seme hat!

hollow mortar
#

Please, do not spam

vapid parcel
#

okay sorry

eternal breach
#

Alright ^^

fickle flax
#

Hes never dealt with mortals

#

So he might just accidentally melt you a little y'know?

vapid parcel
#

some people are worth melting for

fickle flax
#

Artemis

#

Bit of hypnos

#

if you only get one side melted off you can still have enough brain to appreciate it

fickle barn
#

Random question. Why is Theseus an absolute BASTARD to fight.

junior field
#

because he's invulnerable from the front

vapid parcel
#

because he's a bastard

fickle flax
#

Yes that small metal shield vs my lightining

junior field
#

it's non-conductive

fickle flax
#

But like

#

I dunno it feels a little small

#

It would feel more accurate if he had one of those tower shields

#

But those were roman

junior field
#

his platter's been blessed by the gods

fickle flax
#

Also do you think that like they are chariot nerds like we have car nerds

#

Maybe wheel heads

thorny surge
#

i actually think theseus is the easiest of the two, just dash around him to circumvent the shield and apply DoTs on the smug bastard

#

his blessing AoE are not that hard to dodge either

#

asterius is stupidly tanky though

junior field
#

definitely into horses

#

and Theseus certainly recognizes the value of the Macedonian

thorny surge
#

horses were a big thing in ancient greece and before, especially in poseidon's worship

#

they're one of his two sacred animals, alongside bulls

fickle flax
#

Yeah we never see any dead horse riders

thorny surge
#

yeah

#

what little chariots we see just drive themselves

#

and explode on their own more often than not

fickle flax
#

Just imagine a big chariot with an arrow shade in the back

#

or most historically accurate a spear thrower

#

also its kind of weird how the enemies get smaller the farther you get

#

The big club guys are the largest common enemy

#

and the bomb bois are next

#

but like satyrs are mostly baby

junior field
#

the rats are bigger than bloodless and exalted though

fickle flax
#

wait yeah

#

but big rats arent real

#

So your wrong

vapid parcel
#

you don't think rodents of unusual size exist?

fickle flax
#

ROS

#

Ridiculous

junior field
#

ROUS

fickle barn
#

KILLED CHAD AND THE BEEFY BOY. DON'T LIKE POISON RATS

thorny surge
#

i hate poison rats

#

they're venomous, coarse and get everywhere

fickle flax
#

I hate dad

jagged goblet
#

HAHAH grats ARgent

#

Took me like 10 tries to clear those fools

fickle flax
#

Hes coarse, rude, and gets on the surface

jagged goblet
#

Enjoy your stay at styx ❤️

thorny surge
#

Yeah, i also hate [REDACTED]

#

He kills me every time i try to find me mum

#

But joke’s on him because i’m starting to learn his patterns

jagged goblet
#

reDActeD

#

recte?

#

Hmmm

thorny surge
#

don’t make an immature joke don’t make an immature joke don’t make an immature joke

jagged goblet
#

Maybe it says Redacdad all along and we just misread it?

thorny surge
#

haha rectum

jagged goblet
#

kek

thorny surge
#

hypnos won’t stop falling asleep so i wouldn’t put it past him

jagged goblet
#

get him a bed

thorny surge
#

We took so long to come back he fell asleep and drooled on our bit of his list

jagged goblet
#

i love having him lying down

#

wait, that came out wrong

thorny surge
#

So he’s just trying to play cool

#

I’m sorry to tell you mate but you can’t romance hypnos

fickle flax
#

WHY GODS WHY

#

That is the true tragedy

f

eternal breach
#

I was not ready for Chaos to ||Ask Zag if they're going to stop seeing each other after Zag finds his mom||

vapid parcel
#

chaos is so good????

eternal breach
#

And for them to say ||they'll miss Zag||

#

I have

vapid parcel
#

they adopted zag so quickly??

eternal breach
#

Heart palpitations

vapid parcel
#

fricking valid

eternal breach
#

I can't believe the primordial conciousness adopted Zag

#

It's so cute

vapid parcel
#

zag is so adoptable tho

#

everyone adopted him already it's so good 😭

eternal breach
#

RIGHT LIKE

#

Even DEMETER

fickle flax
#

Everyone either has adopted him or is dating him

vapid parcel
#

pretty much yeah

eternal breach
#

Except Artemis, Artemis and Zag adopted each other

fickle flax
#

They are both the best

eternal breach
#

Chimdren 😔

vapid parcel

fickle flax

No

eternal breach

Let them hang out 😔

vapid parcel

fickle flax

No one is baby

vapid parcel
#

eternal breach
#

But dusa :(

#

Dusa baby

vapid parcel
#

dusa is baby!!!

#

than is babe mostly

#

hypnos is also baby

eternal breach
#

I saw him today be like ||you two need to TALK|| to Hades and I was like

fickle flax
#

Dusa is the worst of them

eternal breach
#

THAN 🥺

vapid parcel
#

than is so good!!!

fickle flax
#

Theyre people

vapid parcel
#

also he wants to help?

fickle flax
#

Or more accurately gods?

#

I eman

eternal breach
#

HE WANTS TO HELP

fickle flax
#

Are there are even child gods?

vapid parcel
#

like he talks to nyx about how he wants to help

#

buddy its an expression

#

of course they're not kids

eternal breach
#

What a good death 😔

vapid parcel
#

i've adopted them so they're baby yk

#

best death

#

10/10 would death again

eternal breach
#

Strong contender for best death along with death from discworld

vapid parcel
#

ohhh you right

#

tho what about the death from good omens?

#

all death good death

#

but than is most bae

eternal breach
#

Than but he speaks LIKE THIS

vapid parcel
#

oh GOD

fickle flax
#

Pathologic 2

#

anwyas

#

What do you mean adopted

#

Also I thought for a second you said a character died and I was like oh gods no

eternal breach
#

Adopted as in ive decided theyre my children now

fickle flax
#

Ok

#

Understandable

eternal breach
#

😔

vapid parcel
#

same

#

they're my kids and hades and i will meet on the battlefield

#

i'm gonna punch him real hard

eternal breach
#

Hit the bag of pitato

fickle flax
#

Aterius is then my child

vapid parcel
#

a good choice!!!

eternal breach
#

God Asterius is great

#

I respect

vapid parcel
#

so good

#

theseus is.. not great

#

but he likes asterius so it's fine

fickle flax
#

Theseus probably got stuff done when he was not a dead

eternal breach
#

Im just. Killed. By the thought of Chaos standing there in their domain, staring out into the endless darkness and wondering what is this unpleasant feeling that makes them not feel good once Zag leaves

fickle flax
#

And considering how much sissy changed apparently since he died

#

Constant praise might have screwed with theseus in elysium

vapid parcel
#

idk about that but it's possible

#

but tbh i'm on board with him being douchey

open berry
#

theseus is all bark and no bite, once you realize that hes more amusing than anything

fickle flax
#

Yeah

#

If anyone is baby

vapid parcel
#

i go to elysium for patroclus and asterius

fickle flax
#

It is theseus

vapid parcel
#

but the bad kind

fickle flax
#

Or hes more child than babey

#

Childy?

open berry
vapid parcel
#

asdfghjkl

#

true

fickle flax
#

Theseus and Asterius do be lookin kinda fine in their armor though

open berry
#

i think more than anything hes mostly blinded by his own ego but not inherently bad. when he offers zag his autograph and zag just turns it down so casually, theseus is genuinely taken aback bc despite his very vocal opinions on zag, he didnt expect it lmao

eternal breach
#

Zagreus' laurel is superior to Theseus'

vapid parcel
#

all is true

#

theseus is very confused

#

i'm not sure he even knows who zag is? i can see hades just telling him to stop him

#

pretty sure he just thinks he's someone from tartarus who keeps escaping

fickle flax
#

He calls him an evil shade kinda like all the time

#

Or demon

eternal breach
#

Hey, a Thought tm: Zag's laurel and feet burn hotter when he's excited

vapid parcel
#

YES

fickle flax
#

Mmmmm yes

eternal breach
#

Excited Zag is also a nyoom

fickle flax
#

More drawing work

vapid parcel
#

please.

#

give us the goods.

eternal breach
#

When Zag is asleep ir very calm they're both red and just warm and gently kindling

fickle flax
#

Yeah what are those laurels made of

#

I wonder what his clothes are general

#

y

vapid parcel
#

maybe pomegranate leaves? and also fire

fickle flax
#

I also what other things grow in the under world

#

Other than the hella on brand pomegranate

thorny surge
#

Red onions

#

And misery

fickle flax
#

Also do they have water?

#

Cus even the water cooler appears to be filled with blood

#

Poseidon at some point has to be like "Zag you see not all liquids are blood"

tiny sequoia
#

"Yeah I know sometimes there's lava"

fickle flax
#

"Theres more... less hot ones"

#

"Oh and wine too."

buoyant frost
#

ambrosia and nectar also

thorny surge
#

Elysium has normal-ish water i think

fickle flax
#

It looks more like clouds

thorny surge
#

Also wouldn’t count ambrosia and nectar since they’re beverages and not natural liquid

buoyant frost
#

water in fountains

fickle flax
#

Yeah what is with those

buoyant frost
#

oh and pools in fountain chamber in tartarus

fickle flax
#

yeah your right

#

sad

vapid parcel
#

and it seems that styx might be water? ||there's some to drink in the archive room||

thorny surge
#

Those are everywhere minus styx
Pretty sad if you ask me

buoyant frost
#

dirty water boo

thorny surge
#

Also the outside of the temple of styx is tecnically outside the underworld so i wouldn’t really count it

buoyant frost
#

it's on the surface not outside no?

thorny surge
#

“Dad before we kill eachother i gotta ask you a question: why is the blood in the outside world translucid?” -Zagreus

buoyant frost
#

or rather next to the surface

thorny surge
#

I think the final arena is on the surface proper

fickle flax
#

catches an alive fish on the surface and screams in confusion

thorny surge
#

Hades even references it in some of the dialogues before you smacc him

buoyant frost
#

everything is blood because zag died too much

#

sad

thorny surge
#

Speaking of which, i what do you guys think the post-Hades map will be? Because the map seems to go past Styx

#

Just some plain snow field?

buoyant frost
#

I just hope these will be a fishing point

#

I dont really know what to expect? Olympus realm?? bc god's sense his presence on the surface

fickle flax
#

Whatever you catch you have to get identified by artemis

#

or I guess I achilles would know what surface fish are

buoyant frost
#

will zag talk in flash with everyone or will he hide? the question of all questions....

thorny surge
#

Zag just wants to see his mum, i don’t think he even has a plan after that

buoyant frost
#

zeus wouldnt ask him tho

#

Helios could just be like hi hello I have the order from the king Zeus to get you to Olympus

thorny surge
#

That’s because Zeus and all the other gods still believe Zagreus is escaping from Hades to join them in Olympus

#

Nah, that’d probably be Hermes

fickle flax
#

I feel like the gods would stop caring after he gets out cus its less dramatic, and thats all they were intrested in

buoyant frost
#

Helios just bc he has a chariot

#

I dunno well Nyx said that Athena would/could understand I we told her the truth

thorny surge
#

They’re gods, they all can probably spirit Zagreus away with their powers

buoyant frost
#

and that's the scary part

#

I would be surprised to have a fight with all of them

thorny surge
#

I was honestly also thinking about that too, i wonder if they’ll get pissy about the whole deceiving thing

buoyant frost
#

and

#

imagine

#

telling demeter

fickle flax
#

yoooooo

buoyant frost
#

that's just the scariest

thorny surge
#

yeah
don’t want ice grandma to punch my face off

buoyant frost
#

good thing her gloves are with us

thorny surge
#

Yes but sadly all gods put their old weapons away willingly and if Hades is anything to go by got a replacement

buoyant frost
#

or maybe she will be up to help just to find her child.

fickle flax
#

Think about hwo many titan weapons are on olympus

#

Hades aint the only one with a collection probably

thorny surge
#

Probably none of em, dialogue seems to imply that Hades kept all infernal arms

buoyant frost
fickle flax
#

huh

#

wild

buoyant frost
#

back to demeter talk, I'm more worried about persephone really

#

hades is genuinely worried about her no?

thorny surge
#

It doesn’t really make sense that we’d have weapons that were the olympians’ like the Shield or Coronacht and Exagryph either if that were the case

fickle flax
#

But teh olympians have their own spear

#

weapons I mean

buoyant frost
#

and he said its for everyone's sake to not search for persephone

fickle flax
#

Posiedon is literally holding his spear

thorny surge
#

Yes, but that one isn’t an Infernal Arm afaik

fickle flax
#

Ok?

keen mason
#

It's his Trident right

thorny surge
#

I already said earlier that they all apparently got replacements

#

Also ye

buoyant frost
keen mason
#

I wonder what Aphrodite's weapon would be

buoyant frost
#

her hair lol

keen mason
#

Zeus has lighting

thorny surge
#

Aphrodite wasn’t a goddess that fought much even in the myths so i don’t think she had any

#

unless you count spartan aphrodite

#

I’d wager that if she fought she’d be a caster sort of enemy

keen mason
#

Ares had all types of weapons

#

Demeter would be a caster for sure as well

thorny surge
#

Ares seems to favor some kukri sorta sword if we go by the portrait

#

And i’ll be very sad if demeter isn’t punch grandma if we ever fight her

buoyant frost
#

I dont think we will

keen mason
#

It would be awesome if we could fight all the God's one by one

#

But it probably won't happen

thorny surge
#

Me neither but it’d be fun

keen mason
#

It could be there way of testing zag

buoyant frost
#

we're tested out no?

hollow mortar
#

Aphrodite plays as a mage-class in a moba I play. Pretty interesting squirtnya

thorny surge
#

We deadass crawled out of the underworld and slapped Hades into the House, i think Zag’s been more than tested already lol

hollow mortar
#

She attacks with her doves, infatuates enemies and aids her soulmates

buoyant frost
#

they said it a couple of times like "we've been waiting for you to prove yourself now eat up the strong stuff (legend boons etc)"

#

still yeah we could fight them not demeter but others who are pissed

jagged goblet
#

@hollow mortar - Smite's fun, but we all know Aphro's a lover, not a fighter!

buoyant frost
#

but I think the best tactics is to live there some time then casually ask Artemis for help in secret or smth

hollow mortar
#

Hey, I have a KDA that says otherwise 😝

open berry
#

looks at aphrodite threatening to come kill zag with her own hands, hmm

buoyant frost
#

or just straight up run run run to mother's hut

jagged goblet
#

My Zag would off himself if Aphro hated him, she'd never need to touch him.

hollow mortar
#

Achilles does note in the codex that Aphrodite is not to be taken lightly

jagged goblet
#

Never take love lightly, love.

hollow mortar
#

Ok, Cu Chulain 😘

eternal breach
#

just say we kissed

buoyant frost
#

shook

jagged goblet
#

I never choose any god over Aphro, but I should start sometimes just to see more lines from her.

#

I RP my runs

hollow mortar
#

You will get to see a sweet pink heart coming your way 💗

jagged goblet
#

#Scared

buoyant frost
#

how lovely... haha.......

jagged goblet
#

Honestly the one that I am most worried of choosing against, after doing it once, is Demeter

open berry
#

its just a gesture of love! tough love, if you will

jagged goblet
#

But given her speech pattern I'm not surprised motherf****

buoyant frost
#

im afraid of vortex things of hearts of waves and of wine bubbles

open berry
#

spurned poseidon and dionysus are easy to avoid though

buoyant frost
#

I'd better fight with meg or the bull than with gods

open berry
#

dionysus especially, unless you just have too much going on on your screen, but his come up slowly and dont hit you immediately

jagged goblet
#

My hardest choice every run is to go for hermes boon or dual-boon

#

or hermes vs hammer

buoyant frost
#

I'm afraid of anything next to lava honestly

jagged goblet
#

don't get me started about the lava

#

no-walls on my ARPG is why i never played Bastion

buoyant frost
#

I ***hate *** it

jagged goblet
#

I can't do that

open berry
#

[hypnos voice] have you tried, haha, not stepping in lava?

jagged goblet
#

I dash too hard

#

QQ

#

if lava was 1st realm instead of 2nd

buoyant frost
#

I was SO annoyed when hypnos said it

jagged goblet
#

I would have never played this game

open berry
#

lava nly messes me up in extreme measures hydra since the arena literally just becomes The Floor Is Lava: The Game some runs lmao

jagged goblet
#

for more than 10 mins

buoyant frost
#

++++++++++++

modern hearth
#

.-.

buoyant frost
#

pick hydra in the pact? no thanks i'd better go with x100 enemies +150% hp and +100% damage

jagged goblet
#

I'm still on heat 3, but guess it's soon time to try out hydra's new mod

modern hearth
#

Is this based on like, some form of genuine fear of video game lava or do you just dislike being punished for positioning that is less than ideal?

open berry
#

extreme measures is the best part of the pact tho

jagged goblet
#

Cale, I am just a bad gamer

#

I played Bastion for 10 mins, died 10 times from falling off cliffs

#

gave up quick

buoyant frost
#

I get in lava*** a lot***

modern hearth
#

I just started Bastion today on my Switch.

#

I've only fallen during the scripted falls so far.

jagged goblet
#

i basically live on the lava when i'm there, but that's fine cuz i dash back to safety quick

keen mason
#

Do y'all think the Hades extreme measures fight will be extremely hard

modern hearth
#

I use the shield over the dodge roll most of the time.

open berry
#

gotta have extreme measures hydra if you want extreme measures theseus ¯_(ツ)_/¯

frail cobalt
#

I end up in lava a lot more often than I end up falling in bastion

open berry
#

which i find more fun as a fight than vanilla fight

modern hearth
#

Dama. ❤️

frail cobalt
#

Hi!

modern hearth
#

Hey! It feels like it's been a minute!

frail cobalt
#

Yeah I’ve been writing a bunch

modern hearth
#

o:

frail cobalt
#

Less active on here

buoyant frost
#

I started Bastion just to train for lava realm lol

modern hearth
#

Exciting!

frail cobalt
#

Lol that’s a good idea

jagged goblet
#

I'll give Bastion a chance again some day, cuz it looks awesome

buoyant frost
#

it was really hard for me tho

frail cobalt
#

Bastion is incredible

#

Oh my god the music

modern hearth
#

Yeah so far it's real fun.

#

I wish Hades had a similar counter mechanic.

frail cobalt
#

I hadn’t listened to the soundtrack before playing so I heard all the songs in their full context

open berry
#

i played bastion in.. [checks achievement dates] 2012ish, i reinstalled it like a couple months ago and tried to revisit and i still have a lot of nostalgia for it but the polish of hades is certainly more noticeable when trying to go back to the combat in sgg's first title....

buoyant frost
#

I have Bastion on Steam for a long time but never really forced myself to play cuz its harddddd im a bad player....

frail cobalt
#

I’m still chasing the feeling of the credits rolling and hearing setting sail coming home for the first time

modern hearth
#

It's been interesting to play them in reverse order because you see a lot of the influence that ended up in Hades.

#

Like the Drips or w/e they're called move/attack very similar to how Numbskulls do.

buoyant frost
#

yessss

#

I played all but not bastion

modern hearth
#

rip

#

I bought Transistor on the Switch too

open berry
#

the uh squirts?

#

im trying to recall

modern hearth
#

They're still on sale rn, you can get both for $7.

#

Like total, not each.

buoyant frost
#

squirts squirtnya squirtdevious squirtmeh squirtyay

open berry
#

remember when bastion had a portal reference because everyone had portal references back then

modern hearth
#

Back when you couldn't say the word 'cake' without some smart crack saying "The cake is a lie, lololol".

open berry
#

UNFORTUNATELY..

#

at least bastion just added a lil turret

buoyant frost
#

Im so sad I missed everything

#

too young

modern hearth
#

lol i'm only 25 it's not like i'm ancient

#

90's was just the sweet spot to be born for a video game lyfe

#

But the trade off is crippling anxiety and uncertainty in a world not designed for you to thrive

#

Worth

open berry
#

well that escalated

modern hearth
#

Hahaha

frail cobalt
#

So I adore portal but if I have to hear a group of people all start singing that goddamn song in all different keys even one more time...

modern hearth
#

I fortunately somehow escaped ever hearing anybody sing it beyond GlaDos.

buoyant frost
#

yo its not like you're old ancient etc Im just saying I was too young for Bastion at that time :(

open berry
#

i was bad at portal and it made me feel stupid any time i played it so my attachment to it doesnt extend beyond 'turrets are neat lil lads'

frail cobalt
#

Lol if Cale is ancient I don’t know what that makes me

#

Decrepit

modern hearth
#

I said I'm not ancient.

#

Don't put that evil on me

frail cobalt
#

No I know, but if you even have to deny it!

modern hearth
#

i'm still a cheerful young lad ;~;

buoyant frost
#

and I'm saying you're not ancient!!!

#

ok?

frail cobalt
#

😂

#

The fact that it’s even a possibility to be refuted...

modern hearth
#

I know, Gaul, I am employing an extraordinary technique called;

#

Humor.

buoyant frost
#

oh no

frail cobalt
#

It’s from before your time

modern hearth
#

In my age I've mastered it.

buoyant frost
#

I've hever heard of that squirtooh

frail cobalt
#

Back when going places and doing things was possible

modern hearth
#

F

#

Back in the day we used to go sit at these places called restaurants and eat food made by OTHER people.

buoyant frost
#

i'm laughing so hard now thank you

modern hearth
#

I used to work in one of these locations but the COVID took my jerbb

sweet crystal
#

Oh my please tell us more of these forgotten times!

hollow mortar
#

Please move the discussion to #off-topic-discussion if it’s going to continue, as stated in the 3rd rule of the server

frail cobalt
#

@hollow mortar ah sorry, we will. It’s hard to tell sometimes whether something will be a diversion for just a few lines or if it will end up going on

modern hearth
#

What if we took the discussion and MOVED it over

hollow mortar
#

It’s ok if it’s a brief chat but if you see it will be prolonged, better to go to the channel specified for that squirtyay

modern hearth
#

I'm just going to end it. #off-topic-discussion already is deep in conversation and it gets chaotic trying to interject anything not on subject in there sometimes.

#

In other news; Hades, huh? That guy has a beard that twists.

#

Weird.

junior field
#

dude made his beard the sigil of his house

vapid parcel
#

was his beard first or did he style it

#

asdfghjkl

buoyant frost
#

the fact what him beard reversed is the pic on the money

#

like presidents faces

#

but without a face

thorny surge
#

the future hades trinket is going to be a fake hades beard

#

which changes zaugreus' model to sport a bident beard too

buoyant frost
#

AHAHHAA

thorny surge
#

has a chance to charm nearby enemies

modern hearth
#

If genetics are anything to go off of, Zag will have a pretty godly beard of his own when he's older.

#

His dad and both main Uncles are already rocking em

thorny surge
#

Yeah, two out of his three bearded relatives have pretty nice beards

buoyant frost
#

a chance 0.0001% just for persephone to be charmed

modern hearth
#

THEY'RE ALL NICE BEARDS

thorny surge
#

dude that’s his mother but then again this is inspired in greek mythology so extra points for following the original myths

cloud geode
#

Also patroclus, his placeholder portrait was just,, Fluffy beard

frail cobalt
#

I think zag is old enough to grow one, but his body keeps reverting to default state whenever he respawns

#

OH. Imagine hades loses his beard when you kill him

vapid parcel
#

asdfghjk

#

oh god

cloud geode
#

0-0 cursed material

buoyant frost
#

imagine EVERYONE comments on the beard

#

and chaos be like oh. that is new. what do you call it? is it some kind of weapon?

cloud geode
#

@spiral pond look cursed material, beardless hades

spiral pond
#

Oh i have just the right thing to combo with it

modern hearth
#

Heardless Hades.

#

Beard*

#

lol

#

I bet he has a super weak chin

buoyant frost
#

listen

#

listen

#

listen

cloud geode
#

sweet

buoyant frost
#

a trinket

thorny surge
#

I do not like this image charlie
Her smug aura taunts me

buoyant frost
#

just for hades fight

#

and you have a beard but he has not

modern hearth
#

I bet if Zag put on a fake Hades beard Hypnos would be too tired to tell the difference.

spiral pond
#

I should get a Aphro smile

#

hang on

modern hearth
#

Artemis smile is the only smile that matters.

spiral pond
#

you all are cursed in this reality

buoyant frost
#

imagine stealing his real beard for one fight

spiral pond
#

when i exist

cloud geode
#

I want supergiant to replace all the portraits with smiling characters like this for 4/20

buoyant frost

for playing the insturnment does it just happen randomly or is there something ya need to do

what do you mean "happen randomly".... you like... have a harp... and press play

you'd need several aquariums though

at least two

well to play better i mean, ive been playing it for months now and he barely has improved

hell even if half of it's on the same river we don't know if it's all the same ecosystem

because the presence of feesh does imply an ongoing ecosystem despite it being the underworld, which is hilarious in hindsight

@viscid fjord just play after each run.... It took me 1-3 days (dont remember) so its weird I dunno

im pretty sure its the last thing i need

have you spoken to orpheus

regularly

yeah every run i talk to everybody and hit the harp then go out

weird

he has quest mark tho

i think you may either be bugged or just have bad rng

should i give him more ambrosia

she's also a musician so some bits of the quest might require speaking to her too

i have the quest on the fate desk, and i did free him so he can visit his tree wife

maybe you're supposed to talk to her and you just softlocked yourself by accident

I dont remember talking to her about the harp at all

affection is literally not tied in with the lyre progress at all

you need 200+ total interactions with the lyre to finish it

viscid fjord

does it count if i spam it

i thought it was once per run type deal

you need to legit practice

as in use the harp a couple dozens of times between each run

alright time to spam it i guess

orpheus will comment at 20, 60, 110 and 210 interactions

okay i guess im just half way through then thanks for the assistance

so wait

oh wait so it's not after each run huh

thorny surge
#

can you literally just do it on the same run

buoyant frost
#

no I dont think so

thorny surge
#

you just need to mash the damn thing

open berry
#

if you want to sit there waiting for the interaction time to clear 200+ times, sure

lunar kiln
#

orpheus has to comment on each stage of your progress anyway before you can complete the prophecy

buoyant frost
#

he will not talk to you more 2 times a run

thorny surge
#

yeah i was about to go there too

lunar kiln
#

so it'll still take a couple runs

open berry
#

but i suggest just hitting it up some amounts of times between runs so it doesnt feel like such a drag

#

yeah you will still have to do at minimum like 4 runs to get the orpheus dialogue

#

but you cant just sit there spamming the button, the interaction has to completely clear first

buoyant frost
#

I was just sitting there harping the harp for 3 mins when I got it so I guess I just skipped the "why doesn't he talk to me" part lol

open berry
#

@buoyant frost only if you gift him. if you have him maxed out he acts like any other npc, you only get one dialogue per run.

#

you only get more if you gift

buoyant frost
#

I mean talk with quest mark

open berry
#

thats part of regular dialogue i believe

#

like, i didnt get additional dialogue with nyx when she had the quest marker above her, i had to yet again complete another run for more conversation

buoyant frost
#

strange I got new lines every time I saw a quest marker I was sure it means exactly "come hear new story dialogue"

open berry
#

no i mean like. when you finish a run, you only get conversation from npcs once. even if they have more dialogue to cycle through, they won't give you additional dialogue until you do another run

viscid fjord
#

i can play it now, i jist needed 10 more plays lol

#

just

open berry
#

gift and quest/narrative dialogue have different priorities so you can gift an npc and get dialogue from that, and still talk to that npc and get other dialogue

buoyant frost
#

uuuuugh I'm confused now let's say we understood each other

viscid fjord
#

should i use my diamonds to unlock songs or save em for future stuff.

buoyant frost
#

maybe my english is not that good or I just need sleep q-q

well there is a certain npc that needs a lot of them so if you unlocked them you should know what I'm talking about and if not then don't spend the diamonds

Apparently "Macedonia" is the name of a country. What's the relation supposed to be between The Macedonian Chariot that Theseus gets and the European country of Macedonia?

open berry
#

wrong macedonia. north macedonia and macedonia of antiquity are two different things. this is probably intended to be a reference to antiquity during the hellenistic period more than anything else, as the ancient macedonian kingdom was quite involved in classics

#

at a glance ancient macedonia was involved in at least 4 major wars lmao

war chariots were in use back in those times you know

#

I played a new save and got all the way up to Hades

#

kinda sad that there's no new dialogue for going that far without the Mirror

#

after I died to Hades, Meg told me that the next time I get past her I should go all the way... b-but I did

#

I stepped fiery foot onto the surface and the God of the Dead himself had to come and stop me, don't feel bad for losing to Zag after all that.

#

Still though, it's interesting how the lore progresses when you haven't gone back to the House yet. Zagreus really seems badass when he goes all the way, and all the lore reveals

#

when he talks to Cerberus about having to find his mother, or seeing Hades for the first time since technically you haven't been back at the House yet

#

it's like a whole different game since all the late-game lore is said only at late-game bosses, and the missing interactions back at the house makes it way more gratifying a reveal

#

is interesting

open berry
#

you didn't get dialogue bc the start of game dialogue takes priority. as far as I know only meg ever really comments on lack of darkness though

#

so there's not really any incentive to doing it other than personal challenge. I tried it once and hated it lmao

lost estuary
#

yeah no I think it's pretty much impossible for people to get that far on their legitimate first try, so I'm not saying there should be dialogue or anything

#

but Meg commenting on the lack of darkness should be a thing though, since she does say at one point the only reason Zag wins is cuz of the mirror

#

even though you can beat her without it

drifting citrus
#

she does comment on it

#

but other dialogue probably takes priority

lost estuary
#

oh really?

#

There's dialogue if you go without the mirror?

open berry
#

I literally already said meg comments on it lmao

#

she has a few lines, in the battle chamber and in the lounge as far as I remember

#

but again all of that start of the game dialogue takes priority

#

I'm not sure what the minimum amount of runs you'd have to go through to see them are, might be easier to just do it on a file you've gone through much of the dialogue already to increase your chances, and just restart if you get the other fury sisters

#

iirc in one she accuses zag of rubbing it in and he explains he only wanted to prove himself to her

brave moat
#

Hey guys, I have a theory if you want to read it.

#

So, I have a theory pertaining to the final aspects and some very feasible information to back it up.

I have a feeling that they will all lead to different choices of how the true ending of the game will pan out.

Reason 1: Let's start off with the Frost Flair Blade and Demeter. When I took that final aspect to the surface and had a few of her boons, I had a very interesting line of dialogue from Hades about it.

First, Zagreus said "Brr, it feels colder up here for some reason."
He said something along the lines of "So, you are naive in not seeing the effects you are causing in the world beyond?"

To which Zagreus responds "Then tell me father, what exactly is going on?"

To which Hades retorts back "Hmph, it's better that you stay ignorant of your choices and the future consequences they bring, just as you always have been."

I think one of the true ending choices has Zagreus ending the world in an ice age or something along the lines with the Frost Flair blade and the power of Demeter

#

———————————

#

The other final aspect, though I am not too certain how it will play out, it might have something to do with him protecting his mother with the blades defensive aura.

That or he might be the founder of King Arthur himself

#

We will have to see the other final aspects to see just how they might influence and/or back up my theory

#

Some contractor items require it, but besides that it's just for songs and ambrosia

topaz oriole
#

yeah i know the pacts are on the contractor, i just finished getting both of them

brave moat
#

I would love to have my theory pinned for people to read

#

If enough people find it interesting, anyway.

neon moon
#

personally, i feel it adds an interesting way to have a conclusion

#

working towards the aspects to see how the story could end

brave moat
#

To add to it, there have been quite a few lines from Zagreus stating that the final aspects are something pertaining to the future. Or in this case, future events and the true ending.

topaz oriole
#

i think i'm down for that

#

though i always did find it odd that guan yu's aspect is called the "frost" flair blade

#

nothing about him ever stuck out to me as frosty

neon moon
#

isnt it frost fair though

topaz oriole
#

don't remember

and im pretty sure its just bc guan yu's actual weapon was called that

green dragon something blade

topaz oriole
#

from the idea that during a battle in the snow, the blade continuously had blood on it; the blood froze and made a layer of frost on the blade.

#

neon moon
#

can i link the wikipedia page here or nah

#

oh you found it lol

brave moat
#

I only got that dialogue from carrying that blade and having Demeter boons on me

#

Interestingly enough

topaz oriole
#

i actually got another recent new line of dialogue myself

#

i don't think the weapon mattered

#

but it was a conversation the two had anyway regarding demeter

#

and zag was confused about if she's doing something

neon moon
#

does demeter give frost related comments or no

topaz oriole
#

hades just said "remain ignorant then, for the best"

neon moon
#

like when you have guan yus aspect

#

actually nvm

topaz oriole
#

i don't remember her having such a line

neon moon
#

id assume yes

brave moat
#

Yeah that's what he said to me

topaz oriole
#

i know she has it for malphon

neon moon
#

i vaguely remember getting one for one of the swords

#

i THINK

#

im not super sure though

brave moat
#

We need to see the next final aspect, but I think if it is going along my train of thought, this will be very interesting to see.

topaz oriole
#

i've wondered what exactly would determine the final aspects for the other weapons

#

to that extent, interesting that we got guan yu's spear instead of, say

#

Have you ever noticed Zagreus has heterochromia eyes. His father's eye color is red, his mothers is green

It always interested me

I generally think heterochromatic eyes look cool as hell

#

I also generally think that I should've gone to sleep by 12 and not be up right now at past 3 AM

i'm sure there's plot significance for zagreus having the form of heterochromia he does, but generally i see characters having that "just cuz"

Hypnos is SMALL

eternal breach
#

But by extension theseus also smal

#

Since theseus and zag are the same height

runic terrace
#

you refuse to see the TRUTH......hypnos is skinny but hes tall about it!!!!!

lone hamlet
#

manlet theseus valid

open berry
#

Technically speaking I think zag is just inherently small due to gameplay purposes but I was actually saying to someone last night I hope we get like some kind of height chart or smth after full launch

runic terrace
#

zag scoops hyp up in his arms and hypnos leans over and crawls down his back like a cat

lone hamlet
#

eternal breach
#

Every once in a while i forget Than is ripped and I get punched when i see him

runic terrace
#

#

lone hamlet
#

back to the earlier conversation I really do like Ares/Than although it's like... crack 😳

#

yes. dusa lorge

open berry
#

I'm sorry I can't think of a body switch without hypnos marvelling down at his new exposed nip staring out into the world

runic terrace
#

#

than is just v shippable in my eyes but that's maybe just because he embodies 90% of my favorite character tropesn😳

runic terrace
#

ares (BIG HEART EYES) -> than (meh) edit to say this is just imo if u hc him loving ares back ur valid as HELL
than (i want him to care me....) -> hermes (he cute i guess but i dont have the time to wait around while he has emotions)
charon (UR THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS ME) -> hermes (BBY U AR MY AAANGEL)

I like to think Dusa is about Aegis sized

runic terrace
#

SO quality

#

omg....

#

aegis is just a dusa sled

lone hamlet
#

that has me picturing Dusa on one of those cleaning robot thingies

#

Dusa... on a roomba

runic terrace
#

dusa roomba omg...

lone hamlet
#

#

ok but the concept of Aegis as a sled: Zag using Aegis to waterski via Charon's boat

runic terrace
#

open berry

somber gull

@brave moat i forgot there's two events like that involving meg

#

the first one implies ||meg used to be zag's gf and she was grabbing her stuff from his room||

jagged goblet
#

I've had all the conversations possible with Sisyphus and gave him nectar for days, still no reduced sentence option showing up in the shop. Anyone else took a lot of runs until it showed up?

I've just made this quest, on my 90th run I guess

#

You need to talk to Nyx also

#

I mean literally every quest involves Nyx doing something because you asked

jagged goblet
#

i talk to anyone and everyone between runs

#

sisyphus just doesn't come up

#

guess it might take a few more runs for random conversation triggers

fresh bough
#

guess it might take a few more runs for random conversation triggers
just keep on it

jagged goblet
#

I mean, if I keep fighting my overpowered father to escape and die at a loading screen, you know I'll keep talking until I release a king!

supple dagger
#

Idk why me popping into this server reminded me... but I'm almost done getting all the possible cosmetics for the House (as of this current update. I already expecting BIG things... unless it's mostly narrative and Charon stops looking like he's trying to be Thanatos' stan).

thorny surge
#

The lounge renovations help you romance best girl though ||except you can’t||

cinder saffron
#

Do the heads that hades throw out count as traps for sure footing?

thorny surge
#

nope

#

They’re projectiles

#

You can even deflect them for some sweet sweet skull tennis

cinder saffron
#

what

#

no they arent

#

not when they explode

lunar kiln
#

i think the urns count as trap damage

#

the shockwave from hades' casts disappearing also used to count as trap damage

#

they probably still do but i'm not sure

thorny surge
#

yes they are

#

if you athena the skulls before they hit the ground they bounce back

#

it's a small-ish window but you can totally athena them back, discovered it by accident

cinder saffron
#

lol aspect of zeus is super weird

#

i know @thorny surge its just not what i was asking about

hollow mortar
#

Horst is asking if the shockwaves which appear after the timer on the skulls reach 0 count as trap damage (I'm not really sure myself)

astral tinsel
#

hey

#

i see in the "next major update" there are 19 aspects of the 6 main weapons

#

what is the 19 aspect and for what weapon?

fresh bough
#

what is the 19 aspect and for what weapon?
The truth is:
only devs know

#

but I hope it's shield

#

bc I want more shield

vapid parcel
#

god please

#

i need more shield

fresh bough
#

instead of throwing the shield

#

you throw yourself

#

and deal a lot of damage

vapid parcel
#

ahshfjfj

fresh bough
#

but you have to retrieve the shield afterwards

vapid parcel
#

yes.

tribal fiber
#

put points into aspect of chaos yesterday

#

5 full runs, easy.

vapid parcel
#

i prefer zeus tbh

#

just bc i can make it go the other way and clean up one part while it does damage somewhere else

tribal fiber
#

I mostly play spear/sword/bow, but farming some titan blood atm

vapid parcel
#

nice! man i need to farm Everything

astral tinsel
#

do you know how to farm quickly titan blood?

vapid parcel
#

get gud?

thorny surge
#

do several runs with different weapons at different heat levels since that resets the rewards

lunar kiln
#

the pact is still the best way to grind titan blood

thorny surge
#

yeah

#

by far

#

feesh are way too unreliable

lunar kiln
#

you can also try and save 1,5k coins to buy titan blood from charon's styx shop (if he has that bc sometimes he doesnt) and keep an eye on the broker's deals

astral tinsel
#

what is the pact? ^^'

hollow mortar
#

Have you escaped at least once? @astral tinsel

astral tinsel
#

no xDDDD

hollow mortar
#

If you do, you will unlock the Pact of Punishments. It adds more challenge to your future escape attempts in exchange of getting more bounties (Titan Blood, Diamond and Ambrosia)

astral tinsel
#

ooohhhh

#

i mean

#

i fought hades like 6 times

#

but i dont kelled him alredy xD

thorny surge
#

yeah, it lets you get penalties in order to make future runs more challenging
in exchange it resets the boss bounties so you can claim rewards all over again

#

there's several restrictions on it so you can't exploit it, imo they managed to find a nice spot between challenging and rewarding

Good luck in beating the FB 🍀
