#

You gotta sleep

ember hazel
#

in the room

golden ether
#

i've tried and zag says he's not tired

queen trout
#

damn no clue then

ember hazel
#

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

golden ether
#

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

signal palm
#

erebus and the onion

golden ether
#

how do you get those things?

signal palm
#

those are the 5 10 15 heat gates

golden ether
#

oh okay

#

how do you get the onion then

signal palm
#

you get the onion by failing in erebus

golden ether
#

oh okay

#

cool time to start playing on 5 heat lol

summer geyser
#

8888 Darkness to fix the portal for Nyx, oh god

#

This is going to take a while

ember hazel
#

nah

#

it goes in a flash

odd pike
#

Can someone tell me if the new sword aspect's special is also the same circular thing that the other aspects have or not?

queen trout
#

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

indigo cipher
#

It also slows projectiles like that one duo boon

ember hazel
#

i can only imagine the crit damage on that

topaz fog
#

me too

#

i have no idea what it was

#

i couldn't see anything with all the effects ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ember hazel
#

chaos never gives me anything other than more money% or special damage%

viscid fjord
#

what heats do you guys pick for 16 heat?

#

im thinking of doing the invulnerability ones cause the fist can hit so fast

topaz fog
#

not a bad idae

short cradle
#

how many time can i upgrade a weapon aspect before it's max ?

atomic forge
#

All Aspects go to level 5.

short cradle
#

supple dagger
#

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...

quartz ingot
#

Hey guys, do you get Excalibur from Nyx? She seems to be eluding me for the past few runs

clever fern
#

its seem like you have to trigger something first to get

marble prawn
#

@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

#

CC (heart)
B

deep spoke
#

🅱️one

#

kidding, I have no idea

summer geyser
#

Nyx finally told me about the Orpheus file

thorn compass
#

Mort(is)

marble prawn
#

I know they're Greek symbols like battie has alpha, mort has beta etc etc

But what does the CC and the heart mean??¿

thorn compass
#

Chthonic Companions

thorn hare
#

Orpheus file?

#

Do you mean the solitary confinement one?

summer geyser
#

The thing to progress with his story

drifting citrus
#

cthonic companion and the heart probably just symbolizes the deep bond you have

deep spoke
#

Oooo

#

That makes sense

marble prawn
#

Ohhhh that would make sense

#

Case closed until further notice, thanks y'all

supple dagger
#

Do I need to speak with Eurydice first before I can go into the Aminstrative Hall and do the thing?

marble prawn
#

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

fathom current
#

Hey wait a minute, before I even try, is there some witty mid-battle dialogue if I try to use Battie against Megaera?

coarse stone
#

Don't think you can use Meg against herself

#

Otherwise it might get...way into "Why you hitting yourself, Meg?" territory

fathom current
#

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

coarse stone
#

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

lament flint
#

It says summon unaivalable if you use battie against meg

fathom current
#

Nothing else?

lament flint
#

I haven't tried again

#

Maybe something can be triggered

tall harbor
#

how to unlock that fist weapon?

primal cipher
#

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

atomic forge
#

I don't know. I haven't had the contract show up yet that allows Euridice and Orpheus to be reunited

coarse stone
#

the gauntlets are fun lol

#

Just did a run with gauntlets and Athena deflect on attack

ocean drum
#

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

haughty carbon
#

@primal cipher 5

atomic forge
#

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

ocean drum
#

have you gotten the one where Dio says they should pull a prank on Orpheus?

coarse stone
#

or the one where Meg growls that Than is helping Zag before her boss battle?

ocean drum
#

oh i just got that one a couple hours ago lol

atomic forge
#

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

ocean drum
#

okay ya

coarse stone
#

It's basically Meg getting irrate that her boyfriend's other boyfriend is making her job of punishing her boyfriend back into the House

atomic forge
#

I've actually maxed out the Meg and Than relationships

ocean drum
#

wait are than and meg dating?

atomic forge
#

and sisyphus, and am working on dusa's now

coarse stone
#

No, but they both can date Zag

ocean drum
#

valid

coarse stone
#

Zag is Meg's boyfriend, Than is Zag's "other boyfriend"

ocean drum
#

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

atomic forge
#

I'm actually nearly maxed out on basic nectar to most everyone actually

ocean drum
#

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

dawn crater
#

waitWHAT

#

YOCANDOTUHEUnintelligable madness That's cool

lime marsh
#

I beat the 32 heat run

#

it took me 210 tries

#

but I finally did it

ocean drum
#

what's the max heat you can get?

restive elk
#

like 50-something?

ocean drum
#

so im a fifth of the way there with the gloves... and those are my best so far lol

restive elk
#

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.

ocean drum
#

ah

#

do the statues give anything other than just looking cool?

frozen jolt
#

bragging rights :’)

ocean drum
#

valid

frozen jolt
#

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% blurryeyes

restive elk
#

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.

ocean drum
#

valid

#

also im excited for achievements cause it'll give me even more random stuff to do 😄

trail plinth
#

so, are there any theories of what the hole in the admin chamber might be?

spiral pond
#

what are admin chambers

pliant hinge
#

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

trail plinth
#

@spiral pond the administrative chamber

spiral pond
#

oh the i lost my job chamber

restive elk
#

I think it pretty clear, about the hole. It's a portal For Hades to travel around the Underworld.

pine yarrow
#

Wait real quick, do you get the side stories finished by ranking up your friendship with them or through things like the new room?

restive elk
#

Some are done without the new chamber, all Shade-related questions are made to use the new room.

viral vortex
#

Can you have a platonic relationship with one of the suitors when youre in a romantic one with a different one?

trail plinth
#

you can have a romantic one with both

flat shell
#

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.

trail plinth
#

ahh yes, that makes more sense with the question given, sorry shadeembarassed

flat shell
#

Nah, you're good, most people ask that as a follow up anyways.

viral vortex
#

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

haughty carbon
#

Meg and Than sort of yeah, they get the feeling it's more romance thing you doing.

prisma field
#

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...?

flat shell
#

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)

prisma field
#

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

prime swallow
#

at high speed

#

hermes

prisma field
viral vortex
#

I see, thank you!

lunar ibex
#

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

fathom current
#

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

restive elk
#

It was instantly visible for me.

#

But making a quick run to kick the game to the shins is not a bad idea too.

spiral pond
#

is it just me or the very on cerberus' wiki has increased more veries than before becuase i remembered there were only 3

thorn compass
#

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

restive elk
#

You not really giving a choice looking at "the typing bar"

thorn compass
#

couldn't help myself

fathom current
#

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.

fathom current
#

Hades: "The price for that is well beyond your means!"
Me: "Hmmmmmmmmm"

#

Zagreus: "In the name of Hades-"

restive elk
#

saaaaaaaaameeeeeeshadesmile

lunar ibex
#

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

haughty carbon
#

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

lunar ibex
#

You get the papers in the little dream sequence?

haughty carbon
#

No. When outside of that in the admin room

lunar ibex
#

I either already got them or they never appear

queen trout
#

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

haughty carbon
#

If you romance them both, they know of it and fine with that, with the other actually letting know they are already in romance.

lunar ibex
#

Yeah they are chill with it

#

Either my game is bugged or my rng is terrible surrounding this event

queen trout
#

there is dialogue for that ?

#

cool

marble prawn
#

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

queen trout
#

I'm not sure if they're all that healthy aha

#

what with killing each other relentlessly over and over again

keen pasture
#

sorry for asking something so far from the current discussion but how do you unlock the locked weapon aspects?

haughty carbon
#

Greg talked about it.

keen pasture
#

so unlocking the spear one is investing enough blood on spear aspects?

haughty carbon
#

No on blade aspects

#

5 titan blood to be exact

keen pasture
#

oh, thanks!

queen trout
#

you do need the spear though

haughty carbon
#

Yeah you do need guan yu aspect unlocked

fringe void
#

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

lament flint
#

For sisyphus you have to buy his contract from the contractor

lunar ibex
#

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

fringe void
#

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

lunar ibex
#

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

fringe void
#

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?)

lunar ibex
#

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

fringe void
#

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?

lunar ibex
#

people have been throwing around the number 5 for titans blood in sword

#

just throw it all in zag aspect

#

Wow, complaining to the discord really does work. Finally nyx gives me the dialogue for orpheus

vague stratus
#

I had Sysiphus in the shop and the patch deleted it lol

fringe void
#

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.

slim pecan
#

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

restive elk
#

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.

dense sparrow
#

just athena call and mindlessly punch works though

lunar kiln
#

it's possible to beat hades without using your move keys

#

wont tell you how though

prime swallow
#

rebind your move keys

dense sparrow
#

shield dash shield dash shield dash

lunar kiln
#

it involves the fists

#

no dash either

prime swallow
#

shield dash means u can't jump across ledges

#

sometimes meaning softlock

lunar kiln
#

i meant hades the boss

prime swallow
#

oof

dense sparrow
#

then shield dash all the way

lunar kiln
#

no shield

#

just the fists

summer geyser

#

i wonder how Zagreus dies at the end after killing hades

summer geyser
#

I wonder how Persephone looks

dense sparrow
#

demeter but greener and younger, i guess

ember hazel
#

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

hollow charm
#

someone continuously booby traps the exit and zag falls for it every time

ember hazel
#

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

hollow charm
#

100 diamonds to bribe the narrator to stop killing zag at the end

ember hazel
#

good point

daring rune
#

how do you unlock the arthur aspect of the sword?

ember hazel
#

there's pinned message on this channel

#

they can explain better than me lol

daring rune
#

dense jay
#

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?

spiral pond
#

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

sweet oar
#

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:

  1. Does losing to Hades advance the quest?
    or 2. Or is it a progression that will just unlock with time/doing more runs?
tight flare
#

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.

sweet oar
#

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.

winged hazel
#

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

queen trout
#

He stumbles all the way through the underworld, back into the pool again, Looney Tunes style

timber obsidian
#

I really would like to see a way to take cerberus for a walk or ride him

#

like some bizarre WoW mount

queen trout
#

Who's guarding the door while Cerberus is downstairs ?

lunar kiln
#

Cerberus

#

he's just very fast

haughty carbon
#

Cerberus goes upstairs in under 3 minutes

#

through secret dog door

god I love concentrated knuckle

#

oak mango
#

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?

lunar kiln
#

yeah

oak mango
#

Dang
I'm rusty as hell, then

#

Ty

gilded grove
#

ahahaha

#

okay this got me good

primal cipher
#

Does anyone know how to further your relationship with Zeus and Artemis?

gilded grove
#

Just give them nectar, no?

primal cipher
#

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

halcyon willow
shy nimbus
#

Okay, I have finished the OrpheusXEurydice quest, the NyxChaosRenuion quest.

#

have anyone unlocked Artemis's bond and Zues' bond yet?

brazen silo
#

Wait, how do you trigger those quests

winged hazel
#

Yeah the whole Zagreus Dionysus joke is great

brazen silo
#

I’m max with eury and it hasnt happened yet

shy nimbus
#

I think just by maxing out relationship with those?>

winged hazel
#

The fact they composed a whole track for it is even better

shy nimbus
#

@sweet oar well, when I unlocked Orpheus contract in the administration room, Hades is not present.

frozen jolt
#

the prank quest? try equipping dionysus' keepsake, it triggers when you talk to him first in a run, i think

shy nimbus
#

But I can buy that contract later in the contractor's shop with 5 gems, while Hades is sitting right there being confounded.

sweet oar
#

lmfao, good to know, thanks

shy nimbus
#

Just speak to Nyx, she would tell you the exact contract and you can walk into the admin room to retrieve it

sweet oar
#

I actually just found the contract in the room, weirdly enough. Like, within the last minute

shy nimbus
#

With or without Hades sitting there?

sweet oar
#

Then Zag said it should be with the contractor, but it wasn't, so I imagine I have to do another run

shy nimbus
#

yeah

sweet oar
#

With him sitting there, so it looks to be there isn't a requirement for him being away

shy nimbus
#

Cool. Good to know

sweet oar
#

I actually threw my last run in asphodel too, because I hated my setup and wanted to restart, so it worked out pretty well

shy nimbus
#

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?!

uncut ibex
#

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?

exotic mist
#

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

terse plover
#

she's a goddess, but I think she may have come before the olympians?

exotic mist
#

yeah i think so

#

i feel like in myth shes a titan but i can't remember...

low blade
#

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

exotic mist
#

ah

#

that makes sense

#

are they called incarnations also?

low blade
#

Yeah, personifications/incarnations of abstractions basically

exotic mist
#

interesting

low blade
#

Like she’s not the goddess of night, she IS night

exotic mist
#

hm. so why would nyx's parent refer to her as a goddess?

low blade
#

(But when being personified you may call her as much)

exotic mist
#

ah

low blade
#

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

exotic mist
#

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

low blade
#

Hah

exotic mist
#

thats my impression at least lol

low blade
#

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

exotic mist
#

hmm thats an interesting point

#

cause there's a picture with than meg and zag as kids so like

low blade
#

Mhmm

exotic mist
#

what happened before they were born?

#

ig maybe its like

low blade
#

Yeah, did no one die prior? Was there a different entity?

exotic mist
#

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

low blade
#

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

exotic mist
#

tho sometimes maybe they got replaced

#

like selene and artemis and helio and apollo?

low blade
#

Like Thanatos is the one who carries out death but really he just is death

#

Mm maybe

coarse stone
#

Kid-Than, why can I imagine him walking around with Mort and Zag, glowering at the shades who tell him to smile

exotic mist
#

precious little edgy baby

coarse stone
#

(while dragging a sleeping Hypnos behind him)

exotic mist
#

oh my i just realized poor hypnos was excluded from that picture :(

low blade
#

He slept through the making of it

coarse stone
#

That...is probably true

#

It's not so much as headcanon as "Well it's Hypnos, what'd you expect?"

exotic mist
#

wonder what baby alecto and tiss were like

low blade
#

Mhmm lol

coarse stone
#

Alecto probably was the sister bully

exotic mist
#

lol

coarse stone
#

So not much actually changed

exotic mist

i'd like to think tiss didn't get reduced to saying murder beforehand

low blade
#

I wanna know what tiss was like before being warped by her job

exotic mist
#

tho it would be really fascinating arc to learn what happened

coarse stone
#

Tisiphone probably liked to make puns

exotic mist
#

awwww that makes it so much worse

#

😔

#

rip tiss

coarse stone
#

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

exotic mist
#

i wonder if she's even capabale of it

low blade
#

Honestly that would terrify me at this point

exotic mist
#

or meg's right and she's been reduced to like a husk

low blade
#

If you used batty against her and she had actual dialogue briefly with meg I would cry

coarse stone
#

Well the thing about Meg's perspective is that she may have just given up on trying to reach Tisiphone

exotic mist
#

thats true

coarse stone
#

They're all basically work-oriented people

exotic mist
#

id love to learn more about the sisters but they don't show up in the lounge (yet?)

coarse stone
#

much to the detriment of their relationship

low blade
#

Wonder if tis has met than, speaking of “MMMMMUUURDERRRRR”

coarse stone
#

Alecto got banned from the lounge

#

for severe insubordination

exotic mist
#

yeah, im just saying that idk is sgg plans to include them in the lounge in the future

low blade
#

I imagine tis would try to punish too many people who live in the house lol

coarse stone
#

Or she'd just make dog puns

exotic mist
#

or they'll just be bosses we beat and learn stuff from a la the codex

low blade
#

Yeah I’d like to know more

coarse stone
#

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

low blade
#

Ooh, or kept prodding with regard to zag’s red blood

coarse stone
#

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

low blade
#

Oh nooooo

coarse stone
#

We know that Hades pushed Zag and Meg together

#

either Alecto didn't want Zag with her sister

low blade
#

I could see it, she does kinda tease him and seems forced with some of her smack talk

coarse stone
#

or she just wanted Zag herself

#

Possibly because he'd be a fun "diversionary experiment"

low blade
#

Tangent: the foot end of the bed would never be cold thanks to zag, I can’t blame anyone that sounds great

coarse stone
#

Zag sleeps?

low blade
#

Once or twice lol

exotic mist
#

well he never sits

low blade
#

Other things are done in beds

exotic mist
#

i do wonder if thats like an inside joke tho

#

oH

coarse stone
#

Could you imagine giving him a footsie? No wonder Than and Meg are the only ones who could date him

low blade
#

But you do have two story beats where you seem to dream

#

God yeah lol

coarse stone
#

"Sorry I stepped on your foot Zag :("

#

"Sorry my feet disintegrated yours, Than :("

#

"I float. Shrug"

#

"Showoff"

runic terrace
#

zag when he gets to the surface and discovers things like grass and wood floors: oh no

exotic mist
#

if you cast while in the house he does spinsies

#

i think

#

maybe they patched that out

runic terrace
#

i think they did zagpensive

exotic mist
#

awww

coarse stone
#

that would be awful for Zag 😦

haughty carbon
#

Zag, seeing a new thing from outside: guess this will kill me.

coarse stone
#

"Sorry mom, I set your house on fire ;-;"

exotic mist
#

the narrator is just sparing zag from more pain

coarse stone
#

"I blame Dad."

runic terrace
#

zag starts a fire and then uses poseidon boons on it

#

ITS OKAY (uses poseidon cast) YOUR HOUSE STOPPED BURNING

coarse stone
#

Then Poseidon sees Persephone and freaks out, causing the Olympians to go into an uproar. Then Demeter happens.

low blade
#

What if grandma made it cold and snowy so we could walk on the surface more safely

coarse stone
#

Arendelle has nothing on what Demeter would do to the world

#

well it is technically an unending winter on the mortal world

exotic mist
#

i really love how sgg took demeter and made her a semi-winter goddess

#

i was like "haha shes just plant goddess"

coarse stone
#

Blame Demeter

exotic mist
#

and then got surprised with the creativity

coarse stone
#

and technically that is her domain

low blade
#

It works well when you make her that angry

coarse stone
#

she did cause the world to go icy

exotic mist
#

maybe thats why there's a war going on

coarse stone
#

It's also a clever tie-in to Persephone being missing

exotic mist
#

the long winter is eating at resources

low blade
#

Oh probably, resource war

coarse stone
#

when Persephone is MIA, Demeter pulls an Elsa

low blade
#

Yeah, that

coarse stone
#

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

exotic mist
#

i think theres a fairly popular theory that elsa and rapunzul are sisters or something

#

and tarzan

coarse stone
#

Probably more close to cousins

exotic mist
#

and ig anna too

coarse stone
#

and the Tarzan one was debunked

#

by the second Frozen movie

exotic mist
#

was it really?

#

well then

coarse stone
#

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

exotic mist
#

that green ribbon is a nice touch i must say

coarse stone
#

(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

exotic mist
#

persephone or demeter?

coarse stone
#

Demeter

exotic mist
#

ah

coarse stone
#

Flatout says that Persephone's father was mortal

#

So at some point, she wasn't a mortal glowering Imperial Ice Mage

exotic mist
#

maybe her cornucopia was full

#

with food

#

seduction via snacks

coarse stone
#

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

exotic mist
#

mayhaps shes's just really insecure

coarse stone
#

Her beloved dies, she clings to Persephone as the only thing that matters to her since she's the last piece of her love

exotic mist
#

her voice noticeably changes at the implication that persephone willingly left her

coarse stone
#

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

exotic mist
#

i thought hades was the one who was manipulating zag and the fates were just having fun

dusty elbow
#

Maybe both

coarse stone
#

Well the Fates manipulate everything

exotic mist
#

true

coarse stone
#

that's kinda their whole gig

#

They're ALL manipulating Zag

dusty elbow
#

I’m just imagining the Fates sitting wherever they are like “yooooooo you know what’d be hilarious?”

coarse stone
#

"Than falling for Zag?"

#

"...Stop shipping our brother with his friend Clotho."

dusty elbow
#

“Aww”

#

Well technically we are the fates
We and supergiant

coarse stone
#

"What about Zag dying to a very snuggly arctic fox?"

#

"....Atropos, that is highly specific of a death"

dusty elbow
#

“Well he needs to get sent back somehow

coarse stone
#

"Lets have Than bring him back with an offer to cook dinner for him."

#

"....CLOTHO, NO."

dusty elbow
#

“CLOTHO YES”

coarse stone
#

That would probably be far too entertaining to see the Fates make an appearance

runic terrace
#

hghjfjfvhjfvhjfvhj

coarse stone
#

There'd be a lot of potential for humor

dusty elbow
#

Yeah, I’m pretty sure we’ll never see the fates in person. But it’s hilarious to imagine.

coarse stone
#

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

dusty elbow
#

@supergiant MAKE IT HAPPEN
(You don’t have to. But it would be funny.)

coarse stone
#

Romancable Moros when?

#

Romancable Three Fates could possibly be hilarious as well

dusty elbow
#

heck yes

coarse stone
#

"Don't worry, we asked Than and Meg if we can cuddle you." "Don't disappoint us. Or else."

exotic mist
#

wait whos moros

coarse stone
#

"Yay CUDDLES."

ember hazel
#

just killing and spreading fear and death is enough for me thanks

coarse stone
#

Moros is the god of inevitable fate

exotic mist
#

coarse stone
#

#

The brother of the Three Fates and Thanatos and Hypnos

#

and child of Nyx

exotic mist
#

nyx has a lottttttt of children

coarse stone
#

Is also one of the beings that enforces Order upon the universe

dusty elbow
#

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

exotic mist
dusty elbow
#

And are just like “wat”

coarse stone
#

I think Moros could be a good potential inclusion

exotic mist
#

i think hes too obscure

ember hazel
#

i myself am very ''wat'' right now

exotic mist
#

i would love to see the rest of the olympians tho

coarse stone
#

Well to modern people yeah

dusty elbow
#

I mean Zag was an obscure god and look where he’s at now

coarse stone
#

but to the ancient Greeks, Moros was feared

exotic mist
#

well

#

it was more likely moros was feared in small pockets

coarse stone
#

Actually he was called Dread Moros in mythology

exotic mist
#

since cities prolly didn't really focus on all gods, only a couple at a time

coarse stone
#

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

exotic mist
#

really? thats cool

coarse stone
#

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

exotic mist
#

moros too op pls nerf

coarse stone
#

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

exotic mist
#

wait a second. nyx had a daughter that had something to with day right? helena? but shes different than helios?

coarse stone
#

Hemera

exotic mist
#

ah

coarse stone
#

Helios is the Sun

#

Hemera is the Daytime

exotic mist
#

ah

coarse stone
#

Basically Hemera is the aspect of the daytime (in contrast to the Night)

"Did a boulder just fall from the blasted sky?!"

coarse stone
#

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

coarse stone
#

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.

Also, why the hell Artemis keeps talking about this "My Callisto" out of the sudden?

exotic mist
#

so when we have a veiled figure thats obviously placeholder art for an npc. so whos depicted on the pillars in tartarus?

lunar axle
#

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?

queen trout
#

Oh, because lore-wise, game Hades didn't rape game Persephone ?

#

I guess that's much more tasteful

exotic mist
#

i don't think hades raped persephone even in the original myth

#

i can only remember zeus raping demeter, which resulted in persephone

queen trout
#

I'm .. pretty sure he did thanthink

#

How about that statue called "The rape of Persephone" ?

#

Oh well I guess he "abducted" her, probably to talk poetry or something

exotic mist
#

thats fair, but also there are many myths that possibly contradict that. namely clever persephone

I don't think the ancient myths were as bothered with consent as we were nowadays I suppose

does that meant asphodel and elysium are also incarnations of an abstract concept

#

if tartarus and erebus are as well

low blade
#

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)

re: uniting

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.

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

fathom current
#

A little better, but I can be a bit more specific, here:

torn junco
#

u need to also do the quest to open the new sub room

flint bluff
#

Oh thanks

#

I'm saving it right now

torn junco
#

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

flint bluff
#

Nah

torn junco
#

i see then its probably most efficient to just do 0 heat runs

flint bluff
#

I farm with poseidon's boon , sisyphus companion and especial weapon

#

Gets me like 98 darkness per boss

#

Up to 130

torn junco
#

so far what i do is get into a lot of darkness rooms and pick those 200% darkness increase things

flint bluff
#

Chaos boon is good too

torn junco
#

when he offers it at least

flint bluff
#

Yeah

#

Thats the sad part

fathom current
#

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.

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

supple dagger
#

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.

flat shell
#

Isn't it GREAT

supple dagger
#

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

ornate siren
#

zeus boon on fists feels so strong

supple dagger
#

It really does! Zeus, we would like a WORD

ornate siren
#

the range boost from the hammer surprised me so much as well

#

i expected like maybe 20%

#

not whatever the hell it is

supple dagger
#

I enjoy the upgrade that adds an additional punch to the attack combo.

ornate siren
#

that one is really good with athena attack

vague sparrow
#

what are the requirements for the bond dialogue w/ thanatos?

#

i've had one with orpheus, nyx, meg, dusa, and skelly iirc

drifting citrus
#

keep talking to him and win against him a bunch of times

#

otherwise it’s just rng

vague sparrow
#

i think i've done it at least 50 times now lol

ocean drum
#

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

ornate siren
#

😦

ocean drum
#

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:

vague sparrow
#

i noticed that too

#

it may have been background noise, but it sounds like she's saying something unintelligible

#

without a dialogue prompt

ocean drum
#

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?

exotic mist
#

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

atomic forge
#

Middle Management?

exotic mist
#

yep. that one

ocean drum
#

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

exotic mist
#

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

ocean drum
#

ya... im not sure D:

exotic mist
#

sgg is teasing us 😔

mint kestrel
#

Wait a minute

#

Defeating hades is not the end?

exotic mist
#

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

mint kestrel
#

Btw i noticed that sometimes gods get mad. Why?

exotic mist
#

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

mint kestrel
#

Oh.

#

That’s petty. Like, really petty.

ornate siren
#

they're greek gods

#

petty is their whole thng

mint kestrel
#

and horny

ocean drum
#

petty and horny are the main two character traits of all the greek gods

atomic forge
#

Every so often I see someone summarize the entirety of a monstrously large work in less than 15 seconds.

#

Well done, Felby. Well done.

mint kestrel
#

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."

haughty carbon
#

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.

crimson haven
#

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

ocean drum
#

achilles and patroclus were super gay for eachother

haughty carbon
#

I think most of them are doing this all to get benefits from zagreus/annoy hades/or just for fun.

ocean drum
#

Dio is for all three

flat shell
#

Patroclus and Achilies had their ashes mixed together when both died, so I mean, it's pretty blatant

crimson haven
#

aww thats so sweet

haughty carbon
#

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

atomic forge
#

Yet.

haughty carbon
#

one day, can we have two gay dad warriors unite once again.

atomic forge
#

Current patch spoilers so I'm being extra cautious: ||We can reunite Orpheus and Eurydice, I believe we'll be able to reunite Patrochilles.||

slate zenith
#

You will eventually

ocean drum
#

i actually just started working further on that one Schpoon 😄 im so excited lol

crimson haven
#

god i want my two dads to be happy

slate zenith
#

There's a text dialog where one of them says ||"Don't try it yet. Fates can twist words."||

haughty carbon
#

And another spoiler for the patch: ||And same can be done for Nyx and Chaos, I think.||

tall ingot
#

and final final final ||reunite hades and persephone||

slate zenith
#

Wok, yeah. I just finished that one. It's sweet.

ocean drum
#

OwO Wok

atomic forge
#

Bruh.

#

I'm almost there.

slate zenith
#

I will say there's a *@!#(& tiny rat now.

ocean drum
#

I HATE THE TINY VERMIN

slate zenith
#

And if you see the tiny rat. May gods have mercy on you

#

Yes, tiny Vermin. That lil bastard.

haughty carbon
#

I really have to catch up tbh

slate zenith
#

Angry Dad has nothing on FURY VERMIN

haughty carbon
#

still haven't reunited any of them, but I am there.

ocean drum
#

you'll get it eventually! 😄 just takes time and giving everyone nectars and eventually ambrosias

atomic forge
#

I kinda wish the Tiny Vermin has his own boss theme, but I'm okay with The Bloodless right now.

crimson haven
#

why was he so stronk?

slate zenith
#

I hope there's a few more bonus bosses like him. He was a nice surprise.

ocean drum
#

same

crimson haven
#

i really wanted Zagreus to say "why is there boss music playing?"

slate zenith
#

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.

haughty carbon
#

as long as we don't get gorgan and stonehead 2.0 I am all for new bosses

atomic forge
#

MM Dire Skullcrusher stomps three times in a row. ron

haughty carbon
#

dusa teleports and throws a ton of rocks

ocean drum
#

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

haughty carbon
#

Zeus is the most fun to screw over but least fun gameplay wise. I fear his bolts of thunder

ocean drum
#

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

haughty carbon
#

Demeter is worse definitely

mint kestrel
#

Wait

#

That purple lady is Nyx?

ocean drum
#

the one right next to your room? ya

mint kestrel
#

I mean the one who comes out in the update

ocean drum
#

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

kind zealot
#

is there a specific requirement for arthur to pop up besides having all the other blade aspects and having guan yu?

open berry
#

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

ocean drum
#

these are some big spoilers i think: ||THANATOS JUST SHOWED UP IN MY ROOM AAAAA||

kind zealot
#

from who's dialogue do i get arthur from? im assuming nyx, but she hasnt popped up in the house for a while now

ocean drum
#

ya it's Nyx

open berry
#

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

kind zealot
#

hmm, ok

#

ill give it a few more runs then

open berry
#

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

kind zealot
#

yeah was kinda confused so thought i was missing a requirement

open berry
#

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

crimson haven
#

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?

primal cipher
#

Do you have Guan Yu yet?

crimson haven
#

yep

primal cipher
#

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

crimson haven
#

i thought that was what the locked heart was for

primal cipher
#

No that's for mending the Chaos gate

dawn crater
#

I'm told you need to put 5 titan blood into the sword

lunar ibex
#

The method of unlocking arthur is also pinned for those still wondering

dawn crater
#

Then talk to Nyx like it's your last breathing moment

crimson haven
#

ah, ok then

#

i need to invest in blade aspects

#

ty

lunar ibex
#

Are you not allowed to reroll hammers?

atomic forge
#

Nope.

lunar ibex
#

boo

dawn crater
#

I don't like this hammer. Sticks a dice in it

#

GIMME NEW STUFF

lunar ibex
#

Guess they need to balance the new reroll some how

dawn crater
#

Of course

ocean drum
#

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

lunar ibex
#

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

lunar kiln
#

Pick me

covert totem
#

I've been complaining like all the time about Athena Legendary not existing, maybe I need to whine more shadeembarassed

#

I do feel like they could axe Athena's death defiance restoration perks tbh

arctic merlin
#

I'm not finding any boons aside from Zeus 💀

frozen jolt
#

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 👁️ 👁️

lunar ibex
#

Just keep that egg with you at all times

frozen jolt
#

I do :(( sometimes I do that and then just don’t see them the entire run

dapper socket
#

Hey guy just a quick question how do you unlock the new stuff?

frozen jolt
#

check out the pins in this channel for the aspect of arthur!

#

you might need to do a run for some stuff to appear?

dapper socket
#

Thanks dude cohhDap

native marlin
#

so I got Orpheus' restraining order from the administrative chamber but it isn't showing up in the House Contractor menu, is that normal?

frozen jolt
#

did you do a run and come back?

#

i think thats what i needed to do with another one

atomic forge
#

What is that new "Huge catch" boon from Poseidon?

frozen jolt
#

it increases the chance for fishing spots in each chamber

kind zealot
#

so does poseidon have 2 legendary boons now?

slim pecan
#

I finally opened the archives

#

What now

terse jasper
#

I would assume unlocking the archives lets you find Orpheus and Achilles' contracts

haughty carbon
#

Nope, Orpheus and Sisyphus

terse jasper
#

oh?

haughty carbon
#

not yet for Achilles

terse jasper
#

ahh

haughty carbon
#

But yeah, Sisyphus got his quest updated. Now you need to get into admin room first.

terse jasper
#

i see

#

so nothing for reuniting Patroclus and Achilles yet?

haughty carbon
#

Not yet.

terse jasper
#

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?

haughty carbon
#

Yes. This is one and only.

terse jasper
#

ahh

random shoal
#

lul the statue you get after an +8 run

terse jasper
#

statue?

slim pecan
#

Had nothing meaningful there to interact with

haughty carbon
#

There are more of these! Do 16 and 32 heat run to see them.

random shoal
#

yeah this huge ass figure in the training room @terse jasper

spring scaffold
#

Just wait until you see the other two statues.

terse jasper
#

mmm

random shoal
#

will they get even better?

haughty carbon
#

Yep!

terse jasper
#

idk anything about statues right now, at the moment im trying to seduce Death

#

ah, sorry

slim pecan
#

Lol

#

Sway

random shoal
#

tbh the filter is kinda stupid

terse jasper
#

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

haughty carbon
#

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.

slim pecan
#

Artemis close second

terse jasper
#

oh?

#

did they really?

slim pecan
#

Rip zagXartemis then

haughty carbon
#

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.

terse jasper
#

i didn't mean that it was like part of the game itself

#

but like

#

it is true

haughty carbon
#

It is, yeah

#

But not the focus of the game.

terse jasper
#

of course

#

imagine a game where the focus was incest

#

it'd be weird

haughty carbon
#

Yeah it would.

terse jasper
#

interesting, sure

frozen jolt
#

please dont try to bypass the swear filter.

terse jasper
#

but damn that'd be weird

#

ah sorry

frozen jolt
#

also, this isnt this sort of game, so let not discuss that here.

#

you can take it to dms if you really want to.

terse jasper
#

got it, sorry

#

i'll refrain from such topics

haughty carbon
#

Yeah, sorry, should have stopped at the start.

slim pecan
#

Hey Alma, we didn't try but the bot doesn't like the word seduc

terse jasper
#

no it wasn't seduce, it was a swear
