly straight forward
just don't get hit and get big damage lmao
whats a good build for it?
as far as i know, aphrodite attack
and then everything else is just whatever you want i guess lmao, your main source of damage is just gonna be the attack
artemis attack plus apro special and going for duo seems alr but crits seem inconsistent at times
oh yeah aphro attack gives a lot of %
i should run that\
someone correct me if im wrong, but i remember someone saying that artemis attack isn't great because it has a low damage modifier and doesn't scale well with poms
and yeah sure, the crits are great, but also it's a bit overkill
when instead it'd be better to just deal consistent big damage
if you want crits, you can take pressure points from artemis to help but i dont think it should be on your main attack
Why 1 shot 15% of the time when you can 2 shot 100% of the time
pretty much yeah
yep
I wonder if I should go for beo flood flare or passion flare
I’ve always used passion flare
i've used passion flare before switching to flood flare, and i like flood flare better
granted, trying to get mirage shot is a bit of a pain, but flood flare covers more area iirc
this makes sense
and also if you have charged shot, flood flare doesn't get stuck in a wall but passion flare does
Yeah it really does
Wait really?
I always try to run cshot ok ty for telling me that
Flood flare has bigger aoe and can hit through walls
like, it hits a wall and the burst of the flare just goes into the wall
Passion can't
So just wallhax but with explosives
And it’s water
I’ll take flood flare next time and probably Artemis on attack or something
yeah that's the idea
Man I’m imagining pressure points and a double flood flare
pump all the poms into cast basically and get mirage shot
Pressure procs on both flares for mirage would be crazy
if you can, maybe get the 2 extra casts from arty
Fully loaded?
You can't
oh can you not
Wat
So you just need crazy rng
fair
Yeah
but if you keep running into arty then like might as well at that point
i almost never get mirage shot with passive flare but always get it with flood flare
I’d take pom over arty with a cast build ngl
so i just run flood everytime
That's why people use flood
Unless I don’t have an Artemis boon, or am shooting for a mirage
Yeah you’d need 3 different god
S
yeah and then after u get the 3 boons u need another god and then u need to get the duo
its just too much luck
to be consistent
So you’d have sweet nectar (sweet nectar could actually be the dio aphro one idk), heart rend and mirage
Thus lowering the chances of the right duo
Aka mirage
Wait what’s the Poseidon/Aphrodite duo called again
It’s sweet nectar right
Sweet nectar
Aha my brain isn’t damaged
Not yet
Not yet

Just a couple hundred more hours in hades and cs

Then I’ll be rolling with the terminal dumbass condition
Hell yeah
what a way to go
Hell yeah
Permanently disables basic decision making and logic
Need 3 more diamonds and I can start farming gemstones
I want my house to be dripped out
wait whats rhe base dmg of maxed hesita rail
i see 150 in some places but i saw a clip of ppl consistently doing 300
boonless
150
shackle adds dmg
maybe im just dumb
o
yeah shackle
wait no
not shackle
its fiery + high confidence
either way im dumb
hyper sprint epic rush delivery is stupid op on hestia lmao
just a flat out 100% dmg increase
You did well. All Nectar and Ambrosia is for Lady Aphrodite after all. https://twitter.com/dianaii__/status/1336090118218801153
just unlocked the hidden shield aspect
is there something about it that I should know
Dash strike to start bullrushes/cshots
And just focus on your cast
Mirage shot is bugged so it deals 100% damage instead of the 30% that the tooltip says so it’s a good boon to aim for
Only for flares
a
So sad... I have the mission of defeating Hades with the cosmic egg or however is called the Chaos relic in english... And I just got the final ending so I didnt fight Hades and I didnt get the 3 diamomd reward :C
And I mean, since I completed my first run I have a 10 win streak but... I wanted to keep reading the lore and interactions of Chaos
Anyways, hi people
I never talk on this server but I am loving Hades
Anyways...
Was so cool because the credits song (In the blood) is the song that made me know Hades and I have been listening to it almost everyday

Thank you Nyaanyaa! 
np
hiii, glad youre enjoying the game as all of us do
exactly what it means
weird stuff like that happens all the time
maybe a restart is in order
it just doesnt open
it did not...
now that is weird
never heard of a phantom instance of an application persisting after a restart
im playing thru the pc gamepass so maybe thats that
maybe a uninstall-reinstall, if things are that strange though I would suggest an internet search using your contexts
like "pc gamepass [game] already running"
you rebooted the machine and its still running? lol. how is that even possible
There is also #h1-tech-support
no i rebooted then tried to launch
Love Shotgun build
check here : https://www.leereamsnyder.com/blog/hades-build-guide#lots-of-aphrodite @austere loom
Nice thanks
aphrodite with artemis have carried few of my runs with heart rend duo. aphrodite call is also generally nice. you can rarely go wrong with her imo, can easily fit in a lot of builds. high percentage attack/special boost, seems to work well with slower weapons in general.
what is LC?
Lasting Consequences
how do i unlock it?
oh i'm gonna assume its one of those deal thingies
like that you start at the entrance to tartarus
its a heat option
oh okay thanks :)
rq whats dark foresight
i think its a mirror upgrade but idk what it does
it gives you 20% extra chance to see gold rewards
like poms, coins, boons and health
you should absolutely take it
Im just meming
should i fight charon in my runs?
Depends
in tartarus probably not
if ur strongish in asphodel then winning can be huge
by elysian usually
Is fun
do it
what should i go for next?
huh
Charon is a decently difficult fight only because you don't fight him often so you don't really memorize his attack pattern easily
so should i fight him more to memorize his attack pattern?
And the earlier in the run you see him the harder he is because you don't have many good boons yet
yea
but u probably won’t walk out for a couple of tries
Expect to die a lot in the process tho if it's in Tartarus lol
where can i send media?
Unless you play something that doesnt care that much about boons 
True
Post img somewhere else then copy img link
Embeds are fine
i have maxed everything besides god's pride and fated persuasion, should i grind for fated or go for gods pride
Is fated persuasion the one where you reroll doors or boons
Boons
Id do that one then
thats 100% true lol 😂 i like it that they made him respectable.
finally, all aspects unlocked
hidden aspects anyway
the fist one seems interesting, couldn't be worse than the spear's or sword's
Actually it is
really? huh
The Fists hidden aspect is arguably the worst aspect in the entire game 
The damage output is very low and the extra dashes have longer recovery and are also shorter
huh, never saw that
ah well
the shield hidden aspect is pretty good
albeit kinda slow
Yea it is very good
3 out of 6 hidden aspects reached the surface
the sword is too slow for my liking
and the spear's main drawback sounds too tough
Not as intuitive to use and it punishes whiffing your casts quite a bit so most people find it slow
But it's the fastest shield and a top speedrunning weapon
Trippy Flare is best used with Stygian
oh, does the crystal regenerate while loaded?
No
ah, speed and reliability then
With Infernal Trippy stays in the ground for too long
I see now, same reasoning for Hera bow?
With Trippy Flare yes
so for crush shot, the usual is better?
Infernal for Crush Shot yea
the problem with some of these strategies is that you are using stugian soul which basically requires specific casts. if rng lets you get one that lodges , stygian soul is wasted. thats one part of the mirror i dont like, cause it doesnt really really support pure rng runs. roguelikes are supposed to be rng in their heart.
Keepsakes exist
If you're playing with Trippy Flare and you're not starting with that there's a big issue already
sure but you are doing the same thing, forcing runs to be specific builds. you dont know when you will get the flare or not. thats the gist of a roguelike. you adapt to what is offered. the god keepsakes make the same thing ruining this. but thankfully all of that is optional. but you get my point.
Well you have to adapt to a lot of things even when using keepsakes
There is a ton of rng in runs and keepsakes don't ruin that, they're used to get strong combos consistently to win, if you refrain from using keepsakes at all chances are you eventually have no clue where your damage is coming from and you're just winging it with whatever at that point, it takes a lot of experience to understand how builds and damage work
you know
for the sake of it, I'm just gonna try the hidden fist aspect
no point not to
It's good to try everything in the game
also the super soaker build is stupid but pretty good
it's like powerwashing the chambers clean
although it is kinda weak until you get the sea storm
The damage can be okay depending on what you get but it's average at best compared to some other builds
It's a meme build
one of us. one of us. one of us.
join the gilgamesh gang
a lot of the hidden aspects seem to nerf the attack speed
I think only the gun doesn't
yeah they're supposed to be slower but stronger
the gun does too but it's just the startup
can i still reload if i take delta chamber
I can excuse the bow's though
you doing hestia? yes
it's busted
how fast should I clear the chamber for Hermes' keepsake?
i understood it wrong
don't think I saw the time
it doesnt give dmg
little timer below keepsake
There is a timer under the keepsake
on the hud
It changes with biome depth and in boss rooms
for gilgamesh, default dash or the green one?
assumed so
I like the boost even with less chances
and gil already gives extra chances
you still have three dashes and you'll need to proc it a lot to do any damage at all with it
yes
me is the best
divine strike is safe (deadly reversal is good), tidal/blade dash only is fun, smair is good as always, gilga has options
honestly,I got annoyed when Asterius only commented on the fists and didn't give the phrase
none of those options are very good, mind you, but still options
surprised he did so after I went to him on the next run with Beowulf
oh yeah and drunken strike works well for a hangover build
hoh, interesting
take the standard dio duos, with ares, artemis, and aphro
you either get "catch" or "perfect catch"
catch (iirc) has 50/50 odds to be common or rare, while perfect catch has 50/50 odds to be rare or legendary
and perfect catch is determined by timing
hmm, so I assume I need to reel em in as soon as I hear the ring
yeah
covering the bait with my finger is useful, only focus on the white flash
You need the mention of fists before asterius can give the phrase so makes sense
ayp
ayo
i just got a hermes boon with the lambent plume maxed
and it didnt unlock the thing
like
his favor
if you got other new dialogue (indicated by two beats when you pick up the boon) maybe that took priority
just try again
no i told him to stfu when he asked me
does that block me from it?
no idea
if you only told him once he will eventually chime in again asking if you want him to speak again, and youll have the opportunity to tell him that you do
i dont know anyone that actually muted hermes, not even speedrunners, lol
i only started skipping text a long time after it started repeating itself, so idk
also a lot of stuff is obtained through text, like the other side of the mirror and the codex for example, so its important to talk to characters even if you skip
hi, inside keepsakes how can I unlock the hearths below?
Anyone know if turning invisible is suppose to happen on the final hit attack combo of the Guan Yu aspect?
the big boxes that are locked at the very bottom are unlocked by advancing your relationship with meg, thanatos, achilles, sisyphus, and dusa
you have to use the ambrosia to do that
late/post game stuff
I got charged shot at the start of the run 
Mirage shot in asphodel

I have just unlocked EM4, and using it this run
this will be intersting!!!
I did the heroes without losing acorn, for (i think) the first time! 
i talk to everyone just dont read the text
Very nice
why is there a gun in a game based on greek mythology
I do like how they hint though as to humans getting it and copying it to make our guns
Blew one of my friends who doesn't play this with that
'I'm gonna go kill rats with a automatic machine gun and rocket launcher'
'Oh you playing fallout?'
'Nope still Hades'
'What'
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/520429929721233464/638787756537020427/rail.png
this is about the gun from an old newsletter
open it to read
chicken gun
is artemis or aphro better for rail special?
artemis (at least for eris)
coolio
Hades has some dialogue after you fight EM4 where he talks about having 'forgotten his old strength' in response to Zagreus asking him if he'd been holding back before. Does anyone have a video of it? My search-fu is failing me. :(
yo i just talked with hades
and he gave me some administrative access?
something with summons?
You can use your companions that work under hades on his fight now
(Than/Meg/Dusa/Achilles-Pat)
a idea just popped into my head, what if we could challenge the gods like fight zeus, ares, aphrodite, etc. ofc this will be done on the surface and probably be dlc where you can somehow survive the earth and not die but its a interesting concept. Imagine fighting a god with their own powers, yes it can be done if you look at trial of the gods
hey how much is the time reduction for charm on bosses?
1/3rd of normal duration
ty
hey guys which boons/hammers don't go with each other because ik some don't
like
hazard bomb and rocket bomb?
i feel like ive been getting alecto a lot recently
what keepsake should i go
hestia rail, have athena dash and aphro attack going into 2nd biome
32 heat
uh prob athena keepsake for chance at athena dds
make sure you use sd before picking up athena boon
make sure you use sd before picking up athena boon
im not using sd ._.
welps too late
im in styx tho
and its my first 32 heat run ever
holy i got the 2 sac
holy
i did it
with 1 second to sparw
when i first read this i thought you were @lethal island
same penguin pfp
but yes it works against final boss
and the animation is cool
i just had it for trying to get fated list done
and the final boss just shattered in front of my eyes
"reap what you sow"
somehow i passed the bone hydra and got through elysium and was halfway through the final boss' healthbar in this 13th run
it's hour long runs
how do i give ambrosia to meg? ive maxed the nectar alrdy
you'll be able to give meg ambrosia after the credits roll
once that happens, i think you just have to find her in the lounge or something
oh oops lol
yeah definitely not after credits. just beat the story a while ago and i cant even interact with her
From my experience, you dont need to worry about dialogues that much
Because they just come up as you play anyways 
I just do another run if i dont seem to get one
You got to the heroes in your 13th run?

Does the 40% attack and movement speed pact apply to bosses as well?
I found myself having a way harder time with the heroes after using them 
managed to clear using Arthur and Gilgamesh
pretty fun once I got used to the rhythm
man Gates of Erebus seem intimidating
finishing the game is one thing
but not getting hit?
also getting the perfect catch is tough
there are some tricks to getting perfect catches, fish come in patterns
you can also listen for the sound instead of looking at the screen
also erebus is tougher the more you advance, so in tartarus its pretty easy but in elysium it wouldnt be worth taking especially with how much heat you need active to be able to enter
nah i'm talking ||hades||
i burned through heroes
honestly elysium was a bit of a joke compared to asphodel
Ohh, okay
You dont have to spoiler anything by the way, good for you to do though
You mean it was easier or harder?
easier

i got to the hades boss fight in like 4 hours of playtime, is that good or just normal, granted i had a VERY good run (lifesteal and a LOT of good boons)
That's probably above average
is it weird that meg was probably the hard boss for me?
Well all of the bosses are kinda hard when you're still new and learning their movesets
might just be because the only time I got to the other bosses other then meg was when I had completely broken boons
Lifesteal?
You unlocked Guan yu in 4 hours of playtime? 
good for you
why does everyone get their first win with cursed slash
I got my first win with the spear 
It's just brainded
Tanking hit more easy thab learning to dodge the first times
Does the Empowering Flight hammer buff even work on Zeus' shield's Blitz Disc?
It works for the first hit
Then you have to recall then throw your Special out to get the buff again
Nice!
Maybe because you can go ham without learning movesets? 😜
I got mine with triple bomb lul
I don't remember what my first one was 🙁
Other than not from Life leech
I might have been carried by Ice wine and scintillating storm (I think it is called?)
Mine was blizzard shot lol (+ rush delivery)
Oh! Yeah, it was Blizzard Shot spam
Mine was doom special chaos shield
yooo i'm at the final boss for the first time
I was just doing this run for keys to unlock the gun so i can start upgrading aspects
zeus on zeus for me
I might be being a little ingrate, but, I want more damage 
I want to do more damage than Beowulf does!
what's the best non arthur sword aspect
Best for what exactly? They do different things.
https://www.leereamsnyder.com/blog/hades-build-guide#stygian-blade if you need ideas
The default sword isn't horrible at all
If you want more crit chance and don't care about dash strikes as much then you can unlock Nemesis
And if you prefer casting then you unlock Poseidon
I am very much a dash enjoyer
dodge roll mechanics are some of the most fun mechanics in gaming, in my opinion
You have to pump the default aspect up to 5 for Skelly's request anyway
Which duo boon should i go for on achilles?
Hunting Blades
But it is 
mirage Shot
I got heart rend 

And... I do almost no damage compared to Beowulf
Now i realise again, what an overpowered weapon feels like compared to a normal one

@gray apex Can you please tell me the build(s) for Rama? 
Do you just want to know what to look for in general or are you trying to speedrun or push heat
Speedrun i guess 
I got Sweet Nectar in the first mini boss of Tartarus.. God's Legacy is pretty good for duo boons 
Last time i got Mirage Shot in Tartarus as well, but i failed the run

The general strat for speedrunning Rama is starting with Zeus Special, it helps you deal with small enemies especially when grouped up, and Rama boonless attack is good enough for most of Tartarus especially with a good hammer, you're looking for Twin Shot or Triple Shot ideally as your first hammer, if none are offered you want Perfect Shot or Point-Blank Shot, you also want to start shaping up your god pool and getting some scaling, a non Common Aphro attack is very good and consistent damage output, always a good pick, Artemis is a good one too but personally if I see an Artemis I would try to get her Dash first as there arent a lot of good dashes specifically for Rama, Artemis is the best in slot here, if you see more Zeus you can go for Jolted/Double strike, Hermes for +Dashes or hyper delivery, Chaos can add some massive scaling to your attack/dash strike, which is quite good for bossing, another amazing combo you should try to look for and even force is Poseidon's Cast + Breaking Wave, known as the Styx shredder, Rama has a relatively slow charging attack and the Special isnt strong enough to one shot beefy styx enemies so you go for that combo, Breaking Wave creates a lot of wall slams due to the small styx rooms and makes enemies melt so you're pretty much entering the room, casting 3 or more times and everything vanishes without you having to use your attack or special
Rama is not straight forward to speedrun, it has some decent bossing but it's not too intuitive when it comes to clearing rooms quickly and efficiently so I recommend you watch some vods
Also worth using FO1 at first to get a feel for the timing and to not get hit as much since that's very punishing on Rama
And if it's not clear, always prioritize your second hammer, it's an important breakpoint for Rama, Perfect Point Blank are what you're looking for assuming you for Triple or Twin on the first, Twin Perfect is ideal and Triple Point Blank is ideal but either way it works because powershotting is what you should be doing when you have a good opening on a boss
With Triple you're more likely to be in range to make use of the shotgunning but you're also in a riskier spot so you let go of the attack more often without it being a powershot, which in would benefit from pointblank but not from perfect, and with Twin you're usually safe and comfy and have a bit of range so you cant always make use of Point blank unless you're actively aware of it
I.. have a common aprhodite attack
I need to copy paste this somewhere... 
Done!
Thanks alot for the help and information!! 
Common Aphrodite attack is okay, it's just that the difference in rarity is big on it, like a lv5 common is equal to a lv1 epic, if you see a random Aphro in the pool just take her but dont expect a ton imo, roll once if you feel like it but the reason I take her a lot of the time is to put her in the pool so she gets offered often and you pray that you see her from a miniboss and have your cores filled so you get a Rare+ attack without rolling
And if things dont work out just Shackle
It's 100%
And if you get more Artemis after you pick up Dash and your attack slot is still open just take it
Then look for Mark PP
It's the next best one, and scales better with big chaos because of crits
dude i have 6 casts with crush shot rn
hera?
poseidon if u wre asking me
Hello there. Sorry but i can't find bug report section. Where i can post bugs?
That's pretty good too
The Bug Report function in-game has been removed a few updates ago, you can check in #h1-tech-fixes to see if it's commonly known and has a fix, or ask in #h1-tech-support if it's not, and if the folks there also can't help you can forward it to SGG through their support email
It is not really affecting gameplay, just some visual bugs. Thanks
Hades
Ah
is the healing from patroclus effected by the lasting consequences heat
the hydrolite? yeah
Great game
😔 lost a 32 heat run due to time with hades very last phase with 1/4 hp left
if stupid witch rooms in tartarus didnt take a min each i would have gotten it
used all 5 mins in tartarus 😩
hi there i just got the ending as far as i know of the game but im pretty sure theres another one, how would i unlock the last ending?
how many wins do you have?
i'm assuming 10 if you're asking i guess
to get the last ending, i'm pretty sure you need to get 3 stars on all the olympian god keepsakes
and then after that, you get some special dialogue and have to talk to all of the olympian gods again
whats the next like major heat level after 32
i feel like im consistent with 32 enough to do harder heats
but idk where to go
preferably smth nah too much harder
i think 40 is the next major one? but I’d go like 35 and then 37 before that (not a heat player though dont take my word for anything)
hm alr thanks
Heat bad
Says the 62 heat runner who got to ely on 64
I wonder what sort of hell 64 would be
Oops
RI4 em4 with all those modifiers would be hell
I wonder if someone’s done it with a tas
Baj did it routed
There is no TAS for Hades, atleast not developed enough to play full runs
32, 40, 45, 50 probably
But it’s all super arbitrary ngl
Just run whatever heat you enjoy/are comfortable with/want to challenge yourself with
TAS?
How about a basic slomo mod
/want to rip your own hair out because of
Apparently cp2 em4 is used to measure the precise time for a year
Yeah don’t do that
Don’t do CP2 EM4 until at least 52 heat
Genuinely
Turns out 85,800hp is a lot of hp
I lost with rama yesterday
What i learnt from that was.. Never picking explosive shot on Rama 
hi pancake
It took like 3,5 seconds to power shot, even with the hammer that speeds up power shots and an attack speed boon from hermes 
Even though it did 1000+ damage
My experience with EM4 generally is something like this:
-Yeah it can't be that bad, right?
a few minutes later
- I'm sorry my winstreak

I won my first EM4 fight with dad
I think the hard part is how he makes the screen go dark
And dad spamming boiling blood 
EM4 is honestly pretty bad imo
Obviously it’s hard
But I also just think it’s extremely poorly designed and imbalanced
Hey Bird!
Yeah you can’t power shot with explosive Rama lmao
You just can’t
Also, there is something i dont understand with bow in general 
When i charge it up, it does more damage when i release it without charging it full and waiting a bit
Theres this thing that shines while im charging, and when i release it at a certain point it does more damage
Is that a bug or a mechanic?
no
Ohh
When it shines and has a different sound when you release it
Power shot is the thing that requires timing
You should (almost) always go for power shots
You should also dash strike to make those charge quicker
Always dash strike, almost always power shot
Dont they do less damage when you dash?
A little bit
Yes but it’s way faster
But they can scale better
Like so so much faster
Yea the actual dps is higher

And you can let them off more often as opposed to being interrupted mid way through a standing powershot
Not only is the dps higher, but it gives you more control, maneuverability, and benefits from *dash strike bonuses
Yeah and they’re way easier to get away with
I understand, thanks! 
Especially on Rama
1 more thing, do those get affected by dash strike boons?
Yes

That's why they scale better

You can get attack buffs and dash strikes buffs both of which will help your damage
yeah esp the fact that it summons minibosses instead of normal enemies
If you only do standing strikes then Dash strike bonuses dont do anything for you
thats really rough
This is an incredibly terrible mechanic, yes
Yes!! I saw that yesterday!
Its so weird
its been a while since i did em4 but thats the most standout thing about the fight that i disliked
Yeah EM4 can be fun casually but for challenging runs it super sucks
em4+Hl5+FO2+HS+whatever other pact option makes it so much harder
that sounds like hell
But on some weapons it’s more manageable than others
stuff like shield i guess?
It’s the only weapon I seem to be decent with at high heat 
Although I have been on break from high heat since I’ve been grinding Fresh File Hades
Just been spending hours and hours on the Hades fight
I haven’t opened my normal files in a full week now 
ah I see
monodash zag sword 
After putting many hours into FF Hades fight
It’s honestly an incredible bossfight
It almost feels like the fight was designed for mono-dash ME sword lmao
It’s like perfect
It was frustrating for a while before I started to get it though
And it’s still very unforgiving
It is pretty good
Watching pros do that fight flawlessly like Nitro or Vorime is just crazy satisfying
how do you unlock non hidden aspects?
And I didn’t quite realize how good the fight really was
Wym
Just spend titan blood to buy them? Or do you mean how to unlock the ability to view aspects?
Buy base weapons using keys then do a run to refresh the house seed
They should show up
when does the unseen ones soundtrack play?
EM4 hades
is there a chance for the normal soundtrack to play there
?
last time i did em4 and reached hades
it was the usual soundtrack
What phase did you get to
2nd
Keep playing
Third phase is when it starts
Been a while since I listened to that
That big relief when the music stops and you win is pretty gud 
Nowadays I just have some calm music going in the background and no nerves at all 
Also, what does seeded exactly mean?
Seeded means you have prior knowledge of the run
so this whole time i was losing to EM4 because the music is too intense, not because im bad at the game
It could be anywhere from knowing just what the first chamber reward is to having a full route through the whole thing
Definitely

I mean I think the music is a big part of it
But if I’m playing like Beowulf I don’t care either way 
No
They initiate it with a dash strike
And Charged Shot is a big deal
You can watch Cgull’s youtube vid about routes and how seeds and rng work 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...
what’s the best random occurrence that could happen?
wait, you can skip biomes?
sort of
depends, have you beaten 55 heat?
smh 

Gettings lot of free rooms and in the right places, pretty much.
And also when you do get an encounter, it's in a room that's quick and with enemy types that both die fast and have a high difficulty rating (because the game spawns fewer of them).

Thank you Nyaanyaa! 
I'm gonna do extreme measures 4 with rama
running 32 heat rama with aphro attack and twin shot, first hermes is offering epic quick recovery and epic swift strike
thoughts?
whats the third option
garbage common auto reload lol
how many rolls do you have
4 but I really don't wanna roll here
i would
surely epic swift strike is good enough
oh so doesn't improve speed of charge?
bruh
which you shouldnt be using
I'm just gonna take quick recovery since rare carried my 40 heat beowulf
yeah I’d just roll
damn everyone thinks I should roll
quick recovery bad
I am down 1 dd in asphodel so idk
reroll for dashes or even dodge?
why are you using dds
I don't like pat rng tbh and it's only 32 heat

I've been using dd for all my 32 heats, only swapped to sd for 40
alright guess I'll roll
epic greater haste, common +1 dash, common side hustle
dash
I like your pfp
thanks
:victory:
fancy seeing you here smh
sorry for all the questions but I'm too unfamiliar with rama
second hammer after twin shot, perfect vs chain vs explosive
Perfect
explosive
lol same

take hyper sprint
wdym
I'm not used to being at 10 hp down a dd in elysium
even at 32 heat
keep taking dumb hits
well I got divine dash
You are dash striking instead of normal attacks right?
I just go super sayan dragon balls
What special do you have
ares
I always liked dio special
eh I took owl for asphodel
Can get numbing sensation which helps you not die
that's why had to pick up ares
nvm I got curse of longing, now it's gg
had to purge it, run over :(
Its never over
it's impossible to win without the best duo in the game curse of longing
god I'm a mess with rama
but two sacked so whatever
athena cast, call, or sure footing?
that was my instinct
grabbed double pom from styx that targeted athena call so we good
I don't know how to use this aspect
bet
what's considered optimal 32+ heat rama build? I just went aphro attack athena dash like a chump with god's pride
is it maybe heart rend idk
Nah
I have life steal
Probably high rarity pommed aphro attack, hunter dash
Gg ez
sounds decent
a little more than decent
although I would've been dead entering elysium without divine dash so idk
You can comfortably do dc2 on Rama
Yeah oops
tbh I almost feel even then that FF is better
if you get charged shot you kinda need curse on attack to keep PS up
then you might not even get snow burst or any good curse
Guys help I’ve gotten 6 Zeus boons and only 2 others how is this happening
although that was just my 40 heat passion flare experience
lol lucky
tartarus splitting bolt??
Oh man I wish I knew what you meant by that
aka getting zeus legendary by the end of first floor
which is basically gg on anything that isn't awful with zeus
eh if you've gotten six zeus already you either got his legendary already or his pool is so exhausted you'll get it soon
I hope so
Or I just never get a Zeus boon again
With my luck it’s probably that one
Oh
Holy heck
I got a Poseidon boon
Is this sweet release???
chaos shield is the best shield aspect
LMAO
huh how come I wasn't censored for bad language

Idk but yeah this isn’t sweet release there’s an Athena Zeus duo room
true
sus
I contest the last point
Multiplicative shield special damage 👍
the special damage is so good
i think its like 50 per shield
im surprised it didnt get nerfed in the 1.0 release
wait are you actually an olympian favor user
yes no
whew
it would be kinda funny if i beat 50 heat or got sub 7 with olympian favor tho
Wait who was it that got sub 6 hera recently with Olympian favour
Still got like level 9 cast tho
must've gotten god nectar rng smh
level 5 heroic titan toppler
Titans = Toppled

was it a crop or eury bless
Wish me luck
Last boss whit life steal and i have 105hp :v
Welp nvm
Its called script
Sorry but being hit by litterrally 50
And even whit no debuff and buff that reduc ennemy dmg near
I think that was the game did not want me to win
It’s possible to be hit for 155
Whit debuff ect
But its the game that dint want you to win cuz you not even there yet
Generally boss would be more easy and hit you less dmg
cursed slash?
Is your style to die to Hades?
Because it sounds like that’s what just happened because of the hammer 
well you're getting hit for 50 and you probably have like 100 hp
Its beatable whit life steal
Be better at dodging .-.
problem with sword lifesteal is that you don't even have a good safe damager
unlike guan yu
I do have sum dmg
but presumably it's all melee
cursed slash is probably my pick for worst hammer tbh
that or flaring spin/repulse shot
I like playing around AA
Main thing for me is that cursed slash doesnt apply on dash strikes
cruel thrust and hoarding slash is dumpster tier too
Well you mix the shock weave thing + return dmg on aa and whit sum life steal and u good togo
I wish
Flurry slash is unfortunately worse
- the one that you hold click to aa
oh wait really
Yeah
U just be like hulalalaa
It stops you from being able to empty dash after a dash strike
Basically steals your i-frames
I only experienced it with nemesis and divine dash so missed that
What good whit aa
idk depends on aspect
Aspect?
weapon aspect
Wich one can have most value out of it .-.
if you wanna use standing attacks then arthur
What’s that
Never play league of legend i see
You mean just basic sword combo?
Anyway
Yes
Yes because I value my sanity and happiness 
arthur is the only sword that should use attack combo
Arthur?
Hidden sword aspect
Only have the 4start one
For every other sword your combo should be special -> dash strike -> dash strike
Definitely
at least it's not zag sword lol
I still don’t get why Hestia isn’t as popular among new players as Arthur and Chiron are
simple: you need to reload
I only have the 4 start one rn .-.
gun can feel weird to use for new players i guess
Hestia is hard to use efficiently
But 400 damage power shots
Also i dont think i will ever do heat
Too many buttons
But it’s not like they’re using Arthur efficiently
also people hate gun not staggering
i still dont really get how to use efficientlly, but i havent really used it much anyways
Big sword fun
that's why new players are fist addicted
Its get harder but you dont even get harder yurself its not that good
They could just reload -> attack -> repeat and would win at low heat with very little effort
true
That’s basically what I did with Chiron except Chiron is less safe, less range, less damage
I remember seeing so many posts about how insane butterfly achievement
Guess i stay whit the sword till then?
picked up hestia, turned on high confidence, left tartarus with 24/30% on butterfly
it's op tbh
Wait that’s impossible
.-.
Is it? I think even if you skip shop and story rooms and chaos and get no fountains then it’s like 13 combats? Yeah ok I guess it’s possible
no midshop, forced fountain, erebus last chamber
Counting Meg
Oh yeah erebus extension too
yep hitless on fury
But yeah Hestia is stupid broken for hitless
Guess i stay whit the sword till i unlock the other weap?
I'm considering trying full hitless on it
I thought it was just the best option but it turns out that hitless on Hestia is way way easier than anything else
Definitely do it! It’s actually very fun
do you run standard hestia or butterfly?
I don’t use butterfly
whew good
