in the room
i've tried and zag says he's not tired
damn no clue then
oh
it says on the top left corner when you can rest to progress that
so idk
and zag says he could rest as well
unrelated to that, i have a few things in the codex that are undiscovered and i dont know what they are?
whatever's under chaos in "the underworld" tab, as well as whatever's at the bottom of the list with all the currencies in it
erebus and the onion
how do you get those things?
those are the 5 10 15 heat gates
you get the onion by failing in erebus
Can someone tell me if the new sword aspect's special is also the same circular thing that the other aspects have or not?
Yes, but it also spawns a glyph inside which you are more resilient and enemies are slowed
It's also super wide
Very efficient
The aspect is totally worth it imo
It also slows projectiles like that one duo boon
i can only imagine the crit damage on that
me too
i have no idea what it was
i couldn't see anything with all the effects ¯_(ツ)_/¯
chaos never gives me anything other than more money% or special damage%
what heats do you guys pick for 16 heat?
im thinking of doing the invulnerability ones cause the fist can hit so fast
not a bad idae
how many time can i upgrade a weapon aspect before it's max ?
All Aspects go to level 5.
ty
I think part of this was because of the Pact of Punishment, but I just got a tiny new room in Asphodel that was filled with 10 Liner Brimestones... which was not good becuase I had Aspect of Arthur on me...
Hey guys, do you get Excalibur from Nyx? She seems to be eluding me for the past few runs
https://imgur.com/3QUkk4C
already max out
its seem like you have to trigger something first to get
@quartz ingot check pins on this server, I believe you need at least 5 titan blood invested in the sword
If you've checked all of that criteria off then all you can do is wait for nyx to talk about it
Also does anyone know what the tags on the companions mean? e.g. https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/hades_gamepedia_en/5/55/Mort.png?version=ee098c4be91d6b8969bca3a43f044c5f
CC (heart)
B
Nyx finally told me about the Orpheus file
Mort(is)
I know they're Greek symbols like battie has alpha, mort has beta etc etc
But what does the CC and the heart mean??¿
Chthonic Companions
The thing to progress with his story
cthonic companion and the heart probably just symbolizes the deep bond you have
Do I need to speak with Eurydice first before I can go into the Aminstrative Hall and do the thing?
Uh I think the administrative hall requires you go to sleep and trigger a flashback cutscene
Then you can speak to the contractor
You'll know when to sleep bc the game will prompt you much like it did for the flashback about Persephone
Hey wait a minute, before I even try, is there some witty mid-battle dialogue if I try to use Battie against Megaera?
Don't think you can use Meg against herself
Otherwise it might get...way into "Why you hitting yourself, Meg?" territory
I mean yeah that makes sense. Stuff like trying to use Thanatos against Megaera or Dusa against Hades. I just want to know if it just tells you "Summon Unavailable" or if there's dialogue just after lol
well I think there might be commentary
I know some things actually trigger comments from bosses which is neat
welp, just got the fishing bounty from Poseidon lol
It says summon unaivalable if you use battie against meg
Nothing else?
how to unlock that fist weapon?
Does anyone know how many diamonds it costs the reunite the musicians? I've taken the contract from the room but than Zag said that it may take a while to appear in the contractors shop
And I only currently have one diamond
I don't know. I haven't had the contract show up yet that allows Euridice and Orpheus to be reunited
the gauntlets are fun lol
Just did a run with gauntlets and Athena deflect on attack
what do we need to do in order to get the musicians reunited?
so far all i have is the room to all the scrolls and stuff opened but nothing's showing up in there to go farther and both of them have full hearts before the next one is locked
@primal cipher 5
OH MY GOSH! I JUST hit the dialogue where zag asks about zeus and hades settling their differences, and zeus suggests that they should claim that zag is zeus's son and not hades, which in proper greek myth, zagreus is the son of zeus and persephone.
I was just like WHAT A FANTASTIC EASTER EGG
have you gotten the one where Dio says they should pull a prank on Orpheus?
or the one where Meg growls that Than is helping Zag before her boss battle?
oh i just got that one a couple hours ago lol
I've gotten a lot of the unique dialogues about a lot of stuff
I've got the song where zag is the son of dionysus already
okay ya
It's basically Meg getting irrate that her boyfriend's other boyfriend is making her job of punishing her boyfriend back into the House
I've actually maxed out the Meg and Than relationships
wait are than and meg dating?
and sisyphus, and am working on dusa's now
No, but they both can date Zag
valid
Zag is Meg's boyfriend, Than is Zag's "other boyfriend"
i honestly just maxed out achilles, than, and the musicians with nectars and now im giving things to everyone else now that i have the main ones i wanted lol
I'm actually nearly maxed out on basic nectar to most everyone actually
hell ya
i was like "eh i dont really care about them" and have just been trading everything for titan bloods but now that i have 17 titan bloods and all of my weapons are maxed out on the aspects that i want im gonna actually start buying things from the contractor and giving nectars to people which i probs shouldve done earlier lol
also i love that there's a disco ball you can put up in the house
what's the max heat you can get?
like 50-something?
so im a fifth of the way there with the gloves... and those are my best so far lol
well the implications are that bounties are ending after 20 heat in normal mode and 25 in hell mode. For 32 you get the last statue, and further is only pain in huge supply.
bragging rights :’)
valid
maybe they’ll be achievements in the future
Honestly I’m scared for the achievements in this game, I’m not THAT good at this game but I want that 100% 
Honestly, I'm getting enough blood to have atleast 2 aspects on each weapon, and back to 0 heat I go, cuz NO. I'm not doing 32.
valid
also im excited for achievements cause it'll give me even more random stuff to do 😄
so, are there any theories of what the hole in the admin chamber might be?
what are admin chambers
I had the Sisyphus contract available to purchase, but now it's gone. Do I need to further the relationship more with others? Not sure if I got bugged or just not there yet
@spiral pond the administrative chamber
oh the i lost my job chamber
I think it pretty clear, about the hole. It's a portal For Hades to travel around the Underworld.
Wait real quick, do you get the side stories finished by ranking up your friendship with them or through things like the new room?
Some are done without the new chamber, all Shade-related questions are made to use the new room.
Can you have a platonic relationship with one of the suitors when youre in a romantic one with a different one?
you can have a romantic one with both
But also yes you can turn them down at the final cutscene if you want. The choice is your's and they won't be mad either way.
ahh yes, that makes more sense with the question given, sorry 
Nah, you're good, most people ask that as a follow up anyways.
But if you give them gifts they view it as romantic, right?
Its just the fade to black scene youre missing out on if you ease off at the last moment
Meg and Than sort of yeah, they get the feeling it's more romance thing you doing.
hello! i have a question about a small event
i heard there's a set of scenes where hermes says the other olympians don't know he's helping; then supposedly zagreus can tell charon this, who gets angry. is there some kind of bond level i should be at with the two for this to trigger or is it just random chance...?
It's an amount of Nectar with both Charon and Hermes, though I can't tell you how high.
(sorta maxed those two pretty fast so it all just went in a stream)
okay thank you! i maxed charon's bond first, and was tossing nectar at hermes at high speed. glad to know i was on the right track

I see, thank you!
Yeah on normal mode it makes more sense to start practicing 32 heat after 20 heat instead of doing 21-31
oops I did it again.... commenting on an old thread of conversation
Sssooooo do you have to do a run before Orpheus's contract becomes visible, or is it supposed to be immediately?
I mean after acquiring it from the room
It was instantly visible for me.
But making a quick run to kick the game to the shins is not a bad idea too.
is it just me or the very on cerberus' wiki has increased more veries than before becuase i remembered there were only 3
wanna hear something cursed?
what if the faces on Chaos/Nyx's family are actually a part of their bodies i.e Hypnos' belly button face
You not really giving a choice looking at "the typing bar"
couldn't help myself
Just bought a couple of things from the contractor, Zagreus just said "It'll take some time before Orpheus's contract will show up."
If that ain't word for word, then basically that.
Hades: "The price for that is well beyond your means!"
Me: "Hmmmmmmmmm"
Zagreus: "In the name of Hades-"
saaaaaaaaameeeeee
How do you reunite orpheus and eurydice
I don't have any new dialogue options for either of them and no option to gift anything more
my guess is they added another level on the lure
lyre
Get admin room open.
Talk to nyx.
Get the papers in the admin room.
Wait for contractor to give you an option to buy out.
Wait
You get the papers in the little dream sequence?
No. When outside of that in the admin room
I either already got them or they never appear
i'll have everyone know hat romancing both meg and thanatos at the same time while they are clearly each under the assumption that you want to be exclusive is a scumbag move
If you romance them both, they know of it and fine with that, with the other actually letting know they are already in romance.
Yeah they are chill with it
Either my game is bugged or my rng is terrible surrounding this event
yep! i romanced thanatos after romancing meg and zagreus explicitly brings it up with thanatos, asking if thanatos is ok with him being in a relationship with meg
to which thanatos says that meg was the one who convinced him to go speak to zagreus in the first place.
there's also a tidbit where they're both in the lounge and they amicably greet you haha
hooray for healthy polyamorous relationships
I'm not sure if they're all that healthy aha
what with killing each other relentlessly over and over again
sorry for asking something so far from the current discussion but how do you unlock the locked weapon aspects?
so unlocking the spear one is investing enough blood on spear aspects?
oh, thanks!
you do need the spear though
Yeah you do need guan yu aspect unlocked
Hello all, bit of a question here, Orpheus, I bought the contract that allows him to go see his muse, but the prophecy is unfulfilled and he hasn't returned.
Since I did it I have even passed the muse and he wasn't there. Am I missing something?
Also, I can't seem to get to finish SIsyphus' favour, I have talked to Meg and Him about it, but hades never mentions it, nyx never mentions it, and I can't seem to move forward on that
For sisyphus you have to buy his contract from the contractor
I can't even unlock the contract to allow orpheus to leave
i'm 20+ runs into the new patch, have 2 items left to buy from the contractor, have no more gift options for either orph or eury
have checked the admin room costantly
For Sisyphus, the contract hasn't appeared, otherwise I wouldn't be here. What specific Steps do I need to take for it to appear?
And for Orpheus, I talked to Nyx, she was all like "Here is where his contract is in the admin room", so I got it, which sent it to the contractor. I bought the contract from the contractor. He then Orpheus was all like "Oh I should go see Euridice". And Zagreus is all like "Totes mate, go take a break and see her".
Hades even had a go at me for buying it.
But after like 8 runs, he still hasn't appeared back at the house and whenever I see Euridice she just chats like normal, no Orpheus, nothing
Check the wiki, i know the steps for sisy are there
I reunited Nyx with chaos but I don't think she ever has talked about orph's contract
See I have no idea how to reunite them, do you just keep talking? I've heard that shes the one who helps you unlock Aspect of Arthur, no idea how I'm meant to get her to do that!
And with Sisyphus, it just says
Talk to Sisyphus about the sentence DONE
Talk to Meg about the sentence DONE
Talk to Hades about the sentence NOT DONE (because he won't talk about anything, do I need to get his hearts up too?)
Check the pinned messages for arthur
in this channel
its the first one
you might need to get his hearts up, or you might need to just keep dying until his dialogue event happens
take of dds and keep dying to speed up the process
but check the wiki to make sure you havent missed something
Cheers mate
Bah, "having invested a certain amount of Titan Blood into Blade aspects". Does that mean unlocking all of the aspects, or does it mean level 1 aspect up completely, or just spend a certain amount across the 3 aspects? Gah! I love this game, but it certainly is all about chance and trial, even with the story elements.
Also, literally Orpheus just showed up with Euridice, so like, speak of the devil and he shall appear?
people have been throwing around the number 5 for titans blood in sword
just throw it all in zag aspect
This run. I could almost build up enough charge while athena call was up to use the next call right after: https://imgur.com/QKLj5Xh
Wow, complaining to the discord really does work. Finally nyx gives me the dialogue for orpheus
I had Sysiphus in the shop and the patch deleted it lol
130 clears?! Jesus, I'm on 2 :S 55 runs, I think abour 35 of them reach Hades, and then his 2nd phase destroys me.
Are you using a full call on phase 2?
It's not that useful on P1 cuz of the immune summons so you can keep it at 75 on P1 and use the full on p2 to rush it
Hades part 2 is mostly about 3 things : Dont get full bongo concert played on your bum, Dont get Lazer'd, Do damage before one/both things prior happen to you.
Also a good Idea to train yourself with I-framing the Sweep.
just athena call and mindlessly punch works though
rebind your move keys
shield dash shield dash shield dash
i meant hades the boss
oof
then shield dash all the way
rush kick
i wonder how Zagreus dies at the end after killing hades
I wonder how Persephone looks
demeter but greener and younger, i guess
i wonder how Zagreus dies at the end after killing hades
@crimson haven there's a hole in the ground zag steps on it breaks his pinkie and is unable to move, he stays there ''for all eternity''... until a wretch decides to bring him back to the house of Hades
someone continuously booby traps the exit and zag falls for it every time
yup
and when the full game comes out the Contractor will have the ''Fix the hole at the exit'' for 100 diamonds lol
and that is the end of the so called underworld renovations
100 diamonds to bribe the narrator to stop killing zag at the end
good point
how do you unlock the arthur aspect of the sword?
ty
after the Artemis + Zeus interaction, is there anything specific that has to be done to unlock their hearts level or just gotta keep getting their boons until another event triggers?
aint nothing like a H U N T I N G B L A D E S
I feel like they buffed Ares this patch too? i remembered the blades dont go through enemies as fast as before to do some real damage, but it is still the least favored cast for me if used alone
or fighting against boss
So, I'm doing the Orpheus quest, and Nix told me I can look up his records in the Administration Room, but to choose my time carefully. Initially, I was thinking that means "lose to Hades in the final battle so he doesn't show up in the house," but I can't really imagine Supergiant saying "please lose to advance this quest." So I guess I have two questions for anyone that knows:
- Does losing to Hades advance the quest?
or 2. Or is it a progression that will just unlock with time/doing more runs?
One thing I'm sure is: this game almost never put you in a situation where you'll lock yourself out of something
I mean, if the Fates put it in a prophecy, it must eventually become reality.
Yeah, I figured as much (although they have been bugged before). I was just thinking if that is the way to advance it, I'd do it next run, and if it's not, then it'd be good not to "waste" a run taking the intentional loss there.
Man the little descriptions of how Zag dies upon a successful escape are a nice touch
I can just imagine Zagreus walking out of the underworld after killing Hades, just to slip on a banana peel and go through a kind of Rube-Goldberg machine and die at the end
He stumbles all the way through the underworld, back into the pool again, Looney Tunes style
I really would like to see a way to take cerberus for a walk or ride him
like some bizarre WoW mount
Who's guarding the door while Cerberus is downstairs ?
Hey quick question y'all
I have not gotten to Hades in a looong time
Since when does he have a second phase?
Has he always had it?
yeah
Does anyone know how to further your relationship with Zeus and Artemis?
Just give them nectar, no?
But past the new lock
I've been using them a lot and equipping their keepsakes. Aside from just more runs I'm not sure what to do
https://i.imgur.com/6QhMbTD.jpg
@gilded grove also loved the outcome of this prank (and Zagreus' reaction)
Okay, I have finished the OrpheusXEurydice quest, the NyxChaosRenuion quest.
have anyone unlocked Artemis's bond and Zues' bond yet?
Wait, how do you trigger those quests
Yeah the whole Zagreus Dionysus joke is great
I’m max with eury and it hasnt happened yet
I think just by maxing out relationship with those?>
The fact they composed a whole track for it is even better
@sweet oar well, when I unlocked Orpheus contract in the administration room, Hades is not present.
the prank quest? try equipping dionysus' keepsake, it triggers when you talk to him first in a run, i think
But I can buy that contract later in the contractor's shop with 5 gems, while Hades is sitting right there being confounded.
lmfao, good to know, thanks
Just speak to Nyx, she would tell you the exact contract and you can walk into the admin room to retrieve it
I actually just found the contract in the room, weirdly enough. Like, within the last minute
With or without Hades sitting there?
Then Zag said it should be with the contractor, but it wasn't, so I imagine I have to do another run
yeah
With him sitting there, so it looks to be there isn't a requirement for him being away
Cool. Good to know
I actually threw my last run in asphodel too, because I hated my setup and wanted to restart, so it worked out pretty well
There's a nice touch on Meg's "private conversation" talk now lol. You would see a heart on her speak bubble.
But why can't I woohoo with Than yet?!
ive bought the orpheus and euridice thing from the renovator and all that and orpheus has gone off to meet euridice but when i got to euridice in the next run he wasnt there, is it random?
hol up is nyx a goddess or a titan
chaos calls her a goddess but i was under the impression that she was a titan that defied the olympians
she's a goddess, but I think she may have come before the olympians?
Iirc the personification deities (nyx, chaos, Hypnos, thanatos, Erebus, etc) are separate from and older than titans as well as olympians
But I could be wrong, I just know they don’t fall into either camp
Yeah, personifications/incarnations of abstractions basically
interesting
Like she’s not the goddess of night, she IS night
hm. so why would nyx's parent refer to her as a goddess?
(But when being personified you may call her as much)
ah
Probably because those older beings consider themselves to be the OG if I had to guess
Olympians cast down the titans but notice how hades didn’t get rid of that group, not sure if he could and keep things functioning
Not even clear they have any power over them or vice versa
before this update nyx's dialogue with hades was different and it implied that she defied him and he defeated her, but spared her under the condition that she work with him
now it seems like its more like nyx was lazy and hades stepped in and it was mutaulism
*mutualism
Hah
thats my impression at least lol
Tbf it may be different in game where they’re all humanized, like zag and than being raised together... when was literal death “born”? Lol
hmm thats an interesting point
cause there's a picture with than meg and zag as kids so like
Mhmm
Yeah, did no one die prior? Was there a different entity?
there wasn't a god with that dominion before
but the thing they represent/are in charge of still existed
like people had blood before zag was born prolly
The trick is I think the game may treat them as the gods of x, whereas in myth they are a personification of the abstract concept of x
Kid-Than, why can I imagine him walking around with Mort and Zag, glowering at the shades who tell him to smile
precious little edgy baby
(while dragging a sleeping Hypnos behind him)
oh my i just realized poor hypnos was excluded from that picture :(
He slept through the making of it
That...is probably true
It's not so much as headcanon as "Well it's Hypnos, what'd you expect?"
wonder what baby alecto and tiss were like
Mhmm lol
Alecto probably was the sister bully
lol
So not much actually changed
i'd like to think tiss didn't get reduced to saying murder beforehand
I wanna know what tiss was like before being warped by her job
tho it would be really fascinating arc to learn what happened
Tisiphone probably liked to make puns
I'd actually not mind if Tisiphone threw a wrench in the monotony of the escapes
by speaking a full sentence
and making a Hades pun
i wonder if she's even capabale of it
Honestly that would terrify me at this point
or meg's right and she's been reduced to like a husk
If you used batty against her and she had actual dialogue briefly with meg I would cry
Well the thing about Meg's perspective is that she may have just given up on trying to reach Tisiphone
thats true
They're all basically work-oriented people
id love to learn more about the sisters but they don't show up in the lounge (yet?)
much to the detriment of their relationship
Wonder if tis has met than, speaking of “MMMMMUUURDERRRRR”
yeah, im just saying that idk is sgg plans to include them in the lounge in the future
I imagine tis would try to punish too many people who live in the house lol
Or she'd just make dog puns
or they'll just be bosses we beat and learn stuff from a la the codex
Yeah I’d like to know more
and make Cerberus sad
I wonder if it'd be a good bet to guess that Alecto mentioned something about Persephone
then kept on hammering a point
Ooh, or kept prodding with regard to zag’s red blood
Because I mean if Zag could possibly get away with half the crap that he does and not get kicked out, it'd take something REAL:LY bad to get the boot
or or or
threw a tantrum
she wanted to be in the relationship with Zag
Oh nooooo
We know that Hades pushed Zag and Meg together
either Alecto didn't want Zag with her sister
I could see it, she does kinda tease him and seems forced with some of her smack talk
or she just wanted Zag herself
Possibly because he'd be a fun "diversionary experiment"
Tangent: the foot end of the bed would never be cold thanks to zag, I can’t blame anyone that sounds great
Zag sleeps?
Once or twice lol
well he never sits
Other things are done in beds
Could you imagine giving him a footsie? No wonder Than and Meg are the only ones who could date him
"Sorry I stepped on your foot Zag :("
"Sorry my feet disintegrated yours, Than :("
"I float. Shrug"
"Showoff"
zag when he gets to the surface and discovers things like grass and wood floors: oh no
if you cast while in the house he does spinsies
i think
maybe they patched that out
i think they did 
awww
that would be awful for Zag 😦
Zag, seeing a new thing from outside: guess this will kill me.
"Sorry mom, I set your house on fire ;-;"
the narrator is just sparing zag from more pain
"I blame Dad."
zag starts a fire and then uses poseidon boons on it
ITS OKAY (uses poseidon cast) YOUR HOUSE STOPPED BURNING
Then Poseidon sees Persephone and freaks out, causing the Olympians to go into an uproar. Then Demeter happens.
What if grandma made it cold and snowy so we could walk on the surface more safely
Arendelle has nothing on what Demeter would do to the world
well it is technically an unending winter on the mortal world
i really love how sgg took demeter and made her a semi-winter goddess
i was like "haha shes just plant goddess"
Blame Demeter
and then got surprised with the creativity
and technically that is her domain
It works well when you make her that angry
she did cause the world to go icy
maybe thats why there's a war going on
It's also a clever tie-in to Persephone being missing
the long winter is eating at resources
Oh probably, resource war
when Persephone is MIA, Demeter pulls an Elsa
Yeah, that
When she has Persephone in her grasp like an old Mother Gothel, then she's happy and springtime
Someone could literally rewrite the movie Tangled with a Frozen crossover
and you could have Demeter and Persephone's relationship
i think theres a fairly popular theory that elsa and rapunzul are sisters or something
and tarzan
Probably more close to cousins
and ig anna too
They never landed on any land, they died in the sea
the Tangled/Frozen thing might also be connected but it's hard to know if they're related or if Rapunzel is just visiting as a dignitary of Corona. Then again, Disney is fond of easter eggs.
but yeah, Demeter/Persephone is Mother Gothel/Rapunzel in Greek mythology
Then when Mother Gothelmeter gets angry, she makes an ice palace for one and ices the world.
it's also why I kinda feel uncomfortable with Demeter when she calls Zag "Little Sprout"
It just seems condensending in a way
everything is below her notice and she frankly doesn't care much for anything that isn't a part of her design
that green ribbon is a nice touch i must say
(although I wonder if part of that is linked to the fact that she fell in love with a mortal"
Goddess falls in love with a mortal and has a daughter. MOrtal dies. Mother Issues Intensify
persephone or demeter?
Demeter
ah
Flatout says that Persephone's father was mortal
So at some point, she wasn't a mortal glowering Imperial Ice Mage
Actually she wouldn't have been that distraught over everything had it just been seduction tbh
I think Demeter is literally the emotional backlash of what happens when an immortal being falls for something less...resilient to the ebb of time
mayhaps shes's just really insecure
Her beloved dies, she clings to Persephone as the only thing that matters to her since she's the last piece of her love
her voice noticeably changes at the implication that persephone willingly left her
Yeah, still fits
the fact that someone who is a symbol of the love she had
is WILLINGLY leaving her?
She might read that as "Your love is DEAD"
and as natural for the Greek gods, if something irritates you...make everything in the world suffer for it
Basically Demeter is extrodinarily unnerving to me
Nyx is best grandma by comparison
and from what I read from her lines with Thanatos and Zag
Zag's escape is a part of the Fates plan
and everyone, including Than, plays their part
i thought hades was the one who was manipulating zag and the fates were just having fun
Maybe both
Well the Fates manipulate everything
true
I’m just imagining the Fates sitting wherever they are like “yooooooo you know what’d be hilarious?”
"What about Zag dying to a very snuggly arctic fox?"
"....Atropos, that is highly specific of a death"
“Well he needs to get sent back somehow”
"Lets have Than bring him back with an offer to cook dinner for him."
"....CLOTHO, NO."
“CLOTHO YES”
That would probably be far too entertaining to see the Fates make an appearance
hghjfjfvhjfvhjfvhj
There'd be a lot of potential for humor
Yeah, I’m pretty sure we’ll never see the fates in person. But it’s hilarious to imagine.
and they are relevant to the game 😛
and they're technically one of the three most powerful beings IIRC
only rivaled by their brother Moros (who is kinda their boss), and Primidorial CHAOS
@supergiant MAKE IT HAPPEN
(You don’t have to. But it would be funny.)
heck yes
"Don't worry, we asked Than and Meg if we can cuddle you." "Don't disappoint us. Or else."
wait whos moros
"Yay CUDDLES."
just killing and spreading fear and death is enough for me thanks
Moros is the god of inevitable fate
o
nyx has a lottttttt of children
Is also one of the beings that enforces Order upon the universe
I know they’re on the server, but sometimes I wonder if the Supergiant team come in here to see if people are picking up on the clues they’re laying down and see this kind of thing going on
well they do look at #hades-feedback so mayhaps
And are just like “wat”
I think Moros could be a good potential inclusion
i think hes too obscure
i myself am very ''wat'' right now
i would love to see the rest of the olympians tho
Well to modern people yeah
I mean Zag was an obscure god and look where he’s at now
but to the ancient Greeks, Moros was feared
Actually he was called Dread Moros in mythology
since cities prolly didn't really focus on all gods, only a couple at a time
People genuinely had to pretend that he didn't exist
Out of fear of his aspect dooming them all
He's also the one who basically makes the general blueprint for the Fates IIRC
So basically Zag's struggles and his deaths? Moros has a hand in it.
The funny deaths at the end? Moros is there smirking at him.
It's also where we get the word Morose
really? thats cool
Yeah, especially how do you feel when you realize that nothing you do would matter or change anything? Morose.
Basically he has an instant "I win" button against every single being except for Chaos
moros too op pls nerf
Well they tried to nerf him
then he crashed the balance of chaos and order
and Primidorial Chaos turned everyone into dancing chickens in tutus
and made Hades do the hoola
The Olympians begged Moros to stop the madness so he got his powers unnerfed
(and Nyx is there coddling him cause mom)
Basically people in Ancient Greece had several major fears. Hades (like he's portrayed ingame), the Fates, and Moros.
could be interesting to see how he'd weigh in on the whole mischief with Zag
wait a second. nyx had a daughter that had something to with day right? helena? but shes different than helios?
Hemera
ah
ah
Basically Hemera is the aspect of the daytime (in contrast to the Night)
Yeah, Nyx's children are powerful
Could be worse
Meg could fall from the blasted sky
be caught by Zag
then they could have a song written about them by Orpheus
(Meg would go ballistic)
Then Than would fall from the sky, be caught by Zag
only to be asked why he didn't just float
"Meg suggested that I try this at least once in my life"
Hades would be standing there wondering what happened to his life to deserve this
I wanna meme on Hades really hard, summon Bouldy on him, Greater Call Dionysus on him, and use his own spear against him
"Why are you splashing wine on me?"
"Did a boulder just fall from the blasted sky?!"
"What in my name are you doing, boy?!"
Could be funnier
Aphrodite Greater Call
Hades should just have a blunt "...what in the world are you THINKING boy?"
Could be funnier if Hades clapped back against Aphrodite
"Persephone was more beautiful than you'd ever be, Aphrodite."
Imagine the rage.
"Meh, Persephone did worse."
when zag says "that eyeball... is that him?" when he first kills an exalted, who is referring to
That sounds like he's encountering an Exalted for the first time
Pretty sure that's what he means, if it's his first time in Elysium
I was spamming left click bc I wanted to look at the alternate cursors (click vs idle) and a notification popped up that said "no fighting in the house" followed by a bit of dialogue from hades lmfaoooooo
I didn't know you could do that
I wish they would actually face each other, but this is nice 
Also, I wonder if this "positively inspirational" event would mean... a new song in future update?!
Gotta be a credits duet.
Hell yeah my man Orpheus
Also, why the hell Artemis keeps talking about this "My Callisto" out of the sudden?
so when we have a veiled figure thats obviously placeholder art for an npc. so whos depicted on the pillars in tartarus?
So, they changed Demeter to be the daugther of other titans, and she claims kinship with her sisters who helped fight the titans, as the last mythological "inacurracy" was the crux of the game (IE Persephone), and in this case I'm ok with reducing the incestuous content, is there another reason to change it?
Oh, because lore-wise, game Hades didn't rape game Persephone ?
I guess that's much more tasteful
i don't think hades raped persephone even in the original myth
i can only remember zeus raping demeter, which resulted in persephone
I'm .. pretty sure he did 
How about that statue called "The rape of Persephone" ?
Oh well I guess he "abducted" her, probably to talk poetry or something
thats fair, but also there are many myths that possibly contradict that. namely clever persephone
ew ew greek mythology
I don't think the ancient myths were as bothered with consent as we were nowadays I suppose
ew ew
the game definitely wants to stay away from more distasteful subjects, and can i ask that we do so in our discussion as well? thank you all!
yeah kam. sorry!
yeah this definitely isn't a discussion to have in public channels like this, if you'd like to continue this topic i advise taking it to DMs
Chrustaceans apparently "swim up from the riverbed in search of companionship"
It's adorable, I want one, and I wish they didn't give me resources from the chef.
aww
they just want a friend....
and you went and caught them and served them for dinner you monster 
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
ill just repost a question i asked earlier for speculation purposes. if we have a veiled figure for obvious placeholder art for an npc, then whos depicted on the pillars in tartarus? charon? he was teased at the end of the trailer for a new deisgn
Ey, I was finally making the Sisyphus questline
They mention the administrative room being open
I suppose that's a recent change
blargh, i think it just generic people on the pillars
darn
What does the eldest sigil work order do?
Just had a run with Fists + Aphrodite attack + Unhealthy Fixation = punching Dad until he loves me
Hahahahaa i gotta try that
https://imgur.com/a/p7U83lI
About Zues ad Persephone
Also, I really don't like Zeus this update, he's so... gross
His conversation with Artemis for their Duo is... meh. I thought Artemis could stay being a virgin goddess is because she manages to convince Zeus for her to stay that way.
I'm not sure how to feel about Hades laughing every time that I charm him...does charming a boss even do anything?
Charming just interrupts their attacks for a while
Mainly interrupting them. Once I managed to charm Minotaur during his spin, he took out Theseus for me
Eh, weird.
Also, awesome.
Narrator: Profound and foreboding description of Erebus
Zagreus: "Is this where father's goons gather to attack me?"
isn't erebus like nyx's husband lol
hm
does that meant asphodel and elysium are also incarnations of an abstract concept
if tartarus and erebus are as well
AFAIK no, asphodel meadows and Elysium are actual underworld realms, not sure where asphodel came from but it’s more firmly in hades domain, Elysium depending on the source seemingly was cronus’s realm and only became part of the underworld proper later. Tartarus and Erebus are like a primordial always-there-under-it-all thing a la chaos where realm = person (like calling the underworld hades because he runs it, but deeper)
wait, just to backtrack a little... does artemis really refer to her as "my callisto"?
She also refers to the nymphs as her's in the same dialogue, so it's more a recounting I'd assume, since she's talking about companions and friends/allies.
whos callisto
Nyx mentionned that it is possible to free Orpheus from his contract
isn't that the island nymph lady?
Part of Artemis' nymph squad
o
But I have to wait the "right" time, got orpheus and eurydice max out affection wise
You get another conversation with nyx before then
maybe one with achilles? and then definitely one with hades (that i was able to have literal seconds before i unlocked it so idk if that affects anything)
do you have to have nyx relationship maxed in order to get the excalibur text?
damn, three runs and no prompt...
Alright I'll wait for it
House RNG can be real bad sometimes, but I hope you get it soon!
For excalibur you also need the Guan yu aspect btw (and maybe finish a run with it ?)
you don't need to finish a run with it, just have it unlocked
maybe attempt a run but you shouldn't have to beat it to get excalibur
can I get a confirmation about how to progress with orpheus and eurydice
i mean i don't know how to describe it
i have the prophecy to get them back together
both their affinity lines are on locked hearts
i've talked to hades about their contract
and I believe megara as well
Basically you get two conversations with Nyx about the Contract, randomly.
awsome more random events took me 25-30 runs to get the last encounter with megaera
Has a someone returned nyx to chaos already?
Dear gods
Wow, this kinda sucks, actually, lol.
I wish there was a way to reset the house without wasting time on intentional deaths
Eh, at least I have an excuse to try anyways.
Is there different promotional art pieces in which Zagreus wields the other weapons beside The Sword and The Spear of Gan Yu?
@flint bluff i did it she has a conversation with him and then comes bk u will find her in his realm and need to talk to her
That's a bit of a leap though isn't it?
There's a couple of other things before you see her within Chaos's realm.
u need to talk to her a couple of times and then she will give u a quest to give her 8888 darkness to open the way for her
A little better, but I can be a bit more specific, here:
u need to also do the quest to open the new sub room
it seem u need way more darkness than before i find myself farming them too now :x
still i wonder if u get more darkness by the higher heat u clear
Nah
i see then its probably most efficient to just do 0 heat runs
I farm with poseidon's boon , sisyphus companion and especial weapon
Gets me like 98 darkness per boss
Up to 130
so far what i do is get into a lot of darkness rooms and pick those 200% darkness increase things
Chaos boon is good too
when he offers it at least
It begins with a chance that Zagreus will ask Nyx about her relationship with Chaos.
Talking to Chaos about this furthers the questline.
Starting from this update, another conversation will also be available between Zagreus and Nyx about this.
Another conversation after another run will actually give you the minor prophecy. Zagreus recommends to Nyx that she can put her request to Zagreus as a work order, but it will not appear until later, like Orpheus's contract.
When you pay for the work order, you talk to Nyx again after the next time you complete (or fail) a run. Even if Nyx is present during the payment, she will not yet be ready to talk about the renovation.
Of, course considering also speech RNG
So that's the detailed part about the questline.
Hm? Oh, no diamonds included.
Oh thank god
its that 8888 darkness i told ua bout
Ok
Who's is paying skelly tho
Ok Aspect of Talos + Quake Cutter = Fun as friiiiiiiick
I tried it, it was p cool
Talos seemed like a nice guy...U_U
They really turned Orphic Dionysus into a pun in this game, huh?
Ain't it great
lol
I really don't like the look of Theseus riding around on a chariot with armcannons laughing maniacally
What are the conditions for unlocking the aspect of Arthur?

Now if only we knew how to get past Zeus and Artemis's Affinity locks.
hey thugs
i take it you're referring to us
how do i unlock the next heart in thanatos's heart stuff
yes i am 
i want to hold his hand and maybe kiss him a little
oh you just have to keep running into him
do i have to keep waiting.
he'll have some Special dialogue
yeah, unfortunately 😔 dw i've been in the same boat as u
mister thanatos pls come here
i just want to love on you and maybe cry a little bit
why is zagreus's type Mean To Him
like. why is that his type
He usually appears in the hall if you found him during the run
yeah but i think the dialogue needed to unlock the heart has to happen out in the field
You know
Since there aren't many legendary guns in history
Is the rail gonna get the aspect of Henry viii
Ey anyone could tell me what the lounge shortcut does exactly?
It makes a small(?) opening on the wall opposite the broker
Lol, then I'll spend the gems in something else
zagreus is a freakin' pimp. Either that or he's a Visual Novel protagonist on the harem route.
Why not both 
Can I friendzone Thanatos after giving him all the ambrosia?
Can I friendzone Meg after fiving her all the ambrosia?
I love Meg, but I think it's a little too much between us lately
Yes to both
Yeah... until you constantly see them talking to each other when they didn't even talk to each other before
Zagreus: connecting people
Honestly tho? Yeah
zag walks into the lounge. well if it isn't our mutual friend, meg says. enjoy the peace and quiet with us zag, than says
....this is actual dialogue i've had. i suppose it is a little bit jarring, but in fairness meg and than have made references about speaking together/being acquaintances prior to the game's events so maybe once they aren't wanting to throttle zag every time they see him it isn't too outrageous for them to mellow out
Okay, so I decided to bring Thanatos' Keepsake with me. Fought Asterius and Theseus. Managed to knock both their healths down enough, so I decided to use the keepsake and the Ring of Death simultaneously killed BOTH of them.
Isn't it GREAT
I love it indeed. Was mostly using it more to help unlock the Codex for it, but my god, I was NOT expecting it to just SNAP them like that.
Additionally, on this run with the Twin Fists, I feel like I have roughly every Zeus boon possible, with the exception of the Call, Attack buff, and Revenge passive. And the Dionysus duo boon. and the Dash that, for some reason, I thought I had despite having the Athena boon
zeus boon on fists feels so strong
It really does! Zeus, we would like a WORD
the range boost from the hammer surprised me so much as well
i expected like maybe 20%
not whatever the hell it is
I enjoy the upgrade that adds an additional punch to the attack combo.
that one is really good with athena attack
what are the requirements for the bond dialogue w/ thanatos?
i've had one with orpheus, nyx, meg, dusa, and skelly iirc
keep talking to him and win against him a bunch of times
otherwise it’s just rng
so i just found out that if you keep not taking Artemis when you choose between two gods she stops doing the "wow rood" talk to you but everyone else ive seen continues to do that
😦
it's not even that i dislike artemis, she has my favorite boons tbh, she just keeps on only showing up in the duo boon areas when i have a different build and so she's the second choice D:
i noticed that too
it may have been background noise, but it sounds like she's saying something unintelligible
without a dialogue prompt
oh i havent heard anything like that but i hope so lol
okay so you know the elite giant butterfly ball thing? i dont know what caused this but it like LAUNCHED at me immediately and that's the first time ive seen it, is there like a pact thing that causes that?
extreme measures
err
the other one
that buffs mini bosses
wait i just talked with nyx and she had her downcast art while talking about persephone... hm that doesn't bode well
Middle Management?
yep. that one
ohhh okay that makes sense
ya it seems like persephone was like good but sometimes could be really mean? that's the vibes im getting at least
or mayhaps there's something up with her?
iirc the dialogue was something about why nyx pretended she was zags mom and she was like "when you'll meet her you'll find out why"
i was like 🤔 wot
ya... im not sure D:
sgg is teasing us 😔
perhaps not
as far now, it is. zag dies by the narrator's hand and returns to the house of hades
but i think theres speculation that maybe zag will go to olympus
Btw i noticed that sometimes gods get mad. Why?
during trials?
its cause they didn't get picked by zag lol so they kinda retalitate for that chamber but then they go back to normal
and horny
petty and horny are the main two character traits of all the greek gods
Every so often I see someone summarize the entirety of a monstrously large work in less than 15 seconds.
Well done, Felby. Well done.
They appear to be decent gods at first, but then they turn out to be extremely petty.
"What's that? You didn't pick my buff? I am now angry, and I hope you die."
it's very clear the gods/goddesses that offer you boons are merely pretty much easy to get angry or dislike you. Each of them has their own sort of downside trait to go along that describes them.
i just got some dialogue that talked about achilles relationship with patroclus and... what's with that? its either these greek gods are mega good people and say they love their friends or there's some shenanigans going on
achilles and patroclus were super gay for eachother
I think most of them are doing this all to get benefits from zagreus/annoy hades/or just for fun.
Dio is for all three
Patroclus and Achilies had their ashes mixed together when both died, so I mean, it's pretty blatant
aww thats so sweet
and yeah, Achilles and Patroclus were lovers before they died, but you can sort of fix their struggles, but a bit, there is still no certain help for them to like reunite sadly
Yet.
one day, can we have two gay dad warriors unite once again.
Current patch spoilers so I'm being extra cautious: ||We can reunite Orpheus and Eurydice, I believe we'll be able to reunite Patrochilles.||
You will eventually
i actually just started working further on that one Schpoon 😄 im so excited lol
god i want my two dads to be happy
There's a text dialog where one of them says ||"Don't try it yet. Fates can twist words."||
And another spoiler for the patch: ||And same can be done for Nyx and Chaos, I think.||
and final final final ||reunite hades and persephone||
Wok, yeah. I just finished that one. It's sweet.
OwO Wok
I will say there's a *@!#(& tiny rat now.
I HATE THE TINY VERMIN
And if you see the tiny rat. May gods have mercy on you
Yes, tiny Vermin. That lil bastard.
I really have to catch up tbh
Angry Dad has nothing on FURY VERMIN
still haven't reunited any of them, but I am there.
you'll get it eventually! 😄 just takes time and giving everyone nectars and eventually ambrosias
I kinda wish the Tiny Vermin has his own boss theme, but I'm okay with The Bloodless right now.
why was he so stronk?
I hope there's a few more bonus bosses like him. He was a nice surprise.
same
i really wanted Zagreus to say "why is there boss music playing?"
I actually wanted the music to change halfway through that fight to have latin or greek chanting
Because that's when you know stuff is dangerous.
as long as we don't get gorgan and stonehead 2.0 I am all for new bosses
MM Dire Skullcrusher stomps three times in a row. 
teleports and throws a ton of rocks
if we get another Gorgon boss im going to cry
so i just denied zeus in a choice boon and he's so mad i love it
Zeus is the most fun to screw over but least fun gameplay wise. I fear his bolts of thunder
ill be honest i think demeter is worse than him but i definitely am going to choose those two from now on they're kinda hard to deal with lol
Demeter is worse definitely
the one right next to your room? ya
I mean the one who comes out in the update
ya
oh i just realized... Persephone in myth leaves the underworld for half the year... but she's gone during the summer and it's winter currently and she isnt here and that's why it's such a big deal
granted that could change in the game's lore
is there a specific requirement for arthur to pop up besides having all the other blade aspects and having guan yu?
you only need a minimum of 5 titan blood invested into the blade, you dont necessarily need all its aspects. but otherwise no. its just rng, the game will prioritize story dialogue first
these are some big spoilers i think: ||THANATOS JUST SHOWED UP IN MY ROOM AAAAA||
from who's dialogue do i get arthur from? im assuming nyx, but she hasnt popped up in the house for a while now
ya it's Nyx
it's nyx. you will see an exclamation point above her but not the normal round bubble. the round bubble is story-related dialogue, the one for the aspect will be the jagged bubble
it took me 12 runs from the time the update dropped before i finally got it, i think other people have left feedback too that the game should not bump back the aspect quest in the queue so far back. let me have the weapon first and then you can dump all the story on me in the following runs lol
yeah was kinda confused so thought i was missing a requirement
nope, if you've unlocked guan yu and have 5+ titan blood invested in the blade thats all you need. the rest is down to rng
hey guys, ive been trying to unlock the aspect of arthur but it seems that i cant give nyx the last nectar, any tips i need to know about?
Do you have Guan Yu yet?
yep
Ok, I think it might just be bad luck then, I think the only prerequisite is unlocking x amount of aspects
You definitely don't need to max out Nyx to get it
i thought that was what the locked heart was for
No that's for mending the Chaos gate
I'm told you need to put 5 titan blood into the sword
The method of unlocking arthur is also pinned for those still wondering
Then talk to Nyx like it's your last breathing moment
Are you not allowed to reroll hammers?
Nope.
boo
Guess they need to balance the new reroll some how
Of course
so the convo earlier where we talked about hating having to choose against zeus and demeter... well im just now going into a thing where the choices are zeus and demeter
meta
ive heard the devs read our comments and individually influence our games accordingly
That's why if you ever have trouble unlocking something due to RNG, complain here and it'll happen next run
Pick me
I've been complaining like all the time about Athena Legendary not existing, maybe I need to whine more 
I do feel like they could axe Athena's death defiance restoration perks tbh
I'm not finding any boons aside from Zeus 💀
Nooo I love the defiance restoration boons
I lost all my death defies but one and then got the skelly keepsake, a kiss of styx, and both of the boons from athena and it saved my run
pretty much all types of defiances.... except for.... chaos which still eludes me. If complaining helps I’ll keep doing it 👁️ 👁️
Just keep that egg with you at all times
I do :(( sometimes I do that and then just don’t see them the entire run
Hey guy just a quick question how do you unlock the new stuff?
check out the pins in this channel for the aspect of arthur!
you might need to do a run for some stuff to appear?
Thanks dude 
so I got Orpheus' restraining order from the administrative chamber but it isn't showing up in the House Contractor menu, is that normal?
What is that new "Huge catch" boon from Poseidon?
it increases the chance for fishing spots in each chamber
so does poseidon have 2 legendary boons now?
I would assume unlocking the archives lets you find Orpheus and Achilles' contracts
Nope, Orpheus and Sisyphus
oh?
not yet for Achilles
ahh
But yeah, Sisyphus got his quest updated. Now you need to get into admin room first.
Not yet.
mmm, i get ya
Alright, now I have a question
those shade fans you get in the Elysium boss battle
do you only get one?
or do more pop up the longer you play?
Yes. This is one and only.
ahh
lul the statue you get after an +8 run
statue?
Had nothing meaningful there to interact with
There are more of these! Do 16 and 32 heat run to see them.
yeah this huge ass figure in the training room @terse jasper
Just wait until you see the other two statues.
mmm
Yep!
idk anything about statues right now, at the moment im trying to seduce Death
ah, sorry
tbh the filter is kinda stupid
I was saying i sounded like Thanos or Deadpool
trying to s*x death
i mean you'd think a game full of incestuous and bloodthirsty gods and death wouldn't require censorship of language
Yeah since there are some young fans in here possibly, gotta keep it pg. Also the game doesn't involve any incest what's ever. Supergiant actually adressed that.
Rip zagXartemis then
But bloodshed, family issues and all that exists In the game yep.
Yeah they did. There is no plan or actually something to do with incest. At most a poly relationship.
Yeah it would.
interesting, sure
please dont try to bypass the swear filter.
also, this isnt this sort of game, so let not discuss that here.
you can take it to dms if you really want to.
Yeah, sorry, should have stopped at the start.
Hey Alma, we didn't try but the bot doesn't like the word seduc
no it wasn't seduce, it was a swear
