aw
I'm still getting new one liners from hypno
hello, my name is ZeppMan217, I have 199 hours in Hades. I play on Hell and all of my weapons are at 22 heat or higher.
Is this HA?
I have not managed to complete Hypnos' quest because I don't wanna purposefully make my way all the way to Elysium and die
well good on you, keep trying harder heat levels
I am, thank you. It just goes to show how unintuitive the questline is
theres no reward for it, and you wouldnt even know it existed if you didn't spoil it
oh, but there is a reward
greater than the gems, or darkness, or bounties
greater than even the adoration of the crowd
my dude i can tell you are frustrated but hypnos literally has very little to say to you unless you die to something. going by that alone someone should eventually make the connection, hey if this guy has no dialogue for me unless i die, continuing this dialogue chain probably involves more death
also since you are increasing heat then you'll see it eventually!
i saw it early since i suck but you're clearly better than me
anyway you're going to keep disagreeing so i'm out of this convo.
has nothing to do with sucking and everything with the end goal
i think it's cool that that far in you'd be getting unique dialogue
I saw it early too before I had any concept of the mechanics, before I looked at the wiki, before I found this discord
Im 450+ hours in and I find new dialogue options still
you're also supposed to die for a lot of the dialogue
It's not forcing you to die is the point
It's that at some point, you will die to everything
it just doesnt make any sense for hypnos to even know you encountered asterius unless he killed you
the only way he knows is its on his list
missing out on throwaway one liners and the occasional pep talk doesn't bother me, those exist to keep you interested in playing despite landing face first
but a multi stage quest with a hilarious reward? That's a real bummer, dude
its just something you have a chance to encounter under certain circumstances to make the world feel more alive
so let people experience it both ways, whether you die or perceiver
it would cheapen it
besides hypnos has other dialogue for any other scenario
this would just mean you'd have to die to a certain other enemy enough to exhaust that dialogue
and keep dying to that same enemy
or else whatever other enemy you die to he'll say that enemy's line
I just said that those throwaway lines don't matter
you can exhaust them, yes
did you not see the part where I said that missing out on one liners is not the same as missing out on an entire quest, with a conclusion and reward?
The content is added for the same reason
They added it so that after a while you'd stumble upon it and it would keep the game fresh
Not so you'd look up the content you were missing and then get mad that you hadn't found it yet
and you don't have to die for it
you do an entire run, win, and you see that new content
or you can die and see it anyway
see? It's a win-win regardless
except in Hypnos' case
Then it's too formulaic
too expected
I think the issue is that we both just like different things from our games
pretty sure seeing Hypnos ready to chat each time you die to something early on in the game conditions you to expect something out of him each time you die just as well
this is a bruh moment
and yes, I do wanna experience the full game without having to twist my thumbs, I've had enough of that garbage over decades of adventures
bruh
Then look up how to do everything and nail it out
Before the internet, there was plenty of content in games that went unseen. The problem is where I find it fun to find new content despite having done nearly everything there is to do, I think you want all of the content to be laid out and easily accessed
It's just a matter of preference and that's fine
you know where I saw the quest being mentioned? Here, in this very channel
I forgot about its existence entirely until I saw someone mention it, and that they needed to die repeatedly to Asterius in order to progress it
I dunno how many times I died to him but, evidently, it wasn't enough
Some people prefer having things hidden from them until they stumble upon them on their own, others like being able to experience everything the game has to offer without figuring out some sort of secret puzzle
I honestly don't remember how the quest came about because it happened several hundred hours ago. It's not much more satisfying than hypnos one liners
the conclusion, from what I read, definitely seemed far more impactful than any of his death advices
it also paints the bull and king in a different, more whimsical light
wait so the new sword aspect is the excalibur? thats dope, but how do i get it? is it the same way as the spear? (im not nessesarily asking the exact method this time)
About the same, yeah. There's a pinned message in this channel if you wanted to know exactly, but it is event unlocked.
So I need to upgrade the eldest sigil for nyx
Where does one find that
Because I've been to the administrative chamber and theres nothing new I can interact with
Finally! Tried to complete this from January. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1017191482989331204/2D71D4EB179230255FD85D4117F6191BD2AD32A8/
Good work!
Nice!
Thank you! Is it possible to beat 32th skull with any melee weapon?
Yeah! it just takes practise with it and some luck on your build.
anyway i need to grind from 1 to 20 on some weapon to get titanblood
have you completed the one prophecy for the pact?
and the one for the mirror
those get you some titan blood fast
Check the pinned messages if you want to know how to unlock that.
You have to wait for Nyx to say something
It’s a fun aspect imo
it does SO much damage, but it's slow and plays a little differently than the other swords.
build with posi is decent enough too
Whether you like it or not is personal preference but there's no harm in trying it out. It's really solid.
Well I just had a build that could backstab crit for 3156 damage with the 4th aspect
It's clunky but it slaps
its less clunky than bow tbh
at least bow is ranged
bow isn't clunky Imo
constant desire for blood is turning me into a bloodborne character
Ah, Good Hunter.
wait really? I didnt notice it ._"
just a small random bonus
is it the only thing he does though?
moral support!
you belive in boldy and boldy belives in you
Bouldy is the only one who never judges you
did anyone unlocked the last zues heart?
ive been using his boons often and yet its locked
Don't you have to give him Ambrosia?
you just have to keep talking to them
it...takes a while but i had it happen recently with artemis
can you give ambrosia to BIuldy?
nope
you can give him nectar just fine tho
Does anyone know what the “ambiguity bonus” actually does?
not hing
an oglaf reference in one of my favourite video games? yes please
Do I have to complete the "Kill Skelly" prophecy before I can get the companion from him?
yes you have to
Thanks. Wasn't sure if those two were connected or not.
They're few and far between, but they're there.
LOL that is indeed the mood, they're a rarity
hey so like what is going on with that broken 40 heat run horheristo uploaded like ten days ago
infinite dash, infinite cast, im???? i see.
Sounds like he was abusing glitches that I think have been patched out.
i dont think it was deliberate abuse so much as it was 'theres a lot of stuff thats been overlooked'
it did get fixed btw but it was just so wild
I've never encountered either infinite dash or cast on accident.
No, my play time doesn't account for all of the human Hades experience, but from what I've heard there are a couple of specific steps that must be done in sequence to get those infinites.
he used the healing bug for his 40 something GY run, it's all deliberate
thats not how i meant deliberate but im not in the mood for a discussion on symantics. he listed the steps involved, and while its not something the average player would uncover, im frankly not surprised people like him would poke and prod at the game enough to uncover the weirdest bugs ¯_(ツ)_/¯
for every update people are going to keep pushing the game to expose more stuff like that. for someone that doesnt dabble in coding or anything its just amazing how such a sequence of actions results in what happened
Ok i just tossed Bouldy on Theseus and he let out this amazing “Buwaah?”
I’m just laughing my butt off over here, Bouldy is such a good companion because everyone’s just like “what the hell was that?”, including Hades
The solution to all of life's problems? Drop a rock on it.
Hypnos not waking up to do Shadeventory? Boulder.
Alecto sending you a Valentine's Day card? Boulder.
Hydra gets its heads tangled again? Boulder.
Also I dropped Bouldy on Hades and he was like “is this your doing Poseidon?”
What’s up w that
I love all the character’s reactions to all the companion summons
I can’t believe how much dialogue this game has, fully voice acted
Poseidon is the one responsible for the earthquakes.. guess Hades thought it's a part of some kind of cliff above or something
Or maybe Poseidon may've been plotting a terrible joke
with rocks
also, Tisiphone dressed as the Wicked Witch of the West. Boulder.
Zag would be Dorothy. Skelly would be Scarecrow. Than would be the Tin Man. Meg would be the Good Witch. And Cerb would be the Lion.
Alecto can be the flying monkeys.
Also I dropped Bouldy on Hades and he was like “is this your doing Poseidon?”
@dusty elbow i think that might be bc poseidon is also responsible for earthquakes iirc
been out of the game for about a month so maybe i missed something. But is there ever a chance we'll get to see Hercules in some fashion? or possibly just have him mentioned?
i'd kill to see how they make him look in their artstyle.
I believe Hercules gets mentioned!
Zag complains that Hades sent Theseus after him and wants a real hero like Heracles or something
Implies Hades must have been scraping the bottom of the barrel, etc, if I remember right
Herakles is a god though
Yup. And Hades really doesn't like the dude, either, and thinks he should be In Tartarus instead of under Zeus' protection.
he should, at that
Zagreus teaching Chaos what gifts are
they see it as offerings though
Sort of. Zagreus basically says that he just gives because he's appreciative of what Chaos does, and Chaos goes: "Oh so it's basically theft then? You were just giving me things because I was giving something without knowing about it? Okay, good to know we have a fair exchange going"
Chaos is the primidorial troll
||to be fair in the next conversation they apologize for calling it theft||
Can I just mention that I love this game’s depiction of Chaos? Cause usually chaos is depicted as something evil, but this chaos isn’t evil or good. They just are, and sees things in ways different from us but it doesn’t make them bad.
chaos is just vibing
chaos is just chaos
[chaos voice] have you considered getting good?
Chaos: Zagreus, if you ever need help, my grandson will be more than happy to assist you. He likes boat rides on the Styx and tragic poetry
Then he offers a boon that increases Mort uses
when you free Orpheus, can you give him ambrosia and get another item?
nah, you dont get another item from him. at least not in the current build.
just making sure cause it felt like one of those quest
any tips on unlocking sisphulyus item. ive been trying since before the guan yu update
first, make sure you've unlocked the record room. next, keep running into sisyphus until zag talks about freeing sis from his contract. then talk to nyx until she mentions where in the record room his contract is kept. go into the record room and interact with the little glowy interactable object. after the next run, Sisyphus's contract will be in the Work Orders menu for 10 diamonds. pay up, and then find Sisy again.
its been forever but i think sis and zag talked about it so i guess im just waiting for nyx to tell me where the record is
the reason i think so is cause every visit i have so far with sis he just wants to give me gold darkness or heart
and there havent been any new dialogue since like 20 sis visits ago
yeah, then that's definitely a nyx trigger thing if you have the records room
yeah i got the admin room and she told me how to free orpheous so i got ot hope for that nyx trigger
thats the last item i need to complete teh game so im excited
Sisy is unlocked by talking and gifting sisy and talking with meg and hades whenever you can. Also try and talk to Bouldy every time you get to sisyphus room
wait you can talk to bouldy
yep! once Sisy says something about it to Zag
then you can talk to bouldy
and offer nectar for a minor boost!
No, you can!
oh!
And if you give the actual giant boulder a nectar in Sisyphus' room it gives you a random buff.
😮
very small buff
I got +10% Cast Damage on my recent run, and that was fun.
aand then proceeded to not get. a single cast boon until Elysium, so that was less fun
It can be significant
5% damage reduction, 10% cast like silvaria said, 10% move speed
it can also do nothing at all
the infamous ambiguity bonus
There's also an item you can buy from the contractor that adds something like a drama% bonus
Because of this cinematic?: https://wow.gamepedia.com/Arthas'_Betrayal_(WC3_Human)
That would be an incredibly deep cut
But wc3 is one of the GOAT games so its very possible
Well if we draw parralel lines: A king and a prince (check!), A king dies (somewhat? check!) WC3 resurfaced lately (How it turned out...eh. Check!) Petals! Check!
i saw a wowpedia link and my brain thought i'd somehow clicked on the wow secrets discord which is super close to this one in my server list
Pfff, nice
You very well might be right because these devs do like to subtly reference their faves, but falling petals is a pretty cliche cinematic effect
Should ask next time they do an AMA
oh my god finaly made it to the surfice was kind of supprised that hades was the boss there though
(didnt beat em) had no death difiances left and had a MEH run with the fists
Nice!
Now you're up to the hard part :p
Hades takes a while to learn
I'm having to learn extreme measures furies and also figure out how to safely do Theseus
extreme mesures? ho boii!
also i love demeter she as such an awsum cast change!
go laser squad haha
maybe but im in love with it so imma use it anyway haha together with eagis who can very easely get enemys where you need then to be its quite effective atleast down here on tartarus haha
Just got spoiled on certain events in the game and... Thanks Supergiant Games for LGBTIQ+ representation
Be careful what you watch on YouTube though
Oh yeah, Than kinda blew up here, so no wonder.
I’m like 95% sure that is a WC3 reference if only Cos I have no idea what else it would be referring to/its description is way too specific to be a coincidence
I assumed it was from the first time i saw it anyway
The most annoying thing is extreme measures Hydra with +trap damage
One run, I lost like 3 lives fighting hydra due to lava and the lava spitting heads.
I believed the petals thing was just another 'decoration stuff' that Zag was using to anger Hades (like flowers next to Nyx). This also seems likely
Well all things are made to poke at Hades, because remember... We are pillaging his coffers to buy stuff he doesn't want.
I just got my first companion oh my GOD this is adorable
Re: falling petals that’s what I thought too, the WC3 reference I mean
@unkempt locust but the description from the contractor is something like “falling petals, for 300% more drama when ascending the throne”
it's just fluff, guys, you're reading into it a bit too much
True, that description is undeniably WC3 related
@junior field I’m not reading anything into it other than it being a reference to an event in another game where petals fall dramatically as a character ascends the throne lol
so Hades just asked me why do i bleed like a mortal. Is it explained at a later point in the game or its just something he justs points out?
have you met Demeter yet?
yeah a few runs ago
did she tell you who Persephone's father is?
no
just keep playing then
allright! so many characters to talk to!
Zeus should be Persephone's father right?
In some of the ancient Greek myths, yes. To the best of my knowledge anything and everything related to incest has been removed.
Does that make Zag like the god of..mortal blood?
or blood itself inherently a mortal concept because mortals bleed, suffer, and die a lot
just like Zag
Zag is supposed to be the god of rebirth mythology wise so maybe theyll play around with that?
he is the son of king of the dead and goddes of spring and rebirth, what else can be expected from him
also there is another reason he can't stay.. doing the same thing that his father already does.. there are not so many different gods doing same thing, it always differs a bit
so he is destined to fail at paperwork
What if Zag is some kind of god of rebellion or somethin'
Hence why he fails at paperwork, that's a key point to order (documentation).
achilles makes the theory that zag is ||the god of blood||, i think that he's a big old metaphor for the determination and spirit of mortal life
he represents mortals in the whole god vs mortals theme demeter has set up
as you increase your bond with thanatos achilles points this out in his codex entry as well, about life and death being linked
Why is repairing the Eldest Sigil so expensive -_-
cause trying to connect two beings that havent interacted since the dawn of time takes some work
Finally saved up almost enough darkness to get the final mirror upgrade to change fate itself
And now I need to use them on relationship repair? 😄
if you love her, you will reunite her with the parent she loves
after all, you too are looking for yours
Guilt tripped into repairing the Sigil
Could always be a prank by Chaos
"Oh, I could always repair it with my powers of utter incomprehensibility. I just choose not to, yet. Cause why not?"
"So I did all that work...that you could've done with a snap of your fingers?"
"Yup, was pretty funny."
"I thought after being tested, cursed and inconvenienced by me every single time you come here you'd know how things go around here"
Then Zag could point out that the whole expense was for someone else and NOT him. Kinda like paying someone to stay home and play video games during a quarantine.
Hey gratz on that!
only took me 22 runs haha
22 is pretty fast.
Congrats!
I'm like 100% sure you will see dialogue about things you already done long ago.
"pretend for now lord ades absolutely clobberd him"
nice
@restive elk oh yes thats been happening for a while haha
Back in december it took 22 runs to beat meg, but those were really rough times.
oef
And I mean december 2018
Honestly I don’t mind getting sent back to start after a successful run because the ways in which Zag dies are plentiful and sometimes hilarious
slipped on a banana
Fatal rake handle to the forhead
Ran into a wall painted to look like an exit
although I did encounter one where the method of death was simply waiting for him to die of old age
I need to find the screenshot but I’m comfy in bed
also geras, old age is the son of nyx, so does nyx make zag die?
@ me in the morning and I’ll find the screenshot I took of that death message
Point is, most of them are hilarious and not out of place in a Looney Tunes skit
Imagine, you just beat the lord of the dead and you end up dying via rake to the face
My favourites are "He can't keep killing me, he'll run out of Ideas!" and "Yeah, sure, I'll dive in that blood pool"
who is the greek god of rakes?
i also like how your hud goes away if you dicide to stand and liston to euridecy
eurydice
Sometimes Hud goes away even if you charge the bullrush in the corner and watch how enemies try to get through the Shield.
that is best strat for the timed rooms
I've yet to beat the game without God Mode because I forgot to turn it off
Time to do an honorable run without it
Though the reduction is like 25% or sth
You guys keep getting funny end messages? Ive only gotten a generic one and the clobber one so far but then again ive only beaten the game 4 times
there are a lot of them, but eventually they recycle
Problem is they dont exactly play in order.
I got the blood pool, the precipice and uhhh
The one where it says father probably ran out of ways to kill me
just got the dream one
What does it say
basically that it was just a dream and nothing happened
Has someone told Zag what's the definition of insanity yet?
wonder who can it be
Than probably has
or, yknow, instead of bein a sign of insanity doing the same thing repeatedly is the definition of Training and Also Learning New Skills and Sometimes Just Having A Good Time
afaik zag is not masochistic
I've gotten end cards of zag dying to like. mushrooms and beetles
or the one that basically amounts to 'bold of you to assume the narrator has run out of ideas, perish'
@dense sparrow hahahah zag not masochistic? 
Than: Snickers
Meg: Snickers harder
in fairness i think than would think zag is more a fool than straight up a masochist. but meg knows he is
oh no
I've turned Than down, but in Meg's romance scene there is a whoosh sound like Meg is swinging her whip in her fight and then a Zagreus "hurt" grunt. So, uh.
this game is rated A now
“I can take it” when he goes in the chaos portals
Doesn’t just sound like he’s being informative
hes enjoying the searing pain
Than's scene is just manly giggling.
manly giggling
its... not wrong....................
sure was just. a lot of giggling between two adequately fit dudes
Just two dudes being guys
Nothing else
but with what are they tickling?
narrator sees it all
Poor narrator
Actually- the narrator does kinda kill us at the end everytime
So that’s the least we can put ‘em through
Zagreus: More pain and suffering, for sure. After all, you taught me to appreciate the finer things.
Alecto: Huh! You really must like pain an awful lot, redblood. Or maybe it's just me. Zagreus: You see, Alecto? Turns out we do have a common interest after all.
rip, didn't get to ask my question about if it would be possible to walk around olympus to talk with the gods when they have an ending
Although they probably wouldn't say much about that anyways
Yeah I doubt they will reveal their plans for the ending
I do really hope so though. I'd like to see models for the olymians
that would be interesting purely to see how they would handle aphrodite, since she's.... nude.
Possibly steam clouds or have her hair cover any private parts
I personally don't care if we ever get to see Olympus, but those character models would be interesting to see
Calling it: the remaining room yet to be explored in the House is Hades' bedroom. With new info on Persephone, maybe.
(just struck me and feels rather right since Zag has a place)
crazy idea: It's the door to another hall just filled with more doors
It has to be the storage room for Hades' capes
You can rummage through it and maybe find some info on Persephone, maybe
It has to be the storage room for Hades' capes
@errant mango Oh YES this one
what if we kissed in hades bedchamber 😳
memes aside I wonder if it will just be pure story stuff or some gameplay elements involved
Hades' bedroom would probably have a gigantic portrait of himself
(with Persephone of course)
and pupper Cerberus
(and pictures of Zeus and Poseidon. That are drawn over with ink.)
and a gigantic book of Zag's baby pictures.
The beard is actually 100% moustache
and just for measure, there is a paper with a written guide how to form his beard, in case it is shaved off or gets untangled.
Because at some point, Hades' must have been "Wait, since I'm having a son, I'm going to do the tried and true father trick. Parental embarassment, MWAHAHAHAHA."
Than's room would just be a chair, a scythe polishing desk with the materials for it, and a bookshelf full of books on Narcolepsy and helping family members cope with it
(as well as a few books on how to curb reckless behavior in children)
@stark tulip reminds me of Endeavor from my hero academia
Hypnos' room would be 5 beds, all with very fluffy mattresses and a ton of pillows.
Since all his “facial hair” is flames generates strictly for the appearance and he looks a lot more like a normal dude without them
Zag with Hades' beard = Hades
He's so hard on Zag because he thought Zag would take after him to run the Underworld
Then Zag made a corny dad joke.
So Hades' wanted to disown him ever since.
Hey I also have a question lol. ||Like the plotline with Eurydice and Orpheus, will there be anything like that for Achilles and Patroclus? I'd love for there to be something like that for them, considering their story is one I enjoy a bunch.||
its hinted
i do fully believe they plan to resolve that by the time the game hits 1.0, or at least address it in some manner
I really hope so
after zag regains access to the admin room, he has dialogue with achilles about it
Ooh ok
Hades couldn't say no to more security
after zag regains access to the admin room, he has dialogue with achilles about it
@open berry Yup, and Achilles says something like "not yet" I think
But it'll definitely happen 🥰
||ACHILLES: I know you mean well, lad. And, from the bottom of my heart, where it once was, I thank you truly for the thought. However... don't exert your influence on this. Not now, at least. The Fates can twist intentions. I don't want to take the risk.
ZAGREUS: You're sure...? Well then... I'll wait. But I am going to ask you again. We have to find a way to fix this. Patroclus is waiting.||
The ||Patroclus is waiting|| kills me every time
Ooooh thanks I didn't take note of this one, although I take note of some beautiful or funny quotes here and there
so, the ||dusa getting fired|| dialogue/event -- what triggers that
@west tundra I think Nyx had a bunch of dialogue added in the recent update so even if you have all the conditions met it’s possible that other dialogue with Nyx is taking priority
i've been assuming that's the case, but i got a dialogue w/ nyx that went something like "i hope you're not fraternizing improperly with the help zagreus" "trust me to choose my friends" "fine, for now" and thought that i might've
skipped over it, somehow? due to, like, getting both their bonds too high
I don't think you can skip anything
I'm pretty sure you can't skip over it. I had both Nyx and Dusa maxed prior to this new event and I think I just triggered it today
Its just RNG
its event stuff thats supposed to happen earlier in the game as you're bonding up dusa but it only recently got added, so people are just now seeing it
@hot bluff i screenshot most dialogue i see so i knew i had it on hand from not too long ago, its just a matter of finding it in my folder lmao
@spiral pond it’s suggested that she’s the daughter of ||demeter and a mortal||
thats why she hates mortals so much?
She’s just mad because her daughter is missing and she blames the mortals for some reason
^
She attributes her daughter's death to being half-mortal.
You know, not considering that she willingly had a baby with a mortal.
Hades isn't really a traditional interpretation though. There are a lot of details that might have gotten changed.
or skipped entirely
I just realized: the new boon giver has to be related to Zagreus so Family Favorite can stand its name. Either that or they will change its name maybe 😋
Maybe it will be Persephone trying to help her son get out to meet her. Or maybe nooot
well, family is not restricted to blood relation..
on the other hand, it's hard to not be blood-related in this family
is the new character going to give boons?
My favorite crack theory is that Persephone opted to become mortal and die, and now she’s the Supportive Shade
theyve said its a new character, not an olympian, right
Imagine once demeter discovered that Zag is Demeter's grandson I would imagine she would be rather happy
i mean, even tho you dont get persephone at least you get her offspring
but again maybe she will be mad since she is pretty icky against motherhood too
this iteration of demeter does not like being a mother
@frozen jolt idk to 1st, yes to the 2nd 
i'm still hoping for Leuce.. mostly for the story
I thought they would add a new boon giver. I must be imagining things haha
They added demeter pretty recently
Maybe you remembered seeing something about that?
i remember them saying "we're gonna add one more god", and it was before Demeter was added
yeah they have said character for this last one, not specifying if its a god or another npc or what. chances are its not a god or they might have said as much
for the freeing sis mission should i just keep killing myself until nyx helps me
cause the trigger for freeing sis hasnt appeared for me for a long while
Have you talked to bouldy?
i believe so, its been over a month since sis has said anything new to me
i got the quest to free sis since the guan yu update
its just the second trigger never appeared
i have everything else unlock im just missing this last item T-T
I'm experiencing the same right now
Waiting for one or two more dialogues and for nyx to finally show up in the chaos realm
So I just got my butt kicked by tiny vermin.
I am ashamed
OH
Like you died???
Go talk to hypnos!!
I want to see if he has dialogue for dying to tiny vermin
Oh wait I have the line
I'm eating din rn but I have it on hand
Hypnos: Whoa, wait wait wait, this just can't be right, it says, it says... hahahahah, you got beaten by a tiny little rodent? Oh, haha, sorry I just, I, you have my sympathies.
(Zag voice over) : No, keep them.
lol! I wonder if it’s different if you are killed by an actual tiny rat
He has a different line for those, yeah
Maybe I’ll try it sometime if I’m having a disaster run and get to Styx
Eww, it says here you got chewed up by an angry swarm of Crawlers somewhere just a stone's throw from the exit to your Dad's domain? Talk about adding insult to injury, huh?
whipping intensifies
“Zag isn’t a masochist” pfft 
Few things have made me laugh harder than Thanatos screaming at Zag "NO YOU DEADBEAT!"
when does he scream that 😮
also something weird just happened
throughout the whole run chaos was talking every once in a while
and not just when i completed a chaos boon and such
were you using shield
recently they added chaos occasionally speaking through the shield
oh yes
I was using the chaos shield
does it make any actual story progression or is it just cute?
Yeah, now the chaos speaks to you through their shield
just there for flavor I guess
Is Alecta and the other one (the other fury sisters0 considered spoilers?
I finally got past Teri...whatever her name is. the one that only says Murderer
for the first time
mrrrr
yeah that one
Alecto and Tisiphone.
yes thank you.
Tisiphone. i beat her for the first time
but is knowledge about Alecto and Tisiphone considered a spoiler? i ask here to ensure o dont upset anyone
Probably not.
I've brought you frankensince. And I've brought you myrrrh. Thank yo- myyrhhh DEEEEEEEEEER
JURDAS!!!
Djkfkvkbo
I’m so stoked I finally got the dialogue interaction and now the Lernaean Bone Hydra is ||Lernie The Bone Hydra|| on my save file.
This is ridiculous hahaha

Yes
GAHCJFJ
he also ||shoots a ton of rockets at you||
I cant wait till they add a forth tier thus changing up the pace vs ||Hades himself||
I wonder if the devs will take inspiration from the upgraded ||fury fight|| where ||cerberus can’t be hit but still spits a fireball at you from outside the arena or something since we never see what happens to him after being fed|| in the temple. I mean, using him is the most extreme measure of all right?
||The goodest boi made to do bad things|| by Extreme Measures.
The betrayal would be so dramatic!
zag would truly never forgive his dad for forcing cerb to turn on him
idk why everyone wants cerb to be involved in fights so bad, poor dog is just vibing and waiting for snacks
zag already feels bad enough if he hits cerb with a weapon in styx. not that i even knew that was a thing til i saw his voice overs for it, which one of y'all out there trying to hit the dog
That’s why I said he wouldn’t have a health bar and wouldn’t be dealt damage. Zag wouldn’t do it. But Cerb keeps those in the underworld from escaping, it’s technically his job. Zag already won’t reconcile with his father until maybe long after escaping. The furies didn’t want to work together, but the theming behind Extreme Measures seems to be using resources and tactics that were deemed too reckless or dangerous before to hold Zag back and I can’t think of a better way to do that. It’s just an idea, I don’t have a beef against Cerb lmao.
im not implying you or anyone else has a beef against cerb but cerb is already established as being relatively mellow and laid back overall, the furies are naturally aggressive
even in extreme measures having cerb suddenly be aggressive toward you in any regard wouldnt fit how the game has already characterized him
at most i could only see something in the style of the asterius mini boss that cuts off after a certain amount of dmg dealt, and playing it off as zag and cerb playing with one another, a boy wrestling with his best canine friend and whatnot
either way given that cerb is actually kind of difficult to rig compared to everyone else its unlikely anything will be done with him purely for simplicity's sake
as an aside i did find out about some humerous dialogue that i've not encountered previously because it requires getting to the fury chamber on low health
||MEG: You look like you had trouble getting to me, Zagreus. Did you try asking for directions on the way?
ZAG: You sound like Hypnos. He's getting to you, isn't he. Isn't he!
MEG:You shut your mouth right now, with that. Come die.||
also requires seeing the meg and hypnos dialogue but the low health is mostly why i've never seen it before
Yesss I recently got that dialogue too
I think you have to have lost all your death defiances by the time you reach her
i have no idea, the marker just lists low health
Ahh
Well, it’s a bit embarrassing to admit that happened to me but I was messing with my pact layout and it did not go well lol
i mean i am absolutely starving for some family dynamics between than, nyx and hypnos that isnt everyone blowing off hypnos bc he doesnt meet their expectations, but im hoping once hypnos gets additional content theres stuff with meg too. god if than had heard that exchange between meg and zag... you know how when zag starts getting close with than, meg will comment on it before the fight? tossing shade and saying she thought he was someone with more integrity or whatever, i dont feel like looking for the exact quote lmao. but it would be that except than being exasperated at meg
I think it's mainly Cerb's left head that's that mellow.
His left, our right.
Zag says something like "You're the only one of the heads that lets/likes when I pet you, aren't you, boy?" when petting him sometimes.
cerb's overall demeaner is still more mellow
Hypnos is my fave and I hope for the same thing
it really sucks watching his own family be like, hes not taking this seriously hes not working hard enough. like. hes sleep incarnate. he's responsible for ensuring mortals get the rest they need, and his moods and the way he feels probably affects that, if mortals sleep soundly, have nightmares, cant sleep, ect. to see even his own mom say he basically wont grow into the independence she expects from him until the dawning of the next age kinda hurts
i just want some kind of resolution between their family dynamic that isnt everyone treating him like he cant do anything right
👆
mortals getting poor sleep for extended periods of time would only cause more work for than 😂
i want to hug hypnos
as another aside while i'm thinking about it, that autograph quest that gets brought up frequently, i double checked and it does require seeing all of the times hypnos asks about it, which is like 4 instances. zag wont ask asterius until that requirement is met
whoever came up with the little flowers next to his portait i want to hug
Hug Hypnos and then proceed to sleep for like 200 years
WHERE IS THE DOWNSIDE
honestly ideal
200 years in mortal time is probably the time of an average run Zag takes through Hades
the thought of him ending up in the pool every 40 minutes is funny though
Well they're old af so I assume hundreds of years feels like 40 mins to them.
hAS IT BEEN WINTER OUTSIDE THE ENTIRE TIME
oh I was joking about the 200 years thing xD
Omf I just found the trinkets and Zag saying ||Let me guess... They want me to fight all the way through the Underworld, having used the Pact of Punishment over there to make the going even more treacherous than it already is, and if I succeed, they'll reward me with some sort of useless trinket?|| like THAT made me laugh
All in one UPSET breath
I think I know how to get the last Zeus heart
You need to take the Demeter boon first
Then Zeus one
And he will start talking about her daughter/Zags mom
I managed to get like 3 lines of dialog from him
But last 2 times I got nothing

Master Chaos asked Zagreus if they will never see him ever again after he finds mom. And he did say that he would never return to Underworld if he could.
Zagreus:"I would. Though I would miss you, Most of them I will (from underworld)."
Chaos: "I would miss you too."

is cyclops jerky made by cyclops or made out of cyclops
this is important i need to know this
because wouldn't it be like very weird to eat a cyclops, an intelligent (kinda) sentient being
Asking the real questions

don't even get me started on centaur hearts
Thank God is not the hearts extracted from their hoofs
Their what now
well they're in the underworld so is meat even meat?
Cyclops jerky, not made from actual cyclops
it's like.. chicken noodle soup.. no chicken were harmed
It's just called that for some reason. Nobody knows anymore
to be fair, eating the remains of cyclops that died ages before would still not even hit the top 10 most messed up things in Greek Mythology
So what is it actually? Some mystery underworld meat?
Spoilers for some Theseus secret dialogue:
||Does anyone know if Theseus and Arriadne actually met up? The last line I got from him was that he will consider it, but that's it. I tried having the yarn with me multiple times after that but nothing happens. Is it just a work in progress thing or do I need to do something specific again?||
is this where i can ask how to unlock certain stuffs?
Or in #h1-builds-and-combat .
i feel like ceratin unlocks are too spoilery for gameplay?
Story-based unlocks, sure.
But something like Stygius's and Varatha's final aspects would be kosher there.
Excalibur is in the pin in this channel, lemme look for Guan Yu's pin.
oh i see it for Excal thanks
Hello friends, would someone drop a hint on how to get the ball rolling with reuniting Orpheus and Eurydice?
Make them drunk
@odd pike theseus only has 4 sets of dialogue in reaction to that. if you've seen them all, that's currently all that exists within the game related to it.
@odd pike there's no follow up to it, nor is there any indication that she exists in the game
Are there any rewards to boosting the Elder Sigil?
Outside of the prophecy ambrosia
Are ambrosia and nectar alcoholic or is it just really amazing orange juice
i dont think theres really any specific descriptions about them beyond ambrosia granting immortality and being fragrant 🤔
I think Zag warns Achilles against “drowning his sorrows” when he gives it to him
Or maybe Patroclus
Uhm how do I unlock the lock for zeus and artemis
Keep giving them Nectar whenever you can.
Already full
Keep pushing Adamant Arrowhead and Thunder Signet.
Oh yeah keepsakes okay thanks
honestly i dont think keepsakes are required. the only listed requirements are the previous level affection lines (7 requires 6, 6 requires 5, ect). if keepsakes were a requirement it should be listed
thats prob why greg keeps saying keep talking to them bc that is literally. all you do.
Well, Keepsakes would spawn them more frequently, I probably should have specified.
keepsakes dont spawn gods more frequently. they guarantee the next boon you encounter will be for that god, and boost the chance of getting higher rarity boons
i done all the prophecies except the useless trinked one.. anyone knows how to trigger it?
so then you can meet them both in a run theoretically
Having a god in your kit boosts the chance of them appearing in a run.
Not big, not always guaranteed, but it theoretically boosts frequency.
since there can be, like.. 4 gods in a run of 8? plus Hermes
having more boons of that god does, sure, but thats not an inherent function of the trinkets. ive literally equipped trinkets and only had that god show up once or twice in a run
Pluse Hermes.
I didn't think explaining all the mechanics in their minutia was necessary.
The end result from equipping a trinket is seeing that Olympian more frequently.
Usually.
well, you can talk to the boongiver only once per run
@fair light can we have a definitive answer once and for all whether trinkets boost appearance rates of a god or not please?
except if met in Charon shop, or encountering duo boon
so, trinkets do make sense if you want to, you know, talk
also, Zeus is not the most often encountered god..
for me at least
i'd rather have a solid answer over continuing to speculate so we shall see
@open berry they don't
picking a god boon, however, does increase the likelihood of seeing that god again down the line
that is like exactly what i've already said so i don't know why you're pinging me
but others insist the trinkets do boost appearance rates so i'd rather see if someone on the dev team can confirm or deny it so we know for sure
"they're wrong" from someone not involved in the game is not a definitive answer and is just as much speculation as everything else thats been said
well, if you encounter a god, with or without trinket, the chance of seeing that god again down the line is increased
What happens when you upgrade the elder sigil?
that's a fact, it've been stated in the patch notes
Don't want to do darkness runs. 8888 darkness takes forever 😄
@sterile magnet it allows nyx to visit chaos
So you'll occasionally see her with Chaos like Orpheus with Eurydice?
yeah
:o. neat
but yeah anyway i just want a confirmation on the trinkets. i dont think they inherently boost appearance rate. the trinket already lists that boon rarity is increased, why not mention god appearance rate as well they affected that. if they do, then cool, if they don't, cool. i just want us all to know 100% for sure from an official source
I suppose I could not convince by posting the god trinkets' script logic
i was actually considering looking for that but i couldnt remember where its stored and i already have a headache from squinting at text all day
its why i mentioned unlocking the hearts on god affection doesnt require the trinkets though, or at least im p sure i dont remember those listed
there is no info in the description of the trinkets that they increase appearance rate. so it's safe to assume that they do not.
but
encountering a god does increase that god's appearance chance during the rest of a run
i dont think they increase appearance, but i think once you have a god its likely you would run into them again. which is what happens when the first boon you get is theirs. not always, though, ive had runs where the first boon i got through the keepsake was from a certain god and then i didnt see them again
i think the keepsakes just increase rarity and guarantee the first one.
thats what ive been sayin gaksjhfdkjg
like I said, the others are wrong
i havent thoroughly backread, apologies 🙇 but i agree then
they do what it says on the can
i remember once i wanted zeus because i was trying to finish his prophecy so i was using the trinkets and i found him like. twice. and ended the run with like 11 artemis boons
the others just pick a keepsake and then "oh there are a lot of this god's boons, maybe that's because i've picked his/her trinket" and so the rumor is born
you equipped Zeus' trinket, which forced the game to give you Zeus
and chaos definitely doesnt even guarantee a gate, bc ive had their keepsake equipped without seeing them once 😭
but it's a side effect of keepsake, not intended mechanics
not even a light of ixion in any shop
and that's it, the trinket did its job
well, there's also the increased boon rarity but that's irrelevant to the matter at hand
yes i got my freebie zeus i wanted, i wanted to pick up that boon so i would have a chance of finding more because i needed his tier 3 boon to finish the prophecy
i dont know why you are responding to me like i dont know the effect of the trinkets lmao
well, you were wondering if the trinkets increased the appearance rate of the trinket's god, which they don't, so...
also, does that even matter?
no, RNG will screw you over anyway
like when you pick up 16 boons and get 0 attacks
since.. the discussion began from "what shall be done to pass the lock of Zeus and Artemis"
and the answer was "keep talking"
and you can talk with a god only during 1st boon encounter
@junior field my dude i really do not know how to tell you this but that entire bit of wondering was literally because someone else in this chat was insisting the trinkets boosted appearance rates and i said they do not.
well, you're correct
don't think "In the name of Hades" line can progress the story much
do the new convos have a chance to happen on consescutive runs? i forget. or are they spaced out to force you to keep picking that god to get the dialogue
like ive gotten.. most? of arty's callipso lines but i dont recall if those were consecutive runs or if i had dead space inbetween where it was dialogue i'd seen before
I believe you're guaranteed to hear the new lines, provided you meet the requirements and nothing else overrides em
I've been hearing new lines from both Zeus and Artemis but the heart progress gets impeded by the new weapon specific lines
which do not count towards heart progress
for example, I've been hearing stuff about nymphs and Calisto for a few runs, but then I equipped the bow and got a bow line instead
usually mid-run gods tend to comment on other gods or on how your previous runs went, like artemis commenting about the vermin. i remember when the dionysus prank event was added and i also had to equip his keepsake to trigger those lines, because they usually only played on the very first boon pickup
Yeah, afaik it just runs through the potential new lines you can get per run and if nothing else has changed/no new conditions are met, the next in sequence should happen.
ive seen most of the weapon dialogue already so im hoping those options are exhausted
they added new ones for Zeus and Artemis
i know that
artey's unlock requires her callipso lines, zeus requires some specific convos with demeter to happen first
i might do some artemis keepsake runs and see now
aphrodite got new stuff now too, right?
yeee
hey, it used to be called ambrosia
yeah, but those were old lines
Hermes ones
Aphro's are new, seems strange that they're ambrosia, too
maybe they were made back when nectar was ambrosia..
||looks like aphrodite requires bonding up meg and dusa. or than and dusa? either or||
i mean the heart unlock
well, we will see if i can get it.. ;__;
@frozen jolt also i have a couple typos/errors on hand ive noticed, i would have to. probably start a new file to f10 them if i saw them again since theyre not something i can trigger again on my primary file
:/a
I also saw a new line from Alecto, think it was because of Hard Labor
well actually i might be able to get one quickly on a new file, it just involves finding a skull crusher. its just a matter of. willing myself to do this purely for the sake of dying and checking the error
clipped a short video of Hades listening to shade complaints
Among his many duties, Lord Hades oft takes time to listen to the countless claims of the denizens of the Underworld, approving or denying them as he sees fit.

Anyone know where I can find the Secret Stash things? If I even can?
What do you need to find this secret stash for?
I dunno, it's there and I want to know what it contains 😛
Where did you find this secret stash
it's in the same place as those heirlooms you get from npcs
You mean the large golden locks at the bottom of the keepsakes box?
yeah
They're called companions, you unlock them by getting a good bond with certain characters
ah ok, nice! Thanks 🙂
They're powerful effects you can use up to 5 times in a run
cool. Time to farm for those then
Zag: "more Ambrosia for my fave primordial being"
Chaos: "...still not going to give you new things."
Zag: "it's my token of appreciation and love for you, Master. It's a thing that mortals and some of us immortals do."
Chaos: "well, so instead of theft, we'll consider this a trade: this Ambrosia for you teaching me a new tradition."
Also playing with a controller was interesting
Hi guys. I finished de game only once. I need do that more times to get a companion?
@valid lintel So many times :). İt isn't related to how much u finish the game tho
You need a certain amount of events to happen, gifting certain people. Which all have a chance of happening after a run
Ah I understood now. Thanks
Faced (and died against) Extreme Measures version of the King and the Bull. Ow!
At least I managed to take the bull out before I fell
Any idea on how to enable more conversations with the Olympians? I'm stuck at 5/6 hearts.
Plus, regarding boons, almost all of them have 1 or 2 boons left before I complete their prophecies. (End of the list prophecies). Any idea on how to get them?
And got to say, still liking Hades more than Zag when it comes to their relationship. Could be that some of his warnings, I hear it more from a concerned father perspective while Zag may hear it as a spiteful one's perspective
honestly I love them both
and can kind of see what they're going off and why they don't understand each other and all
but I'm so glad he's not just a villain and genuinely has his nice moments and cares about Zag
@unkempt locust literally continue talking with them. they require certain dialogue chains but other than that theres nothing else to it besides speaking with them
if you're missing tier 3 boons check the wiki on how boon progression works
you'll have to check each individual god for their boon progression charts but they're all linked here https://hades.gamepedia.com/Boons
Thanks @open berry
dusa offered to give me back all the ambrosia I gave her, should I have declined? she required quite a lot so getting 11 back is nice
Has no consequence to accept or decline
Damn Dusa you were supposed to enjoy those :<
Wait.
Can she even drink.
She doesn't have a body.
Does everything she drinks just pull a Davey Jones and spill on the ground
It's a fantasy world, you could ask these types of questions for many things
I don't need sleep I need answers
... Hey at least the ambrosia bottles are aesthetic???
Can use them as a decoration
What room would she decorate?
She could put them on display in the lounge
I think Zag also said smth to the likes of 'you can put it in the stash' but i might be misremembering
You can buy a bottle for the lounge I believe
Dusa's response when asking for them back makes a lot of sense tbh
Nono thats not what i mean he genuinely said that
Although i've never let her keep them
Also i havent gotten that response yet
Havent stuffed her w enough ambrosia
Yeeted some at Meg too
Oh yeah everyone else will keep theirs, but then again you're not throwing 10+ ambrosia at anyone else
Saving some for Than because damn it you hot topic addict let me love you
He actually created hot topic in his later years
[Thanatos voice out of the speakers] Attention customers, the store will be closing in twenty minutes. Anyone in after closing will be hunted for sport.
i saw greg typing im scared
he's watching, waiting.
That did the opposite of calm me down
Is Hades accepting and denying shades access into the underworld? Where do they go if they're denied?
it's more like they're requesting certain things while in the underworld, no matter what they're going somewhere in it
like how achilles ||gave his position in elysium to patroclus||
hades: denied. You are NOT dead, get BACK up there,
Just curious, based on ||Artemis' Duo boon dialog w/ Aphrodite|| and her normal behaviour...is she a ||introvert tsundere||?
no?
artemis is the maiden goddess, shes not into romance or attachments or anything like that, while aprodite is the god of love and is directly involved in the sort of things that makes artemis uncomfortable
Artemis is not attached to anyone? You need to give her a lot more ambrosia then to let her speak about someone.
interesting...cuz her behaviour can be interpreted that way too but the conversation feels towards the other.
I donno, I presume the true ending would dissipate my ideas.
Not shipping here, it's just interesting behaviour.
@tall ingot romantically
aphrodite making coy commentary related to more than platonic relations makes artemis uncomfortable
Hey it just came to me, that the narrator. comes and goes whereever, whenever he wants. AND makes parallel outcomes when we beat the game. Any chance that he's some greater gods? like, chronos?
he's a philosopher, either past, present, or future one
you can find his likeness in the game
The bust's description says he's a poet
Yea philosophers wouldn't spend time on stories about gods
Mostly because they'd get executed if they said anything not matching the general believe about gods
well, poets and writers are literally gods for the characters of their stories
greater than any
Well ancient Greek writing did not feature the writers themselves a lot
Especially in an epos
true
Most they did was some ominous foreshadowing
When the narrator breaks in he uses the common writing technique of switching to third person to add more suspension and tell fragments of the tale faster
You can imagine the story being written from Zagreus' perspective
Has the sixth companion been revealed? Just noticed there are six slots but could only find five companions.
no 6 isn't out yet
So who is the poet?
Orpheus
just saw a brief glimpse into a world where all the storyteller bits are orpheus and ok first of all. wow. second of all, i want to live there
How is a dead lad going to write an epos
besides the game hints that the buste of the old man is the narrator
yeah i know im just saying i like orpheus and itd be really fun if he was always hanging around ghostily on your travels as well
So I just got the event where Nyx ||fires Dusa|| and now she's nowhere to be seen and I'm worried lol. Is she just gone? Don't leave me hanging like this
Got ambiguity bonus from Bouldy. Any idea on what it means? (yes, I realize I'm trying to make ambiguity non-ambiguous.)🤫
It means nothing. It's a joke
Athena's Deathless Stand when using Stubborn Defiance - Yeah, that's useless. Learnt that the hard way
@errant mango ||yea, she's gone for good||
||(for like 2/3 runs) || i hope you can make it for that long
Sjdhhff i just got the NO YOU DEADBEAT thing im laughing
hfhjfhjfhjfhjfj yess
god is that when its like
than: well you dont need me anymore ( 💭 im just here for fun)
zag: ...ok then...bye....
than: what do you MEAN bye
legendary than moments
OH GOOD!!!
And yes LMAO Zag is me not understanding what people are saying to me
than is that post where the guy is trying to say "are you okay" and "im so sorry" at once and accidentally yells ARE YOU SORRY
Well I'm glad to hear ||our little gorgon friend|| isn't gone for good. Would be somewhat upsetting if that was the case lol
Than says something embarrasing and doesn't come out of his room for days
Speaking of ||I loved Than being like OH YOU'RE EMBARRASING ME? THEN I'LL EMBARRAS YOU when giving me Mort||
||pretty sure the last chthonic companion is from cerberus or achilles||
@honest wharf
||What about Hypnos? Or are people just forgetting about him?||
I mean he really be lacking his proper interactions atm tbh
||so no wonder he is forgotten.||
I have a strong feeling that he's going to give the last keepsake. He's going to have more story content later on
he totally will, though honestly for me, it doesn't feel so?
I don't know, he is feeling like the kind of character you hang out and be lazy, with snarky and lovely comments being thrown around a bit to bit.
It's more likely that Nyx would have given him one of those plushies than ||Achilles|| for example. ||And Cerb would have probably chewed through his by now||
Though I love the idea of ||Cerb gifting Zag a half-chewed toy|| lol
NO
"Aw, Cerberus... Thank... You?"
Chthonic companion unlocked! ...at least what's left of it. And it's like slimy and everything oh no
god is that when its like
than: well you dont need me anymore ( 💭 im just here for fun)
zag: ...ok then...bye....
than: what do you MEAN bye
@runic terrace See, if you had just heard this, it would have come across "What do you MEAN bi" like Than's had no idea this entire time.
😂 AND SO THE AWFUL GAME OF TELEPHONE CONTINUES
ive spoilered this link but
its something i saw in a cn video of the last boss
and made me laugh
Engulfing Vortex. 
ive actually never made it to the end with a proper rift build bc every time i want to go for one in a run, i can never find the boons i need so i gave up on it a long while back, so i didnt expect. any of that to happen lmao
bumper cars, except with more death
final boss slowly gliding around on a blade rift like a gigantic dinner plate
Are these all possible ones?
https://imgur.com/a/xRIOMBa
That's it.
that's the power
Nice
Just sort of randomly happened, got Ares, then Athena, then forced Zeus in Asphodel and Aphrodite in Elysium
Alays wanted to try that, and it's super fun. Unfortunately it was a bow run, so the two playstyles kind of clashed
turn their power against them, they said
thats legitimately hilarious, ive never had all of them in a single run but ie ended up with like at least three before
V E N G E A N C E. That's the true Hera build right there
Should've used the Hera bow instead of Chiron then lol
i wonder how quickly zag's respect for zeus would drop into the negatives if he ever found out how hera gets treated
ooofff very quickly
[comical cartoon falling noise.wav]
til that during the ||dusa gets fired|| plot you can't use ||the dusa summon||
i figured there'd be dialogue or something, but no, pressing the button just does jack nothing
||Dusa gets fired?!?!||
What a way to go if Hypnos did give us a present and what it did was make enemies sleep or sluggish for a good while.
Lol why is it that #h1-story-discussion has more people black barring than any other channel
Valid. ||Who knows. I feel like even in here, we respect that even people who WANT spoilers don't want to spoil it for anyone that might accidentally click?|| Idk. We wildin
unrelated, makes me think of SCP documents that always ||redact|| content.
Lol now you're ||just|| redacting content ||willy-nilly||
That is also true.
||This channel might as well just auto black-bar everything said||
Out of thought (not really, I'm listening to it as I say this), has anyone thought about what a Hades mix of In Circles would sound like? o .o
Reading through past comments and seeing what people decided to cover up is pretty hilarious
There are even some comments I read last night that weren't black-barred and then must have been edited today to be covered up
they can't hide all the goody secrets from us!
I shoulda asked them if there were anything small and non-spoily that they could share in relation to story or characterizations.
Zagreus accidentally becomes the new King of the Olympians
Persephone still not found
Are you talking about the Q&A?
yeah. I should asked a question
TH
TBH
I was wondering what happens if you summon meg against meg but thought hey im not dumb enough to try that
well
i accidentally pressed the button
so i can tell you
nothing happens
zag does 👀 you though
"i dont think thats going to work." NEITHER DID I IT WAS AN ACCIDENT-
i did it multiple times and meg scolded me
Am i the only one salty because Zag is so heartfelt and emotional during Dusa romance but with Thanatos he's just... Meh?
It's just a different dynamic. He's not too emotional with Meg either
||I’m gona run into some spoilers, but I hope to get a short something like “yes/no” answer. So I’ve noticed a pattern; gifting enough nectar I can romance Dusa, Meg, and apparently Than. That was a statement. My question is, can I romance Artemis and Aphrodite? I have reached the limit with gifts for Dionysus, he has a heart with watch now, so does Poseidon. But Artemis and Aphrodite both have heart with lock, which means I can go further with gifts, and thus I wonder, can I romance them? (And can I romance more than one character?)|| thanks
Just a wall of black lines, lol
I’m asking that cuz I won’t be able to play for a while, but quite interested to find out the answer
Short answer: No to Artemis and Aphrodite
Apparently you can't romance gods/ or at least people you can't have a conversation with to begin with
But I can keep keep giving them gifts. Already gave them something like 6 nectars, but I can only gift 4 nectars to the god of wine himself? Really? That’s unfair a bit if you ask me
Other gods are still work in progress
They probably added the extra conversation for the most popular gods and goddesses first
Out of all the Olympian gods, you can max your bond with Zeus, Artemis, and Aphrodite so far. The rest will be added later
Is there a place where I can find out what the different perks from benefits package can do?
I did one run with them and now I am missing 3 for the fated prophecies. Was I just unlucky or do I have to increase the benefits package condition?
Can anyone explain why #h1-story-discussion has more people hiding spoilers than any other channel?
cuz people are idiots
Force of habit? No need to be calling people idiots just over some spoiler tags
what do I have to do to bring Orpheus and Eurydice together?
Get them drunk
yikes
@safe vortex Usually most of quests in Hades are solved by talking to every NPC possible may they be in the house or outside, before, during and after each run.
You will see various prompts for dialogues or gift
By reading the book of prophecies, you will know what to do for some other quests related to weapons, boons and companions
Thanks 🙂
@safe vortex I forgot to tell that for some quests, there are somehow a kind of time or numbers of runs to be done before some quests become accessible or offer some prompts. For some quests and events, it is also depending on which gods, boons, NPC, weapons you meet or use during the run
Spoiler tag thing is kinda fun to use.
If Zag decides to become your wingman he gets done in days what you couldn't in centuries
All of the characters in the game are either absolute disasters in terms of dating and dating advice (Dio, Dusa, Artemis, Zeus)
Or are absolute disasters but SOMEHOW GET THINGS DONE and that is Zag
Dr. Zag
Zag as Dr. Phil solving the underworld problems
Yeah, That was my angle xd
A dr. Phil episode but its solving the issues between hades and zag
Who would be dr. Phil then
okay but on dr. Zag. Its the furies in the studio. They all start arguing. He tries to stop them. He yells at them to stop. They go quiet and look at him. All three. Following footage was too graphic to be shown on Hades TV.
God, I can't wait until they finally update Hades to the point where that clocked heart turns into a locked heart. I kinda expect Hades to be the one exception on the gifting process. Like I expect all of his hearts after the first one to be locked and the unlock method is just him telling you to "Be a Prince" and for every time you do a princely duty (that he asks of you), the heart unlocks, gift, repeat.
It'll be tiring, but he becomes audibly "nicer" and maybe reveals more about the Olympians that they aren't telling Zag.
Me at that big door that's definitely either the rest of the house or Hades' bedroom: "let me in. LET ME IIIIIINNNNNNN"
IF THE GAME DOES NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO MEND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ZAG AND PAPA ZAG IM GONNA BE SADS
Unpopular opinion: I hope they don't reconcile, at least not fully.
Tbh, i feel like not fully is a nice middleground
Having them be all ❤️ would be too sunshine and rainbows
oh yeah, I just laugh every time Hades speaks
No constant insults anymore, but Zag won't live at the House and his contact with Hades will be at a minimum.
But it just makes me sad to see that they both aren't like,,,, enemies, they just don't understand each other and have different outlooks and zag reminds hades of past pains n stuff like that
I find the whole ||nobody can leave, do you think i haven't tried?|| thing very interesting, too
Made me like Hades even more
Also yeah he's hilarious. XD
It does make me question how that works, as I'm sure Hades HAS been to the Surface before. At least during his childhood and fighting his parents, the Titans.
He has
But ever since becoming the ruler of the underworld and getting the elder sigil (i assume?) not anymore?
Than also says that ||even though he can go up, he can't stay||
About himself i mean
Sun burn.
||and then proceeds to grumble about the sun being too bright which was honestly adorable. Especially the 'maybe daedalos will make you some sunglasses' part||
Power move, Than gains armor that protects his little Underworld body from Surface Sun (Helios)
I just had the worst image in my head
Actually, the more I think about Than's teleporting, I'm curious if other gods have their own fancy instant teleportations
Thanatos: HEY HELIOS
Helios, looking down: WHAT
Thanatos, on a skateboard, with sunglasses: pulls middle fingers up
Tony Hawks' Thanatos
Thanatos owns the 'I HATE THE MOON' twitter account but its 'I HATE THE SUN'
I can SEE IT
Headcanon that Cthonics don't take sunbathing very well
Zag tries it out turns into a tomato
I'm sure his mortal half will be kinda fine, but yeah, he'd eventually become a tomato
More like
Mortal quarter
One arm is fine and tan the rest is ridiculously sunburnt
Heheh
hc that thanny is blue like hypnos but got tanned to a human skin tone because hes been on the surface
HC that Zagreus could get away with calling Thanatos "Thanny" in private but could absolutely not call Megaera "Meggy" no matter what.
@vagrant nova
"meg" is ALL the nicknaming he'll get
Has anyone figured yet how to unlock Zeus' last heart? It's giving me a headache


id say
