Is Megaera supposed to join the Hall of Hades after her first defeat? My only victory against her was my first attempt and she's not in the hall.
She will usually show up after you defeat her, yes, but sometimes she won't.
She also only shows up after runs where you face her and defeat her
congrats!
also i might have found two bugs in the meanwhile
gonna have to hunt it down tomorrow
:3
We've got the bicep and belt of the new guy .https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/zk3OIi-SVIWes6rPIEVLbo-7bLDPuSTcI1HQm0TsqlJUu0GgyYyNfR8-7IoRsPOH7Fi4q0HjgAt4O_wcZ2OsGQwTsGbznd-DAO6JrO0EjRZMhHcDRW2ruSGrPil8AVD5Zidb9ZEWbOHhjwCh4vvZqTzSxhUZOR7PlQI=s0-d-e1-ft#https://gallery.mailchimp.com/f519b2fbd456ae854439ed997/images/e1dfc22f-e03d-4ad1-8ace-2b8d5a171136.png
Is the hydra the last boss as of now? Or is there something else beyond that?
Last boss for right now
Thanks
uh hello???? how did u get that
supered giante blaste
oh,,,

New character teaser, somebody from Elysium apparently
My friend and I were just talking the other day about who could be added... We figured Hephaestus would be slightly redundant since we get Daedalus' hammer, but that teaser has me second guessing that a bit.
Unless they decided to make Apollo super burly, which could be interesting, lol.
Then again, sports and athleticism is under Hermes' belt, so... Hrmm.
Hermes would probably be less of an absolute unit than what we see
my vote is Hephaestus or Apollo
Both in terms of theme and potential mechanics, I can see a ton of potential for Apollo, so I want him to get added next.
But I can also see how Hermes might work. Especially if the 6th weapon is some sort of throwing dagger(s) or something.
(I have nothing to support that, I'm just speculating for funsies.)
I guess the question is whether they had time to add a new god while they were also doing the new biome
I can't really see that tantalizing unknown armpit as anything other than a god
i also think it's way too much beef to be a mere mortal lol
if it is a god, imo apollo is the most obvious next choice
we already have artemis, after all
and apollo's a really major god
i'm gonna be kinda disappointed if it is apollo but i guess jen's gotta give every god magic muscles lol
I thought Apollo supposed to be more of a "pretty boy" type, no?
yeah it honestly looks too beefy to be apollo
but she also made dionysus pretty beefy
so, like
like you know while we're on the topic of softboy gods
Maybe it's Hephaestus with his boons as some way to improve weapon further?
would hephaestus be that......clean?
Oh, what if it IS Patrocles who is beefier than Achiless 😄
i want to bee leaf,,,,
that is certainly a running theory but not one i've got too many of my betting dollars in kjfgdf
obviously. its orpheus
How beefy you get by playing musical instruments for eternity
orpheus is a mortal, there's still hope for him not to be a mountain of a man
I now remember Ajax the Greater and the Lesser in the depiction of OSP
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/322465241071878145/479583744001572882/unknown.png
hahhahahaha
ajax was a jerk though so i don't want to meet him
so was theseus
get those guys outta here
This is the only thing I know about Ajaxes, what I saw in OSP vids 😄
it'd be super awk meeting theseus anyways
since theseus was like
"i'm gonna try to kidnap persephone" that one time
Maybe we'll find a chair with parts of his buttocks
and then hades stuck him to a chair and--
yeah
athenians, more like, athinians, can't get thicc because theseus cursed them to be butt-less for eternity
hercules has also been suggested
i could see it being hercules
though i'd be a little disappointed with that since hercules is like.......a really popular topic of other stories
i've seen like 200 different versions of hercules i'm TIRED OF HIM
Btw, Hercules and Heracles is the same person?
Thanks to Disney, first one is more known nowadays, despite it being non-canonical
¯_(ツ)_/¯
it's canonical for the romans
and english is more closely related to latin than to greek
But villain is Hades and not Pluto. Because in Disney Pluto is a dog
right!
Imagine Hercules movie but with Pluto as main villain
but yeah i think hercules could be a safe guess
i still think that amount of muscle is god muscle but the way the email phrased it makes it sound like an elysium character
another complication with hercules is that he's like
mythically weird. in two places at once
technically he ascended to olympus, but if he was on olympus, storytellers wouldn't be able to have heroes meet him in the underworld
so he's just, like, both on olympus and in elysium
why not
And about "200 different versions", I think at this point Hercules/Heracles is so inherent to greek mythology that it would be weird to not include him in a game based around greek mythology
that's valid, i'm just like.........i wanna see other characters you know
I get it
and SGG has said part of the appeal of setting the story in the underworld is about depicting characters who don't usually get to be depicted
like Chaos
or Nyx
chthonic deities aren't as popular as the subjects of art and stories
Also fun fact, here in Russia word "Hercules" is more associated with oatmeal (because "Hercules" was most common (or only one I dunno) oatmeal brand in USSR), and the hero is Heracles
next noclip episode has a whole segment about how long SGG struggled over whether to call him heracles or hercules
I think it will be Heracles, because, well, greek spelling for greek hero where everyone's greek
its hercules because the person who said so had the biggest paintball gun when they discussed it
i wonder if patro-klos and hera-kles are etymologically related at all 🤔 i think they might be
Is Patrocles known for anything besides being Achilles boyfriend?
"kleo" a popular name choice
uhhhh he's known for dying
if you wanna get nitty gritty he technically managed to kill a son of zeus
that's fairly impressive
I WAS RIGHT IT'S THE SAME KLEO
lots of glory going around here
Hēraklês, Glory/Pride of Hēra heck yeah
Pátroklos, "glory of the father" i love etymology it's fun
oh like...paternity......
yeah
the same pat....
greek patr- came into latin as pater and various things like that. patria, one's fatherland, for example
patriotism? same thing
oh!!!
Cleopatra is, yeah, absolutely just a lady version of Patroclus
the other thing is that hercules usually has a lion skin
and while, to be fair, we can't see much of this dude from the portrait, he's not obviously got a lion skin
https://i.imgur.com/u5EOhIE.png i just had a realization and now i'm 
madeleine miller saw it and went for it
I don't think it will be Apollo because even with godly physique Apollo should be slimmer than this, they specifically drew attention to the beefiness of the bicep
Which means it should be a person famed for strength
I'm not sure why Hephaestus would wear white blue and gold as a god of fire and blacksmithery which is also why I wouldn't think it's Helios
I wouldn't have said Hermes either because he's a flighty trickster god so being really muscly doesn't make too much sense for him either?
tbh what if it's Morpheus
Beyond the reference in the Matrix he gets basically no mention in pop culture and the blue would make sense for a dream/sleep/chill character, especially if Hypnos is also blue (but would they add 2 gods associated with sleep?)
Otherwise I can't think of anyone large in the pantheon and definitely not one of the major 12
I think Patroclus would be cool especially since he should be in Elysium and I have to imagine they'll add him at some point, but Patroclus was younger than Achilles - the greatest mortal warrior - and Achilles is half as muscular as this guy in the game so that wouldn't make sense
Maybe Eros? blue would be an interesting choice as an accent when pink and red are Right There but hey a big sexy beefcake right?
What if it's Atlas
I would say it wouldn't make sense for it to be Apollo, but Hellenic Dionysus is also typically depicted as a beardless, slim, effeminate youth, and he's been drawn fairly muscular here
True but they WERE going for like that surfer dude fratboy kinda vibe
well who's to say they won't be going for a different vibe with Apollo?
the gods in particular have been beefy, so far, is all I'm saying, even the ones you kinda wouldn't expect
I think if it's not a god, then an elysian hero is most likely
Atlas is a Titan, and is holding up the earth besides, and wouldn't be in Elysium
Nobody said the titans wouldn't be in the game, and most of the gods we talk to are in Olympus using (presumably Iris) prehistoric Skype
i mean that's fair, but why Atlas specifically? seems like an odd choice out of all the available options
Plus there's no god that makes sense to associate with Elysium, if it is a god it's someone unrelated to the biome
Super beefy - holds up the world
keep in mind the roadmap also suggests there will only be a few more story characters introduced
Dark skin like the earth, blue dress for the oceans, green highlights in the skin for nature
dionysus and artemis are the only two gods so far where you could claim their skin color to be symbolic so idk if that's particularly solid
the highlights could also just be elysium colors, if it's an inhabitant of elysium
green and blue seem fairly heaven-ish
Just because there's not a skin precedent doesn't mean that it couldn't happen
Also much like I would with Apollo I'd associate light warm colours with Elysium, not dark cold colours
lmao true
could be ghost colors too, like achilles. shade green
But then there'd be transparency
maybe they haven't added it yet, to throw us off
based on conversations had offscreen i am very willing to say "maybe"
Hahahaha
Still, they like people guessing, I don't think they'd go out of their way to make it harder
well if it's solid then that would seem to mean it could ONLY be a god
or a titan, but again i think it would be odd to introduce a whole new class of characters when they claim they're only aiming to have like 3 or 4 more total
plus i don't know what atlas would bring to the table
Also I'd just like to point out that I think their development timeline is a little conservative
and the wording of the email implied it was someone we'd meet in elysium
That or we're really not going to get a lot of the major 12
i mean, i think we aren't
hera, hestia, and hephaestus are already kind of "covered" by their weapons
apollo, hermes and demeter are still totally up in the air, and apollo's kind of a shoo-in
imo
Some of them would be awkward to make powers for
But I would've said Hephaestus would be a more popular option than Demeter
I definitely think Apollo will get in
persephone thing
unless she reaches out to zag in the hopes that zag will help her locate her daughter
Because surely Apollo will be DOT/healing abilities
I could see that happening
Nobody else knows what Zag is trying to do it would be cool to have a family member on his side who knows the score
She could be more of a room assistant like Thanatos
persephone didn't go back to olympus, there's no reason demeter would know that zag was looking for her
Surely she said something to her mum, they weren't estranged
we don't know
They're like the most stable Olympian relationship in the classical mythos lmao
Everyone else is p damn rocky but they held it together for the most part
And they're usually tight in interpretive work
guess we'll have to find out!
I guess we will
Stilllllllllllll aaaaaaaaaaaaa jeeeeez whaaaaaat 8-12 months of development
yeah lol
i’m excited
one of my favourite things is looking back at the trailer and comparing it to the game that we have now and then thinking about what it’ll look like a few more months down the line
So am I hhhhhhhhhhhhh
Also???? I can't believe its been nearly 50 days since the last upd8
time flies!
just a couple weeks to go
I'll only have a few days to play before I go on a three day hike jdfhgfd
i'll have to play constantly to try to get myself reasonably spoiled
oh wait thanks to the time difference i'll only have 2 days actually,
A time zone????? bein?g useful?
not useful it means i have less time gkdfjgfd
O h
patches always drop at awful times for me and i can never attend the AMAs 😦
I read it wrong
last patch I woke up two hours earlier than usual so I could play before work 😂
I'm waking up at 3 AM for the Homestuck epilogue because I live in NZ : )))
It's 9:38 PM
Hmmmmmmmmm... might make that 4
Or 5
rip
i'm in Japan so we're on a uhhh 16 hour difference
I'm so sorry for your loss
Has anyone completed the codex entry for Hades where you need to talk to him like 1000 times?
Not that I've seen, no
Honestly part of me wants to just spam deaths or something but I don't really know if I would appreciate getting the 1000 conversation info thing if I did since it would be fake attempts/conversations as much as I would doing an actual 1000 attempts/conversations.
if you want you can check out the codex entry on the wiki
Also you can just wait until some updates, previous updates lowered the requirement on other characters from 1000 to 10 I think
Oh I'll probably wait for the updates then, thanks
have we considered the possibility that Buff Lad is Sisyphus yet
i mean he does push a boulder up a hill repeatedly
as much as i've been awaiting the forbidden beef, it sounded like a new character
yeah, that
👀 Please
🅱ls
buff charon doesn't need a boat he just yeets you across the styx
he works out from carrying all that coin
this is reminding me of the buffsuki memes
damn those tiny but deadly beatles...
Hey, did Supergiant said how it will be with Pact of Punishment and the statues after they add new area?
They haven't said anything specific about it, no
Thanks
been a while since i played hades and after a few runs i miss 1 thing thats locked in the codex thingy
something under the heat item
can somebody tell me what i should be looking for
you gotta fail challenges in heat gates
yeah so i was saying. i hope elysium follows up on this conversation between meg and achilles https://i.imgur.com/zJ3fQ9s.jpg
i can't wait to be in Pain™
the Achilles Update
the cry a lot update
we're bullying our token himbo quite a bit in this update but we promise you it'll be worth it
token himbo..............................
"yeah we're diverse, achilles in security is a himbo"

it's not gonna be an easy reunion for sure but by god it better freakin' happen
supergiant
oh IT BETTER
you have the GALL to separate them in the first place when the utter DRAG that is the Odyssey had them together,
put. the lost loves together. stop. having them be apart
if they can give us meg x hypnos crack interactions they can give us achilles/patroclus content
MHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
SAY IT LOUDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
remember the early days of pact of punishment https://i.imgur.com/QDZX9L8.jpg

god i look at the hades memes i made and wish half of them werent real
theyre real.....and theyre here to haunt you
is a mood sometimes
me @ past me
this is the only good meme i've made
me when i forget which one i sent to stop my son https://i.imgur.com/uffF2xB.jpg
i still like chaos' salt but thanatos just brought so much fresh new salt to the table
the table salt
Goddammit, smiling Chaos is beyond creepy
thanks
be glad you weren;t here when it was belgo's icon
oh i remember i had the smiling athena pfp when i joined
me on march 12 2019: since that encounter my life has never known peace. the following day, snakes began manifesting in my home physically
oooh yeah i rember that
oh this was good
no!!! orpheus would never do that
OH GOD
im sorry zagreus. but those are NOT the lyrics
rip sisyphus, been here since the game was released and you still don't have a portrait
rest in peaciphus
jhgvjhgvhjfvhj
🅱eating
npcs who have been in the game since release but still dont have a portrait:
-sisyphus
-nyx
-orpheus
-charon (?)
SJFHDDSJFG
ok im making something unspeakable again and i just noticed achilles' killer eyebrows

ok this is legit terrible
this is why god didnt grant me art skills https://i.imgur.com/DSIrVdC.png
wig
wig! okay!
i just made a noise like aj watching a rite like (deep breath) MMMMMHMHMMMMmmmMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmm
achwiglles
ACHWIGGLYS????
wiggles..........................
hes wiggle

i think, hades would be a much better game if everyone was just bald
bold choice
well theres always bauldy
are you sure
oh are you giving him hair
no but like
maybe there's some moss growing on it
...you gave me another horrible idea but i dont have the skills to execute it
kam does
bouldy but it has the cast's haircuts
but wait aren't rolling stones supposed to gather no moss
BOULDY SKINS
"meg ponytail"
"thanatos bowlcut"
sisyphus trying to get on the house's staff's good side: (sculpts tiny bouldies and makes tiny little wigs for each of them)
aw than has an undercut tho
underbowlcut
bouldy doesn't have hair cause Dusa accidentally dusted it off and that's how she got her job
thanatos: disgusting worm of a man i hate you
sisy: look tho [holds up little thanatoldy figure]
thanatos: ...im confiscating it
sisyphus puts it in a box
i like how bouldy's page in the wiki is only accessible thru sisyphus' page
so that's where achilles' wig went
arrested for helping zag crimes
thanatos also arrested and also has helping zag crimes....theyre twins
concept art https://i.imgur.com/mKkHjZ9.jpg
it looks like u put whipped cream on him
as if hypnos' hair isnt actually whipped cream
meg: (firmly places hand on hypnos' shoulder) hey what's up
(bits of hypnos' whipped cream "hair" falls off)
meg: 🙄
here supergianted games have another crack interaction idea
belgo: free hypmeg idea
greg: oh excelent. this is going RIGHT in the elysium patch...!
bego: (curls monkey finger) its cursed!
greg: aaaaaaghhhh!!!!
it's in character
it is!!!!
in fact as i think ive said before this is how meg/hypnos interactions should go
like they're in good terms with each other but meg develops a strange fascination over the cryptid that is hypnos
not romance. just fascinated
"hes just like a raccoon in my garbage or something"
YEAH
YOU GET IT
belgo writes hades now
eventually she even starts adopting some of his mannerisms but just enough so that she still has her own character yknow
e.g that little joke she cracks when she sees zag in tartarus
meg adopts hypnos' mannerisms by: smiling,
move over greg you guys hsve to share a seat now or maybe belgo can sit on your lap if thats okay? anyway, youre going to be writing hades together from now on,
HDJXJXJF
ITS THE FIRST TIME MEG EVER SMILED
official lore is the pizza and my additions are the seasoning
salt bae meme
me: belgo is the new hades writer
mr hades himself: ☎
i am forcibly removed from the writing team as i make yet another hypnos fortnite reference
greg: theres probably no fortn-i-te in "team" 🔫
me: desperately tries to include the word "fortnight" somewhere in a character's lines
zag: hey where did thanatos run off to
hypnos: oh he's on an assignment for a fortnight
achilles: patroclus its been forever since the two of us have seen each other. you and i have been apart for an eternity
hades ytp
hdjxkcnc
(disgusted hades groan from when you come back to the house but sped up and reversed)
wretch hits zag but gunshot noise
video thumbnail is an edit of hades' sprite that looks like king harkinian from the zelda cgi games
you know
i think we have all the necessary dialogue to do the "my boy.....dinner" bit
AAAAAA
that picture of snufkin in prison but it’s thanatos
When I first saw Bouldy, I thought it was a reference to the game "Rock of Ages" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_of_Ages_(video_game)
So I saw feedback on the Pierced Butterfly and how it's not very useful, right? This is something I've been aware of and kinda using tho. So does anyone else use the Pierced Butterfly as a "I don't really want as much outside help let's just go to the whims of fate" sorta deal?
Like if the chaos trinket was actually about not trying to control your own run
Pierced butterfly is ludicrously powerful... on low heat runs
the power of than 
I enjoy Pierced Butterfly on low/no heat runs
i should state that i'm also not consistent enough to avoid chip damage between rooms 😂
brimstones are the enemy of pierced butterfly runs for me
Hi everyone. Loving the game so far, beat the hydra once. What is the point of giving ambrosia after the initial gifts? Does it increase the rarity of the boons for gods? What does it do for other npcs?
it unlocks certain dialogue and interactions
Thanks
it means you are no longer prompted to give ambrosia anymore, and therefore scratches that completionist itch
it’s so i can pretend i’m in a dating sim
rejection sim :(
it's the only way you can show everyone how much you love them, thanks video games
zag, on like his fifth gift to than: "how else can i show you how i feel except by giving you these from time to time?"
me, crying: yeah!! yeah, this guy gets it!!!
the only love language for gamers is gift giving
does anyone know if the narrator has anything to say if you fry yourself in lava after defeating the hydra?
and if that counts as a failed run even if you already got the victory screen?
God I love Than
I really hope there's more Than in the next upd8 like okay cool new characters maybe even new boons a whole new biome wow a boss you say nice nice but uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh????????? where's the Than man give me more Than please
MOOD
Literally nothing else in this game matters besides like Patroclus
Can we just get a Thanatos/PatroclusxAchilles upd8
Literally the best things ever

yeah g3rn live ur dreams
jokes on you, i have no hands
Also what's That Meg Convo
rip, guess there won't be any fic then
use your NOSE
That Meg Convo is the one where she randomly shows up in ur room
inb4 supergiant does an omori and goes MIA for a year
Oh right cool so like 100 runs ago
meg is the best
WHAT
that took me like
i finished all the other convos and still didn't get that convo for like
30 runs
RNG IS LIKE. WILDE!!!!!!!!!!
everyone kept talking about it and i was just
I'm 150 runs deep
I STILL HAVENT GOT THE MEG CONVO
IVE ONLY SEEN THANNY TWICE
kam wins
O H N O
RNG SO BAD!!!!!!!!
omg
i like dying in than rooms bc his comments are good :>
This is why we need more Than content
hdjdjdjdjdnc i think thanny avoids me for that reason
I want to walk into my room and I want Than to be lying on my bed with a rose in his mouth
hey did you know if you succeed in a than room and then just walk into lava it still counts as dying in a than room so you can get him for sure on the next run
it's really funny to be like
one time i was mean abt than on here and he disappeared for like a good 15 runs
(clears a whole room effortlessly)
(stares straight at than as i walk backwards into lava)
He's ListeningTM...
than is like a monika type where he knows hes in a game and he just wants you to be NORMAL ON LINE FOR FIVE SECONDS
Than honey I love you you're everything I wanted to be when I was 13 and still listened to MCR every day
ME

We had to write about Greek gods in year 9 English and you best believe I was the only person in that room who did smthn real brooding like for Thanatos

Why did I say hate
I wrote a whole ass Thanatos poem I think I had to read it in front of the class???
than is a combination of all my favourite anime and video game boys right now

Looks like Achilles ISN'T the only himbo in Hades...
of course we have -bo rep in hades. just look in the black reflection of ur computer during loading screens
no same
i have autoplay off
achilles has zero braincells, meanwhile thanatos and hypnos have to share one, and thanatos has been holding onto it for like 50 years
I jUsT fOuNd ThE pOeM iN mY pEnCiL cAsE
GKJDFHDK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
This piece of paper is 5 years old but it's hanging on
"MOOOOOOM MAKE HIM GIVE ME THE BRAINCELL BACK"
It's in 5 pieces
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SHARE IT WITH THE CLASS IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT
I have transcribed it it shall never be lost
nice
hey your handwriting rocks
I have nowhere to put this thing in a chat appropriate way
13 year old me would be very happy to hear that
i'm still ready to preship nyx/perse whenever
He took handwriting classes seriously
locked and loaded from release day
We did so many handwriting classes in primary school...
ya its like england elementary
oh they TRIED to teach me to handwrite good, they TRIED,
let's stay on topic y'all gjdfhgfd
im also left handed and have lots of handproblems tho so i think im allowed a pas-
This might show you my whole name
yes maam 
I'm just going to trust that everyone on different continents isn't motivated to come kill me personally
thanatos, reading this poem: w....wow this is so sweet
the greeks never wrote anything about the chthonics bc they were scared 😔
God this really is 5 years old...
u still have to die but thanks
and then rome came in and was like "actually thanatos is a cupid"
woah 
"but like, a death cupid"
he shoots you with his arrows but
DEATH CUPID.....
Thanatos is just babey
what is it with primordial deities gradually getting cherub-ized
romans just be like that
ppl like cherub
Why was I so invested in making sure yall knew this guy was following you around
greeks: eros was a primordial deity representing erotic love as one of the greatest forces in the universe
romans: he baby
because........13
It's The Death NoteTM
oh god
HES LOOKIN OVER MY SHOULDER....
NOT true, i still see him and if he knew everything i had typed about him online he would never grace me with his presence again
maybe thanatos is rlly my cat
hey if i badmouth death enough do you think he'll just leave me alone out of disgust
can i be immortal
YES
but hes pretty tho
but i wanna live
i don't wanna be a buttless ghost
[sticks head out of airplane] CATRA IS JUST THANNY BUT BETTER WRITTEN [skydives without dying bc thanny was mad]
I
jhgvhjvhjfvhj

HE
NO
no
It's true and I'll say it
catra and thanny are the same character open your eyes!!!!
dirk IS cancelled
"how could you leave me behind because our home is so bad and you had to get out of it" LIKE....THEY GET EACH OTHER
catra and than are the left behind squad thude
MHM!!!
I have so much to say about why Dirk isn't cancelled but I have the good grace to at least appear like I won't brawl about Homestuck meta in public
jmbjgbjhkgkjhgjk
uh oh sounds like someone's being metanarratively controlled
But I will just say briefly that his ultimate self is connected to Bro/Hal so he was corrupted by Caliborn's platonic ideals which is why he sounded like such a lecherous 13 year old
dirk over ur shoulder: tell them im not cancelled
And yall can read my long ass theory/analysis post on it when being a biochem/psych double major stops dragging me naked and screaming through the mud
i leave for FIVE MINUTES to put some BREAKFAST in my face
HNGVHJFVHJFVHJFVHJFVHJFVHJ
and i come back to HOMESTUCK
SORRY VEN 🙏 😖
we're all
d
Honestly kill me I don't want to write this psych report
YOU'RE NOT MY M O M
YOU'RE JUST BABEY
Who do we think is going to be the boss of Elysium
[s] Patroclus [/s]
Elysium is where the heroes go, so every chamber will be a boss fight of its own
i'm comforted by the fact that patroclus would be a boring af boss fight
like they have to escalate from the hydra somehow
i think hecatoncheires was a suggestion
Now that would be interesting
But p similar to the Hydra mechanically
Except you fight arms instead of heads
hecatonchires would be a dope boss
hecking ton cherries
"how many cows should we sacrifice to zeus" "idk, man, how about a heckin' ton"
...animal sacrifice jokes anyone
but yeah i'm like. trying not to worry too much bc "normal" heroes wouldn't be very interesting mechanically compared to, like, meg, or the hydra
🥁
thanks jan
*dumps mountain dew into the sink* pour one out for the gods

poseidon goes to strike you down for pouring radioactive waste into the ocean but ares protects you because he's gotta get his hydration somehow
bladeorade
bladeorade
That's so much better
gatorift
GATORIFT GDFKJGDF
that just sounds like a blade rift made of alligators
that's on brand
he what now
yeah, the dragon of ares is a thing
dammit ven
.........................................hey was eragon literally just dragon but with the first letter shifted by one
yes
hey i hate young adult fiction actually?
so according to myth, thebes was founded when king cadmus followed a special cow to a plain with a big ol dragon on it
JXMCJXNCJF
athena told him to kill the dragon and throw its teeth onto the ground
so he does that and the teeth grow into full grown warriors
oh this sounds like something jason did
they're called spartoi which means sown men or something
confusingly not sparta
anyways ares got pissed that he killed his dragon
so you know that this guy has a nice peaceful life with no consequences whatsoever
and also further evidence that athena's fav hobby is to punch ares around
ares: athena is very much into the following: ares: bullying me in the trojan war
iliumstagram
duos huh 🤔
i'm waiting for that artemis/apollo duo but
if apollo's not in this update then that won't be happening
There's only one duo I'm waiting for in Hades, and it's the Darren-Ashley duet
hjkhdf
honestly we may not be getting any new duo boons? we already have a ton
name a more iconic duo i'll wait
Is 6 a ton
i mean most gods like....have one
when there's only 7 gods yeah
There will probably be at least one more when we get the new god
i want an aresdio duo
i was thinking that honestly
double cyrus: swirling wine vortex
Or just make every god boon potentially a duo, like the Transistor functions 
youve heard of wrath now get ready for meditation
Yeah that's what I wanted
(passive boon)
But duos are cool
Would I still like to stack everything onto my attack?
Of course
meditation boons where the voice line is them telling u to think of something calming, but ares's is like, not
If we get Apollo because surely we do
-stack every revenge damage boon
-?????
apollo: guess i'll be reduced to the god of one convenient aspect for gameplay purposes
HDKDJDJ
I'm inclined to think healing tbh but only because it's the only unfilled niche
They might think it would be too strong
Supergiant is actually in talks with Apollo currently to negotiate
Unless he didn't amplify your damage and you were stuck w a basic attack all run
idk cause like every healing skill has been nerfed out of the game
But Dionysus already gave us poison
And they're not going to do 2 poisons we already have 2 DOTs w Ares/Dio too
And if they did poison Apollo that would definitely take Hephaestus out of the running
i suspect they'll probably go with a sun theme
i could see them do something like light that blinds enemies and gives them a chance to miss or somethin
he is broad enough where they really could go wherever they want with it
You know people say that the next weapon should be knives or a whip but I want gauntlets so I can go Dionysus and become Purple Haze
I AGREE
lorewise i hope it goes with the version where he's orpheus's dad it'll be a hoot
BIG AGREE FROM THE PERSON WITH A FUGO PIC
And I mean wouldn't that be variety?
We already have ranged weapons throwing daggers would be cool but there ARE 2 weapons left
Punching Man would be Different
i think it will probly be something middle ranged, in between sword and spear or somethin?
since shield is basically already punching
orpheus: oh you've talked to my dad huh,
zag: hi is there anybody in this house who doesn't have family drama issues
hdncncmvmvmcm
...... 🥁 ??
ORPHEUS U ARE MY SON????
Zag: Hey, Orpheus! I know you have problems with your dad but how about a stepfather?
ORPHEUS IM UR....STEPDAD....
imagine how much of a gut punch itd be if a random quote from orpheus as youre leaving to your next run is just "good luck, dad!"
n o OOOOooo
Who do I have to @ to get romance in Hades
zag is dad now
Make Hades a dating sim
greg
I don't want to escape anymore I just want to kiss a god
don't we have to ..... reverse psychology him
youre right avtually
hey i sure...... don't want to kiss a cute god
gdhdjdncjv
If Greg Kasavin were to write some Gay Ass RomanceTM I would actually just hate that so much
Who wants love
Not me
Not in my game
that "no offense but x celeb sucks" (next day u meet them) twitter meme but no offense but a wide variety of cute romance paths in hades sucks
guess i'll just throw all my ambrosia in the trash because i don't want them
HSKDKH THATS SO SAD AT LEAST GIVE EM TO BIG LOUT
If you got to kiss someone at full hearts in Hades that would be so bad...
this all feels so damgerous tho were playing with fire
he's playing hades he can't see
i KNOW greg could write like ohoho zag gets a kiss but itll still make u weep like....i know he wrote trna.....
bdnfjfkh hes got airpods...
oh no greg. he has hadespods on he can't hear us
oh blood oh darkness
oh blood oh darkness he has hadespods on!!!!! (theyre airpods w mousetaches)
I like how darkness is a Naughty Word so Zag is just looking in a mirror and saying f*** to get bigger muscles
I wouldn't know I'm not a himbo
proxy doesnt let u cuss to restraim everyones muscles
Zag confirmed himbo????
mcdonalds
Zagreus: Oh my god its a Zagreus boon!
Zagreus: Thanks, Zagreus!
SELF CARE!!!!
Okay so, our gregenda for Greg is:
Punchy fists, gay romance, and McDonalds boon
our gregenda, if you will,
I will
greg: [turns the volume up louder on his hades playing]
A boy's toy
hot wheels
HEY I JUST IMAGINED RONALD MCDONALD SPRITE AND THANKS I HATE IT
JUST A PHOTO OF HIM IN THERE
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I thought that was another Homestuck reference
hey so anyways what's your fav zag line that can be his boon noise
Ronald McDonaldsprite
you know....sprites are real right
"Hello, who's calling?"
the vine with "omg are u wearing a grey shirt" "i AM omg" "i think were the same person from diff camera amgles"
zag with a fake moustache
fake hadestache
AAAAAAAAA
what boons would zag even give himself anyhow
id like to think they dont even change anything but they just pretend to give himself something he already has to make himself feel good
like 'WOW flaming feet!!!! this is so cool!!!!'
JSJSKDKFK YESSS
oh my god that is perfect jan
Zag voice: Giving yourself boons is selfcare
this was the best backread
We're still yet to send Greg the gregenda
hey so i just realized you know how the thanatos chime when u open the game is like a stock noise probably. its probably out there and u can make it a ringtone
i refuse to send this to greg for fear that he will do what i ask but in ways that i hate
ykno what YOU can at him i think hes heard enough from me till elysium
YEAH HE'S HEARD ENOUGH FROM ME TO LAST A LIFETIME
speaking of sgg and stock music, the uhh mirror maze in the museum of science and industry in chicago plays "heightmap" from the transistor soundtrack as one of its ~ambient~ pieces
NICEEEE
u hear sgg music in the wild ur like. 
it's in there with tons of other ambient music
I've heard sgg music used in video essays before too
oh sounds like they're just playing someone's spotify playlist
in.... non video game video essays?
Hello Greg welcome to the bonezone Megalovania plays you WILL write me a gay romance with Thanatos
yeah because it's ambient
BVNVHJVHHJGVHJGVHJFVHJFVHJFVHJ
