#

Artemis really is testing me

molten temple
#

i like god mode because i'm trying to contribute stuff to the wiki from early game and it's easier progression that way. my hell mode save is for challenge

eternal breach
#

End of tartarus i have two boons one is common and the other passion dash

frozen jolt
#

god mode is in the game for you to use it shadesmile donโ€™t feel bad about it

open berry
#

yeah

#

sgg has has multiple tweets similar to this, so don't feel shamed about doing so, despite some of the community stigma

thorny surge
#

that didnโ€™t stop me the last time and will not stop me the next
i am inevitable

frozen jolt
#

well, please donโ€™t put other players down for choosing to play god mode, since thatโ€™s what itโ€™s in the game for.

#

We have three rules in the server which you can read in #readme-first, and being kind is one of them

open berry
#

duwang is playing around most of the time, but the thing is not everyone is going to get that. I only do bc I've been hanging around long enough ๐Ÿ˜” still, there is a real stigma against god mode and it's silly bc like... if you don't need it then don't use it

eternal breach
#

"Ugh this is giving me a bad time and im not even out of asphodel yet, i should just give up-"
Zag: I should press on.

#

comedy

HEAVENLY CHOIR GUYS

eternal breach
#

IFS AN ARMORED FLAME WHEEL ROOM

thorny surge
#

plot twist: Zagโ€™s entire life has been a truman show kind of deal and his escapes are the producers manipulating zag into leaving to spice things up because they were starting to loose audience

Ughh

Im just gonna go to sleep

molten temple

g'night

eternal breach
#

Forgive me, Artemis ๐Ÿ˜”

#

I failed you

north cloak
#

Oh man the story is starting to get really interesting for me!

#

Hades is warning me not to learn more about persephone, or I risk something huge, for my sake

#

but our relationship is so terrible, he can't just tell me what it is

noble quartz
#

The mythology involved (as well as some of the unusual phrasing Hades has when you interact with him) points in a certain direction

#

Also a potential "real" last boss past the current one

graceful quail
#

the final boss is clearly the narrator that kills you everytime even if you "win"

silk saffron
#

But how will we ever hope to defeat disembodied voice

north cloak
#

the final boss is clearly the narrator that kills you everytime even if you "win"
@graceful quail
I was just thinking about this. How unlike Zagreus to not comment on how the Narrator keeps wiping him out, when earlier he said, "You know I can hear you, old man."

#

Mooromi oooooh.... dang now I have to dive more into mythology if I want to sleuth about it before discovering!!!! โค๏ธ โค๏ธ

graceful quail
#

if it was a woman voice, i would say it is the fates

noble quartz
#

As much as I would love the Into the Woods style 4th wall ending, my money is on || Hera||

north cloak
#

thank you for the tag

๐Ÿ˜„

noble quartz
#

no prob

open berry
#

SHAKES............ THE SPOILERS FOR NEW CONTENT ARE SO GOOD im really feeling chicken tendy in this here wendys tonight lads

open tiger
#

Hahaha, I basically just woke up

#

I checked the server, went "nope" and rolled back over for a bit

#

I'm probably gonna cave and get on Hades soon

open berry
#

im absolutely giddy

open tiger
#

Ooh, dangit now I'm more excited to get on. Can you point me in the right direction, no spoilers? Or will I be able to find it pretty easily?

bleak osprey
open berry
#

wope my apologies

open tiger
#

Ahh, fair. Mb as well

bleak osprey
#

this may be the spoilers channel, but it is not for beta discussion

open tiger
#

o7

open berry
#

noted! we're all caught up in the excitement, will keep it in mind o/

bleak osprey
#

if that.... makes sense. regular spoilers, not [spongebob voice] advanced spoilers

open tiger
#

Lmao

open berry
#

actually true spoiler is that bouldy is the final boss

#

whether thats true or not is for you to decide

drifting citrus
#

me with my egs version: dusa

#

jkjk i'm just excited the update's gonna be soon

open berry
#

new update thats just exploding chariots in every room

#

youre not in elysium though? too bad

drifting citrus
#

that sounds fun as heck

#

every room is an erebus room

#

onions only run

open berry
#

i would simply just stop playing

drifting citrus
#

i would simply just play more

open berry
#

you are more powerful than i ๐Ÿ˜”

open tiger
#

That's a lotta onions

#

I didn't know this game had that many layers

open berry
#

:/

drifting citrus
open berry
#

cant decide what i hate more about that, the layer joke, or the fact the layer joke immediately reminded me of shrek

atomic forge
#

I've picked up the Onion Eater title before.

open berry
#

is that failing 2 or 3 erebus rooms in a run

open tiger
#

o7

:3

atomic forge
#

Yup.

eternal breach
#

ONION EATER

tranquil lichen
#

please post some screenshots for us poor egs players

#

specifically of new boons and aspects?

atomic forge
#

This belongs in the beta channel.

open tiger
#

And make sure to spoiler tag them, please

tranquil lichen
#

that's why I asked in this channel, anyone looking here shouldn't be surprised to see spoilers

open tiger
#

But right now, I wouldn't expect Beta spoilers in here, because they're not supposed to go here

open berry
#

yeah we're not allowed to post spoilers related to the beta here, since its not in the official branch of the game yet

#

live branch?

#

the non-beta branch fdjshgk

#

you know what i mean

cloud geode
#

do you think i should get it? i feel like i will spoiler myself all the things if i see some things early but at the same time it's not spoiling because i'm playing myself?

#

Also i still have to beat the final boss so i don't have many things available yet, what do you think? It's stupid i know my mind just hates decisions, even useless ones

open tiger
#

so this beta is mostly focused on tech stuff, making sure their updated systems will work

it's not focused on story, though there are new story elements

cloud geode
#

yeah yeah i know, my concern was for the new story and gameplay elements
guess waiting for so long eventually grew up on me and now i'm afraid of actually seeing the changes ahah

fair light
#

This beta contains almost all the content of The Blood Price Update, coming later this month. That includes a significant amount of new story content and voice lines (the most we have ever added in an Early Access update). However, the focus of the beta is on evaluating the tech -- the presence of the content is a side effect of our development process (we can't just rip all the new stuff out before launching the beta).

If you want to see the new content in a prerelease format you can play the beta. Or if you'd rather wait until it's more polished, please wait for the official launch later this month. Of course the ultimate version of that is waiting for the game to exit Early Access altogether! Depends on your appetite for "early".

open berry
#

greg honestly you are a saint

molten temple
#

Also if this counts as beta spoilers i'll delete this, but I did see that post-Blood Price is work on v1.0! hype!

cloud geode
#

thank you greg, maybe i'll just ponder about it and decide tomorrow with a fresh mind!

grizzled schooner
#

What do I need to do to finish harp quest?

#

The playing sounds fine but I'm getting no prompts from Orpheus

#

can't gift anything to him

#

and the last couple of times there was nothing to do when he was in Asphodel

thorny surge
#

just spam the devil out of the harp

grizzled schooner
#

But zag already said he can play

#

and it's now playing these ~10s long pieces that sound good

#

please don't tell me I need to keep grinding that even more

open berry
#

you have to talk to orpheus a final time to officially finish out the quest

#

wont count otherwise

grizzled schooner
#

hmm but he only has one liners now

#

how do I 100% know that I know how to play then? because it sounds like I do

open berry
#

might have to cycle through the dialogue first so just keep doing runs

#

the prophecy complete notif will pop up once you've gotten the final required dialogue from orpheus

grizzled schooner
#

alright I'll keep trying thanks

north cloak
#

Ok, so what did I do that advanced the Achilles plot?

#

but I don't know what I did to make that happen

#

THe only thing I can think of is giving Than his first bottle of ambrosia

#

but that doesn't make sense

upbeat willow
#

if you're referring to any new content in the Technical beta please keep that in the #beta-discussion-june20 please @north cloak bittieCozy

hollow mortar
#

Probably best to keep reactions like those in the beta channels unless you are 100% sure which content isn't from the tech beta.

north cloak
#

I don't think it's new though, is it?

#

I just was never able to get it before

#

I thought Achilles has a lock, not a swirly arrow

#

But I almost posted there, but didn't because of the spoilers, so next time I can and just put it in ||||

upbeat willow
hollow mortar
#

Spoil away in there with the spoiler tags~

naive anchor
#

anyone who has the beta can tell me which new aspects are in there while i try to get in?

drifting citrus
naive anchor
#

thank you, i didn't see all the new beta channels

upbeat willow
manic yoke
#

@naive anchor new enemies, new boons, new weapons, and a secret boss are the big splashy things. A lot of small graphical changes too though ofc

naive anchor
#

thank you, new boss EM4?

manic yoke
#

No!

#

S E C R E T boss

#

๐Ÿ™‚

open berry
#

guys the mods are gonna eat you

upbeat willow
#

a light bonk geez ๐Ÿ˜›
we're not that mean

open berry
#

was gonna say friendly vore but i forget not everyone wasted four years of their life with asymmetric dino vs human games where that was simply an every day thing so that might be weird ๐Ÿ˜”

#

carry on your light bonking

#

aggy typin and then leavin me high and dry, i see ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

upbeat willow
#

evolve came out more than 4 years ago...damn I almost forgot that thing existed bittieLUL

manic yoke
#

I dunno it's not hyped to mention a secret boss?

open berry
#

i wish i could say i played it but alas. imagine though, such a concept with hades. the monster possibilities are endless

#

its not but we're not supposed to really talk about the beta outside of the appropriate channels. not even spoilers

manic yoke
#

fair nuff

upbeat willow
#

once the new update is out, sure but before then it's best to keep the technical beta things in their respective channels for those who wish to wait for the update

open berry
#

waiting for that update to drop so I can theorize about lore, clenches fist

clear oracle
#

this is going to feel so weird for the next couple of days haha

#

most of the traffic is routing via the beta channel

ornate siren
#

yeah lol

hollow mortar
#

Hey, those who are loyal will remain in the normal channels squirtyay

#

Meanwhile, I'm branding everyone else heretics

open berry
#

good thing I was already a heretic!

trail turtle
#

I wish I wasn't at work now to test out the technical beta lol

north cloak
#

I'm on the tech beta to hopefully improve the normal release for my computer

#

I kind of wish I didn't see all these story updates

#

Because I can't tell what's new and what I would have gotten in nighty night

upbeat willow
nocturne sandal
#

Is it okay to discuss beta related spoilers here?

upbeat willow
north cloak
ornate siren
#

There's a specific tune that plays when you beat a Styx tunnel that reminds me of Bad Guy at the start

eternal breach
#

Bad guy but replace every bad with rat

clever fern
#

ok sorryyyyy

open berry
#

o/

#

We'll be free once the update drops haha

hollow mortar
#

You put the shackles on yourself. Sisiphus would be happy bouldy

graceful quail
#

first few times in the temple: "please be the sack" later: please just dont be tiny vermit

sly tulip
#

Uhm, if I wanted to get the boss loot from the first boss, did I have to go through all the weapons to be able to get it with my first weapon again?

split kelp
#

No, it works slightly different than that.

#

Each weapon has it's own loot from the bosses.

#

Once you beat the game you can add difficulty modifiers that allow you to collect more for each weapon.

sly tulip
#

But... they are all the same, though?

#

Oh, right. So upgrade difficulty to get loot with the same weapon?

split kelp
#

Yes, each weapon will get one Titan blood from the first boss.

sly tulip
#

:I

#

I'm starting to think the item that does so I take no damage when going to the chaos realm is rather useless...

#

My second run (currently just killed the hydra) and I haven't found the portal so far...

open tiger
#

That's a matter of luck. But buying ixions in the shop helps. Fated Persuasion to reroll the shop increases your chances

sly tulip
#

Uhh, is it just me, or has the game become easier? ๐Ÿ˜•

hollow mortar
#

It becomes easier the more experienced you get squirtyay

open tiger
#

Hahaha, that's a good one :3

sly tulip
#

I mean... usually I tend to die 1-2 times, at least, at the arena, but now I beat them with a bow... #FirstTry

#

First time using the bow, I mean

hollow mortar
#

That's because you have an idea of their attack patters shadesmile

#

It could also mean the bow suits you better ๐Ÿคท

sly tulip
#

... Idk

#

That is one nice boon. 20 second cooldown, but it negates the dmg of an attack (legendary) ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

hollow mortar
#

Divine Protection is awesome ๐Ÿ’›

sly tulip
#

Any recommendation on what to get at revonation? And should I just use diamonds there, or is there something else I can use diamonds on?

clear oracle
#

Hey there

#

I would suggest the Darkness gives you max health one as a starter

#

If you use dark generation mirror talent

#

Every darkness room you enter will give you both a sizable heal

#

And some max health to boot

#

As for diamons use in general, there are later quests that will use diamonds. But rarely would you run into diamond shortage.

sly tulip
#

Okay

nova spoke
#

yeah, Diamonds, unlike Titan Blood, seem to hit the cap of progression usefulness around maybe 5 heat or so and then their only use is to be traded up to more Titan Blood.

sly tulip
#

Okay

open tiger
#

there are also a lot of cosmetics you can buy with gems

sly tulip
#

So far I just buy whatever I think might help, next I'll just go for cosmetics ๐Ÿคท
Uhh, the boss loot from the arena bosses, is that just to trade for something else at the merchant??

clear oracle
#

I'm assuming Ambrosia

#

Those can be used to gift certain NPCs

#

That's how you receive various items that can help you on your runs.

sly tulip
#

Wow... upgrading the weapon makes it 10 times worse. Great to know -_-

#

Hm, I think that's another one?

bleak osprey
#

which weapon?

sly tulip
#

Bow

split kelp
#

And which Aspect?

sly tulip
#

Chiron

split kelp
#

Chiron with low ranks is bad, Chiron at max rank is really quite good.

open tiger
#

yeah

sly tulip
#

I upgraded it a couple of times, yet it does nothing

open tiger
#

that may be a matter of playstyle

#

how do you use it?

sly tulip
#

... I shoot things?

split kelp
#

Shoot things until they have the target marker on them, then press the special.

open tiger
#

okay, as an example, when I use Chiron I usually try to shoot one thing quickly, then spam special 2-3 times, then rinse and repeat

split kelp
#

The special now homes in on the last target you shot.

sly tulip
#

Mine doesn't...

open berry
#

yeah chiron relies heavily on you keeping up with marks

split kelp
#

Do you have Chiron equipped?

#

Any time your primary fire hits something you should see the mark appearing.

sly tulip
#

How do I equip it?

#

Ohhh

split kelp
#

In the screen where you put in the upgrades click on Chiron.

sly tulip
#

Click on it. Got it

split kelp
#

You can also tell by the graphics. Zag bow is purple, Chiron is kinda gold-ish.

modern stone
#

all this time I thought Nyx was Hades' new piece after his old wife but it turns out that's not the case?

#

is she like his business partner in a sense in ruling over the dominion of hell? If so how does Hades have power over her and can punish her

open tiger
#

you'll actually learn those things through more dialogue!

bold niche
#

every business partnership has statements, where one can apply sanctions towards another

#

i believe

modern stone
#

so does that mean in the sense that Hades has power over punishing every person in hell, that Nyx also has some power over Hades, though her power is not punishment ?

bold niche
#

sort of

graceful quail
#

nyx is the night itself, she have power of the underworld in a way, but she rather let hades have the job of dealing with the dead

#

they have an agrement and that realm exist because of her, but hades rules it

fervent skiff
#

The Underworld was is utter ruin after the fall of the Titans, Nyx had asked Hades to take over the realm as its ruler, and ever since then the Underworld has been much more in Order thanks to Hades

karmic trout
#

is there any benefit of max out chiron's heart?

upbeat willow
#

As in the bow aspect?

karmic trout
#

as in genral

#

general*

upbeat willow
#

The benefit of maxing out aspects is they do the thing they do better than of you didn't

karmic trout
#

oh I mean npc

upbeat willow
#

No technical beta talk outside the beta channels

#

You physically cannot max out charon's hearts in current patch

clear oracle
#

You physically cannot max out charon's hearts in current patch
Technically there is no physical rule that prevents you from doing so ๐Ÿ˜›

modern stone
#

gotcha, thanks guys

echo mist
#

WOAH

#

NYX

#

WHAT

ornate siren
#

remember if you're on beta don't risk it being something new!

#

but yes ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

nyx is cool

echo mist
#

nono

#

I haven't played Hades for like a solid 7 months?

#

oh

#

4 months

#

nvm

upbeat willow
#

ahh good, i was about to type the usual blurb of use tech beta channels klinkLUL

echo mist
#

it felt like 7 months

upbeat willow
#

Nyx is indeed pretty bittie3

the darkness jewellery on her 11/10

hooolee

#

I was like

#

ooooh, whodis

#

and then I saw it was Nyx

#

haha, did a double take

#

when'd they change her art?

upbeat willow
#

the nighty night update in march

crimson temple
#

With the coming update, all characters will have individual portraits and sprites, so no more floating hooded figures!

echo mist
#

yay

#

and man

#

there's a whole new mirror's worth of stuff

#

o_0

#

we can't have both things active it looks like

hollow mortar
#

Hello! Enjoy the new content ๐Ÿ™‚

echo mist
#

yeah my eyes are rolling XD

modern stone
#

I love the relationship or should I say lack thereof between Dusa and Nyx

#

I always end up laughing lul

#

"you may not speak to the prince unless spoken to first"

crimson temple
#

It does escalate even further. I think it is confined to the beta content right now, though.

modern stone
#

LMFAO

#

I can't wait

north cloak
#

Is it just me, or does zag's lyre playing get less resonant and less pretty with practice

#

I am at the third stage

primal cipher
#

I'm so tempted to try the beta but I'm going to hold off until it's released shadefear

upbeat willow
#

either way you choose to enjoy the content is 100% valid ^_^

#

hope you enjoy it whenever you choose to play it bittie3

fresh willow
#

so for example completing the mission for the singer there gives you a pet?

clear oracle
#

Singer doesn't give you one unfortunately

#

Meg, Than, Sisyphus, Dusa, and Skelly does.

fresh willow
#

the quest where Z got to learn how to play an instrument?

clear oracle
#

That quest is useless haha

fresh willow
#

lol

#

xD

clear oracle
#

If you have access to the Administrative Chamber

fresh willow
#

not yet

clear oracle
#

Ah ok

#

When you get there, you can start completing quests.

fresh willow
#

I'm prioritizing upgrading those things with gems that gives you buffs in runs

#

like more money with gems etc

clear oracle
#

The one I used is from Sisyphus. But I won't spoil more so you can discover them yourselves.

fresh willow
#

yea yea ^^

clear oracle
#

Also yeah I agree that upgradings chambers are more useful

#

You are on the right track!

fresh willow
#

just my opinion, but you could have put a commentary on the video or some

#

or if you are good you could speak and explain what are you doing while doing, its more engaging for the watcher ^^

#

or if you are good you could speak and explain what are you doing while doing, its more engaging for the watcher ^^
I cannot for example

clear oracle
#

Thanks for the idea. The vid was actually a response to a challenge not too long ago to complete a run without core boons.

fresh willow
#

aw okok so was just to prove

#

^^

clear oracle
#

So commentary was not on the list. There are other better YouTuber such as Haelian if you want to check him out :D

#

In the meanwhile, good luck!

fresh willow
#

yep already saw it ^^

#

too fast still xD

#

well going back to hades xD thx for help mate

#

wait, how could you call sysyfo there? and bouldy xD

#

is it the pet?

clear oracle
#

Yeah

#

Bouldy is Sisyphus' companion.

#

Sisyphus gives you Bouldy once you complete his quest.

fresh willow
#

he just land on the field randomly?

#

when he wants to spawn he does?

clear oracle
#

You can command when and where Bouldy lands

#

You have 5 charges per run

fresh willow
#

awww cool

clear oracle
#

You can only use it once per room

#

Yeah np!

fresh willow
#

is it any good 31 min to end a run?

split kelp
#

For the beginning that's perfectly fine.

graceful chasm
#

is it possible to enter Hades' chamber yet?

That is one of the portraits in the West Hall. It got a lot more detailed in the Beta, and I am pondering why.

open tiger
#

Not sure, I'll check next time I get on

upbeat willow
#

No technical beta talk outside of that channel

#

Ty

open berry
#

its the same portrait as before, just zoomed in. does speculation of the portrait need to be in beta?

upbeat willow
#

All tech beta talk goes there, no exceptions

crimson temple
#

Sorry, I meant to write that in the other channel...

modern stone
#

why do ppl keep calling orpheus a he?

#

I'm so confused

clear oracle
#

Because Orpheus is a male?

bleak osprey
#

because he's a man....

modern stone
clear oracle
#

Don't let his hairstyle and feminine posture fool you

modern stone
#

i swear he looks and sounds like a chick

clear oracle
#

So does Hypnos tbh

bleak osprey
#

it's the voice; even before he had a portrait, we've had people getting confused

modern stone
#

nah hypnos sounds like a dude

#

hmm
well then guess orpheus is a dude

#

who knew

clear oracle
#

So yeah, problem solved lol

crimson temple
#

It is always amazing just how high Darren Korb's voice can go.

open berry
#

hypnos sounds feminine? thats news to me, he always had twink vibes

modern stone
#

personally think they should add some changes to make orpheus more masculine or at least more androgynous if that's they vibe they want

clear oracle
#

His hairstyle and flippy attitude

open berry
#

curly hair isnt inherently feminine... and his classical depictions always had him with some style of curled hair too

modern stone
#

yeah hypnos scream male, don't see how u can see otherwise

clear oracle
#

Personal association. Don't mind me then o.O

open tiger
#

Can confirm, I got hella curly hair

modern stone
#

he is a male right?

#

inb4 he is a female dead

clear oracle
#

Hypnos is male yeah

modern stone
#

kk, wanted to make sure i wasn't getting hoodwinked again

#

thxs

crimson temple
#

Perhaps it is an issue of language, but doesn't the Codex make the sexes of characters pretty clear?

open berry
#

yeah hypnos and thanatos are twins. well meant to be anyway

#

the brothers sleep and death who, in classical depictions, were rarely depicted apart from one another

modern stone
#

I literally have never opened the codex

#

well that's a lie I have opened it
but that's as far as I have gone with it

open berry
#

theres sick lore

modern stone
#

oh I know

#

I want to stock up on the lore

#

then read a bunch at once

crimson temple
#

Getting that book completed will be quite the difficult achievement.

#

Which I will definitely be going for when the game gets achievements.

#

I can already see it coming: It will take ages to catch enough Chaos fish.

molten temple
#

that 2% fishing spot chance in Chaos kills me every time

crimson temple
#

Never saw a single one of them, not even during the run where you get Huge Catch (or whatever Poseidon's fishing boon was called) for free.

open berry
#

chaos fishing points dont exist ๐Ÿ˜ญ

split kelp
#

I got two of them, but missed the first one. Heard the ping the instant I left his crib.

bleak osprey
#

pssst, chaos uses they/them

#

but dang, two??? i haven't even seen one fishing spot in there shadepensive

split kelp
#

Pretty quickly one after the other.

frozen jolt
#

the same happened to me, but i was too early on the first fish.... they were kind enough to give me a legendary on the other tho

bleak osprey
#

i'm cursed to forever be bad at fishing in video games unfortunately

split kelp
#

I got a rare one on the second attempt.

#

It requires a bit of luck I've found but it can be done fairly reliable.

frozen jolt
#

i am good at fishing, i was just tired when i saw the first one, but ive yet to get huge catch again after many attempts

#

you just have to figure out the patterns of the bobber

split kelp
#

Yup. The catch either comes immediately, or within ~1 second of the bobber going down.

open berry
#

i cheat and use the controller vibrations for fishing hahahah

split kelp
#

If it hasn't happened by the third bob it's guaranteed to be the next one.

fervent skiff
#

Fishing is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier with a controller

KBM gang yo.

I just have my controller on the side lol

#

Its only use is fishing

clear oracle
#

Bruh it's literally hitting a single button

open berry
#

i have to use kbm with rail since its my least enjoyable weapon with controller, but even kbm runs i have my controller in my lap just for fishing

crimson temple
#

I actually use both hands for fishing on the keyboard to improve reaction time. Right middle finger on the button, left palm on right knuckles.

fervent skiff
#

Lol I can imagine how that looks

haughty carbon
#

fishing should definitely get better the next update for people who want to fish. squirtyay

fervent skiff
#

I mean it seems pretty balanced

#

I just wish I didn't just get hellfish all the time

#

5 gemstones is peanuts

crimson temple
#

A perfect catch excludes the lowest tier of fish, so always try to aim for that

Best of luck though!

Out of curiosity, what was Part 1?

I had only common artemis on attack (i had arthur aspect) and i kept getting HORRIBLE boins throughout the run

Noone is bashing Hypnos, don't worry.

I just got a boon called a huge catch. Should I play this run. It gives 20% fishing spawn chance. All I literally do currently is enter a run the instantly die and go back and read dialogue options

Well there are fishes entries to be filled in the codex

heheh, i check the wiki a lot so i know what they look like, but i also donโ€™t care too much about spoiling myself

โ€œask me anythingโ€

#

iโ€™ve only actually caught the legendary chaos fish

hollow mortar
#

I think spoiling yourself with Chaos' fishes is acceptable because you might never bump into them. For example, after 400 runs, I have yet to bump into 2 of the 3 available fishes. I only know how they look and what they are called thanks to the wiki shadesmile

open berry
#

oh no i know what they look like, but i fear at this rate zagreus may never see one

#

i still think theres a difference between ensuring something is a reasonably rare encounter and making something so rare that you can literally put in a hundred hours just trying to find one

i've seen a chaos fish once, but don't remember how it looked like or how it was called

Totally random and only side-related to the game, but Stephen Fry's "Mythos" and "Heroes" books/audiobooks are pretty great. They actually add backstory to... well... pretty much all of the characters in Hades.

well they might add more stuff to it?

I'd prefer more lives ๐Ÿ˜…

they didnt when the mirror got reworked

theres stubborn defiance that basically lets you die in every room though

sly tulip

But there are going to come more bosses, right?

open berry
#

i wouldnt set your hopes for anything major

sly tulip
#

So... you think the full release of the game is basically just a cutscene??

open berry
#

who knows? all thats confirmed is there wont be any additional areas, just chambers added to already existing ones

#

no one knows how the ending is gonna be

sly tulip
#

Well... it kinda sucks how they've made the current ending, I think ๐Ÿ˜•
It makes it sound like there'll be a lot more ๐Ÿคท

open berry

the story has only ever been about zag's escape from the underworld, thats the focus of his struggle

sly tulip
#

Well, yeah... but there could be other obstacles, before he met his mother? (I'm assuming the game is gonna end with him meeting her)

open berry

if you mean like an entirely new section of game thats him going through an area to find his mom, i dont see that happening

whatever the ending is is probably in its final stages by this point. just gotta wait for 1.0~

#

i dont know what you're asking

#

level?

sly tulip
#

The bow upgrade, when you shoot an enemy with basic attack, it gets marked

#

I'm curious of how high it can be upgraded. And how hard it is

open berry
#

all weapon aspects go to lv5

#

i cant check the aspect itself, im in the middle of a run.

sly tulip
#

Mine shoots 5 shots, when I have a target, the next upgrade will cost 4... At the current difficulty, I think it's soon to get hard, I guess ๐Ÿค”

#

Ohh, okay. Sorry

#

And just lvl 5?

open berry
sly tulip
#

That... seems rather disappointing

I was hoping to upgrade it so it would shoot out 20 arrows XD

how do you even hold 20 arrows in your hand

Not my problem. 11 shots seems to be doable, so should 20

How does one unlock the Nyx quest? I have talked to Achilles enough time to trigger him talking about Nyx and Chaos a couple of times.

Battie is disabled for 1st boss fight, EM or not.

it makes sense, but what if using battie against meg would just make her reconsider a moment, a seudo stun like "fine i will give you a chance for all times sake"

how do you summon yourself against yourself. if you try using mort during a than encounter sometimes he'll say "only one of me, zag"

Do you have access to the Administrative Chamber?

After that you need to talk to both Chaos and Nyx enough times I think.

Yup, at least I think. I have talked to Achilles enough time to trigger him talking about Nyx and Chaos a couple of times. I also have the Admin room, and have talked to both Nyx and Chaos until their hearts are one away from the locked heart, I can't give anymore nectors and they don't have anymore unique convo pieces, and Nyx never has an exclamation point above her head anymore.

#

Only thing I can think of is I gotta meet Thanatos more and maybe she has more info on him?

north cloak
#

This may not be that helpful, but if you get stuck on a quest, and you're doing everything you can think of, you can start working towards something else, and then the quest you want will unlock. Not that satisfying, but, y'know

#

Like you could work towards more mirror upgrades or something while you play the game and wait for nyx's quest to proc

modern stone

That's fair, gotcha
I am working towards Orpheus' quest at the moment

cause I gave up on Nyx

If you find out what it was

Meeting Thanatos sounds promising though because he's one of Nyx's too - maybe he says something about her that you need to hear

After Meg taunts you that you couldn't kill her without mirror and you do it, shouldn't there be related dialog?

clear oracle

There should. But I can't fault the game for not covering every possible interactions. That being said, the devs frequent these channels so one can hope!

open berry

she does have dialogue in the boss room and back at home for it but if you didnt get it, some other dialogue may have taken priority.

yay, i got artemis' prophecy wrapped up. finally got fully loaded

Artemis is so good. And tricky to get that one. Pretty sure I've only gotten it once

rerolled a Demeter boon from an Elite Styx wing and luckily got Artemis, then managed a Yarn before getting it. With her keepsake in hand too managed to get the legendary. Barely scrounged up all the pre-reqs in Asphodel/Elysium.

Fully Loaded is complicated. True Shot > Dual Shot + Exit Wounds > Fully Loaded.

I still haven't gotten winter's harvestshadeembarassed

molten temple
#

most other gods have a much easier t1 > t2 > t3 progression

plain palm
#

other than poseidon i only have dionysus left, weirdly...

mystic mortar
#

what boon(s) are you missing?

molten temple
#

nice. dio is easy cuz you only need two t1 boons technically. one of them has to be the cast mind.

mystic mortar
#

trippy shot + a hangover boon

#

ez

molten temple
#

mhm

plain palm
#

i think i might actually be missing high tolerance of all things
but i'm not sure and i can't check it rn

#

'cause i do remember the effect of his legendary

#

yeah it definitely is high tolerance, i don't like trippy shot much so this explains it

ornate siren
#

trippy shot is dio cast right?

#

dio cast is weird

mystic mortar
#

i don't like trippy shot much
๐Ÿ‡ ๐Ÿ˜ก

#

it's like a better rail special

ornate siren
#

because generally the runs i would like it i don't want any other dio boons

mystic mortar
#

you want dio duo boons with it

#

ice win + scintillating feast

split kelp
#
  • cold fusion while you're at it.
ornate siren
#

ye but i don't usually want to take dio at all

#

and i run room rerolls rn

molten temple
#

hera bow + dio cast

ornate siren
#

that always feels like a weird synergy

#

i should start using infernal soul more tbh

#

stygian is good but some aspects want infernal

plain palm
#

wow i should try hera+dio cast

mystic mortar
#

once you get ice win you really just wish you didn't have hera bow tho

plain palm
#

the most embarrassing prophecy for me is the one where i haven't escaped with the bow on my 80+ runs with god mode occasionaly enabled

ornate siren
#

you can do it!

plain palm
#

i'm not in it for the difficulty nor am i a good player so i've only just got 4 heat with shield, but the bow
this thing scares me

split kelp
#

Chiron aspect with Poseidon special and trying to go for Sea Storm should carry you through fairly comfortably.

plain palm
#

oh thanks! sounds good, yeah

light sparrow
#

HOLY BALLS. I heard Orpheus sing for the first time. Darren Korb! If you read this, my lord are you even human? So moving! And beautiful. Geez, good game

mystic mortar
#

the most embarrassing prophecy for me is the one where i haven't escaped with the bow on my 80+ runs with god mode occasionaly enabled
going for dash-strike boons on zag aspect or with arti attack is a huge deal
and if you can get twin shot that's instant x2 dps

plain palm
#

i absolutely love how the narrative part of the boons ties into the gameplay
like, artemis is great for bow, as you'd expect her to be
poseidon boons are especially useful in asphodel for pushing your enemies into the lava (so water vs fire basically)
athena boons are really great in elysium where you gotta block/deflect a lot to survive, and athena, i think, should be tied to a noble place with great warriors more than anyone
idk maybe i'm overthinking things and this all is just my personal experience but i love it

#

i now realise that this looks like a solid feedback message but it's not about beta so i guess this is the best place to post it anyway

ember goblet
#

ik this is really wild theory. but what if the final boss is the player...since what keeping zagerus in the game is the player Iyourself)

#

thats probably not where the game is going probably

#

buit its fun to think about

mystic mortar
#

it's definitely just the storyteller murking him

plain palm
#

well the player is kinda tricked by the game into keeping zag in hell, like nobody wants this cycle to finish, and you might even purposely die to a certain enemy just to unlock a certain conversation

ember goblet
#

well i was thinking about it because even hades himself

#

says he cant get out

#

i would also be satisfied if we fought the fates

#

like that kinda would link things together too

#

why i say that l, it becasuse it could make sense to force zagerus away some how by making the fates do something

plain palm
#

well we know that no more bosses will be added, just one more variation, but the fates still may come up in the story

ember goblet
#

i think it would be cool to sorta idk

#

fight a mirror

#

i have no idea how that would work but thats what i toyed the idea

#

in my head

plain palm
#

i'm actually really curious about how the story will explain apollo and hephaestus not helping zag

#

i mean i get why it would be too much gameplay-wise, but there should also be story explanation, right?

mystic mortar
#

Hephaestus is busy

plain palm
#

about that war ares mentions?

mystic mortar
#

probably not, honestly

#

all I know is that the beautiful words of Lady Aphrodite herself said that he was always busy
or maybe just inattentive

plain palm
#

well now that i think about it hephaestus is really the only olympian which might be busy

#

also hermes but his job involves death and travelling so

mystic mortar
#

hermes always has time, no matter how busy he is
he's just that dang fast

plain palm
#

hera is also mentioned in the sense that she won't help, but apollo

#

is he even mentioned by anyone, actually?

mystic mortar
#

Once, iirc

#

arti talking trash

plain palm
#

i mean apollo is hella important

#

what if he made all this zag thing happen just so the olympians can enjoy the show, he's the god of arts after all

#

ok i'm clearly overthinking

mystic mortar
#
  • Dem smothered the earth in wintry clouds
  • arti is a better archer
  • only the powers of darkness can heal zag
    Apollo's three most important jobs are irrelevant ingame
plain palm
#

yeah but the arts!

ember goblet
#

he could make 1 apperance but for some reason

#

like isnt moving the sun more

#

improtant

#

than giving the widsom of art

#

...

plain palm
#

the sun isn't moving it's just the full moon

#

apollo is just chillin' on the other side

ember goblet
#

i thought he might be the god of light

plain palm
#

actually i didn't think of apollo in the sense that he's a god of light and zag is related to the darkness... it is an intresting point to view from

#

every time i think of anything still not fully revealed in the narrative i think too damn much

ember goblet
#

i think maybe he coudl make 1 appearance

#

we zag reaches the sufrace

#

it good think thing about since there is so many unanswered quesitons

plain palm
#

like what's the deal with these satyrs

#

where is heracles

ember goblet
#

one thing too like you make a lot of choices for zag ...and make him fill the list

plain palm
#

who is the red shade

ember goblet
#

so you could be a fate XD

#

like over thinking is good

plain palm
#

also narrator

ember goblet
#

i would like to know here heracles is too

#

but it could be a future thing

#

like idk he could be the gloves

#

...

#

or whatever you call them

plain palm
#

narrator looks and sounds like homer but we don't have the answer yet so who knows

upbeat willow
#

the red shade is the best shade :3

plain palm
#

true

#

i kinda want to see their emojis

#

like all the same shade emojis but red

#

also when i first saw the red shade i thought there will be more of them each time you defeat theseus

ember goblet
#

yeah me too

#

XD

misty merlin
#

Narrator sounds nothing like homer simpson??

ember goblet
#

lol i agree XD

ornate siren
#

I can't tell if you're being serious or not winemerchant

fresh willow
#

hey guys what is the dark thirst of weapons?

upbeat willow
#

dark thirst gives you +20% darkness

fresh willow
#

where do I get it?

upbeat willow
fresh willow
#

is it?

#

aw sorry

upbeat willow
#

sometimes it's hard to tell/remember no worries ^_^

fresh willow
#

I didnt play early access that much

#

ok i'll switch to that channel

plain palm
#

wait what happened to dark thirst omg

#

don't tell but i'm worried now

split kelp
#

Nothing bad.

#

Something changed but not for the negative.

thorny surge
#

You can always switch to beta if you wanna check it out

plain palm
#

yeah i checked
it's just the only way for me to choose a weapon for a run ๐Ÿ˜…

#

beta crashes for me, haven't been fixed yet unfortunately

thorny surge
#

Well that sucks

plain palm
#

i don't have much time to play rn anyway

#

so it's fine but i'm curious af

thorny surge
#

I have way too much time wanna trade

plain palm
#

not until the beta is fixed for me shadesmile

#

do you have any tips on how to farm nectar quickly? I realized i'm soooo behind with all the relationships

junior field
#

go for nectar rooms, take all the treasure troves you can (they have a chance to drop a nectar), Dionysus has a boon that drops 1 nectar

plain palm
#

i feel like dio's keepsake pretty much guarantees you that 1 nectar boon

cloud geode
#

... yeah, it's the only one i don't have ahah

junior field
#

I assume you already have the upgrade that makes nectars level up one of your boons

cloud geode
#

nope, wanna save diamonds before using the pact to farm more

junior field
#

check your mirror, make sure you're not using the talent that reduces the chance of regular rooms

#

and keep an eye on broker's deals

ornate siren
#

Imo the most important thing you can do with diamonds is getting those meta resource upgrades

cloud geode
#

i still have to unlock the last two talents
yeah, i realized i took things very slowly, maybe because i started with the nn update and not before so i'm a bit late

junior field
#

no rush

#

you're gonna be swimming in nectars eventually

ornate siren
#

Yeah I have enough nectars I'm starting to just throw them at gods lol

cloud geode
#

how about the chtonic key=one reroll? So i can farm keys for nectar from the broker and the mirror and reroll chambers for nectar and boons

plain palm
#

fishing in elysium also helps a little bit with nectar, so maybe poseidon's keepsake in tartarus could also help? idk, just a theory

cloud geode
#

i realized i have to max relationships with chaos and nyx for their favor
And got an alternate line from patroclus that only triggers if you are below seven hearts with him, i wanted the other

#

yeah, but huge catch- WAIT i have huge catch in this run, i left to sleep yesterday

plain palm
#

but what were you going to say? i have no idea how huge catch works, i've only got it once in a scripted poseidon encounter

cloud geode
#

it's a legendary so it's a bit difficult to find with poseidon's keepsake

#

maybe

#

idk

plain palm
#

well the keepsake is certainly helping a lil bit

upbeat willow

#

oh dang missed an apollo talk but just wanted to point out one of apollo's other important roles was god of plague and medicine

#

he's one of those fascinating gods who covers so many different aspects and had so many different cults asking different things of him

#

though dionysus covers the traditional poison effect with hangover so

modern stone
#

If you find out what it was
Definitely let us know!
@north cloak I had to talk to dusa more till she got fired it seemed. That's what triggered more lines for me

#

finally got it

plain palm
#

oh right can't believe i forgot about the most exciting part of apollo

north cloak
#

@modern stone Nice!!! That is really interesting

#

In my game, Dusa got fired waaay after Nyx and Chaos made up

#

Good morning everyone!

#

Or night, or whatever it is down here

fresh willow
#

Zeus lightning rod duo boon seems weak but is really powerfull xD if you already have the legendary is absurd, just got Tes with that xD hilarious he was standing there casting his second phase and the Emolites sitting next to him ahahah

graceful quail
#

the asphodel experience: "ok lets see my options, euridice or" goes right for euridice

bold niche
#

how can one not

graceful quail
#

all of her options are so good

#

you have few boons? upgrade, you have lots? poms, you have none, nectar

fair blaze
#

I never go poms

split kelp
#

On Euridyce or in general?

fair blaze
#

Eurydice

#

Tho I often pass up poms for other things normally too

north cloak
#

Me too

#

But I've learned they can be good

split kelp
#

It can be worth it if you're stumbling in there with like 9 different boons already. The odds of her hitting something you care about upgrading rarity are low.

fair blaze
#

Poms are good, you just get offered more than you need per run

#

Poms donโ€™t scale well, so you only REALLY care about the first one or two on a boon

oblique ferry
#

Nah, Eurydice poms are great

fair blaze
#

And the number of boons you need pomโ€™d per run isnโ€™t that many either

oblique ferry
#

And sheโ€™s a great chance to put those first one on boons and pick better stuff later

split kelp
#

Poms in general are good. Have to admit I tend to prioritize health probably a bit too much and should more often take a pom instead but you don't really need all that many. Like 3 or 4 on your main source of damage and then on a few auxiliaries will generally be plenty.
