No like

#

He only uses the non-story dialogue

#

The one you get when youre through all the events

clever fern
#

unlocked every needle things yet?

prime mulch
#

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

amber canyon
#

Needle?

clever fern
#

Needle?
@amber canyon guan yu and any fist aspect?

amber canyon
#

Got Guan yu, unlocked all fist aspects

#

Got 5 blood in them too

clever fern
#

met him in mini boss room?

prime mulch
#

does people realize the greece fishes can spawn in the place u fought hades

amber canyon
#

Yes

#

Repeatedly

prime mulch
#

with the fists?

amber canyon
#

No, but I was told that that wasnt a requirement

prime mulch
#

theres a certain line that i got before getting the last aspect

#

so maybe u can try it out?\

thorny helm
#

@outer thicket hi :3

amber canyon
#

Hm

#

I was rather hoping to not have to use regular fists again

#

But alas

prime mulch
#

magnetic fist is fun imo

outer thicket
#

Hello

amber canyon
#

I dislike fists generally

ocean fulcrum
#

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

wind sage
#

You have to reach the true end

prime mulch
#

persephone entry is available when u got the credits

ocean fulcrum
#

Ok, thanks!

outer thicket
#

Yeah you gotta keep going, I haven't made it yet either

ocean fulcrum
#

Thought maybe my game was broked

#

Glad it's not broken phew

wind sage
#

can someone tell me who to talk to for the last aspect (fists)

#

its not in the pin

prime mulch
#

asterius

outer thicket
#

@thorny helm did you finish the actual ending? Or just made it to persephone?

prime mulch
#

he wil talk about having a dream

ocean fulcrum
#

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

prime mulch
#

yes, in mini battle

outer thicket
#

I don't even remember lol I just unlocked the fists

wind sage
#

I prob wouldve encountered that eventually

#

beowulf I was stuck because I never talk to chaos lmao

prime mulch
#

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

wind sage
#

you shouldnt need to have the weapon equipped

#

just talk to them

#

thats how it works with the others

prime mulch
#

no specifically he said, fighting him barehanded, then the second time about the dream he talks about the weapon on my hands

opaque lichen
#

For the secret aspect of the fists, I had Asterius in his Extreme Measures ver and I got it with another weap

prime mulch
#

yes the second one is another wepon

opaque lichen
#

Though I already triggered the bare handed dialogue in a earlier run

prime mulch
#

same here

wind sage
#

I just beat him in my last run with fists and he didnt say anything so... idk

opaque lichen
#

(Demeter aspect then I think I did a run with the Hades aspect and got it iirc)

atomic forge
#

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?

prime mulch
#

then fight him again i guess

atomic forge
#

I just heard you can have the cthonics together but idk if that includes her

wind sage
#

not really a romance bar

opaque lichen
#

you can’t romance dusa

atomic forge
#

ah okay

opaque lichen
#

They just remain friends

#

Rip Zag’s harem

atomic forge
#

the bow and arrow thingy made me think otherwise

wind sage
#

unless Im missing something

#

didnt think you could really "romance" anyone

prime mulch
#

u do romance mag

atomic forge
#

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

wind sage
#

? whos a trans couple

opaque lichen
#

yeah uh who

prime mulch
#

u literally got whip sounds with mag near the bed kek, totally not romance @wind sage

atomic forge
#

The way they very first phrased how persephone didn't know zag was alive: "she didn't know I was born"

opaque lichen
#

it’s not like you have caenis in here or something

atomic forge
#

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

opaque lichen
#

ur mind is weird dude lol

atomic forge
#

🤷

wind sage
#

so whos trans here? Im confused

atomic forge
#

I didn't seriously think

opaque lichen
#

My first assumption was “oh he was already dead LOL”

atomic forge
#

and persephone and hades

#

but obviously not

#

the wording just made it weird

wind sage
#

still confused

#

anyway

opaque lichen
#

think haru was just being dumb syb

#

😛

prime mulch
#

i mena we are not supposed to born in the first place

atomic forge
#

Well, yeah

wind sage
#

I think as far as representation goes they are being faithful to the mythology and legends

opaque lichen
#

Most eggs die out before ever being fertilized

atomic forge
#

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

wind sage
#

I see what you mean now

opaque lichen
#

Uh Male Seahorses :v lul

prime mulch
#

i wish we can romance artemis lol

opaque lichen
#

at least it’s not anything really weird like loki

wind sage
#

I just realized how many separated lovers are in this game

opaque lichen
#

Turning into a female horse

wind sage
#

the singers, Achilles and Patroclus, Hades and Persephone

atomic forge
#

Oh, true, they can shapeshift, that makes way more sense

#

As an alterbative

opaque lichen
#

Something something Greek tragedies

atomic forge
#

Loki is actually an artifact of earlier pre-germanic traditions in scandinavia

#

That and seiðr

wind sage
#

my knowledge of norse mythology is not as strong

opaque lichen
#

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

atomic forge
#

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

open berry
#

zeus did a lot of shapeshifting for unsavoury purposes thonk

atomic forge
#

Loki actually gets made fun of for turning into a mare/woman

#

In Thrymskviða

opaque lichen
#

Lul

atomic forge
#

Zeus was a furry

#

So was loki

#

And in lokisenna

#

Actually heck, Loki even glows up Thor

warm sinew
#

did the olympians get a 3d model?

i dont know how many ive got done so far my hand hurts lol

lyric pine
#

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

candid cove
#

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||

thin flame
#

Oi, why'd my comment get deleted?

frozen jolt
#

please dont refer to stuff as "cancer"

olive glacier
#

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

thin flame
#

Yeah, there's a video on youtube somewhere. Search the subreddit.

lyric pine
#

i suppose its possible

#

but i dunno if youd get anything special

thin flame
#

This was pre 1.0, and there was no special dialogue.

candid cove
#

anyone?

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||

thin flame
#

@candid cove keep playing runs and advancing the dialogue with ||Persephone and Hades||. There's a lot more story.

lyric pine
#

i asked a while ago, and apparently just beat it a ton of times, dunno if thats true or not tho

thin flame
#

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
#

@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?||

thin flame
#

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.

candid cove
#

so that means just keep on playing then.

jolly radish
#

@candid cove I can't tell you the exact requirements as of right now, but to get to Epilogue (post-credits), just keep running 🙂

candid cove
#

thanks guys.

jolly radish
#

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

lost jungle
#

@jolly radish ok got a question ||can you get the fish from greece after it becomes unreachable || ?

candid cove
#

i was also gonna ask about the great c/old one's hearts and it's there lmao

jolly radish
#

@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 :)||

lost jungle
#

ok thx

candid cove
#

oh yeah, i never saw those again, granted i'm only in my fifth run after the ending

#

rng is tough

jolly radish
#

||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

lost jungle
#

👍

crystal wigeon
#

Is there any story progression after ||you've returned mother home?||

lost jungle
#

i mean look at your log book

#

and youll see all the locks = D

frozen jolt
#

do you mind spoiler tagging that? @crystal wigeon

rigid pine
#

Do I need to be using the fists while talking to asterius to unlock the new hidden aspect?

thin flame
#

no

rigid pine
#

So why didnt I get the dialogue?

thin flame
#

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.

rigid pine
#

Oh okay

#

I have everything else unlocked, that must be it

supple dagger
#

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

thin flame
#

What are these new Elysium attacks?

jolly radish
#

I think he's talking about everyone's favorite EM3 Minotaur attack

thin flame
#

Still not sure what you're referring to. Did they add something new? I haven't noticed a difference in the fights.

jolly radish
#

It's not new, it's the ||super long super big whirlwind spinning attack||

fervent skiff
#

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 squirtnya

jolly radish
#

wait i have never seen that move

thin flame
#

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?

jolly radish
#

^

#

oh wait

#

its kuz we're on EM3

#

and we probably focus minotaur first

thin flame
#

I kill Theseus first a good chunk of the time.

fervent skiff
#

Yeah he doesn't do it if Theseus doesn't have his shield up 😅

#

Its more off he cant do it

thin flame
#

Ah, that's why. Pretty much never happens in the EM3 fight.

jolly radish
#

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

fervent skiff
#

That's fair squirtyay

#

You start to kill them both at the same time after getting to a certain point

thin flame
#

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.

fervent skiff
#

Cause it is very possible to kill both under 5 seconds

thin flame
#

Much harder to do on Forced Overtime, of course.

fervent skiff
#

Ehh still possible

thin flame
#

I meant the following Theseus thing.

iron nest
#

what is ||em4|| i keep seeing it in the victory channel?

thin flame
#

@iron nest ||4th level affects Hades. Gives him a 3rd phase and stronger summons.||

iron nest
#

what is just normal ||em|| then? I'm new to the game lol

thin flame
#

When you unlock the pact of punishment there's a pact called Extreme Measures. It makes the boss fights different/harder.

iron nest
#

oh that. i've only used it on the first boss so far, but its really fun

fervent skiff
fierce crater
#

is there another new keepsake other than the pom? the achievement for collecting all keepsakes didn't show up after i got the pom

thin flame
#

Yes it's from ||Hades. Do more runs and he'll open up for more nectar eventually.||

fierce crater
#

i see, thanks!

lyric pine
#

and yes, before you ask, you can use it in the final fight

tawdry elm
#

Hi, don't know if spoiler or not, but are meg and Than quest compatible, or if I choose meg I deny Than?

jolly radish
#

all characters are storyline compatible with one another!

tawdry elm
#

Cool, thanks

lyric pine
#

i personally like that you're given an option regarding that stuff, and that each combination of choices likely has its unique dialogues

orchid flax
#

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?

lusty wasp
#

How do I unlock EM4?

thin flame
#

Scroll up and check the guide, Jesse.

#

TLDR: keep winning runs and it'll show up in the house contractor.

lusty wasp
#

Gotcha, I’ve won quite a few but maybe it doesn’t count runs before 1.0

thin flame
#

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.

dire cypress
#

whew

#

just beat EM4 first try

#

Shield is OP

#

kinda expected the ||third phase|| but that fight was still really cool

lilac tusk
#

did they make the secret boss ||charon|| easier? the pillars dont get destroyed and i feel like the line of projectiles is less frequent

tribal fiber
#

||Hades Call! how interesting||

#

about the || charon fight || maybe? I did find it easier to dodge the projectiles than I thought

burnt halo
#

how old/new are Theseus and Asterius' combo moves?

drifting citrus
#

bull horn has been around since they were first introduced

burnt halo
#

huh, wack

#

i'd never gotten the delta strike/bull horn stuff

drifting citrus
#

delta strike was added this update

full girder
#

I think my game's bugged bc I'm not getting the convo for the aspect of lucifer even after idk 30 attempts.

lost gorge
#

do you have blood in everything you need to?

calm onyx
#

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

lost gorge
#

5 wherever i thinl

#

sometimes i find spending one more makes the game realize the requirements met

thin flame
#

Pretty sure you need to invest blood into the weapon to get its 4th aspect.

lost gorge
#

yeah

heavy sluice
#

I just dumped 5 into each of the base aspects

lost gorge
#

5 in that weapon wherever

heavy sluice
#

I believe it has to specifically be 5 on upgrades

keen patrol
#

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)

thin flame
#

Are you doing that quest with chaos to activate some kind of device?

keen patrol
#

Already done

thin flame
#

What was the context for the prompt? If there isn't a fated prophecy then I don't believe it's actually a quest.

keen patrol
#

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

thin flame
#

Where are you in the storyline, Basil?

atomic forge
#

Is Version 1.35966 the latest version?

keen patrol
#

what's the spoiler tag ?

thin flame
#

|| on both sides

atomic forge
#

Is Version 1.35966 the latest version?

keen patrol
#

||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)

thin flame
#

Yeah, so the mirror doesn't have anything to do with that. It's an interesting idea though.

keen patrol
#

Thanks, I'll keep at it then

stark raven
#

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||

thin flame
#

The answer is pretty much always doing more runs. If you scroll up a bit Actius has a guide, though.

stark raven
#

If the answer is just more runs, then more run it is! Thank you shadesmile
I was worried I missed some particular conditions

supple dagger
#

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.

halcyon raptor
#

I wish there was a keepsake that made you not take damage from standing in the lava in the second area

thin flame
#

You can use the broken spearpoint to help mitigate that somewhat.

#

Probably better to just be more careful with your movement though.

#

@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?

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.||

There's another one from ||Hades||

#

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

upbeat willow
#

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

Has anyone found out if there's any special dialogue for beating the entire game on your very first run?

thin flame
#

There wasn't anything before 1.0. I haven't seen anything recent.

shadow dune
#

Anything beyond maxing out mom and dad's hearts that I'd possibly not think of doing to unlock Demeter's final heart?

south turret
#

Question. Is there anything special I have to do to ||change the Hydra's name?|| I heard this was a thing.

feral fox
#

Nope, just gotta ||go through the fight enough times||

anyone knows how to unlock the last piece of court music?

bleak haven
#

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

thin flame
#

Possibly. It took me ~5 tries too :\

feral fox
#

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?

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

atomic forge
#

@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

in that case, do it again, but with a different weapon

#

Can someone tell me what are all the keepsakes after ||Pom Blossom and to whom I need to talk with to unlock?||

prime mulch
#

the last keepsake is from ||hades||

split kelp
#

Huh, did I see it correctly that the Fist hidden aspect and it's special effect work with Curse of Longing?

minor kite
#

||The Gilgamesh aspect is giving me some serious Dynasty Warriors 4 Meng Huo vibes & I love it||

prime mulch
#

what curse of longing again?

split kelp
#

Ares x Aphro. Doom ticks continuously.

prime mulch
#

oh

split kelp
#

And I think the special effect got reapplied automatically as well.

prime mulch
#

so its just innate doom

split kelp
#

It works kinda like Doom and I suspect the game counts it as a seperate Doom instance.

minor kite
#

Wouldn't surprise me if it's a modified Doom in the code

prime mulch
#

thats sounds nice, does tge damage vulnerability from weak will stack with the mark too?

split kelp
#

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.

minor kite
#

Man even without it having that consistently tick would still ravage most mooks

split kelp
#

I got the new hammer this time, that damage vulnerability is nuts.

prime mulch
#

havent got ir yet, dash upper is too hard for me to pull iff so i just use magnetic

minor kite
#

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

split kelp
#

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.

minor kite
#

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

prime mulch
#

i put ares on atk so i can stack it

minor kite
#

Without the Hermes boon I don't think it'll attack fast enough to make that worth doing with this aspect

prime mulch
#

yea the fist is like arthur

#

funny enough, the dash atk of the hidden aspect is 1/3 of the heavy combo

minor kite
#

||Well hey, now to see if Explosive Upper applies Maim||

#

Survey says: this aspect makes me actually want to use dash-upper now

split kelp
#

I think it does. Had it last round and if I remember correctly there was a few instances where the ||Maim|| got AoE-applied.

prime mulch
#

hmm wonder if its worth putting artemis atk on the fist

latent tulip
#

Does anyone have screenshots of what the post game || vanity items || look like and how many different ones there are ?

prime mulch
#

its not on yt yet?

latent tulip
#

Not that i can see

minor kite
#

Wait a sec. If ||Maim works like Doom,|| then how would the Athena duo boon work...?

peak locust
#

when do i unlock trades for blood?

prime mulch
#

wait does fist hidden aspect somehow gave me more dashes

lost jungle
#

yes

ornate shore
#

So how do i unlock the epilogue ?

#

just do more runs or do i need a to run with maxed Extreme Measures?

normal spire
#

How do we unlock the final aspect of the fist

ornate shore
#

Play with the fists, meet with the ||Bull of Minos||

normal spire
#

Aight

minor kite
#

That's weird, I had Coronacht with me when I got it

latent tulip
#

Yea just need to keep fighting bull miniboss until it unlocks

uncut ibex
#

do you have to have fists equipped?

vernal plover
#

No

uncut ibex
#

ok cool ty

prime mulch
#

u need to use the fist with asterius until the fight me barehanded dialogue appears, after that u can use whatever wep

uncut ibex
#

ok thatll be why i havent seen it lmao

wet walrus
#

Does anyone have any concrete info on how to unlock Guan Yu aspect? Can't find anything from googling

lunar kiln
#

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
tropic bison
#

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?

lunar kiln
#

for the chaos/nyx prophecy, have you gifted nectar to than, hypnos, and nyx

tropic bison
#

aye, a long, long time ago

lunar kiln
#

okay and have you spent a decent amount of gems on house decorations

#

like, say, 500

tropic bison
#

all of them

#

i'm virtually 100% done with the game, just those 2 questlines never want to advance

lunar kiln
#

and i suppose you talk to chaos a lot

tropic bison
#

certainly do

lunar kiln
#

well that's weird

#

hang on

tropic bison
#

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

lunar kiln
#

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

tropic bison
#

i'm assuming it'll be retroactive when i get it?

lunar kiln
#

i think so but i'm not entirely sure

#

has ares made any comments about you killing lots of enemies

#

like do you remember

tropic bison
#

if he has, it was a long, long time ago, he hasn't had any fresh dialouge for me for a long long time

lunar kiln
#

maybe it'll pop up eventually

#

if nothing comes up i guess you can always f10

uncut ibex
#

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'

little widget
#

@wet walrus unlock 5 diff aspects then keep talking to achilles

wet walrus
#

@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

stray shuttle
#

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 😦

topaz nimbus
#

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

keen arch
#

Just got the ending ||with the credits, going back down the styx and the various level on the boat. The music is sooooo good!||

wet walrus
#

@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

open berry
#

@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

lunar kiln
#

he has one for 2k kills too which is the one that starts the prophecy

#

(i was being vague on purpose but fine lol)

open berry
#

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

lunar kiln
#

yeah

I was just vaguely skimming chat either way lol I'm going back to sleep

dusty matrix
#

Redacted nonboss doesn't have a mullet?

#

Eh I guess it is a mullet when non-tied?

scenic comet
#

Then explain short hair in the front + long ponytail in back.

#

Mullet don't care if it's tied or not though?

dusty matrix
#

Well, the tied part threw me off

#

but I see it now

scenic comet
#

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.||

low blade
#

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

scenic comet
#

But yes, while it's perfect art direction, it's still hysterical.

low blade
#

||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||

tired pier
#

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.

scenic comet
#

He's well-meaning, he just is very chipper.

#

And a ditz.

tired pier
#

Exactly.

low blade
#

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

dusty matrix
#

I bought him the finest ||bed|| around

upbeat willow
#

Hypnos needs to get his beauty sleep

low blade
#

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||

open berry
#

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

low blade
#

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

low blade
#

“Age is just an uncountable number” - Greek deities

open berry
#

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

dense sparrow
#

The twins?

low blade
#

I’m picturing the girl and guy in bed meme now

#

“I bet he’s thinking about Nyx”

open berry
#

thanatos and hypnos are referred in some text as twins

stark raven
#

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!"

Please let me hug you

@dapper socket do you have access to the administrative chamber? It's the big red circle in that room.

#

Oh it was that thing itmejpKEK

#

thanks dude cohhGG @tired pier

stark raven
#

This makes me so sad

open berry
#

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

stark raven
#

Honestly Tatz I feel you

open berry
#

it's just weird man zagpensive zag's in everyone else's business but keeps hypnos at arms length

dapper socket
#

@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

open berry

I just want hypnos to have friends in the house that don't talk about him like he's a pest zagcry

#

oh not yet

#

thanks again

tired pier
#

Yeah, you don't have to go there physically, though you get a voiceline before and after upgrading it, I think.

gloomy crag
#

wait were hypnos and meg actually together or did hypnos mistakenly make it up

dusty matrix
#

Must've been a nightmare he had

tired pier
#

||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.||

stark raven
#

^ ||I had Zag ask Meg something about "how it ended up with Hypnos" but I'm confused too||

tired pier
#

Yeah, same dialogue I was referring to.

stark raven
#

I was like thanthink thanthink thanthink thanthink thanthink thanthink thanthink

open berry
#

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

stark raven
#

Yeah I remember that

#

But I'm still confused

gloomy crag
#

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

open berry
#

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

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||

prime marten

someone else mentioned he just had to beat him twice - thanks, ill keep at it then

@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.

open berry
#

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

ebon rose
#

Ah okay, thank you

lost gorge
#

The aspect dialogue can be a real pain sometimes, specially when it relies on rng to even encounter the right character

open berry
#

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

ebon rose
#

True, true. I might do that after this run if I don't get it.

open berry

some people will get it immediately and others take more runs to find it, it just happens unfortunately

Hey when does the job for for the admin chamber for the house contractor pop up? 🤔
@bright epoch does anyone know?

split ether
#

I just got it

#

he also proceeded to destroy me holy crap

thin flame
#

lel

#

It's definitely a rough fight if your build isn't together yet.

jolly radish
#

@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

thin flame
#

Huge HP sink.

bright epoch
#

@bright epoch I believe this is just storyline-related, it appears as an upgrade after a flashback memory cutscene.
@jolly radish thanks Actius!

jolly radish
#

np

#

btw when I say "upgrade" i mean "purchaseable under Work Order from House Contractor"

hollow sage
#

Quick question about a convo regarding Dusa, when she || offers to give back the ambrosia || is there any repurcussions either way?

thin flame
#

No

jolly radish
#

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!

hollow sage
#

Makes sense, the minmax in me was debating the moral option vs getting those resources back zaglol

stark raven
#

Same, but I chose to get them back because I'm poor

split kelp
#

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.

grand bluff
#

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 GWsetmyxPeepoSad ||

oak furnace
#

I was happy because the anvil screwed up my build 🤣

hollow sage
#

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

thin flame
#

Just try and take revenge later with ||EM4 once you unlock it >:D||

lusty wasp
#

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?

thin flame
#

yes

hollow sage
#

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

stark raven
#

I'm very happy they kept those

thin flame
#

Is Dionysus special disabled with Rama or do I just have extraordinarily bad luck?

fervent skiff
#

Really bad luck

thin flame
#

@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 🙃

fervent skiff
#

Ooh. That's harsh

#

Hopefully next time?

lime heart
#

Did we discover the actual condition for starting the "Epilogue" once you beat the game? Is it just do a bunch more runs?

thin flame
#

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.

fervent skiff
lime heart
#

"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?

fervent skiff
#

Lmao does it say that?

oak furnace
#

maybe the info is from the devs and they told him not to spread it for a certain period

lime heart
#

That's crazy frustrating. If they can't share it they should just lie and say they don't know. They have forbidden knowledge!

south turret
#

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

open berry
#

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

south turret
#

It's between the Cosmic Egg and Lambent Plume.

open berry
#

you'd have to ask mods

celest vale
#

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

bright epoch
#

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 🤔

thin flame
#

@celest vale Win more runs and it'll show up in the House contractor.

celest vale
#

I see, thanks

oak furnace
#

@south turret ||Demeter||

bright epoch
#

@oak furnace What is the very last keepsake at the bottom row to the right?

thin flame
#

@bright epoch ||Persephone and Hades||

#

||there are two||

jolly radish
#

@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

thin flame
#

I just caught a ||sturgeon on the surface with a perfect catch.||

lime heart
#

I'm actually pretty sure I figured it out.

jolly radish
#

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 🙂

lime heart
#

I think I have the complete list to start it.

jolly radish
#

Feel free to PM me with what you think it is (assuming you don't have any external info) and we can compare.

bleak olive
#

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?||

flat oyster
#

Do you have the hidden aspect for Varatha?

bright epoch
#

@bright epoch ||Persephone and Hades||
@thin flame ahh thanks a lot!

flat oyster
#

Also, does anyone know how to get the ||decorative themes||

bleak olive
#

Yes, I have unlocked Varatha's hidden aspect

lunar kiln
#

give me a sec

flat oyster
#

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

lunar kiln
#

have you talked to zeus with the rail once

bleak olive
#

I have received a few boons with Exagryph equipped, but no ominous talking about unlocking an aspect.

lunar kiln
#

but did he mention you having the rail at any point

jolly radish
#

@flat oyster which ||decorative themes||, the ||UI change|| or the ||health bar change||?

flat oyster
#

Both, I haven't gotten either

bleak olive
#

Nope, nothing referencing the rail

lunar kiln
#

ok then keep talking to zeus with the rail equipped

flat oyster
#

^

lunar kiln
#

once he mentions you having it equipped you will unlock the hidden aspect later

bleak olive
#

Alright! Was a little worried I had done something wrong so I wanted to check haha

open berry
#

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

lunar kiln
#

it's a new requirement as of this update

jolly radish
#

@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||

open berry
flat oyster
#

So just keep grinding

bleak olive
#

Cool cool, does it need to be the base form of the rail? Or does any aspect equipped work?

flat oyster
#

Any aspect should work

bleak olive
#

Awesome, thank you!

#

(And of course the moment I ask about this, my next Zeus interaction is the one I need...)

thin flame
#

Complaining works! Maybe that's what Zagreus is the god of thanthink

bleak olive
#

I can see it.

thin flame
#

That's my headcanon now. There's even some in-game dialogue that supports it.

lunar kiln
#

glad i can live up to my username

manic yoke
#

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?

trim viper
#

I finally got the last achievement

muted gull
#

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...

trim viper
#

I think for hypnos i had to talk to thanatos on sevral different runs

open berry
#

you need to ||find thanatos||

muted gull
#

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||

manic yoke
#

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?

muted gull
#

@manic yoke , I'm literally right there with ya haha

manic yoke
#

I’m about to pop open giftdata.lua and start figuring out if I’m missing something lol

stark raven
#

Favors usually unlock after a 1-on-1 talk

muted gull
#

Please let me know if you find the solution >< ||Hypnos and Demeter are the only two I'm missing for full bond|| 😦

lunar kiln
#

hypnos' heart unlock requires a lot of conversations between him and thanatos

little vapor
#

||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||

thin flame
#

Did Guan Yu always reduce healing? I could've sworn it only reduced max life and max life gain before.

little vapor
#

||Kind of thought there would be more party scenes||

lunar kiln
#

yes @thin flame

thin flame
#

@little vapor, there's still more story after that.

little vapor
#

Oh wait really?

#

I guess I got confused because ||the achievement says “see the epilogue”||

#

So I thought that was it

thin flame
#

Nope there's lots of conversations and stuff still.

jolly radish
#

There's post-epilogue stuff

#

(I'm working on it myself)

#

notably though ||you're still missing one bond...||

little vapor
#

||Idk I still think they should have given us more scenes from the party tho||

jolly radish
#

i agree but 🤷

little vapor
#

||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||

wooden barn
#

same

little vapor
#

||I finally unlocked winter harvest so I have gotten all her boons if that’s the answer||

muted gull
#

@little vapor ||what's the other bond you're missing?||

little vapor
#

||Persephone, but p sure I know how to do that one||

thin flame
#

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.

little vapor
#

Okay, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything obvious

#

Ty

wooden barn
#

Same thanks Dem and Pers are the only ones I have left too

thin flame
#

Lol so apparently ||Nyx and Ares|| have a thing for each other. They'd make an interesting couple.

open berry
#

its one sided

thin flame
#

Nah, I've had dialogue from both sides.

wooden barn
#

yeah when I saw ares say that it was pretty funny

open berry
#

ive seen it too. its one sided

#

theres dialogue with than about it too

thin flame
#

You've seen the one where ||Nyx explicitly says she's interested?||

open berry
#

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||

thin flame
#

I'm still shipping it 🤷‍♂️

open berry
#

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

little vapor
#

||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?

open berry
#

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

little vapor
#

Hmm so maybe they aren’t a couple in this interpretation of the mythos

open berry
#

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

little vapor
#

Speaking of the mythos, ||I love how they incorporate the pomegranate seed stuff into the story||

#

Thought that was genius

lunar kiln
#

if anything ares is.... ||very interested in nyx||

lunar kiln
#

though it's probably just pure admiration rather than anything else

open berry
#

that is a lot of how i took it. he comes off strong but ares is very earnest and upfront with what hes thinking

little vapor
#

Honestly that whole thing is fun because of how uncomfortable zag seems about it

marsh chasm
little vapor
#

Heavy “leave my mom alone” vibes

marsh chasm
#

i feel like this is where i die

open berry

@marsh chasm you've hit the fun part!

Meg lead isn't all that scary tbh. Depends on your weapon though, I guess.

rigid hearth
#

@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||

nevermind was easy

#

XD

@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 ||

@lost jungle given what @rigid hearth is saying I don't think he beat the Epilogue yet

marsh chasm
#

welp thats what i thought

#

XD

#

i did

lost jungle

xD

#

i asked him before he said he did xD

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

@open berry how do you feel about nyxes realitonship with ares

rigid hearth

I saw ||the boatride||

Congrats! You beat the game 🙂

#

You are NOT in the Epilogue yet.

I saw ||the boatride||
@rigid hearth You reached the end game! But not the epilogue yet

rigid hearth
#

hmmmm mkay okay I didn't know

jolly radish
#

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!

lost jungle
#

after you finished the epilogue

#

||you can unlock demeters lock||

thin flame
#

It's a roguelike. Even when you see all the story and unlock everything, you never really "beat" the game.

jolly radish
#

@lost jungle would spoiler tag that for now imo

lost jungle
#

hm k

#

didnt think that would be a spoiler

little vapor
#

@thin flame ain’t that the truth, after 1000 hours in binding of Isaac I know this too well

jolly radish
#

safe > sorry, mostly kuz there have been questions asking ||how to unlock demeter's last heart||

open berry
#

basically if its new 1.0 stuff, spoiler for now

rigid hearth
#

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

lost jungle
#

we need a "deeper spoiler channel"

#

feels weird using spoilers in a spoiler channel xD

rigid hearth
#

yeah it's weird how you need to be spoiler considerate here

jolly radish
#

just for a week

open berry
#

its only for the week following 1.0 launch

jolly radish
#

is what i think they've been asking

open berry
#

and then it will ease off

jolly radish
#

because 1.0 is such a big update etc.

#

in terms of story

open berry
#

the mods are just trying to ensure people stay considerate and give others a chance to discover content

lost jungle
#

tbh they should write that down somewere

#

channel description

#

or pins

#

= /

#

cause the channel description is misleading

thin flame
#

^^^^

stark raven
#

yeah it should be updated for the time being

lost jungle
#

which mod do i ping GWgoaThinken

#

@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

cold canopy
#

That's a good idea! I'll see if we can get it updated. Thanks for letting me know!

lost jungle

👍

twin monolith
#

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?

lost jungle
#

did you swap

#

to the other death defiance mirror talent ?

#

because that switches the items as well

twin monolith
#

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

lost jungle
#

it gives you 10 % more hp

#

after reviving

twin monolith
#

I see

lost jungle
#

for liek 10 encounters

twin monolith
#

thanks for the info nectar

#

👍

open berry

touch and kiss of styx only show up depending on which defiance trait you're using, yeah

#

How do you get to the epilogue?

thin flame
#

Check pins

amber canyon

That basically doesnt say how

#

Just "youll get it eventually"

thin flame
#

You will. Keep winning.

amber canyon
#

Do you have to win

#

Or just run?

thin flame
#

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.

dire cypress
#

does anyone know how high the resource director's badge rank goes?

thin flame
#

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 :\

dire cypress
#

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

thin flame
#

Unseen Agent for me. I had like 30k darkness when 1.0 hit with my mirror maxed for the talents I use.

dire cypress
#

I only had about 2k or something like that before 1.0 launch

thin flame
#

My next one looks kind of cool. It's got a different motif than the others. Just got enough to buy it now 😄

dire cypress
#

although I did get refunded quite a bit due to the rolls price change

#

who knows, maybe that one is the last rank, lol

thin flame
#

New rank I advanced to is Alpha Cleaner. Pic in a sec.

dire cypress
#

Is there a way to actually change your badge to ones you previously unlocked?

thin flame
#

Not that I'm aware of. There doesn't seem to be a display for them either.

dire cypress
#

That's a shame. I wish there was a way to switch between them like you can for your UI themes

thin flame
#

It'll probably come in a future patch. Seems like a perfect fit for the record room or a display case in Zagreus' room.

scarlet quiver
#

Did anyone do all prophecy achi and can help me with 1-2 questions?

thin flame
#

@scarlet quiver ask away

scarlet quiver
#

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. ||

thin flame
#

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.

scarlet quiver
#

Is it a new one? I've chatted with Ares a lot. xD

open berry
#

it was added in blood price update

scarlet quiver
#

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?

dire cypress
#

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

thin flame
#

^

scarlet quiver
#

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. :(

||Its just rng to get the Minotaur to say the magic words for the fist aspect correct?||

Assuming you have all of the prerequisites done, yes, @zenith flume

#

I should if I have unlocked the other aspects

supple dagger

EM4 was nice.

feral fox

I haven't gotten it either... He's said default one-liners for the last like 4 times I've encountered him

supple dagger
#

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.

feral fox
#

yeah I've encountered the ||mini boss version|| like 5 times, that's what I meant :/

supple dagger
#

what is the requirements anyway? I kinda got it randomly, so I must have done something before update to get it.

feral fox
#

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||

ember nymph
#

Does anyone know if maxing out hearts with the gods (forging bonds) has any gameplay effect?

jolly radish
#

@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...

south turret
#

Something I'm just curious about. When Hades holds court, does he EVER approve a shade's claim?

limber rune
#

can somebody help me with understanding game and new content ?

tired pier
#

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?

marsh chasm
#

best ||companion?||

tired pier
#

I've seen ||Megaera|| be used in some speed runs, I personally like ||Bouldy, because of the extra resource gain and healing||.

marsh chasm
#

||bouldy|| whos that i dont see his name on wiki @tired pier

supple dagger

@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.

Sorry, maybe I should have said ||Sisyphus|| instead.

torpid ermine

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

south turret

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.

And yes, this is the right channel. So right in fact that one of the pinned messages already answers those questions.
