Nadia are you saying we have to keep climbing the heat with no buffs or can we use mirror buffs?

Yeah, I thought you could so when I first started this game I was maxing meg and Artemis with my potions

oh i mean the song, it's apparently from dionysus

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:21 PM

oo

#

it feels so good to play in an actual chair and infront of a desk again

#

i am actually doing alot better i am currently at temple of styx with the bow for the first time

#

also on heat

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 1:32 PM

#

which bow

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:32 PM

#

basic zag bow

lusty crow Dec 21, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

There's gotta be a better way to farm these gems than just troves. There has to be something I missed or one of the relic items from giving ambrosia has to boost collection

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 1:36 PM

#

do you just like Zag bow or you haven't level up the other aspects, all of Zag aspects are pretty boring imo except the sword

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:37 PM

#

i honestly dont like any other aspects

#

lel

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 1:40 PM

#

now this is new

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:40 PM

#

to be fair

#

i have only upgraded the sword and bow aspects thus far

#

since i have been avoiding other weapons because i sat on the floor before i got this desk

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 1:43 PM

#

i see, did you beat Hades

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

on hades rn

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

well gl then

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:48 PM

#

the lasers got me killed

#

one didnt show up because it was stuck on a pillar

#

so i got into one shot range

#

and then he did his dash spin

#

more than halfway done on second phase

#

imma weep

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 1:50 PM

#

how many death defiance

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:50 PM

#

i had 2 going into the fight

#

stupid mistake on phase 1 made me lose one

#

so its entirely my own fault i lost that one

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

yeah i mean Zag aspects alone are pretty tame compare to others

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

pff

#

you say that but 5 double backstab crits in a row deals alot of damage

#

i am a lucky person when it comes to rng

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 1:54 PM

#

Zag aspect + hammer upgrade that makes you never have to reload = profit???

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:54 PM

#

no i used the double shot

#

and weakening attack

#

only because the damage boost is good on it

lusty crow Dec 21, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

Never reload is the only way to play that gun!

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

i wasnt using the gun

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

yeah i just find it funny how that upgrade render 2 of the aspects useless

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

lel

#

im usign the gun now though

#

and i want to cry

#

its my least favorite

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

Hestia aspect is pretty fun, reload and then boom, then you reload again

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

seems pretty dumb imo

#

i wont use it

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

you only say that now but you will soon come to it

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

no honestly

#

unless it gives me more ambrosia and stuff

#

i wont use it

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

beside the 2nd aspect is even more silly, you shoot a rocket and then you have to stand on the blast radius to empower your shots

"the gun is mega poweful" -the lore

railgun is actually rising to be my most favorite weapon thanks to Hestia aspect

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:02 PM

#

its just one shot though

#

so boring

mossy galleon Dec 21, 2019, 2:03 PM

Infinite Ammo turns it into a whole different beast

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

oh shoosh you, one shot is enough

i got epic heartbreak attack

#

okay i take back what i said

i learned how to use the gun

its pretty good

mossy galleon Dec 21, 2019, 2:05 PM

you can also go for a special build

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

i mean i have a poison rocket

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

have i mentioned that one shot deals 150 damage so it equals to an entire clip or more

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:07 PM

#

still not worth it

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

fiiine go play with that boring Zag aspect

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

Did somebody say Hestia

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

it was i, Hestia aspect is the best

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

i like boring

#

it just means i dont need any extra help

#

i just gotta get good

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Good taste fellow hestia aspecter

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 2:10 PM

ah i see you're a man of culture as well

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

umuSmug

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

but but but you just said Hestia aspect was boring

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

i think getting extra help is boring

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

Roundabout way of saying they like Hestia ooo

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

i chose the boring basic thing instead

#

because it means i need to rely more on myself and not a gimmick mechanic

#

i dont WANT to centre my gameplay around one shot reloads

#

i want to feel like IM the one being skillfull

#

and thats just my opinion

#

im not saying thats how it is

#

its just my own feelings on the subject

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

That's fair ThumbsupKyoko

#

Do you avoid like the mirror and stuff too

#

Or is it just that aspects change it too much for you

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

no thats a "skill tree"

#

i just dont want the weapons to help me

#

if that makes sense

#

zagreus is vanilla

#

i just want to use boons and hammers to make myself stronger and use my own skill

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

thats stupid and arbitrary but suit yourself

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

i know

#

i never said it wasnt

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

Arbitrary but not stupid

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

it is just a way for me to...feel like im getting better

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

Not stupid to play the game the way you like

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

wich i am

#

i dont feel like i would improve as much if i had one shot that dealt as much as one mag

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

the bow has aspects which unupgraded are more sidegrades

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

and?

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

meaning you end up with equal power but different mechanics

#

so maybe give those a try

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

i like the crit bonus though

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

chiron reduces special, but gives them homing

#

yea

#

thats fair

#

sword has just straight upgrades

#

movement speed aint nothing

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

i dont feel the need to have a homing specials when i know the range of the bow special

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

Spear has straight upgrades too

graceful wharf Dec 21, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

you can still get clobbered with or without Hestia aspect, it's all depends on skill at the end

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

i like the swords speed because it makes me feel more mobile

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

its for different playstyles

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

Shield has different playstyle with Zeus shield

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

chiron is for applying stacking effects

#

like poison or doom

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

you could just be in range instead

#

land more shots if you know the range

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

no

#

because of the spread.

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

Chiron changes it to a ranged single target ability

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

youll hit one or two shots

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

i land 2-4 shots each special

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

with special, you hit them all on one foe

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

or you can just be good at the game?

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

Yeah if you play the bow like a shotgun and be close, chiron makes it more of a ranged play

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

which is situationally better

#

what

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

It reduces the number of arrows you fire so it's not strictly better

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

this is what i mean, i want to rely on my skill not the game helping me

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

what

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

and ofc the game gives boons and the mirror and all that

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

a different playstyle doesnt equal extra help or an easy mode

#

normal bow requires you be in an enemies face to hit multipile shots

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

so you're saying homing arrows are NOT easier?

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

homing but fewer

#

its situationally better

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

thats still homing

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

not allways

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

wich is easier

#

because they hit

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

works better for some things

#

worse for others

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

like everything you mean?

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

if you want to hit an enemy more often, homing helps

#

like poison

main gulch Dec 21, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

Chiron sucks if you want to apply doom to a room with Ares special

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

im not oblivious to the fact that they are different playstyles Smug

#

i said this

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:21 PM

#

homing isnt a straight upgrade

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:21 PM

#

i am just talking from MY OPINION

#

thats all

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:21 PM

#

wheter or not its a straight upgrade isnt opinion based

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:21 PM

but its my opinion

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:27 PM

the only thing i was upset at was you saying its better for everything

#

which just aint true

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

i didnt say that?

#

i said it makes me feel like its easier

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

quite litterally did

#

you didnt say that

#

"works better for some, worse for others"
"like everything you mean"

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

then you missed when i explained that i was talking about my opinion

#

thats

#

fewer homing arrows hit with all of them most of the time no?

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

they hit one single enemy

#

which is worse for things like doom

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

i know that

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

but its better for poison

#

sometimes better, sometimes worse

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

by saying "everything" i meant "everything you shoot"

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

they all hit yes

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

it majorly hits every special shot

exactly

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

99% of the time

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

thats what i meant.

#

not that it is straight up better in general.

oak kindle Dec 21, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

but you only have up to 7 at max upgrade

#

and special damage is

#

negligibile

#

its 10 by default

#

70 on one enemy with that kind of windup isnt good

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 2:32 PM

it makes an ass out of you and me

about the keepsake... saw a reddit post, that you kill him with max sword -> give him abrosia and he gives it to you

how do i get him to ask for it?

snow brook Dec 21, 2019, 3:38 PM

If you are asking about the one unlocked with Ambrosia, you need to have him ask you specifically.

As for how, let me see if I can find out real quick.

you need 4 ambrosia for the legendary keepsakes and 1/2/3/4 ambrosia to upgrade them

#

so 44 ambrosia total

ornate osprey Dec 21, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

Can you equip a normal keepsake AND a legendary one?

jovial fossil Dec 21, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

meanwhile you need 180 titan blood to unlock all the weapon aspects
and you get 2 titan blood and 1 ambrosia a run
so trading ambrosia for titan blood and other things is acceptable, I think

#

yes

#

legendary keepsakes go in a different slot and do something else entirely

ornate osprey Dec 21, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

Ok so it's worth going for at least one

#

Any one of the 4 worth trying to get first? Feels like the skelly one is the worst

jovial fossil Dec 21, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

meg or than is easiest, but they're also the least useful because they don't work vs the final boss, and meg's obviously doesn't work vs meg
skelly is actually pretty good vs bosses
bouldy is the best summon

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:34 PM

Well the storyline is very suggestive of some weirdness in the otherwise expected greek mythos. Zagreus in Greek myth isn't actually Hades son, he's the son of Zeus and Persephone, who Hera had killed (because she obviously didn't like the idea of someone else's child as the prince of Olympus). So in this instance it's kind of suggested that Hades is acting as Zag's adoptive dad after Zag was killed and Hades and Persephone were married. Zag might not be able to leave the underworld because he's still "dead", though in the game the Titans have been chopped up already and Zagreus was 'pulled from the ashes of the defeated Titans and placed in the womb of Semele to be reborn'.

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

sooooo...Hades is a bad guy

#

since Zag IS a God of olympus

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:35 PM

so maybe hades knows that if you leave hera will not be very happy

well hera has no right to complain

#

and also gods are not allowed to kill gods

#

also i find it a bit weird how the king has the god's help when trying to kill you when they are supposed to be on your side

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

Well not really, it's Hades job to make sure the dead stay in the underworld, so if Zag is still in that limbo where he's been killed by the titans, but not yet reborn as Semele's god-blooded child then it would make sense.

there ARE interpretations

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

yeh tbf, i assume that the game isnt completely in line with real mythology anyway

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

it is pretty faithfull actually

shy rune Dec 21, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

some ppl even confuse Zag with Dio

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

yeh i know it is heavily inspired and tries to be faithful, but its never gonna be 100% or anything

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

yeah, the mythology is a little muddled, since Zagreous is also another name for Dionysus in some documents and there's already a Dionysus in the game, meaning somehow Zag is a different god despite being conflated with Dionysus.

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

and theyre are gonna be leniencies

shy rune Dec 21, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

no adaptation is 100% accurate

#

or anything based on myths

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

Zagreus also has a role as a LIVING god

#

so?

#

its very ambiguous

#

ambigous?

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

Supergiant always has some wild and fun twists in their stories, so I expect some curve balls in Hades too.

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

im really looking forward to seeing what does happen after you 'escape'

#

i assume they will update that eventually

#

I kinda half expected the gods to be waiuting there for you and to send you back cus I knew that you wouldnt actually escape, otherwise the game would be over kinda

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

I predict Hades will become nicer

#

not nice

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

but that wouldnt make mujch sense cus they would help you out again

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

just softer i guess

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

Zagreus is also the 'father of humanity' with his death and subsequent cremation resulting in the birth of the human race. Since human souls obviously exist in Hades that would suggest that this story definitely takes place AFTER Zag first dies, though whether or not he has been reborn yet is debtable.

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

I belive that Nyx quite literaly adopted Zag

#

making him into some sort of spirit/god/embodiment

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:41 PM

also just a question, do you ever get to go into the big golden doors? ive only got one win

i have like 4 wins

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

My money is that this game takes place in an AU where Zag never got 'reborn' and that's why he can never leave Hades. He's a dead god and as such is trapped in the underworld until who knows when.

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

AU?

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:43 PM

alternate universe

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:43 PM

ah

but dead people have left before right

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:43 PM

no

people have gone in and out of the underworld

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:44 PM

ah but not dead people

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

no one dead has ever left, a very few living people have visited and later escaped alive.

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

ok gotcha

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

but IF Hades used his authority to make Zagreus his son

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

interestingly Orphius should be one of those people, but he seems to have died for reals in the game and is now stuck in hades

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:44 PM

wouldnt zag technically gain part of the power of the underworld

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:44 PM

i really like greek myth but cant really get into reading it or anything so i like stuff that tells it to you through other means

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:45 PM

Since gods with the authority of the underworld cant die...in the underworld

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

I mean, that entirely debatable Nadia, when it comes to Greek gods any sort of "what if" is possible. I mean Aphrodite was born from a god testicle falling into seafoam.

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:45 PM

because Hades rules over them specifically

formal ivy Dec 21, 2019, 10:46 PM

Alecto says something about how Zagreus bleeds red like a mortal, that might be a hint at something?

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

aphrodite is technically a titan though

#

He is the God of mortals @formal ivy

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

weirdly, when you kill hades at the end he dies the same way that zag does

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

I think the reference to Zag "bleeding like a mortal" is because he is literally the creator of humanity.

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:46 PM

so obviously he would bleed our blood

not in the game but in real greek myth i think

in Greek myth Zagreus creates humanity when his dead body is cremated by Zues.

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:48 PM

out of the ashes of Zagreus and the defeated titans, Humanity arose; part god, part titan.

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

If i had to guess using my actual book of greek mythology

#

Zagreus IS alive, however he has lost part of his godliness

#

Hence the mirror and the darkness

formal ivy Dec 21, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

does Hades give that long angry monologue at some point?

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

all of Hades monologues are long and angry.

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:50 PM

because he gained some authority over Hades/Underworld

No one has more authority than Hades IN the underworld

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

what?

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

That's why i get the feeling that the game is meant to reflect Zag's "trials" to prove himself worthy of being reborn in the mortal world.

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

however almost every Olympian God IS stronger than Hades because of his distance to the "greek fire" or olympian flame

wise python Dec 21, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

ah

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

i just like to spout greek mythology

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

Like all the gameplay is meant to be reflective of Zag's "spirit" escaping the underworld so he can be reborn as Semele's son.

formal ivy Dec 21, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

I'm not sure what naval weaponry has to do with the underworld

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:54 PM

I dont think Hades is allowed to do tht

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:54 PM

Well maybe not for mortals, but Zag IS a god, even if he's a dead god.

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:54 PM

also Kaerf greek fire is just the world flame that gods protect

#

part of it prometheus gifted to humans

atomic forge Dec 21, 2019, 10:55 PM

Greek mythology is all over the place. In some interpretations zagreus is dionysus. In other interpretations hes hades or the son of hades. Or hes the son of zeus

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

it just so happens to also be a weapon used by the greeks

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

So maybe the ultimate goal is to forge Zag through these trials to reclaim his godhood.

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

hmm

#

that would be Zeus task though

#

since he is the KING of the gods

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

I think we can set aside the possibility that Zag and Dio are the same, since the game version has both Dio and Zag as different gods.

proper cairn Dec 21, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

and Hades is not Zeus equal

formal ivy Dec 21, 2019, 10:56 PM

no, Hades has self-control

They are sort of equals tho

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:57 PM

Still, it's important to remember that Greek Gods are also fond of forcing people to go through "trials and suffering" to prove their dedication to the gods.

In greek mytholgy zeus hades and Poseidon drew lots

#

I'm working with the game as a source first

karmic fulcrum Dec 21, 2019, 10:57 PM

So Zag's trials of fighting through the underworld might just be Hades and the olympians giving him some "tough love"

With whom you sealed those blasted Titans underneath this realm, so that you could consort without concern, as now you do?! That such a fate as this would have been wrought for me, by those three cursed hags, or by the two of you, I swear, I swear...! And do not get me started on that damned ungrateful little runt now tending to his hopeless undertaking at my own expense, brazen little bastard that he is. His mother would be oh so very proud, so very proud, no doubt, to see him violating my domain, my home, my rules! The boy, he's even got into the dog's damned heads with his damnable notions, certainly his mother's guiles, plainly on display.

The only thing that annoys me about voice acting is the way that zag says "mate" lol

#

he over enunciates the "t" in it

#

to me, atleast

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 12:09 AM

#

well its just a dialect

wise python Dec 22, 2019, 12:10 AM

Yeah I know. It sounds like a British accent to me but that bit kinda gets on my nerves a bit lol

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 12:10 AM

#

i wish he had more emotion other than...calm

wise python Dec 22, 2019, 12:11 AM

#

I kinda like the tone and stuff, it makes it seem like hes got used to this and its all mundane to him

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 12:18 AM

#

okay so

#

i wanted to check my skill increase

#

so i removed everything from the mirror

wise python Dec 22, 2019, 12:37 AM

#

got to hades but just did barely any damage

formal ivy Dec 22, 2019, 12:37 AM

#

my bow is a melee weapon

#

fr I pretty much always build on Special for Coronacht

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 12:38 AM

Im finding using A hell of a lot of crits and supporting fire from Artemis is helping me along nicely

formal ivy Dec 22, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

depends on the build, but definitely lots of running around and ducking behind the pillars

MEG ROMANCE

#

YES

#

i cant belive i actually reacted with the same type of "Yes!" Zag did

#

what a coincidence

#

okay so you can wave dash in Hades

#

using a controller you can dash while not doing the animation

#

by simply having a spasm with a controller

regal latch Dec 22, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

But can you do attacks while sliding?

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 1:08 AM

#

i think so

#

it looked like it when i was testing

atomic forge Dec 22, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

Wish there was some more unique dialogue after you romance meg

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

agreed

regal latch Dec 22, 2019, 1:13 AM

#

Isn't it just a dash attack I mean

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 1:13 AM

#

no i dont think so

#

i tested it very quickly

main gulch Dec 22, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

which weapon did you test with

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

sword

main gulch Dec 22, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

can tell if it was a dash attack or not based mostly on if it was a swing or a thrust

#

(except for the third hit ofc)

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

i know

#

my test was mostly just buttong massing agressivly

main gulch Dec 22, 2019, 1:27 AM

that's how i always play the game ChillSmug

autumn warren Dec 22, 2019, 2:45 AM

#

erf I'm getting so close of beating hades

#

but he keeps spawning snipers on phase 1 it reduce my health so much

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 2:46 AM

#

you really need to focus the minions he spawns

#

their armor is really tough

#

the hp not so much

autumn warren Dec 22, 2019, 2:46 AM

#

yeah I know, I can handle the mobs but snipers are so awful for me

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 2:47 AM

#

strongbows?

autumn warren Dec 22, 2019, 2:47 AM

#

probably yeah, don't know their name

#

I call them snipers since they shoot from afar and put a target logo

Should have waited till that person boosted first and be the one

i can just remove a boost

and then boost again : D

i just want to somehow support

il vento d'oro makes everything better

Is that one of the options? What does it do

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 4:25 AM

oh lord

no

il vento d'oro is a music track

that im listening to

Okay; should I listen to it on my next run? XD

proper cairn Dec 22, 2019, 4:26 AM

i mean if you like jojo or just snassy music

#

go ahead

dull willow Dec 22, 2019, 4:27 AM

Okay

cunning needle Dec 22, 2019, 5:06 AM

#

do i need to have thanatos’s special keepsake equipped to be able to get the event with him?

#

im basically destroying my hands trying to get than’s event

#

i need to take a break from constant runs but im desperate to conclude his storyline

#

its starting to feel really bad. like im in a grindy unrewarding lootbox game

#

is there a list of all the conditions that have to be fulfilled besides forging the bond with him? i must be missing something because the rng can’t be this bad

atomic forge Dec 22, 2019, 5:26 AM

#

No, he'll just appear.

cunning needle Dec 22, 2019, 5:27 AM

#

he hasnt in 30 runs. i will probably start filing bug reports soon

atomic forge Dec 22, 2019, 5:38 AM

#

The RNG can be crazy. It took me a similar amount of runs before Meg's 2nd group of hearts unlocked for me. Just keep trying.

cunning needle Dec 22, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

are there any video recordings of the event that i can watch?

#

that way i can know without having to break myself getting there

vagrant cloud Dec 22, 2019, 6:16 AM

#

IDK if the following is strictly gameplay or serous. I've believed in|| bouldy like four times, but this time I have this Ambiguity bonus +2% "you don't know if you believe in bouldy"||

#

is my relationship regressing?

shy warren Dec 22, 2019, 8:20 AM

#

Guys, could you please let me know if you get anything from lvling up weapons?

#

Like for example next lvl for my spear says kill 300 mobs, does it only unlocks more story or anything else

jovial fossil Dec 22, 2019, 8:30 AM

#

you get more story in the codex

#

that's it

#

the weapon improvements will be obvious and tell you in advance what they do

shy warren Dec 22, 2019, 8:33 AM

#

@jovial fossil I just received titan blood, what does it do? it says it unlocks other powers from my weapon?

jovial fossil Dec 22, 2019, 8:34 AM

#

once you have access to weapon aspects, you can spend titan blood to unlock and improve their effects

#

IIRC you get access to weapon aspects after unlocking all the available weapons

rapid zinc Dec 22, 2019, 8:35 AM

#

Yup

jovial fossil Dec 22, 2019, 8:35 AM

#

Don't worry about running out of titan blood, you can get a lot more later

shy warren Dec 22, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

Are the upgrades worth it? Im not currently focusing on unlocking weapons but if they are I will buy them

main gulch Dec 22, 2019, 9:10 AM

#

Yes the upgrades make a lot of them significantly stronger

#

For example at level 1 hestia makes your first shot do 50, and at level 5 it's 150

#

So yeah pretty significant

#

Oh you mean as opposed to base weapons

#

Yes the weapon aspects make them way better

#

All you have to do is unlock all the weapons then do one more run

#

And you'll be able to spend your titan blood on them

jovial fossil Dec 22, 2019, 9:14 AM

#

each aspect is basically a hammer upgrade you can start with

shy warren Dec 22, 2019, 9:21 AM

#

I'm not usually into single player games but I'm loving Hades, just something about it so addicting!

#

Thanks for your help guys x

paper pawn Dec 22, 2019, 9:31 AM

#

I like this interaction once where I had equipped dionysus’s cup between tartarus and asphodel and the first boom I find in asphodel is actually hermes who apologises that dionysus couldn’t be there and that dio had never been known for punctuality

#

the devs think of everything trope

shy warren Dec 22, 2019, 9:59 AM

#

Yeah it's an absolute master piece!

paper pawn Dec 22, 2019, 10:03 AM

#

if this game were the standard repetitive dungeon crawler without the depth of these interactions i doubt i’d be running it more than four or five times, good writing is so crucial, looking at you standard triple A games...

#

supergiant on a big budget is my god

shy warren Dec 22, 2019, 10:08 AM

#

Honestly only recently I started to play supergiant games and they are all mind blowing, from bastion to pyre I actually need to try transistor too

turbid hearth Dec 22, 2019, 10:16 AM

#

my #1 problem with the game is that it is addicting as Hell

#

I keep finding myself up past midnight saying "just one more run"

bleak pendant Dec 22, 2019, 10:17 AM

#

Oh yeah. I’ve clocked a ridiculous amount of hours in this game, and I got it 4 days ago

formal ivy Dec 22, 2019, 10:29 AM

#

literally same, i think I've spent 75% of my waking hours on it this week
