Ooooo
And he’s actually really nerdy about his scythe
“You know these are actually terrible as weapons? It’s true look it up”
gritty dagger
nah i doubt it, we've already got teasers at Thana in the game
sharp berry
or even "I'm sorry Zagreus if I look threatening to you (very haughty, prim voice), really it's just an efficient farm implement, that's all"
damn]
amber canyon
Its definitely Thanatos
Hes got his sword and everything
I just hope his scythe doesnt mean we wont get to use a scythe
normal talon
i want a scythe so bad
sharp berry
wonder what the boon effect would be
limpid copper
Zagreus is Specter Knight confirmed
normal talon
exactly
gritty dagger
The blood he spills with the scythe becomes the cloak
normal talon
after getting hit enough times, the cloak becomes a death defiance
sharp berry
maybe a life-drinker passive?
normal talon
i feel like in this game they're trying to avoid lifesteal abilities
gritty dagger
yeah it'd be pretty OP no matter what I think
normal talon
theres' just so many enemies
gritty dagger
Maaaaaybe you heal if you overkill enemies?
normal talon
i think that'd still be too abusable
sharp berry
decaying blood shields?
normal talon
oooh
normal talon
what about blood that fills a meter that creates a special attack
like the scythe extends out and then does a giant swing in a circle
depending on how much blood is in it
gritty dagger
a whole new mechanic/resource like that would be a little iffy just for one god
normal talon
then i'd want all of the weapons to have a super
sharp berry
true
normal talon
sword alternate ability when
sharp berry
hmm
gritty dagger
maybe if you kill an enemy you gain buffs
Like, kill an enemy with your special and your special does +20% damage for Xs
sharp berry
interesting
normal talon
like have a guard/counter
sort of like how the shield blocks projectiles in bull rush
sharp berry
thing is, it's the personification of death, would have to be something related to killing enemies, rathner than mitigating dmg
imo
normal talon
it absorbs the energy from the block and buffs the sword a bit
maybe with faster swings or a guaranteed critical on the next attack
normal talon
yeah probably
normal talon
same!!
sharp berry
guess will wait 4 the 12th
stable hawk
can't wait for thanatos and the rest of the furies
flint bluff
sooo thanatos and fury sisters?
digital crag
the more i look at this the more i wonder if it's kronos
since he was the harvest titan and also thanatos isn't traditionally depicted with a scythe
i don't know where the 'grim reaper with scythe' originated from but it's not greek
amber canyon
Kronos doesnt have a sword, however
digital crag
when you gotta thresh grain at 7 but murder on the battlefield at 8
cold canopy
oops i used my sword for the grain and my scythe for the enemies
amber canyon
I mean using your blade on the grain is efficient
You dont have to sword it afterwards
digital crag
changed my mind, can't be kronos, not buff enough
kronos would be mega rrrrrripped that silhouette is too slender
sharp berry
just a thought, none of the cthonic gods really give you proper random boon, like
Chaos does, but he's in his own realm
Will you interact with him in the same vein as Zues, Posiedon, Dionysus etc.? Thoughts?
digital crag
chaos is they/their

i'm just saying. they have pronouns right there, in the game itself

Im thinking either an addition to megs boss fight

LMAO that "ending"
I love the way they managed to tell you that the story wasnt finished without breaking immersion AND while being funny
shy socket
I wonder if they'll keep the sub-plot of hell not being finished in the final release, or if its a boon for those of us that accessed early
visual laurel
I've been wondering about that too! same with the "war"...maybe that was just an excuse for why thanatos and the furies (if indeed that's who's coming next update) weren't around for this part of early access, and it won't be in the final game...

the war was the float argument

Is there a way to give Megaera some ambrosia?

Yep, she's been back a few times, just always talking to another character.

she's a busy gal unfortunately 😔

well it does look like a huge farming scythe soooo
limber sage
My friends and I are amused by the idea of the plot being that Zag is going through all that... And then he finds out towards the end that the reason Hades is trying to hard to get him to stop is because he just needs to wait a few months for Persephone to come back, lol.
latent condor
lmao
runic terrace
YES
latent condor
(anyway to get the final end i'd say you need to win a full run without any darkness)
limber sage
Though, I've been wondering... Why doesn't Zag start asking more people for information about his mother? Like, couldn't he ask the Olympian gods? Or Chaos? 🤔
latent condor
ney
frozen jolt
chaos knows, i think
frozen jolt
but they also said the gods might not help him if they knew the true reason or something like that, iirc
latent condor
and the olympian might have a problem with persephone so that why he don't ask them
^ purrfect recall
limber sage
Hmm, I forogt about that.
latent condor
but i hope at some moment olympian will know about that
just to see the mess created
limber sage
And speaking of hooded placeholder portraits, I hope we get Charon or Orpheus today!
Especially Orpheus. I wanna see if they made him look like a cinnamon bun or not.
latent condor
i hope this update will come with thanatos as the third zone's boss
latent condor
or thanatos as new boon set and the furies being the third boss
(or the furies rotating with meg at each boss fight)
maiden cairn
i kinda suspected furies would be alternate first floor bosses
yea
that would be nice
limber sage
I dunno, when he speaks, he sounds very soft. And his interactions with Zag are cute. So in my head, he looks kind of someone who needs to be protected.
latent condor
that would be quite good yeah
rare torrent
The Gods, as much as we love them, are selfish and angry. They are jealous and quick to wrath. If Zagreus told them the reason he wanted to espace was to find Persephone they'd be wrathful.

Artemis number 1 Goddess Waifu
rapid zinc
No! She's ace and/or lesbian and we support that. She's the cool cousin who gets you an airsoftgun for your birthday and teaches you how to throw an axe
amber canyon
Actually, she is at most bi
More likely she only cares about Orion
Who was definitely a guy
somber gull
Hot take: we’re all allowed to headcanon the characters as the identity we think is best because the devs nor the game have confirmed their official one
we all get to have our fun in the way we want to
rapid zinc
Fair
amber canyon
I mean, correct me if Im wrong
But doesnt Artemis actually allude to Orion in one of her lines?
amber canyon
I vaguely remember that, but its been a while since I didnt just skip through all of the old gods dialogue
limpid grotto
The reason why Artemis is often read as ace is because she was all about chastity and her hunters had to take a vow of chastity as well
But of course there's a couple of stories where she shows some romantic interest
amber canyon
Well, her being Ace with Orion being the exception sounds reasonable
limpid grotto
Ye
astral swan
Sounds Demi?
limpid grotto
Actually I think I found a video on this
rapid zinc
That's why I hc her as a lesbian, bc she has an entire gathering of female hunters with "no boys" as one of the only rules
limpid grotto
astral swan
I read somewhere that chastity back then meant no men/women, so women/women was fair game? I dunno how true that is tho
rapid zinc
The concept of chastity/virginity is a social construct, but that's better not gone into here
amber canyon
I mean in her case it had some reasoning behind it
Though ironically, she was also a goddess linked to childbirth at some point

who knows maybe it's easier
i can finish the game with the sword just fine

hydra wasnt a problem
it was just boon dependent

neither of thos really damage oriented
zinc lion
yeaaaaaa
rapid zinc
Athena and poseidon give the highest % damage boons out of any God
rapid zinc
Yeah
maiden cairn
ye i suspect as actual effective dps is concerned
zinc lion
both of those are bad for the Hydra
maiden cairn
boons that give you more tools to do damage outsrip high %
rapid zinc
Deflect is amazing for the hydra, if you can time it right
rapid zinc
If you deflect his entire wave of fangs, it's a noticeable amount of damage
zinc lion
ah yeah
rapid zinc
And it does more than that if you have enemy damage up with heat
atomic forge
or purposely get hit
maiden cairn
idk what my problem is with bow, the heat im using isnt even making hydra more difficult
rapid zinc
It's why Athena dash is my favorite in the game; I forced myself to get good at it so I could get that sweet 400 damage deflect on wretches
atomic forge
and watch him kill himself
atomic forge
athena dash is so slow tho
maiden cairn
i took athena dash a lot of times trying to practice it
atomic forge
i had a ton of damage reduct from aphro
maiden cairn
i just hate it
zinc lion
I hate the Athena dash
atomic forge
same
maiden cairn
well the invuln chains pretty well with the 3 dashes
you can basically zigzag through combat with the athena bubble up the whole time
the timing just feels bad
zinc lion
What is his? the Lightning strike?
maiden cairn
dio dash is decent
atomic forge
lightning strike, strike when struck, and chain
aphro dash is fine too
if you need space and a debuf
zinc lion
I really love the Ares throw
atomic forge
never used that XD
zinc lion
if you get 3 and you get the Dmg up for it and the range up for it
it's doing like 75 dmg a second per blade
you throw 3 the go for a bit
it's wonderful
zinc lion
^^^^^
But it's worth it
Then just always get boons from Gods that hate each other
then 2 boons in one room
atomic forge
yeah
you wanna kill your tv or computer screen
Get dio
get Adamant rail
get the5 bomb upgrade
zinc lion
ohhhhh
maiden cairn
hmmm
atomic forge
go to ||asphodel|| and watch your frame rate drop
maiden cairn
imma take a break from losing with bow
zinc lion
I'll have to try that
maiden cairn
run some dio trinket rail
atomic forge
also works with the dio cast
rapid zinc
I've been preaching Dio cast + Triple Bomb since day 1
limber sage
I've had no performance issues with Dio cast, personally.
atomic forge
it breaky my entire frame rate XD
limber sage
Actually, the only times I ever see lag is if I run into that vision impairing smoke sometimes.
atomic forge
especially at||hydra||
limber sage
Actually, now that I think of it, I may have had a lag spike or two during Hydra head slams, too.
Especially if multiple of them are doing it at once.
burnt venture
what are these terms your useing
atomic forge
kismet is not using spoiler talk
burnt venture
like i been playing since....January but i haven't really been part of this community so i have no idea what y'all are talking about?
dio cast?
i need help -
burnt venture

small stone
Dio = Dionysus boon
burnt venture
dio+bow=fun
hazy minnow
DIO, meanwhile, is someone very different.
burnt venture
i got that
atomic forge
someone very dead
small stone
I understood that reference!
atomic forge

burnt venture
?
sharp berry
Dionysus goes "ZA WARUDO!!!!"
hazy minnow
Well, he is all about living in the moment.
burnt venture
imma feel dumb i kmnow it
sharp berry
JoJo dw
small stone
anime memes
sharp berry
Would be interesting to hear Dionysus' drunk dial during an ambrosia offering tho
imagine
Supergiant PLEASE make that happen
green nova
Anyone get the "tripped?" ending ?
sharp berry
which one is this?
green nova
When ever you finish a run, the narrator comes up with a random excuse that Zag dies after wards. one that I get just said that he "Tripped?"
atomic forge
it's a furie
green nova
LEAK?!?!?
atomic forge
called it
green nova
well, we all did
late nacelle
The 1 wing was kinda a give away hahaha
green nova
yeah
late nacelle
The real big 1 is if its thanatos or not
rustic pewter
AAAAA
stark tulip
Does that say MURDER DEATH KILL
late nacelle
I dont think its live
rain maple

late nacelle
I think its just they changed the image too early
hearty current
murder death kill update
rain maple
updating
late nacelle
O fr
ivory spire
Best update name would die again
10/10
green nova
Yeah, they changed the picture too early
stark tulip
murder death kill... zags going sicko mode
late nacelle
I cant seem to launch the game
rustic pewter
murder death kill oh thanatos and then the furies of murder and killing makes sense
its updating rn for me at 8%
stark tulip
isn’t murder and killing the same or are they different somehow
late nacelle
They usually put it out on patch notes before the update goes out live
late nacelle
Here we gooo
rustic pewter
i love witnessing update hype
proper flicker
boom
late nacelle
SYNERGY POWERS?!
lyric pine
i had a feeling that meg's sisters would be joining the party
vestal lintel
TIME FOR MURDER DEATH KILL
late nacelle
This update sounds super fun already ty devs
leaden canyon
Thanatos is
green nova
Maybe the sisters are a mini boss fight in Tart.
leaden canyon
so edgy
green nova
?
vestal lintel
Dang Thanatos looks rad
lyric pine
well imma go play hades for like 5 hours until i have to go to uni
green nova
I'm at Uni rn
devout pilot
are Wraths a sort of ulti?
lyric pine
XD its 6:14am for us aussies
vestal lintel
although Alecto looks kinda...
lyric pine
Ive still got some time
vestal lintel
hmm
narrow dagger
amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
vestal lintel
she look ded
stuck delta
anyone have pics yet?
honest coral
quality update name
vestal lintel
in annoucements mweep
sick grove
Sword buffs 👀
Duo Boons 👀
The boon pool just got thicker, oh boy. Can't wait to see if/how this changes loot tables
vestal lintel
why does Thanatos's scythe looks like something out of Soul Eater
digital crag
who's gonna stream
green crystal
wrath of Olympus = power up for several seconds ?
lime yoke
tbf any scythe would probably look like something out of soul eater, not that im complaining xD @vestal lintel
amber canyon
Ok so I faced Alecto
stuck delta
does give me soul eater vibes
amber canyon
She is similiar to meg, but she has a rage mechanic which completely breaks with whipped frenzy
Because it would already usually speed her attacks up
Except then you speed up sped up attacks
stuck delta
oh god
spare hawk
The hell Meg!
lyric pine
that sounds like a bit of a oversight on the devs behalf
just how insane is the speed boost?
wraith aspen
Gotta go fast!
spare hawk
What are you doing in Zag's room?!
amber canyon
I mean
Rather insane
You can barely dodge the circles below you if you just keep dodging
But her swipe attack is outright undodgable
cold canopy
@solemn falcon he is a sort of challenge like the no hits or the survive ones
very hard to explain and i dont fully understand it after one run xD
solemn falcon
oooooh kinda lame
vestal lintel
why does Tisiphone look like corspe?
cold canopy
substitutes for meg
livid kiln
interesting
cold canopy
i fought tisiphone and she had her own fight that was completely different from meg
solemn falcon
dont have the time to play right now but i wanna know
livid kiln
time to max their ambrosia ranks
cold canopy
it was a treat, really awesome
livid kiln
gotta go for that harem run
solemn falcon
so you'll get one of them randomly instead of meg?
vestal lintel
yea
solemn falcon
niiiiiiiice
vestal lintel
Alecto has a rage mechanic
vestal lintel
i don't know about Tisiphone
celest quest
Is Thanatos also a boss or is he part of something else?
vestal lintel
whats her deal?
maiden cairn
idk she just murdered me
pure narwhal
@lyric pine sounds good, makes sense with that internet
rigid bluff
hey can SGG stop making me attracted to greek mythology figures? thanks
vestal lintel
NO
maiden cairn
tisiphone best girl
rigid bluff
FINE i guess death can get it
vestal lintel
What is Tisiphone's deal?
rigid bluff
he reminds me a lil bit of kayn from league
vestal lintel
no gameplay
maiden cairn
idk dud
rigid bluff
the looks
vestal lintel
cuz Alecto has a rage mechanic
maiden cairn
she does like a ranged instant snipe and some aoe stuff
rigid bluff
hmm maybe i should be here while im still downloading the update
maiden cairn
i was panicking a bit hard to read it properly
rigid bluff
whatever youre talking about sounds really cool tho
maiden cairn
her animations are the same as megs, which reeeaally trips me up
since they indicate something completely different
rigid bluff
wait are they the alterante bosses for the first floor?
maiden cairn
ye
amber canyon
Ok, I got it
Every time she changes phases
The room gets smaller
Thats her gimmick
rigid bluff
wat
vestal lintel
wat
amber canyon
Yeah the screen fades to black
rigid bluff
how small can it get?
maiden cairn
oh
maiden cairn
i assumed it was just the pillars moving around or soemthing idk
vestal lintel
oh gee
maiden cairn
its kinda really disruptive to the flow of combat
vestal lintel
does meg have anything new?
amber canyon
Very, very small
maiden cairn
next time i face her
i will probably just try to dodge forever
and not kill her
to get some muscle memory for her animations
vestal lintel
tisiphone right?
maiden cairn
yea i absolutely responded to her as if she was meg
amber canyon
The worst one is Tisyphones ranged attack
It uses the windup of megs AoE
But has a totally different dodging pattern
vestal lintel
so how do Wraths work?
amber canyon
Each room you build a meter by building and taking damage
maiden cairn
% does not decay during fights, only builds
amber canyon
Then you press the button and get a wrath attack
vestal lintel
no how do you choose them
maiden cairn
as boons
vestal lintel
okey
amber canyon
I gotta say
Thanatos knows how to make an exit
New challenge room, basically
Oh my god
Thanatos upgrade is so dope
I mean his Keepsake
amber canyon
1% damage for every room youve cleared without taking damage
Im not sure if its period, or until you take damage again
amber canyon
You compete against Thanatos to see who kills more enemies
shrewd arrow
oh
digital crag
is that chris saphire i hear
amber canyon
Appears to be permanent
vestal lintel
plus 1% damage?
shrewd arrow
anyone streaming this update rn?
vestal lintel
maiden wharf
thanatos...........hot
