@soft mountain you will quickly unlock something that allows you to see the boon requirements in the menu
🍷
For real?
aspect of chiron: dio special with aphro attack
could go Arty dash
get all their duo boons
ares cast/call if you're feeling lucky
and get the ares/Dio boon
m a x i m u m h a n g o v e r
i'm not a high heat player at all
but base bow kinda requires a hammer for me to be viable
mmm yeah pretty much tbh
big agree
peek a boo ares special/ dionysus special shotgun
it feels pretty hammer dependant, but also hammers on bow feel like a much bigger spike in damage
special feels pretty garbo without status pacts
counterpoint: athena everything
seriously deflect is bonkers
ye
athena everything yeah
"death is inevitable"
athena: allow me to introduce myself
last run i did yesterday i saw athena dash common and athena special epic
guess what i took
lmao
athena dash is disgustingly good for a common
its like the only dash thats immediately survivability 100
the rest are fairly underwhelming tbh
oh btw
Poseidon dash run only
no thats real
i mean i wasn't mad at all
the particular event happens this one time
arent both of his legendaries weird gimmick ones
this sold for 425 
every time you want that legendary again you have to go fishing for it, just like any other
i can already feel fishing will be the last fates thing i finish
ye Poseidon boons suck
i had the most poggers run recently
his boons that give u stuff are better than his combat boons imo
with the funny gun and 5 explosion special
the problem was i only ever got 1 special boon the entire run
guess whose it was
aight, I suicided cuz poseidon was so garbo with lucifer
literally 1 hit knocked them out of radius and they took 100 damage and killed me
lmao
Poseidon on Lucy is garbo unless you somehow manage to get the Zeus duo
the theseus minotaur fight tooks years and i lost last minute
then it's a bit less garbo
its literally ocean bounty and thats it
and make base encounters ez
nah, aphro does
does she?
aphro has the highest percentage iirc
oh wait Poseidon is the same as aphro?
weak is mad good too
yee
and she has good utility unlike mr fishing point
then she gets like
weak synergises with everything under the sun
aphrodite's duos are insane
like all of them?
except the one with poseidon 😄
a T2 that makes weak stronger, and another T2 that makes weak-afflicted enemies take more damage
queen, we have no choice but to stan
youre correct and you should say it
the ares/aphro duo is only good for keeping priv status up if you're using just those two gods
otherwise it's high-key underwhelming ngl
yeah i had a run with it recently and lost lol
i fished for it the entire game bc it sounded mad schnice
uhhh I wonder how it interacts with dire misfortune
mmm actually nvm pretty that's obvious lmao
yeet
where i had weak on spear attack with the 3 stab daedalus boon
i flawlessed the minotaur, went to eat pizza with the game still open, came back and my comp was asleep which instantly crashed the game
then i loaded it back up and i was back in base
rip
im not ok
you can recover your save file after a crash
i have 2 dollar
ok
uhhhhh
There was a post in #h1-tech-support that was pinned, but it isn't there anymore
hang on im getting pictures of my cat
dope
poseidon on rail, why would you think thats good without the shotgun hammer variant o.o
okay basically you wanna go to your game's save file location, sort the saves by date changed,
lmao its not even letting me post pics
there's gonna be save1, save1_backup, etc
rip
OH YEAH you can't upload pics
😔
its okay i will just assume your cat is to be loved like all others
ill describe her
shes black with her belly and toes white
???
i just got told off without saying a swear word
rip
so yeah find the save files, sort then by change date, and pick the one most recently changed, and change its name to the base save file name (which j think is just save1.stuff)
lol 1st time i have seen the bot for someone else other than me
oh wait is dam a swear word here
@onyx folio look in #h1-tech-fixes fit recovering your save
could be, but dam is in Hades with the furies
the bot censored me many times before 😔
the n after dam
ik
oh tru
the bot really said
aight, got zeus on lucifer
congrats
what else should I get
infinity chamber mebbe
got it
and just go ham on Zeus boons
btw to get ur save file back check #h1-tech-fixes
try to get his legendary 👀
try get the jolted boon and lighting bounce boon
I used the zeus keepsake, what should I switch to
I'm having a lot of trouble fighting redacted with fists; For some reason with that weapon specifically I keep getting hit partway through dashes, and I feel like I'm just not understanding something about I frames or whatnot. Anyone got a frame data reference or a tip for me?
and put all poms into jolted
replace everything with poseidon push build
I've got no boons other than zeus atk
every other build is trash
welllllll @onyx folio lets not start a war here abt the best builds
or funny blade rift build which doesnt work
blade rift is op
blade rift looks cool and does nothing
@jade rover just get used to the fight itll take time
youre wrong
don't at me
@narrow rampart
you've made an enemy for life
good
I am used to the fight; I've perfected it with bow and aegis before. Fists are the only one that I struggle with.
its a war i intend to win
yeah i have stuff thats actually good that i dont need legendary boons to win with
eg. athena anything
i learned that whenever it shows he's gonna spin, just dash the second it starts
ruthless reflex is noce with fists
no
With just Athena dash
since you can dodge alot
NO
athena? defaced, debunked, discontinued, in shambles
With just Ares dash
And then talk to me
sommeone did a run with only poseidon dash if i aint mistaken
I DID
no i cant do a run in general
ITS OP
im 20 hours in and i havent won yet
I have a screenshot somewhere
I have video evidence ^.^
lol
oh
:3
i just have the taste of a veteran
ok zeph we'll have a truce
now i wanna do a dio dash only run
until you git gud
poseidon cast or flourish?
wow araki ported dio into this game?
🤔
cast
uhhhh cast
on luci
his flourish would just ruin things for you
his flourish is so bad
bounce enemies away constantly
I'm not using special at all
youre playing it wrong :^)
lul
yeah just put the Special down as enemies are spawning
special mad good
athena flourish is good on luci since anything close to the bomb just gets deflected
athena flourish is good with everyone wym
should I reroll?
Lucy Athena flourish big brain
reroll?
got call, cast or special from posei
yah you're still baby you'll get that later
mirror talent
oh yeah, spoilers I guess
lol yea
oh sick
anyway, is it worth rerolling poseidon?
which reroll are you talking about dagg
FP or FA?
no just pick one of them
call probs
don't reroll, it'd be a waste
aight
go either call or cast
imo infinte ammo trash on luci
besides filling up the tier 1 boons will help you get more t2 offered
poseidon special is my pick for like top 5 garbo boons in the game lol
pog
infinite ammo is trash unless if you go all in with zeus
ye
Or! Sea Storm Super Soaker
lucy attack is trash in general
yeah poseidon special has its place
i might pick it up if i literally ever go for a poseidon room on purpose
dagg if you end up getting artemis, support fire would work wonders
whats the general consensus on crit for fast but weak attacks
the chance is high enough that itll proc a lot for her other boons
not v good methinks
oh btw a noob question for u guys
kinda makes Hunter's mark useless imo
do we agree that the damage formula is
but yeah she seems more of a big boy deeps kind of boon giver
*big girl
dio dash yee or nay?
nay
if i get a poseidon buff and a chaos buff on special
they add up right?
god
oo
big girl deeps doesnt hit as hard
aphro: "allow me to introduce myself, dearest"
CALL
lmao
Dio call is POGGERS
yeah dio call is nuts
one of the best tbh
its not artemis' so its good
(artemis' call is bad)
is there anything worse than using Artemis greater call
and none of the arrows critting
using aphro call and have it land on a skull
useful once a fight maybe
is worse
totally worth
i only use athena or ares calls
athena and ares are busted tbh
bruh Ares call with curse of drowning is mad good
i'm picky on calls in tartarus but i pick any one if i don't have one by hydra
those moments of invulnerability are sweet
ares got the "lol 10% more damage common" and doom is decent
even artemis
athena is just optimal forever
Pop your casts and call, they do the damage while you are impervious/spinning
what are ur guys thoughts on artemis?
like her boons or just her in general
her other boons are very solid outside of those
both
best girl
artemis ez s tier
easiest one to face vs theseus and trial
best girl
who is best character whole game
me
hypnos
like SSS tier?
cerberus
only one answer is there
an S for every head
its me

Bouldy
ah, the strong and silent type
damn is allowed???
bouldy and only bouldy
lol
discord bot be like "cat is a slur ://///"
attack is usually bad
depends on what weapon you're using, tbh
arty special sucks on bow, for instance
but really good on attack
arty special is AMAZING on gun, especially if you're doing a rocket build
do you have a duo lined up dagger
yeah artemis special is basically always nuts
get the rocket and 5 bombs hammers
also
dude can you give it a rest
you'll unlock weapon aspects later that really like arti on attack
alright
chur
havent experimented with aspects much
yeah, hands down
I still wish there was a way to try out an aspect before buying it
they would be if i could beat a run consistently now that all the zone 1 for each weapon are done
see I'd say "don't upgrade them unless you like the base versions'
quiting game
:')
wew
no purchases are counted
But then I remember how bad chaos aspect at base level is
but aight, I'm gonna take spear
yeah the skelly cheese works
well i bought all aspects anyways
i tried it out also
lol
gamer alert
spent all my resources on Zeus aspect smh
nice
On my older save
i barely use shield tbh
zeus aspect
This new save is untainted
oh I DO have a duo lined up
only chaos
chaos aspect is fun but that's it
I'll try out conch shell then
4th aspect is pretty gud to
4th aspect is weird
gun aspects look insane
gun least favourite weapon
it made me ANGERY when i found out that arty/Ares duo doesn't work on shield 4
gun is a point and click adventure which means i find it less fun than every other option
lmao
its like my least favourite part of bastion brought back
wait how was that not censored
me saying bastion has flaws?
gun is a point and click adventure which means i find it less fun than every other option
@onyx folio just did a run where I had the upgrade to seeker bullets, by then it was just click no more point
mm do you have privileged status?
yep
razor shoals, then
knockback is only on cast tho
imo hydraulic might
that's fine, probs still better than hydraulic still
yeah fair
really?
yep
see problem is Lucy is slow with dealing damage
hydraulic doesn't go well against bosses
like 1.5x boost aint bad
also that
yeah but priv gives me 1.5 all the time
unless you big brain instant kill like a god
i dont know what privilege is except that ive got it irl
Hydraulic gives more damage than Priv when it's up, and obviously stacks with it
but hydraulic won't last long enough to make that much of a difference imo, especially on Lucy
haha zeph can't relate
😔
which cast mirror upgrade do you have on rn?
Uhhh is that the one that recharges?
yep
perfect, easy reapplication of razor shoals
see piercing is nice for quality of life
it's overall the better talent for cast
but triple beam will def deal a lot more damage IF you use it as a shotgun
unless you can knock your casts out
yep
hmmm, I think imma try triple beam
noice
I'd go triple too, personally
it's especially good if you manage to hit more than an enemy with the beams
You'd have multiple Zeus attack bouncing around
;-;
one shows up in Tartarus or Asphodel, and the other Elysium
ah
Unless you skip hammers in tartarus and asphodel
me always taking the cant see future paths option in chaos 👀
Then you'll have 2 appear in elysium
is there an emoji thats the eye emoji but its crossed out
thats what i was trying to represent
also if you're missing a hammer, one can show up in Styx when you get there
That too
thats preddy poggers
there's ALSO the anvil of the fates
i only ever get the extra damage to armor ones anyway
bruv try other ones out
ah
ones that are just "extra dps sometimes lol" are snzzzzz
tripleshot spear was so not helpful lol
triple shot spear is WEIRD
damn zeph how's it feel to be constantly oppressed by a bot
busted
i thought i was being slick
i swear like a sailor but only the ones that dont actually suck and are bad
emphasis
understandable
let zagreus say f word
fmurder
one of the 2
that sounds like something teen zagreus would say around hades
you dont control me dad
oh, to be constantly accused of committing murder by tisiphone
^ the dream
😔
I much prefer Tisiphone calling ||zag by name||
im mad gay for zag rn tbh
the only anime dude with heterochromia i dont want to throw hands with
this doesnt belong in this chat or really anywhere i just have to share it with someone
and church is closed
ty for sharing that with us
where's the meme comic where you're in a store reaching for peach jam or something and Zagreus reaches for the same jar and u accidentally touch hands
cuz. me.
tfw zag will never offer me a bottle of nectar

why even LIVE
facts
zag: offers me a bottle of nectar
me: anxiously scrounging around for a keepsake to give back to him
youve unlocked: pocket lint
its equally as useful as bone hourglass
bone glass
sss tier
they had to patch it out of the game
and replace it with its awful little brother

me, the littlest of my siblings: 👁️ 👄 👁️
im also the little brother and i can confirm its correct
but ur right and u should say it
powerful
@livid comet sorry for the ping but how's the run going 👀
ty oracle
bless u
pretty poor
rip
as soon as i enter the elysium boss room im like resigned to my fate
ngl hades felt mad ez compared to the duo
oh well, it was just for the prophecy
i only died like 2 hits from winning bc i started the boss fight with 19 hp
literally never have to touch the rail ever again
yeah king move
guys can you remind me if REDACTED's urns damage you? not just stun?
like iirc for 30 damage?
yeah, 30 damage
I think they count as traps, so they deal more when you have that one pact active
also congrats on not having anything to do with rail anymore, dagg
god i wish that were me
rail attack in general is incredibly boring to use imo
unless if you get spread fire
then it's incredibly fun to use
i literally just use rail special
rail special is for big boys
you gotta be out of your mind if you want me to use that point n click stuff
on a touchpad?
in 2020?
right, thanks haha
no!
welp
this isnt how youre supposed to play the game!
autocorrect out here making me look rude smh
the only reason I won was because of clouded judgement, dio call and hermes call charge up boon
and the zeus boon where you get a damage buff after call
schnice
can i airdrop you my version of the game so you can do rail for me too thanks
i still got ambrosia to collect
Lucy sucks because you can't get neither spread fire nor rocket Special hammers
airdrop it here i am a masochist
god gauge is per hit right
damn dassa lotta epics
bc blade rift and demeter cast didnt seem like they did anything
yup
but I remember picking up Demeter cast specifically to charge my god gauge faster
it's ok zeph im also too busy staring at zag to notice the god gauge fillin up
okay i am actively depriving myself of much needed sleep i should stop that
okay consider: controller
You could go for a controller and mouse
It's very viable
what ungodly combination is this
???
h
who are you
how do u use it
I thought it was super weird as well
how many arms ya got
But its actually pretty smooth
how does one
cackle
pop
You can post pictures using a third party software like gyazo or imgur
yeah you can link pics but not directly upload them
please
omg I forgot that this run was also my first fish from void
sorry that was my spear stabbing you in the ribs
👌
mati are cute
@onyx folio I suggest going to #off-topic-discussion if the conversation is falling into off-topic 
ah yeah sorry bout that
oh whoops
good point
cat vid in gen
fists
zagspect?
fists are great with Ares attack, especially if you get Athena dash and merciful end
attack probably?
Usually attack
any could work but zag aspect probs best
yeah Ares on attack and Athena on dash
artemis special, ares attack, athena dash
4th aspect fists work great with Ares though
bleh
or athena everything
mmm deflect is very good with attack, but it's redundant if you already have dash methinks
not touching new gloves, not a huge fan
BRUH ON MY NEW SAVE
Used up most of my titan blood
Still haven't gotten GY
I AM ANGERY
rly, no atk speed boost 😦 zagspect fists why
I want the new fist aspect 😭
||Gilg|| is kinda... disappointing?
yeah the no attack speed boost makes me sad, but apparently it was always bugged to never have it
frost flourish or frost strike on exagryph(also have triple bomb)?
hmmmm
not me but essentially what I use
hand pics
strike
Imma try that next tim e I play
Sorry @magic dagger I needed a reference
frost doesnt seem that amazing imo
yeah strike
hold dash and attack together for wolverine cosplay
frost and then get that one boon that explodes with 10 stacks
i built around the cast bc its a gimmick but even then it kind of didnt do much since i couldnt increase cast damage much
no chaos boons/ares 10% damage/frost on cast one
😔
did get higher accuracy on cast + damage which didnt do that much on its own
think itd be stupider if i had the other mirror upgrade for cast
yeah Demeter cast requires some real setting up to work
since i use the auto retrieve 1 cast one
but since it doesnt latch onto people for demeter the other one should be better
omg this link lmao
we are all swear
okay
01/01/1970 is a defaut value in IT
Ah
i wish it were 1 year earlier
me, a software engineering student, just finding that out:
hm yes d&d japanese and work/learning
but sometimes its 1970
what do?
part of a balanced breakfast
what's your build thus far dagg
addled strike is super good
itss called the unix epoch but yah
i think attack does work on dash strike yea
Either the first or the second
great little hurdle to run into
both would work well methinks
I think I've found my new fave build. Adamant rail with Rocket Bomb+Cluster Bomb and artemis Deadly Flourish. Stand in melee range and one-shot everything
aight
just depends on which curse you can tolerate more
chaos boons just give more numbers to the dash strike one
Strike probably is better, actually
yeah i had that like 2 runs ago vhy
just with poseidon special
rip
instead of literally anything else
Yeah it's hard to find sometimes. Just got under 18 min for the first time with that
noice
never use rail personally
good choice
exquisite
im impressed
the flavour
finally found a build where bow is useable today
i can feel each individual tastebud dialate
what's da build
i wish bow started not like that
the boon that turns your cast into the stun cloud + lightning damage is insane, i every time i got to the end i had this combo
attack is slow and unflexible and special is lol
i feel like itd be hype rail if it werent for the early game
flurry shot + hermes attk speed boost + any good attack boon
the boon that turns your cast into the stun cloud + lightning damage is insane, i every time i got to the end i had this combo
you can get the ice wine boon with those too for maximum o
Pog
Today I found out that Minotaur Rush is lowkey busted
went Artemis earlier and got some good combo boons
Artemis is best girl
is true
ur right and you should say it
man
Demeter aspect fists, arty special, aphro dash, Dio attack, with their three Duo boons
name a better combo ill wait
ok hot take incoming
me and mcdonald fry
aspect of beowulf is garbo
yeah like the food they sell in burger king
just like BK fries
oof
Demeter aspect fists, arty special, aphro dash, Dio attack, with their three Duo boons
name a better combo ill wait
@void fjord
man Beowulf was so disappointing 😭
man Beowulf was so disappointing 😭
Did we use the same weapon?
dont spoil beowulf please i havent read it yet
HOPE YOU DIDNT READ THAT
yeah i shall
its only been a thousand years at least
||shield was the only weapon to not have a cast aspect, so when it got Beowulf I was excited||
||then it tried beo and I honest to god almost cried||
why beo garbo
the best combo for demeter aspect (for me at the very least) aphro special, zeus or demeter attack, demeter dash, zeus or ares or dio cast, athena call. no duos needed, no legendaries needed though demeter legendary would be very pog
I did ||charged flight + charged shot, the former being decent but charged shot was an awful choice||
idk what they changed
I actually liked ||charged shot on beo, almost made it like I was playing Hera||
they decresed the damage buff from 500% to 200%
yeah
used beo recently and it was better than new chaos
that made me sad because I didn't try it before the nerf
shot was bad
New chaos makes me sad
New Chaos is alright
dont remember what changed w him
I miss old but this isn't bad at all
Old was better methinks
im lost
hi lost
damnit
im dad
Im dad
i just did
you cheated not only the game but yourself
sue me
syblix is cancelled
oh
youre fine but youre on thin ice
Twi and I are the same person
I don't get the logic behind new chaos. All other shield specials are specifically made for you not to aim because you aim with attack. Now you just aim both on attack and on special which just makes things tedious.
dad
Old chaos was extremely broken not that it was a problem though. I definitely prefer the old chaos more than the new one, but it isn't bad
boogie woogie woogie
ohhh chaos aspect
yeah
I thought people were talking about the boons
skdhahhdahd
I was like, what changed
apologies
skdhahdahd yourself
akiosjduq8eujajsdoj
go to ur room zeph
youre breaking the rules in like 3 ways rn im impressed
lul
im just gonna... move to gen discussion
im awful at remembering to check which chat im in
Old chaos was extremely broken not that it was a problem though. I definitely prefer the old chaos more than the new one, but it isn't bad
@small stirrup new chaos crams you into repetitive attack sequences because the special activates through charge. Therefore you always charge > end up behind all enemies > do 180 > throw shields. Now the routine registers in your mind way more significantly.
sorry king i shall depart
Old chaos was also a repetitive sequence of charge and special
yes, but the special throw was borderline instinctual
Old or New?
old
Agreed
like you didn't have to think about it. Now you have to think about it, but it's always the same thought process.
I do like it
It's not bad, but last night I tried and couldn't finish the run bc of how boring it felt 
delta chamber or explosive fire?
Many people here find delta chamber unreliable
oh k ty
Don't let us stop you from trying it though! 
Hiya!
Just 1 question
Is ur damage meant to fall of like crazy once you hit elysium
I feel like I'm doing 0 damage and every fight turns into a slog
It is meant to get harder
Elysium is a vibe check
bonk
elysium is the hardest part of the game imo
if for nothing else then just the boss fight
every new zone should feel like somewhat of a fall-off
ok but yeah do try out delta chamber! if at the very least just to get the fated list prophecy
I feel like I'm taking the right boons and all
theseus just says you didnt hit me for three years when im clearly stabbing the heck out of him
and minotaur be schmooving
My fingers actually ached like hell because it took a hella long time to kill thesius and Minotaur guy
yeah they actually take forever
Had to mash buttons the entire time
Ah yes
probs my least favourite part bc you need to have actual boon combos by that point or youre screwed
The heroes taking time
maybe change tactics. Find hammers that change input
Best build to fight those two imo is an Ares cast build, or a Dio cast build
Something I never relate to now
you could just get unlucky with hammers/boon drops and lose
I'd imagine it'd be easier on the hands if I played with my pro controller
Im on switch
and since its 3 whole areas and 2 boss fights in it feels like ive lost an hour each time
your boy just wants a w
For starters to get gud with heroes is to understand Asterius' moveset
yeah minotaur is super ez
Annoying
He is very well telgraphed
yeah asteroid is the big deal
take theseus out and itd be balanced lol
Asteroid 
Asteroid,,,,
I mean he exposes his back whenever he finishes his throw
Like literally shows it to you
asterius takes up most of the arena space with his attacks, which makes it hard to maneuver around Theseus's weaknesses
wtf is asteroid
ASTERIUS
I persume
It was autocorrect
yeah once gods aid comes in the fight is way easier
Ruining my reputation again
its just so damn hard to wear his health down
The heroes can be killed under 15 seconds consistently
Vorime killed them under 5 seconds
bruh
yeah
||need companions tho which I don't have on my new save file
||
