He only uses the non-story dialogue
The one you get when youre through all the events
unlocked every needle things yet?
have u tried fighting him with the fists in the mini battle
he will trigger the "fighting me barehanded" dialogue
then after a few runs, he got a dream iirc
Needle?
Needle?
@amber canyon guan yu and any fist aspect?
met him in mini boss room?
does people realize the greece fishes can spawn in the place u fought hades
with the fists?
No, but I was told that that wasnt a requirement
theres a certain line that i got before getting the last aspect
so maybe u can try it out?\
@outer thicket hi :3
magnetic fist is fun imo
Hello
I dislike fists generally
Hey, the new character added, is the new character supposed to be Persephone? Because I met her but nothing new show up in my Codex
You have to reach the true end
persephone entry is available when u got the credits
Ok, thanks!
Yeah you gotta keep going, I haven't made it yet either
asterius
@thorny helm did you finish the actual ending? Or just made it to persephone?
he wil talk about having a dream
The Minotaur, I think it might only happen in the miniboss fight with him and not the boss fight with Theseus but I'm not sure
yes, in mini battle
I don't even remember lol I just unlocked the fists
I prob wouldve encountered that eventually
beowulf I was stuck because I never talk to chaos lmao
i think theres a new line u will have to get first when u fight him in mini battle with fists, but im not sure
you shouldnt need to have the weapon equipped
just talk to them
thats how it works with the others
no specifically he said, fighting him barehanded, then the second time about the dream he talks about the weapon on my hands
For the secret aspect of the fists, I had Asterius in his Extreme Measures ver and I got it with another weap
yes the second one is another wepon
Though I already triggered the bare handed dialogue in a earlier run
same here
I just beat him in my last run with fists and he didnt say anything so... idk
(Demeter aspect then I think I did a run with the Hades aspect and got it iirc)
question: I've heard it said that zagreus is polyam (like most greek gods, honestly), and so can fill the romance bar on thanatos and megaera with no consequences, but will there be consequences if i romance dusa also?
then fight him again i guess
I just heard you can have the cthonics together but idk if that includes her
not really a romance bar
you can’t romance dusa
ah okay
the bow and arrow thingy made me think otherwise
u do romance mag
LOL, I was thinking this game was very into representation, when they were like "persephone had no idea I was born" and stuff. I was like "bruh they a trans couple"
but nah, stillborn
which doesn't come out til 2 interactions later lol
? whos a trans couple
yeah uh who
u literally got whip sounds with mag near the bed kek, totally not romance @wind sage
The way they very first phrased how persephone didn't know zag was alive: "she didn't know I was born"
it’s not like you have caenis in here or something
and I was like "well crap, how is that possible?"
until later when they clarified that she knew he was born, just not that he survived
ur mind is weird dude lol
🤷
so whos trans here? Im confused
I didn't seriously think
My first assumption was “oh he was already dead LOL”
i mena we are not supposed to born in the first place
Well, yeah
I think as far as representation goes they are being faithful to the mythology and legends
Most eggs die out before ever being fertilized
but follow my logic here (which doesn't stand up once it becomes more clear, I'm just trying to say why I thought that for a second): Persephone is Zag's mom. They say "she didn't know he was born" (meaning survived), but the way I interpreted it upon first reading was "oh, so persephone was not the one who gave birth to zag." Ergo the other parent did. Obviously not the case, I'm just trying to explain a funny bit of confusion I had for a moment
But then again, Athena springs from Zeus's head, so rules are out the window
I see what you mean now
Uh Male Seahorses :v lul
i wish we can romance artemis lol
at least it’s not anything really weird like loki
I just realized how many separated lovers are in this game
Turning into a female horse
the singers, Achilles and Patroclus, Hades and Persephone
Something something Greek tragedies
Loki is actually an artifact of earlier pre-germanic traditions in scandinavia
That and seiðr
my knowledge of norse mythology is not as strong
Remember Zeus shapeshifted into a bull to help out Europa
And he turned into a bird to impregnate Perseus’s mom while she was in prison iirc
Which were considered "weak and effeminate", probably because the people who were pushed out by the proto-germanics thought of the pre-indo-europeans as such
zeus did a lot of shapeshifting for unsavoury purposes 
Lul
Zeus was a furry
So was loki
And in lokisenna
Actually heck, Loki even glows up Thor
did the olympians get a 3d model?
please keep it clean, guys
havent got the feast yet, so not sure
youre good, haruspex, i deleted the message
blood and darkness
returns with cleaned up patrochilles icons hello 

i dont know how many ive got done so far my hand hurts lol
you know, i had the final boss pretty much handled at this point, but the extra extra measures? good lord did i not expect them to that scary
didnt go through a single death defiance until it got dark
i didnt have much dps at all, got really really bad rolls with the final bow aspect
how does one get the "one for the ages" steam achievement? i already ||got persephone to come back to the house and watched the true end.|| hell, ||i even beat hades on extremer measures||
Oi, why'd my comment get deleted?
please dont refer to stuff as "cancer"
has anyone escaped during the tutorial run? I wanna see that dialogue but i dont wanna sit through 30 minutes of dodging attacks in a single boss fight because my damage is so low
Yeah, there's a video on youtube somewhere. Search the subreddit.
This was pre 1.0, and there was no special dialogue.
anyone?

@candid cove keep playing runs and advancing the dialogue with ||Persephone and Hades||. There's a lot more story.
i asked a while ago, and apparently just beat it a ton of times, dunno if thats true or not tho
Eventually you'll get a quest to ||individually encounter every god and give them an invite to party in Hades.|| I assume what you're looking for happens at some point after that.
@candid cove keep playing runs and advancing the dialogue with ||Persephone and Hades||. There's a lot more story.
thanks. so ||max out their convos and give em nectars?||
No, that doesn't seem to be necessary. When you have the quest the dialogue completes automatically. It's in the fated prophecy list.
Though, completing that might be a prereqisite, so keep doing that anyways if you don't already have everyone maxed.
so that means just keep on playing then.
Hello friends I am back. Friendly reminder to check my guide for common FAQ endgame questions. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2232655399
@candid cove I can't tell you the exact requirements as of right now, but to get to Epilogue (post-credits), just keep running 🙂
thanks guys.
Hello friends I am back. Friendly reminder to check my guide for common FAQ endgame questions. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2232655399
this should pretty much be a pinned post. it's so useful lmao
I wrote it up after lurking in the channel after beating the Epilogue and trying to help people's common questions that I saw
then I just said "lemme put it all in one place" so now that guide exists
@jolly radish ok got a question ||can you get the fish from greece after it becomes unreachable || ?
i was also gonna ask about the great c/old one's hearts and it's there lmao
@lost jungle ||yes, the Surface (fight with Hades) has a fishing spawn point occasionally, and you can get Greece fish from there. Unsure whether I can reach the Cottage again--if so, I assume you can get fish in those zones too. I'm working on post-Epilogue stuff now :)||
ok thx
oh yeah, i never saw those again, granted i'm only in my fifth run after the ending
rng is tough
||it's a low spawn for fishing point in Hades room, but the Fish there are super worth (even though out of the 6 fish I've caught, 5 have been Bass >.>)||
i'll add that point to the guide though @lost jungle in the section about the River Denizens achievement
or maybe a separate question
👍
Is there any story progression after ||you've returned mother home?||
do you mind spoiler tagging that? @crystal wigeon
@crystal wigeon read actius' guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2232655399
Do I need to be using the fists while talking to asterius to unlock the new hidden aspect?
no
So why didnt I get the dialogue?
It's not guaranteed. You might be in another dialogue chain or you might not have the prerequisites complete. It took me ~5 tries to get it.
I'm somewhat enjoying the fact that, aside from the obvious unlock that last room in the House and the other cosmetics for around the House, the game has not allowed me to do a lot of bounty hunting, so I'm playing a regular run again and my goodness, I forgot that normal runs doesn't have 3 waves filled with 20 or so wretches spawning in a small room. I did, at least, learn of the new attack for the Elysium boss and Theseus getting a buff that, I guess, is a new attack in itself. :3
What are these new Elysium attacks?
I think he's talking about everyone's favorite EM3 Minotaur attack
Still not sure what you're referring to. Did they add something new? I haven't noticed a difference in the fights.
It's not new, it's the ||super long super big whirlwind spinning attack||
That isn't the new attack that was mentioned in patch notes. Theseus and Asterius have a new tag team move where Asterius would charge up to Theseus and hit his shield to create a shockwave similar to Dad's
Asterius' beyblade mode was always there on EM 3 
wait i have never seen that move
Huh. I haven't noticed that one yet and I've done at least 30 EM3+ runs in 1.0. Do they just do it any time during the fight?
I kill Theseus first a good chunk of the time.
Yeah he doesn't do it if Theseus doesn't have his shield up 😅
Its more off he cant do it
Ah, that's why. Pretty much never happens in the EM3 fight.
huh okay kuz i always focus down Minotaur, the bombs are annoying and the random chariot spam is annoying but the whirlwind attack that chunks you has gotta go
That's fair 
You start to kill them both at the same time after getting to a certain point
So if you have the right weapon and/or hermes boons it's really easy to just follow Theseus and burst him down quickly with backstabs.
Cause it is very possible to kill both under 5 seconds
Much harder to do on Forced Overtime, of course.
I meant the following Theseus thing.
what is ||em4|| i keep seeing it in the victory channel?
@iron nest ||4th level affects Hades. Gives him a 3rd phase and stronger summons.||
what is just normal ||em|| then? I'm new to the game lol
When you unlock the pact of punishment there's a pact called Extreme Measures. It makes the boss fights different/harder.
oh that. i've only used it on the first boss so far, but its really fun
The Pacts have several abbreviations by the high-heat community since its hard to name them fully. Firespirit made a nice table for them in #h1-high-heat-strategies .
https://discordapp.com/channels/456889434672201729/725021448426749993/727076528286072863
is there another new keepsake other than the pom? the achievement for collecting all keepsakes didn't show up after i got the pom
Yes it's from ||Hades. Do more runs and he'll open up for more nectar eventually.||
i see, thanks!
and yes, before you ask, you can use it in the final fight
Hi, don't know if spoiler or not, but are meg and Than quest compatible, or if I choose meg I deny Than?
all characters are storyline compatible with one another!
Cool, thanks
i personally like that you're given an option regarding that stuff, and that each combination of choices likely has its unique dialogues
When I launched the 1.0 version of Hades I noticed that my Aspect of Lucifer was no longer unlocked, did that happen to anyone else?
How do I unlock EM4?
Scroll up and check the guide, Jesse.
TLDR: keep winning runs and it'll show up in the house contractor.
Gotcha, I’ve won quite a few but maybe it doesn’t count runs before 1.0
Nope, there's a lot of new stuff. It'll take 30+ runs to get through it.
Assuming you were already done with most of the pre 1.0 stuff.
whew
just beat EM4 first try
Shield is OP
kinda expected the ||third phase|| but that fight was still really cool
did they make the secret boss ||charon|| easier? the pillars dont get destroyed and i feel like the line of projectiles is less frequent
||Hades Call! how interesting||
about the || charon fight || maybe? I did find it easier to dodge the projectiles than I thought
how old/new are Theseus and Asterius' combo moves?
bull horn has been around since they were first introduced
delta strike was added this update
I think my game's bugged bc I'm not getting the convo for the aspect of lucifer even after idk 30 attempts.
do you have blood in everything you need to?
is the blood 5 into one aspect, of 5 blood just generally invested in one weapon distributed however you like? im struggling to get beowulf
5 wherever i thinl
sometimes i find spending one more makes the game realize the requirements met
Pretty sure you need to invest blood into the weapon to get its 4th aspect.
yeah
I just dumped 5 into each of the base aspects
5 in that weapon wherever
I believe it has to specifically be 5 on upgrades
Nyx just suggested I try to deactivate the mirror. Is there a story reason to do it ? (I'm just doubting the devs would require you to win a run with 0 upgrades)
Are you doing that quest with chaos to activate some kind of device?
Already done
What was the context for the prompt? If there isn't a fated prophecy then I don't believe it's actually a quest.
It was just a bit of dialog with nyx. no prophecy. It just caught my eye because I sort of guess the mirror might be the source of one Zagreus problems
Where are you in the storyline, Basil?
Is Version 1.35966 the latest version?
what's the spoiler tag ?
|| on both sides
Is Version 1.35966 the latest version?
||Persephone|| told me to stop trying to see her. I'm doing low heat runs to get through the rest of the dialog (I don't always clear near 20 heat runs)
Yeah, so the mirror doesn't have anything to do with that. It's an interesting idea though.
Thanks, I'll keep at it then
Question about a favor: ||do I need to do something in particular to unlock Persephone's heart? I have unlocked Demeter and now the queen is the only one left, but I don't know if I only need to do more runs or if I missed something||
The answer is pretty much always doing more runs. If you scroll up a bit Actius has a guide, though.
If the answer is just more runs, then more run it is! Thank you 
I was worried I missed some particular conditions
I'm mostly doing low heat runs lately because the game practically locked out me collecting bounties, regardless how much heat I put in, which is fair.
I wish there was a keepsake that made you not take damage from standing in the lava in the second area
You can use the broken spearpoint to help mitigate that somewhat.
Probably better to just be more careful with your movement though.
I'm really good at dashing into the lava by accident while fighting stuff
do you have blood in everything you need to?
@lost gorge I maxed out all other rails
I'm really good at dashing into the lava by accident while fighting stuff
@halcyon raptor Same lmao
@stark raven I'm currently working on it. Not sure how far you are post-Epilogue, but ||I've already had Persephone leave, then come back, and she just left again. Heart still locked. Codex Entry says to talk to her like 4 more times though...wondering if it's just talk-gated.||
I'm really good at dashing into the lava by accident while fighting stuff
@halcyon raptor
lmao, that's bane of my soul while trying to get butterfly stacks
@stark raven I'm currently working on it. Not sure how far you are post-Epilogue, but ||I've already had Persephone leave, then come back, and she just left again. Heart still locked. Codex Entry says to talk to her like 4 more times though...wondering if it's just talk-gated.||
@jolly radish ||I just had her telling me that she has to leave every once in a while, so she'll probably be away once I finish this run
Let me know if it's just talk related!||
Yep, will be updating guide + this channel if I do make progress on it!
Aye, good luck on it 
@full girder lol. That’s rng for you. It took me 15 ish runs when I tried to get Beowulf, Rama, and Lucifer to even begin
is there some other requirement to get that convo? does it need to be in a run where i'm using another aspect of the rail?
lmao i finished the game 13 times and NOW i get the entry for bloodstones
So is ||This game gonna throw me a post post post post game sequence trying to figure a route up to Grandma Demeter? I gotta say this is absolutely 200% my jam, the game keeps going and developing characters far and beyond the "game's end" and I love it.
Also, screw Alecto. I totally get why she's not allowed in the house. I'll probably redact this statement when I find out the Olympians did something to her or her siblings at some point but still.||
Also funny thing I realized, do all the Cthonic Gods have American accents, but all the Olympians have British ones? Hades and Persephone are Olympians technically, same as Zagreus, but Megara, Alecto, Tisiphone, Thanatos, Hypnos and Nyx all have American accents, heck even Skelly sailed in from the Bronx. I wonder if this was an intentional thing?
||AHAHAHAHAH christ man, Is Hades really responding to every single shade who wished them well on the new Queen? That's some dedication to the job.||
at what heat level does the game stop giving rewards?
20
20 for normal, 25? for hell mode
Quick question, I'm looking at my achievements and I'm seeing that I don't have the one for having nor maxing all keepsakes, is || Persephone's || the last one added? or is there another one not shown?
or is this a bug on my end
There's another one from ||Hades||
Not gonna click just to be safe, but knowing that its not a bug is more than enough, thanks!
I was so excited, I thought I finally escaped and then Hades busts out his second phase
I was at 2 hp and was out of defies, get him all the way down and let out this massive sigh of relief
honestly the funniest thing has been the whole ||cannot survive long on the surface|| thing because that was literally a headcanon a friend and i had and used in an ares/thanatos fic, so i was tickled that it was actually a thing
OOF I know that feeling
I was at 2 hp and was out of defies, get him all the way down and let out this massive sigh of relief
@crystal willow I think I stared at the screen for a couple of minutes while he sent me back to the pool
does anyone know what the name of the song that plays when you ||finally meet persophone?||
i know on the coast plays before it but i cant find the song that ||while you're talking to her||
|| Using Hades's trinket on himself is so fun, he's just like WHAT?, BOY!||
does bouldy have a page in the codex? i gave him some nectar and it gave me a heart, so i'm led to believe he does, but i couldn't find it
nope hes just infinitely giftable for a lil bonus
oh cool
it took 2 10 hour sessions but i finally got the ending and epilogue.
what type of cosmetic is the ||decorative theme || referring to?
i see a final keepsake and i can't think of who it is unless it's somehow ||persophone|| and i just need to keep playing?
You get them as you play more
🤔
What the hell
Did aspect of zag on fist get nerfed
Why is it only dodge chance now
Wasn’t there attack speed
Oops wrong channel
Sorry
zagreus level 1, talos level 2 or 3, and demeter max (and guan yu unlocked) should be enough to trigger the new fist aspect right
just wanna make sure im not missing anything bc im having some tough luck getting it
I had to put the sunrise as my desktop background. Just wow. So pretty.
Me, with no Death Defiances, being refused any well of Chaon, just with Skelly Tooth, yet still confident with whatever I can do with...whatever previously-low damaging loadout I have for the final boss.
“...Go then.”
hEhjdgGjGgHfYgHGHGH-
good work
|| will dusa hate me if i take the ambrosia back? || question about a relationship thing
THIS IS THE WORST UPDATE EVER
||Max Chamber is now 72 instead of 69||
@elder forum nope
kind of weird that they didn't take the ||endgame cosmetic badge thing|| as an opportunity to have completely optional high heat bounties
like have the meaningful rewards stop at 20, and all 21+ heat bounties just give a currency that's only used for that
this is entirely my opinion here. ||I think it would feel bad to have an entire reward system that's locked behind high heat which the majority of players won't experience for whatever reason||
and adding another currency on top would feel out of place where all the other current currencies make sense as to why they're there
tbh greg's remark about high difficulty achievements i feel can also apply to why they didnt add in any system specific to high difficulty https://discordapp.com/channels/456889434672201729/477164376496013323/746421343612043365
or expand beyond the 20 heat bounties
I dont know why but the post final boss content gives me really strong Kingdom Hearts vibes
idk if its the music or what but for some reason it just makes me think of KH
||just did extreme measures 4||
||My hands are shaking||
||That third phase on Hades was nuts.||
spoiler tags please @grim herald
That ||heal makes him a bit of a DPS check. I wish there was a way to choose to do the fight kind of like Slay the Spire's Heart||
pardon, I thought I was fine because it was the spoiler chat.
I should have asked earlier, but please spoiler tag that @scenic plover
new content, not everyone has seen it yet
it's common courtesy
ty ^_^
just so we are all on the same page here, how long are we enforcing stricter spoiler tags in spoilers channel for new content
^
a week seems fair imo
👍
i agree 0:
Has anyone found out if there's any special dialogue for beating the entire game on your very first run?
There wasn't anything before 1.0. I haven't seen anything recent.
Anything beyond maxing out mom and dad's hearts that I'd possibly not think of doing to unlock Demeter's final heart?
Question. Is there anything special I have to do to ||change the Hydra's name?|| I heard this was a thing.
Nope, just gotta ||go through the fight enough times||
anyone knows how to unlock the last piece of court music?
I have met with Asterius like 5 times since the patch and he has yet to tell me how to get the fists
maybe he's exhausting his Extreme Measures dialogues first?
IDK, but I'm getting peeved
Possibly. It took me ~5 tries too :\
Same, I've talked to him tons but nothing yet
Told me about the fists first try since the patch, I think
First or second.
You guys have the other prerequisites, right?
I beat hades 1st run
Woooooo
Y'know, after having done the fight, I kind of want an Aspect of ||Charon|| for the Spear. ;P
does anybody know/have boon rarity odds offhand?
I beat hades 1st run
@atomic forge do it again, but this time:
~record or stream it
~put the video on youtube (make sure you include starting the new save file, and the victory screen)
~submit to the https://www.speedrun.com/hades#Fresh_File Fresh File Leaderboard
then, bask in the praise and appreciation of the hades community
@mystic mortar oh sorry i meant i beat hades for the 1st time not on a new save
MAN
oops
capslock was on
anyway i wish bloom wasnt so much when you step into the last area
What's the||highest level of heat before you stop getting new bounties||
||20/25 for Normal/Hell Mode||
has anyone unlocked either of the two "systems for the lategame" that were mentioned in the Covid video?
has anyone unlocked either of the two "systems for the lategame" that were mentioned in the Covid video?
@fallow nova me
||title and speed/heat run||
Can someone tell me what are all the keepsakes after ||Pom Blossom and to whom I need to talk with to unlock?||
the last keepsake is from ||hades||
Huh, did I see it correctly that the Fist hidden aspect and it's special effect work with Curse of Longing?
||The Gilgamesh aspect is giving me some serious Dynasty Warriors 4 Meng Huo vibes & I love it||
what curse of longing again?
Ares x Aphro. Doom ticks continuously.
oh
And I think the special effect got reapplied automatically as well.
so its just innate doom
It works kinda like Doom and I suspect the game counts it as a seperate Doom instance.
Wouldn't surprise me if it's a modified Doom in the code
thats sounds nice, does tge damage vulnerability from weak will stack with the mark too?
Couldn't tell if the ticks actually did less damage over time because of the chaos on the screen, but I think it automatically reapplied without me having to use the Special at all.
I think it stacks with the mark, didn't have it in that last run though.
Man even without it having that consistently tick would still ravage most mooks
I got the new hammer this time, that damage vulnerability is nuts.
havent got ir yet, dash upper is too hard for me to pull iff so i just use magnetic
Yeah I got it in the first room of my first run with it. I've had what is probably the most stupid grin on my face this entire run
Dash upper is annoying to pull off but for most fights you don't really need to apply it more than once.
In boss fights, yeah, but outside of that a single instance was enough to utterly ruin whatever happened to be unfortunate enough to get tapped by it.
Also goes super well with actually having Ares on the Special.
I don't even normally use dash-upper but the damage on it is great (so long as you don't get hit by your target) and the normal attacks are still pretty fun to use (especially if you're like me & got Athena on them.) It seems to be pretty forgiving on its timing so that helps
i put ares on atk so i can stack it
Without the Hermes boon I don't think it'll attack fast enough to make that worth doing with this aspect
yea the fist is like arthur
funny enough, the dash atk of the hidden aspect is 1/3 of the heavy combo
||Well hey, now to see if Explosive Upper applies Maim||
Survey says: this aspect makes me actually want to use dash-upper now
I think it does. Had it last round and if I remember correctly there was a few instances where the ||Maim|| got AoE-applied.
hmm wonder if its worth putting artemis atk on the fist
Does anyone have screenshots of what the post game || vanity items || look like and how many different ones there are ?
its not on yt yet?
Not that i can see
Wait a sec. If ||Maim works like Doom,|| then how would the Athena duo boon work...?
when do i unlock trades for blood?
wait does fist hidden aspect somehow gave me more dashes
yes
So how do i unlock the epilogue ?
just do more runs or do i need a to run with maxed Extreme Measures?
How do we unlock the final aspect of the fist
Play with the fists, meet with the ||Bull of Minos||
Aight
That's weird, I had Coronacht with me when I got it
Yea just need to keep fighting bull miniboss until it unlocks
do you have to have fists equipped?
No
ok cool ty
u need to use the fist with asterius until the fight me barehanded dialogue appears, after that u can use whatever wep
ok thatll be why i havent seen it lmao
Does anyone have any concrete info on how to unlock Guan Yu aspect? Can't find anything from googling
oh oh i can answer that
check the pin for the first few requirements
- there's one more requirement as of this update where you must have talked to him enough times already
I've been playing for about 120 hours now, over 100 wins, and I've yet to get Ares Bloodlust prophecy, or the Chaos/Nyx prophecy. Anything I'm missing for these?
for the chaos/nyx prophecy, have you gifted nectar to than, hypnos, and nyx
aye, a long, long time ago
all of them
i'm virtually 100% done with the game, just those 2 questlines never want to advance
and i suppose you talk to chaos a lot
certainly do
atm i'm still going through dialouge with them for the 1.0 content, so i'm not in a huge rush
more concerned about the Ares one
ok i'm gonna look for the ares one then
to be fair this one was weird too bc it took a long while for me to get the prophecy but i eventually got it
i'm assuming it'll be retroactive when i get it?
i think so but i'm not entirely sure
has ares made any comments about you killing lots of enemies
like do you remember
if he has, it was a long, long time ago, he hasn't had any fresh dialouge for me for a long long time
ok i finally got the fist aspect and the dialogue suggests you have to be using fists at the time
since he says 'tell the weapons you wear on you hands'
@wet walrus unlock 5 diff aspects then keep talking to achilles
@little widget Okay I've gifted Achilles as much as I can and I've unlocked all the spear and sword aspects plus two of the bow ones and still nothing. I've also beat hades twice since I've done all that
Hello guys i'm played Hades for a while, about 70 runs and several Escaped as well, but still can't have "the conversation" with Achilles to unlock the hidden aspect of the Spear ( i already have all the available weapon aspect ) , please anyone can help me how can i have that 😦
have you unlocked any other aspect on the other weapons? i might be mistaken but i think you need to unlock 3 non hidden aspects/spend 5-6 blood i think
Just got the ending ||with the credits, going back down the styx and the various level on the boat. The music is sooooo good!||
@topaz nimbus I've spent at least 10 blood with 7 aspects unlocked and I've gifted Achilles to the max and still haven't unlocked the dialogue about it
@tropic bison @lunar kiln for reference ares has dialogue for making 100 kills, 1000 kills and 10000 kills. the 10k one is what finishes the prophecy. after 1k is when you should eventually have some dialogue pop up about ares being frank with his own intentions, which activates the prophecy
he has one for 2k kills too which is the one that starts the prophecy
(i was being vague on purpose but fine lol)
this is supposed to be the order but it may still be a bit wonky since it broke previously
OH well, I find that quest has trouble starting for whatever reason
yeah
ni ni Tatz
RNG money bag spawn in midshops, wait you have a bag and can't interact?
They gave ||Persephone a mullet.||
Spoiler tags for new character please @scenic comet
Ah, sorry!
Ty ^_^
Then explain short hair in the front + long ponytail in back.
Mullet don't care if it's tied or not though?
Yeah, it took me a second too, because I suspect part of it is like
||The front is a visual tell, definitely confirming that Zagreus and Persephone are related because similar parts + how it fails and so on, and then the motherly side-plait.||
About the ending, I just realized that ||every ending in early access after you beat Hades makes so much sense now. After all this time, you'd think he just died because the ending doesn't exist yet.||
Man that classic SSG progression of “oh man how pretty and great music” to happy to oh god I’m not crying you are when getting to the end the first time since full release, gg
But yes, while it's perfect art direction, it's still hysterical.
||I’d had a sinking feeling that there was in fact no escape, really enjoy how it’s been handled||
Also ||hypnos rooting for me to take down that nasty ol’ Natural Causes next time made me d’awww||
Hypnos can seem snarky and annoying with his "advice" in the beginning, but over the course of my time with the game he's really grown on me.
Exactly.
Ya he ultimately is genuine he’s just a goof of the highest caliber
My initial annoyance was mostly because I was upset at myself for dying in a good run and then he made his comments and I was like “oh shush”
So not really his fault lol
I bought him the finest ||bed|| around
Hypnos needs to get his beauty sleep
Ya I love that lol
||I also love his advice to Than to just have all the mortals die at once so that he has more time to hang out with his brother, such a sweetie pie if a bit uh... off lol||
such a sentiment coming from unassuming sleep would tickle ares, ares hypnos friendship arc
also hypnos won't let me go back to sleep, alas
He’s probably just a bit behind, but he’s getting to it! Right after this nap
Ares thinking about dating a primordial deity that is millenias older than him still baffles me
“Age is just an uncountable number” - Greek deities
game: trying to make me care about ares being thirsty for nyx
me: puts in considerable amount of time pondering over ares dating one of the twins and how that would work
needless to say that's given me more enjoyment and humorous ideas lul
The twins?
thanatos and hypnos are referred in some text as twins
The only thing that pisses me off about Hypnos is that I probably exhausted all his dialogues. I need more
I want to cry every time he says "Glad you died so I could talk to you again!"
Im like
Please let me hug you
what does it mean when Chaos and Nyx say that I need the elder seal?
I'm still.... disappointed with his development and still feel like he gets treated differently in the house than everyone else but eh
^ same
@dapper socket do you have access to the administrative chamber? It's the big red circle in that room.
Dialogue between Nyx and Hypnos: || https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/754994129645076521/757260322917580860/20200919005627_1.jpg ||
This makes me so sad
yeah I didn't really get the resolution I wanted but tbh I wasn't really expecting much lol at least it got addressed at all
even with the updated content he still feels disconnected and zag's remarks to him isn't convincing that they've truly crossed over into being friends but that's what I get for getting attached to a minor character
Honestly Tatz I feel you
it's just weird man
zag's in everyone else's business but keeps hypnos at arms length
@tired pier okay I'm in the admin now and in the red pool but nothing seems to be happening
Have you gotten the contractor job that requires over 8k darkness
I mean, Zag just wants Hypnos to get his beauty rest
I just want hypnos to have friends in the house that don't talk about him like he's a pest 
Yeah, you don't have to go there physically, though you get a voiceline before and after upgrading it, I think.
wait were hypnos and meg actually together or did hypnos mistakenly make it up
Must've been a nightmare he had
||I'm not sure, but Meg definitely addresses it later herself also. The trouble is that I don't know if she's being sarcastic.||
^ ||I had Zag ask Meg something about "how it ended up with Hypnos" but I'm confused too||
Yeah, same dialogue I was referring to.
I was like

There's an eeeearly line when you return to see meg speaking with hypnos and she goes, wait, hypnos, are you asking me out, and hypnos backpedals and insists he'd never do that
yeah i saw that and since the update it's been brought up again
like before you can romance meg there's some dialogue with meg and hypnos that you overhear
there's never any specific mentions, just some implications. later on there's more convo between them on the topic of the fights between meg and zag that I can't recall the specifics of atm, but it ends with meg wanting hypnos to greet her again when she comes up the pool
also after you get those, if you reach the fury chamber on low health and meg is there, you have a chance to see a convo where meg makes a remark that results in zag saying that hypnos rubbed off on her
Ayyy, I've got the autograph from the big guy
what does being a ||warden|| do?
|| Zag: oh it's just a tiny vermin. ||
||Me seeing a boss hp bar appear: oh gods save me ||
@dapper socket ||Gives you a fancy badge next to your health bar Well, for some notion of fancy.||
I can not for the life of me figure out how to get the extreme meassure rank 4 - ive beaten || hades || thrice now since 1.0, once with EM 3 enabled, yet I still cant purchase anything from the house contractor. Ive purchased everything in "work orders" - how do I unlock the new EM4?
you have to beat him a bunch of times until ||persephone returns to the underworld||
someone else mentioned he just had to beat him twice - thanks, ill keep at it then
well what I said is not 100%, just what happened to me
but the general rule of hades is keep playing till the thing happens
Can I get a hint towards the new keepsake? I've beaten ||Hades and met Persephone|| about five times since 1.0, should I just continue doing that or is there something else I should be looking for
keep doing it
Figured as much, all I need to hear
Is anyone know is that a possible to get family portrait from the end as a pic besides like making a screenshot? Absolutely love it~
No idea, maybe someone who knows how to navigate the game files could help you out!
I can dm when I turn on my pc
Friendly reminder that a bunch of answers to endgame FAQ commonly seen here can be found in my guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2232655399
Can anyone here tell me what || Demeter's || favor is and how to complete it?
!?
There. Sorry
did you try checking the guide literally posted right above you to see if that is a common FAQ?
wiki doesn't get updated if no one is updating it lol
Okay, it's answered in that FAQ.. Good info.
Also, Actius, you could have just said to check that FAQ..
I didnt know there is a 2nd new keepsake, weird that you can only see one free space 🤔 However I just completed the Well Stocked achievement for first, I didnt experience any bug
Has anyone compiled a list of Warden ranks and the resources that are required for them?
Is it 24 ranks just like the Greek alphabet?
finished the game and also did you know who on the extreme meassures and wow
what a fight
I’m very late in the game and I don’t have hypnos bond forged yet. I helped him with ||an autograph from asterius|| already anything else I need to be doing for the bond?
I’m very late in the game and I don’t have hypnos bond forged yet. I helped him with ||an autograph from asterius|| already anything else I need to be doing for the bond?
@manic yoke ||Talk to Thanatos and Hypnos any chance you have, it will unlock after a bunch of interactions between the two of them||
yeah, there's a lot of those chats
How do I get motivated to fight hade again
I already beat him twice and I want Excalibur already
@atomic forge No. It goes like Alpha, Gamma, Unseen, then changes to a new title, like warden, agent, etc. starting over at Alpha. It'd be nice if these were displayed somewhere.
I haven't managed to get the bow Aspect, and I have all the requirements according to the pins. Does it just take a few conversations with ||Artemis||?
I'm currently an Unseen Something (agent, I think) which cost 5000 darkness and 1 blood. My next rank is 4000 darkness and 10 keys.
you arent guaranteed to get aspect dialogue right away if there is other dialogue queued up. so long as you meet requirements it will pop up eventually
Ah okay, thank you
The aspect dialogue can be a real pain sometimes, specially when it relies on rng to even encounter the right character
if anything you can just chase down dialogue and suicide after each one and try and speed up the process. dont hit give up since it negates the run
True, true. I might do that after this run if I don't get it.
some people will get it immediately and others take more runs to find it, it just happens unfortunately
The fist one is really giving me trouble, cause I still have a bunch of dialogue with asterius that I haven’t gone through
Yeah it took me a while to get the fists phrase, but don't give up, you'll get it soon


What?
Idk Im just coping Tatz, don't mind me
Just kidding, Tatz lol 

LISTEN It's this server's fault that everytime I see a "think" emote my brain shows me the Than think emote
I blame you all
Or whoever created that beautiful emote
FDHSGFHAFAH
I have another question. Is there a point to these emoji-type things I've unlocked in the game? Or are they just meant to be cute little faces in the trinket menu?
I think they're just available in the trinket menu
Just shows that you've forged a bond.
They're very cute indeed
its just to show ur love for ur friends 
I do like them bunches
I hope SuperGiant makes a sticker or pin or charm pack with those
I love keychains and I'd totally buy some of these
Oh my god I love the new "low hp" dialogue
im sad theres no tiny asterius or theseus. fair since they dont get keepsakes but 
DLC with their keepsakes pls
Oh my god I love the new "low hp" dialogue
@ebon rose What does he say? I'm too scared to remove God Mode
a lot of characters have comments when they encounter you on low hp
the bosses and olympians all do
I love how Chaos is all like "You better appreciate the time you have left, because you're looking kind of messed up bro"
HECK really?
How much is "low" hp
Asking for a friends that is gonna test it with Thanatos
when your hp is flashing is when youre considered low
Nice
ares praises you, he gets all excited youre battered and barely standing and finds it fascinating
speaking about low hp, did you know that you get a variation of a death screen if you die to a Chaos Curse? (e.g. "every time you attack you take -4 hp") i just learned this while speedrunning a few deaths in tartarus to progress story lol
when your hp is flashing is when youre considered low
@open berry Btw do I need to lose DD or am I alright with my first life being low?

@jolly radish It happened to me only once but yeah that's a cool thing!
N i c e
I might try that Tomorrow
I already had my share of Than meetings for today
Also recorded the "Guh-Dong"
So now I can watch it every time Im sad
ah ha i knew i saw the bot spit one out recently https://twitter.com/vengefulwar/status/1307309483719155712
You seem to be upon the verge of death, my friend. I cannot wait to hear of it! The experience of death, time after time! You are one of a kind!
zag: [dying]
ares: exciting!
luv that guy
Hey when does the job for for the admin chamber for the house contractor pop up? 🤔
i do have a tendency to do tedious data collecting things for stuff i really enjoy like spreadsheets and bots that no one else would consider doing, yes
Has anyone gotten the "Pride of Olympus" run clear message? What's that one for?
i do have a tendency to do tedious data collecting things for stuff i really enjoy like spreadsheets and bots that no one else would consider doing, yes
@open berry It's a very honourable thing. Please tell me you also made the Hypnos and Thanatos ones that I'm gonna follow in a second
yes
only ares got updated after blood price though because i was... distracted. so those dont have any content post nighty night yet
also considered theseus once upon a time because of course i did
only ares got updated after blood price though because i was... distracted. so those dont have any content post nighty night yet
@open berry "Distracted" by Ares himself
But no worries, there's plently of lines already
Oh god Im suffering
"You left, without so much as telling me goodbye."

I can't help but imagine how happy he must feel ||now that Zag is permanently staying||
https://gyazo.com/a55904a7c8c8a0f4ccdd3dc9b48a0624 i think im hilarious
yes?
Why am I not surprised to see Thantos account followings
:)
What’s the very last tab in the codex? I can’t think of anything I haven’t discovered, yet the entire tab is “undiscovered”
If I remember correctly it's ||Legendary Keepsakes|| ?
I'm not in game rn but it should be that
It's the Fables, yeah.
What are the prerequisites for being able to pick a fight with charon? Anything beyond filling all his hearts?
What are the prerequisites for being able to pick a fight with charon? Anything beyond filling all his hearts?
@split ether you dont even have to fill his hearts. just take the money that is behind him
borrow from him in a mid-biome shop
make sure you buy what you want from the shop beforehand, you wont be back
~20-25% spawn chance per non-pre-boss Charon Shop i think
aka you can't find it in the pre-boss Charon shop
Hey when does the job for for the admin chamber for the house contractor pop up? 🤔
@bright epoch does anyone know?
@bright epoch I believe this is just storyline-related, it appears as an upgrade after a flashback memory cutscene.
aka keep doing runs and eventually it'll pop up
Huge HP sink.
@bright epoch I believe this is just storyline-related, it appears as an upgrade after a flashback memory cutscene.
@jolly radish thanks Actius!
np
btw when I say "upgrade" i mean "purchaseable under Work Order from House Contractor"
Quick question about a convo regarding Dusa, when she || offers to give back the ambrosia || is there any repurcussions either way?
No
I think the game also tells you that there will be no repercussions either way, it's mostly just a "what would my Zagreus do in this situation?" choice for you!
Makes sense, the minmax in me was debating the moral option vs getting those resources back 
Same, but I chose to get them back because I'm poor
I let her keep it, haven't really missed them thus far.
Might regret it with the new Resource Contractor but the legendary keepsakes are all maxed out, so there's that.
I'm so sad lol (BIG BIG SPOILERS AHEAD) || I got the best build i ever had on the run where Hades just don't fight you. 3 duos, 1 legendary, all for Ares cast and i wasn't able to try it
||
I was happy because the anvil screwed up my build 🤣
I had a godtier build with L----- Aspect, and was really wondering how things were going to turn out, only for that to happen lol
Just try and take revenge later with ||EM4 once you unlock it >:D||
After my first post-credits run, I got one of the “zagreus suddenly dies” endings with the narrator like from pre-1.0. Is that what’s supposed to happen?
yes
yes
A lot of Early-Access players were asking to have those fun narrative bits still stored somewhere within the game as we didnt want 1.0 players to miss out on Zag dying to a banana peel in canon, and this is how Supergiant managed to both include them, and keep lore consistent
I'm very happy they kept those
Is Dionysus special disabled with Rama or do I just have extraordinarily bad luck?
Really bad luck
@fervent skiff Lo and behold it shows up right after I get the Poseidon/Zeus duo on special for the Nth time. I always end up with that combo or Zeus Special + Legendary when I start with Dionysus' keepsake somehow 🙃
Did we discover the actual condition for starting the "Epilogue" once you beat the game? Is it just do a bunch more runs?
Yeah, we'll see. I keep getting cast or call as the first boon. Those are great too, but it's a little annoying when you want to try a build out and the game refuses you.
"That is, I unlocked the Epilogue by myself, and later acquired information as to the exact requirements for unlocking the Epilogue, but am not allowed to share for now, sorry!"
....what?
Lmao does it say that?
maybe the info is from the devs and they told him not to spread it for a certain period
That's crazy frustrating. If they can't share it they should just lie and say they don't know. They have forbidden knowledge!
Question. Which keepsake am I missing in this list? Putting up image as a spoiler so people don't have the list spoiled if they don't want it spoiled.
oh, I can't link it, derp
uhhh no, by the way that is worded, im going to hazard a guess that exact requirements means datamined and we cant discuss that here + they want people to discover the ending naturally first
It's between the Cosmic Egg and Lambent Plume.
you'd have to ask mods
Ehat exactly do I need to fo to unlock Extremes Measures 4? If they way to enable it contains a major Spoiler then pls don't tell me tho
Question. Which keepsake am I missing in this list? Putting up image as a spoiler so people don't have the list spoiled if they don't want it spoiled.
@south turret Been asking myself about this as well 🤔
@celest vale Win more runs and it'll show up in the House contractor.
I see, thanks
@south turret ||Demeter||
@oak furnace What is the very last keepsake at the bottom row to the right?
@lime heart I was requested not to share the exact specific requirements for a few days, sorry! It's really just a "well, assuming you've got a pretty good fleshed-out save file, it shouldn't take more than a dozen or so runs post-credits to get the Epilogue".
To be clear, I didn't have the requirements known before getting it myself
I just caught a ||sturgeon on the surface with a perfect catch.||
I'm actually pretty sure I figured it out.
Basically, just keep doing the standard answer stuff to most questions. Keep doing runs, keep gifting nectar/ambrosia and advancing storylines with characters, and a bit of RNG too for dialogues.
It's not a very straightforward list of requirements to easily guess, FYI. You can probably figure out a portion of them but not all of them, especially since you might have completed some of the requirements already. Assuming my info is correct 🙂
I think I have the complete list to start it.
Feel free to PM me with what you think it is (assuming you don't have any external info) and we can compare.
First time posting here, but I do think I am a bit confused. It pertains to Exagryph ||I've done the blood investment requirements, and I've talked to Zeus time and time again, but he hasn't unlocked The Aspect of Lucifer. Am I doing something wrong?||
Do you have the hidden aspect for Varatha?
@bright epoch ||Persephone and Hades||
@thin flame ahh thanks a lot!
Also, does anyone know how to get the ||decorative themes||
Yes, I have unlocked Varatha's hidden aspect
give me a sec
In that case I don't know for certain. Just keep zeus's keepsake on and keep trying, it took me a while as well
have you talked to zeus with the rail once
I have received a few boons with Exagryph equipped, but no ominous talking about unlocking an aspect.
but did he mention you having the rail at any point
@flat oyster which ||decorative themes||, the ||UI change|| or the ||health bar change||?
Both, I haven't gotten either
Nope, nothing referencing the rail
ok then keep talking to zeus with the rail equipped
^
once he mentions you having it equipped you will unlock the hidden aspect later
Alright! Was a little worried I had done something wrong so I wanted to check haha
did they change that? when i unlocked the aspects i was using fists for all of them and got the phrases without needing rail or shield equipped
it's a new requirement as of this update
@flat oyster the ||UI change comes from beating the game (post-credits), House Contractor will have stuff for you to purchase as end-game resource sinks||. The ||health bar change comes from meeting a shade-y fellow that Hades introduces you to. Requires beating the game (post-credits) and then talking to Hades a few times||

So just keep grinding
Cool cool, does it need to be the base form of the rail? Or does any aspect equipped work?
Any aspect should work
Awesome, thank you!
(And of course the moment I ask about this, my next Zeus interaction is the one I need...)
Complaining works! Maybe that's what Zagreus is the god of 
I can see it.
That's my headcanon now. There's even some in-game dialogue that supports it.
glad i can live up to my username
I’m kinda stuck on forging a bond with hypnos I think I’ve done everything I need but it still hasn’t forged for me yet?
I finally got the last achievement
Having same issue as @manic yoke here. I've been resetting (dying at the beginning of the run) and completing run for several times and have yet to progress on Hypnos favor. Would love to know the fix...
I think for hypnos i had to talk to thanatos on sevral different runs
you need to ||find thanatos||
Yea so I've talked to ||Thanatos several times already and I even got the cutscene where Hades actually compliments Hypnos for improved work performance.|| Maybe I missed something..?
Also I will mention that I was also doing ||Thanatos romance option when I was in the middle of Hypnos favor||
Well are people referring to ||hypnos work effort|| plotline? Because I got to a point where hypnos talks to hades. Maybe there’s ONE MORE conversation with zag and hypnos and then it opens up?
@manic yoke , I'm literally right there with ya haha
I’m about to pop open giftdata.lua and start figuring out if I’m missing something lol
Favors usually unlock after a 1-on-1 talk
Please let me know if you find the solution >< ||Hypnos and Demeter are the only two I'm missing for full bond|| 😦
hypnos' heart unlock requires a lot of conversations between him and thanatos
||Does anyone think there might have been more planned for the epilogue? Seems kind of short, just one still of hades and Zeus shaking hands||
Did Guan Yu always reduce healing? I could've sworn it only reduced max life and max life gain before.
||Kind of thought there would be more party scenes||
yes @thin flame
@little vapor, there's still more story after that.
Oh wait really?
I guess I got confused because ||the achievement says “see the epilogue”||
So I thought that was it
Nope there's lots of conversations and stuff still.
There's post-epilogue stuff
(I'm working on it myself)
notably though ||you're still missing one bond...||
||Idk I still think they should have given us more scenes from the party tho||
i agree but 🤷
||Well actually I’m missing two bonds lol||
||Speaking of which, anyone know how to max Demeter? Been sitting at second to last heart for a while||
same
||I finally unlocked winter harvest so I have gotten all her boons if that’s the answer||
@little vapor ||what's the other bond you're missing?||
||Persephone, but p sure I know how to do that one||
There's some story with ||Demeter and Persephone still,|| @little vapor. I assume doing more runs and hearing those dialogue chains will be part of it.
Same thanks Dem and Pers are the only ones I have left too
Lol so apparently ||Nyx and Ares|| have a thing for each other. They'd make an interesting couple.
its one sided
Nah, I've had dialogue from both sides.
yeah when I saw ares say that it was pretty funny
You've seen the one where ||Nyx explicitly says she's interested?||
ive seen the whole dialogue chain. it never came off to me as nyx being interested in a romantic relation. it came off more being interested that an olympian (who have been established as generally looking down on chthonic gods) is in turn interested in bridging bonds between them. even than says ||hes happy nyx is being recognized for her work||
I'm still shipping it 🤷♂️
i never said you couldnt lmao
i just dont interpret it as a reciprocated thing
i mostly find the interaction interesting because ares himself is looked down on by the other olympians (not so much as in myth but you will see instances in where his family picks on his mannerisms) so for him to reach out to fellow misunderstood gods was a nice touch to me
||Ain’t Ares and Aphrodite supposed to be a thing?|| I don’t remember if they ever reference that in this game, maybe not in this version?
its not referenced from what i saw. in their duos aphrodite is flirty but aphrodite is also just. flirty in general so it could mean something just as much as it could also mean nothing
Hmm so maybe they aren’t a couple in this interpretation of the mythos
they definitely retain aphrodite being more sympathetic to him compared to the rest of the family
aphrodite makes one (1) mention towards having a husband but never namedrops, and its never referenced again
so it could be hephaestus but who knows
Speaking of the mythos, ||I love how they incorporate the pomegranate seed stuff into the story||
Thought that was genius
if anything ares is.... ||very interested in nyx||
i dont disagree
though it's probably just pure admiration rather than anything else
that is a lot of how i took it. he comes off strong but ares is very earnest and upfront with what hes thinking
Honestly that whole thing is fun because of how uncomfortable zag seems about it
what the hell
Heavy “leave my mom alone” vibes
i feel like this is where i die
zag: why dont you have a problem with this
zag: [takes a moment to absorb a thought]
zag: wait why do i have a problem with it
@marsh chasm you've hit the fun part!
Meg lead isn't all that scary tbh. Depends on your weapon though, I guess.
@lost jungle ||They didn't as far as I can remember. Zagreus is tasked with 'keeping up appearances', Olympians still act like they don't know anything, and I think Hades is still kinda wary of Olympians finding out||
@marsh chasm try EM 3 next
||nah there was a discussion with persephone after were she said they pretty much know whats up but opt to ignore it for the sake of rebuilding their family connection ||
Lol
@lost jungle given what @rigid hearth is saying I don't think he beat the Epilogue yet
i did
and for me it seemed that everything that happened is an underworld secret
I divert my eyes from the screen for a couple of minutes and come back to see Tatz being thirsty for Ares again
ye but sometimes people are confused as to what the Epilogue is and what the end of the game is, etc.
when am i not thirsty for ares, i have grown additional appendages and am holding hands with 4 different ones
I saw ||the boatride||
i ship ares/than lol
^
I saw ||the boatride||
@rigid hearth You reached the end game! But not the epilogue yet
hmmmm mkay okay I didn't know
yep no worries if you want a detailed explanation of "Did I beat the game/am I in the Epilogue", check the pinned posts and view the first few questions in my FAQ guide!
It's a roguelike. Even when you see all the story and unlock everything, you never really "beat" the game.
@lost jungle would spoiler tag that for now imo
@thin flame ain’t that the truth, after 1000 hours in binding of Isaac I know this too well
safe > sorry, mostly kuz there have been questions asking ||how to unlock demeter's last heart||
basically if its new 1.0 stuff, spoiler for now
Smh, this happened even considerinring I had access to closed playtest of the release patch a month ago. This game still has secrets from me
we need a "deeper spoiler channel"
feels weird using spoilers in a spoiler channel xD
yeah it's weird how you need to be spoiler considerate here
just for a week
its only for the week following 1.0 launch
is what i think they've been asking
and then it will ease off
the mods are just trying to ensure people stay considerate and give others a chance to discover content
tbh they should write that down somewere
channel description
or pins
= /
cause the channel description is misleading
^^^^
yeah it should be updated for the time being
which mod do i ping 
@cold canopy heho how about updating the channel description that v1.0 content should be put in spoiler tags =?
its kinda misleading as is right now
That's a good idea! I'll see if we can get it updated. Thanks for letting me know!
👍
can anyone tell me about the Well of Charon item "Touch of Styx", it's the only one left for the prophecy but I can't seem to find it anywhere, is it tied to something like Kiss of Styx that's tied to not having full Death Defiance or a location like the Scroll that prevents flamewheels from appearing in Elysium?
did you swap
to the other death defiance mirror talent ?
because that switches the items as well
I thought about it but didn't make much sense since Stubborn Defiance resets after every encounter... unless it makes it stronger if it triggers in the next x encounters or something, good idea tho I'll try it
I see
for liek 10 encounters
thanks for the info 
👍
touch and kiss of styx only show up depending on which defiance trait you're using, yeah
How do you get to the epilogue?
Check pins
You will. Keep winning.
Specifically you'll get a quest to ||encounter each of the gods and individually invite them to the house for a fest.|| It'll be in the book of prophecies.
You need to win enough ||to reach the credits.|| Then do a few more runs. IDK if those have to be wins, though.
does anyone know how high the resource director's badge rank goes?
They said it's supposed to be a pretty big darkness sink. I'm on like my 12th one. Costed 5000 darkness 1 blood. Next one is 4000 darkness 10 keys. The same naming scheme can go on for a while :\
yeesh, 12th rank?
I'm currently on gamma warden
I doubt I'd get much farther in it then
although not like I have much else to put darkness into right now
Unseen Agent for me. I had like 30k darkness when 1.0 hit with my mirror maxed for the talents I use.
I only had about 2k or something like that before 1.0 launch
My next one looks kind of cool. It's got a different motif than the others. Just got enough to buy it now 😄
although I did get refunded quite a bit due to the rolls price change
who knows, maybe that one is the last rank, lol
New rank I advanced to is Alpha Cleaner. Pic in a sec.
Is there a way to actually change your badge to ones you previously unlocked?
Not that I'm aware of. There doesn't seem to be a display for them either.

That's a shame. I wish there was a way to switch between them like you can for your UI themes
It'll probably come in a future patch. Seems like a perfect fit for the record room or a display case in Zagreus' room.
Did anyone do all prophecy achi and can help me with 1-2 questions?
@scarlet quiver ask away
There's this one called War-God's Bloodlust. ||How do I actually get it? Is it a prophecy in game or just an achi? As far as I understood you need to kill 10k enemies and report back to Ares. I've slain around 43k enemies since I started playing before 1.0 of course. ||
It's a prophecy. Keep playing and he'll have a dialogue about it.
You need to encounter him during a run to start it, ofc.
Is it a new one? I've chatted with Ares a lot. xD
it was added in blood price update
I've done like 30 runs since 1.0 released and I've encountered Ares plenty of times. Do I have to give him random or is it pure RNG? Also do the previous kills count?
I had well over 10k kills when he started the prophecy. All I needed to do was talk to him again to count it as complete
^
That's pretty useful at least. I still don't quite get how I trigger that prophecy considering that 1 in two runs I mostly likely have at least one of his boons. :(
how do you unlock the badge system?
Check pins
Wew Hermes just gave me 30% attack speed with crit attack Arthur in Asphodel. This is gonna be a good run 😄
anybody got like screenshots of the columns from the house contractor. I just want to make it look nice ya know 
Just got to the ending with the credits. Everything was so charming and unexpected but oh so amazing AHHHH
||apparently its not even over after the credits||
Well even better!
||Its just rng to get the Minotaur to say the magic words for the fist aspect correct?||
FYI on extreme measures 4, the demeter legendary only works on the last phase of the boss, similar to the non EM version of it
Assuming you have all of the prerequisites done, yes, @zenith flume
I should if I have unlocked the other aspects
EM4 was nice.
I haven't gotten it either... He's said default one-liners for the last like 4 times I've encountered him
I think ||Asterius will only say the magic words when you fight him BEFORE the actual boss...|| at least, that's when I got it.
yeah I've encountered the ||mini boss version|| like 5 times, that's what I meant :/
what is the requirements anyway? I kinda got it randomly, so I must have done something before update to get it.
Unless I'm misunderstanding stuff
I got ||the dialogue where you ask him about Skelly, then talked to skelly, but after that nothing's happened||
||https://prnt.sc/ukrk2f ||
which one should i buy
I'd get ||chthonic keys|| personally, since it's so useful. But you'll get them all eventually and they're mostly all pretty good
mkay ty
nectar or darkness imo
Really? Those seem the least powerful to me.
I like nectar
most value is nectar
But darkness isn't super useful to me
darkness health increases stack up quickly
nectar is pog especially when you get the dionysus boon
Oh yeah, especially because the one you get from the boon also gets the benefit.

Does anyone know if maxing out hearts with the gods (forging bonds) has any gameplay effect?
@ember nymph For all intents and purposes, forging bonds only gives you chibi renditions of the friend, and a warm fuzzy feeling (no gameplay effect as in, bonus damage/additional items/etc.). But, forging bonds is important and not totally useless...
Something I'm just curious about. When Hades holds court, does he EVER approve a shade's claim?
can somebody help me with understanding game and new content ?
Forging bonds is about as important as buying every renovation for the house. Meaning it is absolutely necessary and should be done at any cost.
@limber rune what in specific?
best ||companion?||
I've seen ||Megaera|| be used in some speed runs, I personally like ||Bouldy, because of the extra resource gain and healing||.
||bouldy|| whos that i dont see his name on wiki @tired pier
@south turret who knows. I defintiely did stand around to listen and most of what I heard was him rejecting or finding the request ridiculous.
got it nvm
Sorry, maybe I should have said ||Sisyphus|| instead.
I'm fairly new to the game (12 hours in and just beat it). I was wondering if the ||true ending|| was something I'd discover just by playing the game, or if it's something I should Google to get an idea on how to do
Just keep playing @torpid ermine
the Epilogue (post credits) might require some research, but you'll naturally come across the true ending if you keep going.
Awesome, ty

Would this be an appropriate place to ask about ||weapon aspect unlocks||?
Check the pinned messages.
check pins for hidden aspects
I've done everything in the pinned message and still cant figure it out...
And yes, this is the right channel. So right in fact that one of the pinned messages already answers those questions.
