kjdfhgd i think i actually even said something like that to debunk the deal being about patroclus before....woops

#

meg says he must be somewhere in elysium but yeah

#

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.

visual laurel
#

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

uh hello???? how did u get that

#

New character teaser, somebody from Elysium apparently

limber sage
#

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.

onyx spoke
#

Hermes would probably be less of an absolute unit than what we see

#

my vote is Hephaestus or Apollo

limber sage
#

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.)

visual laurel
#

I guess the question is whether they had time to add a new god while they were also doing the new biome

onyx spoke
#

I can't really see that tantalizing unknown armpit as anything other than a god

visual laurel
#

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

cerulean yoke
#

I thought Apollo supposed to be more of a "pretty boy" type, no?

visual laurel
#

he is

#

that's what i mean, i'd be kinda disappointed if he was this beefy

onyx spoke
#

yeah it honestly looks too beefy to be apollo

visual laurel
#

but she also made dionysus pretty beefy

#

so, like

#

like you know while we're on the topic of softboy gods

cerulean yoke
#

Maybe it's Hephaestus with his boons as some way to improve weapon further?

visual laurel
#

would hephaestus be that......clean?

cerulean yoke
#

I would like a way to improve weapon more than once

#

Hmm, good point

visual laurel
#

can't see a forge god wearing a white chiton

#

seems like a bad idea

cerulean yoke
#

Oh, what if it IS Patrocles who is beefier than Achiless 😄

runic terrace
#

i want to bee leaf,,,,

visual laurel
#

that is certainly a running theory but not one i've got too many of my betting dollars in kjfgdf

runic terrace
#

obviously. its orpheus

visual laurel
#

WHILE WE'RE ON THE TOPIC OF SOFTBOYS

cerulean yoke
#

How beefy you get by playing musical instruments for eternity

visual laurel
#

orpheus is a mortal, there's still hope for him not to be a mountain of a man

cerulean yoke
#

Or, well, maybe it's one of hundreds other greek heroes

#

Half-god ones

visual laurel
#

ajax, lol

#

"now that achilles isn't in elysium, I'M the strongest greek!!!"

cerulean yoke
visual laurel
#

hahhahahaha

#

ajax was a jerk though so i don't want to meet him

#

so was theseus

#

get those guys outta here

cerulean yoke
#

This is the only thing I know about Ajaxes, what I saw in OSP vids 😄

visual laurel
#

it'd be super awk meeting theseus anyways

#

since theseus was like

#

"i'm gonna try to kidnap persephone" that one time

cerulean yoke
#

Maybe we'll find a chair with parts of his buttocks

visual laurel
#

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

cerulean yoke
#

Btw, Hercules and Heracles is the same person?

visual laurel
#

yeah

#

roman spelling vs greek spelling

cerulean yoke
#

Thanks to Disney, first one is more known nowadays, despite it being non-canonical

visual laurel
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

it's canonical for the romans

#

and english is more closely related to latin than to greek

cerulean yoke
#

But villain is Hades and not Pluto. Because in Disney Pluto is a dog

visual laurel
#

right!

cerulean yoke
#

Imagine Hercules movie but with Pluto as main villain

visual laurel
#

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

cerulean yoke
#

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

visual laurel
#

that's valid, i'm just like.........i wanna see other characters you know

cerulean yoke
#

I get it

visual laurel
#

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

cerulean yoke
#

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

visual laurel
#

next noclip episode has a whole segment about how long SGG struggled over whether to call him heracles or hercules

cerulean yoke
#

I think it will be Heracles, because, well, greek spelling for greek hero where everyone's greek

harsh sleet
#

im sticking to the beefy guns

#

i think its gonna be patroclus

runic terrace
#

its hercules because the person who said so had the biggest paintball gun when they discussed it

visual laurel
#

i wonder if patro-klos and hera-kles are etymologically related at all 🤔 i think they might be

cerulean yoke
#

Is Patrocles known for anything besides being Achilles boyfriend?

visual laurel
#

"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

runic terrace
#

oh like...paternity......

visual laurel
#

yeah

runic terrace
#

the same pat....

visual laurel
#

greek patr- came into latin as pater and various things like that. patria, one's fatherland, for example

#

patriotism? same thing

runic terrace
#

oh!!!

visual laurel
#

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

digital crag
#

whoooa

#

my bean got freaked

#

my etymology bean

digital crag
#

madeleine miller saw it and went for it

acoustic condor
#

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

visual laurel
#

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

acoustic condor
#

True but they WERE going for like that surfer dude fratboy kinda vibe

visual laurel
#

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

acoustic condor
#

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

visual laurel
#

i mean that's fair, but why Atlas specifically? seems like an odd choice out of all the available options

acoustic condor
#

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

visual laurel
#

keep in mind the roadmap also suggests there will only be a few more story characters introduced

acoustic condor
#

Dark skin like the earth, blue dress for the oceans, green highlights in the skin for nature

visual laurel
#

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

acoustic condor
#

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

visual laurel
#

🤷 asphodel was warm

#

VERY warm, lol

acoustic condor
#

lmao true

visual laurel
#

could be ghost colors too, like achilles. shade green

acoustic condor
#

But then there'd be transparency

visual laurel
#

maybe they haven't added it yet, to throw us off

acoustic condor
#

Can't be a shade if there's no transparency

#

Maybe but is that their style

visual laurel
#

based on conversations had offscreen i am very willing to say "maybe"

acoustic condor
#

Hahahaha

#

Still, they like people guessing, I don't think they'd go out of their way to make it harder

visual laurel
#

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

acoustic condor
#

Also I'd just like to point out that I think their development timeline is a little conservative

visual laurel
#

and the wording of the email implied it was someone we'd meet in elysium

acoustic condor
#

That or we're really not going to get a lot of the major 12

visual laurel
#

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

acoustic condor
#

Some of them would be awkward to make powers for

#

But I would've said Hephaestus would be a more popular option than Demeter

visual laurel
#

demeter would be awkward to include in the story

#

given the whole, uh

acoustic condor
#

I definitely think Apollo will get in

visual laurel
#

persephone thing

#

unless she reaches out to zag in the hopes that zag will help her locate her daughter

acoustic condor
#

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

visual laurel
#

oh wait that's right actually

#

i wonder if demeter would even know

acoustic condor
#

She could be more of a room assistant like Thanatos

visual laurel
#

persephone didn't go back to olympus, there's no reason demeter would know that zag was looking for her

acoustic condor
#

Surely she said something to her mum, they weren't estranged

visual laurel
#

we don't know

acoustic condor
#

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

visual laurel
#

guess we'll have to find out!

acoustic condor
#

I guess we will

#

Stilllllllllllll aaaaaaaaaaaaa jeeeeez whaaaaaat 8-12 months of development

visual laurel
#

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.

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)

Rock of Ages is a tower defense racing video game developed by ACE Team and published by Atlus USA. It uses the Unreal Engine 3. The game was released for Xbox 360 in August 2011, for Microsoft Windows in September 2011, and for PlayStation 3 in May 2012.

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?

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?

like they have to escalate from the hydra somehow

i think hecatoncheires was a suggestion

But p similar to the Hydra mechanically

they're called spartoi which means sown men or something

anyways ares got pissed that he killed his dragon

and also further evidence that athena's fav hobby is to punch ares around

What duos do you think we'll get in the upd8

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 squirtdevious

youve heard of wrath now get ready for meditation

Yeah that's what I wanted

(passive boon)

acoustic condor

Would I still like to stack everything onto my attack?

#

Of course

runic terrace
#

meditation boons where the voice line is them telling u to think of something calming, but ares's is like, not

acoustic condor
#

If we get Apollo because surely we do

digital crag
#

-stack every revenge damage boon
-?????

acoustic condor
#

Will he be healing or will he be poison

#

Or vampire for both

digital crag
#

apollo: guess i'll be reduced to the god of one convenient aspect for gameplay purposes

runic terrace
#

HDKDJDJ

acoustic condor
#

I'm inclined to think healing tbh but only because it's the only unfilled niche

#

They might think it would be too strong

cold canopy
#

Supergiant is actually in talks with Apollo currently to negotiate

acoustic condor
#

Unless he didn't amplify your damage and you were stuck w a basic attack all run

digital crag
#

idk cause like every healing skill has been nerfed out of the game

acoustic condor
#

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 could see them do something like light that blinds enemies and gives them a chance to miss or somethin

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

acoustic condor
#

I only use the bullrush for shield

#

Actually hitting w it is weaker than sword
