ugh not a single artemis boon in asphodel

livid comet Jun 19, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

OH

#

I JUST REALISED ARTEMIS ISN'T WEARING A SCARF

#

ha ha ha

#

😂

#

quick question

#

does stygian soul stop you from getting arty's legendary?

main osprey Jun 19, 2020, 8:40 AM

#

Don't think so

#

Stygian is recharging bloodstones, right?

livid comet Jun 19, 2020, 8:41 AM

#

yarp

main osprey Jun 19, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

But yeah, neither of them should prevent the Arty legendary, to my knowledge

livid comet Jun 19, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

okay

main osprey Jun 19, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

o7

untold vortex Jun 19, 2020, 8:44 AM

#

Yeah that is correct swan, the only way to prevent yourself from getting arti legendary is by picking up a cast boon that doesn't lodge

#

Ie ares, dio and demeter casts

#

As you'll no longer be able to pick up exit wounds

torpid orbit Jun 19, 2020, 8:45 AM

#

i had arti legendary with stygian

#

few runs ago

untold vortex Jun 19, 2020, 8:47 AM

#

Arti legendary is fairly hard to get on current patch unfortunately

#

Because it requires 2 t2 boons

main osprey Jun 19, 2020, 8:48 AM

#

Both || Dual Shot and Exit Wounds ||

naive tusk Jun 19, 2020, 8:57 AM

Aphrodite's can lodge

main osprey Jun 19, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

But not consistently

#

I guess, does it block exit wounds?

cunning urchin Jun 19, 2020, 9:11 AM

#

It does not.

livid comet Jun 19, 2020, 9:22 AM

omfg

#

I got every artemis boon

except

fully loaded

#

dual shot, true shot, exit wounds, quick reload, greater recall

main osprey Jun 19, 2020, 9:23 AM

Yup, that'll happen

Are you at the end?

livid comet Jun 19, 2020, 9:23 AM

yep

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 9:50 AM

that assumes:
A. I can aim
B. it works

did you turn aim assist off?

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 9:50 AM

i play kbm

iso makes aiming real hard

lament coral Jun 19, 2020, 9:51 AM

so do I, turn aim assist on if you wanna be able to hit something

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 9:51 AM

hmm

i guess i'll try it 😦

lament coral Jun 19, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

I have no problems aiming in Diablo but in Hades it just doesn't work

#

especially awful during the Hydra fight, can't hit the heads without aim assist

smoky oasis Jun 19, 2020, 9:54 AM

how do you turn aim assist on on PC?

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

controls

turbid needle Jun 19, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

it should be on on default

#

at least thats how it was for me

smoky oasis Jun 19, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

maybe I turned it off for some reason

#

It feels hard whenever I play range weapons. Can't hit anything

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 9:55 AM

i have it turned off because it's awful in general

... I've just been offered two boon replacements in a row in tart with 1 core boon

everyone says its so good maybe I'm just not good with it

trying to decide which fists to level first, aspect of talos or demeter?

lament coral Jun 19, 2020, 1:07 PM

Demeter definitely offers more damage

dire bough Jun 19, 2020, 1:07 PM

is it a hassle to try and work out the 12 hits before the special?

lament coral Jun 19, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

work out?

dire bough Jun 19, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

as in 12 hits then special

#

like is timing that tricky? or does it flow well

lament coral Jun 19, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

just practice on Skelly, it's easy to keep track of

dire bough Jun 19, 2020, 1:09 PM

ok great

#

thanks ill def give it a go

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 1:17 PM

It tells you when you have the charge as well

#

Also, I don't use TD specifically so I can build the slower builds

turbid needle Jun 19, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

I just wanna find builds I can make work for high heats tbh

#

but experimenting is also fun

dire bough Jun 19, 2020, 1:20 PM

TD?

#

yeah im at super low heat so almost everything is working, just leveling up keep sakes atm

turbid needle Jun 19, 2020, 1:21 PM

tight deadline

raven radish Jun 19, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

I started using TD at Rank 1

#

honestly I feel like 9 minutes isn't too bad

#

Rank 2 feels tight for me, though

#

also, +1 to Aspect of Demeter. Your special can just delete.

turbid needle Jun 19, 2020, 1:31 PM

9 minutes isnt so bad until elysium and EM3

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 1:38 PM

I'm way too proud of 6x16 even though it isn't that hard

#

But it's a big milestone

Next one is getting slowly to 32 with 1 weapon

dire bough Jun 19, 2020, 1:51 PM

its all relative but 6x16 is pretty great

this game is crazy addictive, i've put in 60 hours in 2 weeks of having it

it's got a great gameplay loop, and at 30 aud its ridiculous value

I bought it on release

Yeah ikr

dire bough Jun 19, 2020, 1:53 PM

tbh i didn't hear about it till a few weeks ago

untold vortex Jun 19, 2020, 1:53 PM

30 aud is incredibly cheap for what you get :3

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 1:54 PM

I literally bought it as soon as the "you can buy this now at whatever-it-was dot com" screen showed up at the game awards announcement

untold vortex Jun 19, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

I was incredibly stubborn about not using the EGS then (and arguably still now) so I happily waited the year before buying but pre-ordered as fast as I could when the steam page allowed me too

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

Haha

#

Nah I have EGS specifically for Hades

untold vortex Jun 19, 2020, 1:57 PM

that's fair, ngl probably gonna buy hades again on whatever platforms it launches on (that I own) when 1.0 happens

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

I might end up rebuying it on steam at some point idk

dire bough Jun 19, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

yeah im in that "not using EGS" boat as well

#

maybe thats why missed this for the first year, i'm generally aware of most games, esp something from SG

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

For me I was just like "I care more about supporting supergiant asap and getting my hands on their new game than I do about supporting a currently subpar platform

dire bough Jun 19, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

but yeah incredible value, and considering they're adding even more content it seems like

yeah fair enough

#

though even if i got bored right now, this is the best value ive had $ to hours invested

though my thumb is getting a bit of RSI from hitting space bar to dash all the time hah

hushed ledge Jun 19, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

Yeah take a break

#

That happens

#

Don't play too much

#

I generally limit myself to 3-4 runs a day at very most

#

And also do hand exercises whenever I have spare time waiting for something

@novel prawn At that moment I was like "Why would you go there!?" and just... instinctively rushed into lava and took it out

#

I just realized that was a bug after I killed it

novel prawn Jun 19, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

I had something similar happen to me when the Hydra went past the wall... luckly I had the railgun with me, so I used the special to hit him behind the wall... what weapon did you have?

I am using Aegis
Happy lava bathing, Zag

novel prawn Jun 19, 2020, 2:21 PM

(P.S.: The Hydra going over the wall was before the Technical Beta. It might get fixed in the next patch)

#

ah ok

#

I see

#

hmm

#

not sure how you hit it with that. with special? not sure if your normal attacks can go through the wall

#

or can they?

leaden hare Jun 19, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

There is a opening on the right side of those tombstones, however, my special cannot reach this foe bc it's in the dead corner
That's why I have to run inside to eliminate it

Whats up with the damage numbers on my cast? The power pom shows less than my HUD

unkempt pagoda Jun 19, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

bug probably, did you report it?

random hull Jun 19, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

301 roughly a 20% increase from 251. My assumption would be that the Pom shows base damage while the HUD shows the damage after modifiers.

carmine rivet Jun 19, 2020, 4:04 PM

Looks like beta content @knotty vigil , please only post in the beta channels

knotty vigil Jun 19, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

@carmine rivet Yes, sorry.

@random hull That would make sense but I only had the +8% damage modifier from ares I think. I have another item there but I don't think that boosts the cast.

@unkempt pagoda No, wasn't sure if it was a bug.

the defiance legendary boon from chaos just requires you to have visited chaos at least once already in the run

from there it's pure luck

so you can't get it on your first chaos encounter, but can for your second and so on

this run has come together nicely

oh hey epic auto reload

#

blocking FB stabs is super awkward sometimes

magic dagger Jun 20, 2020, 1:28 AM

I got 1280 darkness from the final boss!

#

so that was fun

#

Yeah, getting exclusive access might help to get chaos's stuff

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

I somehow managed to get a "deflect" popup on the titan blood spawning after FB

#

LOL

magic dagger Jun 20, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

2 favor boons from chaos hits about as hard as exclusive access

#

also, selling two legendaries gives you a lot of gold

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

selling legendaries

midnight karma Jun 20, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

Generally wouldn't sell legendaries. Would definitely sell a lot of duos though. Especially when they no longer have use towards the end.

magic dagger Jun 20, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

0 heat it's fine

#

you can sell whatever you want

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

so Chaos gates can't spawn in styx right?

unkempt pagoda Jun 20, 2020, 1:51 AM

#

nope

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

#

also

#

why are there occasional creepy laughing sounds in Zag's room?

magic dagger Jun 20, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

somebody, I can't recall who, mentioned that the creepy noises only happen if you enter the bedchamber when Hades begins his audience
so it's probably just the shades talking in the Great Hall

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 2:30 AM

so can light of ixion show up a room after you've gotten your chaos boon

dunno how i feel about hera's bow yet

#

did a run with the razors from ares and it packed a punch when it got good hits

#

but i think i was really lucky with the items and boons

#

got +1 cast from chaos

#

full cast shot was doing 5k damage to chaos lol

but its messy to control the razors

Which Olympian is generally better with the Stygian Blade?

modern wyvern Jun 20, 2020, 3:48 AM

if youre running the crit version artemis imo

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

Nemesis aspect I'm guessing is Artemis? To max out crit chance.

unkempt pagoda Jun 20, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

depends on the aspect

sand cape Jun 20, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

i like athena for the dash on melee weapons

modern wyvern Jun 20, 2020, 3:49 AM

i pick athenas dash on everything

unkempt pagoda Jun 20, 2020, 3:49 AM

zag sword is generic enough for any

modern wyvern Jun 20, 2020, 3:49 AM

just too good

Yeah, figured. But what about the basic one?

modern wyvern Jun 20, 2020, 3:49 AM

basic one is any i think

#

you just run faster

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

Heartbreak Strike.

modern wyvern Jun 20, 2020, 3:49 AM

i would do shenanigans with ares and athenas

@modern wyvern Me too, my runs are always f*cked up without it

modern wyvern Jun 20, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

duo boon op

unkempt pagoda Jun 20, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

you run faster and dash farther, any build on it would just be safer

modern wyvern Jun 20, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

but ive never beat hades with sword

#

got 7 heat on bow and gloves

#

imma try tommorow

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 3:51 AM

#

Alternatively Heartbreak Flourish + Deadly Strike + Heart Rend. But Heartbreak Strike alone can clear anything up to 20 heat and probably well beyond that.

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 3:52 AM

#

So Aphrodite + Artemis, then.

#

Wait, Deadly Strike is Artemis, right?

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

Yes, that's from Lady Artemis. Hmm. Well, Deadly Strike alone isn't that great on it.

#

It outperforms others when you put some +% damage on it because crit damage is multiplicative.

#

Heart Rend adds +50% damage to Weak enemies for crits (which is really +50% * 3 when you crit).

#

Out of the gate, though, Heartbreak Strike does the best damage and applies Weak for 30% damage reduction.

sudden dagger Jun 20, 2020, 4:00 AM

#

Zaspect is so fast a dash build can be fun

#

Demeter's dash and look for decay

maybe three duo runs 😦

ooh

magic dagger Jun 20, 2020, 4:53 AM

if you're lucky and using low heat, you can get it in 2 runs

a zeus ares athena run

Did I discover the canonical reason why chaos shield with thunder flourish is OP?

#

Nice, lucky boons

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

question

#

which god does the duo boon trigger off of?

dry ember Jun 20, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

maybe answer

#

like which gods have duo boons with each other?

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 5:11 AM

I'm trying for lightning phalanx

dry ember Jun 20, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

Athena and Zeus give Lightning Phalanx

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

I've got thunder flourish and athena cast

#

for my next boon do I need to take zeus specifically?

dry ember Jun 20, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

you can take either athena or zues

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

or does it not matter which of the gods I take

#

sweeet

#

so then I can switch to Ath keepsake

#

🙂

#

woohoo

#

got the duo

#

now the tricky part will be getting vengeful mood

#

because I need to have a revenge boon on top of calling ares

#

🤔

sudden dagger Jun 20, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

Maybe that's why I've never gotten that one

#

Is that ares demeter?

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

no it's ares zeus

#

so I need three boons as base

#

Zeus boon, ares boon and then one of either

#

I've got the zeus boon already

#

I need the ares boon and then a revenge boon and then I need to get either ares or zeus

#

... fat odds there

This meme brought to you by my inner suffering

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

Imagine using Heat

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

XD

#

I hate TD don't get me wrong

#

But I thought it'd be fun and

#

Well it was

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

It just doesn't mesh with my playstyle whatsoever

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

everyone knows the real experts play 0 heat only smh

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

Oh no wrong build

There

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

my advice to you: grab your GY, get Charged Skewer, Aph attack

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

I hate GY can I ignore that advice?

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

And chaos flourish

magic dagger Jun 20, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

my advice to you: grab my sword, get double edge, win

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

Haha

#

NO

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

you hate GY???

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

Soon I'm actually gonna have to run more spear and railgun runs

#

I'm especially dreading railgun

#

@livid comet Yes

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:49 AM

#

how come?

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:49 AM

#

I just didn't find it all that fun to play around with at all.

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:49 AM

#

GY is so good

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:49 AM

#

ah yeah, I was like you earlier this week

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

I do enjoy how forceful it is and you feel impactful with it, the range is impeccable. I'm not calling it bad, that's incorrect, but I just don't like it on a personal level.

#

I'd pick Hera over Guan Yu any day of the week

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

Fair

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

🤔

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

GY just feels so busted to use and I love it

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

XD

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

Like no other weapon is just so good out of the gate

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

In fairness I haven't really clicked with any of the spear aspects, same with rail. Any build ideas for both?

#

@hushed ledge Excal

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

You have a fast low risk high damage long range huge projectile, consistent heals, and that's it

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

I just told you

modest urchin Jun 20, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

i actually love the default aspect for spear lol

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

You did but the thing about that is... I fear the low health. That's the truth.

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

Get GY maxed

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

there is zero risk

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

It's so much worse at lower levels

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

You will take little to no damage

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

If I am to max out aspects why do you think GY would be my first???

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

And try to learn when it is and isn't safe to farm heals

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

Probably Hera will be maxed first honestly

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

Because GY is in the gang of it, chaos, Zeus, Demeter, that all hugely benefit from being maxed

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

@livid comet Maybe, but you underestimate the sheer lack of skill I have.

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

You just mash q and point

#

And that's GY

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

XD

#

When I played with GY I barely used special

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

therein lies the issue

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

I got spin2win and that

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

Yeah that's the issue

#

Spin is not a good main attack

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

the GY's speciality isn't the spin. It's the special

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

I actually think higher damage spin is a really bad hammer for GY

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

GY hands down has the best special in the game

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

You want to only use spin when it's safe to do so and you aren't at max hp

#

And it's not that often safe except as a meaty

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

Hmmm

#

Speaking of special reminded me of that spear that allows you to charge back to your thrown spear

#

I kinda wanna try a serious run with that

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

I basically play GY as though special is my attack, spin is my special, and attack doesn't exist

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

I tried Achilles for the first time today

#

It's aggressively bad compared to GY >(

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

GY is kinda top 2 in the game tbf

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

Don't diss Achilles pls

#

I stan him

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

I'm only hatin on his spear

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

The 4th aspect I'm especially excited about is

#

Bow

#

Then railgun then shield, in that order

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

if you like bow you'll probably enjoy GY

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

I like bow...

#

With Hera aspect

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

Yeah GY is just bow

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

x)

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

man I wish there was a voice chat here so I could stream hades for you rn

#

to show you how the GY is played

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

God yes

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

Just use twitch if you have OBS set up

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

Why don't we have a VC

#

@hushed ledge I can't use Twitch, slow wifi.

hushed ledge Jun 20, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

Iirc they don't have voice chats because moderation and such

#

Because of the language rules etc

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

Fair

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

but discord stream is fine?

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

Somewhat yeah. I generally tend not to watch streams. Somehow I stream better than I can watch streams (so long as it's low quality)

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

here's how to GY in summary

#

it's practically the only worthwhile spear to invest blood into imo

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

Fair

#

I'll give it a shot, play around with a few different boons and that

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:00 AM

#

it was also the first weapon I used to get to high heat

#

sure

#

but aphrodite is recommended because she does the highest percent increase for damage on your attack and special

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 7:00 AM

#

Bah, screw damage.

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:01 AM

#

so you say

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 7:01 AM

#

XD

#

N'aw I'll probably go Aphro if I can since I love Weak

#

Aphro special, Dio attack or something of the sort. Hm, already getting ideas?

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

well, as long as you buff your special as much as possible you don't need anything else really

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

Yeah

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

additional dashes, more damage, some status curses for privileged status if you run that

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

So just full focus on that ting, gotcha

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

I like athena dash a lot

modest urchin Jun 20, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

i wanna try GY 😭

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

I do run Privileged Status

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:04 AM

#

if you get blinding flash, you get safety while you dash as well as exposed

#

which is awesome

#

and your special will inflict weak ideally so you're procing Privileged pretty much all the time

rare topaz Jun 20, 2020, 7:04 AM

#

Nice

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:04 AM

#

@modest urchin dewit

did you uninstall and reinstall?

🤔

modest urchin Jun 20, 2020, 7:06 AM

no

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:06 AM

#

or is the weapon aspect just not there?

modest urchin Jun 20, 2020, 7:06 AM

#

the guy won't give me the key word lol

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:07 AM

#

hmmm

modest urchin Jun 20, 2020, 7:07 AM

#

i did report it via f10 earlier but just gotta see i guess

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:07 AM

#

How many other spear aspects have you got?

modest urchin Jun 20, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

maxed out the zag one and lvl 3 on the second one

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:08 AM

...oh

#

you've definitely spent over 6 titan blood

#

Thonk

modest urchin Jun 20, 2020, 7:09 AM

yeah i tried asking for help and no one could figure it out lol

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 7:09 AM

I'd say try doing a reinstall and see how that goes

#

I think I can do 32 with this

willow wagon Jun 20, 2020, 9:43 AM

28 heat sheesh

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

@turbid needle Welcome to the Guan Yu Gang. You have completed your initiation

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

I'm sure you can clear 32 with it. Get some poms on your Special, though. squirtnya

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

ikr

#

needs to be level 5

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:45 AM

I didnt get the options for that in this run

#

unlucky

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

imagine a lucky run

#

amirite

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

hera+trippy shot and anything shield are also favourites

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

Nectars and poms early on in Tartarus when all you have is the Special and maybe 1-2 other boons.

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

I see

#

I usually go for more boons when i get the chance

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

question, does completing a higher heat invalidate lower heat rewards?

#

with GY, you really just need to invest into your special

#

and have some safety in terms of avoiding damage

#

very simple build 😄

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

aka get 4 dashes and divine dash dusa

#

👍

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

yep

#

GY works pretty nicely with divine strike as well

#

quick spin + divine strike = big shield of nope

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

Don't really need Divine Dash if you're not dash-striking.

#

Regular dashes already have i-frames.

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

or rather, big shield of n0 u

#

yeah but the window is smaller than divine dash iirc

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

divine dash is super comfy

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

and regular dashes don't let you ignore poison daggers

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

I don't like dashes for dmg unless I do ares or zeus tbh

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

Regular dashes i-frame through poison darts too.

#

Divine Dash is good anyway. Tidal Dash can be great, too.

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

get away from me dash

#

personal space dash

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

I've been comfy with 24-28 heat for a few runs now but the other settings scare me shadeembarassed

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

doesn't work on the Big Guy tho

#

hm.

#

I'm comfortable with 7 heat

#

😂

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

You could add Underworld Customs and get pretty much the same clear you had there. Just gotta sacrifice some boons you don't need anyway.

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

yeah that sounds good

#

I'm willing to look into TD2 bc im alraedy used to TD1

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

yeah pick up them boons so you can throw them away!

#

wait you reckon I could do 10 heat

#

I should do 10 heat

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

I think you can get away with 10 if ur already 7

#

not a huge jump

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

Not gonna clear TD2 with that time you had. Gotta either be more aggressive or get more DPS.

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

^

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

oh

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

i.e pump more poms into special

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

I meant FO2

#

I confused myself

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

also swift flourish really goes well in that build

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

TD2 is really bad for me yeah

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

makes your special almost as fast as the dash attack on spear

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

EM3 makes TD2 a lot harder. Elysium already takes long.

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

yeah I usually choke on the boss in TD 1 already

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

it's the pesky shield bros

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 9:57 AM

#

It's a lot of things.

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:57 AM

#

approval process seems very annoying

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 9:57 AM

#

Persuasion helps with that.

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 9:58 AM

#

but I already live without it

#

so its one or the other I guess

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 9:58 AM

#

I would say with Guan Yu, it doesn't matter if you get Heartbreak Flourish or Deadly Flourish room 1.

#

AP won't affect the rest of your run really all that much.

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:59 AM

#

also anyone wanna tell me why Jawless Paul looks like he's playing on fast forward in his videos

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 9:59 AM

are the extra shields from chaos aspect affected by daedalus augments or are they only affected by boons?

#

was thinking up a meme build with explosive return

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

hmmm no blue hearts I see, guess it slows the run down too much
@turbid needle probably. Damage Control is a problem on high heat for weapons with a low hit rate.

#

Extra shields aren't affected. Only the main shield is.

I felt like I lost so much time on my run today to dmg control

which isnt a problem with other builds

I just realised I can cheese my way to 10 titan blood... I'm so dumb

is there any reason to skip heat levels ? eg: im at 8 on all weapons, can i just try and do a 16 directly to unlock the 2nd statue ?

lament coral Jun 20, 2020, 11:11 AM

for the statue, yes, you can do that

do the statues do anything gameplay wise?

It doesn't.

they generally dont count as encounters, for chaos curses as well

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

managed to get 13% damage boost at FB tho so not bad

#

styx is killer for Butterfly runs however

gloomy bone Jun 20, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

Wow. Draining Cutter doesn't work with Thunder Flourish. So I never get to heal, because Thunder Flourish counts as getting the kill.

lament coral Jun 20, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

well, technically, you could get the kill if the fist's own damage is enough

#

easily verifiable by punching tiny rats in Styx

gloomy bone Jun 20, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

It doesn't seem to do that even then. I've had it trigger only twice, after dozens of Special kills

carmine rivet Jun 20, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

augh, Hermes is giving me greater recall, greater haste(+30%)and greatest reflex(+3)

#

they're all good

lament coral Jun 20, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

are you absolutely, positively sure that it was the special's own damage that finished the enemies off and not the lightning bolt?

#

or the bolt's AOE

gloomy bone Jun 20, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

Just tried in another encounter. I even hit an enemy with a sliver of health, killed it before coming back down. Nothing.

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 1:52 PM

Greatest Reflex is waaaay better than Greater Haste.

And it turns out, they're the version from Disney's Hercules

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 1:54 PM

More dashes mean more dash-strikes.

carmine rivet Jun 20, 2020, 1:55 PM

more of a special/cast wonk build rn with achilles spear. lv3 arty special and lv 3 dio cast (just got zeus' duo for cast too)

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

I never even noticed Draining Cutter doesn't work (well) with Thunder Flourish because I never pick Thunder Flourish on Malphon.

#

Well, it's still more mobility than Haste, either way. squirtnya

sudden dagger Jun 20, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

Draining cutter did not work well for me the time I had curse of special

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

That's another one I never pick.

#

It makes sense for Curse of Pain if the Doom kills them.

#

Does the Lightning Bolt proc on the same frame as the base damage of the Uppercut or after the Uppercut hits?

carmine rivet Jun 20, 2020, 2:11 PM

main osprey Jun 20, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

Yeah

#

Really well, ime

carmine rivet Jun 20, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

main osprey Jun 20, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

Ooh, nice

gloomy bone Jun 20, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

So, there's an animation I don't remember seeing, but I haven't played since shortly after the last major update. I'm using the Adamant Rail, and enemies will have like... gray droplets above their heads, as well as some shiny symbol?

#

I'm using the Zagreus Aspect.

main osprey Jun 20, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

Could you try to get a screenshot? You can link it here with an image hosting site like imgur

gloomy bone Jun 20, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

I'll try. I just got a weapon upgrade, so I'm not sure if that'll affect things. But I'll see what I can do

#

But the next room is a boss room, so it might take a bit

main osprey Jun 20, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

No worries ^.^ best of luck!

gloomy bone Jun 20, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

Welp. Haven't lost to the first boss in a while. Prooooobably should have tried to heal somehow beforehand. 12 health isn't a good thing to go into a boss room with

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

tried a GY run with approval process didnt get a single flourish... shadegrief

#

up till hydra

#

how do I reset a seed

main osprey Jun 20, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

Just die

#

That gives you a new one

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

oh yeah I should have done that

main osprey Jun 20, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

Lol

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

lmao

#

now im actually stuck

#

guess I'll do another build

main osprey Jun 20, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

Nah, just go into it and die again

#

Or that

#

Lol

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

Did you have Fated Persuasion?

gloomy bone Jun 20, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

@main osprey I can't seem to get it to happen again, though I'm not doing much different

#

I remember the animation appearing above Wretched Pests. It was like it was a status effect, but I had no Status Effect Boons

main osprey Jun 20, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Dunno then

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

nah I didnt

#

had the deactived mirror talents thing

@gloomy bone Were you inflicting Exposed? The symbol looks like sweat droplets.

thick raptor Jun 20, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

Lol, getting mad at myself for play sloppy, forgot I put +20% speed on for the first time

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

@turbid needle Routine Inspection + Approval Process is a combo I would avoid for . . . reasons you will surely have noticed. squirtnya

magic dagger Jun 20, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

routine inspection + approval process is the ultimate gamer move
it's how everyone should start their heat bounty collection

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

yeah 😂

#

I had to do it by the trial of fire

leaden hare Jun 20, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

Was having a good run into Styx and suddenly the game crashed, it seems like it lost the whole run's progression and sent me back to where I depart

lament coral Jun 20, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

have you started a new run?

#

left the courtyard?

#

if you haven't done anything, I could try to guide you through a save recovery process

leaden hare Jun 20, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

I have arrived at Styx, went into one of the tunnels and game crashed, I thought it would bring me back to Elysium or somewhere nearby, but it sent me back to the time before this run begin

#

The problem is, since I lost the whole run's data, I am not sure if F10 can help the team find what is wrong with it

lament coral Jun 20, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

do it anyway, there might be something useful in the logs

leaden hare Jun 20, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

😔 Thank you, mysterious crash that takes away thousands of my darkness
glad that I'm not doing a 32 heat run

lament coral Jun 20, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

so do you wanna recover the save or not?

#

the game makes a backup when you enter a room, it just doesn't automatically load it, instead reloading the save from before you started the run

leaden hare Jun 20, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

😔 I have already started another run... so I guess not
Just let me sulk for a while and everything would be fine

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

I came to an important realization I cannot deal with the spear guys when I have a spear myself

lament coral Jun 20, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

their spears are longer

turbid needle Jun 20, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

esp when they are bruisers

cunning urchin Jun 20, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

It's a bit of meme that every spear enemy is a better spear user than the god trained by Master Achilles himself.

random hull Jun 20, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

Zagreus isn't the type to follow instructions to a tee.

covert galleon Jun 20, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

how do you get the other special keepsake? like the summon skelly one?

knotty rock Jun 20, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

You have to give him nectar until you can't anymore, and then he'll tell you shortly after what you need to do

#

@covert galleon

#

Also, only the spear and sword currently have a 4th hidden aspect in-game right now, correct?

#

(for anyone to answer)

tepid ridge Jun 20, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

In the beta ||3|| more were added. When the blood price update drops (and currently in the beta branch) ||all weapons but the fists|| will have legendary aspects.

knotty rock Jun 20, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

Oh ok sweet

#

I'll save my ||titan blood|| then

stark musk Jun 20, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

Is this the right forum to ask questions about game mechanics?

tepid ridge Jun 20, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

Sure, assuming you aren’t playing the beta branch. Then that would be #beta-discussion-june20

#

I believe

stark musk Jun 20, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

I have not touched anything when downloading the game, so I assume I'm not on the Beta branch

tepid ridge Jun 20, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

Yea then you’re in the released version. 👍 Nighty Night update I think

stark musk Jun 20, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

Exactly, honestly didn't know there was a Beta version. Alright, I can see some spoiler tags. If I am referencing weapons and boons, do I need to set them as spoilers?

magic dagger Jun 20, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

not in this channel, no

tepid ridge Jun 20, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

I just used those tags because someone asked a gameplay question that had both a released and beta answer

unkempt pagoda Jun 20, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

if there's a significant amount of story involved, then maybe

magic dagger Jun 20, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

it would be polite to not name the final boss, but other than that, you're probably good

stark musk Jun 20, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

Alright. I have two question then for you. 1) Does the ||Aspect of Hera|| interact properly with True Shot (Artemis Boon for Cast). I am unable to gain criticals using it. and 2) It appears the Bow's special can proc Thunder Florish (Zeus Special Boon) multiple times, but not using the ||Aspect of Chiron||. Is that just me seeing something wrong or is that meant to be the case?

magic dagger Jun 20, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

Zeus special has a very short cooldown that prevents it from working on every chiron hit

unkempt pagoda Jun 20, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

for 1) that's either a bug or you haven't used it enough to see crits

#

the only thing hera changes is where the cast is shot from

stark musk Jun 20, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

@magic dagger Danm, alright. I hoped that wasn't the case, since I leveled the Aspect specifically for that build. And @unkempt pagoda I am about 7 mins deep without a single crit. Just seems weird

unkempt pagoda Jun 20, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

for 2) the cooldown was deliberately implemented after chiron's release bc of how broke it was

stark musk Jun 20, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

Boo! Kidding, yeah it does a ton of damage especially with that legendary boon

tepid ridge Jun 20, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

I remember that crit behavior was discussed here before but just bad luck on crit rolls was never fully ruled out in that case afaik

stark musk Jun 20, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

Alright. I will finish the run then and try to just check if I'm just getting unlucky or something might be janky

#

I've completely fallen in love with the game though. 45 hours in and it is such a treat.

#

Even gotten pretty speedy on some of the runs aswell.

magic dagger Jun 20, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

same.
458 hours in and it is such a treat

stark musk Jun 20, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

I only found the game recently

#

like 3? or 4 weeks ago.

#

But it is gorgeous

#

So looking forward to the June? update

knotty rock Jun 20, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

I’m 35 hours in

#

Finally beat it with every weapon and now I’m on like 2 heat with most of the weapons (I’m not sure if heat is really a spoiler)

stark musk Jun 20, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

I've gotten down to a 17 mins run with like 4 or 5 heat.

#

@unkempt pagoda I'm seeing crits now. Do you know if multiple casts are put into one, does it count as a single damage source with 1 chance to crit or does it still use 3 instances of damage with 3 chances to crit?

unkempt pagoda Jun 20, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

each cast is a separate instance of damage

stark musk Jun 20, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

Alright, so if all 3 are used in one shot, each seperate cast in that shot have a chance to crit seperately

#

Thanks!

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

legit the gain hp boons for fist suck a lot

#

but otherwise they'd be broken I guess?

#

might as well have a different boon then that doesn't have to be undertuned because of fists high attack speed

stoic thicket Jun 20, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

Which one you mean?

#

The hammer?

#

The healing hammer for the fist only works on the special.

frank tide Jun 20, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

I find the leeching uppercut to actually be okay

stoic thicket Jun 20, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

It's ridiculously good in the small Styx rooms with the tons of rats.

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

I guess?

#

it's not worth giving up say, breaching cross or rolling knuckle

stoic thicket Jun 20, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

It's probably not.

#

Although truth be told healing in this game always, always comes at a cost.

livid comet Jun 20, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

except for the darkness healing

#

that's free

#

and Cthonic vitality
