I am gonna share an idea but its verrrrrrrrry long
It will be two very big messages.. if that's okay with everyone
Perhaps a mod can let me know if that will be okay? It exceeds the maximum character limit (2000) for a discord message
I believe that it is around 2400 characters in length... I dont intend to flood, I just have a really cool idea that I truly believe is worth sharing and that other folks might actually appreciate and really dig
Maybe @cold canopy or @vagrant nova could let me know if this will be alright for me to do? It would be two giant messages :)
Entire thing in spoiler tags, also.
Maybe share the idea via a pastebin link or the like?
Ahhhhhh smart!
Thanks, didnt think of that
Okay, here it is.. Spoilers therein! https://pastebin.com/BqpjJjTf
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
Let me know what you think! It's a fun idea I think ☺️ ☺️
Back to trying to escape hell while I wait for some feedback 💩
you might want to finish the story before getting back to your draft. It's full of ideas and enthusiasm, but obviously the game has a few surprises for you yet 😉
^
This is true!
I'm not spoiling Orpheus & Achilles sub-plots, but... hang in there 
It would be wild if something akin to that was a thing, though. Really fun idea
Ah ok
Also, Cerberus isnt inside the house this time I'm in Hades' House :(((( I am sad.
I pet him every time...
Hahaha I'm past that
22 times iirc
Yep 22 pets, 23 escapes. No Cerberus this time
if i had a heart attack and lost consciousness on finishing a run, i’m pretty sure i would still go up to cerberus and pet him by muscle memory alone
I would like to get spoiled on one aspect of the game, though.. if I successfully escape, do I get hit with end credits or do I go back to Hades' House so that I can continue with the story and with completing everything?
you get to continue playing
If the game just ends I'm gonna just intentionally fail at escaping until I finish
Ah ok!
np
This game is such a beautiful masterpiece. Right up there with Hollow Knight. Supergiant nailed it
Ugh one more spoiler request.. am I going to be able to get enough titan blood to mad all the weapons' stats?
I've been putting them all into Stygius (I do love all of the weapons.. Stygius was just the first one I got pretty good with.
Awesome
"Zeus... his beard may be luxurious but he's as much a hold as you are!"
Hades revealing his true priorities
Beard insecurity
zeus is really the god of making everyone else insecure about their beards
MFW || Extreme Measures Theseus is in a chariot with machine guns: || OH HELL NAW. WHERE IS MY HOLY WATER
Is there a fast way to change a run's seed without dying?
No
lmao
weird, I ran a run where I had an inferal gate and messed up. Restarted and the seed changed but couldn't get it to do it again.
i’m now imagining Theseus trying to use holy water on zag (as he’s a “fiend”) and zag trying the same thing, and whole battle just turns into an awkward water balloon fight with asterius just facepalming in the background
@void agate the first boon should have been the same
it was not
okay idk
if you used give up and didn’t switch keepsakes or something it should have been the same
after each room, a new seed is generated so the 2nd room won’t necessarily be the same
wait until ||Alecto berates you for teaching words to Tisiphone||
Oh no
Omg
I finally got Than’s romance scene last night 🥺🥺🥺
The 180 hours it took was worth it
"Zeus... his beard may be luxurious but he's as much a hold as you are!"
@primal yacht hahaha I just saw that too a little bit ago it was a great moment
First sign of insecurity I've seen from hades
wait until ||Alecto berates you for teaching words to Tisiphone||
@marble frost isnt it meg
meg was second in talking to me about this, and in a cool way, not angry or anything, so there's that
How do I use spoiler tags
|| at both end of the message
||I beat the game ten times and got the ending.. is there anything after||
||hahahahahahaha Dusa whisper gossiping with Meg is absolute gold||
Dusa is so cute..
@thorny helm yes, a lot
Why sometimes i cannot go into extreme measures 4 ?
Have you unlocked it?
you need to unlock em4 ?
yeah with the renovation shades
next to hades's desk?
where you can buy stuff to renovate the house
it'll be on the first page for 100 GS
Ok, so Poseidon is the only god who's last heart I haven't unlocked
From what I understand requirements are to have a fish in the inventory when you encounter him first time in run?
I just ||brought Persephone back to the underworld||, is this the true ending?
that's credits but there's a whole post-game epilogue hours left of story still to go
I need to grind for more Friendship Juice ugh
ah good, I'm happy to hear there's still more for me to do outside of the pact of punishment and fate stuff
absolutely
I mean, the game's not really complete unless you've gotten ||the last rank at the resources director all of the renovations done||
What IS the best way to farm for friendship juice to give to your friends for friendship and dating reasons
I mean, the game's not really complete unless you've gotten ||
the last rank at the resources directorall of the renovations done||
@marble frost based
so approximately how many runs does it take in between getting the true ending and unlocking the epilogue?
i’ve completed 4 runs since then and have yet to start the whole epilogue quest so to speak
you need max hearts with most of the olympians to start the epilogue quest
Is there some extra requirement for Poseidon's 7 heart dialogue?
I did his Prophesy, caught over 60 Fishes, caught 1 Fish prior to first encountering him in my run and still nothing.
How much do you have to practice the Lyre fyi? And waht counts as "practice"?
you need to interact with it ||over 200 times||
|| Whats the renovation for nyx for the one that requires darkness ||
It's for her and Chaos' quest
Yeah isnt a renovation really, is their favor
Yeah but where / when does the actual turn in prompt for it show up
like isn't it under the contractor
Should be yes
Is there any benefit to forging bonds?
No
Other than advancing the story as much as possible?
With certain characters there is a benefit
The ones that provide companions?
Oh yeah with them it's just one ambrosia ig
Yeah you dont need to "bond"
Anyway to get the epilogue you need to forge some bonds
Oh well that
Ok
Also is there any trick to catching very rare fish?
Keeping your hand very close to the button/key
The faster. The higher chance for rare fish
Ok, I'm over 80 fish so far, still none that are very rare.
It's <0.3s reaction time iirc
You need a perfect catch to have a 5% chance for rare fish
I just checked, I've caught 184 fish.
I have like 420 
Perfect catch? Is that anticipating the bobber going under and hitting the button right then?
just have good reactions
Ok
A bit of a tip, there are 3 maximum fake bobs afaik, so after that, is biting guaranteed
average human reaction time is 0.2-0.25 seconds so if you pay really close attention you should be able to get it at least some of the time
I bet it's because I've been listening to the audio so I don't get faked out by the bobs.
There's probably a delay
i pay attention to the flash
when the fish bites there is a white flash of light above the bobber
but fake bites dont have that flash
Oh man I borrowed money from charon and ended up causing a fight and I got stomped so badly
One thing you learn from a lot of rogulikes: dont "borrow" from shopkeepers
I absolutely LOVE when you do that and the music comes to a screehcing halt with a record scratching noise.
And then Zag goes "Whoops..."

Yeha that was a neat touch
I cant find orpheus contract in the admin office. I accidently rush passed the nix dialogue and im not sure if i have to do something else to get the contract. Any ideas on what to do
idk if this counts as a spoiler, but i made it to the surface after beating the story, giving one of those funny ending screens. Zag did a mfing BACKFLIP into the Styx and then held up a peace sign as it took him in
never seen that in 65 hours
Pretty sure that came with the update from like 2 days ago
Cause I have never seen that before either
well it's an amazing easter egg. the little things SG put into this game is what makes it GOTY for me
facts
Omfg???
First EM3 run... Absolutely LOVE it !
i am still SO bad at both EM2 and EM3, but my god are they fun fights
EM runs are so fun!! Im curious as to what the last one is 
forgive me I'm not that familiar with gaming terms, what does EM mean?
zag just did the flip/peace combo again. i think this might happen every time you beat Hades after getting the ending, or at least very commonly
extreme measures @empty stump
EM= extreme measures on the pact of punishment
AH thank you makes sense
btw does anyone know the exact requirements for guan yu?
I've tried everything to unlock that bloody aspect but achilles won't let me unlock it yet
completed the game story, run through all dialogue options with every person in the house of hades, have like 15 titan bloods used on weapons, even tried maxing out the first aspect of the spear, still nothing
Achilles is shy
it's random when it's given to you, unfortunately
Random 
I've done like 10+ suicide runs after running out of dialogue options with him, god damn
my luck must be atrocious
Are you petting doggo before attempting to escape?
always pet the doggo
Good
There are people that don't pet him?
the shades in the depth of tartarus
that's why they're there
didn't pet enough dogs
This seems like the most appropriate channel to ask:
The literal only thing standing between me and completely 100%-ing the game is ||catching a second Voidskate to complete the codex|| and I am losing my mind trying to do it
Are there any tricks I'm missing? My current methodology is to ||always run Conch and try to rush to Huge Catch (removing the fish spawn cooldown), then spamming Light of Ixions to get the most chances. Besides that is there anything? ANYTHING?? I can do to push the odds a little more in my favor? Does running Cosmic Egg increase Chaos Gate spawn rates at all?||
There are people that don't pet him?
Sadly yes, monsters
@grand laurel no. Chaos egg doesn't increase the chance, just keep trying with the shell, is purely rng
Big tiddy goth stepmom
Knees go weak every time she says "child"
Hades: Nooooo! You can’t use a Boon to cheese two of the bosses!
Zagreus: haha Athena reflect weapon go nyoom
In good news: I can successfully beat Tartarus and Asphodel’s bosses without dying once now!
“What about Elysium?” ....hah.
||"I KNEW IT! IT'S JUST CAPES!!!"||
Woo! Orpheus ||Released!||
I think I gotta do more Friendship Juice before I can ||let Patroclus go||
Question is there any way of getting the fight with charon?
Just visit his shop more. I've noticed it won't spawn in the shop before an arena though
But is there anyway to gaurentie it?
Merci
@balmy verge
wait a heck
you can romance thanatos?
isn't he like
your half brother pretty much lol
i do realise that gods in the real mythology was pretty radical in terms of having sex with anyone so maybe it's not that weird
zeus certainly got around
quick question: are both boons in 2-boons-room elite/higher grade?
or is it both low grade or is the first one have higher rarity than the 2nd one?
Hes your stepbrother
Its totally fine 
Technically meg is your stepbrother too and I dont see you complaining
zag being raised by nyx doesn't mean that he thought of himself as than's brother imo
i saw them as best friends, one of which was raised by the other's mom too
Correct
it's not like there are other motherly figures in the house lol
Hades best mom
When Hades disappears from his Desk of Bureaucracy it's because he's going to yoga class.
That's where he gets all the capes
LuLu Lethemon
"Prices so outrageous, you'll forget all about them."
I've done like about 40 runs now, i think zeus might have commented on my rail already but i cant rmb
How likely is it that he has 😭
pretty likely tbh
same
however, you MAY just be the most unlucky person ever, and he really hasnt
but i doubt it
Alright, so i can just do any weapon but try to get zeus boons as much as possible and he'll give me the chant right
should
idk im actually not quite there yet lol but i assume he has commented on it already
I think my mistake was that i invested 3 titan bloods in zag rail, and 2 each for the other 2 aspects
ahhh
yea
afaik you have to invest 5 into the OTHER ones, excluding zag aspect
methinks
Rippp i only invested that on my last run i think ah
Well HOPEFULLY i'll get it soon
Thanks for the help!!

Technically meg is your stepbrother too and I dont see you complaining
@unreal dagger wait what
besides
dusa best girl
no
@aphneiios I don’t see how someone who played Hades could conclude Meg is Zagreus’ foster sister. There is no evidence in the game to support that. Nyx is Meg’s boss and advisor.
Yes you posted that, but when you have multiple people arriving to the same conclusion
It means something
yes and greg concedes in the thread there is some dialogue that can lead to that but its not the intended interpretation.
i just googled it
and they're saying that megaera and her sisters parents are Uranus and nyx
There are different sources
who's Uranus again? Except for that one joke
Uranus is a tian afaik
okay so nyx boned the sky
given how people attack each other over these sort of topics i am just inherently wary about people labeling the relationships in a manner theyre not intended to be lmao
i dont mean here but. yknow.
that whole thread did actually lead to a bunch of drama on twitter
So let people think of meg what they want
yeah agreed
but like
gods aren't exactly great at doing morally right things
so i wouldn't put incest past them
yep
well no but people like to attribute their morals to beings who were not meant to be paragons of good morals
didn't he have some lines about that in the game lol
And hades literally banged his foster niece so
In the game is different tatz
In the game nyx actually gives mom vibes
Not actually mythology
shes a general caretaker
and poseidon is the dad of the bull of minos right
But the game personification
No
He isnt
Pos sentenced the bull of mino to the labyrinth
Yes
to a king
i mean realistically speaking none of the gods are innocent
Correct
Persephone is literally zags mom and foster cousin lmao

Persephone is daugher of demeter, who up to a point is zags foster aunt
Making persephone his foster cousin
Also his mother
yep
pretty irredeemable guy
but man he does have a cool beard
so it's all good
oh yeah athena is like
super awful
the thing she did to medusa
oh boy
if i remember correctly
Just like some sources say aphro is a the Daughter of zeus and dione. But others say she was born from uranus nuts after cronos cut them
The thing to remember about Greek Gods is that behaviorally they're not above humans, so much as they're humans turned up to 13.
More vindictive, more petty, more passionate, etc
@unreal dagger there's a great chart of their family tree
Lovely
the point of the gods is that they have very human flaws in an exaggerated manner, yes. which is why i dont get when people call the gods in hades more humanized, because thats. the point of myth. humanization. i guess they mean theyre more toned down from myth
And it's all a normal tree except on the side there's "Cronos' Genitals"
With a dotted line all the way down the tree
It wasn't cronos genitals
Ra jerked himself off to give birth to his children back when there was nothing
guys keep it clean..
Ah sorry yeah Ouranos
ah sorry
the mods are going to come flying in
Also Persephone's dad is Zeus
Not in all sources
it's pretty hard to keep it clean when talking mythology though
So Zeus is both Zag's uncle and grandpa
yeah but its still a family friendly server that doesnt talk about inappropriate topics lol
aight gotcha
The one used in the game, persephone dad is a human
And Hades was banging his cousin.
Yeah they definitely tried to where possible make the family tree less of a series of rectangles
Yeah
It's still pretty Wuthering Heights though 😂

Cronos after seeing aphro raise from his dad nuts

I doubt it
Game is pretty much over already
but a man can dream

A man can

Boy literally said, screw yall. I'm getting out of here
||Finally got the epilogue, Havent even gotten Rail 4th aspect lol. Was a bit disappointed and I expected more but it was good 🙂 ||
i'm on my way there right now
oh i also fought harsh conditions 3 or whatever it's called again
||the one where the bosses upgrade||
||oh lawd i did not expect mr. miniguns ||
||Im sure you'll enjoy level 4 of that 🙂 ||
oh boy i cant wait
Extreme measures
ah lol
i did beat the third extreme boss first try tho
in some ways it's easier than the normal version tbh
depends on the run
oh ya totally
i just had a really nutty spear one
with zeus
lots of lightning
very very frightening
or just have a cheesy dodge build
I do
There's a couple of designs there of the greek gods that are really cool
any reason for that or just because eh
cause sometimes i just forget to play it myself
for months
Computer crapped itself
ah heck
I'm currently playing hades in the lowest resolution
oof
Like if I post a pic right now you wouldn't notice the difference unless you were actually looking for differences
ah well it's good to stay positive y'know
i'll cheer you on

what's that emote from lol
ah i need to finish that game
was a bit thrown off by the fact that it was football basketball
i went in blind
lovely 
is the prophecy for charon have to be consecutive runs or is it runs where I just beat him twice?
You have to win two consecutive fights against him. Doesn't matter when those fights are as long as you don't lose to him in between
does it matter if If I use a death defiance in them?
cuz I beat him consecutively and It didnt give me the prophecy fufilled
Hi guys I have an issue with "The Queen's Plan" Fate completion. At this point I'm thinking my game is bugged or something.
which one is a queens plan?
The one where you need to get affinity with Olympians to see ||Persephone's Plan to get the Epilogue||
wtf I never got that and I still got the epilogue
I am full Affinity with Zeus/Poseidon/Athena/Aphrodite/Ares/Artemis/Dyonisos and Hermes I've already finished the game 66 times
well you cant get full affinity with demeter till the epilogue
I know yes but nothing seems to happen, I am beyond bored of spamming runs after runs, I still have few fates locked but I feel like since I've played the game so much before 1.0 maybe it's blocked or something.
||The Queen's Plan
The son of the god of the dead shall someday inspire Queen Persephone to develop a plan that might settle the score between the House of Hades and Olympus.
Reward 5 
- Grow closer with more olympians so the plan can unfold ||
is demeter at the final heart?
Yep
maybe you just have to wait for the dialogue with hades
maybe max out the queen and hades?
Already maxed out as well
i've done the epilogue and i never got that one
I can DM you my keepsake
i just got the one for the epilogue itself after i got enough olympians to max hearts
like the inviting one
Ye, I really don't know what i'm missing out, but after 100+ hours on the game I'd like to finish it
Is hades still giving new dialogue?
Nope
Quick question, do i get only one chance per run to trigger zeus's chant dialogue, bcs i seem to notice he only talks to me once per run the other times i get his boon i just go straight to the picking screen
ruetorubble normally yes you can't increase anything with a god twice in a run
Ah okay, that's annoying but thank you! I'll try dying in early chambers to hopefully get rng to give me the chant sometime soon
I have the aspect of Arthur and Goron Yu. How do I get another aspect?
To Unlock aspects you need to finish the game with the weapon at least a few times if I remember
Ahhhhh. How many you think it takes?
ok.
gotcha
how do you get the stickers from cerberus and hypnos?
well for cerb just pet him a lot
for hypnos, you need to progress his lines with thanatos
just talk with both of them a lot
ty
I done goofed and spent all my nectar on diamonds. So I’ve finished the main story but have many character interactions almost unprogressed. So for example, Hypnos dialogue when giving him Nectar only makes sense if I’ve never successfully escaped.
Does it bother anyone else that Zag has a black eye when Hades doesn’t?
zag has a green eye from his mom and a red eye from his dad
Yeah. But his dads red eyes do not look like his.
The black sclera
I have a hunch on something. Guess I’ll find out as I progress the story.
Zag's red eye and both of Hades' eyes have black sclera.
Hades' eyes are just smaller.
ugh, i can't figure out how to unlock the ||epilogue. maxed hearts with 7 gods, maxed hearts with persephone and hades, exhausted all dialogue, talked to demeter a lot, talked to zeus a lot||
Regarding the Olympian God's favours I'm kinda confused as to what I need to do to unlock some of these hearts
everyone got their own mini quest
Is Ares's not supposed to unlock after completing the prophecy?
It's marked off the fated list since he talked to me about completing it but the heart is still locked
talk some more with him
did you gift ambrosia to people?
Already got the line about how much nectar/ambrosia I've gifted yeah
Just got bonds with 18 out of 25
i got all 
I'm almost done with all the gods
Oh uhh one more question while you're here, any way to make hypnos' heart unlock quicker?
nope
I haven't done him yet so I don't know
I guess most things in Hades can be solved by "spam more runs"
And talk to everyone
only way to do it quicker, would be suicide runs, but you cant talk to thanatos if you do this
yep.
at the end, most of the favors go down to "play the game"
I’ve made it to ||the epilogue||! 
congratz
lol yep

And of course I’ve been working on hearts with everyone except olympians 

Is there a number a hearts I need with Ares before I’ll get his prophecy?
I have almost 20k kills...
I think you just receive it through rng dialogue
Welp I guess I’ll see y’all in a year or two
that is exactly how I feel about getting the shield secret aspect
For his favor you need to reach the locked heart
Just finished this video. Curious to hear some thoughts on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpo-htThpYI

love superbunnyhop
omg did dusa just woo-hoo me
Hey to get Spear of Guanyu, the requirements are 5 aspects, do they mean 5 aspects in the spear or overall because I am still not getting it
Overall
Also even if you fulfill all the criteria for story bits (not just hidden aspects) it might still require a few runs to trigger it
Due to how characters can sometimes be off duty/outside the house or progress another convo chain for that return
So I just watched the Overly Sarcastic Productions video on Dionysus and I just got the background for the joke where ||Zag and Dio try to convince Orpheus theyre the same guy||
Yeah, the Orphism Easter egg was super neat
Especially how the hymn || incorporates stuff from both the myth and game ||
Its such a cool touch. Has me motivated to finish the Story line for Orpheus and Eurydice
Gotta watch that now
omfg im so mad, i got into hades and then i died when he was 1/3 hp at second phase
used nemesis aspect spear
and was having a good run
Nemesis aspect Spear? Isn't nemesis a Stygian Blade aspect?
lmfao was gonna say the same
Also am I just getting juked by rng, I have all aspects except the hidden aspect of the adamant rail. I go for Zeus anytime I do a rail run but he doesn't seem to notice.
did u invest the needed blood?
Yea I think I'd just use zag or eris anyway but I would like the achievement
how do I unlock the stupid last posideon heart
Catch a fish before you encounter him
Assuming you caught a lot of fishes beforehand, including legendaries
does ||hades|| give you special dialogue if you ||confront and/or beat him without any boons?||
Is that even possible?
It has been done. Someone in this discord did it.
I don't think there's dialog for it.
Yeah there is dialogue for it
If you wash away most of your boons at the fountains and also avoid getting them
I think there was a bug before preventing the dialogue from playing if you purged boons
since the game for some reason thought you still had boons even though it's very much not the case
0 boons is possible
it's just really damn hard
(I'm not counting hammers as boons btw)
pre-nerf I've gotten Chiron to Hades boonless (sans hammers)
so it's definitely possible and people who are much better at the game than me have completed boonless runs before
from memory there's at least one person who has attempted possibly even completed a 32 heat boonless run
yeah basically there was one time where ||when hades died he was like “damn those blasted olympians for helping you” or something so i wondered if he would say something different if zagreus actually got 0 help on a run||
what
i start
get to the fury boss fight
suddenly all three are there
when I killed meg the others disappeared but man that ruined my run lmao
he's not wrong
Just got extreme measures Theseus. What kind of abomination am I looking at
😭
Omg EM3 Theseus is hilarious. Love how Supergiant tread that fine line of ridiculous and character building
They reaped the rewards of making Theseus so up his own behind that you totally can accept that he's gallivanting around, the boss design is perfect
Up to my 9th fight with hades I've heard he dosen';t fight you but is that on 10 or?
10th
Ty
This doesn’t have to do with the story but it’s spoilers so. Which is the best ||companion||?
I believe so
10 win is were you want to do high heat as possible 
personally not gonna chese it
So does anyone know which ||companion|| is the strongest?
||I just saw a reaper scythe come out and kill Hade's saying "Reap What you saw" Woah that was cool was that triggered by the Demeter aid I had?||
I think there are more than one viable companion. You may even discover that you like different ones at different heat
Well which companion is terrible and should never be used. Except Skelly since that’s sorta obvious.
||I have used Mort, Battie and Shady|| and liked all of them
Right now I’m using ||Battie||
I assume ||Mort|| is better right?
Since more damage
more damage isn't always better
Mort is awkward to land sometimes, especially with heat modifiers
and can face up poorly against the invulnerability points of bosses
think what you're using is super solid already
||bat|| technically does more dmg
Since I just need to give her ||ambrosia|| and ill get it
because the area is larger
Eh I can never land all the hits from ||bat||
i've barely used that one
I think Rib is probs the best considering you can just land save damage, get to a save position, something like that
Wait it has an aoe?
I think it hits two targets
oh mb I misread
and if there is only one it hits one target twice
carry on
Yeah the aoe made me stop using mort a lot
Battie is great against Hydra and Theseus+Minotaur since it has multiple hits
Umm wtf i just fought charon that was so unexpected
I dropped mort after Charon walked out of it and I suffered two death defiances
yeah you can land hits on a lot of heads in second head phase
Yeah Charon is a chunky boy, but he is quite slow
His health is so hard to carve down
I honestl only go against him when I have Athena dash
since he has a lot of reflectable projectiles
I had lucifer on me
plus a long range weapon
I only go against him when I am prepared to lose the round
Too much of a hassle tbh
Melee is just really finnicky against his chunk melees
Oh so he's pretty hard then, it was so random i just thought wow gold
plus ||you can't even summon SKelly in the fight||
Against Charon just use shield and Athena dash
Oh crap didnt know that lol
Then it’s easy
But then again I dont ever use the thing
You’ll lose like 1 death defiance at most
yea shield takes a while but is efficient at least
I mean, shield and Athena dash sounds already quite close to a run winning combo
so being able to take down chonky Charon is basically a matter of damage
if your build isn't quite so defensible you kinda need to dodge him damage
I hate it when characters just start not showing up just when you’re about to give them ambrosia
How do yall catch a legendary fish
Idk if it's bad luck or my reaction but I havent caught anything
you have a tiny window
for perfect catch
my gf told me existed and i woulda never figured it out on my own
would you like some tips?
||Perfect catch is 0.34 second window after plop. The main things to look out for:
- React to the flash of light
- React to the PLOP sound
- The fishing game picks a random number of bobs (when the ball dips into the water) between 1 and 4. On that number it will trigger it. That means if you count the number of bobs, you will always know the 4th one will be the real one. You can use this information to help make you more alert to when to press. After 2 bobs I basically am very alert because it's either 3 or 4)
Perfect catch is basically +1 to rarity of fish (kinda)||
hope that helps
just beat the elysium boss battle 13 minutes in im so proud of myself
I’m using Dusa’s summon rn it’s actually really good!
It has a lot of uses unlike specific uses of the others
And nice
Huh will try that fishing tip out thanks
Also it's sad how nobody talks about Sisy companion :(
I like it
hilarious design as wel
also I killed a bouldy with a bouldy in one of my runs
HILARIOUS
I wonder if Shady is a good companion
I mean it’s kind of weak but
It drops stuff
I'm still playing at a heat level where I feel like I can get away with greed
maybe I'll change it up when I hit heat 20
just the automatic death
i defeated hades
this run was without the pact of punishment btw, if I had even a little bit of heat I doubt I could complete it within 20-30 minutes lmao
Oh right
I feel like ||Hades’ call|| is underrated. (Don’t click on the spoiler thingy unless you’ve beat Hades 10 times and advanced the story)
Well I’ve seen nobody use it online
After some reasearch, it seems to indicate the perfect catch still only has around 5 percent chance to catch a legendary fish
So Ive just been incredibly unlucky
oh yeah perfect catch isn't a guaranteed legendary
but if you look at it, normal catch gives you normal fish with small chance to upgrade to rare
and perfect catch gives rare, small chance to upgrade to legendary
so it's kinda like perfect catch is +1 fish rarity
||Can you listen to "In the blood" again in the game? After the epilogue I encountered them in asphodels and they were singing it, but it has only happened once||
||the music box can play it, if you paid for the soundtrack; I think it’s 5 diamonds||
||I know! I bought it as soon as i could! but sadly its only the instrumental version, I was looking for the version they sing ||
Oh dang ._. Then probably not 😦 not sure myself though, maybe someone else knows for sure

Weave their ...
think that's correct
is there a way to keep track of what weapon you used to beat what boss
other than the pact?
since when did theseus have the final boss's green-wave-radiating attack thingy?
this was on zero heat idk what triggered it but ive never seen it before
they added that in 1.0
- Theseus and The Minotaur: they have learned a new tag-team maneuver (once you reach a certain point...)
from #hades-patch-notes
they have two different combo attacks
i imagine "a certain point" in their dialogues
added to make them seem more like a team rather than two individual fighters
yeah
man i really like how the game gradually introduces you to boss mechanics
mostly just for how elysium is built i suppose, im not sure how fast the progression on that dialogue would be so i suppose you'd probably be encountering final boss before you get to the point where they can use the tag team attacks
i think it's the same concept, but the way the game is laid out allows the final boss's mechanics to actually help inform earlier boss's new mechanics, in a reverse way
another example is MM skullcrusher's wave, since you can only get the pact after defeating final boss
hey guys , is there anybody who can tell me how to unlock the hidden weapon aspects? not the normal ones. I have checked dozens of articles and videos which were not helpfull. I have unlocked every weapons aspects exept the hidden ones. Maxed out 2 weapons but still achillies is simply not talking to me about unlocking them? There are absolutely no guides whatsoever about unlocking them. Please help out. Thanks
there's a pinned post here
to get the first one you need to unlock 5 different, individual aspects
wheres the pact?
what pact? the pact of punishment? You open it every time before starting a run
is that where i can check what bosses i beat with each weapon?
just a reminder, the Pact is only available once you've won at least once
yes, sadly you can't know your progress with each weapon until you win at least once, or have hellmode on which applies the pact right away
@drifting citrus @ fan works comment, but nyx wasnt interested in that manner
she saw it as a business exchange
besides we all know the only person saying that truly is just me 🥴

NGL This game simultaneously pisses me off to no end and makes me wanna play more
||I got the queen back, IG just unlocking hearts with everyone, maxing all weapon aspects, unlocking all the upgrades the contractor can do and... beating the game on max heat with each weapon is all that is left + all the fated prophecy quests ofc.||
so... not much, really.
don't forget maxing the resource director : https://hades.gamepedia.com/Resource_Director
Whoops. Forgot. No cursing
Junk.
That bites
Double crap. I also have ||Companions to unlock!?!? and I still haven't fought Charon!||
I still need to beat the secret boss.
||Which one is the secret boss?||
||Charon||
Awh frick. ||I still have to find and kill him||
||You can't kill him. He's Charon. I feel bad even triggering the fight tbh, given all he's done for me. But his BF made a bet with him and I am the instrument, I guess xDD||
I mean that entire story arc is great
It is. I wanted more of it!
you get more dialogue regarding that fight that implies he doesnt resent you for it or anything and simply considers it a business transaction for taking the pouch
so you dont need to feel bad for it, and zag even has a line to challenge him where he playfully goes "hey wanna fight?"
Idk if this is the place to ask, Chaos asked me to take the Cosmic Egg to final boss fight, do I need to keep it equipped for all 4 stages or just the last one
into the final boss
You can switch it on when you get to Styx.
Thanks
Fun fact, I tried completing that quest during ||my tenth ‘win’ (right before the epilogue, which I wasn’t expecting) and it did not trigger||
Hi, I'm trying to fullfill the prophecy ||Family Reunion|| and I have done all the condition but the last one but I don't have the exclamation mark on the involved characters 😕 What am I missing?
RNG, probably
thanks, let's try some more runs
Indeed, finaly got it 🙂
is there any screenshot list for the themes?
If you check #h1-victory-boasting you can check pretty much all of them
@low edge
Just scroll
thanks dio ❤️
Guys, I remember that during Early Access I ||did both the eurydice+orpheus and nyx+chaos questlines, but they got resetted after 1.0, and although I already have access to the administrative chamber I can't seem to complete them (and I already gave all the nectar to these characters before the bond thing). Do I just have to wait for a prompt, do I have to do something or is it somehow broken?||

@grand tiger PS: I just ||brought Persephone back to the underworld, so it's been 10 successful runs (and 2 failed ones) since I picked up to play 1.0||

Except, ||they didn't get reset?||
Except, ||they didn't get reset?||
@unreal dagger well then I don't know what happened. Maybe it's a bug, similar to another thing that happened to me, I had to unlock the fists again 'cause they got locked somehow. Hopefully I'm not locked from doing these because of the bug ._.
Are you sure you didnt start a new save?
Hello, this is a question about the romance routes. || Can you romance both Than & Meg at the same time? I've already completed Than's hearts, and now I'm with Meg in Zag's room, but I'm worried it'll have a bad outcome if I go to her as well? ||
Are you sure you didnt start a new save?
@unreal dagger No, my aspects were still there, my keepsakes and mirror were still there (I had - and still have all of them, except for the new ones of course - just got the persephone one so, yay), the only things I lost were the fists, ||dusa's companion (the other companions were there), the lyre quest, orpheus+eurydice quest and now that i think of it maybe I didn't actually finish the chaos+nyx one, but i'm sure I did finish the orpheus questline, because i remember getting the ambrosia.||
Sounds like a bug tbh
@unreal dagger i'm fine with that bug as long as the game lets me get back what I lost, and most of it i did. Just don't want to miss out on the story questlines though =/
uhm i was going through the pinned messages for the arms aspects, but what's the ||aspect of Guan Yu||? I'm really confused 
The spear hidden one
ohhh
The one you need to unlock the rest
ohh thank you!
how do you even dodge hades spin?
||To the person who asked about romancing Than and Meg: apparently there's a duo bedroom scene. I wanna get that||
Double dash as soon as you see the white outline
hands dealt 125 damage each
Go in whatever direction he isn't.
The spin moves him.
yeah but cant you i-frame dash it
you can
You can
then why try running away it sounds much less safe
i just died to it
trying to double dash
i did
wasnt trying to get fancy
the range of it
is just absurd
you need to dodge in the opposite direction of where he is going to go forward to
not really i dodge into his attacks all the time its the timing you need to get down
and its sometimes annoying to tell where
Yeah is the iframes not the range
It's safer to get further away because your timing can be more flexible. But i-framing is totally viable and not too hard either.
I think it's just experience tbh
Do a test run and dont attack him at all, just try dodging his attacks, learns his patterns and timing
It is experience
it really is since the more times you fight HADES the more you can get that timing right
you'll start seeing the white line wind up for example before the spin..
or pay attention to his footsteps on the ground before he attacks when he goes invisible
You will even know hes going to spin before he evens starts the spin flash
Is all experience
oh really that part i don't know but i feel like i've been aware of it in some way
cause like for his stab its obvious since he'll just.. well charge you
In phase 2 he doesnt sometimes
Like he throws 2 skulls then charges right away without a wind-up
or if you're like me you can divine dash in to things like his boiling blood and wack it back at em
actually yeah having divine dash helps with buffing iframes too doesn't it?
So if you know hes doing that, once he throws the 2 skulls you'll just dodge the stab
Yes
yeah
Divine dash is the best dash in the game
Since you can dash strike while you have iframes
it really is 
Unless you're speedrunning
really? how so?
I'm having a lot of fun with Poseidon's atm
because of the push? or the speed of the dash?
i rarely use it so i'm clueless on speedrunning
Because of the aoe and the push yes
oh hm, interesting
oh the real reason why i'm here. but yeah i'm trying to max out all relationships
I can't seem to unlock Aphrodite, Hermes and Demeter...
Hypnos too
Do you use approval process?
No, the one that blocks choices from boons
oh. well F no I have not

Did you romance with at least 2 people?
oh wait is that why..
For aphro yes
my next question was actually.. I just spoke to Sisyphus
and he said I was courting both Than and Meg
which... I wasn't TRYING to do...?
Some dialogues get mixed
I'm not sure how maxing out those relates to the romance mechanic
because i'm also still working on Dusa as well
Than I just need 3 ambrosia
Dusa needs 4 i think
well i wanted to see all their chibi-icons tho... ;_;
they're really cute and its nice to see the collection in the keepsakes...
so its not possible then?
well because... well what happens when you romance TWO characters??
Nothing
I mean its greek mythology but this isn't a harem sim.. x_x
well how does the other character respond to you maxing out like that?
cause i maxed Meg first.. does she get super pissed?
No
huh, weird
Why would they get pissed
Lol
I mean in the witcher if you did that Trish and Yennifer tie you to a bed naked and buzz off
Well that also happens here, but I dont think they tie you
OOF
Well meg probably does
Didn't someone point out that there were whip sounds in the meg cutscene?
well, its VERY obvious they're whip sounds
So yeah wouldn't be surprised if typing people up wasn't a thing.
they don't even try to hide it.
man these gods are freaky
but... ok if that's the case then why haven't Hermes and Demeter been unlocked? I try to grab them anytime I can on runs..
if Aphrodite requires 2 romances completed what are their stipulations?
oh right and Hypnos
oh ok i found a wiki dang
They are all different
With hermes you need to talk to him while you have the lambent plume lvl 3 and equipped
Demeter just progress the main story pretty much
Talk to persephone, dem, zeus
They all have their own favor
well really i don't have many left which is why i'm asking
Is cool
