quartz crow
#

even if i don't have it?

shadow oriole
#

yes

#

you just need to unlock it and then keys will give fated authority

quartz crow
#

it's unlocked and swappable but there are no points spent on either of em

#

plus the boon one is 1k

robust gate
#

So if you bought the key upgrade you leave it at the one you want and you'll be able to get fated authority/persuasion that way

quartz crow
#

guess i can test

#

it just showed up after picking up a boon even without having any on hand

cunning urchin
#

What are good reasons to not go for a Hermes chamber?

lament coral
#

a hammer or a dual god room

#

or an NPC room

#

taking Erebus is also always a risk

quartz crow
#

i swear tisopheny is the easiest boss

cunning urchin
#

Dual God, yeah for sure. I find Hammer vs Hermes to be pretty close.

robust gate
#

Really depends on how your build is looking

lament coral
#

really depends on the aspect

#

for example, with Chaos shield, I would take Hermes every time

#

same with Poseidon sword

#

but something like Guan Yu or any fist, I'd take hammer over Hermes, always

robust gate
#

Erebus seems too risky in elysium, maybe asphodel too

lament coral
#

it's risky with anything melee

cunning urchin
#

Are there times when you would get a single Boon from another God over Hermes?

lament coral
#

it's all situational

#

like if you're low on HP and see Demeter, you could take her and hope for Nourished Soul

#

same with Athena and DDs

#

Hermes won't help ya if you're dead

cunning urchin
#

Hmm. Beyond those two though?

robust gate
#

If you're looking for a legendary or duo boon and it's the god you're looking for I guess

tired elk
#

Special doesn't even seem that good now that I have seen the fist and the bow

#

jesus

quartz crow
#

2 bugs? 1. i don't have the aspect that empowers first shot after reload for the gun yet every encountor or equip of the weapon i see a purple shot after first reload for one shot

cunning urchin
#

I see. Thank you! Very insightful.

quartz crow
#
  1. the motar seems to have aim assist sometimes which can be annoying
tired elk
#

Yea if I were to use the gun I would have to use M&K if it has auto aim ;__;

robust gate
#

Didn't know you could get bad news and greater recall

spring mauve
#

you have to have neither infernal soul nor stygian soul

#

and you need to get bad news before greater recall

#

possible if you never used the mirror or you have a high enough routine inspection

quartz crow
#

i hate thanatos

#

makes me think of kill stealing

dense locust
#

There are a number of builds where if you've already got the hammer you really wanted, the second is nearly useless

quartz crow
#

so then the recharge cast is bad?

#

i mean ill try DD but when i started a few days ago or so i only had one DD so stubborn was better

lament coral
#

@spring mauve that is incorrect. You just need Abyssal Soul for Bad News to show up

spring mauve
#

false as I just tested it

robust gate
#

Once you get 3 dds beating the game gets a lot easier

spring mauve
#

so, whatever I said is true no matter what

quartz crow
#

thanatos shouldn't oneshot armored enemies

cunning urchin
#

I'm not a fan of Stygian Soul.

spring mauve
#

@lament coral I just tested it, I know it's true

quartz crow
#

i like the darkness heal

#

3hp per room sounds stupid

robust gate
#

Not when you're in Styx

cunning urchin
#

I think Thanatos is great at telling if your build is lacking in DPS.

spring mauve
#

you can even predict this behaviour @lament coral if you read TraitData.lua

#

that's why I did this test because I was figuring out what that all meant

quartz crow
#

yah but oneshotting armor is not fair

#

you can't one shot armor can you?

lament coral
#
  • Bad News (Hermes): new! Deal bonus Cast damage to foes without Cast ammo in them (if you have a certain Mirror talent)
  • Greater Recall (Hermes): now requires first having one of Hermes' Cast-affecting Boons
spring mauve
#

dev news vs the actual code hmm

cunning urchin
#

I like 3 HP per room more actually, it's rare that I need burst healing so a lot of that from Dark Regeneration goes to waste.

spring mauve
#

Wait... you're not even contradicting me

quartz crow
#

if you take a hit there goes your 3 hp

lament coral
#
    {
        InheritFrom = { "ShopTier3Trait" },
        RequiredFalseTrait = "MagnetismTrait",
        RequiredInactiveMetaUpgrade = "AmmoMetaUpgrade",```
quartz crow
#

have you seen darkness heal plus chaos? it's silly

dense locust
#

Is it possible only if you've never used the mirror or have high enough routine inspection, or despite having never used the mirror or having high enough routine inspection

spring mauve
#

yes exactly ZeppMan

#

that proves my point

#

MagnetismTrait doesn't require UnstoredAmmoDamageTrait false

#

this is probably a bug

#

but it's in the game nevertheless

#
    MagnetismTrait =
    {
        InheritFrom = { "ShopTier3Trait" },
        RequiredFalseTrait = "MagnetismTrait",
        RequiredInactiveMetaUpgrade = "ReloadAmmoMetaUpgrade",
        Icon = "Boon_Hermes_11",
#

so if BOTH "ReloadAmmoMetaUpgrade" and "AmmoMetaUpgrade" are inactive

#

and you FIRST get UnstoredAmmoDamageTrait

#

you can THEN get MagnetismTrait

#

that's EXACTLY what I said

lament coral
#

hm, weird

naive tusk
#

And believe it or not, it works like that

#

But it's a very unlikely scenario under normal circumstances

lament coral
#

@naive tusk so it is bugged?

spring mauve
#

now I have no idea what the gameplay ramifications are of having both at once

naive tusk
#

I wouldn't say it's a bug. More like dusting requirements and prohibitions under a rug because it's almost impossible to get both Legendaries under normal circumstances

spring mauve
#

I died extremely quickly cus I was testing on 41 heat

#

I can try again with just Routine Inspection

naive tusk
#

Normal circumstances being meeting Hermes more than 2-3 times

cunning urchin
#

The only times I tend to need burst healing are after bosses, and there's always a well anyway that takes care of that. So I tend to get more healing in total from 3HP Chthonic Vitality than Dark Regeneration. I think it's great when you need it, but overall I like Chthonic Vitality more.

lament coral
#

um, 3 times is normal

spring mauve
#

they said more

lament coral
#

2-3

spring mauve
#

more than 2-3 times

#

it is possible though if you get lucky on shops and fated authority

#

thing is

#

you can't fated authority with routine inspection

naive tusk
#

What I meant is, it's possible to get both Legendaries if you meet Hermes many times and meeting the criteria

#

That @spring mauve just said

dense locust
#

I don't think its a bug unless I'm misunderstanding the patch notes vs the possible boon combination, but either way, I think the likelihood of getting both is so rare that most players will never experience it in their entire Hades careers, and will likely be fixed up so that its more in line with what the Devs intended

lament coral
#

hold on, I think we're talking about different things

dense locust
#

probably

lament coral
#

I was pointing out that you needed Abyssal Soul to get Bad News

dense locust
#

This is the FFVII remake discord right?

spring mauve
#

I had maximum routine inspection

lament coral
#

ah

naive tusk
#

But according to the files, you don't necessarily need it. You just need to avoid having its restrictions

lament coral
#

so we were all right

spring mauve
#

so yeah if you're really lucky and you play with maximum routine inspection and you have hades keepsake

#

I mean hermes

#

hermes keepsake

#

then you can get this to happen

lament coral
#

how does Hermes' keepsake help?

spring mauve
#

cus you will get him earlier

#

at least I think that's how his keepsake works

#

haven't checked

shadow oriole
#

it doesnt work like that

spring mauve
#

ah nevermind then

lament coral
#

it gives you dodge for clearing the rooms quickly

spring mauve
#

he's not like the other gods

dense locust
#

This is getting muddier

naive tusk
#

Ah no, His keepsake only gives you extra dodge, it doesn't affect his boons' appear rate

shadow oriole
#

you get 1.2% dodge and move speed for a fast room clear similar to butterfly

cunning urchin
#

If this is the FFVIIR Discord, I want to report a bug because Hermes hasn't delivered my pre-order yet. Damn you, Hermes. sniff sniff

lament coral
#

stop sniffing and start running

spring mauve
#

there is no escape

dense locust
#

You can get both legendaries for artemis if you don't have the cast mirror upgrade active? Is that the conclusion?

spring mauve
#

depends on if this oversight is in there

lament coral
#

Hermes, yes

spring mauve
#

I'll check, what are they called?

naive tusk
#

The mirror traits?

spring mauve
#

no, the artemis legendaries

naive tusk
#

Infernal Soul and Stygian Soul

#

Fully Loaded

lament coral
#

Artemis has only 1 legendary

naive tusk
#

And she only has 1 legendary

spring mauve
#

So then what waas the point of the question? XD

dense locust
#

Sorry yes I meant hermes

spring mauve
#

yes indeed

#

I showed a screenshot earlier

dense locust
#

And you also stated that conclusion a while ago

spring mauve
#

now, I didn't get that in normal play, I spawned hermes' room reward a bunch of times and then just picked the ones in the right order

dense locust
#

That if you either don't have the mirror trait for cast unlocked or have it disabled due to heat, it is technically possible to unlock both hermes legendaries

naive tusk
#

I actually found this about Fully Loaded

#

MoreAmmoTrait =
{
OneFromEachSet =
{
{ "ArtemisAmmoExitTrait" },
{ "ArtemisBonusProjectileTrait" },
},
},

cunning urchin
#

What's a good build for attempting Tight Deadline? I tend to take my time, so I haven't cleared with that one yet.

lament coral
#

yeah, that's correct

#

it's Dual Shot and Exit Wounds

naive tusk
#

Yep!

lament coral
#

@cunning urchin Poseidon sword

#

get Abyssal Soul and extra casts mirror talents

#

start with Artemis keepsake and get her cast

spring mauve
#

Fully Loaded has no incompatibilities with other traits or mirror upgrades, also

dense locust
#

Alright, so it is technically a bug considering the patch notes, but also probably so impossibly rare that it won't happen to a single player

spring mauve
#

I never said it was common :)

naive tusk
#

It's supposed to not appear if you have 3 specific Cast boons

dense locust
#

I know I'm just trying to clarify things

lament coral
#

still a bug though

naive tusk
#

Namely Crystal Shot, Slicing Shot or Trippy Shot

spring mauve
#

has anyone verified that

#

are those duos?

lament coral
#

no, those are casts

naive tusk
#

I think it's because Exit Wounds has the restriction

spring mauve
#

oh right

#

Ah yes

lament coral
#

Demeter, Ares, and Dio

naive tusk
#

If we look at one of those boons, it might have a false trait

spring mauve
#

indeed

#
    ArtemisAmmoExitTrait =
    {
        InheritFrom = { "ShopTier1Trait" },
        AmmoDropWeapons = { "ArtemisAmmoWeapon" },
        Icon = "Boon_Artemis_09",
        RequiredFalseTraits = { "AresRangedTrait", "DionysusRangedTrait", "DemeterRangedTrait" },
lament coral
#

yep, it's inherited from EW

spring mauve
#

exit wounds has RequiredFalseTraits

#

not inherited, it's just you wouldn't get it without EW

dense locust
#

@spring mauve I feel like based off our user names, if we paired up, we'd be unstoppable.

spring mauve
#

duo boon ^

cunning urchin
#

@lament coral Soul is HP. Do you mean Grasp for extra Casts?

tired elk
#

Gun and Bow just seem cheap AF

#

;__;

lament coral
#

@cunning urchin Abyssal Soul, the one that reduces enemy speed and damage

clear dome
#

you can get 2 defiance chaos boon in a run

spring mauve
#

that I predicted but never checked

clear dome
#

just noticed that

#

i just had that

spring mauve
#

further verifying my way of interpreting the files :)

#

good to know

lament coral
#

oh, it's called Abyssal Blood

#

my bad

dense locust
#

Yeah someone posted an anecdote about their double Chaos DDs a while ago

cunning urchin
#

Yeah, I thought you were talking about Chaos Boons lol.

#

Alright. Thanks.

lament coral
#

Abyssal Blood with Infernal Soul

spring mauve
#

I'll repost the image

#

cursed combination

#

that's the context

dense locust
#

Which can only occur if you have no mirror trait for cast due to lack of spent darkness or having it disabled through heat.

spring mauve
#

yeah

#

and you need to meet hermes an extra time over what would normally take to get just one of them

dense locust
#

You should feed-back it to them, although the probability of it actually happening might be so low that they won't care

tired elk
#

Special being faster is useless on gun huh....

lament coral
#

it's very useful

#

it hits faster, meaning you can shoot again sooner

dense locust
#

It's arguably one of the best boons for guan yu

naive tusk
#

I think that they did that knowing noone would get them casually

dense locust
#

unless you're fully invested in attack

#

yeah probably peach

#

When probabilities are in 1/10,000,000, why bother rewriting code

tired elk
#

Oh didn't think it actually made the projectile go quicker

#

didn't see like it

dense locust
#

It lets you fire off more specials

#

if you have charged skewer, it charges it faster

lament coral
#

same with charged attacks, they charge faster if you have increased attack speed

dense locust
#

Or flurry cast with ares cast; it makes the blades travel faster

#

which is very useful if you have hunting blades

shadow oriole
#

artemis has some of the best duo boons

#

she makes blade shot and crystal beam go from bad to amazing

stiff flume
#

artemis is one of the best in general tbh, crit just adds so much

#

artemis + athen/aphrodite

dense locust
#

yeah those two are my bread and butter

stiff flume
#

+a

dense locust
#

deadly reversal and heart rend are very powerful

cunning urchin
#

AAA team.

stiff flume
#

heh

dense locust
#

yep

stiff flume
amber python
#

Zeus + Demeter combo is fun plus some Athena safety lol

dense locust
#

The AAAA team is a thing, but ares works less for most of my builds

cunning urchin
#

I find Zeus difficult to work with. Although that seems to be in-character.

lament coral
#

he's best on fists and rail

stiff flume
#

zeus aspect of shield + zeus

#

works very well

#

just finished an 11 heat run with it, 17 min

#

pretty easy

#

smooth sailing

shadow oriole
#

zeus cast is pretty good with Poseidon sword

amber python
#

ive found to have easier time with the fists in general. its like pulling teeth for me with the rail and the bow

stiff flume
#

fists are the hardest weapon for me

cunning urchin
#

I did my fastest run yet with the fists. Pressing Y for the win.

stiff flume
#

y? ๐Ÿค”

lament coral
#

Athena helps a lot with fists

shadow oriole
#

special

stiff flume
#

ahhh

lament coral
#

either attack or dash, or both

stiff flume
#

i changed that to a button on the side of my mouse

cunning urchin
#

Xbox pad.

stiff flume
#

ah ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

makes sense

amber python
#

Dash strike is great especially if you can do 1000% damage to armor

tired elk
#

Any tips for defeating the final boss

#

I got him to like 5% lol

#

what is a special blast

#

wth

dense locust
#

Next level play is mapping the xbox controller buttons to keyboard

#

My tips would be keep playing and trying out new things

tired elk
#

But when I absorb a Special Blast

#

for 8 seconds I deal more damage

dense locust
#

Are you talking about eris aspect rail?

#

oh yes you are

tired elk
#

yes

dense locust
#

it means if you are in the radius of the explosion

#

then for the next 8 seconds, all sources of damage are increased by the amount it states

tired elk
#

Jesus the game just got so much harder to choose what to do now XD

dense locust
#

If you have the eris buff, there will be a red "scratchy" animation around you

tired elk
#

since bloods are kinda rare

dense locust
#

Eris rail is my number one favorite aspect so i'd say it's worth pumping

#

but i'm biased

tired elk
#

I got a rocket instead of a bomb though

dense locust
#

I like it because it increases ALL sources of damage

tired elk
#

and it was pretty insane damage

dense locust
#

okay thats good

#

thats also my favorite hammer

#

if you want to quickly apply the buff without enemies nearby

#

you can just run up to a wall and shoot a rocket at it

#

otherwise when you want to get the eris aspect buff, just make sure you rocket an enemy when you are within its explosion radius

tired elk
#

oh wait the rocket still procs it?

dense locust
#

yeaj

#

yeah

tired elk
#

hell yea

#

nice

#

I love Artemis with it

#

what do you like to do?

dense locust
#

The great thing about rocket is that it greatly increases the base damage of your special (making crits and damage increases to special a lot better) and it also makes it a lot faster and easier to hit

#

atermis

tired elk
#

The arrows it shoots XD

#

I was like omg this is kinda op

dense locust
#

The arrows its shooting might be from the boon support fire

tired elk
#

yes

#

that is what I mean lol

dense locust
#

oh i gotcha

tired elk
#

Kinda meh damage?

#

the arrows?

dense locust
#

they are, but they also proc with your attack

tired elk
#

Oh they proc the crits?

dense locust
#

no

tired elk
#

Oh yea I know what you mean

dense locust
#

any attack, special, or cast you make will shoot one arrow

tired elk
#

they proc everytime I left click

dense locust
#

yeah

#

im not a huge fan of it, but it is free damage

#

doesn't replace anything or have any drawbacks

tired elk
#

Found ||Demeter|| lol

dense locust
#

Demeter is a great boon for attack on the rail

#

because you can very easily stack 10 stacks of chill and it makes enemies very very slow

tired elk
#

Do you get the attack upgrade or the special?

#

ah probably gun

#

do the arrows proc chill?

dense locust
#

No

#

Each hit of attack does

#

My ideal load out on eris rail is artemis special, zeus or demeter attack, athena dash, athena or poseidon special

#

attack boons like zeus, demeter, and dionysus benefit from weapons that can do a lot of attacks quickly, which is pretty much just the rail and the fists

tired elk
#

What cast?

dense locust
#

some specials can also apply a lot of instances of damage as well however, so sometimes those boons can be good on special

tired elk
#

or is cast kinda pointless lol

dense locust
#

The cast usually doesn't matter much for me, and it gets kinda complicated, but if you're starting out, dinonysus cast "trippy shot" is good and can deal a lot of damage if you level it up with poms. My ideal cast would be aphrodites cast because it opens up the possibility of a getting a duo boon that makes crits much stronger, but honestly, this is stuff you don't need to worry about

#

With eris aspect rail, my cast boon is very low priority

#

HOWEVER

#

If the boons the game is giving you seem to go a certain way, don't try and force your build too much

#

Eris is great because it increases ALL sources of damage

tired elk
#

Explosive Fire
Delta Chamber
Cluster bomb

dense locust
#

Whats your attack?

#

So cluster bomb will let you shoot off 5 rockets

tired elk
#

normal attack

#

my special is deneter

#

demeter lol

dense locust
#

i mean what boon do you have on attack

#

no boon on attack?

tired elk
#

Boon means the keepsake?

dense locust
#

so on the left of your hud

tired elk
#

I have nothing special

#

for my attack

dense locust
#

id take cluster bomb

#

however

#

but honestly

#

if all of this is new to you

tired elk
#

oh that's weird lol

dense locust
#

you'll learn something new

tired elk
#

I'm not sure if I like that

dense locust
#

So rocket bomb with cluster bomb shoots off 5 rockets that aren't really controllable

tired elk
#

Not very strong ST damage

dense locust
#

but if you get close enough

#

each rocket hits

tired elk
#

yea

#

just gotta be skilled

dense locust
#

Not really, if even 2 rockets hit

#

its 140% special damage vs 100%

#

and its also better for smaller enemies

#

but like I said, the best thing to do is just keep trying new things to understand what's strong and what works for you

#

Rocket bomb does 100 base damage. Assuming you only have cluster bomb (-30% damage to special) and nothing that increases its damage , hitting 5 rockets does 350 damage instead of 100

#

Now if you get a crit and have other sources of increased damage (eris, artemis boon for special, etc), that's a lot of damage

tired elk
#

cluster bomb pretty good

#

just need to be skilled โค๏ธ

olive badge
#

what do you build with shield of chaos

dense locust
#

Doom special

#

Everything else is up to you

olive badge
#

Doom?

#

damn

dense locust
#

ares special

olive badge
#

I was thinking about Zeus

#

yeah I know it's Ares

dense locust
#

yeah my b

#

but yes

olive badge
#

but I think the long pause between each special is the reason?

dense locust
#

Artemis can work but it requires a little bit more to come online

#

yeah basically

olive badge
#

was thinking sth like Zeus so I can proc multiple lightning at once

dense locust
#

I think doom ends up doing more damage, and it requires less shields

#

less throwing of shields

#

you can back that up with something like artemis or athena attack

cunning urchin
dense locust
#

wow level 6 heroic artemis cast

lament coral
#

๐Ÿ‘

dense locust
#

Reminds me of when Schpoon (I think) posted their build that included a leveled up pressure points that gave 10% crit

olive badge
#

athena cast has higher base than Artemis cast right

dense locust
#

yeah

cunning urchin
#

Yeah, I got to level 3 or 4 Rare before I even got a second boon lol. And then Demeter showed up and was like do you also want this to be Heroic after a few chambers.

dense locust
#

mmm I love when that demeter boon shows up at time that I can actually use it, and then goes on to apply to the boons I want it to

#

quick give me a weapon and aspect for 20 heat

olive badge
#

Zag Sword

dense locust
#

okie doke ty

olive badge
#

f a s t

dense locust
#

Hey i didn't say anything about speed

#

I just wanna play some hades but dont know what to choose

tired elk
#

Hunters mark or Support Fire?

#

I like both allot but idk :/

dense locust
#

Are you still on the rail?

tired elk
#

yes

dense locust
#

Support fire, unless you are also on the artemis special with rocket bomb

#

in which case the rocket bomb will do a lot of damage to anything with hunters mark on it

tired elk
#

I only have cluster bomb

dense locust
#

Hunters mark only lasts for one hit

#

So its best for big damage hits

olive badge
#

I know but Zag Sword is

#

F A S T

dense locust
#

oh yeah? is that a challenge?

olive badge
#

I think

dense locust
#

Gonna be on for the next 3 hours?

olive badge
#

it boost to move speed and dash speed

#

try max move speed build

dense locust
#

haha i know im j/k

#

okay

#

ill try and go fast

#

in anyway i can

#

ill also try and make the enemy slow so i seem faster in comparison

#

Crap I forgot I had a very promising seed going

#

oh well who cares

#

Wow i forgot how fast zag moves with this

tired elk
#

I have the chill special and attack

#

nvm gotta learn on my own

dense locust
#

Haha really, just make choices and then decide afterwards if they were good or not

#

Once you've learned the game more, then asking questions can become much more useful

#

This seed really wants to see poseidon and zeus...

cunning urchin
#

ill try and go fast
in anyway i can
ill also try and make the enemy slow so i seem faster in comparison
Record that, then adjust FPS so enemies seem to be moving at normal speed and Zagreus super fast.

dense locust
#

That'd be fun, but I don't have any program for recording gameplay (afaik) and don't feel like setting that up right now

tired elk
#

My last run that I almost killed hades was so much easier

#

the rockets was so much easier

dense locust
#

"It gets easier"

tired elk
#

this trying to position myself into the rockets

#

is so difficult XD

#

The sword guys are so difficult XD

#

ok i'm going to bed 4 am here

#

goin to try again tomorrow XD

dense locust
#

My number one tip for you is athena dash is good

tired elk
#

oh yea

#

I want that one

#

But I don't know if I should just keepsake athena ;__;

stiff flume
#

double flourish ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

#

wait where is slothful from

dense locust
#

I keepsake zeus most of the times with eris rail for the zeus attack

stiff flume
#

chaos?

dense locust
#

yeah

#

slothful refers to the movement speed debuff I had to endure

#

If I got heart rend, I'd be doing 2k crits per rocket bomb

#

but it was strong enough as it was

dense locust
#

@olive badge Welp, zag aspect but ended up taking a chaos gate each time hermes boon was offered (thinking there would be at least another one...) and then had to buy my second hermes boon in styx... pretty much the exact opposite of going fast, although I did have 4 dashes: https://imgur.com/T2ECLQr

#

It was fun feeling invincible against Hades though

#

(aphro cast and special with epic broken resolve, 4 athena dashes, and 475 hp...)

Question: if you have a boon for one of your โ€œKeysโ€ (Attack, Dash, etc.), you put Rare Crop on one or more of them, and you accept a replacement boon later down the line before the boon is Heroic or Rare, would the boon still be affected by Rare Crop?

weak rivet
#

I read minotaur's toughness as minotaur topless and

dense locust
#

The core boons will keep their level

#

@sullen valley

#

Wait what is rare crop

#

ahh

sullen valley
#

Ye

dense locust
#

hmm I'd expect that if the boon you have rare cropped is less than heroic, than the replacement would be offered at the rarity higher than it

#

Either that, or it cannot be replaced under the effect of rare crop

#

but that's me guessing based on intuition

lament coral
#

@sullen valley no

dense locust
#

oh

#

yeah the boon will lose rare crop

#

which is what your question was...

lament coral
#

if you replace a boon that's being cultivated, the replacement boon will not continue to increase in rarity

sullen valley
#

Aw

lament coral
#

you're not cultivating an attack, special, cast, etc., it's a named boon

#

that's why when you hover over Rare Crop it states the names

sullen valley
#

Ah

dense locust
#

I tend to refer to the boons that affect your attack, special, cast, dash, and call as core boons but IDK if there is official terminology for it

lament coral
#

there isn't

sullen valley
#

tfw every one of your DDs have been destroyed

#

And now youโ€™re in Styx

#

I got like one Kiss of Defiance earlier, or I didnโ€™t and Iโ€™m misremembering

#

Athena never offered me anything to do with Death Defiance

#

and Patroclus just didnโ€™t show

dense locust
#

the worst part of that feeling is that little bit of perseverance that refuses to just suicide and restart. Although to be fair, a couple of times I felt that despair full blown and went on to actually win so you never know

sullen valley
#

Thereโ€™s always a chance to win, yeah.

#

You can get through Hades only getting hit twice and not know how.

#

Like right now;

dense locust
#

It's weird that I took athena keepsake and the first boon I see is in the shop, but it's aphrodites

sullen valley
#

I entered Styx with absolutely no Death Defiance, feeling like Zeus on all of your main method of attack, no call, and an Athena Dash with the bow...

dense locust
#

I would have thunk it applied to charons wares but i guess not

sullen valley
#

I get offered Athenaโ€™s DD boon, her legendary (fulfilling a minor prophecy) and then ZEUSโ€™S LEGENDARY

#

I also managed to scrounge up 401 HP max by some unknowable means.

#

Oh yeah I also had the Specialโ€™s Charge-up

#

To be honest this entire run was a practice run for Heraโ€™s aspect and itโ€™s kind of eh

#

I had like 3 heroic boons and 2 legendary boons

dense locust
#

Runs often evolve into something other than you planned

#

Im not sure athena attack on fists can deflect asterius with EM when hes charging you. Either that or your hit as to land right as his charge hits you

olive badge
#

amazing lmao

#

I just went to restock essentials

#

and did a run

#

this was fun to have

#

and the triple Duo boon

sullen valley
#

I think I figured out the weapon Iโ€™m most worst with

#

Iโ€™ve kind of used the spear the least, so itโ€™ll take a bit of getting used to for me

gray lintel
#

I suspect that deflect timings depend on the attack speed of what you're using.

#

I am unsure how deflect works on melee attacks. Either they have to have an active 'deflect' hitbox on their melee hitbox when it activates, or you have to hit the monster itself with a deflect attack? blobshrug

#

But it does seem that slow attacks like fourth aspect sword special have a longer than normal active deflect. Feels like it deflects attacks a full half second or more after it hits.

#

also spear secret: dash attacks

lament coral
#

I had this problem where I was attack dashing with fists and Athena attack and Hades managed to hit me with the skull

#

as I was punching

gray lintel
#

IMO spear is literally some of the highest DPS in the game with artemis attack and extra dashes.

#

Again, it seems to scale timing with the speed of whatever it is. I've had attacks land through 30% faster adamant rail attacks.

are there like, individual guides for the aspects in hades on YT

but...you're here

I think the randomness of each run makes a definitive guide near impossible

ah, I forgot

have you been playing with the mirror and the talent removal modifier?

No

does it stay if you quit n load?

Do I want to risk it

No way

It still works

excellent

just f10 it once you get up

Still donโ€™t have wifi

If I restart my pc it will probably be gone, but I have screenshots either way

btw, what exactly is ||ambiguity modifier||, I've been meaning to ask but keepa forgetting

lament coral

does nothing

naive laurel

also, use cellular data to connect for a sec for the f10

lament coral

I wish it increased everything by the amount

gold gain, darkness, max HP, heal, damage, etc.

#

what did it do? Everything

naive laurel
#

I thought It's either ||rare boon chance or run-specific reward chance(2nd to last mirror choice)||

lament coral
#

ah, if only

naive laurel
#

but nothing is....something, I guess

solid cairn
#

I restarted my pc and glitch is still happening

#

Still no WiFi

naive laurel
#

just to be sure, is It confirmed to be literally nothing or can It be something that's really hard to discover like ||thanatos appearance chance||?

solid cairn
#

Very weird glitch

sullen valley
#

You uh...unless itโ€™s purely story-related you donโ€™t need to spoiler things.

naive laurel
#

Yeah I uses to, but after some thought, safer might be better, Since a lot of new peps are here

solid cairn
#

Iโ€™m gonna call that glitch the phantom defiance

sullen valley
#

Fair I guess?

#

heheh, phantom defiance.

solid cairn
#

Wait a minute

#

What if this works in gameplay

#

Also internet literally went on and then out as I was writing the bug report

#

Yo if this works in gameplay thatโ€™s insane

clear dome
#

when does thanatos show his frontal face and when does he show the normal one?

solid cairn
#

I think it may be a visual glitch only tho

clear dome
#

i wanna avoid his frontal face

gray lintel
#

I have Advancing Kick on the fists along with Posideon special. And 21% faster specials.

#

my movement is not my own right now

sullen valley
#

I guess you arenโ€™t romancing Thanatos than @clear dome

clear dome
#

yes i am not

#

his frontal face is too agonizing for me

gray lintel
#

oddly the carry of this run is actually the zeus attacks with longer range punches at least in the third area

sullen valley
#

=[

gray lintel
#

posideon is crazy fun on special with advancing kick tho. because of the dash to enemies the knockback doesn't really mean you kick them out of reach. it just means you yeet all over the map while roundhouse kicking people into the stratosphere

#

downside: i have no clue where I am at any given point in time

sullen valley
#

Oh jeez

gray lintel
#

i'm trying to get thunderbolts on knockback and/or rupture/double knockback

#

is it weird that I like to have two different "winning" setups like

#

instead of just "artemis attacks lol" I like to have multiple different 'damage' combos and one of them eventually wins out

#

or like now where I use the special possideon kick for single target damage while weaving in zeus attacks for extra damage an AOE

clear dome
#

its not weird

#

tho i never do that and just focus on 1 aspecc

gray lintel
#

eh tbf I guess the zeus attack is cause I got posideon special and zeus makes sense for making it do lightning bolts

clear dome
#

never got the combo

#

is it good?

gray lintel
#

on a fast-firing weapon? YES.

clear dome
#

tbh all zeus boons are good on fast firing weapons

gray lintel
#

well yeah

#

Zeus and Ares scales with poms instead of regular damage methods

#

also for some reason zeus has a duo with like almost every dang god

clear dome
#

hes the lead god

#

he is supposed to lead all other gods, hence the amount of duos

solid cairn
#

Jesus Iโ€™m so bad how can I not win with quick spin and charged skewer on GY

gray lintel
#

guan ye seems best if you can dodge, heavily favors dodging :x

clear dome
#

gy -70% is hard

solid cairn
#

I have 50%

clear dome
#

oh

#

thats just...sad

solid cairn
#

I have beaten 16 heat with it before

#

EM hydra and elysium are just a disaster

#

Legit get up to hydra taking like no damage

#

And then I lose a DD because of dumb stuff I canโ€™t avoid and overshooting my dash

clear dome
#

charge skewer => rushed by 100 meow chariots

#

thats fun

solid cairn
#

Thatโ€™s not even the issue

#

Itโ€™s the fact that I have 100% lasting consequences

clear dome
#

so you cant heal?

#

with GY?

solid cairn
#

I can heal with guan yu

#

Nothing else tho

#

So I constantly struggle to stay afloat

gray lintel
#

a thing i have noticed in my own play too is that dodging is everything and seperates good runs from bad runs. even with guan yu you need to not get hit most of the time to let the healing take incidental damage from mistakes

#

gotta be consistent too instead of gettnig hit by several back to back

solid cairn
#

EM hydra is like impossible for me

gray lintel
#

get athena and avoid traps :v

proper jolt
#

Don't dash as much

gray lintel
#

for that sweet sweet lava resistance

solid cairn
#

I rarely see that boon ever

gray lintel
#

honestly I recommend using Ruthless Reflex 100%

#

the 50% damage is crazy strong earlygame and makes it much faster

#

and the 50% dodge helps stay alive

#

also hydra in general seems to have bad tracking and moving helps :x also remembering that projectiles can (generally) be destroyed by an attack at the same time

solid cairn
#

Maybe I@ll learn how to use dash properly with that

gray lintel
#

trust in the iframes

#

be one with the iframes

#

it feels like, especially with ruthless dash, you want to dash through attacks

#

uses iframes to t heir maximum extent and is usually easier than trying to dash through the side of some projectiles, especially if they're homing like hydra heads

solid cairn
#

Wait a minute

#

I usually dash through attacks because Iโ€™m used to like gungeon

#

And the souls series as well I guess

gray lintel
#

also like remember that attacks destroy projectiles

#

if you attack while dashing, spear dash hitbox is very large and can take out a lot of projectiles in the way

#

(this is also useful for the second area since the elite witches like to spam projectiles)

#

especially with heavy projectile density, it is much easier to spam attacks with most weapons than to try and dodge through it all

solid cairn
#

I assumed ruthless dash was bad

gray lintel
#

eh?

#

like if you don't need the damage, +1 dash is more reliable unless you can get the extra dashes hermes boon

#

and spear IMO scales primarily with dashes from what I've seen :x

#

even guan yu wants heavy dash attacks, with spin attacks used to top off health

#

but you'd be surrpised at how often it triggers. The timing is somewhat sensitive but it's got a surprisingly broad range and works for both start and end position

#

and remember that damage = health because the faster you kill things the less you screw up and get hit

solid cairn
#

I should probably also switch to privileged status

gray lintel
#

also 50% dodge is nothing to sneeze at that's basically 50% damage resistance for 2 seconds after dodging

#

ehhh it depends :x

#

family favorite is more reliable if you don't focus on statuses

#

also damage increases are additive, so if you've got say something like my current run

#

where it's +199% special damage on posideon special, +50% chaos boon, another +50% ruthless dodge

#

that's like 4x damage? privileged status would only give 10% more damage

#

meanwhile I have 4 different god boons from Hermes/Artemis/Posideon/Zeus giving 24% conditionless increased damage

#

that means privileged status would only give 16% increased damage which is only like 4% or less blobshrug

#

and that's only if you have a build with two status effects in it(i currently don't have any status effects)

solid cairn
#

And family favorite is better how?

gray lintel
#

because it's damage is always active

#

from the start of the game. Always 6% damage. 100% of the time.

#

every build will have hermes in it so that's 12% damage, guaranteed

#

add in like 3 more gods and lategame you're looking at 30% increased damage

solid cairn
#

Depends on weapon ig

#

For nemesis sword, PS is a must

gray lintel
#

is it? You probably are going artemis attack, meaning your dash and special would have to compensate for it. Optimal is probably athena dash and aphrodite special. Athena dash requires a tier 2 boon for it to apply a status effect. You're already looking at 4 gods right there.

solid cairn
#

Aphro attack tho

gray lintel
#

i mean I guess if you don't want that artemis extra 15% crit chance

solid cairn
#

Ok maybe Iโ€™m wrong on that one

naive tusk
#

If you manage to get Heart Rend, then Heartbreak Strike is really good!

gray lintel
#

that's kinda preferential really. Artemis has really low attack damage but 15% crit.

twin mural
#

is there any point to running the mirror upgrade that gives you rare boon chance+ if you're running the other one that gives epic boon chance+?

lament coral
#

of course

#

just because you have a 40% higher chance of getting a blue doesn't mean you won't see commons

#

that epic booster helps counter commons even further

#

plus, the alternative isn't all that hot

twin mural
#

really? i thought trying to get a legendary would relaly help

lament coral
#

and I have the sneaking suspicion that the other talent, the one that increases gold laurel rooms, overrides NPC encounters

#

cause NPCs are blue

twin mural
#

... oh sisyphus balls

#

i didn't think about that

unkempt pagoda
#

npcs can be gold

twin mural
#

can be?

lament coral
#

maybe it's my imaginary bias, but I feel that I've been seeing fewer NPCs when I had that talent, and more NPCs when I had the epic booster

twin mural
#

i'm trying at the moment to prophecy farm, and next on the list is more duo boons and weapon upgrades

#

but i'm also trying to give more nectar to the people who give the companions

#

so i don't want to risk slimmer chances for allies appearing, just in case that's true

unkempt pagoda
#

npcs can't be switched out with fated, i assume they just choose a random chamber to put the npcs in per run, changing the laurel to match

lament coral
#

you're guaranteed 2 hammers per run, and you could just take the duo boons talent

gray lintel
#

honestly I figure that certain encounters would be rolled before temporary/permanent is rolled :x

#

the +10% for hammers matters, at least, if you want t o take another more beneficial room

#

but yeah epic boons are so significant that not having that +20% hurts :c

#

it might be useful tho if you need a lot of boons to make a build work tho like, a ton of legendaries/duos

#

duo effects can carry a run themselves

#

like posideon/zeus

weak rivet
#

3 eclipses from Chaos and a farming boon from posei

#

I have absolutely no useful boons anywhere literally my slots are EMPTY but the amount of darkness im getting is so ludicrous its worth the pain hshfuf

not getting boons is such a bummer

weak rivet
#

Yep i got murdered

naive laurel
#

So, tried dash atk bow again(Not like I havn't done a build for It out of sheer mecessity because how clunky It is otherwise)

first, u can't charge arrow during dash

2nd, theres little to none evasiveness to this build, u take dmg during charging bow like a joke, And I got forced to runaround chased By 20 enemies because the aoe sucks too.

3rd, I have both ruthlessness and 50% Chaoes bonus on attack and epic artemis attack, 100% extra dmg power shot and 75% powershot trigger rate, but the dmg is still not high enough to 1 shot armor, meaning a need for either special (good thing I got hangover on It to do chip dmg) or I have to do 3 powershots against each enemy.

#

bow overall is just not very suiting for 40% overtime or high jury summons lvl

delicate nimbus
#

Man I can't seem to get through the temple of styx lol I've gotten there 5 times now and got grinded to dust there

shadow oriole
#

dash in and use special up close

delicate nimbus
#

I have 2 extra lives, and I always make it to styx with only the 1 life now lol

naive laurel
#

I got chiron, but someone said dash bow is good

#

I'm trying my best to make It work

shadow oriole
#

gotcha. yeah im not sure it can be good, maybe get through last boss though

naive laurel
#

I think I can win this bare 14 hest run, but I Got a dd taken away from me cuz 20 enemies chasing me around on asphodel

#

It's unbeliveable how bad this weapon can be against certain situations

shadow oriole
#

what pacts are you using?

naive laurel
#

hell I Got to elysium in 12 igtime, So It's Not bad bad, but I took 3 chaoes bonus and I should've been busted Op rn If on any other thing

#

sec

#

literally almost going all in into attack

#

also, tho, I got guided lazer to carry a bit

#

lul

shadow oriole
#

all those extra enemies will make it a lot harder with bow

#

like you are using all the options that make it extra hard for bow

naive laurel
#

the only thing I might be making It harder is the ruthless dash, but If Not for It I prob need 5 atk on each enemy to kill them

#

most options on heat is forced, Since it's hell mode

shadow oriole
#

you have forced overtime, extra enemies, extra damage, and extra enemy health

naive laurel
#

Yeah the latter 3 are Not chooseable

shadow oriole
#

hell mode?

naive laurel
#

Yeah

#

Not saying bow is bad or something, but It stands up to the test of difficulty undoubtedly the worst, from my experience. And it's baffling since It's a ranged weapon

shadow oriole
#

standing still is really bad, especially when you have no protection

naive laurel
#

Yep, I just picked up athena call, gives me window for shootkng powershots in elysium

#

otherwise impossible to do unless I take 30+ dmg

Hey guys, quick question about duo boons. When you have the prerequsites for a duo boon, how can you tell which god will have a chance to give the duo boon? Or is it perhaps both?

rustic remnant
#

Any tips on playing well with Choronact (the bow)? I just can't seem to get the hang of it.

unkempt pagoda
#

use the dash attack, as it charges faster and keeps you mobile

#

it doesn't do as much damage as the regular attack, but that can be fixed with attack boons/artemis dash/chaos

#

i wouldn't recommend doing an entirely special build unless you're going chiron bow

rustic remnant
#

That's fair. I'll give it a shot

#

Pun intended, of course

naive laurel
#

Yeah flipping entering hades fight with 0 dd and 94 health

#

definitely gonna win for sure

turbid needle
#

You just need to practice more with it, d00d.

#

@naive tusk Is it not the same as Quick Reload?

#

And use Zag Aspect on Dash attack-focused builds.

naive laurel
#

practice is Not gonna work when staying still for .5s is 30 health gone 2bh

#

Yep, can barely attack at all against hades

#

cast dmg is good tho

naive tusk
#

Is it? I don't remember but if so, then I will use the same one squirtyay

#

I just started playing Hades, 22 hours in, was looking at the wiki recently and noticed this โ€œ If you have a spammy, purely single-attack buildโ€ in the using Poms section, I have inclined to use that playstyle and its what makes the game fun for me, I tend to do it often with all the weapons and combine different boons , why should that playstyle be frowned down upon? If one does use cast and special as well in between

sullen valley
#

Bruh only like 1 run ago I just learned that you can dash with the Spin Slash on the spear.

#

I immediately got the idea to put Athena's aspect onto Attack and it kills Spreaders so fast.

strange gull
#

I love that feeling. This game is soo awesome.

shadow oriole
#

try it guan yu spin as well. huge deflects

strange gull
#

The slow attack and low health make it difficult to progress passed hydra

sullen valley
#

That I know. I jut didn't know you could Dash while charging your Spin Slash on all the other aspects

#

@strange gull Your Special is the strongest attack of Guan Yu's arsenal. Like Bombard on Exagryph, your attack/dash-attack (that could also work too if you want quick damage) is good for more consistent DPS, but what seems to be able to deal much more damage is the Special.

shadow oriole
#

special is best because its the easiest to avoid damage, especially on hydra which is all about positioning

turbid needle
#

Nah, Divine Strike and a Deadly Reversal prereq on Guan Yu is its best build.

#

Lots of invulnerability and absolutely monster damage.

strange gull
#

I had Zeus jolted with guan yu and various casts and Hermรจs fast attack, but the hydra throws multiple bombs and enemies on the second attack that the speed and retrieval and dodge from flames and fire make the stalling time till next attack too slow

#

Lots of invulnerability and absolutely monster damage.
@turbid needle will try that out

turbid needle
#

Swift Strike doesn't speed up the spin charge.

#

Guan Yu needs either Quick Spin or Charged Skewer.

strange gull
#

No the special Y throw spear

turbid needle
#

Swift Flourish isn't necessary for Guan Yu, either.

strange gull
#

Not sure of all the names. I just started playing

sullen valley
#

Oh, uh...the gun?

turbid needle
#

Exagryph, the Adamant Rail.

sullen valley
#

It's a bit comparable to the gun is what I'm saying, when talking about comparing their Attacks and Specials.

turbid needle
#

Yeah, they're both viable endgame builds, Attack and Special.

naive laurel
#

welp, hera with Triple cast stone zeus cast is banger I see

sullen valley
#

I was meaning how your Attack/Dash-Attack on both weapons aren't exactly meant for dealing loads of damage in an instant. That's reserved for the Special attack. But your Attack/Dash-Attack is more geared towards quick damage.

turbid needle
#

They're not bursty, but they have excellent sustained DPS.

#

The kind of which beats both shield gate and Damage Control, both of which stunt Special damage.

sullen valley
#

Aye!

thorny sierra
#

does anyone know how Lambent Plume sets its time limit? Does it depend on number of enemies, difficulty of enemies, what zone you're in, etc?

#

also does anyone have tips for Extreme Measures hydra? I rarely die to it, but on higher heat it often deals enough damage to me that I end up dying later as a result if I don't find ||Patroclus|| in Elysium. Where the hell am I supposed to stand during the invincibility phases?

naive laurel
#

u don't stand, 2bh.

Circling around is the best option

naive tusk
#

My tips for EM Hydra would be to:

  • While only the main head is around, attack as you would normally
  • While its other heads are around, keep circling around as you attack and avoid attacks. Staying in 1 place just means directing all their attention to a small isle where there's no room to dodge attacks. Try to eliminate 1 head at a time so you receive less focus from their attacks
sullen valley
#

It's kinda like training enemies. Locally, like Brightswords. Globally, like CoD Zombies.

#

If you stay in one place, you're cornering yourself.

#

Cycling around your area means you'll have to deal with less all the time, and focus your enemies into an area favorable to you.

#

...If, that makes sense.

#

I mean that the heads also seem to draw themselves towards Zagreus, so you'd have more free areas the heads could less easily attack if you're jumping around.

delicate nimbus
#

Hey where do I report a bug?

unkempt pagoda
#

press f10 in-game for a bug reporter!

delicate nimbus
#

The issue was interesting. I have the aphrodite boon that gives you bonus max hp and healing when you pick up those items. I went into a centaur heart room and thanatos showed up. The room's reward gave me like 36 hp. But thanatos' centaur heart only showed it as giving me 25 hp. I don't know if it was a visual bug or if it really only gave me 25 hp though....

tall yarrow
#

Am I correctly observing that apply a higher damage doom on an enemy that is already doomed will increase the hit without resetting the timer? I guess the Ares/Aphrodite duo is better than I thought

unkempt pagoda
#

@delicate nimbus i believe that boon specifies room rewards, than's heart is something extra

naive tusk
#

That's right. Some time ago, @stiff stone gave some feedback about letting Than's hearts also be affected by Life Affirmation friendly

delicate nimbus
#

Ah I see yeah ok charon's not being affected makes a little sense, since you didn't "earn" it, but than's you did

naive laurel

Iirc charon's centaur heart gets affected By it, I vaguely remember getting 36 max health over It sometime...

Hey, I'm trying to get fully loaded to drop on an Artemis run, and I'm having trouble. If I'm reading the wiki right, I only have to get Dual Shot and Exit Wounds, and it should theoretically unlock? Am I doing anything wrong, or am I just getting screwed by RNG?

shadow oriole

as far as im aware you need both

naive tusk
#

The wiki isn't updated but I can send you a picture of the updated info if you wish

In fact, I just found out that Support Fire is now a tier 2 haha

you need both dual shot and exit wounds for it to show up in the boon pool

it's still rng on whether it shows up

naive laurel
#

Should we have a wiki update squad since this outdate thing keeps happening?

solid cairn
#

^

#

On some pages, nectar is still referred to as ambrosia

naive tusk
#

I would love to help with that but like I said, the tools confuse me failbag

#

It'd be lovely if people formed a squad for a solidarity cause friendly

turbid prairie
#

@naive tusk yeah I wouldn't mind that updated picture if you please. thanks very much!

naive tusk
#

I will post the link to the album with all the boon trees once I finish doing Hermes'

#

Why is Artemis such a complicated goddess?

naive laurel
#

I tried to edit for the first time, Did took me a while but the logic of the tool is not very hard Imo.

U guys can @ me on some Changes u wanna do and I'll see what I can do about It.

This tree I might just grab ANd put It there later tonight

naive tusk
#

That'd be helpful. Many put their faith in the older version and then find out that it was in vain. Artemis' is the most searched of all

#

Ironically, Aphrodite's tree is the most simple one shadesmile

naive laurel
#

oh frick

#

it says i need to confirm it's my own work....

naive tusk
#

How?

naive laurel
#

by uploading it, ofc

naive tusk
#

Just upload it ๐Ÿ˜Š

naive laurel
#

๐Ÿ‘

#

well i see the watermark after typing your full discord handle in description lul, whatev, the more sources the better

#

it's there now

#

yep, imma go get the PoP page done now too

#

it's so outdated

naive laurel
#

k, got it done. someone wanna double check it for me?

Hades Wiki

The Pact of Punishment is a contract provided by Hades for the purpose of making Zagreus' escape attempts even more difficult while earning valuable rewards. In the regular play-through, the Pact will only appear after the Final Boss is defeated at least once, and Zagreus has ...

earnest ravine
#

There's some grammatical jankiness in the description paragraph.

naive laurel
#

Which condition?

earnest ravine
#

It's mainly just readability things. Like "In the regular play-through," scans weirdly, a more natural phrasing would be "in a regular playthrough", stuff like that. It's not technically wrong but it stumbles.

#

The actual table and information all looks right, though.

naive laurel
#

Oh ok that's barely my doing :p I only touched the table

#

I can go see if wording can be changed on the parts u said about.

earnest ravine
#

Not a top priority! Grammar and spell checking is my normal job when people have me look over stuff, so it stands out to me more.

naive tusk
#

@naive laurel You are a credit to the wiki update squad!

naive laurel
#

Oh I'm fing bored, lul, and it forgot to say hell mode has 16 conditions, and I forgot to change condition number too/

#

There might be a need of table for the benefits package traits and effects, but ugh that's a bit too much for me today.

tired elk
#

Do I have to unlock each aspect to unlock the fourth one?

naive tusk
#

Copy pasting what Greg said in a pin:

#

Unlocking the Aspect of Arthur ||requires first having unlocked the Aspect of Guan Yu, then having invested 5 or more Titan Blood into any Blade aspects. Nyx should tell you more in a conversation soon after that.||

#

As for Aspect of Guan Yu.....

#

I forgot ๐Ÿ˜‹

tired elk
#

I should've just googled it sorry

naive laurel
#

@naive tusk Oh yeah but I guess a more detailed number need to be datamined, I'll take this to the page first tho. Iirc slugger is double dmg.

naive tusk
#

According to a quick search ||spend 6 titan blood across multiple aspects and then Achilles will tell you about the spear.||

#

No worries! I'm glad if I can help somehow squirtyay

#

Ah, I just copy pasted what the patch notes said over the List of Prophecies XD

tired elk
#

||2 parts to hades correct?||

naive tusk
#

What do you mean by 2 parts?

naive laurel
#

Sure footing is 90% on epic rn right

naive tusk
#

Let me see...

naive laurel
#

what is common and rare value?

fallow niche
#

@naive tusk Artemis is complicated because of nerfs

#

Its our fault lul

naive laurel
#

Imma just go take a wild guess on the rare and common value lul

#

iirc bronze skin is fixed 5% common now right

naive tusk
#

Hmm.... I can't decipher the values for Sure Footing but I remember seeing 90% on epic last time I got it

turbid needle
#

Thanks for breaking Fully Loaded right before we got Stygian Soul, Forge. shadeugh

naive laurel
#

Yep me too, so imma just..ya know.

turbid needle
#

It is 90.

naive laurel
#

Imma guess common is 60 and rare is 75

turbid needle
#

Boons don't always scale linearly.

naive laurel
#

cuz i got a faint memory of those number on it

naive tusk
#

And according to this info:

#

Common =
{
Multiplier = 1.0,
},
Rare =
{
Multiplier = 1.5,
},
Epic =
{
Multiplier = 2.0,
},
Heroic =
{
Multiplier = 2.5,

unkempt pagoda
#

i'd rather no information on the wiki than misinformation

naive tusk
#

Those are the multipliers for Bronze Skin

#

Base at 5%

naive laurel
#

Yes, but the base on wiki is 5% to 10%

#

which is funny

#

@unkempt pagoda I mean, the wiki version was 40%-60% so it's definitely misinformation

#

I'll put ?? on it for undefined

#

Wait, when did merciful end get nerfed

#

I swear it was 50

turbid needle
#

It's been nerfed many times over the last year.

unkempt pagoda
#

it is

turbid needle
#

Is it not still 50?

naive laurel
#

Oh i mean last time I see it it was 50

#

so that's another change to apply to the page...

naive tusk
#

It's still 50

naive laurel
#

F it, next time imma go w/ a run w/ last 3 talents disabled to see the numbers of common base on those boons

#

So many numbers being suspiciously wrong to memory

naive tusk
#

Or pay Demeter a visit and ask nicely for a Rare Crop โ„๏ธ

naive laurel
#

When I got trash quality boons I always go for her :p

#

Oh f

#

I need to change other 2 merciful end entries

#

Holy

#

the merciful end on athena's page was 90

#

the one on duo boon page is flipping 120

tired elk
#

I'm trying a run without any healing talents from the mirror on

naive laurel
#

ancient numbers lul

tired elk
#

forgot to put them on ;__;

naive tusk
#

Oh my, that's too much ๐Ÿ˜„

#

You can do it, Kilani

#

We believe in you!

naive laurel
#

U can dew it!

#

also, hunting blades is 3.3s homing, right

tired elk
#

Almost lost a life at the snake guy XD

#

only have 2 saving lives thingies

#

but thank you @naive tusk

naive laurel
#

yep 3.3

#

oh, u can buy them at small shops

#

save money

#

i mean, obols

dense locust
#

Merciful end used to add 120 to doom damage!?

naive tusk
#

Yes~

dense locust
#

That's fun. I wish impending doom did something for a merciful end build

naive laurel
#

I'm like, holy

tired elk
#

Ares or Aphrodite better for Special damage I forgot ;__;

dense locust
#

that question depends on a number of factors

tired elk
#

more damage*

#

Since i'm using Gun crit doesn't really matter?

dense locust
#

Aphro then

#

they are apples and oranges

naive tusk
#

Aphrodite is better in that case

#

they are my cousins

tired elk
#

oh ares doesn't even give damage to special

#

ANOTHER QUESTION

#

I could've just googled

dense locust
#

ares special just adds a flat damage on hit and doesn't affect the damage your special does. Aphro increases the base damage of your special by the most of any god

tired elk
#

why do I do this

earnest ravine
#

You probably won't be able to apply Doom super consistently with gun's special, which kinda stinks.

dense locust
#

Yeah doom on rail special is not ideal

tired elk
#

I should actually try Dionysus with gun

naive laurel
#

OMFG the duo boon page is hurting my ocd

dense locust
#

Doom on attack can work if you get the duo Merciful End

naive laurel
#

the formatting, ugh

earnest ravine
#

Hey, sometimes Google doesn't help! Outdated answers, conflicting ones, Wrong ones...

tired elk
#

I have resorted just to the max ammo on the Gun

#

the aspect where you need to be in the blast radius

#

hurts my brain too much

earnest ravine
#

Hestia might be more to your tastes, but it becomes more of a sniper rifle with some extra bullets on the side.

naive tusk
#

@tired elk feel free to ask here! We are a community and don't mind helping each other at all friendly

tired elk
#

Aye I got rocket bomb here we go @dense locust

#

Just sucks I forgot to put on my 3 health per gate lol

naive tusk
#

You can do it!

naive laurel
#

@earnest ravine https://hades.gamepedia.com/Duo_Boons
Tell me if u think the 2nd paragraph numbers not in green should be green

Hades Wiki

Duo Boons are a type of Boon which combines the powers of two different gods for a unique effect. Duo Boons can only be obtained with the correct prerequisite boons, and like normal boons, are lost when Zagreus dies and returns to the House of Hades.
There are currently 18 Duo...

naive tusk
#

(I just said that in a High School Musical tone lol)

#

Plz don't hit me

dense locust
#

If you got it room 1 (or close to it), you can always choose the option "Give up" in the start menu and then make sure your mirror traits are in order. The seed for that run will not reset and you'll still be offered the same hammer choices room 1

naive laurel
#

Btw, is sea storm still 40?

dense locust
#

Last I saw it was

shadow oriole
#

yes

naive laurel
#

๐Ÿ‘

#

Yep now "recent changes" is filled w/ me...

naive tusk
#

"...and Chaos, though they offer Boons, will never offer Duo Boons."
I would change it to:
"... and Chaos, who, despite offering boons, will never offer Duo Boons."

earnest ravine
#

I'm not sure what you mean about the green numbers thing, really. Nothing seems overtly wrong there.

naive laurel
#

Oh i mean I greened most numbers like "successive hit dmg" on curse of longing, and "bonus critical damage" on Heart rend

#

and that wording is done

#

they used to be all plain color, so i just went in and greened them cuz it's mostly so on other pages.

earnest ravine
#

Oh! Yeah, it seemed stylistically consistent with the rest of the wiki, so good work!

#

(downside to doing a good job: no one realizes that you did so)

tired elk
#

Arctic blast actually good with the gun

#

I would feel I would rather just keep the 10 stacks on them lol

#

but 140 is a big number XD

naive laurel
#

Demeter is good on both rapid fire weapons and slow weapons due to this thing helping the rapid, while killing freeze helps the slower one

earnest ravine
#

Arctic Blast is kinda weird? Especially if you get the Killing Freeze boon. It's good up front damage but cuts you off from a really beefy dot sometimes.

naive laurel
#

Oh it's a choice imo

tired elk
#

Bull chill doesn't have a dot

naive laurel
#

fast weapon go blast, slow weapon go freeze

#

killing freeze gives it a dot

tired elk
#

I don't have the option for killing freeze ;__;

#

but thanks c:

naive laurel
#

I once went snow burst and killing freeze immediately before hades

#

carried the fight at least a bit

#

Wait, nourished soul should be considered consumable right

#

And rare crop too

unkempt pagoda
#

nourished soul has a passive effect

naive laurel
#

yes but it cannot be sold, and athena's dd replenishing boons are consumable and not sellable too

#

I think we can consider changing "consumable" to "unsellable" across the wiki if we want to be not misleading

#

or we can just say it's "consumable" since they do have a consumable portion

unkempt pagoda
#

unsellable works

naive laurel
#

lemme go get the athena ones changed too

#

any other similar ones?

#

Poseidon's is fully consumable so, u know

#

"Life Threshold value reduced by Grim Inevitability."

#

holy how old is this

tired elk
#

This is the run

#

292 now after I bought something XD

naive laurel
#

Looks fine to me, I presume it's styx

tired elk
#

@naive tusk It's gonna happen

cunning urchin
#

Duo Boons can only be obtained with the correct prerequisite boons, and like normal boons, are lost when Zagreus dies and returns to the House of Hades.
Should be:
Duo Boons can only be obtained with the correct prerequisite boons and[,] like normal boons, are lost when Zagreus dies and returns to the House of Hades.

tired elk
#

styx?

#

what's that

naive laurel
#

gimme a sec, I have 4 edit windows open

#

temple of styx

#

Question about final boss -> ||How many phases does Hades have||

delicate nimbus
#

Hey I was wondering are there any dumb glitch-tricks in this game? Like in enter the gungeon, when you clear a room ammo drops, and if you don't pick it up in time a rat comes and takes it away. But you can do some weird spawning by teleporting to other rooms and quickly coming back, and you'll despawn the rat and you can leave the ammo box and come back for it later in the run.

tired elk
#

I'm about to fight the final boss

naive laurel
#

2

tired elk
#

ok thanks

naive laurel
#

@cunning urchin

Duo Boons can only be obtained with the correct prerequisite boons and, like normal boons, they are lost when Zagreus dies and returns to the House of Hades.

Added a they

#

and, ofc the punctuation

cunning urchin
#

Actually if you add a they the punctuation needs to change now because the sentence introduced by and is now independent.

naive laurel
#

f me... I'll just go w/ ur way

naive tusk
#

Good luck ๐Ÿ€

cunning urchin
naive laurel
#

yes I just gave consent

tired elk
#

How do I deal with ||the green barrels...||

#

in the final boss fight

steel sable
#

Attack them from a distance

naive laurel
#

break'em from a distance

steel sable
#

Sometimes you can just ignore 'em

tired elk
#

the boss spawns them so often though :/

steel sable
#

You can usually get rid of the ones that are important to get rid of in time

naive laurel
#

And hope he don't laser them when they are still up

steel sable
#

Well you see, that's why you want some death defiances stored up

tired elk
#

I BEAT IT

#

I didn't die at all second phase c:

cunning urchin
#

Congratulations!

gray lintel
#

advancing kick, faster specials, posideon special, thunder on special. i've got ENERGY LEGS.

cunning urchin
#

Now you get to see the ending and end credits and everything. dusa

naive laurel
#

Ok, what's love affirmation's numbers? 42 at epic and 30 at common?

#

cuz that is outdated af too

tired elk
#

I saw no credits ;__;

cunning urchin
#

Why not? What happened? dusa

tired elk

||I died LOL||
