game theory

#

is chaos the cosmic egg

#

and is chaos a chicken

marble frost
#

well s/he's hiding in his/hers pocket dimension all the time without ever coming out of its... shell ( zaglol ) so there's that going for the chicken theory

rocky dirge
#

chaos is the source of chaos
@spice belfry ☝️

nocturne sandal
#

||persephone is gone again, she will return in a couple of runs i suppose?||

drifting citrus
#

yes

jaunty forge
#

Chaos says in the game that he just sort of woke up and started creating things, so nothing really came before him that he knows of

fast idol
#

The cosmic egg is just a catalyst for Chaos's power
I guess it's ultimately useless except that it looks nice
it's not even an actual egg evident to the conversation you have with them

polar goblet
#

Found ||Guan Yu||, is ||Lucifer|| worth dumping blood to get? (Aspect spoilers)

atomic forge
#

i mean you'll open everything eventually after dozen more runs anyway

polar goblet
#

i mean ik but is it worth going for first

#

I'm already a fan of adamant but idk how hard I wanna go at it

atomic forge
#

just save up atleast 3 blood at any moment
and the list also provide quite alot of blood anyway

spare remnant
#

I found ||Arthur/sword|| to be my favorite of the 4th aspects

polar goblet
#

Yeah Imma go for ares's prophecy

spare remnant
#

Followed by ||Fists||

atomic forge
#

the point is just dont spend all of it and have atleast 3 bloods to unlock the hidden aspects

polar goblet
#

Gotcha

#

I beat the game like twice as of now

#

Which is why I'm so sparing of blood

#

Also yeah the melee ones seem interesting, tho I'm more of a ranged player myself

atomic forge
#

you'll get use to it eventually
after beating the game like 5 times its gonna be all consecutive wins from there

rocky dirge
#

Dont even worry about hidden aspects, then, just keep playing the game

#

You can beat the game with any lvl 1 aspect at 0 heat, so dont worry too much about it

polar goblet
#

hehe funny you say zero

#

i started on hell mode

atomic forge
#

i mean not that much of a different
the only thing worth game-changing are the heats

polar goblet
#

true

atomic forge
#

also, how do u get the 4th aspect for weapons?

#

some are just spend 5 bloods on other aspect of that weapon first
some require other hidden aspects to be unlocked first
and then speak to the correct people
read the wiki

rocky dirge
#

You need to unlock the spear hidden aspect first, which requires you to unlock five other aspects, then randomly have Achilles mention it

atomic forge
#

i got spear without even unlocking any spear aspect and it wasnt even my first hidden aspect

#

how do i grind titan blood?

rocky dirge
#

Beat the game

#

jason, you dont need to unlock spear aspects, just five non-starter aspects

atomic forge
#

every heat give 2 titan blood if you win
complete the tasks from the list you bought from house contractor also give you quite alot of blood

south ravine
#

or 3 with legendary fish rooSmug

atomic forge
#

dang nice

south ravine
#

even 4 if you get it at shop

atomic forge
#

sometimes you can spedn 15 keys to get 1 blood at the exchange shop so check it often

rocky dirge
#

Yeah, i'm running low heat but saving obol to buy stuff at the styx shop

#

That store TB really goes a long way

jovial dune
#

Anyone just get to true end?

polar goblet
#

wait 15 keys for a blood

south ravine
#

yep, at broker

jovial dune
#

Trying to find someone who recorded the first true end victory screen

atomic forge
#

dont worry
you'll get keys alot more after unlock fishing

jovial dune
#

Missed what narrator said and it’s bothering me

rocky dirge
#

Do you mean the credits, or the epilogue?

jovial dune
#

I mean the first time you see the beta win screen

#

With the three skulls

atomic forge
#

yeah there are tons of dialouge in this game, dont even know if some can repeat

rocky dirge
#

So you mean, the first one AFTER seeing credits? I think it's still random

shut estuary
#

i did a run for beat ||Charon|| 2 times in a row, but i didn't find him in the second run (i mean the money bag), if i do in the third i will unlock the achievement anyway?

spare remnant
#

It doesn’t need to be consecutive, no

shut estuary
#

i was imagine, thanks man!

jaunty forge
#

The victories have to be consecutive, but there can be any number of runs in between

latent pike
#

do i have to wearing malphon for ||asterius|| to give me the phrase for the hidden aspect

jaunty forge
#

So I've heard

latent pike
#

dang alright

jaunty forge
#

I certainly had them on when it happened

rocky dirge
#

do i have to wearing malphon for ||asterius|| to give me the phrase for the hidden aspect
@latent pike Not really

latent pike
#

i had them on when ||atserius|| spoke to me the first time i just didn't know if i still have to be wearing them to get the phrase

rocky dirge
#

You need to use it, fight him as the miniboss, and have him comment on them. But after that it can be any time, I think?

latent pike
#

||i haven't gotten the miniboss fight with him since then||

#

maybe i'm just unlucky

atomic forge
#

it can happen at random
like ||Lucifer|| who i need 60+ runs to unlock while others may take less or more times

shut estuary
#

guys fo the ||extreme measures|| do i need ||the sigil of the dead that Hades gave me|| or doesn't matter for the task?

#

i mean the maximum, because today i did the number 3

#

and they told me that there is one more

rocky dirge
#

EM4 is an unlockable in the house contractor

#

If you cant buy it yet, just keep playing

jaunty forge
#

^

shut estuary
#

but i bought it XD

rocky dirge
#

Then just... turn it on?

jaunty forge
#

Then you need to turn it on in pact of punishment

shut estuary
#

maybe i was confused and i didn't turn it on

#

i have to check

rocky dirge
#

We'll wait

shut estuary
#

my fault

#

i didn't turn it on XD

atomic forge
#

*disappointed Hades emote
if we even have one

rocky dirge
latent pike
#

why is forced overtime worth 3 heat

#

that feels like a lot of heat for what seems like not that bad of a setback

rocky dirge
#

Is that one speed up? Seems quite impactful

latent pike
#

maybe it'll be worse than i'm imagining

#

at higher levels i'm sure it's really bad but 20% doesn't seem like a lot to me

atomic forge
#

20% is alot especially for extreme measure
and you also have to rethink your reflex timing since the enemies are faster now

rocky dirge
#

You're gonna be feeling that 20% by the elysium boss methinks

wooden barn
#

Forced overtime with EM4 oh man

#

it adds up

atomic forge
#

EM 4 with 20% speed up is no joke
so is the pact that make the armor have more effects

eternal zinc
#

FO messed up my dodges for a while

#

can be quite lethal on certain enemies

atomic forge
#

FO is hell with witch circle, the assassin elite in tartarus, boss of world 3 and 4, the hydra that shoot homing projectile

drifting panther
#

Well, I just about completed all the story stuff in Hades

#

just finished the epilogue

#

only have a few more bonds to max out

#

what a game

sly tulip
#

Uhm... In under "artifacts", there are 2 that are undiscovered... Are those something "huge" for later on, or am I just so stupid, not having found them in 30 runs??

craggy yew
#

its later on stuff

sly tulip
#

Okay

latent pike
#

artemis gave me the hidden aspect phrase for coronacht right before i got to asterius, fml

sly tulip
#

Hmm... I guess I'm getting good at this... I just beat the third boss, and it was sooo easy

strong pilot
#

Theseus and Asterius aren't too much trouble if you get Asterius figured out

#

The King is pretty simple by himself and only really gets tricky with his god blessing shenanigans

rich pond
#

i finally finished story. the ||boat ride|| was satisfying

strong pilot
#

The main trouble is really just getting winged a whole bunch trying to dodge both Theseus and Asterius

sly tulip
#

Yep, Vile. Especially the one with Demeter, so far I think that's the hardest one I've been against

#

If you think of the different effects

strong pilot
#

Free vortexes on like all of his attacks is OD

sly tulip
#

OD??

strong pilot
#

Basically like, Excessive

sly tulip
#

Okay

#

I just don't like the Demeter effect, because the random popups of the ice whirlwind tend to hit me :I

#

And I can't dash out of them... :c

modern hawk
#

there's also less of a clear tell for demeter's whirly

#

the ice toilet comes out of nowhere

atomic forge
#

will diamond options appear in the main hall and bedroom? or is it only for the lounge,west hall, work order and music?

latent pike
#

does the fishing point in the hades boss fight arena give you greek fish?

drifting panther
#

yes

modern hawk
#

ha

#

greek fish

#

bass

atomic forge
#

quick question, how do i get something that let my buy contract or something from the admin chamber?

sly tulip
#

Yes! I got through the credits :D
26 runs, and 8 win streak, I think :D

fossil sentinel
#

nice

sly tulip
#

Oh, dang.
+67% attack dmg, +60% dash-attack dmg, and dash-attack deals +900% on armor :o

shut estuary
#

i putted the maximum of || extreme measures||, with the hidden form of the shield, i was have a decent set, i arrive at || Hades combat||, and at a certain point i was like zaglol wtf?! ahah i understimated him, and i perished XD , next time i wll know better the situation!

atomic forge
#

quick one re ||companions|| - what's the requirements for being able to ||use companions against hades? Also is that still possible? Wiki lists it as full hearts with hades, but i have that, and still cant use battie against him||

astral crest
#

someone spoiler this for me pls, what do i have to do to || unlock the last hermes hearts? ||

#

im 150 hours in, its the last remaining one

steep drift
#

I honestly don't know, mine just unlocked naturally. I recall he had a conversation with me ||about my maxed out lambent plume I had equipped|| at some point around then.

bold briar
#

I just beat hades for the first time and got up ||the surface to see persepohne any tips going from there?||

fossil sentinel
#

Continue escaping and you’ll find out

bold briar
#

Okay thanks!

heady timber
#

i had a thanatos encounter in tartarus

#

a total of 56 enemies, no enemy increasing modifiers

fossil sentinel
#

Thanatos encounters increase enemy spawns I think

heady timber
#

poor than, beaten 9 to 49

odd hedge
#

Can someone help me with the ||epilogue|| I ||can't seem to trigger it at all, both demeter and zeus give generic dialogue constantly too, 7 gods at max hearts, except aphrodite and demeter, 105 runs atm but maybe I didn't do enough of those yet||

grave shale
#

Do you mean the ||feast||

#

i got mine at 120ish?

#

so you might be close

odd hedge
#

Well, I should have all the prerequisites as far as I'm aware

oak furnace
bold briar
#

Just made it to ||theasues In elysium ||without dyeing and on 17 hp

#

Honestly ||the shades|| are too tanky for me.

odd hedge
#

oh that guide is more useful than the one I was using

#

I think I know what to do, thanks

bold briar
#

Dang it just died

drifting citrus
#

interact with it a lot

#

like, ||over 200 times||

#

and there are checkpoints in between where you have to have a convo with orpheus

grave shale
#

Just interact a bunch and go on runs

#

when you come back there should be dialogue unlocked

atomic forge
#

i just play it 5-10 times before going on another run

fast idol
#

ayy I got the final keepsake
now to only
level all of them

sly tulip
#

I think I need... Idk, 2-3 keepsakes 🤔

#

But not gonna be now. Good night :P

grave shale
#

Choosing to fight ||Charon|| in Tartarus was so much harder than i thought it would be

#

I forget he does a flat 50

#

and i have like no health upgrades

#

but now i have ||20% off for the entire run||

fossil sentinel
#

yeah ||20% off|| starting in tartarus is such a huge boost for the rest of the run

grave shale
#

Also is there a list of complete fated prophecies anywhere

#

I dont have anymore on my list currently active

#

but i might just not have activated them

bold briar
#

@bold briar

#

Woops sorry about that misclick

sly tulip
#

@grave shale, the list of prophecies also shows the ones you've completed

grave shale
#

Yea i found the total list on the wiki and im going to cross ref to see if im missing anything

prime mulch
#

check whether its boon buff list, steam achievements,main story or just getting infernal arms to the surface

#

all prophecies is around these

frigid sky
#

Can some on help me?What i must do to open last Aphro Heart of relations?

grave shale
#

Im playing on switch lol so i dont have that option

#

Do you mean Aphrodite's locked heart?

rocky dirge
#

Can some on help me?What i must do to open last Aphro Heart of relations?
@frigid sky Same thing for every other god, I think? If you're not getting the voice lines, then it's probably just the RNG

grave shale
#

^

prime mulch
#

nope

#

aphro need like most companions

#

poseidon need fishes

#

dionysus need u giving ambrosia/nectar a lot

#

@frigid sky

frigid sky
#

aphro need like most companions
@prime mulch Its mean i need all anothers relations to open last aphro heart?

prime mulch
#

the companions iirc since her trigger line talks about partners, so try to unlock ||mag thanatos dusa romance first, then archilles skelly Sisyphus||

pale yew

I have a quick question: In the patch notes I saw mention of a secret boss? Is that || Hades || or someone else? I don't want a specific name or location if not 🙂

grave shale
pale yew
#

One sec, I'll try to find the specific thing. I might be crazy 🙃

grave shale
#

oh wait

#

"+ Hidden Boss: fixed an issue preventing pillars from collapsing between phases as intended"

#

I dont think thats in reference to who you think

frigid sky
#

I have a quick question: In the patch notes I saw mention of a secret boss? Is that || Hades || or someone else? I don't want a specific name or location if not 🙂
@pale yew ||try steal charon bag||

grave shale
#

dont read that majoris

#

they said they didnt want the name or location

#

But if you do wanna know its under that spoiler tag

pale yew
#

Okay, thank you!

#

I didnt read it

#

This game just keeps on giving...I am kinda bad so I am barely into the || Heat System || but there is so much to do

grave shale
#

no worries, was stuck there when i just go into that too, but then you start really learning the attack patterns and familarizing yourself with boons and stuff

#

I have less than a 40% clear rate based on my current numbers so i wouldnt worry about it 😄

#

Just have fun

void agate
#

after several days I am still stuck on eternal favour from skelly; I've completed 52 runs and talk to him every time.|| Killing him with the blade does nothing.||

grave shale
#

Do you mean Eternal Rest?

#

The Minor Prophecy?

#

If so you have to ||upgrade your blade, aspect of zagreus to max and then kill him||

#

He explicitly tells you to

void agate
#

Did that; nothing. ||I've unlocked almost every hidden aspect and upgraded most of the other weapons with blood.||

queen berry
#

You're sure it was the aspect of Zagreus, the default aspect?

prime mulch
#

max zag aspect only, and kill skelly with that blade

void agate
#

@prime mulch what if I have upgraded the sword to its hidden aspect? is there a way to respec?

prime mulch
#

nope, farm more blood

void agate
#

@prime mulch zag is level 5 but I also have the hidden aspect unlocked, have killed him prior to upgrading it but it has been level 5.

prime mulch
#

just kill skelly with the default aspect, not the hiddne one, once u get the default aspect maxed

grave shale
#

I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT UNDER THE TARP

#

BUT I ALMOST SPIT OUT MY TEA

#

LMAOOOO

prime mulch
#

what

void agate
#

@prime mulch how do I select which aspect to use?

grave shale
#

Select the weapon, then select the weapon again and it will open up the aspect menu

spare remnant
#

@prime mulch go inspect the ||3 lumpy crystal looking things by the portal in the bottom left of the courtyard||

prime mulch
#

bro y u ping me @spare remnant

grave shale
#

Thats in reference to my screeching earlier

#

they were telling you what i was yellin about lol

prime mulch
#

are u guys talking abt skelly prizes

flint frost
#

Asterion in a dialogue Asterion mentioned my fists but after more than 6 times he doesn't mention them again, why does this happen? is to unlock the secret look of the fists

prime mulch
#

just keep playing, he will said about it in miniboss fights

void agate
#

@grave shale that worked thank you 🙂 I wasn't aware I was selecting specific aspects I thought they were just overall buffs...oops!

flint frost
#

but what does it say specifically to be attentive and thanks for the help 😄

grave shale
#

Do you mean Asterius?

#

Also yes if you keep using them he will help you ||unlock the hidden aspect||

#

You dont need to really remember what is said, but it will be italicized

worldly drum
#

Do I understand it right that to ||unlock the hidden aspects||, I need to ||invest into either Achilles or Hades on the spear at least 5 blood, then talk to Achilles, get Guan Yu, and then I can find the others?|| That's what the wiki seems to say

timber geode
#

What do the || Themes do for the house when you buy them from the contractor? ||

#

Cause I kinda spent like 10 blood on one

rocky dirge
#

Do I understand it right that to ||unlock the hidden aspects||, I need to ||invest into either Achilles or Hades on the spear at least 5 blood, then talk to Achilles, get Guan Yu, and then I can find the others?|| That's what the wiki seems to say
@worldly drum No, you need to unlock ANY five aspects, then just talk to Achilles until he gives you the password

#

I should say, any five non-starter aspects, of course

worldly drum
#

Okay, I see. Right now I have Chaos Shield and Zeus Shield

#

so I'd need three more

rocky dirge
#

Yes

worldly drum
#

I'm still mad I used 2 blood to unlock zeus shield tho

rocky dirge
#

Then for each 4th aspect AFTER the spear, it's five blood into aspects of that weapon, plus other shenanigans

worldly drum
#

Even if it gets me closer

grave shale
#

@worldly drum its just 5 total

#

doesnt matter into which ones

#

so you can put it all into the first one if you want

#

for example

#

@timber geode Aesthetic

worldly drum
#

5 blood or 5 separate aspects?

#

to be clear

silent jetty
#

I've been struggling trying to get Dusa's bond, I have done 20 plus runs after getting her to full hearts and can't seem to get more dialogue. Any ideas why I can't get it?

grave shale
#

blood

#

wait

#

are you taking about Varatha

#

or another one

#

cause Varatha as the first one has different rules

#

but all the others have the same rules

#

@silent jetty Try upping your friendship with Nyx if you havent

worldly drum
#

I'm talking about unlocking the first. I understand it right that Varatha's hidden is a prerequisite for all the others?

grave shale
#

yes

#

So sorry i misunderstood

#

with Varatha its aspects

silent jetty
#

I have every bond except for dusa and aphro

grave shale
#

with all the others its blood

#

Might just have to keep doing runs for the rng

worldly drum
#

Yeah my Dusa hasn't been doing anything either and I've had her up to the locked heart for a long time

#

at least I unlocked Meg's hearts last run

grave shale
#

Have yall gotten to the credits

#

Mine didnt unlock til after that

worldly drum
#

Also, I realize that the full heart upgrades are tied to something called companions but Cerberus is full out, and nothing has happened

grave shale
#

Thats sorta spoiler but i can tell you if you want

worldly drum
#

I mean if the game will tell me anyway I don't care

#

but if I need to do something weird

grave shale
#

So first off Cerb doesnt have one

rocky dirge
#

Dusa requires you to ||upgrade the lounge more||

grave shale
#

lol

worldly drum
#

But he's such a good boy :(

#

he deserved that ambrosia

rocky dirge
#

Which, you should have picked up on from conversations with her

silent jetty
#

I know that @rocky dirge

grave shale
#

||There are 6 companions, Meg, Thanatos, Skully, Sisiphys , Dusa and Achillies||

worldly drum
#

I feel like I've poured a lot into the lounge

rocky dirge
#

I was talking to Snowy my guy

worldly drum
#

but I haven't gotten the prophecy for upgrading the lounge either

#

is it a specific upgrade?

spare basin
#

i love tyhe urydice room ❤️

worldly drum
#

like how much do you need to spend

rocky dirge
#

You specifically need ||any twelve upgrades including a rug||

worldly drum
#

Eurydice is lovely

#

that song did not need to slap as hard as it does

grave shale
#

for real

#

the first time i entered the room i stopped playing

#

and just stood there listening

#

and then downloaded it off spotify

atomic forge
#

Build That Wall and Good Riddance both.

worldly drum
#

Yeah if I hadn't known it was the bastion people I would have when that song came lol

#

it's very much the same vibe

grave shale
#

In The Blood as well

#

all of the songs from Supergiant are amazing

#

In all their games

#

The transistor soundtrack (Chefs kiss)

worldly drum
#

I've playued bastion but not transistor or pyre

grave shale
#

My favourite has been transistor

#

Tho i havent finished pyre completely

worldly drum
#

Hades is like legit one of my fav games ever

#

it's just so entertaining

grave shale
#

^^^

ebon pulsar
#

Hey everyone! Quick question...how can I get the legendary aspects? I’ve beaten the game with the spear and other weapons. Still no open conversation with Achilles. Is it a random convo? Highly appreciate the info.

queen berry
#

sorry, misread

fossil sentinel
#

this should have alll the info you need @ebon pulsar

worldly drum
#

wait it says ||invest 5 blood into any aspect. does that include zagreus?||

deft vale
#

Nope

#

Other than Zagreus

worldly drum
#

okay, makes sense

#

badly worded then

deft vale
#

Into 5 different aspects actually afaik

worldly drum
#

That's only for the first one

queen berry
#

incorrect on both fronts, I believe it does count any aspect including Zagreus

#

it's just five blood per weapon

worldly drum
#

okay interesting, didn't think zag counted

queen berry
#

oh but guan yu is different

#

okay, indecisive's chat link explains it

worldly drum
#

Yeah I was asking cause I read that

queen berry
#

for every aspect EXCEPT guan yu, you just need to invest five blood into the weapon

#

for guan yu you need five different aspects

rocky dirge
#

Snowy we just told you all this...

deft vale
#

ah, right

worldly drum
#

I know I just wanted the clarification on Zag

#

sorry

ebon pulsar
#

@fossil sentinel thanks for the info. Sooo...it’s pretty much a random convo that should pop up eventually? Because I’ve unlocked all aspects and used 5 hearts for one of the spears.

fossil sentinel
#

yeah

ebon pulsar
#

@fossil sentinel ok cool. Thanks. Much appreciated.

worldly drum
#

@rocky dirge People were helping Storm not me. I just wanted to know if blood invested counted Zagreus aspects

bold tendon
#

Hey

#

Anybody have a .png of ||Persephone's second sprite?|| Not even the wiki has it

fossil sentinel
#

spoiler

#

thats 1.0 endgame content

bold tendon
#

Fair, need to tag?

fossil sentinel
#

yeah

lime heart
#

Anyone know if Than's Keepsake achievement is bugged? I got to ~34% and it didn't unlock.

deft vale
#

I've done it 2 days ago

lime heart
#

Yeah when I got to 30% and it didn't unlock I though I had to clear the run but it didn't show.

worldly drum
#

god I hate some of the rooms in ||Styx||

quartz ledge
#

Why i can give nectar to dusa?

#

I need cthonic companions for achievement

lime heart
#

If there's a locked heart in the codex there is a condition you must meet.

quartz ledge
#

what condition

tepid narwhal
#

for dusa im pretty sure you have to buy a bunch of upgrades for the lounge

lime heart
#

Yes.

#

Idk the actual number.

#

But you have to do some upgrading.

quartz ledge
#

i buy so many things

lime heart
#

Does she have new dialog when you see her?

#

If so it'll eventually unlock if you have bought enough upgrades. If she has nothing to day, you might be short.

quartz ledge
#

The fireplace, cerberus rugs, pillows, bar stuff, the purchase that removes cerberus hairs and scratches

lime heart
#

I don't think it's which upgrades, just amount.

quartz ledge
#

Okay

lime heart
#

You can read more here, though beware spoilers.

hybrid kite
#

wait can you bond with multiple characters?

lime heart
#

Define bond.

deft vale
#

ffs, I never even considered talking to a Bouldy

#

No wonder I can't progress that storyline

timid harness
#

Wait all you can do for the favors is to keep talking to the characters

#

Bc I’ve been chosing Artemis for so long she haven’t ask for any favors though

rocky dirge
#

RNG is a fickle mistress

rapid mulch
#

so the convo with asterius where zagreus brags about wearing malphon counts as asterius commenting on it right?

fossil sentinel
#

i mean, did asterius say that zag was fighting bare handed or something, i think thats part of the dialogue thats required for gilgamesh

worldly drum
#

What are Erebus Gates?

fossil sentinel
#

Basically an encounter where you get upgraded rewards if you complete the encounter no hit

worldly drum
#

oh

#

it's not worth it if I'm not very good at that then?

fossil sentinel
#

It’s pretty good but if you do get hit you’re given an item that heals like 2 hp

rocky dirge
#

Erebus gates also require high heat in order to even enter

#

Like, minimum five, often ten and fifteen

lunar kiln
#

5 in tartarus, 10 in asphodel and 15 in elysium

Hey all, whats an underworld prince gotta do to reach the epilogue? I've gotten ||mom home||, ||dad almost likes me now||, I have ||both their keepsakes||, and theres still this ||plot with the olympians|| but I'm not clear how to advance it. Where do I go from here to reach the epilogue acheivment?

stark pewter
#

I've gotten it but I'm not sure of the exact route. If I had to guess based on the epilogue's contents... ||Finish Dusa's storyline by fixing up and upgrading the lounge a bunch.|| Try that for starters.

karmic bolt
#

||to get it to trigger do I basically need to get max favor with all people?||

#

||I did the dusa thing already||

#

||mostly I got a lot of locked hearts right now and am waiting on achilles to appear again, patrolucus has avoided me like 8 runs in a row now XD||

stark pewter
#

||You don't need bonds with everyone if that's what you're asking, but maybe everyone needs enough hearts?||

normal kiln
#

i think you need to max ||6 different olympians||

stark pewter
#

No cause ||I feel like I only had three maxed by then||

normal kiln
#

wait are we talking epilogue here?

#

or just the credits?

stark pewter
#

You think it'd be a pinned comment. And epilogue

#

Cause I have it but I don't know the requirements

karmic bolt
#

||I'm trying for true ending/true epilogue||

normal kiln
#

ok yeah idk ||i had all the olympians maxed except demeter, but i’ve heard people say you need 6||

#

could be wrong tho i guess

#

||you can’t actually max everyone pre epilogue, so it definitely isn’t that||

stark pewter
#

Now when we say true ending. (and this may be super spoilery) are we talking ||Olympus is invited to feast in Tartarus?|| Simple yes or no.

normal kiln
#

that’s what i was assuming?

stark pewter
#

Ok cool. Just making sure there wasn't a super epilogue or something

normal kiln
#

not that i’m aware of lol

||I maxed 4 only, easiest next two might be aphrodite and hermes, I visited hermes with his feather but it didn't unlock for some reason||

||max his keepsake, then put it on and talk to him||

how often does the shopkeep sell blood? and does he ever stock more than 4 items?

Half the time. One slot is split between anvil/hermes, two slots of strong upgrades and two slots of regular upgrades (which can all be boons or poms)

wary rune
#

Hmmm, I definitely haven't got everyone maxed so that could be part of it

spare basin
#

@south ravine so limited time trades can sell items you have aquired once already, but to regularly sell blood you have to beat the 3rd boss. the broker and charon makes a lot more sense now that ive seen the behind the scenes Xp

rocky dirge
#

You dont want to sell blood, though, the broker trades that give you stuff for blood are universally awful

So in one dialogue line, Hades says that Heracles deserves to be in Tartarus instead of Elysium and that the the "mortal's" moral code is messed up since it allowed him to be safe in Elysium

#

I was looking up what Heracles did, and in the beginning it looked like he was a normal hero

#

Until I looked at the last task he performed, which was to capture Cerberus, and along the way he managed to free Theseus who was originally trapped by Hades LOL

#

thought it was an interesting tidbit

analog anvil
#

IIRC, Heracles' task to capture Cerberus was actually pretty simple originally since he just walked in and asked if he could borrow him for a bit, and Hades was more or less "Sure bro, just make sure he gets back." I could see this version of Hades being less receptive to that though.

heady timber
#

hades agreed to it if he could capture him without weapons

spare remnant
#

Also, Heracles should belong in Tartarus being tortured by Tisiphone. The boy has a body count.

#

Some because of Hera’s influences, some just because he was mad

heady timber
#

you know that

#

he's in olympus

#

since he's a demigod and basically reborn in olympus

spare remnant
#

Depends on the myth.

#

Perseus is also a demigod and in Elysium

@marble frost ||to unlock a hidden aspect you need to have 5 titan blood spent on it, the corresponding person to comment on it while you are using it and then you have a chance to unlock it everytime you talk to the corresponding person||

crystal raven
#

Don't you also need to have taken the ||Guan Yu|| to the surface?

#

The information, or lack of, is rather maddening in this game. Not the creator's fault, but it seems there's no proper consensus as to what unlocks what. I was told last night that I had to ||purchase the Guan Yu with blood, take it to the surface (not win) in order to unlock the hidden aspects for other weapons. I just found a guide online that says you don't need to unlock it, just reveal it. || Ugh

#

I have done that now, but it means I've spent blood on an aspect I didn't even really want

oak furnace
#

the information has been out since June, pinned messages in this channel

crystal raven
#

But I had the 4th sword aspect revealed, unlocked and usable before I bought the 4th spear

#

maybe there's a confusion between unlock and reveal

#

And just to double check, two of the weapons say you need to have them equipped when speaking. Is that true, only for two?

#

e.g I don't need to equip the ||shield when speaking to chaos||

oak furnace
#

you don't need to unlock the 4th spear, just reveal

crystal raven
#

Pins says unlock

#

and I was told in chat I needed to bring it to the surface too

oak furnace
#

pin unlock just means you have to fulfil the 4th spear requirements and make it show up

#

nope

#

never used 4th spear until I could max it out and I got other 4th weapons just fine

crystal raven
#

Yeah, I have the 4th sword. I just wanted to unlock more weapons, and was told I needed to buy and bring the spear up. Which I now see is wrong

#

at least I only spent 3 on the spear, and I was able to get it to the surface first try. Finished a prophecy

I finished the game like I got the credits and everything and everything and I loved the ||painting|| zagluv and I love it how they actually kept the ||story of how Dionysus and Zagreus being the same god as it's often mentioned in texts like they're often referred to each other so it's confusing and hey kept it in the game like talk about being true to the source || shadesmile residentzag

Uhm hey guys, I just unlocked aspect of achilles for the spear, it says i can dash to my spear by pressing Q, but that only recalls the spear...does anyone know how it works?
Press it again quickly after throwing

plain tide
#

Tried that, doesn't work.

high nacelle
#

you need to press the special button twice (first press throws it, second press dashes you towards the spear), if you press the special button once and then attack button, you will recall the spear as normal

plain tide
#

Okay i'm sorry, i'm stupid. I thought all of the upgrades you can buy with blood are activated at the same time but you actually have to activate a single one of them

#

Now i know why none of the upgrades worked...

Last question, did you guys rebind the hotkey for the special? I feel like Q is kinda meh when i have to move around constantly.

heavy warren
#

If I'm doing a special central build I'll swap my lmb and q

wicked lotus
#

I think it's about the weapon you use.. I thought of it actually too..like swaping the Special and Cast but it's mostly about weapon like i primarily use spear so I rarely use it.. but in case of fists and shield I bash it like crazy lol..

Just to make it more accessible

Is there a way to tell when ||you've practiced the lyre enough to progress?||

i believe it's gated by conversations with orpheus

so just keep practicing

the sound will eventually change, it's obvious when it happens, and there are essentially three stages all marked by dialogues with orpheus, u want the last stage and then one last convo with our local musician

Orpheus has to comment though to progress

he will remark on your progress after these points, so you can use his convos to guess how far along you are

you can interact with it multiple times between runs, it just has an interaction cooldown

by that do you just mean the cooldown on how fast you can strum again or is there a hidden CD within which extra strums are useless?

how do you get the gods to take the ambrosia? do you need to get a specific dialouge? I've got 3 of them with the locked heart thing and I have no idea how to get them to take the bottle

fossil sentinel
#

The locked hearts are unlocked by doing a favor specific to that god

spare basin
#

how do you trigger favours?

fossil sentinel
#

They usually aren’t spoken by the god in question, some of them are just more dialogue or events

#

Or a milestone

drifting citrus
#

"favor" is just a catch-all word to mean "the conditions you need to fulfill in order to unlock their hearts"

artemis, for example, is just sitting through her dialogues where she ||talks about calisto||

for the fated prophecy hermes gives you (win 2x in a row against a boss) does it have to be in one playthrough (or 2 in a row)..? I swear I just beat ||charon|| twice in 2 encounters :/

open berry
#

it's not possible to do it in one play through, you can only do the fight once per run. it's two consecutive encounters but you may have to try a third time. It does not always count the first fight, depending on a few factors

oh interesting, thank you! Do you know if it has to be 2 runs in a row? I assume no bc the encounter isn't guaranteed every run

it does not have to be two runs in a row, no

so to max out aphrodite, do you have to choose the romantic option for your potential partners or can you just max them out?

I might science it when I get home then

That way I can just turn on 3 extreme measures to build up early heat

open berry
#

the only thing about the heat gauge is that you wont get bounties on all the heat you skipped. if your last bounty was at 3 and you crank up to 6, you will get bounty for 4 heat upon completion, not 4-5-6

#

that would be about the only true downside to overfilling, i guess

Also fiend

timber geode
#

So I read online that you really only need to start doing clears at || above 8 heat to begin to start doing triggers for the epilogue, do I also need to have all of the gods maxed out with their hearts? ||

unreal dagger
#

Hellspawn

timber geode
#

I'm just a little confused still

#

So what are the EXACT requirements?

normal kiln
#

i don’t know what the exact requirements are, but ||you don’t need all the gods maxed out||

#

||you definitely need to max out some people tho; it’s a question of who/how many||

unreal dagger
#

i still cant unlock aphro even tho i already banged meg, than and somehow dusa

fossil sentinel
#

rng shenanigans are at play

unreal dagger
#

i did this months ago

#

well not like months

#

but like weeks before 1.0 even came out

#

shes the only one im missing, other than the 1.0 ones

hushed niche
#

how can i make ||dusa come back after nyx fires her ? is that a bad end of some kind or will i have a contractor task for something ?||

unreal dagger
#

Is this 1.0 stuff?

#

Cause I dont remember anything in the contractor for this

golden socket
#

Ok I just got the "Family Secret" achievement

#

First of all

#

The credits song is 🔥 🔥 🔥

unreal dagger
#

Facts

golden socket
#

My question is

unreal dagger
#

||in fact after that, when you speak to Orpheus, zag asks him if he can sing it again||

golden socket
#

Have I passed the point in the game where "The Unseen Ones" plays? Or is that something I'm still working towards?

#

Basically, am I safe to listen to the whole soundtrack without spoilers?

runic badger
#

It's from || Extreme Measures ||

golden socket
#

Ahh

#

level 4 I assume?

#

kk

#

thx

timber geode
#

do you need to beat || Extreme Measures 4 Hades to get the epilogue? ||

#

Cause again, I heard from online that you just need to do || high heat runs like 8 or above to start triggering epilogue stuff ||

fossil sentinel
#

i dont think so

timber geode
#

Okay was just making sure cause

#

Holy CRAP he's hard

#

|| And I mean he even has a 3rd phase like jeeze ||

open berry
#

epilogue isnt gated behind any difficulty, no

timber geode
#

I'm just confused overall with it

#

cause there's so much info that's all over the place

open berry
#

they've largely left high difficulty stuff as something the player chases after for personal satisfaction

timber geode
#

|| Max out the gods, do extreme measure 4, do like a bazillion runs ||

#

I got no concrete answer

#

lol

open berry
#

nah em4 isnt a requirement, i didnt even try it til after i did the epilogue

timber geode
#

And I know to max out Demeter you need to do the epilogue

#

|| Also quick sidenote if anybody does work on the Hades subreddit, I feel like Hermes favor needs to be updated ||

#

|| Cause I gotta beat Charon one more time ||

#

btw, Charon with || Arthur || aspect is EZ

iron owl
#

I've met the requirements for Ares' favor but his hearts aren't unlocking smh

#

Same with Hermes' bet

fossil sentinel
#

rng and stuff probably won't let you get the dialogue

timber geode
#

yeeeah

eternal zinc
#

beating ||charon twice|| isnt a req to max out hermes

#

just saying its not that so you probably just need to talk more

open berry
#

hermes involves his keepsake

modern hawk
#

I can't unlock sisyphus' contract

#

talked to everyone

#

finished all dialogue

#

heard hades talk with meg

#

heard meg talk with sisyphus

#

maxed out his nectars

#

exhausted literally everyone's dialogue

iron owl
#

I've already maxed out Hermes since he's my favorite, it's just the fated list hasn't ticked the charon fights yet

hidden kestrel
#

I think it's Nyx left, for almost all contract points

quartz helm
#

^

pale grail
#

Sisypus

#

I only unlock him after 100 run

#

So there is time

lunar kiln
#

Starting the epilogue stuff does not absolutely require you to do heat runs but doing so will make it easier because ||you will need enough ambrosia to forge bonds with at least 6 olympians and grinding for ambrosia without the pact can be tedious||

#

And ||forging a bond with aphrodite and/or dionysus will require lots of it||

#

(also you cant forge a bond with poseidon without using the pact so yeah)

#

Forging bonds with athena/artemis/ares/zeus/hermes/ happens more or less naturally as you play and doesnt really require you to do anything specific (except for hermes where ||you need to talk to him with his maxed keepsake on)|| and just getting demeter to her unlockable heart counts towards the epilogue requirements

steep drift
#

I mean, you say this, but I am 90% sure that I'll meet the other requirements for epilogue before I get the requisite ||number of full clears||. So, it does depend on how just "good" you are at the game (it's going to feel more grindy for someone who beat the final boss first on their 5th go :D)

lunar kiln
#

I suppose so

#

Though you will need to do a number of runs after the ending to start the epilogue as well

merry atlas
#

Does ||Nyx telling Dusa ||not to talk to me ever resolve? I feel like I got it out of order or something, with ||Nyx admonishing Dusa|| around when I ||forged a bond with dusa||, but I don't think that ever got changed, or their relationship got better.

compact lake
#

Dice I think I have the same problem

#

Been like over 40 runs with no progress in that dialogue

#

Thinking maybe theres one weird condition that we havent done that unlocks a certain dialogue

spare remnant
#

You have a few more conversations with Dusa after that and then talk to her in the bedroom

lunar kiln
#

There is a resolution

#

I forgot the specifics of it

tight solar
#

i think i missed that in my playthrough too. nt that it particularly irks me

merry atlas
#

I already had that conversation, I think. Dusa's maxed in my codex.

#

But nothing happened about her and Nyx

pearl plank
#

so do i need to be definitely clearing runs to move toward the epilogue? for the record, i've beaten EM4, i've cleared on 32 heat, i have relationships maxed with everyone except cerberus, hypnos, demeter, ||persephone||, and ||hades||, and i currently have no active prophecies on the fated list. i'm tempted to keep playing on high heat so i can die faster and move through more dialogue, but if i need to be clearing runs then i'll just go back down to bounty level heat

#

also, the reactions from ||hades|| when using the ||sigil|| in the final fight were surprisingly simple and yet surprisingly entertaining imo lol

#

the only thing i was a bit disappointed about was that i entered the final fight with both the ||sigil|| and the Hades spear aspect, i was hoping ||he|| would comment on that combination, but he only mentioned the ||sigil||

merry atlas
#

Yeah, you need I think 10 runs fully cleared after meeting all other criteria

lunar kiln
#

You dont even need clears

#

Just reach hades in one of them

timber geode
#

Oh I just randomly started the fate to start the epilogue

#

|| Thanks, actual mom ||

lunar kiln
#

See

pearl plank
#

what are all the other criteria?

lunar kiln
#

Theres a guide on steam that has them

pearl plank
#

aah

lunar kiln
#

Unless the requirements have changed in a recent patch they are:
||- do 10 runs after the ending (clearing them isnt necessary but you need to have reached hades in at least one of them for a convo)

  • forge a bond with 6 olympians (getting demeter to her unlockable heart counts)
  • learn more about persephone from demeter (the whole kore thing)
  • get zeus to talk about demeter losing her daughter (requires fulfilling the above requirement)||
pearl plank
#

hmmmm

#

i know i've had ||zeus talk about demeter losing her daughter,|| i don't remember kore tho... maybe i'm just forgetful

#

and i must have ||done ten runs since the credits rolled||.. i mean, maybe not? but if not it's gotta be getting close. and i've cleared some of them so, yeah.. hmm... i'm guessing i probably have met the requirements and i just gotta keep grinding away

lunar kiln
#

Normally once you meet all the requirements you should be able to start it right away

pearl plank
#

hmmm

#

what's the ||hades conversation|| vaguely about?

lunar kiln
#

Basically a ||follow-up to the ending convo between you, him and perse||

pearl plank
#

hmmm

#

i'm not sure if i've had that one with him yet.. but i've definitely reached him several times since ||she came home||

lunar kiln
#

||he calls you slippery or something i forgot||

pearl plank
#

hmmmmmmmm

lunar kiln
#

Anyway he calls you something

pearl plank
#

well he's def called me a lot of things haha

#

but maybe i haven't gotten that convo yet

lunar kiln
#

Yeah but ||this convo is more positive||

pearl plank
#

🙂

lunar kiln
#

This should be the first convo you have with him after the ending though

pearl plank
#

||as much as i'm all for stories not pretending like abusers will "come around," i gotta say it's somehow pretty heart-warming to see Hades being relatively kind toward Zag nowadays||

#

hmm yeah now that you mention it, it does sound kind of familiar that i've had a conversation like that with him

#

hrrmm

#

i guess i'll probably just keep doing runs lol, i mean what else is there to do 😅

#

i just would love to progress toward the epilogue, hopefully i'm not somehow missing something

surreal mango
#

Game please...

#

Just let me shower Thanatos with love and ambrosia already...

#

I'm one heart away and every single time he shows up on a run I can't talk to him then.

#

I can't talk to him when the run's finished.

quartz ledge
#

How i can get the ||Epilogue|| is the only one i need.

unreal dagger
#

So I was watching someone on twitch and in the hades fight a big cerb just ran down the arena, anyone know what this is?

crystal raven
#

EM4

quartz ledge
#

I cant give nectar to Ares and Aphrodite what i can do?

fast idol
#

You need to progress down their relationship, for Ares he needs to request you beat a certain amount of enemies, then you'll have to do that and after that you can give him a final Ambrosia

quartz ledge
#

I finish that

#

the augury

fast idol
#

then you'll just have to wait for him to aknowledge it

quartz ledge
#

that was a long time ago

fast idol
#

But you're unable to give him the final Ambrosia?

quartz ledge
#

yup

fast idol
#

maybe there's a second trigger, I don't know

quartz ledge
#

a long time ago I fulfilled that mission and many times I grabbed boons de ares and nothing

pale grail
#

Then rng is not on your side

quartz ledge
#

i dont think its rng, i will literally have done 50-70 runs after i finish that

pale grail
#

Then maybe report it with ingame F10

quartz ledge
#

the only god that I could give him Ambrosia was Zeus, now I tried Athena and I can't

south ravine
#

So Aphrodite is married, not like its gonna stop me squirtheh

upbeat willow

I mean, aphrodite will probably stop you squirtdevious

Aphrodite is married to Hephaitus right?

yep

What is that everyone called “Aspect of truck”?

||arthur||

I completed all the missions of the gods and I still cannot give them ambrosia, could it be a bug?

faint hearth
#

can someone help me

#

im trying to get the last aspect of exagraph

#

aspect of|| lucifer ||

buoyant zodiac
#

Why won't ||Zeus give me Lucifer phrase yet||? He's already commented on ||Adamant rail once belonging to Hestia||.

#

So I'm doubling down on Noah's question, basically

faint hearth
#

same here

buoyant zodiac
#

It's been like 20 runs

faint hearth
#

and I maxed out zag aspect and put points in others so i should see him say the phrase honestly

quartz ledge
#

Did you spend 5 blood on rail?

#

And then you need to talk with zeus to trigger the conv

buoyant zodiac
#

Yeah, I maxed Hestia's

#

And Zeus did comment on the rail

dense fox
#

Just so i dont waste eternity pressing zr, is there a trick to gettubf zag giood at the harp

just keep practicing

Spend an eternity pressing zr

ashen forge
#

So giving ||thanatos|| ambrosia doesn't mean i have to romance him? I asked before but got different answers

lunar kiln
#

At some point he ||will wait for you in your bedroom and you will be given the choice to romance him or not||

dense fox
#

so i jut keeep prressingf this play button untill, zag gets guud>?

lunar kiln
#

Yep

#

It will take a while

I forgot the exact number of presses

must be a lot beeen tappping ssiice i askred

hence typos

#

I think somewhere around ||200||

#

Question about ambrosia: I don’t have anyone’s relationship strong enough to give ambrosia, I have 13 of them, and the wretched merchant is tempting me to trade ambrosia for Titan blood. Do I keep hoarding the ambrosia??

lunar kiln
#

Ambrosia's kind of a pain to grind for so id say keep it

lime tree
#

Does each character only accept one or is it like nectar and I can gift multiple over time?

lunar kiln
#

Same as nectar

lime tree
#

Yowch, ok, thank you!!

lunar kiln
#

All of the olympians only accept 1 ambrosia except hermes who takes two

#

The other characters will take 2-3 for the most part

#

Youll also discover more uses for it if you give ambrosia to certain people

lime tree
#

||and those other uses look so cute, I really ought to save for those||

#

Thank you again! You’re very helpful

lunar kiln
#

Youre welcome lad

dense fox
#

you sure its 200 because im 200 in niw. theees not like an additional disdcccusiom or som3eething after unlocking harp fristor something?

lunar kiln
#

Well orpheus will comment on every progress you make

dense fox
#

ajh i seee so i need to do run first/

lunar kiln
#

Yeah

#

What does your lyre sound like so far

dense fox
#

terrib;le. i wasted half a hour trying to use it after just unlocking it

#

i thought i has to just use the blasted thing 200 times

#

not talk to orpheus

#

this entire conversation i was buttom mashing

lunar kiln
#

Ah no you gotta talk to orpheus too

dense fox
#

right. well hopefully next time i do a run orpheos plclaims me A god of music afger that

#

/:

lunar kiln
#

iirc he'll ||quickly tell you how to play it|| and then you can go ape wild on the lyre

dense fox
#

ok cool

lunar kiln
#

If you hear progress just go do a run and talk to orpheus

#

Rinse and repeat

quartz ledge
#

i need help with olimpians bonds

#

All the gods have a blocked heart and I already did their missions

#

I just can give ambrosia to zeus and ares

#

Why Hades hate Heracles? thanthink

normal kiln
#

in myth heracles ascended to mount olympus when he died, instead of going to the underworld

#

which in hades' view is definitely cheating

#

he asked to be thrown into fire to burn away the mortal flesh

It's my first time to see *Orpheus and Eurydice finally singing together... and I'm at the brink of crying happy tears ohmygods

😭 too beautiful.......

fossil sentinel
#

I think you mean Orpheus

#

I hope

misty venture
#

god imagine Hades singing

#

anyway

#

is Hypnos literally the last thing Thanatos will talk about

fossil sentinel
#

They occasionally speak to each other

#

But you probably have bad dialogue rng

misty venture
#

i just did epilogue so doubtless than is gonna talk about that before hypnos

#

I just need this last bond

#

got all achievements and most of the prophecies

#

I hope I can get Hypnos’ bond before I max out all companions and aspects lmfao

shut estuary
#

i LOVE That || romance with Megaera|| i play this game after the credtis just for this XD , no i'm kiddiing, but the surprise after saw the "new effect on the profile" made me happy, i was want to do the same with ||Artemis|| but is not gonna happen right?

misty venture
#

if by new effect on the profile you mean the chibi icon on Meg’s keepsake, you can do that with every character that has a keepsake

shut estuary
#

if by new effect on the profile you mean the chibi icon on Meg’s keepsake, you can do that with every character that has a keepsake
@misty venture no i mean || the little green arrow that follow new hearts|| for the """friendship"""

misty venture
#

I thought that arrow was purple

shut estuary
#

aaaand you are right sorry ahah

#

so no Artemis 😦 ?

misty venture
#

but then.. no, in greek mythology Zeus granted Artemis virginity for eternity so, can’t romance with her lol

shut estuary
#

NNNNOOOOOO

#

i like so much that girl

#

use spoiler lool

misty venture
#

Artemis is aromantic and asexual so yeah

#

you can ‘romance’ ||Thanatos, Megaera and Dusa|| if you wanted to know

shut estuary
#

Artemis is aromantic and asexual so yeah
@misty venture yea i noticed that with some phrases about """love""" XD

#

Thanatos XD

#

I hope I can get Hypnos’ bond before I max out all companions and aspects lmfao
@misty venture ALL fo that? how many hours?

#

i mean, did you complete the fated list BEFORE the credits?

misty venture
#

was an exaggeration, its very likely Hypnos’ bond comes before that

#

I finished the game pretty much

#

got the epilogue

shut estuary
#

aaa so just the epilogue

misty venture
#

all keepsakes are 3 stars, all legendary aspects unlocked, every bond except Hypnos forged, did all sidequests and romance routes

#

122 hours so far if you wanted to know

shut estuary
#

thx

#

but it seems strange

misty venture
#

but a lot of time was spent before v1.0 so you probably need way less than that to get to epilogue

shut estuary
#

i finished the epilogue, did like 80 attempts (15 victory), 90 hours in, and i m still going to unlock side quest

misty venture
#

thats probably understandable

#

when v1.0 dropped i already beat the game like 30 times or something lol

agile nova
#

Zeus didn’t grant her virginity. It was her own choice.

shut estuary
#

for example did you unlock the || Nyx side quest with Chaos and bought that portal for 3k of darkness AND the accessory for make music|| ?

misty venture
#

it was her own choice but zeus granted it

#

for being his daughter

#

yeah I have

shut estuary
#

quite strange XD

#

i 'm 90 hours in and i still have many, many unique dialogues

misty venture
#

same here tbh
