:C
I live 5 minutes away from my job so I have some time lol
Sounds nice actually
now i understood i'm hungry(((
But back on spoilery-topic, I think Hades is trying to prepare Zag for a conflict with someone
why are u doing this to me
Perhaps even Demeter herself
well it's not his fault
(they did fight over Persephone, now imagine how she'd react finding out that she has a grandson)
So in the end Pesephone is actually the villain in the story...
I think Persephone might be the unwitting instigator of doom
she left Hades cus he is intolerable jerk
But what if the Olympian that is coming isn't Demeter but Persephone?
True, but I have this inner feeling that we may not see new biome
and I'm pretty sure she left because the Underworld and plantlife technically don't get along
and she didnt back on Olimp cus Zeus would send her back
Yeah, Zeus would go "You need to go back to my brother. Now."
I don't think Demeter would care too much about the underworld if she knew that Pesephone was not there anymore
Demeter would want Persephone with her
it's obvious Demeter is looking for her child
Basically "come back to Olympus or else."
Yeah but the letter never mentioned anything about Demeter though
but she has no power in the underworld
Persephone might just be tired of her mother's helicopter parenting
and wants to live somewhere away from that family drama
Or she might be tired of her ribbon trips back to back to hell and olympus
for me she just tired of her husband
I don't think she's tired of Hades persay
or else she would've probably said something about it and been less diplomatic in her letter
The fact that she asked for him to care for Ceberus is telling
I think she just felt stifled in the Underworld, a trait that Zag also shares
Bruh, if she didn't ask him to take care of Cerberus I'd be mad. Just look at him
More like "I'm sick and tired of both you and my mother controlling me. I am going to leave and be by myself, Goodbye."
The 3 of them totally care about Cerberus
Ceberus is best doggo
He's the family's doggo
cus Cerberus is a goodest boy
His name technically means Spot
Hades named his dog a common doggo name
So I don't think he's as bad as we think
It's just that Zag is a perspectively biased narrarator
(and Hades is a grump so that doesn't help)
But I think Persephone intended for either Hades or her son to find her. Why give a hint to where she might be otherwise.
Nah, I still think that Hades is that type of person that would lock someone so that he wouldn't lose them
Well he doesn't do that to Zag
The fact that he just made the Pact on the door instead of y'know
shutting it
and kept all his weapon
Hades felt so sad when he got defeated by Zag the first time
if u find her tall Cerberus is ok?
Either he's the worlds grumpiest tsundere or isn't that bad of a father once he deals with his wife leaving
Yeah, that line itself kinda screams
that he may want to say even more
I mean, if the love of your life left you then you'd be pretty shaken about it
Imagine this:
Yeah, he probably misses her but accepts that she left
so he's not going to ask her to return
(or guilt trip her to return)
I think Hades could be the best husbando and worst dad at the same exact time lol
I think he's more accepting that she wanted to leave, he is definitely very faithful and devoted to her. So he accepts her decision.
anyways, time for me to head out, see everyone later!
he is very stubborn and conservative.
The person that you loved most, got pregnant of your baby, gave birth, left a letter saying that they decided to leave while leaving their baby behind. Now you have no one to love but your only child. That child, however, wants above anything else to leave as well. What would you do?
he cant change
@lavish frost pierce him with my spear!
everytime hi tries to run away
That's why he cannot accept losing another loved one
He has to kill Zag everytime he gets too close to leaving because he doesn't want to be alone
Quite tragic
"I have only you. And you have only me" - Lord Hades
Now I pity Hades. He is in difficult position but just a reminder that your trauma does not allow you to be a jerk.
I mean, would you be open about it?
Go to your son and be like. You can't leave because of <selfish reason>.
and we all know Hades is not that much of an open guy after all
Being the god of the underworld can make you quite... cold hearted
and he cant lose his face
Never heard of a underworld god in other mythologies being all sweet and happy
Maybe Hel from norse mythos but only the child version ofc
True
I remember one culture where the underworld god couple are sweet and happy... but their way of being sweet include feeding worms to the dead
because they enjoy it and did not realize that maybe the human dead do not want to eat worms
Yeah, being sweet and happy can be relative af
2 phases
2
Did you have Pos' boon?
@burnt harbor what build did u have
what attack
The arrows from Artemis
You need Athena's dash no matter what
Why?
yeah Athena dash is op
What do they do?
allows you to be almost invincible
Deflects attacks
and deflect all while dash
They deal dmg but also reflect incoming projectiles
But that's #h1-builds-and-combat topic anyways
Hold up ! I'm just catching up with greek myhtology
"After Hades abducted Persephone, Demeter grieved. The earth became barren through her neglect; thus, the winter season and its manifestations were a reflection of Demeter’s emotional state during Persephone’s absence."
But in the game Hades says Persephone escaped , but its winter outside
and the next week patch Supergiant teased us by saying "expect the unexpected!" aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
old news dude
Because Zeus got Hermes to make a deal with Hades to get Persephone to go back to Olympus so that winter could cease, but the deal was that they would ribbon Persephone back and forth so that everyone would be happy
we discussed it thousand times
im sorry 😦
but u know what
if persephone left hades
Nah it's cool
wont discuss again 😦
it's ok
Don't listen to gznm
yeah i'm old grumping man
Ionian you can discuss it again, don't be discouraged. We get all sorts of people with different levels of video game and mythology knowledge. 😄
dont listen to me
Dawww thank you guys ❤️
me at 8 learning about greek mythology: they have a PANTHEON???
the ghost of an ancient greek behind me: You Tiny Idiot
@raven gale its fine and always good to share your thoughts! gznm is just a meanie
I'd be so pissed at people when they would be like "Cronos, the god of time, was Zeus' father"
Bruh
Aww pls dont be mean towards gzmn , now i feel bad

Yeah, now switch the bullying target hehe
Also , I gotta say , I wasn't super into Greek Myth , but this game made me haha
No no!! Sorry I was just poking fun at the idea of ancient greeks rolling their eyes at us as we keep retelling their stuff wrong.
That's good
Handshakes all around folks, sorry if I hurt you gznm. 🤝
Yeah, we know more than them so...
i'm too old to be hurt by stranger)
Greek mythology is cruel yet interesting
gznm: This heart was already hurt too many times...
I'm sorry gznm ❤️
idk, this chat goes off topic in the blink of an eye
i mean it's #h1-story-discussion
and the smooth grease that keeps the boulder rolling 
Greek mythology was my fav book even 20-25 years ago when i was a kid. It was children adaptation but still had some cruel moments)
and now it just refreshing old memories
sometimes
petition to create a channel to talk about greek mythos
I liked egyptian stuff better
offtopic
I blame myself for not learning mythology.
well i didnt have egyptian myths book
petition for the next Supergiant game to be based on egyptian mythology!
AGREE
I like the Roman names (like Jupiter instead of Zeus) cause im a huuuugee astronomy nerd
Norse mythos might actually be the funniest out there
☀️ ARISE, SON OF RA ☀️

TIL you can get more than one DD from chaos boons
WHAT
yar
I have YET to get a death defiance from chaos...
THIS IS ILLEAGAL
i do not think u need it anyway
huh, I thought you couldn't get multiple boons of the same rarity and type from Chaos
HP looks cooler
Yup
This man getting legendaries while I'm busting my ass to get a epic boon...
I had 3 dash attack buffs (2 epic 1 rare) during a nemesis sword run, plus the double hit daedalus buff
I button mashed most of the way through Elysium and Styx after
so yeah you can
HP? But then you won't have five death defiances!
yeah i had 3 dash attack and 1 attack too
Styx is basically button smashing
hell, grab the tooth and get SIX
If you can't kill the rats with 1 hit then you're better off dead
More DD to god of DD
💀
💀
I just want to see it once, no need to be so greedy .-.
what?
The Chaos buff lol sorry
extra DD?
Yeah, the legendary buff
I'm like 90 something runs in without seeing it once, go Chaos every time I see it because I just want to get the damn challenge done
saw it twice for 101 run
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/457639241615409173/667877625267486769/unknown.png?width=861&height=485 there's meg in the back I'm crying 😂 😂
he knows that sharing is caring, and so does Meg
that’s what I call I duo boon 😉
I love how, if you romance Than first then romance Meg, there will be a convo that essentially is just Zag asking Than if he was cool with Zag and Meg being a thing, since most mortals aren't
and Than's response is essentially,
"*squinty eyes* Nah, mortals are weird"
Me: pops in
Someone: Supergiant Games, next game, Egyptian mytholgy
Me: ASCEND SO THAT WE CAN DEFEAT SET!
Also should I lose a DD in order to GET the DD boon from Chaos?
only if you need it the dd boon to fulfill that one prophecy, otherwise no
Ah okay. Because I was thinking maybe I needed more boons from Chaos.
or something
@supple dagger you can get Chaos DD even if u have all ur usual DD untouched
How? o .o
The last boon on the list of Chaos boons is the one that awards me +1 DD
yes
however, I've cleared a run where I visited him three times and I've seen nothing but the same rewards I've already gotten.
Well, I'm gonna attempt losing one on purpose when I come across a gate and see if that helps forcing that as a possible boon, since the wiki says rarity doesn't affect its probability of appearin.
it cant help
Chaos can give you that boon even if u have all ur DD
look here
Guy has 3 dd. 4th from chaos and Chaos just gives him 5th
2 chaos legendaries in 1 run)
yeah that was me <.<
Imagine the patroclus value
Yeah, some people managed to get that many boons. I've only managed 3 a run, so...
But yeah, number of times you got to chaos or how many DDs you have doesn't impact it. It's legitimately all random, which entirely fits the character but also makes it the worst to try to get
ended up actually needing one of those because any run without aphrodite is a lot harder for me to finish without dying
I wonder if we'll ever get any excuse besides prince Zag was giga unlucky for ending games
And whether we'll get proper reason we keep starting over
Or the game"finishes" and suddenly get hit by SGG that "thank you for your participation, the real renovation Hades was up to was this game, and we have completed it. Zagreus will now escape once beating Hades"
So will I be able to unlock skelly's 32 heat statue if I did a 32 heat run prior or does it need to be in order?
i think u can do it without beating 31 and lesser
It's Hades gonna be the FB of the complete game?
fb?
Final boss
Shame, I was hoping for one of the Olympus gods
not bad
my 1st win was
Hunting blades
i had no good idea about boons and synergie
i just took some random stuff
and tried to make it work
and when i suddenly had this thing - it was something
i even didn have time to use weapon
My first time was like "I'll change this damn weapon asap to get that spear"

I hope they make that the more you defeat Theseus, the more of your banners appear
yes it's kinda disappointing
i beat this loud guy so many times but i have only 1 soul is my fan
Hydra is easy if you know what you're doing
^
I said boring, not hard
as in, dead before it gets boring
It's fun imo
@burnt harbor u didnt try Ex Hydra

i cant beat her without losing DD
only with Chiron
It's just always the same
The easiest way to kill the Hydra is Spear + stacking cast
You pop those cast on it and you just go to town
words "spear" and "easy" are not going together with me
You just stand there watching its hp bar drop real fast
bruh
Spear is easy to use
Best start in the game
what max heat u did with it?
rn I'm basically just trying to get everyone's affection to maximum
So I'm basically not even caring about heat
affection?
Yeah, giving elixir
Nectar?
Yeah
Dude, there is no sense when you're talking about me, first rule
playing more heat to grab more blood and Diamonds
Mood™️
yes but later if u want to have some bounties game may be boring cus you alredy did much other
hm
Chaos shield is kinda similar to chiron i must say
u charge ur aa and use Q
also use them to proc Status
I didn't like the Chaos Shield very much at first
But maybe I'll give it a try with some upgrades
Chaos is the one that gives your especial one more attack right?
u can throw more shields with special
You dash and your especial gets one more shield attack
after u charge ur AA
Zagreus aspect is never good for any of the weapons, but they're cheap and always active
every other aspect either changes how the weapon functions or is a conditional effect
Why Zag aspects are so bad? Mb alecto was right about Zag is god of trash?
Zag aspect on spear is valuable
Then it really isn't on any other weapon than the spear
I don't think zag spear is good
you can already hit almost anything on the screen with the spear's base range, and the speed increase is canceled out by the increased range the spear has to travel
so zag spear is only good for sniping things offscreen, which only matters if the room is large enough for there to be an offscreen and is very hard to do
If you can hit things from far away for free dmg then you're on the winning side
yes but the spear can already do that
But not as far as it would with Zagreus aspect
i liked rail
If you didn't level it up then you wouldn't even see the difference
but more i use Eris more i like it
the effective range of zag aspect and regular spear is effectively the same
or very nearly the same
So you use Achilles aspect on the spear?
i have leveled zag spear and done a run or two with it, and the range barely does anything
it's even less of a change than zag rail
I've used a lot of achillies spear, but i've recently started using hades spear and it's also fun
spin attack into explosive launcher spam is very good kill power
Zag spear is fine for me
I don’t really want to invest in Achilles
Also I’ve heard arguments for both
I want at least 1 high level aspect per weapon
Zag aspect + infinite attack chain on spear is the dream
I don’t know if I should invest in hades aspect
i do not like spear
Because you're a nerd. HAHA
gottim
But seriously
Spear is easy to use dude
Easier than that is rail
Maybe you have a problem dodging idk
Maybe you just feel more comfortable at attacking from long distances
Which weapons do you main
how i start shield
Shield is basically all Athena and Ares
Spam the especial all the time even if there is only 1 enemy
If you can get the boon that makes the dash even faster then make sure to get it
Void shield can deflect Hades' laser beams so I've heard
oh i didnt beat 13 with bow only 12
sorry i forgot

need more 10 diamonds for song
You need to pay Orpheus diamonds for a song?
BRUH
That's some expensive song there
i only left 2
but i never saw Zagreus Hymn
so it one for now
for 10
God of dead
The first time I've requested a song he was all like
Thats a good song you chose but I song sing
He literally told me before to choose a song for him to sing but then he goes 180 on me
it was a good joke
It was so unexpected that I was like YOU TOLD ME TO!
I was really mad
Aint gonna give him no diamonds
or nectar
5 more days! Cant wait
Ikr
Heeeeck yeah! I almost defeated hades on my first try, but I was taken off guard by the second phase; it was down to the wire though! I had been stuck on Theeseus and Minotaur for so long. Loved the last area. I had such an op build with my gun
Grats! Luck will be on your side next time.
Elysium is the hardest area in the game, I think. All enemies there are so annoying and nasty
Except Strongbows maybe
yeah, and the boss at the end is brutal, which is probably why they are my favorite so far. Very reminiscent of Ornstein and Smough. I wonder if that was an influence or not. Heavy bruiser commin at you, with a smaller character that you have to contend with, typically by separating them. Where Ornstein was fast and could close the distance, Theeseus has the range to hit you from almost everywhere
yup!
the only boss honestly that has no connection to Zag is any way
is the Hydra
who just feels kind of out of place?
hmm. It is odd that he's the only one that you can't have a conversation with, but I do like that he's in the game as a boss. I think it's good to have that beastial mythological creature to fight. Although it's a long fight. THe last time I fought the hydra, though, I killed it VERY quickly and I'm starting to wonder if it's balanced so that the more you progress overall, the stronger you get, and the faster and cleaner you can get through the hydra. Maybe it's designed to be a massive endurance drain for your run, until you get powerful enough to just clear it very quickly.
man, it's hard to type without cursing.
I had to write that paragraph twice.
old habits
honestly the hydra is the easiest boss once you get the patterns down
once you know what boons to look out for and understand your weapon well
i hope there's another "bullet hell" style boss like EM furies
hydra usually dies extremely fast, only delayed due to HP-gating every 25% of its health
but way harder. when i first fought meg she made me think of touhou and I still see the resemblance. i hope there's antoher boss with big projectile patterns
true lol. the boss can still have melee obv
but I think another boss that's like megara would be cool.
yup!@
yeah I feel the hydra should interact the same way cerberus does
where the narrator says what it does
"The Hydra viciously prepares to attack Zagreus for his thoughtless quip."
"...Why do I get the feeling he WASN'T going to do— oh well here we go."
"The Hydra seems unamused at the Princes' attempts for peace-seeking conversation."
"Thanks for the support, old man."
yeah something like that
"The Prince decides to check if he knows how to speak Hydra. And whether he can placate the creature's ever building rage."
"I... do? Well, no harm in trying, I guess. horrible Hydra growl"
Hydra growls back
"Instead, he has appeared to have angered it even further."
Fight Starts
"You planned that, didn't you, old man,?"
The Hydra is super easy until you turn on Extreme Hydra Mode, at which point it's...not.
I finally met Meg in Zag's bedroom second time yay! And now I've got Meg's companion - Batty. From her description seems like Batty deals really nasty damage
I chuckle every time I get the "stay away from me or I'll have your head...s?" line.
EM Hydra is my nightmare. This is second boss battle in game in which I have a high chance to lose DD
The problem with all the companions for me is that Sisyphus's is so clearly the best because it heals you. Damage is okay, but there are lots of ways to do damage. Healing is hard to come by.
em hydra is dangerous but honestly it’s so fun, I’m bad at avoiding lava and it makes me give effort
Agree
One game ago I made it through EM Hydra with full health, thanks to a late Bouldy heal. And then I lose half of it stepping in lava trying to pick up the rest of the coins and stuff.
Yeah, EM hydra is way more fun, even if it's a royal bastard and a half.
I’ve lost a dd trying to get to the next room standing in lava 😔
Standard Hydra you can just crouch behind a pillar half the time.
Floor is lava but literally
EM miniboss Asterius is, oddly, easier than original recipe, since you don't have the gorgons.
But he makes up for it in the rematch.
oh man em thesus/asterius fight is SO good
thesus’ maniac laughter always makes me laugh too
I nearly laughed myself to death at the dialogue the first time.
Now Asterius in both versions (EM and standart) don't summon gorgons. Also EM Theuseus is so easy
YES it’s so funny
In this golden mask Theseus looks like a clown
and then Achilles later said thesus’ outfit was for someone who was too prideful to realize it or something along those lines
I love Theseus. He's such an a-hole, and yet so devoted to his big bull bro that you can't hate him.
love everyone bashing on thesus
Huh, didn't realize the dropped the gorgons from standard Asterius.
My favorite pacts are the boss/miniboss upgrades, though. Just really nice evolutions of the original fights all around.
Except for Butterfly Ball. I'm not a fan of Butterfly Ball But Two.
oh I’m glad to hear miniboss ones are good! I’ve been really hesitant to try because I lost a run to the butterfly ball the first time I tried it and I’ve feared that room ever since
Middle Management Barge of Death is insane
It is.
Once I just straightly die on it. Lost all my DDs
I hate middle management for Asphodel.
Absolutly agree with you
I am fine with double butterflies
But not fine with big wave attack from a stonehead and teleporting mediusa head.
Oh, that’s the best one, though. No additional enemies, just new moves.
Still kind of feels like a kick in the gut if you have a sword or shield run
Shield with deflect attack is actually good against Barge of Dead
is there a point to the skelly statues?
yeah, that's Theseus' stab at Achilles who, as you may remember, uses a spear, same as Theseus in the fight
which is kinda weird, I don't remember Theseus going into the labyrinth with a spear
I think he had a short sword in the depictions I saw
Theseus has no rights to insult Achilles but this is funny because I think our beloved king doesn't know who is Zagreus' theacher 
There's a special conversation if you go into the theseus fight with the achilles aspect spear
Yep. Theseus actually seems to respect Achilles
it'd be cool if zag had a line to call theseus out on that then and make him fumble and half-way take back the insult lol
I lowkey highkey want a companion item that summons Achilles and Patroculus
summoning some buddies that actually fight for a minute does sound potentially cool
i want to date theseus
sorry, his heart belongs to the bull
I'd definitely ambrosia Asterius, he seems to have gotten better after dying
unlike his buddy, who's gotten worse
Yes give Aserius nectar becsuse he deserves some love
My friend. I am not even joking. Wants to make love to Dusa.
naturally 
god i wish we could summon achilles. make his plushie a little exalted shade core and give him the fighting style of the longspears, it’d be perfect
bonus dialogue if you summon him in pat’s room
can't use summons outside of encounters, sadly
but if you could
just to think of all the gold I missed out on because of not being able to use Shady in Styx's Cerberus room...
even floating snake haired heads deserve love
EVERYONE IN THIS GAME DESERVES LOVE
Theseus not but I respect him for his choice to save Asterius from the lowest depths of Hell
Also Hades should visit psychotherapist
He's too busy for that, handling ongoing underworld renovations
Sadly
He'd have time to visit a psychotherapist if his son helped him with the paperwork.
Maybe so

He is a hard worker
how Dare You call someone but Cerberus goodest boy)
cerberus is a good boys
Love Than with all of my heart!
me toooo!
thanatos bestest boy
Want to protect him and Zag gosh their love so pure and gentle
what does this sound was?
also intresting fact
i just had Ares boon
when i have unused Aphro trinket
is it a bug?
No
Sometimes the gods even if you use their keepsake don't want appear for first time
but it's a bug
Maybe yes. Maybe no. Idk I am fine with that
they're just playing hard to get
Patroclus is the wisest man in this blasted place. Love him, he deserves it. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EOka-Q6X4AA03Uk.jpg
Pat misses his boyfriend
Let him see his boyfriend!!! 
he has a deal with Lord
I know, right
and deal is a deal
also i do not understand
Achiles tought him
Zag i mean
and now he just chills in House?
why he even here?
also why SGG forgot Achiles had a wife?
i guess i know why
Doesn't he guard the Hades room?
Maybe there are some secrets behind that door. Secrets that should be kept locked from prying eyes
but i saw shades freely come in and out
Not in that room
the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus was far deeper described in the tales than Achilles relationship with his wife
pretty sure Achilles mentions he had one though
so i just got the uh. whatever you call the little tidbits of hades talking that sometimes show up when you start a run
and this one said "nobody gets out of here alive or dead, boy. you think i jest? you think i haven't tried?"
and for the first time in the 45 hours i've put into this game i feel a stirring of pity for hades
he just sounded so. defeated about it. i dunno
I remember going to fight Hades
And he said something in the vein of
"My brothers reign over the land and sea. I reside here forever, a foreigner to their country."
Hades isn't a bad person
He's just, jaded from the realm he resides in
And thinks that Zagreus has no right to leave him alone with no family
For all the stuff people give Hades, he’s not a bad person.
He’s just a horrible father
or Zag is terrible chikd
Or both. Probably both.
Lets say it's complicated
It's not that Hades is jaded, he just doesn't get the kind of open worship as Olympians do. Plus, due to the nature of the job, he always has work to do, judging the shades.
unlike Olympians, who enjoy a much wider variety of activities
like Zeus, who bones everything that breathes
He isn't too bad in actual mythos. More like a nerdy middle aged dad
he's definitely the most "balanced" of all the greek gods
I think it’s at least implied that Hades is being severely overworked with the unnamed war happening on the surface, and takes his frustration out on Zag.
Hades did kidnap Persephone, but at least he respected her and she had plenty of power herself as the Queen of the Underworld. And she had agency, insofar as she didn't have to stay in the Underworld the entire year, an the only reason she had to after being released was that she ate half a pomegranate down there, not because of Hades exerting his authority.
He definitely better than his brothers, if to be exact Zeus
At least Hades was nice to his wife unlike Zeus to Hera
Hera was... not a good wife sometimes
Poseidon is... also not the best
Yes she isn't saint but mostly becsuse of Zeus anyway this topic is more for #off-topic-discussion so I quit my mumbling about it
Agree. Especially with Medusa ;)
in game, Poseidon can very vaguely mention the messed up stuff he did that ended up with the existence of Asterius, if you defeat Asterius in the previous run
Yep!
not all
i think the mods have come down that Greek myths unrelated to what's in the game in particular are off-topic
off-topic greek mythology discussion tends to be anything that isn't related to the game or speculation concerning plot
So, like, all the crazy stuff Artemis has done and what that says about her character is off topic. But talking about how Poseidon was spurned by the queen of Athens, so he gave her a bull she was cursed to be attracted to, and that lead to the existence of Asterius the Minotaur, that's not off topic
that's not how the myth went tho
as it relates directly to two in game characters and is directly referenced in game
i don't remember the exact deets
or even most of it probably
Minos was a Cretan king, he was supposed to sacrifice a special bull to Poseidon but instead kept that bull and sacrificed a regular one
Poseidon got angry, so he used his god powers and made Minos' wife, the queen, fall in love with the bull
ah, gotcha. Messed up the first part
she had Daedalus make wooden cow so that she could climb into it and the bull would mount it and her
fast forward, she gave birth to the minotaur, so Minos had Daedalus build the labyrinth to contain the beast
Still, get what I mean by off topic and not off topic? If there's a vague reference to it or proof of it in game, it's not off topic
yeah, yeah, gotcha
Thus why Hera is mostly off topic, unless we're talking about her bow and how she relates to it probably
how do you get Legandery keepsakes?
there are 4 characters
Tomatos Meg Skelly and Sisiphus
u gift them max nectar
and make some quest or conditions
and in some moment u will be able to gift them ambrosia
and have Comanion for that
And what are summons?
a long way, does it deserve it ?
Cpmpanions = Legandery keepsakes ?
yes
Companions summons and leg keepsakes are the same
@sinful cedar i like sisphus most
it can be used in any battle
and it grants u damg and healing
lots of healing
Companions definitely worth their price
Sisphus, Ok i'll focus on him
Meg's and Than's companions deal a lot of damage
@sinful cedar he requires 10 diamonds for ending quest
@lament flame but they cannot be used in some boss battles
or even all bosses
idk
In Hades boss battle
holy moly, how can i get it ? @fickle yoke
@sinful cedar what exactly?
10 diamonds?
there are 4 ways to get more blood/diamonds/a,mbrosia
i only have 2 cuz i killed the boss with two different weapons
1st - when you beat the game u can lvlup difficulty and have same reward for bosses
2nd - Broker
3 - Fated list
and 4 - last Charon shop(Only blood for 1500 and dia for 100 can be there)
*1000
@sinful cedar gl with that pal
thanks boyo.
3k dmg
and also cant be used in Bosses batles
sounds useful, but i think i'll need the health and coins more
and hard to aim
and the darkness
and long animation
@sinful cedar i would say u better enjoy story and playing
dont force urself something
well, i get bored so fast, so i need to put a goal to continue playing
how about.... beat the Hades at least once?)
keast ince?
what does that mean
oh, you mean at least once ._.
well, sounds like a good goal, 
You can get used to it. I switched to Mort and didn't lost my winstreak even if I can't use him in final boss battle. For me it is second useful summon in game
Thanks to Shady now I always remember about them
Companions make stacking plume in elysium possible
Some rooms you just cant clear fast enough without help
@sinful cedar what weapon do u prefer
the shield
aspect?
With titan blood?
@sinful cedar unlock all weapon
and make 1 run
and u will be able to see it
and unlock with blood
do i need to open the gun too ?
yes
ok, i need to do some research about how to unlock it
keys?
did u unlock all weapon before rail?
nope,
i didn't like the spear, so i didn't waste keys on it
but i must but it now, to unlock the aspects
if u buy fated list
and gift to Chaos 2nd and 3rd Nectar
he will give you 2 prophecies
to your list
for ending this u can have 20 keys
for each
use all Chaos curses and use all Chaos boons
the fated list is a must now, i'll get it as soon as i can
at least once
how much does it cost?
list?
yes
20 gems wiki says
Nice,
Eh okay I beat hades but I still can't use those blood titan things?
@spring radish u need to unlock all weapon 1st
I have
and make 1 run
@safe dirge did u max Sisi nectar?
@fickle yoke yah
@safe dirge and did u speak...bouldy?
so u just focus meet him
speak them
untill u will have scene with Meg in Sisi room
how many times xD
i finished the game over 50-60 times now xd
every time i get the Sisiphus room i go to him and talk to both the rock and him
i guess i am just unlucky? xd
i ll keep trying
thx though 🙂
what do u have in codex with him?
also dont forget to have 10 diamonds for him@safe dirge
Than refers to the sun as Helios' chariot. Not sure if we'll see environments past River Stix but would be fun to see how the that would be handled.
how much left before the update? kind of lazy to open the game to see the date
@fickle yoke i have 27 diamonds xDDD
3
@safe dirge good
hold up can i kiss thanatos yet
You can bone him

You need to maxed out him with nectar, than beat him in contest several times and after that you get the option to romance him. After you maxed out him with ambrosia (forge the bond with him) you just wait for him...appear in Zagreus room...
But still I WANT KISS THIS IS MORE INTIMATE THAN BANGING
Well guess I'll draw it myself then
how does Hades take off his cape through his pauldron?
If someone forgot - shield is op http://prntscr.com/qpm263
fire. he just burns off the part under the pauldron and he's able to drop and burn the rest easily enough
also, wanted to check. What exactly causes the 'no dio dialogue that eventually leads to Hymn of Zagreus' glitch? Was it just talking to Eurydice before you talk to Orpheus at all, or is there more to it?
finally finished a run after ~30 tries
https://i.imgur.com/LlzJjzI.jpg
Uh... just gotta say kissing is categorically not more intimate, despite popular sentiment 😅
If Than trusts you that much, don't devalue it!
@hard osprey 1st win?
HB is best thing in game
yeah, I got HB and then managed to snag vicious cycle just before hades
so it pretty much deleted his hp
i just had run with HB and ares leg
uhhh i never saw hades died so fast
in my runs
What's HB?
Oh
how can i get Zagreus Hymn?
Its and event that triggers with Dionysus
@fast idol ?
Uh
Well you give Dio some Nectar
and you give Orpheus some
You won't get it though as long as you have the Orpheus/Eurydice event running in the back
running in the back????
ok nvm i think i found one more intresting thing to discober
Kissing is less intimate than sex in romantic relationships. However, at least where I live, sex is something people do for non romantic reasons but kissing isn’t. I’ve never heard of fwb that make out
Yeah same
Kissing is definitely an intimate only action. Or rather, making out is. I've heard of cultures that just kiss as a greeting.
I swear everytime I get an Ares boon, Dionysus is right up next as if saying "Hey do you need wine to go with all that blood?"
Vampire Jesus definitely needs both
How can you turn blood into wine if wine is blood and blood is wine? Would turning your own blood into wine really make it wine because VampireJesus could turn them all into vampires to make blood into wine?
This I do not know, Alucard sides again with humanity.
wtf is that
And this entire conversation just made my day.
some anime stuff meh
Is anime Zelda?
Absolutely!
Beautiful!
Wait I'm still in Hades Spoilers.
Uuuh.
Guys, Zagreus dies.
But then, he like, comes back!
Never saw that coming
ugh spoilers
Spoiler alert man
i feel too old for such jokes
in my times joke supposed to be
you know
there should be some humor
That sounds like Boomer Speech mate
they was funny
It does sound like a Boomer speech XD
who is boomer
Humor in 2020 is basically created by an algorithm machine and at any day the internet decides whether or not the media we consume is entertaining or not regardless of the context.
Wait sorry I meant: "uh oh stinky!"
Trust in what I say I've been running Athena boons.
theseus: "uh oh stinky"



Artemis best girl
How can you say Artemis is best girl when Dusa exists
also you guys omg i FINALLY got the than scene

wait
lol mad i saw you typing.......
honestly same
opinions: with than and zag, who's where?
zag, in the parlor, with the gun
how much nectar do i have to give before i can give ambrosia?
6 I believe?
oh ok
"Ah, hahaha, very clever, fiend. Invoking Heracles' name, in an attempt to drive me to a jealous rage. It shall not work! But you shall dearly pay nevertheless!"
theseus i didnt say that bro tmi
im about to check this mans ego but i thought him oversharing like that was funny
Theseus is my favourite himbo
frenetic laugh Theseus
Yikes
what i was trying to say: between than and zag, who tops?
Than tops...don't judge me
we need a specific channel for sophomoric talk about hades
Hjhjhj yes
why would i judge you?
Dunno
than kind of gives me power bottom vibes tho, although zag is a total bottom
And so they both were bottoms
why not take turns
Absolutely agree with you
i hope alecto joins at some point
If she isn't she always can join to me...Gosh Alecto is something
she is
Those muscules
more importantly, there's some ‘Zag sounds’ after the yeehaa
AHAHAHA
questionable
Reminder to please keep it safe for work in here folks 
ok will do
Alecto is tough I am sick for this type of women
been conditioned, can't even swear properly here
i found i've been using freaking instead of the other one because of this server

Okay I understood you this will not happen again
hey can someone help me
What's the matter?
usability or fated choice.
oh lol 3 fated choice nvm
well it depends on what kinda build you are going for tho
since you haven't tried any of this, just try one
try everything
okayy i will thanx
rocket bomb makes your special into a rocket launcher.
spread fire makes your attack kinda like a short-range shotgun
Rocket bomb is a significant boost to the special base damage so I like it a lot.
i havent tried rocket bomb
yeah, base damage really matter in this game.
80 is a relatively higher one.
works with +% damage boons on your special
Okayyy
@terse bronze @pearl plank @last horizon updated endless mode #self-promotion
anyone has an idea for a mod?
uhh question
on meg there's a lock on one of her hearts, how do i keep progressing her stuff?
i'm not sure how to get rid of it
and i wanna progress her stuff so i can unlock her as helper
you have to beat her a couple times with the Extreme Measures Heat option at 1+
yeah i already have but sure i'll do it more time ig
Has anyone of you done 32 heat and gone on the Barge of Death with middle management and NOT lose all your death defiances?
barge of death is hell
Timer on 32 is a death sentence
only because of Elysium and bad sack RNG in Styx
otherwise, timer would've been tolerable
well, barge is a pain, too
but if you got your boons by the time you reach it, it's doable
I'm never touching the timer, only did it once for the list and that's all
having 32 heats timer flashbacks
9 mins ain't bad
7 mins is where I start sweatin
not sure why people try and attempt 32 heat with the 7 minute one
cuz it's 3 heat probably
they probably breeze through Tartarus and Asphodel and then run out of time during Elysium
ye, 3 heat you don't have to put into, say, Hard Labor or Lasting Consequences
I only got the 9 min timer for my 32 heat run, gives you so much more leeway to play properly
I h8 trap damage in Elysium, the arrow hitbox is stupid....
you are much better with traps than yours truly, lol
do not look directly at the arrow tip
one word: lava
Pro tip for Elysium: Never walk close to the walls.
just dash, loooool
i hate hydra lava heads
And lava isn't that bad, but Hydra certainly is annoying
I just cheesed it with Bouldy
Trapped it in the center
In a prison of Obals
ah, I see you're a man of
as well
i'm also love bouldy
but i'm still terrible with lava due to accidentally putting half a second between dashes to dash attack
I finally saw that bug
yeah enemies going to the corner of the lava off the map is complete bull if ima be honest
and not asterius, he's cool
the bad kind of bull
hydra heads especially
their ai is in a perpetual state of non-functioning
Would someone talk to me a little bit about the Yarn of Ariadne? Does getting increased rarity ever give extra effects or does higher rarity just mean increased numbers?
Given the choice between a boon and a chance to upgrade my next boon, I should take the boon, right?
Every (normal) boon has a base rarity of common and rarities that go all the way up to Heroic. All they do is change the base numbers (say attack damage %) on said boon.
Yarn just makes the next one(s) you see have a full level of rarity higher than they would have been without they Yarn.
so for example, if you were to get a god gift with a common, rare, and an epic boons, with the yarn it would've looked like rare, epic, and epic isntead
cool. do you tend to buy those on sight? my assumption has been that I could save that 70 gold for buying boons in the future
but better powers are better, too, so idk
it depends entirely on your situation
Yeah highly dependent
do you want gold for the shop? do you want gold for Charon's stuff?
do you want gold to buy diamond/blood in Styx?
I usually only get one when I have an abundance of gold, or I am specifically relying on the next boon I find for DPS
Like I'm carrying a god relic on Asphodel and I'm hoping to get it on a specific part of my kit
also, if you have Poseidon/Dionysus duo boon that sets minimum rarity to epic, do not buy yarns
they'll do nothing for you
usually get the yarn if I have money to spare. Or being really unlucky with boons prior.
with the mirror upgrade and keepsakes I don't feel it's necessary.
yarn is definitely more important on Hell because of the mirror limiter
you run into common boons regularly
^
Is it possible to get heroic boons on an empty slot or can u only upgraude to heroic by changing one slot?
(These are good tips, thankyou)
you can only upgrade to heroic
the only exception is Eurydice's upgrade
it can turn your epics into heroics
oh well.. upgrade. more like replace the old boons cause usually you get a heroic boons from a different god for the slot.
yeah some really rare heroics from Eurydice if ur real lucky
I do wish you could just get heroic randomly, or force it with a yarn
gonna suggest that
yeah... usually mess up with my build so I don't choose them.
it's not all that rare to get heroics from Eurydice
especially with Poseidon sword runs, if you get your Artemis cast
I mean like Eurydice upgrade some heroic boons that usually you can't pick up.
I usually have 2 boons by the time I reach Eurydice 
like those passives
