well s/he's hiding in his/hers pocket dimension all the time without ever coming out of its... shell (
) so there's that going for the chicken theory
chaos is the source of chaos
@spice belfry ☝️
||persephone is gone again, she will return in a couple of runs i suppose?||
yes
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
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
Found ||Guan Yu||, is ||Lucifer|| worth dumping blood to get? (Aspect spoilers)
i mean you'll open everything eventually after dozen more runs anyway
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
just save up atleast 3 blood at any moment
and the list also provide quite alot of blood anyway
I found ||Arthur/sword|| to be my favorite of the 4th aspects
Yeah Imma go for ares's prophecy
Followed by ||Fists||
the point is just dont spend all of it and have atleast 3 bloods to unlock the hidden aspects
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
you'll get use to it eventually
after beating the game like 5 times its gonna be all consecutive wins from there
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
i mean not that much of a different
the only thing worth game-changing are the heats
true
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
You need to unlock the spear hidden aspect first, which requires you to unlock five other aspects, then randomly have Achilles mention it
i got spear without even unlocking any spear aspect and it wasnt even my first hidden aspect
how do i grind titan blood?
Beat the game
jason, you dont need to unlock spear aspects, just five non-starter aspects
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
or 3 with legendary fish 
dang nice
even 4 if you get it at shop
sometimes you can spedn 15 keys to get 1 blood at the exchange shop so check it often
Yeah, i'm running low heat but saving obol to buy stuff at the styx shop
That store TB really goes a long way
Anyone just get to true end?
wait 15 keys for a blood
yep, at broker
Trying to find someone who recorded the first true end victory screen
dont worry
you'll get keys alot more after unlock fishing
Missed what narrator said and it’s bothering me
Do you mean the credits, or the epilogue?
yeah there are tons of dialouge in this game, dont even know if some can repeat
So you mean, the first one AFTER seeing credits? I think it's still random
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?
It doesn’t need to be consecutive, no
i was imagine, thanks man!
The victories have to be consecutive, but there can be any number of runs in between
do i have to wearing malphon for ||asterius|| to give me the phrase for the hidden aspect
So I've heard
dang alright
I certainly had them on when it happened
do i have to wearing malphon for ||asterius|| to give me the phrase for the hidden aspect
@latent pike Not really
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
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?
it can happen at random
like ||Lucifer|| who i need 60+ runs to unlock while others may take less or more times
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
EM4 is an unlockable in the house contractor
If you cant buy it yet, just keep playing
^
but i bought it XD
Then just... turn it on?
Then you need to turn it on in pact of punishment
We'll wait
*disappointed Hades emote
if we even have one

why is forced overtime worth 3 heat
that feels like a lot of heat for what seems like not that bad of a setback
Is that one speed up? Seems quite impactful
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
20% is alot especially for extreme measure
and you also have to rethink your reflex timing since the enemies are faster now
You're gonna be feeling that 20% by the elysium boss methinks
EM 4 with 20% speed up is no joke
so is the pact that make the armor have more effects
FO is hell with witch circle, the assassin elite in tartarus, boss of world 3 and 4, the hydra that shoot homing projectile
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
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??
its later on stuff
Okay
artemis gave me the hidden aspect phrase for coronacht right before i got to asterius, fml
Hmm... I guess I'm getting good at this... I just beat the third boss, and it was sooo easy
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
i finally finished story. the ||boat ride|| was satisfying
The main trouble is really just getting winged a whole bunch trying to dodge both Theseus and Asterius
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
Free vortexes on like all of his attacks is OD
OD??
Basically like, Excessive
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
there's also less of a clear tell for demeter's whirly
the ice toilet comes out of nowhere
will diamond options appear in the main hall and bedroom? or is it only for the lounge,west hall, work order and music?
does the fishing point in the hades boss fight arena give you greek fish?
yes
quick question, how do i get something that let my buy contract or something from the admin chamber?
Yes! I got through the credits :D
26 runs, and 8 win streak, I think :D
nice
Oh, dang.
+67% attack dmg, +60% dash-attack dmg, and dash-attack deals +900% on armor :o
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
wtf?! ahah i understimated him, and i perished XD , next time i wll know better the situation!
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||
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
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.
I just beat hades for the first time and got up ||the surface to see persepohne any tips going from there?||
Continue escaping and you’ll find out
Okay thanks!
i had a thanatos encounter in tartarus
a total of 56 enemies, no enemy increasing modifiers
Thanatos encounters increase enemy spawns I think
poor than, beaten 9 to 49
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||
Well, I should have all the prerequisites as far as I'm aware
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2243325435
I got mine at around 70+ from a fresh 1.0 file
Just made it to ||theasues In elysium ||without dyeing and on 17 hp
Honestly ||the shades|| are too tanky for me.
oh that guide is more useful than the one I was using
I think I know what to do, thanks
Dang it just died
interact with it a lot
like, ||over 200 times||
and there are checkpoints in between where you have to have a convo with orpheus
Just interact a bunch and go on runs
when you come back there should be dialogue unlocked
i just play it 5-10 times before going on another run
ayy I got the final keepsake
now to only
level all of them
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||
yeah ||20% off|| starting in tartarus is such a huge boost for the rest of the run
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
@grave shale, the list of prophecies also shows the ones you've completed
Yea i found the total list on the wiki and im going to cross ref to see if im missing anything
check whether its boon buff list, steam achievements,main story or just getting infernal arms to the surface
all prophecies is around these
Can some on help me?What i must do to open last Aphro Heart of relations?
Im playing on switch lol so i dont have that option
Do you mean Aphrodite's locked heart?
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
^
nope
aphro need like most companions
poseidon need fishes
dionysus need u giving ambrosia/nectar a lot
@frigid sky
aphro need like most companions
@prime mulch Its mean i need all anothers relations to open last aphro heart?
the companions iirc since her trigger line talks about partners, so try to unlock ||mag thanatos dusa romance first, then archilles skelly Sisyphus||
the companions iirc since her trigger line talks about partners, so try to unlock ||mag thanatos dusa romance first, then archilles skelly Sisyphus||
@prime mulch TY!
And what about locked Cerberus?
i cant give it to cerberus more. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/758485427723698186/763202960326131732/unknown.png
just pet him a lot
just pet him a lot
@prime mulch Blees you god!
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 🙂
in #hades-patch-notes ?
One sec, I'll try to find the specific thing. I might be crazy 🙃
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
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||
dont read that majoris
they said they didnt want the name or location
But if you do wanna know its under that spoiler tag
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
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
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.||
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
Did that; nothing. ||I've unlocked almost every hidden aspect and upgraded most of the other weapons with blood.||
You're sure it was the aspect of Zagreus, the default aspect?
max zag aspect only, and kill skelly with that blade
@prime mulch what if I have upgraded the sword to its hidden aspect? is there a way to respec?
nope, farm more blood
@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.
just kill skelly with the default aspect, not the hiddne one, once u get the default aspect maxed
what
@prime mulch how do I select which aspect to use?
Select the weapon, then select the weapon again and it will open up the aspect menu
@prime mulch go inspect the ||3 lumpy crystal looking things by the portal in the bottom left of the courtyard||
bro y u ping me @spare remnant
Thats in reference to my screeching earlier
they were telling you what i was yellin about lol
are u guys talking abt skelly prizes
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
just keep playing, he will said about it in miniboss fights
@grave shale that worked thank you 🙂 I wasn't aware I was selecting specific aspects I thought they were just overall buffs...oops!
but what does it say specifically to be attentive and thanks for the help 😄
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
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
What do the || Themes do for the house when you buy them from the contractor? ||
Cause I kinda spent like 10 blood on one
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
Yes
I'm still mad I used 2 blood to unlock zeus shield tho
Then for each 4th aspect AFTER the spear, it's five blood into aspects of that weapon, plus other shenanigans
Even if it gets me closer
@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
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?
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
I'm talking about unlocking the first. I understand it right that Varatha's hidden is a prerequisite for all the others?
I have every bond except for dusa and aphro
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
Also, I realize that the full heart upgrades are tied to something called companions but Cerberus is full out, and nothing has happened
Thats sorta spoiler but i can tell you if you want
I mean if the game will tell me anyway I don't care
but if I need to do something weird
So first off Cerb doesnt have one
Dusa requires you to ||upgrade the lounge more||
lol
Which, you should have picked up on from conversations with her
I know that @rocky dirge
||There are 6 companions, Meg, Thanatos, Skully, Sisiphys , Dusa and Achillies||
I feel like I've poured a lot into the lounge
I was talking to Snowy my guy
but I haven't gotten the prophecy for upgrading the lounge either
is it a specific upgrade?
i love tyhe urydice room ❤️
like how much do you need to spend
You specifically need ||any twelve upgrades including a rug||
for real
the first time i entered the room i stopped playing
and just stood there listening
and then downloaded it off spotify
Build That Wall and Good Riddance both.
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
In The Blood as well
all of the songs from Supergiant are amazing
In all their games
The transistor soundtrack (Chefs kiss)
I've playued bastion but not transistor or pyre
^^^
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.
sorry, misread
wait it says ||invest 5 blood into any aspect. does that include zagreus?||
Into 5 different aspects actually afaik
That's only for the first one
incorrect on both fronts, I believe it does count any aspect including Zagreus
it's just five blood per weapon
okay interesting, didn't think zag counted
Yeah I was asking cause I read that
for every aspect EXCEPT guan yu, you just need to invest five blood into the weapon
for guan yu you need five different aspects
Snowy we just told you all this...
ah, right
@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.
yeah
@fossil sentinel ok cool. Thanks. Much appreciated.
@rocky dirge People were helping Storm not me. I just wanted to know if blood invested counted Zagreus aspects
Fair, need to tag?
yeah
Anyone know if Than's Keepsake achievement is bugged? I got to ~34% and it didn't unlock.
I've done it 2 days ago
Yeah when I got to 30% and it didn't unlock I though I had to clear the run but it didn't show.
god I hate some of the rooms in ||Styx||
If there's a locked heart in the codex there is a condition you must meet.
what condition
for dusa im pretty sure you have to buy a bunch of upgrades for the lounge
i buy so many things
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.
The fireplace, cerberus rugs, pillows, bar stuff, the purchase that removes cerberus hairs and scratches
I don't think it's which upgrades, just amount.
Okay
You can read more here, though beware spoilers.
wait can you bond with multiple characters?
Define bond.
ffs, I never even considered talking to a Bouldy
No wonder I can't progress that storyline
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
RNG is a fickle mistress
so the convo with asterius where zagreus brags about wearing malphon counts as asterius commenting on it right?
i mean, did asterius say that zag was fighting bare handed or something, i think thats part of the dialogue thats required for gilgamesh
What are Erebus Gates?
Basically an encounter where you get upgraded rewards if you complete the encounter no hit
It’s pretty good but if you do get hit you’re given an item that heals like 2 hp
Erebus gates also require high heat in order to even enter
Like, minimum five, often ten and fifteen
5 in tartarus, 10 in asphodel and 15 in elysium
Just found a nice touch! ||I'm currently the head servant of the house!||
Impression of Chaos before their story progression: what do u want sus man in the pit?
Impression of Chaos now: "sniff grandchild please come down into the void to see me im so lonely"
"also ur mom doesnt wanna see me either pls help"
||so if I romance Megaera and then romance Thanatos, does anything bad happen? only doing so to unlock aphrodite's lock otherwise I'd just do the one.||
you don't need to do both to unlock her, but they're cool with it
oh just need 2 bonds for aphrodite, gotcha
been trying to max every bond to slowly work towards the true ending
This is ancient greece, plenty of love to go around
lol true
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?
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.
||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||
||You don't need bonds with everyone if that's what you're asking, but maybe everyone needs enough hearts?||
i think you need to max ||6 different olympians||
No cause ||I feel like I only had three maxed by then||
You think it'd be a pinned comment. And epilogue
Cause I have it but I don't know the requirements
||I'm trying for true ending/true epilogue||
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||
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.
that’s what i was assuming?
Ok cool. Just making sure there wasn't a super epilogue or something
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||
No clue how to unlock hermes. If I had to guess??? ||Super speedrun?||
||max his keepsake, then put it on and talk to him||
||max as in 3 star? or max as in max stats of it||
||because I talked to him with it at 3 star and nada||
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)
The other half it's a diamond, btw
there is 12 offers that you can get, just do math 
fair
ah figured it out. i need to manage to kill the 3rd boss. had to glance through some code Xp
Hmmm, I definitely haven't got everyone maxed so that could be part of it
@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
You dont want to sell blood, though, the broker trades that give you stuff for blood are universally awful
Is there any point to ambrosia once you've forged every bond? I just now got the last one.
i assume you’ve maxed out the companions?
after that there’s a theme
then it’s worthless funny coloured titan blood
oh except for badge progression of course
Y'know, I forgot about companions; who needs the rest of em when you got|| bouldy||.
Thanks for the answer!
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
how do you ||do the epilogue stuff||
theres a guide on steam, need some particular dialogues
i'm playing on switch
u can still view the steam guide
is there more to the story after the tenth completion?
yes
does it grant anything more than extra quotes if you beat the final boss with the cosmic egg after you talk about it with master C.
ye
it gib prophecy reward
nice
a bunch of the keepsakes have something tied to them one way or the other
a third phase? ugh
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.
hades agreed to it if he could capture him without weapons
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
you know that
he's in olympus
since he's a demigod and basically reborn in olympus
Guys to unlock hidden aspect it written "spend 5 Titans blood on the weapon" does the blood to unlock other 2 aspect counts?
assuming you mean the other two aspects of the weapon in question, yes
Thank you very much sir
She's thirsty
its fine ||u can get it all back||
She has a mighty thirst
|| You can get it all back if you're HEARTLESS and HATE DUSA that is ||
|| Naturally, I got it all back. ||
more like u holding a gorgon hostage with ur alcohol
||ambrosia is contraband???? when will underworld police arrest zagreus?||
zag ||already bribed them, namely meg||
||wait, I need to spend 5 titan blood on each weapon to unlock the hidden aspect interaction ?||
@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||
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
the information has been out since June, pinned messages in this channel
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||
you don't need to unlock the 4th spear, just reveal
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
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
My sprite request remains
||still waiting on chaos to remark about shield aspect, also no patrolocus in over 10 runs so achilles has been gone, feelsbadman||
I did at least max bond chaos though
RNG dialogue is RNG dialogue.

I have updated the Presentation about ||4th Hidden Aspects|| to feature the same font you can find in the game. Enjoy !
where is achilies? been 3 runs and i cant find him
||pretty sure you just gotta pray patroculus appears and he'll be there||
mmmm
why did he have to dissapear intot he low chance room right when i needed him Xp
||finally found achilles lol||
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?
I finished the game like I got the credits and everything and everything and I loved the ||painting||
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 ||

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
Tried that, doesn't work.
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
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...
LoL happens..
I know i may spoil myself, but what is ambrosia for? I got like 10 of it by now but i can't spend it anywhere
It's late game nectar
Oh so i just gotta wait, thanks.
Haha same here I got 13 Abrosa lol
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.
If I'm doing a special central build I'll swap my lmb and q
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..
Recommend getting a mouse with additional buttons
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
It actually sounds proper at this point, I'm just not getting the dialogue
no joke
orpheus lyre progress is 20/60/110/210 interactions if my memory serves me correctly
oh wow
Interactions with the lyre?
that's interactions with the lyre or with orpheus?
with the lyre
ok
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
||omg the fact that megara talked thanatos into it makes it 10x better||
Out of curiosity for Lyre, is that interactions per run or like... Just pressing the button
^was just about to ask the same thing
I think it's not capped at once/run
total
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?
former
does anyone know how to get the game dialogue via files im done w the game but i'd like to reread some of the lines lol
Smh time to afk strum for a while
it's probably on youtube (dialogue)
Is there a way to tell when ||you've practiced the lyre enough to progress?||
The music gets longer and it sounds like actual music
i just beat a 16 heat run and the skelly achievement didnt unlock :(
Did you go inspect the trophy afterwards?
question about the relationships
||what happens when you choose the ease off option with your potential mates?||
||does it stop there permanently?||
That is your one chance to make that choice
It’s a decision whether you want to continue or not with the relationship or stay as friends
...what's with Aphrodite and Megaera?
How do I avoid the green pulsing things that redacted keeps using?
just destroy them
kill the things with numbers on their head
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
The locked hearts are unlocked by doing a favor specific to that god
how do you trigger favours?
They usually aren’t spoken by the god in question, some of them are just more dialogue or events
Or a milestone
"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 ares just ||kill a lot of enemies||
zeus, on the other hands, requires you ||seeing lines about him from all the other gods||
||thank gosh, all the dominos fell into place story wise, finally found achilles AND hermes decided my trinket was enough proof the third try lol. He'll be the sixth olympian to max so epilogue here I come!||
||btw is there a way to reliably trigger fighting charon? down to 4 acheivements||
is it only mid biomes that fight can happen in?
only mid-biome shops yes
how to progress with cerberus, hypnos, and demeter?
cerb you pet a ton
20 times I believe
demeter I believe is locked til post true epilogue
and hypnos ya just gotta wait for him to learn to work I think, still waiting lol
I try to talk to everyone every chance cuz of all the triggers
hypnos i'm still waiting on as well
demeter I have, pretty sure you're right with post epilogue
cerberus - ||pet him 20 times||
demeter - ||meet her a bunch of times in your runs post-epilogue||
hypnos - ||several conversations between him and thanatos/him and you, this one will take forever to do though dont worry||
does anyone know how to unlock ||Sundial, Imported|| i have finished the game over 100 times and have unlocked all but 1 ||theme||
there's a conversation with hades very early on that should make the contractor sell it
how can i initiate it as i've now run out of dialog options
did you double check the contractor's work orders
yeah i've got none left other than 1 theme
and you bought every other cosmetic?
yes
weird
the only tabs not checked are the work orders and west hall and i only have 1 thing to buy in the work orders
Guys I had 5 Blood invested on the Gloves and manage to find Asterion alone but it doesnt unlock me the last aspect is it normal?
it's normal to not immediately get required dialogue, that's not something that's guaranteed. it's only not normal if you've exhausted dialogue and still can't get it
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 :/
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?
it’s the latter i believe
you can either be platonic or romantic and it will still count
okay, thank you
||any point in checking the garden after runs? does anything happen in there?||
spoiler tag that as it is v1.0 endgame content
||any point in checking the garden after runs? does anything happen in there?||
@heavy warren There are occasional scenes there
Ok ty
@heavy warren i only really check it if ||Persephone|| and/or Hades is not in the Lobby
Ok, I am missing something. How the heck do I complete Sea-God's Spite prophecy?
What does it say?
Vanquish 'Extreme Measures' Theseus, then seek Poseidon
I've done both many times including during the same run
So you have to use the ||Pact of Punishment|| to level three (||where they’re in the gold armor||). After that, it’s just RNG dialogue with Poseidon.
Ok, I'm doing it right and I just have to wait for RNG
I wonder if i have to do the Sea god in the same run?
dialogue rng strikes again!
Maybe I will try to bond with poseidon
it happens every time in this channel lol
Because i beat them Shiny amour like 20 run ago
I've been neglecting the olympians
The ||epilogue|| is by rng?
||is there a downside to overfilling the heat gauge? Like if I have 3 heat bounties and I fill to 6, do I lose out on anything?||
I might science it when I get home then
That way I can just turn on 3 extreme measures to build up early heat
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
like if u do heat 20 from the start, u still need to do it 20 times for all the rewards
man i really hate that the vases in the hades fight count as traps for heightened security. 150 damage is just so insane
This game is hilarious. My Zag decided to give the bone hydra a pet name hahaha
he doesn't feel like it
also the rest of the olympians don't know that hermes is helping
hermes is underappreciated anyways.
how op is ||pom blossom||?
spoiler that buddy
Only after || she come back to the house||
||Pom Blossom|| is 50 gold every 4 rooms. And small chambers in Styx count.
no but do spoiler that as it is v1.0 endgame content
how do i make her come back
Keep playing.
Just play the game
^
||what are the things under the keepsakes||
but in styx wouldn't you rather just go acorn
I do enjoy ||Pom blosom|| , run it from start to finish in my recent rún
||is there anything that triggers her to come back to the lobby?||
Those are companion, will unlock when you have enough relationships with certain characters
Yes, || end game||
|| a boat ride || to be exact
||what is end game? i have already beaten hades twice, one on heat mode||
Depends on the run. If high heat, 90% I'm taking acorn just to play it safe. If I'm just having fun I'll just keep the same trinket start to finish for something like 11-15 triggers.
Beat it a bunch more times.
||is there any way to manipulate which fury you get bc i really wanna give meg stuff but she hasn't been in the lobby by herself for quite a while||
You have to beat him like ... ||5-10 times||
Very heavy spoiler||10 times gets the boat ride. You need even more for the actual epilogue. And then you have skelly statues. And then you have pact for ever increasing difficulty. And then you have the mythical 63 heat runs which are to my best knowledge unwon.||
Either
ok thanks
for poseidon's favor, i beat ||Theseus on Extreme Measures, got Poseidon's boon in Styx and he didnt' say anything to me (?). anyone know what i'm doing wrong?||
It is rng
i unlocked all the weapons and have beaten hades ||how do i upgrade weapons w/ titan's blood||
i'll take that as a no then?
Click a weapon
Then click it again
It nothing happen
Go for one more run
After that, skelly will have a word with you
@pale grail does it have to be on the same run or is it possible he acknowledges it later at the beginning of a run
I dont know yet
thanks 🙂
But i did beat those 2 20 runs ago and Poisedon havent comment on it
||how many times do you have to defeat hades to get the epilogue, after personephone returns?||
|| 10 iirc||
huh, felt like ive done it more times than that and nothing
Oh you mean || the party||
||It depends. There's a prophecy you need to finish first for true epilogue.||
Then i dont know, seem like rng
the guide for that is in the pins here i think
yeah i havent got the ||prophecy yet, beat hades ~30 times according to the record||
am i just unlucky?
||so i just beat hades EM4 after doing idk how many clears, is that the real trigger for the "final" quest of bringing the gods to the underworld ? or did it just happen that way out of sheer luck ?||
I think just rng
I havent beat em4 yet, but i have alreay have the ||party in the underworld||
alright then, perfect rng it is then
i thought it might be relationships with everyone?
not sure tho. mine triggered about when i had 6 hearts with each
i have the bond with almost everyone, missing demeter, artemis, hypnos, dionysos and idr who the last one
||how do u get the summons under the keepsakes||
get to the lock (dont have to max hearts) witht he follwoing: ||meg, thanatos, skelly, sisyphus, dusa, achilles||
i unlocked all the weapons and have beaten hades ||how do i upgrade weapons w/ titan's blood||
You get more blood then uograde
Does anyone know where I can find Theseus lines?
Like I want to read them and have a list of all the stuff he says. Or I'll settle for many of the things he says
i almost made a bot for his lines but otherwise no
are you looking for anything in particular
I mean no nothing in particular, I'm starting a short dnd game and I'm using Theseus as inspiration for my character, so just wanted to brush up on his lines and steal some of his vocab
I know he says blackguard and fiend a lot
Also fiend
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? ||
Hellspawn
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||
i still cant unlock aphro even tho i already banged meg, than and somehow dusa
rng shenanigans are at play
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
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 ?||
Ok I just got the "Family Secret" achievement
First of all
The credits song is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Facts
My question is
||in fact after that, when you speak to Orpheus, zag asks him if he can sing it again||
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?
It's from || Extreme Measures ||
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 ||
i dont think so
Okay was just making sure cause
Holy CRAP he's hard
|| And I mean he even has a 3rd phase like jeeze ||
epilogue isnt gated behind any difficulty, no
I'm just confused overall with it
cause there's so much info that's all over the place
they've largely left high difficulty stuff as something the player chases after for personal satisfaction
|| Max out the gods, do extreme measure 4, do like a bazillion runs ||
I got no concrete answer
lol
nah em4 isnt a requirement, i didnt even try it til after i did the epilogue
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
I've met the requirements for Ares' favor but his hearts aren't unlocking smh
Same with Hermes' bet
rng and stuff probably won't let you get the dialogue
yeeeah
beating ||charon twice|| isnt a req to max out hermes
just saying its not that so you probably just need to talk more
hermes involves his keepsake
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
I've already maxed out Hermes since he's my favorite, it's just the fated list hasn't ticked the charon fights yet
I think it's Nyx left, for almost all contract points
^
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
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)
I suppose so
Though you will need to do a number of runs after the ending to start the epilogue as well
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.
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
You have a few more conversations with Dusa after that and then talk to her in the bedroom
i think i missed that in my playthrough too. nt that it particularly irks me
I already had that conversation, I think. Dusa's maxed in my codex.
But nothing happened about her and Nyx
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||
Yeah, you need I think 10 runs fully cleared after meeting all other criteria
See
what are all the other criteria?
Theres a guide on steam that has them
aah
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)||
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
Normally once you meet all the requirements you should be able to start it right away
Basically a ||follow-up to the ending convo between you, him and perse||
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||
||he calls you slippery or something i forgot||
hmmmmmmmm
Anyway he calls you something
well he's def called me a lot of things haha
but maybe i haven't gotten that convo yet
Yeah but ||this convo is more positive||
🙂
This should be the first convo you have with him after the ending though
||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
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.
How i can get the ||Epilogue|| is the only one i need.
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?
EM4
I cant give nectar to Ares and Aphrodite what i can do?
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
then you'll just have to wait for him to aknowledge it
that was a long time ago
But you're unable to give him the final Ambrosia?
yup
maybe there's a second trigger, I don't know
a long time ago I fulfilled that mission and many times I grabbed boons de ares and nothing
Then rng is not on your side
i dont think its rng, i will literally have done 50-70 runs after i finish that
Then maybe report it with ingame F10
the only god that I could give him Ambrosia was Zeus, now I tried Athena and I can't
So Aphrodite is married, not like its gonna stop me 
I mean, aphrodite will probably stop you 
Aphrodite is married to Hephaitus right?
yep
What is that everyone called “Aspect of truck”?
I completed all the missions of the gods and I still cannot give them ambrosia, could it be a bug?
can someone help me
im trying to get the last aspect of exagraph
aspect of|| lucifer ||
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
same here
It's been like 20 runs
and I maxed out zag aspect and put points in others so i should see him say the phrase honestly
Did you spend 5 blood on rail?
And then you need to talk with zeus to trigger the conv
Just so i dont waste eternity pressing zr, is there a trick to gettubf zag giood at the harp
Spend an eternity pressing zr
So giving ||thanatos|| ambrosia doesn't mean i have to romance him? I asked before but got different answers
At some point he ||will wait for you in your bedroom and you will be given the choice to romance him or not||
so i jut keeep prressingf this play button untill, zag gets guud>?
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??
Ambrosia's kind of a pain to grind for so id say keep it
Does each character only accept one or is it like nectar and I can gift multiple over time?
Same as nectar
Yowch, ok, thank you!!
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
||and those other uses look so cute, I really ought to save for those||
Thank you again! You’re very helpful
Youre welcome lad
you sure its 200 because im 200 in niw. theees not like an additional disdcccusiom or som3eething after unlocking harp fristor something?
Well orpheus will comment on every progress you make
ajh i seee so i need to do run first/
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
Ah no you gotta talk to orpheus too
right. well hopefully next time i do a run orpheos plclaims me A god of music afger that
/:
iirc he'll ||quickly tell you how to play it|| and then you can go ape wild on the lyre
ok cool
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? 
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
So you cant go back to the cottage after finishing the story?
Nope
Yeah I wish they let us but...
Also, I being able to get the loyalty card completely random? I dont think I even had the option in my last 15h+ or so of playtime.
about 20% chance, but only in mid-biome shops, can't appear before a boss room.
^ it's a 22% chance to have the opportunity to get one
My friends
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.......
god imagine Hades singing
anyway
is Hypnos literally the last thing Thanatos will talk about
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
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?
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
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"""
I thought that arrow was purple
but then.. no, in greek mythology Zeus granted Artemis virginity for eternity so, can’t romance with her lol
Artemis is aromantic and asexual so yeah
you can ‘romance’ ||Thanatos, Megaera and Dusa|| if you wanted to know
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?
was an exaggeration, its very likely Hypnos’ bond comes before that
I finished the game pretty much
got the epilogue
aaa so just the epilogue
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
but a lot of time was spent before v1.0 so you probably need way less than that to get to epilogue
i finished the epilogue, did like 80 attempts (15 victory), 90 hours in, and i m still going to unlock side quest
thats probably understandable
when v1.0 dropped i already beat the game like 30 times or something lol
Zeus didn’t grant her virginity. It was her own choice.
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|| ?
same here tbh
