I think you need to meet ||Nyx at Chaos realm|| to trigger further dialogue to complete that prophecy.

fossil kraken
#

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.

vagrant nova
#

Maybe share the idea via a pastebin link or the like?

fossil kraken
#

Ahhhhhh smart!

#

Thanks, didnt think of that

#

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 💩

marble frost
#

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 😉

normal kiln
#

fossil kraken
#

This is true!

marble frost
#

I'm not spoiling Orpheus & Achilles sub-plots, but... hang in there ajfingerguns

fossil kraken
#

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...

marble frost
#

make sure to pet him 21 times at a bare minimum

#

per visit

fossil kraken
#

Hahaha I'm past that

#

22 times iirc

#

Yep 22 pets, 23 escapes. No Cerberus this time

normal kiln
#

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

fossil kraken
#

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?

normal kiln
#

you get to continue playing

fossil kraken
#

If the game just ends I'm gonna just intentionally fail at escaping until I finish

#

Ah ok!

normal kiln
#

in fact, you don’t even get the credits after just one win

#

you need several

fossil kraken
#

Perfect!

#

Okay that's all I needed to know

#

Appreciate you.

normal kiln
#

np

fossil kraken
#

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.

normal kiln
#

You can get enough, yeah

#

it does take a good while tho

fossil kraken
#

Awesome

"Zeus... his beard may be luxurious but he's as much a hold as you are!"

#

Beard insecurity

normal kiln
#

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

void agate
#

Is there a fast way to change a run's seed without dying?

atomic forge
#

No

normal kiln
#

lmao

void agate
#

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.

normal kiln
#

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

void agate
#

it was not

normal kiln
#

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

primal yacht
#

LERNIE VANQUISHED

I thought it was just a meme

I'm dying

wait until ||Alecto berates you for teaching words to Tisiphone||

#

Oh no

obsidian owl
#

Omg

#

I finally got Than’s romance scene last night 🥺🥺🥺

#

The 180 hours it took was worth it

fossil kraken
#

"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

prime mulch
#

wait until ||Alecto berates you for teaching words to Tisiphone||
@marble frost isnt it meg

marble frost
#

meg was second in talking to me about this, and in a cool way, not angry or anything, so there's that

thorny helm
#

How do I use spoiler tags

marble frost
#

|| at both end of the message

thorny helm
#

||I beat the game ten times and got the ending.. is there anything after||

fossil kraken
#

||hahahahahahaha Dusa whisper gossiping with Meg is absolute gold||

#

Dusa is so cute..

marble frost
#

@thorny helm yes, a lot

wraith moth
#

Why sometimes i cannot go into extreme measures 4 ?

spare remnant
#

Have you unlocked it?

wraith moth
#

you need to unlock em4 ?

vague hedge
#

yeah with the renovation shades

wraith moth
#

how do you do that

#

@vague hedge

vague hedge
#

next to hades's desk?

#

where you can buy stuff to renovate the house

#

it'll be on the first page for 100 GS

wraith moth
#

nah but how do you get access to it

#

how do you unlock it

vague hedge
#

just play more if it hasn't

#

hades himself should prompt you when it's available

buoyant zodiac
#

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?

unreal topaz
#

I just ||brought Persephone back to the underworld||, is this the true ending?

vague hedge
#

that's credits but there's a whole post-game epilogue hours left of story still to go

slate flame
#

I need to grind for more Friendship Juice ugh

unreal topaz
#

ah good, I'm happy to hear there's still more for me to do outside of the pact of punishment and fate stuff

vague hedge
#

absolutely

marble frost
#

I mean, the game's not really complete unless you've gotten ||the last rank at the resources director all of the renovations done||

slate flame
#

What IS the best way to farm for friendship juice to give to your friends for friendship and dating reasons

dusk turret
#

I mean, the game's not really complete unless you've gotten ||the last rank at the resources director all of the renovations done||
@marble frost based

tepid tiger
#

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

placid plinth
#

you need max hearts with most of the olympians to start the epilogue quest

tepid tiger
#

oooh i see i see

#

ok cool cool

#

thank you!

nocturne cedar
#

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.

slate flame
#

How much do you have to practice the Lyre fyi? And waht counts as "practice"?

drifting citrus
#

you need to interact with it ||over 200 times||

coarse helm
#

|| Whats the renovation for nyx for the one that requires darkness ||

rocky dirge
#

It's for her and Chaos' quest

unreal dagger
#

Yeah isnt a renovation really, is their favor

slate flame
#

Yeah but where / when does the actual turn in prompt for it show up

#

like isn't it under the contractor

unreal dagger
#

Should be yes

outer copper
#

Is there any benefit to forging bonds?

unreal dagger
#

No

outer copper
#

Other than advancing the story as much as possible?

sudden tulip
#

With certain characters there is a benefit

unreal dagger
#

Like who?

#

Afaik you dont need to fully bond with me to get battie right?

outer copper
#

The ones that provide companions?

sudden tulip
#

Oh yeah with them it's just one ambrosia ig

unreal dagger
#

Yeah you dont need to "bond"

sudden tulip
#

Anyway to get the epilogue you need to forge some bonds

unreal dagger
#

Oh well that

outer copper
#

Ok

unreal dagger
#

But thats also story

#

Not really a benefit

outer copper
#

Also is there any trick to catching very rare fish?

unreal dagger
#

Click fast

#

Thats the trick

sudden tulip
#

Keeping your hand very close to the button/key

unreal dagger
#

The faster. The higher chance for rare fish

outer copper
#

Ok, I'm over 80 fish so far, still none that are very rare.

sudden tulip
#

It's <0.3s reaction time iirc

unreal dagger
#

You need a perfect catch to have a 5% chance for rare fish

outer copper
#

I just checked, I've caught 184 fish.

unreal dagger
#

I have like 420 bouldy

outer copper
#

Perfect catch? Is that anticipating the bobber going under and hitting the button right then?

marble frost
placid plinth
#

just have good reactions

unreal dagger
#

Yeha just gotta click pretty fast

#

It will specifically say perfect catch on top

outer copper
#

Ok

unreal dagger
#

A bit of a tip, there are 3 maximum fake bobs afaik, so after that, is biting guaranteed

placid plinth
#

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

outer copper
#

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

placid plinth
#

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

outer copper
#

I'll try that

#

Thanks for the advice.

void solar
#

Oh man I borrowed money from charon and ended up causing a fight and I got stomped so badly

unreal dagger
#

One thing you learn from a lot of rogulikes: dont "borrow" from shopkeepers

marble frost
#

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..."

unreal dagger
#

Yeha that was a neat touch

vital tartan
#

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

echo otter
#

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

unreal dagger
#

Pretty sure that came with the update from like 2 days ago

#

Cause I have never seen that before either

echo otter
#

well it's an amazing easter egg. the little things SG put into this game is what makes it GOTY for me

spark turret
#

obsidian owl
#

Omfg???

marble frost
#

First EM3 run... Absolutely LOVE it !

echo otter
#

i am still SO bad at both EM2 and EM3, but my god are they fun fights

obsidian owl
#

EM runs are so fun!! Im curious as to what the last one is coolflushed

empty stump
#

forgive me I'm not that familiar with gaming terms, what does EM mean?

echo otter
#

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

forest dove
#

extreme measures @empty stump

echo otter
#

EM= extreme measures on the pact of punishment

empty stump
#

AH thank you makes sense

forest dove
#

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

unreal dagger
#

Achilles is shy

echo otter
#

it's random when it's given to you, unfortunately

unreal dagger
#

Random bouldy

forest dove
#

I've done like 10+ suicide runs after running out of dialogue options with him, god damn

#

my luck must be atrocious

unreal dagger
#

Are you petting doggo before attempting to escape?

forest dove
#

always pet the doggo

unreal dagger
#

Good

outer copper
#

There are people that don't pet him?

forest dove
#

the shades in the depth of tartarus

#

that's why they're there

#

didn't pet enough dogs

grand laurel
#

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?||

unreal dagger
#

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

unreal topaz
#

🤨

little does he know Nyx is actually our step mother

In good news: I can successfully beat Tartarus and Asphodel’s bosses without dying once now!

“What about Elysium?” ....hah.

Go where thanthink

#

He ain't going anywhere

cinder helm
#

Question is there any way of getting the fight with charon?

covert oriole
#

Just visit his shop more. I've noticed it won't spawn in the shop before an arena though

cinder helm
#

But is there anyway to gaurentie it?

unreal dagger
#

Nope

Ok done my job

#

See you guys

unreal dagger
#

Bye

atomic forge
#

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?

unreal dagger
#

Hes your stepbrother

#

Its totally fine bouldy

#

Technically meg is your stepbrother too and I dont see you complaining

drifting citrus
#

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

unreal dagger
#

Correct

drifting citrus
#

it's not like there are other motherly figures in the house lol

unreal dagger
#

Hades best mom

When Hades disappears from his Desk of Bureaucracy it's because he's going to yoga class.

No, hes doing laundry

lime storm
#

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 😭

zealous star
#

pretty likely tbh

primal yacht
#

Yeah he commented on it on like, my first Rail run

#

Or pretty soon after

zealous star
#

same

#

however, you MAY just be the most unlucky person ever, and he really hasnt
but i doubt it

lime storm
#

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

zealous star
#

should

#

idk im actually not quite there yet lol but i assume he has commented on it already

lime storm
#

I think my mistake was that i invested 3 titan bloods in zag rail, and 2 each for the other 2 aspects

zealous star
#

ahhh

#

yea

#

afaik you have to invest 5 into the OTHER ones, excluding zag aspect

#

methinks

lime storm
#

Rippp i only invested that on my last run i think ah

#

Well HOPEFULLY i'll get it soon

#

Thanks for the help!!

zealous star
atomic forge
#

Technically meg is your stepbrother too and I dont see you complaining
@unreal dagger wait what

#

besides

#

dusa best girl

unreal dagger
#

Meg more or less considers nyx a mother too

#

Or at least thats what I got from her

open berry
#

no

unreal dagger
#

Tatz we already had this conversation

open berry
atomic forge
#

wait i didn't even think of that

#

like who meg and her sisters are related to

unreal dagger
#

Yes you posted that, but when you have multiple people arriving to the same conclusion

#

It means something

open berry
#

yes and greg concedes in the thread there is some dialogue that can lead to that but its not the intended interpretation.

unreal dagger
#

Correct

#

But we are talking about mythology and interpretation

atomic forge
#

i just googled it

unreal dagger
#

Everyone can interpret it the way they want tbh

#

Were all different

atomic forge
#

and they're saying that megaera and her sisters parents are Uranus and nyx

unreal dagger
#

There are different sources

atomic forge
#

who's Uranus again? Except for that one joke

unreal dagger
#

Uranus is a tian afaik

atomic forge
#

god of the sky

#

huh

#

man mythology is weird

unreal dagger
#

Nvm

#

Not titan yeah

#

There are different sources

atomic forge
#

okay so nyx boned the sky

open berry
#

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

atomic forge
#

you go girl

#

who's attacking who

open berry
#

i dont mean here but. yknow.

unreal dagger
#

It doesnt get away weirder than thanatos

#

Who actually is a son of nyx

open berry
#

that whole thread did actually lead to a bunch of drama on twitter

unreal dagger
#

So let people think of meg what they want

atomic forge
#

yeah agreed

#

but like

#

gods aren't exactly great at doing morally right things

#

so i wouldn't put incest past them

unreal dagger
#

Correct

#

Zeus is the god of having sex pretty much lmfao

atomic forge
#

yep

open berry
#

well no but people like to attribute their morals to beings who were not meant to be paragons of good morals

atomic forge
#

didn't he have some lines about that in the game lol

unreal dagger
#

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

open berry
#

shes a general caretaker

atomic forge
#

and poseidon is the dad of the bull of minos right

unreal dagger
#

But the game personification

#

No

#

He isnt

#

Pos sentenced the bull of mino to the labyrinth

atomic forge
#

ah i might've remembered it wrong

#

he did do some curse stuff tho

unreal dagger
#

Yes

atomic forge
#

to a king

open berry
#

i mean realistically speaking none of the gods are innocent

unreal dagger
#

Correct

atomic forge
#

oh yeah no way

#

ah i swore

#

they're all bad peeps

unreal dagger
#

Persephone is literally zags mom and foster cousin lmao

atomic forge
#

wait

#

my brain

#

man incest family trees are confusing lmao

unreal dagger
#

Persephone is daugher of demeter, who up to a point is zags foster aunt

#

Making persephone his foster cousin

#

Also his mother

atomic forge
#

bruh

unreal dagger
#

This is all zeus fault tbh

#

Hes the weird one

#

And forces others

atomic forge
#

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

unreal dagger
#

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

primal yacht
#

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

atomic forge
#

yeah it's like uh

#

homunculus

#

just a human scaled to crazy mode

primal yacht
#

@unreal dagger there's a great chart of their family tree

unreal dagger
#

Lovely

open berry
#

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

primal yacht
#

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

atomic forge
#

lmao

#

from what i remember the egyptian tree is also pretty wacky

unreal dagger
#

It wasn't cronos genitals

atomic forge
#

Ra jerked himself off to give birth to his children back when there was nothing

unreal dagger
#

It was uranus

#

Cronos cut uranus nuts

open berry
#

guys keep it clean..

primal yacht
#

Ah sorry yeah Ouranos

atomic forge
#

ah sorry

open berry
#

the mods are going to come flying in

unreal dagger
#

We are talking about mytbology

primal yacht
#

Also Persephone's dad is Zeus

unreal dagger
#

Not in all sources

atomic forge
#

it's pretty hard to keep it clean when talking mythology though

primal yacht
#

So Zeus is both Zag's uncle and grandpa

open berry
#

yeah but its still a family friendly server that doesnt talk about inappropriate topics lol

atomic forge
#

aight gotcha

unreal dagger
#

The one used in the game, persephone dad is a human

primal yacht
#

And Hades was banging his cousin.

#

Yeah they definitely tried to where possible make the family tree less of a series of rectangles

unreal dagger
#

Yeah

primal yacht
#

It's still pretty Wuthering Heights though 😂

unreal dagger
atomic forge
#

also i'm green now

unreal dagger
#

Cronos after seeing aphro raise from his dad nuts

atomic forge
#

yay

#

lol

unreal dagger
atomic forge
#

man i hope they add a few more gods at some point

#

to hades

unreal dagger
#

I doubt it

atomic forge
#

like god of the sun would be hella cool

#

yeah me too

unreal dagger
#

Game is pretty much over already

atomic forge
#

but a man can dream

unreal dagger
#

A man can dream, but can he escape the underworld?

atomic forge
#

bruh

#

so deep

#

deep as tartarus

unreal dagger
#

Well sisyphus did

#

So yeah

atomic forge
unreal dagger
#

A man can

atomic forge
#

oh btw i'm like

#

||one diamond away from saving sisyphus||

#

so that's hype

unreal dagger
#

Oof

Go and slay lernie

||Finally got the epilogue, Havent even gotten Rail 4th aspect lol. Was a bit disappointed and I expected more but it was good 🙂 ||

#

It was good but I honestly expected more

atomic forge

#

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 🙂 ||

atomic forge
#

oh boy i cant wait

unreal dagger
#

Extreme measures

atomic forge
#

ah lol

#

i did beat the third extreme boss first try tho

#

in some ways it's easier than the normal version tbh

unreal dagger
#

Theseus is easier

#

Asterius is the real deal

lone anchor
#

depends on the run

atomic forge
#

oh ya totally

lone anchor
#

there are times where you will die really easly to them

#

especially with fists

atomic forge
#

i just had a really nutty spear one

#

with zeus

#

lots of lightning

#

very very frightening

lone anchor
#

or just have a cheesy dodge build

atomic forge
#

i love those too

#

btw do any of you people play smite?

unreal dagger
#

I do

atomic forge
#

There's a couple of designs there of the greek gods that are really cool

unreal dagger
#

Or used to

#

I stopped playing around the release the cthulu

atomic forge
#

any reason for that or just because eh

#

cause sometimes i just forget to play it myself

#

for months

unreal dagger
#

Computer crapped itself

atomic forge
#

ah heck

unreal dagger
#

I'm currently playing hades in the lowest resolution

atomic forge
#

oof

unreal dagger
#

Isnt that bad as it sounds tbh

atomic forge
#

yeah it seems like the kind of game that'd be bearable with it

#

keep truckin

unreal dagger
#

Like if I post a pic right now you wouldn't notice the difference unless you were actually looking for differences

atomic forge
#

ah well it's good to stay positive y'know

unreal dagger
#

Gotta escape the underworld somehow

atomic forge
#

i'll cheer you on

unreal dagger
atomic forge
#

Yeah same

atomic forge
#

i went in blind

unreal dagger
#

I love the story and stuff

#

But the gameplay kills it for me

atomic forge
#

i remember loving the horned lady

#

she's cool

unreal dagger
#

Yeah she's quite lovely

#

🤣

atomic forge
#

lovely friendly

calm hornet
#

is the prophecy for charon have to be consecutive runs or is it runs where I just beat him twice?

quiet burrow
#

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

calm hornet
#

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

remote halo
#

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.

calm hornet
#

which one is a queens plan?

remote halo
#

The one where you need to get affinity with Olympians to see ||Persephone's Plan to get the Epilogue||

calm hornet
#

wtf I never got that and I still got the epilogue

remote halo
#

I am full Affinity with Zeus/Poseidon/Athena/Aphrodite/Ares/Artemis/Dyonisos and Hermes I've already finished the game 66 times

calm hornet
#

well you cant get full affinity with demeter till the epilogue

remote halo
#

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.

calm hornet
#

what does it say you need to do?

#

I straight up never got the quest

remote halo
#

||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 Diamond

  • Grow closer with more olympians so the plan can unfold ||
calm hornet
#

is demeter at the final heart?

remote halo
#

Yep

calm hornet
#

maybe you just have to wait for the dialogue with hades

#

maybe max out the queen and hades?

remote halo
#

Already maxed out as well

fallow pond
#

i've done the epilogue and i never got that one

remote halo
#

I can DM you my keepsake

fallow pond
#

i just got the one for the epilogue itself after i got enough olympians to max hearts

#

like the inviting one

remote halo
#

Ye, I really don't know what i'm missing out, but after 100+ hours on the game I'd like to finish it

calm hornet
#

Is hades still giving new dialogue?

remote halo
#

Nope

lime storm
#

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

remote halo
#

ruetorubble normally yes you can't increase anything with a god twice in a run

lime storm
#

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

remote quail
#

I have the aspect of Arthur and Goron Yu. How do I get another aspect?

remote halo
#

To Unlock aspects you need to finish the game with the weapon at least a few times if I remember

remote quail
#

Ahhhhh. How many you think it takes?

remote halo
#

2 I think

#

maybe more, I've played too much the early access to know exactly

remote quail
#

ok.

unreal dagger
#

Got a Sturgeon!!!!

#

finally

prime mulch
#

@remote quail check the pinned posts in yhis channel

#

u to do something

remote quail
#

gotcha

quaint wadi
#

how do you get the stickers from cerberus and hypnos?

unreal dagger
#

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

quaint wadi
#

ty

civic nebula
#

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?

clever oasis
#

zag has a green eye from his mom and a red eye from his dad

civic nebula
#

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.

atomic forge
#

Zag's red eye and both of Hades' eyes have black sclera.

#

Hades' eyes are just smaller.

clever oasis
#

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||

unreal dagger
#

sometimes what you think is a lot, isn't enough

#

take the lyre for example

quiet kernel
#

Regarding the Olympian God's favours I'm kinda confused as to what I need to do to unlock some of these hearts

unreal dagger
#

everyone got their own mini quest

quiet kernel
#

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

unreal dagger
#

talk some more with him

quiet kernel
#

Hmm okay

#

Same deal with dio?

unreal dagger
#

did you gift ambrosia to people?

quiet kernel
#

Already got the line about how much nectar/ambrosia I've gifted yeah

unreal dagger
#

then yeah thats my best guest

#

keep talking to them

quiet kernel
#

Just got bonds with 18 out of 25

unreal dagger
#

i got all residentzag

stark violet
#

I'm almost done with all the gods

quiet kernel
#

Oh uhh one more question while you're here, any way to make hypnos' heart unlock quicker?

unreal dagger
#

nope

stark violet
#

I haven't done him yet so I don't know

unreal dagger
#

same thing

#

talk to him

#

and thanatos

quiet kernel
#

I guess most things in Hades can be solved by "spam more runs"

#

And talk to everyone

unreal dagger
#

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"

warm crow
#

I’ve made it to ||the epilogue||! shadesmile

unreal dagger
#

congratz

warm crow
#

Oh

#

Uh ... maybe not quite shadeembarassed

unreal dagger
#

lol let me guess, youre in the credits

#

if so, thats not the epilogue lol

warm crow
#

lol yep

unreal dagger
stark violet
#

woo boy

#

hope you have a lot of nectar

warm crow
#

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

stark violet
warm crow
#

Is there a number a hearts I need with Ares before I’ll get his prophecy?

#

I have almost 20k kills...

stark violet
#

I think you just receive it through rng dialogue

warm crow
#

Welp I guess I’ll see y’all in a year or two

stark violet
#

that is exactly how I feel about getting the shield secret aspect

unreal dagger
#

For his favor you need to reach the locked heart

severe pebble
distant pike
#

love superbunnyhop

hardy girder
#

omg did dusa just woo-hoo me

void solar
#

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

ashen latch
#

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

lethal blaze
#

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||

ashen latch
#

Yeah, the Orphism Easter egg was super neat

#

Especially how the hymn || incorporates stuff from both the myth and game ||

lethal blaze
#

Its such a cool touch. Has me motivated to finish the Story line for Orpheus and Eurydice

balmy verge
#

Gotta watch that now

void solar
#

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

fast shuttle
#

Nemesis aspect Spear? Isn't nemesis a Stygian Blade aspect?

unreal dagger
#

lmfao was gonna say the same

fast shuttle
#

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.

calm hornet
#

did u invest the needed blood?

fast shuttle
#

I've got zag aspect maxed on the rail

#

So I think so

calm hornet
#

unlucky

#

the aspect aint all that anyways

fast shuttle
#

Yea I think I'd just use zag or eris anyway but I would like the achievement

calm hornet
#

how do I unlock the stupid last posideon heart

ivory spire
#

Catch a fish before you encounter him

#

Assuming you caught a lot of fishes beforehand, including legendaries

boreal scaffold
#

does ||hades|| give you special dialogue if you ||confront and/or beat him without any boons?||

unreal topaz
#

Is that even possible?

ivory spire
#

It has been done. Someone in this discord did it.
I don't think there's dialog for it.

fast idol
#

Yeah there is dialogue for it

#

If you wash away most of your boons at the fountains and also avoid getting them

upbeat willow
#

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

atomic forge
#

damn

#

that sounds like a crazy feat

#

now do it on max heat as well

fast idol
#

I think 0 boons is impossible

#

Bc poms probably only appear when you have boons

upbeat willow
#

0 boons is possible

#

it's just really damn hard

#

(I'm not counting hammers as boons btw)

jade turtle
#

I did a single boom once

#

Boon

upbeat willow
#

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

boreal scaffold
#

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||

unreal topaz
#

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

warm eagle
#

Just got extreme measures Theseus. What kind of abomination am I looking at

unreal topaz
#

😭

light thistle
#

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

dreamy juniper
#

Up to my 9th fight with hades I've heard he dosen';t fight you but is that on 10 or?

atomic forge
#

10th

dreamy juniper
#

Ty

faint jasper
#

This doesn’t have to do with the story but it’s spoilers so. Which is the best ||companion||?

dreamy juniper
#

Does the 10th try also let you cheese the heat reward

#

for blood

faint jasper
#

I believe so

dreamy juniper
#

I see

#

ty

south ravine
#

10 win is were you want to do high heat as possible dusa

dreamy juniper
#

personally not gonna chese it

faint jasper
#

So does anyone know which ||companion|| is the strongest?

normal echo
#

||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?||

light thistle
#

I think there are more than one viable companion. You may even discover that you like different ones at different heat

faint jasper
#

Well which companion is terrible and should never be used. Except Skelly since that’s sorta obvious.

light thistle
#

||I have used Mort, Battie and Shady|| and liked all of them

faint jasper
#

Right now I’m using ||Battie||

#

I assume ||Mort|| is better right?

#

Since more damage

light thistle
#

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

faint jasper
#

Okay

#

What about Dusa’s?

wind sage
#

||bat|| technically does more dmg

faint jasper
#

Since I just need to give her ||ambrosia|| and ill get it

wind sage
#

because the area is larger

faint jasper
#

Eh I can never land all the hits from ||bat||

wind sage
#

I dont really use ||dusa's||

#

seems finicky

light thistle
#

i've barely used that one

faint jasper
#

It aims for you right?

#

So maybe it’ll be good with me since I suck at that xD

fast idol
#

I think Rib is probs the best considering you can just land save damage, get to a save position, something like that

light thistle
#

practice, practice

#

and darkness

#

:P

daring hound
#

I always go with antos, guaranteed 3000 base damage

#

Plus I like the battle couple

light thistle
#

guaranteed until they tp out of your aoe?

#

:P

daring hound
#

Wait it has an aoe?

fast idol
#

I think it hits two targets

light thistle
#

oh mb I misread

fast idol
#

and if there is only one it hits one target twice

light thistle
#

carry on

daring hound
#

Yeah the aoe made me stop using mort a lot

fast idol
#

Battie is great against Hydra and Theseus+Minotaur since it has multiple hits

faint jasper
#

Should battie be usedbonce the heads spawn?

#

Since I always used it before that

lime storm
#

Umm wtf i just fought charon that was so unexpected

daring hound
#

I dropped mort after Charon walked out of it and I suffered two death defiances

fast idol
#

yeah you can land hits on a lot of heads in second head phase

daring hound
#

Yeah Charon is a chunky boy, but he is quite slow

lime storm
#

His health is so hard to carve down

fast idol
#

I honestl only go against him when I have Athena dash

#

since he has a lot of reflectable projectiles

lime storm
#

I had lucifer on me

fast idol
#

plus a long range weapon

daring hound
#

I only go against him when I am prepared to lose the round

#

Too much of a hassle tbh

fast idol
#

Melee is just really finnicky against his chunk melees

lime storm
#

Oh so he's pretty hard then, it was so random i just thought wow gold

fast idol
#

plus ||you can't even summon SKelly in the fight||

faint jasper
#

Against Charon just use shield and Athena dash

daring hound
#

Oh crap didnt know that lol

faint jasper
#

Then it’s easy

daring hound
#

But then again I dont ever use the thing

faint jasper
#

You’ll lose like 1 death defiance at most

fast idol
#

yea shield takes a while but is efficient at least

light thistle
#

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

faint jasper
#

I hate it when characters just start not showing up just when you’re about to give them ambrosia

daring hound
#

How do yall catch a legendary fish

#

Idk if it's bad luck or my reaction but I havent caught anything

light thistle
#

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?

faint jasper
#

I’ve never seen it before so I do

#

Idk*

daring hound
#

Me too

#

Ive never gotten anything outside a damn knucklehead

light thistle
#

||Perfect catch is 0.34 second window after plop. The main things to look out for:

  1. React to the flash of light
  2. React to the PLOP sound
  3. 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

unreal topaz
#

just beat the elysium boss battle 13 minutes in im so proud of myself

faint jasper
#

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

daring hound
#

Huh will try that fishing tip out thanks

#

Also it's sad how nobody talks about Sisy companion :(

light thistle
#

I like it

#

hilarious design as wel

#

also I killed a bouldy with a bouldy in one of my runs

#

HILARIOUS

faint jasper
#

I wonder if Shady is a good companion

#

I mean it’s kind of weak but

#

It drops stuff

light thistle
#

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

unreal topaz
#

yep yep new record

#

previous speed record was 26 minutes and now it's 17

#

18*

light thistle
#

gratz

#

:D

#

And thus ended the prince's life

unreal topaz
#

😔

#

there is no escape

faint jasper
#

My fastest is 19 mins

#

And what did you die on?

unreal topaz
#

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

faint jasper
#

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)

wind sage
#

is it?

#

I think its great

faint jasper
#

Well I’ve seen nobody use it online

daring hound
#

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

light thistle
#

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||

strong flax
#

is there a way to keep track of what weapon you used to beat what boss

wind sage
#

other than the pact?

stuck delta
#

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

wind sage
#

they added that in 1.0

drifting citrus
#
  • Theseus and The Minotaur: they have learned a new tag-team maneuver (once you reach a certain point...)
    from #hades-patch-notes
stuck delta
#

mm okay

#

i thought that was just the yeet

wind sage
#

they have two different combo attacks

drifting citrus
#

i imagine "a certain point" in their dialogues

stuck delta
#

oh that point

#

makes sense

wind sage
#

added to make them seem more like a team rather than two individual fighters

stuck delta
#

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

drifting citrus
#

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

violet lark
#

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

#

ffs

strong flax
#

wheres the pact?

atomic forge
#

what pact? the pact of punishment? You open it every time before starting a run

strong flax
#

is that where i can check what bosses i beat with each weapon?

marble frost
#

just a reminder, the Pact is only available once you've won at least once

atomic forge
#

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

#

I mean that entire story arc is great

torpid vine
#

It is. I wanted more of it!

open berry
#

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

@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.||

#

honestly that attack

#

is too much

unreal dagger
#

Sounds like a bug tbh

grand tiger
#

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 =/

silent remnant
#

uhm i was going through the pinned messages for the arms aspects, but what's the ||aspect of Guan Yu||? I'm really confused thanthink

unreal dagger
#

The spear hidden one

silent remnant
#

ohhh

unreal dagger
#

The one you need to unlock the rest

silent remnant
#

ohh thank you!

analog lark
#

how do you even dodge hades spin?

torpid vine
#

||To the person who asked about romancing Than and Meg: apparently there's a duo bedroom scene. I wanna get that||

analog lark
#

i just died with 3 lives on hades

#

just because of spin and hands

torpid vine
#

Double dash as soon as you see the white outline

analog lark
#

hands dealt 125 damage each

torpid vine
#

Go in whatever direction he isn't.

analog lark
#

double dash where, out? in?

#

isnt it just safer to i-frame it

#

the range is absurd

torpid vine
#

The spin moves him.

analog lark
#

yeah but cant you i-frame dash it

signal swan
#

you can

torpid vine
#

You can

analog lark
#

then why try running away it sounds much less safe

#

i just died to it

#

trying to double dash

signal swan
#

well i hate to say it but....

#

git gud

unreal dagger
#

just because of spin and hands
Stop attacking

#

And dodge

analog lark
#

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

signal swan
#

not really i dodge into his attacks all the time its the timing you need to get down

analog lark
#

and its sometimes annoying to tell where

signal swan
#

but... its so predicable tho

#

all of his attacks are telegraphed

unreal dagger
#

Yeah is the iframes not the range

torpid vine
#

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

unreal dagger
#

Do a test run and dont attack him at all, just try dodging his attacks, learns his patterns and timing

#

It is experience

signal swan
#

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

unreal dagger
#

You will even know hes going to spin before he evens starts the spin flash

#

Is all experience

signal swan
#

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

unreal dagger
#

In phase 2 he doesnt sometimes

#

Like he throws 2 skulls then charges right away without a wind-up

signal swan
#

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?

unreal dagger
#

So if you know hes doing that, once he throws the 2 skulls you'll just dodge the stab

#

Yes

signal swan
#

yeah

unreal dagger
#

Divine dash is the best dash in the game

#

Since you can dash strike while you have iframes

signal swan
#

it really is shadesmile

unreal dagger
#

Unless you're speedrunning

signal swan
#

really? how so?

torpid vine
#

I'm having a lot of fun with Poseidon's atm

unreal dagger
#

Tidal dash helps with clear

#

Faster clear

signal swan
#

because of the push? or the speed of the dash?

#

i rarely use it so i'm clueless on speedrunning

unreal dagger
#

Because of the aoe and the push yes

signal swan
#

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

unreal dagger
#

Do you use approval process?

signal swan
#

is that the pact that needs you to do A speed run?

#

or discard boons?

unreal dagger
#

No, the one that blocks choices from boons

signal swan
#

oh. well F no I have not

unreal dagger
#

Good

#

Cause that blocks it

#

🤣

signal swan
unreal dagger
#

Did you romance with at least 2 people?

signal swan
#

oh wait is that why..

unreal dagger
#

For aphro yes

signal swan
#

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...?

unreal dagger
#

Some dialogues get mixed

signal swan
#

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

unreal dagger
#

You dont need to fully bond to romance i believe

#

Just the arrow in the codex

signal swan
#

well i wanted to see all their chibi-icons tho... ;_;

#

they're really cute and its nice to see the collection in the keepsakes...

unreal dagger
#

Ah yes

#

I really wanted that too

#

It looks so pretty once is complete

signal swan
#

so its not possible then?

unreal dagger
#

It is

#

Wdym

signal swan
#

well because... well what happens when you romance TWO characters??

unreal dagger
#

Nothing

signal swan
#

I mean its greek mythology but this isn't a harem sim.. x_x

unreal dagger
#

Then you can unlock aphro

#

Lol then dont

#

But for aphro favor you need to

signal swan
#

well how does the other character respond to you maxing out like that?

#

cause i maxed Meg first.. does she get super pissed?

unreal dagger
#

No

signal swan
#

huh, weird

unreal dagger
#

Why would they get pissed

signal swan
#

.........common video game tropes...?

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

unreal dagger
#

Lol

signal swan
#

I mean in the witcher if you did that Trish and Yennifer tie you to a bed naked and buzz off

unreal dagger
#

Well that also happens here, but I dont think they tie you

signal swan
#

OOF

unreal dagger
#

Well meg probably does

signal swan
#

OOOF

#

Free love is too tame for Zagreus

pearl vessel
#

Didn't someone point out that there were whip sounds in the meg cutscene?

signal swan
#

well, its VERY obvious they're whip sounds

pearl vessel
#

So yeah wouldn't be surprised if typing people up wasn't a thing.

signal swan
#

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

unreal dagger
#

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

signal swan
#

well really i don't have many left which is why i'm asking

unreal dagger
#

Is cool
