Is there a current place that has known bugs posted? I had to scroll waaaaaay up to notice Greg posting about the bug with Aphrodite.

open berry Apr 16, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

not to my knowledge but its mentioned in steam forum as well

bold niche Apr 16, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

that datamined stuff and the post about the bug gave a little hope.. shame this topic can't be further discussed probably

#

maybe it can be pinned? since people ask about Aphro every day

open berry Apr 16, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

kinda wish we didnt have to wait til june for that to get fixed. as such i've pretty much stopped playing for the time being. general burn out + without doing a bunch of runs and adding to my burn out i cant tell whether i've been affected by the bug or not, so i may as well just not bother til it gets fixed.

hollow mortar Apr 16, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

It has been done yikes

burnt harbor Apr 16, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

It is done

fickle flax Apr 16, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

Hey what is that so i know if dont have it

hollow mortar Apr 16, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

You can check pins by clicking on the "Pinned Messages" at the top. It's the most recent one from Greg

#

"Hey, there is a bug in the live branch preventing some players from unlocking Aphrodite's affinity gauge. It will be fixed in our next update slated for June. We apologize for the inconvenience."

fickle flax Apr 16, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

Yeah but i mean would i know if i can’t unlock it or have i just not progressed far enough?

hollow mortar Apr 16, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Try maxing out her hearts all you can first. If you can't progress any further after following the conditions, it means you are prevented from unlocking the affinity gauge unfortunately

#

Still, it wouldn't hurt to progress all you can until it's fixed unless you want to watch all her interactions progressively

olive sentinel Apr 16, 2020, 7:51 AM

#

Think I finally got the Chaos/Nyx storyline going

#

her not being there like half the time id run through th house slowed it down

earnest phoenix Apr 16, 2020, 9:00 AM

#

Im trying to get orpheus and eurydice's one but currently stuck

#

still no more advancement after 5+ runs

cinder saffron Apr 16, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

Same for me homie

junior field Apr 16, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

you need some lines from Nyx, so it might be stuck in the queue if she still gives you new lines

undone reef Apr 16, 2020, 1:26 PM

#

Anyway, it is not like maxing out interaction gives a new boon, ability or anything

junior field Apr 16, 2020, 1:27 PM

Oh? I assumed it was the broken spear or the acorn?

dusk acorn Apr 16, 2020, 1:30 PM

which like basically everyone uses at the start of a run it seems because more money

eternal breach Apr 16, 2020, 1:30 PM

Everyone: here zag have this useless thing
Hypnos: here have money and buy some clothes that cover both of your nips

dusk acorn Apr 16, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

tbf at the end of the run 90% of the time I use the broken spearpoint :p

eternal breach Apr 16, 2020, 1:33 PM

Im talking useless as in

#

I mean its a broken spearpoint

#

What would you do if you were handed that

#

Like stuff like pendant or bracer you can wear

dusk acorn Apr 16, 2020, 1:33 PM

omg i just thought about zag wearing the black shawl like a mantle and going NYOOOM and pretending to fly like a child

eternal breach Apr 16, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

Zag knows the egg isnt going to hatch. Does that stop him from hugging it to warm it up and speaking to it? Nope

cloud geode Apr 16, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

I hc it's not enormous but like... easter chocolate egg size. Maybe smaller but not normal egg sized

Does zag even have the hole in his ear needed to wear the skull earring

Proper most probable solution: its clip on or he has it in his pocket or sumn

But also
Zag: oh i cant wear this i dont have the-

it does

you start taking damage every second after it runs out

If you beat a boss does it start over

probably bc I got the Epic doom attack boon right off the bat

Hey is it canonical that Zag doesn't know what swimming is and so thats why he can't leave

#

When the full release comes he'll have the bright idea to commision one of those boat things that goes on the blood to maybe float on the water

#

And then he can leave

dusk acorn Apr 16, 2020, 4:10 PM

you have to pay charon to cross the river

undone reef Apr 16, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

I just made that up. In fact, if it were Spring, it does mean Persephone would be out there, maybe she would be waiting for Zagreus right after the final boss

#

If it is Winter, then Persephone is in hiding in the underworld...Maybe she is hidden in one of those locked rooms

@undone reef based on your first full clear conversation....she's not anywhere in the underworld

sour lichen Apr 16, 2020, 10:10 PM

his blood doesn't have golden food dye so his blood isn't normal for a god

I just hope they change Hades' blood color to better reflect that Zag's isn't normal for a greek god

dusk acorn Apr 16, 2020, 10:21 PM

should they change colour of titan blood as well?

fickle flax Apr 16, 2020, 10:26 PM

but for general aethetics red probably works

sour lichen Apr 16, 2020, 10:26 PM

I can only imagine it would be the same color as their children's

tbh, the greek gods are a perfect example of life without death cuz all they do is party and have children in most cases

cloud geode Apr 16, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

In the original mythology his myth symbolizes death and rebirth (notice a pattern with winter and spring, so Persephone), his name means "hunter" and specifically alludes to, and i (badly) quote from (italian) wikipedia: an hunter that doesn't kill his prey but devours them alive during dionysus'cults. Yikes Zag

#

Also he usually has horns which are always cool as hell (HAH, got it?)

open berry Apr 16, 2020, 11:10 PM

dionysus should get his horns back

They could make the Gods (excluding Zag)'s blood a brighter tint or a darker shade.

was actually talking with friend last night about a scenario where zag spars with ares, because honestly i think they would both find the experience exhilarating, but ofc thats divergence, not gameplay

supple dagger Apr 17, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

Ares would be an interesting fight assuming he had access to a whole armory of weapons.

#

excluding a shield obviously. That's Athena's.

sour lichen Apr 17, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

Fights with the other gods could be cool with how they fight, Hades being a mirror to Zag already. Ares could apply doom with a super long delay and massive damage that needs to be dealt with in some way. Unfortunately, I don't see how they could justify fights on unfriendly terms with the Olympians as after dying to them I doubt they would be as inclined to help you escape the underworld again.

I used Zeus’ aspect and he said something along the lines of “ah yes that’s my shield as i used to know it”

Don’t own Poseidon or Demeter’s aspect so i can’t check on the other two

But fiery presence from the mirror

is boosting damage a lot

I haven't tried Artemis on Guan Yu... 🤔

lunar ibex Apr 17, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

and also high confidence

#

ooo boy its very strong

#

sorry not breachng skewer

#

charged skewer

lone hamlet Apr 17, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

I usually go Ares on any new weapon. Probably not the best decision 😂

lunar ibex Apr 17, 2020, 9:08 AM

#

A serious ideal build would be artemis special, aphro attack, charged skewer hammer, and then hope for the heart rend duo boon. Athena dash and then whatever you feel

#

So boiling blood adds a lot of damage to the first attack, and then along with high confidence, I start out with +75% damage if its on undamaged foes, which is what allows for 1k crits. If I had a point in damage control, I could stick a cast in an enemy and get a total of +125% damage on undamaged foes right out the gate

#

Oh, and get the ruthless reflex buff, and you're looking at +175%

lone hamlet Apr 17, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

lord

#

thank you for the advice!

lunar ibex Apr 17, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

It's pretty glass cannon especially because of high confidence, so you could probably do without that one because its only +25% damage, but it is +25% damage to all sources

thorny surge Apr 17, 2020, 10:07 AM

So what do you guys think Zag is a god of? Rebirth?

His regular dash looks a wee bird-like (it looks more like a swallow than anything else, fair), and he’s got a bit of a fiery theme to him too

or a 'godling' as aphrodite puts it, but she doesn't know about him does he

cloud geode Apr 17, 2020, 10:44 AM

The gods think zag is nyx's child

#

And Nyx is more of a primordial deity than a goddess

#

Similarly to how we consider Ouranos and Gaea's children Titans and not Gods: we enter god realm with Zeus and the gang

#

But Ouranos and Gaea are mother and son 👀 She wooed Chaos for that. Wonder how they'll manage that

#

Oh and Chaos is also Gaea's father/mother- Jeez

pallid crag Apr 17, 2020, 10:58 AM

i highly doubt the game will deal with titans at all
they get mentioned because titanomachy was a thing that happened and the infernal arms have history there, but thats it

#

they just arent important to the plot

#

i think Zag is called a godling because he's young and hasnt yet come into his power

thorny surge Apr 17, 2020, 11:10 AM

#

Not sure if you need to be more god than mortal, in greek/roman myths you just needed to be a demigod (or a very remarkable mortal) that got the thumbs up from the gods

#

Then again said thumbs up generally required doing something exceedingly impressive

warm sinew Apr 17, 2020, 11:15 AM

so when you finish with too many casts i believe you get Master Caster title

i think we should get Master Baiter title when we catch a certain amount fish in a run

if there is no title for catching too many fishes

lone hamlet Apr 17, 2020, 11:18 AM

From the wiki: "Dionysus comments that Zagreus is his favorite demigod, while Aphrodite refers to him a godling and Artemis calls him a "half-god", all implying that Zagreus is not seen by the Olympians as a true god, possibly because Nyx is not seen as a true goddess.

also The Olympians believe Nyx is Zagreus' mother.

#

i have fought hades

#

but never defeated

junior field Apr 17, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

got what, the line from Achilles?

fervent depot Apr 17, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

with spear

#

no

#

guan yu

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

have you get all the weapons in order for it to work

#

I think the condition is getting all 6 weapons

fervent depot Apr 17, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

i have all 6 weapons

junior field Apr 17, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

got where? Is it in your spear aspects menu?

fervent depot Apr 17, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

yes

junior field Apr 17, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

you must've missed the line then

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

yep i think this is it

#

full 6 weapons

fervent depot Apr 17, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

so i need to defeat the hades with it to get exca ?

junior field Apr 17, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

Achilles tells you to say the words, then you walk up to the spear and say the phrase, which unlocks Guan Yu

#

yes, and invest 5 blood into any sword aspects

#

wait wait

fervent depot Apr 17, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

is there a way to get bloods faster ?

junior field Apr 17, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

you don't need to beat Hades with it, just have GY unlocked

#

no, unfortunately

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

just heat grinding

junior field Apr 17, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

check your Minor Prophecies and broker

fervent depot Apr 17, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

i dont have heat :/

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

if you want easy way out, try to earn a lot of obol

#

then buy the blood or diamond at styx market

lone hamlet Apr 17, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

you have to beat hades first to get heat

fervent depot Apr 17, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

ye ill do that

junior field Apr 17, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

just increase the heat in your list, the one you start the run from

lone hamlet Apr 17, 2020, 2:27 PM

keep trying!

junior field Apr 17, 2020, 2:27 PM

oh

fervent depot Apr 17, 2020, 2:27 PM

ty guys u helped so much

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 2:27 PM

blood costs 1500

#

so include a cthonic purse into your run in order to exploit that

you know what can there be in the game
after beating dad stand on his spot and look upon the surface

#

they add this in Asphodel lately

dense sparrow Apr 17, 2020, 3:07 PM

they also have it in elysium

lone hamlet Apr 17, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

yea! and we can get some Zag quotes with it

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

"dorime" - Zag 2020

dusk acorn Apr 17, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

"In another version, Dionysus was originally the son of Zeus by either Demeter or Persephone. Hera sent her Titans to rip the baby apart, from which he was called Zagreus ("Torn in Pieces"). Zeus rescued the heart; or, the heart was saved, variously, by Athena, Rhea, or Demeter.[84] Zeus used the heart to recreate Dionysus and implant him in the womb of Semele—hence Dionysus became known as "the twice-born"." wait i didn't realize that zag's 'joke' was actually a thing

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

thought rhea died

#

like being imprisoned under the tartarus

dusk acorn Apr 17, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

"Dionysus later managed to rescue his mother from the underworld and have her live on Mount Olympus. " thonk

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

with her fellow titans

dense sparrow Apr 17, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

thou art a fool

#

titanides were not imprisoned, nor was oceanus, and prometheus (in some versions)

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

prometheus is a titan

dense sparrow Apr 17, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

yes

#

wait, this is really confusing

dusk acorn Apr 17, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

i do wonder if hera was a god what boons would she give

#

er

#

if hera was a god in the game

#

that could give boons

dense sparrow Apr 17, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

marriage boons

#

that makes you married to a person

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

I have an idea but it sounds too niche to work with

#

her boons changes fate

#

basically gives you D20s

dusk acorn Apr 17, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

i mean

dense sparrow Apr 17, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

her boons turns you into a cow

dusk acorn Apr 17, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

one of my suggestions was a way to choose what gods are favored to give you boons on a run

#

since there seems to be a pool of like 3 gods you're 'fated' to find at the start of a run

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

4

#

technically

dusk acorn Apr 17, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

i don't count hermes and chaos because those are omnipresnet

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

4 gods + 1 Hermes, and 1 Chaos

dense sparrow Apr 17, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

hera, is a goddess of marriage, birth, family and women.

dusk acorn Apr 17, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

like my idea was just "what if you could select two of those gods with a meta thing"

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

Her as a god of intervention

#

lol

hollow mortar Apr 17, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

You kinda can with their keepsakes

dusk acorn Apr 17, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

another idea I had was having 'replacement gods'. for example, Hestia replacing Zeus during a run with cannon fire and ricocheting attacks.

#

the boons would be similar in role, but different animations and subtly different in certain ways

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

but every gods must come with one interesting aspect which either is a status effect or damage ways

#

I really dont know how Hera can be different while in role with especially her effects

#

most of the basic video game powerup are already included in the existing pantheon

dusk acorn Apr 17, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

replacement gods would kind of help with that in that aspects could be shared :p

#

i was thinking of hera replacing zeus but I honestly don't know how to swing that while remaining similar

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

tbh i would love revenge damage became a thing

hollow mortar Apr 17, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

I don’t think that can be done considering the developers pathway and patchnotes

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

then it could be like hera's boon

#

since revenge boons are kinda lackluster on its own

#

yeah we know we just kinda put in developer's shoes on how to tackle it lol

#

brainstorm is fun

hollow mortar Apr 17, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

It’s already themed with Zeus + Ares so could be added to one of them ⚡️🗡 (but I don’t see many people picking an increase in revenge damage lol)

dusk acorn Apr 17, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

tbh this would probably be a post 1.0 thing, it was mostly an idea of how you could keep the same number of gods yet still introduce more

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

what if its Ares + Hera

lunar kiln Apr 17, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

Zeus + Ares duo can see a new one I would imagine

#

say, Chain Doom

#

in itself is stackable

#

and imma be real doom stacking is really niche and situational and is long run not a good buff overall

thorny surge Apr 17, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

i mean it's great vs bosses

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

kinda wish it buffs based on percentage rather than fixed value

thorny surge Apr 17, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

and getting rid of armors

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

i mean sure you have doom rail

#

but with any other weapon you cant stack as much

#

at best you get like +30 damage on average for getting 3 more hits which is puny even against furies already lol

burnt harbor Apr 17, 2020, 3:34 PM

Well, last run of Hades until june

#

Time to be patient

dense sparrow Apr 17, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

WAIT

#

THE MONTH JUNE IS NAMED AFTER THE GODDESS JUNO, HERA IN ROMAN MYTHOLOGY, SO THE RELEASE MONTH MAY BE A REFERENCE TO THE NEW GOD THEY ARE GONNA ADD

SO THE NEW GOD THEY ARE GONNA ADD IS HERA

doesnt necessary mean its olympian

heck, persephone might just be the last character

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:46 PM

yeah right?

#

if only sgg is a bigger team 😔

#

we can have all the characters we want

but there is a limited resource here

you dont want to end up like a certain game that was in alpha test for 6 years

#

and still is on alpha for god sake

there are only 2 hopes.. post-release content and mods

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:48 PM

modding is heccin hard in sgg games

#

so far ive not seen a whole DLC like mods lol

#

that wouldnt be called mod at that rate

dense sparrow Apr 17, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

post release content will exist?

bold niche Apr 17, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

afaik there are only parameter tweaks and graphics changes

#

nobody knows

#

also.. even modded characters are not the same without sgg voice acting

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

yep

#

simply put, even available

#

i doubt people can put much effort into making a modded character in Hades

#

consider mods are usually developed by one person or 2

bold niche Apr 17, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

also, visual art style is something people can mimic, but not always get right

spiral pond Apr 17, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

^

#

its very complex considered its so stlylized

#

take other games, dst has easy artstyle to follow but you still kinda dont get the same effect

bold niche Apr 17, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

or darkest dungeon

#

also, a modder is not always a good artist

#

my friend came up with a good story for her character, but she is not a coder..

#

i kinda can code, but terrible at anything else

#

she can draw, but it's hard for her, due to lack of self-confidence

#

i mean

#

there are people that can make a full game solo

#

and even make it popular for whatever reason

#

art, story, music, code

#

but they can be count by fingers on one hand

grave sigil Apr 17, 2020, 4:08 PM

man i was so proud when i beat hades for the first time like a couple of hours ago, and i was left with 5 hp
then the second phase started failbag

dense sparrow Apr 17, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

sec phase is easier than 1st one

#

so, there is still a chance that you win

grave sigil Apr 17, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

there wasn't failbag

lost estuary Apr 17, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

Hades kinda depends..

#

sometimes I can't wait until second phase starts, other times I wish the first phase was the whole fight

#

When you lack the ability to deal with burning blood because of other pressures during the run, the second phase is a lot harder than the first

thorny surge Apr 17, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

Yeah, i got my [REDACTED] pushed in by the second phase despite almost breezing through the first one
The hypnos quote if you get killed by Hades is great though

lost estuary Apr 17, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

because burning blood synergizes with the grabby urns

#

on top of Hades' faster and more damaging moveset

supple dagger Apr 17, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

"woah, you got killed by something redacted"

lost estuary Apr 17, 2020, 4:23 PM

You haven't seen hell until you're walking into a field of urns popped from the waves of three seperate burning blood projectiles and having Hades charge at you with Gigaros..

For me its way easier to actually dodge his attacks in the second phase

#

Something about his spins is different

dusk acorn Apr 17, 2020, 8:11 PM

he does two small spins before his big spin

before it's just sudden

he doesn't turn invisible and erase debuffs either

thorny surge Apr 17, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

Yeah
Once you speak wirh Achiles about it you’ll see why

#

It’s not a big lore reveal or anything it’s just a bit of ambrosia fluff

#

The reason is that Ambrosia can only be opened when you’re going to enjoy it with someone you have a bond with or something like that

#

It’s basically just fluff for Ambrosia replacing Nectar as a gift the for someone you have high affection with

thanatos appearing just depends on how many runs you've done

thorny surge Apr 18, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

nah, demeter appears once you've reached the surface

#

regardless of whether you're able to complete the entire run or not

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 3:55 AM

#

Thanatos is RNG incarnate

#

romancing him is like being at the mercy of RNG

thorny surge Apr 18, 2020, 3:55 AM

#

lul

#

do you have to find him several times?

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

you have to keep giving him nectar and hoping that RNG lets you unlock his key heart

#

so basically everytime he showed up I'd just. slap a nectar on him

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 5:40 AM

I made the hardest decision of my life

#

I had to friendzone thanatos

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

Why?

dense sparrow Apr 18, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

to convince my friends that i am not gay

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 5:43 AM

That, and to convince myself.

dense sparrow Apr 18, 2020, 5:44 AM

why would you need to do that

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 5:45 AM

#

now that I think about it, yeah.

#

but I sort of want to keep my romance routes low just in case there are future romance-able people that might conflict with what I have.

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

Even if they do add new ones for whatever reason, I don't see why that'd be a conflict?

#

Considering that the current ones are all chill about it, especially.

i think you can romance every route

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 5:46 AM

did y'all get the convo about the different kinds of love?

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 5:52 AM

from who?

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 5:53 AM

#

Dusa gives it, and I think Aphrodite does comment on it, too.

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

speaking of her, how do I deepen my relationship with aphrodite?

dense sparrow Apr 18, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

nectar

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

Do I need to uh... offer it to any other god?

honest shard Apr 18, 2020, 6:07 AM

#

Aphrodite has a bit of a bug associated with her affinity rn so that might be why if you're having issues

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 6:09 AM

#

So when I offer her enough nectar, does it... trigger a special conversation>?

honest shard Apr 18, 2020, 6:10 AM

#

Not atm I believe

vapid parcel Apr 18, 2020, 6:10 AM

#

it can but it may not i think?

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

So how do I get the dialogue from Chaos about Nyx?

#

I've done many runs but he doesn't seem to say anything about it

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

They'll say it eventually, assuming you've given them enough nectar.

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

I gave both nyx and chaos enough nectar

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

There's probably just a huge backlog in their dialogue because it was a recent update. RNG is a pain, but we're all beholden to it.

lunar ibex Apr 18, 2020, 6:29 AM

Even if you think you're a heterosexual, you have to at least give it a try before you'll know for sure

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 6:29 AM

I honestly don't mind romancing than, but I just feel like he would be better as my best friend.

#

As for Meg, I am romancing her, 100%.

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

i ship meg with a better job and happiness, tbh

lunar ibex Apr 18, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

Yeah, I mean, Meg checks all the boxes for me, but I'd probably fall for Than even though I identify as hetero

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

Aphrodite sort of killed my hope of romancing her when she told me she's married Bigfunny

#

Wait a minute.

#

Oh, right. I almost forgot.

open berry Apr 18, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

sgg aphrodite is probably more faithful than myth aphrodite since there's not really any deliberate implications between her and ares but honestly I'd still love to see phobos and deimos in hades art style

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

meanwhile Ares be thirsty for Nyx for some reason 🤡

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

so are a lot of people, apparently, he ain't special

#

(kidding he's actually pretty cool as far as Ares depictions go)

open berry Apr 18, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

maybe it'll feel more natural playing the game from start to finish once all the content is in, but for now it just feels so out of the blue. the only good that came of it to me is that it's canon that ares is more.. sympathetic to the chthonic gods, more open to learning more about them than the other olympians. cause like. ares is a bit of an outcast himself, even with his altered characterization from myth, there's still the implications made in game that the rest of his olympian family regard him less, as in myth, so perhaps he relates

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

although I suppose that depends how you wanna interpret his dialogue about Nyx

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

I mean, he would probably kill people without batting an eye, but I doubt that he is as prejudiced as his relatives.

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

I really like the idea of Ares being close to the chthonic gods, I wil admit, he clearly admires Thanatos and appreciates Zag's abilities

#

well I mean he can't do his job without the Chthonic Gods existing so

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

Yeah, like... no one LIKES war as a concept, true, but all of the other Olympians are really mean to him to the point that Athena even considers it a bad thing that he's helping us.

open berry Apr 18, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

ares: repeatedly asks about than's wellbeing
also ares: abruptly thirsting for nyx because reasons

hm

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

I am so glad that he is not just some power hungry and aggressive guy like in a lot of other interpretations.

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

the fact that Ares calls himself a 'disciple of death' makes me feel like he doesn't have the Olympian bias on the chthonic gods

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

Y'know, I hadn't actually put the "openly cordial and friendly with some Cthonic gods" together with the Nyx thing? Him reaching out to someone of equal power that wouldn't have the Olympian attitude makes a little more sense.

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

who knows, maybe he just wants to meet Nyx because she's Death's mom ¯_(ツ)_/¯

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

also, what is this about his dialogue of nyx?

#

What did he say, again?

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

uh

open berry Apr 18, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

that's true. Like I said, maybe it'll feel more natural in the flow of the narrative when you're not waiting for updates to drop, and play everything as intended lol

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

he basically asks Zagreus if he can arrange a meeting between him and Nyx

haughty carbon Apr 18, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

Ares really be like an odd nice guy to than that is trying to hit on his mom.

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

and he asks Zagreus to let her know of his interest

open berry Apr 18, 2020, 7:00 AM

#

I have the entire dialogue somewhere but I'd have to scroll through twitter dm for it....

#

since my pc is not on so I can't just pull it off my docs

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 7:00 AM

#

Ahh.

#

I am actually a bit uncomfy about the idea of romancing Nyx.

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 7:02 AM

#

well yeah, that's Zag's surrogate mom, it's weird. Ares wouldn't have that hang up.

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

yeah. romancing Nyx would be odd.

#

anyway moving on

#

Zeus also called Nyx "quite a catch" at some point and he also talks to Zag "if only you were my son instead of him (Ares)! Haha just kidding LMAO"

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 7:04 AM

#

thanks zeus. always reliable to make things weird

dio almost always immediately forgets why he was even upset

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 7:14 AM

#

he's a chillax guy, which is why I sort of feel guilty when I spurn him

#

but on the other hand, I would much rather not spurn Zeus...

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

Dio is like "yea we cool bro"

#

meanwhile Ares is like "we're cool because you killed for me and you survived me"

open berry Apr 18, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

I feel more guilty spurning artemis, esp bc she has lines asking if zag thinks she's some kind of push over and I'm just. oof bc if I spurn her it's literally bc whoever she's paired with has her be the quicker clear lmao

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

Artemis is not the nicest person, but I am ngl, she does remind me of a older sister figure.

#

Hermes seems like he respects the Chthonic Gods too, to some degree 🤔

open berry Apr 18, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

spurn her enough times and she starts commenting on how she expected zag's betrayal and woof

#

hermes works alongside them more or less

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

Athena on the other hand is just like "Oh well, we all get a little petty and extract revenge from time to time, so I hope you don't mind."

open berry Apr 18, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

in fact I think than points out hermes in addition to ares as the only other olympian that is cordial with him, I'd have to double check

#

The others have zero reason to involve themselves with the underworld, outside of zag's drama

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

Yeah, and him and Charon have a pretty good working relationship, too, so that's another point for that.

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

So Artemis gets very salty about it after you spurn her enough?

#

Yeah ok, that just gave me another reason not to spurn her, because I really like Artemis.

open berry Apr 18, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

and honestly hermes started off as more of a chthonic deity before myth gradually had him associate primarily with olympians

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

What I wanna know is why Hermes doesn't want anyone to know that he's helping Zag out.

#

Like that'll probably be explored more when Charon gets a new model, but it's been eating at me ever since Charon got furious when Zag pushed the subject.

mint kestrel Apr 18, 2020, 7:23 AM

#

wait, what subject? Hermes not wanting others to know that he's helping Zag?

#

That's... a weird subject to get frustrated over.

lone hamlet Apr 18, 2020, 7:23 AM

#

Charon's mad...?

flat shell Apr 18, 2020, 7:24 AM

#

Yeah, uh... like, after I had both him and Hermes to their current max hearts, Zagreus was going to ask Nyx about why Hermes was being so secretive about helping us, and Charon did the ANGREST "graaah" I've ever heard from him and did the screen shake thing when Zagreus checked with him about it first.

#

It kinda stuck with me because it's one of like, TWO times he's actually responded to our conversation attempts with a firm opinion about anything.

I was doing the underworld family in The Sims 4 (Hades, Persephone, Melinoe, Macaria, Zagreus and Cerberus) and was searching informations on Zagreus and oh wow who's this pretty boy?
